Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eleven and then Ian Ritchie coming up at noon. All
your fantasy football picks, will take your texts, will take
your calls, you name it, all that, And obviously, hey listen,
cannot wait for Sunday one oh five in just over
what do we got here? Fifty one hours? Come on
(00:23):
out to Buckle Shoot Casino Resort, Galaxy join me. I'll
be out there for the Seahawks Rams game, the Seattle
away game, Rumble watch party. We'll have kjr T shirts
to give away. Their Corona and Modello girls will be there.
It'll be good time, a great time. We had a
(00:44):
packed house for the Commanders game, which was on a
Sunday night a couple weeks ago, but this one will
be an earlier start. So I want everybody to come
on out. Each and every one of you are invited.
Even the people that you know hate me, You are invited.
You might end up leaving their liking me even or not.
So come on out to Galaxy at Muckleshoe Casino Resort
(01:05):
on Sunday. Can't wait for the big game. And obviously
we'll be talking at nauseum about this game. But I
got to start with something first. So I was born
and raised in case some of you joining this show
for the first time since I've been here on Monday,
February tenth, so just over nine months flown by. And
(01:29):
I was born and raised in the Northeast. I hate
the Red Sox. I hate the Yankees. I hate them both,
you know, just so much. It's it disgusts me. I
grow up an hour from Fenway Park, and I worked
basically for the Red Sox when I used to be
an anchor at their network known as Nessen New England
(01:51):
Sports Network, which is also the network for the Boston Bruins.
So and I probably hate the Red Sox more than
in the Yankees because I kind of worked for the
Red Sox and John Henry, who's also the owner of
the Boston Globe and the Pittsburgh Penguins and Liverpool so
he's he's got some money, he's he's a multi billionaire.
(02:13):
He's very eccentric, he's very weird. But I will say this,
He'll put his team in the utmost position to succeed,
neither here nor there. I wanted to come in here
today and say what probably you know, and I have
people you know texting me, are dming me on Twitter.
(02:37):
We have a poll out there and we'll get to
that in a second. You can go to my Twitter
handle Mark James, m A R C James. We'll get
to that in a second. Cal Rowley was robbed of
the MVP last night. He was, but not for the
reasons you think, not for the and you know, some
(02:58):
people are emailing me that people who work in the
media on you know, in TV or radio or going.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The East Coast boys.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, no, no, no, he got robbed because of dumbass bias.
He got robbed because it's just the same old prototypical
baseball writer bias. It wasn't East Coast it wasn't. And
(03:31):
I wanted to come in here and I wanted to say,
and I want to come here and be like, you know,
that's the reason why the And then a fact kind
of presented itself from the guy who's been a sports
writer here for nearly thirty years, the great Larry Stone.
(03:51):
And Larry Stone just presented the fact. Voters from the
Pacific time zone voted for Raleigh five to one. Voters
from the Eastern time zone split seven each. Voters from
the Central time zone with nine to one for Judge.
(04:12):
It wasn't the East Coast bias that did him in.
It was the Midwest in Texas. Those are facts. Now,
you can come on here and if you work on
another station whenever you want to do the cheap, lazy,
predictable take schools boys. Yeah, no, No, it was dumbass bias.
(04:35):
It was dumbass That's what it was. It was because
how can you sit here and say, it's East Coast bias?
Who won the MVP last night for the National League?
Who won it last year for the National League? Two words?
Show Hao Tani? Where does Sho Hao Tani play baseball?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The Dodge Arts?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What did Show Hao Tani win his first MVP awards?
The Angels? Where do they play in la Anaheim? The
West Coast? So you can't have it both ways. You
can't ser schools boys and then look.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
At the other side. You can't do that. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
With that being said, cal Rawley is like, and I'm
gonna I'm gonna go through everything here, but I just
gotta set a lot of people straight. And it's a cheap,
week lazy take to say East Coast bias. And I
don't care who says anybody says he it's cheap week
and lazy.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
How many MVPs the New York Mets have won and
their entire history, Christopher Kidd, just off the top of
your head, how many MVPs do you think Mets players
have won in their entire history?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Just guess how much do you think they won?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You knew I was going to ask you that. You
knew I was gonna ask you that. But that's the answer.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
That is the correct answer, that no, they don't have nobody.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, listen, hey that Tom sever real good, Mike Piazza,
Tom Seaver, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Pete Alonzo, Juan Soto.
The New York Mets since nineteen sixty two have never
won an MVP. So don't you think if there was
an East Coast bias the Mets.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
In how many years have they been around? I mean,
do the math when.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They won one MVP one Darryl Strawberry got ripped off
in nineteen eighty eight to Kirk Gibson, who had nobody.
This was this is not the postseason with the home
run versus Dennis Eckersley in the Oakland A's. This was
(06:58):
the regular season. The Mets have been around for sixty
three years. They have no MVPs. Is that a where's
the East coast bias?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
There?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
No, it was the dumbass bias, That's what it was,
plain and simple, And the dumbasses were in the Midwest
and Texas, not the East coast. Cal got love on
the East Coast, unlike death Row records at the nineteen
ninety five Source Awards. He got love, he got I
(07:29):
mean he split, so that was a dead heat. He
won the West coast. It was the Midwest in Texas
That's what did him. Then it was just dumbass bias. Now,
with that being said, let's look at just the unbelievable
season of Cal freaking Raleigh and let's appreciate it right now.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Set record.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Most home runs by a catcher, most home runs by
a switch hitter, most home runs in Mariners franchise history
in a singular season, seventh player to reach sixty plus
home runs, and tied the record for the most multi
home run games with eleven. The Mets have zero MVPs.
(08:17):
The Mariners have two. And by the way, I was
surprised there.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Was only two.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I thought Ken Griffy Junior won three when he was
here in Seattle, and he should have now, you know,
and he lost one one year a Juan Gonzalez in
Pudge Rodriguez, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So like that shocked me the most.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The Mariners have more MVP winners and they've been around
fifteen less years than the New York Mets. Where's the
East Coast by is there? I'm doing the Hull Cogan
to my ear right now. Huh, I don't hear you.
