- [02:07]
B
No.
- [02:09]
C
Okay.
- [02:10]
A
Did you ever reach out to him? No, that was the. You're supposed to.
- [02:16]
B
He never reached out.
- [02:17]
A
Yeah, remember he. Dave said, he's like, if you don't call, I'm not going to do anything.
- [02:21]
B
Correct. And I didn't do anything.
- [02:26]
A
All right.
- [02:27]
C
I also respected. You were pretty busy and.
- [02:29]
B
No, no, it was actually like, I haven't traveled since mid December. It's actually the. So. Because I know you forget generally, like, I don't celebrate Christmas, so it was a very. It's the first time I could relax in a bit. Now I'm back in the grind. Like, I'm traveling. Are you going to. Is there his birthday party?
- [02:51]
C
No, I can't make it.
- [02:54]
B
What? Why? What do you got?
- [02:56]
C
We couldn't swing that weekend. And then we have a wet. As it turns out, my wife has two girls who are having an engagement party.
- [03:04]
B
And you're going to an engagement party.
- [03:07]
C
For the one night? Yeah. We couldn't get my people to watch my roommates for three straight nights. So, yeah, there was. It. It's heartbreaking, but we couldn't make it work.
- [03:16]
A
Isn't that the birthday party you said you were gonna destroy?
- [03:19]
C
Yes. Yes.
- [03:19]
A
In a.
- [03:20]
C
In a fit of rage, As a joke. Yes. Yeah.
- [03:22]
A
So is that. Is it partially, like, you don't want to be seen there?
- [03:25]
C
No. Like, no.
- [03:26]
A
When the sprinklers come on at the.
- [03:28]
B
No. It. Say it again. Why can't you go?
- [03:33]
C
It's difficult to get somebody to watch your roommates for three days.
- [03:37]
B
That's code for babysitter a little bit.
- [03:39]
A
Yeah.
- [03:40]
B
So you can't get a babysitter for.
- [03:42]
C
What it would be leaving on Friday, back Monday. I mean, it's over the weekend. Reached out a couple months ago. The people that usually help us out, they got stuff going on, surgeries.
- [03:52]
B
You had two months to find a babysitter. Couldn't do it.
- [03:55]
C
We couldn't make it work.
- [03:55]
A
Yeah.
- [03:56]
C
No, you listen. You can't go to everything. You can't go to everything. Like, what are you. This is leisure. Like, you can't go to everything. Yeah, I would like to go. You can't go to everything.
- [04:03]
B
I think I'm. I'm going to be out then, because I was feeling guilty, and I have so much going on, and I don't want to go, but I know he really wants people go. I thought it's like, oh, boss, I may not go now. No one's going.
- [04:16]
A
Well, Dave, you got to also, like, if Boston's not going, like I said, there might be some. Some malfeasance plans.
- [04:22]
C
No, there's no malfeasance. Hold on. Getting back to the thing I read. I read the whole receipt, and it was basically like, all right. Whatever you decide, like, Hank, are you.
- [04:36]
A
Going to Izzer's birthday?
- [04:37]
E
No.
- [04:37]
A
Oh, okay.
- [04:38]
B
So, yeah, no one's going.
- [04:39]
A
I, I, I cannot go.
- [04:42]
C
And then you were like, all right, I don't know.
- [04:45]
B
He's guilting me like, something fierce. God's throwing. It's like I just read that Tiger woods is throwing like a. We're here. Tiger was throwing like a party at the Breakers.
- [04:54]
A
A 300 person party with a.
- [04:56]
B
Who throws themselves. Who what? Men throw themselves birthday parties. Like sweet 16 parties for yourselves. I've never heard of it.
- [05:03]
A
Go ahead, Hank. I know what you're gonna say. DP40.
- [05:07]
B
That wasn't me. That was Gaz and Lewis.
- [05:11]
D
True.
- [05:11]
B
I was the last one who wanted to do that. That, that was a paid sponsored event fair.
- [05:18]
A
All right, so, Rico, what, what's the issue here?
- [05:21]
C
No, there's no issue. It's just I read out the receipt and was basically like, hey, I don't have a number. Like, you're fair.
- [05:26]
B
You're back to your contract.
- [05:28]
A
Dave said, whatever you don't sign, I'm not going to care. I'm not going to do anything.
- [05:33]
C
Okay.
- [05:33]
B
All right. I've said this a million times. I've absolutely no fear of you going somewhere else. I know that. You can't go anywhere else. You're, I'm never going to fire you. So I don't understand.
- [05:46]
C
What, what is, what is there a new number for 2026. That's what I'm asking.
- [05:52]
B
Well, I think you had to propose, so I'd be like, no way. But, like, you're already making a lot. This is deja vu. We're going around the same thing. What's your number? You haven't given it to me.
- [06:09]
C
I'd say 4%.
- [06:12]
B
Okay, so I got to do the math on that, right?
- [06:15]
C
That, I mean, that's, that's, that's as simple as where we were. Like, it was not.
- [06:18]
B
Yeah, but you never followed up.
- [06:19]
C
Agreed. All right, that's, that's fair. But yeah, it was a miscommunication of how we kind of left it off.
- [06:25]
A
But I don't think anyone was miscommunicated.
- [06:30]
B
I have no interest in chasing down all the people on month to month contracts to like to deal with them. I mean, year to year contracts.
- [06:41]
C
Okay. Yeah.
- [06:42]
A
What?
- [06:42]
B
Not month to month. Year to year.
- [06:43]
D
Okay.
- [06:44]
A
That was my question. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. I actually have to talk to you, Dave, sometime this week, but I'm waiting to collect all of the things at once, so I Don't have to.
- [06:55]
B
It's a pain. I just ignore it. You call me, I deal with it.
- [06:58]
A
Yeah. And I didn't want to call you like four times and be like, oh, this person. And this person.
- [07:02]
B
Listen, the people in that category, the hard truth are people that I have zero fear that they're leaving. They're lifers. So it's like, if you're not a lifer. Obviously, we pay a lot of attention to the contracts because they're, they're, they're out there, they're trying to get deals, they're getting other offers. We have what I call the circus, which are lifers. And I, they're never going anywhere. And that's great, but I'm not laying up at night on New Year's Eve when watching the Dick Clark show, waiting for the ball to drop, being like, oh, I got to redo Bosco's contract. I'm going to wake up and he's going to be at Bleacher Report.
- [07:41]
A
No.
- [07:41]
B
Worried about that.
- [07:42]
C
Agreed. And nobody said that. Nobody. But there, yeah, there's a formality to it.
- [07:47]
A
All right.
- [07:47]
C
It's the new year. Like, yeah, you're, but, but why you.
- [07:51]
B
Dan's right. I said I think I verbat. I'm like, I'm not reaching out to you. If you reach out to me, I'll have the conversation.
- [07:56]
A
Yeah.
- [07:57]
B
I'm not gonna hang up on you. But you didn't reach out to me.
- [07:59]
C
All right, cool. I respect it. That's. Again, that's my apologies, my miscommunication, my screw up. But I also knew, again, like, wasn't gonna bother you over the thing. I said what I was gonna, said it was never gonna be a back and forth.
- [08:10]
B
I don't believe that part of it, like, that you care about bothering me over what thing? Like, over the holiday break.
