2:01
The other cool thing about that Troy Lee Campbell sounds like a
2:03
serial killer. It does.
2:07
Chris, I don't know how I feel about that.
2:09
Thanks for you know, every every time I introduce myself I have
2:14
to include my middle name, but I don't need to be accused of a
2:17
serial. Killer.
2:17
No, no, no, no. I didn't see.
2:19
Him and I have this odd fascination we do.
2:22
Like, like, could you not last day of Thanksgiving with with,
2:24
with June's parents were here, Skyler's husband.
2:28
So we're all sitting at the table, right?
2:30
Both his mom and I think his mom was there still at that point in
2:33
time, Jake and and Sky and Nikki and me and it came up, serial
2:40
killers came up and like we had this legit 20 minute
2:43
conversation. If they're kind of look at me
2:45
like, wow, really you like I was like, hey, dude, and it started
2:49
with Ed Gein. Oh no, it started.
2:51
I don't know how it started, but oh, it's Dahmer party.
2:52
We were talking about a live the plane crash.
2:54
Where people ate. Because it started with this
2:57
feeding chicken meat to the chickens and cannibalizing the
3:00
chickens. Because, because people think,
3:01
oh, you're going to caramelize the chickens.
3:03
And then and then and then June, which is Skyler's husband.
3:07
She's like, oh, kind of like the, the, the Dom, that party
3:10
that, you know, they're the plane crash with alive.
3:14
Yeah, the Dahmer party. Right.
3:15
And then and then went to the Dahmer party and that went to.
3:17
Dahmer party, that's what. It was right.
3:20
But then, But then we all heard Dahmer, so that opened up the
3:23
Dahmer conversation, which went down, which went down Ted Bundy
3:27
and then Mark Harmon. So it opened up this whole can
3:30
of worms about serial killers and stuff.
3:31
It was fun, you know. Happy Thanksgiving.
3:33
Well, let's not let be that the copic of my episode, Chris.
3:36
No, no, no. We're gonna talk.
3:38
We're gonna so. We talk about all sorts of silly
3:40
shit. I'm.
3:41
Good with it, I'm good with it. So.
3:44
So tell the world who you are and what you're all about.
3:47
Yeah, absolutely. So my name is Troy Lee Campbell,
3:49
You know, born and raised in Southern California, spent a lot
3:53
of my days there, but now I've spent a majority of my days here
3:56
in Arizona. What?
3:57
Part of California. What Southern California in the
4:00
Empire? OK, grew up in Beaumont.
4:02
So it's off the 10 freeway. You just driving on the 10
4:04
freeway. Oh, hey, there it is.
4:06
And then you keep going. It's grown a little bit since
4:08
then, since we grew up there, but it's been, it was fun.
4:12
I enjoyed growing up in a small town, you know?
4:14
All that terrible weather you had to endure?
4:16
I know the weather was just miserable.
4:18
Actually, it was fantastic. And then, you know, graduated
4:21
from College in Southern California, grew up close to
4:23
home or went school close to home, didn't went to.
4:26
School for Troy. Government, yeah.
4:29
So I, you know, I walked into a yeah, so I walked into my skin
4:35
or into my advising office. I was playing football and we,
4:39
they brought all the new freshman football players in a
4:41
big room and like, hey, we're here to pick out your major and
4:44
pick out your classes. So I walked in and they're like,
4:46
So what do you want to major in? I said football.
4:48
They said, well, that's not an option.
4:51
So how about, you know, something that you're passionate
4:53
about is that I don't know. I've always told my parents I
4:55
want to be president of the United States forever.
4:57
And they're like, oh, perfect, there you go, government next.
5:01
And that's how I declared my major SO.
5:03
That's crazy. I didn't.
5:04
I didn't. I didn't know you played
5:05
football. What did you play?
5:07
I played defensive in my first year and I got hurt and stopped
5:10
playing so and then it shows. Student government is my
5:13
passion. And what college was that?
5:16
University of Redlands small D3 school so.
5:19
Count. Did you get a sound?
5:21
Up a little bit, Chris. My what?
5:24
Turn my amp up? He was talking to me.
5:26
Turn. Your turn your volume on your
5:28
mic up a little bit. Volume I'm all the way up is.
5:31
My volume on my mic. OK, Mic.
5:33
Oh yeah, dude, yeah, we're louder than him.
5:37
Who's yours actually? But yeah, but you'd be doing it
5:38
all. Do you still have that thing
5:40
plugged into that cloud lifter? I do.
5:44
That's crazy, man. Cloud Lifter Cloud lifter.
5:49
It's a cloud. It boost your signal 25
5:52
decibels. Oh.
5:54
Cloud Cloud. Looks fancy.
