  Speaker 1: co host to your sidekick. People calling me Robin. What happened?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: How did you become Batman? Now I'm Robin. That's what

  Speaker 1: I got health insurance. But now I'm called Rob. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a fair tread. You will re elevate to co host
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: status very very quickly, especially when we get to the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: NFL season, and I will just be uh sitting along
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the side rail, listening to everything you say and trying
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to make all the money. But today, Simon, you will
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: face two guest challengers, and our first guest is our
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: new teammate, Alex Monico, sports gambling host on the Volume
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: podcast Network, more affectionately known as money Line Monico, my
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: favorite guilt written gambling host. What's going on? Brother? All right, Chad,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: thank you for the wonderfully warm intro. That is exactly
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: what it is. As I was telling you, half Jewish,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: half Italian. We lose these bets on the Action Network
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: now and they're on record. I'll be going from eight
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: hours to five hours of sleep, like last night when
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I chased the freaking Clippers plus eight live. But no,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'm very excited to be here. I I pretty much
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: gamble on everything. I mean, I don't know if you've
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: seen it out there in the ether. I am a fanatic,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you call it's a nice way to say degenerate, very
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: much married to the gambling game. I got a second
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: TV to my right, so it's a two TVs no
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: girlfriend up in here by design. So yeah, very excited
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to be here with you. Yes, thanks Roving. Well, We're
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: glad to have you here. Is our second guest. Of course,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: most people would know him. He is Kylin Wilson, one
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of our Action Network brilliant analysts, especially when it comes
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to college sports. Uh Jesus Christ. He's been doing this forever.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: He's a co host of the Action Network podcast. You've
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: been hearing him all season long on the college basketball
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: podcast We're Stucky and Mike Randall. He's in Arkansas, alum
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: whoo pig SUI. We already know that he does not
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like Arkansas to make the Final four, even though that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: means he'll be reject to buy his community. Colin, how
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: are you, Chad? I'm doing great today, and I think
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a more appropriate introduction would be person that has donated
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to the Bobby Petrino and Brett Bilma buyouts. That couldn't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: be anymore disparaging. Is throwing that news my weight? Well,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: guess what, pretty soon you may be able to contribute
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to the Eric Musselan bio because he could be going
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to my alma mater, Indiana University. Don't even respond. Here's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: how the game is played. You're gonna answer two kinds
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of questions. First, there are traditional trivia questions about sports,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sports betting the world at large, but also completely subjective
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and totally assinine open ended prompts to accumulate points. You
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: must answer the trivia questions correctly and also convince me
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that your responses to those open ended prompts are better
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: than your opponents. I feel like this is the dressed down,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not as classy version of weight weight. Don't tell me
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: on NPR. If you hate gambling, go listen to NPR.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I should give all credit for this to producer Matt
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Mitchell uh and audio genius, because is in this game
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just like sports betting, you can't get him. All Right,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: let's begin part one. I'm gonna sing it in Honorabilly Joe,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Come out Virginia. Don't let me wait here, we go Colin.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The last final four was held in two thousand nineteen,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: when the University of Virginia won it. All named two
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of the other three members of that final four Michigan State,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech Auburn. Wow, dude, Alex Monico said the bar
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: signon he came in so hot On that, Alex, you're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: up next. Virginia defeated Texas Tech by eight points in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that two thousand nineteen championship game. They only covered is
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: one and a half point favorites because UV a forced
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: overtime thanks to a three pointer with twelve seconds left
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in regulation from this player, now a starter on the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks when he's not injured. I was gonna say, guy,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is it Guy? It's not guy, I'm wrong. You should
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: be ashamed of yourself. I know, I'm sorry. I'm I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: gambling on the Hawks. I'm not watching every possession. The
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: answer is DeAndre Hunter. True story. I was on spring break,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: UH with my family and my best friend's family. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: made a bet with my best friend's oldest son, who
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: was fifteen at the time, that uv A would cover.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The only steaks were he is a thoughtful, amazing, strong
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: willed kid. The stakes were if uv A covered for
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours of our trip. Anytime I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was in the room and I said something or I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: said that he had to do this, although the thing
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: he could say was you're right, Chad, And believe me,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: there's nothing more painful for a strong willed teenager than
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to have to not respond to just say you're right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It was the greatest forty eight hours of my life.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Chad Millman got something right, all right, Simon. When you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: VA won that championship and cut down the nets, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: broadcast booth referred to them as the All Time Turnaround Champions,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a reference to their mortifying two thousand eighteen opening round