Where's the East Coast Bys there? So if you want
(08:57):
to come out with a cheap, lazy, take East cost
host bias, it's weak, it's predictable, and it's completely totally
effing lazy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It is, plain and simple and like coming on sports
talk radio and saying.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh, who's better, Jordan or Lebra? That's what it is.
It's lazy. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
To quote the second pick in the two thousand and
seven NBA Draft from the Seattle SuperSonics, Kevin Durant, when
he won the MVP. At his ceremony, he said to
his mom, you the real MVP. Cal Raley is the
real MVP. He should have won it, but he didn't
(09:48):
lose it because of an East coast bias. So I
want that because if he lost it because of an
East coast bias, how comes show. Haes won four unanimous
MVP of in the last five years, and he even
switched leagues in between winning his second MVP to his
third MVP.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Buehler Buehler, Anyone, Anyone? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So those are the facts, and I'm and I thank
Larry Stone for putting that out there, for putting that
out there about the votes, So don't come at it
with East coast bias. He won it because of dumbass,
stupid bias, Yes, and he is the real MVP and
he should have won it. That I will say eight
days a week and ten times on Sunday. Just don't
(10:36):
use that. Just don't use that because it's weak and
it's predictable, and I you know, it's just stupid. It's
just it's plain stupid. Who won the MVP last year
in the NBA? Who Jalen Brunson, No? Oh, where does
he play New York City?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
How about Donovan Mitchell? No where does he play Cleveland?
No shake Gildas Alexander on the Oklahoma City Thunder. So
you can't go there. You just don't do that. It
just stop it. Okay, Now we have a pull up
there on Twitter and I put it out there. Do
you believe now this is a different thing? And wow,
(11:20):
We've already gotten one hundred and five votes since I've
come on the air. Holy guacamole, Batman. Do you believe
that cal Rawley would have won the MVP if he
was on the Yankees? Now that I don't know, We'll
never know. Dan Patrick, one of the best sports saw
(11:41):
Coasts and Broadcasting Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Here's what he got to say about the MVP.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I said, I would be fine if Aaron Judge won
the MVP. He put up great numbers. His numbers a
lot better than cal Rowley except for the home runs.
Here's the question I would ask when Yankee fans get
sensitive about this. If Aaron Judge was on Seattle and
cal Raley was on the Yankees, who wins MVP. And
(12:07):
that's a rhetorical question, because we know that cal Raley
as catcher of the Yankees, and he is a goal
glove catcher.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
He is going to be your MVP.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
They would talk about, oh my gosh, he's the next
Thurman Munson.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We know this.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
This played a role now Aaron Aaron Judge can be
a liability in the field. He's not a good outfielder.
He's a great hitter. He's going to be a Hall
of Famer. Cal Rawley plays the most important position in baseball.
He's out there every single day. Look at that pitching staff.
He helped develop a very good young pitching staff. They
(12:47):
made the playoffs. I got a factor in all of
those things. But I think the hammer is if cal
Rawley was the catcher for the Yankees, hitting sixty home runs,
win the division, developing a young pitching staff, being a
Gold Glove catcher, he wins the MVP. Aaron Judge is great,
(13:11):
the numbers are phenomenal. Batting average was you know, probably
fifty points higher. I understand all of those things. The
hardest position, most important position. You got a Gold Glove
catcher and sixty home runs. Okay, you know how many
games he missed three? I don't know if he gets
another chance. That's not why I would say, you know,
(13:33):
he deserved the MVP. I would just say we forget.
When you're a catcher, I mean it's you never get
a day off when you catch. I can put Aaron
Judge in the outfield, and he might get four balls
hit his way. We've seen him, you know, in the playoffs,
be a lot liability out there. But it's not really
about he's not a great fielder. It's that cal Rawly
(13:56):
is a really good catcher and he hit sixty home runs.
And I don't want this to be that I'm anti
Judge as much as I just think you got a
factor in where cal Rawley was doing this in Seattle
and the importance of doing it in a big market.
Now Otani could play anywhere and still.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Win the MVP.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
But I mean he did it with the Angels, but
I think cal Rawley, to me, location is what prevented
him from winning the MVP.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Okay, I respectfully and vehemently disagree. I don't think market
size has anything to do with it anymore. Aaron Rodgers
won four MVPs for the Green Bay Packers's smallest market
in professional sports, Green Bay, Wisconsin. I don't think it
has anything to do with anymore. I think there was
certainly the uh Texas voters in the media they wanted
(14:54):
to punish because the Astros didn't make it. I think
you there's a case there. I believe there's a case there.
But seven to seven in the East Coast you split,
so it was a non factor nine to one in
the Central time zone. So the idiots in the Central
time zone Midwestern Texas, shame on you. You should all
have your votes revoked because cal Raleigh, to quote Kevin Durant,
(15:18):
you to reel MVP period exclamation point. Just stop with
a cheap, lazy take East Coast bias. You can't do
that anymore. Back in the day, fine, there's MLB package
and all that stuff. Now every game can be seen,
there's MLB Network. There wasn't when Ken Griffey Junior won
(15:40):
the MVP or each Row won the MVP in two
thousand and one. Everything is available now. You have social media.
The highlights come on your phone if you want alerts.
Now you can't say that anymore. You just can't do it.
MVPs come in small markets Oklahoma City, Green Bay, so
I'm not going to go there that I'm not gonna go.
(16:01):
But there's certainly whether it was some vendetta because they
don't like cal Raley and they wanted to stick it
to them. Because the Mariners took the division. The Astros
missed the playoffs. I'll go with that. I'm with you
on that one, But just don't go with the East
Coast Bies who won the cy Young Trek Scougle plays
in Detroit. Who do he win it over? Garrett Crochet?
(16:24):
Where does he play Boston Red Sox? Was there an
East Coast Bies?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
There?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
No Paul Skeens Pittsburgh, look at that market?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No, so Dan, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I think you're the best interviewer in the history of
sports broadcasting, television and radio. I'm not gonna go there.
I'm not gonna go there. But the votes are out there.
You can go to the Twitter handle KGr as Well.