5:58
It's not the cloud, it's the cloud.
6:01
All right. It does.
6:02
I don't know, strange things, strange days.
6:04
So did you get a scholarship or did you just like walk on and
6:08
play football? Well, I, you know, I got a
6:10
scholarship to play football, but when I stopped playing
6:14
football, that academic scholarship that I received went
6:16
somewhere out the window, so. That's weird.
6:19
Because you know, Division Three they can't OfferUp football
6:23
scholarship for athletic scholarship they can offer
6:26
academic scholarships. So gotcha.
6:28
Maybe that's changed since I went to school, but Division 3
6:31
wasn't able to give athletic scholarships.
6:34
OK, so you have no desire to be president anymore?
6:38
Oh no, that's not, I'm not saying that's off the table.
6:40
I'm just saying I want to raise my family and I want my girls
6:42
to, you know, live in an environment where they're not
6:44
critique for walking down the street sideways so.
6:47
Right. And he does have two girls which
6:49
are, which are just the fun little little peeing little
6:51
humans. Yeah.
6:55
How old are the Troy now? I have an 11 year old and five
6:58
year old. You say hi to the running rag.
7:00
You don't have. You don't have to drop their
7:02
names if you don't want to, but you can say hi to your children.
7:04
Hey children, good to see you. Some people worry about dropping
7:09
names and stuff, but the cool thing what Troy does is he he,
7:12
as long as I've known him, he he he tags his girls on social
7:16
media, which I'm assuming then he has a page dedicated to them
7:20
on social media. So when they get older, they can
7:22
go back and look at all the things right?
7:24
Is that what you're? Well, that's.
7:25
The plan, that's the hope, you know, I want them to kind of
7:27
relive their memories through pictures.
7:30
Some people will get weirded out by that.
7:33
I'll be honest. Some people have some opinions
7:34
about that and that's. OK, No, I think that's really
7:37
cool if that's the reason that you're doing it, so that in the
7:40
future they'll have all these cool memories to go back and
7:42
look at dad and you know. That's what I thought.
7:45
They'll see their progression growing up.
7:47
That's awesome. Yeah, I took a picture of each
7:49
one of them every day of their life from day one.
7:51
Well, sorry, in the first year of life, day one, day 365.
7:55
So I have that chronicled each day from when they were born to
8:00
their first birthday, and then after that it was weekly and
8:03
then after that it was monthly and then now it just kind of
8:04
screw out it. I think that's really cool, man.
8:07
Yeah, I did that with little I I did that with little man.
8:10
I had a countdown, a little countdown board.
8:12
So it started 365 days till I was 1.
8:15
And then so the whole his entire first year of life, there were
8:17
some misses because Skylar would would go visit June, you know,
8:21
for a week. And so I'd miss a couple days
8:22
here. And therefore, but but for the
8:23
most part, and then I put it all up in a video, a time lapse
8:26
video. And it's just, you watch them
8:28
morph, you know, it's pretty neat.
8:29
That is really cool so. Cool.
8:31
Yeah, I didn't do with Trip because I don't have Trip every
8:33
day like I have Anthony, but you know, it was, it's cool.
8:36
It's cool watching them grow especially I see everything I do
8:39
with them is in Dropbox. So I have Dropbox folders.
8:42
So as any like every day, they're over here to take
8:44
pictures, upload Dropbox with the date.
8:46
So I have I have all their lives digitally stored as well.
8:49
So Dropbox. Will be around for a while too,
8:51
you know that? Yeah.
8:52
Yeah, yeah. So.
8:55
So the fact that you played football, it probably, you know,
8:59
is why you're such a passionate football player.
9:01
And you must be super excited because the the Cowboys actually
9:03
won two games in a row. Wow.
9:06
This is unheard, Mason. They won.
9:08
This is serious money yesterday, so thank you I truly.
9:11
Think the reason you all invited me on the show was because the
9:13
Cowboys actually won a game and let alone two games 2, two in a
9:17
row against the defending Super Bowl participant and champs and
9:23
participant and. Against my better judgment, I
9:25
actually bet on them two games in a row and I'm very happy with
9:29
the results. So well, Mike.
9:30
I need you to keep doing that. That's the special sauce here,
9:32
normally. That doesn't work for me.
9:35
Hey, it. Works for me.
9:36
I don't care. Keep it up please.
9:37
I just. Had a feeling yesterday that
9:40
after that performance against the Eagles, like they're on a
9:42
roll man, I just, I don't see well.
9:44
Let's let's I don't see. Him losing to Kansas City let's.
