Introduction and Episode Overview

The episode kicks off with Will Compton (00:46) welcoming listeners to the "locker room" and introducing himself alongside fellow hosts Taylor Lewan and Delaney Walker, along with guest Mitch. They set the stage for a week packed with excitement in college football, discussing the College Football Playoffs and teasing upcoming NFL content.

Will Compton (00:46):

"Welcome to the locker room. Happy New Year and I hope you had a great Christmas. We got the boys, myself, Will Compton, Taylor Lewan, Delaney Walker here to talk ball."

College Football Playoffs Breakdown

1. Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Oregon

Taylor Lewan (03:35) passionately expresses his support for Oregon, highlighting their potential to achieve an unprecedented 16-0 record:

Taylor Lewan (03:35):

"Rose Bowl, Ohio State who is favored minus two and a half rematch with the Oregon Ducks... I think this is really Oregon. I think it's Oregon, bro."

The hosts delve into the dynamics of both teams, discussing Ohio State's recent performance against Tennessee and Oregon's resilience and strategic play under coach Dan Lanning. The conversation emphasizes Oregon's opportunity to prove themselves after encountering challenges, such as injuries and representation issues.

Will Compton (05:31):

"I think this is Oregon. This is Oregon."

Delaney Walker (04:37):

"This is where it's at."

The team debates Ohio State's injuries and how they might affect the game, ultimately tipping the scales in favor of Oregon's disciplined approach and home-field advantage.

Taylor Lewan (06:37):

"I like Oregon, bro. I think I'm getting kind of prisoner of the moment or how... I think this is Oregon."

2. Sugar Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Georgia

The discussion shifts to the Sugar Bowl matchup between Notre Dame and Georgia. Delaney Walker advocates for Notre Dame, especially considering Georgia's reliance on a backup quarterback due to Carson Beck's injury.

Delaney Walker (17:53):

"I am going with Notre Dame. I'm taking Notre Dame in this game."

However, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton remain skeptical about Notre Dame's chances against Georgia's robust defense and experience in high-stakes games.

Taylor Lewan (18:37):

"I'm talking about college football playoffs... Georgia's going to take this game."

The panel acknowledges Georgia's consistent performance in bowl games and their strategic advantage, ultimately leaning towards Georgia clinching the victory.

Mitch (22:11):

"Georgia has won seven straight bowl games and playoff games. And their last two... they've outscored opponents by 118 points."

3. Fiesta Bowl: Penn State vs. Boise State

Moving to the Fiesta Bowl, the hosts analyze the Penn State versus Boise State game. Taylor Lewan praises Penn State's dominant defensive play, while Delaney Walker sees Boise State as an underdog with potential to surprise.

Taylor Lewan (23:54):

"This is the kind of game where Penn State's linebackers are going to shut down Boise State's Ashton Genty."

Delaney Walker (24:10):

"I'm taking Boise to cover this game... I think Boise's going to come out on top."

Will Compton (25:17) highlights Penn State's strong defensive strategies, predicting a controlled game where Boise State struggles to keep up offensively.

Will Compton (25:17):

"Penn State's defense is going to stifle Boise State. They're not built to handle this kind of pressure."

The consensus leans towards Penn State maintaining their edge due to their defensive prowess and Boise State's one-dimensional offense.

4. Peach Bowl: Texas vs. Arizona State

The final playoff matchup discussed is the Peach Bowl featuring Texas against Arizona State. Taylor Lewan champions Arizona State, praising their underdog spirit and Coach Kenny Dillingham's leadership.

Taylor Lewan (32:11):

"This is a massive game for Arizona State. Give me Arizona State. Moneyline."

Will Compton (34:12):

"I love it. It's gritty, they're more hungry, they're angry, they feel disrespected."

Despite acknowledging Texas's superior talent and resources, the hosts are captivated by Arizona State's determination to prove themselves, viewing the game as a true David versus Goliath scenario.

Delaney Walker (34:26):

"Let's hear it... I'm all about Arizona. I love Arizona."

Additional Discussions: NIL and JUCO Eligibility

Beyond game predictions, the hosts touch upon significant changes in college football, such as Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights and Junior College (JUCO) eligibility extensions.

Taylor Lewan (11:10):

"It's a really weird situation. I fuck with it, but I think there needs to be some... we'll put some boards on it."

Delaney Walker (11:29):

"So apparently JUCO is now getting... they're getting like two extra years. It won't count against your four years of eligibility."

The conversation highlights the evolving landscape of college sports, discussing the financial implications for student-athletes and the competitive balance across teams.

Betting Picks and Parlays

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to betting strategies, with the hosts offering their "ballsy parlay" picks and discussing odds and spreads.

Will Compton (03:13):

"I got a ballsy little parlay at the end of the episode that I think people are going to like."

The hosts share their betting selections for the week's games, integrating humor and camaraderie while emphasizing confidence in their predictions.

Taylor Lewan (37:45):

"Take a money line. Activate the Valley. What's the look?"

Delaney Walker (35:11):

"Take the spread and I'm taking the over. 51 and a half."

They encourage listeners to engage in betting, referencing their own picks and offering promotions for platforms like DraftKings, adding an interactive and entertaining layer to the discussion.

Will Compton (38:20):

"Alabama to minus six and a half versus Michigan... It's a parlay. Happy New Year. That's a parlay."

Closing Remarks

The episode concludes with the hosts wrapping up their betting discussions, reinforcing the excitement for the upcoming games, and teasing next week's NFL content.

Will Compton (40:05):

[Delaney Walker]

Playoffs.

[Taylor Lewan]

Second round.

[Will Compton]

This is why we play the game.

[Delaney Walker]

Second round.

