Yeah, that Chuck Norris was tracing the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Rex was not chasing the Jeep. Murray, Murray, you there? Uh, you love sandwiches, huh? Let's go to uh, 80. 10th. He was bow. Wow, that prime time maybe. Nah, I had a crush on Betty Rubble. I honestly, it's all after the segment I did and we went to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan coachman was black. He cost them the game last night, although they won the game. You're listening to Stugats in Company. Mikey A put it on the pole, or the Rams overrated. They look, they look bad last night. Mikey, we'll get to bear in his picks for the weekend coming up here in about five or six minutes. But Mikey, we were having a debate on the radio yesterday. Taylor was a think about a Thursday. You were off of radio. We asked the question, do you like San Francisco's way of traveling to Australia?

3:06They got there a weekend advance or the Rams way, which is hop on a bird, get off the bird, play a football game and go home. San Francisco clearly chose the right way to attack a game in Australia. I will say San Francisco picked the right way for game one. Let's see how it works game two when they have to go back and all of a sudden get back on the US clock instead of the Australia clock in one week. Because you're saying their minds and bodies at least for another two weeks are going to be in Australia time. And as someone who went there for three weeks, I could tell you Mikey is right. They might have won the battle and lost the war San Francisco. Who do they play next weekend? That's a great question. It's a great point by you. Meanwhile, right. It feels like the Rams doesn't matter. They're home to the dolphins next week. It doesn't they could fall asleep. They're fine. Never mind. Excuse me. I messed up San Francisco's way was better.

4:09Put it on the pole. If the Niners are sleeping during the dolphins game because they're still on Australia time, do you still expect them to win? Oh man. We shouldn't be surprised, right? Especially there hasn't been a gameplay in the NFL Mikey. And we always say in any given Sunday. In this case, it was on any given Friday night in Melbourne, Australia. But we shouldn't be surprised San Francisco's a good teen. Brock Bird is a good quarterback Kyle Shannon has a great coach. And they beat and they beat the Rams. Everyone's favorite headed into the season. We've talked about it Rams of the field. But we should not be surprised with last night's result. San Francisco's a good football team. Winning the game wasn't the surprising part. Winning 27 to 7. Making Matt Stafford look like he's finally hit that wall or he's a rookie. Making that defense look like, oh, they're easily gotten to making Miles Garrett, who's supposed to be the world record.

5:11And he is, but he didn't even have a quarterback pressure in that game. Yep. That's the surprising part. Not not a win, but a win like that was why I was surprised. I mean, I'm hoping when the Rams get home from this trip that Aaron Dongle is still willing to play for that crappy team. Maybe signs with San Francisco. I am under retiring just not for you. That team over there, they're good. They're defensive tackle away from maybe making it to a Super Bowl. It's funny. You know what was interesting last night? That was San Francisco. McCaffrey didn't do much. And San Francisco still beat the most talented team in the NFL. And they beat him up good. That's the thing. And I think you're right about it. It's not San Francisco winning the game. It's the way San Francisco won that game. It's crazy to me. They didn't ask Christian McCaffrey to do much. They gave him 10 carries. They gave their new rookie, Kale on Black. They gave him 14 carries.

6:12In those 10 carries, Christian McCaffrey had 68 yards to Kale on Black. 65. So I mean, do the math there. But it was it was interesting to see also how Mike Evans despite missing most of the preseason with an injury. Him and Brock party look like, oh, this is how this is how we're going to work it. Yes. I'm going to throw it up to you and you're going to catch it. Yes. He's a big target. He's a great wide receiver. They have Debo Samuel back. And you're right. The rookie ran. Listen, if you have an opportunity and I don't think that, you know, I don't think Shanahan went into last night's game thinking this would be one of those opportunities. But if you have an opportunity to win a football game, Mikey, and only give Christian McCaffrey the ball 10 times he had five catches for 20. So he had 15 touches. You take those opportunities because you want to keep them healthy for the entire regular season. Something he did a year ago, but he hasn't done frequently in his career. So. Yeah, I just, it's more of a fantasy thing at this point where you look at him and you go,

7:14if that's going to be the split going forward where Christian McCaffrey is involved in the offense, but he's not the focal point. What's that going to do? What's that going to do to his numbers? Right. If you took him in fantasy, yes. Only only. Yeah. And I didn't. Yes, but Kyle Shanahan doesn't care about your fantasy team. I think he cares about his football team, but I would tell you to pick up K-Long Black. That's what I would tell you to do. If indeed he's going to get the ball that much. Stafford's interesting. Listen, you can fly a bunch of young guys across the world to Australia. But as you get up there in age and you approach your 40s, you're in your 40s, you can't just hop on a bird for 23 hours, hop off the bird and play quarterback at a professional level. You can't at that age. You know, Brock Perdi could do it, but he's still in his 20s. Matthew Stafford's an old man. I know. He's like 40. Right. And I'm just telling you, it's different. Flying is different as you get older.

