0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>They have done such an amazing job. We've had incredible

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>guests for less than a year. I keep saying that,

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>but I can't believe it's been less than a year.

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>And then of course everyone at bet MGM has been wonderful.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>So we're just so excited. This may be the most

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>excited I've ever been for a show. Two just started

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's already lining up to be one of the

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>best years in sports we've ever scene. I'm not just

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>saying that because my dog's just won the Natty, or

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that I think my Packers will win the Super Bowl.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about that in a little bit. But

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>plus some NBA Clay Thompson's amazing return. There's a lot

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>this week, but this year is made all the better,

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>no pun intended by the fact that sports betting is

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>finally legal in New York. Bet MGM is launching this week.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Start spreading the news. You're gonna take it away in

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>New York. I don't know the rest of the words

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for the song, but I know it's it's competing with

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Frank Sinatra to become the anthem of New York. It's

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>really I mean, last time I ask you to sing, yeah,

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. I mean, I you know, like some

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>people have zero talent for something, I have a negative

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>ability for singing or really anything else in life. So

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>don't ask me to do anything else except wing it.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>All I'm good at is winging it. Okay, okay for

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a man. So Mike, you cannot carry it tune, No,

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I cannot. I cannot you That would actually be a

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>good punishment pick at the end if I lost, if

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you just made me sing yeah, Well, what do you think?

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Honest New York betting? It seems like this is going

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to be, you know, monstrous. This is great for New York.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>This is great. Now we don't have to hide it anymore.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>We could talk about hand the open. We can go

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>get an egg and cheese and be like, did you

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>hit your ova under? I got a pole yesterday? You

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? You can talk about it over slices.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>We can have our phones out and we can make

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a little money. Thank god, we can do it out

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>in the open like everybody else. This is sweeping the nation.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Gambling is taken over. Baby, it's fun. Make a little scratch.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're spreading faster than covid. God, should that

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>be the byeline? Is that the marketing plan for betting? Yeah?

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not again, I said, the only thing I'm good

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>at his wing and I'm not good at marketing, so

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that we gotta hire. Yeah, that's not my strong suit.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>You're good at one liners too. You're always keeping me

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>on my toes. Hey, another celebration, A big win is

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>my alma mater. You g a baby winning Monday Night

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>beating Nick Saban. Finally, how about them dogs? I gotta

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>teach you a couple of you gisms here. What we

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>say is you say how about them dogs? And that's

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>just like how you say hello, and then you can

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>also say just go dog sick them. Oh that was

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>going to hear one of those that was on par

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>with dan Orlovsky's. That was a really horrible dog park.

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, how about them dogs? What you gotta do it.

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you have to do with like a Southern accident?

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>How about damn dogs? Y'all? Yeas, like if you're you're

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>filling up your car at the gas station, someone walks by, Hey,

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>how you doing? How about them dogs? How about them dogs?

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But while you were on campus, it was probably a

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit more of just like a drunken you guys

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>used to get lit up. Georgia is a party school,

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>bit is it is? Speaking of partying? Did you see

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks that's in Bennett on g M A the

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>morning after the game. Look, I watched the game. I

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>watched it. It was an incredible, incredible sports experience, and

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.919
<v Speaker 1>that that guy was a walk on and he was

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>dreaming his whole life about playing for Georgia and then

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to win a national title. I myself from a former

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>walk on who didn't make it. Okay, all right. I

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you remember the history, but I tried

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to walk on at the American University and I didn't

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>make it. So I feel like he made it for

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>all us walk on. Yeah. I started a slow, rudy

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.559
<v Speaker 1>clap in my living room for him, and a tear

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>dropped down my face and I saluted the flag. I

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>got goose bumps everywhere. You did it for all of

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>us under dogs out there. Congratulations to Olivia, the Bulldogs

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and Mr Walker. What was his name? Steltson Stiltonson Bennett,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Stetson Bennett, who couldn't be more of a white name.

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that name is so white it hurts my back.

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>I think I just threw my back out saying that,

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>well he was. He is like the Harold now for

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>all walk Ons. And not only did he walk on

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>at U g A, they kept bringing in all these

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>big recruits at quarterback and pushing him further and further

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>down the depth chart. The guy had a switch to

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a Juico school. He transferred to Juco, played a season

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>in Juco, came back to Hugh g A, got a scholarship,

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>still buried on the depth chart, and worked his way up.

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, it's an incredible story. But what I

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>was referencing earlier is he must have had himself a

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>night as he well should have, and he's graduating. He's done.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>He's not an NFL guy like this is it for

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>old Stetson Bennett. And I think he was still sipping

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 1>on some Southern comfort in the wee hours of the

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>morning for his g m A appearance. Let's roll in

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that tape that was too good. Good morning, my friend.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>How you feeling this morning after that incredible performance last night?

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Have you had a chance to get any sleep? You know,

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>a few hours? Not many I've been wondering about. Yeah, no,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>not many. Honest, I hope you're in that kind of

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>shape when we get in l A for the Super Bowl,

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>because I'm going to request some kind of really early

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>morning recording after our first night in town. What do

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you think I want? I want to hear you steps

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and bennetting your way through a recording. Well, you can

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>do that right now because we're recording pretty early for us,

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm half a cup of coffee in

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, having a baby is like drinking. You know,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that's like that's like a responsible parent. That's the same

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>thing it does to you. It's like you're hungover every morning,

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, puffy eyes. I don't know where which direction

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>is which. I feel like I'm actually drunk every day,

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>chasing a toddler around, making sure she doesn't drink bleach. See,

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that's why I want a night nurse and an esthetician

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to move into my house. I want those two things,

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>so I constantly have a facial every morning. All right,

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>enough of this nonsense. Yeah, I mean being apparent. You

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>almost feel like a free safety. You feel like a safety,

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>like you're just wherever she goes. It's like wherever the ball,

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you just go. And just like I tackle her before

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>she she jumps into toilet or she you know, it's

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>just it's I need to be I need to win

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Defensive Player of the Year because I have stopped a

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of offensive threats from her to run outside or

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>fall into the toilet. So yeah, I got a great

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>game plan. And that's great parenting advice in terms that

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand. So thank you very much. Enough of this

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>swaddling nonsense. Don't tell me all this stuff I don't know.

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell me in football terms, Speaking of which, we've got

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot to get to. The NFL playoffs kick off

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>this weekend with the Super wild Card weekend. That means

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 1>each conference gets three wild card teams. You know, it

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>used to be too, so this is a big deal.

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It's all very exciting. We'll talk to bet MGMs Peter

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Andrew about all six games I'm actually going to be

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 1>on the sidelines for Steelers at Kansas City on the

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>national radio broadcast if you want to tune into Westwood one.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for that one. Big Ben's career is continuing.

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>As the Steelers managed to get into the playoffs, they

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>get at least one more game. All the pieces fell

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>into place, and the Raiders pulled off one of the

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>most exciting wins in NFL history to keep their a

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 1>f C West Division rivals, the Chargers out. So we're

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk all about that wild Week eight team finish

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>in a second. Plus. Coming up, we've got a great

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>guest from CBS Sports and you know him from the

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>w w E. Jonathan Coachman. He's got some great stories

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>from his time there. Can't wait to pick his brain.

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.559
<v Speaker 1>W w E is always fun to dissect. And by

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, before we get to this week's Unleashed Janice,

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you're unleashed from last week? Did come true? You out

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>what you wanted, my friend, The New York Football Giants

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:07.359
<v Speaker 1>listened to your demands and Joe Judge is out. Yeah,

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean there was rumors he was gonna stay. He

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>was acting confident like he was gonna stay and they

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>were gonna fire everybody else. But it looks like they're

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>cleaning house. It looks like we're wiping out everybody. It's

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>just a whack job. It's like the end of Good Fellas.

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You just gotta walk people in the room, you know,

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and just bang back in the head, bullets into the

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>back of the head, and we start fresh. So you

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta blow it up. You gotta blow it up. And

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I hope they get a quarterback in the draft or

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, everyone's saying what they do, they gotta get

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>a line. I mean, they gotta work. I've realized now

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've been watching so much football this year, everything

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>is really the offensive line. Without an offensive line, you

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>can't do anything. You can't run the ball effectively, you

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>can't pass the ball effectively. You don't even need great

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>receivers because if your offensive line holds holds the line

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>long enough, one of those guys will get open. I

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>don't care for me out there. Get the quarterback seconds

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.319
<v Speaker 1>you'll be able to find me. So the Giants, it's

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the same old story. Just draft offensive lineman who cares

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and bring Doug Flutie back to play quarterback. It doesn't matter.

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>We need an old line, baby, well, so here's the

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>hot question then, because there are not a lot of

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>great quarterbacks in this year's draft at all, so you're

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of having to get the free agency market, which

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 1>could be Russell Wilson. It could be a hate to say,

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, but neither one of those guys are going

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>to New York. Who do you want as your quarterback?

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>And who would you want as your head coach? Russell Wilson,

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that's the r That's what every New Yorker is hoping for.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, Paul Versey, who we had on this show,

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>he acts like he works in the front office and

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the Giants. He's like, we don't need to draft a

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterback because Russell Wilson's coming. I'm like, you know, And

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he does that with everything, like he was like Lebron's

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>coming to New York, and then k D's coming to

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>New York, and now it's Russell Wilson's definitely coming to

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, it's like, dude, you don't work in the

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>front office. Okay, every time you say something, it doesn't happen.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I hope he comes. He's thirty three, he's still got

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good football, So I hope it's him.

