Welcome to the Andy Staples show, and yeah, today's the day that I pay the Piper because I'm not very smart.

I made a very bad bet with my co-host Ari Wasserman. I gave him way too many

points, and honestly, it didn't matter how many points I gave him. I could have bet him straight up.

Still would have lost. My faith in LSU, much like my faith in Pittsburgh last year, not rewarded.

Ari, feel free to gloat.

Let me ask you this.

Will you give me 10 points over any other spread ever again?

No.

Never again.

Okay, so this is shock therapy then.

So no more pit.

You got pit out of your system with mayonnaise.

And now altering spreads by double digit points is now, I mean, you're going to be a professional

gambler when we're done with all this. So I'm proud of you. And, you know, it's, this challenge,

I think is, uh, is going to be something that you'll be able to triumph though, because I remember

the back of the day when you're trying to gain weight for your football team, weren't you just downing jars of peanut butter and two-liter bottles of Mountain Dew before bed and all that? Your body has been through at all. Yeah, whole pizzas. Yeah, it's been through hell. And so we're going to do the Will Levis challenge. And if you've been listening, you know exactly what we're talking about, but if you're new here, Will Levis is the starting quarterback at Kentucky,

transferred from Penn State

last year. A video came out of him over the summer of him eating a banana peel and all, and he did

not seem phased by it one bit. So I'm hoping that I can just channel the spirit of Will Levis today,

and then I'll be good to go.

But first, let's talk about how we got here.

And I gave already 15 points on the LSU-U-U-CLA game.