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: loss to this team, the only sixteen seed to ever
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: defeat a one seed named the team or its mascot.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Let's go with Cleveland State University, Maryland Baltimore County, the Retrievers. Wow,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Colin Wilson getting out to a big, big lead. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: by the way, this is why you're the fucking sidekick
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: because you don't know college basketball. I don't, but I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: do well in these brackets because of that. So the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: less you know, chat, here we go. Are you ready?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Part two? As you know, last year, a budding global
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: pandemic denied us a college basketball champion, and it's been
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: two years since we've experienced March madness of your task.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Sell me on another annual sporting event that would be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: improved if it was held every other year from now on.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: For example, if Nathan's hot dog eating contest was held
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: every other fourth of July, it might feel more fun
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and less gross. Simon, you get to go first. Now,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this is very close to my heart, and it's the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: World Cup. Never get over the fact that it's such
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: an old school thing that it's every four years. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: know some people like that because it's so much time between,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but I've always been claiming for two years. There's just
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: so much talent right now. In the world that plays
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: football around the nation, like everywhere. I mean, even America
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is getting better playing soccer. So I would love if
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: they would make it two years for the World Cup
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: because I would just like to see the showcase and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of the talent. There's there's a few more more fun
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: than betting on the World Cup because it's nation first
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: nation and if you're traveling during the World Cup, it's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just cool everyone wearing all their countries colors and everything
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like that. So for me, I wish they had moved
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: with every two years. Here's what I like that you did.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You took the premise, which was take something that happens
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: every year and turn it into something every other year,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and you took something that is so beloved and so
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: good it said there's too much scarcity, we need more
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of it, and turned it from four years to two years.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I will accept that answer, and I'm going to give
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you extra credit for coming up with something that is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the complete opposite of what the question was. Alex, you
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: get to go next. God, I gotta go with the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, my friend, the most unnecessary annual. I'm gonna
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: quote your boys Seinfeld here when he got an award
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just give them the award. People that get awards, they
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: know that they're already in work. Just just say it
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: out loud. If if these guys are gonna be millionaires,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: not tackling, and now we're in Orlando and not even Hawaii,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: so aesthetics are out the window. If they're playing out
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to get hurt, just you know, moving before the Super
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Bowl like they used two years ago, or Bud Kiss,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I'm all set. It's the It's the MLB All Star
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Game of bus baby, give me the Pro Bowl every
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: other year. I don't mind that answer either. That is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: very thoughtful. All right, Colin, I think I know how
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I'm handicapping this race so far, but give me give
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: me your response. Listen. If we're gonna talk about bowls,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we need to trim bowl season back. And this is
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a guy that will watch any Bowl at any time
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and bet on anything. There's just too many of them,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and so we need to ask ourselves. Do I need
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a Bad Boy Mower's Bowl every year? Do I need
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a Bitcoin St. Peter's Bird Tropicana whatever the hell that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: thing was? Bowl between Mississippi State and Miami of Ohio.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Full game fever, catchet, No, listen, to New Mexico Bowl
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: hasn't even had a sponsor in four years and they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: just played the goddamn thing in Frisco, Texas. There's too
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: many bowls. Some of these need to be chopped off.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But don't take away my Bahama's bowl, right, So some
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of these need to be trimmed. Wow, that's pretty good too.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, Bitcoin training a fifty thousand this morning.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to annoying a winner here. And it's not
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: because he's my bff and my companion and my full
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: co host of the Favorites podcast on the Volume podcasting Networks.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Because his answer was the most creative and I think
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: would bring the most fun. And at the end of
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the day, I want something that is going to bring fun.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want something that is just something that sucks.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Now getting it every two years instead of getting it
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: every year. There is no better event than the World Cup.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It is extraordinary. Simon Hunter, you win that round. Not
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to be confused with DeAndre Hunter, that is correct. Part two,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Cinderella and the City March Madness is all about Cinderella stories.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So our first question is inspired by the beloved animated
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: movie Cinderella released by Disney. Back in nineteen fifty. The
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: n A basketball champion that year was the City College
