158
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: social media. And I came across one of your articles

159
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: that you'd written for the Right Way Sports Network and

160
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: they're usually talking about the Cincinnati Bengals, and I thought, well,

161
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: this is interesting. It's fun to throw shade it. The

162
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: AFC North and what's going on up there? You know,

163
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: you know, we bounced around all the different teams and

164
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: they always had kind of predictions over what Joe Burrows

165
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: going to do. Yeah, you know, as you heard again,

166
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 3: and then an article about the Huskers came up on

167
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's okay, Well, then I have to read it,

168
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 3: you know. Of course, then I looked saw that you

169
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: were from Omaha. I'm like, this is crazy, this guy

170
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: that's talking sports betting about the Huskers from a syndicate

171
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: out of Cincinnati. So we you know, I reached out

172
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: and you replied and we got you on the show

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: shortly thereafter.

174
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I mean, yeah,

175
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: you guys high energy, and it's different because, especially back then,

176
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: there wasn't much for sports betting content out there, and

177
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 2: for you guys talk high energy. And then you entertained

178
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: at the same time, like you welcomed the shade, the jokes,

179
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: the back and forth, the bands. Right, it wasn't really

180
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: as much about the picks as much as it was

181
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 2: about the discussion of the pick.

182
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: Well, uh, anybody can make a pick, right, say, this

183
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 3: team's gonna win this, that team's gonna lose uh, and

184
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: I was kind of frustrated with sports talk, especially in

185
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: the local radio. I felt like you could tell that

186
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: the co host, whether it was the afternoon or morning show,

187
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: whatever whoever was on, you could tell they're just trying

188
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 3: to fill the A block, trying to get through the

189
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: B block, whatever. So Jared and I made a bullet point.

190
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: And his stage name is Jabron the Parlay Pounder, And

191
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: that's that's a nick that's his real nickname. That's like

192
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: what his boys call him.

193
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 4: You know.

194
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: I got to tag along a couple of his parties,

195
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: a bachelor party in Kansasity. Those guys are wild Gabron.

196
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: That's that's legit what you're hearing. Yeah, that's the Parlay

197
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: Pounder getting after it.

198
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: I love his Uh. He would wear different jerseys different

199
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: my god. It seemed like he had a jersey, uh

200
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: for every occasion, not only.

201
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: A jersey, but a color scheme to it. The random

202
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 3: teams he has that Patrick Mahomes Texas Tech jersey, you know,

203
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: and then a color coordinated hat and shorts. Say, oh yeah,

204
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: he does it up. He's into he's into high fashion.

205
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: But where I was going with that is we kind

206
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: of made a ball list or I can concocted a

207
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 3: show of how I wanted it to flow, how I

208
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 3: wanted it to hear and sound and be constructed. And

209
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: I wanted to pretty much be the anti sports show. So,

210
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: like you're saying, high energy, a lot of jabs back

211
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 3: and forth, keeping the listener engaged. I didn't want dead air.

212
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 3: I never wanted them to feel And I told this

213
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: to Jared and I think you before he went on,

214
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: if it feels like this conversation is running dry, running out,

215
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: we're cutting it. We'll just end it right there. And

216
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: I vividly remember the first time I had you on

217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: and we were in a rhythm where I would try

218
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: and squeeze in five NFL games between Jared and I,

219
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: and then when you throw another co host into the mix,

220
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: well now I got to divide that up even more. So.

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: It was just boom, boom, rapid fire through that first

222
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: twelve minute segment, and after we signed off, you go, whoa, whoa,

223
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: saying I could use a.

224
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: Cigarette for that. Yeah, it's a it's a lot. And

225
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: I and that's the thing anybody who's never done radio,

226
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, and back back back, shoot now over twenty

227
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: years ago when I when I was on radio. You

228
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: do a shift, and let you do a two hour shift,

229
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: you do three hours whatever it is. People will be like, oh,

230
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: well that's cake. I mean now you gotta go do

231
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: your other job or whatever. And it's like, I'll tell

232
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 2: you what, that two hour shift will take more out

233
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: of me, like than an eight hour shift stocking produce.

234
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 3: Oh for sure, I'll tell you. The most drained I've

235
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 3: ever felt like physically mentally was It was in twenty twenty.

236
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: COVID just started getting into it and everything was getting

237
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: shut down. Well at the time, our governor Pete Ricketts said,

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: we're doing our state basketball tournament. I don't care what

239
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: New York's doing. I don't care what I was doing.

240
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: We're doing it.

241
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: So they put up all these guidelines like only direct

242
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 3: family members were allowed into the arena and this and that,

243
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: and we had to wear masks and this and that.

244
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: But throughout that process, our founder of the network said, hey,

245
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: we'll tele advise all the games. Do it. Figure it out.

246
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: So were I was doing six live games a day. Wow,

247
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: and I'm just thinking this is I always put myself

248
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: in the viewers or the listeners shoes. I try to

249
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, if it's a grandparent, you know from

250
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: Virginia watching the game, they're gonna want me to be entertaining.

251
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: They're gonna want me talking, you know, with high energy

252
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: and praise towards their grandson. So I tried to bring

253
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: that energy every game. And I'll tell you what, after

254
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: three days of continuous four and six games a day,

255
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 3: I was beat, you know. And I could feel it

256
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: driving from Lincoln back to Omaha that night. You know,

257
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: you just it's it's it does. It feels like you've

258
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: been working out in the field and doing manual labor,

259
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 3: but really it's just all that mental you know, I

260
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: guess capacity that you have to burn trying to be

261
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: aware of that, be on the spot, know all the players' names,

262
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: break down the play they're trying to run. It does

263
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: take a lot.

264
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: That's how I felt trying to keep up with you

265
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: and draw that was I had to get back in

266
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: rhythm like that.

267
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: It's good.

268
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: This is a lot of fun, but man, I gotta like,

269
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: I gotta go through some reps. Like so, let me

270
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: ask you about that twenty twenty experience, because there's less

271
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: people in the audience. Yeah, where you still courtside. Yes, okay,

272
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: so without the audience noise because there's not much and

273
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: you're giving it. You're all like you normally, would do

274
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: you change in what you say how you say it,

275
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: knowing the players certainly can hear you.

276
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: No, okay, no, no, not at all. I try not to,

277
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: you know, I just try to be legit and honest,

278
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: and what I see is what you're gonna hear. And

279
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: it's worked out for me. And back then, and that

280
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: was at the stage where it was just wash your

281
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: hands a lot, so the six foot rule wasn't in place.

282
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm thinking back. I'm getting kind of crossed up here.

283
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 3: The following football season was the mask year, so the

284
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: mask weren't even a thing yet, so it was just

285
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: wash your hands twelve times a day, and social distancing

286
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: wasn't a thing yet either.

287
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I just

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: I find it. I always find it fascinating because when

289
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: you're doing any type of media, you have to give honest,

290
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: you know, assessments, and generally the players are in their

291
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: own world. But during that time it necessarily wasn't the case.

292
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: So there were still some.

