- 0:00Speaker 1: Yep.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on Own seven
- 0:06Speaker 2: run over the last two days after tonight.
- 0:08Speaker 1: It was just complete bullshit.
- 0:10Speaker 2: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
- 0:13Speaker 2: Sunday one and five.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this. Man with the
- 0:22Speaker 2: slump continuing. Two straight losses, not a good day at
- 0:26Speaker 2: all all in four that.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Have not had a good season.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 0:35Speaker 2: slump continues.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I've reached a new peak.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Actually, I'm going to burn my Brouins hack Man, I
- 0:42Speaker 2: don't know what is going on with the Bruins arch hape.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
- 0:46Speaker 2: I don't even know it's It's March night, I think
- 0:49Speaker 2: who even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
- 0:52Speaker 2: But I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
- 0:55Speaker 2: back with you after the worst day that I could
- 0:58Speaker 2: possibly have, Back with you as I always am.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Until I die at least oh and two. Yesterday and
- 1:05Speaker 1: yesterday did not go well for me.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:11Speaker 2: my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Slump yesterday, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this
- 1:25Speaker 2: point other than potentially.
- 1:27Speaker 1: End it all. What's up, everybody?
- 1:33Speaker 2: It's towed back with you with Toadstool Sports Friday, February sixth,
- 1:40Speaker 2: didn't do great yesterday two and three.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Uh, it could have been better, although college.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Basketball was a great UMass Lowell, dude, I don't know
- 1:48Speaker 2: what to tell you about this NJI T team. This
- 1:52Speaker 2: this team is still a complete fraud, you mass Lowell.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I mean, they are a jackal on high team.
- 1:58Speaker 2: So they have really bad games sometimes, and I thought
- 2:00Speaker 2: that would be one of their good games.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Obviously that was not. That was a horrible loss.
- 2:05Speaker 2: The line actually went up to like two to two
- 2:08Speaker 2: and a half before the game too.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what is going on, man.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I would not think that the professional betters would be
- 2:16Speaker 2: playing NJIT in like any form really unless they're in
- 2:21Speaker 2: like a really great spot.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I don't see that happening, So I don't know what
- 2:24Speaker 1: went on.
- 2:24Speaker 2: With that cal State Bakersfield did get us to cover there.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I think it was actually a wire to wire cover,
- 2:29Speaker 2: even though it got really close near the end.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they were within that number the whole time.
- 2:34Speaker 2: They were winning the game outright, fairly deep into the
- 2:37Speaker 2: first half, and then they had a pretty bad second half,
- 2:40Speaker 2: but the game was at such a slow pace, which
- 2:42Speaker 2: was part of the handicap that it helped out.
- 2:45Speaker 1: And then they wound up covering.
- 2:47Speaker 2: If you got the sixteen and a half, which hopefully
- 2:50Speaker 2: you did because it was abundant, they covered by a
- 2:53Speaker 2: half point, but that was only because UC Irvine was
- 2:57Speaker 2: up fourteen and they dunked the ball at.
- 2:59Speaker 1: The buzzer like a bunch of jackasses, which.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I'm like, like, what are we what's going on here?
- 3:05Speaker 2: Like did some of these players have minus sixteen or something?
- 3:08Speaker 1: You want to push the bet? I don't know what
- 3:10Speaker 1: that was.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Like. Usually you don't see that happen. The team's gonna
- 3:14Speaker 2: win the game, they're up fourteen. Usually they just run
- 3:16Speaker 2: the rest of the clock out. You know, Bakersfield's not
- 3:19Speaker 2: gonna foul anymore. The dunk was just some bullshit, man,
- 3:22Speaker 2: And if that caused a loss, I would be really,
- 3:25Speaker 2: really fucking pissed, but it did not, so that was
- 3:29Speaker 2: still a cover by half point. The Flyers, they did
- 3:32Speaker 2: not play their best game, although they were an underdog
- 3:35Speaker 2: that took the game in no overtime, so that kind
- 3:38Speaker 2: of indicates that you had some value on that side.
- 3:41Speaker 2: They lost the game in overtime. They didn't play well
- 3:43Speaker 2: enough in regulation. I mean, they did get outstated in
- 3:46Speaker 2: the game, so that wasn't great. The best play was
- 3:49Speaker 2: obviously the Wizards with an outright win against the Piston.
- 3:54Speaker 1: So there you go, the Wizards all over the place.
- 3:58Speaker 2: They assaulted me the terrible performance one game, and then
- 4:01Speaker 2: the next game they the next game they fuck and
- 4:07Speaker 2: they won outright.
- 4:09Speaker 1: It's is fifteen point underdogs or whatever.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I think maybe you could could have gotten an even
- 4:14Speaker 2: greater line than that, but it didn't matter.
- 4:16Speaker 1: They want outright.
- 4:17Speaker 2: And then the Dallas Mavericks kind of pissed me off too.
- 4:21Speaker 2: They were hanging around in that game, and they were
- 4:22Speaker 2: within that spread late and they were down three with
- 4:25Speaker 2: three minutes left the final score, losing by twelve. I
- 4:29Speaker 2: don't even know what happened at the end of that
- 4:30Speaker 2: game for the Spurs to score that many points at
- 4:33Speaker 2: the end if Dallas was just continuously fouling or something.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I don't know what happened, because they were within three
- 4:38Speaker 2: with three minutes left, and I'm like, all right, Dallas
- 4:40Speaker 2: is gonna take this thing to the wire, like to
- 4:42Speaker 2: the wire, maybe send this into overtime, which at plus
- 4:46Speaker 2: seven I'd be okay. I'd be okay with the overtime.
- 4:48Speaker 2: They're probably gonna cover it if it does that. No,
- 4:52Speaker 2: they somehow they give up whatever it was like nine
- 4:56Speaker 2: unanswered points right at the end. I don't know what
- 4:59Speaker 2: what that was. That was some bullshit. We're gonna move
- 5:02Speaker 2: on to today. Today's a very small board. There's some
- 5:06Speaker 2: college basketball. A lot of it's Missouri Valley, which at
- 5:09Speaker 2: least it's a pretty competitive conference, so that's some decent
- 5:13Speaker 2: action there. And then the NBA board is actually not
- 5:15Speaker 2: that big. I'm gonna give about one play tonight it's
- 5:18Speaker 2: in the NBA, and then I'm gonna give out an
- 5:22Speaker 2: extra Super Bowl prop that I like as well, actually
- 5:25Speaker 2: because I don't know. It was something that I just
- 5:27Speaker 2: wasn't even thinking about. And then I think, I don't know,
- 5:30Speaker 2: I forget I saw one of the handicappers that I
- 5:32Speaker 2: follow and mention this, and I'm like, yeah, that makes
- 5:34Speaker 2: a lot of sense actually, so I'm gonna do that,
- 5:38Speaker 2: dirty sock.
- 5:38Speaker 1: What's up, Kyle, what's up? Good morning everyone, Tyson? What's up?
- 5:44Speaker 1: All right? College basketball? Let's go.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Very small college basketball board makes my life easier, although
- 5:51Speaker 2: I have to handicap the Saturday board probably in the
- 5:54Speaker 2: middle of the day because, like I said, I'm gonna
- 5:56Speaker 2: try to do the show tonight, but I'm going to
- 5:59Speaker 2: opeth so it's not gonna be like an insane crowd
- 6:03Speaker 2: show or anything.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It's a theater show. But still I'm gonna.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Be out probably until I don't know, after midnight. So
- 6:09Speaker 2: I don't know how I'm gonna do this.
- 6:11Speaker 1: I have to.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Handicap the board in the middle of the day, and
- 6:13Speaker 2: then the Lions won't be out yet, so I have
- 6:15Speaker 2: to figure out.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I don't know, I got stuff to do.
- 6:17Speaker 2: I gotta figure out, like I'm gonna give myself like
- 6:20Speaker 2: a short list of the situations I like, and then
- 6:23Speaker 2: when the lines start coming out, I gotta take a
- 6:25Speaker 2: look at them again, I guess and be like, all right,
- 6:27Speaker 2: I want to make these the plays and then go
- 6:30Speaker 2: from there. I don't know, I gotta figure out how
- 6:31Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it.
- 6:33Speaker 1: It'll be, we'll see, it'll be.
- 6:36Speaker 2: It'll be easier to do it with hockey not going on,
- 6:39Speaker 2: because there's usually a huge Saturday in hockey, but it'll
- 6:42Speaker 2: just be basketball. So all right, college basketball, there's one
- 6:47Speaker 2: Atlantic ten game on CBS Sports at six pm, Loyal
- 6:51Speaker 2: Chicago at Davidson. Loyal Chicago finally got another win against
- 6:57Speaker 2: a really bad Lasale team, but Oarl Chicago's really bad too.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Then ended a long losing street for Loyola Chicago, as
- 7:05Speaker 2: I think they won their first conference game and they
- 7:07Speaker 2: hadn't won since then.
- 7:08Speaker 1: They've lost nine games in a row.
- 7:10Speaker 2: But I talk about how when a team gets a
- 7:13Speaker 2: win sometimes that breaks that losing momentum and they'll actually
- 7:16Speaker 2: have that monkey off their back.
- 7:18Speaker 1: They'll play better and moving forward. So that looks good
- 7:21Speaker 1: for Loyola.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Then I also looked and they already played Davidson, who
- 7:24Speaker 2: they're playing tonight at home, and they lost by fifteen, so.
- 7:28Speaker 1: That looks good as well.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Okay, now Davidson might overlook Loyal in Chicago because first
- 7:33Speaker 2: of all, they stink, but second of all, Davidson already
- 7:35Speaker 2: beat them, easily at Loyola Chicago, so it doesn't look
- 7:40Speaker 2: like a spot where Davidson's really gonna have focus here.
- 7:43Speaker 2: So yes, I am gonna lean to Loyola Chicago here,
- 7:45Speaker 2: but I do have some problems with it now.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Loyol Chicago they play Saint Louis next.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I don't really see them looking ahead, Like I don't
- 7:53Speaker 2: really think they're gonna look past anybody at this point
- 7:55Speaker 2: because they're terrible, So I think that's somewhat out of
- 7:59Speaker 2: the EQUI for Davidson.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Yes, I do think they might overlook them.
- 8:03Speaker 2: And Davidson did just play Saint Louis and that was
- 8:06Speaker 2: the game that was close for a while, though in
- 8:09Speaker 2: the final minutes it wasn't exactly that close.
- 8:11Speaker 1: They wound up losing by nine. Robbie of Vila, I'm.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Pretty sure missed two free throws at the end of
- 8:16Speaker 2: that game, so maybe he was not feeling great.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 8:20Speaker 2: But it was a decent performance of David's and they
- 8:24Speaker 2: played fairly close, So they are coming to have a
- 8:26Speaker 2: big game here. Unfortunately, they don't have Dayton next, because
- 8:30Speaker 2: if they had Dayton next, it might be more of
- 8:32Speaker 2: a sandwich spot here. But they're playing some non Division
- 8:35Speaker 2: one team next mid Atlantic College or something. I don't
- 8:38Speaker 2: know what that is. But they're gonna have a basically
- 8:41Speaker 2: basically like a bye game coming up next, so they
- 8:45Speaker 2: don't have a look ahead here.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna stay away.
