Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Wednesday of Pizza Wednesday. Morale is
Speaker 2: getting a little higher. Dylan is doing the honors here
Speaker 2: with Billy Tips. He is his sous chef out there
Speaker 2: with the Rectech grills. The pizza menu today is.
Speaker 3: We have a Cajun gumbo pizza, perchance, a Dan Patrick
Speaker 3: Show original hot Honey, Pepperoni and bacon pizza, and then
Speaker 3: Todd's iconic classic cheese pizza.
Speaker 2: All right, who has it better than we do?
Speaker 4: Nobody?
Speaker 2: You got a big project coming up? Chat gpt is
Speaker 2: a new agent for larger projects. Chat gpt work give
Speaker 2: it a goal, help turn scattered materials into finished work.
Speaker 2: It's started at chatgpt dot com selecting work mode. Available
Speaker 2: on Plus and pro plans. You got the WNBA on
Speaker 2: NBC in Peacocks Sunday page Beckers against Olivia Miles. I
Speaker 2: love that matchup. WNBA live on NBC and Peacock. You
Speaker 2: can also see this program on Peacock download the app
Speaker 2: if you haven't done so. We will talk to the
Speaker 2: former bookmaker and the guy who took all those vets
Speaker 2: from show. Hey Otani's interpreter Matt Boyer. He will join
Speaker 2: us coming up momentarily. Terry Scooble he pitched Okay, Bigger picture.
Speaker 2: Dodgers lost again. He made his debut at Wrigley Thursday
Speaker 2: Night Hall of Fame game. Carson Beck versus Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 2: The Falcons have lost Jalen Walker. He's got a torn
Speaker 2: acl The Ravens lock up Zay Flowers. He got paid.
Speaker 2: The Bears locked up offensive tackle Darnell Wright. So those
Speaker 2: are some of your headlines, by the way, Because of
Speaker 2: the nature of the payment, the live tourt still owes
Speaker 2: John Rahm about one hundred and fifty million dollars. Good
Speaker 2: luck yet that now he's earned almost one hundred million
Speaker 2: dollars in live earnings already. But they could file bankruptcy
Speaker 2: and full liquidation, and then John Rahm would probably not
Speaker 2: get paid one hundred and fifty million dollars that he's owed.
Speaker 2: A lot of these guys who first went to live
Speaker 2: they got most of that money up front. John ram
Speaker 2: had it on the back end. But it looks like
Speaker 2: he might get the hundred million that he's earned, but
Speaker 2: not the one hundred and fifty that he's owed. How
Speaker 2: how can you declare bankruptcy with a you know, the
Speaker 2: Saudi Fund, they've got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
Speaker 2: billions of dollars. That's the curious part of this that
Speaker 2: you're going to say that this portion is bankrupt here, okay,
Speaker 2: And I don't know how John rom fights this, hybe.
Speaker 2: It's just that you're declaring bankruptcy. Chapter seven bankruptcy as
Speaker 2: opposed to chapter eleven. I think chapter eleven is restructuring.
Speaker 2: Chapter seven, for bankruptcy is full liquidation. If I know
Speaker 2: my bankruptcy laws here, but I don't know if bankruptcy
Speaker 2: would help them. Maybe they renegotiate what they owe Jen Rahm,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but does this go to a higher court,
Speaker 2: like for one hundred and fifty million dollars? I don't
Speaker 2: know the other golfers who were involved in this on
Speaker 2: who would be on the back end as far as
Speaker 2: their payments. I think Bryson de Shamba was that there
Speaker 2: were talks of, you know, five hundred million dollar extension.
Speaker 2: Obviously that's not happening, but yeah, just interesting stuff.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: It feels like the Live tour was on life support
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, oh there's going to
Speaker 2: be an influx of money. They're going to try to
Speaker 2: keep this going. Everything I've heard since January is it
Speaker 2: was going to die of slow death, and that's exactly
Speaker 2: what's happened. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: According to Golf Monthly, the Live Tour is still actively
Speaker 6: participating in events the Bedminster this week, and the new CEO,
Speaker 6: Scott Neil, is still in talks with investors about having
Speaker 6: some type of season next year.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, good luck with that, Matt Boyer. No, I mean,
Speaker 2: I still don't know how they thought this was going
Speaker 2: to be something that people were going to watch and
Speaker 2: it was all of a sudden going to Now. Has
Speaker 2: the PGA Tour benefited Absolutely. Have they adopted some of
Speaker 2: the things that Live was presenting. Absolutely, But you're trying
Speaker 2: to do this around the world and people just weren't interested.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dylan, Yes, I'm seeing Actually, like just today it
Speaker 3: says that they've secured funding from an unnamed investor that
Speaker 3: will keep the circuit alive, But it seems like that
Speaker 3: would basically just cover what's owed to golfers right now.
Speaker 3: So it's like putting a band aid on a musketball.
Speaker 3: There's still the larger issue of like Maintaining and running.
