- 0:15Okay, okay, okay. We're here. We're back. It's three for the money. New episodes every Thursday, every single week. Every single month, every single year.
- 0:26Game straight. And yeah, I mean, we're here. We're back. We're back.
- 0:33It's three for the money.
- 0:35That was going somewhere else.
- 0:38Let's see. The NHL playoffs are still going and so are the NBA playoffs.
- 0:46But yeah, before we kind of dive into that, how are we feeling this week?
- 0:51I'm feeling pretty good. Yeah.
- 0:53Been doing all right in gambling. I know you had a few good days here. Sunday, four and oh, swept the board.
- 0:59Monday was all right. Yesterday went four and three with a plus money winner. We'll take it. Been doing pretty well in the NHL playoffs.
- 1:08So I decided to dip my toe into that because baseball has been not been good.
- 1:15Wasn't good today. Went two and three. Does it get better?
- 1:19I like to think eventually it better. So I'm like June to or July to like September. That's it, man.
- 1:29You're not going to stop that and like WNBA. Chris is WNBA gambling.
- 1:39You bet on the WNBA. I've done it before.
- 1:43I did it last year when there was like that one day during the MLB All-Star break where they had one game of American sports.
- 1:53Like just for the whole day. It was a WNBA game at 1030 in the morning and I bet on it and I watched it and it was terrible.
- 2:04I remember you doing that.
- 2:05I was watching it work. It was me and my buddy Zach. We were watching it and I was like, Hey, this isn't half bad. I don't get why everyone shits on this product.
- 2:14As soon as I said that it was like four straight possessions. Airballs. I was like, Yeah, okay, this is a joke.
- 2:20I get it now. I remember what I bet, but it lost and I was pissed.
- 2:26Lots of fundamentals.
- 2:29Lots of poorly executed fundamentals.
- 2:32Yeah, no, no, all right. All right, Sean, are you still responsibly retired?
- 2:37How's that going?
- 2:39It's going great.
- 2:41It can be a poorly.
- 2:43He's not losing bets.
- 2:45I'm not winning either though.
- 2:47Maybe you're not losing and not losing is winning in gambling.
- 2:50Even though you're not gambling.
- 2:52Have you gotten the itch?
- 2:54I did have the thought like the other day where I was like, What if like some alternate reality version of me just made like a 10 leg parlay to win like $50,000 and it won?
- 3:09And I'm like, I can't do it.
- 3:11That could be you.
- 3:12It could be me.
- 3:14Somebody at work, one of his friends hit whatever leger. It was like 10 to 1,500.
- 3:23You know, on NBA player props.
- 3:25It really does suck to see other people living your dreams.
- 3:31See, I keep thinking that because I was talking about what someone forget who that I think was last year in the NBA.
- 3:39I was like, I'm just going to start making first basket score parlays like two legs.
- 3:44I was like input like two bucks on it and that like two bucks alone would cash out like it was over $100 at least if you took like the favorite.
- 3:54And I was like, I'll just keep doing this.
- 3:56If I hit one, I will come out way ahead.
- 3:59I think I got like a main night a month, like a two or three weeks into the season.
- 4:04I was like, this sucks.
- 4:06It's like just seeing losers every week.
- 4:09Like, like, yeah, you're only losing like two or three bucks and nine.
- 4:12Did did interview see on Twitter somebody cashed a method of first basket by Embiid to be a three pointer.
- 4:25I didn't see that.
- 4:26Did you see the shot?
- 4:28Oh, I saw the shot.
- 4:30I know I know what you're talking about.
- 4:31It hit the rim, bounced up and then went in.
- 4:36And I was just like, how did you just want I just want like you just need one.
- 4:41And like you're golden.
- 4:43I mean, that was probably a billion.
- 4:46Yeah, like that's crazy.
- 4:50I remember guy on Twitter three years ago, a few years ago, it was on Thanksgiving.
- 5:00The Lions were playing the Texans and that game was bonkers.
- 5:04Yes.
- 5:05And it was he, I don't know.
- 5:08I didn't know this was an option.
- 5:11It was on some book.
- 5:12I forget who but he had Mohammed Sunoo seventh game touchdown score.
- 5:19Plus like I sent that to you.
- 5:21I remember that billion.
- 5:23Yeah.
- 5:24And it hit seventh game.
- 5:26Yeah.
- 5:27You know who that was?
- 5:29I remember who that was.
- 5:30I who I don't know.
- 5:31Yeah.
- 5:32Oh yeah, it was.
- 5:33That's how I heard of him.
- 5:34Yeah.
- 5:35Yeah.
- 5:36I don't know.
- 5:38But yeah, I totally forgot that was him.
- 5:40But I just remember seeing that I was like one time, man.
- 5:43I sent that just one time.
- 5:45I sent that I sent his tweet to the group chat and I was just like, this guy's from the future.
- 5:52He's he's a time trap.
- 5:54I remember he won like two or three other like big bets on that game.
- 5:57Yeah.
- 5:58But it's like Mohammed Sunoo who I didn't even know was still in the league until he caught that pass.
- 6:02Like seventh or whatever it was game touchdown score.
- 6:05Just for a game alone to have seven touchdowns.
- 6:08Yeah.
- 6:09What I think it was is that like it was labeled as like the seventh touchdown being will there be another touchdown?
- 6:22Yeah.
- 6:23Who will it's like next.
- 6:25Oh, so like it already it was like it was a live bet.
- 6:29So it was like the seventh touchdown will be caught or whatever whatever.
- 6:33That's still in whatever method.
- 6:35So that's what the bet was.
- 6:37That's OK.
- 6:38That's still insane though that it was Mohammed Sunoo.
- 6:40Yeah.
- 6:41Again, I didn't even know was playing professional football.
- 6:44Yeah.
- 6:45I don't get people who have that sort of sense.
- 6:49I just want one man.
- 6:50Or even if they have a sense that I don't even I'm just going to do this.
- 6:53I'm just going to throw it on it.
- 6:55And I just make rational parlays that lose by a leg by like half a point and it crushes my soul.
- 7:02And these guys are out here hitting fucking plus 60,000 parlays.