9:47
Talk about the Eagles game real quickly, because in the fourth
9:50
quarter there was there was a punt in the fourth quarter that
9:53
they said hit the scoreboard and it clearly did not hit the
9:57
scoreboard. Yeah.
9:58
What was that all well? So yeah, I, I.
10:01
Chosen to forget that I'm having collective amnesia here.
10:04
I'm not sure what you're talking about, so we can go to the next
10:07
topic, OK? So moving around let's but but
10:10
so that changed that. See those little no, I mean,
10:12
it's, it's legit. I mean it's and it's not just
10:14
the Cowboys, man. There's there's stuff in the
10:17
there's there's stuff all over the place that you can you can
10:20
lay Daniel Jones out and he's on the ground for two minutes and
10:22
you barely get a finger on Mahomes and you throw a flag.
10:25
It's like it's. Unreal they.
10:27
Really need to like get rid of all the current referees and
10:30
bring some new ones up because there's so much, I think, and
10:33
you may or may not agree, there's so much.
10:34
There's some level of corruption going on with the NFL
10:37
officiating right now. Mike notices it from gambling
10:40
and he's not, you know, well. I think that's why they're
10:43
pushing the gambling so much, right?
10:44
They're trying to get what the market's doing or what the
10:47
market's predicting. So that way they can kind of
10:48
manipulate the market, manipulate the money going in
10:50
and going out type thing. Which is bullshit.
10:54
Which is absolute bullshit, right?
10:56
Because back in the day, if you gambled on sports, what happens?
11:00
Pete Rose get kicked out, right? And remember the ASU.
11:03
I don't know if you remember this, there was the ASU
11:05
basketball player that got all tied into gambling and was point
11:08
shaving years and years. I don't come.
11:09
To that at all I. Forget his name, you just said
11:12
it, but I totally remember that now, yeah.
11:14
Yeah, he got. Was that in the?
11:15
90s. Something and he was a really
11:18
good, He was a good prospect too, let me say.
11:19
Yeah, he was. Supposed to be like the number
11:21
one NBA prospect that year. Really.
11:24
Yeah, I can't I I would have totally not been able to
11:27
remember that on my own. But now that he brings that up,
11:29
I I remember this story and he was an.
11:31
ASU guy, huh? Yeah.
11:33
Hold on. I'm pulling it up.
11:34
I'm pulling it up. Let's see where it is.
11:40
So how many games did you get to play before you got hurt?
11:43
Troy while he's looking. Absolutely none.
11:45
Zero. Really.
11:47
My poor nephew went through the same thing.
11:49
He never got to play live in a game.
11:51
He got hurt before the season started.
11:53
Unfortunately I got. Hurt and camped my knee.
11:55
That's what happened. Well, he broke his leg in two
11:58
places. Oh my yeah.
12:02
So I. Can't really claim I'm a
12:03
football player. I went to play football.
12:05
But you know, no, you play, you just never.
12:07
Got to play in a game unfortunately.
12:09
Exactly, exactly. I saw a.
12:12
Hell of a time camp. Was a lot of fun.
12:14
Oh. I dude, I can't imagine Tory not
12:16
having a hell of a time. Troy would have a hell of a time
12:19
and an insurance seminar where everybody was 97 years old and
12:22
dying. This hey, I got to keep on my
12:26
toes. Yeah, this is the guy 25 years
12:28
ago, 2018. Yep.
12:31
There is, yeah. Stevie Hideki Smith turned into
12:36
a campus bookie who who's just fixing the game.
12:40
So that's him, that and and. Obviously I was still living in
12:43
Arizona then. That's why I remember that it
12:45
was all over the news. Yeah.
12:47
Yeah, yeah. But that's the guy.
12:49
And it was, it was legit. Like there's AI want to say
12:53
there's a movie about him somewhere, a movie about it.
12:57
Really. Yeah.
13:00
Yeah, let me jump back on the way you guys are talking.
13:02
But yeah, I I believe there's a movie about it.
13:04
Yeah. What's it called?
13:07
But so, so recently, right there was a guy that in the NBA that
13:10
got suspended because they've they Chauncey Phillips or.
13:13
Whatever it was, well, we talked about.
13:15
Somebody recently too like in the last time about.
13:18
Those two referees, one of them went to prison.
13:20
Two. Yeah, 1.
13:21
Referee. Yeah, yeah.
13:22
One went to prison for sure. I can't.
13:25
Remember that guy's name? But I can see his face, yeah.
13:27
I never knew about that. That was a story that I heard
13:30
about on Rogan, and then I researched it myself.
13:32
I was like, are you serious? Somebody actually got busted,
13:35
legally or illegally? It was.
13:38
The IT was the one that was. Go ahead.
