00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume podcast Network.

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: It's mid July, folks, mid July training camps starting in

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: a matter of weeks. NFL season starting soon after that.

4
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: We're probably like we honestly, we're practically sixty days less

5
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: than sixty days from the start of NFL season. There

6
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: are so many wind totals to bet in the world.

7
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Last week we went through with Raheem Palmer the a

8
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: f C. This week along with Raheem Palmer again, we

9
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: are going to go through the NFC. And before we

10
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: do that, let me bring on my bay f f

11
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: my companion, my capadre, a man who is so professional

12
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: that when I texted him in the middle of the

13
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: England Italy euro Cup Final, and it was about fifty

14
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: three minutes into the match, I said to him, Hey,

15
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: can you jump on a forty five minute call starting

16
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: right now. There's nothing really happening, is there. Uh. When

17
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: he finally did check his phone, he said, I'm available

18
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: now if you still need me, not recognizing that I

19
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: was just fucking with him. Mr Simon Hunter, I I

20
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: I always tell you, Jad, there's a love hate relationship

21
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: being a professional better where I think I finally checked

22
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: my phone because I don't look at it when there's

23
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a sporting matt going on, and so I checked it

24
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: after the match was over, and yeah, I was like, so,

25
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I feel like I was just

26
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: like not drunk, but like my head was in like

27
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: a million places. I didn't comprehend what you were saying.

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: So I was like, is this guy really asked me

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: to call? Do a call in real quick? But M yeah,

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: I hate that. I knew that was gonna happen. I

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: said the last week's show, everyone knew England was gonna

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: lose in Pekst, Italy. That was just that's just how

33
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: it goes as an England fan. UM, But I don't know.

34
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: It's it's one of those where people in America they

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: they kind of heard about the British fan base and

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: about the stuff they're saying how awful they are. And

37
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm definitely a glass half full kind of guy where

38
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: it's like, did we beat Germany to nothing? Like we

39
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: made the finals? Like I was pretty pretty happy with

40
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: um the run. But it's it's just a shame that

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the way it's ended, Like we texted, I I never

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: will see the rest of my life. Three guys miss

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: penalty shots in a row. It's just not something these

44
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: these are the best professional athletes in the world. You

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: mean you could go out there chat, I doubt mean

46
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: you would miss three in a row. So it was

47
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: just very, very bizarre, and uh, I probably won't get

48
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: over it for another about thirty fifty years. It's that painful.

49
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: It kind of is where it's like you're just you're

50
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: you're so close. Um. I saw that it was the

51
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: highest rated television event in England since Princess Diana's funeral,

52
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: so like the whole country was all in so I

53
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: just it's just a heartbreak for the country. And like

54
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: in America, we've kind of been out and about, in

55
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: England there's still locked down. So those images you see

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: on TV, those are people that are like basically they

57
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: had to get a whole process just to be on

58
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: public and be around other people, out of like a

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: place to celebrate. So it's just heartbreaking knowing like we're

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: not that we're never gonna get back, but it's not

61
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna get better than that, you know what I mean.

62
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: You play they're playing at home for all, for everything,

63
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: and you just lose it. Oh God, yeah, it's it's

64
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: It's just gonna stay with me for a long time,

65
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: I would think watching I watched it obviously on Sunday,

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: and when it got down to the penalty kicks and

67
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Italy missed one of the kicks and Pickford made that

68
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: great stop. Uh, I thought to myself, this has catastrophe

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: written all over it. Like there it's going to this

70
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: is everybody should stop time right now, enjoy this moment

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: if you're an English football fan, because it can only

72
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: get worse from this moment. And if you're not familiar

73
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: with the history of English football and you're not familiar

74
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: with the heartache that surrounds it and the emotional investment

75
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: that people in England or citizens of England who live

76
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: abroad the English diaspora have about their football team. Um,

77
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: you could not let yourself believe that anything good was

78
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: going to happen, even when they were up in peaks.

79
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: There's no way that's it was the one off. As

80
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: soon as it was one nothing two minutes and I said,

81
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: this is peak. Now, We'll never be happier than we

82
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: are right now. And uh, and yet it got Yet

83
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: it peaked, it peaked even higher. When you were up

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: in penalty kicks. But now really, because anyone that watches

85
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: peks knows it's it's irrelevant until they all shoot. It

86
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're up one, you're up to like

87
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: weird stuff is gonna happen because their pressure just shifts.

88
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: So like basically in my mind, I'm just having these

89
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: flashes popping my head of David Beckham kicking the ball

90
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: fifty yards over the net, which is something that happened

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: in the nineties that to this day this man has

92
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: done everything. There's not a pub you can walk into

93
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: in England that someone doesn't yellow joking about mixing that

94
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: that penalty kicks. So that's why my heart breaks for

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: these guys like Marcus. A couple of these guys are

96
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to leave England. It's one of those

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: where like Chris Sian Ronaldo, the greatest player ever, he

98
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 1: basically had a foul committed against him when he played

99
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: England in the World Cup and because of it he

100
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: left England and he went to Spain. So it's like

101
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: it's sad, but these hooligans are just mental over there.

102
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: So like a lot of lives are gonna be changed

103
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: just from this, these little plays that happened in this game.

104
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: I was truly heartbroken for soccer. The kid who missed

105
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: the last kick, and and the youngest player on the team. Um,

106
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: he had been amazing during the game and playing his

107
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: heart out and he was probably the most aggressive player

108
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: for England through the second half of the match, and

109
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: I loved watching him play and the way he was

110
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: attacking the goal and trying to sort of push the

111
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: ball forward for the rest of his team, like I felt,

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: so I was sick to my stomach that he was

113
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: the guy taking the last shot, and then more stick

114
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: to my stomach when he missed, and then devastated for

115
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: him and seeing his reaction. And then of course you

116
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: know in the days, since you knew because it was

117
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: three black players that missed the shot, you knew there

118
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be just incredibly a boring behavior on the

119
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: part of fans who were going to be saying really

120
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: ugly thing, and especially for soccer. Like the compounding nature

121
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: of all of it, I was just heartbroken for that kid.