- 7:06Or we make parlays where none of the legs hit.
- 7:09We're just like, hey, it's like I was almost right.
- 7:12It's like I was basic.
- 7:14I was so I was so wrong that I was right when that happens.
- 7:18It's kind of like that's it's almost more it's definitely more impressive to be completely.
- 7:23I was I was so wrong that I was right.
- 7:26Yeah, I was about to say it's almost more impressive.
- 7:29How are you doing?
- 7:31So I'm OK.
- 7:33That's good.
- 7:34I'm I'm not as bad as last time.
- 7:38Hey, that's all you can hope for.
- 7:40Yeah, you know, I've really only been bedding on the NHL.
- 7:46And really over is an unders like I find that I find that like trying to pick a winner in the NHL playoffs is almost impossible.
- 7:59It's no matter which way you take it underdog favorite 60 minute line.
- 8:04It's it's it's I can't I don't know.
- 8:08I just I can't feel for it unless it's like a favorite in the series loses game one at home.
- 8:17And then you got to take them game to you have it's something like that.
- 8:21But we're way past that now.
- 8:22We're in the thick of it.
- 8:24Yeah, I had last night at older 60 minute line.
- 8:27They lost five to one.
- 8:29Yeah.
- 8:31I mean, this but that being said, you do have a money line bet tonight.
- 8:37Correct me.
- 8:38I do.
- 8:39Yes, I do.
- 8:40Because other others.
- 8:43Yeah, I have the Oilers tonight.
- 8:4560 minute line because if they lose this game, they're fucked.
- 8:49It's over.
- 8:51And so if it goes to overtime, I will be hammering the Oilers to make up the money that I lost.
- 9:00So that's smart.
- 9:01Yeah.
- 9:02Have you thought about how we're like possible like the conference finals could be Carolina, Florida, Seattle and or Dallas and Vegas.
- 9:16Yeah.
- 9:17Yeah.
- 9:18Yeah.
- 9:21I mean, hockey central.
- 9:24Well, two of those teams don't or three of those teams don't have cups.
- 9:32Right.
- 9:33Yeah.
- 9:34So in Carolina only has one.
- 9:36Yeah.
- 9:37And they won it in like 2006 four or four.
- 9:42No, wait, no, six is six.
- 9:442005 was the lockout in 2004 was Tampa Bay.
- 9:48That's correct.
- 9:49Yes.
- 9:50I thought Tampa Bay won the year after the lockout.
- 9:54No, that would be the Hurricanes.
- 9:56But I thought, okay.
- 9:57Because the lockout was 05.
- 9:59We had the internet.
- 10:00Yeah, I guess that's true.
- 10:01Because the lockout was 05 and that was the random Crosby draft.
- 10:06Yeah.
- 10:07That draft was random.
- 10:08That draft was completely, completely random.
- 10:10Oh, that's not random.
- 10:11No, they were talking about.
- 10:12Yeah.
- 10:13Yeah.
- 10:14Yeah.
- 10:15Yeah.
- 10:16And so I'm just kind of been over's and under's Seattle Dallas series has just like the
- 10:24overs are just complete money.
- 10:27Yeah.
- 10:28Yeah.
- 10:29It honestly makes no sense taking to me anyway, based off like the regular season knowledge
- 10:38is like Seattle like their goal tending was okay.
- 10:43And like they don't have a ton of scoring and like Dallas has great goal tending, but
- 10:51their team is like like third and fourth line or just like kind of okay.
- 10:58But it's been like completely opposite.
- 11:00Like everyone's been scoring.
- 11:02Like I think I think the first these first three games that we've seen so far.
- 11:07Like have all been decided by like four goals or something.
- 11:10We say the same thing with the Carolina, New Jersey series.
- 11:13Yeah, for sure.
- 11:14All those games have been blow.
- 11:16Like I think all four of those games of goalie has been pulled.
- 11:19Yeah.
- 11:20It's insane.
- 11:21It's all bonkers.
- 11:22And like every, I don't know about the Dallas Seattle series, but every pretty sure all four
- 11:28games in Seattle or Carolina, New Jersey, the tallest one, five and a half.
- 11:33Yeah.
- 11:34That's like, what the hell?
- 11:36The loose goal tending is supposed to be good.
- 11:39They scored like what?
- 11:41And they have three of their top six that are out.
- 11:43Yeah.
- 11:44But I mean, like I get that, but also it was like the game.
- 11:47It was the game Sunday.
- 11:48What was the score like eight to four or something like that?
- 11:51You come back.
- 11:52You come back two goals later.
- 11:54The total is still five and a half.
- 11:55Yeah.
- 11:56Like at least bump to six or something.
- 11:57Like I'll still hammer that over.
- 11:59I say that and it's probably like two to one the rest of the series.
- 12:04So yeah.
- 12:06And I've also been taken over in the Wheeler series, which hasn't cashed the last two
- 12:13times, but the last one was brutal.
- 12:16It, it's almost impossible for me to bet in under for, for that series just because it's
- 12:22Connor McDavid.
- 12:23It's the oilers and it's the Knights.
- 12:25I mean, I think the Knights are on their second or third goalie.
- 12:29I have the under tonight.
- 12:31That's it's going to go way over though.
- 12:33I have a feeling that's fair.
- 12:35So I got two plays tonight, possibly three.
- 12:39So yeah, that's really kind of what I've just been getting into.
- 12:45Yeah, it's about it.
- 12:48Anything else on the NHL playoffs?
- 12:52I touched on all of it.
- 12:54Yeah.
- 12:55The, I think game one of Toronto, Florida.
- 13:00I was like, all these games are going to go over.
- 13:04That's why I thought because they got Bob Ropsky in that and that guy kind of sucks.
- 13:09And supposed to like supposedly he lives are supposed to be good.
- 13:16And like the over cruised in that first, first series with the leaves and the lightning.
- 13:24That was those were just money all the time.
- 13:29But this like all of these games have gone under and Toronto is well,
- 13:35we're brought season playing out of his mind.
- 13:37Yeah.
- 13:38And Toronto lost their starting goalie and they're probably going to get swept.
