  Welcome back to another edition of the Drive Home Podcast. I'm your host,
• 0:03
  Chris mccurio, and we have a great show today lined up because we are
• 0:07
  doing a crossover with my good friend, the host of Day Drinking with Dog,
• 0:12
  Jeremy Wells. Jeremy, what's going on? What's going on the Drive
• 0:15
  Home Podcast? Buddy? Nothing? You know, nice little Friday show.
• 0:20
  You're working tonight, right, So that's yeah, I am. I got
• 0:23
  two more weekends of work till I hit the cruise. I'm calling it the
• 0:27
  NFL Draft cruise this year since I'm pretty much mosh watching the first three rounds
• 0:33
  on the first three actually the whole thing. Did they do with Sunday anymore?
• 0:36
  Is it just Thursday, Friday, Saturday? I think it's it's Thursday's
• 0:39
  round run one Fridays and three, I believe, and then they just and
• 0:44
  then they just finished it out. Yeah, yeah on Saturday. So I
• 0:46
  will be on the ship all three days. Remember when it was like all
• 0:50
  day Saturday and all day Sunday. Yeah, Like the first round was like
• 0:53
  dude, yeah, And what was cool about is like your pick happened,
• 0:56
  you go did what you had to do in the yard or went to did
• 0:59
  your and then by the time you came back, you saw your second pick
• 1:02
  right exactly. Now it's like like three day. I mean the NFL,
• 1:04
  the NFL does it right though, like they they you know, as much
• 1:07
  as people kill on Goodell, you know, Patriots fans mostly they know how
• 1:12
  to make money, they know how to they know how to run the show.
• 1:17
  No, and it's brilliant. It's just funny because what's the first rounds
• 1:19
  fifteen minutes? Right? Yeah? And then every other rounds ten or is
• 1:23
  it just second third rounds ten? And then the other ones are shorter?
• 1:26
  Yeah, I think the other ones are shorter. Yeah, yeah, I
• 1:30
  think so because they cruised through. He got four, five, six,
• 1:32
  and seven. Yeah. So yeah. So we were talking last night,
• 1:38
  so if the Red Sox had won, would give them a little bit of
• 1:41
  time they you know when, So we'll give them about three minutes. I'll
• 1:47
  start with the first minute and a half, then you can come in.
• 1:51
  I think we were both excited but very hesitant on that seven to three road
• 1:55
  trip. We knew their pitching would be solid. We didn't think it'd started
• 1:59
  out there good, but let's you know, come on, they played the
• 2:00
  a's, they played the Angels without show. Hey uh yea. The split
• 2:06
  in Seattle was good. Last year, in their first ten games on the
• 2:09
  West Coast, they went four and six, so seven and three was an
• 2:14
  improvement for us. It was like, Okay, they did what they had
• 2:16
  to do, so we're like good, right, right, maybe they'll maybe
• 2:21
  they'll break five hundred because they did what they had to do, right.
• 2:23
  No, I agree, but we were still very skeptical, you know,
• 2:30
  and then story gets hurt. We didn't know he was out for the year
• 2:31
  un till they got home. But uh, that was the first ball to
• 2:37
  drop, and then Paveta and then what Rome Gonzalez camp Plaign Now and I
• 2:43
  was watching the game last night and they actually got to the point where they
• 2:46
  had to bring a picture in to like like they had to move Connor Wong
• 2:53
  the second and then somebody got ejected and that what was it the ninth?
• 2:58
  It was Rhys maguire. Did you see why he got ejected? Well,
• 3:01
  yeah, I mean he was arguing it was it was a weak ejection.
• 3:04
  But someone threw a chicken wing on the on the I didn't see that.
• 3:07
  So someone threw a chicken wing. It bounced in the right handed hitters batter's
• 3:12
  box. So Ry maguire like tried to step out of the step out of
• 3:16
  the thing, but the umpire run him up, and that's when he started
• 3:20
  arguing. And then well, I mean whatever, these umpires are a little
• 3:24
  Sally's lately. But anyway, so here we are they you know, they
• 3:29
  got swept by Baltimore. They could have won, They should have won two
• 3:32
  of the games, and a lot of it's come down to, you know,
• 3:37
  that one pitcher, Robinson his no, no, the guy with a
• 3:44
  mustache. He's the one that gave up those all those runs against Baltimore when
• 3:49
  we're at five to nothing. And then he was the one that gave up
• 3:51
  the two run Homer Well, Cutter, Crawford, what went Chris Martin.
• 3:54
  No, no, but he's the one that he's the one that gave up
• 3:58
  the home run. Yeah, well that was that was when they right,
• 4:02
  That was when they took the lead. That was that weird in it with
• 4:04
  the the catcher interference and all that. Yeah, just it's just you know,
• 4:12
  last night was the guy couldn't touch second base on the double play,
• 4:15
  and then and then they take out the picture and the very next pitch is
• 4:18
  a two run homer. Yeah. Uh but yeah, yeah it's bad news
• 4:25
  bears, like it's just a comedy of errors. And as much as we
• 4:29
  shoot on story, he does solidify that side of the infield. And he's
• 4:32
  not even I mean he's gone again. Is we have him next year too?
• 4:35
  Like it was a four year deal six See, you're my contract guy.
• 4:43
  I forget all these contracts. You know, you know him up in
• 4:45
  your fucking dome. We still have We still have three years after this.
• 4:49
  Yeah, I know that, Uh, give him time. It's so early,
• 4:53
  like he remember that hot streak he had last year. I know you
• 4:56
  down on him big time. I think he's he's just not He's not a
• 4:59
  p he can't play defenses, he's not really a power hitter. So he's
• 5:02
  just got to like kind of slap the ball around. He went on that
• 5:05
  huge like he was a player of the Month last year in May, wasn't
• 5:09
  he? Yeah? Because he ended he started off with like a three homer
• 5:13
  game in Milwaukee and then just like carried on for a month. Yeah,
• 5:15
  So I mean whatever, I get it. I like you you turn on
• 5:18
  people quick though. I have like I have a longer leash than you.
• 5:21
  Do I like to think. I like to think of the good in people
• 5:27
  like Oh Jay, like you know, like it's like I start out every
• 5:32
  season like, oh, they're won one hundred games, but then you're like
• 5:34
  you watch them and I guess. The thing with Yoshida, Like it is
• 5:39
  the same thing with like Story. So the Story thing, it's freak accidents,
• 5:44
  but it's a trend, Like there's always a freak accident. He's always
• 5:47
  you know what I mean, Yeah, yeah, you blow out your shoulder
• 5:50
  diving for a ball. It's like a freak accident, but it's three consecutive
• 5:55
  years of freak accident. He needs to play like one of those like air
• 5:58
  bubble things. But this is the thing. They won't sign off on any
• 6:03
  major contracts right for free agents. But they signed off on Yoshida for ninety
• 6:08
  and Story for one hundred and forty. So it's like it's like, how
• 6:11
  did bloom talk you into those two? Right? But you won't sign a
• 6:15
  picture. Well, I mean, circumstances are a little different now because Henry's
• 6:18
  got his hands in more things than he had two years ago. I mean
• 6:24
  I think that comes with nothing there for Opening Day. I don't know,
• 6:29
  I wasn't there. I wasn't there. I mean, I mean, I'm
• 6:31
  usually I wasn't even watching. I was golfing. I said, fuck this,
• 6:33
  I'm going golfing. It was a nice day, the fourteen. Yeah,
• 6:40
  it's like, was he even there? I know, I don't know.
• 6:44
  I doubt. I'm sure we would have. I'm sure we would have
• 6:46
  heard it because he would have got booed. It's been kind of cool,
• 6:47
  like watching social media with like Pago and Manny and and all the pictures are
• 6:51
  taken and the restaurants they've been hanging out at. It's it's it's uh twenty
• 6:57
  years God, it doesn't. I mean it seems like like not yesterday,
• 7:00
  but like not twenty years ago. It doesn't. Yeah, I feel like
• 7:02
  twenty years ago. I mean, think about it. Twenty years ago,
• 7:05
  we didn't have social media. No, you know, like we weren't.
• 7:10
  We didn't have camera phones, we didn't have it wasn't like we don't have
• 7:14
  the iPhone. Yeah, we were like texted like crazy. We were just
• 7:17
  yeah, hey I went to the game last night. Well it was pretty
• 7:19
  good. Yeah, you know pretty much. Yeah. Now it's now,
• 7:23
  it's crazy, all right, we get all right, that's like seven minutes
• 7:26
  we gave them. Fuck them? Do they hold on real quick? Do
• 7:30
  they finish this weekend? Five hundred? Wait is Monday? The nay?
• 7:36
  Okay, so it's a four gamer. They're seven and six? Are they
• 7:41
  nine and eight or better? Or eight and nine or worse? Eight and
• 7:48
  nine? So they're gonna be eight and nine. Yeah, they're gonna They're
• 7:50
  gonna lose three out of four. Yes, And I want to tell you
• 7:56
  this. I did write this down. I know we'd give them too much
• 7:58
  time, But in the last nineteen games at Fenway Park, they're three and
• 8:03
  sixteen, which is tied for the ninth the worst record at Fenway in ninety
• 8:09
  years with the nineteen ninety fourteen. The reason I wrote this down is who
• 8:16
  was on that team? Ninety four Clements? Clemens was right, ninety four
• 8:20
  Clemens was, But who else Clemens was? That was? Was that Clemens
• 8:24
  his last year? Yeah? That was the sunset year, fading off into
• 8:30
  the sunset? Well, no, he's on the back half of his or
• 8:33
  I forget what that Duke Cat quote is, right, isn't the twilight of
• 8:37
  his career? And then he went to Toronto and won two straight saw young
• 8:41
  right, because he's juicing. But I mean, who cares. I listen,
• 8:45
  I'm all for it. They all did it. But uh, I
• 8:48
  just I was trying to think of like that was the year before they got
• 8:52
  like Kevin Mitchell with Knseko on that team. Mov man, you got a
• 8:56
  prep on this v was there? No? It was funny because when I
• 9:01
  saw in ninety four, ius thinking like we were like eighteen twenty. Yeah,
• 9:07
  but like who who was on Aaron Seely? Was he on that?
• 9:09
  You? John Ball? Yeah? Yeah, exactly like it was before.
• 9:15
  No, marklu Marloney, No, a little too early for him. There
• 9:20
  was too early for Louis in h Louis in the miners at that point,
• 9:24
  because I think he graduated Providence in ninety three. Yeah. I'd have to
• 9:33
  look up their roster. Yeah, but yeah, I mean it's just the
• 9:35
  only reason is because it was ninety four, so I figured we might know
• 9:37
  a neigh or two. That's that's the only reason I asked. But where
• 9:43
  do you want to go next? Let's I say we, uh, you
• 9:50
  want to do a quicksette Celtics minute? Since you haven't watched the game all
• 9:52
  year, I still haven't watched the game. So that's pathetic. That's pathetic.
• 9:56
  Good. I can't, oh stop. The NBA is the product,
• 10:00
  dude. You are sounding your age like you're turning in, You're turning You're
• 10:05
  like a young Dan Shaughnessy right now, like you're just like way more positive.
• 10:09
  Well, you don't even watch games anymore, like we couldn't. We
• 10:13
  could, Like just two years ago, we talked about every Celtics game,
• 10:16
  every playoff game. You hated the persinga signing. You have to admit so
• 10:20
  far, knock on wood. You know he's been healthy. Okay, So
• 10:24
  here's my take on that real quick, because I did hate it, and
• 10:28
  I was told, I was told he'll be healthy. He played sixty five
• 10:31
  games last year. He's a missing piece two things. They're nineteen and four
• 10:35
  without me, and he's not even gonna play sixty five games. Yeah,
• 10:39
  well that should tell you how good they are. Well, I'm just saying,
• 10:41
  I'm telling you, well, you look at it like this. I
• 10:45
  think Drew Holiday is an upgrade over Marcus Smart right and Robert Williams never played
• 10:52
  anyway, So persingis is just that extra. Look, he's unguardable, he
• 11:00
  is, But can you trust he'll be healthy. I don't know. We're
• 11:03
  here, we're here, it's the playoffs start next week already. I don't
• 11:09
  care. Yeah, that's on purpose. Though he missed a couple because he
• 11:11
  tweaked his ankle. But like it's all. They're resting, like all the
• 11:15
  other teams do. Now. Tatum sits out every other game. Now.