- 8:50Speaker 2: And the one thing that really threw me off is
- 8:52Speaker 2: that Ken bomb has this number at like fifteen and
- 8:56Speaker 2: the numbers ten and a half nine. I'm like, I
- 8:59Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. If Davidson has some injuries
- 9:01Speaker 2: or what's happening, or the oddsmakers are just giving Loyola
- 9:06Speaker 2: more respect than they deserve.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I do lean to Loyola Chicago, like, as far as
- 9:11Speaker 2: the situation is concerned, if you forced me to lean,
- 9:14Speaker 2: I would probably take the points, but I don't want
- 9:17Speaker 2: to do it. Davidson down from ten and a half
- 9:19Speaker 2: to nine and a half here, so some early movement
- 9:22Speaker 2: towards that side. But again, based on the numbers that
- 9:25Speaker 2: Ken Bump's throwing out there, this line is actually way
- 9:27Speaker 2: too short. So again, I don't really know what's going on,
- 9:31Speaker 2: so I'm gonna stay away from it.
- 9:34Speaker 1: H ESPN two has.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Dayton at VCU. Pretty good game in the Atlantic ten
- 9:39Speaker 2: at seven pm. Both these teams among the best teams.
- 9:42Speaker 1: In this conference.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Saint Joe's is a complete fraud, so I would say
- 9:46Speaker 2: Saint Louis is clearly the.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Best team in this conference.
- 9:49Speaker 2: VCU is second, and then Dayton is third in my opinion,
- 9:52Speaker 2: then probably George Mason.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Saint Joe's. I don't know, not not.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Even really that close. I don't know what they're doing
- 9:59Speaker 2: up there. Dayton, Uh, just a race of four game
- 10:02Speaker 2: losing streaking. Yeah, they lost to Saint Joe's in Lesalle.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Don't remind me because I gave them out as a
- 10:07Speaker 2: play against Saint Joe's.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck me.
- 10:09Speaker 2: I guess Dayton has lost four They had lost four
- 10:13Speaker 2: games in a row and then they barely got by
- 10:15Speaker 2: Saint bona Venture. So I actually like how this sets
- 10:18Speaker 2: up for Dayton because they broke a losing streak, so
- 10:21Speaker 2: that momentum, the negative momentum, is gone. But they actually
- 10:24Speaker 2: did so by playing poorly against a same Bonadventure team
- 10:28Speaker 2: that's not playing well this year. Dayton were seven and
- 10:30Speaker 2: a half point favorites in this game and.
- 10:32Speaker 1: They almost lost. They only won by two, So.
- 10:35Speaker 2: I like that as far as like a favorite barely
- 10:37Speaker 2: getting by They're gonna be focused more in the next game.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Maybe they're already looking ahead to VCU. Obviously they're gonna
- 10:43Speaker 2: show up for a game against VCU. Although I do
- 10:45Speaker 2: think VCU is in a similar spot because they just
- 10:49Speaker 2: barely got by Fordam on the road.
- 10:51Speaker 1: I think maybe they were looking ahead to this game too.
- 10:54Speaker 2: So both teams are gonna kind of be in focus
- 10:56Speaker 2: spots here, So I'll stay away, but a lot of times,
- 11:00Speaker 2: and it is a more focused spot a lot of times,
- 11:01Speaker 2: the better team, which is VCU, will have the upper hand.
- 11:06Speaker 2: They're up from a six and a half point favorite
- 11:08Speaker 2: to a seven point favorite.
- 11:09Speaker 1: With juice here.
- 11:11Speaker 2: If the public's gonna play this game, because they are
- 11:13Speaker 2: right that many TV games, they might notice, oh well,
- 11:15Speaker 2: these teams have similar records. Maybe think the seven and
- 11:18Speaker 2: a half is a little bit too high.
- 11:20Speaker 1: I don't know. It's hard for me to gauge what
- 11:21Speaker 1: the public's gonna do with this game.
- 11:23Speaker 2: I'll probably need to laying the points with VCU. I
- 11:29Speaker 2: probably would not disagree with an under in this game.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I was correct about that Cincinnati game going under yesterday,
- 11:35Speaker 2: but neither team even got to sixty in that game.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Maybe I should start playing totals a VCU. They actually
- 11:43Speaker 2: play a bit on the faster side again, even though
- 11:47Speaker 2: Shaka Smart's not there anymore, so that kind of I
- 11:50Speaker 2: don't know, that would worry me a little bit. Although
- 11:53Speaker 2: Dayton is a very good defensive team, they don't play
- 11:55Speaker 2: as fast, so I don't know.
- 11:57Speaker 1: To me, it just seems like it's gonna be kind
- 11:58Speaker 1: of a battle.
- 12:00Speaker 2: So I was kind of thinking under totals at one
- 12:02Speaker 2: forty nine, but I guess I don't really have a
- 12:04Speaker 2: strong opinion on that because neither team is a particularly
- 12:07Speaker 2: slow paced team, and VCU actually is a bit better
- 12:10Speaker 2: defense offensively, excuse me the defensively.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Oh, we have a pretty ugly game.
- 12:16Speaker 2: In the IVY League, usually the IVY has more games
- 12:18Speaker 2: on Friday. It's only probably the worst team in the
- 12:22Speaker 2: IVY against definitely the best Brown at Yale. I mean,
- 12:26Speaker 2: Brown will likely show up at least. Yale already beat
- 12:30Speaker 2: them at Brown by seventeen, so Yale may potentially overlook
- 12:35Speaker 2: Brown for that reason. Brown's lost four games in a row.
- 12:38Speaker 2: They're not a great team, but they'll probably at least
- 12:40Speaker 2: show up for a game against the powerhouse of the
- 12:43Speaker 2: IVY Yale, though they're coming up a pretty bad loss
- 12:47Speaker 2: to Harvard.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I know, Harvard might be the second best team in
- 12:49Speaker 1: the IVY.
- 12:50Speaker 2: There's Robbie Avila there, but there's still a huge gap
- 12:56Speaker 2: between Yale and Harvard, even if Harvard is the best
- 12:59Speaker 2: the second best team the IVY. Yale were eleven and
- 13:02Speaker 2: a half point favorites in this game at home against Harvard,
- 13:04Speaker 2: and they lost the game outright, So Yale might bounce
- 13:09Speaker 2: back from that. Man, they might be a little bit
- 13:10Speaker 2: angry about that. A lot of times you have that
- 13:12Speaker 2: big favorite that plays badly.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And they lose.
- 13:15Speaker 2: A lot of times they show up with focus in
- 13:17Speaker 2: the next game. So I could see arguments for both sides.
- 13:21Speaker 1: In this game.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Yale did also lose a four game win streak, so
- 13:24Speaker 2: sometimes losing a win streak will hang you over a
- 13:27Speaker 2: little bit. And maybe they treated that Harvard game like
- 13:29Speaker 2: a bigger game because it is Harvard Yale. I mean,
- 13:32Speaker 2: it's of course, it's a very old football rivalry. There's
- 13:36Speaker 2: still huge rivals. They're like the prime They're like the
- 13:39Speaker 2: main rivals in the IVY. So there is still all that.
- 13:42Speaker 2: As far as the market read the market, Reid is
- 13:44Speaker 2: saying to take the points with Brown. Yale dropped from
- 13:48Speaker 2: fifteen and a half point favorite to fifteen. Here ninety
- 13:50Speaker 2: percent of the tickets seventy six percent of the cash
- 13:54Speaker 2: u low total at one forty, So I guess I
- 13:57Speaker 2: won't really disagree with taking the points with Brown. That's
- 14:00Speaker 2: pretty much what the market is saying. But that is
- 14:02Speaker 2: a game that does not really interest me at all.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Fox Sports has maybe the best game of the night
- 14:08Speaker 2: between two ranked teams that I actually think are not
- 14:11Speaker 2: exactly what the rankings makers are telling you. They are
- 14:13Speaker 2: Yukon number three at number twenty two Saint John's. Of course,
- 14:18Speaker 2: this is in Madison Square Garden. But the thing about
- 14:20Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, of course, is that you know Yukon's
- 14:23Speaker 2: gonna have a huge crowd presence.
- 14:25Speaker 1: There as well.
- 14:26Speaker 2: So it's not gonna really be a road game for Yukon.
- 14:29Speaker 2: And Yukon, I mean they play they play a lot
- 14:32Speaker 2: of their games in Hartford, but I think Yukon has
- 14:34Speaker 2: played some of their games during the regular season in
- 14:36Speaker 2: Madison Square too. I mean it's not an unfamiliar venue
- 14:39Speaker 2: for them, so not really a road game for Yukon.
- 14:43Speaker 2: So that's one thing of note here, but I think
- 14:46Speaker 2: Yukon's overrated, being ranked third in the country. Kenbam has
- 14:50Speaker 2: them at eighth. He's got Yukon pretty lucky thirty first
- 14:54Speaker 2: in his luck Index, meaning they have overperformed. If you
- 14:57Speaker 2: look at Yukon's schedule so far, they face of very
- 15:00Speaker 2: easy Big East slate. I mean, the Big East is
- 15:02Speaker 2: a bad conference this year, but they haven't played Saint
- 15:05Speaker 2: John's at all yet. They did crush Creighton on the road,
- 15:08Speaker 2: which just a decent win, and they had a home
- 15:10Speaker 2: win against Villanova. Other than that, they haven't done a
- 15:14Speaker 2: whole lot. I mean, they won by five at Seaton Hall.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I'm not too impressed with the Yukon's resume, man, to
- 15:20Speaker 2: be honest. I mean, part of it is just because
- 15:22Speaker 2: the Big East stinks. But I think there's less of
- 15:26Speaker 2: a gap here between Yukon and Saint John's than people
- 15:29Speaker 2: might think.
- 15:30Speaker 1: The line of this game is pretty small.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Yukon went up from one point favorite to a two
- 15:34Speaker 2: point favorite, but they're looking like they're gonna be the
- 15:37Speaker 2: public side because the rankings make you know, the people
- 15:39Speaker 2: see the rankings, and the public's probably gonna want action
- 15:42Speaker 2: on this game because it's the big game of the night.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Oh the better team. Yukon's only laying two points. They
- 15:48Speaker 2: basically just have to pick the winner, right. Seventy four
- 15:50Speaker 2: percent of the tickets are on Yukon, but sixty three
- 15:53Speaker 2: percent of the cash on Saint John's. I will not
- 15:57Speaker 2: disagree with Saint John's in this one. I actually think
- 15:59Speaker 2: Saint John's maybe a little bit under ranked. Kenbom has
- 16:02Speaker 2: them at twentieth. They're much less lucky than Yukon. He
- 16:06Speaker 2: has them two hundred and sixty fourth in locked, so
- 16:10Speaker 2: he's telling you Saint John's has actually underperformed what their
- 16:13Speaker 2: level actually is. Yukon has overperformed with the fact that
- 16:17Speaker 2: they only have one loss on the season. Now it
- 16:19Speaker 2: will be a contrast to styles. Saint John's wants to
- 16:22Speaker 2: go fast, Yukon wants to go slow, but both teams
- 16:25Speaker 2: are better defensively, although Saint John's is actually more balanced
- 16:28Speaker 2: this year than they were last year. I'm gonna be honest,
- 16:31Speaker 2: I think Saint John's this year is actually better than
- 16:33Speaker 2: they were last year because last year their offense was
- 16:35Speaker 2: actually pitiful even though their defense was really good. That
- 16:39Speaker 2: was kind of their undoing. But if they're gonna be
- 16:41Speaker 2: more balanced this year. Maybe they're a little bit too fast,
- 16:44Speaker 2: but this Saint John's team might actually be dangerous once
- 16:47Speaker 2: we get to the tournament and Yukon, if they wind
- 16:52Speaker 2: up being a one seed, Yukon is gonna be the
- 16:53Speaker 2: weakest one seed. So I'll just throw that out there.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Yukon actually got less bad. They're more defense oriented than
- 17:02Speaker 2: offense oriented, although still is Saint John's. It's gonna be
- 17:05Speaker 2: easier for you kind of slow the game down. I
- 17:08Speaker 2: think I do like the under in this game. The
- 17:11Speaker 2: total did drop a little bit from one to forty
- 17:13Speaker 2: five to one forty four.
