0:28
after a two -day free trial. Weird timing thing,
0:59
but that's okay first is on vacation for that
1:01
first week and then me and Sean were at Bonnaroo.
1:04
So But now I Don't I don't have any other vacations
1:08
for for the summer. So Every Thursday probably
1:12
maybe we'll see we're here and we're back. We're
1:16
here and we're back. That's all that matters
1:17
And a lot of shit has happened Like a lot a lot
1:23
of stuff has happened So we will certainly get
1:27
into that. The NHL and the NBA, obviously, the
1:30
season is over, but we will get to that here
1:33
momentarily. Let's say hi to the gents. Chris,
1:36
how have you been in the last two weeks? Been
1:40
well, yeah. It's been a weird couple of weeks.
1:43
Haven't seen the fellas. Yeah, a lot has happened.
1:46
Pretty much everything that was going on before
1:50
we went on our various travels. It's over now.
1:56
So yeah, a lot to catch up on. But yeah, good
1:58
to be back and just back with the homies. Always
2:02
good time. Sean, how you doing? Good. I'm still
2:05
incredibly tired from Bonnaroo. Getting too old
2:09
for this shit, as they say. But yes, it has been
2:16
too long since we've just gotten to talk ball.
2:19
So I am very much excited to talk ball. So, but
2:22
we got a lot to get into. Will, if you're doing
2:25
good, I say, let's just get into it. Yes, let's
2:28
rip it. I am also incredibly exhausted still,
2:32
but that's okay. Um, I will say, uh, obviously
2:37
the last week, me and Sean have really been locked
2:39
in on everything else that isn't sports. So I
2:42
will probably lean on you, Chris pretty heavily,
2:45
uh, at least for the past week. Um, But uh, but
2:49
first get this out of the way the the New York
2:52
Knicks are now NBA champions, which I Mean, I
2:56
guess we would have discussed this You know this
2:59
week anyway, regardless of if we were on vacation
3:03
or not What have you anyway? so that series was
3:10
a Kind of I don't want to say weird. It was awesome.
3:14
It was great Like I was listening to a podcast
3:20
earlier today and just trying to catch up to
3:24
everything that had happened since last week.
3:27
And apparently like after the Spurs lost, Wenby
3:29
was like, we dominated most of the series, which
3:33
is true. But I think there was like a secondary
3:37
language sort of barrier thing where he meant
3:41
to sort of clarify like, yeah, we dominated most
3:44
of the time. which they did, they were up most
3:48
of the time in those games. And then the Knicks
3:50
just came back and won. And so you forgot, I
3:53
think you forgot to mention, you know, Hey, we,
3:56
uh, you know, didn't, didn't close out. We're,
4:00
we're going to close and out these games, but
4:03
the other time we were great. And so Knicks went
4:06
five. Um, when that happened, I was obviously
4:11
in the middle of nowhere on a farm. So I couldn't
4:15
I couldn't see the The videos of New York burning
4:20
to the ground It's not burned to the ground.
4:22
It's still there But I don't I haven't I haven't
4:25
seen any any crazy Videos as of as of yet Chris
4:30
what what have you seen any of these crazy videos
4:33
or is it all? It's for I mean for New York standards.
4:39
I think it's normal. I mean, yeah, it's nonsense
4:42
They're going crazy in the streets, but nothing
4:45
Crazy, I was expecting. Yeah, like borderline
4:48
like riots like shit being set on fire That may
4:52
be happening. It just hasn't come across my desk.
4:54
I haven't seen any of that And you know what
4:56
good for New York? For not burning the oak did
5:00
Sean see something there. There was a bus that
5:03
caught on fire. Oh Yeah, I miss that that that
5:10
was really about it and I saw that there were
5:13
like 65 70 arrests, which is low for just for
5:21
the bus thing or for just you know, just like
5:24
overall. Oh, that's pretty good. How many people
5:26
get arrested on a normal weekend? I know that's
5:29
what I'm saying. There's 8 million people in
5:32
that city. Like yeah, I honestly that's pretty
5:35
tame. Yeah. I mean, I did not know that about
5:38
the bus. Uh, that's not as long as nobody died.
5:41
That's kind of funny. Um, I will say there is
5:45
still a parade. Did they already do it? Uh, I
5:50
don't think so. I thought I saw something that
5:53
they did it like just on Twitter. If they, if
5:55
they did it, I missed it. I think it was on like,
5:59
I mean, yeah, I can just Google it, but I thought
6:01
it was on like a Monday or something because
6:03
they weren't on. Saturday, Saturday, correct.
6:07
So Saturday, I think it looked like, I think
6:10
when I saw it, it was on a Monday and I was like,
6:12
this is a weird time to have a championship parade.
6:16
They're hosting their parade on a Thursday. Oh,
6:19
okay. I don't know what I saw them, but okay.
6:21
Good for them. Then. Yeah. Hopefully no buses
6:24
get set on fire then. It's only Tuesday. Yeah.
6:30
Going back to the Wimby thing. I mean, he is
6:34
Right. I saw a stat. They led 72 % of the series
6:40
and lost in five. That's got to be some sort
6:45
of stat. That has to be. I don't know how often
6:50
that's tracked. That's got to be some sort of
6:56
record. They led for all of game four, whenever
7:00
they choked. I want to have the biggest... blown
7:03
lead in playoff history. Um, they led up until
7:06
the last 1 .2 seconds. Like that, that game was
7:12
insane. That was just, they looked like they
7:18
had never played basketball with a lead before.
7:21
Like it was like, when you have a lead, especially
7:23
that big of a lead second half, you want to like
7:27
milk some clock. I know that's kind of hard to
7:29
do in the NBA because they only, they have a
7:31
shortened shot clock. But it's like, it was literally,
7:35
they won past possessions, chuck up a three,
7:38
don't get the rebound or they would get a rebound
7:41
and then just immediately put it back up. Don't
7:43
score. It's like you're burning five seconds
7:46
per possession and they weren't scoring. They
7:49
scored 70 points in the first half. Yeah. And
7:52
then like 36 in the second, it was just literally
7:58
like bullet points of like, how do you lose a
8:01
basketball game? They did everything they could
8:04
and they just refused to learn from their mistake.
8:08
It was literally, they missed eight threes in
8:10
a row at one point without on eight consecutive
8:13
shots, I believe. So it wasn't like they were,
8:17
they just couldn't hit threes, but they're working
8:19
it in size. Like, no, they only were shooting
8:22
threes and they missed every single one. It was,
8:24
it was inferior. I mean, I didn't really have
8:26
a dog in the fight, but just as a fan of like.
8:29
competition and athletics it was like what the
8:32
fuck are you doing it was awesome don't get me
8:36
wrong like new york new york was going bat shit
8:38
but it was infuriating to watch yeah it uh it's
8:47
it's weird because you you the take going around
8:53
online is like is this a choke because on Oh,
8:59
that game or the series? Like the series, I guess.
9:03
Oh, OK. OK. Because like because on one hand,
9:07
like you can anyone can choke away a game. But
9:12
like. I don't know, it's it feels like just because
9:16
the Spurs are so young that. I don't know if
9:21
I'd call it a choke, but I'd call it growing
9:24
pains, something something like that. And so
9:27
it's. It's weird because because like I mean
9:31
most of the time like a young team that makes
9:32
the finals like They don't win because that's
9:36
how it works you you make the fight you have
9:38
to lose first in order to win and like You know,
9:42
the the Knicks didn't go to the finals last year,
9:44
but they they made the conference finals, correct?
