The Bald Guys are fired up as March Madness reaches its crescendo with all four #1 seeds making the Final Four for only the second time in tournament history. Graham and Scott dissect Duke's dominance after their dismantling of Alabama, who had previously set three-point shooting records against BYU. The guys break down each Sweet 16 and Elite Eight matchup, highlighting coaching decisions (or lack thereof) that shifted momentum in critical moments.
Beyond basketball, the podcast features an emotional segment about Gary Woodland's inspirational comeback story. After undergoing brain surgery less than two years ago—writing farewell letters to his family before the procedure—Woodland finished second at the Texas Open, shooting an incredible final-round 62. This remarkable return to form had both hosts reflecting on the power of perseverance in sports.
The NFL offseason discussion centers on quarterback movement, with speculation about Aaron Rodgers potentially retiring and whether Kirk Cousins might be traded again. The guys debate Pittsburgh's quarterback situation, with Scott boldly predicting they'll draft a quarterback in the first round despite needing immediate playoff success.
The episode concludes with Masters preview talk and a "Scotty's Hot Take" that Rory McIlroy will win multiple majors in 2024, including potentially completing his career Grand Slam at Augusta. With the championship game and Masters week both approaching, the timing couldn't be better for sports fans craving expert analysis delivered with the guys' signature unfiltered commentary.

Yeah, oh man.
So like we were just sayingaynight about 10 45 eastern time,
uh, late start, but final fourset golf was pretty good.
(01:17):
Wasterdamus almost had a pickof the century.
But, graham, before we get intoany of that, how was your

Graham (01:27):
Well you know, can I give a shout-out to Ford Motor
Company?
You guys are amazing.
Scott (01:34):
Oh boy, here comes the first ever Graham Kick Rocks
moment.
I'm just saying if you're goingto do a Kick Rocks moment, bro,
you better get hype.
Graham (01:45):
Oh.
I mean if you want me to gohard in the paint, I'll go.
Scott (01:48):
I mean, if you can't take the heat, get your ass out of
the kitchen.
We on a mission.
I mean, let's go.
Graham (01:59):
Luxury store does this.
Scott (02:01):
When your boy, grammar Police, sells my co-host a
extended warranty, yeah shitain't probably gonna go the
right way.
Sorry, I just had to get thatout of the way first.
My bad, my bad, andy.
It's got nothing to do with you, as far as you know it has
nothing to do with you, andy,relax.
Graham (02:18):
Um, you know, I was noticing these weird noises and
I was like I better get thischecked out now, mind you.
Mind you, I've had my car, forit will be five years and a
month and a half, right.
So I'm like I don't.
My warranty original warrantyfrom Ford shouldn't be on there.
All right, no big deal.
So if that's the case, there'dbe no reason for me to take it
to the Ford dealership.
(02:40):
What mechanic do you use?
He told me, dropped it off,went down there, did the whole
thing, like, we'll get back toyou.
They get back to me and said,hey, we think it's this.
This is not good.
Do you still have a warranty?
And I was like well, I gave youthe information for the
extended warranty that I got.
And he said well, we talked tothem and they said they'll cover
(03:02):
it, but they need verificationfirst from Ford to make sure
that you don't have you're notstill eligible on your existing
warranty.
I'm like, all right, I'll callup Ford, but I'm pretty sure I
don't have it.
Well, long story short, theydid so because I'm still
technically on the warranty.
That ends next month.
(03:24):
By the way, the extendedwarranty I got was like well,
we're not going to pay for it ifyou still are on your original
warranty.
And I'm like, well, this isbullshit, but I get it, you know
, pass the buck.
It is what it is.
So I pick up the car and takeit to the Ford dealership.
Granted, I dropped it off.
It was probably three o'clockin the afternoon and I knew they
(03:44):
weren't going to take a look atit that night.
But it is what it is.
I told the person what Ithought it was.
I gave them the paperwork fromthe mechanic place that I was
just at and said this is whatthey told me.
They're like all right, well,we'll look into it.
Wednesday goes by, thursdaygoes by, friday goes by, cr goes
(04:04):
by, fridays goes by Crickets.
I'm like, all right, now, allthese major dealerships now
they're all hip with technology.
So it's just like I got thatautomated text saying oh hey,
thank you for choosing Ford andsending us your car.
Text saying oh hey, thank youfor choosing Ford and sending us
(04:27):

Click this link and it willtake you to a portal that,
basically, will tell you that wegot your car and everything
that we figure out with it.
I'm like, all right, cool, so Iclick on it.

Now it's almost 3 o'clock,nothing.
I call the number of the personthat they have within the
message that I got in the textNothing.
And I'm like you know what?
I'm going?
To call the dealership itselfand then have them transfer me
over.
Do that get transferred over?
And I'm like, yo, I haven'theard anything.
(05:09):
I left messages like oh, I'msorry, I'm sorry, we didn't get
back to you.
We didn't see the messages.
I'm like, how did you not seethe messages?
I'm like, all right, whatever,fine, that's not the issue.
I was just like hey, I haven'tgotten any information on what's
going on with the car andyou've had my car since
Wednesday.
Yeah, about that.
(05:37):
What do you mean about that?
We haven't looked at it yet.
What?
What do you mean?
You haven't looked at it yet?
Yeah, well, we'll get around toit at the start of the week.
Start of the week.
What does that even mean?
(05:58):
Is that Monday, tuesday,wednesday, oh, you know,
whenever they have time to getto it, time to get to it, you've
.
I'm like you've had my car forfour days already.
If you get to it on Wednesday,you'll have my car for a week.
Like you told me that if it iswhat they say it is and it's
covered by the warranty, youwould get a loaner.
I'm like all right, cool Cause,like I still need to get from
point A to point B.
Like I got a job.
All right, I have a life Likewhat's up?
(06:19):
Yeah, um, yeah.
Well, here's the thing we can'tgive you the loaner until we
actually diagnose your car andto make sure that what the other
mechanic says is the issue isthe issue which would be cover
under your warranty.
And then, therefore, we wouldgive you the loaner.
And I'm like so I'm justsupposed to be going around here
(06:40):
taking Ubers, catching ridesfrom people until you figure it
out?
Well, yeah, pretty much.
And I was like what if I can'tdo that?
She's like well, sir, there'sreally nothing I can do about it
.
I'm like, well, okay, what if Iget a?
What if I rent a car?
She's like you can do that, butyou still have to pay for the
(07:06):
rental yourself.
But then give us theinformation to submit it to Ford
for us to reimburse you.
And I'm like what?
I'm like this is ludicrous.
So I'd have to.
And plus, you know rental carsaren't cheap anymore.
And then, my luck, I'd have toget the insurance with it,
because you know, something'sgonna happen out here.
Dude, right, the a compact nowis like 75 a day.
(07:31):
I'm like I'm not coming out ofpocket 500 just to get from
point a to point b.
At this point it might becheaper just to replace.
It's like, dude, fuming, fuming, fuming.
And I just like, now it'ssunday, obviously nothing, and
you know, because they're notopen.
But I said, oh, I'm like well,what about the other four
dealerships?
Can I just take my carsomewhere else?
(07:51):
And she's like, well, you cantry, but you know they're kind
of backed up too and I'm likehow do you expect someone to
leave your, their, their vehiclefor an entire week?
I mean, it hasn't been a weekyet, but you make it sound like
they're not going to get to ituntil Wednesday.
How can you be that busy?
Why can't you just say, hey,you can drop it off, but we
(08:14):
won't get to it for a week, eventhough this is a warranty issue
?
That is the most ridiculousthing I've ever heard.
Scott (08:21):
Okay, Are you fucking kidding me?
As we continue to listen tothis, I just gotta say this that
was by far the weakest kickrock moment ever of the show.
But oh, the best part about itis it may or may not have a
little bit to do with grammarpolice.
Graham (08:41):
I mean, it really doesn't, but it's just fun to
throw it has nothing to do, Iknow, but it's just fun because
you know it is what it is theaudacity for ford to think like,
oh, we'll get to it when we getto it, it doesn't matter if you
need your car or not.
Are you fucking kidding meright now for dealership?
Scott (08:59):
kick fucking rocks on a side note, listeners, I don't
know if you've noticed, in theapple podcast world or spotify
podcast world, graham switchedthe lever over to we have bad
words because of the f bombswe've been throwing out there in
the last couple episodes.
(09:21):
I never we haven't even talkedabout this, but I was like last
couple we've been throwing themout there.
We might need to, you know,throw the little thing out there
.
I don't know if you did it orif they listened to us and they
were like, oh, my boy's outthere throwing f-bombs.
Graham (09:37):
But whatever you noticed that, yeah, I did.
Scott (09:41):
Well, it was funny Kristen and I were talking about
it a couple weeks ago and mydad and my dad's like, yeah,
y'all been throwing some F-bombsout there.
I'm like, yeah, we might needto change that little switch on
the Apple thing.
And then I looked like a weeklater and you had already done
it.
I was like, love it.
So, with all that being said,let's fucking go.
Graham (10:02):
so, with all that being said, let's fucking go well,
dude, after our last episode,when I was editing it and I'm
listening to it, I was like,yeah, I might have to.
Scott (10:13):
For this episode, I gotta hit the button that says
parental controls, just in caseI mean and, by the way,
instagram followers out there,as you're listening to this
right now, I'm just gonna goahead and accept all of you
telling me thank you for thepicture I put up of Paulina.
I mean, are you kidding rightnow?
(10:34):
Motorboat?
I mean, that's the definitionright there, not only was it an
amazing picture of her femaleparts, she was at Augusta.
I mean, you're welcome.
I took a long time trying tofind the perfect photo.
Not saying I didn't like takingthat much time looking for the
(10:58):
perfect photo, but I acceptDonata.
But I accept Donata and weappreciate all the effort that
you put into finding the perfectphoto for the real.
I mean, when you're going tocall, say, your motorboat, you
better find the perfect pictureof motorboat.

