Summary

Barstool Pick Em | E221: Rico Bosco Negotiates His Contract With Dave Portnoy | Bowl Preview (Dec 19, 2025)

---

Episode Overview

This episode of Barstool Pick Em features Big Cat (Dan Katz), Dave Portnoy (Pres), and Rico Bosco as they dissect college football bowl season and, more importantly, dive into an extended, comically transparent negotiation between Rico and Dave about Rico’s contract. True to form, the hosts roast each other, bust balls, and weave Barstool office drama and their trademark gambling pessimism into their unique brand of college football “analysis.”

---

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Holiday Party Debrief & Office Shenanigans

• The crew opens with recaps of the Barstool holiday party, focusing on viral videos of Rico “mean-mugging” coworkers and minor intra-office beefs. Light ribbing sets the tone for the more serious—well, Barstool serious—discussions that follow.
  • [03:01] Dave: “I saw a video of you just mean mugging Meek Phil...looked like you pooped your pants in the background.”
  • [03:35] Rico: “It was a great party. It's good to say hello to everybody. It's been a great year.”

2. Michigan Football Chaos & Leadership Drama

• Dave dives into the ongoing chaos at Michigan surrounding the football program’s leadership, with asides about regents infighting, who’s really in charge, and the potential candidates to stabilize the team. This becomes a major segment and classic “Pres rants” moment.
  • [07:40] Dave: “Every day that goes by, I don't see how these kids are going to stay there. We have major problems. And I just. I don't know how you start when you don't even know who's running the show.”
  • He proposes outlandish solutions (“make Larry Ellison the czar of Michigan football”) and openly fantasizes about hiring a coach himself.
  • [09:47] Dave: “At one point, I thought I was getting on a plane to fly to Ann Arbor…that was total garbage.”

3. Barstool Office Dynamics & Old Sins

• The hosts reflect on office history, negotiating pointers, and personal accountability. Rico pokes fun at his past mistakes, referencing old drug-fueled days and learning to “laugh at yourself.”
  • [05:23] Rico: “Listen, you are a victim of your old sins. You can only get better.”

4. The Rico Contract Negotiation: Farce and Foresight

a) The Negotiation Ritual

• Rico’s expiring contract becomes the centerpiece, with the hosts lampooning the entire process.
• Rico insists he’ll stick to “the plan,” but Dan and Dave badger him for negotiation details; the conversation quickly devolves into comic banter and role play.
  • [21:56] Dave: “My biggest problem before I can get to that [contract] is I gotta figure out how to look at spreadsheets if we're being honest.”
  • [29:01] Rico: “That's what you're gonna say? What are you thinking?”
  • [29:06] Dan: “What are you thinking? Percentage. No, don't say numbers.”
• Hilarious admissions come out, including a past incident where Rico was accidentally (or not?) overpaid and didn't say a word about it.
  • [26:57] Dave: “We overpaid Bosco too much money. He knew it. Never said thank you, and then acted like I knew he was getting paid too much.”

b) The Monologue & Bosco's “Intangibles”

• Hank requests Rico’s negotiation “monologue,” and Rico delivers a comically earnest, sports-coach-style pitch heavy on “intangibles.”
  • [31:37] Rico: “Intangibles. Yeah. Diving for loose balls, hot assists, clapping on the bench.”
  • The crew jokes about how much Rico should be paid for his off-the-scoreboard value (“Do NBA players get paid more for clapping on the bench?” [31:54])

c) Rico’s Million-Dollar Dream (Confusion Ensues)

• Rico states a long-term goal—to "bring in a million dollars" for the company—creating a spiral of confusion as Dave and Dan try to figure out if Rico is aiming for a $1M salary or $1M in ad revenue.
  • [40:01] Rico: “I have a goal. I want to earn a million dollars in 2026. That's where I'm at.”
  • [41:55] Dave: “Are you saying you want your W2 to be like a million dollars? That's what I'm asking.”
  • [43:03] Rico: (after much confusion) “No, I would like to bring in a million dollars. That's a great start there.”

d) Candid Feedback: Is Rico a “Leading Man”?

• Dave gives honest (brutal) appraisals of Rico’s role: epic as a member of the Pick ‘Em trio, less compelling as a solo or “leading man.”
  • [61:16] Dave: “When you're with me getting your buttons pushed, I can't turn away. When you're the leading man, I fall asleep. I don't know how to fix though.”
• Dan and Hank chime in to soften the blow, contextualizing that the best content often comes from “office interplay” and ensemble, not solo acts.

e) New Content Ideas

• Rico pitches series concepts: “Doc-style” vignettes on heated high school or small-town rivalries, and visiting obsessive superfans at home.
  • Both ideas are lauded for enthusiasm, but the crew reminds Rico that these are harder and more expensive than they sound, and that Roan already did the superfan concept.
  • [53:24] Dan: “Roan did it. I remember the Buffalo Bills guys…”
  • [54:45] Dave: “Documentaries cost. Can you do it man on the street style, maybe. But it's really, really hard.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments (with Timestamps)

• [13:54] Dave: “Get somebody who everyone agrees is like, morally in the right spot but I don't know how. They're just doing nothing.”
• [16:02] Dan: “You'd be like, yeah, that's a great deal because we won a national title.”
• [29:06] Dan: “What are you thinking? Percentage. No, don’t say numbers.”
• [31:37] Rico: “Intangibles. Yeah. Diving for loose balls, hot assists, clapping on the bench.”
• [40:01] Rico: “I have a goal. I want to earn a million dollars in 2026. That’s where I’m at. So day by day, stick with the plan.”
• [61:16] Dave: “When you’re with me getting your buttons pushed, I can’t turn away. When you’re the leading man, I fall asleep.”
• [66:08] Hank: “But being a nine hitter on a World Series contending team…”
• [68:51] Dave: “It was the biggest no brainer deal that I’ve seen cross our desk. To me it was the easiest decision to make.”
• [72:24] Dave: “We’ve been trying to get deals and partners. That’s how you grow.”

Tone & Flow

The episode is classic Barstool Pick Em—chaotic, irreverent, deeply self-referential, and more preoccupied with internal banter than actual sports handicapping. Office politics and relationships are foregrounded, with a running undercurrent about the absurdity and genuine affection within Barstool. The humor oscillates from deadpan to slapstick, with no sacred cows (especially not Rico).

---

Takeaways for New Listeners

• The bulk of the episode is a parody-tinged, semi-serious negotiation, painting an honest picture of Barstool’s internal logic (and illogic).
• Dave’s leadership rants and unfiltered feedback demonstrate Barstool’s “sink or swim” culture and why on-air chemistry trumps analytics.
• Every contract negotiation, spreadsheet, or pitch is a content opportunity—no inside baseball is too granular for the show.
• Coverage of the actual bowl games is present but secondary, consumed by the office dynamic, and often played for laughs over analysis.

Hello, boys. It is the pick' Em bowl bowl edition. Happy holidays to everyone.

[Dave]

Happy holidays.

[Rico Bosco]

Happy holidays.

[Dan]

Oh, wow. We're. We're in. How was the holiday party, Rico?

[Dave]

I thought it was great. I saw a video of you just mean mugging Mike Meek Phil. Like, Meek Phil is, like, enjoying doing festivities, and you're just like, look like you. You pooped your pants in the background.

[Dan]

Is that true?

[Dave]

Have you seen the video?

[Dan]

I saw the videos.

[Rico Bosco]

A little bit of a reach.

[Dave]

Did you see. Did you see Bosco in the background?

[Dan]

He was not happy.

[Dave]

He, like, just beside himself.

[Rico Bosco]

Like, I. I wouldn't say beside himself. I. I think I made a little bit of an eye roll. Like, you had.

[Dave]

You had a lot of eye rolls. A lot of disgust in your face.

[Dan]

So it was a good party. Other than you being disgusted by Meek Phil?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, it was a great party. It's good to say hello to everybody. It's been a great year.

[Dave]

What was the tweet? What was the tweet about you versus the data team?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that's just Jack. So Gaz is sitting there with Greer. I'm obviously saying hello to Greer. And Greer's like, you know, I don't. Like, you know, it's not me. I'm like, greer. I know, man. Like, it's. It's all good. And then he's like, it's. It's the guys I work with and this and that. And, like, they came over and we were kind of just busting chops.

[Hank]

That's also a lie. It's Greer.

[Rico Bosco]

What do you mean? Yeah, probably. But I don't know him well enough that he could be. It's like Scooby Doo, that stress ball you got today. I was on the desk. I thought it would be. I thought, we'll see how it goes.

[Dan]

I know it's kick the handles.

[Rico Bosco]

Just keep the hand motions at a limit. So, yeah, so Greer's like, oh, these are the guys. Guys. Like, these are the guys and just like to break the ice. I'm like, greer says you guys run crooked numbers. They start laughing. We start laughing. It's like, whatever. I'm like, who do you guys, like, Alabama or Oklahoma? And they were like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Dan]

All right.

[Rico Bosco]

Happy holidays. Like, good to go. It was very low key, but, you know, J. That's what Jackie's gonna do on a Thursday in between, you know, expensive bottles of wine picked up by Gruden. I'm sure that was very nice of him, but, you know, that's. That's par for the course. Like, you can't get too worked up about it. We all know the people that were there know what happened. The Internet tells a different story. So that's life.

[Dan]

Yeah. That is life.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave]

I mean, every time I hear. Just reminds me, obviously, of that. Like, can you guys see there?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah.

[Dave]

That's the day that our relationship with Penn died. When Boss Stowe had Gruden in a headlock for about an hour and a half. Snowden had snowed in in a headlock for an hour and a half, and two days later, we were done.

[Rico Bosco]

Listen, you are a victim of your old sins. You can only get better. Like, that was a clear upset about the.

[Dave]

You were really similar. You were really upset about the accusations that you cornered him, which you cornered him.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Again, not an excuse. Self inflicted. Pretty drugged up during those times. So I've gotten way better with that. And, you know, taking the advice, like, you got to laugh it off, you know, like, make fun of yourself.

[Dan]

Have.

[Rico Bosco]

Have fun with it. So let it. Let it water off a duck's back, I think they say.

[Hank]

It sounds to me like Gaz called you over to talk to the data team and then texted Jackie tape.

[Dave]

And I got something that I've been sitting on, and especially with the shirt that Hank's wearing. Oh, what is going on with Hank's hair?

[Dan]

Oh.

[Dave]

At least that's better.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

You just confused. You just thought it was. You thought.

