so Yes, too bad, but what did you expect? It's
a podcast called twenty five Whistles.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Blow Eddie, thank You. I was looking at the ten
toughest four game stretches in the NFL coming up, according
to Greg Almand, Number one to Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Oh boys.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
They have a four game stretch of the Eagles into
the Chiefs, into the Lions into the Vikings.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
That's gotta be November.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Huh, weeks twelve through fifteen.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
It's gonna be tough.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
That's ugly. Number two it's the Vikings, but sadly the
Cowboys aren't part of their rough four game stretch.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
We figured that much the rude.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That kind of sucks, dude, because the Vikings are in
the Cowboys. It's like back in the day when you
were a kid, you're like, yeah, my best friend's Mike,
and then you go to Mic and you're like, Mike,
who's your best friend tom And your name's not Tommy.
You're like, oh, No, Vikings have Eagles, Chargers, Lions, and Ravens.
That's tough. Brown's at number three Ravens, Packers, Lions, Vikings. Yeah,

(02:11):
that Cowboys stretch is tough. Yeah, Eagles L. Cowboys. No, No,
Chiefs L, Lions L. Vikings.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Maybe possible. W there? Three and one? I mean anything
happened one and three?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Three?

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
What do they say, any given Sunday? Man?

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Yeah, that's a movie they actually say that.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, yeah, any given Sunday. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I saw that thought i'd bring it to start the shayk.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
You put me in a good mood right away.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
You're welcome. I am not the reason you lost your
Texas text off ball bet because I told you not
to do it.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
We all did it collectively, but I didn't tell you
to do it.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, I never No, no, Rider, No, I don't subscribe
to Rider Dian bets unless it's me betting my own stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
That was just a tough start to the weekend. It's
tough one, you know. And then Mike was the winner
out of all of that. I don't know if he bet,
but it's team on the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, congrats Texas.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
I didn't bet on it though.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
They just threw that picture all three games right, Like.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
I realized afterwards. I only bet the over. Oh yeah,
that time that I lost and I'm like, oh dang,
and I check and I'm like, oh cool, Actually I
just bet the over sweet.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, it's a great feeling thinking you lost and not
just winning, but realized you bet something totally differ because
your finger pushed the wrong button.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yes, that all the time.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
That is a great one. So yeah, we lost that one.
But the good news is Arkansas is in the College
World Series.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Just killed Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yeah in a row.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Get out of my way.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's ugly.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
I watched that one on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
It is ugly in a beautiful way.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Yesterday yeah, yes, uh the Grand Slam and I was like, oh,
it's over.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's what I said to my wife too. I never
say anything's over because I've just been a Arkansas fan
too long. Seriously at the Grand Slime because it was
like oh two, yeah, it was two or one two,
And I was just about to ask chat GBT, what
are the odds in an O two count that the
battery even gets on base, because I was just curious, like,
because they drop dramatically if it gets to O two.
And then he ripped it went right over the wall,

(03:59):
and I was like that's game game over.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Did you get a result? What was the war the od?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I didn't know.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I didn't get to and finish it.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, I was just about type it incs. It was
oh two and then he had him home run. I
forgot all about it. I was like ball game.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
It's funny that you lost your entrance, though, interest after
you saw it on that.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
One was yeah, so that happened. Arkansas's the end of
the college World Series.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
That was fun.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
That's a good sports weekend. And Thunder one last night easily.
They were up like fifteen and a half and I
was falling asleep and I thought, I cannot go to
sleep because I'm gonna miss the Thunder losing the game
gets out of control, and so I stayed awake a
little bit longer, and I woke up this morning and going,
oh great, And then they ended up winning big time.

(04:40):
Yeah they've recovered.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Nothing changed there. It was eleven and a half, I think.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, I think that was it too. Uh So Thunder
wins one to one. But the Pacers were heading the series.
They got right, they got one on the road, one
on the road. So now we're going to go to
it and the thing is I like the Pacers because
they're a small market team. We went and worked out
with them and love them, I know. But the Thunder
the same thing that. I mean, their small market team.
It's my wife's family's team all that. So I'm still

(05:05):
rooting for the Thunder. But if they lose, the benefit
is Eddie has to wear a throng.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah? Yeah, first game Game one, took the thong out
getting ready for it. Yeah, and then I put it
back last night, ironed it back in the cabinet.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Where do you put it at my drawer?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You don't have it with all.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
The with all of your other boxes, have one.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You don't have a thong. I turned on the PlayStation
and started playing PGA golflod But this weekend's and so
I started playing. And I now can see how kids
can get into so much trouble with the end game buying.
Oh yeah, because there are two ways on this game.
You can get a lot better. You can win so
much from scratch that you slowly get enough coins to

(05:48):
buy the better equipment. But I could see being twelve
and going, I just want the good equipment so I
can get better really quickly. And I probably I spent
like eighty eight bucks just to buy a set of
clubs that actually that's great.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Oh yeah, dude, on the game, like you buy new
clubs and not.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Just to look good, not just to look good, but
they actually are better clubs and now you can earn
them by playing hours and hours and hours and like
I'm in the corn fairy right now, but my clubs suck.
And so I was like, oh, I have money. I'm
an adult. I don't have to ask a mention. So
I spent eighty eight dollars in coins to buy a
set of clubs. I can see if you're a kid, though,

(06:24):
not only the clubs that make you better, but the
clothes spending.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah you look good, No, no, no, but actually the
clothes make you better too, right now they don't oh
they don't know. Oh okay, they can make you.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
They make you feel better, like confidence good, feel good effect.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
What does eighty dollars give you? Like like not specifically,
but are you going to jump straight to PGA now?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, you just get better clubs like the I started with,
like the factory wood. This is so lame, but I'm
gonna tell you I really had the moment of I
see where kids can get in trouble. Yeah, but they
don't have their own money.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
This is foreign to me. I didn't even know this
is a thing.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, So I had like the factory woods, factory irons,
and just like if you were to go and to
play it against sports and buy an old set of
clubs from fifteen years ago, they just don't have the
technology of the new ones. So that's how they make
these clubs. When you very first start out and you
have to, like in the amateur you have to qualify
and hopefully get on the corn ferry. It's just so
hard with the clubs where your max drive goes to
forty and people are going to seventy and to eighty

(07:19):
past you, which makes a harder iron shot and your
iron suck. So you're like, man, I could get a
lot better if I had better clubs, just like in
real life. So I spent eighty eight bucks and got
like forty five hundred coins and I bought a set
of clubs, and then I was gonna buy like some clothes,
and I'm like, what am I doing?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
I might not play this game again. It's a nice polo,
and I just made the note of clothes. That's dumb,
I wrote.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Spending money on PS five. I see where kids could
get in trouble doing this.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
They pay to win baby esp as what they're playing
with their friends, and they want to look better like
Skins whenever you're playing Call of Duty or you're playing Fortnite,
like all that. Now, my son gave me. He came
to me last night with a five dollars bill and said, Dad,
I need something for two k I'll give you the
money and then you you buy it. Because he doesn't
have an account like my account hack, so I don't
put my credit card on there. So now I have
to manually go in there and put my credit card

