And here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I live Fox Sports The Gambler one of two, Trenton
check us out on the our Heart app uh and
we're here for the first show in like, dude, three weeks. Yeah,
it's that Fourth of July holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Really not on Q one O two no, no, almost
went live there, jeez, which I think would have done
well for our ratings.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I gotta be honest with it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, I also I feel bad because it's like, uh,
you ever see what is it the movie with Don't
Go Chasing Waterfalls? Whis too many jobs? The other guys,
the other guys, Yeah, like that Death and Beyond. It's like, yeah,
don't you know you gotta creep? Yeah, creep. Speaking of
being a creep, I want to apologize, well, I guess
not being a creep more of a jerk. It was
(01:43):
your birthday last weekend and Jerm does this awesome post
to Bert and is a fancy thing and wish yeah
happy birthday. And I feel like two things. And I'm
not making an excuse for myself because you're my best friend,
I should overly celebrate your birthday, but my ads birthdays
around this time, so I try to forget.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
To just make it through this. I don't need the
attention that Burt needs, I know, and you don't need to.
You don't need to compensate the way the Germ compensates
its GQ magazine. Jesus Christ, Jimmy Bond, James, Burt Bond, Bond,
h it's a happy birthday, man, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You know you texted me. This is why I think
it hit me a little hard, because it just shows
how great a friend you are and how genuine you are.
You knew I was golf and I had a bad
round at the swinging and digging open. My head was
at again doing too many jobs at once. So you're like, dude,
just enjoyed the day. So you woke up first thing
(02:46):
on your birthday, uh, you know, and you texted me
to make sure I had fun in my round.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Well, so funny you say that, because I was I
was a little I was a little jealous. I was like, man,
he gets and you were playing gamblers, which I love playing,
and you were playing with Timmy all and I really
want to play with Timmy just to see what kind
of a golfer is I've heard from you. I'm good
he's he had a couple of really good shots.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I see it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, and I know what.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I love Timmy, but I have to see the golfer.
And I've never seen golfer tim I've seen like you know,
I've done. We've done five k's with Timmy. We've done
like these mud runs, We've done like these random sporting
event type deals with I've never golf with this dude, yeh.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Normally, like I tell him, like, oh, you're being too
hard on yourself. Don't be too hard on a golf course.
I let him do it because he overperforms like he's performed.
I was like, I don't think you realize how good
you Just a year from now, we should be in
the PGAs or pretty in.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Golf.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Jarred one from like sixty three yards out. It was nuts, man.
I just I couldn't believe it. You know, his putting
game was strong, his drives coming around. You know, he's
going through the same struggles trying to figure out his bag,
the right mix in it. You know, I just bought
a new driver, so that's why I really want to
get it out. And I was like, sure, let's do it.
And you know, golf now allows you to invite your friends,
(04:06):
which I think is really cool, but we have to
be friends.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I finally accepted. I was like, man, we're not friends.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So uh.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
What's funny though, is it was my birthday and I
was excited because it was it was a nice day.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It was like nice outside. I'm like, damn man. And
it was a little bit of a later it was
like what ten am start or something like that. A
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, that that kind of bit us in the you
know what, it was hot, dude.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I mentioned it to my wife four times. I'm like, yeah,
I know he's be's.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Golfing gamblers, just thinking she might be like, oh, what's
your birthday? Why don't you see if you get out?
You know, she didn't even hint at it. I'm like,
I guess she want at a family day, which was fine.
We had a really good day as a family.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I was like, I wonder if you Yeah, when
you sent the text, I thought because our twosome that
we're golfing with did not show up yet, so I
thought you did take my.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Advice so hard about it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, I was just waiting for a little bit of
a green light, and I was just gonna show I
wasn't act. That's how I would have done it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I wouldn't have just told you. I would have just
showed up.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, it would have been like the epic text to
like walk up behind me while I was reading it.
So but yeah, shout outs to Burt.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I just walked behind you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You're gonna suck today. It's all over pal uh. But
also like the and I don't know why it bothers
me so much, but people who just blatantly like lie
about their scores on a golf course, like.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Those guys are hilarious, are like what?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But we had one in our group and it was
Outlanders like he he was taking like four off the
t like yo, and he wouldn't let other people do
it like he would. He would get in his car
and drive off like and he it's funny because I said,
and this is messed up. I'm gonna say it anyway.
I was like, yo, he reminds me of all the
(05:48):
bad parts about Burt. Like this, this guy like old guy,
young guy young. He had mannerisms like Bert, but it
was like if Bert was not genuine and not a
good person, and like anytime he's been like in a
bad mood, this guy was always that guy and in
a d weep too. Bert's not a dweep, so I
(06:10):
guess he's nothing like Burt. But for some reason it
reminded me of Bert, Like maybe the way we joke
about the image of Burt you play.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You played with another two singles.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Two singles. They didn't know each other. The other guy
was an older guy, very nice, brought us around at
the end, which was nice, a great guy. But even
like dude, he does this weird thing where like when
he's putting, he like takes both legs and straddles the
ball and then thrust his hips to like get an
(06:42):
idea of where the ball should go. So I'm like,
is this dude like using his groin right now to
detect like where the ball? It was weird. So he
squares up on the ball and then does his putt,
and his putts were way off so it doesn't work.
But yeah, he'd be like, man, just miss par just
miss parr. I was like, I just watched you shoot
four like three into I was like, Bro, you're like
(07:04):
laying seven to o.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
B get at it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Like so I was like, who you're fooling. He's like,
got another par, got another par? I was like. And
I was like, oh, Tim, is it just me? Like
you know, and like there are people that are like
put me down for six and they shot like nine
or ten and uh, you know, and I always could
I always say that's funny. But this guy like just
blatantly like, Bro, you made more than you took more
(07:29):
than four shots. And before you left the team.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Bro, we talk about this all the time, like if
you if you were good at this game, you wouldn't
be playing gamblers, right, I mean it's it's a great course,
but like the the average I would even say, I
can't even say the average pro if you're a scratch golfer,
like you're only using your driver maybe three or four
times on that course, you know what I mean, because
(07:52):
they're par fours are are crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So I'm almost at a point where like I can't
use my driver for the straight Yeah, the back nine,
it's like, uh.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
There's two par fives I think on the back of
that course, and then everything else is like a little
bit of a shorter part four and a couple of
part so it's it's like, if you're gonna keep score,
do it the right way. We're just don't keep it
at all. Like who cares you say? Oh, man, I
hit a couple of good ones. I can't stand that is.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
The time he told me I was in the water, dude.
I was like, I don't think I'm in the water.
He's like, brow you in the water. And it was
that short par four or no part, the big par
three with the water to the left, so like yeah,
and like you're like can I and you have to
maybe it is a par four yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Gotta be it. Only the only part three with water
is that short one that Yeah, No, no, it's actually
there's two. There's one, it's the other.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Like but yeah, dude, the rounds they were telling us
that are getting so out of hand, like six hour
rounds on Sundays there that they had to raise the price.
That's how rid.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's outrageous. Yeah, what is the marshall do? Like they're
not speeding this.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They were being crazy like I heard them on the
radio and stuff, and this was just like it was
a log.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Dam.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
They're like, there's nothing you could do, and the people
behind us are frustrated. They think it's us because like
every time they showed up, the other people just got
out of the way, and it's like, dude, I swear
they were just there like you know. So yeah, so
it looked like it looked like it was us.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
But well that's what happened. Like we did swing it.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I mean obviously it was a scramble. A lot of
holes were doubled up at the Legacy Great Course, but
we were just twesome, yeah, which is cool because we're
just kind of riding around. But the guys in front
of us were cool. We got to stop and talk
to them, but it never seemed like they were waiting
on anyoney. It almost seemed like they were just taking
their tats exactly, just kind of like.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Are there they are they waiting for these guys?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Are they just like because even not even off the
tea box, like even when they would eventually get together
and find the ball, they're like just kind of But
with Legacy, it's like there's at least three holes where
off the te box you're hitting blind.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You don't know, Like the first hole we played was
whole six.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yes, six, were accidentally hit into them because we're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, Yeah, you're a great drive
of the day.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I'm like, their first drive never goes like that, and
like we're literally driving up like oh my balls up,
they're just leaving where.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm like, oh sorry guys.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But they were like, nice drive, bro, And it was
a great drive. So yeah, it was like, you know,
when you're golfing on that those are two different I
don't even want to call them the same kind of sport, right,
Legacies a beautiful palace and then you know the gamblers,
your ball is in the rough at gambler.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It's like, oh, a rough patch of the fair way.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I lost the ball in the rough legacy. I know
exactly where it went. I look for it. It wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, it was unreal, like that's the ball just died
if you hit it, like you were being penalized for
being in the rough. It literally was rough.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
It was good though.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Also I felt like because it was announting that they
didn't I wanted to ask Jeff this, Like I feel
like they purpose they didn't know all weekend or something
because like Mondays normally are closed. It it was a Monday, right,
it wasn't Monday. Yeah, So I bet you like they
didn't know that day or something. Probably they probably don't.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
You honestly, why no sense in making it perfect for
a bunch of idiots like ourselves that are going to go.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But even that, like to win the hole, to win
a car like that pin was all the way in the.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Back, you mean the one hundred and seventy five yards
with a slope of like sixty yards.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And yeah, I hit it well like the woman was
like nice right on the lip, but it just died, right, Yeah,
it just jo no kicker, nothing, but uh, yeah, it
was a fun round for good people. I also did
something else I did not get to partake in golf.
