• 0:11
  Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you about that. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing, two
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that have not had a good season. Man with wookends
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues. I've
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: browins hack Man, I don't know what is going on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with the Bruins arch hape? Is that what it is?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I don't even know it's it's March ninth, I think
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: who even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: back with you after the worst day that I could
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: possibly have, Back with you as I always am until
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I die, at least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it did not go well for me. Own five. The
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen years
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: doing this. I don't know what to even tell you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about this anymore. To the slump, the slump discontinuous, the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: slump continues. Somebody fucking kill me, please. I don't even
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: know what I should do at this point other than
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: potentially end it all. What's up, everybody, It's towed back
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with you. This is better off dead. Uh. I gotta
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: change the day with this thing. This is gonna be
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the college basketball preview show for the opening day of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: college basketball. It is absolute chaos, dude. Like I typically
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: have no plays on this day because I like to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: let the season kind of get into a little bit
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit and try to figure it out. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't know of them to land on any plays, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna figure it out because I'm gonna
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: at least kind of talk about some of the big
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: games that are tomorrow. Looking at this schedule like it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is the most overwhelming day of college basketball, Like Saturdays
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: are one thing where Saturdays are total chaos. I try
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to get the Saturday stuff done like the night beforehand
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and whatever, so I'm probably gonna have to do Saturday
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: night or excuse me, Friday night basketball shows if I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: do this. Last year, I was just giving out all
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: my plays in the morning, pretty much after I did
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all the handicapping the previous night. Tomorrow is a full day,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: like college basketball is literally the entire day starting at
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: eight am Eastern. But I'm gonna talk about, well, I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about like just kind of predictions even though
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know shit, and there are just so many
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: transfers now that like I have to let the season
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: start and like see what happens, man, because you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I look at I look for situations, so I try
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to like figure things out that way. I've got a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: little scruff coming back in, by the way, so my
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: face doesn't look as bad right now. So there we go, Charles,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: what's up, man, Pinzy, what's up? Huge weekend? That's good
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: because I did not. I had a losing Saturday and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: today was a slight win only because the first two
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: huge NFL underdogs both went out right. And I always
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: recommend putting stuff on the money line. It depended on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: how you play the hockey game, really, because you either
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: had a push or a loss on that hockey game.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm very pissed about it. Yeah, we're gonna We're
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: gonna let the season marinate a little bit. Mad Dog,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: what's up man, Thanks for hanging out. Mad Dog. By
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the way, fun time being on that guy's space. He
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: does spaces that are pretty much chaos. I think I've
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned it on this show before. Actually the Golden Shower
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Power Are which I don't believe that he did not
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: make that as an homage to the Tower Power Hour,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the former Tower Gang name. But let's get into it, man,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to like, I'm just gonna go first.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through the odds for the season for
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through all the all the conferences that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: are up here. It's really just the big conferences though,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so I mean, I'm probably gonna wind up having opinions
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on the small conferences too, but I'm just gonna kind
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of go through these. You bet the bigger money line
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: on the Red Wings, all right, Well, good for you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They should have won. I mean, like they dominated the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: game statistically, They won like sixty three percent of the faceoffs,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and they have more shots in the game, and they
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: never trailed in the game. So I'm pretty pissed that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it was an overtime win. Tower Gang yes, yes, sir,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: all right, So I'm gonna do a few different things
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: so we can look at So I actually brought up
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the the top twenty five to start the season, which
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is somewhat interesting. So I have this, and then I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: actually have Ken Palm's rankings. Although Ken bomb when he
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't have any stats yet for the season, I mean,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you gotta take his ratings with a grain of salt.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But I pay for his website, as I bring up.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I bring that up every year. I mean, I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's only like twenty or thirty bucks a year, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: think at this point, so it's definitely worth it to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: get his power ratings because he does a good job.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Is Power ratings are awesome. You have him. And then
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Bart Torvik does a good job as well, and I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: think his site is pretty much free. And then Evan Maya,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I forget Maya is short for whatever the hell his
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: last name is. His site is an up and comer
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: as well. He's good as well. He has a lot
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of paid content on his site. And I find his
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: site just a little a little bit difficult to navigate.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm old school, so I stick with Ken Bom.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna see ken Bom having discrepancies with what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the AP is saying and the coaches poll, because these guys,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just like in football, of course, the rankings makers, they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. They just go based on
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: what they think and just start the season. It's all
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: just based on talent level and whatever. And you're gonna
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: see like discrepancies between this and like the odds as well,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: like to win the conferences. So we can see here
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Purdue is actually ranked number one in both polls, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: looking here right away, ken Bom actually does not have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Purdue as the number one team. He has them as
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the three. He's got Houston on Florida two and Purdue three,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So right away it's kind of there's already a little
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: bit of a disparity there. But Purdue certainly one of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the top rated teams to start the season at the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: very least, and as I always tend to point out,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: these ratings actually tend to kind of come back full
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: circle like at the end of the season. Like usually
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you actually want to look at teams that were predicted
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to be really good to start the season that are
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: still good but not as good as they were thought
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to be. Kind of those teams usually tend to actually
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do pretty well, like in the March Madness Tournament and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, or just something to keep in mind,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: or I should say the reverse is actually more of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the case where teams that are not listed here right
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: now that wind up getting into the rankings and they're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: like really high towards the end of the season, they
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: usually don't do very well. Yukon has been the one
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: real exception to that. They've done it multiple times. They've
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: won championships and they weren't even ranked or they were
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: ranked really low preseason. It's very very rare though. In
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Florida was I think twenty first in the rankings season
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: last year, and that's why I kind of expected them
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to drop off, and they won. The whole thing. Got
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit lucky, I think, beating Yukon, in beating
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Thank you, Charles. I gotta get back on track, though,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, at least it was a winning day today slightly,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: so maybe that's considered to be back on track. But anyway, Yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we can see here Purdue must have like a lot
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of returning starters, because why else would they be ranked
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: number one? Yeah. Kaufman Wren Smith and Lawyer are all
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: expected to return again, so that's pretty crazy. Dude. Why
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: did ESPN like this stupid footer? I hate this thing?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Why are they doing this? This footer is taking up
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like so much of the of the h If I refreshed,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: this will go away. Yeah, like it popped up and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it would just it just stayed there. Fucking ESPN, dude,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I hate that anyway. Purdue, Yeah, they have a ton
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of returning starters here for Purdue though, so I don't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: know where they just went, but yeah, so and of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: course ESPN did that again fuckers. But anyway, you can
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: see here like they're gonna have an really really experienced
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: backcourt with like their guards all coming back and whatever.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They might suffer on the interior again because of course
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Zach Edie or a couple of years removed from that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Are they worthy of the number one ranking? I mean,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it looks like they're close. Houston is gonna be really
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: good again. I mean under Kelvin Sampson there, they've been
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: really good. It looks like they're gonna lose Cryer though
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Cryer was one and Roberts, so they're actually losing some
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: decent production. They're those two guys a huge part of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: their team. They have a decent amount of returning starters
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: behind them though, And this is kind of what Houston does.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They like bring back, They like take guys that were
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: kind of bench guys, and their roles just kind of escalating.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They're used to the system and whatever. So they're in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a pretty good position as well. College basketball, these big teams,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like so many of them don't have a lot of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: continuity anymore because of the transfers and whatever, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the seams to wind up reloading.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But I tend to prefer like more continuity. Like I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: think teams that reload guys have to like learn a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: new system, and I think it takes a little bit
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: too long for that to happen. So I like situations
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: like this where like a lot of their guys are
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: gonna just take on bigger roles in the same system
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it looks like, So I think that's good as well.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So if you can find like a website that shows
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you like that, like basically like like a number that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: reflects like the actual like continuity there, maybe Evan Maya
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: has something like that. That's what I would look for.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And Florida is still up there. I mean Florida, they're
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be good again obviously wherever they're at here. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: don't want to go through every one of these teams.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the conferences real quick too, But again,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I don't really know a ton about the dude. Come on, man,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Florida Gators. There you go. So they're gonna lose Clayton,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: who was like their star player last year, so that's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: not great, but some of their guys are coming back,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and of course hand gloating, he was like injured and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: missed the postseason two years ago. I think he had
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a broken leg, so I don't even know if he
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: he basically like didn't even play last year. I don't think.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be interesting with him coming back. Is
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: he's the big guy, and then because he is one
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of their big guys, and then I think, don't they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: have another guy who Yeah, I forget that. They have
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: one guy who's just like ridiculously tall. I forget who
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that guy is, but is he still there? I don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which guy that is. They have a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: guy who's like whatever, like what is he seven foot
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: nine or something like that? Where is that guy at
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Is he one of these guys? I don't know, so
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: we'll have to see. But that's I don't see. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: don't think I recognize his name on here. And then
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of course you can actually see the transfers here too.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: They're actually getting boogie Flaan do I call Flanders from Arkansas?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He's been around. And Xavian Lee, who actually saw play
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit because I was watching some of those
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: IVY League games Princeton. He's a very good shooter, which
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is kind of what you expect from uh from uh,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you know, these ivys. So yeah, I mean Florida's gonna
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: be pretty stacked again, there's no question about that. Are
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they gonna be as good? Are they gonna like make
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like run to another championship? I doubt it? Yeah, ESPN
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is woke their own by Disney, so JC, what's up?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: NBA's rigged? Yeah, yeah, being that tall kind of ridiculous.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I want to somebody can like, uh, you know, if
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they know what that guy's name is, they can help
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: me out on that because I just have I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: even remember man. And then you got you know, Yukon
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is actually up near the top again after they had
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: kind of a down year last year. So Connecticut, I mean,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they lost some of their production last year. You know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they're gonna reload again just because they're Dan Hurley. Maybe
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they're listed as Yukon here, Yeah, Yukon Huskies. It looks
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: like they're losing a lot of their production from last
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: year too though. But they're bringing back Caravan again. So
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: he's like the one real consistent through like the last
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: few years. He was on the championship team. Couple of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: years back, I saw him play a live. They're bringing
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: in a lot of transfers again, I don't really know
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: who a lot of these guys are though, some of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: them coming from smaller schools too, so this one's gonna
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: be interesting. And then they have some top recruits coming
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: into so I mean this ESPN, I mean, it's not
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: too bad to look at this, but so those are
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: like the top four teams, and then Saint John's Duke
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you know, are listed as the other ones here. You know, again,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go through all of this, but
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Saint John's they don't even have them, oh that they are,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna lose r. J. Lewis. It was one
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: of their and Kadari Richmond, So they're losing some production there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Those are two of their best players returning at GEO four.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know even pronounce his name, EDGO four. They're
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: bringing in Bryce Hopkins though that's a big incoming transfer.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: He was at Providence and then he was I believe
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: he was at I want to say Kentucky prior to that.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: If I got that right, i'd lose track man with
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: all the transfers everywhere. So they have a big incoming
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: transfer class though even besides him, it's gonna be a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: pretty solid transfer class. But again, guys have to learn
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a new system, right, So I don't like, I don't
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: necessarily like the lack of continuity, and that comes into
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: play early on too. And then Duke is listed near
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the top two. But we don't even have to look
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: at Duke, like we basically know they lost Cooper Flag,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: they lost Conker Nipple the nipple, Uh, so you know
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Duke is gonna have a lot of I think they're
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of growing paints man, when they
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: lose that much production. Let's take a look at the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: odds here though, So the odds to win these conference
