C (4:04)

So the question is this Rosier is the one that was investigated. They had kind of been looking into this one, right?

A (4:09)

Yes. But they said, oh, nothing. The NBA didn't find anything. But the FBI kept digging and they found it. They went and counted the winnings at his house. Oh, my God. Then the FBI says that former Raptors player John Day Porter, the one that was the first one to get busted, he was threatened to participate in this because of his gambling debts. They threatened him and so he had to pull out of games early or else they were going to do something to him.

C (4:35)

The Mafia?

A (4:36)

Yes. The rigged poker games occurred in Hamptons, Miami, Las Vegas and Manhattan. The poker scheme targeted victims who were lured to participate in rigged poker games by the chance to play alongside former professional athletes. These athletes included Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones. The FBI says the defendants utilized altered shuffling machines to read the cards in the deck and and then relay the information to an off site operator. The off site operator, known as the quarterback, then sent that information to someone at the table. The FBI also says the defendants utilized other cheating technologies, including poker chip trays that read cards through a hidden camera, special contact lenses and glasses that could read marked cards, and X ray poker tables that could read cards face down. Wow. This is unbelievable.

C (5:32)

These dudes wanted to win at poker. Yeah, poker. That's what I said.

A (5:38)

The FBI says the defendants robbed a victim at gunpoint to acquire a rigged shuffling machine. Oh, my gosh. The FBI has been working on this investigation for four years, with the victim losing. Victims losing at least $7 million. One specific victim lost 1.8 million on their own. The FBI reviewed thousands of hours of video evidence and executed more than two dozen search warrants. These are just accu accusations at this point, but wow, dude, that's bananas.

C (6:16)

Pretty good reading overall. That article. That was informative and you did well.

A (6:20)

I just, I was just reading it off Twitter. This is all just breaking news and this is absolutely nuts. Like, the Portland Trailblazers came out and win their first game of the season. They're feeling good of themselves now they got no head coach.

C (6:33)

Well, is Billups going to coach tomorrow? I wouldn't bet on it.

A (6:42)

Hey, let me check the line of that Trailblazers game. Give me whoever they're playing. I think this might be a little bit of a distraction.

C (6:50)

So you got to wonder, Billups, did he know he was being investigated or was it a secret operation? Is he coaching the team knowing he's currently being investigated and they're going through his house?

A (7:02)

That's a great question.

C (7:03)

Did he go in for any interviews and he had to keep it secret from the NBA and his team and his players and everybody.

A (7:11)

I would assume that he had no idea they were coming after him. I would assume that when they knocked on his door at like 3am after they win their season opening game, he's like, what? Who's at my door at 3:00am? The FBI. Bud. You going to prison.

C (7:27)

So wonder which one started first, the poker or the players going out of the game early for player props.

A (7:35)

Good question.

C (7:35)

Because player props, they probably realized they were only getting a couple hundred thousand. Risking a guy's entire career.

A (7:41)

Not really worth it. No.

C (7:42)

So then they said, let's do the poker. At least we won't involve these players that will never play again. Yeah.

A (7:48)

And it's pretty obvious when you this whoever, whatever NBA player, like, on average there's $500 to $1,000 bet on his props total. And then one night, $200,000 is like, oh, wonder what that is all about. That's weird.

C (8:05)

And I want to say that had to be placed in Vegas just because our sites don't even let us place that much.

A (8:11)

I think when you have enough money, you can bet it online, Ray.

C (8:14)

It checks how much you make. You must not make a lot.

A (8:17)

No, I'm just saying. I don't know. I've never tried to place a big bet like that.

C (8:20)

Thought it said ten thousands of max.

A (8:22)

Oh, really? Yeah. Hole Lee Crap.

C (8:26)

But yeah, that's a pretty obvious one. Just. Just knowing that guys, nobody's ever going to place a $200,000 bet on a player prop. And then one comes in. Let's flag that one and look into it.

A (8:37)

Like, how dumb are we? Like, how dumb are we?

C (8:40)

And they stopped at 200,000. They. Why not run it up for a million?

A (8:45)

Hey, let's. Terry Rosier, under four and a half rebounds are over.

C (8:50)

That's pretty random.

A (8:51)

Let's bet $250,000, Jim. Hey, guys. Yeah, we got a $250,000 bet on under four and a half rebounds. That's weird because the most that anybody's ever bet on Rosie or rebounds is $50. Yeah, we might want to look at that one.

C (9:07)

Yeah, and it's one of those too, where these prop bets. I was trying to think, in my heyday I was doing hundreds, maybe a thousand, but $200,000 on a prop bet.

A (9:22)

And then Chauncey Billups, because the opposite.

C (9:25)

If you're not rigging it, which is what they do with the poker, if you're not rigging the NBA, talking to the players, telling them to do an under who take a fall, that is.

A (9:34)

The biggest sweat of your life.

C (9:35)

Remember, the opposite is the guy can get hurt. Say you're betting the over and the guy gets hurt. So nobody would ever. Because a guy can get hurt on a football team and you could still win the bet. If a guy gets hurt on an over under, you lose instantly.

A (9:48)

Yeah.

C (9:49)

So that's what I'm saying. No, a shark or not a shark, but these whales always want action. They want a full game action. The problem with over unders on a player is it makes it so that there's not full game action with an injury.

A (10:05)

My question is, how do you, like, how does Chauncey Billups get involved in this? Did Chauncey Billups.

C (10:12)

It sounds like it's all poker related with the sports betting all tied together.

A (10:16)

Yeah. But I'm wondering, was Chauncey Billups in debt for gambling? Does he have a gambling problem? Does he like to gamble? And they're like, look, man, don't worry about your gambling debts that you owe us. Just come to these poker games and we'll, we'll take care of it from there.

C (10:31)

Wait, he was busted with the poker.

A (10:33)

He was busted, yeah. Chauncey Billups was the poker. So my question is, did they say, hey man, you come to these poker games, we'll pay you $100,000? Or how does he get him? Because $100,000 of Chauncey Billups is nothing. He's made $100 million.

C (10:51)

Well, for these guys, they were all losers. For Chauncey, he wasn't up and did it. He was probably down and did it. He was chasing for Terry Rosier. He was chasing for Giante. He was chasing and had to pay him back. These are all guys that had the bug, the gambling bug. It got him. It was going after him pretty good. And they didn't know how to defend it other than use some sort of tactic like this. Cheating?

