Speaker 1 (00:03):
You shot to do? What?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome to the Divide with Mike and Corey too, diehard
baseball fans who don't agree on anything? Which side will
you choose? This is the Divide.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Welcome to the Divide with Mike and Corey. Put your
boy Todder. Hey, this is Cliff Floyd. You don't catch
me one, you can catch me on the Divide on
Fox Sports The Gambler. Hopefully our disagreements one day bring
us all together. So so so Corny, our disagreement bring
(00:59):
up I do and here we are Divide live on
Fox Sports The Gambler. I was just reading that. I
think you said.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Good God, I got some research to do.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Uh. End of the week.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So many things happening. Did I even say it?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
In one of two five Philly on four to one
Trenton check us out on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Dude, I feel like if you don't say it, like
you'll just like have an aneurysms.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Say it, my head will finish, My head will just
hit the table. Bro so much this week, what do
you want to die? First of all, you had a
great Monday Monday. Yes, let's start. Let's start with that. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell you about my Thursday and
(01:51):
we'll see who had the better.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Week so far.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So I was out there repping iHeartRadio, Iconic Candy, Children
Specialize Hospital, Eat Clean Bro at the first ever Eat
Clean Bro. I don't want to get it wrong because
my apologies. You know your local lenders Eat Clean Bro
(02:15):
golf outing.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It was that Trump National or yeah, Trump National golf
course in colts Neck. Now, the only thing I'll tell
you is like, regardless if you like this guy or
eat this guy, my man knows how to make a
golf course.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
They have Whole nineteen and that's where iHeart and Iconic
Candy was set up. And it's just like a fun hole.
So it's like you get to play it short.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
From what I saw, it looks.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, it's like a one up par one twenty like
part part three one twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Uh you know.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
But it's like it reminds me like a little bit
of mini golf because the green is centered in like
water is there, so like you're gonna lose your ball
if you don't get on the green. So it's green
or nothing, right, there's no fairway there's nothing like you
got to get one on the green, so it's cool.
So either you waste the ball or you know, being
(03:09):
that it was you know, best ball. We obviously had
a couple on the green, uh, but it was it
was so much fun man DJ. Normally there's shots taking,
there's a lot of money on a whole nineteen that
is lost or won.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Uh. So it's it's a lot of cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
So you could win back your whole round or like
you know, if you lost like fifty bucks turning the round,
you could double down right there. It's it's really cool
and it it ends right in front of you know,
the turn in the halfway house. So it was just
a pretty remarkable thing. And shout outs to Kayla and
Jamie v cleanbro. They know how to party. There was
(03:47):
a rubber ducky uh longest yard. They had a they
had one of the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Launchers that you can launch your ball.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
My guy, Kevin, my boss, actually he uh you know,
had the longest drive.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I don't care what anybody says. Of the day with
the with the Paul launcher was insane.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
They had like seven hundred dollars drivers that you could
borrow on this one. Hole and they're like, hey, you
want to hit your drive with a seven hundred dollars driver.
I was like, absolutely, dude, I knuke this thing. It
was like and it was awesome because it was a
loaded bat. Yeah, exactly like it. It just oh, this
is what money feels like if you could golf right. So,
like they had uh, the two Italian twins I forget
(04:29):
their names, geez comedians heckling you out of court at
a on a thing and our boss, our president Jeff
and then like had a viral moment. It was pretty
funny because their caddy his name was Josh. He was good,
but it wasn't like the expectations I had of my
first ever caddy.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
A lot of second everybody got a caddy.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yo, and it had iconic candy on the back. It
looked insane.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So each foursome had a cat had a caddy like
and it's funny because you know where it says do
not step on the back, like they they that's where
the caddy hangs out on the back of the car.