We lost last week.
I forget who even picked, but itwas close, and so last night
I'm talking to Graham and I'mlike dude, minwoo Lee has a four
shot lead over some dude thatwe don't know his name and, I
think, a five-shot lead overScotty Scheffler.
I'm like dude, scottyScheffler's five and a half to
one.
If Minwoo Lee doesn't win thistournament, scotty Scheffler's
(16:12):
winning the tournament.
And I'm playing golf todaychecking the scores and I'm like
, oh well, minwoo Lee's going todo it.
Then I'm on the way home,scores and I'm like, oh, minwoo
Lee's going to do it.
Then I'm on the way home andI'm like I get a text and
they're like, are you kidding me, went Minwoo Lee?
I turn it on PGA tour radio onSirius Scheffler birdies four in
a row.
(16:32):
Minwoo hits it in the water ona par five, makes bogey, one
shot lead with two to go, andI'm like getting fired up.
Right and men.
We ended up getting the dubfirst win on tour.
Ain't mad at it.
Good for him.
The up and down he had on 18,you know, was amazing, but is
(16:57):
that the best story of theweekend?
Not a chance, not a chance, nota chance.
Major winner, us Open winner atPebble Beach.
Gary Woodland had brain surgerya year and a half ago-ish.
Don't quote me on.
(17:18):
It Comes back, has his bestfinish sense.
If you haven't watched fullswing, when you watch the
episode with Gary Woodland, ifyou don't tear up, you're not a
human being, you're a robot.
It was unbelievable.
I mean, my guy wrote his wifeand kids a letter before his
(17:43):
surgery saying you know what youwant to say, just in case.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
And then it's back to this.
Are you kidding me?
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
(18:03):
Comes second place.
I mean absolutely ridiculousStory, incredible.
Don't care if you won, don'tcare about the five and a half
to one.
Gary Woodland, insane, insane.
Nothing else you can say aboutit yeah.
Graham (18:24):
Nothing.
He also shot 62 today, by theway.
I mean just throwing it outthere Ties the course record.
I mean, I mean, is that anygood?
It's ridiculous.
I mean one better thanScheffler, who shot 63 and
lipped out a birdie on the firsthole Not lipped out, but grazed
the edge on the first hole.
Scott (18:42):
Yeah, incredible dude.
And the best thing is it's apublic golf course.
Dude, they were playing Really.
Yeah another public golf course.
Dude In the rounds.
Graham (19:00):
That's a pretty sick public course, yeah, it looked
legit.
Scott (19:03):
I mean you said, would Woodland shoot today?
62, I think, yeah, I mean,yesterday he shot 66.
Round two 64.
Round one 69.
Is that any good?
Yeah, couldn't be happier forthe guy man After watching Full
(19:27):
Swing.
I mean, I knew the brain surgerything but you don't really
realize the situation until youwatch it.
Oh for sure it's insane.
But anyhow, back to my weekend.
Real quick we got we fastforward a little bit.
(19:48):
Well, actually we're stilltalking about a little bit.
You know.
Yeah, many of you that listento the show always remember me
busting graham's balls when Iask him about his and he doesn't
ask me about mine.
So Graham tonight literallyruined the show about five
minutes before we got on air.
(20:09):
And the way Graham ruined theshow, you know he knew how
pumped I was for my new golfclubs and this and that he knew
I was playing golf today and henever asked me how the new clubs
were until literally fiveminutes before the show.
And I was going to get on hereand blast him, you know.
(20:32):
But it is what it is.
Graham (20:36):
Folks, the look on Scott's face, Cause we were
already in record mode.
We're looking at each other oncamera right now, seconds away,
I bring it up, the look on hisface and just how the happy face
just went.
All the muscles just drooped inhis face and just went to a sad
(20:57):
frown Like are you fuckingkidding me?
Right now I was ready to blastyour ass and you're just hitting
me with this right now.
Hey, you know I got distractedwith some other things.
I'm sorry.
Scott (21:10):
I remember, and folks.
By distracted he means afantasy football league with 18
people in it that started theirdraft today in March, before the
draft.
Graham (21:28):
My, my guy.
Scott (21:28):
I'm a diehard fan yeah, diehard D's.
My guy, he goes out and throwsout a hundred dollar bets on my
golf picks.
Okay, me, his best friend.
He trusts me more with hishundred100 wagers on golf bets,
but yet he's questioning.
(21:49):
They have a three-hour timelimit for this draft.
He's questioning a pick in thesecond round for a league that
has a $10 entry fee.
For a league that has a $10entry fee.
I equate that to this when Iworked at Journey all the high
(22:15):
roller gamblers.
You have your player cards,right.
Announcer (22:18):
Yeah.
Scott (22:19):
And back then I don't know what it is now.
To have a red card for Pachanga, you had to, on average, gamble
a million dollars every sixmonths.
Okay, damn dude, we wouldliterally have these people with
(22:39):
thousands and thousands andthousands of comp dollars on
their player card come in thegolf shop, throw a shirt on the
counter and look at me with astraight face go discount,
discount, I get discount.
I'm sorry, you just bet onaverage this and you're asking
(23:04):
me for a discount Once again.
Graham (23:11):
I'm sensing a nationality in that voice.
Yeah, that was pretty bad.
Scott (23:16):
I shouldn't have gone there, but I did.
But you know what we can sayfuck now, so fuck.
So I mean, it is what it is,Sorry.
And if you really want to knowthe funniest thing I've seen all
day, it's a screenshot I sentyou earlier of two oh, I'm not
(23:40):
even going to go there, we'renot even.
Graham (23:42):
No, I don't, yeah, we're not even going to go there.
They need to see the picture.
Scott (23:45):
It's funny, oh just so you're saying I should throw
that on the ground?
No, we're going to leave thatone.
No, it's not.
Graham (23:52):
Anyhow, before we get into March Madness in the
tournament just four away fromTy and Gretzky five away from
breaking his record.
How many more?
Scott (24:05):
games are left, maybe about 10 or 12.
Okay, but pretty amazing, crazything.
And just because we're talkingabout Ovechkin, I saw something
last night and I had toscreenshot it, just because I
really wanted to talk about thisOvechkin this is back then.
(24:27):
It says 13 goals.
Now five goals away from theall-time record has earned $161
million in his 20-year career.
That's the same amount theGiants paid Daniel Jones for
four years.
Ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha.
(24:48):
The Giants paid Daniel Jonesfor four years.
Graham (24:56):
Got a little slow clap for you here you go Insane,
insane Anyhow, moving rightalong.
Scott (25:04):
Bald guys on the bench Listener bracket challenge
Heading into the final fourweekend Dude, your boy's son
Mullet, man Kellen and mybrother-in-law, cody, in first
place.
Graham (25:23):
What's that saying?
Blind squirrel finds a nutevery once in a while A hundred
percent with Kellen.
Scott (25:32):
But I mean, is it really that hard when all four number
one seeds make it For the secondtime ever?
Graham (25:39):
And here's the thing In March, madness, what's been
going on for multiple years, butespecially the last, x amount
upsets are the thing.
First round, even second round,you know, this year there was
only one real upset, the 12-5,but it wasn't really an upset
(26:02):
because the 12 seed was favored.
So I mean it's like this yearthings kind of went how you
think they would go.
I mean, normally when you startthese picks you're like all
right, there's going to be atleast three upsets, what's it
going to be to get those extrapoints?
And nah, it just came down towhat you think it was going to
(26:24):
come down to.
All four number ones are there.
I mean, look, except one region.
It was one versus two.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Announcer (26:33):
Yeah.
Graham (26:33):
And the other division it was one three, so it wasn't
like a lot of the lower seedsadvanced.
Scott (26:40):
Tennessee was a two.
Who's the three?
I think it was Michigan State.
Oh, I thought it said.
Graham (26:46):
I forget.
I thought it was.
Michigan State was a three.
Were they a three?
I?
Scott (26:52):
don't know.
Graham (26:52):
Not important.
Scott (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, like I said, dude, second time ever
All four number ones.
Second time ever all fournumber ones.
Can you name three of the fourteams?
The first time it ever happenedin 2008?
Graham (27:14):
2008 is when it happened .
Can you tell?
Me who won that year?
Announcer (27:20):
I think Kansas, I mean who was good back then,
probably Kansas, north Carolina.
Graham (27:27):
There's two Arizona.
Nope, that's almost 20 yearsago.
Scott (27:36):
I know, I know.
Graham (27:43):
Kentucky, nope.
Louisville, nope, oh, 2008,.
Florida, nope.
All right, I'm not going tomention 8,000 schools, just hit
me with it.
Scott (27:57):
There's one team you would never guess Memphis.
Graham (28:03):
Yeah, no, they had a couple years where they were
really good, Yep, that's why Iwas like dude.
I don't remember what I had fordinner three nights ago.
Scott (28:11):
Yeah, it was Kansas, Carolina, Memphis, and I did
this screenshot that looks likeUCLA Westbrook played for UCLA
right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That was a couple days afterAva was born, carolina fan
playing Kansas and we got thewood.
(28:33):
They do us, yeah that.
I'm trying to think that may ormay not have been Roy Williams'
last game for Kansas, I don'tknow.
Might have been, I have no idea.
It's a problem with time.
Anyhow, let's just jump rightinto the tournament, dude.
Thursday night, let's do it.
(28:54):
Sweet 16 action starts.
Florida goes out and lays thewood to Maryland in their
Cinderella story.
Florida goes out and lays thewood to Maryland and their
Cinderella story.
Then we read today Maryland'scoach says bye-bye to Maryland.
(29:15):
Up to Villanova.
Bama, the most entertaininggame I've seen by performance,
destroys BYU.
I mean, everybody was talkingabout Bama's offense, byu's
offense.
The dudes on Sirius were likethey can't make a total for this
game high enough.
It's like 174 and a half hitswith like seven minutes left.
(29:39):
Is that any good?
But that's not even the story.
The story is Bama.
Did you see the three-pointersthey were making?
I mean record.
Graham (29:52):
Thanks for playing.
Well, yeah, when they shot like60 of them, what do you get?
And they made like half Dude,the crazy thing is.
Scott (30:01):
I saw a stat afterwards If Alabama had not made a single
two-point shot against BYU,Bama would have still won the
game.
Graham (30:13):
That's insane.
Scott (30:14):
They had 93 points on three-point shots and free
throws.
Graham (30:20):
That's why there's the saying you live by the three,
you die by the three.
And what happened?
Scott (30:25):
the next game.
Like we said the night beforethe game way to go, bama.
You just blew your wad.
You're going to get boat racedby Duke.
But speaking of Duke, I meanThursday night, that's been
their closest game.
Yeah, seven, six, seven meanThursday night, that's been
their closest game.
Yeah, Seven, six, seven points,something like that.
But and then they just went outand just laid the wood dude.
(30:50):
Eight and a half I think.
Graham (30:53):
No against Alabama.
Five and a half.
Scott (30:57):
And I took alternate line minus 11 and a half and you're
like, I'm sorry, what?
Graham (31:02):
Oh, oh sorry.
What?
Oh, oh Sorry, let's interruptfor a stat update.
Oh, hey, congratulations.
The Suns lost by almost 40tonight.
Yay, 148 to 109.
Announcer (31:14):
Yay.
Graham (31:14):
Glad.
Scott (31:15):
I took them plus 3.5.
Graham (31:16):
Ooh, wow, I don't even know what I'm gonna wow yeah,
the only reason why I said thatis because that they just kept
getting worse and worse.
When I was talking to youearlier, it's like, all right,
they're down 20.
10 minutes later now they'redown 30.
And now I'm like, oh, theyalmost lost by 40 yay, by 40.
Scott (31:39):
Yay.
Anyhow, Texas Tech dudeArkansas Thursday night Game was
over, Until it wasn't.
Graham (31:52):
Until Dude, most of this tournament.
The first two rounds blowouts.
Not really exciting.
The teams who you think aregoing to win win Not very
exciting.
The third round Alright.
We got some close games.
This is nice, but then you havethe underdogs that not only are
(32:14):
they covering, they're up big.
There's a couple of those games.
They're up almost.
What is it?
16, 18 points with sevenminutes left in the game.
Scott (32:23):
Arkansas was up, I think, 12, 13 points with three
minutes left and Texas Techtakes it to overtime.
Not only did they take it toovertime, but they covered the
over for me and you.
They ain't mad at it.
Yeah, thank you.
(32:49):
Over for me and you ain't madat it, dude.
Then you go.
Let's just jump real quick intofriday, michigan and auburn.
Michigan's laying the wood toauburn dude.