(08:04):
for any purchase they want, which is awesome because they
don't do what you did and just click a button
and like eighty dollars got a new Skins. But yeah,
he bought something for five bucks last night because it
was gonna make him better.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Now you can play from scratch and you can earn everything,
but it's just gonna take you ten years.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
What's the fun in that, though.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, the fun would be building something.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
I just know.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
I probably wouldn't play much, but I've played a bit.
I've played a few times this weekend. I just need
something when I wake up at two in the morning
and they can't sleep that I can just veg out
on and that PGA games pretty fun. It's like the Masters,
you try to get there. I'm still in the corn Ferry.
I've only made the cut and the Corner Fairy once.

(08:43):
I've played four rounds. I got cut both times, and
then my new club, so I did make the cut
at least I think I finished. I go forty four.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
You play a full eighteen? Yeah, okay, simulated? Well, you
play it simulated like as soon as you hit it,
like you go to the next I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Do you know how golf orks? But I haven't played
the video game. It's like playing basketball or football anything
else on.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Playing by yourself or with other ones or what.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I don't play online, okay, okay, but I don't know
how you'd play that online because you have to be
timed specific to start a tournament, where basketball you're on
a lot.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I don't know. Could you play as as a existing
PGA player?

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yes, if you're doing and I'm not gonna spend any
more time talking about this interesting. If you're doing like, uh,
play now, you can be a shuffler. You can be
whomever okay and do it.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Yeah, but you can't be like John rom because he's
player to live.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I don't know. I didn't go through it interesting. You
can be speed, you could be whomever. I don't know.
If it's PGA, I don't know. If it's people can
just get their likeness. I don't know. Because it's E sports,
could be people to just sell their likeness to EA sports.
But it's pretty fun. I think if you and I
got on it and played it together, we'd have a
good time doing it. No, you don't play games.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
I still have my console though. Yeah, but you don't
play I could.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
You don't play by the way I saw a comment,
almost didn't. I'm gonna bring it up.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Oh, here we go.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
You look triggered, not triggered. I just think that you're
a liar.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Who Yeah, Wow, that's quite the accusation.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Well, I think you're misleading in your comment and it's
about golf and you wrote it on Instagram. Anything come
to mine?

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Mm hmmm. I wrote a comment on Instagram, Yeah, and
I thought it was kind of misleading. Was it your page?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
It was either mine, probably probably mine, or maybe yours?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Was it a comment to the our golf trip.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Kind of a comment to somebody that wrote, so there's
a picture. It was either something I posted or something
Eddie posted. It doesn't matter and oh the score. Okay,
this is what Eddie said. Someone said, Eddie, hide you
play something you wrote eighty nine because Eddi and I
both shot at eighty nine on that course, correct, And
that guy thought said something like, oh, I thought you'd
play better that. He goes, well, my arm's still broken.
I'm still healing from it. Eddie's not better than an

(10:59):
eighty nine player in his life ever on a new course,
on a new course. You're not.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
You're not.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
I'm not either.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I've shot well, I've shot seventy eight, and I'm not
better than an eighty nine player.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Since I broke my arm, which is accurate, I can't.
I'm shooting in the hundreds now like which I've never done.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
You shot you shot at eighty nine, and he said,
I'm still working out my arms. I only shot at
eighty nine.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
That was so misleading to make you think he's some
seventies golfer, and he's not.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
You're not.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
I'm not a seventies golfer.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
So admit that you you were the opposite of Sandbagan.
What's the opposite of sandbaging?

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Uh, rock bagon? Yeah, sure, it's something heaviest sandag sand coming.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't know, but you made the guy think you're
a lot better except for your broken arm, and that
eighty nine is a low score for you. Not true.
Eighty nine is about what you would shoot with a
healthy arm.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
My point was if my arm was healthy, who knows
what I could That.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Was at your point, And I do know, because I've
got to do one hundred times.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
I could shot in the sixties.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
No, you couldn't because you never have.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
This is like daddy hit mama.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Man like this, you feel uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I saw it like a week ago and Eddie was like, yeah, man,
MAM's only shot eighty nine this time. But ma mo,
I'm still healing. And I'm like, dude, if you had
the healthiest arm in your life, you wouldn't have shot
better than eighty nine. Yeah, not generally, that's my point.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
You wouldn't have because I've been playing way worse after
I broke my arm. The whot I'm telling you, I know,
I know I could have shot in the eighty one,
even it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
About your broken arm. You got tired playing the part
three and you were like.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
That was a part three. We're not talking about that.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
If you would have shot like one hundred something and
said that then that's normal, then you'd be like.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Oh okay, I'd have been like absolutely accurate. But he
shot his normal score that he normally shoots. Yes, if
I shot, I shot at eighty nine a day, I
was like, I feel pretty good. Never played this course?
Yeah great? Could I have shot better?

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
What I've liked to have shot, like a eighty four.
That's like a really good round for me. In eighty
four and I'm not good, But I was like eight
eighty I not stop, just stop. I'm triggered because you're
a liar.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
It's funny, is how you interpreted that.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Okay, I'm just gonna find it, read it then and
then we can all interpret it. If that's what we
have to do.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, let's let's get into it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
You may go to and I.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Think it was on mine because I posted something and
then here, okay, Mike, would you please read what happened?
Someone asked him, what you shoot? He said, eighty nine.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
I'm still trying to get back to where I was
before I broke my arm.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
That's where you were.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
That I shot.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
No, you wouldn't have. That's the average of where you
were before I broke your arm.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
I feel like I played a great liar, Listen, I
feel like I played a great round that day, a
great round despite my arms still not being where it
used to be.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Now, when you say not where it used to be,
does it hurt or do you feel like it's not
as flexible?

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Like?

Speaker 6 (13:43):
What does that mean?

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Honestly, asked Brandon, Like there was one swing where he
heard it like pop.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
I did hear pop? And I haven't seen your the
swing before.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm telling you he shot the same scores.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Okay, Well, don't trust him, Brandon keep saying, keep talking.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
It was an abnormally loud pop.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, you ain't hearing my stuff?

Speaker 7 (14:01):
Pop?

