Alexa play Fox Sports Radio The Gambler on iHeartRadio Immediate
win every time you always think Philly's new home for
Fox Sports Radio is the Gambler. The Gambler, Philly's home
for all things sports. Gambler. Welcome to the Divide with
Mike and Corey, two diehard baseball fans who don't agree
(00:24):
on anything. Which side will you choose? This is the Divide.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Mike, Hopefully our disagreements bring us all together.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
So stupid, so corny. I hope our disagreements bring us together.
Yeah I do.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
This is the Divide.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
And here we are Divide live on Fox Sports. The
Gambler one of two five Philly one on for one trend.
What are you laughing at?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
That was our old theme song, and I was so
worried that it's still had the curses in it.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Oh no, I thought we fixed that, like as soon
as we came over to Fox.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, I have the button still here, So I hit
the wrong button. Remember, I was like, Oh, they're on
the same column now, Yeah, so it's normally this.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Welcome to the Divide, right. Well, I know you went
back to the old one, but I thought as soon
as we made the switch basically deleted the other. Yeah. Probably,
I guess maybe radio edited radio edited by the way
before since I already cut you off.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Uh did you see the some Shady Eminem YouTube thing
where they're like, yeah, it's kind of like they're sitting
like this, but it's like the old some shady and
Eminem now oh god.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
He's like yeah, He's like why if you're the new Meg,
why are you so old? And like, so I will
say that, Uh, Eminem's pretty funny as far as like
an actor slash, you know, satire type individual.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I think with the one remember the one concert we
went to he had like an opening thing with him
and Rihanna was pretty funny. Yeah, yeah, I would watch it.
I'm so out of touch with like everything really, like
when it comes to new newer music, Like I haven't
listened to his new album or anything, like.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, Whodini's awesome. You've heard that song?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, yeah, it's all right, it's corny, But the rest
of his stuff like that gets like a lot of listens,
like we're always that kind of tune. I know, he
brought back a few things.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think he brings balance to the cancel culture, like
and I mean that in a nice way, because like
he was the original guy that they tried to cancel
and Elton John came out and the Grammys was like, hey,
he's an all right dude.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Some of the kids have no idea how bad his
lyrics really were.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, well, well he says that, like they discover some
shady on Monday, I get canceled on Tuesday, Like, and
you're a character cartman, Like he's trying to explain, like, no,
the reason why I created this identity was because it
was supposed to be art. It was supposed to be
a character, right, you know, so like in D twelve
talks about that too out. Yeah, but personality exactly with
(03:13):
all them and uh yeah, if you take his lyrics
for the Bible, then yeah, you have problem.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But I think it's weird that anybody that like listens
to any musician and takes it, like, come on, everybody
embellishes even me a break. They might have been like
influenced or something, but like, come on, that, don't take
everybody's word for it. Bon Jovi really wasn't living on
a prayer, Yeah, living on millions of dollars. Well, you
(03:43):
idiots that bought his album. Yeah, I just like.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Hopefully it happens a long time for now. But like
when he's like about to diet, like, are people going
to make that living on the prayer joke?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Oh god, of course they're, of course they are. Bon
Joby's in critical condition.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh my god, he's living on a prayer.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You know what's gonna happen. It's like when Ed Sheering
go into that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I was just thinking that, like that was the best
group text ever. Like I'm we're on a group text,
and I think I wrote, like, damn, a Cheron just
Brosed broke his legs on a bike, like he like
a car.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Hit him while he was riding a bike. I think
all you said, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And you're like, damn, I hope his legs work like
they used to move on.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's just too easy.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It was, but and it shows how much you actually
listen to Ed every single radio show felt like such
a and this is not a uh endorsement. It should be.
But he's got his own like spicy sauce or whatever,
Teddy Tingles. And I say that again, but slower you
say Teddy Tingles. Yeah, it's like a tingle to it. Yeah,
(04:52):
it's like Teddy sauce. It's yeah, it's got like a mascot.
He's a giant angry Teddy bear.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But anyway, my wife for Christmas like spent like fifty
bucks to get it, like imported to the US. Peyton
bought it yesterday. She's like, daddy was four bucks. We
got it for your birthday.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm all for like when famous people want to do
like passion projects. Mm hmm. I just think it's weird.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He had to deal with Hines, and I think he
was like, yo, dude, like let me get in the lab.
