Bet Big Talk Loud with Chris Hodge & JR with Playboy Playmate Alison Jordan

SPEAKER_00

All right, welcome back to the Bet Big Talk Loud Podcast. It is Friday, August 7th. I'm Chris Hodge. Got JR with me. Football started last night, the preseason game. We'll talk about that in just a moment. Live in studio. They're definitely going to be happier to see her more than they are to see you and I. We have former Playboy Playmate, Allison Jordan. She comes in once or twice a year in studio. We love having her. She's awesome. She'll be on in about 25 minutes, so make sure you keep it right here. Or just fast forward it to Allison Jordan. If you want to see her, you don't want to look at us.

SPEAKER_01

I won't be offended.

SPEAKER_00

Um Hall of Fame game last night, man. I thought it was a highly entertaining game.

SPEAKER_01

For a preseason game, you really can't get much more.

SPEAKER_00

Highly entertaining game.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, honestly, it goes right down to the final minute. It's final play. Final play. It was just all around.

SPEAKER_00

It was uh, you know, the first quarter was scoreless. There was no point scored in the first quarter, and then the eruption. 33-30, final score. Total set at 34 and a half. Um, yeah, it was just an eruption of points. But you know something? There were two rookie quarterbacks in that game. You know, uh Carson Beck, Haynes King. Carson Beck from Georgia, Miami. Haynes King uh made his bones at Georgia Tech, he's the reigning ACC player of the year. They played really well last night, both of those guys. I did not expect it. Well, there's now, again, it's one game, and I hate when people do what I'm about to do, right? But there is something to be said, I believe. When you stayed in college, as long as those two kids stayed in college, and now you come out into the NFL, uh NFL is the highest league in the land, right? But it just seemed like they were more comfortable. Again, they didn't miss a step.

SPEAKER_01

It was almost like they were in their second season. They both played very well. They didn't look like brand new rookies coming off, you know, getting out. Look, the one thing you hear from all rookies is the speed of the game. Yep. Windows. Windows closed faster. They much faster. Gaps are closed. It's just it's a faster-paced game. When you watch college, you can watch it happening, right? Breaking down. Whereas in the NFL, it's like bang, bang, bang. They're on top. They're just the best of the best. That's why I don't know what percentage it is, but what, less than three percent of college players? Yeah, it's not even that. I'm just saying, even get a shot at the NFL. Less than 1% are there after two years.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, it's like there's not even, let's not even go to you know, FCS or Division II or Division III. Let's just do Division I sure. There's 140 some odd teams, there's 85 scholarship players per team. Yep. Okay. 245 or so get drafted. I mean, so just go off of that, right?

SPEAKER_01

It's like nothing. And then I mean, next to no one ever walks on. I mean, it's it's tough.

SPEAKER_00

Tough league to play in, man. But you know something? You know, Carson Beck, he's intriguing because he's played some big-time football games. He has. You know, I expect him to be good. You know, that SEC.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't expect what I saw last night. He played a great game last night. I really expect him to be good. Now, their starter is gonna be Jacoby Brissett. Right?

SPEAKER_00

I I'm interested.

SPEAKER_01

I'm interested. There was a snort. I can't believe this guy still starts. But go ahead.

SPEAKER_00

I'm interested to see, you know, what happens here because Arizona and and Arizona's fan base is not really the biggest fan base in the NFL, so I can get away with saying this. Um, Arizona's not gonna be a good football team this year. They're gonna be one of the worst football teams.

SPEAKER_01

They weren't a good football team last year.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, they're if you got a guy on the bench like Carson Beck, why not? Why not?

SPEAKER_01

That's what I I don't think you should start him out the gate, right? I mean, like I think that the the Raiders are gonna make that mistake, right? They're gonna probably put him out. I don't think they're gonna start Mendoza.

SPEAKER_00

You don't I feel like the story came out Tom Brady is urging them to not start Mendoza. They shouldn't. Right. So you got Kirk Cousins there. Let him play.

SPEAKER_01

Let's go. Let him play. You got Kirk Cousins. It's not like Jacoby Brissett, right? I mean, Kirk Cousins, I think, is a whole different animal and can win you football games.

SPEAKER_00

Let me say this to you, right? Where do you, because you are an NFL guru. That's your thing, right? If you look at some of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Oh, let's not even let's just go recently. Let's go within the last 20 years. Okay, but Tom Brady did not start his first year. No, he did not. Pat Mahomes did not start his first year. Let's face it, Tom Brady probably doesn't even get the opportunity without Bledsoe going down. Right. Without Mo Lewis. Yeah. Um Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre. Multiple years. He's off first ballot. Y'all, Eli Manning sat behind Kurt Warner for 10 or so games. There are a lot of great all-time quarterbacks that sat a year or even two.

SPEAKER_01

Even the guys that did start didn't do well. Peyton Manning's first season was insanely bad. And if his name wasn't Peyton Manning, I don't think he gets another run. Terrible year. Terrible. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

SPEAKER_00

I think he actually, I could be wrong, so if you don't kill me in the comments, I still believe he has the rookie record for most interceptions. I mean, he threw a ton of them. But there is something to be said. And then you know, you know, you can look at quarterbacks like the Jets, a classic for this. They just draft a quarterback, throw him right into the fire, and he always fails. Good old Sam Darnold. And look how long it took Sam Darnold to kind of he started figuring it out when he was in Minnesota. Sure. Okay. And then all of a sudden it just took off, and now he's a Super Bowl winning quarterback.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, listen, NFL, yes, it's it, you got to be a great athlete, but it's here too. And for quarterbacks, so much of it that goes on up here. If you get just the, you know, uh something's not going your way, and you you just start falling into that hole, and the Jets are the fucking abyss of the NFL. It's a never-ending black hole. It's hard to get out of. All right. And he got pulled out of it. He had the right coach in Minnesota that turned him around, and then a great match when he went to Seattle.

SPEAKER_00

All right, so let's throw some uh let's throw, let me throw you a question. Sure. Okay. Um, do we agree that the hardest position to play in the NFL is quarterback? Come on, it's not even up for debate. What do you think the second hardest position to play is? I'm gonna say running back. Okay, I'm glad you said running back. I think the second hardest position to play is cornerback because you have to cover elite athletes, and you gotta do it by going backwards. And and you don't know, they know where they're going, you don't know where they're going. Cornerback, those athletes are insanely good. Insanely good, but running backs get abused. Okay, so I am so running back is third for me. Okay, running back is third. Um I almost said corner, actually, on my side. So you're probably you're probably quarterback, running back, cornerback. Yes. I'm quarterback, cornerback, running back. So same deal. I am so happy to see running backs getting paid. Again, finally. These poor running backs got fucked. For like, what, 15 years? Because think of everything that are asked of running backs. You have to obviously tote the ball 20 to 25 times a game and all the bullshit that that entails.

SPEAKER_01

And that's only today, only 20 to 25. Back in the day, they were carrying 30, 40 times a game.

SPEAKER_00

Insane, right? So 20 to 25 times carries a game, right? You have to be active in the passing game. Yes. You have to be able to catch, okay? You have to be ultra active in blitz pickup. You have to do that. You have to be ultra in ultra active in pass protection. Right.

SPEAKER_01

If you can't block, then you can't be out there. They're gonna know you're running the ball when you're out there if you can't block. Running backs have to do basically everything. Everything.

SPEAKER_00

And they have to be highly skilled at the game.

SPEAKER_01

God forbid they fumble.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god. Oh, you know, and listen, they're the one besides a quarterback who touches the ball in every play of the game, running backs touch the ball the most amount. That's how important that position is. And to see what they went through where these general managers, again, analytical scumbags, these these brainiacs that overthink the all of a sudden made running back like a not premier position, and we're not gonna pay you.

SPEAKER_01

What? I you know how many questions it's amazing. Because when when someone finds out what you do for a living, right? I mean, I don't know about you, but when I tell somebody what I do for a living, the we get asked all kinds of crazy questions. The one that I've been hit with the most lately is how do you bring analytics into what you do? Yeah, right? And it's and one of the things that I I say, and I'll say it right here on camera sometimes you can get too much information. Absolutely, right? It can it can really hurt the process. We have been so successful doing what we do without all of those analytics. Now, it has helped us because we've been able to kind of pick what we want to use. Sure. But there's so much in analytics where they dive too deep. I mean, I don't need to know what happened 15 years ago when this is what's happening today. It's meaningless. It's meaningless.

