Speaker 1: forced you to answer trivia questions for our audiences amusement

Speaker 1: I'm excited. I haven't been fired yet. I've made it

19
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: this second episode, so I'm really living my dream right now.

00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,360

Speaker 1: you learn your place pretty quickly. When you're sort of

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: out there in the ether and we're not paying you

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,400

Speaker 1: Millman is proud of himself. It sounds right. I realized

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: I got health insurance. But now I'm called Rob. It's

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: a fair tread. You will re elevate to co host

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: status very very quickly, especially when we get to the

35
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: NFL season, and I will just be uh sitting along

36
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the side rail, listening to everything you say and trying

37
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: to make all the money. But today, Simon, you will

38
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: face two guest challengers, and our first guest is our

39
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: new teammate, Alex Monico, sports gambling host on the Volume

40
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: podcast Network, more affectionately known as money Line Monico, my

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 1: favorite guilt written gambling host. What's going on? Brother? All right, Chad,

42
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: thank you for the wonderfully warm intro. That is exactly

43
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: what it is. As I was telling you, half Jewish,

44
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: half Italian. We lose these bets on the Action Network

45
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: now and they're on record. I'll be going from eight

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: hours to five hours of sleep, like last night when

47
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: I chased the freaking Clippers plus eight live. But no,

48
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to be here. I I pretty much

49
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: gamble on everything. I mean, I don't know if you've

50
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: seen it out there in the ether. I am a fanatic,

51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: you call it's a nice way to say degenerate, very

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: much married to the gambling game. I got a second

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: TV to my right, so it's a two TVs no

54
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: girlfriend up in here by design. So yeah, very excited

55
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: to be here with you. Yes, thanks Roving. Well, We're

56
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: glad to have you here. Is our second guest. Of course,

57
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: most people would know him. He is Kylin Wilson, one

58
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: of our Action Network brilliant analysts, especially when it comes

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: to college sports. Uh Jesus Christ. He's been doing this forever.

60
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: He's a co host of the Action Network podcast. You've

61
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: been hearing him all season long on the college basketball

62
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: podcast We're Stucky and Mike Randall. He's in Arkansas, alum

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: whoo pig SUI. We already know that he does not

64
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: like Arkansas to make the Final four, even though that

65
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: means he'll be reject to buy his community. Colin, how

66
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: are you, Chad? I'm doing great today, and I think

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: a more appropriate introduction would be person that has donated

68
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: to the Bobby Petrino and Brett Bilma buyouts. That couldn't

69
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: be anymore disparaging. Is throwing that news my weight? Well,

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: guess what, pretty soon you may be able to contribute

71
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: to the Eric Musselan bio because he could be going

72
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: to my alma mater, Indiana University. Don't even respond. Here's

73
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: how the game is played. You're gonna answer two kinds

74
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: of questions. First, there are traditional trivia questions about sports,

75
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: sports betting the world at large, but also completely subjective

76
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: and totally assinine open ended prompts to accumulate points. You

77
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: must answer the trivia questions correctly and also convince me

78
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: that your responses to those open ended prompts are better

79
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: than your opponents. I feel like this is the dressed down,

80
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: not as classy version of weight weight. Don't tell me

81
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: on NPR. If you hate gambling, go listen to NPR.

82
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: I should give all credit for this to producer Matt

83
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell uh and audio genius, because is in this game

84
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: just like sports betting, you can't get him. All Right,

85
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: let's begin part one. I'm gonna sing it in Honorabilly Joe,

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: Come out Virginia. Don't let me wait here, we go Colin.