- 13:45They're up 1-0 right now.
- 13:47Yeah.
- 13:48Going into the third really need for.
- 13:50Yeah, they could get swept or they they could just, you know,
- 13:55it could be that kind of thing where it's like this team is too good to be swept to get swept.
- 13:59But, but like in five, if they lose, if they went tonight, I think they'll win six or the one five,
- 14:07but then they'll lose when they go back to Florida.
- 14:10Yeah.
- 14:11It's a, the Florida team has just been crazy to watch.
- 14:15They've just really just controlled play pretty much the entire time.
- 14:20And they're scrappy.
- 14:22And Toronto is playing this like Eastern style hockey where it's not like go, go, go.
- 14:28They'll get the puck and like their side of the neutral zone and throw it back to their D to like kind of regroup and get their breakout.
- 14:37But Florida's forecheck is just so strong that they're able to capitalize on that.
- 14:42It is just typical Toronto.
- 14:44Yeah.
- 14:45Yeah.
- 14:46Just first time you make it out of the first round since 2004.
- 14:49And you're staring down the barrel.
- 14:51Literally.
- 14:52Shoot yourself in the foot.
- 14:56Does this even really count?
- 14:58Like if they, if they get swept, if they second round, does it even really count as like a series win?
- 15:04No, I mean, yeah.
- 15:07I mean, yeah, but like when people are like, if they don't, if they don't win another series for like five years and people like, oh, this will be the first series win in five years.
- 15:17You should be like, well, yeah.
- 15:20But then they also got swept by the eight seed in the next round.
- 15:23Yeah.
- 15:24It's tough to call, but it's really fun to watch Toronto and load.
- 15:32It's my favorite.
- 15:33It's my favorite part of the playoffs.
- 15:35Yeah.
- 15:36So I think that's all the series is going on right now.
- 15:43Do you want to talk about the draft before we get into the NBA?
- 15:47Touch on, I don't have many opinions on it.
- 15:50I just like, I mean, but art's going to make our lives living hell for the next 10 years, probably at least.
- 15:56Yeah.
- 15:57Chicago win in the draft.
- 15:59Almost seems kind of rigged.
- 16:01But I don't want to be that guy.
- 16:05Yeah.
- 16:06I'll be that guy.
- 16:07My, I just want to say my one thing before, because I don't know enough about it to say like rigged or anything.
- 16:12I would suck as a Preds fan to say this.
- 16:15I'd rather the Blackhawks have won, have got it than the Ducks.
- 16:19Really?
- 16:20Because the Ducks already have so much young talent.
- 16:22They could have, they could have like an actual dynasty.
- 16:25I mean, yeah, I guess you're right.
- 16:27The second overall pick, they still like great.
- 16:29I mean, they still very much code.
- 16:30Yeah.
- 16:31They're going to get a fan tillie.
- 16:32Yeah.
- 16:33But I mean, it's still Badaard.
- 16:34I mean, they're already crowning him as the next McDavid.
- 16:37So it was like, you add him to an art.
- 16:39You're really good.
- 16:40And they're still probably really good, but it would just suck to have like, okay, this
- 16:44team is definitely going to be really good as opposed to, okay, the Blackhawks are probably
- 16:50going to be really good.
- 16:51Yeah.
- 16:52There's still room for the Blackhawks to fuck it up.
- 16:55Yeah.
- 16:56You don't just get to add him to like your shit Ross.
- 16:58You're like, all right, come up.
- 17:00It's just like, they had these like allegations like 2021 where they refined like $2 million
- 17:10and like the league was like, hey, you can't be doing this shit.
- 17:16And then it was just like, okay, we're sorry.
- 17:20Here's $2 million.
- 17:22No, that is bullshit.
- 17:24And then they, they dumped Kane at the deadline.
- 17:29They are choosing not to resign.
- 17:32Taze, I think that's fine.
- 17:35He's old.
- 17:36He's going to retire.
- 17:37He's going to retire.
- 17:38He's probably going to retire.
- 17:39He's got long or hopefully for the Dallas stars, which all Chicago Blackhawks eventually
- 17:44future coyotes, he's a legend Jonathan takes to get in the new stadium, raise the banner.
- 17:53But then like, you get rid of like your, you know, your franchise players and then they're
- 18:00just like, here's a new one.
- 18:02There you go, buddy.
- 18:03Happy.
- 18:04There you go.
- 18:05I agree.
- 18:06And it is, especially like the whole like sexual assault stuff is like how the coyotes
- 18:10got stripped of a first round pick for having an illegal training camp or whatever the hell.
- 18:14Yeah, they're like doing testing.
- 18:16And then yeah, like the black, black Hawks covered crimes.
- 18:20Yeah.
- 18:21And they get what could be the greatest player of all time.
- 18:26And it's just like, there's absolutely no way the NHL was going to let.
- 18:34But our go to Columbus.
- 18:37There's there was no way there was absolutely no way they were going to rig it against that
- 18:41and I don't get it with.
- 18:42I don't blame it either.
- 18:43But like, it's just like, it is kind of does feel rigged.
- 18:49I'm not saying it is rigged, but it feels right.
- 18:52All these, all these lottery things.
- 18:54I'm convinced they are a smidge.
- 18:57Like if it's a once in a generational thing, like talent thing, they're, they're a little
- 19:02bit like they're not the NBA is not going to let.
- 19:03Women you ought to go to the fucking like Hornets.
- 19:06He's going to go to like someone who I don't know the odds right in front of me.
- 19:10The wizards.
- 19:11They only have like a 2% chance.
- 19:13I would love him to go to the Wizards.
- 19:15That would be hilarious.
- 19:16So I did like a smidge, a smidge of research on how the NBA or the NHL draft lottery is
- 19:27done because it's done by like balls, you know, and do you know, do you know how close
- 19:37the predators were to getting the fifth overall pick?
- 19:42Yes.
- 19:43They were one like digit away.
- 19:46They were one ball away.
- 19:48They only needed like, it was, it's, it's so weird.
- 19:52How does that work?
- 19:53Because I know the NBA with like, I know how all that works.
- 19:56How does the NHL work?
