19
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: a few minutes, let's just recap the glory that was

20
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: the live episode of The Favorites last night at Follies

21
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: in Manhattan. We're recording this on Tuesday afternoon. I know

22
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: I said it's Wednesday, but recording it on Tuesday afternoon?

23
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Is it? Folies in Manhattan. It's on thirty third Street,

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: right across in the Empire State Building between fifth and six.

25
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: They were phenomenal hosts. I encourage everybody to go to

26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Folies when they're in New York. It is an incredible

27
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: ball are great food, great drinks, great space. Um. You know,

28
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I was nervous about filling the place. I'm always nervous

29
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: about these events. I'm an author, as you know, and

30
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I've had these events where literally like there'd be two

31
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: of us who wrote a book and one person show

32
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: up for a book signing. So I always get a

33
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: little nervous about these um. But the entire team did

34
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: an incredible job. Uh. Let me just give shout outs

35
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: to obviously the Matt producers, Matt Ford, Matt Heavier, Matt Mitchell,

36
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: who is one of our audio leaders who was in

37
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the office today. He was like the warm up act

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: um at the show. He was fantastic. Alex Hyath, sinth

39
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: Antonio Enriquez, Connor Davidson, our video and audio team. Um

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: Connor Nulty was helping to sort of organize merch for fans.

41
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Alex Koontz was helping to organize merch for fans. It went,

42
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: It went great. Everyone did an amazing job. We had

43
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: like two hundred of people there. We were turning people away.

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Scooch turning people away. That's unbelievable. It was stunning. Yeah,

45
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: I wish I was there. I do too. So the

46
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: bad news is that we didn't get to do anything

47
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: that we had planned to do with you, just because

48
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: technically what it just ended up not being possible. It

49
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: got complicated. UM, but I will say you were missed

50
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: like you were totally missed. There are people who have

51
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: been listening to the podcast since it was Behind the

52
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Bets on ESPN, and so many people said to me,

53
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: I just love Scooch. I've been listening forever. It's a

54
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Wednesday staple for me. I love the way he laughs.

55
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: He makes me so happy. All of that. Wow, that's

56
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: how I praise, Thank, thank you, thank everybody. Really really

57
00:03:53,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: really was um. Hold on one sec and I'm sponding

58
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: to our UM props person. Hold on, he's on me

59
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm letting him know when we're calling.

60
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: So uh, it was an amazing event. And um, you

61
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: definitely missed people like to hear your voice. That's nice

62
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: to know. I appreciate that, I really Bill. Yeah, yeah uh,

63
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 1: But it's also encouraging. We can just do it again,

64
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: like and next time, maybe we can do it when

65
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: you're in New York so you can appear and it

66
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: can get people more and more excited. Yeah, for sure,

67
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I am less afraid to do it again, just because

68
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: you know of the my entirely irrational fear that nobody

69
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: will show up. I mean, it's not an irrational fear,

70
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: it's a real fear. It is a real fear. I

71
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: will be honest. I hate like having to be one

72
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: of the reasons people show up places. You hate having

73
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: to you the reason they show up, like one of

74
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: the reasons why they would come somewhere, Like some people

75
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: like get excited to be the center of that particular moment.

76
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't love it, wow, which is weird for someone

77
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: with as big an ego as me. I don't love

78
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: it either, though I don't like them. I'm i'd like

79
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: to I'm more anonymous. Yeah, and yet here we are

80
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: doing this podcast week after week. Yep, it's unreal. Um,

81
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: but we will do another one. We will do another

82
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: live pod and uh we'll invite a lot of people

83
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,159

84
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: scooch there, let me tell of some of these people.

Speaker 1: Oh how great they were great, so much fun. Um.

100
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: One woman honest to God. One woman came up to me.

101
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: Her husband works for the federal government, and she uh

102
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: they had planned to come to the podcast together. They

103
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: had gone to Africa. They had no WiFi and they

104
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: listened to every episode of the Favorites on their trip

105
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: to Africa, and so they were coming to the podcast together.

