Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:25

No plays off. How are ya? Good to see you guys again. All right, so let's just get this out of the way. I got a cough drop in my mouth. I'm probably gonna be just throwing these things in all throughout the next hour because Thorb see ya, I don't know what's up. I'm just WebMDing this thing as I go along at this point. I don't know that I'm actually sick. I think I'm sick. I took a COVID test five minutes ago. That turned up negative. It could just be pollen allergies. I don't know what the fuck's going on. I just know I don't really feel great. So this is gonna be a real win for you because I like to believe I'm phrasing that a very specific way.

SPEAKER_02 1:01

I know you're gonna say it's already false.

SPEAKER_03 1:04

I like to believe that you guys prefer that I be here versus not, but I know you'd like me to talk less. So I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna talk less so that I don't hack up a lung everywhere, and uh yeah, three of us together again. How are you?

SPEAKER_05 1:18

I have so many follow-up questions. Somehow this is gonna sound political, but like people still take covet tests.

SPEAKER_03 1:24

So is that a thing? I was like, really? Like, what's what's the point? Who tests for this anymore? She's like, I don't know. At least then you'll know what you're dealing with. Like, what's the so it pops up and it says yes, what's the difference? Like I like, am I gonna am I gonna live my life differently in some way if I know I have COVID versus I don't? Like, no, I mean, yeah, I don't even know the last time I took a COVID test. I have had COVID, I never had it, like I was never down bad. It was, you know, I had it a couple times and it was like your common cold. But yeah, it's not I'm not like gonna put out a memo to all the neighborhood kids and and families and everybody that like may interact with my family and my children and be like, hey, listen, like nobody does that anymore. I thought he knows something's up because I have a full body sweat right now, just since this show started.

SPEAKER_02 2:16

But yeah, let me just start by saying you've talked so much already.

SPEAKER_03 2:20

Well, he had a follow-up, and I'll I'll sit out for a while.

SPEAKER_02 2:25

Um, too. Maybe you have the uh maybe you have the new one, the Hontavirus or something. The real Honta. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:33

Do hang out with Splinter.

SPEAKER_05 2:36

Uh, also, I I have another follow-up.

SPEAKER_03 2:39

Sure.

SPEAKER_05 2:39

Most cough drops have never really worked for me. I've had some like really bad coughs in my time, just like most people, like a lot of people do. For some reason, they last like they can last for me for like like two weeks where I'm coughing till like three in the morning. Yeah, there's one cough drop ever that has at least moderately worked, and it's the most disgusting thing ever. It's called Fisherman's Friends. Have you ever had that?

SPEAKER_03 2:59

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 3:00

I see SPJ like basically doing the Arsenio with his with his fist. Yeah, it actually works.

SPEAKER_03 3:06

I just ordered this on Amazon.

SPEAKER_05 3:08

Yeah, those don't work, man. They might work a little bit, but I feel like they don't work.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

The black, the black fisherman friends are elite if you have coughs, like the best.

SPEAKER_03 3:18

Those tunnels and yeah, well, remember, they it doesn't eliminate the cough, it's just supposed to soothe the throat.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

I thought C was gonna get into a whole uh big cough drop uh scenario where why you shouldn't buy cough drops and they're a myth.

SPEAKER_05 3:33

It's true to a large degree. Other than fishermen's friends, I I think cough drops are are they don't dull it enough to matter, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_02 3:44

Okay, another scam.

SPEAKER_05 3:46

We found another scam. Thanks.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

Yet another scam in America. Yeah, big cough drop had to get you. Was the big cough drop coming for you?

SPEAKER_03 3:54

Was that uh did the wish list come out before the show today, by the way?

SPEAKER_05 3:57

No, I did I did not publish the wish list today. I i knew we were gonna go back to gym etiquette to some degree. I I'm like busy sweating my golf bets. I've got two three balls out there. Uh, one's losing, one is winning. I've got my corn fairy tour. Did you see you saw my MC Hammer tweet uh reference, Kaufman? But I don't know that you saw the day before where I called who was gonna win the corn fairy tour event, uh, the uh the Knoxville Open. Cole Hammer, who was doing very well through round one. I'm just throwing that out there. 33 to one.

SPEAKER_03 4:28

Perfect. Stop talking about it. Did you do a first round leader bet on him, too?

SPEAKER_05 4:32

I don't think that market's available for the corn fairy tour. All you can bet on the corn fairy tour is outright, and the messed up thing is you can't even live bet it. Like they won't, the odds are done now. You can't go back in and like hedge or anything like that.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Sean BZ in the chat says, I bought some paper towels yesterday and thought of see you. See that that right there, and I I don't think I am exaggerating when I say this. A comment like that is like the biggest win this show could ever hope for. That in your daily life, out of the supermarket or CVS or wherever you are, you pick up a roll of paper towels and see a najod pops into your brain. Like that's that's a win for no plays off.

SPEAKER_05 5:18

Thorb. Yesterday I was at Little. Does everybody know what Little is?

SPEAKER_03 5:22

Not a clean, never heard of it.

SPEAKER_05 5:24

It's near my gym. I can kind of walk there from the gym, and I bought a package of three sponges so I could do some hand washing. And it was the type of sponge that had the rough, the coarse side on one side, and then spongy side on the other side, just f I. And they were the blue ones, not the green and yellow ones. Those are hard to find.

SPEAKER_02 5:41

Yeah, those are tough to find, those are the rare ones. No, let's not move the goalposts. I didn't say they were hard to find.

SPEAKER_05 5:47

Let's not do that because we can go back to that clip and and talk about what we talked about.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

Yeah, yeah. The good the good news is that uh Sean Beasy bought the paper tabs regardless of your thoughts. And I hope he bought a lot. I hope he bought way too many.

SPEAKER_05 6:01

I bet he bought uh one or two or three rolls less. I bet he was like, you know what? Uh a pack of 10 or 12 is excessive. I feel like I need them, but I don't need that many because Sia taught me a lesson. I'm gonna get a package of three. In fact, I bet you it was a package of three. Let us know, Sean Basy.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Japan. Every time I wear a button-down shirt, I do the top button. I say, shout out, see a Mac.

SPEAKER_05 6:22

That's my man, Japan. That's a true story, by the way. He does do that. I've seen pictures of it. He sells cars and he's really good at it.

SPEAKER_03 6:31

He's really good at it. How do you know? You ever see him an actor? Does he just tell you he's good?

SPEAKER_05 6:35

Well, I do a Discord uh for career building and motivation and things of that nature. He's in that Discord, he's on my Twitter spaces that I hold once every month or so, and he's actually sent me pictures. He's posted them on Twitter with the top button.

SPEAKER_03 6:47

Yeah, I think he's sending you receipts of his car sales.

SPEAKER_05 6:50

Yeah, no, but we talk about it on the Twitter spaces. I don't think you go into a random Twitter space and decide to lie about car sales.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

Yeah, it's like when uh a capper on Twitter says they're they're really good at betting. They usually always are.

SPEAKER_05 7:04

Yeah, well, there's incentive to say you're really good at betting because you're trying to get people to follow you and pay for your service. It's not an incentive to go on a random Twitter space and be like, I sell a lot of cars. Will you please move to Tennessee so you can buy a car from me? Not a thing.

SPEAKER_03 7:17

Tell your friends. I mean SPJ's in Tennessee. I mean, not right now, but generally. We'll get you a new Kia.