Speaker 2: The League Age seven to seven to three DP show
Speaker 2: Get to Your Phone Calls. He is the two time
Speaker 2: Amazon best selling author speak speaker. He was the bookmaker
Speaker 2: at the center of the show Heyo Tani epe Misuhara
Speaker 2: sports betting scandal. Matt Boyer was sentenced to one year
Speaker 2: in a day pleading guilty for money laundering, falsified tax returns,
Speaker 2: illegal book making. I talked to him after yesterday's show,
Speaker 2: and I started out by asking him, when is the
Speaker 2: first time you took a bet from Sho Heeo Tani's interpreter.
Speaker 8: I believe it's twenty twenty one, that the end of
Speaker 8: the the end of the season of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: How were you introduced?
Speaker 8: I actually met him at a poker game after I
Speaker 8: was introduced to him by going to a private booker
Speaker 8: game with some of the Angels players and coaches and
Speaker 8: friends at a local hilton in San Diego.
Speaker 2: When did you realize that he worked for show Hair, I.
Speaker 8: Mean I knew right away, of course, I mean who didn't,
Speaker 8: right He was such a popular character, probably the most
Speaker 8: popular interpreter in the world thanks to show.
Speaker 2: Hey of course, at what's your role as a bookie
Speaker 2: of keeping somebody betting, but also is there a sympathetic
Speaker 2: side to being a bookie when you realize somebody is
Speaker 2: in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a fine line.
Speaker 8: As a legal book maker, you're giving out credit, and
Speaker 8: it's a tough way of trying to make a living
Speaker 8: but also not being greedy and egotistical and then trying
Speaker 8: to maintain giving someone in a relationship to where you're
Speaker 8: not hurting their family or their situation with their bills
Speaker 8: or It's a very fine line. The more you get
Speaker 8: to know the person and more you underst stand them
Speaker 8: and what they do for a living, then the more
Speaker 8: you can help them if they are having a gambling problem,
Speaker 8: which you know, I personally had one as well, so
Speaker 8: I understand that dynamic better than anyone. But you're right,
Speaker 8: it's a it's a hard line to figure out, and
Speaker 8: sometimes they're Oftentimes they're lying to you because they're gambling
Speaker 8: with you and they want to give you them an
Speaker 8: impression that it's not affecting them, you know, at home
Speaker 8: or financially, because they want to continue to bet with
Speaker 8: you or get credit or ask you for more credit.
Speaker 7: So those are the situations that come up. They're hard to.
Speaker 8: I'm going to say, run and figure out, because when
Speaker 8: you are dealing with these people, you know, at least
Speaker 8: in my case, you have a heart. I mean, the
Speaker 8: last thing you want to see is if someone just
Speaker 8: losing more money than.
Speaker 7: They can afford.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at what point are you allowed or do
Speaker 2: you ask that's a lot of money you're betting to
Speaker 2: show Hey. No, you're betting this.
Speaker 8: Truth be told. When EPA came to me, it was
Speaker 8: a tiny account. It was one thousand and eight thousand
Speaker 8: dollars credit line, so I you know, initially I thought
Speaker 8: it was no big deal, and then that escalated very
Speaker 8: rapidly to the point of about thirty days later we
Speaker 8: were at a half a million to a million dollar
Speaker 8: credit line. And then I knew at that point it
Speaker 8: had to be either show Hay or him together, or
Speaker 8: maybe he, you know, had some funds.
Speaker 7: I didn't know about him.
Speaker 8: You really don't know everyone's personal private lifestyle. Maybe he
Speaker 8: was a large investor in something. But then when I
Speaker 8: started getting into the point of millions and millions, then
Speaker 8: I knew that either show Hey was involved or they
Speaker 8: were partners. I wasn't really sure, and I didn't ask
Speaker 8: a lot of questions because animinity in my business when
Speaker 8: I was running a book making operation was key. I
Speaker 8: had a lot of clients in celebrities and athletes CEOs
Speaker 8: that were very private and that's why they liked working
Speaker 8: with me because of that privacy. But at the same time,
Speaker 8: I was being paid, you know, five hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 8: every two weeks. So the greedy sided me of running
Speaker 8: a business and making a lot of money was just like,
Speaker 8: you know, everything's running smoothly. He's not even making any
Speaker 8: signs of you know, panicking or even really was laughing
Speaker 8: and making fun of himself quite often. If you look
Speaker 8: at the text messages that the government throughout, which is
Speaker 8: there was quite a few of them, you could see
Speaker 8: us joking back and forth about both of us being
Speaker 8: degenerates and losing money through book makers, slash casinos, etc.
Speaker 2: So you didn't know that sho Hey O Tani knew
Speaker 2: not for a fact, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean I didn't have a relationship with show Hey
Speaker 7: at that time.
Speaker 8: He spoke very little English. And I've been around the
Speaker 8: team and some players. I used to play golf with
Speaker 8: some of the players and gamble with them, and quite
Speaker 8: a few of the Angels players were betting through my organization,
Speaker 8: but my relationship was with DPE. I never spoke about
Speaker 8: anything outside of that to even the players, even like,
Speaker 8: for example, some of the players were betting with me,
Speaker 8: I wouldn't discuss their business with the other players.
