Mojo

One of the OGs back in the building. This is the earliest I've seen Mojo on.

Is that the new thing? Well, I demanded that.

Why does K-Funk have his on then?

Nein. Chris, was... Habt ihr 24 und 37 gesagt? Well, now it's 24-35, because I have to take two losses away.

What's Mojo at? Mojo has had an incredible season.

Except for one game. Horrible strategy.

Chris Gronkowski, it is very nice to have you back. Who are you taking here, sir? I mean, there's no way I can go after Funk.

Yeah, I know, we're still doing pics.

Man, this is a different Kate Funk than last year. That's all I know. He's a beaten man, yeah.

He's in debt. I've noticed that. I've only been on for half an episode and it's shining through. It's kind of sad.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. We do have all the NFL teams now as well. But Black Friday sale going down. Use code BLACKICE, 25% off. But Mojo, I was expecting something else out of you, man. Ich habe noch nie von seinem Promo-Spiel gehört. Die Jewelry ist weg, alles andere ist weg.

Ich freue mich darauf.

Hey, I appreciate the promotion.

God bless football.

Had he known the Jets were going to be available? He might have.

I don't think that's true. You don't?

When the Jets signed Robert Sala, he said, oh, yeah, Sam Darnold would be great here. Yeah. Until they get rid of him. You keep the guy who's in place happy until the next guy comes in.

I'm fighting the urge not to give him the finger because he's such a nice guy and he's here for a good cause, but at the same time, you hurt me for a long time.

Right down the middle fingers.

You mentioned Coach McMahon, who's been around a while. We're in the middle of the coaching carousel. Where are all the special teams coach getting head coaching jobs? How come none of them are getting any love?

What is this?

52-yarder.

I don't want to now. I'm going to do it.

How have you guys sort of embraced the road warrior mentality? I mean, you guys haven't gotten a chance to have that game at home. You guys are on the road again. How have you embraced that?

You guys still using that text chain?

We can host that one, too.

Yeah.

I was just going to ask Billy, what's the cutoff temperature for you to go to a game, Billy? Like, if you're like, I'm going to go to a game, but it has to be above this temperature. What's the line?

And he started to get into this on Monday because of all the snow games. Yeah.

You're in the stands. I'll put you in the 200s because you're not quite a 300s guy.

There's a 200 level without suites.

All right. So what's the line? What's the temperature line?

That was a bad call, though, right? That was a bad call.

It was nice of Taylor Swift to ask you, though.

I'll give you no elements.

I'll send you my video on once I know what the situation is.

Before I even know what this is, I will make it on record that Mike Rollis has a history of stabbing me in the back. I'm just saying it's on television.

Mojo, just let it happen, buddy.

Hold on right there. That would mean he would move into literal negative wins on the season. That's not even possible.

I still don't even know who picked what last week. I don't know how to respond to this right now.

I don't know what K-Funk picked. Can I just go and record a double or nothing to that right now?

Every single person in this Zoom is smiling except K-Funk. Just so you know. Just so for those who can't see it, everybody has a smile on their face except one.

Oh, my God. Wait, I went 12-1-1? You went 12-1-1 last week. The Threatmaster does it again. There was only four games played.

Oh, well.

Well, that's very wishful thinking, Carl Douglas. And I see you trying to do your thing here. But that's just unfortunately not the way the cookie crumbles. Because if you're just the lawyer, I'm the judge around these parts. is the one that signed off on this damn thing, then that stuff stands, at least as it pertains to Rollis and Funk.

The rest of you have a case here because, like myself, I didn't even know that this happened until about 35 seconds ago. That's the argument. However, Rollis is the one that let this happen, so he's eating that L. Let's go to Kay Funk.

Why would Rollins get some of my wins?

So you're only going to give him wins if it wins. And if it lost, he was going to get nothing.

I've been in first place all season.

And I've been going undefeated or 4-1 every week, so I don't know how the sudden water passed me because that – Wait a minute.

I'm fine with it. What happened to the integrity of this chat, man?

You guys are dividing Mojo's wins right now. You're taking Mojo's 10 wins. Yeah. And you're trying to allocate it amongst the rest of the chat because Mojo has been a dominant first place all year. And everyone's trying to take me down on Patrick Mahomes over here. That's what's happening.

Over and over. I would like to add one that was notarized.

This is the way we got to look at this, guys, because if we're talking about crowning our champion for the season, Mike Rollis gambled with my record willy-nilly with the intent of moving into the first place spot. That is why this whole 10-win, 10-loss thing happened.

That sounds like a yes to me.

He had his show.

There's a lot going on. He was very excited about that.

All right. Junior. You just said that too. That's rough.

So what are our final standings going in? This is going to carry water with these picks.

All right. Mojo? Just for clarification here, everyone has taken the Commanders except for Funk, who has taken the Eagles.

