1
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites from the Volume Podcast Network. I

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: am not Chad Millman, and said, I am Matthew Freedman,

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Chad's least favorite employee at the Action Network. Chad is

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: on vocation as opposed to all the other times he's

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: relaxing on the job, so I'm filling him for him

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: on this edition of the Thursday Thunderdome. On today's show,

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: our special guests will compete alongside my co host, Professional

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: Sports Better Simon Hunter, in an epic test of wagers

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: and wits that will leave some contestants questioning their mental

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: aptitude for years to come. Simon a k A replacement Scooch,

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: you are a Professional Sports Better. Where would you set

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the odds on me being a filling host for Chad?

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Ever again, after the show, I mean, I love the

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: opening that was spot on, spot on to I'm hoping

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: right now I've yet to win because every time I

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: have a lead, I just wager all my points. I'm

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: a true game Blair, and I've I'm over five on

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: these questions that Matt Mitchell put to the end. So

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: I would say to our two guests, the odds are

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: definitely in their favorite today Yeah, so the odds are

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: in their favor. And by the way, I'm no Chad, alright,

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna cheat on your behalf. Okay, So that

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: that's one number two. Yeah, we'll see about the odds

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: of my returning to be a replacement filling. I'm yet

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: to be fired, which is amazing on its own. I

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: mean it's a stick, of course, but it's also real.

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: I probably am Chad's least favorite employee at action. If

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: he could come up with a good reason to fire me,

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: he probably would, which just speaks to how good I

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: am at my job and also how good I am

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: at covering up my fireball offenses. Simon, today you will

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: face two guest challengers. Our first guest is the host

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: of the Take Cast, this Wool Cast, and a KG

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: veteran at Sports Grid. We welcome Fantasy football group, Davis Maddick. Davis,

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: you are looking spelt like a guy on a mission

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: not to lose another weight loss prop. How's it going.

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: It's going great. I'm in my intermittent fasting window right now,

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: continuing continuing the problem that my senses are sharpened, I'm heightened.

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: All I have going through me right now is nicotine

40
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: and black coffee. You're right, I'm ready to go. Okay.

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Our second guest here is an Action Network NBA and

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: NFL handicapper, co host of the Action Network podcast NBA Show,

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: and he appears on the very short list of people

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: who are from Philadelphia and also nice Raheem Palmer is

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: my pleasure, man. I'm just I'm happy to be here.

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Great to have you. Here. Is how the game is

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: played today. You will answer two kinds of questions. First,

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: traditional trivia questions about sports, sports betting, and the world

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: at large. And second, completely subjective and totally asinine open

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: ended questioned or prompts that I alone will judge to

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: accumulate points. You must answer the trivia questions correctly, and

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: also you must convince me that your responses to those

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: open ended prompts are better than the responses from your opponents, because,

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: just like sports betting, you can't get them. All right,

55
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's begin Part one, which I have dubbed

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: the Relevance of irrelevance. Today we will be celebrating the

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: upcoming NFL Draft. One of the many cultural phenomenon to

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: come out of the draft is the advent of Mr Irrelevant,

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: the Moniker bestowed upon the very last pick of the draft.

60
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some past Mrs Irrelevant, raheem, starting

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: with you. Here. With the four hundred and eight seven

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: and final pick of the nineteen seventy six draft, going

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: way back, the Steelers selected Kelvin Kirk, who became the

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: first player officially referred to as Mr. Irrelevant. Kirk was

65
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: a product of this college known more today for basketball

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: than football, nicknamed the Flyers. Raheem, what college am I

67
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: talking about? I'm called Temple. I don't know, guys, I

68
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: know nothing about basketball, especially college basketball. The answer was Dayton. Alright, Simon,

69
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: coming over to you. In two thousand and nine, Kansas

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: City selected this kicker as Mr Irrelevant after releasing him

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen. He finally got his hashtag

72
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: revenge this February when he defeated Kansas City and the

73
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Name this kicker. I don't believe in kickers.