[Dan]

He just.

[Dave]

Thought he was, like, 17 and, like, hanging out on south beach or something. I didn't know what he was doing.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Hank]

So I look young.

[Dan]

Yeah, you do look young.

[Rico Bosco]

Looks like Mike Piazza.

[Dan]

All right, well, we haven't had a show in a couple weeks. We do some cleanup stuff. Dave, your colleague, another coach in institutional chaos.

[Dave]

They got to.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave]

There's so much going on there, and I'm, like, on the outside. I. I'm not. I'm not. I get a couple leaks Here and there. I talk to more coaches than I do. There's no communication or nothing from Michigan. Not that I deserve it or anything, but there's a lot of chaos there. And the more you delve into the way the school is set up, which I kind of knew, and I kind of didn't know you got these regents, who I think they're voted on, you know, and these guys, like, are run the school. Basically. There's like, five regents. And from what I've gathered, there's infighting, there's jockeying for power. Some of them are Ward manual fans, some aren't. So everyone wants to hold on to, like, a power struggle.

[Dan]

We.

[Dave]

We. I. I tweeted it, and I maintain it. They should just for the football, be like, larry Ellison's the head of the football thing. He picks up the ad, everything goes through him. They get the money, single chain of command. But right now, there's too much infighting. I don't. I don't know how they. Anybody would sign a coach at Michigan right now.

[Rico Bosco]

I don't even know who.

[Dave]

Like, we're under investigation. Is the ad gonna be there? I. I don't understand what they're doing. Maybe they have a plan. Maybe they're waiting for Kaylin DeBoer until the Alabama thing's done. You hear rumors that, fine, at this point, I take anybody.

[Rico Bosco]

Good.

[Dave]

Because every day that goes by, I don't see how these kids are going to stay there. We have major problems. And I just. I don't know how you start when you don't even know who's running the show.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And I have no idea who's running the show. Like, who can be. Like, hire this guy who has that final say.

[Dan]

You.

[Dave]

It should be Larry Ellison. Then de facto, Dave, go get it. I'm telling you, I could if. If someone said, you have the resources. I could get Kenny Dillingham in 24 hours. In 24 hours, he'd be the coach in Michigan. If you said, dave, go get your guy. You have the financial backing. We'd have Kenny Dillingham. If you want to go the way of which I've heard some people say they could clean it up, get away from Harbaugh. Totally. We need a man of honor, courage, whatever. Get Monkin. He'll go do it. Like, there's people out there. But you need. We. I. And maybe they're ahead of the game. Maybe they're. People from Michigan are sitting here listening this and laughing at me, being like, dave doesn't know what's going on. We have it under control. We're waiting for this to happen. I hope I'm wrong. To me, it seems every single day that goes by. Unless it's Kaylin DeBoer, in which case Kaylin's, like, already locked up, but he's like, I'm finishing with Alabama, and I don't want this thing to leak till after. Unless it's him. I don't know what they're doing. Every single day that goes by seems like a major, major problem. So it's chaos.

[Rico Bosco]

Has Dillingham made a comment on it, or has anybody said, like, them about it a lot?

[Dave]

I think he's been. My interpretation of his answers is, if Michigan came with a great offer and he was convinced we're not chaos, he'd be interested. How can you not. I know he loves Arizona State, but how can you not be interested in Michigan? Now we're.

[Dan]

We're again show. That's how you cannot.

[Dave]

Yeah, correct. I said, Taylor one and I talk. Taylor thinks we have. I have no idea. At one point, I thought I was getting on a plane to fly to Ann Arbor. Like, someone reached out. They're like, will you sit down with, like, the AD and the Regents? Like, they'll listen to you. I'm like, yeah, fine. And that was total garbage. So I don't know what. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know what they're doing, but I think it's a lot of people probably there who are holding on for relevance. Power. I will say on the other side, I don't think Michigan knew from what I knew about everything. Everyone's like, they waited till the signing date. I do not believe that's the case.

[Dan]

Can I think. Can I ask a question?

[Dave]

May I. Can I hear the question?

[Rico Bosco]

And then.

[Dan]

No, I got. I'm just asking questions. Questions should be allowed to be asked.

[Dave]

Okay.

[Dan]

If Michigan had beaten Ohio State, would she own more? Be coaching them in the playoff right now?

[Dave]

Yeah, probably so. But this is a theory. I don't know anything. The way this goes is he broke up with her, and when that happened, she then went like they were in lockstep. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Everyone hears the rumors. I love these guys. Like, I. I gave the. The Big Ev example. Like, Bibb at Big Ev tweeted, like, if the things I'm hearing are true, Michigan has big. Who's telling you that? Like, the hoagie sandwich. Big Ev. Like, everyone heard the same rumors. Everyone's acting like They're Josh Pate, some great source. The. It was the worst kept secret. Like, you heard the rumors. But if the two grown adults, consenting adults are. Are being like, there's nothing going on here. There's not a whole ton you can do until she comes forward with these allegations and everything in proof. Now, to answer your question, Dan, they say, from what I've gathered, he broke up with her, she didn't like it, she came forward. I've heard people be like, there's regents, there's people behind who like, enticed her, somehow coerced her. Whatever you want to say to come forward and get this. Do I think maybe there's something to that? And if they win, those people, this does. This just pushes off maybe now the. Holding the butter knife to himself, threaten to kill himself. Well, that, that's just, you know, if you listen, if you're gonna do it big, do it big. Like you were and I were texting. Like, when I'm in the middle of this controversy. Everyone's talking about Michigan. Everyone's talking about Michigan.

[Dan]

It was big to lose. It was a spectacular step up the up. It was spectacular. Crash out in 24 hours. It was quite something.

[Dave]

And I mean, I thought it was fake at first. When they're like, he just got arrested and you're hearing all the things before they're, like, reported. It's like he was holding a knife to her. It's like, what. What are we talking about? They got this girl's name on a pizza at the Brown Jug.

[Dan]

I saw that. I thought that was fake.

[Dave]

So I texted the guy. Know the guy go, is this true? And he's like, yeah. I'm like, why the is her name on your menu? And he's like, we just put the, the Everyone on the Michigan athletic staff rotates through. It's really bad timing. I'm like, so unbelievable.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And she's a nobody. Then he's like, well, I rated their pizza 1.2. He's like, if you didn't do a 1.2, it would have been your name on it. Nice kid, but I'm like, I, I, it's like, I don't even know if I believe what you're telling me. I heard credibly, that Ward Manual was fired at one point in John Beeline was the replacement, temporary ad. Like, I heard that credibly, I thought changed then. It's like, Ward saved his job because regents voted for him, by the way. I think that is the move, if you don't know what you're doing. Get rid of Ward. And it's nothing against him, but he's under investigation. He get John Bine, get the woman who coached their softball team, who by all accounts is like revered across the sport and one national championship.

[Rico Bosco]

Bring back. Yeah, bring back.

[Dave]

Get somebody who everyone agrees is like, morally on in the right spot, but I don't know how. They're just doing nothing. And the only thing I can imagine is there's people who feel like if you get word award, you lose your into influence. So it, it. It's a bad scene. And every day that goes by, I feel like hurts the program more and more.

[Dan]

Yeah, it does feel that way. But you're Michigan. You'll figure it out.

[Dave]

Unless it's Kaylin DeBoer, like, yeah, you will figure it out. It's just it to me, it's like, all right, how many years of damage are you doing? Like, the portal opens, what, January 1st.

[Dan]

And I would say, am I right about that?

[Dave]

I think it does.

[Dan]

I think it does.

[Dave]

So it's like, what, are you not going to have a coat? You're not going to have anything and anybody can go anywhere.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

So that's the shit, by the way, about the signing date that I don't really. This isn't old school. Like, these kids can all leave in.

[Rico Bosco]

A week and a half if they want.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

All right, let's take a quick break in the action and tell you about our friends. At Game time, the NFL is in full swing. Tailgates pack stands that buzz before kickoff.

[Dan]

Dave, last question, because I think I know the answer to this, but I want to ask anyway. All of this that has happened, you would.

[Dave]

You.

[Dan]

You'd be like, yeah, that's a great deal because we won a national title.

[Dave]

I won't trade anything. I. If you told me Sharon Stallions, his wrist with the butter knife and bled out. But we won a national championship two years. I think I got to take that title.

[Dan]

I. Yeah. I mean, the ending was obviously tragic. Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave]

There's different things here. I still don't consider Connor Stallion, like, Connor Stallions, to me, did not cheat. Like, people can say what they want. He was the crowd. He's a smart guy, and he did things that are gamesmanship. I have absolutely no problem with any of it. This. This is like a totally. And again, the people blame Ward Emanuel. Like, how are you supposed to know the guy you hire is going to have an affair and show up? How. Jawan Howard's the Punch. Like, the hockey coach thing, I think, is pretty typical for hockey and people being. But, like, some of these things are not Ward's fault to me.

[Rico Bosco]

But.

[Dan]

But.

[Rico Bosco]

But.

[Dave]

I don't know. They can come back from this having.

[Dan]

Like, seven dudes been arrested.

[Dave]

We've had. Yeah. I mean, but there's fucking shit on every single. Like, the Michigan State guy, I forget his name is like, dude, you guys forfeited games. You have Larry Nassar. You have all. Like, there's always shit everywhere. If you dig deep enough in this. In some of the arrests, I mean, a DUI, like, all right, he got DUI. That's terrible. But, like, a lot of people getting DUIs breaking into the. The offensive coordinate, Matt Weiss breaking into. Like, that one's bad. I don't. I don't stand for that.

[Dan]

No.

[Dave]

And let's clear up Sharon Moore. Sharon is not a Michigan man. Like, there's a lot of people trying to be like, oh, I think it was Jim Rome. Like, you got to stop hiring within Michigan. Well, he. We didn't hire him within Michigan. He went to Oklahoma.

[Hank]

He.

[Dave]

He coached at Louisville. And Har. Har is a Michigan man.

[Rico Bosco]

He went there. He did.

[Dave]

But, like, he's not a Michigan man. So don't say we should. The Michigan man ideal has never been more alive in my mind. Listen to me talk. I don't like. I don't like the Michigan men who are abandoning. What. Being a Michigan man is like, Jake Butt, who's nice no, we are still Michigan men and the people like it it. I gave the perfect analogy. It's for everybody. And Dan, you're one of them. It's for the people who can't get into the club they want to get into and they just hate that club and they drive by it, they throw tomatoes and like, I hate that club. But if you ever got that invite, you'd be the first one into that club. So the Michigan man club is under attack by all the people have always been like, what's so good about that Michigan Man Club? And yes, we're having down moment, but we're still deciding the fate of the world and still have presidents and everyone's still saying it's the top five job. So you're not going to get me to backpedal on Michigan man. Do we want to attack our, our mistresses with butter knives? No, that's, that's not a Michigan man thing. That's more of an Oklahoma Barry Switzer thing.

