- 0:28after a two -day free trial. And we actually
- 0:59had some madness this year, which was pretty
- 1:02cool. Last year was, I don't want to say devoid
- 1:07of madness, but it was. But anyway, we're going
- 1:12to talk about all the games that happened and
- 1:14possibly what the games that are coming on on
- 1:18Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or whatever
- 1:20the schedule is. I guess I should have looked
- 1:23at that before starting the podcast, but I will
- 1:25say hello to the gents first and then we'll go
- 1:27over records. Chris, how are you? I'm good. Um,
- 1:32yeah. First weekend of March madness, but best
- 1:35sporting weekend of the year in the books. Um,
- 1:38I would say the first day, like Thursday alone
- 1:41was better than the entire first weekend last
- 1:44year in terms of like, not even just upsets,
- 1:49but which we had a couple, but just good games.
- 1:53Cause it felt like every game last year was a
- 1:55blowout, even though One like upset with McNeese
- 1:58ever Clemson McNeese beat the shit out of them.
- 2:01So it was never like madness. So, but yeah, great
- 2:06first day. Great. I want to say great first weekend.
- 2:08Very solid first weekend. Um, yeah, it was great.
- 2:12Um, I was up one unit, I believe total on the
- 2:16weekend, which when you're going through a gauntlet
- 2:18like that, you'll take it. So, but yeah, it's,
- 2:21I hate this. This four -day stretch after the
- 2:27first weekend of the tournament is maybe the
- 2:28worst four days of the sporting calendar because
- 2:31there's well What the fuck am I supposed to do
- 2:34now? Overall doing good Yeah, Sean. How you doing?
- 2:39Yeah, so you were betting on some hockey tonight.
- 2:43So that's It's pretty low. Shout out trend center
- 2:47Yeah, usually don't bet hockey unless there's
- 2:52nothing else going on. No offense to hockey at
- 2:56all, but it's just kind of the rule. I'm doing
- 3:03all right. My madness was pretty awful. Pretty
- 3:09terrible. I'll just go into records now. I went
- 3:14five and three on Thursday. Then Friday, I went
- 3:18one and eight. Yeah, and then on Sunday or Saturday
- 3:27I went I only had two bets and I went oh and
- 3:31two then I went to the the Preds game and bet
- 3:35Preds money line and Stamco skull So I got some
- 3:41got some money out of that and then a live bet
- 3:45Texas money line like plus 240 that one that
- 3:49was correct about it, but Yeah, Sunday, I think
- 3:53was like three and four Not great, but okay passable
- 3:59but Yeah How did y 'all do? So I threw a bet
- 4:09on every single game Just a quarter quarter unit
- 4:13you know Just just to feel something just has
- 4:16some action on a on every game essentially I
- 4:23care a little bit about each game Thursday I
- 4:27went seven and nine Friday I went eight and eight
- 4:31and then Saturday I went five and three and Sunday
- 4:36I went four three and oh Which brings it to twenty
- 4:40four twenty and one No, wait Sunday was four
- 4:44three and one so it's twenty four twenty and
- 4:48one So I'm up not too bad you know um it took
- 4:54pretty roundabout way of going up like a unit
- 4:58maybe but you know we're uh we're here we're
- 5:01kicking and we're uh we're still alive but uh
- 5:04but i guess let's um i got the espn app here
- 5:08uh pulled up i'm gonna let me just uh talk through
- 5:11some of these games here uh so the first game
- 5:14tcu ohio state i can't hear you sean I was going
- 5:22to ask what Chris Chris's record was. I don't
- 5:26know. I couldn't find my exact record because
- 5:28I was just throwing like half unit plays out
- 5:30a lot. But overall, when I was checking picket
- 5:33right now, overall went up one unit on Thursday
- 5:37through Sunday. So. OK, not much, but we'll take
- 5:41it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm riding that boat, Chris.
- 5:47But the first game, which. actually broke, busted,
- 5:55I believe 58 % of the brackets, which was TCU,
- 5:58Ohio State, and I had Ohio State. Obviously that
- 6:01didn't happen. So I don't know, but that game,
- 6:05pretty good game for game one. Honestly, you
- 6:08know, an eight and a nine can sometimes be a
- 6:12little bit of a toss up, but hey, pretty good
- 6:17basketball. Not too bad. Um, TCU with the upset,
- 6:21I guess, you know, whatever you want to call
- 6:24it. Um, and then I think, uh, the second game
- 6:27we, I think everyone in our group chat had Troy
- 6:30and that didn't work. They, they had some life
- 6:36there in the beginning. They were shooting pretty
- 6:38well, but yeah, after about seven minutes, they
- 6:41were dead as a door. Yeah. I'll, uh, I'll just
- 6:45skip around here. I'm not going to go through
- 6:47every game. Um, High point beat Wisconsin. That
- 6:52was, uh, that was crazy. I bet. I think I had,
- 6:55I think I had a high point plus 10 on that one.
- 6:59And, uh, man, that was crazy. I just wanted him
- 7:01to keep it close. I didn't think that they would
- 7:03actually pull that off. I had Wisconsin minus
- 7:0610 and a half. And once I knew they weren't going
- 7:08to cover, I was like, fuck it. Let's go high
- 7:11point because Wisconsin was up by like eight
- 7:15or maybe even 10. with like six minutes left,
- 7:19eight minutes, six minutes left. I was like,
- 7:21Oh, okay. We can actually get this cover. And
- 7:23they started choking. I was like, all right,
- 7:24I want high points to win outright at this point.
- 7:27And they did. And it was awesome. And I don't
- 7:30know if y 'all saw this, but the guy who hit
- 7:31that like layup that was essentially clenched
- 7:35it. That was his first two point shot of the
- 7:37year. Yeah. I did see that. Yeah. Fucking crazy.
- 7:42This year's Jack Gulkey. Yeah, honestly. Hey
- 7:50Winners are made in March or something like that
- 7:52something like that. That's not applicable here.
- 7:54Anyway stars are made in March I don't know maybe
- 7:58just pulled that out of my ass who's to say but
- 8:00uh, but yeah, that was crazy He just knocks down
- 8:02threes. He never not a paint guy not a paint
- 8:07guy and then uh Sienna felt like there for a
- 8:13minute that they were going to beat Duke Which
- 8:16I think I had I had Duke minus 35 something like
- 8:21that and I was like, you know what? Sienna wins
- 8:23this It's fine Yeah, that was that was my first
- 8:30brutal beat of the tournament I had under 135
- 8:34and a half and a live bet Duke minus six and
- 8:38a half at halftime I don't remember the exact
- 8:42final score, but 65 71 Yes, so if you can do
- 8:48some quick math that is Duke winning by six and
- 8:51136 total points So double nut just a kick to
- 8:59each nut I Had the over in that one. That was
- 9:05a miracle Sorry, yeah, I mean I had stopped paying
- 9:09like really paying attention to the total because
- 9:11it was like It was cruising at halftime. So I
- 9:15was like, whatever, I'm just going to lie back
- 9:17and do, let's try to salvage this. And then towards
- 9:19the end I was like, shit, nobody's making any
- 9:21shots. Like this under has life and then nobody
- 9:24scored. That's like five minutes. And then yes,
- 9:28seeing a back door, it was awful. Let's see any
- 9:34other notable ones. I mean, it felt like, um,
- 9:39we were all kind of on Arkansas, but like, The
- 9:44the the feel was like the the under was the play
- 9:46just because Hawaii's type of defense that they
- 9:49play but it was also kind of like Hey, man, this
- 9:54is it. This is like a real deal team. Like they're
- 9:57they're going to make some baskets here So and
- 10:00that game ended 97 to 78 so like I I feel I don't
- 10:05know if you guys took the under but It definitely
- 10:09went over I had Arkansas minus like what, 17
- 10:12and a half or whatever it was. I had that as
- 10:15well. I don't remember. I might not have had
- 10:19that. And then VCU upset North Carolina. I think
- 10:25we were all kind of on VCU. But what a collapse
- 10:29by North Carolina. Yeah, that was... They just
- 10:32fell apart. They even said it like on the broadcast
- 10:36when VCU... Do you even really going to run that?
