• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites from the Action Network. I am
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Chad Melman, black Jack Fletchers with me because it's Friday,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: it's the Friday Podcast. You're already laughing at me. That
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: intro gets me every time. Why is that because you're
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: using like the stereotypical FM radio DJ voice. Is that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: what it is? Yeah, it's awful, like what they would
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: use on w k RP and Cincinnati. Yeah, that's like
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. I don't know if you know you're
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: doing it, but I am doing something that to an
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: exaggerated effect. Yeah, maybe mix it up, try something different
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: next week. I've gone a little bit lower key a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: couple of times. Yeah, you should try that. Try to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: deepen your voice a little. I don't want to change away. Okay,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: maybe you should try. My motivation is to be I'm
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: glad you finally found that this guy. This guy. We're
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: producing a series of videos trying to teach people who
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: don't have experience in gambling the terminology and how to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: do it and things like that, and Chad decided that
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: he should be the feature of some of these videos
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and sot down to record seven minutes worth of video content.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It took fifty five minutes to record that. How long
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it took? Did it take nine? My mistake? And at
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: one point he sat in the room with our producers
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and said, what's my motivation for this video? What's my
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: motivation for this video? I don't know. Be interesting, be successful,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: make people not turn it off. And the videos, the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: videos are awful. I mean, he is stiff as a board.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The only thing moving in the video is is mouth.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: It's like when Ricky Bobby did his first and he
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do with his hands him right now?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Are you going to let these Oh, don't lie to him.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Don't lie to him as once you asked Darren, because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Darren saw some of them and wanted to reshoot yours.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Shut up? Did he really? Were you gonna call him
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a dick? I'm feeling about him right now. Wait to go.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And for those of you out there who find Darren
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Ravelle annoying on Twitter, think about what it must be
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like to have him in an office all day, every day.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Just think about that. The excitement he showed on his
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Instagram about finding almond butter snickers, that's not exaggerated, that's real.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a little upset about the videos. I need to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: see them now. Sorry, I just made a lot more
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: work for these guys. I gotta see him. I was
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a little self conscious doing and it was hard to do.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: How are you self conscious? You're on camera all the time?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How are you this self conscious? Some of us like
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: some listen, I'm trying to be more honest. And while
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I project a lot of confidence and uh, she's like
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I have it all together and like everything is easy
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and like I got it all under control, there are
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: moments where I feel nervous. I've expressed nervousness about the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: fact that we're doing our live podcast, and I'm nervous
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people aren't going to show up.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we we talked about this a little
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: bit yesterday. I am a little concerned about your nerves
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for the live show because you sometimes buckle up a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: little bit. Um, we're gonna need to do a shot beforehand.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're doing a live show. It's January
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: six pm, folies. It's on thirty third between fifth and six,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: right across the street from the Empire State Building on
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: thirty third Street. Matt Ford and Antonio and I went
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: there yesterday producers of the podcast, and um, we had
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: lunch there. We saw the space. Did you pay for lunch?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I paid for lunch and I gave a big tip
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: because being so gracious to us, and uh, they the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: space is amazing, Like it's actually, I felt so much better.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not nervous about it anymore. I was nervous about it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I felt so much better after seeing the space because
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we have more than a couple hundred people signed up
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and we have people flying in. But even if like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: half of those people showed up, we're which is normal,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like I think about people end up showing up to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: these things. We're going to fill that space. Like it's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a perfect space for a live podcast. It's gonna be amazing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It's a great bar, a great spot, easy to get to,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: close to Penn Station. M M. It's gonna be a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. Paul Luduca, Jeff Schwartz coming into town.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited about it. Yeah. Yeah, I love being
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: around those two guys together because obviously both who were
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: very successful former athletes, but they could not be more
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: different human beings if they tried. You guys were not
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: really very nice to me on the podcast on Monday. Well, listen,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they were upset that you're never there. Okay, they miss you.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I mean this should be something that you feel good about.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, your own family doesn't really want you around,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: but Jeff and Paul do, so they were hurt. They
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: lashed out at a great facetown call with my younger