Speaker 7: That being said, I don't think a lot.
Speaker 8: Of these guys knew I'm saying I'm talking about the
Speaker 8: Angels players knew the extent of what was going on
Speaker 8: because EPA was very private, didn't have a lot to say,
Speaker 8: you know, very very wanted things to be low key.
Speaker 8: I realized now why at the time I thought, personally,
Speaker 8: I thought show he was betting with him, because the
Speaker 8: amount of bets that they were making and clearly an
Speaker 8: amount of money that was being wired.
Speaker 7: I just figured he had.
Speaker 8: To have known, especially with that long period of time
Speaker 8: and you're seeing five hundred thousand OAR wires come out
Speaker 8: about to count every two weeks.
Speaker 7: For basically a year and a half.
Speaker 8: I just, even to this day, I still don't understand
Speaker 8: how Showhy didn't wasn't aware. I do believe wholeheartedly that
Speaker 8: he never gambled. I don't think he was placing any
Speaker 8: of the bets or involved in that part at all.
Speaker 2: He's Matt Boyer, two time Amazon best selling author and
Speaker 2: at the center of the show. Hey Utani, if a
Speaker 2: Musicuhara sports betting scandal, how many athletes give us a
Speaker 2: sense are betting this way that you dealt with that
Speaker 2: we're betting through a booking, I asked him.
Speaker 7: At least fifth.
Speaker 8: It's probably even higher because the reality is everyone's using
Speaker 8: third party people and beards and people to vet through.
Speaker 7: You know, let's be real.
Speaker 8: Competitive athletes are very competitive in everything they do, and
Speaker 8: sports is if you're a sports fan, as you and
Speaker 8: I both are, we watch all sports, and whether you
Speaker 8: gamble or not, you generally like to have some sort
Speaker 8: of play in the game, whether it's fantasy betting a friend,
Speaker 8: you know, you go, I don't know about you.
Speaker 7: Do you even golf?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 2: I golf. I'm a guy who gambled a long, long,
Speaker 2: long time ago and quit cold turkey.
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 7: You, so you don't gamble on the golf course? Five bucks?
Speaker 7: Seven bucks?
Speaker 9: Nothink?
Speaker 8: Okay, that's rare, right, I mean if you if you
Speaker 8: go to a golf course, you'll see that most people
Speaker 8: that golf. Whether they gamble a lot or little, it's
Speaker 8: usually a dollar or five dollars, twenty dollars whatever. Most
Speaker 8: people gamble almost everything they do when it comes to that.
Speaker 8: I think athletes are even higher because the fact they're
Speaker 8: so competitive and they like to win it all cost But.
Speaker 2: Of course there's current athletes, Matt, these are current leads
Speaker 2: who are still betting.
Speaker 7: Definitely, Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2: How many bookies are there left in America?
Speaker 8: Millions? I mean they're everywhere, literally throughout the country. There's
Speaker 8: at least a million book makers. Now, some of them
Speaker 8: might only have ten or twenty clients, you know, very small.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of small operations that are just local
Speaker 8: bookmakers at golf courses or whatnot.
Speaker 7: But there's millions.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just didn't know if it was a shrinking
Speaker 2: because you have all these other gambling sites where you
Speaker 2: can go and do it above board. But a lot
Speaker 2: of guys love that, you know, they're not paying taxes
Speaker 2: that you know, you can do it in a clandestine way.
Speaker 2: So what's next for you?
Speaker 8: You know, I'm excited about this journey. I'm rebuilding, as
Speaker 8: you know you just said, I have two books that
Speaker 8: I produced one of them. I just did right when
Speaker 8: I got out of prison, and public speaking and giving
Speaker 8: back to people that you know, maybe hopefully NFL.
Speaker 7: Teams, NBA teams, college athlete.
Speaker 8: I'd like to go to these schools and you know,
Speaker 8: universities and give a public speaking event to where I
Speaker 8: can help these kids avoid going down the wrong path.
Speaker 8: I have the best experience because I've been on both sides,
Speaker 8: not always a gambler, but as a bookmaker and dealing
Speaker 8: with athletes, and I understand that it's easy to follow
Speaker 8: into that trap of you know, not only betting yourself,
Speaker 8: but maybe trying to sway a game, you know, fixing
Speaker 8: a game to make a few extra dollars, especially these
Speaker 8: college athletes. And now you're singing in with all these
Speaker 8: pros that are you know, Terry Rosier and Chauncey Billups
Speaker 8: and guys that you would never anticipate getting into trouble
Speaker 8: because they're wealthy and you know they're NBA athletes. But
Speaker 8: it's sad that it's happening. If I could persuade a
Speaker 8: kid from doing that, or a professional athlete, then by
Speaker 8: giving a public speaking event, then I feel like I'm
Speaker 8: doing something great. So I plan on doing that and
Speaker 8: just building my personal brand.
Speaker 2: Did you take any action? Were there any suspicious bets
Speaker 2: where you thought somebody might be fixing a game?