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: is the ACC Duke is actually still the favorite to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: win the conference at a plus one sixty five. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Olivia Riu, Yes, he is he still? There? Is he
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: listed there? Where's he at? Yeah? That is his name?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Because I expected him to play this year because he
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was on I think he was on their team and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: didn't play last year. Where is he at? Is he
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just gone? I don't even see him listed on here,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: so I don't know. I don't know what the deal
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is with him at that point. You can let me
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: know where he's at now, Bobby, what's up man? Last
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: two to three weeks? Oh, thank you, sir. I'm getting
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: getting a bunch of newcomers. I love it. Thanks for
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: letting me know. Man, thanks for commenting. I think I'm
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: like way too long winded. Really. You know you've hit
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it at the right time, though, because I've been pretty
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: good the last couple of weeks, although not the last
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: couple of days, dude, Reu. I mean, I know he like,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I think he agreed like to go to Florida, But
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: maybe he's like so young that he's still just not
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: even on the team yet. I don't know. I thought
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he was gonna play this year, but maybe not anyway,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I would go with the team other than Duke to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: win the ACC is what I was gonna say, because
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I think Duke just with all that turnover, I mean, yeah,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it's Duke. Yeah, they're gonna be in the mix there. Yeah,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be good as the season progresses, for sure,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: once the guys get used to playing with each other.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I mean, Louisville's not that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: far behind him at plus two hundred, and we know
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Louisville looked good last year. They were like basically the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: second best team last year. Let me see here, they're
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: losing a couple of guys Edwards Junior. They're actually losing
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of their productions. So I don't know, man,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I don't love this either. They're bringing back Hadley is
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: like the best guy. They're bringing him back in prior,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: so that's like their big production that they're bringing back
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of transfers here, So I don't know. There
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is a lot of turnover there on that team too, man,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So maybe you actually want to dig even a little
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: bit deeper here. NC State is at seven to one
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and kind of surprised him because since they lost DJ Burns, who,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: by the way, is I think in the Charlotte Hornets,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: like G League or something like that. He's a g
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, that guy is so fat, dude, DJ Burns.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: He was so fun to watch on NC State though
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in that tournament run. He's just a He's just fat.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he plays as well as he does.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And then U n C. I mean there, you gotta
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: figure UNC is gonna be in the mix. I mean,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they really underperform last year. They're at eight and a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: half to one, So what does ken Bom say about this?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, so definitely something to look at ken Bum.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean he has the usual. He
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: has Duke ranked as the best team in the conference.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: He has Louisville not that far behind though, But of
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: course we have no stats to go on so far,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: so this is all just preseason ratings here, but still
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: interesting to see. So I don't know. I mean, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: might even take a stab with the NC State or
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: North Carolina here just because well, NC State looks like
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of production departing as well. It
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: looks like their entire team is turning over. They're bringing
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: in a huge transfer class though, so we'll see what
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: happens with them. And then so what about North Carolina? Yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: North Carolina is a lot These teams are all not
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: bringing back a lot of production. Man, North Carolina's losing RJ. Davis,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: who was their best player last year. I don't know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe I take that back. I don't love any I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: don't love any of the teams that are up near
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the top actually as far as continuity. But I guess
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that's just the new college of basketball. I gotta just
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: get used to it. I guess I don't know, man,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would probably fade Duke, but I just
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: don't even know who I would want to pick to
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: win this conference, even though ken Bum does have them
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: listed as the best team. You know, maybe I would
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: just take the shot with Louisville just because they're kind
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of the up and comer and they have the second
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: best odds, and I just want to fade Duke just
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: because the public is just gonna be on Duke anyway. Probably.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I don't really do futures though, so I don't know.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And then Virginia's at eighteen to one, Clemson twenty two
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to one. I think Clemson is on the way down.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Again though after being up a little bit a couple
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: of years, SMU and Clemson excuse the SMU and Miami
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: coming in behind them. I don't know. I don't know
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: about any of that. Google says, were you was on
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the Gators. Yeah, maybe he's just not listed there on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that ESPN thing because well, because I guess he's not
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: an incoming. Well he's a red shirt freshman. I guess right,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: because I think the team had him last year but
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: he didn't play at all. Oh yeah, these tall guys
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: are definitely injury prone. But I do what I love seeing,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like these tall guys just go out and do ridiculous
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: shit in college basketball just because they're just towering over everyone.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: It's even funnier in like smaller conferences, Like you remember
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that huge white guy that was on Oral Roberts, like
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when they had that ridiculous
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: regular season and lost almost no games. They might have
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: run the table in their conference, and then they lost
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to Duke in the tournament. You remember that a couple
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of years ago, they had some really tall white guy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It was just hilarious to watch that guy. Great college
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: teams in North Carolina, but the Hornets are bad. Well,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the Hornets are an expansion team, man. The real Hornets
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: are the New Orleans Pelicans. Other they're not doing well either.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: The American Conference does have odds here. I mean, I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: just find them to be a very uninteresting conference though
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they've been a bad conference last couple of years. Man,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: since Florida Atlantic had that nice couple of years there.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That was kind of a fluke ish, I guess. And
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: then of course Florida Atlantic they're FAU. They're a coach
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: at that point, Dusty May or whatever, not dust and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: May the pitcher. It was not very good in Major
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. Dusty May. I think he's at Michigan. He
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: was coaching at Michigan last year, so FAU was taking
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a step down since then. Memphis has the best odds
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to win that conference at two and a half to one.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Not exactly surprising. It seems like they're pretty much right
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: there at the top of the conference every year. South
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Florida maybe on the way up a little bit, and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: there are only two plus two eighty, so two point
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: eight to one, I guess, with Memphis two point two
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to one, and then North Texas at plus five hundred
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: behind that in Tulane at seven to one, UAB ten
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to one, Temple fifteen to one for Jeffrey are a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia guy there. So I mean, those are the teams
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that are really kind of in the mix right now
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: as far as the odds are concerned. It seems like
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Memphis is always doing it, so I would kind of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: want to fade Memphis. Memphis is always like overrated too though,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: so I don't know, man, South Florida seems like they're
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: kind of on the way up a little bit. I
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: don't know if I want to go into that much detail,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like looking at all these teams and who they're bringing back.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: But North Texas is just this team that just plays.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: They play so slow and so ugly that it throws
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: teams off at the very least. Let's just Memphis. They
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: have a lot of guys leaving. They have no guys
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: expected to return from Memphis. Man, they're losing Dane Danger too. Man,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: he was fun to watch. I saw him live on
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: when he was on Illinois. He was kind of fun
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to watch. So yeah, I would fade Memphis. It looks
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: like they're gonna have some growing pains there at least
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: early on. But again, with these teams that have like
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: tons of personnel shifting around you, you do want to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: look to fade them early in the season. So that's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: kind of a spot that I kind of look for
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: when you have one of these big conference teams. It's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: going to be public, but they have all these guys
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that don't have chemistry with each other, and they're playing
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: against a small conference team. It's like bringing back all
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: their players and of all these returning starters, you know
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: what I mean, that's kind of what you want to
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: look for in these first games. So South Florida, Yeah,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: where are we at here? South Florida Bulls, come on.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: They're not even like they're not even listed on this page.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So that's great. And then North Texas I don't think
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it is either, although you can see they have some
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: guys that are leaving. Those two teams. I don't know, man,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I would go with probably one of those two teams though,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to win the American if I was going, do you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: know me, I don't like to go with the top
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: team the Big twelve. I might make an exception. Houston's
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: plus one sixty to win it, so they're right there again.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And Houston, I mean they're losing a couple of their
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: top guys, but they're doing what they do every year,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and they're bringing I think they have this like core
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of players that just keeps getting more and more experience
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: every year. So they're top guys one year, some of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: them will leave. The next guys in line kind of
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: just move up again and know the system already. That's
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: how Houston does it. So I actually, in the Big twelve,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I would probably kind of still lean to Houston winning
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: this conference. You got BYU next at plus four twenty five,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you know me. I mean, I'm not a huge BYU guy.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Ken Bum does have them eighteenth right now. They're always
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: like a really good offense and a not very good defense,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: so I don't like that. Houston usually a very very
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: good defense, and their offense has actually started improving the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. Texas Tech in the mix at
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: plus five fifty in Kansas, of course, is kind of
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: always there at plus six fifty, but Kansas they're gonna
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: have to make some changes there. Man. Texas Tech is
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: interesting because they were really good last year, but they're
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: losing McMillan, who I thought was their best player last
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: year Williams. Those guys are leaving, they're getting Top and back,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: not Obie Top and JT Topping, so they at least
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: have one of their big players coming back. So I
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know about Texas Tech. I think
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Houston is still the team to beat in this conference.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Man BYU again, I just I don't love b y you.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they have for returning starters there.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It looks like they don't have a ton of returning
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: production either. I mean a lot of their guys are leaving.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: They're bringing back Saunders though, who was their best score,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So there is that. And then I also want to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: find like some of these ridiculous names again too. And
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: then I told you this show is gonna be just
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: me shooting the shit man, like, I don't know if
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: any of this information is even that good, and I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: don't I'm not a future guy. And then we have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: what was the other team I was looking at? Oh, Kansas? Yeah,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I mean Kansas. They're losing a lot of guys. They're
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: using a hundred dick losing Hunter Dickinson. You know, I'm
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: not a Dickinson fan at all. Uh, they have some
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of their like lower on the Totem Bowl. Guys are returning,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: so those guys might get elevated roles this year. But
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: they're losing a lot of guys, so they're gonna have
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of growing pains there as well. So I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. I mean, and then well, Iowa
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: State in Arizona, I guess they're gonna be in the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: mix too. I was stay at eight to one, Arizona
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: at nine to one, Iowa State, I mean, they were
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: really good last year and then they just ran into
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. They're gonna lose Gilbert this year.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: He was one of their guards. Last year. He was
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: one of the guys who was injured a lot, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: so was Jones, So they're losing both those guys. It
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: looks like they are keeping Mumsilovich, who was one of
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: their like I think bigger men. Uh so he's coming
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: back at least and Jefferson, I guess, so Iowa State,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: you know, may still be in the mix there. And
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: then Arizona's Arizona losing Caleb Love of course, who was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: pretty much their star player last year. They're not bringing
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: back a lot of production here. But again, you also
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: got to look at transfers and incoming freshmen here as well.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: But I don't know much about many of these guys,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: so I still think that's Houston's conference to lose. And
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: then Big East Saint John's is at plus one twenty
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and U kind of plus one twenty five. So those
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: look it looks like it's sort of between those those
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: two teams right now. But yeah, Dusty may oh gross,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: yeah he's he's an eighty year old born star. Yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: BYU Pyu, yeah Pu. Yeah, they stink, that's right. I
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: just they're not a team that profiles like a team
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that I like, you know what. I just don't like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: these teams that don't play defense. That's just the way
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I am. I'm old school, and to me, it just
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: seems like they're always overrated. Like where's BYU. They're at
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: eighth in the country right now, but kem Bam has
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: them like somewhere in the teams. Yeah, I don't know.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just not loving it, man, And you can see,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you know, the rest of these I don't know if
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: there are really any any teams being in here that
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: really surprised me. I mean not really, you know, I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: don't really see any teams in here where I'm like,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: what is that team doing here? Except I do think
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: BYU being in the top ten is somewhat ridiculous. But
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: other than that, I don't really see a whole lot
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in here that I'm just like, why is that the case?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: You can see Alabama and Tennessee have kind of fallen
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: off a little bit based on what they've done now
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years where they're really really good.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Arkansas looks like they're on the way up a little
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: bit with uh with the what's his face there? John Caliperry.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's gonna be a second year
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: with them, so their stock is probably on the rise.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean not really anything that I'm looking
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: at here and being like, what's the what's the dealer?