A (11:20)

Yeah. Chauncey Bose played 17 years in the NBA. He made over $106 million in contracts. Now he's an NBA head coach. So he's getting paid probably 5, 6, 7, 8, $9 million a year, $10 million a year. So he either has a huge gambling problem and is in debt, or he just likes to gamble. And these guys got hold of it and said, hey, you like to gamble. Don't even worry about it. You don't have to use your own money. We, we'll pay you to come sit at this table while we rip these other dudes off. And he's like, man, so I'm going to get paid a million dollars or $500,000 or you're going to give away my gambling debts? He can no longer coach in the NBA because just imagine this, he goes into the locker room. All right, guys, listen up, man. Tonight we got to go out there and try our best. Well, Coach, do you have us winning tonight or not winning tonight? I need to know, is this game rigged like your poker games? You know how you say don't gamble because it can get you kicked out of league? Well, what about you and your poker games that were fixed and you guys were ripping people off?

C (12:24)

Here's the question. So you're telling me it's the same agency, if you will? I know you're not the expert on this. You're not charms, but I will say so if it is the Italian mob. Is that what you had said?

A (12:37)

That is what it said, allegedly on Twitter.

C (12:39)

Okay, so Chauncey Billups is an athlete, former athlete, now a coach. He's involved heavily with athletics. And you're telling me this Italian mob had a position at poker and they had a position in sports? Chauncey Billups is massively involved with sports, but he wasn't involved with their side of the it situation with sports, but only their poker sect.

A (13:01)

My thought was, when I first read it, what they were doing is they were betting, betting on whoever's on their team. DeAndre Ayton was on their team last year. And he. They were like, all right, we have deandre Ayton under nine and a half rebounds. So in the middle of the third quarter, Chauncey Bills gets. He starts yelling at DeAndre Ayton like he missed a defensive assignment. Since him on the bench for the rest of the game, he only gets seven rebounds. Mafia wins their bets. Now there's they, they aren't saying that's what happened, but in my head, that's where it went. He can control so much more as a coach because he controls their minutes.

C (13:37)

The Sleuths will probably pull some stuff. I imagine that'll be surfacing in the coming days, that is. But because listen, you know what was one of the recent coaches in college NFL? Was it a player? Was it a coach? Lane Kiffin. He said, ah, they're stealing our signs. A sleuth went and found not legally stealing it. They were legally stealing signs. A sleuth went and found it. The Oklahoma team, how they were stealing plays and found the exact play where he knew a slant was going to happen. And the guy, this Oklahoma player, did you ever see that press conference happened like two days ago? Lane Kiffin goes, yeah, you got to watch out Oklahoma or watch out that Auburn game, it seems like they're stealing plays. They know what's coming. You see this Oklahoma player make a break on the ball, and I mean it. The only way you make that break is if you know the play that's getting called. And the Sluice found it within a day.

A (14:23)

I have a question though. What is wrong with stealing signs? Nothing.

C (14:28)

But then Lane Kiffin calls him out for it and you go, is it sour grapes or does Lane Kiffin have something to be mad about? Oh, he did. That guy knew.

A (14:36)

But what's wrong with it? He's if you. Nothing.

C (14:38)

He just said, hey, but you better be care. He goes, go with the difference. Run different plays, run a different set of play play signs. Because then the reporter goes, well, what are you going to run something different? And he goes, well, I'm a coach and tactically I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to run. But if you're a co. If you're out there and you're playing this team, better change up your plays.

A (14:56)

That's pretty good.

C (14:56)

So it was cool though, that the Sleuths were able to support it.

A (14:58)

I mean that. It's just wild. To me, that's. That's what happened. I mean, Rosier is in the hotel room. They're trying to arrest him because he's wanted by the FBI. That is so crazy.

C (15:09)

So Rosier, was he in the league right now?

A (15:10)

Yeah, he's on the Heat.

C (15:12)

Okay. And John Tay Murray.

A (15:15)

No, he's banned for life.

C (15:17)

That already happened.

A (15:17)

That already happened. He is banned for life, can never play in the NBA.

C (15:20)

And he was good.

A (15:21)

He was decent. He was carving out a role where he was about to get paid. Like a good role player was going to get paid. He was going to get a couple million dollars a year. And now he could never play again. I mean, he may be able to go overseas. I don't know how that works, but he may be overseas playing. He may be in prison. I don't know where he is. But it turns out that he didn't do it voluntarily, that he was threatened and said, hey, you're going to do this. So then my question is, did he flip on the Mafia? And now he's really got to be.

C (15:46)

Worried with the over unders.

A (15:49)

No, with his life. If he flipped to the FBI and told on the mafia and said, hey, man, this is what's going on.

C (15:57)

So that he was able to get out of some stuff.

A (15:58)

Right. This is. Wow.

C (16:02)

So the Italian mob comes over here. They didn't want to go overseas, basketball or anything. They wanted to infiltrate the association.

A (16:13)

They want to be where the stars are at. And I think the biggest stars are in the NBA and the NFL. And there's probably maybe the Italian mob lives in America now. Maybe these are the guys from New York. Yo, Johnny, let's get a. Let's get Chauncey on the line. We need to get him out here for a poker game. All right. Yeah. And we'll have some pizza and some pasta. Yay.

C (16:33)

Yeah. You usually can't even bet that much on props. They. They do that for a reason that you could potentially have a little bit more inside information on a particular player than Vegas. So never can you just go to Vegas and be like, hey, on a prop, I'm going to do a quarter of a million. They have limits, and I guarantee they cap those at 10,000, 20,000. So you have to get all these restrictions taken off before you can even make that bet.

A (16:54)

Or you have people placing a $10,000 bet on his unders, which is sus. I mean, that. Man, I never realized. But I guess these guys, what we don't understand is they're adrenaline junkies. Right. They love something like Michael Jordan loved to gamble.

C (17:13)

Well, you're saying these guys, let's just group them all together. They loved winning that much or they needed to pay stuff back.

A (17:21)

Yeah. But they get so much into debt because they have so much money, and they think, oh, this is easy. And they bet one game, they lose, they bet another game, they lose, bet another game, they lose. Next thing you know, they're 3 million in the hole. And they're like, how am I ever going to get out of this, I'll just bet one more game and they lose again.

C (17:40)

It'd be fun. Not fun. It would be interesting. If 10 people walk out of Vegas, get to the airport, you ask all 10 of them how they did. I bet one or two of them were profitable, eight of them were losers. So at this poker game, we're learning if rosier. All these guys, there's a lot of losers in gambling.

A (17:58)

A lot of losers.

C (17:59)

And so they were all trying to, in a way, I don't know if allegedly. It just sounds like they're trying to win back some money. So they're trying to become winners by cheating.

A (18:07)

Yeah. And they were trying to pay back their gambling debts, obviously.

C (18:11)

And it can rack up. We learned from the interpreter, Ohtani, that goes fast. That amount can get pretty high.

A (18:16)

Which they must be just gambling on everything, because my whole thing is if you're rich, right. And you're where gambling is legal, and let's say you have $100 million. If you bet on a team, let's say you bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder. A million dollars and they lose. Right?

C (18:35)

Right.

A (18:36)

Okay, next game, just bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder again, $2 million.

