Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:26

It's good. It's nice. You look good, Sia.

SPEAKER_02 0:30

Oh, this old thing? Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_03 0:34

Shame on you because Sia is rep in the store, which we will all be doing in time. A no plays off button to the top polo. Looks sharp. Yeah, it's not, it's not bad.

SPEAKER_02 0:47

This is uh first of all, the logo endorsement. Well, no, I mean the thing is it wouldn't matter. Like the shirt is fine, like people don't like the button up thing, that's fine. But this logo, I can't take my eyes off this logo. I mean, I you put this logo on anything, and it's gonna look really, really good. Period.

SPEAKER_05 1:03

Can you guys give me like two minutes?

SPEAKER_03 1:05

Yeah, seriously. Yeah, we will. We'll give you two minutes. Does he have one too? Yeah, he does, and of course, he didn't show up wearing it. Now, I I don't so SPJ was kind enough to you know empty the store for us with generosity. He said, Yes, you know, each of you guys pick something, what do you want? See you, of course, request to the polo. Uh, I I think Thorb got the quarter zip. We're gonna find out in a second, and I requested a hat. Now, again, for anyone watching, you can see I'm rocking just your traditional BNN hat. That's because uh apparently my no plays off hat, it hasn't shipped yet. So I'm waiting. I'm I'm waiting. But once it's here, you're gonna see it. I don't think he sent it.

SPEAKER_02 1:46

I just feel like you were very low priority for some reason, Adam. I don't know, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:50

He's like, whatever. This guy's already got he's already got an any given wager quarter zip, he's already got a BN hat. Like, how much does this guy want?

SPEAKER_02 1:57

Speaking of wagers, you're predictably wearing a Red Sox shirt. Like, how into base? How into baseball betting do you get relative to like let's say the NFL or NBA?

SPEAKER_03 2:08

Sure. Uh, I would say not as much is the short answer. Uh, are you rocking it? Oh, real quick, let's break the mat. Corb, Corb.

SPEAKER_05 2:19

Yeah, yeah, it's me right here. That was also did you also change your hat? Yep, because it wouldn't have worked the other way, you know what I mean? I had to match it. A lot of hats laying around if you've just if you noticed.

SPEAKER_03 2:31

That was good.

SPEAKER_05 2:32

You look like you're gonna go to the movie APS packages. I mean, I don't know if I agree with that, but a lot of brown. This is not even brown, really.

SPEAKER_03 2:43

It's just the lighting, I think. There, there, yeah. We're gonna have to have to adjust your camera or something. Your light on me.

SPEAKER_02 2:50

So, Thorb, you've been on this incredible betting run, which you showed us all via text this this month. I mean, you've really been like red hot, uh, particularly in bragged about it in golf. But I was asking when you went to change, I was asking Adam how much he bets on MLB. I mean, we're opening day, we've got nine day games today, by the way. I mean, this is like they're just throwing it right at us. Finally, well, yeah, finally. Uh, how much go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 3:16

I well, I was just gonna say, like, that I talked about this a little bit, I I think on uh on Bet Espresso last night, so I won't I won't do the full thing again, but I just this sport can't get out of its own way. We had an incredible, maybe the best world series of all time between the Dodgers and and Blue Jays. I wish it had gone the other way, but nevertheless, an incredible seven-game series, the world baseball classic, wildly entertaining for anyone that gave a damn. And then, you know, like Major League Baseball has this wonderful opportunity on Wednesday, on hump day, to do what it's doing today, to give us games starting as early as five minutes from now, you know, a one o'clock Eastern-ish start, games all throughout the day and night. It's opening day. Boom, let's celebrate. Instead, what does it do? No, let's just have the one primetime game behind the paywall on Netflix on Wednesday, and then other teams can open up Thursday and Friday. Oh, I don't know, just a few during the day, mostly at night, and go opposite the sweet 16. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 4:18

Well, what do you expect from the worst run major sport in the entire world? It's just annoying. It's I mean, they there's so many things that baseball could you want to talk about dominating Wednesday, the day before the Sweet 16. And I understand there's travel issues with baseball, there's a lot of games and logistics to, but like dur when Sunday night football is like prior to Sunday night football, which of course dominates, and so we're talking like five, six months from now, you could have like two or three games on Sunday night and just have MLB completely dominate that time slot, like like NFL does with Sunday night football. There's so many little things MLB can do that they're just not doing, and again, I understand logistically like it can be an issue with teams having to travel and and all of that stuff, but I mean, baseball just doesn't get it, they've never gotten it. We've got the salary cap issue, we're probably gonna have the lockout. It's it's fun to bet on. It's obviously a great sport, but they you're right, they can't get out of their own way.

SPEAKER_03 5:16

Anyway, to your question about betting baseball. So I would not get, I know we like to fancy ourselves not professional betters, but professional handicappers, not in every sport. If you're a jack of all trades, you're a master of none, right? Like if you handicap every sport, you know, you probably don't handicap any particular sport very, very well. And so, you guys, you have your specialties for me. It's probably more NFL NBA than anything else, but I like to dabble in everything or tail people that I trust in other things, and so baseball, which I am a big fan of, I love the sport, I'm just not very good at betting it. I love to jump in, especially on opening day, just the pageantry of opening day and the the thrill of opening day. Like, I get nostalgic about opening day, thinking back to my childhood because baseball was really a first love for me. But when it comes to betting the sport, man, I've tried so many different avenues from props to dingerlays to nerfy yourfies to just trusting insides. But here's the thing about baseball is anyone who bets baseball knows I'm not sure there is a sport out there other than maybe hockey that has uh more variants than baseball, you know. Like if your starting pitcher sucks, it doesn't matter what it like. I I can trust in Garrett Crochet today, and it's just like he just cy young candidate, feels like a free square, so to speak, and he should go out and do what he typically does. And you hope the offense does enough. Boom, Red Sox win deserving favorites. But what if you get shelled? What if over two or three innings Garrett Crochet sucks, or worse yet, Garrett Crochet is awesome through like six or seven innings, and the Red Sox are up, you know, three to two going into the eighth, and then the bullpen implodes. It's just there are so many different ways that you can get burned by this sport that I have decided this year, I have the things that I'm going to do, but generally speaking, I'm dialing it back. I'm not gonna let this sport bankrupt me.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Uh yeah, it's a long season, too. Uh Thorb, you do you bet in uh on baseball at all?

SPEAKER_05 7:16

Yeah, baseball sucks, so I'm not I don't really care about it too much. Or or do I bet it? I get I have like one baseball bet today, and then I made a bet already. I'll probably just bet the Mets because they're they're my they're my guys, but um yeah, I don't know. I don't really care last year when the season started, I'd bet like five guys a day to hit home runs because I thought that'd be fun. That got out of hand quick, they just weren't hitting the home runs. What I did was I looked at all the guys that had the most home runs last season and who haven't hit one yet, and I would just bet them every single time they played. And boy, did they go on some streaks and not hit no runs. Didn't work. Didn't work.

SPEAKER_02 7:56

I don't think I don't think taking home like so. The path for me with baseball, and and I'm not as into baseballs as some of the other sports, and I don't give out a lot of baseball bets, but I do bet it a lot because it's like a very easy sport to bet, it's like slow moving. Uh, you can kind of get in there with a live play, you can do other stuff while you're watching baseball, much like golf, in my opinion. With that said, soundtrack of summer, man.

SPEAKER_03 8:17

What's that? Soundtrack of summer.

SPEAKER_02 8:19

Baseball's just always there. I like the first five bets because it takes the bullpen out of it. And it and by the way, if you're if your pitcher blows up, it was already a bad bet. You know what I mean? So you're isolating the starting pitching, you're isolating the lineups going through like one or you know, two to three rotations, and so you're you're you take the managerial stuff, the overcoaching stuff, the bullpen stuff completely out of it. That's that's how I like to bet it.

