Speaker 1: come see us. Paul and I are actually heading back

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas on Sunday. We were there last week. Um,

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: PAULI what do you what do you want to tell

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: everyone about our trip to Vegas last week? How was it?

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: It was a bundle of fun, it really was. Um.

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: A lot of people stare at you with your hat

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: and your outfit. You got a lot of compliments. Um.

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: We had a very good first day. We walk over

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: to the Golden Nugget. We hit a fifty one shot

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: and the horses were off and rolling and then just

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: sort of petered out after that. The fund didn't never

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: petered out. I don't know, but not at all. I

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: mean I don't know. Like as soon as I step

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 1: in in the state of Nevada, I just like to dance.

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: This son of a bit did not stop dancing anywhere

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: we went. We would walk by a bar, he would

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: hear music and literally just dance his way in right

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: up to the front, just wouldn't stop. There was a

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: waitress in the Golden Nuggets I think was terrified of you.

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: She was a tiny bit terrified, but when she saw

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: me move my hips, I saw her looking from the

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: corner of her eyes. Then then Paul and I proceed

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: to drive across Death Valley to l A from Vegas,

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: and again Paul did not stop singing the entire time.

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: See here's the thing. Who's the guy that's late, late,

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: late night, James Cordon? What's his name? Karaoke? I've been

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: doing chemical karaoke when he was in diapers. Okay, I

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: did carpoo karaoke like literally when Instagram started, and then

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: I sort of shut it down because I got pulled

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: over by a police officer and the police officer said,

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: what are you doing. I'm like, I'm doing carpool karaoke

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of fans I need to

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: satisfy over here. Okay, why did you just choose the

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: arbitrary start date of Instagram? I just started singing karaoke.

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: People love it. If you ever go on on my Instagram,

60
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: go ahead, Paul. Sorry, my Mike went out there, Paul.

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Mike cut out, Paul, are you I could see you

62
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: being like a like an eighties music Steve Perry and

63
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: Journey got nothing on me, Oh, Paul. The highlights where

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Paul singing his walk up song for his entire career,

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: which is a BIG's song, staying Alive um. And then

66
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: we were I don't know if you've ever done that drive,

67
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Jeff from Vegas to l A. But at one point

68
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: you kind of turn a corner and you're just like

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: flying down the side of a mountain and it's a

70
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: real steep grade. And that's when Paul chose to sing

71
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: It's all coming back to me now by Lean Beyond.

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I really must have liked it,

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: because I just found myself dropping the pedal to the

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: floor and we were flying down that mountain like eighty

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: miles an hour. Just just blazon. If that that can

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: be it, That can be a a fun drive. Well not,

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: it's not really fun. It could be a fast drive,

78
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: or can be one accident and be the worst drive

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: of your life. It is true, it wasn't too bad.

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: We we did pretty well until we got to l A.

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: But Paul and I will be out in Vegas starting

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: on St. Patrick's Day and we'll be out there for

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: eight days. So uh, if any of you guys are

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: out there, hit us up, we'd we'd love to meet

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: up with you. And if you wanted any request, it's

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: lean Dion is not my only Whitney's out there too,

87
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: so like if you want any request of me singing

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: with Black because I see I am very sports you.

89
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: The best part about it is all the videos that

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: I made. I'm embarrassing the hell out of no, Paul.

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Someone had to drive the goddamn car, like someone had

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: to make sure we didn't die. You were going to

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: There's only one way, you know. You gotta learn how

94
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: to drive when the guy's been entertaining you. And I've

95
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: driven with you before and that's why I drove this time.

96
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: When I'm taking the role as the designated driver, there's

97
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: a problem. But I've driven with you, and you're one

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: road rage incident after another. I'm not a road rage.

99
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: I drive like a New Yorker, which is normal. Paul.

100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: I was on the phone with you. Jeff. I was

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: on the phone with him when he was in Saratoga

102
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: and he got into an argument with another driver and

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: literally put the phone down and got out of the

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: car to get into a confrontation. Sometimes you need to

105
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: make a point. He's a wild driver. When we were

106
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: at the Breeders Cup in Kentucky, He's just screaming at people.

107
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm from New York. Get out of the way. Did

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: they get out of the way? Not really, Paul. Then

109
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: I ran over him. I'm sorry. Did we have a

110
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: good parket spot? We did? Was accomplished. Did we get arrested? No, no,

111
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: we didn't. It was a good day. All right. Let's

112
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: get into a little bit about what's been going on

113
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, uh Jeff. Obviously Odell Beckham is the

114
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: big news over the last forty eight hours, traded by

115
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: the Giants over to the Cleveland Browns. What what are

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: your initial thoughts on that? Well, for the Browns is awesome.

