Speaker 3: absolutely not Thursday.

0:55
Speaker 3: you're hearing Sodier Moore tell them, like, you know, Chip

1:05
Speaker 4: folks know he's on assignment for the next three days.
1:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but yeah.
1:11
Speaker 4: But no, you know, he didn't hear that. You didn't
1:14
Speaker 4: hear that and you're you just got the Zone on

Speaker 4: and all of a sudden that hit. Yeah, your your

1:27
Speaker 3: Jason and Jared, Jason Cornelias, Jared Hicks Ear Sports Radio
1:30
Speaker 3: eleven fifty AM, The Zone ninety three seven FM. A
1:34
Speaker 3: whole lot of sports to talk about today. Obviously we're here,
1:40
Speaker 3: so we're gonna get heavy into the NBA playoffs and
1:43
Speaker 3: the ups and downs that have been going on kind
1:46
Speaker 3: in some of the series.
1:49
Speaker 4: Nothing like we kind of pontificated about the last time
1:52
Speaker 4: we were here. I mean, like everything's just and we'll
1:55
Speaker 4: get into that, but I mean it's been crazy.
1:58
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the playoffs is so I have been crazy.
2:02
Speaker 3: I'm looking on the news right now. So much has
2:04
Speaker 3: been going on, and you and I talk about it
2:06
Speaker 3: so much while we're here on the business side of
2:10
Speaker 3: sport and the ramifications that are going on to and
2:15
Speaker 3: for me, it will go back when we talk about
2:17
Speaker 3: it on the next block of when you and I
2:21
Speaker 3: talked about and we joked about he who remains and
2:25
Speaker 3: what the nc double a was and what it is
2:29
Speaker 3: and what has happened now that the NC Double A
2:31
Speaker 3: is even weaker than it used to be, but also
2:34
Speaker 3: how that is also permeated throughout all of the leagues
2:37
Speaker 3: now and what is going on well.
2:40
Speaker 4: So obviously we're talking about gambling, yes, because the US,
2:46
Speaker 4: the United States, has been very slow to catch up
2:49
Speaker 4: to the rest of the world in regards to sports
2:51
Speaker 4: betting because when you go especially when you go to
2:55
Speaker 4: Europe and especially when you start talking about soccer, like
2:58
Speaker 4: live betting has been a vibrant part of the sport
3:01
Speaker 4: for decades now. In fact, it's it's really driven the
3:05
Speaker 4: technology that has kind of migrated over to the US.
3:08
Speaker 4: And you've seen I think what two thirds of states
3:11
Speaker 4: across the country adopts sports betting of some sort, some
3:15
Speaker 4: sort of Texas, you know, still for whatever reason things
3:18
Speaker 4: it's better than everybody else. But we we touched on
3:24
Speaker 4: the fact that, you know, the underside and one of
3:28
Speaker 4: the reasons why you you really haven't seen sports or
3:30
Speaker 4: gambling and sports is so taboo is because of like
3:33
Speaker 4: the Black Sox scandal and and all the incidents where
3:37
Speaker 4: you know, games can be affected because of gambling intrity
3:42
Speaker 4: of the game. Yeah, and obviously Pete Rose and you know,
3:46
Speaker 4: baseball has is where you've seen this most in our history.
3:49
Speaker 4: But obviously in the world of prop bets, now you
3:53
Speaker 4: can start getting into all these other sports and and
3:55
Speaker 4: start doing that. And obviously there's been a lot of
3:59
Speaker 4: news in just the last two to three days involving
4:05
Speaker 4: specifically athletes and gambling yep. And obviously the NBA story
4:11
Speaker 4: with Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups and and the entire
4:15
Speaker 4: DOJ investigation of that. That's that's the big story. The
4:20
Speaker 4: one that kind of came out of left field, or
4:23
Speaker 4: at least out from the Panhandle is Field. Yeah, absolute
4:28
Speaker 4: field is the Brendan Sorosby story. Is the quarterback of
4:33
Speaker 4: Texas Tech.
4:34
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll dive deep into that here coming up
4:38
Speaker 3: in just a second, getting deep into all the sports.
4:40
Speaker 3: I know everybody's excited about the bananas coming up here
4:43
Speaker 3: this weekend. We have and I have been reminded seventy
4:46
Speaker 3: two times, we've got some tickets to give away. The
4:49
Speaker 3: CHIP is absolutely wanting to make sure that we do
4:51
Speaker 3: for Rock the Country. I don't know how we're going
4:53
Speaker 3: to give those away, if it'll just be a straight
4:55
Speaker 3: phone call or if we'll do something exciting about that,
4:58
Speaker 3: we'll think about that.
4:59
Speaker 4: People think about that, but it will be incumbent on
5:02
Speaker 4: you are eighty four listeners, Okay, Hi J. Miller to
5:09
Speaker 4: be to stay tuned into the show, as we will
5:12
Speaker 4: have something at least in the towards the five o'clock hour,
5:16
Speaker 4: if not in the five o'clock hour, for you to
5:19
Speaker 4: call in and win those tickets.
5:21
Speaker 3: So two things I want to talk about here as
5:23
Speaker 3: we get the show started that are kind of the
5:25
Speaker 3: same but also not the same. Quickly, Jerome Tang that
5:29
Speaker 3: was the head basketball coach at Kansas State is now
5:32
Speaker 3: returning to Baylor after his unsacrimonious exit from Kansas State
5:38
Speaker 3: when he, in my opinion, all he did was call
5:41
Speaker 3: out his players and say, y'all, we need more from y'all.
5:44
Speaker 3: And he said some of y'all aren't going to be
5:45
Speaker 3: here next year, and in this level of nil and
5:49
Speaker 3: and and how players are the money that players are making,
5:56
Speaker 3: the players were chosen over coach Tang, and he was
5:59
Speaker 3: at to leave and now he's going back to Baylor
6:01
Speaker 3: right up the road.
6:05
Speaker 4: I mean, can I mean Kansas State has just such
6:08
Speaker 4: a a mired history and basketball that maybe maybe they're
6:17
Speaker 4: kind of overshooting their shop or over out kicking their
6:20
Speaker 4: coverage as far as what they expect. But I mean,
6:22
Speaker 4: honestly speaking, coaches, I mean, coaches should be able to
6:27
Speaker 4: call out players, especially. You would think if if you
6:30
Speaker 4: can easily identify the fact you're not trying, you're not
6:33
Speaker 4: they're not paying, what is what is coaching? Then that
6:38
Speaker 4: that to me just kind of shows where I think
6:41
Speaker 4: certain I hate to use the snowflake term, but I
6:46
Speaker 4: mean there's there's ale of coddling where you know, I
6:52
Speaker 4: hate to say it, this is a business. It is
6:55
Speaker 4: and that's what and that'sess.
6:57
Speaker 3: And that's where it stuck to me a little bit
6:59
Speaker 3: because he he was called like, he's like, these are
7:01
Speaker 3: kids that are now getting paid. Yeah, like these aren't young,
7:05
Speaker 3: Like it's not the way it used to be. These
7:06
Speaker 3: are kids that are getting paid, and he called them
7:08
Speaker 3: out because they weren't doing what they were supposed to
7:10
Speaker 3: be doing to earn those contracts that they now have.