13:40
Go ahead, Troy. Oh no, I was going to say, did
13:42
you know that I was also high school football official for a
13:44
little bit? No, I did not.
13:48
Just. Recently. 2021, I think the
13:52
season 2021, yeah, OK. So let me ask you this because I
13:56
coached, I coached Jake and Sky right as they're coming up.
13:59
So absolutely referees I didn't always see.
14:05
I no, no referees and I didn't always see eye to eye.
14:07
I was always, I was always respectful as much as I could
14:10
be. So being a referee with with
14:13
parents on the sideline and coaches, how did you ever have
14:16
to deal with that nonsense? Absolutely.
14:19
That's why I wanted to bring it up because it was hilarious.
14:22
There was one game in particular.
14:23
Well, two games in particular. I'm saying one game in
14:26
particular. You know, I'm getting done with
14:28
this game. And mind you, it was freshman
14:30
football, so it wasn't varsity. There's no stakes in the green.
14:34
We're finished the game and they told us in our training, as soon
14:37
as you get done with the game, you have to leave the field.
14:39
You don't hang around, you don't deal with hecklers.
14:42
So I and I didn't pack my full set of keys.
14:44
All I brought was my key, actual key, not my remote or anything.
14:48
So usually I have my remote when I can't find my car, I push, you
14:51
know, beep, beep, beep, beep. There's my car.
14:53
Exactly. So I just brought my key and I
14:55
was running around the parking lot looking for it and I heard
14:57
this guy from the stands go hey, Rath can't find your car.
15:01
Like you couldn't find your flag.
15:03
They've been holding us all. Game.
15:07
And I said what he's like, you can't find the car, you can't
15:10
find your flag. And he was letting me have it,
15:13
man. He was ripping in to me about
15:14
how I couldn't find my car because he couldn't find my
15:16
flag. They were holding his son all
15:18
game. And he was just making sure that
15:19
I knew that was your. Did you just start getting
15:23
anxious? Did you start like your heart
15:24
racing? Like, oh boy, no.
15:26
OK, that's good. Did you ever have any?
15:27
The one. Time I get anxious, hostile with
15:30
you. Yeah.
15:31
So there's one time in particular.
15:32
This was my my mistake. I totally screwed this up.
15:35
It was on a kickoff and they always told us be careful of
15:38
inadvertent whistles, like whistles that you don't, that
15:40
you shouldn't blow. So anyways, they kick it off and
15:43
I'm on the receiving team. I'm on the receiving team's
15:46
side, and he picks it up and then drops it and then fumbles
15:51
it on the ground. And so I blow my whistle.
15:52
Like, what the hell. Like not thinking the play
15:54
wasn't dead. He picks it up and he keeps
15:57
going like he's running the other teams just stops, like
16:00
looks around and because I blew my whistle, so they stopped
16:02
playing and then he took off. He ran into the house.
16:05
One coach was pissed at me because he ran into the house.
16:07
One of that touchdown better team was like, hey, my parents
16:10
heard the whistle, they stopped, they played the whistle and the
16:13
coaches were both at me. Just what'd you do that for?
16:15
What'd you do that? And I was like so.
16:19
I think I kind of know, Troy, but for those at home, what do
16:23
you do in a situation like that? Because maybe I don't know.
16:26
So in that situation, I just worked with the coaches and I
16:28
said, can we all agree that we just need to recap like that was
16:31
my mistake. I owed my mistake a do over.
16:34
Let's see how this goes. And the kid ended up getting a
16:37
decent run back like he probably got to the 3540.
16:40
I think at that point post coaches were still upset because
16:43
one one of their touchdown and one one of the ball back there.
16:46
But I think they got over it as the game went on.
16:49
But I was I was a mess the rest of the game.
16:51
I had to get my head. I was rattled.
16:52
So. So why did you blow the whistle?
16:55
It was a mistake. It was, he wasn't.
16:56
It was a mental just blank. Like I saw the ball on the
16:59
ground. I was like, oh, game plays over.
17:01
Not like an incomplete pass in my head.
17:03
I think that's what I was thinking.
17:04
He was thinking. When he fumble it again that
17:06
that play was over. But really, that's still a live
17:09
ball. He just and he knew it right
17:10
after he blew the whistle. Oh yeah, shit, right.
17:14
Oh, yeah, my white hat as they described the white hat's the
17:17
official, you know, the, the head official and the, the guy
17:19
on the field, he came over to me and he's like, listen, Troy, if
17:23
we ever have to do that again, you're going to be taking those,
17:26
those, those stripes off your back.
17:27
And I was like, oh, this is serious.
17:30
And then afterwards he said he got his, he let his emotions get
17:32
the best of him because he was in the heat of the moment and he
17:35
shouldn't have said that. That was very rude.