- [08:18]
A
No, I don't believe that you would have just. You, you knew he wasn't doing anything for the.
- [08:24]
C
It is, he's mentioned how it's a point of contention doing all these contracts.
- [08:27]
A
Like, yeah, there was like 15 days of holidays that.
- [08:31]
C
All right, all right. I, I, if he doesn't believe it, that's fine. That's what I was, I, I just wasn't.
- [08:37]
A
So what, so what are you going to do? Are you going to actually, are you going to, are you going to call him or text him after this?
- [08:43]
C
Yeah, I'll pick up the phone quickly. I mean, this is kind of the, basically the same. Yeah, it's the same. It's kind of the same.
- [08:48]
A
Thing.
- [08:48]
D
It's basically.
- [08:48]
C
That's it.
- [08:49]
B
Yeah. But, like, this is. This is pick them. So I would. If I were you, I would send a text at the very least, being like, here's 4%. Here's the number. I'm hoping to get this. Maybe I'll tell you. Go fuck yourself. Maybe I'll say, you know, I'm in. I'm in the giving mood for the new season. I don't know. But I would follow up.
- [09:07]
A
I think you're. I think you're so into, you know, cosplaying as a basketball coach, you wanted to be recruited. You wanted to be winded on by Dave. You wanted Dave to reach out to you.
- [09:18]
C
I'm always going to be a victim of my sins. I think I've turned the corner. I think I've changed my ways.
- [09:23]
A
That also had nothing to do with what I was saying. You just went into, like, repeat mode there.
- [09:27]
C
Yeah.
- [09:27]
B
You're not victim of your sins. You're. You're not.
- [09:31]
A
You just went into autopilot.
- [09:35]
B
I don't follow I was treated any differently than anybody else.
- [09:39]
A
Yeah. And I was. I was making a joke that you wanted Dave to, like, pick up the phone and call you, and then you just started going, I'll be a victim of my sins. Yes. I can't do it. What I did with Big T, what I do. I wasn't talking about any of that.
- [09:50]
C
I was just saying because back in the day, I used to do that. Like, when. As soon as it ended, I. I'd be flipping out, like, oh, I'm fucking a free.
- [09:57]
B
Yeah, but you're not getting treated any differently. So you're not a victim of your. You're not being paid. Like, you're not being punished for being a psychopath who tried to commit murder a couple times.
- [10:06]
C
No, my point is when he says, oh, you want to be recruited? That's a victim of my sins in the past, of things I used to do when I was a difficult pain in the ass and this and that, which I've definitely tried to shed, trying to shed that shit.
- [10:17]
A
But I also think you did want to be recruited a little.
- [10:19]
C
Okay, well, that's your opinion, Dan.
- [10:21]
A
Well, I mean, it was so clear that all you had to do is text or call Dave in the last three weeks.
- [10:27]
C
Okay, so I screwed up there.
- [10:29]
A
It's okay.
- [10:30]
C
Not my first, not my last.
- [10:33]
B
True.
- [10:35]
A
What's up? Okay, what else we got before we do the final two games? Speaking of which. Speaking of. Guys, you're never gonna go anywhere. Have You. Have you been following any of this Mincy stuff? It's. It's quite something, watching. Watching him move through the world.
- [10:51]
B
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know where he's at. Was he staying with Biz?
- [10:54]
A
Now he's staying one night with Riggs and one night with Biz.
- [10:57]
B
That's crazy. Why is he doing it that way? I. This zoom call, what happened? It flipped because, like, a call came in on my phone. Now you're upside down.
- [11:08]
A
You gotta go do not disturb mode. Thought it was the. No, Dave, what happened was Riggs reached out to Mincey and offered him to stay with him, and then. Oh, we lost him.
- [11:25]
B
No, I'm here. I'm trying to get into do not disturb mode, but I think when I do that, I'm gonna lose you guys for a brief minute.
- [11:31]
A
Oh, go to. Maybe go to sleep.
- [11:34]
B
Yes, sleep is it. That's what I do. But now it's like, it's a little bit off.
- [11:41]
A
You keep swiping yourself out.
- [11:42]
B
Yeah, all right, I'll just go with it.
- [11:46]
A
Riggs called. Mincy was like, hey, you could stay at my house. And then Wanton Don called Biz as a joke, being like, hey, Mincy needs a place to stay. And then Mincy saw Biz's backyard and was like, oh, I want to stay at business. So now he's splitting it up day one day at both places.
- [12:05]
B
Yeah, it's crazy.
- [12:07]
A
Barstool Scottsdale.
- [12:10]
B
Yeah, he's doing an event there, right?
- [12:11]
A
Did you see? Yeah, he came. He came in because. Because he. I've told him. I told him from the beginning of this entire thing. I was like, not one dime of Barstool's money is going to pay for any of what this trip is for you. I was right. We're going to. We're going to pay for Tate's flight there and back. And not a single dime is going towards the Mincy fund. And he still will try to figure out ways. So he came in on. On Sunday for the stream and was like, hey, did you hear about the party we're doing at Barstool Scottsdale? I said, mincy, stop right now. I know what you're doing. You're trying to get me to pay for this. And then, like. Like the next day, he was like, what if Lucas comes in, videotapes Tate for Barstool After Dark? And I was like, I know what you're doing, Mincy. He has this little smirk every time because he comes up with these ideas that things.
- [12:59]
B
Well, I just hope he's not self aware. That's my. That. And I don't think he is, but.
- [13:04]
A
Like, I don't think he is either. And also I had. I had Tate and Viva Lestool block Mincey on Twitter. So he can't see the tweets that Tate's putting up.
- [13:16]
B
That's.
- [13:16]
A
Yeah, you can't see the tweets. I do not think he's self aware at all. The way he talks, maybe like a tiny bit. What do you think, Hank?
- [13:23]
E
He's gotta be seeing these tweets a little, but.
- [13:26]
A
But, like, for the most part, this is how he moves.
- [13:29]
E
I know that's true.
- [13:31]
A
Like, him talking on the phone. He spends all day on the phone. Like, he had. He's been offered, I don't know, like, 100 tickets to this game. And he keeps, like, wheeling and dealing. Like, someone offered him free tickets up top. He's like, no, I don't want those. I'll find better then. Like, he's so. I don't. I think this is how he operates.
- [13:49]
E
He also rarely gets the tickets.
- [13:50]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [13:52]
B
What do you mean?
- [13:56]
E
I love Minty.
- [13:58]
C
We're.
- [13:58]
B
We're.
- [13:58]
E
We're pals. He loves Widespread Panic. I went to a show with him in New York, a bunch of us did. Kind of fan. Not really. Couldn't. Couldn't care too much. Last year, he talked about Widespread Panic coming in June, probably for eight months. Like, he would just come up to me and talk to me about this concert.
- [14:17]
C
We gotta go.
- [14:17]
E
I'm like, sure, sure. When it comes up, we'll go. When it came up, I had friends in town. I was like, hey, can you get us those tickets? He's like, yeah, no problem. Could just. Could not, could not get the tickets.
- [14:28]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [14:30]
E
I mean, I feel like that happens where it's like he talks about stuff so much for so long, and he's so sure about it. You're like, oh, the tickets are a sure thing.
