- 0:15Speaker 1: Brady statue the Patriots unveiled recently. We'll talk about that.
- 0:18Speaker 2: What intrigues you the most about Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's
- 0:22Speaker 2: cringeworthy eyes closed throw that led to one of the
- 0:27Speaker 2: most humiliating interceptions you'll ever see. And Todd McShay, the
- 0:31Speaker 2: noted NFL draft guru, recently came out opposed to the
- 0:36Speaker 2: proposed Ohio ban on prop bets, arguing that making prop
- 0:41Speaker 2: bets illegal would simply drive betters to engage in riskier
- 0:45Speaker 2: alternatives in the illegal gambling space. Do you agree or disagree?
- 0:52Speaker 2: We'll talk about that as well. Right now here it

- 2:12Speaker 2: be so our lead this hour from the Commonwealth, from
- 2:17Speaker 2: the com Wealth over the weekend and a Gallas ceremony,
- 2:22Speaker 2: they being the Patriots who unveiled this gigantic bronze statue
- 2:28Speaker 2: of Tom Brady which will forever immortalize Brady unless he
- 2:34Speaker 2: does something wrong, and then they'll knock it down like
- 2:35Speaker 2: they were doing five years ago.
- 2:37Speaker 1: They'll knock the statue down.
- 2:38Speaker 2: But for now we're going to assume that the Brady
- 2:40Speaker 2: statue is gonna be there forever. Of course, ever was
- 2:43Speaker 2: a relative term outside the team's Hall of fame there
- 2:46Speaker 2: at Patriot Place. So if you didn't see this statue
- 2:50Speaker 2: or hear about it, maybe you missed it over the weekend.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Perhaps you were not paying attention.
- 2:55Speaker 2: This is a giant monstrosity.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It is now.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Brady said he felt extremely honored, deeply, deeply grateful, and
- 3:05Speaker 2: kind of old as he wore his white pants, a
- 3:10Speaker 2: sign that you're very wealthy. You don't see poor people
- 3:13Speaker 2: in white pants unless they're painting. Unless they're painting.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And then you had owner of Robert Kraft. He was
- 3:19Speaker 1: all giddy, all excited. You know, no massages at least,
- 3:23Speaker 1: we didn't see any massages there.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Eighty four Robert Craft beaming with pride, beaming with pride.
- 3:29Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question where are you at
- 3:34Speaker 2: on this new ginormous Tom Brady statue, which was recently unveiled.
- 3:40Speaker 2: So I've got bird brains, Johnny Knoxville, and FBI agents,
- 3:48Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 3:51Speaker 2: we will make a peanut butter and.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Jelly peeb and j with delicious bread.
- 3:57Speaker 2: We're gonna cut it down the not the cross the middle,
- 4:00Speaker 2: down sideways, and then that's.
- 4:02Speaker 1: What we're gonna do, all right.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So to kick off here though, talking about the Tom
- 4:05Speaker 2: Brady statue.
- 4:07Speaker 1: We looked at this thing and immediately immediately.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Thought, this is something we expect to see if we ever,
- 4:16Speaker 2: if they ever open up North Korea and we visit
- 4:19Speaker 2: North Korea, we'd expect to see something like this in
- 4:21Speaker 2: North Korea. It's the great leader of Foxborough. There, he
- 4:26Speaker 2: stuns overall. Now, the only thing missing, and I didn't
- 4:30Speaker 2: see the whole ceremony. I watched a big chunk of
- 4:32Speaker 2: it on the YouTube. The only thing that was missing
- 4:34Speaker 2: was a parade with tanks. We needed like a parade
- 4:39Speaker 2: with tanks. There should have been people bowing at the
- 4:43Speaker 2: statue and holding flowers to the Tom Brady statue, a
- 4:48Speaker 2: totalitarian vibe.
- 4:51Speaker 1: When I looked at the statue, the size of it,
- 4:54Speaker 1: it's a size thing, and we half expected a marching
- 4:58Speaker 1: band to prefer form there and some kind of synchronized
- 5:02Speaker 1: clapping to the almighty Leader Tom Brady. Now it's a
- 5:08Speaker 1: nice statue. I'm not a statue guy. I'm not.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I admit that I'm not a statue guy. This thing
- 5:15Speaker 2: is huge, li much little much. How big is it?