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: In Auburn has dropped off a bit because they've lost
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of their guys from last year too. They
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten to the SEC yet. Big East, though, looks
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna be between Saint John's Yukon. Creighton is
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: at plus seven point fifty and then Marquettes all the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: way down at thirty to one and Villanova thirty five
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to one. Also, Providence thirty five to one. So Villanova
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: looks like they're not really expected to get back into
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the mix here, and Marquette kind of looks like they're fading.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Creighton's still in the mix. Creighton pretty good, but I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: mean we already looked at Yukon in Saint John's. I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: think I would go with Yukon again here, man, I
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: mean it's a I don't know Saint John's. They just
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: they profile weird to me, which is why I didn't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: like them in the in the tournament last year. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I know they had a really really good regular season,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: but they play fast tempo, but they also play good defense,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and their offense isn't that good. It's a very very
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: strange mix. I don't know if that's gonna change. That's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: what they were last year, at least under Rick Patino.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Of course, I don't know. Maybe it's still my dislike
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for Rick Patino after he was terrible with the Celtics.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I would probably prefer Yukon and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: that one. And I don't mind Creighton really if you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: wanted to, like, you know, to take a flyer on them. Creighton,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're losing a bunch of guys. So they're
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: losing kock Brenner, which the guys like. It seems like
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the the talking heads called him Calkbrenner. I'm like, no,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: it's cock cock Brenner. And yeah, losing Ashworth and pop
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Isaacs as well. So they're losing a lot of their
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: production from last year, but bringing in some incoming transfers
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: from some lower schools and we'll see what they do.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of production that they're bringing from those smaller
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: schools though, And it looks like they're losing Larry Johnson man,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Grandma Ma. That's if you guys remember him. A child
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of the nineties. Man, there's your Charlotte Hornet's reference right there. Yeah,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I would probably go with Yukon though in that one.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: And then the Big Ten. Purdue is at two to one,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Michigan right there in the mix at four to one.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: This is a regular season conference winner, I should say,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: by the way, these are not the odds to a
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: win the conference tournament. These are the odds to be
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the top seed in the conference. So not to win
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the conference tournament. Of course, none of that matters a
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: ton really with these big conferences, because those teams are
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: all gonna, like, you know, they're just they're gonna make
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the tournament and then have to win the tournament. Illinois
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: is at five and a half to one, so it
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: looks like Illinois is still right there in the mix,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and U see La on the rise a little bit.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I guess under what the hell is their coaches name? There?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: The guy who yells at his players all the time,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the guy who used to be at Cincinnati, Mick Mick Cronin.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Is that his name? Yeah? Interesting there? And then Ohio
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: State is twelve to one, Michigan State sixteen to one,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Wisconstant only twenty five to one. That's actually kind of
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: interesting because Wisconsin they seem to be riding a little
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: bit on their history where they're twenty fourth here they're
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: ranked right now, and it seems like they might be
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit overrated right now based on these odds
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: where they're so far back in the odds, the oddsmakers
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: telling you they're not as good as any of those
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: you know, six teams that are above them. So that's
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: just kind of interesting. There a big rivalry between people
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: from mass and Yukon. Not really, I mean, I think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: there used to be a little bit of a thing
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: because Boston College was in the Big East with Yukon,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: but now they're not even They're not even in the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: same conference because BC is in the ACC. There isn't
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: really much of a rivalry there, to be honest, although well,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know because I still think, like, well, in football,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I think Yukon kind of considers BC to be like
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: a bigger brother to them, as I mentioned the other week.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: But in basketball, I mean, Yukon is like the dominant presence.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: So I mean, if anything, I think other New England
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: schools will get up if they get to play Yukon.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: But other than that, not really basketball. I mean, I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: wearing my BC hat here. BC has been way down.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I mean they were good, Like when I was in
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: high school and college. BC had some really good teams.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Not anymore, man, no more. Oh my god, some of
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: those guys they had there. They had Bell what was
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: his first name? He was really good. Fucking Jared Dudley
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: who wound up in the NBA. He was one of
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the best players that I got to see on BC
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: back in high school. They had Jonathan Beerbaum my favorite name.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Who is this tall white guy, great name, one of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the best names. Man just had the just totally appropriate
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: frat boy name beer Bomb. I wonder where that guy
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: is now. But yeah, there isn't really that much of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a rivalry there as far as these Big ten teams, though,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I mean were already kind of looked at Purdue. Michigan
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: is of course on the way up again. They're losing
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Golden though. Who is the guy that may brought over
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: from Fau, the tall white dude. He's gonna be gone,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: losing Wolf as well, I guess. So they are gonna
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of turnover here. They're bringing in
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: some new production, so a little bit of turnover from Michigan.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, there's just so much turnover now,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: like I said, in all these different schools for Illinois,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: where are they at come on the fighting line. They're
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: losing Jack hucionas I repronounced his name, losing a lot
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: of point production there, and White all leaving bring him back.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: A couple of their guys though, if this sick, if
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: this sick and Boswa, I don't I pronounce these guys' names.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So some of their guys are gonna be there. They're
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: bringing his Stoyakovic from California. Who I believe he's is
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: he Paija Stoyakovic's son. I think he might be that
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: might that might bring me back as that age as
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: me as well. I used to dude, I loved that
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings team with Paiga hitting threes. I used to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: have him in like fantasy basketball back when I used
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to do that. And fucking Vladi divoc was was on
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the team for them for a little while. I liked
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: those guys. Man, Oh and na I think they had
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Chris Weber at that time too, right, Weber was pretty dominant. Yeah,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Beer Bam, Yeah, you can look him up. He
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: was one of the best players on BC when he
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: was there. Man, he was a big man. He could dunk.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: You know. He wasn't like epically tall or anything like that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: He was. He was a white dude who had like
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: some good elements to his game. All Right, what else
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: is I even gonna look at here? Oh? Yeah, these
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: other Big ten teams, I mean yeah, I mean, U see,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: LA looks like they're on the rise. Like I said,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: let me see where are they at. They're losing like
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of their production. They're actually bringing back
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: their best scores though bill Ado and Daily, so maybe
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: not a horrible that's not horrible. And they're bringing in
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Dent from New Mexico was a huge score for them.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just things to note there. And yeah, Ohio State,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I mean Ohio State I thought was better last year
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: than what people thought they were and they just it
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: didn't really pan out for them. They're bringing back, they're
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: bringing back a lot of their production. Actually Thornton Royal mobiley.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: So Ohio State actually pretty under the radar right now.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I actually, uh, I mean even though Purdue, I mean
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Purdue is probably still the team to beat. Like they're
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: bringing back like all that guard production. Purdue is gonna
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: be really really good, so they're probably gonna be the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: team to beat in the Big Ten. I would probably
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: still go with Purdue to win it, but I think
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Ohio State actually as a flyer might be right there
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: in the mix based on what I'm seeing here. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: then Michigan State. Let's see, Michigan State's losing a lot
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: of guys, it looks like including hallm in there, who
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I just saw what he's transferring to some other team.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I forget where we just saw him listed somewhere else
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: though they're bringing back Fears and a couple other guys.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, for a you know, if you
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I should not have closed that. If you like a
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: flyer though there, I would probably say Ohio State, Mountain West.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: San Diego State's at plus one twenty, so they're kind
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of the team to beat their Utah State plus three sixty,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and they were I believe Utah State was like what
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the top seed in the conference tournament last year, if
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, and then they lost. Colorado State wound
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: up running through this conference, and this conference has had
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a shake up too, so it's
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. Boise States still there in the mix
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: of five to one. New Mexico seems to always be
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: in the mix. But New Mexico, I mean, they're a
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: team that just plays ridiculously fast, and I mean and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: they score a lot, And those are the types of
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: teams that I think will like fade out. Colorado States
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: at fifteen to one, but conference newcomer Grand Canyon is
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: at eleven to one. That's crazy, man. Grand Canyon has
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: joined in the Mountain West. They're out of the whack.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Uh So the Whack is gonna be really whack without
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon in there. If the Wax still exists, it's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be a weird conference this year because Grand Canyon's
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: kind of dominated the Whack recently. Utah Valley, I think
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it's still in the Whack the other where Charlie Charlie
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Kirk was, oh my god, Oh my god. No one
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: no laughing matter though, But yeah, Utah Valley. I mean
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it's I'm not gonna be able to talk about Utah
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Valley without thinking about that. Man. I just like, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: don't know, I have to just like my reaction is
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: tragedies sometimes just laugh. Man, It's just I don't know,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that's my instinct. That's how I get through it. But yeah,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon has moved up to the Mountain West and
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: they're at eleven to one. UNLV is down at eighteen
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: to one in Nevada, who's usually in the mixes all
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the way down to forty to one. Not looking great
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: for them. I don't even know if these teams are
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be listed here. San Diego State is San Diego
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: State's bringing back a decent amount of guys, so including
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: your favorite name here. By the way, Mgoon Gwoth is
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: coming back for San Diego State, who I think is
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: one of their big men. He sounds like a big man.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: They're losing like some of their guys from last year too, though,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: so San Diego State, let's see, and then Utah State.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: These teams might not even be listed on this thing though. Yeah,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: it looks like you basically you have to be annoyed.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know they are a Utah State's losing Martinez
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: was their top score. They are bringing false lev who
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: is not false I mean he was. He was there
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: second best scorer. I don't know. So there's something to
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: see there, I guess with Utah State Boise. Boise State's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: always kind of interesting because they're kind of more of
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: a slowdown team, loose like they're losing a lot of
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: their guys from last year. The Daggonheart not d jen Hard,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: he's not a degenerate. I don't think. Maybe he is,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, and Cardenas. So they're losing those guys.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: They're bringing back Meadow who I think metow was was
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the guy with the goggles, right, they're bringing him back. Yeah, yeah,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: our boys, and he's coming back. He's coming back from
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Boise Man, the Goggle guy. Hell yeah, all right, So
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: that means take Boise now. Probably not New Mexico losing
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys. They're losing Dent as I already
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned to where's he at now? He's gonna be at UCLA.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: That's a big loss. He was their top scorer last year.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: They're losing a ton of production. Actually, so I honestly
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: don't love that for New Mexico. So I think New
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Mexico that's why New Mexico's odds aren't as good as
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: what you would think. Like they're falling off. And then
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon probably not even listed on here. Let me
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: see Grand Canyon. I mean they've lost some guys to
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: transfers though, so I don't know. I mean, they've built
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: up a good program there, but it looks like Grand
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Canyon may have lost let me see, did they lose
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that their best player from last year? Let me see
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: which was I'm trying to Yeah, this guy, Grant Foster,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: he's in limbo. It looks like he might wind up
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: at Gonzaga. So he was like the best player for
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon and he was the guy who was hurt
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: for a lot of the season last year, and then
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: he came back when Grand Canyon made that run to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: make the tournament again. So Grand Canyon, I think is
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: gonna take a step down from where they were last year.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm actually kind of surprised to see them have
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: odds that are this good in the Mountain West, which
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: is a pretty competitive conference within itself, so interesting there.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Man in Colorado State will talk about them because they
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: won the conference last year, but they got really hot
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: at the right time, and they're losing Clifford, Yeah, Lake Evans, Crocker, Johnson,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: They're losing a lot of guys, so they're losing a
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: lot of production there too, which is why their odds
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: have dropped off. I mean to me, I might you know,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: take a flyer with a the Utah State there, to
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: be honest, not Boise Stead. I was kind of joking
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: about that, but medal lark Lemon? Was that really a
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: name there? Yeah, I definitely pour it out for Charlie Man.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Let me see it was. Was that Was that really
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: a oh you were talking about Andrew Meadows? Yeahk Metal
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: lark Lemon. I didn't see lemon on here. But there
