  Speaker 1: all the board gaming books throughout the country as his
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: empire continues to grow. Mr Bob scoochee, my man, what's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: going on, Chad? Last week we were face to face.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We had Kevin on the phone because you knew nothing,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and so we just had a conference in Kevin from
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the Orleans who gave us every answer we needed. He
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was pretty good, by the way. And then afterwards you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and I do as like Vegas guys do. We went
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: out for dinner and you ordered a veal chop that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was the size of your fucking femur. Like it was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: so big. It was pretty big. I didn't know it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: going to be that big. I just saw a gal chop.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: How did I know it was going to be a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: monster shop? It was five pounds of veal shop and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you're like a California guy was like, would you order? Like?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I ordered the salmon pouquet, the salmon pouquet and uh,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and then I had some uh, some tuna tartar tacos, yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you ate like a bird. I don't like to eat
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: too much late at night, like right now, I am
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in UH, San Francisco, recording this from San Francisco from
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the Action Networks San Francisco offices, UM and UH. Last
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: night I went to dinner and we went to this
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: great old place in North Beach called Original Joe's, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Original Joe's like this great old Italian joint. Scuccy would
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: love this place. This place belongs in Vegas, right, And
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I had like the anti pasta, and I had the calamari,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and we had the meatballs, and I had a scotch
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and then for dinner, I had the veal palm that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: was like pounded to the size of the plate and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: smothered in like eight layers of cheese. And it was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it was downright delicious, but I couldn't eat it all.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you it gave me a little
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: bit of a belly ache, like in the middle of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the night. So I love San Francisco, and I made
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the mistake one night I was I was up there
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: with my wife and we ate out of place also
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: near North Beach called Forrenzy by night. So if you're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: up there, that's what they have, supposedly the best naukee
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in town. And we ate the giant plate and Yaki
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a bottle of wine some dessert, and me, like a genius, said,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it's only like a half a mile back to our hotel.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Let's walk back. Well, it was walking like straight uphill.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I swear. We both stopped at a bus stop just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to rest on a bench and it was cold. And yeah,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I love San Francisco. That is awesome. I was in
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: such bad shape this morning, just from all that food.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I walked into the restaurant at the hotel and I, um,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they said, would you like to sit down? No, I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just gonna get a bowl of oatmeal to go, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: like they were confused, and I called that. I pulled
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a total either boss move or convict move because I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: walked in and decided I didn't even want the oatmeal.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I took two pieces of bread like it was some
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of some of it was like buffet, took two pieces
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of bread, put him in the toaster, took a banana
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: at um and uh, then just walked out and like
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they weren't quite sure what is this guy doing. He's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: coming in, he's not sitting but he's taken the food.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Should we charge him? Does he own the place? Like?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Are we not charging him? Nobody stopped me, and I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just like, is it this easy to steal? Like I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: don't even understand what's happening right now, and like, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I would have felt bad if I didn't know that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I get for your breakfast at this place, because I'm
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: staying at the Hyatt. I have so many higher points
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that like I am full on, like grattis for everything
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: at the Hyatt, and so I wasn't getting charged for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: breakfast anyways, Otherwise I would have felt bad. But every
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: waiter was like a waiter came over to me instead
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of you being helped him like I'm good, and he
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just walked away, And like, so I was just the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: dude who stood at the toaster, took the bread, took
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the banana, and then walked out. That is funny, That's hilarious.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that? I think everyone's just wondering,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like does this guy even stay at the hotel? Seriously,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I could have just walked in off the street. That's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: exactly what I could have done. Listen, It's the only
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: thing I did right in the past. Because Scooch on Sunday,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I went, oh five and one. Oh. I uh, it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like I lost my principles. Somehow some dirt bag who's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: on this podcast with me that I do the Friday
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: episode with convinced me that the Colts were the right side.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So I bet the Colts, even though in my Pigskin
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: pick Them contest that I do every week with my
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: buddy Matt Rosenberg, h I chose the Jaguars, Like what
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the fuck? Why would I do that? I just felt like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, home dog, principle of the home dog, like overrated, undervalue,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Um. I then, like on Sunday morning,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I fired away on the Vikings, the over and the Browns.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So that was some losses. I pushed on