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: son this morning. See, this is why they get upset.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You just totally blew that off. I love them too.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Did your your son actually answered the FaceTime call? Wow?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He's like, did you think it was someone else? No,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: He's like, how's your day going to be? What's gonna
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: happen to you? Does he want something? No? He was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: just like waiting for carpool the school and was being
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: nice to me. That's weird. Something's going on. I did
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: tell him that we talked in the podcast about how
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he left the conversation and he just looked at me
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and he smarked. He goes, that was pretty good. Your
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: son's your sons. Your son's kind of my hero. Listen,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl is coming up. I don't know if
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you know that or not. The Los Angeles Rams are
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: playing in the New England page Riots. The game opened
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: with the Rams at minus one immediately moved to the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Patriots all the way to minus two and a half.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: One sports book the South Point put up a Pats
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: minus three lasted for fifteen minutes. The wise guys jumped
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on it, so it's back down to two and a half.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I think we found the number. We're gonna talk a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: lot about this on Monday and the live podcast, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I do think it's worthy before we get into the show,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: um to talk a little bit about our early leans
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: on the sides for the game, because I have a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: feeling you and I are on different sides. Of course
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we are, because you are going to be the idiot
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: who takes the rams here. Listen. I I was on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: New England for fifteen weeks this season, and then the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: loss of Pittsburgh happened and I got shook. I I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: abandoned ship. Okay, I turned my back on the greatest
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: dynasty that pro sports has ever seen, and I paid
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: for it. I paid dearly. Okay. I had the Chargers,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I had the Chiefs, and I took it right on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the chin both weeks. But you know what, Chad, in life,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you have to be flexible, and I am a big
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: enough man to stand up and say I was wrong.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Hand up, that was on me, New England. You're better
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: than me, Tom Brady. You you outsmarted me. You You're
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the greatest living American. And now I will never do
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it again. I will never do it again. We do
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: not live in a universe where Jared Goff beats Tom
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Brady in a Super Bowl. We do not live in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a universe where the New England Patriots lose back to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: back Super Bowls. It doesn't happen. I don't care that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sean mcveigh's a genius. I don't care that he's got
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: ted wrath pulling him back by his belt loops from
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the from the field. I don't care about any of it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I care that number twelve is lining up on one
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: side of the field and not on the other. That's it,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: New England. And I will say this, if you're going
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to take the Patriots like I have, don't look around
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: with the point spread. Lay the little bit of juice.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: What is minus one? Because the Patriots do tend to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: play close super bowls, right, they tend to be involved
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in close. Don't shut the funk out, don't lay the points,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: just go on the money line. Be Confident in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Wind New England by a million. In addition to running
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: all the content for the Action Network and then being
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in high level strategy meetings and thinking of the idea
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: for how to bet education videos and performing in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: how to bet education videos and doing this and motivation
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and like working with everyone in a live podcast and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: then having a meet about the live podcast and then
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: do interviews with reporters and have strategy meetings. As I mentioned,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I also wrote a story. I wrote two stories this week. Okay,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: good for you. I started it yesterday morning. You wrote
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a column. That's how you described it to a column
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: or a column. Started yesterday morning. Didn't really know where
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I was going with it, but I just sort of,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you know, found my way. It's what I do. I'm
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a professional. And then I had a dinner last night,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: got back from the dinner, I wrote it until later
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in the evening, turned it in at six thirty this morning.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: The column is basically about how everyone believes that they
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: should just bet the Patriots because they're the Patriots, because
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: they make things things happen. And then you look at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: their performance in the Super Bowl other than the Rams
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which they were fourteen point dogs and came
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: back in one. They have been favored in every Super Bowl.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: They have covered two of those games. One they got
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: lucky and covered in overtime. Another was the Malcolm Butler
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: game where they were up. The other games have been
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: incredibly close or they've lost. So three or five and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: three straight up. So while I'm with you on the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: fact that they could they most likely will win, I'm
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: not with you and taking the three points. So hold
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: on you. You see, this is why this is when
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I get hot. This is when I get hot. Gambling
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is about probabilities. It's about betting on probabilities. And you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: just told me New England is most likely going to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: win this game. But I'm on the Rams. I don't
