- 0:44Speaker 3: Tom Creanu put his name in the rafters. Wow, what
- 0:47Speaker 3: an amazing moment. I was gonna save that for my game,
- 0:50Speaker 3: but we'll go to the nine year.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Well, it all ties into my story about what begat
- 0:54Speaker 1: me on the Saturday evening when I walked into my
- 0:57Speaker 1: favorite establishment the pull up a.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Same fish market, come out now packed to the raft,
- 1:03Speaker 3: the rafters. Always in a weekend, clearly with you know,
- 1:06Speaker 3: and it's I hate to paint with a broad brush.
- 1:08Speaker 3: I hate the stereotype.
- 1:09Speaker 2: It was.
- 1:10Speaker 1: It was quite clear that it was a post game
- 1:13Speaker 1: party for National Marquette Day. A lot of crown acts
- 1:16Speaker 1: and sweater vests, a lot of a lot of hats,
- 1:19Speaker 1: like a lot of a lot of just the vibles was.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Marqutelters. And you know, Marque students.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Do find their way to the neighborhood, and they do,
- 1:29Speaker 1: they generally populate, but it's usually.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Hang out in the third ward. You know, you can't.
- 1:33Speaker 3: You gotta be killed, shocked. I'm shot, shot telling me shot.
- 1:36Speaker 3: But it's usually just a sliver of the clientele because
- 1:38Speaker 3: it's a great melting pot spot.
- 1:41Speaker 2: That's what I love about it. You also a little
- 1:42Speaker 2: bit of a hike from my age, and well, they
- 1:45Speaker 2: got to go some they gotta get got a branch
- 1:47Speaker 2: out right, not if you're not paying a short uber
- 1:50Speaker 2: I walk. Yeah, I'm just thinking, I'm thinking Armon wise
- 1:55Speaker 2: walking for a paint.
- 1:56Speaker 3: When I was there, we didn't have uber even so
- 1:58Speaker 3: that's true, you know, we were taking the thirty. Yeah,
- 2:00Speaker 3: I walk in and it's packed and pre clear clearly
- 2:04Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that they maybe started their
- 2:06Speaker 3: day there with brunch, like I know, the bars.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Downtown Miss Katies was packed.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I was talking to my pal Kirby over at Goolsbie's
- 2:13Speaker 1: and he's like, well, no, we probably do better for
- 2:15Speaker 1: the Admirals games because we're far away from five Serve
- 2:17Speaker 1: that we're not as convenient as like the Toms and
- 2:20Speaker 1: the places that are right right across from five Serve.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Which is sad because a ham and cheeseburger is the
- 2:24Speaker 2: best kind of pregame, no comparison, better than any of
- 2:28Speaker 2: those other spots.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Yeah, but I stroll into this place and I'm the
- 2:32Speaker 1: first person I encounters a guy with a baseball hat.
- 2:35Speaker 2: He looks like he's in his he's a graduate.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Now this is it wasn't just students, it was grats
- 2:39Speaker 3: in recent grats.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Yeah, year olds.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and the first guy he sees me and I
- 2:44Speaker 1: walk in with my wife and he sees me and
- 2:46Speaker 1: he said, are you a Packers fan? And he's with
- 2:50Speaker 1: like five dudes, and I said, I don't know if
- 2:52Speaker 1: I'd say I'm a fan.
- 2:53Speaker 3: And they're like oh, and they start to they start
- 2:55Speaker 3: to He's like, well, what's the deal.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I don't know. I'm kind of like
- 2:59Speaker 1: an employe and Jason employee. I do the post game show.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'm kind of cover the Packers
- 3:06Speaker 1: without fear of favor. But then this guy, clearly he's
- 3:08Speaker 1: a Bears fan and he wants to talk about the Bears.
- 3:11Speaker 3: No.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So he's like, what do you think about Ben Johnson?
- 3:15Speaker 1: I said, I think he's a good coach. He had
- 3:17Speaker 1: a good year. I think he's the shirtless stuff, a
- 3:20Speaker 1: little bit over the top. The act might wear a thin,
- 3:22Speaker 1: but the book is still we don't know, but the
- 3:25Speaker 1: book is still being written. And he's so, I don't
- 3:28Speaker 1: know if he liked that answer or not. But then
- 3:30Speaker 1: he starts to he starts to ask me more about
- 3:33Speaker 1: the Bears, and he's and then I hit him with
- 3:35Speaker 1: the things that we've been saying. I'm like, well, yeah,
- 3:37Speaker 1: he beat the Packers twice in three games, but they
- 3:40Speaker 1: never took a snap on offense with the lead of
- 3:43Speaker 1: those three games, and.
- 3:44Speaker 2: They might have gotten a little lucky.
- 3:46Speaker 1: And I said, so then I spun it around and
- 3:48Speaker 1: I said, I said, did you major in business?
- 3:51Speaker 2: He said, yeah, clearly it's from like Lake Forest or
- 3:53Speaker 2: New Trier.
- 3:54Speaker 3: I get it.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Yeah, did you major? He goes, yeah, I got my MBA.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I said, all right, well, then you're familiar with the
- 4:00Speaker 1: concept of regression Russian to the met.
- 4:04Speaker 2: And he's like yeah, oh yeah.
- 4:06Speaker 1: And then I'm like, okay, so when the turnover thing
- 4:08Speaker 1: flips and when the Bears don't win seven games, when
- 4:12Speaker 1: they're trailing with two minutes left, we'll have this conversation
- 4:15Speaker 1: a year from now, and then you can ask me
- 4:17Speaker 1: and we'll have a we'll have we'll revisit this and
- 4:19Speaker 1: his friends like who were like he was with five
- 4:22Speaker 1: It was a group of like five dudes, and three
- 4:24Speaker 1: of them were Packers fans and two of them were
- 4:25Speaker 1: Bears fans.
- 4:26Speaker 2: And you'll be shocked to know the Bears fans were
- 4:28Speaker 2: the loudest. You're shocking. Yeah, And he didn't want to
- 4:31Speaker 2: hear that. And then.
- 4:36Speaker 1: But I'm like, and then I've made the case that
- 4:38Speaker 1: I've made on the show. I said, well, based on that,
- 4:40Speaker 1: he's like, the Bears want. All that matters is the
- 4:42Speaker 1: final score. All that matters is the final score. I'm like, yeah,
- 4:44Speaker 1: but you can if you look at it and you're
- 4:46Speaker 1: intellectually and use your business you and analyze it. I'm like,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you know, Matt Lafleur kind of out coached him in
- 4:51Speaker 1: those games especially, and I said, first half the coaches have.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Second half is kind of the players half. And they
- 4:55Speaker 1: dominated the first half.