293
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: Pretty good crowds. They had like a parents and an

294
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: and one and brother and sisters. So Elkhorn. At the

295
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: time they figured it out, they had a pretty good

296
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: sized crowd. I'm like, these are some big families from

297
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: there right out corn so uh. But yeah, there's still

298
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: some pretty good noise there at the Devanny the first

299
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: a couple of days and then Pinnacle Bank Arena for

300
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: the championships.

301
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: What about, like Simon, like, have your broadcasted off location

302
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: where you're just watching it through a monitor.

303
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: No, we've never done that, okay, but there was a

304
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: lot of that going on in twenty twenty and twenty

305
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: twenty one, right, you know, And I felt like you

306
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: could tell, you could tell within you know, first five minutes,

307
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: ten minutes of a broadcast, if they were there or not.

308
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the energy isn't there.

309
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

310
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: You certainly would feed off of everything going on around him.

311
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: And I always felt it was important to bring up,

312
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: like I always like to shine a light on the

313
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: pet band, what they're playing. If there's a drummer just

314
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: going wild with big hair over there, reference that and

315
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: then the cameras can go catch it. And you can't

316
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: do that if you're remote, you know, you can't you

317
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: can't give that live experience.

318
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: What's your favorite sport to cale? Uh?

319
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: I really like football, and that's probably just because I

320
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: played it in college. Basketball is a lot of fun

321
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: because it's it's it's so taxing and it keeps you

322
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: on your toes. But I really love football and just

323
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: breaking it down, and it also gives you time in

324
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: between plays to break down what you just saw and

325
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: then set up the viewer for what you think they're

326
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: gonna see.

327
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what's the moment when you played football? What's

328
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: a moment that you think about like often?

329
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: Uh, okay, yeah, let's go all the way back to

330
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: high school. Were from a very small town and and

331
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: we you know, we have those rivalries like everybody does.

332
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: And the town next to us. Uh, they were a

333
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: class above us and they beat us and everything all

334
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: the time. And that's how we grew up just knowing

335
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: that those big bad guys from Spencer Naper are gonna

336
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: beat us.

337
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

338
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: Well, we always played with the chip on our shoulder,

339
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: our class, my class, graduating class, especially our senior year.

340
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: We're in Spencer, we're hanging on, we're cleaning on to

341
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: like a four point lead late in the fourth quarter

342
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: they're driving. It's a third and long and I had

343
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: have been fourth long so long ago. But it was

344
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 3: a passing situation. They had to stop the clock and

345
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: I was the cornerback. It was a down and out.

346
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: I played it perfectly, batted the ball out of bounce

347
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: with you know, writing the guy out of bounce, and

348
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: I was celebrating and I look at the official and

349
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: he's he's rolling his arms saying first down, Like what what?

350
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: The balls on the ground? Yeah, the balls on the ground.

351
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: Like that was the only time I like lost my mind,

352
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: like hollering at the official. And I wasn't yelling at him.

353
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: I was just trying to get the point across that

354
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: noe like he I actually touched that ball and batted

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: it on the ground. You called it a catch, and

356
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: but that's just it now. Now the ball is just

357
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: and you know, like four plays later, with something like

358
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: fifteen seconds left, they win the game on a pass

359
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: to the end zone.

360
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: Oh my.

361
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's that stuff sticks with you. And then

362
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: I guess that's why you love in eleven ete sports, right.

363
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: Isn't it funny? It's it's a negative moment that you

364
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: think about. Yeah, like so often because I'm the same way.

365
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: Uh.

366
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: Freshman year high school, I was wide receiver and it

367
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: was called post post corner. Yeah, and uh it was

368
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: the ball is coming to me on the sideline and

369
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: I heard post and I ran post and cut in

370
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: and the ball goes sailing over my head. Immediately said

371
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: to the sideline as the quarterback was screaming, what are

372
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: you doing? Why is this guy on the field? And

373
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm I'm toast over.

374
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: It is funny how that happens. I don't know, you like,

375
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: because you you live for those good moments and those

376
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: highs and there's so much fun. But it's yeah, it's

377
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: that it's that loss. It's that it's that heartbreak that

378
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: just really sticks out in your mind.

379
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: You know.

380
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's uh, because because I do think

381
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: about that a lot. Why is it some of the

382
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: negative moments that stick with people. I think it's because

383
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: we work. Maybe a psychologist needs to tell me if

384
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: this right, we shrink, We're gonna ge shrink in here.

385
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: But we work so hard for the wins. It's not

386
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: like we're working hard for the losses. So when we win,

387
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: hey we did it. This is what we're supposed to do.

388
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: We're working towards this, yes, and then the losses catch

389
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: us by surprise sometimes because it's like, that's not how

390
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: it was supposed to come.

391
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that stings. And also mine was kind of a

392
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: mixed bag there because I made the place. I read

393
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: the down and out. I knew it was coming. I

394
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: knew it was a passing situation. I knew that their

395
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: route tree basically had three routes on it, and I

396
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: was ready for it. And I and I was on

397
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: their primary receiver, tall guy, way taller than me. And

398
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: it's just it also sticks with you because it's like, Okay,

399
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: I can't beat the system, can I? I'm stuck in

400
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 3: the matrix this it was like, and nobody from Spencer

401
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 3: noticed that. They're just like, oh, of course they caught

402
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: it there to catch it. We're supposed to beat Lynch.

403
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: I can't believe we're losing to him right now. They

404
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 3: gotta feel good about that. They're beating us in the

405
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Those kids, Good for them, Good for the

406
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: oh Man. Yeah, so now you kind of get me

407
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: riled up here.

408
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: That's what laugh on He's all about. We get people

409
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: worked up. So have you seen the show Tosch Point,

410
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: Oh back in the day, love Tosh Point. Oh okay,

411
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: I love it. So you know how he would bring

412
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: on somebody who had like a terrible experience on the

413
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: internet and they would get redemption Web redemption, Web redemption. Yes, uh,

414
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: we may need to do something like that with you

415
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: and where the players call dead yeah, and you win

416
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: the game.

417
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I gotta I have another moment that that. It's

418
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: not quite a feel good moment, but I always felt

419
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: this needs to be a book and then it needs

420
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: to be churned into a movie real quick, oh, real quick.

421
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

422
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 3: So we didn't have you know, we're class D one,

423
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: D two. The big school was C two in the area,

424
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: you know, but during the summertime, all we had was

425
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: Legion baseball, so there was no high school baseball. Sure,

426
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: and with that limited pool you know, number of kids,

427
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: we were consolidated throughout the entire county, which actually set

428
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 3: the table for a pretty cool advantage because you got,

429
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: you know, the three or four best from here, the

430
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 3: three or four best from there, three four best from

431
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: the next town over too. So we had, you know,

432
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: we were pretty salty. I'm not saying that we were great.

433
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: But the Boyd County Legion and Junior Legion baseball teams

434
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: when when that was the thing, we were pretty good.

435
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: You know, you we're at least gonna make you earn

436
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: that dub if you're gonna get it.

437
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: You know.

