6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: my friends know this. Guys who talked to me online

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: know this. If you're just a listener of the podcast

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: and you don't really know me. I'm a college basketball junkie. However,

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: I do know that nobody really cares about college basketball,

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: so I'm not really allowed to talk about it, no

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: matter how good Duke Kentucky wasn't. Holy hell is Duke

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: loaded this year. But but We've got NFL matters to

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: attend to, as well as a phenomenal guest. So I'm

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: not gonna prattle on for too long this morning. Because

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: our guest is a guy backed by popular demand. He's

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of the World Series of Poker, David Baker,

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: and he was able on his one off day he

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: was willing to jump on the podcast. I mean that

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: speaks to a little bit to the strength of this

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: podcast and the power of it. Subscribe rate and review,

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: but as well to um, David Baker's dedication to be

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: a man of the people. Uh. He talks about the

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker, how he's doing in it, pretty

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: damn good. This guy sharp as hell. And of course

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: NFL Week ten and beyond. He is the guy who

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: won the Super Contest last year and finished second in CIRCA.

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: He's basically living the dream the guys like playing golf

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: in poker every day. That's his job. That's where he

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: does right now. And I was telling my kids kids

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: about this and they were like, oh, that sounds like fun. Um. Yeah,

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: that's not a bad job. So David Baker, um some

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: really good stuff. We agree on some games for Week ten,

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: not one, but um some. We'll get to that shortly.

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: A couple of items to touch on first. UM. I

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: just have to say one of the craziest stories I

36
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: saw in college football is that Dion Sanders, Yes, that

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: guy prime Time, is interviewing for the TCU head football job.

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because I was like, wait, Deon's coach

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: college football Jackson State for two years. He knows nothing

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: about running a big time Division one program, and he's

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,279
Speaker 1: getting a look at TCU. That to me is fascinating.

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he's going to get the job,

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this, the the wattage that Deon

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Sanders will bring to TCU replacing Gary Patterson and on

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: name alone, he's going to be able to get some

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: big guys. I don't know if he can coach, um,

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I don't know if you could build a staff,

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of this, you know, this generation probably

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: knows Deon Sanders as Oh yeah, that's a guy who

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: played baseball and was a rapper and was really really

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: good at football. Um. You know, he's famous with the

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: young people. It's prime time. It's Dean Sanders, legendary trash talker.

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: I didn't have a great experience with him interviewing him

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: hung up on me after about questions. Um, but that's

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: the ego that you have with with Deon Sanders. If

56
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: he gets the TCU job, though, you know, UM, that's

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna really enhance that program. Obviously they'll never get

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: on the level of Texas or A and M, but

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: in a state with as good of high school football

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: as there is, um, he's gonna get some awesome players.

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: And that that That's a fascinating one to watch. The

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: other one to watch is, of course in the NFL

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. And yes, I will get Darreon Rodgers in

64
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: a second. Odell Beckham cleared waivers and now he can

65
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: go anywhere, and of course he's got his minions out there.

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham would love to play for Green Bay. Yeah,

67
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: well we heard that here on this podcast last week.

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham would love to play here, there, everywhere. And

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: the funniest one I found was the New England Patriots.

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, sure, the New England Patriots, the team

71
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: that was able to secure Randy Moss to turn his

72
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: career around, they could do the same thing Prodell Beckham, Right, yeah,

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: because you know when Randy Moss came to New England,

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: he had won nothing, and Tom Brady had won a

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: lot bill, but Chick had won a lot and Randy

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: Moss had no choice but to fall in line. Bro

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: this is your last chance. Do you wanna win anything?

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: You want to be anything? You want to be a

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: flame out? In Minnesota and Oakland. I think the story

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: of Minnesota was he treated he went to some like

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: some dinner and like through trays at somebody or so

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: I probably should look it up without talking off the cuff.

83
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: But he was like a jerk to people and they

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: just were like, get out of here, dude. Um, he

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: turned his career around in New England. Can O'Dell do that? Well?

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why on earth Bill Belichick would bring

87
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: in Odell Beckham to work with a rookie quarterback. You

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: don't think Odell is gonna try to steamroll that guy

89
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: Mac Jones who barely throws down the field. Now, anyway,

90
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: that is a horrible fit. Unequivocally, that would be terrible.

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: There's zero chance that I think that happens or works.

92
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. I know they need receivers,

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: but you don't need that type of receiver. It doesn't.

94
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: It works when you've got Tom Brady, an awesome quarterback

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick an awesome coach, who are powerful, and

96
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: they could tell Odell, dude, sit down, get out of here,

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: do this, do that like Odell will listen, They've accomplished stuff.

98
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: Mac Jones has one nothing. There's the way he's gonna

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: boss around Odell back. It doesn't work like that. Um.

100
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: I still think that Kansas City eventually gets in the mix,

101
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: and yes, I do believe the Packers are if not

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: number one, they gotta be number two, right. Um, But

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I do want to wrap up before we get to

104
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: David Baker quickly with Aaron Rodgers, who did a bit

105
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: of a mia copa. He went on the radio show

106
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: against Pat McAfee, former punter who I guess Aaron Rodgers

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: feels some kinship with because he's a former player. Um,

108
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. The last time I saw that guy, he

109
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: was on Game Day and I see this guy like

110
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: off on a boat, just like jump off into the water.

111
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: I was doing the radio show Saturday morning and they

112
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: had on Game Day in the studio and I see

113
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: this guy jump off a boat under the water. I'm like,

114
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: who is this buffoon? What is this guy doing? That's

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee, This is well, this is his stick. I

116
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, got it. Um. So I'm not I

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: don't listen to Pat mcafe show. I don't follow him

118
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: on social media. I'm sure he's influential. I mean, Aaron

119
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers going on his radio show. But Aaron Rodgers going

120
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: on there for a reason. He's not gonna get grilled

121
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: by Pat McAfee softball after softball, So Rogers says, some

122
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: of the comments that people might have felt were misleading.