Y'all are voting, and you are voting big time right now. Uh,
eighty nine percent say yes already. Eighty nine percent said
if cal Raley was on the Yankees, he would have
(16:58):
won the MVP.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's a whole different story.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But I just believe you have some jealous Texas and
Midwest idiots who cost cal.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Raley the MVP.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And here's the thing that sucks about it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Just like blowing Game seven with eight outs to go
in Toronto, I don't know if cal will ever have
another season like that again. I don't know if and
catcher in the history of baseball will ever have another
season like that again. But Cal Raley, from now on,
I will call you real MVP. I think everybody here
in Seattle and PNW you can agree upon that. You
(17:35):
to reel MVP. As Kevin Durant would say, period exclamation point.
Who knew that a freaking football Friday, brought to you
by Tito's handmade vodka. I would be going all in
on baseball on Friday, November fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You know, it's just it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Okay, it's it sucks, but you know what, Col's probably disappointed,
but I bet you I would guarantee Col's more pissed
off would blow in a three to one lead with
eight outs to go in Game seven in the ALCS
in Toronto than he is. He would have given Judge
the next three MVPs if he could have won that game.
(18:19):
And that's the type of player, an individual he is.
He's about team.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Cal is about team. There's no eye in team, and
there's no eye in Cal. He's all about team. And
he is the real MVP. It is what it is.
It's a biased award, just like so many things are subjective.
All right, got that off, No, thank you on the
text line, I appreciate it. Calm down, we don't want
you to have a stroke. I appreciate that. My grandfather
(18:48):
God rest his soul up in heaven now. He just
died two months ago. He used to see, you're gonna
have a heart attack. You gotta be careful, you're gonna
go well, hey, I'll tell you right now, there's not
many better ways to go out than being live on
the air doing something I love. Christopher Kid, Imagine if
I had a heart attack on the air, like dude,
I'd be dying doing something I loved. How many people
(19:10):
can say that. There'd be one other There'd be one
other way to go out which would be better than this.
It would evolve a certain female named Susie Cortez. But
that's a whole nother story. But hey, if I have
a stroke or have a heart attack on the air,
be great for ratings, right, I'm all about ratings, man,
So let's go LFG all right, So, but I appreciate you, No,
(19:32):
I just get I get fired up when everybody goes
with the consensus populace take and in this case had
nothing to do with it. And I gotta admit, if
I didn't read Larry Stone's tweet about how the voting
went down, I might have come on here and probably
would have gone with the East Coast bias.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But not once that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Was illustrated, Larry gave the fact an ideal in facts
and that's it. Facts don't give an about your opinion.
They just state the truth period and cal Raly is
the real MDP period. All right, Wilbow from circa Seahawks Rams,
the line has come down, Where's the action?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Where's the handle?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Totals so much to get to and factor fiction eleven
thirty five and why are the Seahawks the number one
team in the NFL Power rankings? The guy who did
that will tell us at eleven Eric at home right
here on MJ in the midday.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
We talked to him each and.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Every Friday, Chris Wilberdang aka Wilbo, as he's affectionately called,
the director of operations at the Circle Las Vegas. So
Wilbow tell us this the where did the line open
up for Seahawks Rams? And what kind of movement have
we seen since it opened up when it came out.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah, no, thanks for having me, Mark. So, Seahawks Rams
obviously going to be, you know, the marquee matchup of
this weekend with two of the top teams in the
NFC playing against each other, you know, divisional rivals. Looking
at this, we opened at minus two and a half
to the rams. The total was forty eight and a half.
(21:17):
We are currently at minus three, still on the rams, obviously,
and then that went up in the total a half
point to forty nine. So not much movement when it
comes to the line and the total, you know, but
you know, when it comes to the amount of bets play, yes,
that's about even. It's about fifty to fifty. However, there
(21:42):
is a large amount of the money on the rams
this week when it comes to the side.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Interesting, So rams minus three, can you give a percentage
or just it's just more?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Can you see you're.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Looking you're looking at around ninety percent of our handle
at the moment is on the rams for this game.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Ninety percent is on the rams.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, yeah, that I mean, obviously this is a massive game.
It's later in the day, so this can obviously change.
But you know, looking at it, two days out. You know,
that's kind of where we're at when it comes to
the handles, the versus the bets.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wow, not I thought you were gonna say, sixty five
to seventy ninety percent, that is insane.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
We definitely got some sharp money coming in on the rams.
So that's happening as of now. You know, it's it
is kind of crazy because, yeah, Mike McDonald, who was
eleven to one on the road, you know, so that's
surprising to me as well.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, that definitely surprising. And you guys were the
ones told me your boss, Derek Stevens came out and
said that back in August that there was a huge
syndicate that came in and said they put a lot
of money on the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Ball.
And right now they're looking quite prescient and omnission if
I do say so myself, Wilbo.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So that's I'm shocked.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
My jaw is practically on the ground ninety percent on
the rams that they.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Watched the Seahawks team play. Like all right, But you
know what though, Wilbo, when the public goes all the
way one way, you know, now here's the thing I don't.
I'm not on Sunday, and we're not gonna talk to
you on Sunday or day if I text you. But
let's wait and see where the sharp money comes in
(23:33):
at the end and the steam comes in at the end.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That's the thing to always keep back.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We've got Wilbo fifty hours and twenty two twenty six
minutes until kickoff, so a lot, right, somebody could come in,
Billy Walters, I mean, listen to some sharps could come
in and place a big bet and and kind of
you know, ninety percent in a game, that's wow, you.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Said it, Mark, I don't. I don't think this this
this game is done being bad. Like there's definitely gonna
be a lot of money coming in. You know, this
is just at the at the current time. That's what
we're looking at. That's what we're looking at. So you know,
that's why I kind of moved, you know, you know,
whether it was one big bet we took. I don't
know the exact details of how we got to this
(24:20):
place and handle, but that's kind of you know, that's
kind of where we're at with the ninety percent. But
like you said, this could easily change by game.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Time, always interesting to see what's going on there. How
about the Washington Huskies Purdue Washington coming off a horrific
loss as a double digit road favorite to Wisconsin last weekend.