Then auburn goes on a 38 to 7run and during that run, what
does the michigan coach forgetto do?
Graham (33:03):
call a timeout.
Scott (33:04):
There's this thing you get a couple of them, a half,
and you know 30 seconds and youknow whatever.
You just have to do this, andthen they stop the game and by
doing this you just make the teaout of your hands.
I guess he forgot that he wasallowed to do that.
I don't know.
Graham (33:23):
I remember you texting me because I was at a movie.
You're like bro.
They just went on a 33-6 run orto 5 run and homeboy didn't
even call a timeout and I waslike what A normal coach if you
(33:45):
go on even a 14-point run, letalone 20, that's almost like one
of those things.
Scott (33:48):
Automatic, I mean good God, almighty, 31 to 6 run, no
timeouts called.
Announcer (33:55):
Brutal, brutal.
Graham (33:58):
But hey, it's a great learning experience for next
year.
Yeah, dude.
Scott (34:07):
What Tennessee dominated, oh my God, kentucky.
And going into that game,kentucky beat Tennessee twice in
the regular season.
You know the old saying it'shard to beat a team?
Graham (34:17):
what Three times?
Scott (34:19):
in a row, it won't be very hard for Tennessee.
Announcer (34:23):
Dude, then you got.
Scott (34:24):
Houston and Purdue tied with a couple seconds left.
You and I are on the phonetalking watching it together and
I ruined it for you on theinbounds play.
But, dude, michigan State beatsOle Miss and we head into
Saturday.
Dude and the matchup.
Everybody's talking about Bamaand Duke.
(34:46):
Everybody on Vison's talkingabout Bama and Duke.
Everybody on Vison's talkingabout how many points this game.
I mean, I think the total waslike 176 or something.
Graham (34:58):
Yeah, I think it was 177.5.
Scott (35:01):
All I could think is what , when everybody says it's going
to be this?
Announcer (35:10):
go the other way, take the opposite, yeah and it
worked.
Graham (35:16):
It worked, it got the dub yeah, but you parlayed it
with something else no, I hadsecond half.
I had under the yeah, no, no oh, okay, no, I had something my
bad.
Yeah, I forget what the one Ilost.
The one I lost was the yeah, no, no, oh okay, I had something
my bad.
Scott (35:29):
I forget what.
The one I lost.
The one I lost was the latergame last night, whatever the
hell.
Oh, okay, I'm just going to saythis dude Duke beat a quality
team by 20.
Bama blew their wad Thursdaynight or whatever night it was.
What can you say?
Graham (35:54):
I mean.
So when Duke take cares ofHouston, what are you going to
say after?
Scott (35:59):
that Take.
I mean, can you say that onemore time please.
Graham (36:05):
When Duke handles Houston, knock on wood,
hopefully what?
Scott (36:12):
are you?
Announcer (36:12):
going to say then about him.
Scott (36:14):
I'm going to say thank you for making Wasterdamus even
better, because I bet you onNovember 1st at 12-1 to win the
NCAA championship.
That's what I'm going to say.
Graham (36:27):
Now tell me how you really feel as a UNC fan.
Scott (36:30):
Hey, if they lose, I'm going to be happy.
If they win, I'm going to behappy.
It's a win-win situation for meright now.
Okay, Is you know, 10 bucks at12 to one, 120 bucks Is $10 at
12-1, $120, the same as melaughing as Duke loses.
(36:54):
Hopefully, if they're going tolose, they're going to lose in
the championship, when all theirstupid fans are all excited.
But what's worth it, dude?
What's worth it?
There it is.
Graham (37:02):
I mean.
My point is you're not going toroot for them to win the money.
That's what I'm getting at.
No, You'll allow it to happento take the money.
You're not actively rooting towin the money.
I'd rather watch thosecocksuckers lose.
Scott (37:17):
That's what I thought, yeah, hey, I will say this,
though Kudos to the head coach,my guy's done a hell of a job
and it's, I think, third seasonand something else.
You know, we're guaranteed nowto have a first time national
championship winner out of thesecoaches, which is, which is
(37:38):
awesome.
Yeah, I mean calvin sampsondude's been in, has been head
coach for 32 seasons.
Bruce Pearl at Auburn 21stseason.
Homeboy.
Todd Golden with Florida 6thand John Shire, his 3rd.
Pretty awesome that we get afirst-timer right.
(37:58):
I mean sick, sick, agreed.
I mean I don't care, dude,who's the best team in the
country?
Duke, 100%.
That's why alternate lined themlast night minus 11.5, when the
goddamn spread was 5.5.
I sent it to you and you'relike ooh, that's interesting.
Oh, I'm sorry.
(38:19):
Did you not see that Alabamawas throwing it up from half
court and making shots?
Graham (38:27):
Hold on here.
Let's back it up from halfcourt and making shots.
Hold on here.
Announcer (38:31):
Let's back it up here a second.
Graham (38:32):
We need finer distinctions here, folks.
Scott (38:34):
I told, you last night.
Graham (38:35):
Folks, don't.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let's check Wasterdamus herefor a second.
The only reason that he madethat bet was because it was a
free play.
Scott (38:49):
What's that got to do with anything?
Graham (38:52):
Everything.
You could have taken it for,minus 20.
Scott (38:56):
And I would have pushed.
Graham (38:57):
I mean, you would have pushed, but I'm just saying,
like you could have taken it forminus 19.
You weren't actually betting it?
Scott (39:03):
Yeah, I was.
I mean, you made a bet, but itwas a free bet.
I got a no sweat bet.
The reason I got that five wasbecause I lost five on something
else I'm just pointing out thatyou didn't put actual money on
it.
Graham (39:13):
That's what I'm saying.
You didn't even making a betwith free money is just like
saying, oh hey, here you go,here we try it out.
I just I mean, let's be real,let's be real, let's be real.
Anyhow Would you have put yourbecause you always do your $10
bets.
Would you have put $10 on that100%?
All right Now, after the fact,of course, of course, of course,
(39:36):
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott (39:39):
Oh, here's this, folks.
He's trying to call me out,okay.
Graham (39:45):
I'm not trying to call you out, I'm just saying so here
we go.
Scott (39:49):
So we're watching Duke in Arizona the other night and
Arizona's hanging tough andGraham's, like I knew I should
have took in Arizona.
Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah,rah, Like bitter.
Oh, you did not bullshit.
Watch out Vegas.
Graham (40:05):
Mama Cohen, Papa Cohen, I didn't say I Mama Cohen.
Scott (40:06):
Papa Cohen leave.
Graham's about to get struck bylightning because he's a lying
fuck right now.
Oh, is there another F-bomb?
You're welcome, tag.
He's back and forth.
Then Duke goes up and he's likeoh, I knew we were going to win
.
The old saying, if my aunt hadballs, she'd be my uncle.
So as we're watching the gamelast night, here's the best part
(40:28):
.
Graham is like once a piece ofthe action, somehow, some way,
and he's looking at the amountof points Duke's going to win by
, and it's either like six to 10plus money, 10 to 14 plus money
, he goes.
So if I bet a hundred dollarson each, I'm guaranteed to win
like 125 bucks.
And I'm like yeah, graham, yourmath's pretty good right now at
(40:49):
this time of night.
But nothing is ever that simple.
Oh, I'm going to do it, I'mgoing to do it, I'm going to do
it.
No, graham, stop, just shut upand don't bet to bet.
And what happens?
They win by 20.
Graham (41:05):
They beat him by 20.
And I saved them 200 bucks.
Scott (41:10):
Won you money with Mackenzie Hughes?
You did.
You know we pushed on theScotties hot picks this week but
the one win was a three to one.
So we pushed.
So you know I saved you money.
And here you are going to doubtmy strategy on your
quote-unquote favorite collegebasketball team Duke, you know.
Graham (41:34):
Hey, I'm sorry.
My relatives are actuallyfounding members of Duke or Duke
royalty and I'm not even a fanof them.
Scott (41:43):
My bad.
No, I only found out about thisthree and a half years ago if I
would have known about it mywhole life.
Unfortunately, I would havebeen a christian latiner, bobby
hurley.
What's that ugly ass dude'sname grant hill.
I ain't hating on grant hill.
If you hate on grant hill, I'mnot even gonna say what I was
(42:04):
gonna say he like we can't havetwo kickbacks.
Graham (42:08):
Yeah, we're not even going there.
Scott (42:09):
But anyhow, florida and Texas Tech.
Last night, Dude, I'm textingyou, wow, this shit's done.
Florida's toast, I texted it toBT and BT's, like you did,
burnt toast.
And then what happens?
What happens.
Arkansas misses, or Texas Techmisses a couple free throws, the
(42:34):
end Like what the shit?
Mental toughness Could notbelieve it.
I mean, it was like the exactsame thing that happened that
Texas Tech did to Arkansas acouple games earlier.
But I don't know, man.
(42:55):
Yeah, today's games thank God Iwas playing golf and missed the
first one, because that was areal barn burner, with Tennessee
scoring a whopping 15 points inthe first half.
Announcer (43:09):
I know I saw the score was like 34 to 15 at
halftime, tennessee scoring awhopping 15 points in the first
half.
Scott (43:12):
Boo, I know I saw the score.
It was like 34 to 15 athalftime.
I'm like that's got to be wrongNope.
Graham (43:17):
Imagine all the people that took the over on that.
Scott (43:21):
Dude, it wasn't even that high.
Graham (43:24):
I know that's the point it was like 120-something.
That's crazy.
Most of I mean we don't havethe stats right in front of us,
but would you say 80% of thegames hit the over in this
tournament.
Scott (43:44):
I don't know the stats, but who knows, I don't know.
I will say the easiest bet.
Oh, I already said that, butthe second easiest bet last
night was under like 91 pointsin the second half of the Duke
game Second half.
So, like we just said,tennessee got blown out today
and then, fucking, auburn beatsMichigan State by six to advance
(44:08):
.
That game was a blowout theentire way until the end and
Michigan State finally startedmaking a run at them and
Auburn's big man left the game.
He was in and out, in and outwith an elbow injury.
But you know Final Four's, hereMatchups are set.
We got the opening lines, wegot Florida laying two and a
(44:30):
half to Auburn and then we gotHouston getting four and a half
against Duke and it looks likethe schedule is Florida and
Auburn play the first game atsix and Duke and Houston play at
845.
The first game at six and Dukeand Houston play at 845.
So, with that being said, I I'mjust going to go out and you
(44:54):
know my bracket challenge thingI picked Florida to to be
Tennessee in the final.
But after watching Auburn todayand after watching Auburn play
against Michigan the other night, they look powerful, they look
solid.
It all depends on the big manhow bad his injury is.
But if I was going to go out andsay I'm going to Auburn-Duke, I
(45:18):
don't know man.
Florida hasn't impressed melike I thought they were
Yesterday against Texas Tech.
Florida's advantage is theirsize and they didn't use it to
their advantage.
No, that's smart Granted.
(45:39):
Texas Tech came out and weremaking threes like Bama in the
first half, but still theydidn't use that advantage to
dominate the game.
You know what I mean, right?
I don't know.
Ain't nobody being dude?
Dude, I'm trying to throw itout there.
I'm guaranteeing it.
(46:01):
Ain't nobody being dude?
Graham (46:03):
Quit saying it like that .
Scott (46:06):
If they do, he's solid.
Cooper Flagg's.
That guy, solid Player of theyear, should be Freshman of the
year.
Yeah, see you later.
Take your bitch-ass mom withyou, but what are you like?
Graham (46:27):
Sorry, not all of them can be Luca's mom.
All right, who's?
Scott (46:30):
Luca yeah, I know who it is.
You dumb shit.
Graham (46:35):
I just wanted you to say it.
What do you mean?
Who's Luca?
Scott (46:38):
You ruined that shit too Shocker.
Let me show you my shocked face.
Graham (46:42):
Oh, God, I didn't.
Scott (46:45):
God, Graham, Anyhow, what are your picks?
Who do you think?
I mean, we all know you're aDuke's quote-unquote Duke fan
and you're going to pick Duke.
Graham (46:56):
Why are you quote-unquote?
I've been following them for 25years.
Wait, if I do my math correctly, so 92?
Since 1992.
That's 33 years.
Our listeners know why.
I mean, I wouldn't call myselfa bandwagon.
Scott (47:16):
Because of the episode last year when he said name
anybody's name.
Graham (47:20):
You know what?
Scott (47:20):
Or Tripakowski or whatever that dude's name was.
Anyhow, who's your pick?
Duke and Florida.
Graham (47:26):
Just because I don't watch a lot of the games I'm
taking Duke Either matchup Imean any matchup, I think is
going to be solid.
Scott (47:35):
The Duke-Florida matchup, I think, would definitely be
the best Because of the size ofboth teams.
Yeah.
Graham (47:44):
I mean, look, duke's game against Houston is going to
be a good game.
I still think Duke will comeout on top, but I mean it's not
a blowover game.
Scott (47:52):
Anyhow.
Did you see at the end of thegame I don't know if you saw it
when Houston actually won?