8:15Don't you feel it? You're my age. I hate you. So what's going to happen here? What's the conversation going to be today and over the weekend? The Rams are overrated or San Francisco is underrated and really good and could potentially make it to the Super Bowl out of the NFC. What should be the conversation is how's good San Francisco and what will be the conversation is that the Rams are overrated. You have the LSU. And I got to tell you, Mikey, I have to be honest with you. I delighted and I imagine I'll feel the same way if LSU and Lane Kiffin loses a game and gets blown out in unexpected fashion. I was delighting in Sean McVeigh having it handed to him by Kyle Shanahan. I was just because they're overwhelming. I'm tired of the Rams. Why do we hate Sean McVeigh? I don't know if it's the Adam now it's Sean McVeigh.

9:17I listen to the written. They think they're smarter than everyone. They think they're better than everyone and maybe they are. They're handsome guys. They're in good shape. They look good. They got tons of money. But to send your accounting staff over to Melbourne, Australia to test out whether it's good to be there for 24 hours or for a week seems like a total waste of time. And it turns out that it was. I just have you watching NFL games now and every time they show certain players or coaches, you go, what do you think you're better than me? Put it on the ball. The Sean McVeigh think he's better than you. Yes. Yes. There's less need. I also think he's better than you. Put that on the ball. You're saying McVeigh is better than us? Oh, yeah. I'm not alone.

We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rod, Michael Bubley, Seth Meyers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane, and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex Nassian Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone to do that. Okay, well control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet, I would speak for like the both of us. Now I'm working on like thinking a mom is really not a good thing before I speak. And Joey King. You know if your like mom is yelling at your sibling, and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like won't let that slide. It's like you only can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is not what I want talk about her like that. I just want to talk about her like that.

12:19Hi, this is Kylie Breakman, Angel Jaretana. Jeremy Colhane Cash McDonald. And we're the hosts of the artists on artists on artists on artists podcast. The improvised character comedy podcast where each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is foe journal. I don't know if you guys are to foe journaling. Yeah, it's reading. It's called reading. So you're so we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay. A panel of New Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No! I've been dying too. I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sudako in the Pousin Thousand Paper Cranes by Audrement Donald at the Wonderland Bookstore. 14. That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark 30. No way. I have to come to the last bookstore though. Kim Ketrol is reading the guitar tabs. Oh, yesterday. A panel of Eurovision participants. And we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up?

13:19Hi, he, he winks on Halloween. It's right up next to the microphone. You can, I hear you get the elbows here. The eyelashes hate each other. You never seen it least so quiet. As when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on artists. On the I heard radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etch. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need men to rule! Great! And decides to fight back.

14:20Do not use my hard work to sell your bull. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test too. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Robert Lam. And this is Joe McCormick.

And we're going to talk about Star Trek first contact on Weird House Cinema on Friday. Listen to Stuff to Blow Your Mind on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the feeling. You make a pick in your fantasy draft in the entire room, groans, because they wanted that player.

15:22Or you grab a small school rookie off waivers and you start him right before he goes off in prime time. There's no better feeling than crushing your fantasy football league. I'm JJ Zacharyson, host of the Late Round Fantasy Football Podcast. Before your draft, our players to target and players to avoid episodes tell you exactly who to circle and who to cross off.

16:23the site of a crime last week with the University of Michigan. Who bears getting to the bottom of what the hell happened at Michigan? Michigan takes on Oklahoma, a big new kickoff is there. So bear is there. What's going on, man? Yeah, in the middle of a Dickens novel here, it might be like, it's moving a little out of me, trying to get to the bottom of the crime that took play. The only people out there that don't think that Western Michigan got screwed at Michigan fans. Like, it was associated with anybody but Michigan. You're like, what the hell? Like, how is it? Like, Western Michigan not being declared the winner of this game. And I almost turned the channel off like last week, but like, I started laughing. I'm like, oh my god, they actually lost the game. And I'm like, look at my hand, turn the turn the game. I'm like, what are they looking at? A different clock. The double secret probationary clock that apparently exists.