122
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: And it's also there's been you've been seeing the best

123
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: that people come out like they pretty much have ruined

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of like rules that artwork that people have

125
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: done for these players around England, around London, and people

126
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: have come and they've recovered it up with like love

127
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: letters and things like that, which like, again it sounds corny,

128
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: but I think it's one of those where it's just

129
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, love beats hate. So it's one of those

130
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: where that's that's kind of what's going on in England

131
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: right now. It's like, um, it's the same thing here

132
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: in America. They're just a really big undertone of racism there,

133
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: and especially Marcus one of the lead players for England,

134
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: he has really been a big advocate against racism and

135
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: spoken out about it. And again that's what Breake Smarting

136
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: like my favorite clubs Man United, that's who he plays for.

137
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: He's just getting buried right now, like he's the one

138
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: that hit the post. If people don't know which player

139
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: he is, he hit the post and he is just

140
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: in a world of pain because he cares that much.

141
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: So again, I mean, we'll we'll move on to American football.

142
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, right now in England it's it's dark days.

143
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: Yet it is dark days. By the way, I didn't

144
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: ask the most important question, good did you bet it? Yeah?

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: And I didn't Hedge, I know, always talked people to

146
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Hedge that was like a fun like I'm not I'm

147
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: not gonna retire off my winnings and from that, so

148
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: I basically had better grant to win like thirty two

149
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: thousand because I didn't bet it originally because I honestly

150
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: I didn't think England was gonna have a chance going

151
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: into it because we never do. I had a chance

152
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: to hedge on Italy their prior matchup they played against Spain,

153
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: and I didn't do it. I really did think England

154
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: was actually gonna win. Again, I'm a sucker. So yeah,

155
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I lost probably a total of like two because I

156
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: was bet on England every now and then to win

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: and they kept winning obviously to make it to the finals.

158
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, not not not a not a winning weekend

159
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: for your But I mean did win on the fight?

160
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: That was a good fight. I don't know if you

161
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: bet on that? Did you bet on Connor? I didn't

162
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: bet on Connor. We can bring in Raheem, raheem. Did

163
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: you bet on Connor? Did you bet on England? And

164
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the NBA? He just overwhelmed me, Like so I just

165
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: I've really just it's the one thing I just haven't

166
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: paid attention to. And I'm one those people I can

167
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: lock in and everybody can just be hype over one

168
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: thing and I'll just have tunnel vision. So I didn't

169
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: even see it. Um. I regret not betting on against

170
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: Connor because you know, I'm a boxing guy. I'm not

171
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: really I'm not really an m M M A guy. But

172
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: I compare him to you know a guy named Adrian

173
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: Browner in boxing who's basically just loud and boisterous. He's

174
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: just a name now, and that's what Connor is. And

175
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: he sells tickets and you know he's gonna get a

176
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: lot of action on him, and that's gonna create an

177
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: inefficiency in the market. And had I've been paying attention,

178
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: I definitely would have faded. Well, listen, I'm not an

179
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: m M A guy either. Didn't stop me from writing

180
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: a book about Chuck Odell. You know, some of us,

181
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: some of us go all in even when we don't

182
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: know anything. We call that dad knowledge. That's what we do.

183
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it's the way to do it right.

184
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: Last thing before we get to you mentioned the NBA

185
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 1: finals last time you were on. We were talking a

186
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: little bit about NBA advancing the Suns and a dance

187
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: of the Suns in the box. So the Suns are

188
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: now up to one. They looked dominant in the first

189
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: two games. But Janice, who a week ago, ten days

190
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: ago looked like he might have to have his leg

191
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: amputation below his knee, is now having one of the

192
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: greatest NBA Finals in history. Is that enough? Have you

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: seen enough from the box to say, yeah, there's value

194
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: on taking the Bucks at this point in the series,

195
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: or to you you know that we're recording this Tuesday

196
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night is game four? Is this a done deal? Um?

197
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: I do think there's some value in the Bucks. I

198
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: mean when you look at Game two, the Bucks kind

199
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: of did everything right. I mean, I know they got

200
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: they got beat by ten points, but you know, they

201
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: figured things out defensively. It's just they had problems with

202
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: shot variants. And you know, Matt talks about it all

203
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: all the time. That's what's my colleague, Matt Moore, one

204
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: of the best NBA writers all the time. It's just

205
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks, for whatever reason, the last three seasons in

206
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they can't hit open shots. And you know

207
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: they've been lucky enough to hit open shots at home

208
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: during this series, and the way Janice is playing, it's

209
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: just he he looks like he could win. He could

210
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: win this series if he just gets any help. Like

211
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at game two, Drew Holiday

212
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: and Chris Middleton didn't show up at all. Drew Holiday

213
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: finally showed up in game three and they blow them out.

214
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: And I just think so much of this series is

215
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: gonna depend on whether DeAndre Ayton can stay out of

216
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: foul trouble, because otherwise they have nobody to guard them.

217
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: You know, Sorry, getting hurt really hurt them because now

218
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: they have to play Kamensky. Kamensky is a liability. I

219
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: think the Bucks are really live and as long as

220
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: they get anything from Middleton and Drew Holiday. They've shown

221
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: that they've shown throughout these playoffs is that they're resilient

222
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: and they'll start to figure things out as it goes on.

223
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: So they win game they went, They went um tomorrow night,

224
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: and I think it goes seven. Yeah, look that you

225
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: made a really good point. If they can get this

226
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: series to last long enough, they are really good at

227
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: figuring out how to unpack what's been presented to them.

