Swando's idiots who believe in analytics.

Our number two, A Numbers Game at VSiN, eSports betting network, vsin.com, GamePlus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, SeriousX of Channel 189

I was about to go with a different number there. It was a random number. It's 189 For those who have not tuned in on 189 yet and are looking for the SeriousX of Channel, it's Gill Alexander, Kelley Bydlon.

Kelley Bydlon (0:28)

Do you know what I'm enjoying about this channel change? Is that for years, I like to think as your producer, I always have my ear open to help you out. If anything gets screwed up, I'm gonna be there, right? To have your back to fix it, right?

Gill Alexander (0:41)

Thank you, brother.

Kelley Bydlon (0:41)

But you are so good with the welcome backs, welcome ins. They're so smooth that for years that it's just like, I don't even know if I'm listening when you say it. So I've caught in the channel change that a couple of times you kind of look over at me like it's kind of like a check. Check me on this. I have only caught once. So you're doing a great job.

Gill Alexander (1:00)

Hey, thank you. Appreciate it very much.

Kelley Bydlon (1:02)

Got to crack me up because I usually don't get the glance over with the welcome backs, welcome ins.

Gill Alexander (1:07)

Let me read a few tweets here. Then we'll get to a listen since we have NFL award fever after that segment.

Kelley Bydlon (1:11)

Let's well, it's you know, we have first game tonight. Yeah, these words are going to officially start moving tonight. So final thoughts, quick reactions.

Gill Alexander (1:18)

Real quick, though, Chris Heath, I'm already stuck with my five sides for Circa Million, so now I'm just waiting for the flop.

He's waiting for the for the picks to become accessible.

Jason McKinney, water update. He just got Fiji delivered to the room. Now I can give a five star review, he said. Mine 062073, Frankie Unders. OK, hear me out. I want to flex. Listen to this. LSU versus Michigan is not an actual game. He's suggesting they play each other. LSU wins. They stay in the SEC. Michigan wins. Then their win against Western Michigan counts. OK.

Kelley Bydlon (1:48)

Well, I think we make it even more interesting. Ball at the what? Ball at the fifth 10 yard line, one second on the clock.

Gill Alexander (1:55)

Patrick Kelley, if LSU gets expelled from the SEC, do we get an in-season promotion and relegation? LSU up to the AFC East, Miami Dolphins do well, whomever will have them. No, but the one thing is that the SEC is like, they're really playing this out. Because they're like, well, there's ACC teams that would love to replace them.

Talk about Clemson in Florida State, right?

Kelley Bydlon (2:19)

Yeah, sure.

Gill Alexander (2:20)

They're just like playing on...

Kelley Bydlon (2:21)

Let's check in on those two programs. Off to a great start again.

Gill Alexander (2:24)

Dr. Van Nostrad, yes, the clock should go by what's on the scoreboard, but Gill, you said you can't have a sport where the time on the board isn't the time, yet I watch soccer all the time, and the time is at best shady and at worst criminal. Well, that's my point. You can't have it.

Not in America, you can't have it.

Kelley Bydlon (2:40)

Yeah, well, this is...

Gill Alexander (2:41)

We brought up the soccer, maybe.

Kelley Bydlon (2:42)

Soccer, I've given you a lot of love this week.

You got to remove soccer from your brain for this conversation, okay? Who knows what those guys are doing?

Gill Alexander (2:49)

Who knows? It should be a 30 for 30 Three jock, h3131. Gill, thank you for the Sydney Sweeney commercial. Call out, I have no idea what you said in that commercial, but I'm going to liquidate everything and send it to Novik.

Kelley Bydlon (2:58)

Oh, you know what? Gill and I were grownups. Neither one of us looked at it during the break.

Gill Alexander (3:02)

No.

Kelley Bydlon (3:03)

You were texting, I was making a bet.

Gill Alexander (3:04)

I didn't think about it.

Kelley Bydlon (3:05)

Gill Alexander inspired me to make my last futures bet.

Gill Alexander (3:09)

Which is?

Kelley Bydlon (3:10)

Because of what you said about Will's Chiefs Bet. Kind of like these things that are too obvious.

Gill Alexander (3:16)

Staring at us all summer long.