So problem it is, yeah, and that's a struggle. I
was like, dude, I could send this to the moon,
like we're trying with that kin of candy and all
these other people. And his team was like, oh, it's
actually a Heinz deal. And I was like, domn you.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Dom you.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Heines Corporate Delicious Ketchup. Heines ketchup is still the best ketchup.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't know that was a good thumbs up. I
don't know, like if I've ever had the chance to
buy another type of ketchup, I feel.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Like, oh, but when you have it, like it's not good,
like and I know definitely.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Tell the difference, like when you go to a restaurant,
like we make our own sauces.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Or they take the Hinds bottle like apparently like if
you buy the glass bottle, you can refill it for
X amount of times. But if you notice, like if
they have like a Hinds ketchup bottle that seems like
it's a little bit worn for were it's because they're
not using Hines anymore, but they're still refilling the bottles
and they refill it like a soda, like like you
(06:28):
would refill glass.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Where do you where do you get the.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Jerseyed Hunters baby?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Also like a I'm a ketchup guy, Hunts is trash
six flags. When we work there, they like mid change
their ketchup to the point where I just started using
honey mustard because there's still Hindes honey mustard. Yeah, and
there's been times where I've brought my own ketchup to
places because I know they ketchups trash. So no, yeah,
(06:55):
like that tomato one, like that basic one that's I've.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Heard the people bring in their own hot sauce because
I can understand being really particular about your hot sauce. Okay,
to be that particular about some catch up. I mean,
I agree with you. You have a choice. You gotta go Hines.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But yo, I've been trying, as a grown up too,
like to put hot sauce on my eggs. It's just
never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't know, it's a grown up thing. It's just
like a personal preference.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's not good. You'll try to know because and I tried,
because like everybody who seems to do it seems to
be like, I don't know, like thirty forty pounds less
than me. So I'm like, hey, like, maybe that's.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So hot sauce? Does uh speed up yours a little bit? Yeah,
it'll get you working and burn some calories. What kind
of hot sauce are you using?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I like Franks, So I put that on all right. Yeah,
A lot of people like that, the one that looks
like it has like a wooden bottom of.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Chilula Chilula. Yeah, I don't like that too much. My
favorite kind of buffalo is like a little bit mixed
with but I know that's bad for you.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well, that's I think actual buffalo sauce. Isn't that like
hot sauce. Isn't that like hot sauce mixed with like
blue cheese jesu range. Isn't that like an actual sauce? Maybe?
I don't know what are we even doing.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Kids.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We just got off on a tangent here. It's so ridiculous.
Let's get into baseball world or real quick for those
of you who have been listening for ten minutes wondering
what the heck we're doing. Man, what a week last week,
Like the Yankees couldn't get worse. We're back baby, sweeping
the best team in baseball Philly.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It was flute, I.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Will say so Monday's game, I don't know what happened, man,
The Yankees just turned it on fourteen to four. It
was great. Tuesday and Wednesday we're roller coasters. Tuesday we
came from behind, took the lead, gave up the lead,
took the lead again, tied it up extra innings, and
(09:00):
you were even saying, like you really hated that ghost
man on second situation.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh, it was so much. That was the first time
I was like, let's go, because like, even though you
gave up the run, you're like, oh, I'm still in it,
you know, And it was a seesaw battle. I enjoyed
it because, like I really didn't care. Actually, I was
rooting Yankees selfishly because it brings it closer.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And you're close in that gap. And Wednesday Day game
Yankees had to lead and tried to blow it, but
they were unsuccessful and blowing it, thank God. But I
don't understand why, why, for the love of God, this
all star Clay Holmes, Like why is boone still? And
I know we talked about it yesterday, but you just
(09:46):
you keep trusting this guy. These games actually matter. Like
you don't have the division, You're not a shoeing. This
isn't like it was ten years ago where you were
thirteen games ahead and you can play around a little bit.
Yeh lighter that you just picked up right that was
dealing the inning before, and you hear you go, you know,
extra innings, base hate. Clay Holmes comes in there. I
(10:07):
think he has yet to have us say this is
so terrible, because that's probably not true at all. Now
every time I watch I feel like anytime he comes
in the clothes, he at least gives up a base hit.
You're jaded because your entire childhood.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Get married, Rivera, so like you don't understand, like, actually,
how hard that roll? I do get it much.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I just feel like he blows more than he actually say.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And my dad felt that about John Franco, and John
Franco is a goat and should be in the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And dude, he's the best leftiest. I'm not groaning at
where you are. I'm groaning at me thinking Clay Holmes
could ever be Bud, could ever be in the Hall
of Fame. He's just he sucks. He's so bad. Yeah,
I get it anyway, But anyway, get three games, get
the brooms out, a little bit of sweep, like you said,
(10:57):
close the gap for your Mets.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, because like every year we have to face you guys,
because it's a cash cow, right correct, So like the
years that the Phillies get to face you, like they
get to experience what we get to do every year
with you, whether it's four games or six games. This
year was six and we won all six the Mets.