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: are a lot of weird names in here man all right,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: And then we do have the SEC, of course, which
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is the conference that was really really good last year.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Florida is still a top it with the best odds
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: at plus two sixty. Very interesting. In Kentucky plus two
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: eighty Kentucky right there in Arkansas on way up at
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: plus five point fifty, Kentucky might be returning to being
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: really good again. And I forget who the hell their
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: coach is right now. Who's Kentucky's coach right now? I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: don't remember. I know it's some some guy that has
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of experience. And then Tennessee eight and a
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: half to one, Alabama nine to one, so those teams
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: have dropped off a little bit. Auburn has really dropped
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: off down to twenty to one. Mississippi State at eighteen
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to one looks like a program that's still kind of
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: in the mix there with I can't remember the coach's
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: name there for Mississippi State, but he's he's a pretty
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: good coach there. I don't know why his name is
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: escaping me there. It looks like Old miss has kind
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: of really dropped off, or has dropped off down to
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: thirty five to one with I think Chris Beard is
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: still at Old Miss right, looks like they're taking a
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: step back. I would probably fade Florida though, just because
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna quite make a run like
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: they did last year. I mean, of course they're gonna
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: be good again. Kentucky just doesn't profile as a team
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: that I love that much, because again, they're more of
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: an offensive team. Mark Pope, that's his name. Yeah, so
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: let me see what's Kentucky got going on here. No,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: they're losing Jackson Robinson, so he was a big part
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: in Lamont Butler. I mean, they were two big parts
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: of their offense. Man, So they're losing a lot of guys.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: They actually had a lot of scores last year, because
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: they still have two double digit scores coming back in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Oway and Garrison. Oh no, just ohway, excuse me, he's
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: the only one. What am I saying? Never Mind? They're
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: bringing in a lot of guys from other schools though,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: so a big transfer class from UH for Kentucky here,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: which I think is why they're expecting to be good,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and some of their incoming freshmen. And again, these teams,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: some of these teams are gonna coalesce like later, Oh
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Metal Lark was on the Harlem Globe Driders. Yeah, I
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, And then we got all right, we
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: got an Arkansas in the mix there. We know Arkansas
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: lost Boogie Flann though, the Arkansas Razorbacks where are they
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: at here? They're losing Tierro as well. That's not good
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and Janelle Davis. They're losing a lot of their guys
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: from last year. Man, they're bringing back Wagner. Yeah, so
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They're getting Pringle from South Carolina. Maybe
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: once they pop they won't be able to stop. I
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't know. I'm not exactly loving it.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Arkansas is getting a lot of love in the market though,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and then Tennessee has dropped off a little bit. But
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Tennessee is kind of always in the mix.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I assume they still have Rick Barnes there, but I
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Some of these coaching changes.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, because some of these coaching
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: changes I probably just am not aware of until the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: season starts. They're losing a lot of their production with Tennessee.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Lanier gone, Ziggler gone, you know, a lot of them,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: like basically all their big their best players from last
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: year are pretty much gone, so interesting there so a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: big amount of turnover there for Tennessee, maybe a team
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: that you want to look to fade early on. And
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: then for Alabama, we see they're losing Sears and Nelson's,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: they're losing a couple of their best players as well,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: bringing back got Right cell in Halloway they had this
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: team had a lot of a lot of double digit
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: scores last year and phill On feelon they're all coming back,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: so they do have an Alabama actually has a decent
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: amount of returning production. So it's kind of interesting to
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: see them actually down at nine to one. I think
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be in the mix. Actually Alabama, will you know,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I mean that's actually maybe the team I would take
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the flyer on is Alabama. I mean maybe the tails
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: of their demise maybe are a little bit too overstated
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: right now. And then of course the WCC Gonzaga is
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: is actually a favorite against the entire field that minus
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: one sixteen, you know the deal, it's pretty much always
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: them in Saint Mary's. Saint Mary's at plus four twenty five,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be one of them. Yet again because
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: it always is. Gonzaga is losing a lot of their guys.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: They'll battle Hickman Nenpard, but you know them, they just
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: they basically just reload. They're still bringing back e K
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: and Huff, so they're gonna be really good again. And
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: then for Saint Mary's let me see, Yeah, they're losing
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Marsulione s ivery, pronounce his name. He's gonna be gone
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: in sacks and I'll bring him back Moroscas, so one
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: of their best players is coming back. A lot of
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: the guys that were on the team before coming back
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: and may you know, just get larger roles this year
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: and whatever. I do think it's gonna be one of
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: those two teams. I mean, I can't really fade Gonzaga
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: in this in this in this conference though, I mean,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: it's basically always them. Interesting that Sa Francisco is at
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: six and a half to one, though, so Sar Francisco
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: expected to be pretty good after San Francisco really has
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: not been good for a long time. They're not even
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: listed here though. They're losing Malik Thomas though to Virginia. Interestingly,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: so Virginia, I mean, we'll see they have a pretty
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: big incoming transfer class here. We'll see what happens with Virginia. Yeah,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: and that's about it for those conferences there, and then
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: as far as picking an overall winner for doing Houston
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: are both at nine and a half to one, Yukon
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: right there at thirteen to one, Kentucky thirteen to one.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's a wide open field in college basketball, man.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: And of course no Massachusetts schools because I'm in Massachusetts.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: They don't allow it, man. Yeah, some bullshit. They just
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: change that law. It's to prevent like shit like from
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: being rigged. But I mean, they wouldn't even factor into
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: this equation really, the Massachusetts schools. But it sucks when
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: you want to bet on one of those, you have
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: to go like offshore and whatever. Duke is ateen to one,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Michigan fifteen to one, you kind of Kentucky both thirteen
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: to one. If I did mentioned that, Florida sixteen to one,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: to repeat BYU next at eighteen to one, come on,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Saint John's nineteen to one, Louisville twenty two to one,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Kansas twenty two to one, et cetera. I mean, if
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at the team to play a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: future on, I think you probably want to cut it
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: off somewhere around there, unless you want to just take
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: some real real outlier here, man, and you know, go
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: with like UCLA or something to really move up and
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: get back in the mix, or you know, maybe Gonzaga.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: UCLA's thirty five to one. Gonzaga forty five to one
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: seem to always be in the mix, though, and Baylor
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: or nobody's really talking about them anymore at fifty to one. Interestingly,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Alabama thirty five to one, Tennessee thirty five to one.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: They've been up in the mix recently at least Arizona
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: thirty to one, Illinois thirty to one, Texas Tech twenty
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: five to one, Arkansas twenty five to one. This is
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: all in DraftKings, you know. I Mean I tend to
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: just always kind of lean towards Houston just because they're
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: just so good at like just having continuity there with
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: they lose like a couple of the best players, they're
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: guys who are next in line just move up into
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: those roles and they just continue doing that over and
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: over again. They play really really good defense. Yeah, I mean,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Houston's looking good. Purdue is looking good to me too, though,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I just worry about Purdue's height, Like, what are they
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: gonna do on the inside there? Purdue is gonna have
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: excellent guard play, but that was also the case last year,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: and those guys did have experience last year too, and
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: they didn't quite get there. They actually I think they
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: were better the year before that, right because they had
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Edy on the interior, so they were a more balanced
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: team when they made the championship game against Yukon a
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. So yeah, I mean, I'm still
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: kind of liking Houston though. I mean, that's kind of
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the way that I would lean right now. I just
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I love their style of play, and it seems like
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: they're always in the next Ken Bomb has them as
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: the number one rate team right now. I think they're
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be there by the end of the year. So
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the preview, man. And now we
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: can look at tomorrow's games here, it's gonna be crazy.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be an insane day. Where some of
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: these are on YouTube. I don't know if that means
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: you have to have YouTube TV for some of these
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: or if they're gonna be free on YouTube, I don't know.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: But we have an eight am Eastern game tomorrow, man,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: between Winthrop and Queens, Like I came at eight am. Really,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: what the hell? Man, that's just crazy, and this is
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be You gotta pay attention because a lot of
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: these early season a lot of these early season games
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: are actually at neutral sites. So I think, like these
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: early games are and Bradley and Saint Bonaventure, these are
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: in South Carolina, so those are not being hosted by
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: any of those teams. Queens is in North Carolina. Winthrop,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I think is actually in South Carolina though, so something
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit interesting there. I don't want to, like
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: have to break down every one of these games, but
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I always skip the games against the non Division one
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: teams out a lot of these teams are playing non
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Division one basketball. Is a real real grind here, man,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Like I try to handicap literally every Division one game.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Some of them. I just do a quick thing, like,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna play this game where it's
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: like a forty point spread or whatever, like Saint John's
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: against Quinnipiac, although it's probably not forty, but you know,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: twenty six and a half. Whatever. So yeah, somebody keep
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: in mind a lot of these games are gonna be
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: in neutral sight as well, So just something to look at.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: But again, if you're looking to handygap these games, which
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I should be doing because that's my thing now, you
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: want to, like in these early season games, you want
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to look for teams that just have a lot of
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: returning production. Again, like lower conference teams that bring back
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a ton of guys. I gotta see if we can
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: find like a site that has that, like let me
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: see college basketball. Yeah, let me see returning production. I
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: kind of wanted to see, Like, I don't know, like
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: some of these, I'll have to look for it later.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I think bart Torvik actually seems like he might have
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: something here. Let me see bart Torovik. He's got his
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: T rank. His tea rank is basically just like ken
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Bomb's stuff. Though, let me look to see what he
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: has here. No, I don't think he really Yeah, he
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't really have any Torvik doesn't look like he has
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: any of those things. Let me see if Kenbomb does
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: not that. I want to show my email address at
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: the top. Oh no, oh, no, I'm downloading the data.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: That's not what I wanted to do. What does ken
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Bum have for all? He's got miscellany hmm, d one
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Universe stats. No, I don't height experience. Yeah, that's what
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: we want. Yes, Oh, but that looks like he doesn't
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: have any stats for that. Yes, I guess that's not
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: what I want. Never mind, never mind anyway, I still
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: recommend paying for ken Bomb though, because you get to
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: see all of his predictions read game. Yeah, YouTube, I
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: don't have YouTube TV. I have YouTube Premium, though, I'll
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: get rid of the ads. But yeah, anyway, let's talk
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: about some of these games that might jump out of
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: him in. I don't think I'm gonna do anything with
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: these games. It is interesting that Winthrop, I believe, is
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: a South Carolina school and they're playing in South Carolina
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: and this one the money has come in on them.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: That looks like they're right from a five point favorite
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: to a six point favorite. So, hey, Winthrop, they're playing
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: it's not dude. If this is their home stadium, that
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: would be even more ridiculous. Let me see here, Winthrop,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: where do they actually play. I'm gonna look real quick
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: find one of their home games here. They play in
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Winthrop Coliseum, which is in yeah, rock Hill. I think
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: they're actually literally playing. They're hosting this tournament. Actually, so
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. So somebody keep in mind Winthrop
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: is actually hosting that tournament at eight am. I mean,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: if you want to play Winthrop just for that reason,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: it's being factored into the line. But I think that
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: is actually a home game for Winthrop there, even though
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: it's in a tournament, They're actually hosting the tournament. So
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep in mind in that one. You know,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I don't really have a whole lot to say about
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: these teams here. Some of these games are interesting. I
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: guess it looks like maybe some of the money sort
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: of looks like it's starting to come in on Bradley
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: against Saint Bonadventure. Again, I got nothing in these games.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip down to. I just talked about those
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: because those are one of those tournaments. You got Drake
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: in one of these tournaments too, and Sioux Falls there
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: in the in Summit League territory. Very very weird mixes
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: of basketball teams in some of these tournaments here, Omaha
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: who made the tournament last year, playing Murray stand. I
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: think Omaha it's pretty overrated though, so I would probably
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I would lean to Murray State, and that when Murray
