Adam Kaufman, Thorb, and Sia Nejad on the Betting News Network, "No Plays Off," chat about the process of getting a new phone, their wives' involvement or uninvolvement in their hobbies & careers, Montana, Target, coffee, and a lot more!
Well, this one's gonna look a little bit different. Welcome in. It's no plays off. So I guess the uh Adam High, the guy serenading us into the show, but not actually joining us for the show, Thorb. I guess that's the thing. We say, all right, we're gonna come at you twice this week. We got your Monday, we got your Thursday, but uh somebody only wants to work his normal schedule, I suppose, because we don't have Thorb. No Thorb today.
SPEAKER_00So I don't think this is a HIPAA violation. Thorb has a migraine, and so as migraines go, typically you can't uh can't really function, but it's cool because Thorb is always on the show because A, we're gonna talk about him, and B, he always intros the show. So we love that, and we love the fact that Japan is already in here and uh Book of Chew and oh damn, it's Austin. Eric David is in here, which I absolutely love to see. So it's a party, Adam, Thorb or not, but I I do miss Thorb already, no offense.
SPEAKER_01I like that you were on the verge of doing the you sometimes see this in really big streams. I don't know about popular streams, but big streams where it's like, hey, if you're in the chat, tell us where you're from. It's like, oh, we got Puka Chew from Rhode Island, we got this guy from Swan, you know, from from Kansas City. We we do have our guy SPJ down in Florida lurking in the shadows producing the show. So we do have him. Uh, let me do this though, fella, for the very first time. Very first time putting this hat on. How about the no plays off cap available to you, by the way, in the BNN store?
SPEAKER_00Okay, first of all, it looks great. Yeah, and I can't tell if the brim is like a dark orange, like an aureal's orange.
SPEAKER_01Red.
SPEAKER_00My camera, okay. Yeah, that's a great looking hat. People need to go buy that.
SPEAKER_01I mean, the logo is crisp. That's just a really solid hat. Kudos to SPJ. And it's got it's got vibes on the side.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_01Merch does. Got the BNN logo on the back. This is just a sick lid. We got I hadn't even put it on before now.
SPEAKER_03You guys should be the uh the guy that I throw into the closet to make him make those things. It's crazy.
SPEAKER_00I mean, I think we need to do no, I think we need to do some sort of giveaway. And like, you know, something on Twitter where like we we have people retweet and you know, download the podcast or whatever, follow the podcast, whatever the terminology is. And if you do those things, you're eligible for because there's other things, like there's like the quarter zip. Didn't Thorb get that? Of course, I got the yeah, I got the polo shirt, but there's a bunch of stuff that hat is really cool, honestly.
SPEAKER_01There are a few things I like more than spending other people's money. So I would say, yeah, a giveaway is is a great idea. Obviously, we need our guy SPJ to actually sign off on that, but I'm in favor of it. We just gotta figure out what the thing is, whether it's like you said, subscribing or one lucky person who retweets the next podcast. I don't know. I'm going on, I'm riffing on the fly.
SPEAKER_00Lou Brusco in the chat. He says, See ya, thanks for getting me to this podcast. FY Lou, if this is your first time watching, we normally have three of us in here. SBJ, I I interrupted you. You can you can jump right back in. It's your show, too.
SPEAKER_03I just said feet picks, that's what we needed for the uh yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's that's what I uh re-invited you onto the show for. That's good you interrupt. Great contribution. Uh Lou Brusco, if you could, maybe because you said podcast specifically, make sure you're following the podcast. It sounds like you are, but everybody out there, make sure you're following the podcast. That that definitely helps things. Apple, Spotify, Joe Newenfeld, Adam looks like he won that at a raffle. Is that a compliment, Adam?
SPEAKER_01Um, I don't think it doesn't really feel like a dig, but definitely not a compliment. It's just kind of somewhere in the middle. It's a nice hat, man. You can insult me all you want. I'm good with that. Don't rip on the lid. This is a nice, solid hat, and I love our logo. I do. I the logo is logo.
SPEAKER_00The logo is great, and that was again that's SPJ's work as far as I recollect. It is actually a really good logo. I'm sure there was like some AI involved or whatever, but like yeah, it's still like you can't just like speak to AI and have it come up with it. Or I don't know. Honestly, maybe you can. Either way, it looks really good. I'm just saying it does.
SPEAKER_01It does. Uh, how are you with tech in a very I know that's a loaded question. Here's why I ask it. How about how about that? So I don't know if resistant to change is the right way to put it, but I get really comfortable in knowing what I know, even if it's in something that is just very simple, that has your standard upgrade. For instance, like my computer that I'm on, I have a new computer that's sitting off to the side that I barely even use, that I really should, because it's way nicer than this computer that I'm on right now. But this computer is a 2014 MacBook Pro that still runs great. I mean, the battery life and shit, but the the computer runs great, and I know what I'm doing, and I've got all my stuff, and I realize you should, in theory, with Apple. I'm I'm just I'm giving Apple this credit that I just assume exists. You should be able to more or less just transfer everything over rather effortlessly and mirror or whatever else, and then boom, I'm a better machine and I'm good and I'm off and running. But I'm so resistant to do it because I know what I know. Case in point, same thing, phones. I have an iPhone 13, see you. Okay, I don't I don't even know how old that is, four or five years old, something like that.
SPEAKER_00Just so you know, I just traded in because I'm like you, I don't I don't like get the uh I literally like two months ago just traded in an iPhone 11 Pro to get the new one. I hate by the way, because it's way too big and it weighs too much.
