I wasn't there. 178 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: If you were there, I think just the memory would 179 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: be enough. But I've been you know, I've been to 180 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 3: World series that have ended. I've seen teams win world series. 181 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: I'm not I've never been to a Super Bowl. I've 182 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 3: been to the Pro Bowl, I've been NBA Finals. I've 183 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: seen team win team.

But it's like 188 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 3: the memory to me, that's more important, like the actual memory, 189 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: but if you want a little little piece of it. 190 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: But you're going to these things now more than the reason. 191 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: I wanted the real grass out on the field at Allegiance. 192 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 4: I wanted to dive in the end zone and pretend 193 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: like I was Davante Adams. 194 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: I wanted to see what it feels like. 195 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: But you could still get that. You could see like 196 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: the stands, you you could take advantage of that opportunity. Yeah, 197 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: it's that's one of the cool things about this job. 198 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 3: I've been able to like get on the field that 199 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 3: like fin Way and yet old Yankee Stadium and kind 200 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: of get the vibe like what it's like for the 201 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: players when you look around.

Although I couldn't bring him to this city. 252 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 4: And here's the reason why Las Vegas as fun as 253 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 4: it can be, it is one of the dirtiest cities 254 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: in our country with germs. This is they call this 255 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 4: the unofficial COVID capital of the world. Now, my parents, 256 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 4: my dad and stepma, they came here probably about six 257 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: months after the pandemic. Yeah, and they hadn't had COVID 258 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 4: until they visited Las Vegas. They left with COVID and 259 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: then another family member came to Vegas about three four 260 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 4: months after that. 261 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: They left Vegas with COVID. 262 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 4: It made me scared to come here for some of 263 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 4: the boxing matches that we cover with Covino and Rich 264 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: because I'm like, damn, I don't want COVID right now. 265 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: Well, you don't want to really run it, buddy, if 266 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 3: you know. 267 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 4: What places to stay away from, because you might get 268 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: COVID going there. This is definitely there's because there's a 269 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 4: lot of people from everywhere all over the world come 270 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 4: here to Las Vegas to have a good time. They 271 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 4: smoke right in your face, they get right in your face, 272 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 4: and there's tons of people elbow to elbow, and I 273 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: think that's one of the reasons why people get so 274 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: sick sometimes when they yeah. 275 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: For me, though, I come to Vegas a lot because 276 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: it's so close and in fact, I'll be back in 277 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks for my wife's got some friends. 278 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 3: We're having a like a birthday celebration and stuff.

But to me, the dirtiest places I've been 283 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: are the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, which is like 284 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 3: an apocalypse film. And parts of New York City in 285 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: the afternoon in the summer when they put the trash 286 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: out to get picked up, and you can smell the 287 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: rotting food and you can see the rats running around 288 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: eating the food out of the trash. It's disgusting. I 289 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: haven't been to New Orleans. I've heard mixed things about 290 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: New Orleans. 291 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: So people love it. 292 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: Other people say there's some dirty streets there. I've been 293 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: there a couple of times.

So it was the Lakers and then 455 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: the Raiders for me. 456 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: So I did not have that. I had the Dodgers 457 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. 458 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: I was young, and I remember the Dodgers won the 459 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 3: World Series in the eighties. But then I didn't count 460 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 3: the Saint Louis Rams because I stopped being a Ram 461 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 3: fan when they were in Saint Louis because I was 462 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: a fan of the La Rams, So I said, who 463 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: cares about that? So then I but the Dodgers were 464 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 3: the one, and then I saw them or the La 465 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: Rams actually win here just a couple of years ago. 466 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 5: I was too little to what was it eighty one 467 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 5: for the Dodgers. 468 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I was too for the Yankees, right, 469 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 4: and so I would have been like kindergarten. So that's 470 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 4: why a few years later when the Lakers won, I 471 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 4: remember that so distinctly.

But yeah, I don't 501 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 3: give that a lot of that stuff out because I 502 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 3: actually want people to watch the show.

I've enjoyed listening to the breakdown of 510 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 3: games and the predictions over the years, well before you 511 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: went Hollywood on us and good old Danny g played 512 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: the role of the penny. What I find most intriguing 513 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 3: is when Ben states the betting odds, followed by a 514 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 3: brief moment of malor math and the percentages. For people 515 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: like me who can't understand how to make the calculation, Ben, 516 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: can you please explain how you come up with the 517 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: percentage based on the betting odds when making your predictions. 518 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 3: Looking forward to what you're cooking up for the super 519 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 3: Bowl feast this week and enjoy the Super bowls Marcus 520 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 3: in San Antonio. So so, yeah, the way the odds 521 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 3: work there, there is a little bit of math. I 522 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: learned this years ago. It's basically, it's the gambling. I 523 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 3: was either like minus or plus so and you do 524 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 3: it like if it's if it's plus two hundred, that 525 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 3: would mean there's like a thirty something percent chance I'm lost. 526 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: It's it's based on the percentages. And I'm not gonna lie. 527 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: I do use a calculator, so it's not like I 528 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 3: I you know, I could lie and say, it's all 529 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 3: on my head. 530 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: But that's that is not. 531 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 5: One of the reasons you still wear a calculator watch. 532 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: Yes, I have a big, giant calculator for sure, al Cassio, 533 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: But thank you, Marcus. I appreciate that, and I do 534 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 3: enjoy the odds. You know what I like the most 535 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 3: is looking where people are betting, trying to find where 536 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: the sharp money is because that's where the professional gamblers are. 537 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: That why I thought you mean you followed strangers around 538 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 5: those sports. 539 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: But name it's named Sharp.