[Rico Bosco]

If we're being honest and to your point, like the, of the, if the Michigan man thing is still strong, you if doing Beeline and the softball coach, you could re fortify that. Be like, hey, yeah.

[Dave]

So I honestly, if you're, I, I don't know where they're at with the search. Like, at one point it seemed like it was Dillingham. At one point it seemed like it's Deborah. Is it the boy? I'd be happy if you don't have any of these guys on the hook. Go get Jeff Monkin. That will end the Michigan man. This guy is the army coach. He's a great motivator. He's like stern morals and I think he's a great coach. You have to bring an offensive coordinator, obviously, but like, I just don't know how I assume something has to be going on. We can't just be sitting there being like, well, we got to figure out what's going to happen with this investigation. We like. I saw I think the president of the school give a speech the other day. Total dork. I don't trust that guy as far as I can bowl. There's just a lot going on at Michigan right now.

[Dan]

I, I, I do love these moments because you like obviously the, the stalking and Sharon going into the girl's house aside, because that part's like, that's real. Like, you know, that's a serious thing and he's been arrested, all that stuff. But everything else, you're just a pig in shit playing it up on online like the People just when you. I think it was something like you were saying, Sean Moore is not a Michigan man. He. He never went to Michigan, unlike Jeffrey Dahmer, who ate people and went to Ohio State.

[Dave]

And, like, he did go to Ohio.

[Dan]

State and he did eat people.

[Dave]

Yeah, I actually. I forgot I wore that shirt before Jeffrey Dahmer went to Ohio State. I had that made. I also. I keep.

[Dan]

I'm.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm.

[Dave]

I've said. I had like 10 different lists going. Like the. You were on it for something, Dan.

[Rico Bosco]

I forget.

[Dan]

There was a couple questions.

[Dave]

Yeah, it just like, if you're. If you're saying Michigan is something, you're on a list. If you're doing this. I'm keeping a list. I said I was going to file a class action lawsuit.

[Dan]

People were tweeting me, being like, dave's gonna sue you.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, man, that's cool. Imagine that in court. Oh, man.

[Dan]

Okay, so. All right, so that's Michigan Bosco.

[Dave]

How.

[Dan]

We're. Have we. Have we done the contract?

[Rico Bosco]

No.

[Dan]

Are we. It's almost. It's 13 days left in the year.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, he's a pretty busy guy. So, you know, I assumed it would somehow get brought up today, but I thought probably pick up the phone after the phone call or after this, pick him, if that makes sense.

[Dan]

Is it. Is it true that you texted him after the Netflix announcement and said, hey, looks like there's some more ziti for everyone?

[Rico Bosco]

That is not true.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

It's good that you.

[Dan]

That's what Jackie Tables told me. That's what Jackie Tables told me.

[Rico Bosco]

Past sins. But no, it's. Stick to the plan. It's Row Primiano. You get what you get, you don't get upset.

[Dan]

What was that?

[Rico Bosco]

My friend's mother? You get what you get. You don't get upset.

[Dan]

Ro Premiano.

[Dave]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah. And shout out Rob. And, you know, it's. Yeah, but it's. It's obviously a great thing for us. It's in a line of great things that have happened in the past couple of years. So. Yeah. Onward and upward, obviously.

[Dan]

Well said, Dave.

[Dave]

Yeah, I got a. I mean, we're getting ready to close out the year. My biggest problem before I can get to that is I gotta figure out how to look at spreadsheets if we're being honest.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Can I say the spreadsheet is a spread.

[Rico Bosco]

Spreadsheet just to me or spreadsheets in general?

[Dan]

No, no, Dave, I think I. Like. I got the same formatted spreadsheet, Chicago office. And it was. I have to like, I feel like it's 80 year old men drawing a line across.

[Dave]

Literally impossible. It is literally impossible to look at our spreadsheets. And I said that I, I wrote back. I go, I, I gotta get this spreadsheet because it's a master spreadsheet of everything with a bazillion columns and when you print it, it's for ants. And like, if you're looking on like the screen, it's the point. I, I don't know what to do. So I, I replied to like our cfr. I'm like, I need to be able to print this and be able to read it to look at it. He. It was Kim too. Our hr. They actually CFO got nervous because he replied, did you see Dave's email with a crying emoji? Like, oh, no. Yeah. And I knew he up. I didn't really care. I think it's like, because I'm an old man. Like, I can't, I don't want to look on the computer. I need it in front of me on paper. I've always been a paper guy. And he actually apologizes more. And first he lied. He's like, oh, I typed it like by accident, my pocket driving. I didn't care. It's a nothing thing. But he was rattled this morning. But yeah. So before I can get to you, Bosco, like, this is, this is like the enlarged spreadsheet.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And it's just like, so we gotta get to Bosco.

[Dan]

We gotta get to Bosco.

[Dave]

That's how people end up, like robbing the company for hundreds of millions. I can't read the spreadsheet. So someone could hack into that spreadsheet. Game over came over.

[Dan]

Bring the whole house down. Where are you saying?

[Hank]

Well, the Netflix deal, when you were negotiating it, Dave, obviously it's sports shows that are, you know, the three shows that are on there. Was, Was there any conversations about like a, you know, college football gambling show, hypothetically?

[Rico Bosco]

I think seasonal hurts us, Hank.

[Dave]

Well, I think more than that Dan being on pmt, like, I don't know that they want to double dip a Dan. Like if you look at the three shows, they're all totally unique people.

[Rico Bosco]

But no, there was much, zero talk.

[Dave]

Of the show making it right. Well, you don't have to scowl. I'm just telling you.

[Rico Bosco]

No, I like, yeah, Hank's trying to like, he's having fun.

[Hank]

I'm curious.

[Rico Bosco]

I, I knew that like that. I think there's still people out there who love like the always Dulu and this and that, like, not. I kind of know what's going on. So you are dul.

[Dan]

Okay. All right. That was Jackie.

[Rico Bosco]

You're entitled. You're entitled to your opinion.

[Dan]

How so, Jack?

[Rico Bosco]

You're entitled to your. I mean, just referencing back to last episode, a certain T shirt was worn. I think Bosco thought he was gonna get a piece of that pie when it was completely based around a certain guy in Tampa, Florida. That's pretty delicate to me.

[Dan]

That is. That's a. That's a fair point.

[Rico Bosco]

And have we made any further ground on that deal, Bosco? Jack, to be honest, that's none of your business.

[Dave]

I don't think it's really any of yours either.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay, then it's. Then it's not. You and I are two guys who have nothing to do with that deal.

[Dave]

Have you guys seen them?

[Rico Bosco]

It's not. Then it's not.

[Dave]

But when Meek Phil comes in, I don't. It's a couple weeks ago Knox, and Bosco freaks out.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Hank]

And like.

[Dave]

And he looks like he's dressed like a teenage girl. He's wearing Timberlands, but it looks like Uggs.

[Dan]

It was his new first day in Timberlands.

[Dave]

He couldn't.

[Dan]

He couldn't get the corner correct.

[Dave]

Baggy sweats.

[Dan]

Yeah. The corner fucked up his new. His new Timberland to turn.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah. All right. So are we going to. I mean, the contract will be done. Dave. Sounds like Dave's got the spreadsheet now ready to go.

[Dave]

Spreadsheet's insane. There's got to be better ways to.

[Dan]

Look at the spreadsheet.

[Hank]

Hopefully someone like, Huge is either above or below Eureko. That'd be good on the spreadsheet. Yeah. Then Dave misreads the line, and it's like, holy shit.

[Rico Bosco]

Nah, we've already had a massive. We've already had accounting errors in that. We're not going back down. That.

[Dan]

That's true.

[Rico Bosco]

We did, but.

[Dave]

Yeah, you want to come clean on that one?

[Rico Bosco]

In what sense?

[Hank]

Wait, what one?

[Dan]

So the one where this is like, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

We overpayed Bosco too much money. He knew it. Never said thank you, and then acted like I knew he was getting paid too much.

[Rico Bosco]

Don't do drugs, kids.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

So you. But did you know you were overpaid?

[Rico Bosco]

I did. I thought that the number we agreed on. You did a thing where it's like at the. At the end, when the. When the actual thing gets sent, it's something different. I did think that, but again, I was up. What?

[Dave]

You thought. You thought we agreed on Price. And I just, for the hell of it, paid you more.

[Rico Bosco]

Show is ripping, but, yeah, to. To an extent. Yeah.

[Dave]

What do you mean, to an extent?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. So in so many words.

[Dave]

Yeah, I know.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Dave]

You thought we agreed on a price after big negotiation. I paid you more without telling you.

[Rico Bosco]

Right.

[Dave]

You believe that still a little bit.

[Rico Bosco]

No, no. Back then. Yes.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Right. Yeah.

[Dan]

Out of the kindness of your heart.

[Dave]

That's a good. That is a good spin zone you can use Back then. Just back then.

[Rico Bosco]

Right.

[Dan]

Back then. Could be last week. Back then could be yesterday. Bosco, will you be attending the all company meeting on Monday?

[Rico Bosco]

I will be filming a video that is sold, but we have crafted out the period to get on the call. Yes, I know A lot of people are, you know, shout out Jackie and Rose Sparks. They get that big, hard erection for the fact that I'd be out of the office. But the video sold. That's what you're doing. So ready to go. And in fairness, we were supposed to film today and moved it off of today based on the schedule, so you got to go to Monday, and that's how we roll. So. But, okay, you got a timeline in terms of meeting Dave or.

[Dan]

No, you guys are right now with us.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

I mean, saying. I mean, the spreadsheet. Yeah.

[Dan]

You. Obviously, we could turn the cameras off and just do it right now.

[Rico Bosco]

I feel like those cameras would not be turned off.

[Dan]

You're probably right.

[Dave]

Well, I'll tell you.

[Rico Bosco]

I'll.

[Dave]

I'll tell you how the conversation will go, because this is how it goes.

[Rico Bosco]

Sure.

[Dave]

What are you thinking?