123
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: To anybody who felt misled, I take full responsibility. So

124
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: it was like one of those half as apologies, which

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: is fine. I don't care. I don't think he needed

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: to uh apologize. I'm sure he was doing it to

127
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: pander to State Farm and all these uh sponsors that

128
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: he's got. It's like, well, you know, you've got Korem

129
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: autol Jabar coming after you on on a on a

130
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: post that went viral. You've got the New York Times

131
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: bashing you, like, can you just say something a little

132
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: bit nice to appease everyone? And I think that's kind

133
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: of what happened there, um, but I did thought. I

134
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: think the funniest comment Rogers maid was I'm not a

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: flat earther or anything like that. Totally hated being compared

136
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: to Kyrie Irving, which is what happened. And I think

137
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway is that Aaron Rodgers has massive rabbit ears.

138
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: We I mean, we knew this for a while. He's

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: anybody who's super critical of him online, he blocks him instantly,

140
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: which just fine. I do I block a lot of people.

141
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm blocking people because I don't need

142
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: to wake up and see people in my mention saying

143
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: f you you suck. I just there's no value in

144
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: that for me. You could say the same for Aaron Rodgers.

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: But I'm a guy who goes on in TV and

146
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: has a podcast and writes for Fox Sports dot Com.

147
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: It's like I would say, I'm a little bit different

148
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: than Aaron Rodgers, who is one of the greatest quarterbacks

149
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport. Um makes on a

150
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: thirty odd million dollars a year. Like, it's just weird.

151
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: I didn't think he'd spend that much time on social media,

152
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: but here we are. Um, he's got the rabbit ears

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: and clearly some of it affected him. That's why he

154

Speaker 1: tried to get David last week and he's like, listen,

176
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of the World Series of Poker.

177
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, uh, and he's still now in it.

178
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Obviously he's a great poker player. Um. I I don't

179
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: know how much you can reveal about the World Series

180
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: of Poker, how much you can say or how you're doing.

181
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about that to starter. Yeah. Yeah,

182
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: So the World Series of Poker actually is a series

183
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: of about eighty tournaments that run for two months, and

184
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: then there's the main event, which is what everybody sees

185
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: on ESPN. This year has moved to CBS. But that's uh,

186
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: that's the one big tournament. Um, it's ten thousand dollar

187
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: no limit, that's the one that people fly in for.

188
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: That's the one you see. That's that's the one that

189
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: makes you immortal, uh in the poke in the poker world.

190
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's the it's it's the big daddy, and

191
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of that. So. Um, I played

192
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: Day one yesterday and it's basically just rive, you gotta

193
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: you gotta last like ten days, I think food. Yeah.

194
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: So I played yesterday day one, and today was the

195
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: day off because there's so many people they can do

196
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: all the day one until one time. We're gonna end

197
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: with probably about six, six or seven thousand people somewhere people. Yeah. So, um,

198
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: so I survived day one, and so I have a

199
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: day off today and tomorrow will be day two for me,

200
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: and then if I survive that, everybody who's left will

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: come back and play Day three, four or five. Six

202
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: seven night. So so is it. Listen, a lot of

203
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: people watch the movie Rounders they think they can enter

204
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: poker tournaments. So is your day one? Like, Hey, I'm

205
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: just gonna play close to the vest, nothing too crazy, uh,

206
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and just so I can survive in advance, kind of

207
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: like in NFL Survivor pools. I don't know if you

208
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: do that, I'm not gonna make any crazy moves early.

209
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Just take the layups and then we'll worry about strategy

210
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: later down the road. Yeah, so there's multiple ways to

211
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: approach it, um you know, and that's that's that's kind

212
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: of thing. Some pros go out and they want to

213
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: just um take a very high variant style and they

214
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: want to try to push the amateurs around and try

215
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: to build a big stack because if you get a

216
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: big stack, then you can, you know, you can really

217
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, apply pressure throughout the tournament. And then there's

218
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: other players who are like, you know, I'm gonna play

219
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: this one close to the best. You know, it's all

220
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: about survival. And just like you staid with the Survivor pool,

221
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: it's very similar. You know. You you can take the

222
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: fourteen point favorites the first few weeks and just kind

223
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: of most likely, unless you get super unlucky, you're gonna

224
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: be around, you know, at the midway point. Or you

225
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: can take a shot and say, you know what I'm

226
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna take a three point favorite that nobody

227
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: else saw. So if the two fourteen point favorites losing

228
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: this week, you know, I'll be in the kath bird scene.

229
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: And uh, you know I've kind of I've kind of said,

230
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: like with the sports bedding contests, Um, they're very similar

231
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: to the World Series. You know, there's you know, the

232
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: one that we won last year was like people in

233
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: the first and the and the other one came at

234
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: second was thirty I think people and you know it's

235
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: there's pros, there's amateurs, there's everybody in between. And um,

236
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you run hot at the right time,

237
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: you can you know, amateurs have gotten deep in the

238
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: in the World Series many times. Um. You know, people

239
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: have come from nowhere to become World Series champions. And

240
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: that's kind of what we did last year with the

241
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: sports Pool. You know, we just kind of came from nowhere. Um.