- 4:56Speaker 2: They didn't get it through, but it was the Bears
- 4:58Speaker 2: defense that dominated the second half. And I said, well,
- 5:00Speaker 2: well we'll see. I said, well we'll see an here.
- 5:02Speaker 1: He didn't like that, and then we walk away and
- 5:04Speaker 1: my wife's just like, you gave that dude way too
- 5:06Speaker 1: much attention to any way more attention than he deserved.
- 5:09Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, well whatever.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Then I we strolled past him and he's like at
- 5:13Speaker 1: the door, and then I look and just all dudes
- 5:16Speaker 1: with baseball hats, Marquette hats, and it's like all dudes
- 5:19Speaker 1: who are either you know, I don't know if the
- 5:21Speaker 1: Greek scene is big there arming, but it's like.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Like these dudes lived at McCormick before.
- 5:27Speaker 3: They is a McCormick strader, but they're not like but
- 5:32Speaker 3: it was packed with a lot of people who were
- 5:35Speaker 3: still going and hip of the cap because National Markette.
- 5:39Speaker 2: You probably started at nine ten in the morning.
- 5:41Speaker 3: And I sell all the crowd again and they're still
- 5:43Speaker 3: going it's not been that good this year or so.
- 5:46Speaker 1: But just cemented to me that, like Bears fans are
- 5:49Speaker 1: going to be insufferable. And as we were walking away
- 5:52Speaker 1: and my wife said, you gave that guy way more
- 5:54Speaker 1: attention than he deserved, I'm like, I'm just being polite.
- 5:56Speaker 2: I haven't had a couple pops yet, so.
- 5:57Speaker 3: I'm just going to have my first drink and I'm
- 6:00Speaker 3: I was gonna drop the nuke on him, and she said,
- 6:02Speaker 3: what's that? I was gonna because I was gonna do
- 6:04Speaker 3: connect the dot cities from Chicago or the suburbs. Chicago
- 6:09Speaker 3: Urbs went to Marquette shard Bears fan. I was gonna
- 6:13Speaker 3: ask him, you know, what do you think of that
- 6:15Speaker 3: Burwis Cub series?
- 6:16Speaker 2: That was gonna be a Socks fane to my grandpa's
- 6:23Speaker 2: I'm a Socks fan because my grandpa I didn't have.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I didn't have to drop that on him. But actually
- 6:29Speaker 3: I'm actually parted by him.
- 6:31Speaker 2: He's Orland Park.
- 6:32Speaker 3: So I kind of switched back from Socks and Cubs
- 6:34Speaker 3: and one of these deals yeah, yeah, oh yeah, we've
- 6:38Speaker 3: been there. Yes, I can't speak for every market show.
- 6:40Speaker 3: There there's some, there's some out there like that.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I am glad that you kept gave all
- 6:46Speaker 2: the Drew Olsen for keeping that keeping that bullet in
- 6:48Speaker 2: the chamber. I was.
- 6:50Speaker 3: The game diagram, the ben diagram of Marquette Bears cubs
- 6:56Speaker 3: in there. Man.
- 6:57Speaker 2: But the thing is, Drew, I like that you had
- 6:59Speaker 2: that one. You you held that one because the way
- 7:01Speaker 2: you described it is old boy was waiting for some
- 7:04Speaker 2: kind of a packer fan. He was looking for. He
- 7:07Speaker 2: was trolling for a fight.
- 7:08Speaker 1: And me being mister detached analytical, Well, if you look
- 7:12Speaker 1: at this like I said, we'll revisit this in a
- 7:14Speaker 1: year and see what you what you said.
- 7:16Speaker 2: The best thing is I would love to know Armin
- 7:18Speaker 2: how his boys were gassing. You had that guy on you.
- 7:21Speaker 2: You know one buddy is sitting behind me and like, yeah,
- 7:25Speaker 2: you actually got dominated the other thing to give him
- 7:27Speaker 2: your take, Give him your take. This is your chance.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Go tell him we know what we've been saying.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Because I'll be honest with you, it's on campus has
- 7:35Speaker 3: always been that economy of like a lot of Chicago
- 7:37Speaker 3: fans but a lot of kids from Wisconsin, and there's
- 7:40Speaker 3: always so I can only imagine the debates going up
- 7:42Speaker 3: and down the dorm rooms, you know this year that there.
- 7:45Speaker 1: The other thing I was gonna do is just gonna
- 7:46Speaker 1: like grab his hand and like your nails painted, just checking.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, that was the other one.
- 7:53Speaker 1: I expect another one I had No, I didn't.
- 7:56Speaker 2: I had that in reserve.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Yes, but you know, he then everyone went to Cafe
- 8:02Speaker 3: battle Lux. For some he was clearly hammered, but of
- 8:05Speaker 3: course it was.
- 8:06Speaker 2: That market he was gonna pounce on.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Somebody was waiting for anybody to walk through, like anybody
- 8:10Speaker 1: who had had packer stuff on.
- 8:11Speaker 3: He was.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, was inter single Ben Jonson. I'm just I'm
- 8:19Speaker 2: watching this interaction in my mind, and the bad the
- 8:22Speaker 2: good thing is I've seen enough AI videos now that
- 8:24Speaker 2: I've tried to color myself in honor if it's real
- 8:28Speaker 2: or not, I think I'm re reliving this entire event now.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Was jet there was? It was the I didn't have
- 8:33Speaker 2: the dog. If the dog would have been there as well,
- 8:35Speaker 2: then you might have had to drop the nuke because
- 8:37Speaker 2: at that point he's trying to Yeah, that point, he's
- 8:40Speaker 2: trying to intimate trying.
- 8:41Speaker 1: To action lasted as long as it took for me
- 8:44Speaker 1: to catch a bartender's eye on him to bring two
- 8:45Speaker 1: ice cream high LIFs over.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Toughest part of that toughest part of that interaction is
- 8:49Speaker 3: definitely the like the first three percent of it, because
- 8:52Speaker 3: you know what you're gonna be in for. You're gonna
- 8:54Speaker 3: being four minutes with the guy that's got the most
- 8:57Speaker 3: remedial takes of all time. Like it's just gonna be
- 9:00Speaker 3: an I'm sorry, it's just the most surface level. It's
- 9:04Speaker 3: gonna be that we're all, gosh, here we go.
- 9:06Speaker 1: It's like they won two games and they won a
- 9:08Speaker 1: playoff game and they lost to the Rams in overtime.
- 9:10Speaker 1: But it's like, okay, yeah, wind in your sales, enjoy
- 9:13Speaker 1: the ride while you got it.
