VSiN Prime Time | September 1, 2026 | Hour 1

**Tim Murray** (0:00)
Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are. College football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and Alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano-hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of. So it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, all nicotine free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.
Right now, Loreen is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buyloreen.com/college.

This is VSiN, the sports betting network. This is VSiN, Prime Time, live from the circus sports book in downtown Las Vegas on VSiN, the sports betting network.

**Tim Murray** (1:35)
We are up and running on a Tuesday evening alongside Matt Youmans. I'm Tim Murray. Matt, we are 48 hours away, actually less than that, from the start of week one of the college football season, Labor Day weekend, five straight days of college football. Certainly get into some NFL news and notes as we inch closer to the start of the NFL season, which is a week from tomorrow and important baseball games, pennant races all across Major League Baseball as the calendar flips to the month of September. Mr. Youmans, how are you, sir?

**Matt Youmans** (2:09)
Exciting times, man, with college football full schedule coming up this week, but I think 90% of the messages or phone calls I've gotten the past 24 hours are about football kind of contest signups at Circa. Everybody's fired up about the contest, man.
And that's the way we're going to be setting records here at Circa this season on the football contest. And, you know, I'm trying to sign up for as many as possible all around town at Westgate, at Red Rock, you know, at Caesars, Will Hill, at what was the other one I was thinking of, Boyd, Boyd game. Every place has got a contest. I'm trying to sign up to Caesars. So much money in the pot, you got to take a shot.

**Tim Murray** (2:51)
Oh, I like that little so much money in the pot. You got to take a shot.

**Matt Youmans** (2:54)
Take your best shot. Take all the shots you can.

**Tim Murray** (2:56)
Let's take a live look over our shoulder.
16,373 entries into Circa Survivor, fully anticipating to blow past the $20 million guarantee. Where will it end? That's the big question. When the announcement came out from Derek Stevens that it was 20 million guaranteed for Survivor, will it reach it? Well, now it is. Yes, it will. And how far will it go? Our initial projections, I think you were 22.5, I was 23
I think it's maybe getting close to possibility of $25 million in that pool for Circa Survivor.

**Matt Youmans** (3:33)
Well, as I said last night, Mike Palm and Jeff Benson both said on Friday night, they believe it's going to get to 25
So I think those guys got a pretty good read on the situation. I've seen projections in the last couple of days that in the next few years, this contest is going to hit insane numbers. If you think these numbers are big, it's going to blow up even bigger in the next few years. But these numbers are big. We'll be happy with a piece of the pie if we get it this season.

**Tim Murray** (4:00)
And then Circa Million, Circa Grandisimo, I will be over. Going to go see our good friend John Murray tomorrow. Going to sign up for the college football contest over at the Westgate.

**Matt Youmans** (4:10)
Can we get John Murray on the show Thursday night? Let's see.

**Tim Murray** (4:13)
I'll ask him tomorrow.

**Matt Youmans** (4:14)
Ask him.

**Tim Murray** (4:14)
I'll ask him in person.

**Matt Youmans** (4:15)
He had boycotted VSiN shows for a long time, but I think it's time to lift the boycott. We've got Jeff Sherman on all the time. We've had Ed Sammons on. We got Ed Sammons in the Friday night contest now.

**Tim Murray** (4:25)
Ooh, nice.

**Matt Youmans** (4:26)
It's time to get John Murray on the show Thursday. Promote those contests over at the West Gate. Get some more sign ups. The sign up numbers are very low at the West Gate. And obviously, Circa dominates the contest scene now.