They're back at home and Jedfish needs a major, major
make good on what happened last Saturday in Madison.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah, definitely a get right game for Washington here, I
would assume. So we opened at minus fifteen, total fifty
three and a half. We are currently at Washington minus
sixteen and a half and the total being fifty one.
So you know, about ninety percent of this handle is
(25:13):
on Washington right now, and sixty percent of the bets
are also on Washington. So we're seeing both public and
sharp money on Washington at this time, you know, which
you can tell by that one and a half point
line move and then heavy volume in terms of the
handle as well. On the under that's over ninety percent
of the handle, and you know, bet tickets we're right
(25:38):
around fifty a little over fifty percent of the over.
So that being said, the book will most likely need
we'll both, we'll most likely need Purdue and the under
going into this game.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Interesting, all right, and how much what is the line
up to right now sixteen and a half. WHOA, wow,
that has gone up a little bit. Where did it
start at?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Fifteen?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Fifteen? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
All right, well that's that's still still a big I
think Jed Fish needs to stop a mudhole after what
happened last weekend man, he is probably the worst loss,
not only his worst loss here at you dub, but
his worst loss of his entire professional career. I mean,
you can't will bo if I said to you last week, Hey,
the Huskies are gonna go on the road. They're playing
(26:26):
a two and six Wisconsin team that I mean, I
don't even know if they can beat a lot of
great high school teams. And they don't have nearly the
amount of talent that the Huskies do. And if I
gave you the box score, I said their quarterbacks are
combined for twenty four passing yards and the punter's gonna
throw for twenty four passing yards, you would have said,
what did the Huskies win by thirty or forty?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I mean, come on, what else before we let you go?
What else?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
In terms of betting action, is the most bet game
for Circo this week for the NFL is it Eagles, Lions,
is it Broncos, Chiefs, is it Bucks, Bills, or as
we mentioned, Seahawks and Rams.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah, you know what, all those games are gonna get
a lot of action. I like the Seahawks and Rams game,
but this Lions Eagles game, especially at being Sunday night,
standalone game, I would expect that might be the number
one game in terms of, you know, the amount of
handle that we're going to get, you know with this,
you know NFC clash, you know, two of these top
(27:36):
teams very similar to Seattle and the Rams. But you
know that game right now. It's kind of funny looking
at the Lions. You know, the the line opened up
Eagles minus one and a half and the total is
forty nine and a half. Our current line is Eagles
minus three and the under at forty six and a half.
(27:59):
So good on a movement on that line, you know.
And it's a little weird because sixty six percent of
the bets are on Detroit and a little over fifty
percent of the handle is also on Detroit. But the
line has moved a full point and a half since
we opened, So it'll be interesting to see how this
plays out and who we need comes Sunday night. Like
(28:20):
as you said, I expect this game to potentially be
the most bet game of the day. So it's gonna
be interesting on that Sunday night game.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
No question.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Chris Wilbur dang Ak Wilbow from the Circle, Las Vegas.
We appreciate you giving us some insights, especially on the
local teams here and where the publics and who knows
where the sharps are lying for both the Seahawks, Rams
and Huskies game tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Thanks a lot. Well, well, we'll talk to you next week, man.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
All right, see you next week.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
All right, we will Ron de RAUSI she laid the
SmackDown least verbally on somebody that I don't know if
you want to pick a fight with considering who this
guy is. Yeah, and now she's gonna know. Now here
comes the retort, Ronda. We'll get to that next thing
to all fields and the guy who ranked the Seahawks
(29:08):
number one in power rankings in the NFL will join
us coming up at eleven Eric at home right here
on MJ in the midday.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Is there a price point that would get you back
in the oxcard? I mean I have everything I want.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
There's nothing that would have really changed my life.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Just let's do price points on this.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Okay, billion dollars one hundred and fifty million, billion.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Dollars, three hundred and fifty million dollars billion. You're just
fighting Bert Chresiler.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
All right, I will beat in your backyard for this house.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
How long do I get I was just talking to
Joe on the walk over. How long for me to
train to beat Ronda? I'll never have it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
He's not an expert.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
He's a fan with an audience.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, it's interesting, is that you feel post never fought?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
He fought.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
He fought taekwondo, Right, never fought.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's not fighting, it's not fighting. Well, I'm gonna actually
this conversation.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I don't want you to get any bad dms. We
need to get out.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Ron ROUSSI laying a SmackDown on Joe Rogan. So Joe Rogan,
of course, number one podcasts in the world. I think
he pretty much invented podcasts. Had to say she's a legend.
I mean, I got nothing but love and respect for
that lady. What she did was so impressive. She was
the first legitimate female superstar. She made the UFC Female
(30:48):
Division possible if it wasn't for her. Dana was very
open about never having female UFC fighters. It took someone
that was that dynamic, that was that special, to open
his eyes and go, you know, I think this lady
is a star, and to be the type like when
she said, like, I wasn't an expert, and everyone's entitled
to their opinion, you know, but you got to understand
(31:09):
why she thinks like that.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
She has a champion mentality. You never fought, you studdied
the sport doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
You ain't.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I get it, all right, So Joe Rogan took it
and he became the bigger person.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Only listen, he gets to where she's coming from, and
he's right, Rona Rowsie, Man, she was bad. I mean,
she was the baddest woman on the planet until she wasn't.
Holly Holm knocked her out one time and then uh
but she was what everything he just said is absolute,
one hundred percent true. Dana White didn't want anything to
do with women fighting in the octagon, and she became
one of the biggest stars in UFC history. If you
(31:44):
did a UFC Mount Rushmore right now, John Bones Shones
Connor McGregor, Ronda Rowsei's there. You put her third, you
put her fourth, you could put her second.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
She's there.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
She's on that Mount Rushmore when you think of UFC fighters,
no question about it. So I like the fact that
Joe's like, hey, champion mentality, and look what she did
for the sport.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
She grew the sport. UFC right now ain't where it
used to be.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
You know why, Because they don't have Rond Rousey, Because
they don't have Connor McGregor, John Bones Jones just retired.