- 9:14Speaker 2: It really is the the individual that has not had
- 9:17Speaker 2: meat in a year and a half because they were
- 9:20Speaker 2: dating some girl that decided that she was vegan and
- 9:22Speaker 2: he had to be vegan as well, and all of
- 9:24Speaker 2: a sudden, you realize that was a horrible decision. I
- 9:26Speaker 2: like steak and chicken, and sometimes I like ribs and
- 9:29Speaker 2: chicken together, and this is that first little paste of
- 9:31Speaker 2: meat that you're ready to go all ham samdplich.
- 9:34Speaker 3: You gotta flip you eyes, gotta flip that around to
- 9:36Speaker 3: something that's super specific to him that.
- 9:38Speaker 2: He has no idea, and then go get him off
- 9:40Speaker 2: his heel. I don't know how the thing was. It's
- 9:42Speaker 2: just a small place.
- 9:43Speaker 1: And I look and I go from one, you know,
- 9:46Speaker 1: I'm on I'm on the north end. I look down
- 9:48Speaker 1: to the south end and I see guys and it's
- 9:50Speaker 1: like every third guy is wearing like a marquette.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Hat, same thing, like like the cornips with the country
- 9:56Speaker 3: club on it and the quarter and like the hats.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Though, what's with the hats? Like, Okay, everyone weird slouch hat.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're talking about, right, it's d
- 10:07Speaker 2: slouch hat. But yeah, I don't agree with this. Everyone
- 10:10Speaker 2: wears hats. What do you mean?
- 10:11Speaker 3: What's there's a specific hat the hit the forty seven
- 10:16Speaker 3: hitch hats probably, and then some dudes do it because
- 10:20Speaker 3: some dude dudes do it because the troops are receding,
- 10:23Speaker 3: And then some dudes do it, even guys with nice
- 10:25Speaker 3: thing to do it.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Then I'm wondering, you're talking to the wrong guy. I like, well,
- 10:28Speaker 2: you do all right.
- 10:30Speaker 1: But this is a college thing because I've never been
- 10:31Speaker 1: much of a hat guy, and they weren't like in
- 10:33Speaker 1: Vogue when I was coming up, and we were when
- 10:35Speaker 1: I was that age. But when you take the hat
- 10:38Speaker 1: off when you're closing the deal, do you you know
- 10:41Speaker 1: when it comes time? You know, oh it's a deal.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do you keep the hat on? You take
- 10:47Speaker 1: it off and you got hat head?
- 10:49Speaker 2: What happens? Well, let her take it off.
- 10:50Speaker 3: You just flip it behind you just keep it on,
- 10:53Speaker 3: but backwards. Okay, that's the jet. That's the jets g move.
- 10:58Speaker 2: That's like an umpire and you know, yeah, I mean
- 11:00Speaker 2: but that's like keeping your socks on the Oh you
- 11:03Speaker 2: mean that? You mean that deep into the situation. That's
- 11:06Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. What did you think? I thought
- 11:07Speaker 2: you mean you're still in public. Sorry, we're talking a
- 11:09Speaker 2: little bit.
- 11:10Speaker 3: You're talking about when you go home, and we're not
- 11:12Speaker 3: going with the remedial conversation.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Keep the hat you you don't keep the hat on.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I thought you flipped it around. I had a visual
- 11:21Speaker 2: looking like the guy at the tools. All right, hold on,
- 11:23Speaker 2: let me turn this thing around here, the socket wrench.
- 11:27Speaker 2: When the conversation is getting better. I thought, oh God,
- 11:32Speaker 2: like that. You know, it's what you're used to.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I mean, back in the day it was members only
- 11:37Speaker 1: jackets could get you some ask.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it was lead the jacket on during drew in
- 11:43Speaker 2: arm And I know the hat thing, don't. I don't
- 11:45Speaker 2: think you need to take too much off. I also
- 11:47Speaker 2: don't see you wearing the hat that Drew is describing though,
- 11:50Speaker 2: because there is there is a there is a signaled
- 11:52Speaker 2: hat soiled.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's what you like the lot of there.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Yes, it's the I got this hat my sophomore year
- 12:04Speaker 2: and my lucky hats, my lucky hat. Yeah, brother, it's
- 12:08Speaker 2: not so lucky. And if you're wearing a sweater, it's
- 12:10Speaker 2: probably not the part of the outfit.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Now. You do have to keep your hats crispy, which
- 12:13Speaker 3: is a problem because you really shouldn't wash hats. But
- 12:16Speaker 3: a white hat is a good look for a lot
- 12:18Speaker 3: of these hats, so you got to keep them rotating.
- 12:21Speaker 3: You gotta keep them crispy because otherwise, yeah, you don't
- 12:23Speaker 3: want to look like the hat that you wore all
- 12:26Speaker 3: summer when you're working at the golf course, like tep
- 12:28Speaker 3: a hat, like you know what I mean? It's hard
- 12:30Speaker 3: district hat when you work for the you know, the
- 12:33Speaker 3: Orland Park Park District or whatever, the Oakland it's this
- 12:36Speaker 3: Plains Park District or whatever.
- 12:38Speaker 2: It's your lucky hat.
- 12:39Speaker 1: And you were to National markete and they beat Butler, Like,
- 12:43Speaker 1: what did you wear the fifteen games that?
- 12:45Speaker 3: Yeah, you're lucky as a Marquet fan here this year,
- 12:48Speaker 3: your lucky hat should be very brand new because it
- 12:51Speaker 3: should be a new hat every game.
- 12:52Speaker 2: However, I want to say game.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Ball to my, my, my market golden eggles for finding
- 12:59Speaker 3: a way to win on the Markette National Market Day.
- 13:02Speaker 3: It's a big day for Marquette fans. So they came
- 13:04Speaker 3: out with their best effort of the year, and I
- 13:06Speaker 3: was happy.
- 13:06Speaker 1: This was a big day for all the establishments in
- 13:08Speaker 1: Milwaukee because the alums were out, the lawyers and Dennis
- 13:11Speaker 1: were rocking it, the students, you know.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Everyone came back. Even Dwayne Wade was there. Steve Wade
- 13:16Speaker 2: flew in for that. Now, that was a game that's honored.
- 13:19Speaker 1: But okay, we're not at a round number of that
- 13:22Speaker 1: final four team. But they brought the team, the final
- 13:25Speaker 1: four team back.
- 13:25Speaker 3: They bought they brought the tw they That's why, Yes,
- 13:32Speaker 3: but actually, okay, that's that's funny, that's good. This was
- 13:36Speaker 3: the they brought the two thousand and five twenty sixteen back.