[Rico Bosco]

That's what you're gonna say?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dave]

What are you thinking?

[Dan]

What are you thinking? Percentage. No, don't say numbers. Just say.

[Dave]

All right, what are you thinking?

[Dan]

30. All right, percentage. Just say a percentage. What are you thinking?

[Dave]

All right.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I'll. I'll calculate that. We'll have the conversation on the phone.

[Dan]

Well, I mean, you got to be thinking a percentage, right? What's your percentage?

[Dave]

30.

[Dan]

Start high, start high.

[Rico Bosco]

No, that's how you get.

[Dan]

No, no, but this is. Look, right now, it's not a negotiation, so you can. This is trial balloons.

[Dave]

How do you think it went? What are you thinking? That that's how it's gonna go.

[Dan]

What do you think?

[Rico Bosco]

That's great. I'm. Yeah, I mean, you've been pretty fair. So there you go.

[Dan]

20.

[Dave]

I've been no more than fair.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes.

[Dave]

Yeah. You've eaten my insides.

[Dan]

Literally. That was a literal sentence.

[Rico Bosco]

Literal.

[Dan]

You bit his belly.

[Dave]

You attacked My stomach.

[Rico Bosco]

I did.

[Dan]

What percentage is fair? Dave?

[Dave]

I. It's for him to say.

[Dan]

Where are we gonna start? You want to start at 30?

[Rico Bosco]

Hank, could we get any part of the monologue?

[Dan]

Just like a little bit for the people, you know?

[Dave]

Okay. You know the people on the sheet? On the sheet. Alfred Martin and gay Pat. Those who separate. Rico. Who?

[Rico Bosco]

Martin. His real name's Alfred.

[Dan]

Okay, so Bosco Little.

[Rico Bosco]

The mom's on my team.

[Dan]

You know that. You know, the. The people pick them. This. This makes their dick hard. This is what they got. This is what they come in for. This is what they're tuning in for. I actually, I got. I got a. A guy I know who's a big pickham fan. Who. His name might rhyme with backs. Calente said that he. He got a text last night that there might be negotiations, and he said I. He said he got hard the minute he read that text.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. That's what the people come for.

[Dan]

Yeah. So are we going to give it to the people or. We don't have to.

[Hank]

But I. Rico, you know, I know that, you know, you've been thinking about, you know, the numbers and Jackie tables blindsiding you with those a few. Few weeks ago and how you're going to basically sell that as a good thing somehow, and that's part of your monologue. Give us that. How can you prove that you've had a good year even though the numbers might read that they're down a little bit?

[Rico Bosco]

I'd say intangibles. Yeah. Diving for loose balls, hot assists, clapping on the bench. You know, Intangibles, I would say, Hank, that's the pitch.

[Dan]

I like that pitch. You need guys who are doing that.

[Rico Bosco]

Do NBA players get paid more for clapping on the bench? I don't know.

[Dan]

He's about to, like, strangle that stress ball.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, there's like, come coming out of it. I don't know. Jack, it was a full slate of sports last night. Like, you could have got some clips.

[Dan]

Whatever.

[Rico Bosco]

I just think of her hanging our hat on the numbers being so great this year. Like a contract negotiation right now would add to the numbers and you could hang your hat.

[Dan]

That's a fact. The price could go up with the views on this show. That is a fact.

[Dave]

Do you think if you polled like Family Feud, 100 listeners of Pick them. Does Rico make more than that? Like, do you think people would guess how much does Bosco make? Do you think people, the majority be under or over what they think?

[Dan]

Under.

[Dave]

You think that they would. They. He makes More than what people think.

[Dan]

Correct. But I think that's the whole company. That's not a Bosco. That's not a Bosco specific one.

[Rico Bosco]

One. It's a great spot to be.

[Dan]

There's some, there's some salaries that would make people throw up, piss themselves, cry blood, everything. Just looking at the number and that's not. I'm not talking about Bosco.

[Hank]

No.

[Dave]

Guess somebody else. Gaz just sent me this.

[Rico Bosco]

What? My son.

[Dave]

It's not about you, okay? It's. Mincy sent it to our sales guy, Nick. What's up, Nick? I know game time is ending, but see if there's any credit still laying around for two lane Ole Miss playoff game. We'll do numbers, but no big deal. Obviously. I guess you guys are streaming in Chicago. He's not going to be there. He's going to the game. He's not going to stream.

[Dan]

And you told him to go. I was like, oh, yeah, I gotta watch it. I'll take 100 ownership of that. It was, I was sitting in my office on a Friday afternoon and he walked by and he was like, what's the plan with the streams? Like, I'll be here for everything. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I said, yeah. And then on Monday morning, I walked in the office, I was like, did I say yes to him being on every stream? And I went right to him and I said, almost too late. You got to be there. You got to fucking be there. Like that. That's amazing.

[Dave]

He's off the hook. Yeah, he's off the hook.

[Dan]

He's off the hook on that one for sure. Yeah. I mean, you need him there. That's it.

[Rico Bosco]

Will you need him there?

[Dan]

Yeah, I need him there more than anything. But that's his team versus his, you know, Summeralls, his guy at Tulane. Like, he needs, it's the Mincy Bowl. He needs to be there. How can you do the Mincy bowl without Mincy? All right, so all right. No, no negotiations. That's fine. I, I, as someone's going for rider of the year, I respect the decision. Hope it goes well. When you guys do talk, like, just.

[Dave]

So you know, possible, I'm not in, like a hurry to talk to you, so if you're expecting, like, hey, when are we sitting down? That's not happening on my end.

[Rico Bosco]

No, you're too big. Yeah, I know. I got it, but, well, all right. Yeah. Not in a hurry, but there is. Yeah. Are you looking to get it done by the end of the year?

[Dave]

What do you Mean, done. Like, if you never come to me, your checks will keep coming, right? I'm like, you're not going anywhere.

[Rico Bosco]

I knew that. There's no. Yeah, there's no woe is me. I got it. But yeah, the current deal expires the 31st. That's all. It's like, it's just a matter of. I mean, we do this every year. Like, that's all.

[Dave]

Yeah, we do it on pick them generally.

[Dan]

All right.

[Hank]

It just might stay the current deal, Rico.

[Dave]

That's, that's, that's the, that's what I'm saying.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Correct. Yeah.

[Dan]

Whereas you could do it right now and get it done. But that's, you don't have to.

[Dave]

Like, I'm not, It's not just you. I'm not like people on year to year deals, it's different with everybody. Some people like, hey, can I sit down and talk to you? They'll make no sense. We'll go on our way, they get a deal. Other people like, hey, my deal's up. I want to stay here. Good, you're good to go. If you don't say anything, checks keep coming. Same exact thing. You're just at will.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dave]

Do you not get that?

[Rico Bosco]

No, I do. Yeah, I get it.

[Dan]

Do you have a chance to maybe get more right now?

[Dave]

Like, all I'm saying is if you're.

[Hank]

Chances, we can get a multi year deal.

[Rico Bosco]

Dave, it's better to be question. Hey, it's better to be one to one, really.

[Hank]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

He's doing me a favor.

[Dan]

All right.

[Rico Bosco]

It took me a little while to realize that, but I like that.

[Dan]

Yeah, you get to negotiate every year, 100%.

[Dave]

Moscow's done everything within his power to get fired, and he's still here, so he's not going anywhere. And if Bosco Industries blows up, I know I'm going to have a henchman in my office being like, I want 98% of the profits of this show.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that's, that's not, that's not accurate. Could I ask for 98? Settle at 76.

[Dan]

But like friends and family.

[Rico Bosco]

I mean. Yeah, all right. I mean, you want it? You want it. All right.

[Dan]

Oh, you have it. Oh, yeah. You had it ready the whole time. You had it ready to go the whole time. I want that on the record for everyone's like, oh, hey, Jackie, trying to.

[Rico Bosco]

Push him to do this.

[Dave]

He came to be prepared.

[Dan]

He's the guy who's like, I never thought I'd win this award, but, oh, here's a speech I love It, Bosco, you're the best.

[Rico Bosco]

You got to be prepared.

[Dave]

Okay? All right.

[Rico Bosco]

Don Corleone, I come to you on the day of your daughter's wedding. All right, listen, I mean, you know, it's. I know everybody thinks like again like the delusional. Not everybody can get a raise. You guys are running a business that I totally understand in terms of the big time deals that cash a lot of checks around here. Nobody puts in more hours on those deals that then get those done. A while back you did say, hey, if you want more money, go fucking earn it. I think I've done everything I can to start to put myself in a position with solid content and sell stuff to get to that threshold. Obviously there's stuff that's sold this year, it hasn't. It's or into 2026. But that money's not on the books for 2025. So I get all that. Been pretty brand friendly with sponsors, trying to get things done with that move it as it goes. You look at House Call in terms of the gambling channel, a lot of those videos are pretty high viewed. It checks the box. In terms of DraftKings of, hey, we want to do touchdown scores. Check that initiative, provide good content. Pickham's obviously had a record year. Bosco Industries, I do believe we're building with that. Yeah, I mean it's a record year. Unless I quit the company like that, we're never going to replicate that. That's. That's Barry Bonds. He was on Juice. We were all on Juice.

[Dan]

Fair.

[Rico Bosco]

We'Re all on Juice. You also. I don't think people thank enough. You've set up some things with us where you provide a lot of opportunities for us to earn money as well in terms of additionally to your paycheck, which is extremely fair. You've always been pretty fair. I apologize for those years where I didn't always handle it the best. But again, I like I do want to win. I didn't go about it the best way. I'm always going to push myself every year. I'm never just going to be like, oh, I'm okay with and being content with flat I, I am going to push myself. I want to go out there and earn a fucking a million dollars. So in terms of sticking to the plan, I think I've done that. Nobody's more fair than you. If you're going to ask me for a number, I don't have a number. I have a goal. I want to earn a million dollars in 2026. That's where I'm at. So day by day, stick with the plan. I think the content's been great, and you keep it going. So in terms of numbers, like, I need this, I need that. You send me a number. I'd make a face. It is what it is. You trust the scoreboard, and it takes care of itself. I have pretty good confidence that I think you're gonna take care of itself. So that's where we're at.

[Dave]

Okay. Youy want to earn a million dollars next year. So that's what you. That, like. What do you mean? Like your paycheck to be a million dollars?

[Rico Bosco]

Without a doubt.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

I mean, and I say that and people are gonna be like, you bring.

[Dan]

You.

