  Speaker 1: God bless football, Mikey A.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: God bless football, Bear, God bless football. Guys. Well, we
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: get some some roster moves the other day. We're fired up.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It's always football. What.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you're fired up. That's why I asked you
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: to come on today. You were sending some text to
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: me and Mikey A and a group. Tailor's not here,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: he's handling some stuff with Zalacana right now. But you
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: were all fired up about two well, going to the
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: falcons and I was like, hey, you want to record today,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and you're.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Like, thanks for the head's up. Let's go appreciate that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I got a good fifty minutes or so. That was fine.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: That's why, and that's why it can shaved this morning.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So a little look good.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: This is offseason bear, Yes.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Exactly, we love it. Today's like you, like everyone wants
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to expand the college football not everyone, well, like people
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: talk about expanding the college football playoff, like today in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: conference basketball tournaments would be what like a round of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: twenty four in the college football playoff would be like
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: all these teams really don't matter and have no chance,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but they're playing and its content. So we're gonna so
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we're gonna watch it. But yes, yeah, no, you you're
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: putting words in my mouth. But like out for tour
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: or anything. But look the Atlanta Falcons, Like could you imagine?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Like I was thinking to myself, like, wow, could you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: imagine being a Falcons fan? But they've actually been to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: a couple of Super Bowls in my lifetime, unlike the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: team that we root for. Yep, Like, so you you
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: sign Kirk Cousins, to draft Michael Panics, to now sign Tua,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Like what are we doing?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah? But TA for them is a bargain for the Dolphins.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: They overpaid. It was the worst contract in the history
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of the of the NFL.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But the Dolphins are paying that contract now and the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Falcons are getting them on the cheap, And so I
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: do feel like it's a good deal for the Falcons,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: you know, Like.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Is he the backup? Like I don't know, is Kirk
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Cousins the backup?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't know.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If you're not expecting too to go in there and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: compete with Michael Pennix for the starting job, are you?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Because if he, if you are, that's a really stinging,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: damning indictment on what you think about Michael Pennix.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: No question about it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: But he's coming off an injury, Pennix is and so
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: it's going to listen to had his best game of
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the year last year against the Falcons in that building.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So he had four touchdowns, no interceptions, played very very
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: well in that game.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I think they're bringing it into a I don't think
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: they're they're committed to him being the starter, but if
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: he ends up being the starter, I think they're gonna
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: be okay with that, you know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: But that's the decided to his greatest performance ever, like
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the legend of Tua Alabama with the overtime touchdown pass
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: against Georgia. Yes, game, I love too, and I hope
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: he can stay healthy and I'd love to see him
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: do the job. But it's just like an amazing like
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I'll be your first round pick, and you continually get
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: like this reputation or these upperla like look at look
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: at freaking Zach Wilson. How the else he's still want
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: an NFL roster? Right, Yes, but you get from Sam Donald? Yes, well,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: get right.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: If someone gave up on Sam Donald though, he would
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: not have won a Super Bowl, right, I mean.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That's the Jets give up on Sam Donald.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Then went to Carolina and then he went to.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, and he actually he did okay at San Francisco. Yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you got thrown into action, didn't he? When uh, when
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: perty got hurt? He did okay, didn't he?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Well, Donald will say that the year he spent as
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a backup in San Francisco, just learning how to play
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that position with Kyle Shanahan.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Is is what made him as good as he's become here.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: And so it is interesting that you're starting to see
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: a shift, like I think NFL teams are realizing, hey,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: we don't have to dump five hundred million dollars onto
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: a quarterback. We can win with Sam Donald. Yes, that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the way you do it. And there are people who
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: believe that you only win a Super Bowl if you
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: have a Hall of Fame quarterback or a quarter back
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: on a rookie deal. Now Darnold wasn't on a rookie
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: deal obviously, but he was on a deal on the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: chief kind of yes, and you were able to build
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: a team around him. And I fully agree with that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And that's why with some of these people who want
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to take quarterbacks all the way at the top. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we got to take a quarterback number one. The bust
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: factor risk is so high there. I would rather build
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: my team, draft a great line, and draft a great
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: defensive player, draft around, and then you know, Okay, we'll
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: go out and go out and sign a quarterback in
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: free agency. And that's kind of the way these college
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: football teams are doing it right now in the college
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: foot Indiana Elia. You look at Miami in Indiana like
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they're like not recruiting quarterbacks anymore, right sow. You're signing
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: guys in the portal that to and worry about recruiting
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all of the other positions. So I think we might