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins because I bet that number of four and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: lost out on the best of the number. Because that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: game close three and a half. Like, it couldn't have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: been uglier for me. There was no there was nothing
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: good happening for me. Yeah, there was a lot, I'll
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: tell you. There was a lot of surprises. And last
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: week it was one of our probably our second best
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Sunday of the year. We had a we had a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: good one. But uh, it was a good week for us.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And you had the Jags. That was the big one.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That was the Cardinals, Cardinals over the Packers. The fact
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that they not just covered but won the game straight
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: up and killed money lines and teasers, that that was
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the big one. And the Chiefs didn't cover. That was
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they didn't cover. That was good. But we have a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: bunch back on the late games though New England and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Seattle both late we split two and two. We got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the cover with the Jets over the Titans, and we
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: got the cover with the Raiders. Uh in in those
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: late games, but the bigger games everyone had New England.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: We needed Minnesota as you did, and we needed San
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Francisco and they were never really in it. But uh,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and then the Rams. The Rams was a bad game.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I really thought Detroit would get the cover there. We
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: had some bet we had some bad games, but overall,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just those those two big upsets, the Jags over the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Colts and the Cardinals over the Packers really kind of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: set the day for us. God, all you can do
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: is scoots, you know what. All you can do someone
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like me, all you can do is turn the page,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: turn page. Wow, the little Bob Seeger Bana banana bana banana. Yeah. Nah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's the right tune. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: know in my head it sounds like that's the saxophone. Yeah,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the saxophone starts out and then yeah, turned the page.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Bob Seger. Underrated, underrated, very underrated. What do we think
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of this Thursday night game? The Jacksonville jag yours traveling
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: in the Tennessee Titans to play on Thursday Night Football
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: With the Tennessee Titans as four point favorites. I think
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: too many people are going to give the Jags a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: lot of credit for the wind against the Colts, and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: then they're gonna get a little overconfident. And uh, we
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: still made the Titans a little high. We made the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Titans four and a half, and I'm actually tempted to
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: even go up a little bit higher on this one.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I know that Titans looked terrible, but I think this
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is a game they want to get, so I don't know. Uh,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the money, the money is kind of right now, probably
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a little heavier on the Titans, but nothing serious from
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the sharp guys yet. Kind of about a three to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: one ratio Titans to Jack's um shouldn't be a real
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: high handled game kind of a but because it's on
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, we'll still get some still get some interest.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: The Uh. I like the Titans in this game. And
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I think that this is a team. You know, they
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: won that Jets game and that was pretty impressive the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: way they did that, and so, uh, they sort of realized,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: wait a second, we're losing to the Jets and then
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they score, you know, is it twentyts? Um? They asked
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to six in h after they're down sixteen and nothing. Um.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: That was the team that you know, they just sort
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of played like they know how to play. And I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: do agree, like the Jack's got up for the Colts
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: they were at home because the team that was red hot.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: This is a regression to the mean game. If you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: know what, I wait for it, wait for it. Yeah yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, you get it. I do.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I do. I was waiting for it. I felt it coming. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I agree with it. We're gonna stay We're gonna try
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and stay high on the Titans on this one. Um
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and uh, but but I think we'll get pretty good
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: two way. It won't be a lotsided game only because
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: these two teams are still you know, they they're not.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: They don't draw a whole lot of action regardless of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: who they played. So here's an interesting one. Los Angeles Rams. Ah,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: this is a Tuesday Sunday night game. Los Angeles Rams
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: are three point favorites over the chic Hargo Bears at home.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Do you even have this game up right now? We do.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: We got I mean, uh, we're we're got it in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a circle, meaning kind of half half the normal limits. Uh,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: but just waiting to see if Traubinsky is gonna play.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But we're we're gonna be We're really close to go
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: into three and a half. We're at three minus a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: quarter right now, and we're probably just gonna go to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: three and a half. And uh, I mean that's just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: every ticket is just on Rams. Rams. We have almost