87
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: The last final four was held in two thousand nineteen,

88
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: when the University of Virginia won it. All named two

89
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of the other three members of that final four Michigan State,

90
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Texas Tech Auburn. Wow, dude, Alex Monico said the bar

91
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: signon he came in so hot On that, Alex, you're

92
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: up next. Virginia defeated Texas Tech by eight points in

93
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: that two thousand nineteen championship game. They only covered is

94
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: one and a half point favorites because UV a forced

95
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: overtime thanks to a three pointer with twelve seconds left

96
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: in regulation from this player, now a starter on the

97
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks when he's not injured. I was gonna say, guy,

98
00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: is it Guy? It's not guy, I'm wrong. You should

99
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: be ashamed of yourself. I know, I'm sorry. I'm I'm

100
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: gambling on the Hawks. I'm not watching every possession. The

101
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: answer is DeAndre Hunter. True story. I was on spring break,

102
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: UH with my family and my best friend's family. I

103
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: made a bet with my best friend's oldest son, who

104
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: was fifteen at the time, that uv A would cover.

105
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: The only steaks were he is a thoughtful, amazing, strong

106
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: willed kid. The stakes were if uv A covered for

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours of our trip. Anytime I

108
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: was in the room and I said something or I

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: said that he had to do this, although the thing

110
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: he could say was you're right, Chad, And believe me,

111
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing more painful for a strong willed teenager than

112
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: to have to not respond to just say you're right.

113
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: It was the greatest forty eight hours of my life.

114
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Chad Millman got something right, all right, Simon. When you

115
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: VA won that championship and cut down the nets, the

116
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: broadcast booth referred to them as the All Time Turnaround Champions,

117
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: a reference to their mortifying two thousand eighteen opening round

118
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: loss to this team, the only sixteen seed to ever

119
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: defeat a one seed named the team or its mascot.

120
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Let's go with Cleveland State University, Maryland Baltimore County, the Retrievers. Wow,

121
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Colin Wilson getting out to a big, big lead. And

122
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: by the way, this is why you're the fucking sidekick

123
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: because you don't know college basketball. I don't, but I

124
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: do well in these brackets because of that. So the

125
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 1: less you know, chat, here we go. Are you ready?

126
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: Part two? As you know, last year, a budding global

127
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: pandemic denied us a college basketball champion, and it's been

128
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: two years since we've experienced March madness of your task.

129
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: Sell me on another annual sporting event that would be

130
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: improved if it was held every other year from now on.

131
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: For example, if Nathan's hot dog eating contest was held

132
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: every other fourth of July, it might feel more fun

133
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: and less gross. Simon, you get to go first. Now,

134
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: this is very close to my heart, and it's the

135
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: World Cup. Never get over the fact that it's such

136
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: an old school thing that it's every four years. I

137
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: know some people like that because it's so much time between,

138
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: but I've always been claiming for two years. There's just

139
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: so much talent right now. In the world that plays

140
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: football around the nation, like everywhere. I mean, even America

141
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: is getting better playing soccer. So I would love if

142
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: they would make it two years for the World Cup

143
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: because I would just like to see the showcase and

144
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: of the talent. There's there's a few more more fun

145
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: than betting on the World Cup because it's nation first

146
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: nation and if you're traveling during the World Cup, it's

147
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: just cool everyone wearing all their countries colors and everything

148
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: like that. So for me, I wish they had moved

149
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: with every two years. Here's what I like that you did.

150
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: You took the premise, which was take something that happens

151
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: every year and turn it into something every other year,

152
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: and you took something that is so beloved and so

153
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: good it said there's too much scarcity, we need more

154
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: of it, and turned it from four years to two years.

155
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: I will accept that answer, and I'm going to give

156
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: you extra credit for coming up with something that is

157
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: the complete opposite of what the question was. Alex, you

158
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: get to go next. God, I gotta go with the

159
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, my friend, the most unnecessary annual. I'm gonna

160
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: quote your boys Seinfeld here when he got an award

161
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: just give them the award. People that get awards, they

162
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: know that they're already in work. Just just say it

163
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: out loud. If if these guys are gonna be millionaires,

164
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: not tackling, and now we're in Orlando and not even Hawaii,

165
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: so aesthetics are out the window. If they're playing out

166
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: to get hurt, just you know, moving before the Super

167
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: Bowl like they used two years ago, or Bud Kiss,

168
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm all set. It's the It's the MLB All Star

169
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: Game of bus baby, give me the Pro Bowl every

