  Speaker 1: haven't talked the longest, and what seven months? So probably? Yeah,

  Speaker 1: dive into anything else, you know what I want to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: do before we get even deeper. Speaking of diving. In
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: last week, our listeners heard us talk about game Time
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the fastest growing ticketing gap in the United States. It's true.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I use game Time a lot. I've bought tickets on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it several times. If you're looking to get to in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the NBA or NHL game this week, or even a concert.
• 3:42

• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all of these events. I'm going to open game Time

  Speaker 1: Yeah brother, you know what I think. One time you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and I went to a Phillies game over the summer
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and I bought the tickets on game Time. There you go,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: great seats. Listen. We're now, you know, ten days removed
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: from the Super Bowl. It's amazing how quickly the conversation
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: turns to DK Metcalf and whether or not that was
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a legit leap, and if he deserves to be red tested,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or where Aaron Rodgers is going to go, or how
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Eric the Enemy is getting shafted because he's taking over
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator for the Commanders and the two coordinators
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: who lost in the Super Bowl are getting head coaching jobs,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: which just seem just completely fucking absurd. Did you see
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the video of Jonathan Gannon giving his speech meeting players
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on the team, a compilation video that has been all
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: over the internet the past twenty four hours from your
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: former defensive coordinator. Yeah, he's corny as hell, But I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: mean if he is what he is and the guys
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: know it, I respect it. Like I'm one of those people.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I'm all about just being who you are. So if
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: he's corny as shit and that's what he is, he's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: just on big old nerd, I'm about it, Like I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't care if this guy can give me the best
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Ray Ross speech, if he's the numbers guy and he
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: can figure out how to make me better as a player,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. But if he's this real tight
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ass nerd who sucks to a coaching that dude is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a dead man walking. He will not make it a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: year because he'll lose that locker room quick. If they're bad,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it's over because that guy does not have their personality.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So definitely one of those where you know, these owners,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they meet these guys, they interview them, and I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: think they can think to themselves, how is this guy
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: going to relate to a couple of twenty two twenty
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: three year olds. So again, not trying to judge too hard.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I hated Doug Peterson when the Eagles hired him, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I hated Sirianni when the Eagles hired him. Both those
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: coaches got my team to a Super Bowl. So not
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: gonna judge off for first first meeting, you know, but
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: holy shit, was that guy corny? So I thought it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was interesting. The reason I bring it up isn't just
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a hate and sort of be cynical and make fun
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is because something he said was why did I take
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this job? Because not many franchises have a franchise quarterback
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and he believes obviously the Kyler Murray is that franchise quarterback,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and he's putting himself in a position to succeed by
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: aligning himself with a franchise quarterback as talented as Kyler Murray.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: If you share him sent him in people. They have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the worse odds right now to win the NFC. Yeah, Cardinals,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: they do. They totally do. And nobody, by the way,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: nobody is buying in to the Cardinals as a team
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that can be one of those worst first teams right
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: in the same way we loved Dog Peterson taking over
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Jazz with Trevor Lawrence. Nobody is feeling that way
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray and Arizona Cardinals because I think people
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: are still a little bit skeptical about Kyler Murray because
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he's amazing in the first part of the year. You'd
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: seen him with Cliff Kingsbury fading in the second half
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of the year, not being the greatest leader on the field.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of people who are wondering,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: is this guy actually the franchise quarterback? Right now? Their
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: odds to win the NFCC they are plus nine thousand. Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I've talked to I talked to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of pros, and these pros are literally the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: guys that they're the only other ones betting the Jaguars
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: would be last year. Like these guys are like me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: They love being in the mud. Bett and the gros
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: shit that no one wants to touch. We all said
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the same exact thing to each other. Is this kid,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons had all the talent in the world.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: He doesn't love basketball. Ben Simmons loves fame. And that's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm worried about. Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray, he loves
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to play video games. He played sports. I mean, he's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest athletes ever. He could have easily
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: played MLB or done football. We all know Kyler Murray's story.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: How much is he loved football? And that's my biggest
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: word with Kyler because you know, we all want people
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to have their own lives outside of football, right, we
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: all want that. If we think of any quarterback over