• 11:18
  They all played last night and got crushed by the Knicks. But I don't
• 11:22
  I think it was just an effort thing. I did watch the game.
• 11:24
  They just they're like, all right, let's just get to the fucking playoffs.
• 11:26
  Let's not go and make some crazy block and get fucking hurt, you
• 11:31
  know. And then Knicks are playing for not their lives, but their playoff
• 11:33
  seeding lives. And you know, here I am in Connecticut, and I
• 11:37
  listened to all this New York radio and I just happened to flip on Cartman
• 11:41
  this morning. But you know, he's on Fox. He's national now,
• 11:43
  but he's a New York guy. And they're all like, Knicks are going
• 11:46
  to the finals now because they beat the Celtics last night. It's like,
• 11:50
  dude, it's a regular season game, and in the seven game series,
• 11:52
  you will get some shots that go down when everyone shoots threes. If you're
• 11:56
  on that night, you win. If you're on and I get where you're
• 11:58
  like, it's kind of unwatchable. I don't sit there and watch it,
• 12:03
  you know, wire to wire. Uh, you know, Like I went
• 12:07
  to the Celtics Golden State game. They were it was twenty one, twenty
• 12:11
  one, blink of an eye, it was a thirty to something run.
• 12:16
  They're up thirty, then they went up fifty, then they went up fifty
• 12:18
  four. Then I went in by fifty two. All my prop all my
• 12:22
  prop bets lost because they took all the starters out in the middle of the
• 12:24
  third quarter. So no I had like Brown and Tatum for like twenty five
• 12:28
  points each, and fucking it was just a blowout. So they didn't they
• 12:33
  didn't play the rest of the game. That's crazy. But I mean,
• 12:37
  I know you don't watch, but obviously you follow. I mean, I
• 12:39
  know you know where they're at. I know you already already. You already
• 12:41
  told me perzingis this fucking record when he's not playing. So people are on
• 12:46
  me about it. So it's so funny. Somebody I don't even know like
• 12:50
  this, Like I'm I have fun with Twitter, but holy hell, people
• 12:54
  are just way too attack. Someone literally went back and found my post of
• 13:01
  when they traded for Pazingis. I said something like, please rescind this trade,
• 13:05
  right yes, and and someone retweeted it and wrote old takes exposed and
• 13:11
  I was like, dude, that's last June, right, like you went
• 13:16
  back and found this from the house. That's what people do. I know.
• 13:20
  It was crazy, And then other people were jumping on it and I'm
• 13:22
  just sitting there like I'm like, I like one guy, I was just
• 13:26
  like, bro, I was like, this is it from last June?
• 13:28
  Do you have nothing else to do? They don't. It's unbelievable. I
• 13:33
  would take it as I would take it as a compliment that someone was digging
• 13:35
  through your Twitter just to find something that you were negative against him, and
• 13:41
  he could like throw it in your face, like I'd be like, dude,
• 13:43
  thanks for digging. Man. I know, like it was just at
• 13:48
  first it was weird, and then I'm just like wow, like this is
• 13:52
  really the stuff that people have, and it's like it wasn't from my podcast
• 13:56
  page. It was from my personal page, and like I don't know how.
• 13:58
  I mean, somebody was digging through last June. It was just weird,
• 14:03
  by the way. Fun Twitter fact, a guy I know from like
• 14:07
  basketball and everything, he's his name on it is validation, and he's younger,
• 14:13
  he's in his thirties. But it's all about like posting about the nineties
• 14:18
  and how they weren't plumbers, you know, all that stuff, right,
• 14:20
  And he posted something yesterday congratulating Michael Cooper for getting into the Hall of Fame.
• 14:26
  And I commented, because I comment on all this stuff. I wrote
• 14:31
  Larry's always said Michael Cooper was the toughest defender he ever faced. And Michael
• 14:35
  Cooper liked it. Oh wow, that's pretty funny. I know. That's
• 14:41
  what. So I don't have you know me, I don't have much Twitter
• 14:45
  presence. I just I've had a couple of interactions. Like Chris Gasper,
• 14:50
  we actually DMed each other once and I can't remember, but like whatever,
• 14:56
  Like I follow like the sports writers because they usually to Twitter first. Yeah.
• 15:01
  And also if you like like Gasper's the Globe right yeah, so if
• 15:05
  you I don't want to pay for the Globe. So if you click on
• 15:09
  his article and there's like reader view available or whatever, and I click on
• 15:13
  it, I can read. So I follow them because I can read their
• 15:16
  stuff on Twitter because I'm not giving fourteen ninety nine a month to John Henry.
• 15:20
  No I I go on it. Yeah some yeah, some articles you
• 15:24
  can read something, you know, I don't. I don't do that for
• 15:26
  any paper, like no, like it's all out there. Yeah, like
• 15:31
  even like athletic articles, you can find them somewhere else. I do pay
• 15:35
  for the Athletic only because during COVID I signed up for it and it's just
• 15:41
  a recurrent thing. You can't figure out how you're paid for it. But
• 15:43
  I don't even know when the bill comes. I don't even know when the
• 15:46
  payment comes out. So I just kind of I just I've just kind of
• 15:50
  rolled with it. But I think, honestly, I think when I signed
• 15:52
  up, it was a dollar for the first year, and then it was
• 15:54
  like thirty nine for every year afterwards. So I'm like forty dollars a year
• 16:00
  and whatever, you know. I mean, I think the C's roll roll
• 16:03
  through the East, maybe have one game or one series extended to six,
• 16:10
  and they win the whole thing if they don't play Denver. That's the only
• 16:12
  thing that bothers me about the NBA. Is every series goes to seven and
• 16:18
  or like, well six, Yeah, because because I read, one home
• 16:22
  playoff game pockets at least a million dollars cash into an owner's pocket. Yeah,
• 16:29
  so there's reason for the league to extend them plus the league, you
• 16:33
  know, the But we've seen Celtics. They swept Brooklyn a couple of years
• 16:37
  ago. I mean, I know, but you know, they don't want
• 16:40
  to see them just sitting there waiting, resting while you know what. I
• 16:44
  mean. They want every series to be on. I just yeah, I
• 16:47
  just think the rest can can definitely control the game. I just think they're
• 16:51
  too good, like especially at home. Like if they lose more than one
• 16:56
  game in the whole playoffs at home, I'd be shocked, and it probably
• 17:00
  it'd probably be like game one of the first series, you know, and
• 17:02
  then it'd be like, oh shit, all right, like we got to
• 17:03
  turn the engines back on like after that, Like you know, I could
• 17:08
  see Philly winning a game of home. I could see. I can't.
• 17:12
  I mean, if if Giannie is hurt, I don't think we play them.
• 17:15
  I think they're ousted before we even see him. I mean, Miami
• 17:19
  will always squeeze out a game of home against us. They did it last
• 17:22
  year. They're not the same team this year though, and we're better.
• 17:26
  Like Philly, they'd win a game at home, but we'd probably win in
• 17:30
  five, and then after that Indiana would probably you know, Haliburton probably get
• 17:33
  hot one game from three and they'll win a game of home. But you
• 17:37
  know, I see us going twelve and three or twelve and two in that
• 17:41
  run to get to the finals. And then the West is a fucking minefield
• 17:45
  of of of decent to really good teams. And I mean thinking about Lakers
• 17:51
  and Golden State are going to play in a one off. Most likely does
• 17:56
  want Leroun to at least get out of the plane. Yes, of course,
• 18:00
  of course they do. Of course they do. It's the biggest conundrum
• 18:03
  they have right now is that Golden State is gonna play them and they're gonna
• 18:08
  lose Stephan Clay or they're gonna lose you know, Lebron and ad and I
• 18:18
  you need Lebron. I'm sorry, Lebron's still gonna get in over Steph.
• 18:22
  That's what I'm saying. That's why I can't stand the NBA. Though,
• 18:25
  well, the players shouldn't even exist, but here we are. No,
• 18:27
  of course, right, well it's money. Yeah, And it's like I
• 18:30
  said, it's a million cash, So whatever whatever, owner, I let's
• 18:34
  just say the Warriors host, even if they lose, he gets a million
• 18:37
  dollars, right right, you know what I mean? So what's a million?
• 18:42
  I mean you say it like I mean, these guys are fucking multi
• 18:45
  billionaires. Oh no, no doubt about it. But it's just like the
• 18:48
  players won't even play in this fucking in season tournament to win a million dollars.
• 18:53
  They could care less. I know that's the players. What the fuck
• 18:56
  is a million dollars to the owners? I mean, one hundred million was
• 19:02
  one thing, but a million dollars that's they probably just write it off to
• 19:06
  fucking their taxes. Anyway, I don't know, Yeah, I got them.
• 19:10
  Are you gonna watch the playoffs? I mean, come on, you
• 19:12
  know what then you don't? You don't. You do not get to talk,
• 19:15
  you don't get to celebrate the championship that we have first won since two
• 19:18
  thousand and seven eight season, it's been fifty to seventeen years since we've won.
• 19:25
  I want them to win. I hope they win. I'm rooting for
• 19:29
  them to win. Sitting through an NBA game is painful. The fouls,
• 19:33
  no trout. It's been like that for a long time, Chris. I
• 19:37
  know, the only thing that's changed is the amount of threesday jack up.
• 19:42
  But the one thing the Celtics do do is play defense, which a lot
• 19:45
  of teams don't, I e. The Pacers, the Bucks, you know,
• 19:52
  yeah, like like I don't mind watching it. The thing is,
• 19:56
  though, so I saw a stat the other day the Lakers like have the
• 20:02
  most free throws in the NBA by like over two hundred and they're twenty eighth
• 20:07
  in the league. And drives to the hoop. Yeah, I mean,
• 20:10
  we know. It's It's always been this way though, Chris. It's always
• 20:12
  been a star driven, referee run league. I know it's it's it's frustrating.
• 20:18
  Get over it. I don't know if I can. I promised myself
• 20:22
  I wouldn't watch a game this year. Oh, as you're wearing a Celtics
• 20:27
  I did that on purpose a Celtics, Honk. I can't listen. This
• 20:34
  is the only team right now that really is the only team that legitimately has
• 20:37
  a chance to win a championship. Out of the four the Bruins do not
• 20:41
  I'm sorry. The Patriots sure as hell don't. And the Red Sox are
• 20:45
  probably going to be trash again. So what else do we have to root
• 20:49
  for? This is the one thing you have on your plate, and that
• 20:53
  is in two and a half weeks the Draft. That is like your mecca
• 20:57
  of sports coming. And then after that it's over unless you turn on the
• 21:03
  Celtics game. No, because then we got rookie mini camp. Then have
• 21:07
  fun with that. They haven't even done their ot yet right now. It
• 21:11
  starts after the draft. They had the mini They didn't do the mini camp
• 21:17
  yet. Yes, they know, they just did it. They just did
• 21:18
  it. And what's his name showed up? Slater? Slater. Yeah,
• 21:22
  they say he's going to be right now, he's just a he's an advisor,
• 21:27
  an advisor. But then he may get a paid roll. They said,
• 21:30
  oh really, yeah, maybe maybe. Did you see Troy Brown might
• 21:34
  become the wide receivers coach at Arizona State? What do you do with our
• 21:41
  wide receivers this year? No? Look, I mean, I love Troy
• 21:44
  Brown, He's one of my favorite Patriots, but we have the worst wide
• 21:47
  receivers in the NFL. Granted a lot of that talent but what is he?