And I say we now because I don't know if
you notice first time all. Yeah, I'm wearing a Mets jersey,
but you know, so if they turn it down, it's
(11:22):
on me.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
But look it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Honestly, this is the best scenario ever with such a
you know, with a whole season going on, because the
Mets swept the Yankees all six games for all four
Sorry it was a four game year. Yeah, you played
them three, so we're plus a ton of games.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
My bad.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But yeah, no, but there's years where we play you six, correct,
and they don't even play you. And that's terrible because
you know, and I know that it's come down to
the last game of the season a ton of times
in my history as.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
An ear league play just for basically it's a cash grab.
It's proximity. I mean, it's it is. You're easily two
of these. And I understand that there's a lot of
Major League stadiums that are dependent on your mass transportation,
but these are two of the top stadiums in Major
League that are just dependent on these trains going in
and out. And it's easy to hop a train from
(12:16):
Queens to the Bronx and vice versa, and they fill
the stadium.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
But Yankee fans love to talk about the World Series droughts,
like we haven't won one since twenty nineteen, and like
before that, it was still blah blah, blah, this year
or whatever whatever was two thousand and nine, sorry two
thousand and nine. But you're always in the playoffs. You
always are contender. You legit missed the playoffs like one
year in the last like twenty five to thirty years. Maybe, yeah, one,
(12:42):
just one wasn't more than one and it cost a
No dude, you guys fire managers that don't get past
the alcs.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well not not true. Boots still there.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, well yeah, because you guys got rid of Girardi
and his clipboard, which, by the way, like house. I'm sorry,
and I get it, but poor Joe having to sit
there on Amazon and and then again on the guest network,
you know, doing these games or me two teams.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah, Micha's okay, And.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I honestly I switched over the Met game before the
game was over. The Mets were up like fifteen to
one at the time, to see if it was Toddy
Todd Frasier like in the booth, that would have been great.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I understand why they did it, used to manage both clubhouses.
I mean, he did have some good insight as far
as you.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Know, did you see our boy Craig Cartin, No, he's
doing WFAM when Susan Walllman.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Like, oh I saw the other job.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah yeah, he's calling a few few of them. They've
been alternating guests with her all year, and Craig Carton's going.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh my god, it's quite He didn't get on yet though,
not yet, I hope not. I yeah, I'm sure we'll
hear all about it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, yeah, I saw that he signed and he got
the job, and.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I think it's this month.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
God, what a combination. If you would have asked me
three years ago, Craig, can.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We just also like come back to radio, dude, I
don't care, like it's it's so hard without him, like
it really is. And I'm trying to give everybody else
in that New York sports world a shot, no pun
intended shout outs to give us a shot network, But
Craigie is the man.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Absolutely, people can hate him.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's the man.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Sorry, Philly, just forget it. Forget it. We got Michael
Kay on the radio trying to get a viewership and
he can't even do that. Oh my god. All right, Phillies,
you should have nothing to worry about. You were tied
with wins with the Yankees and the Orioles as of
right now, Phillies, you guys go to the West coast
starting Tonight's Yankees have the last place blue Jays in
(14:55):
the Al East. Who the Mets have.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
We're playing the Angels. So the Mets are playing the Angels.
And at first I read it like, oh, the Mets
are head at l A. I was like, yeah, god no,
and they're like relaxed as the Angels. I was like,
all right, all right, I'll take that. I'll take that.
Like I'm not I'm not too mad about it.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You know what's wild mane Like the Dodgers are are
doing well, but they don't strike me as this quiet house.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah quiet, it's quiet when they show up, it's quiet.
Uh no, yeah, and it's kind of scary. They made
some moves, you know, during the trade deadline that definitely
helps their team. Uh but yeah, you're right. It's it's
like kind of you know what it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Is, because they can never it's never a few in
a row. It's like you'll one lose one. When one
lose one, dude, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Kind of like of course they won, like you know
what I mean. So you're not like it's like, hey,
in today's news, like I know the water is wet.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Oh my god, real quick. So I don't know if
you do this, but the six one one podcast just
debuted last week. This is the uh Rowlands and Howard podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I did see this.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They they just rolled it out for lins.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So like when we're talking earlier in the week, you
called Lighter litter or something leader. I didn't correct you,
but I was, so I was gonna say Lighter's name
before you had a shot to say it, to try
to let you know is Al Lighter's nephew.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Dude. I'm just telling you, like, I like, I either
see these names or I just think them, and for
some reason, I'm just like just blurred out. Becoming my
father is what I'm becoming, dude.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
When I was doing Powers parlays with Chanson, like half
the conversation we would have during commercial breaks is like
he's great at pronouncing names. I'm terrible. So I'd be like, yo,
how do he pronounce his name? And then also like
even with Jazz Chisholm, it's so a lot of people
would call me when they found out my middle name
was Charles, it would call me Chaz. So like my
(17:04):
brain the dyslexia of my brain keeps wanting to call
him chazz Jism, and that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That's fantastic. I want to call that just as a joke.