SPEAKER_01So I I'm I'm glad you said that. So I got the iPhone 17, and I right now I have the two phones that are sitting right next to me, or really sitting right next to each other, and they're right now doing the transfer thing, which I'm told I'm told is like that's supposed to be easy, it's supposed to be quick. Let me tell you something, see it. Oh, I already know what you're gonna say. This happened to me when I got the new phone. I turn on this new phone and it takes me through a couple of the prompts, you know. Customize this, what language that, blah blah blah. And it's like, have the have the other phone sitting right next to it. And so I do that. It's like, all right, we're gonna transfer everything over. You want to use your iCloud backup, or is it you want to transfer? I'm like, uh, you know, I did an iCloud backup a couple of days ago. I want like everything, make just give me the transfer. I don't care that it takes longer, it says it's gonna take like 90 minutes. Okay, well, you need to update to the new iOS 24 dot whatever. Okay, so I hit the update, and it's you know, circle wheel of death, spin wheel of death for a little while. And I'm like, this thing says it's gonna take like four minutes. Why have I been sitting here staring at my phone for 45 minutes? And this still isn't updated yet, and nothing is we're not even at the transfer part, nothing is transferring because it's just trying to update the the latest OS, not working, not working, not working. I call up Apple. I've been at this what's supposed to be a 15-minute thing for two hours. I call up Apple, guys like, that's weird. That's that's really strange. I'll tell you what, why don't you restart the new phone, go through the prompts again? All right, I'm doing this while I'm on the phone with him. Takes me again to the update screen for the iOS. All right, well, listen, what do I do? Do I update this or I let it sit? He goes, No, no, no, no, let it sit, transfer everything over, and then later on, overnight, whatever, you can just tell it to update the IO. You're good. Great. I step away from my phone for about an hour. Nothing has changed on my screen. I'm like, Well, what the fuck is this? So I just, you know what? Screw it. I'm just gonna hit the update thing and see if maybe the Apple, you know, guru here is wrong. And so I hit the update thing, and instantly that starts updating and it restarts the phone like three times, it starts cycling, cycling, and then finally it starts giving me this data transfer portal thing, and it looks like I'm down to about 15 minutes of this adventure. But meanwhile, I have been like out of pocket living like it's you know 1999 or something, because I have not received a text message or anything related to my phone in like four hours because I don't get my text through my computer because I don't want to be attacked on every platform available on the same way, so the same way, so everything is on my phone. So it's been like four hours since I've received a text message. My wife calls up on the landline because again, I'm an old to do like a well.
SPEAKER_00Do you have a landline?
SPEAKER_01I do hold on, hold on. She wants a landline.
SPEAKER_00Why do you have a landline?
SPEAKER_01All right, uh, that's a nope, don't even use the answering machine. I will do this one quickly, but it's that was a joke. Yeah, it's a it's a two-pronged answer. One because it was actually cheaper to get the cable internet phone bundle than it was to just get the cable internet. I don't know why, but it was. It's like they make you get the landline practically. And yes, I'm not a cord cutter, I still have cable, although I do need to make that move into YouTube TV or something like that. The other reason is because the service where I'm at, like in my town for my particular carrier, kind of sucks, and so the landline with like important calls has proven to actually be useful.
SPEAKER_00That's interesting. I honestly I don't, and I it's not like I go over to a lot of people's houses, so I I maybe I'm kind of speaking out of turn to some degree, but like I don't think I know anybody that has a landline or has spoken of their landline. Hand up for and I'm telling you for like 20 years.
SPEAKER_01You got one, you got a friend. You got a friend in me, pal.
SPEAKER_00Well, you you've got a friend in a lot of people that share your frustration with new phones, Eric, David, Joe, talking about, and what's what's frustrating about this is when you get to a certain age, and and I'm talking like not in your like the Alex age or like the 20s, your 20s, or your yeah, not like 19 or 15 or however old he is. When you get to like the 20s and 30s, those people are gonna look at us and they're gonna say, Oh, like the like typical old person tech issues. Yeah, it's not a tech issue. Like, we're not, we're not, we're not even doing anything. It's just like we're literally trying to transfer data over. And the same thing happened to me when I got my new iPhone. I literally had to sit in the store, the ATT store, which in Fort Lauderdale, that's where I ended up getting it, yeah, for like two hours while the data transferred over. This was after I actually bought the phone and did all that, and that kind of took a while because I had to change from Verizon to ATT, which neither of those are a sponsor. But if Verizon wants to step in, let us know because that switch has not worked out for me from a uh from a pure service standpoint. Okay, and uh yeah, two hours. I'm just sitting there, just sitting there, waiting for this thing to and the lady was like, Oh, it's gonna take like five minutes. I mean, nope, what are we doing here?
SPEAKER_01Apparently not. I mean, was there at least because I I'm still I'm still in the weeds with this thing, it's a 14 minutes, it tells me. Were was there a happy ending at the end? At least, did you get did you have like did everything perfectly transfer over? And you had you like your new phone, you're all logged in, you got all your pictures and your texts and your contacts, like you were good.
SPEAKER_00Here's the funniest thing. So, this is when I was doing uh this is a couple of months ago when I was doing work in uh in you know at the CVS Sports Studios. Sometimes they'll they'll fly me down there to do like the local uh hosting stuff. And so I actually had a day where it's very unusual because when I'm down there, I'm working like all the time, but I had a day where I didn't have much to do. So I went to the ATT store, knowing it would take a little bit of time. And what I really wanted, like the main thing I wanted was like an upgraded phone, obviously, because it came to a point where like my phone was like super, super old.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I and I wanted like a lot of memory, which actually didn't end up working out for me because the cloud just loaded up my new phone with all the memory. So great, I'm basically still stuck again. And I wanted a phone that was similarly small to the phone I had. And so I told the lady I wanted like the smaller version of whatever the iPhone 17 versus the Pro or whatever. I was so I was so caught up trying to get out of there and trying to get the data transferred over. I didn't realize that she sold me the wrong phone. Now it's the better phone, but it's not the phone that I wanted. This thing weighs a ton, it's way too big. I don't need a big phone. I don't watch say it again.
SPEAKER_01Was it the max?
SPEAKER_00Did they get they gave you like yeah, whatever the biggest, whatever the oh no, it's not the max, it's like the middle one, I think. All right, but it's which which happens to be a lot bigger and heavier than the smaller one. So I ended up getting out of there, it was such a hassle, and I didn't even realize it till like a day later that I was sold the wrong phone, and it was just too late for me to go back. And then it's a long story after that. I just ended up keeping the phone, which it was a bad experience.
SPEAKER_01You basically be it was you became like you know, you remember in Harold and Kumar, if you ever saw that movie at 25 years ago, whatever, when you know they they're they're leaving and realize they left their phone behind. So you want to go back and get it? We've come too far. You you basically you had your we've come too far moment with the phone. So, where do you go? I'm I'm hoping to be good in 15 minutes. Where do you go from here, though? Are you gonna get a different phone, switch to a different carrier? Like, where are you at?