117
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: I think they gave up obviously at first a third

118
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: and starting safety and Jabril Peppers. You added him in

119
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: with Landry who they're best friends. You just more weapons

120
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield are great. The Giants, I have no

121
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: idea what they're doing. They seem to be rebuilding around

122
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: a third eight year quarterback, which makes no sense whatsoever.

123
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: What the Giants should have done. This gonna haunt them

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: for fifteen years because Sam Donald shares their stadium with them.

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: They should have drafted Sam Donald last year at two,

126
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: drafted a pass rusher this year at six, and kept

127
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, or don't keep Odell Beckham, don't sign them

128
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: last year, just full rebuild instead of drafting Sae Kawon Barkley,

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: having Eli Manning and then taking I don't know, a

130
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: quarterback and six. I don't think they're even beholding taking quarterbacks.

131
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna take best player available. It's it's

132
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. You know, they're an organization that

133
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: forever was just run so well, and they have forgotten

134
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: how to run an organization. Yeah them, No, they did not.

135
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand the thinking of whether it's

136
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: this year or next you're going to have to bring

137
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: in a young quarterback and taking away one of the

138
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: best weapons in football that you could possibly give a

139
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: young quarterback. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.

140
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: I understand the idea by the way of getting rid

141
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver if you're rebuilding, I understand that.

142
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: That to me makes total sense because a lot of

143
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: teams should do that wide receivers and is a bonus

144
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: right you need to have you need the other pieces

145
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: in place. The problem is that other pieces aren't in place.

146
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: So so you know, I get why they got rid

147
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: of him. But again, he's a playmaker and if you're

148
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna bring a young quarterback, you must we'll have him

149
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: there for for him. Yeah, I agree. So there's a

150
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of Odell Beckham props Jeff about whether he will

151
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: lead the league in receiving yards, touchdowns, receptions, which one

152
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: of these props kind of piques your interest a little bit.

153
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: So I think over eleven hundred yards, I think this

154
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: this morning on I'll take that bet. If you look

155
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: at his first three years, he had over thirteen hundred

156
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: yards first three years. Now remember they didn't you know,

157
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have anyone else to throw to. I was

158
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: there for two of those years. Um, the last two

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: years he has not been that mark because he's been injured.

160
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: So two years ago he missed most of the whole year.

161
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Last year played twelve games but had almost eleven hundred yards.

162
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: I think he just gets eleven hundred yards he's a playmaker.

163
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Think about this. He takes short passes to the house

164
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: seven yard, ten yards, slant route goes, goes, goes sixty yards.

165
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be catching long bombs to make

166
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: this happen. So I think that's a big part of

167
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: this is that the ability for him to take short

168
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: passes in this offense and go deep. I like over

169
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. Yeah, I like the over eight and

170
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns to his total this past season was

171
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: seven and a half. And I think that Baker Mayfield

172
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: is gonna love having him in the red zone. I mean,

173
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: he's that big bodied guy that you just throw it

174
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: up to. I mean, he's He's gonna make life just

175
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: so much easier for Baker Mayfield when when they get

176
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: close to the end zone he is and and you know,

177
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: the one question is is do you think that the

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: yards will have to be split up between Landry and

179
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: the Joku and Chubb and all the guys they have

180
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: and maybe he doesn't get a little I think that

181
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: could be concerned. But again, I think if you're choosing

182
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: one prop pro debt over the eleven yard, because he

183
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be he should not be injured three years in

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: a row, right, PAULI what what what prop do you

185
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: like about this? I liked the over eleven yards as well.

186
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: When he was in New York, he was really their

187
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: only option. So now with multiple options, and I think

188
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Jeff makes it a very key point. Listen, he went

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: to college with Landry. I mean they were best friends,

190
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: and it seemed like he was like a little bit

191
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: tiny bit lost maybe in New York, like sometimes he

192
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,479
Speaker 1: did want to be there. He's got that little bipolar

193
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: personality every once in a while, so you don't really

194
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: know where he sits. And you know, now he's got

195
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: his best friend he can go play with in Javar,

196
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: who's a very quality receiver as well. I mean, excuse me, uh,

197
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: what's his first name? Joe Farr? That's what I said.

198
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: Are you guys deaf? His name is not Javar? What's

199
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: his name? Oh? Jarvis? Like, what do you like? I

200
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: was like Jaffar from the latter You know my phone?

201
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I haven't a jar on my phone? That's why you haven't. Yeah,

202
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Where do you? Where do you

203
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: you tucked out jar of like you've notes? No, I'm

204
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: just telling you that Odell Beckham is gonna go over

205
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: a level. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. He's the thing.

206
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: My point is we're talking about if we're going to

207
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: talk about that him, right and obviously we're gonna talk

208
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: about Bell in Antonio Brown. Are they three of the

209
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: biggest clowns in all of football? I'm gonna ask you

210
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: that question, Jeff, Why are those three guys well? Jeff Levian?

211
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Levian Bell went to Twitter, hold on, hold on, Paul.

