If you don't, 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: you probably haven't seen what I've been writing about. But 5 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: at sports talking a Matt is how you guys can 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: do so Oma Steaks the title sponsor of this podcast. 7 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: This is going to be a quick and a different 8 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: type of podcasts. I haven't watched anything. I haven't really 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: read anything. I haven't studied, I haven't really felt the 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: desire or want. For those of you who may not know, 11 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: I teach at UNLV, I've been teaching there for the 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: last four years. And I was expected on campus today 13 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: at four o'clock to go and have my final meetings 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: with my students. I had actually canceled that, so I 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: was actually going to go to campus, but not go 16 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: to my classroom at four o'clock. And well, while I 17 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: was on the air doing The Bostonian Versus the Book, 18 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,639 Speaker 1: my other show, I received the text message that will 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: now haunt me about an active shooter going on on campus. 20 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: The experiences I've had in my broadcasting career has been 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: I was on the air during nine to eleven. I 22 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: was on the air during the West Roads Mall shootings 23 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: in Omaha, Nebraska. I was on the air during the 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: Boston Marathon bombings. I have a tattoo on my arm 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: that's in memory of those who lost their lives and 26 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: who are impacted and affected by the Boston Marathon bombings. 27 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Nine to eleven is always with me because of where 28 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: I was and how I was a news reporter for 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: three days in Huntsville, Alabama. I was two thousand miles 30 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: away from home. Now being forty six and having a 31 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: daughter of my own and having the experiences of taking 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: her to campus to see the building that I work in, 33 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: be surrounded by police, and know the campus as well 34 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: as I do. The student union is directly across from 35 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: where I work, where I go to work every Monday 36 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and Wednesday. I go to work, and my relationship with 37 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: my students is incredibly special, and I have had such 38 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: an incredible, amazing time, and that somebody would hurt them 39 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: or hurt attempt to hurt them is beyond me. And 40 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: the person that did this an older man that was 41 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: disgruntled about something. We don't know the whole story about it. 42 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: But the fact that he could walk on a campus 43 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: and shatter everyone's thought and safety and security is tough 44 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: to deal with and has been difficult for me to 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: wrap my head around. We don't know the names of 46 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: the victims yet. It's you know, eleven o'clock on you 47 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: know here on a Wednesday night when I tape the podcast, 48 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: and so, you know, I've been trying to figure out, 49 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: like what do I do with this podcast today? Like 50 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: do I even do a podcast today? Because it feels 51 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: immensely inappropriate for me to do a podcast today, because 52 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: I am furious, I'm sad, I am shocked. My co 53 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: host daughter, Dave Sheerapan, who I do BVB with his daughter, 54 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: is a freshman at you A U and LV, and 55 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I just go back to my freshman year around was 56 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: at UMass, Like what would that have been like if 57 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: I my first semester of college this happens. How do 58 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: I go back to school? How do I, you know, 59 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: feel safe? And I just I feel for Dave and 60 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: his family. I feel for the families of those people 61 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: whose kids are away at school. One of my students 62 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: was on the news on the news a broadcasting class. 63 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, he was so good on the news 64 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: that the professor and me came out. I was like wow, 65 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: And I was like, but he's talking about an awful 66 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: thing that he and his fellow students are having to 67 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: deal with. He's living some Connecticut of all places, right, 68 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: I mean, my relationship with Connecticut is pretty funny. But 69 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: he he's far from home. I couldn't imagine having my 70 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: child be across the country when a mass shooting breaks 71 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: out on the campus that he goes to. So look, 72 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough to know why or how we 73 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: fix this. It's happened so often in my career now. 74 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: Like I said, this is the fourth time I've been 75 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: on the air during a mass casualty event. It's it's unbelievable. 76 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: I people who still tell me to this day. You know, 77 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: I learned about nine to eleven from your morning show 78 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: in Huntsville, Alabama. Or I heard about the Boston Marathon 79 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: bombing from you listening to your show in New Hampshire. 80 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: Or I found out about the West Roades Mall shuting 81 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: from your show in Omaha when you were there. And 82 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: I guarantee there's people who were watching BVB when I 83 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: got the text message that said, this is not a 84 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: drill active shooter on campus. And I didn't know what 85 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: to do with the information, and I had to, like, 86 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, talk my co host through it and be like, Dave, 87 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: where's your daughter? He had to find his kid, and 88 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: his kid was on lockdown for five and a half 89 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: hours in the library on campus. So, look, there are 90 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: things that are bigger than sports. But I felt like 91 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: it was important for me to come on here. I'll 92 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: give you one play for today. If I have others, 93 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: and I probably will have others in the morning, I'll 94 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: get up and I'll look around. I'll put it on 95 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: the Discord channel, bettingpros dot Com, slash chat. My handle 96 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: is at sports Talk Matt go in the Daily Juice 97 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: portion of the Discord channel. I'll go in there and 98 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: I'll post probably some other plays, a couple of hockey 99 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: plays or something that I like at some point before. 100 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: But you know, this was supposed to be a fun night. 101 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: Patriots are playing on Thursday night football against the Steelers. 