7:13
Speaker 3: And so, yeah, seeing him go seventy three and fifty
7:15
Speaker 3: seven in his first three years and make it to
7:17
Speaker 3: the Elite eight and so they fire him for and Okay,
7:21
Speaker 3: he went on. He was one to eleven in conference
7:22
Speaker 3: at the time, and they had some expectations, but again
7:25
Speaker 3: all he did was say, hey, y'all aren't giving out
7:28
Speaker 3: the amount of effort that you need to be giving out.
7:33
Speaker 4: And he was the one that was let go to
7:35
Speaker 4: me and not to draw too much comparison. It reminds
7:39
Speaker 4: me so much of where USA men's USA men's soccer
7:43
Speaker 4: national team is right now, where you have expectations and
7:47
Speaker 4: you expect a level of excellence and expertise and it's
7:52
Speaker 4: just mismanaged. And I kind of get the feeling. Kansas
7:55
Speaker 4: State kind of falls into that category as a school
7:58
Speaker 4: that's just kind of listless at times, whether it's football,
8:03
Speaker 4: whether it's basketball, and especially in a majority of the
8:05
Speaker 4: other sports where they're not even competitive.
8:07
Speaker 3: Speaking of having uh higher than probably necessary expectations, Diego
8:16
Speaker 3: Pavia has has signed with the Ravens. He is the
8:21
Speaker 3: very first but no way, no, just just just sudding
8:24
Speaker 3: the the the first Heisman finalist to not to go
8:28
Speaker 3: completely undrafted.
8:29
Speaker 4: Correct, I mean short of I think you have to
8:33
Speaker 4: go back to the sixties and a Heisman finalist who
8:37
Speaker 4: was going to Vietnam. Yeah, so that's why he couldn't
8:39
Speaker 4: be drafted. I mean, I will say this, the Ravens
8:41
Speaker 4: did invite him to their mini camp with no word
8:44
Speaker 4: if he's going to be invited to regular person camp
8:49
Speaker 4: you were, I was, yes, I was waiting for that. Uh,
8:53
Speaker 4: because he's a he's a he's five to ten. He's
8:56
Speaker 4: twenty four years old, which, by the way, this is
9:00
Speaker 4: when you're talking about coming to the NFL and trying
9:04
Speaker 4: to become a serious quarterback. It's not necessarily to your
9:07
Speaker 4: benefit to be older as you come into the league.
9:11
Speaker 4: And the fact that he's five to ten, he's undersized.
9:15
Speaker 4: Yes he plays with a tenacity, but will that tenacity
9:18
Speaker 4: actually translate to the NFL. I don't think so. And
9:24
Speaker 4: when you give own when you give owners and you
9:26
Speaker 4: give general managers any reason not to draft you, and
9:30
Speaker 4: he gave plenty and the fact for whatever reason, he
9:34
Speaker 4: thought he didn't need an agent because he doesn't believe
9:37
Speaker 4: at incorrectly that they should get five to ten percent.
9:40
Speaker 4: You actually will get two to three. But you should
9:44
Speaker 4: have had I mean, I don't know what advice he
9:46
Speaker 4: was given, and I know Johnny was talking to him
9:48
Speaker 4: during this period of ten You absolutely need an agent,
9:53
Speaker 4: because that's person who's going to be calling these teams saying, hey,
9:56
Speaker 4: look at my guy.
9:57
Speaker 3: Oh yes, they're going to continue to call multiple times
10:00
Speaker 3: and keep on that. But again, and I'm never one
10:04
Speaker 3: I try to to to navigate this delicately because I'm
10:09
Speaker 3: never wanted to be like, oh, you can't be yourself.
10:12
Speaker 3: I am always for people being unapologetically themselves. I get that. However,
10:20
Speaker 3: you have to be able to know either what that
10:23
Speaker 3: is and how that's going to affect you, or how
10:26
Speaker 3: to manage that in situations again like this, like the
10:31
Speaker 3: way he handled himself after the Heisman situation and going
10:36
Speaker 3: on social media and saying, f the all the voters
10:40
Speaker 3: and all. You can't do that. No, I mean you
10:43
Speaker 3: cannot do that.
10:44
Speaker 4: You You literally went from what is arguably one of
10:50
Speaker 4: the greatest underdog stories we've had in college football. And
10:53
Speaker 4: I don't know how long I mean we're talking about
10:56
Speaker 4: not non scholarship athlete goes to New Mexico, beats beats
11:04
Speaker 4: Hugh Freeze multiple times, his coach, and he go to Vanderbilt,
11:10
Speaker 4: the perpetual whipping boy of the SEC, and turn them
11:14
Speaker 4: into a winning, competitive program you can play with you know,
11:19
Speaker 4: pride and arrogance. But yeah, when you get to especially
11:23
Speaker 4: the Heisman ceremony, show some humility.
11:28
Speaker 3: It's not even showing humility. You can be upset, you.
11:31
Speaker 4: Can be upset. But at the same time, humility wasn't
11:37
Speaker 4: exactly the word I was or just I mean, I
11:41
Speaker 4: hate to say play the game.
11:42
Speaker 3: But no, And that's that's why I said I was
11:44
Speaker 3: trying to navigate it delicately.
11:46
Speaker 4: It's not these are all things you put on your
11:48
Speaker 4: quote unquote CV because you're trying to get to the
11:51
Speaker 4: next level.
11:52
Speaker 3: And here's the other part about it. And I hear
11:54
Speaker 3: people talk at the time like we have freedom of
11:56
Speaker 3: speech in this country, but not freedom of consequences. And
11:59
Speaker 3: I understand in necessarily because there are was it thirty
12:04
Speaker 3: or thirty two NFL teams, thirty two thirty two NFL teams,
12:07
Speaker 3: they and most of them either have an owner or
12:10
Speaker 3: a governor that is the one like you were you
12:13
Speaker 3: were trying. You're not trying. You're not talking to the
12:15
Speaker 3: rest of the country in this situation. You were talking
12:18
Speaker 3: to those thirty two owners, those thirty two head coaches.
12:23
Speaker 3: So we're at sixty four people right now that you
12:25
Speaker 3: have to impress. That's it.
12:27
Speaker 4: General managers. Yeah, I mean, but that's the decision maker. Yeah,
12:31
Speaker 4: those we're talking less than two hundred.
12:34
Speaker 3: Yes, that you have to impress and you have to
12:38
Speaker 3: understand what goes into that. And so that's where I'm
12:40
Speaker 3: just like, and that's why I was just like, from
12:44
Speaker 3: from the end of the season through the Heisman like
12:47
Speaker 3: all of this, I'm just like, you could ride that wave.
12:51
Speaker 3: And again, it is not necessarily not being yourself. It
12:54
Speaker 3: is not saying that you cannot take pride in who
12:56
Speaker 3: you are, where you come from, all of those things,
12:59
Speaker 3: but you have to understand what you have to be
13:03
Speaker 3: able to do when those wes well.
13:04
Speaker 4: And more to the point, you also have to understand, Okay,
13:07
Speaker 4: I am five ten. Maybe we sik about that and
13:10
Speaker 4: say I'm five eleven or six foot, but I mean
13:12
Speaker 4: when they go to do the measurements, they know for
13:14
Speaker 4: sure I'm already kind of behind the eight ball in
13:18
Speaker 4: regards to your prototypical NFL quarterbacks. So I know I'm
13:22
Speaker 4: not round one, round two, probably not even round three.