- 17:14Speaker 1: And a half. It's a fairly low total. It's that
- 17:16Speaker 1: way for a reason.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I mean, I see both teams probably focusing on defense here.
- 17:20Speaker 2: As far as the scheduling spot, it does not look
- 17:23Speaker 2: like an unfocused spot for either team. Yukon just easily
- 17:27Speaker 2: beat Xavier, no real problem there. They're not gonna overlook
- 17:30Speaker 2: Saint John's. Saint John's also won't overlook Yukon, and they're
- 17:33Speaker 2: coming off a momentum continuing and win over to Paul,
- 17:36Speaker 2: so I see both teams putting in an effort in
- 17:38Speaker 2: this one. On the defensive side of things, so underkind
- 17:41Speaker 2: of makes sense here, and I agree with the Saint
- 17:44Speaker 2: John's side as well.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I just think that the.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Rankings have these teams. The rankings make these teams look
- 17:51Speaker 2: more desperate than they actually are. But yes, keep in
- 17:54Speaker 2: mind that Saint John's does not really have a true
- 17:55Speaker 2: home court advantage in this one, so.
- 18:00Speaker 1: All things to consider in that game. It's not a
- 18:02Speaker 1: play for.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Me or anything, but the market Reid is also saying
- 18:04Speaker 2: Saint John's and it looks like possibly the under So
- 18:07Speaker 2: I do agree with both of those in that one.
- 18:10Speaker 2: I guess I'm gonna talk about every game because there
- 18:12Speaker 2: just aren't that many games Evansville and Valparaiso. This is
- 18:15Speaker 2: the worst game the Missouri Valley's got some decent games tonight,
- 18:20Speaker 2: not this one. Evansville is one of the worst teams
- 18:23Speaker 2: in that league or conference. I've lost five games in
- 18:26Speaker 2: a row. You know, at least that probably means they're
- 18:28Speaker 2: gonna show up. And also they probably consider themselves to
- 18:31Speaker 2: be a little brother to every team in Indiana, which
- 18:35Speaker 2: Valpo is in Indiana, so Evansville probably will play with a
- 18:39Speaker 2: little bit of extra focus, at least against an Indiana team.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Valpo just lost to Bradley in a somewhat close game,
- 18:47Speaker 2: losing by seven. Bradley is one of the better teams
- 18:50Speaker 2: in this conference, so Valpo is coming off a tougher game.
- 18:53Speaker 1: They got Drake on deck.
- 18:54Speaker 2: I don't know if they're really gonna look ahead to
- 18:56Speaker 2: Drake because Drake's not having a great season, but definitely pretty.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Need to overlook Evansville.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Though these two teams have not played yet this year,
- 19:04Speaker 2: they actually play in the last game of the regular season.
- 19:09Speaker 2: I would lean towards Evansville in this one. It's a
- 19:11Speaker 2: low total at one thirty six, you're getting a lot
- 19:13Speaker 2: of points. Valpo down from ten to nine and a half.
- 19:16Speaker 2: They're the public side. It looks like seventy five percent
- 19:18Speaker 2: of the tickets only fifty six percent of the cash.
- 19:21Speaker 2: I agree with that market read on that one too.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I would lean towards Evansville. Not a strong opinion for me, though,
- 19:27Speaker 2: Murray State at Southern Illinois. This is one of the
- 19:30Speaker 2: better games man, this one and then the TV one,
- 19:34Speaker 2: actually maybe both TV games. Actually, really, these remaining four
- 19:38Speaker 2: games are all pretty good.
- 19:42Speaker 1: What's up, Hindi and what's up? Man?
- 19:46Speaker 2: Who's hand to tron. Oh, well, thank you, sir. I
- 19:48Speaker 2: don't even know who that is. So do I really
- 19:51Speaker 2: give a fuck everybody? Dude, everybody talks shit.
- 19:56Speaker 1: They they hate us because they because they hate us.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Man, they hate us because they aim us. Uh because
- 20:03Speaker 2: because they're gay is what I mean. Dude, I seriously
- 20:07Speaker 2: have no fucking idea who that even is. I mean,
- 20:12Speaker 2: I'll fucking block whoever that is. I don't know, there's
- 20:15Speaker 2: no skin off my back.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't even know who that
- 20:19Speaker 1: guy is.
- 20:21Speaker 2: But yes, Murray State Southern Illinois. This is an interesting
- 20:23Speaker 2: game because I first looked at this and I'm like,
- 20:25Speaker 2: Murray State has the way a better record over Southern Illinois.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Murray State's only favored by one and a half.
- 20:31Speaker 1: So this is basically like pick.
- 20:32Speaker 2: The winner, Like you know, the public's gonna be on
- 20:35Speaker 2: Murray State here, Like it looks so easy to play
- 20:38Speaker 2: Murray State with this record. And you know, I've been
- 20:40Speaker 2: telling you all year that Southern Illinois has underperformed what
- 20:43Speaker 2: they really are. They're like the most under rated team
- 20:47Speaker 2: in this conference. So I'm like, okay, I'm like gearing up,
- 20:50Speaker 2: like maybe Southern Illinois is going to be a play here.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Murray stated they already beat Southern Illinois this year. Yeah
- 20:55Speaker 2: they did, but.
- 20:56Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I'm like that was at Murray State and Murray State
- 20:59Speaker 2: didn't come So you know what I talk about Murray State,
- 21:03Speaker 2: they were six and a half paint favorites in this game.
- 21:05Speaker 1: They only won by three.
- 21:06Speaker 2: And I do talk about how in the first meeting
- 21:09Speaker 2: when the home team was a big favorite and they
- 21:11Speaker 2: almost lost the game, they actually will take that team
- 21:14Speaker 2: seriously more often than not the next time. So that
- 21:17Speaker 2: worries me about looking towards Southern Illinois just based on
- 21:19Speaker 2: the situation here. Murray State also just broke a four
- 21:23Speaker 2: game losing streak where they mostly lost to pretty good
- 21:26Speaker 2: teams during that losing streak, and the biggest loss was
- 21:30Speaker 2: at Belmont. I'm not gonna blame him for that. Belmont
- 21:32Speaker 2: is very legit. Murray State got the win. They beat
- 21:36Speaker 2: Illinois Chicago. I know Illinois Chicago's been having a decent season,
- 21:39Speaker 2: but I don't think that Murray State will really be
- 21:42Speaker 2: in a letdown mode off of that. They got Northern
- 21:45Speaker 2: Iowa up next. I know Northern Iowa is middle of
- 21:47Speaker 2: the pack here, but they're not that far above you know,
- 21:51Speaker 2: some of these other teams in the conference really, so
- 21:53Speaker 2: I don't know if that's really going to be a
- 21:54Speaker 2: look ahead all though, maybe because Murray State did lose
- 21:57Speaker 2: to Northern Iowa already, so I guess maybe that would
- 22:01Speaker 2: be a look ahead, But I don't know. To me,
- 22:04Speaker 2: it looks like they might have some momentum because of
- 22:06Speaker 2: the first meeting between these two, and they might actually
- 22:08Speaker 2: take SIU seriously here, and Southern Illinois is coming off
- 22:12Speaker 2: a nice upset win over Illinois State. So that's my
- 22:15Speaker 2: other problem with looking at Southern Illinois because yeah, from
- 22:17Speaker 2: like a numbers perspective and looking at what the market
- 22:20Speaker 2: looks like, yeah, it looks like Southern Illinois should be
- 22:23Speaker 2: the side you'd want to look at here. But based
- 22:25Speaker 2: on the situation, the situation seems to be better for
- 22:30Speaker 2: Murray State here. Southern Illinois nice win over Illinois State.
- 22:33Speaker 2: They were probably about a five and a half point
- 22:36Speaker 2: dog in this one.
- 22:36Speaker 1: No I'm wrong, eight and a half. WHOA, I shouldn't
- 22:39Speaker 1: make my own numbers. Eight and a half.
- 22:42Speaker 2: So that was a pretty big upset for Southern Illinois
- 22:44Speaker 2: in that one. So I don't really want to jump
- 22:46Speaker 2: on Southern Illinois after they pull off an upset.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Yeah, they should get up for a.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Game against one of the teams that has one of
- 22:51Speaker 2: the best records in the conference. But in a situation
- 22:55Speaker 2: like this, I think I actually probably have to lean
- 22:57Speaker 2: towards Murray State here in the public. Get this one right,
- 23:01Speaker 2: Murray State. It's the public being a broken clock. Though
- 23:07Speaker 2: Murray State went from a pick them to one and
- 23:08Speaker 2: a half point favorite with juice, I'll agree with that move,
- 23:12Speaker 2: but this is not a game I want to get
- 23:13Speaker 2: involved in. It will be a fun game to watch though.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Unfortunately it's not a TV game, but it is on
- 23:18Speaker 2: ESPN Plus, and I think Disney Plus actually, like Simo
- 23:23Speaker 2: streams these things now too, because they're all under one umbrella.
- 23:27Speaker 2: So I don't know, because I was looking the other day,
- 23:29Speaker 2: like I was putting on some of these ESPN Plus
- 23:32Speaker 2: games and I do it with my DVR or excuse me,
- 23:35Speaker 2: my set top box I voice command because my set
- 23:38Speaker 2: top box has the ESPN Plus app in it and
- 23:42Speaker 2: it's got Disney Plus in it too, so I'm doing
- 23:44Speaker 2: it and it's like, which one do you want?
- 23:45Speaker 1: ESPN Plus or Disney.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Plus I'm like, uh, ESPN Plus, I'm like, is it
- 23:50Speaker 2: a different broadcast?
- 23:51Speaker 1: Probably not, because they're all just under.
- 23:54Speaker 2: The ESPN, Disney the whole same lame umbrella. Correct, Yes,
- 24:02Speaker 2: I only have fans in denial, thank you. Yes, Network
- 24:08Speaker 2: blackout games in college basketball.
- 24:11Speaker 1: That might be the case. I don't know.
- 24:15Speaker 2: There's some weird stuff going on, like there are a
- 24:17Speaker 2: lot of contract disputes going on. Like I know, I
- 24:20Speaker 2: had to give my dad streaming links to some of
- 24:25Speaker 2: the Patriots games because my parents, uh, they're I think
- 24:31Speaker 2: they have like Verizon FiOS and FiOS is in a
- 24:34Speaker 2: dispute with Fox right now, so they don't carry Fox
- 24:38Speaker 2: right now, which i know sounds completely ridiculous. And then
- 24:40Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like, well, wait a minute. The because I'm
- 24:43Speaker 2: old school man, I just remember that. I'm like, but
- 24:45Speaker 2: the AFC games are always on CBS. I'm like, what
- 24:47Speaker 2: are we talking about here? Nope, apparently a bunch of
- 24:49Speaker 2: them are on Fox. I'm like, all right, whatever, But
- 24:55Speaker 2: then my dad is always you know, mister rule abider.
- 24:59Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, Like I was like talking
- 25:02Speaker 2: to my mom about it, and I'm like, I'm like,
- 25:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm like, here's the link, and she's like,
- 25:07Speaker 2: she's like all right, Like just don't don't tell him,
- 25:09Speaker 2: you know that. It's like that it's you know, one
- 25:12Speaker 2: of those like you know, bad links.
- 25:14Speaker 1: I'm like, all right.