• 21:52
  Don kirk Cousin says, what's his name? Kjuh Osborne Osborne? Look
• 21:56
  out, look out, listen. I talked to myself into itself. I
• 22:03
  know what I know you did. It is the Patriots. Oh boy,
• 22:07
  So should we talk a little draft? Yeah? But but seriously, I
• 22:11
  want to get back to this point that you you can't even because you promised
• 22:15
  yourself, and coming from someone that's been sober for as long as you have,
• 22:18
  I get your your your mental will is much greater than mine. But
• 22:25
  I mean, Finals Game one against the Denver Nuggets or the Los Angeles Lakers.
• 22:30
  You're not going to tune in nine o'clock on a Monday night. Well
• 22:36
  whatever, It's been like that forever too. I can't like the Yukon game
• 22:41
  line. I know. Yeah, at least those games are only two hours,
• 22:44
  I know, but started yeah, I mean, who cares about the
• 22:48
  West Coast? Did they outrate the women's game because the women's was Sunday at
• 22:52
  three? Not even close? Like eighteen yeah, it was like eleven.
• 22:57
  Yeah. I think the first game of the Final Four, the one that
• 23:00
  started at like six, was close. They were like fourteen million or fifteen
• 23:07
  million. Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
• 23:11
  say that the men's what about drawn h them? I do think you lose
• 23:15
  a little bit because it's nine to twenty on the East Coast. I mean,
• 23:18
  why why don't I don't understand. I mean, I know they don't
• 23:22
  want to go back to back games, but why not do Friday Sunday and
• 23:26
  then have you know, the girls play, the girls play, the girls
• 23:33
  play Thursday Final four, the guys play Friday Final four, whatever fucking times
• 23:38
  you want to do, and then Sunday you got the girls game at three,
• 23:42
  play in the same fucking stadium. No that I wouldn't work acause the
• 23:45
  college kids. But the girls game at three, the men's game at six
• 23:48
  thirty on a Sunday night. That's what I'm saying. You're not up against
• 23:51
  anything else, right, Golf's over No football Sunday night. Football is usually
• 23:56
  one of the highest rated shows. Yeah, proven that you could put something
• 23:59
  on Monday night and its succeeds. Right, It's just tough, like you
• 24:03
  know, on a Monday when you work like a office job, like going
• 24:07
  to bed at midnight on a Monday. Really really sorry, let me give
• 24:15
  you one quick Yukon note I feel. I mean, you know, I'm
• 24:19
  a Yukon fan, have been since nineteen eighty eight. Uh, this is
• 24:23
  our six championship. Hurly, what a job. You know. He literally
• 24:29
  got the job now six years ago and he said in five years, I
• 24:33
  win a championship. And he nailed that last year and he had to recreate
• 24:37
  his whole roster. It's a little easier now with transfer portals and stuff,
• 24:41
  but you still got to get the players. You've got a lot of competition
• 24:44
  out there, and so you're you're competing against nil money and I'm assuming stores
• 24:48
  doesn't really have a lot of No, they don't. I mean, well,
• 24:51
  it's a rich state, though, I mean, you know they can
• 24:55
  go do Hartford Healthcare, you know, or Yale Yale. I mean you
• 25:00
  the number one show in town basically during basketball season. Yeah. I mean
• 25:03
  there's some locals, but they're all they're all D two or whatever you call
• 25:07
  it. Uh, and there literally has nothing to do with tip cows up
• 25:12
  where they are. I mean the campus. I mean it's a great party
• 25:15
  campus, but like there's nothing, I mean, there's nothing to do.
• 25:19
  You got to drive an hour in either direction to find civilization. It's off
• 25:23
  what eight, it's off eighty four. There is a little strip club right
• 25:27
  off that exit before you head, and a sub and a subway huge billboard.
• 25:33
  Yeah, electric Blue, the Electric Blue. Yep, Yeah, yep.
• 25:40
  But now they got let's let's see, like so he turned down one
• 25:42
  hundred million dollar offer from Kentucky yesterday, Hurley did Okay, I mean Kentucky
• 25:49
  they're hiring now, they're hiring this dude from uh yes, And did you
• 25:55
  see he did a video? Did you know he was on their ninety sixteen
• 25:59
  with the antoline marker and them, Oh yeah, starting center. That's what
• 26:03
  that's the connection. So they showed a video this morning of him accepting the
• 26:07
  Kentucky job and he like ripped off his shirt and had Kentucky underneath it,
• 26:11
  and the video sc like, you know, scanned back and it was like
• 26:15
  so cringe worthy. And as they scanned back, he was doing it and
• 26:17
  by Us Jim and you can see the BYU logo behind him. My god,
• 26:22
  what are anyway? So we're basically losing our if caravan goes pro,
• 26:27
  which they're saying is fifty to fifty, that means we're gonna lose all our
• 26:30
  whole starting five. They're all gone. Klingon's going to the draft. Uh,
• 26:37
  Cam Spencer's a senior. Uh what's his name? The guy that won
• 26:41
  MLP as a senior. And oh the freshman kid this thud, freshman's he's
• 26:48
  gone. He said he's going to go third in the draft this year.
• 26:52
  Yeah, so they're all gone, but you can reload now. Well,
• 26:56
  yeah, that's what I mean, Like they already have some you know,
• 26:59
  big recruits come and in and once that transfer portal hits, like Cooper Flag's
• 27:03
  going to Duke and it was between Duke and Yukon. Yeah, he's got
• 27:07
  to be kicking himself now, but he's want and done anyway, he's going
• 27:10
  to be the number one pick in the draft next year. So, by
• 27:12
  the way, if memory serves me, the first title was ninety nine.
• 27:18
  Yeah, Rick Pammelico against Duke and right, and you don't want to have
• 27:22
  a fun fact, I watched it with you guys. We were at the
• 27:26
  Orange Ail House. Yeah, correct, yep, we were at the Orange
• 27:30
  Ail House. Yep. And I was actually at the time living in Florida
• 27:37
  and I was up. I was up for that weekend. Yes, yes,
• 27:41
  that's right. I do remember that. Yeah, I was with you
• 27:44
  guys for the first time, and then I moved home. I moved home
• 27:45
  six weeks later. Yeah, yeah, remember being I don't even remember where
• 27:49
  we were, but there was just this huge like we were eating dinner.
• 27:53
  Oh it was it was a corner pocket was the name of the bar.
• 27:56
  I kept saying Orange Ail House, that's next down the road a little bit.
• 28:00
  Well, you just remember being at this restaurant and we were like eating
• 28:03
  and then it was like, I don't even remember, like a half hour
• 28:07
  before game time, and just the flood of people left, ye, and
• 28:11
  I was like, where's everyone going? And then we left. Yeah,
• 28:14
  it was just like everybody and it was like the most captivating like moment Connecticut
• 28:19
  history to that point, right it was. I mean, we were so
• 28:23
  close so many times with some really great teams. And what's crazy now was
• 28:26
  we are now six and oh in national title games? Really? Yeah?
• 28:33
  Six and oh that team they had what Khalidel mean he was their point guard?
• 28:37
  I believe uh that year? Yeah, I mean, I mean Ray
• 28:41
  Allen never won one. I don't think the Marshalls never won one. Chris
• 28:47
  Smith and and Cliff Cliff Robinson and all those guys. It's some really good
• 28:51
  teams, Rudy Gay because I remember when when they won, Calhoun got up
• 28:56
  there and he named all them. Oh yeah, He's like, this is
• 28:59
  for all them that started the program, that built the program, blah blah
• 29:02
  blah and got it all the way up. Yeah. All right, we're
• 29:06
  about you want to do what we want to get into our draft picks,
• 29:08
  all right? Before we do, before we do, let me do my
• 29:11
  little Viva. This is my VIVAA gambling minute. All right, all right,
• 29:17
  Viva Tequila Seltzer, the number one hard seltzer in the world and the
• 29:21
  official hard seltzer of day. Drinking with dog ditch them all add tequila.
• 29:26
  All right. So back in November, I put a twenty five dollars bet
• 29:30
  down on Yukon at the time, for whatever reason, I was up in
• 29:33
  Massachusetts. Can't bet on him here. They were plus twenty five hundred off
• 29:37
  of a national championship. I'm like, I still kick myself for not betting
• 29:41
  one hundred dollars on it to win twenty five hundred, but I paid six
• 29:45
  fifty. So Saturday night I go up to Boston and I'm at this watch
• 29:49
  party and there's this girl, Kelly in Vegas who will probably be hopefully very
• 29:52
  much so be a guest on this show right before the football season. We'll
• 29:56
  talk betting and all that good stuff. I showed her my bet and she
• 30:00
  posted it on Twitter. And because they were offering me a cash out of
• 30:03
  three hundred and thirty seven dollars with two games to go, we knew they
• 30:07
  were killing Alabama. So she's like, this is the dumbest cash out.
• 30:10
  Average don't cash out. So she posted it online. She has, Like
• 30:14
  I said, I have no Twitter following, she probably has tens of thousands.
• 30:18
  My phone ended up getting like one, one hundred and fifty thousand views
• 30:22
  and all these comments and likes and stuff. And I wrote it out,
• 30:26
  you know I did. I did hedge my bet a little bit on Monday
• 30:30
  night. I put one hundred on Purdue just you know, I put it
• 30:32
  on when I was up in Boston, still just so I didn't lose anything.
• 30:36
  So I ended up winning five hundred fifty dollars right on a twenty five
• 30:37
  dollars bet. So I'm like, sweet, So I cash out the six
• 30:41
  fifty, but I left fifty in there. And you and I talked yesterday
• 30:48
  we were texting and we're like, are the Red Sox going to be fucking
• 30:52
  seven and six or what are we talking about tomorrow? And after we stopped
• 30:57
  talking, went I took that fit oh and I bet Baltimore minus one and
• 31:04
  a half runs parlayed it with the over eight and a half. The game
• 31:11
  was three. This is for the fifty dollars to win two like almost two
• 31:15
  hundred bucks. It was three to two. I'm like, I'm not winning
• 31:18
  this game. Then they tied it up. I said, all right,
• 31:21
  we get to extras. There's a lot of runs can be scoring extras with
• 31:23
  that ghost runner. They hit that two run homer. Who is it?
• 31:27
  Uh? Their leadoff hitter, Gunner Henderson hits the two run homer. I'm
• 31:33
  like, but fuck, I need another half run and if I get the
• 31:34
  if I get that run at the bottom of the inning, I lose the
• 31:37
  bet because then they cover the spread. So now there's two outs, nobody
• 31:41
  on double walk or no double wild pitch walk base hit. I'm like,
• 31:47
  there's my run, and then boom, this guy Colton Kowser, I have
• 31:51
  a very good rookie card of his. I didn't know who the fuck he
• 31:55
  was until I got it. You know, ten RBIs against this hits this
• 31:59
  bomb out to fucking left field or right field. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
• 32:05
  And now we're up nine to three, and I cashed out in my
• 32:07
  bet. I'm like sweet, but you know that's I never bet baseball.
• 32:12
  I had the fifty bucks, like shut, I shut my bet and down
• 32:15
  for the summer and wait for wait for football to roll around. But thank
• 32:19
  you, Uh, you're not going to be basketball playoffs. I maybe dabble
• 32:22
  on some stupid ten dollars parlays, but basketball the way you can score now,
• 32:28
  and this is kind of like to your point, like why you don't
• 32:30
  watch it as much? Like a twenty point lead is just not what it
• 32:34
  used to be. So if the Celtics are you know, all year and
• 32:37
  they've been covering a lot, but all year, they're given if you're fourteen
• 32:39
  and a half, like the game I went to on Sunday, the Portland
• 32:43
  game, I think it was like fifteen and a half and they won,
• 32:46
  but they won by like fourteen, which is still like a you know,
• 32:50
  they were up the whole game. They was never in question. But to
• 32:52
  reach it, I just I don't know, I just might do some props
• 32:55
  or something. But but till till the fall, I'm shutting down the betting
• 33:00
  for a little bit. Oh we got a lot of betting. Yeah,
• 33:06
  wait, did you ever did you ever put on the Patriots over under?