Jim Nance was down therehanging out with the boys,
because you know Jimmy Nancewent to Houston, he was hanging
out.
That was pretty sick.
Graham (48:04):
Sorry, Jimmy.
Scott (48:08):
Anyhow Come Saturday.
Sorry, we've been talking for awhile.
We haven't even brought up theNFL.
There's not a lot going onright now.
Literally, what did I say?
Thursday night was exactly amonth from the draft.
So a lot of smoke and mirrorsgoing on right now.
A lot of Aaron Rodgers bullshitgoing on right now.
I don of Aaron Rodgers bullshitgoing on right now.
(48:28):
I don't like it.
I'm over it.
Graham (48:32):
This is the time of the year.
Free agency already happened.
No signings are happening rightnow.
Like it's.
If he decides to sign today,great.
If he decides to wait two weeks, it is what it is Like it's all
going to come down to the draftand, to be honest, or even
after the draft, possible.
(48:53):
Kirk Cousins.
Scott (48:56):
You're not going to trade for Kirk Cousins unless the
Falcons suck up 85% of thatguaranteed money.
Graham (49:06):
That's why they already got to pay him.
Scott (49:08):
Yeah, that's why he traded him.
Graham (49:10):
They already paid him the roster bonus.
Scott (49:13):
If you release him, the Steelers get to do to Kirk
Cousins what they did to RussellWilson last year and sign him
for league minimum.
The Falcons could trade him toeliminate salary cap and not
even get anything in return.
Remember Josh Rosen?
Graham (49:30):
Yeah, you know we've mentioned it before on this show
.
Can we just do a little RIP toJosh Rosen, like Rosen, sorry,
if there's any quarterback I'dever feel sorry for, it's that
guy.
How can you be the number onerated quarterback to come out?
You were the fourth one drafted.
(49:52):
You went to the wrongorganization.
Scott (49:55):
You had no plan aka the Cardinals.
Hired Kingsbury.
Graham (49:59):
You got ran out of the league.
Announcer (50:02):
Did he even make it to the fourth year?
I?
Scott (50:05):
don't even know if he made it four years.
I know he did three.
Was he with the Panthers too?
Graham (50:12):
Yeah, I know he was with the Dolphins, or three teams in
four years?
Yeah, no, I know he was too,but it's just like we said
before especially with thequarterback position, it's all
of you have to be in the rightfit.
Yeah.
Announcer (50:29):
It just wasn't so.
Scott (50:31):
I mean at this point.
Graham (50:32):
So the whole point of this is what I'm about to say.
Scott (50:33):
You brought up Josh Rosen and you didn't even tell the
worst part of my guy's story Hismom.
Graham (50:40):
What's the worst part?
Scott (50:42):
You don't remember this, am I?
Graham (50:47):
wrong?
Oh my God, no, you're not wrongand yes, I did forget about it,
but as soon as you said that,now that I do, like that's just
dude, you know what I gotta sayto that, and because we're we're
explicit content, now peopleare fucking assholes.
(51:10):
Like it, like it really amazesme how people intentionally try
to tear and tear an individualdown.
Scott (51:20):
Folks, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just go
on Google and just search JoshRosen mom story Beyond.
But anyhow, it's brutal.
We were talking about thisearlier, before we even got on.
Rumors came out today aboutKirk Cousins.
You know, rogers is doing whatRogers is going to do.
Max Crosby came out and saidkirk cousins, you know rogers is
doing what rogers is gonna do.
Max crosby came out and saidyesterday he's talked to rogers.
Graham (51:43):
he thinks rogers is gonna retire yeah yeah, to be
honest, I kind of am in thatfield right now with it to be
honest, because, like what, whatis the point of waiting?
Like there's literally no pointright now.
There's no advantage ordisadvantage.
It makes absolutely no sense.
And the longer you drag it outit's kind of like I feel like
(52:09):
he's leaning retire.
So I mean, has Aaron doneenough?
I don't know.
I mean, look, he's obviously aHall of Famer, I get all that,
but like you'd think he'd wantto wash the bad taste out of his
mouth and people's mouths withwhat happened with the Jets the
last two years.
I mean, obviously there was theinjury.
Scott (52:27):
I get that, but I don't think it's his play on the field
that he wants to wash.
It's all the off the field shit, dude.
I'm not coming to OTAs.
I'm not coming to OTAs.
I'm not coming to this.
I'm not coming to that.
Yeah, no, football, granted youand I didn't play football at a
(52:49):
high level, but football andhockey are the ultimate team
sports, dude.
You got to know what I'm doingas it's happening so you can do
what you're supposed to be doingand vice versa.
He's going to a new team in NewYork City and not showing up.
(53:10):
Granted, the injury was awful.
Week one on Monday night thatwas terrible how do you gain
chemistry with your players?
Graham (53:23):
if you like, yeah, you can have off-season workouts.
You can bring the widereceivers to throw with you in
the off-season yeah, that'sgreat.
But you need to be with yourteam and training camp and otas.
I know that you're 42 years oldand you don't want to do that
shit, but you can't come to anew organization, a a new
playbook and just expect to getcontinuity with your other
(53:44):
players through what?
Nope, no way, no, dude Just thinair Like it's not going to
happen.
So if they're not going to dothat I mean, pittsburgh's never
really been in this type ofsituation, but or at least if
(54:05):
they have, it's been so far,long ago that I just can't
remember but like they're justin a spot where it's just like
they didn't get who they want.
I really think they wantedFields, but the Jets just
offered him so much more moneythat they're like we're not
paying that they could haveprobably had Russell, but then
(54:28):
they didn't like his decline thelast seven games of the season
last year.
So that's out the bag.
So all right, now Rodgers is anidea, but now he's kind of
dilly-dallying around.
So now we're left with allright, do we have to draft a guy
or are we trading for cousins?
And the thing is, last year ArtRooney put out the ultimatum and
said hey, do whatever you needto do.
(54:48):
We need a playoff win.
I'm not saying Super Bowl,we're not even going that far.
We need a playoff win.
We haven't had one since 19, 19slack myself since 2015.
That's a long fucking time.
That's gonna be 10 years sincethe pittsburgh sealers who, by
the way, has had the second mostwins in the last 20 years or 10
(55:10):
years, whenever we said in thelast episode, 10 yeah, you can't
have the second most wins inthe last 10 years and haven't
had a playoff win in 10 years.
Can't do it.
So it's like, can we win?
I mean, could we win a playoffgame with a rookie?
Yeah, we could, but when's thelast time the Super Bowl was won
(55:36):
with a starting quarterbackbeing a rookie Tom Brady, anyone
?
Scott (55:40):
The end.
Graham (55:41):
Well, the end.
He came in at the end, though.
Scott (55:44):
The end.
Announcer (55:45):
That was like.
Graham (55:46):
Okay, guy, hey, take me to the finish line, drop me off,
and then I'll walk across thefinish line.
Scott (55:59):
I'll tell you another one .
That was a super old rookie,kurt Warner.
Oh, you're going to give KurtWarner more props than the goat.
Yeah, but that's you saidfailure about Kurt Warner and
just said oh, take me to thefinish line, Tom.
(56:19):
Are you kidding me right now?
Okay, Kurt Warner started thewhole season.
I didn't ask the question youdid.
I just answered the goddamnquestion.
Graham (56:33):
Okay.
Scott (56:33):
And now you're criticizing me.
Graham (56:35):
I'm just you're criticizing me, I'm just.
Kurt wore his specialcircumstance.
Scott (56:39):
Oh, because he wasn't the beneficiary of the goddang tuck
rule or whatever the shit.
Graham (56:45):
Charles Woodson did Folks.
You can see Scott.
Scott (56:48):
So that's why he's better .
Graham (56:54):
Who did Kurt want to replace?
Scott (56:56):
Rodney Harrison ruined the dude's year in a preseason
yeah, come on, let's go shitballs.
And I'm showing you my handsbecause I'm not a cheater like
you, I know dude.
Announcer (57:15):
I know, who it is was it Tripp Edwards?
No, it wasn't Dude I know whoit is.
Scott (57:20):
Was it Trent Edwards?
No, it wasn't.
I don't know who was it.
Do you know Trent who?
Announcer (57:27):
Yeah.
Graham (57:27):
I do.
You were right with the firstname.
Oh god damn it.
Scott (57:31):
Whatever?
Graham (57:33):
It's Trent Green.
You were about to shit yourself, weren't you?
When you said Trent, at first Iwas like no yourself, weren't
you?
Scott (57:41):
When you said Trent, at first, I was like no, that was a
sick Super Bowl too.
Yeah yeah, greatest show onturf, let's go.
Little Torrey Holt, isaac Bruce, it was Marshall.
Yeah, yeah, he was okay.
What's the dude's name thatplayed in Marshall's tournament?
He?
Announcer (58:00):
was all right.
Scott (58:01):
Got security called at Patonga for smoking a blunt in
the bathroom in the mainbathroom in Patonga, oz Akeem
the kick returner.
Yeah, dude, my boy, my boy, dreBly High school, gave him a ride
(58:23):
to school.
His rookie season went in thebig one.
Thanks for playing, wow.
Anyhow, graham, we're an hourinto this.
All I'm gonna say is you guysare signing aaron, rogers,
orousins, and no matter if thathappens or doesn't happen,
you're drafting a quarterback inthe first round.
(58:43):
So just get prepared for it.
It's going to happen.
I know you don't want it tohappen.
Graham (58:55):
I don't want it to happen.
Scott (59:01):
I want a stud defensive tackle Jackson Dart we don't
have a second round pick andbefore we got on the air, you're
like, who drafts a quarterbackin the first round and doesn't
start him right away?
And I'm like, oh okay, graham.
Here's a couple examples.
Let's just number one AaronRodgers.
How long did he sit behindFavre?
Graham (59:20):
yeah, but they weren't contending teams.
Well, the Packers were, but I'mjust.
I mean, like the Chiefs weren'twhen they took Mahomes, they
weren't contenders, they weren'tokay.
Are you laughing, laughing?
(59:43):
They weren't okay, are you?
Scott is giving me the deathstare right now.
Scott (59:50):
Folks just letting you know you're like a man with no
arms.
You can't hang On.
That note, graham, get us outof here.
Everybody enjoy the Saturdaygames of the Final Four.
We'll probably talk to you onSunday night before the
(01:00:10):
championship game, and you knowthe championship game is on
Monday night.
You know what starts the day ofthe championship game.
Right?
It's officially Masters Week.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Oh, okay.
Graham (01:00:32):
I'm like what am I missing now?
Scott (01:00:35):
Oh man, Billy and I were talking about it today Real
quick before we get off.
You know the the thing my oldmember At Greenbrier does the
big pulls for all the majors andstuff.
It's going to be hard not totake Rory in the first year this
year.
Announcer (01:00:53):
Dude.
Scott (01:00:56):
Dude, dude you took the win right out of my sails.
Graham (01:01:01):
I was gonna say that sigh, sigh, sigh.
I hate to say it guys do, butthe fans are behind them, right
now at least.
I mean I was never against Rory.
I really was.
I mean like good dude, I likeRory.
I really was I mean like gooddude, I like him.
(01:01:22):
He's great for the tour.
All that Great.
When he had his mistake AtAugusta how many years ago was
that?
Now?
Has it been 10?
Scott (01:01:30):
years already.
That hit the house.
That I couldn't believe thatwas the house.
It's been 10 years now.
It's been a while, yeah, it'sbeen a while yeah it's been a
while.
Graham (01:01:39):
Yeah, it's been a hot minute.
My point is now it's just likethe set, you know, just times
have changed I'm pulling for himalso even watching full swing.
Scott (01:01:48):
It's just like I want him to do it.
Dude, career grand slam, I wanthim to do it.
You know we're golf fans, wewant to see that shit.
I mean, yeah, but I can goahead and right now and give you
a Scotty hot pick for the PGAchampionship at Quail Hollow
where, where Rory's won the 7million times, go ahead and just
(01:02:12):
count that as a topic.
I mean, don't be surprised ifhomeboy wins.
Graham (01:02:18):
Oh at minus 200.
Okay, A lot of people don't besurprised if homeboy wins.
Oh at minus 200?
Okay, here's the thing.
Scott (01:02:21):
A lot of people don't realize this.
You know where the OpenChampionship is this year it's
in Ireland.
I mean, if it was ever settingup for a season for Rory, if you
could bet right now and I'msure there's a line somewhere I
wonder what the line would be onRory.
(01:02:43):
Major championships over oneand a half.
Announcer (01:02:46):
Yeah.
Scott (01:02:47):
It'd be a lot.
Book it One and a half.
He's winning too.
Graham (01:02:53):
I would think over a half is a lot.
Two, two, wow, scotty, with thedeep cuts.
Scott (01:03:02):
Rory, I can't believe.
Graham (01:03:05):
I just said that in front of everybody.
I love it.
Let's go To be honest.
That's a Scotty's hot take micdrop right there.
There ain't nothing to sayafter that.
Folks, it's been a pleasure.