- 25:16Speaker 2: I think she told them eventually though, and he was
- 25:18Speaker 2: still watching it. Because it's like which one of my
- 25:21Speaker 2: dad's like mental things is gonna win out, like the
- 25:23Speaker 2: fact that he needs to abide by stupid rules or
- 25:26Speaker 2: the fact that he needs to watch the Patriots I
- 25:28Speaker 2: think his need to watch the Patriots one out.
- 25:33Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's all pretty gay, k with an.
- 25:37Speaker 2: H I have Disney Plus. I think I know it's Disney.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I know it's lame, but I mean you're under the
- 25:45Speaker 2: Disney umbrella anyway, if you have it, like I was
- 25:48Speaker 2: grandfathered in, but I would I think I had to
- 25:51Speaker 2: like change mind though, because they got rid of some
- 25:53Speaker 2: of those old plans. I think I had to change
- 25:54Speaker 2: into one of the new ones. I would probably say
- 25:57Speaker 2: that Disney Plus package which gives YOUPN Plus and Hulu,
- 26:02Speaker 2: although I think it's like the ad based Hulu, which
- 26:05Speaker 2: I think I have Hulu through Spotify as well. I
- 26:08Speaker 2: don't know, it's there's too much crap going on, But
- 26:11Speaker 2: I don't know. The Disney Plus is not that much more.
- 26:13Speaker 1: That's the thing.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Like if you try to get ESPN Plus on its own,
- 26:16Speaker 2: it's like almost the same price. So I'm like, why
- 26:18Speaker 2: would I do that when I get at least you know,
- 26:21Speaker 2: there's some stuff on Disney Plus that maybe I'll watch.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I mean, did they carry some of the old Marvel
- 26:26Speaker 2: stuff back before it was horrible? And they carry you know,
- 26:29Speaker 2: some movies that they had Home Alone up there. They
- 26:32Speaker 2: carry some like decent movies on there as well. I'm like, yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 2: all right, I'll just do it. So, yeah, I don't
- 26:40Speaker 2: know if you don't have yeah, I mean I don't.
- 26:43Speaker 2: I mean I do have cable though, so cable Cable
- 26:46Speaker 2: gives me, like I have all the the actual sports
- 26:49Speaker 2: networks here through cable of course, and then in addition,
- 26:52Speaker 2: I get all these ESPN Plus games through the Disney Plus.
- 26:56Speaker 2: I mean, you of course could do none of that
- 26:58Speaker 2: and find the stream. I don't think I'm allowed. I'm
- 27:01Speaker 2: not allowed to.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Say that on here though.
- 27:06Speaker 2: YouTube Premium is almost like they forced you'd have to
- 27:08Speaker 2: have it because the ads are so bad. Now I
- 27:11Speaker 2: only have it on one of my accounts on my personal,
- 27:13Speaker 2: not on this account, but on my personal So I
- 27:19Speaker 2: use that for watching, but then if I'm in a
- 27:20Speaker 2: comment as sports guy, I have to switch to my
- 27:23Speaker 2: to this account of comment on things with it. Yeah,
- 27:28Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna do things, you know, the
- 27:31Speaker 2: right way, I mean, yeah, I guess I would say
- 27:33Speaker 2: at Disney Plus, I mean that is what I do.
- 27:34Speaker 2: So I can't really say not to do that because
- 27:37Speaker 2: I am doing it.
- 27:40Speaker 1: There might be other ways, Like I mean, if you.
- 27:43Speaker 2: If you're gonna do all like streaming, like there there
- 27:46Speaker 2: are probably still things out there like sling and stuff
- 27:48Speaker 2: like that where you can choose exactly what you want,
- 27:52Speaker 2: but I don't know if they can if they would
- 27:53Speaker 2: give you all the ESPN Plus options, So I don't know.
- 27:58Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it might be something to look into,
- 28:00Speaker 2: Like there might be multiple services that are similar to that,
- 28:05Speaker 2: and then they're also uh, there are some other services
- 28:09Speaker 2: out there that kind of give you like and and
- 28:13Speaker 2: I know a couple of people who are doing that
- 28:16Speaker 2: that basically you wind up getting like every broadcast that
- 28:20Speaker 2: exists basically, which is uh, you know, those these things
- 28:25Speaker 2: are things that you're not supposed to be doing let's
- 28:27Speaker 2: just put it that way. I'm not gonna recommend that
- 28:29Speaker 2: you do those things, and I'm saying that some people do.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Let's not get this, Uh, these streams taken down by
- 28:34Speaker 2: the way. I was watching like Steve Merrill on wager
- 28:37Speaker 2: Talk one of his videos recently.
- 28:38Speaker 1: He's just mentioning like sports books.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Like some of the guys on that channel, like they
- 28:42Speaker 2: don't want to mention the specific sports books with some
- 28:45Speaker 2: du so I'm like, can I just say the name
- 28:47Speaker 2: of the sports book?
- 28:48Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. We have Drake and Illinois State.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Drake is definitely a bit down this year, like I said,
- 28:56Speaker 2: or like I have been saying, Drake coming up a
- 28:58Speaker 2: loss to Bell Mom but was a double digit loss.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I don't really see them overlooking Illinois State because Illinois State.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Is pretty good and Drake already lost.
- 29:06Speaker 2: To them by seventeen at home, so it could be
- 29:09Speaker 2: a spot where maybe Illinois State overlooks them. Problem with
- 29:12Speaker 2: that is that Illinois State just lost to Southern Illinois
- 29:15Speaker 2: at home and they only have Evansville up next.
- 29:17Speaker 1: They're not gonna be looking ahead to that. I wouldn't imagine.
- 29:20Speaker 2: They already killed Evansville in the first matchup at home.
- 29:24Speaker 2: So Illinois State might show up here because they're coming
- 29:26Speaker 2: off kind of an ugly loss to Southern Illinois. By
- 29:29Speaker 2: the way, you can explain why that happened, because they
- 29:32Speaker 2: had just played Belmont and Murray State on the road
- 29:34Speaker 2: and upset Murray State on the road. I think that
- 29:36Speaker 2: was an upset, So there was kind of a letdown
- 29:39Speaker 2: component there to Illinois State their game against Southern Illinois there,
- 29:44Speaker 2: so you can kind of explain why that was the case.
- 29:46Speaker 2: So if Illinois State shows up, you know, I mean,
- 29:50Speaker 2: they might be able to get this thing done.
- 29:51Speaker 1: They are the better team.
- 29:52Speaker 2: The number did initially drop from ten and a half
- 29:54Speaker 2: to nine here eighty percent of the tickets and nine
- 29:57Speaker 2: to nine percent of the cash on Illinois State. No
- 29:59Speaker 2: way that ca ashercentage is accurate. It's a tough game
- 30:03Speaker 2: to figure out. I could see arguments for both sides
- 30:05Speaker 2: again here, you know, I mean, I guess I would
- 30:11Speaker 2: still need to drake in the avenging road dog angle
- 30:14Speaker 2: here with that initial line move. But yeah, it's not
- 30:18Speaker 2: a game that I'd be interested in. You know, I'm
- 30:21Speaker 2: being selective, of course. Yes, the champions, Yes we are
- 30:30Speaker 2: the champions. Bradley at Northern Iowa at CBS Sports eight pm.
- 30:35Speaker 1: This is a pretty good game.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Northern Iowa is a bit under the radar, and this
- 30:39Speaker 2: is gonna be a bit of a I think contrast
- 30:41Speaker 2: of styles here. Bradley is a little bit faster, well,
- 30:44Speaker 2: kind of a mid tempo team. Ken Bum does have
- 30:46Speaker 2: them a little bit overrated though, though they are better offensively,
- 30:50Speaker 2: the defensively, Northern Iowa is very much the opposite. They're
- 30:54Speaker 2: actually excellent defensively top twenty five, but horrible offensively, which
- 30:59Speaker 2: is worry because they're gonna be laying points if you
- 31:01Speaker 2: want Northern Iowa in this game, and that gets a
- 31:04Speaker 2: little bit tricky when Northern Iowa can't score. But Northern
- 31:08Speaker 2: Iowa was unlucky according to ken Bomb, so there's a
- 31:11Speaker 2: huge luck disparity between.
- 31:13Speaker 1: These two teams.
- 31:15Speaker 2: And yes, Northern Iowa is the second slowest team in
- 31:18Speaker 2: all in all of college basketball right now, all Division one,
- 31:22Speaker 2: so they are definitely gonna try to slow the game down,
- 31:25Speaker 2: which might throw Bradley off a little bit. Bradley already
- 31:28Speaker 2: beat Northern Iowa at home. I believe they covered that number.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I think they're probably a smallish favorite in that one
- 31:34Speaker 2: they won by six. Bradley's only coming off of beating Valpo,
- 31:37Speaker 2: though not beating them by that much. But they do
- 31:40Speaker 2: a Belmont on deck, and that is a huge game,
- 31:42Speaker 2: with Belmont being definitely the best team in this conference
- 31:45Speaker 2: and at the top of the conference. Potential look ahead here,
- 31:49Speaker 2: especially because they did already beat Northern Iowa once Northern
- 31:52Speaker 2: Iowa again. Ken Bomb is telling you they're a bit
- 31:55Speaker 2: unlucky right now. They had this bad stretch of five
- 31:57Speaker 2: losses in a row here.
- 31:59Speaker 1: A bunch of them were on the road. Though now
- 32:01Speaker 1: they've kind of right to the ship.
- 32:03Speaker 2: They're coming up a win over Rabbinsville, which is not
- 32:05Speaker 2: gonna have them, you know, overconfident or anything like that.
- 32:09Speaker 2: I know they got Murray Stayed up next, but I
- 32:11Speaker 2: don't see them overlooking Bradley. Northern Iowa gets to host
- 32:14Speaker 2: a TV game on a Friday night, kind of an
- 32:17Speaker 2: isolated game here. I know they have to compete with
- 32:20Speaker 2: the Fox game, but still I think Northern Iowa.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Will get up.
- 32:23Speaker 2: I'll probably pack the stadium for that. I would have
- 32:26Speaker 2: to lean towards Northern Iowa and this one they're laying
- 32:29Speaker 2: three and a half down from four to three and
- 32:31Speaker 2: a half, looks like some of the money's coming back on.
- 32:33Speaker 1: The Bradley side.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Ken Bum, by the way, does have Northern Iowa winning
- 32:36Speaker 2: this game by like five or six, which I found
- 32:39Speaker 2: to be interesting. Again, some of that might be just
- 32:41Speaker 2: the luck index. Northern i was definitely underperformed, man, but
- 32:45Speaker 2: laying points with them concerns me, although at least in
- 32:49Speaker 2: this case, you only need to win by three and
- 32:50Speaker 2: a half, so it's kind of a short number there.
- 32:53Speaker 2: The total is low, of course, at one thirty three
- 32:55Speaker 2: and a half, which does seem like it's expected that
- 32:59Speaker 2: Northern Iowa is gonna make this.
- 33:00Speaker 1: An ugly slow game like they do.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Bradley has sixty percent of ticket sixty eight percent of
- 33:05Speaker 2: the cash by the time the game tips off. Maybe
- 33:09Speaker 2: Bradley won't be the public side though, and then if
- 33:11Speaker 2: people are gonna look at this game, they're gonna see, well,
- 33:13Speaker 2: Bradley has the better record, right, so why would you
- 33:16Speaker 2: want to lay points with Northern Iowa. But the oddsmakers
- 33:20Speaker 2: are kind of telling you what you need to know
- 33:21Speaker 2: here that there is not much of a disparity between
- 33:24Speaker 2: these two teams, and in fact, Ken Bomb actually probably
- 33:27Speaker 2: as Bradley as the lesser team he does. He's got
- 33:30Speaker 2: Northern Iowa one hundred and ninth in the country, and
- 33:34Speaker 2: then he's got Bradley. Where did I just see them?