They don't have much, all right. Why are the Seattle
Seahawks ranked the best team in the NFL and the
power rankings on nfl dot com. The man who wrote this,
Eric Edholme, will join us your fantasy football questions coming
up at noon
Eleven and then Ian Ritchie coming up at noon. All
your fantasy football picks, will take your texts, will take
your calls, you name it, all that, And obviously, hey listen,
cannot wait for Sunday one oh five in just over
what do we got here? Fifty one hours? Come on
(00:23):
out to Buckle Shoot Casino Resort, Galaxy join me. I'll
be out there for the Seahawks Rams game, the Seattle
away game, Rumble watch party. We'll have kjr T shirts
to give away. Their Corona and Modello girls will be there.
It'll be good time, a great time. We had a
(00:44):
packed house for the Commanders game, which was on a
Sunday night a couple weeks ago, but this one will
be an earlier start. So I want everybody to come
on out. Each and every one of you are invited.
Even the people that you know hate me, You are invited.
You might end up leaving their liking me even or not.
So come on out to Galaxy at Muckleshoe Casino Resort
(01:05):
on Sunday. Can't wait for the big game. And obviously
we'll be talking at nauseum about this game. But I
got to start with something first. So I was born
and raised in case some of you joining this show
for the first time since I've been here on Monday,
February tenth, so just over nine months flown by. And
(01:29):
I was born and raised in the Northeast. I hate
the Red Sox. I hate the Yankees. I hate them both,
you know, just so much. It's it disgusts me. I
grow up an hour from Fenway Park, and I worked
basically for the Red Sox when I used to be
an anchor at their network known as Nessen New England
(01:51):
Sports Network, which is also the network for the Boston Bruins.
So and I probably hate the Red Sox more than
in the Yankees because I kind of worked for the
Red Sox and John Henry, who's also the owner of
the Boston Globe and the Pittsburgh Penguins and Liverpool so
he's he's got some money, he's he's a multi billionaire.
(02:13):
He's very eccentric, he's very weird. But I will say this,
He'll put his team in the utmost position to succeed,
neither here nor there. I wanted to come in here
today and say what probably you know, and I have
people you know texting me, are dming me on Twitter.
(02:37):
We have a poll out there and we'll get to
that in a second. You can go to my Twitter
handle Mark James, m A R C James. We'll get
to that in a second. Cal Rowley was robbed of
the MVP last night. He was, but not for the
reasons you think, not for the and you know, some
(02:58):
people are emailing me that people who work in the
media on you know, in TV or radio or going.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The East Coast boys.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, no, no, no, he got robbed because of dumbass bias.
He got robbed because it's just the same old prototypical
baseball writer bias. It wasn't East Coast it wasn't. And
(03:31):
I wanted to come in here and I wanted to say,
and I want to come here and be like, you know,
that's the reason why the And then a fact kind
of presented itself from the guy who's been a sports
writer here for nearly thirty years, the great Larry Stone.
(03:51):
And Larry Stone just presented the fact. Voters from the
Pacific time zone voted for Raleigh five to one. Voters
from the Eastern time zone split seven each. Voters from
the Central time zone with nine to one for Judge.
(04:12):
It wasn't the East Coast bias that did him in.
It was the Midwest in Texas. Those are facts. Now,
you can come on here and if you work on
another station whenever you want to do the cheap, lazy,
predictable take schools boys. Yeah, no, No, it was dumbass bias.
(04:35):
It was dumbass That's what it was. It was because
how can you sit here and say, it's East Coast bias?
Who won the MVP last night for the National League?
Who won it last year for the National League? Two words?
Show Hao Tani? Where does Sho Hao Tani play baseball?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The Dodge Arts?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What did Show Hao Tani win his first MVP awards?
The Angels? Where do they play in la Anaheim? The
West Coast? So you can't have it both ways. You
can't ser schools boys and then look.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
At the other side. You can't do that. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
With that being said, cal Rawley is like, and I'm
gonna I'm gonna go through everything here, but I just
gotta set a lot of people straight. And it's a cheap,
week lazy take to say East Coast bias. And I
don't care who says anybody says he it's cheap week
and lazy.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
How many MVPs the New York Mets have won and
their entire history, Christopher Kidd, just off the top of
your head, how many MVPs do you think Mets players
have won in their entire history?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Just guess how much do you think they won?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You knew I was going to ask you that. You
knew I was gonna ask you that. But that's the answer.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
That is the correct answer, that no, they don't have nobody.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, listen, hey that Tom sever real good, Mike Piazza,
Tom Seaver, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Pete Alonzo, Juan Soto.
The New York Mets since nineteen sixty two have never
won an MVP. So don't you think if there was
an East Coast bias the Mets.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
In how many years have they been around? I mean,
do the math when.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They won one MVP one Darryl Strawberry got ripped off
in nineteen eighty eight to Kirk Gibson, who had nobody.
This was this is not the postseason with the home
run versus Dennis Eckersley in the Oakland A's. This was
(06:58):
the regular season. The Mets have been around for sixty
three years. They have no MVPs. Is that a where's
the East coast bias?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
There?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
No, it was the dumbass bias, That's what it was,
plain and simple, And the dumbasses were in the Midwest
and Texas, not the East coast. Cal got love on
the East Coast, unlike death Row records at the nineteen
ninety five Source Awards. He got love, he got I
(07:29):
mean he split, so that was a dead heat. He
won the West coast. It was the Midwest in Texas
That's what did him. Then it was just dumbass bias. Now,
with that being said, let's look at just the unbelievable
season of Cal freaking Raleigh and let's appreciate it right now.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Set record.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Most home runs by a catcher, most home runs by
a switch hitter, most home runs in Mariners franchise history
in a singular season, seventh player to reach sixty plus
home runs, and tied the record for the most multi
home run games with eleven. The Mets have zero MVPs.
(08:17):
The Mariners have two. And by the way, I was
surprised there.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Was only two.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I thought Ken Griffy Junior won three when he was
here in Seattle, and he should have now, you know,
and he lost one one year a Juan Gonzalez in
Pudge Rodriguez, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So like that shocked me the most.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The Mariners have more MVP winners and they've been around
fifteen less years than the New York Mets. Where's the
East Coast by is there? I'm doing the Hull Cogan
to my ear right now. Huh, I don't hear you.