SPEAKER_03 8:41

You know what I did, and this feels like so Cia would never ever do this. He's too practical for this. Thorb might just be crazy enough to jump in on this with me. I mentioned this to D last night, and he's on board. So I started doing this two, three months left in the regular season last year, completely removing any and all strategy, just blind betting winning and losing streaks of at least three games until the wheels fall off the street. That's interesting. And believe it, and obviously, I tracked it. I wasn't just doing this for funsies before I jumped into it. I went back and I just picked five teams at random, you know, good teams, bad teams, whatever. I picked the Red Sox, the Dodgers, the White Sox, the Rays, like just random teams, and I looked at their schedules going back to the start of the regular season to see, okay, if I and I'll go back, I'll look at all their money line numbers, all that stuff. If I go back and I blind bet this team has won three in a row, I'm gonna keep with the winning streak until it ends. If it's lost three in a row, I'm gonna keep with the skid until it ends. If I blind bet this for just these individual teams, never mind the entire sport, every one of those situations, it was profitable. So I said, Okay, I'm gonna do this for all of baseball for the last two, three months of the season, and I did it, and I finished, and and then that's everything that's uh you know, it could be uh doesn't matter, like a team has won three straight games, you know, five straight games, and it's going up against uh you know Tarek School, and it's sitting there at plus 230 on the money line and has no business winning, whatever. I'm still gonna bet it. And occasionally those big plays actually came through. I finished up at the end of the year eight or nine units, 10 units, something like that, just over the course of a couple of months with no thought, no research, no again, it was just blind betting trends. And I'm gonna give it a go this year. Obviously, you can't jump in for at least a few days. You know, today's the first game of the year for most teams. You gotta wait a little bit until these streaks start to build up. But I'm gonna try it again and see how it goes.

SPEAKER_02 10:55

Thorb. I hate to date the show. I think that's a pretty good strategy. Hate to date the show, but uh the Mets start in like two minutes. So if you actually oh for the record, I would recommend the the pirates first five with skeins on the mount. Um yeah, first exactly, first five, which is like minus 120. That's how I would play it. Yeah, I've got that parlay. You guys are idiots. Do you really? Yeah, yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

We also love Charlotte and and uh in NB in the NBA and Thor lost the next Mets Nick's parlay. You guys lose all your money.

SPEAKER_03 11:22

I actually did so. You guys will appreciate this again, just fanfare. I was like, Oh, the Red Sox are about to open, I'm gonna do the all Boston parlay, and so it started yesterday. Celtics as slight dogs against the Thunder. Yep, pulled it out, Bruins as pretty decent dogs against the Sabres, won an overtime and carries me into Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox favored today in Cincinnati. It was a nine to one three legger. Wow, yeah. So normally, normally, I would probably sit here and be like, Well, I should just hedge and get some pro like guarantee myself some profit. But honestly, that's not in the spirit of the all Boston opening day parlay now, is it? We're letting it ride, we're letting it ride.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

That game starts at 410. I mean, truth is, you know, you could you could maybe live hedge it if you if you saw it going sideways a little bit, or if you thought it was going to go sideways, but yeah, I'd just take the nine to well, or better yet, the Red Sox get you know, get off to a two or three run lead, and then you get some serious plus money on Cincinnati. Oh, you want to hear something crazy? Yeah, always this this reminds again. This is not necessarily like just a betting show, but just so happens we opened with betting. Last night I'm up pretty late. I'm doing my golf stuff, sure, making sure my like DFS lineups are good, which by the way, they're not. Spoiler alert, not a good day for me so far. Uh, with that said, doing doing all that, like Wednesday night, I'm usually up pretty late because of golf. And I was watching the Rockets game. Remind me, who were they playing? They were on the road in Minnesota.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

Minnesota. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:50

And so Minnesota's, and I'm, you know, I'm always like watching the game and looking like, is there anything I can bet live? And so there wasn't, because Minnesota was kind of blowing Houston out. And then Houston goes on this incredible run to end the fourth quarter. And anybody who's listening or you know, later or watching now knows that they they went on, like, I don't know, it was like an 18-3 run to put it into overtime. And at that point, I and by the way, you know, Anthony Edwards wasn't playing, and Durant was really flashing like in regulation late in the game. So was Sangoon. Long story short, the line on Houston in overtime is minus 120 on the road. Again, no Anthony Edwards, they've got all the momentum. So I take it in a pretty big bet, not a full unit, but like close to a full unit. And I'm like, this is like easy. So they go up 13 points in overtime. Minnesota calls a timeout with about two minutes and 30 seconds left. And oh my, they closed the game on a 15 to zero run, and I lost. I was winning in overtime with two minutes and 30 seconds left by 13 points, and Minnesota came back and one.

SPEAKER_03 13:52

I saw that. I wish I could remember it. I'd look it up, but it was along the lines of it was the first time in NBA history a team had led by as many as 13 points in overtime and lost.

SPEAKER_02 14:03

As soon as the bet was over, that was my first thought. I was like, there's no way anybody had the time to build a 13-point lead and give it up. This had to be the only time. It was crazy. Incredible.

SPEAKER_05 14:15

Oh my god. I would have been so pissed.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Honestly, the the other thing was if for anybody that was watching that game, the officiating the officials just like swallowed the whistle for the entire overtime. It was like straight up wrestling out there, like the Rockets were getting pushed around, and like they were not calling anything, and then you know, Minnesota was just able to do whatever they wanted.

SPEAKER_03 14:37

Anyway, yeah, should we have a you know, I know we don't typically do this here on the show because again, people listen after the fact and all that, but we got I mean, we got like a thousand people that are here with us live. It is opening day. Should we have a parlay? Should we build out a show parlay of sorts?

SPEAKER_02 14:55

I I'm I'm down to do that because I actually so I have to leave the show a little early because I I have a a different MLB live betting show. So you know, I'm not like an MLB expert by any means, but I do have some ticks.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

Also, again, we got sweet 16. Like we can go cross sport, we don't need to just be baseball here.

SPEAKER_02 15:11

Can I tell you the bet I've already made? And and for the record, I kind of wish I had made the scheme's bet, but I didn't. Um it hasn't started yet.

SPEAKER_03 15:17

We still can.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Oh, I thought it started at 115.

SPEAKER_03 15:20

You know, well, it's you know how it goes with baseball.

SPEAKER_02 15:23

Oh, it's 118 technically, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

But they haven't started, they've introduced every freaking player. I have it on in front of me, they're introducing every player individually.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

You're right, it'll be off the board in 60 seconds. And and for the sake of the show, I'm gonna and I can I can jump in on that live. I can watch the bet. You can you could do it live, it can be part of the parlay, is what I'm saying. Either way, the the first bet that I've already made, it's the 210 game. So we got Shane Smith on the mound against Ms. Mizerowski. Yeah, first five under minus 130. The the number is four and a half. Okay, that's the first bet I've made. So we could let's let's start that as the first leg of the parlay.

SPEAKER_03 15:59

Okay, who's gonna do all the work and send it to I I can do it. I'm I'm fine with that.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

Yeah, if the chat has any any uh mlb plays, like so you want to let us you want to do first five under four and a half.

SPEAKER_03 16:09

You want to uh you're and you don't want to alt anything for protection, you're good with that.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Well, it's already kind of like because you can do the three and a half at plus one twenty-four. I think I just did the four minus one thirty is good enough. I like I'll take it.

SPEAKER_05 16:21

Hey, SPJ, fuck off in the chat.

SPEAKER_02 16:23

Oh, SPJ, Hornets Money Line.

SPEAKER_05 16:25

That's like an absolute no, it doesn't count, it's not even baseball. If everybody needs to take that, if we're gonna go your then Alvarez under 1.5 total basis. Oh Christ, you're gonna make me find that.

SPEAKER_03 16:39

Yeah, he's still on the asterisk.

SPEAKER_05 16:41

Why why that one? Just shut up about it. It's going to hit. I'm hot.

SPEAKER_03 16:46

I'm hot. He says this after Auberg plummeted on him the other day.

SPEAKER_02 16:50

But isn't Yordon like pretty great? Like, that's what I don't who gives a shit. All right, fair enough.

SPEAKER_03 16:55

Yeah, not today. Not today, he's not. Uh all right. I'm I'm I'm honestly I'm trying to find this player total bases, but it's only given me like two plus, three plus, four plus. It's not an over-under. You're doing it wrong. Where where are you at? I am uh I'm on FanDuel. I don't know if I'm allowed to say that, but I'm on I'm on that one.

