Speaker 1 (00:00):
Major story that I think continues to develop that could
get really ugly for the NFL and could potentially spell
the end of Lashawn McCoy's career, or he could be
getting set up. This is one of these early stories
alleging domestic violence and criminal behavior. I didn't share the
(00:21):
images when I when this story started to come down
and started to go viral on social media, because I
think there's a there's a when you're a lawyer, there's
a phrase where the prejudice outweighs the probitive value. When
you see this girl beaten up, I think your natural
inclination when somebody says, hey, I was beaten up, when
(00:42):
you're a girl and you're alleging that a man beat
you up and you see the physical damage that she received,
is to immediately believe he's guilty. So when I saw
those images, I'm like, man, I just don't feel comfortable
sharing these images because you know there's a criminal investigation
going on, and I feel like, once you share the images,
it's hard to unring that bell in the event that
(01:03):
he was not actually involved. But I mean, when you
see these images, like, I don't know what the bills do, right,
I mean, that's I think that's the most challenging thing
we bring in now. John Campbell, he's at odd Shark.
He joins us every single Wednesday morning, UH to break
down everything in the world of sports, gambling and beyond.
And I want to start with you, John, obviously, with
(01:23):
the big game that's gonna be taking place this afternoon.
England trying to punch a ticket, Croatia trying to punch
a ticket. What's gonna happen? How do you play this
game if you are interested in sitting back on your
couch this afternoon having some fun. Well, I think the
odds should be a lot closer than they are. And
England's all plus one thirty favorite here with Croatia two
to one in the draw plus two twenty and I
(01:44):
just think England favored by a little bit too much,
and not probably books protecting against public action. I think
a lot of the money will flood in on England
and they just can't help that. But England hasn't played
a really strong against a really strong field yet, and
I think that is going to be the big challenge
that we're looking for here against Croatia. Cross coming off
(02:07):
a couple of games where they had to play a
hundred and twenty minutes, so fatigue might also be a factor.
I think a lot of people will love both teams
to score, and I can't argue with that, but I
like England to squeak it out. I just don't like
the odds here. If England wins and plays against France
or Croatia does how much of a favorite are we
(02:27):
looking at France being I'm assuming France is going to
be favorite in whoever they play in the Championship on Sunday.
What will that line look like from your perspective? Well,
right now, I saw one book had France as minus
one fifty to win the World Cup, so that will
probably be pretty close to what it will be. England
is plus two fifty right now and Croatia's five to one.
(02:50):
I think that the big knock against Croatia if they
move through, will be a fatigue factor, especially it goes
if it goes to extra time against England, and for
it just looks so strong all over the field right now.
Belgium was having a great tournament and I thought France
just completely controlled that game yesterday, so they should be
the favorite. They will be minus money for sure also
(03:13):
going on, and I don't know how many people are
paying attention to because I feel like it's overshadowed by
the World Cup. Federer had some funny comments about this
because the Wimbledon final could be going head to head
for men on Sunday against the World Cup, and if
England is fortunate enough to advance, England against France would
totally overwhelmed Roger Federer probably against someone else, no matter
(03:34):
how dominant he has actually been. Uh. Federer still alive
and Nadal is still around. Uh Yokovic is still there.
John Isner for the Americans, is having a great run.
He plays at eleven o'clock Eastern our time, trying to
advance to the final four place he's never been before. Uh,
del Potro, all these people. Uh? Is Federer a prohibitive
(03:57):
favorite in Wimbledon right now? Yeah? Federer is minus one
fifteen and he came into Wimbledon around plus one fifty.
But considering the way he's playing, I would have expected
him to be a bigger favorite at this point. He's
held his opponents to just thirty six games and he's
just playing so well. He dusted off Adrian Mannerino in
(04:19):
sixteen minutes in one set in the Is he the
most pause you here for sex? Is he the most
dominant over thirty five year old athlete we've ever seen?
Because to me, Federer's returned to dominance. I don't think
he's lost a set and he's won like sixty three
straight sets. I mean something that's just insane. At Wimbledon
(04:40):
he obviously swept through. I don't think he lost a
set all of last the last title that he won,
and he continues to dominate right now. Um, have we
ever seen an athlete like this at a plus thirty
five performance. I don't think so I did. Maybe I
don't know. John ELWAYM maybe uh yeah, going back, but yeah,
(05:04):
it's but I don't know. I think it's one of
thirty five straight sets, are looking to win thirty five
going back to last year, and he's done some smart things.
He's skipping the place he's in now to uh to
better prepare for Wimbledon, and um, but I don't know.
I think he's one of the best. The level he's
playing at is just insane here and but I think
(05:24):
I think the reason he's not as big a favor
is because Novak Djokovic. He's returning to a level that
that we saw him play at before his elbow injury.
He's four to one. Nadal and del Potro both looking
really good. But I think there's some values here in
the quarterfinals. Uh And and Wimbledon is really exciting too.
I'm gonna have to get right my remote some ready
(05:45):
for for a Sunday because I'll be flipping between Wimbledon
and the World Cup final, no doubt. All Right, the
other big story. He's certainly in the world of odds,
and we're talking to John Campbell at Johnny odd Shark
on Twitter. You can find him there. Uh is Lebron
to the Lakers? The Warriors are a prohibitive favorite. Where
have the Lakers settled now that Lebron seems uh, you know,
(06:06):
as officially signed his contract and it seems relatively clear
in the meantime that Kawhi Leonard is not imminent in
the short term. How is the NBA breaking down? Adam
Silver's out there saying, oh, the league doesn't have a
problem with the Warriors dominance Vegas and the off shores
would disagree. Given how much the Warriors are favored, how
much exactly are they favorite. Yeah, Warriors around minus one.
(06:32):
I saw one book also had the minus two hundreds. Alright,
so pause before we go any further there for people
out there who are here in minus one seventy and
minus two hundred in the off season, that's an insane
level to be favoring a team in any sport. I mean,
there's no other sport where you would have a favorite
anywhere close to that before the season even starts. Yeah,
(06:53):
you're absolutely right. It's it's totally crazy. I can't remember
a team ever being minus money in amaze your pro sport.
Where in my sixteen years working in sports betting, I
just I can't, I can't remember anything like it, So
it's absolutely crazy. The only thing maybe I could compare
it to is Tiger Woods used to be around minus
money or even money sometimes uh in an individual sports
(07:16):
golf back when he was in his crime. That is
maybe the only thing that I could compare that too.
But they deserve to be huge favorites, and I think
they're going to win again. But the Celtics not too
far behind their five to one, Rockets six to one,
and then the Lakers are around five, six, seven to one,
depending on what books do you look at and I
(07:37):
think that number is just absolutely ridiculous. It just shows
how much lebron fever affects these odds here. And before
he went to the Lakers, we we we saw the
Lakers odds drop from twenty five to one, the sixteen
to one, and now down to five till one ish.
But I just don't think there's any value. There is
there any value in Carmelo Anthony. It seems like he's
(07:59):
probably going to go to the Houston Rockets. Do we
think that he makes a difference in terms of Rockets futures?
And if he went to the Lakers, would he impact things?
And at all there? What kind of impact does he have?
I don't. I don't think oddsmakers will give him any impact.
But I think he should make their odds worse because
he just has not been playing well. He's been toxic
(08:21):
to the teams he's been playing with, and I just
don't think he makes any impact. So of anything, I
think the odds should get worse for whatever team he
goes to, but I don't think it will have any impact.
I believe we're gonna be down for some of the
SEC media days, the Southeastern conference official kickoff is next
week in Atlanta. They are getting ready for the start
(08:41):
of college football. To me, it's always the time in
college football where you officially turned the page and think, hey,
it's not too long now until we actually get legitimate
football to talk about. Um, when you look at the
futures in the Big ten, A C C, SEC, Big twelve,
Pact twelve, anybody out there that's really jumping out to you.
I know Alabama's favored to win the championship. I know
(09:03):
you can bet on whether or not teams are going
to advance to the playoff. But to you, what are
you looking at as we come into the season in
terms of numbers, maybe on wins, maybe on odds to
win titles that are are jumping out at you. Yeah,
looking at futures there, there's there are a few teams
that really probably are are in the running here to
win the national championship. But going beyond those guys Alabama, Clemson,
(09:25):
Ohouse Day, Georgia, Michigan, Washington, you can find them twenty
two to one out there, which I think isn't bad.
With consin one returning basically their entire offense. There are
ten wins as well, which I think is a little
bit of a gift. I think they're going to get
eleven this year for sure. So there are some odds
out there. Auburn thirty two one, and I know that
(09:47):
scares a lot of people, obviously going head to head
with Alabama, but Jared Stadhum I thought he was the
best quarterback in the SEC last year and uh, and
they have a great defensive line. So even Auburn thirty
a one, I really like those odds. If you want
to get crazy and go way down the board, there
are a couple that I think might be worth a
(10:07):
long shot. Utah two one. They were young last year.
I think they're gonna be a lot better this year.
