The numbers told the story, they always do.

**Steve Fezzik** (0:11)
Swando's idiots who believe in analytics. This is a Numbers Game with Gil Alexander on VSiN.

**Dustin Swedelson** (0:21)
Coming at you from the Circus Sportsbook, downtown Las Vegas, I'm Dustin Swedelson. He's Kelley Bydlon. It is Numbers Game VSiN, SportsBetting Network. Appreciate Gil Alexander, the normal host of this program, checking in here as a, that was a weird Bizarro world.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:35)
Yeah, that was odd. That was weird.

**Dustin Swedelson** (0:37)
Gil appearing as a guest on his show. I'm here and I'm not filling in for, I'm not filling in for you. I'm filling in for him. And somehow he's a part of the conversation.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:46)
I also like that it's, it's more of the Bizarro. It just felt like too short of a phone call or something, right? You're like, hey, wait, I'm not done talking to you. I usually talk to you for longer.

**Dustin Swedelson** (0:54)
I would tell you, there's no such thing as too short of a phone call. I love a good two-minute phone call.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:00)
Love that.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:00)
I mean, like honestly, two minutes is too long. I love the there's a joke there. Yeah, there was actually wasn't intentional that time.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:08)
It was figured it was the I love the people that don't mess around at all. Like just the it's the old get the answer you need and then hang up. Right. Okay.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:15)
All right. Talk to you later. Here's the dichotomy of my life. My father is very much a phone person. The conversation is I mean, he'll let it go forever.
I mean, legitimately, you can't and his favorite topic. Small talk loves weather and gas prices.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:32)
Oh, God.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:33)
Weather and gas prices.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:34)
Oh, God.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:34)
Two favorite things.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:35)
My my my pops.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:37)
I can't handle it. That's why I have high blood pressure and eating habits. But that too.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:40)
Yeah, I hear you. My my dad's getting worse with it as he's getting older. That's the that's the big thing, because now it's all the time in the world. Right. You got all the time in the world.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:49)
Well, yeah, that's the problem. See, to me, that's my dad.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:54)
20 years ago, are you kidding me? He'd be like, he'd be the two minute phone call.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:58)
If I have all the time in the world, all I can think about is how many better things I could be doing with my time than on the phone.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:03)
No, I know. I'm saying from them, they have all the time in the world. So it's like, yeah, we talk to you forever.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:08)
See, but now my future father-in-law, he'll call me. He'll go, hey, how you doing? I'm like, I'm good. You good? He goes, yeah, I'm good. All right, I got to go. We didn't even make it a minute. That's the type of phone call I'm looking for here.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:18)
That's great.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:18)
All right, we get tweets. Say it.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:21)
You nailed it, man.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:22)
I know, but I like when you repeat it.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:23)
We get tweets? That's our bid.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:25)
We get tweets?

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:26)
You screw it up, and then I have to.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:28)
I say we read tweets.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:29)
We get tweets.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:30)
All right, our buddy Bob Geddes writes in, super bad Rebecca Black, banana eating HR problems, insight you can only get from two guys with combined 10 plus years of higher education.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:42)
Well done.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:43)
Here's the thing. I've got a bachelor's in fine arts. I believe you only have a bachelor's as well, but we both went to college for over five years. Dustin needs a 24 hour marathon show, needs to have a live bet going at all times. Well, that would be easy for me to have a live bet of all times. I like the action.
What can I say?

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:58)
Okay, I've got VSiN trivia for you that I don't even know if it's true or not. That's how fun this trivia is.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:05)
Okay, Paulie Howard's the answer.

**Kelley Bydlon** (3:07)
Which VSiN on air personality has more than a bachelor's degree? And there might be more than one. There's probably more than one.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:14)
VSiN, well, no offense to Dave and Jensen. No, Jensen went to Vanderbilt and played baseball.