[Taylor Lewan]

This is why you play the game. Because I'll be honest with you, this whole week, 18 NFL, I usually don't like it because there's so many. Yep, you're right. Locker room is sponsored by Fireball Whiskey. So many things make football great, but you know what makes it? What the best thing is Kicking the living shit out of your rival. There's absolutely no better feeling as an athlete or a fan. And Fireball Whiskey is here to give you the spark to ignite that rivalry all season long. Grab your football buddy, buy a round and reignite the rivalry flame. Here's the deal. I don't usually like week 18 in the NFL because there's so many games that don't mean nothing. But right now, this part of college football, the way with the playoffs going right now, this means everything. Yeah, the first round of the playoffs, it was like, hey, good thought, but nothing. It was.

[Will Compton]

There was no good games, but still very exciting.

[Taylor Lewan]

Exciting.

[Will Compton]

At the end of the day, the.

[Taylor Lewan]

Anticipation to get there is exciting. But the 60 minutes of watching the game was like, what did I just get myself into?

[Will Compton]

Came to play.

[Taylor Lewan]

Some teams did not. Some did not come to play. But this week I think this is really when you start to see like, I mean, obviously better teams are in.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

So it's going to get more exciting.

[Delaney Walker]

This is where it's at.

[Taylor Lewan]

Good talk. That's awesome.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Oh, I'm just thinking about it. Number one, I'm thinking about my. I got a ballsy little parlay at the end of the episode that I think people are going to like. It will include South Carolina Gamecocks and some games being played as people watch right now tonight on Monday, games will be played tomorrow and Tuesday. That I got. I got a little parlay cooked up. So I'm excited about it.

[Delaney Walker]

Is it conservative or is it a hitter?

[Will Compton]

Plus it's over 600.

[Taylor Lewan]

Okay. That's a hitter because the parlay came up last week was 142.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. People was ripping us.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that's okay. You know what I mean? That's okay.

[Taylor Lewan]

This is beating national championship.

[Will Compton]

And the way Ohio State came off that absolute ass beating a couple weeks ago or a Week ago. Two weeks ago. Where we at?

[Delaney Walker]

Two weeks.

[Will Compton]

It's like. It's like I'm in, like a spin zone.

[Taylor Lewan]

The last game they played, the last.

[Will Compton]

Game that Ohio State played where they beat their.

[Taylor Lewan]

That was two weeks ago.

[Will Compton]

Two weeks ago.

[Taylor Lewan]

One and a half. Really? It was weird.

[Will Compton]

Christmas.

[Taylor Lewan]

Really weird deal.

[Will Compton]

Messes our brain up, right? Because you don't know what day it is. Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Goldfish brain.

[Will Compton]

Goldfish brain. I do think it's going to benefit Ohio State that they played in the first round. However. You know where our heart is. You know where my heart is. Dan Lanning, this is fucking. Why you drove 13 hours and had to change into a suit at the gas station to go in for an interview, only to be delayed in that interview. But just a stepping stone to where you are now at the University of Oregon. You have a chance to go 16, 0. The first A. Mitch, by the way, shout out your data right here. First team to go 6 0, 16, 0. Since Yale. Since Yale. Back in 19 and 1894.

[Delaney Walker]

18.

[Taylor Lewan]

1894. Literally. That was like when Red Dead Redemption was based off.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, the video game, right?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, it was somewhere going 16, 0.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But this is the game, man. This is Dylan Rayola. Or not Dylan Raiola.

[Taylor Lewan]

Gabriel. Dylan. Dude, you've been. Gabriel.

[Will Compton]

Dylan Gabriel. This is. You transfer to 18 different schools and drive yourself a little minivan to prove in humble moments like this that you are the guy. That you are the guy. I like Oregon in this game. I think it's going to come down to the trenches and la. When we were there in October, if you remember, like that day of practice or the day before Jordan Birch got injured, so their best pass rusher wasn't even available. And right now, Ohio State's banged up a little bit on the offensive line, left tackle, center. Yeah. The Remington Award winner. He's not playing. So. I like Oregon, bro. I. I think I get. I went back and forth on this game, too, because a big part of me wants to pick Ohio State, but I think I'm getting kind of. That I'm being kind of a prisoner of the moment or how. How dominant they were in their last game.

[Taylor Lewan]

Right.

[Will Compton]

But I think this is Oregon. I like Oregon. This is Oregon.

[Taylor Lewan]

Let me go ahead. No, go ahead, go ahead.

[Will Compton]

I mean, Ohio State.

[Delaney Walker]

No.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm taking. I'm taking everything.

[Will Compton]

You have a differing opinion.

[Taylor Lewan]

I could go host State, you don't know, but go ahead.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, I'm going with Oregon again. Like you said, Oregon came in. I don't even understand why Oregon is the underdogs in this game? They beat Ohio State already, but for some reason, I guess because they got what, two week bye, they've been sitting, they think that Ohio State gonna be fresh. But again, if you look at Oregon in October, they won the last 11 games and then Ohio State failed to cover the spread in seven in the last games as a favorite against AP ranked teams. I just feel like Oregon gonna come in there, they gonna come off that high horse and beat them guys. Even though I know it was close, you guys was there. Y'all saw that atmosphere. It's going to be pretty much be a home field advantage for Oregon being in California. That ain't far from Oregon Ducks to travel. So I think that atmosphere is going to be the same. Oregon going to come out on top. What is it? Plus three.