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of New York, who's infamous point shaving scandal rocked the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: college basketball world, infuriated honest gamblers, and forever altered New
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: York City status as a college basketball powerhouse. Despite this,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: there are still seven men's programs with campuses in New
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: York City. Name these seven schools one point each. You'll
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: guess one at a time, snake draft style. Simon. We're
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: gonna start with you, thank God, because I think I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: only know to n y U. You're wrong, Alex, You're
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: up next, Cornell. What the funk is wrong with you?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Cornell is not in New York City? Are you saying
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: New York City? I thought it was a surrounding area.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It's New York City. And by the way, Cornell isn't
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: even the surrounding area. Cornell is like eight hours away.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's an upstate New York. It's closer to Canada. Columbia alright,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Columbia is right. Jesus Christ. We're giving you that answer
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: only because, like you're a new friend, we give people
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: second chances. Colin, Yeah, I mean, I'll clean up the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: other six if these guys can't get him. So he's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: lucky he got Columbia. I'm gonna take the one away
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that these guys might actually get. So I'll start with St. John's. Boom, Alex,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: You're up next? Does Fordham count Fordham counts? That's pretty good? Alright,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So Alex, you got to Yeah, I'm dead there, right,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I got nothing? Oh my god, Simon is zero here
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: so far. Colin, you're next. I'm gonna take the team
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: away that's made the tournament more times people would recognize
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that be Manhattan. No, that was a good one. He
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: got it, Alex. Your next Queen City College. Oh Jesus Christ.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the Long Island Sharks away from
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: because they've made the tournament a bunch of times. True.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Colin just ended if you get one more? Yeah, well,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Wagner was the number one seed in their conference tournament.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't pull it off. So that's one that's in
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Staten Island. And then the last one is the only
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: team out of this entire group that has never made
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the n c A tournament, and that would be St.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Francis of New York, not St. Francis of p A.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So there's your teams. Well done. Can someone get Alex
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: some kind of atlas so he can learn a little
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: bit about where things are? Part two of our Cinderella
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: story Game. Cinderella is one of thirteen officially recognized Disney princesses. Suddenly,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: on the one Disney princess you choose to build a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: winning basketball team around. Obviously, you guys know all three
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of the princesses by heart. As a reminder for the audience,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they are snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Area Bell, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Lulan, Tianna, Rapunzel, Merida,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: mo Wanna and Raya Alex. This might be the moment
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: when you can redeem yourself. Chad, I gotta go with
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: snow White. It's an easy decision. First of all, she
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: deals with the seven Dwarves. That's grumpy, that's sleepy, that's dopey,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that's a little Bill Walton, little Rashid Wallace. You got
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the dot Bashful, you got the metal world piece rock
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in the Indiana Pacers Brawl pre Meta. Who better equipped
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: than snow White? She already deals with every kind of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: little man possible. This is far and away will be
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: my best answer snow White. I don't mind it. Colin,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you're up thinking about r L. But she doesn't have
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: any legs, like she had to cut a deal with
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a damn octopus just to try to find some feet.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So if you can't even find some feet, you're not
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be on my team. Frankly, the winner in this
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: group is not even close is Jasmine, and the reasons
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: because she married Aladdin, which means she now owns half
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of that Flying Rug, and by the time she gets divorced,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: she'll owned all of the Flying Rug. That's what I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: want on my basketball team. That's not bad either. That
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: is next level thinking. All right, Simon, Yeah, you know
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm a schemer. I'm always looking
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: for a little edge, a little loophole. We left out
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a huge loophole. Someone that recently just joined the Disney
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: family might some might say the greatest princess ever exists,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Princess Leah. I don't even need a ruling here, because
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Simon went next level in the same way that he
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: thought about the World Cup. He looked at the problem
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and didn't accept what he saw in front of him.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: He decided there's a better way to win. Guys. That's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: why he's been a successful professional better for so long.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: That's why he wins this round of the game. Simon,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this isn't yad the fixes in with your co host.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: She may be able to float through space dead and frozen,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: but she got no damn carpet. So whatever, let's head
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: into Part three. I'm giving you a score update right now.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Colin is ahead. He's got six points. Simon and Alex
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: are tied with two. Although Simon has given very creative answers,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and even if he just gets those two points, I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: feel like strategically he has proven himself to be head
