- 1:52officially in the dog days. No more world cup.
- 1:55Um, I do enjoy betting on baseball, but I don't

- 2:01Cincinnati reds about to go through their fourth
- 2:03rebuild since I've been alive. So that's fun.

- 2:40doing good shawn how you doing shawn how you
- 2:48doing John, how are you doing? Uh -oh. I think
- 2:53he's trying to message us via... Oh, he just...
- 2:57He can't hear us. BRB, keep talking. All right.
- 3:01Oh, it's just me and Chris now. All right. So,
- 3:04yeah, Sean's doing all right, probably. But,
- 3:10yeah, so the last time we spoke, the World Cup
- 3:15final happened. Argentina... It's hard it's hard
- 3:20to say Sometimes in soccer whether or not you
- 3:23got your shit rocked, but they kind of got their
- 3:27shit rocked Like It's this the score wasn't indicative
- 3:33of it. However, if you watch the game first of
- 3:36all Sorry That was not fun really wanted it to
- 3:42go to penalty kicks as a A slight token of appreciation
- 3:48for for sitting through that I mean it was exciting,
- 3:53but like it was just like not a ton of shit happening
- 3:56Spain was just in their end the entire time essentially
- 4:01and The goalie broke the record for saves in
- 4:07a World Cup game, I think and made for Argentina
- 4:10they lost one nut one nil and Hey, man, that's
- 4:15that's soccer, you know I Really don't have much
- 4:19insight after that except for you know, maybe
- 4:22maybe messy, you know, this is probably his last
- 4:25one, but also he he is the goat Essentially basically
- 4:31it Based on what people have said on the internet
- 4:37it feels like He hasn't really lost a step since
- 4:42coming to the MLS, which If you're an avid enjoyer
- 4:47of soccer, then you know, you're probably like
- 4:49oh, that's pretty nice You know because like
- 4:52the you know, the the level of play is far less
- 4:55Than then but basically every other league so
- 5:00But hey hats off to Spain They did it they earned
- 5:05it they to beat them to to be the best you got
- 5:09to beat the best and I mean, they beat the reigning
- 5:12World Cup champions. So hey, hats off to them.
- 5:16Chris, do you have any insight or did I just
- 5:19say everything? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that
- 5:22was as much of an ass whooping as a one nothing
- 5:25game could be. I mean, Argentina had like a shot
- 5:29on goal for however 90 minutes plus I forget
- 5:34how much extra time they played but More than
- 5:3790 minutes. So yeah, it was awful. That game
- 5:40is like what everyone says, like why soccer sucks.
- 5:45It was that like low scoring. Nothing really
- 5:50exciting happened really at all. They're flopping
- 5:54everywhere. It was it was brutal. And yeah, I
- 5:59was really hoping to go to penalty kicks to like,
- 6:02yeah, be rewarded through for sitting through
- 6:04all that. Alas. It didn't happen. And yeah, World
- 6:09Cup's over. It went out with a whimper. The group
- 6:14stage was awesome. And I feel like just every
- 6:16round progressing, like it got less and less
- 6:20entertaining. And then it culminated in just
- 6:22an incredibly boring final. But hats off to Spain.
- 6:25That was, I mean, like I said, dominating from
- 6:28Bell to Bell. So good for them. Yeah. Mean there
- 6:34were still some some exciting games in the knockout
- 6:37stage, but but yes, the the best soccer was for
- 6:40the the group stage And that's I mean, I guess
- 6:44that's probably really where you're gonna see
- 6:46the upsets happen is is the group stage, which
- 6:49is And there's just you know more games. So it's
- 6:52like more likely you're going to See a game that
- 6:55rocks. Yeah for sure. I mean that kind of goes
- 6:57with like every tournament it's like I mean really
- 7:00like it the NCAA tournament like it just any
- 7:03sort of playoff system. It's like, if you're
- 7:05going to get a banger, it's usually going to
- 7:07be in those first couple of rounds. And then
- 7:09just as it goes on, it's like, okay, these are
- 7:11just the really good teams. And that's awesome
- 7:14for like a sport that I care about. But like
- 7:18when it's two really good teams in soccer, usually
- 7:21to the casual fan, it's kind of boring. Obviously
- 7:25you had your exceptions, your Mexico, England,
- 7:27pretty much every game Argentina played. But
- 7:30other than that, every game Spain played was
- 7:32a snoozer. And same, honestly, kind of with France,
- 7:35because they're just that much better than whoever
- 7:37they were playing. But yeah. Yeah, the Spain
- 7:42goalie, I believe, only let in one goal the entire
- 7:45tournament, which is insane. That's fucking incredible.
- 7:49And like, yeah, like I said, hats off to Spain.
- 7:51It wasn't it's not their job to make it entertaining.
- 7:53They just got to win. And that's how they win
- 7:54games is by just playing insane defense. So yeah,
- 8:00hats off to them. Sean, I see you have returned.
- 8:04Do you have any additional insight into the World
- 8:07Cup? Did you did you watch that happen? No, I
- 8:11didn't get to catch the the final. But I was
- 8:16morally on Spain to win. Yeah, I think I mean,
- 8:25good. I was thinking about betting on Spain.
- 8:29But it was it's just like, it's kind of like
- 8:33that gamblers mindset where it's like, you don't
- 8:37want to bet on the good team, you want to bet
- 8:39on the team that has the star. And also like
- 8:43going into it. It's like this is probably Messi's
- 8:45last World Cup He's gonna be like 42 for the
- 8:47next one. So he's probably this is probably it
- 8:50So like I was torn I mean I was I guess I was
- 8:56kind of morally rooting for Argentina just because
- 8:59the greatness factor, but I'm not I mean I ain't
- 9:03torn up for Spain winning, you know I think Messi
- 9:09can go keep his MLS championship and he'll be
- 9:13okay. Yeah, he'll be alright. He'll be alright.
- 9:17And his percentage of Apple TV money that he
- 9:20gets. Yeah, and like all the other accolades
- 9:25he has for everything better than the MLS Cup.
- 9:31So he's probably fine, but obviously as an athlete
- 9:35you want to compete. perform at the high enough
- 9:38level where You can reach the mountaintop. I
- 9:41don't know. Anyway, I mean realistically, he's
- 9:44probably Still reeling from the loss. Oh, yes,
- 9:49I mean, but me as a a human being that Doesn't
- 9:56see any need for him to be in the MLS whatsoever.
- 9:58I'm like, okay good You can sit there and sulk
- 10:03Yeah, that's fine I would say, I will say it
- 10:07is, it is good for soccer in America though.
- 10:10Um, yeah, it's great, but everybody already knew
- 10:15who he was like, yeah, but now they care more.
- 10:20If you live in Miami, yeah. You're a fan of any
- 10:24other team. You kind of hate it. He's got to
- 10:27have another game coming up like MLS. They started
- 10:30back up. They started back last week. Yeah. Yeah.
- 10:33It was like two days after the world cup. Nashville
- 10:35was playing. It was like, Oh shit. It was like,
- 10:36I don't know if anybody who was playing the world
- 10:39cup was on either of these teams, but that's
- 10:42awful. Walker Zimmerman was on Canada. Yeah.
- 10:53I don't even give you start on Canada right now,
- 10:56but yeah, I moved car. Might have been with Germany.
- 11:03I don't know. I don't think you ever played.
- 11:05I don't know if he was like on the team or whatever.
- 11:07I think, yeah, I think he might be like, I think
- 11:10he might be like a German national or something.