17:37
You're. Not going to even be coaching
17:38
pee wee football within 60 miles I hear my friend.
17:42
My friend, you're going to be going out into the football
17:44
hound. Yeah, so that was a rough game.
17:47
That was a rough mistake. And they told us in training,
17:49
like you have to be aware of your whistle and it's in your
17:52
mouth. So like when you're breathing,
17:54
you have to be careful, like all the things you know.
17:56
And then pandemic, we have little button whistle little.
17:59
Really. Whistle maker because they
18:01
didn't want us putting the whistle in the outside of our
18:02
mouth. So we have a little whistle.
18:05
But, you know, personal, it's not ridiculous things.
18:08
You don't just. You just.
18:10
Didn't go to the football field and have a box of whistles and
18:12
say, oh, I'm going to put this one in my mouth.
18:14
No, I actually gave it to each player to blow first, make sure
18:17
this works and then put in my mouth.
18:18
That's why I want to see if we try to.
18:20
That's stupid. Like a whistle.
18:22
Like a foghorn. That would be better.
18:26
A foghorn. Little personal foghorns instead
18:28
of whistles. And that's what they use in.
18:30
Basketball games. That's crazy though.
18:33
Yeah. Is that that whistle is made by
18:35
the same company that actually makes whistles.
18:36
That was their. That was their We also have
18:40
masks on. Yeah, we had.
18:42
Masks on, that's. Couldn't blow the whistles to
18:44
the masks, but really, why don't you?
18:47
Just have to cut a cut a hole in the mask and put the whistle
18:49
through the hole. That's what I'm not as smart as.
18:52
Chris Donovan. So again, I want to talk about
18:58
this too, because this was epic. So.
19:00
So Troy's a Cowboys fan and I'm a Giants fan, and we've known
19:02
that since probably since the first or second time we met each
19:04
other. Yeah.
19:05
I almost fired him to be my realtor once I found out he was
19:07
Giants fan. Actually right it was.
19:10
He was just such a good guy, such a lovable guy.
19:11
I couldn't, I couldn't help it. My wife, everybody.
19:14
Has their fault, Troy. Everybody has their.
19:16
Fault, I know. Well, it's like Nikki says, you
19:18
either love or hate me. There's no in between.
19:20
So but but we love. You, buddy, we love you.
19:23
We love you. But we do.
19:25
I forget what I forget when it was, but tell the tell the
19:28
Beckham story. Yeah, so the the Pro Bowl came
19:32
to Arizona. When did the Pro Bowl come to
19:35
Arizona? I can look it up to you.
19:39
So Pro Bowl came to Arizona before the Super Bowl.
19:47
Let's see 22,000. No, not 2515, 2015.
19:53
There we go. So the Pro Bowl came to Arizona
19:56
and we were living in Arizona or in Flagstaff up at the time and
20:00
had a buddy that worked for some agency that was working with the
20:03
Pro Bowl or something. I'm not really sure how his
20:05
connection was, but he's like, hey, you wanna go down the hill
20:07
and go to a Pro Bowl game? And I was like.
20:09
Well, how much are these tickets?
20:10
Like I got to get approval with my wife.
20:12
He's like, no man, I got free tickets and I was like, that's
20:15
ridiculous. OK, So we drove down the hill to
20:17
a Pro Bowl game, went to the stadium, showed up and you know,
20:20
the the Pro bowlers were on the field warming up, doing their
20:23
thing. And Odell Beckham junior, you
20:26
know, the ones in miracle catch back in the day that just
20:28
celebrated their 10 year anniversary thing or 12 year
20:31
anniversary against the Cowboys. He's running off the field and
20:34
everyone's like, hey. Hold.
20:36
Out and he just throws his his practice glove up in the stands
20:39
and I'm like, I got it. Yeah, there it is.
20:42
That that effing catch right there.
20:44
Awesome. No, it's not awesome.
20:47
I hate it. So he threw.
20:51
His glove up in the stands and I grabbed it and I was like, oh
20:54
Dang. And I had guys up at the stadium
20:56
coming up to me. Hey, I'll give you 50 bucks for
20:58
that. I'll give you 100 bucks for
20:59
that. I'll give you 200 bucks for
21:00
that. And I wish I would have done
21:02
that, to be honest. But I think it went to a better
21:04
cause. I think it went to Chris and
21:05
Jake. Yeah.
21:07
And I was to it forever because I didn't, I didn't like the
21:12
Giants, but I didn't want to sell it.
21:13
I was like, I'm going to find a Giants fan that I like.
21:15
And then one day I was just, you know, looking at it and I was
21:18
like, I like Chris, but do I like Chris that much?