- 13:39Speaker 2: That was that was the anniversary. I believe that they
- 13:41Speaker 2: brought back the first the Final fourteen because Novak was
- 13:44Speaker 2: in there.
- 13:45Speaker 3: But anytime Travis and Dwayne want to come, Steve was
- 13:49Speaker 3: Steve was always here too. They're they're all more than
- 13:52Speaker 3: welcome to come, but the only guy in that team
- 13:53Speaker 3: was actually Steve Novack.
- 13:55Speaker 2: I think that was the Yeah, the first team in
- 13:57Speaker 2: the Big East. Is that what it is? The Big East?
- 14:00Speaker 2: I saw the White Burke. So when you see the
- 14:02Speaker 2: White Burke.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Making appearance, you know that he's after a bag and
- 14:05Speaker 3: it just goes to show you.
- 14:06Speaker 1: And we'll go through this when Aaron Rodgers comes back
- 14:09Speaker 1: and gets celebrated. Okay, because Crean when he left, there
- 14:12Speaker 1: was some waxy build up and it took a while.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Now he's back in the good grace. It's more than waxy.
- 14:17Speaker 3: But this has got to be one of the most
- 14:18Speaker 3: one to eighty hero arcs I've ever seen. Well, yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 3: there was never there was a time when we didn't
- 14:24Speaker 3: think Tom Crean would ever show his face on campus. Again,
- 14:27Speaker 3: the bad feelings between the school, the administration, the athletic department,
- 14:31Speaker 3: fan base and him when he left was strong, and
- 14:34Speaker 3: it was deep, and it cut deep.
- 14:35Speaker 2: But it just goes to show you any relationship can
- 14:38Speaker 2: be repaired.
- 14:38Speaker 1: As Homer would say, he should always be worshiped there
- 14:41Speaker 1: because he brought Dwayne Wade.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Absolutely, he brought the program back. He did. He brought
- 14:45Speaker 2: in Buzz Williams as an assistant.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Buzz was a pretty good steward of the before he left,
- 14:49Speaker 3: absolutely true. And in recent years Tom Crean, as he's
- 14:53Speaker 3: gone in and out of different jobs, he was at
- 14:55Speaker 3: Georgia for a second. He's kind of evangelized from Marquette
- 14:58Speaker 3: at how great of a job it was, of a place,
- 15:00Speaker 3: and how important the time there was. And he's a
- 15:03Speaker 3: good orator, and it means a lot of Marquet fans
- 15:05Speaker 3: to hear that, met a lot to market allow to
- 15:07Speaker 3: hear that. And so there he was with the with
- 15:10Speaker 3: the blue blazer on in tears when his name was
- 15:12Speaker 3: getting unveiled in the Raptors.
- 15:14Speaker 2: I never thought i'd see that. I really didn't. Well
- 15:17Speaker 2: A decade ago, if I would have told you that
- 15:19Speaker 2: Brett Beelama or Tom Crean was going to come back
- 15:22Speaker 2: to the to the their respective university that they coached
- 15:24Speaker 2: that which would you said, would have been more like tough.
- 15:28Speaker 2: I mean that's because now now Belam can't right now
- 15:31Speaker 2: he's coaching Illinois. Now it's gone. But like ten years ago,
- 15:36Speaker 2: I think it would have. I think it totally would
- 15:38Speaker 2: have been a toss up, right. I mean, granted he
- 15:40Speaker 2: didn't do what you guys said with Green like bring
- 15:42Speaker 2: it back. He would have been the Barry version of it.
- 15:45Speaker 2: But there was a talk about.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Totally and I think like if it was, if it
- 15:51Speaker 3: wasn't for you know, Tom had some success in Indiana
- 15:55Speaker 3: more than I think people remember, but didn't have much
- 15:57Speaker 3: of Georgia as other jobs.
- 15:58Speaker 2: I think that made a big different thing. R's doing pretty.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Good at Illinois relatively didn't do good at Arkansas. I
- 16:04Speaker 3: think if Tom's last job wasn't as good and and
- 16:08Speaker 3: his career is kind of wrapping up now he's going
- 16:10Speaker 3: to TV, I think that makes a big difference.
- 16:12Speaker 2: So maybe one day Billy, when Brett Bilama is.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Not coaching anymore, in time passes, possibly, but I don't.
- 16:17Speaker 2: See it either. It would be yeah, yeah, but then
- 16:20Speaker 2: but then.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Again, I didn't see this Tom Cream thing happening years
- 16:23Speaker 3: ago either, so you never really know what could happen.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I'm with you there eight seven, seven, seven nine four
- 16:28Speaker 1: one ninety seven three game balls and kicks to the balls.
- 16:30Speaker 1: We're not ignoring the Super Bowl. We've just been talking
- 16:32Speaker 1: about it a lot, and we will fire that back up.
- 16:34Speaker 3: For those of yousout it right now because it's the
- 16:37Speaker 3: last tackle football that the professional tackle football that we
- 16:40Speaker 3: have to.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Talk about for a while. The Underwear Olympics. Yeah, instead
- 16:44Speaker 2: of uh in mini camp and Ota February seventeen to
- 16:47Speaker 2: March third window to use franchise tags, gid y up up,
- 16:55Speaker 2: it's a kick to the balls right, oh my goodness,
- 17:00Speaker 2: right in the sight. So and we may find out
- 17:02Speaker 2: that Drake May was bothered by a shoulder. That's probably
- 17:05Speaker 2: gonna be the cover story the revision of the Patriots
- 17:09Speaker 2: media saying that wasn't it. It was just that they
- 17:12Speaker 2: got engulfed, overwhelmed.
- 17:14Speaker 1: But in any event, Drake May, if he does need
- 17:16Speaker 1: a procedure a cleanup, I recommend he go to orth
- 17:18Speaker 1: Pedicas's Wisconsin, our friends at OA w the leaders world
- 17:23Speaker 1: class care right here at home, World class facilities. Unbelievable
- 17:27Speaker 1: from the people at the front desk, everybody so professional,
- 17:30Speaker 1: so pleasant, such a great experience for me. If you
- 17:33Speaker 1: have a sports injury in your family, your kid get
- 17:35Speaker 1: hurt playing in a game, and you gotta go to
- 17:37Speaker 1: the best Ortho Wisconsin dot com, start there and make
- 17:40Speaker 1: the appointment, or they go to the Ortho as a
- 17:42Speaker 1: p clinics find out about them at arthow Wisconsin dot com.