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that answer. That is a correct answer philosophically,

75
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: but in reality it is wrong. The correct answer is

76
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Ryan suck up. You knew that one. Let's see if

77
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: you can get your question right. In two thousand and seven,

78
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Alabama's Ramsey Robinson became the newest Mr Irrelevant. His NFL

79
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: career low light was committing an ill fated Week seventeen

80
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: taunting penalty in a game his team lost to cap

81
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: a historic oh in sixteen season named the team and

82
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: the year the Detroit Lion and in two thousand and eleven,

83
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: so close Detroit Lions two thousand and eight. Damn, And

84
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: that should have that obvious because obviously Mr Relevant is

85
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: not going to stay on the team for four years.

86
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: Very tough, look there, All right, gentlemen, here's the prompt

87
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: for part number one. The NFL drafts Mr Irrelevant as

88
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: a player, so irrelevant he somehow remains relevant Using this definition,

89
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: who were what would you choose as pop cultures current

90
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: Mr Irrelevant? For example, Al Gore, Eric Mangini, Blockbuster Video,

91
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Glenn Beck, and Alfonso Ribiro are all good examples of

92
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: a contemporary MR Irrelevant. In fact, we can open this

93
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: up a little bit. I will accept answers in the

94
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: miss irrelevant category and also the doctor irrelevant category. If

95
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: you want to go that direction, simon, give me your

96
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: pop culture MR Irrelevant. I end up going with Charlie

97
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: Sheen because I just felt like Charlie was bigger than

98
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: life for a while. I mean, he had to run

99
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: with the sitcom show and then just the whole Tiger

100
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Blood thing. It was just like a storm. And I

101
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: just feel like I haven't seen him until recently on

102
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: some podcasts, like a couple of weeks ago, So it

103
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: feels like Mr. Irrelevant. It's definitely to me, it's Charlie Sheen.

104
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: I like that answer. That's a good answer, Davis. Give

105
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: me your answer for Mr Irrelevant of pop culture. I

106
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: definitely think it has to come from someone who was

107
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: popular in the Internet era, but not the full on

108
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: everyone is broken brain logged on twenty four hours a day.

109
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: So my answer was Simon Cowell because everyone has faint

110
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: memories of watching American Idol and it might even still

111
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 1: be on, but no one knows. Like you can reference

112
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Simon Call to anyone and they know who it is,

113
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: but they have no idea what he does now. If

114
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: he's on TV, if he's off TV, everyone knows him,

115
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: but he doesn't do anything relevant in our world today.

116
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Great answer, Love that one. Raheem, what do you got Mr?

117
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Elevant for pop culture? I'm gonna go with the entire

118
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: sport of boxing, because I'm also a boxing handicapper. You know,

119
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: the best fighters don't fight each other. We all want

120
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: to see Terence Crawford versus Aero Spence, It's not gonna happen.

121
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: We all wanted to see Deontay Wilder versus Anthony Joshua.

122
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Who knows that Tyson Fury is

123
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna fight Anthony Joshua. We didn't see Manny Pakia and

124
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Floyd Maywear the fight until five years too late. It's

125
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: the sport of boxing. It's the most irrelevant thing ever,

126
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: and it breaks my heart. I think that's a great answer.

127
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Now I should say I think all of your answers

128
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: were equally good, which means frame differently. I think they

129
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: were all equally bad. I'm sorry. I would have taken

130
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: two answers, either Chad Millman or Kim Kardashian. You know,

131
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Kim Kim Kardashian is not a good answer. She is

132
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: relevant to so many people, is it's a It would

133
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: be a bad answer. She literally had a picture taken

134
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: down from Twitter last week, like she's news every single week. No,

135
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm running the show here, right and I don't hand

136
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: out points like candy just because you guys have some

137
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: warped sense of what actually happens to be relevant. I

138
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: run a tight operation here, unlike Chad Millman. All Right,

139
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how to manage anybody. When I ask

140
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: an open ended pop culture question, I expect you to

141
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: answer with the answer that I would have given. All Right,

142
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: I'll get zero points. Message sent okay, Part two of

143
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: the podcast blue Chips. The phrase blue chips gets tossed

144
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: around a lot before the NFL Draft, but top ranked

145
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: amateur players is just one of the many meanings of

146
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: the phrase. To celebrate all things blue chips, I will

147
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: ask each of you two questions, one about blue chip

148
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: football recruits and another about another kind of blue chips.