Next year we will, I promise I will find us
a rich person that can afford it. But it to
(11:47):
afford us to play Hamilton Farm, it is unbelievable. And
it was for the children's specialized hospital through play Yellow,
which is amazing through the Miracle network, you know. So
it was a lot of people just doing good raising
money and I got to spend the day with Gabby
and her family and we drove around the golf course.
(12:08):
It was a beautiful day. It was like that fear
that it might rain or thunderstorm, but it never did,
so a good gust of wind, no sun. It was
beautiful and we just drove around the entire day for
like four and a half hours, interviewing some of the
you know, people that were heavy donators, sponsors, board members.
(12:31):
It was a lot, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Gabby golf at all, looked like she was dressed.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So she took a couple of shots. People were giving
her driver and so did her brother Cooper and dude.
Then men, it was just the locker room at the
farm is sick. Had to get a hat. I was like,
I was like, should I get it? I didn't really
golf here, I didn't care. I was like, this hat's fire,
I'm getting.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So absolutely crazy, a lot of fun, and we'll be
there next year and hopefully, you know, we'll bring some
sponsors of hell.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So a lot of golf in the last couple of weeks, uh, decent,
decent golf.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Will say, baseball, there's been a lot of baseball. We
might as well just briefly talk about that. Don't worry, Philly.
You guys are still the best team in baseballs. As
much as it might pain us to say the Yankees
still suck from the last time.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
We talk to you.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
They just can't put anything together. Man, they're just dropping.
And no offense to you. But if you're dropping the
four games you played to the Mets, who was the
worst team in one of the worst teams, not bottom three,
would say, you know, a month and a half ago,
that is now. Dare I say if the season ended today,
(13:40):
the Mets are in the wild car.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And at the number two seed, which is sick.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Unreal, Yeah, absolutely unreal. I'm happy for him, I am.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I do think that now is the time Yankees really
need to look, take a hard look, and get together
trade deadlines approaching. For the love of God, do something.
I mean, don't tell me you can't make moves. Even
Philly is talking about making moves. Philly, who has one
of the best starting rotations in baseball right now. They
might have their eyes on some pitching, but just it
(14:10):
never ceases to amaze me how good this team can be.
Talking about the Yankees and just how bad they've been playing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
The only the only fear that Philadelphia has right now
is their schedule is tough. They're playing first place teams NonStop.
They're not They're there where you were a month ago,
concerned about your team. Uh, and it could it could
get bad. Like you know, when I look at the record,
(14:38):
I'm like, you know, by the end of August, you
could be close to one hundred wins if you do this,
you know, at the rate you're going.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I was like, I mean they do, and they have
some local room line.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
They see the Yankees on Friday, you know, Actually, so
I'm sorry, not on Friday, next on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
I think next week the Yankees come to Philly. So
it's it's tough, but I think some of.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
These teams are in a slump. I mean, you just
I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
To look, you know, the the Guardians this weekend will
be a real test for them, a young, explosive team.
And then, like I said, I mean the Yankees coming
to town for was it three days?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
One? Two?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Two?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, three days?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I don't think that's gonna be a problem for Philly.
It pains me to say that. I think the Yankees
maybe take one out of the two, but I mean,
come on, what are we doing here? Unless Philly really
gets ahead in their record and they start kind of
taking chances and kind of feeling out a few situations,
I think, at least rolling into September, I would say
(15:40):
that they're going to get close to one hundred wins.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, I see them, you know, maybe adding on to
the outfield. I see them adding to the bullpen the Phillies.
But yeah, they're they're on cruise control.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It's got to be such a great vibe to be
sixty four and thirty eight in counting, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Well, I mean, honestly, there's even speculation that they're going
to try to go after uh Schooble to Schooble, which
is one of the best pitchers in baseball, right.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, they have the cap to do it.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
According to some reports here, they have some really good
prospects that they could try to trade.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I think it's still a long shot, but like, why
why mess with it?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Man?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You have a great starting rotation.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Why even I mean, like you said, get some insurance
in the outfield.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
But other than that, just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, as long as everybody stays healthy here, Yeah, we'll see.
I mean, the the cool part is, you know, the
wild card, the way it's three teams now, you know,
So it's.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
The best thing they ever did. What was that two
years ago? Three years ago?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah, it was by far the best thing because and honestly,
I mean we've seen situations to where and it might
even happen this year again where in the NL East
and AL East you got three of Yah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That's what I'm saying. It's the best thing for East
Coast baseball. Yeah, for sure, Like you know, we're taking
advantage of it nine times out of ten, absolutely, you know,
and then a little bit of the central on the
West coast not so much. You know, it's kind of
the way.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It should be.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I mean, that's like the most fair way to do it,
adding that wild card spot without just saying, hey, you
know what, here's the al these top. However, many teams
forget about it. You're making it, you know what. I mean,
that's kind of what they did in so many ways.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I love it, but it's just it's wild. Man.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It's a wild car.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It's a wild car. It's so wild.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
No, it's it's so weird to have a season again, though,
I will share that. You know, I'm still kind of
on that reverse jinx with the Mets. I'm not fully sold.
But man, you know, twelfth two, they beat the Yankees
like that.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You always said, like what a roller coaster that fan is.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It's just so funny because in past years it's been
like hot out the gate, crash and burn in August
and September.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, whereas you were god awful, it was starting to
get better.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Ride in that Grimace train, right, uh huh. And then
you know you had your your met fans that were
like true speculation. I mean you said you were boycott
and then during the whole Grimace thing, we would make jokes,
but you never really got excited. You're like, yeah, this
is just the whatever. We made some Grimace shirts that
kind of catch a little bit of because.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Every year it's like Grimace, It's Donny Diesel, you know,
it's all these things that just tend to be this
nostalgia type thing and then they just fizzle and die
and then you end up like and I said, I
I hope this doesn't happen to anybody I care about,
But like Donny Diesel became hated by the Mets fan base, like,
(18:42):
you know, like that's terrible, but not Grimace. Not Grimace.
You can't hate grim Grimace. And you definitely can't do
that to the artist that is J Mac Customs, who
will be doing Mets art for the rest of his life. Uh,
and he deserves every second of that.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So absolutely.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
On top of Jmac though, let's talk baseball. Let's talk Phillies, Mets. Yankees.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
If you have a.
Speaker 4 (19:08):

your mouth is. For example, cut betting. Yes, let's just

I lost a lot of money in the beginning of
the sea my god, because as much as I was
saying on the air, it wasn't for the mets. I
was hoping. I'm like, you know, the plus money right now,
will take it, you know. But now I've gotten it
all back, So it's really cool. It'll be a part
(19:54):

but you could.

Absolutely, we got to take a quick break, guys when
we come back. Yes, the Olympics are finally back, and
you're not gonna believe what some teams are already doing
there in Paris and the just hectic situation that is
ten thousand athletes plus a whole bunch of tourists over there.
Speaker 3 (20:46):

not gonna care, but we'll take it into consideration. Just
feel free to go ahead and shoot us a message
(21:20):
with anything you want to hear from US Olympics.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Are you excited at all?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
So I was in Paris, you know I brought you
home a cool pen from there, and you know, it
was really cool watching them set up. It was really
cool knowing the symbols were going to be put on
the Eiffel Tower, you know, And I was like, man,
I really felt really cool about it. What I didn't
(21:48):
like is I was already hear in rumors that the
air conditioning was going to become an issue the car,
Like did you see the cardboard beds?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Did you see them testing it out?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Okay, go ahead with what you're saying, and I'll tell
you just exactly how.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
The one I saw was like the athlete like proving
it was actually cardboard, Like she pulled up the mattress.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, and then there I saw athletes testing its their ability. No, so,
do you know the whole theory other than going green?