- 17:46Speaker 1: And I will always shout out doctor Matthew Bong. In fact,
- 17:48Speaker 1: I might have to go see him again. I'm getting
- 17:50Speaker 1: that pinch in the left hip that I had in
- 17:51Speaker 1: the right hip, and I can tell it's coming, so
- 17:53Speaker 1: I might as well just schedule in advancege I'll pick
- 17:58Speaker 1: a good time. I only missed like two or three
- 18:00Speaker 1: shows I think when I was rehabbing. That's how good
- 18:02Speaker 1: they are. Oils back up.
- 18:04Speaker 2: And talk change far different procedure arm and this would
- 18:07Speaker 2: be like a tire rotation.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Yeah, little bit good point would see the Best Orthopedic
- 18:12Speaker 3: Associates of Wisconsin Orthowisconsin dot com.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Orthopedic Associates Wisconsin. There is a difference. You're hanging out
- 18:18Speaker 1: with us in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, The Huddle,
- 18:23Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, t Rebillion Arman, Billy, how'd your
- 18:27Speaker 1: investments go yesterday? I mean, I know you were. You
- 18:30Speaker 1: were on when we left on Friday. You were like
- 18:32Speaker 1: a Patriots I feel I thought Seattle was the better team.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did stay on TV.
- 18:37Speaker 1: At the risk of, you know, patting myself on the back,
- 18:39Speaker 1: I did say the only thing I couldn't envision in
- 18:41Speaker 1: this game was the Patriots winning a blowout. Everything else
- 18:44Speaker 1: was on the table to me and ended up being
- 18:46Speaker 1: a Seahawks.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Ended up being a Seahawks blowout. I was on the
- 18:50Speaker 2: Pats a little bit. I'd moved the number quite a
- 18:52Speaker 2: bit over the Potawa Me sports book to give you
- 18:54Speaker 2: opportunities to do things like that. So I had them
- 18:56Speaker 2: at eleven and a half. So that last drive, I
- 18:59Speaker 2: was desperately hoping for a desperation heave into the end
- 19:02Speaker 2: zone to be able to secure something, but not necessarily well. However,
- 19:06Speaker 2: did have did cash a couple of tickets where it
- 19:09Speaker 2: was heads heads was easy winner, Yes, all overheads.
- 19:15Speaker 3: And we're all these and we're all these clothes and
- 19:19Speaker 3: we're all these clowns. That says tails, that say tales
- 19:21Speaker 3: never fails. Yeah, but where are you at now? Tales
- 19:24Speaker 3: failed last night. I was on the heads too, Billy,
- 19:26Speaker 3: let's go there you go, little three little discount.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Come on, you're on the head. But you were able
- 19:31Speaker 2: to then also have a a proposition. I think it
- 19:35Speaker 2: was a little plus money, like plus one ten drew
- 19:37Speaker 2: of the game to end or the last play of
- 19:40Speaker 2: the game to be completed after or before nine to fifteen.
- 19:43Speaker 2: I love that. I love that one. I love that one.
- 19:46Speaker 2: And uh, the under was actually like minus one sixties,
- 19:50Speaker 2: so it was it was a tougher price for that,
- 19:52Speaker 2: so I was I was happy with those two. Obviously,
- 19:54Speaker 2: the smallest bets that I made throughout the entire day
- 19:57Speaker 2: are the only ones that you win, because that's generally
- 19:59Speaker 2: how it happ happens. This is not for income, folks.
- 20:04Speaker 2: This is for recreational purposes only with the disposable income
- 20:07Speaker 2: you have, not with the money you are planning on
- 20:09Speaker 2: going and buying groceries. I pick and say with I
- 20:12Speaker 2: love that you said that.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, my whole philosophy on investing as you speak,
- 20:17Speaker 1: into existence for myself, You're I'm just I'm donating this
- 20:20Speaker 1: money and if I get any back.
- 20:21Speaker 2: It's a plus.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like buying a ticket to see a movie
- 20:24Speaker 1: or something that's any money back. Yeah, you're going to
- 20:26Speaker 1: be entertained for a couple of hours, but it's not
- 20:28Speaker 1: like you have a chance to win money back.
- 20:30Speaker 2: That's what makes ambling exciting for folks. I agree. I
- 20:32Speaker 2: hate when people say you might lose.
- 20:33Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, well I'm not getting my money back
- 20:35Speaker 3: like you said the movie either, and if.
- 20:37Speaker 1: You do win on those sweet victories, you end up
- 20:39Speaker 1: giving it back eventually.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Pretty quickly, yeah, actually pretty quickly.
- 20:42Speaker 1: So just like that's the way you got to look
- 20:44Speaker 1: at is like I am going to lose this money,
- 20:46Speaker 1: I'm handing it over.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Yeah, And if you don't want to do that, then
- 20:48Speaker 2: don't do it. Well and Drew, it's like if I'm
- 20:50Speaker 2: going to take that one hundred dollars in My wife
- 20:52Speaker 2: and I made this joke a number of different times.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Rationalize how we have fun where like in the middle
- 20:56Speaker 2: of the day for our day dates, we'll end up
- 20:58Speaker 2: going to the Potawatamy sports booker Hoad Mexino because it's
- 21:01Speaker 2: like otherwise we can go to Target and spend one
- 21:03Speaker 2: hundred out either way, this one, you have a chance
- 21:06Speaker 2: to win one hundred dollars instead of just win new
- 21:09Speaker 2: door knobs, target store. Yeah, time you going from one?
- 21:13Speaker 2: So what it is?
- 21:15Speaker 3: And it might be food, it might be jeans. You
- 21:17Speaker 3: never really know, but I you're buying something and they're
- 21:20Speaker 3: all in that little spot in the beginning where it's
- 21:21Speaker 3: all five dollars and the old five dollars a kicking
- 21:23Speaker 3: the all right, kicking the balls. Though, for the overbetterers
- 21:28Speaker 3: who thought they had quite a comeback story last night
- 21:30Speaker 3: when uh Keth Walker quarter?
- 21:33Speaker 2: Yeah wow, I mean thirty point?
- 21:35Speaker 3: How many people just disregarded that to those are the
- 21:37Speaker 3: best ones to win. I don't if you agree, Billy
- 21:39Speaker 3: is the ones you thought you lost and then you
- 21:41Speaker 3: come back and like, I have life, I have life.
- 21:43Speaker 3: This could be what a moment. This has found money
- 21:45Speaker 3: Now it's dude math, but it just didn't get it.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Twenty five minutes of garbage time with thirty points sprinkled in, and.
- 21:53Speaker 2: One of them a defensive touchdown in mac Collins, maybe
- 21:55Speaker 2: the most unlikely score of the entire.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Night, right, yeah, given his walk in. Yeah, now, Drew,
- 22:01Speaker 3: you got to answer me this all right?
