Welcome to the Divide with Mike andCorey, two diehard baseball fans who don't
agree on anything. Which side willyou choose? This is the with Mike
and Corey. Put your boy ToddFrazier. Hey, what'll help? This
is Cliff Floyd. You can't catchme on the Divide. You can catch
(00:21):
me on the Divide on Fox SportsThe Gambler. Hopefully our disagreement bring us
all together. So so Corny,I own our disagreement, bring up I
do Here we are Philly, Welcometo the Divide live on Fox Sports The
(00:44):
Gambler one of two five Philly onefour one and check us out on the
iHeartRadio app. And man, ohman, what do you want to get
to? First? Man, arewe doing Super Bowl uh fiasco? You
want to recap that? You wantto get into because there's been baseball news
this week. It's yeah, it'sall over the place. It's in crazy.
There's been some Vincic man w Wstuff, Horri flying, and it's
(01:08):
it's been a NHL All Star weekend. It's it's there's a lot. Man.
I feel like it was like nothing, nothing, nothing, and now
everything and then Elmo had the Gonadsjust checking in Elmo. We'll get to
that. Some of the replies areamazing. We should read them on air
(01:30):
your rundown. But yeah, it'sbeen a crazy week, you know.
I'm I just asked this question,and I know I might upset some of
our pop friends out there, butI'm hoping Taylor Swift does not make that
flight, like because she's in Japan. And then so here's the story,
everybody. So Taylor Swift is stilldoing the aerostour. I know this is
(01:51):
what you guys doing it for,but you're gonna get it. It's uh,
she's got a show in Japan.I guess it's the night before.
With the way time works and timedifference, it's actually two nights before.
Anyway, whatever the math works outto be right, she can literally leave
the concert, hop on her privatejet and land in Vegas the night before
(02:12):
the super Bowl. She can watchthe super Bowl and then she's got to
hop back on a flight. Ofcourse, that's what she's gonna do.
I mean, there's not a question. And I'm starting to change my Taylor
Swift heart because the more it mightbecome a song, I want her to
write a song about me. Ohmy god, the more I watch,
the more I realize, you knowwhat, stop hating Taylor Swift for this.
(02:35):
Everybody's so mad. It's not herfault. It's the greedy NFL's fault
for showing her every five seconds.It's no different she meets her man down
on the field after Now, don'tget me wrong, it's Travis Kelsey's fault
as well, just like the NFL. He's the one that made brought her
into this and made it as bigas it is. So you could be
mad at Travis, I wouldn't bemad at Taylor. I'm not mad at
Taylor anymore. She's not the oneworking the camera. She's going to support
(02:59):
her man. You know how manyNFL wives and girlfriends are at every single
game, all of them. Andyet just because this one happens to be
a famous, thirty something year oldbillionaire whatever, you know, she gets
her facial you know it's it usedto be Brittany Mahomes and Jackson Mahomes face
everything. Yeah, that's fair.Now it's Taylor. So I'd rather watch
Taylor than Jackson Mahomes. Oh.It's absolutely the right group to do it,
(03:23):
you know what I mean, theright fan base to do it in
because it was they were already annoying. But like, so like what sucks
was I think we were all asAmericans in agreement that they were annoying,
so you didn't have this outcry ofChiefs fans. We're all like, dude,
Mahomes is the goat, He's gonnabe He's the next Tom Brady.
Is on the same trajectory as TomBrady. And you're like, but I
(03:46):
can't stand his brother and his wife. That's a debate. I don't want
to get into the Mahomes tom Bradyyeah comparison, because I think he has
a long way to go. ButI agree it's it's, you know,
you gotta get proper to Andy Reidand all of this. As much as
people hate the Chiefs right now,just five years ago, everybody was loving
the Chiefs, so you're starting tohate them, but you got to thank
(04:09):
Andy Reid for that five super Bowlappearance or four super Bowl appearances in the
last five years. I mean,that's that coaching is everything, and I
think Jackson Mahomes has to thank AndyReid. I think Travis Kelse thanks and
Andy Reid. But yeah, no, I definitely think it's it's super annoying
because you're right, America hated theBrittany Jackson Mahomes duo together. But now
(04:32):
you have this new fan base thatthe NFL got just because of Taylor Swift.
And the annoying part is it's afan base that doesn't watch football.
So you know, yeah, itwas annoying when they went and played the
Jets and the stadium was half ofthem were swifty fans just trying to look
at her from one hundred yards away, which is just dumb. But we've
(04:54):
been through all that. Let's talkabout the game real quick. Let's talk
about Baltimore versus Case. Yeah didKansas did he win or did Baltimore lose?
I mean it requires both, right, you know what I mean?
Though, Yeah, I know Baltimoredefinitely they blew it. Yeah, they
blew it. I don't. Yougot one of the best mobile quarterbacks MVP
(05:15):
contention every year, especially this year, not using his legs. Yeah,
and it just it fired me upa little bit, maybe because I wanted
to see Baltimore win. But atthe same time, it's like, you
know, what are we doing?Kansas City is not It's hard to keep
saying a team's not that good ifthey keep winning, but every you know,
(05:36):
you know, you know they're not. What I do know is like
I said, you had it justfor me. It wasn't really the fact
that Casey outplayed Baltimore. It wasjust like from a betting standpoint, it
was everybody I knew was on Baltimoreand I was like, oh, so
much money. Uh oh, LikeI was like, oh no, to
(05:58):
the point where like you know,I I I was like, do I
do this? And I did itbecause LJ is that guy, like you
know, he me want me afantasy championship and nobody cares about And it
was just like, you know what, he's that guy. But yeah,
the Chiefs just they've been there beforetoo, so this is another day in
the office. Of course, youknow, like so that that that can
(06:18):
change. You know, you gottaget in like a lot of like we
saw it with the Giants when theybeat the Patriots. You know, you
gotta get in. So so theplayoffs are a crapshoot. It's a little
more predictable in the NFL than thanBaseball or something crazy like that. But
it's one game and you can winone game and the Chiefs tend to do
that, you know. So,I mean, think about the Super Bowl
(06:40):
last year, Chiefs Eagles, likeit, it felt like it it was
the Eagles all the way up towhat true? That's true? Yeah,
So I don't know. The Ninerswas a heartbreaker for the Lions because the
Lions came out it's killing it.It was just wrong. We're already being
like, oh my god, it'sgonna be Taylor Swift first eminem in the
Super Bowl. And I was likeI could stomach that. I could absolutely
(07:02):
stomach that, because like, thatwould have been a great game. Dude.
You would have had all these fortyplus your old men bleaching their air
and like bringing out the white Carl. Carl would have brought back k Oh
my god, I kind of wanthim to still do that. Yeah,
it would have been nuts. AndI was like, this is scripted,
(07:23):
this is insane. I don't thinkanybody was more angry at that than me,
first of all, because I betthe Lions and they blew such a
lead and uh, it almost didn'tcover for me. It didn't last minute
because I got that touchdown, thankgod. So I did win a little
bit of money, but I wasdoing from the start, because you had
(07:45):
mentioned in the via text message.I was amped up. I was mad
that Baltimore lost. And then westarted watching the Detroit game and we were
texting and Detroit scored that quick touchdown. Yeah, and you had mentioned that
your aunt's a Niners fan, andI don't know your answer. Oh yeah,
I made a terror comment about youraunt rooting, and then you told
me that she's no longer with us. Yeah, And then I felt terrible,
(08:05):
and then Germ doubled down and waslike, nah, I don't feel
bad. You didn't know, andyou know, if Germ agrees with me,
yeah, definitely something terrible. That'sexactly no. I I kind of
I knew in honor of my auntMary, because you would have get laughed
about that scenario. I kind ofbaited you for sure, like, you
know, my dad's a Bills fan. My aunt Mary was hardcore forty nine
(08:26):
ers. Was he really a Billsfan? Yeah, my dad was.
And I don't make stuff up likewell, you know the timing because you
were also like, hey, mydad after you told me that, Yeah,
yeah, yeah, my dad's aBills fan. You want to sustain
I thought you were goading me tosay something bad about him because Germ was
on the thread. So I thought, I literally thought you were goading me.
It's why, like I I rooton Alan and I feel for Germ
(08:48):
because the Billings he had no idea. Here, I am thinking, you're
just trying to be peaceful for German. I'm just trying to cause a ruckus
for that man all the time.And your dad's a bills face. Look
the more you know, how longare we even? You know Brooklyn,
I don't know that. I don'tknow that. But yeah, so yeah
man so and uh yeah, soCorey took the bait shout out to say
(09:09):
Mary RP. She was amazing,dude, she was such a great human
being. So I was really rootingfor the Niners again. It's second like
second time, right, so Ifeel like it's happened before with the Niners
and the Chiefs, right, Soyeah, I mean it's it's was was
that five years ago? Yes?So the crazy thing. Let's give our
(09:33):
predictions real quick. I mean,we'll be able to do this next week
too, when the dust settles alittle bit. But yeah, all I'll
say, just to cap off thiswhole Super Bowl What's what we're going to
get into is if San Fran comesout the same way they came out against
the Lines in the first half,and they go down against the Chiefs,
they're not coming They're never they're notgoing back. You can't one you pulled
something off like that and like youget away with it once. You can
(09:54):
never pull that off even in aregular season. Yeah, you know in
this kind of and and against theChiefs they are built and you got and
you look at like, I mean, you watch the game, right,
you look at the auk miraculous catchoff the helmet. Right if Dan Campbell
thinking he's got a set, beingstupid going for it when he should have
kicked the game tying field goal,you know what I mean? It was
(10:16):
it was a quick Honestly, itwas a what was it it was that
that a touchdown? And then wasit a quick turnover? I think it
was a quick turnover off of funballthey scored again, and just like that.
It was just you know, itwas a game. But I think
coaching coaching laws and night Dan Campbell. I mean, I I mentioned to
you guys in the group thread thatdude, no one should be nice to
(10:37):
that man. You know, likeI know, you brought you've you've had,
you had two seasons with the winningrecord, with the lines you're you
brought him out of just years ofbeing awful. You gave him an NFC
championship game. But you can't coachlike that, man, like you can't
be the guy that's not gonna kickit. You gotta be smart, like
you should be dragged through the citiesof Detroit. And there's praising him.