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the last twenty years, the ones that succeed, they're the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: guys that are obsessed with it. They're the literally the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: guys that live and breathe it like they got the talent, right,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: we all know they all have the talent. How much
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: do you want it? Like? How much do you love it?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Like my favorite thing I really hurts. Hurts lost the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: super Bowl they flew in. He didn't give himself a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: day off. The next day he was in their gym
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: but lifting. So you need to be that kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: weird psycho to succeed in this league. And I don't
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: think Kyler is that guy. Like he likes video games,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: he likes other things. So as someone that coming out
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of college, I was all in on Kyler. I thought
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he was gonna be the new wave of quarterback, right,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this small body, fast runner that has an arm. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: really thought Kyler was gonna be that next guy. So
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: not here to write him off, but I feel like
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: anyone could be an agreement. Right now. It's like, does
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this kid love football or do you just love being famous?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And you know he already got the bag, he's got
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the money. He can just go do his video game
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: thing the rest of his life now, be a twitch
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: stream or do whatever. So I get where he's coming from,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: right Like the Eagles, they offered him more money to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: stay as our DC and he turned it down. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: think for what Chad just talked about, it's like, you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can get one of these two well of guys, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: can have a job for the next ten years if
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you do it right. So I'm right there with you chat.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I think I'm not trying to shit on the guy,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: but I get exactly where he's coming from. It's like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you know, there's only thirty two of these jobs. He's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: an opportunity. He might as well take it. It's interesting
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: when you talk about this new wave. You could say,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot about Justin Fields, and some
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of the questions are about the draft, so I don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: want to yeah, I don't want to get too far ahead.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But Justin Field did say something interesting. He was complaining
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: about the cold in Chicago, and all these conversations right
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: now are about Justin Fields and should the Bears trade them,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: should they take the number one pick. I am all
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: in on Justin Fields, but I will tell you hearing
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields talk about the cold in Chicago made me say, oh,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you hate it too, though you didn't want to go
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to the game because it was too cold, I hate
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it too. I don't have to play quarterback in it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to play quarterback for the Chicago Bears. You've
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: got to own the cold. You've got to believe it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: your advantage. You've got to know that you're tougher than
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: everybody else and that you will thrive in the cold,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and that is how you are going to win the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: game because somebody else isn't tough enough to do it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, though, your coldest game of the year
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: against that Eagles team. He got hurt, he came back,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: he drove us down the field and got us that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: backdoor cover. So once again, I'm all good with fields
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the cold. My man can talk it, but he
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: actually does it, like he played in that cold after
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: an injury in a meaningless game, but still out there
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: swinging in that fourth quarter. So once again, that's the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: kind of thing I want to see, Like, I love
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that hunger and passion, Like that's the kind of stuff
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I live for. So, yeah, we have a lot to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: talk about about the draft coming up, so I won't
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: burn it here. But man, it is going to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a very fun, exciting offseason. We're about to talking about
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: these quarterbacks here. It's not like this. It's usually not
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: like this. It's usually not so much QB drama in
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the off season like this. So here's how I want
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to frame this question. Because someone sent into question, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: can we just talk about the QB is on the move?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Here's how I want to frame it the best way
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: from a betting perspective. Do you think about this is
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: where do we think a quarterback is going to land?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And do we like their odds now enough to bet
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: on their odds being at the longest based on what
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we think this is going to how the quarterback scenario
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is going to play out? So, you know, do we
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: think David Carr is going to go to the Jets?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And if that's the case, do we think that there's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: good value on the Jets right now at twenty eight
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to one at FanDuel right now? Actually the Jets are yeah,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to one. Do we think that's good? Do
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: we think it's not like, let's play that scenario with
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: David Carr. Stop on the David Carr. It's Derek I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: mean tak Carr because by the way, you love Hugh
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: by the way, By the way, the number of times
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: over the course of the season where you get a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: name wrong or call a guy by the wrong name.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know their names. I'm dyslexic, but I can