- 10:39I think it was like a five -o run or something
- 10:41like that to cut it to 15. The commentators like
- 10:45North Carolina, they've had a couple big blown
- 10:47leads in the second half. I think North Carolina
- 10:49scored like six points after that regulation.
- 10:54Dude, this is March. That game rocked. That was
- 10:59a this is March moment. Yeah. This is March moment
- 11:02of the day. Um, Mean next horrible game. I mean
- 11:05the the next upset was Texas beats BYU Texas
- 11:09had to win a separate game just to get in the
- 11:12tournament and I know I had that in my bracket
- 11:16I mean it was already busted at this point as
- 11:19soon as Ohio State went out, but You know me
- 11:23and half of America But But yeah, I don't really
- 11:28think I watched that game I didn't pay too close
- 11:30attention because it was on the quad box and
- 11:32I think something else was happening Oh, the
- 11:34Predator scored. I also took the Predators today,
- 11:37Chris. Let's go. Because I saw a stat that we
- 11:41had beaten the Sharks in the last 13 straight
- 11:44meetings. And I was like, oh. I saw something
- 11:47on the trend center about it. That might have
- 11:49been it, honestly. I don't remember the exact
- 11:51stat, but it was on some hell of a streak. Yeah.
- 11:54Big game. Big game, too. Yes. Very big game.
- 12:01St. Louis, I mean, I guess they upset. Georgia
- 12:04in eight and a nine team, but it's like I've
- 12:06never even heard of St. Louis College. I mean,
- 12:10they beat the fuck out of them. They could not
- 12:13stop every shot. They just chucked up. It seemed
- 12:17like it was no doubt. It was I bet St. Louis
- 12:21and I was hesitant about it. I was like, I had
- 12:23Georgia's good offense. St. Louis, you know,
- 12:26they never really played this kind of team before.
- 12:28I mean, it was just a blitzkrieg. This is March.
- 12:33Shout out Kareem Abdul -Jabbar. Finally got his
- 12:36March moment. That was awesome. Rest in peace.
- 12:42He's out of the tournament now. We'll never see
- 12:49him again. RIP. I'm pretty sure both he and the
- 12:56actual Kareem are both still alive. I just kind
- 13:02of like saying RIP to those people that are just
- 13:04gone. Just not on my television for the foreseeable
- 13:08future. It was like at your bachelor party. We
- 13:12were talking about this play that Logan Ryan
- 13:14did. Now it's just like RIP. And Josh was like,
- 13:17pretty sure he's still alive. I'm like, he is.
- 13:22Oh, he's alive and well. Yeah. Moving on to Friday.
- 13:28Do you guys watch the Santa Clara, Kentucky game,
- 13:30right? I fortunately missed the second half.
- 13:37I was, we had to take care of some wedding shit.
- 13:40So we left around halftime and I'm very thankful
- 13:44that I did not see that. I was keeping up with
- 13:47the like game cast, but I'm very thankful. I
- 13:50did not see that live because I would have lost.
- 13:52I would have died. I was, uh, I was working from
- 13:56home and I took, I took Kentucky minus three.
- 13:59Um, And then they, they hit the three to tie
- 14:02it up and then they went to overtime and they
- 14:04won by five. And I was like, Holy shit. This
- 14:07is crazy. Once I saw so much madness, once it
- 14:11went to overtime, I was like, yeah, cause I just
- 14:13had Santa Clara plus three and a half or yes.
- 14:15Once it went over Thomas, they don't have a fucking
- 14:18chance. Kentucky is going to cover. Yeah. I was,
- 14:22uh, I got home from work, took bandit to the
- 14:24dog park, uh, was watching it on my phone. while
- 14:28throwing the ball. And we went to overtime. I
- 14:31was like, we're cooked. That's it. Because I
- 14:34had Santa Clara Moneyline. And I was like, it's
- 14:36done. This is where the dogs go to die. And I
- 14:42was not surprised at all by the outcome. But
- 14:46they made some really dumb mistakes in overtime,
- 14:49too. I was we had we went into like, pay for
- 14:56our Like tables and chairs and shit for the wedding.
- 15:00And I was away from my phone or it wasn't looking
- 15:04at it for 10, 15 minutes. I, we got out of the
- 15:08car. Santa Clara was looking good. Akron plus
- 15:10seven half. They were keeping it close. It was
- 15:13awesome. Got back in the car, saw what happened
- 15:16in Kentucky, Santa Clara, and then Akron was
- 15:18losing by like 20. I was like, what the fuck
- 15:22happened? Yeah. This was my, uh, one in. Eight
- 15:28day. So as soon as the Santa Clara game ended
- 15:30I was like today's gonna be bad That's not a
- 15:33good sign. Yeah, and then it proceeded to not
- 15:36be good Mm -hmm. Yeah, I also had Akron and Because
- 15:44I think I was just writing everyone because everyone
- 15:48had Akron That didn't work out, but that's alright
- 15:54Notable things from Friday. Iowa state beat the
- 15:56shit out of Tennessee state. Uh, their second
- 16:00best players hurt too, for, I mean, he didn't
- 16:03play against Kentucky and I don't think he's
- 16:06going to play against Tennessee, but we'll see.
- 16:11Um, that really was a kick in the nuts for my
- 16:13future. Damn. Well, what does he got? Uh, I think
- 16:19ankle sprain or something with his ankle. It's
- 16:21not a high ankle sprain. So he's not like officially
- 16:24done, but he was in like one of those like scooter
- 16:27things that you like when you put your knee on,
- 16:30he was on that for the, um, Kentucky game. So.
- 16:34Thanks. Yeah. Selfishly kind of hope he doesn't
- 16:38play against Tennessee, but I think we have much
- 16:41of a chance anyway, if I'm being honest. Let's
- 16:46see. Utah State beat Villanova. It's kind of
- 16:51an upset. That was a fun game. Yeah. Iowa beat
- 16:58Clemson. That's another nine and eight. But still,
- 17:03that game was close. Florida beat the fuck out
- 17:11of Prairie View. Beat them by over 60 points.
- 17:17Yeah. I saw that was the second biggest like
- 17:21blowout in tournament history. So I afterwards,
- 17:24I don't have the list in front of me, but I looked
- 17:26it up after the third biggest blowout was, I
- 17:31think it was Kansas beat pro review back in like
- 17:35the late nineties, early two thousands by like
- 17:3758. So pro review has made the tournament three
- 17:41times. Two of them have been two of the biggest
- 17:45blowouts in tournament history. Damn. It's pretty
- 17:49cool. Yeah. Real quick, shout out UCF plus five
- 17:54and a half back door cover. Only one of the day.
- 17:57Only one of the day. Got to shout it out. Yeah,
- 18:01I also had UCF there and that was a sweat. Nothing
- 18:10really else notable. I mean, I guess Miami beat
- 18:12Missouri. It's a seven and a 10. So that was
- 18:15an upset. I think I had Miami in that one as
- 18:17well. Um, that's basically it for Friday. Yeah.