I think they're definitely going over seven wins and NC
State one in the in the a CC. They've got
a great offense. They've got to clean up their defense
a little bit. But if you want to take some
lung shots, those ones might be worth a sprinkle. We're
talking to John Campbell at Johnny Odd Shark. Obviously we
(10:30):
started off this show, UH talking a good deal about
Leshawn McCoy and the allegations against him the Bills. I
don't think We're expected to have a very good season regardless,
because they got a three way quarterback battle going with
Nathan Peterman, with a J. Mccaren and with Josh Allen.
But when you hear allegations like those against Leshawn McCoy,
they're obviously insanely serious. But what does the odds market do?
(10:53):
Does it move at all on the Leshawn McCoy news
or does everybody just sit back and you know that
the numbers stay up on line? How do you deal
when it comes to odds making with significant off field
allegations or incidents that may impact a team's ability to
have a star player on the field. Right now, just
with the parody in the NFL, they don't need to
(11:17):
take them off the board. Sometimes they will, and they'll
make slight adjustments. Sometimes they make slight adjustments just for
the media factors so that people talk about the odds
moves and kind of keep the story rolling a little bit.
He's so important to the Bills, of course, and and
probably is worth a little bit there, But I didn't
see the odds come down. If you're Bills fan, obviously
(11:38):
you're watching this one closely builds around one now to
win the Super Bowl might get a little worse uh
in the coming days many things. John Campbell, have a
good uh. The World Cup semifinal game this afternoon. What's
your pick, by the way, what's what? What's your side
today on on England Croatia? If you're gonna play it?
What do you like the best? Oh? Well, I think
(12:00):
my departed grandparents who are from England would come back
from the grave and kill me if I didn't take
England here. So they're both from England, so I'm gonna
go with England. I'll stick with them. I think they're
gonna win to one. Outstanding stuff as always, and we
will talk to you against soon. That's John Campbell at
Johnny Odd Shark. Croatia going up against England. England trying
(12:22):
to win its first World Cup since nineteen sixty, trying
to bring the cup home. They are trying to advance
to play against France and what would be an epic
battle of our thousand year conflict England versus France. Yesterday
Belgium against France. France gets the win. We had World
Cup Trivia brought to you by Danny g. I do
not know the questions. A lot of people out there.
(12:43):
I think that for some reason, I know these questions.
Danny g disabuse them of that notion. Do I know
anything about what you're going to ask me? I don't know.
And why in the world would I help you? Yeah,
like people root against me on this show. They don't
root for me. They want me to fail. They want
me to spectacularly collapse. They are not in favor of
me continuing to prove that I am a stellar individual.
(13:07):
They want me to fail at every turn. So uh,
let's play the music. Cue the music, Roberto, this is
bringing in the final Jeopardy music. I believe there. This
is the World Cup Country Quiz. And the reason why
Roberto brought us back with that Michael Jackson song is
because you were scary good yesterday. Don't think you're gonna
(13:29):
be able to repeat two days in a row. I
went six and two yesterday. Yesterday I had it was
Belgium or France. Today I have to pick whether it's
England or Croatia. England or Croatia. Eight fun facts about
England and Croatia. You have a of getting each one correct?
All right, here we go. Number one, there's a town
(13:50):
in this country that's famous for being the oldest inhabited
city in Europe and is known as a transport hub.
The oldest inhabited city in Europe and it's a transport hub. Well,
I know all of Croatia is on a body of
(14:12):
water of some sort. Certainly much of England is surrounded
by by water as well. I'm gonna say that the
answer here, I don't think that England because I don't
think that England had the longest inhabited village or anything
like that. I know it goes back to Roman times
and there's different. Uh. I'm gonna say, Croatia, you punk,
(14:36):
you got this right than Kovski has been inhabited for
the past eight thousand years and they're known for their railways. Boom,
good start, right here we go, No, you're off to
a good start. One and oh number two. In this country.
Medieval football or soccer as we call it, often led
to injuries and death. Men often drowned during a game
(15:00):
while chasing the ball into the sea. Again, I know
all of Croatia is on the coast. Both both have water,
both have seas next to that. How do we not?
How I mean, couldn't this have happened in both places.
I'm gonna say that this is more likely to be
England because I think that the history of English soccer
(15:22):
and competition would be more widely known than Croatia. So
I'm going to England, you jerk. This is a fun
fact about England. During games in a season, up to
forty men would drown chasing the ball into the North Sea.
It seems like an awful way to go. Not as
bad as finding your wife having sex with her mechanics.
(15:43):
They were talked about it. Now we're serious about their football.
They are all right too. And oh number three, seventy
eight percent of the people in this country claim knowledge
of at least one foreign language. Sounds like you, Well,
we are already established. How well I know French? Seventy
eight percent? See, I feel like Croatia. I well, First
(16:07):
of all, English is the language of the world, So
if you are fortunate enough to know English, you tend
to be lazy and not learn as many other languages.
Whereas if you are a Croatian, I guarantee you that
you can't just spend the rest of your life on
what do they speak Croatian? I don't even know what
the language is in Croatia. I'm gonna go with Croatia.
(16:29):
Seventy eight percent of the people in Croatia claim knowledge
of at least one foreign language. Hate to brag, but
I'm pretty phenomenal. Uh. We gotta find a game that
you suck at. This is not going well. All right,
here we go. Number four. The world's first torpedo was
constructed in this country in eighteen sixty six. Zero doubt
(16:50):
about this. The Industrial Revolution, Uh, the fact that England
was long ahead of every uh, of everybody else when
it comes to devising all sorts of of of kind
of situations. But what year did you say? By the way,
eighteen sixty six. Now I wanna I'm gonna say this.
I believe the first try. I think that your fact
(17:13):
is wrong. I think that the first this was this
was the first prototype of a self propelled torpedo. Okay,
self propelled maybe because I believe the first torpedo was
used in the Civil War to sink uh. And I
think they just recently found some of the some of
the refuge of this, like in the Charleston Harbor I
(17:33):
off the coast of South Carolina. I think that they
had a torpedo that was used. But England is the
answer here? Your first l that this I I'm just
I am. I am asked waking this entire question in
series Rejecca r I j e K A von Lupus
who later changed his name to von K von Lupus.
(17:55):
That sounds like the name of a Lupus is like
a wolf, right l u p p I s he
developed the first prototypes of the self propelled torpedo in
eighteen sixties. I somebody else look up the history of
torpedoes because I think I should get credit for this.
I got this from Croatia's website. Why it's not as
if Croatia's I'm telling you right now the first torpedo
(18:19):
was used in the Civil War. I didn't ask ship.
I didn't ask when was the first used torpedo? I said,
the world's first torpedo was constructed country. Yeah, right, but
constructing sixty six, which was after the Civil War. I'm
disputing this factory. Somebody look it up the first torpedo
even told you it was a prototype of the first
(18:41):
self propelled torpedo before you answered. So I understand because
I was questioning, because I questioned whether this is a
correct somebody, take care if I'm correct with the Civil
War answer. All right, here we go. Number five. In
this country, you can eat love in disguise, which is
just a fancy name for stuffed hearts of cows and pigs.
(19:05):
So haggis, I think is like liver, and that's out
of Scotland, because I remember when I went to Scotland
in college, everybody was like, oh, you gotta eat the haggis.
And I'm not a and when I go to a
new country, I'm gonna try something like we had what
Stu holding on earlier in the week and he was like,
I went to uh, that kind of part of Russia
where they they say that horses a delicacy. I would
(19:25):
not eat horse. I would not eat this. But this
to me sounds like something that's related to haggis, which
sounds like something that would come out of England. You're
correct England. In fact, they're British. Recipe Online says, after
well cleaning stuff of calf's heart, cover it an inch
thick with good forced meat, then roll it in background
(19:50):
there to put it in an into a dish with
a little water and send it to the oven. When done,
serve it with its own gravy in the dish. This
forms a perfect side dish that sounds awful. By the way,
anybody looked up my my torpedo details. No, everybody knows
you're wrong right about. There we go. Number six. You've
only lost one that one, so you're doing better than
(20:12):
I thought. Here we go. The world's first drive through
Safari Park opened in this country in nineteen sixty six.
Nineteen sixty six. That can't possibly be true that that
was the drive drive through Safari. Yes, it's true. It's
impossible that the first one was nineteen sixty six. You're
telling me nobody before nineteen sixty six thought, hey, you
(20:35):
know we should do we should combine cars and animals.
This is ridiculous. The world's first drive through Safari Park
opened in this country in nineteen sixty six. Don't argue
with Alex Trebec. Yeah, we need an official checker of
your facts before we can even get better. All right,
sounds like you're going to take an l on this.
So you're making excuses. No, No, No, nine, because I
(20:56):
don't believe I think that everywhere had to drive through
Safari Park by night. I'll give the name of the
Safari Park after you get this wrong and then people
can look it up. Nineteen sixty six Safari Park. So
the thing that I'm thinking, the reason why I'm pausing
here is I'm trying to think, um no, no, no,
let me explain my rationale. I feel like there would
(21:17):
be danger associated with this, and I feel like the
less developed of a country, the more likely you are
to embrace it. So Croatia, if somebody just got like
a lion just pulled somebody out of a car and
mauled them to death in nineteen sixty six, would be
a lot easier to have happened than that to happen
in England and like the heyday of the Beatles. So
(21:39):
I am going to go with Croatia here. You basically
just called the nation of Croatia a bunch of animals,
and you are wrong. England Long Long Leaked Safari Park
l O n g Eli eight c Long Lead House
in Wiltshire opened in nineteen sixty six and they still
run today. Yeah. I just don't believe this is the
(22:01):
first Safari park. Well you're wrong about that, all right?