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna cover. Lay the just lay the juice.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Lay the juice. That's why it's there. That's why it's there.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Forget the points, don't scoore around with them. Take the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: team that you yourself just said is most likely going
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to win. That's the best bet. You know what. I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: take it back, I'm not sure they're most likely to win.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You can't take it back. You just said it. No,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I might actually go the Rams on the money like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you don't do it? Do it? You want to do it?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Right now? Let's do it? How much you wanted that?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Straight up winner? Deal? Deal? That feels good. I want
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the point. I'll tell you what. I'll split the difference.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'll give you two. All right, that's how generous I am.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: That's good, very good, very good. If this is a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: one point game, I'm gonna kill something. Why don't we?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Why don't we introduced Georgina? Hello fellas, you're excited if
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you're life super Bowl Show next week? Very excited. I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: can't wait Live super Bowl Show, super Bowl. It is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: going to be so much fun. And now we've got
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: something on the line, you and I we should do.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I think I have a sneaking suspicion that that either
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: won't be the only bet we have or that number
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is going to go up two fifties Mackeries, because I'm
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: going to a cocky as the week goes on, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like, hey, you want three. I make
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: so much more money than you, and you are so
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: willing to bet more than I am. Okay, do you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: really want to go down that road? That's because I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: am an actual gambler gamble am B I L I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: N G gambling. We should just replay luducas. We should
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: just replay Luduca. That was legitimately the highlight. Let's just
• 12:31

• 12:33
  Speaker 1: cut it. You guys can splice that in there, do

• 14:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be great. It's gonna be great. So here's our game.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We've been doing that for ten years, Scooch and I.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Here's our here's our game, really because because obviously there's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: there's like not a ton to talk about yet, but
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: we gotta have a podcast anyways. So, uh, here's the game.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Real or fake props? Georgina, come on up, explain the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: rules of the game. Let's play a game. Everyone. Is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: this a real bat or a fake bat? That was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: pretty much the explanation. Simple enough, simple enough, nine questions,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It says in the script, Georgina will explain the rules
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of the game. Okay, so I'm adhering to the script.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know this all right, what's the first one?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Let's see, if we like a real one, we're gonna
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: bet on it together. If it's a fake one, I
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: think people will figure that out. We got nine of them.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Will the announcers specifically mention any beat, the spread, the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: money line, a prop bet or the over under? Yes
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: plus two seventy five, No, minus four hundred. That is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a fake prop? Okay, you think it's fake because CBS
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: has come out and said times they like. They said
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it again yesterday in their you know, pretty Super Bowl
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: press conference. They've said it. They are added, which by
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the way, is absurd, so stupid. I mean, I don't
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: understand their reluctance to talk about something that is drawing
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a majority of viewers to the game. You think if
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo mentions a bet, they're gonna fire Tony Romo.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I know, But to be fair, I don't think Tony
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Romo is aware of anything happening outside of what's directly
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in front of him on the football field. Now, if
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: this was Al Michael's and Chris Collinsworth, there's no chance
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: al Michael's isn't mentioning something I would like to see.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Uh And I don't know what's on this list yet.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I would like to see if there are props on
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: how many predictions Tony Romo will get correct that. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: believe the over under seven and a half. Wow, I'll
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: take the under on that. I don't know. It's a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: lot eight. I think he's got like five or six,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: but five or six. You got like five or six
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: on the left drive along back and examine that he
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: called every play on that drive. I promise you it
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: was like five or six at the most five or six.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and listen to it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Tony was amazing. Next, well, we gotta get the answer.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Is it real? Fake? Sorry, guys, this one's not real
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: just yet. Don't be sorry, Georgina. We knew well Tony
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Romo correctly predict a touchdown? Yes? Plus two? No, minus two.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: That's a good one because I know there is the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: prop we just talked about on the number of players.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But will he correctly predict a touchdown? I'm gonna say
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that's fake. I don't know that he does that. I'm
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: going to say it's fake. And I'll tell you why.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Tell me why. No bookmaker would ever make the yes
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: on this plus two hundred mm. That's true. The yes
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: would be minus two hundred. The know would be plus
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: money because they would be overwhelmed with yes money. Yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: but I don't know that Romo predicts the outcome of plays. Generally,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: he says things like, you know, look for the slant here,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: or you know, watch Gronkowski on the outside, Like I