SPEAKER_00

Meaningless. And we spoke about this last week. I do believe analytics is ruining sports. You know, I mean, listen, I don't know how long you want to go back, go back 20 years. If a coach went for it on fourth and one from his own 30s, probably fired. He doesn't even make it to the locker room. No. And they don't get it, and they lose the game because of that. You you look at the guy from Detroit. Now, I I don't know if I'm gonna hit a nerve with this. When when they lost to San Francisco in a conference championship game, okay, that head coach, Dan Campbell, should have been fired. He lost them that game. Sure did. And then the argument was, which drove me crazy. Well, he did this all season long. They might not have been here. Okay, whatever. But in this situation, thank you.

SPEAKER_01

You don't do it. Thank you. I thought I was the only one that thought that. People are like, oh, but that's how they got. I don't care for it. You you game plan for today's game, not for this is what I did all year, so I'm gonna do it now. No, you're up 34.

SPEAKER_00

You're in a in a must-win situation. And they were up in that game, they were up 17 or 21 points. Yeah, it was around that. And he, instead of like punting or kicking a field goal, he went for it, doesn't get it. He's giving them opportunity. He's just you know, so hey guys, you want to stay in the game? Yeah, but but to go back to the running backs, uh, Jameer Gibbs just becomes the highest paid as the these these contracts. But these contracts are happening fast. It's like one running back gets a contract, the next running back one-ups them. Sure. So as of let's see here, 3.17 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, Jameer Gibbs has the highest guaranteed in NFL history for running backs. Uh B. John Robinson, he owned that title yesterday. And then Jonathan Taylor, I think he owned that title a couple days ago.

SPEAKER_01

It's unbelievable.

SPEAKER_00

Um, and then you had Jeremiah Love, who got the most money any running back has ever gotten without even having a carry. He hasn't even taken a sneak. I mean, what a but I am happy to see running backs getting paid. I think you guys deserve it. I think it was a disservice what was done to you. I think your position being belittled the way it was. And you know, you know hats off to who started this? Saquon Barkley. Because Saquon Barkley knew what he was worth, and he was not going to settle, and he said it. I'm not gonna settle so other running backs get fucked. I'm gonna get my worst. He reignited. He and and and well done, Saquon, because you deserved it. Deserved every dollar. And you know something? When you're a New York sports fan and a guy leaves you to go to Philadelphia. Philadelphia, anything. Okay, shredded. Usually. Yes. The Giant fans respect Saquon Barkley.

SPEAKER_01

I gotta tell you, I know a lot of Giant fans. Not one of them said no, F Barkley. Not and and you know they cheered for him. Absolutely. And served it for the bigger because they thought the Giants should have paid him. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

And they were and he went to Philadelphia. That is right off a Hall of Fame type. You're getting booed instantly. And that man was cheered as he should have been.

SPEAKER_01

And not only went there, but the highest level that you could do it at. I mean not only wins it, he carried them there. 100%.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, and he he it was well deserved. So uh I'm glad to see running backs getting paid. You know what else I was glad to see? Oh, this this warmed my heart, man. This warmed my fucking heart to it. Your quarterback. Your guy. Oh, I know where we're going. I'm like, where are we going? Obliterates you. Right after we do it. Calls them cowards, claims the fifth or pleads the fifth on a question. I believe this. If you put if you put the truth serum in these athletes' arms, and they had to answer truthfully to a man, 90% of them hate ESPN. Hate it. Hate it.

SPEAKER_01

How about the guys that work there? I think hate it. I mean, I really, I mean, they probably get told what they're allowed to and not allowed to say.

SPEAKER_00

It's insane. The peddling from the media, you know, and look, I like Stephen A. Smith. I'm a fan of the. I like Stephen A. also. I'm a fan of Stephen A. Smith. My brother hates, I love watching Stephen A. I think he's animated. He's he's he's and he's but he's in the media. And the media scumbags, what they did six years ago with the whole COVID thing and the vax versus non-vaxx, and these media who who are who are, you know, sports media somehow get involved, and they all get on Kyrie Irving because Kyrie Irving is a and he's an educated dude. He's an intellectual guy. He sure is. He's like, no, I'm not getting a vaccine just because they told me to get it. I'm gonna free think. And it and they and they obliterate Kyrie Irving. And now, six years later, Stephen A. Smith goes and apologizes. Go fuck yourself with your apology. Right? I don't I don't buy it. I don't I would not accept the apology. I would I wouldn't accept it. I wouldn't have to be able to get it.

SPEAKER_01

No one else is apologizing. I was actually, I thought that was stand up to admit you were wrong. Like most people don't admit they were wrong. They just carry the torch all the way to the end of the earth, saying that, you know, at the time you should. No, he got up there and he manned up and apologized. Okay, so I thought that was a that I I found it to be good.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Part of the reason why I like the guy. Okay, agreed. He taking responsibility for his actions. I'm just saying, I would have said, get the fuck out of here with your apology. You could do that. Yeah. But I I like that he took accountability. 100%. I I am constantly yelling at my kids about accountability. 100%. Right? Like, admit what you did.

SPEAKER_00

But you know, you had all of this now, we we spoke about it last week. You had the guy that couldn't get off TV, wanted to be on every network known to man. Writing books. Right, writing books, wearing masks, do this shit. So all of a sudden now you can't speak. That's a problem to me. I'm gonna keep talking, I'm gonna keep talking about that one. You know what, though?

SPEAKER_01

It's great advice by his counsel. Oh, yes, phenomenal advice. Yes. You never talk to the cops, you never talk to the cops. Not just that, he already got pardoned. Right? But so if he opens his mouth, that opens up a whole nother case. He can't go on and say, I murdered on purpose hundreds of thousands of people. I told you to mask when I knew you didn't have to mask. He's not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, man. You know, he's gonna get a visceral have the diary, which is hilarious. We spoke about it last week.

SPEAKER_01

Oh man. How about he put the diary on a government website? It wasn't a handwritten, this is an electronic diary. Moron.

SPEAKER_00

Let me tell you something. I if I was doing something illegal, right? Or something I didn't believe in that I then had to go bullshit the public, I'm not writing it in a diary anywhere.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Not on paper, not on a computer. There's not a footprint. No. No one knows about it. We're married over I'm married almost 30, you two. Sure, right? Yep. So my wife even says to me now, she's like, how come when you write text, it's like you're writing it to a lawyer? I mean, even to the I don't do anything incriminating. Like when my wife says something nasty to me, I'm not gonna hop on to be. Shut up, you dumb bitch. That's not getting written in text ever. I'm never calling her that either, but I'm just saying, there's no record. You gotta be a moron. Write down all these things. Like, like you knew what you were doing.

SPEAKER_00

I am so afraid of texting my wife, especially when it's nice. I saw you go like, no, so especially when it's something nice. So I this is this is years of experience, right? When I text my wife, I love you, or I think you're beautiful, and I do send those texts. I put her name on it. Because I don't want my wife thinking I meant to send that to another woman. Because women are crazy, right? I didn't even think of that. Right. I I Oh my god, you just keep doing a whole new thing. I put my wife's name at the end of it. Because uh, you don't want, oh hey, um, I I can't wait to bang you tonight. Right? Who the fuck was that text meant for, Chris? Nah. I can't wait to bang you tonight. D.

SPEAKER_01

I put her name on it, years of experience. Learn from me. I'm gonna have to learn from that now. I I don't do that. I just make sure that it's all very kosher, just everyone.

SPEAKER_00

Let's go, let's go to you can't make it up. The you can't make it up segment. Um, you cannot make this shit up. All right, so we spoke about the WNBA last week, and it's not a league that I I particularly watch, okay? But those women, uh, and I'm gonna talk about this with Allison Jordan when she's on in about 10 minutes, okay? Those women work their asses off, and they should be respected for the hard work they put in. Yes. But my God, you have a WNBA coach who supports trans athletes coming in and playing, playing, right? The same coach by the name of Cheryl Reeve, who might be the most full of shit person you will ever see in your life. Cheryl Reeve, Cheryl Girl, you are a full of shit person. She's okay. If a trans guy came in and took jobs from her female athletes, that's okay. She is against hiring male coaches. Why? Because they take the jobs of the female coaches. Are you joking me? No.