9:48
Yes They lost the Pacers. I just I think those
9:52
conference finals. Okay. Well either way the
9:56
Knicks like They've had players there for quite
9:59
some time. And they played a lot of ball. And
10:01
it's it's like they know what they needed to
10:04
do in order to move on. And so it's weird when
10:08
you're this young team, and you don't have a
10:10
lot of experience. And you end up losing, and
10:14
then it crushes you, you know, obviously. But
10:17
but that's why we watch that sports baby. And
10:20
honestly, I think it's good for like, the NBA
10:25
as a whole that this person win because not only
10:29
does your like most prominent franchise or one
10:31
of your most prominent franchises get their first
10:34
ring in 50 something years, but also like, there's
10:37
no like fun, like storyline and Victor Wimminyama
10:41
climbing the mountain at 22 years old being like,
10:44
okay, I'm going to win like 18 more defensive
10:48
player of the years. could win more championships
10:51
like no he needs some sort of adversity to like
10:55
conquer going forward and really just that team
10:58
as a whole and it was very much growing pains
10:59
for everyone including their coach so I think
11:03
they'll hopefully they'll be back I mean the
11:05
thunder are still going to be the thunder but
11:07
we'll see hopefully they'll be back going forward
11:10
and not the thunder yeah it's uh it's weird we
11:16
also didn't talk about the end of that uh that
11:19
Thunder Spurs series where Chet Holmgren like
11:22
forgot how to play basketball? Yeah um there
11:26
was something I saw uh literally the day after
11:29
we recorded our last um episode it was before
11:33
the end of the um the Western Conference Finals
11:36
as Mark Titus said this he's um in in the NBA
11:41
you have like your villains it was like the Warriors
11:45
with Kevin Durant the LeBron heat, it's like
11:48
those were villains, those were like the NBA
11:50
like Darth Vader. The Thunder are a villain,
11:55
more so in the way of Jar Jar Binks. It's like,
11:58
I don't really care if you win, if you lose,
12:01
get this shit off of my screen. That is an excellent
12:07
analogy. Yes. And it was literally the Wednesday
12:11
after we last recorded, I was like, shit. So
12:14
I've been sitting on that for a couple of weeks.
12:17
That's hilarious. Great take. I was like, God
12:20
damn it. That's perfect. Yeah, that's funny.
12:26
And it's weird just because like. Did OKC lose
12:30
in the playoffs at what? I mean, they lost in
12:32
like the first round. Two years ago, I think.
12:37
And then last year they won. So I feel like that
12:41
one might be an outlier to my previous statement,
12:44
but I could be very wrong That team though is
12:47
like, yeah, they're all very young but it's literally
12:49
just the most like a very well -rounded young
12:55
team is like they And they just play great defense
12:59
like they're definitely more well -rounded than
13:01
the Spurs and they have a much better coach in
13:02
my opinion But yeah, I was so excited when that
13:06
that game seven wasn't just perfect hate watch.
13:10
Because Shay was doing his whole flop and bullshit
13:13
and not getting a single whistle. And I was the
13:15
best. Oh, yeah. I remember what they had. He
13:18
didn't get a single, single whistle. Oh, man,
13:21
that was great. And then Chet. Yeah, I think
13:23
he had two shots all game, or all second half,
13:28
something like that. Didn't attempt a shot in
13:31
the fourth quarter. And he's supposed to be like
13:33
your second best player. Yikes. I love it, though.
13:40
I heard something that like Chet and Winby have
13:42
like beef. And I don't I don't know too much
13:46
about it, but I just heard it. Yeah, it goes
13:48
back to like the under 18 or under 17, whatever
13:53
it is, like international play like they hated
13:55
it. I think it started there. And then now they
13:59
play in the same division. I think that's correct.
14:03
They play each other frequently in the NBA. So
14:06
it's just ball, then they're both very lanky
14:11
big men. It's just funny to see them kind of
14:15
fight. And then they're just they look like the
14:17
most uncoordinated people when they're just swinging
14:20
their eight feet long arms. It's hilarious. The
14:26
wacky inflatable dancing arm men. I mean, honestly,
14:29
yeah, car dealership. I I'm stealing this take.
14:37
but I think like Chet needs to like hit the gym
14:41
in the summer just become super beefy which would
14:45
be really hard at seven feet because like that's
14:48
like a lot of food but like I think that's all
14:52
you all you can do because like he was getting
14:55
dominated like and then yeah for Wimby what's
14:59
the opposite of a of a of going to a monastery
15:03
remember he did that over the off season he like
15:07
went to a monastery and like hung out with like
15:11
some monks and stuff yeah and it was like yo
15:16
when they got to the finals it's like hey this
15:19
you might need to more people might need to do
15:21
this I saw something in the finals when they're
15:26
in New York. Someone took a picture of Wimby
15:29
in like Central Park, like on a bench. It looked
15:31
like he was journaling or something. It's like
15:34
this guy's crazy. I mean, that's good, brother.
15:38
Doing that, they're not partying every night,
15:40
but that's just crazy. It's definitely unique,
15:44
but I mean, he's fucking great. So I don't know.
15:51
The opposite of a monastery, maybe he's to switch
15:53
it up. What is that, like a fight club? What
15:56
is that? It could be a fight club. He was kind
16:00
of getting after it in the finals at least. He
16:03
was, he's playing a little dirty. I think people
16:06
were kind of, I would say hating on him because
16:08
it's like when you're that big, really just kind
16:11
of trying to do anything, you're going to look
16:13
like you're bullying guys. But I don't know.
16:15
I liked it. Him kind of emerging as like a, at
16:18
least for that series, like a pseudo villain.
16:21
It was fun. Maybe he needs to go to the monastery.
16:23
longer. Because it worked. It just didn't work
16:28
enough. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Silent
16:32
retreat. Yeah. A darkness retreat. Like Aaron
16:37
Rodgers. But but yeah. On on Saturday when the
16:45
Knicks won, they they had this like a little
16:47
like beer garden area at Bonnaroo with like sports
16:51
on a projector. It was pretty cool. That's cool.
16:55
Yeah, and so we watched we watched a couple FIFA
16:58
games and Drank up a really good beers Really
17:04
good beers So that was fun, but we weren't we
17:10
were planning to be there around the end of the
17:13
game But then we were at something that we could
17:17
not miss and looking back on it Yeah, we were
17:21
at the super jam which is hosted by Kesha. And
17:26
at the end of it, well, I didn't know if you
17:29
would just want to say you were on it. So, yeah,
17:32
we'll tell the people what they just tell the
17:34
people what they missed. Yeah. So we went to
17:36
the Kesha Super Jam, which was called the Esoterica
17:40
of Pop, which computer look up that word because
17:46
I'm not going to do it. But So I didn't really
17:50
know what that meant but apparently like they
17:52
just she had a bunch of uh People come on the
17:54
stage and do a bunch of covers of pop songs and
17:57
it was uh, it was really fun. Um, and then at
17:59
the end she was like Hey guys, we're playing
18:02
these pop songs all night. Um, we're still gonna
18:05
do that. But the next person i'm bringing up
18:10
Holy shit. I'm like shitting my pants over the
18:14
person that we're gonna bring on stage right
18:15
now Everyone put your hands together for weird
18:18
owl And a weird owl came out and played chandelier
18:22
by Sia He sang it and I was like, yeah This is
18:27
awesome And then someone in the crowd was like
18:31
the next one yeah Someone in the crowd did have
18:36
their phone like on and was like holding it up
18:41
to like kind of project and he walked by me and
18:43
I was just like what's the score what's the score
18:45
he was like the Spurs are up by 12 and I was
18:47
like ah and then by the end of it I was like
18:52
I heard that the Knicks won and I was like the
18:54
Knicks won they came back again I told Will like
19:01
after that because after that was Weird Al like
19:06
his regular show and we were just sitting there
19:09
and I was just like dude The fucking spurs could
19:12
go 82 and oh, if they could just hold on to elite.
