It is Mike the Mosquito Moscato. Hello, Mike, Hey, Hello there,
Dala beaters. How we doing this morning? Oh my god, you
know you got this. So the letter was m and we did try Marlin's
man, I will have to admit, but I am honored to speak to
the Mosquito himself. We're doing very well. I think you doing all right.
Oh it's been a it's kind of been a long dive, but that's
okay. It's nice to be out here with black night thro ding good JJ
and of course givin you say long night while was it a long night?
He came over last night? Oh understand this station to make it fine?
They a do you try to get some sleep or just go ahead and power
through it. But I've got a little bit of a Columbia Java here with
me this morning. I love old Eggs Columbia. So things are good for
me. Guys. How about y'all. We're good, Mosquito. What an
honor to talk to Mosquito. I've never actually spoken to this guy. You're
your program. I will see your program all the time. You guys,
man, we listened to you every time you're on the Freak. It's just
really cool to meet you virtually. How is the Hulk? Can you comment
on his state of weight fluctuation? I know that Metal Liquid's been, you
know, helping here and there, which is curious. If you had an
update on the status of Hulk. No. I saw the Hulk earlier this
week and we had a production because I think he and I might be fill
of a forbidded skied to borrow, which we're very excited about it. We
love being out of a freak. But yeah, the Hulk is not another
I think fifteen ounces for week to this week, so he's progressing very well
with metal liquid. He looks great, guys, he really does almost a
pound. That's good. A disciplined week for the Hulk sounds like, well,
I think you know he's uh. The margins are slim for him,
so you really can tell what he's been putting into work. I think he
looks fantastic. Rah hope, Oh, I think there he is, Mosquito.
We want to thank Alamo Draft House Cinema for sponsoring this segment five locations
in the metroplexan go to draft House dot comation. We got the Cedars,
you got Lake Highlands, you have Denton, you have Lost Kalinas, and
you have Richardson. God, what a good copy man he is. Have
you ever been to the Alamo Draft House, Mosquito? Do you like Do
you like movies? I love movies. I've never actually seen any of them
in the theater. But I do love movies the fantastic. You know,
I broke got some big stories when I work at LA back in the eighties.
That's kind of how I became a national figure. You know. I
broke the Rock Hudson story really really, yes, absolutely well that he was
gay. Wait what what? He was blind? But I think he was
blind? What story did you break on rock Huts and Mosquito? What?
Everybody? What? Everybody knows back in the early eighties. Of course,
he sold as Sata Botica Hope to Fade the Hollywood director Billy Wilder, And
I was thea who broke that story and got to put me on the back
a little bit. What do we say about him being gay? Never mind,
it's fun of having a Mosquito on because some people you talk to and
he's like, man, what a perfect voice for radio, and just listening
to you talk. It's just a perfect match you and radio. So we're
honored to have you on. All right. The reason we're having you on
is because we choose a celebrity each and every week we spent a wheel.
The letter was M so we got double points or triple points. I suppose
and we had already had a machine on yesterday, so we couldn't, you
know, double up. So Mike the Mosquito Scotto is here. We need
get to pick two NFL games. One of them has to be the Dallas
Cowboys game. So I suppose we can do that one first. It is
Dallas cowboy Boys favored by six and a half points against the l A Rams.
Who are you taking there? Well, first of all, I know
want to be irresponsible here. Let me tell all your listeners. We pig
games for fun. We do not encourage you to wager, buddy, do
that wager cash unless you are absolutely desperate, have no other choices ritch copy
n so just keep that advice. This is just for fun. We want
to have fun. How big the big Cowboys coming off of bye week?
If you look at them statistically, I'm sure there are stats out there that
will tell you how they perform. I didn't spend any time looking those up,
so I'm just going to kind of shoot from the hip here. Six
and a half dog, they are favored. Rather they give you three when
you play at Hope, give me the Cowboys to cover. I think they
put up forty two this week. Damn forty two. Wow, I want
to pick there. Yeah, you're right, you mentioned not looking up.