SPEAKER_01

See, we he doesn't give me any any any read sheet before we get in here. I don't know what we're talking about. So Yeah, I want the genuine reaction. I I mean, are you joking me? I didn't even know that. I had no idea that happened. It is appalling. I did hear something on the way in, though, that there's a uh trans, whatever you want, whatever. There's a transgender man turned female who's playing in a French league. Okay. Okay? Dominator. Of course. Dominator. He wants to come to the WNBA. Okay. Should it be allowed? Should it be allowed? It should not be allowed. I say no way. Absolutely not. That he'll be Michael Jordan times five in that league. Absolutely not. If you're gonna sit there and and and talk all this talk, let him in. I I just then you could get retired NBA guys that say they now identify as women and they can go play in the WNBA and make more money.

SPEAKER_00

Sophie Cunningham, and again, I'm gonna keep speaking about this this lady because I I love what she's saying, and I'm glad she has the courage to stand up and say it. Okay she just went after the media the other day. Rightfully so. I've been going after the media for years. I hate the media. What do I always say? The three biggest criminal organizations ever created Mafia, the NCAA, the media. Say it all the time. I gotta put government in there.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean Yeah, you're right. Federal government's gotta be in there. The government's gotta be top. That's like number one. Yeah, like it's like one A, one B, and one C. Like if they can't, if they can't get you on some kind of technicality, all of a sudden you just disappear. Right?

SPEAKER_00

You commit suicide by shooting yourself in the head five times. Backwards. Um, Sophia Cunningham went and she said, You guys cover everything but the WMVA, the basketball. You cover all these social nonsensical things rather than the great basketball that we are trying to play.

SPEAKER_01

You know, the game has gotten better. The game has gotten better. It is definitely, and I don't understand why they're almost self imploding themselves. It's like they got the wind at the sails.

SPEAKER_00

Did you just set me up? You just set me up, man. Why? Women.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, here comes the hatred.

SPEAKER_01

Can you ever be happy? Can I put a disclaimer on that I don't agree with everything that he said?

SPEAKER_00

The women not being happy. Oh my god. You don't say, Jesus Christ, there's a shop. Women ain't happy, man.

SPEAKER_01

So they just got paid. Everything is going well. Their sport's blowing up in a good way. They've got some serious talent that just came into the league over the last four or five years.

SPEAKER_00

Did you see what Clay Travis did the other day? Oh, this is brilliant. You gotta you gotta get more. You are like a hibernating bear over.

SPEAKER_01

You know it. Listen, when we're in football season, I do nothing other than eat, breathe, sleep, drink everything football, right? Same thing with hockey. Hockey season, I am in every bit of it that I could possibly take in. I'm listening to podcasts in the vehicle. I am watching every bit of news. I am diving deep on the internet. I go into all the numbers. Summer comes. Listen, when it's time to be with family, I mean, if you you can't see my tan, but I've been on the beach for days. I I I I love the time off. It's like a battery, bro. You got you gotta you gotta charge the battery. I know you don't take no time off. I I know you don't. There's no days off.

SPEAKER_00

We work our asses off. But I'm I'm you you know what? Let me be fair about that.

SPEAKER_01

You're not the owner. But even when I was, I always, even in football season, Tuesday is the day of nothingness. You and I used to argue with my ex-partner about this all the time. He's like, You got to work every day, seven days a week. No. Now I feel I'm extremely good at what I do. I'm at the at the very top, and that's because I think part of it is having that day. I know a lot of people are not gonna agree with that, but but I am very good at what I do, and I take no days. Yeah, but you know, but you're also not doing some of the things that I do. You have a different job. Some of the things that I do correct, but your stuff kind of gets done fast and early. That's because I'm good.

SPEAKER_00

Anyway, let me get to Clay Travis, right? This is an all-timer.

SPEAKER_01

I like Clay Travis. Oh, great, great.

SPEAKER_00

He's the one who called them out and said that I'll put up the million dollars. So you do know. So it was 10 million. So first thing he says is actually, I don't know if I have these chronologically correct. So I'm going to go with I think. That happened a while ago. No, this just happened recently. He said that he's going to buy a WNBA franchise, put it in Nashville, make it all transgender. All right. So you you coaches want to wear t-shirts that, you know, hey, whatever. I'll get an all-transgender team. We'll go undefeated. I'll have all transgender gender coaches, transgender athletes, and I'll name it the Nashville Bulls. Oh my God.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's brilliant. I listened to another guy on uh Holt, he doesn't do sports, but he he brought this up. He said they Detroit is gonna get a team, I guess, in the WNBA. It's part of the expansion. They'd possibly he said, you already have the pistons there. Why not call them the trannies? Like, but the transmissions. He's like, Oh, for pistons and transmissions. He goes, When when when when you when your tranny goes, what do you say? I blew my transmission. I blew my tranny. I'm listening to it. I'm like, Jesus Christ, I can't believe you're saying this. You're gonna get yourself fired.

SPEAKER_00

Right. So yeah, but you know, you and I don't care about cancel culture any of it. I really don't. But this guy he's been around 20 years and he doesn't do sports, so and I have no boss, and I really don't care what the media tells me to say or not to say, right? That's how I am. We really don't know. No, I don't care. Um, so here I am with this, right? You know, if there was uh I said it last week, women brought it upon themselves from always for always saying they can compete with men when they cannot. All right. I said that last week. But women should have their own sport that we celebrate and recognize and we respect their talent. Men should not be in that sport. Allison Jordan and I are gonna have a conversation about this later because she we spoke about it and she's like, boy, that I really started thinking about that, and she wants to talk about it on a podcast. So I say that to say this. Now, Clay Travis also put up $10 million. 10 million. He said the Las Vegas Aces, the champions of the WNBA, go go play a high school boy state championship team of my choosing. And if you beat them, I'll give you $10 million to split up between yourself. They won't take that. They will not take it because they lose by a hundred. Yes. They will lose by a hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_01

They'll get creamed by by by high schoolers. A hundred. And we're talking about the champions. You can't make that line big enough. Didn't didn't the, if I'm not mistaken, didn't the girls' soccer team who went on?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I said that last week.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they lost six to two to a high school team or five to two. But here's here's we're gonna tie it back to sports and sports gambling. Bet big, talk loud. Here's how you know everyone is full of shit. If that game was to be played and all of these people for, oh, they could compete, this, that, and the other, what would the point spread on that game be?

SPEAKER_01

Based on bullshit and that they're gonna try to make it look like it'll be close.

SPEAKER_00

Give me a point spread on that game.

SPEAKER_01

Do you want my real point spread? No, I just give me one. What I think the books are gonna put out.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so let's do this. High school boys play eight-minute quarters, a 32-minute game. Sure. Okay. Uh the WNBA plays 10-minute quarters, 40-minute game. So let's do a nine-minute quarter. Let's split the two. Okay. Uh, women use a smaller ball, okay? Men use a bigger ball. So what ball are they gonna use? If they use the smaller ball, good night. Because now they're just gonna palm it. Like the boys. So I would use the bigger ball. Okay, and obviously they still play the the court is the exact same dimension, except the three-point line. I think in high school and in the WMB, it might be around the same. It's similar, right? So what's the point spread in your mind?

SPEAKER_01

My point spread over the boys. Okay. I say that the boys gotta be minus 14, 14 and a half, 15 and a half.

SPEAKER_00

Minus 14 and a half? Okay. If that ever comes to fruit. You're gonna make it 30? If that comes to fruition, and that game is played, and that line is 14 and a half, we put every customer for every dollar they can afford on the high school. We're talking high school boys.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, we're not talking any, we're not talking a college team.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, we're talking a high school. No, you're talking a state championship high school team. Okay. That is the safest, greatest betslash investment in the history of the world.

SPEAKER_01

You think they're gonna beat them by 40?

SPEAKER_00

I think they're gonna beat them by 80. I don't think they get a shot up. So, so I now this might be a little unfair. This might be a little unfair. Let's go to Sierra Canyon, who is the um, they're like the best high school boys basketball team.

SPEAKER_01

How about if you take an all-star team of the WNBA? No, it's still a like the best of the best in the WNBA.

SPEAKER_00

Let's just go with this. And and this is this is my argument for the women, right? This is my argument for why this shouldn't be happening. Las Vegas Aces, their tallest player, they have a couple of them, are six four. That's their tallest player that that starts, six four. Okay. That's a very tall woman. Okay, great. The smallest starter on Sierra Canyon is 6'5. That's the smallest guy. So the smallest guy is an inch taller than the biggest girl for the Aces. There is no competition. I agree. So they get outscored.

