It is an 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: I Heart podcast, but it is a spinoff of the 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Ben Maller Radio Show and for Better or Worse.

Yes, it's a fun word, so I use word. 34 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: It's a good snipe woord like it's fun like Hornswoggle 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: is a good word. Flamm X is a good word. 36 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: These are the words I need to use more. I 37 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: try to work them into my lexicon, but I need 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: you need to use them more. You know what you 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: don't use for anger? You don't use livid at all. 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: I haven't heard you say living in a long time. No, 41 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: I do not usually use livid. I use enraged. Infuriated. 42 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: It's good. That's that's one that I've used a lot. 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: Piste off obviously everyone uses that one. Uh. I like, 44 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, what's good is on the war path that paints, 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: that paints a good visual like that, that makes me 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: go back to my glory day as of Nintendo sixty 47 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: four with Donkey Kong or something like that. You were 48 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: on the you were on the warpath. But here's any 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: vortex of outrage, that's a good one. It's a solid, 50 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: solid way to describe something. Is that what you would 51 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: describe the um the Beat and and natural reporters for 52 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: the l A Times are you? Are you referring to 53 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the Justin Turner story a few days back? Uh? Yeah, 54 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: Well listen that we often I work in I guess 55 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: we work in media, and I think this is me 56 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: it kind of it's radio. It's not really it's not 57 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: the normal normal media. But uh yeah, I've never been 58 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: a big fan of the panic peddlers. Uh. And this 59 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: was tremendous. Man chicken little running around ringing the bell. 60 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Justin Turner, the Merchant of Doom. It's 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: so so ridiculous. And I I didn't know the other 62 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: people were doing having these debates about oh my god, 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: this is the worst thing in the world and all 64 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: this stuff and Turner needs to be suspended and just stop, 65 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: just stop the guy. No one's gonna die from this. 66 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: Number one, that's the most important thing. Number two, what 67 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? He was he was around 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: all those guys. It's not like there's a light switch. 69 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: As I said on the on the radio the day, 70 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: It's not like a light switch. Were you all of 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: a sudden. Well, now, now if he stays away, everything's good. 72 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: He was around those guys for days before he finally 73 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: tested positive. So stop. Yeah, And if that's the case, 74 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: would you have kept you would have kept fellow Raised 75 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: players off a flight to go back home to Tampa. 76 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: You probably would have kept the entire umpiring crew away 77 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: from boarding a plane and going home. Well exactly. I 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: mean that's the thing. Because they claim it takes a 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: while for this thing to settle in and take ten days. 80 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: Usually it's when in a five day period, it could 81 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: take ten, fourteen days or whatever. So yeah, they seemed 82 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: like they were they were flying when they were flying back, 83 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the world will go on. I 84 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: think this will this will be all right, but it 85 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: made for some great They must get tremendous ratings here 86 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: with this. You know, if it bleeds, it leads stuff. 87 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: And you know, the more lower lured the story, the 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: better the ray things are gonna be. And there you go. Yeah, 89 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: my favorite is not reading the article, but reading the 90 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: comments or reading the comments to the tweet from said publication, 91 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: like that was the best. Well, what's it's great because 92 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: it's a lot of hacks, media hacks making it all 93 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: about them, you know, about their emotions and how they 94 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: were affected by Justin Turner's actions. It's it's very amusing, 95 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: it is. It's good, But that's the world we live 96 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: in now. And as you've gotta know, you've gotta you 97 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: gotta make it all is, make it all about you, 98 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: play the victim card rights the whole cottage industry there. 99 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: It's bewildering, but there's no end in. So it's that 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: twisted logic that is going on. But it's the way 101 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: of the world. But who is guilty about this? Like, 102 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: think about this for a second, because you get you 103 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: get journalists and reporters and hosts on both sides, but 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: they're clearly advocates for something or someone who's guilty of that. 105 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: The most though, is the people writing their checks or 106 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: is the is the way that the media is now 107 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: where people can be on a television at any given 108 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: time and gain that celebrity status immediately. It's like it's 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy. Though. The media like they hire 110 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: people that come from the same background educational wise, and 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: they they don't know for sure, but they have a 112 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: pretty good idea of their leanings on different issues, and 113 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: so they hire these people and then you know they're 114 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: from all different backgrounds, but they have the same beliefs 115 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: system So it ends up in the situation when but 116 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: uh so, normally on on our Friday podcast, we have 117 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: a conversation some old radio friend that I've known over 118 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: the years, or a political pundit or whoever we get on, 119 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: we'll put on. We've had athletes on this week, though 120 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: we decided not to do that because we would like 121 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: to use our a lot of time a little bit differently. 122 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but next week 123 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: is going to be a crazy week in American history 124 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: because on Tuesday, and it probably won't be decided on Tuesday, 125 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: but there's a little presidential election and uh, and then 126 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, take a day or two or three or four, 127 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: who the hell knows, but that is going to be 128 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: the number one story. And so I thought we would 129 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: try to decode it. And there's a couple of things 130 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna do here on this podcast. The first thing 131 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna do is give the Mallard Handbook to voting, 132 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: the Mallor Handbook Voting. And then the second thing we're 133 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: going to do is going to try to decipher um 134 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: the gambling odds because when you look at the you know, 135 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: the election, people are on one side or the other, right, 136 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, people obviously it's split pretty close to down 137 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: the middle in the country where you got half Republicans, 138 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: half Democrats and all that stuff. So the the thing 139 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: about gambling here is this is actually something that can 140 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: bring us all together. Right, this this is now you 141 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: can laugh, but this is something for the common goal 142 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: of making money. Right. Politics are known to divide people, 143 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: and you're cliches. You're not supposed to talk about them 144 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: when you're Thanksgiving dinner, you're hanging out with your loved 145 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: ones over any holidays. But if you can make money 146 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat and you can wake a couple 147 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: of bucks and you bet on Trump to win a 148 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: state that you're and he's all but guaranteed to win, 149 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: why would you not do that? And if you're even 150 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: if you're Republican, you know, do you think Joe Biden's 151 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: gonna lose California? I mean, that's easy money right there. 152 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: You put a bet down, Bam, you win a couple 153 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: of bucks. Um, So we're gonna hammer that. So that's 154 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: what's on the agenda, and anything else that pops up 155 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: is that is that? Okay, I guess gonna be a provably. 156 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm really curious about the Mallard school of voting. All right, 157 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: So the Mallard school of voting is pretty simple. I 158 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: I've I learned this years ago. Now I'm the only 159 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: one in the entire state that I live in that 160 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: does this. But essentially, there's so many propositions and nobody 161 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: really has the time to go through all of them 162 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: unless you're like a retired person, and then you have 163 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: the time to go through all the all the prepositions. 164 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: So what I do my move is, does this increase taxes? 