149
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: For him. Question number one, the Tennessee State Tigers are

150
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: expected to name this former blue chip recruit and Heisman

151
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Trophy winner as their next head coach. Who is it.

152
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Nick notes because you know, Blue

153
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: Chips was one of my favorite movies. That's very prescient,

154
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: very incorrect. The answer is Eddie George. However, the second

155
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: question for you, the classic basketball film Blue Chips stars

156
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,239
Speaker 1: Nick Nolte, as a basketball coach known for great tirades

157
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: like this one. This is by far the worst team

158
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: that has ever sat in this lockable, lockable we should

159
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: be playing without. There's not one of you, not one

160
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: of you that's trying to horn to wear. But blue

161
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: Chips also starred these two real life NBA teammates in

162
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: mid nineties superstars for him. Who am I talking about?

163
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Hanny Hardaway and Shaquille O'Neill nailed it. Great movie, alright, Simon,

164
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: coming over to you. Trevor Lawrence was the definition of

165
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: a blue chip recruit when he signed with Clemson. He

166
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: was also recruited by Alabama in an effort led by

167
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: this current member of the Buffalo Bills coaching staff. By

168
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: the way, obviously this question was concocted by Bill's fan

169
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: and producer extraordinaire Matt Mitchell. Simon, So I'm gonna guess

170
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: it's some type of old quarterback each to play for

171
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Obama of the past. I don't know, Brian Dable, all right,

172
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: Simon your second question. Some of the best and safest

173
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: investments in the world are referred to as blue chip stocks.

174
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: Financial advice company the Motley Fool recently made a list

175
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: of the top twenty five blue chip stocks. Three of

176
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: the blue chip companies they listed are known for products

177
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: that people eat or drink. Name two of them. So

178
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, give me two blue chip companies whose products

179
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: have to do with food or beverages. I'll go with

180
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: Coca Cola. Uh, I feel like that's a lay up

181
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: for food. I'll go with oh Man wafer chips. Is

182
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: that wafer chips? What I'm trying to I'm trying to

183
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: think of food? I'm like, what the hell are you

184
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: to be traded on the I can't think of a food,

185
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: but I can think it's Coca Cola. So I'll just

186
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: got co cool on PEPSI. Yes, Coca Cola is one

187
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: of them. McDonald's ever heard of it? Starbucks? Yeah, I

188
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: didn't think we're going like that that. You're going like

189
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: individual like food brands. You got me there? Okay, horrible.

190
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: We we need to find a replacement for the replacement Scooch. Whoa, whoa,

191
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: whoa whoa easy? Stalin alright, easy, okay, Davis coming over

192
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: to you. Former blue chip local recruit for l s

193
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: u Jamaar Chase is a heavy favorite to be the

194
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: top wide out taken in this year's draft. He is

195
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: from Jefferson Parish, as Louisiana is the only state that

196
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: uses parish instead of this word for its administrative divisions

197
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: of the state county, county. Nailed it, Davis. Here's your

198
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: second question about blue chips. Blue tortilla chips are made

199
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: from blue corn, a frustrating crop known to topple over

200
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: in the field. As a result, blue corn is difficult

201
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: to harvest using this popular farm machine, which is also

202
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: a common word in NFL draft circles. Davis, what is

203
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the name of this popular farm machine which is also

204
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: a com combine? Yes, nailed it. I don't think I

205
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: would have gotten that if I didn't know the answer

206
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot. It's gonna go thresher because that's what we

207
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: use in Kansas for wheat, but combine is for corn.

208
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: Growing up in in Uh, an agricultural state. Finally paid off,

209
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Davis Maddick. Finally, all right. The prompt for part two

210
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: the NFL draft is all about managing your assets, kind

211
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: of like a financial advisor. What current NFL coach or

212
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: general manager would be the last person you would pick

213
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: to manage your financial assets? Davis, who are you going

214
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: with Cliff Kingsbury because he takes diamonds and turns them

215
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: into copper. He doesn't, he doesn't quite turn them into coal.