228
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: And eighton and how they can defend against him, and

229
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: then what he can or cannot do against the honest

230
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: Janice made of his shots within six ft in those

231
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: first three games the Suns were shooting maybe, So what

232
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: Janice has been able to do and the way he's

233
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: been able to dominate, it's truly been something special, Simon,

234
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: do you have anything to add there? Everyone knew. I

235
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: feel like every pro I talked to you you was betting

236
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: the Bucks, even on the spread. It was in like

237
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: a money line bet. I mean, just like at the

238
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: numbers they rested, the Sun's rested guys too. It just

239
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: felt like part of the plan, where not that they're

240
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: given the Bucks false hope, but they're just saying the

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: next game of our threes are going down. The Bucks

242
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: have no chance. I feel like that's the way the

243
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: series is. The Sun if they hit shots, the Bucks,

244
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: like you just said, they just don't hit those shots,

245
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: so they can't keep up with it. But I hope

246
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: you're right. I love when it's a good series, Like

247
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: who doesn't want it to go seven? If it goes

248
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: five one, you know they win in five. No one's

249
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: gonna be shocked If the Suns go for one win

250
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah all right, well let's get back last week. Uh,

251
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: this trio did the a f C win totals who

252
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: we liked, who we didn't, And I encourage everyone to

253
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: go back and listen to that episode so you can

254
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: get smart, start planning. There's still plenty of good numbers available. Uh,

255
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: it's still in your favor. They're not jumping around um

256
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: like you have to worry about There's there's good opportunities there.

257
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: And I just want to say on that if people

258
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: gave us a hard time, we forgot to mention Denver.

259
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know there were so much people cared so

260
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: much about Denver, but I guess it's all Aaron Rodgers stuff.

261
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: I took the under it's eight and a half. I

262
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: feel like that number was bet up to nine too,

263
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: just because of Aaron Rodgers. So if you're really looking

264
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: at the bed Denver, I would not bet that over

265
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: because it's just I just cannot see Aaron Rodgers in

266
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: the next month switching teams. It's just too far in now.

267
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Like I just people are still asking about Denver. Don't

268
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: do anything with Denver anymore. People. I kind of think

269
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: it's dead at this point. The crazy thing is I

270
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: actually took the over seven and a half wins way

271
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: before the Aaron Rodgers news because to me, it's just like,

272
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, they were banged up last year. Von Miller

273
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: was hurt, Courtland Sutton was hurt. Everybody was hurt on

274
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and they still had a

275
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: defense that was thirteen from d V O W A

276
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: and tenth and total success rate. And you know they

277
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: got free agent sidence with Shelby Harris and Ronald Darby.

278
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: This team they gave up four hundred and forty six

279
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: points last year, So I think the defense is gonna

280
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: be better. And then Drew Lock isn't gonna be the

281
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: quarterback anymore. Like I think that's underrated, Like Drew Lock,

282
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: like through the like he turned the ball over fifteen interceptions.

283
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: How many fumbles did he have? I mean, the Broncos

284
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: had a Laite worst turn turn over differential of minus sixteen,

285
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: so we all know that tends to regress year to year.

286
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: So I think when they got Teddy Bridgewater right now,

287
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: he's a massive upgrade over Lock, So I like him

288
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: to go over. I don't know if I would go

289
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: over at eight and a half, But you know, a

290
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half of Aaron Rodgers doesn't get traded

291
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: and they moved that number back. I'm looking over there

292
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: for sure, but like you just said, there's there's so

293
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: many movement parts there. It's one of those teams it's

294
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: a little scary to even lock your money up on,

295
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: like the team that has that, because I think they're

296
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna still try lock I'm right with you though, Like

297
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Teddy is so much better than him, but it just

298
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: seems like one of those things just because they drafted

299
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: him and the equity they already put out there, like

300
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: he gets first DIBs no matter what, and I hate

301
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: the Hey, by the way, we didn't forget to talk

302
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: about the Broncos last week. We chose not to talk

303
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: about the Broncos last week because we're not talking about

304
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: every single total. We're talking about the ones that we

305
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: find the most value in either the over or the under.

306
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: We're not here to say, we're here to give you opinions.

307
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: That's what we do, opinions. That's what drives the media beast.

308
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: No one's listening to Colin Coward because he's milk toasts. Okay,

309
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: are you sure yeah, positive. All right, here's I want

310
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: to break it down like we did last week. There's

311
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of teams with wind totals. The Packers are

312
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: crossed out on my list, so they must be off

313
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: the board right now because of the Roger stuff. So

314
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: there is that category of teams like we did last week,

315
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: that are at ten wins or more in the NFC.

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: Uh Simon, I will start with you Buccaneers at eleven

317
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: and a half, Rams at ten and a half, Niners

318
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: at ten and a half. UM, give me your take

319
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: on those teams and their totals of double digit wins.

320
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: The team I'm most comfortable taking under is definitely the

321
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: forty niners. UM, just not only because of that division,

322
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: but because of all the uncertainty that could be QB position,

323
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: where I do think that they're gonna make a switch

324
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: eventually to the rookie, and to back a rookie over

325
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: ten a half wins, I I just cannot do that, um,

326
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: especially a kid coming out of North Dakota State. It

327
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: just feels like that's a lot to ask. I know,

328
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: Shanahan's unbelievable and they were. Basically if you just look

329
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: at a metric of the highest injured team. Last year

330
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: they were number one, they had the most injuries by far,

331
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: so a lot of professionals like them to bump like

332
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: the bump up this year just on that simple fact.

333
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: But when I look at that division, I just think

334
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: to myself, I like the Rams better, I like the

335
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: Seehawks better. And again, we can say what we want

336
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: about Kingsbury, but I feel better about taking Arizona what

337
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: they have around uh Kyler that I dode taking the

338
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners about what they have. So for me, I'm

339
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: just I'm just not drinking the kool aid on the

340
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: forty Niners show. I just think there's too much hype

341
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: going into the season them. So that's an under I

342
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: really liked this year ten and a half. That is interesting.

343
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: Right before before I asked my followup question, Raheem, do

344
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: you have a take on what Simon just said about

345
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. Mm hmmm, see I was. I mean,

346
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Rams personally going under because I

347
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: just think that there's a lot of hype around the

348
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: Rams and they've lost some defensive starters. I know they

349
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: got Matthew Stafford. I just think that division is tough

350
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: all the way around. So I don't know how you

351
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: get eleven wins from multiple teams there. I mean, people,

352
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have not really been good, but they still

353
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson Arizona. Like I see all of those

354
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: teams beating up on each other. So I kind of

355
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: agree with you. I just I think the four Niners

356
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: are gonna struggle with that quarterback situation. So I do

357
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Rams, so, but I'm not

358
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: pushing aside the Niners. I think Simon, it's interesting that

359
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: you're saying the Niners under ten and a half, between

360
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks at eleven and a half, the Rams of

361
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: ten and a half and the nine Ers a ten

362
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and a half, the one you like the most is

363
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: under under his minus one fifty uh ten and a half.