- 5:20Speaker 2: I'll tell you now. The early report said that Tom
- 5:23Speaker 2: Brady statue was twelve feet tall. However, after further investigation,
- 5:29Speaker 2: that is misleading. The reason that that's misleading when you
- 5:35Speaker 2: include the raised fist of the totalitarian leader of the Patriots,
- 5:40Speaker 2: Tom Brady. When you include the raised fist, the actual
- 5:45Speaker 2: figure goes up to fourteen and a half feet. But wait,
- 5:50Speaker 2: there's more. So it's standing overall height, not twelve feet,
- 5:56Speaker 2: not fourteen and a half feet. How about seventeen feet
- 6:01Speaker 2: in the sky, because you have to add a two
- 6:04Speaker 2: and a half foot granted base. The entire structure the
- 6:09Speaker 2: Tom Brady statue weighs over six tons. Yes, seventeen feet tall,
- 6:19Speaker 2: six tons. The statue itself is eighteen hundred pounds and
- 6:24Speaker 2: the base is ten five hundred pounds. So I've did
- 6:28Speaker 2: some male of math on this. It is thirty seven.
- 6:32Speaker 2: That's a prime number. We learned that last hour. Thirty seven,
- 6:35Speaker 2: Vince Wilforks, is how much the Tom Brady statue a waste.
- 6:39Speaker 2: And when you take a couple of steps back, this
- 6:43Speaker 2: is where the Patriots find themselves at at this point
- 6:46Speaker 2: in time. They are in the memory lane part of
- 6:51Speaker 2: the franchise arc. That's where they are when the team
- 6:55Speaker 2: is good You celebrate the players on the field, you
- 6:58Speaker 2: celebrate the success you're having. When the team is bad,
- 7:04Speaker 2: you build statues, is what you do. You wouldn't do
- 7:08Speaker 2: that if you were busy.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Winning, but you do that. Yeah, why not.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Is there a rush to build a Tom Brady statue? Well,
- 7:14Speaker 2: the team blows, so yes, there's a rush to build
- 7:17Speaker 2: a Tom Brady statue. And that's what you do when
- 7:19Speaker 2: you're bad. You start building monuments to the past because
- 7:22Speaker 2: there's nothing to sell in the present and the future
- 7:25Speaker 2: doesn't look all that good now. Drake May is a
- 7:28Speaker 2: bit of a wild card. Patriots think they have the guy.
- 7:31Speaker 2: He hasn't proven he's the guy. And Mike Rabel from Patriots'
- 7:36Speaker 2: days gone by, solid coach, floundering roster, and so you're
- 7:43Speaker 2: celebrating past greatness and the presence a bit of a disaster.
- 7:48Speaker 2: You know who else is also celebrating the Tom Brady statue.
- 7:52Speaker 2: That would be the bird brains, the bird brains, the pigeons,
- 7:57Speaker 2: the seagulls and every other bird. I'm sure there's some
- 8:01Speaker 2: exotic birds out there in Massachusetts and the surrounding states.
- 8:06Speaker 1: There in all of New England.
- 8:08Speaker 2: That are like, hey, it's a big day for us here.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Thank you for that seventeen foot bronze perch. Now we
- 8:17Speaker 2: have not seen it since the unveiling.
- 8:19Speaker 1: It is likely though it.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Is already a bird toilet, and that if not, it's
- 8:26Speaker 2: going to be within the next couple of weeks.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Right, the birds will do what birds do. And I
- 8:31Speaker 1: don't know, Tom Brady.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Lapdogs are out there and they're gonna worship the statue.
- 8:36Speaker 2: It's like some kind of religious deity, the Tom Brady statue.
- 8:41Speaker 1: How are you going to admit it?