242
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's lucky and people, you know, it's amateurs

243
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: that just had the run of a lifetime. And sometimes

244
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: it's you know, hidden people who like they're hidden, hidden

245
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: talented that you know, they just really never played professionally

246
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: and they never did it professionally. I'm assuming you're you're

247
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: at the stage in your career where somebody's staking you

248
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: or do you just not even need that because you're

249
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: so immensely wealthy. Well I am not immensely wealthome, but

250
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: I do, uh, I do put in my own buy ins. UM.

251
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: You know, some people stay, but when you stay, you

252
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: know you're you're giving a normal steaking deals in the

253
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: focal world are um. You know, you put up a

254
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: hund percent of my buy ins and then I and

255
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: then we split whatever I win. UM, And then you

256
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: know there will be there's what they call makeup. So UM,

257
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: let's say you're gonna be my backer, and you're gonna

258
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have a half a million dollars

259
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: worth of uh, you know, tournaments throughout the year. UM,

260
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I have to repay that half a million first, and

261
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: then we chop up any profit. UM. But if you're

262
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: a profitable player, you know, I've always kind of like

263
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: to deal with my own business, and that way I

264
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: can keep all my profits. So, um, it's kind of

265
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: a dual edged sword because there is a lot of

266
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: variants in poker tournaments, So there are a lot of

267
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: times where you can have losing years. I mean the

268
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: best players have losing years. Um. So I've I'm kind

269
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: of the type person who likes to embrace variants a

270
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: little bit. So UM I have I have confidence in

271
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: myself and my long term ability to be profitable. So yeah,

272
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: same here with the NFL. It's been an up and

273
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: down year. Uh. One quick other question. I am curious.

274
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: Are you a routine guy? Do you have this you

275
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: know to Tuesday being your off day at the World Series,

276
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: do you like get a massage? Are you going to

277
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: play golf? What are you doing to keep your mind

278
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: off the tournament and and and stay fresh? Well, you know,

279
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: I've basically been playing NonStop for the last like five

280
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: weeks because they've had all these other events. So, um,

281
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: today's really the first day I took off. I was

282
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: supposed to play golf this morning, and I woke up

283
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I'm just I'm

284
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: just gonna bed today. And so I've just been hanging

285
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: out with my buddies and my wife and we're gonna

286
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: go out a nice dinner and uh, just really, this

287
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: is like the first day I've given myself off. Every

288
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: day I either play golf or play poker or usually

289
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: do both. Um A lot of times, you know, the

290
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: tournament will start. It like the tournaments that I play

291
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: will start at like three in the afternoon. So I'll

292
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: get up, we'll play golf in the morning, and then

293
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: I'll play a tournament from three in the afternoon until

294
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: three in the evening to come back. It's it's been

295
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm tired, I'm is to be done.

296
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: But I'm assuming no no alcohol, right, I mean I

297
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: drink when we like we go out to dinners and

298
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: stuff or you know, but I don't drink on the

299
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: golf course, and I don't really drink when I play.

300
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: I had a beer, you know, last level of the

301
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: night last night with UM. The great thing about the

302
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Main Event is, like a lot of these other tournaments

303
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: that the World Series has throughout the month is kind

304
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,240

Speaker 1: all seen it on TV and want to be a

310
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: part of it. And it really is just a great atmosphere.

311
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm kind of more than in a

312
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: normal tournament. I'm kind of like, you know, I don't

313
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: really say it, but like quote unquote celebrity and like

314
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: the poker world and so like they all want to

315
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: talk and they all want to know about like, you know,

316
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: biggest wins and you know, when you won tournaments and

317
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: just you know, you play that and during yeah, while

318
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: while you're playing poker. Yeah, I mean we sat together.

319
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean I sat with you know, eight other individuals yesterday.

320
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: I only knew a couple of them, and you know,

321
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: we just talked for eight hours. You know. I learned

322
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: about one guy who came in from St. Louis and

323
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: he's got five boys and a wife, and he played

324
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: a two thousand dollar tournament to win his ten thousand

325
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: dollar entry. And he played and you know, it's just

326
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: like stories like that. They a guy next to me.

327
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even recognize him, Like he was an amateur guy,

328
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: and he made a deeper on last year and came

329
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: in fourteen and he was back to try it again

330
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: and uh and you knocked both those guys out right.

331
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: Uh no, Um, but I mean I want some chips

332
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: from them. But you know, the thing about the main

333
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: event is it's it's the thing that makes it different

334
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: than all other poke tournaments is it's very very slow. Um.

335
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: So you know, for our listeners out there who played

336
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: poker tournaments, you know, they go down to the local

337
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: casino and you know, every thirty minutes the blind increase,

338
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: which means so you know, let's say you start with

339
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: twenty thousand ships and then you play thirty minutes and

340
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: you have to post you know, uh, two blind every time,

341
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: and then the next thirty minutes is three hundred, next one,

342
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: it's followed four hundred, and by the time you get

343
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: to the end of you know, six or eight hours,

344
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, the blinds are like two thousand or something.

345
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 1: So it goes a lot faster. You have to make

346
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot more moves. This one. It's two hours every

347
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: blind increase. You it's really it's a marathon. It's all

348
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: about it's it's all about having patients in finished seventh

349
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: and in finished. And um, neither one of those years

350
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: that I ever really have a big stack. I just

351
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: kind of survived. Um yeah, yeah, I mean really it

352
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: all just it basically is like life. I mean, surviving

353
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: the poker tournaments kind of like surviving life. You know,

354
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of things thrown out to you.

355
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: You gotta dodge a lot of bad beats, You're gonna

356
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: have a lot of like rare occurrences that could or

357
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: could not happen to you or your friends or and

358
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: you just gotta stay live to the end. And really

359
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: that's all it is. And um yeah, so it's it's fun.