Can we just grab one and crackone and start this off, right I?
Scott (00:55):

Yeah, oh man.
So like we were just sayingaynight about 10 45 eastern time,
uh, late start, but final fourset golf was pretty good.
(01:17):
Wasterdamus almost had a pickof the century.
But, graham, before we get intoany of that, how was your
weekend?
Graham (01:27):
Well you know, can I give a shout-out to Ford Motor
Company?
You guys are amazing.
Scott (01:34):
Oh boy, here comes the first ever Graham Kick Rocks
moment.
I'm just saying if you're goingto do a Kick Rocks moment, bro,
you better get hype.
Graham (01:45):
Oh.
I mean if you want me to gohard in the paint, I'll go.
Scott (01:48):
I mean, if you can't take the heat, get your ass out of
the kitchen.
We on a mission.
I mean, let's go.
Graham (01:59):
Luxury store does this.
Scott (02:01):
When your boy, grammar Police, sells my co-host a
extended warranty, yeah shitain't probably gonna go the
right way.
Sorry, I just had to get thatout of the way first.
My bad, my bad, andy.
It's got nothing to do with you, as far as you know it has
nothing to do with you, andy,relax.
Graham (02:18):
Um, you know, I was noticing these weird noises and
I was like I better get thischecked out now, mind you.
Mind you, I've had my car, forit will be five years and a
month and a half, right.
So I'm like I don't.
My warranty original warrantyfrom Ford shouldn't be on there.
All right, no big deal.
So if that's the case, there'dbe no reason for me to take it
to the Ford dealership.
(02:40):
What mechanic do you use?
He told me, dropped it off,went down there, did the whole
thing, like, we'll get back toyou.
They get back to me and said,hey, we think it's this.
This is not good.
Do you still have a warranty?
And I was like well, I gave youthe information for the
extended warranty that I got.
And he said well, we talked tothem and they said they'll cover
(03:02):
it, but they need verificationfirst from Ford to make sure
that you don't have you're notstill eligible on your existing
warranty.
I'm like, all right, I'll callup Ford, but I'm pretty sure I
don't have it.
Well, long story short, theydid so because I'm still
technically on the warranty.
That ends next month.
(03:24):
By the way, the extendedwarranty I got was like well,
we're not going to pay for it ifyou still are on your original
warranty.
And I'm like, well, this isbullshit, but I get it, you know
, pass the buck.
It is what it is.
So I pick up the car and takeit to the Ford dealership.
Granted, I dropped it off.
It was probably three o'clockin the afternoon and I knew they
(03:44):
weren't going to take a look atit that night.
But it is what it is.
I told the person what Ithought it was.
I gave them the paperwork fromthe mechanic place that I was
just at and said this is whatthey told me.
They're like all right, well,we'll look into it.
Wednesday goes by, thursdaygoes by, friday goes by, cr goes
(04:04):
by, fridays goes by Crickets.
I'm like, all right, now, allthese major dealerships now
they're all hip with technology.
So it's just like I got thatautomated text saying oh hey,
thank you for choosing Ford andsending us your car.
Text saying oh hey, thank youfor choosing Ford and sending us
(04:27):
your car.
Click this link and it willtake you to a portal that,
basically, will tell you that wegot your car and everything
that we figure out with it.
I'm like, all right, cool, so Iclick on it.
Nothing.
Friday comes by.
I'm like all right, let me givehim a call and see what's going
on.
Give him a call.
Crickets.
All right, leave a message.
Saturday comes around Nothing.
(04:48):
At 10 am, 11, 12, 1, 2.
Now it's almost 3 o'clock,nothing.
I call the number of the personthat they have within the
message that I got in the textNothing.
And I'm like you know what?
I'm going?
To call the dealership itselfand then have them transfer me
over.
Do that get transferred over?
And I'm like, yo, I haven'theard anything.
(05:09):
I left messages like oh, I'msorry, I'm sorry, we didn't get
back to you.
We didn't see the messages.
I'm like, how did you not seethe messages?
I'm like, all right, whatever,fine, that's not the issue.
I was just like hey, I haven'tgotten any information on what's
going on with the car andyou've had my car since
Wednesday.
Yeah, about that.
(05:37):
What do you mean about that?
We haven't looked at it yet.
What?
What do you mean?
You haven't looked at it yet?
Yeah, well, we'll get around toit at the start of the week.
Start of the week.
What does that even mean?
(05:58):
Is that Monday, tuesday,wednesday, oh, you know,
whenever they have time to getto it, time to get to it, you've
.
I'm like you've had my car forfour days already.
If you get to it on Wednesday,you'll have my car for a week.
Like you told me that if it iswhat they say it is and it's
covered by the warranty, youwould get a loaner.
I'm like all right, cool Cause,like I still need to get from
point A to point B.
Like I got a job.
All right, I have a life Likewhat's up?
(06:19):
Yeah, um, yeah.
Well, here's the thing we can'tgive you the loaner until we
actually diagnose your car andto make sure that what the other
mechanic says is the issue isthe issue which would be cover
under your warranty.
And then, therefore, we wouldgive you the loaner.
And I'm like so I'm justsupposed to be going around here
(06:40):
taking Ubers, catching ridesfrom people until you figure it
out?
Well, yeah, pretty much.
And I was like what if I can'tdo that?
She's like well, sir, there'sreally nothing I can do about it
.
I'm like, well, okay, what if Iget a?
What if I rent a car?
She's like you can do that, butyou still have to pay for the
(07:06):
rental yourself.
But then give us theinformation to submit it to Ford
for us to reimburse you.
And I'm like what?
I'm like this is ludicrous.
So I'd have to.
And plus, you know rental carsaren't cheap anymore.
And then, my luck, I'd have toget the insurance with it,
because you know, something'sgonna happen out here.
Dude, right, the a compact nowis like 75 a day.
(07:31):
I'm like I'm not coming out ofpocket 500 just to get from
point a to point b.
At this point it might becheaper just to replace.
It's like, dude, fuming, fuming, fuming.
And I just like, now it'ssunday, obviously nothing, and
you know, because they're notopen.
But I said, oh, I'm like well,what about the other four
dealerships?
Can I just take my carsomewhere else?
(07:51):
And she's like, well, you cantry, but you know they're kind
of backed up too and I'm likehow do you expect someone to
leave your, their, their vehiclefor an entire week?
I mean, it hasn't been a weekyet, but you make it sound like
they're not going to get to ituntil Wednesday.
How can you be that busy?
Why can't you just say, hey,you can drop it off, but we
(08:14):
won't get to it for a week, eventhough this is a warranty issue
?
That is the most ridiculousthing I've ever heard.
Scott (08:21):
Okay, Are you fucking kidding me?
As we continue to listen tothis, I just gotta say this that
was by far the weakest kickrock moment ever of the show.
But oh, the best part about itis it may or may not have a
little bit to do with grammarpolice.
Graham (08:41):
I mean, it really doesn't, but it's just fun to
throw it has nothing to do, Iknow, but it's just fun because
you know it is what it is theaudacity for ford to think like,
oh, we'll get to it when we getto it, it doesn't matter if you
need your car or not.
Are you fucking kidding meright now for dealership?
Scott (08:59):
kick fucking rocks on a side note, listeners, I don't
know if you've noticed, in theapple podcast world or spotify
podcast world, graham switchedthe lever over to we have bad
words because of the f bombswe've been throwing out there in
the last couple episodes.
(09:21):
I never we haven't even talkedabout this, but I was like last
couple we've been throwing themout there.
We might need to, you know,throw the little thing out there
.
I don't know if you did it orif they listened to us and they
were like, oh, my boy's outthere throwing f-bombs.
Graham (09:37):
But whatever you noticed that, yeah, I did.
Scott (09:41):
Well, it was funny Kristen and I were talking about
it a couple weeks ago and mydad and my dad's like, yeah,
y'all been throwing some F-bombsout there.
I'm like, yeah, we might needto change that little switch on
the Apple thing.
And then I looked like a weeklater and you had already done
it.
I was like, love it.
So, with all that being said,let's fucking go.
Graham (10:02):
so, with all that being said, let's fucking go well,
dude, after our last episode,when I was editing it and I'm
listening to it, I was like,yeah, I might have to.
Scott (10:13):
For this episode, I gotta hit the button that says
parental controls, just in caseI mean and, by the way,
instagram followers out there,as you're listening to this
right now, I'm just gonna goahead and accept all of you
telling me thank you for thepicture I put up of Paulina.
I mean, are you kidding rightnow?
(10:34):