Where's the East Coast Bys there? So if you want
(08:57):
to come out with a cheap, lazy, take East cost
host bias, it's weak, it's predictable, and it's completely totally
effing lazy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It is, plain and simple and like coming on sports
talk radio and saying.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh, who's better, Jordan or Lebra? That's what it is.
It's lazy. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
To quote the second pick in the two thousand and
seven NBA Draft from the Seattle SuperSonics, Kevin Durant, when
he won the MVP. At his ceremony, he said to
his mom, you the real MVP. Cal Raley is the
real MVP. He should have won it, but he didn't
(09:48):
lose it because of an East coast bias. So I
want that because if he lost it because of an
East coast bias, how comes show. Haes won four unanimous
MVP of in the last five years, and he even
switched leagues in between winning his second MVP to his
third MVP.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Buehler Buehler, Anyone, Anyone? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So those are the facts, and I'm and I thank
Larry Stone for putting that out there, for putting that
out there about the votes, So don't come at it
with East coast bias. He won it because of dumbass,
stupid bias, Yes, and he is the real MVP and
he should have won it. That I will say eight
days a week and ten times on Sunday. Just don't
(10:36):
use that. Just don't use that because it's weak and
it's predictable, and I you know, it's just stupid. It's
just it's plain stupid. Who won the MVP last year
in the NBA? Who Jalen Brunson, No? Oh, where does
he play New York City?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
How about Donovan Mitchell? No where does he play Cleveland?
No shake Gildas Alexander on the Oklahoma City Thunder. So
you can't go there. You just don't do that. It
just stop it. Okay, Now we have a pull up
there on Twitter and I put it out there. Do
you believe now this is a different thing? And wow,
(11:20):
We've already gotten one hundred and five votes since I've
come on the air. Holy guacamole, Batman. Do you believe
that cal Rawley would have won the MVP if he
was on the Yankees? Now that I don't know, We'll
never know. Dan Patrick, one of the best sports saw
(11:41):
Coasts and Broadcasting Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Here's what he got to say about the MVP.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I said, I would be fine if Aaron Judge won
the MVP. He put up great numbers. His numbers a
lot better than cal Rowley except for the home runs.
Here's the question I would ask when Yankee fans get
sensitive about this. If Aaron Judge was on Seattle and
cal Raley was on the Yankees, who wins MVP. And
(12:07):
that's a rhetorical question, because we know that cal Raley
as catcher of the Yankees, and he is a goal
glove catcher.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
He is going to be your MVP.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
They would talk about, oh my gosh, he's the next
Thurman Munson.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We know this.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
This played a role now Aaron Aaron Judge can be
a liability in the field. He's not a good outfielder.
He's a great hitter. He's going to be a Hall
of Famer. Cal Rawley plays the most important position in baseball.
He's out there every single day. Look at that pitching staff.
He helped develop a very good young pitching staff. They
(12:47):
made the playoffs. I got a factor in all of
those things. But I think the hammer is if cal
Rawley was the catcher for the Yankees, hitting sixty home runs,
win the division, developing a young pitching staff, being a
Gold Glove catcher, he wins the MVP. Aaron Judge is great,
(13:11):
the numbers are phenomenal. Batting average was you know, probably
fifty points higher. I understand all of those things. The
hardest position, most important position. You got a Gold Glove
catcher and sixty home runs. Okay, you know how many
games he missed three? I don't know if he gets
another chance. That's not why I would say, you know,
(13:33):
he deserved the MVP. I would just say we forget.
When you're a catcher, I mean it's you never get
a day off when you catch. I can put Aaron
Judge in the outfield, and he might get four balls
hit his way. We've seen him, you know, in the playoffs,
be a lot liability out there. But it's not really
about he's not a great fielder. It's that cal Rawly
(13:56):
is a really good catcher and he hit sixty home runs.
And I don't want this to be that I'm anti
Judge as much as I just think you got a
factor in where cal Rawley was doing this in Seattle
and the importance of doing it in a big market.
Now Otani could play anywhere and still.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Win the MVP.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
But I mean he did it with the Angels, but
I think cal Rawley, to me, location is what prevented
him from winning the MVP.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Okay, I respectfully and vehemently disagree. I don't think market
size has anything to do with it anymore. Aaron Rodgers
won four MVPs for the Green Bay Packers's smallest market
in professional sports, Green Bay, Wisconsin. I don't think it
has anything to do with anymore. I think there was
certainly the uh Texas voters in the media they wanted
(14:54):
to punish because the Astros didn't make it. I think
you there's a case there. I believe there's a case there.
But seven to seven in the East Coast you split,
so it was a non factor nine to one in
the Central time zone. So the idiots in the Central
time zone Midwestern Texas, shame on you. You should all
have your votes revoked because cal Raleigh, to quote Kevin Durant,
(15:18):
you to reel MVP period exclamation point. Just stop with
a cheap, lazy take East Coast bias. You can't do
that anymore. Back in the day, fine, there's MLB package
and all that stuff. Now every game can be seen,
there's MLB Network. There wasn't when Ken Griffey Junior won
(15:40):
the MVP or each Row won the MVP in two
thousand and one. Everything is available now. You have social media.
The highlights come on your phone if you want alerts.
Now you can't say that anymore. You just can't do it.
MVPs come in small markets Oklahoma City, Green Bay, so
I'm not going to go there that I'm not gonna go.
(16:01):
But there's certainly whether it was some vendetta because they
don't like cal Raley and they wanted to stick it
to them. Because the Mariners took the division. The Astros
missed the playoffs. I'll go with that. I'm with you
on that one, But just don't go with the East
Coast Bies who won the cy Young Trek Scougle plays
in Detroit. Who do he win it over? Garrett Crochet?
(16:24):
Where does he play Boston Red Sox? Was there an
East Coast Bies?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
There?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
No Paul Skeens Pittsburgh, look at that market?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No, so Dan, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I think you're the best interviewer in the history of
sports broadcasting, television and radio. I'm not gonna go there.
I'm not gonna go there. But the votes are out there.
You can go to the Twitter handle KGr as Well.