360
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: And you know, they there's a whole like subculture of

361
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: poker that, um, if you're not in it, you might

362
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: not have known it. But I think a lot it's

363
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: a big crossover probably between the sports world and poker

364
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form, because uh, you know,

365
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the gambling aspect, the games, the figuring things out. But

366
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: there's like a whole um, you know, there's a poker reporting.

367
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Um you can just go to like poker news dot

368
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: com and you can follow the World Series or a

369
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker WSOP dot com and follow it,

370
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: and there's reporters that walk around right down the hands

371
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: and keep track of accounts and and all that stuff.

372
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: So the cottage industry, right, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah,

373
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's it's a cool thing. And you know,

374
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of crossed over between sports and um

375
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of a lot of how I

376
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: found out about like these contests. I really got like

377
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: super involved in him was, you know, just from people

378
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: in the poker industry that you know do it too.

379
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: And um so all right, let's get to the NFL.

380
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: So it's a perfect time to talk to you because

381
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, basically Week nine was the wildest week of

382
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: the season. I think you had ten underdogs either cover

383
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: the spread or win. You had the biggest upset with

384
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: the Bills going down, took down a lot of people

385
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: and survivor. The Saints went down as big favorites, the

386
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Rams went down as big favorites, and the Cowboys as well.

387
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: So I am curious, how did you do in the

388
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: contest last week? I was at two and three, and

389
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: it was frustrating because some of the beats, Oh my Carolina,

390
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: I felt great about David um and I the turnovers

391
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: are what's killing me the season. You can't anticipate turnovers.

392
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: There don't model for turnovers, and I feel like every

393
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: week the turnovers are killing me. Donald with the eighty

394
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: eight yard pick six and then the end zone interception, like,

395
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd probably bet Carolina again, but at

396
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: any rate, go ahead, Well, I'll try to take these

397
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: next few minutes. We have to talk out of Carolina

398
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: because they're not good that I'm done with. I don't know,

399
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Donald News, I'm off. I'm off Carolina. We had Patriots

400
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: last week. That was one of the places we liked,

401
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: but um we went three and two in uh Circa

402
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: and two and three and Westgate. Um, we we were

403
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: doing really well on Westgate and so we kind of

404
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: felt like Kyler wasn't gonna play and and we kind

405
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: of forced in San Francisco because it was like they

406
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: were getting one and a half. We knew that the

407
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: line would probably go up to four or five like

408
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: game time, and it was kind of too good a

409
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: spot not to take. But my partner and I neither

410
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: one of us really liked the game. We kind of

411
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: forced that went in, but we managed to dodge it.

412
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: In Circa, UM we hit a lot of games last week,

413
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: but we didn't play know we we kind of we

414
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: were all in on Cincinnati and Buffalo and those those

415
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: killed us. So, I mean, I know you're on Cleveland.

416
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: That was a good call, Lucky lucky. I mean it

417
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: felt good. But David, every week when I see you after,

418
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, you say you went for in one, I

419
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: see the picks. I'm like, he seems to nail every layup,

420
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: like the thirties of seven games. For whatever reason, you're

421
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: sniffing all of those out every weekend. I don't know,

422
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: how are you doing. That's the one thing I feel

423
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: like every week it's like a massive sweat. It's three

424
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the win o'clock games, and it's

425
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: like three games hanging in the balance, and that's just frustrating,

426
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I mean, I think over the last

427
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: year and a half, I've had a really good feel

428
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: of just how these teams have evolved. And one thing

429
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: that I've really tried to do and I think has

430
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: been successful for the last two years that I never

431
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: did before was just not being so stubborn in my opinions.

432
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: And you know, there there are more, There are many

433
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: seasons within the season, um, you know for these teams,

434
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: and you've got to kind of pick up when teams

435
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: are kind of going through their little phases. Um. And

436
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: also you know, believe in your eyes, believe in yourself.

437
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: Like that's That's one thing that I've really done that

438
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people haven't done, is you know, they

439
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: look at the line movement, they look at the you

440
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: know where, who's how many how much money is coming

441
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: in on a team and things like that, and a

442
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff is just smoking mirrors. I mean,

443
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: everybody wants to try to say like, oh, well, the

444
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: money's coming in on this team, so Vegas doesn't want

445
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: them to win, they're gonna cheat and do that. And

446
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: it's like a lot of that stuff is just it's

447
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: all noise. You've just got to fade the noise. Really. Um,

448
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: that's tough because last week I love Miami David and

449
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: then it's tar Rod Taylor's in and two it might

450
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: be out and the line comes crashing down. Every pro

451
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: and their mom had Houston and I got scared off

452
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: Miami so I didn't take them. And I think that's

453
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. Well, I mean I think

454
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: a lot of it. Like if you really, if you

455
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, you'll see that every week they

456
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: the sharp players are pounding Philly and they're pounding the Colts.

457
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: Those are two teams that you'll always see the lines

458
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: are moving against them. So whenever whatever the Philly line

459
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: opens at, it almost always closes a point or two

460
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: worse for them because there's there, for some reason, the

461
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: sharp guys, and there's probably just like a few sharp

462
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: networks that they really just feel like this Philadelphia team

463
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: is better than they really are. And I think the

464
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Colts too, And you'll find that, like I mean, I

465
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: believe my eyes and I don't think this Philly team

466
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: is very good. Um, there are times where you can

467
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: play them. I mean, I thought they were great by

468
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: at at the Lions a couple of weeks ago. But

469
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: when they're but when they're playing good teams, they're just

470
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: they're just that's not the type of team that they're

471
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: going to do do well against. Fox Sports Radio has

476
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: big gambling state. Do you think because it's legal in

477
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: those two states that maybe they're getting hit harder than

478
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: some teams in other states where gambling is not legal.