Can you imagine? No, you have to make it if
your name growing up is chazz Jism. Yeah, you have
to make it a major league. There's no choice. You
have to become a professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
The the other thing is too Like my neighbor today
was ago. My daughter wants to know if this is
Peyton's uncle and send a picture of Austin Powers. I
was like, do you know how much that ruined my name?
And then Kenny Powers came back and resurrected and put
respect back on my name.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
What a stupid joke.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
First of all, everybody makes that joke.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
But I was your brother, Austin twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Still do yeah, Like it happens a lot, and it's
such a sexy name, ladies, if you want it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I don't know. I have a nephew or something. He's
getting married next week.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Sorry, Oh he's not married yet, not yet, he ain't dead.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, all right. Listen Real Quick six one one podcast
Rollins and Howard. They sat down with C. C. Sabbathia
and he talks about the cheese steaks in the visiting clubhouse.
Did you did you hear this?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
So, for those who don't know, CC didn't always pitch
for the Yankees. He used to pitch for the Brewers.
In that particular year in two thousand and eight, when
Philly won it all, they played them. I think it
was an NL Championship series. And you know, the Phillies
were good. Let's give him credit. But CC blames as
well as them being good, he blames the cheese steaks
(18:45):
because he said, him, Prince Fielder Corey Hart were all
super super excited to get to Philly. They had these
cheese steaks, he said, The three of them ate twenty
eight cheese steaks. Yeah, in three days, which I don't.
I didn't even do the math here. I could probably
do it in my head if actually was smart.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But when I was working for a New York's, three
cheese steaks a day easily per person and there, and
they were stupid good. They say, like rollin straight up
set it's the best in Philly, the best cheesteak in Philly,
and that they can't get him in the home side
of the clubhouse because they just sit in your stomach.
So whoever's managing doesn't want doesn't basically want for team
(19:25):
eating it to the point where the next year two
thousand and nine, when the Yankees won it and they
were back in Philly.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Joe torri H took him out of the clubhouse. Wow,
like banded cheese steaks in the Philly knowing what it
does these players.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
What I will share is when I worked for a
New York based company, they constantly would come to Philly
and they're like, oh my god, it what's your best
cheese steak? Like to the point where like I started
telling them where it was and they're like, I come
with me, and I was like, dude, I don't need them, like.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Because it just tears your body up. Oh destroys.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, you can't share one. That's weird, like you know,
and like you gotta eat the whole thing. And it's
just they're delicious.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
But geez, Sharon cheese steaks.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Sharon is Karen the world? Do we live sharing his Karen?
Speaker 3 (20:08):

Like why.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Do you care? I was like, yeah, that's fair. I
hate that response.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, but yeah, I watched soccer. I watched Lebron just
tear it up on the court. Yeah, you know, so
I've watched some some but not enough.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I want to go back to that response. I hate
that person who said that. I tell me who said
that right now. So here's the thing, like, yeah, okay,
it might be live to me, but if it's something
that already happened, and I'm not that interested, I'm just
gonna google a results. I want to watch something that's
happening now. I don't want to watch something. If I
(21:49):
want to watch a rerun, I'll turn on a TV
show or a movie. Dude, I don't want to watch
a sporting event that already happened.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I did see the swimmers took to the water today
and it looked exactly how I described it, like a
used toilet bowl out of a gas station. Yeah, there's
no way some of those dudes aren't coming back with
some serious design out.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
A lot of people are just straight up trashing these
Paris Olympic Games. I don't know. I don't want to
get political because I don't even know what it is.
There's a whole bunch of people posted on Facebook that
apparent did they mock some sort of religion in the
Ocean opening ceremony.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't know someone.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Basically all these boomers are like, I'm protesting because they
mocked my religion. I didn't watch the whole thing, but
I can't imagine they there's the Olympics. How what bad
thing could they have done that?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It's notice everybody off, yeah, exactly, And it's not our
country that decides.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And that's the thing too. Everybody's like, for some reason
things in the United States is in charge of the
Olympic Committee.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's wild because we think we're in charge of the
world kind of yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
But I'm just like, oh my god, did you.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
See the way they plan on ending the Olympics. No,
Tom Cruise no like yeah, no, yes.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes, Tom Cruise from Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise, Like mission.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Impossible, Tom Cruise.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
What is he like do? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He's gonna like get shot out of a cannon and
then land in Hollywood somewhere, because then those are l Yeah,
so you're gonna see him like going up a tower
and jumping off and then he lands and like you're
getting into a plane and then they already pre recorded
him jumping out of the plane and landing in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
The opening and closing ceremony of the Olympics are like
the All Star Games and every professional sport like nobody cares,
Like the good stuff is over. You got to see
your athletes, or for us in America, you got to
see everybody care about things they don't care about for
another four years swimming, gymnastics, like nobody cares about that
(23:54):
stuff until basketball will watch However, you know every single
year golf was on today.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I will say, my my daughter follows someone Biles like
throughout like everything, so she'll watch like old Olympics of her,
but she's also playing the sport, so it's like, you know,
and she did her famous female report on.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, I think if you're playing or participating in a
specific event, but like the average person out at a
bar that's cheering on you know, Katie Ldeski or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
An you play volleyball and you coach it too, right,
so you watched all the volleybood, especially women's volleyball.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I watched for the sports you see the camera guy?