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and shoulders above everybody. Here. Part three, let's party like
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it's Fans love to see fresh teams get their shot
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: at the Big Dance. Simon, also known as the State
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: University of New Jersey. This team broke the longest March
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Madness drought in this year's tournament. Come on, Jersey Boy,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'll go with the Rutgers, but it feels like it's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: tc J. I'll say Rutgers. Nice job, the Scarlet Knights.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Last One Dancing was the first year CBS televised every
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: n C Double A tournament. Game. This famous broadcaster was
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: their top play by play guy, also famous for referring
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to the Masters as a tradition unlike any other Alex
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that as you Jim Nance throw me a double tap
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: lay up. Thank you Chad for welcome back to Butler
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Cabin and this tradition unlike any other week and this
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: is for you. In c double A Championship, Larry Johnson
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in the undefeated un l V Runnin Rebels lost to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this eight point underdog Colin who beat them. Sadly, guys,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: this is right up my alley because Arkansas was in
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the final four the year before. Whoo pig SUI. The
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: answer is Duke, because Duke was embarrassed the year before
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: by that wonderful un l V team that my Arkansas
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: fought with every single year. You are correct. Let's keep going,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: simon your next The song Someday was number one in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the charts in March, performed by this female powerhouse Billboard
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: magazine's most successful musical artist of the nineties. It feels
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: like Madonna killed the nineties. So I guess, Madonna, I'm
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: going to give you another. Yes, I'm gonna give you
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: another yess. Alright, it feels like it's cheena. Mariah Carey.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Mariah Carey is the answer in Alex. This car, named
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: after a zodiac symbol, was in the middle of a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: six year run. Is the most popular car in America
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: for years. I should know this off the dome aries
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: before Taurus. Oh that makes it sound so easy, Alex.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: This game is not going well for you. Maybe there's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: time to rally Colin. Some Vegas sports books lost over
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a million dollars after two teams went from worst to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: first to meet in the World Series. The Atlanta Braves
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: were hundred one to win the n O Pennant. They
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: lost in the World Series in seven games to this
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: team who were a hundred one to win the World Series.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Let mean Jack Morrison, the Twins. Here's what's unfair. That's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: what's unfair. Colin is the only other person on this
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: podcast who's old like me. You too old. You're just
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: an old man. He lived through all these things. He
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: might have been driving a FOURD Taurus. He might have
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: been listening to Mariah Carey on c D S was
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the birth of Nirvana. So no, I was listening to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: never Mind and I wasn't able to drive, And if
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I would have been I had O J's Broncos so
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Ford Broncos out of a Ford Taurus. So all right,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So maybe I was listening to Mariah and c DS
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and I was driving a four tour us while also
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: watching that World Series. Here we go, next question, as
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we celebrate Rutger's return to March Madness for the first
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: time since. If you could bring back one thing from
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the early nineties to immediately improved sports betting today, what
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: would you choose? Colin Europe first technology has made the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: gambling space better for consumers, better for betters. Actually it's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: been better for bookmakers. What got me in trouble with
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: my parents back then is that I called a one
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: number and my parents thought that I was calling like
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: for like, you know, some sort of dirty girl one
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: number thing. No, I was calling a touts hotline because
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: apparently he was standing on the sideline of a two
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: lane football game and I needed to know if a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: running back is playing. If we could bring something back
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: from the past, the age of the one numbers, and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't have touts. The number should go straight to
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: beat writers that are on the basketball court on the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: football field telling us who's in warmups, Who looks a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: little shaky. Who's got to take a ship? Right? I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: mean this apparently handicapping Lamar Jackson and Paul Pears bowel
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: movements are a thing now, so it's I need a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: one numbers straight to the field. I love that idea.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, I used to call three one three,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: which was sports phone, every ten minutes to get updates
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: on scores. That's the kind of world we were living in.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: You're just an old man. Also, not for nothing. One time,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: my buddy's mom did happen to get on the phone
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: when we call the different kind of nine number, and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: she was asking us a lot of questions. Alex, look
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: back into your infant memories and tell me one thing
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that could come back. They would improve sports betting today. Chat,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I gotta go with bullyball. I'm sorry. I'm sick of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: these little baby back whistles, the hardened flops, the Italy
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Siri odd dives, whatever you wanna call them. I missing
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: eighties six game when I was in diapers. Everyone hammer
