Thanks for holding down the Fort yesterday.
1:58
Good to get together with some friends and have some memories
2:00
of one of our friends that passed.
2:02
But yeah, got on the golf course.
2:04
Golf games got a long, long ways to go.
2:06
What What course did you play? Saddleback over in Solon, so
2:10
nice course, yeah, yeah, nice course.
2:11
Hilly wide open, which is good for me as we're spraying the
2:14
ball all over the yard. But good time, good friends, a
2:17
lot of laughs and a lot of great memories.
2:19
So fun to to do that. And now a bunch of the crews
2:23
coming back over here Tomorrow we have our second annual tour
2:26
of Lloyd. What's that?
2:28
A bike ride? I don't think this beefy man is
2:31
going to get very far on this bike ride.
2:32
Well, why is it named after Lloyd?
2:34
My buddy Lloyd I It's just my middle.
2:36
Name. Oh, is it?
2:37
It's just a nickname that he's had.
2:39
So yeah, it's the Tour of Deloitte and oh, Deloitte,
2:42
Deloitte. It's like Tour de France.
2:44
Yeah, Tour Deloitte. OK.
2:45
And so the plan is to get out to coming.
2:49
I'm not making it that. Far there's, why would anyone
2:51
want to do? That I have no idea.
2:52
Drive. There's Drake sort.
2:54
Get in the car. Yeah, yeah, there's defeats the
2:56
purpose. It does, yes.
2:58
You get there and. I might make it about as far as
3:00
Valley Junction. That seems about the how deep
3:02
I'm going to get into the ride. Uh huh.
3:04
And then I'll just stop and wait for everybody to come back.
3:06
Somebody pick you up? Yeah, exactly.
3:08
And beat you there or beat him there, rather.
3:10
All right, Good stuff. Speaking of golf, the US Open,
3:13
the second round is ongoing and there are more.
3:17
What did I see earlier? There are more golfers 10 plus
3:20
or worse than there are under par.
3:23
It's just remarkable. This Oakmont is living up to
3:26
the, I guess, the reputation that it had going into the week.
3:30
There are three, seven guys under par in red letters.
3:35
And of those seven guys that are in red numbers, five of them
3:39
have not teed off yet. Yeah, good luck JJ Spawn, who
3:43
couldn't miss a putt yesterday. Trend.
3:44
I'm guessing that that won't be the case today.
3:46
Tristan Lawrence Thomas Detry. Yeah, and my boy Ben Griffin.
3:50
Yep, hold on to your butts 'cause this thing is a monster.
3:54
It truly is. I mean, it is tearing.
3:56
Brooks Kepka is having a, you know, he spectacular round in
4:00
some ways, but in some other ways, back-to-back to back
4:02
bogeys and then a 12 footer to stop that.
4:04
Srika bogeys at 3. Scotty Scheffler, where is he
4:08
at? Is he two over?
4:09
That was last I saw before we came on the air sheet. 3 / 3
4:13
over now projected cut. Not as bad as I projected
4:17
yesterday. I thought it'd be 6-7 under.
4:19
It's 4 under, but as you said, more like 4 over.
4:23
Beg your pardon? Yeah, a lot of guys still have
4:25
yet to tee off, so we'll see where that goes.
4:28
But boy, this Oakmont it is and it's just every hole.
4:33
I mean, I watched Peacock earlier kicking and screaming,
4:36
but did right and and was watching Victor Hovland, 'cause
4:41
he's the only guy that I backed that I have a sniff with.
4:44
And he had a hell of a round going.
4:46
And on the 2nd hole, which was his 11th, it's like a 376 par
4:51
40. This is easy to finally give him
4:54
a break. Well, he made a he made a good
4:56
putt to save triple. Well, it really is.
4:59
How about Patrick Reed yesterday and albatross and then his final
5:03
hole, he gets a triple bogey. No one's no one's going to cry
5:06
that Patrick Reed's round did not end in a good fashion.
5:10
But this Oakmont, if they want to hold it there more often than
5:15
not, I'm all for. It so they have the new rotation
5:18
where you have the three core courses.
5:21
I can't there's some term tell. Me this made it 'cause this is
5:23
news to. Me.
5:24
Yes, it's this, it is Piebald and Pebble.
5:29
Those are the three. So every nine years those 3 will
5:33
host. So we'll see three of those and
5:35
then they'll be six others in a nine year kind of I love it yes.
5:38
Those are the ones Beth Bethpage Black, they'll be in there.
5:42
We'll see if Aaron Hills gets a return and places like that, but
5:46
does that feel like the three best kind of anchor?