You know, the theory behind the cardboard beds? No, okay,
I don't know if this is true, if it was speculated,
but the Olympic committee wanted to make these beds along
(22:29):
with Paris and France, and basically they're going green, but
they wanted to make these anti sex beds. They wanted
to discourage the athletes from hooking up with each other
while over there because apparently, apparently be in the Olympic
village in the past, you have all these top tier athletes, right,
(22:50):
do not ask, do not stuff. But you have all
these top tier athletes from different countries, all like minded,
good looking individuals in one spot. Apparently it's like this
crazy all right. So the Olympic Committee, Oh god, So
(23:10):
the Olympic Committee basically along with this going green initiative
made wanted to make these beds to where it was
very difficult.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
To make love, to have sex in them.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Okay, so the athletes not only showed you that it
was cardboard, it does actually look like underneath, if you
see the videos on Instagram or TikTok, it looks like
a pile of Amazon boxes.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
It looks like.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
However, it's a very sturdy pile of Amazon boxes.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
They tested.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Some of these athletes are straight up jumping on them.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
And they're not bouncing, so they're kind of uncomfortable, but
they ain't collapsing. So I mean, God, if all you
need is a hard surface, you got it.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
So that's the other problem. Though. You would think they
would be in like a high end hotel, like you know,
a nice.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Bed to a world literally the best athletes at what
they do from their country. Why would you not put
them in a comfortable environment. They're competing for a once
in a lifetime opportunity at.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Gold and it's a twin bed. It doesn't look like
most of the figs exactly. It's so insane. It's just
insane to me, Like you treat it like summer camp. Like, fact,
do you know if they.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Have to stay in the Olympic village?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I think they do. I mean, you know, I.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Know during the like last Summer Olympics was during COVID,
where it was like mandatory they weren't leaving their room
unless it was for competing. Yeah, but now I also
wonder how COVID is going to impact this because it's
still a thing.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, Like is it our athletes is still gonna get sick?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Like I don't think quarantine is as much even over here,
if you have COVID, they're like.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Oh, wear a mask for two I assume like the
like the golfers, like, that's just like a PGA tournament
for them, So I assume they could stay wherever they want, right.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Right, I'm just kind of thinking, you know, I don't
know anyway, So with the time difference. Guys, if you're
interested the opening ceremony, now, if you've watched some Olympics
so far, it's because I guess they're doing like they're
grouping and figuring.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Out who places where.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
But the opening ceremony officially starts one thirty on Friday
our time, one thirty hour time. I think that's about
six pm Paris tim er six thirty their time, So
that's gonna start, and then all the way through August eleventh,
I think eleventh or twelfth is the closing ceremony. So
there's gonna be like sixty different games and if you
want to watch them live, you have your choice to
(25:32):
watch them. I think they start as early as three
in the morning and they go all the way through
six pm our time. Wow, which is a little weird night.
And I don't so And I think that's I want
to say when I read that that was the live
like if you wanted to catch it live, which yeah,
competition times will run from three am roughly to six
pm Eastern time.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, but it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Man.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Peyton Manning is gonna cover at least the opening ceremony
with like Clark saying and Mike Turico, like just a
weird combination.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
They're trying to make it a thing.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Well they're trying to get viewers, which I get and
and honestly, and it looks like they're gonna do it
and like whatever, the whatever river, the.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Lean, the rain, the scene. Okay, s e I any
I imagine heard it's like a boat river.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
It's like a boat array. Apparently this river in Paris
is like one of the dirtiest disgusting so they they
it was a billion dollar initiative to clean up this
river and it's now safe for the swimmers to swim
in for the triathlon.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Sure it is, Well that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I just saw it the other day. And the other
thing was they so a lot of people in Paris
like to fish because apparently like there's a lot of
stuff down there, like old guns, just things that were
thrown in the river, cars, scooters, like you could find
metal joolery. Uh so they call it, like I forget
(27:03):
like something metal fishing, right, Yeah, like a magnet. They
got a giant magnet and they're just thrown in there.
It's banned from doing that because they said there's a
lot of buried bodies from world War two and World
War One. No way, yeah in there, so it's considered
a graveyard. So how it looked like chocolate milk. I
was there two weeks before, and so unless that billion
(27:24):
dollars rolled in right after I left, it doesn't you
know how the Jersey Shore gets a bad rep for
not being able to sit to the bottom of the ocean.
This is ten times worse it was. It looked like
Charlie chocolate in the factory, chocolate factory, the chocolate fountain. Man,
I was disgusted by it. I was like, they're gonna
put people in here, They're.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Gonna they say, it's like one of the filthiest bodies
of gotter because it's.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Just bodies in water, Like there's a bunch of dead
bodies in there, like you know, like I I even said,
like if you were, I bet you tastes like coins,
Like if you were to put that in your mouth,
it's so nasty, poor swimmers, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Hold on honestly, opening ceremony, I'm trying to find where
it says literally says like this is one of the
nastiest bodies.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I mean I experienced it, like not we didn't go in,
but I didn't even want to go on a boat.
There was a couple of cool, like boat looking things.
I was like, you know, I'm a pass on that.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah, a one billion dollar investment, and there there was
some bacteria related setbacks. It's finally swimmable, it says, but dude,
it's it's crazy. So I'm super interested just in the
games itself. I always love when the Olympics come around
(28:46):
because nobody cares about swimming.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I would say more.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
People probably care about gymnastics all year round than swimming.
But like, you don't care about archery until you're no
in a bar at three p m. On July Day,
just rooting for the USA for no reason. What's that's
what I love about? Forget about I mean basketball, soccer, rugby,
(29:13):
Like you're your bigger events, I should say, more popular
or more well known events. Absolutely that they've always been,
you know, people.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Just lining up to roof for it.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
But like, come on, I remember being in a bar
when Michael Phelps would compete years ago, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And it was wild man.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
The whole place would stop, the DJ would stop playing
music just to watch this thirty second race and the.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Place would go wild. You would think that you bet
on it.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You would think, yeah, like it's just and and the
other thing is too like, uh, yeah, it's just so
funny all the experts. Now I'm swimming like you're staying
next to but yeah, you get bitch hit the butterfly
that you probably just heard that before the last commercial.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Problems you in Tucky his year like he was supposed
to under his cap. I mean really, the drag really
brought him down. Like get it's.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, it's cool though. I like it. I like
the uh, you know, the patriotism. I'm excited for golf.
I'm bummed baseball isn't in it. Uh, it will be
back in four years, I believe, or however long it takes.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, don't don't worry too much. Like because break dancing
is it's called breaking, which is break dance. But I'm
telling you right now, man, it's it's gonna be a
big hit.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I hope that's on August eighth, because that would be
funny if they tie in the ojo and I know
it's not an ESPN thing, but it would just be
fun I.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Can actually tell you if it would be on the
eighth because the Nbcolympics dot Com has the whole schedule
of everything. Looks women's round two, golf, taekwondo, table tennis, diving.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Uh, let's see, let's see.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Rhythmic gymnastics, more table tennis, drecking, field, canoeing. I don't
think you're getting breaking, buddy. You're getting some wrestling, sailing,
more canoeing.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh yeah, sorry, buddy.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Oh who kis my friend's birthday?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Speaking of the water, Well, I'm the seventh, so the
eighth is the yojo like so I was just wondering if.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Oh that's right. Yeah, well hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's okay. I almost forgot your birthday.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Because you said for my birthday and then you started
going on it against the yocho.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I still don't think you're getting man. You got handball
on your birthday, though.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
That's exciting. I like handball. That's a Brooklyn thing. Uh. Look,
I also I read this and I wanted to share
with you before we run out of time here. The
moon is like drifting away from the Earth and it's
causing problems. I just read this article. That's as far
as I read, so I definitely read a headline and
I was like, I can't wait to share this record.
(31:58):
You know, it's just funny because your boys and as
they love giving these things like I saw yesterday like this.
They call it like the Merchant of Death. Meteor is
coming like in like ten years or something that's gonna
be like one hundred.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
This is why I hate NASA, right, So you're right.
Turns out that the moon is moving away from Earth
at three point eight two centimeters a year, So every
year the Earth moves a little bit farther three point
almost four centimeters, which means, guys, I don't want you
(32:33):
to panic, but eventually it'll result in Earth days now
lasting twenty five hours in about two hundred million years.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Why is this news? I just love.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I love that somebody is getting paid to discuss. God,
figure that out.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Two hundred million years, two hundred million years.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Like the first of all, we've all seen the effects
of climate change in the last ten years. Yeah, we're
not lasting two hundred million years. The moon can go
wherever once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta be cut like
come on, come on.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I do.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I do find it funny that, like you know, uh,
certain restrictions that Paris and in London have already and
like America is like we're not doing that. Like, but
I did hate those paper cups, man, they were disgusting
drinking any type of cold beverage out of the paper cup.