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: get Derek Carr right now. If you're asking me to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: pronounce Jannis entered koopo. That's another story, but Jannis entered tokopo. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: but I can do. Derek Carr and David carr Um,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I love it. I mean my I'm one of those
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: people were like, we're gonna talk about a couple of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: teams here, I would say the most bet team by
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: pros that they literally are just betting it on pure whatever,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: like they're just throwing money into it because it's like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it's the NFC is the Panthers, Tampa and the Saints.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: They're three teams that don't have a quarterback. I know
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a bunch of pros are just betting them just because
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: they're in the NFC. And I mean me, Chack can
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: do this right now if he wants. Who do you
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: think chat are the best three quarterbacks NFC right now?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So imagine Aaron Rodgers leaves, Yeah, like he goes to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the Jets or the Raiders. That's an interesting question, right,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And it's tough and like I had to pro ask
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: me that same exact thing. And I'm trying not be
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a homer because in my mind, the first persons, yeah,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: like hurts hurts to me right now is number one,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just because he put up the stats in the Super
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Bowl through for three hundred yards. You rushed with three
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Okay, I'll give that kid
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to benefit of the the doubt. Now Number two is when
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I had trouble. It's like, am I just gonna give
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: it to Stafford because he's the best. He's got the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: ring and then the third spot. It's just tricky. So
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to me, the NFC, that's what all these pros are saying,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: where Derek Carr, Yes, we want to shoot on Derek Carr.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He's he had that one great MVP year and every
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: other year he's been very lack luster year. You know
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: this guy can give the right situation. We know Derek
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Carr has the talent. So from their perspective, I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: they're all just looking at that a the NFC South
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and they're just taking flyers on the Saints, the Bucks,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and the Panthers, where I completely understand it. I completely
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: get it. But to me, I think you just nailed Chet.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: It's like the Jets is what we want to bet.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We want to bet a team that has an incredibly
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: good defense, that's very young, with a good coach on
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the defensive mind. On the offensive side, we already know
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: will sent to wide receiver positions. Incredible. They got a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: couple of really good running backs. Obviously need to work
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: on that old line, but you know, you plug Derek
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Carr in there, you plug Aaron Rodgers in there. That's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a huge upgrade from Joe Flacco and Zach Wilson. I mean,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: what did they have last year and eight or nine
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: wins this Jets team. So it's hard for me not
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to take it. Take a little on the Jets team.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But I already told me and Chat already talked about it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: If I'm going long shots AFC, I've been looking at Denver,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: but looking at the Browns. So that's my only issue
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: with the Jets team right now, is I wish it
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: was thirty five, thirty to one the pros betted down.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Most books have a twenty five to one or twenty
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: eight to one. So going through the QB carousel, and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you got a whole list of names here.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Don't really care much about Bridgewater, don't really care much
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: about Brissett. I mean, the Geno Smith thing is great,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: but don't really care about that that much. Like the Mayfields,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the Sam Darnold's you know, Jimmy G's a little intriguing.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: At the same time, Jimmy G can't stay healthy for
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a full season, So what the hell, I mean, Chad
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: gonna do this? Guy goes to Carolina, Mean, Chad really
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: gonna move them? You don't bet Carolina. No, it's really
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it really does feel like it's just the Derek Carr
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodger sweepstake, and everyone's waiting to see what happens
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: with Lamar. So you know, Lamar Jackson gets franchised, that's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: end of that. But right now we don't really know
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: what to do with that. So to me, I've thrown
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of flyers out there, Chad, but nothing nothing
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: like big I got in bet. You know, I'm trying
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to think right now, I might have two thousand dollars
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: total on the Jets. I might have I don't know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: five thousand total between the Carolina Panthers, the Saints, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the Bucks. Where I think Chad just talking about I'm
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: just kind of throwing darts here, like I got no
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: inside info. These teams. They don't know if all they're
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: gonna do either. It's all like, all right, we'll go
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: let Aaron Rodgers sitting in a hole for four days
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: in the dark, and when he comes out, he'll pick
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: his team and then stuff will start falling, because I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: feel like that's what it is. It's like, you want
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to get the guy who won back to back MVP,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: not last year, but the year before, Like yes, bad
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: year by Rogers. All we see it all the time, right, Chad?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: That clip is real, Like Guys Hit forty that cliff falls.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: He's thirty nine. So the Aaron Rodgers thing is very interesting.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: But we love revenge. I love motivation. I love revenge.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So to me, Derek Carr, Aaron Rodgers, every team they