C (18:41)

I believe that's called Marconi's, Merriam Webster's.

A (18:46)

Don't know.

C (18:47)

One of those Machiavellians.

A (18:50)

Okay, whatever. $2 million, you lose. Okay, next game, bet 3 million. Because if you have 100 million, this is nothing to you. And eventually they're going to cover where you get your money back. If you just bet on the same team over and over and over again.

C (19:07)

Correct. That's why Vegas wins, because they have the deeper pockets. And it's my guy. John Sarasani always says, all these kids go from college. Let me just sum it up real quickly. He said they go to Vegas with 200 and they expect to make 10,000. You should expect to make, let's say, five to 10 times your money. Whereas 10,000 is way too high. And so what he's saying is he goes there with half or he goes there with quarter of a million. And he goes, Vegas only wins because they have deeper pockets. What if I go there with a quarter of a million? So he does. And usually he wins because he just keeps doing that. At Blackjack, he'll go 10,000, 20,000, double down, double down. And what you learn is, yeah, he's.

A (19:43)

Like a $20,000 on bike jack, hand.

C (19:46)

On a hand, high limit, every room. So what? What he's proving is as long as you compete nut to nut with Vegas. Hey, I Got just as much as you do, then it actually ends up being pretty equal. Whereas the average person, you and me, you're never gonna make 10,000 because it's unrealistic to expect that much times your money unless you win a slot or something. But you should be happy with 2000, which, which is awesome. Which is what you want because you were happy with that.

A (20:13)

I was so excited about that. That's like a freaking dream.

C (20:16)

If p. Everybody ended up being happy with that, most people would leave winners. Except you keep shooting for that 10,000. We don't have the pockets for it.

A (20:24)

It's wild. It's just wild, dude. I mean, I don't know what's going to happen. Like, I don't know. Like. So rosier can't play one.

C (20:32)

Ridley gambled and. But he's allowed to now play back in the sports.

A (20:36)

He wasn't betting when he was playing or on over unders. He was just betting on spreads when he was out injured.

C (20:41)

Got it.

A (20:42)

He was just betting, you know, teams. Like he did a little parlay, like a $20 parlay because he was at the casino down in Florida while he was rehabbing and he said he was sad and lonely and he just wanted to feel a part of it. And he feels bad, but he's like, I didn't see anything wrong with it.

C (21:02)

He's betting a $20 parlay.

A (21:03)

I think that's what it was.

C (21:04)

Just to feel it.

A (21:06)

Just to feel. Let me, let me, let me google Calvin Ridley parlay bet. I mean it really, it really wasn't a lot of money. It wasn't like millions of dollars. Ridley parlay parlay. Okay.

B (21:26)

He.

A (21:28)

In 2022, he bet on non some football lines. A couple of. Ridley placed at least three bets. A three team, five team and eight team parlays. His parlays included betting on the Falcons to win their game. According to reports, he placed them on the mobile app in Florida. It doesn't say how much, but. Yeah, that's. I mean, it's just crazy. That's crazy, dude. So that tells you. A lot of these people in sports are gambling.

C (21:57)

So that tells you. Maybe there's a reason why they rolled it out pretty slowly here in America.

A (22:01)

Yeah, maybe we didn't need this mass thing where every gambling is so legal and widely accessible. Maybe it was a bad idea to.

C (22:09)

Just keep Abby asking me on a good guy to score a touchdown. What. What do you mean? First touchdown score. Who do you think would be a good one for the game on Sunday?

A (22:18)

Okay, sorry. What yeah, Abby, like you don't even know about football. So maybe we shouldn't be betting. Maybe we should just. But this is crazy. Okay? He pit six bets for $3,900.

C (22:31)

A little bit different than 20 bucks.

A (22:32)

A little bit different than twenty bucks.

C (22:34)

You're talking like Arnold's amount, dude.

A (22:36)

Yeah.

C (22:39)

Ray, you're not gonna believe this. He placed a $20 bet.

A (22:44)

Oh, man. I, I, I, I just, I mean, Chauncey Billis. What is he thinking when the FBI is at his house? Is he just like, damn, my life's over?

C (22:56)

Well, because with the cheating at poker, the amount of money and, and it's different states. You said Miami. Nantucket.

A (23:04)

Yeah, Hamptons.

C (23:05)

That's how it becomes federal.

A (23:07)

Dang. Yeah. All right, we'll take a break, man. Maybe we shouldn't do locks this weekend because we may get busting some gambling ring. FBI may be listening. I don't know, but maybe they swoop in at coaches Convention 5 and arrest all of us.

C (23:22)

Cappy.

A (23:22)

Cappy. Brandon Hill locker if he shows up. Caraway Arnold for prostitution. Oh, man, that'd be bad. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

A (25:38)

Yeah, no, you got to do the intro. I don't think we ever started the show.

C (25:42)

Do we need to?

A (25:43)

Yeah, we absolutely need to. I mean, they don't know who we are. And, you know, all the new listeners that we get daily on the daily. They have no idea who's talking right now.

C (25:53)

And you want to know how stupid this is going to sound. So when you do your intro, do you give a rip about it?

A (25:59)

Yeah, you do. I care. What do you mean?

C (26:02)

Do I. I kind of just go through it. I don't know if I put emphasis. I just try to. It's always the exact same thing. I really don't even care how I say it. And then I go over to you, man. Oh, wow, you actually try to make it good.

A (26:15)

Yeah, I try to hit it perfectly.

C (26:17)

Because I just realized this the other day listening to Don Hammer.

A (26:22)

Don. Don.

C (26:24)

Pat McAfee.

A (26:25)

Yeah.

C (26:26)

On his intro, he always ends it with my beautiful people. Couldn't even tell you. Damn it. What it is. It's. If I sat in my vehicle, I would know exactly what it was, but because I'm not at the space where I listened to it. Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to the Thunderdome. That's how he starts it.

A (26:46)

Okay.

C (26:47)

He didn't start it with any emphasis. Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to the Thunderdome. He kind of just cruised through it and didn't put his emphasis that he does on it. And I was like, what the F, dude? If you're gonna intro it like you do, I want to hear the freaking intro to hear.

A (27:02)

I fast.

C (27:02)

I rewind all the way to the very intro. So I hear, welcome to the Thunderdome, just so I can hear that part. And I thought, I wonder if people listen to our show like that.

A (27:13)

So what you're saying is he mailed it in one day and it changed? Yeah.

C (27:18)

I was like, wow. Because of that, I'm always going to do our intro with emphasis.