So I was like, I even told Jeff, I was like,
they should change that to do not step unless you're
a caddy because they just like ride hatchback, but Josh
(05:14):
was either new or like just like kind of.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You know whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Like I assume a lot of people are members so
they know the course so he doesn't have to share
it with them. But we were new to the course,
so we're asking a lot of questions and there wasn't
much answers. So when we got to the to the comedians,
Jeff whips out his phone and he's like, oh, I
gotta pay this guy, like he hasn't given me anything,
(05:39):
Like I literally I should have hit a four four iron.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
He gave me a five, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And I was I was begging Jeff to be like, yo,
can we have like a happy Gilmore moment where like
you ask him what kind of club you should use
and then he use a different club and be like yeah,
good call, and you're fired. Yeah, So dude, it was awesome,
but I thought it was like having a built in GPS,
so I didn't use my app. So, like I'm not
saying like that took me mentally out of the game,
(06:07):
but I definitely, for the first time in my life,
everything was clicking except for my irons, and I've never
had that issue we're hidden fair ways, we're hidden everything. Uh,
you know, drives looked great. Uh, you know, I laid
us up for a Birdie on a par three. I
felt great about that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
There was just my irons I couldn't figure out for
the first time, and I was just like very plaining
wide irons.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Are your wedges?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Wedges?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, wedges, yeah, all the above actually so uh probably
six iron all the way to like my gap.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah damn man. Yeah, it's normally pretty good with yours.
Yeah irons. Yeah. Oh I had a couple.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, the part three you must have laid on.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
My wedges were good? Now the part three were you
laid up for Birdie? That was?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
That was it was like yeah, five or six, you
know a lot of it was like with this when
that like so it was like two hundred yards, Like
every part three was two hundred even.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The swinging and ing it was.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, yeah, holand one one hundred and eighty with up
on a mountain with an afro around a fair way,
no way try to get loft under the your four iron,
I asked Jeff.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I was like, yo, dude, did they like not move
the night before just because they knew they were having
us there and there's all these competitions. He's like, they
do that to protect the golf course, but legacy is
normally hard. I was like, I just played a week
ago and I was like, this was.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And then we played. It's gotta protect this club for
real serious.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
But shout out to clean Bro, Jamie, Kala, Kayla h
and everybody over there. I mean, it was just unbelievable.
Jordan and Kim from My Kind of Candy Squeeze Pop
just got released today, which is sick ouch, Bubblegum is
on its way.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You could go to five Below, you could go everywhere.
But Icon of Candy.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Not only is it are they resurrecting your favorite candies.
There are, legit the coolest couple that I've met in
a long long time, and they had a blast.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Felt like I was family. Alexa was there, she felt
like she was family.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
It's just like whenever I see those people like I
just want to hug them and and wish them the
best of luck. So they're really cool. I met Kim's
twin brother. He's really cool too. Oh yeah, and I
just pointed out because Corey is also a twin and
it's funny because at I hired. Everybody's like, man, that
guy Corey, He's on every freaking chill every time it
(08:38):
turned on.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's core Barrel. I'll bro that's Burt. That's Burt Man.
That's Burt. So yeah, dude, next year we'll do it big.
The divide will be there. You know.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I already have ideas of ways we could make Cold
nineteen better, you know. And and Nugget killed it. Shout
outs to Q and O two, Nugget, Alexa and her boyfriend,
they were there. They also did an amazing job.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's good man, that sounds that sounds. Are you ready though,
because that was your Monday, that Monday to Thursday, I
got to go to the mall. My god, it was awful.
Which Mallbridge? Yeah, dude, I haven't stepped footing them all.