- [14:38]
B
I don't know. But they're just not.
- [14:40]
C
You.
- [14:41]
B
Like, you think Mitzi's getting free tickets to anything to give. Like, none of it takes.
- [14:45]
E
He talked to me about the show for eight months. Like, he would just come up to me in February.
- [14:51]
B
Yeah, I know the drummer, I know the manager.
- [14:54]
E
Like, they're gonna come to the office.
- [14:55]
C
It's gonna gotta be.
- [14:56]
E
I'm like, great, awesome.
- [14:57]
B
Like, also, like, Min doesn't make nothing. Like, Hank's rich. Like, well, we'll get a bunch of broke. Just buy tickets. Like, I don't understand this ticket thing at all.
- [15:09]
A
Well, I mean, I told Mincy, I was like, dude, you make money, you could get a hotel. And he's like, well, I got Mexico coming up and all this stuff. Did you see, though, the reason why. I don't think he's not. He's. He is not self aware yet. Did you see the text of him? Like, he immediately, the minute he was. Got biz in the mix, he started texting people for tickets and throwing Biz's name around.
- [15:30]
B
Yeah, that. Yes, I did see that.
- [15:32]
A
That's the most like, Mincy thing possible, but it's quite something. We'll see how it goes. Bosco, are you coming. Are you coming for. For streams? Are you doing any streams with us?
- [15:44]
C
Championship weekend, for sure.
- [15:45]
A
Okay, great. Okay, great. And are you. How's house call going?
- [15:49]

C
Yeah, we.
- [15:56]
A
Okay, never mind.
- [15:57]
C
No, no, no. I mean, we're bad. We're very bad with planning.
- [16:00]
A
I request. I asked to go on.
- [16:02]
C
Yeah, no, you're in. You're very. We're very bad with planning, with guests. We want to get coach. Obviously he's got something going on this week, so. With a couple left. Yeah.
- [16:12]

Who's coach?
- [16:13]
A
Coach Gruden. All right, so I'm out. I'm out.

A
It's fine.
- [16:19]
C
You're not out. We're very bad planning. The guests.
- [16:21]
A
Yeah.
- [16:21]
C
If you want to do next week, you're in for divisionals. That's great. Sets us up, actually hooks us up. That's perfect.
- [16:27]
A
How you feel about the NFL, Dave, going into the playoffs?
- [16:32]
B
I think we can win the Super Bowl. I think we can be done on Sunday. I think it's wide open. There's no quarterback I'd rather have than our guy.
- [16:42]
A
So.
- [16:42]
B
I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm nervous. I. I think anybody can come out of the afc. I think anyone can win the Super Bowl. I'm very excited.
- [16:51]
A
It's crazy how wide open.
- [16:52]
B
I hate the Monday night game.
- [16:54]
C
Hate it.
- [16:54]
A
Hate it too.
- [16:55]
C
I agree with you.
- [16:56]
B
Why the playoffs should be done on Sunday. Like it rapidly.
- [17:00]
C
You lose a day. Yeah, I don't like.
- [17:01]
A
I like it. I'm. I'm thinking about going on Saturday night with Eddie. I. I'm. Wait. I'm just getting gearing up for like a torture.
- [17:09]
B
What do you think on what I said? I said the whole season's a loss if you guys lose. People have been. I said, don't wake up. Barcelona kind of went viral a little bit with people discussing whether the whole season is, is a bust if you lose the Packers.

A
The whole season is not a bust. The way you look at the season is tainted. That's what I've said from the beginning. I'm like, it's not because this is a year too early. Like, everything's on the rise. Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, been great. So it's like the way I would explain it is you. If, if my outlook for the future will not change, but I will look back at this season and be like, well, fuck, that was nothing, Nothing changed in this season. I said it was like the, to a lesser extent, the Guardians Tigers. When the Guardians caught the Tigers this year and won the Central then immediately lost them in the playoffs, you can't go around being like, remember when we fucking came back and won this? You lost them in the playoffs.
- [18:03]
B
Yeah, but I, to me, that's none of it's just a rivalry. Yeah, like Guardians, Tigers, who fucking care?
- [18:09]
A
I'm saying, like, you can't say. You can't. If you lose to your to, to, to your division rival in the playo, you can't be like, well, we won the North.
- [18:16]
B
Yeah, but it's, I, oh, see, I think outside of this, I think you almost can't. But it, it, it's, it's, this is such a bitter rival.
- [18:24]
C
Oh, yeah, I agree with that too. If you got, if you had this great of a season, you win the north, you do what you did, Williams takes a step up. You lose to anybody else. Yeah, you'd be like, that sucks in the wild card. But like, all right, good things to build on. Like, we'll see how it goes. You lose to the packers, it's like, oh, motherfucker. It changes the whole.
- [18:41]
A
No, the, it's, it's basically the difference between like, oh, the tides have actually shifted. Like the Bears are actually taking. They won the north and they beat the packers. Or it's, oh, it's the same as it's and it's.
- [18:53]
B
The packers aren't like some old team on the down where it's like, oh, they're coming down and it's the last. You're both young up and coming teams. College football back. The Desmond Demond Williams thing. Yeah, I, I have no problem with what he's doing. None. Like, I, I, It's a scumbag move to sign four days and then Lane Kiffin, who's a scumbag, signs you and Sam Levit's There. And you announce during a funeral of another athlete. Yeah. Not the best optics, but the world college football is in nil. The difference between 4 and 6 million is a ton of money. That's like a huge gap for a kid, your family, whatever. Nobody's loyal to anybody. There's no loyalty in this sport right now at all. I don't know that really ever has been. But the NCAA created this message. Eventually they're gonna have to fix it. But I like people trashing him if you're not in his shoes. Like this is the. It is a rock, rough, dirty, gross sport right now. And nobody should be held to higher standards. If you 4 to 6 million, that's not 4.1 million. That's a ton difference. So hey, I'm never gonna begrudge a kid for doing that. Like it sucks the world. Eventually schools are going to have to step up and maybe they do. Like you can't force the kid to play at Washington. You may be able to be like, you signed a contract. You can't leave. I'm not sure. And you got to sit out. Like that's what would happen in pro sports. But I don't like there's no loyalty. So I don't get why anyone thinks suddenly there is loyalty. It's crazy.
- [20:27]
C
Well, let me ask you this though. Have you seen what's going on in Oregon? This kid, Jaden Lamar is a running back, is transferring. He just announced days before the semifinal. Oregon's running back room is decimated. This kid had a cup. He had the longest reception I think last week with Texas Tech. He can play a little bit. They're down to two running backs. Maybe three was Jeff Schwartz was tweeting the price. First off, you're on the cusp of a national championship. Like the calendar is fucked up. The kid shouldn't leave because you're on the cusp of a national championship.
- [20:56]
B
I mean, Lane Kiffin agreed.
- [21:00]
A
Yeah, last year, he's fucked up too.
- [21:03]
C
But this kid, my point is this. Yeah. It's days before a national championship. That's like, what more do you want out of college? But money changes everything. But also this. If the, if the room is so decimated he's going to get carries. He could play a little bit. You can showcase yourself in a final.
- [21:19]
A
No, what he's going to do, what.