438
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: We wore black, just beautiful black jerseys with a gray pinstripe,

439
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 3: gray pants, hats with the cursive B C on it,

440
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, and people would ask what's the BC stand for? Yeah,

441
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 3: you know, and we're like and then they're like, oh,

442
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: but what about what's the difference, you know, if you're

443
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: following that, you know, yeah, so saying we always kind

444
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: of played that to like, well, got a chip on

445
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: our shoulder where the underdogs were wearing that black and silver,

446
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: like the Raiders or something.

447
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: Baseball. That's right, that's right.

448
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: And we had a lot of fun and won a

449
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: lot of games, you know, and I've had a lead

450
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: off and played a lot of shortstop. So with that,

451
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: we had a kind of a marquee game. We were

452
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: going up to O'Neil in the Brass that's the big

453
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: school town of three thousand people or something. That's the

454
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 3: big town, you know. Yeah, and if you could hang

455
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: with O'Neil. You knew you had a good team, so

456
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: a lot was on the line here, you know, and

457
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: I was we were playing pretty good baseball at the time,

458
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: and that would have been the summer of my senior year.

459
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: So we're seventeen going on eighteen and a trio of

460
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: Lynch kids. And I'm not gonna say any names, because

461
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 3: you know, we're still have families and jobs and education

462
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: and things of that nature. But it was myself, the

463
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: starting pitcher and the starting catcher. We were able to

464
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: run into a guy that graduated a couple of years

465
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: ahead of us, and he got us twelve road sodas

466
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 3: and we weren't we weren't gonna partake in those road

467
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: sodas until after the game, you know, because of course

468
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: we gotta beat we gotta beat them.

469
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: Yes, to stay focused, gotta stay focused.

470
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: So get these road sodas and uh the pictures driving

471
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: us and he has his parents Ford Explorer and it's

472
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: that green, that light green, that sparkly you know, imagine

473
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: an old Ford Explorer with that light green.

474
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: You know.

475
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: Every park lay yep, yep. We're like great, great, all right,

476
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: let's go, let's go. So after we get our road

477
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: sod As. We're feeling pretty good about this. You know,

478
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 3: we're either going to be drowning our sorrows or really

479
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: celebrate the victory, you know. And this is in July.

480
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: It's hot, so we put it. We put like six

481
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: of them in a cooler, and then we're like, that

482
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 3: still looks a little suss. So we found a blanket

483
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: and we put the cooler under a blanket in the

484
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: back back of this Ford Explorer and the other six

485
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: at road Todas that didn't make the cut because we

486
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 3: just had a little cooler trying to, you know, keep

487
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: it under the radar. We just stuffed those under the seat.

488
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 3: They didn't get they didn't so they didn't have any

489
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: ice on them. So we're, uh, we're starting the game here.

490
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: I'm at shortstop. Our ace is on the mound that

491
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: drove us and our other I mean, this kid was

492
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: an all star, was that catcher. We're getting into this

493
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: first inning, and all of a sudden, the picture's mom

494
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: comes running. Everyone just saw her comes running from the

495
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: parking lot with the blanket over her shoulders. I see this,

496
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: I know what's going on. The picture sees this. He

497
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: calls the time out immediately waves up the catcher and

498
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm I'm like, I'm holding the glove over my mouth

499
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: because I'm not laugh I'm like, this is so bad.

500
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: This is so bad.

501
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 4: Oh.

502
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: And the picture then looks at me and waves me

503
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: and I'm like, so I got I go in there

504
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: and goes you see my mom. She grabbed his mom

505
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: and she's wearing the blanket. The blanket. I'm like, no,

506
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: I saw you're discussing this on the mouth on the

507
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: mountain during the game. This is happening in real time.

508
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: And I'm like, look, we got one out. We still

509
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: need to get two more outs here. Then we'll get

510
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 3: to the dug out. Will figure it out. Just rocket

511
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: fire rocket fire man, and he does. I mean, six pitches,

512
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: strikes two guys out.

513
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: We're back in the dugout, adrenaline going through.

514
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So they're flipping out. They're like, well,

515
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: do we come clean? Do we tell them this? Do

516
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: we tell them that? Who do we throwing under the bus?

517
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: And they're like, well, what if we say we found

518
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: it and blah blah blah and this, And then I'm like,

519
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: oh my god, I I just don't think anyone's buying that. Yeah,

520
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: you know, but you guys, it's your two moms. My

521
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: dad was the coach and my mom wasn't there, so

522
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: it was just their two moms and they were just

523
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: locked on us. They're just staring at us. And she

524
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: was wearning that blanket because she got cold in July.

525
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: Oh my.

526
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: And so anyhow, fast forward to the end of the game,

527
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm just trying to find the humor

528
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: in all this and just how absurd it is. I'm like,

529
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 3: this is insane. And every inning I heard the pitchure

530
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: and the catcher kind of talking over, well should we

531
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: say this that, I'm like, and I kept my stance.

532
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'll go along with whatever you guys want,

533
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 3: but I think it's a long shot if you're going

534
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 3: to try and get out of this one incredible. So

535
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 3: fast forward to the end of the game. I don't

536
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: even remember if we won. That's you know, that's like

537
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: a side story.

538
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, did you even win? But it

539
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.

540
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we get to the end of the game.

541
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 3: Our picture ends over to his mom and catches them

542
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: and they're heavy in discussion. I see, and both moms

543
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: are there talking to the picture and the catcher, and

544
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, oh man, this doesn't look good. We are toast.

545
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: They're letting them have it, and they're just you can

546
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: tell when mom's getting in on, you know, the kid. Yeah,

547
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: so I kind of I mosey over there, you know

548
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: if my head kind of hung And one of the

549
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 3: moms says, so, thinking you could get out of it, huh.

550
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, when we saw your run up in

551
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: the first thing, we kind of knew the gig was up.

552
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 3: And she everyone's eyes get real big and she goes,

553
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: see they were lying, like what And then then the

554
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: one that guys looks at me.

555
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: And goes what.

556
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: I go, oh, you guys didn't tell them? Like then,

557
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 3: I just, honest to god, I just shut my mouth

558
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 3: and walked away. I'm like, I just torpedoed this thing.

559
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: They didn't tell me what the plan was. Yeah, I

560
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: mean I figured no news is bad news in this

561
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: so but I didn't know that they had a story

562
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: concocted and this and that and how are they're gonna

563
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: wiggle out of it? And to their credit, we still

564
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: got off Scott free.

565
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

566
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 3: I'm like the belief factor and also me just going

567
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: in there and torpedoing it midway through. Amazing, amazing that

568
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: they had those negotiation skills.

569
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: Holy call. I could only assume that they have gone

570
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: on to do wonderful things with those types of skills,

571
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: you know.

572
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I didn't That's why I didn't want

573
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: to put any names out there, because we got some

574
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 3: you know, there's got families and like you're saying, no,

575
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: two of the best guys I ever met, and those

576
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: are some of the best years of my life playing

577
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: baseball with those guys. But that was just a unbelievable

578
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: happenstance there and just happening in the middle of the

579
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: game while we're playing.

580
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: That's so funny to have the meeting at the mound.

581
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: It's like when you say, they need to make a

582
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: movie about this, Like it's a scene from a movie.

583
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: I know where this is like a big game, this

584
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: matters to these young guys' lives. But what just happened.