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: see a little bit of a paradigm shift, even though
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we know Mendoza is going to go number one to
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the Raiders.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Bear.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It's kind of interesting because we're growing up watching football
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and the guys that were winning Super Bowls. It wasn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Dan Marino, it was Joe Eisman, it was Mark Rippin,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it was Doug Williams, all three of those guys.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: One with Washington, it was Phil Simms winning a couple
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with the Giants.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And so maybe we're kind of going back to that
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: time where a good quarterback is good. If you think
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: about those teams, even the Cowboys who won three Super Bowls,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that team was built from the inside out.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Ekman was good, he wasn't great. Look at the numbers.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, he had him at Smith, he had Michael Irvitt
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: and he had the best offensive line in football, maybe
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: in the history of football.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And even Brady, who was great, he was a sixth
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: round pick and they weren't expecting him one of the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: all time greats when they took him, and picking him
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: in the sixth round allowed them to plug in and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: go out and sign where one year you trade for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Randy Moss and you trade you you bring in a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Corey Dillon. A year you bring in a lawyer molloy
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and other guys in that in that your scheme and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: helped that defense. So no, you're right, I like I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: like having a little bit of a little bit of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: an uncertainty and building some some teams around around other positions.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Now, it requires a good organization to do that, people
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: who know what they're doing, people who kind of think
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: things through. And I think that's why me and mikey
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a Are always swinging for the fences with a quarterback
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: because we don't trust the people running our organization, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: so maybe they'll just stumble and get lucky, stumble into
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a great quarterback and then we'll have a chance, you know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: One of these years. And that's why the goal. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: love what the Dolphins are do. I mean, I know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I know they're eating a whole bunch of money this
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: year on two is dead contract, But like the goal
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: is to absolutely suck this year. You can never really
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: tank in the NFL just because they're they're only seventeen
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: games and they're the roster. I mean, you've only got
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: so many people on the roster, and everyone who makes
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the roster is pretty good. But like, this is the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: year to go for broke because next year is going
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: to be the year at the top of the draft
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: where you're going to be able to look at an
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: arch Manning, look at a Dante more potentially look at
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a Julian Saying, and a bunch of other guys out
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: there as well. Next year is the year you're going
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to be looking for your franchise type quarterback. So, by
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: all means, if you can go two and fifteen this year,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: by all means do it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: This would be the year to do it right. Stuck
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Got's here.
• 7:16

  Speaker 1: Mendoza, what's the ceiling for him?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: If I told you Mendoza wins.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: A Super Bowl? Will that exceed your expectations? Hey?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, Wow. I was going out. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: was gonna wonder if you were like a career comp
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and then like the first name that kind of came
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to mind was Andy Dalton's kind of a long career,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: good solid quarterback makes the playoffs run a little bit.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You're never gonna be embarrassed by him, like like someone
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: like that. Right, if he's Andy Dalton, I think the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Raiders would be ecstatic. Number one overall.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Picks don't get Andy Dalton careers they get they get
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: either out of the league or they get a chance
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: to start.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They don't get hey, come in, be this guy's mentor
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: be this guy's backup. Number one picks don't get that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: No, but they'll get second, third, and four chances. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: mean the way two it is right now? Yes, but
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: to start right?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Like is that fair?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very fair. I wonder if if how that
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Chad Pennington. Oh, i'd be if he's Chad Pennington, that'd
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: be great.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But do you think the Raiders think that's his ceiling?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: They have to think more of him than Andy Dalton
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: or Chad Pennington to take him number one overall, don't they?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Of course they think more. Everybody thinks more. Everybody thought
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Zach Wilson was going to be something. Everybody thought Trey
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Lance at eighteen years old, was not playing for a year.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: The things he can do on with.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: John Lynch thought that, let's be honest, I.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Mean, I mean, no one, no one's gonna admit to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: be and they just say, like we're taking a number one,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you know, if he could, if he if he can
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: be whatever, We'll take that. Everyone thinks they got a
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer on everybody overreached their talent.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: It's like the w S a n caller, Like what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: what if the Jets offered Garrett Wilson to the Niners
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and they and they got Michel Williams, brock Purty or
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Matt Jones and like two number one picks. It's like
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the old like the ridiculous trades that the callers were called. Everybody,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: everybody thinks that their player there, their offer is the best.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Of course they do.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: That's what That's what fandom is all about, right, Yes,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: bet we were having a conversation about the World Baseball
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Classic earlier.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Would you root for?