- [21:20]
C
He'S going to do is potentially a championship. Yeah, but Dan, the price would go up. He's going to get carries.
- [21:25]
A
No, he should stay.
- [21:26]
C
Like, have confidence in yourself. There's no better time to showcase yourself.
- [21:30]
A
No, he, he should. What I bet you he's probably doing in having a conversation right now is just pay me for these next two games and I'll stay, I'll stay on the team for the next two games.
- [21:39]
B
Honestly, I don't know where we're getting to the point what would prevent the kid from just transferring week to week? The way we're going, like, what is to stop somebody like, hey, my quarterback went down, got hurt, going to go pluck a different one. What is the difference if a kid can do what Damon Williams is doing, right. Which he signed the thing and he's like, oh, I got a better offer. What would stop someone mid season from just being like, see, they just offered me. I, I, I don't know that there's any difference.
- [22:08]
C
No, they do make you sit.
- [22:11]
A
You can't.
- [22:11]
C
Oh, they don't.
- [22:12]
A
No.
- [22:12]
C
Who? They don't make you sit in se. They don't. You can't play in season. You're saying that part.
- [22:17]
A
I, I think it's so. You have to, you have to actually enroll in the school, which is stupid.
- [22:22]
B
You can't just go, why can't they do that quickly?
- [22:24]
A
I don, I, I think you have to enroll in the school at a certain time. I mean, it's all stupid, but, but you're right. Like, there are, it does feel like we're getting to a point where you could. Everyone's so scared of a lawsuit that it doesn't, it doesn't feel like anything that matters. I.
- [22:39]
B
And then you're going to get people. Washington, you're suing this kid. He's a kid, a teenager. You're not letting him play. So I don't know, but the whole thing's. And it's all the NCAA's fault, but I, for listening. I, Some people may not do it. Some people, Some kids may not be like, oh, I'll stay for four, even though I got offered six, I bet most would go. That's a huge fucking difference.
- [23:02]
A
Yeah. And you have people like that kid, the Kentucky Nebraska kid. People were killing the Nebraska kid. He didn't even sign. He just said he was going to go and then he went to Kentucky. It's like, okay, he didn't sign. Who the fuck cares? It's the dirty game.
- [23:15]
C
The calendar is fucked too, because now you got Indiana, Miami, Ole Miss and Oregon a little bit penalized for getting this far that the transfer portal starts.
- [23:28]
A
Nah, that's, that's, that it's opposite. No, I mean, there I'm Just being honest, Rico. Like Indiana. You think Indiana is not killing it in the transfer portal because they got a quarterback. They. And they can basically say, look, we're in the fucking. We just. We just housed Bama.
- [23:43]
C
Yeah, that's one way to look at it. I agree. I do think it's still fucked up. There's still games going on. These guys are supposed to be reviewing film, working for the. And the clock.
- [23:51]
B
Well, there's different people doing my. My main point to this was you can't single out anybody in this era, from Lane Kiffin to this Damon Williamson. It dirty. It's all dirty. Nobody's dirty. In a weird way, the dirt is up front. It's pretty clear. Whoever pays the most gets it. There's no loyalty. And honestly, like a lot of these kids, who fucking knows what their future is like, go get as much money as you can.
- [24:18]
A
Yeah, it is. It is the wild, wild west.
- [24:22]
C
College basketball's in a fucking shit show, too. We got guys playing NBA games or in draft.
- [24:26]
A
It's no. No one's played NBA games.
- [24:28]
C
They were in summer leagues. They got drafted. The whole thing is a fucking disaster.
- [24:32]
E
I got one quick question for Rico.
- [24:34]
A
Yeah.
- [24:35]
E
Is the. Is the Minnesota daycare kid a rider? Rico.
- [24:40]
C
I know he did. Yeah. Potentially. Like.
- [24:43]
B
Yeah, he's got Nadu. Lord, I saw that.
- [24:45]
A
Wait, what happened?
- [24:46]
B
Unbelievable. You didn't see this? The kid who. The kid broke, like, Nick Shirley, the kid who broke the or has been credited with, like, exposing the Minnesota Somalia, like, healthcare. The daycare scam. He also ran a scam on Nadu and made Nadu think he was auditioning for an Italian movie with Jerry and Marty Mush. And they were like, had Nadu thinking he was auditioning for a part like Goodfellas.
- [25:15]
A
Oh, my God. I kind of vaguely remember this now.
- [25:18]
E
There's like a zoom call. He's having Nadu go through the lines.
- [25:21]
A
Yes.
- [25:22]
C
So he's a little bit. He's a rider by proxy for sure.
- [25:25]
A
I love that. Yeah, I love that.
- [25:27]
B
I got a rider now on my hands, huh? This Detmer guy is a rider who.
- [25:34]
C
Yeah, I wasn't the Michigan QB coach. I wasn't out. Like, I wasn't gonna out my guys.
- [25:39]
B
Yeah.
- [25:39]
C
He got in touch with you?
- [25:41]
B
Why? I knew it from the last time when we were at Colorado. I mean, at Utah.
- [25:46]
C
Yeah. What, he reached out to you directly?
- [25:50]
B
No, I just.
- [25:50]
C
Okay.
- [25:52]
B
But somebody got somebody's number. You got Whittingham's cell phone number. And when I asked, how did you get this number? A rider gave you that Number.
- [26:08]
C
Listen, this thing works in mysterious ways.
- [26:11]
B
Yeah. I want to. Whitaker knows that he's got a mole on his staff. I didn't even want that cell phone number.
- [26:18]
C
Whatever. What do you think of the coach? Good hire.
- [26:21]
A
It's great.
- [26:22]
B
Would be happy.
- [26:23]
C
Unbelievable hire. I could. I didn't expect it at all. Did you expect that at all?
- [26:28]
B
I mean, I didn't. Once he left, you heard his name come up a little bit. I, I don't know how long they knew they had him. He says pretty quick from after when he left Utah. But no, a lot of their guys are not coming back and they got a great coach. So I'm excited where we're in. Great. For all the shit going on. Michigan's in great shape.
- [26:48]
A
Yeah. They, the, the Ohio State fans were mad at me. Dave, because I actually don't know if you use. Do you even use this?
- [26:55]
B
No.
- [26:56]
C
I saw it.
- [26:56]
B
I think Michigan broke Ohio State again and it is true. They put all their marbles in that game and then they lose their next two.
- [27:03]
A
It sucks that I had to. Like, I had. But, like, I just, it popped in my head. I was like, there is a kernel of truth in the fact that Ryan Day put so much into this game that the minute he won it, he was just like, yeah, they took their.
- [27:15]
B
Gas off the, their foot off the pedal. I also am lobbying for there to be an asterisk next to that game. I don't even think it should count. You can't win a football game. And I didn't realize it going in. What was going on with the Michigan head coach like you, that you have no chance when he's.
- [27:31]
A
He's, yeah.
- [27:32]
B
Like an inch away from being in a straight jacket. I mean, he, he's the assistant. It's falling apart. He's holding butter knives. Oh, we, we weren't focused for a game. You think we didn't have coaching. So I. Great. Ryan Day beat Michigan when we had no head coach, no plan, no nothing. Total disarray. Like, I, I. Ohio State's a joke. That's what they are.