Speaker 8: You know, just in the US, there was a particular
Speaker 8: fight that I saw a lot of people coming in
Speaker 8: vetting on and there was a fight that was rigged
Speaker 8: and they got caught and they obviously got barred from
Speaker 8: the UFC tennis matches. I saw quite a bit lower level,
Speaker 8: you know, like the two three hundred, top three hundred
Speaker 8: players in the in the nation, not these high level
Speaker 8: ones that I'm aware of, you know, top twenty, top
Speaker 8: one hundred. So those are the usually the guys who
Speaker 8: are really not making a ton of money, that are,
Speaker 8: you know, trying to find other edges to make an
Speaker 8: earning on the side, sadly the wrong way.
Speaker 2: If I ask you to fix a sporting event, which
Speaker 2: one are you fixing?
Speaker 8: Tennis is the easiest by far, not even close, I mean,
Speaker 8: because you can make it so unobvious by you know,
Speaker 8: just playing a particular set or a game for example,
Speaker 8: you know, tennis works you got to win, and men's
Speaker 8: usually three out of five. I mean, you could just
Speaker 8: throw set one, come back and win the next you
Speaker 8: know three, And if you throw set one and you're
Speaker 8: a favorite, especially then the underdog is the value.
Speaker 2: Is very big on that sounds like that's happened many times.
Speaker 8: I mean, if you think about it in tennis, drat
Speaker 8: to tennis wise, you still win. So the guy who
Speaker 8: threw set one can still win the match and still
Speaker 8: get paid and still keep his status, and nobody really
Speaker 8: gets harmed in that sense in his mind. Of course,
Speaker 8: there's somebody getting harmed who's gambling on the sport and
Speaker 8: has basically betting a bet that they're going to lose,
Speaker 8: and they.
Speaker 7: Don't even know it.
Speaker 8: And the integrity of the sport more importantly is the problem.
Speaker 8: And that's that's what I hate to see more than anything.
Speaker 8: I knew in twenty eighteen when gambling became legal this
Speaker 8: was going to happen, and I've been saying it even
Speaker 8: before I went to prison, that it's only going to
Speaker 8: get worse. And really, what you're going to see the
Speaker 8: sad part is these young kids. You know, I have
Speaker 8: five children, and three of them are young adults who
Speaker 8: have their you know, boyfriends or kids come over and
Speaker 8: I hear it all day long.
Speaker 7: They're all gambling and they're young.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and well I agree that. Yeah, that's a sweet
Speaker 2: spot of eighteen to twenty four. Men keeps saying I've
Speaker 2: been down that road, and thank god I wise enough
Speaker 2: to quit gambling because I see where we're headed with this.
Speaker 2: Are you worried about your safety at all through all
Speaker 2: of this?
Speaker 7: No, definitely not. I mean, don't get me wrong. Anything
Speaker 7: can happen, especially this crazy world we're living in it.
Speaker 8: But you know I've been I made my peace with everybody.
Speaker 8: I've done everything I can to make it right. And
Speaker 8: you know, I'm not an angel. I've done some things
Speaker 8: in my life I'm not so proud of, but I've done.
Speaker 7: More than I am proud of.
Speaker 8: So I don't I don't really have any any means
Speaker 8: per se that are looking for me.
Speaker 2: So no, thanks for joining us, Matt, Good luck with
Speaker 2: the journey.
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me, Dan, I really appreciate spending honor.
Speaker 2: That's Matt Boyer. We did the interview yesterday after the show. Look,
Speaker 2: I don't want to glamorize anything with this person. I
Speaker 2: know he's got an agenda. I know that he's got
Speaker 2: to make money. You know, the government ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: From what I'm told, probably wants to look at doing
Speaker 2: a movie deal on this. So there's a lot involved,
Speaker 2: you know, the tennis aspect of fixing a tennis match,
Speaker 2: and we've had examples of this. It's happened recently. The
Speaker 2: number of players athletes who do bet through bookies. Now,
Speaker 2: there was no DraftKings or FanDuel. When I was growing up,
Speaker 2: I bet through a bookie. If I was growing up now,
Speaker 2: i'd be all over that app. I wouldn't be going
Speaker 2: through a bookie. But a lot of people don't want
Speaker 2: people to know what they're doing. They don't want you
Speaker 2: to be able to follow their activity that they want
Speaker 2: to be able to do something clean. It's with somebody.
Speaker 2: You don't know how much I'm making or how much
Speaker 2: I lost, so there's less of a paper trail. I
Speaker 2: understand that it's going to continue. That's why I wanted
Speaker 2: to know how many bookies. I was told there's probably
Speaker 2: ten real bookies left in America. Like prominent bookies. Now
Speaker 2: you have guys who will take some action, But as
Speaker 2: far as true bookies, a source told me probably ten
Speaker 2: major players in America. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2: Get the phone calls coming up. We're back after this
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Rob Parker and Calvin Washington from The Odd
Speaker 2: Couple on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 10: And in addition to hearing us live weeknights from seven
Speaker 10: to ten pm Eastern on Fox Sports Radio, we are
Speaker 10: excited to announce brand new YouTube channel for the show.