SPEAKER_02 17:17

I didn't place it there. I feel like there's there's other platforms that might have have that. Starting with a with a it's gotta have it. Um it yeah, I placed it on the D one. We could skip over that one for now and just do Orioles money line. Ryan versus Rogers, Orioles, little bounce back season. Got feeling good about that against Joe Ryan. Well, Rogers was really good last year, and Orioles really beefed up their lineup. They got uh they got Thorbes guy, Pete Alonzo, among others, Gunnar Henderson action.

SPEAKER_03 17:52

Would you rather do Orioles money line, or would you rather do like Pete Alonzo two plus total bases? Nah, that guy's dead to me.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

Yeah, I would do Orioles Money Line. All right, crochet 10 plus K's plus 230 from Jeff Stenberg. Are they gonna leave him in long enough for him to get that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 18:09

Right. That's yeah, I'd I opened it. I'm not saying he can't do it, obviously, but I'm not gonna I I want to mix sports here, too. So we let's call the hoops. Do you have any tournament bets door? We got four games tonight. You guys are outright or just the futures, yeah, on Arizona and Iowa State.

SPEAKER_02 18:28

Iowa State's down like one of their best guys, so that's that's not looking quite as good.

SPEAKER_03 18:31

How about Houston money line?

SPEAKER_02 18:35

I mean, it makes sense. I don't I would rather not touch that game.

SPEAKER_03 18:40

I would say Arizona money line, you know, it's juice, but again, it's part of a parlay.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

Yeah, that's totally fair. Arizona money line. I don't see Arkansas winning that game.

SPEAKER_03 18:54

Purdue? You think Texas's run comes to an end or continues? It comes to an end. It dies. So Purdue.

SPEAKER_02 19:01

So we got that in there as well.

SPEAKER_03 19:04

Anything. And we get a nice NHL slate.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

Yuck.

SPEAKER_03 19:09

Alright, alright.

SPEAKER_02 19:12

I don't know how to do that. NHL. That's why I say yuck. I'm just I don't know what to do. Neither can I.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

Do we want to have anything uh in the NBA? Again, we've only got a few games. Charlotte.

SPEAKER_05 19:26

Hey, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 19:28

I mean, this is supposed to be a commute parlay. If one person is adamantly against a leg, what are we supposed to do there?

SPEAKER_02 19:34

Yeah, Charlotte, though. Nothing though. So what do we get you?

SPEAKER_03 19:43

Right now I got five. Hornets moneyline, Purdue moneyline, Arizona moneyline, Orioles moneyline, the under four and a half for the White Sox and Brewers. We also still have time to include the uh Skeens first five if we want.

SPEAKER_02 20:00

I say we throw that in there and call it a day. Oh, yeah, that's against the Mets too. Okay, so we don't have to do that. Well, what's up with Sadiq Bay as SPG?

SPEAKER_01 20:08

Your Mets can still win. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_03 20:14

Sadiq Bay. I'm just saying if we include the pirates' leg, that takes us up to 15 to 1.

SPEAKER_02 20:20

Look at Jeff Stenberg with a fastest pitch prop.

SPEAKER_05 20:24

I bet you guys do that, and then I switch it to Mets, and then I win.

SPEAKER_03 20:28

How about you want to get real frisky? And do I mean we can't do it with this game because it's getting going now, but you Here, we got red money line in the chat.

SPEAKER_05 20:37

Chalk that in there.

SPEAKER_03 20:38

Get out of here. What's a really good pitching matchup? Smith Mizarowski, Crochet Abbott, Scuble Pavetta's pretty good. I'm just looking to see if maybe there's a nerfy we could throw in. Oh Ivaldi Sanchez, Ryan Roger.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Uh, I would I wouldn't want to touch that actually. I think the uh the Brewers White Sox one's pretty good. We might not be able to parlay those together, though.

SPEAKER_03 21:05

Probably not.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

Take over Embiid says finish it off with Bronson Burgoon uh winner. Uh sweat till Sunday. He was one of my first round leaders at 150 to 1. He was actually doing really well, but I saw him in the water late in his round. Oh, he's two under T12 at the moment. How about that call? It's my only good call of the day.

SPEAKER_05 21:29

I don't think my first round leaders are getting there. I had Penge, but he's eh.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

Uh, I mean, he got he was close, but he I don't think he's gonna get there.

SPEAKER_05 21:36

I have each way on it, so I don't I don't even think that holds, to be honest.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

You know what I'm gonna throw? I'm gonna throw an afternoon guy as a first round leader right now, Adam Scott.

SPEAKER_03 21:45

Biz. It's probably like 60 to win.

SPEAKER_05 21:48

Tony Finao is gonna do that and then also win the tournament. Just want to let you know that. And everybody.

SPEAKER_03 21:55

How about Red Sox first five?

SPEAKER_05 21:58

Yeah, sure. Sure, it won.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

That'd be Red Sox for five, Hornets Purdue, Arizona, Orioles, and then the under in that Brewers White Sox game. That's six legs at 12 and a half to one.

SPEAKER_05 22:11

Send it on over.

SPEAKER_03 22:12

All right.

SPEAKER_05 22:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 22:14

I'm going to place it. I'm going to send it. If anyone wants to jump in, it starts in about 40 minutes.

SPEAKER_05 22:20

Yeah, and if anybody does want to know who's going to win the tournament this week, is he is Tony Fee now. He's going to win uh the Houston Open.

SPEAKER_02 22:27

Zero percent chance. Hey, uh, but there is there is a higher than zero percent chance, Thorb. I don't know if you do want to break this news right now. Are you are you potentially moving locations?

SPEAKER_03 22:37

I mean, he's done all of this on the show anyway. He may as well continue the story.

SPEAKER_05 22:42

Yeah, I mean, well, I also don't want to like officially say it, and then something happens that breaks through, but yeah, he should be moving to Miami within the next few months.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Schemes base hit, which is also breaking news.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

I mean scheme, I mean not scheme's Pittsburgh base hit. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 22:57

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 22:57

Well, schemes won't be batting.

SPEAKER_03 22:59

Yeah, which is a shame. All right, I sent it. It's the only hit they'll get today.

SPEAKER_02 23:03

If you were to move to South Florida, where would you where would you want to live? Do you know?

SPEAKER_05 23:09

I already know where I'm going. It'll be in Brick, it'll be in Brickle. Oh, Brickle.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

Have you been to Brickle before? Oh my gosh. So Brickle is like its own little city. It is, I mean, I don't know how many square, it's probably like one square mile. It's just it's it's a cool environment, but it is like it's it's it's it's a lot. So hopefully you won't be driving around a lot because it's kind of in the epicenter of a lot of like traffic and stuff. But you're fine. Brickle's like a really cool place. The one that's the one place in South Florida that I lived in Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas the whole time. But if I was going to live anywhere else for a couple of years and like just go back in time, it would be it would be there. That's good news. Yeah, home run pirates, two numbers. We should have jumped on this. You dick, you unbelievable dick.

SPEAKER_05 23:57

That's a good time to get in. If you like the Mets at uh minus 120, you're gonna love them at uh plus 300.

SPEAKER_03 24:04

Peralta hasn't gotten it out yet.

SPEAKER_02 24:07

Nope. Oh man, why didn't I bet that? That was silly.

SPEAKER_03 24:10

I told you to. I gave you I gave you 17 warnings that the game hasn't started yet. Totally on that, they're not gonna win. It doesn't matter, he wants the first five. He's not changing uh for a reload, and we've reloaded. What the hell is this?

SPEAKER_02 24:31

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

They've got one of those welding helmets on, that's their celebration thing.

SPEAKER_02 24:35

So here's the thing about baseball celebrations. Like, obviously, for a majority of time in major league baseball, like you're not allowed to celebrate. And then the last few years, they you know, the unwritten rules were relaxed a little bit. Thank goodness. Like, can we please have fun and celebrate our accomplishments? But now, anytime over the last three years, anytime somebody's gotten on base, you know how they do the like the move that everybody else is gonna do when they get on base. Is it me, or is that like the cheesiest thing of all time? Have we done have have we taken the celebration thing and like done it the wrong way?