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Obviously it's not gonna be Rogers, I don't think. But

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>hopefully it's him, Yeah, I mean you said it. Hopefully

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson cup. Hopefully Sierra wants to come to New

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.839
<v Speaker 1>York and you know, just for her, Yeah, yeah, good

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>business move for her. So you know, I hope they

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>recruit her. I hope the Giants get on the couch

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>just like they did when they recruit, you know, coming

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>out of high school and they say, hey, guys, look

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 1>we can get you in this restaurant, we can get

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>you in this club. You know. Just that's the way

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you gotta pitch stars like that. It's like, look, bum

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.839
<v Speaker 1>bum bum, we give you this. You get you get

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to go to the Cirque, you get to go to

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>mckeens steakhouse. Whatever they gotta do to pitch them, even

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>if it's a little money under the table, we'll look

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the other way. Yeah, you know, it's an NFL, right,

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you can you don't have to put the money under

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the table. This can be all right in front of you.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know, I'm Aaron Rodgers. If he's not

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>returning to Green Bay, which would be horrible. I think

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that'd be a huge gaff for the Packers. But if

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't return to Green Bay, I bet he goes

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to Denver. Remember, see Layers are looking for a quarterback.

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be an interesting quarterback market in a

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>horrible year. Why couldn't this have been last year, right

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>when all these quarterbacks are taken in the first round. Anyways,

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of coaches were fired on Black Monday, Joe

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Judge being one of them. I have an uncle who's

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>actually an NFL coaches agent. In this time of year

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>for him, oh my gosh, from Thanksgiving when the college

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>football firing start right now, it's bleak, my friend, it

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>is dark, and I feel for all the agents out

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>there because it's uh, it's not fun being on the phone.

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>He lives on the phone. It's like such a stereotype. Anyways,

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you know who had a bad week who was not

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a fired NFL coach? I think you're about to tell

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>me about our bad beat of the week, Brad beat

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:52.160

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>most loyal followers. We see him all the time on Twitter.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>It's Woades. He had a seven team parlay let down

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>by the Cardinals. Even in the forty niners, how to

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>come back? When to keep him in it? But no, sorry, Wads,

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but our gift to you is one hundred dollars site

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.560

<v Speaker 1>And for all of you listeners, this could be you

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.319

<v Speaker 1>bad beat and you could win. We announced every week

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>on the show. So that's a big deal, hundred big ones.

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I just I'd like just an envelope in the mail

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.960

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>love it. I love it. It's like the last scene

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in Saving Private Ryan, like, look, you lost, but listen,

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>we gave you this. Make it worth it. Make it

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>worth it. Make that hundred bucks worth the sacrifice, the

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>loss that you had. Make it worth it guy, right now. Absolutely,

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the show, we're gonna have

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk with Peter Andrew. If you did have a

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks sitting there burning a hole in your pocket,

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>who you should bet on. So that's gonna be fun

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>at the end. Okay, let's keep it moving and sound

0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>off on one topic we feel passionately about their week. Honest,

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it's time to unleagal. It's let's unleash my girl. Hats

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>off to the n F freaking l fans and even

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>players were not sold on an eighteen week regular season. Well,

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I for one, I'm sold. That was such an incredible

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>finale to an incredible season. In a quick tangent, this

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>is why college football needs an expanded playoff in more parody.

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>If there's a way to replicate the steaks and the

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>chaos of the NFL at the college level, I'm all

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>for it. Down to the wire, so many teams were

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>still alive for the playoffs, so many games mattered. You

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>could not have scripted it any better that final Sunday.

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>It was incredible as we watched it all unfold. First Jaguars,

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 1>they absolutely shocked the Colts, which it left the door

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>open for the Steelers. More on that, I kind of

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>felt bad for the Colts, I gotta say. And the

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>second I said that, my husband was like, what, No,

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you can't feel bad for a team, and there's no

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>excuse to lose for the Jaguars. But I don't know

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>culture a good story this season. He's yea. It was

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>like you're cold hearted, I you know, hard knocks, and

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 1>they had won all those games and Jonathan Taylor and

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>then Carson Wentz just looked horrible. So now that's going

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to be his storyline. The Colts lost a draft pick

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>by getting Carson, so that their futures looking bleak, and

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars, good for them, I guess, I mean they

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 1>are going to get the number one pick in the draft.

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Lawrence finished the season really good. He he looked

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>great on Sunday, so Jaguars have a lot to be

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>happy about. Okay, But then we saw Big Ben in

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>what could have meant his last raw. You know, they

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>had the home game where he paraded around the field

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>as a big deal. ESPN was super awkward about it,

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>being like this may be his last game. We're not sure,

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, because he hasn't officially said that. It's more

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>like implied anyway. So then he had a road game.

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>They win, They beat the Ravens uh in overtime. I mean,

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it was incredible. We saw t J. Watt tied the

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>single season sack record and lock up to Fensive Player

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. That was really fun to watch. But

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Steelers Nation wasn't officially in yet, so even with this win,

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>one more thing still had to happen. Honest, I told

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you this was good. That takes us to the final

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>game of the season Sunday night in Sin City. Yes,

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I wrote that myself, incredible alliteration. The fate of three

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>teams were in the hands of two coaches. Many thought

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>they should just take any play to a tie at midfield.

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 1>It was like a standoff, and they almost did it

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>was it was theater after everything the Raiders have been

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>through this season, with the Henry Ruggs car crash, the

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>John Gruden scandal, an interim coach, Derek Carr, a quarterback

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>many people have doubted. Went down to the final seconds

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and they did it on the foot of Daniel Carlson.

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Raiders end the awkward standoff and kicked the Chargers out

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of the playoff picture. Forget Succession, forget yellow Stone. This

0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>was the most dramatic Sunday Night of television I've ever seen.

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 1>It was incredible. As an NFL fan, I was salivating.

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Congrats NFL on an amazing season and an amazing eighteenth

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>week first time ever with this expanded schedule, setting up

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:18.640
<v Speaker 1>a great playoff. Unbelievable action. Unbelievable action. Like you said,

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 1>they almost did play to a tie. Who knows that

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 1>time out it's not called. Maybe they just run it

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>out and that's it and they don't go and Big

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben has to limp off into the sunset because yeah,

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the kids, the kids, the kids got a lot of

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>miles on them. And yes, oh god, Carson wentz again again.

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like you wanted, you wanted the cults to

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>have nick falls there to get them in there. Carson wentz. Yeah,

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>disappointment again. You know, he's trying to redeem himself. Well

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>not really, he got injured, but I'm just saying, like,

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, just you know, to redeem himself as the

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>number one guy. It doesn't work out. It's rough, but

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 1>what a game that was. It was unbelievable to watch.

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.880
<v Speaker 1>And I've never i mean fourth down conversions. I mean,

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about this kid, huh throwing rus twenty one

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>yards for a touchdown? Kids got balls, Kids got balls? Okay,

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you're honest. Quick question on Big Ben. You know how

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 1>some football players when they retire, they get really skinny.

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen this? Yeah, it's usually offensive lineman like

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Thomas. Have you seen a recent picture of Joe Thomas.

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>He's felt and handsome and looks great and no offense

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm actually friends with his wife. But he looks

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>better than ever than when he played all those years.

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you think big Ben will like be in g

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Q anytime soon post career? Like, like, maybe he's not

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that big out of a football uniform, you know what

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Big Ben has he's got that fat potential.

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 1>You can see his face, you see it. He's got

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna blow out. I mean, that kid's gonna

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 1>blow out. He's going the other way. You can see

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>it in his cheeks. He's got that chirrub like he's

0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 1>he's got a body that's begging to be fat. You know.

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think he goes the other way. He goes

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the other way, and he's just gonna blow out. He's

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna Yeah, he's just you won't be seeing him with

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>your dad calling any games as a color commentator. That

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 1>kid's gonna be on the couch. I didn't even think

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 1>about that. How would he be on area? Yeah? He

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>might be great. Yeah, I don't know, I don't see it.

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>He's blowing out the kids got a fat face. How

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 1>about next season, we have a big Ben watch and

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>we just kind of keep tabs on him, you and me.

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love it. We should just keep

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>We should check in week by week and see, you know,

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 1>see how much weight he's game. I love it. That

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 1>was an amazing unleashed Olivia. That was absolutely amazing. I

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>love hearing your passion for football. It was an incredible

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 1>season and we got incredible games coming up wild Card.

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just unbelievable fun. You know what. I was clicking

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. I was actually clicking back and forth.

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 1>The game was amazing. The Chargers, it was amazing. But

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I had to check in to see the return of

0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Clay Thompson. I think probably the most underappreciated player. Ah.

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to nominate him all time as one of

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the most underappreciated players, unsung heroes, even in big games.

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.239
<v Speaker 1>The guy is just a machine of efficiency. And in

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>an era where guys are playing on super teams and

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, talking about their contracts and all the egoism,

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 1>this guy just sits back in the cut plays chess

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.360
<v Speaker 1>in his free time. He's a huge chess fan, which

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I am too, So it makes me love him even more.

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And he defers to Steph who gets all the credit

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and everything, but make zero mistake, he is the second

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>best shooter in NBA history. We're talking about Clay Thompson's

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 1>return to the Golden State Warriors. I had to click

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>over on my during commercials and even miss some of

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the Charger game to just hear the roar of the

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.640
<v Speaker 1>crowd they love him in the bay and watching him

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 1>come out and have an amazing game game obviously they

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 1>were running plays for him, you know, and he was chucking.

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>He put up a lot of shots, but he looked great.