What we got? Okay? Number seven Hip hop groups such
as the beat Fleet and Elemental are also now treated
as pop in this country. I think it's gonna be
Croatia because I feel like I would have some knowledge
of the people if they were in English, because they
(22:22):
would have, you know, brought their music here or whatever.
So I'm going Croatia correct. And also the other other
thing I would say is that's the kind of names
that you would get in a foreign country, you know
how like when you know, like we think it's it's
it's almost like the tattoos. You know, if somebody gets
like a Chinese tattoo, uh, and everybody for a while
that was really cool and like the early two thousands,
(22:42):
and if you were Chinese or Asian or whatever, you
were like, yeah, this is so stupid, like what you're
getting tattooed on your arm, Like it doesn't make sense
or it doesn't like translate well. And then you'd see
the euro guys and they'd be walking around like I
remember when I was in europe Um back in back
in college, somebody would be walking around in like a
Russell Athletic sweatshirt, like as if that was like a
(23:04):
really big brand. And remember that, like you'd see somebody
to be like I love America. Look how badass my
Russell Athletic sweatshirt is. So this is like when they
pick a word in Croatia, it's gonna be a word
that doesn't really mean that much to Americans or to
British people. But it's like elemental, you know, it's like,
well that, what do you elemental? Like? It doesn't make
(23:24):
any sense. So anyway, that's my deduction there. What plus
plus England had nana cherry way back in the day.
What am I four and two here? Five and two?
One last question? So are you correct that we only
have one question left here? Because last time you miscounted,
I know yesterday I had notes all over the place.
Today they're on one sheet of paper. So I'm good,
by the way, I'm five and two and disputing both
(23:45):
wrong answers answers that I believe I was correct. Of course,
we wouldn't expect anything less from you. All right, Number eight,
you can match your wind total from yesterday. The next
tie was invented in this country, the neck tie. I
I think this is too easy because my immediate response is,
of course it's England, um, because England people like basically
(24:08):
created the uh, the the idea of dressing up and
like the white collar workforce and everything else. Uh so
I'm gonna go England here and you are wrong. Oh
that's that's a tough one. Yeah see, I would I
kind of think the same thing because of Berbery and
all the great brands there. But Croatia is not only
the home of the next tie. The biggest ever neck
(24:31):
tie in the world, measuring half a mile, was displayed
in Croatia. Took five days to complete. They tied it
around the Poola arena in two thousand three. That's a
tough one. That's a tough one to end on because
I would have liked to have gone six and two.
But pretty good overall. I would say eleven and five overall,
with two disputed answers today, nothing to dispute about them,
(24:53):
but yeah, five and three today. Did anybody look up
my my, my? Uh my story w the torpedo. I'm
very confident on the torpedo existing in civil war? Does
anybody listen to me on this show at all? There
there are two other people on the show. Did anybody
look up the history of torpedoes? I was too busy
(25:13):
taking the quiz. I was playing the home game. Yeah,
give it. Yeah, thanks guys, thanks for thanks for really
lifting a lot here on the show heavy Lifting. I'm
gonna look up the history of the torpedo as well
to verify that I should get credit for that answer,
because I actually identified it. I think it was in
South Carolina. But Eddie Garcia, what's the update? What you
got for us? Well, let's start with the big news
from the NFL where Buffalo Bill start running back with
(25:35):
Sean McCoy is denying any involvement in a domestic violence
case against his ex girlfriend that he was implicated in
on social media. Police in the NFL are looking into it.
The NFL Players Association follow the grievance against the league
over the new national Anthem Policy. The union claims the
policy was implemented without consulting the NFL p A, is
inconsistent with a collective bargaining agreement and infringes on player rights.
(25:56):
In baseball games of note, the Cubs shut off the
Giants to nothing all the Brewers beat the Marlins eight
to four. Milwaukee holds that game an athlete over Chicago
with the top spot of the NIL. Central Dodgers fall
to the Padres four to one, while the Diamondbacks beat
the Rockies five three, So Arizona elits the NLS by
a game and a half on l a semifinal action
that the World Cups of France shut out Belgium one nothing.
It's the third time that France's advanced to the World
(26:19):
Cup Final Day will play the winner of today's Croatia
versus England semifinal matchup that comes up at two pm
Eastern and you can watch it on Fox. This report
is brought to you by True Car online car shopping
and be confusing, but not anymore. With true Price from
True Car, now you can know the exact price will
pay for your next car. So is a true Car
and enjoying more confident car buying experience. Now bout m
clay Travis in the Geico OutKick the coverage studio alright,
(26:41):
like so I get credit for this. During the American
Civil War UH, it's first of all. Torpedoes were used
by the Russian Empire during the Crimean War in eighteen
fifty five against the British warships in the Gulf of Finland.
UH and then during the American Civil War, the term
torpedo was you for the first time and The devices
(27:02):
were very primitive app to prematurely explode. They would be
detonated on contact with the ship or after a set time.
The USS Caro Cairo was the first warship to be sunk,
in eighteen sixty two by a torpedo. Uh. Sports spar
torpedoes were also used. Um they were used by the
Confederate submarine the h L. Hunley to sink the USS
(27:25):
Houston Tonic. Uh So that that happened off South Carolina.
I should get credit? Is their agreement that I should
get credit? Why would Croatia lie about this? And and
what kind of torpedoes were? They were those? Because we
told you these were prototypes of the first self propelled torpedoes,
all right. Here Also it says invention of the modern torpedo.
(27:48):
In eighteen sixty six, British engineer Robert Whitehead invented the
first effective self propelled torpedo. Oh, Ivan vuks is gonna
want to box him? Then? Because all right, so I
they that, like, that's a direct question the British engineer,
it says, invented the first effective self propelled torpedo. I believe,
(28:08):
I said the British there, so I think I think
I get credit for that one. I think, well, let me,
I'll tweet to you from the website that I found
this on and then you can compare the two. This
is says a prototype self propelled torpedo was created by
a commission placed by Giovanni Lupus, an Australian, Hungary and
Garian naval officer from Flume, a port city. Uh. But
(28:32):
he was working in consultation with Robert Whitehead, the English engineer.
So I think I'll get credit here. Uh. This is
a major with the major controversy has emerged in the
in the discussion here, Um, I just am blown away here.
In general, you really want to go six and two
(28:52):
again England they called them torpedoes in the Civil War
even though they were not necessar saily self propelled doesn't.
Then that doesn't make sense because I gave you that
information before you answered the question, right. But the fact
that Britain the guy according to Wikipedia, did you see
(29:13):
Croatia week dot com, which is a reputable source, Yes,
I saw you. They obviously know about the country, they
know about their week. No, they just propagate myths. So
I get that one. We have the bell ding. It
gives everybody on Twitter is on this one, and I said,
(29:40):
I knew that this this Safari park thing. There was
no way. The first Safari park was in Ninetiespia dot com,
which everybody goes to when they I don't even know
what that is. Here's the course you don't you've never
forced to show or a game. One big Safari park.
The entire reason, from a from a tourist perspective, why
(30:04):
Africa exists. White people were talking about Africa if the
choices were England or Croatia. Correct, But the world's first
drive through opened. Drive just tweeted it to you. The
drive through in general in Africa Africa is one big
drive through Safari park. This was in England or Africa.
(30:26):
It was England or Croatia. We're talking about a park
inside either England or Croatia, but the whole country, whole
continent of Africa, many countries, it's a big Safari you.
Pedia dot com says the world first drive through Safari
Park opened at long Lead House in Wiltshire in nineteen sixty.
If it says outside of Africa, that's not what it
(30:51):
says on their website here. Yeah, well, yeah, I understand
why the place in in England would want to claim
that they're the first drive through Safari Park, but literally
many different parks in uh in the in all of Africa.
That's why the idea of the drive through Safari Park
even exists, because so many people go to Africa and
do it. I'm not going to take credit for that one.
(31:13):
The torpedo is more controversial, so I will say six
and two for both days. I'll take that one. Joined
now by Jeff Schwartz. You can follow him on Twitter
at g O F F s C h W A
R t Z. Altogether, that's pretty good spelling by me. Uh, Jeff,
if you came home you don't have any kids yet? Yes?
You you may have read this story already. You found
(31:36):
your wife and she had died of carbon monoxide poisoning
while having sex with the mechanic that was supposed to
be fixing her car. Okay, this is a real story
that happened in New Jersey on Monday night. Would you
in some way be glad that she was dead? Uh?
Probably not. I mean, only you ever wish for your
(31:56):
spouse to be dead. Obviously the cheating would be a dealbreaker,
but I don't think you want her to die at me, right,
I mean, honey, depends on how much money I had
for a life insurance because I don't think I don't
think it's that you could like build the relationship back
up if she's having sex with the mechanics, right, It's
like I don't necessarily wander, did I? But if she
(32:18):
were dead, I don't think I would feel that bad.