- 18:22Friday was boring. Yeah. Other than like Kentucky
- 18:25game, everything after that was, I mean, Utah
- 18:29state Villanova was entertaining, but like, I
- 18:32don't know. It wasn't like, holy shit, this is
- 18:34amazing. But yeah. And Saturday, I mean, Michigan
- 18:42state, I mean, they beat Louisville, Michigan,
- 18:44Michigan beat St. Louis pretty. Pretty straightforward
- 18:49there. Anything else happen on Saturday? That's
- 18:52of note, uh, Texas beat Gonzaga. I think that
- 18:55was awesome bracket as well. I, I didn't have
- 18:58in my bracket, but I did have, I bet Texas plus
- 19:01whatever they were. I put the on spread. I think
- 19:05I had Texas on that one as well. Uh, Oh, predator
- 19:10scored again. Uh, Matthew would. Was really hoping
- 19:14that uh that high point would keep it close against
- 19:17Arkansas and I mean they they did for the most
- 19:21part I Think I think the spread was like 12.
- 19:25I think they did cover Yeah, I think they lost
- 19:28by single digits. Yeah, I think 80 might have
- 19:31got away from Yeah, that's single digits, right?
- 19:35Yeah six Did you single -digit Yeah True. Um,
- 19:45did you see the end of the Vanderbilt Nebraska
- 19:47game? Yes. Uh, game of the tournament. That was
- 19:52another, I mean, it's always good day when Vanderbilt
- 19:55loses at anything, but that, that would have
- 19:59cashed the over, but to hit like every single
- 20:07side of the rim, the rim is a circle to hit everything,
- 20:11but Go in the net is so, Oh God. He had, I had
- 20:19Vandy go into the lead eight. So that sucked.
- 20:23I don't know if you saw on Twitter, somebody
- 20:25posted like, this isn't even the first time that's
- 20:27happened to, um, happened to them this season.
- 20:30And it was the same guy shot against Missouri
- 20:33shot from pretty much the exact same spot on
- 20:35the court. And it rimmed out. Absolutely brutal.
- 20:43That is brutal. I mean, that's it for Saturday,
- 20:46Sunday. Iowa State beat Kentucky. Purdue beat
- 20:54Miami, St. John's beat Kansas by two. I don't
- 21:01think they covered, though. They did not. No,
- 21:03they did not, because there was minus three and
- 21:05a half. That made me sad. Yes. But I saw a side
- 21:11by side thing. It was the Kansas or the St. John's
- 21:14winner with that layup. And it was like the guy,
- 21:17the layup was crazy because he almost went like
- 21:20this. The angle he took was crazy. And the picture
- 21:23of it, the ball looked like it was like slipping
- 21:26away from him. I don't really know how he got
- 21:28con or control over it. But it's a picture of
- 21:31that side by side with the Vandy buzzer beater
- 21:34like. almost buzzer beater and it was literally
- 21:38that ball like halfway in the basket. And then
- 21:40the St. John's guy almost losing the ball out
- 21:43of bounds. And it was like the one on the right
- 21:45went in the one in the left did not. Yeah. Nuts.
- 21:53Should I go to water? I guess the most notable
- 21:57thing that happened on Sunday was Iowa upsetting
- 22:00Florida. That was I, I did not have that. I did
- 22:03not see that coming. When when he hit that last
- 22:06that last shot and like Florida had like two
- 22:10seconds to score I was like Yeah, and one of
- 22:15the worst like game -winning possession potential
- 22:18gaming possessions, I think I've ever seen Florida
- 22:22point guard just dribbled it under the basket
- 22:24and then just turned it over Yeah, that's not
- 22:29a good look Real quick about this game, um, Ben
- 22:33McCollum, the new Iowa coach. Are you familiar
- 22:36with his, uh, overall career resume? No, the
- 22:40guy just wins fucking basketball games. It's
- 22:44crazy. This is, I have, I found the tweet cause
- 22:46I wanted to bring it up. Um, this is since 2017,
- 22:51like his, um, tournament or postseason success.
- 22:57So 2017 D2 national champion, uh, 2018 lost in
- 23:01the first round of the D2 tournament, 19 D2 national
- 23:05champion, 20 canceled, 21 D2 national champion,
- 23:0922 D2 national champion, 23 D2 second round,
- 23:1624 D2 sweet 16, last year round of 32 when they
- 23:23beat Missouri, when Drake beat Missouri in the
- 23:26first round and then this year sweet 16. Good
- 23:31guy. He has not lost more than five games in
- 23:34a season in that span. What? That's wow. What
- 23:44team was he on in D2? I have some directional
- 23:47Missouri school. Let me find out directional
- 23:50like Southwest Missouri or something like that.
- 23:55Interesting. Good for that guy. Northwest Missouri
- 24:00State. And then was at Drake for a year. And
- 24:06then now at Iowa. All right. I just wins basketball
- 24:10games. It's fucking crazy. Right on. Oh, yeah.
- 24:16And then basically all of the other favorites
- 24:19won on on Sunday. So moving on to Thursday, I
- 24:25mean, like, let's just do like a quick little
- 24:26glance over, see what we like here. First game
- 24:30on Thursday is a Texas Purdue Looks like Purdue's
- 24:35favored by seven and a half and the total is
- 24:37148 and a half Hmm I Just it this just feels
- 24:45like this is where Texas is kind of story ends
- 24:49for me Just because I mean 11 seeds don't get
- 24:56here quite too often And, uh, there's kind of
- 24:58a reason why, but they've sort of been playing
- 25:02above their, uh, their, uh, their level there.
- 25:05And normally that, uh, hits the wall at some
- 25:08point. Yeah, I, I mean, I really want them to
- 25:11win this game, but I tend to agree with you.
- 25:14I'm to, I really don't know to the spread because
- 25:17Purdue has been playing some fantastic defense
- 25:20lately. So I really don't know what to do. I
- 25:23really want Texas to keep it close. I might just
- 25:25bet six and a half out of emotional. support,
- 25:27but I or seven and a half, whatever it is. I
- 25:31just, uh, uh, 15 point win from Purdue would
- 25:34not shock me. Yeah. This is where the, uh, the
- 25:39big gun show up. Um, Sean, do you have any, uh,
- 25:43any insight on this game or kind of like this
- 25:47over that could be it. That could be something.
- 25:53I'm 48 and a half in Texas. That's nice medium,
- 25:57medium number. Last three results result in 3
- 26:02-0 on the over. Okay, interesting. I might just
- 26:07do that. But uh oh. The next game, Iowa versus
- 26:19Nebraska. Just a bunch of corn eaters. Nebraska's
- 26:25favored by one and a half total is 132 I See
- 26:29this and I want to take the under Just because
- 26:34it feels like Iowa's pace is really slow and
- 26:38they're very comfortable It feels like if if
- 26:41Iowa plays if they can get Nebraska to play Iowa's
- 26:44game, then I was good definitely gonna come out
- 26:46on top But also like the first half of that last
- 26:51Nebraska game for playing Vandy. That first half
- 26:55of that game was incredible. Like both sides
- 26:59are just draining threes the whole time. So I
- 27:04don't know, I'm leaning under but based on based
- 27:09on our on Chris's analysis of this this Iowa
- 27:13coach, I'm like one and a half. Interesting.