Speaker 6 (14:02):
Yeah, January, that's true.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
My niece popped like I showing a cartlage.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Out of everyone.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I tore my shoulder and my rotator cuff I tore, like,
so we all have stuff that could have been your
back talking about it.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
I should have just said eighty nine and left it there. Yes,
eighty nine, But you're like you're trying to like trying
to get it was eighty four moving.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
On this story in New Mexico about the kid, the
pete and the water cooler or the other team. So
I want to read you the story, but also my
mind's blown. So they've already they're not charging him. So
I want to tell you this to begin with, a
sixteen year old junior varsity baseball player from Rio Rancho
High School, New Mexico, admitted to urinating in a rival

(14:48):
team's water jug This is during a game against La
Cueva High School. This is back in March. The incident
led to the suspension of the entire Rio Rancho JV team.
The Sandoval County District Attorney's Office decided on June third
not to pursue charges, stating that the act did not
meet New Mexico's legal definition of battery. Technically, no, no,

(15:12):
you can do anything to anybody's food in New Mexico.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Basically, what on earth?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
A sixteen year old junior varsity player from Rio Rancho
High School in New Mexico admitted to urinating. The Santa
Bal County District Attorney's Office decided not to pursue the charge.
Of stating that the act didn't meet the legal definition
of battery, which requires unlawful touching in a rude or
insolent way. The decision is upset summing community, who worry
it since the wrong message to students about accountability. Also,

(15:38):
messing people's food they don't really have from what I read,
they don't really have food laws where if you mess
somebody's food or what they're eating, drinking, consuming, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
They should move that up on the list of stuff
to talk about, like the next board meeting, the next house.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Isn't that crazy that nothing is going to happen to
the kid legally for peeing in somebody else's water container
and they were drinking it.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Yeah, that's that's terrible, that's awful.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
You may not have the answer to this, but did
they catch him pee in it or did somebody taste it?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I don't know if they drink it or not.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Note to self, pack a lunch if you're going to New.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Mexico Rio Rancho ain't doing it. Yeah, that's crazy. Huh yeah,
Hey what do you think about that? Giants fan?

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh dude, well, I mean tell them a story that
is crazy? Did you guys see this. I think they're
playing the Braves in San Francisco, and they the Braves
throw like they hit a shot out of the outfield
guys on third coming home, so the guy in the
outfield launches it to home trying to get the guy out,
and then another ball just shows up. So at home
plate there are two balls flying in the air and

(16:45):
you can hear the announcer go, oh my gosh, that clown,
some clown in the upper deck just threw that ball
down there, which players are like, this is so dangerous. Yeah,
like we could all get hurt down here or whatever.
No one has gotten caught for this. They don't know
what fan threw it or what get it from behind? Yeah, okay,
he threw it over the net and it landed right
around home plate, right around dude. The timing was amazing.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
They should kick the guy out because it's a guy
and definitely a woman. Uh once once, once they figure
out who does he's he's now banned three year band.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
They have cameras all over there, right because it was
from in the stadium. Oh yeah, he was not from
He didn't throw it over the stadium. There's a camera somewhere.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
They'll catch him three year band of any Major League
Baseball game if he does anything stupid again, Uh, your
band for live and no peeing in water jukes.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
No, I agree. Have you ever seen anyone throw a
ball in? Like, I mean, it's crazy A shock that.
Like I saw it, and I'm like, that's crazy, and
then I thought, I've never seen that before. I'm surprised
it hasn't happened. All right.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah, I've seen people throw balls back after home runs. Yeah,
and the other team hits it out, you throw it
back in.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, but I've never seen that before, to confuse the play.
That's kind of funny. Let to be honest though, it's
kind of funny too. It works out. It's kind of
funny you're confusing the catcher. Yeah, that's kind of funny.
All right, All take a break and we'll come back.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
As the Baseball College World Series is coming up, they
do something to this bar in Omaha where the team
that buys the most jello shots ends up winning this thing.
It's not a real trophy or anything, but it's tradition
that you kind of award the team that gets the
drunkest the championship at this bar. And every year they
keep up with the team that's ordered and drank the
most jello shots.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
And it was.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Novel and real for a while, but then it just
turned into rich people buying a bunch of jello shots
and not stupid. And so people want the bar to go. No,
if you're not gonna drink them, eat them, maybe eating
a jello shot, maybe a little bit of both. Yeah,
if you're not gonna do it, if you're not gonna
do it here and pay for it here, then we
shouldn't count it. That's what people want the bar to do.
But think how much money these bar, this bar bar

(19:56):
specifically is making. If rich people are just loading up
money and throwing it in so their team can win.
If I were this bar, I would not shut down
that way. How we're doing it? Like, yes, is it
not as fun? Is it gaming the system? If rich
people do it? Yes, But this bar probably waits all
year for this to happen so they can do the
jellow shot challenge, and so I see a lot of
people upset about it, but they're not thinking about what

(20:17):
if you were the small bar in Omaha. They probably
wait all year for this thing to happen.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Have you been to Omaha?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (20:24):
What's that like?

Speaker 1 (20:25):
I went to the College World Series a couple of
years ago. A few years agohen Arkansas was in What
do you mean?

Speaker 4 (20:30):
I've just never been to Omaha.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Omaha a few times. Just in general, I.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Feel like little town in Middle America, not much going on,
so like.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
A county crow Song.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Omaha.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Omaha is a cool town. Creighton's there. They have a
good college sports. It's clean. When we went, we flew
in and out the same day because we went to
watch a baseball game with all sighing. It sucks out
of Florida State beatis College World Series? No, it's nice.
It's it's a medium sized town. It's not a small town.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
It's bigger than I thought.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Have you been You played shows there.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Or something fun stuff to do around the stadium.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I don't you think I went for a whole tour.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
The board.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
No, I landed. We went and walked down, got something
to eat, went to the game. We were pissed. We
got back on the plane and went home.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's not a bad question. He is the wrong for
you asking.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Me if you had four nights there, what would you
do each? And I don't know. Have they got nothing branded?
It's like any other medium sized town.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
I got five. It's five hundred thousand population.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Did you google that?

Speaker 6 (21:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:37):
I was just super fan. Okay, I think it's like
any other medium sized town. They don't have pro sports,
but they're probably not big enough, but they are big
enough to have some major college teams.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
How long have they been doing the World Series? Because
to me is just random that the College World Series
isn't Omaha Brow.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
It's because they built kind of the infrastructure to host it.
The stadium. It's like Oklahoma City. So the University of
Oklahoma didn't start winning because they didn't make the College
Well Series go to Oklahoma City because of all their winning.
It was in Oklahoma City because they built that park
there way before Oklahoma got really good at softball. Oh

(22:22):
so people are like, well, they go to home field
advantage if they play it there every year. Of course,
it's like they built that way before Oklahoma was good. Yeah,
it just so happens. Oklahoma also got really good, like
the best ever. So I don't know. I've been there
enough to know.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
I'll ask some other people. You get a real answer.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Are you sure you're gonna ask?