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: State's up from three and a half to four. I'm
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: just doing a quick rundown of these games and I
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: can't stop. Man, not that I want to play any
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: but Omaha. I just I didn't think they were gonna
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: be able to win that conference last year. They just
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: did not profile well at all and they kept overperforming
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: and then they actually made the tournament last year. The
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: only thing good that you could say about Omaha in
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: this game is that they're playing in like an area
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: and in an arena they're used to because they think
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: so Falls arena that they're in, I'm pretty sure that's
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the arena that hosts the Summit League tournament, so Omaha
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: is used to playing there. So that's like the only
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: thing that they have going for them here. But I
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: would probably fade them just because they're I think, kind
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: of thriving off of what they looked like last year,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: and I thought they totally overperformed Drake. It'll be interesting
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: to see what's gonna happen with Drake. Drake was really
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: good last year with their new coach that they had
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: last year, brought brought in his entire team basically from
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Division two up to Division one, and they played really well.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: They won their conference, made the tournament, they won the
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Missouri Valley, made the tournament and pulled off an upset
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: of Missouri because Drake plays this really annoying slow style
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and it throws some of those teams off. So Drake,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I assume if they have those guys coming back, they're
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: a favorite here. Yeah, they're favored for a reason. They're
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: up from eight to ten and a half here. I
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: would probably not want to fade Drake in that one.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's certainly the better team over Northern Arizona,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: but everybody kind of knows Drake. Now everybody. Everybody loves
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: the Drake. At this point, I thought they were I
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: didn't pick them in my bracket last year is because
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I thought they were too public and they were an underdog.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, some side felt reference there. I apologize any more.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Coffee here My boys at Stonehill, by the way in
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: south southeastern mass hosting Thomas Main some D two team.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: But I just want to put dude. Stonehill. They're new
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: to Division one as of like a few years ago,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: coming up three days from now Stonehill on November sixth Stonehill.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: So stone Hill is haunted. Uh. Stone Hill is in
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: the the uh Bridgewater Triangle in Massachusetts, which is an
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: area that nobody talks about, and it has it's like
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: it's an area that has the most paranormal activity in
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: a small area like that I've ever heard of. I
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: haven't really experienced anything when I've been in there, but
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of shit that goes on there and
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: stone Hill. Every November sixth, stone Hill has this like
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: event where like it just happens for whatever reason. The
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: there's just this rolling fog in like one specific area
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: of the campus and not anywhere else near this. There's
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: like a haunted house that has something to do with
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, some some wealthy air or heiress. I forget,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: like I forget exactly what happened, but there's some death
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: or murder. I don't remember the exact story. I'd have
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: to refresh my memory on it. But yeah, there's there's
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: like a man or on Stonehill's campus that's haunted. And
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: every November sixth, which is the anniversary of I think
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the person who's involved here, I think crashed his plane
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: like into like a like a lake or a pond.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: I mean that's like right near the campus and fog
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: comes off on November sixth, and specifically on November sixth,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: fog comes off of that pond or whatever like into
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: that area of the campus something like that. It's crazy
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: November sixth, So so if you want to go visit
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: on November six you can go do that. Quinnipiac is
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: playing against Saint John's. Quinnipiac is actually not from that
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: far away. That game is in Queens, New York though,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: so I don't think that's It's not like a home
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: game for Saint John's. Saint John's though they do play
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: in They are New York City team, though I forget
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: exactly where they play though. Maybe they do play in
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Queen's actually, maybe they do. I forget Quinnipiac not traveling
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: a huge distance for that though. Quinnipiac is in southern Connecticut,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: southwestern Connecticut, in Hamden, Connecticut, I believe, right near New Haven. Yeah.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Stonehill now, yeah, Purple Hair and Autistic Witches. Yeah. I
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: used to go to. Stonhill had a summer program like
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: for nerdy kids where you could take classes during the
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: summer and learn more shit. College academy. I think this
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: is what it was called. I used to go to
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: that year. That was like my summer camp. Most years
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I did that instead. I went and I learned. It
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: was kind of fun. Actually, you get to take like
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: different like you can take classes that just suit your
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: interest basically, like you can do whatever there was. There
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: was a magic the gathering class, because of course there was,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: which I didn't actually take. I took Radio broadcasting was
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: kind of a thing that I was into back then,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: So I took that where you actually got to do
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: like radio broadcasts from the radio broadcasting from the I
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: mean on campus. Yeah, crazy, more toad lore there. That
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: South Carolina tournament also has high Point of Furman. That's
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: an interesting one with teams that have been good in
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: their respective conferences recently. High Point of course made the
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: tournament last year, but I think Furhman is probably the
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: better team out of the two. Furman at one thirty third.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: No high Point is actually ranked higher in kem BOM's
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: ranking is high Point very good offensively typically in recent years,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: but not good offensively. So yeah, I don't know. Man. Finally,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: we have a game, one of the big games. We're
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: already to the Knights late here, so that's not too bad.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of scrolling through a lot of these.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about every one of these games,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: but basically the big game of the day is Florida
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: and Arizona, man, and this is going to be in
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas, so I think the location helps Arizona a
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: little bit because Arizona is a little bit closer to it.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Justin what's up man, Thanks for hanging out. This is
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: a game that, yeah, I mean, you can find more
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: to kind of handicap at this one. Florida is actually
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: down from a three and a half point favorite to
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite. I think I
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: probably agree with that move. I would actually probably fade
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Florida here, just because you know they're riding the championship hype,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Ken Bum does have Florida
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: as the better team over Arizona. He has Florida number
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: two in Arizona fifteen, but again, got to take that
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: with a bit of a grain of salt. He does
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: have Florida very balanced though as well. Arizona is a
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: bit more offense oriented, and as we saw, Arizona's losing
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of their production, including Caleb Love. So I
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if I quite love that, but I do
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: think Florida generally they're gonna be a little bit over
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: hyped here just because they're they're returning champs, So generally
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: I would probably lean towards fading them. I don't think
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I want to make it a play or anything like that,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: but I do think the location sets up a little
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: bit better for Arizona. There interesting that new An actually
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: has a dude. New Aven has actually moved up to
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Division One. I was gonna say the Division two teams
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: that ESPN never has link to them. New Haven, the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: New Haven Chargers have charged their way into Division one.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: So they're one of the newcomers in Division one and
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: they're in the Northeastern Conference. That's interesting. So they're gonna
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: be in a transition period where they where they're ineligible
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: for the postseason for like four years, and they get
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to play their big brother in the city of Yukon, Yukon.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: I don't even think you could bet this game. It
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: looks like the oddsmakers haven't even put a line out
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: a line out on this. Yeah, I mean that's crazy.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I think new An's gonna be pumped though, that they
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: that they get to play Yukon at Yukon Yukon might
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: just be in a situation where they're like, yeah, whatever,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: like just get in, get out. Yukon is probably gonna
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: be I mean, what do you what do you even
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be favored by in that game? That
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: might be one with like a forty point spread there. Uh,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I would probably take the points with new An in
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: that one if I was going to oh thank you sir. Yeah,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: there's I have a lot of stories, dude. My mom
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: says that my life is like a sitcom. There's a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff that's gone on in my life. But
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: I think I just everybody has a lot of stuff
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: that's happened in them in their lives. I mean, we've
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: all lived lives. It's just I think I talk about
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: it in a weird way. You're covering women's basketball. There
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: you go, man, justin you're talking about Missouri State. I
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: assume I'm not familiar with women's basketball really, though we
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: do have Arkansas in action at home against Southern I
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: mean a total mismatch there. Tennessee against Mercer, which, by
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: the way, Mercer is I believe in the state of Tennessee.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: So that's a little bit of an in state little
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: brother situation there obviously do we have We don't. I
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: don't even think New av It's not even listed on
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the board here, by the way, for that other one
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Tennessee is a twenty eight point favorite, up
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: from twenty five against Mercer. I mean, it's another one
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: of those little brother situations where maybe Mercer gets up
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: for it. Michigan State's hosted Colgate mismatch there, North Carolina
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: hosting Central Arkansas. Another mismatch there old in Miami, Ohio.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if there's a whole lot
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: to say about that. That's gonna be in Oxford, Ohio,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: which I think is the That means Miami Ohio is
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the host of that. Yeah, a lot of these I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: just don't know what to think about. The Miami Ohio
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: is a six and a half point favorite there. They're
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: actually one of the better MAC teams. Justin's well, not
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: justice team because it's not Missouri State, but Missouri is
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: playing at Howard in Washington, DC. You know, Missouri no
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: line on that one. Of course, Missouri is an SEC team.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: It was pretty good last year. It looks like they
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: might take a little bit of a step down. I
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't want to go through every one
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: of these games. A lot of those games are teams,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: teams hosting them on their own floors, though, like our boys,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you Mass hosting Marshall at Amherst Mass, which is a
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: game I'm not even allowed to bet on unless I
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: go off shore. You Mass is a four and a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: half point favorite. Whatever. I mean, these games again, I
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: just kind of I basically just wind up letting them go.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: George Mason against Awford Wafford I believe made the tournament
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: last year, so people might actually remember Wafford because they
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: remember the dude with the remember the granny shot guy
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: on Wafford. I I wonder if he's still there, the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: white dude who was like the worst free throw shooter
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: in existence, except for that guy on Queen's. I think
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I think Queen's they're playing eight am. Get if he's
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: still there, Get up and watch queens Man, just because
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: they have that guy who's the worst free throw shooter
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: in existence. But Wafford had that guy who's also really
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: bad at free throws, and he switched to the granny
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: shot and improved his free throw percentage, and people remember
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: that and remember them making the tournament. They don't remember
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: George Mason. George Mason was actually pretty good in the
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: A ten last year, And they're up to a fifteen
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: point favorite in that game, and I would probably agree
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: with that move. I would probably lay it with George Mason.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: That's a home game for George Mason there. I think again,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: just some of these games where you see a team
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: that's the public's gonna you know, it's gonna catch the
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: public's eye just because, oh, I remember that team they
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: made the tournament last year. So you kind of want
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: to fade those teams, you know. I don't have a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: whole lot to say about most of these other games though,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of just lower tier Division one games here. Yeah,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I mean people might remember VCU, of course making the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: tournament last year. Wagner I think has been in the
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: tournament over the last couple of years as well. I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: mean VC used the way better team, though there's not
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: even a line on that one, that one being hosted
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: by VCU, I think. I mean, if you like college basketball,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun slate. But a lot
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: of these games are just you know, just mismatches or
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: games between two teams that are just like it's just very,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: very difficult to handicap. My Boston College guys are going
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: to be at Florida Atlanta. Florida Atlantic flipped to a
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: one and a half point favorite against BC. That game
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: is in Florida Atlantic at Boker at Florida Atlantic in
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Boker raton Boker ratone. I would slightly actually lean against
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: that movie Florida Atlantic because everybody just kind of remembers
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: their name. Nobody thinks BC is any good, but the
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Oswegers are telling you BC is actually the slightly better
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: team there. I mean, they're in the better conference at
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: the very least. Are there any other games like involving
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: like ranked versus ranked or is it just that one
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: big game there? We got Houston playing Lee High. I mean,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: that's a huge mismatch at Houston. Alabama hosting North Dakota. Mismatch.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Iowa stayed against Fairleigh Dickinson in Iowa State, Fairly Dickinson
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: and the team that upset Purdue a couple of years ago. Yeah,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: whatever mismatch there, Kansas hosting Green Bay, that's a mismatch.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Auburn hosting Bethune, Cookman, Wisconsin hostin Campbell. You know, don't