SPEAKER_00I may end up switching to a different carrier. I just don't know when I'm gonna have the time to do it because I like I my days like fill up with my either shows or family time, like everything's pretty much regimented. It's hard for me to be like, I'm gonna take three hours, and then I mean, I just got on this new plan, so it's gonna be some hassle to like return the phone to ATT and then go back to Verizon and be like, all right, I'm back with you guys, and whatever deal I cut on the front end has to be nullified with ATT. Like, there's it's complicated, and I just don't want to go through it, so I'm just I'm waiting it out for now.
SPEAKER_01That's a hassle. Stern, I could see you having a very regimented day.
SPEAKER_00Everything's kind of plotted out. I mean, it a lot of that is just me doing like time for like research and shows and analyst stuff like you do. So that that's also like part of the regiment, but like trying to go to the gym, trying to fit in time with the kids. I have extra shows. Like, I had an extra show this morning that nobody knows about because I just recorded it for my Positive Works YouTube channel. And so, like those shows come up, and that like that's extra time as well.
SPEAKER_01But yeah, it's just you, right? Like, that's not something that's sponsored, or maybe it is sponsored. I don't know if there's a financial component to it, but like that's just your passion project.
SPEAKER_00Total passion project, yeah. I've just done two episodes in the last like two weeks, both of them really good. First one was with Johnny Garvin, who's amazing. And Emory Hunt, who you might know, Adam. Do you know Emery Hunt with CBS?
SPEAKER_01Sounds familiar, yeah. If you saw him or heard of Emory, no, but fantasy person, fantasy sports.
SPEAKER_00Um, not really. He's more of like an analyst, like a draft X NFL draft expert, draft guy, NFL college football, all that stuff. And he does a um, he does like what's called the uh football game plan, which is a 1200 player scouting report on all of the college players every single year, which is it's not just like the high-level guys, it's like all the like the sort of the lower end guys as well. It's really comprehensive. So good dude. Uh, real quick, Moshi's in here. He's a really good dude, too. He says, Finally found you guys on Twitch. What's up, y'all? And then there was another guy, I think it was Todd or somebody else, that said he was having trouble finding us on YouTube like previously. So we hadn't been on YouTube for quite some time, but now we're back on YouTube. We're hoping that stays. We had some issues with like community guidelines and stuff like that. It was probably a Thorb thing.
SPEAKER_01Right, it Thorbed for too often. That's what it was.
SPEAKER_00That's probably what it was. Um, but so just so you know, we're up on YouTube right now, uh, over at Eurobetting News. Uh, we're on Twitch, we're on Twitter, of course. Uh, so join us on any platform, comment if you can, and obviously follow the big thing too is following the podcast on Apple and or Spotify.
SPEAKER_01How like I think you use the word regimented, like how how I mean, are you just a you know a slave to routine kind of thing? Like, does it is is the day when when you whether it's before you go to bed, you're mapping out the next day, or maybe first thing in the morning you wake up, this is what my day is gonna look like. How rigid to the clock is it?
SPEAKER_00It's not rigid to the clock as much as it is rigid to like the timing of everything. Like, I I I already know what my day looks like tomorrow, next week. You know, there might be some extra stuff that's peppered in, but like every day is kind of the same for me. So it's very easy for me to be like, all right, I'm gonna have an hour and a half to like get to the gym and back. I'm gonna have this much time to prep for my shows, I'm gonna have this much time to spend with family. Then when everybody goes to bed, I'm gonna have this much time to prep for tomorrow. And it's the same cycle over again. And for the record, that might sound monotonous, but I actually quite enjoy it. So it's not monotonous at all to me.
SPEAKER_01It's so funny. I I can't remember if I told this story on one of our recent shows, or if I maybe I did, maybe I even told it on Monday. I can't freaking remember. But like you and I do the same type of stuff when it comes to research and obviously betting and mapping. Like clearly, I don't even need to ask Thorb, you know, in terms of organization. I know there's an element of organization to betting and spreadsheets and that kind of thing that you and I have that he is just betting on a whim and going with feel and gut and whatever else, and he's not writing anything down, God love him. He's just saying pick it and finding out after.
SPEAKER_00I'm more on the I'm on I'm on the more on the Thorb side of that. Okay, I'm really not much of a spreadsheet guy. Like with a lot of my picks, Sports Line tracks them, so I can like I can let that just happen. But like I have like a lot of whimsical bets too, because I'm more on the I just want to have fun like every day that I'm doing this. So a lot of times I'll like even even right now, and I understand like everybody wants to have fun with it. Even right now, like I'm looking and I see that there's like uh an MLB game at 5 30. Was it 5 35? Some random time.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, weird, weird schedule today, multiple double headers and out throughout the day, just odd day.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, there's a 405. Oh, that's the Baltimore game. Um, 535, 740, and then that's the whole slate. Like, I'm always looking for like just random plays, so it's that doesn't cater to like you know, spreadsheet tracking, because I'm not putting all I'm not I'm not putting a lot of those bets out. Those are just me bets that I'm just trying to have fun during the day.
SPEAKER_01So I guess where I'm going with with all of that is I I don't do a lot with spreadsheets either, unless it's something that I really want to diligently keep track of. Like I've talked about this, you know, baseball trend thing that I'm doing this season. I keep that in a spreadsheet because I know I'm gonna be making other baseball plays outside of it. So it's not just as simple as I can go on to pick it and how am I doing on MLB this season because that number's gonna be wrong compared to what this trend is. It's gonna be all-encompassing. So my wife comes down the other night and sees that I'm just it just in this moment, this doesn't happen a lot, but she comes down, she sees that I'm staring at my computer like I'm staring at you right now, and I've got two things open that I'm looking at this spreadsheet with all this MLB data, and just like box scores from you know, uh ESPN or whatever. And she sees me looking at it and she's like, What the hell are you doing? I'm just I'm I'm looking at this baseball stuff that I'm that I'm researching that I'm that I'm betting on. It's like, well, why don't you uh do something fun? It was like I this why are you policing this? This is fun for me. I'm enjoying this, I'm looking at this, I'm interested in it. What are you coming in and wrecking it for? What do you do something fun? So it just it's it's a reminder to myself. My wife, who is a casual sports fan, I would say, not a diehard, certainly gets all revved up when it comes to the kids playing stuff. But she's like, if I weren't home, she's not gonna just put on the Celtics game tonight, that kind of thing, right? Casual sports fan. But the bet like, we don't talk about betting or any of the stuff that you and I do, the the content. She doesn't watch anything that I do, she's not tuned into this show because it's just not that's not what interests her. She's got her own stuff that interests her. But it's funny how that like those things she can she can look at something and just be like, What are you doing? and why is this even remotely entertaining for you? Meanwhile, you and I probably dedicate hours a day to it.