5:50
Yeah, yeah. I mean, certainly two of them,
5:52
Pinehurst's famous course, I don't remember much about it
5:54
right now, but but Pebble in this one and Pebble, you know
5:59
what that brings? That brings prime time late
6:01
night, late night golf on Saturday and Friday night, which
6:05
is which is going to be great, great viewing today.
6:07
Speaking of great viewing today, I mean Wrigley Field coming up
6:10
here in an hour and 10 minutes, it's Paul Skeens day skeens
6:14
against Horton. So I had Cappy on yesterday as
6:17
you know we couldn't do Wednesday with us and he he
6:20
joined me yesterday and he in the middle of our conversation
6:23
talked about the stupidest question that anybody had ever
6:26
posed on ESPN 1000. OK and two and he's made he
6:31
prefaced it this way. Two of the young hosts came up
6:34
with the If it was, it was for Chris Sale.
6:39
What would you give up for Chris Sale?
6:41
And their answer was, I give up Kate Horton in a heartbeat.
6:44
And Kappy blew up at that. Giving up Kate Horton five years
6:50
or whatever it is of contract control.
6:52
He's a young pitcher. I said Kappy.
6:55
I agree with the youngsters. It's about winning now.
6:58
Baby, you've you've got a first place team, A-Team that's
7:01
contending for the best record in the National League.
7:03
Do you remember Mark Pryor? Do you remember Kerry Wood?
7:06
Cappy. These these Stephen Strasburg.
7:09
Well, I I was just tailoring it to the Cubs, but Strasburg fits.
7:13
You know, some of these can't miss, no doubt about it.
7:16
Off on their way to Cooperstown. Once it all comes to an end, you
7:20
know, tap the brakes. It's here and now.
7:22
It's when, baby. And if you can get Chris Hill
7:24
and yeah, it cost you Kate Horton, wouldn't you make that
7:27
trade if it was? If you're talking about the
7:29
Twins, with a similar record to the Cubs right now, with
7:32
distance between them and everybody else in the American
7:35
League Central Division, wouldn't you give them up?
7:37
I wouldn't. A blink of an.
7:38
Eye, I think there's a couple of extra reasons, too.
7:42
Chris Sale. It's not a rental.
7:43
No, he's got two years. You got a club option?
7:45
Yeah, you got a club option for him for next year at $18
7:48
million? Expensive for a left-handed
7:51
pick. I get he's 37 right right, but
7:53
he's Chris Sale. He's.
7:54
Chris Sale and look. At the year he's having he's.
7:56
Been outstanding and I mentioned Strasburg.
8:00
He brought up the Cubs guys, these windows and baseball.
8:03
Here's another component, though, and you've been
8:07
tiptoeing around it. What, you think the Dodgers are
8:09
vulnerable? Yes, you absolutely do.
8:12
I absolutely do. The pitching staff, are they
8:14
going to be vulnerable every year?
8:16
Are they going to suddenly go away next year?
8:18
Or if you think that the Cubs window is the next five years
8:21
and Kate Horton for the next 5 years, that's an excellent
8:23
point. If you think that's your window,
8:25
the Dodgers going to close up shop.
8:27
No, all of a sudden they're just going to spend to the cap.
8:29
They they get. No more.
8:30
What do they call it? What do they do with their
8:32
contracts when they spread them out?
8:34
Deferred. No more deferred contracts.
8:36
Of course they're not. That's how they do business.
8:37
They're going to pull up stakes and move to Oklahoma City.
8:40
No, no, no, no, no, of course not.
8:41
They're the Dodgers. They're at the joyous.
8:43
Honda's just going to quit, right?
8:45
You. Now.
8:46
Yes, the time. Throw in by esteros whatever you
8:50
have. To do.
8:51
I don't believe in the Mets staff.
8:52
I don't think that's a staff that's going to get them in this
8:54
National League though. As top heavy as it is in the
8:58
current form, that team is not getting the World Series.
9:00
The NL is too good for that team to be able to pitch their way to
9:03
a World Series. Certainly going to shot, but
9:05
you're right. If the Dodgers are vulnerable, I
9:07
like the Phillies. I do, too.
9:08
The Padres are going to be. It's tough, but I'm with you
9:12
and. I was.
9:13
I was blown away. I thought Cappy took a page out
9:15
of Trey Wingo's book trying to tell me that the Cowboys of the
9:18
90s were bigger than the Bulls of the 90s.
9:20
Oh, yeah, the guys in the car rolling about that one, they,
9:22
they were so baffled by, they just couldn't believe that I'm
9:24
right there with you and everybody.
9:25
The car was the exact same way. I'm sure everybody that was
9:28
listening yesterday was the exact same way.
9:30
This is an opportunity. It is here.
9:33
PCA is playing at an incredible level.