13:25
Speaker 4: But if I want to get four or five or six,
13:28
Speaker 4: I need to do I need to do something to
13:30
Speaker 4: help my stock and guess what this a that's not
13:32
Speaker 4: And here's the.
13:33
Speaker 3: Biggest example that you can have of of how your
13:38
Speaker 3: attitude can make a difference.
13:40
Speaker 5: But you're you're.
13:43
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, your ability can make
13:44
Speaker 3: a difference. Also is last year in should or sand
13:48
Speaker 3: Sanders because at the end of the day it was
13:50
Speaker 3: kind of the same thing. Chador was kind of rubbing
13:51
Speaker 3: people the wrong way. But that he's not. Shud Sanders
13:54
Speaker 3: doesn't five to ten. No, Sanders has a quarterback ability
13:58
Speaker 3: and physical traits to people people can still see and
14:01
Speaker 3: not turn away from. I'm sorry, Diego Pavia. When you're
14:04
Speaker 3: five to ten, you've got to be able to navigate
14:06
Speaker 3: that a whole lot better than you did to show that, hey,
14:10
Speaker 3: I can still be an NFL quarterback.
14:11
Speaker 4: I go back to something I mean, and this even
14:13
Speaker 4: goes back to Lebron James when he was coming out
14:15
Speaker 4: of high school, and it's about surrounding yourself with the
14:19
Speaker 4: right people who are going to help you in your career,
14:22
Speaker 4: not surrounding yourself with the yes men who are simply
14:26
Speaker 4: just doing your bidding because you think you know everything.
14:30
Speaker 4: I find that so true. I mean, you know, forty
14:33
Speaker 4: five year old now I realize how important it is
14:36
Speaker 4: to have those voices around you, even when you're younger,
14:39
Speaker 4: to help you make the right decisions. And it just
14:42
Speaker 4: blows my mind time and time again. How How and
14:45
Speaker 4: I get it? You've been playing sports your whole life,
14:47
Speaker 4: You've been told you're great your whole life. You've excelled
14:50
Speaker 4: in something that ninety nine percent of every other young
14:53
Speaker 4: boy cannot do. But the one thing you have to
14:57
Speaker 4: have to acknowledge is the fact that you do not
14:59
Speaker 4: know everything. Please listen to the experts.

15:52
Speaker 7: Williams think cash Is Hall probably feels like he has
15:55
Speaker 7: a chip on his shoulder for what he did, so
15:57
Speaker 7: I think he's got a chance to be way better
16:00
Speaker 7: than where he was drawing.
16:01
Speaker 1: It's not like he was draft too below, but you know,
16:04
Speaker 1: I know he felt like he was a.
16:05
Speaker 8: First round draft pick, and I feel like he was
16:07
Speaker 8: a first round draft pick.
16:08
Speaker 9: So I think he's.
16:09
Speaker 2: Gonna come out show people that he should have been
16:11
Speaker 2: a first round draft pick.
16:12
Speaker 4: And I think he's gonna be very very good. Tech
16:14
Speaker 4: Tags Live weekdays from eight to eleven on the Zone.
16:27
Speaker 10: Are you going to see the movie?
16:43
Speaker 4: No, because guess guess who doesn't. I mean, basically doesn't
16:49
Speaker 4: even exist in it. Janet, Yeah, there's no supposedly there
16:55
Speaker 4: is absolutely no mention of Janet.
16:57
Speaker 3: Well, I saw that there's no mention also of Diana
16:59
Speaker 3: Ross because she like legally said, yeah, you're not including me.
17:04
Speaker 3: So did Janet do the same?
17:05
Speaker 4: I'm assuming, So I'm basically what I understand is in
17:10
Speaker 4: order for this movie to be produced, the estate had
17:12
Speaker 4: to sign off of it. So there's going to be
17:14
Speaker 4: a multitude of things they don't even talk about, like
17:17
Speaker 4: the big thing, and but that's just to get the
17:21
Speaker 4: rights to the music right, and so to me not
17:25
Speaker 4: I mean if to me, the Jackson's The American Dream
17:29
Speaker 4: is like the definitive Michael Jackson movie, so that I
17:33
Speaker 4: kind of defaulted that.
17:35
Speaker 3: Chip Howard Sports Talk on a Tuesday taken over by
17:37
Speaker 3: Jason and Jarrett Sports Radio eleven fifty AM, The Zone
17:40
Speaker 3: ninety three seven FM here today. This is something that
17:44
Speaker 3: you and I have talked about a number of times
17:48
Speaker 3: when it comes to now well obviously the NCAA and
17:52
Speaker 3: the governing body of college athletics, but how it is
17:56
Speaker 3: now spreading to the governing bodies of professional sports and
18:03
Speaker 3: the either the partnerships that they have that are hard
18:08
Speaker 3: to break, the just just how it is so difficult
18:13
Speaker 3: to govern everything that's going on, and so I make
18:16
Speaker 3: the joke when we when we were talking about Loki
18:18
Speaker 3: and the NC double A being he who remains and
18:21
Speaker 3: is it better to have the evil that we know
18:25
Speaker 3: versus the evil that we don't And what happens when
18:30
Speaker 3: we don't have any evil? Now we don't have anything,
18:34
Speaker 3: so kind of pushing things back.
18:36
Speaker 4: Well, so ever since the Supreme Court case that basically
18:38
Speaker 4: showed that nil it should be allowed, like the NCUBA
18:43
Speaker 4: had no case for doing what they have done, for decades,
18:45
Speaker 4: the NC double A has basically been a hammer looking
18:48
Speaker 4: for a nail, right because they can't police what they
18:51
Speaker 4: used to police very heavily because nil is legal and
18:54
Speaker 4: you have the collectives and you have all of this,
18:57
Speaker 4: But this is an area that they may have doun
19:00
Speaker 4: and nail that they could actually be of use of,
19:02
Speaker 4: and it is policing the gambling that you see at
19:05
Speaker 4: the NC double A level because one of the big
19:09
Speaker 4: benefits to having these sports books in the United States
19:12
Speaker 4: is you have all this gambling data. You have these
19:15
Speaker 4: odd this odds data that as as bets are coming
19:18
Speaker 4: in and you and you see things that are outside
19:22
Speaker 4: the norm, they they're tripping the algorithms, and you know
19:25
Speaker 4: their their their sigma esque delineations. The book, the odds
19:30
Speaker 4: makers can can easily track those and and inform the
19:36
Speaker 4: the governing bodies, whether it's the NBA, the NFL, or
19:39
Speaker 4: the nc double A to look into them. You know,
19:42
Speaker 4: it was just what three or four years ago that
19:44
Speaker 4: you had the Alabama head coach who placed a bet
19:52
Speaker 4: on his coach losing to l s U because he
19:57
Speaker 4: had not released the information that's starting was not going
20:00
Speaker 4: to play, and he had made the phone call for
20:02
Speaker 4: the bet from the Cincinnati Reds facility on Pete Roads
20:06
Speaker 4: Bullet Pete Rose volleyball, I mean, and that's what tripped
20:09
Speaker 4: it off because it was an abnormally large bet prop
20:13
Speaker 4: bet on a random game on a random night. So
20:17
Speaker 4: if the NCAA has any use, this might be where
20:22
Speaker 4: it is, because I don't think it's going to be
20:25
Speaker 4: in trying to corral the nil situation.