Is that real?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Is that real?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I have no idea, You have no idea. I have
no idea. If they should I can't. I'm not. I'm
not the gatekeeper to the internet. Bro, I don't know
if it's real or not. I wasn't there. I'm not
the cameraman. Don't accuse me of being.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
The camera because I feel like, for women's rights and stuff,
I felt like that cameraman was worse than any other
thing I saw.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I mean, everybody's free to to choose their own athletic
it's higher in these games as long as it is.
It's whatever. But I do find their own four K camera.
That's I just find it a little weird that some
of these volleyball players not in the United States. You know,
I watch is gonna be like, let's go to the cheeks. Seriously, man,
(25:17):
some of like, how is that even comfortable? I'm not
even trying to be weird, but you got your your
bottoms up your butt trying to play in the sand.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Come on, a lot of women do that on the
beach now too, though.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, if you're sunbathing for tanlines, no, I'm dragging your randomly.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Like I'm dude. I've been on the beach a lot
more this year because I don't have to work Humble retail.
Uh So, this guy's been at the beach, yeah, like twice,
like and I hated every moment of it. Uh, you know,
freaking I don't know, man, I hate the beach. Don't
get me started. You go in the water, then get
in the sand, like you congrats. You just flayed your
(25:53):
feet like it's like chicken parm, Like that's how you
make chicken parm, Like you put in the egg, then
the bat oil and the oil it's the sun tan
and then you get burned. Like I'm like great, Like
I just breaded my own feet, Like it's the worst
idea ever.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
A pool that's.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Cool, high end pool where I could swim up, get
a drink even cooler. The beach is trash, like literally trash,
especially in Jersey because we don't clean it. We like
have seven year old kids come out and say it's
a girl Scouts cleaner beach once a year, Like it's
messed up.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
That's child labor, Like, screw the beach. I will say,
I don't understand. I first of all, I strongly disagree. Yeah,
I know you thoroughly enjoy the beach, but I don't
see your credit. I don't understand the infatuation with the
popular Jersey beaches. I'm not gonna say the entire Jersey
(26:45):
Shore because there are definitely some hidden gems that are
in this crowded that you don't see on TV, that
are fantastic beaches to be at. But I don't understand
when people are like, you have this, especially in where
we live. You can choose to go to I'm not
lying here forty different beaches. Yeah, and it's like, where'd
you go? Oh, we went to Point Sided Jenks what
(27:06):
or like we went to Seaside and se here like
why even Asbury, like go to a different, a better
beach than the one that everybody else goes to. I
don't understand the infactuation with that, but that's just.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Me what I like, and we experienced it in the
fall in Canada. Is like standing on a rock and
watching the waves like crash in but it's like forty
degrees to sixty degrees out.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I love that. I think that's the coolest thing you
could ever do. Only you would say that you love
the beach when it's called when it's less than so
much cooler, so much cooler. It is cooler in temperature literally,
but cooler speaking of the beach. So I've watched a
little bit of Olympics myself. I have watched volleyball, I watched
the field hockey. I watch a little bit of basketball.
(27:53):
I watched some archery that's wild. Archery is insane. The
shooting okay, like whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You see the one dude that yeah, just straight pistol.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
They asked him, they were like, you didn't use any stuff,
You're just He said, I'm a natural. I'm a natural shooter,
which is just a cold blooded quotes.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I'm gonna start saying that because a lot of people
on the golf course like mock me because I don't
wear glove.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Just be like, I'm a natural natural raw docket Christ.
I watched surfing incredibly boring. Yeah, because you expect them
to go out and catch like every wave.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, it's like soccer. You gotta wait for the goal.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Dude. I swear to God, like you know, there's a
good way I take. Where do you think the term
waiting came from? No, I get it, but I'm just
like you mean, like waiting in the wa Apparently there
was a a surfing judge that's in some hot water
that got removed because a picture surfaced on social media
(28:54):
of him posing with uh two Australian Olympic surfers.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You can't do that.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You can't do that, can't do that. Just because you're
all from Australia doesn't mean you can post a picture
because you're a judge.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Mate, So I can't swim. But I saw that meme
where it was like the easiest job in the world
is a lifeguard at the Olympics, Like, sign me up
for that. I want to be that guy, Like I'm
sorry Phelps gets a cramp, I'm like, sorry, dude, you're dead.