479
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing stuff up down there. I mean, it's possible,

480
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: but I really think that there are just a few

481
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: syndicates that that kind of run the line movements. And

482
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: here's like the dirty little secret of of gambling in

483
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: line movements. And so a lot of times what happens

484
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: is as the week goes on, Uh, you can bet

485
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: more and more on a game, so they don't allow

486
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: you to bet like maximum on Tuesday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

487
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: So a lot of times what it will happen is

488
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: some of these big time gamblers they'll fire one side

489
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: and then the books will overreact and they'll move the

490
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: game a several points. And so let's say that they're

491
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: a limit on Monday and Tuesday is five thousand, So

492
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: they'll put five thousand in, and then they'll have the

493
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: body who uh they're also tracking, put in five thousand.

494
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: Then the body of move put another five thousand, then

495
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: they'll increase it to ten thousand. On Wednesday, they'll do

496
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: the same thing then they'll increase it to five hundred

497
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: thousand day a game and they'll fire it all on

498
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: the other side. So all they're doing is manipulating the game.

499
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: So when you're looking at it early in the weekend,

500
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, the public is just big on Philly

501
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's like a lot of times that's just

502
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: mark your manipulation. So just try to just try to

503
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: fade the noise and and really just just trust in yourself.

504
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a football person, um find people

505
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: you that you believe in, that that that view the

506
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: games similar to you. Listen and read what they have

507
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: to say, but also trust your own eyes. I mean,

508
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean everybody can do that, because like everybody doesn't

509
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: have the time to sit there and watch every game.

510
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: But if you really feel like you have a good

511
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: feel for the sport, I mean I personally would just

512
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: rather win and lose with my own opinions. When when

513
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: we when we got to the end of the contest

514
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: last year, I had I mean, I know people in

515
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: the gambling industry. I'm not big in the sports gambling industry,

516
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: but I do know people who are and you know,

517
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: they would come to me and they're like, look, I

518
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: can tell you what the sharp money is gonna go

519
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: on and who the play is. And I'm like, I

520
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: don't care, like I'm gonna I'm gonna win or lose

521
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: this based on what my eyes tell me. So for

522
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: for week ten, look at Philadelphia, Denver. I don't know

523
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: if you have it in front of you, but Denver

524
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: opened his one and a halfway favorite at home. It's

525
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: now up to three at the influential book circle, right,

526
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: and it's early in the week, dummy money, and you

527
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: know that the like you said, the syndicates are gonna

528
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: love Philadelphia. They can get the three on the full

529
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: field goal on the road. Teddy Bridgewater great as a

530
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: as a dog, but now is a favorite. And I

531
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: almost uarant you Philly will probably close closer to pick right. Yeah,

532
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: I I think that will probably be the case. I

533
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: think you're right there. I don't really know what to

534
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: make of this game because I don't really trust either

535
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: of these offenses. I mean, so it's really what defense

536
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: is gonna get the stop and get the shank pan

537
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: or the the fumble or whatever. I'm probably gonna leave

538
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: this game alone, to be honest. Um, you know, I

539
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: try to. I try to play against Philly when I can,

540
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: But I don't really have any faith in and Teddy

541
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: at all. I mean I don't have any faith. Yeah, yeah,

542
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna I would. I pretty much agree with you.

543
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: I don't Denver's really beat up to a lot of

544
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: injuries in that Dallas game. Uh but who? So who

545
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: do you trust this week? Um? I would throw one

546
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: at you. Do you trust the Saints rebounding? We know

547
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is an underdog, awful loss, all those trends. Um,

548
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: I I still think Tennessee is criminally overrated, even though

549
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: they take my money every week it's up to three.

550
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: Where are you on that one? Yeah? See, there's a

551
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: there's a spot where. Um. You know, I disagree with

552
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: basically everybody that I list into and trust. Um. From

553
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, I've I mean, my my,

554
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: the only thing that I bet before the season started

555
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: was Tennessee to win the South at my nice one

556
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: fifteen it's the only thing that I bet. It was

557
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: my favorite play any podcast, any person that would listen.

558
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: That's what I touted. And I think Tennessee is good.

559
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't even think we've seen the best of Tennessee.

560
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, well, it's pretty hard to say that. I

561
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: mean they just be Buffalo, Kansas City, the Rams and

562
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: the Colts and four games in a row, so it's

563
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: hard to say we haven't seen the best something. They

564
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: looked really impressive, but we haven't even seen this offensive

565
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: full strength. I mean, Julio and a j have not

566
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: been full strength yet. Um. You know, obviously we don't

567
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: have Henry anymore, so this team is a little different. Um.

568
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: But you know, there are plenty of people that are

569
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: listening to that are just anti Tennessee and and I

570
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, and you're one of them. And you know,

571
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: I agree with a lot of things that you tweet

572
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: and that you say on the show and things like that,

573
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: but I don't really understand the hatred for Tennessee. I mean,

574
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: this team is well coached. The quarterbacks been around for years.

575
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Like he's he doesn't make really bad decisions. He might

576
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: not be you know, a plus talent, but he's good

577
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: and he makes good decisions. They have two big, bruising

578
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: running back I mean wide receivers when they're in Um, obviously,

579
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: when they had Henry, they were full straight. I think

580
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: this line is is kind of low. I mean, you're

581
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: basically just telling me that these two teams are equal,

582
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: and we have a Tennessee team that has beaten I

583
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: would say, three of the top five teams in the

584
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: NFL and and consecutive weeks. And then you mix in

585
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: a tough road game at the Colts. UM. You know,

586
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: the Colts are at least a mediocre team. UM and

587
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: the Saints. I mean, I like the Saints team. I

588
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: think they're I think they're okay, But I mean, what

589
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: are they doing at quarterback this week? What are they

590
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: doing at wide receiver? UM? Trevor sime and the immortal

591
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee though as a favorite, UH lost to Arizona and

592
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: the opener as a favorite loss to the Jets outright. Um,

593
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,239
Speaker 1: they they've won these last four as a dog. They

594
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: did smash Jacksonville. I don't know. It's probably a little

595
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill history, Like he just wasn't good for like

596
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: five years in Miami. How has he turned it around?