- 19:57So I know there's, because I only saw there was 10 teams or whatever in contention for
- 20:03the first round.
- 20:04It has to do with like the number of balls you have in the pot.
- 20:10So did the, were the prebs eligible for the first overall pick?
- 20:15Like a point, they had like a 1.2.
- 20:19So that's all like a graphic that was like the Bedard sweepstakes and the prebs weren't
- 20:24on it.
- 20:25Okay.
- 20:26So, I mean, they might not just put them on it because there wasn't a chance.
- 20:29They were, the prebs were very close to getting the fifth overall pick by like, they needed
- 20:34like, I think each team has like four different balls that they need to get the seeding or
- 20:44something.
- 20:45It's very confusing on how they do it.
- 20:47I tried to like understand it by just reading it, but I couldn't find any like videos on
- 20:52it because they don't like allow video tape of the drawings, which is kind of sus, little
- 21:00sus.
- 21:01What they should do is they should have like a lottery ball thing with like each team's
- 21:04logo.
- 21:05That's what it is.
- 21:06What they should do is like Blackhawks win or like first pick, they just take all their
- 21:11balls out.
- 21:12So everyone still has.
- 21:13Oh, I see.
- 21:14Yeah.
- 21:15I see what you're saying.
- 21:16So it like just, so it's actually like first goes, first gets picked first.
- 21:19Then you take the time out and take all their balls out and then just keep going.
- 21:24So that way, like your odds of whatever increase as yeah, I don't disagree with that.
- 21:28That would be more fun.
- 21:29Also just the way like the NHL announces the like who gets what pick they get that board
- 21:37and they're just like, they flip it over.
- 21:38And this is like, you're like, what is this?
- 21:43Where's the page?
- 21:44Yeah, there is no.
- 21:45It's not even like a washing a ball come out of the shoe or whatever.
- 21:49That would be way more entertaining.
- 21:51That's a lot of some guy just like just flipping over a white board.
- 21:55Like it's like eighth grade algebra.
- 21:57I don't know.
- 21:59That's always like, irked me about the NHL draft.
- 22:02And you know, also just of course, the draft happens to be here in Nashville this year
- 22:08and our rivals, the Chicago Blackhawks get the first overall pick.
- 22:13And it's just like, what if I don't take the card?
- 22:16They're going to.
- 22:17What if you fall to everyone thought the Texans were going to take Reggie Bush?
- 22:24Mario Williams.
- 22:27How'd that work out?
- 22:29I don't know.
- 22:32I think Mario Williams might have played longer than Reggie Bush.
- 22:36But still like, you never know.
- 22:38Yeah.
- 22:39I don't know.
- 22:40I like I said, I did a very.
- 22:44I didn't do the best job at researching it because it was kind of hard to like understand.
- 22:49Yeah.
- 22:50But yeah, it's it has to do with like certain numbers and how the balls are drawn out of
- 22:58the machine and all this junk that makes it feel like it's just like, like there are
- 23:05reporters in there, but they're not like allowed to communicate with the outside world.
- 23:13Like they take their phones.
- 23:14They don't have any video cameras in there like at all.
- 23:18And it's just nobody knows until like they know.
- 23:23And hearing the draft when they went to commercial and it was just like, oh yeah, by the way,
- 23:29Columbus got the third pick.
- 23:30It was just like, yeah, that was shady.
- 23:32Why?
- 23:33Why didn't you just wait?
- 23:37Like why didn't you just wait until like what was the point of that?
- 23:40I don't know.
- 23:41I don't understand why.
- 23:43Yeah, he's on someone's payroll.
- 23:48He sent it to commercial and as the B roll was rolling before the commercial, he was
- 23:54like, and we'll be back to see who gets to first because Columbus will go get the third.
- 24:02You need to announce it.
- 24:04Yeah.
- 24:05In real time.
- 24:06Like this is the draft.
- 24:08There's like 500 people at a bar in Columbus that were like watching it like the draft
- 24:13party to see where they were draft where they were draft because they had a really good
- 24:18shot of getting the first.
- 24:20And then it was just like, it's like Nicola Jokic getting drafted during that Taco Bell
- 24:26commercial.
- 24:27If you haven't seen that, it's hilarious.
- 24:30Even though that's different because that was still the later that was still the second
- 24:33round.
- 24:34I know.
- 24:35It's like they're showing a grilled cheese burrito and it's just like if you get drafted
- 24:43third overall and it was during a Taco Bell commercial.
- 24:47That would be exactly what it was.
- 24:49Yeah, it's exactly what it was like.
- 24:54I don't know, dude.
- 24:57It feels like I think it's a major consensus around the NHL community that most people
- 25:06do think the NHL draft is rigged.
- 25:09They highly believe it.
- 25:11Yeah.
- 25:12I agree.
- 25:13NHL isn't as big as the NFL, NBA or even the MLB.
- 25:23But I guess I don't blame them for wanting to rig their big market teams because Chicago's
- 25:32their big market.
- 25:35That might be like other than the Rangers, that might be like their biggest market that
- 25:40they have other than like Toronto.
- 25:42Yeah, Toronto.
- 25:43Montreal.
- 25:44Maybe Montreal.
- 25:45Montreal.
- 25:46Montreal.
- 25:47Montreal.
- 25:48Montreal.
- 25:49Montreal.
- 25:50Montreal.
- 25:51Montreal.
- 25:52They have like Buffalo.
- 25:54They've all kind of been like big market teams like Montreal had this last one.
- 26:02The bubble draft too, where like the first overall pick was a team that was eliminated
- 26:10from contention in the bubble.
- 26:13Yeah.
- 26:14It was just like this is the least probable thing that could have happened.
- 26:20It was the Rangers.
- 26:21The Rangers get the first overall pick.
- 26:25I always thought it was kind of shady how the Oilers got McDavid.
- 26:29It was like you have the next Wayne Gretzky playing for the Oilers.
- 26:36But they were also just consistently terrible.
- 26:39They were gone.
- 26:40So if it was rigged, they earned it.
- 26:42They definitely earned it.
- 26:43So I don't care.