- [27:54]
A
I, I said that was my other angle is that Ryan Day, like, imagine being like, I spent all this time trying to beat this guy and I lost to him last year. And then I comes to find out that he's just been coaching with like, a boner the whole time.
- [28:06]
B
Yeah.
- [28:07]
A
Like, serious. That's got to fuck you up bit.
- [28:09]
B
The whole team was in turmoil. They may never win again. And Ohio State's such Ohio State that. That D. Andy is like we. We know what happens. We play them a 100 times, we win 99 in Miami. They're just losers.
- [28:23]
C
They're.
- [28:23]
B
And he gets out. Coached every big game, every bit.
- [28:27]
A
I was. That was. That one was shocking. I thought the I. The Indiana Bama Rose bowl was one of those moments where I did put a lot of money on it. And I wish I had just put like. I wish I put everything, like everything we have responsibly because I was so confident going into that game. And when I talked to you though.
- [28:43]
B
You said you were gonna maybe double it down on Georgia. Did you do that?
- [28:46]
A
I split half on Georgia, half on over. So I, I basically washed out on.
- [28:51]
C
That one all fucking year. I was like, Georgia sucks. And I fucking hit him big.
- [28:55]
B
I.
- [28:56]
A
They.
- [28:56]
B
They tricked me. Now I don't know if they were a victim of the break. The only team that came out was Indiana. Georgia looked like they hadn't played in.
- [29:05]
A
A couple of weeks. No, that's not true though.
- [29:08]
C
They.
- [29:08]
A
They were winning at half. They're up nine and half.
- [29:11]
B
Yeah.
- [29:12]
A
Yeah, they just, they just made mistakes at the end. Like not running the ball on goal line, having that, that blitz. That's, you know, man coverage on the outside with, with Chambliss, like they just had crazy and you know, Frazier gets hurt, so that obviously changes it. They can't run the ball as well, but I just feel like they just had. And Chambliss is just insane. He's just playing out of his mind. He's like, he's impossible to bring down. Some of those plays nuts.
- [29:38]
B
All right, that'll be interesting to see because Miami is going to get pressure instantly and it's just whether he can run around like you did the other game. I like, I was more impressed with Ruben Bane than I was with anybody. Like I've watched all season.
- [29:54]
A
I agree. But the other thing was like when Ohio State started going tempo, they did start to get a little gas and you know this is going to do that all game game. So it's fascinating match, right?

By the way, Pat Hill standings. Looks like I'm going to win. I'm up 51.3%. Today's 50.5%. Rico, your comeback effort fell short. You ended with 45%. Bob Diaco standings. You and Ibo are tied. So I think you guys have to, you guys both have to give a semifinal pick and if it's still tied, you both have to give a finals pick.
- [31:05]
C
I love it. Yeah, I'd love to take home that.
- [31:07]
A
Okay, so can you get that pick from him? Jack, do you have one?
- [31:10]
D
Okay.
- [31:11]
A
All right, let's talk the game. So we have Miami, Miami Ole Miss to start on Thursday night. Ole miss is plus three and a half over. Under is 52 and a half. What do you, are you, are you going Miami? You going, you riding with Danny boy Kane? Dave?
- [31:26]
B
Yeah, I, I, I, Yes, I'm taking Miami. They're hot. I just am not sold on the SEC at all. But my confidence is not, not high. I don't love the game. I mean I love to watch the game. I think it's going to be a great game to watch. I'm going to take Miami, but I don't have strong conviction.
- [31:45]
A
I, so I'm going to take the over 52 and a half because I think of the tempo thing I, I mentioned that they're going to. Ole Miss is going to try to run tempo on Miami to neutralize that defensive line. I wanted to take Ole Miss because I thought like I still don't really trust Carson Beck. I think Miami's very, very good. But I can't take him because it keeps nagging me that Ole Miss like how many coaches do they have? And this is also the first time they have to play in the playoffs. Now that's not a rematch. Yeah, so they played Tulane, they played Georgia. Now it's Miami full new prep. And I don't, I just don't know how many guys, how many guys are there doing prep? Did you see by the way, Joe judges quote about adversity?
- [32:26]
B
That was not.
- [32:27]
A
Yes, so good. He said, I used to live next to Aaron Hernandez So, yeah, this is nothing. Good perspective. So I'm taking the over in this game. Rico.
- [32:36]
C
I really like the under.
- [32:38]
A
Okay.
- [32:39]
C
I really like the under. Miami's defense obviously held A and M to 89 yards rushing.
- [32:44]
A
There's a shitload of wind in that game.
- [32:46]
C
Yeah, I mean, you can't, you can't. Still 45 on Ohio State. That was okay. Like, you can't. You can't run on them. They force read the two interceptions, saying the two interceptions. I like the defense here. I think Ole Miss is going to, yeah, run that tempo, but I trust Miami's defense. I think Miami is going to try and set it up with the run back. You always worry about those big interceptions. You know, he's had his problems. He's been okay down the stretch here. Pittsburgh, A and M and Ohio State, he's got a 5 to 1 ratio, but USF, he threw two Louisville through four. SMU, he threw two in the big games. He's very up and down. You always worry about that with them. I think they're going to lean on the run more and kind of slow it down. I like the under here, the 52. I really do.
- [33:29]
A
Okay. All right, next game, Oregon, Indiana. Let's see right now the updated line.
- [33:36]
B
Three and a half.
- [33:37]
A
Is it three and a half or total?
- [33:39]
C
46 and a half is what I'm saying.
- [33:41]
D
Three and a half and over. Under 47 and a half.
- [33:44]
A
Okay. I had written down four. Four. So three and a half, 47 and a half. I. Indiana is so good, man. They're so good. And Signetti's the man. I actually. Dave, you know what? I. I kind of. I made the analogy there. There's similar in. Not like apples to apples, but the Michigan team two years ago who just did everything correctly, they did not make mistakes, they tackled correct. You know what I mean? Like, where. It's just the, the level of coaching on this Indiana team right now I think is so high, where they're just always in this right place. They always get like the, you know, on first down. They always make sure they have a positive play. They're just so well coached and they, they were a buzz saw against Alabama. So I don't really want to go against them, but I do think it's hard knowing that these teams played each other already.
- [34:33]
C
Yeah, it's a hell of a coach.
- [34:35]
B
I like Oregon. I think this will come down to the wire. I think it's a. And they're. They're both well coached. But the, the psychological advantage of losing and I don't put it on the coaches. I just think when you lose to a team, it helps you so much in the rematch because, you know they already beat you. They're both very good teams. I thought Indiana would smash Bama. They did. I think this game is an absolute coin flip. I'll take Oregon.
- [35:05]
A
Pasco.