- 27:18I do have some more Just hard -hitting analysis
- 27:24That you're not really gonna get anywhere else
- 27:28I'm Iowa Moneyline one because Ben McCombs at
- 27:32G2 Do you guys are you aware of the Twitter account
- 27:36Hawkeye insane? Oh No, so before the Florida
- 27:42game He had an infamous, if Iowa beats Florida
- 27:47in this game, I will shove a burrito up my ass.
- 27:53Iowa beat Florida and Hawkeye Insano is a man
- 27:57of his word. Really? Was that last year? No,
- 28:02that was Kansas State football. Is this the same
- 28:06guy? No, I surely don't know. What, what's his
- 28:13username again? Hawkeye, Hawkeye Insano. Um,
- 28:19and he did it and it's a, it's from that, like
- 28:22his, uh, profile picture is Captain Insano from
- 28:25Waterboy, big show. Yes. Um, he did it and it
- 28:30was a rather large burrito. Um, so out of solidarity,
- 28:36it's Iowa Moneyline. Also some actual analysis.
- 28:43Um, I don't hate that under they met in the regular
- 28:45season twice. One went to overtime. So the total
- 28:47was inflated. The one that ended in regulation,
- 28:50I think the score was like 55, 52 or something
- 28:52like that. So yeah, this game is probably going
- 28:55to be boring to watch, but at least from a points
- 28:59perspective, but, uh, it's Iowa money line for
- 29:02me. So is there a video of this dude shoving
- 29:04a burrito up his ass? Yeah, I'm watching it right
- 29:07now. You don't see everything but okay, it's
- 29:15him like front -facing and he's Takes the burrito
- 29:18out. He shoves it in his pants and oh, yeah,
- 29:22he shows it There's a there's our burrito sticking
- 29:25out the crack Yep, it's a pretty big burrito,
- 29:28too. Yeah chicken black beans corn rice sour
- 29:33cream and cheese Can't put hot sauce in there
- 29:37no, that'd be bad I was also thinking Iowa Moneyline
- 29:42before this, but now I'm just kind of all in.
- 29:45How do you not at this point? Yeah. He did that
- 29:48for nothing. Yeah. You didn't have to do that.
- 29:52We don't, but he did. Um, yeah. Well, he did
- 29:57have to be, if they would have been cursed if
- 30:00he didn't, because the Florida state fan, um,
- 30:04he was like, if we beat. Whoever that was a couple
- 30:08years ago is like we win this game I'm gonna
- 30:11eat a solo cup full of dog shit and they won
- 30:14and he didn't do it And I think they won two
- 30:17games the rest of the season. I Can't believe
- 30:22that X is free Right, I believe Twitter is free
- 30:29press to score again. All right, let's go Well
- 30:35next game Arkansas Arizona How do we even move
- 30:40on from this I don't know bro Arkansas versus
- 30:45there. I mean I'm looking at this and I'm thinking
- 30:47you know the total is 166 and a half I Think
- 30:52I just might have to bet that that over like
- 30:54I agree I feel like with offenses and like that
- 30:57to click and right now dude Arkansas does not
- 31:00play defense whatsoever. Yeah, Arizona some of
- 31:03them This is one of the most talented rosters
- 31:06in the country. Arizona or Arkansas pretty damn
- 31:09close second. If not, maybe on par. So yeah,
- 31:13I like that over. And then, uh, Illinois versus
- 31:18Houston, Houston minus three and a half totals
- 31:21one 40 and a half. This one's interesting. I
- 31:27feel like Houston. What was Houston's last matchup?
- 31:31Uh, they beat the shit out of A &M, Texas A &M.
- 31:35Yeah, they did. Then Illinois's last matchup.
- 31:40I mean, they beat the shit out of VCU. So, hmm.
- 31:44I'm taking Houston. Um, great defense. Illinois,
- 31:48really prolific offense, but if their shots aren't
- 31:50following, it can get kind of ugly. So I'm taking
- 31:53Houston, minus three and a half. I think that's
- 31:57probably the way to go there. All right That's
- 32:03Thursday and then Friday starts off with Dukes
- 32:06the Duke and st. John's Duke minus six and a
- 32:10half totals 141 and a half This is this this
- 32:15is tough because like that's it's kind of a big
- 32:18number For you know the tournament it's a five
- 32:23seed but also like st. John's been playing really
- 32:25good basketball and Duke has just like It's really
- 32:30weird cuz like after after the sienna game like
- 32:33they cleaned up whoever they They they fucking
- 32:36faced in the in the next round. So it's like
- 32:39I I mean that was a Three -point game at half
- 32:42the TCU game in the second round. So it's like
- 32:44they've really only played one Really good half
- 32:47a basketball this whole tournament I like the
- 32:51under personally, I think Do really good defense.
- 32:55They played a snail's pace St. John's solid defense.
- 32:58They want to run, but they are capable of playing
- 33:00a slow game. We saw against Kansas. I think I
- 33:03might sprinkle St. John's money line, but I think
- 33:05four unit would be under 141 and a half. I might
- 33:10have to pond that concur. Yeah. I like that.
- 33:13I was looking at that under and I was like, kind
- 33:15of like that. Plus these, they're going to new
- 33:17arenas now. So you kind of get like, you get
- 33:20the kind of like the shooters. slump in the first,
- 33:24at least first half of some of these games where
- 33:25they're not used to this kind of like the backdrop
- 33:28of a new arena. So it kind of throws them off.
- 33:32St. John's is not a particularly great shooting
- 33:34team anyway. I mean, Duke is fine, but, but yeah,
- 33:39I like the under. All right. And then, uh, Alabama,
- 33:43Michigan, Michigan favored by nine and a half
- 33:46total is 174 and a half. Damn. That's pretty
- 33:50high. Man I end up like Bama plus ten. That's
- 33:57so many fucking points That's so many points
- 33:59and I mean they just beat the living shit out
- 34:03of Texas Tech I mean once Bama I know some time
- 34:06off it's hard to kind of keep that kind of Offensive
- 34:09flow going but when Bama gets in that kind of
- 34:12zone, I mean good luck Yeah, they beat the shot
- 34:17of Hofstra too, I know that's like yeah and Hofstra
- 34:20like like I mean Hofstra kept it, kept it a game
- 34:24for most of the first half and a little bit into
- 34:27the second half. And then Alabama was like, you
- 34:29know what, we're just going to start making our
- 34:30shots and beat them by like 20. Yeah. And Michigan,
- 34:35like they are very good team. They're not particularly
- 34:38great three -point shooting team. So Bama is
- 34:41just draining them. It might be hard. I know
- 34:44Alabama plays like no defense, but if Michigan
- 34:46starts forcing shots, I mean, That might be another
- 34:52money line sprinkles If I'm being honest, just
- 34:55because if they're just gonna be that hot again,
- 34:57they can beat anybody Yeah Definitely. We'll
- 35:02see. I like Bama plus to cover though for sure.
- 35:04I do too. That's the largest spread all weekend
- 35:09Mm -hmm. It's insane Then next game These guys
- 35:16play basketball too They're also, they're a four
- 35:20seed. They're a very good team. I know. That's,
- 35:23that's what's so crazy to me is like St. Pete
- 35:25or anything. A four seed is 10 point dogs. That's
- 35:30fucking nuts. Michigan's not, I mean, they're
- 35:32very good. Don't get me wrong, but like in terms
- 35:34of like an elite, elite team, their offense can
- 35:37kind of go stagnant at times. I like, I like
- 35:41Alabama to keep it single digits, honestly. Yeah.
- 35:43I think Michigan can win this whole damn thing,
- 35:46but. I think Bama can stay right there with them.