- 22:03Speaker 2: Do you get the whole get up back on, Like
- 22:05Speaker 2: does he put himself back in the cuffs to walk
- 22:07Speaker 2: out of the game or does he bring it all?
- 22:10Speaker 2: If you missed it, mc collins up game ball for
- 22:12Speaker 2: mc collins outfit yesterday. All right, let's go come on
- 22:15Speaker 2: most important, most reason why because I don't know how
- 22:18Speaker 2: you handcuff yourself like that, like that he had the
- 22:20Speaker 2: he had the cuffs on and the mask on in front,
- 22:24Speaker 2: shackles rolling in like, I don't know how you do
- 22:26Speaker 2: that for yourself. That was good work by him. It
- 22:29Speaker 2: was bizarre. I'm like, was he Hannibal Lecter something dude?
- 22:32Speaker 2: Something going for Maybe you need a little bit of
- 22:35Speaker 2: crazy though on your team. Maybe you need a little
- 22:37Speaker 2: bit of somebody being very grounded. Maybe mcins needs to
- 22:40Speaker 2: be a Green Bay Pack the criminal element that we
- 22:44Speaker 2: did game ball? Uh, Mike Tarico his first ever Super
- 22:51Speaker 2: Bowl was a dud of a game. But he was good.
- 22:53Speaker 2: He was good. Yeah, he was good. I thought Kaylee
- 22:55Speaker 2: Hartung and herd for a Super Bowl was also good.
- 22:57Speaker 2: On the side. Collin's worth is collins worth.
- 22:59Speaker 1: You either love him or hate him already, But that
- 23:01Speaker 1: was his sixth Super Bowl and he was He talks
- 23:04Speaker 1: a lot, but he's generally pretty good.
- 23:06Speaker 2: And he was I did like that.
- 23:07Speaker 3: You know, early on he's hammering Drake May. Yeah, he
- 23:10Speaker 3: was getting a yeah, he was totally fair Ham.
- 23:13Speaker 1: No, it was like the tenth time that he told us,
- 23:15Speaker 1: it was uh that this is gonna be a defensive battle.
- 23:19Speaker 1: I was like, you're driving down Romo Boulevard here, like, yeah,
- 23:22Speaker 1: we all see that, Like, yes, Mike a lot.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I don't know unless you start seeing Patrick Mahomes come
- 23:28Speaker 2: out of here and nobody and start throwing touchdowns like
- 23:31Speaker 2: he does. I don't think we're seeing something here. It
- 23:33Speaker 2: looks like it's gonna be a defensive.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Game, said Dan Patrick, who had those guys on together
- 23:37Speaker 1: last week, and he asked him about like the Mahomes fixation,
- 23:40Speaker 1: how he gets crushed for that, because they were both saying,
- 23:43Speaker 1: like Collins were said, every time people come up to him, why.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Do you hate my team? They all get that. Joe
- 23:48Speaker 2: Bunley talks about it, they all get that. But his
- 23:52Speaker 2: glazing of Mahomes is well documented, and he's.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Like, you know, what do I do that? Like?
- 23:56Speaker 2: Do I really do that? I ears like and Patrick
- 24:00Speaker 2: Mahomes he makes all the throws he's awesome, and now's
- 24:03Speaker 2: why he's the Sports Illustrated swimsuit Like good, good for him.
- 24:06Speaker 2: He's living a life. I like to celebrate that, you know.
- 24:08Speaker 2: And there's the guys out there. He's a pretty good players.
- 24:11Speaker 2: A guy that glaze, that's the thing that's cracky, could
- 24:13Speaker 2: be a worse one. Yeah, I mean the guy does
- 24:15Speaker 2: make a lot of good plays a lot, so that's
- 24:18Speaker 2: but it is Madden level now with farv where his
- 24:21Speaker 2: ability to randomly bring mahomes into a game between like
- 24:25Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers and Chargers. Yeah, that's the impressive feet.
- 24:29Speaker 2: He definitely has a man.
- 24:32Speaker 1: But then Tarico went down in the field that was
- 24:34Speaker 1: hosting like Primetime Alive in Milan and the Olympics.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Now he's getting on a plane and going to Mila.
- 24:39Speaker 2: He's one of the most impressive guys in brought. That's incredible.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:42Speaker 2: So yeah, he deserves his flowers. But a nerdy sports
- 24:46Speaker 2: broadcasting one is how on earth did the ESPN let
- 24:48Speaker 2: him go? That's a great point. I mean, like you
- 24:51Speaker 2: there for the long time there were the questions of
- 24:54Speaker 2: like how do you fix Monday night football? Well, you
- 24:56Speaker 2: know what, you didn't need it to be fixed. Was
- 24:58Speaker 2: when Mike Turico was calling with John Gruden. Now, granted
- 25:01Speaker 2: Gruden went down to the coaching sidelines, uh and Andtoiico
- 25:04Speaker 2: had a free agency and had all these different opportunities
- 25:07Speaker 2: in front of him, but he was the best thing
- 25:09Speaker 2: that ESPN had for a long time on the play
- 25:11Speaker 2: by play deals, and then all of a sudden he
- 25:13Speaker 2: skated and they were They've been left to try and
- 25:16Speaker 2: find that answer for a long time and then just
- 25:18Speaker 2: pay whatever money they could for Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
- 25:20Speaker 2: They said, all right, we're going to fix it this way.
- 25:22Speaker 1: How about a game ball to Kenneth Walker the second
- 25:24Speaker 1: for attending his first NFL game.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Yeah, good for him. Good good dad on that. Good choice, Yeah,
- 25:32Speaker 3: good choice on that one.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Pops of like crowds, Pops of the Super Bowl MVP
- 25:37Speaker 2: does not like crowds, so he has never gone to
- 25:39Speaker 2: a game. But Drew Kenneth did say after the game,
- 25:41Speaker 2: he's like, my dad will come to Seattle. He just
- 25:43Speaker 2: won't go to the game. Well, I feel like that way,
- 25:46Speaker 2: you're doing the hard party, and for most people, the
- 25:49Speaker 2: hard part is getting into am and flying to Seattle,
- 25:52Speaker 2: hitting yourself there. The easy thing would be, let's find
- 25:56Speaker 2: him into a suite, into the family room. But listen,
- 25:58Speaker 2: hey supports this point.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Thought that he like he will, loves the support, but
- 26:02Speaker 3: he doesn't want to walk on the crowd. But if
- 26:03Speaker 3: you're making the trip to Seattle, you're showing it. You know,
- 26:05Speaker 3: you're showing the actions.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Also shout out to the agent who apparently wanted to
- 26:09Speaker 2: convince him game ball.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:11Speaker 2: When he's answering the question like did you convince him,
- 26:15Speaker 2: and he goes, no, I wasn't the one that actually
- 26:17Speaker 2: convinced him. Did anyone not think that he was going
- 26:20Speaker 2: to say his mom was the one to convince him,
- 26:22Speaker 2: exactly right, Like, no, no, my mom told me told
- 26:24Speaker 2: him that he had to be there. He's like, either's
- 26:26Speaker 2: no way you're not going to be there. But an
- 26:28Speaker 2: agent doing what he's paid to do. Game Ball to our.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Local NBC affiliate, w TMJ TV got a localized We
- 26:39Speaker 1: had their news, the morning news on earlier, and they
- 26:41Speaker 1: you got to localized national stories like some one of
- 26:44Speaker 1: the one of the five one hundred performers in the
- 26:48Speaker 1: halftime show with Bad Bunny was a dancer from Waukeshaw Wow.