585
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, off the field, our moms are mad. I'm just

586
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: gonna fire six fastballs and get two outs so we

587
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: can go talk about this.

588
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: You could have ruined the whole summer. Yeah, that's probably

589
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: that's probably the thing you can't possibly ruin our whole

590
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: summer in one moment.

591
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, yeah, And I'm still I still don't know.

592
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: I never asked what the story was how we got

593
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: out of that one, but we did. Yeah, you know,

594
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the first time I've ever gone

595
00:28:59,400 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: public with that.

596
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: Wow, this is a breaking news situation here on laugh

597
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: with me.

598
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: On a guy's trip. I confessed to my uncle and

599
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: my dad and they thought it was pretty hilarious and

600
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 3: couldn't believe that we got got out of that way.

601
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I've got my buddy Eric, who's a regular

602
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: on the pod. He his parents would go out of

603
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: town to go visit family frequently in high school, and

604
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: so those would be the times we'd always have, you know,

605
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: the boys over and uh, you know, have a weekend.

606
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: But for forever we thought his parents had no clip like.

607
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: It was always business as usual, right, But he would

608
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: hide the trash bag under their deck instead of just

609
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: putting it in the trash can. I don't know what

610
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: his lodgit was, wops, but it would come It would

611
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: come out years later that there that his dad obviously

612
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: saw the trash bag, obviously knew the gig was up

613
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 2: the whole time, but he figured everything looked fine, and

614
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: you know, there was no story here. But yeah, it's

615
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: like one of those things you think you get away,

616
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: No you don't.

617
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you do.

618
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: So my parents would always go on like a corporate outing,

619
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: usually after football season or after basketball season, you know,

620
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: because they're heavily invested. They want to watch all of

621
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: our games and stuff. So it just mysteriously happened. Hey,

622
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: we're going to Houston for five days. You know, a

623
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 3: great window for you here. And you know, we live

624
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: out on a ranch a couple miles out of town,

625
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: so it was a good spot for the boys to

626
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 3: get together. And I would take it a step further

627
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: and the trash bag or two that was just filled

628
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: to the brim with a bunch of an aluminum and

629
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: maybe glass whatever. We had a little small town recycled,

630
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: a real small town by the name of Manawai, population one.

631
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: Oh my, at the time it was populated. Yeah, it's

632
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: just Elsie, Elsie. But at the time I think it

633
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: was a population of two, maybe might have been seven

634
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: at the time. A couple of families lived there. She's

635
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: everything and she keeps. She keeps it incorporated too. Really, yeah,

636
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: it is a town. It is a town.

637
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: What happens when she passes, we don't know.

638
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: And she's in her nineties.

639
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: There's gotta be some something written. What's gonna happen? It

640
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: has to be. There's gonna be chaos.

641
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, and I'll tell you what. If you go

642
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: up there right now and you stay there for over

643
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: an hour. A YouTuber one of those traveler guys, they

644
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: will stop in. She is a note. I mean over

645
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: twenty years ago. She was in Ripley's, believe it or not,

646
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: when it was just her and her husband, Rudy, or

647
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: the population too, and since then it's just swelled up.

648
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: Arby's did a national commercial, so they took the biggest

649
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: brand and promoting the smallest town in America. So like

650
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: they had the biggest Coca Cola billboard was on the Hayfield,

651
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: across the street from her, from her bar, from her

652
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: cafe or whatever you wanna call it. So it Yeah,

653
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: a lot of things happened in the middle of nowhere, fascinating.

654
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 3: So Rudy was big into recycling. Any of you collect metals,

655
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: so I would always take all the aluminum over there

656
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: and you know, make about ten dollars, fifteen dollars or

657
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: whatever off all. Well, that was like a super speed

658
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: highway into everybody knowing that that something went down out

659
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: at the classroom place because two huge bags full of aluminum.

660
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: H it just made its way to Monowai to be recycled.

661
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: Doesn't just pop up out of all no.

662
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: So we were actually kind of working against ourselves on

663
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: that one. But I made some money off of recycling,

664
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: and I was, you know, I was doing what was right.

665
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: You're doing the right thing. More with Andy Classen on

666
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: Laugh with Me the podcast with Jeremy Odom right after

667
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: the break a few weeks ago. I'm telling you, I

668
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: don't even remember what the story was, but I was

669
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: relating in how I lived in a small town in

670
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: central Iowa for two years. You know, it's part of work,

671
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: and we our population was like seven thousand or something, right,

672
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: and you're like, yeah, that's nothing, because you what was

673
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: ears like a few hundred or something like that.

674
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, about three sixty when I was in high school.

675
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: Three hundred and sixty people and the big town O'Neill

676
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: is just shy at three thousand, I think maybe it's

677
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: thirty five, but still pretty small.

678
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so everybody, I mean I experienced everybody knew my business.

679
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: Yep.

680
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: And and maybe it was just because I was quote

681
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: unquote a business leader, but everybody knew my business in

682
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: the start. I can't imagine in a town of three

683
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: sixty that there's if you have a homework assignment missing.

684
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean people know, they do know. And you know

685
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: those old episodes like the first five seasons of South Park,

686
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: that is just this, that is just legit how I

687
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: felt growing up, Like the bad news does beat you home.

688
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: I remember the catcher I was with, Yeah, we were

689
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: we uh snuck into some grain bins just to see

690
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: what's in there. We didn't. They just always been sitting

691
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: in the middle of town, and I was just curious, like,

692
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: what the hell is in there? You know, we're just

693
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: I think we're like ten at the time. He cut

694
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: his knee on the steel getting inside, and before he

695
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 3: even got home, my mom has called his mom and

696
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 3: let him know that we were being bad and blah

697
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 3: blah blah, and it's like, yeah, the bad news beats

698
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: you at home in a small town.

699
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 2: Which South Park character would you relate to the most Oh, oh.

700
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: Man, probably, I don't know. I kind of like him

701
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: all but Cartman's tough, you know, he's just so so

702
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 3: sharp on that side of it. Probably just a boring

703
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: stand or a level headed you know, Kyle trying to

704
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: bring some I don't know sense to it.

705
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: Okay. So with that being said, and you're in like

706
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: your crew when back in the day and you're running through,

707
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: you know, a town of three sixty, you weren't the

708
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: ring leader then, you were just kind of like maybe

709
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: the brains a little bit kind of like, hey, is

710
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: this what we should be doing?

711
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 3: But the ride, I definitely wasn't. Everybody's kind of popular though,

712
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: you know, and just due to numbers and my infatuation

713
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: or whatever was sports. Uh you know, I I was

714
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: a three year starter in basketball and in football, played

715
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 3: a lot of minutes varsity minutes as a freshman, and

716
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not a big guy now. I wasn't,

717
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: especially wasn't then. So I was kind of thrown into

718
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 3: the fire because I had to be, had to be.

719
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: So everyone was kind of kind of popular, you know,

720
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: but I definitely wasn't. I wasn't the ring leader, that's

721
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 3: for sure.

722
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: So what when did you start getting into I guess

723
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: sports betting and getting kind of an idea around that

724
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 2: and finding I guess, yeah, how you liked it?