20:31
Speaker 3: And I agree with you on that one. One thing
20:34
Speaker 3: that I'm very curious of because all of this, whether
20:38
Speaker 3: it is NIL through players wanting to get paid, through
20:43
Speaker 3: all of this has come because of television dollars and
20:48
Speaker 3: the full on tsunami of TV dollars that has come
20:54
Speaker 3: in in the last twenty to thirty years, whether again,
20:57
Speaker 3: like you and I have talked about, whether that be
20:58
Speaker 3: the NC DOUBLEA tournament and March Madness. Now with how
21:01
Speaker 3: the each of the conferences have their their money coming in,
21:05
Speaker 3: All of that comes from the TV dollars every ESPN
21:11
Speaker 3: is is partnered with with DraftKings like well, I.
21:16
Speaker 4: Mean every I mean, now every pregame show provides you
21:20
Speaker 4: the odds, the odds.
21:21
Speaker 3: And and here and that. But that's what I'm saying,
21:23
Speaker 3: and so like how where and.
21:25
Speaker 4: So to your point, not only has the TV money
21:28
Speaker 4: come into it, the sports betting money. I mean honestly,
21:32
Speaker 4: if you want to know probably what the next gold
21:35
Speaker 4: or where the next uh deluge of money. And and
21:38
Speaker 4: they and the leagues know this. They know that the
21:42
Speaker 4: sports maker or the odds makers have mountains of money
21:45
Speaker 4: that can be funneled into the leagues because of partnerships.
21:53
Speaker 4: So they're trying to find every which way they can
21:55
Speaker 4: to incorporate it. While at the same time, as you
21:57
Speaker 4: pointed out earlier, you got to maintain the integrity of
21:59
Speaker 4: the sport right as soon as that goes away, as
22:01
Speaker 4: soon as there's any question to the legitimacy of what
22:04
Speaker 4: we're watching on a nightly basis, which is also why
22:06
Speaker 4: we've talked about these NBA games where teams are tanking
22:09
Speaker 4: and they're just ungodly watchable, and how that can even
22:12
Speaker 4: affect the odds makers. All of this kind of plays
22:15
Speaker 4: a part in there is money to be made, but
22:18
Speaker 4: we care about the integrity of the sport.
22:20
Speaker 3: And and so where is again, whether you're the NC
22:23
Speaker 3: DOUBLEA or we haven't even touch base on the professional
22:26
Speaker 3: league yet, but like, where is the where is the
22:30
Speaker 3: balance in that? And where do you end up finding
22:33
Speaker 3: how how do you stop it versus how like.
22:37
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, just so in the case in the
22:39
Speaker 4: case of Brandon Soresby, Yes Techack in Texas Tech, he
22:43
Speaker 4: is going he's taking an indefinite, indefinite leave of absence
22:47
Speaker 4: from the team to go into gambling rehab because he
22:49
Speaker 4: claims he's making thousands of wagers and has been and
22:54
Speaker 4: has been for a while in fact, including while he
22:56
Speaker 4: was a walk on, or while he was a red
22:58
Speaker 4: shirt freshman at Indiana he actually placed a wager on
23:01
Speaker 4: Indiana football, which you and I both know you kid, no, no,
23:08
Speaker 4: But again, just like any other vice, gambling has this danger.
23:14
Speaker 4: I mean, that's one of the reasons why if you
23:15
Speaker 4: listen to I mean we both listen to sports podcasts,
23:19
Speaker 4: and most of them spons have some kind of sponsorship
23:21
Speaker 4: arrangement with a with a sports book, you have to
23:24
Speaker 4: listen to this litany of disclosure at the end that
23:28
Speaker 4: they raced through talking about gambling pom you know, call
23:30
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, blah blah. This is why it is
23:33
Speaker 4: an issue.
23:34
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying and I'm I'm absolutely not trying
23:37
Speaker 3: to say that it is not an issue, and I.
23:39
Speaker 4: Don't know, I do feel sorry for that. I think
23:42
Speaker 4: that as it becomes easier, the access becomes easier, you're
23:45
Speaker 4: gonna gonna have more of these stories. Because again, what's
23:49
Speaker 4: what stands out about this more than anything else is
23:51
Speaker 4: this is a five million dollar nil quarterback. It'd be
23:55
Speaker 4: different if we're talking about the second string uh strong
24:00
Speaker 4: safety on Northwestern Oklahoma's I mean, you know, random directional
24:06
Speaker 4: school D two football program, because they're not getting in
24:10
Speaker 4: IO money, and it'd be really easy to get addicted
24:13
Speaker 4: to gambling, especially if you start having some wins. But
24:16
Speaker 4: this shows no one's immune from him. If you're getting
24:20
Speaker 4: seven figures and.
24:21
Speaker 3: I'm about to step into it, and I know I am.
24:23
Speaker 3: But would this story have also come out if he
24:28
Speaker 3: hadn't transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech Indiana. No, No,
24:32
Speaker 3: he wouldn't.
24:33
Speaker 4: Sorry.
24:33
Speaker 3: No, he was in Indiana and then you went to Cincinnati. Sorry,
24:36
Speaker 3: And now he is at Texas Tech, and Cincinnati says
24:38
Speaker 3: they owe him money.
24:39
Speaker 4: Ah, he owes them money.
24:42
Speaker 3: And so that's why. Yeah, And so that's why that's
24:44
Speaker 3: why I said I'm stepping into this. I know, because
24:46
Speaker 3: like he was betting in Indiana. You don't think Indiana
24:50
Speaker 3: knew somehow that he had a problem. And if he did,
24:53
Speaker 3: if they did know, they let us because and that's
24:55
Speaker 3: why he's no longer Indiana now just Cincinnati. And Cincinnati
24:58
Speaker 3: gave him a huge and io dealing.
25:00
Speaker 4: At the time he was at Indiana. Indians Indiana, they
25:02
Speaker 4: weren't anything. They may not have cared. I don't, I don't.
25:05
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily know if if it come if it's
25:08
Speaker 4: only coming to light because of the Cincinnati. I think
25:10
Speaker 4: it comes to light because of who he is, how
25:11
Speaker 4: much he's getting paid where he's at. I mean, I
25:14
Speaker 4: think if it was any power for school and it's
25:18
Speaker 4: a quarterback that it makes news. But just to show
25:23
Speaker 4: the links that some people will go to win their
25:28
Speaker 4: their odds. There is a man in France who placed
25:32
Speaker 4: a bet on a record height temperature in Paris. He
25:36
Speaker 4: then walked up to her thermometer with a blow dryer
25:39
Speaker 4: and won thirty seven thousand euro. That's the I mean,
25:47
Speaker 4: that's what we're talking about here. Where the world of
25:51
Speaker 4: the world of gambling and odds making, there's you're gonna
25:56
Speaker 4: have these these these uh, these players. And when I
26:00
Speaker 4: say players, I'm talking about in the context of of
26:04
Speaker 4: of unscrupulous play who are going to try and manipulate
26:09
Speaker 4: situations because they think they will not get caught because
26:12
Speaker 4: the amounts are not consequential. It's different if you're talking
26:16
Speaker 4: about six to seven figure bets bets when you're talking
26:19
Speaker 4: about you know, four or five figures, you don't think
26:22
Speaker 4: you're gonna get caught. But again, these odds makers are
26:26
Speaker 4: not stupid. They've been tracking this data for decades and
26:30
Speaker 4: they can see the irregularities when they happen.