ShareBear also took the Eagles.

Well, for maybe the first time all season, I will be taking the commanders, obviously, to go opposite Funk, but also mainly because that story that Gordy kind of just told only partially really brought up some great memories of back in the day. And I will say, you got to have... some serious torque on a carpet in order to have no skin left on your body afterwards. You guys keep that to yourself.

This is good. Gather the entire Gronkowski family. I want them to hear this. I want the kids to hear this.

you guys look at me like i'm patrick mahomes because i win every year every season spread masters been on he's won and people are getting tired of it and they're all coming together and they're getting the refs and and everybody's trying to take me down so because i can feel what patrick mahomes is going through i'm not going with them because i'm not the patrick mahomes of this thing i'm not

This is the best player right now. I'm the Tom Brady of this thing. I'm the best player that's ever done this show ever. And I'm going to win another season. And because of that, and because funk took the chief, give me the bills.

Boom. Also, the lack of intelligence by both Mike Rallis and Funk. You guys gotta be smarter than this, cuz now Rallis, as the reigning defending first guy, we just took the same picks, my man. Well, hold on. There's no way for you to jump ahead of me.

It's a shame Fuentes left me out.

Every single thing. All of it.

Zip it up.

I think it's clear who's running stuff in Jacksonville now.

I mean, he showed up to an interview, goes, I don't like that guy. I'm not doing this. And they're like, well, we'll get rid of him. And he's like, okay, I'll do it.

He's clearly the man in Jacksonville now.

How long until they called Dabo?

The Jaguars were gone.

The Jaguars table off the table. The Jaguars gig off the table.

I'm feeling like I don't want to be a part of a K-Funk hosted show. I logged in late. Maybe I should log off early too.

Have your picks been that bad since I've been gone? I didn't think that could get any worse.

Yeah.

Well, again, yeah, we win every year.

Yeah.

I'm back. Well, now it's automatic then. We're batting 100 when I'm on the show.

He's an athlete. Did you get an MBA?

Yeah. It's right there. Also, Carl's a grandfather now, Mojo. Yeah.

All right, Mojo. Hold on. There's no way we're not doing the NFL this week. No, we're doing the NFL.

That's almost 500, dude. Congratulations. Mojo. This is your best week all season, dude. No wonder you wanted to move to college. You got to retire and go out on top.

All right, guys. Well, here's the thing. Mojo's a dad now. But just because I'm a dad, it doesn't mean that I've lost my mojo. And I'm taking this one back to season one kind of logic here. And here's the thing, guys. The Bengals are 6-8, meaning if they lose, they're going to be 6-9, which means I have no choice but to take the Browns.

He won that season.

I am checking my notes right now. All right. I was 4-1 too last week, to be clear. He has notes. That is true. He has notes. That's the worst part of this.

All right, guys, just because I'm a dad now, it doesn't mean that I've lost my mojo here. So the Colts are 6-8, which means if they lose, they go 6-9, 69. I'm taking the Titans.

Guys, just because I'm a dad now, it doesn't mean that I lost my Mojo and the Dallas Cowboys are 6-8, which means if they lose, they're going to be 6-9. Give me the Buccaneers because I'm 69.

It's my favorite week all season. This is the one week I wait for the entire year.

Guys, just because I'm a dad now, it does not mean that I've lost my mojo. The Saints are 5-9, which means if they win against my favorite team that I pick every single week on God Bless Football, they're going to be 6-9. So I got to put my love for 69 above my love for the Packers. Give me the Saints.

Guys, just because I'm a dad now. It doesn't mean that I've lost my mojo. This is it. This is our main event, our Super Bowl of this week, because both teams, everybody, both teams are 6-8 right now. And since I cannot... pick both teams to lose this game. If there was an option, I would gladly choose it. But it's not an option here.

This is a win-win for Mojo because somebody's going to be 69ing after this game. So with that logic in mind, there's only one logical move to make here today. And that move is, can anybody tell me?

Opposite funk. Opposite funk. everybody it's a surefire winner Funk coming off his best week at two and three still a losing week opposite Funk holds true all year he's become like a rock singer who stops singing and the crowd just picks it up you know there's a reason why this show wins sports podcast of the year all the time yep

Well, now that we did the 69 thing, I can, whatever you guys, we can pick bowling if you really need to, K-Funk.

I want to add something in here quick. I'm okay with us doing the college games, but they only count for the records if K-Funk actually does well. I just want to handicap this as much as possible. Wow. Yeah. We've been doing this all season. I don't know if he's actually noticed this or not.

Yeah. I got to go. I got to go. Okay, Funk, come on.

I'll make this quick for you. Penn State, Clemson, Ohio State.

James Franklin was my offensive coordinator in college now at Maryland.

Hey, Coach of Penn State, that's my guy.

Get him on the show.

Worst job with coin.