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: nothing on the Bears on this game. So we're gonna
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: go to three and a half and then if it
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: comes out that um Traubinsky is playing, then we'll probably
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: go back down to three. But I just think it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: just gonna be a whole Rams money from here on out.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: So not that big of a difference between Trubisky and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Chase Daniel in terms of the point spread. No, no,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not no, not right now. I mean, uh, I mean
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Daniel played pretty good and uh he drove the ball down.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's against the Giant, but he's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it's not like he's just coming right off the bench
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: having not played at all. So there's not going to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: be too much of a too much of a drop
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: off here. That's not good for Mr Robiskie's confidence to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: know that essentially Vegas thinks of him is no better
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: than Chase Daniel. Well, three is a big I mean,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you know, three is a big numbers. So going from
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: three and a half down to three, maybe even two
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and a half, it's not like it's not a significant move.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty big move. Listen, you don't have to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: explain key numbers to me, all right. Practically, I practically
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: invented the point spread. Practically Practically, if I were eighty
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: years older and living in Vegas at the time and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: thought about sports betting, I would have been the guy
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: who invented the point spread. You would have believe that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you're an action guy. I practically invented coverage of sports betting, Scooch.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I should be in the Sports Betting Hall of Fame.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, you gotta we'll wait five years
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: after you retire. That's the criteria. If if, if you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: had a vote for the Sports Betting Hall of Fame,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: would be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Yeah, right now,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you do have a vote for the Sports Betting Hall
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of Fame because you and I are the only ones
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: who get to decide who you were, the only ones
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that I'm voting you in, So I guess it's unanimous.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: See that's what I'm talking about. I will buy you
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a veal shop. You already did for that. I had
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to convince you to put me in the Sports Betting
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Uh, Carolina, this is a great one.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Carolina Cleveland, Carolina on the road, one and a half
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: point favorite, getting sixty percent of the money and seventy
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of the action. Talk to me, Scooch, I don't want
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to need the Browns. I actually moved this game to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: two and a half a couple of hours ago off
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of no money zero. Just went from yeah, yeah, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: just explain this to go ahead. This This seems surprising.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Brown The Browns are terrible. That's all you need to know.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Panthers are not great, but you can't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: over adjust on the last couple of games. Uh, this
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: line should really be at least two and a half.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love Carolina here. I know that you have
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to bet the home dogs, and I know, uh, Cleveland
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: is getting better, but you know, they just they're still Cleveland.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And then just when you think they're starting to turn
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that corner, they just you know, they lay an egg
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like like last week, and um, I mean I know
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: they were playing a good team, but uh, I just
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: do not want to need the Browns. If I go down,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be going down by the sharp guys taking
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Cleveland on this one, because I'm not. I'm not going down,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: uh on Carolina. I want to I want to need
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I want to need Carolina. You haven't seen enough out
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of Cleveland to say, you know what, at home they're better.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is allowed to have a hiccup game like
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: this is a team that's competitive. You're not feeling that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: about Cleveland. You're not feeling You're You're still looking at
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: them as if they are the old Cleveland I am,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm still looking at Carolina as they're not as
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: bad as as everyone's making them out to be now
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and they're they're not that bad of a team. They
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: had a hiccup too, And in this one, I think
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it's telling that absolutely nobody's taken the Browns even at
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: plus two and a half. I went from one to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: two and a half, a one and a half point
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: line move. And I don't think there's any other two
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and a half a round I could check, but I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: think we're the highest at two and a half and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: nobody's taken the Browns. Wow. Really, I gotta tell you,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in this Panther's team at all. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: if this game keeps going up, I would take the Browns. Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta have a strong stomach, which you do,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: but I just I don't want to need the Browns here.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Is there anything statistically that leads you to that or
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: is it just you don't like the way they look like?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Is this you know you know he's got that. No,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it's just the eye test, and it's just worth the money.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I'm booking to money. I'm not handy. I'm not so