26:34
Speaker 3: Is it a point that that's the information that needs
26:38
Speaker 3: to get out to not and again not someone that
26:42
Speaker 3: has a true legitimate issue, which it seems to do.
26:47
Speaker 3: They said, thousands of bets to have not someone that
26:50
Speaker 3: has a true legitimate issue, but to some of and
26:54
Speaker 3: I don't want to say casual, like it's it's like
26:59
Speaker 3: it's a real thing. And I get that, but like
27:01
Speaker 3: making sure that especially down at the college, like the
27:05
Speaker 3: college level, but even approached like you're gonna get caught
27:09
Speaker 3: because like I mean, as you're saying, like some of
27:12
Speaker 3: these these aren't large, you were going to get caught
27:16
Speaker 3: because I thought, for the longest why why betting was
27:19
Speaker 3: such an issue is because the players weren't. I mean,
27:23
Speaker 3: you gotta think back in the seventies, like sixties and seventies,
27:25
Speaker 3: depending on most of the sports, the guys had to
27:27
Speaker 3: have second jobs. Yeah, and in the offseason that doesn't
27:31
Speaker 3: happen anymore. So the money got so big, and I
27:33
Speaker 3: think that's why all of the leagues are like they
27:35
Speaker 3: make so much now they're not gonna bet anymore. But
27:38
Speaker 3: I think it's also like, well, I.
27:40
Speaker 4: Mean, I mean, and you play, I mean you played
27:42
Speaker 4: college ball for A and M. When you're on the
27:44
Speaker 4: when you're on the plane, when you're on the road trips,
27:46
Speaker 4: and we you know, we saw because we saw that
27:48
Speaker 4: we heard about these stories with the bulls and last Dance.
27:52
Speaker 4: You're on the plane, what are you doing with the guys?
27:55
Speaker 4: You're playing?
27:56
Speaker 3: Are you playing? Cart you're doing?
27:58
Speaker 4: And what and what are you doing? You're and it
28:00
Speaker 4: I mean again, it all just kind of permeates into
28:03
Speaker 4: your system that this does.
28:05
Speaker 3: It absolutely does.
28:06
Speaker 4: The natural part of being in this realm is every
28:10
Speaker 4: you know, there's there's stakes to everything I do, and
28:13
Speaker 4: if I can make money off of it, I'm going
28:15
Speaker 4: to do it.
28:16
Speaker 3: High school report is coming up next, and then Jared
28:19
Speaker 3: and I are diving right back into this because I
28:21
Speaker 3: want to keep this going before we start talking about
28:23
Speaker 3: actual on the court stuff at the five o'clock hour.

Speaker 14: Marty and McGee, Saturday morning sixty nine on the.
31:01
Speaker 3: Three point seven FM.
31:18
Speaker 12: Welcome into the High School Report.
31:20
Speaker 15: I'm Kayler Brapley, and today we are jumping out to
31:22
Speaker 15: the Polaris Fun Center phone line to visit with the
31:25
Speaker 15: head coach of the Lake Creek Lady Lions softball team,
31:29
Speaker 15: Miss Candice Carter coach, thanks for joining me once again.
31:32
Speaker 7: Thank you, happy to be here, happy to have you.
31:35
Speaker 15: So it was a great regular season for Lake Creek
31:38
Speaker 15: twenty nine and one, going twelve to zero in district play.
31:42
Speaker 15: That's the fifth time in the last six years that
31:45
Speaker 15: Lake Creek has gone undefeated in district play.
31:48
Speaker 12: What were some of the keys to success for your
31:50
Speaker 12: squad this year?
31:52
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, we do have a lot of returners
31:54
Speaker 7: coming back from the previous year, so I think experience
31:57
Speaker 7: definitely has a lot to do with it. We just
32:00
Speaker 7: try to keep things really simple, not look too far ahead,
32:02
Speaker 7: not live in the past, and just be present with
32:05
Speaker 7: what we need to do.
32:05
Speaker 10: It's the task at.
32:06
Speaker 7: Hand that's upon us. With whatever the next step is,
32:09
Speaker 7: we try to keep it pretty simple.
32:12
Speaker 15: So, District seventeen was once again one of the toughest
32:15
Speaker 15: districts to play in, and your squad, you know, managed
32:19
Speaker 15: to come through it unscathed. How helpful was that to
32:23
Speaker 15: have that level of competition and district play and how
32:26
Speaker 15: much did that help get you ready for playoffs?
32:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, our district is really competitive. We got a lot
32:31
Speaker 7: of good athletes in our district's great coaching going on,
32:35
Speaker 7: and so It definitely helps for repair us to be
32:37
Speaker 7: ready for the postseason, just getting to see different matchups
32:40
Speaker 7: and getting to see different arms, and so we definitely
32:43
Speaker 7: credit our district a lot to preparing everyone and getting
32:46
Speaker 7: ready for the postseason for sure.
32:49
Speaker 15: So last weekend in the by district round in five
32:52
Speaker 15: A Division two, your Lady Lions swept West Fork in
32:57
Speaker 15: two games, ten to zero and fifteen to two.
33:00
Speaker 12: What were some of your takeaways from that series?
33:03
Speaker 7: You know, I really liked how we showed up for
33:04
Speaker 7: Round one playoffs. We did a great job situationally hitting.
33:07
Speaker 7: I felt like our hitters were really disciplined. All three
33:10
Speaker 7: pitchers through and through exceptionally well. And so I liked
33:14
Speaker 7: seeing all different facets of the game working and we
33:17
Speaker 7: just hope to see that going into round two as well.
33:19
Speaker 7: So looking forward to the matchup against Santa Fe.
33:22
Speaker 15: You mentioned all three pitchers throwing well. How big of
33:25
Speaker 15: an impact does that make having, you know, three pitchers
33:28
Speaker 15: that you can rely on, because a lot of teams,
33:30
Speaker 15: especially at the high school level, only have one or
33:32
Speaker 15: two pitchers that they really feel comfortable throwing out there.
33:36
Speaker 15: And you only gave up three hits across the two
33:38
Speaker 15: games against West Fork. So how much of an impact
33:41
Speaker 15: did that strong pitching staff make this season and in
33:44
Speaker 15: that playoff game?
33:45
Speaker 7: It makes a huge difference and definitely making sure that
33:48
Speaker 7: we're able to get those pitchers playoff time as well,
33:52
Speaker 7: because you know, that's where the nerves settle in and
33:55
Speaker 7: things like that. And so we were happy that we
33:57
Speaker 7: got to see all three of them in the series
34:00
Speaker 7: against West Fork, and we were really happy with the
34:01
Speaker 7: outcome with what they produced. And you know, I think
34:05
Speaker 7: each part of our game trust one another. So I
34:08
Speaker 7: think our pitching trust our offense. Our offense trust our defense,
34:11
Speaker 7: and if we continue to work that way, then we
34:15
Speaker 7: have a lot of confidence in what we can do,
34:16
Speaker 7: not only at the plate, but defensively and on the mound.
34:19
Speaker 15: You're getting ready take on Santa Fe in the area
34:22
Speaker 15: around and that series got moved up to start tomorrow.