106
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: He works for the federal government and they were shut

107
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: down and then they opened and so he had to

108
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: end up going to work on Monday. Wasn't able to

109
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: take the day off. So she came by herself with

110
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: a copy of one of my books and said, I'm

111
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: doing this for my husband. I promised him I would

112
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: get the book signed and get a picture with you

113
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: and Blackjack, who you know I host the Friday podcast with.

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: How nice is that? She looked at me and she goes,

115
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: it's to your kindness, right, Holy cow, had is unbelievable.

116
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: She goes, also, if I do this, we're going to Maldives. Also,

117
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: we had set the over under on women at the

118
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: podcast at three and a half. I think we were

119
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: at five, and that's women who are not women who

120
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: are not related to anybody associated with the podcast. And

121
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: three of the women came up to me and said,

122
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm here because my husband made me come. So you

123
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: guys would have more than three and a half women

124
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: at the podcast. That's great. Yeah, anyways, it was a

125
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: great show. I am truly appreciative of everybody that came

126
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: and the Action Network team that that pulled it off.

127
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Actual shout out again. I gotta give a special shout

00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: I got him and I just laughed. He said it

156
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: at four and four and a half, white father, kids,

157
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: and Bob Kraft are given, so then it just becomes

158
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: who's next, like and then he sent a picture. Here's

159
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady kissing his dad. Here's Tom Brady kissing his

160
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: son on the lips. Here's Tom Brady kissing Bill Belichick

161
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: on the lips. Here's his mom on the lips. Smack smack,

162
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Right, they are fully locked right here? This

163
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: is insane. Oh my god, were they real photos or

164
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: were they photoshop? That those are actually real photos. I

165
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: don't know if Matt Bobo has like photoshop capabilities like this, Um,

166
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: give me one of your favorites. My favorite, My favorite

167
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: was the Scoots Roulette. I mean that that one really

168
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and if there was a way that I could do it,

169
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: I would actually say that I would have wanted to

170
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: put this one up because it was a layout and

171
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: was based on the player to score the first touchdown,

172
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: and each player was like a different square like on

173
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: a roulette wheel, and he had all the odds. Uh.

174
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Some of the players were in red somewhere in black,

175
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: so you can bet red or black, and and you

176
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: know the top section, middle section, and bottom section you

177
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: got two to one odds. I thought it was fantastic.

178
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I do meet the scene for a second. Let me

179
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: set the scene so it's uh Ted di Rienzo uh

180
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: wrote I'm a big fan of the podcast. Even spelled

181
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: your name right. Um, I'm a big fan of the podcast.

182
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: Always wanted to enter the contest, and I think I

183
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: have a good win this year. In appreciation of its

184
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: transition to the Action Network and Favorites podcast, I proposed

185
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: the Scooch roulette prop for those Super Bowls first touchdown score,

186
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: first touchdown score. The full version would have a roulette

187
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: style wayout with bet options for groups of players to

188
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: score the first touchdown. Each player is just like a

189
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: number on the roulette wheel, So you can bet on red, black,

190
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: each column group of six top bottom. And he actually

191
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: submitted illustrations, so like red minus one ten, Sony, Michelle

192
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: c j Anderson, Brandon Cooks, Josh Reynells, etcetera, Black minus

193
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: one ten, Todd Gurley, Robert Woods, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, Green

194
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: plus five fifty is the field and none like girl ahead.

195
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Now continue with your explanation. Yeah not that, Yeah that

196
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: did I take it off? No? That that? Yeah, that

197
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: was the entire concept. And and there's just the limitations.

198
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned last week on the show, sometimes I'm

199
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: at the mercy of whatever I'm able to put into

200
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: our our system to take wagers on. We can only

201
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: post like in each prop, we can only post one winner.