364
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: Totally makes sense to me why you would think that.

365
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: And I completely disagree, um because, like you said, not

366
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: a believer in Kingsbury Cliff Kingsbury at Arizona, no matter

367
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: what the talent, because I don't think he can coach

368
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: that talent to its potential. Uh. I am not skeptical

369
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks, but that to me feels like it

370
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: could go either way. Uh, in terms of how they

371
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: play this year, whether or not their defense can continue

372
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: to improve. It got much better than the second half

373
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: of the year. Is Russell Wilson going to be as

374
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: inconsistent as he was last year? Pete Carroll as a

375
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: coach running a team is a wild card. We've seen

376
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: it in the play calling. We've seen it in how

377
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: he likes to manage his team. And have they rebuilt

378
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line enough to make Russell Wilson comfortable? Look

379
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: at pizza record, though, Chad's that you gotta look at

380
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: pizza record. He always wins ten games, Bro, So you're

381
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: falling into the same trap every year people fall intough.

382
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: They go, yeah, what do you see the Seahawks have

383
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: And it's just all of a sudden, they won ten

384
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: or eleven games. We go, oh, ship, they have Russell Wilson.

385
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. Everything you said about the Stolks

386
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: is true. He just wins. It doesn't make any sense.

387
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't get it either. But every year that's what

388
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: really messes up this whole division. It's like, which team

389
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: is gonna sunk it up? Because, like you just said,

390
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Rams, that's the team like

391
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: all the guys I told you in Vegas, every guy

392
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: talked to, that's who they want to talk about. They

393
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: just are so obsessed with the Rams and the potential

394
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: of that team. I just always go back to and

395
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: not to not to completely tout our friend Colin Cowherd

396
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: in his podcast, obviously he's got to keep to leave

397
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: in the Volume podcast network. And a key was on

398
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: Colin's podcast when Matthew Stafford was trade it to the Rams,

399
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: and Colin asked to keep for his honest opinion of

400
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: what people around the league were saying. Because all the

401
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: hype Matthew Stafford, Sean McVeigh match Made in Heaven, blah

402
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: blah blah. To Leed's response was, and maybe I'm putting

403
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: too much emphasis on this little bias. He was, like,

404
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: everyone who on the league is saying Matthew Stafford, like

405
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: an honest question, This is the guy everyone's pinning their

406
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: hopes on. This is the guy that you believe is

407
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: going to be the one who takes you to the

408
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: next level. So I think about that, I think about

409
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: all the investment in Matthew Stafford, and then I think

410
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Kyle Shanahan and his ability to gain

411
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: plan with whoever is on the field. Then Matthew Stafford.

412
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: To me, Matthew Stafford is like the modern day Jeff George. Yes,

413
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: he has a rocket arm and he throws that side

414
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: on past. He has more. It's like he has more

415
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: talent than the wire he actually is. So I think

416
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: people see his talent and his natural gifts and they say, oh, yeah,

417
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, he's great, but he's not that good. I

418
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: am with you. I just don't. I don't want to

419
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: be the one that like the Feno mar Court because

420
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: again it's it's like you just said, it's Matthew Stafford.

421
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: What has he ever done? Um? Yeah, he played in Detroit,

422
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: So I get it right, and that's my old thing.

423
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: It's like I'm I'm not in on it either. But

424
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: it's just interesting me where it's not just one group

425
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: of professionals I've talked to. It's multiple different guys who

426
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: these guys win, they know their ship and they won't

427
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: just they're not just bringing it up to me. It's

428
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: like we we do small talk for two minutes and

429
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: they go, so the Rams, how about the Rams? And

430
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: it's like every guy like, why the hell do you

431
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: guys fucking like the Rams and much so there's something

432
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: there and I've I've gone a little bit more into

433
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: the film, Like I I can't get over the fact

434
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: that he's always got these little injuries Stafford, And that's

435
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: my biggest hesitation. He Or goes like, what are they

436
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: gonna do when he misses a couple of games in the

437
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: the middle of season because we were talking about how

438
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: hard a division this is and everything like that. But man,

439
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: I know, like Raheem just said, they mess they're missing

440
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: some pieces. Their defense is so good. I mean, their

441
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: defense is so good, and if Stafford can figure it

442
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: out with a running game and cam Akers, everything's there.

443
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: Everything there is for a really dominant team. So that's

444
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: one of those where I don't know if I'm doing

445
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: their win totals, but I'm definitely gonna be doing a

446
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: future is either on Stafford M v P or just

447
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: that team to win the Super Bowl because it's just

448
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: a very intriguing offense. I mean, how do we how

449
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: do we feel about righthe Morris replacing Brandon Staley because

450
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a big loss too, Like, I mean,

451
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: I think you can't understate what it means to lose

452
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: your differensive coordinator and lose four starters. That's definitely true.

453
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: But like we just said that, you still have Donald,

454
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: you still have Ramsey. I just feel like it's gonna

455
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: work itself out. Those are just captain leaders, Like the

456
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: Ravens had guys going in and out of that defensive team.

457
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: They start Ed Reid, they start ray Lewis. The rest

458
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: worked itself out for ten years. So that's what I'm

459
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: banking on. It's like, Okay, when I graded out their numbers,

460
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: You're definitely right, there's definitely a drop off, but they

461
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: literally held the Seahawks, what was it, fourteen points or

462
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: thirteen points in the playoffs at home. I just think

463
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: it's just such a dominant defense. Even if it's a

464
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: little step down next year with Stafford's gonna bring to

465
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: that offense, that's just an uptick that it just it

466
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: feels like it's balancing itself out a little bit. But

467
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you, that is a major loss losing that

468
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Uh So, Simon, you just you made a

469
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: really good point. Every single group of wise guys you

470
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: talked to, uh it's wants to talk about the Rams,

471
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: and I love that You're like, we do small talk

472
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: for two minutes, as if any wise guy has ever

473
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: done any small talk. Ever, there's no more socially awkward

474
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: group than wise guys. Well, this Rams are ten and

475
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: a half plus on the over. You said you're not

476
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: going to bet the Rams over. You're not convinced by

477
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: everything you're hearing from everybody, No, because I just like,

478
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: I like you'll you'll see a pattern here. I love

479
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: unders um. I just I feel comfortable any unders because

480
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: I just know the logic that as soon as I've

481
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: been under, I've already given myself above fIF percent chance

482
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: of that cash. And just because historically under has always

483
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: come through. But this is just one of those that, like,

484
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: I keep staring at it with that division, and I

485
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: know it's between them and the forty niners. One of

486
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: these teams is going to screw up. I don't want

487
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: to take either teams over, and I'm banking on the

488
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: forty Niners that team that screws up. So that's why

489
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm just taking their under while taking the Seahawks over.

