Check it out now.

All right. We're live. We're live from Sirius XM Studios, the win Las Vegas, swanky new studios for the Megapod this year.

Gil Alexander. The reason we are doing this on Wednesday again for week two, I know Megapod listeners are sort of sort of used to the Thursday

schedule. Maybe we'll go back to Thursdays. We'll have to play it with the studio. But Stephen A has the

studio tomorrow. He's got Canello Crawford stuff tomorrow. I think maybe even Canello and Crawford,

if I'm not mistaken. I have no idea. So that's why we got bumped. We got bumped by Stephen A to Wednesday, which is great because we get it a day in earlier. As always, the pillars of the show, the regulars from his mom's cork attic, somewhere outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Squirrel Hill. Todd Wish and everybody. How are you doing, Toddy? What? The new microphone. How much of that microphone cost, Todd? and everybody. How you doing, Toddy? What's up? The new microphone.

How much of that microphone cost, Todd?

$60?

No, I'm not using the microphone because it's not, it won't look up to the new tablet.

So we're going to...

This is your old microphone?

No, this is the new...

This is the...

Last week I was on the old laptop.

This week I'm on the good tablet that I have.

And that one always worked, which we should have done last week anyways, but whatever. Okay. Is it the new, is it the new microphone or not? Yes or no? I said it wasn't first time. All right. He doesn't listen, Todd. I still don't understand. I still don't understand. And Will Hill, everybody, and not the Will Hill, By the way, Todd is T. Wisniewicz, on Twitter, looking like he's in witness protection, Will Hill, host of the Shoulda Betmore podcast and part of the Bear Betts Empire. How are you doing, Willie? Gilly, what's going on? I guess we could just use this time to make the big announcement, the new format. We're no longer giving out football picks.

We're just going to read the contents from our group chat and go from there. So it should be a fun hour or so. That's what Todd and I did. We spent five minutes talking about do you go for two when you cut the lead from 10 to four for five minutes on a numbers game this morning? I'm sure that was well received. And the rotating guest for week number two, last week it was Steve Fezick.

And by the way, let me just say in advance, we apologize for the picks collectively. That did not go well. But Todd with a commanding one and two record, insurmountable lead, it feels like, after week one. But that's pretty reflective of how bad it went for everybody. We'll talk about that momentarily.

Our rotating guest,

the emperor of the Bear Betts podcast Empire at Fox Sports,

and of course,

star of Big Noon kickoff college football Saturdays.