- 11:13Oh, Miami plays tomorrow. Oh, well, I mean, I
- 11:20was just more mentally on Spain than Argentina.
- 11:25Am I a hater? Yes, absolutely. Be the first to
- 11:29admit it. If that's your provocative Shit is
- 11:39that it for the World Cup I Think it's it. I
- 11:44mean there was only one game There's a third
- 11:48place game that kind of rocked apparently Then
- 11:51oh, yeah didn't watch a second of it cuz I was
- 11:54totally gonna suck One of the best games of the
- 11:57whole damn tournament Yeah, I caught like the
- 12:03last like 10 ish minutes of that game and There
- 12:07there were I saw I caught like one or two scores
- 12:10but like Everyone involved was kind of like all
- 12:14right, whatever Like whatever they scored From
- 12:20what I from what I caught What do you mean everybody
- 12:24involved? like the players, like the, uh, like
- 12:33the guy who, uh, uh, Bellingham when he scored
- 12:37last for England, it was, he was like, yeah.
- 12:42All right. Yeah. I mean, like, I guess I get
- 12:48that for like a third place standpoint, but cause
- 12:52you're not going to get the super exciting, like
- 12:55cellies that you get in like knockout rounds.
- 13:00Because This is a set match This is for third
- 13:06place or not We will win fourth place Third place
- 13:15But yeah, I I mean I only caught the last few
- 13:19minutes so it might have been more electric from
- 13:23a theatrical standpoint from the players side
- 13:27earlier on but I guess we'll never know. I mean,
- 13:31they're 10 goals. I feel I wish I had watched
- 13:34that instead of the final, honestly. Yeah. Yeah.
- 13:40What are you gonna do? Who's to say? Anyway.
- 13:46Chris, do you have your final betting stats of
- 13:50the World Cup? Do you know wins and losses? I'm
- 13:55just curious if you kept like a notes app on
- 13:57your phone or something. I didn't, I would did
- 13:59pretty well up until I forget. I'm going to say
- 14:04it was like the semi -final rounds. And it was
- 14:09like, there was one day where I just got kicked
- 14:11in the teeth. I think I lost like, I think I
- 14:13placed four or five bets. I went either like
- 14:16oh and four, one and four. It was brutal. And
- 14:18after that, it was like, I kind of just limped
- 14:20to the finish line group stage. That was a lot
- 14:23of fun. I did pretty well in that, but. I'd say
- 14:26overall, I don't know how many units I was up,
- 14:28but I would say hopefully I was up. I can go
- 14:31back and tabulate and let y 'all know. But yeah,
- 14:36I like to think. I saw some other guys in our
- 14:39group chat saying they were up like 10, 15 units
- 14:42from the world cup. It's pretty good. I don't
- 14:46think I did that one. Yeah. Over the month and
- 14:50a half, almost two months of this whole thing.
- 14:54So pretty impressive. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah, I
- 14:59think I bet one time. I'd actually about twice.
- 15:04The one of the times was to bet on you, the US
- 15:08to win against Belgium. Obviously, that didn't
- 15:10work out. And then the other time was in the
- 15:12group stage. I put together some super gay parlay,
- 15:16which is defined by that that guy in our group
- 15:20chat, where he was gay. of the like the all the
- 15:34legs are like heavy favorites you just take every
- 15:37yeah every like minus like a 400 or 500 plus
- 15:41favorite yeah yeah I did not win that so I didn't
- 15:47put a lot on it but like like I opened one of
- 15:50my apps and it was like get a boost on a same
- 15:52game parlay because it's like that's that's the
- 15:54only boost that they give out nowadays and um
- 15:58that I see um because I don't bet nearly as as
- 16:03often as you and you Chris and the other folks
- 16:07in the in the group chat because uh I have a
- 16:12life um why for you're not making money Well,
- 16:18I do that already so I do that enough already
- 16:22My ivory tower I Have so much money Know that
- 16:30know that I I do that enough already meaning
- 16:32I don't make enough money From the hotel from
- 16:41the motel six We don't have to get into it, that's
- 16:47more of a conversation about my future and my
- 16:50career, but that's besides the point. But anyway,
- 16:54I also just don't care enough about baseball,
- 16:58but that's just me. I don't have time to do all
- 17:03that research for betting every single day on
- 17:06games that I don't care about. I save that for
- 17:10the NFL. Fuck, where's I going with that? Oh,
- 17:15yeah, I lost that super gay parlay and so yeah
- 17:19That was it for me. That was it for old Willie
- 17:23P and for betting on the World Cup, but But yeah,
- 17:32I Don't know what else I mean Do we have anything
- 17:37else that has really happened because not really
- 17:39a lot has happened I mean, I have one thing I
- 17:41can talk about but if there's actually something
- 17:43that actually happened. Is it like sports related
- 17:47or just like some sort of whimsical observation
- 17:50you made? It's sports related. What you got?
- 17:53I watched quarterbacks, the new season. Oh, yeah.
- 17:58I need to watch that. Yeah, it follows Dane Daniels,
- 18:02Ken Ward, Joe Flacco, and Baker Mayfield. And
- 18:08man, I didn't realize how much Baker Mayfield
- 18:11cursed. I was like, Whoa. This guy curses a lot.
- 18:15This guy's amped. This guy loves talking trash.
- 18:17I'm like, this is wild. And now I'm like, I watched
- 18:21the whole season and I'm like, I kind of found
- 18:24myself rooting for Baker. And I'm like, man,
- 18:28this guy, his career has had so many ups and
- 18:30downs. And like they took him, it kind of took
- 18:34him through it. And I was like, wow, what? Now
- 18:37he's in Tampa. And I mean, like he didn't make
- 18:40the playoffs last year, but. Like I remember
- 18:44like that when they go through each of the the
- 18:46weeks, I'm like, yeah, this is when I was betting
- 18:49Tampa Bay overs and cashing and then like It
- 18:55was like follow Joe Flacco from like when he
- 18:57started on the Browns and then was and then like
- 19:00he was like super depressed because they benched
- 19:02him for for Gabriel and And then they got traded
- 19:07to the Bengals. I was just like hell. Yeah, Joe.
- 19:10Let's go. He's like, I'm 42 uh my family lives
- 19:14in new jersey where i'm from uh a little town
- 19:19outside of philadelphia um but my family stays
- 19:22there and then like i followed him in like the
- 19:24right you guys remember when um when he was like
- 19:28i used to think that the the guy sitting alone
- 19:30at the restaurants were like you know i used
- 19:32to feel sorry for him but but now i now that
- 19:35i've done it man those guys are in heaven and
- 19:37i'm like you go joe flaco you go He's like all
- 19:44of us. He's just like me. It's just like me for
- 19:50real. I'm just like Joe Flacco. I am a Super
- 19:57Bowl champion. Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. And
- 20:03he also like showed him it showed clips from
- 20:07when they when he won the Super Bowl. And he
- 20:10won a car Forget it. Yeah, he won a car. That
- 20:15thing is destroyed It's not sitting in his garage
- 20:20like but it looks like shit I mean it just hasn't
- 20:24been driven in like ten years and it so it's
- 20:27just sitting there but he's like it's like a
- 20:29you know a cool trophy to have you know, we it
- 20:32doesn't really make sense because I have like
- 20:33five kids so Doesn't doesn't really make sense
- 20:38to drive it. I drove it a couple times, but then
- 20:40I you know Just kept it in the garage and it's
- 20:42just like covered in dust. He is not taking care
- 20:44of that car at all No, no, it was like leaves
- 20:49on it. Like I don't even know how the leaves
- 20:51got in the garage to begin with like It's just
- 20:55so dirty Yeah, it's super dirty But that was
- 21:00cool and like following cam ward throughout the
- 21:04season that was really cool, too um you guys
- 21:07should watch it it's uh this it's one of the
- 21:10things that i i was like oh cam ward's on this
- 21:12season i have to watch it so that's been that
- 21:15slowly filled the void for the past couple of
- 21:17days but now but i finished it so now it's over
- 21:20um and then also like yeah go ahead because i
- 21:25did see a clip um like pretty much the only thing
- 21:27i've seen from it was cam ward when he went to
- 21:30do some like I don't know if it's charity, but
- 21:32like the dodgeball thing with like boys and girls
- 21:34club or whatever. And he was like, man, I really
- 21:36want to peg the shit out of these kids. But I
- 21:38was like, nah, can't do that. Gotta let him win.