202
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: We don't have the capability of posting like multiple winners.

203
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: And this would require you know, uh, you post the

204
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: first half, the bottom third. You know that there's too

205
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: many too much to post. Yeah, just just great. UM,

206
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: loved it. Here's another one that I loved you ready,

207
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I should say that. Um. I just want to give

208
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: like as many entrance shoutouts as possible because I love

209
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: the creativity that people sent in. So I apologize for

210
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: listeners if they're like, I just want to get to

211
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: the winner. But people deserve to be heard on this. Um.

212
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: Keith len Tiney, who I actually emailed when he sent

213
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: this in IM like, dude, I don't know where we're

214
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna end up that, but this is fucking brilliant, brill alliance.

215
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: Keith Lentini? Do you remember this one? Yes? I do.

216
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Do you have the email in front of you? Do

217
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: you want to read it or should I? Uh, you can,

218
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: you can read it. Super Bowl fifty three is a

219
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Pat's rams rematch of Super Bowl thirty six, making it

220
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: a back to the future game. In the movie, Doc

221
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: Brown teaches us that time travel is only possible by

222
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: generating one one giga watts one point twenty one gig

223
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: watts of electricity through a lightning strike. In Super Bowl

224
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: thirty six, Brady and the Patriots began their game winning

225
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: field goal drive in the fourth quarter with one one

226
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: left on the clock. Back to the Future one prop

227
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: will lightning strike twice and the Patriots begin a scoring

228
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: drive with one or less left on the clock in

229
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: either half UH. In the movie Doc Brownson's Marty McFly

230
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: Back to the Future knowing that lightning would strike the

231
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: clock UH tower on November twelve, nineteen sixty UM Back

232
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: to the Future Prop two. Well, Kyrie Irvingham, that one

233
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: I didn't like as much. Let's stick the number one. UH.

234
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: We almost chose this one. Yeah, tell me what's happening? Well,

235
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean the prop itself is will Tom Brady UH

236
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: mount a game winning drive with one one seconds or

237
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: less left on the game clock as he did in

238
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: the first rematching, the first match of these two teams.

239
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: So essentially that's the prop. The reason, one of the

240
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: reasons we chose not to use it was the whole

241
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: thing was in the explanation. I mean, if you just

242
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: saw a prop that said, well, Tom Brady mounted game

243
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: winning UH drive with one twenty one or less on

244
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: the clock, you wouldn't really get the whole concept. So

245
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: we would have needed like a lot of room on

246
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: the board to explain what exactly the prop was that

247
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Act to the Future prop. And also I don't want

248
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: to get sued by Robert Zemecke's but you know, that's

249
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: another factor. But but it was a brilliant, brilliant prop.

250
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was so good, so smart. I like,

251
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hire this guy. He's so creative Keith Lynn

252
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: teeny um. The general themes for props this year were

253
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: age like everybody was making a prop between Belichick and

254
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: McVeigh or Goff and Brady in their ages. Uh, and

255
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: government shutdown? Will you know X be longer than the

256
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: government shutdown? Right? Yeah? A lot of a lot of

257
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Tom versus Time. I can't, I can't all different props,

258
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: but they were all named Tom versus Times. There was

259
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: quite a few of those. Uh. Here was another good

260
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: one from Dan McKenna. Over two and a half years

261
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: until the Scoots are headlining halftime of the Super Bowl.