- 8:42Speaker 2: I mentioned North Korea, maybe a little Soviet back in
- 8:46Speaker 2: the day, big shiny towering, seventeen and a half feet
- 8:50Speaker 2: up in the air, six tons over. The peasants who
- 8:54Speaker 2: will come by and look at the statue as they
- 8:57Speaker 2: walk in to the stadium, all hail Tom Brady and
- 9:02Speaker 2: his white pants. Yes, so you want to see something
- 9:07Speaker 2: like that, you can either go to Pyongyang, Moscow, or
- 9:10Speaker 2: you can go to Foxborough. All right, now, furthermore, we
- 9:15Speaker 2: heading to the Valley of the Sun. We react to
- 9:17Speaker 2: a viral moment in a practice football game, not a
- 9:21Speaker 2: real game, not a real game, practice football game. The
- 9:24Speaker 2: little fella fun sized quarterback alligator arms Kyler Murray. Kyler
- 9:30Speaker 2: Murray had the single worst throw of the weekend.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Now I didn't watch this game Chiefs and Cardinals. I
- 9:39Speaker 1: did see the clip, and I'm even if I had
- 9:42Speaker 1: not seen any of the game, in which I didn't
- 9:44Speaker 1: and not paid any attention, you guys made sure Ben.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Did you see what your your guy? Did you see
- 9:49Speaker 1: what he did?
- 9:50Speaker 3: Oh?
- 9:50Speaker 1: My god?
- 9:50Speaker 2: He sucked there going on and on and on all right,
- 9:54Speaker 2: so he went viral.
- 9:55Speaker 1: If you didn't see it or hear about it, maybe not,
- 9:57Speaker 1: maybe you're blind.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Kyler Murray tried to go all Patrick Mahomey against the Chiefs.
- 10:02Speaker 2: He tried to go Patrick mahomes and then replay you
- 10:06Speaker 2: can clearly see it was the no.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Look magic type pass, the razzle dazzle. He tried.
- 10:13Speaker 2: The razzle dazzle is what he tried. Instead, the razzle
- 10:18Speaker 2: dazzle did not work.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Here and literally he just gift wrapped a duke or
- 10:26Speaker 1: the duke to some player on the Chiefs defense. Here,
- 10:30Speaker 1: here you can have it.
- 10:31Speaker 2: So what intrigues you the most about this viral video
- 10:34Speaker 2: of Kyler Murray and his eyes closed throwing an interception?
- 10:40Speaker 2: So I just love the juxtaposition between Mahomes, who had
- 10:45Speaker 2: a down year and his down years, he got to
- 10:47Speaker 2: the super Bowl and they lost, got smoked the Chiefs.
- 10:50Speaker 2: And then you have Kyler Murray, who tries to copy
- 10:55Speaker 2: the highest form of flattery's imitation, tries to copy Mahomes,
- 11:00Speaker 2: tries to go Hollywood, and instead of going Hollywood, he
- 11:04Speaker 2: goes slapstick, which really sums up the life and times
- 11:07Speaker 2: of Kyler Murray.
- 11:09Speaker 1: The game. I understand it was an exhibition game and
- 11:12Speaker 1: who cares and all that stuff, but even by Kyler
- 11:15Speaker 1: Murray standards, it meant less to him than the last
- 11:19Speaker 1: page of a Call of Duty campaign.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Now, Kyler attempted the NFL version of like Tom Cruise
- 11:26Speaker 2: like stunt the no Look pass. Unfortunately, though Murray did
- 11:31Speaker 2: not use a stunt man, he looked a lot less
- 11:35Speaker 2: than It was not Top Gun or any other Tom
- 11:37Speaker 2: Cruise movie, more like Johnny Knoxville from Jackass Forever. On
- 11:43Speaker 2: that particular throw, he threw the pass right at right
- 11:47Speaker 2: at the Chiefs defender. There was not a cardinal player
- 11:51Speaker 2: that you could see reasonably close to making the play there.
- 11:54Speaker 2: He's like, here you go, random Kansas City defensive player.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Christmas in August Merry Christmas, enjoy the free possession.
- 12:03Speaker 1: There. There you go.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Now, don't tell don't tell that to the cult of
- 12:07Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. It's a small cult because everything Kyler is
- 12:11Speaker 2: involved in this small. But they're like, oh no, the
- 12:15Speaker 2: married band of Kyler Murray, apologies, who are out there?
- 12:19Speaker 1: And of course all they've spun this like some kind
- 12:22Speaker 1: of carnival ride with a bunch of drunk carnies going on.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And ah, you don't understand, you don't understand. Yeah, yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 1: he's just he's just playing. He's just playing around. He's experimenting,
- 12:37Speaker 1: that's all he's doing. He's working on some place. He's
- 12:40Speaker 1: aora farming. I've heard that one. He's or a farming. Okay,
- 12:44Speaker 1: that's a new, relatively new term. But why not.