You got to put some voice inflection on or something, man. He's picked Penn State seven times.

Yes, I would like to... promote the Creston Logerman Lullaby Company. Anytime your child is fussy and needs to take a nap, have Creston host a podcast that will instantaneously put the child and everyone else in the room to sleep. Creston Logerman Lullaby Services. Check it out. That's nice. Is that it? That's all you got? And... Guys, everybody listening at home, the band is back together.

That's right, and we're going for Sports Podcast of the Year. Last year, we took a year off. We didn't have the team back together, but this year. The team has been back and it's so much energy, so much excitement, suspense, love. We have all the categories here on this one show. And that is why you need to get up off your asses and vote for this show.

God bless football as the sports podcast of the year. If you don't. This is it for this group. We're never coming back together. We're drawing a line in the sand. We're done. You'll never see me and Funk on the same show ever again. So if you want this trash talk, put your money where your mouth is and go cast your vote. Fellas, where do they go to vote?

God bless football.

yeah but you're naked oh mojo it's so good to see you i've been listening backstage for about 10 minutes now with inability to say anything okay so listen mojo hold on don't say another word the floor is yours i want all your thoughts on everything you heard over the last 10 minutes go ahead

Well, yeah, I guess putting football aside for a minute, I heard a whole conversation about $500,000 and fake cheating on your spouse or something. I don't know. I came in like halfway through that, so I have a lot of questions on that front. But I don't care about any of that right now because I think the thing I want to start with is just an apology and a thank you from Kay Funk.

Yeah, you know, I think I earned that. I stuck up for him last week. I gave him a chance. I mean, honestly, it's probably worse in the end because I let him pick opposite Mojo, which is suicide. That's a terrible idea with how Mojo, the spread master, picked. But it did open the floor for us to throw this in his face one more time. We almost missed the opportunity to do that.

But, Funk, you're welcome, pal. I just would like to hear the words.

Yeah, that was a tough one. I should have realized that as a married man and a father now that the 69 jokes have expired my window there. I should have gone a different way on that one. You live and you learn.

Okay, well. Are you hearing this? If you lose, it doesn't count. If I lose, it counts triple. Like, what am I offering you right now? It's odd. Free play. It's like free play. Goodness gracious, dude. Have some respect here.

I'll say this.

It is most definitely not a wash.

You know what? Can we do we have fact checkers on the show? Because I'd be very curious, like if we looked at all the sports podcasts in the world, if there's a person on the planet that is picked worse than Kay Funk, because I don't think that person exists.

In any sport, in picking anything. It doesn't even have to be sport related.

Correct. And then last season, I was number one. I think correct.

Is that notebook also your diary? Worry about it. How disappointed you are in yourself and your picks every week?

Remember the week we were really nice to him? Yeah. He didn't like that either. He lost every game.

I would say that this isn't anything like that because at least your handstand bumps were kind of bad. Like funk is pure full bad. It's not, there is no kind of, it's just all the way in. Huh?

Also, just a heads up here. Write that down. I have to hop off in two minutes, unfortunately. So it goes without saying that all of my picks this week will be opposite Funk. Unless Funk needs me to pick first so he can go opposite me.

Wait, Funk, say it again. You need me to do the picks so you can go opposite? You're scared to make your own picks? Is that what you're saying? Just make your picks for second time of the season.

Funk, left or right?

Say left or right. I only have a minute. Say left or right. I'm not playing this game. Go ahead. Say left or right.

Middle. Meet me halfway.

Oh, that's what I'm doing. You're right. There you go. Even though, wow, that kind of, I don't like to pick against the Ravens, but whatever. I don't care.

I'm trying to give you an opening here, dude. I just went five and one.

Okay. Then I'll go the other side. I don't care.

All right.

You didn't have to give him that. He was going to produce that on his own. That's what he does. We have a whole season's worth of results to back that up. Mathematical factual statement. Carl Douglas, that would be an open-shut case if he was in a quarter wall.

What's Jay Funk's notebook going to say is my question.

It's going to say he didn't show up and we gave him an 0-6. That's what it's going to say.

Considering he's the one that individually texts us every single hour of every single day leading into the show every week.

You have perfect attendance.

Chargers at Texans. Ooh. Give me Sean Merriman and the Chargers, baby. All right.

what's the last time he's playing he's playing this weekend right i think he's day-to-day but it's it's trending that way yeah been questionable since oh four all right uh mojo steelers at raven raven that's a big ass spread too but the spread master ain't scared baltimore all day steelers are having a really really good run right now

I'm going to take the Bills because they're going to have to make a statement win here this week to kick off the players playoffs. But I'm mostly going to take the Bills because the first time you might have to censor me on this afterwards, depending on what Gord says is best. But the first time I went over to the Gronkowski family household, they had a massive, massive party going on. Go figure.