490
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not touching Arizona. Wow, I feel so much

491
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: more strongly about the forty Niners and the Rams almost

492
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: like I feel like you and I might have to

493
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: have a little side action, and I'm loath to do this.

494
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't like to compete against you, be I feel

495
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: like you rub it in my face so much. If

496
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: you win and see you do this professionally and I

497
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: do it as like a clown, so uh, it can

498
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: end well for me. But there's something about the Niners

499
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: against the Rams that I just feel viscerally. I told

500
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: you chat that's my favorite part about this job, where

501
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: Anie Joe Schmill on the street can talk to me

502
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: about what I do. You couldn't go to a like

503
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: a hard surgeon or a brain doctor and be like, well, actually,

504
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: I think you're wrong. I think that's where you should

505
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: go in on the instant. But like, I'll never forget

506
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: this guy used to go to I used to buy

507
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: my dip. I used to go to this convenience store

508
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: at the time, and the guy was like, buddy, who

509
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: do you like this weekend? I tell him and he goes, oh,

510
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: so this is week one. He goes, forty Niners are

511
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: gonna kill Arizona. I go, all right, I'll give you.

512
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: I'll give you forty nine A plus money, but if

513
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: you're wrong, you can never ask me again for a bet.

514
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: And he goes, okay, of course, Arizona beats the forty

515
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: nine ers by like four or five points, and I goes, hey, man,

516
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: you're pretty good at this. He's like, you you do

517
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: it for a living. I was like, no, it's just

518
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: all luck, you know what I mean, because it's one

519
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: of those Unif I told him I did, he'd be like, well,

520
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: do you like this weekend? So it's that's that's the

521
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: hardest part of this job, Chatt. Even if I'm wrong,

522
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the one rubbing in my face, my friend.

523
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: All right. Uh. The way we did it last week,

524
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: which I liked, was we went through those teams at

525
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the top. Uh. The only difference this week is I

526
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: almost feel like you have to and again the Packers

527
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: are crossed out because I think the Packers are off

528
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: the board in a lot of places. Um. The only

529
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: other team that I do want to talk about that

530
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: is just under that double digits, and I feel like

531
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: we have to talk about him because of the Cowboys,

532
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to talk about the Cowboys. Uh, they're

533
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: at nine and a half in the Seahawks are at

534
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: night and a half. So do either of you have

535
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: strong opinions about the Seahawks or the Cowboys win totals?

536
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: Uh raheem, you start first things first. I am a

537
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan, even though I am from Philly, so I

538
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: know you guys are gonna disown me, especially Signment because

539
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: he's an Eagles fan. I'm going under, I think you

540
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: have an Asian offensive line. You have Mike McCarthy, who

541
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: was probably worth minus three wins. I mean, I know

542
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: he went to a little analytics seminar which tells him

543
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: that you gotta go for points on fourth and fifteen,

544
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: go for fake points on fourth and fifteen or whatever. Um.

545
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, this defense isn't good good, the offensive

546
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: line is aging. I'm going under I think you've got

547
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: a bump just because the offense is gonna be really

548
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: good and it's the Cowboys. But I don't I don't

549
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: like them in it that that division at all. Yeah.

550
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean I wish that could be meaner to Cowboys fans,

551
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: but they've been irrelevant for about twenty five years, so

552
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, I really can't ever talk

553
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: that bad to Cowboys fans, but bringing in on the

554
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: head every year, the easiest bet to make is just

555
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: bet the Cowboys under. It's a team that will always

556
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: be propped up because their fan base is so die

557
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: hard and so loyal. They're across the country, so even

558
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: in state to state, they're gonna be bet up regardless

559
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: of where you live. Every year, guys, you bet this

560
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: under and you bet them not to make the playoffs.

561
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: And it's I mean, what is the twenty five years.

562
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: If you've been doing it, you're up a lot of

563
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: money year to year. So it's just one of those

564
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: where it sounds very simple, but it's just the way

565
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: it is, the pressure, everything that goes to being with

566
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's not even that I dislike Dak. I

567
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: think he does everything he can to try to put

568
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: that team in his best position. It's just Jerry. He's

569
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: just the way he's drafted for them. Like they didn't

570
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: need another stud receiver, they had a great receiving corps,

571
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: but he couldn't help himself. You had to take a

572
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: receiver in the first round last year? Who are this

573
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: Kid's incredible? Their defense is by far the worst in football,

574
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: where they should just been drafting defensive players. So for me,

575
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, that will always be a fade. I don't

576
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: care that's up to seventeen games. It's just one of

577
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: those where I had them great out seven a half.

578
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I think I bumped them up to eight once I

579
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: went to seventeen games and it's still way under nine

580
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: and a half. But a team that no people are

581
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: talking about that is at nine wins are the Saints.

582
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a very intriguing that they're just sitting

583
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: there in nine wins and no one's really talking about

584
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: them when they lost Drew Brees, a guy who really,

585
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what did you really do for them last year?

586
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: He was kind of a ball control kind of quarterback.