Speaker 5 (22:39):
No? Do one thing that I was surprised. I used
to play guitar for Brett Eldridge.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Hey, shout out, Hey, big flecks.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
And we opened the Taylor Swift Tour. Allright, bigger flight. No,
but it was in Omaha. The opening night was in
Omaha at this massive arena. I'm like, why are we
in Omaha? And apparently because it's in the middle of everything.
That's where a lot of tours start because the the
routing makes it.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Geographically it's centrally located. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
So based on Major League Baseball historical data, I did
not mean to start this a batting average of oh
and two. The battery gets on a batting average of
one sixty Oh.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
This is your stat that you didn't have got it? Okay?
I was on Omaha.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
So if they have O two, about sixteen percent of
at bats reach base Wow, thought, yeah, so let me
see what about three to oh m? A three oh
count eighty. I don't think anything's going.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
To be eight hundred.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Do you know sports or no?

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Not really?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Okay, sports batting average on three hundred if you're O three, okay,
I mean we could do all that in between, but
that's basically both sides the randred.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
What's the percentage on that? Oh? No, right, three out
of ten.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
I used to play baseball with Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 8 (24:05):
Okay, okay, what a flex? He doesn't say anything, but
when he does, everything's a flex. He says nothing until
it's everything and everything's a flex.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Okay, We're gonna go now and talk with Brandon Marcelo.
Brandon Marcelo one of our favorite guests when it comes
to college football. He's usually on with us a lot
during the year, but we want to talk about what
just happened where all of a sudden, now teams are
going to pay players and they're limiting nil deals to
it has to be six hundred dollars or below, or

(24:43):
like a clearing house has to view it. So instead
of me get on here and just guess a bunch,
we're gonna talk to Brandon Marcelo now from twenty four
to seven Sports, and here he is. Brandon Marcelo on
with Brandon Marcelo, who as soon as I started reading
this House versus NCAA settlement, I thought I shall read
no more. I would just get random Marcelo on because

(25:04):
I just need you to walk me through this. So
from the start, first of all, old athletes are getting paid, right,
not all athletes, old ones though from like I don't know,
fifteen years ago or something.

Speaker 9 (25:16):
Yeah, for the past since twenty sixteen, Any former athletes
among those power conferences and everything are eligible to be paid.
And I think about three hundred almost four hundred thousand
former athletes have opted in to the settlement former athletes,
so they'll be getting checks over I think the next

(25:37):
like ten years if I recall, and the pay range
is all going to depend on kind of a formula
of back payments. So football players are going to receive
the majority of it, which is seventy five percent of
the about two point five billion dollars right now, and
then it kind of de escalates from down there, for
like fifteen percent for men's basketball, five percent for women's basketball,

(26:01):
and five percent I think for the remaining sports.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
So in this answer may not exist yet, but a
player like a Johnny Manziel or a Tim Tebow. Will
they get more or is it all every player that's
opted in gets the equal sliver based on their sport.

Speaker 9 (26:14):
Yeah, based off their sport equal sliver. So Johnny Manziel
will not be getting more money a Johnny Manziel type
of none.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yea, yeah, okay, So that was the first part, little part,
but now it's and I asked this for sports reasons
but also a selfish reason.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Let's talk this part. First. I can't give a player
I think it's up to six hundred bucks without it
going through a clearinghouse now, right, So that affects me
in that way, But also how does that affect these
nil collectives that we're giving tons of money to players
and it's not really for name, image and likeness.

Speaker 9 (26:49):
It neuters them at least that's the practice of it all,
the belief of it all. As you said, anything over
six hundred dollars, which practically every an IL deal is,
it's got to go through this clearing out and they
have to show that you're actually getting a return on
your investment. Here if you're a booster giving that amount
of money, which means if I'm paying you six hundred dollars,
better be doing six hundred dollars.

Speaker 7 (27:09):
Worth of work.

Speaker 9 (27:10):
Now, a lot of these deals, as you said, for example,
like Niko Iamaliaba where he was getting reportedly an eight
million dollar deal over four years, how do you prove
to the clearing house that he's doing two million dollars
worth of work other than playing football two million dollars
worth of work to return on that investment. So it's
going to be very hard for a lot of these

(27:31):
boosters and collectives that will still exist to a certain
extent to prove like what exactly is he doing on this?
But I guarantee you there are going to be a
lot of schools and NIL collectives are going to start.
They've already been brainstorming trying to be creative so that hey,
we are going to pay him this money, so you
bet we have to have these players actually do something
in return.

Speaker 7 (27:52):
I think you're going to see less.

Speaker 9 (27:53):
Money obviously come from the NIL collectives toward players, but
it's not going to stop the flow. You're still going
to have some very big deals there because one a
quarterback out there, say in arch Mainning, will be able
to draw that type of money. You can get a
three million dollar INIL collective contract. If you say you're
able to sign with a Nike or even a regional

(28:13):
restaurant chain or something like that, but you better go
out there on TV or social media or something to
promote that instead of just getting a a check handed
to you for not doing anything in return.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
How does this affect kids in high school though that
have no NIL value yet and they're getting paid at
a high school to come in.

Speaker 9 (28:30):
Yeah, they're pretty much just going to have to be
dependent on what they get with the revenue share part
of it, which is separate from NIL.

Speaker 7 (28:36):
Now.

Speaker 9 (28:37):
The revenue share twenty point five million dollar cap will
then be shared with athletes, and most schools are choosing
to only spread that money across about like six sports.
So a lot of schools on average have about nineteen
sports on their campus. A lot of them are just
going to share that with about six sports. Most of
that money, of course, is going to go to football
in men's basketball. A lot of schools are basing it

(29:00):
off of the back payment schedule, which is seventy five
percent football fifteen percent for men's basketball. Other schools are
choosing to follow their own revenue streams. So, for example,
if you're a Tennessee. I'm not saying Tennessee's doing this.
Big're at Tennessee and say eighty five eighty six percent
of your revenue generated is from the football program.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
Some schools are saying, well, we're going to share.

Speaker 9 (29:23):
Eighty five percent of that twenty point five million dollar
cap with our football players, and how they choose to
distribute that money within the football program is really up
to the discretion of the schools. So if college football
teams decide to kind of follow the NFL model, which
a lot of them really are already, you could see
a football quarterback, for example, probably fetch between two to

(29:45):
three point five million dollars because if you look through
the NFL, that's about the certain percentage amount that they
get from their own salary cap in the NFL. So
for basing it off the NFL model, you're still going
to have college quarterbacks out there getting two to three
point five million dollars a year, and that's based solely
off of the revenue sharing part of it, not in

(30:08):
addition to what they might get from their nil collective.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
So it's a salary cap we have general managers. I
mean it is becoming a little more I would say,
officially not an amateur sport, but a minor league.