And they introduced me to the game of slip and flip. If you're not familiar with this game, you do a sprint, you dive, you slide down a slip and slide. Theirs was literally 40 yards long. It's the longest one I've ever seen. Then you get up, you have to do a flip cup at the end of the line. Then baton style, you have to sprint all the way back to the beginning and

tag in the next guy, and it's a relay race of who's going to win. That's slip and flip. So I'm watching this, and I'm like, this is awesome. I can't wait to play this. There's an athletic component. There's a party component. I'm in.

I decided not to because someone decided that everyone was going to go in for a round of shots, and one of their buddies, who will remain nameless, stayed out at the slip and slide and used the bathroom at the top of the slip and slide. So that way, when they resumed the game, they would be sliding right through it, which I thought was very funny. So because of that.

Gordy's face looks like he hasn't heard this yet.

And he slid through a bunch of things.

Yeah. Well, unless Gord was the one that did it.

We don't know. We don't know. Hmm.

And yeah, I thought that was pretty awesome. So I'll take Buffalo.

Yeah. I'll go with it.

That is a good line, dude. Wow. That was incredible. And it's true too. Mojo, who are you taking here? Eagles minus four and a half. Here's what Mojo's going to do. Mojo's going to flip the script today. The Packers broke an 11-game win streak against the Chicago Bears, who suck all the asses. Our arch rival. Very much upsetting, Mojo. Now, you would think that that would beat

the message into their head to flip this thing around for the playoffs, but I'm not sure it's enough right now. So I'm going to take the Eagles against the Packers for the first time all season, knowing that every single member of the Packers football team listens to God bless football to hear the spread master call their name every week.

And when they hear that I took the other guys, they're going to be so pissed off to prove me wrong. that they're absolutely going to smash the Eagles' face in. So that's what I'm doing.

Maybe that's why he's not sharing who it is. Maybe it's not even exciting for the show. We don't know who it is. But we'll try and get him on the show next week.

You know, Mojo's name used to be Dean. Way less exciting.

That's true. That's true. And Dean didn't party. Dean studied late. Dean went to bed early. Dean did all the right things.

Once Dean met Mojo. gordon gronkowski gordon dean gronkowski jr in washington dc that's when the journey to mojo began and because of that reason i'm taking washington right yeah are you saying that are you saying dean's a dad but mojo is not is that what you're saying Well, no, because Mojo is probably more times over a dad than Dean actually is.

Well, we don't know this. Mojo parties. Dean does not party. Dean is a father.

All right, guys. Well, it's New Year's. Everybody's got to get back in shape. We got to do this thing one step at a time. And to do that, you're going to have to go out there and get the best fitness equipment on the planet. G&G Fitness, Gronk Fitness. You just got to go out there. If you want the gear that the champions use, then that's what you got to do. So check us out. G&G Fitness.

Let's go, baby. Let's go.

I,

Go. Right. Exactly.

I think a large audience, you have Levitard scripting out the first segment. Is that, is that the way you have the show? Yeah.

It's really what you represent, and what you represent is something that he hates, and that's the draft.

No, because you represent something he hates.

Oh yeah. Oh, I love a good cry. Oh. I didn't cry when I got laid off. You didn't.

Who'd you lean on in terms of making this decision? Was Mel involved at all?

Wow. No, no. He knew. Listen, we needed it. He gave it to us. And now you have to.

Yeah, I do. People care. But Billy, that was the timing was perfect.

Listen, not everything on my body is for free, okay?

They should enjoy it now because it ain't going to be there for long. Why not? I mean, because he's headed to Ohio State next year. He's going to take a bigger job. I mean, come on. Why would he stay in Indiana?

A guy that they didn't know about two years ago. Wait, guys, Ryan Day is 56 and 8. He is 56 and 8. It's unbelievable.

As long as he beats Michigan, though, Todd, that's all that matters.

Todd McShay is with us. The McShay Show, a new show, part of The Ringer, and wherever you get your podcast, it is available. I am wondering here, Todd, how you had the quarterbacks ranked last year, headed into the draft, and would you re-rank them differently now that you've seen them play seven or eight games?

Yes.

Yes.

I said it this morning. You can argue that easily, by the way. I mean, Washington was a disaster before he got there.

Todd, another guy that was ready and he surprised me. And I'm wondering where you had him, like how you had him rated is Bo Nix. He's been good. Bo Nix has been very good this year.

Really?

Yes. And he believes in him. So that's, that's also a big part of it. We're, we're wondering because we were talking earlier today about Jared golf, like the MVP, Jaden Daniels. It could also be Jared golf. Did you have golf being this good?

Yep.

Amazing.

We'll get you out of here in a second. We appreciate the time. Where does Ewers fall into that? Is he a first-round pick? Ewers...

It was me. It wasn't Kuyper. It was me. Exactly.