(11:00):
I agree, all right. Sofirst prop that of the Super Bowl,
and I don't think anybody's covered thisyet. How many times do the announcers
talk about the pandemic? Because thelast time the Chiefs and the Niners played
it was twenty twenty, and rightafter that Super Bowl, the whole world,
Oh god, sick. Oh what'sthe line? Five? How many
(11:26):
times they how many times they mentionedthat, they mention it, they hype
it up, or like while they'retalking about the matchup, or if they
bring up twenty twenty, do youthink they'll bring up the I think five
is a good number. Man.You got to think there's definitely one at
the beginning and one at the end, no matter, no ye, And
then three somewhere in between. Yeah, so I think that's fair. Yeah,
I'm going over on that. SoI'm saying it's going to be more
(11:50):
than five. But yeah, it'sit's crazy to think how long we've been
in this, right, So it'sbeen four five super Bowls, four years.
But yeah, and people are stillgetting sick, like it's just I
was on a phone with a clienttoday and they're like, yeah, I'm
not feeling great, and I waslike, oh, thank god, this
is virtual our prop bets. Man. Last year, I still like the
(12:13):
doink prock bet. I still likethe hit, the hit the field goal
post. I just do. Butit's in Vegas. It's in the dome,
so it's like, yeah, there'sless conditions, like it's less money,
you know. But I I don'tlike the octopus this year. Okay,
I don't. I could see that. Yeah, you're not going to
see those two quarterbacks. I mean, the homes has known been known to
(12:37):
kind of take it, but they'renot. You know, it's gonna be
very hard, but I can't wait. Man, next week we're gonna go
over all of our prop bets.Gator colors, like gatoray color. I
think it's gonna be purple. Thatpopped in my mind. It's gonna be
purple once she said that it wasa rematch of sorts that it just popped
in my head. I think it'sgonna be purple. I think it's gonna
be purple. I'm going like glacierlike that clear looking clear. Yeah.
(13:03):
Well, I remember last year itwas so hard, like the camera didn't
even show it. We had toget on Twitter to see what it was.
I can't wait, man, I'mgonna lose so much. Betty be
red, right, it's gotta bered. That's why I'm thinking outside the
box here. Man. They wantyou, the man wants you to think
that might need a colorful color,like you know what I mean, or
like yeah, so you're you're sayingpurple, I'm saying purple. It won't
(13:26):
be clear. Then it's gotta bered or red, orange, blue,
and then purple will be like ohyou see, like LJ was POSSI when
they switched the script because we're caughton like whatever you know my barber,
uh that came out of her mouth. She because you know, that whole
picture leaked of like the TV guidewith usher and riba and then this was
(13:50):
the Sandfron against the Baltimore Ravens,and like that clearly photoshop, like you
can do anything these days. Butshe let it fall. She said a
network. Yeah, she said somethingabout that, and I'm just kind of
like, guys, listen, Iknow, it's fun to think there's a
script. There's not a script.There's not a script. No, there
can't be. There's too many peopleinvolved. It's like landing on the moon,
(14:11):
like you had to have done itbecause it's just too many people that
you would have had to have hushedup. You know, we definitely didn't
learn on the moon. Don't dothat, man, don't do that.
Try to win a debate within thedebate. No. Yeah, it's it's
too funny to even think about it. But it's also like that's how the
algorithms have gotten Like, so technologyhas gotten so well today the first Madden
(14:35):
draw did you see that? Sothe Madden simulation they run it X amount
of times? Yeah, predicts aten to seven game. Oh right,
that's thanks, right, Niners winning. I mean I like that part,
but yeah, there's no way.Actually, I was so disheartened. I
gotta check to make sure it wasthe Niners winning because it is. We'll
(14:58):
just say yeah. Probably was likeonce I had the same feeling you did
ten seven or ten six. Itwas I was just like, are you
serious? So uh back to tofootball and Swift. So did you see
the clip of Taylor Swift yelling backat Baltimore Fans Chiefs win? Jeez,
it's even worse. You know,I can't keep doing every time a Super
(15:24):
Bowl happens, Mike, and we'redead set on a team winning or anything
like even the World Series and we'redead set on a team winning, they
never win. I think we shouldjust give it. Just root for the
Chiefs. Pride and luck guys.Yeah, exactly, root for the Chiefs,
Chiefs jerseys. Yeah, we're kindof cool with the Eagles winning.
(15:45):
I mean, we knew, weknew guys on the team. You know.
It helps the gambler, it helpsus. Brace was willing to go
out. We're gonna have him onlocation going through the streets. Yeah,
you know, and God told thema horseman or like the last time it
was all about it, he actuallysuggested it. It's like I haven't had
this much fun since January. Justkidding, my god, he's an awesome
(16:11):
human being. Of course he is. That's why we joked. I didn't
say the day in January. Ithink we all know. Yeah, yeah,
what were we talking? Oh TaylorSwift yelling back at Ravens fans.
Who cares? See, this isthe problem. This is why we can't
hate her. It's not her fault. This is this Why is this news?
(16:33):
And what she yelled back wasn't eventhat she was like, she yelled
anything crazy? Come on. Myfavorite was the poster of her looking back
like that meme. It was herlooking back at the other day. That
kid, that kid, that kid'sgoing places kid. Well, that's a
creative young, creative young man.Yeah, I love it. I love
it. I can't wait, man, I have, uh in my underwear
(16:55):
drawer, there's a stack of money, and I'm going to take that entire
stack of money in place super bullbets. I can't wait. I cannot
wait. This is this is mysuper Bowl, if you know what I
mean that? Uh yeah, man, I I had I'm scared because like
I did so well lad super Bowl. The whole town knows it. My
niece and nephew might not come onSunday because they're still scared good good,
(17:18):
But I yeah, I don't know. I gotta really I'm gonna study.
I'm gonna think about it, andlike you said, try not to overthink
it. I mean, last yearI got very lucky with the to hit
the post and the post not eventalking props. Yeahs are no, but
that's what hit. And when thosehit, all sins are forgiven for the
game. Just throw our inhibitions tothe win. Here, let's stay with
(17:41):
the Super Bowl topic here. Didyou see the clip of Tom Brady former
Super Bowl chair home five time,Super Bowl cham six time I think Super
Bowl champing. Uh. He wasat some convention. He was he was
the guest speaker and I guess hewas doing a Q and A and and
a rugby player was like, hey, can you throw me this football?
It was a dude. There hadto be at least three to four hundred
(18:02):
people in that room number one.So not only you guys gotta go watch
the clip. We'll post it onour socials. Tom Brady's on stage and
he throws this rocket with like nowarm up, just a rocket, and
it had to be at least aforty yard pass. I mean, it
was pretty far away. Crowded room, crowded room. I wasn't nervous for
(18:22):
Tom Brady making the pass as Iwas for the guy I was thinking that
too, but catch it. Ifhe misses that, Like, if that
goes through his hands, there's probablya poor woman or man sitting right at
that table. It would have gotobliterated, and the headline wouldn't have been
like quarterback still has it. Itwould have been like Tom Brady recklessly thrown
incinerates bystander. Yeah, recklessly throwsfootball into crowded room in hopes that an
(18:48):
ex rugby player would catch ball,Like you know, second former Patriot committed
murder when you sent it. That'swhat I thought. I was like,
Oh, he finally messed up inlife, you know because even like through
the divorced situation, like it wasbro he walked in the wrong house.
Yeah, and he's Tom Brady.People are like, no, it's your
house now, man, don't worryabout it. I don't hear take the
(19:08):
keys? What else you want todo? My wife's upstairs, like you
know what I mean? Like,I'm it's Tom Brady. You can't do
any wrong, toy, Like whatis it? Tom? Tom got drunk?
At his last Super Bowl party,and people weren't even mad that he
was, just like, ah,he just needs to let loose. He's
been eating almonds and drinking water forthe last twenty years of his life.
So Tom Brady finally pulled that Foxtrigger. So he's a Fox broadcaster.
(19:33):
Oh he did, he did,he did? All right? So yeah,
so that contract so we now knowlife after you know? All right,
p Greg Olsen, I don't knowwhat he's gonna be doing now,
dude. I like Greg Man.Listen, I do too. I'm just
teasing Greg tom uh. I knowTony Romo's not Fox, but like,
give me, give me more theman in cast. This is the future
(19:53):
of broadcast. That's fair. Ilike Chris collins were if you say Paul
McAfee, you say Chris Dollands shouldbe canceled. I've seen some weird oh
yeah, but I'm just saying,like, I know, Chris Collinsworth has
played the game before. You know, you know, you got Troy Aikman
has played. But Trey Aikman's notbad. The worst part about Trey Aikman
(20:15):
is with Troy you get Joe Buck. You know what I mean. Football,
Now, give me players other thanChris Collinsworth that know what they're talking
about, preferably a quarterback. Giveme a defensive guy, man, I'd
love to hear the defensive side ofthe ball and how they're what the read
is, how they're thinking me RichardSherman all day calling a game. Football
announcing used to be so much easiernow with ever since Tony Romo like kind
(20:37):
of just started telling you what theplay was gonna be as it was happening,
it's become a requirement where you needa guy who could read play calls.
It used to be like, youknow, you got guys like Tom
Brady. But even though like GregOlsen breaking down every single round. Yeah,
it's like unreal man football knowledge throughthe roof. Yeah, it's great.
I do it all day. It'slike he's a heck of a ballplayer.
(21:02):
Yeah, here's a guy that getout of here, bro break down
the play man. I don't wantto know his hobbies. Speaking of hobbies,
we gotta pay some bills, sowe gotta take a short break.

was a PDF version of the Bible, Yeah, because there was a viral
video going around about people signing theBible as if they were the guy yeah,
like it was the same. Thanksfor your support. I love Jays.
(22:30):
And also that's his Bible that's alwaysin. I thought it was the
first one. I don't know,like a you're asking me a Bible question.
So then Corey looks at me andhe's like, is there a PDF
version of the Bible? I'm justcurious, so you can get a PDF
version of anything. We texted momof powers and we're trying to find out.
It's also her birthday this week,so it's this is probably her proudest
(22:51):
moment as my mom right now,Like my son just asked me if there
was a digital version of the Bible, so print it out and then wrap
her present like she won't open it. You go, do you know do
you know the story of Martin LutherKing? What? Yes? All right?
No, not that? Do yousay the story of Martin Luther King?