- 12:48Speaker 2: And I'm sure Josh Allen will in the next Bill's
- 12:51Speaker 2: game there, he'll play and he'll fumble a snap and
- 12:54Speaker 2: Bill's mafia Will insists he's just building some adversity reps.
- 12:59Speaker 1: He's so good that he's just building.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Some adversity reps. Now, Kyler, we know he's thin skinned.
- 13:05Speaker 2: His act is also wearing thin There in Arizona, his
- 13:10Speaker 2: own franchise there famously felt the need when they signed
- 13:15Speaker 2: him to an extension that they had to put in
- 13:18Speaker 2: writing that Kyler needed to study more. That is not
- 13:22Speaker 2: the NFL telling you you're doing a good job. That
- 13:25Speaker 2: is the NFL equivalent of being called not coach on
- 13:31Speaker 2: the field. He's not the coach on the field, Kyler.
- 13:33Speaker 2: It's the equivalent of the NFL reminding you you might
- 13:37Speaker 2: want to show up to work sober.
- 13:39Speaker 1: You might want to show up to work sober. We're
- 13:41Speaker 1: just going to put that in the contract there, and
- 13:43Speaker 1: then they had to take it out because Kyler was
- 13:45Speaker 1: a little offended. He would have been a lot offended,
- 13:47Speaker 1: but he's a little guy, so he had to be
- 13:49Speaker 1: a little offended and that was enough. So it's take
- 13:52Speaker 1: more the same. The die has been cast in terms
- 13:56Speaker 1: of Kyler on field, on field, where he'll play well
- 14:01Speaker 1: for five to seven or eight games, then he'll run
- 14:05Speaker 1: into the curb and get curb stomped as he goes
- 14:09Speaker 1: tumbling down, down, down, down down, rince wash repeat. We've
- 14:14Speaker 1: seen this before. We have seen this before.
- 14:17Speaker 2: All right now, last thing, we're gonna change it up.
- 14:20Speaker 2: We are gonna go to the buck guy state right now.
- 14:23Speaker 2: That is where there is a campaign led by the
- 14:26Speaker 2: Governor of Ohio, Mike de Wine.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Now I bring this up because it's gonna affect other states.
- 14:34Speaker 1: This is not done done, but the momentum, I want
- 14:41Speaker 1: to use the word momentum.
- 14:42Speaker 2: The effort is being made by some political hacks. So
- 14:47Speaker 2: Mike DeLine, the governor of Ohio. Uh, he is riding
- 14:50Speaker 2: in on his moral high horse. Here we go, Here
- 14:54Speaker 2: we go. Moral Hi is trying to ban player props.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Now this in relation to some Cleveland Guardian baseball players
- 15:04Speaker 2: who were accused of fixing prop bets.
- 15:08Speaker 1: So I read this up. There's been a lot of
- 15:10Speaker 1: chatter about this. Now, one of the more outspoken blowhards
- 15:16Speaker 1: in this world is Todd McShay. You might remember Todd
- 15:20Speaker 1: me shay. He was on television as a draft guru
- 15:23Speaker 1: and then he got whacked from that job. Now he
- 15:27Speaker 1: came out publicly opposing McShay, opposing the band, and a
- 15:35Speaker 1: lot of people got on the moral high horse and
- 15:39Speaker 1: they were like, well, I mean, this is how can
- 15:41Speaker 1: you oppose this? What about the children? What about the
- 15:44Speaker 1: college athletes and the prop bets and all the whole thing?
- 15:49Speaker 1: All right, fine, so he said, listen. His point was
- 15:55Speaker 1: that you shouldn't be doing this, that.
- 15:58Speaker 2: People are still going to bet on prop bets and
- 16:01Speaker 2: you're making this prop bet thing illegal. You think you're
- 16:06Speaker 2: doing the right thing, but you're simply gonna drive betters
- 16:10Speaker 2: who are gonna engage in that action.
- 16:13Speaker 1: You're gonna drive the drive them to the dark web,
- 16:18Speaker 1: if you will, when it comes to this kind of thing. Uh,
- 16:22Speaker 1: And they're gonna find illegal gambling places and they're gonna
- 16:25Speaker 1: bet on these props anyway. So what are you doing?