[Rico Bosco]

You don't have a chance to bring in a million dollars. You will get that. We can't pay bikini boys.

[Dan]

Not pay that.

[Rico Bosco]

We get that bikini boys. We get that bull.

[Dan]

That's what I, that's what I'm doing is not. It's not making. You don't want your paycheck to be a million dollars. You want to bring in a million dollars for the company you.

[Dave]

Yes.

[Rico Bosco]

And you need. And that. That million dollars is probably not going to hit next year. You need to build as you keep going. You've said all the time, sell stuff. What does this person bring in? You watch unnamed. You watch where you're at. What is this person bringing?

[Dave]

But again, you mean. You mean there's a million dollar. If Rico Bosco is not here, you're getting your. You're made a face before I say. You're saying if Rigo Bosco is not here, our net revenue would.

[Rico Bosco]

Why you.

[Dave]

Why are you making a face?

[Rico Bosco]

Are you trying to spin it negatively?

[Dan]

No. He's asking for clarification.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes.

[Dave]

If Rico Bosco is not here, our net revenue would be minus $1 million.

[Rico Bosco]

The company.

[Dave]

That's what you're saying.

[Rico Bosco]

Or it's time out. Wait. Yeah. Okay.

[Dan]

Timeout. Time out.

[Dave]

Are you saying you want your W2 to be like a million dollars? That's what I'm asking.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

In the sense that.

[Dan]

Wait, you want your W2 to be a million dollars? We're still in a timeout. Just so we know.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes.

[Dan]

We're still in the time.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes. I, I again, I think Coach. Coach speak. Okay. Like, we're gonna go out there and pummel them. We're not really gonna pummel them, Dave. Like, it's been a while since you've been in a locker room speaking in hyperbole, so to speak. Like. Yes. You keep building I get it.

[Dave]

I'm lost.

[Dan]

I'm lost.

[Hank]

We're like, when you're, when you're, when you're starting pitcher, you want to go out and throw a perfect game every game.

[Rico Bosco]

Throw a perfect game every game.

[Dan]

But if you go out and throw.

[Hank]

You know, seven shutter innings, like you're happy with that.

[Dan]

But, but just, just this one point. The million is it, is it bring in a million or make a million for yourself?

[Dave]

That's what I'm asking.

[Rico Bosco]

I'd like to bring in a million dollars.

[Dan]

Okay, that's different.

[Rico Bosco]

I would like to bring in a million.

[Dave]

Oh, so, so it's what I said. If you're, if you, I'm not saying you're leaving. Don't do this. If you're gone, we would net revenue be -1 million. Because you brought in specifically, clients are like, we need Bosco.

[Rico Bosco]

That is a thousand percent the goal. And do I think I'm going to get there by the end of 2026? Probably not. Let's be realistic. But you got to start some of that. I love that. You build and you build and you build. A million dollar earnings might be way down the road.

[Dan]

I love that.

[Dave]

But you know, I'll tell you what Dan and I is, then we're asked, wait, you want your W2 to be a million? And you're answering yes to that?

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, that was confusing. That was. I thought I was in defense mode. No, I would like to bring in a million dollars.

[Dan]

Yes.

[Rico Bosco]

That's a great start there.

[Dan]

And then, hey, guess what?

[Rico Bosco]

When you bring in a million, you're way closer to earning a million down the road.

[Dave]

So that's correct.

[Dan]

That is, that's great.

[Dave]

I love correct. And that's a great thing where you said you want to bring in for the company a million. So it got a little hairy there because you weren't understanding what we're asking.

[Dan]

We thought you were asking for a million.

[Dave]

Yes. Which I may have passed out.

[Rico Bosco]

No, man. Yeah, I know. That's, I know. Okay, boys are in the zoom. They're already tooling it with AI and Quigs.

[Dave]

You may have some bad clips coming out.

[Rico Bosco]

That's, that's fair.

[Dan]

But no, no, no, you can't clip with a time that when we're in.

[Rico Bosco]

A timeout, listen again, you get right, you get a little worked up, yell and nervous. I lost my ball. But yeah, I, I, I think that's pretty level headed.

[Dan]

I like that goal.

[Rico Bosco]

That's been the plan the entire way. And you look at how it all lays out, like taking off a wake up Barcelona after a week. Not doing that. Just keep rolling, man. Every.

[Dave]

Very hard to do that. It's very hard to do that to get to what you said. But if you get there, I would say you're almost virtually set for life in terms of not set for life. But you're going to make a lot of money at this company. If. If those need. We need the people that, like, if they leave the advertiser, like, I'm going with them. Like that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, you got to get to that. You got to get to that.

[Dave]

Yeah. It's a good speech. I don't know that it earned you a nickel next year, but it was a great speech.

[Jackie Tables]

All right.

[Dan]

I love the attitude. The attitude's great.

[Hank]

What is.

[Dave]

Is there.

[Hank]

Is there like a roadmap, Dave, or like a path, now that you've heard that of how we can. How we can work towards that? Like, he's already. He. Do you.

[Dave]

He gets credit.

[Hank]

Does he get credit for one? He gets credit for one of the hair sponsor, right? Or is that separate?

[Dave]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Hank]

How many more of those do you think he needs?

[Dave]

He needs to stack them up. Now is. The hairspots are leaving. It's a really hard thing to do. I don't know.

[Rico Bosco]

Another one close, right? Yeah, I was a piece.

[Dave]

I don't know. I mean, I. I've said this a million times, and I like, it's like a broken record. But like, dude, I consume. Call her daddy. No is like pmt. Would I be like, oh, you got to do this? No, it. What are you shaking your head? I'm saying no.

[Dan]

I don't know.

[Rico Bosco]

I already. I'm almost. I'm shaking my head knowing that you don't have to have the second of the shows, but if a check comes in from somebody.

[Dave]

No, I'm saying it's hard for me to ever give advice. How do you create more money? I don't know. Like Caleb. Caleb Presley was here for seven years without one thing to hang his hat on or however long he was here, and then Sunday conversation comes out and it's a monster. So, like, content. I've said this a million times. It's like if you're a baseball manager and you have a pitcher who. I'm not saying I'm not. This is not about Rico. But if you throw 87, you can't just be like, hey, it would really help if you threw 99 on the black. Like, it is a talent business. It's hard to tell people. And everyone's different. So I don't have the answer, Hank.

[Rico Bosco]

All right, let's take a quick break in the action and tell you about our friends at Nutrafil. Thinking of thoughtful gifts becomes tougher each year. Nutrafil makes it easy.

[Dan]

Okay, so.

[Dave]

What do you that didn't earn him an extra nickel. I got to think about it, you know, I know you said the inflation stats, which I hear now a bunch. I think he's had a good year. I think you've had a good year, Rico.

[Dan]

There we go.

[Rico Bosco]

I. Yeah, I thank you. But like, yeah, I know I have. I've been dialed the in. So that's the difference. Yes, France. You could ask Francis, you could ask Roan, you could ask. Which by the way, Don, like every day. Hey, you got an idea? Let me bounce this off.

[Dave]

Are we just gonna both keep talking? What the thing is, you should be because we're in a dream job for basically everyone, the world. So it's just we're coming so far from you being one of the worst employees the company's ever had to doing what you do, I'd expect from anybody who works here.

[Rico Bosco]

Agreed.

[Dan]

Now we're here.

[Rico Bosco]

I dialed it up. I think the last two were pretty good too. It's not like it's been. It hasn't been a coming out of horror show of like, bad, bad. And like, now all of a sudden, he gets it. It's when you guys said, you got to turn it around. I do think I've.

[Dave]

Well, that a hundred times.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, but the real one, like, like the. When I was standing on the plank and it was like, well, yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

You. You got the army vet to thank you for that every day because he. He had it. And I, I. People don't believe this. I talked him. I said, it's up to you. I will. I like him, but I would never let him back if that happened. And I won't. I. I will respect this decision. There's no way he's working here. If you have even an inch of a problem with them is like, nope, give him another chance every day.

[Dan]

Okay, so then Dave was going to just send you what. What the bump is because you heard the speech.

[Dave]

I heard the speech.

[Dan]

Okay, good.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That's great.

[Rico Bosco]

Did you have. Did you have the other thing, the last note on there? Did you have two minutes after we finished this in terms of ideas for 2026?

[Dave]

No, I can do it later, but I'm driving to Miami for the Jake Paul Joshua fight right after this.

[Rico Bosco]

All right, no sweat.

[Dave]

But I. I'm happy to do it next week.

[Rico Bosco]

Great. Yeah, that's. That's all it is. It's one of those things where, like, you need. It's a lot of it. You need Dave's approval. Like, I got. I got this. I got that.

[Dave]

Like, so I don't think you do need my approval for a lot of it, but we'll. We'll see what it is.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It. Yeah, I got it. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Like, unless you're having some big budget project, what do you need my approval for?

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dave]

Right.

[Rico Bosco]

It won't be big budget. Definitely not.

[Dave]

What do you need my approval for?

[Rico Bosco]

You're one of the best content guys in the business. Maybe I said, like, again, it's only a two minute conversation, but I say something, you might say, well, I kind of like that. But fine tune this.

[Dave]

It's so advice.

[Rico Bosco]

Two guys. Two guys stand around the sauce pot like, yeah. Little garlic, little onion.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Hank]

What?

[Rico Bosco]

What?

[Hank]

If you could have two of the best content guys in the business help you right now, I'd help you.

[Dave]

Oh, it's a conversation.

[Dan]

I'd always help you.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I just.

[Dan]

You do have us right now.

[Hank]

Come on.

[Dan]

Because after this, I also.

[Dave]

And it's promo.

[Hank]

If it's a good idea and they like it, then it's like the people will listen to it and then they'll. It's. It's good. It's good. Good promo.

[Rico Bosco]

I guess it's actually a good point, Hank, because if it's also bad, they just shut it down. And then you just think of the next two, and then in a month.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

So. All right. Yeah, I got two off the top of my head.

[Dan]

Let's go.

[Rico Bosco]

Both video series.

[Dave]

Yep. All right.

[Rico Bosco]

You went to that high school game in Ohio that they moved to Cincinnati. Correct. It seemed like the two fan bases were very heated. Story different like that. Eddie put something up of a high school game in Chicago. He said they truthfully, truthfully hate each other. Everybody has done documentaries on the Celtics, Lakers. Everybody's dove into Ohio State, Michigan, Red Sox, Yankees. Like, we've all done that. Sports is a massive, massive field out there in terms of market finding. Finding these fucking stories. In Tennessee. Well, now you build towards Tennessee, but locally, Bosco Bergen football is. Is. That's only a car ride. You start there. Their football teams have been broadcast on espn. Those games are crazy.