- 21:42This guy's gonna be a fucking Hall of Famer.
- 21:46They're like, M is so different. Like, like looking
- 21:53at him and I mean, This is the only season of
- 21:58quarterbacks that I've watched and so like I
- 22:00don't have too much to compare it to but like
- 22:04Seeing how he carries himself and how he prepares
- 22:07like they're like they took him like, you know
- 22:09We fucking lost like a billion games this year.
- 22:12And so like he's like, yeah, it's really tough
- 22:14to like lose all these games like like we're
- 22:17ass like it's not it's not fun, but like Do you
- 22:21got to take your licks and you gotta gotta learn
- 22:23from your mistakes? got to learn from your losses
- 22:26and kind of move on from there. And he also he
- 22:29also curses a lot. And so that was like, Okay,
- 22:32well, it means he's real. He's a he's a real
- 22:35guy. So that was interesting. Don't want my star
- 22:41quarterback to be a potty mouth. He has a potty
- 22:46mouth. See, what else? I mean, I followed Jayden
- 22:52Daniels, but like the weird thing about this
- 22:55season was like, like at some point in the season,
- 23:00everyone had an injury and it was like, I don't
- 23:04think they can keep doing this show, honestly,
- 23:07because like, I think like there's so, there
- 23:12were so many injuries, like Jayden Daniels, like
- 23:14essentially spent like the whole season injured.
- 23:17Like he only played like four or five games.
- 23:20Then they showed him like re aggravate his shoulder
- 23:23When he like threw an interception or something
- 23:26and it was running back and a guy on the Vikings
- 23:29Just like threw him down like threw him out of
- 23:32the club and he like landed on his left shoulder
- 23:34And he was just like that's it. That's it for
- 23:37me and Then like they were out of the playoffs
- 23:40with like two games to go and they were like
- 23:42he can go but like it really wouldn't Wouldn't
- 23:45be really worth the risk and also we could probably
- 23:48get a good draft pick and he was like I want
- 23:51to play but okay I'm like all right all right
- 23:56Jaden all right um and then like Baker had some
- 24:00fucking thing uh with his shoulder as well Joe
- 24:04Flacco he like he threw a ball uh I think was
- 24:09he was on the bangles and some defensive lineman
- 24:12had their their hand up and his hand hit his
- 24:16hand and his like knuckle went his like second
- 24:21sort of like finger bone on like his his ring
- 24:25finger like went up. And like on top of his his
- 24:30following knuckle. And he was and he was just
- 24:33like, don't like that. He's like, Hey, hey, can
- 24:39someone put this back? And it's like, dude, if
- 24:42that was me. I'd be crying and then he just like
- 24:55kept playing and I was just like damn this guy
- 24:59is 42 and doesn't care so hey yeah that was uh
- 25:06it was fun to watch but also like I don't know
- 25:09how long how much longer they can uh they can
- 25:12do this just because like I just feel like I
- 25:16feel like years like the past like five years
- 25:19like there's just been so many quarterback injuries
- 25:21and like I don't know what to point it to I don't
- 25:26know if there's a cause a root cause or anything
- 25:29but it's I don't know it's I'm just like it because
- 25:35like you hate to I mean you hate to have like
- 25:39an Aaron Rodgers situation where like he blows
- 25:41out his knee Four plays into a game and then
- 25:44he's done but it's like you're following this
- 25:46guy for the whole fucking season it's it's kind
- 25:49of got to be a Okay, never mind, you know And
- 25:55so like it's I don't know that's kind of the
- 25:58overarching Sort of concern I have with the show
- 26:01itself, but also and with sports in general But
- 26:06yeah, I watched that it felt filled the void
- 26:08for a couple of days Pretty entertaining But
- 26:14yeah Following up on that I keep seeing these
- 26:19memes on Like I'm ready for for this season as
- 26:25a Titans fan and then it's just the the the video
- 26:29of Alex Jones going I love the pain I love it.
- 26:35I'm completely ready for it. But I'm also putting
- 26:38on my clown makeup in the mirror at the same
- 26:40time. I totally get it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm
- 26:46very ready for it. But I week three on like,
- 26:49just fuck this season. That's, that's pretty
- 26:54early. Hopefully not. Hopefully. Yeah. Yeah.
- 26:56It's really speaking hyperbole, but yeah, at
- 26:59some point I will be like, yeah, why, why did
- 27:02I ever want this? I guess I'll watch this every
- 27:06Sunday at noon and a couple of Sundays at three
- 27:11this year. It could not happen that way. At least
- 27:18you don't have an international game. Yeah. Hey.
- 27:23Don't hate that. I kind of like, I think we talked
- 27:27about this when the schedule came out. I like
- 27:30the all essentially all noon games. I know where
- 27:34I'm going to be every Sunday at noon. Yeah. Watching
- 27:37my little football team for a few hours. And
- 27:40then I get to watch Sunday night football. Yeah.
- 27:43I think you've convinced me in that mindset as
- 27:46well, just cause like. I don't know why like
- 27:53I don't have season tickets anymore like I don't
- 27:55really I honestly don't really want to go to
- 27:58a primetime game because God that's just like
- 28:02the noon games are all day if you go it's an
- 28:07all -day trick it's an all -day adventure the
- 28:10primetime games are an all -day and an all -night
- 28:14thing so I was just like God Damn dude. Like
- 28:19I don't have it in me anymore. Yeah. I'm not
- 28:22a young man. But yeah. Yeah. I, I, I never have
- 28:33to look at the schedule except for the few times
- 28:36later in the year when we play at three. I'm
- 28:38not even going to remember. I'm going to turn
- 28:40it on and be like, Oh yeah, we don't play at
- 28:41noon this week. I guess I'll watch them. Panthers
- 28:45or whoever the hell. Probably the Falcons. Yeah.
- 28:53Yeah. Oh, yay. Tua. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, do
- 29:03you think the dolphin should have kept Tua? Like,
- 29:08would you rather go with would you rather keep
- 29:10Tua or like just roll with Malik Willis? as your
- 29:14starting quarterback? Probably Malik Willis,
- 29:18in my opinion, just because like, I don't know,
- 29:23like it, some guys just need a fresh start, not
- 29:26that Malik needs a fresh start, but it's like
- 29:31he proved himself in the games that he played
- 29:35with the Packers. And so it, but also you can
- 29:40think of it like, oh, well, their coaching staff
- 29:43is competent, and they have a better team. And
- 29:47so like, you can throw that in there as well.
- 29:49But also at the same time, it's like, dude, two
- 29:52is a liability just like for for concussion sake.