597
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: We just don't see that. You know, this is kind

598
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: of an outlier, Like think of the last quarterback who

599
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: was mediocre average, the team punted on him for five

600
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: years and now he's rebounded and he's like a playoff

601
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: quarterback every year. That just you know, I haven't seen that.

602
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: It's it's messed with my head, I think. I mean,

603
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: isn't that the Adam Gays effect? I mean, I mean

604
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: he was with Gay right in Miami and and and

605
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: that that's the that's the thing. I'm trying not to

606
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: be stubborn. And I disliked Tannehill a lot when he

607
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: was with Miami, and I didn't want to like them

608
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: when they started there. But um, look, you gotta be

609
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: willing to change your opinion, just like in anything else.

610
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how would you like to be

611
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: judged on your first podcast? I hated that? Probably not

612
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: as good as you are today. And to be honest,

613
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: in five years from now, you'll probably be better than

614
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: you are now. And you know, that's just kind of

615
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: how life works. And some people improve and some people don't.

616
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: And you know, why are we why should we continually

617
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: view people at their worst? Um? You know? And and

618
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: and football is a lot about coaching and who who

619
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: has you know, like what if he had a hitch

620
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: in his delivery and Arthur Smith founded and stopped it?

621
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: What if he what if he didn't you know, progress

622
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: go through his progressions the same way, and he learned

623
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: how to do that, you know, a couple of years ago.

624
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, just what if? What if? What if? There's

625
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: there's so many moving parts in the NFL that it's

626
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: just kind of stubborn to sit and say this guy

627
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: is what he is and he's never gonna change. I mean,

628
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: especially at the quarterback position. I mean, some guys are

629
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: just over athletic or under athletic, But at the quarterback position,

630
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen the most athletic players in the

631
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: world and Murray and Wilson and Mahomes be successful. We've

632
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: also seen pretty average athletic or unathletic players and Roethlisberger

633
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: and Brady and Eli Manning and Peyton like just stand

634
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: back there and and just use their and I mean

635
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: there are more than there are a lot of different

636
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: ways to win at quarterback in the NFL. So I'm

637
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and just and just be prisoner

638
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: of my opinion five years ago. And how about that,

639
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a problem. Yeah, no, No, that's

640
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: what about the opposite. People saw justin Herbert crush It

641
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: last year, and it seems like every week this year,

642
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: justin Herbert and the charges are taken money. It almost

643
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: feels like you've got to pay a little bit of

644
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: attacks if you want to back the chargers. Yeah, I

645
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: mean I was. I was on the charges early and

646
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: I kind of waned off them a little. I was

647
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: on him last week just mainly just because I thought

648
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: the price was too small versus Philly, because I don't

649
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: really like Philly. But yeah, I don't really know. I

650
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: I think Herbert is good, but he might have been

651
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: escalated a little too quickly to that echtelon where he is.

652
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean I don't I don't think he's quite you know,

653
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: Dak Russell Wilson Brady level and that people want to

654
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: put him in those conversations already. So I still think

655
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: I still think Herbert is good. I mean, he's got

656
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: a he's got a good arm is. The problem is

657
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: like he just it doesn't really read as well, Like

658
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's kind of just just kind of just like,

659
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: look quick at Mike Williams if he's open vomit. If not,

660
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: just dump it to Eckler Aland But I mean it's fine.

661
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean they've got enough athletes. I think the Chargers

662
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: are okay. I mean I think checked the Chargers. They're

663
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: not Super Bowl contenders yet, but I think I think

664
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: they're fine. I mean they favored against the Vikings this

665
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: week at home, Vikings off of a tough loss. I

666
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: think they were on the field for eighty nine plays

667
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: and I have to go across the country. Yeah, that's

668
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Vikings are a team that I've I've

669
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: liked this year as well, but I think this line

670
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: is I think this line is kind of short. I

671
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: like the Chargers in this game. Um. I mean, the

672
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: one thing that you worry about with with the Chargers

673
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: is just the home field advantage, you know, because and

674
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: I think people are mistaken why the home field advantage

675
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: is why what it is? I mean people are like, oh, well,

676
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: people want to travel to l A and and and

677
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, leave their cult. That's not really why the

678
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: crowds still up against him. What it is is that

679
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: l A is just such a transplant city and when

680
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: you have you know whatever, they have five six, seven,

681
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: eight million people in the city. I mean, there are

682
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: plenty of people that have come that are Vikings fans,

683
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: and this is the one time that they're ever going

684
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: to get to see the Vikings again. You know, they

685
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: moved from there when they were a kid, and they've

686
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: been a Vikings fan forever, so they just buy up

687
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: the tickets and so it's not necessarily people coming to visit.

688
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, I've heard on like theft podcasts, Well, you know,

689
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: are people are really going to travel in Minnesota? It's

690
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: not really the travelers. I mean, that's why I like

691
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots a few weeks ago in l A because

692
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: there's so many Boston people there that I mean, that

693
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: was a home game for for for the Patriots. Um,

694
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Minnesota fandom is like, but

695
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: I think it's I think they have a pretty strong fandom,

696
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: so you know that that probably felt the stadium. But

697
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: I think two and a half it's a little short.