So good, man. The McShay Show, it is a part of The Ringer. It's available wherever you get your podcast, three days a week. You look happy, man. You really do. And I'm happy for you. We're all happy for you. So good luck with the new show. We're here for you whenever you need us because you have been there for us in our show. So we appreciate you, man. Good luck with it.

It is time for this week's edition of Studio Gout presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. College football week 10, 8 and 5 a week ago, 46, 38 and 2 on the season. Pretty good. Here we go. Got a bunch of games. USF at FAU. USF is minus two and a half.

All right. Well, I appreciate you saying that, man. Good luck with the show. And I know it's going to be great. And we look forward to having you on more often, man.

Yo, boys, what's up? Billy decided he had more important things to do than, you know, do our show and spend a little time with our friend Chris Sims, huh? Wow. What's he got to do today? What's he doing? I don't know. Halloween stuff, I guess.

Yeah, well, hold on. Mikey, he's got this all wrong. You think I'm Billy's boss? I mean. Well, I mean, you're higher up, I think.

Well, I am higher up, but Billy doesn't listen to a word I say. Like, no, that's not how it works around here.

You feel like you're personally offended, and you should be, yes. Yep.

BFD with Mike Florio every day on Peacock, the Up Button Podcast, Football Night in America. Mikey A and I were discussing right before you came on Anthony Richardson and him tapping out and saying he's tired and God forbid a guy who runs that physically says he's tired for, I mean, Jesus, the NFL. Everyone climbed down his back. What were your thoughts on that whole thing? Because

I think Joe Flacco is the better quarterback, is the better option, gives them the better chance to win. But that's a weird way to get yourselves back to Joe Flacco.

Maybe Cam Newton.

I am taking South Florida. They win. They cover USF by 10 points on the road. Arkansas plus seven. Take it on Mississippi. Buy it up to seven and a half. Mississippi wins. Arkansas covers. Mississippi by four points at home. Army minus 22. Take it on the Air Force. Army wins. They cover. They win by 28 points. And they continue their march towards a playoff bid. Vanderbilt plus seven at Auburn.

Yeah, but, Mike, yeah, he's so right about that. No one can make two quarters of bad quarterback play go away with a single throw like Anthony Richardson.

Chris, what'd you make of how well Jameis Winston played last week?

Chris, they're 2-6. They take on the Chargers. When you say they're going to be dangerous, you're not thinking playoff dangerous, are you?

Do you expect the Ravens, because they got Deontay Johnson, but they need defense, you're right, and they have one of those kind of losses every... year, man. They have losses like that usually in the playoffs. They're getting them out of their system now. But do you expect them to get some defensive help before the deadline?

Auburn. I don't like them. I thought they were going to be good headed into the season. You know what? They're not. I thought Vandy was going to be bad. They're not. I'm taking Vandy here. They win the game outright. Buy it up to seven and a half. I don't know why I'm telling you to do that when I have them winning the game outright. But do it anyways. Vandy wins by four points on the road.

I think John Horvath would tell both of us. He would tell both of us, Kyle Hamilton catches that pass. We win that game. You're not saying what you're saying right now.

Sims, walk us through the final play of Commanders Bears last weekend. Like, just walk us through what's going on in your head, like what you're saying. You're in the studio. You're watching that game unfold. He throws a 65-yard, 70-yard Hail Mary. There's a guy celebrating off to the side who's not prepared for the play. What were Chris Sims' thoughts as that whole thing unfolded?

Because Jaden Daniels, man, he might be the MVP of the NFL this year.

The commanders are so bad for so long, and the difference is Jaden Daniel.

NC State minus 10 at home. Take it on Stanford. Stanford's awful. Buy it down to 9.5. Take NC State. The Wolfpack win by 14 points at home. Syracuse, plus 4. Ticket on Virginia Tech. Buy it up to 4.5. Virginia Tech wins the game. Syracuse covers. Virginia Tech by a field goal. Buffalo, minus 1 at Akron. Buffalo wins and covers. Buffalo. by 14 points on the road.

What's worse? The Stevenson crap or tap it out. Anthony Richardson. I mean, come on.

I mean, why is Stevenson still playing? Huh? I mean, yeah.

Mikey, here's the deal. You're not allowed to be tired in the NFL, or at least you're not allowed to acknowledge it publicly. Not as a quarterback. You can be tired.

So, yes, you can't do that. Does any other excuse work there? Like, hey, the shoulder pad kind of fell out of place. I had to get it back in.

Yeah.

Mike, you'd be odd if the shoes untied and then they announce, hey, we're going with Joe Flacco. You can't really do that.

Yeah, he's been good.

Nebraska, minus six, take it on UCLA. They are bad. Nebraska, I have no idea if they're good. Whenever I have a team and I don't know if they're any good versus a bad team, I take the team that I don't know is any good. Nebraska, they win, they cover 14 points over UCLA at home. Navy, I have not given up on you. Minus ten and a half. They're at Rice. Buy it down to ten. Navy wins and covers.