212
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: But off of that question, Jeff, you just said that

213
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: you played with Odell Beckham for two years. What kind

214
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: of a teammate is he? Because we hear all this

215
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: stuff that you know he's a problem, and honestly, it

216
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: sounds like a lot of nonsense that people are complaining

217
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: about in the media. How was he in the locker room?

218
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: This is a great teammate. Um. This is why I'm

219
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: not concerned about most of what's happening with with their

220
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: talking about him being a distraction. That's why he went

221
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. He's gonna be distraction Cleveland. I don't think

222
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: that at all. I think the Giants vet him as

223
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: a distraction for whatever reason. Pat Sherman did not get

224
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: along with Odell. I don't know what that was. Um,

225
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: he's great in the locker room, is a good leader guys,

226
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: lovely works his tail off. You know they talk about

227
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the passion, Yeah, I mean look, yeah, theresicularle overboard. What

228
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: would I prefer that a player of mine if I

229
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: was an ownershipper and coaching to not proposed or kicking net,

230
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: yeah I would. But wide receivers are in a position

231
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: where it's very mean centric, right, you have to win

232
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: one on one battles all the time, and yes, there's

233
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna be more mean centric than other players on the

234
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: football fields. I'm fine with his at because he comes

235
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: to play on Sundays. I get it that he comes

236
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: to play. But listen to me as a coach and

237
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: you've been on the field, I don't care how big

238
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: of a dick you are. When you're the best player

239
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: they had, coaches, you have to get along with him.

240
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: You have to. The reason where you gave it a chance,

241
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: gave him even a chance to get along. You have to,

242
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: even if you hate the guy. The manager has to

243
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: get along with your best player. And that was the

244
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: problem in New York the whole time with Beckham and

245
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: he did stupid stuff on the sideline, like kicking nets.

246
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: He did just stupid stuff that projected him as being

247
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: a problem. And the worry is is you're right, Shermer. Listen, Okay,

248
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: you don't like the guy. You don't like the guy,

249
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: but for you to win, he needs to succeed. And

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: you can already tell the Odell Beckham is a guy

251
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: that listens to in the media. He is a guy

252
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: that is very sensitive. So if you don't like him,

253
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: screw you. That's the way. Did you ever not get

254
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: along with the manager? Yes, of course, Jack mc can is.

255
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: I love Jack as a person. Worst manager I ever

256
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: played for. I don't still don't know how he won

257
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: a championship. He didn't even know your name. He know

258
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: he called me to Luca. I didn't even know my name.

259
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: What about Davy Johnson? Davy Johnson was the best manager

260
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: I played for, But he hated me. Why do you

261
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: hate you? I don't know. I remember who could hit you? No?

262
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: I remember in Philadelphia, I was played a game like.

263
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: He played me like onervery I made the team that

264
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: spring training. He played me like once every twenty days.

265
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: I saw him in Philadelphia, and I had a bad game,

266
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: and then I played two games in a row because

267
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: Hunley was hurt. And then I went like, oh for

268
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: eight and struggled, and he just came to the to

269
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the hotel bar and I was sitting there with Hunley

270
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: and he just came up to me and bought me

271
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: a shot and goes, you suck. You need to be

272
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: drunk better. Little did he know that was gonna be

273
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: a trend. Alright, So, um Paul mentioned Levyan Bell and

274
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, and we'll get to individual props on them

275
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: in a minute. But Jeff, is something I want to

276
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: ask you about because I'm looking at it and I

277
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: just can't believe it. The a f C North Division futures,

278
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns are favorite at plus one, the Steelers

279
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: are plus two fifty, the Ravens at plus two seventy five,

280
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: and the Bengals at plus eight hundred. Where are you

281
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: putting your money on the a f C North teams

282
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: to start this season? This is absolutely wild. The answer

283
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: is the Pittsburgh Steelers at plus two fifty. I kind

284
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: of agree with you, this is crazy. Think about this.

285
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: In the NFL, we we use all the time, right,

286
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: the winner of March we assume will be the winner

287
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: come January. It almost never happens that way. Are the

288
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Browns talented, Yes, they would are talented. I'll give him that.

289
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: John Dorseyson a great job. However, the have a second

290
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: year quarterback. They have to pull his personalities together. They

291
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: have a new a new UH defensive corner. And most important,

292
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens is the new head coach. He's never been

293
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: a head coach. He's only been accordinator for like eight

294
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: games on a team that was they had no pressure whatsoever.

295
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: The pressure is all on Freddie Kitches. Now remember this too,

296
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: this is important. I think no one was trying to

297
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: hire him. Okay, I don't think the Browns even wanted

298
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: him to be the head coach. He just was kind

299
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: of there after everything all of dust settled, like no

300
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: one even interviewed him. And I I don't think so

301
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: to be the head coach of any other job. But

302
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: the Browns hired to be their head coach. And let's

303
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes the Steelers, by the way, where

304
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: we're ninth and overall d v O A last year.