165 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: If in any way there's a tax increase. No. My 166 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: default position on all props, all all propositions is no, no, no, 167 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: no no. Now lately I have added another thing just 168 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: in California here where I live, and I really want 169 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: to thank the people spending money on advertising here because 170 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: what I've noticed is when I see a commercial and um, 171 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, so and so proposition is endorsed by Gavin Newsom, 172 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: that's a no. Even if it's not involving tax, that's 173 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: a no. Uh So anything he does, so that's that's it. 174 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: And as far as the political things, uh, you know, 175 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: you don't have to go. I think one of the 176 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: big things here is you don't. It's a test. You 177 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: don't have to answer all the questions. People think you 178 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: have to fill out every part of the ballot or 179 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: the ballot's not complete. Some people think that. I don't 180 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: know why it says on the ballot you don't have 181 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: to but um, you know, if you don't have any 182 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: clue and you think you didn't study up, then don't 183 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: you don't have to vote? I mean, you don't have 184 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: to fill out every part of the ballot, is what 185 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. So that's pretty much the basics there. 186 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: When it comes to the propositions anything involving taxes. No, 187 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: they got enough of my money. Reallocate the money, find 188 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: a way to spend the money better. You got enough 189 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: of it, you don't need any more of it. And uh. 190 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: And there's also just a general belief here which a 191 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of people, the uneducated apparently to understand. 192 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: There is no such thing as a free lunch, like 193 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: if you know, always be a free education, free you know, medicine, 194 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna pay for it, free health care exactly, that's healthcare, 195 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: medic but someone's gonna pay for it, and so stop 196 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: and person is gonna pay for it in one way 197 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: or another? Is you so you know, But it's that 198 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: that magic trick you can convince stupid people. Well, no, 199 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna get it for free. You're not gonna know 200 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna get that money out of you one way 201 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: or another, so you just you won't realize what's going on, 202 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: and you'll think you're getting something. It's like anything way, 203 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: no business gives crap away for free without the thinking 204 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: that they're going to get something in return for it. Right, 205 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: It's it's beautiful in the sense nowadays to which people 206 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: don't realize that or see it until it hits him 207 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: upside the face. And I'll give you a perfect example 208 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: of this. I had um. I had surgery a couple 209 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: of years ago to fix a deviated septum, and Bennon, 210 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: when it came time to pay the pipe piper, I 211 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: had four different bills from four different parties. Uh an anesthesiologist, 212 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: a surgeon, the regular doctor that operated on me, and 213 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: then also the hospital all getting their cut one different 214 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: way or another, as opposed to like the old school 215 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: days when they would just build you right through the hospital. 216 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: But now it's like the doctors are having to pay 217 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: to use the hospital for their surgery, so now they 218 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: have to take it out of you in order to 219 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: get compensated for what they're doing Insteade hospital and operating room. 220 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like when you go to the barbershop. 221 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: A lot of these barbershops they rent out the chairs 222 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: of the barbershop and okay, all right, so it's the same. Yeah. 223 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: I remember my mom, you know, miss she Rest in Peace, 224 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: was sick and she was in the hospital a lot 225 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: with different things, and you get the the check. They 226 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: just keep coming in like the little these checks one 227 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: by one for different different tests that were done in 228 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: different craps that was done. Um, it's pretty pretty crazy. 229 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: And then the other thing is obviously the UM I 230 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: don't know is the exploitation, the taking advantage of the insurance, 231 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: not that anybody has, not that anyone has sympathy or 232 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: empathy for you know, big time major insurance companies. Right, 233 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: these are big, monstrous operations. But you know when you 234 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: charge the hospital charges five dollars for the Thailand all 235 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: pill because they can and they know the insurance will 236 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: pay it. A little sketching, Yeah, it's it's a it's 237 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: a trillion dollar industry. And I'll put it this way, Ben, 238 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: is that doctors are there to to fix you. They're 239 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: not there to help you get better. You know, if 240 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: that was the case in medical school, they would teach 241 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: all of these guys about nutrition, and they fucking don't 242 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: and we're suckers. Well well yeah, it's like the well 243 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: that's the whole conspiracy, you want to go deep state 244 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: Illuminati conspiracy that you know, if if they did have 245 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: a cure for cancer, would they release it like a 246 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: general cure because see the problem with cancers like a 247 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: million different kinds of cancers. But if they found a 248 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: magic placebo, would they release it because a lot of 249 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: money is generated from people that have to get chemotherapy 250 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: and have to have treatments and all that stuff. And um, 251 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: now I think they would, And I'll tell you why. 252 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: The Mather theory, my my working theory on this is 253 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: they would. If they found a magic cure for cancer, 254 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: they would. There'd just be another illness that would pop 255 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: up that would replace it. You know, they'd move the 256 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: goalposts a little bit and they'd be like, all right, 257 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: well there's no more cancer, hallelujah. But we'll we'll figure 258 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: something else out of here, and then we're we're good 259 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: to go. As long as we have a big illness 260 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: that will take down certain percentage of the population and 261 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: keep them in the hospital, we're good to go. Well, 262 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: we got a lot. We got diabetes, we got heart attacks, 263 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: we got Alzheimer's dementia. Obviously, Um, you know, people die. 264 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: Oh there's a there's a ton of ways to get 265 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: sick and die, and we're all gonna choose one of 266 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: them eventually. If we're lucky enough to live long enough 267 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: to have one of those take us out and not 268 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: die suddenly. So yeah, that's good times. That'd be curious though, Yeah, 269 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: I mean because a lot of this stuff too. Don't 270 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: forget these guys have heavy, heavy money involved in stocks 271 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: and and all these. Yeah, yeah, they have a financial 272 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: incentive to keep certain things going the way they are. 273 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: But then then the flip side of that is there's 274 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: also people that invest uh. And I won't reveal any 275 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: names here, I will not I will protect the guilty, 276 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: But who invest in medical companies like this whole Corona thing, 277 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: like this COVID nineteen. There are people gambling right now 278 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: on the stock market that they will bet on the 279 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: medical company that comes up with the the vaccine uh. 280 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: And then they get the deal, and you know, every 281 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: country buys a you know, gazillion of these vaccine things 282 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: and then they make all the money in their profits 283 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: go through the roof and the stock goes up, and 284 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: then whoever invested in that makes a ton of money. 285 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: So it does work the other way too, Yes, it does. 286 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: Cut you wouldn't be one of those people, would you guess? 287 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: I am one of those people. But they say, like, 288 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: don't don't work for the comp that you want to 289 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: be in bed with, invest in the company that you 290 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: want to be in bed with, and that's what I'm 291 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: trying to do. But you know, like we you know, 292 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: a lot of companies nowadays, especially here in the world 293 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: of COVID, they've pulled back on their four oh one 294 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: K contributions. So I have, in turn decided to not 295 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: put money into my four oh one K and invested 296 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: on my own accord. And so that's been doing homework 297 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: and bullshitting with you about certain stocks. Another it was 298 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: great back in the old days, were like matched the 299 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: four oh one kid was Oh my god, it was 300 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Whatever you have dollar you put in, they 301 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: give you an extra dollar. It was great. Uh, I 302 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: don't I don't remember, but I it only it didn't 303 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: last that. It was only the first couple of years 304 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: I got in a radio. But uh yeah, it's it's 305 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: gone the other way. No, but I listen. I I 306 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: have a guy I used blind Scott for a while 307 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: that didn't work out so well, and another guy that 308 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: didn't work out so well. But the guy got now 309 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: is pretty good. It's pretty good. He's pretty sharp. Kind 310 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: of an advisor who pays attention. I pay attention a 311 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: little bit, but you know you don't want to. You're 312 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: playing with real money here. It's kind of like exactly. 