  Speaker 3: Let's go with that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: We've got ball on the menu, of course, ball on
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: the brain. We're bala holocks over here. More NFL games
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: have been released as these strip. If the strip tease continues,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: you know, just slowly, slowly, but surely you know, the
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: little game here, little little taste, little taste and then
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: more games. The entire schedule will be unveiled on Thursday,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: so we're inching closer to that. So I have some
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: thoughts on that Coop's Broncos in the news. Of course
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: they will be it. What's that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Lorena, it's gone taste it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That's right, you're a taster.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: We do have new drops from last night, as a
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: couple of the Militia members were like, that's a drop.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: That's a drop. That's another drop. That's a drop too.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: So Lorena was preparing feverishly and she is. She's cut
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: up some drops. We will hear those in a little
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: bit later on this show and in this hour. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: would say, when we introduce Coop and Loraina and get
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: all that good stuff there, that'd be a good place
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: for the drops. I'm looking forward to. That should be
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: a lot of fun. Also, oh, not just ball on
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the brain. I was gonna say that Coop, I'm writing
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: it down right now. Is Broncos in the news. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: that's the first Monday night Game's gonna be the Chiefs
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: hosting the Broncos. So we'll get Coop's thoughts on that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Excited about that matchup, it's kind of interesting where. Initially
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the NFL Adam Schefter tweeted where he was like, it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: gonna be Broncos Chiefs. We don't know where, though, it
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: was like, what we don't what do you mean we.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Don't know where? They're working that out. We don't know where?
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So they figured that out on Tuesday.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be in Kansas City in week one, which
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: basically lets you know it's another indication. You know, it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: another easter egg. If you will that you've got Mahomes
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: gonna be on the field for week one, I would.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I wish I could bet that if there are any
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: markets that I don't know if you can bet that
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: on Calshier or the predictive markets will Patrick. I'm just
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: saying maybe you could parlay that, you know, like, first
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: let's see if it's is something you can gamble on,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and then secondly, let's see if we can parlay it
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: and boost our winnings.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Right there, you know, that's how my brain works.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: But he will be on the field week one, even
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: with that torn acl late last season, he will be.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: He'll prepare like crazy. I love these shows where like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: do we know if Mahomes is even gonna be on
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the field in week one. It's like, yeah, we basically do.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be on the field in week one.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I hope.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I'm not spoiling anything for you, but that will be
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: a thing that will happen. I also want to talk
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: a little hoops hoops on the brain. I only had,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: By the way, I only had one bet on Tuesday.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't bet on the basketball game at all, but
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: late at night that there was a hockey game on.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I was getting my notes ready. The only bet I
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: had was on the hockey game, and I lost it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: That's the only bet I had on Tuesday. But they
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: were going into overtime, the Golden Knights taking on the Ducks,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: and Steve Leeve he was like, yeah, you know, we'll
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: see in intermission after the first overtime. You know, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: just was casually listening, you know, I was working on
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: my notes. I don't know if it was a joke.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he misspoke and said something or
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: he was predicting it, but it sounded like he was
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: predicting that the first overtime would be scoreless and we
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: would He'd be like, well, we'll see in the intermission
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: going into the second overtime, and I'm like, let me
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: pull up the odds over here, all right, no goals
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: in the first overtime it was like plus three twenty.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: So I fired a little, little tiny bet and it lost.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: It was like four minutes in. They're like, and the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Golden Knights win.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: They score.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, there goes that. So that was the
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: only bet on Tuesday. So no big deal, no high stakes,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: no no rapid fire gambling for yours truly. But I
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: was keeping a close eye on hoops. And the Spurs
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: beat the Timberwolves down. Spurs beat him by twenty nine points.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: It's kind of a crazy game because the score was
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: tied at six, so the Spurs had a twelve point
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: lead at halftime, and the next thing, you know, to
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: start the third quarter, Minnesota goes on a run. They