- 35:50Michigan, I know they ended up pulling away big
- 35:52late, but Michigan had their hands full with
- 35:54Howard, like for a little bit over a half of
- 35:58the game. So, I mean, I know you're going to
- 36:01play Alabama way differently than you're going
- 36:03to play Howard, but it's still like, they can
- 36:06let teams get hot. Yeah. Crazy. Might ponder
- 36:13that one a little bit. Not probably I'm probably
- 36:17gonna end up taking Alabama. Okay moving on to
- 36:20the next game We got Michigan State playing Yukon
- 36:23Yukon is favored by one and a half total is 136
- 36:26and a half I Don't know I Don't know it's a head
- 36:34-scratcher. Yeah, I mean, I Think I like Michigan
- 36:39State Yukon is not played great in the tournament
- 36:45so far. I mean, Furman kept it. Furman covered
- 36:48against them. UCLA gave them a game. Didn't get
- 36:55a chance to talk about it when we were going
- 36:56over the first round games. UCLA is on my shit
- 37:01list. What a just pitiful, pitiful display of
- 37:05offense in that second half. That over was fucking
- 37:09cruising. I think... At one point I looked at
- 37:13what the live line was. I had over 135 and a
- 37:16half, 136 and a half. I think one time the live
- 37:19line was like 45, 46 and a half. It was like,
- 37:22okay, we're cruising. Let's just keep it up.
- 37:25We're fine. UCLA hit a mid -range jumper at 723
- 37:37left in the second half to make it a 58 -54 game.
- 37:41So at that point I needed 25 or yeah, 25 points
- 37:45and seven and a half minutes to hit this over.
- 37:48UCLA scored three points. The rest of the basketball
- 37:51game. Three. Fucking pitiful. Like I know Yukon's
- 38:00great defense, but three points. I mean, fuck
- 38:04UCLA. Fuck, Mick Cronin's just a crybaby bitch.
- 38:07I hate everything about UCLA. Their brand of
- 38:10basketball is disgusting. They don't play offense.
- 38:13It's just, ugh. And the fact that they're able
- 38:16to give UConn a game for most of that, for almost
- 38:20up until the last seven and a half minutes. I
- 38:24don't know. I like Michigan State. They're not
- 38:26gonna just stop scoring, especially for seven
- 38:29and a half minutes. So I like Michigan State.
- 38:34I think they're as underrated as a Tom Izzo coach
- 38:38team can get, I guess, just because I don't really
- 38:40have any standout stars. Jeremiah Fears is great,
- 38:44but other than that, I like Michigan State. I
- 38:47think they won this game. My thought is just
- 38:52like, when does the Izzo magic run out? Because
- 38:55it always does, eventually. I don't know. I feel
- 39:03like Yukon could put up a fight on this one.
- 39:08Yeah, but I don't know. This one's a head scratcher.
- 39:11You'll check the X for this one for me. They
- 39:14play very similar styles, so I don't. I don't
- 39:18know. I mean, I'm taking Michigan State just
- 39:20I think there. I don't know if you really need
- 39:23is a magic. I think this team is just kind of
- 39:26on par. Yukon took advantage of a very bad Big
- 39:29East to kind of. inflate their record. I mean,
- 39:32they play a very tough non con I'll give them
- 39:34that but I like Michigan State. Okay, there it
- 39:40is. I might check with our friends over at the
- 39:44Trends Center app, which you can actually use
- 39:47the code TFTM at checkout to get 15 % off a premium
- 39:51membership. I actually use the Trends Center
- 39:53app for like 90 % of my bets. Oh, yeah, and it
- 39:58worked out. Used it Monday night for blazers
- 40:03nets over to 17 and a half crews one about like
- 40:0520 Dude, let's go and we're using it today with
- 40:10the Preds money line. They're up five to one.
- 40:14I Think it's still the first period Am I incorrect?
- 40:19Yes, it's still the first period Damn oh shit
- 40:24Brady Shay actually did something. Yes crazy
- 40:29Good for that guy But our but right check out
- 40:34the trend center app obviously Alright, then
- 40:37then the next game the last game on Friday Then
- 40:40we won't know the mashups until that like you
- 40:42know after the Thursday Friday games for Saturday
- 40:44Sunday Or is that next week? It's next week or
- 40:50well the elite eight is after this but yeah And
- 40:53then yeah final four is next Saturday and then
- 40:58off day Sunday, National Championship Monday.
- 41:01Alright, there it is. Um but the next game, speaking
- 41:06of coaching magic running out, uh we have the
- 41:11Tennessee Volunteers versus the Iowa State Cyclones.
- 41:14Uh Iowa State is favored by four and a half.
- 41:16Apparently, they have their, they have a guy
- 41:18on their team that's injured. Could bode well
- 41:20for the volunteers. The total is at 138 and a
- 41:23half. Uh this is um This is a this is a tough
- 41:29one. I might I might see about a total here but
- 41:33also I Don't know this might be a ponderant a
- 41:37thinker for me for me on on on this one Because
- 41:41the Rick Barnes magic is you know, it's it's
- 41:44it's overdue you know this year if we're being
- 41:47for calling a spade a spade and Well, I'll let
- 41:51you I'll let you give the breakdown here Chris.
- 41:53I mean forced Fourth straight sweet 16. I don't
- 41:56know if it's overdue, but the last few years.
- 42:01I remember was just three years ago when we played
- 42:06Duke in the. In the sweet 16. I think it's sweet
- 42:1216. I might have been around to 32. Anyway, we
- 42:16played Duke and it was like OK, we're done. It's
- 42:19due. We have no business winning this game that
- 42:21I mean that team that policy was pretty good,
- 42:23but it wasn't. It wasn't on Duke's level. And
- 42:26we just went out there and played bully ball
- 42:27for 40 minutes. Only one outright. This kind
- 42:31of reminds me of that, where it's like we have,
- 42:34I would say we have no business contending with
- 42:36Iowa state. It's only four and a half points
- 42:38spread, but the way Tennessee can look in the
- 42:41second half of times is just flat out disgusting.
- 42:43Saw it in the Virginia game, um, up by eight,
- 42:46I believe it was. And then the last seven and
- 42:48a half minutes start pissing down our legs, bad
- 42:50turnovers, Nate Amen. It's been a ghost last
- 42:53two games. I just last three games. Really? I
- 42:57just. But it does remind me of that Duke game
- 43:02where we don't have any business competing with
- 43:04this team. But if we can just go on there, be
- 43:08physical, I would say it's very physical team
- 43:09to not turn, say we can just fight out, run them
- 43:12over. But if we win this game, it wouldn't be
- 43:15like, oh my God, how did this happen? It's like,
- 43:18yeah. Is a big upset, but I'm not like shocked
- 43:21because Rick Barnes occasionally can just pull
- 43:24one out of his ass. So I, depending on how the
- 43:28rest of the day goes, I might bet just Tennessee
- 43:30money line for the fuck of it. But, uh, if I'm
- 43:33looking at it and partially, I don't really know
- 43:35what to do. Right. And that's, that's kind of
- 43:41the way that I'm sort of looking at this because
- 43:46just the story of the Tennessee Volunteers this
- 43:48year has been like, all right, this team is underperforming.
- 43:52And they also just don't have the talent. But
- 43:55also, Rick Barnes is still a good head coach.
- 44:01He's you've been to straight for four straight.
- 44:05So he succeeds. Yeah. And it's like, dude, a
- 44:09lot of teams would like, fire their guy just
- 44:13to have that. You know? Yeah. I mean, he is say
- 44:16what he will about his March. Like, like not
- 44:19being able to get to the final four. I mean,
- 44:23sweet, four straight sweet sixteens is pretty
- 44:24damn good, especially like Tennessee before this.