313 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: It's which which makes me all the more maddening that 314 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: you can't, actually, or you couldn't up until recently, gamble 315 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: on sports and so of these states. But betting on 316 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: a penny stock becoming a big time player on Wall Street, 317 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine. That's perfectly of course. What I what 318 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: I did with Blind Scott is he gave me the 319 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: one weed company that that sucked and couldn't sell weed, 320 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: and so that was like a good stock that became 321 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: a penny stock. Yeah, with the other way. But then 322 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: I get emails every once in a while from from 323 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Blind Scott, my guy in Boston, who tells me how 324 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: much money he just made by some investment. I shake 325 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: my head every time I see, well, you schmuck, you schmuck. 326 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: You did not give me that advice. I dare you 327 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: you did not give me the advice. But see the 328 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: the old, the old advice that that Warren Buffett gave 329 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: back in the day, as he says, don't don't invest 330 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: in in many stocks, like, only invest in a handful 331 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: of them, and that'll take you to where you want 332 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: to go. Like you know, it's a gambling You don't 333 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: want to bet on every single game in the NFL. 334 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: You want to bet on like two or three that 335 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: you feel the best about. It's called discipline, money management, 336 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: and discipline, which is the reason. The main reason people 337 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: think the reason that gamblers don't win on sports is 338 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: because of you. It's so hard, it's too hard, and 339 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff. It is difficult. But the number one 340 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: reason I've heard from people who work in that industry, 341 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: the gambling industry, the number one thing is there's no 342 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: self control. I'm in Vegas. I gotta bet on the game. 343 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: There's only one game left. I'm gonna bet on it. 344 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: Even if it's a ship bet and it's it's a 345 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 1: terrible bet, you still bet on it because you're there. 346 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: You want to have a little action. I'll never forget 347 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: the the grandma in front of me at the sports 348 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: book window, who bet? I think it was like ten 349 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: grand if I remember correctly, I know the number changes 350 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: every time because I was so but she bet thousands 351 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: of dollars on the Saints to win the Super Bowl 352 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: a year they did not win the Super Bowl because 353 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: she was from Louisiana and she was, you know, from 354 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: the you know, the land of the Bayou, and she 355 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: wanted to bet on her Saints and she did and 356 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, thousands of dollars just because you know, it's 357 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: not that's not good money management. It's not. And the 358 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: other thing also, which is I bring this up a lot, 359 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: and I apologize if you've already heard it a million times. 360 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: Bad job by me. But the sports books and the 361 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: people running the gambling websites, anytime somebody hits like a 362 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: seven team parlay, they love to tweet that out. They 363 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: love to promote that. Why would they promote that, because 364 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: that's they're losing money on that. No, they know for 365 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: that one guy that makes twenty thousand or fifty thousand 366 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: dollars on a seventeen parlay, that they will make their 367 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: money back in spades on other people, that it's a 368 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: sucker bet to bet to parlays. And so they know, hey, 369 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: let me put this out there. And I like the 370 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: story too. It's great to see somebody who you know, 371 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: bets seven random games and hits them all and went 372 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of money. But I know that for Joe Blow, 373 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: that ain't gonna happen, and so I got sidetracked and 374 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: I started with my political analysis on how to how 375 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: to vote, and we morphed into do you have any 376 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: tips gascons west of the four oh five tips anything 377 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: that involves tax increasy sc sc SC sc S. Is 378 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: that the guest gon strategy I, um, so the tax 379 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: strategy like you you actually mentioned it hit the nail 380 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: run on the head, is that you look for retired 381 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: people that have time to break this down and and 382 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: talk about it. Um. I have two friends, um, both 383 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: of their parents actually move out of California because of 384 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: said taxes and have moved to states like Idaho and Utah. 385 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: But they're all in in tune with what's going on 386 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: politically in in the state of California. And then also 387 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: the chief I had my dad and also go through 388 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: this stuff with me too, and so all three people, 389 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: Ben I kid, you not came to the same conclusion 390 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: on the prop beds here in California. No across the 391 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: board except yes on twenty and twenty two. I know 392 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: for those we have a lot of listeners in California, 393 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: So walk through twy need to be a yes, all right, 394 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: So I gotta I gotta pull this bad boy up 395 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: because I had a lot of them that were this 396 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: the Is this the one with the property taxes is 397 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: somehow related to that or no? Yeah? So two has 398 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: to do with the contracted employers and the employees. So 399 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: if you do recall like Uber and lift, and I 400 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: think that's the extent to like door Dash and some 401 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: of those companies. Okay, so this is the one where yeah, okay, 402 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: so they want to get rid of that we're making 403 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: more more expensive in California. What they want to do 404 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: is they want to end independent contractors, and in doing so, 405 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: that would force employeers to hire these people as wage earners, 406 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: and that wouldn't happen. So basically independent contractors would be 407 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: put out of work by this um due to the Okay, 408 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: so yes would be actually the good thing and not. Okay, 409 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: so you vote yes on that, alright, Alright, I haven't 410 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: voted yet. So I texted you a link to all 411 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: this stuff, a little cheat sheet if you don't oh 412 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: did you? Yeah, I must. What did you do that? 413 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: Like seconds ago? When people, oh you just did I 414 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I was sending you stories 415 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: about people we used to work with who've been accused 416 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: of crimes. I don't know. I wasn't looking at what 417 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: you were sending me. Why you look at at Prop 418 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: twenty and basically what it says, it's a it's a 419 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: measure that repairs some of the damages by our former 420 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: governor Jerry Brown, uh, the laws that he made California 421 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: a little bit less safe. Um. It increases penalties for 422 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: for theft and fraud crimes that Jerry Brown had reduced 423 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: to like misdemeanors, requires convicts to submit a DNA for 424 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: the state and federal data databases. UH. It also restores 425 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: the ability of a proe board to keep prisoners behind 426 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: bars that they deemed dangerous. So that that is what 427 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: we're doing, increase in the law and safety here in 428 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: the state and decreasing some of the more dangerous crimes 429 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: here in in the They have a few more propositions 430 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: at least we're here in California where we live.

I mean, if you remember the summertime, you 437 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: can remember what happened in New York. Like people in 438 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: New York that was your catch or release, throwing molotov 439 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: cocktails in the morning, getting arrested and throwing them again 440 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: at night.