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: tie the game sixty one a piece, just under eight
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: minutes to go in the third quarter. The Spurs and
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: the third quarter on a thirty to twelve run. They
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: took an eighteen point lead and they didn't look back.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: They just added to that one by twenty nine points.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Pretty crazy. A game like that's the NBA for you man,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: just when you're thinking, hey man, Timberwolves Clawn back in
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: this thing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: They tied it up.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they lost by twenty nine, but that's life in
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: the NBA. It was crazy when beinn Yama came to play.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Was not suspended for Game five, in my opinion, nor
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: should he have been. He was ejected in Game four
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: for the vicious elbow that connected with nas reed. He
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: missed two and a half quarters of the game, Spurs
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: lost the game. He had no prior run ins, no
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: rap sheet of this type of behavior. So the NBA said, yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: let's keep the alien on the floor in game five.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: So he played and he was marvelous. Wemby was fantastic.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Twenty seven points, seventeen rebounds, added five assists in three
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: blocks for good measure, very efficient too, nine for sixteen
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: from the field, hit a couple of three pointers. It
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: is crazy because his points prop was twenty seven and
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: a half points for the gamblers out there, right, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: he had twenty one points in the first half, So
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: you might have been thinking, all right, feeling good, looking good.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: It's not probably not a blowout, you know, Like I said,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: first four minutes of the third quarter was tied up.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: It's a tight game sixty.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: One apiece, so you don't have to worry about, Okay
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: is getting out of hand. Wemby isn't gonna play in
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. It wasn't anything like that. He just
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: didn't score that much. He ended up with twenty seven points.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: He actually went to the free throw line with twenty
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: six points, right, so if he makes both of them,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: he goes over his points of twenty seven and a half.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: He missed the first one and then of course made
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the second one, so he ended with twenty seven points.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: So if you were on the over twenty seven and
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: a half, h you got hooked. You got hooked, lost
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: by half a point. So that is that is sports
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: betting in a nutshell right there. So hopefully you were
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: either on the under or it did tick down to
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: twenty six and a half. If you were over twenty
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: six and a half.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You're a winner.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Cash it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: But Wenby played great, gambling to the side twenty seven
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: and seventeen the game. After he was ejected early in
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the second quarter in Game four, he responded, he was fantastic.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: He played great.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: The Spurs they consistently doubled Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards was
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: held in check. Had twenty points. He wasn't bad, but
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: just twenty points, six for thirteen from the field, facing
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: a lot of doubles and so Ant was passing quite
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: a bit, not getting a whole lot of shots, not
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of volume.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: So they did a good job on him.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I liked that defensive approach by the Spurs, and you
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: didn't get much else. There was a cold shooting night
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: for the Timberwolves. Collectively thirty nine percent from the field,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: twenty seven percent from three.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Not what you're looking for. Ice cold.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: There's brick city for the Timberwolves on Tuesday night, Orange
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Julius Randall, I call them Orange Julius inefficient. Seventeen points
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: on seventeen shots, not what you're looking for, zero for
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: four from three. Did have ten boards, but the scoring
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: just wasn't there. Timberwolves didn't have enough and they got
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: worked by twenty nine points. They will try to stave
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: off elimination in game six. We'll get to Game six
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: on Thursday evening. But the Timberwolves offense can't be trusted.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: That's one of the major takeaways. They cannot be trusted.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: They settle for way too many threes at times. There
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: was a run in the first half where they tried
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: a corner three, not even close fast break for the Spurs.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: They tried another three, not even close fast break for
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: the Spurs. It's like, I don't know, why don't we
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: try to get to the bucket. Why don't we shoot
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: mid range? I know that Wemby is protecting the rim,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: that's a great luxury to have, but the Timberwolves are
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: not shy about attacking the rim, attacking the basket, or
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: getting to the paint getting mid range shots.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: They're just settling for long jumpers far too often.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: And I realize you're gonna have to shoot a good