SPEAKER_02 7:27

SPJ, just a nice old Kia, Kia 4K. Is that a is that a type of Kia?

SPEAKER_00 7:32

That is that is a Kia. Good job.

SPEAKER_05 7:34

I drive a Kia, tell you ride. Those are great cars.

SPEAKER_02 7:39

Name another type of Kia.

SPEAKER_05 7:41

Kia Stinger. Those are really great cars, too.

SPEAKER_02 7:44

Actually, never heard of that in my life.

unknown 7:46

Oh no.

SPEAKER_05 7:47

Yeah, it came out like 10, 12, 10.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

Yeah, it sounds sweet.

SPEAKER_05 7:52

It's actually really nice. It's it's so much different than like what you think of as a normal Kia. It's like nice. That's not a bad car. That's not a bad car right there, the Kia Stinger.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

Yeah, how do you guys feel like just the look aesthetically? How do you feel about the direction a lot of cars have moved from you know having door handles, like the physical handle you wrap your fist around and open the door versus the button that you push to open the door? But the smooth facade.

SPEAKER_02 8:21

Yeah, I'd be anti-button too, for sure. Anti-button, strong anti-button.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

Anti-button. I think anti-button looks really nice, though.

SPEAKER_02 8:29

Hmm. No, I need to open my door. I don't want to press it open. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 8:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:35

Things could go wrong with a button.

SPEAKER_05 8:37

That's what I was gonna say. Things can go wrong with a button. Yeah, they don't go wrong with door handles on a car, at least. Shouldn't push to start key is a different conversation, though. That I'm cool with, obviously. Yeah, I don't need it on the door.

SPEAKER_02 8:53

How about those fucking Nicks, huh?

SPEAKER_03 8:58

Series O'Goin. Uh it sweep sweep, gentlemen, sweep. How fast is this gonna go? How mentally broken are the calves?

SPEAKER_02 9:05

I wouldn't even show up again. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it. That's it.

SPEAKER_05 9:10

When you were down 22, what was your thought in that moment, Thorpe?

SPEAKER_02 9:15

How much did you bet on the Knicks live? I didn't do it at all. I I I stray from betting them a lot, actually. Now I get too scared. Um, but I'll tell you my reaction throughout the whole game. So the last like seven games, I've watched the games with like they were the easiest watches I've ever had in my life. Like, so like first quarter we were down a little bit, didn't really care. I was like, whatever. Second quarter, they started going up. I was like, okay, probably gonna win. And then third quarter, I got very depressed and then just assumed that it was all out. I was watching it with my dad actually, and then we we were just like, okay, well, actually, the second my dad came, we were up eight, and then they instantly started getting demolished. So I kind of told him to leave, but he did not leave, he stayed throughout the whole thing, and I didn't even really care anymore. I was like, All right, we're starting 01, it's not the worst. And then that was quite literally one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Brunson's a dog, and Brunson was actually playing horrible, not horrible, but like pretty bad to his standard before that, and then just didn't miss a single shot. It was beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

Well, there's seven and a half minutes left, you're down 22. At what point did your attitude turn to where it's like, okay, you know, now there's three minutes left, they're down five. I don't know, I'm making it up. But at what point did you say now there's just no way they're losing this game? Never thought they were gonna win. Really?

SPEAKER_02 10:31

Never, yeah, even in overtime. Overtime, yes. Over once once it got there, I was cool. But um, yeah, never thought they were gonna win. I thought that foul on Kat when OG was driving to nobody, there was just nobody there. And one of the dumbest things he made he commits the dumbest fouls I've ever seen in my life all the time. All usually in the first quarter, he'll get like three off the rip off ball. He he is a moron. Mostly I love him, but he's a moron. And that was I once that foul happened, I was like, game over. He just ruined the whole thing.

SPEAKER_05 11:03

You know what's interesting about that though? He pulled, he pulled like who who whose arm did he end up pulling? I don't remember who it was, but it was obvious. And it was an obvious foul, and it was a dumb foul. He started to complain right after for a little bit, and then I think he just dropped it because he was like, Yeah, I probably pulled that guy's arm. That happened to Wemby six, seven times yesterday. Was it called once? Once, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

Okay, see, get him, get him, see ya. What else?

SPEAKER_05 11:33

Hardenstein literally pulled Stefan Castle's hair so fast and so hard that his neck and head snapped back like he had just gotten in the worst rear-end collision of his life. Refs looking right at it. Yeah, no call. No call. Harrison Barnes doesn't even set a screen, he's just kind of standing there. And who was it? Caseen Wallace literally just attaches himself to him and then flops backward. It was Isaiah Joe, like a cartoon, like an actual, like old school cartoon character foul on Harrison Barnes at a critical point in the game. What the fuck are we doing? What are we doing? What is this?

SPEAKER_03 12:15

That could be the first time in the history of this show we've gotten a curse word out of Sia. Yeah, what are we doing?

SPEAKER_02 12:21

Okay, see, it gets to him, man. It gets to him.

SPEAKER_05 12:24

Shouldn't they get to everybody though? Like, why is why am I the only person that's talking about this?

SPEAKER_03 12:29

Haven't you guys tell him see you? Tell them see you. I just like it. I just really like it. Have you seen the like 45-second SGA foul baiting uh video that's been going around the last couple of days, too? Just all the flops. It's getting harder to defend, even as even as someone who is an OKC defender as compared to USB J and so many others, it's getting harder to defend with some of the crap that's getting called for him.

SPEAKER_05 12:54

It's not good.

SPEAKER_03 12:55

It's bad.

SPEAKER_05 12:56

It's not great.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

I am happy the thunder won last night, though. I want like I want the Spurs to win. I got a ticket on the Spurs to win, all that. I want a brawl. But I want a I want a series. Like I didn't want them to go up 2-0 in OKC. I I like that it's a best of five. I want this thing to go six or seven. I want I want a good, fun, meaningful series, really on both sides, and then the West inevitably kicks the crap out of the East. Sorry, Thorpe.

SPEAKER_02 13:26

Hey, shut up. Um, also, uh for obvious reasons, I want those teams to kill each other in seven games. Sure. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 13:35

Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_05 13:38

If you're a Knicks fan, who would you rather play?

SPEAKER_02 13:41

I don't know at this point. It was always the Spurs to me, and now I do not know. Now I do not know. And frankly, I don't care. Because like they're both really good. You just beat either one of them.

SPEAKER_05 13:52

So how many games to do the Knicks dispatch uh Cleveland and two?

SPEAKER_02 14:02

Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_05 14:03

Yeah, they're gone.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Uh what is the ale spread?

SPEAKER_05 14:08

Six and a half, I think. Might might be seven and a half at this point. I'm not a hundred percent sure.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

I I mean it depends how they come out. Like, if they I would almost wait, because if they come out and look ready to go and they're actually because I would just be so demoralized, man. Like that was so bad. That was so bad. That was like the it was like what uh in the face was in it to us.

SPEAKER_03 14:34

And no dick. I'm not feeling better.

SPEAKER_05 14:36

Five and a half now. Yeah, why is that? Why would it drop a full point?

SPEAKER_03 14:40

Minus 108.

SPEAKER_05 14:41

Is OG Ananobi out or something? Is some is there an injury?