- 26:44And also they're probably going to fuck it up.
- 26:47But also I always thought that was kind of shady, like the next Wayne Gretzky goes to
- 26:51the Oilers.
- 26:52OK.
- 26:53Sure.
- 26:54They were.
- 26:55I mean, they were.
- 26:56Again, they earned it if it was rigged.
- 26:59Like happy for them.
- 27:01And like many, many teams were tanking like on purpose that year.
- 27:07And they also like the NHL doesn't like they say they have like a no tank policy.
- 27:13Chicago was tanking.
- 27:15I mean, the NBA.
- 27:16Oh.
- 27:17The NBA said that, too.
- 27:18Yeah.
- 27:19I mean, the Sixers were tanking for like a decade.
- 27:21Yeah.
- 27:22And it's still about to like bite him in the ass.
- 27:24It had a name.
- 27:25The process.
- 27:26Yeah, they were openly tanking.
- 27:29They were opening like, hey, New Orleans, Noel first round.
- 27:32Trust the process.
- 27:33Like, hey, we're going to purposely be dog shit for like 10 years.
- 27:38And then maybe we'll.
- 27:39But then we're going to hire Doc Rivers, who's like the biggest playoff choke artist ever.
- 27:43And he's going to screw it all up.
- 27:45OK.
- 27:46Six way.
- 27:47Good segue.
- 27:48Good segue.
- 27:49It's just about to say that.
- 27:50Yeah.
- 27:51Just let's get out of the NHL.
- 27:52Let's go into the NBA.
- 27:53All right.
- 27:55So we were watching the heat game during the intermission of the first and second period
- 28:02of the Toronto Florida game.
- 28:05And he were kind of running away with it at the time.
- 28:08I think they were up by 12, something like that.
- 28:10They're upset.
- 28:11Oh, they're.
- 28:12Are they down?
- 28:13Nicks are big.
- 28:14They're down to 24 with six minutes left in the third.
- 28:17Oh, OK.
- 28:18Well, what I said about the heat is that I think they the heat will get smoked in the
- 28:30Eastern Conference finals because they are playing.
- 28:35They are playing the Nicks right now.
- 28:38The Nicks.
- 28:39Nicks have been notorious for just choking it up.
- 28:45I also just want to before I mean, yeah, they stink, but yes, you also had Julius Randall
- 28:50said after the last game.
- 28:52Yeah.
- 28:53Maybe they just wanted more.
- 28:54That's a loser talk.
- 28:55You should be shipped out for that alone.
- 28:57Loser.
- 28:58I mean, he sucks, but you should be shipped out for that alone.
- 29:03Loser.
- 29:04And he's sitting there like, I mean, he just looked like a loser.
- 29:07He had like black beanie on like a black like sweater.
- 29:09He was.
- 29:10Yeah, they just wanted more.
- 29:12And I was like, OK, you're like, you're a loser.
- 29:15Get out of your pity party and go play some fucking basketball.
- 29:18He's like the most like, I don't get how he's good.
- 29:23Like when I watch it, like he will go off sometimes.
- 29:25I'm like, why?
- 29:26Why is this happening?
- 29:27Why is he good?
- 29:28I feel like when I see him suck, which he's been doing for a good majority of these playoffs,
- 29:34I'm like, this is this should be right.
- 29:36I'm not diehard NBA, but I just remember him back.
- 29:40Where was he?
- 29:42I mean, he's been just like, he's not been good for the majority of his career.
- 29:46I think he had like a good year with the Knicks and he's like, hey, he's back.
- 29:50Jordan's friend.
- 29:51He's never here.
- 29:52And then he's just not been good.
- 29:53I mean, he was fine this year in the regular season, but since it's like the game's mattered,
- 29:59he hasn't been good overall.
- 30:03So I just don't get it.
- 30:04And then now him saying like, oh, maybe he just wanted more.
- 30:07Get the hell out.
- 30:08He's done.
- 30:09I mean, Stephen, this is first time I agree with Stephen.
- 30:11He needs to be traded.
- 30:12Yeah, especially tibetow.
- 30:13I tibetow won't tolerate that shit.
- 30:16Yeah, it's a stuff thing to hear a player say that.
- 30:22It's all supposed to be like your second best player.
- 30:24Yeah.
- 30:25Like if Anthony Davis was like, well, maybe the Warriors just wanted more.
- 30:32More of Clay Thompson, I guess.
- 30:34But you were, while you're watching the game, you also said that if it does end up, which
- 30:43it very well could be sixers in heat in the Eastern Conference finals that dock rivers,
- 30:51like you just said, is the biggest choke artist of our time.
- 30:56Are we looking at a potential Lakers heat finals?
- 31:01It could definitely happen.
- 31:02I mean, it wouldn't shock me.
- 31:03Is that an eight and eight in the finals?
- 31:06It's an eight and seven.
- 31:07I'm pretty sure Los Angeles was a seven.
- 31:09But it's still a bubble rematch.
- 31:11So we'll find and if I want this, would that pick up for no, it wouldn't.
- 31:17It would.
- 31:18Well, kind of ship.
- 31:20If the heat, if it's heat Lakers and the heat win, then the LeBron, then the bubble
- 31:25title 100% does not count.
- 31:30Because you had a chance to like redeem yourself.
- 31:33If the Lakers beat the heat in the championship, I will say bubble title counts.
- 31:40But if they don't, if the heat win, I'm like, no, 100% does not count.
- 31:44You race it from the record books.
- 31:45Because it's like you find you get a chance to redeem yourself and you don't.
- 31:50But we're a long way from that being the case.
- 31:52But yeah, it wouldn't shock me if the sixers don't win this series.
- 31:56I mean, they're up right now.
- 31:58I know.
- 31:59It's three to two.
- 32:01Like just takes Boston one win in Philly and then it's anything can happen in game seven.
- 32:06I'm trying to find the sixers just, I think they're kind of on it.
- 32:11Like I have a future on the Celtics to win it all.
- 32:14But and it's just, I'm just kind of like, I think I'm going to take the Celtics and
- 32:19game six.
- 32:20Just, I mean, they've, they look so bad last game.