It should be banned regardless, like it should be a
(33:35):
plastic or like a reusable cup should never be a
paper cup. Like iced coffee and a paper cup. It's disgusting,
like it. It's absolutely the worst thing you could ever eat,
and especially a paper straw.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
So it's just all paper straw, gross.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
And and there even their paper cups aren't like their
their paper they're not like enameled like.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Then on the side.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, because so it was pretty disgusting.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
But I tell you, man, trying to clean up and
go green and all that. Like if you want to
sell me a reusable cup or something, I get it,
but don't come on, don't if we don't give me
that actually, and I also we were talking about this
last week with my family because an.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Article popped up.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Only like nine percent of the stuff you recycle or
put in the recycling bin.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh, we send it to China.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Actually like gets recycled. Everything else just ends up in
a landfill.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, and then the other thing is too, like they
still filter out your trash too, to see if they
could recycle stuff, which makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
At the bar.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
They actually threatened because like we weren't separating the stuff properly,
and the company that takes away the trash and the
recycling actually threatened us with fines until we sent them
CCTV footage of the one truck that they send picking
up for both dumpsters, dumping the true and the recycling
in the back of the same ting. Like it's weird
(35:03):
because you charge us for the two dumpsters and you
say you're gonna find us for not separating, but you
put this in the same spot that you mean to
tell me you separate it all when you get back
get out of here. Yeah, so it's so sonny, like
nine percent, why do I have to separate everything if
only nine percent of it's actually getting d And.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Then there's like other people that are like, you know,
you can't put a bag, don't put the bag in
there or whatever because it messes up the recycling machine
batty here.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's a plastic bag, right, recyclists.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah, they're like it messes up for our machine and.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
NASA and recycling or two beefs that I just keep
crowing and crowing.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Guys, stay with us. We got to take a quick break.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Somebody did a stupid survey of the ten best fast
food chains in America, and Mike and I are going
to hash it out because I strongly disagree. I don't
really know how you feel about it. You just sent it,
and I told you I can't wait to cover it.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
So stay with us. You'll hear all about the Live
Fox Sports, the Gambler.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
The Gambling Philly for all things sports gambling. You're listening
to the Divide right here on the Gambler.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Divide, Live Fox Sports, The Gambler.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Before we get into this fast food breakdown, we were
just talking in the break you were saying, because there
was that rumor that with all these hold ups for
the Sixers new stadium, even with the owners front and
the billion dollar investment down in Center City, there was
still a chance or something came out to where they
could possibly move to Camden in New Jersey, which would
(36:29):
be hysterical, and that would then make the third team
that plays in New Jersey that considers themselves from a
different city, a different city. And I told you that
it was just I think it was on barstool. Aaron
Rodgers was doing an interview and basically said like, yeah, no,
there the Jets and Giants, that they should be the
New Jersey Jets and Giants. That's where they play, that's
(36:50):
where they're from. And Aaron Rodgers himself said, there's not
one person on the Jets roster that lives in New York.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, and I get that, but he's he doesn't understand
this area, so he shouldn't have an opinion just because
you played for one down in this city. You don't
get to say what what it should be labeled. Like
I understand, like the Jets have high hopes for you,
but try to convince that fan base to not call
themselves the New York Jets. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
It's just a dumb question, it is.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
It's a stupid what a terrible journalist like you can
ask Aaron Rodgers anything. Aaron, you know you're playing New Jersey,
do you think they should be called the Jersey Like?
He doesn't care what the team is called. They're paying
him millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
That move was so trash though, because one it is
I think on a landfill like it feels like it is.
It's like on swamp land. The Eagles fans call it
the swamp, you know, in the metal lands. So the
two was like it could have it could have had
every team right there, could add every team right there.
It could have been really cool complex that mall took
forever to open. Now I don't even want to go
(37:57):
because it just doesn't. It's not appetizing anymore. Like everything
they tried to do in that area just fell through. Right.
You had for a little bit, the Nets were around
there right with their arena and.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Was around there. That's and the Devils would play at
the Continental Arena.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah, but it.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Just wasn't and it's still not that accessible to mass transportation.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And it's funny and it's kind of fitting because the
man who moved the Devils out of that arena and
put him in Newark is now talking. He's the same
owner of the Sixers. So the Devil's owner is the
Sixers owner. And now he's going to do the same
thing he did in Newark to Camden. And you know, honestly,
that's where they get their money is property. So he
could build all around that stadium. He'll probably buy more
(38:44):
land than just the arena, you know, And I think
that's the same thing he's looking to do in Center City,
So this is a great position for him. But again
it breaks up the amazingness that is I want to
go to a Sixers game. Want to go to a
Flyers game. Maybe I'm not that interested, but the extra
kicker of knowing there's a casino that I could stop in,
or there's Expending Alive where we get a pregame drink,
(39:07):
you know, like it's appetizing to me.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
The best part about that complex in Philly. The best
thing you guys have Philly is the fact that first
of all, super easy to get in and out of them.
Like we've ubered there the last couple of times, but
even if we were driving, so it's super easily.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
The bridge.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
I've never a knock on wood here, but like, just
like we went to the Yankee game Saturday, just getting
out of the like on the Major d caon across
the bridge, Like, dude, it's an hour.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I've never waited longer.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Than like twenty minutes getting out of any any game
or event in Philly. And it's not like I'm not
leaving early to beat the traffic. I'm leaving with everybody else.
They just have it down to a science. Man, It's
just I don't know. They got the right setup, and
you have expanded. I think that helps when you have
a casino, you have expanded a live people are like,
I'm not a rushing out of here, and then people
just kind of slowly dip out.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
So then Wells Fargo announced they're not renewing their name
on the on the the arena as well, so that's
up in about a year. So it's not gonna be
called the Wells Fargo for the last five years that
the Sixers playing it, because the Sixers are there till
twenty thirty one. So that's crazy too, So what's it
going to be called now?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
So there's there's a lot of nonsense and I'm just like, man, this,
you know, they could have figured this out. I wish
the Sixers weren't moving out of that area, but it's
obvious that they might not only be moving out of
the area, they might be moving out.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Of the city. Yeah, get out of here, but.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
It would be a nice skyline to see from Camden.
So I'm like, no, I'm dead serious, like you would
see it for the skyline. Yea, it is nice, but
like you don't get that with the metal lands, Like
all you see is like.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Fog and marsh and power plants.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
And oil things and whatever. Gasoline is a terrible It's
a terrible area. So bad area, all right.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
So boardroom on Instagram, uh did a top fast food
chains top ten in America and Chick fil A was
number one for the last decade. Spoiler alert, They're no
longer number one. Here's the problem I have with this.
There are fast food chains in this top ten and
(41:14):
I'm sorry. This is according to USA Today. This is
a rank survey from USA Today. So Boardroom on Instagram
are is just reporting from what USA Today reported. There's
fast food establishments in this top ten mic that aren't
available yeah, in across the United States.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Like this is dumb. It is like there's one two
I don't know. It's Hardy's in New Jersey. Do we
have a Harty's?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Are they the same as no? I guess not. Well,
what is that other one where it's like dual like too,
I know Checkers Checkers of.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Hardy's is the same as I keep wanting to call,
like Jimmy John anyway. So with that being said, as
anybody knows if a Harty's in New Jersey or even Philly. Uh,
there's five five fast food chains on this list that
are not available in the state of New Jersey or
even I've never seen them in the Philadelphia area either.
(42:13):
So number one is Del Taco, which I've been to
Del Taco before. Okay, they're fantastic. Okay, they're not on
the east side of the Mississippi, right.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I saw one in LA and I thought it was
like a bootleg Taco Bell.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
It's like a fresher quote Taco Bell, which I don't know.
They're not bad, but so Del Taco's number one, So
stupid yous like this, This isn't the best fast food
chain in America. You can't find that across all fifty states.
Bro two is KFC.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
If this was nineteen ninety five, i'd agree with you, KFC.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
KFC has been downhill slope. Then you have Chick fil A,
which I still think is severely overrated. Right for their
number two or they their number three, Del Taco, KFC,
Chick fil A's crazy, and four is In and Out,
which we've been in and out.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I get it, they're good, but you can't find.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Them anywhere anywhere.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
This on the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
YO.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I had it with Timmy once I shared this story.
I'm eating the fries and on the bottom of the
fries it says this was made with sunflower oil, so
like yellow the whole I was like.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Mike is allergic the sunflower seeds, sunflower anything. So the
fact that he finished the fries read that he probably
immediately checked himself into the emergency room. So to give
you the list from one to ten, Del Taco, KFC,
Chick fil A, In and Out, Hearty's at five, Captain
D's at six, insert joke here, Captain D's at number six.
(43:42):
Don't even know what that is. I've never seen one
of those. Taco Bell is seven, Popeyes is eight.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Zach called my wife Captain D's. I'm going right out.
Speaker 4 (44:02):

we're not saying these places are good for the record.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
What have you when was the last time you ated
any of these?
Speaker 2 (44:20):
None. Yeah, not in a long long time.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
And we're not super healthy people.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
But like, at the same time, like it's is not
a part of our life right now every now, like
for the last couple of years, with the exception.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
Of the last two.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
So let's just say Wendy's isn't on this Wendy's No.
So I used to once a year on my birthday.
I used to just order Taco Bell. Yeah, but I
haven't done that in like the last two years. And
that was always like, oh my treat, let me just
treat myself the diarrhea on the day after my birthday.
But no, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's are all not on there.
But you have something called Zaxby's and Captain D's, which
(44:55):
I've never It's not like I've ever driven past and
seen a sign for it.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
I just don't get, Like I don't get the obsession
with Chick fil A to begin with.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
It's okay, it's really not like have you ever been like, oh,
I hate too much at Chick fil A? Like and
it for fast food and good food. It's it's like
right in the middle the Nugs were amazing for a while,
but they've kind of fallen off like every other fist. Yeah,
I just I don't know, man, But what I do
know is, yeah, it's a very appetiting episode.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Yeah, this is uh giving me the runs.