I would feel kind of like it was karma, like
like were they like dead on was she like dead
on top of him? Like? There's still so many details
to to oncover the having How long were they having
sex for? It mean, they clearly weren't married obviously, Like
were having sex forty five minutes that you just got
carbon oxide poison in? I don't know, we don't know
any of the details. My big question is did they
(32:40):
both die of carbon monoxide? And I guess you go
to sleep first, but did they both pass out first?
Did they have sex and then they were like in
the post coital glow? Can I say that? I think
I can say that on the radio where they just
like cuddling and then they were like, oh I'm a
little bit tired and the next thing you know, they're dead.
I don't know, so I'm curious, like how this actually
ended up happening. But the man who is still alive,
(33:03):
the husband he arrives home, I think there had to
be a part of him that was like, this is
easier this way, do you think? I think? Another question
is he suspected this happening before. But there's a lot
of questions here, right, So if you suspected this happening before,
or he had already caught her before and she said
she wouldn't do it anymore, and now she continued to
do it, that changes, obviously the way he's gonna feel.
(33:25):
Your first time he walked in on it, he probably
would be a little bit of shock and want like
an answer or to know more things before she passed away.
Here's my argument too, It's not just that she was
having an affair. It's that she was having an affair
with a fifty six year old mechanic because this thirty
nine but so good pull for the mechanic up until
(33:46):
the point where he died. But here's the deal, um,
twenty year younger woman. Almost if you will sleep with
your mechanic, you basically will sleep with anybody, right, I mean,
this is like I've made the argument if you like,
if he had come home and he found his wife UH,
and Brad Pitt had been having an affair with her,
I think you'd have been like, well, it's Brad Pitt, right,
(34:07):
I mean, I think you can be I think if
you are with somebody else and they have an affair
with somebody who's incredibly good looking and incredibly accomplished, you're
more likely to forgive it than you are if it's
like the grocery score, you know, like like, I'm sure
if Tiger Woods his wife had found out that Tiger
Woods had been having an affair with UH, I don't know,
like uh, And I'm just tossing it out there, not
(34:28):
saying it happened with uh. Jennifer Aniston. I think that
that she would have felt differently than when she found
out he was banging the waitress at Perkins, right, Because
if you have an affair with Jennifer Aniston, you can
be like, well, Jennifer Aniston is really good looking, she's famous,
she's sexy. If you bang the Perkins waitress, it basically
means I can't trust my husband anywhere, Like he will
(34:51):
have sex with anyone. Is like Arnold Schwarzenegger having sex
with the with the the cleaner, the house cleaner. It's
like and having a baby with the house clu eater.
Like you can't have an affair with the maid, right
like that unless it's a French maid. And it's like
some like really you know, really high end, incredibly good
looking made, which, by the way, I've never seen. There's
never been a point in time where I've been at
(35:12):
a hotel and I've been like, you know who's smoking hot?
That made the same way like you ever, like you
ever walk into McDonald's and be like, you know who
was smoking hot? The chick who took my order at McDonald's.
Like you can tell a certain way by the job,
like whether somebody's gonna be good looking or not. Like
the front the front check, the front desk girl is
usually at a restaurant, the best looking person in the
(35:33):
in the whole restaurant. There's never been a time where
I've ordered a big Mac and been like, and let
me tell you, this chick was really good looking. Like
jobs oftentimes have attractiveness associated with them, and most of
the time your average made is not a knockout well
radio host. I mean I mean, and we just found
out that I also speak French. So let's be honest
(35:54):
in terms of sex appeal. If you came into your
house and you found your wife having sex with me,
I think you would have to be you thank your
wife for doing it, because I'm just so overwhelmingly high
on the sex appeal rating. But so I'm reading, I'm
reading a story. By the way I put the story up,
this is this is the start of a of a
porn law enforcement story to say they believe the wife
was paying for her car work by having sex with
(36:15):
a mechanic. Yeah, just like this a porner real life. Yeah. Also,
you know, you're a failure when you can't afford to
pay your mechanic and so your wife ends up banging
him Like that's a yeah, well that's the excuse. Yeah,
it's like that. Yeah, It's like the pizza man. I mean,
how often do you think the pizza man actually has
sex with the girl who orders the pizza? Not very
(36:37):
often in porn, pretty high percentage of the time. Same thing,
But like plumber or the or the maleman or the fireman.
If you are a man in a uniform and you
go to a house in a porn movie, you're probably
gonna have sex with the person inside the house you
go to. I would expect nothing less when I imagine,
imagine if you were in the porn movie and you
(36:59):
were like a five fire man going to a house
to put out a fire, and you didn't get to
have sex with the girl, like you were just the
guy and it was just a normal part of the
normal part of the movie. It would be such a
plot twist, Like I thought that guy was gonna have
sex with her, but he really was just showing up
to just be a fireman. And then he turned her,
he put out her fire, and he left. I mean,
that's the kind of thing like record scratch moment in
(37:20):
the porn Like if you were reading the script, you'd
be like, wait a minute, We're not gonna have sex.
I'm just gonna put out the fire and leave. I'm
just gonna pull out my big hose and spray the
fire down and then I'm just gonna leave. Nobody would
ever have never have expected that to happen. It's like
six cents, Yeah, plot twist. Um, I see dead people,
you speak, you speak, you speak French. Now all of
a sudden, well not all of a sudden, I've been
(37:42):
doing it for years and you were married, so my
wife doesn't believe that I actually speak French. So Jenny
Taft did an interview with Killian embop A, who is
the best player on France's team, or at least the
most famous nineteen year old star, and so I attempted.
Because you didn't answer your phone when we were calling you,
I decided to do live train inslation of France French
on the radio show. That's impressive. I like the low
(38:04):
key digging me into That was good. You got it.
You got it at the same time. Well, it's not
as if you don't know that every single Wednesday we're
going to call you at the exact same time. So
I don't even feel the need to text you. You've
been reliable up to this point. Evidently now I have
to go back to texting. It's my son's birthday this morning.
He woke up at five fifty, so I was a
little bit like he's thrown off with my best present. Um.
(38:28):
So he wanted a NERF gun, which makes no sense
because he's four and he can't pull the trigger back
to like load it. So he was excited about that,
but I got him this, like, um, we got him
a Captain America a costume. He know, he's worn an
Ironman costume probably two last three days. That's a perfect
age my middle kid dressed as a Jedi or as
(38:51):
a superhero. He would dress up every day for like
a year in a row. I mean, it's a perfect age.
He sleeps with he sleeps with it on. But the
funny part, he's never seen any Ironman movie, never seen
an Avengers movie. I have no idea why he likes
superhero so much. Um, but he loves us. So he
wants a Captain America costume. I got that, And then
(39:12):
I'm getting him a bunch of neighbors have those um
those uh little cars the Kidston drive, you know, like
a little gator. Yeah yeah, yeah, So I got him
one that's a replica of my truck. So so well, dude,
I mean he's four man, he don't really care. He
just wants to. He really wants to. He wanted the
dirt growl, which you can't even use angry at this morning.
(39:32):
And then he wants, um, you know, the Captain America
costumes should be here today, and then the truck and
we'll go to dinner. You know, you'll go to camp
today if all the kids an Hi. But he woke
up at five fifty Yeah, so so early. Yeah, welcome
to parenthood. Um. By the way, before we let you go,
there is one big NFL story out there. Uh and
and we're translating from not serious at all too serious.
(39:54):
Lashawn McCoy, if you are the Bills, what do you
do with these allegations? Given how serious they are? Can
you bring him into training camp or how do you
handle this? Well, you still have a couple of weeks
till training camp. I mean I think that with with
what happened with with Ruben Foster right where he was
accused of of assaulting a young lady and end up
(40:16):
being not true at all. Now, there are some things,
you know, the gun charges um and and he had
possession of marijuana those that was true, and I'm not
sure he should be suspended for the gun of it.
I mean, he had legally registered in Alabama. He just
was in California, So I mean, I get whatever, But
you just spend him for that, um and we saw
that he was innocent of that. I think you kind
(40:37):
of have to wait. Um And see what happened. Plus
it it doesn't seem like he was actually there for
the incident. He might have sent someone to do to
do the dirty work. Um, So I think you sta
have to let it play out. Um. And it sounds bad, right,
I mean there's people tweeting out stuff last night basically
saying like, look, we're hearing some really bad information about
(40:58):
about Losha McCoy here. Can't really tweet out yeat. I
hate that, but I hate people tweet that type of
stuff like I'm hearing bad things, but I just can't
tell you what it is. Yeah, just just wait to
tweet out later. Um. And uh, you bring him into camp,
I think, um, because what would you do? You suspend
him or you just tell him not to show up?