(23:15):
Martin Luther King Junior? So,Germ and Tie came over for a
holiday like we've known each other forever. Those are the co owners of the
network. We you know, builtthis thing together, all of us,
Corey, Bird, Germ even calluh. But so you can say we're
the carpenters, were the Jesus Christof the network Carpenters. So anyway,
(23:37):
so they came over. I thinkit was Easter Thanksgiving. They were like,
ah, Germ looks back and tiefor some reason, what are they
doing. He's like, I forgota gift. They opened up like they're
trunk and they have a giant portraitof Martin Luther King, and they presented
to my mom and she was soexcited, she was so bro she was
so happy. She put it upon her mantle. But here's the thing.
(23:59):
So we lived in an area whereyou know there people are bad people,
like it was easy to detect.Like, so when you walked in
my house, you could look tothe left and you saw Martin the legend,
Martin Luther King right there on agiant portrait. And like if you
went like Carna would be like thehouse, Cord the house, we'll call
(24:19):
it. We'll catch you out.So like, especially having two older sisters
that were dating. Anytime, likeyou saw that dude like maybe you know
that got out of that pickup trucklooking to the left the wrong way,
it'd be like, get out ofhere. So it was awesome. I
also I kind of feel bad becauseI thought they just had a portrait of
him in their trunk, yes,or that was the game plan from the
(24:41):
beginning. They never shared, likeI don't know if that was always like
we're giving this a mama, powershave so much more questions. Yeah,
there's it was, dude. Itwas the best thing in the world.
And it was up there for likeuntil we sold the house, so,
which is amazing. That's fantastic.Yeah, I bet you my mom still
has it, probably in our bedroom, like she was so touched by it,
like she was so happy. Ishe absolutely still has it. Your
(25:03):
mom wouldn't throw away gent like that, I know, no, I know,
but like, you know, mydad passed. Everybody like it was
like we tried to re cleanse outof that house. Of course, I
wouldn't be shocked if you know itgot lost story of Martin Luther. Yeah,
like what oh man, all right, let's get to the Rundown guys.
(25:26):
A couple of funny things happen thisweek. We just got it.
We have to share the first one, and I'm gonna talk about this.
Jessica Beale married to Justin Timberlake.But that's not why we're talking about her.
You know, you've had, Like, have you ever drank in the
shower before you're pregaming, you bringlike a shower beer. One of your
ex girlfriends would always say, like, that's a great shower beer is a
(25:48):
great thing. Yeah, fantastic,but just a shower glass of anything.
The only thing I enjoyed more thananything that sounds terrible was after a run,
I would reward myself with a beerbecause we would do all those five
k's, that spartan race when wealmost died and one of our friends almost
died, and then we looked ateach other on the mountain and said,
(26:10):
we're there going to finish this orwe'll just die on the mountain because they
like yo, it was so roveup and like an ATV and like hold
and button down. Our guy didn'tmake it through like the first quarter mile,
so like it wasn't even so weweren't even breaking a sweat yet,
and like this dude's down like we'restorming Normandy, like you know, we're
(26:32):
like, hey, get up.He's like, no, I quit.
I quit. So he goes overto officially he quits and they have to
put him like in a on astretcher and on an ATV wheel them down.
Bro. I think the best partabout it is we finished the race,
like dude. It was like aten mile race. It was so
bad. We thought it was likea five k. It was like,
oh, it was nuts. Andit was on a mountain. There was
(26:53):
obstacles, there was everything. Uh. So I want to say we finished
the race, like dude. Itmust have been like two hours later.
Yeah, and uh we see himat the finish line with a beer in
his hand and a metal around hisneck. Oh did he not? I
don't think he took the metal.He had the metal. Go back.
There's a picture flowing around. Hehad the metal. I'm telling you right
(27:14):
now. Because he was like,I paid for it. I'm getting that,
which I agree with that man.It's included in the calls. It
was a gift. This is agift. I'm taking it with me.
So Jessica Biel does a little bitmore than just drink in the shower.
She has full on meals in theshower. She eats, and she said,
quote, I love to eat anddrink in the shower. A ledge
(27:37):
is really helpful. Something you canstick your cup of yogurt container, your
coffee, your espresso, whatever you'reenjoying, like to take a bite and
a sip and put it on theledge. It's pretty simple. I find
this deeply satisfying. I don't wantto eat yogurt in the shower. I
don't even want to drink coffee inthe shower. Yeah. I was gonna
say, drink a beer in theshower or like some sort of alcoholic be
(28:00):
rich, because at that point,trying to be reckless. I feel like
you're drinking coffee in the shower,like something's happening here, like you're either
like who are you? I liketo enjoy my coffee in the morning,
like I don't want to rush,and well, if I'm running late,
I will bring my coffee into likeshave and like get ready. But then
it stays by the bathroom sink.It doesn't go into the shower. Gobbri
(28:21):
my coffee into the shower. It'sweird. It's like it's very weird.
Have you ever had soggy bread?And I'm not talking about something that gets
soggy from like vinegar. I'm talkingabout like wet bread, like maybe the
cooler made it wet, or likeyour lunch box, like uh yeah,
I'm sure it is disgusting. Iwouldn't want water. Have you ever tried
to eat in the rain? No? You know why? Right? It
(28:42):
was terrible? Yeah, exactly.I just don't like even like she said,
like a yogurt container. I heardof people that closet eat. She
shower eats. Like that's how bad, justin Timber, like, doesn't let
her eat just to eat in theshower. What are you doing? I'm
taking it back? Yeah, youstay clean? Is that yogurt? I
smell? The guy's a terrible person. What was he You sent me something?
(29:03):
He was throwing shade at something.He said he was sorry and he's
not sorry. And then he playedCrimeing a River to who like because that's
a song like that he made aboutBrittany or allegedly so like I don't know
all the Britney allegations that came out. Oh this is his birthday and maybe
had a couple to drink. Shecame out with a cake. I was
like, oh, you want togo take a shower, like like she
invited at dinner? Did you strippedout Jessica Biale. That's weird right,
(29:27):
Like she's like, hey, youwant to go have some yogurt. I'll
be like, yeah, sounds likeshit eats breakfast in the shower all the
time. It's creepy. That's like, keep that stuff yourself. I just
don't. It's not like a crazyweird it's habit. But it's just weird
enough. You know why, Becauselike, first, if you were to
(29:48):
be like yo, bro I startedeating the like okay, like a little
weird Mike, But like I cankind of see it. She's a millionaire,
she's a made woman. There's noreason you so if you're a millionaire,
there's no reason you need to eatin the shower, Absolutely no reason.
My mom probably called the police andthings like I'm being like he asked
(30:11):
for Bible versus he's never asked forthat. He's been kidnapped. Doing a
wellness check at your house right now? Uh? The San Antonio Zoo lets
you name a cockroach after an Xand it lets you and it feeds it
to an animal for Valentine's Day?And who says romance is dead? I
want to know how, Like,who are these people going to the zoo
(30:32):
naming your ex after a cockroach?Also, I know I'm splitting hairs here,
but isn't that just as weird aslike the people that write like their
ex's names on like a target andshoot at it, you know what I
mean exactly? I was gonna saythat if I was like a detective or
FBI agent, I'd like to seethat list and match it with missing who
hurts you. First of all,the only loser in this deal is the
(30:56):
cockroach. And I'm not like apro cockroach per but it's like, what
are you doing? You're gonna marchall the way to the San Antonio Zoo
just to name the cockroach Brad andhave them feed it to a lizard or
whatever the hell animal eats cockroaches.It's you ever see that twelve year old
girl that's like, I hope youhave fun Ryan with Ashley. Yeah,
she throws the bracelet like it's thesame concept, which that girl is adorable
(31:18):
and then's so sad. But ifshe wants to feed of cockroach to an
animal, she can, But anybodyelse that's creepy. You might want to
get looked at. Also, Ifeel like, like what I don't understand,
Like what are people gonna video itand send it to the Rex?
Like this is you know what Imean, little Debbie, you just got
eaten by a squirrel. I don'tknow. I guess what weirds me?
I bet you Some teenagers do it, but it weirds me out because I
(31:41):
know adults would do that kind ofwhat if the cockroach got away? It's
like, of course you did,Jessica, of course you got away.
You're always getting away. Wait,maybe she still loves me? And like
Valentine's Day? Like what is thisdemo? I get? Who was?
Like we could reach a target audience. The zoo's like, care me out,
there's who hurt that zoo keeper?Seriously, we need a bunch of
(32:04):
cockroaches and we're gonna kill them.What? Yeah, people are gonna pay
to kill these cockroaches. It's like, we have too many cockroaches? What
should we do with them? Holdon, guys, I have an idea.
I just but first of all,are you you're not a big Valentine's
Day such a cliche? We're not. I'm not where are you Saint Patrick's
Day? Like? Pain? Yeah? We think it's cool. Man to
(32:28):
what get drunk? You and yourdaughter just sits there and get drunk?
Something? You try to catch aleprechaun? What yeah, we try to
catch a Leprechaun. You gotta doit. It's so much fun, good
and it's a better it's a betterthing than same. Valentine's Day? How
do you? Uh? No,you know what, Let's save it for
the bunch. But no, Ijust uh Valentine's Days. I would have
(32:49):
been the sixth tangent I took youout of that. I'm thoroughly like,
I'm legitimately curious about it. Butit's just it's too much. Man,
it's too much at once. Wecan't at the times just is it allowed
for it last but not least?Then we have more. But we just
gotta we gotta keep moving on.Uh. James Cameron was in Vanity Fair
magazine just spewing about Apple's newest product, their little Vision Pro, which I
(33:15):
guess is like a v R whatever, And he says, quote, my
experience was religious. Isn't it theopposite of religious? Like it's it's science,
Yeah, James Cameron, it's naturalreligious, not religion. It's actually
science. It's you can explain it. Yeah, he's a real one.
(33:36):
He's like Francis, like, I'llallow it. He allows everything else.
I love always just comes in andjust changes everything in the Catholic Church.
You know that's okay. Now that'sokay. Now we're okay with that.
Like everything, well, it goesto show how much was just made up
to. No I know that,but like, here's what I hate about
Jesus say that. Nope, okay, yeah, no, I heard Jesus.