I live Fox Sports The Gambler one of two, Trenton
check us out on the our Heart app uh and
we're here for the first show in like, dude, three weeks. Yeah,
it's that Fourth of July holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Really not on Q one O two no, no, almost
went live there, jeez, which I think would have done
well for our ratings.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I gotta be honest with it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, I also I feel bad because it's like, uh,
you ever see what is it the movie with Don't
Go Chasing Waterfalls? Whis too many jobs? The other guys,
the other guys, Yeah, like that Death and Beyond. It's like, yeah,
don't you know you gotta creep? Yeah, creep. Speaking of
being a creep, I want to apologize, well, I guess
not being a creep more of a jerk. It was
(01:43):
your birthday last weekend and Jerm does this awesome post
to Bert and is a fancy thing and wish yeah
happy birthday. And I feel like two things. And I'm
not making an excuse for myself because you're my best friend,
I should overly celebrate your birthday, but my ads birthdays
around this time, so I try to forget.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
To just make it through this. I don't need the
attention that Burt needs, I know, and you don't need to.
You don't need to compensate the way the Germ compensates
its GQ magazine. Jesus Christ, Jimmy Bond, James, Burt Bond, Bond,
h it's a happy birthday, man, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You know you texted me. This is why I think
it hit me a little hard, because it just shows
how great a friend you are and how genuine you are.
You knew I was golf and I had a bad
round at the swinging and digging open. My head was
at again doing too many jobs at once. So you're like, dude,
just enjoyed the day. So you woke up first thing
(02:46):
on your birthday, uh, you know, and you texted me
to make sure I had fun in my round.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Well, so funny you say that, because I was I
was a little I was a little jealous. I was like, man,
he gets and you were playing gamblers, which I love playing,
and you were playing with Timmy all and I really
want to play with Timmy just to see what kind
of a golfer is I've heard from you. I'm good
he's he had a couple of really good shots.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I see it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, and I know what.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I love Timmy, but I have to see the golfer.
And I've never seen golfer tim I've seen like you know,
I've done. We've done five k's with Timmy. We've done
like these mud runs, We've done like these random sporting
event type deals with I've never golf with this dude, yeh.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Normally, like I tell him, like, oh, you're being too
hard on yourself. Don't be too hard on a golf course.
I let him do it because he overperforms like he's performed.
I was like, I don't think you realize how good
you Just a year from now, we should be in
the PGAs or pretty in.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Golf.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Jarred one from like sixty three yards out. It was nuts, man.
I just I couldn't believe it. You know, his putting
game was strong, his drives coming around. You know, he's
going through the same struggles trying to figure out his bag,
the right mix in it. You know, I just bought
a new driver, so that's why I really want to
get it out. And I was like, sure, let's do it.
And you know, golf now allows you to invite your friends,
(04:06):
which I think is really cool, but we have to
be friends.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I finally accepted. I was like, man, we're not friends.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So uh.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
What's funny though, is it was my birthday and I
was excited because it was it was a nice day.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It was like nice outside. I'm like, damn man. And
it was a little bit of a later it was
like what ten am start or something like that. A
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, that that kind of bit us in the you
know what, it was hot, dude.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I mentioned it to my wife four times. I'm like, yeah,
I know he's be's.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Golfing gamblers, just thinking she might be like, oh, what's
your birthday? Why don't you see if you get out?
You know, she didn't even hint at it. I'm like,
I guess she want at a family day, which was fine.
We had a really good day as a family.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I was like, I wonder if you Yeah, when
you sent the text, I thought because our twosome that
we're golfing with did not show up yet, so I
thought you did take my.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Advice so hard about it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, I was just waiting for a little bit of
a green light, and I was just gonna show I
wasn't act. That's how I would have done it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I wouldn't have just told you. I would have just
showed up.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, it would have been like the epic text to
like walk up behind me while I was reading it.
So but yeah, shout outs to Burt.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I just walked behind you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You're gonna suck today. It's all over pal uh. But
also like the and I don't know why it bothers
me so much, but people who just blatantly like lie
about their scores on a golf course, like.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Those guys are hilarious, are like what?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But we had one in our group and it was
Outlanders like he he was taking like four off the
t like yo, and he wouldn't let other people do
it like he would. He would get in his car
and drive off like and he it's funny because I said,
and this is messed up. I'm gonna say it anyway.
I was like, yo, he reminds me of all the
(05:48):
bad parts about Burt. Like this, this guy like old guy,
young guy young. He had mannerisms like Bert, but it
was like if Bert was not genuine and not a
good person, and like anytime he's been like in a
bad mood, this guy was always that guy and in
a d weep too. Bert's not a dweep, so I
(06:10):
guess he's nothing like Burt. But for some reason it
reminded me of Bert, Like maybe the way we joke
about the image of Burt you play.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You played with another two singles.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Two singles. They didn't know each other. The other guy
was an older guy, very nice, brought us around at
the end, which was nice, a great guy. But even
like dude, he does this weird thing where like when
he's putting, he like takes both legs and straddles the
ball and then thrust his hips to like get an
(06:42):
idea of where the ball should go. So I'm like,
is this dude like using his groin right now to
detect like where the ball? It was weird. So he
squares up on the ball and then does his putt,
and his putts were way off so it doesn't work.
But yeah, he'd be like, man, just miss par just
miss parr. I was like, I just watched you shoot
four like three into I was like, Bro, you're like
(07:04):
laying seven to o.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
B get at it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Like so I was like, who you're fooling. He's like,
got another par, got another par? I was like. And
I was like, oh, Tim, is it just me? Like
you know, and like there are people that are like
put me down for six and they shot like nine
or ten and uh, you know, and I always could
I always say that's funny. But this guy like just
blatantly like, Bro, you made more than you took more
(07:29):
than four shots. And before you left the team.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Bro, we talk about this all the time, like if
you if you were good at this game, you wouldn't
be playing gamblers, right, I mean it's it's a great course,
but like the the average I would even say, I
can't even say the average pro if you're a scratch golfer,
like you're only using your driver maybe three or four
times on that course, you know what I mean, because
(07:52):
they're par fours are are crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So I'm almost at a point where like I can't
use my driver for the straight Yeah, the back nine,
it's like, uh.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
There's two par fives I think on the back of
that course, and then everything else is like a little
bit of a shorter part four and a couple of
part so it's it's like, if you're gonna keep score,
do it the right way. We're just don't keep it
at all. Like who cares you say? Oh, man, I
hit a couple of good ones. I can't stand that is.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
The time he told me I was in the water, dude.
I was like, I don't think I'm in the water.
He's like, brow you in the water. And it was
that short par four or no part, the big par
three with the water to the left, so like yeah,
and like you're like can I and you have to
maybe it is a par four yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Gotta be it. Only the only part three with water
is that short one that Yeah, No, no, it's actually
there's two. There's one, it's the other.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Like but yeah, dude, the rounds they were telling us
that are getting so out of hand, like six hour
rounds on Sundays there that they had to raise the price.
That's how rid.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's outrageous. Yeah, what is the marshall do? Like they're
not speeding this.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They were being crazy like I heard them on the
radio and stuff, and this was just like it was
a log.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Dam.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
They're like, there's nothing you could do, and the people
behind us are frustrated. They think it's us because like
every time they showed up, the other people just got
out of the way, and it's like, dude, I swear
they were just there like you know. So yeah, so
it looked like it looked like it was us.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
But well that's what happened. Like we did swing it.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I mean obviously it was a scramble. A lot of
holes were doubled up at the Legacy Great Course, but
we were just twesome, yeah, which is cool because we're
just kind of riding around. But the guys in front
of us were cool. We got to stop and talk
to them, but it never seemed like they were waiting
on anyoney. It almost seemed like they were just taking
their tats exactly, just kind of like.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Are there they are they waiting for these guys?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Are they just like because even not even off the
tea box, like even when they would eventually get together
and find the ball, they're like just kind of But
with Legacy, it's like there's at least three holes where
off the te box you're hitting blind.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You don't know, Like the first hole we played was
whole six.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yes, six, were accidentally hit into them because we're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, Yeah, you're a great drive
of the day.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I'm like, their first drive never goes like that, and
like we're literally driving up like oh my balls up,
they're just leaving where.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm like, oh sorry guys.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But they were like, nice drive, bro, And it was
a great drive. So yeah, it was like, you know,
when you're golfing on that those are two different I
don't even want to call them the same kind of sport, right,
Legacies a beautiful palace and then you know the gamblers,
your ball is in the rough at gambler.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It's like, oh, a rough patch of the fair way.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I lost the ball in the rough legacy. I know
exactly where it went. I look for it. It wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, it was unreal, like that's the ball just died
if you hit it, like you were being penalized for
being in the rough. It literally was rough.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
It was good though.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Also I felt like because it was announting that they
didn't I wanted to ask Jeff this, Like I feel
like they purpose they didn't know all weekend or something
because like Mondays normally are closed. It it was a Monday, right,
it wasn't Monday. Yeah, So I bet you like they
didn't know that day or something. Probably they probably don't.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
You honestly, why no sense in making it perfect for
a bunch of idiots like ourselves that are going to go.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But even that, like to win the hole, to win
a car like that pin was all the way in the.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Back, you mean the one hundred and seventy five yards
with a slope of like sixty yards.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And yeah, I hit it well like the woman was
like nice right on the lip, but it just died, right, Yeah,
it just jo no kicker, nothing, but uh, yeah, it
was a fun round for good people. I also did
something else I did not get to partake in golf.