- 44:27I mean, it was not exactly a basketball powerhouse.
- 44:33So yeah, you can make the jokes how he always
- 44:35kind of chokes when the lights get the brightest,
- 44:37but I mean, four straight sweet sixteens pretty
- 44:40fucking good. Yeah, that's a good ass season.
- 44:44Yeah, especially. I mean, Jacobi Gillespie is
- 44:47playing out of his mind right now. If, if a man
- 44:49can just be serviceable, then we got a chance,
- 44:55but payment's been pretty trash. There's no first
- 44:58two rounds. So we'll see. It's a new weekend.
- 45:01It's a new, uh, it's a new court. Hey, anything
- 45:06could happen. It's March, baby. It's March, baby.
- 45:10Kaboom. It doesn't matter baby kaboom. Um, well
- 45:15that's all the games. Uh, I'll probably think
- 45:18about that Tennessee game for a little bit before
- 45:22I throw anything on it. Um, shit. Well, I mean,
- 45:27that's really all the only thing I've really
- 45:28been paying attention to, except I mean, the
- 45:30predators are now in a playoff spot. That's pretty
- 45:34cool. You know, which is kind of weird considering
- 45:39we sold at the deadline. But hey Doesn't matter
- 45:45baby. Kaboom try to cut the dead weight. Yeah
- 45:49Michael McCarran and Any American players get
- 45:56the hell out of here so all the American players
- 45:59get out of here Canadian elitist Barry Watts
- 46:06like a week ago they needed the Kings, the Kraken,
- 46:13the Sharks and like the Mammoth to like all collectively
- 46:18get no more than like five points and then to
- 46:23win like their next four games to even have a
- 46:26shot at the eight seed and all of that happened
- 46:29on like after that night's win. Like everything
- 46:33is just kind of fallen in line for them and then
- 46:36this is the first time they're playing San Jose.
- 46:39So they play them two more times after this.
- 46:43And then they play the Kings. They play the Kings
- 46:47and the and the mammoth and the crack in all
- 46:51like with like their last like eight games or
- 46:55something. Eight of their last 13. You just got
- 46:59to keep one in these games. I mean, it's saying
- 47:02it was a still like ass essentially like another.
- 47:05We got a bunch of good young guys, but overall
- 47:07they still just booty. So they came out of the
- 47:12gate pretty hot and everybody was like, they
- 47:17were leading their division at one point this
- 47:19season. But then they cooled off because they
- 47:25have teenagers on their team. They're great,
- 47:31but they don't have much depth, which is fine.
- 47:36If they would have made the playoffs this year,
- 47:38like it would have been unexpected going into
- 47:42the, into the season. I was just very still can,
- 47:46they still can make the playoffs. They still
- 47:48can. Uh, I was very surprised to see the press.
- 47:51My line was like, mine's like one 35 or something.
- 47:54Cause I was like, aren't, I was like, I know
- 47:56the Preds are on a heater and the sharks are
- 47:58to my best of my knowledge, dog water. That's
- 48:01why, and I saw the trend center thing. So I was
- 48:03like, yeah, I'm loading up on the Preds responsibly.
- 48:05Of course. responsible. They're not dog water,
- 48:09the sharks. They're like lukewarm water. It's
- 48:16weird with the the West, because like, there's
- 48:20really only a couple teams in the West that are
- 48:22like, kind of like leading the league. And then
- 48:25like the rest of the pack is just very much middle
- 48:29of the road, like, like Nashville, we're in a
- 48:32playoff spot, but we're like, 20th in the league.
- 48:37Which is like pretty low And we're only two points
- 48:43behind Edmonton Yeah, we're like kind of close
- 48:47to to a team with Connor McDavid on it a stink
- 48:53They just lost dry signal to Thanks to us. Yeah
- 49:00Not good for my future, but I'll just place it
- 49:05again next year You just roll it over every year.
- 49:10Well, I had five more dollars every year. Yeah.
- 49:13Okay. Because they got it up whenever they do
- 49:18it, you know, yeah, it'll make up for all the
- 49:21losses. Yeah. But but yeah, that's hockey talk.
- 49:33And then well, within these next couple of weeks,
- 49:36we'll uh probably next week you need to have
- 49:39a frozen four pick yes i that was literally the
- 49:43next thing i was going to uh to bring up uh the
- 49:46frozen four or the the tournament starts april
- 49:519th and i've learned from whenever i make a future
- 49:57it never happens unless it's once the frozen
- 50:02four begins because last year i made it Like
- 50:06the round before the frozen four and it didn't
- 50:09happen. So, uh, and same thing with the, uh,
- 50:15with the super bowl last year. I put that like,
- 50:19I'm not, yeah. So I'm, uh, I'm beginning the
- 50:25research. Don't worry. I was Quinnipiac looking,
- 50:30they are playing some tournament to get into
- 50:33some, uh, some like divisional tournament to
- 50:35get into the the NCAA tournament. So they're
- 50:41playing. They're playing Miramac, which Miramac
- 50:45won their division, which is crazy. You guys
- 50:50know. Yeah, sure. I know they have a basketball
- 50:55team. Right. So like the big thing with college
- 51:01hockey now is. well one NIL which you know has
- 51:06its own effect against every single collegiate
- 51:10sport but also with with college hockey now they're
- 51:13allowing the players that played in like uh the
- 51:18Canadian junior leagues to come over to play
- 51:22college hockey which before before this year
- 51:26was not was not a thing it was either you play
- 51:30college hockey Or you play in the juniors. That's
- 51:33it. You cannot you can't switch. And now that
- 51:38the junior players can come and play college
- 51:41hockey like now it's it's like an NIL in college
- 51:45hockey is is massive. And so it's it's like every
- 51:50team has good players now. And so like it's it's
- 51:54incredibly difficult to like pick a winner on
- 51:56a kind of like a daily basis like I think only
- 51:58Draft Kings is the only book I found that you
- 52:01can bet on college hockey. And I mean, the last
- 52:06time I checked that was last year. So that might
- 52:07that might have changed. But so like, that's
- 52:11kind of the big thing. Western Michigan won last
- 52:13year because their their offense was just like
- 52:15on fire. Would love to see Michigan go the distance.
- 52:25Don't place a bet yet. but um part don't do it
- 52:30chris i was just gonna see if there are any like
- 52:33numbers up about him yet because i haven't done
- 52:36it yet from from my very little research that
- 52:40i did today um they're they won the the big 10
- 52:46uh in men's and so they're they're guaranteed
- 52:50a bid into into the tournament so they're they're
- 52:54going on to uh to the tournament so they don't
- 52:56have to Play between now and like a week or two
- 52:59But like they're great and Their goalie is great
- 53:06Do you guys know who their goalie is? No Predators
- 53:13prospect Jack Ivankovic. Oh Okay, and I think
- 53:18he's American which is kind of weird with that
- 53:21last name, but I could be very wrong. I know
- 53:24it doesn't sound very American I know he's not
- 53:26Russian or any of those Eastern European countries.
- 53:31He's either Canadian or I think he's Canadian.
- 53:34He's he was on the Canadian World Junior team.
- 53:36Now that I think about it. But but yeah, so he's
- 53:39a printer's prospect. We dropped him the fourth
- 53:41round let this past draft and he's lights out.
- 53:45He's one of the best goaltenders in college hockey.