[Will Compton]

And at the Rose and at the Rose bowl bowl known for pack 12 and big 10.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Sure enough, we got Oregon, Ohio State.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Here's the deal. After what we saw, Ohio State and Tennessee, that game, everybody and their mother was saying this team was going to win the national championship. This is the team. This is the game plan they should have had. This is what Chip Kelly came from UCLA to come and do and prove. They took shots downfield. Will Howard, they ran the ball effectively. Their defense stood up and played like a top 10 defense. They are. It is easy when everyone, when the whole world is against you, to stand up and swing back once or twice. But when you have a dominant win against an SEC school that we all thought was going to dismantle Ohio State, when you see a team like Ohio State beat the shit out of Tennessee, everybody is now patting them on the ass, loving them. Hey, you guys are great. You guys are amazing. This is why you guys came back, is to do this not knowing. In the Pacific Northwest, under a couple of beautiful trees, there are 105 ducks sitting there waiting in the rafters, having themselves two or three weeks of a break after coming off of what I thought was not a very dominant bait 10 championship win. Like their defense is a lot better than they shown in the Bay 10 championship game. So there was a lot of learning material. They end up getting the win, but it was basically a score a thon. Now they are playing a team that they've already played this year. Five or six different lead changes throughout the game. I think it's easy to get up once. I think it's easy to get up when the whole world is against you and prove something once. Now everybody's patting you in the ass. Ohio State's going to shit in their hand. I think the Ducks are going to win this game by multiple touchdowns.

[Will Compton]

Stick with the multiple.

[Taylor Lewan]

Multiple touchdowns. I'm talking double Deji Wayne for the Ducks. That's what I think. For real, though, I think the Ducks win. It's gonna be a really close game. It's gonna be a really close.

[Delaney Walker]

It's gonna be a close game.

[Taylor Lewan]

Extremely close game. If you go back to the. The beginning part, the fourth quarter in Oregon. Hoxton kind of lost themselves that game. Dan Lanning with the play of a lifetime. Putting 12 guys on the field.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Allowing them to do a check. Will Howard. It's kind of a situational awareness thing. But how. States had a couple of injuries. They have the talent to beat Oregon. There's no doubt about it. True. But I watch a guy like Dan Lanning, his energy, him coming on the bus, talking the way he does, the way he talks to these guys in pregame, post game. He's got the shit. He's got the stuff. And I'm not going to continue to shit. On Ryan Day, I was impressed with what he did against Tennessee, but I'll take Dan Lanning 10 times out of 10.

[Will Compton]

You remember that, that game in October, 2. Who they went after, Was it. What's his name? It's number 10, Denzel Burke. You got to go after him early. You got to get one, A quick one on him early and start chirping like, just start getting in his head because you know, you know he's ready to get back in this game. Like, if he has the mental fortitude that, like, he's going to be a draft pick.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

I mean, ever since that game, he's been.

[Will Compton]

That's what I'm saying. He's ready to get back in this game and strap up.

[Taylor Lewan]

Those familiar colors start showing back up. You get a couple on them quick. Not even like a bomb. Just throw the thing out to the bubble.

[Delaney Walker]

Make them make a mess. Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Make them doubt.

[Will Compton]

But that the. The freshman for Ohio State, number four.

[Delaney Walker]

He's a dog.

[Taylor Lewan]

He's got $3.5 million on the table to go to Michigan. He's got 3.5 million dozen. I get. Is that a real thing?

[Delaney Walker]

I saw it. So it's real.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, we saw it. So it has to be real. Twitter never lies. Apparently a booster of Michigan's like, I'll give Jeremiah Smith $3.5 million to come to Michigan next year.

[Will Compton]

Oh, my God, that is a stud, Doug.

[Taylor Lewan]

He is unfucking real.

[Delaney Walker]

Do he leave to go to Michigan, to the other side?

[Taylor Lewan]

Well, if you do that, college football is in a way weirder spot than we thought. Even after camp.

[Delaney Walker]

I feel like it's still a weirder spot now, but it's in a.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's in a cool spot. It's just in like a non identity spot right now.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Student athletes. It's really. It's an athletic student now. Yeah, you're going to school and getting an education. But like, why are we checking something? These kids are making millions of dollars. It's a really weird situation. I fuck with it, but I think there needs to be some. We'll put some boards on it.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, you get a scholarship and you get paid.

[Taylor Lewan]

We talked about this in the bus. But talk about the JUCO thing too. That's big. That's big news for college football. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

So apparently juco is now getting. They're getting like granted those two extra years. So if you go to a juco for two years, it won't count against your four years of eligibility.

[Delaney Walker]

That's crazy.

[Will Compton]

In D1, you would have loved that.

[Delaney Walker]

Loved it.

[Will Compton]

I mean, you'd still be in college.

[Delaney Walker]

You crazy.

[Taylor Lewan]

Could you imagine?

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, two years. All I needed out.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

But if they're paying you, I mean, it all depends.

[Will Compton]

You letting it last a little bit longer, letting the dream last.

[Delaney Walker]

It all depends. I really don't know how that payout stuff works. If I was in it and I understood it, maybe. But I don't really understand how they get paid and how much money do they make at the end of the day and how many. How much taxes do you got to pay at the. When.

[Will Compton]

They probably don't even know.

[Taylor Lewan]

Why they know. I wonder if it's an interesting point. If nil affects like California and like New York schools like these bigger like state income tax bracket schools has to. I mean, eventually. But you think the kids aren't thinking about that right now, right?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, right.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah. I think you get income.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You're getting taxed.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yes. But. But you like all players, they don't realize how much they get taxed until their first check comes in. Like how much is going.

[Delaney Walker]

How much?

[Taylor Lewan]

You're saying I don't get to keep all this? Like. No, no, no. 40 is leaving.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

And that's just in Tennessee.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

That's an advantage for the balls.

[Taylor Lewan]

Advantage for the balls.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. No state taxes.

[Taylor Lewan]

Texas, you can be a head coach at them sometimes.

[Will Compton]

Legalities.

[Delaney Walker]

Tennessee. What about Nebraska? It's low though, in Nebraska.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's got to be low.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, very.

[Taylor Lewan]

Them flyover states, they got to have something. We got. We gotta have something.

[Will Compton]

Hey, why we live here? No, no, no.

[Taylor Lewan]

Low taxes. You got. Cost of living is real low too.

[Delaney Walker]

Very low.

[Will Compton]

Shout out.

[Taylor Lewan]

UNLV also, they might be.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, unlv.

[Taylor Lewan]

So we're all going to Oregon.