19:17
Yeah. They had double -digit leads in every game
19:19
they lost. Oh, I think that there at least in
19:24
three, they might, it might've been every game,
19:26
but it was definitely at least three of the four.
19:29
That's terrible. Yeah. Yeah. And they, uh, I
19:36
mean, the game that they won. The Knicks only
19:40
lost by four. And so I didn't, I didn't see that
19:45
one. So I wasn't sure if the Knicks were like
19:48
making a push, make a big open and just couldn't
19:50
do it that game. But, um, but, uh, I think it
19:54
was like the Spurs. I don't know if they had
19:56
like double digitally, but they were leading
19:58
like semi comfortably for most of the second
20:00
half. And then yet it was a one point game at
20:03
like towards the end and the other Knicks. or
20:05
the Spurs won by like four, but yeah, it was
20:08
very close. So yeah, every game, at least, yeah,
20:12
pretty much every game was a, it was a butthole
20:14
clincher. Yeah. Hey, you know, that's kind of
20:17
what you want. It was awesome. I mean, I'd be
20:21
furious if I was a Spurs fan, but I'm not. So
20:23
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very entertaining.
20:26
Had a great time. I was also telling Will, like,
20:30
I don't think he, I don't think Spurs fans really
20:32
have anything to be Worried about, I know, I
20:35
know that losing sucks, but this team is so young
20:39
that they're going to be very good for a, a long
20:43
time where it's going to get annoying. Yeah.
20:47
So, yeah, there are definitely, this was very
20:50
much ahead of schedule than making it this far.
20:53
Um, it was just blowing all the leads. That's
20:56
gotta be infuriating. But yeah, if you just losing
20:59
like, you gotta be like, you know what? That
21:01
fucking sucked. but in a few days probably by
21:04
now they're like you know what we're gonna be
21:08
should be at least all right and shout out dan
21:13
housing his his uncursing worked it's not a he
21:20
he like they were down against atlanta two nothing
21:25
in the series he uncursed them and then they
21:30
they went 16 and three the whole postseason.
21:33
Yeah, they lost one game after that. And it was
21:37
in the finals. Hey, it's finals, baby. That's
21:41
bad. That's fucking crazy. Yeah. Anything else
21:47
on on the NBA and the association? I did see
21:51
Michael Bridges went on a drunken Instagram live.
21:55
and said a lot of things, but one of the funniest
21:58
ones was that the Knicks, I don't know if it
22:03
was like, if he was referring to him as just
22:06
himself or as a team, but I didn't have sex for
22:08
10 weeks to lock in for the playoff run. Oh,
22:15
that sounds like it would be very irritable.
22:17
So shout out the Knicks and all the sex they've
22:20
probably been having. Gotta get back on that
22:26
horse Damn that's wild Wonder where they heard
22:33
that one. I Don't know. Well, they're athletes.
22:35
They're on a different. They're on a different
22:37
wave like than us but anyway Another team that
22:43
went 16 and 3 in the postseason the Carolina
22:47
Hurricanes. Oh shit. They did. I don't really
22:48
think about that. Yes sweep sweep five games
22:54
six games that's cool yeah that is cool um i
22:59
gotta be honest i thought they were going to
23:02
lose that series after like game three um it
23:07
was uh and i was like i was thinking about dropping
23:11
some dough on mitch marner kahn smith because
23:15
at that point he had like 26 points in like 13
23:21
postseason games and I was something like that
23:24
and I was like, holy shit like This is this is
23:28
insane. This isn't I mean it wasn't like McDavid
23:31
winning the cons might than a losing effort amount
23:34
of points, but like holy shit like this guy this
23:38
guy can do anything and It turns out that after
23:43
after game four That Freddy Anderson the goalie
23:48
for the Hurricanes was injured and they made
23:52
the goalie switch and Yeah, that's that's all
23:58
they needed apparently one two games That's it
24:03
they got busied Brandon bussy Undrafted free
24:08
agent, correct? Yes, he hopped around a little
24:11
bit and then showed up when it mattered most
24:16
It's fucking incredible and uh Dude Like man,
24:25
it's crazy. I don't know. I did a little deep
24:27
dive on um the uh, the hurricanes gm and This
24:34
guy is like I Don't want to say the first analytics
24:38
guy in the nhl But I think he might have been
24:41
one of the first analytics guy in the nhl like
24:44
as a gm for it to like actually work. Like, this
24:48
guy like has a, like a chemical engineering degree,
24:54
and like, like a master's in physics or something.
24:57
And then he was like, my real passion is hockey,
25:00
though. And like, he ended up getting like a
25:02
office job somewhere at one of the teams and
25:05
just worked his way up and like, he's here. And
25:09
he like, he fucking did all these trades. And
25:13
like, They'd like what's that two years ago?
25:17
They traded for ranting in and then a week later
25:19
they traded him away because he wasn't gonna
25:21
resign there and in that trade they got The the
25:27
Hurricanes got ranting in Miko ranting in from
25:30
the avalanche and it was a three -way trade They
25:32
got Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks who
25:35
was getting like like healthy scratched for like
25:40
the worst team in the league and and like Taylor
25:44
Hall's been in the league for like 16 years.
25:45
So he's been around the block and like He was
25:50
one of the best performers in these playoffs
25:53
I think in the past ever since they got him and
25:56
so it's like the Chicago Black is just a shitbag
25:59
organization But we already know that And then
26:03
after and then when they traded ran into the
26:06
stars they got a bunch of picks and fucking stank
26:13
Kovan and then they used the picks to get Keandre
26:17
Miller and And one other guy whose name escapes
26:21
me but they got like essentially Let's see they
26:29
traded away to pretty good players and a pick
26:32
for ranting and and then turned ranting in into
26:35
four players for great roster players It's like
26:41
it's this fucking GM. He's like an analytics
26:43
fucking genie and so like The numbers the numbers
26:50
are the way It's like a moneyball situation.
26:54
I believe so nice so yeah, I you know, I don't
26:59
know that you know the the statistics behind
27:03
these these analytics, but You know, it's not
27:08
like money ball where it's like RBI's Yeah, it
27:11
was like a long base. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,
27:14
and it was like, okay that this is very simple.
27:18
Um, but like This fucking guy like crazy crazy
27:23
story crazy brain good for them and uh Man, it
27:29
was really close there that I thought that torch
27:32
was just gonna yank one from all of us Just just
27:36
come in swoop in And, uh, and take the cake and
27:41
then fire him at the end of next year. Probably.
27:47
I told, uh, we probably talked about it on here
27:49
too, but yeah, after game two, I told Josh, I
27:54
was like, they're going to win the Stanley cup.
27:56
And then it would be objectively hilarious. If,
28:00
um, if you were just like, nah, I'm done. I'm
28:05
gonna. just retire or resign. Yeah, they kind
28:12
of did that. He's not coming back. I don't know
28:17
if you saw. Oh, he's not. I did not see that.
28:19
No. Oh, why? Why? The thing that about the NHL
28:27
is they don't have to give a reason for anything.