• 33:10
  No? Not yet? No? Probably, Uh, I don't know.
• 33:16
  I don't think it's gonna move either way. I think they probably are thinking,
• 33:20
  even if they draft Drake May that he's not going to start right away.
• 33:23
  So which is kind of my theory to bety over, because you're gonna
• 33:28
  have a mature quarterback running, hopefully with another wide receiver. You know,
• 33:34
  now we have kind of a catch pass catching running back now the kid we
• 33:37
  got from Washington, Robinson, right, Gibson Gibson, and uh, I
• 33:44
  think I think we'll be good. I think I mean to win five games
• 33:49
  over five Like you could see the things about over unders is unders you have
• 33:54
  to pretty much wait the whole game or the whole season to win the over
• 34:00
  is. Like, you know, maybe we win two out of the first
• 34:02
  four, right, we're two and two. I'm like, dude, you
• 34:05
  just need three more like like our you know, is our season going to
• 34:08
  spiral out of control like it did last year? I think our players are
• 34:14
  going to be a little more up in the beginning of the year, a
• 34:15
  little more conducive to the new coach. You know. It's like when an
• 34:20
  interim coach comes in, like Antonio appears for the Raiders last year, they
• 34:22
  all started playing harder, you know, and they won some games. Like
• 34:25
  I'm not saying we're gonna win. I'm not predicting nine and eight or ten
• 34:29
  and fucking seven, but could they be five and twelve, even six and
• 34:35
  eleven? I yeah, or or are we going to be halfway through the
• 34:40
  year at one and seven and we're just like in tank mode again. But
• 34:45
  that tank mode would be to trade the pick unless there's I don't know who
• 34:46
  would unless there's like a you know, because we won't need to draft the
• 34:52
  quarterback again. Yeah, I mean, obviously we'll get into the draft,
• 34:55
  but I do. I think there's there's always energy with the new coach at
• 35:02
  first, but then what it boils down to is the talent. And defensively,
• 35:08
  we're not worried right right, but I mean offensively, I mean it's
• 35:17
  the problem is to bet the over under right now, it's a crap shoot
• 35:22
  because we don't know who the offense. Is we both I think regardless of
• 35:27
  what we do, I think we both probably think Jacoby's starting week one.
• 35:32
  I mean, you got to get through preseason, but I think that's the
• 35:36
  right play. What if May lights it up? He plays, you know,
• 35:39
  a half every game and it's just that's our guy. Then you have
• 35:46
  to play right. You have to. You have to. But I don't
• 35:52
  know. My whole thing is like you either either you said it, you
• 35:54
  said listen, Drake, you're on the bench right, but you can't have
• 36:00
  Jacoby necessarily on this like like, this is why I think Bill really fucked
• 36:04
  up the last two years. Was these yankings of Mac Jones. How many
• 36:09
  times did he pulled them for Zappy like they're in game like that is doesn't
• 36:15
  help confidence for Mac. Uh, It overinflates Bailey's value. He sucks.
• 36:22
  So so the problem with Mac though, the whole thing I'm not and this
• 36:24
  is not a Mac Jones thing. Mac was drafted, but Cam started like
• 36:30
  we re signed Cam Newton and he was supposed to be and Mac went the
• 36:35
  job. Album was Mac was just way better than Cam. Regardless of how
• 36:38
  anyone thinks about Mac at that time, he was better than Cam so Bill
• 36:43
  played him. I mean that's it's like if Jacoby Brissette, which I think
• 36:50
  we think is better than Cam what it was in that year, If Jacoby
• 36:54
  Brissett ships the bed, I mean, are you basically then saying we're gonna
• 37:01
  keep playing him because we don't care about winning this year, right? I
• 37:07
  mean that's the dilemma. I mean that would be tanking. Like I mean,
• 37:14
  it's it's it's hard to put a number on it. Like you know,
• 37:16
  they go out and they're three and four with Persette, right, but
• 37:21
  they were they didn't really have those I think the worst thing that happened to
• 37:23
  Mac where those where there was the Dallas and New Orleans game back to back
• 37:29
  that changed the season, and he looked terrible. He had no protection.
• 37:35
  It's just when he gets sacks trying to move or throw the ball, he
• 37:39
  it looks like funny, almost like like Jesus Christ, you know, and
• 37:45
  even like go dating back two years ago when he got uh knocked over by
• 37:51
  uh Chandler Jones in the Raider game. It's like, boys, guy's gotten
• 37:57
  like no athletic ability. Uh. But you know, I've I've read some
• 38:02
  Jacksonville newspapers articles that you know, they haven't re signed Trevor yet, you
• 38:07
  know, like Max's sitting there. They're the same class they went to they
• 38:12
  both went to great schools, they both won national championships. I've said there
• 38:17
  is a scenario where mac Jones ends up going in and Lawrence gets patched.
• 38:22
  Trevor Lawrence for his career in fifty games, he's twenty and thirty as a
• 38:28
  starter, and he has seventy two turnovers. Ye, seventy two, like
• 38:34
  it, like it just doesn't even and everybody talks about him like he's just
• 38:39
  generational talent. Well, he was coming in. He did inherit his first
• 38:45
  year, toss out hit one. He had a terrible team, and you
• 38:51
  know, it's almost like Peyton Manning coming into the league, and they had
• 38:53
  this stupid idea to hire Urban Meyers coach. No, I get it Urban
• 38:59
  without Urban Meyer. He's seventeen and sixteen and he is. No. I'm
• 39:05
  not defending him. I'm just saying, like he didn't get off to the
• 39:07
  greatest start either, Whereas mac Jones came into a solid foundation, a solid
• 39:14
  situation in the year one and then they decided to fucking throw him the biggest
• 39:20
  curveball to you know this guy, and it just I just feel bad for
• 39:24
  Mac, Like, like he's not gonna go away. He's probably gonna have
• 39:27
  a twelve year career if he'll start again someday for some team. It is
• 39:32
  what it is. But he just needed to get out of here, that's
• 39:37
  all it was. You want to run down the top ten, right,
• 39:42
  you want to just go one to one, we'll say our picks instead of
• 39:44
  doing it. You know, like, all right, all right, I
• 39:45
  think the first three pretty probably have the same amount. Caleb Williams one of
• 39:50
  the Bears, got it. I have date Jayden Daniels two to the Commanders,
• 39:53
  the reason being I think it's Klingsberry's there and that's more of his style
• 39:58
  quarterback. To coach, I agree with you that. I want to mention
• 40:01
  the fact that everybody that's plugged in, including a college coach, basically said
• 40:05
  he's going yeah, well yeah, I don't listen to all that stuff.
• 40:08
  And our most important draft in several years. I don't even consider the Mac
• 40:15
  Jones draft that huge, even though it was right after Grady fifteenth. But
• 40:19
  yeah, we're fifteenth. Uh, you know, I pray, hope,
• 40:22
  love God that Drake May comes comes to New England if it's not Jaden Daniels.
• 40:29
  But like I said, I was gonna say, in our scenario,
• 40:32
  Drake May. But if the Commanders take Drake May, yeah, it's the
• 40:37
  quartery. It's one of the two. I'm perfectly happy with. It's so
• 40:43
  funny. It's really who you read, you know, Like I'm no college
• 40:46
  scout. I've probably seen highlights of Drake May. I don't think I've ever
• 40:52
  sat through it in North Carolina game. And the only highlights I started to
• 40:54
  watching is when we started tanking this year, and I'm like, oh,
• 40:57
  he's one of the guys. I watched Caleb Williams play against uh Colorado,
• 41:00
  actually watched that whole game. Uh, Calebs, He's he's probably gonna be
• 41:06
  pretty good in the right system. Jaydean Daniels he worries me. He worries
• 41:12
  me injury wise, like just the way he plays. Yeah, here's the
• 41:16
  thing with Jane Daniels. Either he's going to be a star or right.
• 41:21
  And that's what makes me laugh that he's going to the Commanders. It's like,
• 41:23
  haven't they made that mistake already? Uh So we'll see. Well,
• 41:28
  let's I don't think anyone's moving off of any of those three picks. So
• 41:32
  uh for the Cardinals. Now, I didn't do any trades. Uh.
• 41:37
  I didn't either, but I think if you're looking at trades, yeah,
• 41:42
  or the next one. Uh. So I got just taken m h J.
• 41:46
  That's what I got. Ye Uh, Chargers, I have them taking
• 41:51
  Molik neighbors. Okay, this is where we different taking. Okay, you're
• 41:55
  going offensive lineman. I I said, neighbors only because they need another wide
• 42:00
  receiver. No, they do, but they also need to keep Herbert No
• 42:04
  agreed alive, agreed, agreed. But you know it's it's how long do
• 42:09
  you think Harva's going to be there? Four years? He's what he's like
• 42:15
  seventy. No, he's not that old. He's older. He's got me
• 42:20
  in the sixties, young sixties. His career ended in like ninety four.
• 42:24
  Yeah, and it was probably forty and oh no, maybe you're right,
• 42:30
  he's older. I know he's older. Yeah, he's got to be in
• 42:32
  his sixties. Yeah, four years, maybe five. But he's also the
• 42:38
  type like he'll jump ship if it's not going well yeah, oh yeah,
• 42:45
  well yeah, I don't I think he'll succeed though I don't think. I
• 42:47
  don't know if he's winning a championship, but he's got it. I mean,
• 42:51
  he's in the vision of my homes. So he picked the right team
• 42:54
  to go to. I think so instead of like you know, like tennis,
• 42:58
  unless Dallas opened up or Philly opened up something like that. But that's
• 43:02
  where Belichick will be next year. All right, So I went wide receiver,
• 43:07
  you went o line uh six Giants. I got them reaching again for
• 43:12
  a quarterback and JJ McCarthy, Now this could this is my trade spot.
• 43:16
  This is where I think the trade might happen. This is where the Vikings
• 43:19
  could come in. Do you think JJ McCarthy's going to six regardless of uh,
• 43:24
  yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, I think I don't think.
• 43:28
  Which is weird because the Giants, though Daniel Jones like eighty million dollars
• 43:32
  guarantee, Yeah, they hate him though they hate him, so, I
• 43:37
  mean, you know, it reminds me of when Arizona drafted the kid from
• 43:43
  UCLA third Josh Rosen, and then realized, wow, this kid sucks,
• 43:47
  and then got Kyler Murray. Yeah, they're like, you know, sometimes
• 43:51
  you just gotta eat the mistake. You know you'll get past it. Uh,
• 43:55
  this pick is obviously going to differ at seven. I got Tennessee.
• 43:59
  Now I have Joel being taken here, Okay, I have them taking Okay,
• 44:04
  yep uh. If they do either one of our picks, they're loaded.
• 44:10
  What do you mean their team their off loaded Tennessee. Yeah, Ridley
• 44:15
  Hopkins, they're gonna keep you know what I mean, they're pretty good.
• 44:21
  They lost Henry though, Yeah, but I mean they're going to change their
• 44:25
  whole style of offense now without him, right coach to yeah, yeah,
• 44:30
  yeah yeah. Where were we Tennessee, Atlanta? This is kind of this
• 44:37
  is more of a pick of not need but just he's there, and that's
• 44:40
  where I think a dune goes, and then their offense becomes another team that
• 44:45
  with an incredible offense. Okay, because that's where I think Neighbors goes.