Like can you 444 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: think about Like I know people don't want to think 445 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: about this, but could you imagine throwing a molotop cocktail 446 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: at someone in law enforcement in China? Like you wouldn't 447 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: be thrown by the bars, You'd be thrown into the 448 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: gulag or the ground. Actually be thrown in bang bang 449 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: You're dead. I think would be the way the way 450 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: that would go.

So are you gonna write this down or 491 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: we need somebody a listener to write this down. I'll 492 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: write it and I'll be curious to see where we go. 493 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: Now are you when you did this before? Did you 494 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: tie any of these bets to parlays or these just 495 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: straight up independent bets? Well, it's these are all obviously 496 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: prop bets, so we would just do individual profits. But 497 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: you can parlay them. Okay, if you want um. So 498 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: I'll just go through this in no particular order, no 499 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: particular order. Now, why don't I start with the Should 500 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: I start with the the bets you should make that, 501 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: I think? Or should I start with the bets you 502 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't make the safest or the worst? What do you want? 503 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: Let's be the safest, right, dash money out of the way, 504 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: all right. So this is kind of obviously if you 505 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: follow political politics even a little bit, just casually, and 506 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm on the sidelines, I worry. I'm a sports guy. 507 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's my my passion. But how can you not. 508 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: The NBA has become a political party recently. So it's 509 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: like the the third or the fourth political party, I 510 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: don't know. So it's sports are sports and politics are intertwined, 511 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: which is a mistake, but they've decided to go down 512 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: that road. So as a sports talk to your host, 513 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: you have to pay attention. All right. So if you 514 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: want to make money, and this goes for Democrats or Republicans, 515 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: there are a few states where Donald Trump is garroltre 516 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: garltree to win. The most obvious one is Alabama. All right, 517 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,959 Speaker 1: Now you can bet on this state by state props. 518 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: They are available, you've gotta shop around. Um, they're not 519 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: available everywhere. We'll tell you gotta look a little bit. Uh. 520 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: But Alabama Trump. Is there any way that Alabama would 521 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden? No way? Right? Yeah, the Republican 522 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: nominee has one Alabama by twenty points since the twenty 523 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 1: four election, and in Trump won by That's a pretty 524 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: big gap there in Alabama. Now, I'm gonna throw Texas 525 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: out here. Some people think Texas might be in play. 526 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't buy it. Some people 527 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: say it's a swing state and people are yapping about that. Now, 528 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: this is not as big a guarantee as Alabama, But 529 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe based on some of 530 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: the comments of Joe Biden and his people in the 531 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: weeks up to the election, involving anti gun positions and fracking, 532 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: which seemed to be I know it's cliche, but seemed 533 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: to be very important issues to the people of Texas. Uh. 534 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that's SIMI come on, right, 535 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: how about South Carolina? That's another one South Carolina minus 536 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: six going red. Yeah, I mean, you're not getting value 537 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: on that but you went a little, bet a lot, 538 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: went a little with very little chance of actually losing. 539 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: To put this in any kind of sports context, this 540 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of Kansas City and the New 541 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: York Jets. You're betting the Kansas City money line exactly. Yeah, Yeah, 542 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: that's good point. You have a twenty point favorite. You 543 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: have a twenty point favor is betting the morning. I 544 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: just have to win the game. You just have to 545 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: show up and win the game. Make sure you show 546 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: up on time. Don't don't be all staggered and drunk, 547 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: and play the game you're to win. So South Carolina 548 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: is that Oklahoma again? Oil industry? You know, the oil 549 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: industry is big in Oklahoma, and uh, Joe Biden's anti oil. 550 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: He's been very clear about that. I don't even been clear, 551 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: but he's he's talked out of both sides of his mouth. 552 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: So you have to decide, and um, you know, say 553 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: what you want a boy Trump, but he's been very 554 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: supportive of the the oil industry. So you gotta say 555 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: Oklahoma was on that list. Any other states those are mine. 556 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: So there's a couple other ones that jumped out to me. Um, 557 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: South Dakota is minus sixties. I don't know anything about 558 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: South Dakota politics. But Tennessee is uh is minus five thousand. 559 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. A lot of California is moving to Tennessee. 560 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: A lot of California liberals moving to Tennessee. Don't know. 561 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Utah's minus five thousand. Yeah. Utah's one where you would assume, yeah, 562 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: that would be that would be a stutter. Yeah, Trump 563 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: doesn't win Utah. Um. I think I told you the 564 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: other one off the air, Idaho. Idaho is minus ten thousand. 565 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Yeah, doing a lot of police 566 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: go to Idaho. It's like retired police or they go 567 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: to retire to Idaho, get off the grade, go to 568 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: hunt in the whole nine yards. So yeah, Oklahoma and 569 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: Idaho are probably your pick, your your biggest chock on 570 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: favorites to win. Have you ever been to Idaho, by 571 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: the way, I've never been there, I have. Yeah. Is 572 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: it good? Is it nice? I seem I assume it's 573 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: just like Washington State or something like the same geographical area, 574 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: like when you get outside in the boon docks and 575 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: you have fun. That's all I think we asked or 576 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: someone asked us this back during the summertime if you hunt. 577 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: But if you hunt like I think you'd have a 578 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: really good time out there. Well, I hunt, and I 579 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: caught a certain steak. It's in my freezer right there. Yeah, 580 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. It's a good catch. Cut it, cut it, 581 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: cut it, cut it, cut it all right. Now, if 582 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: you're a Republican, you want to win money, bet on 583 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: a Democrat to win the presidential election. We're focusing on again. 584 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: This is as you said, chiefs Jets, this is the 585 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: opposite for the Democrats, for Joe Biden. California A California A. Yeah, 586 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: there is no way that Donald Trump wins California. That 587 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: is guaranteed to go. In fact, if Trump won California, 588 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: that would be the single biggest political upset of all time. 589 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: People think his election win was the biggest upset of 590 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: all time. No, if Trump were to win California, that 591 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: would be know, it's Joe Biden's gonna win one of 592 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: the odds and I don't even have that in front 593 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: of me here, but that's for California to go Democrat, 594 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: it would be minus oh wowm actually minus fourth thou 595 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: Wison for a Democrat to win it, and Republican one thousand. 596 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: That's actually not as strong as I thought it would be. Now. 597 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: The other one that's obviously is New York, New York, 598 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: the big Apple. Right, even Trumps there from New York, 599 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: New York. He's moved to Florida. But yeah, there's very 600 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: not very little. There's no chance Trump's gonna lose New York. Right, 601 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: that's not New York. New York is minus T going blue. 602 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: All right. Uh. Then the other one for Biden, I 603 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: would assume, because of his history politically, would be Delaware. 