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: number of them against a Wembin Yama led defense. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: get that, I do, but again they they've Shannon Shannon
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Junior was like, Hey, we're not afraid we're gonna attack
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: him all the time.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: We're not.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: We're not shying away from Wemby. And the next thing
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just three, three, three. They shot twenty
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: seven percent. It's like less threes, a little more mid range,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: a little more get to the bucket. But they were
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: just out ice cold from three, and I don't want
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: to see them settling for more threes. That's the Boston
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Celtics way of thinking, Hey, we're ice cold, let's just
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: shoot more of them like that. That's how they get down. Meanwhile,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: you know, I call them Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: That's what wem Bin Yama and the supporting cast is.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Wem Bin Yama is this uber star, right, He's this megastar.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: And the rest of the supporting cast of the Spurs
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: is really really good.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: The Aaron Fox can place fon Castle is really really good.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Dylan Harper continues to do his thing twelve points and
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: ten rebounds. But it's just I don't know what it
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: is about the Spurs. They're really really solid, but it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: not like stardom. I feel like when Wemby was ejected
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: in game four, it would be like when Tom Petty
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: was alive and he was like, Hey, I'm gonna go
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: backstage for about five songs, but just hang out with
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: the Heartbreakers. They got you covered. I'll see you in
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: about I don't know, half hour at least, and he
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: just left the stage. You'd be like, this is kind
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: of weird, this kind of sucks. I bring back Tom,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: there'd be chance, petty petty.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: You'd want Tom Petty, You'd want the starback out there.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: That's how I feel with the Spurs.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: When Wemby is off the floor, I'm kind of like,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: this is that's all right, But where's the star?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Where's the main attraction? WB Like.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: That's how it feels with the Spurs. But they are
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: a very very solid team. And there was a stat
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: with Dylan Harper. He has scored the most points off
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: the bench in the twenty twenty six NBA playoffs. He's
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: scored one hundred and thirty six points. Nas Reeds second
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: on the list with one thirty three. But Dylan Harper
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: is a really, really good player. He's a rookie second
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: overall pick. But I was watching this game and I
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: was thinking, you know, if you're looking at teams just
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: based on excitement in the NBA, who does it for you?
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I think that's a good question, right, Because we're always
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: ranking teams like, hey, who's gonna win the East, who's
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: gonna win the West, who's gonna win the NBA Finals.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: We're always looking at who's going to emerge, who's going
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: to win? Nothing wrong with that, But if I'm just
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: looking at who is exciting, who is box office entertainment value?
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Forget about who's gonna win the championship? Who are you
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: most entertained by?
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: And sorry, I started thinking about this, and of the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: teams that are still remaining, I would put the Knicks
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: number one. The Knicks number one. Their style of play
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: is I think it's entertaining. Jalen Brunson is a fun watch.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: He's crazy with his moves. He's just very jittery and shifty,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: and it's really fun to watch a guy who's undersized
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: by NBA standards create enough space and get his shots
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: off all the time. And sometimes it'll be being guarded
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: by a guy that's way taller than him, and somehow,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: some way he'll get a shot off, create space and
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: he'll score on a tall guy and it's like, wow, man,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: he's fun to watch.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: And what the Knicks do? They're just grinders, man.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: The collection of Josh Hart mckel bridges a cat now
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: a facilitator, I don't know. They're an entertaining watch to me,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: and coupled with their crazy fan base, and I mean
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: that in a complementary way that they're crazy people over
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: there I'm captivated by the Knicks fan base. When they're
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: playing a home game, there's instant energy. It always feels
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: like a big game. And now that they're a big deal,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: the road crowd is just taking over, right, So that's
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: fun too. So I have the next top of the
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: list most entertaining of the playoff teams, remaining number two.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: On the list.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: You might you might not agree with this, but to me,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: it's the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now again, we're not looking for