SPEAKER_03 14:44

I haven't seen the injury news. I don't believe.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

I can I can do a quick he played it like a lot towards the end of the game. He didn't play a lot during the game and then played the entire end of it, and I think like all of OT, which I thought was interesting.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

I'm worried for either team. No, clean cheats.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

Spooky, ain't it? I usually wait till I can get Nick's money line because I don't like to because I'm not gonna be upset or I don't want to be upset that I lost money and they still won, but they didn't cover. I don't want anything to do with that. So I'll take I'll take them if it gets to a money line thing, but I thought they were completely done and absolutely zero chance to win, so I never did it. Wish it did. Wish it did, would have been cool. People got rich off of that.

SPEAKER_05 15:27

Jason Harrods. Jason Harris says the line might have moved because Harden is out, which of course would help the Cleveland Cavaliers. That's the trend.

SPEAKER_02 15:37

Yeah, I saw I saw a funny tweet about um when he when he got five fouls, the Knicks were just praying he would never he would not get the six.

SPEAKER_05 15:44

Yeah, I retweeted that actually. Uh I forgot what it was exactly. It was the tweet of the night.

SPEAKER_03 15:49

There's uh you know that that trend that goes around like someone says something and they respond with a picture, and what's that mean? Like that that thing. Somebody's sent the James Harden one, and he's just like he's he's just going like this, something like that, on the court, and it's like you know, hey, could we like can we get it on tonight? And you send the picture of James Harden. What's that mean? Means I'm not gonna stop you.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

But to to be fair, like Brunson hit shots that should not have been hit. Like he he he was hitting backboard on like angles that I've never like, it was crazy.

SPEAKER_03 16:29

So bad, they'll never shoot worse. I don't know. I couldn't miss in the last five, six minutes. It was all hard.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

It was it was all just him ISOing Harden, which they let him do for far too long, but like they also probably thought this game was wrapped up too. They just needed to not be stupid about it because they weren't like running out clock too much either. It was it was weird, and also Mitchell didn't shoot at all at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_05 16:51

Right, they were ISOing Harden on the other end, like on offense, and it's like Donovan Mitchell's on your team, like he should be honest sometimes, too.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

Yeah, it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

Pretty good. Do you guys feel like the outcome of this series will have any impact on where Giannis ends up getting traded this offseason?

SPEAKER_05 17:12

No.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

Like I I could definitely see a world where if the Cavs do lose to the Knicks and they just continue in this sort of panicky trying to year by year reinvent themselves to take that next, you know, next leap, extra step, which they just did, you know, in getting out of the second round finally. But ultimately, Giannis is gonna dictate wherever he wants to go. This is the way it works, anyway. If he wants to go to Miami, he'll go to Miami. But you know, if he does want to go to a contender and stay in the East, these two teams are obviously in that conversation. You could see him going to Cleveland as part of a Evan Mobley package or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 17:55

I don't know. I can't really see him going to Cleveland. Can you see it? I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 17:58

No, so if you have been in Milwaukee your whole career and you finally get out, you ain't going to Cleveland.

SPEAKER_03 18:05

Well, I'm not saying he'd want, like he'd desire Cleveland, but I don't know. He's not going there.

SPEAKER_05 18:11

All right.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

If they offer his compelling package, and he's he's gonna go to a big market.

SPEAKER_05 18:16

Like I he doesn't have a no trade clause, does he?

SPEAKER_03 18:19

He might go.

SPEAKER_05 18:20

I mean, even I think he's going to Miami or New York or LA, like one of those.

SPEAKER_03 18:26

So you know, New York, Miami, like you said. I I do believe he wants to stay in the east. I don't think he's going to the west, and I certainly don't put any credence into the Boston stuff. So I think it's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Miami would be cool. I could watch that big old freak. You know what I mean? Well, it'd be yeah, it'd be cool for you because you'll be there, but he wouldn't win shit. No.

SPEAKER_03 18:49

What do you mind? They could do some weird shit. They'd have nothing there to work with. Be him and bam. That's it.

SPEAKER_05 18:57

Well, then might have to give up BAM.

SPEAKER_02 19:00

Maybe I don't know. He can drop 83 on a whim. That guy's Adam.

SPEAKER_05 19:06

Uh changing the subject, you have uh NFL's schedule reaction.

SPEAKER_03 19:11

Um not an overwhelming one. I mean, it's the like I nine international games is absurd, you know. That's just for the almighty dollar. Has you know, these fans in these various countries, continents don't really give a shit. This is just the NFL chasing money, and then you know, we've got I I don't even know how many dozen primetime games across obviously Monday, Thursday, but we've also got Wednesday and we've got Friday and we've got Saturday. Like the number of island games throughout this schedule is a record, it's nuts. But general team win totals when I scanned the board, I didn't see anything outrageous, no like huge, perplexing outliers. What about you?

SPEAKER_05 20:00

Well, there's some rest advantage stuff that I think is gonna hurt a lot of teams. But Thorb, are you going to any of the Dolphins primetime games?

SPEAKER_02 20:09

You you silly man. I I care so little about the Dolphins. I have not looked at their schedule for a single second. Haven't looked at all. Four and a half or five and a half. I think it's four and a half. I don't know that either. I don't I don't know that either. Um, so how do you guys feel because there's a lot of talk of the all these island games, right? Whether they're like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Are you guys a fan of that or not a fan of that? Because I certainly have a take.

SPEAKER_03 20:40

I think it's I'm gonna be a hypocrite. I like uh surface value, like you asked me today, May 22nd. I think it's incredibly stupid. We don't need the NFL every night of the week. But I promise you, when football season gets here, I'm gonna want football games every night of the week. So that's how I feel about it.

SPEAKER_05 21:02

Yeah, that's the same opinion. I mean, I I like games as much as possible. I don't think it's good for the players, though. There's a lot of really good teams that are at a disadvantage because they're really good teams. And what I mean by that is they're featured in a lot of these games, but they have to kind of like cram them into a part of the schedule that they shouldn't be crammed into, and they have these terrible rest advantages, like the Chargers, for example. And I this is from Warren Sharp, but I'm pretty sure they have the worst rest advantage in the entire NFL. This is a team that I thought might have like a sneaky Super Bowl, you know, AFC contender spot, but they've got a tough schedule and they have the worst rest advantage versus every other team in the NFL. Uh, it's not great.

SPEAKER_02 21:44

Okay. I would say give me a game Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I don't really care. And I don't know, I I don't personally, I'm not friends with any of these players, you know. Yeah, I'm not a player safety guy. You know, do whatever you want with these guys, you know. I don't know. Um, so yeah, I'll take I'll take as much games as I possibly can because when you're just sitting there on like a on like a Wednesday night and you get you ain't got shit going on, you're like, wow, it's pretty sick. We that we got an NFL game on tonight, you know. That's cool. That's cool. The fucking I was gonna I was thinking of bad teams just to say like a very bad game, and I meant immediately was gonna say Jaguars. So just that's where my mind goes. I guess they're not bad, but that's just how much I don't like them. So he agrees.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

Use SPJ's Titans. He's in the chat, says the Titans play every Sunday at noon, which you know, weird central bias. One o'clock for us East Coast people, uh, or Eastern people. Titans play every game Sunday at noon in a weird way that's actually really helpful for a team. You agree?

SPEAKER_05 22:46

Oh, I mean, it's not there's nothing weird way about that. That is the most helpful thing you could possibly have is an NFL team. I mean, it's you're on your routine, your rest is good. Uh, I don't know where they are on the rest advantage on the schedule, like strength of schedule wise, they're in the top half, easiest schedules, like right, right, kind of in the in the middle. I mean, the question about the Titans is does it matter? How how good is his team? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 23:11

I think it's nice. I've been pieces if you believe in Cam Ward taking another step with Brian Dayball.