A (27:23)

That's Funny, because I used to watch PTI every day and now they're not in the same studio. It doesn't have the same chemistry it was. You know, it's lost a little bit of its luster. But I still enjoy Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser. And whenever they would go on vacation, I'd be like, why are they taking. Why are they gone for a whole week? What the hell is this? And then I realize now that people look at us the same way, oh, they're on vacation again. Oh, my gosh. They took a whole week off. And I'm like, you idiot. They obviously deserved a week off. They obviously are okay to take a day off if they're tired or they got plans or they're going on a trip. Why was I so quick to get mad at them? But it's because they were a daily part of my life that I was like, I want them every single day. And when they went on vacation, I'd be like, what? How? Why would they go vacation this time? What difference does it make when they go on vacation?

C (28:18)

And when they went on vacation, they'd always have a fill in.

A (28:20)

Oh, my gosh, not them.

C (28:21)

But I would always judge Colin Cowherd as fill in. I'd be like, this dude's freaking terrible.

A (28:25)

Yep.

C (28:26)

But I would compare him to Cowherd and what you guys are going to realize now that everybody has a podcast is you'll never be Lunchbox. You'll never be me. You can only be the best you. And when Cowherd would get a fill in, I would compare the fill in to Cowherd and the guy sucked. I'll be like, oh, my gosh, this is the most untalented guy ever. I could do this any day of the week. But now, years later, I look back at the people that filled in and I hear them now on tv because one of the guys, Nick Wright.

A (28:53)

Yep.

C (28:54)

These people are so talented, it would blow your mind. Do they have great producers? Yes, I'm a producer for the big show Shout Out.

A (29:03)

Greg Tuohy, he's the producer for Cowherd. He is an Anderson High School graduate in Austin, Texas, and he played baseball at the one and only Balcony's Little League. So hopefully Greg Tuohy is still part of the Cowherd show. But yes, he moved to LA and just got into it, man. He got into the business.

C (29:24)

Thank you, Greg Tuohy, for your service for the Vietnam hitters. We are the best team. There was no thank you, Greg.

A (29:32)

I believe in the majors in majors 12 and 12, he was on the Braves with Marty Hardy. And then in basketball in high school, he played with Marty Hardy and them and they were so freaking good. Back to back state runner ups in the state of Texas. So, yeah, Greg Tuohy doing great things out there in la, man. Congratulations.

C (29:53)

And so now I get in this even bigger warp or where I listen to Bobby Bones from the bank show and I will never be Bobby Bones, but if you actually just listen to the way that he'll tell stories and news articles, the way he actually breaks down a news article, it would blow your mind. And so you'll never. I'll never be Bobby Bones. And I finally realize that I'll just be myself. And I hope you take this with you. When you go to your job, you're never gonna be your boss. You're never gonna be six, six and in a suit. You're your own version of a boss if you ever wanted to be that. But so, yeah, so that's how I with hosts and us and our intros do it. Freaking good intro, man.

A (30:35)

Do it like you mean it. The people like Cowherd. What's so impressive about them is it's only them talking. They are talking to themselves and. And they do it for three hours and they're entertaining.

C (30:50)

Right. You can't do that. But I can. I'm actually meant to have my own show. I could talk to where I'm not talking to somebody would be easier. It's difficult for me on the bank show because I'm a six man off the bench. I'm not meant to be a bench player. I'm a starter. And so that's different for me. On here you and me are splitting double duties. This is big pickleball with two players. I play pickleball with one man. So this is a little bit more difficult for me.

A (31:16)

So you think you could sit here and do an hour podcast or 45 minutes by yourself?

C (31:21)

Yeah, because that's what I grew up with. Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd. Dan Patrick at one point was just himself. Now those guys chime renters a lot more.

A (31:31)

And now, now Cow Herd has the. The sidekick. He used to have a woman, Michelle.

C (31:35)

Beetle, which somebody needs to tell. Coward. He was so much better by himself and now he bounces every idea the other guy's good.

A (31:42)

And if again they're Jason McIntyre.

C (31:46)

I listen to the show in 10 years. I moved to Macavy. I moved to other shows and then MacVee. But Cowherd, what he doesn't Realize is he was amazing solo, but now he thinks he has to bounce everything off his side. Guy, you don't get rid of him.

A (32:00)

Here's the probably the thing. Cowherd probably doesn't watch as many sports now. He has other things going on in life. So that guy he's bouncing it off of probably watches more of the actual games. So that's why he's bouncing it off more is my guess. I don't know. That is a fact.

C (32:15)

Well, that's a great point, because what I've learned with McAfee is you'll hear all these chimer inners and we'll do the intro here in a minute.

A (32:22)

Thank you.

C (32:22)

McAfee has so many people chime in, but if you actually break it down, each person has their specialty. So Ty, he's the baseball expert. He'll bring on ba. Bruce Arians, he's the coach expert. He'll bring on aq. Shipley, he's the line expert. He brings on debut. Darius Butler, he's the dbs expert. He brings on hammer. Don, he's the college football expert. A little NFL, but he's the betting expert.

A (32:50)

You know what's crazy is we don't need all that. We are the college football experts. Where the NFL experts, we're the gambling experts, we're all that tied into one. So we don't need to bring someone on to talk about that.

C (33:00)

Well, if we ever talk about the downtown scene, we bring on Arnold.

A (33:04)

Right?

C (33:04)

I know the bars.

A (33:05)

I know the ladies, what they like to wear.

C (33:07)

Girls wearing whale tails. You know, stuff. We're going commando. I know the new outfits downtown in Broadway.

A (33:14)

And if we need to know about the gay bars in the the scene on the. In the nightlife, we bring on a beat. Yeah.

C (33:20)

Just saw him in the bathroom.

A (33:21)

Oh, really? What'd you see?

C (33:23)

Having a full on conversation with Tim and I'm. Guys, can I go the bathroom without both you guys talking through the stall?

A (33:31)

What the. So what did you see? You said you saw him in the bathroom. What? Did. What?

C (33:36)

He was washing his hands. Tim was in there telling jokes. It was a sales guy in there joking. I'm like, guys, do your business and get out, please. What is happening? Bees is telling stories about Spain. Finish what you came in here to do and get out. But let's do the intro. We're gonna do it live alive.

A (33:54)

Whoa.

C (33:58)

Remember we did that one, Joe. We're gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3.

A (34:10)

So loser. What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports. So I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius.

C (34:23)

What up, y'?

A (34:23)

All?

C (34:23)

It's Sizzin. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville. If you're looking at it Geographically, we got 2.2 acres in the country. Me and Bazer, my wife, we've been married five years. Our anniversary is this weekend. So it is on the dot dot five. And we have 2.2 kids at Vanderbilt. Yes. Game day will be a little bit loud for them while they're in the incubator. And they're actually still an egg. They're not an embryo. They haven't been fertilized. So that's that. And then I'll die of a heart attack when I'm 72. Not to get with you guys on biology and embryonic and you know all that. But there you go. Over to you, man.