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: the best team, the team that's gonna win the East,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: win the NBA Finals, just entertainment value. Who is entertaining? Okay,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I would put the Calves up there. Donovan Mitchell is
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: a star. Spider. Mitchell is fun to watch, athletic, creative
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: shot maker when he is firing man thirty nine points
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: in the second half of the last game like that,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: special ties in NBA playoff record for the most points
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: in any half. That's the type of stardom that Donovan
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Mitchell brings to the table. So, and coupled with is
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: the Beard gonna play well tonight, He's gonna have way
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: more turnovers than made field goals like that, that part
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: of it is interesting to me and the Calves are
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: just I don't know man from from play to play,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: from quarter to quarter, half to half. Sometimes they look great,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: sometimes they look like a disaster. But I'm entertained by them.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I am not entertained by the Pistons. I respect them.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Kate Cunningham is fun to watch. He is a star player.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: But the Pistons collectively, I like how they play defense,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: they compete, They're.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Hard nosed, but they're just that fun of a watch
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: to me. I don't know, it's just me.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: You're trailing by twenty four points against the Magic, It's
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: just I'm not really captivated by them. I would put
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: the Timberwolves in the top three. I do like watching
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: the t Wolves. I think they're fun. Anthony Edwards is
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: a superstar, creative, playmaker, athletic, competitive as hell. He's the
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: best competitor in basketball, I think easily. He is fantastic
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: as far as that goes. He's got two injured knees.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: You would never know it. He goes out there and
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: just you know, puts his hard hat on and he
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: gives you some flair, playmaking ability, dunking on people. He's
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: a high flyer. Timberwolves are a fun watch, and I
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: like the supporting cast as well. Jade McDaniels competitive, NOAs
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: reed competitive.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: These dudes are dogs, So I like the Timberwolves.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Now, when you get to the Thunder and the Spurs,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: it's a legitimate question. Some people might look at me sideways,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: but are you entertained by watching them play? I'm entertained
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: by the Spur because Wemby is just an alien. He's
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: just something that you you don't see anywhere else, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: you haven't seen anywhere else. A guy his size, his
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: frame doing what he does.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: It's unprecedented.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I know there are some big dudes, some lanky dudes
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: that can shoot, that can handle the rock. They can't
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: do everything that Wemby does. It's something's lacking. They're either
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: not great at blocking shots, they're not great at shooting threes,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: they're not great at handling the rock. They're something something
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: is missing. We haven't seen anything like Wemby before, so
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: that is entertaining.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It's an attraction, and if the Spurs are on, it's like,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: oh okay, cool.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying I'm not entertained by the Thunder, but Sga,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: as much as I respect him, he's not one of
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the more entertaining players in the game. He is highly
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: effective at what he does. He's able to get to
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: the free throw line. He's able to score on anybody.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: He's so efficient. But he'll get to the mid range
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: and hit an elbow jumper and it's like okay. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: the supporting cast is really good and at times fun
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: to watch. But they're just great at playing hard nosed defense,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: creating turnovers, getting you know, live ball turnovers, converting them
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: into points. They're a very, very solid team, but they're
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: not just the most attractive team to watch entertainment wise.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I do think Thunder versus Spurs, if that's what we
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: get in the Western Conference Finals, you really got something there,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: because you might not be captivated by either style of play,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: but when they're going up against each other, I think
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be very competitive. I think it's gonna be
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: a lot of fun to watch. Spurs had the Thunder's
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: number in the regular season. We'll see if that carries
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: over to the postseason. If if, if that is the matchup, right,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: but I think that can be that could be compelling.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I just buy themselves.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Though, it's like, eh, all right, Okay, s's on TV tonight. Okay,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think you're running to your TV set like,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: oh man, I gotta see this. You might do that
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: if it's a big playoff game in the garden and
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: it's just electricity, you.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: So it's a legitimate question. Who are you most entertained
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: by of the playoff teams remaining?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Who's number one, who's number two? On your list?