604 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: How how the hell could Joe Biden lose Delaware? He 605 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: was the senator for like every my entire life up 606 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: until ten years ago. He was the senator in del 607 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, by the way, up until he became 608 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: the Vice president of the United States. He was the 609 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: senator from that time I was born until he became 610 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: the vice president, which is insane to me. I had 611 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: a I had looked something up because you mentioned California, 612 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: and I found this online and it said that outside 613 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty four, California was primarily a Republican state 614 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: until nineteen when Bill Clinton wanted How wild is that? 615 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: And then it just has completely gone the other ways. 616 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: God straight blue. Yeah, I got one more on the 617 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: Biden if you want to win money on this and 618 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 1: our friends listening in Minnesota, right, that's you think that 619 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: Biden's got to take Minnesota, don't you. I mean, that's 620 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: it seems that way. They there's there's He's not a 621 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: big favorite in Minnesota. He's only minus three sixty. But 622 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota I read I was doing some research, guests, because 623 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm a loser and I do political research for a 624 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: dumb podcast, but that Minnesota has voted blue other than 625 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: Richard Nixon in nineteen seventy two. He won there. But 626 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: other than that, Minnesota is voted blue since JFK in 627 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty. So it's Tricky Dick and nobody else that 628 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: they've supported on the Republican side in the state of Minnesota. 629 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: We don't forget the riots though during the summertime, and 630 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: then you get the city council members that have actually 631 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: asked for defunding of the police, and then they get 632 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: private security. Um, you might get some people a little 633 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 1: piste off and going the other way just out of spite. 634 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: Now the worst states that are completely a toss up 635 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: that if you this is real gambling Arizona. Who the 636 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: fuck knows what they're gonna do in Arizona, No idea. 637 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: Half the people think Biden's gonna win. Half the people 638 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: think Trump's gonna win. Arizona does have a history of 639 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: being a red state. Um, But I don't know, man. 640 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, like California has moved to Arizona, 641 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: which is wild. You move away from what you didn't like, 642 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: going to vote the same way. It's like the guy 643 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: I told you. I was in the line at Walmart 644 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 1: returning something. This guy was behind me from Texas and 645 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: he was complaining he was missing family in California. And 646 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: he's like, you know, lifetime Texan, like the whole he 647 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: might as well wearing a cowboy hat and boots. And 648 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: he's given me this whole rap about how you know 649 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: it sucks all these people from California moving to Texas 650 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: and they're voting the same way they did in California. 651 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: Now Texas is turnaly like California is complaining and all 652 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: this to give me this And I was like, all right, dude, 653 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know what's going on. 654 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: Calm down. I'm thought, I'm not living in Texas, Man, 655 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't mind voting that way. I didn't do that. 656 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: How about North Carolina? North Carolina looks like it has 657 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: the biggest split. North Carolina both ways as minus one 658 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: fifteen Blue or red. Yeah, yeah, that's South Carolina's red 659 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: and North Carolina's up in the air. Why would that 660 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: be though it's the Carolinas. Why would one of the 661 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: Carolinas be one way and the other one up in 662 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: the air. Don't know, that's a good question. Strange. What's 663 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: in the water. How about Wisconsin state? My my younger 664 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: brother lives in He's on team blue, and that's that's 665 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: in the air. That's a toss up state, right, That's 666 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,479 Speaker 1: a that's in play, that could go either way. Yeah, 667 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: Wisconsin Democrat minus three hundred, Republican plus two twenty. The 668 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: Wyoming's minus ten thousand for Trumps, right because there's only 669 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: seven people that live in the state, so they that's 670 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: great about Iowa. They got all those independent voters in Iowa, 671 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: Yeah they do. Yeah, they're really split all the way 672 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: around where our friends in Iowa do here. Now, you 673 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: know what I was shocked to see based on on 674 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: this with the Electoral College but the popular vote is 675 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: pretty tight too, Like it has Biden winning minus five 676 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: fifty but Trump plus three fifty. That's that's pretty damn it. 677 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: All right. So so again just to recap, though, we'll 678 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: move on to some other I have some other odds 679 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: here in front. I did a lot of research here. 680 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: Guest again, I'm a I'm a loser. I am a 681 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: freaking loser, all right. So my safest bet on Biden 682 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: guaranteed to win money, mallard guarantee. You should never take 683 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: advice from a podcaster overnight radio guy. California, New York, 684 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: Delaware for Biden, Maryland too, Okay, you're putting Marylo. That's 685 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: you're you're putting Maryland. I got California, New York, Delaware 686 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:40,240 Speaker 1: for Biden for Trump, Alabama, South Carolina, and Oklahoma Oklahoma, Idaho, Okay, 687 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: Idaho and soklahomare both minus. Keep track of this. We'll 688 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: see how we do, alright. We'll see how we do 689 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: on that. Uh, and you know, we'll move all right. 690 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: So I have some other props here, some other props 691 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: on this I don't think we need to do. They 692 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: have the state by state electoral college props. That's way too. 693 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean that will be here all day, will be 694 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: here all day. Nobody wants that. Um, I do have 695 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: here the popular vote odds? All right, which party will 696 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: win the popular vote in the presidentential election? Now the 697 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: odds I have here, Uh, this is from odds Shark 698 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: are minus five fifty that the Democrats we'll win. Now 699 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: you understand how the odds work. So for those that don't, 700 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: if the uneducated, I won't help you, that implies a 701 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: five fifty minus five fifty bet implies that there's an 702 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: eighty almost an eight five pc chance that the Democrats 703 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: are going to win the popular vote. It's like it's 704 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: like being favored by what like a touchdown or eight points. 705 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: That's that's more than that. That's that's like having Randy 706 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: Johnson in his prime on the mound against a team 707 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: that's gonna lose a hundred games. Is what that's like. 708 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: That's it's you're getting. That's a big number. That's a 709 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 1: big no bur um. But that's where it's at, you know. Now. 710 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:10,240 Speaker 1: In Trump's vote count was sixty two point nine million. 711 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was at sixty five point eight. So it 712 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: was close. It was very close, right, it was very close. 