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: in the under. If they played playoff basketball all year,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it would make for a better product in terms of gambling.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna get bailed out by the whistle. The
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: rest is screwing us every other day, and I gotta
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: bring back some elbows and some jugglers getting hit and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of bloody noses. I like that idea. I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: think that's a really good idea. Bullyball. Bullyball. Bill lamp
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: here with it all right, Simon, this is your chance
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: make a move. If I to bring anything back from
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: it would be your jet black hair. I don't know
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: how it was so black back then, but I'm looking
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: at these photos and I can't get over how dark
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: your hair used to be. So I can bring any back,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: anything to improve my gambling life, it would be Chad's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: jet black hair. I swear to God, I think you
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: look great for there. I agree with you, Simon. Somehow
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it's come down to you and Alex Monico. I am
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: gonna go with Simon because why why why yet? Black hair.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: The reason why he's saying that is because over the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: past few days since we announced the deal with Colin
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and Volume Podcast Network, there have been a couple of
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: pictures floating around of me on the set of Colin's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Sunday Morning Football show when we were both at EUSt
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: PN and I look like, I'm twelve years old and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I've got the most glorious head of jet black hair.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I look freaking fantastic. I'm gonna tell you this, Alex.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: If Chad doesn't work out here at the Action networking
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: with the volume, he's definitely got a job as a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Pack twelve football referee. Al Right, Part four Alum is.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: One of the best parts of March Madness is learning
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: about random schools and their quasi famous alumni. Virginia is
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: a number three seed in this former Mountaineers basketball star
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: played for every Lakers team, Alex, this is for you
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: every Lakers team on the nineteen sixties. There's Hall of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Fame career, and is believed to be the model for
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the NBA logo. This, as they say in the biz pun,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: intended a fucking layup. Mr Jerry West boom colin twelve
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: seeded win through boast this popular actress as an alum.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: She played Bill Murray's TV producer and love interest in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the movie Groundhog Day, Andy McDonald boom Uh Simon, This
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: one's for you. You're never gonna get it, but I'm
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: probably gonna geopard anyways. Actor barcad Abdi is a product
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: of fourteen seed more Head State. He famously tells Tom
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Hanks this quote in this two thirteen film look at me,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I and the captain. Now look at me, Sure, look
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: at me. Sure, I'm the captain. Now I remember is
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a smalling higher it's robbing the ship? Captain? What was it? Man?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But I can't remember it? You know what? You came
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: so close and you tried so hard. You know it's there.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It's Captain Phillips, and you're you had it. So you're
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: getting a point for that. Alex sixteen seeded. Drexel is
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the school of fame music producer Howard Benson, who wanted
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Grammy for producing this singer's two thousand and eleven albums Stronger,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: which featured the chart topping single what Doesn't Kill You
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: It Makes You Strong? Gosh, is this embarrassing that I
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: think I might know this? You should know it. She's
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: an incredible art Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson, I started laughing
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: in the middle of that question because I'm thinking of
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: like all the stuff that we have to be doing
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: right now at the Action Network to get ready for
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: March Madness. And I got Matt Mitchell, who I know
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: is in a dark room looking for these kinds of questions. Uh,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all right, Colin, this is another one for you. Last
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: two questions of this round. This ESPN insider graduated from
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: ninth seeded St. Bonaventure and is famous for NBA social
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: media news bombs that bear his nickname, Adrian will Janowski.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That is correct, Simon, last question. One of twelve seeded
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Georgetown's most famous alums is this late twentieth century U
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: S president who received a bachelor's degree from their School
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of Foreign Service in Clinton, Bill Clinton. If you had
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: said Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Barack Obama, I also would
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: have given you credit. It's Bill Clinton. But you always
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: get the right answer. Bill Clinton also one of two
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: two presidents I've met. Bill Clinton also joining me in
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a ton of games and Bud Walton Arena in the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: mid nineties. Totally did that whoo pig SUI famous. The
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: lambs are great, but there's no greater ambassador for college
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: hoops program than it's mascot. Looking at the round one matchups,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: handicap your favorite mascot matchup, including the money line and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: who you are taking, Colin your first There's a favorite
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in there that would probably have short odds, and sometimes
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: it's okay to bet fat favorites. Think of Floyd Madeweather
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: against Connor McGregory, you had to hammer it. And so
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: when you look at Drexel going up against Illinois, you