(09:24):
So first of all, I think we said I know,
I definitely said it in the group chat. Right.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
This is a couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So around Father's Day, my wife let me know that
as a part of my Father's Day gift, she was
gonna come with me to the mall and we were
going to pick out some new cologne for myself because
the cologne that I've been wearing the last twelve years
of my life, probably more. At this point, she's like,
I can't stand the smell of it anymore, dude, it's
(09:50):
my favorite cologne. So she's like, we need to pick
out a new one. So great, Yeah, thank you, Happy
Father's Day to me. Let's pick out a cologne that
you're gonna like. So we get there. First of all,
when was the last time you step foot inside an
actual mall? Probably a lot sooner than me, since you
have a young child that likes to shop.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah, it's been a while. But we also we went
to the mall what is it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, like the New Jersey Mall of America, whatever, super
or whatever. No, this was just the Quaker Bridge Mall.
This was like the saddest dude. Half the stores aren't
even there anymore. They're just like the other half. I
don't recognize. It's not crowded at all. It's just it's
such a terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And then you walk in.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Of course, we go to like Macy's, the Fragrance, Fragrance Department,
fag Wins Department, and uh, Susan Wallman was there. Now
we go to the Fragrance Department and there's nobody in
this It's a Thursday, nobody's in this place. So of
course all five women at the counter are trying to
help me. My wife's like, we had the baby.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
She's like, I'll walk around with her. You pick out
what you want.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I'm like, why you're the one that smell. Yeah, she's like, no,
just pick out something. So like I find too that
are like okay, and then it comes over and she's
like no. Oh. Like so we walk out of the
store and I'm like, hey, not for nothing, Like, why
wouldn't you just come over to the counter with me
to begin with? Yeah, She's like, because it's what did
you say?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
She goes, Ultimately, ultimately it's what you want.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That's like, no, no, no, no, no no, Ultimately it's
what you want.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Initially, initially it's what I want.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But ultimately it's what you want.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It was just God, it was a waste.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
That's so fun. It did end. We found a really
good pizza spot, a new one by I thought you're
gonna say, like, i'd not wear your car. No, no, no,
We're still in the hunt. There's a few that she
doesn't mind, or I should say that she hates less
than my current that I actually enjoy. So we'll see
what tomorrow brings. But what was the new pizza place.
It's called Corleone's. It's actually like fifteen minutes from here.
(11:50):
It's not far, it's like seven minutes from me. But
here's the thing. I don't know if you've noticed this before.
This is like the anomaly. I have yet to find
a pizza place that does both really good pizza and
really good like hot sandwiches as well. Yeah, it's fair
like I have yet to find one that does like
(12:12):
both really good. I found at least three fantastic pizza
places near me, but there's sandwiches like if you get
a chicken palm with your pizza, forget it. It's not
good at all. Right, But then on the other hand,
I've found places that have really good sandwiches and the pizza,
but the pizzas garbage. Elios. Why why someone help us
out here? You do recommend I.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Can't, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It angers me Like it's twenty twenty four, who's working
on the cure for cancer? Let's get these pizza places
like really up here, you know what I mean? Like,
where's where's that fundraiser. You know I want pizza places. No, No,
we had that there in Covid.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Like we're like, you know, trying different spots or just
like trying to keep small business live. Dude, that's the
other thing. Shout outs to Manja, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Place to go to Yo. But they're spaghetti is the
best spaghetti in those juries Spaghetti like all of their
pasta or no, typically the spaghetti spaghetti because because a
lot of times, what do you get, Like you sub
spaghetti for Penney right like everybody gets. Of course, spaghetti's
forget about it, yeah, and forget aboutgett Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Steve is the owner is from Brooklyn, just like me.
But the spaghetti is to die for. The spaghetti is
you're really laying shetti right now.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
No, I'm not a spaghetti guy either, like we're like
a tramp, dude.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I would I would definitely like share it with the
dog if I had to, that's how good it is.
I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding, Manja. Spaghetti is to
die for.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
What is your So you said you're not really a
spaghetti person, I'll tell you might be the reason I
always substitute the speak for the Penne because I know
I'm gonna make a mess with myself if I get
to spaghetti and I don't know how to eat it properly.
Like when they give me a fork and a spoon,
I'm like, what the hell am I supposed to do
with this? Supposed to do with this? So I'm like,
just give me the Pennee. I just don't need this spoon.