- 16:28Speaker 1: So do you agree or disagree with with Todd Manshey?
- 16:33Speaker 1: So I agree with his position that Ohio should keep
- 16:39Speaker 1: prop bets legal.
- 16:41Speaker 2: They should, and there'll be other states that are going
- 16:44Speaker 2: to try to get rid of these things. Here the
- 16:47Speaker 2: point is, and what I believe the point of this is,
- 16:50Speaker 2: is that any rational human being who understands the dynamic
- 16:56Speaker 2: would want this stuff legal. Now, why is that when
- 17:01Speaker 2: you regulate betting and prop bets and all that, when
- 17:07Speaker 2: you regulate it, illegal activity actually drops.
- 17:10Speaker 1: It's that simple. The illegal activity drops you've regulated it.
- 17:15Speaker 1: It's like drunk driving is illegal, you're not supposed to
- 17:19Speaker 1: drive drunk. People still drink and drive. Spoiler alert. You're
- 17:23Speaker 1: not stopping this either you're not and all you're doing.
- 17:28Speaker 1: All you're doing is sending.
- 17:31Speaker 2: The gamblers right back to the old neighborhood bookie, which
- 17:35Speaker 2: they're still using in California and Texas and other places,
- 17:38Speaker 2: or worse, some shady website in the Cayman Islands where
- 17:43Speaker 2: there's no oversight, no regulation, none of it, and that
- 17:51Speaker 2: that's it. And so then you know the legal sports books,
- 17:56Speaker 2: and I'm not you know some of these places they
- 17:59Speaker 2: when you win, they actual limit how much you can
- 18:01Speaker 2: bet because they don't really want winners, they want losers.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And we can get in that conversation all you want.
- 18:06Speaker 1: But the legal sports books, the ones that operate in
- 18:10Speaker 1: the said whole.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Ohio wants to new to them now, they want to
- 18:15Speaker 2: new to them because of these prop bets.
- 18:17Speaker 1: And but yet they have the.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Most insane I've talked to some of these people who
- 18:23Speaker 2: are involved in that business, and the amount of checks
- 18:28Speaker 2: and balances are insane. The membrane, they've got algorithms, security teams,
- 18:36Speaker 2: a bunch of former FBI agents in the room and
- 18:41Speaker 2: they're monitoring twenty four to seven everything and they go
- 18:46Speaker 2: def con one these gambling places and if anything's a
- 18:51Speaker 2: little off if it smells a little funky.
- 18:54Speaker 1: What's that smell?
- 18:56Speaker 2: The books are all but guaranteed to catch it, and
- 19:01Speaker 2: they're all but guaranteed to nip it in the button. Now,
- 19:04Speaker 2: how do we know that.
- 19:06Speaker 1: It is a business where you're going to win.
- 19:11Speaker 2: The only way you're consistently going to lose, as the
- 19:14Speaker 2: book is, if there's funny business like athletes fixing prop bets,
- 19:23Speaker 2: that's it.
- 19:23Speaker 1: They'll be the first ones to know. And as we
- 19:27Speaker 1: saw with that no name from the Toronto Raptors and
- 19:32Speaker 1: all the other players that have been dinged since then,
- 19:36Speaker 1: right that.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Ohio, my advice, don't don't be stuper You can't unring
- 19:41Speaker 2: the bell.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Sports betting is here, it is popular, people like it,
- 19:46Speaker 1: it's going to continue, and you're not protecting the game,
- 19:51Speaker 1: which many politicians like to say, we're protecting the game,
- 19:53Speaker 1: we're looking out for the for the kids. No, it's
- 19:57Speaker 1: all about optics, which is what most of politics is optics.
- 20:04Speaker 2: And you're pretending to do something and all that stuff,
- 20:08Speaker 2: but you're not stopping the prop bets. You're merely shifting
- 20:12Speaker 2: where those bets are made. And oh, by the way,
- 20:16Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the neighborhood Bookie does not pay taxes
- 20:19Speaker 2: or the website in the Cayman Islands.
- 20:22Speaker 1: You're not getting any tax dollars on that money. Not
- 20:26Speaker 1: a dime, not a dime.
- 20:27Speaker 3: All right.