Speaker 2: That's right, You can now watch The Odd Couple live
Speaker 2: on YouTube every day.
Speaker 10: All you gotta do search Odd Couple FSR on YouTube.
Speaker 10: Again YouTube, Just search Odd Couple FSR. Check us out
Speaker 10: on YouTube and subscribe.
Speaker 2: Full disclosure. I did have some trepidation about out having
Speaker 2: the bookmaker for Shoheo Tani's interpreter on because and I've
Speaker 2: talked about this and I speak from firsthand experience. If
Speaker 2: I was eighteen nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty two and
Speaker 2: I had a chance to bet whenever I wanted to bet,
Speaker 2: and I could do that on an app. And yes,
Speaker 2: I know I DraftKings is a sponsor, But if you
Speaker 2: do it, and you do it, and you do it wisely,
Speaker 2: you can have fun, it can be entertainment for you.
Speaker 2: But the problem I see is knowing firsthand. And I
Speaker 2: was actually good at it. I walked away with a profit,
Speaker 2: but I needed a devastating loss to walk away, and
Speaker 2: that's what happened. I lost thirty three hundred dollars on
Speaker 2: a Bowl game, and my bookie actually talked me out
Speaker 2: of the winning side, and I'm thankful that he did,
Speaker 2: because if I won that, I might be still betting.
Speaker 2: And I just know you you don't own that money.
Speaker 2: You rent that money. So having him on, I wanted
Speaker 2: to kind of understand, you know, what is that like
Speaker 2: when you know somebody is that damaged gambling wise and
Speaker 2: they're losing forty dollars as a bookie, is there any
Speaker 2: part of you that says, man, I can't take your
Speaker 2: bets anymore? And you know, he said, yeah, a little bit,
Speaker 2: but look he's running a business and probably think of
Speaker 2: that gravy train as going to continue. I'm still amazed though,
Speaker 2: that nobody flagged this, like the bank and maybe show
Speaker 2: HEYU Tani had no idea what was going on, and
Speaker 2: even you know, the bookie, Matt Boyer said, so he
Speaker 2: doesn't believe that sho Hey was involved in this, But
Speaker 2: doesn't your bank look at things like this with draws.
Speaker 2: Do you have a business manager like you can't just
Speaker 2: have a couple of million dollars gone and then a
Speaker 2: couple of million dollars and then a couple of million dollars.
Speaker 2: That to me is the most amazing part of all
Speaker 2: of this, that nobody flagged this and he got away
Speaker 2: with this. But you know, once I mentioned that I
Speaker 2: was going to have him on, I heard from three people,
Speaker 2: two that I know, and you know, trusted sources on
Speaker 2: a lot of things. But you start to get into
Speaker 2: the different layers of gambling, the leagues and their involvement
Speaker 2: and how deep it goes and who they're you know,
Speaker 2: in business with, and ma'am, I this is what keeps
Speaker 2: commissioners up at night. I asked Adam Silver, what keeps
Speaker 2: you up at night? And he said, gambling, because that's
Speaker 2: your Your league is based on that that we understand
Speaker 2: that everything is on the up and up. How many
Speaker 2: times on a Monday we take phone calls people saying
Speaker 2: the referees were out to get us, like the fix
Speaker 2: was in And I don't believe that's the case. But
Speaker 2: I understand why people would say that your entire your
Speaker 2: entire infrastructure is built upon your integrity and your integrity
Speaker 2: of making sure the product you put on the field
Speaker 2: is correct. But there's so many different loopholes. There's so
Speaker 2: many weak spots here. And it's never the guy who's
Speaker 2: making or at least not always the guy making all
Speaker 2: the money. It's somebody who wants to make all the money,
Speaker 2: somebody who wants to have a shortcut here, and that's
Speaker 2: what happens. But that's a lot of money. And he's
Speaker 2: raken in five hundred thousand dollars a month. I think
Speaker 2: maybe it was a week. Yeah time.
Speaker 11: How many times have we seen a bad beat? At
Speaker 11: least even once you or why? We're like, is that
Speaker 11: a bad beat? Or is that some kind of contrived
Speaker 11: bad beat? Like how could that have possibly happened my
Speaker 11: bet in the last second?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not always about you. You can have
Speaker 2: a good win, like we always look at the bad beat.
Speaker 2: We don't look at the guy who won.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: By the way, gambling podcast coming up at after the show,
Speaker 2: and I did this because I do talk about gambling
Speaker 2: and Dylan Gambles and Big Day, Ray and Shay and Irving.
Speaker 2: I am a voyeur, like I watch this now. If
Speaker 2: I thought that Dylan or Ray, who are employees of mine,
Speaker 2: had a gambling problem, then I would say so, I
Speaker 2: would say something to them, would I would encourage them
Speaker 2: to get help, even if it meant leaving the show.