[Dave]

My college roommate played at Bosco.

[Rico Bosco]

Yep.

[Hank]

And.

[Rico Bosco]

And building and finding somebody down the road where in Tennessee, two high schools, one guy lit another guy's fucking fence on fire because they hate each other. The mailman won't deliver over there. A barstool spin on a documentary.

[Dave]

That's true. A mailman won't deliver.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm just saying. I'm throwing it out there. I'd love to find the guy. Imagine that interview. That'd be fucking electric. Like, I'd love to go into that. We all love it, like, every story, Dan. I mean, what's the clip that's floating around right now? The Georgia kid won't sing Rocky top. Yeah. Christmas show. Like, all this is why we love it. I hate these guys. I'd love to build towards those things where you're going to South Dakota and you're going here. Or weird triper type of traditions with stuff like that. But a documentary, barstool spin type of style on, like, true, true rivalries. Hey, they've been playing for 100 years. There's a weird trophy, something like that. Would love to get that going now. It's a little diff. It's down the line because I think football and basketball obviously move the needle the most. So that could be the end of 20, 26. But I'll tell you what, I'll knock on doors and find two softball teams in a rec league that fucking hate each other. And the cops got to get called to that. Like you just, you start and you figure it out and you fucking knock on doors. So like that's the first idea in.

[Dan]

Terms of that.

[Dave]

Knee jerk.

[Rico Bosco]

Yep.

[Dan]

I have a New York as well.

[Dave]

I saw something like this. I would probably watch it and find it very interesting. I do not think you slash we are capable, or I should say the return on investment would be nearly worth it. We've kind of gone down the dark side before. We did some good ones. They're not the easiest things to sell. They're pretty expensive. Now if you can get this in a Internet format where you're doing it quickly and it comes across and you don't need a lot of resources, maybe. I think it's really hard.

[Rico Bosco]

I wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't. I think full, full blown doc is not necessary. Yeah.

[Dave]

So how long is this like a doc talk?

[Dan]

Yeah. So that tick tock docs, that's. That was my, my thing is like the actual video what you're talking about? It sounds interesting. I like the idea. The execution is very difficult. Like putting together a documentary is not an easy thing to do. You have to get hours and hours of footage. And that hours and hours of footage will give you like one minute of content. And so doing that is not. It's just not easy.

[Dave]

Documentaries cost. And again, can you do it man on the street style, mate. But it's like really, really like we paid a lot of money when we did those docs to third party people.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, like a tick tock doc. I mean, Jake's sitting in here like neat. If you, instead of sitting down and setting up the lights and like that, if you went into the tap, you go to fucking, I don't know, Roswell, New Jersey and the two teams and you're just walking and talking with the guy.

[Dan]

A little gorilla style thing.

[Rico Bosco]

But he's mic'd up. Is that way easier to execute?

[Dan]

Can I throw out an idea?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, sure.

[Dan]

Okay. So I think that the key to this whole thing is to find the crazy guy, right? The mailman who doesn't deliver. The guy who goes to every high school game. You find the crazy guy. You have him on Jerry and Terry and then you go to a game with him. And it's social clips when you go to the game. That's that feels like it would be a quicker, easier way to get people invested. And then, you know, obviously you could get bigger than that, but that's something that's a little bit lower barrier to entry that you can accomplish with a low budget. And see where, you know, I mean, if you do five, six of those and everyone's like, well, that was incredible because like, Eddie does something similar where he has, you know, on the dog walk, he has people come in all walks of life and he interviews him. Weird characters. That is great. Weird characters are great, right?

[Rico Bosco]

No, yeah, Eddie. Eddie's video kind of inspired it. He put that height. He's like, these guys hate each other in this high school basketball game. Like they fucking hate each other. So I'm like, I'm in. Like, I, I'm in on that. So figuring out how to do that.

[Dave]

So.

[Dan]

Okay, all right.

[Rico Bosco]

And then similar kind of off of the same type of thing. I mean, listen, we're in the gambling cave all the time. Streaming's type of huge. The same thing kind of with fan, crazy, fanatic type people, you know, like going to their, like the, the. The license plate guy for the Giants, like, what does his house look like? Like going in there and he's got 6 million collectibles and like adding up like, again, like a vlog, typos type of thing. Yeah, I spent this much money on collectibles and oh, this is a rare type thing. Like diving into people's kind of caves or like fandom, the story of their fandom. A day to day, so to speak, of how nuts they are in front of the tv. The fan cave type thing. Again, social clips build to a series, if that. Whatever those are the first two off the bat. I'm going to have 10 more in a month. That's how I'm dialed. But yeah, it's. Those are the first two off the bat.

[Dan]

So.

[Dave]

My knee jerk. Again, both these things almost sound like directorial type things, which I do not think is your strong suit.

[Hank]

Sounds like 60 minutes.

[Dan]

You're a documentarian.

[Dave]

Like, you're. You're not. I don't see you in the director's chair with something like this. I. I think the ideas, again, if I've seen the license plate guy, I think people have done him. The idea is certainly like, if I came across this on social media and it's like you swipe right, you see it. Like, I saw one on Eminem versus, like Suge Knight the other day. It sucked me in and I'm watching it. This does not Seem like your strong suit, but because it really doesn't involve you to be totally on it. Like what you're talking about is a faceless to degree. It's really like you're not even on camera. To me, it's all about the other person.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean you would be mixing it up with them, so to speak. But. But I thought it's. Yeah. Okay.

[Dan]

Both of these, especially the second one. The second one you could just go do. Just try it.

[Dave]

Right. You know, I also think they're like a lot harder than. Easier said than done. Like we've. We've thought of this type stuff multiple times. It's just hard to accomplish.

[Dan]

Yeah, but they're good ideas are just. Yeah, they're the. The lift is a very difficult.

[Hank]

But yes.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Try license plate guy. Go visit him. Yeah, take a camera. Go visit him.

[Dave]

Like weirdly, Dan has done the best one of this ilk of. With like Detroit dawn and super fan.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Like.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And that wasn't like. That wasn't a documentary. That was literally me just figuring out where they, where they sit and just buying a ticket next to him.

[Rico Bosco]

Right? Yeah. I mean, day in the life. Yeah, I agree.

[Dan]

But yeah, so that's also what you do. Just fucking go and sit next to one of these guys, find the craziest St. John's fan and go sit next to him for a game. That's it. Like, that's a video.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That doesn't have to be a documentary. That's just a video right there. I like the ideas though. You're married.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm absolutely not.

[Dave]

I don't think he's mad.

[Dan]

Okay. I just, I'm. I'm just basing off the stress ball. When the stress ball gets moving.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I will get back to the games in a second. But let me tell you about our friends at Aura Frames.

You know what I mean? Like I, yeah all right. You're saying be the center of it. All right.

[Dave]

I'm not saying B, I'm saying that's not want to be a center. I don't know what listen, I've matured. I'm not going to try to push buttons so I'm not going to say what I'm going to say.

[Rico Bosco]

Go ahead, push the button.

[Dan]

What were you going to say?

[Rico Bosco]

I don't know.

[Dave]

That you're a leading man.

[Dan]

Come on. I felt like a button.

[Dave]

I know. Listen, there's certainly value you're great in our dynamic that we've had for 30 years or whatever 16 presidencies. When you're with me getting your buttons pushed, I can't turn away when you're the leading man, I fall asleep. I don't know how to fix though.

[Rico Bosco]

Made it about 59 minutes. All right.

[Dan]

I don't think that's a bad thing what he said Bosco.

[Dave]

I, I, I, I, I don't know.

[Dan]

There are some things I'm not a leading man either.

[Hank]

It's not a bad thing.

[Dan]

Are not great at like it's just, it's not a bad thing. He's saying that you will have like.

[Dave]

Your interaction with us make all of our interactions better. But it seems like when you're outside the traditional Bosco which is real like your best value is always in our, in the interplay in office and things like I, I don't know when I see Bosco Industries healthy debates I, I press the snooze button. I wish I didn't like because again and I'm not the ultimate Jake, hit.

[Rico Bosco]

The volume so it doesn't Go off.

[Dave]

I'm not the ultimate arbitrator of what's great. I've already said that. There's things here that have been wildly successful that aren't necessarily my cup of tea. So that doesn't mean. It's just from me seeing it. The Internet. I've said this to you a million times. The beauty of the Internet is it tells. It tells the truth.

[Dan]

But, Bosco, this isn't a bad thing. Because it's kind of like what you're saying with like. Like the crazy fan thing. That video, like, you can go make that. You don't have to be the leading man. It's about the crazy fan. You know what I mean?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, no, yeah, no, I get it.

[Dan]

So it's not a bad thing that he's saying.

[Dave]

I just don't know. He's a director.

[Dan]

Yeah, that part. That's hard. I can't.

[Rico Bosco]

I wasn't that trying to be a director. But. Yeah, okay.

[Hank]

All right.

[Dave]

But you get, like, your best moments are within the office interplay.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, agreed. But the office, like, interplay is not at all times. And you're trying to build things to be sold. Now it's. You said you haven't watched a second of it, but it also puts the Boston industries contradictory, so.

[Dave]

But also industries. No, I have watched a second or two of it. I've tried.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dan]

That's why you should move here. This office is buzzing.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dan]

You and Jerry. You and Jerry. The. By the way, the touchdown. That video that you do on gambling every week. I want to be a guest. That. That. That's a great. I tune into that. It's fucking awesome.

[Dave]

I mean, maybe it is you and Jerry.

[Rico Bosco]

I don't know.

[Dave]

Maybe it's you, Jerry and Meek.

[Dan]

You guys are. You and Jerry are great together on that. Like, that's a great. I watched that as a fan. Oh, my God. Look at the stress ball. The stress ball has gone.

[Dave]

I don't think I've said anything unfair, like. Hank, do you agree with everything I've said?

[Hank]

Yeah, I mean, I think, like, I think Rico gets more upset at hearing the leading man thing, but I think I'm one of them. I think there's a lot of people that aren't. Like, there's few leading men at this company.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I would say the same thing about Jerry. Jerry is very. I think Jerry's very talented. And, you know, obviously, there's the. The. After he quit, Jerry, after dark, there was a stretch where he wasn't doing a lot. He does a lot now. And I think Jerry's a great ensemble guy in the mix. Like, he, he adds funny things, his reactions, all that stuff.