I mean, I just I mean, he shows up and
you just let it play out. And when the authorities
(41:20):
have decided what they're gonna do, then you you go
from there. If you if he's arrested or he's charged
with something, then then you take the appropriate action. Good
Stuff has always enjoyed the birthday party with the four
year old
Major story that I think continues to develop that could
get really ugly for the NFL and could potentially spell
the end of Lashawn McCoy's career, or he could be
getting set up. This is one of these early stories
alleging domestic violence and criminal behavior. I didn't share the
(00:21):
images when I when this story started to come down
and started to go viral on social media, because I
think there's a there's a when you're a lawyer, there's
a phrase where the prejudice outweighs the probitive value. When
you see this girl beaten up, I think your natural
inclination when somebody says, hey, I was beaten up, when
(00:42):
you're a girl and you're alleging that a man beat
you up and you see the physical damage that she received,
is to immediately believe he's guilty. So when I saw
those images, I'm like, man, I just don't feel comfortable
sharing these images because you know there's a criminal investigation
going on, and I feel like, once you share the images,
it's hard to unring that bell in the event that
(01:03):
he was not actually involved. But I mean, when you
see these images, like, I don't know what the bills do, right,
I mean, that's I think that's the most challenging thing
we bring in now. John Campbell, he's at odd Shark.
He joins us every single Wednesday morning, UH to break
down everything in the world of sports, gambling and beyond.
And I want to start with you, John, obviously, with
(01:23):
the big game that's gonna be taking place this afternoon.
England trying to punch a ticket, Croatia trying to punch
a ticket. What's gonna happen? How do you play this
game if you are interested in sitting back on your
couch this afternoon having some fun. Well, I think the
odds should be a lot closer than they are. And
England's all plus one thirty favorite here with Croatia two
to one in the draw plus two twenty and I
(01:44):
just think England favored by a little bit too much,
and not probably books protecting against public action. I think
a lot of the money will flood in on England
and they just can't help that. But England hasn't played
a really strong against a really strong field yet, and
I think that is going to be the big challenge
that we're looking for here against Croatia. Cross coming off
(02:07):
a couple of games where they had to play a
hundred and twenty minutes, so fatigue might also be a factor.
I think a lot of people will love both teams
to score, and I can't argue with that, but I
like England to squeak it out. I just don't like
the odds here. If England wins and plays against France
or Croatia does how much of a favorite are we
(02:27):
looking at France being I'm assuming France is going to
be favorite in whoever they play in the Championship on Sunday.
What will that line look like from your perspective? Well,
right now, I saw one book had France as minus
one fifty to win the World Cup, so that will
probably be pretty close to what it will be. England
is plus two fifty right now and Croatia's five to one.
(02:50):
I think that the big knock against Croatia if they
move through, will be a fatigue factor, especially it goes
if it goes to extra time against England, and for
it just looks so strong all over the field right now.
Belgium was having a great tournament and I thought France
just completely controlled that game yesterday, so they should be
the favorite. They will be minus money for sure also
(03:13):
going on, and I don't know how many people are
paying attention to because I feel like it's overshadowed by
the World Cup. Federer had some funny comments about this
because the Wimbledon final could be going head to head
for men on Sunday against the World Cup, and if
England is fortunate enough to advance, England against France would
totally overwhelmed Roger Federer probably against someone else, no matter
(03:34):
how dominant he has actually been. Uh. Federer still alive
and Nadal is still around. Uh Yokovic is still there.
John Isner for the Americans, is having a great run.
He plays at eleven o'clock Eastern our time, trying to
advance to the final four place he's never been before. Uh,
del Potro, all these people. Uh? Is Federer a prohibitive
(03:57):
favorite in Wimbledon right now? Yeah? Federer is minus one
fifteen and he came into Wimbledon around plus one fifty.
But considering the way he's playing, I would have expected
him to be a bigger favorite at this point. He's
held his opponents to just thirty six games and he's
just playing so well. He dusted off Adrian Mannerino in
(04:19):
sixteen minutes in one set in the Is he the
most pause you here for sex? Is he the most
dominant over thirty five year old athlete we've ever seen?
Because to me, Federer's returned to dominance. I don't think
he's lost a set and he's won like sixty three
straight sets. I mean something that's just insane. At Wimbledon
(04:40):
he obviously swept through. I don't think he lost a
set all of last the last title that he won,
and he continues to dominate right now. Um, have we
ever seen an athlete like this at a plus thirty
five performance. I don't think so I did. Maybe I
don't know. John ELWAYM maybe uh yeah, going back, but yeah,
(05:04):
it's but I don't know. I think it's one of
thirty five straight sets, are looking to win thirty five
going back to last year, and he's done some smart things.
He's skipping the place he's in now to uh to
better prepare for Wimbledon, and um, but I don't know.
I think he's one of the best. The level he's
playing at is just insane here and but I think
(05:24):
I think the reason he's not as big a favor
is because Novak Djokovic. He's returning to a level that
that we saw him play at before his elbow injury.
He's four to one. Nadal and del Potro both looking
really good. But I think there's some values here in
the quarterfinals. Uh And and Wimbledon is really exciting too.
I'm gonna have to get right my remote some ready
(05:45):
for for a Sunday because I'll be flipping between Wimbledon
and the World Cup final, no doubt. All Right, the
other big story. He's certainly in the world of odds,
and we're talking to John Campbell at Johnny odd Shark
on Twitter. You can find him there. Uh is Lebron
to the Lakers? The Warriors are a prohibitive favorite. Where
have the Lakers settled now that Lebron seems uh, you know,
(06:06):
as officially signed his contract and it seems relatively clear
in the meantime that Kawhi Leonard is not imminent in
the short term. How is the NBA breaking down? Adam
Silver's out there saying, oh, the league doesn't have a
problem with the Warriors dominance Vegas and the off shores
would disagree. Given how much the Warriors are favored, how
much exactly are they favorite. Yeah, Warriors around minus one.
(06:32):
I saw one book also had the minus two hundreds. Alright,
so pause before we go any further there for people
out there who are here in minus one seventy and
minus two hundred in the off season, that's an insane
level to be favoring a team in any sport. I mean,
there's no other sport where you would have a favorite
anywhere close to that before the season even starts. Yeah,
(06:53):
you're absolutely right. It's it's totally crazy. I can't remember
a team ever being minus money in amaze your pro sport.
Where in my sixteen years working in sports betting, I
just I can't, I can't remember anything like it, So
it's absolutely crazy. The only thing maybe I could compare
it to is Tiger Woods used to be around minus
money or even money sometimes uh in an individual sports
(07:16):
golf back when he was in his crime. That is
maybe the only thing that I could compare that too.
But they deserve to be huge favorites, and I think
they're going to win again. But the Celtics not too
far behind their five to one, Rockets six to one,
and then the Lakers are around five, six, seven to one,
depending on what books do you look at and I
(07:37):
think that number is just absolutely ridiculous. It just shows
how much lebron fever affects these odds here. And before
he went to the Lakers, we we we saw the
Lakers odds drop from twenty five to one, the sixteen
to one, and now down to five till one ish.
But I just don't think there's any value. There is
there any value in Carmelo Anthony. It seems like he's
(07:59):
probably going to go to the Houston Rockets. Do we
think that he makes a difference in terms of Rockets futures?
And if he went to the Lakers, would he impact things?
And at all there? What kind of impact does he have?
I don't. I don't think oddsmakers will give him any impact.
But I think he should make their odds worse because
he just has not been playing well. He's been toxic
(08:21):
to the teams he's been playing with, and I just
don't think he makes any impact. So of anything, I
think the odds should get worse for whatever team he
goes to, but I don't think it will have any impact.
I believe we're gonna be down for some of the
SEC media days, the Southeastern conference official kickoff is next
week in Atlanta. They are getting ready for the start
(08:41):
of college football. To me, it's always the time in
college football where you officially turned the page and think, hey,
it's not too long now until we actually get legitimate
football to talk about. Um, when you look at the
futures in the Big ten, A C C, SEC, Big twelve,
Pact twelve, anybody out there that's really jumping out to you.
I know Alabama's favored to win the championship. I know
(09:03):
you can bet on whether or not teams are going
to advance to the playoff. But to you, what are
you looking at as we come into the season in
terms of numbers, maybe on wins, maybe on odds to
win titles that are are jumping out at you. Yeah,
looking at futures there, there's there are a few teams
that really probably are are in the running here to
win the national championship. But going beyond those guys Alabama, Clemson,
(09:25):
Ohouse Day, Georgia, Michigan, Washington, you can find them twenty
two to one out there, which I think isn't bad.
With consin one returning basically their entire offense. There are
ten wins as well, which I think is a little
bit of a gift. I think they're going to get
eleven this year for sure. So there are some odds
out there. Auburn thirty two one, and I know that
(09:47):
scares a lot of people, obviously going head to head
with Alabama, but Jared Stadhum I thought he was the
best quarterback in the SEC last year and uh, and
they have a great defensive line. So even Auburn thirty
a one, I really like those odds. If you want
to get crazy and go way down the board, there
are a couple that I think might be worth a
(10:07):
long shot. Utah two one. They were young last year.
I think they're gonna be a lot better this year.