[Delaney Walker]

Oregon.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we're all going. Which does not make me feel good. It doesn't make me feel good.

[Delaney Walker]

I just think the Ducks is the better team, though.

[Will Compton]

This is the game.

[Delaney Walker]

This is the game.

[Will Compton]

This is the legit.

[Taylor Lewan]

The better team is Ohio State. Talent wise, they're the talent discrepancy. They're the best team in the entire country. I mean, Dylan Gabriel, I know they have some. They have some things that outweigh others, but if you're looking at collectively the entire team, like there's $20 million.

[Delaney Walker]

But that quarterback is the key. I just hope they get successful.

[Will Compton]

I hope they come out.

[Taylor Lewan]

If they had. My bad. If had that quarterback that went to Syracuse. What was his name?

[Will Compton]

Well, or Kyle McCord.

[Taylor Lewan]

Kyle McCord.

[Delaney Walker]

I think they maybe even top.

[Taylor Lewan]

They probably could have beat Oregon this past night because Will Howard did have that little. That little hiccup and Kyle McCord went the off this year. Yeah, he did.

[Mitch]

He wasn't like that at Ohio State, though.

[Taylor Lewan]

What's that?

[Mitch]

He wasn't like that at all.

[Taylor Lewan]

But I'm saying.

[Delaney Walker]

He's saying the growth. Yeah, the growth.

[Will Compton]

Saying he wasn't like that at all. Maybe he needed to go to a smaller school.

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, what. Both of them lost to Michigan. Mitch. Like what's. How much better worse going to get?

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

Mitch, you're one of the playoffs. Talk your shit king.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, you're in the playoffs, Mitch. I'm playing the Reliaquest bowl tomorrow.

[Mitch]

I think it's actually right now.

[Taylor Lewan]

Is it going on right now?

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, when the episode's out.

[Mitch]

Oh, I thought it was going on.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

But no, I think you guys are not giving Ohio State enough credit. I think it's a little bit of emotional because your boys are day landing and everything like that.

[Will Compton]

For sure.

[Taylor Lewan]

No doubt.

[Will Compton]

But there's definitely bias there.

[Taylor Lewan]

This show has never been like the most unbiased show ever.

[Mitch]

I mean, what did you say earlier? If it's a shootout, I think it's Oregon, but if it's close, it's Ohio State or something like that.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, I think scenario, though, if you look at the situation of like a close game, which we all think it's going to be a close game, I Think Oregon edges out a close game. If you ever go through the thought process of a blowout, you would assume it'd be Ohio State because of the way they came out from Tennessee.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I mean, I just think. I think this game left a bad taste in Ohio State's mouth. I mean, obviously. But I mean, the way they handle Tennessee last week was unreal. That's why I'm picking Oregon. My biggest worry is the offensive line. Just because with Seth McLaughlin out and the left tackle out and they get Jordan Burch back and they could not block them the first time, the first meeting, I think it's really going to come down to that. And they're going to have to, like, really establish the run to slow down that pass rush.

[Delaney Walker]

I hear everybody say Tennessee, but, like, honestly, Tennessee was. They were good.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, they weren't.

[Delaney Walker]

But they wasn't that good. Like Nico shitted the bed. I mean, he started taking over the game where he was running the ball with his feet, but passing wise, it was just like.

[Will Compton]

Right. But also Ohio State had like, big. Are they potential frauds, like, after losing the.

[Taylor Lewan]

Very true.

[Delaney Walker]

I get you that. I mean, but you know, Michigan, that battle is totally different. That's a different battle.

[Will Compton]

Handle Tennessee's ass the way they did.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, it's right. You did call the ass woman. Basically. Yeah. You called Ohio State taking it. I thought we all took Tennessee. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I thought they were going to come out pissed off with a lot to play for, which they do, and they will. In this Oregon game. What I'm concerned about is Oregon starting well operationally. Like, you have six weeks off, a month off to prepare for this game. You're sitting at home, you're having Christmas break, you're doing all that stuff. You're still practicing. You're not necessarily knowing who you're going to play yet. But just coming out and not having any penalties, running a clean operation like that is my worry on Oregon. Just kind of starting slow.

[Delaney Walker]

But I think if everybody.

[Taylor Lewan]

This is the first time a team's ever had a bye week in college football history.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

So, yeah, I'm with you on that.

[Delaney Walker]

But think about. If everybody on the team buys in, you get a. You have a quick Christmas break. We get back here because we got to handle business. We get back on the grind. I feel like that's the type of coach that Oregon has is like, look, let's all buy into this. 2. Let's take two days off for Christmas. Let's get back here. Let's get back on the grind.

[Will Compton]

Because now he has to tell him Santa can come in January.

[Delaney Walker]

You think that's what he telling.

[Will Compton]

Hell, yeah, bro.

[Delaney Walker]

He talking about for the championship. Winning the championship. That's what he's saying. I get that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. You talking about, like during Christmas break. Yeah, during Christmas.

[Delaney Walker]

Take a couple days off and get back here.

[Will Compton]

I think they were practicing on Christmas.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, yeah. Okay. That's what I want to hear. That's what I'm talking about. If we really about this, let's practice on Christmas. I'm trying to win a championship. I'm trying to go in history. It ain't been done since 1884. Can we do it? Are we the team and first year.

[Will Compton]

In the Big Ten? What does he say? Not apex predator, but the Keystone. The keystone species coming in the Big Ten.

[Taylor Lewan]

Keystone species.

[Will Compton]

Come on, Darren.

[Taylor Lewan]

I see what I did.

[Will Compton]

Come on, Darren.

[Delaney Walker]

I know you.

[Will Compton]

Listen this tear talk. All right. Our tier one game this week is the All State Sugar bowl. Notre Dame versus Georgia. Georgia is favored minus one and a half. The over under on this game is 45 and a half. Delaney, I know you're not picking points in this game. You're picking the game straight up.