You know you've made kind of you have a lot of guests on your show,
but the Hulk is kind of you know, the sports analytics guy,
you know when on your show at least you know it seems like, yeah,
I think I heard him want to say he was a three technique buddy
never played football. Well, that's the thing is, you know, people
act like you have to physically play the game. I think in the case
of a guy like Hulk, he's done a bit that's good for what we
do our show like that, right. I think you once claimed that you
dated a couple of women that could have been considered three techniques and they never
played football. Right. Uh? No, I love a good free technique.
In fact, I was trying to get Betsy to hook one of those
up last night but couldn't pull it off. Mosquito, how is Betsy,
Well, she's landed there. Betsy could bring that plate to play it over
there on that table to get a cat's hunting. Thank you on a long
day ahead for the Mesquie. All right, we need one more NFL pick
from you. We got the Cowboys to cover six and a half. Any
other NFL game will do, all right. I love Halloween. I know
you guys do too. I love Halloween. I love the spirit of the
season. I love people getting freaky. Let me tell you what me and
Betsy you're doing this year. All right? We are going as Brett Farve
and Jim Sturger and that's our theme. But so at honor of that,
I'm going to pick this weekend. I love what this happens. My Jets
are playing by Giants, and love when that happens. Ironically it does.
The Giants are home dogs, and I think Mikey do a lot of gambling.
You got problems. I think people always know always roll with a home
dog. Gives me. The Giants actually beat the Jets this week at FL
football. Let's clarify, yeah, on NFL football. That is definitely an
NFL Football Game of the Week, and that's why the celebrities are in first
place at ten and four and picks with Glenn's Mike the Mosquito Moscato. You
joined the likes of Dick Valentine, Rangers reliever Mike Adams, Joey Chestnut,
Barry Church, Paul Varguiese, Christina Ray and Jim Knox. A few guys
would bind break those guys breck ole le me dough top the bottom. Who's
breaking the bothe librity heat. Yes, he loves rankings too, you know
that's the thing of Mosquito on the whole Vell rank stuff for you all on
there show, and that's how they're syndicated across all of our iHeart family doing
a lot of filling work. Yeah, I'd work for a lot of program
directors and universally they love rankings. They love rankings that you know how Chris
Arnold made his name in his business. Yeah, he's a friend of ours
for sure. Everyone loves rankings. I love Chris all right, Mosquito,
I think that's all we need, right, anybody else do anything else?
It's good. I think Mosquito might need a nap. Give the Hulk are
love? Please? We haven't been lucky enough to land on h oh well,
I'm sure he'll be ready whatever you needed it. That gives me chills
from by braved by Punker. I love that all right. You know you
guys have a fantastic after Hey say hi? Did JJ Colby say it?
Yourself, my Mosquito. Hey, JJ, how you do it? Okay,
that's enough, Mosquito, Lord on the phone, who hates up?
Do I hang up? Or do either one? Either one works, turn
a little bit of filling work forbidden skin tomorrow. I believe Mosquito and the
Hulks catch them tomorrow. Cowboys and Giants, Yes, we'll score our Glenn
of the week. Dance Danny from Dallas. It's Danny. What's the just
keeping prosper on my rostero chiz po, schiz You gotta get up there if
you're looking for a four Danny places legit And I was just there yesterday,
my second time there. Ye got one up there right now with only about
five hundred and seven miles on it. Yeah, you can have a celebrity
vehicle. Smells of talkies and toots. Yeah, a lot of narcolepsy.
Eight and six for the Glens. Tied with Dingu and Malcolm at eight and
six. So you're representing the second place team here, Danny from Dallas,
go ahead, pick the cowboy game. Oh Cowboys? Okay, okay,
So cowboys minus six good info minus six and a half, yes, and
Panthers to cover because uh screw Houston. Wow, all right, just double
barrel. That will be the Panthers plus three. What's this noise? We're
all you're hearing that. That's weird. Happened second the last few seconds.
Yeah, I think it's just I blame Danny. Okay, it's clearly you.
All right, Panthers plus three? Cool and uh in Cowboys minus six
and a half? All right, Danny, say hi to give ah,
give a shout out to anyone you want to give a shout out to on
the radio. Shout out to the Rangers. Do it. Let's do it,
Danny, genuine shout out, genuine see Danny, thanks for your call,
Cowboys and Panthers. So let's go to Danny's two and a half year
old son, Malcolm, who is in second place at eight and six.