262
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm going way over two and a half on that one,

263
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: way over. But that was a good one. I like

264
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: that was from Dan Dan McKenna. Al Right, scooch, we

265
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: are bringing in now the winner of our Get Your

266
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Prop Up in Vegas Contest, the tenth annual contest. This

267
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: is our tenth winner. His name is David Taylor, and

268
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: we are catching him at an airport. He just got

269
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: through security. He's giving us fifteen minutes before he gets

270
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: on a plane because my sense he's a very important

271
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: person and he's got some places to be. David Taylor,

272
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites. Thank you for your submission. Congrats

273
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: on your big win. I feel like this is the

274
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: pinnacle of my my bedding career. I just don't know

275
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: where it goes from here. Guys, well, hopefully it doesn't

276
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: go down. Uh. Scooch say hello to David Taylor. David, congratulations,

277
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: love your prop. Thank you guys. So it was fun

278
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: getting creative and thinking about it. So let's um tell

279
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: people what the prop is. So. Uh. One of the

280
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: themes we talked about this if You're a came on, David,

281
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: like a lot of themes about Tom Brady and age

282
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: and Jared Goff and Bill Belichick and Sean McVeigh and

283
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: government shutdown. But I think Scooch and I both felt

284
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: like you hit on a theme that was incredibly important

285
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: to the NFL and was very sort of timely, which

286
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: was referees and their performance and kickers which was thematic

287
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: for the entire year in the NFL. So your theme

288
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: was referees versus kickers, um. And your prop is what

289
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: will have a greater total yardage totally yardage of all

290
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: made field goals or totally yardage of all accepted penalties.

291
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: And what I loved was you did the research average

292
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: penalties against accepted for rams and pats around fifty yards

293
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: per game. UM. So I thought that was amazing that

294
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: you had that, and that you know, obviously referees are

295
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: going to be so important and you had the expected

296
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: uh the acted the made made field good yardage and

297
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: accepted penalty yardage to both be around. So kudos, man.

298
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: Tell me how you thought of it. Yeah, you hit

299
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: a chair. I was just thinking about what's making the

300
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: headlines recently and how to put that in a prop,

301
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: and I just kept coming back to this, this visual

302
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: of referees verse kickers and some sort of proposition octagon

303
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: squaring off, and it's just I just know I had

304
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: to stick with it and kept playing with numbers to

305
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: figure out if I can come up with two numbers

306
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: that were close to try and keep you know, keep

307
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: the line around minus one tin and just landed on

308
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: those two. So I think minus one TI might be

309
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: a little bit uh generous for the Kickers. After thinking

310
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: about it, I think the Kickers might need to be

311
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: a small favorite. But all let's Cooch do the pricing

312
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: on the prop. What do you think of what he's saying. Yeah, yeah,

313
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: that was my initial reaction, just a slight favor. But

314
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: I but I like the numbers, and we could we

315
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: could adjust it. We might. We might even put in

316
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: minus a couple of yards like mine put in minus

317
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: two and a half. But it is very very miller,

318
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, the expected yardage outcomes. Excuse what did you

319
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: like about this problem? Well, like, it's simple, easy to understand.

320
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot of explaining to do. That

321
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: that's always key. It's it's easy to kind of put

322
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: into the system and still be interesting enough to where

323
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: it can generate a lot of conversation. And like we

324
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: said before, it's topical. I mean this is especially coming

325
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: off of that Saints game. Referees are very topical, and

326
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: we did get quite a few props that had kind

327
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: of referees involved in it. But but I think this

328
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: was kind of simple and to the point enough to

329
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: to where it kind of hit on all the things

330
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: we're looking for. David, you mentioned you you sort of

331
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: had a vision of referees and kickers facing off in

332
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: some kind of proper octagon, which is a funny way

333
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: to describe it. Uh. How much time did you spend

334
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: trying to research and thinking about this problem? Oh, maybe

335
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty minute thinking of the idea, and then of

336
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: course the research I'm trying to come up with pricing

337
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: was it was most of the time. And I was

338
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: also trying to come up with the prop that could

339
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: stay alive till the very end of the game. Uh.

340
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the props they're decided by

341
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: a first quarter or third quarter, if you know, they

342
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: go with a limit, so you know that if if

343
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: the game comes down to a field goal and that

344
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: swings the proper one way or the other. I think

345
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: that's a pretict sing outcome for everybody. That that God,

346
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't even considered that, that is, I didn't need.