Big CD was my go to Italian thing.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
So then like when I discovered Penne, it was like, oh,
it's kind of like bake c D light, right, So
like I went Penne also like it's just I think
it's easier to cook. So a lot of places don't
mess it up as much as spaghetti. All right, maybe,
but maybe who Steve knows how to make some spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And I've never found a pizza place that has good
Pop Mom spaghetti. Uh No, Manja's great. I know, I've
been introduced to the sandwiches and pizza. Manja's not. I
mean the Super.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Bowl they well, no, the watermelon then they sponsored that. Yeah,
that's coming up on her anniversary.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's man, let's get into some sports here, guys. Unlece,
you guys want to hear us talk about the mall
and pizza. I mean we're talking about golf earlier, So
that works. The Mets are in second place in the
NL East. The Yankees are in second place in the
AL East. The Phillies are still on top. But my god,
I mean, don't get me wrong. Look the Phillies. Uh,
(15:21):
they played great this last week, taking care of the
Dodgers two out of three. You know, the Mariners, of course, uh,
you know, you drop two against them. But but ultimately,
you guys are headed in the right direction, and more importantly,
you're you're still in first.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You got the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Uh, when the Mets the only team you have to
worry about behind you come on smooth, smooth sailing here. Yeah.
And then you know, obviously, uh, trade deadline came and went, right,
it's gone. Yeah, we talked about that. Yeah, get at it.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You'll get some moves on waivers. But even that, like
it's like playoff edge of like that to me.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's like the most exciting point from here on out.
Is not like the pickups off waivers, but at when
playoff baseball comes around and you see exactly who's on
that roster. Yeah, they add and subtract just and you
kind of you try to figure out what they're thinking.
And if you're Filly, you're trying to figure out what
your manager is thinking. And if you're the Yankees, you're
(16:23):
trying to figure out what the front office is thinking.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Well, like, yeah, it's once I got better at poker,
once I realized I should think this, Like once the
table gets smaller, you have to then realize you need
certain assets on your team and you need to make
certain bets. So like with poker, I started thinking with
a baseball mind. I was like, oh, when there's like
(16:45):
three or four of us left at the table, you know,
I need to like assess it almost like postseason, you know.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And then I got taught probability and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Right right, So like that's that's now the fun part
of the season.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I like that, like start counting cards, yeah, or just
you know, guys that could hit a home run off
the bench, Like I mean stuff like that, Guys that, Okay,
we need another lefty because this guy can't he's batting
one to eighty against the lefty. We're gonna put him
into the bin bullpen, and like just different things that
allow you to kind of realize that, hey, like it's
(17:24):
you know, it's a playoff season maybe, so I agree
with that in the roster spots, you know, people that
are injured that might come back for the next series,
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it's just kind of cool. It's great. Uh yeah, No, listen,
what I love the most about the way things are
looking right now.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Now granted it's the beginning.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Of August, still okay, and we don't really have to
start looking at certain scenarios till probably the first or
second week of December. So there's a lot of baseball,
you know, and things you guys hopefully listen from week
to week. I mean, you realize how quick things change,
you know, the two three weeks ago, I was cursing
at the Yankees, and now they seems to finally found
a you know, a few things here and there. But
(18:10):
come September, if thinks stay the way they are, that
met Philly series is gonna be fan thing tactic thirteenth.
It's gonna Friday the thirteenth and Mike Heroll promote it.
But set your calendar, guys, that's gonna be probably the
biggest back nine series that we're gonna see. That's really
(18:32):
gonna mean a few things. Hopefully, I mean Philly. Hopefully
you guys are sitting pretty and it doesn't matter if
you drop one or two.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
But I have.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
This sneaking suspicion that it's gonna mean a lot more
for these guys than they think it is gonna mean.