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: end up on, I'll try to convince Chad, I'll most likely,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you know, have a future one of those teams, because
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I just love that revenge spot, especially after a Tom
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Brady's super Bowl first year on a new team, Stafford
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: super Bowl first year on a new team. That makes
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a little more easy to bet on a team, A
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: player on a new team. Yeah, you're not gonna have
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to convince me where to take some flyers here for
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the same exact reason you just say. I love the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: idea of a talented quarterback being revitalized on a new
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: team surrounded by more talent. It just changed your perspective.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: You are so enthusiastic. The next year it gets significantly harder.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But that first year, it's all fucking glory. Man. You're
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: so happy. You're feeling like you got a new lease
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: on life. You're so much more appreciative of the opportunity.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: It's just and especially when you're older, Like not to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: sort of bring different kind of context, but you get
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: an entirely different perspective on your career and what you're
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: doing when you're an older person getting a second chance
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to start fresh in something you love to do. Especially
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a guy like Rogers, who we all know Rodgers psychopath.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Like the guy remembers horrible things people said to him
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. Like think about how amazing this
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: guy's life is, and he's still harpened on things someone
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: said to him when he was in junior college wherever
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: it was. That's what you want. You want that kind
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of psycho like Brett Farve. That dude was dead, he
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: was left for dead. He went to Minnesota, took that
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: team a couple plays away from making a real serious
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: playoff run. Like that's what we're looking for. We're looking
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for guys that that's the last bit of talent they have.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: So for the revenge factor, I love the Rogers just
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: for a guy get into a new situation where I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: think has talent. I love Derek Carr, So the rest
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of the least doesn't really move the needle much for
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: me about you, but those two I don't care about.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones isn't leaving New York and also I don't
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: think he makes enough of a difference to make them
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: any more Super Bowl contenders in terms of the prices
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that they're at. Yeah. I like the plan of take
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: some flyers on the NFC South because Car could end
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, and there are some worst to first
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: scenarios there. Keep an eye on the Jets. The NBA

• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Last week we talked a lot about Houston and Chicago
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: as Super Bowl long shots. So one of the questions
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: we have is doel either of those at their divisional prices.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say most books, they might hang it,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: but they'll take it down like it's just you're in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a weird point here of the off season of books.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: They don't want to leave too much exposed. So maybe if, maybe,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: if a couple of guys are operating the books at night,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: they'll add it for the night and then we'll take
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: it down by the morning, just because they don't want
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to have to be watching it all night. Because football,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: you know, unless you're a real degenerate, like most of
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: us are not, many guys are locking their money up
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: for the next year, you know. So most of these
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: things divisional. You know, we'll be on top of it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: We'll give out where we think the value is. We're
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Houston and Chicago. I got no issue of issue for
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: if you want to take a little on their divisional odds.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: The reason I just do the Super Bowl is because
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it's such huge long odds. It's just easier to take
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a position during the season to hedge out where. You know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I got pennies on the Jaguars at twelve to one.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Where I really made the big bets was at eight
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to nine to one, right when August. We're really talking
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: about in August, when the books don't care. They'll take
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: as much as you want to throw down these divisional odds.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So I would love to sit here and tell you
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to take these divisional sides. But the numbers are all
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: going to change from book to book, and there's just
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: not that much value, like you're Fire's not and I'm
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: not seeing divisional odds posted for you know, a lot
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of books right now. Yeah, that's and that's that's how
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: it is in February, you know, yeah, yeah, and then
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I'm looking in the Action Network gap right now, none
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of the books that I follow have divisional odds posted. Simon,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: during sharp Calls every week you'll mention a really sharp
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: group whose bet has influenced your play, and thus it
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: ends up influencing my play. Is the opposite? Also true?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Are there groups you don't respect who when they when
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you hear they've come in on a game, it makes
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you think we should fade them. Now, I'll just say