725
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: You know, I always I always found it so fascinating.

726
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 3: And you know what I tell people about where's the

727
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: line that's really where it came from? Was uh much

728
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: like how I didn't like regular talk radio and how

729
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: it feels like they're just trying to fill up the

730
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: A block. Those post game and pregame shows get so

731
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 3: redundant to me, and it's the same talking points and oh,

732
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: a guy that used to play in the AFC North

733
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 3: was gonna talk about how the Steelers are gonna win,

734
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: and Tony Roman was gonna tell me about how the

735
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 3: Cowboys are gonna win. Yeah, you know, I just find

736
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 3: it much more interesting to hear from a sharp or

737
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 3: a gambler or somebody that's setting a line or a

738
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 3: bookie as to why they think team's gonna win and

739
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: not only do they think a team's gonna win, but

740
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: they're gonna win by more than three points, And then

741
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 3: dive into the next step, why do they think they're

742
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: not They're gonna win, but not win by three points?

743
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: Like that's hot? I mean that's to me, that's much

744
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 3: more valuable, much more interesting, and man, that's way sharper

745
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 3: than the Cowboys are getting win no, right, you know

746
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: what I mean, I'd rather hear from somebody that has,

747
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 3: you know, some money on the line. They're livelihoods at stake.

748
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: What the game within the game, I mean, there's and

749
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: I think for me it was like it was fantasy

750
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: sports where I started to find the excitement or the

751
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: adrenaline from things other than who wins who loses. And

752
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: then that turned into oh, well I can win this

753
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: game without the team actually winning, like I can, and

754
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: then you get the juice going from that. It's like,

755
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: this is interesting. But to your point, to listen to

756
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: Sharps or anybody who just dives into analytically and can

757
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: break down a game, it's so fascinating, it is, and

758
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: they're so good.

759
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: They know every little detail, every little thing. Well, I

760
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: brought up Tony Romo. He got his butt shoed a

761
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 3: couple of years ago buy CBS because they could tell

762
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: he was mailing it in. Right, Yeah, you know you

763
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: can't do that if you're managing a book, you know, Yeah,

764
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 3: you don't lose your button in a hurry. So you

765
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: bring up fantasy sports. I've been playing fantasy football since

766
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 3: middle school. I really have been, like and back then,

767
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 3: we based everything off of the Omaha World Herald injury

768
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 3: reports scores, and we only did touchdowns. That's the only

769
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 3: way you score touchdowns extra point, so your kicker got

770
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 3: three for a field goal. So it was just kind

771
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 3: of fascinating. It made you see the game through a

772
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: different lens. Barry Sanders was a terrible pick. He never

773
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 3: scored touchdowns. Correct, he was that terrible running back. I

774
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: would never draft that guy because he never scored any touchdowns,

775
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: which is just fascinating to think when because what so

776
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 3: here again, you're you're looking at the sport through another lens.

777
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 3: And then now, if I'm putting myself in a defensive

778
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: players mindset, I can think they're probably going to be

779
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: used Barry Sanders as a decoy here. You know, you

780
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: can key off of what the tight end's doing or

781
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 3: what the fullback's doing if he's gonna try and flare

782
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: out fake a block for Barry, you know, and that's

783
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 3: I don't know that that kind of plays into what

784
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 3: you were saying there with the sports gambling with sports betting.

785
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, my brother and I so Fantasy baseball was where

786
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: we first got it. Oh, and we would get the

787
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 2: baseball weeklies and you know, we would set our lineups

788
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: or whatever on paper and we would just go head

789
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 2: to head over summer and I'd get the baseball weekly

790
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: and then go back through the week prior through the

791
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: box scores and add it all up and get it.

792
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: And then that's how we would Yep, it was so

793
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 2: much fun.

794
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we would always make and it would be a

795
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: rotating commissioner would have to go through sift through the

796
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: World Herald and add up all the touchdowns and all

797
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: the points and all the injury reports. It didn't matter

798
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: what ESPN was saying, our CBS, we all is all

799
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: just whatever the Omaha World Herald said and put in

800
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: print that's what we're going off of.

801
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: And now I'm watching the game on TV and then

802
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: yelling at my phone that hasn't updated. When I when

803
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: I seed, something happen like I need those points, like

804
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: let's go.

805
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I'll never forget We're I mean, this is fifteen

806
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 3: years ago now, but it was kind of when people

807
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: started using the laptops to do it. Fantasy football, and

808
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 3: ESPN showed that it was a running back for the

809
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals. I think went down with the season ending

810
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: injury on the very last practice before the season started,

811
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: and he was a top five running back. I forget

812
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: his name. This was a long time ago, Corey Taylor.

813
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: It could have been. And one of the guys drafted

814
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 3: him in the first round and we're like.

815
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

816
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 3: It was right there, they just said it. You know.

817
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: So it is amazing how how it's just right there

818
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 3: now it's turnkey.

819
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: Uh. Sometimes sometimes you have a moment just exactly like that.

820
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: What can you do? Like a fantasy draft just a

821
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: few years ago? Eric again, this guy, this guy, this

822
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: guy he uh he drafts Andrew Luck, right, and we're

823
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks before the start of the season.

824
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: He drafts, We're in draft and the branking news comes

825
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: out and Andrew Lux retired.

826
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: Out, and it's what do you do? That happens to

827
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 3: a lot of people.

828
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do?

829
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: Yep? Sorry man? Yeah?

830
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's exactly how I mean. He bad pick,

831
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: you know, drank his sorrows away and picked up I

832
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 2: think he at that point he kind of raged a

833
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: little bit and picked like three or four quarterbacks just

834
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: to over compensate. Yeah, it was wild, but.

835
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: Probably ended up with Kirk Cousins.

836
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: He probably did. That's actually if we look back, he

837
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: probably did. Yeah. Yeah, and he does good fantasy into

838
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: into sports betting, into what is taking over the world

839
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: now the prediction markets. Oh yeah, and you and I

840
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: really we really like the prediction markets. Anyone who listens

841
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: to WTL knows that what what's your like, what's your thoughts? Like?

842
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: Is this something that's gonna just be? Because right now

843
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: it's it's the wild West? It is wild West.

844
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: And uh, for this week's episode of WTL, I got

845
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 3: some more uh just zingers, just mind boggling, like what

846
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 3: is going on, like real trades that are just just

847
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 3: put into it, I don't know it like takes the

848
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 3: veil away. Yeah.

849
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

850
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: And there's some outrage over a person. This is a

851
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 3: and I'll get all the stats WTL, but for this, uh,

852
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: a politician actually put a trade out that he would

853
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: not make his next hearing and he'd been promoting it

854
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 3: on his socials that he would be there, and how

855
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: much he's going to light the room on fire and

856
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 3: tell those Democrats or those Republicans, what's up? And uh

857
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: he didn't show up course, and and he made like

858
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 3: one point two million dollars on this trade and it's

859
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: being investigated now, and I'm just like, hey, that's that's

860
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 3: the world that we live in now. And there's another

861
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 3: a very There's hundreds and hundreds of these stories like

862
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 3: that where a store owner or something the same type

863
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: of deal as if he was going to be open

864
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 3: or closed, and he made a bet on himself and

865
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: did the opposite did did that?