713 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 1: But will it be that close again? It's up in 714 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: the air. And will the winner Here's another one. Now, 715 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote the Democrats win the popular vote. You 716 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: want to take the Republicans as an upset? No, I 717 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: think you're not. You're not a sucker. I got you, 718 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: all right. Will the winner of the popular vote also 719 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: win the electoral college? Now, keep in mind that Trump 720 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: did not win the popular vote, but he won the 721 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: electoral college. And you don't have to win the popular 722 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: vote to win the election. People don't seem to understand that, 723 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: even though we've just seen it multiple times in the 724 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: last twenty years. Um. So the odds on this are 725 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 1: minus two forty that the winner of the popular vote 726 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: will also win the electoral college. Uh, and so that's 727 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: about a seventy percent chance. I this is actually a 728 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: bit that I'll go the other way, and I'll say that, 729 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, if we think Trump's gonna win again, that 730 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: that would be a no vote because it would be 731 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: the same thing as in Steen, where you get more 732 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: votes on the Democratic side, but the Republican gets the 733 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: electoral college. See, his ground game is stronger than Biden's. 734 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: He's been campaigning all over the country, which I think 735 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: gives him an advantage of being front and center, even 736 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: while being well front and center. But the also also 737 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: thing is that CNN has been the Donald Trump propaganda channel, 738 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: even though they don't realize that they're not that bright, 739 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: but they talk about him all the time. Every news channel, MSNBC, 740 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: the people that are political that watched these political shows, 741 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: they just ranted, any publicity is good publicity, which was 742 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: talking about They're talking about Trump, which is so odd 743 00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: because they basically said in sixteen that Hillary dominated him 744 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: in in contributions and in fundraising what she did, but 745 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: he didn't need to raise more than her because he 746 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: had the free advertising television and radio. Like you just mentioned. 747 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,840 Speaker 1: It was wild, and I think it's the same thing now. Alright, 748 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: more prop bets. This is a good one because we 749 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: work in sports radio and we have been inundated, we 750 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: have been overwhelmed. We've been indoctrinated with vote, Get out 751 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: and Vote. Pete Carroll on TV with a cute commercial, 752 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: Lebron James, get out and vote, Wokesters, the Wocalati in 753 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: the NBA with the vote on the uniforms and the 754 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: whole thing. Get out and vote percentage of voter turnout 755 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 1: for the presidential election over under sixty point five percent 756 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: of the American people will vote. Now over is minus 757 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:56,479 Speaker 1: one fifty, minus one fifty under is plus one ten. 758 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: What's the total again, sixty point five percent of the 759 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: American people? And what's the what are we as a country? 760 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: Three hundred and sixty? I think we are? And let 761 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: me let me get the I got. I got have 762 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: to go to the world meter on this. Let me 763 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: go to the world meeter on this. Three out of 764 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: thirty one million, three thirty one million people. So let's 765 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: do some more math. And I said there would be 766 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: no math. Guest gun, they said there would be no math. 767 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: So if I'm correct, uh, let's see sixty percent of 768 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: three D thirty one, So it would be if we're 769 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: doing sixty two hundred and one million or two hundred 770 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: one million, nine ten thousand. Are you sure I have 771 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: a D eighty four million? That's what I have? Well, 772 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: you're doing what am I doing it wrong? I'm gonna 773 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: hold on sixty one of three hundred Uh oh, you're right, 774 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: two hundred two hundred millions. Only that mhm, this is 775 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: tough one. I mean they been a lot of a 776 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: lot of propaganda to vote, I know. But the thing, 777 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: but I think people are lazy. I think people a 778 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 1: lot of people like, you know, screw these people. I 779 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: don't want to vote. Screw you. I'm not gonna vote. 780 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: Who cares. Let's see here the thing mail in voting. Yeah, 781 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: that's true. That's an equalizer. And there's else to do 782 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: right now because of COVID. Yeah, but it takes effort 783 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,439 Speaker 1: to fill out a ballot and mail it in, right, 784 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: It takes effort. People are lazy human nature. People are lazy, right, 785 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't care. I mean, we 786 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: think these political people like everyone's all upset. You know, 787 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: these athletes think everyone's all A lot of people don't 788 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: give a ship athletes the vote, Yeah, exactly, as we learned. 789 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: As then many of them were not even registered to 790 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 1: vote because who they cares? You know. And then I 791 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: think the less likely to vote would be the the 792 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: up and comers that are just able to like the 793 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty four year olds. I disagree. I think 794 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: when you first it was I grew up in a 795 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: family that kind of cared about politics, but it was 796 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: like a big deal. Your first presidential election when you 797 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: turn eighteen, that's like a big deal. You know. He 798 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: is like a write of passage. You finally get to 799 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: vote for president and as a big deal. And I 800 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,240 Speaker 1: remember when I first did. I was telling my family 801 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: about like how I voted, and I voted. I didn't 802 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: vote like political party. I went one way on certain 803 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: things and one way and another. I got fucking decimated. 804 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: So I'm like, what the fun. You gotta pick a side, man, 805 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: You gonna pick a side, all right. So over on, 806 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under. I'm gonna I'm not gonna 807 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: believe in the American people. I'm gonna say, I'll say 808 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: it's like fifty five percent, but it's not gonna be 809 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:36,439 Speaker 1: over six. So I'll take the under total votal voter 810 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: turnout easier for me to say. I'm gonna take the 811 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: plus one ten. As a value play. You want in 812 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: on this, Gascunt, I'm gonna I'm gonna take the over 813 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 1: optimistic Pollyanna Gascunt. Yeah, I just think, yeah, I think 814 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna have more engagement this year than than we 815 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: have before. And well, I agree, we'll have more, but 816 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 1: we can have more and not that sixty threshold. It's 817 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,720 Speaker 1: a large number. It's a big number. Man. That's a 818 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: massive country, three thirty million people. And this is assuming 819 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: that that ballots that do get sent in a little 820 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: bit later counted to Now do we count in the 821 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: the people that are going to vote three or four times? 822 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: Does that count as part of the sixty percent? I 823 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: don't know. How's that work? Well, if we count them, 824 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: we have to count the dead. If you count that, well, 825 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: that's Chicago politics politics, right, that's Chicago politics. All right. 826 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: Here's another one voter turnout for election over under a 827 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine point five million voters, a hundred 828 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,839 Speaker 1: and forty nine So this, if you vote over, then 829 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna on the first one. You gotta vote over 830 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: on this, don't you? I think so? Yeah, I think 831 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: it's safe to say I'll take the under. I don't 832 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: believe in people. I don't bet on people. I'll take 833 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,879 Speaker 1: the under at least when it comes to this, well, 834 00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: will Trump lose every state he lost in? Definitely? Not. Now, yes, 835 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: is minus to ten though, so you're gonna take no 836 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: at plus one seventy. So which state that Trump lost 837 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 1: do you think he's going to win this election cycle. 