[Delaney Walker]

Of course I'm picking the game straight up. Who do I have. I am going with Notre Dame. I'm taking Notre Dame. I'm taking Notre Dame in this game. Georgia is playing with a backup, right? This quarterback better come in here, mistake and wow. He better wow the crowd. Because I just think with a backup quarterback. You had Beck playing this whole year, doing everything, getting these guys to this situation, and then you get to the playoffs and now he's not there. You got a backup quarterback stepping in. Y'all know what Notre Dame can do. Notre Dame can be a good team. When they come out there, step up, they gonna play against Georgia. They gonna play at that level. They going to take that dub. Underdogs.

[Taylor Lewan]

You know what Notre Dame can be. They're a good team. When they step out there, talk about the playoffs. Talk about college football playoffs.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm talking about when they get in the playoffs, playing against a team that's ranked higher than them, they going to play to that level.

[Taylor Lewan]

Sher, how many college football players has Notre Dame? One.

[Mitch]

Zero, zero.

[Taylor Lewan]

Okay. The answer is first Year one.

[Will Compton]

They. They beat Indiana.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

That wasn't a real playoff game.

[Delaney Walker]

Wow.

[Will Compton]

Wow.

[Delaney Walker]

Are you ready?

[Taylor Lewan]

I like Notre Dame. I respect Notre Dame. I love their fans, and more importantly, I love the sweet food they have. Oh, my God. It's unbelievable. We had the opportunity to go To South Bend, Indiana. It's unfortunate Carson Beck is hurt, but he's had his opportunities of throwing the ball to their team quite, quite a lot this year.

[Will Compton]

Georgia was just to add on that because he's talking about, is it Stockton? What's his first name? Gunner Stockton.

[Taylor Lewan]

Which elite, elite college football name?

[Will Compton]

When Carson Beck went down against Texas and Gunner stepped in and obviously Carson Beck went down this last week, Gunner steps in like you see the team kind of get a little juiced up. Like he's got some poise to him. Like yeah, he's very young and inexperienced, but I don't think it's a, I don't think it's a letdown spot not having Carson Beck back there.

[Taylor Lewan]

And Gunner Stockton isn't like a Stetson Bennett type of individual where he was like, you know, juco, walk on tip situation. Hey, you're not good enough. You're not good enough. You're not going to all of a sudden makes it and does really well. Gunnar Stockton is like a four or five star recruit. Like he's, he's one of the guys that Georgia looks at. They're like, we got to get this fucking guy for when Carson Beck leaves Carson back, ends up coming back for his senior season, which makes them the, the national championship front runners. Now Georgia, we talked about it when they were playing against Tennessee when I was doing the game by myself. Georgia is so used to like the ground and pound. They don't have a huge running game on the offensive side of the ball. They have to rely on the pass quite a bit. I think Gunner Stockton, when he went in against Texas to your point, did a great job of just facilitating the football, getting the ball out of his hands. Ran a couple times, memed the fuck out of himself with his leg facing the wrong way and the eyes in the back of his head. Getting hit by that Texas player, that was crazy. But if you look at how strong and talented the Georgia defensive line is, if they can get to the quarterback that that's. I think they're going to win this game. I think Georgia's going to take this game. The way Notre Dame wins is when things aren't there for them. The quarterback uses, uses legs, get 6, 7, 8 yards at a time. Keeps the chains moving. They keep it in a game like that, I think they're going to be all right. But Georgia's a, It's a hungry dog. Yeah, it's a hungry dog. I got Georgia.

[Will Compton]

Notre Dame better say they're Hail Mary's because they're about to get destroyed. Oh, I think it'll be a blowout.

[Delaney Walker]

We're going to see.

[Will Compton]

I think it'll be a blowout like Mitch has on. You're talking Riley Leonard being as much of a threat as those guys who can kind of run around. Riley Leonard to me is not this dual threat quarterback that Kirby Smart has had trouble with in the past. Yeah, he can run, but what I'm saying is he can't throw the ball very well like Georgia. If they make this team one dimensional, it's going to be a long.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

If they, if they stop, they run game you right. If they stop that and they've been there.

[Will Compton]

This is, you know, Georgia Kirby Smart. This entire football team, they've been in these situations. They've been the playoff moments, the big moments. Notre Dame has down their leg. When they go. When they're in moments like this and the stage is this high and the stakes are this high, I think. Yeah, I think Georgia Bulldogs are gonna, are gonna mop them. Hey, what if there's a crazy scenario.

[Delaney Walker]

Where Gunnar Stockton gets hurt?

[Taylor Lewan]

Do you know who the third quarterback is for Georgia?

[Delaney Walker]

You know that line Machada came from Arizona State, kid.

[Will Compton]

Arizona State.

[Taylor Lewan]

But that. We interviewed him if you know enough about him. When Stockton got out of the ball game, he didn't even. That kid didn't even come in. They put Stetson Bennett back out with a bad UCL they don't trust cuz they don't trust him. So you're saying we need.

[Will Compton]

Oh yeah, we need Gunner to stay healthy.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, he's gotta stay healthy.

[Delaney Walker]

And Notre Dame get to that boy.

[Taylor Lewan]

I like, I like Georgia. I don't love Georgia. This isn't like the dominant Georgia we've seen.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, that's why I didn't. I didn't take it. It was hard. It was just hard because they not the same. They not the same Georgia Bulldogs. We know.

[Will Compton]

And that's exactly why I love Georgia because I think they know that. I think Kirby used that as motivation as well. So they're going to be ready to go.

[Mitch]

Georgia has won seven straight bowl games and playoff games. And their last two, like the last two bowl and playoff games, they've outscored opponents by 118 points.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, man.

[Will Compton]

Bulldog's going to be ready. We got that mortuary next door. We'll get a priest in here, but it will be Notre Dame bodies, Bernie.