Chris, the biggest play of that game, the best play of that game, in my opinion, and the play that ended up winning them the game, and this is why Kyler Murray is so good, was that third down run by Murray. That was such a great – like he's one of – I don't know how many quarterbacks can make that play, but he's one of them, man.

Does Kyler look taller when he's playing well?

Chris, just back to the Bears. I know you picked them this week. You think they'll beat Arizona. But Caleb Williams last week, just 24 pass attempts. Like, it's time to take the training wheels off. Let the kid play.

Navy by 17 points on the road. Texas A&M might be the best team in the country. They're going to South Carolina. They win. They cover. It's minus two. The Aggies by ten points on the road. And finally, big game of the weekend. Peyton SMU. That's right, Pitt and SMU. You heard me correctly. It's the big game this weekend. I'm taking Pitt here. SMU is a seven-point favorite.

Buy it up to seven and a half. SMU's going to win the game. Pitt's going to cover. SMU by four points at home. NFL, week eight, season flying by. I say it every year. Four, three, and one a week ago. I am on a heater. 36-22-2 on the season. Falcons, minus 2.5, take it on the Cowboys. Atlanta wins. They cover the Falcons by 10 points over the Cowboys. Bills, minus 6, take it on the Dolphins.

Chris, a couple of quick ones. We'll get you out of here.

Me and Mikey were talking right before you came on. We were talking a lot before you came on. Jalen Hurts, sneaky good year. Sneaky good year, Chris. Yeah.

There's no doubt about that, Stu Gatz. The Rams are getting healthy here. They're getting their receivers back. Are you going to be surprised if the Rams win the NFC West?

The Bills, they might be the best team in the NFL, not named the Chiefs. They might be. They win, they cover. Bills by 14 points over the Dolphins. Bengals, minus 7. Take it on the Raiders. Buy it down to 6.5. Cincinnati wins, and they cover. Cincinnati by 14 points at home. Commanders, minus 4. At the Giants. Giants, terrible. Buy it down to 3.5. Washington wins by 7 points.

If I tell you everyone's healthy, are you telling me that San Francisco is the best team top to bottom NFC? Or is it Detroit?

There's no way we were letting you get out of here without asking you this. Judd, Volpe, Garrett Cole, or Aaron Boone? Who is Chris Simms most angry with today?

Boone, he's not out there playing in the field.

They cover the spread. Arizona, minus 1.5. Take it on the Bears. Arizona wins. They cover. They get the record to 5-4. Arizona wins. By seven points at home. Rams getting healthy at the right time. Minus one at Seattle. Rams win and they cover. Rams by seven points on the road. And finally, the Colts plus six. Take it on the Vikings. Vikings win the game. Colts cover.

Are you saying when the bullpen phone rings and someone picks up, the guy on the other end is Brian Cashman?

We blew it. Well, listen, at least you could enjoy Soto in a Mets uniform, all right?

You're mad at the Yankees now for making it to the World Series?

Crazy, crazy s***. BFT with Mike Florio every day on Peacock. The Unbuttoned Podcast. Check them out there at Football Night in America. A good game coming up this weekend. Chris, we appreciate it. I'm sorry to send you into your weekend in a very bad and angry mood. So my apologies there. Any parting shots for one Billy Gill on your way out here?

Was that his name?

Vikings by three points at home. I'm taking the Colts. Those are the picks, everyone. Good luck. We're very happy for you. You have joined our friend Bill Simmons over at The Ringer. Your new show is out, The McShay Show. And we were laughing about the title of the show. It's cleverly named, but we were wondering what was second and third place.

Mojo, are you – so someone explain this to me well, okay? Mojo, are you saying there's a possible connection to the two fans amongst this group, Gordy in particular, that there is a connection to the two fans who helped the Yankees win game four?

Is that the – What I'm saying is whoever casts God Bless Football does such an amazing job. The fact that they were able to procure both Mojo and Gordon Gronkowski Jr., For the show, it's the gift that just keeps on giving. The associations are endless. I got a text from TMZ this morning and they were asking me, Mojo, do you know who Austin Papio Blanco or something is? And I said, no, who's that?

They're like, you're literally Facebook friends with him. So then I looked it up and my mutual friends. Gordy, Chris G, Rob G, Glenn G, Dan G, Big G, and all the other Gs. So I don't remember this gentleman, but getting my detective hat on, I can just, by deductive reasoning, assume that Gordy and I probably partied with this guy about 50 times and just don't remember it whatsoever.

All right, so Gordy, do you have any recollection at all or no?

Oh, get out of here. I mean, Gord, send him a text right now and see if he wants to come on, okay? He's a hero, all right? Tell him he's a hero.