17:23It is interesting, though, because for the NCAA to come out now and like issue this by ruling. And they're basically saying, yeah, they fucked up, but we can't do anything about it. Yes. It was odd to me that that Western Michigan was not nearly as as upset as everyone else was. Yes, I mean. Like, fight for your team now. Again, the theory out there was, we don't want to upset the big 10 because then we're not going to get any of the big non-conference pay days. So like, who knows? But yeah, bear, wait for your team, Mikey. Bear, everything you're saying is right. Stop a 50 yard Hail Mary. Okay? Like, so before you get upset, well, they did. Yarn Hail Mary. Listen, do it twice. Bear, when you're in Michigan, where do you get to watch Thursday night football? Do you like you get to go out to a bar? Or do you have to like stay in that dark room and watch it on like a 13-inch black and white?

18:25Mike, I mean, he can go to a bar. He can stay in the room. I guess as he stays in the room because he doesn't want to go to a bar. I mean, I was in my room. Yes, I got to the room last night around 15, 830, right? And yeah, I just stayed in here and had a really expensive, exclusive dinner with folks in front of all day whites. And the multiples. Yeah. Yeah. We record Bear Betts Thursday in New York. So like I'm flying out usually like at 5, 5, 5, 30 from the Gourmeties. I'm not getting in to wherever I need to go until after dinner is already started and probably finished most weeks of. Yeah, I don't mind getting, I don't mind going to the room at the US Open on last night. Had a Copa Libra Tories on last night as well. Like flipping back and forth. There was a lot to do here. Get some work done. So I don't mind. A second. Copa, Copa in the US. So hey, you had Miami playing. You're a Miami alum. They won 77 to nothing.

19:27It was pointless to watch that after the first quarter. And then you had the NFL Melbourne game and you're you're watching Copa and what come up? Listen, he's watching Copa. What he's doing is he's expensing as much as he can on Fox's account. Okay, that's what he's doing. As much room service as he's opening the mini bar. He's doing everything he can to spend Fox's money as quickly as he gets. From now I spend $52 at the Detroit versus everybody gift shop at the. Yes. Yes. But Mikey's larger point is right. The NFL was on last night and you're the guy who came on less. Well, you've been great by the way through two weeks. You have been fantastic. On the audience appreciates it. But you did say the Rams are going to go. I think through five games, you said they're going to be one and four and the Rams lost last night. Yeah, I thought that was a great bet to be able to potentially make it. Whatever the price. What I have to go with the $14 to $1, $15 to $1 is like that. But what it was and yeah, you think they'd come home now and beat the drives. But there's a non zero chance

20:30that the Rams basically said, F you to the NFL in this schedule last night. Isn't there? They're like, okay, we're going to go out. We're just going to go the day before. We're not going to mess up on the higher season. Mess up more than one week for this. We're going to go out, we're going to play the game. Whatever happens happens. And we're going to get our asses back here and prepare for the actual regular season. Like there's a non zero chance they said there. It sure as hell look like it with their play on the field. Aaron Donald didn't make the trip. It's interesting. They did the same thing when they went to Europe last year. They flew in, played the game, flew out. Australia is a different animal man. I don't know if you could just fly in, hop off a bird, play a football game, hop back on a bird. The Niners looked like a refresh team. The only reason I would counter that. It's a division game against the Niners. I have to think the Rams. There's no way they said to themselves, hey, we're going to puck on this game. Is there? It sounded good, didn't it? Yeah, it really did.

21:30You would be the arbiter of like reasoning logic. I'll go on with him all of a sudden. Well, I just because it's the Niners, that's all. That game's going to be important down the road, possibly. It is. I guess really kidding aside. Yes. I mean, obviously they wanted to play. They wanted to win and compete. But it sure is how it looked like. They took the theory body wise that we just need to get back to it. Yes. And from someone who spent a month on Australia a couple of years ago with the Women's World Cup, I can tell you when I came back after being there for a month, yeah, it was out of commission for like eight to ten days. My body was screwed up. Yes, there I was saying that on the show. Like even the Niners who got there a week before the game, I went to Australia. I was there for three weeks. You have been I've come back as well.