698
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: So you're basically telling me that these Vikings are in

699
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: the same caliber as you know, the Browns were a

700
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: few weeks ago when they were actually good and they

701
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: had running backs that was a half point line there. Um,

702
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're telling me that this team is the

703
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: same as I don't even know. It's like some of

704
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: the other teams that they've played at home, they've been

705
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: short short lines first and the Vikings really right now,

706
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of think that the team doesn't.

707
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if the team totally believes in Zimmer.

708
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Zimmer's there in a couple

709
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: of weeks. To be honest, it feels like he's on

710
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: his way out. But you mentioned Cleveland. I had looked

711
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: at the Browns. They've they've taken money this week. But

712
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: the Nick Chubb news, I don't know. Yeah, between Chubb

713
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: hunt out um another back Felton got with on the

714
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: COVID list, so it shows out. I didn't see that. Yeah,

715
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: he's only he tested positive. Now he has the facts,

716
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: so there's a small chance he comes back. But Chub

717
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: is out, the other kid, Felton uh also is out.

718
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: And then it's still only like a one and a

719
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: half point line, so I know, Well, that's weird, like

720
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: that news did not impact it at all. Weirdly though, David,

721
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: the Browns are number one in net yards per play

722
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: in the league. Like the advanced stats love the Browns,

723
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: d v o A, all those they they're all over Cleveland. Yeah,

724
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm most likely going to be in the past

725
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: this week. So you can take those numbers, and I

726
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: mean that Jones against this defense, this defense is eating

727
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks alive. Well, this is just I mean, these

728
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: these teams are kind of mirror images of each other.

729
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they both run the ball, they both played

730
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: good defense, and they both have quarterbacks you're gonna try

731
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: to protect. I just really don't trust Baker. I mean,

732
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: say what you will about Odell, and he's the headcase

733
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, and he was. He's not Pique Codell,

734
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean that video is pretty damning

735
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: that that his dad put together. I mean, if you

736
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 1: watched those eleven minutes, I mean, I mean Baker missed

737
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: him a lot. I mean, and I mean, yeah, the

738
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Browns crushed the Bengals, and I was wrong on that,

739
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: but I mean they they Cincinnati drove the ball on

740
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: their throat to start the game and then throw a

741
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: nine yard picked and then there's you know, I mean,

742
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: if if they're gonna have a ninety eight yard pick

743
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, if if Chub's gonna break one for

744
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: seventy yards, and if Donovan People's Jones going to get

745
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: behind the defense and Mayfield finds him for another seventy yards,

746
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna lose. I mean, that's the barance of

747
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. I just trust Belichick to this defense is

748
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: really scheming. Well, um, I don't trust Baker. I think

749
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: Bill really makes quarterbacks who are willing to make mistakes.

750
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: I think he exploits those. Um, it's in New England. Uh,

751
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a game I'm most likely gonna

752
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: be on. I mean, I I don't make any proclamations

753
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: this early in the week. And and also I have

754
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: to discuss, you know, my partner or not we go.

755
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: You know, we each have us say if he loves

756
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland and we just probably won't play the game. But

757
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: I can I can say, like my early leans are

758
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: my early leaders of the Patriots in this game. I

759
00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: just think they're better team right now. And and this is, um,

760
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: this is not a team that I really thought at

761
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year it was going to be

762
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: where they are. But I mean they're their losses are

763
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the game to the Bucks,

764
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: the end of the game, to the Cowboys. Yeah, I

765
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: mean they they just throttled the last few teams they've played.

766
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chargers, the Panthers on the road. Um,

767
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: I think this seems pretty good. Uh. One do not

768
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: knock on the Patriots is they have The quarterbacks they've

769
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: beaten are quite bad. They beat Zach Wilson, my guy

770
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: with the Jets, Davis Mills, Uh, the immortal combo of

771
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: Mike White and Josh Johnson and then Sam Donald. The

772
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: other guy they beat was Herbert but they and I

773
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: don't know where that. I guess a lot of that means.

774
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: Is Baker closer to that group the middle of the

775
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: pack or is he you know, top twelve fifteen quarterback? Um,

776
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: but Patriots have kind of feasted on some bad teams,

777
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks. Sorry, yeah, I mean you nothing you said

778
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: is inaccurate. But also the teams that they've lost to

779
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: have been Brady Yes h field goal in the rain

780
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: that covered, which probably not wise coaching decision to even

781
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: kicked that field goal Dallas. I mean we all saw

782
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: the end of that. That's doc. I mean, we're just

783
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna hold them, you know, like why like and then

784
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphin game. Obviously the Dolphins are are complete trash anyway,

785
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: but that was a very flukey game as it is.

786
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, well, the only other we're winning five.

787
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah for winning five the Yeah they lost the Saints

788
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: and the Saints, but but they're You're right, they're winning convincingly,

789
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: which is what you need to do against and the

790
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: good teams they're and the good teams they're losing close.

791
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: I mean really, the only bad loss they have is

792
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: the Saints. Yeah, and that wasn't even that bad because

793
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 1: the Saints were kind of good at the time. Alright,

794
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: just two more quick ones. Um, so where are you on?

795
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: Like look aheadline stuff? The Chiefs look ahead against the Raiders,

796
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: or maybe it wasn't look ahead but a couple of

797
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: weeks ago or whenever they release them early they were

798
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: seven and a half. It's now Chiefs two and a

799
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: half in Vegas for I think that's Sunday night football. Yeah, yeah,

800
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs are not the Chiefs. We all

801
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: know when have loved um. But I will tell you

802
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: that when I looked at the lines, that was the

803
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: one that I just kind of gasped. Um My. I'm

804
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: just praying that it says a two and a half

805
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: when by the time Circa and Superbook released a lot

806
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: of released those contest lines. Because I will be all

807
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: in on the Chiefs. I do not respect the Raiders.

