0:00.0	October might be the greatest gambling month we have. We have NBA futures. We have NFL. We have
0:05.6	college football with the baseball playoffs. We even have two boxing events this weekend. We're
0:09.6	covering it all on the ringer gambling show. We're going on almost every day. You can even get
0:14.6	Thursday night football picks and Sunday night picks as well. People like Raheem Palmer,
0:19.3	John Justremsky, Joe House, Austin Gale, Kevin Clarks going to be on there this week. Check it out,
0:24.5	the ringer gambling show. We're also brought to you by the ringer podcast network. I popped on
0:29.8	two of our pods this week. Death Taxes at bananas. That's the Johnny Banana's podcast. We have a new
0:35.6	challenge season that launched this week. It is called Ratterdie. Of course, I came up with this

1:32.4	slash Bill Simmons. If you want to see us in action, we don't have video of when we thought we're
1:37.6	going to dinner with Racillo after the taping. And he just said, Oh, I forgot. I can't. And that
1:45.0	was it. So I don't know. There's dissension in the ranks. Racillo blew up House for a meal,
1:49.6	which is the worst thing you can do to house. You can punch them. You can insult them. You can do