SPEAKER_03 25:08

It it feels like a bit much sometimes, but also good lord, man. Like it's a it's a 162-game regular season with about 30 games before that in spring training. And then if you're lucky enough to play for another month plus in the postseason, like let these guys live a little bit. Like, they're what do they have 18 20 total off days the whole season? I mean, whatever floats your boat, you can need to you know, you double and get yourself to second base, and you got to give the dugout a thumbs up or you know, touch your yeah, but it's like I don't care, man.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

It comes off so cheesy, though. Like you can do so many other things to celebrate, which I would endorse. It comes off like remember back in the day, Adam.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

This is before the guy hit a home run, they put him in a shopping cart in the dugout.

SPEAKER_02 25:51

Adam, before this is before Thorb's time. Remember the Macarena? Yeah, remember like how cheesy the Macarena was? That's what I think of every time a like a baseball guy does like one of those celebrations on second or first base.

SPEAKER_03 26:03

It just is so cheesy to me. Does Thorb not remember the Macarena? He wasn't aware, even though you gotta know it, right?

SPEAKER_05 26:10

Yeah, I know what that thing is.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

Yeah, like aren't people until the end of time gonna know what gangnum style is? Yeah, I guess so.

SPEAKER_05 26:18

Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I think some some celebrations I would think of something really cool to do it second. I would think of something really cool. What would it be? Then everybody's gotta do it once they get on second, it's gotta be a team thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

Well, that's what they do now, it's just it's never cool. Like, I'm I'm all I'm allowed to do.

SPEAKER_05 26:34

That would make it really cool.

SPEAKER_03 26:35

I'd make it really, really cool. So, what would it be? Lame. Crazy fella, you should chug a homer or chug a beer after your homer. I like the bat flips. That would be awesome.

SPEAKER_02 26:51

We're staring at a home run. I love that stuff.

SPEAKER_03 26:54

Batflips are great. Yeah, pimp it, man. It's not easy to hit a home run. Exactly. I mean, some of these guys make it look pretty easy.

SPEAKER_05 27:02

I feel like it's way cooler if you just hit the home run and just get on your fucking way. You know what I mean? Like this was this was nothing to me. That's what I would do, but then still do something really cool as second, you know.

SPEAKER_02 27:14

Jazz chill second, the way Jazz around the bases is really cool. I'm totally down with that. Act like you know, the basketball stuff, the Eurostep stuff. That stuff is really cool to me.

SPEAKER_05 27:26

Do you guys like baseball? Like, you know, I love baseball. You love baseball, huh? I love baseball. What's up with that?

SPEAKER_03 27:33

Yeah, why? I it's it's relaxing.

SPEAKER_02 27:37

It's a fun, that's true.

SPEAKER_03 27:39

It's a fun activity to go and attend, and you know that you know you're gonna hang out for a few hours, and it's it's social, it's you don't need to be like locked dialed into every single moment of the game, you know. Why would you be? Yeah, you're not making the argument for baseball, by the way. No, but it's just like it's a you don't even have to watch it, yeah. No, it's like a it's a fun, easy thing to do that again, like it like passes the time on a beautiful day and you're surrounded by people. It's like I mean, I I could like get into the nuances of the sport and what I love about it, but that's not what you're looking for here. So I'm trying to sell the environment a little bit to you.

SPEAKER_05 28:20

Yeah, I mean, I can't really talk that much. My favorite sport to enjoy is golf.

SPEAKER_03 28:23

So, um, yeah, I mean, it's really not that different if you're just sort of I'm not talking about the sports, but just sort of the all that kind of comes around it in terms of whether or not you enjoy watching it. They're both slow, potentially painfully boring events.

SPEAKER_02 28:40

Yeah, I will say that I wasn't as into golf until I discovered betting on golf, and then I became like super into golf. So it and I I kind of feel the same way about baseball. Like, I you know, like baseball's fine, but like betting on baseball to me is so it raised so if I think baseball is like a three out of ten, let's just say I think that betting on baseball raises it to like an eight or a nine. I already think the NFL, for example, or like basketball college basketball is already like a seven or an eight. So betting on it doesn't enhance the experience quite as much. The the the gap there isn't quite as big, and which is why betting on like golf and baseball is just so alluring to me because I I might not otherwise be watching it quite as much.

SPEAKER_05 29:22

It's like the betting component is really I don't think I'd watch golf probably until like Sunday if yeah I wasn't betting on it, but like betting on it raises it to like a 10 for me. I don't think it's a better thing to bet on.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

Yeah, yeah, 100% agree. Anytime that you have a financial stake in anything, you're automatically gonna be more locked into it.

SPEAKER_02 29:40

Yeah, but again, the the difference, the gap there in some of the quote slower, uh more boring sports, it's it's so much more enhanced than sports that are already extremely exciting. Like, I'm gonna probably watch an NFL game regardless. Um it might not be as exciting if I don't have a DFS lineup in or or or money on it, but I'm still gonna be watching it. I don't know that I can say the same about every other sport.

SPEAKER_03 30:03

That's fair. Did you watch the World Series last year? I mean, just as the sports fan that you are.

SPEAKER_02 30:09

Well, I had money on it, but yeah, I well, I mean, it was incredibly exciting. That's the thing about playoffs in any in any major sport. That's why remember like a month ago, you were like, Oh, I don't think the NBA product in the playoffs is is much different than the regular season. I literally told you that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard because I think it's I I understand that, but but I I think it's so different. The the level of intensity, just the knowledge that you're gonna get everybody's best effort, that you you can feel like the just watching on TV, feel that it's a completely different product. And so I, you know, that's that's just the the big difference with playoffs in general. Same with the NHL. You feel that environment in the playoffs in the NHL that you don't necessarily feel in the regular season.

SPEAKER_03 30:48

All right, but what you're saying, and look, I I mean, I've I've been to a lot of playoff games. I used to have Celtic season tickets, I've been to the finals. Like, I'm not just thank you. I'm not disagreeing with with what you're talking about, sort of at its core, but I think the things that you're heightening here are related more so to the fan energy and what is happening around the actual product, the actual product on the floor.

SPEAKER_02 31:14

See, mucho see 10 out of 10 will say what I'm saying. People that hear your tank are gonna be like, you don't watch regular season NBA. They're like you, they must they're gonna be like, You must not watch regular season NBA if you think it's a similar product.

SPEAKER_03 31:28

I mean, how did you feel about when the games were in the bubble back during the height of COVID? Uh, they were okay. Was that they were okay with basketball when it got to the playoffs? It's it was a little different. That's a very that's a dramatic example. Yeah, it's like just logical. Talking about what's happening on the floor, it was still really exciting to watch.

SPEAKER_02 31:46

All the cardboard cutouts are real people out of it. It was still really exciting to watch. I I watched all those Miami Heat games, like they were like the underdog in a lot of those playoff rounds. Jimmy Butler exhausted. I thought it was super exciting, honestly.

SPEAKER_05 31:59

Yeah, I mean, some of the when the Mets made a run back in the old day of when I was in college, it was some of the best TV experience of my days, you know what I mean? And uh, and then I'm not sitting down, I'm not even gonna watch this Met game today. I don't give a shit. So, but like hell there are two nothing.

SPEAKER_03 32:16

Why bother? Season's over.

SPEAKER_05 32:18

Well, now actually, now I'm pretty heavily invested after the double down, so you know we'll see. What number did you get on that? Uh 200. All right.

SPEAKER_02 32:27

Lynn Dor just not enough. Lynn Dor just drew a walk. So you got a man on, nobody else. Use that abs challenge it. I got outside, too. He's going yard. It was just outside. Great pitch, though.

SPEAKER_03 32:40

Thanks. Great pitcher. Do you see that Livby his uh his lady is part of the new Baywatch reboot?

SPEAKER_05 32:46

I don't know anything that anybody does.

SPEAKER_02 32:48

I don't either. I don't tell you what's his what's his wife's or girlfriend's name?

SPEAKER_05 32:53

Libby Dunn, the uh she's the she's flexible lady, the gymnast?