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: If you want to, feel free to If you want
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: to weigh in, feel free to do so. Eight seven
• 18:26

• 22:53
  Speaker 3: we've got Coop. Let's get his uh officially.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Oh now it's a show.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Now, it's a show Coop with us here and a
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: lot going on. I'll get to your broncos here in
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: a second. They're in the news. First Monday night football
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: game announced against the Chiefs on the road. But more importantly,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be in Vegas pretty soon playing a fancy
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: poker tournament, Coop.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Can you give us a couple of details.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: This is not a huge ten thousand dollars buy in
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: but you could if you play your cards right and
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: you get a lucky break here, if you knock someone
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: out and you're in the money, you could get a
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: one million dollar bounty.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Can you break this down for us please?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: That's right. The World Series of Poker. The first event
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: this year, which is a new event for this for
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: this year, it is the Mini Mystery Millions. Now they've
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: had the Mystery Millions for several years now. That one
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: is a thousand dollars entry or maybe even fifteen hundred
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: dollars entry, and there's a guaranteed million dollars for first
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: place and a guaranteed million dollar bounty. I think last
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: year there were two million dollar bound but this year
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: is the Many Mystery Millions, only five hundred and fifty
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: dollars entry fee and there will be a guaranteed one
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: million dollar bounty.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: H Okay, so you have to be in the money.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: What would you guess? How many people do you think
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: will be in this tournament? Roughly it's a rough guess.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's hard to say. I'm gonna throw something
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: out there, like, I don't know, six seven thousand maybe.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, and how many Let's just say it's let's just.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Pick a ten thousand, maybe ten thousand.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's let's pick a round number ten thousand. How
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: what what place would you have to be in to
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: be in the money?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I will tell you exactly. I think I might have
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the uh, the structure sheet here.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's get down with this, love it structure sheet everything.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I think that's what Jayscoop is studying right now before
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: the anatomy exam is the structure seat sheet right there,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: you know. So it works for the anatomy exams, also
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: works for a poker tournaments as well.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's right, Oh wait, what is it it?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Actually I'm looking at it does not say it, but
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: usually it's like the top like ten percent or less. Wow.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we're looking at what a thousand, right, If
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: it's that's not ten percent? Wow, goodness, it is yeah percent? Yeah,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: so it'd be like the top one thousand roughly. If
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: it's ten thousand people in there, right right, and you're
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: in the money. So now, if it's ten thousand in
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: this tournament, you gotta wait until nine thousand freaking people
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: are knocked out.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Then you're in the money.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Then the bounty begins and anybody you knock out of
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: the tournament. From that point on, you get an envelope,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: and in that envelope it might say, congratulations, you just
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: want a million dollars. Yep, wow, that's awesome, man, that's cool.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I mean really, it's probably something like four hundred thousand
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: and after taxes and whatnot.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: It'd be funny if that's what the envelope actually said.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: You know, congratulations, you're a millionaire. And it's just scratched out, like, yeah,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: you want about four hundred k and some change.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: And you know, I'm so simple at this point, I
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: just want to play the ponies.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: The electronic ponies.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: They're so fun.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: They're so fun, aren't.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: They They're so fun. I always picked the wrong horse.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: But you know what, it doesn't.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Imagine if there was a mystery envelope with that, you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: you win a race, you pick the there are only
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: six horses.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: What if they call it the bag of carrots.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Whatever whatever works, get the carrots.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, imagine if you won that race, you know, and
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: you got the mystery envelope and you don't know how wow,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: how big your prize is that?
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: I hope I hope we win big this time.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: That would be awesome, That would be fantastic. I would
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: be elated if if that happened. But I do love
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: the electronic ponies. I forget what it's called. I should
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: have taken a picture. Man, it's almost not quite in
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: my head. I can almost see it, but I can't
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: come up with it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: So sorry.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: There's a name for it that I escapes me right now.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: But what does that escape me is that Loraina is
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: with us in the wee hours here. How are things, Lorena?