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: much handicapping the game. I just I'm feeling what the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: public is going to feel on this one, and uh,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they're just gonna come in on on the Panthers. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: want to be as high as I can go to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: where the sharp guys will say, hey, this is the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: point we think the mine should be. So at one,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the sharp guys weren't taking Cleveland. At two, they weren't
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: taking Cleveland at two and a half. They're not taking Cleveland.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're waiting for three. And if that's the case,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: then then two and a half three is the right number.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: But in the psychological battle with betters, daring them, yeah, yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: well I want to know. I mean, the professional handicappers
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: are you know, they're very good at what they do.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: They'll let me know what the right line should be.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And and one isn't the right line. I like what
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you're doing. I like this is you know what You
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: once wrote a book called the Odds that was really
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: about the psychological play between bookmakers and professional betters. And
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're giving a lesson on this. People
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: should go give away too much and they should get
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you to sign it. They've done that quite a few times.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints eight point favorites on the road at
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Everything's coming in on the Saints. Uh, everything everything, Yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the public, everything, but now just just the opposite of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the Browns. At least this game. The sharp guys are taking.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: The bucketeers took a few eight thousand, ten thousand dollar
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: bets on the Buccaneers, so uh balanced this one pretty well.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Most of that money was at plus eight and a half,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit at plus eight, and then the public,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like you said, everyone else is going to be on
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: on the Saints on this one. This is a big
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: number to lay on the road. We've talked about the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Saints all year on laying these big numbers on the road,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and you know they've been getting there quite a bit
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: with the exception of last week in Dallas. But uh,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: this is another real big number to lay against a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: team that can put up a lot of points. So
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers is probably the more value at
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: plus eight here. I'm gonna stick to my principles this
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: week and I'm going to pick the Buccaneers. I'm just
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: saying would too. Yeah, yeah, Indianapolis, the hot used to
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: be hot Colts against the red, smoking hot Houston Texans
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: on the road in Houston. Uh, minus four and a half.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: M You know, when I put this up, I was
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: expecting a little Yeah, this number is too low. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: like the Texans here too, waiting. I was waiting. I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: was waiting for the uh, the sharp guys to weigh in,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and they haven't yet, so it's just all public money
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: on the Texans. I'm actually gonna go I'm gonna go
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to five right now. I just went to five. But
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I can see this number creeping up, I think. I mean,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: this is probably the biggest um ratio of bets from
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: one team to the other. They're about eleven to one
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: clip with us. I don't know what you're you're showing
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: on your You're handy dandy app, but uh, you recognize
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: our app. That's so nice. Well, I was sitting in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the studio and I got to see firsthand that's right,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that's right where about Houston. This is the most lopsided
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: game on the board, so it doesn't hurt to be
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on the high side on this one. So I could
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: see this number creeping up five and a half. At six,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I could see the wise guys taking the Colts plus six. Um.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: But right now they're they're not They're not touched. You know.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I like where you're going with this game. I might
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: have to bet the Texas New York Giants three and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a half over the Redskins. I mean, what do you
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: do with this game? Do you even have this game
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: up right now? We have it up? Uh? Yeah, I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: know the Redskins are trying to get another fourth string,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: fifth string quarterback. You know, they're down to down to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. Now. The good thing for us is that
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: nobody has confidence in the in the Giants either, So uh,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it's not like we're gonna get you know, buried on
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: public money on this one. We hardly have any bets
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: at all. We opened at three and a half. We
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: went to four actually just on just on no money. Um,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and I could probably go up a little bit higher,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm not going to yet. I just want to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: wait it out and see, uh see if the wise
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: guys weigh in on this one. But there's not gonna
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: be much action on the on this one, kind of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: public doesn't. They've been off the Giants for a while,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and now that the Redskins don't have a quarterback, they're
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not going to really uh, they're not really gonna want
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to touch this game this next game. I agree. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: want to move on from this game. The next game