347
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: That's a great brilliant Yeah, oh my god, that is

348
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: so good. Uh David, where are you from. I'm out

349
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: of the Springfield, Missouri area, Springfield, Missouri. I like that.

350
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've ever had anybody on from

351
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: Missouri ever. We've heard of it, but probably not. Well.

352
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: I know it, I know it. I know it is

353
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: the It's not the capital of Missouri, that's Jefferson City. Yeah,

354
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Springfield is the capital of Illinois where I am from.

355
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: You and I are natural geographic rivals right there, right there. Um,

356
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: how long you have been gambling? What's your what's your

392
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: where is the game for you? We are big Rams

393
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: fans were at Patriots minus two and a half minus

394
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: of dollar twenty UM. All of the early money all

395
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: throughout the last week was it was all on Patriots.

396
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: UM drove the line by Friday. I went to three even,

397
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: which I didn't think I would do. But I went

398
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: to three even. I was there for about two and

399
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: a half days, and uh, I went back yesterday to

400
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: two and a half minus twenty on the game. Took

401
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: a couple of couple of bets on the RAM, not

402
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: not enormous bets, but I just didn't want to get

403
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: completely off of the decision. Having him having moved it

404
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: from the Rams minus one to the Patriots minus three.

405
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want to give everything back on the Rams

406
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: at plus three, So we went back to two and

407
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: a half minus twenty, where we're taking more Patriots action.

408
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: And um what size bets? Tell me about the size

409
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Johnny Um. Most of the most of the big bets

410
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: that we've taken were in the neighborhood of ten to

411
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty thousand, UM. We took a couple of a couple

412
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: of fifty thousand dollar bets uh, one on one on

413
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: each side, so uh that that kind of balanced balanced

414
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: things out. But most of the most of the ten

415
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand dollar bets were on the Patriots and UM,

416
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: and then quite a few on the under the game.

417
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: Uh in the neighborhood of ten twenty thousand under fifty

418
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: ninety eight, we're down the fifty seven on the game

419
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: who went as low as uh uh fifty six and

420
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: a half and that came back up, So a lot

421
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: of money on the under from sharp guys under. Uh.

422
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: What about when it got down as low as it did,

423
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: did they start buying back on the over? Uh? Just

424
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: then we started seeing a lot of public uh money,

425
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: some sizeable bets from from but just not from professional

426
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: betters that we know of. And there's still some fifty

427
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: six and a half out there, and it's it's just

428
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: building up. Parleys are building up on either team to

429
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: the over. So so everybody likes to parlay either the

430
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: Patriots and over or the Rams and over. So we

431
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: have much more parley money on the over, but all

432
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: the straight pet money is on the under, So we've

433
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: got two kind of dynamics going against each other. The

434
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: sharp guys love the under in this game. They're betting

435
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: the under in the first half under in the quarters.

436
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: Everything having to do with the under and a much

437
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: lower scoring game than went the line would dictate and uh,

438
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: and then of course the public loves the over, so

439
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: they're going against each other. Do the wise guys like

440
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: the under at any price? Like I see this at

441
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: fifty seven and a half, and I like the over.

442
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: When you say any price, I mean at at fifty six,

443
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: I didn't see too much action coming under like fifty

444
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: six and a half. UM, So at any price, I'm not.

445
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: I don't know that they like it at any price,

446
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: but they certainly think it's you know, I certainly think

447
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: it's going to go under. What do you think, Well,

448
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: we liked it over. We tried to shade it on

449
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: the high side. We um and just looking at I

450
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: were we're trying to move to where the where we

451
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: think the public is going to be, because at the

452
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're gonna get much more public

453
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: money than we are from from some of the professionals.