Y'all are voting, and you are voting big time right now. Uh,
eighty nine percent say yes already. Eighty nine percent said
if cal Raley was on the Yankees, he would have
(16:58):
won the MVP.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's a whole different story.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But I just believe you have some jealous Texas and
Midwest idiots who cost cal.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Raley the MVP.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And here's the thing that sucks about it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Just like blowing Game seven with eight outs to go
in Toronto, I don't know if cal will ever have
another season like that again. I don't know if and
catcher in the history of baseball will ever have another
season like that again. But Cal Raley, from now on,
I will call you real MVP. I think everybody here
in Seattle and PNW you can agree upon that. You
(17:35):
to reel MVP. As Kevin Durant would say, period exclamation point.
Who knew that a freaking football Friday, brought to you
by Tito's handmade vodka. I would be going all in
on baseball on Friday, November fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You know, it's just it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Okay, it's it sucks, but you know what, Col's probably disappointed,
but I bet you I would guarantee Col's more pissed
off would blow in a three to one lead with
eight outs to go in Game seven in the ALCS
in Toronto than he is. He would have given Judge
the next three MVPs if he could have won that game.
(18:19):
And that's the type of player, an individual he is.
He's about team.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Cal is about team. There's no eye in team, and
there's no eye in Cal. He's all about team. And
he is the real MVP. It is what it is.
It's a biased award, just like so many things are subjective.
All right, got that off, No, thank you on the
text line, I appreciate it. Calm down, we don't want
you to have a stroke. I appreciate that. My grandfather
(18:48):
God rest his soul up in heaven now. He just
died two months ago. He used to see, you're gonna
have a heart attack. You gotta be careful, you're gonna
go well, hey, I'll tell you right now, there's not
many better ways to go out than being live on
the air doing something I love. Christopher Kid, Imagine if
I had a heart attack on the air, like dude,
I'd be dying doing something I loved. How many people
(19:10):
can say that. There'd be one other There'd be one
other way to go out which would be better than this.
It would evolve a certain female named Susie Cortez. But
that's a whole nother story. But hey, if I have
a stroke or have a heart attack on the air,
be great for ratings, right, I'm all about ratings, man,
So let's go LFG all right, So, but I appreciate you, No,
(19:32):
I just get I get fired up when everybody goes
with the consensus populace take and in this case had
nothing to do with it. And I gotta admit, if
I didn't read Larry Stone's tweet about how the voting
went down, I might have come on here and probably
would have gone with the East Coast bias.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But not once that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Was illustrated, Larry gave the fact an ideal in facts
and that's it. Facts don't give an about your opinion.
They just state the truth period and cal Raly is
the real MDP period. All right, Wilbow from circa Seahawks Rams,
the line has come down, Where's the action?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Where's the handle?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Totals so much to get to and factor fiction eleven
thirty five and why are the Seahawks the number one
team in the NFL Power rankings? The guy who did
that will tell us at eleven Eric at home right
here on MJ in the midday.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
We talked to him each and.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Every Friday, Chris Wilberdang aka Wilbo, as he's affectionately called,
the director of operations at the Circle Las Vegas. So
Wilbow tell us this the where did the line open
up for Seahawks Rams? And what kind of movement have
we seen since it opened up when it came out.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah, no, thanks for having me, Mark. So, Seahawks Rams
obviously going to be, you know, the marquee matchup of
this weekend with two of the top teams in the
NFC playing against each other, you know, divisional rivals. Looking
at this, we opened at minus two and a half
to the rams. The total was forty eight and a half.
(21:17):
We are currently at minus three, still on the rams, obviously,
and then that went up in the total a half
point to forty nine. So not much movement when it
comes to the line and the total, you know, but
you know, when it comes to the amount of bets play, yes,
that's about even. It's about fifty to fifty. However, there
(21:42):
is a large amount of the money on the rams
this week when it comes to the side.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Interesting, So rams minus three, can you give a percentage
or just it's just more?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Can you see you're.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Looking you're looking at around ninety percent of our handle
at the moment is on the rams for this game.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Ninety percent is on the rams.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, yeah, that I mean, obviously this is a massive game.
It's later in the day, so this can obviously change.
But you know, looking at it, two days out. You know,
that's kind of where we're at when it comes to
the handles, the versus the bets.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wow, not I thought you were gonna say, sixty five
to seventy ninety percent, that is insane.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
We definitely got some sharp money coming in on the rams.
So that's happening as of now. You know, it's it
is kind of crazy because, yeah, Mike McDonald, who was
eleven to one on the road, you know, so that's
surprising to me as well.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, that definitely surprising. And you guys were the
ones told me your boss, Derek Stevens came out and
said that back in August that there was a huge
syndicate that came in and said they put a lot
of money on the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Ball.
And right now they're looking quite prescient and omnission if
I do say so myself, Wilbo.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So that's I'm shocked.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
My jaw is practically on the ground ninety percent on
the rams that they.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Watched the Seahawks team play. Like all right, But you
know what though, Wilbo, when the public goes all the
way one way, you know, now here's the thing I don't.
I'm not on Sunday, and we're not gonna talk to
you on Sunday or day if I text you. But
let's wait and see where the sharp money comes in
(23:33):
at the end and the steam comes in at the end.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That's the thing to always keep back.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We've got Wilbo fifty hours and twenty two twenty six
minutes until kickoff, so a lot, right, somebody could come in,
Billy Walters, I mean, listen to some sharps could come
in and place a big bet and and kind of
you know, ninety percent in a game, that's wow, you.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Said it, Mark, I don't. I don't think this this
this game is done being bad. Like there's definitely gonna
be a lot of money coming in. You know, this
is just at the at the current time. That's what
we're looking at. That's what we're looking at. So you know,
that's why I kind of moved, you know, you know,
whether it was one big bet we took. I don't
know the exact details of how we got to this
(24:20):
place and handle, but that's kind of you know, that's
kind of where we're at with the ninety percent. But
like you said, this could easily change by game.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Time, always interesting to see what's going on there. How
about the Washington Huskies Purdue Washington coming off a horrific
loss as a double digit road favorite to Wisconsin last weekend.