- 29:57Like it's yeah, I'm not a I'm not a rocket Scientologist.
- 30:02I'm not a brain guy. But like, he's a he's not
- 30:06very many concussions away from not having a
- 30:13life that's a higher quality of living later
- 30:21on in life. You're not wrong. Say that. I definitely
- 30:29get like kicking into the curb and still having
- 30:33to pay him all that money. I just Malik Willis.
- 30:39Yeah, that's the thing. He's not like, I don't
- 30:43know. He's not good. Like he's not, he had moments
- 30:47where he was like, Hey, this guy is all right
- 30:49with the Packers, but he was never putting up
- 30:51like great numbers. Like he was putting up serviceable
- 30:54backup quarterback numbers. So now he has to
- 30:56be a starting starting quarterback. That team's
- 30:59good. And like the Packers are also very good
- 31:01football team. The Miami Dolphins are ass. Like
- 31:05that roster is booty. So yeah, now that team's
- 31:09going to suck. Um, McDaniel's going to be gone.
- 31:13So, uh, I thought he already was. Was he? I don't,
- 31:16I can't make McDaniel is now, right? No, he's
- 31:19with the Chargers. Oh yeah. That's right. That's
- 31:21right. That's right. Yeah. As I was saying, I
- 31:23was like, wait a minute. I think he is gone,
- 31:24but okay. Who's the coach? I don't know. I obviously,
- 31:31I don't know. Computer look this up, which is
- 31:36me looking it up. Yeah. It's also like Jeff Hathley.
- 31:43Who the hell is that? Is that the Rams? No. Who
- 31:50was that? Hold on. I gotta Google Jeff Hathley.
- 31:59Computer? Show me this guy's balls, please. I
- 32:02don't. Okay. He was the DC for the Packers. Oh.
- 32:11He also was the DC for the Ohio State Puckeyes
- 32:15and the head coach of Boston College. All right.
- 32:22Yeah, they're going to suck. Yeah. Yeah. That's
- 32:30not going to be fun. No, they're going to suck,
- 32:33but like. I feel like the only time elite Willis
- 32:37showed signs that he was good was against the
- 32:42Titans when he beat us. And that's really nothing
- 32:45to hang your hat on. I mean, I was at that game
- 32:50in Arrowhead on Sunday Night Football when we
- 32:53almost won against the Titans. You should have
- 32:56won. It was bullshit PR or whatever on that two
- 33:00-point conversion or something. some sort of
- 33:05bullshit penalty that If we weren't playing the
- 33:08Chiefs probably would not have been called I
- 33:11remember that we had them in fits and Travis
- 33:15Kelsey like through his helmet which every other
- 33:19Every other time that that has happened in the
- 33:22NFL The guy gets a penalty He was on the field.
- 33:26He wasn't like he wasn't like on the sideline.
- 33:28He was like on the field Was that the game where?
- 33:34Blanking on his name, the chief's defensive coordinator
- 33:37called the timeout. Yes. Yes. Yeah. And yeah,
- 33:43that's illegal. Like I remember watching it.
- 33:46I was like, I don't, I don't know if that's like
- 33:49in the moment. I was like, I don't know if that's
- 33:51illegal, but I've been watching football for
- 33:53a very long time. I've never seen an assistant
- 33:55coach call a timeout. And then two seconds later.
- 33:59whoever was doing the broadcast was like, yeah,
- 34:01that's, that should have been a penalty. And
- 34:04they should not have been like, they one should
- 34:06not have gotten the time out to it should have
- 34:08been a penalty. I was like, Oh, cool. Fuck the
- 34:10Titans. That's, that's awesome. Only time I've
- 34:13ever seen that happen was the Titans. Yep. That
- 34:17game was so gritty though. That was just like,
- 34:20that ball was just flapping everywhere. It was,
- 34:24it was a miracle that they scored. Both teams
- 34:28scored at all to be honest. It was very cold.
- 34:34Yeah Very cool But yeah I remember going into
- 34:43last year being like the Miami Dolphins are going
- 34:46to be really bad they have a brand new defense
- 34:49like they have not kept anyone and I think I
- 34:54saw some some post by the NFL today that was
- 34:57like Old faces in new places and like Like two
- 35:03or three of them were like Dolphins players and
- 35:06I was just like oh shit Like Jalen wattle isn't
- 35:09there anymore. Like he's with the Broncos. I
- 35:11didn't know that I learned that one today I can't
- 35:16remember the others but like essentially I'm
- 35:19like dude That they don't have anyone they just
- 35:23don't have anyone as a non dolphins like fan.
- 35:28Um, I don't follow the team super close. The
- 35:29only name I really like, like big name that I
- 35:32recognize is a chain who's coming back. Everyone
- 35:35else. I'm like, I was like, I think I remember
- 35:38you from like being like a role player. Like
- 35:41I've seen your name on like a couple of box scores
- 35:43or something, but I, yeah, I forgot waddle was
- 35:45gone too. I, when did they blow this whole team
- 35:48up? Was it like as soon as the season ended?
- 35:50Cause I didn't remember anything they did other
- 35:52than to a going to Atlanta. I didn't remember
- 35:55a damn thing they did. I mean, I think their
- 35:58season ended and then they immediately fired
- 36:00McDaniel. So, yeah, I forgot. Yeah. I forgot
- 36:06what it was gone to up until like two weeks ago.
- 36:09McDaniel was not unemployed for a long time.
- 36:13Like it was very quick that he went to the charters.
- 36:17He, he seems like a phenomenal offensive part
- 36:20and he is, he's proven he is, but I just don't
- 36:23know how good of a head coach she. I mean, maybe
- 36:25this is like he tries once he goes to he rehabs
- 36:30is I don't know. I don't say image. Cause he's
- 36:32still very respected, but like, you know what
- 36:34I mean? He gets another job in a couple of years.
- 36:36I don't know if it'll work out. He just seems
- 36:38like a too goofy of a guy to be like a head coach
- 36:41in the NFL. Yeah. Yeah. Could be wrong. I really
- 36:46like them, but I think, uh, I think that depends
- 36:52on the team. Um, I feel like sometimes especially
- 36:56with head coaches like you kind of get a bad
- 36:59deal like I don't want to say that Brian Callahan
- 37:04had a bad deal because he was also an income
- 37:08poop but also like our team was not good like
- 37:11that's how we ended up getting cam ward yes but
- 37:16he it wasn't like oh this team is just bad it
- 37:20was everything that he did It was also very dumb
- 37:24for straight plays from the shotgun inside the
- 37:27five against the lions, not knowing the rules
- 37:29and week one against the Broncos. Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:33We didn't, the roster didn't do him any favors.
- 37:35Don't get me wrong, but he, he may have lasted
- 37:38a full season with a somewhat competent team
- 37:40as opposed to getting fired 12 weeks and whatever
- 37:43it was. Yeah. I feel like sometimes like a head
- 37:49coach. And like the caliber of their team kind
- 37:52of goes hand in hand you got to kind of strike
- 37:54while the irons hot but also like make your difference
- 37:57like I only bring this up because I am familiar
- 38:01but like with our head coach coach Sala when
- 38:07he was with the Jets like Dude like that that
- 38:10year when they had Aaron Rodgers like they had
- 38:13a good team their team was good like like even
- 38:18though like It like the the season basically
- 38:22fucking ended like after the first game His defense
- 38:28was still like top five and everything. It was
- 38:31crazy and so like it kind of goes it kind of
- 38:34goes both ways like you need to like make your
- 38:38mark, but also like It things have to go right
- 38:43that May not always be in your control. And so
- 38:46it's Yeah, it's so that's a tough one. I don't
- 38:53know. Am I making sense? Or am I just rambling?