28:31
There is no transparency in the NHL whatsoever.
28:35
It's like just just like from a injury standpoint,
28:40
you know, you always get the lower body or upper
28:43
body and it's like that could be anything but
28:46
like in the NFL it's like Hey this dude Tore
28:52
his MCL ACL and PCL all in one play you get that
28:58
kind of transparency, but Yeah, it's just there's
29:03
just it mutual parting of ways is what I was
29:06
what I saw Yeah, I didn't see that. Well, I did
29:10
not that I don't want Vegas to have a good coach.
29:13
So Is he a good coach though, I mean I think
29:18
he's fine like What he did with them is incredibly
29:24
impressive I'm not trying to take away from that
29:26
but just kind of like I know he won a cup Whatever
29:30
year that was 20 years ago. Probably done much
29:33
of no sense until this. That is bananas, though,
29:37
that they're not bringing them back. I just read
29:40
an article while you were talking, Chyne said,
29:43
it's like, yeah, his contract was only through
29:45
the 30th of this month. They could have extended
29:50
him. I know. He really is the Nick Sirianni of
29:56
the NHL. Yeah. I think Torch is objectively a
30:02
really good coach. I think he's, I'm not trying
30:06
to take away from like his knowledge of the game
30:08
or anything. I think just part of it though is
30:11
he is an asshole and that comes into play when
30:16
it's like you pretty much only have like a three
30:18
year shelf life at these places before people
30:20
get tired of you or in some, in this case, three
30:24
months. Nine weeks. Yeah. I mean he's taken a
30:32
lot of teams to be really good and then I Mean
30:36
honestly, it's kind of like that in the NHL most
30:39
of the time yeah where a coach is good for like
30:42
three years and then his his voice starts to
30:46
sour in the locker room and You know it It is
30:51
kind of a regular. I mean the same thing with
30:53
la violette like Wouldn't you say that la violette
30:55
is objectively a great coach? Yeah Yeah, been
30:59
to three cup fun. Yeah, three cup finals, three
31:02
cup finals, three different teams. He's a good
31:05
coach. Yeah, I guess towards state is me two
31:08
cup finals, two different teams. So yeah. At
31:12
least he might have another one in there, too.
31:15
He might have he might have been the head coach
31:19
of the Rangers when they went to the final. I
31:21
couldn't remember if that was him because it
31:24
was a long time ago. Was he still the head coach
31:26
of the jackets when they swept the lightning
31:29
the year they were like unstoppable? Yes. Yes.
31:33
He's a good coach. Yes. I'm not saying he's a
31:37
bad coach and just in terms of, I don't know
31:38
if he's like, but he, I now you break it down.
31:42
Yeah. I would say he's upper five, the upper
31:46
echelon, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. But still nobody
31:49
wants to hire him because he's still kind of
31:51
like a a cancer in like the regular season, but
31:55
he'll he'll fucking get you to the end. Well,
31:58
maybe that's what they just teams need to do
32:00
now. Like if you're in a position like Vegas,
32:02
where you're kind of teetering on. Like, and
32:06
I'm going to say teetering, but like kind of
32:08
a couple of games back from the playoff hunt,
32:10
just fucking bring them in mercenary. Whip them
32:14
into shape like be you. for nine weeks and we'll
32:18
get there after that you're done but okay seems
32:23
fair i mean he's i'd take that job that's incredible
32:27
yeah um but yeah and it's like i mean vegas like
32:33
they're gonna be i mean they they might they
32:35
might show up again there next year i was gonna
32:37
say if you tell me they made like next year if
32:39
they make the cup final i wouldn't be surprised
32:41
i'll be pissed but i won't be surprised i'll
32:43
be very sad but i'll be surprised when i want
32:46
them to be terrible yes oh oh yes i want it yes
32:50
i want them to be very bad it won't happen but
32:53
i want them to be very bad yeah i mean they've
32:56
they've missed the playoffs once in their whole
32:59
franchise's existence wasn't that when everyone
33:02
was hurt too i believe everyone was hurt yeah
33:05
so which is i mean fair oh yeah 100 by percent
33:11
like That's the only reason they've missed the
33:13
playoffs. Essentially the only reason in nine
33:16
years. It's because like half of their good players
33:19
were hurt or on like long -term IR, I believe.
33:24
Yeah. Chris, did you see the video of Rod going
33:28
tarps off in the locker room? I did. I'm so happy.
33:32
Will showed me that and I was like, damn. That
33:35
guy's fucking shredded. Yeah. Dude, rod the bar.
33:42
He's still shredded though. Like, yeah, he hasn't
33:46
played in a long time. He works out with the
33:50
guys. He's probably in better shape than most
33:53
of those guys. From a physical build standpoint,
33:57
not like stamina or anything, but hell, maybe
34:00
even stamina. I don't know. So. I actually had
34:06
this recollection like last week and then like
34:09
we decided not to record because of various going
34:14
ons. I think that the Carolina hurricanes are
34:21
what the Nashville predators want to be. Oh being
34:26
like a small market team bringing in a legend
34:30
like. Legend to the franchise I'm not saying
34:34
that like Andrew Burnett is a legend because
34:37
he's But he was a part of history. Mm -hmm. I
34:42
guess our history a part of our history But like
34:47
they just want to be the hurricane so bad And
34:54
I think there's a lot there's a lot more similarities
34:56
that I had last week that I can't think of right
34:59
now, but if you if you like really think about
35:02
it you're like they are like they are the Nashville
35:07
Predators just with two Stanley Cups. Yeah I
35:13
mean now that I think about it yeah I see where
35:16
you're coming from if I think about it just off
35:20
the top of my dome so first off uh well for a
35:25
long time I don't know too much about right now
35:28
but for a long time we were a very defensively
35:29
minded team Um, it felt like for a while. Well,
35:33
it still does feel like we can't really draft
35:35
a forward. Um, but we can draft a defenseman
35:38
better than anyone else. Um, and so it feels
35:41
like for more defense first, which I feel like
35:46
now that's what the Carolina hurricanes are.
35:49
It's, it's very like strict on defensive positioning
35:54
and you know, shit like that. Uh, they definitely
35:58
have forwards though, and we don't, um, Well,
36:01
we have a couple but anyway, uh, we had Peter
36:04
lobby let as a head coach There's a similarity
36:08
Yeah right now that's uh, that's kind of all
36:12
I can think of in the past however Well, if we're
36:17
moving off of the the cup final at this point
36:20
We can talk about the National Predators new
36:23
GM Chris McFarlane Okay about that Chris did
36:28
not hear about this news to me Really? Yeah So
36:34
we we essentially stole the Colorado Avalanche
36:38
GM Because I think we paid him more money and
36:43
we also made him president of hockey operations
36:46
and so bigger title more money Same reason why
36:51
you leave any job. So That uh, that's uh, that's
36:56
how we got him I did a little deep dive on him
37:00
as well he is also a an analytics guy and He
37:06
wants to hire like three or four more people
37:08
to join his analytics team whatever that means
37:12
but To go to to go back to Sean's take about
37:18
the Carolina her the predators wanting to be
37:20
the Hurricanes This also ties into that but this
37:23
is more route more more recent. I would say which
37:27
I'm not sure if you knew about that, Sean, like
37:31
his whole deal. What do you mean his deal? Like
37:38
his whole deal is analytics. Yeah. Did you know
37:43
that? A little bit, yeah. Okay. Well, I also
37:47
don't know if you guys saw this, but the Nashville
37:49
Predators have made a trade today. I did see
37:52
this. I saw that right before we hopped on, yeah.