SPEAKER_00That's the beauty of the comment that I made when you said you go to the movies without your wife and sometimes by yourself or with your guy friends or whatever it is. And I was like, after we had that conversation, by the way, the cut up that Thorb did that he put out, if you all if you all haven't seen it on social media on Instagram or wherever, uh, it's it's pretty great. With that said, the um idea of your wife understanding and loving everything you do, or like wanting to do everything you do, I feel like, and and some people have that, and maybe they're just it's a different type of relationship. That I don't understand. But I I I don't mind because my my wife is the same way. I don't mind that she's like not into that stuff or like doesn't get certain stuff like that, or that doesn't need like when when when she goes out, which is very rare, she's in she's coming back from Vegas right now because she's doing uh the floor reunion. They they all got together for um they watched an episode together last night or whatever. But I I love the idea of like you do your own thing, I do my own thing, but most of the time we're doing it together, but like you don't have to you don't have to love what I'm doing. I don't have to love what you're doing, just like have fun.
SPEAKER_01So you obviously, I mean, why wouldn't you? Like, your wife is on a game show, so you're watching this show when it's on, and I assume more often than not, watching it sitting right there on the couch next to her, and you're you know, she's reliving it, telling you about it along the way. How often is she watching not this show, but like, I don't know, your CBS stuff or stuff that you do? Or is it just like eh, that's just that's his work?
SPEAKER_00Never. I mean, because I mean, first of all, even when I'm on CBS Sports Network, like she's not gonna have the TV on to CBS Sports Network on like CBS Sports HQ and the YouTube channel, like she's not just gonna have that on. She's gonna be listening to her own like fitness podcast or something like that. I think the only times when I would get when I did work for Monumental, I was in their studio, which is different than this setup, obviously. And it's like a world-class studio, by the way. It's like really nice. So there would be times where because I I was fresh with that with that squad. So it would be on like when I got back, for example, and like my kids would be watching it and stuff. But no, she has absolutely no interest, unless something funny happens, which I think is like the secret sauce to any show, whether it's like a sports betting show or this type of show or whatever, like something subject matter that transcends, at least sometimes transcends like whatever the main topic is, so that people like my wife can look at a clip and be like, oh, that's really funny, or like what you know, just draw interest outside of like the main subject matter. That's the type of stuff she'll be interested in if I show her a clip, but otherwise, she's completely checked out.
SPEAKER_01Did you show her the sponge clip from the last episode?
SPEAKER_00I just showed her a clip. Oh, I did. I did actually, it's very rare that I show her a clip because to my to the point I was making, I don't think she's interested in many of them. But I uh I'm gonna get to Lou's comment in a second, but yeah, I actually showed her that. And I and I was like, it was kind of a long clip, right? About a minute and a half or so. Longer, maybe two minutes. Yeah, uh, again, we we posted this. I think everybody should watch this clip because it's really funny. And also the the fight Thorb and I got into about Teddy Bridgewater was pretty great too. Yeah, but I let her watch it, and then I go, Was I right about sponges, like types of sponges? And she's like, Yeah, of course. And I said, Well, well, like the regular sponge without the core side, like you those are everywhere, right? She said, Yeah, of course they're everywhere. And and I knew the answer to that already, but the way you guys were laughing about it, I was like, Does everybody think a sponge is is that thing that we were talking about? It's just a variation of a sponge. So, anyway, I did she thought that was she thought the whole thing was funny for the record. That's the main point you were asking about. She thought it was hilarious.
SPEAKER_01I like that really you just showed it to her though, looking for confirmation bias. It wasn't it wasn't even like I just want you to see this, see what we're up to at work. This is I feel like if I I so I haven't shown that clip to my wife for no specific reason, but I wonder if I did, she would look at it and be like, Like, this is what you're doing when I'm going out and like actually working all day, like this, like this is the crap that that you're doing in the basement.
SPEAKER_00I thought you were doing real work. It's funny because I think all of that mundane stuff is really interesting, and uh, and it's only interesting if it's like if you overthink it, which is what I do with all of the mundane things. I I think that it becomes interesting because I like I've thought way too much about it. Yeah, and then people are like, why is he like that deep into like hand washing and the hot water and the soap and the type of sponge? I I don't know, I just think it's it's hilarious. Um, that was a funny clip. That was a good last Monday, it was three days ago. Yeah, that was a really great show.
SPEAKER_01You're really I don't think purposefully, but you've like inundated my kitchen because I can't now wash my dishes, use a sponge or a brush, wipe something down with a paper towel versus a cloth. Like I'm thinking about you at all times when I'm cleaning up in the kitchen.
SPEAKER_00Well, I I hope you do next time you go to the dry cleaners as well and maybe just peel off a couple of items that don't need to be dry cleaned. I'm I'm here, I'm here to talk about all the scammy things that we can start to streamline out of our life. To if you want to save the environment, that's great. If you want to spend a little less money, that's great. If you want to just be seen as the guy that or girl that is like kind of a minimalist that's that's able to just have a few things to like go through your day. I think that's kind of a cool trait as well. We're all hoarders, like Adam, you're like the king of hoarding, you've got your entire DVD collection, not just like in like an attic somewhere, you like have it in your main room.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's I mean, it's in the basement, it's not the main room, but it's a it's a but but it's a finished basement. So I I do obviously spend most of my time down here. Uh Eric in the chat, uh see as living rent-free and Adam's head, mission accomplished. It's true. I do I do picture you as like that the way you talk about a lot of these things, there is a version. In this is probably not true, but in my head, there is a version of you later in life with your family or on your own that just has like a log cabin in the middle of Montana, and you're you know, beating your clothes dry and hanging them up on a line and going out and killing your food and do it just taking like commerce out of the equation. Everything is a throwback to how it was in certain parts of the world 50, 60 years ago, and that's you living your best life. It's like you were born at the wrong time.