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>One of his first plays was a dunk, and it

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>was just great to see him back on the court,

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the last time. It was a good feeling.

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>It was a good feeling because the last time he's

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 1>been out, he's been out for two years, horrible injuries.

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It was just a reminder of an innocent time before

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>COVID seeing him out there, you know where Pete Davidson

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>was just making jokes about the Kardashians and he wasn't

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>putting his big piece in them. It was just, yeah,

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it was the time before waves. It was a time

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:39.679
<v Speaker 1>before variants. It was a time before masks. Someone actually

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>pointed out that the last time Clay Thompson played, if

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you had bought fifty dollars worth of bitcoin, right, it

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>would be worth a hunt one point six seven million

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars today. That's how long ago it was that Clay

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Thompson was out there. Tears came into my eyes. It

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 1>was just great to see the Splash brothers together again

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:03.679
<v Speaker 1>on the court. Obviously, basketball is about to kick up.

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.720
<v Speaker 1>We're about to start talking a lot of basketball. They're

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a contender. He's pumped, he's pumped. He's got a chip

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.199
<v Speaker 1>on his shoulder now because he didn't make, you know,

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.159
<v Speaker 1>the greatest players, probably because he was hurt. So you

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.480
<v Speaker 1>got a backcourt now that both of them play with

0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the chip on the shoulder because you know, Steph always

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:22.639
<v Speaker 1>played with the chip on his shoulder because he was

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 1>from a mid major and Davidson overlooked too slow, whatever,

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and now Clay, both sons of former NBA players, to

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 1>those guys have a lot in common, and it's just

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>great to see the Flash brothers back in the pool.

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm rooting for Golden State this year. They're my second

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite team behind the Turkishish Kebabs over there in Turkey

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 1>with my favorite player, Sam Decker, so Go dubbed Nation Congrats.

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Clay Day was an absolute pleasure to watch, and basketball

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>is about to ramp up, big baby. You know, I

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 1>had a hard time on focusing on anything else that

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 1>do you mentioned the litt nugget about bitcoin? Do you

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>own any bitcoin? I don't own any bitcoin. I didn't

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. I still think it's a ponzi scheme. I'm

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 1>not convinced. I know there's back Damon's doing commercials. I

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 1>just don't understand it. It's like what I get a

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of bitcoin, I can buy an illustration of a

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>gorilla to make my profile pick for a week. I mean,

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 1>why would I pay? No, that's n f t S.

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>These are different. That's n f T S, which is

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>equally weird and confusing. But you and I are probably

0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>just antiquated. Yeah. I'm a boomer. I'm such a boomer. Yeah, yeah,

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>we're I'm a boomer. I got boomer energy, and I

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 1>wish we had boomer size and on okay, actually, small plug.

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:39.159
<v Speaker 1>If you are interested in n f T S, we

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.120
<v Speaker 1>had someone on our show who explained it. It went

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 1>over my head. I still didn't get it, but it

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 1>was an incredible episode. Go back to the Austin Neckler episode.

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Austin Neckler running back for the Chargers. He is really

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:51.959
<v Speaker 1>deep in the game and n f T s, so

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 1>go search that one. Okay, that was incredibly honest. I agree,

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Clay Day was a huge success and for everyone listening

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:00.160

<v Speaker 1>I've been listening to your content for a minute. Now,

<v Speaker 1>you guys are on point. I love bet MGM. So

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>it is a thrill to get the offer, and it's

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a thrill to be on with you guys here today.

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.959
<v Speaker 1>How nice is that? Now? I kind of went through

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>your bio little, but I left tons out obviously a

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.640
<v Speaker 1>former football player, yourself, walk us through because everyone gets

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 1>into sports broadcasting, I feel like, in a different way,

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.919
<v Speaker 1>walk us through your way. Yeah, it's so funny because

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I had such a lucky but I put myself in

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>position to get to a point where I was on

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>national TV. But I tell people all the time, whether

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you're in college where they're in high school, if you

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 1>have a dream of being on television or radio or

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 1>now podcasting or anything like that, you gotta put yourself

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in position. And I did that right out of college.

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I was in local TV. I was only in Market

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:26.399
<v Speaker 1>sixty for a minute, Kansas City Market thirty. I'm very

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>lucky at the age of twenty two, and then I

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>was only there for eight months and I got the

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>offer to go to w w E. So it was

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a very lucky way of doing it. But getting to

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.399
<v Speaker 1>national TV when you're only twenty three certainly put you

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:40.639
<v Speaker 1>on the fast track. Uh. And then at ESPN for

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.639
<v Speaker 1>ten years. But now I'm doing exactly what I've always

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do. We were building our own brand at CBS.

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Sports Lines amazing, and I get to to work with

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>so many different great people that understand sports and understand

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:55.439
<v Speaker 1>sports betting. So I'm having a blast. But I've had

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 1>a great career so far. So so thank you for

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>listening all those accomplishments. Yeah, man, you're quite versatile, you

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>know you were. You were great doing sports, also great

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 1>doing wrestling. I have a question I've always wondered about wrestling.

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 1>So much of the storyline is planned out. Is the

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>commentating also planned out? Because you were so good at

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>acting and emoting you know the storyline that was going

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 1>on and and actually dramatizing it. So has that played

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 1>out or is that just off the head. We kind

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>of would attack a Monday night Raw or a Friday

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 1>night SmackDown the same way that you would attack a

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 1>football game or a basketball game, and you study the

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.119
<v Speaker 1>storylines and what is gonna sell that particular match to

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the audience at home. It's the same way if you're

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>doing a football game or a basketball game or a

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 1>baseball game, and you just lift up the stars and

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.920
<v Speaker 1>you make them almost superhuman to the fan at home,

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>who's watching and who's listening. So that was our preparation.

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.199
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you this that Vince McMahon was in

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 1>our ear every single night, almost every line I missed

0:27:56.440 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 1>one Monday night in ten years one one, and he

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 1>would be I got so good at hearing him and

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>repeating what he wanted us to say that I could

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>say within a half a second or maybe a second

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>as it was coming to my ear, I could spit

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>it out. Because if you didn't spit it out right

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:13.239
<v Speaker 1>when he said it, then he would scream at you

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 1>for not saying it and interrupting other people. So you

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>learned that you said what Vince wanted you to say,

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>or you weren't gonna be out there for very long.

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And I did something right because I lasted ten years

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 1>the first time, and then I went back for a

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 1>year and a half or two years in two thousand

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 1>eighteen and realized very quickly I didn't want to do

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that anymore, and this is what I was meant to

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>be doing. He's such a larger than life figure of

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Vince McMahon is so successful. Obviously when he's not barking

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 1>in your ear during a broadcast? What is he like

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to work with? Like, what's something you took away from

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 1>his time? I think so many things away, so so

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>many When I when I got the ESPN, so many

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 1>people asked me what can you possibly take from wrestling

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to real sports? I mean, well, what can you carry over?

0:28:57.040 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 1>There's a million different things. First and foremost, branding is everything.

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Every single person, every character, every move that we make

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in the w w E has to do with individual branding.

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 1>But then bigger branding to the w w E. And

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I would say in sports betting it's exact same thing.

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>There's so much competition right now that if you don't

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>have the right branding, whether it's bet, MGM or any

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 1>other sports book that you're talking about, you have to

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>have the right branding. So that's the first thing I

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.479
<v Speaker 1>took over from Vince. The other thing was don't be

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 1>scared to try something. And what I mean by that

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is in this day and age where seven guys and

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>you do some on Monday and people forgot about it

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday, try something. The whole reason early edge in

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>sports Ligne is what it is today with us is

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 1>because a year ago we tried something, and if it

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have worked, we would have moved on and we

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>would have tried something else. But that's another thing I

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 1>took from him. What I took from the Rock was

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>this timing. Everything you say has to matter. If you

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>only got ninety seconds, that make it the best ninety

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 1>seconds that you possibly can. Whether you're doing one of

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>these shows, make it the best take that you can.

0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And guess what sports better is if they're watching one

0:29:59.920 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>of these shows, they don't want to hear you talk

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 1>for two or three minutes, So get in thirty or

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 1>forty five seconds and get out and move on down

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the road. So all of those things I learned from

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 1>doing Monday Night Row and working with all those different talents,

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 1>but specifically events. Damn you honest, we already recorded the open.

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>We would have done it much more efficiently after we

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 1>heard that nugget. Yeah, I mean you have me hyped

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>coach two. Yeah, Well, I love that, you guys dont understand.

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I love this so much. And nothing drives me crazier

0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:33.720
<v Speaker 1>than when somebody comes on somebody else's show and they

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>act like they're doing you a favor. No, no, this

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>is a thrill for me. Because this means that I'm

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 1>doing something right. That we can sit here and chop

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.719
<v Speaker 1>up whatever it is, wrestling, sports, sports, betting. This is

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>everything to me, and so you're gonna get the best

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of me no matter what it is, what time of

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the day, and what the show is. What you said,

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you you realize it wasn't for you, and I've read

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that you've said that you'll never go back to it,

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I hate to say it this way,

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>but let's just bring it up. You said you love

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to not be working for a company that doesn't have

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that too respect, just paraphrasing. Can you elaborate on that

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit? Yeah, sure, absolutely so. When you when

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you give somebody ten fift twenty years of your life,

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>which is exactly what I did and the stuff that

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:21.239
<v Speaker 1>I did for Vents, and it's many, many things. And

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:22.959
<v Speaker 1>even when I got to ESPN, I would still get

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 1>phone calls at three or four o'clock in the morning

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 1>asking for favors to get his content on ESPN. And

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I did that. We did that. I put the other

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>crew and we got w w E content on ESPN

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:36.600
<v Speaker 1>every Tuesday night on Sports Center for over two years.