22:31Obviously I'm here. I'm doing the show with you. It takes more than a week for your body to adjust to the time difference. It just does not even a week after a week. I was still falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon. You know, exactly right. Even though I'd love to go up there and love to do those nice coastal walks. Yes. Maybe the Rams are as good as we thought they were going to be. How about that? Oh, there is also that possibility. Yeah. Talked about it as well. Last year we were talking about it this time. It's Matthew Stafford ever going to play. It's back in to be okay. And it was just an assumption this year that was going to be the case. Oh, he was going to be fine. And Puke had a disastrous offseason. Do you want to add into this a year older? Like there's no guarantee that Miles Garrett and Aaron Donnell, when they come back, they're going to be the players that they like. Why not? Yeah, why not? I hope Aaron Donnell retires. He saw the game last time. He's like, I don't want to be important. Yeah. I'm about that.

23:33Are you excited for the NFL this weekend? I know college is your passion. You love it. But are you excited for the NFL Sunday? I am. I am excited to go all in on my survivor contest with the Los Angeles chargers and get absolutely burned. I'm looking forward to that. You seem experienced on this front. I'm very, I've been someone who's like gone out week one with the Bengals like 11 straight years. It seems so I couldn't go Bengals this week. But yeah, I'm excited to see someone extract revenge on the Jets in the opening week of the season for the second straight year. Last year it was Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers this week. It's going to be Robert Sala and the God awful looking Tennessee Titans. Before we get to your picks here and what you like for the weekend, both college and the NFL, what did you make here of? I thought the bigger story from the Clemson LSU game

24:35was not that LSU was so overwhelming bear. It was that Clemson has fallen so far, so quickly, that Davos Swinney, I have to think his days are numbered. He'll make the season probably the buyout is ridiculous. But I just, that was my thought. Man, Clemson four years ago was one of the premier programs in college football and now they're a, they're a punchline bear. And then you said four years ago and what happened within that window, the sport completely changed. It's now a pay for play, portal, NIL, types of joy and that is something that Clemson has not adapted to. You've seen the rise of the Indiana's and the SMUs in this area and the fall of some of these teams, whether it's in the SEC or Clemson teams that have not really adapted to this area. Like I wonder if deep down inside, look, I know Davos is a coach and he wants to coach and he loves Clemson and he loves football to this team.

25:37Like I wonder if it does go south if there's a small part of him. That's like, you know what? Why do I want to deal with this garbage anymore? I don't want to have to pay these, he'd find guys to pay in the portal and worry about re-recruiting the guys that are on my team. And it's interesting that last week you had the example of modern college football over the three-year era of college football and then you got Clemson who building from within your recruiting base, playing guys that kind of were on your roster. Didn't have a ton of live game reps and then you got LSU on the other side who was bringing in guys from other teams but all they've been doing is playing for the last couple of years and it clearly made it to Clemson so far behind that the eight ball certainly at the quarterback position. I think the receivers are good. I think I think Westgo and those guys that they have receiver are good but yeah it will be interesting to see what happens if they lose to Miami and

26:38a fashion that they potentially could lose to now. No one's going to think Clemson has a chance and of course that means Clemson will rise up and play well in death value that night but Clemson has an idle week after that and you just got to wonder maybe if that could be a potentially a week where Dabo and the administration come to and be like all right maybe we maybe we negotiate something maybe it happens at the end of the year like this. It looked like I don't know I don't want to say I'm acting because Western Michigan went out and dominated Michigan and held the ball for 40 minutes say your last week but the starts didn't look like a group of five type team compared to what LSU looked like last week. Yeah it was pretty bad Mikey do you take everything anything that bear says on this show do you bet it yes do you ever fade them. Why would I do something like that. I'm just what because I would like you to have your own mind I'm just wondering if you disagree with bear do you go opposite of bear or do you just stay away from the game. I'll say this if I feel strongly about a game and bear tells me to bet the other way I probably don't

27:42bet it right but very rarely do I have a feeling on a game bear has a feeling on. Okay. Now this is how I do it. Yeah. Right that's why I was asking because what I do is if bear likes it generally I'll take the game but if he does it if I like the opposite of what bear is telling me I just stay away from the game. Yeah. I'm saying. That's how you have to do it. Right. Yes. That's how I am as well. I mean it's like okay someone I respect likes the other side. I'm not saying that I'll respect either of you two guys by the way. You're supposed to watch him. I got you. I got you bear. I got it but but but it did something where my laughter was late. We're we're always learning like what what do they see that I don't see am I looking at this through a different prism and you're right. I will not necessarily and that's why we talk it out right. We can talk about it. Yes. Yes. I like getting there. Yeah. If someone's going