9:36
What is Kate Horton's likely? Apex, that's a great a cap, he
9:41
thought. Ace now one or two, I mean, I
9:44
don't know, two or three, I think.
9:46
Is he James Tyone? Is he higher than that?
9:49
I think higher. He can hit higher than that, but
9:52
I don't see Kate Horton as being on a world championship team.
9:56
You're ace. He's not going to start Game 1
9:58
is what you're saying He's. Maybe a number two, more than
10:01
likely probably a #3 Chris Hale. You want him to start game one?
10:05
Yes. I do.
10:06
Game one, game four-game 7 if necessary, or game one and five.
10:10
That's the likely scene in today's environment.
10:12
And we keep hearing about the, I think as Matt Snyder tells us
10:15
about talks about the analytics and they say get a lefty at
10:18
Wrigley, Lefty, lefty, lefty. And they've got him Inaga and
10:21
they've got Boyd. And you can get Chris Hill for
10:23
the for the cost of Kate Horton, OK.
10:27
Where do I sign? Right.
10:28
Call it in. I agree.
10:30
Call it in, yes. Capyo, get some content out of
10:32
it. And he apparently is.
10:35
And your point about God, I wish I had that one in my back pocket
10:38
yesterday. That's a great point.
10:39
Because the Dodgers aren't going anywhere.
10:41
No, they're just not. They're going to spend to win.
10:45
And look at the roster that they've got.
10:47
Sure, there'll be some changes, but the main players are going
10:50
to be. There and they're going to be
10:52
likely upgrades because that's just well, that's.
10:53
The way do, yeah, deferred contracts, you know that that
10:57
bill will come do at some point, but who knows where it's going
11:00
to go. I got to talk about this hockey
11:02
game last night, yes, but my good God.
11:05
So I checked the score. It was already 2.
11:08
Nothing. I'm like, well, OK, I don't even
11:10
think I have to worry about it. And then I get home, you know,
11:12
and it's 3 three, Yeah. Well, it's 3 nothing before the
11:15
end of the first period. They got a they got a late goal
11:17
late in the first period. The refs missed a high stick on
11:20
an Oiler behind the net, verhege high stick.
11:23
One of the Oilers defencemen got the puck out to the front of the
11:26
net. There was nobody there.
11:27
It's 3 nothing as they go into the locker room and then it's 33
11:30
and then it's 4/3 for Edmonton and I'm on pins and needles as
11:34
they pulled their golden and thinking, good God, counting
11:38
down the, you know, just trying to get that clocks to zero.
11:42
And sure enough, the Panthers tied it up and sent it to
11:46
overtime. I think.
11:46
God, that was fun. That was as close as they're
11:50
going to get. And then in overtime, Sam
11:53
Bennett, in my opinion, had the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe
11:59
Trophy on his blade of his stick and nobody in front of him
12:04
except for Picard, the goalie who had replaced Skinner and
12:08
will never, Skinner will never see the net again.
12:10
This year. It's just it's mano a mano and
12:13
Bennett fires a wrist shot and it's it's going in.
12:17
I it hits the top of Picard's glove hand and Karen's off the
12:22
crossbar and over the net. Just, I mean, he didn't move his
12:27
glove because the puck was going too fast to do so.
12:29
But just a remarkable turn of events.
12:32
Dry saddle gets a fluky one. They all count.
12:34
It was a greasy goal, but all of a sudden this series is tied.
12:39
We're down to a best of three with Edmonton now back holding
12:43
home ice advantage. I still think Florida's the
12:45
better team, but I think the Pacers are the are the are the
12:49
Thunder rather are the better team in basketball and look
12:51
where they are. But that game last night was
12:53
phenomenal. You know what we've been and I,
12:58
and I get it, it's the NBA and it's the NHL and it doesn't move
13:01
the needle and I would like it does other places.
13:03
But we've been pretty entertained by these finals,
13:05
have we not? We've been lucky so far.
13:08
Best of three in hockey, the pro prohibitive favorite trailing in
13:13
their series after three games. I mean, we've been pretty damn
13:16
lucky as sports fans. Absolutely.
13:18
That was a compelling last night locked and loaded into that to
13:21
see the comeback to see that the way that it all unfolded kind of
13:25
catching back up as I did last night and seeing just.
13:28
And you mentioned that final goal.
13:30
That's that's hockey. That's hockey.
13:32
Yeah. Things like that are going to
13:33
happen. But to have it be dry sidle.
13:36
Yep. To have.
13:37
Who's now? Is he the second choice in the
13:39
con? Smythe.
13:39
Oh, he has. To be I would think he's up to
13:41
11 goals now I. Think so.
13:43
He's got as many points as McDavid.
13:44
McDavid and he are tied for points.