- 33:36Speaker 2: He's got Bradley thirty ranking spots lower. So ken Bum
- 33:40Speaker 2: is really telling you something there that these teams are
- 33:42Speaker 2: not exactly what they appear on the surface. So my
- 33:47Speaker 2: opinion would be Northern Iowa in that one. And then
- 33:50Speaker 2: Belmont is playing at Illinois Chicago here on ESPNU. Illinois
- 33:54Speaker 2: Chicago has been surprising, but I do think they're fairly fraudulent.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I know, they reeled off eight straight in conference. Since
- 34:02Speaker 2: then they have lost a game. Belmont's coming in off
- 34:05Speaker 2: a win over Drake, kind of an easy win.
- 34:07Speaker 1: The worry with them is.
- 34:08Speaker 2: That are they gonna look ahead to Bradley in the
- 34:10Speaker 2: next game. That's the concern, I guess, because Bradley is
- 34:12Speaker 2: getting close to the top of the standings here Belmont.
- 34:18Speaker 1: They have not played on the Chicago yet, is that right?
- 34:20Speaker 1: Do they only play them once? No?
- 34:23Speaker 2: They did, my mistake, They played them already. Wait no,
- 34:26Speaker 2: yeah they did. Yeah, they played them already, but they
- 34:28Speaker 2: barely beat them. Actually, so Belmont might show up because
- 34:31Speaker 2: Belmont hosted Illinois Chicago earlier in the season is twelve
- 34:35Speaker 2: and a half point favorites and they only won by three.
- 34:38Speaker 2: So that's an extreme example where I talk about how
- 34:41Speaker 2: a team might take that team seriously if they gave
- 34:43Speaker 2: them a huge like run for their money when they
- 34:46Speaker 2: were a big favorite against them. That's the case here,
- 34:48Speaker 2: So Belmont might actually take Illeanois Chicago seriously for that reason,
- 34:53Speaker 2: and I guess because they've moved their way up the
- 34:54Speaker 2: standings here. Illinois Chicago lost an eight game win streak,
- 34:58Speaker 2: like I said, so sometimes that will hang it to
- 35:00Speaker 2: team over after they.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Lose a win streak like that, and they did it in.
- 35:03Speaker 2: A big game against Murray State where Illinois Chicago was
- 35:07Speaker 2: hanging in this game for a while. I know Murray
- 35:08Speaker 2: State did wind up covering, but Illeino Chicago didn't really
- 35:11Speaker 2: go away.
- 35:12Speaker 1: They were still within five.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Points pretty or there were within three they after they
- 35:16Speaker 2: came back late in this game. Murray State did have
- 35:18Speaker 2: a pretty big lead down the stretch here and did
- 35:21Speaker 2: leave for most of the game, but Owno Chicago cut
- 35:23Speaker 2: it to three late in the game a little bit
- 35:27Speaker 2: too little, too late, but Illinois Chicago did not let
- 35:30Speaker 2: up in that game, so I actually like Belmont in
- 35:33Speaker 2: this one, even though it looks like the public will
- 35:37Speaker 2: probably be on them too. It looks too easy, but
- 35:40Speaker 2: they're down from three and a half to three seventy
- 35:42Speaker 2: five percent of the tickets but ninety four percent of
- 35:44Speaker 2: the cash on them right now. I would probably lay
- 35:46Speaker 2: it with Bellmont if I was gonna play it again
- 35:49Speaker 2: they are. I think the spot sets up a lot
- 35:51Speaker 2: better for Belmont here, although I don't expect Illeoi Chicago
- 35:54Speaker 2: to overlook them, and they might really get up for
- 35:57Speaker 2: a game where they get to host a game on
- 35:59Speaker 2: a nash TV network, even if it is espn U.
- 36:03Speaker 2: This game is later than all the other games, so
- 36:05Speaker 2: it's gonna be the only game still going once the
- 36:08Speaker 2: other game's finished, so that's a pretty big deal. Illinois
- 36:11Speaker 2: Chicago not a team that's really used to that, so
- 36:14Speaker 2: I don't really want to actually, you know, have a
- 36:17Speaker 2: play on that, but based on the situation, I would
- 36:21Speaker 2: lean to Belmont in that one. All Right, NBA feels
- 36:25Speaker 2: weird not having a hockey, but that that is what's
- 36:28Speaker 2: going on, and I know the women's hockey already started
- 36:31Speaker 2: in the Olympics. I don't pay attention to the Olympics, man,
- 36:34Speaker 2: so I know the men's hockey might be interesting. It's
- 36:39Speaker 2: the only thing that might be slightly interesting to me,
- 36:43Speaker 2: although you know, I don't know.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I mean curling. Curling is kind of a sport.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Where it's like it's interesting if you play it, but
- 36:49Speaker 2: it's like golf. It's like the Gulf of the North basically,
- 36:52Speaker 2: like it's interesting playing it, but watching it is not interesting. Really,
- 36:57Speaker 2: I don't know, all right. And some of the other ones,
- 37:01Speaker 2: I mean, like I kind of like, you know, like
- 37:02Speaker 2: the biathlon, just just because it's so weird and it
- 37:06Speaker 2: evolves shooting, so you know, there is that.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I don't know. There are a few other sports that
- 37:11Speaker 1: are all right. In the winter.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Winter Olympics is better than summer. I'll tell you that,
- 37:18Speaker 2: although summer has basketball. Man, all right, uh NBA Miami
- 37:24Speaker 2: at Boston, here, my Boston Celtics. This is gonna be
- 37:28Speaker 2: my best bet.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Let's do it.
- 37:34Speaker 2: And yes, unfortunately I'm gonna be fading my Boston Celtics
- 37:37Speaker 2: here and taking the points with Miami. I don't know
- 37:41Speaker 2: if we can get a better number on this. The
- 37:42Speaker 2: number drop from seven and a half to six on
- 37:44Speaker 2: the Celtics. I don't exactly know what caused that line move.
- 37:48Speaker 2: I know the Celtics did just trade Simons away, but
- 37:50Speaker 2: of course he wasn't there for the Houston game either.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Sixty six percent of ticket seventy seven percent of the
- 37:56Speaker 2: cash on the Celtics. I don't agree with that cash percentage.
- 37:59Speaker 2: This spot really jumps out to me as a Miami
- 38:02Speaker 2: spot here. Miami's coming up an ugly home loss to
- 38:06Speaker 2: the Atlanta Hawks, Hawks, very mediocre team. Now Miami has
- 38:10Speaker 2: a couple of days off to recollect themselves, which I
- 38:14Speaker 2: think is good. Having days off when you just lost
- 38:16Speaker 2: by double digits at home is not a bad thing.
- 38:19Speaker 2: And it's also not a bad thing to go on
- 38:20Speaker 2: the road after you've faced a loss like that. They're
- 38:23Speaker 2: going up to Boston. They got two games on the
- 38:25Speaker 2: road here, and of course Boston and Washington. Obviously the
- 38:29Speaker 2: game that's gonna have their focus is the Boston Celtics.
- 38:32Speaker 2: I think we're gonna get a good effort out of
- 38:33Speaker 2: Miami in this one. I know Miami is dealing with
- 38:37Speaker 2: some injuries. I think Hero is still out. He is,
- 38:40Speaker 2: so we'll see how they deal with that, but he's
- 38:42Speaker 2: been out for a lot of the season, so no
- 38:45Speaker 2: change between their last game in this game for the Celtics.
- 38:49Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty difficult spot for the Celtics.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Celtics that were turning over from a road trip, although
- 38:54Speaker 2: it was only a two game road trip Tuesday and Wednesday,
- 38:58Speaker 2: but they're playing a third game in four days, all
- 39:00Speaker 2: in different cities, a fourth game in six days with
- 39:03Speaker 2: travel between all of them, and they're coming off pulling
- 39:07Speaker 2: off upsets and upset against Houston after they beat Dallas
- 39:10Speaker 2: as a favorite, of course, but they won both Texas
- 39:13Speaker 2: games there, including a ridiculous twenty one point bashing of
- 39:17Speaker 2: the Houston Rockets as an underdog in Houston. And that
- 39:21Speaker 2: was not only without Simon's who had been at least
- 39:23Speaker 2: scoring a lot for the Celtics, but his deepfense is
- 39:26Speaker 2: a liability. They traded him for Vuevic, and Vucevic had
- 39:30Speaker 2: not come over to the team yet. But Jalen Brown
- 39:33Speaker 2: also didn't play in that game. For whatever reason. They
- 39:35Speaker 2: gave him a rest and they said at the Houston
- 39:38Speaker 2: probably like took the.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Celtics league not seriously or something.
- 39:41Speaker 2: I don't know what happened in that game because I
- 39:43Speaker 2: didn't even think the spot was that bad for Houston
- 39:47Speaker 2: or that good for the Celtics and the Celtics colab
- 39:50Speaker 2: or them. So I think the Celtics are going to
- 39:52Speaker 2: be maybe a little bit unfocused coming back here man
- 39:54Speaker 2: against a Miami team that, by the way, they did
- 39:56Speaker 2: just beat in Miami by five back on January fifteen.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Miami without their point guard, of course, and Miami hasn't
- 40:04Speaker 2: been playing that well Jalen Brown. I'm assuming he'll probably
- 40:07Speaker 2: play in this game. I think that was just a
- 40:09Speaker 2: game of rest. But the Celtics have a huge game
- 40:11Speaker 2: on deck against the New York Knicks, who have become
- 40:14Speaker 2: one of their main rivals, of course, especially after that
- 40:17Speaker 2: playoff series last year.
- 40:19Speaker 1: The Celtics did get a little bit of revenge.
- 40:21Speaker 2: They did beat the Knicks the most recent time they
- 40:23Speaker 2: played in their one and one I believe against each
- 40:25Speaker 2: other this season. But that's a huge game, a TV
- 40:28Speaker 2: game Sunday afternoon against the Knicks. This is a sandwich
- 40:31Speaker 2: spot for the Celtics. It's a much much more positive
- 40:34Speaker 2: spot for Miami. We're gonna take the points and I
- 40:38Speaker 2: might not do it now. I might just wait because
- 40:41Speaker 2: you might be able to find that seven at some point.
- 40:43Speaker 2: I guess we might have to see what happens with this,
- 40:45Speaker 2: But to me it looks like yeah, I mean, the
- 40:48Speaker 2: public is probably gonna be on the side of the Celtics.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Don't know which way the money's gonna come in this one, though,
- 40:53Speaker 2: so I guess we'll see. But you might not get
- 40:55Speaker 2: the seven. There are six and a halves around right now.
- 40:58Speaker 2: From what I saw, seven would be better because teams
- 41:02Speaker 2: stop potentially fouling right around at seven, specifically because it's.
- 41:06Speaker 1: More than two three pointers. But we will see.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I'd probably still do it at six and a half, though,
- 41:11Speaker 2: so I would wait a little bit, see what happens,
- 41:14Speaker 2: and then grab the best number that you can.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Garret.
- 41:17Speaker 2: What's up man, Hornets? Yeah, the Hornets. They just beat
- 41:22Speaker 2: the Houston Rockets. I believe Hornets are They're gonna make
- 41:26Speaker 2: the playoffs. Man, I told you a little while, you
- 41:31Speaker 2: can probably still get a decent number on it. You
- 41:33Speaker 2: could play the Hornets to make the playoffs, which means
- 41:35Speaker 2: they have to get through the play in though, and
- 41:38Speaker 2: get one of the eight seeds.