28:47over that made me I won't play a game because someone's bringing up a very prudent point. Yes. Uh, shame on me for getting away from that segment that we started last year. We have it continue this year. We will continue it next week. I am promising you. I am promising the audience. We will talk it out with our news with our sports pages in hand and figure out who all three of us like what do you got Mikey? I was just going to say as far as this week goes. I don't like betting NFL games in week one in terms of against the spread because we really don't know who anybody is but I will bet so many unders this week because everybody wants to see the high flying offenses. They never show up in week one. I'm already two and no betting unders. I will probably bet a lot of that but I will listen to bear if you like some spreads. I do not. I wanted to try my... Yeah, but you have to. Yeah. I have to get into your job. Five games. Five games in circa millions this week for a few. And like I wanted to get there so badly

29:54with the Atlanta Falcons getting points against the Steelers because I don't think the Steelers are very good. But now is Cooper Rush really going to be this good? Yes. Yes. Yes. Taylor said if Cooper Rush is playing quarterback in that game, he won't watch that game. Yes. Like how do you get that? Why? Cooper Rush is better than two a tongue by lower. No, because the one thing you're interested in the Falcons as it relates to the Falcons is if two of you can turn his career around, right? That's what you want to see. I'm with bear though. I don't want to bet on Cooper Rush. Only NFL bet that I have made this week is I played the commander's team total under 19 and a half. I don't know how they score against that Eagles defense with the offensive line and shambles. I don't know about their wide receiver depth. Jayden Daniels is someone who one hit and he could be done for the game. He

30:58could tweak a cap or a hamstring just walking under center for the first play of the game. But yeah, I don't know. Right. Maybe maybe it's two touchdowns and two field goals, but I was going to say, I don't know how they score three touchdowns. Yes. You can say whatever you want to get about that, Jaylen Hertz and Cereani and the coordinator that on the offensive side of the ball, but that defense is filthy. I'm with Mikey. It's such a dangerous game the first Sunday. You got to watch these teams play. If you based it on preseason hype, you would have pounded the Rams last night. It's ridiculous. All right. So bear, who do we like you? Let's start with college. What are you looking at for the college late here? You're in in Arbor, Michigan, Oklahoma, Michigan is plus five and a half. I'm tempted to say Michigan's going to win that game outright, by the way. Hey, you know how I think Mikey knows how I think like every instinct with the betting instinct, the gambler, the handicap instinct in me says the only side in this game you can play is Michigan plus

31:59the points because it was a single solitary soul out there that wants any part of Michigan on Saturday afternoon. It's like there wasn't a single solitary soul that wanted any part of Florida state on Monday night and the North probably should have won the game, but they're so inept and so terrible that they couldn't take the gift that SMU was giving them. Now the one thing that does hold the back from taking Michigan plus the points here is just I don't know how we can expect Bryce Underwood to be any better than what was like last year in this game, he was at 11-24, I think in the game, in Norman, like I don't know, the Michigan offensive line was so bad. I would expect maybe just a lot more running from Bryce Underwood to try and like just uses that criticism and just kind of that maybe that's the way to go, but I don't know, push comes to shove if you're in one of those kind of contests, I like taking Michigan would be

33:01the only thing. The only thing, right? But it seems like you don't love the game, so what do you look at that? I don't. I like Mississippi State getting one and a half. Right. In the soda, I love Camarillo Taylor. I think he is a stud quarterback. He's going to be a guy who a lot of teams are going to be going after in the portal at the end of the year trying to get him to transfer really good dual threat guy. Minnesota is a team that a lot of people are high on in the big 10. I don't I don't think Mississippi State or Minnesota are like eight or nine win teams, but it's kind of a folkroom type game. It's a coin flip game on their schedule that could really elevate them to a better ball. If you go back since 2018, Minnesota has been in 10 games at home where the spread has been plus three minus three either way within that window. And they've lost eight of the 10 outright. I'm a PJ Flex guy, so I don't think it's necessary.