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>We started storylines on Sports Center that my bosses at

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 1>ESPN didn't even know we were doing because they weren't

0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 1>smart enough to watch the content that we were doing.

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 1>So I did all that. And the reason I did

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that is because they were trying to get a big

0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:51.800
<v Speaker 1>TV contract with Fox, which is what they have right now.

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>It was a billion dollars or something like that. But

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>they could not have done that if they wouldn't have

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 1>shown Fox. Well, look, we can put our content on

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 1>regular television and it works. So that's just one thing

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I did. I could list ten things. So then when

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I left ESPN because to thank you, So I don't

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 1>even want to cut the bill. I don't even want

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to cut of the billion. I just want them not

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to bounce a check to me. And I've said this

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 1>in another interview, so it's not breaking news. They asked

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 1>me to be a part of the XFL and because

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>they wanted a w W E guy to kind of

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>oversee what was going on. Well that was when the

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 1>pandemic shut down halfway through the XFL season. Well, I

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>gotta check the bounced and when I called them, it

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.120
<v Speaker 1>was all of a sudden, radio silent. Twenty years of

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:36.479
<v Speaker 1>loyalty and you're gonna bounce a check and not make

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 1>it right. And they still haven't made it right to

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 1>this day. So people say all the time, Oh, coach,

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 1>people say all the time, I would never go back.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 1>It's wrestling. Everybody goes back. Mark my words. I'll say

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it again right here on your show. I will never

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>go back to the w w E. It doesn't matter

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 1>what they do, I won't go back. Did you get

0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer? Did you? Are you? No? Because they filed bankruptcy.

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>So when you filed ankruptcy, it's just you sit around

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 1>for years and you might get a percentage. So I

0:33:05.480 --> 0:33:07.959
<v Speaker 1>thought I was the only one that had a direct

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 1>relationship with Vince and the bosses on the w B side.

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 1>So what I got back from them was that's a

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>different company. So there's not much we can do. Of course,

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>it's say how does of course it's shady, which is

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>why I'll never go back. You can't treat people that

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 1>way and then expect them to want to say nice

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 1>things about you, to want to go into business with

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:31.160
<v Speaker 1>you again. And that's why right now, a lot of

0:33:31.200 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing, people are frowning on it. People are

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 1>not watching it because you can't have that reputation and

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>treat people the wrong way and then expect them to

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 1>want to be with you long term. So if people

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>want to go work for them, they can do it. No,

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 1>ill will. Part of the reason I have my two

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>kids this day is because of the w w E.

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>But as far as ever working for them again, it

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 1>would be a cold dayan hill before I would do that.

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow wow, Well, you know, coach, we can always go

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>see them in a different way, you know what I

0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 1>mean if they you know, we can go with a

0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of bad and say, hey, how about chair, how

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:09.239
<v Speaker 1>about we can do that. We could do that, no doubt.

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I like it. I like it on brand on brand Alright,

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>beg let me ask the tough questions. How much steroids

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>are in the w w E. Uh. Well, here's the

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 1>thing is that I personally never took any, and a

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys I know did over the course of time.

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 1>There are certain things, though, be honest, you just don't

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:31.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about. Right, if you're doing him and the person

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>next to you is not, you don't talk to them

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 1>about that. So I personally, I people say, oh, coach,

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:39.319
<v Speaker 1>you're covering up. It's just nothing that I ever wanted

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to do, because even though I got into the ring,

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the only reason you would ever care about what you

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:45.880
<v Speaker 1>physically look like is if you had to take your

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.720
<v Speaker 1>shirt off or you were a full time wrestler. I wrestled,

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't have to worry about that because I

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.920
<v Speaker 1>could talk, and I had value because I could speak,

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>so I never had to Did it never happen. I'm

0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.560
<v Speaker 1>not gonna say that it didn't, but it wasn't something

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I walked around the locker room looking for. Yeah, I

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 1>used to guess based on how small the package was

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>in the shorts. See what I have to deal with, Olivia?

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>How do you do this on it? If you're ever

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>living for a new co host, Olivia, you've got my number.

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Now you've got my number. Now now this is her replaceable.

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>He's in that upper. All I'm saying is Triple Triple

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Age has a tiny piece. That's all I'm saying. Then

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I take back what I just said. Come on, let

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 1>me cut you off. I can promise you. I could

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:39.120
<v Speaker 1>promise you that I would never ask him that. I

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:44.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I would never ask him. So who's a

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 1>current or former, probably more former athlete that you can

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>think of right now that could have an impressive career

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:54.360
<v Speaker 1>at w w UH there's several. I think the obvious

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 1>one is Connor McGregor, but anybody that just blanketly says, oh,

0:35:58.200 --> 0:35:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Connor would be great in the w w E, you

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta remember he's only he fought it and a pounds,

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.719
<v Speaker 1>all right, so if you translate him into the world

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:09.879
<v Speaker 1>of the w w E. There's only been maybe two

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:12.800
<v Speaker 1>or three guys ever that have been under a hundred

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:14.959
<v Speaker 1>any pounds that did anything as a pro wrestler because

0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 1>they just looked too small. And in the world of

0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:19.719
<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling, you've got to look the part and be

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 1>able to play the part. So Connor would be the

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>obvious one, but I don't think he's big enough to

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 1>do it. There are other guys I think that. I

0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>think Janisna Kompo, even though he isn't like a super

0:36:31.719 --> 0:36:33.799
<v Speaker 1>super tough guy. I think he could be part of

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 1>a group because he's so nice. He's very personable, he

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 1>likes interaction with fans. You've got to like interacting with

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 1>fans to be a w w E superstar, so I

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:45.359
<v Speaker 1>think he would be absolutely terrific. I think Lebron James

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>would be great because he's six nine, He's really strong.

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest secret about becoming a w W

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:54.279
<v Speaker 1>superstar or a e W or professional wrestling in general, guys,

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is that how tough you have to be. When I

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:59.880
<v Speaker 1>started training, and I was being trained by different people,

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it was the hardest thing I've ever done. You've got

0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:03.439
<v Speaker 1>to be able to learn how to get your ass

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>kicked in a professional way. And if you can't bump,

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:09.919
<v Speaker 1>as we used to say, you can't get into the ring.

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>So when you have a fist coming at your face

0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and you have to stand there and make sure they

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 1>hit it to within an inch half an inch, that's

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>very difficult to learn how to do. So, uh, there's

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:22.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys I think that physically could do it,

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>but you gotta match Olivia the talking with the physical

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 1>aspect to to to make it work. What about I

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 1>think he'd be great. It's funny you mentioned him because

0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>two thousand, sixteen and seventeen, Uh, as I said, we

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:40.840
<v Speaker 1>had w W content on Sports Center, so we actually

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 1>took a full desk to WrestleMania and did live Sports

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Center hits from WrestleMania. So Gronk was best friends with

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>one of our w W wrestlers at the time, so

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 1>they had him in the Royal Rumble or the Rumble

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Match at WrestleMania on one of those two years. So

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I actually had him on Sports Center right next to

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 1>me the day that he actually jumped the railing and

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 1>went into the ring and helped his buddy win the

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Rumble match at WrestleMania. So he would be perfect because

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:11.319
<v Speaker 1>he's already done it. Yeah, the way I see, there's

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:13.840
<v Speaker 1>two aspects to be in a great wrestler. It's the

0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:18.760
<v Speaker 1>charisma part obviously, and then the wrestling part. In your opinion,

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 1>who's the best wrestler, who's the best star? A lot

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of people say Brett Michaels, Who do you think is

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the best technical wrestler we've ever seen in the w

0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:31.560
<v Speaker 1>w F slash w w E. Well, Brett Michaels was

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a singer. I think you're talking about Sean Michael's It's okay, okay,

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, yeah, sorry, Although Brett, Brett Michaels, I'm sure

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:45.839
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be a wrestler. He's he's very small, he's

0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:53.799
<v Speaker 1>very small. Wait, way to way to prepare for the interview. Honest,

0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I got I got ct I'm I'm I

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 1>used to be a big wrestled fan. I just got CTE.

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, it's okay. We're gonna forgive you. We're gonna

0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:05.439
<v Speaker 1>forgive you. Sean Michaels was fantastic, fantastic, But the best

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:07.840
<v Speaker 1>wrestler that I was ever around, that I ever saw

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>in the ring was Kurt Angle And to me, it's

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 1>not close. And he was a great amateur wrestler, won

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a gold medal in the Olympics, but he made the

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:21.200
<v Speaker 1>transformation to professional wrestling like nobody physically that we had

0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. Now, what he was able to do was

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to create a character and learn how to be funny,

0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 1>because when he first came out, people forget that he

0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 1>was local in Pittsburgh and try to be a sportscaster.

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 1>He was terrible. He was awful, and he had just

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:39.279
<v Speaker 1>turned down a multimillion dollar offer from Vince in the

0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:42.239
<v Speaker 1>w w E straight out of the Olympics because he

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 1>frowned on pro wrestling. Well, then when he came back

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and said, wait a second, maybe I'll try this. Oh

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:49.719
<v Speaker 1>that that million dollar offer that's gone We've got to

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty for you over here, though, if you'd like to

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>take that and then earn it. So he had to

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 1>earn it. But as far as the best character and

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 1>star of all time, in my opinion, it's not even close.