- 38:56Yeah, but I feel like Salah is a better all around
- 39:01coach than Callahan. Oh, could ever hope to be
- 39:07I was just I was really doing the comparison
- 39:12to him and McDaniel. Oh, okay. Because like,
- 39:16yeah, I mean, there were There were a couple
- 39:19good years, uh, for the dolphins there while
- 39:23he was there, they made the playoffs, uh, against
- 39:25the bills. And during that snow game, they lost,
- 39:29but like they made the playoffs, which is, I
- 39:31don't think he ever won a playoff game. No, they
- 39:34made the playoffs twice and he lost them, but
- 39:35it was the to the bills. And I think they had
- 39:38a back shocker backup quarterback in that one.
- 39:41And then they lost to the chiefs in that game
- 39:43where it was like negative 30 degrees. Oh yeah.
- 39:47We're seeing videos of people's beer freezing.
- 39:53I don't want to live in that kind of hell. Dude,
- 39:59that's all. Especially when you pay $15 for it.
- 40:06Damn. That's too cold. Damn. So yeah, but like,
- 40:14I feel like... Feel like they had some decent
- 40:17years Because I mean prior to that. I can't remember
- 40:21though the last time they made the playoffs and
- 40:24so it's You know It's it's kind of like he I
- 40:28would classify him as a as a good offensive coach.
- 40:31I don't really know is defensive capabilities
- 40:35past that but Like it it feels like they were
- 40:39pretty good offensively there for for a couple
- 40:41of years while to a What didn't have contusions
- 40:47to to his brain? so I don't know I think it goes
- 40:52kind of goes both ways there and then like, you
- 40:54know, they just didn't resign players and didn't
- 40:57get better players to to replace them and so
- 41:00it's It's like it was kind of it feels like it
- 41:03was destined to be something like this because
- 41:07going into last season like that was it was not
- 41:10They were not set up for success I would say
- 41:14At least from my personal perspective, I don't
- 41:17know anyways I mean the Dolphins were definitely
- 41:22in that like kind of win now mentality just without
- 41:25you know having The actual players to do it.
- 41:29So they just signed all their like really good
- 41:32players to high -end contracts and They ended
- 41:36up cutting like most of them. So they had all
- 41:38this dead money that they just couldn't spend
- 41:41So they just kind of got trapped And that made
- 41:44them bad. And they're going to be bad this year.
- 41:49Yeah, that's football, baby. Yeah. But all right,
- 41:56I don't really know what else is going on. I
- 41:58did listen to a go ahead, Sean. I have a little
- 42:02bit of Titans news. Let's do it. I don't know
- 42:05if you guys saw this. Probably not. But next
- 42:08week, Carnell Tate is going to be giving out
- 42:11free jerseys. Small through extra large. I saw
- 42:16he was doing like I saw he was doing how is he
- 42:20going about this? I believe he is going to pick
- 42:24a store and he will tweet out the store or announce
- 42:29it somehow and when you go in like every Jersey
- 42:36that has tape on it will just be purchased by
- 42:40him and you could just I'm not sure if you could
- 42:44just walk out. I'm sure they gotta like scan
- 42:47it or whatever for inventory purposes, but like
- 42:50essentially you just walk in, get a jersey, walk
- 42:54out. And we just got new jerseys, so. Yeah, when's
- 42:59he doing this? He said next week sometime. I
- 43:03just want the boy to be aware. I will be monitoring
- 43:06that. Yeah, interesting. I set up Twitter notifications
- 43:12for him. just a case. Oh, oh, yeah. They're like,
- 43:21I'm kind of excited about Colonel Tate. Like,
- 43:25I know we were kind of poopy pants when we drafted
- 43:27him. Because like, you know, we could have gotten
- 43:30like a defensive guy or like, you know, someone
- 43:32just just because like the wide receiver, it
- 43:36was kind of a reach. But Don't know it still
- 43:42feels like a it still feels like a panic button
- 43:44move that they pulled but I mean If you're gonna
- 43:50pull the panic button on anybody just get the
- 43:52best wide receiver in the draft Like yeah, I
- 43:55mean everything I know it's I know it's like
- 43:58practice and training camp or whatever But like
- 44:00everything I've seen from him the guys making
- 44:03incredible plays. Oh, I Mean, it's a hell. It's
- 44:07a good start only goes up from here. Unless it
- 44:12doesn't. I've seen it go down many times. Yes,
- 44:20unfortunately, we have. But hey, we didn't draft
- 44:24an injured guy. So there's that. Yeah, step in
- 44:30the right direction. Step uno. Don't draft a
- 44:36guy with a broken back. You ever hear someone
- 44:45say I used to have a bad back? No. You don't.
- 44:52You never, you never hear that. Cause that shit
- 44:55doesn't happen. Sorry. Sorry, Chris. I didn't,
- 44:58I didn't mean to get you started. No, no, it's
- 45:01fine. I just hate thinking about that. But yeah,
- 45:05anyway, anyway. It's in the past. Colonel Tate.
- 45:10Colonel Tate, not injured. All right. There's
- 45:16going to be an injury report that comes out tomorrow.
- 45:18Yeah, right. No. We all win. I am itching for
- 45:30football. Like, it's getting bad. Like, it's
- 45:34like, God damn it. What am I going to do with
- 45:37this Sunday? Like like I've had enough Sundays
- 45:41where I don't have anything going on. I'm ready
- 45:44to have something going on. Yeah, that's a. That'll
- 45:51be a. That'll be our battle for the next few
- 45:54weeks. For the next more than a few weeks. Almost
- 45:58only like a month away from week zero, though
- 46:01college football. Who playing week zero? Uh,
- 46:06I mean, some entertaining, uh, North Carolina
- 46:10and TCU in Ireland. That could be good. Yeah.
- 46:14Could be good. NC State, Virginia, which is like
- 46:17whatever, but it's like a conference game in
- 46:20week zero. Definitely take that. Can we take
- 46:23a step back real quick? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What
- 46:25does North Carolina and or TCU have to do with
- 46:31the country of Ireland? Uh, Dick all Notre Dame.
- 46:37Absolutely. Makes sense. I mean, yeah, I think
- 46:40was it two years ago, Florida state and Georgia
- 46:43tech played in. I, I think this is just what
- 46:46happens now. We get two teams playing in Ireland
- 46:49to start the season. And you know what? I it's
- 46:52week zero. It's half the time feels like a fever
- 46:56dream anyway. Um, Hey, fuck you. We have an interesting
- 47:03mashup. Jacksonville State going to Fargo to
- 47:06take on North Dakota State. New FBS team, North
- 47:09Dakota State. We have a classic Mac showdown
- 47:15between Sacramento State and Eastern Michigan.
- 47:19God, college football. And then Memphis UNLV
- 47:22at nine o 'clock in the night. So it'll be entertaining.
- 47:26Like Memphis UNLV. Yeah, that would be fun. It
- 47:30should be a fun, oh, and a Hawaii Stanford in
- 47:33there as well. Should be, should be fun, fun
- 47:36little Saturday. Before we, I was gonna say before
- 47:41we get off the NFL, I do want to say one thing.
