But it's nice that we're not doing 0:01:29.510 --> 0:01:32.630 the wait seven-year plan like the POED sometimes like to 0:01:32.670 --> 0:01:36.280 seem to do to hold our prospects hostage. So it's 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.699 nice to see him quickly. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.880 I'm not worried if you've ever listened to him or 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.660 talked to him. He's, you know, just even keel. I 0:01:44.700 --> 0:01:46.420 don't think the stage is going to seem too big. 0:01:46.470 --> 0:01:47.750 The moment won't seem too big. 0:01:47.770 --> 0:01:47.890 Yeah. 0:01:48.670 --> 0:01:50.930 I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a great performance. 0:01:51.290 --> 0:01:54.760 Next 15 against the division. This is make or break. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:56.980 You're in control of your own destiny. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.560 The American League and the division, you know, it's changing 0:02:00.620 --> 0:02:02.520 every single day. And I know, you know, you look 0:02:02.540 --> 0:02:03.800 at the standings right now. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.910 Seems like, you know, maybe a couple more games back 0:02:06.940 --> 0:02:08.169 than you would like to be, which is true. 0:02:08.270 --> 0:02:11.410 But things can change dramatically in these next 15. 0:02:11.410 --> 0:02:12.889 Sauce, you bet on the Twins tonight or not? 0:02:13.980 --> 0:02:16.720 Uh no i am not i would take uh probably 0:02:16.780 --> 0:02:19.160 the over the over is currently at nine i like 0:02:19.210 --> 0:02:22.710 betting the over you hate betting unders well it's less 0:02:22.770 --> 0:02:26.429 entertaining but uh i don't know i haven't i'll probably 0:02:26.450 --> 0:02:28.950 get a couple of sports bets in today but uh 0:02:29.370 --> 0:02:31.770 i haven't yet it'll uh probably slow down my slot 0:02:31.810 --> 0:02:33.750 play but uh quickly i know you got a ton 0:02:33.790 --> 0:02:36.030 of stuff there core did you guys hear this story 0:02:36.070 --> 0:02:38.190 about this guy that pretended to be a 49er player. 0:02:40.260 --> 0:02:42.620 And he scammed people out of like a million dollars 0:02:42.700 --> 0:02:44.390 or something? What are the details? 0:02:44.490 --> 0:02:46.869 But there's a picture up here on, because it's this big, 0:02:47.090 --> 0:02:49.130 you know, where all the betting and then there's the 0:02:49.210 --> 0:02:52.889 Circus Sports Twitter account that just keeps going by. There's 0:02:52.930 --> 0:02:55.470 a picture of him with a coach. I know not 0:02:55.510 --> 0:02:58.669 everybody can see me. They're drawing up plays on a 0:02:58.930 --> 0:03:03.280 beach somewhere, and he's wearing a 49ers helmet. It's unbelievable. 0:03:03.300 --> 0:03:06.020 So how did he get people to give him money? 0:03:06.100 --> 0:03:08.100 I didn't see that part, but I would guess that 0:03:08.139 --> 0:03:11.620 he just did fake appearances or something. I have no idea. 0:03:12.650 --> 0:03:17.180 What a disaster. Brett, do you know what happened? 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.650 I have no idea what he's talking about. I saw 0:03:19.669 --> 0:03:21.609 the headline that there was some dude that pretended to 0:03:21.650 --> 0:03:23.430 be a coach and scammed people out of like a 0:03:23.450 --> 0:03:25.370 million or so, but I haven't seen the method of 0:03:25.389 --> 0:03:29.310 the madness yet. Seems like we all are very intrigued 0:03:29.330 --> 0:03:30.790 by it because none of us clicked on it when 0:03:30.810 --> 0:03:32.410 we scrolled past it on Twitter. 0:03:32.490 --> 0:03:33.579 Sorry, I thought maybe one of you did. 0:03:33.590 --> 0:03:36.670 It was a federal romance and investment scam where a 0:03:36.670 --> 0:03:40.210 35-year-old man faked being an undrafted San Francisco. 0:03:39.850 --> 0:03:41.730 49ers wide receiver to defraud. 0:03:41.510 --> 0:03:45.190 At least 26 women out of over $ 1. 0:03:44.110 --> 0:03:44.970 3 million. 0:03:46.110 --> 0:03:50.250 He built an elaborate Instagram presence showcasing a fake NFL career, 0:03:50.610 --> 0:03:55.820 met victims on dating apps, and then, yeah, pointed, like, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.980 I guess once the trust was established, he posed as 0:03:59.540 --> 0:04:03.300 Love's financial advisor, convincing the women to hand over cash 0:04:03.580 --> 0:04:06.900 or take out heavy personal bank loans under the promise 0:04:07.060 --> 0:04:09.680 that their investments would quickly double or triple. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:10.560 Come on. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:12.680 Was he right? 0:04:13.500 --> 0:04:16.820 Yeah. They've not doubled or tripled yet. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.830 So he was pretending to be the wide receiver and 0:04:19.890 --> 0:04:25.860 the financial advisor. And so he would flirt with these gals, say, like, 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.210 I'm a wide receiver for the Niners. You should invest 0:04:29.250 --> 0:04:29.570 with me. 0:04:29.589 --> 0:04:30.890 Here's my guy. 0:04:30.930 --> 0:04:31.770 No, he had a partner. 0:04:31.790 --> 0:04:38.670 And an 18-year-old accomplice, Taylor Chan. Chan posed as the 0:04:39.130 --> 0:04:43.589 partner of love and his quote-unquote advisor, financial advisor. 0:04:44.430 --> 0:04:45.290 Why didn't I think of this? 0:04:45.370 --> 0:04:48.460 No, I'm not ripping. But it's 2026. Google it. Just 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.380 Google his name. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.159 He said to bypass skepticism, Love pointed victims to screenshots 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.779 of Google AI overviews that falsely identified him as a 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.560 49ers receiver. The AI search tools had mistakenly pulled data 0:05:02.900 --> 0:05:06.469 from fraudulent social media accounts and articles he generated himself. 0:05:06.890 --> 0:05:08.089 That's smart. 0:05:08.210 --> 0:05:09.270 He kind of. 0:05:09.270 --> 0:05:10.229 Earned the scam. 0:05:11.570 --> 0:05:12.230 I like this guy. 0:05:12.250 --> 0:05:12.690 He earned it. 0:05:15.260 --> 0:05:17.920 I just feel like if someone's asking you to take 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.300 out huge amounts of money, you should just be skeptical regardless. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.760 At any point, hey, give me $ 1, 000, you should have. 0:05:24.620 --> 0:05:25.049 Your card up. 0:05:25.170 --> 0:05:25.870 Oh, dude, by the way. 0:05:26.050 --> 0:05:26.950 Oh, yeah, sure. 0:05:26.990 --> 0:05:29.190 If you've got 15 minutes after the show, I have 0:05:29.210 --> 0:05:31.330 a business idea I wanted to run by. 0:05:31.350 --> 0:05:31.710 Oh, really? 0:05:32.070 --> 0:05:33.950 Okay.