- 41:40Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 41:43Speaker 2: To do that because I don't think they're gonna get
- 41:44Speaker 2: one of the top six seeds at this point, but
- 41:47Speaker 2: it seems like a decent bet. I think I could
- 41:49Speaker 2: definitely see them if they get into the play in
- 41:51Speaker 2: they're obviously dangerous. They could definitely get one of those
- 41:54Speaker 2: final playoff spots there playoffs, dude, because the Celtics might
- 42:00Speaker 2: be like the two seed. I am hoping that the
- 42:04Speaker 2: Celtics do not wind up drawing the Rockets to be
- 42:07Speaker 2: or excuse me, the Rockets the Hornets, to be honest,
- 42:10Speaker 2: like that would be the worst possible draw, probably, like
- 42:14Speaker 2: I would.
- 42:15Speaker 1: The Hornets are almost like the mini Celtics.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Like the Hornets, they have one of the Celtics' former
- 42:20Speaker 2: coaches there and they're doing the same thing. They jack
- 42:22Speaker 2: up a ton of threes. I don't know, they find
- 42:25Speaker 2: good shots. I don't know what to say, but I
- 42:28Speaker 2: would not want the Celtics to draw them, although of
- 42:30Speaker 2: course the Celtics will have a massive experience edge against them. Though,
- 42:35Speaker 2: if that is the draw that they get, like, I
- 42:37Speaker 2: don't think they'd actually lose, but it would be a
- 42:39Speaker 2: little bit dangerous.
- 42:40Speaker 1: I think, all right, and I.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Think Charlotte has actually played well against the Celtics. In
- 42:47Speaker 2: recent years as that would worry me. Nicks at Detroit
- 42:52Speaker 2: Amazon Prime. This is a good game, man, one of
- 42:54Speaker 2: the best games in the night for sure, actually the best,
- 42:59Speaker 2: because this primeub Ahead or the other game is shit.
- 43:01Speaker 2: This is definitely the best game of the night, and
- 43:03Speaker 2: Miami Boston is a decent game too. The rest of
- 43:05Speaker 2: these games are pretty bad. This is clearly the best
- 43:08Speaker 2: game of the night in the NBA. Knicks and Detroit.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Of course, the Knicks ended Detroit season last year, and
- 43:16Speaker 2: Detroit got revenge on them pretty much right away, or
- 43:19Speaker 2: not right away, but Detroit beat them the only time
- 43:21Speaker 2: they played so far this year.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I guess yeah.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Detroit is one to zero against the Knicks this year,
- 43:26Speaker 2: so the Knicks may very well show up for this.
- 43:29Speaker 1: But the spot to me looks tough.
- 43:30Speaker 2: The Knicks just had to go to double overtime and
- 43:33Speaker 2: beat Denver at home. The Knicks were favored in that game,
- 43:36Speaker 2: so I could see it going both ways, right, Like,
- 43:38Speaker 2: was that a grueling game against a good team or
- 43:43Speaker 2: are they gonna feel like they barely got by as
- 43:46Speaker 2: a fairly big favorite. That's kind of the question here.
- 43:49Speaker 2: It's difficult to figure out they're playing a third game
- 43:51Speaker 2: in four and a's though, all in different cities, and
- 43:53Speaker 2: coming off a double overtime game against a Denver team
- 43:56Speaker 2: that is definitely a good team, and they have Boston
- 43:59Speaker 2: on deck, which is a rivalry game. I mean, I
- 44:03Speaker 2: expect them to show up here too, but the spot
- 44:05Speaker 2: to me looks pretty difficult. Wor's for Detroit. You know
- 44:09Speaker 2: they're gonna be in an angry mood, a bounce back mood.
- 44:11Speaker 1: They're staying at home. I know they're on a back to.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Back, but part of the reason why I faded them
- 44:16Speaker 2: yesterday with Washington was because they had this Knicks game
- 44:19Speaker 2: on deck, and they had had Denver the game before that,
- 44:22Speaker 2: so you know, it was a bad spot for Detroit yesterday.
- 44:28Speaker 2: They're at least staying at home here, even though they
- 44:29Speaker 2: are playing on the back to back. They got blown
- 44:32Speaker 2: out or not blown out, but they lost as a
- 44:36Speaker 2: huge favorite to Washington, so I expect them to bounce
- 44:38Speaker 2: back here.
- 44:40Speaker 1: I lean Detroit in this game.
- 44:42Speaker 2: The money seems like it agrees after the Knicks flip
- 44:44Speaker 2: from a two point dog to a one point favorite.
- 44:47Speaker 2: Oddsmakers are telling you the Knicks of the better team, though,
- 44:49Speaker 2: so that does worry me because if the public gets
- 44:51Speaker 2: involved here, you might think, well, they're gonna jump on Detroit.
- 44:55Speaker 2: For the most part is why wouldn't you, right, Like,
- 44:57Speaker 2: Detroit has the better record and they're an underdog, and
- 45:00Speaker 2: oddsmakers are telling you the Knicks are the better team.
- 45:02Speaker 1: But at this spot, I prefer Detroit.
- 45:04Speaker 2: And the Knicks are also really bad on the road
- 45:07Speaker 2: eleven and twelve after they.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Unfortunately beat the Wizards up and beat me.
- 45:13Speaker 2: In their most recent road game, but still that's not
- 45:15Speaker 2: an impressive win beating the Wizards. Knicks are still below
- 45:18Speaker 2: five hundred on the road. Detroit has been excellent at
- 45:20Speaker 2: home at twenty and six, and you're just picking the
- 45:23Speaker 2: winner here, and I think the spot is a lot
- 45:25Speaker 2: better for Detroit.
- 45:26Speaker 1: I would have to lean to Detroit here.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Fifty nine percent of the cash on Detroit as well,
- 45:31Speaker 2: So yeah, I agree with Detroit in that game. You're
- 45:35Speaker 2: on Detroit, you're biased. I think it is the right side.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Thirty one bucks for a ticket for what for nosebleeds
- 45:44Speaker 2: in this in the Knicks Pistons game, let me say, yeah,
- 45:50Speaker 2: you're probably gonna be way up in the balcony, but yeah,
- 45:52Speaker 2: I mean you could probably get a ticket. Yeah, and
- 45:57Speaker 2: then for the Celtics game, it's up more expensive because
- 46:01Speaker 2: it's the fucking Celtics.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Dude.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Detroit people don't want to go into Detroit because it's
- 46:06Speaker 2: such a violent city. Man, people don't want to do it.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Boston is not quite like that. It's a smaller city.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Everything is way more expensive in Boston. But the cheapest
- 46:15Speaker 2: seeds of this Celtics Heat game are eighty one, even
- 46:18Speaker 2: though the Heat aren't even that good this year. One concern,
- 46:22Speaker 2: by the way, is the Celtics are definitely good at
- 46:24Speaker 2: home at sixteen and eight. Miami hasn't been good on
- 46:26Speaker 2: the road at eleven and fifteen. But we're only asking Miami.
- 46:29Speaker 1: To cover here. Indiana at Milwaukee.
- 46:31Speaker 2: This has been a playoff matchup, I think the last
- 46:34Speaker 2: couple of years playoffs, but I don't think they really
- 46:36Speaker 2: care now at this point, and this is not the
- 46:39Speaker 2: same matchup as we have no Haliburn for Indiana, no
- 46:42Speaker 2: Jannis for Milwaukee. Indiana is starting a road trip, so
- 46:45Speaker 2: it should be a positive spot for them coming off
- 46:48Speaker 2: a couple of losses at home.
- 46:49Speaker 1: You know it included to the Jazz.
- 46:51Speaker 2: You know, I talk about this when teams are not
- 46:53Speaker 2: doing well at home, they go out on the road,
- 46:55Speaker 2: especially after a couple of days off, to break that
- 46:58Speaker 2: losing momentum.
- 46:59Speaker 1: It could be a pos A spot. They should be focused
- 47:02Speaker 1: coming into this one.
- 47:03Speaker 2: Milwaukee did just barely get by New Orleans on Wednesday
- 47:07Speaker 2: at home, had to go to overtime to beat a
- 47:09Speaker 2: bad Pelican team, so they barely escaped and that did
- 47:13Speaker 2: continue their momentum at least into this game. So which
- 47:17Speaker 2: way do we want to go with this? I honestly
- 47:19Speaker 2: don't know. The money is saying the box. The bucks
- 47:22Speaker 2: are down from one and a half to one, but
- 47:24Speaker 2: fifty tickets ninety one percent of the cash on the
- 47:27Speaker 2: bucks looks like the real money maybe indicating on the
- 47:30Speaker 2: bucks here. I don't have a strong opinion. I think
- 47:32Speaker 2: both teams are gonna be in focused spots in that one.
- 47:35Speaker 2: So that one has been to me. That one is
- 47:37Speaker 2: a real toss up in pretty much every way. You
- 47:43Speaker 2: love the day, what do you gay? Don't stay too
- 47:48Speaker 2: long where you don't belong? Is it that sounds like
- 47:53Speaker 2: a is that a song? Yes, Carolina got or Susie
- 47:59Speaker 2: Charlotte got White back from the bulls.
- 48:01Speaker 1: That is correct, And he's another one of those guys.
- 48:04Speaker 2: He's a defensive liability though, Man, but he's one of
- 48:07Speaker 2: those guys that he's gonna be firing up shots. So
- 48:10Speaker 2: there is that, but he's not good on the defensive end.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Ken Wood from Michigan. I don't know who that is exactly,
- 48:17Speaker 2: but all right, you never got pressed in Detroit.
- 48:23Speaker 1: I think it probably depends on which neighborhood you're in.
- 48:26Speaker 2: I'm not very familiar with Detroit, though, I try to
- 48:29Speaker 2: avoid Detroit at all costs. Man, well, I don't want
- 48:32Speaker 2: to go to Michigan at all. Gritilda, I don't know
- 48:39Speaker 2: that from Banjo Kazui. Not broom Hilda, bruin Hilda. However
- 48:43Speaker 2: you pronounce her name. I say broom Hilda because I'm
- 48:47Speaker 2: like she's a witch. She has a broom. New Orleans
- 48:51Speaker 2: at Minnesota. New Orleans is coming off that double ot
- 48:54Speaker 2: or single ot whatever it was, single ot against Milwaukee.
- 48:59Speaker 2: They're probably to be focused though, because they're probably gonna
- 49:01Speaker 2: be looking to try to get a win on the
- 49:03Speaker 2: road trip. I don't think they're gonna overlook Minnesota here.
- 49:05Speaker 2: But yes, they did have to play an overtime game
- 49:08Speaker 2: at Milwaukee, and I presume Milwaukee were still favorites in
- 49:11Speaker 2: that game even without Yannis because New Orleans sucks. Minnesota
- 49:16Speaker 2: did just get a decent win on the road against Toronto,
- 49:18Speaker 2: though it was a big game. I think it was
- 49:20Speaker 2: a big game for both teams really, although maybe bigger
- 49:23Speaker 2: for Toronto.
- 49:25Speaker 1: So Minnesota is coming out of that.
- 49:26Speaker 2: But they were turning over from a road trip and
- 49:28Speaker 2: they've been on the road for almost a week, although
- 49:30Speaker 2: they only went to well, they went to Memphis at Toronto.
- 49:32Speaker 2: Kind of a weird road trip going to two locations
- 49:37Speaker 2: that aren't that close.
- 49:38Speaker 1: To each other, so it is kind of weird.
- 49:40Speaker 2: And they do have an ESPN game against the Clippers
- 49:42Speaker 2: up next, and the Clippers have been hot, so it
- 49:46Speaker 2: isn't the greatest spot for Minnesota here. Still, that return
- 49:48Speaker 2: home spot might come into player, or they might be
- 49:51Speaker 2: a little bit unfocused. They might not totally take New
- 49:54Speaker 2: Orleans seriously because they stink. So I probably would lean
- 49:58Speaker 2: to the Pelicans in this one, plus the points. Obviously,
- 50:01Speaker 2: when I say I'm leaning, I'm talking about spread tea.