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the Ravens at the Chiefs. This line has moved a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: massive amount. It opened at nine, now it's down to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: six and a half. Give me some insight here, like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: this can't be kareem hunt. No no. Um. So yeah,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: we took a ton of money on this one that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: we probably took more money on this one. Uh, pretty
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: even with another game that we'll get to. But we
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: probably took more money on this one than than any
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: other game on the board. Um. We we knew we'd
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: be a little high just to offset some of the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: parlay money, but I didn't expect it to go down, uh,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: down to six and a half. We're still sitting at
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: seven by the way. Um, and I've taken a little
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a little money at plus seven, but not enough to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: get me off of that number. Since we opened it
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: up so high, I don't want to really cross over
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: into six and a half because I do think it
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: will come back up. I think I think the I
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: think the public money will drive it up. But I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: could see the wise guys seeing a little bit of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: value in the plus eight and a half. Plus seven
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and a half. Um, it's a big number for a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: team that has has a good defense, so that that's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: what they're seeing in this um and and Baltimore can
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: put up points. So UM, I I understand the move,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: but not not down to six and a half. No,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: too much? Too much? Yep, too much. Bob Scucci, h
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Green Bay coach lists well, McCarthy list at least five
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites at home against the Atlanta Falcons.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, the Packers play anybody else this week,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and that number is not moving up because it opened
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: it four. But they happen to be playing a team
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that's thinks that um nobody has it, has any faith
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: in and maybe they'll think like Aaron Rodgers is feeling
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: unleashed from you know, the chains of McCarthy. Did you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: open it four and moved this out for what happened? No,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: we opened it. We opened it at six, and the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: first bet out of the gate was the Falcons at
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: plus the six, but not quite enough to move it
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: to five and a half. And then since then we
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: haven't really taken too much. Uh take accounts slightly higher
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: on the Packers, but but not by much. It'll be
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how they react. You know, every team
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: reacts differently when they you know, let go of key
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: coaching staff members, and especially mid mid season. I think
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in this case it's probably a boost to the morale
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to most of the skilled players. I think, uh so.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I I think they'll show show a pretty good performance
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: in this one. Like you said, the fact that it's
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the Falcons um the Packers are gonna draw a lot
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of money from the from the public. But I do
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: think the sharp guys like the Falcons plus at least
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: plus six. Do you think that Josh Allen is the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: most intriguing and mystifying player in professional football right now?
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: The Bills are three and happen his favorites at home
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: against the Jets, and this guy he keeps the Bills
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in games. He's clearly a horrible quarterback, and yet he's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: keeping the Bills. He's like the Tim Tebow of two. Yeah,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it's funny to see those guys. I mean, it's interact thing. Yeah,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I agree with you that it's very intriguing to see
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: certain guys with just the style of play. It's like
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: almost the defenses really don't know what to do with them.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: There's something sometimes you're so unorthodox that it's hard to
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: get a game plan to really contain. So in that sense,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: you have horrible games and you have great games. I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: think in the long term you probably have more bad
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: games and good ones. But in this case, I think
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: these teams are very evenly matched. I don't I think
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we'll definitely get more money on on the Bills just
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: because they're uh they're the favorites third home and uh um.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: But but I think I don't think the line will
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: move too much. I think the sharp guys will probably
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: take more at plus three and a half and Public
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: will lay the three and a half. But I don't
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: think we'll see much movement on the game. Mm hmm.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Do you like game? No? I don't, because like who
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: can who can trust the Jets? And while the Bills
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: have really outperformed at home, I'm just not gonna put
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: money on Josh Allen. Meanwhile, this next game, it's like
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you guys always do this, You always do this. It's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like you make the other side of a vikings of
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a of a Patriots game so enticing. Are you kidding
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: me that you're giving me seven and a half points?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You're giving the Dolphins seven and a half points like
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: they're playing well Man and Ryan Tannell is playing great
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: as a starter, not great, but like keeping his team