[Rico Bosco]

It.

[Dan]

And I think Jerry would agree.

[Dave]

I mean, it's hard. It's sort of the throw 99 analogy. It's like, I'd love for it to be the case.

[Rico Bosco]

The.

[Dave]

Who doesn't want. That's what we're trying to do. But it. I haven't seen it yet, but you're. You maybe have one of the biggest disparities between, like, must watch when you're interacting and then like, snooze button when you're not for me.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Dave]

Doesn't mean, by the way, I straight. I say this every time. It doesn't mean I'm right. And I'd love to be proved wrong, but if you're asking for my honest opinion, that's what it is.

[Dan]

Hey, we got things to work towards. I like, I like. I like your drive, Bosco. And I'm happy to talk to you, talk you through some of these ideas as well. Anytime.

[Dave]

Like, are you ever going to be the three hitters?

[Rico Bosco]

No.

[Dave]

Are you ever going to be a cleanup hitter? No. You know, could you be the 9 hitter? That's. The coach says, hey, you're really leadoff. You're our second leadoff guy. Maybe.

[Hank]

But being a nine hitter on a, On a World Series contending team.

[Dan]

Right. And like, I, I'll say it, if you left, I would be heartbroken. You add a lot to everything that goes on here. So it's like the, the. The. It might not be in the. The numbers or leading man videos, but like, you are an integral part to Barstool in my mind.

[Dave]

Right.

[Rico Bosco]

So what's a good. What's. What's a good. What's a good average in terms of a YouTube series, then in terms of.

[Hank]

Numbers, I think, I think 100k plus, like that. That starts moving needles. I think obviously, like, like every video 50k is. Is solid. I think once you get into the like 100k plus every episode, you're like, oh, this is. There's money, there's, you know, and how many people are.

[Rico Bosco]

How many brands are at 100k every single episode? Or what's more the average?

[Hank]

Not a lot, but that's the thing. It's like, it. You have to do really well to, to get to that level where it's.

[Dave]

Like saying Bosco Industries is all. You're not. Dave.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm asking like, this.

[Hank]

No 100k like, views.

[Dave]

I thought you said instruction.

[Rico Bosco]

Like.

[Dave]

Yeah, I thought you said, I thought he answered it was I'm conf. That's what I thought he said.

[Rico Bosco]

No, no, I'm asking constructive questions.

[Hank]

No, he was saying, like, what, you know, when do shows, like, get viewed as being big shows?

[Dave]

Yeah, it's consistency and, and, and a.

[Rico Bosco]

Lot of clips too now. Like clips got to go crazy too. So. Yeah.

[Dan]

Okay. All right. Should we talk football, by the way? We should. Dave, Netflix deal. Did you. What has the reaction been for you on your side?

[Dave]

Good. I mean, I've obviously had some people be like the sellout part of it. I say this and I sent it to the PMT guys who I think were debating it internally. And I sent. To me, it was the biggest no brainer deal that I've seen cross our desk. And like, to me it was the easiest decision to make. Sucks for the few people who don't have Netflix, which I didn't even know those people existed. But a great deal, great deal for us. Very happy about it. And I think it'll. Time will tell, increase audience as opposed to take away from audience.

[Dan]

Yeah, I agree with that. I think it's always tough whenever we make a change. And I understand the people that are upset. Like those are, you know, people don't have Netflix that it's hard to change people's rhythm and what they do. But I think that this is like one of those ones where it's like, hey, I get it, you're upset. Can you give us. We've built up enough equity. Can you give us at least a chance to, to try to get this?

[Dave]

Yeah. And I tweeted to the wrong guy, but it's like, give me a break. Like, first of all, we've always been a for profit business. This is. People have gone to Spotify, Rogan left, Cooper left, like, and went to Spotify. People go to different areas. Netflix, like, we've. And I said that to Dan on text. We tried to get on hbo, we tried to get on Netflix years ago and we're told this isn't like some change. And by the way, we probably would have fucking paid to be on those. On those channels. Now they're paying us. It was an absolute no brainer. Not to mention the fact we have a lot of audio mostly. So yeah, I get people complaining. The Internet definitely seems like an echo chamber from my perspective. We have people who always are trying to make more money. We need to make money. It's like, that's the world. So just an absolute no brainer, great deal. And I'm excited About it.

[Dan]

Yeah. And the audio part. Like, we.

[Dave]

We.

[Dan]

I think it would be a different calculation if we were only video. Where there are some podcasts like we built.

[Rico Bosco]

We.

[Dan]

We built. Pardon my take as a podcast. 80% of our audience. We look at the numbers every day. 80% of our audience is audio only. And it does suck for the few, but I think you can trust that.

[Dave]

Who the fuck doesn't have Netflix?

[Hank]

I also think when you have something that's like if you, you know, if you. I listen to this thing, it's free for me to listen to or watch. And then it goes behind a paywall. That's upsetting. You can still consume part of my take for free.

[Dan]

Correct.

[Hank]

If you watch it on, you know, your laptop at work, there's desktop websites where you can listen to it and if you're at work, you're listening in the background anyway, so. And that part of it, I think people are super overdramatic.

[Dan]

Where it's still free.

[Dave]

And what. And what do we like?

[Rico Bosco]

Yes.

[Dave]

It's the odd this that are acting like it's some crazy every. The NFL is on 13 different. Everybody's. We're going to be the only ones in the world who are like, no thanks. We're just going to keep. We will turn down all this money to go to again. I don't even. I know it's crazy and I know it's a paywall. I don't even consider Netflix a paywall. That's how like accepted I view Netflix.

[Dan]

And if it was. And honestly, like when we were talking about it, Dave, like we said, I said like, if this were another streaming service, it would have been a hard. No. But Netflix is the one streaming service that I feel like is so ingrained in everyone. And the same part, the part that I didn't explain well when we did it on. When we talked about on Wednesday, is people envision Netflix as it is right now. Netflix is building out an entire interface for video podcasts. Will it be a little bumpy? I'm sure because everything is. But I. And we're a big central part of it. Like, we're going to be featured on it. We're going to be like a big tent pole of what they're building. I think that.

[Dave]

And you guys are fucking so established. It's like, yes, you're people like, oh, you're not going to grow. The growing. You guys continue to grow, but it's infantile and you can't because you're so big. Like biz is fucking texting me every day. He's like, I want all my content on Netflix. 90 million subscribers that will see sandbaggers everything like it. This was a win. When I get a few people and you're always going to get complaints. But biggest no brainer in the history of earth for us, deal wise. I really believe that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And we also thought about it hard like that it wasn't a.

[Dave]

Yes you did.

[Dan]

It wasn't a flippant. Like, oh yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Like we.

[Dan]

Dave brought it to us and we. It took us a while to be like, all right, let's talk through everything. Like, we're not, we're not just like throwing all the fans aside being like, oh yeah, well fuck it, we'll just get more money. It's like, we thought about this. It was a long.

[Dave]

And what would they said when we're trying to get the rundown on HBO like five years ago, six, 10 years ago, where they. People gone nuts. To me it's always like, Erica, I told you that Erica texted me once you saw the deal. She's like, 2017. Erica would have murdered for this deal. Like, it's not like we. We've been trying to get deals and partners. That's how you grow.

[Dan]

Yeah. All right, well, I'm excited. So. Yeah, we'll have more details. And I think also the, the one part that that sucks. It's unavoidable is like we always hate having to announce something and then the weight. You know what I mean? Like it would be that. And that sucks because people can't vision it once it happens again. Trust us that it's going to work. And if it doesn't work, which I, I don't expect it to not work, I'll be the first person to say it didn't work. But I, I think it's going to be a home run. I really do agree. Be massive. Okay, let's do picks.

[Rico Bosco]

One last thing. David.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

What was the headphone controversy? Which way are you trying to spin.

[Dan]

This thing was a headphone controversy?

[Dave]

I thought it was a re. Gift.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah.

[Dave]

It was not. I mean you. It was just such a crazy gift to give the inside man. Like just. It was a very nice gift.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

It's not a regift. I mean, you saw that in five.

[Dave]

I saw the receipt. Yeah. I thought it was a regift. It was just so out of left field. Like what, what made you think of that? I.

[Rico Bosco]

You never miss an episode of Pick him in that sense. You'd always listen to it. But also I like, getting stuff that I necessarily like, need or is like, like a expensive, so to speak. But it's like, I don't know if.

[Dave]

I want to justify that.

[Rico Bosco]

That's how I like to receive.

[Dave]

This made no sense. That was one of the.

[Rico Bosco]

All right. Like, I need a really. I need a really nice pair of sneak or like a nice pair of sneakers or headphones.

[Dave]

You buy gifts for people for what.

[Rico Bosco]

You want, so to speak.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

It's like, I look at that, you walk the aisle, you're like, I really could use those. I've been looking at that. Like, I really want those. And it's like, well, I don't know if I want to spend that much.

[Dave]

So.

[Rico Bosco]

What?

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

What did you say?

[Dave]

I said she appreciated it.

[Rico Bosco]

Love it.

[Hank]

What are you talking.

[Dan]

The gift.

[Dave]

[Rico Bosco]

[Dan]

All right, so here's what we have. We have the Bulls. I gotta say, guys, I. The Bulls.

[Dave]

I can't get into this too much because I do have to leave. Yeah, but I did get a text. Not sure you want to push the buttons, but his second pitch about going to die hard. Fans houses and investigating their traditions and game day rituals is basically word for word a series. Roan already did.

[Dan]

I was gonna say Roan did it. I remember the Buffalo Bills guys when he got him to. To miss the kick.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay. I, I okay. Who's that text? Who's that text?

[Dan]

Who's that text from?

[Rico Bosco]

Who's that text?

[Dan]

Who's that text from?

[Rico Bosco]

Just give a name.

[Dan]

Who's that text from?

[Rico Bosco]

I've been pretty well behaved.

[Dan]

Who's that text from?

[Dave]

Well, you're squeezing the thing. I don't want. Ah, they. Then they won't send me. Sort like the FBI doesn't give out their sources. Then they burn the source.

[Hank]

Is it someone that sent it to gas? And gas texted you, or someone just texted you directly?

[Dave]

Listen, I'm re watching Homeland right now. One of my favorite shows. I'm midway through season two. I don't remember what happened. You can't burn your sources.

