The Silverado Z R2, Chevy's new flagship off road truck was introduced in September and in in the spring you'll be able to see it at your Chevy dealer and what's next for 2022. Well, just a couple of days ago, Chevy revealed the first ever all electric Silverado built from the ground up on the ultium battery platform that brings with it new power, new flexibility and of course a new range of what's possible in a truck.

Thank you to Chevy and go right now and just whisper part of my take, you get $100 off your new electric Chevy Silverado. Okay, let's go.

Boy!

Boy!

Boy!

Now in the street there is violence

And then a lot of stuff will be done

No place to hang out or washing

And then again they fall on the sun

Oh no we don't It's part of my take. There's an about horsesports.. Yeah. Welcome to part of my take presented by Chevy, the all brand new Chevy all electric Silverado is coming out the ZR2. Check it out. It's going to be awesome. Today is Friday, January 7th, and it is week 18, the first ever week 18, and it coming down to it. The drive to the 405, which also might be the drive to Dallas Fort Worth is coming down to it. And we're going to do our picks and preview how we doing boys. Are we feeling like it might be in Dallas now? Well, so here's the general vibe of the studio. Big cats in Chicago right now, but Billy has already taken Big Cat's seat on the other end of the table here. So he's kind of he's breaking in the ask group for himself later. But Big Cat, there is a palpable bit of nervousness in the studio today. There are nerves because these picks mean something. Hank said that he changed his picks like four times and he's never done that before. So people here are deep inside their own heads. So let's recap real quick because it's been a season long competition. So if you miss it at any point, we'll recap it for everyone. The deal is this every single week, all six of us have picked four games, a favorite, an underdog, an over and an under. The rule was that the last place person

and the second place person have to drive

from New York City to LA for the Super Bowl.

We are now facing week 18 and everyone is still alive

to potentially drive.

So the standings are as such.

I'm gonna do it by points, because it's easier this way.

PFT and Hank are tied at first for 40 and a half points. Pushes a half point. Jake is in second with 37 points. Myself and Liam, we are tied for third with 35 and a half points and Billy is in last with 33.5 points. So everyone, depending on week 18, could potentially like obviously PFT and Hank can't finish last, but both of them can finish second. I probably can't finish first, but I could finish last. So everyone is, or I couldn't finish second, but I could finish last. So every one is your vote. You got your half ahead of Liam. Your Monday night Steelers. Oh, okay, so what am I now? So you're four games behind PFT and Hank, So technically you can still tie for second. Okay, so yeah, there it is. It's chaos. It's chaos for everyone's picks. We had memes, everyone texted memes separately so there's no funny business going on because we know that Billy would cheat if he could figure it out. But it's definitely tense right now because I think facing it, don't really want to travel uh... all the way across country in a few days and maybe go to dallas too which makes the drive significantly less fun i mean dallas would be a lot of fun to make the road trip down there hit up national maybe stop on berb and street hit new orlands on the way that's pretty sick Billy's right. It is sick. Also fair warning to you big gap

Billy said that he's going he's in danger of having all four of his picks be correct this week. Oh feels like he just went for no

Also PFT was trying to get me to spoil

You came up to me at the office earlier when I came in and was like hey Hank I submitted my picks already so you can tell me what yours are

Yeah, and Hank was like Hank correctly said that's cap. I was cap. Nice try. It will be though. It's going to be exciting. It's going to come down to it. We've all submitted our picks. Before we do our picks, should we talk a little bit about AB and the recent news? So Antonio Brown obviously came out today or yesterday and said that he was injured. No, he was hurt, not injured and bruce ariens caught him on the sideline because he was hurt refused to play no no he was injured and then bruce ariens told him that he was hurt heart right not injured right and then bruce ariens cut him and did the throat slash to him allegedly on the sidelines also i was i was reading on some of the screenshots that a b put on Twitter or on his Instagram story this morning. He said, the screenshot was a text from Bruce Ariens and said, hey, Antonio Brown, what's up? This is B.A. here before he proceeded to say, like, how are we feeling, Antonio Brown was like, I hurt my ankle. I think I'm gonna give it a go coach. I just wanna do whatever it takes to be ready for the team.