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in it. The Dolphins tend to play the Patriots tough.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You're giving me a hook, like, I don't know, brother, Yeah,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: we we We put up these numbers every time to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: try and draw money on the other side of the Patriots,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and we say that the number is inflated and you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: have to bet the dog, and yet the Patriots just
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: keep covering and covering, and uh we This is this
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: when I talked earlier about the game that has the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: most money on it, and I said, the Ravens have
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the most money of any other team. It's really close
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: between them and the Dolphins, because this was the other
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: game I was referring to. We've taken a ton on
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins from the sharp guys only. Uh at plus
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: eight plus seven and a half, we're still at seven
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and a half. And we're taking a lot of money
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: at plus seven and a half. And this will just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: offset all that parlay money that's gonna be coming in
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: on the Patriots. We're already seeing about a three to one,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: four to one ratio Patriots tickets to Dolphins tickets. Um,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: but you know this will be the game that uh
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: comes Sunday, We're still gonna need the Dolphins, even though
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: we're taking so much money on them. I wish um
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: this is a game along with I've already picked out
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: my games here, like allegedly, I'm gonna bet Tampa allegedly,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet Miami, Allegedly, I'm gonna bet Tennis. Chad
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is making a bet all allegedly allegedly allegedly. Do we
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: think that Denver Broncos are good enough to be five
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites on the road at San
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: franci the Skill, Yeah, unfortunately. Uh, you know, you have
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to take a lot of those home dogs, especially getting
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: more than a field goal. But when you get teams
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: like the Raiders and the Cardinals and the Niners, I mean,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals came up big for us last week. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: don't know how many more games we could expect that
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: of some of these bad teams. But this is another
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: game that I would liken to that uh Carolina Cleveland
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Browns game where it's hard to need the Niners. I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: think the wise guys will take the points in this one. Yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of points. The public is all over
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the Broncos in this one, so I could see, I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: could see this line going up to six. I'm not
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: going to bet it. Yeah, it's a tough one. I mean,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I would probably bet the Niners before I bet the Browns,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't like it. That is stupid, That is stupid.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: The Browns are a better team. They are a better
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: team in every single way. There's nothing There is just
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: nothing good about the Niners right now. Like I like
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: their coach, their snake bit the last two years, They're
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: just not a good team. It was like you're telling
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: me Baker Mayfield and that defense do not have a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: shot against the Panthers. I am going to bet that
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: fucking game. This is my week to come back to
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: me with confidence. All right, another one that I'm gonna bet.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I am hitting so many games this week. I am
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: betting the Los Angeles Chargers as two touchdown favorites against
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. This Bengals team is hot, dumpster fire, train wreck, lost,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: can't get out of their own way. The Chargers are
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: on a roll. I think they had that one hiccup
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: against the Broncos where I happened to bet him his
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: touchdown favorites at home. Give me the uh Chargers. You're
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: gonna lay that big number. Wow, you know it's fourteen
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and a half with us. You're laying a bad number
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: with us. Well, then I'm not going to do it
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: with you for this show. You've got to take our number. Well,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I don't like fourteen and a half. I don't like
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it at fourteen and a half. So the sharp guys,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, they are all over the plus
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: fourteen and a half. Yeah, we are who decided they
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: were sharp. They lose to just you know, they just
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: win more than they lose. Doesn't mean that they never lose,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: it's my point. Yeah, but we've taken some pretty sizeable
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: bets on on the Bengals. It's probably the fourth biggest game.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: So they like the fourteen and a half. I don't
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: know if they like fourteen. I haven't gone there yet,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: but that's a big number. That is a huge number.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: But I can't believe you're getting a lot of action
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: on that. That seems astonishing to me. Um, you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: it's only really seven bets, but they were pretty sizeable bets.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Well that changes things a little bit, Yeah, okay, that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: really does It changes things for me a lot um.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: It's not like it's it's not like it's you know, yeah, no,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: there's are just not They're not like betting hand over fist.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: It's just a few professional betters that see some value
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: at the plus fourteen and a half. You know, maybe
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: milmancies value at the minus fourteen. Obviously you do. They
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: call him the Millie Monster, the what the Millie Monster?