170
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: other year. I don't mind that answer either. That is

171
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: very thoughtful. All right, Colin, I think I know how

172
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: I'm handicapping this race so far, but give me give

173
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: me your response. Listen. If we're gonna talk about bowls,

174
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: we need to trim bowl season back. And this is

175
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: a guy that will watch any Bowl at any time

176
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: and bet on anything. There's just too many of them,

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: and so we need to ask ourselves. Do I need

178
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: a Bad Boy Mower's Bowl every year? Do I need

179
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: a Bitcoin St. Peter's Bird Tropicana whatever the hell that

180
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: thing was? Bowl between Mississippi State and Miami of Ohio.

181
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Full game fever, catchet, No, listen, to New Mexico Bowl

182
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: hasn't even had a sponsor in four years and they

183
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: just played the goddamn thing in Frisco, Texas. There's too

184
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: many bowls. Some of these need to be chopped off.

185
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: But don't take away my Bahama's bowl, right, So some

186
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: of these need to be trimmed. Wow, that's pretty good too.

187
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: By the way, Bitcoin training a fifty thousand this morning.

188
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to annoying a winner here. And it's not

189
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: because he's my bff and my companion and my full

190
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: co host of the Favorites podcast on the Volume podcasting Networks.

191
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Because his answer was the most creative and I think

192
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: would bring the most fun. And at the end of

193
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: the day, I want something that is going to bring fun.

194
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't want something that is just something that sucks.

195
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Now getting it every two years instead of getting it

196
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: every year. There is no better event than the World Cup.

197
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: It is extraordinary. Simon Hunter, you win that round. Not

198
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: to be confused with DeAndre Hunter, that is correct. Part two,

199
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: Cinderella and the City March Madness is all about Cinderella stories.

200
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: So our first question is inspired by the beloved animated

201
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: movie Cinderella released by Disney. Back in nineteen fifty. The

202
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: n A basketball champion that year was the City College

203
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: of New York, who's infamous point shaving scandal rocked the

204
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: college basketball world, infuriated honest gamblers, and forever altered New

205
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: York City status as a college basketball powerhouse. Despite this,

206
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: there are still seven men's programs with campuses in New

207
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: York City. Name these seven schools one point each. You'll

208
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: guess one at a time, snake draft style. Simon. We're

209
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna start with you, thank God, because I think I

210
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: only know to n y U. You're wrong, Alex, You're

211
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: up next, Cornell. What the funk is wrong with you?

212
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: Cornell is not in New York City? Are you saying

213
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: New York City? I thought it was a surrounding area.

214
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: It's New York City. And by the way, Cornell isn't

215
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: even the surrounding area. Cornell is like eight hours away.

216
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: It's an upstate New York. It's closer to Canada. Columbia alright,

217
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Columbia is right. Jesus Christ. We're giving you that answer

218
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: only because, like you're a new friend, we give people

219
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: second chances. Colin, Yeah, I mean, I'll clean up the

220
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: other six if these guys can't get him. So he's

221
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: lucky he got Columbia. I'm gonna take the one away

222
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: that these guys might actually get. So I'll start with St. John's. Boom, Alex,

223
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: You're up next? Does Fordham count Fordham counts? That's pretty good? Alright,

224
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: So Alex, you got to Yeah, I'm dead there, right,

225
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I got nothing? Oh my god, Simon is zero here

226
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: so far. Colin, you're next. I'm gonna take the team

227
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: away that's made the tournament more times people would recognize

228
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: that be Manhattan. No, that was a good one. He

229
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: got it, Alex. Your next Queen City College. Oh Jesus Christ.

230
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the Long Island Sharks away from

231
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: because they've made the tournament a bunch of times. True.

232
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Colin just ended if you get one more? Yeah, well,

233
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Wagner was the number one seed in their conference tournament.

234
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: They didn't pull it off. So that's one that's in

235
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Staten Island. And then the last one is the only

236
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: team out of this entire group that has never made

237
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: the n c A tournament, and that would be St.

238
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Francis of New York, not St. Francis of p A.