Speaker 9 (30:24):
Right, yeah, it's semi professional. And listen, what's so interesting
about all of this is that college athletics believes that
now that they have this system in place after the
House settlement, they've created a new College Sports Commission to
oversee the settlement terms, which they will enforce these rules.
They will create this NIL clearinghouse to go through everything.

(30:47):
They're going to expedite rules enforcement, which means that investigations
that we've seen in the NCAA take years and the
CSC should only take months, if not weeks, and that
should help with that. They provide some guardrails there maybe
to corral this system and all the wild West stuff
we've been seeing over the last five years of NIL.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
But here's the fundamental.

Speaker 9 (31:08):
Issue with college athletics, because every team, every coach, every player,
every administrator is in a competitive environment where it's wins
and losses and everything. Just because they're putting guardrails up
and new rules and a new entity doesn't mean it's
going to be all that much different from what it
is in the past, because in the end, the competitiveness
comes out and every coach, every administrator is going to

(31:31):
try and find a way to go through the rules,
not necessarily break them, but to test them, to strengthen
them to a certain extent where they could be more creative.
So we've seen that throughout history of the NCAA. You know,
goodness gracious, remember years ago they created the Nick Saban
rule because of how he was finding a way to
go about doing more recruiting efforts just by using webcams

(31:53):
at the time, you know, before zooming all that, all
these schools are going to find ways to be more creative,
right to not call it cheating, but a way to
stretch the rules. And that's the fundamental problem with college
athletics and always has been, is that you don't have
guardrails so to speak, where you're punishing someone and saying

(32:15):
we'll just kick you.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
Out of this, out of this association.

Speaker 9 (32:19):
The threat is there, but they never do it, and
I don't think they're going to do it. And under
this new CSC you know, the last couple of weeks,
the big storyline has been that in the language of
these agreements that they're putting together to be part of
this new organization is that if you don't sign it.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
We could kick you out.

Speaker 9 (32:36):
Well, sure, but who really believes that they're going to
end up doing that. I don't see it. The NCBLA
has never really done it. And you're just going to
find more stories here over the next couple of years
of people being more creative to find a way to
get a running back an extra one million dollars through
thy NIL collective by doing some type of branding deal.

(32:59):
And I know I'm being a long winded here, but
for example, you know, the last five years, we've seen
an explosion of like hype reels on social media from
all the college colleges and their teams and Bobby, they
look fantastic.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
I mean, they win on Emmy.

Speaker 9 (33:15):
Awards on this stuff, regional Emmy Awards, and it looks amazing.
And the reason why they're spending all this money for
that is because it's part of their NIL collective. The
NIL Collective has said, hey, sign this deal with us,
and you give us your name, image and likeness, and
we can use yourself to build your own platforms.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
So they do these videos because.

Speaker 9 (33:34):
It's their way of saying, this is what we're spending
the NIL money on. We're making you bigger, your brand
bigger by doing all these incredible videos and images and
everything like that, And that was a way to kind
of prove it. So is there a way now that
things are going to be under a more of a
harsh spotlight that you can say, all right, let's continue
to those hype videos, but like, let's create our own

(33:56):
production company where we go do short documentaries, short films,
and we signed two or three players and say you
have to do a show with us every week or
be part of this inside documentary where we'll pay you
this certain amount for it, and we'll just continue to
put it out on our social media and it pumps
up our brand. And we already have the assets and

(34:16):
the staff here to be able to do that. Again,
I'm probably giving someone some free ideas out there, but
there's going to be ways that these schools can be
creative to make sure they can push across this six
hundred dollars threshold and prove to the new CSSE that.

Speaker 7 (34:31):
They are getting a return on their investment.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah. I could think of ways to launder and al
money already just with me. Let's see exactly. Let's say
there's a program that's a program that I care about,
so we'll use Arkansas here. And they wanted to get
an offensive lineman a colls of f one hundred thousand dollars.
All they have to do is come to me and go, hey, dude,
we give fifty grand. Just hire him to do some
stuff for you on your social to promote your things,
and we can pay and we'll just pay you all

(34:53):
of it and you pay him out of your one
of your big there's so many. I got seven ideas
now and out of lunder. Yeah, it's just a different
way for them to figure It's another strategy they'll have
to invent. But yeah, I know, I listen, Arkansas, you
can reach out. I'm happy to help that ideas. Yeah,
I got a lot of ideas. Okay, So I have
questions though, like schools like a Creighton or schools like

(35:14):
an Oral Roberts that don't have football to each university
have the ability to take whatever that amount of money
is to do it, however they want to.

Speaker 9 (35:22):
Do it under the House Settlement terms only those Power
five conferences.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, so they're not a power five.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (35:29):
Yeah, if you're not a Power five, you're not obligated.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
To do that.

Speaker 9 (35:32):
But we have seen some schools outside the Power five structure,
and some conferences say we're going to participate, but we're
not requiring our schools to do twenty and a half
million dollars. So, for example, the American Conference, which many
people consider to be the top group of six conference
out there right now, they're saying, we want you to spend,

(35:54):
like I camera the exact numbers, so forgive me, but
it's like three an average, about three million dollars a
year to invest in all your programs and share revenue.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
That's kind of what they're thinking.

Speaker 9 (36:03):
And a lot of other smaller schools they're thinking along
those lines too. A lot of schools are going to
share revenue, it's just going to be nowhere near what
the Power five is doing. What this House settlement terms
do is that it allows them, the other schools, even
outside the settlement, to say, hey, we're going to start
sharing our revenue too, but it's going to be nowhere

(36:25):
near that big number we've seen in the Power five.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
In the NFL, there's a minimum the team has to spend,
and a lot of pro sports, right so it keeps
people from just being cheap. Is there a minimum in
that with Power four that they have to spend.

Speaker 9 (36:37):
No, they have not set that because they all have
the money, they all know what they're all getting paid.
Because the Big ten, Big twelve, all of them, they
share the same amount of money practically with every school
from their revenue from TV revenue. So they're going, we
know you have the money, so it's up to you
to choose whether you go up to the twenty and
a half million dollars. Now, some schools probably are not
going to go all the way up to twenty and

(36:58):
a half million dollars, but most of them will because
they have the money to do so. Now, the interesting
thing is is the American Conference, as I mentioned, which
is outside this whole settlement terms, they decided that we
have set a minimum. You have to hit this certain
benchmark over the next I think three to five years
of sharing money. Otherwise your own membership in our conference

(37:19):
is at stake. And again that goes back to my
earlier point. They're threatening membership. This has always been something
that's been over the head of schools since the insublay
was really brought about. And will they actually enforce that
if a school doesn't comply, I have my doubts.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I would be interested to see a school and I'll
use the school no offense to Missippi State, but like
Misssippi State, who's really not that great at anything as
far as football, occasionally basketball, but not really not really
right that Mississippi And I was listening to Brandon Walker
talking about this. You know, they don't have any forty
to five hundred companies, right, and they have two schools,
and they don't have a lot of money to spread
out because the boosters aren't working in state for so

(38:00):
they only have a few rich people. That being said,
I could see somebody like Mississippi State going, you know what,
We're going to go all in on freaking basketball, and
they could really turn one of their programs into a
power program by taking fifteen million dollars and going all
into basketball, and at least you have one thing that's awesome.
Do you think that will be something that happens as
well at all?