454
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: But I think the second half is just gonna They're

455
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: just gonna light it up. I think they may come

456
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: out a little tentative. We may see under in the

457
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: first half. I could understand. I understand that a little

458
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: bit more. Um, But I just think it's going to

459
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: turn into a shootout. I do too. I think it's

460
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: going to be a shootout. I am decidedly on the

461
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: side of um anybody who's taking the Rams either. Honestly,

462
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him on the money line, um, but

463
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm certainly liking him a two and a half. And

464
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: if it gets back to Sunday and I can get

465
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: him at three, all the better. But I'm looking at

466
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: like a RAMS a close game and and over here.

467
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: Does that make me square? Yeah? Yeah, I don't think

468
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: it sure does on the over it on the over,

469
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: it does. I don't think the RAMS is a square play.

470
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: I think uh. I think the RAMS is probably on

471
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: the side of the where I think that the sharp

472
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: guys will be. They haven't really you know, the last

473
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: couple of years, the big heavy betting kind of professional betters,

474
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: the syndicates and so forth. Uh, they've haven't tipped their

475
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: hand until a couple of hours before game time, So

476
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: looking at some of this line move, I have to

477
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: just kind of keep that in the back of my

478
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: mind that, uh, a lot of the money that got

479
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: this game to move from minus one rams to minus

480
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: two and half New England wasn't the real big money

481
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: that we normally see from these guys. It was kind

482
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: of I'm just wondering if they're setting up a lot

483
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: of books to kind of get as high as they

484
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: can before coming in with both fishs on the rams

485
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: on game day you're getting played. Well, you know, they

486
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: they feast on When I say they, I mean like

487
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: the guys that try to manipulate the market, they kind

488
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: of feast on a lot of books moving lines very

489
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: quickly off of low money. So it's they know that

490
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: they can get a lot of sports books to to

491
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: move significantly on a game of this size off of

492
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: just you know, ten thousand dollar bets that they know

493
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: they can come in with ten times that amount on

494
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: game day and get the best number and have a

495
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: shot at a three point medal. So it's you know,

496
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: it's a great move by them, totally. Um, And that's

497
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: why I said I'm just real leary about going to

498
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: three and they're taking as much money on the rams

499
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: at plus three as I took on New England at

500
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: minus one, minus one and a half, minus two and

501
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: a half. That's just bad bookmaking. Yeah, it is bad bookmaking.

502
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: How many props did you post? I didn't count them,

503
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: but it looks like in the in the neighborhood of

504
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: about three hundred three props. What prop right now is

505
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: getting getting the most action? Uh? Well, the three kind

506
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: of the main stage that have been getting more and

507
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: more action every years. Will there be a safety, will

508
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: there be over time? And will there be a two

509
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: point conversion? And that draws the most money because there's

510
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: such big prices that will take these like ten thousand

511
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: dollar bets to win a thousand on the no, and

512
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: then we'll take like a hundred bets of a hundred

513
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: dollars on the yes. So so uh, it draws draws

514
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of action both ways. And uh and they're

515
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: they're probably getting the most um. I find it interesting

516
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: the coin toss prop. It seems like more people bet

517
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: heads by a by a much larger margin. That always

518
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: fascinates me. Yeah, I was on the train. I was

519
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: on the train coming into the city the other day

520
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: and I sat down and next to me was a

521
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: uh penny and it was heads up. I thought to myself, Picky,

522
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: pick a penny up all day long. You'll have good

523
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: luck unless it's tails, then it fails. That actually went

524
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: through your mind? Did it? Yeah? Totally did that safety

525
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: prop is interesting. So a couple of years ago, I

526
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: think the game began with the Broncos and the Seahawks

527
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: and there was a safety and like, how much did

528
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: that screw you guys up when it happened? Oh? So

529
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: it was ironic because we lost you know, hundreds of

530
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: thousands on the first. Not on the first was that

531
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: the first play of the game was the first scoring play.