216
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't turn them into nothing. But he takes Kyler

217
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: Murray and DeAndre Hopkins and Chase Edmonds and Andy Isabella

218
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk and turns them into the most horizontal

219
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. You don't want someone to turn

220
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: your your Bitcoin and your Google into Coca Cola and

221
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: GM stock. That's not what you want. Okay, good, good answer.

222
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: Knowing Matt Mitchell the way that I do, I'm imagining

223
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: that he already thinks you have won this portion of

224
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: the podcast without a doubt. You got that right, Freedman.

225
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury is a total fraud and charlatan. And this

226
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: is one of the most correct answers we've ever received.

227
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: All Right, Raheem Palmer, what current NFL coach or GM

228
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: would be the last person and you pick to manage

229
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: your financial assets? I love you, guys, but there's really

230
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: only one answer, and the answer is less sneat. He's

231
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: the GM of the Rams. I mean, let's be real.

232
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: The Rams had had a first round pick since two

233
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, and they don't have their first round

234
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: pick for the next three years, the last first round

235
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: draft pick they had with Jared Golf. We're in an

236
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: era now where if you got a first round pick

237
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract, you can fill your team out

238
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: with other guys and pay them, you know, big money.

239
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: This guy is trading his first round picks, his second

240
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: round picks, and they're paying these guys big money. So

241
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let him manage my my betting account, Like,

242
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: how can you let this guy manage anything. They're paying Ramsey,

243
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: they're paying Donald, They're paying all these guys big money,

244
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and if they don't hit on these mid round draft picks,

245
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna steak. He's the answer, really interesting answer every him.

246
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right, Like less need I look

247
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: at him. He's the dude who parlays all the big favorites.

248
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: Every bet for him is a can't lose bet exactly

249
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: all right, Simon, what current NFL coach or general manager

250
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: would be the last person you picked to manage your

251
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: financial assets? And I think that was the whole big

252
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: part of the question, is the financial assets. So the

253
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: only team I could think of that's paying a guy

254
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: thirty five million to play for a different team that

255
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: years how He Rose. So he's probably the last guy

256
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: I would let run my finances right now because he

257
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: has just mucked up The Eagles are paying all these

258
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: old veterans big contracts. We have no money to go

259
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: out and spend on anyone else, soh man from managing

260
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: my financial last person I picked right now is how

261
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: He Roseman. Okay, Simon, I like that you answered the

262
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: question literally. However, you really did not answer it imaginatively,

263
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: all right, I think only two people did that. That

264
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: was Raheeman Davis, where I liked your answer, But I'm

265
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: going with Davis. Anytime you have the chance to smash

266
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury and also talk about bitcoin, I mean that

267
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: that's a winning combination right there. So Davis, you are

268
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: getting the points for the prompt. Let's go to part three,

269
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: A salute to mediocrity. We hear it. The favorites recognize

270
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: the proud men and women whose middling outcomes and so

271
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: so work ethic inspire millions to reach their hands out

272
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: but not too far and capture mediocrity. Every single day.

273
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: There is no better example of these heroes than the

274
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: dozens of mediocre NFL starting quarterbacks last season. Let us

275
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: recognize their efforts. Simon with a career record a thirteen

276
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: and this young quarterback will need to rise and grind

277
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: just to elevate to mediocrity following his recent trade. Who

278
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: am I talking about? Sam Donald? Yes? Congratulations Sam Donald?

279
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: All right, Davis, This former Arkansas quarterback has played for

280
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: four NFL team since two thousand and sixteen, including the Jaguars, Rams,

281
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: and Broncos. When given the chance to start for a

282
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: new team in Week seventeen last season, he posted a

283
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: truly incredible passer rating of zero point zero and a

284
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: blowout loss to Baltimore. Davis, who am I talking about?

285
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: This is so miserable because I know, I know who

286
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: this is, and it's just one of those things that

287
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: has escaped me. And when you say it, I'm gonna

288
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: be like, well, yeah, that's obviously who it is. My

289
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: first guest was the first name that flashed me was

290
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon, but he went to Northwestern. I'm gonna guess

291
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: brock Oswilder, but that's not correct, Davis. I know who

292
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: this is. Just say it as Brandon Allen. That's so

293
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: obnoxious because I do know that answer. Yeah. I mean

294
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: as as a DFS R and as someone who follows

295
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: the college game. I mean, you knew that. I know

296
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: you knew that. You just uh, you know, I didn't

297
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: get it in the clutch, all right, raheem. Few NFL

298
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: quarter backs embody the spirit of mediocrity like this former

299
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Michigan product in recent Super Bowl champion who last season

300
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: got his first start since two thousand and fourteen. Who

301
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: am I talking about? Oh my god, I don't know.