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: They also call him what does that mean? It's not
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: gonna cut it. It doesn't feel that's not how we
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: played chess. What does that mean? We don't get it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Millie monster like Millman. But I'm a monster yet I'm
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: cute and cuddly, So I'm the Millie Monster. Okay, got you? Uh?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Last night, I you know, I'm in San Francisco, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: like we were at this dinner and then I got
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: back to the hotel. By the time you get back
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: to the hotel, I like, I left my house yesterday
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: at four o'clock in the morning, So I get back
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: to my hotel, it's like midnight. After it's almost one
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning East Coast time. I turned on
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the TV for a few minutes. I just need to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: veg and I turned on Seinfeld on TBS or whatever.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: And it's one of the episodes where George is trying
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: to convince everybody that his new nickname should be t Bone,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Remember that one, And like he spends the whole show
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: like some other guy like gets the nickname t Bone
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: at his office like by accident. And I feel like
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to convince you that Millie Monster is the
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: right nickname for me. How about middle monster, middle monster?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Call me middle monster from now on, because I know
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: how to middle things. All right, I'll call you M
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: squared for middle Monster. Now, I think you're making a
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: pun and sort of making fun of me and in
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: a deep dark way saying I'm square. That's exactly it.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should call you squeech square che You couldn't
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: even come up with anything me. What do you think
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: of that? Robert, Yeah, call me Robert square ch and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: M squared. That's a podcast that we can name it
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that the square ch and M squared podcast. That'll get
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of listeners. It sounds like SpongeBob SquarePants ship.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: You just swore you never swear. No, you got me going.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: You're so mad about my nickname, like you're angry about it. Yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. You're ridiculous. Your face is ridiculous. Detroit minus
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: two and a half on the road at Arizona. Oh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: nobody cares about this one, Absolutely nobody. Corner TV moving on, Yep,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh eleven points on the road at Oakland. You have
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to take the Raiders double digit dog at home. Uh.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I think we'll get some pretty good, surprising two way
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: action on this one. And the fact that the Steelers
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: came up short against the Chargers when everybody was trying
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to get out on the late game Sunday night, they
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: got burned by the Steelers. So now to lay double
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: digits on the road, even against a really, really bad team,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: at least it will slow the public down just a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: little bit, just enough so that this, you know, won't
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: be the monster game that it normally would have been,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: so that that kind of saved us a little bit. Uh.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: But but at eleven, I think the sharp guys will
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: come in on it, and I think this number comes
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: down a little bit. I'm gonna hit Oakland. Yeah, I'm
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: gonna hit him with the hind. I mean, Oakland's playing
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: back to back games where they're getting double Digits at home. Um,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: they put up a pretty good fight against Kansas City,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: So there's uh nothing. You know, it's not unheard of
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: that they keep this game real close. The million Monster
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: is going to come in hot on the Raiders. Maybe
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I like it, don't mock them Millie Monster Cooys. All
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, we got a game in the NFC East.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: We got a game that has serious implications, a Sunday
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: afternoon game. Whoa, it's gonna be exciting. This feels like
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: a Joe Buck Yeah, this is gonna be a Joe
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Buck Troy Agman game right here. It's gonna feel like,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: you know, for this generation, like summer all in madd
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and did for you and me tell me about the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Cowboys is three and a half point favorites at home
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles with first place on the line
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: in the NFC Beast. Yeah, well, I mean both teams
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: just kind of the they're ups and downs. This year
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: just makes this game so much more intriguing because at
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: one point in the year you you wrote off both teams.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: You know, early on people were writing off the Cowboys,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: and later on they were writing off the Eagles, and
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: now both teams were just kind of uh set for
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a dog by here is this is what you would
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: expect from from an Eagles Cowboys game. I think three
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: and a half it's probably the right number, although they'll
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: will get buried on Cowboys money here. I think the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: sharp guys will come in on the Eagles, but I
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: don't think we'll see much movement on the game. I mean,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: we'll see a few fours pop up on the Cowboys,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: largely from money, and I think the Sharps will kind
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: of keep us in mind and keep knocking that line
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: back down to three and a half. What would you do?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I tend Cowboys right now only because they're they're they're
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: playing a little bit better. Um. I mean the Eagles really,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: they're start. They have a really tough schedule this year,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: obviously coming off to the Super Bowl win. But they're
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: not They're not quite the same team, and they're they're
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: still trying to find their way there. They have their
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: moments of brilliance, but there's more downside than upside. I
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: tend to go Cowboys here. I do too, and they
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: showed their metal with the Saints for sure. Listen, M
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Squared probably thinks it's going to be the Eagles, but