Jesus said he doesn't like the Jesusis like that, like the Boss
(34:00):
pet that like throwing around the Jesusname, Like, oh, the Boss
is not gonna like this. Ohno, Boss doesn't want you to do
that. Yeah, you know likethat Boss loves bagels on Friday, so
you guys should really I hate itwhen these like celebrities or even the directors,
when they geek out on all thistech. I'm not a big VR
(34:21):
person to begin with anyway. Man, I'm more of a like a get
out and talk to other human beingstype individual. But you're James Cameron,
man, you made Avatar and uhTitanic, and you're this big visionary and
all this other stuff. Like Idon't understand how you can, Like,
Apple's definitely paying you to say thatthat's religious. Like Apple's got every single
market known to man, and you'regonna go ahead and and just promote their
(34:45):
stuff for free. The only thingI wish we did have was like on
my dad was a treky so hewatched a lot of Star Trek and bills.
That was pretty much my life.They had those VR rooms, so
I feel like the glasses have toevolve so that we could have these.
So how cool would that be becausea lot of divorces that room. Oh
(35:07):
man, No, they would likego into a room and they'd be like
in the wild West and they're gouldalike be at the bar and like everything's
real. It's just like it's justan excuse for an adult to play video
games. That's fair. That's all, that's all it is. I'll be
with the real people everybody. I'mnot in my room with the real human
(35:28):
being I went. The last timeI lost a ton of weight, it
was because my brother made me tryhis VR set. It's like Metal one
and videotape me in it. Youlook so you look at you like and
like you just look so creepy.Hit Yeah, like you're just in the
(35:50):
worst and you're like relaxed because youcan't see or like so your postures down
like you're not Johnny Bravo chest out. You know you're not doing anything that
you know. You don't realize peopleare watching you because you're in this whole
different heaven. It's just different reality. It's just so amazing. I don't
know. I guess maybe I shouldtry it there. I'll go over Carl's
(36:12):
house and try it, do aboxing thing and start punching holes in his
drywall or something and just blaming iton the VR. I saw Chick a
video of a chick trying VR forthe first time, which she punched like
a hole in her microwave. Thoseare the videos I'll watch. I won't
do VR, but I'll happily watcha three hour looped video on YouTube of
(36:35):
people trying VR for the first timeand injuring themselves. Are damaging stuff.
That's the stuff I find I laughat, Like the ones you see like
at the arcades and stuff. Theygot like a leash on you so you
could this is this is the worldnow, man, Nothing but VR,
guys, we gotta take another quickbreak. Stay with Us is Divide Live
on Fox Sports. The Gambler spratsTotal and all the prop that's in the
(36:59):
twein it's the Gambler. You're listeningto the Divide right here on the Gambler.
All right, we're back Divide Live, Fox Sports the Gamble. Let's
get into this last segment here.I know it's February. Pictures and catchers
are reporting soon, but we haveto talk about some baseball because something huge
happened this past week. The Oriolessold. Thank god, thank god.
(37:22):
Yeah, everybody was so excited.Yeah, the baseball community shout outs to
Baltimore that it's huge. Uh,you know, it's it's it's great news.
I hear. You know, CalRipkins included in so the U what
is it? The Angelo Angelicio familywhatever the Oriole family was. They sold
(37:44):
to a group of in like hedgefund investors. Let me find it here
real quick, because I never understandwhen they're like, I know, it's
just a group of rich people,and that's just like a fancy way of
them saying it. It's David.So yeah, the Angelo his family is
selling to the Oriols, to agroup led by private equity billionaires Rubinstein and
(38:06):
Mikegetty, uh for one point sevenbillion and a part of that private equity
billionaires club, which is a clubI'd very much like to join one day.
I know is mister cal Ripkin.Yes, famous Baltimore Oriole shortstop.
He has an insane record for thenumber of consecutive games he's played. He's
a Hall of Fame guy. He'sjust he's he's fantastic. It's got an
(38:29):
asterix on it. He made themcancel the game once because something happened with
him and his wife and Kevin Costner. You talking about when he got kidnapped,
when they got kidnapped. I don'tthink they got kidnapped, his wife
got kidnapped. No. I thinkthe fight was mom that they couldn't get
the lights. Cal Ripkins, momgot kidnapped? You never you don't remember
(38:50):
that story. I'm telling you aboustory. What's better than kidnapping mom?
I mean, geez, maybe thathopefully that they don't wish kidnapping mom's right
now while I'm waiting for my mom. Maybe that's why you say that.
Why you're looking that up to sharethat? I want to share some Mets
news, right, So why wewait for this? You know Todd Fraser
(39:13):
as his show The Daily Ticket,that's chan Bridge Geez foul Territory. Uh,
you know, and he he doesit weekly. He talks baseball.
He's a very in front type guyfor sure. You know, he shared
an experience he had with Gary Cohne, and it was really they were relating
something where it happens a lot inbaseball, like you know, the announcers
(39:35):
like act as if the players aren'tgoing to go back and listen to this,
and that their families aren't listening.So Gary Cohen's been with the Mets
for almost twenty and thirty years,twenty nine years to be exact. Uh,
you know, he was down onthe team, you know, like
a lot of us were. Fanbase was was pretty bad towards some of
the players as well for a bunchof those years, especially once the Phillies
won the World Series. So youknow, he had a He confronted Gary
(40:00):
Cohen, and the fact is,it's not what Todd said because if you
go back and listen to it,you probably wouldn't make that much headlines.
It was all the people on Twitter, all the social media is and he
chuckled at it and it's funny,you know, but the few people I
have an issue with is number one, the fan base in general. Right,
Listen, Gary Cohen's great. Keithis great, but let's not pretend.
(40:21):
First off, Gary Cohen does notrecognize the seventh line. I don't
know if you know that. Sosomething happened in the early seven line was
a little bit different than they aretoday. They're a little more PG for
sure, but they used to havelike a calendar. Some happened with the
seven line and Gary Cohen's wife notliking them, so he refuses to mention
(40:45):
them on the air. Everybody elsementions them on the air. How we
Rose mentions the seven line on theair, Gary Cohen refuses to ever say
their name. He'll say there's agiant contingency of medfans center field or at
away game. He will never callit the heavenline to the point where I
think, now it's a stick.But there was definitely animosity right. Also,
(41:08):
same announcers, same announcers. Fanstold you to take it easy on
the team. They wrote a letter, Gary, Keith and Ron wrote a
letter to the fan base to tellus to take it easy, give this
ownership, be a fan root onyour team. We don't boo all this
(41:31):
nonsense. So they told you howto do your job. Fans, so
a player could tell them how todo their job and vice versa. I
don't understand for why, like KeithHernandez so thin skinned dude, you would
think like, come on, man, you used to go crazy. You
used to like straight up smoke cigarettesand play baseball at the same time.
(41:52):
Oh, you would have if somebodysays something bad about him and punched him
in the MoU And so now you'regonna cry about it because fans are talking
smack about new and what I willshare, what I will share, and
we'll go back on the Orioles thingis like Todd isn't in your face guy?
Like when we're at the comedy night, I was like, do you
want to sit sand He's like,you tell me where to go? Like
he's that kind of guy, Likehe's a coach, he's a straightforward player.
(42:13):
Yeah, this is what I want, man. And he got gassed
up to play against me a cornhole, like a little too much. Oh
I remember the comedy night. Hecame over. He's liked powers, just
can't make up his mind. I'mjust like, look, man, you
want answers, you come to me. Bro, you don't need no I'm
kidding, but no, I Ithink Todd's right for coming over and just
being like, look, you gottabe a fan, man, you gotta
(42:34):
be like and that's the thing,like what announcers like, or at least
announcers that are publicly rooting or saythey're a fan and that they like.
If you're gonna say something like that, then you got to be the first
one to step up and root forthe team even in a slump. You
gotta be the first one to bepositive because the fans can flip easy,
especially in the New York market.Oh dude, I mean there's there's really
exactly all right, So share thismom got kidnapped. So we've talked about
(42:58):
this before. I don't remember,I swear to God because his mother died
in twenty twenty one, and Ithink we mentioned it on the show.
I remember talking about this with youbecause I pulled. I remember this article
damn years ago. I know.But because this is dude, this is
how the article starts. And Idon't want to laugh because this is literally
it's the Associated Press article and itjust says, you know what we're saying,
(43:22):
V or V it's a V.I is the name the v Ripkin,
mother of cow Ripken Jr. Andkidnap victim dies at eighty two.
Oh sorry, so her greatest joys. Imagine that's did germ Germ? This
(43:47):
germ got kidnapped. Yes, yo, when Germ dies at the young age
of ninety four, just imagine firefightingkidnap victim. Imagine making it eighty's that's
no small feet. You make iteighty two years. You probably do a
million amazing things in eighty two years. By two things. When you die,
(44:13):
According to the Associated Press, whenyou die, you're the mother of
Calariken Jr. And you're also akidnapped victim. And then the article goes
on to say in twenty twelve,police says she was kidnapped at gunpoint at
her home in Aberdeen, Maryland,and driven around blindfolded by her abductor.
She was found bound and unharmed abouttwenty four hours later in her car near
(44:35):
her home. The case was neversolved. That's that's crazy. Oh my
god, bro, Billy Ripkin wasa great baseball player. She didn't even
name any of our other kids init, like it's just kidnap victim.
But whatever. I'm glad she survivedand she last will survived the kidnapping.
(44:57):
Yeah, you can't catch that.Yeah, everybody, it's coming for us.
It's right around the corner for someof you. You know two people
that are kind of like cool,like I just understand death more than I
get. My daughter and wife they'rejust like, yeah, it's gonna hap.
Well, I feel like your wifehas a full grasp and understanding.
I can't. I think your daughter'sjust mimicking your wife. I don't.
It'd be hard for a seven yearold to really, but hey, man,
(45:17):
you never know. Man, thekids are freaking you know how kids
are like brutally honest with you.They're like, oh, they're just being
kids, And like twenty years later, like, no, that kid was
right. You know they are.They just saw through my personality and went
right for my weakness. Now you'reabsolutely right. All right, guys,
get ready, save some scratch,save some money. Between now and the
next time we see you, Mikeand I'll have all of our prop bets
(45:40):
and hopefully we'll be able to giveyou some advice to make a little bit
of money on the super Bowl.Guys, have a good week. We
will see you in seven days.This is Divide Live on Fox sports The
Gambler. Enjoy the Pro Bowl,you can wager on it, we're talking
about it. It's the Gambler.