21:21
No, I like Jake that much. I like Jake that much.
21:24
So I called Chris and said, hey, I think Jake might want this
21:26
glove. So, you know, Jake's an overall
21:28
badass serving in the military. So yes, I I had to give it up.
21:33
Yeah, Yeah, he still has it. And I think it's still worthy.
21:35
Cost frequent guest on the. Chris and Mike show too.
21:38
OK, perfect. I didn't.
21:39
Know to share his business around.
21:43
Yeah, yeah. And I got that that that's a
21:45
that was it was 2020 year anniversary.
21:47
I think of that was it. 20th anniversary.
21:50
I thought he just celebrated something, but it was 10 years
21:53
ago that caught the glove, so that's crazy.
21:54
Yeah, yeah. He.
21:56
Just got he just got he just got reinstated too.
22:00
I don't know why he was uninstated, but he just got
22:02
reinstated to the NFL. I'm not sure why I don't.
22:05
Know how you get? Yeah, unless he had PEDs or
22:08
something, I don't know. But so, yeah.
22:11
So that was awesome because you know, that's one of those things
22:13
that when he did, I was like, really like you've really given
22:15
me his glove because, you know, I knew what a die hard Cowboys
22:20
fan he was, you know, So you guys being Cowboys fan, what are
22:25
you? What's your record now?
22:27
Is it 5:00 and 5:00 and? 65 and 6.
22:30
Five and 165 and one, yeah, I really don't like that little
22:33
one on the end. It really bothers me.
22:35
No, but that's. The one thing that makes
22:36
football? Stupid.
22:38
The fact that any game can end in a tie.
22:40
Tie well. What do that Mike yeah 1 and the
22:44
Chiefs are now what are they 56565 and. 5:00 and 6:00 Well,
22:48
here's why I'm. Stupid because in college
22:51
football you can't end in a tie, right?
22:54
You just. I think you can in high school.
22:56
It's weird I think high school can, college can't, and the bro
22:59
pros can. Don't quote me on the high
23:01
school, but I know for sure you cannot in college because the
23:04
University of Illinois a few years back had like 18 overtime
23:09
periods but you remember that. I don't remember who they were.
23:13
Playing might have been Northwestern, but yeah, they had
23:17
18 overtime period, so that can't end in a tie.
23:20
No, that's. Insane.
23:22
I just don't like that. I do.
23:23
I do. Like now I but I do like now how
23:26
how like if the Cowboys and Giants are playing OK and then
23:29
it goes overtime, so then the Cowboys go down the field and
23:32
score a touchdown, then the Giants are allowed to try to go
23:34
down the field and score a touchdown where they made.
23:37
Yeah, I thought it was the first touchdown wins.
23:40
No, it used to be the. Update.
23:42
They they. This, this year, this year, I
23:44
think it was the first year with that, right?
23:46
Well, it was last year. For sure.
23:47
Was it last year? Yeah, so.
23:48
There's no sudden death, so both teams have the opportunity to
23:51
match each other's scores. So if the if the Cowboys went
23:54
down and scored a touchdown, the Giants went down and scored a
23:56
touchdown, then I believe it's the next score.
23:57
Wins or defensive turnover. Got it.
24:01
Right. Right.
24:02
So yeah, it's yeah, it's interesting.
24:04
Because my philosophy on why there's no.
24:07
There's a lot to be a tie in. NF LS because of the money, they
24:10
don't want to miss out on the next games money even though
24:13
they should just like stop televising it instead of drool
24:15
out. But they don't want to lose that
24:16
money, you know? You know, I never thought about
24:18
that. I think you might be on to
24:20
something there for sure. Yeah, well, and.
24:22
Mike, you said something earlier this year that that there was a
24:27
weekend with like two or three ties or something or two ties or
24:30
something in the NFL. And if you had bet on those, if
24:33
you bet on the probability of ties, that the money line was
24:36
crazy, Yeah, it would. Astronomical money, Yeah,
24:40
because the. Odds of that?
24:41
Yeah, the odds of that, like Jake had a friend who bet $10 on
24:46
on, I forget what game he said, but if he would have won, it
24:49
would have won like $34,000 because it was that much of an
24:51
underdog thing. And then and they didn't, it was
24:54
like the last, I mean, it was only 10 bucks.
24:55
Like I'm playing. I started fandueling.
24:58
I don't know what, I don't know what, maybe a month ago.
25:00
So I've been playing on that one.
25:02
Yeah. So I've been playing on that one
25:03
money. I haven't even touched my
25:05
original 100 bucks yet because you win your first spend on fan
25:08
bull, you get this $300 bonus, but you can't cash out.