But Mike, tell them what we're gonna win on Friday
the thirteenth, win, I don't know, you know, it's a
game show thing. Tell them what they're gonna win, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And yeah right.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
We're gonna have a lot of sponsors.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
We're gonna be a Infinity live broadcasting with all one
of four point five Fox Sports, the Gambler. We're gonna
have a crew, a panel, you know. I know the
seven Line crew is gonna be around. We're gonna do
something with them on Saturday. You know, Sheffield Shuffler is
gonna be there, our guys from j Matt Customs, the
(19:18):
creator that oh my god, sign Uh. There's gonna be
a ton of people popping in and out from both sides,
both angles, you know, because we like to keep it
neutral till it's not. But personally, my feeling is I
think the Mets are gonna be down double digits by
that time.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I'm not lie to you. Yeah, come, it's a little
bit of a reverse DNX.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
But honestly, like I look at it, I look at everything,
and I'm like, oh, this is logical. The Braves are
playing like complete garbage right now, like they are. Yeah,
they've lost four of the last six five in a row.
You know, I'm laughing because we caught hunted the Chicago
White Sox a little bit late. They were in the
teams with their loss losses by the time we started following,
(19:58):
but like they almost got twenty.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Two losses only one losses in a row. Yeah, and
then you put money on them.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I put money on them, but I parlayed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I parlayed them with a few other teams and a
team that I won't name. Blew it. But that's okay,
it's all right.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Like look like so there's there's like you said, there's
still a lot of baseball to be played. We got
to get out of August. Uh talk to me August thirtieth.
Then I'll let you know how I feel about Frita
of the thirteenth. Regardless, the Mets are still going to
show up. Whether it's a spoiler role, whether it's you know,
a role that could land us into a playoff spot,
(20:33):
Like I'm all about it so ideally, Like if we
could just keep status quo, I'd be happy. It's like
Friday the thirteenth, can't get here any sooner.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, man, it's gonna get here quick.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I really can't wait to see kind of what we're
playing for when when that time comes around. We gotta
take a quick break, guys, and we come back the Olympics.
I know we said we weren't excited about it last week,
but we are on board after seeing how much USA
is really dominated what feels like the last four days
USA USA stay with us.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Will be right back to vide live on Fox Sports
The Gambler.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You're listening to The Divide right here on The Gambler.

our socials Divide live on Instagram, Twitter, or X as
it's currently known. Check us out to give us a
shot network on our comes back. You know what's funny
is even like any any correspondence that you read and
they have to mention X, they always say X and
then in parentheses formerly Twitter because people just like saying Twitter.
(21:33):
It was like I'm trying to think of like a
rebranding where people refuse to take the new brand iHeartMedia.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
There are some older people like, oh, how's how's working
for clear Channel.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I'm like, like, that's ancient.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It is, it is, But that was a quick transition,
like everybody forgot. I would say, like, you know, we're
seventy nine up. They forgot about like Twitter, uh, clear
clear Channel like that, you know, because it was kind
of like Viacom where they were like quiet you didn't
realize how much they owned.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, and now with iHeart it's kind of more in
your face. That's fair. I just don't know if any
I guess we got to wait for the new generation,
the new wave, because do you know what Viacom owns?
No right, everything?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
But and they might not be called Viacom anymore, but
you know, it was them in clear Channel for the
longest time and now it's iHeart cable Vision.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Ah, what do we do oh tmos on the twitch? Not.
I don't even know how we missed this in the
first segment. But on Wednesday you had a birthday? No
I did? You did? Why don't you? Here was why?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Because a Wednesday birthday is kind of crappy, like and
I absolutely I feel bad for kids, like it didn't
bother me much, but like a Wednesday like so for example,
even for me, like Jen's parents wanted to celebrate it
last Friday, I'm like, it's not even close to my birthday, right,
and then like.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Hey, we know you were born this day, yeah, but
do your mind like six days beforehand for us?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
So it's yeah, so Peyton like did this elaborate like
find us thing like where I had like follow arrows
and stuff. So I filmed it because as soon as
I figured it out, she's like, Dad, I set up
some traps like make sure you're ready. So I filmed it,
like and it was her screaming happy birthday at me.