305
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: That's without leaving on Bell and Antonio Brown was obviously there.

306
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: Juju is still there. James Washington play wide receiver. They

307
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: lose their tight end, that's a that's a concern. Offensive

308
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: line is still good, but their defense improved throughout the year.

309
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: So I think it's wild to you you will not

310
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: find better value on on Pittsburgh than you have now. Also,

311
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers have have maybe the best offensive line in football. Now, Paul,

312
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: I heard you grunting a minute ago. What what are

313
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the A F C. North Well, I mean,

314
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: you look at Baltimore, Okay, what's the Lamar Lamar Jackson's

315
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: experiment is is that gonna roll over the year two?

316
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: Or team is going to figure that out quickly. But

317
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore still is going to have a solid, solid defense.

318
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: So I'm with both of you, guys. I think Pittsburgh

319
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: is the play in here. Um. I truly think since

320
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: the Antonio Brown Facebook thing a while ago, he's just

321
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: been a guy in that locker room that yes, he's

322
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: been the best player, but good riddance. It was good

323
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: riddance with bell Um midway through the season, and now

324
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: they can just sit there and play football instead of

325
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: worrying about all this other stuff. And I get it.

326
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland did get better. But again, losing has been a

327
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: disease in Cleveland and until they win, my money is

328
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: not going there. And you know, something else to talk

329
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: about with the Steelers is they've been a team that's

330
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: been an underperforming team when they've been favored most years.

331
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see Pittsburgh this year kind of doubted.

332
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be questioned and I think that's

333
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: going to motivate them a little bit. Totally agree. Alright,

334
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: so let's talk a little bit about Levian Bell. Obviously,

335
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: he signs with the Jets, uh sixty one million dollar

336
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: deal with the Jets. There are props on his rushing yards,

337
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and touchdowns out there. I personally like the

338
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: prop that he's gonna go over six hundred and a

339
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: half receiving yards because I think he's the safety valve

340
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald that he's been missing. Um, he's a

341
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 1: really good pass catcher out of the backfield. He can

342
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: line up at wide receiver. I don't know about yards

343
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: on the ground, but I think he does go over

344
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: six hundred receiving Jeff, what do you think about Levian Bell?

345
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: So I like this play because I think you'll have

346
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: more of an impact in the receiving game than than

347
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: than the rushing game. For for a couple of ways. One, Um,

348
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I do think to your point that he would be

349
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: used as a blanket for you know, they'll screen pass something,

350
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: They'll use a lot of interesting ways to get him

351
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: into the offense. But secondly, a more important he has

352
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: a very unique style of Russian the football. Right. He

353
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: kind of hides behind the big offensive line that that

354
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh had, the big old guys, and they run a

355
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: lot of players. They go vertically right, they go up

356
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: the field right away, Um, and he's able to hide

357
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: behind those big guys, find a scene and then go

358
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: adam gaze the the the Jets head coach, well, they

359
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: run some of those same plays. He's more of a

360
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: zone a zone run scheme. He's more diverse run scheme

361
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: and labland Bell. I don't know if he's good in

362
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: that because that's more of a one cut and go.

363
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: You know, you can't dance behind a line of scrimmage

364
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: and and and go because the backs has not blocked

365
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: very well and there's a tiny element to it. So

366
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: I do wonder if, um, that that's gonna be something

367
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: that takes a little bit of time to work out.

368
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how that plays out throughout

369
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: the season. Polly, what do you what do you got

370
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: on the Olavian Bell props? I'm with you on the

371
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Um. I'm glad that he took the Twitter

372
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: to like, really go, oh my god, so many decisions

373
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: I gotta make. It was one team he was. That

374
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: was all media hype to get him more attention. That

375
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: was that was a joe. No one was trying to

376
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: sign him. That was a joke. That was for you

377
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: to go to Twitter and put that out there. Clown

378
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: clown status already. So but I will give him this.

379
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: He chose not to shy away from the biggest city

380
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: in the world, so he's going to New York. I'll

381
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: give him that. There's gonna be a lot more people

382
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: in his locker room, and the expectations are going to

383
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: be giant. Listen, New York fans want to win now,

384
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: especially with Beckham gone. Um at the other side of

385
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: the locker room, a lot of Jet fans are hyped.

386
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win this division now, and that's

387
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: the way they Jet and met fans work. When they

388
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: get something like that, they're like, oh, World Series or championship.

389
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: There there's knee jerk reaction. Um does he make them better?

390
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: Of course, But I still think he's gonna catch a

391
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: lot of balls out of the backfield. And I'm with you.

392
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be Darnau's safety valve all year.