Speaker 7 (38:18):
That's the big question.

Speaker 9 (38:21):
Which school is going to be that first school to
completely just almost ignore the revenue sharing portions of the
back payment schedule because again I mentioned it is seventy
five percent football, fifteen percent men's basketball. Right, some schools
are basing their future numbers off of how much revenue
their football program brings in, which is probably about eighty

(38:42):
to eighty five percent, so they'll give it to football.
But if one program just says we're just going to
buck the train and say we're going to give eighty
percent of our money to men's basketball, the problems that
arise there is you're going to open yourself up to
lawsuits not just Title nine stuff, but also from the
football programs themselves or even vice versa men's basketball against football,

(39:03):
because they're going to go, well, this isn't fair, this
isn't worth. The fair market value shows based off the
revenue of this program's generating. It generates nowhere in the
neighborhood of what they're getting right now, and that's going
to be challenged legally. Listen, there's gonna be a lot
of lawsuits stemming from this, lots of them. But instead
of you seeing lawsuits against the NCBLA or even against

(39:27):
the conferences themselves, most of these lawsuits in the future
are going to be against individual schools. So I mean,
in a worst case scenario, best case scenario, which way
we want to take it, you could see like twenty
fifty lawsuits launched here in the first few months of
this thing, and it's again, I think it's just gonna
get crazier before it actually even stabilizes.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Okay, my final thing, let's call it Bobby University. There's
a school power for Bobby University. They hire me to
come and do a four commercial series for them, Like, hey,
come out and you being four of our commercials, give
you one million dollars. Now, that wouldn't be so crazy,
and I'd be okay cool, But what the wink wink
is you also pay eight hundred thousand to that to
different athletes. They're not gonna put in writing anywhere, but

(40:10):
you pay eight hundred thousand to that to these different
athletes that we think to actually promote you and what
you're doing. Dude, I could launder this money legally so quickly.
You just need somebody that's also of value, that's not
a part of the athletic program, and you're paying them
to pay other people. Nothing illegal is happening. I'm in.
I'm in. It's first cool to reach out.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yes, yes, Bobby University.

Speaker 9 (40:33):
Yeah, I mean you're exactly right. I could see that
happening and with others as well, not just you. Bobby
but the thing is, it's like, I'm so interested to
see this nil clearing ouse, like just how hard fisted
they are against people?

Speaker 7 (40:48):
Are they going to drop the hammer on people?

Speaker 9 (40:50):
I will say that they hired Brian Seeley, an executive
from Major League Baseball who led their legal team and
in their investigative unit. So NMLB has been pretty hard
and their investigations and everything. But again that's within a
professional system with a very strong set of rules and
guidelines they have to adhere to.

Speaker 7 (41:09):
And then you've.

Speaker 9 (41:10):
Got this where again players are not employees, and yet
still you're hearing these power commissioners saying even as early
late as today, every athlete we talk to says they
don't want to be employees. And the reason why these
commissioners don't want these players to be employees is because
then they can unionize, then they can collectively bargain, which,

(41:33):
to be honest, if that ended up happening, that would
actually be good for these commissioners because then you could
have stronger guidelines that these players have to adhere to
that can maybe circumvent fair market value, which would cut
out the potential of deals like potentially your idea that
you're throwing out there, Bobby. But again, for whatever reason,
these Mustians don't want these players to be termed employees,

(41:55):
which I think again is a big mistake, and it's
just going.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
To allow people to be more creative.

Speaker 9 (42:00):
With how they spread out their cash and and the
return on investment.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Well, and also if they're employees, they could be contracted,
and if there's a contract, it kind of stops the
one year euro basketball transfer portal type situation we have. Now,
am I wrong there?

Speaker 7 (42:16):
I agree with you. I think that's very very likely.

Speaker 9 (42:19):
If you're to get collective bargain involved, you could say,
all right, you come to us, we'll give you two
year deal.

Speaker 7 (42:23):
We'll give you a three year deal, and to be
quite honest, nothing, I mean some things.

Speaker 9 (42:28):
Maybe legally we're stopping them previously with their nil collectives
to do that. So even for example, Bobby, you're familiar
with Arkansas, mad Mia Maliava, a quarterback Miko's brother comes
to Arkansas and only spends the spring there. And now
Arkansas is saying, well, we signed you to a one
year deal and we only got you for a few months,
and we paid you for a few months just to

(42:50):
come out and practice. You didn't play any games, You
didn't actually contribute anything to our product, and what we
end up becoming this fall. We want our buyout money
that you agree to in your comment tracked right now.
But you have lawyers representing him saying this isn't llegal.
You can't do this to a player, he's not an
employee and all that. But if you were just put
these guys as employees, that would give more teeth to

(43:11):
these contracts.

Speaker 7 (43:12):
And again it's everything's going to be challenged legally because
this is all new.

Speaker 9 (43:17):
But one way to make that so much stronger, I think,
is by terming players either as employees or some special
classification of employees, so we call them student athletes instantly
created that term. Well, create a new term form whether
it's student athlete or whatever. But allow them to be
have a special classification federally where they can quote unquote
unionize or at least be represented at the table for

(43:39):
collective bargaining. And also so they got their voices heard.
When you know the cs he's creating rules and potentially
that the players have no feedback on, Well, bring the
players involved there and then everything will be kosher.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, we're getting there. The Arkansas freshman quarterback. Things weird
because it's basically a half million bucks and he didn't
play and he left. But this is a terrible precedent
for us their kids to go and grab money and leave.
They could just do a money grab, like they literally
could go get paid with the intention of transferring out.
So I collect a couple hundred thousand bucks and then
I'm really going to head to the school I really
want to go to. Not that everybody has that kind

(44:12):
of leverage to do so, because I think that was
an anomaly of a situation where his big brother Tennessee
going to UCLA, so he's also going to UCLA. But yeah,
like Arkansas, let's not talk about Arkansas. But this is
specific to that what happened the occurrence more than it
is my fandom. But they have to get that money backer,
or the rules have to change, or this is going

(44:34):
to happen more often where a kid just takes the
money and runs.

Speaker 7 (44:37):
Yeah, and that's why Arkansas is pursuing it so much.
And yeah, it's a it's.