SPEAKER_05 23:18

I have a theory on Cam Ward. Okay, and it's all gonna fall on it's all gonna file on uh Dayball, unfortunately. I don't think Cam Ward's a great NFL quarterback. I'm not saying he's terrible, I'm just saying for a number one pick, I don't think he'll ever like come close to living up to anything that resembles that. Okay, and I go back to my his my I don't I'm not looking at Tennessee like first year, his his days in Miami. Of course, he didn't spend his whole career there, but I I just didn't I never thought he was like a top NFL type quarterback. I thought his decision making under pressure in particular was was pretty bad. Now they've helped him a little bit this year, so we'll see what happens. I hope I'm wrong because I think Cam Ward's a great dude. I just I don't think that team is gonna be good anytime soon.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

Yeah, he could he could be very fun, but he's a risky boy, ain't he? SPJ.

SPEAKER_00 24:14

See, I loved you for the thunder take. I was really with you on that. And uh that that ships out real quick. So undid it all. When just uh, you know, yeah. No, I mean I I could talk about this for a long time. Obviously, it's just gonna totally hinge upon his development this year under Bray Ball's Dayball's system, like you said. Uh, I am a biased fan, so I think that he flashed a lot last year. And I don't think a lot of people actually watched like 60 minutes every single Sunday of Titan football. So there's not a lot of people that like sat and had to endure that. I know, right? Had to endure that insufferable pain for an entire season like I did last year, but he actually did get a lot better at the end of the season, was top five in a lot of statistical categories against some really good defenses down the stretch, even though it didn't lead to wins. So maybe he ends up being okay. But I was with you. I didn't like I didn't love the pick when they originally took him because I didn't like his college tape that much, but he proved me wrong last year, and I think he has a chance to be really good. But time will tell. We we shall see, and I understand the take. But I'm with you on the thunder. Fuck the thunder.

SPEAKER_05 25:10

There we go. See, a lot of f bombs today. Big cheesy in the chat says sometimes you got to take C as NFL QB takes with a grain of salt. Of course, going back to my list, which was 100% accurate.

SPEAKER_03 25:22

Call we should do that on a show, it'd be fun.

SPEAKER_05 25:26

My list had 100% accuracy rating. Apparently, it didn't.

SPEAKER_02 25:31

Go to big cheesy, go to big cheesy. You suck, in your opinion, you'd suck.

SPEAKER_05 25:35

He also says he's a he's a pretty smart guy. He said Donovan, he said Donovan Mitchell over 27 and a half points tonight. That line seems high.

SPEAKER_03 25:44

He'd better. I mean, honestly, like who else is gonna reliably give you secondary scoring? You know, you James Harden, revenge. You can't count on Harden at at 36 to drop 20. Maybe Mobley will, maybe Allen will, maybe Struuss will, maybe Merrill will. But there's no reliable guy outside of Mitchell. Mitchell, if they if they want to win, if they want to even this up going back home, he'd better drop 30.

SPEAKER_05 26:10

Yeah, but that's or at least if they want to win, is not that's not it, that's not a take, though. If they want to win, he's got to drop 30, is not a take on the 27 and a half. I'm just saying 27 and a half is is a pretty high number.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 26:24

I so you like the overs, you like the over as well.

SPEAKER_03 26:27

I think if it were like if you said to me what's his points prop, maybe I would have guessed 26 and a half. Point is I would have game one. Okay, so point is I would have been in the ballpark. I don't think 27 and a half is an egregious number. I would take the over, yes.

SPEAKER_05 26:44

Big cheesy says Harden will be focusing on defense tonight. That's not a thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:50

Can I can can a brother get a OG three line? That's what I want to get at. That's what I want to get after. Let me look that up. Point five. I'm gonna ladder it too.

SPEAKER_03 27:00

Uh well, I bet you unrelated to this series. We just get an update from Shams that Jalen Williams uh day to day with his hamstring issue.

SPEAKER_05 27:09

So non-factor. I think that Dylan Harper, I mean, he's good, but I'm just saying, like, I don't think it material materially changes the prospects of them winning that series without Jalen Williams, which I understand is like a crazy thing to say. They won last night, yeah. But that wasn't because of Jalen Williams, and he wasn't good in game.

SPEAKER_03 27:27

No, but that's my point. They won without having him.

SPEAKER_05 27:29

Exactly. So the Dylan Harper thing, I think, is a really big deal. I think even Dylan Harper's a bigger deal than De'Aaron Fox for San Antonio. I think De'Aaron Fox is like very overrated. If Dylan Harper's not playing for the next two games and De'Aaron Fox is like 75% off his ankle, I think that's a big problem for the Spurs. And I love the Spurs in this series.

SPEAKER_02 27:53

I like Dylan Harper a lot, by the way. Sorry, I'm I'm also looking at uh I've been reading. What do you got?

SPEAKER_05 28:01

So let me guess. Two plus is plus one.

SPEAKER_02 28:06

You're way off. So you're just so significantly off already. It's not plus? No. Okay, so three plus two plus is heavily minus. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 28:15

Three plus is plus one. 27.

SPEAKER_02 28:21

148. Price is right, rules. Take it big. Oh, yeah. See it? You suck, your take suck, and you're ugly.

SPEAKER_05 28:29

What did you say?

SPEAKER_02 28:30

I said 140.

SPEAKER_05 28:32

Oh, nice. Not bad.

SPEAKER_02 28:35

Great ladder opportunity, let me tell you. I gotta say, how many minutes did he play last game? I'm gonna I'm gonna deep dive into this. I'll be back. Sure, yeah. You just take your time.

SPEAKER_05 28:44

Yeah. Spurs minus one and a half game three, Adam. Your thoughts. Assume Dylan Harper's not playing and assume Jalen Williams is not playing. Assume De'Aaron Fox.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

I guess is questionable until they rule him out again. Yeah. Give me OKC.

SPEAKER_02 28:59

Sorry, I'm not Adam.

SPEAKER_03 29:01

Yeah, I mean I just it's it's uh I wouldn't bet it. I'll put it that way. It's a stay away spot for me, and I will be heavily rooting for the Spurs. But I guess if you you know gave me a hundred bucks and forced me to place the bet, I would take the thunder.

SPEAKER_02 29:20

OG's 34 minutes. OG played 34 minutes last game. That's too many minutes coming off the hammy. That's settled down, but also that three line automatic now. It's automatic, purely automatic.

SPEAKER_03 29:32

Do you continue to mind shaft unders on home grin points? Is he just going to be a non-factor in this series? The line is getting lower every game. I think it's 13 and a half for this one.

SPEAKER_05 29:44

It was 13 and a half for game two. I thought because I did a show, I did a show earlier today at 12. I'm I'm pretty sure it might have even gone up. It might be it might be the Jalen Williams factor, it might be 14 and a half. I'll look. In which case, yeah, I do like the under. I think San Antonio wins game three. I I do think this comes down to the refs a little bit. Like I in San Antonio, I don't think the official yeah, 14 and half. I don't think the officials I think they're gonna be keying in on some of the cheap stuff on Wemby down low, like that that Harden Stein was doing. I don't think they're getting the flop calls, they'll get some of them, but I don't think they'll get a majority of them. I don't know. I I I think the officiating because San Antonio is at home, kind of skews San Antonio's way.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

I feel like the first game was called very solidly, correct?