393
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, So that those are a levy on bell props, Paul,

394
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: you brought up Antonio Brown before obviously he's traded to

395
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Jeff. First, before we get to the props,

396
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: let me ask you, what do you think about what

397
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh got back for him? I mean a third and

398
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: a fifth. It feels like very little for a guy

399
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: who's been the best wide receiver in football for the

400
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: last you know, four or five years. A couple of

401
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: things here is the general public way over values wide

402
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: receivers compared to the National Football League values in that. Okay,

403
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting here. I wonder if Antonio

404
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: Brown was kind of playing up the craziness because as

405
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: soon as he got as soon as he was traded,

406
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: he got rid of the blood mustache, he cleaned up, right,

407
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: he got he looked like he well he definitely his

408
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: facial hair. I think he got a haircut to like.

409
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: He looks clean, looks well put together. He might just

410
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: been like playing everybody, but I think that his trade

411
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: value was so um low because of the added contract

412
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: and centive. So not only were you getting Antonio Brown,

413
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: you have to pay him more money and a lot

414
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: of teams were not willing to give that extra deal.

415
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: Yeah what what what'll trade for you? Sure we're not

416
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: giving you extra money. So I think that was a

417
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: big part of this too, is that, uh, the value

418
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: of trading for a player like him in his thirties,

419
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: plus the contract demands made it so that teams were

420
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: just not looking forward to to pay in the play

421
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: And that's why you got him for three and five. Now.

422
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Oakland has been easy to kind of

423
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: mock over the last you know year, But I mean

424
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: essentially they turned to Marie Cooper into a first round

425
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: pick and Antonio Brown. I mean I got a hard

426
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: time criticizing that. I'm not sure that's a fair comparison

427
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: because when they traded Mary Cooper, which was a good

428
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: deal for them at the time, there was no thought

429
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown. Right. The question The thing I have

430
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: about this, though, is that you said you had a

431
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: plan of rebuilding. Well, this is not a plan of rebuilding.

432
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: What you should have done is you should have paid

433
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: a Mark Cooper and pay Cleo Mack and you'd have

434
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: a difference maker at defensive end, a premium position National

435
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: Football League, and a young wide receiver who we saw

436
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: in Dallas was much better as a player than he

437
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: was in Oakland. So I don't I don't know if

438
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: if it's I like what they did, but it's not

439
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: really an apples to apples upgrade because they came about

440
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: it two different ways. Like you can't say that that

441
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: they got you know, they basically traded Mark Cooper to

442
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: get Antonio Brown. Those are two separate transactions and and

443
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: they kind of and they kind of contradict each other

444
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: because one of them is more of like, Okay, we're

445
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: going with youth and where rebuildly don't want to pay

446
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: our guy to like, well, never mind, we're gonna go

447
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: ahead and get Antonio Brown. Now, Okay, Antonio Brown ever

448
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: hugged Ben Roethlisberger like he hugged Derek Carr. I don't

449
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: wn watch the press conference. What do you mean he

450
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: went to Derek Carr's house personally and give him a

451
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: giant hug Twitter. Derek Carr blocked you on what are

452
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: you too talking about? What do you mean? Derek Carr's

453
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: house last yesterday and gave him a hug. Do you

454
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: are you on social media? All right? I'm looking at

455
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: the picture right now. Yes, that that that's a pretty

456
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: big brace. It's a It's a huge embrace. It's like

457
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: when you and I see each other in the airport

458
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: in Vegas, ball exactly. I love you that much, but

459
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: their pants are on right, Fuck you, Jeff. The best

460
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: part about I mean these podcasts, by the way, is

461
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: Matt laughing at the background. It's by far chuckling about

462
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: the best thing. I texted Matt like once a week.

463
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: I like, dude, you're laughed. This week is outstanding. Um,

464
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: how much for a naked dance on Fremont during March Madness?

465
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Polly Nolly would do it, though, brother the first the

466
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: minute he stepped out of the hotel onto Fremont Street,

467
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: he heard the music and just started dancing immediately. I

468
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: think he wants to go over to the Chippendales. I

469
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: put on a show. I mean, you haven't seen anybody

470
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: pull shapes like that in a while, Polly. If you

471
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: were both you guys, So if you were staying next

472
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: to my wife and she's playing blackjacket she hit on

473
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: a hard sixteen um with a dealer showing a five,

474
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: what would your reaction be? I would not just leave

475
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: the table? Well, she actually she actually she actually doubled

476
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: down um because the last time was in Vegas was

477
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: like a weekend before you guys, and we're all, here's

478
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: the deal. Are you standing over her? She by herself, No,

479
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm was sitting next to her. I was out of

480
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: I had the worst table in gambling and it was

481
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: a five dollar table, and she wants she knew she's

482
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: a bad gambler, so she's like, I want to go

483
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: play cheap table. So we left the Cosmo, went to Freemont,

484
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: who actually went to the We went to elk Cortez

485
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: and then went to the Freemont and we're gambling there

486
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: for three hours and she was just playing with five

487
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: dollars a hand, and then eventually I was out of

488
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: money and she hit on a She doubled down on

489
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: a hard sixteen with dealer showing a five, and she

490
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: got a four and then won the hand and I

491
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: turned to someone next to me and said, did that

492
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: really happen? And they said yes, And I want to

493
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: get a drink afterwards. I don't drink, and actually her

494
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: gambling forced me to have a drink that night. I

495
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: don't drink either. What do you mean you don't drink?