Speaker 9 (44:41):
An angle that very much, you know, concerns you, but
it's national. I'm going to tell you, like I've been
reporting on that and actually broke it that they're pursuing
the money.

Speaker 7 (44:50):
And you know, I had so many.

Speaker 9 (44:51):
Athletic administrative across the country reaching out to me asking
for details of so are like how are they doing it?

Speaker 7 (44:56):
Because we want to maybe do the same thing.

Speaker 9 (44:58):
Other people want to go after money that they're losing
because a lot of these kids have signed contracts that
say you need to stay here through this date to
get the full payment of your contract. Also, if you
break it early, you os buyout money. And the issue
is is again toothlessness here. The schools aren't enforcing those contracts.
They're just going, well, we don't want to do that

(45:20):
because that could look bad on us. And also where
it's the legality in that is they're actually strong legal
teth to all this.

Speaker 7 (45:25):
And again it goes back to my whole thing.

Speaker 9 (45:26):
Since the creation of the INSTABLA, there's threats, oh, if
you don't do this, you can't be a member of
this association, and then they never really follow through. And
again we're still in that space, and I think we're
still going to be in that space after the CSC's
created and revenue sharing starts.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Toly one Brandon, we really appreciate the time. You guys
follow Brandon on Instagram Brandon Marcelo and read his articles
on twenty four to seven sports dot com. Appreciate the time.
I'm sure as football season comes back around, we'll have
more of a regular occurrence here. We'd love to do
that again. And I know we just messaged you last
minut last night, so thanks for coming on and explaining it,

(46:02):
because I think I would have got everything wrong. I
think I would have said literally everything wrong, and that's
why we needed an expert here. So thank you, Brandon.

Speaker 7 (46:08):
Thanks Bobby.

Speaker 9 (46:09):
I look forward to one day actually talking football instead
of courtroom proceedings.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Yeah, and I'm glad that's why we had you because
my court room proceeds would have been very wrong and
I would have been sued somehow for being so wrong. So, uh, Brandon,
good to talk to you, and hopefully i'll talk to
you again soon. The NBA Finals are here and Draftking

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Two things. We don't talk about a lot here, but
it's really dead sports time. Did you watch and we
watched the tennis match no French Open. I'm so mad
to me either. I just saw the betting odds or
like plus six hundred whatever, it was sixty sixty five hundred.
He was down like forty zero. The guy was Alca.
Yeah we're talking about yeah, whoa. He was way down

(47:52):
and came back and won it. I don't know, I
don't follow tennis much anymore so, but I just saw
all of time with the betting odds. I was like, dang,
you jump on that then.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
Yeah, that would have been awesome.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
And then the UFC fight. Did you watch it?

Speaker 9 (48:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (48:03):
It was a bus dude, it was well, it was
a bus because I thought O'Malley, Sugar Sugar Sean Ole,
O'Malley would win that. It was a remake.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
He got he got some.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
He submitted, dude, he got submitted. It was a rematch.
So they fought last time. He got his butt beat
and then again, dude, he got submitted, tapped out, pretty stupid,
lost some more money. So I'm probably going to take
a break again.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
You're taking more breaks than you are on. Is that
even taking a break, or is when you're on the
break you're taking from being off I keep.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
Telling myself I'm not going to reload, and then every
week I reload. But like, I really need to take
a break because I lost on that Saturday night and
then I hit on NASCAR, which I never had a Nascar, dude,
that's not a break. Listen, this is an intervention NASCAR.
Nascar is doing it right on prime, dude. So it's
really fun to watch, and if you bet on it,

(48:54):
it's a lot more fun. But I want with Denny Hamlin.
Denny Hamlin, I put a couple of dollars in Denny Hamlin,
he wins the race. I've got twenty five bucks to
play with. And I go and look at golf and
there's a playoff going on at the RBG Canadian Open
whatever that's of course, there's a playoff hole going on.

(49:14):
Two dudes, Sam Burns and Ryan Fox.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
I played with Sam Burns. I know, yeah about what
I lost lost.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Yeah, they went four four extra holes and then finally lost.
So I lost all my money, which probably gonna need
a break. Okay, Well, but yeah, I watched UFC. How
much I cost. Yeah, I kind of want to run
something by you guys, because I did try it. I
have no problem paying for UFC. It's eighty dollars. I
think it's worth it. I love UFC. You get all

(49:45):
the early prelims, and the prelims are all on ESPN
Plus you can watch those, but the main card you
have to pay eighty dollars. No problem. I got on
my TV, try to get on the remote. I hit
purchase error. Okay, let me get on my computer scan
the code. Purchase error. So I'm like, man, I'm not
going to get this. But I get on TikTok and

(50:06):
I'm not in it, not with the intention of watching
it on TikTok, but I started scrolling and then you
see this guy like, eh, we're live man USC going
on right now, and he's got his phone on the TV,
and I'm like, well, this is the fight. Yeah, he's
streaming the fight. So I watched the whole fight on
his string. Nothing wrong with okay. And they would have

(50:27):
pulled his feet off TikTok if they hadn't known what
he was doing. Yeah, I've seen that happen before, where
they you're good, hey, don't feel bad. Well, the thing
is too like I did. I did and I lost
on on that fight. Dude, I do but see, here's
the thing. I was screen screen sharing it. You know,
where you get your phone, you put it on your
TV and screen share, but on TikTok it's straight up right,

(50:49):
So it was kind of small on on my TV.
And people started messaging this dude, which he didn't have
to stream this, you know, he's doing out of the
kind of kindness of his heart, and people were like, hey,
can you rotate the phone. He'd rotate the phone and
then the other half people be like, hey, no, man,
I'm screen sharing, Like, well, you go back up, and
then he put it back up. It was a fight
the entire time, and finally him like, man, poor guy,
Like he's just doing this to be nice, and people

(51:10):
are just so demanding. Kind of put me in a
bad mood when you were stealing the fight. I was like,
just leave the guy alone, man. And then people were
making fun of the decorations he had under his TV,
like people are just rude. And he had a neon
sign on his Teva that said it's a vibe, So
people were making fun of him about that. You did

(51:31):
nothing wrong, Thank you, thank you. I might start doing
that from now though.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Speaking of bets to rap, let's say if I should
cash out or not. I bet a three pick parlay.
I bet one hundred and fifty bucks on Arkansas, oklahom
City thunder in the Chicago Cubs. One hundred fifty bucks
pays eleven thousand dollars right now, the cash out is
ninety two dollars. I wouldn't cash out on that. Nope,
Next up Arkansas to win the National Championship. I bet
a thousand bucks on that. The cash out is twelve

(51:58):
hundred and seventy four dollars. The winning is forty eight hundred.
Who they plan next lsu but it's double elimination. Now
would you cash out for two hundred bucks? A twenty percent?