37:57
We traded a goalie prospect and two third rounders,
38:00
I think two conditional third rounders. I don't
38:03
know what the conditions are. It was like a goalie
38:09
prospect swap and we got Ross Colton, which is
38:15
awesome. We got it from Colorado, so obviously
38:20
this GM fucking loves this guy, which means he's
38:24
really good analytically. But if you think about
38:26
it, Ross Colton was on I believe he was on the
38:29
last Tampa Bay team to win the Stanley Cup. And
38:35
he might have been on the Colorado Avalanche
38:36
team to win the Stanley Cup. I'm not totally
38:39
sure about that one, but could be. Anyway, he
38:43
was he was on the lightning for his first three
38:47
years, and then Colorado for the last three years.
38:54
So I think that's I think that's correct. It
38:58
sounds like it sounds like he won back to back
38:59
cups Yes, it does sound like that good for him
39:04
So he's a winner and we need more winners because
39:08
we are losers So I'm stoked on this trade means
39:17
Eric Holla is a free agent so whatever I Mean
39:25
we got we got we got a bunch of young players
39:27
In the system and so we're gonna need roster
39:29
spots anyway Even though essentially we let one
39:34
go and we got one. So it's kind of a wash I guess
39:38
I should have said that it's not really applicable.
39:39
Anyway So yeah Things are things are starting
39:45
to happen like right after the cup final. So
39:47
that's cool. Um What is the NHL draft? Computer
39:52
look that up Did you see what McFarland left
40:00
Colorado with, like, as far as their, like, draft
40:06
picks go? No, I did not. Oh, I mean, they had,
40:11
like, nothing. They have absolutely nothing.
40:15
It's June 26th and 27th, so. Next week, I guess,
40:22
or week after, we'll talk about the draft. after
40:26
all it's going is on. Yeah, next week, I'll talk
40:31
about maybe who we should draft. If I remember
40:34
to do research. And then the week after, we'll
40:37
talk about what happened. But yeah, we'll come
40:39
we'll complain about it. Well, we could not with
40:43
this new guy. Yeah, we could not. That's absolutely
40:46
true. But the Colorado Avalanche do not have
40:50
a first round pick for the next three years.
40:54
They do not have a second or third round pick
40:57
for the next three years. They do not have a
40:59
third round pick for the next three years. Well,
41:03
they got one now. Well, they got theirs back
41:06
from us. Oh yeah, they did get theirs back. They
41:10
got theirs back. But that's 2027. Oh, it was?
41:18
And I think they got our third round pick this
41:21
year, but we still have another third round pick
41:23
from Seattle. So. How did we get that? I don't
41:29
remember. Oh. Could have been from one of those
41:35
trades we made this year at the deadline to anywhere
41:38
our our depth players. I think Colorado lose
41:42
all these first round picks. Well, they traded
41:45
them away and like, well, I know that, but like.
41:47
who, who, like, who do they get for these guys?
41:50
Cause I mean, I don't know a lot about Colorado,
41:53
but like, I feel like all like they're guys who
41:56
are like superstars they've had for a little
41:59
bit at least. And like kind of brought them up
42:02
like themselves. So I was trying to think which
42:07
guys they traded all these first round picks
42:09
for. Kadri, they brought him back. Um, so your
42:21
first round pick though, like he's worth a, he's
42:26
worth a first round pick. Yeah. He's a third
42:29
line center, you know? Well, I mean, when you're
42:34
a, when you're a cup team, you gotta, you know,
42:37
you kind of got to shell out all you can to try
42:40
and get a complete roster. Um, let me. Let me
42:45
try and find the cholera avalanche roster and
42:49
I can just look at the fucking Shit alright,
42:54
well while you do that I think Joe Sackett might
42:57
be in like hell though like he's got like no
43:00
cap space to work with He's got he's got like
43:04
five in a quarter mil of cap space Meanwhile
43:08
the Preds got like 34 mil to work with plus all
43:13
these draft picks that they have. I mean, here,
43:16
I'll, I'll share this with you because this kind
43:22
of put things in perspective for me about like
43:24
where we are. It's just like, we're only really
43:30
paying like four guys and they're paying like
43:34
12. Yeah. I mean, and we we've just got so much
43:42
potential. With who we can get, I guess. And
43:48
I think I said this like a few weeks ago, it
43:51
might've been like the last time we recorded.
43:53
It was like, we've got all these draft picks,
43:55
like trade them away. Like do something with
43:58
them, like get something valuable in return.
44:04
But how long was this McFarland guy? Was he in
44:07
Colorado? So I think he was there for a while.
44:10
Okay. I didn't know if he was part of the. Cup
44:14
like the cup went so he was assistant GM when
44:21
they were the worst team in the league and Joe
44:26
Sackett was was the GM and now he's back to being
44:29
the GM but when they won the cup like he was
44:34
obviously like an integral part of Completing
44:37
that team, but Joe Sackett was still the GM obviously
44:40
making making the calls but still he's assistant
44:42
GM. I mean, like, you know, he's got to put in
44:45
his two cents. But then after they won the cup,
44:48
Joe Sackett became the president of hockey operations
44:51
and he became the GM. And so he's still like
44:58
this past season, like the Colorado Avalanche
45:00
were the best team in the league. And like, it
45:03
kind of wasn't close. And so like he was an integral
45:08
part of like drafting Some of these are like
45:11
a bunch of these players and also like having
45:14
a say in some of the trades Okay, so they did
45:19
end up They traded a first round pick for for
45:26
Kadri in 2028 And so in a conditional 2027 second
45:33
round pick this year with that as well and so
45:38
they did end up trading a a first -rounder for
45:41
for fucking Nazim Kadri and now Google AI is
45:47
not just giving me the All the the picks there
45:52
So that was the most recent first -round pick
45:55
they have traded um, let's see, but I mean They
46:02
probably Hmm I know they signed a bunch of guys
46:07
in free agency Um, let's see. Oh, Jesus Christ.
46:14
This does not help. You know what? I am not going
46:17
to look this up anymore. Um, but, but yeah, they've,
46:23
uh, they've traded it all away. Like I remember.
46:27
I believe we talked about it. Like when the avalanche
46:30
won the Stanley cup, like I said, I remember
46:32
saying, I was like, They they have a seventh
46:35
they the only pick they have for this year's
46:37
draft is a seventh and the only pick they have
46:40
for next year's draft is like a fifth and a seventh
46:44
like they They traded all their shit away and
46:49
it worked They want a Stanley Cup So it's all
46:53
worth it in the end but right now They don't
46:58
really have a lot to work with so I don't know
47:01
what they're gonna do And like they're in cap
47:04
hell Yes, but at the same time Like they're paying
47:11
Nathan McKinnon. They're paying Cale mccarr.