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I think the Millie Monster is all in on the Cowboys.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: How are you going to be that, Scooch? You're the bookmaker.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: You gotta know what the sharp guys are doing. You
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: got two very sharp guys coming at you from opposite
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: sides of this game. Yeah, you just you just went
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: skits are friendy on me? You're like, you're on both half.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: He was on one side and half to be on
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: the other. If you and I did an album together
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: and we were like a seventies rock band or we
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: were recreating spinal Tap, we would call the album Schizophrenia.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I like it. How great would that be? If we
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: went on the road. Yeah, band you and me, buddy
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: on the road. I'm lead singer. I'm just saying right now,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I'm already in a band, band of what thieves stealing
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the unsuspecting betters. No, I got my little band and
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: played like on Wednesday nights. You know, we get together.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Scooch, Well, I've known you for twenty years. Yeah,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: we've never you're we've never I was at your wedding.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: We've never talked about you being in a band. Wait wait, wait,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: this did come up at your wedding. There was a
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: speech about this at your wedding, Yes there was. There
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: was tell her listeners about your musicianship. I've never taken
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: a lesson. I just I went and bought a guitar
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: about ten years ago, just kind of learned how to
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: play some chords. Got together with a couple of guys
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: that have taken some lessons, and we just get together
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and we we play songs every week, and sometimes we
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: write original stuff, and uh we sometimes we posted on YouTube.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we don't. No, you want me to tell you
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the name of the band, All right, let me first
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: let me let me preface this by saying that we
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: goof on ourselves, which means we don't take ourselves serious.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: So it was meant to be kind of tongue in cheek.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: We we are the Scootles s k O O t
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: l E S. What is that? This is like a
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: separate podcast? COO? I know, I know. What does the
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Scootles mean? Well, because we're all Beatles fans and we
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: played a lot of Beatles cover stuff, and two of
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: us in the bands are Scootchies, so we just kind
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: of merged the Scoochies with the Beatles and came up
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: with Scootles. Why don't you call your songs that the
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: square Dolls because or the m square Dolls. Who sings
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: in this band? I do shure ha ha ha. Oh no,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: oh no, this isn't happening. Oh my god, Oh my god. Yeah,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Matt Ford, are you listening to this? What are we
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: gonna do about this? All right? Everyone go on YouTube
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and look for the Scootles with Bob Scucci as your
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: lead singer and lead guitar. Yeah, yeah, hey, just remember
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I never took any lessons, so it's it's
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: meant to be kind of a kind of a goof.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But I did write a couple of what I thought
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: were pretty good songs, and and we produced them ourselves too,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: so forty ye. I feel like we need to have
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: some lead in music for next week on. That's what
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I was like. I think the Scooch music needs to change.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you walked into this one, buddy watch. I
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: kept it a secret for years. I bring it out
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: in people. You did you mentioned the band? Uh? You
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: got me? You're Hubris got the best of you because
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we should get together in the band.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking like you're in a mullet wig and
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, probably in like a sweater vest,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, para pumas and we get out there
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: and we jam and you're already doing it. Yeah, yeah,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: are you playing in a bar? Where are you playing? Now?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: We played a couple of places. I'm not gonna say.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say, We're gonna find out the Scootles
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: featuring Robert Scucci Scooch Seattle minus three and a half
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: on the road. Boy, these poor Vikings on the at home,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I mean against the Vikings too well, two teams in
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: opposite directions here and and the Vikings are just kind
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: of on the skids down and and people are absolutely
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: loving the Seahawks right now. They're one of the most
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: popular teams, uh for our betters to bet. So were
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: we opened three on this, we're already up to three
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: and a half. And the money's coming in heavy, even
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: at even at minus three and a half. So I
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised to see this game uh close at four.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Monday night game. I see it
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: all going one way. I don't see the sharp guys
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: taken enough for the three and a half to make
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: this come down so that this line just keeps going up. Uh.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Here's my impression of Bob Scucci, lead singer of the Scootles,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: as we transition into Scooch Roulette. So people are going
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: to get to lead in in Music's here okay lead
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: in songs? Um, here we go. There are places I remember,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: like the star dust on the Vaguest It. It gave
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: me so much pleasure to take their money and write
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the book The Odds. That was pretty good to take
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: a nice Beatles song, one of my favorite, by the way,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: and actually improvise and make some lyrics. That was I'm impressed.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that you love that song because you
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: are deep down you are sentimental, and that is like,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: it's a beautiful song, and that this kind of song
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: in my life, I can't imagine. Like, you listen to
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: that song, you get weepy, You think about things in
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: your life, you think about the passage of time. Oh