- 32:25And I think their coach is a bonehead.
- 32:27I think firing Emae Adoku was the worst thing they could have done.
- 32:32Yeah.
- 32:33That was still, that was weak.
- 32:35That was, I want to say something.
- 32:39I think that if we, if we look at this past year with the Philadelphia teams, I believe
- 32:49it is more likely that the sixers will win against the heat to go to the final and then
- 32:58lose.
- 32:59Oh, if it's sixers heat, I'm taking heat to win the series before.
- 33:03Yeah.
- 33:04Before it starts.
- 33:05Yeah.
- 33:06Just, I mean a little bit because a dock rivers is just a, just a choke artist.
- 33:13This is what he does.
- 33:15But right now sixers or the Celtics are plus 150 to win the series.
- 33:23I can see, like they can definitely win this.
- 33:25Like you just got to do it.
- 33:26I mean, you got to just take one game and fill it, which I think they will win that
- 33:30game and then go back to Boston for a game seven.
- 33:33I think they can definitely win this series.
- 33:36And I need to look up dock rivers record and elimination games.
- 33:42Probably not good.
- 33:43Oh, it's terrible.
- 33:44I just, I just don't want to get it wrong.
- 33:48But it's like, oh.
- 33:51But it would, besides the Flyers, it would complete the cycle.
- 33:58Phillies lost.
- 33:59Next year Flyers.
- 34:00Phillies lost.
- 34:01Eagles lost.
- 34:02The Philadelphia MLS team.
- 34:03MLS team, I can't remember.
- 34:04Crew, I think they are.
- 34:05No, it's Columbus crew.
- 34:06Union.
- 34:07Union sounds like it's going to be a good one.
- 34:08I can't remember the crew, I think they are, no, it's Columbus crew, Union, Union sounds
- 34:14correct, but we just need the Sixers to make it to the finals for them to lose to complete
- 34:20the prophecy, the prophecy of Billy teams cannot win a championship.
- 34:27Okay.
- 34:28So in my research for, I think, Bill Burr, sorry.
- 34:32I didn't mean to interrupt you, but in my research for his elimination and record, I'm
- 34:40not, haven't found that yet, but Doc Rivers has the most, has lost the most game sevens
- 34:46in NBA history.
- 34:51So if it goes seven, I'm, if it, if it goes seven, I will unretire for that Celtics game.
- 34:57Oh, I said, if, if even if the Sixers win, I'm taking heat to win the, to win the comments
- 35:03finals.
- 35:04Oh, okay.
- 35:05Yeah.
- 35:06Okay.
- 35:07Because I just, I don't believe in the Sixers or I don't believe in them.
- 35:10I know, I would, as like, not really a fan of the NBA, I would really like a seven and
- 35:16eight matchup in the finals.
- 35:17Oh, I love it.
- 35:18Yeah.
- 35:19It's just like, it's, I know it's the Lakers, it's LeBron, he's been there a million times,
- 35:24but like it's still like kind of different, you know, like, it's the same, but different.
- 35:31It's the same, but it's different.
- 35:33I also wouldn't be shocked if the Warriors wouldn't come back.
- 35:36Yeah.
- 35:37I wouldn't either.
- 35:38Like, because they're the Warriors.
- 35:39I don't, oh God, I don't want them to win.
- 35:41I want the Warriors.
- 35:42See that?
- 35:43I want the Warriors to win this series and they get eliminated by the Nuggets.
- 35:45I would.
- 35:46I don't want, like, I acknowledge LeBron is a phenomenal basketball player, one of the
- 35:50best of all time.
- 35:51I do not like him.
- 35:54I want him to get another title.
- 35:56I actually say that I do want the Nuggets to make it to the finals.
- 36:00I want Yoke to get a ring.
- 36:02If I'm being perfectly honest, when I was in Colorado in 2021, they have sports gambling
- 36:10there and before I was a part of, part of action.
- 36:15And so I was just betting on the abs.
- 36:19I was betting on the Rockies.
- 36:20I was betting on the Nuggets and they all just kept winning.
- 36:27And I was just like, dude, this is awesome.
- 36:31So I bought a Nuggets hat as a little memento for my time in my winnings in Colorado.
- 36:39So I'm not a Nuggets fan, but I do own some of their merch.
- 36:45They're your NBA.
- 36:46They have to be your NBA team.
- 36:48Yeah.
- 36:49By default.
- 36:50But if it comes down to like Nugget Celtics, I will go Celtics.
- 36:56That's my point because I do have actual money on them now.
- 37:00I want the, I mean, yeah, that's fair.
- 37:03But that would be, that would be a great series.
- 37:08Nugget Celtics.
- 37:09Celtics.
- 37:10Yeah.
- 37:11That would actually be a great series that I would really love.
- 37:12I do want the Nuggets to bounce the suns.
- 37:15I want Boca to get a ring, but I.
- 37:18They should, they should not.
- 37:23He'll never get one.
- 37:24I mean, I don't, yeah, I'll never, he'll never get one.
- 37:27I was just like 38.
- 37:30They shouldn't bring him back.
- 37:31Like he, if he's like healthy to go now, don't bring him back.
- 37:34Yeah.
- 37:35Because they were 0 and 2 with him.
- 37:362 and 0 without him.
- 37:372 and 1.
- 37:38Yeah.
- 37:39This was, I don't know.
- 37:40They pulled his groin and game 2.
- 37:41From the fucking.
- 37:42No, game 4.
- 37:43Yeah.
- 37:44Yeah.
- 37:45Is that a thing?
- 37:48I don't know.
- 37:49It happens on the court all the time.
- 37:50Just messing around.
- 37:51Fuck.
- 37:52Ah.
- 37:53Leafs just scored.
- 37:54All right.
- 37:55That's probably game.
- 37:56All right.
- 37:57Well.
- 37:58Also, I'll take Pantheon.
- 37:59Well, no.
- 38:00There's half a period left, dude.
- 38:01Come on.
- 38:02There's still plenty of time.
- 38:03Look how happy those fans are.
- 38:04That's not right.
- 38:05Yeah.
- 38:06The Leafs are not real.