13:47
Sam Bennett has the most goals. I think Bennett is still the
13:50
favorite. If Florida wins, Sam Bennett
13:52
will win the con. Smythe OK If Edmonton wins, it's
13:57
one of two Do you bet dry sidle or do you bet McDavid?
14:01
And if you already have a ticket on McDavid, like I'm sure some
14:03
people do, a lot of people do, might be time to hedge.
14:06
I've got a ticket on Sam Bennett at 20 to 1.
14:09
So you answered my question that I had already already.
14:13
So that's it for old Stewie. Huh.
14:15
Yeah, he's done. He can't.
14:16
Play Stewart Skinner can't. Just no, he's done.
14:18
Picker was really good last night, you know, did what he
14:21
needed to do. They don't have great
14:23
goaltending. I mean, Picard's been a backup
14:25
goalie his entire career. But you know, maybe he's got,
14:29
maybe he's got a series in him. It was, it was unbelievable.
14:32
I saw Skinner right afterwards, race right out.
14:35
There to grab him. I thought that was great.
14:37
That was Yep, that's being a good teammate.
14:39
It's not going your way. Yep, but doing that hockey guy,
14:42
right? Hockey guy, great series.
14:45
Tomorrow night we'll get game #5 in Edmonton.
14:48
That will be part of the chicken coop.
14:50
Likewise with the basketball game tonight.
14:52
Yes, we do have basketball tonight.
14:55
U.S. Open all weekend, Pretty good
14:57
weekend lining lining up, is it not?
15:00
And the Sunday night baseball, because both of the finals
15:03
series take a night off. Sunday night baseball is Giants,
15:07
Dodgers. That's good.
15:08
Not bad, not bad. Not a great weekend of baseball,
15:12
but that that's one of those series cause the Giants are
15:14
right there with the Dodgers. My twins are in Houston.
15:17
We get Pirates, Cubs this weekend, Yankees, Red Sox.
15:22
Yeah, God, what? What is the what?
15:25
I never checked. What are the odds of on Paul
15:28
Skeens versus the Cubs today? Do you know?
15:30
I mean, normally the Cubs would be a huge favorite.
15:33
Do you have the Pirates Cubs? I do Cubs -120.
15:38
Maybe bigger than I thought. Yeah, that's also part of the
15:41
chicken coop contest as well. All right, I think that's Sean
15:44
Roberts calling in course. Sean is playing a marathon
15:47
today, 54 holes of golf to raise funds.
15:50
We'll get all the Intel in the 411 on that.
15:54
He'll call us a couple of times, get an update right away here.
15:58
And then likewise in our number 2 is he plays golf, a marathon
16:03
of golf and 5454 holes ahead. Let's find out where he is.
16:07
Hello, Sean Roberts, where are you?
16:09
How many holes have you played? I know you're 18 into it, but I
16:13
got to think you're further into it by now or than that, are you
16:15
not? I am Good afternoon boys, just
16:18
wrapped up the 2nd 18. So just finished up here at
16:23
Waveland. I am now heading off to
16:26
Grandview and then off to Grandview.
16:28
So 36th in, 36th in. How are you hitting them?
16:32
Not bad, not bad. Now Alec, Alec Buxy, who's been
16:35
golfing with me, the 1st 36, we because of time restriction, we
16:40
played like a best ball scramble here at Waveland.
16:43
We shot a 78 combined for us. So not the greatest, but you
16:48
know, it works for us because it's one of these.
16:49
You hit the ball and then you kind of speed walk back to the
16:52
cart and get going. But yeah, yeah, so we're we're
16:56
doing all right. All right, so let's let's for
16:58
those folks that are new to this, they're hearing this for
17:00
the first time. What are you doing this for?
17:02
How much money do you hope to raise and how can people get
17:05
involved? Sean?
17:08
It is, yeah. So we I got 54 holes and I'm
17:11
raising money for every kid gets a ball, which is a part of
17:14
Friends of Des Moines Parks and Rec.
17:16
So for kids that, you know, want to play football, want to play
17:19
baseball, want to play basketball, that can't afford a
17:21
sports equipment, that's where this money goes to.
17:24
So it goes to kids that want to play sports but might not be
17:27
able to afford all the equipment to do so.
17:29
So that's where this money goes. The first year I did this, we
17:33
raised $1200. Last year we raised a little
17:35
over $8100. This year, my goal is $10,000.
17:39
Right now. We're sitting at close to $3200
17:41
raised as of today. So want to keep it going all
17:44
throughout the day. I got another 18 to go and then
17:47
I'm going to come back here to Waveland and do a little bit
17:49
more probably. So a lot of time still to get
17:52
your donations in. So who's better, stick you or
17:56
Bussy? Sean A Sean definitely is.