496
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: We drank every night we were in Las Vegas. Oh, yes,

497
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: we're is good. It's good for after you work out.

498
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: And need to know that. Like a lot of body

499
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 1: builders used that they did to drink beer after they

500
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: work out. That's the Irish fighters used to do. But

501
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: in the fifteen hundreds, that's what I was doing. But

502
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: they didn't know anything about like nutrition or anything. It

503
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: was hundreds. I've been and in ventice and I promise

504
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: you they're not drinking beer after that. They let me

505
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: tell you something. You guys need to start googling this stuff.

506
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: I was working on in my room going down to

507
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: the bar and getting beer because beer brings me I

508
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: need to put weight on muscle. It's like what they

509
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: used to do back in the day. It's like a

510
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: new thing. It's a new thing, but it's what they

511
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: did in the hundreds. A buddy of mine who is reading,

512
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: I had lunch with him yesterday. He said, well, he

513
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: was playing. He's lost like a bunch of weight. They

514
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: said he was playing. He had had two two thousand

515
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: calorie shakes the day to keep his weight up. I

516
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: can't believe it. I used to go to spring training

517
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: and about that problem two and then come home at

518
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: like one. You weren't drinking enough beer. No, I drink

519
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: a lot of beer. But the problem is, he's just

520
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: when you're catching a hundred forty games, you just you

521
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: can't keep the weight on. You just can't. It's impossible,

522
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: all right. So, um, let's move on to Nick Foles. Uh.

523
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Nick Foles signs with the Jaguars. Uh. We've got three

524
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: props on him over under twelve and a half interceptions,

525
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: over under thirty five hundred and a half yards, and

526
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: over under twenty one and a half touchdown passes. Jeff,

527
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: any of these intrigue you, I think under twelve and

528
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: a half interceptions, I mean you brought him in to

529
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: not throw interceptions. Otherwise you just so I kept Bortles

530
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: in there. Um, I do not think that Nick Foles

531
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: is going to be the same player he was in Philly,

532
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: but you brought him in there for that exact purpose.

533
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: And remember the last time he was a full time

534
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: started going through two interceptions in the year. Now, that's

535
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: different offense, obviously, but I think I think you're looking

536
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: at a quarterback they'll throw under twelve interceptions. Mm hmm.

537
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: It is to me this is sort of a double

538
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: edged sword, right. You bring in a guy um to

539
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: get rid of Blake Bortles where everybody's been wanting to

540
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: get rid of forever. And why because Blake Bortles makes

541
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: so many mistakes. But what is Nick Foles. He's somewhat

542
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: of a riverboat gambler and is he You don't know.

543
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: That's sort of a good question. I'd probably stay away

544
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: from any prop um. I think a lot of people

545
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: think that the Jaguars are gonna be a lot better.

546
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: I think they will too, because I like Folds. I

547
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: just like the way he leads, and he leads like

548
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: very quietly, but he leads by example and throws a

549
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: very softball. He's such an upgrade compared to Bortles. And

550
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking just upstairs in his head. But I'm a

551
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: little worried about the interception part in the reason why,

552
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: it's because he'll he'll take a little bit more chances.

553
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: I think towards the end Blake Bortles got so scared.

554
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: It's sort of just backfire it on him and he'll

555
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: probably I'd like that. Do you you this, Jeff, You

556
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: think that Blake Bortles will ever start a game in

557
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: the NFL? Again, I'm sure he'll be on a team

558
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: and he'll start at some point, but not as the

559
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: starter or no. No, I mean like an everyday starter.

560
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking another he's done with that. Wow, that's crazy,

561
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: all right? So I kind of like the interception one

562
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: as well, Jeff. I mean, we've seen he can be

563
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: careful with the football. Um, and I don't think they're

564
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: gonna ask him to do a lot. Just don't screw

565
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: it up. I mean, Bortles was just a damn train wreck. Um,

566
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: he was. Paul Um PAULI, we've got conference championships going

567
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: on in college basketball this week? Do you have Do

Speaker 1: you have any plays for anyone maybe tonight or tomorrow,

Speaker 1: anything that people should be throwing their money on. Well,

570
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: I got place for everybody. I know, what's your best

571
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: Like Washington Huskies today against the USC Chrojans. Maybe a

572
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: little karma karma y. I don't know, scholarships for the

573
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: polo team. Oh you're talking okay, Okay, you're talking about

574
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: Ann becky um um. Yeah. The Huskies are the best

575
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: team in the Pack twelve the Pac twelve. Yeah, it's weak,

576
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: it's could be and they might be an out early.