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: this once for the people listening out there, if you
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: make it to where I'm at, if you work for
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: one of these groups, there ain't no disrespect. Like these
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: dudes are all really fucking good at what they do.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: So that's one of those where Yeah, in my back
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of my mind, while I think this guy's passed his
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: prime and a little cooked and a little outdated, some
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: of his reason and some of the shit he'll say, Yeah,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, that guy is gonna be
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a winner, like he's gonna be able to win, that's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: why he still has that job. So you know, that's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: always tough where I would love to come in here
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, there's some groups I fade like
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that just doesn't happened. But Twitter is another beast. Like
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I joke with chat all at the time.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: People are always like, why don't you call people out
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on Twitter? There's nothing to gain from it, Like all
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing is shitting on a person that you know
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: they're just trying to live their dream. People like they
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: want to give out their ship picks and talk football.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Who am I to go in there and be like,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: this guy's a fucking fraud. Fade his picks. You'll figure
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that out. You follow people long enough, they're giving you
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: shit in for every week, you'll figure it out. Because
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: there's always gonna be those guys that are just like,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: no one wins betting. This is just supposed to be fun.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It's just like, all right, we'll go follow that guy
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: fun losing money. If that's what you want to do,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: go do it. So my old thing to people, if
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you're on social media, there's literally people that their whole
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: thing is to fade them like they like, I follow guys.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: They're funny as hell. They post shit they know is
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: going to be a sucker bet loser. When I see
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: them line up from my picks, I'm not gonna scares
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the shit out of me because these people are lemons.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Like that's just how it is. Some people have a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: really good skill, and they're good skill as they lose,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: like they just can't pick winners, which you might want
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to shoot on that person. That's a skill and if
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: they know it and they lean into it, you can
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: just fade them. You can make a profit off it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: So if you're looking for that, I'd say go to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: social media for someone like me professionally. It's so rare
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that I would just not respect someone that much in
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: my profession where I'm like, oh, I gotta fade that guy.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way. Eventually the trash gets
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: taken out. You slept up for a year or two,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they are gone like this just this ain't that type
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of business. They're gonna keep let you lose their money
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and the people paying for your picks and your groups
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: so got nothing like that. I mean, I mean, she
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: had to talk about the time there's there's there's certain
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: sharp calls, like certain groups where yes, they'll scare the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: shit out of me. You know these ones I talked about,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: these three sixty five guys, I bet maybe four or
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: five times a year. That's a true move the needle.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: If I'm on the wrong side of them, I don't
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: even care. If I have seven figures down, I get out.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: These dudes. They're the best. They're literally what I aspire
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to be. They're just they're the best. So the guys
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we joke about had time machine. So those guys scare
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the shit out of me. Other groups, you know, I'm
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: just like everyone else. I got an ego. I'll back.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I'll go back and forth of these guys, you know,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and we'll try to figure out and find out why
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: they're on one side. And if you know what I'm
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: overlooking contradicts that or whatever, I'll get out of the bet.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Like I don't have that much pride. I respect everyone's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: opinion for the most part. So very rare where there
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: is a group out there that I will look down on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: But I think I, like anyone else, right, there's always
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be people you look down on. So I would
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: never come on here though, and do that right. I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: would never come in here and say I really like
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: this one side, now out because it's group's on the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: same side. So um, if you know that one, I'm
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: trying to think what game was. It might have been
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the jets of my Amy game earlier in the year.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: That's one where me and Chad literally got off this
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: show and I had multiple guys calling me being like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you're you're stepping in at this really smart group is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: on the other side that That's again, that's my favorite
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: part about this show and a lot of stuff I do,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: where you know these guys are looking out for me.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the community you're in where we all
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: want to win. The enemy, I said all the time.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: The enemy is not each other. The enemy is the book.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: And I think on Twitter and other things, it's not