- 50:04Speaker 2: Wolves down from eleven to nine and a half. So
- 50:06Speaker 2: the money has look it looks like it has been
- 50:08Speaker 2: indicating on the Pelicans seventy percent of the tickets around.
- 50:11Speaker 1: The Tea Wolves.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Of course they're going to be public sixty two percent
- 50:14Speaker 2: of the cash on New Orleans. I mean, this isn't football,
- 50:18Speaker 2: so it doesn't really matter that it went through the ten,
- 50:20Speaker 2: but it would be a situation, you know, try to
- 50:22Speaker 2: get the best number that you can if you do,
- 50:24Speaker 2: like New Orleans. There, I agree with New Orleans in
- 50:26Speaker 2: that one. Sharraq you mean the former president of France,
- 50:32Speaker 2: Jacques Sharraq Am. I that old Michigan ain't great. Yeah, no, no,
- 50:39Speaker 2: it's not.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Name.
- 50:41Speaker 2: One good thing about it Memphis at Portland. I guess
- 50:46Speaker 2: Grand Rapids is such a depressed city that they have
- 50:50Speaker 2: the most breweries per capita in the world or something.
- 50:54Speaker 2: Grand Rapids Founders Brewing is there. They make some really
- 50:56Speaker 2: good brewis man. Back when I was drinking alcoholic year,
- 51:00Speaker 2: I was a fan of Founders for sure, and they
- 51:02Speaker 2: make some really good stuff.
- 51:03Speaker 1: They're in Grand Rapids.
- 51:04Speaker 2: That's one good thing about Michigan. I guess Memphis is
- 51:09Speaker 2: at Portland. Memphis just beat Sacramento last night. Not impressive,
- 51:14Speaker 2: but it'll carry their momentum into this game. At least
- 51:17Speaker 2: Portland has been struggling again. They've lost a bunch of
- 51:21Speaker 2: games in a row after they were hot for a while.
- 51:22Speaker 2: This is a very streaky Portland team. They've lost six
- 51:25Speaker 2: games in a row now, but all of those are
- 51:27Speaker 2: the pretty good teams. All of them were to winning
- 51:29Speaker 2: teams except for Washington, but that was kind of sandwiched
- 51:32Speaker 2: in there, and I think that might have been a
- 51:34Speaker 2: play for me, to be honest. It was Sandwich, Diymmetry,
- 51:36Speaker 2: Boston and New York, and it was a back to back,
- 51:39Speaker 2: so you can kind.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Of excuse Portland for that.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Now they're sitting at home, they've lost two more games
- 51:44Speaker 2: in a row at home. Maybe they'll get up for
- 51:46Speaker 2: a game finally. I mean, they're not really gonna overlook
- 51:49Speaker 2: anybody when they've been losing all these games. But they
- 51:51Speaker 2: did play pretty tough against Phoenix back on Tuesday. But
- 51:54Speaker 2: now they've had a few days off. Having a few
- 51:56Speaker 2: days off might help them disrupt that momentum. So I
- 51:59Speaker 2: don't think it's a whole horrible spot for Portland here.
- 52:01Speaker 2: The money is coming in on Portland. They're a seven
- 52:04Speaker 2: and a half point favorite, and they are that way
- 52:06Speaker 2: for a reason.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Of course. The Grizz of course, are without Eaedy.
- 52:10Speaker 2: They're basically rebuilding now, so they're kind of a dead
- 52:13Speaker 2: team at this point. You know, the young guys are
- 52:15Speaker 2: gonna get a shot, though, and maybe they'll play with
- 52:17Speaker 2: some amount of motivation, because when young guys that don't
- 52:20Speaker 2: usually get to play get to start playing, a lot
- 52:23Speaker 2: of times they will play with intensity because, you know,
- 52:26Speaker 2: because they get to finally get their shot. But the Grizzlies,
- 52:29Speaker 2: of course, they're without Morant, They're without Edy. They just
- 52:31Speaker 2: traded away Triple J Jackson. Is that Jackson Junior traded
- 52:37Speaker 2: him to the Jazz so another Jay. So I don't know, man,
- 52:42Speaker 2: but I would probably lean to the Trailblazers in this one.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Looks think the money is coming in that way.
- 52:46Speaker 2: They're up just seven and a half point favorite, with
- 52:48Speaker 2: Jews sixty percent of tickets ninety three percent of the
- 52:50Speaker 2: cash on them.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Not a strong opinion for me though.
- 52:53Speaker 2: And then the last Amazon Prime game is unfortunately for
- 52:56Speaker 2: the viewers, and I guess for Amazon Prime, although I
- 52:59Speaker 2: guess they don't really need the money. Clippers at Sacramento,
- 53:03Speaker 2: this is this is a bad game, man. The Clippers
- 53:07Speaker 2: are better than they look, and they are coming off
- 53:08Speaker 2: to blowout losses though, where a blow loss to Cleveland
- 53:12Speaker 2: in their last game very embarrassing. I lost my double
- 53:15Speaker 2: digits to Philly the game before that, but they were
- 53:17Speaker 2: returning over from a road trip on a back to
- 53:20Speaker 2: back in that game, so that was not an easy spot.
- 53:23Speaker 2: And then I really thought the Clippers would show up
- 53:25Speaker 2: in that game against Cleveland. I thought the Cleveland was
- 53:28Speaker 2: gonna be overrated because that was the team swapped players,
- 53:31Speaker 2: and Garland I think is hurt. But the Cleveland Cleveland
- 53:35Speaker 2: got James Harden, and I think Harden is a head
- 53:38Speaker 2: case man, so I think he's a little bit overrated.
- 53:40Speaker 2: But the Clippers had like twenty four turnovers in that game, man,
- 53:44Speaker 2: and that's why they lost that game. Unbelievable amount of
- 53:47Speaker 2: turnovers from the Clippers in that game. I don't know
- 53:49Speaker 2: what happened in that game. They were just totally unfocused.
- 53:52Speaker 2: But now having a day off getting to travel, they're
- 53:55Speaker 2: staying in California for this one, going up the coast
- 53:58Speaker 2: kind of in an embarrassed mood. Here clearly the better
- 54:00Speaker 2: of these two teams. I think they're gonna show up focus,
- 54:04Speaker 2: But they do have an ESPN game against Minnesota next
- 54:06Speaker 2: and then they have two games in a row against Houston,
- 54:09Speaker 2: then Denver than the Lakers, so they do have all bigger.
- 54:11Speaker 1: Games up next.
- 54:12Speaker 2: But again, I think when you get blown out like this,
- 54:15Speaker 2: you've lost a couple of games in a row, you're
- 54:17Speaker 2: gonna show up.
- 54:17Speaker 1: Plus, the Clippers are still.
- 54:18Speaker 2: Trying to make sure they get into the playoffs here,
- 54:22Speaker 2: which is not a certainty.
- 54:23Speaker 1: I think they're shooting for it. Kings should show up
- 54:27Speaker 1: as well.
- 54:27Speaker 2: I mean, they've lost a ton of games in a
- 54:29Speaker 2: row at this point, ten games in a row, a
- 54:31Speaker 2: lot of them were on the road, and of course
- 54:34Speaker 2: they came back home and lost again in a return
- 54:36Speaker 2: home spot, not a good spot.
- 54:39Speaker 1: They should be focused.
- 54:40Speaker 2: At the very least, they get to host an Amazon
- 54:42Speaker 2: Prime game here, so I see both teams showing up
- 54:45Speaker 2: for this, but I think the better team should win
- 54:47Speaker 2: out in that case. The Clippers are only a three
- 54:49Speaker 2: and a half point favorite, and the public is not
- 54:52Speaker 2: that heavy on them, sixty four percent of tickets eighty
- 54:54Speaker 2: two percent of the cash on the Clippers. I think
- 54:56Speaker 2: the public not being heavy on them is basically because
- 55:01Speaker 2: the Clippers still have a bad record, so I think
- 55:03Speaker 2: the public is not really high on them, and probably
- 55:06Speaker 2: not high on them without Harden.
- 55:08Speaker 1: H but I think, yeah, Harden is over dude.
- 55:11Speaker 2: He's never gonna win a championship, and neither was Russell Westbrook. Uh.
- 55:15Speaker 2: And they were on that same Thunder team, you remember
- 55:17Speaker 2: that really good Thunder team, which I think didn't They
- 55:20Speaker 2: have Harden, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook all on that
- 55:24Speaker 2: team at one point and they couldn't get through like
- 55:27Speaker 2: the Spurs and the Calves back then. They're never gonna win,
- 55:31Speaker 2: Like I think their chemistry killers. Man, They're never gonna
- 55:34Speaker 2: win a championship. So Harden. I've also been.
- 55:39Speaker 1: Hearing that Harden. Uh. Cleveland is like preparing for Harden because.
- 55:43Speaker 2: I guess he's gonna be hitting up the strip clubs there.
- 55:48Speaker 2: I guess that's that's a that's a thing that he's
- 55:50Speaker 2: known for. So the Cleveland strip clubs are gonna start
- 55:53Speaker 2: making a lot more money with James Harden around.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Harden's gonna go broke if he keeps doing that.
- 55:59Speaker 2: Man, these NBA players then they don't know how to
- 56:02Speaker 2: budget other money, even if they are rich for the
- 56:05Speaker 2: time being. I'm not saying he's a bad player, obviously not.
- 56:09Speaker 2: I remember watching him in college too. I was like, Yeah,
- 56:11Speaker 2: this guy's obviously gonna be good in the NBA when
- 56:14Speaker 2: he was on Arizona State.
- 56:15Speaker 1: But I think he's a head case. Man. That's the problem.
- 56:19Speaker 2: He's got all the all these games where he doesn't
- 56:21Speaker 2: play for personal issues. I don't know, man, but I
- 56:25Speaker 2: would have to lean to the Clippers in this one.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Of course, they don't have hard in anymore. Wich might
- 56:28Speaker 2: be not that much of a negative, but you know,
- 56:31Speaker 2: it worries me that it looks too easy to lay
- 56:33Speaker 2: three and a half against a horrible Kings team. But
- 56:37Speaker 2: I think the better team should win out in that one,
- 56:39Speaker 2: and that's gonna do it.
- 56:40Speaker 1: Man.
- 56:41Speaker 2: The one play that I have today is well, I'm
- 56:43Speaker 2: gonna give you an extra play. But the one play
- 56:45Speaker 2: that I have is Miami the heat plus the points
- 56:48Speaker 2: against my Celtics. Now, before I get out of here,
- 56:51Speaker 2: i'm gonna give you an extra play in the Super Bowl.
- 56:55Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you an additional player prop here because
- 56:58Speaker 2: again I hadn't thought about this, and I heard people
- 57:00Speaker 2: talking about it.
- 57:01Speaker 1: We're gonna do this. We're gonna go with.
- 57:02Speaker 2: Drake May over nineteen and a half completions which seems
- 57:07Speaker 2: like a pretty low number, but I mean it's I mean,
- 57:10Speaker 2: if you look at what he's done in the playoffs,
- 57:12Speaker 2: he has not hit this in any of the playoff games.