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: You went kickboxing right Tuesday and Thursday. You get after it,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: get your sweat on. You don't sweat that much? Not
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: a sweater.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I was actually sweating today. I got
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: really upset. I yelled at my coach. I was like,
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: why aren't the fans on? I was like, I hate sweating,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: and he's like, sweating is good for you, Lorena, and
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't want to hear that because I
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: just did my hair and I know that sounds ridiculous,
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: but like, I have to get ready before I leave
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: the house or else I look like a poofy like penguin.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: It's really bad. It's really bad.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: So I can totally, totally just see this whole scene
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: in my head right where you're there. You're there kickboxing,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: you're there to work out, you are there to sweat,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: you know, and you're yelling at your coach like I'm sweating.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: This is not good.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I just did my hair and he's just like, oh
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: my gosh, this girl.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: I don't understand it. Right. I can see this in
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: my head clear as day.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: He has a love hate relationship with me for sure
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: at this point.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: That's fantastic. So it went well, it was good, good
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: little sweat today.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, great sweat. I can still feel it in
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: my never mind.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, and you went and celebrated with some Popeyes,
• 28:25

• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I don't eat coleslaw. It's it's the devil's food. I
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: don't know if you know that or not.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: But I don't.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know that I like coleslaw. I eat KFC's

  Speaker 5: whenever I get KFC's.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: KFC has good.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: This is my first time having Popeye's Coleslaw, and I'm
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: almost positive there was a whole pickle in my coleslaw.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna look up the ingredients real fast just to
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: make sure, but I'm like ninety seven percent sure.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think pickles should be in there. I don't
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: think that's a thing. But I don't know it was
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: an accident or a new formula or something. I don't
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: know what's going on with that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Can I update you real quick, right, Yeah, I did
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit of research, so I just want to
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: update you on this on this tournament.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Here, okay, yeah, let's here.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: It is the It is the top fifteen percent that
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: make the money.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, good.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: So if it's ten thousand in there, we're looking at
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: fifteen hundred.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Well, so I was I was off on that. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: look it up and this is projected to be the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: largest live poker tournament field ever and they are expecting
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: over twenty two thousand entries.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, so let's let's keep it simple.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: If it's twenty thousand, then you're looking at three thousand people, right,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: you got to get in the you.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Got it, like seventeen thousand. Gotta gotta get knocked out.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: If you're one of the three thousand people, you're in
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: the money, and then you could be in the bounty range.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Right, that's right.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, you have to you have to make it the
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: day two to get in the bounties. Bounties begin on
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: day two. Standard payouts we'll start on day one, So
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: you have to you have to last twenty two levels,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: which are there, let's see, thirty minutes each.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know what tournament I did. You might remember, Coop, right,
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: you convinced me to do a tournament. It was one
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: of the World Series of Poker tournaments, not the main event,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: but one of the one of the tournaments. And I
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: can't remember exactly what happened. I was not doing well
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: and my goal was I was just like, I'm going
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: to start with small goals here. My goal is to
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: win a hand, and my goal is to make it
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: to like the next level. And I won one hand,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: and it was hilarious how it happened. It was me
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: and a lady and neither one of us had anything,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: and neither one of us.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Made a bet.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I had like maybe Ace high or I won.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I won the I'm like, yeah, in my head, I'm like,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: that's Carl. I won one. It was just a ridiculous
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: joke of a hand.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But those chips still feels great.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: It feels really good. But uh, yeah, I had a
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: quick exit in that tournament. Man. I got down pretty low,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: real fast, and I had to make a stand and
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: it didn't work out, even though it was close. But yeah,
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: I had a quick exit in that one. Hopefully, hopefully
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: you have a a long lasting tournament here with the
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: knockout thing.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: You got to be pretty fired up for that coop.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: It's funny too.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: You might you've been playing a lot of poker, so
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: you might not feel like this. But there are times
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: where when I'm playing a tournament like that and I'm like,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: I am so severely overmatched here, you know what I mean.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Like you're just sitting at the table and you're like,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: oh gosh, like this, I have not It's like playing
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: a pickup game of basketball and you're like, I played
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: basketball like ten years ago and these dudes are just
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: weekend Warriors playing poker all the time. You can feel
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: it immediately. If you have any experience, you know that
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: you're overmatched.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: That's how I felt at that tournament, Completely completely overmatched.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope you don't feel like we did that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: You know, but when we played a cash game. We
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: played a cash game at I think it was Aria right,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: yeah over there, and I'd feel overmatched at all. It's fine, right,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: But I don't know. Something different about tournaments. It's a
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: completely different dynamic.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: The vibe is different, the atmosphere is different.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: It is it's a lot more serious.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: So cheerleaders on the sideline is not a good idea
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: outfit to wear. Like I'm like, okay, do I wear
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: like a coop cheerleader outfit? Like what do I do?