532
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: So we had if I think it was fifty two

533
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: one that um that the that the first scoring play

534
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: would be a safety, or may have even been a

535
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: hundred to one at the time. Uh. So we we

536
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: got crushed on that one. We got crushed on a

537
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: couple of other props tied to a safety and tied

538
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: to you know, first score of the game. And uh

539
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: and then ironically it turned into our one of our

540
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: best Super bowls ever, uh because we needed the Seattle

541
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: big in that one. And uh, that was one of

542
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: the games that we opened pick and went to the

543
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: Broncos minus three. So even though it had the bad

544
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: beginning and had a great ending and we were able

545
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: to fade a lot of that loss. But then we

546
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: had another safety. I think Tom Brady threw in against

547
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons, wasn't it when he uh he threw a

548
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: pass in the end zone and there was a holding

549
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: call or intentional grounding in the end zone and another

550
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: one and and uh first scoring play of the game

551
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: was the safety. So it was to two years back,

552
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years back to back that crushed us.

553
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: And uh so that's why all of a sudden, like

554
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: the price and the safety is so much higher. Yeah, yeah,

555
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean the odds are really still the same, and

556
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: but there's just so much more interest in it now

557
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: from the general public that are looking to bet the yes,

558
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: and so that kind of gives a little bit value

559
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: to the sharp guys who are laying the price on

560
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: the no. So that's why I said strong in the

561
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: most action, What individual player props have you taken the

562
00:32:54,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: most action on? UM? I think most people are fascinated

563
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: with just anything having to do with Brady and golf.

564
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: UM just will Will Brady throw a touchdown in every

565
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: quarter things like that. I'm not sure that I have

566
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: just a ton on just one particular prop. Uh, We're

567
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: just starting to get so much money on all of them.

568
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know which one is leading the pack right now.

569
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Will you make more money? Will the handle be higher

570
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: on props than it will be on sides and totals?

571
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't think the handle will be higher. They're they're

572
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: getting pretty close. I think it used to be kind

573
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: of a sixty sixty split where about of the action

574
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: would come in on the props. So I don't think

575
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: that that's going to surpass the amount we right on

576
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: the game in total. But typically we we hold a

577
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: little higher percentage on a lot of these props. So, um,

578
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the win, the actual revenue part will be

579
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: higher than whatever we make on the game. Props have

580
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: become fascinating, I'm telling you, man, and I'm surprised you

581
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: guys don't do more of this in Vegas, but you

582
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: should be posting a ton of player props every night

583
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: for every NBA game. I'm working on it. Um, you know,

584
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: the hardest part is just the the setup or or

585
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: the automation in terms of the feed and everything. So, um,

586
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: we're working with a couple of companies right now. I'd

587
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: love to get it. I saw some fascinating stuff out there. Um,

588
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: just book its completely, you know, all the in game wagering.

589
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: This will be the biggest handle for in game wagering

590
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: this super Bowl than ever before because just more operators

591
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 1: have it and they have um, you know, a better

592
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: product now. So I know for us, this will be

593
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: the biggest in game wagering handle we've ever had. Didn't

594
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: take long, did not take long, No, not at all.

595
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean we've been talking about in the podcast all year,

596
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: like I love live wagering. I'm gonna live wager the

597
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: pole out of this game. I think. I think a

598
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: lot of people feel like, you know, especially if they

599
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: can't make up their mind on the uh the two

600
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: and a half points or maybe it's the total. Maybe

601
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: they just figure, let me watch the first five minutes

602
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: of the game, see how it pans out and see

603
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: if I can get any kind of value on something

604
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: that I do like or something that I do see,

605
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: And it's opened up a whole new dimension in betting.

606
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: I do think live wagering is bad for the punditry business,

607
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: because pretty soon it just doesn't make matter, like what

608
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: you what your opinion is pre game, because you can

609
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: just get off it as soon as you you know,

610
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: like I don't. It's a great point, like were you're

611
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: breaking down the game. I mean, the only thing you

612
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: could do is kind of like maybe break it down

613
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,160