Welcome to the Divide with Mike andCorey, two diehard baseball fans who don't
agree on anything. Which side willyou choose? This is the with Mike
and Corey. Put your boy ToddFrazier. Hey, what'll help? This
is Cliff Floyd. You can't catchme on the Divide. You can catch
(00:21):
me on the Divide on Fox SportsThe Gambler. Hopefully our disagreement bring us
all together. So so Corny,I own our disagreement, bring up I
do Here we are Philly, Welcometo the Divide live on Fox Sports The
(00:44):
Gambler one of two five Philly onefour one and check us out on the
iHeartRadio app. And man, ohman, what do you want to get
to? First? Man, arewe doing Super Bowl uh fiasco? You
want to recap that? You wantto get into because there's been baseball news
this week. It's yeah, it'sall over the place. It's in crazy.
There's been some Vincic man w Wstuff, Horri flying, and it's
(01:08):
it's been a NHL All Star weekend. It's it's there's a lot. Man.
I feel like it was like nothing, nothing, nothing, and now
everything and then Elmo had the Gonadsjust checking in Elmo. We'll get to
that. Some of the replies areamazing. We should read them on air
(01:30):
your rundown. But yeah, it'sbeen a crazy week, you know.
I'm I just asked this question,and I know I might upset some of
our pop friends out there, butI'm hoping Taylor Swift does not make that
flight, like because she's in Japan. And then so here's the story,
everybody. So Taylor Swift is stilldoing the aerostour. I know this is
(01:51):
what you guys doing it for,but you're gonna get it. It's uh,
she's got a show in Japan.I guess it's the night before.
With the way time works and timedifference, it's actually two nights before.
Anyway, whatever the math works outto be right, she can literally leave
the concert, hop on her privatejet and land in Vegas the night before
(02:12):
the super Bowl. She can watchthe super Bowl and then she's got to
hop back on a flight. Ofcourse, that's what she's gonna do.
I mean, there's not a question. And I'm starting to change my Taylor
Swift heart because the more it mightbecome a song, I want her to
write a song about me. Ohmy god, the more I watch,
the more I realize, you knowwhat, stop hating Taylor Swift for this.
(02:35):
Everybody's so mad. It's not herfault. It's the greedy NFL's fault
for showing her every five seconds.It's no different she meets her man down
on the field after Now, don'tget me wrong, it's Travis Kelsey's fault
as well, just like the NFL. He's the one that made brought her
into this and made it as bigas it is. So you could be
mad at Travis, I wouldn't bemad at Taylor. I'm not mad at
Taylor anymore. She's not the oneworking the camera. She's going to support
(02:59):
her man. You know how manyNFL wives and girlfriends are at every single
game, all of them. Andyet just because this one happens to be
a famous, thirty something year oldbillionaire whatever, you know, she gets
her facial you know it's it usedto be Brittany Mahomes and Jackson Mahomes face
everything. Yeah, that's fair.Now it's Taylor. So I'd rather watch
Taylor than Jackson Mahomes. Oh.It's absolutely the right group to do it,
(03:23):
you know what I mean, theright fan base to do it in
because it was they were already annoying. But like, so like what sucks
was I think we were all asAmericans in agreement that they were annoying,
so you didn't have this outcry ofChiefs fans. We're all like, dude,
Mahomes is the goat, He's gonnabe He's the next Tom Brady.
Is on the same trajectory as TomBrady. And you're like, but I
(03:46):
can't stand his brother and his wife. That's a debate. I don't want
to get into the Mahomes tom Bradyyeah comparison, because I think he has
a long way to go. ButI agree it's it's, you know,
you gotta get proper to Andy Reidand all of this. As much as
people hate the Chiefs right now,just five years ago, everybody was loving
the Chiefs, so you're starting tohate them, but you got to thank
(04:09):
Andy Reid for that five super Bowlappearance or four super Bowl appearances in the
last five years. I mean,that's that coaching is everything, and I
think Jackson Mahomes has to thank AndyReid. I think Travis Kelse thanks and
Andy Reid. But yeah, no, I definitely think it's it's super annoying
because you're right, America hated theBrittany Jackson Mahomes duo together. But now
(04:32):
you have this new fan base thatthe NFL got just because of Taylor Swift.
And the annoying part is it's afan base that doesn't watch football.
So you know, yeah, itwas annoying when they went and played the
Jets and the stadium was half ofthem were swifty fans just trying to look
at her from one hundred yards away, which is just dumb. But we've
(04:54):
been through all that. Let's talkabout the game real quick. Let's talk
about Baltimore versus Case. Yeah didKansas did he win or did Baltimore lose?
I mean it requires both, right, you know what I mean?
Though, Yeah, I know Baltimoredefinitely they blew it. Yeah, they
blew it. I don't. Yougot one of the best mobile quarterbacks MVP
(05:15):
contention every year, especially this year, not using his legs. Yeah,
and it just it fired me upa little bit, maybe because I wanted
to see Baltimore win. But atthe same time, it's like, you
know, what are we doing?Kansas City is not It's hard to keep
saying a team's not that good ifthey keep winning, but every you know,
(05:36):
you know, you know they're not. What I do know is like
I said, you had it justfor me. It wasn't really the fact
that Casey outplayed Baltimore. It wasjust like from a betting standpoint, it
was everybody I knew was on Baltimoreand I was like, oh, so
much money. Uh oh, LikeI was like, oh no, to
(05:58):
the point where like you know,I I I was like, do I
do this? And I did itbecause LJ is that guy, like you
know, he me want me afantasy championship and nobody cares about And it
was just like, you know what, he's that guy. But yeah,
the Chiefs just they've been there beforetoo, so this is another day in
the office. Of course, youknow, like so that that that can
(06:18):
change. You know, you gottaget in like a lot of like we
saw it with the Giants when theybeat the Patriots. You know, you
gotta get in. So so theplayoffs are a crapshoot. It's a little
more predictable in the NFL than thanBaseball or something crazy like that. But
it's one game and you can winone game and the Chiefs tend to do
that, you know. So,I mean, think about the Super Bowl
(06:40):
last year, Chiefs Eagles, likeit, it felt like it it was
the Eagles all the way up towhat true? That's true? Yeah,
So I don't know. The Ninerswas a heartbreaker for the Lions because the
Lions came out it's killing it.It was just wrong. We're already being
like, oh my god, it'sgonna be Taylor Swift first eminem in the
Super Bowl. And I was likeI could stomach that. I could absolutely
(07:02):
stomach that, because like, thatwould have been a great game. Dude.
You would have had all these fortyplus your old men bleaching their air
and like bringing out the white Carl. Carl would have brought back k Oh
my god, I kind of wanthim to still do that. Yeah,
it would have been nuts. AndI was like, this is scripted,
(07:23):
this is insane. I don't thinkanybody was more angry at that than me,
first of all, because I betthe Lions and they blew such a
lead and uh, it almost didn'tcover for me. It didn't last minute
because I got that touchdown, thankgod. So I did win a little
bit of money, but I wasdoing from the start, because you had
(07:45):
mentioned in the via text message.I was amped up. I was mad
that Baltimore lost. And then westarted watching the Detroit game and we were
texting and Detroit scored that quick touchdown. Yeah, and you had mentioned that
your aunt's a Niners fan, andI don't know your answer. Oh yeah,
I made a terror comment about youraunt rooting, and then you told
me that she's no longer with us. Yeah, And then I felt terrible,
(08:05):
and then Germ doubled down and waslike, nah, I don't feel
bad. You didn't know, andyou know, if Germ agrees with me,
yeah, definitely something terrible. That'sexactly no. I I kind of
I knew in honor of my auntMary, because you would have get laughed
about that scenario. I kind ofbaited you for sure, like, you
know, my dad's a Bills fan. My aunt Mary was hardcore forty nine
(08:26):
ers. Was he really a Billsfan? Yeah, my dad was.
And I don't make stuff up likewell, you know the timing because you
were also like, hey, mydad after you told me that, Yeah,
yeah, yeah, my dad's aBills fan. You want to sustain
I thought you were goading me tosay something bad about him because Germ was
on the thread. So I thought, I literally thought you were goading me.
It's why, like I I rooton Alan and I feel for Germ
(08:48):
because the Billings he had no idea. Here, I am thinking, you're
just trying to be peaceful for German. I'm just trying to cause a ruckus
for that man all the time.And your dad's a bills face. Look
the more you know, how longare we even? You know Brooklyn,
I don't know that. I don'tknow that. But yeah, so yeah
man so and uh yeah, soCorey took the bait shout out to say
(09:09):
Mary RP. She was amazing,dude, she was such a great human
being. So I was really rootingfor the Niners again. It's second like
second time, right, so Ifeel like it's happened before with the Niners
and the Chiefs, right, Soyeah, I mean it's it's was was
that five years ago? Yes?So the crazy thing. Let's give our
(09:33):
predictions real quick. I mean,we'll be able to do this next week
too, when the dust settles alittle bit. But yeah, all I'll
say, just to cap off thiswhole Super Bowl What's what we're going to
get into is if San Fran comesout the same way they came out against
the Lines in the first half,and they go down against the Chiefs,
they're not coming They're never they're notgoing back. You can't one you pulled
something off like that and like youget away with it once. You can
(09:54):
never pull that off even in aregular season. Yeah, you know in
this kind of and and against theChiefs they are built and you got and
you look at like, I mean, you watch the game, right,
you look at the auk miraculous catchoff the helmet. Right if Dan Campbell
thinking he's got a set, beingstupid going for it when he should have
kicked the game tying field goal,you know what I mean? It was
(10:16):
it was a quick Honestly, itwas a what was it it was that
that a touchdown? And then wasit a quick turnover? I think it
was a quick turnover off of funballthey scored again, and just like that.
It was just you know, itwas a game. But I think
coaching coaching laws and night Dan Campbell. I mean, I I mentioned to
you guys in the group thread thatdude, no one should be nice to
(10:37):
that man. You know, likeI know, you brought you've you've had,
you had two seasons with the winningrecord, with the lines you're you
brought him out of just years ofbeing awful. You gave him an NFC
championship game. But you can't coachlike that, man, like you can't
be the guy that's not gonna kickit. You gotta be smart, like
you should be dragged through the citiesof Detroit. And there's praising him.