SPEAKER_00So here's the thing, though, all of those things that I'd be doing, I wouldn't want to be doing in some the outskirts of some like random state. No offense, Montana. I'd want to be doing them like near a city or near near like a populated town or whatever, so that I could set the example for others. It's just I'm just condescending enough to be like, y'all gotta see what we're doing over here so that you do you better. You could be the mayor. I could be the mayor. Um, Eric David says, Gigi is strikingly beautiful. Should we have Gigi come on to the have we talked about the moment with Rob Lowe? Have we have we talked about it on the show? Um I can't remember. I genuinely can't remember.
SPEAKER_01Not really, no, not really. I mean, I you've obviously talked about it, you've posted about it, it's been on social media. But no, if we really had a conversation about it, no, I guess we haven't. We should think so.
SPEAKER_00Well, no, I mean we don't we don't need to do that now.
SPEAKER_01We can if you want to wait for Thorb, that's fine.
SPEAKER_00Well, we can wait for Thorb for that, and then maybe I don't know. Like, I I don't know what happens with like copyright stuff. Um, SPJ might have. I mean, I'm a lawyer, I should know the answer to this, but like play the clip, you mean can we play the the the clip, not of her competing, the clip with we can't okay, thank you. Um, because I actually wanted to post that side shape, yeah. Okay, for the audio listeners, SPJ just came in and he just nodded his head no, like what that we definitely can't do that. Um he looks great. I think that yeah, I think that clip is the most viral moment of the show so far. Uh, because one thing, one thing you all don't know that that I know is that I think one of the seasons of the floor, like one of the early seasons. Um, you know, there's a hundred people there's produce the studio, you're you're near a lot of people. I think Rob got like like caught a cold or a flu from somebody or whatever. And this is my understanding is that he doesn't really touch the contestants because he just doesn't want to like totally understandable, like you don't want to catch a cold or whatever. So um but he's the idea knowing that touching knowing yeah, he just doesn't like he doesn't get like intimately close with with contestants, it's just like he doesn't want to do that, he doesn't want to get sick again because they're recording back to back to back to back episodes, and in some cases, back to back seasons, like they did with season four and five. That they recorded those together, just so you know, like right overlapping each other. So the last thing the host wants to do is you know, go down and be sick for an entire season. So the idea of him touching, hugging anyone was not on the table for anybody, you know, like whether you know, it's just that wasn't gonna happen. So that moment was actually a lot bigger. If you see the contestants on the actual floor that are watching it, watching Gigi and that guy Lorenzo, they're like so happy about it and like it's such a cute moment, but also they're like, oh my gosh, somebody hugged because like you're just not that's not a thing that that actually happened. So I do think it's worth talking about, and I think it's worth you guys having Gigi in this seat and you guys just like grilling her on whatever you want. And I'm not even in the studio, like I check out and I check back in. I give you guys like 15 minutes to ask her whatever dirt you want about the show, specifically, not me necessarily, or both, necessarily, and then uh, and then I check back in.
SPEAKER_01Anytime Gigi wants to be on the show, I mean, yeah, let's do that. Let's by all means have her on.
SPEAKER_03But you know who should be more like uh Rob Lowe? Mike Brable. Say it again, say it again. You know who should be more like Rob Lowe? Who's that? Mike Brabel.
SPEAKER_01No touching the no touching joke. Uh Mike Brabel who had a standing ovation from Patriots fans at a QA last night.
SPEAKER_03Real quick, before you guys move past this, I just have a quick story for you on Montana, since you guys are talking about Montana. Um, so my cousin lives in Montana. Her husband's from Montana, and they live up in Montana. Uh, and they actually do live kind of that similar lifestyle you were talking about. I mean, they have like cars and stuff, but they are very mountainous people. Um, and I saw my cousin with the passing of my grandmother a couple weeks ago, who I don't see very often, and she brought her two daughters with her, and her daughters are six and four. And my cousin was telling me this story, which is this is such an incredible story. Her four-year-old is a maniac, and she's very outdoorsy, like they ski, they like, you know, their dad is taking them hunting, like they know like all that type of stuff in the Montana wilderness, right? And apparently they have a friend that brings them um game that gets you know hunted at particular times of the season. And one time they he brought a duck, like a full-on dead duck that he had just shot and to for my cousin's husband to to clean and then they would eat. And the little girl was looking at the duck and looking at this, like you know, six five dude with a gun, going, you know, what's that? And she he said, 'Oh, it's a duck.' And he said, 'You kill that duck?' And he said, Yep, I killed that duck. And she was like, What are we gonna do with that duck? And he said, I was like, Yeah, they're gonna probably eat that duck. And she was like, Okay. And then they obviously prepared the duck and everything, and uh they sat down, ate the duck, and my my cousin's daughter looked at her and said, This is the best thing I've ever eaten. We must have duck all the time. And my cousin was like, Well, you know, there's only certain times you can have duck, kind of explaining hunting seasons and all that type of stuff. And she's like, Wait, so we can't have duck all the time. She was like, Well, no, it's not really how it works. And she's like, How do we get more duck? And my cousin was like, Well, you know, the ducks have to have babies, and then they can in the next season we can, you know, properly make sure that we do this the way it's supposed to be done. She's like, Okay, so then we make sure all the ducks have all the babies, and then we have more duck for dinner. Okay, thank you. We kill the ducks, we kill more ducks. Four-year-old saying all this was wonderful.