- 47:45Happy, happy day. Aaron Rodgers has reunited
- 47:48with his family, it appears. So that's good for
- 47:54people who are fans of. If people who care, families,
- 48:00families that are whole. Interesting. So he like
- 48:07just called his mom. I don't know. I just saw
- 48:09he posted something on Instagram of like pictures
- 48:11like him and his mom and dad and brothers. I
- 48:17thought your brothers were like, he's dead to
- 48:19me. He's not my brother anymore. I think it was
- 48:22more of like a mutual thing that they both felt.
- 48:25So I don't know. But yeah, I just saw that on
- 48:28the timeline a couple of days ago. So I was like,
- 48:30Hey, good for him, I guess. Or bad if it goes
- 48:36poorly. I don't know. He's done after this year,
- 48:39right? I think he said this is his last year.
- 48:42I feel like he had that Instagram post that was
- 48:45like one last ride and it was with his like Steelers
- 48:49teammates. on the golf course. So it's like,
- 48:54please be done. I'm pretty sure he's retired.
- 48:58I thought he was done after he snapped his Achilles,
- 49:00but that was three years ago. So what do I know?
- 49:04I'm pretty sure this is it because I think we.
- 49:08We didn't discuss it per se, but I did bring
- 49:11it up and you guys were like. Cool. And I was
- 49:16like, alright, well, you know, it's something
- 49:18that happened and. We could talk about it, but
- 49:21obviously we don't have to so When was this this
- 49:26was like a month or two ago? This was like right
- 49:30because like he was on a one -year deal and then
- 49:33he resigned for another year and then he was
- 49:36like Hey, this is my last year and I remember
- 49:41bringing it up because like I think it was the
- 49:44NFL free agency day and We were going over all
- 49:47the Not all of them, but some of the free agents
- 49:50and like I was like, this is Aaron Rodgers last
- 49:54year. You guys were like, cool. All right. Well,
- 49:57apologies if we were that old. Yeah, you were.
- 50:01I was just like, I mean, you know, just something
- 50:03that happened. You know, it's Aaron Rodgers.
- 50:04He's a Hall of Famer, you know. I just kind of
- 50:07really just don't care about you. You made that
- 50:11you made that clear when we brought that up.
- 50:15You were like, I don't care about it. I don't
- 50:20know He's one of the ones like he's what like
- 50:24he's like the last one left from my childhood
- 50:27And I'm just like please just get out Just leave
- 50:32Hey you scram, and I don't really know why I
- 50:37don't really like anything because Seems, I mean,
- 50:43I've never met him, so I don't want to say, but
- 50:44he gives off the vibe that he's kind of a prick.
- 50:48Yeah. But I've actually, I've heard he's kind
- 50:50of cool. I think if he's one of those guys that
- 50:53like, if you were one of like the fortunate ones
- 50:56to be like cool with him, he's probably a good
- 50:58guy, but I don't know. It seems like he just
- 51:02seems like such an ass. Yeah. He wouldn't sign
- 51:05a Jersey for your kid. Well, I mean maybe I if
- 51:12you caught him on a good day, maybe I don't know
- 51:14maybe if he had his Ivermectin shot then maybe
- 51:19Maybe yeah He's also been in just in the news
- 51:26for generally negative things Yeah, and causing
- 51:30a bit of a ruckus. So he's a drug addict Well,
- 51:36I mean I mean, not all drug addicts do ayahuasca.
- 51:45No, that's not true. Wait, hold on. What am I
- 51:48trying to say? Yes, that is true. That is true.
- 51:51But not all people who are addicted to drugs
- 51:55also do ayahuasca. That's kind of what you said.
- 52:00I think you said the same thing. I think I get
- 52:05what you're going for. OK, OK. Not all drug addicts.
- 52:10do ayahuasca that all drug addicts eventually
- 52:14do ayahuasca sure someone gets shown a scrap
- 52:20piece of paper first try gonna set up a scientific
- 52:33method hypothesis science bitches better Check
- 52:39your hypotenuses. That's okay. I'd start many
- 52:44a sentence without knowing where it's going on
- 52:47this show. I knew where it was going many times.
- 52:49He knew where it was going. It was just how he
- 52:51was going to get there. It was the middle part
- 52:55that was confusing. That middle part really got
- 52:59me. Really got me. Oh, well. Hey, who's to say?
- 53:07That's football. That's football. Did we talk
- 53:18about college football? I mean, briefly, I don't
- 53:21really have anything else unless like someone
- 53:23else has something they want to talk about college
- 53:25football, but I don't really have anything. I
- 53:27was just saying, hey, week zero, we're month
- 53:29ish away. We were talking about the matchups
- 53:33and how they're not great. But also like, that's
- 53:35not what week zero sports. It's a Great week
- 53:39zero slate. I mean, there's been sometimes where
- 53:41you get like three games and it's like, like
- 53:44last year, like one of the, like, I think we
- 53:47had like three or four last year and one of them
- 53:48was like Idaho state and UNLV. I was like, Hey,
- 53:52it's football. I'm going to watch it. Yeah, this
- 53:57is a week. Zero is just kind of a, to wet your
- 53:59whistle a little bit, get you prepped for the,
- 54:02for the real deal. Just to Jess, just the tip.
- 54:12I Did I did watch a podcast this week that interviewed
- 54:19Coach Sala and we might have discussed this a
- 54:24little bit, but when when he first Was hired
- 54:29by us and Chris ran into him at a restaurant
- 54:33and he said tighten up coach and he said Is that
- 54:37what he said? He essentially he's like he like
- 54:41kind of like mouth like thanks or something like
- 54:43that and shot me like a hey I don't know finger
- 54:47gun per se, but he pointed at me. I was like,
- 54:49all right, that's pretty cool Yeah, no if he
- 54:52would have done like that. I'm like, yeah fucking
- 54:55nerd That's funny, but the guy has eight kids,
- 55:02um, that's a lot of kids And, uh, well, I think
- 55:09maybe, maybe it was on purpose. It's even worse.
- 55:14Well, I think it's his like religious beliefs.
- 55:18Is he Catholic? No, he's a Muslim. Something
- 55:24like that. Because he's no, I just didn't want
- 55:28to, I just don't know for sure. So I didn't want
- 55:30to just say, yeah, he's Muslim. But I was like,
- 55:32I don't I think he is. I don't think there's
- 55:34anything wrong with that. No, no, of course not.
- 55:37My father's Muslim. I just didn't want to like
- 55:43say it if that's not true, but I think whatever
- 55:46his religious beliefs are, I believe it's like,
- 55:48yeah, you don't do birth control. I'm going to
- 55:53look that up. Yeah, me too. I looked it up. He
- 55:57is Muslim. Yeah. Okay. There we go. First Muslim
- 56:00head coach in NFL history. Well Second because
- 56:07the first one was him Just make a conversation
- 56:19But yeah got eight kids and they were talking
- 56:24they were like hey, um That's a lot of kids it
- 56:29did it when did it get to the point where Like
- 56:33it didn't feel like so much and he's like honestly
- 56:36like Once we had the fourth one like our oldest
- 56:40started helping out and he was still a child
- 56:43himself but it was still like He started out
- 56:46and then we had more and then they all just started
- 56:49taking care of each other and so like really
- 56:51it's it's actually helped me more than More than
- 56:55not and I was just like, whoa, it's a very interesting
- 56:58way to look at it That is yeah, once you get
- 57:01to a certain number, you gotta be like, well,
- 57:02we gotta have someone help raise these kids for
- 57:06more. Might as well be the other kids. And I'm
- 57:13like, this guy's probably got a got a pretty
- 57:16sweet deal going on. I mean, he's been in the
- 57:18NFL for quite some time. Not always as a head
- 57:22coach, but like as a coordinator or like anyone
- 57:25on staff. And it's like, dude, I mean, like depending
- 57:29on the level of importance you got, you're hanging
- 57:34out at the facilities there quite often. And
- 57:41so he's not there, so the kids have got to step
- 57:44up. Probably kind of a sweet deal for him. That's
- 57:49almost half the year where he's like, hey, good
- 57:54luck. I'll be here to sleep. And then leave.