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's the Rock. Now. I had the the ability

0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and the good fortune that for at least two years

0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:10.319
<v Speaker 1>it was me and him doing our little skits on

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:13.319
<v Speaker 1>the show every single week, and people absolutely loved it.

0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:15.399
<v Speaker 1>He would make fun of me and I would look

0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the foil and it was magic. And over the course

0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:21.319
<v Speaker 1>of eight or nine years our relationship changed to where

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.719
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and seven then he showed up. He

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 1>had been gone for years. He showed up out of

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:28.400
<v Speaker 1>nowhere to go face to face with me as I

0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:30.520
<v Speaker 1>was making fun of another character we had. So it

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:33.759
<v Speaker 1>all came full circle. But the Rock, I've taken more

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:36.359
<v Speaker 1>from The Rock than anybody else I ever worked with,

0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 1>as far as as timing, as far as kindness, paying

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:43.320
<v Speaker 1>it forward, understanding that no matter how big you get,

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 1>that you're not bigger than anybody else. And that's how

0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Rock treats everybody is it doesn't matter if you're his

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:54.000
<v Speaker 1>personal assistant or you're the president of Universal Studios. He's

0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna treat you the same, and that's what I try

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to do every single day. So, uh, there's a lot

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:00.120
<v Speaker 1>of guys that have taken stuff from and there's lot

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of guys that are dynamic, But those are the two

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.879
<v Speaker 1>curd angle the Rock. I'm a big fan of the Rock,

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:08.279
<v Speaker 1>not only as an entrepreneur now, but he was a

0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 1>former football player as well. So let's pivot to football

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Wild Card Weekend begins this weekend. From

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:17.359
<v Speaker 1>a betting perspective, I have a theory on this first

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:19.759
<v Speaker 1>round of the playoffs. So the last four years, the

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:23.799
<v Speaker 1>first round playoff games have been close, like every year

0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:26.560
<v Speaker 1>besides last year Saints Bears that was a blowout, but

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:28.239
<v Speaker 1>every other game, I swear to god, I went back

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and look last four years. So if you see a

0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 1>big spread like Steelers Chiefs for example, I want to

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 1>say that's like twelve points or something. If you see

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a big spread, do you just go ahead and play

0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the underdog in this one? Or what's your approach to

0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 1>week one of playoffs? You can do one of two things.

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 1>What we are going to do and and people get

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 1>scared of this, but it's actually very very simple. We

0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.400
<v Speaker 1>tease it because the numbers on the underdogs live it.

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.279
<v Speaker 1>You are spot on. The underdogs in recent years have

0:41:56.560 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 1>cash like eighty five or right. So if you've got

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 1>a number, then what we like to do, though, is

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we tease it and you put it in a two

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:07.600
<v Speaker 1>team teaser, so you add six points of that number.

0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:08.960
<v Speaker 1>So now if you want to be on the Steelers,

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 1>now you're getting eighteen and a half and you gotta

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:13.440
<v Speaker 1>win two games, but you're getting eighteen and a half.

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:15.760
<v Speaker 1>So if you look at several of the games this weekend,

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:19.319
<v Speaker 1>for example, you've got the forty niners. They are plus three, right,

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:21.719
<v Speaker 1>so if you tease them now you're getting them at

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.040
<v Speaker 1>plus nine. Now you don't have to worry about that

0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:26.239
<v Speaker 1>very little number, and you can tease them with a

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:28.640
<v Speaker 1>The Raiders are getting five and a half, you tease

0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:32.560
<v Speaker 1>them now you're getting eleven and a half. So that's

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.839
<v Speaker 1>what we like to do. But anything above five or six,

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 1>we would automatically go to the under the underdog because

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 1>they also play a lot different guys and in the playoffs,

0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:43.839
<v Speaker 1>it's just about getting in and getting out. You don't

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:45.919
<v Speaker 1>care how much you you you went by. You don't

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 1>care about the stats for the players. All we talked

0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 1>about last week was all the incentives that players had

0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to make for the last week of the season had

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with the playoffs. This week, all that shifts,

0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 1>all that changes, and now it's about winning and moving

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:00.840
<v Speaker 1>on to the second week. So a lot of prop

0:43:00.880 --> 0:43:04.239
<v Speaker 1>bets I would stay away from because they're just not

0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:06.759
<v Speaker 1>going to care. And then I'd also alive it to

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:08.439
<v Speaker 1>your point, I would go I would look a lot

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 1>at the underdogs this weekend, except for the Chiefs. We

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>believe they're going to blow out the Steelers. Have you

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>guys put together a teaser that you're really standing behind yet? Oh? Absolutely,

0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:18.919
<v Speaker 1>So we do our big Mega Can you share something

0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:21.160
<v Speaker 1>with us? Yeah? Of course, absolutely so. We do our

0:43:21.200 --> 0:43:25.680
<v Speaker 1>big NFL Mega preview on Tuesday, because then the numbers

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:28.239
<v Speaker 1>changed throughout the week and it's all about bidding the number.

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Our show is called the early Edge for a reason.

0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You want to beat the numbers. So the amount of

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 1>time you get to Sunday and it's no longer five

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and a half, it's down to three and a half.

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Now you've got that number where you wanted it on

0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday or Wednesday, So that's what a lot of novice

0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:42.640
<v Speaker 1>betters don't do. Also, you don't look at a game

0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:45.520
<v Speaker 1>three or four days before you need to do There

0:43:45.560 --> 0:43:48.799
<v Speaker 1>you go, it's all about game day. You can't do that.

0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:52.160
<v Speaker 1>You got all week long. So well, coach, if I

0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:54.160
<v Speaker 1>can interrupt you real quick one second, what must have

0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:56.719
<v Speaker 1>been really tough for you all this year is the

0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.959
<v Speaker 1>COVID list situation. You know, so many times we're sitting

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting, well, who's even playing? How do you deal

0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:04.440
<v Speaker 1>with that? Well, we have a prop show that we

0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>do every Friday at two pm Eastern time. So what

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 1>we had to do the last several weeks was we

0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:12.279
<v Speaker 1>had to do an extra prop show on Sunday. And

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>we we like to say it at our brand that

0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:17.560
<v Speaker 1>we're here to serve the sports better, no matter the day,

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:20.439
<v Speaker 1>no matter the time, right, So if the props aren't

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 1>there on Friday, then you gotta give them on Sunday.

0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's how we would counteract that. Or we also

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:27.839
<v Speaker 1>like to say some of the best bets that you

0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 1>make are the bets that you don't make. You don't

0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:33.200
<v Speaker 1>have to bet on every game, you don't have to

0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:34.759
<v Speaker 1>bet on the prop just because you like it, just

0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>because you're looking at it. You don't have to do that.

0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So staying away sometimes is the right play because you

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.320
<v Speaker 1>just don't know until maybe an hour hour and a

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 1>half before game time, and that's just not enough time

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 1>to put everything together. You know, in football, it's very

0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:50.680
<v Speaker 1>hard to market yourself because it's such a team game.

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 1>There's so many guys on the on the field. You

0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:56.399
<v Speaker 1>gotta helmet on people. You know, football players probably get

0:44:56.440 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 1>recognized the least, you know, maybe hockey play hockey players less.

0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:02.520
<v Speaker 1>What would you what advice would you give football players

0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in the day of social social media to market themselves.

0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Get a little bit of that endorsement money. Take a

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:10.279
<v Speaker 1>page out of the w W E. You know, it's

0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:12.800
<v Speaker 1>like Victor Cruz had his dance. You know, Tom Brady's

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 1>now got his clothing line. Is it just acting crazy

0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and taking your uniform off and cheering the crowd like

0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Brown did? I mean, what do you do to

0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:23.839
<v Speaker 1>get that attention when you're a football player. If you're

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 1>not trying to get the attention now, then you're being foolish.

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:32.040
<v Speaker 1>If you're not trying to push your brand within the brand,

0:45:32.200 --> 0:45:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you're being foolish. I actually sit to the p g

0:45:35.080 --> 0:45:37.880
<v Speaker 1>A tour a whole list of marketing ideas that I

0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:41.360
<v Speaker 1>would do with players golfrid because they're individuals. But you

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 1>can do the same thing in the NFL because the

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:46.480
<v Speaker 1>one thing that athletes love to do the most guys

0:45:46.840 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 1>is complain about money they're not making. Oh I deserve this,

0:45:50.480 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh I deserve that. Well, guess what. You can't always

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>dictate how much money you're gonna make it on the

0:45:56.000 --> 0:45:58.120
<v Speaker 1>field because it has it has to fit into your

0:45:58.280 --> 0:46:01.000
<v Speaker 1>salary cap right, and you may the team may say

0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you're not worth what you think you're worth. So where

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:05.640
<v Speaker 1>do you go? What do you do? Well, there's a

0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of money over on this side that I

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 1>can make just by doing commercials, doing endorsements. The reason

0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Groc is so good it is because he doesn't care

0:46:12.920 --> 0:46:16.200
<v Speaker 1>about making himself look stupid, because he's also laughing every

0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:19.200
<v Speaker 1>single Monday morning when those checks show up for all

0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the commercials that he's doing. So what I would tell

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a football player is start using social media to your advantage. Now.

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of teams have rules in place,

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:31.319
<v Speaker 1>but make yourself look likable, give yourself a personality, and

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:34.120
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, these companies they're gonna start coming.