838 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: Um right, now, do do do do? Do? Do Do? Do? Do 839 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: Do do? I don't have the list in front of 840 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 1: me here, yeah, um states that Trump lost in. Um. Um, Well, 841 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: I can get it. I think I get it. I 842 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: got a link Carolina. Second, let me see if I 843 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 1: can get this up. I have a couple of political 844 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: sets that they go to. Let's see, all right, he uh, 845 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,760 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna win. I think he's gonna win Minnesota. Okay, 846 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 1: So here I have let's here the states Trump lost in, 847 00:47:52,719 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Minnesota, Nevada, Maine, Colorado, in Virginia. So I 848 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: Nevada would be Nevada, New Hampshire are very close. I 849 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: mean all those were pretty close within a few hundred 850 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: thousand votes. Or actually, in the case of Maine, how 851 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: about Maine, our friends in the great state of Maine, 852 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: it was like less than a little over two thousand votes, 853 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: f little over two thousand votes. New Hampshire was about 854 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: three thousand. Minnesota was forty thousand votes in favor of Hillary. Uh. Yeah, 855 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: I I now that I look at the list, guess 856 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 1: I I agree that one of those will flip that 857 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: whether it's Nevada or Maine one of those ago the 858 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 1: other way. So I'll say yes on that. That's a 859 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,759 Speaker 1: minus to sixty. I see here minus two sixty. Now 860 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: the odds changing a little bit. The gambling market. The 861 00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: gambling market, Uh, let's see, well Trump we to every 862 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: state he won in TwixT, that one's going to be 863 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: this is this is Yes is plus four d no 864 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 1: is minus seven hundred. So the gambling market tells you 865 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 1: that they think this is He's not gonna win everything. Okay, 866 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: because last week I saw that Biden was leading in Pennsylvania. 867 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: But after what what down last weekend and now into 868 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 1: this week, it shows that Trump leads by three points. 869 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 1: So I think if he loses a state of the 870 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 1: ones that he did win, I think he loses Pennsylvania, 871 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: but I don't think he's losing Florida. Yeah. Well, those 872 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: are the big ones in the rust belt, right, the 873 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: rust Belt, the Upper Midwest, the dairy belt. You know 874 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: that's uh, but Minnesota, Wisconsin, the dairy belt, those are 875 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: big and just having the pulse of the people from 876 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: the people that call in. We have so many great 877 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: listeners of Fox prustrated all over the country, but especially 878 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,720 Speaker 1: in the Midwest and the middle part of the country. 879 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: I just get the sense from these people maybe it's 880 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,240 Speaker 1: confirmation biased because of the show, but that they're still 881 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,399 Speaker 1: all in on Trump and all that. Uh. But yeah, 882 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 1: I think the smart bet would be no, because you know, 883 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,279 Speaker 1: I think it would be a little bit of a 884 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,399 Speaker 1: change here, Like he could take Nevada, but he'll give 885 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 1: up uh, you know, pick pick a state, you know, Pennsylvania, 886 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: He'll give up one of those other other states. I 887 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 1: don't have. I don't have any friends I think that 888 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: I directly talked to that are are either moderate or red. 889 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 1: Everyone's blue. Well, you live in California, man, what do 890 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: you want? That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter location, location, location. 891 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: Plus a lot of people with Trump don't want to 892 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,719 Speaker 1: admit it because they get shipped from people if they 893 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: say they support Trump, they get tagged with the isms. 894 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,919 Speaker 1: I guess you're into racism and all these. Um let's 895 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: see what are the Trump bets? When will Trump be 896 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: replaced as president? You want that one? Yeah, give me 897 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: that one is plus twelve hundred, one is minus one, 898 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 1: two is plus thirty three thirty three hundred plus four 899 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 1: would be plus five thousand, twenty five or later. Which 900 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: would seem to indicate that he will not only win 901 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: this election but then stay on after that. That is 902 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: plus two hundred. Yeah, I I just saw an allowed 903 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: on alarming prop bed. But I'll wait to get to 904 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,320 Speaker 1: that one. I think if he does get removed, it 905 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 1: will be obviously one. Yeah, okay, well Donald, here's a 906 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: negative one. Will Donald and Milania Trump be divorced? By one? Now? 907 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 1: The gossip pages though, use those tawdry gossip pages. Uh yeah, 908 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go now on that. I think there's a 909 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: lot of bull crap. Oh, here's one. This must have 910 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,760 Speaker 1: been written by somebody from the Blue Party. Will Donald 911 00:51:52,760 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 1: Trump be in Russia on February one? You can only 912 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: bet yes on that at plus plus. It does not stop, 913 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 1: It does not stop. What else do we have? I 914 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: got a few more of these here? Do you want? 915 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: Do you want early presidential election candidates from Yes, Yes, 916 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: let's do that. How about this one for the Democratic Party? 917 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: Your odds on favorite? Can you guess? Oh? I don't know, 918 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 1: cam Kamala Harris or Kamala Harris. She's tied for second 919 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 1: right now. The leader is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Favorite Democratic? 920 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 1: Can you guess who the Republican candidate is, as like, 921 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: I have no idea what the Republicans. I the odds 922 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: on favorite is Donald Trump? What? Yes? Oh, so they 923 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,919 Speaker 1: think he's gonna lose this election and then come back 924 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: and run again. Oh interesting, NICKI Haley is running second, 925 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 1: and then John Kasik and Mark Cuban and Mike Pants 926 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: are running a third. Mark Q was not a really 927 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: a Republican though, Come on, but Trump, that's a good play. 928 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,760 Speaker 1: Right close election, Trump loses, Biden fuckx up the country 929 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 1: more over the next four years and crime runs rapid 930 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: and all the taxes go up, and Trump's like, hey, 931 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: call me in, coach, I'm ready to play. Put me 932 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 1: back in. That's actually a good call. I could totally. 933 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: People would be like, oh, I gave Biden a chance. 934 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 1: He fucked, But didn't Biden say he's only gonna run 935 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: one time? I didn't that maybe lied. I don't know, 936 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,359 Speaker 1: I didn't. I read that quote that he said he's 937 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: only be a one term president, he's not going to 938 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 1: run for re election because of his age. I don't 939 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 1: remember that, but I remember reading that that He's like, 940 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,280 Speaker 1: because he's seventy seven, right two? Next time? He's around. 941 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: So that poses my next question, and this is the 942 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: one I want to hammer. This is like a This 943 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: is like a field goal bet in the super Bowl. 944 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,840 Speaker 1: But have you found a prop bet for Joe Biden 945 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: that if he wins the election, will he or will 946 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:15,839 Speaker 1: he not serve out his complete first term? I have not. Um, 947 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: that's a very ghoulish maccab one. Now you would say 948 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 1: he wouldn't serve his full term, not for scandal, but 949 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: for health reasons. Uh well, I mean they had that 950 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: before Trump got elected. They said would he finish out 951 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: his first term or would he be impeached? I don't 952 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: think if Joe Biden wins, he finishes his full first term. Um. Yeah, 953 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,240 Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about it. Um, but he's certainly 954 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 1: You look tape of Biden when he still had his fastball, 955 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 1: you know, you're I mean, he was so sharp and 956 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 1: you know, political hacks though, but he he was on 957 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,720 Speaker 1: his game. He was good. He was good at politics. 958 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 1: He sucks now he's terrible. He's like we get at Bernie's. 959 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: But hey, he's got a chance to be the president. Um. 960 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 1: What other problem I got? Us? Senate control started the Congress. 961 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 1: I think I think the Republicans are keeping the Senate. 