34:01I reflect on him. Maybe they're they just have a net of losing these coin flipy type games. So I like Mississippi State plus the one and a half. I like Texas to beat Ohio State instead of laying the one and a half, I just play the money line. Really? Yeah, just take the the the the potential for a 24 23 game or an overtime game kind of out of it. But I harken back. I'm using all sorts of great words to harken back. Yes. And in that setting it feels like you should be holding a lantern. A few years ago, uh, Sark and Texas hosted Alabama, lost a close game. And then the following year, they went to Tuscaloosa and one relatively easily. So I think there was some parallels that you could potentially draw there. I know we hasn't been great again in the top 10 matchups, two and six, a Texas. But I think this Texas team is better than the team that they had last year.

35:04I'm not sure the Ohio State team is better than the one last year that beat Texas in the season opener on their home field in Arches for a start. I worry about the Ohio State offensive line. The lasting impression I have of Ohio State from last year was those tackles getting absolutely abused by Indiana and Miami in the college for public life. They're going to be going against the consimmons and biles and and a Texas improved Texas front. I don't not sure they're going to have a lot of time for Julian San to get the ball out to those weapons. Can they run? We will see. But I do like Texas on the money line. Okay. I like a couple of totals. I like FIU Buffalo under 47 and a half. Wow. You got the FIU cover back door last week. Yeah, defense played awesome, but they couldn't stop from the ball over. It probably would have been

36:04a lot easier cover, but Buffalo is a team that hung on against Albany last week. You did a goal line stand. I don't think they're going to be able to move the ball very well. So it feels like an under I thought about lighting 10 and a half with the with the pan theta again this week, but couldn't get there. I think the under is a better play. And I played Duke Illinois under 51 and a half. Yeah, Duke's offense is basically shepherd running the ball. Duke shouldn't beat Illinois last year. Illinois did not basically had a third of their offense on two plays last week. So I under 51 and a half seems like a good play. And then I'm going to hold my nose and take an ugly, ugly dog. Wow, a hold by nose game. This is very exciting. Should we hold our noses while you'll do it? I mean, what do you think? I'm going to hold my nose. We're going to hold on. I'm going to take temple plus 24 and a half against. Oh, yeah. Oh, we do as ours. It's awesome last week, but I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to take temple here and a big number. All right,

37:05can you hold your nose very tightly and say that again? I'm going to take temple plus 24 and a half against Penn State up with that big win against Marshall. I think Casey. Wow. Can you say with that number? I think we should do that. Hold your nose game of the week. Yeah, next week we can do we can talk it out and we can have a boat while we're talking it out. Yes. Harkin back and I've never heard anyone on this planet say I'm a PJ Fleck guy. You get out of here. You don't like rowing the boat? Come on. I mean, I do. I just I've never heard how do you want claim to be a PJ Fleck guy? I'm going to announce it to the world, you know. You just want to die. Right. That was a fun game day a few years back. So how do you navigate week one of the NFL band before we get you out of here? I am similar to Mikey. Like I if I have to play these games like I do in contest, I tend to try and

38:07go opposite of the public sentiment in a lot of these games. Like a lot of people think that the bears are going to put up a billion points and they look like Carolina would be an attractive side to me this week. Right. The dolphins would be an attractive side to me this week, even though I buy my for our our I don't want to say our friends at Fandall because I don't see anything in the bank account from your friends at Fandall. So your friends at Fandall, maybe at least take some of their money in this one. The dolphins, how are they winning five games? Like there, you can do the adjusted season win totals there. Right. I bet under four and a half wins at late 170, which it just a little seems a little steep, but I don't mind paying attacks on adding an extra win to basically have a habit in my pocket. Four wins, maybe you can walk into a team sitting

39:11guys at the end of the year. Right. Play the jets twice. Right. Exactly. But you look at their schedule. How are they getting to five? Like, like just Halfley has come out and said this year is not about one loss record. It's about player development. Hey, that's telling you right there that they know. There's no way Halfley is saying that without Stephen Ross is approval by the way. He's just not coming out and saying, Hey, I'm hiring as an NFL head coach. It's my first job. I'm here to develop players. We're going to go two and 15, but that's the winning's not the goal. Yes. All right, Bear. We appreciate it. Very efficient with your picks today. We enjoyed it. Thank you. It was, Mikey. He just gave, he gave you a hold your nose game. He gave you five college games, I believe, and he gave you a strategy for week one in the NFL. I love it. You write it all down, Mike? Of course. All right. Take a picture and send it over to me.