302
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: You gotta tell me Chad Henny. No way, Michigan and

303
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion. Yeah, backup back. I mean there there's

304
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: no one more mediocre in the NFL than a backup quarterback,

305
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: and no backup quarterback more mediocre than Chad Henny. That guy.

306
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: That guy takes the cake. Alright, the Super Bowl I

307
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: forgot Alright, here's the prompt for part three. Who deserves

308
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: recognition as the most mediocre quarterback in NFL history? Raheem,

309
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: who do you got? I wanted to go with Teddy Bridgewater,

310
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with Alex Smith for no other

311
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: reason than the fact that football house You've got some

312
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: brilliant guys over there. They literally developed a metric called Alex. Basically,

313
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: the metric describes if you're throwing passes that doesn't get

314
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: you the amount of distance needed for a first stand,

315
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: and the metric is called airless expected. So I'm going

316
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith. I mean, this guy's played on some

317
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: of the most talented teams ever. He's played on the

318
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: forty Niners when they had all those draft picks, they

319
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: had that great defense. He's playing with the Chiefs and

320
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: he's just a mediocre quarterback. He's not gonna do He's

321
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: not gonna, you know, win you those games. He can

322
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: manage the game, and I think when I think of

323
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: a mediocre quarterback, he's it. Anytime you have a metric

324
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: that measures mediocrity named after you, you have to be

325
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: pretty specially mediocre. So I think that's a really intriguing answer, Simon,

326
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm kicking it to you. Who deserves recognition as the

327
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: most mediocre quarterback in NFL history. A lot of great

328
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: options here once again, but uh, I guess I'll just

329
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: go with him because you're still playing Andy Dalton. Uh.

330
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: Just wo'ses mediocrity A guy that will get you the playoffs.

331
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: But you know that's right ends a guy that now

332
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: his way passes me. Arctony is just bad. So I'm

333
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: gonna go with Andy Dalton, all right, Andy Dalton from

334
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: my alma mater of TCU. Interesting choice. Davis Simon had

335
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: the correct answer. It is it is Andy Dalton, because

336
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: mediocre also means that you can't be terrible, you cannot

337
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: be actually bad. All the time, Andy Dalton has had

338
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: just the definition of mediocrity. The Bengals were always in

339
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: that Saturday early game when when he was with the

340
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: Bengals that you know, week week eight teen, I guess

341
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they always lost. They never won a

342
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: playoff game. Literally, the definition of mediocrity is ten and

343
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: six losing the first round of the playoffs. So I

344
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: don't care if I have to split the points. Uh.

345
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: Simon was correct. It's it's Andy Dalton, and Andy Dalton

346
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: will be used, by the way, fifteen years from now,

347
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: the Andy Dalton line will be something we used to

348
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: measure the difference between starting quarterback back up quarterback, good

349
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: quarterback bad quarterback. Andy Dalton is the line. Yeah, Andy

350
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Dalton is the line. He he is the line that

351
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: people have talked about on the Around the NFL podcast,

352
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: the Andy Dalton line. That's what they talk about as

353
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: the you know, the prime meridian, dividing good quarterbacks from

354
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks. However, Davis, I think true mediocrity is deciding

355
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: not to pivot, not to come up with a different answer.

356
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: I should have audible. Yeah, yeah, you really should have audible.

357
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to split the baby here. So uh,

358
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: instead of awarding half the points to Davis and half

359
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: the points to Simon, I am going with Raheem. And

360
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: by the way, I think Alex Smith is a perfectly

361
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: mediocre answer to who is the most mediocre quarterback ever?

362
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: So here I should have went with Ryan Fitzpatrick because right,

363
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick can't even hold down a job that might have

364
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: even been better. Yeah, you know Born and Matthew Freeman.