SPEAKER_03 32:58

Oh, the gymnast, yeah, an LSU, right? Yeah, she's she's quite popular.

SPEAKER_05 33:04

People like her a lot.

SPEAKER_03 33:05

Yeah, I mean, yeah, she is going to be uh on the new Baywat. How many reboots has Baywatch done? At least two, right? Is it I don't think so. I think this is the first. Now there have been one or two movies.

SPEAKER_05 33:20

Now, doesn't she not have I don't think I don't think the new Baywatch TV show came around. What's that about up top? Doesn't she not have enough up top to be on Baywatch? You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 33:31

Yeah, there that was a thing in the original show.

SPEAKER_03 33:32

Do you remember the original Baywatch? They weren't all Pam Anderson.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

Yeah, but everybody remembers Pam Anderson, I think.

SPEAKER_05 33:40

That's a really old thing. You guys are going way back. Pam Anderson. Well, yeah, I mean that is going way back. Original 80s for sure.

SPEAKER_03 33:49

Yeah, but I mean, who doesn't know Pam Anderson?

SPEAKER_05 33:54

I mean, sure I do, but I just I'm not reminis reminiscing upon her. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 33:59

Stifler, look at see her pretending his laptop isn't infected with Libby Dunn spam.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

I I will tell you that uh this is this laptop is very important. There would be no Libby Dunn spam on here.

SPEAKER_05 34:12

It's an important laptop. He's got a burner laptop for the other stuff.

SPEAKER_02 34:16

Yeah, that's that's that's incognito windows. That's iPod material or iPad material, I should say.

SPEAKER_03 34:22

Hey, this has been a popular topic on the network the last couple of days. How do you guys feel about raw dogging?

SPEAKER_05 34:28

Yeah, but like, all right, so what are we really talking about? I feel like this is a catch.

SPEAKER_02 34:33

Put it in a sentence, yeah. Country of origin.

SPEAKER_03 34:37

I mean, that's pretty much the reaction. One big fan. Yeah, that's that's pretty much the reaction I had when I was asked as well. Uh I didn't know that that raw dogging apparently is uh slang for just like if you were raw dogging on a flight, what would that mean to you? No shoes.

SPEAKER_05 34:58

Well, uh it means a way different thing to me, but um sure, I think that's a good guess, though.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

No luggage, no luggage.

SPEAKER_05 35:07

Oh, you just travel like solo, yeah. No, no, but but he's saying on a plane, like meaning you can also raw dog other places, right?

SPEAKER_03 35:14

No, you can raw dog anywhere on the plane that you want. It doesn't make a difference, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 35:19

But can you raw dog not on a plane?

SPEAKER_03 35:22

Sure, you could raw dog anywhere, you could raw dog while you're driving a car.

SPEAKER_05 35:26

I know what it is, you got no undies on. That's no, no, no, no, no. That's not it.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

Okay, I just want everybody that that's listening to the podcast or watching the show to know that Alex, our producer in the background, is laughing uncontrollably, hyperventilating from knowing that me and Thorb have no idea what's going on.

SPEAKER_03 35:42

No, I know what raw dogging is.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

I know clearly not what he's asking, Thorb.

SPEAKER_03 35:47

Uh, raw dogging, uh, you know what? I'm not afraid to Google on my computer what is raw dogging, and raw dogging is slaying for doing a task, particularly a long or mundane one, without any distractions, preparation, or tools for comfort. So if you were raw dogging on a flight, for instance, that just means kids do this just looking straight ahead, no devices, you're not watching a movie, you are just just lazy.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

That was the Google explanation.

SPEAKER_03 36:15

That's the Google explanation for raw dogging, stunned by that, right?

SPEAKER_05 36:18

So, what's the urban dictionary deck uh definition?

SPEAKER_03 36:21

I know that one, I'm not looking it up.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

Okay, so why would why would anybody like why why is that a question? Like in this day and age, we don't really do that, right?

SPEAKER_05 36:31

For content, so like people will go on planes. I think I saw like a TikTok or something where this chick's like, I'm just raw dogging this flight, and then she's just fucking sitting there. Oh, just like staring. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. It's kind of funny.

SPEAKER_03 36:40

It's a content thing. Like people, you know, like Google hit you with the people also ask, What are the rules of raw dogging? Right, right, right. That means raw dogging a flight means spending your journey just staring at the seat in front of you, or if you're lucky, if you're lucky, an in-flight map. No music, no films, snacks, or drinks in its most hardcore form, no bathroom breaks.

SPEAKER_02 37:08

Well, you shouldn't be taking a bathroom a break on an airplane anyway.

SPEAKER_03 37:11

You gotta went to the bathroom to Rawdog. It's 2-1, Thorb. The med score, yeah. No shit, they did.

SPEAKER_01 37:18

Yeah, it's only one out, one on. This is a simple game, buddy. Um, but it would be fun. You don't go to the bathroom on an airplane, see ya. Why would I go to the bathroom? I'm not a child, like it's a three-hour flight, a two-hour flight, a five-hour flight.

SPEAKER_04 37:35

Eight hours.

SPEAKER_03 37:36

What if you have to go to the bathroom? You have to go to the bathroom, dude. That's all right. You just hold it. We got another insane thing.

SPEAKER_02 37:41

Okay, first of all, if it's an eight-hour flight, I think that's a different conversation. Most people take flights that are five hours or less. The national flights are typically five hours or less, even if you're going all the way to the west coast from the east coast. In those cases, I will not have to go to the bathroom because I make sure that my water intake is such that I don't have to get up and go. And usually I'm on a window seat, so I don't want to bother the two people to my left or the two people to my right.

SPEAKER_03 38:04

What if you have a bellyache and you need to use the facilities?

SPEAKER_02 38:08

Yeah, sorry, buddy. I I'm like, I'm not a I'm not three years old. Like, I've got a stomach, guys. Yeah, I yeah. Ever since he was a child, he's never just had to go to the bathroom at a time. These questions are like silly because it's like the COVID thing. Yeah, of course, in case of an emergency, I'd have to go to the bathroom. But generally speaking, you should plan your intake so that you don't have to go to the bathroom. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you because I was still talking. What did you say?

SPEAKER_03 38:37

Have you never pulled off the highway to use a gas station restroom?

SPEAKER_02 38:41

Of course, I have. That's totally different. I'm talking about being mindful of the people that are sitting next to me and not having to get up and like go to a bathroom and have to wait in a line potentially.

SPEAKER_03 38:50

All right, but you're completely confusing the initial question. Like, yeah, of course, you would attempt to strategically not use the bathroom on a plane. I don't think anyone desires using an airplane bathroom.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

People who use the bathroom on a plane on any sort of routine basis are not planning their intake in properly. There is nobody said routine. Well, okay, so how often out of out of 10 flights, how often do you go to the bathroom on a plane? Let's assume it's a three-hour uh flight. I don't know, two or three.

SPEAKER_01 39:21

That's two or three too many. That's two or three too many.

SPEAKER_05 39:24

So see what C is saying is he's doing some sort of on-purpose dehydration, which I totally do as well. Because he's he's saying he's not he's just throwing his mic around the place, so he's not drinking the amount of like fluid in order to prepare for the flight, which I totally do. I do as well.

SPEAKER_02 39:44

I drink them, but I don't have gallons or liters of water beforehand. I can still drink on the plane and not have to go to the bathroom within a two and a half hour span.

SPEAKER_05 39:52

I avoid this entirely.

SPEAKER_01 39:53

It's common sense to me.

SPEAKER_05 39:54

I can't believe this is like a crazy take. I get an aisle seat every time, so I can do whatever the hell I can do. Okay, that's different. That's different. I don't do the aisle, you don't do the window. So you're so you're you're dehydrating yourself for no reason.

SPEAKER_02 40:06

Well, I love the window because I can lean, I can lean up against it. That's what in the aisle, you get you get hit.

SPEAKER_05 40:11

I got a cool neck pillow that just wraps around you like I'm not that guy. You're a door, yeah. Don't do the neck pillow.

SPEAKER_02 40:19

Cool one. No, I'm it's a no to the neck pillow, unless I'm flying to Australia.