A (35:05)

Yeah, I'm still not going to go to game day even though I found out it's right down the road. I'm not going. Not going. But I do want to say that we got an email. Pretty funny says coachers. I was watching the Texas A&M vs. Arkansas football game this past weekend. Thanks and gigam. And at the 3:42 minute mark in the second quarter crime music timestamp Terry.

C (35:28)

Rosier took a fall.

A (35:31)

One commentator asked, can't we just put microchips on the balls to accurately determine where the ball should be placed. And the other commentators responds in this economy. Oh, cue the la. Cue the laugh track. Obviously they've been listening to the pod Giga Maggie's Go spurs go Soar Losers Nation for life. Cody Gregory. Pretty funny. Yeah, that's pretty good. We'll take a break and when I come back I'm gonna talk about the greed in corporate America, what happened to me and how I'm just not happy about it. We'll be right back right after this.

A (38:47)

Dude, my, my, my Apple computer, right? I've had it for a few years in this economy. Yeah, it's, it's an amazing computer. The problem is lately I have to finagle the freaking charger at a proper angle to get it to charge. And it doesn't stay. It doesn't. And you gotta have it tilted sideways up, you know, elevated the charger down below it. So frustrating. So I'm like, my computer is wiping out. And the problem is I've downloaded every single episode of the Sore Losers podcast and I've never cleared it off. So every time I post one, I download it to the computer. So I have every episode for the past five years stored in this computer.

C (39:29)

Do they make a charging station? Because I have one for my phone.

A (39:35)

Rich.

C (39:35)

Rich. At home, I just put it on my dresser and it charges throughout the night. And I never have to plug anything in.

A (39:41)

That's cool.

C (39:42)

Banger got it for me. And it lights up and you can change the color. So when it's game day, I put it on orange.

A (39:47)

That's really good. And so I'm like, I got to go to the Apple store, see if they. If there's something wrong with my charging port or whatever, if they can fix it. And let me. Let me tell you, the computer is working because I post the pod on Wednesday, and immediately after posting the pod, I drive to the Apple store. So it's been 30 minutes since my computer was working. And I go in there and I tell them the problem. They're like, oh, here, let me go over here. You know, one of my techs can help you out.

C (40:18)

They're pretty good.

A (40:19)

They're supposed to be Apple geniuses.

C (40:22)

They are the one guy just talked in nerd to me.

A (40:26)

Talked in nerd.

C (40:29)

So actually, if I'm gonna calculate this, I don't really know understand the equivalent of why you would be here. What? Huh.

A (40:36)

That doesn't make any sense. So I go sit at the table. This lady comes out, oh, what's going on today? What can I help you with? I'm like, ah, Lately I've been having some part trouble with my charging. Like, I can't really get the computer cord in there, and it has to be just perfect, Kind of finagle it. I just didn't know if there's something wrong with my computer, the port, or if it's just shorten out and I need a new computer.

C (40:57)

Did she ask you what you do?

A (40:59)

No.

C (41:00)

You just show up in a hoodie. Your hair's all messed up. You look like a porn addict.

A (41:04)

Yeah, I did. I looked like a homeless dude that definitely doesn't have a job. And she's like, do you actually use your computer for anything besides porn? I'm like, yeah, actually I do. I post the sore losers podcast. You can download anywhere. Your podcasts are available. Please subscribe. Subscribe on multiple platforms. Dude, do it on both platforms so we get double the downloads. That would be.

C (41:24)

Are you trying to download a big movie?

A (41:29)

Yeah. Or do you like, oh, I see here you have two copies of Debbie Does Dallas. Maybe that's the problem.

C (41:35)

She's like, so you're only downloading audio. Are you sure there's no video?

A (41:41)

I'm just more of an audio guy. Thank you.

C (41:42)

Well, me and my partner just started doing video. Of course you did.

A (41:48)

So she takes it in the back, and I'm just sitting there. About 10, 15 minutes later, she comes back. She goes up, think your computer's done? I'm like, what? She goes, I think that was it. Think it's time for a new computer.

C (42:05)

I'll make that determination, so please tell me more.

A (42:09)

She goes, oh, I took it back and I opened it up and I disconnected the battery.

C (42:16)

I unscrewed the whole keyboard.

A (42:18)

What? Why? I didn't say anything about unscrewing it and disconnecting the battery. I was just talking about my charging port. That's all I wanted you to look at. She goes, yeah, well, I cleaned that out, and then I opened it up and I disconnected the battery, and now I reconnected it, and there's no signal getting to the battery.

C (42:34)

Oh, no.

A (42:39)

I'm like, wait, wait, but what about the charging port? She goes, well, I can get the charger in there, but now the battery's not getting any signal. After I disconnected it and reconnected it. And I said, well, what about all my. Like, I want to. How do I get all of my stuff off my computer? She goes, it's probably all lost.

C (42:59)

The podcast.

A (43:02)

I said, what do you mean? She goes, yeah, I mean, it's just probably gone. And I'm like, oh. She goes, but, yeah, I mean, I tried. I just didn't. I'm like, well, why did you disconnect the battery? I didn't ask you to do that. I was. And she goes. She goes, well, we can charge it up right here and see what happens. She plugs the charger in, waits about 15 seconds. She goes, see? Nothing. Nothing. It's not working. I'm like, okay. She goes, yeah. And I was like, but I said, it was literally working 30 minutes ago when I posted the pod.

C (43:40)

I can. We can give her the video footage of you using it to look stuff up during the podcast.

A (43:45)

And she goes, yeah, it just must have been on its last leg. No, no, no, no. It wasn't on its last leg. You disconnected the battery and did something.

C (43:54)

So you're essentially the ER room, and you took it off last leg.

A (43:57)

So you're telling me that out of all the things in the world, I just happened to pick the day to come to the Apple Store when it was on its last 30 minutes in the history of this computer's life? I mean, is that a coincidence and.

C (44:12)

I got to experience it with you? Can I at least say some final.

A (44:16)

Thoughts or do we think that you did something when you disconnected the battery? You screwed up the whole system?

C (44:23)

I'm gonna go with, she accidentally, probably shouldn't have done what she did and she screwed up the computer. Probably not that valuable. She'll give you a hundred dollar credit.

A (44:31)

And she goes, oh, here's a card of some company. They may be able to retrieve your information. But I, you know, it's not that I don't know if they'll be able to do it. Acting like it's not a big deal, that she just absolutely crashed my computer.

C (44:45)

You're sweating all of a sudden.

A (44:47)

I'm just sitting there going, what?

C (44:50)

Did you look this dejected?

A (44:52)

Oh, dude, I look rejected. I look so dejected. I looked like absolutely miserable. Because then I'm sitting here going, man, I wanted to keep it. I had bought a hard drive. I'd even bought a hard drive thing, Bobber. Like one of those things you plug into your computer and then you can download stuff to it.

C (45:11)

Yes.

A (45:11)

I don't know what it's called.