34:27
Speaker 15: So how how different is the mindset? You know, last
34:30
Speaker 15: week you played a double header in the playoff series.
34:34
Speaker 15: This week, if you do go to a game three,
34:36
Speaker 15: it'll be three games and three days. So how much
34:38
Speaker 15: does that change the mindset for your girls?
34:41
Speaker 7: You know, I don't know that the mindset necessarily changes,
34:44
Speaker 7: but a doubleheader is always tough. You know, it's it's
34:49
Speaker 7: a very long day. It's trying to keep everyone extremely
34:53
Speaker 7: focused for a long period of time. So it's never
34:56
Speaker 7: ideal to do the doubleheader, but it was well worked
34:58
Speaker 7: out because of test sing and proms and things like that.
35:02
Speaker 7: But this week we were able to spread it out
35:04
Speaker 7: a little bit more and I think it's good for
35:06
Speaker 7: both teams. I mean, everybody is able to get some rest,
35:09
Speaker 7: everybody is able to get home in a decent hour
35:11
Speaker 7: and wake up the next day because we still have
35:13
Speaker 7: school and things like that. So if you can split
35:15
Speaker 7: it up, I mean I'd always like to do that
35:17
Speaker 7: for sure.
35:18
Speaker 15: So the matchup is Santa Fe who is twenty six
35:22
Speaker 15: and seven overall this year went eight and four in
35:25
Speaker 15: District twenty play.
35:28
Speaker 12: What do you expect to see from them?
35:30
Speaker 7: You know, they're a highly competitive team, they're well coached.
35:33
Speaker 7: We expect to see them, you know, bring their best game.
35:38
Speaker 7: We know that they have some good arms, they have
35:40
Speaker 7: a solid lineup. We have a lot of respect for
35:43
Speaker 7: what they're going to do and we're excited to see
35:45
Speaker 7: what they bring to the plate.
35:47
Speaker 15: So this year's Lady Lions team pretty senior heavy. How
35:50
Speaker 15: much does this playoff run mean to those seniors to
35:53
Speaker 15: be able to continue repping that name on the front
35:55
Speaker 15: of their jersey as long as they keep winning games.
35:58
Speaker 7: You know, I think every playoff has its own different
36:02
Speaker 7: emotions and different feelings with it. We do have nine seniors.
36:05
Speaker 7: You are correct about that. I don't know if necessarily
36:09
Speaker 7: the feeling changes year to year, but I think knowing
36:11
Speaker 7: that it could, you know, every chance they get to
36:14
Speaker 7: put that uniform on is one step closer to it
36:17
Speaker 7: being the last time they put it on. I definitely
36:19
Speaker 7: think there's some I think there's a little bit of
36:21
Speaker 7: a sacred moment when that happens, and I think they're
36:24
Speaker 7: really happy to get to continue to put it on
36:26
Speaker 7: every single day. And you know, the thing about this
36:28
Speaker 7: team is they've played together for so long, they truly
36:30
Speaker 7: love each other. The chemistry is extremely special amongst this group,
36:33
Speaker 7: especially amongst the senior class. And I think, you know,
36:37
Speaker 7: we're just taking it one day at a time, trying
36:39
Speaker 7: to keep it simple, not trying to look at the
36:43
Speaker 7: the present or the future too much, trying to stay
36:45
Speaker 7: present with what we need to do. But I do think,
36:49
Speaker 7: you know, it is a heavy senior group, and I
36:52
Speaker 7: think they're excited every time they get to lace up
36:53
Speaker 7: those cleets and put the uniform on. Every single time,
36:56
Speaker 7: it just gets a little bit more special and gets
36:58
Speaker 7: us one step closer to this incredible legacy that they've
37:02
Speaker 7: written and that they're getting to leave for the ones
37:04
Speaker 7: to come.
37:05
Speaker 15: All right, coach, well, thanks for your time today. Good
37:07
Speaker 15: luck on this playoff run.
37:10
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
37:11
Speaker 7: Caleb, thank you so much.

38:35
Speaker 3: Chipbox Sports Talk on a Tuesday afternoon Sports Radio eleven
38:40
Speaker 3: fifty AM, The Zone ninety through seven FM. That is
38:43
Speaker 3: not Chip's voice, Jason Cornelie's here, Jared Hicks here. We
38:46
Speaker 3: have been talking because it is such a huge thing
38:50
Speaker 3: that I do not think, well, it's never gone away,
38:52
Speaker 3: because you even mentioned going all the way back to
38:54
Speaker 3: was it nineteen nineteen Black Sox scandal?
38:57
Speaker 4: Or nineteen thirteen, Team nineteen.
39:01
Speaker 3: Ninety eight, going all the way back to that of
39:04
Speaker 3: how pervasive gambling is, and I really do think over
39:09
Speaker 3: arching for a while it went away. But again, in
39:12
Speaker 3: my opinion, as I thought players content, especially on the
39:16
Speaker 3: professional levels, players contracts started going up, and they're they're
39:20
Speaker 3: making all of this money, especially in the NBA, because
39:24
Speaker 3: that was typically the easiest way to do the true
39:28
Speaker 3: like the points shame, you have to lose a game,
39:30
Speaker 3: you just manipulate the spread. And so when players started
39:34
Speaker 3: making so much money, you didn't see that as much,
39:37
Speaker 3: except now you do, and it's coming back, and and
39:40
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what or if there is
39:44
Speaker 3: anything that can be done to fix it.
39:50
Speaker 4: I mean, when again, when you get an actor, and
39:55
Speaker 4: when I'm using the term actor as description of any
39:59
Speaker 4: athlete who has a financial situation that requires quick, easy money,
40:06
Speaker 4: and a lot of times it's rack its debt. They've
40:09
Speaker 4: they've just racked up a massive amount of debt based
40:12
Speaker 4: on any number of factors. They're the ones that are
40:17
Speaker 4: easily going to be susceptible to what we've seen, especially
40:21
Speaker 4: when you start looking at the NBA case of Terry
40:25
Speaker 4: Rozier and and everything that associates it with that. The
40:28
Speaker 4: Chauncey Billups side of it was something totally separate, although
40:33
Speaker 4: there is apparently some crossover in the character the background.
40:38
Speaker 4: But I mean that to me speaks more about, just
40:44
Speaker 4: like I said, like we were talking about before the
40:46
Speaker 4: high School report, the pervasive nature of when you are
40:49
Speaker 4: when you are an athlete, and especially one that gets
40:54
Speaker 4: to the collegiate. But I mean you you sometimes see
40:58
Speaker 4: it a high school, but you see it in the collegiate,
41:00
Speaker 4: especially in the professional levels, being on the road and
41:05
Speaker 4: playing those card games and you know, you're you're betting
41:10
Speaker 4: next next month's paycheck and and things like that. Or
41:13
Speaker 4: you know, if if you're Michael Jordan, you're betting six
41:16
Speaker 4: figures on.
41:16
Speaker 3: A what well we're And that's what made me start
41:20
Speaker 3: to chuckle a little bit, like when you noticed Michael.
41:23
Speaker 3: We saw in the last dance Michael Jordan was taught
41:25
Speaker 3: was gambling over like flipping quarters up against the wall.
41:29
Speaker 3: I see if we get closer to the wall, you know,
41:30
Speaker 3: we played that game and like, yeah.