- 58:03They're like, okay, we will continue being in
- 58:07this large house as a trade off. Like, that feels
- 58:12fair. I don't know. I thought that was funny.
- 58:17I think a lot of kids is funny. I don't know
- 58:20why. I don't have a reason. But like, that's
- 58:24a lot of kids. And so often I hear parents and
- 58:29they're like, Hey, what is your what is your
- 58:32perfect weekend? They're like, Okay, first thing,
- 58:36I'm gonna, we're gonna get someone to take care
- 58:39of the kids and take them to my mom's house.
- 58:41Then she's gonna take care of them for the weekend.
- 58:42And then we're going to do this and then we're
- 58:44gonna but it's always like the first thing is
- 58:46get someone else to take care of the kids. And
- 58:48so I like I'm like, Hmm, sounds like you don't
- 58:52want them around. I don't know. It's just my
- 58:59perspective. I don't know. Just to say, I'm kind
- 59:04of rambling now because I really don't have too
- 59:06much to talk about, but, uh, I don't know. Chris,
- 59:09do you have a, you have your MLB fun fact? I
- 59:12do, but I, there's something before we, are we
- 59:16good on time? Do we have anything? Yeah, we're
- 59:17good on time. Okay. I just saw, um, some guy
- 59:22set the new record for the fastest mile. I thought
- 59:26that was kind of cool. Three minutes in the enhanced
- 59:29games. I don't know. I didn't really look that
- 59:32far into it. I just saw this guy named Josh Kerr.
- 59:35He ran a three minute, 43 second mile. And that
- 59:39feels like he's a superhero. I could beat it.
- 59:42Say that again. He ran a what? Second three,
- 59:45three minute, 43 second mile. I thought you said
- 59:4843 second mile. I was like, no, that would be,
- 59:51was he running 80 miles an hour? It was. Yeah.
- 59:56He. I don't think it was part of the enhanced
- 59:59games. No competing at the London diamond league
- 1:00:03league, which I don't. Cool. Clocked a historic
- 1:00:07time of three minutes and 42 .66 seconds. I could
- 1:00:11beat it. Go for it. Do it right now. We'll wait.
- 1:00:19Yeah, we got three minutes. That's all I'll need.
- 1:00:25I don't know. I just did it. I just did it back.
- 1:00:29All right, that's pretty bottom of the barrel.
- 1:00:33I should have even I shouldn't have even said
- 1:00:35anything. But I can get in the MLB fun facts.
- 1:00:40I got two this week. We'll go to the statistical
- 1:00:45one first. So in 1987, Yankees forget what position
- 1:00:51he was Yankees player Don Mattingly set the record
- 1:00:54for most grand slams in a single season. With
- 1:00:57six, he did not have a career grand slam before
- 1:01:00that season or after that season. Well, so he
- 1:01:04has the record for most in a season and never
- 1:01:07hit one again. The rest of his career. I feel
- 1:01:11like I'd be okay. I'd be okay with that. Oh yeah.
- 1:01:15That was wild. And he played for a long time
- 1:01:17too. So it's just why he never hit one before
- 1:01:20and never won one after. You know, he's just
- 1:01:24been chasing that dragon every time he's up to
- 1:01:29bat bases. He just gets the yips every time he
- 1:01:33gets bases loaded. Oh, come on, Don. All right.
- 1:01:42Second one. From 1998 to 2014, the Boston Red
- 1:01:48Sox never won a game on August 15th. That's kind
- 1:01:53of fun. But what what's so significant about
- 1:01:55that date you may ask? Oh, I'll tell you that
- 1:01:57is the birthday of Red Sox super fan Ben Affleck
- 1:02:02So for are you serious? Yeah Her 16 years. Yeah,
- 1:02:07he'd never saw them when it came on his birthday
- 1:02:11Chris why is baseball so cosmic? I feel like
- 1:02:15yes. I feel like there's so so much shit with
- 1:02:17baseball. That's just so cosmic It's just happening.
- 1:02:23It's wild. There's a lot. I want to say a lot
- 1:02:26there, but I know there are quite a few like
- 1:02:29stats like that with obviously, I mean, it gets
- 1:02:32it's on someone's birthday, but I remember there
- 1:02:35was one thing was like the Marlins. I don't know
- 1:02:37if it's still true, but I remember this from
- 1:02:39a couple of years ago. The Marlins had never
- 1:02:41lost on like whatever day it was in the season
- 1:02:45for like 15 years straight. And it was like,
- 1:02:49Oh, okay. Well, I'm betting on this and they,
- 1:02:53they want, I think they lost the next year after
- 1:02:56that, but it's just like, I've seen a couple
- 1:02:58of times where this team has not lost on this
- 1:03:00date in like 10 years. So they play the, they
- 1:03:07play the pirates on August 15th this year. Oh,
- 1:03:11aren't the Red Sox like the hottest team in the
- 1:03:15MLB right now? They, uh, weren't they also. Oh
- 1:03:18shit. They were awful to start the season. I
- 1:03:20think they fired their manager. Uh, I forget
- 1:03:24how many games then, uh, but yeah, they've won
- 1:03:2714 straight. Um, they didn't play tonight cause
- 1:03:29it's raining, but yeah, they've won 14 in a row.
- 1:03:34So yeah. Hardest team in baseball. That's baseball.
- 1:03:44Mark your calendars to bet against the Red Sox
- 1:03:48on August 15th. So, or better. I mean, they've,
- 1:03:52they've won, I don't know how many times, but
- 1:03:54since 2014, they've won at least one time on
- 1:03:57that day. Cause I thought you said they hadn't
- 1:03:59won. No, from 1998 to 2014, that timeframe they,
- 1:04:04okay. Yeah. I can go back and do some research
- 1:04:07and how many times they've actually been doing
- 1:04:11before 2014. or after 2014. What made him turn
- 1:04:15his life around? What movie did you start in?
- 1:04:18That was Gone Girl 2014, right? When was Good
- 1:04:25Will Hunting? It's 97. Late 90s, yeah. You're
- 1:04:30telling me the Boston Red Sox didn't win a game
- 1:04:33on Ben Affleck's birthday from Good Will Hunting
- 1:04:35to Gone Girl? You shut your damn mouth That's
- 1:04:45how you while your time while he was recording
- 1:04:47the town So while he was recording the town no
- 1:04:51wins on my birthday That's how I'm gonna start
- 1:04:54measuring time has been a Record from from Batman
- 1:05:05to to to another Ben Affleck movie that I'm trying
- 1:05:12to think of. Air. I don't know how far apart
- 1:05:16there's really good. Yeah, it is. I really like
- 1:05:19I was just trying to think of recent Ben Affleck
- 1:05:21movies. Oh, that name was 2016. Jay and Silent
- 1:05:28Bob. Which one? Yeah. I think the first one part.