amazing picture of her femaleparts, she was at Augusta.
I mean, you're welcome.

Not saying I didn't like takingthat much time looking for the
(10:58):
perfect photo, but I acceptDonata.
But I accept Donata and weappreciate all the effort that
you put into finding the perfectphoto for the real.
I mean, when you're going tocall, say, your motorboat, you
better find the perfect pictureof motorboat.
I mean, like I said, you lookup Wikipedia.
If that ain't the goddamnpicture, I don't know what is

Graham getting bitter Betty.
Oh man, we had to have somelaughs around here.
Anyhow, is that all yourweekend?
I mean, what else you got goingon?
Graham (11:40):
Well, just some craziness at work, but it
doesn't really matter.
Well, some of it could bebeneficial to me because I might
have some more bar shiftscoming up, but other than that,
ain't shit.

Minwoo hits it in the water ona par five, makes bogey, one
shot lead with two to go, andI'm like getting fired up.
Right and men.
We ended up getting the dubfirst win on tour.
Ain't mad at it.
Good for him.
The up and down he had on 18,you know, was amazing, but is
(16:57):
that the best story of theweekend?
Not a chance, not a chance, nota chance.
Major winner, us Open winner atPebble Beach.
Gary Woodland had brain surgerya year and a half ago-ish.
Don't quote me on.
(17:18):
It Comes back, has his bestfinish sense.
If you haven't watched fullswing, when you watch the
episode with Gary Woodland, ifyou don't tear up, you're not a
human being, you're a robot.
It was unbelievable.
I mean, my guy wrote his wifeand kids a letter before his
(17:43):
surgery saying you know what youwant to say, just in case.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
And then it's back to this.
Are you kidding me?
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
(18:03):
Comes second place.
I mean absolutely ridiculousStory, incredible.
Don't care if you won, don'tcare about the five and a half
to one.
Gary Woodland, insane, insane.
Nothing else you can say aboutit yeah.
Graham (18:24):
Nothing.
He also shot 62 today, by theway.
I mean just throwing it outthere Ties the course record.
I mean, I mean, is that anygood?
It's ridiculous.
I mean one better thanScheffler, who shot 63 and
lipped out a birdie on the firsthole Not lipped out, but grazed
the edge on the first hole.
Scott (18:42):
Yeah, incredible dude.
And the best thing is it's apublic golf course.
Dude, they were playing Really.
Yeah another public golf course.
Dude In the rounds.
Graham (19:00):
That's a pretty sick public course, yeah, it looked
legit.
Scott (19:03):
I mean you said, would Woodland shoot today?
62, I think, yeah, I mean,yesterday he shot 66.
Round two 64.
Round one 69.
Is that any good?
Yeah, couldn't be happier forthe guy man After watching Full
(19:27):
Swing.
I mean, I knew the brain surgerything but you don't really
realize the situation until youwatch it.
Oh for sure it's insane.
But anyhow, back to my weekend.
Real quick we got we fastforward a little bit.
(19:48):
Well, actually we're stilltalking about a little bit.
You know.
Yeah, many of you that listento the show always remember me
busting graham's balls when Iask him about his and he doesn't
ask me about mine.
So Graham tonight literallyruined the show about five
minutes before we got on air.
(20:09):
And the way Graham ruined theshow, you know he knew how
pumped I was for my new golfclubs and this and that he knew
I was playing golf today and henever asked me how the new clubs
were until literally fiveminutes before the show.
And I was going to get on hereand blast him, you know.
(20:32):
But it is what it is.
Graham (20:36):
Folks, the look on Scott's face, Cause we were
already in record mode.
We're looking at each other oncamera right now, seconds away,
I bring it up, the look on hisface and just how the happy face
just went.
All the muscles just drooped inhis face and just went to a sad
(20:57):
frown Like are you fuckingkidding me?
Right now I was ready to blastyour ass and you're just hitting
me with this right now.
Hey, you know I got distractedwith some other things.
I'm sorry.
Scott (21:10):
I remember, and folks.
By distracted he means afantasy football league with 18
people in it that started theirdraft today in March, before the
draft.
Graham (21:28):
My, my guy.
Scott (21:28):
I'm a diehard fan yeah, diehard D's.
My guy, he goes out and throwsout a hundred dollar bets on my
golf picks.
Okay, me, his best friend.
He trusts me more with hishundred100 wagers on golf bets,
but yet he's questioning.
(21:49):
They have a three-hour timelimit for this draft.
He's questioning a pick in thesecond round for a league that
has a $10 entry fee.
For a league that has a $10entry fee.
I equate that to this when Iworked at Journey all the high
(22:15):
roller gamblers.
You have your player cards,right.
Announcer (22:18):
Yeah.
Scott (22:19):
And back then I don't know what it is now.
To have a red card for Pachanga, you had to, on average, gamble
a million dollars every sixmonths.
Okay, damn dude, we wouldliterally have these people with
(22:39):
thousands and thousands andthousands of comp dollars on
their player card come in thegolf shop, throw a shirt on the
counter and look at me with astraight face go discount,
discount, I get discount.
I'm sorry, you just bet onaverage this and you're asking
(23:04):
me for a discount Once again.
Graham (23:11):
I'm sensing a nationality in that voice.
Yeah, that was pretty bad.
Scott (23:16):
I shouldn't have gone there, but I did.
But you know what we can sayfuck now, so fuck.
So I mean, it is what it is,Sorry.
And if you really want to knowthe funniest thing I've seen all
day, it's a screenshot I sentyou earlier of two oh, I'm not
(23:40):
even going to go there, we'renot even.
Graham (23:42):
No, I don't, yeah, we're not even going to go there.
They need to see the picture.
Scott (23:45):
It's funny, oh just so you're saying I should throw
that on the ground?
No, we're going to leave thatone.
No, it's not.
Graham (23:52):
Anyhow, before we get into March Madness in the
tournament just four away fromTy and Gretzky five away from
breaking his record.
How many more?
Scott (24:05):
games are left, maybe about 10 or 12.
Okay, but pretty amazing, crazything.
And just because we're talkingabout Ovechkin, I saw something
last night and I had toscreenshot it, just because I
really wanted to talk about thisOvechkin this is back then.
(24:27):
It says 13 goals.
Now five goals away from theall-time record has earned $161
million in his 20-year career.
That's the same amount theGiants paid Daniel Jones for
four years.
Ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha.
(24:48):
The Giants paid Daniel Jonesfor four years.
Graham (24:56):
Got a little slow clap for you here you go Insane,
insane Anyhow, moving rightalong.
Scott (25:04):
Bald guys on the bench Listener bracket challenge
Heading into the final fourweekend Dude, your boy's son
Mullet, man Kellen and mybrother-in-law, cody, in first
place.
Graham (25:23):
What's that saying?
Blind squirrel finds a nutevery once in a while A hundred
percent with Kellen.
Scott (25:32):
But I mean, is it really that hard when all four number
one seeds make it For the secondtime ever?
Graham (25:39):
And here's the thing In March, madness, what's been
going on for multiple years, butespecially the last, x amount
upsets are the thing.
First round, even second round,you know, this year there was
only one real upset, the 12-5,but it wasn't really an upset
(26:02):
because the 12 seed was favored.
So I mean it's like this yearthings kind of went how you
think they would go.
I mean, normally when you startthese picks you're like all
right, there's going to be atleast three upsets, what's it
going to be to get those extrapoints?
And nah, it just came down towhat you think it was going to
(26:24):
come down to.
All four number ones are there.
I mean, look, except one region.
It was one versus two.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Announcer (26:33):
Yeah.
Graham (26:33):
And the other division it was one three, so it wasn't
like a lot of the lower seedsadvanced.
Scott (26:40):
Tennessee was a two.
Who's the three?
I think it was Michigan State.
Oh, I thought it said.
Graham (26:46):
I forget.
I thought it was.
Michigan State was a three.
Were they a three?
I?
Scott (26:52):
don't know.
Graham (26:52):
Not important.
Scott (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, like I said, dude, second time ever
All four number ones.
Second time ever all fournumber ones.
Can you name three of the fourteams?
The first time it ever happenedin 2008?
Graham (27:14):
2008 is when it happened .
Can you tell?
Me who won that year?
Announcer (27:20):
I think Kansas, I mean who was good back then,
probably Kansas, north Carolina.
Graham (27:27):
There's two Arizona.
Nope, that's almost 20 yearsago.
Scott (27:36):
I know, I know.
Graham (27:43):
Kentucky, nope.
Louisville, nope, oh, 2008,.
Florida, nope.
All right, I'm not going tomention 8,000 schools, just hit
me with it.
Scott (27:57):
There's one team you would never guess Memphis.
Graham (28:03):
Yeah, no, they had a couple years where they were
really good, Yep, that's why Iwas like dude.
I don't remember what I had fordinner three nights ago.
Scott (28:11):
Yeah, it was Kansas, Carolina, Memphis, and I did
this screenshot that looks likeUCLA Westbrook played for UCLA
right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That was a couple days afterAva was born, carolina fan
playing Kansas and we got thewood.
(28:33):
They do us, yeah that.
I'm trying to think that may ormay not have been Roy Williams'
last game for Kansas, I don'tknow.
Might have been, I have no idea.
It's a problem with time.
Anyhow, let's just jump rightinto the tournament, dude.
Thursday night, let's do it.
(28:54):
Sweet 16 action starts.
Florida goes out and lays thewood to Maryland in their
Cinderella story.
Florida goes out and lays thewood to Maryland and their
Cinderella story.
Then we read today Maryland'scoach says bye-bye to Maryland.
(29:15):
Up to Villanova.
Bama, the most entertaininggame I've seen by performance,
destroys BYU.
I mean, everybody was talkingabout Bama's offense, byu's
offense.
The dudes on Sirius were likethey can't make a total for this
game high enough.
It's like 174 and a half hitswith like seven minutes left.
(29:39):
Is that any good?
But that's not even the story.
The story is Bama.
Did you see the three-pointersthey were making?
I mean record.
Graham (29:52):
Thanks for playing.
Well, yeah, when they shot like60 of them, what do you get?
And they made like half Dude,the crazy thing is.
Scott (30:01):
I saw a stat afterwards If Alabama had not made a single
two-point shot against BYU,Bama would have still won the
game.
Graham (30:13):
That's insane.
Scott (30:14):
They had 93 points on three-point shots and free
throws.
Graham (30:20):
That's why there's the saying you live by the three,
you die by the three.
And what happened?
Scott (30:25):
the next game.
Like we said the night beforethe game way to go, bama.
You just blew your wad.
You're going to get boat racedby Duke.
But speaking of Duke, I meanThursday night, that's been
their closest game.
Yeah, seven, six, seven meanThursday night, that's been
their closest game.
Yeah, Seven, six, seven points,something like that.
But and then they just went outand just laid the wood dude.
(30:50):
Eight and a half I think.
Graham (30:53):
No against Alabama.
Five and a half.
Scott (30:57):
And I took alternate line minus 11 and a half and you're
like, I'm sorry, what?
Graham (31:02):
Oh, oh sorry.
What?
Oh, oh Sorry, let's interruptfor a stat update.
Oh, hey, congratulations.
The Suns lost by almost 40tonight.
Yay, 148 to 109.
Announcer (31:14):
Yay.
Graham (31:14):
Glad.
Scott (31:15):
I took them plus 3.5.
Graham (31:16):
Ooh, wow, I don't even know what I'm gonna wow yeah,
the only reason why I said thatis because that they just kept
getting worse and worse.
When I was talking to youearlier, it's like, all right,
they're down 20.
10 minutes later now they'redown 30.
And now I'm like, oh, theyalmost lost by 40 yay, by 40.
Scott (31:39):
Yay.
Anyhow, Texas Tech dudeArkansas Thursday night Game was
over, Until it wasn't.
Graham (31:52):
Until Dude, most of this tournament.
The first two rounds blowouts.
Not really exciting.
The teams who you think aregoing to win win Not very
exciting.
The third round Alright.
We got some close games.
This is nice, but then you havethe underdogs that not only are
(32:14):
they covering, they're up big.
There's a couple of those games.
They're up almost.
What is it?
16, 18 points with sevenminutes left in the game.
Scott (32:23):
Arkansas was up, I think, 12, 13 points with three
minutes left and Texas Techtakes it to overtime.
Not only did they take it toovertime, but they covered the
over for me and you.
They ain't mad at it.
Yeah, thank you.
(32:49):
Over for me and you ain't madat it, dude.
Then you go.
Let's just jump real quick intofriday, michigan and auburn.
Michigan's laying the wood toauburn dude.
Then auburn goes on a 38 to 7run and during that run, what
does the michigan coach forgetto do?
Graham (33:03):
call a timeout.
Scott (33:04):
There's this thing you get a couple of them, a half,
and you know 30 seconds and youknow whatever.
You just have to do this, andthen they stop the game and by
doing this you just make the teaout of your hands.
I guess he forgot that he wasallowed to do that.
I don't know.
Graham (33:23):
I remember you texting me because I was at a movie.
You're like bro.
They just went on a 33-6 run orto 5 run and homeboy didn't
even call a timeout and I waslike what A normal coach if you
(33:45):
go on even a 14-point run, letalone 20, that's almost like one
of those things.
Scott (33:48):
Automatic, I mean good God, almighty, 31 to 6 run, no
timeouts called.
Announcer (33:55):
Brutal, brutal.
Graham (33:58):
But hey, it's a great learning experience for next
year.
Yeah, dude.
Scott (34:07):
What Tennessee dominated, oh my God, kentucky.
And going into that game,kentucky beat Tennessee twice in
the regular season.
You know the old saying it'shard to beat a team?
Graham (34:17):
what Three times?
Scott (34:19):
in a row, it won't be very hard for Tennessee.
Announcer (34:23):
Dude, then you got.
Scott (34:24):
Houston and Purdue tied with a couple seconds left.
You and I are on the phonetalking watching it together and
I ruined it for you on theinbounds play.
But, dude, michigan State beatsOle Miss and we head into
Saturday.
Dude and the matchup.
Everybody's talking about Bamaand Duke.
(34:46):
Everybody on Vison's talkingabout Bama and Duke.
Everybody on Vison's talkingabout how many points this game.
I mean, I think the total waslike 176 or something.
Graham (34:58):
Yeah, I think it was 177.5.
Scott (35:01):
All I could think is what , when everybody says it's going
to be this?
Announcer (35:10):
go the other way, take the opposite, yeah and it
worked.
Graham (35:16):
It worked, it got the dub yeah, but you parlayed it
with something else no, I hadsecond half.
I had under the yeah, no, no oh, okay, no, I had something my
bad.
Yeah, I forget what the one Ilost.
The one I lost was the yeah, no, no, oh okay, I had something
my bad.
Scott (35:29):
I forget what.
The one I lost.
The one I lost was the latergame last night, whatever the
hell.
Oh, okay, I'm just going to saythis dude Duke beat a quality
team by 20.
Bama blew their wad Thursdaynight or whatever night it was.
What can you say?
Graham (35:54):
I mean.
So when Duke take cares ofHouston, what are you going to
say after?
Scott (35:59):
that Take.
I mean, can you say that onemore time please.
Graham (36:05):
When Duke handles Houston, knock on wood,
hopefully what?
Scott (36:12):
are you?
Announcer (36:12):
going to say then about him.
Scott (36:14):
I'm going to say thank you for making Wasterdamus even
better, because I bet you onNovember 1st at 12-1 to win the
NCAA championship.
That's what I'm going to say.
Graham (36:27):
Now tell me how you really feel as a UNC fan.
Scott (36:30):
Hey, if they lose, I'm going to be happy.
If they win, I'm going to behappy.
It's a win-win situation for meright now.
Okay, Is you know, 10 bucks at12 to one, 120 bucks Is $10 at
12-1, $120, the same as melaughing as Duke loses.
(36:54):
Hopefully, if they're going tolose, they're going to lose in
the championship, when all theirstupid fans are all excited.
But what's worth it, dude?
What's worth it?
There it is.
Graham (37:02):
I mean.
My point is you're not going toroot for them to win the money.
That's what I'm getting at.
No, You'll allow it to happento take the money.
You're not actively rooting towin the money.
I'd rather watch thosecocksuckers lose.
Scott (37:17):
That's what I thought, yeah, hey, I will say this,
though Kudos to the head coach,my guy's done a hell of a job
and it's, I think, third seasonand something else.
You know, we're guaranteed nowto have a first time national
championship winner out of thesecoaches, which is, which is
(37:38):
awesome.
Yeah, I mean calvin sampsondude's been in, has been head