41:33
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly speaking, we may never know. Was the
41:37
Speaker 4: retirement actually David Stern saying we need you to leave
41:42
Speaker 4: for two years because we know what's going on. I mean, again,
41:45
Speaker 4: this is reckless speculation, but I mean it's been out there.
41:48
Speaker 3: That all of this is yeah, and and people go
41:51
Speaker 3: up and down with that, I will say, speaking and
41:53
Speaker 3: just completely off tangent. I saw that Charles Barkley and
41:58
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan are finally talking again, which is just that
42:03
Speaker 3: is the world is better when those two are actually friends.
42:06
Speaker 3: And I guess now that Michael is no longer the
42:09
Speaker 3: owner of the Charlotte Hornets, he recognizes that maybe Charles
42:13
Speaker 3: was right.
42:14
Speaker 4: I mean, when when you watch that interview with Gail
42:16
Speaker 4: King and he's talking about being a NASCAR honestly, this
42:20
Speaker 4: is the first time I've seen him with joy Oh
42:23
Speaker 4: he's I mean because the interview with Mike Erico that
42:27
Speaker 4: they keep running on and you put it the almost
42:30
Speaker 4: unwatchable NBA on NBC, Well that's interesting. Yeah, it's just
42:35
Speaker 4: him talking about the sport that he's he is most
42:40
Speaker 4: he will always be known for. But when you watch
42:42
Speaker 4: that interview with Gail King, you see that he feels
42:45
Speaker 4: a relief in the fact he can be himself at
42:50
Speaker 4: at NASCAR events when you're walking through when he's walking
42:53
Speaker 4: through the garage and he's walking down Pitt Lane, and
42:56
Speaker 4: fans have even said this that he's nice, very approachable,
43:00
Speaker 4: you take pictures. It's not like when he goes to
43:02
Speaker 4: the NBA and he is seen as you know, this
43:05
Speaker 4: thing higher than the than your typical man. Right, And
43:11
Speaker 4: so yeah, there's a lot to be said about just
43:14
Speaker 4: the freedom that comes from doing something that he's he's
43:16
Speaker 4: always had a love for because he's a he's a
43:18
Speaker 4: North Carolina boy.
43:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
43:19
Speaker 4: Well, because I know a lot of way I'm saying
43:21
Speaker 4: North Carolina boy in the propper term. I don't want
43:25
Speaker 4: to get any phone calls. He was a young man
43:29
Speaker 4: who grew up in North Carolina.
43:30
Speaker 3: Well, we gotta think about it. And I know we're
43:32
Speaker 3: ill talking about it, but like whether it's him, whether
43:34
Speaker 3: it's Brad Dougherty who was also in the NBA and
43:37
Speaker 3: was huge into NASCAR. Brad Dougherty had it, was a
43:40
Speaker 3: co owner of of of an NASCAR team even before
43:43
Speaker 3: Jordan was like all of those North Carolina boys, I'll
43:47
Speaker 3: say it to their Nascar was there.
43:50
Speaker 4: That's I mean, that is their first love. That's their
43:52
Speaker 4: first love. It's a religion in that part of the country,
43:55
Speaker 4: believe it or not, absolutely, it's hard. I guess in
43:58
Speaker 4: Texas high school before is the equivalent to what NASCAR
44:01
Speaker 4: is over there because the way we talk about, uh,
44:06
Speaker 4: you know the famous high school athletes that came up
44:10
Speaker 4: through Texas.
44:11
Speaker 3: That they can they know the drivers and the like,
44:15
Speaker 3: all of that stuff, all.
44:16
Speaker 4: The connections, all the times they gotten in fist fights
44:19
Speaker 4: and fights with wrenches. Anyway, I know we're kind of
44:21
Speaker 4: getting off topic here, but again, you know, it just
44:25
Speaker 4: shows you that even at even at the height of popularity,
44:28
Speaker 4: at the height of earning capability, with what he was
44:32
Speaker 4: doing with Nike, because we know from his NBA contract,
44:35
Speaker 4: yes he was probably one of the higher paid NBA stars,
44:38
Speaker 4: but the money he made from Nike dwarfs that. Even then.
44:43
Speaker 4: The competitiveness and the compulsion to to gamble and wager
44:49
Speaker 4: is there for these guys who are just so used
44:51
Speaker 4: to competing in every.
44:53
Speaker 3: And every single thing. I'm gonna get his back on
44:55
Speaker 3: topic here in just a second, but real quick, we're
44:58
Speaker 3: gonna do the Astros report and then back and I
45:00
Speaker 3: really want to kind of hone back into the hammer
45:02
Speaker 3: and the nail that Jared was talking about when it
45:04
Speaker 3: comes to college sports. We'll be back in just a second.
45:07

Speaker 18: We'll do something wrong. We need help, and honestly, that's
46:03

Speaker 8: off day yesterday, as the team begins a six game
46:28

46:30
Speaker 8: the Orioles. It's no secret the Astros have struggled in
46:33
Speaker 8: the early going of the twenty twenty sixth season. The
46:35
Speaker 8: Astros are just eleven and eighteen and in the basement
46:38
Speaker 8: of the American League West, but general manager Dana Brown
46:41
Speaker 8: offered a public backing of manager Joe A Spot on Sunday.
46:45
Speaker 8: Brown told The Athletic that the team is not considering
46:47
Speaker 8: a managerial change. Despite the team's slow start to the season,
46:51
Speaker 8: the Astros pitching staff has been decimated by injuries. Ace Hunter,
46:55
Speaker 8: Brown and Christian Javier have totaled only five starts because
46:58
Speaker 8: of shoulder strains, and both.

Speaker 4: Is there?
48:20
Speaker 13: Hold on?
48:21
Speaker 3: Okay years?
48:29
Speaker 4: Okay, so that song came on today. Now we've talked
48:34
Speaker 4: about I mean in the entire history of our hosting
48:39
Speaker 4: nineties considered the best decade music. That song came out
48:43
Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety. That song played on terrestrial radio. It
48:47
Speaker 4: played on terrestrial radio. No. Now, granted, there have been
48:54
Speaker 4: other songs prior to this that talked about self satisfaction,
49:00
Speaker 4: but most of the time the language was coded, so
49:03
Speaker 4: for instance, Relaxed by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Turning Japanese
49:07
Speaker 4: by the Vapors, things like that. But that song, again,
49:12
Speaker 4: there's there's no hiding what it is. So obviously when
49:16
Speaker 4: we're in the truck and we're listening to the ninety
49:19
Speaker 4: station and I see that song coming on, it is
49:21
Speaker 4: flip as as possible, which is crazy to think about.
49:27
Speaker 3: You know.
49:27
Speaker 4: However, many years in nineteen ninety, the fact that we'd
49:31
Speaker 4: be in the car and you just gotta let it
49:33
Speaker 4: play because what else we gonna do. You got to
49:35
Speaker 4: turn the dial and hope you you find the current.
49:38
Speaker 3: The other day, just like, there is zero way that
49:43
Speaker 3: I should have been both listening to the Purple Rain
49:48
Speaker 3: album but also going to I would like I was
49:51
Speaker 3: with my parents and saw Purple and looking it it
49:54
Speaker 3: was that, but like, there's no way that I should
49:55
Speaker 3: have been watching Purple Rain, and I still like my
49:58
Speaker 3: parents wanted to see it. Baby, We're gonna go watch
50:01
Speaker 3: Purple right.
50:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's with age and obviously with the internet, we
50:08
Speaker 4: are learning the background to so many songs. All right,
50:11
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say yes, thank you. I want I want
50:13
Speaker 4: to do this real quick.
50:15
Speaker 3: We're gonna see how many of our eighty four listeners
50:17
Speaker 3: are paying attention right now.

50:56
Speaker 3: Didn't say okay, Yeah, who.
51:02
Speaker 4: Did you see?
51:02
Speaker 3: Chappelle said he might be coming back.
51:07
Speaker 4: That's it's just not rest in power to Charlie Murphy.
51:11
Speaker 4: I just don't know if it can be the same
51:12
Speaker 4: without it can't.
51:13
Speaker 3: But he said that he'd be. One of the reasons
51:15
Speaker 3: why he's even considering is because Eddie said that he
51:18
Speaker 3: would do Charlie Murphy's parts.
51:19
Speaker 4: Okay, i'm m that was.
51:22
Speaker 3: The oh he said that was what he was able
51:25
Speaker 3: to talk to Eddie Murphy and they were going over it,
51:29
Speaker 3: and Eddie said that he would consider doing his brother's parts.
51:33
Speaker 3: I got it to do some of those skits.
51:35
Speaker 4: The my my I G algorithm. It cycles. But once
51:39
Speaker 4: I start liking one of those Chappelle's show clips from
51:43
Speaker 4: from the from the mid two thousands, all of a sudden,
51:45
Speaker 4: I start getting more and it just what, just what
51:50
Speaker 4: there might not There may not be a funnier two
51:54
Speaker 4: years oh no comedy than those two seasons.
51:59
Speaker 3: Rick James, like you, what did the five fingers say
52:03
Speaker 3: to the face?
52:05
Speaker 4: Slap? Oh blooded my five favorite rappers.
52:12
Speaker 3: Die Lion, Dialon, Dialon, dialon and Die Lion.
52:16
Speaker 4: But you brought up purple Rain. I still believe that
52:20
Speaker 4: the USA Charlie Murphy playing basketball against Prince is funnier
52:24
Speaker 4: than the Rick James. Uh oh true, Charlie Murphy.
52:28
Speaker 19: Yeah.
52:29
Speaker 3: And and here's the thing, Prince confirmed that. Yeah, absolutely
52:33
Speaker 3: confirmed the story.
52:34
Speaker 4: Because it's it's only and it's only like ten minutes,
52:36
Speaker 4: whereas as the Rick James I believe stretches over two episodes,
52:39
Speaker 4: but that ten minutes to me is just packed with
52:43
Speaker 4: so much funny game. Yeah, anyway, glouses like it is,
52:47
Speaker 4: and Prince confirmed it is, like oh, and I mean
52:51
Speaker 4: I've heard from other celebrities over time, like uh, ping pong,
52:56
Speaker 4: I mean any number of sports. Prince was, Prince was, well,
53:00
Speaker 4: we were talking about Michael Jordan. He was a competitive Yeah,
53:02
Speaker 4: absolutely was.
53:05
Speaker 3: What Yeah, so yeah that was And when when he
53:08
Speaker 3: said and I saw that, like the the he because
53:12
Speaker 3: Davis talked about he's like, he's not doing anymore, like
53:14
Speaker 3: that is past. But he said the main reason why
53:17
Speaker 3: he is even fully considering it now one because he
53:20
Speaker 3: owns the show again. And then two he said he
53:22
Speaker 3: spoke to Eddie Murphy and Eddie said that he would
53:24
Speaker 3: do Charlie Murphy's parts and to to make that happen.
53:29
Speaker 3: And so if that, even if it's just like an
53:33
Speaker 3: eight episode mini like a mini season, like it would
53:38
Speaker 3: be the most streamed.
53:41
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm certain Netflix, because I'm assuming his his deal
53:46
Speaker 4: with Netflix is where that will He'll be shocked. Oh man,
53:52
Speaker 4: that might be eight figure.
53:53
Speaker 3: The Mike Tyson fight and I think they've they've broken
53:57
Speaker 3: a couple of times, but the Mike Tyson. I know,
53:59
Speaker 3: like streaming mess up because of how many people were
54:02
Speaker 3: like I if yeah, the the opening day, like the
54:06
Speaker 3: moment that is released, Netflix will probably break yeah because
54:10
Speaker 3: that many people will will want to to dive into
54:13
Speaker 3: and watch it, and I will be one of them
54:15
Speaker 3: quickly before we go to the top of the hour.
54:18
Speaker 3: I just I did not and I do not understand
54:23
Speaker 3: I know the n C. This may be the one
54:25
Speaker 3: thing that the n C double A can can really
54:30
Speaker 3: sink their gums into, because that's like we've talked about
54:33
Speaker 3: how youruthless they are.
54:34
Speaker 4: I mean, I you know, I had a I had
54:36
Speaker 4: a friend who worked for A and M Athletics in
54:38
Speaker 4: the graphic design department, and even he could not do
54:43
Speaker 4: fantasy football.
54:44
Speaker 3: If you have there is no any tie to the athletic.
54:47
Speaker 4: Any tie to athletics means zero on gambling. And that's
54:51
Speaker 4: like the one of the few rules that comes down
54:55
Speaker 4: from the Almighty or he who should not be named,
54:59
Speaker 4: that goes to every employee. And that's just I mean,
55:02
Speaker 4: there's no question to it. But like I said, when
55:06
Speaker 4: you start talking about and and again, I'm all up
55:11
Speaker 4: for the discussion on player equality, paying, the paying these
55:17
Speaker 4: athletes for what they're doing. And honestly, a scholarship is
55:21
Speaker 4: not enough because when you when you tie on all
55:23
Speaker 4: the restrictions that again said n C double A has
55:25
Speaker 4: placed on these athletes that they cannot earn money or
55:28
Speaker 4: they can only get so many meals per day. There
55:32
Speaker 4: there is justification for you've got to make You've got
55:34
Speaker 4: to find a way to make it. And again this
55:39
Speaker 4: is this is a it's an easy route. It's easily exploited,
55:43
Speaker 4: and that to me is where the inherent danger is
55:46
Speaker 4: is because as more and more, as as again as
55:50
Speaker 4: the access becomes easier and easier, and that's the problem
55:53
Speaker 4: you're going to.
55:54
Speaker 3: Like me, that's what I have have failed to understand
55:57
Speaker 3: in this is how accessible now sports betting is, especially
56:02
Speaker 3: like the prop bets and all of those things, like
56:04
Speaker 3: it is so the accessible.
56:07
Speaker 4: The prediction markets because those those are not bound by
56:12
Speaker 4: state gambling lots. Those are completely different. But that it's
56:15
Speaker 4: just as dangerous it is, if.
56:16
Speaker 3: Not more so, Like all of that comes in. And
56:18
Speaker 3: that's where if there's been something that I have myself
56:21
Speaker 3: have drastically underestimated just how easily it is, like because
56:25
Speaker 3: before you had to find the kid at you in
56:27
Speaker 3: your dorm. That was gonna be the bookie for everybody,
56:30
Speaker 3: and now it's just yeah, just grab your phone and
56:32