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: What do I We'll go dressed as we'll wear like
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: the the suits from Dumb and Dumber.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: You know you wear them, but I want shoot or whatever. Yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Well, when they have the main event, you know, the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: big one that's like the World Championship. Uh, and they
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: get down to the final table, they have like hold
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: like cheering sections. Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's called their rail.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: All right, let's rail it. Let's go.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: I think it'd be a lot more fun if we
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: thought it was a rail situation.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: And it's totally not.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: It's just us.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: It's us.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: It should it should be even bigger this year at
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the main event because they're going back to the old
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: format where once it gets down to the final table
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: at the main event, they're waiting until all guests to
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: do it. So there's gonna be like a delay to
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: kind of build up hype and then they restart the
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: tournament like you know, and it's gonna it's gonna be
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: back on ESPN.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: So right, So what he's saying is we have time
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: to get our outfits together.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: B that's right.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Good, we have got We've got time to plan this thing,
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: you know. But I know it's back on ESPN coop.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Is it gonna be the old school coverage, how they
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: would cut it up, show the best hands and just
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: keep it moving, you know? Or are they doing this
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: live coverage and it's like crazy amounts of hours and
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: they're showing every single hand.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Do you know how they're gonna do it?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I'm not I'm not sure.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not easy. I know.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I just know that the poker world is hype that it's,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: you know, gonna be back on there. It's it's a
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: big deal. You know, it could be it could be big.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, could be really big.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I hope that they they do it like they're just
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: showing the best hands and they're showing basically highlights, like
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: long form highlights. But when you're watching this, you don't
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: you don't really know that there how much time is
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: in between these hands and it's just like action action action,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: because they pick some of the best hands, some of
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: the best turning points, and like when Moneymaker was doing it,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: that's what really started this whole fascination here. Yeah, really
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: kicked it into gear. But watching that tournament and I
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: love that. I would much rather have the money Maker broadcast, right, Coop,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: instead of Hey, we're just giving you raw thirty straight
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: hours of poker. And it's like, you realize how many
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: dud hands there are.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I already to see that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I watch. I just watched the whole thing. I just
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: have it on. I'll sit and watch it for hours.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: So will. There's at least a thousand people like Coop
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: see that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing right where when they're showing it
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: live live right, sometimes I don't even know if you
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: know the hold cards right.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Like okay, we'll see see that's like watching it in
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: person actually being on somebody's rail, like, you know, cheering
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: for them. That's difficult because you can't see the whole cards.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: So you're just like kind of like, oh, did he
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: win the hand? And you have to kind of wait
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: for like the reaction and they're like oh.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, I know you're gonna do it, man, Yeah,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: It's funny like because they can't they're not gonna show
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: it on some TV screen, you know, in the in
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: the auditorium or whatever it is, Like, right, what it's
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: gonna be like Houston Astros and trash Cans and he's
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: got big slick, like like two hits.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Being big Slick would be terrible.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: But even even when they live stream it, it's on
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: like a hour long delay.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Geez it must be on peacock.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: That's what's happening with the NBA playoffs, right, and the
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: lag time is insane, not good for sports betters, man, Like,
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: we gotta get this thing.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Work, especially now that you've got you know, I don't
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: know about Samsung, but I'm sure they do have something
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: like this. But like iPhone, all the my favorite teams
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: that pops up on my lock screen telling me like
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: the score else, and so that's kind of real time.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And then if you're watching it on Peacock, you're like,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. Oh yeah, you're like you're like five
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: baskets behind.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Oh it's so bad. It's really bad. They got to