Next year we will, I promise I will find us
a rich person that can afford it. But it to
(11:47):
afford us to play Hamilton Farm, it is unbelievable. And
it was for the children's specialized hospital through play Yellow,
which is amazing through the Miracle network, you know. So
it was a lot of people just doing good raising
money and I got to spend the day with Gabby
and her family and we drove around the golf course.
(12:08):
It was a beautiful day. It was like that fear
that it might rain or thunderstorm, but it never did,
so a good gust of wind, no sun. It was
beautiful and we just drove around the entire day for
like four and a half hours, interviewing some of the
you know, people that were heavy donators, sponsors, board members.
(12:31):
It was a lot, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Gabby golf at all, looked like she was dressed.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So she took a couple of shots. People were giving
her driver and so did her brother Cooper and dude.
Then men, it was just the locker room at the
farm is sick. Had to get a hat. I was like,
I was like, should I get it? I didn't really
golf here, I didn't care. I was like, this hat's fire,
I'm getting.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So absolutely crazy, a lot of fun, and we'll be
there next year and hopefully, you know, we'll bring some
sponsors of hell.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So a lot of golf in the last couple of weeks, uh, decent,
decent golf.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Will say, baseball, there's been a lot of baseball. We
might as well just briefly talk about that. Don't worry, Philly.
You guys are still the best team in baseballs. As
much as it might pain us to say the Yankees
still suck from the last time.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
We talk to you.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
They just can't put anything together. Man, they're just dropping.
And no offense to you. But if you're dropping the
four games you played to the Mets, who was the
worst team in one of the worst teams, not bottom three,
would say, you know, a month and a half ago,
that is now. Dare I say if the season ended today,
(13:40):
the Mets are in the wild car.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And at the number two seed, which is sick.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Unreal, Yeah, absolutely unreal. I'm happy for him, I am.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I do think that now is the time Yankees really
need to look, take a hard look, and get together
trade deadlines approaching. For the love of God, do something.
I mean, don't tell me you can't make moves. Even
Philly is talking about making moves. Philly, who has one
of the best starting rotations in baseball right now. They
might have their eyes on some pitching, but just it
(14:10):
never ceases to amaze me how good this team can be.
Talking about the Yankees and just how bad they've been playing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
The only the only fear that Philadelphia has right now
is their schedule is tough. They're playing first place teams NonStop.
They're not They're there where you were a month ago,
concerned about your team. Uh, and it could it could
get bad. Like you know, when I look at the record,
(14:38):
I'm like, you know, by the end of August, you
could be close to one hundred wins if you do this,
you know, at the rate you're going.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I was like, I mean they do, and they have
some local room line.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
They see the Yankees on Friday, you know, Actually, so
I'm sorry, not on Friday, next on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
I think next week the Yankees come to Philly. So
it's it's tough, but I think some of.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
These teams are in a slump. I mean, you just
I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
To look, you know, the the Guardians this weekend will
be a real test for them, a young, explosive team.
And then, like I said, I mean the Yankees coming
to town for was it three days?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
One? Two?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Two?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, three days?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I don't think that's gonna be a problem for Philly.
It pains me to say that. I think the Yankees
maybe take one out of the two, but I mean,
come on, what are we doing here? Unless Philly really
gets ahead in their record and they start kind of
taking chances and kind of feeling out a few situations,
I think, at least rolling into September, I would say
(15:40):
that they're going to get close to one hundred wins.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, I see them, you know, maybe adding on to
the outfield. I see them adding to the bullpen the Phillies.
But yeah, they're they're on cruise control.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It's got to be such a great vibe to be
sixty four and thirty eight in counting, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Well, I mean, honestly, there's even speculation that they're going
to try to go after uh Schooble to Schooble, which
is one of the best pitchers in baseball, right.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, they have the cap to do it.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
According to some reports here, they have some really good
prospects that they could try to trade.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I think it's still a long shot, but like, why
why mess with it?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Man?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You have a great starting rotation.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Why even I mean, like you said, get some insurance
in the outfield.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
But other than that, just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, as long as everybody stays healthy here, Yeah, we'll see.
I mean, the the cool part is, you know, the
wild card, the way it's three teams now, you know,
So it's.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
The best thing they ever did. What was that two
years ago? Three years ago?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah, it was by far the best thing because and honestly,
I mean we've seen situations to where and it might
even happen this year again where in the NL East
and AL East you got three of Yah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That's what I'm saying. It's the best thing for East
Coast baseball. Yeah, for sure, Like you know, we're taking
advantage of it nine times out of ten, absolutely, you know,
and then a little bit of the central on the
West coast not so much. You know, it's kind of
the way.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It should be.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I mean, that's like the most fair way to do it,
adding that wild card spot without just saying, hey, you
know what, here's the al these top. However, many teams
forget about it. You're making it, you know what. I mean,
that's kind of what they did in so many ways.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I love it, but it's just it's wild. Man.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It's a wild car.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It's a wild car. It's so wild.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
No, it's it's so weird to have a season again, though,
I will share that. You know, I'm still kind of
on that reverse jinx with the Mets. I'm not fully sold.
But man, you know, twelfth two, they beat the Yankees
like that.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You always said, like what a roller coaster that fan is.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It's just so funny because in past years it's been
like hot out the gate, crash and burn in August
and September.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, whereas you were god awful, it was starting to
get better.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Ride in that Grimace train, right, uh huh. And then
you know you had your your met fans that were
like true speculation. I mean you said you were boycott
and then during the whole Grimace thing, we would make jokes,
but you never really got excited. You're like, yeah, this
is just the whatever. We made some Grimace shirts that
kind of catch a little bit of because.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Every year it's like Grimace, It's Donny Diesel, you know,
it's all these things that just tend to be this
nostalgia type thing and then they just fizzle and die
and then you end up like and I said, I
I hope this doesn't happen to anybody I care about,
But like Donny Diesel became hated by the Mets fan base, like,
(18:42):
you know, like that's terrible, but not Grimace. Not Grimace.
You can't hate grim Grimace. And you definitely can't do
that to the artist that is J Mac Customs, who
will be doing Mets art for the rest of his life. Uh,
and he deserves every second of that.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So absolutely.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
On top of Jmac though, let's talk baseball. Let's talk Phillies, Mets. Yankees.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
If you have a.

Absolutely, we got to take a quick break, guys when

(21:20):
with anything you want to hear from US Olympics.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Are you excited at all?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
So I was in Paris, you know I brought you
home a cool pen from there, and you know, it
was really cool watching them set up. It was really
cool knowing the symbols were going to be put on
the Eiffel Tower, you know, And I was like, man,
I really felt really cool about it. What I didn't
(21:48):
like is I was already hear in rumors that the
air conditioning was going to become an issue the car,
Like did you see the cardboard beds?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Did you see them testing it out?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Okay, go ahead with what you're saying, and I'll tell
you just exactly how.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
The one I saw was like the athlete like proving
it was actually cardboard, Like she pulled up the mattress.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, and then there I saw athletes testing its their ability. No, so,
do you know the whole theory other than going green?