- 26:53Speaker 1: And then they Also, they also interviewed one of Elliott
- 26:55Speaker 1: Wolfe's teachers from Green Bed Beautiful.
- 26:57Speaker 2: There's always a local angle and that's that's just I
- 27:00Speaker 2: have that. That's just the ASSYMNM and editors are doing
- 27:03Speaker 2: work down there.
- 27:04Speaker 3: I've been. That is from great great stuff, great work there.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Kind of speaking of NBC and coverage, can I do
- 27:10Speaker 3: the coverage is fine? Kind of do a game ball
- 27:12Speaker 3: and kick to the ball here, all right? Olympic one
- 27:14Speaker 3: for you? Game ball and a kick to the ball
- 27:16Speaker 3: to the same person, Lindsay Von. Wow, game ball, Lindsay Von.
- 27:22Speaker 3: For probably one of the guttiest things you'll ever see
- 27:24Speaker 3: is someone trying to do an Olympic Alpine run, an
- 27:27Speaker 3: Olympic ski run on a ruptured ACL. I can't imagine
- 27:30Speaker 3: anything that takes more courage and fortitude to try and
- 27:34Speaker 3: risk with injury and pain and risk more to try
- 27:37Speaker 3: and get it. Also, kick to the ball to Lindsay Von,
- 27:42Speaker 3: who clearly should have known that she had no chance
- 27:45Speaker 3: to do anything there, took the took the attention away
- 27:47Speaker 3: from from Breezy Johnson, who actually won the gold.
- 27:50Speaker 2: And I gotta say a little hero complex there.
- 27:53Speaker 3: You gotta have a little hero complex to try and
- 27:56Speaker 3: compete in a downhill Olympic.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Run on a on a torn ad c l like,
- 28:01Speaker 2: come on, practiced already, I mean you you I don't.
- 28:06Speaker 2: She might have taken some run like practice.
- 28:08Speaker 3: That's definitely her last one, like I last one, last chance.
- 28:12Speaker 3: That's why I gave her the game ball for the
- 28:14Speaker 3: grittiness and the and and you know, the courage and
- 28:18Speaker 3: the kick to the ball, because I think it's all
- 28:19Speaker 3: you got.
- 28:22Speaker 2: I just drop out.
- 28:23Speaker 3: I just I just think there's a little hero complex
- 28:25Speaker 3: there when you're yeah, I think you do. I think
- 28:27Speaker 3: when you have a torn a cl you drop out.
- 28:29Speaker 3: You have an expectation that you can really do this
- 28:31Speaker 3: run without But maybe I'm wrong. That's why I think
- 28:34Speaker 3: there's there's a duality here.
- 28:36Speaker 1: The sports moments in our lives have been players performing
- 28:40Speaker 1: with injuries.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Happen, and that's the game ball part of it. I
- 28:48Speaker 2: struggled with it because like when when you you talk
- 28:51Speaker 2: about this with with football players a lot like you
- 28:53Speaker 2: can't figure out why somebody wouldn't come back if they
- 28:56Speaker 2: have a little bit left in the tank. Lindsey Vaughan's like,
- 28:58Speaker 2: this is my lasts, Like I am, this is gonna
- 29:02Speaker 2: be the last time I'm gonna be at the Olympics.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Not in the broadcast booth. I was in the broadcast
- 29:06Speaker 2: booth last time, forty one years old. Like, sure, if
- 29:10Speaker 2: I can put the biggest brace possible on this thing,
- 29:13Speaker 2: I'm gonna try it. I watched a couple of guys
- 29:16Speaker 2: drew one of my one of my classmates and one
- 29:18Speaker 2: of my roommates back in college. Again, it's Division III
- 29:20Speaker 2: football you're paying to play, not the Olympics. However, last games,
- 29:25Speaker 2: if he was ever gonna play, he blew out his
- 29:26Speaker 2: acl and did everything he could to try to find
- 29:29Speaker 2: a way to play. Play in like two games. It
- 29:30Speaker 2: was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. However,
- 29:34Speaker 2: it did pop and then all of a sudden it
- 29:36Speaker 2: was done, and there was more stuff to it. But
- 29:38Speaker 2: it's it kicked to the balls that it happened. But
- 29:40Speaker 2: I can't give her a kick to the balls in
- 29:42Speaker 2: any way, shape or form for choosing to play or
- 29:44Speaker 2: choosing to do it.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Yeah, how about a game ball to your Milwaukee Bucks.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Come on, now, we're missing Serge for of the year,
- 29:53Speaker 1: but getting Cam Thomas. He could have gone somewhere else where.
- 29:56Speaker 1: They he was poised for playoff success, but he chose
- 29:58Speaker 1: to come and like try to, you know, learn from Giannis,
- 30:01Speaker 1: try to like reposition himself for the next chapter.
- 30:04Speaker 2: And I thought the interesting part was the quote that
- 30:07Speaker 2: he reportedly gave as well to Mark Spears, when he said,
- 30:11Speaker 2: I picked Milwaukee because they wanted me and told me
- 30:13Speaker 2: that they've been interested for years now. So it's good
- 30:15Speaker 2: to have this opportunity to come to Fruition. I'm hoping
- 30:17Speaker 2: to just meet everybody, get to know and contribute as
- 30:19Speaker 2: soon as possible. They wanted it for years now, They've
- 30:21Speaker 2: they've had their name attached to them. But this is
- 30:24Speaker 2: the weird part of NBA trades where it's like, yeah,
- 30:27Speaker 2: this guy's too valuable for us to trade for just anything,
- 30:30Speaker 2: but he's not valuable enough for us to want to
- 30:33Speaker 2: keep pay and or play significant minute. Like it's a
- 30:36Speaker 2: weird spot for a lot of these different teams, but
- 30:39Speaker 2: he can fill it up, and if there's any I
- 30:43Speaker 2: appreciate the pluckiness. Now you want to talk about a
- 30:46Speaker 2: team that might air, and it might be best if
- 30:49Speaker 2: they do not find a way to crawl out of
- 30:51Speaker 2: this three and a half game hole that they have
- 30:53Speaker 2: going into the play in tournament with Giannis potentially coming
- 30:56Speaker 2: back after the All Star break, but they seem hell
- 31:00Speaker 2: bent on trying to find a way to do it.