• 44:49
  Okay, so you're still still going wide receiver? Yeah, okay, so
• 44:52
  we have our yeah you so you have a Dunze before Neighbors. I have
• 44:55
  it the other way, uh, Bears, because those three wide receivers are
• 45:01
  gone and they they kind of have a decent wide receiver corps. I haven't
• 45:06
  taken offensive tackle to protect the boy late Latham JC Latham from Alabama. Yeah,
• 45:10
  I don't ask me how to pronounce his name, but the kid from
• 45:15
  Penn State. Yeah, yeah, so we both took tackles there. Yeah.
• 45:21
  And then the Jets the Jets, so I have him taken another tackle
• 45:24
  Fuaga from Oregon State, I think, uh, And in parentheses, I
• 45:30
  have Brock Bowers. Okay, So I was just gonna say, yeah,
• 45:35
  yeah, I think he's going and then just run it down quickly. We
• 45:38
  have the Patriots. We have pick three, pick thirty four, pick sixty
• 45:43
  eight, one three, one, thirty seven, ninety three and thirty one.
• 45:47
  So I think we we're both in consensus that if we do May,
• 45:51
  we should take that thirty fourth and get t Higgins instead of drafting what did
• 45:54
  mel kiper have has taken? Uh? The wide receiver from uh Texas ad
• 46:01
  Mitchell? No, no, no, no, you actually texted me like
• 46:05
  another fucking what's his name, Nikhil Harry? Oh yeah, from Florida State,
• 46:12
  and like I literally read like his like thing and it was like no
• 46:15
  speed, but he could catch a fade route in the end zone. Like
• 46:19
  that's what fuck you? Right, that's what Nikhil Harry was Paul Centron who
• 46:23
  comes to my show, texted we were texting. I was watching the Florida
• 46:27
  State game one night because it was on and I was like nothing else And
• 46:30
  I texted him and I'm like, what do you think of Keon Coleman?
• 46:34
  He wrote back, Nikhil Harriet, Yeah, yeah, set, yeah,
• 46:37
  we need a burner, we need a speeds there. I think, I
• 46:40
  think, honestly, what's your thought on this? I think we keep I
• 46:45
  think we keep our three first, our first three picks three, thirty four
• 46:50
  and sixty eight, and then in terms of training, I think once we
• 46:54
  get to round four, that's when we start like maneuvering around. Maybe drop
• 46:59
  get another pick, maybe right up with that, you know what I mean?
• 47:02
  I could see us doing thirty four for T Higgins, But I don't
• 47:07
  know. I mean, if you draft right, let me ask you,
• 47:12
  well, we have to sign him though we can't just give up that pick
• 47:14
  and not sign him, would you? But we have the money If you
• 47:17
  grab, like say may a wide receiver and a tackle, would you then
• 47:23
  consider giving up next year's number one for T Higgins. Oh it's gonna be
• 47:30
  high, I know, but that's that's what scares me. It's good.
• 47:35
  It could easily be a top ten pick again, and we're gonna have more
• 47:37
  needs than We're still gonna have needs. We're gonna need a fucking kicker.
• 47:46
  But you know what, by the way, can we just sign that kid
• 47:49
  from fucking the UFL? Y See, yeah, just sign him? Now?
• 47:53
  You don't sign him? He's bombing sixty? Is the football different in
• 47:57
  that league? No, I don't think so anymore. Okay, remember when
• 48:00
  it was like black, it was like painted. It was like, yeah,
• 48:04
  but same size, dimensions all that. Like they're using an NFL football.
• 48:07
  By the way, you know, it's crazy. We have eight wide
• 48:12
  receivers on the contracts, and we have the worst wide receiver in the NFL.
• 48:15
  But we have eight eight. I mean that's depth. I like to
• 48:22
  look at that as depth. The the Red Sox have no depth. We
• 48:25
  have depth. I want I want them. I want them to eat Juju's
• 48:29
  contracts. Just cut them. I mean, he's like the Him and Born
• 48:34
  are like the veterans. You know what. Keep Born. No, I'm
• 48:37
  fine with Bourne. He's a good slot guy. I just think you,
• 48:43
  I mean, just get rid of Juju. He's he's only holding up space.
• 48:45
  It's not like he's gonna get better. We like Douglas, right,
• 48:50
  like Douglas a lot, but we don't really have any downfield guys. I
• 48:52
  mean, if Thornton could somehow just put a fifteen game season together. Yeah,
• 48:58
  but he's he's brittle. Well, I know, it's what I'm saying.
• 49:01
  It's like he could probably have sixty something catches and you know, seven
• 49:07
  touchdowns if he fucking stays healthy. I'm twenty pounds. They so and tight
• 49:13
  end. We got Hunter, Henry came back and we signed uhh no,
• 49:16
  we saw as Austin Hooper whatever I mean. I mean that's like a sickie.
• 49:22
  I mean it is what it is. I think he'll be good.
• 49:23
  He can block, you know, you need that. They could always draft
• 49:28
  one. They could, you know, third fourth round whatever. They're gonna
• 49:31
  have to. I mean, you gotta have some depths. Yeah, and
• 49:35
  they're older. Those guys aren't young. I don't know. I mean I
• 49:38
  think the running back room's okay. You know, they they got to get
• 49:43
  another one though, They got to get someone. Do you extend Remandre I
• 49:46
  would I like him? I like him. I mean I like him too.
• 49:51
  It's just running backs have such a short shelf. Yeah, I mean
• 49:53
  I wouldn't give him, you know what the what this year's crop got,
• 49:57
  but again for another two years, maybe two or three year contract something yeah,
• 50:02
  maybe like ten twelve a year or like yeah, like maybe like thirteen
• 50:07
  guarantees. Yeah, yeah, something like that. You know, it's great
• 50:13
  and you're right, Like, you know what's crazy is like I was when
• 50:15
  when we had Damien Harris and he just retired. See you later went to
• 50:20
  Buffalo for was he in there just one year or two? One year?
• 50:22
  So he played three with us, one with them and retired. Yeah,
• 50:27
  it's got to be injury related. Yeah, but I liked him too.
• 50:31
  I liked him a lot. Those guys take a pounding. Yeah, you
• 50:36
  know, not everyone's built like what's his name, Henry, I mean Jesus
• 50:39
  Christ. Guy's like an Adonnas. He's gonna you know what's funny, he
• 50:44
  just went to the perfect situation he did, And you know what's crazy is
• 50:47
  like, you know, I always think fantasy on some of these players,
• 50:52
  and I would not draft him high, but he's probably gonna have fifteen touchdowns
• 50:57
  because who you defend at the goal line? Him or Lamar. You know,
• 51:01
  it's like, who do you concentrate on? Or Lamar could have ten
• 51:05
  rushing touchdowns from the one. That's funny. You're going to school option with
• 51:08
  them? Yeah right, yeah, I don't know. It's gonna be interesting,
• 51:14
  but they'll still fucking suck in the playoffs. Styll Lamar will get hurt'll
• 51:19
  throw a ball at a guy on the ground. Are we playing them this
• 51:22
  year? I know we have the opponents, just not the schedule yet because
• 51:24
  we know we haven't beaten them in a while and we won't be No,
• 51:30
  we won't. Uh. I got something written down the state of the Buffalo
• 51:37
  Bills. Oh boy, Now this is why I feel the Patriots. Listen,
• 51:44
  They're they're going to finish last. However, there is a building glimmer
• 51:49
  of hope that they you know, you look at the Red Sox right and
• 51:52
  you're like, just be around in August, you know, like hanging around,
• 51:55
  be beetlejuice, just hanging around. I'm just hanging around until training camp,
• 52:00
  just right. So same thing with the Patriots. Like the Bills have
• 52:04
  definitely regressed, Dolphins, so have the Dolphins, and the Jets are going
• 52:09
  all in on a quarterback that could go out again in week one? What
• 52:15
  or even if he does play, is is rusty as fuck? Is forty
• 52:20
  one years old? And us right? And is you know just conspiracy theory?
• 52:28
  He was conspiracy theoring it up yesterday, Like is he just I think
• 52:30
  he just can't wait to be finished with football? Two? Uh become a
• 52:36
  you know, a right wing talking guy, you know, like I don't
• 52:38
  know what else to say, Like he's when he retires to get a podcast,
• 52:43
  he'll yeah, like you know what I mean, like you know,
• 52:45
  he'll have weird people on everything. And I mean he's in New York,
• 52:50
  yeah, I mean, there's so it's different than being in Green Bay.
• 52:53
  There's so many distractions. So you got those three teams and then here's the
• 52:59
  Patriots. Everyone's counting them out, and he just could be two thousand and
• 53:01
  one all over again. Do you remember two thousand and one USA? I
• 53:06
  think it was USA today puts out the top one hundred football players in America.
• 53:13
  Like NFL players, we didn't have any. We didn't have one that
• 53:16
  year, and we had some good players on our team, but not one
• 53:20
  cracked it, which we had drew BLEDSOE like he wasn't one of the top
• 53:23
  one hundred players. I know he was still considered good. Yeah, I
• 53:28
  mean he's played for what Buffalo and then Dallas, like he if you look
• 53:30
  at his career numbers, he should be a Hall of Famer compared to some
• 53:34
  of these other guys. You know, I think it's a travesty. He's
• 53:37
  not. He's like he's like third or four. Yeah. Yeah, but
• 53:40
  back when, back when, like you still could defend the receiver, and
• 53:45
  back when no one threw the ball. Yeah, you're throwing the ball seventy
• 53:47
  times, and that was for parcel forty five for seventy still a record,
• 53:52
  right right, forty five completions in seventy attempts against Minnesota Vikings ony night.
• 53:59
  It was an over time game, yep. Yeah, yet the winning touchdown
• 54:04
  some weird Yeah, yeah, man, but yeah, like I just you
• 54:08
  never know, I mean, no one thought what was what was Houston's over
• 54:12
  on win total last year? Probably four and a half five, four or
• 54:15
  five? Right, I mean they got a defensive coach, We got a
• 54:21
  defensive coach. They got the drum number two quarterback in the draft. We'll
• 54:23
  get the number three quarterback in the draft. I see. The similarities are
• 54:27
  just they drafted what tanked l He got hurt, tankdal never got hurt.
• 54:31
  They might have gone a little farther. But we're gonna draft or or or
• 54:37
  or trade for a stud wide receiver. We just really need a left tackle.
• 54:42
  That's that's the key. Yeah, I mean, you know, and
• 54:45
  it's I mean, it's they passed up some guys in free agency, so
• 54:51
  they're clearly looking towards the draft for that. I mean, because they could
• 54:54
  have brought in Tyron Smith or like Jan Williams, you know what I mean,
• 54:58
  Like there were guys could have signed so like you know, normal deals.
• 55:02
  It wasn't like Smifton get a ton. No. I feel it's only
• 55:12
  April. But somehow, when we do our preseason football show, we are
• 55:16
  going to talk ourselves into like eight to ten wins, eleven wins, and
• 55:22
  Angela Rossie's gonna record it. Angela Rossi is going to record it and then
• 55:28
  replay it back. We got the dogg going nuts. That's all right,
• 55:34
  now, it's fine. I'm getting Liz's he so he's a brat, So
• 55:38
  Liz's home and but she doesn't pay attention to him. He barks at like
• 55:42
  I don't know squirrel like he just yeah, but but back to that,
• 55:45
  Yeah, Angela is gonna hold out. He still mentions that we thought the
• 55:50
  Patriots are gonna win thirty thirteen games. Yeah, we weren't far off.
• 55:54
  I mean, and in like the grand scheme of the universe, we were
• 55:58
  really close. I wean won four. Yeah it's under ten. Right.
• 56:05
  But but like the thing is is, after this draft, I'm gonna be
• 56:07
  texting you and I'm gonna be like, yeah, then they'll well, now
• 56:12
  what happens if they trade out? I want to know your reaction if if
• 56:15
  if it's like and with the third pick in the draft, right is Roger
• 56:17
  Goodell on stage the Patriots and then the Bible and it just says, trade
• 56:23
  ye, what are you gonna do? So here's the thing. If they
• 56:30
  get like, let's everybody talks about Minnesota, let's just just say it's Minnesota.