(11:00):
I agree, all right. Sofirst prop that of the Super Bowl,
and I don't think anybody's covered thisyet. How many times do the announcers
talk about the pandemic? Because thelast time the Chiefs and the Niners played
it was twenty twenty, and rightafter that Super Bowl, the whole world,
Oh god, sick. Oh what'sthe line? Five? How many
(11:26):
times they how many times they mentionedthat, they mention it, they hype
it up, or like while they'retalking about the matchup, or if they
bring up twenty twenty, do youthink they'll bring up the I think five
is a good number. Man.You got to think there's definitely one at
the beginning and one at the end, no matter, no ye, And
then three somewhere in between. Yeah, so I think that's fair. Yeah,
I'm going over on that. SoI'm saying it's going to be more
(11:50):
than five. But yeah, it'sit's crazy to think how long we've been
in this, right, So it'sbeen four five super Bowls, four years.
But yeah, and people are stillgetting sick, like it's just I
was on a phone with a clienttoday and they're like, yeah, I'm
not feeling great, and I waslike, oh, thank god, this
is virtual our prop bets. Man. Last year, I still like the
(12:13):
doink prock bet. I still likethe hit, the hit the field goal
post. I just do. Butit's in Vegas. It's in the dome,
so it's like, yeah, there'sless conditions, like it's less money,
you know. But I I don'tlike the octopus this year. Okay,
I don't. I could see that. Yeah, you're not going to
see those two quarterbacks. I mean, the homes has known been known to
(12:37):
kind of take it, but they'renot. You know, it's gonna be
very hard, but I can't wait. Man, next week we're gonna go
over all of our prop bets.Gator colors, like gatoray color. I
think it's gonna be purple. Thatpopped in my mind. It's gonna be
purple once she said that it wasa rematch of sorts that it just popped
in my head. I think it'sgonna be purple. I think it's gonna
be purple. I'm going like glacierlike that clear looking clear. Yeah.
(13:03):
Well, I remember last year itwas so hard, like the camera didn't
even show it. We had toget on Twitter to see what it was.
I can't wait, man, I'mgonna lose so much. Betty be
red, right, it's gotta bered. That's why I'm thinking outside the
box here. Man. They wantyou, the man wants you to think
that might need a colorful color,like you know what I mean, or
like yeah, so you're you're sayingpurple, I'm saying purple. It won't
(13:26):
be clear. Then it's gotta bered or red, orange, blue,
and then purple will be like ohyou see, like LJ was POSSI when
they switched the script because we're caughton like whatever you know my barber,
uh that came out of her mouth. She because you know, that whole
picture leaked of like the TV guidewith usher and riba and then this was
(13:50):
the Sandfron against the Baltimore Ravens,and like that clearly photoshop, like you
can do anything these days. Butshe let it fall. She said a
network. Yeah, she said somethingabout that, and I'm just kind of
like, guys, listen, Iknow, it's fun to think there's a
script. There's not a script.There's not a script. No, there
can't be. There's too many peopleinvolved. It's like landing on the moon,
(14:11):
like you had to have done itbecause it's just too many people that
you would have had to have hushedup. You know, we definitely didn't
learn on the moon. Don't dothat, man, don't do that.
Try to win a debate within thedebate. No. Yeah, it's it's
too funny to even think about it. But it's also like that's how the
algorithms have gotten Like, so technologyhas gotten so well today the first Madden
(14:35):
draw did you see that? Sothe Madden simulation they run it X amount
of times? Yeah, predicts aten to seven game. Oh right,
that's thanks, right, Niners winning. I mean I like that part,
but yeah, there's no way.Actually, I was so disheartened. I
gotta check to make sure it wasthe Niners winning because it is. We'll
(14:58):
just say yeah. Probably was likeonce I had the same feeling you did
ten seven or ten six. Itwas I was just like, are you
serious? So uh back to tofootball and Swift. So did you see
the clip of Taylor Swift yelling backat Baltimore Fans Chiefs win? Jeez,
it's even worse. You know,I can't keep doing every time a Super
(15:24):
Bowl happens, Mike, and we'redead set on a team winning or anything
like even the World Series and we'redead set on a team winning, they
never win. I think we shouldjust give it. Just root for the
Chiefs. Pride and luck guys.Yeah, exactly, root for the Chiefs,
Chiefs jerseys. Yeah, we're kindof cool with the Eagles winning.
(15:45):
I mean, we knew, weknew guys on the team. You know.
It helps the gambler, it helpsus. Brace was willing to go
out. We're gonna have him onlocation going through the streets. Yeah,
you know, and God told thema horseman or like the last time it
was all about it, he actuallysuggested it. It's like I haven't had
this much fun since January. Justkidding, my god, he's an awesome
(16:11):
human being. Of course he is. That's why we joked. I didn't
say the day in January. Ithink we all know. Yeah, yeah,
what were we talking? Oh TaylorSwift yelling back at Ravens fans.
Who cares? See, this isthe problem. This is why we can't
hate her. It's not her fault. This is this Why is this news?
(16:33):
And what she yelled back wasn't eventhat she was like, she yelled
anything crazy? Come on. Myfavorite was the poster of her looking back
like that meme. It was herlooking back at the other day. That
kid, that kid, that kid'sgoing places kid. Well, that's a
creative young, creative young man.Yeah, I love it. I love
it. I can't wait, man, I have, uh in my underwear
(16:55):
drawer, there's a stack of money, and I'm going to take that entire
stack of money in place super bullbets. I can't wait. I cannot
wait. This is this is mysuper Bowl, if you know what I
mean that? Uh yeah, man, I I had I'm scared because like
I did so well lad super Bowl. The whole town knows it. My
niece and nephew might not come onSunday because they're still scared good good,
(17:18):
But I yeah, I don't know. I gotta really I'm gonna study.
I'm gonna think about it, andlike you said, try not to overthink
it. I mean, last yearI got very lucky with the to hit
the post and the post not eventalking props. Yeahs are no, but
that's what hit. And when thosehit, all sins are forgiven for the
game. Just throw our inhibitions tothe win. Here, let's stay with
(17:41):
the Super Bowl topic here. Didyou see the clip of Tom Brady former
Super Bowl chair home five time,Super Bowl cham six time I think Super
Bowl champing. Uh. He wasat some convention. He was he was
the guest speaker and I guess hewas doing a Q and A and and
a rugby player was like, hey, can you throw me this football?
It was a dude. There hadto be at least three to four hundred
(18:02):
people in that room number one.So not only you guys gotta go watch
the clip. We'll post it onour socials. Tom Brady's on stage and
he throws this rocket with like nowarm up, just a rocket, and
it had to be at least aforty yard pass. I mean, it
was pretty far away. Crowded room, crowded room. I wasn't nervous for
(18:22):
Tom Brady making the pass as Iwas for the guy I was thinking that
too, but catch it. Ifhe misses that, Like, if that
goes through his hands, there's probablya poor woman or man sitting right at
that table. It would have gotobliterated, and the headline wouldn't have been
like quarterback still has it. Itwould have been like Tom Brady recklessly thrown
incinerates bystander. Yeah, recklessly throwsfootball into crowded room in hopes that an
(18:48):
ex rugby player would catch ball,Like you know, second former Patriot committed
murder when you sent it. That'swhat I thought. I was like,
Oh, he finally messed up inlife, you know because even like through
the divorced situation, like it wasbro he walked in the wrong house.
Yeah, and he's Tom Brady.People are like, no, it's your
house now, man, don't worryabout it. I don't hear take the
(19:08):
keys? What else you want todo? My wife's upstairs, like you
know what I mean? Like,I'm it's Tom Brady. You can't do
any wrong, toy, Like whatis it? Tom? Tom got drunk?
At his last Super Bowl party,and people weren't even mad that he
was, just like, ah,he just needs to let loose. He's
been eating almonds and drinking water forthe last twenty years of his life.
So Tom Brady finally pulled that Foxtrigger. So he's a Fox broadcaster.
(19:33):
Oh he did, he did,he did? All right? So yeah,
so that contract so we now knowlife after you know? All right,
p Greg Olsen, I don't knowwhat he's gonna be doing now,
dude. I like Greg Man.Listen, I do too. I'm just
teasing Greg tom uh. I knowTony Romo's not Fox, but like,
give me, give me more theman in cast. This is the future
(19:53):
of broadcast. That's fair. Ilike Chris collins were if you say Paul
McAfee, you say Chris Dollands shouldbe canceled. I've seen some weird oh
yeah, but I'm just saying,like, I know, Chris Collinsworth has
played the game before. You know, you know, you got Troy Aikman
has played. But Trey Aikman's notbad. The worst part about Trey Aikman
(20:15):
is with Troy you get Joe Buck. You know what I mean. Football,
Now, give me players other thanChris Collinsworth that know what they're talking
about, preferably a quarterback. Giveme a defensive guy, man, I'd
love to hear the defensive side ofthe ball and how they're what the read
is, how they're thinking me RichardSherman all day calling a game. Football
announcing used to be so much easiernow with ever since Tony Romo like kind
(20:37):
of just started telling you what theplay was gonna be as it was happening,
it's become a requirement where you needa guy who could read play calls.
It used to be like, youknow, you got guys like Tom
Brady. But even though like GregOlsen breaking down every single round. Yeah,
it's like unreal man football knowledge throughthe roof. Yeah, it's great.
I do it all day. It'slike he's a heck of a ballplayer.
(21:02):
Yeah, here's a guy that getout of here, bro break down
the play man. I don't wantto know his hobbies. Speaking of hobbies,
we gotta pay some bills, sowe gotta take a short break.

(22:10):
on the network pod at least.Yeah, and if you were on that
break, you would have known that. I just asked my mom if there
was a PDF version of the Bible, Yeah, because there was a viral
video going around about people signing theBible as if they were the guy yeah,
like it was the same. Thanksfor your support. I love Jays.
(22:30):
And also that's his Bible that's alwaysin. I thought it was the
first one. I don't know,like a you're asking me a Bible question.
So then Corey looks at me andhe's like, is there a PDF
version of the Bible? I'm justcurious, so you can get a PDF
version of anything. We texted momof powers and we're trying to find out.
It's also her birthday this week,so it's this is probably her proudest
(22:51):
moment as my mom right now,Like my son just asked me if there
was a digital version of the Bible, so print it out and then wrap
her present like she won't open it. You go, do you know do
you know the story of Martin LutherKing? What? Yes? All right?
No, not that? Do yousay the story of Martin Luther King?