577
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: But I liked them and the game just went off. Okay,

578
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: So maybe anything a little later in the day, since

Speaker 1: Mexico State, Yeah, I did half. By the way, I

585
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: bet us Washington has been awful the last the last

586
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: five games this season, they have been atrocious. Well again,

587
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: that game is happening right now, so we should probably

00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: give people something they can bet later in the night.

589
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,640

596
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: Paula Douka No Paulli. I want to preface this by

597
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: saying I have not heard this story yet. H It's

598
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: been told to me briefly by the chuckler. Um. I

599
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: heard there was a time you got lucky. Maybe some

600
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: highlight involved. Yeah, this is a good, great spring training story. Um.

601
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: I was with two of my friends, Billy Neil and

602
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: in Mike Metcalf. Now Billy Neil. Yeah, Billy Neil, he

603
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: was the picture of the year in the Florida State

604
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: League and Mike Metcalf was a first round pick in

605
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: ninety six out of the University of Miami. So every

606
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: Wednesday night you'd go to Fort Pierce highlight because it

607
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: was dollar beer in a hot dog night. God. Fort

608
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: Pierces a shit hole, I think per capita at the time,

609
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: it had the worst. It's the murder ratio. It's not

610
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: a good place to go. Now. Metcalf was from Orlando,

611
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: so he had a car even though we're living on Dodgertown,

612
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: so we hopped his jeep. The three of us, we

613
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: go down to the fourth Pierce Highlight. It's Wednesday night.

614
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: We start getting loaded a little bit and we're playing

615
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: the Ponies. Gonn understand it's an O T B two,

616
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: So we're playing the late night Ponies and the Dogs.

617
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: At that time and night, they're really horses don't really

618
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: run at like seven o'clock somewhere in that area. Um,

619
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: maybe you'll get the back end of some of the

620
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: California cards. So we're there to you know, mess around,

621
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: watch the highlights. But here comes out this guy named Timmy.

622
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm like Timmy and he's like six ft four pounds.

623
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean this guy maybe even more like two pounds.

624
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: So they play singles and they play doubles if you're

625
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: not familiar with Highlight, So he's playing singles in he's

626
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 1: the number one, which means when you're the number one,

627
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: you got a giant advantage. You come around a lot.

628
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: So he gets buried in the first first game and

629
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: we start laying into him. We're saying, if it was

630
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: a hamburger, you would have got that. Timmy we're just

631
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: burying this poor guy. So now it comes back around

632
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and here he comes out again, um, and he gets

633
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: buried again, and we're just absolutely crushing him to the

634
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: point that when you go to Highlight four Pierce Highlight,

635
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: it's got like a backdrop and it's chicken scratch and

636
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: it's sort of like theater seeing. So you go all

637
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: the way up. So there's like a big crowd. This

638
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: guy is in our face, m F and us. I'm

639
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna meet you guys in the parking lot afterwards. And

640
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: we were laughing because you know, we're separated by a

641
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: chicken scratch and we're drunk. So about two games later,

642
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: I look in the program. It's Timmy and Jose they're

643
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: playing doubles. Now, the one thing that Timmy did have

644
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: he was so big and strong. He could play the

645
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: back line and throw it, so I knew in doubles

646
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: he would be a monster. So I look on the program.

647
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: He's ten to one on the morning line. So we

648
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: go back out there and I tell him Mike Metcalf

649
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: because Billy Neil really didn't gamble, he was there to drink.

650
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Go give me twenty one bucks. He goes all right,

651
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: so we went forty two dollars each or each forty

652
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: two bucks, and we wheeled Timmy and Jose. They were

653
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: the four over everybody in the trifecta. So now he

654
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: comes walking out and you can see he's staring at us.

655
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: We still were ripping on him because we want him

656
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: to win. Now they run the table, run the table,

657
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: and then he's looking at us like, you know, like

658
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm showing you guys. Meanwhile, we show him the ticket

659
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: and he gets even more upset. So now in highlight,

660
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: when you run the table, the four wins. Now they

661
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: play the rest of the match out for second and third.

662
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: So we're home. But you don't want to be four

663
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: one two, four one three. You want it to be

664
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: high numbers because higher numbers are hard to get because

665
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: you gotta keep coming around. We end up getting like

666
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: four seven six, and the trifecta pays nine hundred dollars.

667
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: So now we hit for nineteen hundred dollars. That's more

668
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: than we made last year, eight fifty dollars a year

669
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: before a month. Okay, so now we go sign the ticket.