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: don't know that he says like this is going to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: be a touchdown like he usually doesn't, you know what
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, I think it's fake. Answer this one
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: is real because Tony Romo seems to be some kind
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: of sorcerer. He is all right, yes plus two hundred,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I do that. You don't want to bet that one? No,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I I don't think he does it. I don't think
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: he predicts touchdowns. He doesn't predict the outcome of the play.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: He usually just looks at the formation and says what
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the team is going to try to do? I mean,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: does that make sense to you? But about to see
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: like if they're from the three yard line, He'll be like,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be run right off tackle for a touchdown. Yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think he says it. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: would bet I wouldn't do it. I'm already overextended. I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: already nervous about how much I've bet in this game
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: with you. What's next? Will Tom Brady miss a high five? Yes?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Plus six hundred? No? Mine is a thousand? Those odds
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: feel right? That's fake. It's too hard to judge it
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: from the television screen, Like we're gonna be examining fingertips
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: again and players to see if he made contact. Also,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: like just think about it. You need to have an
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: ISO in media business that's like called in on Tom
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Brady the whole time in order to know what he's doing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Like he could miss a high five on the sideline,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he could, you know, like with Josh McDaniels, or like,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that's too hard to grade fake. This one's fake, Yes
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it is, but I like the y I do too.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: How many women not married to a member or employed
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: by an action network will attend the live podcast at
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Follies on Monday over under three point five? Okay, this
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is a real bet within our own office. Um, and uh, yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this is most definitely a real bet. Uh what do
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you think? Oh, definitely the under Yeah, I'm with you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. As far as I know. We have
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: one female I am. I am trying to drum up
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: some more females here. Me, me and Matt four have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: talked about this. We're trying, but it's it's a tough sell.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Why but why do we care? Like, I mean, just
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to add some diversity to the room. I think our
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: fans are who are fans are? It's like, I'm not
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we're not. We're not marketing this. We're not calling up
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: someone and saying, hey, advertise on this. Don't you have
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a reporter coming to this? Yeah, so it might be
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: nice to have a couple of women around. I don't care,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: all right, dad, moment of the Action Network quote. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: don't care if there are women around. I'd love to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: have a diverse audience, But like, I want an audience
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that is engaged, that is excited about our content. I
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: want our audience to find us. If we happen to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: have more women to come, I think that'd be amazing.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: But right now, knowing what we know, about our audience,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: knowing what we know about where he engages, knowing what
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: we know about who replies, knowing that we've literally gotten
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a response from one woman in But you have two
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: months of doing this podcast. You have to making that
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have under three and a half. You have
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to admit that number feels right, doesn't it like three
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and a half feels And I'm okay with that. We're
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: gonna get bigger, We're gonna grow. We just started as
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the Action Network. We've only been around a year. This
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: podcast started in September, Like it takes a while to build. Man, Alright,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: so we're all on the under there, okay, answer black
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Jack has groupies now one. I think we're safely on
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the under here. I'm trying, man, I'm trying, but it's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. It's a tough sell. Six pm
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: on Monday. If the Rams win, well, the city of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles have a parade with over ten thou attendees. Yes,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: minus a thousand, no, plus four hundred? Again, how could
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you grade that? And how would you What do you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: mean they measure every I don't know, man. We live
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in the era of fake news. I mean, Donald Trump
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: says this inauguration was the largest ever, and other people
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: say there was like thirty people there. I don't know.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: How do you grade it? Here's how you grade it.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Ten thousands a pretty precise number. Here's how you grad it.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: You take a you you take a digital photograph of
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the parade route from overhead. You take out a portion
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of that photograph square, you plot it, You count the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: number of people. Then you make equal number of squares
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: for the entire photograph, and you multiply that by the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: number of people in that one square. Okay, thank you
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: for walking us through how it's actually done. But what
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: sports book is going to set that prop and and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: who's whose number are they accepting? They will accept the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: official estimate from who whoever, whatever city holds the parade,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So Los Angeles definitely won't inflate that number at all. Dude,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: how many times have you seen a parade where you