25:12
You have to use it. You have to, you have to use
25:14
that money to bet. But it's still it's, but it's
25:16
free money, right? So and when you win, when you
25:19
win with the free money, you get that money.
25:22
You just don't get the $10.00. So, so if a $10 bet got me a $25
25:26
win, I wouldn't get $35.00 because they don't recoup that
25:29
10. I get 25 back.
25:30
So you know, last night I'm not my.
25:35
My nephew's all in about parlays and ready and I just can't get
25:38
into it. I'm not good at the parlay.
25:40
Part of it, but I am good at just making single spread bets
25:46
and like Chris has been doing a lot of prop bets.
25:49
I do, I do a lot of those two where somebody's going to throw
25:53
for more than 250 yards, right? Yeah, interesting.
25:57
I like making those single bets like that.
25:59
One of my claims to fame, Troy, is since 2016, I have never lost
26:04
a dollar of my own money gambling on sports.
26:07
I actually refinished the whole I built the studio here, did all
26:12
the floors on 1/2 of my house. That's all from sports betting.
26:15
Seriously. Yeah, See.
26:17
That's incredible. All you got to do is go on
26:20
sports. Center man, and they give you
26:21
little tips. And then like on the MLB
26:25
Network, there's this girl named Ariel Epstein.
26:28
She does like these pitcher props.
26:30
She's like 70% accurate. So if you just know what she
26:33
says every day, what's her name? Ariel Epstein.
26:36
So when baseball season comes around, make sure you watch her.
26:40
She calls it the Diamond K Play of the Day.
26:44
So I record it. On my YouTube TV, right?
26:47
And then I just Fast forward to that section, figure out what
26:50
she's going to bet for the day, stick it in my bet slip.
26:52
And last year she was 70% accurate.
26:55
The prop. Queen.
26:57
There you go. The prop.
26:58
That's what the problem. Queen.
26:59
OK, yeah, I just found her. That's cool.
27:02
Interesting. And she is the prop.
27:06
Queen Yeah, I'll share it. I'll share it for the viewers
27:08
that when I get into gambling, we don't condone gambling boys
27:10
and girls. OK, no, but if you're over. 18
27:14
and you got some extra income. There you go.
27:17
There you go. So there is Ariel God and she's.
27:22
Cute on top of it. I've never heard anything.
27:27
No. No.
27:29
So yeah, all kinds of stuff. There she is.
27:31
The prop queen. Interesting.
27:34
Yeah. Kind of like that movie with Al
27:36
Pacino and Matthew McConaughey too, for the money, right?
27:38
But she's just a chick. OK, yeah, I can't promise.
27:42
That I would listen to anyone else on my betting, but that's
27:45
just me. I don't know.
27:46
I I like my money too much. I don't want to give it away to
27:48
no where does it. Go when?
27:50
Where? Does it go when you lose?
27:51
Like that's my question. It goes to your betting.
27:53
Kings to the mob. Oh.
27:55
OK, Yeah, it. Goes to.
27:57
I don't have a college. Kid, it literally goes to two
28:00
college kids who had a dream that they could play fantasy
28:03
sports with their friends after college who were going going to
28:07
spread out to different parts of the country.
28:08
Right. Right.
28:10
They never intended for it to be a gambling app.
28:13
They wanted to be able to play fantasy sports.
28:15
What? Yeah.
28:16
There's a documentary. I wish I'd could remember where
28:19
it's at, but it was fascinating because these guys became
28:22
inadvertent billionaires. Is it draft?
28:24
Drones, though, Yeah. They developed DraftKings.
28:27
Yeah, True story. Wow.
28:29
And then? Right.
28:30
After they developed DraftKings, but online sports betting became
28:35
started becoming legal state by state and you know, light bulb
28:38
went off over the top of their head.
28:39
Yeah. Hey, here's.
28:41
A money making idea yeah that's true story I just.
28:46
Found just you don't need to look it up Troy, because I just
28:49
found it on the Chris and Mike show.
28:50
We're sharing the screen right now.
28:51
This the DraftKings story found in Boston 2012.
28:54
Our three founders set out to create the best in class daily
28:57
fantasy sports product focusing on customer service excellence.
29:01
Some years later, we now boast a suite of products that millions
29:04
of customers engage with every day.
29:07
Wow. But it all started.
29:09
With their wanting to keep in touch with their friends and be
29:12
able to play fantasy sports online.
29:15
Same concept. As Zuckerberg with Facebook, you
29:18
know, yeah, he wanted a way to be able to communicate over the
29:23
Internet with his buddies. Yeah, exactly.
29:26
Well. Zuckerberg also kind of stole
29:29
the idea well. Chris, that is.
29:32
Up for that is up for discussion.