- 38:07It's not real.
- 38:08It's not real.
- 38:09There's still plenty of time for the Leafs to mess this up.
- 38:11If we've learned anything.
- 38:16Yeah.
- 38:17They get too comfortable.
- 38:18Yeah.
- 38:19In the past 10 years.
- 38:20They've lost.
- 38:21They've lost down.
- 38:22Or they were up 2-0 in game 2.
- 38:252.
- 38:26Yeah.
- 38:27And they lost.
- 38:28Yeah.
- 38:29How much time was left in that game?
- 38:31They went up to nothing.
- 38:33Or really quick.
- 38:34Like.
- 38:35In the first period.
- 38:36Oh, yeah.
- 38:37Well, there's 10 minutes left.
- 38:38All right.
- 38:3910 minutes left.
- 38:41All Florida has to do is turn it on.
- 38:43Yeah.
- 38:44It's just turn it on.
- 38:45Yeah.
- 38:46It can easily collapse.
- 38:48Colorado.
- 38:49The sunshine state.
- 38:52City by the Bay.
- 38:54I don't have anything else for the NBA.
- 38:59For the NBA?
- 39:00Yeah.
- 39:01I think that might be it.
- 39:02Yeah.
- 39:03I don't want to see LeBron get another one.
- 39:06I also don't want to see the Warriors get another one.
- 39:10I agree.
- 39:11Those two teams need to be out.
- 39:12I want the Warriors to win the series.
- 39:14And then lose to Denver or Phoenix, whoever.
- 39:19Because I could stand seeing the Warriors win another one.
- 39:23I don't want LeBron to get another one.
- 39:25You could stand another Warriors.
- 39:26I could live.
- 39:27I can't.
- 39:28I could live because I really like Steph.
- 39:32And I want Steph to pass LeBron in rings.
- 39:35One thing to start talking about is Steph better than LeBron.
- 39:38He's not.
- 39:39But I think that's fair.
- 39:43I just want that to be the new thing.
- 39:46Win the new.
- 39:48The new.
- 39:49Because I'm tired of seeing MJ LeBron.
- 39:51I want LeBron Steph just constantly.
- 39:55See, the one thing I hate about.
- 39:58Like watching sports center.
- 40:00Understand first day.
- 40:01First take fuckin.
- 40:04almost it's it's like clockwork like every week they had it on they have a
- 40:09debate is LeBron better than Michael Jordan it's like oh they're fucker we're
- 40:15gonna do this 52 weeks they had it on here like like they had it on I think
- 40:21it was Tuesday or yesterday I think it was on first take when it they I didn't
- 40:28see the actual segment because sounded unbearable but I saw like a thing like
- 40:34coming up next goat debate and it was like LeBron like driving to the hole or
- 40:38someone's like stop just stop if he wins another ring okay whatever you have
- 40:45nothing else to talk about cuz it's the summer but stop it's the conference
- 40:52simis like this all the hell up like even if yeah he might be shut up even in
- 40:57the offseason that's all they have to talk about I know but like even in the
- 41:01offseason it's just like everybody who cares about this already has an opinion
- 41:08nobody's changing their mind and like nobody's gonna switch sides like
- 41:14arguing politics on Facebook like you're not gonna win anyone over you're just
- 41:19gonna spew like your opinions into the void it's just I'm I know like I'm like
- 41:26do they not have anything else that's what I'm saying like in the summer when
- 41:30it's just like well it's just baseball then it's like yeah I'd rather hear
- 41:36Stephen they talk about LeBron MJ than watch him attempt to know something
- 41:40about baseball I like to think in the offseason like the writers of first take
- 41:44or just like hey what do we got and it's just like I mean we can just do LeBron
- 41:50versus MJ again it's like that's perfect what are you talking about you get a
- 41:54raise
- 41:56Marlins Marlins and Nationals went to extras last night you want to tell you that
- 42:00no who MJ LeBron where does the Marlins play and obviously like Stephen A won't
- 42:10talk about the NHL or like for the first take won't talk about at least at least
- 42:16he's transparent about it yeah but he but then like that clip is so weird because
- 42:20he's just like yeah we don't talk about hockey but I have my good friend Gary
- 42:26Bettman and it's just like you just said your good friend is the commissioner of
- 42:31the National Hockey League like I don't want to talk it's like when he tries to
- 42:34know something about college football and he's like oh Nick Saban that's my
- 42:38buddy Alabama should be in the playoff they lost two games so no they should
- 42:43but I mean oh it's also just the NHL sign this deal with ESPN this year yeah
- 42:55and they're just like no we're not gonna talk about it I was like what are you
- 42:58talking on Tuesday on first take something happened in the little cross
- 43:03world where like oh boy here man it was like so I think it was like the major
- 43:09the I saw this all from this like two-minute first take segment the major
- 43:15league lacrosse merged with like the PLL the Supreme Premier lacrosse league or
- 43:20whatever professional maybe I don't like that fucking they merged so they
- 43:26sounded deal with ESPN or something so they had the commissioner or some
- 43:29spokesman on first take and it was just so funny it was like I was like Steve
- 43:35Knight you openly like you don't know shit about hockey and you're like gonna like
- 43:40try to have an opinion on fucking lacrosse
- 43:45cross is a rich kids game yeah I think I did see a clip of PK going on first take
- 43:55and trying to talk with with Stephen a about it because they were talking about
- 43:59the there was there was during the first round when they were talking about the
- 44:02Rangers because you know Stephen is from New York so he has to pretend to have an
- 44:08opinion yeah and he goes like they're gonna lose and he was like no no no this
- 44:15is New York baby we don't lose to New Jersey see it's like Steve I'll Stephen
- 44:25is like the best of all time in terms of like what he does is just fire off
- 44:30opinions oh they scored all right just one more baby Stephen a should cover
- 44:37himself in dirt and taken out in the summer I do I love when he talks about
- 44:44basketball and occasionally NFL I'm like okay you actually know what you're
- 44:49talking about when he talks about anything else like when he said Shohei
- 44:52Otani couldn't be the face of the league because he's Asian that's like low-key
- 45:00racist boy was because he couldn't speak English very well it's like yeah 80%
- 45:05a lot of majority of the league cannot speak English yeah at least very well
- 45:13at all or Asia or Dora's yeah it's like there's like five from America
- 45:22in one of them is mookie bets the other one and the other ones like trap I saw