I think they're definitely going over seven wins and NC
State one in the in the a CC. They've got
a great offense. They've got to clean up their defense
a little bit. But if you want to take some
lung shots, those ones might be worth a sprinkle. We're
talking to John Campbell at Johnny Odd Shark. Obviously we
(10:30):
started off this show, UH talking a good deal about
Leshawn McCoy and the allegations against him the Bills. I
don't think We're expected to have a very good season regardless,
because they got a three way quarterback battle going with
Nathan Peterman, with a J. Mccaren and with Josh Allen.
But when you hear allegations like those against Leshawn McCoy,
they're obviously insanely serious. But what does the odds market do?
(10:53):
Does it move at all on the Leshawn McCoy news
or does everybody just sit back and you know that
the numbers stay up on line? How do you deal
when it comes to odds making with significant off field
allegations or incidents that may impact a team's ability to
have a star player on the field. Right now, just
with the parody in the NFL, they don't need to
(11:17):
take them off the board. Sometimes they will, and they'll
make slight adjustments. Sometimes they make slight adjustments just for
the media factors so that people talk about the odds
moves and kind of keep the story rolling a little bit.
He's so important to the Bills, of course, and and
probably is worth a little bit there, But I didn't
see the odds come down. If you're Bills fan, obviously
(11:38):
you're watching this one closely builds around one now to
win the Super Bowl might get a little worse uh
in the coming days many things. John Campbell, have a
good uh. The World Cup semifinal game this afternoon. What's
your pick, by the way, what's what? What's your side
today on on England Croatia? If you're gonna play it?
What do you like the best? Oh? Well, I think
(12:00):
my departed grandparents who are from England would come back
from the grave and kill me if I didn't take
England here. So they're both from England, so I'm gonna
go with England. I'll stick with them. I think they're
gonna win to one. Outstanding stuff as always, and we
will talk to you against soon. That's John Campbell at
Johnny Odd Shark. Croatia going up against England. England trying
(12:22):
to win its first World Cup since nineteen sixty, trying
to bring the cup home. They are trying to advance
to play against France and what would be an epic
battle of our thousand year conflict England versus France. Yesterday
Belgium against France. France gets the win. We had World
Cup Trivia brought to you by Danny g. I do
not know the questions. A lot of people out there.
(12:43):
I think that for some reason, I know these questions.
Danny g disabuse them of that notion. Do I know
anything about what you're going to ask me? I don't know.
And why in the world would I help you? Yeah,
like people root against me on this show. They don't
root for me. They want me to fail. They want
me to spectacularly collapse. They are not in favor of
me continuing to prove that I am a stellar individual.
(13:07):
They want me to fail at every turn. So uh,
let's play the music. Cue the music, Roberto, this is
bringing in the final Jeopardy music. I believe there. This
is the World Cup Country Quiz. And the reason why
Roberto brought us back with that Michael Jackson song is
because you were scary good yesterday. Don't think you're gonna
(13:29):
be able to repeat two days in a row. I
went six and two yesterday. Yesterday I had it was
Belgium or France. Today I have to pick whether it's
England or Croatia. England or Croatia. Eight fun facts about
England and Croatia. You have a of getting each one correct?
All right, here we go. Number one, there's a town
(13:50):
in this country that's famous for being the oldest inhabited
city in Europe and is known as a transport hub.
The oldest inhabited city in Europe and it's a transport hub. Well,
I know all of Croatia is on a body of
(14:12):
water of some sort. Certainly much of England is surrounded
by by water as well. I'm gonna say that the
answer here, I don't think that England because I don't
think that England had the longest inhabited village or anything
like that. I know it goes back to Roman times
and there's different. Uh. I'm gonna say, Croatia, you punk,
(14:36):
you got this right than Kovski has been inhabited for
the past eight thousand years and they're known for their railways. Boom,
good start, right here we go, No, you're off to
a good start. One and oh number two. In this country.
Medieval football or soccer as we call it, often led
to injuries and death. Men often drowned during a game
(15:00):
while chasing the ball into the sea. Again, I know
all of Croatia is on the coast. Both both have water,
both have seas next to that. How do we not?
How I mean, couldn't this have happened in both places.
I'm gonna say that this is more likely to be
England because I think that the history of English soccer
(15:22):
and competition would be more widely known than Croatia. So
I'm going to England, you jerk. This is a fun
fact about England. During games in a season, up to
forty men would drown chasing the ball into the North Sea.
It seems like an awful way to go. Not as
bad as finding your wife having sex with her mechanics.
(15:43):
They were talked about it. Now we're serious about their football.
They are all right too. And oh number three, seventy
eight percent of the people in this country claim knowledge
of at least one foreign language. Sounds like you, Well,
we are already established. How well I know French? Seventy
eight percent? See, I feel like Croatia. I well, First
(16:07):
of all, English is the language of the world, So
if you are fortunate enough to know English, you tend
to be lazy and not learn as many other languages.
Whereas if you are a Croatian, I guarantee you that
you can't just spend the rest of your life on
what do they speak Croatian? I don't even know what
the language is in Croatia. I'm gonna go with Croatia.
(16:29):
Seventy eight percent of the people in Croatia claim knowledge
of at least one foreign language. Hate to brag, but
I'm pretty phenomenal. Uh. We gotta find a game that
you suck at. This is not going well. All right,
here we go. Number four. The world's first torpedo was
constructed in this country in eighteen sixty six. Zero doubt
(16:50):
about this. The Industrial Revolution, Uh, the fact that England
was long ahead of every uh, of everybody else when
it comes to devising all sorts of of of kind
of situations. But what year did you say? By the way,
eighteen sixty six. Now I wanna I'm gonna say this.
I believe the first try. I think that your fact
(17:13):
is wrong. I think that the first this was this
was the first prototype of a self propelled torpedo. Okay,
self propelled maybe because I believe the first torpedo was
used in the Civil War to sink uh. And I
think they just recently found some of the some of
the refuge of this, like in the Charleston Harbor I
(17:33):
off the coast of South Carolina. I think that they
had a torpedo that was used. But England is the
answer here? Your first l that this I I'm just
I am. I am asked waking this entire question in
series Rejecca r I j e K A von Lupus
who later changed his name to von K von Lupus.
(17:55):
That sounds like the name of a Lupus is like
a wolf, right l u p p I s he
developed the first prototypes of the self propelled torpedo in
eighteen sixties. I somebody else look up the history of
torpedoes because I think I should get credit for this.
I got this from Croatia's website. Why it's not as
if Croatia's I'm telling you right now the first torpedo
(18:19):
was used in the Civil War. I didn't ask ship.
I didn't ask when was the first used torpedo? I said,
the world's first torpedo was constructed country. Yeah, right, but
constructing sixty six, which was after the Civil War. I'm
disputing this factory. Somebody look it up the first torpedo
even told you it was a prototype of the first
(18:41):
self propelled torpedo before you answered. So I understand because
I was questioning, because I questioned whether this is a
correct somebody, take care if I'm correct with the Civil
War answer. All right, here we go. Number five. In
this country, you can eat love in disguise, which is
just a fancy name for stuffed hearts of cows and pigs.
(19:05):
So haggis, I think is like liver, and that's out
of Scotland, because I remember when I went to Scotland
in college, everybody was like, oh, you gotta eat the haggis.
And I'm not a and when I go to a
new country, I'm gonna try something like we had what
Stu holding on earlier in the week and he was like,
I went to uh, that kind of part of Russia
where they they say that horses a delicacy. I would
(19:25):
not eat horse. I would not eat this. But this
to me sounds like something that's related to haggis, which
sounds like something that would come out of England. You're
correct England. In fact, they're British. Recipe Online says, after
well cleaning stuff of calf's heart, cover it an inch
thick with good forced meat, then roll it in background
(19:50):
there to put it in an into a dish with
a little water and send it to the oven. When done,
serve it with its own gravy in the dish. This
forms a perfect side dish that sounds awful. By the way,
anybody looked up my my torpedo details. No, everybody knows
you're wrong right about. There we go. Number six. You've
only lost one that one, so you're doing better than
(20:12):
I thought. Here we go. The world's first drive through
Safari Park opened in this country in nineteen sixty six.
Nineteen sixty six. That can't possibly be true that that
was the drive drive through Safari. Yes, it's true. It's
impossible that the first one was nineteen sixty six. You're
telling me nobody before nineteen sixty six thought, hey, you
(20:35):
know we should do we should combine cars and animals.
This is ridiculous. The world's first drive through Safari Park
opened in this country in nineteen sixty six. Don't argue
with Alex Trebec. Yeah, we need an official checker of
your facts before we can even get better. All right,
sounds like you're going to take an l on this.
So you're making excuses. No, No, No, nine, because I
(20:56):
don't believe I think that everywhere had to drive through
Safari Park by night. I'll give the name of the
Safari Park after you get this wrong and then people
can look it up. Nineteen sixty six Safari Park. So
the thing that I'm thinking, the reason why I'm pausing
here is I'm trying to think, um no, no, no,
let me explain my rationale. I feel like there would
(21:17):
be danger associated with this, and I feel like the
less developed of a country, the more likely you are
to embrace it. So Croatia, if somebody just got like
a lion just pulled somebody out of a car and
mauled them to death in nineteen sixty six, would be
a lot easier to have happened than that to happen
in England and like the heyday of the Beatles. So
(21:39):
I am going to go with Croatia here. You basically
just called the nation of Croatia a bunch of animals,
and you are wrong. England Long Long Leaked Safari Park
l O n g Eli eight c Long Lead House
in Wiltshire opened in nineteen sixty six and they still
run today. Yeah. I just don't believe this is the
(22:01):
first Safari park. Well you're wrong about that, all right?