- 53:47So would love to see Michigan completely do do
- 53:52the dance because like they're They're not gonna
- 53:56be rated as like the the the favorite that's
- 53:59probably gonna be either Western Michigan or
- 54:01or Michigan State Well, I'm just looking at the
- 54:07odds right now Michigan State and Michigan are
- 54:09both the favorites at plus 320 Okay, Western
- 54:13Michigan plus 800 Western Michigan won their
- 54:18division. So they're guaranteed a bid in in the
- 54:22tournament They won last year, did not see that
- 54:26coming. That's on me. But I will, yes, thank
- 54:35you for bringing that up, Sean. I need to get
- 54:38on that. Jack, I think, how do you say his last
- 54:43name? Ivankovic. Ivankovic, he's from Ontario.
- 54:48Yes. Not American. Yeah, he was on the Canadian
- 54:54World Junior team which they lost but Hmm, that's
- 54:59a different thing They lost for a different reason
- 55:01not because of him Do we have any more guys I
- 55:05feel like we got more guys on Michigan Michigan
- 55:12Maybe one other I know we have eight and think
- 55:17on Penn State and I don't know if they're in
- 55:23the dance quite yet. I'm gonna have to check
- 55:25on that. But he's great. We, I believe that was
- 55:30Poyle's last draft pick was was Aiden Fink in
- 55:35the seventh round, the year he retired. I'm about
- 55:4260 % certain about that. But he's great. He's
- 55:47on the line with Gavin McKenna. So they light
- 55:49up the score sheet every night. It's it's pretty
- 55:51cool. I actually follow this. This this account
- 55:55on Twitter, it's called Preds Prospect. It's
- 55:57a great follow. You guys follow that? Yeah. It's
- 56:02they just play highlights of like, you know,
- 56:06the Predators Prospects, you know, it's it's
- 56:08cool to keep up with them too. Because like that's
- 56:10like this guy's only only thing is that he he
- 56:14only tweets about the Predators Prospect. I will
- 56:16say Michigan State we have a prospect Riker Lee
- 56:22who we drafted him in the first round this past
- 56:24year and This guy is an absolute stud. Oh Yeah,
- 56:29like he's like a small little Asian guy actually.
- 56:32Hell. Yeah let's go or perhaps he's a Native
- 56:39from Canada. I might be actually I think he's
- 56:42American. I don't know. I'd have to check on
- 56:44that What's his maker? Michigan State. He might
- 56:51be American. I'm is an American Hollywood cockroach
- 56:55hockey player. There it is. He he does. Illinois.
- 57:02Hey, they got people everywhere. He does look
- 57:05like he's got a little something. Yeah, he's
- 57:10got a dash of something mixed in. Yeah. Oh, people
- 57:15often ask, what is Riker Lee's ethnicity? His
- 57:19father immigrated to the US from Taiwan. There
- 57:21we go. Dude, let's go. That's sick. Google AI
- 57:28is awesome. It's like, do you want to know this
- 57:29guy's race? And it's like, yes, that's actually
- 57:31the reason I Googled it. Google, show me this
- 57:34guy's balls, please. But yeah. I'll have to uh
- 57:46I have to take a look at the uh the college hockey
- 57:48thing again get a get a proper proper pulse on
- 57:53uh on what's going on but cool yes just wanted
- 57:57to remind you because we're I'm itching for it
- 58:01it snuck up on me last year yeah and that was
- 58:05uh and I lost so that's my bad it's all good
- 58:08just make up for it again let's do it again two
- 58:13out of three ain't bad. No, or three out of four.
- 58:17I don't know. It's good. Yeah. Yeah, nobody said
- 58:24anything in the in the gambling group chat, which
- 58:27I appreciate it. But anyway, let's move on. So
- 58:31you guys have a story to talk about or something?
- 58:36Probably the story of the year, if we're being
- 58:40quite honest. All right. So we talked about it
- 58:46a little bit. You, we've been talking for probably
- 58:4945 minutes to 50 minutes. We mentioned it had
- 58:55something to do with a cornhole player, a professional
- 58:57cornhole player. Now sitting on that, do you
- 59:00remember anything from today? Have you seen this
- 59:03at all? Does it have to do with a guy with no
- 59:06legs? Uh -huh. That's that's all I got. All right.
- 59:12I didn't I didn't read into it. Okay. Read the
- 59:17headline. Okay, headline. Professional cornhole
- 59:21player with no arms or legs charged with murdering
- 59:24man and dumping body from car. A man lost his
- 59:31life. Now, hold on. Well, I get so many ESPN
- 59:37news notifications, just push notifications to
- 59:41my phone that I'm like, I don't care. This is
- 59:44one where I was like, excuse me, that I actually
- 59:48clicked on because I was like, if he ain't got
- 59:50no arms or legs, how did he shoot somebody? That's
- 59:54my first thought. I looked into this a little
- 59:58bit on Twitter this morning. Apparently he's
- 1:00:00like a gun enthusiast. He has videos on Twitter
- 1:00:04of him, like, shooting in his backyard. And I've
- 1:00:09watched the videos no less than a dozen times.
- 1:00:11I still don't really know how he's doing it.
- 1:00:14It's a complete mystery. But yes, his name is
- 1:00:19Dayton James Webber of La Plata, Maryland. Typical,
- 1:00:25typical Maryland. Yeah, good. I was gonna like
- 1:00:31you read like the story of like how it all went
- 1:00:35down Yeah, I mean that's the more like crazy
- 1:00:44part like I mean the headline is just so bizarre
- 1:00:47like so he was he was driving Yes driving With
- 1:00:59I know it was a Tesla. So he probably had some
- 1:01:02like drive -yourself mode, but he was still Operating
- 1:01:06it. He was the operator of a motor vehicle with
- 1:01:09no arms. No legs and he was still able to pull
- 1:01:13out a pistol and with no arms shoot the guy next
- 1:01:18in and Then there's two people in the backseat
- 1:01:23And he pulled out pulled the car over. It was
- 1:01:25like help me dump this body. They're like No.
- 1:01:30And then he tried to run away. Yeah. I thought
- 1:01:36this was fake for the longest time. I saw it
- 1:01:39on Twitter. I was like, I saw like three or four
- 1:01:41headlines like there's no way this is real. And
- 1:01:44then I saw it from like an actual I forget who
- 1:01:46it was exactly. But some like an actual news
- 1:01:48publication. Oh, fuck. This isn't like an onion
- 1:01:52article. Damn, no. I mean, that's. How does he
- 1:01:59even play cornhole? The videos of him playing
- 1:02:01cornhole are pretty impressive. Yeah, he sinks
- 1:02:04them. Like, it's kind of crazy. But, yeah, just
- 1:02:12reading into this a little more, he's been a
- 1:02:15quadriplegic since he was only 10 months old.
- 1:02:18So, I guess he's just used to it. But he was
- 1:02:23only given a 3 % chance he would live after that.
- 1:02:29It's making the most of this opportunity. It's
- 1:02:31just now you're just gonna rot in a prison cell.
- 1:02:36You couldn't be happy being a professional cornhole
- 1:02:38player. Yeah, you just go and kill a guy in cold
- 1:02:45blood. Jesus, I know someone died. Yes, I know
- 1:02:54it's terrible but part of me wants to be like
- 1:02:59Okay Eventually, we're all gonna go to the other
- 1:03:04side at some point. We don't know What's going
- 1:03:07on over there, but let's just say we get there
- 1:03:10and someone asks us. Hey, how'd you get here?