Speaker 4 (52:14):
And if they lose, you lose how much?

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Well? No, that blows twice?

Speaker 4 (52:17):
No, I know. But if you lose the bet, you
lost a bucks? Oh that hurts it. I might cash out.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
You cash out for a two dollars? No, it's like,
but if you have a thousand bucks in your betting it,
you can't be you can't like wimp out.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
You gotta be scared a little bit if I bet
a thousand like, but.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
You wouldn't you be too scared of bet a thousand.

Speaker 6 (52:33):
But like Eddie, if you've bet five bucks and you
could cash out for seven dollars, like, would you do it?

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Would be six? Actually, it'd be six dollars or six percent.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
Okay, yeah, six dollars.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
No, I wouldn't do that, right, Okay, good, thank you, Kevin?

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Yeah, good job.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
You put it to my skill. I like it.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, so stay in it.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
It makes more sense.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Oklahoma City Thunder, I accidentally bet one hundred bucks. I
didn't make mean to make this bet to win one
thirty three. If they win the whole thing, I can
cash out for one hundred dollars and eighty four cents.
I can't chot for eight moree no, okay, all right?
So basically the only one I can really make money
off of is Arkansas to win the National Championship. I

(53:09):
can make twitter seventy four dollars right now on a
thousand dollars bet, and we're not. I don't feel like
I should do it.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
No, okay, A man, I would have done it, but no,
But if it were breaking down to my five dollars skill,
don't do it. Got all right? That's it?

Speaker 6 (53:23):
I think anything on your mind, Kevin, Yeah, the only
thing really is. I watched the Red Sox and Yankees
take you know that, But I gotta say, like, really,
obviously that's the big rivalry, but it's just not there
for me anymore.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
It's not the same.

Speaker 5 (53:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (53:38):
And I couldn't even name four or five of the
Yankees guys, and I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
There's just two things have happened. One, you've gotten older.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Baseball is not as romantic to you because you're an
older person who doesn't have one. You see sports differently. Also,
even though you still freaking love Boston, but now you
have priorities and things. And then tow there's one hundred
and sixty two games, right, it's a waste.

Speaker 6 (53:59):
But like even the think he's players, I don't really
hate any of them, Like Judge is amazing, and you can't.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Really you're an adult man, That's what it is. Because
I don't hate the Cardinals.

Speaker 6 (54:08):
Yeah you see a Goldsmith by the way, it's on
the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Yeah's crushing it.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
But now.

Speaker 6 (54:14):
They have a couple of guys where you're like, oh,
five years ago, this guy is awesome. Mickey Mantle, Mickey Yes,
Yogi berra a great bambino. Yeah, but yeah, okay, maybe
that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Yeah, you're getting older, you have kids, priorities, lives.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
He just got his kids.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
All of a sudden, exactly like you just bought a
girl at Lalwmark.

Speaker 4 (54:32):
He just not the girl.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
You start to see them as normal humans as well. Yeah,
maybe a business decisions.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
When you were a kid, that person had left your team,
like screw them, or there was a lockout, you'd be like,
screw the owners, We just screwed the players.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
They should they should just go play for the love
of the game. But then you get older, you're like, oh,
it's a business. No, the players, they're getting screwed. They
should stay and everything changes one the more you learn
about life. You have a mortgage now being a kid man, Yeah,
go back, dude.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
He's watching a little.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Bit of THEAUSL, which is the new professional Softball League,
and the good thing about it is they can still
make up make how their game is going to be,
meaning you're traditionally gonna leave all the rules of softball.
But it's a new league, so there are no records yet.
Where baseball gets into trouble and making changes is it's
been one hundred and six and two games. It's quote

(55:23):
America's past time. They have all this data and history
with baseball, so if they change too much, the records
won't be the same. Where the NFL is embraced. Okay,
we're gonna do more games. Okay, so O J. Simpson
rush for two thousand yards in a twelve game season,
that's amazing. But now let's seventeen eighteen games. People breaking records,
but they're like whatever NFL is like, everything's changing. Records
are gonna get broken, big deal. Baseball doesn't want records

(55:44):
to get broken unless they're broken with the same standard.
If I were the softball league they just started, I
would incorporate normal softball rules, but I would also look
at the most successful sports product right now, the freaking
Savannah bananas. And I'm not saying to do flips and crap,
but they need to do fun stuff any league, not
just one MIT's softball. If you're starting a new league

(56:04):
right now, look at what's working in a non traditional
way and make that now traditional because it's hard to
get butts and seats to anything because there's everything out there.

Speaker 5 (56:15):
Yeah, that's a good take.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
So they just started this whole league, and they had
the first the opening in Wichita, but they're going to
play them all back in Texas. It's going to be
kind of like the UFL, where all those teams in
the UFL are all hubbed there. Even they're named after
Dinver cities, and so they're going to play and they
want it to be a success. And I have been
put on Twitter. I was like, I want to buy
a team, and they're like, well, right now, we're really

(56:37):
not selling any teams. The league just started. I'm like, okay, well,
let me know. I want to buy in. But you
should look at the Savannah Bananas and even how now
they have like I think four or five or six teams,
and how much fans love going to these games. Because
in the end, it's an entertainment product. And also with baseball,
they don't change because they're worried about old people getting
upset about records. And in this league they need to

(56:57):
do fun stuff. If they were starting a new base
fall league, I said the same thing. So it's not
about women in softball. They need to do fun stuff
for the fans. They keep them engaged. So that's all
that's my I didn't really think I was gonna come
with that off the dome.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
It's in that video. Didn't like they care to give
a crap. What's fun about the savanna banana stuff is?
And I get fed some on TikTok is, Like if
a fan catches the ball, it's counsel as an out
if they want it.

Speaker 4 (57:25):
To that's cool.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Yeah, And they do trick plays, that's all. They did
three trick plays in two minutes, all in the same
inning the other day. The outfielder did a flip and
caught it. They it's awesome.

Speaker 6 (57:35):
I like how they bring the local like legends out. Yeah,
like they saw they brought out Troy Gloss for the
Angels last week or two weeks ago, and that was cool.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
They were and I think Charlotte and they brought out
three former Panther players like Luke Keikley and Jonathan Stewart.
It played, So it's awesome. Like they that's the Harlem Globtrotters.
And I'm not saying go that far with a new
league with series, but they need to implement some of
the strategies that those type of teams are doing because
that's what people want to go they're selling seventy thousand

(58:04):
in see, they're selling football stadium.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
And they're on TV now to watch baseball. People want
to watch it on TV because baseball is not gonna change,
because they're so frigging dialed into we have to stay
the same. You're gonna die if you stay the same.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (58:17):
They change a pitch clock and they think they're revolution Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:20):
Yeah, people won't be able to stand how aggressive we're getting.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