18:01
You know what's fun about playing the scramble like we did
18:03
here on Waveland for the 2nd 18 is we've had a few good shots,
18:06
but Sean definitely Sean's short game is pretty, pretty
18:09
impressive. Well, he's been playing a lot
18:11
because when I played with Sean every Sunday, he's terrible.
18:13
I mean, he was awful so. But you put some work into that
18:16
game, Robert. I don't need TC, I don't need
18:19
this, this negative energy. I'm just speaking truth.
18:22
I mean, if you can't handle truth, maybe you need me out
18:24
there next year. I don't know.
18:27
Well, sure. Why don't you come play next
18:28
year? The three of us can do it, and
18:29
we can have. No, no, no, Bussy, you come in a
18:32
suit with me. Yeah, there you go.
18:34
All right, I like that idea. Ken, you're a radio legend.
18:36
The four of us, the four of us can make it a thing where we
18:38
each have our own category. I like it.
18:40
I like it a lot. All right.
18:41
So where do people go to to support this, Sean?
18:45
Yeah, www.friendsofdmparks.org Click the donate button when you
18:52
get to the home page and if you scroll on down, the 54 hole
18:55
challenge link is right there. Go ahead and click on that and
18:59
please donate if you can. Again, it's supposed to just
19:00
such a great cause for kids here in Des Moines that want to play
19:04
sports that are, you know, less fortunate.
19:06
And I'm, I'm thrilled to be a part of this organization.
19:10
And, and you know, it's not just me.
19:12
I know that there's a lot of people that pick up a lot of
19:14
slack at the radio station when I'm gone.
19:16
UTC Heather Lucas, I'm appreciative of you guys, Tyler
19:20
Allen doing his thing as well. So thank you for allowing me to
19:23
be out here to be able to do something like this, but also
19:25
allowing me to call in and interrupt your guys, the show
19:27
to, to promote this. So appreciate you guys.
19:31
And again, it's going to be open through the entire weekend and
19:34
all through Monday. So donate if you can.
19:36
You're going to hear me talking about it and, and post it on
19:39
social media. But I appreciate you guys giving
19:42
me some. Time.
19:42
All right, call of call in an hour from now if it, if your
19:45
schedule allows, Bussy, we'll talk to you Monday, if not
19:48
before. Have fun, boys.
19:49
Good to talk to you. Thank you.
19:52
Thanks, Ken. Appreciate.
19:52
Thanks guys. Good to talk to you guys.
19:54
Take care, Alec Bussy and Sean Roberts as they continue their
19:58
quest. 36 in, 18 to go. We will go to Omaha.
20:02
Mike Palm will join us next. Miller and Condon on the Iowa
20:05
Sports Radio Network. I'm Millory Condon welcome back.
20:12
Coming up on 12:30 Iowa Sports Radio Network be listening here
20:16
for your cue to call in about 15 minutes.
20:19
We'll give you an opportunity to get in line, give you an
20:21
opportunity to win some grub from the chicken coop.
20:24
Our number 2 cake it on the Hawks, repay on the Cyclones and
20:28
trench plays of the day. Circus sports will sponsor those
20:32
Mike Palm momentarily he is in Omaha for the College World
20:36
Series that gets underway today. Hopefully the weather will
20:39
cooperate and be able to get these games in.
20:44
Very popular event. Apparently the the city is
20:46
filling up. Let's head there now and find
20:48
out more, shall we? Mike Palm is the VP of
20:51
operations at Circa Sports. He's in Omaha.
20:54
Hello, Mike, Trenton, Ken, how are you?
20:56
It's we're having the time of our lives here in Omaha.
20:59
Oh, it's real serious. Are you?
21:01
So you're really enjoying it, huh?
21:02
It's. Really good.
21:04
I mean, of course you guys understand the Midwest
21:07
hospitality, but I mean, all eight of these fan bases are
21:10
terrific people. Doesn't matter if it's a old
21:13
library like Arkansas and LSU. Everybody's here to have a good
21:16
time. There's so many kids here.
21:18
There's like 600 million teams to the Creek, and they play all
21:21
their games from like 7:00 AM to noon.
21:23
So the kids can go to the palatable.
21:24
Two kids as well. A lot of families here.
21:27
The weather yesterday was perfect.
21:28
It was 80, a little warmer today.
21:30
That's why you can't beat this. Awesome to hear.
21:33
So your guys's connection to the state of Kentucky, interesting
21:36
though, Louisville there, Murray State there.
21:39
Does that mean that there's some liability for you guys on those
21:42
two Kentucky teams and and probably more money that you
21:44
normally have on those two teams to win it all?