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: want to really go with too many of these games.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and Lipscomb is somewhat interesting because Lipscomb, dude, there
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: are so many night games to fromrow. This is crazy.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Lipscomb terrible name. By the way, They're in the state
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: of Tennessee. And I don't know if people people really
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: remember Lipscomb being in the tournament the last couple of years,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: although they were. I think Vandy's gonna get a little
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: bit too much credit because they were on the upswing
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: last year. They made the tournament last year, maybe looking
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: towards Lipscomb as an underdog, and that would make sense
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: with the in state rival thing going on there. Tarleton State,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: the football program that made our boy rowdy Rhymes famous.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: You know that dude who's got some disability. I sume
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. He became like really
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: well known for just giving out his picks in video
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: form and not even explaining them, just giving out his picks.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: And he hit on that ridiculous underdog Tarleton State. I
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: think he gives them out on the Moundey line in football,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: and they pulled off that ridiculous upset. I don't know,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: but yeah, their their basketball team as an in state
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: game here against SMU, So I mean maybe maybe it
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: makes sense to look towards Charlotton State there the money's
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: actually coming in that way a little bit. SMU down
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: from twenty and a half to Whenny here. Uh, Jackie Styles,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: who's Jackie Styles? Is she a basketball player? I only
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: know Jackie Chiles the lawyer in Zeinfeld. Uh, she can't
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: put her bra on over the top. She's got to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: put the bra on right up against the skin. It's
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: got to fit like a glove. If you remember that,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: he was there spoof of Johnny cochrane in the they
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: had the trial where what was it, Jerry crashed somebody's
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: vehicle because he got distracted by Sue ellen Mischki, who
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: was wearing a bra as a top, because I think
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: because he lay just like marketed like marketed it as
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: that as a lie or something. I don't even remember
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: whatever it was, dude. Granny shots are awesome, man. Uh,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Josie's knockers. I haven't seen them, so I don't know
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: if I can, I don't know if I I don't
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: know if I give them a proper rating. I know
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: she did a rating of me on she gave me
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: my like Coctober rating or whatever on a tower gang
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: or whatever. I think she was making the whole thing up.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I don't believe anybody sent that to her.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that did not happen. But I have
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: a lack of information as far as being able to
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: rate them. You know, I don't even want to wager
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: a guess on that right now, although you know me,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I tend to. I don't think size is a huge
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: factor there though, So I will say that so and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: I'm a very very harsh raider, a harsh critic there,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: so you know, I think she would. She'd probably score
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: rather high on my ranking system, to be honest. Boca raton, Yeah,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: that is what it means. It means the mouth of
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: the rat and it's where all the wealthy people go
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: and rits high or very very strange, very interesting lifts come.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Yeah, Jackie Styles, she's a legend in
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: women's basketball, all right. The bomb on, Yeah, I mean
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I might have to start using lip bomb because we're
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: getting into the colder weather now. Though I'm talking too
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: much on this show. Usually I don't need it my
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: lips are soft baby. Another in state game here between
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Miami, but Miami is gonna be a huge favorite.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Of course, Whips. I just refresh that scream. Don't even
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: see a number on that one. I mean these games again,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: it's you can see why I skip this first day, right,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: It's just like, it's totally ridiculous. Michigan against Oakland is
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: an in state game, believe it or not. So I'm
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: just pointing that out. Oakland is in the state of Michigan.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: They made the tournament a couple years ago, and they
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: had the guy whose name I always forget to hit
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: all those three pointers against Kentucky. But he's anymore. Michigan's
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: a twenty three point favorite. The line has gone up
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: in that one. Skip it. Illinois playing Jackson State. We
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: got Louisville against South Carolina, South Carolina State, whatever, Gonzaga
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: against Texas Southern. Those are all the ranked matchups, pretty
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: much BYU against Villanova. That's actually one of the only
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: other like Big conference matchups of the day. Is that
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the only other one I think it is. And then
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: UCLA's playing Eastern Washington On the late late slate here
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: there are games at ten thirty and eleven PM. It's
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: so crazy, dude. You're gonna have games eight am Eastern
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: all the way through. Like the last games are probably
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: gonna finish at like one am Eastern basically because these
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: games basically take about two hours. That's insane, dude. So
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna have whatever that is, seventeen straight
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: hours of college basketball, absolutely insane. And Saint Mary's against
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Saint Thomas interesting there, the battle the Saints there late
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: at night there, that's that's kind of interesting. Just you know,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Saint Thomas under the radar in that Summit League. Man,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I think they're eligible to make the tournament now after
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: their transition period, they've been pretty good. They transitioned teams
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: are required to trans themselves once they once they get
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: into Division one. Saint Mary's is a thirteen point favorite.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: You kind of think they might be a bigger favorite
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: than that, but they're not. So Saint Thomas getting some
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: respect there. And that game I believe is at Saint Mary's.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Washington State in Idaho is actually a rivalry. Those teams.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: They're like a ten to fifteen minute drive I think
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: from each other across the border. There, so they're like
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: sister schools, so there is a rivalry there. So that's
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting that game is that Washington State. Washington
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: State up from seven to eight there, but I think
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Idaho kind of considers themselves to be a little brother
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: there because Washington State's been, you know, in the PAC twelve.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: They're now in the WCC, which is still considered to
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: be a bigger conference. That's kind of interesting there. And
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: then BYU hosting Villanova in that that's in that Las
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Vegas tournament there, man, So you know, I kind of
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: like Villanova on that one. Even though BIU is up
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: from seven and a half to nine, I just think
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: BILLYU is just overrated, dude at eighth in the country. Again,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: kin Bom has them at at eighteenth. I'm sure he
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't have Villanova that high, though he has Villanova down
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: at fiftieth. But Villanova they contrast with BYU style really
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: well because BYU they're more of an offensive team and
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: they like to play a bit up tempo, whereas Villanova
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: is the complete opposite Villanova, at least if you go
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: on what they've done recently, Villanova slows the game way
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: down and makes it really really ugly. So they are
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: the type of style of team that they're the style
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: of team that can give BYU problems. Man. So I
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: actually kind of like Villanova and that one to cover
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: that number there, and you're seeing a total that's at
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: one fifty three and a half. It's gone up a
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: little bit. It's not the total, but it's not a
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: crazy high total either. I mean, I think the lowest
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: totals are usually I think in like the one forties
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: for the most part. But yeah, one fifties not totally happened.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Of course, the odsmakers have to kind of, you know,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: they have to figure out how to factor both those
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: things in, like, oh, a slow team versus a fast team,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: and you know, that's pretty much it. I don't have
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: a whole lot to say about these games. There isn't
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: really anything that I loved. Again, I'm a situational guy mostly,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: so I just don't really dive into a lot of these.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Providence in holy Cross is kind of interesting, I guess,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: just because that's a I guess I skipped over some
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: of these. That's kind of a regional thing. Holy Cross
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: in Worcester, mass Providence is not that far away from that,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: so Holy Cross probably considers itself to be a little
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: brother there. There's no line in that game, and it's
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: gonna be at Providence, and then Saint Peter's. Seaton Hall
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: is an in state game as well, Seaton Hall in
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: New Jersey there. Saint Peter's of course, we've kind of
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: seen them make the tournament a few times really recently.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Seaton Hall was really bad last year and they're only
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: a fourteen point favorite here against Saint Peter's. So it's
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: not an automatic in that game for Seaton Hall. And
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: you know Saint Peter's, they're gonna get up to play
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: one of the big boys in their in their state there.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: And then we do have the Battle of Boston. This
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: seems like it's the bean pot bu against Northeastern. That's
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be at Northeastern. But BYU of course, they just
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: have to like basically just take the green line because
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: both those schools are on the green line in Boston.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Can't bet on it in Massachusetts legally at least, Like
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to know what the line is on this
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: because both those teams have been okay recently. There's no
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: line on it yet, so crazy, but that's you know,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: an interesting Boston at matchup there at the very least. Yeah,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't see much else going on though tomorrow, So
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: again I apologize for that, but it's just it's a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: day where I just basically just skip it. Syracuse Binghamton.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's actually kind of a big game for
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Binghamton because they're pretty close geographically to Syracuse. So I
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: think Binghamton will probably get up for that game. To
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of little brother situations there, just you know,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: some general thoughts on some of these, and I think
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: that's about it. I'm not gonna give out any plays tomorrow.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: We'll just we'll see how it goes. There are those
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: two like kind of big games that are really the
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: one big game, so I gave you, you know, some
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: slight opinions on those, but we're we're gonna wait for
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: the for the situations to reveal themselves in college basketball,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: and maybe I'll take a look tomorrow morning, because you know,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: when I do the show, like most of the games
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: are not gonna be played yet. It's just those weird
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: South Carolina tournament games are gonna be ridiculously early. But
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look and see maybe if there's any angle
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: with some of these teams with a lot too within
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: anything to really see as far as returning production. But
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: it's just really difficult to do that now anyway this year.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: So Josie's feet, Have I seen her feet? I think
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: you could. I don't know. I think you could probably
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: see her feet in those like sun dress picks. I
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: don't know. I've not paid I'm not a foot guy.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: I have not paid attention to her feet. She's white, Yeah,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: that's true. So that means she's immediately I'm gonna get
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: a boose rating wise for that. The bean bowl or
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the chowder bowl, chowder, Boston baked beans. It's kind of
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: a weird thing. The Boston is bean town. I mean,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: I still don't really get why that's a thing. I mean,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Boston baked beans are a thing, and they're around. You
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: can get them in Boston, but they're not like a
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: huge deal. I don't know, I don't really, I still
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: don't really get it. As I mentioned before, Boston is
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: a city that used to have a huge molasses factory
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: in the North End near where the Italians are, and
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: that molasses there were manufacturing so much molasses that it
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: was for like the entire Eastern Seaboard, which included using
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: it in like Boston baked beans because it has like
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: brown sugar in it and whatever. And the molasses one
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: of the molasses tanks exploded in like nineteen nineteen because
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: it was like a really really dramatic, like very very
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: New England's style of shift in temperature. I've talked about
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: this on the show. For tempers shift in New England
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: like crazy, especially in the winter. And that was a
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: situation where in January, I think it went from like
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: being in the teens fahrenheit up till like mid to
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: high fifties over the course of like a day or something.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: So it heated up so quickly that the molasses tank
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: exploded and it flooded the North End and like I
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, like a dozen or maybe more people died
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of people got injured. That's insane too.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't like what you can't get out
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: of the molasses flood. You can't swim in molasses. It's
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: one of the most insane things that's ever happened. Basically
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: nobody really seems to know about it. The Boston molasses
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: flood Chowda is definitely a thing in Boston, though you
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: can get chowda everywhere. And I tend to like the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: more smooth chowder. Know some guys disagree with that. I
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: like it to be creamy. I like it to I
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: like it to have, like, you know, the chunks in
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: it too, but I like it to be thick and smooth,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: just like just like I like women. I guess I
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: don't know, but like I like the Boston sale Loft chowder,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: which a lot of people, uh like Boston Saleoft will
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: it really like splits me. What's the word I'm looking for?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Like it really really it's really divisive as far as
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: their their chowder, cause it's it's very very it's thick,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: but it's like very creamy. I took Josh Smith there
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: when he when he was up here, I was like,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: you gotta try this chowder, and he thought it was good.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: They loaded with Dale. It has so much dill in it,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: and I love Dale. So yeah, Garfield, skip money. Well,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna talking about NBA and
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: NHL tomorrow. Wait, who's obsessed with Josie? What me? I'm not?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I like Josie. A lot of people do
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: not like Josie. She's just constantly like fight with all
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: these people. But I think they're just like probably somewhat
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: jealous because she has a really huge account, she's famous,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: she knows a lot of like big name people as well,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: and because she's pretty. So I think that's probably why