coach for 32 seasons.
Bruce Pearl at Auburn 21stseason.
Homeboy.
Todd Golden with Florida 6thand John Shire, his 3rd.
Pretty awesome that we get afirst-timer right.
(37:58):
I mean sick, sick, agreed.
I mean I don't care, dude,who's the best team in the
country?
Duke, 100%.
That's why alternate lined themlast night minus 11.5, when the
goddamn spread was 5.5.
I sent it to you and you'relike ooh, that's interesting.
Oh, I'm sorry.
(38:19):
Did you not see that Alabamawas throwing it up from half
court and making shots?
Graham (38:27):
Hold on here.
Let's back it up from halfcourt and making shots.
Hold on here.
Announcer (38:31):
Let's back it up here a second.
Graham (38:32):
We need finer distinctions here, folks.
Scott (38:34):
I told, you last night.
Graham (38:35):
Folks, don't.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let's check Wasterdamus herefor a second.
The only reason that he madethat bet was because it was a
free play.
Scott (38:49):
What's that got to do with anything?
Graham (38:52):
Everything.
You could have taken it for,minus 20.
Scott (38:56):
And I would have pushed.
Graham (38:57):
I mean, you would have pushed, but I'm just saying,
like you could have taken it forminus 19.
You weren't actually betting it?
Scott (39:03):
Yeah, I was.
I mean, you made a bet, but itwas a free bet.
I got a no sweat bet.
The reason I got that five wasbecause I lost five on something
else I'm just pointing out thatyou didn't put actual money on
it.
Graham (39:13):
That's what I'm saying.
You didn't even making a betwith free money is just like
saying, oh hey, here you go,here we try it out.
I just I mean, let's be real,let's be real, let's be real.
Anyhow Would you have put yourbecause you always do your $10
bets.
Would you have put $10 on that100%?
All right Now, after the fact,of course, of course, of course,
(39:36):
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott (39:39):
Oh, here's this, folks.
He's trying to call me out,okay.
Graham (39:45):
I'm not trying to call you out, I'm just saying so here
we go.
Scott (39:49):
So we're watching Duke in Arizona the other night and
Arizona's hanging tough andGraham's, like I knew I should
have took in Arizona.
Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah,rah, Like bitter.
Oh, you did not bullshit.
Watch out Vegas.
Graham (40:05):
Mama Cohen, Papa Cohen, I didn't say I Mama Cohen.
Scott (40:06):
Papa Cohen leave.
Graham's about to get struck bylightning because he's a lying
fuck right now.
Oh, is there another F-bomb?
You're welcome, tag.
He's back and forth.
Then Duke goes up and he's likeoh, I knew we were going to win
.
The old saying, if my aunt hadballs, she'd be my uncle.
So as we're watching the gamelast night, here's the best part
(40:28):
.
Graham is like once a piece ofthe action, somehow, some way,
and he's looking at the amountof points Duke's going to win by
, and it's either like six to 10plus money, 10 to 14 plus money
, he goes.
So if I bet a hundred dollarson each, I'm guaranteed to win
like 125 bucks.
And I'm like yeah, graham, yourmath's pretty good right now at
(40:49):
this time of night.
But nothing is ever that simple.
Oh, I'm going to do it, I'mgoing to do it, I'm going to do
it.
No, graham, stop, just shut upand don't bet to bet.
And what happens?
They win by 20.
Graham (41:05):
They beat him by 20.
And I saved them 200 bucks.
Scott (41:10):
Won you money with Mackenzie Hughes?
You did.
You know we pushed on theScotties hot picks this week but
the one win was a three to one.
So we pushed.
So you know I saved you money.
And here you are going to doubtmy strategy on your
quote-unquote favorite collegebasketball team Duke, you know.
Graham (41:34):
Hey, I'm sorry.
My relatives are actuallyfounding members of Duke or Duke
royalty and I'm not even a fanof them.
Scott (41:43):
My bad.
No, I only found out about thisthree and a half years ago if I
would have known about it mywhole life.
Unfortunately, I would havebeen a christian latiner, bobby
hurley.
What's that ugly ass dude'sname grant hill.
I ain't hating on grant hill.
If you hate on grant hill, I'mnot even gonna say what I was
(42:04):
gonna say he like we can't havetwo kickbacks.
Graham (42:08):
Yeah, we're not even going there.
Scott (42:09):
But anyhow, florida and Texas Tech.
Last night, Dude, I'm textingyou, wow, this shit's done.
Florida's toast, I texted it toBT and BT's, like you did,
burnt toast.
And then what happens?
What happens.
Arkansas misses, or Texas Techmisses a couple free throws, the
(42:34):
end Like what the shit?
Mental toughness Could notbelieve it.
I mean, it was like the exactsame thing that happened that
Texas Tech did to Arkansas acouple games earlier.
But I don't know, man.
(42:55):
Yeah, today's games thank God Iwas playing golf and missed the
first one, because that was areal barn burner, with Tennessee
scoring a whopping 15 points inthe first half.
Announcer (43:09):
I know I saw the score was like 34 to 15 at
halftime, tennessee scoring awhopping 15 points in the first
half.
Scott (43:12):
Boo, I know I saw the score.
It was like 34 to 15 athalftime.
I'm like that's got to be wrongNope.
Graham (43:17):
Imagine all the people that took the over on that.
Scott (43:21):
Dude, it wasn't even that high.
Graham (43:24):
I know that's the point it was like 120-something.
That's crazy.
Most of I mean we don't havethe stats right in front of us,
but would you say 80% of thegames hit the over in this
tournament.
Scott (43:44):
I don't know the stats, but who knows, I don't know.
I will say the easiest bet.
Oh, I already said that, butthe second easiest bet last
night was under like 91 pointsin the second half of the Duke
game Second half.
So, like we just said,tennessee got blown out today
and then, fucking, auburn beatsMichigan State by six to advance
(44:08):
.
That game was a blowout theentire way until the end and
Michigan State finally startedmaking a run at them and
Auburn's big man left the game.
He was in and out, in and outwith an elbow injury.
But you know Final Four's, hereMatchups are set.
We got the opening lines, wegot Florida laying two and a
(44:30):
half to Auburn and then we gotHouston getting four and a half
against Duke and it looks likethe schedule is Florida and
Auburn play the first game atsix and Duke and Houston play at
845.
The first game at six and Dukeand Houston play at 845.
So, with that being said, I I'mjust going to go out and you
(44:54):
know my bracket challenge thingI picked Florida to to be
Tennessee in the final.
But after watching Auburn todayand after watching Auburn play
against Michigan the other night, they look powerful, they look
solid.
It all depends on the big manhow bad his injury is.
But if I was going to go out andsay I'm going to Auburn-Duke, I
(45:18):
don't know man.
Florida hasn't impressed melike I thought they were
Yesterday against Texas Tech.
Florida's advantage is theirsize and they didn't use it to
their advantage.
No, that's smart Granted.
(45:39):
Texas Tech came out and weremaking threes like Bama in the
first half, but still theydidn't use that advantage to
dominate the game.
You know what I mean, right?
I don't know.
Ain't nobody being dude?
Dude, I'm trying to throw itout there.
I'm guaranteeing it.
(46:01):
Ain't nobody being dude?
Graham (46:03):
Quit saying it like that .
Scott (46:06):
If they do, he's solid.
Cooper Flagg's.
That guy, solid Player of theyear, should be Freshman of the
year.
Yeah, see you later.
Take your bitch-ass mom withyou, but what are you like?
Graham (46:27):
Sorry, not all of them can be Luca's mom.
All right, who's?
Scott (46:30):
Luca yeah, I know who it is.
You dumb shit.
Graham (46:35):
I just wanted you to say it.
What do you mean?
Who's Luca?
Scott (46:38):
You ruined that shit too Shocker.
Let me show you my shocked face.
Graham (46:42):
Oh, God, I didn't.
Scott (46:45):
God, Graham, Anyhow, what are your picks?
Who do you think?
I mean, we all know you're aDuke's quote-unquote Duke fan
and you're going to pick Duke.
Graham (46:56):
Why are you quote-unquote?
I've been following them for 25years.
Wait, if I do my math correctly, so 92?
Since 1992.
That's 33 years.
Our listeners know why.
I mean, I wouldn't call myselfa bandwagon.
Scott (47:16):
Because of the episode last year when he said name
anybody's name.
Graham (47:20):
You know what?
Scott (47:20):
Or Tripakowski or whatever that dude's name was.
Anyhow, who's your pick?
Duke and Florida.
Graham (47:26):
Just because I don't watch a lot of the games I'm
taking Duke Either matchup Imean any matchup, I think is
going to be solid.
Scott (47:35):
The Duke-Florida matchup, I think, would definitely be
the best Because of the size ofboth teams.
Yeah.
Graham (47:44):
I mean, look, duke's game against Houston is going to
be a good game.
I still think Duke will comeout on top, but I mean it's not
a blowover game.
Scott (47:52):
Anyhow.
Did you see at the end of thegame I don't know if you saw it
when Houston actually won?
Jim Nance was down therehanging out with the boys,
because you know Jimmy Nancewent to Houston, he was hanging
out.
That was pretty sick.
Graham (48:04):
Sorry, Jimmy.
Scott (48:08):
Anyhow Come Saturday.
Sorry, we've been talking for awhile.
We haven't even brought up theNFL.
There's not a lot going onright now.
Literally, what did I say?
Thursday night was exactly amonth from the draft.
So a lot of smoke and mirrorsgoing on right now.
A lot of Aaron Rodgers bullshitgoing on right now.
I don of Aaron Rodgers bullshitgoing on right now.
(48:28):
I don't like it.
I'm over it.
Graham (48:32):
This is the time of the year.
Free agency already happened.
No signings are happening rightnow.
Like it's.
If he decides to sign today,great.
If he decides to wait two weeks, it is what it is Like it's all
going to come down to the draftand, to be honest, or even
after the draft, possible.
(48:53):
Kirk Cousins.
Scott (48:56):
You're not going to trade for Kirk Cousins unless the
Falcons suck up 85% of thatguaranteed money.
Graham (49:06):
That's why they already got to pay him.
Scott (49:08):
Yeah, that's why he traded him.
Graham (49:10):
They already paid him the roster bonus.
Scott (49:13):
If you release him, the Steelers get to do to Kirk
Cousins what they did to RussellWilson last year and sign him
for league minimum.
The Falcons could trade him toeliminate salary cap and not
even get anything in return.
Remember Josh Rosen?
Graham (49:30):
Yeah, you know we've mentioned it before on this show
.
Can we just do a little RIP toJosh Rosen, like Rosen, sorry,
if there's any quarterback I'dever feel sorry for, it's that
guy.
How can you be the number onerated quarterback to come out?
You were the fourth one drafted.
(49:52):
You went to the wrongorganization.
Scott (49:55):
You had no plan aka the Cardinals.
Hired Kingsbury.
Graham (49:59):
You got ran out of the league.
Announcer (50:02):
Did he even make it to the fourth year?
I?
Scott (50:05):
don't even know if he made it four years.
I know he did three.
Was he with the Panthers too?
Graham (50:12):
Yeah, I know he was with the Dolphins, or three teams in
four years?
Yeah, no, I know he was too,but it's just like we said
before especially with thequarterback position, it's all
of you have to be in the rightfit.
Yeah.
Announcer (50:29):
It just wasn't so.
Scott (50:31):
I mean at this point.
Graham (50:32):
So the whole point of this is what I'm about to say.
Scott (50:33):
You brought up Josh Rosen and you didn't even tell the
worst part of my guy's story Hismom.
Graham (50:40):
What's the worst part?
Scott (50:42):
You don't remember this, am I?
Graham (50:47):
wrong?
Oh my God, no, you're not wrongand yes, I did forget about it,
but as soon as you said that,now that I do, like that's just
dude, you know what I gotta sayto that, and because we're we're
explicit content, now peopleare fucking assholes.
(51:10):
Like it, like it really amazesme how people intentionally try
to tear and tear an individualdown.
Scott (51:20):
Folks, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just go
on Google and just search JoshRosen mom story Beyond.
But anyhow, it's brutal.
We were talking about thisearlier, before we even got on.
Rumors came out today aboutKirk Cousins.
You know, rogers is doing whatRogers is going to do.
Max Crosby came out and saidkirk cousins, you know rogers is
doing what rogers is gonna do.
Max crosby came out and saidyesterday he's talked to rogers.
Graham (51:43):
he thinks rogers is gonna retire yeah yeah, to be
honest, I kind of am in thatfield right now with it to be
honest, because, like what, whatis the point of waiting?
Like there's literally no pointright now.
There's no advantage ordisadvantage.
It makes absolutely no sense.
And the longer you drag it outit's kind of like I feel like
(52:09):
he's leaning retire.
So I mean, has Aaron doneenough?
I don't know.
I mean, look, he's obviously aHall of Famer, I get all that,
but like you'd think he'd wantto wash the bad taste out of his
mouth and people's mouths withwhat happened with the Jets the
last two years.
I mean, obviously there was theinjury.
Scott (52:27):
I get that, but I don't think it's his play on the field
that he wants to wash.
It's all the off the field shit, dude.
I'm not coming to OTAs.
I'm not coming to OTAs.
I'm not coming to this.
I'm not coming to that.
Yeah, no, football, granted youand I didn't play football at a
(52:49):
high level, but football andhockey are the ultimate team
sports, dude.
You got to know what I'm doingas it's happening so you can do
what you're supposed to be doingand vice versa.
He's going to a new team in NewYork City and not showing up.
(53:10):
Granted, the injury was awful.
Week one on Monday night thatwas terrible how do you gain
chemistry with your players?
Graham (53:23):
if you like, yeah, you can have off-season workouts.
You can bring the widereceivers to throw with you in
the off-season yeah, that'sgreat.
But you need to be with yourteam and training camp and otas.
I know that you're 42 years oldand you don't want to do that
shit, but you can't come to anew organization, a a new
playbook and just expect to getcontinuity with your other
(53:44):
players through what?
Nope, no way, no, dude Just thinair Like it's not going to
happen.
So if they're not going to dothat I mean, pittsburgh's never
really been in this type ofsituation, but or at least if
(54:05):
they have, it's been so far,long ago that I just can't
remember but like they're justin a spot where it's just like
they didn't get who they want.
I really think they wantedFields, but the Jets just
offered him so much more moneythat they're like we're not
paying that they could haveprobably had Russell, but then
(54:28):
they didn't like his decline thelast seven games of the season
last year.
So that's out the bag.
So all right, now Rodgers is anidea, but now he's kind of
dilly-dallying around.
So now we're left with allright, do we have to draft a guy
or are we trading for cousins?
And the thing is, last year ArtRooney put out the ultimatum and
said hey, do whatever you needto do.
(54:48):
We need a playoff win.
I'm not saying Super Bowl,we're not even going that far.
We need a playoff win.
We haven't had one since 19, 19slack myself since 2015.
That's a long fucking time.
That's gonna be 10 years sincethe pittsburgh sealers who, by
the way, has had the second mostwins in the last 20 years or 10
(55:10):
years, whenever we said in thelast episode, 10 yeah, you can't
have the second most wins inthe last 10 years and haven't
had a playoff win in 10 years.
Can't do it.
So it's like, can we win?
I mean, could we win a playoffgame with a rookie?
Yeah, we could, but when's thelast time the Super Bowl was won
(55:36):
with a starting quarterbackbeing a rookie Tom Brady, anyone
?
Scott (55:40):
The end.
Graham (55:41):
Well, the end.
He came in at the end, though.
Scott (55:44):
The end.
Announcer (55:45):
That was like.
Graham (55:46):
Okay, guy, hey, take me to the finish line, drop me off,
and then I'll walk across thefinish line.
Scott (55:59):
I'll tell you another one .
That was a super old rookie,kurt Warner.
Oh, you're going to give KurtWarner more props than the goat.
Yeah, but that's you saidfailure about Kurt Warner and
just said oh, take me to thefinish line, Tom.
(56:19):
Are you kidding me right now?
Okay, Kurt Warner started thewhole season.
I didn't ask the question youdid.
I just answered the goddamnquestion.
Graham (56:33):
Okay.
Scott (56:33):
And now you're criticizing me.
Graham (56:35):
I'm just you're criticizing me, I'm just.
Kurt wore his specialcircumstance.
Scott (56:39):
Oh, because he wasn't the beneficiary of the goddang tuck
rule or whatever the shit.
Graham (56:45):
Charles Woodson did Folks.
You can see Scott.
Scott (56:48):
So that's why he's better .
Graham (56:54):
Who did Kurt want to replace?
Scott (56:56):
Rodney Harrison ruined the dude's year in a preseason
yeah, come on, let's go shitballs.
And I'm showing you my handsbecause I'm not a cheater like
you, I know dude.
Announcer (57:15):
I know, who it is was it Tripp Edwards?
No, it wasn't Dude I know whoit is.
Scott (57:20):