C (45:13)

That's what it's called.

A (45:13)

Oh, it is called a hard drive.

C (45:15)

Yeah.

A (45:15)

And I was like, I've been meaning to do that for a month now, and I just never done it. And now I'm not gonna be able to have all the episodes of sore losers. She goes, well, here, pull up your phone. What does she see? If they're on your icloud. No, it's not there. It doesn't look like you're gonna be. It's there like. And she is acting like it is no big deal that she just absolutely wiped my computer and fried it.

C (45:36)

Oh, no.

A (45:38)

She goes, but I can hand you over here to Samantha and she can help you get a new computer if you'd like.

C (45:43)

What's Samantha gonna do, light me on fire?

A (45:49)

And I was like, I don't know if I'm ready for that. She goes, see? And she unplugs it after, you know, and she's like, see, your computer's not getting anything.

C (45:56)

She took it off life support.

A (45:58)

Yeah, that was its last 30 minutes of its life. So I said, I said, I need a minute. And I packed up my stuff.

C (46:09)

Yeah, honey. Hey, I need your help down here.

A (46:12)

And I walked out of the store, sat at the couches right at the bottom of the stairs in the mall, and I called my wife. And I'm just like, well, I guess my computer only had 30 minutes left on it.

C (46:26)

Why did you not hard drive it before?

A (46:29)

She said, what do you mean? I said, oh, because my computer was working 30 minutes ago. And then I show up here, and the lady took it in the back, unscrewed it, and disconnected the battery to test something. And now the computer doesn't work. She goes, well, why'd she do that? Did you ask her to do that? I said, no, I didn't. I said, now I've lost all my. All the sore losers, all the pictures, all. Everything. She goes, I'm sure there's some way we can, you know, figure it out. I'm like, I don't know. So I said, I guess I gotta buy a new computer. I was just coming to get them to check my charging port, and here we are. They have got me to buy a new computer.

C (47:09)

That's new.

A (47:10)

So I went in there and I samantha, all right, you know, what options do I have? And Samantha shows me all the options.

C (47:17)

And, yeah, yearn's fine.

A (47:19)

This is the pro. This is the air. And I'm like, I really just need an air. Because the pro, you do more gidgety, gadgety stuff. And I don't do that much on my computer. I said, but it's just crazy that my computer was working 30 minutes ago and now it doesn't work. She goes, yeah, sometimes they're just on their last legs. Wow.

C (47:37)

I mean, she acts like she's working at a triage unit.

A (47:40)

I know. I'm like, well, it gave no signs that it was on its last legs. So I pick out the computer and I'm like, I'll take this one.

C (47:48)

I mean, if. If we're going back to the crime scene, she needs to prove what she did in those 30 minutes. It all needs to be investigated.

A (47:55)

I agree. I. I feel like she took it apart, messed something up, and then it doesn't work anymore.

C (48:01)

Freaking hates the podcast or something.

A (48:03)

Yeah, she's a freaking.

C (48:05)

What do you listen to? Feeling yourself, Amy?

A (48:08)

Personal. Personal crap. Oh, you talk crap about Morgan. Oh, we'll do this. She's a big Abby fan. Well, I'm a big Abby fan. She's with Arnold. I don't. I want Arnold to be happy.

C (48:18)

You fans of Movie Mike, you crash our podcast.

A (48:21)

This great cross promotion, by the way. So I'm like, all right, I'll take that one. She goes, oh, we actually don't have that color in.

C (48:29)

What, you want pink?

A (48:31)

Nah, it's like a darker, dark gray. And I'm like, what do you mean? She goes, yeah, we don't have that. Let me see when it could be here. It could be her early next week. I'm like, I'm not gonna have a computer for a week.

C (48:40)

Did you tell her you're on the biggest morning show in America?

A (48:44)

I said, I need my computer.

C (48:45)

Oh, addiction. Yeah, it hits us all.

A (48:48)

She goes, you can get porn on.

C (48:50)

Your phone, your hair. If it was even close to as messy as it is right now, this had to be a sight.

A (48:59)

She's looking at you.

C (49:00)

You're so depressed, dude.

A (49:03)

I mean, she never in her wildest.

C (49:05)

Dreams did she think you'd have a huge podcast and morning show she thought you just needed to stream.

A (49:12)

I mean, and the fact that. Here's the fact that I did go in there, okay, it's.

C (49:19)

Quit saying it's crazy. The 30 minutes. Obviously she broke your computer. She doesn't have to be held accountable. And she can get you to get a new one. Because they all know everybody has piece of crap ones their final years. If we took ours in there too, it's the same thing. The guy's like, it's a pile of crap. We can give you nothing for it. Get a new computer. That's how they make them all. They kill. Die after 10 years.

A (49:38)

Yeah. So I'm like, well, what about the other location, you know, on Broadway? Do they have that in the.

C (49:43)

Fix it?

A (49:44)

No, the. The color that I wanted. She goes, they. Yeah, they have a. They have a limited stock, so you may want to hurry over there and get it.

C (49:53)

I'm like, I have 30 minutes.

A (49:54)

Okay? I said, I think that's what I'm going to do. And she goes, okay. And I leave and I go home. I thought about going straight to the Broadway location to get a new Apple computer. And I go home because I haven't eaten lunch yet and I need something to eat. So I get the computer, I put it on the counter, and I plug in the charger, sit down, eating lunch. And about three and a half minutes into my lunch. Ding. Computer turns on. So this lady tells me my computer's absolutely dead, that there's no hope to save it, that they're. That they are out of options. Time to buy a new computer. So basically, she was trying to get me to just buy a new computer. This Apple genius was Apple actually an Apple dumbass. And it was an actual con job that she. She disconnected the battery and then didn't give it enough time on the charger and was ready to sell me a $1500 computer because, oh, Looks like her computer died, man. Yeah, when? When it's not charging like that, it's on the fritz. It must have been life support. Wrong again. Your boy's computer is working better than ever. The charging port, I mean, I don't have to finagle it anymore. I just stick it in there and.

C (51:12)

It works because of something she did.

A (51:14)

She must have cleaned out the port. There must have been some gunk in there. But now it works like a charm.

C (51:19)

The question is, did you have to pay for that help?

A (51:22)

No.

C (51:22)

See, neither did I. I took my chick's computer in and they didn't charge me. So as mad as you were at her, that was free?

A (51:30)

No, no, it was free for her to disconnect the battery and almost break my computer because she told me.

C (51:34)

Oh look.

A (51:34)

Yeah, it's not even getting any signal. I'm like, you didn't even give it long enough. You gave it 30 seconds. I guess. But I was so vulnerable at that moment that I was about to spend fifteen hundred dollars on a computer.