587
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: Where I don't know if it's gonna be Winston, I

588
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know which quarterback will be starting if I have

589
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: enough faith when I look at paper at this team that, um,

590
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: I can't get over the amount of town they have

591
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: and they have a they have a head coach was

592
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame at coach. So when I'm looking

593
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: at team the nine wins with Sean Payne, I still

594
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: think that's a team that would definitely get the ten

595
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: wins and not not saying that the Buccaneers are getting

596
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: all the hype, but they are. And that's a team

597
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: that they lost them twice last year and now, like

598
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: Drew Bilees played out of his mind, that was simply

599
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: their defense dominated Brady and that offense. So looking at

600
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: win totals nine wins for the Saints we talked about

601
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: earlier the year too, chat I like them for best

602
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: record at I think it was thirty to one or

603
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: forty one. Just a really outside shot team that the

604
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: Saints aren't just gonna be getting talked about when people

605
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: aren't realizing they have all the pieces there. I think

606
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: that's a team that's really been slept on. Well, this

607
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: is one of those where quarterbacks mean everything in the NFL,

608
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: and we did get a little bit of a taste

609
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: of what the Saints could look like last year when

610
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees wasn't playing um and and they were you know,

611
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: they had that sort of that dual threat quarterback situation,

612
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: but so much press around him retiring that their value

613
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: is going to be a little bit depressed. Raheem, do

614
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with signing? I do agree. I

615
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: mean I think that Saints defense was just they were

616
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: a great defense, and I think they want in spite

617
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: of Drew Brees. Like Drew Brees, his arm was gone.

618
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: His arm has been gone for a couple of seasons.

619
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: So I think if you put Winston in there, you

620
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: always have the you have you have to worry about turnovers,

621
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: Like I mean, this guy had a thirty thirty season,

622
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns, thirty interceptions. He's like, I don't know if

623
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: there's anything to compare Winston too. It's just like he's

624
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: like a doctor who could just, you know, give you

625
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: the greatest surgery ever, but you have a fifty percent

626
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: chance of dying. He can give you that's fucking brilliant.

627
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: He can he can perform the greatest surgery ever. He

628
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: might leave a knife behind and he will die of

629
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: an infection, but the actual, sir, jury will have been amazing. Yeah.

630
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: So I mean I think that's that's that's pretty much

631
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: what it is with Winston now tastes them. I think

632
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with Tassom because I just he gives

633
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: you that duel threat ability and as crazy as it sounds,

634
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: I think he's worth a flyer for m v P

635
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: because that Saints defense is gonna be good and if

636
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: they can get you know, a decent amount of wins

637
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: at like a hundred to one, what's throwing a hundred

638
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: bucks on there. Yeah, that's something we talked about. We said,

639
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: he's still plus two twenty to be a week one starter,

640
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: Taysom Hills. So I'm right there with him. I I

641
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: think he's We've just seen the way the NFL has

642
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: shifted to the running quarterbacks. Do we have more running

643
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: quarterbacks we've ever had in our lifetime? And I mean

644
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payne's on o G Like that guy when he

645
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: got kicked out the league, he went and coaches like

646
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: kids football team said they were terrible. I think they

647
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: went like undefeated backs back years and like it's just

648
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: one of these things where it's like, I love this guy.

649
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: I love he loves football so much. I can only

650
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: think about the stuff he's been cooking up getting ready

651
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: for this season. So again, nine wins at a seventeen

652
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: people nine and eight, that's a push, Like, I just

653
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: think that's crazy good value on the Saints. Well, let

654
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: me ask you this. Uh you're saying the Saints, you

655
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: you actively proactively mentioned them at nine wins? Are they

656
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: your favorite uh wind total bet either over or under

657
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: for the NFC. I've definitely bet this a lot. Like

658
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: I I'm trying to chill out because I'm like, why,

659
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: like I have wait, we all wake up in the

660
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: middle of night, I'm like, oh my god, Winston's starting.

661
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: Like I I know, all of a sudden, I'm gonna

662
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: have way too much money tied up in a Saints

663
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: team with James starting, because I've been there, I've dranken

664
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: the kool aid on Jamis and uh, I don't want

665
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: to experience that again. So anyone betting this, you have

666
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: to bet it um knowing there's a little bit of

667
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: risk involved in these bets. Again, that's why I like.

668
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: I like their best record. I feel like it's a

669
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: really good value bet for this team because I don't

670
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: want to say they had the least amount of drama,

671
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: But these teams at the top from last year, like

672
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: we already talked about Green Bay, there's just there's a

673
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of teams have a lot of stuff going on

674
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: where I just feel like the Saints are this team

675
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: that's really flying under the radar this year, and that's

676
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: what you want the betting and football. You want teams

677
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: that no one's talking about. The Eagles dream team. I

678
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: don't think they won five games, like you just don't

679
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: want to be talked about football. That's just kind of

680
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: what you look for. You didn't answer my question. It's

681
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: it's not my favorite bet, so give me your favorite.

682
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: All right, it's gonna, it's gonna. It's it's moved already.

683
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: That that's the problem. So basically, your favorite bet was

684
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: the under Texans four wins, which is like, hey, grab

685
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: your balls and just not up bet. So can it

686
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: be worse than that? I mean, I could give you

687
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: even worse because I did love I did love Detroit

688
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: under five. Detroit opened under five and outsounded four and

689
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: a half, so it's still good value. But in no

690
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: world is Detroit getting over five wins this year like

691
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: again them in Houston. There are openly tanking this year.

692
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: Both teams are tanking like they. I know, Campbell, the

693
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: coach of Detroit, can give all these Ray Ross speeches

694
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: and talk about eating people's legs. They're tanking. This is

695
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible team. So that is one of my

696
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: favorite bets. But like you said, that's not that fun, Chad.

697
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: What is more fun? This year than bet in Chicago

698
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: Bears over seven and a half. You love it, I

699
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: hate it. It's fun. Okay, for some reason, my my

700
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: system had a great at eight point one win. So yeah,

701
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: just because your division, your division is so bad where

702
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: I had them splitting with the Vikings, I had them

703
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: splitting somehow with Green Bay, and I have them sweep

704
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: in Detroit. So they're one of these teams. They might

705
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: not do great outside your division, but they're gonna play

706
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: well in the division. There. It is the babblehead reminder reminder.