But it's like almost six days before my birthday, right,
(23:53):
and then like Wednesday rolls around your middle of the week.
People are responding to like your work stuff, so you
have to actually work.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Adults, do they work on their birthday. If you're an
adult and you take off on your birthday, I get that,
but it doesn't correspond with like another holiday, Like if
your birthday is Christmas, it doesn't count. But if you're
an adult and you're like, my birthday is Monday, and
I'm taking off on my birthday and it's not like
a milestone birthday or something like that, you're I hate you.
You're a stupid adult. But when you have an eight
(24:22):
year old or I'm talking about someone that's like, I'm
not going to work on Tuesday, it's dude, if your
birthday is on a Friday and you want to take
off and do something great, like by all means, but
if your birthdays on a Tuesday, and you're like, right because.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Of the e clan brothing, and I'm not complaining, Like
my work was already like bogged up, right, so Monday
was strictly with my client.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I know you had fun, dude, Yeah, still worked Monday.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Oh of course I get that, but like there's like
other things that I had to take care of that, like,
so Tuesday got crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Wednesday was crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
That's why I tried calling you Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh I couldn't You were like, dude, I'm in a
meeting and I'm like, yeah, put me on yeah in
the media. That's why I calls I want to make
stand that bro. It was when you do a core
you interrupted my online poker.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
It was the beer version the Catlina wine mixer that
we are working on Jeff and I. Uh so, it
was dude, it was just nuts. And then you know,
Peyton made me breakfast for my birthday, maybe dinner. You know,
I had all these gifts and she's like, we got
to make a video about this. We got to do
a video of that. A lot of people think I
make these videos because I wanted it, Like no, she
(25:32):
dictates it like like literally, it's like one of my clients,
like it's it's unbelievable. So no, yeah, thank you. My
birthday was awesome. But shout out to any kid who
is like five to fifteen that has to have a
Wednesday birthday eventually, like they kind of suck, you know.
And then also, it's my last year in my thirties,
so I think I'm a little depressed.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Man. That went quick. Yeah, sorry, last year already.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
And then so the younger people I work with were like, so,
what are you like forty five and I was like, no,
I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And then they're like, oh well.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I was like, yeah, I'm kind of depressed, like it's
my last year in the thirties. And they're like, you
should just stop celebrating your birthdays because they're all going
to be pretty much the same. And I was like, thanks,
twenty year old kid that has no idea what this
world's about.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And then the older se year olds, you twenty year
olds go out and celebrate Tuesday for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah, the older salespeople were like, yo, what are you
like twenty nine? And I'm like, actually, I'm thirty nine,
and they're like, get the hell out of it here,
like you know.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
So like it was like, am I the only one
in my age group right now?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I think twenty nine year old Mike still had hair?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah he did. Thirty year old Mike had hair. When
did you shave your head?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Peyton was about eighteen months old, and because I know
that because I cut.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
The corner and she's like she heard my voice, like daddy, daddy,
and she's like, that's not my daughter.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It was like like you ever see like where me,
mim like just hits a wall.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
She like hit that glass, that fake wall, like ran
the other way. It was so funny.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Uh, Angelica hated it in the beginning. Uh you know,
shadows Sangelica. She forgot my birthday, but she's been very apologized.
That's the best thing about having a Wednesday birthday because
everybody else's lives are going crazy, right, So she forgot it,
texted me like later on the night, and now she
owes me a dinner.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So I'm super excited about that. She's the worst. I
don't even know why you're friends with her. She's there.
She pregnant again, by the way she is.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
She is people know that, right.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I saw it on social media.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah, she's it's now official, so we could good for her.