Speaker 2: I feel that strongly about it. But we're doing it
Speaker 2: kind of tongue in cheek when we gamble on here
Speaker 2: or they gamble because I do not, but I'm aware
Speaker 2: of it. I go. I take it seriously when I
Speaker 2: bring this topic up because I want you, as a parent,
Speaker 2: or even if you're in that age group that you
Speaker 2: have a credit card, you're away at school, your kids
Speaker 2: are away at school, or they have a credit card,
Speaker 2: keep an eye because it will.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 2: Brendan Sowresby had everything, all this talent, and I owe
Speaker 2: money that wasn't good enough. And it is a disease.
Speaker 2: It is It's like alcoholism. It is a disease and
Speaker 2: you want that action. Some of the biggest names in
Speaker 2: all the sports Pete Rose, Michael Jordan, they needed the
Speaker 2: juice now, Michael May still Charles, he loves the juice

Speaker 2: do you have for me today?
Speaker 9: Morning?
Speaker 12: Guys?
Speaker 9: Five to six dance one eighty, Thank you.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 9: In June was in Chicago for a works trip late
Speaker 9: at night at the Four Seasons. Bob Costas is there.
Speaker 9: He just got out of a White Sox game. I
Speaker 9: walk over to him fairly full tell how much of
Speaker 9: a fan I am and my brother is as well.
Speaker 9: In wonder if they could take a quick video immediately
Speaker 9: off the cuffs, thirty seconds of pure Bobcossis couldn't be
Speaker 9: a nicer guy class act. The other thing. Maybe an
Speaker 9: idea for the trail, idea with you and your wife.
Speaker 9: The Mickelson Trail the Black Hills of South Dakota a
Speaker 9: little over one hundred miles. You can't camp on it overnight.
Speaker 9: So every night you stop on a small hills town,
Speaker 9: have a steak, hit a brewery, what a casino if
Speaker 9: you want to take a shower, hit the trail again
Speaker 9: the next day, and a week you're done. Maybe touch
Speaker 9: the waters a little bit. See if you like it.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you, Chad. I nearly lost my wife in
Speaker 2: the Black Hills. She went out on a bike and
Speaker 2: she was carrying the bike like she had to go
Speaker 2: in the river, carry the bike over her head. She
Speaker 2: came back, she was all cut up. It was getting dark.
Speaker 2: I've got four little ones. We're in a hotel, we're
Speaker 2: out there for a wedding. And she said, oh, I
Speaker 2: want to go take a bike trip. And I go okay.
Speaker 2: Like eight hours later, can't get a hold of her.
Speaker 2: And she came back like she came back from war.
Speaker 2: She's all banged up, and I go, where the hell.
Speaker 1: Have you been?
Speaker 2: She goes, Oh, I got a story for you, And
Speaker 2: I go Oh my god, Yeah, Pull.
Speaker 6: I lost my wife in the Black Hill. Sounds like
Speaker 6: a Clinton Black song or something like that.
Speaker 2: George Straight, Fred and Maryland. Hi, Fred, what do you
Speaker 2: have for me today?
Speaker 14: Good morning, Dan, Thanks for taking my call sixty one
Speaker 14: eighty five. Listen. Regarding your topic today, I think there's
Speaker 14: some naivety involved here, Dan, did the success rate on
Speaker 14: people who attempt the Appolachian trail is roughly twenty five percent.
Speaker 14: There's the seventy five percent failure there, and that's people
Speaker 14: that are really one after It's it's a challenging thing
Speaker 14: to be sure.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think she's naive about it. I think
Speaker 2: she's driven to do it and it's always been on
Speaker 2: her bucket list. I'm going to try to continue to
Speaker 2: discourage her. But thank you, Fred, thank you for the statistics.
Speaker 2: I'll be using that in about a half hour from
Speaker 2: now when I see her.
Speaker 11: Yes, Marvin, is she trying to discourage you from like retiring.
Speaker 2: So I would come back because I don't want to
Speaker 2: go on the appalation trail? Yeah, I don't. I didn't
Speaker 2: think of it that way. Maybe she's playing playing some games.
Speaker 2: So why did you decide to come back. I don't
Speaker 2: want to do the Appalation Trail. Huh, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what else would you do during that four ish
Speaker 3: month stretch other than coming back and doing the show?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to do it, but
Speaker 2: I said, how about you do portions of it? Are
Speaker 2: there nice areas that you could do a week and
Speaker 2: then I could come and get you, and then you
Speaker 2: come back like a month later and do in another portion,
Speaker 2: and we could go from Georgia to Maine, but we
Speaker 2: could do it collectively. Ish that might be might be
Speaker 2: the route that I take. Yes. Buy.
Speaker 6: According to this search, the easiest air quotes part of
Speaker 6: the Appleachic Trail is Maryland, forty one miles, relatively flat
Speaker 6: and non threatening.
Speaker 2: David in Denver, Hi, David, what do you have for me?
Speaker 12: I'm still thinking about the shick that burned the dude's yearbook.
Speaker 12: Noll And that's been a while. Beat.
Speaker 9: How jealous you.
Speaker 4: Have to be?
Speaker 5: But yeah, dude.
Speaker 9: So like my brother, shout out to John. He's doing
Speaker 9: the Appalachian Trail in sections. So it's taken him like
Speaker 9: three years.