670
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: We had a another guy signed the ticket. You do

671
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: the ten percent rule. You have some vagrant, come in

672
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: sign the ticket for nineteen hundred, and you give them

673
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars. This way, it doesn't go on your

674
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: record bottom line, and we start getting loaded. Yes, So

675
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: now what happens in spring training? It's now I look up,

676
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: it's we're about twelve beers deep, maybe three shots all

677
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: of us. Now you've got to make the decision. You

678
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: got to go to the local bar or we're going

679
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: to Dodger Town. Um. Now, when you go to the

680
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: local bar, you got an hour and an hour and

681
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: a half to take a chick out of there because

682
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: you gotta be back at Dodgertown by midnight. So you

683
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: got to make a decision very very quickly. I can

684
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: only imagine the decision you made. Well, here's the other thing. Now,

685
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: Wednesday night was Ladies night. So but we are for

686
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: Pierce Paul. No, we're driving back to Dodgers. So you go, okay,

687
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: so Vero beach a lot better. Ladies Night is gonna

688
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: be fifty and over. So we're driving back. We're driving, okay,

689
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: So it's either Miami subs or we're gonna go to

690
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: the club. So Metcalf is driving at this point and

691
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: we decided to go into the club. Well, here's the problem.

692
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: When you go in the club on ladies night and

693
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: you play in a ball there's fifty other guys in

694
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: there now from the organizations that are there also, and

695
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: there's big leaguers there, so you have no shot. So

696
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: we walk in and I'm like, it was carols Um,

697
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Tom Ends, a couple other guys were there, and then

698
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: comes out the challenge. It's about eleven, and I'm like, hey,

699
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: let's go back home, Let's go back to Dodger Town.

700
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: We gotta get out of here. Man Paul Duke of

701
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: the Voice of Reason. Yes, then the little devil came out,

702
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: and I don't want to know what he referred to

703
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: as the little devil. This is true, this is what happened.

704
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: So there's this girl sitting over there in the corner

705
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: where her friend. She's obviously the hottest girl in the bar.

706
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: Every guys taking every guy is taking a shot at her.

707
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: So now all the guys in the big leagues are

708
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: ponying up and I'm like, I can get her to

709
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: dance with me, and they're like, you have no shot.

710
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, put up the money. So I did a

711
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: little trick in Australia with Miss Australia, and I was

712
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: going to pull the same trick. Here's the thing that's

713
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: going on when I played over in Australia. True story.

714
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: Miss Australia was signing an autographs. My buddies put up

715
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of money, said, you can't get her to dance.

716
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: They put up at the thousand dollars. I went up

717
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: to her, whispered her whisperer in her ear, I am

718
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: not weird. Please be quiet. You're gonna get five. Be quiet. Yes,

719
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get five dollars. Do not look, do not

720
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: do anything. I am gonna take you. I'm gonna come

721
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: back here and ask you for a dance. When you're

722
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: done signing autographs. Just take the dance and I will

723
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: give you five dollars. And she said, yes, this is terrifying. Okay.

724
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: So it worked and then we ended up hanging out

725
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: a couple more times after that. In Misless, yeah, I

726
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: have that neck on people. So now the gauntlet is

727
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: thrown down and the big boys are putting down like

728
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: four or five dollars for me to ask this girl.

729
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: You know, they're like, get her to dance, get her

730
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: to go. Now, it's like, you gotta get her out

731
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: of here. I'm like, there's no shot I'm getting around here,

732
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: So I gotta go to my go to move like

733
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: I've done it five times and I've been hit three

734
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: times and I've gotten lucky twice. Alright, So yeah, and

735
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: I went up to her and I dropped this line,

736
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: do you want to have a pizza? And fuck? And

737
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: she just stared at me and chill, but but no,

738
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: and she said, looked at me, and I said, what

739
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: you don't like pizza? And she lost it. Okay, so

740
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm home. I'm home. I'm got her on the dance floor.

741
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: She died, laughing. Um, Jeff, thoughts, I don't know what's

742
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: happening right now. I mean, thought you want to get

743
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: a pizza? And fuck? Is is that when you still

744
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: use I can't use it anymore? Too old Now. I've

745
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: gotten slapped and lit up a couple of times. But no,

746
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: really that's shocking. But when it works, it's gold. You're in.

747
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure. What do you think? I mean?

748
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: That kind of pick up lines a little bold. That

749
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: was the only way I could do it. It It was like, oh,

750
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: it was five I mean, if she'd hit me in

751
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: front of fifty fifty guys, that obviously we've been pretty funny.

752
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: But like I mean, it was definitely some alcohol courage

753
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: going into that line. All right. I really I don't.

754
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say to that, Paul, I

755
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: really don't. I mean, that's nothing that that story is. Um,

756
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: it's probably know is Timmy Woncks and and you didn't.

757
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: It didn't even involve a Denny's. No, my Miami subs.

758
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: You ever eaten there? I think I've probably been the one.

759
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,400