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: real life, like these people calling each other around and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: talking shit about people. It's just not really like. That's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: why you'll never really catch me on Twitter. Unless they
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: are a scumbag that sells picks like they're ship picks.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to call that person out. But if they're
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: just giving out free content on Twitter, I let them be.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: That's just how my view is the whole thing, the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: only thing. The only person you should fade is Darren Velt.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Remember Darren's actually interesting question. Curious to hear your answer
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: because you're closer to this age than I am. Yeah,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and I think it also will play into a later question.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire, who was inactive for a lot of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the Casey playoff run Yeah, skipped the Chiefs Super Bowl
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: parade to walk in New York's Fashion Week at age
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: twenty three. What could have made you skip your own
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl parade? I would say, he's young, just jealousy
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and anger, and that's the only thing I can think
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of is no, no, But what could have made you
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: skip your own So at twenty three, at twenty three,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: what would you have what would have made you skip it?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean at twenty three, you're just stupid. You don't
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: know you're stupid because you think you got a lot
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of the answer, especially very successful like this kid is
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: at twenty three. Me myself at twenty three, man, I
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: was like, just get it into this whole. That was
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: my first official year of being a pro sports bedder.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So that mindset then would have been all about the money,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: like I was very money hungry, especially at twenty three.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So if they were paying me to be at the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: New York Fashion Show and not at the Super Bowl parade,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I guess at twenty three out have been entice, especially
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: if they'd sat me for the Super Bowl. I was
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: all pissed off about it. But now at thirty three,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Hell no, dude, you never know if you're gonna make
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it back. It's the same thing as you know, people
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: shopping on Carson Wentz saying he never won a Super Bowl.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: He did, he got us the one seed, and he
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was just hurt. He was on that Eagles team. So
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that's that's heart breaking. Here. I didn't know Claude skipt
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the parade, so yeah, I think he's just young an immature.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: He's young and immature at age twenty three. Literally nothing
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: like I'm thinking back, that's when I was twenty three.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I was working at Sports Illustrated. I was just out
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of college. It was my dream job. Yeah, and like
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: there was there was nothing that could have made me
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: skip a Super Bowl parade because I'm thinking, like the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: stakes at SI to me were the equivalent of being
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in the NFL and trying to reach the pinnacle at
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the time. That's what it was, right, and like it's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: all I cared about, It's all I thought about, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I think that it's a really good compliment to the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: next question I want to ask, which is if Simon
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and Chad could go back in time and give their
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: younger and younger selves advice, what would it be? Also,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: are aliens real? You go first? What to answer the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: first part? First? I would say answer the second part first,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: our aliens real? And then what advice? Well, my first
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: thing would be to this person is go eat some
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: mushrooms and then you'll realize really quickly you are an alien,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: my friend. You're onnest on a plane, it traveling through
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: space at thousands and thousands of miles per hour. Yeah,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those people that I think they are.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: You know, me and Chad, we don't have enough time here.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: But that's like one of my big things I like
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I'm into is humans history, like our past history or
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: our futtory going forward and learned about the universe. So
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I would say simple math says, yes, there are alien life.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: We can just do the math. But the little secret
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: of space is space is ever expanding. So the way
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: it's design is that it makes us. Every day we
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: get further away from other life. So it's one of
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: those things where it's like I catch twenty two of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I hope aliens are real, but if they come here,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the big fear of the Christopher Columbus
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: finding the natives. It's just it could be a really
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: bad deal. But as we get, as we get future,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you know, into the future here with this whole AI
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: thing that me and Chad talked about every now and then,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: it just feels like eventually we're gonna find some drones
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and it's just not gonna be aliens.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: It's just gonna be computers, whatever it is. So I'm
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: one of those in my lifetime. I hope we find aliens,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: but I'm also cool if we ever we don't, because
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be good or bad.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: They're already here, buddy to that. What's your advice? Oh
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: so tough man, I would say, you know, my younger self, dude,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I was just so anxious because I really, like we
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: just talked about, used to be money hungry. Now that