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: obscure stories obscure history. Yeah so do. I like that too.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's really a Darwin Award. I
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: mean people that were like just in that area and
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: happen to get taken out by the molasses flood. I
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: mean they weren't doing anything stupid. I mean, what are
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: you supposed to do? Not live your life in the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: North End. So I don't know what the hell. Oh
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: I was talking about. Chowda Yeah, so Boston Sale Loft.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: I love Dale dudes, you can get it there. Some
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: people will disagree with that. A lot of people like
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: for like the real classic chowder. A lot of people
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: love Union Oyster House, and I don't disagree. Like Uni
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: Oyster House is one of the better chowders in the
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: city as well. I mean they're a big name in
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Boston though they're you know, the oldest continuously operating restaurant
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: in the entire country, so of course they get a
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: big name there. They have the JFK Boo there on
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: the second floor where JFK always preferred to sit. They
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: have a legit chowder, though if you like just the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: real standard classic chowder, it's not as creamy. It's got
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: real clams in it, of course, like good good clams.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't mess around with it. It's it
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: is good. Oh yeah, yeah, Justin is obsessed with Josie.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: I guess yeah, I am anythink that's gonna do with though, man,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm talking about Boston chowder.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: I can give you give you the recommendations. Boston's Sail
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: Loft is good as well, just because it's right on
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: the hobbor there. It's right in the middle of Boston
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: Harbor pretty much. And actually when you go into it,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: it's actually on like one of the wharfs, so it
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: actually goes right out like into the harbor. You can
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: sit there and you're actually like above the water basically
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: of the harbor. And they got fresh seafood, of course,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of fried seafood there there. And I'm I
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: am a fan of fried seafood, so yeah, I like
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: that place. I've just turned been turned onto it. A
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: lot of people will say, you know that other places
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: are better and whatever, like, there are a lot of
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: different seafood places. That place is kind of my go to.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: People are gonna now, they're gonna go and they're gonna
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: try to find me there. Man, Oh god, Boston. Yeah,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: the history and the food. There's a lot of history, dude.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: I can go to the side of the Boston Massacre
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: where I took Clint there back in the day, which
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: is right near the old Boston State House. Yeah. You
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: can walk the Freedom Trail, which is you know, it's
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: I guess sort of like Paul Revere's Roots. I think,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: I guess is what it's supposed to be through Boston.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: It goes between the Old North Church and Boston Common.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: I think some of that history is a little bit fabricated,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: but it's a good amount. Like you can walk most
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: of like Boston proper, it's all like walkable, So I mean, yeah,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: I mean it's not a bad thing to do in
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Boston walk in the Freedom Trail, though a lot of
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: people do it. You gotta watch out in the Boston
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: common now though, because it's all homeless drug addicts in
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: there now though, So Boston is not what it wants will,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: which kind of fucking sucks, dude. But hey, man, I
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: did my part. When I went to see Louis c.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: K whatever, it was like a week and a half
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: ago or two weeks ago or whatever. I helped a
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: guy who I think was homeless. It was like this
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: blind guy and he was looking for Burger King, which
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: was like right up the street there. I was like, hell, yeah, man,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I'll escort you to Burger King. Why not? Like yeah,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't do that,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: but I'm like, what is it like, I don't think
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: this guy, Like, this guy does not seem malicious to me,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: and he's blind, So I'm like, is this guy gonna
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: like shank me and rob me? I don't think so, man,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: he did not. So I got him to Burger King
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: and then I went to the show. The North Carolina Coast. Yeah,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of good seafood on the Atlantic coast, man.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's better than the Pacific Coast for seafood.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: And I think there's probably no question about that. Boston,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: though of course it's chowda and lobster rolls. We do thes.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: We do the cold lobster rolls with the mayo. You
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: don't want to overdo it with the mayo, though, you
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: want like the good lobster meat. I know I should
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: on lobster because I think it's a sea bug, and
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's ridiculous that it became this like super
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: expensive rich people food when it used to be for peasants.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Because it's a fucking bug. I'll still eat lobster meat.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a huge fan of like a
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: whole lobster and having to do all that fucking work
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: because I'm lazy. I mean, I'll eat a lobster roll
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: once in a while. I prefer the mayo one to
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: the the hot one is more of the Connecticut style
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: lobster roll, which is like hot with butter. You can
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: still do that, but I prefer Even though I'm not
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: really a huge mayo guy, I still prefer the cool
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: lobster roll with lots of meat, not a ton of mayo,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: but some mayo you need in there. I don't like
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: any extras on it either, like some places will throw
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: lettuce in that shit and whatever. I don't think you
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: need that. Just highlight the meat and then you can
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: put a little lemon on it. That's basically what you do. Squirt,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: squeeze some lemon on that shit. Pretty much good enough.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, all that shit in the and we do.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: We have oysters as well, of course, because Union Oyster
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: House is huge, of course they have oysteres. I'm not
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: a huge oyster guy either though, but oyster. You know,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: if it's a good oyster, squeeze a little lemon on it.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Eat that shit, just slurp it down. Whatever it's It's
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: not really my thing. It's almost like eating a loogie.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It's like that's Jim Gaffigan
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: his thing. He hates seafood. Like, who's the first person
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: who wanted to eat an oyster? Like, Hey, there's a rock,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: a rock with a snot in it, let's eat it. Yeah,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, dude, you think I would like seafood more
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: being in Boston, But I'm not like huge into it. Yeah,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: clam Showder definitely a fan fry clam dude, anything fried,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking eat it. So whatever lobster rolls are
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: fine if you like lobster rolls. By the way, I
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: like James Hook. Is that the name of it. That's
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: like right near the water as well. It's in the
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: Boston See it's in the Seaport area. Uh yeah, James Hook.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's the best cold lobster roll that you
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: can get. Yeah, So that's my recommendation for that one.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: Is it's good at some other places to them Neptune
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: Oyster House, I'm pretty sure it does a good lobster.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've had it though. That's in
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: the North End. Of course, they are big with oysters.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: They always have a line like around the fucking corner.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: So everybody likes Neptune. So that's another one of the
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: big places for seafood. But Boston, dude, I mean, I'm
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: fucking Italians, you know me. We're going on the Boston
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Food Tour here while I'm still still up for the night. Dude.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: I love Italian food, so you know me, I'm gonna go. Dude.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: I love the North End. To the North End, it's
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: still it feels like an old European city still, like
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: that's one of the areas of Boston. It's still not
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: like totally overwhelmed with you know, the homeless bullshit and whatever,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: because I think it's because the Italians still live there
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: and they're like, nah, we're not gonna allow this shit. Yeah,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: but there are a lot of good Italian wrestlers. I mean,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: everybody know. It's it is touristy though, like a lot
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: of people go there. The tour will go to the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: big Italian restaurants that are there, you know. I mean
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: I differ in opinion with a lot of people about
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: like the pizza there and whatever. I think you can't
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: go wrong with any of the restaurants in the North
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: End though. Yes, that's the little Italy and Boston is
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: the North End. Yeah, the Old North Churches there, which
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, that's like the that's one of the ends
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: of the Freedom Trail. I think it's technically the start
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: of the Freedom Trail of the Old North Church is there.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: You can go there and get some history there that
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: is right in the North End. But yeah, like you
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: can't go wrong with any of the Italian restaurants really
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: in the North End, you know, and most of them
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: have lines, most of them. It's it's tough to get
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: a reservation because it is very touristy, but in the
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: winter it's easier to do because it's not tourist season anymore.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: On the winter man and the winter means that the
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: homeless people aren't outside as much anymore. Yeah, yay winter. Yeah,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: it's like in the thirties out here now. Yay. But yeah, dude,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: I like Ernesto's for pizza, which a lot of people
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: are gonna disagree with me on that. That's my favorite
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: pizza in Boston, or Nesto's that's in the North End.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: They're like a classic like Italian. I think they call
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: it old World style pizza. It's very similar to New
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: York thin crust, which I think is still like the
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: best style of pizza. I know, that's just the way
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: that it is. I think the New York thin crust
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: is still the best pizza that there is. But these Boston,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: the places in the North End that do that like
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: Boston style of pizza that's very similar to that. It's
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: that's really really good. And then you know people talk well,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: of course Pizzeria Reginas in the North End, the original
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: Pizzeria Regia. A lot of people hail that as the best.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: It's good, but I kind of disagree with it being
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: the best. I think it's it's got a lot of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: hype behind its name. Pizzerria Regia branched out and they
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: kind of I think they got a little bit too
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: big for themselves, Like they branched out and they have
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: these locations in like they used to have locations in
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: like malls and shit with malls or things. They kind
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: of went all over the like the region basical the
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: the original one in the North End still kind of
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: sticks to that like original recipe and they haven't really
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: fucked with it. So it's definitely not bad. It's still
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: like one of the top ones, I would say. And
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: then everybody talks about Santarpio's, but that's not in the
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: North End. That's in the East. That's in East Boston
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: in Easty, which if you want to go to Easty,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: it's gonna get a little more hard core over there.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: There's more more, more of a criminal element in East Boston.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: Although you know, my mom actually worked at East Boston
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: for like, I don't know, more than forty years, but
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: she blended right in because it's like, oh she's this
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: like crazy like Italian lady. She fits right in in
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: East Boston because East Boston is still pretty heavily Italian,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: but Santarprio's is over there. They're widely considered to be
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: the best pizza in Boston by a lot of people.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: It's similar like Italian style, if you want to go
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: over there. I mean, it's good pizza for sure. I'm
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: Santarpio is, by the way, famous for having like like
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: some of the like uh mafia kills. They would like
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: dump the body in a trunk and just park the
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: car in the parking lot of Santarpios. Like I'm not kidding,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: like that has definitely happened. No. Mark Wahlberg is from Dorchester.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: He's from the Irish section basically Dorchester. Well, actually Dorchester
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: is kind of a mix because you dude, Boston still
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: has all these different like neighborhoods, Like Roxbury is basically
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: like is like very black, and then like Dorchester is
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: kind of like like then you have Roxbury, then you
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: have Dorchester, which just kind of more like Irish, although
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a mix of those two things. And
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: then uh, Selthy is being very gentrified. But Selthy used
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: to really be the Irish place. I think Mark Wahlberg
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: is from Dorchester though, I think which Dorchester is basically
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: kind of like between those two. But it used to
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: be like Roxbury and Sealthy. It was like people from
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: one would never go to the other because it was
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: like Roxbury is where the black people are and sell
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: is where like the Irish are. But Selthy is being
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: very very gentrified now that's self. Bust is basically where
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: the seaport is now and it's being so built up,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: like a lot of the new like office buildings that
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: they are and all these really expensive restaurants and stuff.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: It used to be very industrial there. Yeah, I don't know,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: keep them separated. Well, yeah, of course. You know if
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: you watch documentaries about it, they'll talk about the school
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: busting in the seventies just cause riots across the whole
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: city because dude, nobody wanted to do it, and like
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: do you blame them? Like people were like, no, I
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: don't want to bust my kid to another school, and
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: it went both ways to like people just they didn't
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: want to do it. I like that's just the way
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: that it is. Like people like they want to stick
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: to what they know, what they do. Whatever. The whole
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: thing was, Oh, we need to give you know, black
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: people an opportunity to go to these schools that are
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: considered to be better schools. But it was just a
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: total disaster. Like people just started pulling themselves out of
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: like pulling their kids out of school and whatever, which
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: was probably better because the public school system is not
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: good anyway. But that was a crazy time in Boston.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I was not alive yet. That was like in the seventies,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of stuff going on. And we
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: talked about San Francisco a little while ago. The basketball
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: team that's where Bill Russell played, by the way, uh,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: and I guess, you know, when he played for the
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: Celtics in Boston, I guess the Celtics were not like