- 45:33this I saw this tiktok the other day of this Padres fan he he made a sign because
- 45:42he was like sitting on like the upper level but he was like up against the
- 45:45rail he made a sign that said mookie bets each corn the long I saw that I saw
- 45:56that and I was like oh no is that like a is that like a dick-sucking joke or okay
- 46:01because they acknowledged it like on the postgame thing yeah he was like that was
- 46:06like one of the best signs I've ever seen yeah I was like I was like are they
- 46:09gonna knowledge that it was a dick-sucking joke and he didn't or maybe
- 46:13it's just you know that's so weird he's like hey he eats it weird we don't
- 46:21actually do we don't judge him there's anything wrong with that wrong with it
- 46:27something wrong with the way he eats corn my dad eats corn with the way he eats
- 46:32corn
- 46:35I saw that I was like man that's so funny all right well we've been going for
- 46:45like 40-ish minutes I didn't expect to go that long yeah just kind of I was kind
- 46:56of wondering today what we were talking about we're gonna talk about actually
- 46:58what the whole day thinking that the NFL schedule came out but that's tomorrow
- 47:03tomorrow so yeah we'll have I figured that out we'll talk about that next week
- 47:06yeah we could do a but we do know one piece of information about the Titans
- 47:13that I want to just gloss over real quick Titans will be playing in London
- 47:19against the Ravens in week six and I'm very glad that game is not here in
- 47:26Nashville if it is one thing I hate it is when Ravens fans come to Nashville I
- 47:32get angry do we you two have seen me angry yeah well not disclose things that
- 47:38I did but no possible assault charges no possible
- 47:42charges but I'm very glad that the people in London have to deal with those
- 47:50scumbags all the more
- 47:54what we should do for next week everyone bringing like a couple win totals
- 48:03since the schedule be out okay we can oh yeah like that bring a couple over or
- 48:09under yes let's talk about that we can do that for post playoff talk I like that
- 48:14we'll have a week to do that so yeah we've been going for a little bit Chris do
- 48:25you want to wrap it up with some XFL and USFL I would love nothing more will how
- 48:34did how did you do last week three and one and the USFL catching the bug we'll
- 48:42see how this week goes we'll start this week off though with the finale of
- 48:47Chris's XFL gambling corner with the XFL championship renegades defenders over
- 48:55under 48 defenders faded by six and a half I said last week I was gonna take
- 49:00the over as before I thought was 48 that's high I don't like that I thought
- 49:07was gonna be like 43 or something like that so I'm gonna take renegades plus six
- 49:12and a half I feel like you give me almost a touchdown in any sort of
- 49:16championship game I'll take it I mean renegades have been caught fire at the
- 49:21right time at their sub part there are sub 500 team playing for a championship
- 49:26they're fucking hungry I mean yeah so let's go renegades plus six and a half
- 49:33the final play of Chris's XFL gambling corner I'm pretty excited be a little
- 49:38emotional honestly but hey either way you'll come out on top we will but there's
- 49:44no time to talk about all that sentimental stuff because we got the USFL
- 49:47to get into first game Saturday 11 30 a.m. central time Michigan Panthers
- 49:56hosting the Pittsburgh Maulers Pittsburgh Maulers took it to I believe
- 50:00it was the Stallions last week first place in the USFL it was close game the
- 50:08Maulers kind of stink Panthers are favored by three and a half give me the
- 50:11Maulers plus three and a half I think they'll keep it close next game three
- 50:18o'clock on Saturday Houston gamblers at Birmingham Stallions same same
- 50:26philosophy as last week Stallions go up a lot of points they score a lot of
- 50:30points over 48 that's pretty simple and then we go to Sunday generals visiting
- 50:39the Philadelphia Stars line is six and a half in favor of the generals over under
- 50:46four three and a half I bet on Philly last week they burned me big I think I
- 50:50bet a minus two and a half I think they lost by like 30 so like legitimately I
- 50:57think it was like I'm not there but I think it was like 41 to 16 was the final
- 51:01so we'll take generals minus six and a half because yikes because they wronged
- 51:08me so I'm gonna bet against them right and then to kick it or to for the finale
- 51:14whatever you want to call it the showboats visiting the New Orleans breakers
- 51:18breakers favored by seven over under 48 before you go I think the showboats may
- 51:25be the worst team they won last week outright yeah I mean they were winless
- 51:31before that breaker but you I do agree the showboats do kind of stink breakers
- 51:38are really good think breakers minus seven and that is Chris's USFL gambling
- 51:46corner with a little bit more research than last week all right but see we can
- 51:51go three and one again if not four no I guess maybe five and no with the XFL in
- 51:58there could be what is your USFL record three and one three and one oh yeah I
- 52:07didn't want oh funny story I said on Sunday I was at a baby shower and it was
- 52:14winding down and people were leaving and I was in living room in the remote was
- 52:18sitting right next to me it's like there's a USFL game on right now it's a flip it on NBC
- 52:26let's check it out see what's going on I watched about five minutes and then
- 52:30someone else came in who I had met a couple times before and he was like there's
- 52:35a playoff he's big hockey fan it's like I think the Hurricanes game is going on
- 52:38right now we should watch that why are we watching the USFL and I was like yeah
- 52:43who put it on man didn't have the heart to tell him was like yeah yeah I got money
- 52:49got money on it man without flipping over to that game to the Hurricanes game
- 52:53and I watched that game go over to cash another bet there you go so win-win
- 52:57yeah well sounds like a good baby shower actually was pretty good baby shower had
- 53:01a couple drinks watched some hockey it was a good time okay maybe showers don't
- 53:06sound so bad it was alright don't invite me to another apparently both sides of
- 53:16the family throw a baby shower I don't think that's normal I don't I've never

- 53:47they have another one the only do they have another one they might not even
- 53:52you should even have you you should only have baby showers for the first one