SPEAKER_05 40:25

This guy would rather have a full bladder and be uncomfortable as shit.

SPEAKER_02 40:28

Well, I don't I I've got my devices, I'm doing stuff.

SPEAKER_03 40:32

I would have bet a mortgage payment that Thorb was an airplane pillow guy.

SPEAKER_05 40:36

I like to be comfy, dude. I fucking love comfort.

SPEAKER_03 40:40

Do you walk around with it around your neck in the airport, too?

SPEAKER_05 40:43

No, this is a whole different thing, dude. This is not we this is not a pillow, it's like a fucking like locks you in, so you're not even leaning. No, no, no, no. It's it's it's like a wrap, it's like a wrap, but it also it's got like this little plastic piece, so you like don't even move your head so you don't hurt your neck.

SPEAKER_02 41:00

Okay, next time you fly, you have to take a selfie because this is already hilarious.

SPEAKER_05 41:05

Do you already got one ready? Yeah, I well I I would love to see that picture. I don't know where it is, dude. I don't know where it is. Don't make me find it.

SPEAKER_03 41:13

Maybe we're gonna go to Miami.

SPEAKER_05 41:15

Yeah, yeah, true. Actually, I probably gotta drive there to bring all my shit, but I'll wear it in the car.

SPEAKER_03 41:20

I'll show you. Jeff Stiffler says, business class or nothing. I won't sit with the pores.

unknown 41:26

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_03 41:28

That's what I'm talking about. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:30

Adam looks like he flies frontier.

SPEAKER_03 41:32

Uh, that's pretty funny. Just for just to use the I I will take a flight just to use the bathroom.

SPEAKER_02 41:39

Do you guys have a favorite airline that you fly? Because I do.

SPEAKER_03 41:44

Not really. I mean, I I guess I target jet blue, but it doesn't have to be jet blue. I target jet blue.

SPEAKER_05 41:51

I'm cool with like all the main ones, I just won't go down to the spirit frontier type level. Um, but also wait. So see, you've never had like a couple beers in the airport before you get on a plane.

SPEAKER_02 42:01

I don't I don't drink uh at the airport.

SPEAKER_03 42:04

Oh, see, I think the people like I haven't done that in I had to upgrade my seat beer are dumb.

SPEAKER_05 42:11

No, it's awesome, it's a vibe there. Why? Why? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 42:15

Do you I just meet guys that just like you can do you can go to bars for that?

SPEAKER_05 42:21

No, dude. There's you always meet somebody that's like somehow like in your space or like that knows something, and then it's weird things. I I I was talking to this guy where both where both of his kids like listen to my music, it was sick, and like that just happens at airports, man. It's it's a good vibe, it's a good vibe, and like what the fuck else are you gonna do? You're gonna sit there for two hours like an asshole, just waiting for your plane. That's stupid. Have a little fun, and then realize that hey, maybe you had a little too much, and then then realize maybe I gotta change my window seat to an aisle seat, so now I can go to go piss seven times on the phone. And these are all the things that happen to me.

SPEAKER_03 42:55

See and I have kids, we don't have fun at the airport. Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:59

You guys well, I I still get to go to the airport solo a decent amount, and I always get there early, but I just never think to drink. I'll I'll like do something on my phone, or I might have something loaded up, like a show or something on my iPad or something.

SPEAKER_05 43:12

Yeah, it's so boring, man.

SPEAKER_02 43:14

It is it is kind of boring. I I don't like the dehydration feeling when I'm in the air, especially since I don't drink water while I'm flying. It's just it's not gonna work out for me.

SPEAKER_05 43:23

You just keep it rolling on the plane, theoretically. You know what I mean? You ever think about that? Could be fun, could be fun. You never know, you never know sitting next to you, too.

SPEAKER_02 43:32

Could be how many people do you guys see getting arrested on planes though, nowadays? Seems to be happening a lot. Seems to be happening a lot, half of them have to be intoxicated, like in person.

SPEAKER_03 43:44

No, I can't say I've really witnessed it in person. Oh no, not in personal media.

SPEAKER_05 43:49

Uh yeah, it happened I'm not I'm not too hip about that. I don't I haven't seen many people arrested on plane videos.

SPEAKER_02 43:56

I feel like it doesn't take much to like you could just like say the wrong thing. And you might get kicked off the plane, depending on who the crowd is.

SPEAKER_00 44:05

That's true.

SPEAKER_05 44:08

Yeah, my plane got held up at the airport for over two hours because somebody had like a peanut allergy or something. They take those things very seriously. Dude, it was the worst, man. I was like, just kick her off the plane. Get her out of my face. Like it was so bad. Oh, that was the worst. Get out of here.

SPEAKER_03 44:33

Are the Mets winning yet? So all schemes has kind of sucked today.

SPEAKER_02 44:40

So it's a it's a two-in-one count. Oh no, it's not. It's 0-1, and it's a two-to-one game. Base is loaded, one out.

SPEAKER_05 44:47

Yeah, they're at 4-2. So whatever happens, take that, suck us. Did anybody just hear what I said?

SPEAKER_03 44:55

Get ready.

SPEAKER_02 44:56

Wait, it is 4-2. You're ahead. I just had to check my phone. Oh no, I'm oh shit. Oh, he just flew it over the center fielder's head by a good amount. Uh O'Neill's head.

SPEAKER_05 45:07

Cruz playing in there was a choice. Quite literally the easiest bet I've ever made. I told you to not fuck with me right now, and you guys are all fucking with me.

SPEAKER_02 45:14

Oh man. Well, we have the Hornets tonight, so now I'm not feeling quite as good about it.

SPEAKER_03 45:19

Yeah, well, I mean I only have them as part of a parlay. I don't uh I don't have the straight as of right now.

SPEAKER_02 45:25

Yeah, I have I have two bets on the Hornets tonight, actually.

SPEAKER_03 45:28

There's two L's. Yeah, it might be. This isn't the Paul Skeens that we signed up for.

SPEAKER_02 45:33

Four runs in the bottom of the first, and he's only got one out.

SPEAKER_03 45:37

Isn't there a guy in third, too?

SPEAKER_02 45:39

Yes, there's a guy on third, which so it's probably gonna be five to two by the end of this inning. And Skeens will probably leave the game.

SPEAKER_03 45:45

Hopefully, people play the under on his strikeouts. Yeah, this is girl.

SPEAKER_05 45:51

Gotcha said, Baywatch is gonna suck too.

SPEAKER_02 45:57

It's five to two. Error on O'Neil Cruz, man on second, five to two. This is crazy, guys.

SPEAKER_03 46:04

I'd like to apologize for suggesting a show parlay.

SPEAKER_02 46:07

I am I am so happy that I stalled on Betting Skeen's first five.

SPEAKER_05 46:12

Yeah, yeah. I told you not to fuck with me, and you keep that with me, too.

SPEAKER_03 46:16

Oh, wait, never mind. The show I forgot. We didn't we didn't include that way. Yeah, the first bet was the two tenants.

SPEAKER_05 46:21

Because of me, you're welcome.

SPEAKER_03 46:23

Yeah, it's true. It is true. But but but the hornets are in there, so wait, you're in there?

SPEAKER_01 46:28

Hornets are gonna win by 15. They're gonna win by 15. No, they're not. Yes, they are simply not. 116 to 101. Look at him typing it up. Nice work.

SPEAKER_02 46:39

Is your final in that one?

SPEAKER_03 46:40

I can't believe it's five to fucking two.

SPEAKER_05 46:43

Yeah, it's really simple.

SPEAKER_03 46:46

I mean, I did build on my own another lay involving that pirates first five, and you never want to see the opening day parlay lose on the first leg. You just don't want to see that happen.

SPEAKER_02 46:58

It's a long season.

SPEAKER_05 46:59

If Paul Screen, if Paul Screen's and the Mets are favored, you know the Mets are gonna win. Okay, it's a simple game, it's a real simple game we're playing here.

SPEAKER_02 47:09

O'Neill Cruz basically committed back-to-back errors. The first one didn't count as one, but the the the shot that made it four to two, he he yeah, the plate and it went over his head, and then it was like a routine fly ball that on the next one that the sun was apparently in his eyes, and he just didn't catch it.