21:48
Very little, although Derek has helped.
21:50
He bought a hundred shots for both of them and their school's
21:53
names, so they were actually 1st and 2nd on the board early in
21:57
the day yesterday just to try to make him be relevant and support
22:00
Circus Sports Kentucky. That Rocco's Mike Tucker, that's
22:04
where you guys are headquartered.
22:05
The Visen shows are coming out of there and that's where the
22:08
Jello shots really get took on a life of their own.
22:11
Do you know the history behind this?
22:12
Because it's become quite a topic.
22:15
You know, they started doing it like five years ago and it just
22:18
turned into this big thing where the, you know, they did a color
22:21
for each school and then it got to be too much because you know,
22:24
you have to make them so far ahead of time.
22:26
They made 120,000 of them for this year.
22:28
They might run out. Are you kidding?
22:30
But so now they do four colors and you just pick a color and
22:33
you say what school is for. But before they tried to do it
22:35
for each store. About 3 years ago, they started
22:38
when it really took off the head of charity component.
22:41
So they give back 30% of what each school does to a food bank.
22:45
And that's pretty. So, you know, in Fayetteville or
22:48
Bat News or wherever, they get all the shots that are purchased
22:51
for that school. They get 30% to a food bank at
22:53
the school. That really is so.
22:56
I have been to the World Series twice.
22:58
It's been a long time and both times that I went, LSU was not a
23:02
part of it. I have continued to hear that
23:04
when LSU there, it is completely different.
23:07
What have you seen from the purple clad Tiger fans out
23:09
there? Yeah, I'm Josh.
23:11
It's not people, too. I didn't realize this.
23:14
So it's funny because we did an event in Council Bluffs like
23:17
four or five years ago when we first killed the house, and we
23:20
met a guy that's a bookmaker here in in Elmira.
23:25
We used to, you know, owns a bunch of food.
23:26
Whatever. Anyhow, he took me around town
23:29
yesterday. We had lunch and he showed me.
23:32
Every year LSU has a big hook out here.
23:34
Whether the team makes it anything.
23:36
They bring 700 people from Baton Rouge, doesn't matter.
23:39
Of course. Now when they're here, they they
23:40
bring in 15,000 people. I mean, it's incredible.
23:44
And you know, they run out of food.
23:45
It's it's the atmosphere is really sudden.
23:47
These guys love the party. We found that out when LSU say
23:50
USC in the opening kickoff game. Make them drink like nobody
23:53
else. Nice.
23:54
Well, we know that the crew from decent likes to likes to bet,
23:57
bet on sports. Unfortunately, they're in a
24:00
state that doesn't allow it. How are you getting the the
24:02
decent crew and people that have it have a have an opinion and
24:06
want to back it up? Do you have to take them across
24:08
the river? Do you have a method to get them
24:10
there or are they just on their own?
24:12
But there's two ways. We have a continuous shuttle
24:14
that drives about 6 minutes through a little spot of land in
24:18
in that's second to Iowa, even though it's really not.
24:23
So whatever, it's part of Iowa. The other way, the way which I
24:27
use, although I took a couple of groups over in the bike, The
24:29
other way which I use, if you walk out of Rocco, it's looking
24:32
at the stadium. It's a 12 minute walk to the
24:34
middle of the Missouri River over a pedestrian bridge, which
24:37
you can feel located about 5 steps past the state border in
24:40
the middle of the river and make your bet and walk back.
24:42
It's about a 25 minute round trip.
24:44
I've made it about 6 times. In fact, last night about 8:30,
24:47
I just stepped going. I found this little park right
24:49
under the bridge in South the Bluffs, the river walk and just
24:52
sat there for about an hour watching these kids first pick
24:55
up chase for a game. All the people on the bicycles,
24:58
the babies playing, it was like heaven and the sun was going out
25:00
till night. Yeah.
25:02
So not only you're betting, but you're getting your exercise
25:04
while doing so. I think I had 14,000 steps
25:08
yesterday. Atta boy, Atta boy.
25:10
Good stuff. Last night's hockey game, Mike.
25:12
I'm not sure if you, unless you had it on your phone, not sure
25:16
how much you saw of it. What an entertaining game.
25:18
Unbelievable hockey game, Mike. I can't believe Edmonton did
25:22
that. I thought I had the first week
25:23
handicap game in four of the last five games before last
25:27
night in the finals between these two teams that were played
25:29
in the state of Florida. Edmonton had been held for one
25:33
or no goals and I thought it was because Maurice had the last
25:35
change and he could line up the bark offline against them again.
25:39
It's stunning for me, Absolutely stunning for me what they did
25:43
last night. This series is going 7.
25:45
Does the card have any static pants?