There is at least figure it out, aquaman, eight other
people that are a better swimmer than the like guard
lifeguard that can help out.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Fact, you know, it's just too much. Why can't the
Olympics be like two months long and spread out the
events like this week is field hockey, this week is
this and just rotate people in and out of the
Olympic village, Like why is that to be all at once? Guys?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Also like why aren't there like more local talents that
you hear about? What do you mean, like, is there
anybody from Jersey that's in in the Olympics, And why
aren't we celebrating that there is well, then shame on
us for not celebrating.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I don't know their names. I think the gymnast was
from Jersey.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's not the shooter.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's not the shooter. I also, I mean, I know,
I understand why the Olympics travels. Obviously a lot of
these cities make a good amount of money off of
these games, tourism and whatnot. But also there's been some
problems in Paris for the people that don't want all
the tourists, and they'll do stupid things like try to
(30:29):
cause chaos and shut down trains and all that other stuff,
which leads me to ask if the people that live
in these places don't want the games to come a
lot of times in these poorer cities, the Olympic Games come,
they set up and everything gets abandoned anywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Like why not just find some land somewhere build these
complexes that you use? I agree, I agree with. There's
no home field advantage, there's no you could just travel there,
like seriously, it doesn't have to be grease, but like
why find some real estate man put it to good use.
That's like the legit I know. Paris. The whole thing
(31:04):
is like going green and trying to be good for
the environment. You're building these huge structures. Oh it looks
for three weeks of people to compete in and then
that's it, and then you're ghosting. That's not going green.
If you were to legit, build a compound that you
can maintain and keep up with, and you can charge
people to come and honestly they other teams can play
(31:25):
in the you know what I mean, Like you can
come play in the Olympic village and you can maintain
it and use it for years and years and years.
That's to me, that's green.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I will say it was cool like standing on top
of the Eiffel Tower a month before the Olympics trying
to figure out what structures we're gonna be what, and
then googling it like it made the Eiffel Tower experience,
like al those even more fun.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I believe it. So we're like, oh, that's where volleyball
will be, that's where this volleyball's got a prime location.
Yeah yeah, yeah, right in front of it. But like
the turf fields where they're playing like rugby and field
hockey stuff is like all the way on the outskirts
of the city.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
It's not. Yeah, it's not parents, Like yeah, no, And
like there was a lot of we were watching BBC
on the TV and they were complaining about a lot
of that going.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
But you get that in every Olympic village, like even
when it was in Spain, you know, like it's literally
close to the outskirts of Barcelona, like where their whole
thing was, Like it's just that they're not you go
to these compact CITs. You guys really think they're gonna
you're gonna field everything in La.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Also, I'd love to spread it out, like so soccer
is known in England, it's known in Germany, Like pick
them to do the soccer right, pick us to.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Saying in your perfect China basketball and your perfect Olympic
situation should be global. It would be you're competing for
a metal in a place that either like the sport
is big or invented the sport or what Like they'd
go to Ireland to play.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Golf, yeah, or Scotland, Yeah, Scotland, any of them, Yeah,
any any country that's obviously trying to connect with the
sport even more. Right, So, like I'd give America a
nod once in a while for soccer because we are trying,
you know, like it's like it's not like we're not
building arenas for soccer teams, right, so eventually it would
(33:15):
be here and it would be cool. But like, yeah,
to just invest in one country and the country still
take the money. So it just goes to show how
individual greed could offset what's great for the big picture, because,
like you said, these Olympic arenas end up becoming you know,
just run down.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Facilities and they just awful.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
And it's funny that the beds are made out of cardboard,
but like, why not the arena.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You know, like why not just make it all recyclable.
Don't worry. Every single mattress that you would normally sleep
on can be recycled. But this huge structure that we
set up in front of the Eiffel Tower, we're not
gonna recycle any of that. I mean, they're definitely not
gonna leave it there. But help me, Tom, Cruise, help
me Tom. We gotta take a quick break. Guys. When
we come back, we're gonna talk about the important issues here,
(34:05):
like hot dog prices, if you're getting out of control,
stupid inflation, hang with us. Will be right back to
vide live on Fox Sports, The Gambler.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
The Gambling Philly's home for all things sports gambling. You're
listening to the Divide right here on The Gambler.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
And we're back Fox Sports The Gambler. A lot happened
in pulp pulp culture, pulp culture, pope culture, brought to
you by Orange Uh Pop Culture this week. First of all,
the Deadpool movie came out last week. Fantastic, amazing. By far,
the best movie was no spoilers. We're not gonna give
(34:45):
you any spoilers. We understand some people have lives and
it's hard to go see it. Some people weren't nerds
and saw it in like the first two days, like
Mike and I. However, goddamn you now. Having said all that,
it was, it was very entertaining. Yes, the plot was
kind of like if you just if you dissect it,
we don't want to say anything. We're not gonna try
(35:05):
to ruin it, but like, you know what, because there's
always that build up and you get that, like yeah,
but I feel like we never got that.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
I get that. But like I hate some of the
avengered movies where they're just like it's day at the office,
Like let's say office day, and they're like sitting around
the office like just plotting. There was none of that.
