Laura just doesn't sport because this will be, that's what makes all these. I don't even know what we're talking about other than, all right, the mascots. Yeah, we got the mascot stuff, Donnie. Or should I say Donnie Jambalaya juggernaut? Martin is our football analyst that we have. And so we're going to pick a couple of different games every week. So we have two games that they actually play every week. Oh, God. Cross, well, cross college ball, it's a lot, because you figure out whether it's a big college or a small, I mean, as long as they have a football team, somebody's playing. Oh. There's a lot. Okay, so like, all the colleges play every week? For the most, unless you have a bi week, yeah. I, Donnie's like, sweet Jesus, I didn't realize she was this not into sport. Alrighty, so the first two, the two games are the game that we picked. Donnie, do you want to go over, first of all, I know Donnie, he had this idea for this series and so I thought it would be, I thought it was going to be a funny idea. So Donnie's going to give the football side of the prediction. And then Laura and I are going to give the prediction of whether the animal is going to fight. Okay, so Donnie's only founded in reason. And ours will not be. Ours is, well we found it in chaos. Just sheer chaos.