[Taylor Lewan]

The body of the Christ, Holy spirit. We'll get him dialed.

[Will Compton]

I'll bring waffle just to, you know, pay respects. As a bulldog.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, I get that. I get that. I was gonna say, yo, what the hey. He did have his little post to his wife yesterday and I saw me Brew Scotty and waffle. Love you. I'm thinking waffle does. You just don't waffle in there for no reason.

[Will Compton]

I had to put waffle in there because I knew, Troy, you couldn't throw a waffle in there. Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Cross your T's, dot your eyes. Tier 2 Fiesta Bowl Penn State minus 10 and a half versus Boise State. Total points in that game is 52 and a half. Penn State might be on the easiest path of all time. The way they came out against SMU and defensively had two pick sixes. They dominated up and down the field. I liked. I liked it. I love them defensively. They looked a lot better in the SMU game and they did the Oregon game. Now we're talking about two totally different offenses, but Boise State for the most part is pretty one dimensional. They obviously have to stop the run game. They have to stop Ashton Genty. That kid's a student. He's going to be on a war path because he didn't win the Heisman. He has publicly said, I wish I won that Heisman.

[Delaney Walker]

You said I won.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, I won. I should have won the Heisman.

[Delaney Walker]

That's what he said.

[Taylor Lewan]

This, this. I don't want to make the same mistake again. I'm going to make this mistake later. But a team that you're not used to seeing in the playoffs. I think Boise, the lights are a little too big. Give me Penn State minus ten and a half.

[Delaney Walker]

See, that's what everybody already count Boise out. They already said Penn State gonna win this. This is what's going on. So I'm taking Boise.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yep. I feel more confident than ever.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm taking Boise to cover this game. I ain't say win.

[Will Compton]

That would be awesome.

[Delaney Walker]

10 and a half is just crazy for a playoff game. So I'm taking them to cover. I think people don't think they gonna come in as juiced up as they. Cause it's Boise. They. Oh, they playing Boise. Boise being in the playoffs is ridiculous. Why are they even here? That's when they gonna slap them boys in the mouth. I can see it happening.

[Will Compton]

They could have thought the same thing with SMU though.

[Delaney Walker]

Though they did. SMU slapped. They slapped SMU point though.

[Taylor Lewan]

Boise State's one loss came from Oregon and they. They hung around with it.

[Delaney Walker]

They hung around with them. Yeah, smu. Come on. I like, I just wanted SMU to win. Just because what was going on with them getting in, not getting paid. So I picked smu. They was just like a prairie on the. What? What? How you say that?

[Taylor Lewan]

Little dog in the bird.

[Delaney Walker]

There you go.

[Will Compton]

Hell, yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

How you say that?

[Will Compton]

There you go. To me, I think it's Penn State. I think this could potentially be a blowout. But maybe not, though. Like Ash and Genti, he is a stud. He's going to be a stud.

[Taylor Lewan]

He's him.

[Will Compton]

But for Boise State to win, they're going to have to give him the rock 30 times, about a buck 70. And I just don't think they have the team that's going like, this isn't Nevada, it's not San Jose State, it's not Wyoming. Like, we're talking about Penn State, who just. We've watched the last two games they played against Oregon, almost taking down Oregon, the Big Ten championship, and also beating the brakes off of SMU in a cold atmosphere up north like we're down in Arizona. The weather's warmer, the sun is out. I think the office is going to be humming a lot more. And with them linebackers, when you're getting picks as a linebacker, the juice you have going into the next week, like you're making every play and I think, what's up?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, I'm just throwing them all like that.

[Will Compton]

That them boys are going to be flying around. I bet you they hold Ash and jenti to under 120.

[Delaney Walker]

I don't think so, dude.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's possible.

[Delaney Walker]

I know they are.

[Will Compton]

The defense is good, but starts fast and gets a lead on them. And Boise State is just not built again. They have to give Ashton J.

[Delaney Walker]

They have to. Have to.

[Will Compton]

But when you're behind people fast.

[Taylor Lewan]

Exactly.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. If they get behind, they gonna have to throw the ball, which they don't do well. We know that. But at the end of the day, if they can keep that run 3, 4, 5 yards every time he touched the ball, they gonna keep him in the game.

[Taylor Lewan]

Watch.

[Will Compton]

Penn State home to under 100.

[Delaney Walker]

I don't think so.

[Will Compton]

Watch.

[Taylor Lewan]

I think the Eagles get in the way on that one. I mean, it might be.

[Will Compton]

It might be. Because I'm telling you, them Penn State linebackers right now.

[Delaney Walker]

Linebacker, you out there with that Derrick DeLuca, he gonna hit him with that.

[Will Compton]

Derek DeLuca had DeLuca have two picks, but I'm just sitting here. I didn't get this confirmed or not, but I'm wondering if he's a brother of Nick DeLuca. Buddy who came from North Dakota State. He was a draft pick for the CC Titans. We got him in that little sword game at the.

[Taylor Lewan]

At the hotel.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Who?

[Will Compton]

We walked in on him and his girl name.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yes.

[Delaney Walker]

What's his name?

[Taylor Lewan]

But that we got his ass.

[Will Compton]

Heck.

[Taylor Lewan]

Duluca.

[Will Compton]

What he play? He played linebacker.

[Taylor Lewan]

Luca. Like that.

[Delaney Walker]

Did he play?

[Will Compton]

We were joking. Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Did he play or. He's special team.

[Will Compton]

I think he got cut.

[Delaney Walker]

Okay. Because I don't remember. Cuz.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I think Bobby Spain made it on the P squad over him.

[Delaney Walker]

Bobby. Bobby was. Bobby was. Bobby was a beast, though.

[Taylor Lewan]

Bobby was good.

[Will Compton]

Bobby's a beast. Right now I want to hit the group chat with everybody we had in that room. Be like, who ended up being the outside of what? Wesson Woodyard. But it's like, hey, who ended up being the best back in the room?