No, it wasn't.
I don't know who was it.
Do you know Trent who?
Announcer (57:27):

You were right with the firstname.
Oh god damn it.
Scott (57:31):
Whatever?
Graham (57:33):
It's Trent Green.
You were about to shit yourself, weren't you?
When you said Trent, at first Iwas like no yourself, weren't
you?
Scott (57:41):
When you said Trent, at first, I was like no, that was a
sick Super Bowl too.
Yeah yeah, greatest show onturf, let's go.
Little Torrey Holt, isaac Bruce, it was Marshall.
Yeah, yeah, he was okay.
What's the dude's name thatplayed in Marshall's tournament?
He?
Announcer (58:00):

Got security called at Patonga for smoking a blunt in
the bathroom in the mainbathroom in Patonga, oz Akeem

(58:23):
to school.
His rookie season went in thebig one.
Thanks for playing, wow.
Anyhow, graham, we're an hourinto this.
All I'm gonna say is you guysare signing aaron, rogers,
orousins, and no matter if thathappens or doesn't happen,
you're drafting a quarterback inthe first round.
(58:43):
So just get prepared for it.
It's going to happen.
I know you don't want it tohappen.
Graham (58:55):
I don't want it to happen.
Scott (59:01):
I want a stud defensive tackle Jackson Dart we don't
have a second round pick andbefore we got on the air, you're
like, who drafts a quarterbackin the first round and doesn't
start him right away?
And I'm like, oh okay, graham.
Here's a couple examples.
Let's just number one AaronRodgers.
How long did he sit behindFavre?
Graham (59:20):
yeah, but they weren't contending teams.
Well, the Packers were, but I'mjust.
I mean, like the Chiefs weren'twhen they took Mahomes, they
weren't contenders, they weren'tokay.
Are you laughing, laughing?
(59:43):
They weren't okay, are you?
Scott is giving me the deathstare right now.
Scott (59:50):

Oh man, Billy and I were talking about it today Real
quick before we get off.
You know the the thing my oldmember At Greenbrier does the
big pulls for all the majors andstuff.
It's going to be hard not totake Rory in the first year this
year.
Announcer (01:00:53):
Dude.
Scott (01:00:56):
Dude, dude you took the win right out of my sails.
Graham (01:01:01):
I was gonna say that sigh, sigh, sigh.
I hate to say it guys do, butthe fans are behind them, right
now at least.
I mean I was never against Rory.
I really was.
I mean like good dude, I likeRory.
I really was I mean like gooddude, I like him.
(01:01:22):
He's great for the tour.
All that Great.
When he had his mistake AtAugusta how many years ago was
that?
Now?
Has it been 10?
Scott (01:01:30):
years already.
That hit the house.
That I couldn't believe thatwas the house.
It's been 10 years now.
It's been a while, yeah, it'sbeen a while yeah it's been a
while.
Graham (01:01:39):
Yeah, it's been a hot minute.
My point is now it's just likethe set, you know, just times
have changed I'm pulling for himalso even watching full swing.
Scott (01:01:48):
It's just like I want him to do it.
Dude, career grand slam, I wanthim to do it.
You know we're golf fans, wewant to see that shit.
I mean, yeah, but I can goahead and right now and give you
a Scotty hot pick for the PGAchampionship at Quail Hollow
where, where Rory's won the 7million times, go ahead and just
(01:02:12):
count that as a topic.
I mean, don't be surprised ifhomeboy wins.
Graham (01:02:18):
Oh at minus 200.
Okay, A lot of people don't besurprised if homeboy wins.
Oh at minus 200?
Okay, here's the thing.
Scott (01:02:21):
A lot of people don't realize this.
You know where the OpenChampionship is this year it's
in Ireland.
I mean, if it was ever settingup for a season for Rory, if you
could bet right now and I'msure there's a line somewhere I
wonder what the line would be onRory.
(01:02:43):
Major championships over oneand a half.
Announcer (01:02:46):
Yeah.
Scott (01:02:47):
It'd be a lot.