25:47
Nice. What's his price you?
25:49
That's a great question because he's what, now?
25:50
Nine And oh, in the playoffs, people forget that he's already
25:53
played in the playoffs. I thought I saw 170.
25:59
He could go. He could actually be nine.
26:00
And oh, I mean, I think considered.
26:02
And by the way, congratulations to you.
26:07
Yeah, I mean, talk about a hollow award, right?
26:10
I mean, the Most Valuable Player in the NHL, the Vesner Troph.
26:13
This is like a pitcher winning the Cy Young and being the MVP
26:16
of the league, and it rarely happens.
26:18
And the worst playoff goaltender in the history of the of the
26:21
game is the MVP of the league. Just it's kind of embarrassing,
26:24
Mike. It really is.
26:26
It's embarrassing. I'm exciting the people like me,
26:29
that right side of the company. Yeah, I gotcha.
26:31
What about tonight? What do you expect to see in the
26:33
NBA? I think they should bet Pacers
26:37
money line or alternates on OTC to win by 10.
26:40
I mean there's no other result in this series, right?
26:42
If it's going to be a close game, Indiana's going to win or
26:45
OTC is going to blow them out. I don't know what to make of it.
26:48
I haven't been betting it. I know so many people had under
26:51
5 1/2 games and they said I lost.
26:54
It's over days. We bet $1,000,000 under 5 1/2
26:57
games. It's not over.
26:58
Indiana can win the score one. I tell people it's not over.
27:03
It's not and I have been absolutely just kind of
27:05
gobsmacked about the way that this series has gone.
27:08
It is more open than certainly I anticipated as at minimum we're
27:11
going to get six games out of this series.
27:13
A little baseball, you know, we're talking about the Cubs, as
27:17
you know, we we do quite often over here.
27:18
Mike and I brought up a point to Ken and talking about what the
27:22
Cubs do with the trade deadline. Do you go out and get a Chris
27:24
Sale? Do you give up a top prospect in
27:27
order to get, you know, a really good arm?
27:29
Are the Dodgers vulnerable? How vulnerable?
27:31
Maybe should I should put it that way?
27:33
Do you see the Dodgers here for this year?
27:35
Only 2025? I think it's too hard to say
27:39
because it's going to be about their health.
27:41
How many of these pictures are they going to get back and what
27:44
are they going to do? Or whatever you do, they can one
27:46
up you. So I don't know.
27:48
I think the most interesting thing is where does school boil
27:50
in? I know Scott Boris played in the
27:52
Greg Maddox 30 poker tournament circle last week and put Barrick
27:56
at his table so he could flee the keep him in Detroit.
27:58
I think Steve is going to get 10 years north of 400 million.
28:01
Here's a question I have for you guys.
28:03
If you were going to pay 10 years for 420 million, would you
28:06
rather pay Skubal or the guy who's going against the Cubs
28:09
today? Paul, Steve?
28:10
I think skens. But boy, Skubal's a lefty eye.
28:15
Well, I think skens. I think Skens.
28:17
Skens for me too. How old is Skubal?
28:21
28 or 29? Yeah, skins for that reason I
28:24
think. Good stuff Mike.
28:26
Enjoy the When are you guys going home tomorrow?
28:29
I Derek's going home Monday night.
28:31
I'm going home tomorrow at 11. AMI want to be home for five?
28:34
Yeah, good idea. Good stuff, Mike.
28:36
We'll talk to you next week. Thanks for doing this.
28:37
Appreciate it. All right.
28:39
Thanks fellas. Have a good.
28:40
Weekend, you do the same. Mike Palm, VP of operations,
28:43
walking across the bridge, find a little patch of ground.
28:45
So you're what do they call it? You're not.
28:48
Is it GPS? Yeah.
28:49
GPS on your phone alerts the the Geo fencing that you're in the
28:54
state of Iowa. Therefore you can make a bet
28:57
because all these sickos that are well, not, not the circa
29:00
folks because they can't bet Circa Mike's opening up a
29:02
DraftKings or whatever, But all the guys that are on Visen,
29:06
they're there. And the gal Stormy about Antony,
29:09
I think is how you say her last name.
29:10
She's there. She loves to bet as well.
29:12
They're all having to get in the car and drive across the bridge
29:15
or to the midway point the bridge, and you make your bet
29:17
and walk back. Well, then, I mean, think if we
29:20
lived on Rivertown, you know, and it was that case, we'd be
29:23
doing the same thing. And that'd be tough for you
29:25
because most of your bets come post 830.
29:26
Yeah, No, I'm not. You'd have to get an Uber.
29:28
Yeah. Go drive.