- [35:08]
C
Talked about it with Oregon's running back room. It's a fucking disaster. Down to two or three guys. The problem is Oregon's obviously got to throw it. They had 81 rushing yards against Indiana in that game. Neither team. Indiana only had 111. I think teams are going to have to air it out, so to speak. The defenses are very good. You worry about more. Four interceptions in his last four games and two in the first matchup against Indiana. So if we're gonna be throwing the ball, just can't fucking turn it over. And he's had a propensity to turn it over. I don't know if that's the right word to turn it over in the last couple of games. I worry about that a little bit. I like Lanning in the rematch. I really like. I have Oregon to win the whole thing. I'm very worried about it with the running backs. I'm leaning Oregon with the Ducks. I'd like him back in the championship game. I do think the rematch, to Dave's point, helps. Signetti is a hell of a coach. Mendoza is awesome. He doesn't turn it over in the big games. Oregon's got to figure out a way to establish the run. I like the Ducks. I'll be rooting for the Ducks. I think the rematch favors them here. It's going to be very, very close. I'll go with the Ducks. And if not for those turnovers, I think they win that game because Indiana had to pick six Right in a big spot.
- [36:15]
B
No Oregon.
- [36:16]
C
Oregon picks. Fix. Sorry. All right. Indiana had a big. I'm sorry. Oregon had a big turnover to kind of. Oregon had a turnover where Indiana picked them off to seal it in a really bad spot. That's what it was. So you can't. You just can't turn it over. Moore's turning over too much. You can't turn over what More. Threw a bad pick to Indiana. I feel like in that game, it's a long time ago, but it was.
- [36:40]
A
Mendoza threw a pick six.
- [36:42]
C
Mendoza definitely threw a pick, and then.
- [36:43]
B
They came back and scored. Everyone's like, you know, oh, he's got guts.
- [36:46]
E
He.
- [36:47]
B
He shook it off.
- [36:48]
C
That's what I think. Moore's two Picks in those games were very bad as well.
- [36:54]
B
Well, I. Pick is never good.
- [36:55]
C
Never good. But it was in a.
- [36:56]
A
No, that's not true.
- [36:58]
C
Could be.
- [36:59]
B
I guess if you throw a pick at the end of that, like a.
- [37:01]
A
Fourth down.
- [37:03]
B
Like a punt.
- [37:04]
A
Yeah. You could have a good pick.
- [37:06]
B
I don't remember his interceptions. The pick six is clearly definitely.
- [37:11]
A
That was the Rick six.
- [37:12]
B
I kind of like. That's one of my. I would say your admirable traits, Bosco. Like, when you get something so clearly wrong, like, and you're building your entire point on something that is just wrong, you don't really slow down when you get pointed out that it's wrong. You just plow through and continue making your point and just really don't shift it even that much.
- [37:39]
C
Right.
- [37:39]
A
Like, the.
- [37:40]
C
And he.
- [37:41]
A
He doesn't. He can. He's. He's basically. He's water. He can. He can just flow over anything where it's like the entire. What, the last two years, Dave, all we've heard is Rick Pitino is a terrible hire for St. John's because they don't have anyone coming after him. And then Kyle Whittingham, who's 66, gets hired at Michigan. He's like, great hire, incredible hire, different sport. Yeah, but, but, but I think both are great hires. Like, I'm consistent. I don't think age matters, really, Dan.
- [38:07]
C
It's. It's apples and oranges. Michigan has facilities. Michigan has a base. Michigan's won titles. Michigan knows what they're doing. They're going there. St. John's been irrelevant for years.
- [38:17]
A
But what does that have to do with, like, Rick Patino maybe not coaching in five years from now? Because Kyle Whittingham will probably. I would. I would imagine Kyle Whittingham will not be Michigan's coach. If you want to give me over under five and a half years, I'll take the under. I think he's gonna have great five.
- [38:30]
C
Years, that he's gonna be 70, that when the next Rick Pitino might be able to overcome all that shit within five years, the next guy is not going to be Rick Patino and still has to battle all that shit. You get what I'm saying?
- [38:44]
A
What if Rick Patino builds it up?
- [38:46]
C
They're building. I keep talking about this practice thing, this and that. The place is going to be fucking empty on Wednesday nights again in January. Fucking dummies. I called those guys out like it was dummies.
- [38:57]
A
Your hatred for St. John's is great.
- [38:59]
C
Unless they. It's very simple. Unless they hire one of my guys.
- [39:03]
A
Who is.
- [39:04]
C
Could be anybody.
- [39:05]
A
Chris Mullen.
- [39:06]
C
Nah, Wellan's my guy for sure. But yeah, I don't think he's coming back. But yeah, I mean, they hire one of my guys and then. And they embrace us and we build it back up. I'd love nothing more than for us to watch St. John's you're kind of like.
- [39:19]
A
You're kind of like a mini Mincey. And like, I'm not going to talk to you unless you give me tickets, but if you give me tickets, I'm in.
- [39:26]
C
I don't. Not really.
- [39:27]
E
Tickets.
- [39:27]
A
Okay, Well, I mean, tickets, jumpsuits, what's the difference?
- [39:32]
C
I guess. Yeah, but I mean, I'm truth. I form a bond with these people, though. These are. Become friends with these guys.
- [39:38]
A
Okay. I'm gonna take the over in this game. 47 and a half. I'm excited for this game. It's gonna be. We'll see what the. I mean the, The Danny Boy Kane. We tried, Dave. Hardest negotiation ever yet.
- [39:53]
B
Austin said like 13 phone calls with Danny Boy to try to put that together maybe for the national championship. We'll see. Which is in Miami. That'll be something. Miami and Miami.
- [40:03]
A
I know.
- [40:04]
C
It'll also be something if it's Miami. Oregon with crystal ball.
- [40:08]
A
Yeah, yeah. True, true.
- [40:12]
C
For what it's worth on DraftKings, the look ahead lines, Oregon and Indiana are favored against Miami and Ole Miss. Whoever comes out of that shocker. Yeah.
- [40:21]
E
Okay.
- [40:23]
C
Plugging the pals. Plug in the pals. I'll say the lines. I'll say the lines.
- [40:29]
B
I think Miami matches up better with Indiana because Mendoza is not as mobile. So maybe that pass rush you can get home versus them and create like they did was saying. But what time is it, by the way? I gotta get going.
- [40:41]
A
You still got. You got like three minutes. I mean, it's. It's almost. It's almost ten. It's not ten yet.
- [40:47]
C
Indiana minus eight and a half against Ole Miss. Indiana minus five and a half against Miami. Oregon minus one and a half against Miami. Oregon - four and a half against Ole.
- [40:54]
B
Miss. Good job.
- [40:55]
A
Bosco. Okay, there we go. All right, mortals. I'm gonna go over the Ole Miss. The Ole miss Miami game, 52 and a.
- [41:02]
C
Half. Hank, I gotta.
- [41:05]
E
Go. Ole Miss.
- [41:05]
A
Mincy. Okay. Ole Miss plus three and a half. Zupy. I mean, there's really no reason for us to do them. Whatever. We'll keep doing Miami. All.
- [41:13]
D
Right. Under Ole Miss Miami. And then evo has Miami -3 and a half is.
- [41:18]
A
His. Okay.
- [41:19]
B
Dave. I'll go Oregon. But I mean, both games are kind of coin flips to.
- [41:26]
A
Me. Yeah. By the way, this is the last pick them. So we'll release the. If Bosco and Ibo tie again, we'll just release it on the.
- [41:32]
C
Twitter. Tweet.
- [41:33]
A
It. Great season, boys. Great season. A lot of fun, a lot of highs, a lot of lows. Really came out hot out of the gate. I'd like look back at the Dave, you see they're on. Like, it still kind of blows my mind. I'll be watching an NFL game and there'll be a commercial and it will wake up. I know that it'll be Nidu. It'll be Bosco, like, yelling at Nadu, like, what the hell do people.