SPEAKER_05 30:29

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Yeah, yeah. I thought this was gonna be like kind of let the boys play situation situation, and then uh I mean, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 30:36

It was, and then in game two, they really let them play, and they were like, I mean, you saw all the ones where they were like just pulling on Wemby's arm under the basket.

SPEAKER_02 30:44

I mean, yeah, I mean to a certain extent, because I I prefer that type of calling, but you know that I mean at that point you should you should try to foul a little more yourself, you know, give that a go.

SPEAKER_05 30:54

But yeah, I don't know away from home, it's tough.

SPEAKER_02 30:57

It is tough, it is tough.

SPEAKER_03 30:59

I know we've been uh bouncing around what we do here on the show. I'm gonna take another cough drop. I'm gonna pull this back to the NFL for a second. I know the answer is no from Thorb, unless you surprise me. But see ya, how how deep a gander have you taken at week one lines? Anything that you can invest in early?

SPEAKER_05 31:16

No, so funny enough, I did a segment on week one lines uh a week ago, like right when the schedule came out. Yeah, but I personally didn't because I'm looking it up right now. I personally didn't pay much attention to it, like I didn't really look at it myself. Is there anything that looks good for you? Because I'm gonna look at it in a second.

SPEAKER_03 31:33

So I wrote an article for fantasy life, actually, with my favorite week one plays, and yeah, thank you. And I gave out uh you can you can find it, it's available to you on the internet. Just search it. Um, I gave out five plays that I like for week one.

SPEAKER_05 31:50

Are they all against the spread or some totals?

SPEAKER_03 31:52

All spread. I did a I'm not a I'm not a big totals better in the NFL to begin with. That is uh that's very that's very week to week for me.

SPEAKER_05 32:02

If I'm not either can can I guess some of the ones as I as I look live, can I guess some of the ones that you might be on?

SPEAKER_03 32:08

Absolutely, and I'm gonna pull up my article because I am not a thousand percent sure I remember them all. No, I remember them all. I do.

SPEAKER_05 32:15

I I see the Rams minus two and a half. Is that one of yours?

SPEAKER_02 32:18

Yes, yeah. I figured it would be okay.

SPEAKER_05 32:21

That's Thursday.

SPEAKER_02 32:22

The Seahawks play like some bums, and they're only four and a half. That's a pretty good one.

SPEAKER_05 32:27

Three and a half at DraftKings, Adam.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

That was not one of them.

SPEAKER_05 32:30

You avoided the your New England Patriots.

SPEAKER_03 32:32

I did, yeah. Shocking. Listen, I'm waiting for. I mean, everyone and their mother knows that AJ Brown is going to be a Patriot by then, too. So I don't even want to get involved with that line right now.

SPEAKER_05 32:44

I do feel like three and a half. Oh, Bengals three and a half.

SPEAKER_03 32:47

No, I mean, I'm not saying I don't like it, it's just not one of the plays I gave out.

SPEAKER_05 32:51

No offense, but it but if we were chasing some some lines that looked real good that could be sucker lines, you might be taking the Bears on the road minus two and a half at Carolina.

SPEAKER_03 33:01

Uh yes, yeah, okay. Two for two so far. That is a sucker line. Yeah, again, you're targeting market inefficiencies at this point, fellas. Saints plus seven. No, I don't believe in the Saints. I don't believe in Kellen Moore, I don't believe in Shuck. I don't believe no, I don't believe in no.

SPEAKER_05 33:21

Here's the next one because you're not gonna just take favorites because you'll lose credibility. Sure, yeah. Steelers are at home laying three, you're on the Falcons plus the points. Yeah, three for three.

SPEAKER_03 33:32

Well, that's good. It's pretty impressive. Do we think he's do we think he's just reading my article?

SPEAKER_05 33:38

That's funny. Okay, so this is what I'm looking at. I'm literally looking at the draft. Okay, that's really funny if I was like trying to sell it like that.

SPEAKER_03 33:48

Um, wait, no, no, this one's a long shot. Hear me out, hear me out.

SPEAKER_05 33:54

Let me give you a reason, too. I'm guessing you would have avoided the Titans Jets game. Let's go to so the Packers are minus one and a half at Minnesota. I don't know about that. All right, are you laying are you are you laying the points with the Chargers minus 11 and a half? No, it's too many points, isn't it? Too many points.

SPEAKER_03 34:18

Yeah, can't go four for well I I think I would have gone four for four, but spread right now.

SPEAKER_05 34:23

Yeah, I I I didn't want to take too much time. I like what the show to flow, so I'm kind of rushing my my fourth and fifth here, but yeah, I'm kind of down to the end.

SPEAKER_03 34:31

So yeah, you're running out of choices.

SPEAKER_05 34:37

Hmm. Cowboys on the road?

SPEAKER_03 34:39

I feel like he's gonna fan the Giants. That's that's where I was gonna go. You want me to just tell you at this point? Sure, yeah, you can tell us at that point. Broncos plus three at Kansas City. That's what that's what I was looking at.

SPEAKER_02 34:51

Why didn't you guess? Where was your guess at? Well, I was trying to think of what you like, dude. I don't know your brain.

SPEAKER_05 34:57

So on DK, that's in I'm just saying on DK, that's two and a half right now, but I'm sure it's three in a lot of other places because it's even money. So I didn't see the three, but I I like that.

SPEAKER_03 35:06

I'd be thinking that. This one, like I I like to when I do something like this, I like to you know come up with my thoughts, put my article out, and then Google around and see what other articles say and see if people think the same way. This one seems to be somewhat controversial compared to other people's early plays. I have Bill's moneyline. A lot of people like the Texans in this spot. I've got Bill's moneyline as my other play.

SPEAKER_05 35:31

Oh who's at home?

SPEAKER_03 35:34

Uh Houston.

SPEAKER_05 35:39

Yeah, I like the Texans. That defense is so loaded.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

That's great defense, it's too good. Can't can't deny that. But it's very hard for a defense to repeat this the shit they did the year before. It always is.

SPEAKER_05 35:50

That's true, but I don't know that that's the case. Like with elite defenses like Houston, who I don't think really lost anybody. I don't know, maybe they did. I gotta go back and see.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

They probably nobody meaningful. I'm also cautiously high, if I can frame it that way, on DJ Moore with Josh Allen.

SPEAKER_05 36:09

Oh, you really yeah, they're gonna use him like Khalil Shakir, are they not?

SPEAKER_03 36:15

Kind of the same type of player, but better, yeah, like more down. He's a better player. Obviously, he's a multiple-time thousand-yard guy in the past. I don't know that he's gonna still be that guy approaching 30, but this is the closest thing that Allen has had to a viable number one since digs. You know, Shakir's not that guy, Shakir's a you know, 700-yard guy. I I think that you know, DJ Moore can give you a thousand yards.

SPEAKER_02 36:39

It's hard for me to know how good DJ Moore is because the Bears' offense was very weird. Yeah, uh, yeah, I mean he got buried there at the end, too. Yeah, but that could be saying something, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:50

Yeah, it could absolutely. But again, you want to see one way to find out he's not a dunes, he's not Loveland, he's not you know, burdened even. Like, that's okay. But look at the Bills' offense and what they have to work with. It's Allen, it's cook, it's Kincaid to a degree. Like, you know, in terms of pure pass catchers, you got nothing. It's Keon Coleman revenge year. Oh, get excited. Yeah, boy, is he good? What a pick. But I didn't but listen, I didn't bring up this topic just to give you my five. I was curious if you guys saw anything on the board that you liked.