47:14
They're paying Landis gog and some others probably
47:19
but it's like Nathan McKinnon is one of the best
47:21
players in the league Cale mccarr is the best
47:23
defenseman in the league like Shit happens, you
47:27
know, what are you gonna do? Good problem to
47:31
have. Yeah, yeah. Cap Helmet because all of our
47:34
players are so fucking good. Yeah, and the cap
47:38
is going up. I don't know if you if you guys
47:39
knew that. I think it's going up like you know
47:42
that. It's like kind of a well, you know, it's
47:46
got damn. I did see before we started recording
47:50
that this was like the most watched Stanley Cup
47:53
final. Which I feel like happens every year,
47:56
but. That's interesting. It's like you get more
48:02
viewers you get more money like this just how
48:04
it how it works so So Get your TV rights WNBA
48:13
and then you'll get more Yeah, I also feel like
48:20
every year they say that it's the most watched
48:23
Stanley Cup final which I mean You want that
48:27
to happen, obviously, when you're looking at
48:29
it, you know, from a league perspective. But
48:32
I think especially the the Olympics this year
48:37
did a lot for that. I think I know a couple of
48:42
people that were like that, like, watched the
48:44
Olympic hockey and they were like, this shit
48:47
like happens like every day. And I'm like, yeah,
48:51
it's awesome. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, it's not that
48:56
intense but yes that way this is a sport right
49:00
and so it's uh, I think the Olympics definitely
49:05
helped and like last year the the four -nation
49:11
face -off like that definitely helped because
49:13
I mean that was during a time when That was the
49:17
NBA All -Star break and so nobody was fucking
49:19
watching that And how are they what else are
49:23
they gonna do? Let's throw a four nation face
49:26
off. Holy fucking shit. So this four nation face
49:31
off, whatever the hell that is, these guys are
49:33
murdering each other. This game doesn't even
49:37
matter. Yeah. For nothing. Yeah. That is how
49:41
I kind of feel about the world cup right now.
49:43
I know the world cup is a very big deal for a
49:47
lot of nations and a lot of people. Um, but.
49:53
This World Cup's kind of been awesome. Like,
49:55
so far. We're like in the first week of it. Yeah,
50:00
it's kicked ass. Yeah. I haven't watched too
50:04
much of it. So I can't really speak too much
50:07
on it except for like the little bit we watched
50:08
at the beer garden at Bonnaroo. But that was
50:12
electric when Canada scored. Because I guess
50:16
I assume Canadians go to Bonnaroo, you know?
50:19
Bonnaroo, Sherwood. There sure were. Lot of cheers
50:23
for when Canada scored, but yeah, we left before
50:26
they lost. So oh they lost I didn't know that
50:29
they lost them lost to Bosnia You ever been in
50:35
this shit Should the Bosnia Sun My dad was I'm
50:45
gonna stop the quote there. Yeah, it's probably
50:46
good But I have enjoyed everything about FIFA
50:57
around the games which are the foreigners coming
51:01
in and and learning American culture like I saw
51:06
this video on tik -tok yesterday of This like
51:11
news crew I think was interviewing these These
51:19
Japanese people because I think Japan was playing
51:22
in Houston and they're in or Dallas and They
51:27
were like hard afford here. So the food here
51:29
is so good Okay All right, I will keep that in
51:39
because it is funny This it was funny. I did
51:52
see that video too. He's like I don't know English
51:57
Very well, but I am excited Yes, yeah, I went
52:03
to Terry blacks good good very good like I was
52:10
telling will honor that like Part of me does
52:14
feel kind of bad because like a lot of you know
52:18
the games are being played in America and especially
52:21
in like Dallas it's like it's it's advertised
52:27
as Dallas but they're playing in Arlington which
52:31
is 45 minutes away from Dallas and there is no
52:36
public transportation like there is literally
52:39
no way to get out there other than to drive yourself
52:42
and just like And when you're like, you know,
52:47
you're, you're not from here and you just like
52:50
book a hotel, you book it in Dallas somewhere,
52:54
I assume. So they're just like, pull up Google
52:58
maps, like the day of, and they're just like,
53:01
shit, it's going to take us like an hour to get
53:04
out there. Like, what the hell? And then like,
53:09
you know, they have games in New York, it's in
53:12
New Jersey and MetLife. And so No one's gonna
53:17
book a hotel in New York Well, no, they are gonna
53:21
book a hotel in New York, but you know depending
53:24
on where you're at in New York Might be might
53:27
be what they have public transit. That's very
53:29
very good system over there So they know how
53:32
to ride trains. So yeah, okay, you can get you
53:36
can get to MetLife very easily from the city
53:40
And that one, they are like that one in particular,
53:42
they are advertising as like New York slash New
53:45
Jersey. So it's like, yeah, they don't put any
53:49
of the names of the stadiums and like the broadcast
53:52
or whatever, because it's all like sponsors of
53:55
companies that FIFA doesn't have deals with.
53:58
So it's like, we're here at like when I was watching
54:00
the Norway game before we started, it was like,
54:04
we're here in, or no, it's France. It's like,
54:06
we're here in New York, New Jersey stadium. And
54:08
I was like, that's. Weird but okay Whatever man
54:15
But yeah and then like There's a bunch of athletes
54:21
that are like visiting America for the first
54:24
time and they're like tweeting out their whole
54:26
Their whole experience and it's very entertaining.
54:30
I Don't know if this was real or not. I could
54:32
have very easily gotten got I think I saw a video
54:35
of like the Sweden team which is Sweden even
54:38
here or mind I have some European like Eastern
54:41
European team. I forget where they were. I think
54:44
they're in Mexico or something. And they were
54:47
out like clubbing and like some like wherever
54:51
that it was a Hispanic looked like Hispanic populace
54:54
around them. And they were just like dance with
54:56
all these women and stuff. I was like, Holy shit.
54:59
I was like, I don't know if I'd be sharing this
55:01
if I was them. Also, that could have just been
55:03
fake. But I don't know. But It also could have
55:07
just been very well San Diego. Oh, that's why
55:10
I was like, it could have been, it could have
55:13
been Fort Worth. It could have been anywhere,
55:15
but there Kevin Houston. But yeah, when it was,
55:18
I saw that I was, I don't know if I'd be sharing
55:20
this, but I, I think soccer players are about
55:25
that clout. They are about just like, let's go
55:29
to the club. I don't care. I've got a game tomorrow.
55:32
Like, and they will still run. 13 miles, like
55:38
in a single it probably even more than that,
55:42
in a single match. I believe what a soccer game
55:49
is called as a match, but on the pitch on the
55:52
pitch. I mean, they have unlimited money. I mean,
55:55
they're the highest paid athletes in the world.
55:57
Yeah. Most of them. I saw one of these I forget,
56:05
I don't know where she's from, but she ate at
56:08
like a golden corral, I think she's British,
56:11
and was like, ate at a golden corral, and was
56:14
like, oh my God, American food is so good. And
56:16
we were like, how terrible is the food in England?
56:21
A fucking golden corral is blowing your, like
56:24
that's our slop. And that's blowing your mind.
56:30
They have terrible food in England. They don't
56:33
have seasoning on anything. They don't season
56:36
their food. They boil everything. Someone is
56:40
some English guy tweeted a picture of some, it
56:43
was literally just like, is ham like raw onion
56:48
and cheese and something like that. And got some
56:52
British guy was like, Oh, you tell me this doesn't
56:53
look good or wherever the fuck. And some American
56:56
guy was like, it is, it has potential because
56:59
it toasts the bread and melt the cheese, caramelize
57:01
the onions. It's, it's going to be fantastic.
57:03
And the European guy responded as if it like
57:08
caramelizing onions was literally putting caramel
57:11
caramel or caramel, however you pronounce it
57:13
in. Because he was like, he was like, oh, these
57:17
Americans always adding sweet and starchy things
57:19
unnecessarily. And the guy was like, that's not
57:22
what that means. Just cooking it. Yeah. So I
57:27
was like, this fucking country. This fucking.