- [41:59]
E
Think? Is.
- [41:59]
A
This. All right? Bosco set us off with your.
- [42:06]
C
Mortal. So hard for me. Because if the championship on the line, you should ride with your guys with the Ducks. I really, really like that under with Miami Ole Miss, but it championship on the line ride with you guys. I'm going with Oregon plus the points. But I. With that said, I really, really like that under in Miami Ole.
- [42:24]
A
Miss. Okay. I like that over even more.
- [42:26]
B
Now. All right, I'll see you guys.
- [42:29]
A
Later. What are you giving. See you, Dave. Have fun. What do you give me that face for.
- [42:33]
C
Bosco? No, I've been pretty good with the big.
- [42:36]
A
Ones. Yeah, I mean. I mean, I didn't win rider of the year, so I don't have to be.
- [42:42]
B
Obligated. Who did win rider of the.
- [42:43]
C
Year? No, we never announced. What do you.
- [42:47]
D
Mean? Announce it right.
- [42:48]
A
Now? I. I don't know. It's. It's JJ. It's. It's 2026. I just assumed. I didn't get anything in the mail. I didn't get any alerts. I didn't get anything. So I was like, all right. I guess I tried my hardest to win right. Of the year. I didn't win.
- [43:00]
C
It. So I'm one of those things. It's one of those things. You know in your heart, Dan, you think you want.
- [43:03]
A
It. I do. You want it so everyone can say.
- [43:08]
C
That. No, Hank can't say.
- [43:11]
A
It. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I.
- [43:16]
E
Am. If.
- [43:17]
C
It'S.
- [43:17]
E
If. If the criteria is if it's in your heart, then yeah, we're going off that. If that's the.
- [43:23]
A
Criteria. When are you moving to.
- [43:27]
E
Chicago? You might not accept it now, but in, like, three years, you'd be like, you know what? Hank was writer of the Year. Three years ago. That's. That's the game I.
- [43:33]
A
Play. All right, fine, then I'm.
- [43:34]
E
Not. I'm worried about big.
- [43:35]
A
Picture. I'm worried about big. I'm worried about. I'm.
- [43:39]
E
Worried. I am. You're worried about Rico and the big picture and not. And not poking.

C
Shoes. Wait, that got official? I think so. That's what I'm hearing. Who.
- [44:32]
A
Knows? Do you go up to the sales team and just, like, ask them random questions in the middle of the day? Like, hey, what are you hearing about this? Is my name getting floated around? No, because, like, how would you. How do you say that's what I'm hearing? Because, like, I. I.
- [44:45]
C
Don'T. Well, I've had. When.

D
They. Plus, that's Nick.
- [44:48]
C
Mulcahy.

Okay? That's what he does. All right, that makes sense, because I was gonna say, like, there's no.
- [44:53]
E
Way. Not even a.
- [44:54]
A
Sales. Like, I don't even. I. I have people. I. I should know this stuff, and I don't, like, go out and seek it. I'll just be told when I need to be told that we're doing something. But Rico's like, that's what I'm hearing. Like, you're. So you're just texting Mulcahy and asking him for.
- [45:07]
C
Buzz. No, it's not Mulcahy. You know, what a victim. He sins. So Jackie wants to throw that out.
- [45:13]
D
There. Who is it? Release your.
- [45:15]
A
Sword. Don't be. Don't pout about.

C
You'Ve been thrown around in the mix. You're in that package. Like, you know, keep doing what you're doing. Yeah, okay. Like, that's. Whatever is what it is.
- [45:41]
E
Man. Oh, I. I wanted to ask, do you think Dave's gonna win this.
- [45:47]
A
Race? Oh, I should ask him. I don't know. I don't even understand the.
- [45:51]
C
Race. I gotta call him right now.
- [45:53]
A
So. No, no, no, no, no. Jesus Christ, don't call.

E
Him. Well, yeah, he's on. It's a good time. He's in.

- [46:04]
C

A
Right? Just text it to him. He said, if you. If you're smart, you will text me what you.
- [46:10]
E
Want. He said, text it to him right.
- [46:11]
A
Now. Did not say that. Am I making that.
- [46:13]
D

- [46:16]
A
You.
- [46:16]
D
Right. Don't call him right.
- [46:18]
E
Now. Text it to him right.
- [46:19]
D
Now. Tweets to call him. But you didn't do.
- [46:21]
A
It. And you didn't do it. You're waiting until you know that he has to go to a. He has a tee time, and you're gonna call him when he's rushing to get to the tea.
- [46:27]
D
Time. Call him on hole.
- [46:28]
A
One. How.
- [46:29]
C
Is. Yeah, but he.

A
Doesn'T. He's. He's telegraphed this for you. He's told you what to.
- [46:33]
C
Do. Agreed. The car. The car is the freest time to talk. That's when I pick up the.
- [46:38]
E
Phone a lot, I think. You text it to him right now and then call him immediately and be like, did you see my.
- [46:42]
C
Text?
- [46:43]
A
Yeah. See? This guy's the writer of the.
- [46:45]
C
Year. Setting you.
- [46:47]
A
Up. This guy's a writer of the. The year. Get the fuck out of here. I'm at least telling you what you. I haven't been listening to. When Dave tells you what to do every.
- [46:56]
C
Time. All right, we just text.
- [46:58]
A
Him. All right. What did you text.
- [47:00]
C
Him?
- [47:00]
A
Yeah.
- [47:01]
C
Okay. Oh, what? I text him.
- [47:04]
A
Double. What do you mean, text him.
- [47:06]
C
Double? Like, double them? My own.
- [47:08]
A
Number? What? What?
- [47:10]
C
What? Like, I doubled.
- [47:11]
E
It? Like, you added, like, you meant.
- [47:13]
C
To send a couple of.
- [47:14]
D
Zeros. You send 40? Yeah. You asked for a 40%.
- [47:21]
C
Raise. All right, that's.
- [47:23]
A
Good. All right, so we're.
- [47:24]
C
Good. I just.
- [47:27]
A
Is. He texted.
- [47:27]
C
Back. Why'd you text? You're a dick. Just. Just ass.
- [47:33]
A
Face. I texted Dave. Hey, Dave, did you see Rico's text? Just want to make sure you're on.
- [47:38]
C
It. Just ask.
- [47:39]
A
Face. See.
- [47:40]
C
Like. But again, though, like, listen, whatever. There's a lot of, like, you don't got.
- [47:46]
A
It. That's a chop. You know, that's a job. You know, he doesn't give a. About.
- [47:49]
C
That. But. But part of it, though, was, hey, you can't be.
- [47:54]
A
A. You've been very good. You've been.
- [47:57]
C
Great.
- [47:57]
A
Understand? You've been great, but you still throw.
- [48:00]
C
Around. You're like, oh, you want to be recruited? Where the am I going? We tried that once before. She ran me out of.
- [48:06]
A
Town. Well, because. Because you. You did. You did date. The recruiting comment comes from the fact that Dave could not have been more clear on what you should. How you should proceed. And then you just didn't do any of it. So that only leads me to believe. I think you're a smart guy. I think you. I think you can follow directions. So my. Would you rather. The other alternative here is that you're just dumb because I don't talk to you like you're.
