Welcome to the Andy Staples show.

Happy Friday.

It's a little bit different Friday here because Ari Wasserman, new dad, is on new daddy duty.

So we brought in the big guns. Mr. Mandel,

Stuart Mandel, the boss man himself. Welcome, sir. Thank you. I just want to state off the top.

I will not be doing any crazy food challenges the way Ari does with you.

This was the text I got when I asked Stewart if he'd come on the show. I don't have to do any of the food stuff. Like I don't have to eat a death chip or eat a whole banana with the peel and everything. I was like, no, no, no, it's fine. You just come on. We have too much of respect for you. The death chip is still one of the, the moment he touched his eyes with the glove was like a horror movie.

I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin.

It was awful.

So I, by the way, thank you, LSU for saving me by half a point for the death chip.

Or no, by a whole point. I guess. LSU was a two-point

favorite and won by three last week. So the death chip is now off the table for me. No, we will not

make you do any of that. We've got some interesting lines this week to talk about because you and I

were talking about this before we started recording.

You know, a lot of times, Ari and I, we hit the big games because that's what everybody

wants to talk about, but then we'll go hunting for odd over-unders or odd lines.

It feels like the odd lines are in the bigger games this week.

Correct.

In fact, the weird, I don't know if you want me to bring this up now, but to me, the

weirdest line is Clemson against, is a.

Yes.

Clemson, you're saying to me.