You know, the theory behind the cardboard beds? No, okay,
I don't know if this is true, if it was speculated,
but the Olympic committee wanted to make these beds along
(22:29):
with Paris and France, and basically they're going green, but
they wanted to make these anti sex beds. They wanted
to discourage the athletes from hooking up with each other
while over there because apparently, apparently be in the Olympic
village in the past, you have all these top tier athletes, right,
(22:50):
do not ask, do not stuff. But you have all
these top tier athletes from different countries, all like minded,
good looking individuals in one spot. Apparently it's like this
crazy all right. So the Olympic Committee, Oh god, So
(23:10):
the Olympic Committee basically along with this going green initiative
made wanted to make these beds to where it was
very difficult.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
To make love, to have sex in them.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Okay, so the athletes not only showed you that it
was cardboard, it does actually look like underneath, if you
see the videos on Instagram or TikTok, it looks like
a pile of Amazon boxes.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
It looks like.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
However, it's a very sturdy pile of Amazon boxes.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
They tested.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Some of these athletes are straight up jumping on them.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
And they're not bouncing, so they're kind of uncomfortable, but
they ain't collapsing. So I mean, God, if all you
need is a hard surface, you got it.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
So that's the other problem. Though. You would think they
would be in like a high end hotel, like you know,
a nice.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Bed to a world literally the best athletes at what
they do from their country. Why would you not put
them in a comfortable environment. They're competing for a once
in a lifetime opportunity at.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Gold and it's a twin bed. It doesn't look like
most of the figs exactly. It's so insane. It's just
insane to me, Like you treat it like summer camp. Like, fact,
do you know if they.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Have to stay in the Olympic village?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I think they do. I mean, you know, I.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Know during the like last Summer Olympics was during COVID,
where it was like mandatory they weren't leaving their room
unless it was for competing. Yeah, but now I also
wonder how COVID is going to impact this because it's
still a thing.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, Like is it our athletes is still gonna get sick?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Like I don't think quarantine is as much even over here,
if you have COVID, they're like.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Oh, wear a mask for two I assume like the
like the golfers, like, that's just like a PGA tournament
for them, So I assume they could stay wherever they want, right.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Right, I'm just kind of thinking, you know, I don't
know anyway, So with the time difference. Guys, if you're
interested the opening ceremony, now, if you've watched some Olympics
so far, it's because I guess they're doing like they're
grouping and figuring.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Out who places where.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
But the opening ceremony officially starts one thirty on Friday
our time, one thirty hour time. I think that's about
six pm Paris tim er six thirty their time, So
that's gonna start, and then all the way through August eleventh,
I think eleventh or twelfth is the closing ceremony. So
there's gonna be like sixty different games and if you
want to watch them live, you have your choice to
(25:32):
watch them. I think they start as early as three
in the morning and they go all the way through
six pm our time. Wow, which is a little weird night.
And I don't so And I think that's I want
to say when I read that that was the live
like if you wanted to catch it live, which yeah,
competition times will run from three am roughly to six
pm Eastern time.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, but it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Man.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Peyton Manning is gonna cover at least the opening ceremony
with like Clark saying and Mike Turico, like just a
weird combination.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
They're trying to make it a thing.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Well they're trying to get viewers, which I get and
and honestly, and it looks like they're gonna do it
and like whatever, the whatever river, the.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Lean, the rain, the scene. Okay, s e I any
I imagine heard it's like a boat river.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
It's like a boat array. Apparently this river in Paris
is like one of the dirtiest disgusting so they they
it was a billion dollar initiative to clean up this
river and it's now safe for the swimmers to swim
in for the triathlon.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Sure it is, Well that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I just saw it the other day. And the other
thing was they so a lot of people in Paris
like to fish because apparently like there's a lot of
stuff down there, like old guns, just things that were
thrown in the river, cars, scooters, like you could find
metal joolery. Uh so they call it, like I forget
(27:03):
like something metal fishing, right, Yeah, like a magnet. They
got a giant magnet and they're just thrown in there.
It's banned from doing that because they said there's a
lot of buried bodies from world War two and World
War One. No way, yeah in there, so it's considered
a graveyard. So how it looked like chocolate milk. I
was there two weeks before, and so unless that billion
(27:24):
dollars rolled in right after I left, it doesn't you
know how the Jersey Shore gets a bad rep for
not being able to sit to the bottom of the ocean.
This is ten times worse it was. It looked like
Charlie chocolate in the factory, chocolate factory, the chocolate fountain. Man,
I was disgusted by it. I was like, they're gonna
put people in here, They're.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Gonna they say, it's like one of the filthiest bodies
of gotter because it's.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Just bodies in water, Like there's a bunch of dead
bodies in there, like you know, like I I even said,
like if you were, I bet you tastes like coins,
Like if you were to put that in your mouth,
it's so nasty, poor swimmers, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Hold on honestly, opening ceremony, I'm trying to find where
it says literally says like this is one of the
nastiest bodies.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I mean I experienced it, like not we didn't go in,
but I didn't even want to go on a boat.
There was a couple of cool, like boat looking things.
I was like, you know, I'm a pass on that.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah, a one billion dollar investment, and there there was
some bacteria related setbacks. It's finally swimmable, it says, but dude,
it's it's crazy. So I'm super interested just in the
games itself. I always love when the Olympics come around
(28:46):
because nobody cares about swimming.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I would say more.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
People probably care about gymnastics all year round than swimming.
But like, you don't care about archery until you're no
in a bar at three p m. On July Day,
just rooting for the USA for no reason. What's that's
what I love about? Forget about I mean basketball, soccer, rugby,
(29:13):
Like you're your bigger events, I should say, more popular
or more well known events. Absolutely that they've always been,
you know, people.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Just lining up to roof for it.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
But like, come on, I remember being in a bar
when Michael Phelps would compete years ago, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And it was wild man.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
The whole place would stop, the DJ would stop playing
music just to watch this thirty second race and the.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Place would go wild. You would think that you bet
on it.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You would think, yeah, like it's just and and the
other thing is too like, uh, yeah, it's just so
funny all the experts. Now I'm swimming like you're staying
next to but yeah, you get bitch hit the butterfly
that you probably just heard that before the last commercial.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Problems you in Tucky his year like he was supposed
to under his cap. I mean really, the drag really
brought him down. Like get it's.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, it's cool though. I like it. I like
the uh, you know, the patriotism. I'm excited for golf.
I'm bummed baseball isn't in it. Uh, it will be
back in four years, I believe, or however long it takes.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, don't don't worry too much. Like because break dancing
is it's called breaking, which is break dance. But I'm
telling you right now, man, it's it's gonna be a
big hit.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I hope that's on August eighth, because that would be
funny if they tie in the ojo and I know
it's not an ESPN thing, but it would just be
fun I.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Can actually tell you if it would be on the
eighth because the Nbcolympics dot Com has the whole schedule
of everything. Looks women's round two, golf, taekwondo, table tennis, diving.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Uh, let's see, let's see.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Rhythmic gymnastics, more table tennis, drecking, field, canoeing. I don't
think you're getting breaking, buddy. You're getting some wrestling, sailing,
more canoeing.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh yeah, sorry, buddy.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Oh who kis my friend's birthday?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Speaking of the water, Well, I'm the seventh, so the
eighth is the yojo like so I was just wondering if.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Oh that's right. Yeah, well hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's okay. I almost forgot your birthday.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Because you said for my birthday and then you started
going on it against the yocho.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I still don't think you're getting man. You got handball
on your birthday, though.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
That's exciting. I like handball. That's a Brooklyn thing. Uh. Look,
I also I read this and I wanted to share
with you before we run out of time here. The
moon is like drifting away from the Earth and it's
causing problems. I just read this article. That's as far
as I read, so I definitely read a headline and
I was like, I can't wait to share this record.
(31:58):
You know, it's just funny because your boys and as
they love giving these things like I saw yesterday like this.
They call it like the Merchant of Death. Meteor is
coming like in like ten years or something that's gonna
be like one hundred.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
This is why I hate NASA, right, So you're right.
Turns out that the moon is moving away from Earth
at three point eight two centimeters a year, So every
year the Earth moves a little bit farther three point
almost four centimeters, which means, guys, I don't want you
(32:33):
to panic, but eventually it'll result in Earth days now
lasting twenty five hours in about two hundred million years.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Why is this news? I just love.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I love that somebody is getting paid to discuss. God,
figure that out.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Two hundred million years, two hundred million years.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Like the first of all, we've all seen the effects
of climate change in the last ten years. Yeah, we're
not lasting two hundred million years. The moon can go
wherever once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta be cut like
come on, come on.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I do.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I do find it funny that, like you know, uh,
certain restrictions that Paris and in London have already and
like America is like we're not doing that. Like, but
I did hate those paper cups, man, they were disgusting
drinking any type of cold beverage out of the paper cup.