What we got? Okay? Number seven Hip hop groups such
as the beat Fleet and Elemental are also now treated
as pop in this country. I think it's gonna be
Croatia because I feel like I would have some knowledge
of the people if they were in English, because they
(22:22):
would have, you know, brought their music here or whatever.
So I'm going Croatia correct. And also the other other
thing I would say is that's the kind of names
that you would get in a foreign country, you know
how like when you know, like we think it's it's
it's almost like the tattoos. You know, if somebody gets
like a Chinese tattoo, uh, and everybody for a while
that was really cool and like the early two thousands,
(22:42):
and if you were Chinese or Asian or whatever, you
were like, yeah, this is so stupid, like what you're
getting tattooed on your arm, Like it doesn't make sense
or it doesn't like translate well. And then you'd see
the euro guys and they'd be walking around like I
remember when I was in europe Um back in back
in college, somebody would be walking around in like a
Russell Athletic sweatshirt, like as if that was like a
(23:04):
really big brand. And remember that, like you'd see somebody
to be like I love America. Look how badass my
Russell Athletic sweatshirt is. So this is like when they
pick a word in Croatia, it's gonna be a word
that doesn't really mean that much to Americans or to
British people. But it's like elemental, you know, it's like,
well that, what do you elemental? Like? It doesn't make
(23:24):
any sense. So anyway, that's my deduction there. What plus
plus England had nana cherry way back in the day.
What am I four and two here? Five and two?
One last question? So are you correct that we only
have one question left here? Because last time you miscounted,
I know yesterday I had notes all over the place.
Today they're on one sheet of paper. So I'm good,
by the way, I'm five and two and disputing both
(23:45):
wrong answers answers that I believe I was correct. Of course,
we wouldn't expect anything less from you. All right, Number eight,
you can match your wind total from yesterday. The next
tie was invented in this country, the neck tie. I
I think this is too easy because my immediate response is,
of course it's England, um, because England people like basically
(24:08):
created the uh, the the idea of dressing up and
like the white collar workforce and everything else. Uh so
I'm gonna go England here and you are wrong. Oh
that's that's a tough one. Yeah see, I would I
kind of think the same thing because of Berbery and
all the great brands there. But Croatia is not only
the home of the next tie. The biggest ever neck
(24:31):
tie in the world, measuring half a mile, was displayed
in Croatia. Took five days to complete. They tied it
around the Poola arena in two thousand three. That's a
tough one. That's a tough one to end on because
I would have liked to have gone six and two.
But pretty good overall. I would say eleven and five overall,
with two disputed answers today, nothing to dispute about them,
(24:53):
but yeah, five and three today. Did anybody look up
my my, my? Uh my story w the torpedo. I'm
very confident on the torpedo existing in civil war? Does
anybody listen to me on this show at all? There
there are two other people on the show. Did anybody
look up the history of torpedoes? I was too busy
(25:13):
taking the quiz. I was playing the home game. Yeah,
give it. Yeah, thanks guys, thanks for thanks for really
lifting a lot here on the show heavy Lifting. I'm
gonna look up the history of the torpedo as well
to verify that I should get credit for that answer,
because I actually identified it. I think it was in
South Carolina. But Eddie Garcia, what's the update? What you
got for us? Well, let's start with the big news
from the NFL where Buffalo Bill start running back with
(25:35):
Sean McCoy is denying any involvement in a domestic violence
case against his ex girlfriend that he was implicated in
on social media. Police in the NFL are looking into it.
The NFL Players Association follow the grievance against the league
over the new national Anthem Policy. The union claims the
policy was implemented without consulting the NFL p A, is
inconsistent with a collective bargaining agreement and infringes on player rights.
(25:56):
In baseball games of note, the Cubs shut off the
Giants to nothing all the Brewers beat the Marlins eight
to four. Milwaukee holds that game an athlete over Chicago
with the top spot of the NIL. Central Dodgers fall
to the Padres four to one, while the Diamondbacks beat
the Rockies five three, So Arizona elits the NLS by
a game and a half on l a semifinal action
that the World Cups of France shut out Belgium one nothing.
It's the third time that France's advanced to the World
(26:19):
Cup Final Day will play the winner of today's Croatia
versus England semifinal matchup that comes up at two pm
Eastern and you can watch it on Fox. This report
is brought to you by True Car online car shopping
and be confusing, but not anymore. With true Price from
True Car, now you can know the exact price will
pay for your next car. So is a true Car
and enjoying more confident car buying experience. Now bout m
clay Travis in the Geico OutKick the coverage studio alright,
(26:41):
like so I get credit for this. During the American
Civil War UH, it's first of all. Torpedoes were used
by the Russian Empire during the Crimean War in eighteen
fifty five against the British warships in the Gulf of Finland.
UH and then during the American Civil War, the term
torpedo was you for the first time and The devices
(27:02):
were very primitive app to prematurely explode. They would be
detonated on contact with the ship or after a set time.
The USS Caro Cairo was the first warship to be sunk,
in eighteen sixty two by a torpedo. Uh. Sports spar
torpedoes were also used. Um they were used by the
Confederate submarine the h L. Hunley to sink the USS
(27:25):
Houston Tonic. Uh So that that happened off South Carolina.
I should get credit? Is their agreement that I should
get credit? Why would Croatia lie about this? And and
what kind of torpedoes were? They were those? Because we
told you these were prototypes of the first self propelled torpedoes,
all right. Here Also it says invention of the modern torpedo.
(27:48):
In eighteen sixty six, British engineer Robert Whitehead invented the
first effective self propelled torpedo. Oh, Ivan vuks is gonna
want to box him? Then? Because all right, so I
they that, like, that's a direct question the British engineer,
it says, invented the first effective self propelled torpedo. I believe,
(28:08):
I said the British there, so I think I think
I get credit for that one. I think, well, let me,
I'll tweet to you from the website that I found
this on and then you can compare the two. This
is says a prototype self propelled torpedo was created by
a commission placed by Giovanni Lupus, an Australian, Hungary and
Garian naval officer from Flume, a port city. Uh. But
(28:32):
he was working in consultation with Robert Whitehead, the English engineer.
So I think I'll get credit here. Uh. This is
a major with the major controversy has emerged in the
in the discussion here, Um, I just am blown away here.
In general, you really want to go six and two
(28:52):
again England they called them torpedoes in the Civil War
even though they were not necessar saily self propelled doesn't.
Then that doesn't make sense because I gave you that
information before you answered the question, right. But the fact
that Britain the guy according to Wikipedia, did you see
(29:13):
Croatia week dot com, which is a reputable source, Yes,
I saw you. They obviously know about the country, they
know about their week. No, they just propagate myths. So
I get that one. We have the bell ding. It
gives everybody on Twitter is on this one, and I said,
(29:40):
I knew that this this Safari park thing. There was
no way. The first Safari park was in Ninetiespia dot com,
which everybody goes to when they I don't even know
what that is. Here's the course you don't you've never
forced to show or a game. One big Safari park.
The entire reason, from a from a tourist perspective, why
(30:04):
Africa exists. White people were talking about Africa if the
choices were England or Croatia. Correct, But the world's first
drive through opened. Drive just tweeted it to you. The
drive through in general in Africa Africa is one big
drive through Safari park. This was in England or Africa.
(30:26):
It was England or Croatia. We're talking about a park
inside either England or Croatia, but the whole country, whole
continent of Africa, many countries, it's a big Safari you.
Pedia dot com says the world first drive through Safari
Park opened at long Lead House in Wiltshire in nineteen sixty.
If it says outside of Africa, that's not what it
(30:51):
says on their website here. Yeah, well, yeah, I understand
why the place in in England would want to claim
that they're the first drive through Safari Park, but literally
many different parks in uh in the in all of Africa.
That's why the idea of the drive through Safari Park
even exists, because so many people go to Africa and
do it. I'm not going to take credit for that one.
(31:13):
The torpedo is more controversial, so I will say six
and two for both days. I'll take that one. Joined
now by Jeff Schwartz. You can follow him on Twitter
at g O F F s C h W A
R t Z. Altogether, that's pretty good spelling by me. Uh, Jeff,
if you came home you don't have any kids yet? Yes?
You you may have read this story already. You found
(31:36):
your wife and she had died of carbon monoxide poisoning
while having sex with the mechanic that was supposed to
be fixing her car. Okay, this is a real story
that happened in New Jersey on Monday night. Would you
in some way be glad that she was dead? Uh?