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: a hot commodity like I guess even though the Bruins
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: sucked for a lot of that time, a lot of
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: the people in Boston still were just packing the Bruins
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: games and not really going to the Celtics games. Basketball
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: was kind of a new thing back then too. But
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but Boston, I mean, that's where some
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: of the you know, the oh Boston is a racist
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: city comes from, because it was like, oh, we're gonna
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: go like hockey, but hockey existed for a lot longer,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: and the Bruins were an original six NHL team too,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, don't send your kids to public schools.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, what else I was gonna I forget what
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: else I was gonna say, Oh, we were talking about pizza. Yeah,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And then I got yeah, I got
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: into oh, these are the Irish neighborhoods, uh, the Italian
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: neighborhoods whatever. Yeah, And of course, dude, Irish and Italian
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: they didn't like each other either, like, none of these
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: groups of people like each other, and those there was
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: like a mob war across the city like for decades between.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: It's like it doesn't really happen anymore, really, but it
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: was like the Italian mafia in the North End and
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: Easty versus the Irish, which was Whitey Bulger was in
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: the Irish mob and they were in like the Dorchester
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: area and in like Somemmerville, which is north of Boston. So
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: that was like a whole thing as well. Slummerville we
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: call Slummerville is it's a weird place, man, It's a
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: it's still kind of an Irish. It's like, I don't know,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: do we call it white trash. I mean that's kind
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: of it's kind of what it is. Yeah, So there's
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: all that too, and then you got Summerville's that kind
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: of right next to Cambridge and Cambridges where all the
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: hybrid and MIT students are. So it's like a progressive hellhole.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, everything is really really weird in Boston, man,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: and the Boston proper is just kind of a mix
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: of everything in the middle. In the middle of the city,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: you just don't know what you're gonna get really, so yeah,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that's h Yeah, that's the layout of Boston.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: I was talking about pizza. I mean pizza. I like
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: to sell Shore pizza better and if you want more
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts foods, or sell Shore Massachusetts, which is where I'm from. Initially,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: we have a regional style of pizza that we only
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: we do here and it doesn't exist anywhere else. The
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: it's called the bar pizza, the sell Shore bar pie,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: and it is really good. It's a it's an individual
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: ten inch pan pizza. You can only get it in
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: this specific region. And it was like, you know, I
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: grew up with that, which is so I'm kind of biased,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: but it's it's legitimately good. They put it in like
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: what they use, like these small pans that are designed
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: for it. They actually use cheddar. Cheese is on it,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: which it's a fatty cheese, So the pizza gets really greasy.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: It sounds weird, but it works. Uh it's kind of
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: like a sweet ish sauce that kind of mixes well
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: with the cheddar because the cheddar is a little bit sharper,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense. And then the cheese, it's loaded
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: with cheese, and the cheese goes all the way to
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: the edge of the pan, and you want it laced.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: Like by default, these places should just lace the edges
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: because that's what you want. Where the cheese goes all
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: the way to the edge and then it like gets
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: cooked onto the edge, you know what I mean. So
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: you get this overcooked cheese that creates like this crispy
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: cheese on the edge. It's fucking good man. Uh So yeah,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: fucking Sellshore bar pizza. Come to Massachusetts. You can't really,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: you can't get it in Boston. You gotta be on
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: the Cell Shore for the bar pizza and go to
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: a few of the places. A cape cod is still
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: one of the they're the places I think is considered
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: to be the place that originated at cape Cod Pizza.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: They're not on cape Cod though they're in Brockton, mass
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: The problem is Brockton is like one of the highest
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: crut I'm cities in Massachusetts. You want to go, you
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: gotta battle the crime. But you can go to Cape Cod.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: Their pizza is legit. It's good, and they also sell
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: frozen variety of it as well. You can get it
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: in like supermarkets and shit, they're good. They're considered to
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: be good. The lynn Wood is considered to be all right,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: which I think is also in Brockton. I think cape
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: Cod is better. Cape Cod's kind of the go to.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: My family, actually, we have a tradition of getting cape
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: Cod pizza on Christmas Eve as well. For whatever reason,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't remember when exactly that started.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a thing for my entire life, but plans
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: changed a little bit and we do that for Christmas Eve,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: so that's a thing. And then a couple other places
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: for the bar pizzas a town spa, which I believe
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: is in Stoughton. I always dude, it's like these towns
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: all kind of just meshed together. I'm like, wait, is
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: that in Stoughton or Abington? And I forget. People don't
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: know how to pronounce any of these team names either.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: People don't know how to pronounce Stoughton. You'd never be
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: able to guess how it's spelled. But that place is
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: good town spot. I mean, some people will tell you
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit overrated. I kind of like it.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: I like the vibe in there. I mean they got
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: a nice bar set up in there where you can
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: sit and watch games and shit, and they got decent
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: bar pie there. And then Poopsie's in Marshfield, Mass is
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: also one of the better uh bar pizzas as well.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: They've been around for a long time. Terrible name. I
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: think it was named after the owner's wife, like a
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: long time ago here. Her nickname was Poopsie and that's
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: why it's called that some shit like that. I don't know.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: But they're they're cash only, so if you go there,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: you got it. I think they have an ATM probably
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: some something like that, but they do that, and they
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: have really cheap pictures of beer there too, So that's uh,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: that's the thing over there. And these pizzas are cheap too.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: The South Shore of bar pie. It's cheap man and
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: they use like the crust for that pizza is almost
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: like a cracker. It's like a buttery crust that it's
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: almost Yeah, it's almost like a it's hard to describe.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a cracker like texture. It's good. Yeah.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: Detroit style. Detroit style is good to Detroit Style is
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: definitely thicker than this, but it's similar because it has
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: the it's a it's cooked in a pan and it
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: goes right to the cheese, goes right to the edge.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: That part of it is similar. So yeah, I like
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: that too. A new job being a tour guide. It
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: will thank you. I think you're all biased towards me here.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just standing up late because I can't stop talking.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: And then the North Shore has a rivalry with the
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: Cell Shore. This is all end on this. The north
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: Shore in Massachusetts they consider their regional food item to
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: be better than the Cell Shores. I gotta stick with
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: the Cell Shore because that's my thing. But the north
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: Shore roast beef sandwich is it is really really good,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I have to admit it is poopsies. Yeah.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: In the Deep South, I don't know. Where like the
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: owners of that place are actually from or whatever, but
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: they're a staple or no, they're not in Marshall, They're
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: in Pembroke. I think, dude, I get all these towns
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: mixed up because like the town line is like right
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: near some of these places. I'm like, wait, which town
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: is that thing? Any I don't know whatever I should
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: know because I'm like from like these towns in this area.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: So whatever. Don't want to dox myself. But the North
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: Shore roast beef, you also can't get that anywhere else.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: They do a roast roast beef sandwich. You can get
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: it at tons of places up on the North Shore.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: They take roast beef and they slice it really thin,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: and it's got to be rare, like rare or medium rare.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: It's got to be like pink roast beef warm shave,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: really thin, and they pilot onto the onto it and
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be on an onion roll. Typically the
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: roles just got to be robust enough to hold everything
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: that they put on it. But you get the roast
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: beef piled really high. And the way to get it
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: is called the three way because because it's really really sexy,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: but that's really the only way that you should get it.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: And they douse the entire thing. It's called the three
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: way because it has three toppings. One is the whole
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: thing gets doused in James River barbecue sauce, which is
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: a local barbecue sauce. It's sweet, and usually that thing
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: just it drenches the entire outside of the sandwich, like
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: if they do it right. That's the way that it is.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: It's an extremely messy sandwich. And then it has mayo
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: on it and American cheese and the cheese has to
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: like start melting onto the sandwich a little bit. And
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: that is the sandwich. That is the three way. There
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: are other varieties of it, but I think that's the
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: way you gotta get it. Man fucking North Shore Roast Beef. Man.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: Of course, the originator of it is Kelly's Roast Beef,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: but they've definitely like gotten too big for themselves. I
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: think Kelly's Roast Beef, like if you can go to
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: the original location, which is in uh I believe it's
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: in Revere. Not a good place to Revere or not
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: great by the way, Revere Beach is right there. It's
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: it's basically a whole Like there's yeah, like just hypodermic
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: needles all over the beach and shit. So you can
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: get a Kelly's roast beef, which is way overrated because
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: they don't take quality serious anymore. Sit on the beach,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: Sit on a needle while you eat it. Man. Kelly's
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: Roast Beef used to be good, but they've expanded into
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: you know, airports and shit. I mean, I guess it's
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: fine for you know, if you want to get something
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: quick at an airport and get one of those things,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: it's all right, but like you're also paying a bit
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: too much for it, I think too. So Kelly's not
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: actually the place to go. Even though they're the original
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: of the roast beefs, they's not that good anymore. They
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: got too big for themselves. They're just going based off
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: of their name. At this point, some of the places
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: that are better are, like well, Bella's, which is in Uh,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: Where the dude, I get all these towns mixed up?
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: At this point, Bella's is in fucking Uh? Is it
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: in Peabody? I forget? Do I forget? Which all these
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: north short towns blend together to? But whatever Bella's is
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: one of the best, and then I would say Modern Butcher,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: but I even I haven't had Modern Butcher's roast beef
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: because they only sell it on Saturday. They're a place
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: that does meet like really seriously, and they literally they
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: brine the beef for the roast beef all week and
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: you can literally only get it on Saturday, and they
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: only sell it from when they open to when they
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: run out of it, and there's always a huge line.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty insane. But a lot of people consider
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: them to be the best, and maybe they're right. I
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: haven't tried it. And then there's a Lawndies is another place,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: which I believe is it's in one of those fucking
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: towns up there. I get them all mixed up, man,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: they're all in fucking Peabody, ip Switch. I don't know
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: all those all those places that are up there, whatever,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: those are like some of the best places to go, though,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: like other people will name other places, I wouldn't do it. Oh,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: and I was gonna say quickly in the North End
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: for touristy shit in the Italian section. The Italian food
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: is not just pasta pizza and stuff like that, although
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: that's all really good, but The North End also has
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: Italian pastry shops, and there's a huge rivalry in the
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: North End of Boston between Mike's Pastries and Modern Pastry.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: So like Mike's is like the real tourists he spotted,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: they kind of do like they're they're like quirky. Oh,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: we have many Canoli's and like that's where like all
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: the tourists go Mics. It's certainly not bad, but Modern
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: is kind of like the classic like Italian, So I
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: think Modern is kind of more like that's where like
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: the local Italian people tend to go more so to them,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: and the tourists go to MIC's. So I lean to
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: Modern slightly, but I do. They're both good, so like
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: I can't really I can't hate on either of them.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: But Mike's does more like kind of quirky spins on
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: some of their some of their pastries, whereas I'm modern,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: like stix to the classics, like you'll you'll get a
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: full canoe there if size matters. So if you're a
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: canol size queen, all right, I think that's that's gonna
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: do it. Italian pastries, yeah, and you can get those
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: what are those things called the Italian just called like
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: the Italian cookies or whatever, right, like the they're like
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: the Italian flag, you know what I mean, they're green,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: red and white. I think it's just called an Italian cookie.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: Those things are good too. It's like whatever they put
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: on an amaretto or whatever. Those are good as well. Yeah,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff there. You get the
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: pit salies. Uh, those you know Italian cookies where they
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: use Annis in them. I'm not a huge Annis guy
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: because I'm not gay. I'm not I'm not I'm not
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: huge into the Anus. No. I mean I like pitzales.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: I mean they're all right, those Italian cookies. They're good
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: to like eat with like coffee or something like that,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: or tea. I guess if you're a tea guy also gay,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: also you can good You can get good Italian coffee
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: in the North End too. There are some nice little
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: Italian cafes there and you can get some some really
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: good coffee. All right, that's gonna do it, boss, some

• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: game starts, but i'll probably wake up while it's on