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Would you root for your favorite player if your player
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: didn't play for the United States, meaning if your favorite
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: baseball player played for the Dominican Republic, would you root
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: for the d R over your your country, the United
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: States of America?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Really a heartbeat?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: What yes?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jesus Christ, you hate the United States.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Because no, I don't. It's all where bear has money.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's what I By the way, what what Let me
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: let me go back and look at my uh my
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: text threat here from from last week. Hey, used to
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you use the FanDuel boost on Junior Cameranaro up to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: eighty five to one to be uh, yes, hey, the
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: WB I crickets Cricket's back from you guys, and I
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: think he's like fourteen to one now to be uh,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I placed it?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: He did?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I placed it?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He did place it?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And Aaron, look, I'm a I'm a Yankees fan and
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I lot of love Aaron Judge, I think it's it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: You're right. It's a weird event though, because well it
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: kind of has this like nationalistic Olympic type feel baseball.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: The way people consume baseball these days is through like
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: fantasy and daily fantasy and betting, and you you're root
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: for player is a lot more than your root for teams.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: So like, if I'm a if aby Yankees fan and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I hate the Red Sox, why don't want want to
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: root for Roman Anthony? Right?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I mean I guess, I mean he hit a three
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: run homer for your country last night, But you don't
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: care enough about the country element of this is what
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: you're saying.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: No, not at all. It feels kind.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Of like more of an all It feels manufactured, yes.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: The manufactured All Star Game performance. But but the one
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: thing I will say, the fans absolutely love it. How
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: great is it to watch the Dominican Republic games and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the fans just eating it up when either Soto or
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Machado or Tatisse or Kevin Arra or going. It is
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: awesome to watch. And again you wonder if that's ever
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: possible in Major League Baseball to keep that enthusiasm going.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: But for for TV and for a spectator fan purpose,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: it's been a massive hit.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Not with one hundred and sixty two regular season games,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: it's not. I mean, you have to create stakes, you
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: have to create urgency, and they have neither. Baseball, they
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: have not. That's what the postseason. There is such a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: disparity in their postseason in terms of all four of
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the major sports that maybe hockey, the just the disparity
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: between the postseason and the regular.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Season is staggering. At baseball.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I love the postseason in baseball. I cannot watch regular
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: season baseball.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, and I am I grew up as
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a baseball junkie. It should I was the guy. The
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: guy sitting there on the couch is like a ten
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: year old Sam turning on w p i X channel eleven,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: well watching the person and Bill White and Phil Rizzuto
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and whomever else keeping score for a random July Yankees A.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, now it's just hard to do this, so
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: many other things going on, and I think the pitch clock.

  Speaker 2: for the for the for the abs, for the automack
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: balls and strikes, and to see how that maybe changes things,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: just to kind of uh. I think it's gonna be
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: interesting because a lot of the people just kind of
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: like dumping on the umpires, and I think we're gonna
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: realize that the umpires probably did a much better job
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: than we give them credit.

• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I'm a little depressed.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Why this week is the NHC the National Handicapping Championship. Yeah,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: horse racing in Vegas. And last year, I just with
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: my busy schedule during the fall, I really didn't have
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a chance to play in as many qualifiers for the contest.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You have to qualify. You can't buy a seat in.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: You've got to qualify. And I did not qualify, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I fell behind, and I was chasing late and then
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Sunday and the last opportunity on the weekend, there were
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: a couple of seats. Of the two couple of contests
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I played in, there was one contest that offered one seat.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I finished second. There was another contest that offered two seats.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I finished third. Wow, I just missed out on qualifying.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: So I'm not in Vegas this week for the first
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: time in a long time, and I'm I'm a little depressed.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: But in order sorry body that we're we'll be we'll
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: be okay. In order to get my fix in in
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: my fill, I decided I had a fire on Arkansas
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Pine Bluff to win the SWACK to to kind of
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: to kind of get my fix.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: In, and then, uh, this is an effort to try
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to make yourself feel better.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Huh Yeah, I felt better. Uh, I felt a little
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: bit better by firing on George Mason uh to win
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the A ten and I fired on Florida State to
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: win the ACC So a couple of nice long conference
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: title bets. To throw some pizza.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: So how'd you qualify for Vegas? What happens next? You
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: go out to Vegas, go out.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: To Vegas, and it's I think now it's like five
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: hundred people tops, I think is what it turns out
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to be. You qualify and there is a three day
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: tournament for a million dollars there. Friday and Saturday are
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the first two days of the tournament. You get twenty
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: bets to make hypothetical win place bets and the like.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: The top ten percent of the bank roll after Saturday
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: go on to Sunday and that's when you wind up
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: playing for the grand prize. So it's awesome to go
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: out there and see a bunch of people usually only
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: see a couple of times a year, but yet not
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: to be out there kind of sucks.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: So this is a who's Who of gambling, Mikey, This
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: is like a who's all. The best gamble in the
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: world are in one room.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: All of the best horse players in the world are
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: in one ballroom at the Horseshoe in Vegas. Yeah, it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: an awesome scene. Imagine imagine four hundred people or so guys,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: a little looking like me, bald, over eight glasses, not
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: shaven for a year, jerseys on.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was imagining.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, imagine like a room of that and that's what
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: it is over over over three days. Sounds fun, right,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: have you ever won it? No?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: No, have you ever won it?