SPEAKER_02 37:25

Oh, well, we just kind of look. Uh um, I don't want to.

SPEAKER_05 37:30

I I initially like the Rams, but uh I don't want to take that one because Kyle Shanahan like sometimes has Sean McVay's number, and he's presumably healthy going into the season. So I don't know. If anything, I might be on like Niners money line, but I like the Rams too much to bet that. I don't know. I I think uh the Colts plus three and a half at home against the Ravens speaks to me. If Daniel Jones is ready. That's a lot of points for a home team.

SPEAKER_02 37:58

I wouldn't want to fuck with a healthy Ravens, though.

SPEAKER_05 38:01

Are the Ravens just are we just gonna talk about the Ravens like we talk about like Thorpe? Who's the golf comp to the Ravens? Where every year we go in, it's like, oh yeah, it's the Ravens. It's Bryson. Like, are the Ravens Bryson?

SPEAKER_02 38:12

And he's just like well, Bryson's won some majors. Yeah, but he hasn't lately. Oh yeah, yeah. I feel like that's unfair to Brys, you know what I mean? Even though it's very it's very funny how he might quit golf to become a YouTuber. That'd be fucking hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 38:25

Are the Ravens Patrick? What Rom? Rom won a major?

SPEAKER_05 38:28

Yeah, Rom's still good. I mean, he was like second place in uh last week.

SPEAKER_03 38:33

Yeah, but the but the Ravens are good, they just don't quite get there.

SPEAKER_02 38:37

I feel like Rom would almost be. I mean, yeah, Rom's basically the same as far as majors the last three years, he's been pretty shit.

SPEAKER_03 38:47

But I just you guys are the bigger golf guys. Has he won a major?

SPEAKER_02 38:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 38:54

He has two, correct?

SPEAKER_05 38:55

I think so.

SPEAKER_02 38:57

He has the masters, and does he have another one? He has to have another one.

SPEAKER_05 39:03

I I think so. I'll look it up. Doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_02 39:06

Um I'm just you know what? I like the bangles. I like the bangles. I feel like Tampa's just on a fucking down spiral. Uh US Open 2022. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 39:16

He has two majors.

SPEAKER_02 39:18

Yeah, so it can't be him either.

SPEAKER_03 39:22

I'll think of the golfer. Best active golfers who have not won a major. He's Russell Henley. Victor, Victor Hovlin. Here, I'll I'll name ten guys. I'll name ten guys. You tell me the one that's closest to the Baltimore Ravens. Oh, dude, it's Ludwig. Victor Hovlin. Ludvigs the Ravens. Ludwig is the Ravens. Ludwig's the Ravens Lake, Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Ludwig, Russell McIntyre, Sepp Straca, Cam Young, Terrell Hatton, Sam Burns. So it's Ludwig.

SPEAKER_00 39:52

I love that Adam decided to read the 10 after you guys said the name of the guy and still.

SPEAKER_03 39:57

I wonder, I wanted to know if he I wanted to see if he was on the list. He was. Spoiler alert. He was on the list.

SPEAKER_02 40:07

That that that sickness can't stop Adam, man. He's gonna keep rolling. Nothing stops my guy. There's no way.

SPEAKER_05 40:16

So this is interesting. Storylines I haven't really dug into, but Big Cheesy likes the Jets week one, moneyline at Tennessee. And that's a Robert Salah situation, right? With Tennessee being the head coach, Jets. Uh that's an interesting one. Big Cheesy says, I will be fading Salah against his former team week one. No one talks about that.

SPEAKER_02 40:35

Yeah. The Jets are playing the team with that really shitty quarterback you're talking about. See, all right, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. What a great one.

SPEAKER_03 40:44

A couple thousand people live watching, Twitch, Twitter, YouTube. Hey, I I got a question I think we can all relate to. This is a this is a real-time question. This is the kind of question you're not playing for, guys. I got a I got a text. Now, I don't know about you guys. I get a lot of spam text calls, all that stuff. Numbers you don't know. Yeah, all that stuff.

unknown 41:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 41:05

I just got a spam text. I well, maybe it's spam. I guess I don't know. It's a number I don't recognize. It is not in my phone. It says, hey, am I texting Adam? How do you respond in these situations? Or do you not? Hell yeah. Say that.

SPEAKER_05 41:22

You say I've never so usually you can identify the the spammers, but in this case, that's an interesting way to approach it. I don't think there's any harm because it could be like uh it could be like a potential employer. Sure, but if if it was, they would identify themselves.

SPEAKER_03 41:41

It feels like if you say hi, this is so-and-so.

SPEAKER_05 41:43

Right.

SPEAKER_02 41:44

It's a bunch of bullshit, and that's pretty evident. But I think you should follow through. If they send you a link, make sure to click it. Um all the way through to that, then you should be all right.

SPEAKER_05 41:55

If it's the IRS, you have to pay whatever they say, like immediately, otherwise you're you're under arrest.

SPEAKER_02 42:00

Did you guys know the scam that uh that almost get didn't almost get me, but uh they said a wedding they said a wedding ring to my house?

SPEAKER_05 42:08

No, no, but I've heard something about this. Go.

SPEAKER_02 42:10

Yeah, yeah. All right. So um, so actually, my buddy, like a few weeks prior to me getting one, he just calls me up. He's like, Yeah, dude, I got an engagement ring sent to my apartment. And I was like, That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. He's like, uh he's already married. Um, so he won he also had to explain that to his wife. Um so he got he got it, and he's just like, Yeah, dude, I just got this and gave it. Like, I don't know. And then three weeks later, I get an engagement ring sent to my house, and then I call him up. We're on FaceTime, it's the exact same box, it's the exact same ring. We're like, what the fuck's going? Like, we thought someone was just fucking with us, like personally, yeah, because like you know, we're very close friends, sure. And I didn't really, I was like, but what's the scam? I I was like, we took apart the box, we try to see if something else was in there, you know. It didn't explode. I thought it was a bomb. He said no, and it didn't explode, so that was good. But I figured out the scam, quick Google search. The scam is so in the in the box, there's also like a card, uh, like to to like verify your not purchase, it was it was something like of that sort with a QR on it, and if you scan it and go through with like the whatever, that was the whole scam and how they got all your information and stuff like that. But very interesting way to do it, especially as a man. Why would you send me uh an engagement ring? That's it. I don't know. There's there's there's better ways, but it was a cool one. Huh? Do you have it appraised? No, I figured it wasn't worth a lot. Uh that was just a guess of mine. It looked it wasn't bad.

SPEAKER_03 43:45

Wasn't bad. That's what I mean. Take it, just take it to the pawn shop, check it out. Yeah, wasn't it? Wasn't a bad ring. Quick quick update. I responded, hi, who was this?

SPEAKER_05 43:53

And oh, you responded.

SPEAKER_03 43:55

Yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_05 43:55

And that was plus one forty.

SPEAKER_03 43:57

Yeah, and the response. No, you it you should. Always assume I'm gonna respond. That's definitely minus money. Uh, there it's clear this is not for me. Hey Adam, it's Hazel, a franchise coordinator. I've been speaking with a few presidents about stepping into franchise ownership without leaving their role. Worth a quick conversation. I think this is where I leave the chat. Sorry, yep. Sorry. So so now it would be plus money on the response. Uh sorry, Hazel. I think I'm I'm gonna pass on this one. This is where the head is.