239
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: So there's your teams. Well done. Can someone get Alex

240
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: some kind of atlas so he can learn a little

241
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: bit about where things are? Part two of our Cinderella

242
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: story Game. Cinderella is one of thirteen officially recognized Disney princesses. Suddenly,

243
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: on the one Disney princess you choose to build a

244
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: winning basketball team around. Obviously, you guys know all three

245
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: of the princesses by heart. As a reminder for the audience,

246
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: they are snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Area Bell, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Lulan, Tianna, Rapunzel, Merida,

247
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: mo Wanna and Raya Alex. This might be the moment

248
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: when you can redeem yourself. Chad, I gotta go with

249
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: snow White. It's an easy decision. First of all, she

250
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: deals with the seven Dwarves. That's grumpy, that's sleepy, that's dopey,

251
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: that's a little Bill Walton, little Rashid Wallace. You got

252
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: the dot Bashful, you got the metal world piece rock

253
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: in the Indiana Pacers Brawl pre Meta. Who better equipped

254
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: than snow White? She already deals with every kind of

255
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: little man possible. This is far and away will be

256
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: my best answer snow White. I don't mind it. Colin,

257
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: you're up thinking about r L. But she doesn't have

258
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: any legs, like she had to cut a deal with

259
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: a damn octopus just to try to find some feet.

260
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: So if you can't even find some feet, you're not

261
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna be on my team. Frankly, the winner in this

262
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: group is not even close is Jasmine, and the reasons

263
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: because she married Aladdin, which means she now owns half

264
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: of that Flying Rug, and by the time she gets divorced,

265
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: she'll owned all of the Flying Rug. That's what I

266
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: want on my basketball team. That's not bad either. That

267
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: is next level thinking. All right, Simon, Yeah, you know

268
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm a schemer. I'm always looking

269
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: for a little edge, a little loophole. We left out

270
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: a huge loophole. Someone that recently just joined the Disney

271
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: family might some might say the greatest princess ever exists,

272
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Princess Leah. I don't even need a ruling here, because

273
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: Simon went next level in the same way that he

274
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: thought about the World Cup. He looked at the problem

275
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: and didn't accept what he saw in front of him.

276
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: He decided there's a better way to win. Guys. That's

277
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: why he's been a successful professional better for so long.

278
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: That's why he wins this round of the game. Simon,

279
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: this isn't yad the fixes in with your co host.

280
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: She may be able to float through space dead and frozen,

281
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: but she got no damn carpet. So whatever, let's head

282
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: into Part three. I'm giving you a score update right now.

283
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Colin is ahead. He's got six points. Simon and Alex

284
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: are tied with two. Although Simon has given very creative answers,

285
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: and even if he just gets those two points, I

286
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: feel like strategically he has proven himself to be head

287
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: and shoulders above everybody. Here. Part three, let's party like

288
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: it's Fans love to see fresh teams get their shot

289
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: at the Big Dance. Simon, also known as the State

290
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: University of New Jersey. This team broke the longest March

291
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,359
Speaker 1: Madness drought in this year's tournament. Come on, Jersey Boy,

292
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: I'll go with the Rutgers, but it feels like it's

293
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: tc J. I'll say Rutgers. Nice job, the Scarlet Knights.

294
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Last One Dancing was the first year CBS televised every

295
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: n C Double A tournament. Game. This famous broadcaster was

296
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: their top play by play guy, also famous for referring

297
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: to the Masters as a tradition unlike any other Alex

298
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: that as you Jim Nance throw me a double tap

299
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: lay up. Thank you Chad for welcome back to Butler

300
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Cabin and this tradition unlike any other week and this

301
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: is for you. In c double A Championship, Larry Johnson

302
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: in the undefeated un l V Runnin Rebels lost to

303
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: this eight point underdog Colin who beat them. Sadly, guys,

304
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: this is right up my alley because Arkansas was in

305
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: the final four the year before. Whoo pig SUI. The

306
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: answer is Duke, because Duke was embarrassed the year before

307
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: by that wonderful un l V team that my Arkansas

308
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: fought with every single year. You are correct. Let's keep going,

309
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: simon your next The song Someday was number one in

310
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the charts in March, performed by this female powerhouse Billboard

311
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: magazine's most successful musical artist of the nineties. It feels

312
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: like Madonna killed the nineties. So I guess, Madonna, I'm

313
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: going to give you another. Yes, I'm gonna give you

314
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: another yess. Alright, it feels like it's cheena. Mariah Carey.