There's three links on this gentleman's Facebook page, one of which is hottestcollegeparties.com. Oh, wow. All right. Let's make sure that's not – page isn't available right now, so maybe that's old.

Yes, yes.

I don't know whether to take offense to that or not, Mikey. No, just be who you are.

Just be who you are.

We love you. Be who you are.

Yeah, don't take offense to that. Why would you take offense to that?

CollegeMansion.com, Gordy.

Yeah, that was garbage. I guess you're right. We have a history of this. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. All right, so who's going to reach out to this guy? I mean, someone can send me the number, and I'll reach out to the person. Hold on.

Oh, my God. You're the best, Gordy.

Gordy, you're driving.

All right, Billy was just getting— Well, at least he spends with all the cops at the police station, so if he gets pulled over, he's good.

Billy, did you hear what they were talking about as you were getting set up there, the connection to the two Yankee heroes?

The Spreadmaster is 14-1 over three weeks with the only loss... being missing the spread by one point with my own green Bay Packers who still won the game. And I just don't know if I am feeling better about being 14 and one, which put that record up against anyone in the country. Yeah. Or the world, really. I'm the spread master, so I'm the master of the spread. You are.

But I think what makes me even happier than that is the fact that Gay Funk has won in 14 over the last three weeks. Yeah. But in conjunction, this has created the most beautiful thing to ever happen to sports betting.

When you guys were figuring out, congratulations on the show, Todd, and thank you for joining us. When you guys were figuring out a name of the show, what were the other options?

Yes, no doubt about it. How can you say you're not 1-14? He goes opposite. Because I'm not. Because I'm not 1-14. But if he's 14-1, you have to be 1-14. No, he's not. Guys, he's absolutely not 1-14. He's 1-15. Oh, sorry. He keeps losing those. Those count. Yeah.

Everyone did awesome except for Funk then last week.

I gave Gordy a 5-0 last week. I didn't get that option.

All right. I will tell you this. If Gordie gets a hold of the Yankee fan, Gordie gets five and O's the rest of the time. Okay? I mean, that's it. Billy.

Billy. I would like to add a little bit of color here, guys.

Well, it's not settled yet. It's not settled yet.

Also, this is God bless football. This isn't God bless baseball. Go to the wrong show.

You're so mad, dude. Look how mad you are, bro.

I got to read a text thread here. Now that I allowed Funk to say his piece, I just want to highlight that it wasn't just Funk making awful, not awful, the worst picks. It was also me making perfect picks because Kay Funk texted me Wednesday, October 23rd at 1.06 p.m. And he sent me his picks. And I said, I responded, this is right here. I can prove it to you. There it is. I wrote perfect.

I was actually going to take the opposite. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And I said legit. You already posted on the show. It's out there. I was going to take those picks anyways. Documented. I'm sure you were, buddy.

I just texted. I texted this a week ago. So it was days before the games actually happened.

Exactly. Starting to feel bad for K-Funk. I am too, actually. He looks like he hasn't slept in a month. He does.

Drink your coconut water, K-Funk.

I've won every single season that I've done on this show. I think that's true. No, he hasn't. Okay, every full season. It doesn't count if I show up for two weeks and then someone else makes my picks the rest of the season.

He's undefeated, man. He's undefeated. Give him his credit.

Multitasking, yeah. Gordy, do you have the number, the cell phone number?

I'm leaving this to Mojo and Gordy. If Gordy wants to get a hold of him, Gordy will get a hold of him. That's it. And Mojo wants to get a hold of him, he'll get a hold of him. We'll get a hold of him. We'll expect him on next week.

He hasn't been on his Facebook since 2018, though, so we're going to have to find a different one.

Well, let's make sure we're all good with this. Mojo, are you good with this? We need to stay within the sport of football. You know, I'll even say it too. If we need to make this college. Just to get Kay Funk back. It's not even fun anymore, right? I'm worried about ratings because it's so lopsided.

Let's just have a quick vote here, though.

Mojo, yes or no?

As long as it stays within the sport of football, I don't care if it's like high school football, if it's like ankle biters for under 70 pounds, like whatever helps.

So that's a yes from Mojo. Are you good with this, yes or no?

Gordy looks very stressed driving. That's what Boston and driving will do to you in that city. Gordy, yes or no? Simple yes or no?

Okay, there we go. Okay, there we have it. We're doing it, all right? ShareBear, ask Underdog what she thinks and get back to us on it, all right?

Guys, can I add another thing here? Of course you can. It's your show, Mojo. Go ahead. Mike, is that okay? Maybe we all make our picks first, but we allow Kay Funk to have until, like, Sunday 10 a.m. to adjust his picks. Third quarter. I don't know. Third quarter of the game.

So now you're on his side, huh? I'm just trying to help him here, guys. By the two-minute warning, fourth quarter, you can change your picks, okay? Do that.