- 31:02Speaker 2: True they find they seem poised to find a way
- 31:06Speaker 2: to try to extend this season with the honest and
- 31:08Speaker 2: I think you gotta give them an admirable credit for it.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do. I know
- 31:12Speaker 2: a lot of NBA people don't like it, but they've
- 31:15Speaker 2: chosen their path and they're gonna stick to it. I
- 31:17Speaker 2: think that's an applaud that.
- 31:18Speaker 3: That's another one where you could give a game handy kick.
- 31:20Speaker 3: I think we're trying to win.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Ben on the Talk of text line eight seven seven
- 31:23Speaker 1: seven nine four three brought to us by Nicolay Law.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Don't forget Milwaukee's own sister Strings performing with Brandy Carlisle pregame.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Hey, there we go.
- 31:33Speaker 1: That was a Milwaukee flavor to the pregame. So did
- 31:36Speaker 1: Charlie Pooth hit the over the under?
- 31:38Speaker 3: You know?
- 31:39Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought probably over because he seemed
- 31:42Speaker 2: to have some some long pacing to him. It seemed
- 31:45Speaker 2: like that start looked felt over to me.
- 31:47Speaker 3: I thought they were gonna stop booking that because everyone
- 31:49Speaker 3: was getting the rehearsal time and feeding it out to people.
- 31:52Speaker 2: I thought I saw a story how she and polymarket.
- 31:55Speaker 3: It's littered with people with inside information manipulating market.
- 31:58Speaker 2: By the way, you brought up she go ahead, game ball.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Yanna said that a goomball, game ball. Let's go sucket losers.
- 32:07Speaker 2: He's getting the money. I get, I get. You might
- 32:09Speaker 2: not like it. It's probably definitely a conflict of interest
- 32:12Speaker 2: a thousand percent true. But if they're going to give
- 32:15Speaker 2: me some money for it, he said, I'm ready for
- 32:17Speaker 2: that check now. Yeah, he's an investor though right now,
- 32:22Speaker 2: but I don't know what. He's just gonna endorse it. Yeah,
- 32:25Speaker 2: he's gonna endorse you and put out the graphic for it. Listen,
- 32:28Speaker 2: you know what, Hey, go get your money, young man.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Go get your money, young man. I'm proud of him.
- 32:33Speaker 2: I'm not gonna use it, but go for you.
- 32:35Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick up for sports books here a little bit.
- 32:38Speaker 3: Who have long complained about prediction markets not being classified
- 32:41Speaker 3: as gambling.
- 32:41Speaker 2: No, it's that's the biggest crock there is.
- 32:44Speaker 3: There's no question that is one of the biggest crocs ever.
- 32:46Speaker 3: So everyone wants to say that sports books are as
- 32:49Speaker 3: bad as a I'm like, oh, but you'll do prediction
- 32:51Speaker 3: markets and speculating on socks. No, I'm sorry, that's gambling.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Prediction markets are gambling. I don't think how can anyone
- 32:56Speaker 3: deny that thousand percent?
- 32:59Speaker 2: And they do it there. They're doing it like very
- 33:02Speaker 2: very shadily on how they're getting money around and like
- 33:05Speaker 2: allowing you to put different money on it much less regulated.
- 33:08Speaker 2: If he's if you're gonna make money on it, He's like, wait,
- 33:11Speaker 2: this is a sinking ship. But I saw a lot
- 33:12Speaker 2: of people make a lot of money in crypto. I'm
- 33:14Speaker 2: gonna jump myself in there, grab money and get out.
- 33:16Speaker 2: People have lost a lot of money in crypto recently.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Get out as soon as possible, make the money and
- 33:20Speaker 2: get out early.
- 33:21Speaker 1: It's wild, get out in front of it, and uh well,
- 33:24Speaker 1: game ball, speaking of Jiannest, game ball to our buddy
- 33:26Speaker 1: Mike Clemens, because I don't know if those were his
- 33:28Speaker 1: photos or not, but he's the first person I saw
- 33:29Speaker 1: that pictures of Gianni's exiting Levi Staateles.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you, I don't know. Drew looked like he
- 33:36Speaker 2: was moving pretty well. Yeah, well, he's moving pretty well.
- 33:41Speaker 2: He will he be in Orlando tonight? Where the bucks?
- 33:42Speaker 2: Will he be back? It sounded like he might want
- 33:45Speaker 2: to be uh wanted to play in this All Star
- 33:47Speaker 2: game coming up this weekend. I think he wanted to
- 33:49Speaker 2: play all the time.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right, and just coach, and how about
- 33:53Speaker 3: the USA versus the World coming up this weekend might
- 33:57Speaker 3: be a little bit more motivation to want to play.
- 33:59Speaker 2: He's in my good and let me get out of
- 34:00Speaker 2: the speaking of Micha, let me give a quick kick
- 34:02Speaker 2: to the balls. He's not for him.
- 34:05Speaker 3: But he showed what it cost to get two sodas,
- 34:07Speaker 3: two hot dogs, and a popcorn at the game. It
- 34:10Speaker 3: was like four hundred bucks. I'm sorry, that's crazy. That's
- 34:13Speaker 3: just disrespectful to the people.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Man.
- 34:15Speaker 3: You can't. You can't gouge people like I mean, you
- 34:17Speaker 3: can I know, two SODA's, two dogs, bag of chips,
- 34:19Speaker 3: popcorn four hundred bucks. That's just absolutely so. I thought, damn,
- 34:25Speaker 3: but I'm not calling Mike Clemmons a lot.
- 34:27Speaker 2: He had to be like, that's just you can't. How
- 34:30Speaker 2: could it be that much? Right, we'll google it up,
- 34:32Speaker 2: but yeah, there's no way. That's tough. I think so.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe either, but reading it, I know
- 34:37Speaker 1: it's expensive there because I was. I bought a big
- 34:39Speaker 1: soda Jerry World and it was pretty expensive. But yeah,
- 34:41Speaker 1: all right, we will discuss. Oh my goodness, already timed it.