315
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey is the answer in Alex. This car, named

316
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: after a zodiac symbol, was in the middle of a

317
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: six year run. Is the most popular car in America

318
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: for years. I should know this off the dome aries

319
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: before Taurus. Oh that makes it sound so easy, Alex.

320
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: This game is not going well for you. Maybe there's

321
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: time to rally Colin. Some Vegas sports books lost over

322
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: a million dollars after two teams went from worst to

323
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: first to meet in the World Series. The Atlanta Braves

324
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: were hundred one to win the n O Pennant. They

325
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 1: lost in the World Series in seven games to this

326
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: team who were a hundred one to win the World Series.

327
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: Let mean Jack Morrison, the Twins. Here's what's unfair. That's

328
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: what's unfair. Colin is the only other person on this

329
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: podcast who's old like me. You too old. You're just

330
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: an old man. He lived through all these things. He

331
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: might have been driving a FOURD Taurus. He might have

332
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: been listening to Mariah Carey on c D S was

333
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: the birth of Nirvana. So no, I was listening to

334
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: never Mind and I wasn't able to drive, And if

335
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: I would have been I had O J's Broncos so

336
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: Ford Broncos out of a Ford Taurus. So all right,

337
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: So maybe I was listening to Mariah and c DS

338
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: and I was driving a four tour us while also

339
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: watching that World Series. Here we go, next question, as

340
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: we celebrate Rutger's return to March Madness for the first

341
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: time since. If you could bring back one thing from

342
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: the early nineties to immediately improved sports betting today, what

343
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: would you choose? Colin Europe first technology has made the

344
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: gambling space better for consumers, better for betters. Actually it's

345
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: been better for bookmakers. What got me in trouble with

346
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: my parents back then is that I called a one

347
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: number and my parents thought that I was calling like

348
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: for like, you know, some sort of dirty girl one

349
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: number thing. No, I was calling a touts hotline because

350
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: apparently he was standing on the sideline of a two

351
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: lane football game and I needed to know if a

352
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: running back is playing. If we could bring something back

353
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: from the past, the age of the one numbers, and

354
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have touts. The number should go straight to

355
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: beat writers that are on the basketball court on the

356
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: football field telling us who's in warmups, Who looks a

357
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: little shaky. Who's got to take a ship? Right? I

358
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: mean this apparently handicapping Lamar Jackson and Paul Pears bowel

359
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: movements are a thing now, so it's I need a

360
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: one numbers straight to the field. I love that idea.

361
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I used to call three one three,

362
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: which was sports phone, every ten minutes to get updates

363
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: on scores. That's the kind of world we were living in.

364
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: You're just an old man. Also, not for nothing. One time,

365
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: my buddy's mom did happen to get on the phone

366
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: when we call the different kind of nine number, and

367
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: she was asking us a lot of questions. Alex, look

368
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: back into your infant memories and tell me one thing

369
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: that could come back. They would improve sports betting today. Chat,

370
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: I gotta go with bullyball. I'm sorry. I'm sick of

371
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: these little baby back whistles, the hardened flops, the Italy

372
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: Siri odd dives, whatever you wanna call them. I missing

373
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 1: eighties six game when I was in diapers. Everyone hammer

374
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: in the under. If they played playoff basketball all year,

375
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: it would make for a better product in terms of gambling.