- 1:03:13That guy has to say I was shocked by a guy with
- 1:03:18no arms Or legs. Or legs. And people might be
- 1:03:27ribbing them, giving them shit. And they're like,
- 1:03:29he's got to be like, hold on. No, no, no, no,
- 1:03:32no. This guy was a phenomenal cornhole player
- 1:03:34too. Pinpoint accuracy. Yeah. And then he was
- 1:03:47arrested at the hospital that. he was seeking
- 1:03:51treatment at for like a medical issue. Like he
- 1:03:55went to the hospital after killing a guy. What
- 1:04:02the fuck? Yeah. And then the apparently the sheriff
- 1:04:09was just like, he's got great capabilities and
- 1:04:12abilities. So apparently he can just do it all.
- 1:04:14But I mean, to pull out like a nine mil and just
- 1:04:19like Shoot the guy next to you while driving
- 1:04:22a car with no arms and or legs. Sounds ridiculous.
- 1:04:29And you do have to laugh at it a little bit.
- 1:04:32I know someone died. It's called a spade. That's
- 1:04:35a pretty impressive feet. I mean, he has the
- 1:04:40capabilities and abilities. I mean, yeah, that
- 1:04:45was headline of the year so far. Like I said,
- 1:04:51there are very few ESPN push notifications that
- 1:04:54I get that I'm like, what's this about? Most
- 1:04:57of them are just like, or 99 % of them are go
- 1:05:01away. Cool, whatever. This one, I was like, am
- 1:05:06I reading this right? It's like quadruped means.
- 1:05:12He doesn't have arms or legs, right? Like that's
- 1:05:15how ESPN notified it. It was just like quadriplegic.
- 1:05:18And I was just like. He doesn't have arms or
- 1:05:21legs. He doesn't have the either. How did he
- 1:05:24shoot somebody? It's crazy. Insane story. Some
- 1:05:32people. I wonder, wonder what he said to make
- 1:05:38him so mad to shoot him. Yeah, I gotta know how
- 1:05:42that conversation You can't shoot me a stubby
- 1:05:54I Went to this I went to I went to his YouTube
- 1:05:58page. He's not only a gun enthusiast, but he
- 1:06:02he streams fortnight like how does he I Don't
- 1:06:08know How does he play? What a waste of an opportunity.
- 1:06:14You gotta at least have like a finger or two
- 1:06:17at the end of them stumps. I mean, yeah, pull
- 1:06:21a trigger. You gotta have something. I need some
- 1:06:25serious dexterity if you're playing Fortnite,
- 1:06:28especially on builds. You gotta build a ton of
- 1:06:31shit. That's like, that's like he is playing
- 1:06:34builds. Dude, that's he's an enigma. The inner
- 1:06:42machinations of my mind are an enigma Well, I've
- 1:06:47like skipped through this first video to like
- 1:06:4930 minutes and he's been on the loading stream
- 1:06:52four separate times so He's not very good. He's
- 1:06:57died four times at 30 minutes. Okay, that's So
- 1:07:02I mean it's a bit more on par I Didn't expect
- 1:07:06him to be great but All right. All right. Um,
- 1:07:19opening day is on Thursday. Yeah. Is it, is it
- 1:07:24going to be streamed on Netflix? Did I see that?
- 1:07:27I think one game is, um, Yankees giants, I think.
- 1:07:33Yeah. Everything's on, um, Tyler O 'Neill to
- 1:07:39see vitalo. Yeah, that's true. I'm interested
- 1:07:44to see how they do. That's, that is interesting.
- 1:07:48Cause I, I was thinking, I remember when like
- 1:07:51the news like broke and everything that he took
- 1:07:55the job. And then I can't remember if we talked
- 1:07:57on here about it or not, but I think I talked
- 1:07:58to my dad about it. I was like, I feel like even
- 1:08:01though it has not been done ever, the jump as
- 1:08:05a manager from college baseball to MLB, I feel
- 1:08:10like of the four major sports would be the easiest
- 1:08:12to adjust because you don't really do that much
- 1:08:19like in game coaching. Like, yes, you make like
- 1:08:22bullpen subs and everything like that, but like,
- 1:08:26it's not like football where you're like hands
- 1:08:28on, on like one side of the football and like
- 1:08:31intensive, like game plan to stretch. Like, I'm
- 1:08:33not saying there's no game plan or strategy,
- 1:08:34but there's no light. Very rare or not very rare,
- 1:08:38but like very minimal in game adjustments that
- 1:08:40you make. As opposed to the other sports where
- 1:08:44I mean college basketball that the NBA is like
- 1:08:46a completely different sport. You can probably
- 1:08:48say the same thing about college hockey in the
- 1:08:49NHL and football, college football, the NFL.
- 1:08:56You haven't really seen too many guys have success.
- 1:08:58So I was like, I wonder if this is the easiest.
- 1:09:02I feel like it'd be the easiest to like make
- 1:09:04the transition but I mean I could be proven dead
- 1:09:06wrong because that's never happened before he
- 1:09:07could be done before the end of the year who
- 1:09:09knows but just my thoughts yeah I don't uh I
- 1:09:14don't know ball that uh that that well in in
- 1:09:19terms of baseball so I wouldn't um I wouldn't
- 1:09:22know how to comment on that I mean I mean it's
- 1:09:28I mean the the difference between like college
- 1:09:30and the pros is like everything is faster like
- 1:09:33in in everything like in football the dudes are
- 1:09:37faster and they're smarter and and then in college
- 1:09:39hockey like you have to skate faster you have
- 1:09:41to shoot harder you have to have eyes in the
- 1:09:44back of your head like and so it's but also in
- 1:09:48in the in pro baseball it's like yeah I mean
- 1:09:52like they're gonna throw harder but you're gonna
- 1:09:55you're gonna hit So you're going to encounter
- 1:09:57faster fastballs, but in terms of like game management,
- 1:10:03I don't know. I think you might be onto something
- 1:10:06there. And then I remember I talked with my dad
- 1:10:08about this. He's like, well, then why hasn't
- 1:10:10anybody done it? I was like, I'm not saying it's
- 1:10:11easy. I'm not even saying he's going to be successful.
- 1:10:13I'm just saying I feel like in terms of a game
- 1:10:16management standpoint, it would be the easiest.
- 1:10:19I mean, I obviously have no idea. That's just
- 1:10:22my... Not very well -educated opinion. Could
- 1:10:28be. Um, shit. Well, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see.
- 1:10:37Um, and if we don't have anything else, I, uh,
- 1:10:41we should end it. Um, Tyler O 'Neill, a home
- 1:10:44run opening day. He's homered on five straight
- 1:10:46opening days. All right. Thanks for the place.
- 1:10:49The Orioles, I believe now. Uh, I think it's,
- 1:10:52he's plus like three 20 and last time I saw it's
- 1:10:55been making the rounds on Twitter last week.
- 1:10:59And granted it's been doing it the last two years
- 1:11:01on around opening day, but I mean, he's done
- 1:11:04five years in a row, maybe worth half a unit.
- 1:11:07Okay. And then, uh, I also actually saw it. That
- 1:11:10reminds me, I saw a, uh, a stat, um, about Cole
- 1:11:15Caulfield on the Montreal Canadians. Apparently,
- 1:11:18he has scored in 19 straight games on a Saturday.
- 1:11:25The Canadians. Yes, the Canadians play the Predators
- 1:11:29on Saturday. So. I'm going to bet. Call Caulfield
- 1:11:37goal. If I must. Well, you don't have to. I don't
- 1:11:42have to force you. I do have a bit of breaking
- 1:11:46news on if you guys. seen this but uh rams wide