We had just changed a diaper and he's kind of laying on the diaper table.
I'm like, you know what, I think it's time for some NFL
picks. Malcolm? You ready? Here we go? Hi, I'm Malcolm.
Yeah, okay, usually it's yeah, I do have a cramp.
Oh yeah, I need to hydrate. Okay, yeah, I'm fine.
Here we go again him, Malcolm, Yeah, you want to go in
Geraldine Jard Maybe we can do that sometime soon. You want to do some
football picks, all right, let's do Okay, we got an old NFC
North rivalry, Vikings and Packers. What do you think five Viking? You
want to pick the Vikings? You're picking the Packers. Kat is going to
love that. Yeah? Can you you say hi to Kevio? Yeah,
daddy has the hiccups? Yeah? Do you ever had the hiccups before?
Yeah? Why do you have your finger in your in your nose? What's
inside? What's inside your nose? Buggie? Yeah, that's true. All
right? Then we have Cowboys six and a half favorites at Rams HOPI six
fav and Rayam. Yeah, you're just kind of saying what what I'm saying?
Cowboys are Rams? Who do you think like the Cowboys? Is it
the Cowboys or the Rams? Cowboys? And you have to pick one?
Who do you want to take? Cowboys? Love it? Did you know
that the Rangers are going to the World Series MS Rangers and Rams. The
Rangers might be able to beat the Rams? All right? You want to
say say anything to anybody? Anything? Hi? K T hi KT?
Who else? Anybody else? Who else? Hi? Miikeh, Mike,

Hi? Kaija? Yes, all right, you're ready to go to Walmart.
Let's go. You want to hit the Walmart, Let's go hit the
Walmart. Hits the Walmart. He's been hanging up with He's been hanging up
with JT too long. This hit that Walmarts. My got his best friend.
I know, I know he was saving the best for last. You
know how it goes. The toddler. He was really struggling with that Cowboys
lord right on the fence, tough one and then Rangers and Rams. God,
I love him. It's amazing. He's smoking me at eight and six
and you're at five eight and one. We'll stay with Danny, though,
the father of Malcolm Okay, also at eight and six, tied for second
place. Yeah. Man, it's funny. Mosquito chose my other NFL game,
Jets minus three at the cross or I guess the same stadium rivals?
Are they playing the same met life? I think the best thing that happened
in the New York Giants was to have Daniel Jones go down, because Tyrod
Taylor shows that he can move that offense. Jets are favored, Give me
the Giants. I think I'm taking the Giants outright to win that game.
Plus yes, yes, sir, yes sir. Then we have Rams Cowboys.
Cowboys favored by six and a half. Rams defense is terrible. I
think that the Cowboys will be able to cover, and I also think that
the Cowboys are going to be in Stafford's kitchen all day long. Give me
the Cowboys to cover the six and a half. Very best of luck to
you, Thank you half NYG plus three. There you go, Dingu.
Next in the standings is me at seven and seven, so I will go
la Rams plus six and a half? Do you think Cowboys win this game
twenty three to seventeen? That is my pick. But the Rams getting six
and a half is a lot of points for a team that is good.
Pokinakua is decent play and is fitting nicely as the wide receiver one and a
half for Matthew Stafford. Cooper Cup back Cooper Cup only had two catches last
week. Cooper Cup does not get shut down two weeks in a row,
and his NFL career has happened once and it was like in twenty nineteen,
Another thing about the Cowboys is the sleepy noon start for that crowd who might
be coming off of a late night after Night two Game two of the World
Series, and Halloween parties, and god knows what else. I always fear
the random mid season Cowboys noon home game with the late arriving crowd and just
kind of a slow first half. Starith Cowys one in twenty three seventeen,
about six Rams plus six and a half, and then I'm going Bengals plus
three and a half. There's too many injuries for the forty nine ers and
Brock party. You don't know if he's going to play, he's in concussion
protocol. It looks like it could be a Sam Darnold start, McCaffrey banged
up, deebo out, Bengals getting three and a half. I Bingal's gonna
put together. So I'm taking Bingle plus three and a half against the forty
nine very best to look. Thank you, fantastic, Thank you, Mike
Siroy, thank you five eight and one poor handicapper, fad them, don't
follow them. I'm taking the Rams plus six and a half. And honestly,
you stole a lot of the thunder. I was going with I feel
like just a noon game, it's a rarity for them. I don't know
why it feels like it to me. It shouldn't. The fans lethargy shouldn't
matter, but I fear Cowboy lethargy because they're used to playing three twenty five
at the earliest. It just feels kind of weird. It happens, though.