866
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

867
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: And everyone's I'm like, I think this is kind of

868
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 3: good because now the top five percent gets in on

869
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: the action, not just the top one percenters like abody

870
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 3: get it. Yeah, I'm supposed to be outraged at this

871
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: business owner or I always bring up the super Bowl streaker.

872
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, piss on it.

873
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: But I think it's kind of fun now. I think

874
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: it might be the demise of humanity, but let's have

875
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 3: some fun going out.

876
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: To you to your point there with the super Bowl streaker.

877
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: So super Bowl streaker, there's always the bet will there

878
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 2: be one or not? That's tailors all the time. But

879
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: to put it on the prediction market and then to

880
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 2: be able to bet on yourself there and then maybe

881
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 2: and then do it. Uh, this guy does it, and

882
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: then I think they didn't allow him. Yeah, they just

883
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: changed the rules and said, oh no, we don't have

884
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 2: to pay him, which is wild. It's yeah, because all

885
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: these other trades are fine. And when you know a

886
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 2: politician does this, you know they make a big investment

887
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 2: or buy a lot of stock in this company, and

888
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: then less than a.

889
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 3: Week later they passed the legislation. They just opens the

890
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 3: floodgates for that said company. That's just everyone knows that happens.

891
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 3: Everyone sees how it's going on with these I would

892
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 3: say top one percenters now, Yeah, and then this schmuck

893
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 3: that wants to run across the football field naked, he

894
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 3: scams the system and it's like, no, we're not gonna

895
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 3: pay you. It's so it does. There's still that aggravation

896
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: like I was talking about earlier, where it just feels

897
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: like everybody knows where you belong and you just have

898
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 3: to stay there. So, but it's happening so fast with

899
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 3: these prediction markets, they can't keep up with all of it. Yeah,

900
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 3: So there's still and if anything, it just puts more

901
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 3: fuel on the fire.

902
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: When you say wild West, I mean it. It is

903
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: very much. We me on our on on WTL, you know,

904
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 2: every week we bring you know, some trades to the

905
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 2: to the marketplace. But the thing is some of them

906
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: pretty outlandish, pretty wild. Yeah, they're happening.

907
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 3: They're happening. They are happening, you know, and people will

908
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 3: try to take this moral high ground and and I

909
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 3: think it's kind of gross and sick, but betting on

910
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: like deaths in a war like Ukraine and stuff like this,

911
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 3: or how long it's gonna last. And yeah, that's grotesque

912
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: and wrong, and you don't want to do that. But

913
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 3: if you regulate it and you take it off the table,

914
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 3: no you didn't do that, that that's voids still going

915
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 3: to be filled. It just moves to the black market. Then,

916
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 3: so like you're you're actually not solving the problem. If anything,

917
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: you're putting the people that want to bet on that

918
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 3: and even more peril because now they're dealing with people

919
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: that you know, it's not out in front, it's not

920
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: out open, it's not FanDuel predicts. Yeah, it's it's Larry

921
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: with the book that's not messing around, right, you know.

922
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: So it's just I don't know. I don't. I don't

923
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: know what the answer is. I really don't. And you

924
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: can say the same for the AI bubble. I I

925
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: I do think it's good that if for no other reason,

926
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 3: it's really just taking the veil off and then you

927
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 3: see what's going on, like in real time on X

928
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: Grock will tell you that's a lie that never happened.

929
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 3: I think that's a good thing.

930
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean in grock community notes, those types

931
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: of things, those have changed the game because anymore, right,

932
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: you don't know what's like. It really just looks so real,

933
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 2: it does.

934
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, once again, how do you how do you keep

935
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 3: up with that?

936
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 2: All?

937
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 3: I I really I don't have the answers to it.

938
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: And on our you know, on WTL on Where's the Line,

939
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 3: that's what I want to do most is just take

940
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 3: that veil off and show every buddy how insane this

941
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: really is. Uh Brendan Sorosby, how crazy is that?

942
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he being allowed to play now.

943
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: He's just playing the system and everyone's mad and an upheaval.

944
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 3: But once again, it's just showing you that the NC

945
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 3: double as a joke, always has been there are no rules.

946
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 3: If you can get your cronies, your higher ups. You're

947
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,959
Speaker 3: one percenters in the courtroom on your side.

948
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 2: Yep. So I gotta do you just gotta be part

949
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: of that class I have I have a question about that.

950
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: But a quick recap of what that brand of soorsby

951
00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: quarterback Texas Tech. Now he thousands and thousand, some thousands

952
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: of dollars in bets, some of them on the team

953
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 2: that he played on. Now he didn't play in the game,

954
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 2: supposedly whatever.

955
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: On thee he was on.

956
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: Correct, NCAA says, no go, your eligibility's gone as per

957
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: ever forever. But he's gotten a court in Texas UH

958
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: to say no, you are eligible to play. And so

959
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: now right now he's the quarterback again of Texas Tech,

960
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: and other schools are saying, well, now we're not gonna

961
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: schedule Texas Tech. Do you blame Texas Tech? I mean,

962
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: where does Texas Tech?

963
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: I guess where is there moral compass? Get out of here?

964
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: When as soon as the ni all started and it

965
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 3: came above the table, then all bets are off. When

966
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 3: if they wouldn't have got away with it if it

967
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: was still under the table, and you know Alabama and

968
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 3: the SEC doing what they usually do. That's also another

969
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: frustration is what is Texas Tech doing here? Why are

970
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 3: they in the top five, So that, once again being

971
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 3: me coming from that underdog perspective, I like to see

972
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: Texas Tech doing their thing, shining light on how ridiculous

973
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 3: dn CUAA is. How hey, Alabama, if we pay our players,

974
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 3: we can win games too, you know. So I kind

975
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 3: of lift for the absurdity, and I like to see

976
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: the underdog get there, get their pie, get their due,

977
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 3: and that's what's going on here.

978
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 4: It is.

979
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: I find it very entertaining that one of the people

980
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: in the forefront saying this has to stop is Nick Saban,

981
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: who ran what had to be some under the table.

982
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 3: A little violin on playing right there. Can you hear it? Yeah,

983
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:33,479
Speaker 3: because as.

984
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: Soon as it was a level playing field, he got

985
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: out all together.

986
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, and like Pat McAfee calling him out on

987
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 3: live television and him just glaring at him, you know

988
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 3: what's up exactly? You know, otherwise you would have he

989
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 3: would have shot right back. We never did that, Yeah

990
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 3: you did, yeah, you did, you know?

991
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: Uh?

992
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was so unfair where Alabama and Georgia would

993
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 3: stockpile three and four five star quarterbacks and no one

994
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 3: else would get a shot at that kid.

995
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

996
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 3: Uh so once again, and to be clear, I don't

997
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: think Soresby should be eligible. Yeah he is. That he

998
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: is threatening the integrity of the game, and you really

999
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 3: do have to at least have that last thin little

1000
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 3: veil that it actually matters that what I'm watching on

1001
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: TV could happen, even though like him, love him, hit him.