SPEAKER_01

I only kept it low because they're only nine minutes ago.

SPEAKER_00

They get outscored two. They get outscreen two points a minute in that game. Just from running and gunning and turnovers and never be able to grab an offensive rebound. I think the line should be 71 and a half. And I'm telling you, I'd still bet it. That's the line. I'm taking the girls.

SPEAKER_01

71 and a half. 71 and a half. I'm taking the girls and the under.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, Clay, I think the point spread is now you want to lay out 10 million, I'll lay out as much as I can to gamble. I would go up to 71 and a half.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not going over 24 and a half. Are you kidding me? No. Nah, it's a blowout. It's a blowout. We're not talking about pedestrian women off the street. Okay, below. They can shoot the like I said, I'd rather see an all-star team of the WNBA play them. I think it would be a better competition. Not a complete, it's a blowout, but not by 80.

SPEAKER_00

There was a um, there isn't a video, and again, some of these videos are unfair. There was a video of Sabrina Ionescu um dribbling, and she was getting shut down by a high school boy that was just an average high school boy. These athletes, there's no way. They dunk the ball whenever they want. Even Sierra County, their high school athletes will dunk the ball whenever they want to dunk it. Caitlin Cawk and nail shots, man. She will she will never get a shot up. She will never get a shot up. It's 5'11. And if they will, if they just guard her and they they they pressure her, you know, the the 10% right.

SPEAKER_01

If if they set the pick right, she comes off and she gets the ball and she's able to get it off.

SPEAKER_00

So all right, so let me let me this is not gonna let her.

SPEAKER_01

I understand.

SPEAKER_00

This is not meant to insult you. This is not meant to insult you. It's really not. That is so stupid. But here comes an insult. That is so stupid because if they can get over picks or go under picks against boys, what do you think they're gonna do against girls? Not get over the pick? Okay then. I'm glad we agree. I'm just saying. And and now now let me just piss everyone off. Because you know I like to piss everyone off. Of course you do. If you are one of those people out there, the weekly piss-off segment. Yeah, here we yeah, yeah. If you are my my my dad used to always say it's better to be pissed off than be pissed off. Pissed on, sure. There's two things I gotta mention here. One, let me piss everyone off. If you are a person out there, I'm not even getting political. If you are a person out there that believes biological men should be in women's sports, you are never worth speaking to. You are one of the biggest morons out there. Fight a different fight. You want to fight about inequality with how people get fight that. No good? Fight a different fight. You if you you you think biological men should be in women's sports. No! Okay, so what the fuck? So I just have enough balls to say it, and you don't?

SPEAKER_01

Not looking to piss off the world, Chris. I love to piss off the world. I know you do.

SPEAKER_00

I love to piss off the world. Now I I have to I have to mention something. I should have mentioned this first because I hate like following this with what I'm about to say with what I just said. Um, I have to I have to mention this guy, my cousin Jenna's husband, Nick. Now, I did a hypocrisy uh segment last week, and he gets on me. Called me a hypocrite. Called me a hypocrite. I don't think you're a hypocrite. No, he was he was joking. He was joking. He's like, how do you not mention me with everything I said about the Knicks? So my boy Nick, because my boy Nick told me from the start of the playoffs that the Knicks were gonna win the NBA championship. I called him crazy. I said, You're out of your mind. I sent him a text. I was like, have you not watched the I think he's a little younger than I. I'm 47. I think he's 40 or 41. Have you not watched the last 40 years of Knicks basketball? What goes on? So he's like, How do you not mention me? So, Nick, here is my mention. Great job. I have um my cousin Jenna, who uh I always blast because she's a Mets fan and a Jets fan, so she can't win anything. She sees a video of me and she goes, Wait, now you're wearing Knicks stuff? She goes, You're a fraud. She called me a fraud. Jenna, that hurt.

SPEAKER_01

I agree with her a little bit. I'm a fraud, right? I mean, you were really you were very against the Knicks. I know you're a fan, but you said no chance. No chance. From from Atlanta all the way to like no chance. I still cannot believe it. I cannot believe I'm wearing this hat. And he had a real smile the next day after they won. I listen, when I walk in the office, this man is always knee deep in whatever he's doing, right? He's he's always working on the computer, just face down like this. If you ask him something, he's like, mm-mm. He doesn't pretend you're not even there. You have to actually touch him. Yo, Chris, give me a minute. Give me a minute. All right. Walked in the day after the Knicks won. Uh hey, what's going on, bro? Like this. I told him, I'm like, yo, I got the championship Knicks hat. Did you get me one? He was like a kid in the can. I said, I'll go get him. They got tons of them down there.

SPEAKER_00

I got into a fight with my wife because she didn't order the paraphernalia fast enough. I got into a fight with her.

SPEAKER_01

I did it. Like it's terrible. Meanwhile, you got I ordered the t-shirt. I still haven't gotten it.

SPEAKER_00

All right, so let me tell you this what the argument I got into with my wife, and then we're gonna bring Allison Jordan on. I'll probably I maybe I'll bring this up to her. I said to my wife, this is gonna get me in trouble with my wife, but she knows it's true. I said to her, I'm like, if you want to go on vacation, somehow that vacation is booked within 12 minutes, and we know every the airline, where we're leaving from, where we're going, everything's booked. But I want a t-shirt and it takes two months to show up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, my wife wasn't happy with that. Yeah, that's not good. Yeah, but it was true. Did you didn't do what I did? As soon as they won, the commercial came on. And you bought it right on the spot. I got kicked off the website three times before I actually got it to go through. And I didn't, I I had no idea. I didn't think to myself, hmm, you know, everybody's gonna rush to do this. I can't believe I got one as quick as well.

SPEAKER_00

My wife also said, This is the happiest I've ever seen you.

SPEAKER_01

It's the truth. It was like it was like you just it was like you just saved 15 dogs from getting put down all at the same time.

SPEAKER_00

One dog from getting put down. Yeah, man. Um, but yeah, so uh, you know, that was the things that happen within a marriage. You know, just stupid fights. 28 years for me, 30 years for you. 29. 30 years together. Yeah. So something's working. Well, yeah, 28 years together for us. 25 married. Something's working. Yeah, I'm over 30 now. Jesus Christ. Um, no free picks because there's nothing to go on. It's just baseball.

SPEAKER_01

We'll we'll talk about some uh giving out of preseason football.

SPEAKER_00

Let's go out there and make some money. Keep it right here for former Playboy Playmate, Allison Jordan. Uh, welcome back to the Bet Big Talk Loud podcast. As promised, Allison Jordan was here. We were supposed to have her here last week.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Fred don't look like Allison. What the hell is going on here?

SPEAKER_03

I mean, Fred didn't bring the heels. He didn't wear the heels.

SPEAKER_00

He didn't bring the heels, he did it from his car, but Allison, you come in once a year live in studio. So Allison Jordan, former Playboy, Playmate Miss May. You were telling me something that there was a television show or a movie about a Miss May.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, there is a movie called Miss May. I'd never have seen it though.

SPEAKER_00

So you should try to get some money. Kick back, man. You were a Miss May.

SPEAKER_03

I was Miss May.

SPEAKER_00

We have a lot to talk about. So again, thanks for coming in.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you for having me. Um always so fun.

SPEAKER_00

My wife had told me to watch something on Netflix. Yes. I watched it with her. I wanted to get a woman's take on this. Yes. It was called My Toxic Love Story. That's a crazy one.

SPEAKER_03

That it was insane. It was so good. And it wasn't long.

SPEAKER_00

No, it wasn't.

SPEAKER_03

It was like the perfect watch. And I could not believe like each thing, like as it just kept revealing itself, like it just got crazier and crazier and crazier.

SPEAKER_00

I have a very uh I'm starting to uh lose faith in men.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, I don't want to blow it. Spoiler alert. Yeah, spoiler alert, but you gotta watch it. Like everyone needs to watch this.

SPEAKER_00

I was watching that. So I was happy to watch it because whenever I watch something like that, I feel like I get to like gloat to my wife.

SPEAKER_03

You see, you see, I'm not that bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not that bad. So I like when I watch stuff like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like it, I feel like it helps. Yeah. It helps my case. Right, right. Gives you points. You're like, you're a good dude.