Man hair down on the radio.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Absolutely, congratulations and I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a
call when I get off you say congrats and say
whose baby is that? And I'm kidding. Oh Man, all right, guys,
I don't know about you, but I've been watching the
Olympics like crazy, dude. The TV is just on in
my house and I'm feeling patriotic. Call it the election year.
(28:15):
Call it the Olympics. Call it what you want. I
am fifty stars and a whole bunch of stripes, sort
of the thirteen I annoyed.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Stay away from the White House in January sixth All right, now,
let me in.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
A team USA guys. We are in the lead with
one hundred and three total medals. We have the most
medals out of any other country or sovereign state. We
have the most gold medals at this point in time
that anybody else about to be a lot more.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
As soon as the basketball final goes down, we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
More about that along with the women's volleyball indoor made
it to the gold round. I think that actually, by
the time you hear this, it'll probably be over and done.
What's hopefully add some more? But have you been watching
it all? First of all, it's always on. It's fans
gold Zone. I watched the Gold Zone. Okay, yeah, all right,
well you do watch a little.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Also my new job, ironically, like I watched sports now,
like you know, what's less sports less, Whereas like my
old job, there's TVs always.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
There because you dictated what was on there. Yeah, but
also like customer comes in like you and they say Olympics.
They'll be like, oh, did you know we got one
hundred the USA.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
You would say, I'm like, yeah, man, buy TV you
know what by mic wave, by this, you know, so
like now it's a little bit different. So honestly, no,
like I know, someone bios had a heartbreaking thing on
the balance beam. I watched golf that was freaking unreal.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
You know that was not golf was wild.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, golf was crazy, both men's and women's. You know,
that's really cool. I hope that stays forever in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know, I won't.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I've been watching highlights of four years ago when you
saw Todd Frasier in the Olympics. Also, like that mess
with my head that that was four years It wasn't
really well not really your right, it was the twenty
twenty Olympics, played in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Right, it was only three three not that it makes
a huge difference absolutely, like one year. Yeah, but yeah, no,
that is like a little bit of a mind uh
uh freak too uh because they keep referencing back, oh,
last long We're like, oh, that was four years, but
it wasn't. For it wasn't. It wasn't wasn't fake news. Man. Also,
(30:28):
it's every two or technically technically it's every four is
it technically every two years? We see an Olympics right
right between winter and summer. It's weird. It is weird,
so weird, so weird, unbelievable. Also, like gymnastics also in
the winter Olympics. Am I crazy things? You are crazy?
(30:50):
They're not they should be.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I feel like it's like because they think of like
wrestling in that, like any indoor sport, even basketball, Like,
it's weird that basketball is in the summer Olympics.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's not played in the summer. Think of it, Jesus,
like rist, He's right, Jesus, summer's outdoor sports. Why are
we playing indoors sports? You know? And I get it
because the players are accessible. God damn it, man, it's
(31:20):
so true. And I mean it's technically it's not like
a winter I'm trying to think of, like, but I take.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Exception to the fact that then the actual summer sports
aren't being played right now, right like baseball is not
being played.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Well, I do think baseball should always be in it.
I agree. I think it's it's similar to basketball. It's
very easy to do a tournament with baseball and you
know the country's I I guess the Winter Olympics. Thinking
about all of the events, there's not really like even
the indoor events are still cold, right like ice skating, hockey,
Like it's all played like ice is involved in some
(31:56):
sort of way, you know what I mean. There's not
like a I'm trying to think of like at our
Olympic sport where a dude's just competing in like a
T shirt. Like you know, it's not like but damn man,
we won't have to revamp this whole thing. I had
to call the Olympic committee hearing me out, you guys
have been doing this.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Move basketball, put baseball back.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But then like my argument is like in why can't
we then just shift because like it would be cool
to have the actual MLB players, including Japanese players, American players,
Latin players like in in the Winter Olympics then playing baseball.