- [48:32]
C
Dumb. I don't like that. Rather.
- [48:33]
A
Vades. Exactly. Exactly. So which one do you.
- [48:36]
C
Want? Yeah, but in. In truthfulness, like, I. I'm not lying. Like, I. When he said it, I read the receipt. He goes, all right, that's a great speech. Fucking. I don't know if he got you a dime more. I'm gonna run the numbers and, like, we'll see what's going on. So, like, at that point, and then you reach back out, you become.
- [48:54]
D
Like, no, you're not.
- [48:55]
A
Listening. You're not.
- [48:56]
D
Listening. There's a clip where he literally said. He said it on this podcast. He said, you need to call me. I'm not going to reach out to.
- [49:03]
A
You. He said on Twitter. Exactly. He said, exactly. If you do not contact me, I will do.
- [49:09]
D
Nothing. Yes, he said this.
- [49:10]
A
Exactly. Word for.
- [49:11]
C
Word. He said.
- [49:12]
A
That. This is where I don't want. I don't.
- [49:14]
C
Want.
- [49:14]
A
Okay? So I'd rather accuse you of wanting to be.
- [49:17]
C
Recruited. Free T shirt out of Dan's pile. If you figure it out and give us the full layout. I'm 99% sure that he said all that. Then I went to the receipt where he was.
- [49:30]
A
Still. That was the statement that stayed. That was you needed. You never gave him a number with the.
- [49:35]
D
Receipt. Do you know how many part.
- [49:37]
C
Of my plan was not have. I didn't really have a number. So you want. So you wanted. I just said you. No, I just said whatever you think's fair. Like, if you think there's a.
- [49:45]
A
Little. You can't do.
- [49:47]
C
That. You.
- [49:47]
A
Did. That's.
- [49:47]
C
A. That's.
- [49:48]
A
Fair. Dave's point of view. Because I deal with this, with you, with people here. Like, when someone walks to my office and they're like, hey, whatever you think is like, okay for me, no, he's gonna keep it. Number. You don't negotiate like that. You don't say, oh, yeah, I'll just float it out. Like, you have to say a number, then I can say a number back and then you're.
- [50:05]
C
Good. Right. But we've gone through so much of that hostile negotiations that I truthfully was ready to be like, whatever number he puts on that paper, I'm gonna be okay.
- [50:15]
A
With. But I.
- [50:15]
C
Think. Get that. Like, that.
- [50:16]
A
Was. You're saying the whatever number because you're hoping that he'll just say a number that's way bigger than what you actually want. That's the only way. That's the only reasoning that someone does what. What you're. You're saying you're doing. Like, the only reason someone walks into negotiation, says, why don't you make the first offer? Is because you're hoping that it's so much more money that you never even thought about asking.
- [50:37]
C
For. Okay. And if you think that's true, maybe. But I will say also, he says he's a pretty fair guy, so he wouldn't just be throwing around a crazy note. Like, if he throws out that number, he thinks I earned it. So then at that point, it would be unfair, Dan, for him to throw out that number. Me be like, holy shit, this is fucking awesome. And then me. Me come back over the top again. Like, Tony with Ralph, like, you already got a pot. Like, and then mola. No, you don't do that. If he says it, he's not. He knows the market. He's not gonna overpay. Whatever he says is fair. So if he came with that number, I'd be like, okay, yeah. So you think that way I'm. You see my way as well. I think it's pretty level.
- [51:16]
A
Headed. No, no, I don't think anyone in the.
- [51:19]
C
World. Nobody sees.
- [51:20]
A
It. No, I. Rico, I'm telling you, I don't think anyone. Hank does not. He's not even listening right.
- [51:26]
C
Now. There's a late charge from the nine horse coming.
- [51:29]
A
Back. No one in the. No no one. No one operates the way that. What you're suggesting. No one. No office, no. No boss ever says, hey, come in, ask for a raise. But you. You don't have to give a number. You can just say, I want a raise. And I.
- [51:47]
C
Just. Yeah, it's.
- [51:47]
A
Accurate. And I want you to say the number first, Paul. So you got to say it. And you said it. So you're.
- [51:53]
C
Good. Yeah, I mean, I was also playing safe, too, in the sense of, like, if he didn't think I got a raise, there is no pat. It's like you get. Like, I was.
- [52:01]
A
I. Listen, wait, say that part.
- [52:03]
D
Again.
- [52:05]
C
If. When we. When we got to that tipping point last week and he was like, hey, it's probably flat, there wasn't going to be any pouting, I'd be like, okay, like, I. I truthfully believed. You do what you do. You let the scoreboard take care of itself. There's no more back and forth, some more pouting. Like, I'm. I've been pretty confident in my ways of how it's gonna take care of itself, and we'll see how it goes.
- [52:27]
A
So. I don't know.
- [52:30]
C
Whatever.
- [52:32]
A
Whatever. You're.
- [52:33]
C
Good? Yeah, I'm. I'm doing.
- [52:35]
A
Well. Okay. Great.
- [52:38]
C
Moving. I'm going back on the Juice.
- [52:39]
A
Though. Oh.
- [52:40]
C
Okay. Wait. Yeah, I. Really.
- [52:43]
A
Yeah.
- [52:43]
C
Why? It's kind of been.
- [52:46]
E
Oz. He went off. He went off the Juice and couldn't even get more than 4%. What's the.
- [52:50]
C
Point? No, it's not that. It's just become.
- [52:54]
A
Unsustainable. That's.
- [52:55]
E
True. Everyone's like, you got to get off the Juice. You're. You know. And he did and he delivered, and it's like. It.
- [53:01]
A
For. Yeah. Like, what percentage is being off the Juice.
- [53:04]
C
Worth? Yeah, I just. I think it. Like, I got up. Yeah. I think I gotta get back.
- [53:10]
A
On. I think you should do whatever is best for your mentals. So if you got to get back on the Juice, get back on the.
- [53:16]
C
Juice. Yeah. It's become. It's. That's not gone. It's a fine.
- [53:21]
A
Line. Yeah, I agree. I.
- [53:22]
C
Agree. Holding it together, but it's. It's a fine.
- [53:25]
A
Line. As a rider, as a potential rider of the year 2025, I need. I need the boss man mentally.
- [53:33]
C
There, because what people forget is, like, I'm still able to control it when I want. I was on the Juice last year for the tournament. Had an unbelievable.
- [53:41]
A
Run.
- [53:41]
C
Yeah. This year, I.
- [53:42]
A
Should. You know, Nico Harrison in San Antonio, it's crazy. Ditch me at dinner ditch Jack at dinner. Unbelievable run. I'm excited for March Madness.
- [53:53]
C
Rico. I can't.
- [53:55]
D
Wait. Can't.
- [53:56]
A
Wait. All right, I'll see.
- [53:57]
C
You. All right. Great year. Thanks, everybody, for.
- [53:59]
A
Listening. You're. Love doing the show with you, Rico. Love doing the show with you. Okay, you don't want to say anything back?
- [54:07]
C
Okay. I love you, too. It's been a great year. It's been a great.