We've seen this too many times yup, and I feel like this game
is a candidate for the Cowboys to lose and be another one that we're freaking
out. And then you lose at the Eagles, and then you beat the
Giants, you beat the Panthers, you beat the Commanders, and then it's
we're back to Oh, we're good again. So I might wine it and
dine it and money line it a little bit as well. But for our
purposes here today, I will take the Rams plus six and an half,
and I fear they're gonna do better than that. But remember I'm second to
last place and I have no idea what I'm talking and all the people in
first place picked the Cowboys. I also love fading all of all. Yeah,
So Game two, I'm taking the Jaguars minus two and a half points
at the Steelers. There's a long track record which I've used already this season,
and one with and that's Mike Tomlin getting points at home. It is
a good, good thing to follow, but I'm gonna violate that in this
case, mainly because the Steelers cannot run the ball and the Jags are gonna
force Kenny Pickett to beat them. And the Jags fared very well against Josh
Allen and Patrick Mahomes holding him I think twenty and seventeen points two times you
played him. Kenny Pickett ain't them so And I still have this weird thing
with the Jags. I think they're good, They're coming around. I think
they're good and maybe kind of real good them in the big last week.
Yeah, for sure them. Them and the Bengals are kind of slow starters,
and I feel like they'll get it pieced together by the time it Yeah.
And I mean they're five and two and leading their division. So if
that's the slow start, I mean it's a crappy division, I understand,
but Face value way better team than the Steelers. Yeah, no doubt,
so give me the well they getting three and a half two and a half
Jags, No Jacks are favored by two and a half on the road five
eight and one. Mikey, you're half a game better than JJ at five
and nine. God, for whatever whatever, This New York game is very
popular. One you're getting out Giants Jets. Giants is coming along with Tyrod
Taylor. It's very interesting to see and I like it. But give me
the Jets. Whoa nice defense over there with the Jets to think they're office
isn't rolling that good with the Giants, So give me the Jets. Taking
that one against the Giants is gonna be a interesting game. Cowboys Rams,
Cowboys off the bye week. This is the healthiest they've probably been all year
minus of course like Manderish and Dix, but overall, think they're in a
handle. Rams free nice pretty easily. So give me. Give me the
Cowboys over the Rams was a cover six and a half. Yeah, that's
the truth that the Cowboys only had one guy on their ir Yeah, Jan
my favorite, he's your favorite. Yeah. I tweeted at him and he
tweeted me back here did he slide into them? DM? Did you slide?
I should have right first, Like Pete Rose, I said, I
wanted a jersey and he had a eyeball emoji with a black Santa emoji.
What's that meaning? Is he going to be Santa Claus and bringing me a
Juanna a Thomas jersey? I hope so. I would love it one of
your tomashas. I think he's oney a Thomas, a number one fan.
Yeah, he's a good player off the air. Yeah. Man, all
right, let's hope boys, let's go all of us win every one of
these games. I think we will do. You look at our fix across
the board, and thank you once again to Mike the Mosquito Moscato from Mosquito
in the whole, huge, huge get by the way, you don't star
like that, make it incredible. We will. I want to get a
Sopranos review from Mike Sarroy because he finished the finale last night. Okay,
I'll give you some of that. Something funny happened at the very end.
And I have a theory that I guarantee you two knuckleheads, much less any
other fan of Sopranos probably is never considered beautiful. That maybe even the remainder
of Arizona ass Clown what is it, Arizona ass Storm, the Arizona ass
storm the categories we didn't get to, and your talkbacks where you interact with
the show, and it's all next right here on ninety seven to one, The Freak