376
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get bailed out by the whistle. The

377
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: rest is screwing us every other day, and I gotta

378
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: bring back some elbows and some jugglers getting hit and

379
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: a couple of bloody noses. I like that idea. I

380
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: think that's a really good idea. Bullyball. Bullyball. Bill lamp

381
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: here with it all right, Simon, this is your chance

382
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: make a move. If I to bring anything back from

383
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: it would be your jet black hair. I don't know

384
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: how it was so black back then, but I'm looking

385
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: at these photos and I can't get over how dark

386
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: your hair used to be. So I can bring any back,

387
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: anything to improve my gambling life, it would be Chad's

388
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: jet black hair. I swear to God, I think you

389
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: look great for there. I agree with you, Simon. Somehow

390
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: it's come down to you and Alex Monico. I am

391
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: gonna go with Simon because why why why yet? Black hair.

392
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: The reason why he's saying that is because over the

393
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: past few days since we announced the deal with Colin

394
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: and Volume Podcast Network, there have been a couple of

395
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: pictures floating around of me on the set of Colin's

396
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: Sunday Morning Football show when we were both at EUSt

397
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: PN and I look like, I'm twelve years old and

398
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: I've got the most glorious head of jet black hair.

399
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: I look freaking fantastic. I'm gonna tell you this, Alex.

400
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: If Chad doesn't work out here at the Action networking

401
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: with the volume, he's definitely got a job as a

Speaker 1: Pack twelve football referee. Al Right, Part four Alum is.

Speaker 1: about random schools and their quasi famous alumni. Virginia is

Speaker 1: an incredible art Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson, I started laughing

431
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of that question because I'm thinking of

432
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: like all the stuff that we have to be doing

433
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: right now at the Action Network to get ready for

434
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: March Madness. And I got Matt Mitchell, who I know

435
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: is in a dark room looking for these kinds of questions. Uh,

436
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: all right, Colin, this is another one for you. Last

437
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: two questions of this round. This ESPN insider graduated from

438
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: ninth seeded St. Bonaventure and is famous for NBA social

439
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: media news bombs that bear his nickname, Adrian will Janowski.

440
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: That is correct, Simon, last question. One of twelve seeded

441
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: Georgetown's most famous alums is this late twentieth century U

442
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: S president who received a bachelor's degree from their School

443
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: of Foreign Service in Clinton, Bill Clinton. If you had

444
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: said Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Barack Obama, I also would

445
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: have given you credit. It's Bill Clinton. But you always

446
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: get the right answer. Bill Clinton also one of two

447
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: two presidents I've met. Bill Clinton also joining me in

448
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: a ton of games and Bud Walton Arena in the

449
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: mid nineties. Totally did that whoo pig SUI famous. The

450
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: lambs are great, but there's no greater ambassador for college

451
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: hoops program than it's mascot. Looking at the round one matchups,

452
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: handicap your favorite mascot matchup, including the money line and

453
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: who you are taking, Colin your first There's a favorite

454
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: in there that would probably have short odds, and sometimes

455
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: it's okay to bet fat favorites. Think of Floyd Madeweather

456
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: against Connor McGregory, you had to hammer it. And so

457
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: when you look at Drexel going up against Illinois, you

458
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of think of Mario the Magnificent, the Dragon for Drexel,

459
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: and he should be about a minus four hundred favorite

460
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: because he's going up against the Fighting a Lion I.

461
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: But what you don't think about is the fighting a

462
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Lion I are going through in a complete identity change.

463
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Their new mascot is now a bird called Kingfisher, and

464
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: I quote is known for taking a high speed dive.

465
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: I will lay minus four d minus five of under

466
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: minus six hundred against any bird that represents a high

467
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: speed dive and represents a team run by Brett Bilma.

468
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: So yes, give me Mario the Magnificent of Drexel minus

469
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: five hundred. I'll lay it all day, bank account, kids,

470
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: college fund everything. I will tell you right now. My

471
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: other son is Uh has applied to colleges once to

472
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: study game design. One of the best game design programs

473
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: in the country is at Drexel. I am very aware

474
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: of what Drexel was and of the dragons, and I

475
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: am with you. I love the Dragons as a nickname.

476
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: I love the dragons in this matchup as an Illinoisan,

477
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: I am annoying they've changed it to this Kingfisher that

478
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: takes a dive. In sports, the last thing you want

479
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: to do is be connected to anything that takes a dive.