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: No?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: My best finish was to finish top thirty top thirty
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: is it was my best finish I was. I was
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: in a position to make the final table one year
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and I got pasted late. So May May made a
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: lucky with me.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: So you have friends within this group, right, like, oh yeah,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: oh yeah I had so did they talk so so
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: the fact that you didn't make the fact that you
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: didn't make it, Did they talk shit to you?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Like what happens? Then?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: No? No, it's a respect factause they know they know
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: how important this is. And when I was telling, when
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I was texting my buddies about my my disappointment on Sunday,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: they were like, oh God, that sucks. What a brutal beat,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: But what a great job of handicap and a lot
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: of a lot, a lot of respect. It's like the
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: old Miami Florida state rivalry where you know, you don't
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you don't hate them as much, you respect them because
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: they play each other, whereas like Florida used to never
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: play Miami and always like screw Florida. But there was
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: there was a respect and a code of honor between
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Horse players that you don't want to You don't want
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to kick a horse player while they're down. Yeah, are you?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Are you guys sharing? Are you guys sharing other bets
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: when this is happening? Are you guys like? Oh God,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you because it happens during championship weeks. So
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: literally the first thing you bring the sheet down and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: they set up sports book kiosks in the in the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: big ballroom to be able to bet uh horse stuff
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and to be able to bet basketball, to be able
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to bet whatever else. I remember last year and it
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: was going on during the finals of the Carabell Cup
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: where where Newcastle want to in Liverpool, and I was
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: pissed off beyond believe. I was just so dejected on
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Sunday A that I didn't make the make the top
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: fifty to play for Sunday and then Liverpool went up losing.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: It was just terrible, right.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure your wife is happy to make it though.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I mean that that is an interesting conversation on Sunday
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: night after I everything was over, and I was like
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: waiting for like the appropriate because because I usually she'll
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: like ask how did you do in the contest, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: she didn't and I said, you know, interesting day in
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the contest, and it was like, I don't even want
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to know. Am I in trouble or something? But it
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: would have been interesting because we're leaving on our cruise
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday, so this would have been us. Yeah, this
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: would have been being Vegas Sunday, get home Monday early morning,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and then like have Tuesday before we leave Wednesday. That
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: would have been that. That would have been interesting to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: see how that conversation would have went, like, wait a minute,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: you're going to they guess now for contest and we're
• 22:02

• 22:10
  Speaker 2: we need and start packing and taking care of all
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the things that need to get done. That would have
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: been That would have been fun. It's an easy conversation.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: If you win the million, correct, yes, yes, if you
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: win the million, you are, don't you?

  Speaker 2: Pets smart?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Pet's smart, right, Yes, pets space marked. I love
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the idea of Bear flying home in a red high
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: having twenty four hours to get ready for a cruise
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: with Vegas all over them.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you can fly home and get twenty four
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: hours to fly fourteen hours to Buenos Aires.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can't believe you're doing that. It's amazing.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Neither can I. Oh I would. So the other day,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: my one, the long time fantasy league that I'm in,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I get the calendar in by Baseball Hour ur DBL
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Fantasy Draft Monday night, the twenty third, seven pm Eastern.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: That pops into the calendar and I get the you

  Speaker 2: the Atlantic where we're gonna be. Hopefully the Wi Fi works.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: If not, you're in trouble. Yes, some great keepers this year.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, is your wife aware of who she married? I mean.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yes, something selectively.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Right, I'm just surprised that she's surprised that you have
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: a fantasy draft wall on a cruise.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: You are aware that baseball season starts that week? And yes,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: every year I do this, right, and this this this
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: tournament with like sixty eight basketball teams that goes on,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: you know, like in March. That that happens every year. Right,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: she hates basketball though.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I think she hates sports.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: No, she That's the crazy thing is she doesn't Wow
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: loves football, she loves hockey, she loves tennis. Can't stay
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: basketball team. Now.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing, Bear, She's married to a a
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: professional gambler, and so loving sports and gambling on sports
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: are two very different things. If you're just a fan
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: of sports, you're a fan of sports, it doesn't take
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: up that much time.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: When you bet the way you bet that takes up
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of time. Dare it does? Yes?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: And that's what I did yesterday to just I'm sitting
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: here and I'm like, what kind of freaking job do
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I have? Where? Like my day is like, Okay, what
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: season win total? Am I gonna play over or under?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Like like, oh, yeah, you know, I'll think I'll fire
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: on a Mets Orioles World Series exact D ninety eight
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to one. She's like figuring out programming schedules and who's
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: going to direct the eleven o'clock Sports Center on Friday night?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm saying, hey, you know what, Red Sox under
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: eighty seven and a half looks good?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Crazy?