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: can see massive humanity? You know almost instantly if there's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: more or less than ten thousand people. I don't think
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you do. And knowing is it? Thinking? You know isn't
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the same thing as as a sports book paying out
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: on it. People is just not that many people. I mean,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, but nobody really gives a damn
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: by football in l A. Well, that's beside the point.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: But that's a factor because how many of them will
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: turn out to the parade. I think it would be
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: more than ten people. I don't know. They could get
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: seventy tho people. It still wouldn't even look that big.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: More people watch the Patriots Chiefs than they did the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Rams game in l A. That's pathetic. I don't know
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: how to respond to what you're saying. I'm just telling
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you I don't think it's real. I don't think it's real.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's probably fake. Answer this one's not real, dumb dumbs. Well,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: we're not dumb. We knew it, but we know how
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to grade it if it is real. We got that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: hope thing figured out. Chad's going to be the guy
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: sitting there counting heads in the pictures. I think that'd
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: be fun. You would think that's fun. I like to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: get to an answer. I'd like to mark progress. Okay,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: next six, Well, Jim Nance or Tony Romo say hot Atlanta, Yes,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: plus two hundred no minus to sixty one's real? That
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: one's real, and I'm taking the yes, yeah, Tony, Tony's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: gonna get worked up at some point and he's gonna
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: say it, Tony is gonna get excited. No, no, no,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is Tony is gonna get excited and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Jim Nance is gonna say getting we're getting hit in
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: here and hot Atlanta? What's that your Jim Nance? Wise?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna give me your tie at the end
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of the show, Marco Mira putting? Do you think Jim
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Nance just holds up in Georgia for like the rest
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: of the month. I mean, he probably should goes from
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl to the Master's got two months. He's
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: got Mark Maddiness. If only that was in Atlanta. Uh, yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: this one's real. It's real. We agree. I would bet
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the Yes, this one is real, but I hope it's
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to know. I would take the plus money. I put
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: ten dollars on this. Get you big spender? Can we
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: get Luduke on the phone and tell him you just
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: put ten dollars on a problem of that dam baing?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You know he was sounding it out in his head too.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: That's part is you could just see the wheels turn.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, he bet seven hundred times in a month.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. Hey man, he's given that app a workout.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He's he That was my question to him, just how
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: do you physically input seven hundred bets in a month?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You can, as you know, we we have a free
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: app for the Action Network down with the app and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you can actually follow people in the app who you
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: want to see how they're betting and stuff. Believe it
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: or not. Believe black Jack Fletcher has more followers in
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the app than anybody else. There's a shock you're north
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of like followers or whatever, which is great, um, isn't it?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: And Uh, I loved I gotta figure out where l
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Duke is. I know we have that data somewhere and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I can't remember it hasn't been up there. And you
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: can receive an alert every time Paul places a better
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: feel like. I gotta tell you I did cut off
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the alerts for Luduca too. I did too. He's the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: only one I turned off of the people I follow.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It couldn't do it that work for us because he
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: was literally waking me up in the middle of the night. Yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it was exhausting. Like I'd be on calls or I'd
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: be in meetings and like it won't stop, It won't stop.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: It's just it's fucking crazy. All right, I'm actually actually someone, um,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: how many followers in DUKEA has? Okay, well, while you're
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: doing that, why don't we move on to the next proble.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Let's do it seven? How many time outs will the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: winning team have at halftime? Over under one p five?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's real. How many time outs will the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: winning team have? Although if it's a tie at halftime,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: why does it matter if they're winning? I guess, Oh,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the winning team at halftime? All right, let me think
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: about this. The winning thing gives me pause. The winning
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: team at halftime where they have more or less than
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: one and a half times out? Because if the game
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: is tied, which I mean it could be, then there's
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: no action on that. Huh you know what I mean? Right,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: So there's no action. If it's a tie, then I know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: But why would a book make that bet win that?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I mean the tie at halftime? Is it's not like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: out of the realm? Or is it asking for the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: team at the who wins the game? Ultimately we're doing
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a look back here now, this is too complicated fake. Also,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, it's fake and if it's real, it's stupid. Yeah, agreed,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: totally agree. This is a fake. Prop submits by listener