SPEAKER_05 44:31

Can the chat help us out with funny responses to this?

SPEAKER_02 44:34

Because I would like to mind see where it goes goes with the scam. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 44:38

I wouldn't mind going one extra, you know, just one lateral here. Yeah, keep it rolling. GB pack says GB pack says, uh yes, but I'm gonna need to check for my time. Okay, we need we need more.

SPEAKER_02 44:54

I'm I'm looking for the one that I got the other day. It actually takes over the feed. Nope. Can't send the I got no problem. I got no words from somebody, it was just a picture of a hot chick in a very nice car. And I was like, not bad, but you didn't you can't get me. You can't get me, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 45:15

See, I'm too sharp, yeah, super sharp.

SPEAKER_02 45:17

I'm trying to figure out you're all serious, really. So there is here it is, here it is. Can you see this chick? Look at that, sure. I just said no words. No words, just a hot chick. I said I didn't say anything actually.

SPEAKER_05 45:35

Can you respond now?

SPEAKER_02 45:37

Yes, I can wait. Sure. Should I say uh I have a lot of things though as as the moment passed?

SPEAKER_03 45:45

Uh it was let's see.

SPEAKER_02 45:49

Uh oh, dude, it's yesterday. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:52

You're in the you're in the window for sure.

SPEAKER_02 45:54

I'd say I can't say the things that I want to say. Um okay. You guys got anything good that's less inappropriate than what I'm thinking?

SPEAKER_05 46:03

Um, well, you can do something like super random, like like almost that you like you kind of knew you were gonna get this text. Like you could be like, uh, oh my gosh, sorry I didn't get back to you. Did you pick up the documents? Like just something like super.

SPEAKER_02 46:19

I want to do something. It does look like a nice car. I'm assuming this is just an AI photograph. Um sweet ride.

SPEAKER_03 46:30

Should I ask her to come over? Yeah, what like what are you up to tonight?

SPEAKER_05 46:35

SPEAKER_02 46:40

I want to give them what they want just to see where it goes.

SPEAKER_05 46:43

Oh, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 46:44

You know what I mean? This could be a how far does it go till I get spammed, though? I gotta click something, right?

SPEAKER_05 46:50

Yeah, you'd have to you you'd have to click something. A text is not gonna get you in there, I don't think. I'm safe here.

SPEAKER_02 46:55

I'm safe.

SPEAKER_05 46:56

We'll find out after uh after you text back if you're safe.

SPEAKER_02 47:00

I might click a couple things too, depending on what they sent.

SPEAKER_03 47:02

No, send those links, absolutely. You gotta hit those.

SPEAKER_02 47:05

Yeah, I'll put them in the group chat. We can all get scammed. Yeah, perfect.

SPEAKER_03 47:09

Three musket screams like one for all out of one.

SPEAKER_02 47:12

I just uh I'll be like, I got some friends that like hot chicks as well. We we we can get them in the chat. Yeah, you got any friends? You got any friends for my boys?

SPEAKER_03 47:27

Hey, what's the latest with your wife on the floor, Sia?

SPEAKER_05 47:31

Um on the show, the floor.

SPEAKER_03 47:33

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 47:34

She's done.

SPEAKER_05 47:36

Yeah, they've got like a few episodes left. I mean, she's she's watching it. She's still, you know, she has her friends on the show and whatnot.

SPEAKER_03 47:42

But uh oh, so she's yeah, I mean she's done.

SPEAKER_05 47:46

She's done. She's applying to other game shows. She's in the midst of like applying to the amazing race with Kristen, who was also on the floor and did really well, like episode five or six, was like the $20,000 winner. Super smart, super smart lady. So they're gonna she's gonna do more stuff. She likes the the game show thing or whatever reality show thing.

SPEAKER_02 48:08

Once you get your foot in the door of the game show spear, if you would, you can get in a bunch of them. All you all you see is just people from this from game shows on different game shows, and then then that just continues to happen. Is that her goal?

SPEAKER_05 48:21

It's true. The problem is sometimes there's like waiting periods where if you're on one game show, like you can't be on another one for a certain period of time after it airs. So there's that, but yeah, you're right. There are a lot of people who just like basically apply a bunch and just jump from game show to game show.

SPEAKER_02 48:38

She considered Love Island, Love Island.

SPEAKER_05 48:41

She watches Love Island, I think. There's so many like different love ones, like there's Love Island, but aren't there like like three or four spin-offs of that?

SPEAKER_02 48:49

Dude, dude, there's so many.

SPEAKER_05 48:51

I'm not sure which ones she watches.

SPEAKER_02 48:53

Yeah, my sister watches them all. It's incredible. Yeah, or would go on naked and afraid. I used to watch that in college a lot. Yeah, you thought I would do real good on that. Yeah, you do, real good.

SPEAKER_05 49:05

I don't know what that is. I've heard of it, but I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_02 49:08

You're in a forest, yeah. Literally in a forest, yeah, and then you just gotta live. But sometimes they bring a chick along with you. So imagine that you're naked and not afraid anymore because you got a chick there.

SPEAKER_05 49:25

That's a real thing, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:28

It's a wild concept, dude. I don't know why. Just why they do that. You're naked and afraid. Yeah, guys, I shouldn't have engaged Hazel. She wrote me again. Yes, go fellow up. What did what did she say? Says for context, we helped Tom find a semi-passive franchise in 60 days that he wouldn't have found on his own. It's now giving him a clear path to income replacement and the lifestyle he wanted. Are you open to a quick call? Let's see if we can find the same for you.

SPEAKER_05 50:00

Tell her um call Tom first.

SPEAKER_03 50:03

Yeah, good. Like, could you provide Tom's contact info just as a referral?

SPEAKER_02 50:08

Say just please say who the fuck is Tom.

SPEAKER_03 50:17

Yeah, Jason says, Am I watching your show right now? Hazel says that would be scary. It's just one of the chatters that somehow found my number online and they're pretending to be Hazel. I really want you to take this call. Can you take this call? Do a live interview?

SPEAKER_02 50:36

Yeah, that'd be nice.

SPEAKER_05 50:39

Jason, Jason is asking if uh Gigi has stayed in touch with her floor people. They just had a meetup in Vegas uh like three weeks ago. And a lot of at least half of the floor, I think at least half of the floor uh went. So yeah, she's she's they're on like a WhatsApp group chat together, like all of them.

SPEAKER_03 50:54

So yeah, they're all still. Is Rob low there giving out hugs?

SPEAKER_05 50:58

I don't think so. Only only Gigi and Lorenzo got got hugs on that show. The only two. True story.

SPEAKER_00 51:08

Can I do can I derail you guys and ask you a question?

SPEAKER_03 51:11

Yes. No. Yeah, that would never happen on this show.

SPEAKER_00 51:14

Never. Uh, we've been doing this across all the other shows, and I know I realized that you guys haven't done it, so I wanted to just get your quick thoughts on this. Uh, in honor of the World Cup in Toronto, they're gonna be handing out these condoms all across Toronto. Oh, sure. Uh do you have a preference? Which one would you choose if you had a choice?

SPEAKER_05 51:31

Well, to me, those look like poker chips, so I'll engage.

SPEAKER_03 51:36

Um, I think that mean if they just looked like condoms, you wouldn't?