- 57:15Speaker 2: But I'm gonna not worry about that as much. Here
- 57:18Speaker 2: it's at minus one twenty. I know you can probably
- 57:20Speaker 2: get a pick him price at twenty, and then if
- 57:22Speaker 2: you hit twenty, it'll push you know. I mean either
- 57:26Speaker 2: I could see going either way with that. Maybe you
- 57:28Speaker 2: should go over twenty pick him. I'll put it in
- 57:30Speaker 2: the description which one I want. But I think this
- 57:33Speaker 2: is a good move actually, because I think we're actually
- 57:35Speaker 2: maybe getting a little bit of value on it. Now,
- 57:38Speaker 2: let's find Drake May here for a minute. We're gonna
- 57:41Speaker 2: look at his game log here for a minute. I
- 57:43Speaker 2: got a few things to show you on this one,
- 57:46Speaker 2: so before I get out of here, Yes, let's look
- 57:50Speaker 2: at Drake May here. If you look at Drake May
- 57:53Speaker 2: during the playoffs, it looks like he's never gonna hit
- 57:55Speaker 2: this because he didn't at all. He's had seventeen completions,
- 58:00Speaker 2: sixteen completions and ten in the playoff games, and he
- 58:04Speaker 2: didn't really even throw enough attempts to really get to
- 58:06Speaker 2: this number, but I don't think that's gonna be the
- 58:08Speaker 2: case with how this Super Bowl plays out. And also
- 58:11Speaker 2: remember they were winning these games against the Chargers in Houston,
- 58:15Speaker 2: so they didn't have to throw the ball a lot,
- 58:17Speaker 2: and that even though I like the Patriots to cover
- 58:19Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, I don't think they're gonna have
- 58:21Speaker 2: like a lead in this game where they're just gonna
- 58:23Speaker 2: be running the football constantly, and they're not gonna be
- 58:25Speaker 2: able to against Seattle, who has one of the best
- 58:28Speaker 2: rushing defenses. Both these teams are really good against the run,
- 58:32Speaker 2: so I think you're gonna see a lot of pass
- 58:34Speaker 2: attempts out of Drake May here. So that's that's one thing.
- 58:39Speaker 2: If you look at his regular season, it's been a
- 58:40Speaker 2: lot different. And I know they were mostly not facing
- 58:43Speaker 2: defenses like Seattle, and I know the best defense is
- 58:47Speaker 2: the Patriots face were Houston and Denver in the playoffs
- 58:49Speaker 2: here playoffs, So yes, the Patriots the regular season, they
- 58:54Speaker 2: mostly did this against bad defenses. I know May did
- 58:57Speaker 2: not hit this against a good Cleveland defense, but you
- 59:00Speaker 2: look at how that game played out. A lot of
- 59:02Speaker 2: these games where he didn't. So let me gather my
- 59:05Speaker 2: thoughts here, Drake may hit this number. I believe in
- 59:09Speaker 2: eleven out of eleven out of his seventeen games he
- 59:13Speaker 2: hit the number. So that's one thing to consider here.
- 59:18Speaker 2: Uh so he had fewer than that, and let's see one, two, three,
- 59:25Speaker 2: Oh no, wait, he missed it seven times. The two
- 59:27Speaker 2: of those times he hit exactly nineteen. So that's that's
- 59:30Speaker 2: what I was thinking of. So all right, so he went,
- 59:36Speaker 2: I get no, I guess he went ten and seven
- 59:38Speaker 2: then to this number during the regular seasons. That's that's
- 59:41Speaker 2: still pretty good. He was hitting it more often than
- 59:43Speaker 2: he wasn't. But if you look at the games where
- 59:44Speaker 2: he didn't hit it, you know, there were games of
- 59:48Speaker 2: their way ahead for the most part, Like he had
- 59:50Speaker 2: fourteen against Caroline and he only threw seventeen passes because
- 59:53Speaker 2: the game was a blowout, so they didn't need to
- 59:56Speaker 2: do anything against New Orleans.
- 59:59Speaker 1: New Orleans believe it not as a strong defense, so
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: In that game, they were winning the whole game as well,
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: so they just didn't really need to air it out much.
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: Against Cleveland, they're really good defense and they're blowing Cleveland out,
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: so they didn't need to do it in that game either,
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: and then you know he did have some stinkers and
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: they are sure for sure, and then he actually was
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: really not good in that Buffalo game, that most recent
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Buffalo game. So yeah, there is a chance that this
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: doesn't happen. But if you look at how this game
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: is gonna play out, Seattle gives up a ton of receptions, dude.
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: Seattle has given up the fifth most pass attempts.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: So because teams can't really.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Run on Seattle, they throw the ball a lot.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: So Seattle's given that up.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: And they've actually given up a pretty high opponent completion
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: percentage to at sixty two and a half percent.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: If this number is right.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: I don't know if it is, though, the Dolphins allowing
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: seventy two percent seems completely insane. Actually, the Seahawks are
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: in the bottom third of percentages. Maybe stat muse is
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: fucking this up. I don't know, because sometimes they do.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: But the Seahawks, I'm pretty sure this number is accurate.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: The Seahawks have allowed the fifth most pass attempts this year,
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: and they don't allow a lot of yards, but we
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: don't need yards in this and we just need completions.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: That's the thing.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: The Seahawks force opponents to throw a lot of short passes.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: They force them into the short passing game, and that's
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: what we want for a prop like this. So let
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: me see and then we also have the I wanted
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: to see the opponent.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Completions here. Let me just most receptions here. It is
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: opponent completions.
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: Seattle has allowed the tenth most completions in the NFL
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: as well to opposeing quarterbacks.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: So uh.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: Yeah, so they've allowed the sixth most attempts and the
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: tenth most completions. So the way that they play deepfense
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: does bear that out that way. And I showed you
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: guys when I talked about the when I was talking
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: about the Hailani prop. On the other side, as far
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: as running backs getting reception, Seattle and the Patriots both
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: give up a lot of completions to running backs, so
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Seattle gives up the most, so the Patriots might be
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: dumping it off to running backs a lot here. And
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: I know I talked about Ramandras Stevenson, but I would
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: actually not be surprised if they if they use Henderson
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: more in this game, because you don't know what they're
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: really gonna do. Man and they might do something surprising,
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: and maybe Henderson will get involved more in this game,
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: even though he is a rookie. And I know they
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: trust Stevenson more because he's more experienced, but you might
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: see Henderson take some of Stevenson's.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: Workloads.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: So that would be the other reason why I don't
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: really love the Henderson the Stevenson excuse me props as
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: much because the Patriots have always kind of done this
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Under Belichick. The Patriots were real mystery as far as
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: what they were gonna do with the running backs, which
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: is it wreaked havoc on fantasy owners. I never wanted
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: a Patriot running back because you never knew how they
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: were gonna use them.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: So we'll see. But I also showed you.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: That Hunter Henry has done really well against zone d
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: which is what the Seattle Seahawks play. There are a
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: zone defense primarily almost entirely, and I showed you the
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: Seattle also gives up a lot of completions to tight ends.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: So Seattle gives up a lot of a lot of
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: completions to tight ends and to running backs, and those
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: are the high percentage completions man, And I think the
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: Patriots are gonna be focusing on getting Drake May high
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: completion like high percentage passing attempts in this one, so
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: that's what I'm expecting a lot of short throws.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna happen. Man.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: The Seattle's defense kind of puts you into that state
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: as well, where you're not gonna be able to run
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: the football as much. You're gonna have to do like
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: the short passing game is gonna have to kind of
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: replace the running game.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: So I like this. I think it's gonna happen.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see a decent amount of completions
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: to running backs and tight ends, and again, of course
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: a lot of those short passes they're a lot easier
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: to catch, so high percentage completions, let's do it, man.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: So we're gonna add Drake May over his completions. This
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: number I think has been basically around this number pretty
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: much all week, although probably you gotta play it now
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: before it gets too high. But yeah, I mean, maybe
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: you want to go over twenty because it'sead of picking
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: prices set in nineteen and.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: A half and it'll push.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: If you get the twenty, we'll see. I'll put it
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: in the one of the show descriptions. I'll add it
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: to the super Bowl show, I guess. So that's gonna
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: do it man, And once again, Miami heat of the
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: play tonight for me. So those are the two plays
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: that I'm giving you today. I one is for a
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: night game tonight, of course, and one is for the
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: super Bowl. That's gonna do it. Learn it Tod on Twitter.

- 1:05:13Speaker 2: I haven't seen the most recent one. I'm surprised they
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: made another one. But Sneako retweeted my video like on Twitter.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: I didn't see that happen. When did that?
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: He played the inst like the guy.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: That posts that video. He posts there's a guy on
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: Instagram that posted my video. Every Day Sneaker played that
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: on his show, but he didn't know it was me. Well,
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: this guy seems like a like he seems like something
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: that I can't say without getting this channel nuked. Probably Yeah,
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: he's completely soft and weak and not a man.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: How about that?
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: And probably jealous of me as well. All right, anyway, Yes,

- 1:06:03Speaker 2: want to support me. I know I haven't been up
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: with the yuke stuff recently. I'll probably i'll post a
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Green Day cover just in honor of them. Maybe I'll
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: get one done today in honor of them playing the
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I do a really I do like kind
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: of a slow like beat sham version of long View.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: Maybe I'll just do that, even though they're probably not
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: even gonna play it. But that's an actual good Green
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Day song, unlike Yeah, the crap that they've been putting
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: out for the last like I don't know, several years
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: or whatever. Though there were a couple of songs on
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: their most recent album that actually are not that bad
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: though Dilemma is good, but some of the other songs
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: on that album are just so bad anyway. And I
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: got to see them play Dilemma live who at that
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: show where they played Dookie and American Idiot in full.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: They did play some of their news stuff as well,
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: and a few of their other songs. But whatever, crazy
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: show they played for like three hours at that show.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: That was a crazy show at Fenway pack Kid all
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: Right and the Hot I think the Hot, No, We're
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: the Hives one of the openers there. No, the Hives,
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: I think open for food Fighters. I forget who the
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: other bands. It might have been Smashing Pumpkins.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: I forget who the other bands were on that Green
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Day ticket. There was one other, like pretty well known
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: band on the billing though it might have been The Pumpkins. Dude,
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: I actually love Smashing Pumpkins man, very very unique sound.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: I like Billy Corgan. People call him a.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: Conspiracy theorist, but I think he has some He's on
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: the right track with some of his thoughts, and he's
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: a fellow bald Man. And that was another you know
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: group that I grew up with listening to and they
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: haven't gone totally off the rails into political propaganda. So
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: although their new music isn't exactly great, and they're trying
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: to do like rock operas with not much success, but
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: not like Green Day's political rock opera which was more
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: successful but was also lame. The American Idiot which was
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: fun to see live though anyway, but as I saying,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: I don't even know what I was saying patroon dot
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: com slash and Learn to Toad, I'm fucking up my plugs.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: I'm turning into Austin Picard Man five minute plugs, fifteen
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: minute plugs. You get the bonus yuke stuff there and
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: then Loser Cast of course every Tuesday night.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: You can check that out too.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: Peace everybody for now, and I'll figure out what I'm
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: gonna do. I don't know if I'm gonna be back
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: tonight after I get back from this open show or not,
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: but we'll sing to do the college basketball. But I
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: am definitely gonna handicap. I have to handicap the board
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: during the day today, so there's.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Gonna be a lot of games. We'll figure it out.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: I posted an updated bracketology last night, so I think
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the bracketology update shows on Mondays. For
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: the most part, I'll do like a final one at
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: some point shortly before the bracket gets announced. Try to
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: do that, but I might the final final one. There's
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: no time for us. So I'm just gonna put it
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: out like probably on Twitter, like right before it gets
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: released while I'm watching the uh the Selections show and
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: eating Burger King as I usually do, and then.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: I forget what else. Oh yeah, but yeah, I posted
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: the update.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: From last night on Twitter, so you can check that
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: out too.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: That's gonna do it. Peace for now, everybody,