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy, But you're an in game better. It's just
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: it's very time consuming for you to gambling party. Some
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: people put in a bet and they just wait and
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: see what happens.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You don't Troy in game worked out last night?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Right? Of course it did.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: What's a story, by the way, six games in six
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: days for Georgia Southern. If they were a one, that
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: would have been amazing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Yep. Uh, what's the worst?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: What's the worst beat you've ever had? By the way?
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Real quick, before I asked that question. How much is
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: your fantasy baseball league for? Do you mind me asking?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's not a lot at all. Okay, it's like
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: a one hundred and fifty dollars or two hundred dollars
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: entry fee.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: With okay, a thousand people.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: It's it's about pride. Is the about where the hor
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Where were you're talking about the horse racing better? Is?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Where we don't? The fantasy league's more about talking shit
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: than anything else, right like that, that's what that's about.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: No, I'm in a similar league with my friends.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: We've been doing it forever, but it's pricey, and I
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: don't feel like doing it anymore because baseball is time consuming.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: So I've asked Taylor if he'd like to do it,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: but I don't trust Taylor. I'd like you to do
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: it with him. I put up the money, I put
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: up the money. We get fifty to fifty on the win, okay.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And so I'm telling you the year I won, I
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: won like seventy two thousand dollars.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Oh my god, that's awesome.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: All right, So you're gonna do it?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yes, I love the Fantasy baseball is the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: one fantasy sport that I still play. I love it
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: because I did not plan this. By the way, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: got my I got my magazine.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, yes, is that's.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Lindy's Lindy Mike too much. Tradition normally is to bring
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: these on my trip to Turks and Caicos in February,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: but being we didn't go to Turks and Caicos in February,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I did not have that opportunity. But so yeah, I've
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: had that I wore. I read some of them on
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the like I love looking for the the prospects that
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: gonna beg that are gonna be coming up, multiple position eligibility. Yes,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have to offline this and figure out when
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the uh when the draft is. What the situation here is.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: With all right, Mikey, you wanted on this, you seem disappointed,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you seem upset. I'll cut you in if you.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Want listen, I'll take a chunk. But I'm gonna let
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Bear make all the choice, all the choices.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, yes, what I'm trying to do is prevent
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Taylor from making any of the choices because I'll have
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: a team of Yankees.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: My buddy Nick, who is a massive Yankees fan. It's
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the same and his wife is from just outside Milwaukee.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: His team, like every year, is like sixty percent combination
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: of Yankees and Brewers. It's hysterical. If there's like a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Brewer's hot young prospect, like like last year, like Jacob
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Misraowski like was his minor league, like Jackson Trario a
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, is his minor Like he's taken
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: any hot Yankee or or or Brewer prospect, you know
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that you have to take them like three out three
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: rounds earlier than you would because old Nick is gonna
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: pop in there and grab them.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Uh. Did you see that story with a marathon?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: No?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, you did see the marathon finished? Because I'm wondering
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: how Bear would have handled this if he had gambled
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: on the marathon. Have you ever bet on a marathon?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: No?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: There was a Kenyan runner who was just light years
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: ahead of an American runner, but a fan came out
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: with a sign, and the Kenyan runner, who's you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: close to the end, follows the fan and the sign.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Off course at someone from the United States catches up
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: and wins the marathon and the Kenyan runner game in second.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: It's Darren, what a bad beat that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Would have been Yeah, that would have been a situation
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: that would not have been handled very well, not at all.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: By you, right by me, Yes, who cares about the marathon?
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Just by you? Right?
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Could you? Could you? Can you imagine like people in
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Kenya like watching this. I'm sure they are. We're gonna
• 29:45