C (51:46)

I'm glad it turned out this way. But I almost dealt with the same thing because my guy, when I took it there to get it faster, said if I. If I do this right here, it'll clear everything off. Are we good to do that? I go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We had our wedding photos on there. We had every business we've ever created in the past 10 years and in one click he was about to wipe it all out.

A (52:08)

See, it's okay if I just delete it? No. Why would it be okay to delete it?

C (52:12)

I had pictures on there.

A (52:16)

So. Yeah, videos. I just want to say thanks to that stupid lady at the Apple store. I mean, good God, thanks for taking your job seriously and just trying to con me into buying a new computer. Here, I can hand you over to Samantha. She can get you a new computer. I mean. I mean, I knew, I thought I was. I mean, it was crazy that my computer just happened to die on the day that I went to the Apple store that only had 30 minutes left in his life. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

When you say Lego Star wars, the first thing you think of is imagination or action.

A (53:48)

Or both.

D (53:49)

A (54:49)

Oh man, that was tough.

C (54:51)

I'm glad it's okay because I couldn't tell from the back here. I was teased as well if you got a new computer or not.

A (54:56)

Yeah, I agree. That's why I was it was a good storyteller. And then I had the shock of a lifetime raid.

C (55:02)

Twists and turns. That's how a real pro does it.

A (55:04)

No, I had a shock of a lifetime on Wednesday night.

C (55:07)

I mean nothing's more shocking than going in the bathroom and a bees is in there.

A (55:10)

No Callaway posted on the Facebook page and he said, oh my God. Hunter Dickinson just scored two points against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies season is over. How the hell did Hunter Dickinson make an NBA roster? He is the worst basketball player I've ever seen in the history of basketball and he made it on an NBA roster. The dude was so God awful at Kansas. He sucked so freaking bad and he made an NBA roster. What is wrong with the NBA. The shock of a lifetime.

C (55:48)

And I was trying to think does his. Is it his body translates to the NBA?

A (55:52)

No, because he's slow as molasses. Ray, you are quicker than him.

C (55:56)

But I remember watching him and he would fumble a lot.

A (55:59)

Fumble, bumble. He's unathletic, he's uncoordinated. He's a bum. And he's on an NBA roster is absolutely mind blowing. Shock of a lifetime.

C (56:11)

Yeah. Sometimes you don't know the players that are going to do amazing in the NBA. Cooper Flag, not doing well. Edgecomb, huge rookie year.

A (56:19)

Edge Comb. Dude, he had like the mo. Third most points in the history of the NBA and a rookie debut.

C (56:25)

I mean, did you watch him for Baylor in March Madness?

A (56:28)

Wasn't that good.

C (56:29)

He was efficient by all the number running that I do. But he didn't score a lot of points.

A (56:33)

Dude. It was unreal. Unbelievable. Flag. Oh my God. He couldn't fumble the ball. Fumble the ball.

C (56:39)

Fumble the ball. Fumble the ball.

A (56:41)

I mean, but it's intimidating when you're going up against reigning rookie of the year and Castle and you got wimbanyama on the other side and you're just like, who and mom and dad are sitting courtside? I mean, wow. Let's talk about white privilege. Sitting courtside on your son's first game. Most people just sit in the stands. Never seen him courtside like that.

C (56:59)

The association is a fun sport though. I will agree with you on that. Yeah, I would put it behind. I'm gonna have to go college football, then NFL, then mlb, mls, then golf, then the association.

A (57:18)

Whoa.

C (57:18)

Actually association above golf. Now that they all went to live and I don't bet it. I ain't watch golf since the Ryder Cup. Since you were there, Ray. Since I was on TV. 200,000 views on our Instagram.

A (57:31)

Yeah, I haven't really watched golf since then either. Man. I was kind of, you know, I was golfed out for a little bit because I had saw so much of it right up in person. Like I was just like, you know, I'm kind of tired.

C (57:41)

I will tell you the one thing I miss about golf. Tell me after this big gambling bus. Not the gambling. Even though it is maybe wanting. The thing that I miss most is if you're not feeling well, who is that warm blanket on a weekend after you're done with work, when you're sick and you need to get better Golf. A golf tournament lasts from Friday to Saturday to Sunday and it sees you off into the work week all better and good to Go. I love golf when you're not feeling well.

A (58:11)

Also because in golf you don't have to worry about them being loud and excited. It's very soft and soothing. And so when your head is hurting and you have a pounding headache, you know. Oh my God. Jim. No, it's Jim. What a putt, man. That was amazing.

C (58:27)

Keith Mitchell here at the Genesis. What a beautiful shot from Keith. We'll be back after this. This is the Genesis Invitational here in LA on the Golf Channel. I remember that one distinctly. I first moved into my house sicker than a dog. We had the niece and nephew and I watched the Genesis Invitational from wall to wall coverage Thursday to Sunday and it got me better. And I will always love that golf tournament because of that.

A (58:53)

I'm glad. I'm glad that could mend you. And I mean this weekend. I mean, college football is right down the road. I mean, Herb street and the boys. Desmond Howard, Chris Fowler. What hotel do they stay at? Or they just fl.

C (59:04)

Aaron Andrews one's floating around there somewhere.

A (59:07)

She's there.

C (59:08)

No, it's the one where that peephole guy got her.

A (59:11)

Was it Nashville?

C (59:12)

Yeah.

A (59:13)

What?

C (59:13)

It was right next to the stadium. I believe it was at Marriott Stop. Yes.

A (59:18)

Aaron Andrews Scandal was in Nashville.

C (59:21)

Yes.

A (59:23)

What? That's crazy. Yes. I had no freaking idea.

C (59:29)

Right? I've never seen the video.

A (59:31)

I haven't either.

C (59:33)

I didn't say I hadn't.

A (59:35)

Oh, I haven't. I never knew that. That's wild.

C (59:39)

Yeah.

A (59:40)

And then I mean. And here's the thing. The NFL this weekend, there are six teams on by, dude. So it's a rough schedule this weekend, but I'm going to. I'm going to give you some money makers. Are you ready for money makers? Ray?

C (59:52)

Are we still going to do this in light of the recent events?

A (59:56)

Yeah, look. College football. I don't know who I mean. Ole Miss at Oklahoma. What a game. Good game, Ray. The only thing that's going to stop.

C (60:04)

This segment is a massive betting scandal that sweeps all of sports.

A (60:10)

Yeah, maybe we shouldn't do it. Kansas. Kansas State. What a rivalry. Here we go, boys. Rock chalk. We got to win that game. Texas, Mississippi State. Auburn. Auburn's an underdog in Arkansas. What? Well armor. Auburn can't score. They. They are snake bit. And then, I mean, who else do we got this week? Vandy? Missouri. What a game.

C (60:31)

Well, I don't know if you know Taylor Green. If their team didn't see suck so bad, he would be the runaway Heisman. Right?

A (60:37)

Who's it their Quarterback for who?

C (60:39)

Arkansas.