[Dan]

Yeah. By the way, Dave, I got one. I got one for you.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, no, probably. There's somebody's. There's a probably. There's probably spies in the control room. We should have locked that off like Area 51. Yeah, whatever. So I, I think.

[Hank]

Who's in the room with you, Rico?

[Rico Bosco]

Just Jake. Pass. He wouldn't turn around. I know who it is.

[Dave]

It is what it is.

[Rico Bosco]

I have a good guess who. Go Celtics. That's all I'll say, Greenie. Go Celtics.

[Dan]

It's gas.

[Dave]

Go Celtics. Yeah, gas. Playoff poly.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, playoff poly.

[Dan]

By the way, speaking of Bama, we might have our. We might have our first intern of the 2026 summer.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Did that come through?

[Dan]

Maybe.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dan]

Maybe.

[Dave]

OT.

[Dan]

No, I don't want to say who.

[Rico Bosco]

What are you laughing at?

[Dan]

But we might have an insertion.

[Dave]

Yeah. All right.

[Dan]

Okay. College football playoffs. Are you guys.

[Dave]

Did you know that that idea was already done?

[Rico Bosco]

No, I didn't.

[Dan]

I was. When he was saying it, I was, I was a Matt.

[Rico Bosco]

I was queue up the bikini boys.

[Dan]

Like, look, I was envisioning Roan because I remember it was such a funny clip of Roan with the Bills guys who thought they could impact field goals and they would blow against the TV and they would get.

[Dave]

They would.

[Hank]

Concussion protocol.

[Dan]

They would push guys. Yeah, they would push guys like left and right. It was so good. Oh, this is.

[Dave]

I mean, he did this years ago.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay. We, We've put out a lot of.

[Dan]

It was for, it was for. For pro football show, cuz. Yeah, he did. Yeah, you know what he did? He. I think he went to license plate guy.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay. Yeah, it's, it's. We've put out a lot of content, so.

[Dave]

Yeah. And we did say it's not reinventing the wheel.

[Dan]

No.

[Rico Bosco]

So right.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

The.

[Dan]

Let's see. I can't get into bowl games that aren't the playoffs. It sucks. They've ruined it. I don't know who's playing so I have playoff picks and I don't have anything else. Maybe add some. Let's do the playoffs. Alabama to Oklahoma. Alabama is a one and a half point dog over under forty one and a half. What do you guys got in there? This game Rico.

[Rico Bosco]

I like Oklahoma and I like the over. I know that's going to hurt the people obviously in Tuscaloosa but I think the defense I the numbers a little low here. Obviously 41 defense but I'll take the. Take the over.

[Dave]

I can hope they can overlook this.

[Rico Bosco]

What I sure do too.

[Dave]

You should go watch game with Roll Tide Willie.

[Hank]

There's.

[Dave]

There's one of your fans. I like Oklahoma but when I say like that's a gun to the head. I don't like this game at all.

[Dan]

Yeah, I'm going to take Oklahoma but I hate this game. I hate this game. Okay, next game. Miami Tech. A and Miami's plus three and a half over under 48 and a half. That over and under has come down big time Dave.

[Dave]

I wish this was under 3 because for some reason I thought it was close to one or two when it opened and I loved A and M and I. I know this is like threading the needle because I really expect A and M to win this game but it would not shock me if it came into the wire. I'll take A and M. This is a bet game for me. Three and a hook make me a little nervous especially overtime which I could see. I think it's gonna be. I just think A and M is going to win the game.

[Dan]

Okay. I like the over 48 and a half and I'm going to take Texas A and M plus or sorry Miami plus three and a half because I do think it's going to be a tight game. Bosco.

[Rico Bosco]

I'll take Miami. I. I think it's gonna be close. I think they could win it. A and M could also be a schedule merchant in the sack. They played bad teams in the SEC and the only team they played with a pulse was Texas. They lose. I'm gonna go with Miami here to, to. To take it.

[Dan]

Okay, next game. The Mincy bowl two lane Ole Miss. Ole Miss is minus 17 and a half over under 56 and a half. I'll start. I'm gonna take Ole Miss. I think they're gonna walk.

[Dave]

Walk.

[Dan]

I think they're going to absolutely kill them.

[Dave]

Yeah, I have a double pick here. I'm just going to go Ole Miss, Oregon. This is like old, like NCAA basketball. Take all the one seeds and you're at worst probably going two and two. Like I just don't see any way both these teams, like don't cover end up in close games. One of them will and I think you have a chance, maybe both. So it's a double. I'm already giving my second pick because it need the logic. But I'm going to Ole Miss and Oregon.

[Dan]

Okay. Rico.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I like Ole Miss here minus the 17 and a half. I really do.

[Dave]

I will say the line moving is a little odd to me, but open at like 20 or 21.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. So you, you like level attack, level of talent. I think the Ole Miss guys are a little pissed off they still got the offensive coordinator. I'm going with Ole Miss.

[Dan]

Okay. Last game. So Dave, you already got Oregon. I'm gonna take James Madison +21 just as a friendship bet with, with PFT. I'm a root for him. Bosco.

[Rico Bosco]

I got the Duckies again, like level of talent. I just think it's a different, different element.

[Dan]

Do you guys have any? Do you have Immortal? And we're gonna do one more. Pick them. The pick them finale will be after the new year. We'll do for the college football semifinals. That'll be the pick.

[Dave]

Yeah. Let me whip through my card.

[Hank]

Okay.

[Dan]

Yeah, go through your card. I, I, I, I, I could be honest. I don't know how much like bowl season is just kind of.

[Dave]

Yeah, yeah, same zapped it out of me.

[Dave]

Kennesaw State plus three and a half.

[Dan]

Yeah, he can for sure.

[Dave]

The Barbershop still talking about this team year for them. Yeah, Barbershops.

[Rico Bosco]

That was Wake Forest.

[Dave]

No, I know, but they played Kennesaw Fair. Louisville minus 6. Toledo, Ohio plus 6 1/2 against UNLV. Northwestern minus 10 1/2 against somebody.

[Rico Bosco]

Who was the team?

[Dave]

Central Michigan, maybe They're playing Northwestern.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Central Minnesota minus two and a half against New Mexico. Penn State plus three and a half against Clemson. At this point in my picks, I'm like, wow, I'm just taking a lot. Big Ten teams. Georgia Tech plus five and a half against Provo. Dave. I think BYU wins that game, but I think it's close. Illinois, Tennessee over 61 and a half. Duke, Arizona State over 49 and a half. Cincinnati plus six and a half against Navy. There you go.

[Dan]

Okay, so my mortal, I. I will add. I will try to put out a full card. I. I just don't know how many I'm gonna play, but my mortal is actually opposite of that one. Dave, I'm gonna take Navy minus six and a half. I just like. I like military schools and bowl games. Guys don't want to be there and. And then you're. You're running.

[Rico Bosco]

You know, more importantly that nobody wants to play against the option.

[Dan]

Right?

[Rico Bosco]

Right. Who wants to get cut block for three hours, Right?

[Dan]

All right. Bosco, you got a mortal or a card?

[Rico Bosco]

I got both of them. Yeah. I locked this in immediately. I already liked it and then I loved it the minute they announced that this is going to be his last game out in Utah. I think Utah's gonna crush Nebraska.

[Dan]

What's those spreads?

[Rico Bosco]

Sixteen and a half. It is very, very big.

[Dan]

All right, I'll add that to my card.

[Rico Bosco]

I think they're gonna crush them. Arc State plus one and a half tonight. Kennesaw State plus three. And I got a lot of favorites, which I hate, too, but NC State minus four and a half. Oklahoma plus the points and the over. Miami plus the three and a half. Ole Miss, Oregon, Utah State minus one and a half over Toledo, Louisville plus 45 and a half. I gotta make a run at Pat Hill. UNLV minus the six and a half.

[Dan]

Love this.

[Rico Bosco]

And the over 65 and a half. Fade the Mac. Hawaii on Christmas Eve in Hawaii. Central Michigan, Northwestern under 43 and a half. Minnesota minus two and a half. UTSA minus seven and a half. PIT, ECU over 57 and a half. State, Penn, Clemson under 48 and a half. For all the people asking, my uncle has retired from the Pinstripe bowl.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

Did not get a team. So that streaky, he left undefeated. BYU -4 and a half. San Diego State - the 3. Virginia, Missouri over 47 and a half. App State. Georgia Southern under Coastal Carolina. Louisiana Tech under usc. TCU over Vandy in the over Arizona State plus and the over Texas minus seven and a half. Michigan, I don't know what's going on there. Utah, we touched on Navy and wake and Arizona. SMU over 51 and a.

[Hank]

Half. If Rico can win Pat Hill, he deserves it. Yeah, at least.

[Dan]

Five. He just unloaded a.

[Hank]

Clip. That's got to be 5%.

[Rico Bosco]

Dave. Listen, Hank, you get what you get where you're entitled to. Honestly, you get what you get. You.

[Dave]

Get. I will get. I will lock in 10 if he wins the.

[Rico Bosco]

Pack.

[Dan]

Wow.

[Dave]

Rico, my mortal is Iowa plus four and a half against.

[Dan]

Vandy. Rico's. It's 10. Not.

[Rico Bosco]

Enough. I had a question that I don't think I should.

[Dan]

Ask. You got to ask it.

[Dave]

Now. Is that what that.

[Hank]

Wasn'T. I don't think that was a negotiat. That was just a.

[Rico Bosco]

Factory. No, it's just a.

[Dan]

Three. I'll count.

[Rico Bosco]

[Dan]

Two. Two.

[Dave]

One. Is that on top of the.

[Dan]

Raise? Did you ask for a million.

[Dave]

Dollar salary, which you haven't been given. I just heard Meek say.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes. For a million dollars. You gotta tell.

[Dan]

You. That's a clarification. Is that.

[Rico Bosco]

Telling. You gotta stop. Is that telling you it hasn't been granted a raise for your own.

[Dan]

Safety? Is it on top of the.

[Dave]

10?

[Rico Bosco]

Correct. For your own safety.

[Dave]

Stuff? Wait, what is.

[Dan]

That? That was a threat to.

Safety. For his own safety. He's gotta.

[Dave]

Get. What does that mean? For your own.

[Dan]

Safety? Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. He doesn't like yelling, so it's safe. Safety of.

[Dave]

Yelling. Meek doesn't like.

[Dan]

Yelling. That's a great spin.

[Rico Bosco]

Zone. It spins on pretty good on the spin zones today. Yeah, that was the question.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Right. And again we. You. We've. We'll see how it all shakes.