0:46:34.160 --> 0:46:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I promise you that because now companies have realized that

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 1>if they pay somebody fifty hundred thousand dollars, that's a

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:43.240
<v Speaker 1>lot less than what you'd pay for a TV commercial

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.520
<v Speaker 1>or what you'd pay to advertise over here. So being

0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:50.760
<v Speaker 1>strategic in your marketing, that to me, is the most

0:46:50.800 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 1>important thing right now, and that's why these companies need

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.359
<v Speaker 1>to hire really smart people that know how to do

0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:59.560
<v Speaker 1>it and help these athletes promote their own brand. I'm

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna hire you coach from my social media. Yeah honest,

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you could be doing a fab fund box any day now.

0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Sagarar Hair Care, Yeah yeah. I feel like the football

0:47:12.680 --> 0:47:15.760
<v Speaker 1>players got to take their helmets off more, have weird hairstyles,

0:47:15.840 --> 0:47:19.080
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like the Island Boys or you know,

0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Dennis Rodman. That's the way to do it. Take the

0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:24.400
<v Speaker 1>helmet off every play. Take the helmet off. Did you

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:26.120
<v Speaker 1>guys see The Island Boys the other day did a

0:47:26.160 --> 0:47:30.600
<v Speaker 1>cameo video for somebody who was quitting a job. They

0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:32.440
<v Speaker 1>sent it to the They sent it to the bosses.

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:36.560
<v Speaker 1>They said, get the boss saying by the Island Boys

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, so you're gonna spend four hundred dollars to

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>tell your boss your quitting. That's that sounds like a

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:46.520
<v Speaker 1>smart business move to me, because they cost four hundred

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:49.759
<v Speaker 1>dollars to do a cameo video. Okay, he's getting no

0:47:49.840 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 1>severance nothing that zero zero. Okay, coach, we got a

0:47:54.040 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 1>little derailed. But I want to hear your teasers for

0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. Oh certainly. So we love the forty nights.

0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:03.479
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna ta them up to uh nine and that

0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be one side of your teaser. Because there

0:48:05.600 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 1>is no way on God's green earth that the Dallas

0:48:08.960 --> 0:48:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are gonna win by nine. In fact, I think

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna lose. On the field. San Francisco's defense is

0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:16.840
<v Speaker 1>way too good. They're getting most their their defensive backs back.

0:48:17.360 --> 0:48:20.600
<v Speaker 1>So we'll take the Niners plus the nine. Then if

0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you really like it, even though there are certain numbers,

0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:25.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna tease, it has to go through, meaning

0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:27.120
<v Speaker 1>three is one of them, seven is one of them.

0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:30.640
<v Speaker 1>So teasing the Chiefs down to six and a half,

0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a little more than you want to lay on

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:34.000
<v Speaker 1>a teaser. But if you believe the Chiefs are gonna

0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:35.759
<v Speaker 1>win by twenty, which is what we do. Then you

0:48:35.760 --> 0:48:38.560
<v Speaker 1>could tease the Chiefs down and put them with we

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 1>like that a lot, or taking the Raiders up to

0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 1>eleven and a half, love them, do not touch, I repeat,

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:48.000
<v Speaker 1>do not touch the Bills side. If you're gonna bet

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a teaser, bet the Patriots. They're getting four, so that

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:53.280
<v Speaker 1>means you take them up to ten. Can the Bills

0:48:53.400 --> 0:48:56.200
<v Speaker 1>beat the Patriots by ten? I would say no, I

0:48:56.239 --> 0:48:58.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be a three point game. I would say, yes,

0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:01.439
<v Speaker 1>oh you think they can't to my tent, yes, we

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:04.280
<v Speaker 1>we are talking about that after this with Peter Andrew.

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But what I was going to bring up is every

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:08.720
<v Speaker 1>victory they have this season and no playoffs are different

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is by double digits. Okay, but what happened against New

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:19.040
<v Speaker 1>England when they played in Buffalo in Buffalo with don't

0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:23.080
<v Speaker 1>they still had the game plan to get it done.

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:25.719
<v Speaker 1>And in the playoffs, it's about the game plan. That's

0:49:25.719 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a throw away game. Three pass attempts. Mac Johns, are

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you are you? Are you a Bills fan? All right?

0:49:35.040 --> 0:49:36.920
<v Speaker 1>So if you if you if you think they win

0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:39.560
<v Speaker 1>by ten, I'll give you three to one. Odds, and

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet you and I'll take the Patriots plus the tent.

0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:47.440
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be Sinnamy Venmo on Sunday night, Saturday night.

0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:49.440
<v Speaker 1>If you want to do that, we can do that.

0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:51.879
<v Speaker 1>We show all the time. I'll block your phone number

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:56.160
<v Speaker 1>by then I won't. I'll pretend. Okay, that's right, four

0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:57.880
<v Speaker 1>days from now, where we're gonna be strangers by that.

0:49:59.440 --> 0:50:01.560
<v Speaker 1>We only take ethereum. You got if you If you

0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:06.040
<v Speaker 1>lose the bet, you gotta pay in ethereum. You know.

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I was about to say, you guys need to do

0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:09.560
<v Speaker 1>a pay per view event. That was a nice little

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:11.360
<v Speaker 1>tee to tat. I like that. You guys were cutting

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a promo. That's fine, that's fine. We can do this

0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:17.400
<v Speaker 1>all day, all day. Okay. Of the wild card teams,

0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:21.520
<v Speaker 1>who do you think could or as most likely to

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 1>actually make a Super Bowl? If anyone m of the

0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:30.120
<v Speaker 1>wild card team, I would have to go straight to

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots because when you look at the other teams,

0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:37.360
<v Speaker 1>because I can't pick the Bucks, can't pick the Cowboys,

0:50:37.640 --> 0:50:40.000
<v Speaker 1>can't pick the Chiefs, so they all won their division.

0:50:40.080 --> 0:50:42.719
<v Speaker 1>So I've got to go with either the Patriots, and

0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:45.080
<v Speaker 1>they're the only one that I think or maybe I

0:50:45.120 --> 0:50:47.600
<v Speaker 1>don't even like, or the forty Niners. Let's go Patriots

0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and forty Niners. I think they're the only two of

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the I think I'll go. I'll go. Patriots and forty

0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Niners are the two on either side of the fence

0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:57.120
<v Speaker 1>that could make the playoffs at a wild card team.

0:50:57.160 --> 0:51:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they will, but I think they could. Okay,

0:51:00.400 --> 0:51:02.640
<v Speaker 1>that's a good answer. That's a good answer. What about

0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a road team this week, and especially with the spread

0:51:05.920 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of that in mind, what road team this week

0:51:08.719 --> 0:51:11.680
<v Speaker 1>has the toughest out the toughest out. Oh, that's a

0:51:11.719 --> 0:51:14.319
<v Speaker 1>great question. The toughest out. I'm gonna go right back

0:51:14.360 --> 0:51:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to the Bills gaming and I think that's gonna be

0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the game of the weekend. I really really do, even

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:20.520
<v Speaker 1>though I teach you about the ten points spread. Uh,

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:23.759
<v Speaker 1>and the likely outcome would be a tight game. Now

0:51:23.760 --> 0:51:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it could be tann and I'm just teasing you, but

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the likely outcome is these are two division rivals. They

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:31.799
<v Speaker 1>know each other very very well. They play each other

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:34.600
<v Speaker 1>twice a year. That matters when you get to the playoffs.

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think the toughest out is for the Bills

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:39.879
<v Speaker 1>on the a f C side, and then I think

0:51:39.880 --> 0:51:42.040
<v Speaker 1>on the NFC side, the toughest out is gonna be

0:51:42.080 --> 0:51:45.160
<v Speaker 1>for the Dallas Cowboys. I I really am bullish on

0:51:45.200 --> 0:51:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the Forts because of how they won last week and

0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:51.920
<v Speaker 1>got I in. They were down seventeen, they come back,

0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:54.319
<v Speaker 1>they end up winning on the field. That was big

0:51:54.360 --> 0:51:55.799
<v Speaker 1>time to me, and I think that shows a lot

0:51:55.840 --> 0:51:58.799
<v Speaker 1>about what they have inside and they never gave up

0:51:59.280 --> 0:52:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in that game, and so that's why they're in the

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.319
<v Speaker 1>playoffs and I think they're gonna play really really well

0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:05.680
<v Speaker 1>this week. Who were you most impressed by this season?

0:52:06.120 --> 0:52:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Which young quarterback? There was so many this year, who

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:11.799
<v Speaker 1>you most impressed by? That's a great question. I love

0:52:11.840 --> 0:52:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Mac Jones. I the toughest thing about playing for Bill

0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Belichick is getting past that first season. We don't remember

0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:19.880
<v Speaker 1>what it was like for Tom Brady act of the

0:52:19.920 --> 0:52:22.560
<v Speaker 1>first season, but now we're seeing it because there's so

0:52:22.600 --> 0:52:25.439
<v Speaker 1>much hyper focus on the Patriots. What are they gonna

0:52:25.480 --> 0:52:28.279
<v Speaker 1>do post Tom Brady? So Mac Jones has been dynamic

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to get his team to the playoffs, to play the

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:34.160
<v Speaker 1>way that he did at certain times. He had some hiccups,

0:52:34.200 --> 0:52:38.160
<v Speaker 1>but every rookie quarterback is going to have hiccups, and

0:52:38.160 --> 0:52:40.960
<v Speaker 1>then Justin Herbert. I think Justin Herbert got You know,

0:52:41.000 --> 0:52:43.359
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's a second year quarterback, but he got

0:52:43.400 --> 0:52:45.640
<v Speaker 1>hurt by his head coach. And people will not criticize

0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Stalely. He's the future. He's the millennial head coach.