- 1:05:35maybe maybe he's in both i think it's i think
- 1:05:37it's jay and silent bob strikes back i know he's
- 1:05:39in that one because i've seen that one um and
- 1:05:43he's like i'm ben afleck you guys have to do
- 1:05:46this and they're like okay ben afleck um what's
- 1:05:50the time frame what i mean i guess i should look
- 1:05:52i guess i should look up the dates but i don't
- 1:05:55know i feel like we have also run this bit it's
- 1:05:58course so in silent bob reboot no it's wrong
- 1:06:05Today's silent pop strike back was 2001 ah, okay
- 1:06:162001 so they didn't they did not win on August
- 1:06:2115th that year Okay Batman was like 20 2016 2016
- 1:06:30so most of those years at least No wins on his
- 1:06:34birthday He won an Oscar without getting a win
- 1:06:40on his birthday You think he wouldn't he won
- 1:06:44he was like doesn't Doesn't feel whole well,
- 1:06:48you know, what's funny is that like I did hear
- 1:06:51a thing that in gone girl Like it takes place
- 1:06:54in New York, right? And he wouldn't wear a Yankees
- 1:06:59hat Yeah, I guess he held up production for like
- 1:07:05three days because he refused to wear Yankees
- 1:07:07They made it they put him in a Mets hat. Yeah,
- 1:07:11I feel like it took you three days to come up
- 1:07:14with that solution Yeah, do a Mets hat like that
- 1:07:18there's another that should have taken 45 minutes
- 1:07:22Or not even a base like I put them in I like
- 1:07:25a giant's hat like why does it have to be based
- 1:07:27whatever? But yeah, whenever I see that, like,
- 1:07:31he's like, Hey, he held up production for three
- 1:07:32days. Like, I feel like other people could have
- 1:07:35resolved this. Well, what I'm hearing is that
- 1:07:39he took a stand on something and then they started
- 1:07:41winning on his birthday. So that's true. I mean,
- 1:07:45it was probably because of him. If you don't
- 1:07:48stand for this, what do you stand for? Thank
- 1:07:51you Ben Affleck. I can't believe Jane Silent
- 1:07:59Bob was 2001. I thought that was a little bit
- 1:08:04later. But we led. I didn't see it until much
- 1:08:09later. Yeah. And I was like, oh, shit, it's Ben
- 1:08:12Affleck. Yo, blunt man and chronic. Yo, yo, yo,
- 1:08:24what up? It's Jane Silent Bob. The movie rocks.
- 1:08:29The movie does rock. It takes a wild, it takes
- 1:08:32wild and crazy turns. Oh yeah. All right. I don't
- 1:08:40know. I don't really have anything else. There's
- 1:08:43not really a ton going on. I keep getting ESPN
- 1:08:49notifications about tennis and I'm like, I don't
- 1:08:50give a fuck about tennis. Yeah, I don't. I remember
- 1:08:57I don't know if they're still, I don't think
- 1:08:59they're still doing it, but, um, for like a couple
- 1:09:03of days, I think it was last week. Anytime I
- 1:09:06logged into Fandel, I got like a pop -up thing.
- 1:09:09Like, Hey, get this boost for betting on tennis.
- 1:09:12I'm like, I stopped trying to get me to bet on
- 1:09:15tennis. I'm not doing it. I've done it before.
- 1:09:19It's a trap. I'm not doing it again. Stop trying
- 1:09:23to confuse me. I think the only time I knew about
- 1:09:31someone betting on tennis was that one time we
- 1:09:34went to Vegas, Sean. We ate at that fancy restaurant,
- 1:09:40and the guy was like, hey, what are we in Vegas
- 1:09:42for? And we're like, week one of the NFL. And
- 1:09:46then he was like, you guys doing some gambling?
- 1:09:49And I'm like, yeah, of course, we're in Vegas.
- 1:09:53And he's like, I got a couple of parlays I like.
- 1:09:56And then like, you like add all his bets written
- 1:09:59down. Dude, he had his bets written down, like
- 1:10:02on the notepad you take your orders down on.
- 1:10:05Yeah. And I was like, this guy rocks. He was
- 1:10:08like, I lost a bunch of money betting on tennis.
- 1:10:10I'm like, bang on tennis. He was like, yeah,
- 1:10:13I love it. And I'm like, this guy's a massive
- 1:10:16degenerate. Yeah. But then like, he took our
- 1:10:20drink order came back and then he was like, all
- 1:10:22right. Oh, he's a waiter? Yeah, he's a waiter.
- 1:10:26Just some dude you ran into. No, no, no. It was
- 1:10:29our waiter at the one nice meal we had during
- 1:10:33our week long stay there. And then he came back
- 1:10:37and he was just like, all right, you're going
- 1:10:38to call me crazy. But I really like the Raiders
- 1:10:41plus six tomorrow. I was like, dude, the Raiders
- 1:10:44suck. We were like, all right, Titans are going
- 1:10:47to cover. They're not going to win. And he was
- 1:10:49like, I don't think that's going to happen. And
- 1:10:51we were right. They did cover. They did not win.
- 1:10:57We were like, they're at least going to cover.
- 1:10:59Not going to win. We were right. God awful Saints
- 1:11:03game. Yeah, that was not fun. But that was like
- 1:11:07the best steak I've ever had. So Smith and Wilenskis,
- 1:11:12shout out. If you're in Vegas, go. That place
- 1:11:19fucking ruled. Anyway, Yeah, I don't care about
- 1:11:25tennis. That's all the notifications I'm getting
- 1:11:28LeBron still hasn't chosen his team. Even though
- 1:11:31the World Cup is over. I saw a thing where he
- 1:11:34was like, if you've paid attention to like, my,
- 1:11:38like what I've been saying, like I've already
- 1:11:40kind of like leaked it. But then you go back
- 1:11:42and look at his stuff. And it's like he's leaking
- 1:11:44stuff like about everyone. Like he said something
- 1:11:47about the Warriors. He did the whole like, I
- 1:11:49want to go to a team that trusts the process.
- 1:11:51So he's teasing Philly. And then he posted something
- 1:11:54on his Instagram with a bunch of wolf emojis.
- 1:11:56So it's like, okay, don't be like, oh, I've left
- 1:12:00this trail of breadcrumbs. And it's been like,
- 1:12:02okay, we could go to four fucking different teams.
- 1:12:06But he knows where he's going. He just wants
- 1:12:08the spotlight on him. I heard he could go back
- 1:12:11to the heat. They just don't have any cap space.
- 1:12:15It's like I know he's saying he won't really
- 1:12:17about the money no, and I know he said like wherever
- 1:12:20he goes it won't be about money, but like I Mean
- 1:12:23once again, he's gonna sign a vet minimum Because
- 1:12:27that's about all they can afford after the honest
- 1:12:29trade Yeah, well in NBA the salary cap isn't
- 1:12:34really real so I mean that is true the only sport
- 1:12:37that it is real is is the NHL and it's It's very
- 1:12:42interesting But you know, hey, it's only real
- 1:12:47in the regular season It's not real in the postseason
- 1:12:52Well, actually they had a new CBA. So it's like
- 1:12:54the the postseason has their own Has their own
- 1:12:58dedicated salary cap, which is the same one and
- 1:13:01so like you can't you can't fuck with it like
- 1:13:03you could in the past where You had a player
- 1:13:05that was long -term injured reserve and then
- 1:13:08they come back so at that that was that was negotiated
- 1:13:11on in the in the new CBA that was a this past
- 1:13:14year or the year before. I don't know. There
- 1:13:16wasn't really a hold up. So it wasn't really
- 1:13:18big news. So baseball is going to be big. Hold
- 1:13:22up next year. We probably won't even get it.
- 1:13:25Um, because I got a new, they have to do a new