808
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: Um My, my, one of my favorite players last week

809
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: was the Giants. I mean, there's a lot going on

810
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: with this team. Not only that, but Andy Reid has

811
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: destroyed the Raiders in the last few years. Now. Granted

812
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: it's not the same team, but I just you know,

813
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: a division a division game. It's not like it's not

814
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: like we're dealing with Gruden here with the Raiders too,

815
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: that has seen this Chiefs team. I mean, it's a

816
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, it's um you know, all the distractions

817
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: of the horrible tragedy of Rugs and I mean the

818
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs aren't great by any means, but I'm two and

819
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: a half. I mean it's still Mahomes and hell and

820
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Andy Reid, and I mean I can't wait

821
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: to push the Chiefs this week. Um if that's not

822
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: your favorite, what about Dallas Atlanta? It feels I know,

823
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: nine seems like a big number, but if Atlanta doesn't

824
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: put away Trevor Simeon and Dallas doesn't get skunked by Denver,

825
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: You've got to think this is probably opened on the

826
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: other side of ten, right, because Dallas was a covering

827
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: machine looking great. Atlanta's headed probably back to the uh

828
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, the top ten in the draft. I don't know.

829
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: This has to be Dallas, right. Yeah. So my only

830
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: preseason play was the Titans to win the South. And

831
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: I told you earlier my only end season big future

832
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: that I bet was the Cowboys at nine to one

833
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: to win the NFC about four weeks ago. I'm all

834
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: in on the Cowboys. I think I think the Cowboys

835
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: are as good as anyone. And I'm just gonna throw

836
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: out this game against Denver. UM, and I think this

837
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: matchup versus the Falcons is just what the doctor ordered

838
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: for for Dallas. UM. This is the kind of team

839
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: that they throttle the Atlanta does not have a good

840
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: past defense. Um, there's not many weapons on Atlanta. I

841
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 1: think this is just roll city. I will. I love

842
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This week. I was able to stuff out

843
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: of a couple of picks. You like at least that

844
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: that's good. Um. One last question on the on the

845
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: forty Niners, who are a total dumpster fire and this

846
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: Shanahan stuff is is they can't win at home. I'm

847
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: with you, I just disliked them at all. Yet here

848
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: we are and the Rams are favored by four on

849
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: the road. Shanahan vers McVeigh feels like a kitchen sink

850
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: game for the Niners to save the season, save his job,

851
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Do you buy into that nonsense or no,

852
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm done with this team. I'm done. I'm done with

853
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: this team. I probably shouldn't even pick it because I'm like,

854
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: every time I picked either side of them, they they

855
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: do the exact opposite. But this team stinks. I don't.

856
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean I didn't really like him at

857
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Then I kind of bought in,

858
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: and then I went out, and then I went in.

859
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm the Rams. The Rams. This is a

860
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: good wake up call for them. This Tennessee team whooped them.

861
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: Um I, I this is That's another game. I like.

862
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: I like the Rams. I think I think the Niners stink,

863
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: and I think the Rams will throttle them as well.

864
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: I like how you just phrase it wake up call.

865
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: It almost felt like a wake up weekend, right Dallas? Hey,

866
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: really well to step out of it, Buffalo Bills, So like,

867
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: what's going on? So this is something that I noticed.

868
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: Um So about three or four weeks ago, all the

869
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: favorites recovering, and they were bumping the line lines up

870
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: and you were having to lay big numbers, and I

871
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: started to come back a little bit on the dogs.

872
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: And the dogs have really been successful the last couple

873
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: of weeks. And when I look at the lines this week,

874
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: they feel a little short to me in many areas. Um,

875
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, several of the games we've talked about, I've

876
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: been on the side of the favorites. Um. I think

877
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: I think they they just came. I think the NFL

878
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: kind of came back to a little parody spot and

879
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: they brought the long lines down. And now I think

880
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to get some some value on

881
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: the favorites. So I will probably you know, if you

882
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: look at my cards to come to come this weekend,

883
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: you'll probably see me leaning more towards the favorites. I

884
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: think there are some really good spots for the favorites

885
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: this week. And after two weeks of getting pummeled by

886
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: the dogs, just pummeling it, I think, you know, the

887
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: public is more gonna you know, they're they're like, hey,

888
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: anybody can win, and and I think it's gonna kind

889
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: of come back. I think we're gonna see some of

890
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: these good teams, um really step it up. And you know,

891
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: you don't really find too often where like the better

892
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: team is at home laying a small number. I mean

893
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: some of the games that we've talked about, I mean

894
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers, like I think they're better than the Vikings,

895
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: and they're laying a small number and they're at home.

896
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: The same with the Patriots and the Browns. Um. You know,

897
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: I I feel like there there are some really short

898
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: lines that I'm gonna take that I'm gonna take advantage

899
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: of this week, and um, we'll see what. We'll see

900
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: what happens. Obviously, it's the NFL, and anything can happen.

901
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: You look like a genius one week and at the next.

902
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: But I'm excited for this week's late. I think there

903
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: are some really intriguing games, and you know, I normally

904
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: don't have strong opinions on Tuesday's, so um, we'll kind

905
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: of see how those play out. But I'm liking what

906
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: I see and I'm happy that that that I at

907
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: least have some really strong opinions this early meets means

908
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna like the week. Yeah, I'm with you,

909
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: David Baker, But World Series of Poker Star. I mean,

910
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: if you win this thing out, that'll be crazy World Series.