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:50.880
<v Speaker 1>He's the guy that looks at the numbers and understands

0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:54.200
<v Speaker 1>when to go for two. Really, he left points on

0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the field three weeks ago that would have won the game.

0:52:57.000 --> 0:52:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And then if you wouldn't have called time out on

0:52:58.480 --> 0:53:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night, they would have played for a tie and

0:53:00.400 --> 0:53:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they would have made it into the playoffs. He outthinks

0:53:02.760 --> 0:53:05.840
<v Speaker 1>himself way too much and that hurt his team. And

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:09.440
<v Speaker 1>now his team is sitting at home. So when you

0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:11.640
<v Speaker 1>look at the other young quarterbacks, whether there's Trey Lance,

0:53:11.640 --> 0:53:15.800
<v Speaker 1>he didn't play all that much. You're looking at Jalen Hurts.

0:53:15.520 --> 0:53:17.960
<v Speaker 1>He's now a full time starter. But what have they

0:53:18.000 --> 0:53:20.320
<v Speaker 1>done in Philly. They're protecting him. They're running the football

0:53:20.360 --> 0:53:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to two or fifty yards a game. So I think,

0:53:22.560 --> 0:53:25.000
<v Speaker 1>really you have to look to Mac Jones as the

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:27.640
<v Speaker 1>guy as far as young quarterbacks are concerned, that had

0:53:27.680 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the best year. Yeah, it's incredible in such a shame

0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that Justin Herbert is not in the playoffs. I can't

0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:35.399
<v Speaker 1>grab my head around that that that you're coaching really

0:53:35.400 --> 0:53:37.719
<v Speaker 1>messed up. If you have that kind of quarterback and

0:53:37.719 --> 0:53:40.920
<v Speaker 1>he's sitting at home twiddling his thumbs, all the weapons,

0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to all those weapons they have a ton, it's really

0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:46.600
<v Speaker 1>really sad. But that's the way it works in the NFL.

0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Look at the Colts. They had what four or five

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:50.520
<v Speaker 1>games this year that they just gave away. And you

0:53:50.520 --> 0:53:52.879
<v Speaker 1>can't go to Jacksonville and lose as a fifteen point

0:53:53.000 --> 0:53:56.440
<v Speaker 1>favorite and lose by fifteen, you deserve to sit at home.

0:53:57.200 --> 0:53:59.080
<v Speaker 1>What is he you think he's doing? Like a moneyball

0:53:59.160 --> 0:54:01.319
<v Speaker 1>thing in football where he's just like he's looking at

0:54:01.320 --> 0:54:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the analytics and saying, on fourth down, this is the

0:54:04.760 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 1>probability that you know it's and you know what's he doing? Like,

0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know to to to go for it

0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:11.680
<v Speaker 1>on what do you go for it? On his fourth uh?

0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:16.360
<v Speaker 1>In that game it was on his own eighteen eighteen

0:54:16.760 --> 0:54:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a full yard and he handed it to his five

0:54:19.080 --> 0:54:23.120
<v Speaker 1>seven running back Austin Ekeler, and it was a full yard.

0:54:23.400 --> 0:54:26.080
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like a short yard. It was a full yard.

0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:29.440
<v Speaker 1>It was the worst play call, and then he always

0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:31.719
<v Speaker 1>defends himself after the game it was the right call

0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that this is what the numbers said to do. Well,

0:54:34.080 --> 0:54:36.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you gotta have a field for the game. Sometimes

0:54:36.239 --> 0:54:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you gotta look at and say, what does my gut

0:54:38.120 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>tell me to do? And my gut tells me that

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:42.880
<v Speaker 1>right here and right now, I need these three points

0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:44.560
<v Speaker 1>because I'm gonna get the ball on the other side

0:54:44.560 --> 0:54:46.239
<v Speaker 1>of half time. And then I can add another three

0:54:46.360 --> 0:54:48.279
<v Speaker 1>or seven and now look what I've done. But he

0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:51.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do that, and look what's happened the last several weeks.

0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So I think he's made a lot of mistakes and

0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:56.600
<v Speaker 1>he deserves to be criticized for those mistakes. Yeah, fun

0:54:56.719 --> 0:55:01.440
<v Speaker 1>money ball, Let the boys play. Let him way on

0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the kicker for the charges. Can you imagine for the

0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:05.520
<v Speaker 1>kicker for the Chargers. Can you imagine what his thought

0:55:05.560 --> 0:55:08.040
<v Speaker 1>process is right now? Honest? You know what I've learned

0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 1>today from coaches that I'm taller than Austin Neckler, which

0:55:10.800 --> 0:55:13.120
<v Speaker 1>is a real disappointment. He's a very handsome man, and

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I just can't with the height. I can't and that

0:55:16.000 --> 0:55:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I weigh as much as Connor McGregor. Now I am

0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:19.600
<v Speaker 1>five and I was pregnant, but I didn't know his

0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:26.240
<v Speaker 1>wait until he said it. But you still look great.

0:55:27.400 --> 0:55:31.879
<v Speaker 1>You're only seeing you raced up. So thanks so much

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:33.959
<v Speaker 1>for your time. This has been a lot of fun.

0:55:34.080 --> 0:55:36.400
<v Speaker 1>You brought us a lot of laughs, an incredible insight.

0:55:36.480 --> 0:55:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. I try it again. Thank you guys for

0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:44.120
<v Speaker 1>asking me. I'm always here and your honesty. Thanks for

0:55:44.160 --> 0:56:14.880
<v Speaker 1>having me. I appreciate it. Thanks guys, have a great year. Well,

0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the NFL playoffs are finally here. I cannot wait one

0:56:18.360 --> 0:56:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite weekends of the year where everything kind

0:56:20.680 --> 0:56:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of comes into focus. So let's not waste any more

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:25.919
<v Speaker 1>time and bring in bet MGM betting expert, the one

0:56:25.960 --> 0:56:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and only Mr Peter Andrew Peter. Thanks for joining us again.

0:56:30.640 --> 0:56:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a better mood now that the Niners one

0:56:32.360 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. I love it. Okay, let's get into some

0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:41.160
<v Speaker 1>of these super wild card games, which I just love

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the title. Can't say it enough. Go ahead, throw out

0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:45.719
<v Speaker 1>your games you got and you honest and I will

0:56:45.760 --> 0:56:52.919
<v Speaker 1>each make a pick for our punishment picks. Punishment picks. Yeah,

0:56:53.000 --> 0:56:54.759
<v Speaker 1>so I'm trying to pick the ones that maybe you're

0:56:55.120 --> 0:56:57.319
<v Speaker 1>steaming off the cuff a little bit more competitive. I

0:56:57.320 --> 0:56:59.560
<v Speaker 1>think first one is a fun one. On Saturday, you

0:56:59.640 --> 0:57:02.680
<v Speaker 1>got triots at the Bills, Bills minus four and a half.

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.040
<v Speaker 1>You've seen them split the season series, so I think

0:57:05.040 --> 0:57:07.120
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a fun one. It's gonna be cold

0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in in Buffalo. So what do you guys look there

0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:15.759
<v Speaker 1>on that one? Yanny you start? Yeah, I'm going with

0:57:15.800 --> 0:57:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the Bills. I mean, hats off, hats off to the

0:57:18.760 --> 0:57:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Patriots for making it look so good for a rookie

0:57:22.440 --> 0:57:25.240
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in that Belichick system. But I'm going with the Bills.

0:57:25.760 --> 0:57:28.080
<v Speaker 1>He's not there yet. Mac Jones isn't there yet. Going

0:57:28.160 --> 0:57:31.280
<v Speaker 1>with Josh Allen, Baby, yeah, Mac Jones has not looked good.

0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he's three and two and his last five

0:57:33.720 --> 0:57:36.800
<v Speaker 1>starts in Josh Allen, I mean little Jekyll and Hide

0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:39.080
<v Speaker 1>here with this Bills team. But when the Bills win,

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:42.200
<v Speaker 1>they win big. Every victory this year has been by

0:57:42.240 --> 0:57:44.800
<v Speaker 1>double digits. So I like the Bills. What's the line,

0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 1>pete four and a half? Oh, take it, definitely take

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it now. The Pat's defense is the only thing keeping

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:54.080
<v Speaker 1>them in games. They allow just eighteen points per games,

0:57:54.080 --> 0:57:56.920
<v Speaker 1>so maybe stay away from that over But I like

0:57:57.040 --> 0:57:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the Bills and I like them big yeah. I agree

0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 1>with you as they're on that one. Next one is

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the one that's near and dear to my heart. Niners

0:58:04.720 --> 0:58:07.840
<v Speaker 1>at the Cowboys. Cowboys are minus three, so three point

0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:11.320
<v Speaker 1>favorite Niners coming off a very emotional win and then

0:58:11.360 --> 0:58:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys were able to wrap it up with the blowout

0:58:13.200 --> 0:58:17.440
<v Speaker 1>win against the Eagles on a week team M yeah,

0:58:17.680 --> 0:58:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, I think I like the Niners. Here's why.

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:24.720
<v Speaker 1>These teams that are the wild card teams, they're dangerous.

0:58:24.840 --> 0:58:27.720
<v Speaker 1>They they're playing with house money, right. They didn't think

0:58:27.760 --> 0:58:30.720
<v Speaker 1>they'd make it, really, I mean, who knows what they thought.

0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:32.880
<v Speaker 1>But I just think this is gonna be good. It

0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:36.760
<v Speaker 1>relies on the broken, busted up hand of Jimmy g

0:58:37.040 --> 0:58:39.320
<v Speaker 1>When he doesn't throw a pick, they win. They have

0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:42.000
<v Speaker 1>not lost a game when he doesn't throw a pick.