29:30
Right. And that was the case for, you
29:32
know, when, when, and it's still to this day, people from
29:35
Nebraska coming into on Sundays. Minnesota, go to Northwood.
29:40
What's is that the casino with that's that's a rest stop,
29:43
right? Is it a rest?
29:44
I think. There was just a casino.
29:46
There might be a gas station I. Think was it a rest stop in the
29:48
beginning? It wasn't.
29:51
I've been at that casino plenty. No, I know there's burger.
29:53
King over there, there's a gas station.
29:55
But it wasn't. It was never a big.
29:56
Rush. That's where Paul Allen, before
29:58
he quit betting sports, that's what he used to tell us that he
30:01
used to do to drive down. But there's there's buses on
30:03
Sunday, they'll have people that will come down and watch NFL
30:05
games on Sunday in Northwood. So Northwood.
30:07
Pays for the buses, sends them up there, brings them on, gets
30:10
them on the bus or makes their place and off they go.
30:14
Missouri people down in the southern border too, I'm sure.
30:17
What is it lakeside down there? That's that's about an hour
30:20
South of us. Is that the closest though?
30:24
Or people down in Missouri? Depending on what part of
30:26
Missouri. Yeah, but sign up, just download
30:28
an app, come in and download an app and firewood.
30:31
Didn't Missouri get sports? Or is it Kansas?
30:33
One of them's getting sports. So I'm trying to remember it's
30:38
not Missouri. Are you sure that it's Kansas?
30:41
I'm not sure. One of them, one of them just
30:43
recently passed. If it was recent, because the
30:46
last time I was in Saint Louis visiting my mother-in-law and
30:49
family down there had to go to the Illinois side in order to
30:52
fire. Couldn't do it on the Missouri
30:54
side. So same thing, hop in the car,
30:57
go over there. I remember here in a couple of
30:59
years back, Stanford, Steve, you see at ESPN with Scott Van Pelt.
31:02
He's the bad beats guy, right? Yep, he the state because
31:06
they're in DC and I don't know if they had to go to Maryland or
31:09
vice versa where his house is, but he load up the girls.
31:12
He's got 4 girls load up in the car, pick up Donuts on Saturday
31:15
morning. Dad's going to go across the
31:18
river, sit in a parking lot, fire away, and then we'll head
31:22
back home. Yeah.
31:23
We should find a park, put them on the swings or, you know,
31:26
they'll do something. Don't be so obvious with your
31:29
problem. But you know, I like what Palm's
31:31
doing. Yes, you know, he's, he's
31:34
betting, but he's getting a little exercise to make that.
31:36
Bet you mentioned the Geo fencing.
31:38
So how does it work? If you're on a boat, you're
31:42
going down the Missouri River. Do you have to be 50% of the
31:46
water? Yeah.
31:47
Or do you have to be on land? It's like within 4 feet they can
31:50
tell you when. So do they cut the river in half
31:53
and that's where the GLP is? To the river I guess I don't
31:56
know the answer of it. I would think one side once you
31:59
get into the river. Like if you're on the beach and
32:03
you're. Then what side of the?
32:05
What side of the? What state?
32:06
Are you in on the beach? The Council Bluff side of the
32:08
beach. You're you're good to go.
32:10
You got your phone in the air. You're you're treading water.
32:13
Probably you get 4 feet in, you're about to go out, you're
32:15
about to go under. That's that's what it I mean, it
32:18
is accurate as well. It is.
32:20
It truly is. When I'm in Sioux City, there's
32:24
where are my wife's family's from.
32:25
There was one time we were at a hotel that's right on the river
32:28
there and there was a couple of different times I had to click
32:30
twice because it said checking location in it.
32:33
There was an extra couple clicks in there, you know, or a couple
32:36
of beats in there before. OK, Yeah, you're good.
32:38
You're not in Nebraska. You're not in South Dakota.
32:40
That Geo fencing doesn't work and somehow you.
32:43
I mean, that is a significant fine, not against you, but
32:48
against the operator that you're betting with those fines and
32:51
they're big. Well, and our buddy from Sport
32:53
Trade, Alex, they drove around him and one of his partners
32:57
drove around the state just testing just that.
33:00
That's why they put hundreds of miles on every corner of the
33:03
state of Iowa, making sure that that Geo fencing was working
33:07
correctly. Is sport trade still in
33:08
operation? It is, Yep, still in operation.
33:11
And yeah, they're still doing their thing.
33:14
Trying to find their niche, you know, I think it was a great
33:18
concept. I just think it was too
33:20
confusing, right? Guys and gals went along on yes,
33:26
no point spread, you know, those type of things, all the trading
33:30
back and forth and stuff. I think that's it was a lot of
33:34
work to make a bet. It's how kind of how I looked at
33:36