102 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a fun game to watch. Bet 103 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Bet the under. You bet under on 104 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: the props for the Patriots on their offense because they 105 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: can't do anything like there was. I was got some 106 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: fun tonight. I was gonna enjoy this, and now it 107 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: feels just not appropriate at the moment. Until I find 108 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: out the names of the three victims, and really the 109 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: four victims. There is one person who's in the hospital 110 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: with gunshot wounds who's in stable condition. But until we 111 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: find out the names of these people, I'm really scared 112 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: that I know the victims. I mean the number of 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: people who were on TV that I knew for at UNLV, 114 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: I was unbelieving. I couldn't like, I was like, what's 115 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: going on? There were so many years I turned on 116 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: the TV news locally there was another person there being talked, 117 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: being interviewed that I either had in class or that 118 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: I worked with as a colleague. So I just can't 119 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: stop thinking, like, Okay, when are they going to really 120 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the names of the victims? And who are these families 121 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: that we're going to have to reach out to and support. 122 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: Were they students, were they faculty? You know who were they? 123 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy who got me the job at 124 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: UNLV was in the building and heard the gunshots when 125 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: it went off, like a close person to me that 126 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have my job at UNLV if he didn't 127 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: bring me to campus. He was teaching in the building 128 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: that the shooting happened, and students of his and his 129 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: class were also students of mine in previous semesters and 130 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: this semester they were in that building, And so like 131 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: the idea that people that were that close to me 132 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: were impacted this way for a school of twenty thousand, 133 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: But that corner of the university, that corner of campus 134 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: is where we work. It's where the media department is, 135 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: it's where the journalism building is, It's where the journal 136 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: and classes happen, audio, TV, mass media, all these things, 137 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: they all happen there. So it makes sense that I 138 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: would know a lot of people involved. But it's a 139 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: campus of twenty thousand, and to know people close to this, 140 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: like it could have been at some other part on 141 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: campus and it wouldn't have impacted me. But like all 142 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: those buildings that you're seeing, all the live shots that 143 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: are happening from the TV news around the country, the 144 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: c and NS, the Fox News is, the MSNBC's all 145 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: those live shots that are right there by the student union. 146 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: Look to the left of the student union, that's where 147 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: I work, and I go there every single Monday and 148 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: Wednesday and have for four years. So I mean, my 149 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: thoughts are with you in LV. I'm wearing the shirt 150 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: if you're watching it on video. This is one of 151 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: the pieces of gear that I've got for UNLV, and 152 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: it just sucks. Okay, it just sucks. And I love you, guys, 153 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: I love the community for the daily juice. I know 154 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: the vast majority you will understand. I'm sure some of 155 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: you will have a snarky comment or two and shut up, 156 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: Matt and give me picks, because that's kind of who 157 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: you are, all right. But I know the vast majority 158 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: you guys will understand that this is going to be 159 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: a tough week for me, and it's a tough day 160 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: and bigger things, more important things are at play here. Okay. 161 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: So if you ever say, oh, I don't know anybody 162 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: affected by the UNLV shootings, guess what now? You do me? 163 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: So you know somebody who was affected deeply by what 164 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: just went on on the campus of UNLV. Until we 165 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: find out the names of the victims, I'm not going 166 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: to be easy here. I have a really sick feeling 167 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: in my stomach and I just I really want to know, 168 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: you know who, just you know who, who had this 169 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: tragedy happen. How can we help their families? Where they students? 170 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Were they faculty, the motive? What? Why in the hell 171 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: did this happen. One of the most special times for 172 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: my daughter and I is when I bring her to 173 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: my campus class every single semester and she meets my 174 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: class because she gets to see one what her dad does. 175 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: Two the fuel she gets from those students is incredible. 176 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: She sees what college is all about. She sees why 177 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: she's going to elementary school and then high school and 178 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: then college. I never got that. I never know one. 179 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: I was never shown why I was on a path. 180 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: I was just told to go to go to elementary school, 181 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: go to high school, go to college. I want to 182 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: show my daughter, like the amazing things at higher education, 183 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: what awaits you at the end of all of these 184 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: years of school that you're going to go through. Because 185 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: it can be special, it could be incredible. I mean, 186 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: tom of your life if you make it that way. 187 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: And now I don't know what to do with that. 188 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how I bring my daughter to campus. 189 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: I want to don't know how I'm gonna feel about it. 190 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: So the play I'll give you guys for today is 191 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: somewhat predictable. But we're going to tease this THURSDA Night 192 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: football game. Take the total up to thirty six and 193 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: go under, and we're gonna take the Steelers down from 194 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: minus six to a pick minus one twenty same game teaser. 195 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: This should be readily available if your book does not 196 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: allow you to same game tease. I mean, come on, 197 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: you can tease the Patriots up to plus twelve of 198 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: you want, but I'm not interested in doing it. I'm 199 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: just gonna pull it down Patriots. If they win this game, 200 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna be furious. They should not win this game. 201 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: They should absolutely lose this game. I need it for 202 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: our Steelers. Bet over eight and a half wins. It's 203 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: a very important game. I think the Pittsburgh defense is 204 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: why they win. I think the Patriots will turn the 205 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: ball over. I think that Mitch Trubisky, though, will throw 206 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: a pick. Okay, he will throw a pick in this game, 207 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: So you want both quarterbacks to be intercepted. Decent prop 208 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: bet to make here if you want to a prop 209 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: bet in this game. But officially, we're gonna go minus 210 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: one twenty one point two units down total up to 211 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: thirty six. We're going under pick them for the Steelers 212 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: to win this game, minus six down to a pick 213 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: here in this one, mine's one twenty same game teaser 214 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: for us again. What else? What else I'll add? I'm 215 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: not sure.