0:58:42.280 --> 0:58:44.400
<v Speaker 1>But Dallas takes the ball away. That's their m O.

0:58:44.720 --> 0:58:46.960
<v Speaker 1>This defense is really good and like we saw in

0:58:47.040 --> 0:58:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Dallas's last game of the season, Wow, when they are

0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:52.520
<v Speaker 1>clicking on offense, they are scary. So I don't know

0:58:52.600 --> 0:58:55.880
<v Speaker 1>if this were in San Francisco, maybe a different story.

0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:59.880
<v Speaker 1>So I take it back. I'm taking Dallas. I convinced myself.

0:59:00.720 --> 0:59:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Flip flop. I mean, you should run for office, Olivia.

0:59:03.320 --> 0:59:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was what they call a flip flop

0:59:04.800 --> 0:59:07.880
<v Speaker 1>in the political world. Because I'm definitely going with Dallas.

0:59:07.920 --> 0:59:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe you were going with the Niners. I

0:59:10.480 --> 0:59:12.760
<v Speaker 1>was about to say they should start calling me the

0:59:12.800 --> 0:59:15.000
<v Speaker 1>betting expert on the show because I win so much.

0:59:15.360 --> 0:59:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going, obviously with the Cowboys. They're a juggernaut.

0:59:18.800 --> 0:59:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I think they're a real contender. They could win it all.

0:59:21.320 --> 0:59:24.760
<v Speaker 1>The forty Niners just you know, they're here, They're there,

0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:28.520
<v Speaker 1>They're nowhere. It's any game, anything could happen. It's gonna

0:59:28.560 --> 0:59:30.240
<v Speaker 1>be a bad game. They're gonna get blown out by

0:59:30.240 --> 0:59:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys. Put a lot of money in the Cowboys, guys,

0:59:33.200 --> 0:59:37.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it all. I'll say, roll wide receiver one,

0:59:38.200 --> 0:59:40.680
<v Speaker 1>running back one, and now QB one with a touchdown

0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:43.000
<v Speaker 1>pass last week. So I'll tell you guys, be careful

0:59:43.000 --> 0:59:44.440
<v Speaker 1>for that next week. I think he's going to be

0:59:44.480 --> 0:59:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the dual threat that that is the difference maker last game.

0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:52.400
<v Speaker 1>This is always fun. The first time Monday Night football

0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:55.520
<v Speaker 1>for the playoffs for Super World Card weekend Cardinals Rams.

0:59:55.560 --> 0:59:57.840
<v Speaker 1>They were fighting to the end for the division. Rams

0:59:57.840 --> 0:59:59.520
<v Speaker 1>are four and a half point favorite at home, and

0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so far, what do you guys like there? Well, we

1:00:02.640 --> 1:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>have to disagree on this one, honest, because we're in

1:00:05.000 --> 1:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>agreement so far. I'm gonna take the Rams. And here's why.

1:00:10.240 --> 1:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Matt Stafford's looking horrible and in general, it's hard to

1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of cheer for the Rams. But talent wise, they

1:00:16.680 --> 1:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>are so stacked and Cardinals aren't getting hot back this week,

1:00:20.560 --> 1:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>are they? I don't think so. I don't think so either.

1:00:24.960 --> 1:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>That'd be a difference maker, though, but I've got to

1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>take the Rams at home. Although the Cardinals are better

1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>on the road. I think they're eight and one on

1:00:31.720 --> 1:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the road or something. But yeah, I'm going with the Rams.

1:00:33.960 --> 1:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I really like their mid season editions in von Miller

1:00:37.400 --> 1:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and O b J. I feel like that's made them

1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>way more complete and competitive, so I think they'll really

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>show up for this wild card game. Well this is

1:00:46.120 --> 1:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>appropriate because I'm not just disagreeing because we have to.

1:00:50.400 --> 1:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I like their mid season addition to Miller, but as

1:00:53.120 --> 1:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a former Giant fan, I gotta say, oh b J

1:00:57.120 --> 1:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>likes to drop passes in the playoffs, big moments, the

1:01:00.800 --> 1:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>passes just get dropped, mark my words, big plays. O.

1:01:04.440 --> 1:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>B J is gonna drop some big passes. He's overly emotional.

1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm going the other way, baby. We're going with the

1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>squeak at quarterback. He's gonna run like little Mighty Mouse

1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>all over the field. The Cardinals are taking this. Put

1:01:17.600 --> 1:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>big money on Yanni's picks and you'll win money. Baby.

1:01:20.640 --> 1:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm the betting expert at bet MGM. I think interesting game.

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I would say it's a three point game either way,

1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>so maybe plus four and a half is the right way.

1:01:31.160 --> 1:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>What I will say is potentially next week Stafford up

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>first Rogers Davante Adams. I think that's a pretty intriguing

1:01:39.200 --> 1:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>matchup if you like divisional round and it'd be a

1:01:41.840 --> 1:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>fun one up in Lambeau. Yeah. Yeah, these are some

1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>close ones here, so it'll be a fun first weekend

1:01:47.680 --> 1:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and obviously a couple more games, maybe a little bit

1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>potential to be a blowout, but it's gonna be a

1:01:53.440 --> 1:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>great weekend. I'm gonna be watching him from Cobble Mexico,

1:01:55.800 --> 1:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so I'm excited. Oh, we need more information on that

1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>next the week before we go, we have to pay

1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>off our punishment pick. And it was supposed to be

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, New Year knew me like everyone I saw

1:02:12.400 --> 1:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in the gym this week. But once again, Janice, you're

1:02:15.240 --> 1:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the winner. You crushed me picking the Raiders and the

1:02:18.000 --> 1:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Niners correctly. I feel like Brandon Staley, completely heartbroken and

1:02:21.800 --> 1:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>wanting to call a time out. But here we go.

1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I have to read the outro. This is what I get.

1:02:26.960 --> 1:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. That's why they paid me the big bucks,

1:02:28.720 --> 1:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess. Okay, thanks for listening, everybody. This is miss

1:02:32.240 --> 1:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Preggers herself the Georgia peech. Alam oh h d. But

1:02:35.280 --> 1:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you, Georgia winning the national title took

1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>me back, y'all. It took me back to a simpler

1:02:40.480 --> 1:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>time when your girl was guzzling down vodka shots and

1:02:42.960 --> 1:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>acting real SUTs on the weekends. That's right, your girl

1:02:46.400 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>loved party and I got the rap sheet to prove it.

1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I was arrested. Okay, now I can't read this on

1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I was never arrested. Just tell us your story, tell

1:02:58.240 --> 1:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>us your story. It's okay, you were four. I hope

1:03:01.160 --> 1:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>we have no new listeners who were so confused. Right now,

1:03:03.960 --> 1:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I was arrested, for punching a girl in the mouth

1:03:05.880 --> 1:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>for talking to my man once. My dad had bailed

1:03:08.280 --> 1:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>me out of jail for robbing a rite aid my

1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>sophomore year. It wasn't my fault. I was dating a

1:03:12.680 --> 1:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>towny named Dale and he needed some boxles. What's that boxes?

1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>It was your body and Clyde face. Oh, I was

1:03:26.800 --> 1:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a natural. Didn't have to pistol, whip the cashier or nothing.

1:03:29.880 --> 1:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>We were in and out. Well, I'm not allowed back

1:03:31.960 --> 1:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>on campus, and my family had a pulse and strings

1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to get my record expunged. But it was worth it, y'all.

1:03:37.200 --> 1:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>How's Dale now, you ask, Well, let's just stay. Last

1:03:40.000 --> 1:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>time I heard he was in prison for sticking up

1:03:41.760 --> 1:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>a cracker barrel and selling bath salts. We took different roads,

1:03:45.360 --> 1:03:49.919
<v Speaker 1>but we had our time anyway. They used to call

1:03:49.960 --> 1:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>me Olivia the Gremlin back then because I was all

1:03:52.280 --> 1:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>nice and sweet during the day, but at night, you

1:03:54.160 --> 1:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>pour a little alcohol in me and you could find

1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>me drunk on the quad squat being a four am.

1:03:59.440 --> 1:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll bring an amazing grace to the girl who did

1:04:07.120 --> 1:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>my homework in exchange for me saying hello to her

1:04:09.640 --> 1:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>in front of my cool friends. I'll always be grateful.

1:04:16.000 --> 1:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember your loser name, but you made college

1:04:19.120 --> 1:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>fun you too, Dale Bulldog for life, by y'all, you're

1:04:24.320 --> 1:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a wild girl, Olivia. I'm glad you got out of

1:04:26.920 --> 1:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that face. What a wild face? How week I say?

1:04:30.720 --> 1:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I hope my mom isn't listening to this. Well, my

1:04:33.920 --> 1:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>mom is currently standing over my shoulder and just heard

1:04:36.520 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that whole thing. So thanks a lot you honest. I'm

1:04:38.400 --> 1:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a twenty girl, grounded, pregnant woman. But that's a fresh show.

1:04:42.200 --> 1:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>This week takes everyone for joining. Make sure you follow

1:04:44.760 --> 1:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>app at MGM on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. That's new.

1:04:48.720 --> 1:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>We're doing a lot of fun one bet videos on

1:04:50.880 --> 1:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>TikTok and I really really hope I went next week

1:04:53.800 --> 1:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>because I can't keep my career going much longer with

1:04:55.800 --> 1:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>those sign offs. Thanks y'all. Piece