• 56:36
  And they get eleven and twenty three, they get a first next year
• 56:39
  and maybe like a third next year, I'm gonna be I'll be unhappy,
• 56:45
  but I'll understand it and it might be the right thing to do, but
• 56:49
  I'll be unhappy because I want a quarterback. We haven't had one in forever
• 56:53
  and so like, I'll be unhappy, but I'll understand it. Yeah,
• 57:00
  you'll be fucking so mad. I'm gonna be sitting on the deck of the
• 57:06
  Royal Caribbean joy probably about the jumping off, and Chris is going to be
• 57:13
  the one their voice of reason. Don't do it, don't do it.
• 57:17
  Already I already told Nicole, I said, I don't care about Friday.
• 57:21
  Well I care about See. The good thing is we're picking, like right
• 57:22
  away on Friday in both right, yeah, right, So it's like,
• 57:27
  all right, get those out of the way and get on with the rest
• 57:29
  of our day. But I'm also happy. Thursday is Thursday night, so
• 57:32
  like right before dinner we'll probably pick or actually, shit, what does it
• 57:37
  start? Eight? Yeah, so I'm the dinners we booked. I booked
• 57:42
  them too late, so they're all late. They're all like nine thirty.
• 57:45
  So the thing is like it'll start at seven thirty, but it'll be a
• 57:49
  half hour talking. Yeah, and then what cracks me up is the first
• 57:52
  pick. Yeh, Yeah, it'll run the clock right down. Well,
• 57:55
  it's a show, it's a TV show. They're not stupid, so yeah,
• 58:00
  I'll get to see that pick and uh yeah, I also did.
• 58:04
  I did. I did read that they were. Don't be shocked if they
• 58:07
  trade back up into the first round with that second round pick. I know,
• 58:10
  but I don't know who they're chasing. But it has to be a
• 58:14
  tackle or a wide receiver would be I guess. I guess if you think
• 58:16
  that one of the wide receivers that you know, like that kid from Texas
• 58:21
  that ran like a four to two or whatever, like if Xavier Worthy,
• 58:24
  Like if you think he's not gonna be there at thirty four, I get
• 58:28
  trading up for him or something. Because if you trade up now, like
• 58:31
  think long term, and you're going for a wide receiver, you could be
• 58:36
  taking that wide receiver from Kansas City because they're gonna need a wide receiver.
• 58:39
  Yeah, because he's going He's going to jail. Yeah, yeah, you
• 58:43
  will. He fled the fucking scene. He's Texas. Don't fuck around with
• 58:46
  that ship. He's gonna pay, He's gonna he's gonna he's gonna get suspended
• 58:51
  by the league. He will get suspended by good hell, but it'll only
• 58:54
  be like two games. I mean, Tyreek Hill tried to murder his wife
• 58:58
  and kid and he only got two games. Yeah, but this is we're
• 59:00
  talking about a Lamborghini here, and six other people got hurt and he fled.
• 59:06
  He fled, but he turned himself in. Let's see. His lawyer
• 59:12
  was like, you know, he was responsible. He turned himself in.
• 59:15
  It's just like he didn't stay. He caused the crash. You can't put
• 59:19
  a Lamborghini in a twenty year old's hands. I'm sorry. They don't know
• 59:22
  how to I don't know how to drive one. I never have, but
• 59:23
  it takes practice. All right, quick, bees minute? Yeah go uh.
• 59:30
  I don't want to talk about the Bees unless they win the first round.
• 59:31
  So that's my bees minute. All right, we do uh, we
• 59:36
  do. We do have to get to a couple. Well, all right,
• 59:37
  let's let's just reminisce for a second. Oh j Dies yesterday. Well
• 59:43
  that was gonna, that was I was gonna. I think we would wrap
• 59:45
  up on the OJ thing. Okay, all right, any other sports stuff,
• 59:50
  yeah real quick, yeah, yep. Like, let's let's we both
• 59:55
  think he knows everything. Right, I wouldn't say everything, but uh a
• 1:00:00
  lot. Okay, So here's the thing. This is what I don't understand.
• 1:00:05
  Supposedly stole sixteen million dollars. Like, I don't care how much you
• 1:00:08
  get paid. You don't notice sixteen million dollars. There's just no way you
• 1:00:15
  can't funnel it enough. So his interpreter stole sixteen million dollars. He placed
• 1:00:21
  nineteen thousand bets. He lost one hundred and eighty two point nine to four
• 1:00:28
  million dollars. He won one hundred and forty two point two seven million dollars.
• 1:00:34
  That's just such an astronomical number. Yeah, someone and it's an illegal
• 1:00:37
  bookie. Suppose that's more than boute. Yeah. His average wager was twelve
• 1:00:45
  thousand, eight hundred dollars, His largest was one hundred and sixty thousand,
• 1:00:49
  his smallest was ten dollars, and he owes the bookie twenty four million dollars.
• 1:00:54
  I don't care who you are. You were not extended a line of
• 1:00:57
  credit for twenty four million dollars. Well, have you ever used an illegal
• 1:01:01
  bookie? I used to be one. Oh, okay, you know what
• 1:01:06
  you're talking. Yeah, but I had limits I had. You couldn't bet
• 1:01:09
  more than five hundred a game. I mean, I didn't have that much
• 1:01:10
  money, so I wasn't gonna like take a ten thousand dollars bet on a
• 1:01:14
  game. I'm assuming did they say where the bookie generated from? Is it
• 1:01:19
  a Japanese bookie? Is it? There's no talk about the bookie. All
• 1:01:22
  the talk is that innocent and missy who are the interpreter? Is guilty?
• 1:01:30
  Couple thoughts. One, I understand what you're saying about line of credit.
• 1:01:32
  Uh, but if this, if the story holds true, he faked his
• 1:01:37
  identity and said he was Otani, you know, so he signed a seven
• 1:01:43
  hundred million dollar contract the guy you guys like, yeah, he's good,
• 1:01:46
  you know, like whatever, if that's the case. Uh. Two,
• 1:01:51
  how is your interpreter your money guy? How does he how? So?
• 1:01:59
  How like you know, you take actors and or you take sports stars or
• 1:02:07
  you know, they're more about their craft, so they always hire financial advisors,
• 1:02:10
  and a lot of them get duped, a lot of them get fucking
• 1:02:14
  frauded. Yea, But your interpreter that you're paying one hundred and forty thousand
• 1:02:19
  dollars a year for is now your financial advisor as well? Like it up,
• 1:02:25
  you know, and he just got married, so you would think by
• 1:02:30
  just getting married you would kind of know what your finances are, like,
• 1:02:37
  you know, like you're looking at your I don't know how many bank accounts
• 1:02:38
  he has, but right right, she'd be like, you know that that's
• 1:02:43
  weird, Like would you write out a check for you know, what'd you
• 1:02:45
  wire one point three million dollars for? Right? I guess I don't know,
• 1:02:52
  Like there's this level of disbelief in me that he didn't know anything.
• 1:02:57
  Uh, he did the press conference, but it was with another interpreter and
• 1:03:00
  he couldn't ask him any questions. Is there a level of protection from MLB
• 1:03:06
  probably and probably from Japanese baseball because they don't want their you know, their
• 1:03:12
  money stream connection of US buying players from them to end either. So this
• 1:03:16
  is a global betting scandal, not just the MLB betting scandal. So I
• 1:03:23
  honestly I don't care if they If the Feds are fine with it that he
• 1:03:27
  didn't no one bet on baseball, fine, I mean, I don't think
• 1:03:31
  this guy has any money to get back. I don't think. I certainly
• 1:03:36
  hope whoever they are betting through isn't like mafia and is going to want their
• 1:03:40
  money or they just going to kind of eat this twenty four million and be
• 1:03:44
  like whatever, We're not going to get in trouble ourselves, right, you
• 1:03:47
  know, but it's you know what, you know what I hated the most.
• 1:03:52
  I was watching Colin Coward the other day when this news broke, and
• 1:03:58
  one of my favorite guys in all TV is Jason McIntyre, his sidekick.
• 1:04:01
  I think he's I just think he's level headed. But I just saw the
• 1:04:06
  media and in him right away, Like this report came out and he's just
• 1:04:10
  like, see see he's exonerated. There's nothing even to talk about anymore.
• 1:04:14
  I'm like, wait a second, it's just some flimsy FBI report that it's
• 1:04:16
  not. This is not the final report either, Like they haven't dug everything
• 1:04:20
  up yet. Like the MEETIA is so quick to they must have gotten the
• 1:04:24
  notes, Like listen, we're not getting rid of this guy. This guy
• 1:04:27
  ain't Ray Rice. You know, we're not getting rid of him. He's
• 1:04:30
  sticking around. He's our fucking future. We need a face of baseball.
• 1:04:33
  This is our guy. And now they're just gonna brush whatever really happened under
• 1:04:38
  the rug. And that's that. And it's been going on for years in
• 1:04:42
  all sports. You know, they didn't like Pete Rose. Here's the other
• 1:04:46
  thing. You can't have every other commercial in a sporting event, the DraftKings
• 1:04:50
  or bet MGM or anything, right, and it's like the NBA guy Porter,
• 1:04:59
  Okay, he no, I agreed, but like you set these guys
• 1:05:02
  up to fail. Yeah, like yeah, dude, but he like he
• 1:05:09
  literally told his boys to fucking bet the unders on his playing time and all
• 1:05:12
  that shit and the amount of threes he took and like he like was a
• 1:05:15
  DMP after the first four minutes in each game and it was like the heaviest
• 1:05:19
  betted action on DraftKings. It's like again, like you said, well,
• 1:05:24
  you're your guys, are the sites that that you know, let these bets
• 1:05:28
  happen, like you can literally this is what's so crazy and so dangerous is
• 1:05:31
  you can bet anything at any time. Like you know, you and I
• 1:05:35
  grew up on all right, what's the line? What's the over under?
• 1:05:39
  Do we want to tease it, parlay it? Take them straight? What
• 1:05:41
  that's it? Now? That like literally the line changes on the first basket
• 1:05:45
  of the game, Celtias by fourteen and a half. The other team shoots
• 1:05:48
  a three. All right, tells is by twelve and a half. Now
• 1:05:50
  and you try to Okay, let me get that extra point and then they
• 1:05:53
  start losing big. Now you start betting the other side next to you know,
• 1:05:55
  you don't. You got all this shit in your head, in your
• 1:05:58
  hands, and you're trying to figure out what what am I even gonna win
• 1:06:00
  or lose? Here, like like a lot of your bests don't even matter,
• 1:06:04
  Like you don't even it happens so fast did I hedge it correctly?
• 1:06:08
  You have no time to think. And that's where they're gonna get you.
• 1:06:11
  And it's just it's and like you said, it's every commercial. It's every
• 1:06:15
  commercial. They have hall of famers in every commercial. So like you know,
• 1:06:19
  you just say, and if you're a young k And here's the other
• 1:06:21
  thing, the stupid thing, like the NFL likely you can gamble. You
• 1:06:27
  just can't gamble on NFL authorize property. Right what does that even mean?
• 1:06:30
  Right? So if you're at let stadium, you can't bet. But if
• 1:06:34
  you if you walk across Route one to like one of those parking lots,
• 1:06:40
  you can bet to Rodman's Cars car dealership, like you can. That's how
• 1:06:45
  you can do anything, right, Like what do you like, what are
• 1:06:46
  we even talking about? Well, it's like with Yukon, like you in
• 1:06:48
  Connecticut, you can't bet on Yukon games, right, So if you're a
• 1:06:53
  Yukon student at stores, you can't bet on the game, but you can
• 1:06:57
  ask Donovan klingon, hey and keep it under twelve rebounds tonight. I got
• 1:07:01
  a nice little girl coming to your room later. That dude literally drives ten
• 1:07:05
  minutes to the mass border and can put the bet in, right, That's
• 1:07:11
  the whole point, is like the dumbest thing ever. But people get caught
• 1:07:14
  because they get greedy. So these people will probably betting fifty thousand dollars on
• 1:07:18
  these unders on this guy instead of just you know, let me win a
• 1:07:21
  couple hundred bucks tonight, you know, right, So instead of winning it
• 1:07:26
  over eighty two games, they win like two, right, and that's where
• 1:07:29
  the flags come up. But his brother, his brother's Michael Porter Junior.
