And welcome in. It is cash to ticket and we're hanging on by a thread. First of all, show news, pod news, if you will. Do we refer to this as a show or a pod? I don't I don't know content news.

We're bringing in sponsors left and right. And that's because of you guys. So yes, the weekend report is not going to be pretty this week, but I'm not going to lead the show without saying thank you.

And it's important because based on our college picks, it's good. We're bringing in money. That's all I can tell you. So let's get to the weekend that was and in a word, Jim.

Jim, pain straight pain, never ending pain, a weekend that makes you feel like you did something. It had me questioning like, man, did I make the wrong move when I decided I was an atheist? Do I need God? Did I piss God off? What is this? Why is this happening? Why do bad things happen to good people? It had me talking about my Saturday bets, the level of curse on these things.

And I'm like, did I do something bad to somebody? No, I held the door for an old lady. I brought ice coffees to the crew in New York. I did everything I was supposed to do. I took my wife to dinner. What did I do? Look, man, all I can tell you is this stay responsible. I got to be better. You can fade me. I know Jim. You're very open about it. Guys, I'm trying. I'm bust in my ass. I respect the shit.

I respect the shit out of my partner because I'm telling you guys, I know he's been even worse than me at college. There's no winner in that. No, but it's, dude, we're putting in the work. We're doing what we can. Here's my theory. Yeah, before we go down the list. Perfect.

I think we're in much like 1990 and 2007. Every 15 or so years, there's a chaos here. There's a year where two plus two equals five. And all these games you watch, not much is making sense. And I'm talking even games we didn't bet. Did you see Georgia Tech, fire Jeff Collins and they trounced pit? Hey, Fresno State, 24 point favorite, go into Yukon. Yukon can't get out of bed. Beat some outright.

Talking nothing makes sense. Hey, Jim's on the razor backs. Bryce Young dies. Doesn't matter. Mike. It's a five point game in the fourth quarter. Alabama's down to their back of quarterback. In what universe? Does Arkansas not cover 17 and a half at home. Fourth quarter, 70 yard touchdown, 70 yard touchdown, 70 yard touchdown. What did I do? I don't know what did I do in a past life in this life? What did I do?

I think you're a good person. I'm watching Spencer Sanders highlights all last week trying to figure out. Is there anything with the Baylor defense? You know what it is? It's irrelevant.

Yes, now it is. Here's what it is. And there's a reason I know some of you have heard this before. And if you're new to the pod, we thank you for listening. I'm going to continue to say it because it's important. And I know Jim is a bit more of a serial killer than I am, but like.

It's called gambling for a reason. It's not called winning. Yes, we want to win. Yes, there are weeks we win. Yes, we've been killing it in the NFL except this weekend where rent was due.

You can know everything. You can know all the trends. You can know the angles. You can think you know what to do. Know the teams. Guys, I watch everything. I shit you not between my afternoon show and Detroit between the New York show with boomer's eyes in between this podcast.

You want to know what Saturdays and Sundays are? I'm watching every game all day until my eyes bleed. I'm there. And guess what it means? Nothing. And that's why Mr. Fandall stays in business because a pro would murder a family member to be right.

60% of the time. There's no other business being right. 60% of the time pays except baseball where I guess being right. 30% of the time. But you get my point. I'm telling you this weekend. Jim.

It was the worst betting weekend since Las Vegas, 2017 and a weekend. I never want to discuss again. It was bad and not even on a financial level because I don't bet like that.

You're not going to bet yourself out of house. No, like I only let the lion on the cage a couple of times of the year. That's my choice because I'll tell you right now if I was betting a level of money that would really upset me.

Jim, I would have hit something this week. Like I would have. I don't know Matt Campbell. Iowa State said coach. I don't know. I just know he looks like welfare Rob Riggle. And I wanted. I wanted to hit him. And I don't know this man. I'll get to that in a minute. But look, you don't really gets me is.

I'm kind of getting under the college stuff as bad as that sounds. Our saving grace had been the NFL. Our saving grace had been get to Sundays. I know. Clean up, lose its Saturday to win. It's not right. Right. Right.

Mike, as we taped this today, I am begging the Niners to give me my one singular win in the NFL this weekend. Yeah, well, here's the thing like the damn broke like we are now.

Drowning in both sports. Yeah, but here's the deal. I always say whether you bet a lot better little. Like you can listen to this pod because we're going to talk football. We're going to talk about the games. We will give you angles and bets. But I'm just not going to turn this into one of these geek show granular can't do it. The reality is this.

Every gambler, everyone who's ever bet football knows Murphy's law. You've had a weekend like this. And I like let me give you an example. If it can go wrong, it does.

This weekend, whether you started on Saturday. Like here's what busted my chops. We handed out the Bengals on last week's foundation. All right. We go out. We win Thursday night. Nice. Get the week off right Friday night. You call it rocking chair game. And we're texting each other. And it was probably the saddest thing.