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: kind of think of Mario the Magnificent, the Dragon for Drexel,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and he should be about a minus four hundred favorite
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: because he's going up against the Fighting a Lion I.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: But what you don't think about is the fighting a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Lion I are going through in a complete identity change.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Their new mascot is now a bird called Kingfisher, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I quote is known for taking a high speed dive.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I will lay minus four d minus five of under
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: minus six hundred against any bird that represents a high
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: speed dive and represents a team run by Brett Bilma.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: So yes, give me Mario the Magnificent of Drexel minus
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: five hundred. I'll lay it all day, bank account, kids,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: college fund everything. I will tell you right now. My
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: other son is Uh has applied to colleges once to
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: study game design. One of the best game design programs
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: in the country is at Drexel. I am very aware
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of what Drexel was and of the dragons, and I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: am with you. I love the Dragons as a nickname.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I love the dragons in this matchup as an Illinoisan,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I am annoying they've changed it to this Kingfisher that
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: takes a dive. In sports, the last thing you want
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: to do is be connected to anything that takes a dive.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Alex got a long way to go to climb out
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of this word. Buddy, I'm gonna go with I think
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: what is the most highly anticipated first round matchup? And
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: from a mascot standpoint, Chad, I'm gonna go with Ramseys.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: The Dorset ram for the tar heels at a little minus.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I would say probably one fort because Bucky the Badger
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of Wisconsin looks pesky. But I've seen the Dorset ram
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: when he gets snickers hangry. I gotta be honest. I'm
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: taking those horns all day long to run over Bucky.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe give a little tar heel Cobra Kai high kick.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if there's enough time,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: but I will swallow the little bit of juice. Give
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: me Ramassies. It's also like a like a Game of Thrones.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Name if we're calling a spade of spade just Ramesses
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't lose till Bucky the Badger. I think that's really interesting.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Badgers are They are tough, but Bucky the Badger is
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: no honey badger. So I don't mind this one. Uh signon,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you're up next. I feel like this one is really easy.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Almost heaving West Virginia a mountain near. I mean, the
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: guy has a gun and he's playing against Morehead State,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: who was just a bird. I woulna take a mountain
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a mountaineer with a gun to beat a bird every time,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: So I'd make these odds minus ten thousands, like I'm
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: now near killing a bird. That's just time and practice.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: So for me, I love the odds. West Virginia's mascot
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: let something you are a hundred percent correct? Of course,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it's the guy with the shotgun. You went again. It's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: unkenny to me that you keep pulling these out in
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the last second. Here we go, Part five. The Action
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Network app is great, but it can always get better,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: so let's play Action app upgrades. The award winning Action
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Network app is great. It lets you track your bets,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: gives you real time win percentages on your picks. It's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: got betting tools, it lets you follow friends and experts
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to see what they're betting. It's incredible, but that doesn't
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: mean it can't get better in this segment, and your
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: job is to pitch me a brand new app future.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I don't care how expensive about Land is potentially dangerous
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: it might be as long as it moves the needle
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and helps us serve gamblers better. We also call this
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: this shameless promotion section. Simon, you're a first Definitely for me,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I would say the biggest thing with be something that
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: can help me when I'm underneath the influence of alcohol.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It's eleven thirty midnight. I've just seen the whole five
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: pizza and I mean and met ball sub and I
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: see the seventies sixes or minus seven against some terrible team,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, let's put a grand
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: on it. This feels good. And then you wake up
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the next morning You're just like, oh my god, why
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: did I just bet that amount of money on this
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: team that never covers as a favorite. So for me,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I would love if the action never I don't know
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: if it was like a breathalyzer or something, but something
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that establishes that I'm sober and clear minded while I
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: make this bet that would be a great update to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the app. Pretty good, Pretty good, Colin, you're one of
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the biggest followed experts in the app. You must have
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: a theory here. Well, First off, I disagree with Simon
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: because I think you should get achievement points and you
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: should unlock things when you're drunk and you go into breathalyzer.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Like you have achieved the ability to bet on a
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: YI football game at midnight, you have to be drunk
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to watch that and bet on it. One of the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: best ideas we could ever come up with is an
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: action bumble slash tender slash dating right where you hop
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: into the app a radius of fifty to a hundred
