This is VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

**Chris Fallica** (0:09)
The numbers told the story, they always do. Swando's idiots who believe in analytics.

**Gill Alexander** (0:13)
This is a numbers game with Gill Alexander on VSiN. Good Friday morning to you, it is a numbers game at VSiN, the SportsBetting Network, vsin.com game, plus iHeartRadio, YouTube TV. And of course, SiriusXM Channel 158 is Gill Alexander. That right there is Kelley Bydlon.
Patton.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:31)
Nada mucho, Gill.

**Gill Alexander** (0:33)
You good?

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:33)
I'm great. Fantastic Friday morning.

**Gill Alexander** (0:36)
Yeah, man.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:36)
Danny's last day.

**Gill Alexander** (0:38)
Danny Higgins' last day.

**Paul Carr** (0:39)
That's how I remember his day.

**Gill Alexander** (0:40)
I'm genuinely, here, look, selfishly, selfishly, selfishly, genuinely bummed.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:47)
Of course. He's been a major part of the show over the past year.

**Gill Alexander** (0:51)
As his friend, good for him.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:54)
Absolutely. We're happy for him.

**Gill Alexander** (0:55)
Do your thing. But it's Danny Higgins' last day. So if things start to go wrong on Monday, you'll know why.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:02)
That's right. And if you're here for contest weekend and you hope to run into Danny.

**Gill Alexander** (1:07)
That's right. Nope.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:08)
Go on. No chance. I think he's got the cars packed in the garage. I'm pretty sure as soon as this show ends, he is on his way to Montana.

**Gill Alexander** (1:17)
Ghosts out of here. Again, people should look into the whereabouts of Ivo Jovic. Supposed to be at the US Open. Maybe she's in Montana. Just saying. Yeah, we'll see. Could be. On the show today, Paul Carr, Prem Picks. I think he went two and one in the debut, the debut of Premier League Picks this year. But you know what the one loss was? Oh, I do.
Whole city.
Two and one, and we'll take the two and one every week, though. Chris Fallica, triumphant return to the show today after what feels like it's about a month off from the show. Chris is back from his Alaskan cruise with his lovely wife, college football, soccer, horse racing. Fallica is just ready to fire. And he's going to be actually, he's going to do two segments where there's actually come a segment early, like Crack did yesterday is going to come at, well, later this hour. And then he'll bleed over into the next hour. Jason Liskin Studio for Survivor Talk. Jason List from Bet Labs. Going to talk Survivor. These guys wrote the book on Survivor.
Not the actual book, but you know what I mean. Figuratively speaking. All his tenants in Survivor. Jason comes armed. And then it is Fezik Fridays starring Steve Fezik, who are he and Brad Powers fake fighting or are they actually fighting on Twitter?

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:33)
Oh my God, that's such a great question because I've caught like a couple of those.

**Paul Carr** (2:36)
I never know. I don't know.

**Gill Alexander** (2:38)
They have the strangest relationship.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:39)
Yeah, I don't really know Brad that well. So yeah, I've thought the same thing.

**Gill Alexander** (2:43)
I don't know. We'll get to the bottom of that. Anyway, Stevie Stevie has week one NFL play.
I don't know if it's plural. I was about to say plays, but I know it's at least one. He's got season long thoughts, which sound awfully familiar to stuff. We've been saying a hundred times here. But, you know, with Stevie, it becomes his thought.

**Paul Carr** (3:00)
You know what I'm just realizing?

**Kelley Bydlon** (3:01)
Did I miss the Steve novel text message?

**Gill Alexander** (3:03)
Oh, yeah, he just sent it to me because he I don't know. Maybe he didn't know you were coming back. Yeah. So he gave me a hint of what he's talking about. It's, oh god, he's got thoughts on college football, whole bunch of stuff from Fezik today. I mean, he's all over the place. So we'll talk to him in the final hour of the show today as well.
Can we give a shout before we get into also, can we give a shout to Stormy, the great Stormy Bonatoni, co-host of Money Moves here on the network. Did you see this tweet she put out?

**Kelley Bydlon** (3:32)
Sure did. That kind of went viral.

**Gill Alexander** (3:35)
Kind of. She has like 7 million views on this thing. And she was very curious.
She just said, by the way, if you and I do the same tweet, we get maybe 3000 views each. With Stormy, we got 7 million.

**Kelley Bydlon** (3:48)
As much as I love Stormy, this is not the first time I've seen this type of thing tweeted. But it's Stormy and it took off.