It was so NonStop as.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
You know, there's so many Easter eggs. Yeah that you
watch that three or four more times. It reminds me
of Van Wilder old school of the movie where it's rewatchable,
Like you could definitely put that on it.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Because there were so many jokes in the music, like
you just yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
The music were bangers. It was really uh, you know,
a good It wasn't Deadpool joining Disney. It was Deadpool
and the Fox family saying goodbye to the world. So
it was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I really thought it was very, very thoughtful. Yeah, no,
it was untouching. Ryan and Sean Levy killed it. They
did a great job. Now, the very next day was
Comic Con in San Diego, where Marvel always releases its
you know, big projects and these sneak peaks, like they
gave a sneak peak of the new Captain America movie.
The Fantastic Four got a little preview along with who
(36:19):
will be playing Doctor Doom, and these nerds, I'd say
half of them went crazy. The other half hated it
because apparently Robert Downey Junior has been brought back to
play Doctor Doom. Now, I think I know your take.
You think it's stupid.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
No, why what do you think?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I don't know. Your face is telling me that you
think it's stupid.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Your face is shu. I'm just looking at you like, man,
is that a stupid person? I don't think it's stupid.
I just think that go ahead it.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
It's not stupid until it's proven stupid.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Right.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
We live in a free society here. This is a
due process. I think you have the Russo brothers back.
They did all the Avenger movies and whatnot. Think with Marvel,
it's never what it seems to be in the first place.
So before everybody loses their minds, there is a storyline
to where Doctor Doom and Iron Man switch bodies, So
(37:13):
there's that. There's just a lot of things they can do.
There's a lot of in the Marvel universe. Marvel Universe
Worst Stroke, there's a lot in the Marvel universe where
characters like Iron Man and Doctor Doom kind of meet up.
(37:34):
So there's a million things they can do with it. Plus,
one of the coolest parts about where the Marvel Universe
is right now is like time does not matter these characters.
And it's just like the comic books. In these comic books,
characters would die in the very next issue, they'd be back.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, you know, like I would like low Key in
the Infinity Stones out there just chilling in the office,
and he's like, oh my god, Yeah, they're pointless. They
don't really mean anything. Yeah, exactly mean everything to your universe.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
So there's a lot of people that are sounded off,
that absolutely hate the whole What are they doing? Jr?
Like whatever, And it's just it's funny. My one buddy
I texted h the news to and he's like, I
hate it and uh he he also saw Deadpool and
Wolverine and he's like, just do understand he's supposed to
be dead. I'm like, you literally watched a movie where yeah,
(38:27):
and he's just like you put no little la, just like.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Come on, and they explained like how the character you
saw die was still.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Dead exactly, so exactly, and that's gonna happen probably a
million more times until they stopped making money, which will
be never never. Man, just be happy. I like, I
like Robert Dorn JUNR Man, he can watch him too.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, I thought that was out of all the the
actors that they could have canned, like losing him and
then like an hour, like ten minutes later, like you
get Captain America as an old man, and I was like, yo,
you just took out to MJ and Lebron in the
same bread.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
But that was their story arc. They just you know,
actors are when actors take on these roles, like they're
very protective on how it ends up if they have
a say to it. So they both were like, you know,
this is the conclusion. It's a good time to walk on.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, but much like Captain America, you have to keep
the hero going. And like so Iron Man, Iron Lady,
whatever you want to bring back, like you gotta give
me sell me. I need somebody.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
I need a man in a robot suit asap. But
I it's someone iron please. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
So you know, and it's kind of cool because like
so if you're saying they go with the theory that
they switch bodies, then you could get a new Iron
Man with a German accent or vibron Victor von Doom.
So I think that French.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
I think that Downy Junior is playing Doom for part
of whatever project he is I think there's somebody else
cast that's really going to be the doom.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
All these nerds are ready. So you see the green
and then did you notice what the next the Secret Wars?
Did you notice the colors screen? It's redd and yellow?
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Oh? Is it really?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
And what is redd and yellow?
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Iron man? Yeah? Or ketchup and mustard at that too?
Shout out times? Yeah, man, I don't know. Nothing is
ever what it seems with the whole Marvel thing. Let's
get into hot dogs. If you got yeah, hot dogs. Now,
we have conflicting reports here, but we do have two
reports of the most expensive and least expensive hot dogs
(40:29):
in stadiums across Major League Baseball. Now, according to Boardroom,
the most expensive hot dog is the Oakland A's at
eight dollars and thirty nine cents. This is a regular
size hot dog, guys. This isn't anything crazy. This isn't
like a foot long or like something stuffed with something.