They're back at home and Jedfish needs a major, major
make good on what happened last Saturday in Madison.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah, definitely a get right game for Washington here, I
would assume. So we opened at minus fifteen, total fifty
three and a half. We are currently at Washington minus
sixteen and a half and the total being fifty one.
So you know, about ninety percent of this handle is
(25:13):
on Washington right now, and sixty percent of the bets
are also on Washington. So we're seeing both public and
sharp money on Washington at this time, you know, which
you can tell by that one and a half point
line move and then heavy volume in terms of the
handle as well. On the under that's over ninety percent
of the handle, and you know, bet tickets we're right
(25:38):
around fifty a little over fifty percent of the over.
So that being said, the book will most likely need
we'll both, we'll most likely need Purdue and the under
going into this game.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Interesting, all right, and how much what is the line
up to right now sixteen and a half. WHOA, wow,
that has gone up a little bit. Where did it
start at?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Fifteen?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Fifteen? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
All right, well that's that's still still a big I
think Jed Fish needs to stop a mudhole after what
happened last weekend man, he is probably the worst loss,
not only his worst loss here at you dub, but
his worst loss of his entire professional career. I mean,
you can't will bo if I said to you last week, Hey,
the Huskies are gonna go on the road. They're playing
(26:26):
a two and six Wisconsin team that I mean, I
don't even know if they can beat a lot of
great high school teams. And they don't have nearly the
amount of talent that the Huskies do. And if I
gave you the box score, I said their quarterbacks are
combined for twenty four passing yards and the punter's gonna
throw for twenty four passing yards, you would have said,
what did the Huskies win by thirty or forty?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I mean, come on, what else before we let you go?
What else?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
In terms of betting action, is the most bet game
for Circo this week for the NFL is it Eagles, Lions,
is it Broncos, Chiefs, is it Bucks, Bills, or as
we mentioned, Seahawks and Rams.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah, you know what, all those games are gonna get
a lot of action. I like the Seahawks and Rams game,
but this Lions Eagles game, especially at being Sunday night,
standalone game, I would expect that might be the number
one game in terms of, you know, the amount of
handle that we're going to get, you know with this,
you know NFC clash, you know, two of these top
(27:36):
teams very similar to Seattle and the Rams. But you
know that game right now. It's kind of funny looking
at the Lions. You know, the the line opened up
Eagles minus one and a half and the total is
forty nine and a half. Our current line is Eagles
minus three and the under at forty six and a half.
(27:59):
So good on a movement on that line, you know.
And it's a little weird because sixty six percent of
the bets are on Detroit and a little over fifty
percent of the handle is also on Detroit. But the
line has moved a full point and a half since
we opened, So it'll be interesting to see how this
plays out and who we need comes Sunday night. Like
(28:20):
as you said, I expect this game to potentially be
the most bet game of the day. So it's gonna
be interesting on that Sunday night game.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
No question.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Chris Wilbur dang Ak Wilbow from the Circle, Las Vegas.
We appreciate you giving us some insights, especially on the
local teams here and where the publics and who knows
where the sharps are lying for both the Seahawks, Rams
and Huskies game tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Thanks a lot. Well, well, we'll talk to you next week, man.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
All right, see you next week.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
All right, we will Ron de RAUSI she laid the
SmackDown least verbally on somebody that I don't know if
you want to pick a fight with considering who this
guy is. Yeah, and now she's gonna know. Now here
comes the retort, Ronda. We'll get to that next thing
to all fields and the guy who ranked the Seahawks
(29:08):
number one in power rankings in the NFL will join
us coming up at eleven Eric at home right here
on MJ in the midday.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Is there a price point that would get you back
in the oxcard? I mean I have everything I want.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
There's nothing that would have really changed my life.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Just let's do price points on this.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Okay, billion dollars one hundred and fifty million, billion.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Dollars, three hundred and fifty million dollars billion. You're just
fighting Bert Chresiler.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
All right, I will beat in your backyard for this house.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
How long do I get I was just talking to
Joe on the walk over. How long for me to
train to beat Ronda? I'll never have it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
He's not an expert.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
He's a fan with an audience.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, it's interesting, is that you feel post never fought?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
He fought.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
He fought taekwondo, Right, never fought.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's not fighting, it's not fighting. Well, I'm gonna actually
this conversation.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I don't want you to get any bad dms. We
need to get out.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Ron ROUSSI laying a SmackDown on Joe Rogan. So Joe Rogan,
of course, number one podcasts in the world. I think
he pretty much invented podcasts. Had to say she's a legend.
I mean, I got nothing but love and respect for
that lady. What she did was so impressive. She was
the first legitimate female superstar. She made the UFC Female
(30:48):
Division possible if it wasn't for her. Dana was very
open about never having female UFC fighters. It took someone
that was that dynamic, that was that special, to open
his eyes and go, you know, I think this lady
is a star, and to be the type like when
she said, like, I wasn't an expert, and everyone's entitled
to their opinion, you know, but you got to understand
(31:09):
why she thinks like that.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
She has a champion mentality. You never fought, you studdied
the sport doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
You ain't.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I get it, all right, So Joe Rogan took it
and he became the bigger person.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Only listen, he gets to where she's coming from, and
he's right, Rona Rowsie, Man, she was bad. I mean,
she was the baddest woman on the planet until she wasn't.
Holly Holm knocked her out one time and then uh
but she was what everything he just said is absolute,
one hundred percent true. Dana White didn't want anything to
do with women fighting in the octagon, and she became
one of the biggest stars in UFC history. If you
(31:44):
did a UFC Mount Rushmore right now, John Bones Shones
Connor McGregor, Ronda Rowsei's there. You put her third, you
put her fourth, you could put her second.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
She's there.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
She's on that Mount Rushmore when you think of UFC fighters,
no question about it. So I like the fact that
Joe's like, hey, champion mentality, and look what she did
for the sport.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
She grew the sport. UFC right now ain't where it
used to be.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
You know why, Because they don't have Rond Rousey, Because
they don't have Connor McGregor, John Bones Jones just retired.
They don't have much, all right. Why are the Seattle
Seahawks ranked the best team in the NFL and the
power rankings on nfl dot com. The man who wrote this,
Eric Edholme, will join us your fantasy football questions coming
up at noon

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