57:33
people from The goddamn UK will just boil a pot
57:36
of water and just throw anything in it and they're
57:38
like it's cooked It's disgusting. Yeah It's it's
57:44
very funny and then that German guy Freddy is
57:48
probably gonna like why would he ever leave at
57:51
this point? He's going to get like a lifetime
57:55
sponsorship by like Bucky's or something because
57:58
mm -hmm If Europe gets a Bucky's, he will be
58:02
the sole reason, which I don't, I don't know
58:05
that probably won't happen, but it'd be hilarious.
58:09
There's always that joke that it's like the European
58:11
mind cannot comprehend the Bucky's and he, he
58:15
proved that he, he couldn't come. He was, he,
58:19
he was so dumbfounded by like the whole idea
58:23
of it that when he walked in, he was almost lost.
58:27
I mean, as an American, the first time I went
58:31
into Bucky's, I was like, what the fuck is this
58:33
place, dude? Is this a Walmart? Is this a gas
58:37
station? What is this place? Is this a restaurant?
58:40
What is this? Is this going to be beef jerky?
58:45
Yes. Yes. Yes. Do you have mufflers? Yeah. Of
58:52
course. Do you have pajama pants? Yeah. Yeah.
58:55
Oh, going out to the lake. Forgot a pair of trunks.
58:58
Here you go. Here's seven. Oh, what fun. The
59:07
soccer's been good too. I can't speak to it.
59:12
So yesterday, I mean, it was a zero zero draw,
59:16
but Spain, who is like the one of the favorites.
59:21
Yeah. Yeah. The favorite to win the whole thing
59:23
was zero zero draw with. Cape Verde, I think.
59:28
What's that? What the country's name? Uh, the
59:29
smallest country to ever, like, participate in
59:33
the World Cup. Or third smallest, I think it
59:35
was. It's like their debut. Yeah. In the World
59:37
Cup, too. Yeah. Their goalie plays for, is 40
59:41
years old. He plays in the Portuguese B League.
59:45
And he shut out Spain. He made seven saves, I
59:49
think. They fucking drawed Spain. That's like
59:53
us. Getting a draw against England the last last
59:56
World Cup. That was great. That was fantastic.
1:00:01
Yeah. Fucking draw their ass. They were so mad.
1:00:06
I saw a bunch of like people on Twitter trying
1:00:09
to get like engagement like who explained this
1:00:11
in like, blah, blah, blah terms. I saw one is
1:00:14
like college football is like, this is like if
1:00:16
Alabama went to overtime against some like D
1:00:20
three school. I was like, yeah, honestly, that's
1:00:24
pretty accurate. Yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
1:00:30
That's been fun. America won their first game.
1:00:34
Yeah. Beat the shit out of Paraguay. Yeah, it
1:00:40
was 3 -0 at halftime. Played until Friday or
1:00:47
like, yeah, Friday, you know, full week in between
1:00:49
these things, which I get like, Every game is
1:00:52
standalone. So it takes a long time to play this
1:00:54
thing, but I was like, damn. I'll play again
1:00:57
in like two days. This thing's going to be going
1:01:00
on like all summer long. Like it's, it's going
1:01:04
to be until like the end of August by the time
1:01:07
this thing gets done. I think it's halfway through
1:01:10
July, July 19th. Uh, they said that on one of
1:01:13
the broadcasts today. Sorry. Okay. Yeah. And
1:01:17
I think the amount of time between each game
1:01:20
is just because like, It's it's not like you
1:01:24
know, all the games are one place if they're
1:01:28
They're they're everywhere and like, you know,
1:01:31
you play in New York one week, and then you play
1:01:33
in LA the next it's like that's That's a six.
1:01:36
That's a five or six hour flight. I think Yeah,
1:01:40
and then one of our buddies in the group chat
1:01:42
said is like it's pretty I think of like the
1:01:45
NCAA tournament every game was standalone It
1:01:48
would take a long a time. It's like a okay that
1:01:50
makes sense But then, yeah, I don't know if it's
1:01:52
always been this long. I didn't really pay that
1:01:55
much attention to the intricacies of the feet
1:01:58
of the world cup. But yeah, I traveled with us
1:02:00
because yeah, we played in LA on whatever day
1:02:03
and then we play in Seattle next, which I know
1:02:05
that's not like terribly far, but that's still.
1:02:09
You hop on like a decent flight. Yeah. I mean
1:02:12
that, I can't imagine that's like more than two
1:02:14
hours or, or less or more than something like
1:02:19
that. Yeah. But, Hey, that's soccer ball. So
1:02:30
we're not, that's the only thing on up. I'll
1:02:32
probably, probably kick that on Argentina's plan
1:02:36
right now. You're doing pretty well. By the way.
1:02:42
Yeah. The, the group chat's been blowing up about,
1:02:45
um, winners. So I've been, I've been itching
1:02:51
a little bit. Yesterday, Monday was very bad
1:02:53
because every game ended in a draw. So I, the
1:02:59
only, I cashed one bet and it was at both teams
1:03:01
to score. So, but yeah, everyone, everyone was
1:03:06
a low scoring draw too, other than I think I
1:03:11
ran in New Zealand was two, two draw. Everything
1:03:14
else was like one, one or zero, zero. I believe.
1:03:20
But today's been very fun. France beat the hell
1:03:24
out of Senegal in the second half, at least,
1:03:26
and then Norway just beat Iraq. So are you are
1:03:30
you doing any research or are you just flying
1:03:31
by the seat of your pants? A little bit of both.
1:03:36
It also helps that we've got some or at least
1:03:40
we have one like really knowledgeable footy guy.
1:03:45
Yeah, there's been if I don't know what the.
1:03:52
If I don't know what to pick, yeah, I'll follow.
1:03:54
Shout out Jamie. I'll just bet what he's got.
1:03:57
And then the other, a couple other guys who I've
1:03:59
found on X who are knowledgeable, at least appear
1:04:04
to be knowledgeable soccer guys. So I'll kind
1:04:06
of tail off them too, but yeah, I'll also do
1:04:09
research. And then kind of little mix of both
1:04:12
research, fun by the seat of my pants. It does
1:04:16
help Jamie and our group chat. nose footy. So
1:04:19
if I don't know what to take on a game, I'm just
1:04:21
like, Yeah, sure. He knows what he's doing. And
1:04:23
it's kind of worked out so far. So um, yeah,
1:04:28
she's gonna keep keep on rocking until the wheels
1:04:30
fall off, I guess. Also fan Fandel has had like,
1:04:33
they've kind of cooled off lately. But in the
1:04:35
first few days, I had a billion like bonuses
1:04:37
for every game. So that was pretty nice. Shout
1:04:40
out the not a sponsor, but shout out and helping
1:04:44
been helping the bank account. I should, uh,
1:04:49
look at my books. See what, uh, see if I got
1:04:52
any offers or something. They still have been
1:04:54
doing like these like 50 % boosts every day,
1:04:57
but then there was one for, for like the first
1:04:59
three days they did like bet something on a game
1:05:04
and you get a bonus bet for every goal scored.
1:05:08
So then I bet something, I think it was like
1:05:10
Germany team total or something on Germany and
1:05:13
they want seven to one. So we got, um, What is
1:05:18
five dollars five times eight? $40 worth of bonus
1:05:22
bets from that one game alone. That's pretty
1:05:24
cool. Yeah. Yeah. Jamie's been a footy nut for
1:05:35
as long as I've known him. So listen to what
1:05:39
he has to say. I'll take some of his, um, like
1:05:42
EPL bets to whenever he drops them and I like,
1:05:45
Not got nothing going on on early Saturday morning.