SPEAKER_00

I try, man. I I told you, we were talking before. I told you like my evolution.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

As a man, husband. I met my wife as a teenager.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

And we had kids very young. Yes. So in my 20s, and my wife knows this. I'm like my 20s. I'm like, fuck this bitch. Like, I'm not giving. If we get divorced, she gets nothing. In my 30s, I'm like, ugh, she kind of deserves half. Yep. Yep. I'm 47 now. And I listen, D, you could use this. If it ever happens, we could put this in court. It's on record right now.

SPEAKER_03

That's a red light.

SPEAKER_00

I would stand in front of a judge and give this angel everything. She deserves it for putting up with me.

SPEAKER_03

As she should. Yes. Wonderful.

SPEAKER_00

Now you have your husband. Yes. I said this last year.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Is named Michael Jordan.

SPEAKER_03

Michael Jordan, MJ. Yeah, you can't forget that name.

SPEAKER_00

Who makes the reservations?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I do.

SPEAKER_00

They gotta be in your name, right? I do.

SPEAKER_03

Well, no, but I put it under Michael Jordan. Because I like to get the little, I like to, I don't know, it's like a fun little banter. Like people are like, oh, and I'm like, not okay, don't get so excited. Not that Michael Jordan. I don't want to disappoint you when we come in, but because people ask, like, do you get a better table places? I'm like, yeah, only because I have fun with it. You know, like I make it like, you know.

SPEAKER_00

Michael Jordan might be the worst name for a man. It's hard.

SPEAKER_03

Michael Anthony Jordan.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's a tough name for a man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But he has fun with it though, because people forget his name and he's like, Come on, man. You forget my name.

SPEAKER_00

You cannot forget.

SPEAKER_03

Who forgets Michael Jordan? I know. I know. Who are you dealing with? Or it's a great like icebreaker when he first meets someone, and then like they talk about that for a little bit, and then he talks about how his experience is actually opposite. You know that ESPAN commercial that was out?

SPEAKER_00

Great one.

SPEAKER_03

He's like, my experience has been opposite because it's like not like a it's like everyone loves MJ. Like he's like a positive figure in everyone's life, right? So like when people find out that his name's Michael Jordan, they're like, no way, that's awesome. Like, if it was someone like, I mean Michael Jackson, or like somebody like that might have like a little questionable, like I'm just trying to think, like who would be like a bad name? Like you wouldn't want that name.

SPEAKER_00

LeBron James.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. People were polarizing.

SPEAKER_00

People might be like, oh yeah, oh, I'm sure I'm gonna get it for that one. So you're you're uh you guys live in California, but your husband's from New York. So he's you can tell the Nick, he was a big Knicks fan. He's a big Knicks fan.

SPEAKER_03

Big Knicks fan.

SPEAKER_00

So were you dealing with the same stuff that my wife was dealing with?

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Just yeah. Oh yeah. It was crazy, right?

SPEAKER_03

I was uh I was a single parent. I was uh I was like, I am ordering Uber Eats tonight because I'm on my own. Uh yeah, he was fully invested. And what was funny, he was trying to get the kids into it, and they're still young, they're like five and eight. So like they'd be into it for a little while, but then he's like, No, I want to watch the game. And so then I'd be like, all right, well, go to skate park or we'll go do something else.

SPEAKER_00

Now, did you do the um secretive videotape of your husband standing at a television? Like my wife got me on numerous times.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that is amazing, though. Yeah, she got you.

SPEAKER_00

She got me numerous times. Um, because of the business I'm in, and you know, we have girls that gamble.

SPEAKER_03

That's right.

SPEAKER_00

I I'm not really a fan of certain teams, but I've said forever, and everyone who knows me knows this. The only team I wanted to see ever win a championship really want is the Knicks. This is the only team I ever wanted to see win a championship.

SPEAKER_03

That's very sweet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah, my wife. Now you said something that my wife said.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

She was like, this is bullshit. Yeah. Because I'm all right with the Knicks. I know you're a Knicks fan.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, yes, yes. But then we go to the World Cup. Straight into the World Cup. We just carried that high. We just kept flying high. It was fun, it was fun, but I didn't anticipate the hours spent. Like, my husband had the audacity to ask me. He's like, So, have you watched any of the World Cup? I'm like, I mean, I'm trying to, but like, he's like, I've seen everyone. I'm like, okay, good on you. That's a lot of hours. But okay. I was like, no, I was with the kids. I didn't get to see every single kids. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Being a mom, being a mom, while the husband, yeah, father just gets to go do whatever he wants to do.

SPEAKER_03

Enjoying every game. But I mean, you know, there are worse things.

SPEAKER_00

There are worse things. My wife was sitting there and she was just like, Chris, I'll give you the Knicks. Yeah. She's like, now soccer's on every day. Yeah. Yeah. So then last night was the first preseason game for the NFL, Arizona, Carolina. Yep. I watched a little bit. On television, and she's just like, I'm not ready for football.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, it I have to be honest, I came home and the TV was on, and that's what was on, and I wasn't anticipating. I had forgotten the preseason has already it's already started. Yeah, it just thought of it. Whoa, okay, we're here. It's happening.

SPEAKER_00

So I have this private inside joke. Well, it's not private when you say it on a podcast, but now it's out. But it's a joke, but it actually is true.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So right around August 15th, every single year, I say to my wife, see in April.

SPEAKER_03

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

That's why I say to her, see in April. She knows.

SPEAKER_03

But she'd probably she knows. She's probably got it on the calendar.

SPEAKER_00

She knows. Yeah. You know, um she knows what that means. Last year, um, last year was a bad year for me in terms of televisions. Okay. I broke I broke three TVs. Oh, three. You actually saw you in your mouth. I knew about the one. Yeah. Yeah, I broke three.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

You know, that's childish. I shouldn't really do that. You know, I broke three televisions, so my.

SPEAKER_03

Is there something else you can break, maybe?

SPEAKER_00

Like what?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. It's just something less expensive. Like that just seems like a luxury good.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, so so think about it. You can't go after a human.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And you can't go after a dog.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Right? Yeah. I mean, if you throw a glass, that could break everywhere. Really be, really be problematic. Yeah, that's dangerous. And the TV is what is showing you the nonsense.

SPEAKER_03

True. True.

SPEAKER_00

My wife was sitting there last night, and she's just like, please, no TVs this year. Yes. Just be a cool thing.

SPEAKER_03

That's a good deal. That's a good deal. Well, how else? What are we going to channel it into, though, instead? But then hopefully we don't have any of that. Like, hopefully we don't have any.

SPEAKER_00

Hopefully, we have so this was just a couple of bad plays in a couple games. Like uh, and the game that really set me off, and people out there who gambled on it know it. You wouldn't know this though. No. No, I don't believe so. Uh Arizona was playing Tennessee last year, and a guy for Arizona was running for a touchdown, which is gonna put the game away. It's a blowout, it's gonna put the game away. And he drops the ball before he crosses the end zone.

SPEAKER_03

Why would he do that?

SPEAKER_00

Right, right.

SPEAKER_03

What's going on there? From a Playboy Playmate who's never had a football in her hands running for a touchdown. I don't think that's how we play the game.

SPEAKER_00

I don't think that's what goes down. So now in that same game, Arizona intercepts a ball in the end zone, tries to run it out, fumbles the ball back into the end zone, Tennessee scores a touchdown, there goes the television.

SPEAKER_03

So you can see that just took me on a full body journey there. Yeah, that's uh that is.

SPEAKER_00

So now there's another part to that story.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So how would you react to this? Being a mother, yeah, lovely person, how would you react to this? After that TV got broken, I threw everyone out of my house. Now it's a Sunday, obviously football.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I looked at everyone get the fuck out.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

What my wife was so nail left. Everyone get out.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So what my wife was, what she was so upset about, she goes, this was a couple days later, she's like, I can't believe you threw us out on a Sunday. That's the Lord's Day.

SPEAKER_02

There you go.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like, if it was Wednesday, is it any better? I get away from the show. What do you do if your husband breaks a TV and then throws you out of the house? What do you do? Say no?

SPEAKER_03

No. I would I would go. I would just go get sushi somewhere or something. I don't know. Yes. I'd be like, all right, well, uh, come on, kids, let's go. We're going to Benny Hanna. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I threw her out of the house. I threw and it was so sweet.