[Delaney Walker]

And y'all was just.

[Will Compton]

And they.

[Delaney Walker]

Sean, you know, treated him like. They treated Bobby like.

[Will Compton]

Yes, bro.

[Delaney Walker]

And then look at him out there.

[Will Compton]

With the green dot putting his on people.

[Taylor Lewan]

Jaylen, Rashawn and Robert Spain. Robert cares way more. Way more. Like no disrespect to jail. I love J. They didn't care like Robert Spain kids.

[Will Compton]

No, like, yeah, they probably love football.

[Taylor Lewan]

But they love the idea.

[Will Compton]

Bobby Spillane loves football. Would die for another snap.

[Taylor Lewan]

He would still thinks every day to himself and hopefully today's the day. Like he's these pads on and this helmet on my head.

[Delaney Walker]

Did he get paid yet? Because he should have.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, he got paid. Going to the now. Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Like three year 21.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah. Like he got like a three year deal.

[Delaney Walker]

That's good for him because how he started. I used to think he was a beast, but I'm like, they don't even play, cuz. And when he got picked up, I'm like, that's what happens. You let. You let cats walk just because they don't look like they fit that criteria.

[Taylor Lewan]

Right. Go ahead.

[Will Compton]

We got a little tangent there. Oh yeah, Penn State Boise right here.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, we were talking. We were talking about Ashton genti being under 100 yards. Yeah, I could see that happening if Penn State goes off offensively.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, but they got to go off.

[Taylor Lewan]

They're like 210 in the first quarter. Because then you think yourself we have to throw to get ourselves back.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Think of how fired up that defense is is to play Ashen Genti big out to play somebody who, you know, possibly should have won the Heisman.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Coming in playoff game, you get to play against Ashen Genti. That should just get your piss hot right there, because you're playing against an elite running back, an NFL running back.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah. But, yeah, you also got Ashley Genti, who got snubbed for the Heisman. In his mind, he truly believes that, like, they only picked him because he plays both ways. And Deion Sanders is his coach.

[Delaney Walker]

There you go.

[Will Compton]

Something about them.

[Delaney Walker]

Pensacola, that's real.

[Will Compton]

I'm telling you.

[Taylor Lewan]

Ash and Genti might actually go for.

[Delaney Walker]

Like, 50, because then they compared him to the Arizona State. They compared him to their state running back because the state running back went nuts. He had more yards.

[Taylor Lewan]

Scatterbo.

[Delaney Walker]

And then they was comparing, like, who's actually better. So he's sitting there like, Dan. They think he better than me. I didn't win the Heisman. I got to go out here, we got to win this and go to the next level.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Because if he doing it on his.

[Will Compton]

Own right now, if he.

[Delaney Walker]

If he take him, if he win this game, he doing this on his own, baby, you're cooking right now.

[Will Compton]

I was just saying I'm excited.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm excited for this game.

[Will Compton]

Boise State pulls it off, too. Like, even as much as I've hated on them, too. I will be, like, happy and excited. Like, damn. They're really. They're really doing this, bro. Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

You can go and beat a real Big Ten team.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. It's the opportunity right now.

[Will Compton]

Big Ten's got the top. The three best teams in the league.

[Delaney Walker]

In the league right now.

[Will Compton]

Pinstripe bow. World champions. Don't you take that from me.

[Taylor Lewan]

Don't you take that from me. Two points.

[Will Compton]

Almost gave up that lead, bro.

[Taylor Lewan]

Boston College almost came back. Chick Fil A Bowl. Chick Fil A Peach bowl. Texas favored minus 13 1/2 versus Arizona State Sun Devils total points, 51 1/2 games in Georgia. Texas hand to Clemson. Arizona 11, 2 against the spread. Will, where you going?

[Delaney Walker]

Activate it, Will. Do it.

[Will Compton]

Activate it. We gotta activate the Valley.

[Taylor Lewan]

Activate the valley.

[Will Compton]

Arizona State plus 13 and a half. Oh, plus.

[Delaney Walker]

Wait, you changed it.

[Will Compton]

I liked it. No, no, no, no. That's the Texas I'm about to say.

[Delaney Walker]

Okay?

[Will Compton]

The chip that they have on their shoulder for. What's his name, Levitt, down there. Just talking about. Yeah, they're talking about a. What was the question even asked to him? Just about playing Texas. And he just brings up his own rivalry in his head. Talking about, I can't wait to show that I'm a better quarterback than Quinn Ewers. Wow. I love the chip he has on his shoulder. I don't know if I necessarily say that in a press conference leading up going against Texas. These boys are going to be hungry, hungry. Wanting to hunt this man.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But I do love Scatterball. I have a soft place he got me. How much did he run in that spring game?

[Taylor Lewan]

Huge.

[Will Compton]

Played all four quarters for me in the spring game.

[Delaney Walker]

Beast.

[Will Compton]

And he's a stud. His balance, his low center of gravity. I love it. I love it. I can't wait to get my hands on him in the end once he's in the NFL one day for the all white team.

[Delaney Walker]

Arizona State.

[Will Compton]

Arizona State. And I brought my jersey too, and I fucking forgot to bring it in here.

[Taylor Lewan]

For real.

[Delaney Walker]

Where you going?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, can you check my truck, jp? Yeah, probably. If it's not in the truck, it'll be. It should be right over there on the table on the other side. But I think it's in the truck. I think it's in the truck.

[Taylor Lewan]

Your hand gestures are crazy right now.

[Will Compton]

I'm excited. We're talking college football.

[Taylor Lewan]

My heart goes to Arizona State, the best player you've never heard of and the coach that every player wants to play for.

[Will Compton]

Dilly.

[Taylor Lewan]

Dilly in a state the most fair weather fan state of all time.

[Delaney Walker]

All time.