SPEAKER_01This I like that this little girl is like out of a country western movie, too. That's my favorite part of it. I'll I'll I'll tell you a Montana story. This will be since you brought up the DVDs, too, this will be a particularly dated story in terms of where we are at in the world here in 2026. Versus this was probably 2004, 2005. So, you know, we're a good 20 years ago. So, as we've talked a little bit about in the past, I came up out of Syracuse in the play-by-play ranks. That was what I thought I wanted to do with my life, and so there was a job, a junior hockey job, like high-level junior hockey job in Bozeman, Montana. I had never been to Montana, didn't know anybody in Montana. Evidently, this particular area, uh really popular team, but like there's fuck all else to do, right? Like, there's no other professional teams in the area or anything like that. I don't even know how many colleges are in are in the Bozeman area, but they fly me out for an interview. Gorgeous. I mean, truly like God's country. And all people do there is like golf and ski, right? Depending on the time of the year. You golf, you ski. Now, I don't do either of those things, so that in and of itself would have made it a difficult transition. Maybe I would have learned, maybe I'd be a better person for it today. Who knows? My life might have been completely different if I had once upon a time see a move to Bozeman, Montana. But I'm talking to the people out there, we're doing the interview, it's very casual, and trying to decide if it's right for me. The pay would have been awful, but that's like kind of universal to the industry. Yeah, it's not a knock on you know, Bozeman, Montana or the job of the organization. Honestly, I think like the job might have paid like$25,000 for the year, uh, with like a housing stipend, maybe something like that. A lot of those jobs in the minors or in juniors will will do that for you to help offset some of your costs. But I remember talking to somebody who was some level of the organization, not specifically the person interviewing me, but they were kind of tasked for you know, with like showing me around the area, see what I thought, you know, where I would potentially live, that kind of thing. Now, remember, this is before the days of like everyone buying everything on Amazon. This is before, you know, streaming was what it is now. So I'm I'm in the height of my DVD collecting, right? And I said to this this guy, so like, what's the like what's the closest Best Buy? Like, this to me was like one of the really like differentiating questions as to whether I could live in Bozeman, Montana. He's like, that's about two hours. Going, what where am I in the middle of nowhere that the the closest Best Buy, which is a very popular chain at this time, is two plus hours away. Needless to say, I did not move to Bozeman, Montana. That was not the lone reason, but uh, you know, it I I just I I I like you, I need to be close to a city, not in the city, close to a city. I feel like I'm a little closer to civilization.
SPEAKER_00How about Circuit City? You didn't ask about Circuit City?
SPEAKER_01I think Circuit City by that point had gone under.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01I think it had gone under by then.
SPEAKER_00Uh do we think Best Buys are are all going under within the next like three years?
SPEAKER_01I mean, you think back, like all the Radio Shacks went under, Circuit Cities went under, like Best Buy, it's coming. I mean, I I went to not far from me, there's a uh there, I mean, there are still some Best Buys. There aren't many. I can't tell you the last time I was in one, but next to where I was working, there's this strip mall. I hesitate to call it a real mall, but like a strip mall. And it's just it's like laughable what what you find now in a strip mall because this whole thing was not big. So you've got like a Target on one end, you got a Best Buy on the other end, you got a Chinese restaurant that's way too big for what it should be in the middle of it somewhere, not good food. You've got a DMV that takes up like a third of the mall within this thing, and then like a Claire's for all the little kids that want to get their ears pierced. And this was in a candy store. This was basically this, and it is is this is current, this exists today, and it the Best Buy and the DMV or RMV, whichever, are right next to each other. I can't imagine, like, let's go buy this TV and then get my license renewed. Like, it's it's well, the the the Target is pulling in the Target is pulling in customers, but then that's a little redundant because Target is selling a lot of the stuff Best Buy is uh not not a ton, but but do people go to Target for electronics now, or do people go to Target for their food and for clothing and home goods and that kind of thing? Because you equip home goods.
SPEAKER_00People go to Target to like spend time in the aisles and then they uh end up buying like$300 or at least$100 worth of stuff. Like, I feel like Target is where you go to buy that one thing you need, and then you roam the aisles and you find out you quote air quotes need like seven other things.
SPEAKER_01Are you that kind of shopper? Are you a roamer? Or do you prefer to do your shopping online where you just know what you want and you get it?
SPEAKER_00So it depends, but like if I'm like like that type of shopping, I want to go and I wanna I want to hang out. I'm a big grocery store guy. I love going to the grocery store, I love going to Target. I especially like going during like off-peak hours, which is usually sometime at night, like on a weekday or something. Or like 7 a.m. No, I'll never be up that early in the morning to go do anything like that personally. But no, I I mean I I Target's great. I think everybody I don't know anybody that's like, I hate Target. I feel like everybody goes to Target and they feel like some sort of peace, unless it's like Christmas time and it's like super crowded or whatever. Like, I feel like Target is just one of those places people are like, oh, Target, like vibes are high.
SPEAKER_01I feel like Target is the thing that like young married couples do on a Friday night.
SPEAKER_00Hmm. Young married, so I feel like young married couples would be more like Walmart because they they're trying to like they're trying to like get the discount, like they're trying to, they got a family to feed, they're they're they're doing the the smarter shopping. I feel like Target's more like a singles place.
SPEAKER_01Like I'm well, SPJ in the shadows. You are a uh you're a you're a young married guy, you haven't been married all that long. You know, you're you're not the grizzled vet that C and I are over here with our our mountains of children. Do you go to a Target or a Walmart on a Friday night?
SPEAKER_00No. Well, let's let's let's not reduce it to Friday night, but like, are you how long have you been dating your girlfriend?
SPEAKER_03Uh well, my wife, my wife now. We've been together for six years. Um, and yeah, I mean, we've gone to Target for shop, we don't ever go to Walmart unless it's like something that's very Walmart specific, which is very few things. But my wife doesn't really like Target, she's very eco-friendly and like kind of shops for places that are kind of more non-traditional, like that. So we have gone to Target quite a few times though, in random capacities. I mean, I feel like it's a if you are a younger, like when you are maybe when you first start dating, or when you're like maybe in the earlier parts of your relationship, that's something that you could maybe like do. Like you're going, it's kind of more of a couple y thing. You could walk around Target and find some shit. The problem with Target though is that whenever you go to a Target, when you're looking for one specific thing, first of all, you probably actually don't actually find that thing, but then you end up buying like four other fucking things that you actually don't need because that's how Target works. So um to answer your question, no, I also appreciate. I mean, I'm not that much younger than you guys, so but I appreciate you uh throwing me into that uh that realm. So I appreciate that.
SPEAKER_00Uh so I'm at least right about one thing because Target lovers in the chat. That's what I was gonna say. There's not so I didn't understand, like, um, or I didn't I didn't know about the the non-echo friendly part of Target. Like, that's that's something I'm I'm ignorant too. But there's not one person in the chat that is not like touting Target, like, oh, I love Target, my wife likes loves Target, or we go together on whatever night it is. Starbucks. So let's green. So let's name places real quick. Let's name places that like are always like generally speaking, 95% of people just like kind of love being at whether they admit it or not, they look they love being at Starbucks and Target. I do, or I mean coffee shops in general, but because Starbucks dominates the scene, I think Starbucks is on that list. Yeah, what else?
SPEAKER_01Pottery barn. Interesting. People love pottery barn.