SPEAKER_03

Where'd she go? What'd she do?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I have never asked.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. Yeah, they all just left. My son, my oldest son, his girlfriend was at the house. Yeah. Out too. Okay. The only people that were allowed to stay were the dogs.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

That was it.

SPEAKER_03

And what did you do during that time?

SPEAKER_00

Just sat on the couch. Yeah. I don't even know. Contemplating my life's choices.

SPEAKER_03

I do that a lot. That happens a lot for me.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, contemplating my life's choices. Like, yeah. Because, you know, for our business, when when we lose a game like that, it's tough for us. But we have so many customers that are also on a game like that.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

And we want to make sure they win. We do our very best. You do. You are the best. Yeah, it's not just thank you. It's your integrity. Yeah, it's not just us losing, it's our customers. Customers were on that game as well. Yeah. Game had no business losing.

SPEAKER_03

I was just gonna say, you could never have known what was gonna go down. Like that is like crazy.

SPEAKER_00

And then the other one one of the other TVs, the one in my office, where Grandmar is now. Okay. The picture of my grandmother is right where the TV was.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Um Texas Vanderbilt.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. So when you so another college game?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well, Arizona, Tennessee was NFL. Oh, NFL. Okay. This was uh this was college. Okay. Gamblers out there know this, man. When you lose a game like that, you remember it. Um when you win a game that you're not supposed to win, you really don't remember it.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

But the losses You remember. You remember. So Texas Vanderbilt, the TV in the office went.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Is that like that's like a little rage? I mean, that's excuse me.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, maybe channel that into I don't know. Like, can you can you punch? I see you have a whole gym set up out here, maybe like a punching bag or get one of those like big guy, like fake like body.

SPEAKER_00

My wife bought me a speed bag for Christmas. There you go. She's like, hit this, Chris.

SPEAKER_03

Just punch that. Just give it a little bit more.

SPEAKER_00

Uh but that's the uh the emotion of our job.

SPEAKER_03

But that's how passionate that is to say, like, look at the passion that shows how much you care and how you know Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. When you get it like that though, yeah, that's tough.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, so let's talk about you because you're in there. You have two beautiful children.

unknown

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

The oldest guy, the oldest guy's gonna give gray hair quick. Am I going gray? What's happening here?

SPEAKER_03

But he is making me with the skateboarding. Oh, that I what you know what's crazy though? I trust him. He will not do a trick. Like the other day, these kids were like daring him to do stuff, and he was on this like 12-foot bowl, and he's like, nah, I'm not doing it. And I was like, good for you. Like he'll only do stuff that he knows he can do because he wants to land it. Like he doesn't want to do it and not make it.

SPEAKER_00

So I mean, you gotta see this kid's videos on Instagram and she posts them. I always joke around with you. I'm like, this is the next Tony Hawk. Like this kid, eight years old, yeah, is doing these crazy tricks. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, wow, like that looks great. So that's a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_03

He's uh yeah, we're all in, he's all in, he's having fun, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Now you are also dealing with something right now that I am glad to not deal with. Yeah, right now I had to go through it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I was gonna say, you have experience with this though.

SPEAKER_00

I'm done with this. You're dealing with youth sports right now.

SPEAKER_03

And we're just getting because this is like our third baseball season.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Eight years old.

SPEAKER_03

Eight years old.

SPEAKER_00

Eight years old. The only thing that should be going on in youth sports, and I say this looking at you with a camera. Yeah, have fun.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, have fun, enjoy your time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But these fucking parents, man, it's crazy. They will ruin it. So isn't it crazy in California? Oh, as it's been in New York.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, crazy. California is crazy to begin with, but then you add in youth sports and you add in wealth and privilege and all, like, it is just so crazy the amount of like private coaching, the amount of like those bats, you know, those like $500 crazy bats. The kids have one for practice, and then they have my kids don't, but they have one for practice. I'm like, we're going to big five. Mom's got a coupon. Like, like, listen, I am like, you're eight. You can get a special bat when you're like when it's special bat time.

SPEAKER_00

Equivalent for that was my son playing hockey with the sticks.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

And my son ended up did playing hockey at a very high level.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, he did.

SPEAKER_00

And I would to to the day that he stopped playing. Well, when his last year he was getting the sticks through sponsor, which was great.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_00

Every time I saw this kid line up for a slap shop, I'm like, God, don't break your stick. Like, because every stick is $400.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, they're $400. I didn't know they're $400. Crazy.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like, what the hell you need a $400 stick for? Why?

SPEAKER_03

That's crazy. Does it really make a difference? It makes a difference. How would I know, man?

SPEAKER_00

I was never uh, boy, it's just it's the scam. I always say this about hockey. I don't know if you feel this way about baseball. I would say this about hockey. They came youth hockey. Yes. They came up with a legal way to rob people. Absolutely. Legally, they rob. Absolutely. And then if you don't go for the rob, you're like the worst parent ever.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it's a whole racket.

SPEAKER_00

Like, wait, wait, what? You want, huh? For how much? Didn't I just pay $13,000 in tuition? Uh-huh. Now you want another $2,000 for sweatsuits? Uh-huh. Like shit. Um, but yeah, baseball, you youth sports in America right now, I believe is a problem.

SPEAKER_03

It is insane.

SPEAKER_00

It really Like you were telling me when we were in the office, you said if your son is just pitching one day, oh yeah. You get you get like all the looks.

SPEAKER_03

Like, why is he pitching today? I'm like, I'm not the coach. I have no idea. I mean, fortunately, I I played softball, not like I quit in like, I don't know, junior high. When things got crazy, when it was like you could either go and play like um select or like, you know, more like higher level. My parents were same for soccer. They were like, she's not really good enough. She's gonna do you're gonna do other things, sweetheart. Um, and I did. And so, but I know like I know the rules of baseball, I know how it's played, but my favorite thing is to play dumb, though. I'm like, I don't know. Just just always be pitching right now, always pitcher. Oh, I thought he was catching. Oh, okay, I don't know. Like, I like to play.

SPEAKER_00

You don't have blonde hair.

SPEAKER_03

We can say dumb blondes, and I'll be pizzy blonde. I do like to be like, oh, oh, I don't always pitching. Oh, cute.

SPEAKER_00

I always for for youth sports, whenever my kids played, I always sat as far away from parents as possible. Smart. Because I played my sport at a very high level. Yes. And I'm just sitting there and I'm like, nah, first of all, my mom and dad never got involved.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Smart, smart. Right?

SPEAKER_00

Ever ever got involved. And um, they never called the coach on my behalf.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And if I had a bad game, those happened. Yeah. And it was just like, you had a bad game, get them next time.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

You know, like it happens.

SPEAKER_03

That's you know, that's how I intend to be.

SPEAKER_00

That's it. Yeah. I I was it's gotta be fun. Yeah. First and foremost, it's gotta be fun. Yeah. Um, so there is a polarizing thing going on in our country right now. Yes. I took some heat for it last week, but you know me, I don't care. Yeah, I'll say it. What I feel is right, I'll say, and if I feel it's wrong, and I feel if I'm wrong, I'll come on and say it. The these biological men playing women's sports, obviously you're a female, right? Yes. How would you feel of having someone in your locker room or someone now you have to compete with that you know is should not be there?

SPEAKER_03

Right. It's too much tea. They got too much. I'm like, that's a lot. I just think, yeah, I I don't think it's I don't think it's fair. Like, I really don't um I hadn't really thought about it until you had brought it up because it just hadn't really, it wasn't something that I was on my radar. But then I took the week to think about it and I was like, how would I feel if my sons came to me? I would be like, guys, that's not right. That's not cool. Like I want you to live your life, be happy, what have you. But I don't think that that would be fair.

SPEAKER_00

So we're all for inclusion. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Like I'm I don't care.