[Taylor Lewan]

This guy is at Auburn, he's at Oregon. He's all over the place talking about Kenny Dillingham. He goes to Arizona State, he plants his flag on the ground. He's like, this is where I want to be. This is the team I want to build. And we're going to activate the Valley. He wants to start an absolute tunnel, an underground tunnel system. Just like Elon Musk in LA of taking Texas football players, bringing them to Arizona and they can go to Arizona State. The only way to get that tunnel built is to beat the Longhorns. This team is gritty, they're more hungry, they're angry, they feel disrespected. Because you got to remember, go and show it off real quick.

[Delaney Walker]

Will they jerseys be crazy? Arizona jerseys be crazy.

[Taylor Lewan]

And the colors are nice too. I like the colors. They're playing in the Peach Bowl. Peach bowl is in Atlanta. So Arizona, who is the favorite team who had the bi week have to fly across the country to Atlanta, Georgia to play when they could have been in the Fiesta bowl and just stayed home. They could have been in Pasadena, wherever, except they want to bring them all the way over because they're thinking to self we got Texas fans are going to travel. Yeah, this this team has been disrespected all year long. Early in the season or, sorry, in the beginning of the year, they're picked 12th in the Big 12. They end up coming and winning that whole entire thing. The talent discrepancy between both of these teams is crazy. Texas has better players. They have better five stars. They have better four stars, health. They probably even have more three stars than Arizona State. But you can't beat Hart. You can't beat guys that sit in a locker room and truly play for each other and fucking are ready to get after it under every single circumstance. Having a good time getting after it, knowing this is a David and Goliath situation. Even the brands themselves. You look at both the brands. Arizona State doesn't even sit close to the Texas Longhorns. There's five football programs that can sustain themselves from a profit, from a profitability and a football season. Texas Longhorns is one of them. ASU can't even touch it. This is a massive game for Arizona State. Give me Arizona State. Moneyline.

[Delaney Walker]

Money line.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah. Money.

[Will Compton]

Dilly. Wake up, Dilly. That's all I had.

[Delaney Walker]

Money line, huh?

[Taylor Lewan]

God, I thought you were about to go off.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that's why you play the game, Dilly. That's all I had.

[Delaney Walker]

That jersey would look.

[Will Compton]

Run the clip, drink their beer, take their women. Not in this house. Not today, Dilly. We got something to prove. David versus Goliath. That we are Goliath. Scatter. Boo. Let's go, kid. You got a big future ahead of you. You got a big future.

[Delaney Walker]

So you take your money line.

[Taylor Lewan]

Take a money line.

[Will Compton]

Money line. Activate the Valley. What's the look?

[Taylor Lewan]

Forks. Forks. Forks. Forks. Hey, do the Forks. Do the Forks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, nice.

[Will Compton]

Thanks.

[Taylor Lewan]

Nice. A little bit of splash. You'll get a little Shamu going there for a second, huh?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Welcome to the Splash.

[Taylor Lewan]

Jesus Christ. Look like a tidal wave coming out of your mouth for a little bit. Jesus. Hey, electric, though.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. That would have fired me up as you. Money line and elbows, man. Let's take asu. But I ain't taking the money line. I'm gonna take the over as well because I'm doing two bets. I'm doing two bet.

[Will Compton]

You got two bets. Are you gonna put them together as a parlay? Parlay.

[Delaney Walker]

Let's do it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Activate the parlay.

[Delaney Walker]

Activate the parlay. I'm taking the spread and I'm taking the over. 51 and a half.

[Will Compton]

Ooh.

[Taylor Lewan]

Can I take ASU money line, though? Kenny Dillingham, tempe Arizona.

[Mitch]

You look.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm all about Arizona. I love Arizona.

[Taylor Lewan]

Arizona.

[Delaney Walker]

I took a crew trip. No, I wouldn't. Never made it to the NFL. That's why I didn't go same.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, and well you couldn't.

[Delaney Walker]

Why?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, it's like to prison high school.

[Delaney Walker]

Hey man, I don't know. Go ahead.

[Taylor Lewan]

What you say?

[Delaney Walker]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Will Compton]

Should have heard Taylor talking to him on the bus earlier. Everybody watching. They just watch the locker room and not busing.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's crazy. You just lie about that bowl. Thinking about chemicals as a kid. Keep going.

[Will Compton]

You're poor like you guys. They care about that, bro.

[Taylor Lewan]

As a kid you're not thinking about chemicals. You're thinking your 40 year old brain put in a 7 year old. Go watch busting with the boys.

[Will Compton]

Hey, but I'm with you. There's a part. There's. It's just like the talent on each team.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah. Oh, it's way different.

[Delaney Walker]

It's big. Way different.

[Taylor Lewan]

Massive.

[Delaney Walker]

It's going to change this year though. It's. It's going to change though. Now they're going to get a lot of recruits coming this far. Every team who make it to the playoffs get recruits. You don't think so? I mean money is always involved into it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, you beat Texas.

[Will Compton]

Arizona got big money though.

[Taylor Lewan]

That golden chalice on the other side of the rainbow, that's through Texas.

[Delaney Walker]

You don't think Arizona got big money though?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, you crazy, dude. Arizona is like kind of like a Nashville. Like it's people are like there's a few people from there, but all the rich folk come from somewhere else.

[Delaney Walker]

That's true. I'll give you that. But it's but that shit flows maroon and gold. But they may because you get cool colors.

[Taylor Lewan]

Just like Minnesota.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Washington and Washington.

[Delaney Walker]

Because just like Nashville you got cats that move here. But they start buying in. Like the year when we went to the playoffs, we was number one seed. How many people jump ship to become Tennessee Titan fans? And then once we just like to.

[Will Compton]

Visit the Nashville they left and once.

[Delaney Walker]

We lost, now they back to their old self like, oh, let me sell my tickets. Yeah, that's what happens.

[Taylor Lewan]

Hey.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I agree with you. So I'm not sure.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, you're saying money. Yeah.