707
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Thank you to daveck in the Chicago Bears, who sent

708
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,400

710

711
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: video I watch, which means every off season video that's

712
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: been created about Justin Fields. UH. That's basically all my

713
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: younger son and I do right now. We watched the

714
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: NBA on TV and during commercials or on nights when

715
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: there isn't n b A, we're just strolling through watching

716
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: Justin fields highlights. UM. So excited for Justin Fields UH

717
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: and his performance so excited for what the Bears can

718
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: possibly be, so ready to go all in on the Bears.

719
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: Over seven, come on, over seven and a half. We

720
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: got we got two wins easy against the Lions. They

721
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: are going seven and ten, Come on, come on eight

722
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: and nine, and is seventeen game season. That doesn't feel crazy. No,

723
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel crazy at all. But is so, is

724
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: this what you're saying to me? Is this what you're

725
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: saying to me right now? That your math and my

726
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: emotions are actually meeting in some kind of you know,

727
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: kids met like point of confluence that is both beautiful

728
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: and insane and we're too crazy kids in love with

729
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: the same thing. Right now, you're basically in the rapportunity

730
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: where the public is off the Bears that everyone everyone

731
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: kind of thinks the Bears are a joke. So this

732
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: this total has come down. That's why I think we're

733
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: getting great value, your buddy. So it's Bear Chicago Bears.

734
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: It's the rare opportunity where we're not going to Joe

735
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: public taking the Bears because I know you've seen the

736
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: numbers Illinois there like second, they're like the New Vegas

737
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: there their Betty handle. There's insane it's Illinois. It's not Illinois.

738
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: It's Illinois. That's the east coast than me. Do we

739
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: call it Illinois? Not for nothing? By the way, not

740
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: for nothing. The New York Times had a story about

741
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: the way the city of Chicago was constructed three years ago,

742
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: and how they built the buildings in Chicago a hundred

743
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: and fifty years ago, and the way that they reflowed

744
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: the direction of the Chicago River away from Lake Michigan

745
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: to keep sewage out of Lake Michigan since that was

746
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: where the fresh drinking water is and the hubris entailed

747
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: in the part of the city planners, and I'm interpreting

748
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: it this way. Two, I think they can redirect Mother

749
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: Nature to work in their favor. And it's all a

750
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: ship show right now with global warming and the different

751
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: levels of water rising in the lake versus the river

752
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: and the lock system they've had to create eight and

753
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: the billions and billions of dollars necessary to try to

754
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: now control what they know they can't control, which is

755
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Mother nature and the way it impacts the sewerge system

756
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Uh. I don't know if this city is

757
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna survive, but it's an amazing stury in the New

758
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: York Times. We should all read it. Raheem. I'm assuming

759
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: we can get back to, you know, the frivolous nature

760
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: of our lives. You're not loving the Chicago Bears the

761
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: same way we do, so please give me your best

762
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: season win total bet for the NFC. It's moved a

763
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: little bit, but I like the Washington football team over

764
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: eight eight and a half wins. I like to handicap

765
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: games from the trenches. That's what matters. You know, this

766
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: team had forty eight sacks last year. They had Chase Young, Montes,

767
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: sweat around um pain, Jonathan Island. You know, this is

768
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive lines in the league. And

769
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: this team is gonna improve my offense. Like I mean,

770
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: last year they had the quarterback Carrisau of Duayenne Haskins,

771
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Kyle Allen, and then you know Taylor Hennike

772
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: came in and you know he had he was a

773
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: spark plug. But those first three, you know, they weren't

774
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: giving you anything. So this team is gonna be better offensively.

775
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: They signed Curtis Samuel from UM Carolina. Terry McLaurin is

776
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: still one of the best wide receivers in the league.

777
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: I think if Fitzpatrick gives you gives you anything, they

778
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: go over to total. And I think this is a

779
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl team. Um, as crazy as it sounds, I

780
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: just think they have too much talent on the defensive

781
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Offensively, they're getting better, and you know,

782
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: they added two corners, they added William Jackson, and then

783
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: they um drafted to God Jamming. So I really really

784
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: really liked his defense, and I think the offense is

785
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: enough to made enough of an improvement to where they

786
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: should win his division. Listen to me. I love what

787
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: you're saying. I am in a hundred percent agreement. I

788
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: would be shocked if Ryan Fitzpatrick is a guy who

789
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: takes a team to a Super Bowl victory. But I

790
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: love the over this defensive line, This front four could

791
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: be historically great. Uh. And I think if you're going

792
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: to get a defensive line that is that good. Um. Look,

793
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: they almost beat the box on the way to the

794
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: super Bowl, like you said, with a quarterback that nobody

795
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: had ever heard of, who probably uh should have been

796
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, studying for his master So by all means,

797
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: I am I am here for this bet Simon. Yeah, Chad,

798
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: you know We're already locked in. We did our Super

799
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: Bowl futures in February. This is one of the teams

800
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: that I made you put way too much money on

801
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: that didn't get Watson. Like I told you, they're gonna

802
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: get Watson. But like you said, I know the whole

803
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: fits thing um, But I will keep going back into

804
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: it until they get knocked out of playoffs or don't

805
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. This Washington team is that Denver team

806
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: two point out that had Von Miller where Peyton Manny

807
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: had a dead arm, he couldn't throw the ball or

808
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: further than fifteen yards. But all you had was just

809
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: like incredibly dominant defense with offensive weapons around it. And

810
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what I have here in Washington. We

811
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: have a team with a ton of weapons on offense.

812
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: Gibson great running back, like you said, McLaren great receiver,

813
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: and that defensive lineman. You literally will not find a

814
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: better defense line of football this year. So this is

815
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: this is a Chase young Bett, but me and Chad

816
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: I guess for him too. We are all in on

817
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: Washington football team. I'm a true story about Ryan Fitzpatrick.

818
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: He actually went to Harvard around the same time that

819
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: I went to Penn and he is single handedly the

820
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: reason why my friends don't have an IVY League championship, right.

821
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: I saw him play back then, and he just dugged

822
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: us out, And you know, I never thought that he

823
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: would be here so crazy. I like when someone from

824
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: the the leagues can come on to this podcast and

825
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: just in a very humble, braggy way, remind us they

826
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: went to an IVY League school. Simon was fucking working

827
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: on Jersey Shore when he was supposed to be in college.