365
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: Ran Fitzpatrick's a really good quarterbacks. I don't know about that. Hey,

366
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: he's better than whatever else they had in Washington last year.

367
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: That's that's all. Ryan Fitzpatrick. I went to pen and

368
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: he was there when he beat us for the IVY

369
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: League championship. He's the reason why my friends don't have

370
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: an IVY League rank. So I have some bitterness in

371
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: my heart towards him, so he's actually good to me,

372
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: all right, So raheem want the prompt. There here are

373
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: the current scores. Davis is ahead with three points. Raheem,

374
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: you are in second place with two points, and Simon

375
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: you have one point. I gotta catch up right Part four,

376
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: the real m vps to cleanse the palette from all

377
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: this mediocrity talk. Let's talk m v P s Davis.

378
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: In the NBA. Nicola Yokich of the Denver Nuggets is

379
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: now minus two hundred to win the m v P.

380
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: But this former m v P, who entered the season

381
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: as the oldest starting player in the NBA, is currently

382
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: twenty to one. Who am I talking about? Currently twenty

383
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: to one and the oldest player? I mean, I assume

384
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: it's Lebron James, he is thirty six years old. He No,

385
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: it's it's Chris Paul. It's Chris Paul. Oh, but Chris

386
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Paul is not a former m v P. So I don't.

387
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't. This is uh? I mean, is Lebron older

388
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: than Chris? But I'm going Lebron. I'm going Lebron has

389
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: gotta be the answer. The answer is Lebron. That was great.

390
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: You almost talked yourself into the wrong answer, and then

391
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: you talked yourself back into the right answer. Nicely done, Simon.

392
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: In baseball, catcher Pudge Rodriguez one of my personal favorites,

393
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: by the way, one a m v P. Since then,

394
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: only two other catchers have been voted m v P.

395
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: Name one of them. Well, I'm this catcher probably in steroids.

396
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm like your boy, pooch. I'm gonna go with oh Man,

397
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Now I just lost because I made that horrible joke.

398
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: Damn it. Dude, he played for the Twins, not Brow

399
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: or what the hell is that dude's name. I could

400
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: sit here listening to this all day, keep going, I'm

401
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna get it. I know he's the

402
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: catcher for the Twins. Man, I can't blue on blank

403
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: because I had him fantasy for a year, but I

404
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: don't remember. Well, this is sweet karma coming back at

405
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: you so quickly for your comment against Hall of Famer

406
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: Pad Rodriguez. The answer you were looking for was Joe Mauer.

407
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: I also would have accepted Buster Posey. This guy just

408
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: a catcher, a catcher. This is a catcher doing this

409
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: a catcher catch. Just don't do this, alright, raheem. This

410
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: iconic nineties quarterback is the only NFL player to win

411
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: three consecutive m vps. And by the way, he also

412
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: had a killer cameo and there's something about Mary. Who

413
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: am I talking? Brett Farve nailed it all right, the

414
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: prompt for part four. Many great men and women win

415
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: MVP awards, but sadly most do not name one living

416
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: American sports figure or otherwise you would like to bestow

417
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: an MVP award two and give me your reasoning why, raheem. Okay,

418
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: I know you said one, but I have to split it.

419
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna go co m v P s. You gotta

420
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: understand we're a gambling company. The Professional and Amateur Sports

421
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: Protection Act of two being struck down that changed all

422
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: of our lives. So the co m v p s

423
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: are Governor Chris Christie and Phil Murphy. They were on

424
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: the bill. They got this thing struck down for us.

425
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: We don't have to meet some bookie in a random

426
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: parking lot at you know, twelve at night. We can

427
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: go into a casino. We can place our bet from

428
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: our phones. They helped get this thing struck down. So

429
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: Chris Christie, Phil Murphy, you had the real m v P.

430
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: All right, interesting, interesting choice. They're really going for the

431
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: heart strings, right, I mean you're going for something that

432
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: you know is near and dear. So uh good strategy there, Davis.