SPEAKER_05 51:41

That's correct. Top left or top right.

SPEAKER_02 51:45

Okay. Okay. So now, not a big condom guy myself. Don't like them. Um, I really like block these shots.

unknown 52:00

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05 52:01

I didn't even see the words. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 52:04

Fantastic.

SPEAKER_00 52:07

I know Adam, Adam has kids. Adam has Adam has kids, so he's not a big condom guy either. But uh, if you had a choice, big dog.

SPEAKER_03 52:13

Yeah, I think what a finish in the top right corner really speaks to me. Yeah, I think uh I really, you know, like the high five when it's over, really celebrate the occasion. Nice nuts. Okay, thank you. Were those real? Not a condom guy myself.

SPEAKER_00 52:31

100% real. And in a mountain Toronto to celebrate the World Cup. All right now.

SPEAKER_03 52:35

This is like that terrible uh Mark Wahlberg and um can't think of his real name, but the the they just had they just came out with a movie, I think it was on Amazon Prime about uh about it's well it's it starts with Ted.

SPEAKER_05 52:54

It's not he doesn't have a real name, it's just Ted. It's a teddy bear, it's not a person.

SPEAKER_03 52:57

No, not Ted. Although do you guys know that the Ted the Teddy Bear and Ted is not real? Apparently there's gonna be an an animated Ted sitcom because the first no that no there has to be animated. There was a there was a Ted show on Peacock, but it cost too much money or something, despite how incredibly funny and successful it was, they're not bringing it back for a third season. So now there's gonna be an animated one, but that's gonna have Mark Wahlberg again and Amanda, whatever her last name is.

SPEAKER_02 53:34

Was that like his last good movie? His movies suck now. Wah's like Will Farrell, yeah. Well we agree that his movies stink and they stink out loud.

SPEAKER_03 53:47

I'm trying to remember the name of the condom movie. Uh, I'm looking it up. Balls Up with Paul Walt uh Paul Walter Hauser.

SPEAKER_02 53:55

Yeah, I bet yeah, I can tell you that one fucking sucks.

SPEAKER_03 53:57

It was not very good. Never heard that. It's it's new, it's been out for like a month. I don't need to watch that one.

SPEAKER_02 54:04

I don't need it when's his last good movie.

SPEAKER_03 54:07

I enjoy but I enjoy Mark Wahlberg. I'm not gonna say like all the I'm a big Mark Wahlberg guy, but he is falling off a cliff. All right, so you want to you just want to I'm gonna pull up his IMDB. You just want to know like the last time he made a movie that was legitimately good. Correct. All right, it might be Ted. No, it's more recent than Ted. You just it's not like you're watching every Mark Wahlberg movie that comes out, true, because they suck, Adam.

SPEAKER_05 54:32

That's the thing. So it might be Ted.

SPEAKER_03 54:34

Um it's just hang on, takes a second to load here. All right, so I have they're not great, but I happen to enjoy the family plan movies. Um, terrible. Let's see. Uh, the you no, he's a producer in that one. Hang on, let me get the uh just the acting ones. God, he's got five.

SPEAKER_02 54:55

You're not gonna like what you see.

SPEAKER_03 54:56

Uh play dirty, not great. Flight Risk. I didn't see The Union. I've never heard of Arthur the King was good in 2024. That was a good movie.

SPEAKER_05 55:06

Okay, no, it couldn't have been.

SPEAKER_03 55:08

It was a it was a good movie, and it was well repeated. Both of us have never heard of that movie. Me time sucked. Did it just play in Boston at your house? If we did watch my house, exclusive. Yeah, Mark came over with his family, and we all watched it together. Oh, I forgot about the Boston. How about Uncharted in 2022? The one with uh Superman or uh Spider-Man, Tom Holland.

SPEAKER_02 55:33

Tom Holland never watched it. I heard it was okay. I don't know if I'm gonna give him good on that. I don't know if I'm gonna give him good on that.

SPEAKER_03 55:39

Spencer confidential, no, instant family, no. I didn't see Mile 22. Yeah, you never will either.

SPEAKER_02 55:49

Yeah, we're we're back some years now, aren't we?

SPEAKER_05 55:52

Yeah, we're we're basically at Ted at this point.

SPEAKER_03 55:54

Yeah, I mean you're you're close to Ted, you're not far off of Ted.

SPEAKER_02 55:58

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I mean, the last like great movie was probably the other guys, and like Ted, I you know, Ted's like the other guys were great.

SPEAKER_03 56:07

The other guys was an all-timer, you know what was after or about the same time as the other guys was the fighter.

SPEAKER_02 56:13

Also, very good, yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm that's what I'm saying, man.

SPEAKER_03 56:16

I because he used to make what if you what what if we did uh not that this is an end-all be all, but uh Mark Wahlberg Rotten Tomatoes. Let's see, let's see how his movies are ranked. Bat well I I I was more thinking about an order, not an overall assessment.

SPEAKER_02 56:34

Okay, okay, yeah, because I I'll like look, I'll see. I like them, so I look up the movies when they come out, they're all ranked horrifically.

SPEAKER_00 56:43

Adam, would you be defending Mark Wahlberg this much if he wasn't from Boston?

SPEAKER_02 56:46

Thank you. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Thank you. Did you have his Calvin Klein photograph hanged up in your bedroom as a bullet?

SPEAKER_03 56:52

Oh, on the on the ceiling, obviously. No, I just happen to. I enjoy Mark, I don't think my enjoyment of Mark Wahlberg has anything to do with him being from Boston. Like, I don't love by rule Casey Afflack movies. Did you enjoy his funky bunch?

SPEAKER_05 57:10

You had to pick like the D list actor to defend your position. It's so funny.

SPEAKER_03 57:15

I don't watch all that. Couldn't also go to Ben, you know, the other guy. I don't watch everything that BJ Novak is in. BJ Novak. How do I so how's your research going, Adam? Well, I'm trying to rank him and I can't figure it out.

SPEAKER_02 57:33

So I just well, he pretty he's probably not making good movies anymore because he wakes up at um 4 a.m. and golfs at five at like 4.02 and then only plays golf until about 4 59, but plays 18 holes. Did you guys ever see his list of his daily routine? No, it was the biggest lie of all. He said he played golf holes in like 12 minutes. I'm almost Adam, you know what I'm talking about, correct?

SPEAKER_03 58:04

Yeah, I've I've seen yeah, he's he's listening the man lives a full day, he lives a he lives like a 40-hour day in 24 hours.

SPEAKER_02 58:12

It's his company also sponsors Wyndham Clark, which good good job there, idiots.

SPEAKER_04 58:17

All right, so that's hilarious. Yeah, all right.

SPEAKER_03 58:24

So uh it at you have three kings at the top, Boogie Knights, Departed, The Fighter. So that's 2010, Deep Water Horizon 2016, Patriots Day, but that movie sucked. Uh, The Other Guys 2010, all the money in the world. I don't know that movie, but that was 2017, and that's considered a top 10 movie of his. Um, yeah, so bottom line, his movie's I'm I'm looking to see if there's anything in like the last five years and where that sits. And the answer's probably gonna be no. It's not gonna be good, yeah, yeah, yeah. Doesn't feel like we're heading in a good direction there. Ask the lady like Mark.

SPEAKER_05 59:05

Ask the lady who's scamming you what she thinks. Uh, we do have we have another show coming up.

SPEAKER_03 59:09