29:34
I'm not sure. Well, no, I don't have.
29:35
AI don't have AI don't have a problem with him doing what he
29:37
did because hey, it's it's you know, it's think about it for
29:41
saying. Allegedly, Troy, so we don't get
29:43
sued. Oh yeah, my bad.
29:45
But but think about it like like anything in the world.
29:50
Why is the screen not going back to normal?
29:51
I stopped sharing there. You go it's, I mean, I mean
29:58
think. About it though, you you, I
29:59
mean, like Jeff Bezos isn't the first person that thought about
30:01
online shopping, right? He was just the one that
30:03
executed, right Elon Musk wasn't the first one probably thought
30:08
about PayPal. He was the one that executed it,
30:10
right? Yeah.
30:11
But somebody's got to be there. Got.
30:13
You true? Oh yeah.
30:15
Right, right. Somebody's got to be there to
30:16
execute the idea. Yeah.
30:18
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's no.
30:20
Different than what we're doing here.
30:21
I had. So what's our idea?
30:22
I. Was afraid to do it by myself.
30:24
Right. So you help me bring it to
30:25
fruition. I I can't say that I did this by
30:28
myself because I didn't. No, no.
30:30
You. I don't, I don't think any.
30:31
Of those people are claiming to, That's what pisses me off about
30:34
like them saying Led Zeppelin ripped off Stairway to Heaven.
30:38
If you listen to the original, yeah.
30:41
Go, go look. Up this debate because OK, OK.
30:45
Interesting the the original. Is very close, but close only
30:50
counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, right?
30:53
And darts and darts so and pull. And pull.
30:59
Yeah, OK. Stop you.
31:02
Guys are you guys are killing me?
31:08
And almost burning. And almost drowning And archery.
31:13
You know, Archer and I could go on for days.
31:15
Troy. See, this is my love story.
31:17
That's our next. That's our next topic.
31:20
He's got my. Crazy brain that you just.
31:22
He assured me I was going. To love you.
31:24
And he was right. Yeah.
31:26
OK, good. Good.
31:29
Yeah, so here it is, the iconic band, rock band we're accused of
31:33
stealing the songs, opening a riff from a song called Taurus
31:36
by US psych rocker Spirit, recorded three years before
31:40
release of the album Led Zeppelin 4, which came the rock
31:42
behemoth. Behemoth, behemoth, behemoth.
31:47
Oh, so is this. The is this oh, here's the
31:48
here's the controversy. Let's see what happens here is
31:50
this am I sharing this? OK it.
31:53
Is close. Where's the Where's the volume?
31:57
There it is. Oh, whoa, whoa.
31:59
That's loud. Oh, come on.
32:08
Oh, stop. OK, I know that's so.
32:10
Frustrating your fuck ton. Is a standard unit of
32:13
measurement for amount. Hey, that's us.
32:15
Your. Fuck ton is that?
32:16
25 shit loads. A shit load is equal to 25 ass
32:20
loads, and an ass load is equal to 20 to 50 something else.
32:24
So I don't think you have it now.
32:26
Why we're on TON? Why are we talking?
32:28
How much is an ass ton? You may ask?
32:30
Well, ass ton is 1000 units of ass.
32:34
Weights vary from. Cheek to cheek, so a proper
32:36
conversion similarly cannot be made.
32:39
A shit ton is more easily converted as it refers to
32:41
exactly 1 imperial ton of shit. One shit ton is exactly .0907185
32:47
metric. Why is this top?
32:48
Right here? Probably not. 1st but we're all
32:51
about engaging and educating so we hope you engaged you into the
32:54
shit ton fuck ton ass ton. Oh my goodness, that's so funny.
33:00
Most listen to real across any social media platform, really.
33:04
It's funny. It's funny that.
33:05
That just popped up like randomly dude, and it's been.
33:08
Shared here it's been saved 11 times.
33:10
Thank you for whoever got that much of A kill we we got.
33:13
On some weird topic dude where where I forget how it even came
33:16
up but then I just looked it up and then we said something.
33:19
Like, that's a, that's a fuck ton.
33:22

So as as per usual, this is a Christian Mike show.
34:11
If you're feeling sad, depressed, suicidal, don't do
34:14
it. Go journal, go run, go scream in
34:16
a pillow, go workout, go find somebody to talk to.
34:18
If you can't find somebody to talk to, text 988.
34:21
They are standing by to help talk you off that Cliff.
34:23
Help change your mindset. You don't want to be that person
34:25
that leaves a hole in somebody's heart because you don't wake up
34:27
tomorrow because after all, tomorrow is better because
34:29
you're in it. So for Chris, Mike had a really
34:32