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: miles around you, you find other degenerates that want to gamble.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You left or right swipe them looking at squareness. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: want to bet against these people and take their money. Well,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: he looks sharp. I'm gonna swipe left. He looks sharp.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I'm swiped. Oh this guy, I can take his money.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: He's wearing the gear of the home team. I know
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: that he's gonna lay a stupid price. Action tender action bumble.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: But for de generates to get together and do peer
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to peer betting against each other. There's nobody who loves
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to judge people on the surface more than me. This
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: is an incredible, incredible idea, Alex. You gotta redeem yourself here, man,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to dumb and dumber, totally double up the gloves,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: redeem myself. Jack. You may get into a second strategic
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: partnership by the end of this ari e Gold pitch.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I just used it earlier. I talked about Chasing if
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you could partner with Chase Inc Organic with it to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: help people with lack of discipline. Not saying that's me,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying that's me. When you start opening up
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the live betting boom Chase protection, we don't want to
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: see you go broke, Chad. This is not only brilliant
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: your shark tank leaving money on the table right now.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: This could be sign seal and delivered by the end
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: of the week. I will make the necessary calls on
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a walk and talk until I closed the deal. I
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: won't sleep until I closed the deal. We gotta do
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a deal for responsible gaming to get people to stop betting.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? That is absolutely not what
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. First of all, I didn't hear anybody else
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: bring in a brand to give me a little parlay
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: two for one on a sales pitch. It could be
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a pop up, just letting people know. Like poor Simon
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: after a meatball sub, Hey man, do you really want
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to chase his sixers minus seven? Personally think this is
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: bur I'm gonna go out and prove you wrong and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: get them to say yes on this. If you don't
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: like the idea, chat, I'm gonna let you do that. Alex,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I am going to let you take this idea into
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the market when you when you sell it, I'm going
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to pay you big. I'm gonna let you get a
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: piece of the profits. The winner in this, of course,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: it's got to be Simon who doesn't want like action Breathalyzer.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It's it's brilliant. Collins was spectacular. I'll take this up
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: with the product development team. All right, this is the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: grand finale. Here is the current score. Colin is ahead
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: with ten points. Simon has eight points. Alex has five points.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But I have no idea at what point he actually got.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: So the topic right now is greatest of all time.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: How much would you like to risk? Please text your
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: wager amount to Matt Mitchell, you will wager from your
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: point total. Here's the question. A leve and sated Syracuse
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: is coached by Jim Behan, the longest tenure coach in
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: college basketball. The Orange promoted in the head coach on
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: April third, ninety six, just four days earlier in the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six and C Double A championship game. This team,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: considered by some to be the greatest college basketball team
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of all time, crushed Michigan has six pointed favorites. They
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: remain the last undefeated champions in college basketball history. Who
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: is this team? Text producer Matt Mitchell with your answer, Simon,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: tell me your wager and your answer. I wagered a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: eight points of course. Uh. And when U c l
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: A Are you serious? Yeah, you're wrong, you have. I
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: try to give you every point in the world and
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: yet you blow it. In Alex, your answer, it's the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: lusions in Neahusier, what did you wager? Since I'm half
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the man Colin is on this program, I wagered all
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: of it. All right, Listen, you've got ten points right now.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: If Colin did not wager at least one point or
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: he got the wrong answer somehow miraculously Alex Monico, He's
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: going to win this game. Colin, give me your wager.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Give me your answer. Well, Colin wagers seven points to
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: stay ahead of Simon from all of the pack. Twelve
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: flagging I've been getting in this whole entire episode. It
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: was quite a diversion by you, because this is a
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Chad Millman run podcast, and no Chad Millman run podcast
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: ends without an answer being Indiana basketball. So I like
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: how you started off with Jim Beheim and you try
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to like deflect with the year, but I know the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: answer is going to be Indiana because it's you. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: had it typed into Mitchell before you even finished Indiana
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: seven points. So a lot of obfuscation went with Syracuse
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: early on your hundred percent rights. Indiana University. They went
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: undefeated in nineteen seventy six. They beat their Big Ten
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: rival in Michigan in the championship game. That was a
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: legendary college basketball team. Of course, thematically, what is Gonzaga
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: trying to do. They're trying to finish the season undefeated
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and as n C double a college basketball champions All right, folks,