(23:15):
Martin Luther King Junior? So,Germ and Tie came over for a
holiday like we've known each other forever. Those are the co owners of the
network. We you know, builtthis thing together, all of us,
Corey, Bird, Germ even calluh. But so you can say we're
the carpenters, were the Jesus Christof the network Carpenters. So anyway,
(23:37):
so they came over. I thinkit was Easter Thanksgiving. They were like,
ah, Germ looks back and tiefor some reason, what are they
doing. He's like, I forgota gift. They opened up like they're
trunk and they have a giant portraitof Martin Luther King, and they presented
to my mom and she was soexcited, she was so bro she was
so happy. She put it upon her mantle. But here's the thing.
(23:59):
So we lived in an area whereyou know there people are bad people,
like it was easy to detect.Like, so when you walked in
my house, you could look tothe left and you saw Martin the legend,
Martin Luther King right there on agiant portrait. And like if you
went like Carna would be like thehouse, Cord the house, we'll call
(24:19):
it. We'll catch you out.So like, especially having two older sisters
that were dating. Anytime, likeyou saw that dude like maybe you know
that got out of that pickup trucklooking to the left the wrong way,
it'd be like, get out ofhere. So it was awesome. I
also I kind of feel bad becauseI thought they just had a portrait of
him in their trunk, yes,or that was the game plan from the
(24:41):
beginning. They never shared, likeI don't know if that was always like
we're giving this a mama, powershave so much more questions. Yeah,
there's it was, dude. Itwas the best thing in the world.
And it was up there for likeuntil we sold the house, so,
which is amazing. That's fantastic.Yeah, I bet you my mom still
has it, probably in our bedroom, like she was so touched by it,
like she was so happy. Ishe absolutely still has it. Your
(25:03):
mom wouldn't throw away gent like that, I know, no, I know,
but like, you know, mydad passed. Everybody like it was
like we tried to re cleanse outof that house. Of course, I
wouldn't be shocked if you know itgot lost story of Martin Luther. Yeah,
like what oh man, all right, let's get to the Rundown guys.
(25:26):
A couple of funny things happen thisweek. We just got it.
We have to share the first one, and I'm gonna talk about this.
Jessica Beale married to Justin Timberlake.But that's not why we're talking about her.
You know, you've had, Like, have you ever drank in the
shower before you're pregaming, you bringlike a shower beer. One of your
ex girlfriends would always say, like, that's a great shower beer is a
(25:48):
great thing. Yeah, fantastic,but just a shower glass of anything.
The only thing I enjoyed more thananything that sounds terrible was after a run,
I would reward myself with a beerbecause we would do all those five
k's, that spartan race when wealmost died and one of our friends almost
died, and then we looked ateach other on the mountain and said,
(26:10):
we're there going to finish this orwe'll just die on the mountain because they
like yo, it was so roveup and like an ATV and like hold
and button down. Our guy didn'tmake it through like the first quarter mile,
so like it wasn't even so weweren't even breaking a sweat yet,
and like this dude's down like we'restorming Normandy, like you know, we're
(26:32):
like, hey, get up.He's like, no, I quit.
I quit. So he goes overto officially he quits and they have to
put him like in a on astretcher and on an ATV wheel them down.
Bro. I think the best partabout it is we finished the race,
like dude. It was like aten mile race. It was so
bad. We thought it was likea five k. It was like,
oh, it was nuts. Andit was on a mountain. There was
(26:53):
obstacles, there was everything. Uh. So I want to say we finished
the race, like dude. Itmust have been like two hours later.
Yeah, and uh we see himat the finish line with a beer in
his hand and a metal around hisneck. Oh did he not? I
don't think he took the metal.He had the metal. Go back.
There's a picture flowing around. Hehad the metal. I'm telling you right
(27:14):
now. Because he was like,I paid for it. I'm getting that,
which I agree with that man.It's included in the calls. It
was a gift. This is agift. I'm taking it with me.
So Jessica Biel does a little bitmore than just drink in the shower.
She has full on meals in theshower. She eats, and she said,
quote, I love to eat anddrink in the shower. A ledge
(27:37):
is really helpful. Something you canstick your cup of yogurt container, your
coffee, your espresso, whatever you'reenjoying, like to take a bite and
a sip and put it on theledge. It's pretty simple. I find
this deeply satisfying. I don't wantto eat yogurt in the shower. I
don't even want to drink coffee inthe shower. Yeah. I was gonna
say, drink a beer in theshower or like some sort of alcoholic be
(28:00):
rich, because at that point,trying to be reckless. I feel like
you're drinking coffee in the shower,like something's happening here, like you're either
like who are you? I liketo enjoy my coffee in the morning,
like I don't want to rush,and well, if I'm running late,
I will bring my coffee into likeshave and like get ready. But then
it stays by the bathroom sink.It doesn't go into the shower. Gobbri
(28:21):
my coffee into the shower. It'sweird. It's like it's very weird.
Have you ever had soggy bread?And I'm not talking about something that gets
soggy from like vinegar. I'm talkingabout like wet bread, like maybe the
cooler made it wet, or likeyour lunch box, like uh yeah,
I'm sure it is disgusting. Iwouldn't want water. Have you ever tried
to eat in the rain? No? You know why? Right? It
(28:42):
was terrible? Yeah, exactly.I just don't like even like she said,
like a yogurt container. I heardof people that closet eat. She
shower eats. Like that's how bad, justin Timber, like, doesn't let
her eat just to eat in theshower. What are you doing? I'm
taking it back? Yeah, youstay clean? Is that yogurt? I
smell? The guy's a terrible person. What was he You sent me something?
(29:03):
He was throwing shade at something.He said he was sorry and he's
not sorry. And then he playedCrimeing a River to who like because that's
a song like that he made aboutBrittany or allegedly so like I don't know
all the Britney allegations that came out. Oh this is his birthday and maybe
had a couple to drink. Shecame out with a cake. I was
like, oh, you want togo take a shower, like like she
invited at dinner? Did you strippedout Jessica Biale. That's weird right,
(29:27):
Like she's like, hey, youwant to go have some yogurt. I'll
be like, yeah, sounds likeshit eats breakfast in the shower all the
time. It's creepy. That's like, keep that stuff yourself. I just
don't. It's not like a crazyweird it's habit. But it's just weird
enough. You know why, Becauselike, first, if you were to
(29:48):
be like yo, bro I startedeating the like okay, like a little
weird Mike, But like I cankind of see it. She's a millionaire,
she's a made woman. There's noreason you so if you're a millionaire,
there's no reason you need to eatin the shower, Absolutely no reason.
My mom probably called the police andthings like I'm being like he asked
(30:11):
for Bible versus he's never asked forthat. He's been kidnapped. Doing a
wellness check at your house right now? Uh? The San Antonio Zoo lets
you name a cockroach after an Xand it lets you and it feeds it
to an animal for Valentine's Day?And who says romance is dead? I
want to know how, Like,who are these people going to the zoo
(30:32):
naming your ex after a cockroach?Also, I know I'm splitting hairs here,
but isn't that just as weird aslike the people that write like their
ex's names on like a target andshoot at it, you know what I
mean exactly? I was gonna saythat if I was like a detective or
FBI agent, I'd like to seethat list and match it with missing who
hurts you. First of all,the only loser in this deal is the
(30:56):
cockroach. And I'm not like apro cockroach per but it's like, what
are you doing? You're gonna marchall the way to the San Antonio Zoo
just to name the cockroach Brad andhave them feed it to a lizard or
whatever the hell animal eats cockroaches.It's you ever see that twelve year old
girl that's like, I hope youhave fun Ryan with Ashley. Yeah,
she throws the bracelet like it's thesame concept, which that girl is adorable
(31:18):
and then's so sad. But ifshe wants to feed of cockroach to an
animal, she can, But anybodyelse that's creepy. You might want to
get looked at. Also, Ifeel like, like what I don't understand,
Like what are people gonna video itand send it to the Rex?
Like this is you know what Imean, little Debbie, you just got
eaten by a squirrel. I don'tknow. I guess what weirds me?
I bet you Some teenagers do it, but it weirds me out because I
(31:41):
know adults would do that kind ofwhat if the cockroach got away? It's
like, of course you did,Jessica, of course you got away.
You're always getting away. Wait,maybe she still loves me? And like
Valentine's Day? Like what is thisdemo? I get? Who was?
Like we could reach a target audience. The zoo's like, care me out,
there's who hurt that zoo keeper?Seriously, we need a bunch of
(32:04):
cockroaches and we're gonna kill them.What? Yeah, people are gonna pay
to kill these cockroaches. It's like, we have too many cockroaches? What
should we do with them? Holdon, guys, I have an idea.
I just but first of all,are you you're not a big Valentine's
Day such a cliche? We're not. I'm not where are you Saint Patrick's
Day? Like? Pain? Yeah? We think it's cool. Man to
(32:28):
what get drunk? You and yourdaughter just sits there and get drunk?
Something? You try to catch aleprechaun? What yeah, we try to
catch a Leprechaun. You gotta doit. It's so much fun, good
and it's a better it's a betterthing than same. Valentine's Day? How
do you? Uh? No,you know what, Let's save it for
the bunch. But no, Ijust uh Valentine's Days. I would have
(32:49):
been the sixth tangent I took youout of that. I'm thoroughly like,
I'm legitimately curious about it. Butit's just it's too much. Man,
it's too much at once. Wecan't at the times just is it allowed
for it last but not least?Then we have more. But we just
gotta we gotta keep moving on.Uh. James Cameron was in Vanity Fair
magazine just spewing about Apple's newest product, their little Vision Pro, which I
(33:15):
guess is like a v R whatever, And he says, quote, my
experience was religious. Isn't it theopposite of religious? Like it's it's science,
Yeah, James Cameron, it's naturalreligious, not religion. It's actually
science. It's you can explain it. Yeah, he's a real one.
(33:36):
He's like Francis, like, I'llallow it. He allows everything else.
I love always just comes in andjust changes everything in the Catholic Church.
You know that's okay. Now that'sokay. Now we're okay with that.
Like everything, well, it goesto show how much was just made up
to. No I know that,but like, here's what I hate about
Jesus say that. Nope, okay, yeah, no, I heard Jesus.