480
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: Alex got a long way to go to climb out

481
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: of this word. Buddy, I'm gonna go with I think

482
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: what is the most highly anticipated first round matchup? And

483
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: from a mascot standpoint, Chad, I'm gonna go with Ramseys.

484
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: The Dorset ram for the tar heels at a little minus.

485
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: I would say probably one fort because Bucky the Badger

486
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin looks pesky. But I've seen the Dorset ram

487
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: when he gets snickers hangry. I gotta be honest. I'm

488
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: taking those horns all day long to run over Bucky.

489
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: Maybe give a little tar heel Cobra Kai high kick.

490
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if there's enough time,

491
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: but I will swallow the little bit of juice. Give

492
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: me Ramassies. It's also like a like a Game of Thrones.

493
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Name if we're calling a spade of spade just Ramesses

494
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: doesn't lose till Bucky the Badger. I think that's really interesting.

495
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Badgers are They are tough, but Bucky the Badger is

496
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: no honey badger. So I don't mind this one. Uh signon,

497
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: you're up next. I feel like this one is really easy.

498
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: Almost heaving West Virginia a mountain near. I mean, the

499
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: guy has a gun and he's playing against Morehead State,

500
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: who was just a bird. I woulna take a mountain

501
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: a mountaineer with a gun to beat a bird every time,

502
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: So I'd make these odds minus ten thousands, like I'm

503
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: now near killing a bird. That's just time and practice.

504
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: So for me, I love the odds. West Virginia's mascot

505
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: let something you are a hundred percent correct? Of course,

506
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: it's the guy with the shotgun. You went again. It's

507
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: unkenny to me that you keep pulling these out in

508
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: the last second. Here we go, Part five. The Action

509

Speaker 1: got betting tools, it lets you follow friends and experts

514
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: to see what they're betting. It's incredible, but that doesn't

515
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: mean it can't get better in this segment, and your

516
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: job is to pitch me a brand new app future.

517
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't care how expensive about Land is potentially dangerous

518
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: it might be as long as it moves the needle

519
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 1: and helps us serve gamblers better. We also call this

520
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: this shameless promotion section. Simon, you're a first Definitely for me,

521
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest thing with be something that

522
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: can help me when I'm underneath the influence of alcohol.

523
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: It's eleven thirty midnight. I've just seen the whole five

524
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: pizza and I mean and met ball sub and I

525
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: see the seventies sixes or minus seven against some terrible team,

526
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, let's put a grand

527
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 1: on it. This feels good. And then you wake up

528
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: the next morning You're just like, oh my god, why

529
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: did I just bet that amount of money on this

530
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: team that never covers as a favorite. So for me,

531
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: I would love if the action never I don't know

532
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: if it was like a breathalyzer or something, but something

533
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: that establishes that I'm sober and clear minded while I

534
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: make this bet that would be a great update to

535
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: the app. Pretty good, Pretty good, Colin, you're one of

536
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: the biggest followed experts in the app. You must have

537
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: a theory here. Well, First off, I disagree with Simon

538
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: because I think you should get achievement points and you

539
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: should unlock things when you're drunk and you go into breathalyzer.

540
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: Like you have achieved the ability to bet on a

541
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: YI football game at midnight, you have to be drunk

542
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: to watch that and bet on it. One of the

543
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: best ideas we could ever come up with is an

544
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: action bumble slash tender slash dating right where you hop

545
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: into the app a radius of fifty to a hundred

546
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: miles around you, you find other degenerates that want to gamble.

547
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: You left or right swipe them looking at squareness. I

548
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: want to bet against these people and take their money. Well,

549
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: he looks sharp. I'm gonna swipe left. He looks sharp.

550
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm swiped. Oh this guy, I can take his money.

551
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: He's wearing the gear of the home team. I know

552
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: that he's gonna lay a stupid price. Action tender action bumble.