962 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: Democrats are actually favored the gambling market. Democrats are minus 963 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 1: one eight. Oh wow, minus one eight favorite for the 964 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,440 Speaker 1: Democrats to control the Senate. So if you get Biden 965 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:24,720 Speaker 1: and Democrats controlling the Senate control three all three? Uh yeah? 966 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: All the House of Representatives? How's that going? How's that 967 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 1: going to go? I think that goes blue? Okay, so 968 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 1: what you said no, you said you hope it goes red, 969 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: but now you said blue? No, no for the Senate. 970 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 1: For the Senate, yes, so you think the Senate goes 971 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 1: But which is what they're saying that Democrats minus one 972 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: d al right, but what are Republicans on that? Republicans 973 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,959 Speaker 1: on the Senate are plus one thirty five? Wow plus. 974 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: You don't like that? Not something I put money on. 975 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: It's chance the Republicans will when the Senate have to 976 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: control the balance of power if you will in their favor. Um. Oh, 977 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 1: here's one. Will Donald Trump be kicked off Twitter? Before? Now? 978 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 1: This is I've heard this that if Trump is no 979 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,879 Speaker 1: longer president, he will be kicked off Twitter. This will 980 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:21,320 Speaker 1: be like the magnum opus of the the dopes that 981 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 1: run Twitter, that they'll find you know, oh he's not president, 982 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick him off, you know. But if he wins, 983 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't I only think he can really kicked the 984 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: president off Twitter. So this really depends if you think 985 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 1: Trump's gonna lose or not. Yes is plus eight hundred, 986 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: No is minus hundred. The counter argument, as as much 987 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: as the was it that Dorsey guy? Is that the 988 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: guy's name Jack Dorsey? Yeah, and uh, he's kind of 989 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,840 Speaker 1: changed his appearance. He looks like Jesus all of a sudden. 990 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 1: Have you seen the photo of him this week? Anyway? Uh? Yeah, 991 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's one of these double edged swords 992 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: things like politically, the people that are on Twitter obviously 993 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: cannot stand Republicans and hate Republicans and they try to 994 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: block Republicans and all that their enemies of Republicans. But 995 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 1: Trump's good for Twitter. I mean this, I mean the 996 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,919 Speaker 1: fact that every news organization is quoting what Trump said 997 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: on Twitter. That's a that's wonderful. It's free advertising, endless 998 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,919 Speaker 1: free advertising. Why would you give that up? And even 999 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 1: when he's no longer president, you're still you look at this, 1000 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: You're like, hey, uh, you know, he's still the former president. Yeah, 1001 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 1: it's it's the engagements, right, because no matter what he tweets, 1002 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 1: there's always people responding to something. Yeah, I just realized, 1003 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 1: I guess a little voice in my head just pointed 1004 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: out that we've gotten so carried away with this that 1005 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: we've gone way further than we were supposed to go 1006 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: on this pod. Yes, we were, We're just a couple 1007 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: of hacks. Uh, we've we've completely blown the clock so 1008 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 1: much for being on time, Mather by the clock for 1009 00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 1: the clock, posibly all about the clock. So how about 1010 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: because I have I have a little something that I 1011 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 1: have acquired for our our live streaming, Benny Versus the 1012 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 1: Penny purposes, which is available by the way, Friday night 1013 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 1: nine thirty in the West and after the Witching Hour 1014 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 1: twelve thirty in the East. We'll have Benny Versus the Penny. 1015 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: If if we can get someone to do a parlay 1016 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 1: with like let's say five five picks and then tweet 1017 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: you a picture of it, Um, we'll put that on 1018 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: the show and we'll find a way to put that 1019 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: person on Benny Versus the Penny for a segment. Yeah, 1020 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: and if you want to play along. I know this 1021 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 1: is a podcast. And one of the things I love 1022 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 1: about the podcast is you can listen whenever. One of 1023 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 1: the things I hate about it we don't get real 1024 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: time feedback. So if you want to play this little game, 1025 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 1: you heard our bets on the election, If you want 1026 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: to write down your bets, but you gotta email them 1027 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: to me before the elect don't. Don't be one of 1028 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 1: these uh retrospect guys at these hindsight guys after the election. 1029 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 1: But bet on that I knew, I bet I got 1030 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 1: everything right. No, don't do that, But I like, I 1031 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,080 Speaker 1: like your idea. If you could bet of like a 1032 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: five leg parlay on the Biden states and the Trump 1033 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: states that are guaranteed, how do you lose that? I mean, 1034 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 1: I guess there's always a chance, but man, yes, all right. 1035 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 1: So to recap you have for Republicans, you go Alabama, Texas, 1036 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Oklahoma. I also added Idaho because of the 1037 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: same odds as Oklahoma. For Democrats and Biden, you go California, 1038 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 1: New York, Delaware, and then I added Maryland because it's 1039 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 1: pretty high for him as well. Popular vote, you went Democrat. Um, 1040 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 1: you went under the total vote which is under sixty 1041 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 1: point five and also under the total hundred and forty 1042 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,480 Speaker 1: nine over under hundred nine and a half million Americans. Right, 1043 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: you went under on that, yes, so okay, and you 1044 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:02,440 Speaker 1: went over yes, very optimistic, ask yeah, what happened? All right, 1045 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell your dad, man, this is not I 1046 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 1: guess I'm gonna tell on you man. I'm gonna I'm 1047 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna snitch. I'm gonna do it. All right, Well, that 1048 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: will have no time for the other podcast. But that's fine, 1049 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's fine. I'm okay with that, right, I'm 1050 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. You know, the next time we're 1051 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 1: excited about the election, right, we're gonna get get out 1052 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 1: and vote. That is that we have to do something 1053 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 1: like pearl clutching and like take a set. All right, 1054 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 1: what one more profit, one more properful? We get out here? 1055 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: Over under? How many writing votes yours truly gets I've 1056 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 1: already gotten too. I've already had two people that have 1057 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 1: sent me their vote that they have written my name 1058 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 1: in ed from Spokane and the blind Scott Hotties have 1059 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: voted for me as their president, their commander in chief. 1060 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 1: So we've got to not that we should encourage this, 1061 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 1: and we're certainly not. But we know they're are plenty 1062 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 1: of malle militia people that are that have fully taken 1063 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 1: the cool aid. We love you, you know, they're drinking 1064 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: the purple kool aid. So I'm gonna say I get 1065 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 1: I think I've got three more votes, say six total, 1066 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: I can get to five. I think there's three more 1067 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 1: people I can get that are p ones that don't 1068 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: give a shit about politics and just as a lark, 1069 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 1: like because people are pressuring the vote, and so like, okay, 1070 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 1: i'll vote. I'll vote for mallor do you want me 1071 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 1: to vote? You didn't tell me you to vote for 1072 01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 1: I'll vote for mallor So that means you'd probably get 1073 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 1: these people from either California, New York, Massachusetts or I 1074 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 1: think those are I think those are the well know, 1075 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 1: how can do big in Texas, We do big in Minnesota, Maine, 1076 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,160 Speaker 1: we do very well in Maine. But those states are questionable. 1077 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,640 Speaker 1: Those are like tops. Okay, so you're not yeah, only 1078 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 1: if you're in a state which is already the centered 1079 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,440 Speaker 1: in your votes, completely irrelevant, can you vote for mallor 1080 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: that's it. We gotta get out of here, all right? 1081 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 1: They all right? Uh, appreciate it. Good luck.