Speaker 12: But what he'll do is he'll do the northeast section
Speaker 12: and then he just finished the Shanada Valley section, so
Speaker 12: I was like, man, hey, how about you and Fritzy.
Speaker 9: Going a little hike, a little.
Speaker 12: A little stroll through the Shanadoa Valley. It could be
Speaker 12: a great bromance, could be a good broad time. You know,
Speaker 12: set all your beef.
Speaker 2: Oh Todd could No, he can't survive.
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 4: Is it like a diner every few miles up?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And will never resolve all of our beefs. It
Speaker 2: won't happen here is here's the plot. I tell Todd
Speaker 2: things that maybe would help him, that he needs to
Speaker 2: work on. Todd disregards them. That's it.
Speaker 11: No, I'll say something like, you know, I should work
Speaker 11: on that. I should look into that. Then like I
Speaker 11: never do. But that's a I hate that.
Speaker 2: I hate that. I could be better, you know, I'll
Speaker 2: be like Todd, you know, maybe don't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I could be better about that. Yes, Doling, do you.
Speaker 3: Think Todd could handle the forty one miles stretch of Maryland?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: How many minds do I have to do it?
Speaker 2: Well, if we're doing forty one miles, can you do
Speaker 2: maybe ten a day?
Speaker 11: Asking a lot? I was thinking about five. If they
Speaker 11: can negotiate that down a little bit. Five six of them.
Speaker 2: No, no, I know you can't do it, But then
Speaker 2: you know there's a lot of people can't.
Speaker 4: I like to walk.
Speaker 11: I just I get to plant a fascia itis, and
Speaker 11: sometimes I get cramps on the ankles.
Speaker 2: See you you got cramps in your ankle?
Speaker 11: How toes kind of just get a little uh, I
Speaker 11: don't know. I get a little trolley horse. But the heels, Yeah,
Speaker 11: the heels get banged up fast.
Speaker 4: Pickleball or not. Just once I start moving the feet.
Speaker 2: Your mom did a number on you, Yes she did.
Speaker 2: She did.
Speaker 11: I'm going to the ear nose throat doctor right after
Speaker 11: the show because they've had a clogged ear for a
Speaker 11: month and that's still unresolved.
Speaker 4: So I gotta go get a check.
Speaker 2: How about I cut it off.
Speaker 4: Like a van go cut it there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for a month.
Speaker 4: This is QUI every time I blow my nose, I
Speaker 4: here like this, weird vilain.
Speaker 3: What is the over under on uh Jewish kids from
Speaker 3: Brooklyn who have done the Appalachian Trail. I'm gonna guess
Speaker 3: it's probably that.
Speaker 2: Uh, Paulie, could you see could you look that up?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Wish me luck.
Speaker 2: Jewish kids from Brooklyn Appalation Trail and the answer is nobody.
Speaker 2: Your mom would never let you go in the Appalation Trail.
Speaker 11: I had to go get a third culture. Like every week,
Speaker 11: I had big consoles. As soon as I met a
Speaker 11: coughing norse. You got stripped through and we got a
Speaker 11: check because if you have stepped through.
Speaker 2: I still love this story, and this is emblematic of
Speaker 2: your relationship with your mom. When you and your brother
Speaker 2: went to the doctor and you got a clean bill
Speaker 2: of health, but your mom insisted that you guys get
Speaker 2: penicillin shots when you were younger.
Speaker 11: You went into doctor Houtman's office and all of a sudden,
Speaker 11: we're getting in the car.
Speaker 4: We're high fiving each.
Speaker 11: Other, my brother and I think no shot, no shot
Speaker 11: this time, and she gets she did a little like
Speaker 11: you got to come back in and like what's going on?
Speaker 11: Next thing I know, our pants are done and we're
Speaker 11: getting shots in the tous as we'd like to say,
Speaker 11: he actually convinced the doctor. My mom has no degree
Speaker 11: any type of medicine, and she convinces doctor might be
Speaker 11: a good idea just to give them a shot.
Speaker 2: Yes, Marvin if Fritzy wasn't married.
Speaker 4: Do you think he'd still be living with his mom
Speaker 4: right now? Yes?
Speaker 11: I think I did like an apartment next door. I
Speaker 11: don't think i'd be looking at the exact apartment.
Speaker 2: You would be there for every meal, she would do
Speaker 2: your laundry. Yeah, you you would be with your mom.
Speaker 11: If you take her a little wagon out, we go
Speaker 11: through the supermarket and you know, down Brighton Beach, he'll
Speaker 11: be lovely.

Speaker 1: once in store tomorrow. Oh what a day? What a
Speaker 1: day it's been this day? And sports history?
Speaker 2: How that for you? Coming up? Final results of the
Speaker 2: poll questions as well. Chris in La, Hi, Chris, what
Speaker 2: do you have for me?
Speaker 12: Hey?