828
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: I went to Indiana, which like whatever, it's the Cream

829
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: and Crimson of the Midwest. And Raheem comes in and

830
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: he's dropping Penn, you know, forty minutes into the show

831
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: and not even in a relevant way. Hey, Ryan Fitzpatrick

832
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: went to Harvard at the same time that I went

833
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: to Penn, so you know I saw him play. That's

834
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: basically what is Guess what. I didn't go to Penn

835
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: or Harvard, and I've seen Ryan Fitzpatrick played too. I'm

836
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: just I mean, I'm a little I've always been a

837
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: little bit better, just because I wanted my friends to

838
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: get that IVY League rank, and you know, he he

839
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: pulled it off. So, by the way, noticed Simon how

840
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: he's now saying, my friends who are on the football team,

841
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm really I just feel bad for them. Rahems lived

842
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: that life, man, Raheems lived that. I mean I was.

843
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: I was the DJ of like so I was like

844
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: one of the most popular people on campus. Of course,

845
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: I just forget that. Raheem had an incredibly cool life

846
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: before we convinced him to join the Action Network. And

847
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, my life is cooler now. It's so much

848
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: cooler now. You gotta understand, like, two weeks into this job,

849
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: you had people send me a cam quarter with lighting

850
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: and then told me that I would be doing broadcasts

851
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: on NBA League Pass. That's true. I gave you so

852
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: oh my god, you should love me. I've given you

853
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: so many big opportunities. Um, I do. But but still

854
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: is that cooler than being on tour as a DJ? Yeah?

855
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, maybe I'm just old. Like we

856
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: had this conversation before the podcast about how you get

857
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: older and you kind of like you've seen everything. Touring

858
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: gets old as crazy as it's like, I mean, because

859
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: it's just plus I make more money betting well, But look,

860
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: I would agree traveling gets so generally when I was,

861
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: you know, throughout my thirties or my twenties, and I

862
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: got out of college and I was working at Sports

863
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: Illustrator and working at ESPN. You're traveling constantly. You're at

864
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: the most glamorous places in the world, right because you're

865
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: covering Super Bowls, You're covering the NFL, You're covering the

866
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, you're coming the US Open, you're coming to the

867
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: the Olympics, whatever. Um. But a lot of it is

868
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: you're trudging through an airport with a laptop, you're on

869
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: deadline on a plane, you're staying in a hotel, getting

870
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: in at two am and having to be out of

871
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: the room by eight am, and if you're shuttling from

872
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: one facility to another. Like, there's a lot of fun

873
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: to it, but it also becomes very sort of wrote

874
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: and and the glamour isn't as great as you would think. Yeah, Like,

875
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. Imagine when you're twenty and

876
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: you're twenty five, your DJing for people your age, or

877
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: when you're nineteen you djam for people your age. Imagine

878
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: being thirty five and you you have to be around

879
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of twenty one year olds and your your

880
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: job is to entertain them. It's not as glamorous as

881
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: it seems. When people your age have aged out of

882
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: coming to see you, sounds like fucking parenting. That's exactly

883
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: what it is, except instead of like playing you know,

884
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: all right, sit down and listen to this Bernie record,

885
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: you're like telling him to listen to some music that

886
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: you might not even like anymore exactly. And that's that's

887
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: why what happened to me. I feel terrible hanging out

888
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: friends who are married or have kids, Like they asked

889
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: me what I'm up to when I tell them about

890
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: my life, and I feel like I'm rubbing in their face.

891
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: I just have a life where it's like, what are

892
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: you guys up to? It's like, oh, the kids reversed

893
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: sleeping and we haven't slepping about four months, and it's

894
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, I gotta get out of here. Yeah,

895
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: by the way, not for nothing. If Raheem's gonna get it,

896
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: so are you. You're the guy who we've been through

897
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: four months talking about how sad you are and how

898
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: you're so in love and how love means everything, and

899
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: now you've got to figure out how to have a

900
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: life without love. Or fine, love so you can have

901
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: kids one day. Come on, so, oh wait, you got

902
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: rid of the girl you were talking to a couple

903
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: of months ago. By the way, before you answer this question,

904
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: let's frame this in the right way. We don't get

905
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: rid of women we are having and sometimes they may

906
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: choose to be with us, and oftentimes they may choose

907
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: to not be with us. Let's frame it in the

908
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: appropriate way that you're you're right, I'm I'm dead wrong, Yeah,

909
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: dead wrong. I would try to move on and I

910
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: failed miserably, and I was just like, I mnna take

911
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: a break, and then, of course, like every X does,

912
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: she hit me up. Now I can't get rid of

913
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: her again. We're not getting back together. I don't want

914
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: to say, because you listened to our show, So I'm

915
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: not gonna say too much because then she knows what

916
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm up to. But yeah, who knows, dude. It's like

917
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: you know when you like you should move on, but

918
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: you don't want to. I think we're both in that

919
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: stage of life where it's like it's not gonna work.

920
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: We know it's not gonna work, but we can't leave

921
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: each other alone. But like I'm hoping once football comes

922
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: I can just she'll get rid of me. I'll get

923
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: rid of her because I'll just be able to just

924
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: spend time on football. Because right now, like Chad said,

925
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: I just have way too much free time. That's what's

926
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 1: that's the problem right now. It's like I need structure.

927
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: That's what Chad's great for. I bring structure, and I

928
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: will touch you in the middle of the game and

929
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: say we need to get on the phone right away,

930
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: even when you know your heart is on the line,

931
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: which you're a very sensitive on little person, so your

932
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: heart is often on the line. Yeah right, I'm I'm

933
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 1: the most robotic person everywhere comes to gambling. But love

934
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: and life, yes, I'm very much, really emotional. That's why

Speaker 1: you just want that one person to build a life with.

948
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,879

949
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: tell them that the Washington football team probably gonna have

950
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: to get over eight. We're gonna tell about the Bears

951
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: over seven and a half. We're gonna tell him about

952

Speaker 1: Niners under ten and a half. I guess, and that's

954
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,439
Speaker 1: pretty much it. Maybe we'll tell him about the Rams