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Alto Gross for the prop contest. Wow, that was clever listen.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Good try, um, but bad we said it was stupid.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to insult our listeners. It was a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: good try, but no one's beating my propit. It's also
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: sad that Alto Gross now knows he. I'm assuming it's
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a he because we don't have any female listeners. He
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: is not going to win the prop contest. No, I'm
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: winning the prop contest. What was yours? Again? My prop
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: was because the rules said it had to be something
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: measurable that you could measure. So my prop was, what
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: is the length of Tony Romo's largest visible erection during
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the broadcast? Because Tony is going to be so excited
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to call this game that there's no doubt he will
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: be fully aroused. He will be fully aroused for most
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of it, um, and so it's there will be someone
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: out there measuring his erection. And I'd like to know
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that Ford set the line at nine, so he he's
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: given Tony a lot of credit here. If Jim nance
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: in the middle in the middle of the broadcast. If
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Jim Nance just yells out Hotlanta for no reason whatsoever,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Kidney because like, Tony's excited. I mean, listen, I love
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Tony's excitement. It's his excitement for football, not his sexual excitement. Um,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. He's gonna be really excited. What's next.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Eight If SpongeBob is a performer in the halftime show,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: will he kneel in protest? Yes plus three thousand, no
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: minus twenty THO. I don't think this is real. Well,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: what is SpongeBob supposed to be? Okay, there are elements
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of this that are real, because okay, SpongeBob, I'm probably
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: going to say something. I'm probably going to say something
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: that people think is like obvious, but I have no
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: idea what it is. There was a prop bet that said, like,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: is Maroon five gonna play some song something victory that
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of, uh, in tribute or in honor
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: of SpongeBob square Pants. And I don't know what any
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of that means. So I don't know Maroon fives. So
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the whole SpongeBob connection, I don't know. I mean, maybe
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: SpongeBob rolls out with Big Boy and Maroon five. Well,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: here's why they could do it. I don't know, but
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: it feels like it would be a weird look that
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if like they have
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a relationship with SpongeBob or whatever, or if they just
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: loved him growing up. Uh, Spongebobs, they're not that young.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: SpongeBob creator died this year or recently, is what happened?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: All right, But what the hell does that have to
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: do with the super Bowl and Maroon five. I don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: know either. I'm gonna say it's fake unless a listener
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: submitted this prop. I'm gonna say it's utterly ridiculous. So
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: it's like an if then and usually you don't see
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: that with props, so it's fake. Answer somehow, this one
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: is actually real. What I'm shocked. What sports book put
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this crap up? That's astonishing. That's a trash prop. Down bookmaker, bookmaker,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: be better. That's garbage. What's next? Nine? Well, chad up?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Blackjack cried during Maroon fives performance of She Will Be
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Loved Yes minus two hundred, no, plus a thousand. I'm
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: not crying from a room back. We got to hear
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Georgina saying one more time nine Well Chad up. Blackjack
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: cried during Maroon fives performance of She Will Be Loved
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yes minus two hungred she will be Loved. So so
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: far this week, I've gotten Paula Duca singing pay Phone,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Chad Millman singing she will be Loved. Can't wait for
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week. Um Duke and I might
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: just do a duet at the White Pocket. I'm not
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: There's no way I'm crying in Room five. No chance,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: no chance. I don't. I hate Maroon five. I'll be honest.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I really think they're awful. Like they're so uninteresting to me.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of their songs. I do think
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Adam Levine has a nice voice, but like they're so overproduced.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Can I can? I can? I dive into that for
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: a second, because one of my favorite bets is the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: first song that will be played at the halftime show.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I've I've studied this now. I've spent a lot of
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: time on their catalog and watching their their concerts recently.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Uh do you think they're gonna lip sync? Because I've
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: watched a bunch of their lives stuff lately. He doesn't
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: sound that great live. Mhm, he doesn't. It's not it's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: not the same. He can't necessarily get as high as
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you think you can. He's not trying the right stuff. Yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: well maybe, but I mean, do you think the lip
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: sync it that's a dangerous road. But going live is
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: dangerous too. I think they'll go live. Yeah, I don't know.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I don't be interfraid. He's in like the TV show
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: The Voice, he probably goes live there. He sounds like
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I've I'm not a watch that show, but I have
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: seen it a couple of times and he's been amazing.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I've also seen a video with him and uh, who's
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the other guy, Blake, the tall guy, Blake Shelton, Blake Shelton. Uh,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they do a duet together. They're amazing. They seem to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: be like good friends. I'm excited for them. You're excited
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: for their friendship. I like when like people start something