This is just a normal hot dog. Average price seems
(40:51):
to be somewhere between six and seven bucks for the
bulk of the bell curve here, but all the way
to the top eight dollars and thirty nine cents. Could
you imagine being an Oakland A's fan and having to
pay close to nine bucks more, then you're paying for
your tickets exactly exactly towards the bottom. You got the
Blue Jays, which doesn't count because they're in Canada. So
(41:12):
you're losing you You're you're losing the looney or the
tuny on that one with two dollars and fifty five cents,
I don't even if that's Canadian.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Probably the Canadian hot Oh god, as bad as their
bacon is, would you like Canadian bacon?
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Like, No, nobody wants that. Absolutely double it. But two
fifty five if you're paying less than three bucks, I mean,
come on, three book, Chuck, that's amazing. Yankees are somewhere
in the middle, about six and a quarter. Mets are
somewhere in the middle, about a little more than seven
and uh, Phillies, you Phillies at least for the boardroom
(41:45):
are five bucks. Someone can obvious someone listening can Philly
captain firm or deny, but then go ahead, Mike. No.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
What I will share is, if you have a child,
then you go to the kitty area of the Philadelphia Park.
You could get a two dollar dog at any time
at least you could last year.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
Haven't been there, man, This is what angers me. Is
like you got no life hacks. No, not even that.
Like if you're selling it for two bucks and it's
the normal size hot dog, like, just sell them across
the board.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Now, Now the dogs they sell for the grown ups
are foot longs. I think these are the I guess normal.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Could be guessing. Let's move on now. Game day, MLB
reported the most expensive and least expensive hot dogs, and
they have the Texas Rangers. I'm sorry, No, the San
Diego padres As having the most expensive hot dogs, and
the Oakland A's aren't even on this list, which is
(42:49):
out ragel. So I don't understand the contrast. Here. You
have closed over eight dollars for a hot dog and
now they're not even on this day.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Don't identify the Oakland A's as a major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
But then you got the Yankees at number two for
least expensive at three dollars. I was just that Yankee
game two weeks ago. I did not see a hot
dog for three dollars anywhere in that place.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
We got that one time, that teacher deal where we
literally got a free hot a hot dog and like
a twelve ounce beer, which I thought was weird. It
was weird because you're like, oh, cool, I get a
free beer.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
It's like, yeah, I'll have that.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
They're like no, no, no, here's a can from a.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Cooler pop side.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
It was.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
It was like a cup full of beer.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
It would be like the beer that somebody offers you
at a tailgate and you only drink it because it's
the only option.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
That was that beer. It's like when you go to
the dentist and they give you that little cup to
wrench your mouth out with. That's there. That was that beer.
Thanks for being a teacher. Here's your Enjoy the taste.
You don't want to drink too much. Educate children, here's
your beer. It's not at all You want to know. Duels, Yeah,
no duels right here, swear man. They're doing another teacher
night the Yankees are. It's got an email for that
(43:52):
sometime in September. Joy, remember the first three days you're
back at school and watch come to the Yankee Stadium.
We're doing like can the school started? Bro? I hate that. Man.
They teacher appreciation they're doing like spring around teacher Appreciation Week,
and now they're doing the like, dude, do something in
the summer.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
We're we're doing something fun. We got a bunch of
stuff still scheduled for the summer that we're gonna be
announcing and hopefully by next week. But I can announce
this Friday the thirteenth, Mets Phillies, And if you could
be with me, that'd be cool because I know you
missed last year. But all one to four point five
Fox Sports, the Gambler, and the Divide and friends will
be at Infinity Live that Friday the thirteenth, Mets Phillies. Uh,
(44:32):
you know, we're already coming up with great ideas with
the team over at cut dot com, Kutt dot com. Right, yeah,
do you remember the thirteenth of September? No, just kidding,
So Friday the thirteenth, which is sick. So I was
thinking about bringing the Mister met mask.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Out with us.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Oh yeah, with some Jason music. It's gonna be epic,
It's gonna be fun. I'm scared though now because like
the Phillies have that hostile fan, Yankees have some hostile fans.
You saw them. One lady grabbed a man's private parts,
the other one got knocked out. It's just been crazy
around the Yankees and Philly.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Why now it's it's been wild. But I will also
say that that might actually mean something. Everybody might be
on their best behavior because they might they might have
a game that it really means a lot. All right, guys,
uh tune in next week. We'll probably have more dumb
stuff to talk about. Hopefully stay well. This is Divide
Live on Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
The Gambler, oh who cares, spreads totals and all the
prop that's in between. It's the Gambler