1002
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 3: Nebraska old coach Bo Planey when they invented time in

1003
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 3: the Big Twelve championship game and gave Texas an extra second,

1004
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 3: and it sounds like sour grape. So I'm just being

1005
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 3: it's true, It's true, and it was. I think it

1006
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: was the first time that year in college football they

1007
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: actually added time to the clock. And Ione's like, oh yeah,

1008
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 3: but look at the ball went out of balance. And

1009
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 3: then then the uh some doof fan from Washington State

1010
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 3: rewatched the game and watched the runoff after every plane

1011
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 3: was an average of three seconds every play. So I'm like, okay, well,

1012
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 3: if that's what we're gonna do, we need to take

1013
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 3: every single play there, you know, all eighty five plays

1014
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 3: of that game times three.

1015
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: And us that one second plus one second.

1016
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's do that. Then no, we just put

1017
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 3: one second on. So Texas gets there. Uh, their chance

1018
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: in Texas, you want to talk about the ultimate one percent?

1019
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: There it is, you know.

1020
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 3: But I kind of admire Texas. They they know the villain,

1021
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: they played the villain, whether it's the Southwest Conference, the

1022
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: Big twelve Conference. They're coming in there to wreck it

1023
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: and to run it and to own it. And they

1024
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 3: make no bunes about it.

1025
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 2: So Matthew McConaughey is like the perfect guy to be

1026
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 2: like the face of it too, because he's so likable,

1027
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 2: but he's also kind of like over the top confident

1028
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 2: in it.

1029
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 3: What a weird dichotomy because then Bo Polainey's the underdog

1030
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 3: and he's so hate heable and does nothing to help

1031
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: the program. And here we are just fighting to like

1032
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 3: just be relevant, and here you are swinging your caps

1033
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 3: at revs, cussing on live television, calling you what do

1034
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 3: you call the fans?

1035
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 2: He didn't have any good words for the man.

1036
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: Fans, fucking fans.

1037
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: Brandon Sooresby, you saw him live from the sidelines last

1038
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 2: season when he was quarterback for Cincinnati.

1039
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was fun.

1040
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 2: You were working sideline for that game at aarhead State

1041
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 2: of Nebraska versus Cincinnati when you were right there whe

1042
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 2: he threw the game clinching loss for him interception. You

1043
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: think you threw the game?

1044
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 3: Oh see that, Now that comes into question. Yeah, because

1045
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 3: the joke I had about that was swarmsby He can

1046
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: out run the Nebraska defense, but he can also outrun

1047
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: the law. Like this guy, he's worth every penny. He's

1048
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 3: worth every every penny of the Texas Tech.

1049
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: No.

1050
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: I just I think he's he's that dual threat quarterback

1051
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 3: that you know. He doesn't throw the most Chris Ball

1052
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 3: and that was at the end of the game. Had

1053
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 3: to make a play, just wanted to get it to

1054
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 3: the end zone and Hartzog give him his due. He's

1055
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 3: the corner that everybody likes to beat up on. He's

1056
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 3: the guy that went up and got it. Yeah, that

1057
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 3: that play was about fifteen yards from me. That happened

1058
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 3: right in front of me. So that was pretty cool.

1059
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: And you can find your because you filmed it. Yeah,

1060
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: you can't find the footage of that one.

1061
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's on news Shan. You go in the archives

1062
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 3: on the website. Our YouTube channel, I'm sure has highlights

1063
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: from that game. That Jake and I Jake helps us

1064
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: out with NASCAR, but we were there working that the

1065
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 3: whole time, and we did halftime hits. It It was

1066
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 3: just a blast. I've I've never heard a crowd so

1067
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: loud and intense, and you know, Arrowheads kind of that

1068
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 3: packs it in there and everyone's on top of each other,

1069
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 3: and that game had it all. You know, we're just

1070
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 3: cleaning on to a win. It was the first game

1071
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: of the season, so a lot of excitement and you

1072
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 3: had to get that first one. You had to get

1073
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 3: that first win if anything else was going to happen

1074
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 3: on down the line. So you felt that that energy,

1075
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 3: but also you knew everybody in that stadium knew that.

1076
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 2: Nebraska has to get You got to get the stop here.

1077
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And and and for it to end in

1078
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: a in a pick a takeaway for the defense just

1079
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 3: hit that crescendo.

1080
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 4: It was.

1081
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: It really was something I'll never forget.

1082
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 2: That's awesome. So the Chiefs Arrowhead, they are moving across

1083
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 2: the state lines. Yeah, your team, the Bears sound like

1084
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 2: chance they're going to do the same thing.

1085
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: I think they're going to, I really do.

1086
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this?

1087
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 3: You know they're always going to be the Chicago Bears,

1088
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 3: just like the Cowboys are always going to be the

1089
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. Forty nine ers, always gonna be the San

1090
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine ers. But they don't play in San Francisco.

1091
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys don't play in Dallas. So this is just this

1092
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 3: same old thing and everyone will forget about it in

1093
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 3: a year or two. And if Chicago really did love

1094
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 3: their team and wanted the Bears to stay there, they

1095
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 3: would have been doing things twenty thirty years ago to

1096
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 3: keep that. Instead, like we're kind of talking about earlier,

1097
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 3: a lot of greed got in the way. And on

1098
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 3: both sides, you can say, but I think the city

1099
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 3: really compared to what other NFL teams are getting, the

1100
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 3: city of Chicago is kind of they're taking a big

1101
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 3: swig of their own medicine here. Oh yeah, they're getting

1102
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: they're getting put to bed.

1103
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, at least they're not.

1104
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 3: I don't feel sorry for him, I really don't. They

1105
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 3: didn't make any concessions whatsoever. They'll they'll grandstand and say

1106
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 3: things and they'll try and put it back on the

1107
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 3: Bears being mean to the taxpayers, and the taxpayers like, no,

1108
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 3: we love the Bears. We actually hate you, Yes, the suits,

1109
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 3: you exactly. You got this all wrong.

1110
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: Business decision.

1111
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a business decision, and they will always

1112
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 3: be the Chicago Bears. To me, nothing like that's going

1113
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 3: to change. But now I get to go to a

1114
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 3: nice new stadium, more amenities, is probably gonna be more

1115
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 3: fan friendly. I just see it all as the positive.

1116
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 3: I'm even coming around to my Oakland Athletics.

1117
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 2: So it's well, they're in Vegas, they're playing in Vegas

1118
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 2: this week.

1119
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 3: I just saw a rendition of their new stadium that

1120
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 3: they're building in Las Vegas. That place is going to

1121
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 3: be awesome, so they So once again it's you're going

1122
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 3: from a town that didn't appreciate you. They didn't pony up.

1123
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 3: There was a laughing stock of the league and dilapidated.

1124
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 3: I just thought that was insane that there was two

1125
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 3: or three times a year they'd just be standing sewage

1126
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 3: water in the dugout, just shit water where the where

1127
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 3: you're where Aaron Judge is standing.

1128
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 2: And is like raccoons in the bread box and like

1129
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 2: famously yeah, raccoons.