Probably not. I mean, only you ever wish for your
(31:56):
spouse to be dead. Obviously the cheating would be a dealbreaker,
but I don't think you want her to die at me, right,
I mean, honey, depends on how much money I had
for a life insurance because I don't think I don't
think it's that you could like build the relationship back
up if she's having sex with the mechanics, right, It's
like I don't necessarily wander, did I? But if she
(32:18):
were dead, I don't think I would feel that bad.
I would feel kind of like it was karma, like
like were they like dead on was she like dead
on top of him? Like? There's still so many details
to to oncover the having How long were they having
sex for? It mean, they clearly weren't married obviously, Like
were having sex forty five minutes that you just got
carbon oxide poison in? I don't know, we don't know
any of the details. My big question is did they
(32:40):
both die of carbon monoxide? And I guess you go
to sleep first, but did they both pass out first?
Did they have sex and then they were like in
the post coital glow? Can I say that? I think
I can say that on the radio where they just
like cuddling and then they were like, oh I'm a
little bit tired and the next thing you know, they're dead.
I don't know, so I'm curious, like how this actually
ended up happening. But the man who is still alive,
(33:03):
the husband he arrives home, I think there had to
be a part of him that was like, this is
easier this way, do you think? I think? Another question
is he suspected this happening before. But there's a lot
of questions here, right, So if you suspected this happening before,
or he had already caught her before and she said
she wouldn't do it anymore, and now she continued to
do it, that changes, obviously the way he's gonna feel.
(33:25):
Your first time he walked in on it, he probably
would be a little bit of shock and want like
an answer or to know more things before she passed away.
Here's my argument too, It's not just that she was
having an affair. It's that she was having an affair
with a fifty six year old mechanic because this thirty
nine but so good pull for the mechanic up until
(33:46):
the point where he died. But here's the deal, um,
twenty year younger woman. Almost if you will sleep with
your mechanic, you basically will sleep with anybody, right, I mean,
this is like I've made the argument if you like,
if he had come home and he found his wife UH,
and Brad Pitt had been having an affair with her,
I think you'd have been like, well, it's Brad Pitt, right,
(34:07):
I mean, I think you can be I think if
you are with somebody else and they have an affair
with somebody who's incredibly good looking and incredibly accomplished, you're
more likely to forgive it than you are if it's
like the grocery score, you know, like like, I'm sure
if Tiger Woods his wife had found out that Tiger
Woods had been having an affair with UH, I don't know,
like uh, And I'm just tossing it out there, not
(34:28):
saying it happened with uh. Jennifer Aniston. I think that
that she would have felt differently than when she found
out he was banging the waitress at Perkins, right, Because
if you have an affair with Jennifer Aniston, you can
be like, well, Jennifer Aniston is really good looking, she's famous,
she's sexy. If you bang the Perkins waitress, it basically
means I can't trust my husband anywhere, Like he will
(34:51):
have sex with anyone. Is like Arnold Schwarzenegger having sex
with the with the the cleaner, the house cleaner. It's
like and having a baby with the house clu eater.
Like you can't have an affair with the maid, right
like that unless it's a French maid. And it's like
some like really you know, really high end, incredibly good
looking made, which, by the way, I've never seen. There's
never been a point in time where I've been at
(35:12):
a hotel and I've been like, you know who's smoking hot?
That made the same way like you ever, like you
ever walk into McDonald's and be like, you know who
was smoking hot? The chick who took my order at McDonald's.
Like you can tell a certain way by the job,
like whether somebody's gonna be good looking or not. Like
the front the front check, the front desk girl is
usually at a restaurant, the best looking person in the
(35:33):
in the whole restaurant. There's never been a time where
I've ordered a big Mac and been like, and let
me tell you, this chick was really good looking. Like
jobs oftentimes have attractiveness associated with them, and most of
the time your average made is not a knockout well
radio host. I mean I mean, and we just found
out that I also speak French. So let's be honest
(35:54):
in terms of sex appeal. If you came into your
house and you found your wife having sex with me,
I think you would have to be you thank your
wife for doing it, because I'm just so overwhelmingly high
on the sex appeal rating. But so I'm reading, I'm
reading a story. By the way I put the story up,
this is this is the start of a of a
porn law enforcement story to say they believe the wife
was paying for her car work by having sex with
(36:15):
a mechanic. Yeah, just like this a porner real life. Yeah. Also,
you know, you're a failure when you can't afford to
pay your mechanic and so your wife ends up banging
him Like that's a yeah, well that's the excuse. Yeah,
it's like that. Yeah, It's like the pizza man. I mean,
how often do you think the pizza man actually has
sex with the girl who orders the pizza? Not very
(36:37):
often in porn, pretty high percentage of the time. Same thing,
But like plumber or the or the maleman or the fireman.
If you are a man in a uniform and you
go to a house in a porn movie, you're probably
gonna have sex with the person inside the house you
go to. I would expect nothing less when I imagine,
imagine if you were in the porn movie and you
(36:59):
were like a five fire man going to a house
to put out a fire, and you didn't get to
have sex with the girl, like you were just the
guy and it was just a normal part of the
normal part of the movie. It would be such a
plot twist, Like I thought that guy was gonna have
sex with her, but he really was just showing up
to just be a fireman. And then he turned her,
he put out her fire, and he left. I mean,
that's the kind of thing like record scratch moment in
(37:20):
the porn Like if you were reading the script, you'd
be like, wait a minute, We're not gonna have sex.
I'm just gonna put out the fire and leave. I'm
just gonna pull out my big hose and spray the
fire down and then I'm just gonna leave. Nobody would
ever have never have expected that to happen. It's like
six cents, Yeah, plot twist. Um, I see dead people,
you speak, you speak, you speak French. Now all of
a sudden, well not all of a sudden, I've been
(37:42):
doing it for years and you were married, so my
wife doesn't believe that I actually speak French. So Jenny
Taft did an interview with Killian embop A, who is
the best player on France's team, or at least the
most famous nineteen year old star, and so I attempted.
Because you didn't answer your phone when we were calling you,
I decided to do live train inslation of France French
on the radio show. That's impressive. I like the low
(38:04):
key digging me into That was good. You got it.
You got it at the same time. Well, it's not
as if you don't know that every single Wednesday we're
going to call you at the exact same time. So
I don't even feel the need to text you. You've
been reliable up to this point. Evidently now I have
to go back to texting. It's my son's birthday this morning.
He woke up at five fifty, so I was a
little bit like he's thrown off with my best present. Um.
(38:28):
So he wanted a NERF gun, which makes no sense
because he's four and he can't pull the trigger back
to like load it. So he was excited about that,
but I got him this, like, um, we got him
a Captain America a costume. He know, he's worn an
Ironman costume probably two last three days. That's a perfect
age my middle kid dressed as a Jedi or as
(38:51):
a superhero. He would dress up every day for like
a year in a row. I mean, it's a perfect age.
He sleeps with he sleeps with it on. But the
funny part, he's never seen any Ironman movie, never seen
an Avengers movie. I have no idea why he likes
superhero so much. Um, but he loves us. So he
wants a Captain America costume. I got that, And then
(39:12):
I'm getting him a bunch of neighbors have those um
those uh little cars the Kidston drive, you know, like
a little gator. Yeah yeah, yeah, So I got him
one that's a replica of my truck. So so well, dude,
I mean he's four man, he don't really care. He
just wants to. He really wants to. He wanted the
dirt growl, which you can't even use angry at this morning.
(39:32):
And then he wants, um, you know, the Captain America
costumes should be here today, and then the truck and
we'll go to dinner. You know, you'll go to camp
today if all the kids an Hi. But he woke
up at five fifty Yeah, so so early. Yeah, welcome
to parenthood. Um. By the way, before we let you go,
there is one big NFL story out there. Uh and
and we're translating from not serious at all too serious.
(39:54):
Lashawn McCoy, if you are the Bills, what do you
do with these allegations? Given how serious they are? Can
you bring him into training camp or how do you
handle this? Well, you still have a couple of weeks
till training camp. I mean I think that with with
what happened with with Ruben Foster right where he was
accused of of assaulting a young lady and end up
(40:16):
being not true at all. Now, there are some things,
you know, the gun charges um and and he had
possession of marijuana those that was true, and I'm not
sure he should be suspended for the gun of it.
I mean, he had legally registered in Alabama. He just
was in California, So I mean, I get whatever, But
you just spend him for that, um and we saw
that he was innocent of that. I think you kind
(40:37):
of have to wait. Um And see what happened. Plus
it it doesn't seem like he was actually there for
the incident. He might have sent someone to do to
do the dirty work. Um, So I think you sta
have to let it play out. Um. And it sounds bad, right,
I mean there's people tweeting out stuff last night basically
saying like, look, we're hearing some really bad information about
(40:58):
about Losha McCoy here. Can't really tweet out yeat. I
hate that, but I hate people tweet that type of
stuff like I'm hearing bad things, but I just can't
tell you what it is. Yeah, just just wait to
tweet out later. Um. And uh, you bring him into camp,
I think, um, because what would you do? You suspend
him or you just tell him not to show up?
I mean, I just I mean, he shows up and
you just let it play out. And when the authorities
(41:20):
have decided what they're gonna do, then you you go
from there. If you if he's arrested or he's charged
with something, then then you take the appropriate action. Good