433
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to do someone literary. My o G answer

434
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: was going to be Jack Carrollac but he's dead. So

435
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: my answer is Don DeLillo, who has done more to

436
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: advance the books and the stuff that we like to

437
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: read right now. There's chances are if you have a

438
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: favorite author, they probably have read and more influenced by

439
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: White Noise and by by a lot of his other books.

440
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: But most importantly, he was the first dude I ever

441
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: read to read about Internet broken brain syndrome. He was

442
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: like one of the first people who realized how being

443
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: so logged on watching so much TV and being so

444
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: distracted was going to have There's there's these unforeseen consequences

445
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: on the American consciousness. So Don DeLillo is my answer, Davis.

446
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: I give myself an MVP award for not listening to

447
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: what you said for the second half of that. That

448
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: was incredibly boring. God damn nerd Yeah, Simon, name one

449
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: living American sports figure or otherwise you'd like to be

450
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: so an MVP Award two a y. I'll give it

451
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: to you, Matthew, since you won't give me any points

452
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: because I kind of hate you, so hopefully this will

453
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: sweech you over and you'll give me some points. Final

454
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: giving it to me. It's real, original and honestly maybe

455
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: the best answer that anyone gave because I am honestly

456
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: uh an m v P living American, Simon, I am

457
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: giving you the points for that. Clearly not a buff flattery.

458
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Everyone take note, especially potential employers out there after Chad

459
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: comes back and fires me. Flattery will get you everywhere. Okay,

460
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Part five the Grand finale. Here is the current score.

461
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: We have Davis with four points, Raheem with three points,

462
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: Simon with two points. Now the topic for the grand

463
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: finale is the draft with no quarterbacks. Everyone, let me

464
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: know how many points you want to risk. Close your

465
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: eyes and hold up your fingers with your wager amount. Okay,

466
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: here we go. The nineteen NFL draft is infamous for

467
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: its lack of quarterback talent. No quarterbacks in round one,

468
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: no quarterbacks in round two. In the middle of Round three,

469
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: the Cardinals took quarterback Tom Tupa and then converted him

470
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: to punter. It wasn't until pick seventy six that the

471
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: first legitimate quarterback was taken out of the University of Washington.

472
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: He is now the only player not named Ryan Fitzpatrick

473
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: to start for eight different NFL teams before being replaced

474
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: by the likes of Jeff George, Steve McNair, and Michael Vick.

475
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: His career highlight is losing Super Bowl thirty three with

476
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Name this player the best quarterback of

477
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: the nineteen draft, And while we wait, here's another clip

478
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: from the movie Blue Chips. Every time we get ready

479
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: to play, I just want to throw up and oppressed.

480
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about it. I'm sick.

481
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching you guys play. Just how bad can it get? Davis?

482
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Give me your answer? And also how much you wagered?

483
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: I wagered too, And I feel very bad for my

484
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: competitors here because I actually know the answer to this question.

485
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why I know this, but I do.

486
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: It's a fellow by the name of Chris Chandler, that

487
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: is correct. So, Davis, you had four points, you wagered two.

488
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: You now have six. A commanding lead six points with

489
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: the answer of Chris Chandler. All right, Raheem, entering the

490
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: grand finale, you had three points. Give me your answer

491
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: and tell me how many points you wagered. My answer

492
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: was Chris Chandler, and I wagered two, so that means

493
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: I lost my one. Oh, no risk it, No biscuit

494
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: should have gone all in, Simon, None of this really

495
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: even matters because there's no way you're winning. I'm really

496
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: just more interested to know if you're going to be

497
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the grand loser. Tell me how many points you wagered

498
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: and your answer a traditional unlike any other that Matt

499
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell keeps putting these questions years before I was born.

500
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: So I'm really enjoying the show my time on the show.

501
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: Of course, I didn't know the answer, so I wage

502
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: your two points. I once again finished the Thunderdome with

503
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: zero points. All right, So Davis Mannock is the big

504
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: winner with six points. We have Raheem coming in with

505
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: five points, and then Simon a distant third with zero points.

506
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: If I could give you negative points, I would have

507
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: done it all right. Before we sign off, here is

508
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: a word from our Fearless Leader Action Network CEO Patrick

509
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: Keene clean it up or let's get someone who will.

510
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: Is this really as good as it gets? Because it's

511
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,320
