Summary
Andy and Max Olson whip around college football and underscore the biggest storylines in week eight. Pitt IS legit, and Ari IS going to have to drink a mustard-drenched shot of liquor! The guys analyze Pittsburgh's success and Clemson's faults. Oklahoma narrowly avoids...Kansas? Caleb Williams flashed a few "Freshman moments" but he's still Oklahoma's best option...right? Is it time to implement a new overtime format? Because a 9OT Penn State-Illinois game is a lot to ingest. Oregon escaped with a win in another Pac-12 thriller, but were they saved by Dorian Thompson-Robinson's being off the field with an injury? Is there trouble brewing in Tuscaloosa? Mike Leech doesn't like candy corn (and Vanderbilt doesn't like scoring). Plus, is Justin Fuente's and Max Wells' time up?

| 0:33.0 | Yes. That's right. |
| 0:37.9 | The Pittsburgh Panthers took down the Clemson Tigers as Vegas predicted they would, |
| 0:43.7 | but they never do what they're supposed to do. |
| 0:45.8 | Max Olson joins, you thought it was going to be Ari, but no. |
| 0:48.9 | Ari's getting ready because he lost this bet, and he's going to have to prepare himself. |
| 0:53.3 | But Max, it happened. The people turning in, they want to hear R.E. Wine about this. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm here. I'd love to hear that too. I don't know. They're going to get all of that on Friday. I did some texting with R.E. on Saturday. And I learned. So for those who didn't listen to Friday, |
| 1:11.4 | so the stakes of the bet are this. |
| 1:14.8 | If pit covered, Ari had to take a shot of the liquor of his choice with mustard. |
| 1:21.3 | I assumed he was going to pick vodka because a vodka and mustard shot actually sounds |
| 1:26.1 | kind of tasty. |
| 1:27.4 | He claims he's going with |
| 1:29.5 | tequila max. What? Why? I guess he just likes tequila, but tequila and mustard do not |
