This is an IHeart podcast.

You know the fork in the road moment that a lot of you have come to in their lives, maybe even this past week. I don't know what's going on in a good question, right? It's happening for a lot of times this weekend. If you think about some of these games, what are we? We're week eight, right? So we're midway through October. We're week eight. Some of you have already had one of your bye weeks. Some of your out of your by weeks. And you're sitting there and you're five and one or you're like six and two. Maybe you're even three and three, but you can get hot in the second half. And the point is, this is not Major League Baseball. We don't play 162 games. So the outcome of one game, in some cases, the outcome of one

kick at the end of one game this Saturday could take you from, we're about to get hot, to

let's fire this dude, burn it down, and just start all over. That is the beauty and the nightmare

that is college football, which is why I love it. It's the best sport in the world.

We're jam-packed. We're high atop of festive downtown Nashville, Tennessee, tonight on this Thursday,

October 17th, the Year of Our Lord, 24, proudly brought to you by Academy of Sports and Outdoors.

It's Thursday. You know what that means. It means upset alerts, and not just your standard upset alerts,

people, not just Oregon standard upset alerts people not just

Oregon you better watch out for the spoiler makers no this is the upset alert meter scale of

one to 10 what are we feeling here hmm jp poll and fan duel there have been some allegations

out there that they are one in the same but they are not they are not so much so that I will prove it I will prove it on tonight's show because the j are one and the same, but they are not. They are not so much so that I will

prove it. I will prove it on tonight's show because the J.P. Poll and the model, which are one

and the same, will actively fight Fanduel, our betting odds partner on this show. And it is

non-sanction. FanDuel does not know about this yet. The second half is upon us, and I got some teams that maybe our audience hasn't forgotten because we're a bunch of diehards, but the casual college football public has forgotten about these teams. They've just tossed them on the scrap peep, and the thing about it is they're still moving, they're still alive, and in some cases they may catch a little second wind in the second half. I just don't want you to be taken off guard. I got Cole Kublich coming up in about 30-ish minutes. And I already recorded the segment with Kublich, and it's really good. I'd give it a solid B-plus, Jesse and Colin, B-to-B-plus, which, I mean, you know, grading on the cube curve is a solid A-minus in everyone else's book.

They're watching us in Johnson City, Tennessee, Sienna, Italy, beautiful this time of year.

Austin, Texas, the place to be.

Some say in college football this weekend, in Pueblo, Colorado, mind you, I will be in Knoxville this Saturday. I am actually driving there

right after the show ends tonight. It's nice to not have to get on a plane this weekend. Friday night

lines will emanate from Knoxville tomorrow night. Reminder, I don't do that on the YouTube channel.

I only do that on the Instagram channel. At Lake Kick Josh, make sure you're following. I think we'll probably do it at halftime of the Oregon-Purdue game. Don't quote me on that. I'll finalize that tomorrow. Make sure you're following on all the socials. But that's the only place you can get that, guys. It is the most fun that I have, including the show itself, out of anything we do all week. So it's only about 20 minutes long. It's live. It's interactive. I just look at the live chat. I got the model pulled up in front of me. I tell you which games we're betting on. I add like three or four best bets during that, but I take your questions and I give you the model's opinion on games I'm not even betting on. So it's a really fun time. At Lake Kick Josh, make sure you're following. All righty. Week 8, upset alerts, it's going to happen.

We're just trying to figure out where it's going to happen. For instance, did you know that Texas