SPEAKER_00Pottery barn, okay.
SPEAKER_01Grocery stores are definitely not on that list.
SPEAKER_00What'd you say, SPJ?
SPEAKER_03Grocery stores can go into the grocery store.
SPEAKER_00So, yeah, I I like the grocery store answer, but I do feel like it has to be specific to certain chains. Like, I'm I'm not a Whole Foods guy, but I do feel like when people go to Whole Foods, they feel a certain way about like their grocery shopping experience that you wouldn't get at like a food line necessarily.
SPEAKER_01So can be I could be wrong about BB hates pottery barn. All right, well, listen.
SPEAKER_00Oh, Barnes and Noble is a great answer. Barnes and Noble is a proper proper patch. Yeah, Barnes and Noble is so underrated that people may just walk in and feel the vibe standpoint.
SPEAKER_01When's the last time you were? in a bookstore.
SPEAKER_00Well, so I I I was at Barnes and Noble two weeks ago in Tyson's Corner. Really? Yeah, they've got they've got uh they've got one there. They've got also got the they usually have they're outfitted with Starbucks as well, which I don't drink Starbucks because it doesn't actually like wake me up like my the espresso I I make, but um Barnes and Noble's a good one. I don't even buy books there. And my kids like Barnes and Noble because there's usually like books they can look at or like knickknacks like fun little like toys they can and they're into sports books.
SPEAKER_03So yeah. See I have a question for you since you mentioned coffee. Uh are you a I know you said espresso so I know you're an espresso guy. Do you have a um do you like cap yourself at the amount of cap caffeine slash coffee consumption you make on a daily basis? Are you an equal opportunity at any time of day coffee drinker? I know like with our weird schedules and doing stuff randomly sometimes it doesn't matter as much but do you have a like routine with your coffee?
SPEAKER_00I have a routine yeah so I I I like make my own like I've got one of those espresso machines. All I need really is the espresso grounds and I I pack them into that thing you see at like coffee shops. Super easy to make always have one in the morning before my morning show. So like around eight nine o'clock and then I always have the second one somewhere between 12 o'clock and like three o'clock and I don't have any more after that. And it's not because I won't be able to go to sleep necessarily because I go to sleep late anyway it's because I feel weird about having like sometimes I'll have three espresso in a day but like I feel like there's a certain point where you're just having too much caffeine.
SPEAKER_01So I usually happens like caffeine withdrawal if you haven't had you know if it yeah I don't know it's it's two o'clock in the afternoon you haven't had anything yet does it are are you off your game?
SPEAKER_00A hundred percent I mean that's the only reason I drink it uh it's I I won't be functioning properly if I don't have it can't be coffee coffee doesn't wake me up it can't be a Starbucks Starbucks espresso that genuinely doesn't wake me up anymore it used to maybe four or five years ago has to be one of the ones generally that I make and if I don't have it like I'm I'm slow.
SPEAKER_01Sook coming in with hard hitting questions wants to know the temperature in your water on the machine I it's super hot.
SPEAKER_00So I you know I pour it in cold but once it goes through the whatever the machine mechanics are it it it's hot. So I actually don't know the temperature but I can tell you um it's it's it's pretty hot.
SPEAKER_01But you're pouring in cold you're not even starting hot. You're letting the machine do all the work.
SPEAKER_03Yeah the water sits there at at room temperature and then I if I literally think that if my if I ever went to the doctor at any particular portion of my life and the doctor said to me you have to stop drinking coffee I will say respectfully you can fuck off. I will not just end it. I'm not I I will I there you know I could give up drinking beer I could give up drinking anything else any other liquid consumption that I'd have to do any type of food is would be fine for me. I'm not like a big person where I have to have a particular type of food but if if I ever had to give up drinking coffee for whatever reason I could probably limit the coffee I can I had to consume but I will never in my entire life regardless of how long my existence happens give up coffee 100% that that would be the one non-negotiable for me as well I don't drink soda like I I can give up a lot of food and drink items I haven't drink soda since like 2019 I think and I love and I I do like soda I don't really miss that but I wouldn't be able to function properly without espresso specifically same I only drink soda if it has alcohol in it interesting what so what would that be like a Roman Coke like a Roman Coke or oh I see I thought you meant a ginger or something yeah like I don't want to drink just a soda by itself like if it's if I'm gonna drink a soda I want it to have some sort of alcohol in it which I don't choose to do that either I'd rather just drink regular alcohol in normal situations but like yeah I don't drink soda either I don't can't remember the last time I sat down and drank a Coke.
SPEAKER_00Adam are you a coffee guy?
SPEAKER_01I have never tried coffee in my life if you can believe that so what do you that's interesting what do you drink to wake up or whatever I really well I really don't like so I I do drink soda but I it's not like I'm kicking off my day with a can of Pepsi to get the caffeine like I may have a can of Pepsi like for the first time all day at 10 o'clock at night you know because it it doesn't have any impact on doesn't keep me up doesn't you know prevent me from like I could chug a Mountain Dew and fall right to sleep. I'm like just desensitized to it at this point in time. So there isn't a uh yeah there there you go Alex intern Alex in the background there with uh with an empty bottle of Mountain Dew that he's probably using as a spit container at this point I yeah I'm not I don't need the caffeine I want it don't get me wrong but I don't need it I don't I don't crave it necessarily what it is for me with the with the soda more than anything because like Sprite for instance is caffeine free it's the sugar it's the bubbles that's what I need that's that's that's a big part of my day I I need I need that so I I could give up alcohol tomorrow no issue I could never have another sick of alcohol in my life it wouldn't impact me in any way not a not like a juicer Gatorade guy I'm just and and again like I don't drink coffee espresso whatever like it's soda it's water that's pretty much all I drink.
SPEAKER_00So there was never a time where you were like I really just need something extra to wake up because it's I've got long days ahead of me or I'm not getting enough sleep there was when I so for a I don't know almost a decade probably or at least a half dozen years of my life I was doing morning radio and that required waking up at 3 30 in the morning getting in the car by like 415 I'm at the radio station by five and on with the day that kind of thing when I was doing that every day Monday to Friday it was not unusual I'll put it that way it wasn't every day but it would certainly not be unusual for me to like get in the car at again 415 in the morning and crack open a a can of Coke or something like that.