A (60:40)

Oh. Oh, yeah, he's good.

C (60:42)

He's in my. The way I tally these quarterbacks, he's my highest rated of any of them. But he can't win it just because the team's lost like six games already and they've only had five.

A (60:54)

I mean, besides that, I don't know. I mean Texas A and M, lsu. I mean, LSU kind of sucks.

C (60:59)

What is the line for Vandy and Mizzou?

A (61:01)

Two and a half.

C (61:02)

Vandy, I think just because of that running back, Hardy, he's a Heisman Pribula. He's actually had some of the most efficient and QBR rated highly games this season that nobody knows about. I believe Missouri beats him by three scores. I think it ends up being a blowout. Pavila, they say he's a runner. I've looked at his numbers in the way I calculate it, I got him at about an eight, whereas Trinidad, you get about. I give runners five points a game. Pavia is at about an eight. Trinidad Chambliss is at 13 and he's played two less games. So that's how far behind Pavia is. And I told Kevin this, he can't win the Heisman because he's so far behind. And as a thrower he's in the low 30s. Who else is in the 30s? Trinidad Chambliss. And he's played two less games. So I just, I really think that Missouri waxes that butt and I don't even think it's close. I've seen Vandy in person. It's going to be tough for them.

A (62:00)

I see it all the time. We drive by Vandy, we see the campus, I see Vandy, but I don't see their football team ever out there practicing.

C (62:06)

Well, me and south beach, when we were at that bar and grill, south beach, it was the last leg of his parlay and Vandy scored in the first half. And that parlay slip is still sitting at that bar and grill because it didn't cash. And Vandy never scored again from 1pm till about 3pm yeah, and I got.

A (62:25)

A text just now from cousin Andrew. Ray. Absolutely said game day was in Knoxville on Monday. Spot. Thank you. I thought I was freaking crazy.

C (62:35)

Well, guess what? Easily confused. They both have a ville in the name.

A (62:38)

That's true. Leave me alone. Maybe we just misunderstood. Look guys, I'm going to give you some money makers this weekend.

C (62:45)

Listen, the Buffalo Bill and Smashville, they all have ville in them.

A (62:50)

You're right.

C (62:52)

Amity, Amityville, Tunicaville, Memphisville.

A (62:56)

What elseville? Oh, there's a Huntsville.

C (62:59)

Farmville.

A (63:00)

Oh, Farmville.

C (63:02)

Gainesville.

A (63:03)

Oh, another one. Louisville.

C (63:07)

Hopkinsville.

A (63:09)

Is that a real place?

C (63:09)

Yeah.

A (63:10)

Okay, Indiana.

C (63:13)

In and around there, there's got to be a ville.

A (63:16)

In Michigan, there's got to be a ville. Let's think of another ville.

C (63:20)

There's a ton right around here. You said Huntsville already?

A (63:23)

Yeah.

C (63:25)

Clarksville.

A (63:26)

Clarksville. Good. What about in Texas? Are there any Bills? I got Lubbock, McMinnville. Oh, McMinnville. Heard of that? You know what's stupid is Texas Tech is now going to get in trouble for throwing tortillas on the freaking field. They've been doing that for like a hundred years. Guys, can we stop not making college football fun? Let them throw the damn tortillas. Who cares? Who cares? The tortillas is great. So stupid. So absolutely stupid. Let's take all the fun out of going to a college football game. Can't throw tortillas. I mean, geez Louise, Pennyville.

C (64:03)

One of my favorite places to visit, right?

A (64:06)

I like Paneyville, man. But let me tell you, it's easy this weekend. A lot of favorites. A lot of big favorites. They're going to roll that.

C (64:15)

But remember, you go to the games, you root win or lose, you don't tell a player to take a fall because that's illegal.

A (64:26)

Correct. If you're going to a poker game, check under the table to see if there's an X ray machine. And if Chauncey Billups is there, run away, do not play.

C (64:35)

And if a guy calls you when he has 1, 7, 4 and joker card means he can see your cards and he knows you ain't got a good hand because the cards. I just said don't. Don't give you anything.

A (64:49)

Correct. Look, guys, the Buffalo Bills, they've been here for two weeks. How they suck. They're coming off a buy. They're going to be playing in Carolina. And when teams come off a buy and they're on the road, oh my God, do they win? This is a money maker. The Bills right now, seven, seven and a half, whichever one you want. Take the Buffalo Bills minus seven and a half, take it to the bank. Oh, and then the Ravens, they suck, man. They suck. They suck. And this hurts my heart. This really does hurt my heart. Their defense is terrible. They're not going to win any games. They're playing the Bears. The Ravens are coming off a buy. Lamar should be back. This is only bettable if Lamar is playing on Sunday. If they do, if he does not play this does not count. This is not a moneymaker. Take the Ravens minus six and a half. Take it to the bank. The Atlanta. Atlanta Falcons at home against the Miami Dolphins. You know what the Miami Dolphins do? They suck. B. John Robinson will have 295 yards because the Dolphins can't tackle. Give me the Falcons minus seven and a half. Moneymaker. Take it to the bank. The Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Flacco, Flacco Flame are playing the Jets. Who's playing quarterback? Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor? Doesn't damn matter because Garrett Wilson ain't gonna play. Sauce got Gardner, he's got a concussion. Who's gonna guard Jamar? Chase T. Higgins. Bengals minus six and a half. Take it to the bank. And then Monday night. Oh my God, you have no Jaden Daniels. Don't know if Debo's going to be back. Don't know if Scary Terry is going to be back. The Chiefs at home, they are murderers row minus 12 and a half. Take it to the bank. I just gave you. And I took so many favorites because all the dogs this week are nasty. They are ugly. Ugly.

C (66:51)

One of our listeners wrote in. It's Terry. Terry in. In. Terry in Miami. Terry R In Miami says bet the under on my points.

A (67:10)

Oh, all right.

C (67:12)

Thank you, Terry R. Whoever that is in Miami. Under on his points.

A (67:17)

Yeah, did he say who they were playing?

C (67:22)

Friggin Terry Rozier, idiot.

A (67:24)

I know he was a joke. I thought you're gonna say look at the heat gain tonight and bet, bet. Terry, you're an idiot. All right guys, no pod Monday I'll be in San Antonio and yeah, that's all I got. Yes, I was trying to be funny like hey man, I got a really good inside tip, man. There's this guy on the heat and if you bet him under, I think you're going to win on Monday night or whatever night. Oh man, let's go home. What a weekend. What a weekend. Hey, you want to know who's winning right now? Grayson Sig is winning your tournament right now. They are playing the bank of Utah championship.

C (68:14)

I got to get retired or something. Something's got to lead to me watching golf again without putting money on it.

A (68:21)

Yeah, well, I don't even know what the bank of Utah is, but I'm going to open an account just because this tournament.