553
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: But for de generates to get together and do peer

554
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: to peer betting against each other. There's nobody who loves

555
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: to judge people on the surface more than me. This

556
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: is an incredible, incredible idea, Alex. You gotta redeem yourself here, man,

557
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to dumb and dumber, totally double up the gloves,

558
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: redeem myself. Jack. You may get into a second strategic

559
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: partnership by the end of this ari e Gold pitch.

560
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: I just used it earlier. I talked about Chasing if

561
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: you could partner with Chase Inc Organic with it to

562
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: help people with lack of discipline. Not saying that's me,

563
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: but I'm saying that's me. When you start opening up

564
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: the live betting boom Chase protection, we don't want to

565
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: see you go broke, Chad. This is not only brilliant

566
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: your shark tank leaving money on the table right now.

567
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: This could be sign seal and delivered by the end

568
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: of the week. I will make the necessary calls on

569
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: a walk and talk until I closed the deal. I

570
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: won't sleep until I closed the deal. We gotta do

571
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: a deal for responsible gaming to get people to stop betting.

572
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? That is absolutely not what

573
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying. First of all, I didn't hear anybody else

574
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: bring in a brand to give me a little parlay

575
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: two for one on a sales pitch. It could be

576
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: a pop up, just letting people know. Like poor Simon

577
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: after a meatball sub, Hey man, do you really want

578
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: to chase his sixers minus seven? Personally think this is

579
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: bur I'm gonna go out and prove you wrong and

580
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: get them to say yes on this. If you don't

581
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: like the idea, chat, I'm gonna let you do that. Alex,

582
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: I am going to let you take this idea into

583
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the market when you when you sell it, I'm going

584
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: to pay you big. I'm gonna let you get a

585
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 1: piece of the profits. The winner in this, of course,

586
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: it's got to be Simon who doesn't want like action Breathalyzer.

587
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: It's it's brilliant. Collins was spectacular. I'll take this up

588
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: with the product development team. All right, this is the

589
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: grand finale. Here is the current score. Colin is ahead

590
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: with ten points. Simon has eight points. Alex has five points.

591
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: But I have no idea at what point he actually got.

592
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: So the topic right now is greatest of all time.

593
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: How much would you like to risk? Please text your

596
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: is coached by Jim Behan, the longest tenure coach in

597
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: college basketball. The Orange promoted in the head coach on

598
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: April third, ninety six, just four days earlier in the

599
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six and C Double A championship game. This team,

600
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: considered by some to be the greatest college basketball team

601
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: of all time, crushed Michigan has six pointed favorites. They

602
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: remain the last undefeated champions in college basketball history. Who

603
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:34,480

Speaker 1: try to give you every point in the world and

608
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: yet you blow it. In Alex, your answer, it's the

609
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: lusions in Neahusier, what did you wager? Since I'm half

610
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: the man Colin is on this program, I wagered all

611
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: of it. All right, Listen, you've got ten points right now.

612
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: If Colin did not wager at least one point or

613
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: he got the wrong answer somehow miraculously Alex Monico, He's

614
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: going to win this game. Colin, give me your wager.

615
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: Give me your answer. Well, Colin wagers seven points to

616
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: stay ahead of Simon from all of the pack. Twelve

617
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: flagging I've been getting in this whole entire episode. It

618
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: was quite a diversion by you, because this is a

619
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: Chad Millman run podcast, and no Chad Millman run podcast

620
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: ends without an answer being Indiana basketball. So I like

621
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: how you started off with Jim Beheim and you try

622
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: to like deflect with the year, but I know the

623
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: answer is going to be Indiana because it's you. I

624
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: had it typed into Mitchell before you even finished Indiana

625
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: seven points. So a lot of obfuscation went with Syracuse

626
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: early on your hundred percent rights. Indiana University. They went

627
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: undefeated in nineteen seventy six. They beat their Big Ten

628
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: rival in Michigan in the championship game. That was a

629
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: legendary college basketball team. Of course, thematically, what is Gonzaga

630
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: trying to do. They're trying to finish the season undefeated

631
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: and as n C double a college basketball champions All right, folks,