1130
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 3: And possums above the broadcasters, you know, like unbelievable. So

1131
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 3: Oakland more so than Chicago. I'd say they did their

1132
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 3: part to lose their team, both their teams and Vegas.

1133
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

1134
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 3: To their credit, they're like, what do you want right?

1135
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well it's like, yeah, as a Chargers fan, moving

1136
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 2: from San Diego to LA that's tough. I still think

1137
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 2: it was the bad move.

1138
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 3: I do think that was bad.

1139
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: But it's like for me living here in middle of America,

1140
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 2: what did it change? Nothing? But but for the fans there,

1141
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 2: oh man, what a disaster.

1142
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 3: Now. That one kind of reminded me of you know,

1143
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: when the Browns left and there was no reason for

1144
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 3: the Browns to go to Baltimore that last time yep,

1145
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 3: that last time around. The fans still want them, would

1146
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 3: love the Browns so much that they actually sued the

1147
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 3: ownership and retained the name Browns. They had to change

1148
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 3: the name to the Ravens to move that team to Baltimore.

1149
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 3: But Baltimore was like, well, you know, we had the

1150
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 3: Colts and we lost them, so we got to make

1151
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 3: it right. We gotta gotta get a team back. So

1152
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's that's why I think we love

1153
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 3: college sports so much, because there still is that keep

1154
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 3: you using the word veil that they're playing for more

1155
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 3: than just the name on you know, the back of

1156
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 3: the jersey. With professional sports, it's blatant, it's in your face. No,

1157
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: this is for profit.

1158
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, college sports. The team's not moving away from him. No,

1159
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, they're always going to be there for better

1160
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: or worse than that. There's something to that.

1161
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, my university. I graduated from Perue State and they

1162
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 3: were threatening to move that to Nebraska City back in

1163
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: the day. And it's like, there's absolutely no way a

1164
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 3: half pick up all these old brick buildings right campus

1165
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 3: of a thousand oaks. You're just gonna subplant all these

1166
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 3: oak trees and move them up, you know, twenty miles. Yeah,

1167
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 3: there's just the University of Nebraska is always going to

1168
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 3: be in Nebraska. And same with the University of Miami.

1169
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 3: It's always going to be in Miami. So there is

1170
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 3: something to that, and I do think people need to

1171
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 3: wake up and understand that, uh right underneath that though,

1172
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 3: it is pay for play there, even even the Huskers

1173
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 3: back in the day. There's there's a reason that Dominican

1174
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 3: sue kid from Portland that didn't even know what Nebraska

1175
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 3: was came to Nebraska and if you dig into that,

1176
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 3: it's pretty obvious. Yeah, pretty obvious.

1177
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 2: But he gave back you. Sure he has given back.

1178
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some pretty good stories as to like, you

1179
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 3: better give back.

1180
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: Because there's some scolet Okay, I got I got some

1181
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,880

00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 2: is the song song by Cisco. What's your shower song?

1183
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 2: Oh man, what's your go to shower song? I guess

1184
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 2: I should say, you know, I kind of go through

1185
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: I go through waves of like I'm on a green day,

1186
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 2: red hot Chili, Pepper's bender where and then I'll then

Speaker 3: To Chevelle, you know. So then it's like send the

1189
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 3: pain below, you know, I'm just belting that out right now.

1190
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 3: Ashley has rediscovered Nelly.

1191
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 2: There you go.

1192
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 3: So and the kids really like Nelly and Ashley. It's

1193
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 3: kind of funny. She's trying to be very clear that

1194
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 3: there's like three or four words in these songs that

1195
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 3: you just you're.

1196
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 2: Not gonna say. They're just that that's a big no go.

1197
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: It's a big filler here.

1198
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 3: You can't say that, you know. And and uh so, yeah,

1199
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 3: Nelly every once in a while ride with me. But

1200
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 3: There's one song that I just never got the radio

1201
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 3: play because I feel like the band tried to go

1202
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 3: above and beyond and do it day away and it

1203
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 3: was just a random song that I found of theirs

1204
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 3: that I really liked, and it's from Fallout Boy. Hum hallelujah. Yeah,

1205
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 3: I love that song and it never really got any

1206
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 3: radio play because they tried to like distributed themselves or something.

1207
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 3: They ran into it with Sony or whoever, and it's

1208
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 3: it's a it's a damn good song, and I did

1209
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 3: I always. I'll go back to that one every now

1210
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 3: and then.

1211
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 2: So then, do you have like a speaker in the

1212
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 2: bathroom you play the music too? Or just going acappella?

01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 2: inviting me to.

1232
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 3: Be part of it. Appreciate that. No, and I you know,

1233
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 3: likewise Jabron was you know, moving back home to the

1234
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: ranch or you know, and one to get out of there.

1235
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 3: And I think it's important to have that in studio,

1236
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 3: live vibe, the back and forth. There's so much of

1237
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 3: that simulcaston type stuff where it's just talking heads on

1238
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 3: a zoom or whatever. Look, So I really appreciate you

1239
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 3: hop on board, stepping up. You know, I don't know

1240
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: if sports betting was what you necessarily, but that also

1241
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 3: speaks to what my vision for that show was. This

1242
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 3: is entertainment first and foremost, like all sports is. I

1243
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 3: don't care if it's Nebraska football, Oakland Athletics whatever they

1244
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 3: are now, Las Vegas Athletics, baseball. It's entertainment first, yes,

1245
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 3: and then putting that lens on it of coming through

1246
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 3: a sports betting perspective, it just gives it another level

1247
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 3: of I don't know, intrigue and fun, you know, something

1248
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 3: new and different. And to be quite honest, I didn't

1249
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 3: want to end up like I've seen a few guys

1250
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 3: in the sports broadcasting field they're like eighty, barely holding

1251
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 3: on and they're talking about sixteen year olds or seventeen

1252
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 3: year olds playing ball. I was like, ooh that, I

1253
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 3: don't know, I just did. That doesn't look it. But

1254
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 3: if you take the sports betting, it's more mature. Look

1255
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 3: it's an older audience. Maybe I can hold on for

1256
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 3: a couple more years talking sports. You're well on your way, man, Yeah,

1257
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 3: well on your way. I thank you so much for

1258
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 3: let me be a part of it. What do you

1259
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 3: got to promote? What do you want to want to

1260
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 3: plug here at the end? You know WTL Man, that's uh,

1261
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 3: that's where we we kind of met and hit it off,

1262
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 3: and that show is taken off. We joined that believed

1263
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 3: network they've been doing wonders for us. Uh, it's it's

1264
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 3: quite humbling to see and kind of intimidating. I mean,

1265
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 3: like with with this show that you're on right now

1266
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 3: checking some of those you know, analytics and numbers. It's

1267
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 3: wild to think there's that many people listening to.

1268
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: My take is it's cool, but yes, that there's there's

1269
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 2: a weight to it.

1270
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I was used to it on

1271
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 3: a on a much lower level with the sports broadcasting,

1272
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 3: but that really reaches Nebraska fans on like a high

1273
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 3: school or small college level, you know. But uh, the WTL,