• 1:07:31
  Yeah, so he's on like and he's on like a two hundred and eighty
• 1:07:34
  five million dollar contracts, right, So like I'm sure his brother's going to
• 1:07:39
  be just fine. Oh yeah, But like you're sour in the name though,
• 1:07:43
  bro, Yeah, you know he's gonna get bamed from the league.
• 1:07:46
  So now you don't even get to live out your dream right over some stupid
• 1:07:50
  shit like if you really I don't know, Like I didn't read. The
• 1:07:55
  whole thing was was were these bets he made or is it bets somebody else
• 1:07:59
  may to knowing that he wasn't he was going to check himself out of these
• 1:08:02
  games. I believe he made a couple. So we bet out himself to
• 1:08:08
  get under and then he went, I don't feel so good. One of
• 1:08:13
  them was like he won't make it three and he never took one, and
• 1:08:17
  no, he missed all three. It's like but it's like you could easily
• 1:08:20
  miss him on purpose. But if you hit me at basketball right now,
• 1:08:24
  I could miss a shot and make it look like I was trying right.
• 1:08:27
  Oh yeah, you know like when I coached, we used to do like
• 1:08:30
  a rebounding drill and I would stand there and I would take shots so they
• 1:08:33
  could like box out and go get it. But like I could miss off
• 1:08:35
  the back rim. Just throw it a little harder, you know what I
• 1:08:38
  mean? Like I like you, there's ways to do it, you know,
• 1:08:41
  and make yourself look good. Yeah, I don't know. It's it's
• 1:08:45
  something that it's a problem that's not going away. And I know a lot
• 1:08:48
  of states now are doing uh for college you can't prop bet college games anymore.
• 1:08:53
  You can only bet the lines. I think that's the way to go
• 1:08:55
  because these kids are so young naive. It doesn't clear up the problem though,
• 1:09:00
  just because I mean, like, no, they're still gonna bet.
• 1:09:02
  But like, you know, I'd hate to keep using Klingon's name. But
• 1:09:06
  like like I said, like you can't bet Clingons under on rebounds anymore.
• 1:09:12
  You can just bet Yukon to win, like you can't bet personal prop bets
• 1:09:15
  where you know, this is like going way back to when I was fucking
• 1:09:18
  booking. I had a guy that called me and my friend and I didn't
• 1:09:25
  know who he was. He was some big time bookie and he said,
• 1:09:28
  if you guys pay me a thousand dollars, I could be six guaranteed winners.
• 1:09:31
  So we all scratched up one thousand dollars and we got six six games.
• 1:09:34
  Hold on one second, Uh, where am I going to kline?
• 1:09:42
  And so we get this and it's like six of the most random teams and
• 1:09:46
  this is college football. They all hit. We didn't bet any of it.
• 1:09:51
  We just wanted to see, right, they all hit six and zero.
• 1:09:57
  So the guy calls us back, how'd you guys do? Just like,
• 1:10:00
  nah, we did great, all right, it's gonna be two thousand
• 1:10:02
  this week. My fuck, you know, like you know, but if
• 1:10:06
  we bet, so we did. We all chipped in six and oh again
• 1:10:11
  we stopped after that. We're like, listen, these guys are just gonna
• 1:10:13
  keep climbing the ladder on us and we can't. You know, there's got
• 1:10:15
  to be losers in here. Somehow. They were all getting paid these so
• 1:10:18
  these you take these teams that aren't in the national spotlight, you know,
• 1:10:23
  and what happens is is they pay off a cornerback to slip and fall,
• 1:10:30
  you know, running down the sidelines. We'll slip and fall or or on
• 1:10:33
  the you know. The quarterbacks are never paid like you know, it's it's
• 1:10:38
  a running back, it's a it's a skill position guy that you know,
• 1:10:42
  a guy can just drop a pass like you know, how many passes,
• 1:10:45
  how many pass drops you've seen? Like how do you not catch that?
• 1:10:47
  Right? You know? And it's like Townsend State, you know versus you
• 1:10:51
  know, like it's like these most randomst ones. So we bet enough to
• 1:10:56
  break even? Yeah yeah, yeah, So I mean, like there's still
• 1:11:01
  ways to do it. But the prop bets I think in college are just
• 1:11:04
  too easy to manipulate, Like, you know, like Purdue, the guy
• 1:11:12
  in Purdue, Zach Edy. You know, I think he was over under
• 1:11:15
  thirty points. He was averaging like thirty, you know, like he could
• 1:11:18
  just start hucking them up for his boys, Like it's not hard for him
• 1:11:23
  to get over you know, I don't know, It's just I just you
• 1:11:27
  know, or or lays say, everyone take the other night, and he's
• 1:11:29
  gonna start overshooting his little hook shots and not score right, miss a free
• 1:11:33
  throw. Yeah, you know, It's just it's I think, too easy
• 1:11:36
  to manipulate. And these kids are so young and it's just money and you
• 1:11:42
  know, they're they're in school and they're making the nil money, but their
• 1:11:45
  friends aren't, you know, and this is a way for them to help
• 1:11:47
  their buddies out. You know. That's that's kind of my take on it.
• 1:11:50
  And it's it's gonna get worse before it gets better, I think.
• 1:11:54
  Unfortunately. Well, I mean they're as much as they try to punish these
• 1:11:59
  guys, as much as they try to like say, they shouldn't do it.
• 1:12:02
  As soon as the prescott's over, you get the Allen iverson DraftKings commercial.
• 1:12:05
  So it's like you can't like you're the Kevin Garnett and Jamie Fox commercial.
• 1:12:11
  And then you know what I mean, like it's just always going to
• 1:12:13
  be there if you want, because they must make what hundreds of millions off
• 1:12:16
  the off the gambling revenue, you know what I mean, Like the money
• 1:12:20
  streams is going to be there. It's just you know, yeah, it's
• 1:12:25
  that's what it is, all right, So finish on oj Yeah, let's
• 1:12:30
  do it, all right, I'll start all right, real so kind of
• 1:12:34
  a thought, you know how you have those memories in your head of like
• 1:12:39
  you remember where you were, you know when that happened. So I think
• 1:12:42
  my first one was the Space Shuttle blowing up in eighty six. I remember
• 1:12:48
  that. That was like my first I'll never forget where I was. I
• 1:12:53
  was in second grade. No, I'm sorry, I was in I was
• 1:12:57
  in sixth grade, sixth grade because I was four. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:13:00
  I was in sixth grade and we were in the cafeteria and they wheeled in
• 1:13:04
  a TV whatever whatever. We all have our stories from that, people that
• 1:13:09
  are our age. You know. It's funny. By the way, my
• 1:13:11
  second grade teacher was Kristen McCall's college roommate. He was there. Oh wow
• 1:13:15
  there, Oh jeez, so I think o j I mean, i'd have
• 1:13:18
  to think harder. Was kind of my second. I was actually watching the
• 1:13:23
  the of the first part, uh, the White Bronco part, you know,
• 1:13:28
  the Knicks game was on the NBA. I was at my ex girlfriend.
• 1:13:32
  Yep. I was at my ex girlfriend's house. Were sitting on the
• 1:13:34
  couch and they kept cutting back and forth and it was fascinating. And then
• 1:13:39
  I was got to the point where I wanted him to cut back to the
• 1:13:43
  chase instead of the game, Like I'm like, I think they did.
• 1:13:45
  I think they did. Yeah. Yeah. I was just like, no,
• 1:13:47
  I want to see more of the chase. And they're like, they
• 1:13:48
  got a gun. He's got a goun to his head. He's got a
• 1:13:50
  gun to his head. So that was also. Don't forget that was the
• 1:13:54
  Rangers great day yep, New York. Oh yeah, it was a whole
• 1:13:57
  like thirty for thirty on all that shit. Yeah. Yeah. Arnold Palmer's
• 1:14:00
  last Masters, the US Open. It was his last major. Oh US
• 1:14:06
  Open, Yeah, it's the Masters now. Yeah. Fun fact, by
• 1:14:10
  the way, that was my last day of high school. Oh yeah,
• 1:14:14
  that was the last day of high school. We graduated the following Sunday.
• 1:14:17
  So then let's fast forward to the trial and the day of this of the
• 1:14:24
  verdict, I was, oh, it was all day, every day it
• 1:14:28
  was. It was comedy Central pretty much. And I met the college dorms
• 1:14:33
  at University New Haven and it was pretty diverse there. There was you know,
• 1:14:39
  a lot of blacks, a lot of whites, a lot of Asians,
• 1:14:42
  very diverse community. And I just remember looking out my window and the
• 1:14:46
  verdict is about to come out, and some dude throughout the window a jug
• 1:14:51
  of orange juice on a noose and just dangled it out the fucking dorm,
• 1:14:58
  third floor dorm window, and then the verdict came out and you just saw
• 1:15:01
  him like pull it up really quick because he was awesome. And that was
• 1:15:05
  just like my lasting memory of the whole thing is everyone is glued to their
• 1:15:09
  television sets for this fucking verdict. I don't I'm with you on the chase.
• 1:15:14
  I remember exactly where I was sitting. I remember like we were we
• 1:15:16
  were at a party. Last day school. I'll never forget it. The
• 1:15:20
  uh. Then the next couple of days when they were doing like you know,
• 1:15:26
  pre trial hearings and he was in court. I remember that. I
• 1:15:29
  do remember. I didn't watch it live, but you obviously remember the video
• 1:15:32
  of if it doesn't fake, you must have quit of course. Yeah.
• 1:15:34
  Yeah, I like the gloves didn't fit, but he was trying. Oh
• 1:15:39
  yeah no, he was like purposely like see like I can't get over my
• 1:15:42
  palm. Yeah. And then I remember where we were, like I do
• 1:15:46
  remember the verdict. I remember them reading the verdict. I remember him being
• 1:15:49
  not guilty, and I remember when they I met. I do you remember
• 1:15:55
  like when they said Orenthal. Yeah, it was weird. They're like,
• 1:15:59
  yeah, we find the defendant orenthalo Jy. I'm like, who the fuck
• 1:16:02
  are they talking about. It's the first time I ever heard his name other
• 1:16:06
  than OJ. But I think about it like we knew him growing up as
• 1:16:11
  like the Hurts guy, and he was the Hurts commercial. Yeah he was
• 1:16:15
  yeah, yeah, Norburg, Yeah, he was all these things. Yeah,
• 1:16:19
  And it was just like it was just weird watching it. And I
• 1:16:21
  remember like Bob Costas and doctor J like there was a video of them and
• 1:16:28
  they were like basically like crying watching the chase. Yeah, because he was
• 1:16:32
  he was their boy, and then they all kind of were just like Wow.
• 1:16:35
  There was like hot mic stuff with Bob Costas too, like during that,
• 1:16:39
  and he was getting pissed. He's like, are we gonna fucking when
• 1:16:42
  we get when? Are we coming back on? When we coming back on?