SPEAKER_00

It is not my business. Totally, I don't care what someone does, right? Yes. Don't care. How you live your life, you live your life. But if there was never last week, the firestorm I started is because when I started the conversation, I first said women brought this upon themselves. Like I was speaking down to women. I wasn't saying that. What I was saying was for years, women have said they can compete with men when they can't. Right? So if there was never a need for a male sport and a female sport, there would just be one sport. Right. That's it, one league.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_00

If you're good enough to compete, you go compete with the men. Yes. Because you're not, you have your own league, which is great. Yeah, there have been some, there have been amazing female athletes. One of my favorites of all time, and this is not bullshit. My wife knows this. Yeah. Serena Williams. Incredible. One of my favorite athletes of all time. I loved watching her compete. Yes. As great as she was, can you imagine if she had to play against biological men?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, it's just not, yeah, no. And I cannot understand how we got here. That's what I'm like, how did we get here? Like, what's what is the why? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like I always I I make this joke. Like, imagine there's a boardroom, right? And there's a table with 15 people sitting around it. So you know you get 15 people in any walk of life. You definitely have an idiot in there. All right. And if one guy stands up and is like, oh, I got it, let's let biological men play with women. Where are all the other people of consequence saying, that's probably not a great idea? Right.

SPEAKER_03

Like, how does this get passed? I I have no idea. Like, how did we get here? Like, this was never like yeah, this is great. This is crazy. It's madness.

SPEAKER_00

It was uh it was a topic last week. Sophie Cunningham from the WNBA. Yes. I thought she did a tremendous job. She's taking heat for sticking up for women.

SPEAKER_03

That's honestly the argument I feel is that women are acknowledging like we are our own, like we are very competitive. They are, I mean, amazing, phenomenal athletes, but they are like, yeah, it's not, it's just not, it's apples to oranges.

SPEAKER_00

Like we can't I have said on this podcast numerous times, okay, if the the world would end instantly if it wasn't for women.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

There there are no holidays. Yeah. I I this is not a joke. I say this to my kids all the time. That woman didn't exist. Yeah. You're getting a handshake on Christmas, birthday, Easter. I I would not even explain what my wife does on Valentine's Day, like for these kids, right? I'm like, you're getting a handshake. Merry Christmas, happy birthday. Yeah. Here's a gift card. Go do what you do. Yeah. Holidays don't exist. Um, life as we know it does not exist. But when it comes to playing sports, right? That's basically male-dominated. Yes. Okay. And the men have done a tremendous job.

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

That's not to say women should not play sports. No, no, no, no, not too much.

SPEAKER_03

No, no. But I don't think they should have to be able to compete against each other.

SPEAKER_00

Agreed.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think that that's fair.

SPEAKER_00

No, it's fair. It's not fair.

SPEAKER_03

Especially for these women that have worked so hard and trained so hard. I just don't think that that's fair because they have a biological disadvantage.

SPEAKER_00

So here's what I feel is the problem with society. Well, one of the many problems. Oh, right. Is people are just so afraid to speak the truth. Right? Like because me, I don't care. Yeah. Like I go out and kill Chris Hodge. I don't say whatever you're gonna say. Yeah. I don't care. Yeah. Right? It is what it is. Yeah. But people know this is right.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They know biological men should not be playing women's sports. They know this. You put the truth serum in their arm. Yeah. And they had to answer truthfully, they know the truth. Right. But for whatever the reason, when they're in front of a camera or out in public, they peddle some bullshit. I don't like the bullshitter.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, no. Um. That's what I appreciate about you. You're not afraid. You're not afraid to speak your mind. And so many people are because they don't want to get canceled. I mean, you know.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you live in California.

SPEAKER_03

I live in California. There's a lot there's a lot going on there in California.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I learned a valuable lesson when I was a very young, young boy. Right? I wasn't even going into being a young man yet. Um, and it was said to me from a family member who I greatly respected, and he said, There's a good chance that so many people are gonna talk about you, and it's very rarely gonna be good. So why care? And I was told that probably like 12 or 13 years old, and it just like a light went off.

SPEAKER_03

It was like don't care.

SPEAKER_00

Why care?

SPEAKER_03

Why care?

SPEAKER_00

Why care?

SPEAKER_03

Live your truth.

SPEAKER_00

I like to date that my wife, when I'm not breaking televisions, thinks I'm a great guy.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

All right, yes. My kids, I hope I have their respect. Yes, I've done the best I can. Absolutely. What else is there? Yeah, you know, some lunatic typing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like crazy, right?

SPEAKER_03

And they probably have an agenda, or they just want to start stuff. People just want the drama.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so yeah, it's crazy, but we're at a crazy time.

SPEAKER_03

We're at a very crazy time.

SPEAKER_00

We're at a crazy time. Um, you know, a lot of um, I try to stay away from politics. I always have um, because it's so divisive, but sometimes you have to speak about it, right? But I always try to tie it into sports because a lot of politics, you know, there's a lot of things that go into sports. And uh I said it last week. I said, man, if I was able to bet a biological male in a woman's sport, I would unload on that bet. Absolutely, absolutely everything. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_03

Go bet it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so that's I just that's where we're at right now. It's it's crazy. Um, but you're you're just getting into it now with with just young young boys.

SPEAKER_03

Just getting started.

SPEAKER_00

Just getting started. Eight-year-old, five-year-old. You say your five-year-old is a little.

SPEAKER_03

He's a little, he's wild. My five-year-old, I really want to get him into uh jujitsu because I feel like I gotta channel the energy and the wanting to fight. He just wants to fight, he wants to go with me. And I'm like, I'm your mom. All right, no, no.

SPEAKER_00

So I think we need to all like learn some jujitsu together so that I'm you have the the the tablespoon, the wood the wooden tablespoon in the house, like the old Italians used to think.

SPEAKER_03

No, I live in California, so we talk about our feelings, and we talk about why are you behaving this way, you know.

SPEAKER_00

I I mean, I'm in New York, yeah. New York and California, about one in the same.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But I think it's different with a dad for boys, because those are your boys. Yeah, those are your little boys. Yeah, I'm telling you, my kids, in the in the eyes of their grandmothers and mother, yeah. I I really think these kids could be stabbing me. And then these these women would be like, oh, yeah, it's not a little boy. Me, I'm like, we ain't friends. Yeah, you fuck up, I'm coming to get you.

SPEAKER_03

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_00

You know, and then and now it's not another fuck if it is what happens. Your husband's gonna go through this. Yeah, right. They get big.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Now I might not win the fight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I have a military one.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, yes, you have a I have a military one.

SPEAKER_00

A trained killer.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00

I gotta be good with this. And this guy was the one, me and the trained killer, we went at it numerous times. Oh. Now I'm like, uh man, I got like, yeah, you can get a bullet in the head. Some of this nonsense. Uh, before you go, and it's always great having you in the studio.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you. Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_00

GirlsThat Gamble.live. Yes. You know, we're in our second year now. Yes. Um, first year, building blocks, all great. Uh, going under the takingvegas.com umbrella, but we're really excited for girls that gamble.live.

SPEAKER_03

I am really, really excited.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you do a lot of great work with that. Brandy Roderick.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Um, obviously Jessica Hall. She's phenomenal. Yes. Um, Chanel. Chanel. Yeah. Always fun. You made a comment about Chanel's boobs last year.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, you can't miss them. She's there. They're out there. She puts them out there, they'll look good. Chanel, don't change anything.

SPEAKER_00

Chanel, all great girls, and definitely um, you know, our we we talk about women in sports, right? Gambling is male-dominated mostly.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Right? But I I I I don't know. Tell me if you disagree with this, right? So we all live in the same country, all right. Different states have different laws, whatever. Right. But we all pay our taxes, right? So right now, sports gambling is not legal in your state. Right. California. Right. Okay. I am of the ilk. Yeah. You're a good person. Yeah. You make your money, yeah. You pay your taxes.

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely. If I want to go fucking gamble, why not?

SPEAKER_00

I go gamble.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it makes the games more fun. Like, gambling's great for everyone. I I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I don't think there shouldn't be a negative connotation.

SPEAKER_00

So here's the negative connotation. Tell me. Because sometimes people gamble more than they can afford to lose. Okay, so so when you're gambling, like, and I do this and I I have what I have, but even if I go to Atlantic City, and again, I say this, I preface this with my wife knows this about me. No, this is bullshit.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I take the amount of money that I'm willing to lose.

SPEAKER_03

There you go.

SPEAKER_00

Not that I want to lose, not that I expect to lose.

SPEAKER_03

That you are able to, that you comfortably feel like, okay, if I lose this amount.

SPEAKER_00

Yep. And I say this, because we do the sports investors daily radio show uh 40 weeks a year. I say this on radio all the time. Do not bet more than you can afford to lose.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that's great. That's a great life advice.

SPEAKER_00

It is when people listen.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. A lot of times. Say it again.