Jesus said he doesn't like the Jesusis like that, like the Boss
(34:00):
pet that like throwing around the Jesusname, Like, oh, the Boss
is not gonna like this. Ohno, Boss doesn't want you to do
that. Yeah, you know likethat Boss loves bagels on Friday, so
you guys should really I hate itwhen these like celebrities or even the directors,
when they geek out on all thistech. I'm not a big VR
(34:21):
person to begin with anyway. Man, I'm more of a like a get
out and talk to other human beingstype individual. But you're James Cameron,
man, you made Avatar and uhTitanic, and you're this big visionary and
all this other stuff. Like Idon't understand how you can, Like,
Apple's definitely paying you to say thatthat's religious. Like Apple's got every single
market known to man, and you'regonna go ahead and and just promote their
(34:45):
stuff for free. The only thingI wish we did have was like on
my dad was a treky so hewatched a lot of Star Trek and bills.
That was pretty much my life.They had those VR rooms, so
I feel like the glasses have toevolve so that we could have these.
So how cool would that be becausea lot of divorces that room. Oh
(35:07):
man, No, they would likego into a room and they'd be like
in the wild West and they're gouldalike be at the bar and like everything's
real. It's just like it's justan excuse for an adult to play video
games. That's fair. That's all, that's all it is. I'll be
with the real people everybody. I'mnot in my room with the real human
(35:28):
being I went. The last timeI lost a ton of weight, it
was because my brother made me tryhis VR set. It's like Metal one
and videotape me in it. Youlook so you look at you like and
like you just look so creepy.Hit Yeah, like you're just in the
(35:50):
worst and you're like relaxed because youcan't see or like so your postures down
like you're not Johnny Bravo chest out. You know you're not doing anything that
you know. You don't realize peopleare watching you because you're in this whole
different heaven. It's just different reality. It's just so amazing. I don't
know. I guess maybe I shouldtry it there. I'll go over Carl's
(36:12):
house and try it, do aboxing thing and start punching holes in his
drywall or something and just blaming iton the VR. I saw Chick a
video of a chick trying VR forthe first time, which she punched like
a hole in her microwave. Thoseare the videos I'll watch. I won't
do VR, but I'll happily watcha three hour looped video on YouTube of
(36:35):
people trying VR for the first timeand injuring themselves. Are damaging stuff.
That's the stuff I find I laughat, Like the ones you see like
at the arcades and stuff. Theygot like a leash on you so you
could this is this is the worldnow, man, Nothing but VR,
guys, we gotta take another quickbreak. Stay with Us is Divide Live
on Fox Sports. The Gambler spratsTotal and all the prop that's in the
(36:59):
twein it's the Gambler. You're listeningto the Divide right here on the Gambler.
All right, we're back Divide Live, Fox Sports the Gamble. Let's
get into this last segment here.I know it's February. Pictures and catchers
are reporting soon, but we haveto talk about some baseball because something huge
happened this past week. The Oriolessold. Thank god, thank god.
(37:22):
Yeah, everybody was so excited.Yeah, the baseball community shout outs to
Baltimore that it's huge. Uh,you know, it's it's it's great news.
I hear. You know, CalRipkins included in so the U what
is it? The Angelo Angelicio familywhatever the Oriole family was. They sold
(37:44):
to a group of in like hedgefund investors. Let me find it here
real quick, because I never understandwhen they're like, I know, it's
just a group of rich people,and that's just like a fancy way of
them saying it. It's David.So yeah, the Angelo his family is
selling to the Oriols, to agroup led by private equity billionaires Rubinstein and
(38:06):
Mikegetty, uh for one point sevenbillion and a part of that private equity
billionaires club, which is a clubI'd very much like to join one day.
I know is mister cal Ripkin.Yes, famous Baltimore Oriole shortstop.
He has an insane record for thenumber of consecutive games he's played. He's
a Hall of Fame guy. He'sjust he's he's fantastic. It's got an
(38:29):
asterix on it. He made themcancel the game once because something happened with
him and his wife and Kevin Costner. You talking about when he got kidnapped,
when they got kidnapped. I don'tthink they got kidnapped, his wife
got kidnapped. No. I thinkthe fight was mom that they couldn't get
the lights. Cal Ripkins, momgot kidnapped? You never you don't remember
(38:50):
that story. I'm telling you aboustory. What's better than kidnapping mom?
I mean, geez, maybe thathopefully that they don't wish kidnapping mom's right
now while I'm waiting for my mom. Maybe that's why you say that.
Why you're looking that up to sharethat? I want to share some Mets
news, right, So why wewait for this? You know Todd Fraser
(39:13):
as his show The Daily Ticket,that's chan Bridge Geez foul Territory. Uh,
you know, and he he doesit weekly. He talks baseball.
He's a very in front type guyfor sure. You know, he shared
an experience he had with Gary Cohne, and it was really they were relating
something where it happens a lot inbaseball, like you know, the announcers
(39:35):
like act as if the players aren'tgoing to go back and listen to this,
and that their families aren't listening.So Gary Cohen's been with the Mets
for almost twenty and thirty years,twenty nine years to be exact. Uh,
you know, he was down onthe team, you know, like
a lot of us were. Fanbase was was pretty bad towards some of
the players as well for a bunchof those years, especially once the Phillies
won the World Series. So youknow, he had a He confronted Gary
(40:00):
Cohen, and the fact is,it's not what Todd said because if you
go back and listen to it,you probably wouldn't make that much headlines.
It was all the people on Twitter, all the social media is and he
chuckled at it and it's funny,you know, but the few people I
have an issue with is number one, the fan base in general. Right,
Listen, Gary Cohen's great. Keithis great, but let's not pretend.
(40:21):
First off, Gary Cohen does notrecognize the seventh line. I don't
know if you know that. Sosomething happened in the early seven line was
a little bit different than they aretoday. They're a little more PG for
sure, but they used to havelike a calendar. Some happened with the
seven line and Gary Cohen's wife notliking them, so he refuses to mention
(40:45):
them on the air. Everybody elsementions them on the air. How we
Rose mentions the seven line on theair, Gary Cohen refuses to ever say
their name. He'll say there's agiant contingency of medfans center field or at
away game. He will never callit the heavenline to the point where I
think, now it's a stick.But there was definitely animosity right. Also,
(41:08):
same announcers, same announcers. Fanstold you to take it easy on
the team. They wrote a letter, Gary, Keith and Ron wrote a
letter to the fan base to tellus to take it easy, give this
ownership, be a fan root onyour team. We don't boo all this
(41:31):
nonsense. So they told you howto do your job. Fans, so
a player could tell them how todo their job and vice versa. I
don't understand for why, like KeithHernandez so thin skinned dude, you would
think like, come on, man, you used to go crazy. You
used to like straight up smoke cigarettesand play baseball at the same time.
(41:52):
Oh, you would have if somebodysays something bad about him and punched him
in the MoU And so now you'regonna cry about it because fans are talking
smack about new and what I willshare, what I will share, and
we'll go back on the Orioles thingis like Todd isn't in your face guy?
Like when we're at the comedy night, I was like, do you
want to sit sand He's like,you tell me where to go? Like
he's that kind of guy, Likehe's a coach, he's a straightforward player.
(42:13):
Yeah, this is what I want, man. And he got gassed
up to play against me a cornhole, like a little too much. Oh
I remember the comedy night. Hecame over. He's liked powers, just
can't make up his mind. I'mjust like, look, man, you
want answers, you come to me. Bro, you don't need no I'm
kidding, but no, I Ithink Todd's right for coming over and just
being like, look, you gottabe a fan, man, you gotta
(42:34):
be like and that's the thing,like what announcers like, or at least
announcers that are publicly rooting or saythey're a fan and that they like.
If you're gonna say something like that, then you got to be the first
one to step up and root forthe team even in a slump. You
gotta be the first one to bepositive because the fans can flip easy,
especially in the New York market.Oh dude, I mean there's there's really
exactly all right, So share thismom got kidnapped. So we've talked about
(42:58):
this before. I don't remember,I swear to God because his mother died
in twenty twenty one, and Ithink we mentioned it on the show.
I remember talking about this with youbecause I pulled. I remember this article
damn years ago. I know.But because this is dude, this is
how the article starts. And Idon't want to laugh because this is literally
it's the Associated Press article and itjust says, you know what we're saying,
(43:22):
V or V it's a V.I is the name the v Ripkin,
mother of cow Ripken Jr. Andkidnap victim dies at eighty two.
Oh sorry, so her greatest joys. Imagine that's did germ Germ? This
(43:47):
germ got kidnapped. Yes, yo, when Germ dies at the young age
of ninety four, just imagine firefightingkidnap victim. Imagine making it eighty's that's
no small feet. You make iteighty two years. You probably do a
million amazing things in eighty two years. By two things. When you die,
(44:13):
According to the Associated Press, whenyou die, you're the mother of
Calariken Jr. And you're also akidnapped victim. And then the article goes
on to say in twenty twelve,police says she was kidnapped at gunpoint at
her home in Aberdeen, Maryland,and driven around blindfolded by her abductor.
She was found bound and unharmed abouttwenty four hours later in her car near
(44:35):
her home. The case was neversolved. That's that's crazy. Oh my
god, bro, Billy Ripkin wasa great baseball player. She didn't even
name any of our other kids init, like it's just kidnap victim.
But whatever. I'm glad she survivedand she last will survived the kidnapping.
(44:57):
Yeah, you can't catch that.Yeah, everybody, it's coming for us.
It's right around the corner for someof you. You know two people
that are kind of like cool,like I just understand death more than I
get. My daughter and wife they'rejust like, yeah, it's gonna hap.
Well, I feel like your wifehas a full grasp and understanding.
I can't. I think your daughter'sjust mimicking your wife. I don't.
It'd be hard for a seven yearold to really, but hey, man,
(45:17):
you never know. Man, thekids are freaking you know how kids
are like brutally honest with you.They're like, oh, they're just being
kids, And like twenty years later, like, no, that kid was
right. You know they are.They just saw through my personality and went
right for my weakness. Now you'reabsolutely right. All right, guys,
get ready, save some scratch,save some money. Between now and the
next time we see you, Mikeand I'll have all of our prop bets
(45:40):
and hopefully we'll be able to giveyou some advice to make a little bit
of money on the super Bowl.Guys, have a good week. We
will see you in seven days.This is Divide Live on Fox sports The
Gambler. Enjoy the Pro Bowl,you can wager on it, we're talking
about it. It's the Gambler.