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I've made them money. It really I tell people at
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the time. It's just like, dude, if you can just
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: find something that makes you happy to do, do that
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: like money, Yes, it's nice to being comfortable on all
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: these other things you're always stressing. Like there isn't a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: day that goes by. I'm not stressing about my job
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: or money or whatever it is in life. I think
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that just comes with age, as you get a little
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: more relaxed, as you get older and you get more comfortable.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just not at that stage in life yet. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: for my younger self, I would tell him just keep
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: anyone out here. I would say, fine, try to figure
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: out what you want to do in your twenties and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: then work like a madman, like, work really hard. Of course,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: have a normal life, have a girlfriend, whatever you want
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: to do, well, work really hard, because once you reach
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: your thirties, sure you can ease up a little bit,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: but you won't want to because you're gonna find what
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: you do you enjoy and the working hard part you
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: rip your rewards. Like anything in life. You can be
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the hardest working guy ever in McDonald's and work your
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: way up like it's just that's how life is. You
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: can work hard and work your way up, but there's
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: some dead end jobs, or you can work your ass
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: off and that's it, Like you're not really going. We're
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: kind of stuck. So I kind of always tell people
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: trying to find something you can move up and make
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: more money than just bust your ass, because it's rewarding
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: in life, where you know, I know plenty of guys
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that hardy didn't do shit in their twenties too, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: we just hit our thirties and they're spinning their wheels.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: So that would in my fear of my younger self
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: is don't get comfortable. Just always have the little bit
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: of looking over your shoulder. I have a fire up
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: your ass because it works out for you in your thirties,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: working really hard in your twenties. Advice, do the work,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: keep ego out of it. Don't set arbitrary age based deadlines.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I gotta do X by twenty five, I gotta do
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: X by thirty. Be nice, keep your eyes open. And
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the last part means basically, you can do those first
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: four things, but if you're passionate about what you're doing,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to Simon's point, and you want to keep driving, if
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you don't keep your eyes open to where the opportunities
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: are and you're doing all the other stuff. Whatever you
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: define success as might not come your way because it's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: not just gonna You can't just put it out into
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the universe and say, oh, it's going to happen like
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: you kind of got to keep your eyes open and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: see where the opportunities are. And if you're doing all
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: those other things, then you'll find you know, for lack
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: of a better term, the right product, market fit and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: achieve all the things that you're hoping to achieve, whether
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that's relationships, work, family, etc. Etc. Again, see easier said
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: than done. When you know I'm on the other side
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: of fifty, then Simon who's barely on their side of thirty. Yeah, Well,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the one thing you said I think was perfect of
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: don't worry about what the guy next to you is
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: doing in life like that is truly the cancer of
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: all candid your soul because again I was twenty one
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: twenty two and I first come to this type of
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: line of work. I had no college degree, and I
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: was not broke, but like close to it because I've
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: lost all my money, you know, the growing pains of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: sports betting. So going on Facebook or Instagram and seeing
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: my friends who were partying in college or getting their
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: first job or doing all that other stuff. Was horrible
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: to my mental health. So I always say to people,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: if you can't handle that shit, just the lead and
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: get out of mind because it does nothing for you,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't improve your life in any way. Worrying about what
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: other people are doing in life. So yeah, I'm right
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: there with Chad. Please just focus on yourself, not worry
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: about other people. Last answer I'll give, and then again
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go to some more questions for the Thursday episode.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: To make sure you subscribe to the favorites an Apple
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Podcasts and Spotify, we'll have more questions on Thursday. Are
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: aliens real? Carl Sagan, one of the defining scientific thinkers
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: of the past century. It is egotistical of us to
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: believe that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Chances are the aliens are here. It could be sharks,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: They could be ambas of some form. It could be
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: chat GPT, which is kind of freaking me out lately.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is, the aliens are here or they're on
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: their way. But I promise you we are not the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: only intelligent life in the universe. In fact, more than
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: likely we're the least intelligent life in the universe. And
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: on that note, as a reminder, it is the NFL