Speaker 15: Dan, I saw your interview with Dan LeBatard. I'm sorry
Speaker 15: to go off course. I graduated from full Sell twenty
Speaker 15: four years ago, and I'm curious what you're telling your
Speaker 15: students and prospective students with the state of the industry
Speaker 15: right now, because I was a location scout in TV
Speaker 15: and film for twenty five years and the industry is
Speaker 15: currently gone. So when parents are asking you, hey, should
Speaker 15: my kid go to broadcasting school? What are you telling them?
Speaker 2: Tell them the truth. I tell them how difficult it is.
Speaker 2: I tell them that not all of you will be
Speaker 2: on the air. In fact, most of you won't be.
Speaker 2: I tell them to diversify. I tell them to learn
Speaker 2: how to produce, how to direct, how to run a camera.
Speaker 2: Your degree is in sportscasting, and not everybody's going to
Speaker 2: be in front of a microphone. The reason, one of
Speaker 2: the reasons why I started my broadcast school was I
Speaker 2: met with the parents of a student who went to
Speaker 2: an SEC school and graduated in communications, and nobody had
Speaker 2: ever checked on if he had had an internship, any
Speaker 2: kind of experience, And I thought, you know, there's no
Speaker 2: guarantees I stay in touch with my students. When you graduate,
Speaker 2: you always have an opportunity to check in with me
Speaker 2: and the people who run the program. This isn't where
Speaker 2: once you graduate, you're done. That's what colleges do. I
Speaker 2: speak from experience. I tell them who you see going up,
Speaker 2: you might see on the way down. Not everybody's going
Speaker 2: to get to ESPN. You might be in a Bozeman.
Speaker 2: But to call yourself a professional sportscaster, consider that an honor.
Speaker 2: And don't do it for money, because you're going to
Speaker 2: be disappointed. So we speak the truth. Chris. I don't
Speaker 2: know what happened with your career, but with these young students,
Speaker 2: they are getting great advice. They're getting the answers to
Speaker 2: the test. We've created something that other universities are trying
Speaker 2: to replicate, but they don't have me running the program.
Speaker 2: I review students videos every single month. You submit a
Speaker 2: video and I'll watch it and I'll critique it. But
Speaker 2: your degree is in sportscasting and full sale gave us
Speaker 2: total autonomy to be able to teach this program. But
Speaker 2: thank you for the phone call. Matthew in South Carolina. Hi,
Speaker 2: Matt what do you have for me today?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 5: Dan DP five nine one seventy six this morning. I'm

Speaker 5: about your book. Says, well, I've done Captain Jack Sparrow,
Speaker 5: Mario Darth Vay or the bandit Ricky Bobby. I'm looking
Speaker 5: for some ideas for this year, so I've got a
Speaker 5: few weeks to figure it out.
Speaker 2: So wait a minute. You're a teacher and you're going
Speaker 2: to do a yearbook photo dressed up as somebody every
Speaker 2: year every year? All right, does anybody have advice a
Speaker 2: suggestion from Matthew for it? This year's your book photo.
Speaker 2: I got crickets, matt I got crickets. Dylan, you should
Speaker 2: have one RoboCop? Why would he do RoboCop? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Just the first thing that popped into my head.
Speaker 2: Well, because you have a robocomp comp tattoo.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: I didn't even look at it though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on the top of it. You don't want

Speaker 3: couple of sharks, and a dragonfly and a really really

Speaker 6: No, I never got one. I just never found something
Speaker 6: that I thought I'd keep forever.
Speaker 11: A lot of scars, no tattoos, emotional scars, emotional scars.
Speaker 4: Well, it was a worse than the physical one.
Speaker 2: This dang sports history, Paul.
Speaker 6: In twenty thirteen, Bud Seelig suspended Alex Rodriguez a weird
Speaker 6: number two and eleven games for peds that were reduced
Speaker 6: to one sixty two. And uh, this is a good one.
Speaker 6: We brought trades the other day. In nineteen sixty two,
Speaker 6: clubs traded managers. Detroit traded Jimmy Dikes for Cleveland's Joe Gordon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we brought that up yesterday. Let's see final results
Speaker 2: of the poll question Dylan.
Speaker 3: Thought on Jay Flowers getting a thirty five million dollar
Speaker 3: a year deal with the Ravens, sixty five percent say
Speaker 3: hate it. I think that's a little strong. But and
Speaker 3: the food that's the best, even when it's bad. Pizza, burgers, tacos,
Speaker 3: or other pizza running away with it at seventy four percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would throw in hot dogs as well. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: hot times. Twenty twelve, Usain Bolt set the Olympic record
Speaker 2: nine point sixty three seconds. Todd, would you learn today?
Speaker 4: Paul had brought this one up earlier. The last of
Speaker 4: the Steels had fewer than.
Speaker 11: Six wins in a season nineteen eighty eight, almost forty years.
Speaker 2: Wow, Dylan, how about you.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna have to hike the Appalachian Trail.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not Marvin. College football coaches don't watch college football.
Speaker 2: They do not Paul Tennis is the easiest to fix, Todd,
Speaker 2: what did I learn?
Speaker 11: Alabama ranked outside the Coach's Poll Top ten for the
Speaker 11: first time since two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