I mean, Mojo's figured it out, right? And plus, K-Funk, we're all making the picks at the same time. Yeah. With the same information.

I mean, Underdog figured it out.

Yeah. I don't even know what teams are picking usually when this happens.

But his larger point is correct in that we're picking games on a Wednesday that play on Sunday and things change. So I understand what you're saying. There's nothing we can do about it.

I wish I was. You should. You keep lobbing him up for him, K-Funk. He's going to spike it every time.

Guys, if he does not, you need to get... We need to get somebody on the show next week because it might get bad if he has another week like this.

Can I do all five of mine real quick? Yes, Gord needs to go. Gordy, Commanders at Giants, Giants plus three and a half at home. Who are you taking?

All right, so you're taking the Commanders?

All right, Bears at Cardinals, Cardinals minus one. Arizona.

Lions at Packers. Packers plus three and a half. Who you got?

Yeah, plus three and a half at home.

All right. Colts at Vikings. Vikings are minus five at home. Colts going with Joe Flacco.

Okay. Buccaneers at Chiefs. Chiefs are undefeated. They are minus eight and a half at home. Take it on. Baker, Mayfield, and the Bucs.

Gordy, we appreciate it. Get to wherever it is you're going.

Great job, K-Punk. Yep. Good job with the kids. Yeah, Gordy, get the Yankee fans on next week if you can. All right, absolutely. Okay, that'd be fun.

Hey, guys, actually, I got to run, too. I got to run in one minute. All right.

You ready?

Obviously, K-Punk. Wait, wait. Do I even have to say it?

No, no, you don't. You're good. You want to promote anything on the way out, though, Mojo?

My man! Here we go, baby. Opposite bunk for my picks. And to promote today, Once Upon a Coconut, guys. 100% all-natural coconut water. 100% juice. The best stuff on the planet. Endorsed by the whole show here. Check it out. Once Upon a Coconut. And, again, if it goes bad for Funk, we need to have a therapist ready for next week's show. We do. We'll get a therapist.

It's getting scary in here, guys.

It's a great idea, actually. It's a great idea.

It's not just because it's Halloween.

Like, I'm very scared over here for Funk.

All right. All right, Mojo, we appreciate it. We know you have places to go, people to meet. So we appreciate it, buddy. Thank you.

Funk, I appreciate you. Thanks for being so bad at your picks. We're having a great time with this. Love you, buddy. You're welcome. I got you this week, too. You're good. Okay.

And you were right, by the way. I mean.

All right.

Let's get to the picks. ShareBear going to you. Billy, do you have Carl's picks?

All right. So, Commanders at Giants. Giants are plus three and a half before we get to ShareBear. Who did Carl Douglas take, Billy? Carl has the Commanders. All right. ShareBear, who are you taking?

All right. And K-Funk, who are you taking, which will dictate whose mojo is taking?

I like that. Right, he's due. I like that. All right. Bears at Cardinals. Cardinals are minus one. K-Funk, who are you taking?

I love it. I love it. I love it. I'm going Funk.

Yeah.

K-Funk.

It's like taking a dollar price is right. It's like dollar, you know? I'll protect him. I leave. Okay, fuck. You need a friend, man. I mean, share bearer. This is an alliance.

Who is Carl Douglas taking this game? Billy Carl has the bears of this game. All right, let's go to a lions and Packers. Good game. Big game Packers plus three and a half at home. Go ahead. Okay. Fuck. Are you taking, I'll take the pack at home.

No, there's not. Well, yesterday you won. But Billy, you had another suggestion, right, for titles?

Who does Carl have? Carl has the Lions. Okay, let's go to K-Fuck. I'm starting with you every time, so you know. Let's go to Colts and Vikings. Vikings, minus five at home, coming off a loss. Colts go with Joe Flacco. K-Fuck, who are you taking?

Wow.

Carl. Who's Carl taking? Carl has the Vikings in that one. Okay. Final game, boys. Bucs and Chiefs. Chiefs minus eight and a half points at home. Chiefs are undefeated. Who are we taking here, K-Fuck?

K-Funk, do you want to go Chiefs here or what? I'll give you one chance.

Listen, your dog is Share Bear. Carl's in this for himself.

I am certain, Todd, that you had... Are you guys drunk, by the way?

We are drinking Smirnoff. World's number one vodka.

Listen, you try being a Jets fan, okay? You'd be getting hammered on a Monday at noon as well, okay? You spent your day yesterday watching the Jets lose in person. Is that correct?

Yeah. How was that?

I know Jerry very well.

Right. Uh, kudos to your son for acting like he owns the joint. I like that.

Yes. Yes. But you're his dad, not me. So yeah.

I'm wondering how you ended up, how this deal came to fruition. You with the ringer. I'm excited for you. I'm just wondering how it all came about.

Yeah.

So we're happy for you. It seems like a life choice, though, right? Like this was a life choice.

Yes.