1:05:49
Yeah. Oh, yeah Well, there's there's games later
1:05:56
Yeah, they're pretty much like all day it's awesome
1:06:02
started a little late today started to but They
1:06:06
go and like 11 o 'clock got anything for Austria
1:06:10
Jordan Jordan team total under a half So you're
1:06:19
betting for a shutout. Yes. What is Jordan, or
1:06:29
what is Austria to get a shutout then? It was
1:06:34
like minus like 120 or something. I looked at
1:06:36
the same, they're, they're the same odds. Cause
1:06:38
I was like, I wonder if, I think for some reason
1:06:41
it was like the team total under was minus 125.
1:06:44
And then the, because DraftKings, I could Fandel
1:06:48
might have it too, but DraftKings was more easy
1:06:50
to find. It was like to have a clean sheet and
1:06:53
they were like, it was like minus one 26. I don't
1:06:56
know why it was slightly different, but some
1:06:59
of them, sometimes the odds are like greater
1:07:03
for like the same bet for some reason. Yeah,
1:07:08
it's weird. Yeah. Cause I thought that too. I
1:07:09
was like, what if there's a different way to
1:07:10
go about this? But it was essentially the same.
1:07:15
So yeah rooting for boring ask it might not watch
1:07:17
that for boring asking I would be going to sleep.
1:07:22
Oh Yeah, so it's at 11 doesn't it? Yes. Yeah
1:07:26
might have it on as I false it Hey Chris, you
1:07:30
might give me some insight on this I'm looking
1:07:34
on bet 365 and I clicked into the Austria Jordan
1:07:38
game and I would see something called Asian lines
1:07:42
Yeah, that's like a form of spread betting. I'm
1:07:45
not super knowledgeable about that. I know they
1:07:47
have like the They have like the minus a half
1:07:54
and like minus point two five I've had that explained
1:07:58
to me. I think it was like the last World Cup.
1:08:01
I don't remember exactly but it's like essentially
1:08:03
I think it's I Could be wrong. This could make
1:08:08
me look at you need it, but I think it's like
1:08:11
way of being like, this team has to win. Like
1:08:15
if, if they draw up, you lose. So I think, uh,
1:08:20
I know Corey and the group chat kind of knows
1:08:22
about that. So he probably able to explain it
1:08:25
better than me, but to my knowledge, that's what
1:08:27
that is more or less. I probably did a terrible
1:08:31
job explaining it. Okay. Uh, I don't know if
1:08:35
I can find the, uh, like team total. Under on
1:08:41
bed three, six, five, three, six, five. I like
1:08:44
them. They give out some good boosts. Sometimes
1:08:47
finding various props on that book is kind of
1:08:50
a pain. Yeah. I'll, uh, you got time. Two and
1:08:56
a half hours. All right. I think, uh, might be
1:09:00
a good time to wrap it up. What say you gents?
1:09:04
I guess I like it. Um, before we go, I just have
1:09:06
a quick, I remember a few weeks ago. said want
1:09:09
to do fun baseball facts um during the summer
1:09:13
because there's not really a whole lot going
1:09:15
on there is one this was from a few weeks ago
1:09:17
but obviously haven't had a chance to bring it
1:09:19
up this was this season it was at a Giants Diamondbacks
1:09:25
game this couple so obviously they play like
1:09:29
we can they play series in baseball this couple
1:09:31
showed up to a game on Friday even though they
1:09:35
had tickets for Saturday there's got the whatever
1:09:37
mixed up they're like okay well we're here we'll
1:09:41
just buy tickets for this game too they set it
1:09:44
they bought tickets for very close to like the
1:09:47
tickets they had for the next game so they're
1:09:50
out in the outfield and left field i believe
1:09:52
they catch a home run hit by giants player willy
1:09:55
adames that's awesome fun yeah yeehaw they come
1:10:00
back the next night sit and I believe it's the
1:10:03
exact same section, different row, but same left
1:10:07
field. Catch another home run ball hit by Willie
1:10:10
Adonis. Baseball is cosmic like that. Yeah. There
1:10:17
was one guy. I can't remember if this happened
1:10:20
pretty early in the season. I can't remember.
1:10:22
I've ever brought this up. There's one guy. He
1:10:24
was an A's Phillies. It was an A's game. He caught
1:10:26
four foul balls in one inning. Damn. And like
1:10:30
it was it wasn't like he was the only guy in
1:10:32
the like a section he was able to run and get
1:10:34
him like they were all pretty much hit right
1:10:35
at. Wild. That's baseball. Yeah. Before we go.
1:10:44
There was some news that dropped last week that
1:10:47
we didn't get to talk about. And that is Tom
1:10:52
Brady's new organic coconut water drink called
1:10:55
Good Nut. Oh. Oh, Tom. Yeah. See that, Will?
1:11:03
I saw that in passing and I thought it was a
1:11:07
joke. It's not a joke. Okay. It's not a joke.
1:11:12
It's real. It does sound like an SNL skit. Yes.
1:11:16
It's literally like... You know that South Park
1:11:22
episode where they all drink like the special
1:11:24
goo and they have like... Yeah, putter special
1:11:27
goo. butter special goo, and they have that commercial
1:11:29
where Tom Brady is just drinking cum. Like, he's
1:11:33
just like, like, but it's like, dude, I mean,
1:11:43
he knows what he's doing, right? One thing. I
1:11:47
mean, he has to. I think I've not seen any marketing
1:11:51
for this. But I feel like if you name it that
1:11:54
and then you make Like commercials being like
1:11:58
being like all tongue -in -cheek about the name
1:12:01
then it's like, okay, that's great marketing
1:12:03
I'm never gonna drink it because it sounds disgusting.
1:12:05
But that's funny. I I haven't seen a single ad
1:12:10
commercial tweet anything about the other people
1:12:13
making fun of it since that he dropped in this
1:12:16
so maybe they're just not coming across my timeline,
1:12:18
but Uh, well, sometimes that's all the marketing
1:12:23
you need is for the internet to just take hold
1:12:26
of something and for it to just go super viral.
1:12:30
Like it did. I would like to see their sales
1:12:34
numbers because it's like, I've seen people shit,
1:12:36
like not shit, making fun of it, but I haven't
1:12:39
really seen too many people being like, come
1:12:42
get it. Like it's good. As someone who works
1:12:47
for a beverage distributor. Am super scared of
1:12:51
picking this thing up like our company picking
1:12:55
this up as it's like distribution because I Can't
1:13:00
imagine trying to like sell this To like an Indian
1:13:06
guy running a convenience store. I just can't
1:13:09
I just I have like hey Do you want to try this
1:13:12
new coconut water called good nut? No. It would
1:13:21
actually probably sell at gangbusters, but just
1:13:24
like getting it in there would just be a hassle.
1:13:30
Sir, take your gay porn and get out of here.
1:13:34
It would only, it would probably only sell well
1:13:36
for like the first like two months we had it.
1:13:42
Yeah. I think coconut water is also one of those
1:13:45
things that Like I don't know people who like
1:13:49
really really care about what they put in their
1:13:52
body do which That fat is also over the coconut
1:13:58
the whole coconut water like fad it's over like
1:14:02
it's done Die nobody's Joe Schmoe isn't drinking
1:14:09
coconut water. I've never drank coconut water
1:14:12
to my knowledge Yeah. I don't think I have either.
1:14:19
I mean, if your company does pick it up, maybe
1:14:21
get some free samples for the fellas. Try it
1:14:25
live on the pod. Yeah. Get some free good nut.
1:14:34