It should be banned regardless, like it should be a
(33:35):
plastic or like a reusable cup should never be a
paper cup. Like iced coffee and a paper cup. It's disgusting,
like it. It's absolutely the worst thing you could ever eat,
and especially a paper straw.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
So it's just all paper straw, gross.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
And and there even their paper cups aren't like their
their paper they're not like enameled like.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Then on the side.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, because so it was pretty disgusting.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
But I tell you, man, trying to clean up and
go green and all that. Like if you want to
sell me a reusable cup or something, I get it,
but don't come on, don't if we don't give me
that actually, and I also we were talking about this
last week with my family because an.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Article popped up.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Only like nine percent of the stuff you recycle or
put in the recycling bin.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh, we send it to China.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Actually like gets recycled. Everything else just ends up in
a landfill.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, and then the other thing is too, like they
still filter out your trash too, to see if they
could recycle stuff, which makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
At the bar.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
They actually threatened because like we weren't separating the stuff properly,
and the company that takes away the trash and the
recycling actually threatened us with fines until we sent them
CCTV footage of the one truck that they send picking
up for both dumpsters, dumping the true and the recycling
in the back of the same ting. Like it's weird
(35:03):
because you charge us for the two dumpsters and you
say you're gonna find us for not separating, but you
put this in the same spot that you mean to
tell me you separate it all when you get back
get out of here. Yeah, so it's so sonny, like
nine percent, why do I have to separate everything if
only nine percent of it's actually getting d And.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Then there's like other people that are like, you know,
you can't put a bag, don't put the bag in
there or whatever because it messes up the recycling machine
batty here.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's a plastic bag, right, recyclists.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah, they're like it messes up for our machine and.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
NASA and recycling or two beefs that I just keep
crowing and crowing.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Guys, stay with us. We got to take a quick break.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Somebody did a stupid survey of the ten best fast
food chains in America, and Mike and I are going
to hash it out because I strongly disagree. I don't
really know how you feel about it. You just sent it,
and I told you I can't wait to cover it.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
So stay with us. You'll hear all about the Live
Fox Sports, the Gambler.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
The Gambling Philly for all things sports gambling. You're listening
to the Divide right here on the Gambler.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Divide, Live Fox Sports, The Gambler.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Before we get into this fast food breakdown, we were
just talking in the break you were saying, because there
was that rumor that with all these hold ups for
the Sixers new stadium, even with the owners front and
the billion dollar investment down in Center City, there was
still a chance or something came out to where they
could possibly move to Camden in New Jersey, which would
(36:29):
be hysterical, and that would then make the third team
that plays in New Jersey that considers themselves from a
different city, a different city. And I told you that
it was just I think it was on barstool. Aaron
Rodgers was doing an interview and basically said like, yeah, no,
there the Jets and Giants, that they should be the
New Jersey Jets and Giants. That's where they play, that's
(36:50):
where they're from. And Aaron Rodgers himself said, there's not
one person on the Jets roster that lives in New York.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, and I get that, but he's he doesn't understand
this area, so he shouldn't have an opinion just because
you played for one down in this city. You don't
get to say what what it should be labeled. Like
I understand, like the Jets have high hopes for you,
but try to convince that fan base to not call
themselves the New York Jets. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
It's just a dumb question, it is.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
It's a stupid what a terrible journalist like you can
ask Aaron Rodgers anything. Aaron, you know you're playing New Jersey,
do you think they should be called the Jersey Like?
He doesn't care what the team is called. They're paying
him millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
That move was so trash though, because one it is
I think on a landfill like it feels like it is.
It's like on swamp land. The Eagles fans call it
the swamp, you know, in the metal lands. So the
two was like it could have it could have had
every team right there, could add every team right there.
It could have been really cool complex that mall took
forever to open. Now I don't even want to go
(37:57):
because it just doesn't. It's not appetizing anymore. Like everything
they tried to do in that area just fell through. Right.
You had for a little bit, the Nets were around
there right with their arena and.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Was around there. That's and the Devils would play at
the Continental Arena.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah, but it.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Just wasn't and it's still not that accessible to mass transportation.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And it's funny and it's kind of fitting because the
man who moved the Devils out of that arena and
put him in Newark is now talking. He's the same
owner of the Sixers. So the Devil's owner is the
Sixers owner. And now he's going to do the same
thing he did in Newark to Camden. And you know, honestly,
that's where they get their money is property. So he
could build all around that stadium. He'll probably buy more
(38:44):
land than just the arena, you know, And I think
that's the same thing he's looking to do in Center City,
So this is a great position for him. But again
it breaks up the amazingness that is I want to
go to a Sixers game. Want to go to a
Flyers game. Maybe I'm not that interested, but the extra
kicker of knowing there's a casino that I could stop in,
or there's Expending Alive where we get a pregame drink,
(39:07):
you know, like it's appetizing to me.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
The best part about that complex in Philly. The best
thing you guys have Philly is the fact that first
of all, super easy to get in and out of them.
Like we've ubered there the last couple of times, but
even if we were driving, so it's super easily.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
The bridge.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
I've never a knock on wood here, but like, just
like we went to the Yankee game Saturday, just getting
out of the like on the Major d caon across
the bridge, Like, dude, it's an hour.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I've never waited longer.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Than like twenty minutes getting out of any any game
or event in Philly. And it's not like I'm not
leaving early to beat the traffic. I'm leaving with everybody else.
They just have it down to a science. Man, It's
just I don't know. They got the right setup, and
you have expanded. I think that helps when you have
a casino, you have expanded a live people are like,
I'm not a rushing out of here, and then people
just kind of slowly dip out.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
So then Wells Fargo announced they're not renewing their name
on the on the the arena as well, so that's
up in about a year. So it's not gonna be
called the Wells Fargo for the last five years that
the Sixers playing it, because the Sixers are there till
twenty thirty one. So that's crazy too, So what's it
going to be called now?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
So there's there's a lot of nonsense and I'm just like, man, this,
you know, they could have figured this out. I wish
the Sixers weren't moving out of that area, but it's
obvious that they might not only be moving out of
the area, they might be moving out.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Of the city. Yeah, get out of here, but.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
It would be a nice skyline to see from Camden.
So I'm like, no, I'm dead serious, like you would
see it for the skyline. Yea, it is nice, but
like you don't get that with the metal lands, Like
all you see is like.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Fog and marsh and power plants.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
And oil things and whatever. Gasoline is a terrible It's
a terrible area. So bad area, all right.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
So boardroom on Instagram, uh did a top fast food
chains top ten in America and Chick fil A was
number one for the last decade. Spoiler alert, They're no
longer number one. Here's the problem I have with this.
There are fast food chains in this top ten and
(41:14):
I'm sorry. This is according to USA Today. This is
a rank survey from USA Today. So Boardroom on Instagram
are is just reporting from what USA Today reported. There's
fast food establishments in this top ten mic that aren't
available yeah, in across the United States.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Like this is dumb. It is like there's one two
I don't know. It's Hardy's in New Jersey. Do we
have a Harty's?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Are they the same as no? I guess not. Well,
what is that other one where it's like dual like too,
I know Checkers Checkers of.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Hardy's is the same as I keep wanting to call,
like Jimmy John anyway. So with that being said, as
anybody knows if a Harty's in New Jersey or even Philly. Uh,
there's five five fast food chains on this list that
are not available in the state of New Jersey or
even I've never seen them in the Philadelphia area either.
(42:13):
So number one is Del Taco, which I've been to
Del Taco before. Okay, they're fantastic. Okay, they're not on
the east side of the Mississippi, right.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I saw one in LA and I thought it was
like a bootleg Taco Bell.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
It's like a fresher quote Taco Bell, which I don't know.
They're not bad, but so Del Taco's number one, So
stupid yous like this, This isn't the best fast food
chain in America. You can't find that across all fifty states.
Bro two is KFC.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
If this was nineteen ninety five, i'd agree with you, KFC.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
KFC has been downhill slope. Then you have Chick fil A,
which I still think is severely overrated. Right for their
number two or they their number three, Del Taco, KFC,
Chick fil A's crazy, and four is In and Out,
which we've been in and out.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I get it, they're good, but you can't find.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Them anywhere anywhere.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
This on the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
YO.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I had it with Timmy once I shared this story.
I'm eating the fries and on the bottom of the
fries it says this was made with sunflower oil, so
like yellow the whole I was like.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Mike is allergic the sunflower seeds, sunflower anything. So the
fact that he finished the fries read that he probably
immediately checked himself into the emergency room. So to give
you the list from one to ten, Del Taco, KFC,
Chick fil A, In and Out, Hearty's at five, Captain
D's at six, insert joke here, Captain D's at number six.
(43:42):
Don't even know what that is. I've never seen one
of those. Taco Bell is seven, Popeyes is eight.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Zach called my wife Captain D's. I'm going right out.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Oh man, it's a good thing she doesn't listen. Zaxby's,
I don't know what a Zaxby is. That's number nine,
and RB's is ten. McDonald's not on there, Burger King's
is not on there. UD like Aret like look, and
we're not saying these places are good for the record.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
What have you when was the last time you ated
any of these?
Speaker 2 (44:20):
None. Yeah, not in a long long time.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
And we're not super healthy people.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
But like, at the same time, like it's is not
a part of our life right now every now, like
for the last couple of years, with the exception.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
Of the last two.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
So let's just say Wendy's isn't on this Wendy's No.
So I used to once a year on my birthday.
I used to just order Taco Bell. Yeah, but I
haven't done that in like the last two years. And
that was always like, oh my treat, let me just
treat myself the diarrhea on the day after my birthday.
But no, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's are all not on there.
But you have something called Zaxby's and Captain D's, which
(44:55):
I've never It's not like I've ever driven past and
seen a sign for it.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
I just don't get, Like I don't get the obsession
with Chick fil A to begin with.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
It's okay, it's really not like have you ever been like, oh,
I hate too much at Chick fil A? Like and
it for fast food and good food. It's it's like
right in the middle the Nugs were amazing for a while,
but they've kind of fallen off like every other fist. Yeah,
I just I don't know, man, But what I do
know is, yeah, it's a very appetiting episode.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Yeah, this is uh giving me the runs.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Oh man, all right, I'm gonna reach out to Captain Deans.
Could get this.
Speaker 4 (45:41):

least a T shirt. Stay, have a good week watch
the Olympics. We'll be back next week with recap of