• 1:16:44
  Because he was mister NBC back then. Yeah, And they had the
• 1:16:46
  playoffs. Yeah that by the way, anybody want to watch them? That
• 1:16:51
  great? Oh, it's it's really good. It's it's really I think it's
• 1:16:56
  what's it called? Just the date, right, it's like June June seventeen
• 1:16:59
  nineteen. Yeah, And there's no like a like the way the guy did
• 1:17:02
  it. There's no announcer, like, it's all just live media clips from
• 1:17:06
  when it happened. And you know what's funny because obviously, like when he
• 1:17:11
  died, I started like reading stuff because there was articles everywhere. All the
• 1:17:15
  stuff he said from the Bronco was ruled inadmissible a trial, right, so
• 1:17:20
  none of the phone profession or anything, you know, none of that was
• 1:17:29
  ruled like ADMISSI And just like reading through the internet Internet last night and today,
• 1:17:34
  I like it reminds it's it's gonna force I shouldn't say remind it's going
• 1:17:39
  to foreshadow almost like when Trump dies, it's like it's just so divide or
• 1:17:44
  like when rush Limbaugh died, Like there are people that are just like,
• 1:17:48
  I'm kind of like, I think I'm a believer that he killed her,
• 1:17:53
  but but it's just it's it's fast. I just think it's fascinating. And
• 1:17:58
  then how he kind of got like a revet, like they kind of got
• 1:18:00
  revenge on him in that second trial of the Stolen Goods. Yeah, and
• 1:18:05
  that year and a half, right, and you know, it's just everyone's
• 1:18:11
  just like, fuck you, you're dead, and you know, and he
• 1:18:13
  still has friends, and I guess his kids and grandkids were at his bedside,
• 1:18:17
  and you know, he kind of he kind of made a second kind
• 1:18:21
  of weird internet career before he passed away, and he just he's just one
• 1:18:27
  of those divided personalities that we grew up with. And you know, I
• 1:18:31
  just I'm like, I'm like, Trump's next. You know, Trump's not
• 1:18:34
  going to live more than ten years, and I think he'll get he and
• 1:18:38
  Trump will get so much more vitriol than OJ gain Oj actually physically slat,
• 1:18:45
  like to the point where he almost cut their heads off, killed them,
• 1:18:47
  you know, like he's aitator. It was like hanging on by. Yeah.
• 1:18:51
  It's so funny because if you look back on it with all the crime
• 1:18:55
  scene ever, like Bill Simmons once wrote this and it clicked with me,
• 1:19:00
  OJ got away with it was it was a pre CSI world. So like
• 1:19:04
  the TV show CSI taught us about crime scenes, we didn't know any of
• 1:19:09
  that stuff. So like there was evidence everywhere. There was like so much
• 1:19:14
  like his DNA everything was all over the place. We didn't know that though,
• 1:19:17
  And so like I made the joke yesterday, I was like, if
• 1:19:20
  that was today, he'd get the death penalty. Yeah, yeah, he
• 1:19:25
  would. He would have given the death penalty, but he walked. And
• 1:19:30
  it's just so funny. Like I will say this, the one thing I
• 1:19:32
  felt bad for was his kids because not only did I mean their mother gets
• 1:19:40
  brutally murdered, they went through that whole trial, they went through everything,
• 1:19:44
  right yeah, and then now that he's dead, they're going through it all
• 1:19:47
  over again, right Like this, That's what Ron Goldman's dad said. You
• 1:19:51
  know, he's like, yeah, he's dead, he's gonna die eventually,
• 1:19:54
  but now I got to relive all this shit. Yeah, you know exactly,
• 1:19:58
  And that's like the same thing for his kids. And it's so funny
• 1:20:00
  because he ended up with custody of those kids after the trial. Yeah,
• 1:20:04
  her parents, her family, Yeah yeah, yep, but he ended up
• 1:20:09
  with cuss. But like, you feel bad for the kids because not only
• 1:20:12
  is their dad O. J. Simpson and it was like the most I
• 1:20:15
  don't even know, like the most notorious court case of all time, and
• 1:20:18
  it was trial of the century, that's for sure. Yeah, and it
• 1:20:21
  was. But now they had they have to relive all that and now both
• 1:20:27
  their parents are dead. So it's like, and I saw something Ron his
• 1:20:30
  Goldman's dad's lawyer said, they're still trying to find OJ's money. Yeah.
• 1:20:35
  Well, you know, as we were talking, I had a little blurb
• 1:20:38
  that came down that he's he died with one hundred and fourteen million dollars in
• 1:20:41
  debt. Yeah, I meant I was gonna Actually I'm glad he said that
• 1:20:45
  because one of the little banners came down and it's oh shit, I know,
• 1:20:49
  I know he got due to like the NFL their their pension. He
• 1:20:56
  got thirty five thousand dollars a month from the pension. But there was something
• 1:21:00
  I read where legally Goldman's family couldn't touch it, no one can touch it,
• 1:21:06
  right, Yeah, I don't know. I mean I haven't thought about
• 1:21:10
  O Jane so long, you know, until until yesterday. And I was
• 1:21:12
  like, holy shit, brought up a lot of memories of high school,
• 1:21:15
  college and well, yeah, yeah, grew up through it all right.
• 1:21:21
  So I texted you the other night. We'll finish on this. I texted
• 1:21:24
  you the other night about my little Uh, I'm just bored and uh trying
• 1:21:28
  to collect all these Patriot quarterback cards. Yeah. So uh, I already
• 1:21:33
  have Brady, right, I have his rookie. I already have Bled so
• 1:21:36
  got that years ago. Obviously I got a million Matt Jones. They're worth
• 1:21:42
  fucking pennies now. So what came in the mail yesterday was so the kind
• 1:21:46
  of way, the way I'm doing it is they have to be the quarterback
• 1:21:50
  had to have the most starts in that season an a season for me to
• 1:21:55
  get their card. Okay, So I got a Matt Castle card autograph left.
• 1:22:00
  Now, all this shit's pretty cheap because you know, so he you
• 1:22:02
  know, he started sixteen games or fifteen games that year, Okay, so
• 1:22:08
  he made the cut on the way, I got Doug Flutie, Tony Eason,
• 1:22:16
  I got to autographed Steve Grogan card coming, a Cam Newton one of
• 1:22:21
  one card coming. I have plenty of Drake Mays. Should he be drafted?
• 1:22:28
  And I'm trying to think, Oh, Hugh Millan, Mi, uh,
• 1:22:32
  did you get a Scott See? So I was thinking of either should
• 1:22:36
  I get both Scott's. I mean, neither of them had the most starts
• 1:22:40
  in the season. But Zolac was there, you know, four or five
• 1:22:44
  years, Sequels was there, two or three Lac the two and fourteen year
• 1:22:49
  under different McPherson. Zolac was the one that won those two games. Okay,
• 1:22:54
  I'll get I'll throw Solac a bone. Yeah, because he threw for
• 1:22:57
  like three hundred something yards at Atlanta that year. Yeah. And Flutie actually
• 1:23:01
  led us in starts one year. He had two stints with us though what
• 1:23:06
  was the strike year though, wasn't it? It might have been? Yeah,
• 1:23:10
  he only had seven starts. I think there was twelve games or something.
• 1:23:13
  Yeah, but yeah, and then but then there's like, you know,
• 1:23:15
  some guys I couldn't even fucking I'm like, oh, I forgot about
• 1:23:18
  that guy. But you know, one star, I'm not going to waste
• 1:23:20
  my money in those guys, even if there's even cards from them I could
• 1:23:23
  find, but it should be complete, and I guess I'll get the Scott
• 1:23:27
  cards and then I'll call it a day. Might as well, but yeah,
• 1:23:31
  that's my little Uh, since I've been alive, I didn't want to
• 1:23:34
  go before seventy four. Oh oh oh, I got plunktkt I got plunkets.
• 1:23:40
  It was before so he was his last year was seventy four with the
• 1:23:43
  Patriots. When I was born, he was the number one overall I did.
• 1:23:46
  He was nineteen seventy two. I got his rookie card that actually had
• 1:23:50
  a little value to it. I was surprised. I mean I got it.
• 1:23:53
  It's already graded. So, by the way, do you know who
• 1:23:57
  the other you know who? The other number one overall picks we had were
• 1:24:00
  well bled cell was one Irving Friar, Irving Friar, hold on, hold
• 1:24:05
  on, hold on what position? Uh? The tackle? Yeah it was
• 1:24:14
  Russell Maryland. Remember that was the year that we had the number one overall
• 1:24:19
  pick and rocket Ish Metal didn't want to play here, so we went to
• 1:24:23
  Canada first. Remember that? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but he
• 1:24:27
  sucked in the NFL too, Yeah, what didn't he? No, he
• 1:24:31
  wasn't the one, was he the one that ran back the two? No?
• 1:24:33
  Who was that against? Okay? Yeah, man, so yeah,
• 1:24:41
  that's uh. And I'm staring at some nice Drake May's over there, so
• 1:24:45
  it's I mean, either way, either way, they'll be good because they're
• 1:24:46
  North Carolina cards. But yeah, I gotta get a autographed somehow. Anyway,
• 1:24:54
  Hey man, sure he'll be at Yeah, he'll be at our card
• 1:24:56
  show. Yeah he will. It's these guys, these Trevor Laura gets four
• 1:25:00
  hundred dollars to sign one of his cards. Jesus, I mean it not
• 1:25:04
  anymore last year, at the beginning of last year, if you did it,
• 1:25:06
  you would have made money. Now it's you know, he's got it.
• 1:25:10
  He's got to perform. Now he's at the year four. You gotta
• 1:25:12
  perform or these or these collectors just don't care. You know, think about
• 1:25:16
  every every of the five quarterbacks in that draft. Only one of them is
• 1:25:19
  still a starter. That's so crazy, and and and San Francis and three
• 1:25:28
  three of them have been traded already, and the fourth probably will be traded
• 1:25:31
  and Zach Wilson or he's gonna get just flat out cut worst QB draft of
• 1:25:36
  all time. It's up there. It's got to be up there, absolutely
• 1:25:40
  absolutely with the hype that it came. Yeah, five first round quarterbacks and
• 1:25:45
  here we are again. So what happens with this one? This one doesn't
• 1:25:46
  doesn't repeat that one, and we're in both of them, you know what
• 1:25:49
  I mean? Three years apart? Ship All right, buddy, I gotta
• 1:25:55
  get going. I gotta go home, meet launch shower, go to work.
• 1:25:58
  All right, Well, I'm glad we could do this. I haven't.
• 1:26:00
  You know. It's funny. I haven't done a sports show in like
• 1:26:01
  a month and a half. Oh wow, really, I haven't done.
• 1:26:04
  I've been doing other things. Yeah, it's fun. I like, I
• 1:26:06
  like diverting from sports sometimes, so like, I love doing the sports shows.
• 1:26:11
  But at the same time, there's been some other stuff I've done and
• 1:26:14
  it's pretty cool. Like a girl I've known for a long time came on.
• 1:26:16
  She works for the AFSA, the American Foundation for Suicide or whatever.
• 1:26:24
  She came on. I learned a ton of stuff from it. Was it
• 1:26:26
  was pretty cool. So I've been trying to do a little bit different,
• 1:26:29
  you know. Yeah. I had the girl on Wednesday. She's the she's
• 1:26:33
  the booking agent for the Steve Wilco Show. She made me take it down
• 1:26:39
  off of like I didn't. I had to remove it from YouTube and I
• 1:26:43
  kept the audio one up so you can still listen to it on uh on
• 1:26:45
  the audio side. But she got a little nervous because she has NDAs and
• 1:26:49
  stuff through work, and I'm like, you're the one that reached out to
• 1:26:51
  me. She's awesome girl, but she's like, you know what, I
• 1:26:55
  think my colleagues are just fucking with me. I'm like, we didn't say
• 1:26:57
  anything bad about him or no give any trade secrets away. It was everything
• 1:27:00
  I found off of Wikipedia, you know, like anyone could research this shit
• 1:27:05
  on their own. So all right, Bud, have a great weekend,
• 1:27:09
  you too. Let's hope the Socks can go three and one, three and
• 1:27:13
  one. Let's do three and one. Yeah, we'll be ten and seven
• 1:27:15