SPEAKER_05 47:25

What do you think I'm doing with the money I won this month? I give it right to him. This game sucks so far.

SPEAKER_02 47:31

Um, guys, I I gotta go because I by the way, I think this is like even though it does date the show a little bit, I do think that because we're on during the day, that we can like quickly build a like a quick parlay every time we jump on, like especially with like day baseball, if it's on or whatnot. So I think that's a good, uh, like a fun two-minute detour we can take every uh every episode. Everybody go download the show. Uh, you guys, you guys are sticking around, but um, yeah, we can hang out for another few minutes.

SPEAKER_05 47:58

Yeah, stifler, give me give me your Luke Littler uh bet here. He wants me to ride his his dart bet. I would love that.

SPEAKER_02 48:04

He bets a lot of darts, he legitimately does.

SPEAKER_03 48:08

Stifler really has some feelings about people. Peanut allergy people aren't as bad as the gluten people, they're the worst. You know, some people do have allergies.

SPEAKER_02 48:19

Like, is he is he talking about allergies? You're a bit like choice, but but is he talking about gluten allergies, or is he talking about people who just are like, Oh, I don't eat gluten?

SPEAKER_03 48:31

Because like I almost feel like he's talking about Matt Damon giving up gluten just to get in better shape, that kind of thing.

SPEAKER_02 48:36

Yeah, like the you know, the people who throw in your face that they're like vegan or whatever, and it's like okay, that's cool, but like I'm not.

SPEAKER_03 48:43

Yeah, I mean, that's that that's fair. I'm okay with that. I won't judge people around something out of necessity. Jesus, skins is getting is he is he getting he's out two-thirds of an inning pulled in the first inning.

SPEAKER_02 48:57

His ERA right now. Hold on, can I get an update on his ERA before I get out of here?

SPEAKER_03 49:01

Is this a good time to bet Paul Skeens Cy Young? Probably, yeah. Wow, from Aaron Judge striking out 750,000 times last night to Paul Skeens getting lit up in the first inning.

SPEAKER_02 49:17

Skeens had a a 1.97 ERA last last season, and he's gonna start the season off. I don't even know what the number is, but somebody could probably tell us.

SPEAKER_03 49:27

I'll tell you, I'll look it up quick. That's outrageous. Paul Skeens ERA is it 67 and a half?

SPEAKER_02 49:35

Is that true? That can't be true.

SPEAKER_03 49:37

It is 67 and a half.

SPEAKER_02 49:39

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 49:41

I mean, five runs, all earned two-thirds of an inning.

SPEAKER_02 49:44

He gets to see that next to his name until his next start.

SPEAKER_03 49:47

That's yeah, he's gonna stare at that for five days.

SPEAKER_02 49:50

That is crazy. All right, uh, gentlemen, have fun. Uh, the rest of uh the show. I'm out of here. See you guys next day at one o'clock.

SPEAKER_03 49:58

Are you changing your shirt for your other show? I am I am, I am gonna share.

SPEAKER_02 50:02

I've already know me, I've got it all planned out.

SPEAKER_03 50:04

I know. I was just hoping you'd rep no plays off on the MLB show.

SPEAKER_02 50:08

Well, um, I you know I could, but I'm I'm not. I've got a I've got a yellow, yeah. It's it's themed out. I've got yellow because it's opening day and it's bright and summer.

SPEAKER_05 50:19

Stiffler said not to do it. You're gonna listen to him or not? I just tell you.

SPEAKER_02 50:24

Stiffler's gonna duck into that show, too.

SPEAKER_05 50:26

Yeah, that's that's Jeff. Yeah, I placed the stiffler, by the way. Huh? I'm in. I'm in as Luke Littler. I got a minus 134. Is that okay? That's fine. It's good enough.

SPEAKER_03 50:36

Stiffler, I'm talking about the non-celiac gluten assholes. Just eat the bread, dick. Oh, that's amazing. I love bread, it's a it's a real weakness for me.

SPEAKER_02 50:50

Oh, bread is it's it's hard to give up bread and pasta. It really is.

SPEAKER_03 50:53

I could give up pasta if I really had to, but I'd have to walk away from bread.

SPEAKER_02 50:57

No, I agree with you. Pasta, much easier to give up.

SPEAKER_05 51:00

Bread almost which way are you consuming bread?

SPEAKER_03 51:02

Just bread, just well, like sandwiches and yeah, sandwiches. Oh, I I could sit and eat a loaf of bread. I mean, not in one sitting, but like I don't, it doesn't need to be all dolled up in a sandwich, I just enjoy bread. You guys like sourdough nibblers? What's a nibbler? That like raw dogging?

SPEAKER_05 51:21

You guys have never had some nibblers?

SPEAKER_02 51:23

I don't I've never heard of that.

SPEAKER_05 51:25

They're the best kind of pretzels. Are you guys?

SPEAKER_02 51:29

I'm not a pretzels guy. I feel like pretzels are a waste of a chip. A waste of a chip.

SPEAKER_05 51:34

Yeah, I love it because you nod your head anymore. Like you know what a sourdough nibbler is.

SPEAKER_03 51:38

We need to be able to do a snack bracket. Where do pretzels fall? What seed is is is a pretzel? It's a double-digit seed to me.

SPEAKER_02 51:45

It's like an 11. I love a pretzel.

SPEAKER_01 51:47

I love a pretzel.

SPEAKER_02 51:48

Pretzels are boring. Unless it's from Aunt Annie's and soft and sugary. I'm I'm out. Speaking about hey, we'll we'll rank snacks next week. We'll we'll definitely rank snacks uh next week. Uh all right, we'll see you.

SPEAKER_05 52:01

See ya. See ya. I see you. See you.

SPEAKER_03 52:02

I think Matt's gonna keep scoring because that would be kind of annoying. They got two guys on with the two out. I mean, it'd be great for you. Yeah, not so awesome for others of us that are still hoping to hit a Pittsburgh first five. I'd settle for a void just to keep the lay alive. Well, I'll tell you what, you're not gonna get it.

SPEAKER_05 52:20

So hurtful. Just saying, you can't you can't go against me right now. Something weird is happening.

SPEAKER_03 52:27

He's too hot. How did I mean I you can divulge whatever specifics you want to, but obviously, you showed us you've had a great March. How did March compare to January and February? Like, what has this year looked like for you?

SPEAKER_05 52:41

Um should I just should I say the exact numbers or is that too much?

SPEAKER_03 52:46

It's your m your money, your data. It's up to you.

SPEAKER_05 52:48

All right, now keep in mind this is not this is not a regular thing, you know. This is not it's not things that typically happen. I'll get the exact number on the year, okay. Um, but it's more than what I showed you.

SPEAKER_03 53:00

Obviously. Um well, I would hope it's more because otherwise you're down the other.

SPEAKER_05 53:05

Yeah, but you can't expect me to win every month. All right, I am up 14.5 this this year. Okay. So three months.

SPEAKER_03 53:13

This is doll hairs, not units or something like that.

SPEAKER_05 53:16

I don't do the whole unit thing. My unit goes all over the fucking place. I'm not gonna stay consistent with a unit again. I like the Mets, I'm doubling up. You know what I mean? When they go down two none, I'm doubling up.

SPEAKER_03 53:28

Were you were you on so you were on them pregame and then you got in the plus 200? That is correct. Okay, yeah, seems good. They're uh now minus 900. Seems good. Minus 900. Wow, that flipped in a hurry. That's one inning. So, what's Pittsburgh if you wanted to jump in? Let me see.

SPEAKER_05 53:46

Pittsburgh is oh, I'm on darts. Uh in that range. Five uh uh 560. 560. That's her now minus a thousand.

SPEAKER_03 53:59

Uh I mean you could guarantee yourself profit if you didn't want to just let it ride.

SPEAKER_05 54:04

Think about me.

SPEAKER_03 54:05

I ain't no bitch.

SPEAKER_05 54:06

Well, actually, I am a bitch, but I currently with how my month is going, I don't care what happens. I'll I'll let that ride. Don't tempt the fates. Yeah, no, yeah, we just gotta let that ride. Uh it's gonna be very funny if the Knicks beat the shit out of Sharp. That'd be that'd be nice because you guys are all all against me on that.