SPEAKER_00

So now gambling is a male-dominated industry.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But males don't really listen well. Well like do you have this problem with your husband when you talk to a minute?

SPEAKER_03

All the time. I have to repeat myself. All I gotta write it down. I'm like, I texted to you. You gotta, yeah, you gotta remind a lot of reminders.

SPEAKER_00

So my wife said was talking to me probably about two weeks ago. I don't know what she was saying. Sorry. And she knows. And I did not respond.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I just whatever she said to me, I did, I just didn't respond. Okay. She wasn't happy about that. She's like, can you give me something? Can you give me an answer? Yeah. That would piss you off. Just say something and you don't respond.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I wouldn't, I would, I'd I'd give a minute. I'd wait. I'm sure she waited a minute, and then when she realized she wasn't gonna get any type of nothing. No, nothing. No.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Yeah. It was 28 years, by the way. Successful marriage.

SPEAKER_03

I was gonna say, you guys, you gotta give yourself, both of you, a lot of credit. That is a beautiful beautiful marriage. 28 years, that's really impressive.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not saying this to sound high and mighty. I'm not. I deserve zero of the credit. I think um I was uh the way I raised my boys was hey, we're doing things a certain way. In terms of the marriage succeeding, yeah, that's my wife. Yeah, my wife is just she is an amazing lady, man. I'll tell you, and and if if I had a different woman, I might be doing 20 to life. I don't know how long it would last. Yeah, I might be doing 20 to life, man. She she made it work.

SPEAKER_02

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_00

And I think that's what women do. It's the women that make these things work. Yes, you know, and this is why I feel bad about women having to deal with this bullshit in sports. This is why I feel bad. They should not have to deal with this.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It's bad, right?

SPEAKER_03

It's bad. It's bad.

SPEAKER_00

It's they should not have to deal with this. It's it's unfair. And if you say, well, you can't compete with men, well, you're the worst person ever. This is common sense. I'm like, this is I'm saying you shouldn't have to even think about competing with a man.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Go play your own sport, make your own money.

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

You deserve to be paid a fair wage based on what your league is producing. Yes. Go get your money, have fun with it.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. Did the US women's soccer now aren't they getting paid the same now? Isn't that like a thing?

SPEAKER_00

So, oh boy. Is that a whole other? Did I open up a thing? Okay, never mind. But I'm like, hey, this is the Bet Big Talk Out podcast. Okay, I don't necessarily agree with that one. Okay. And um now, in fairness, the women generally go and win championships in soccer.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, is that what the argument is? Okay, the argument is they're producing. So they're producing wins. Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

But in terms of overall revenue.

SPEAKER_03

Ah, okay, they're not getting the same thing.

SPEAKER_00

They're not getting the same, they're not they're not bringing in the same. I mean, the the the male, the male World Cup just made 15 billion.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_00

The women aren't doing that.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_00

Right? Right. But hey, listen, you know what? They're both athletes.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They put their time in, training as hard as they can.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know what? Okay. I have I believe. So, like, think about it. From think about it from um, I I don't know how you were paid for Playboy, and it's not my business. But think about it like this, right? So you're Miss May?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. So let's say you do uh your your magazine comes out. And let's say you do five million in sales.

SPEAKER_02

Great.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Now let's say Miss June comes out. Yeah. She's not as pretty. The sales don't go as well. And let's say she does 500,000 in sales. Okay. Okay. Should Allison Jordan, Miss May, make just as much as whoever was in June who didn't do as well.

SPEAKER_03

We did, because we designed it. We all had the same contract pretty much. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So you all had the same contract. I hate that.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. I hear what you're saying.

SPEAKER_00

I don't like that.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. You feel like that it should be incentivized.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and I did not know how you got paid, and it's not my business, right? But if your Miss May sells a million more magazines, there was no bonus structure.

SPEAKER_03

There was no like No, no, there's not any type of like performance tier. Like it's it was all based on So let me ask you this then.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. What's the what's the what's the motivation to go out and do a great job if you know you're just gonna be paid the same? Like what's the motivation of pushing your magazine cover or pushing everything? Well is the motivation. That's the way I feel.

SPEAKER_03

I guess for us, it was only for future endorsements. So that was like we were able to parlay that opportunity. Like Playboy was an opportunity. What you make of it, some girls just posed and that was it, and they were done. And they never stepped foot at like Playboy Mansion ever again. Like that was it, one and done. Other girls like myself were able to like parlay that into other opportunities. So I took that as okay, this is a launching pad. I have a chance here to use my title, to use my name at Playboy and see what I can do, you know.

SPEAKER_00

So you took it to another level. Yes. And hopefully you were paid accordingly. Yes. Right. Yes. See, I I just uh different athletes bring different stuff to the table. Totally. I feel like if you're at the top of your profession, you should be paid more than someone who isn't.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I just I just don't like it. I like you know, if you bring in X amount of dollars, yeah, you should be paid more. Yeah. Saying, Oh, we're all equal, or we're not all equal. It's it's a bad it's a bad thing to say. Yeah, but it's not meant in a bad way.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no. I hear what you're saying. They are bringing they're generating more revenue.

SPEAKER_00

So, God willing, in 10 years, right? We're watching your lovely son pitch at a high level. Ah, we'll see, yeah. And I hope he's making a lot of money.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. That would be very nice for mom and dad.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um I just want him to be happy. Is he Michael Jordan too? No, Oliver.

SPEAKER_00

Oliver Jordan. Oliver. We went completely away from Michael Jordan.

SPEAKER_03

We went, we were like, we don't want to have that mess again. That was a lot. That's uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But uh Allison Jordan, always a pleasure.

SPEAKER_03

Always a pleasure, and I love that you make me think. You get me like thinking about stuff. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_00

Well, a lot of this, like we spoke about some stuff in my office, but even when I um, you know, the first part of this podcast was with JR, we really don't script anything. Yeah, it's it's just natural. There's nothing, I mean you can't see any part of the studio, but there's nothing written down here. We really don't script anything. We want it to be genuine. Yeah. Even if the answer isn't something that we like or want, right? JR and I battle all the time about this. But that's I think that's what good talk is.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I appreciate you. I it's getting me thinking, it's getting me like out of my comfort zone and like because everything's so PC now. You know, everything is like safe. Everything is like, oh, don't say that, like walking on eggshells. And what I appreciate about you is that you're not afraid to tell the truth or just speak your mind.

SPEAKER_00

That's it.

SPEAKER_03

It's a beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_00

And I'm I'm not here to offend anyone. I'm not trying to offend it. Oh, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

You're like the nicest guy. You're not gonna be like, I'm not trying to offend anyone.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just like common sense.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Listen, like, no women in sports, uh no men in women's sports.

SPEAKER_03

Really? Damn.

SPEAKER_00

Damn, like we gotta we gotta say that now. Yeah, like and just that that's the way I've always been.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I have this saying, my wife hates this.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, she don't like this. Oh no. This is the type of person I am.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

My wife hates this about me. Uh, if someone says something bad to me, I'm saying something worse back.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

And that generally ends it.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. And she doesn't want you to retaliate, or she doesn't want you to stand up for yourself, or what part does she not like about it?

SPEAKER_00

She doesn't. I am um, this is gonna sound I'm a gifted. And whenever you say that, that's a little bit of a uh arrogant word. I am a gifted trash talker. My wife cannot understand how fast I can come up with something that's negative. She can't figure it out. The quick wit, yeah. She cannot figure out yeah, and so my wife, I don't know if you're like this too. My wife, whenever she gets into an argument with someone, she's the type of person like an hour later, she's like, I should have said this.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Why didn't I say this? Or maybe sometimes I need to say less. I sometimes just let it, and then I'm like not me.

SPEAKER_00

Not me. And if you're gonna say it, if you're gonna say something, yeah, don't be mad when something uh bad gets said back. So it's just that's how I am. And then I also believe everyone's entitled to their opinion. Yes. So if someone's watching this podcast right now and they don't like it, they're entitled to their opinion. They could say whatever they want to say. Yes. Hopefully, most people do like it and they find it interesting because we're trying to entertain.

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

But that's how I am, man. So it's good to have uh a person that you say, wow, you're making me think. I like it.

SPEAKER_03

It's really making me think. No, like genuinely. Like I like, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00

I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_03

Refreshing.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I look forward to what next August. Now you come, you come once a year.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I come once a year. And I also come in the fall as well. Or for the holidays. So Christmas.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_03