SPEAKER_01You know just to like all right let's let's fire it up let's fire up the day a little bit I need but I think I don't know if it was so much the caffeine as I like I needed the psychological boost as much as anything.
SPEAKER_00That's interesting. You do do you hate the taste of of coffee in in espresso that type of thing or you just you're just agnostic to what you again I've never even tried coffee. So like you know people I know plenty of people that don't drink you know like a black coffee but they love iced coffee that I've never had any I just don't like the smell of coffee I like the smell of it turns me off um there was a comment like 30 minutes ago from Jeff Stenberg and I know we only have a few more minutes on on today's show.
SPEAKER_01I I feel like we have to read this comment because Mike Vrabel came up thanks to SPJ I think he came in and and mentioned something about SP uh uh Mike Vrabel during the Rob Lowe conversation and Jeff Stenberg said I think Mike Vrabel just got confused on what type of cheating helps the Patriots win out of your response I've I've seen a number of people say that uh there were there were a couple of pretty good memes about it right after it happened like no Mike that's wrong cheating um yeah look yeah no I mean it's good it's it's a good joke the again I've seen it everywhere at this point so like the first time I saw it and heard it it made it gave me a good laugh now I feel like I've just heard it enough times but it's yeah it's a it's a good bit listen the the Patriots history is littered with some uh various gates I'm I'm glad that like Diana gate hasn't become a thing as far as I know but it is interesting I I guess I don't get to enough Pats games to really pay attention to it at this point but I've heard some local reporters you know doing interviews talking about this thing saying like there are just there are little subtle things that the Patriots uh wouldn't have even had to think about previously that they are now going to have to adjust to this upcoming season for instance in the stadium oftentimes before games you know the Michael Jackson song Dirty Diana yeah oh no they play that song in the stadium guess they probably won't is unbelievable or like you know smooth criminal or uh which doesn't fit as well or you know Billy Jean the kid is not my son you know all this stuff going around about you know Diana's kid Mike and people putting together timelines and I don't know again these are just theories that people are having fun with on the internet but you know are these songs going to be still played over the PA system in Foxboro you can't you you can't play dirty Diana like that's that's an obvious one you can't play dirty Diana and and I I heard uh Burt Breer MMQB he he made this I hadn't even thought about this you know we're what a week or two away from it's become a gigantic thing in the football world the NFL schedule release videos are other teams around the league going to poke fun at this with the Patriots do you think the league has issued no chance issued a decree like you better stay away from this no teams and that's probably more likely but yeah yeah but you have to wonder if anyone's gonna you know try and be just a little subtle with something they uh they definitely will not be playing anything from that Diana Roussini playlist that's for damn sure as well uh none of that will be included also on this back on for that just for that I was waiting my moment one thing too just since you're on this topic and we and Jeff kind of mentioned it in the chat have you guys seen the story about the uh the JP Morgan woman the executive oh I saw something but I didn't I don't know about it. Well we don't have time to go deep dive into this so just when your show's over go look at it but they're basically one of a high executive woman at JP Morgan has been fired because one of the a junior she she was sexually assaulting the junior by basically forcing that person to have sex with her and telling him like you can't you won't be able I won't pass your promotion like none of this will happen and it it it got very inflammatory and it also was very racist too so again we don't have time to deep dive into this because you guys are almost done but go look at it afterwards it's it's weird because it's comical yet really really fucked up at the same time so please go uh go look at it it's pretty wild interesting yeah I mean listen you you can't have even if it's consensual which obviously that situation didn't sound very consensual but even if it's consensual you you can't have sex with a subordinate you just can't do it in the workplace not worth it yeah it's not I mean obviously uh I before we get out of here in a couple of minutes I think I still speaking to the Patriots I think I saw yesterday I might be getting this wrong the timing of it wrong but I'm pretty sure yesterday was the 20 year anniversary of Randy Moss getting traded from the Raiders to the Patriots and and then when I saw that story whatever whoever was telling that story was reflecting on that team that 18-0 team playing the Giants and obviously losing and and and and by the way Randy Moss scored what looked to be the game winning touchdown in that game but then you had you know Plaxico score a touchdown then right before that was the David Tyree catch if I remember correctly that was that Giants win is is there a luckier moment in sports given the gravity of that situation this is maybe we can continue this to the next show because I know we don't have time but Eli Manning running around like a little child and like throwing the ball up like he's playing 500 with his big brother and David Tyree catching that ball in his helmet I I understand people have talked about this ad nauseum but the Randy Moss thing reminded me of it because that team was so dominant I cannot believe they lost that game. Yeah I mean every I feel like every team not every team but most teams across sports probably have that moment right in their history that lucky moment now it may not have been championship defining and all of that but yeah for the Giants like it's got to be the David Tyree helmet catch for the Patriots it's the tuck rule you know like there are all these things that like organizations will just forever you know like this was the moment that shaped XYZ that uh yeah I mean look don't have to remind me man again Patriots fan as we know uh now what I will say though and like you said we're short on time I do feel like things at a certain point kind of offset like I was really in fandom upset about those two Giants losses and the fact that Eli Manning can say you know I'm two and oh against the Patriots in the Super Bowl and all of that stuff. Certainly games the Patriots were favored and in both cases should have won but Patriots shouldn't have beaten the Seahawks you know that you know the Malcolm Butler year obviously we know what happened this previous this this latest time but like Patriots shouldn't have won the Malcolm Butler game you know 28 three against the Falcons like that shouldn't have happened you know so there are I I don't know I from a from a if we're just looking at Patriots championships which I know is everybody's favorite thing to do you know to me like those two wins kind of cancel out the other two losses like it just kind of evens out and Thorb's dolphins they got lucky with the actually they don't they don't win anything so that doesn't work I wanted to thread Thorpe back and marino was an ace ventura something there you go shout out Thorb all right we got it we got to get out of here right uh before you announce what's coming up next uh I do you want to remind everybody go to Spotify go to Apple download follow the uh no plays off podcast Adam what's what's going on next and I heard there's some sort of giveaway happening too well I I think we need to do a game I'll let SPJ talk about the giveaway but as far as what's coming up I will tell you in one hour I'm gonna be back here with Danny Burke off the bump not a drug reference we'll be talking major league baseball it is just the one game tonight but we'll be looking back at what happened throughout the day and we'll have some games in progress and uh nice system hit today the St.