SPEAKER_03 54:24

I don't even have a strong feeling on that game. I was just sort of joining the party, like SPJ and and Cia both wanted so badly to take the hornets against you. I was like, all right, I'll go against Thorb, sure.

SPEAKER_05 54:36

Well, to be fair, I was never on the Knicks, I just did it out of spite for you guys all going against my team. But now that I have touched the Knicks, they will now be blessed. Yeah, they're blessed, they're blessed. Hashtag blessed. Yeah, I I can do no wrong as of this moment.

SPEAKER_03 54:53

How is this golf tournament treating you early on?

SPEAKER_05 54:56

Um, it's uh I'd like one guy do well so far, but it's it's too early. Um, I don't think I'm gonna get a thousand bucks on a first-round leader though. This how invested are you? Not money, I mean like how many different plays do you have? I have way too many golfers, way too many. I um because the lines dropped Sunday, and I was like, I was drinking a little bit at my friend's gender reveal party. As one does, as one does, and boy, I did I click too many names. You know, I clicked way too many names, and then I then I checked on Monday. I was like, this is just this is just way too many people, and then I was like, Well, I'm up, so I'll just let them all rock, and then just hopefully hit one of them. So that's I I might have bet 13 golfers this week.

SPEAKER_03 55:42

How do you without kids feel about a gender reveal party?

SPEAKER_05 55:48

Uh dumbest shit ever. Actually, I hope my hey, if you're listening to this, Brody, just kidding.

SPEAKER_01 55:56

But he's not, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 55:58

Uh I well, I hate all of it, you know what I mean? Since I'm not in into any of that, you know, at the moment. I just don't like it.

SPEAKER_03 56:06

Even if you were, your feelings about it probably aren't gonna change all that much.

SPEAKER_05 56:10

Yeah, like would I do it? Fuck no, right. But um, would you know some woman that's lucky enough to to date my dumbass do it? Want to do it? Probably. So then would I do it? Maybe. Would I try not to? Yes. So I don't know. Did you ever do one of those things back in your like old ages?

SPEAKER_03 56:28

Back in my old ages. Uh no, uh, I'm I'm also not not only am I I don't want to say against, but not in favor of gender reveal parties. Uh, we we have three kids, and in every case, didn't even find out what we were having, like just the two of us, let alone like like some people will do the like, all right, we're we're gonna find out and tell the world gender reveal party, or we're gonna like we're gonna find out just the two of us, and maybe we'll tell our parents, but like for everyone else is gonna be a surprise. That thing I think is kind of lame. That's a weird in-between, and then there's the increasingly rare. How about we just be fucking surprised? And that's what my wife and I felt strongly about doing. Uh, we in in all three cases we found out when when the doctor, you know, simbed the kid up into the air, and we I feel like that's awesome. Is you know, well, here's the here's the only part of it that's i mean, it's entirely awesome, and I because again, I'm of the mind that like there are just so few like good surprises in life. Let's have one, right? Right, and so do that three times over. The only part that's weird is you want to know, obviously, unless the doctor, you know, receives the baby and it's like it's a boy, it's a girl, like you know, in our in our cases, for whatever reason, the doctor, you know, takes the and just lifts the baby up for us to find out. Not there was no like verbal confirmation. So the first thing, like, before you even look at the kid's face, I feel like you're immediately like dick or no dick. Yeah, like immediately it's to the private section to see what is it? What are we what did we just do? What do we have? Like, that's that's a weird first image of your child, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 58:20

But I don't know, I feel like that's the most natural way to go about it. Like, yeah, like you want to know supposed to know, I guess. Like, like, but we just have the science for that. Yeah, but see, now, as a man with no kids, is it an advantage to know, like, hey, I'm having a boy or I'm having a girl? Like, do you do like need a prep in a certain way?

SPEAKER_03 58:47

Well, so that's what people say, and that I think is the dumbest in the world, right? I have a friend of mine who feels very strongly about finding out what you're having to the point where he's one of those, like, you know, those those door-to-door, like like you know, the the people that you'll I don't even know what to call them, the the the you know what I'm talking about, like the the the the crazy, like you know, bible people that you'll be walking around there and they're they're shoving their beliefs down your throats, right? Yeah, uh well, them or anyone else that you might just encounter on the street, but sure, we'll we'll just go with those. The um it's a great coming soon to the game show network. Um, so these uh it's like he's like one of these people that will just like he feels a certain way, and this is about anything, and he will try and shove that same belief down your throat. And he very strongly that you should like, yeah, you find out what you're having. Like, why in the world would you ever be surprised? And I said, Okay, why? Like, what's the why do I need to find out? He's like, Because you gotta get ready. What do you mean, get ready? So, you gotta get the you gotta get the room ready, you gotta paint the walls, you so I can do gender-neutral colors, I can paint it yellow. Like, it doesn't need to be a blue room or a pink room, or what you know what I mean. Like, I don't need to go. I sure I don't need to go get a full wardrobe for the baby, I could just get a couple of onesies. In fact, I could get a boy onesie and a girl onesie if I don't want to be gender neutral, and then whichever way it goes, I'm prepared and I can return to the other one to the store. Like, I don't know why I have to find out. I think that's asinine.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:32

Yeah, because I was thinking like clothes and whatnot and stuff, but then you just kind of proved that wrong. So now, yeah, who who cares? Who cares? I think I would rather do it your way. I don't know. I'm not probably not having a goddamn, you'll find out.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:47

You know, you think I will? I think you will, yeah. You're still a young, young buck, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:54

If I if I have a kid in the next three years, just know it was a it was a mistake. It was unplanned. Yeah, this was not in the cards. Those damn kids, they're not for me right now, you know what I mean. I got shit to do. I gotta move to Miami. That that could take years.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:17

All right, well, Pittsburgh uh did nothing with its top of the second, so on to the bottom two, and your Mets continue to lead, which sucks for me, but a good good way for you to go out on a high note. So I guess we call it there, but yeah, no plays off comes your way. Thursday's one o'clock Eastern with this special opening day edition, which is always fun. And as we learned, see a insane takes about airplane facilities and Thorb, who's in the process of packing a move to Miami, and I'm just chilling out, hoping the Red Sox win today. So that's that's what we got going on.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:52

That's what we got. Yeah, make sure to like, subscribe, do all the things, download the show. Uh, lit whatever wherever you're at, Spotify, Apple, it's everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:00

All those things, we Kellatomy's pretty. We go out of our way. You need to understand out there. I would do we cross the line, we at the very least toe the line of annoying the shit out of SPJ about doing this show multiple times per week. And so, if if you want to support that and you want to see us and hear from us more often than you are right now, you you need to rate, review, subscribe, leave comments, all that stuff.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:29

Yeah, go find sweatpant Jesus on Twitter, maybe say some mean or disrespectful things to him about trying to get this show on more times, do whatever you want. I'm not encouraging it, I'm just saying you can and you should.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:42

I think everyone the look, the metrics are showing me Twitter, Twitch. We're not even back on YouTube yet. Supposedly, that's coming in April. Every we got over a thousand people that are live with us right now. Never mind however many people check us out on the podcast. If you guys could do us a favor, and I'm being very serious about this, this is an easy one. If you're on Twitter, go to at sweatpant Jesus, Daniel Collins SPJ, at sweatpant Jesus, and just tweet him, whatever it is, put it in your own words, but something along the lines of hey man, I'm having a I'm having an okay week, but I tell you, the only thing that would make it better is if no plays off was on multiple times per week for the foreseeable future, and he would love to read that in his comments. He wants those mentions, he's he loves engagement, he wants to hear from you about this show.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:36

Trust me, almost likes engagement as much as Sia, that clout chasing bastard.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:41

Yeah, for see ya for intern alex for Thorb, a K hanging out here with you. Happy opening day, everybody. Happy, happy opening day, everybody. Happening, enjoy the sweet 16 tonight, and uh go pirates and and goets, go Nicks.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:01

SPEAKER_03 1:04:06

Next up, pocket, pocket, peace not really though. Not really.