Like so it's like my brain just gets fried over it.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Like with baseball, I think it's more. Oh no, that
doesn't make sense of a contract. We got lucky.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Team USA got lucky because you had veterans like Todd Fraser,
other guys on on the team. But you also had
this youth like Adlee Rushman, like all these guys coming
up right, and uh, you know, they were able to
play for Team USA. So it was a good mix
of old and new. That's not gonna happen in four years.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I don't think you know it is coming back for LA, right,
LA baseball will be back. Good has a break. I
don't even think break dancing has been on yet. I
haven't seen it. I haven't seen breaking that. Does that
even happen anyway? My mind is just blown right now.
They're coming to an end. The Olympics. The closing ceremony
(33:27):
is on the eleventh. I believe basketball had quite the
dramatic game on Thursday, almost dropping it to the Serbians. However, dude,
so if you watch, they came back from like a
seventeen thirteen to seventeen point deficit at the start of
the fourth quarter. It was. It was insane. In the
(33:48):
nine minute drive from my gym to my house the
fourth quarter started, I'm like, all right, let me get
home for the end of this game. By the time
I pulled in my driveway, they had already tied it up. Yeah,
it was. It was wild. Steph came up big, Lebron, Embad,
even KD. They all came up big. But honestly, the
more I watched that entire game, like they just they
(34:13):
they couldn't have been they were putting it all out
there when they were like, no, up that creek and
they played with their food. Yeah, absolutely absolutely coming was
fun this day. And but now they got France on Saturday.
It should be a good one hopefully, you know. Maybe No.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I was laughing because I was thinking, like maybe they
figured out a way they could bet on the game.
It's not an NBA game, and they're like, yo, if
we lose, we had this X amount, like we could
make a ton of money because the money line was
like plus twenty thousand for them.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
What Yeah, so imagine they don't nobody wants a bronze medal. Dude,
again that Lebron already has a bronze. Bron's got two
golds and a bronze. I uh oh god, you just
made another good point. What are the rules? Can like
Olympians bet on themselves? You can bet on the Olympics.
(35:07):
This is just the first Olympics were like pretty much
at home. Betting is a thing like right, Yeah, I
feel like Fanda wasn't that big during COVID.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
No, we at least we weren't thinking that way, you know,
even we.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Were DraftKings or whatever. Yeah, oh my god, oh my god,
so many good points powers Like all right, Noah Lyles
came in third at the two hundred meter on Thursday
and that was like his event, and then he claims
he got COVID and that's why he came in third, Like,
do you think he dropped it because he bet on
(35:40):
on anybody but him? And also did they all have
like their own versions of the interpreter? Yeah? What dude? God,
we gotta take a quick break. I gotta digest this
what just happened. And then when we come back, we're
talking about everything on social media that Mike and I
had found and picked up. There's some wild and crazy stuff, guys.
(36:02):
You just gotta wait to hear. This is the vide
live on Fox Sports The Game.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
You're listening to The Divide right here on The Gambler.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
The vide Live Fox Sports The Gambler.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
We're back. Let's take a look at our socials and
see what crazy things have popped up. What's been a
little bit of a slow week as far as life,
since Hurricane Debbie has kind of blown some crappy weather
up and around the Northeast area. Such a Debbie downer,
Such a Debbie downer. No, what was not a Debbie downer?
(36:31):
Is Hurricane Debbie Blue nearly one million dollars worth of cocaine.
That's all the way to Florida, Debbie Upper. Oh my god,
that's Mother Nature really telling you. That's someone's mad that
they're missing a million dollars worth of cocaine.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
But I saw it like sharks, like they found cocaine
and a lot of sharks.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Like there's coked up sharks right now traveling around the show.
Real man. Yeah, but that's a hell of a lot
of cocaine to ruin somebody's day. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Of course, Border patrol.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Picked it up before anybody else could. Narcs Our socials
have been blowing up NonStop ever since we talked about it.
Mm hmm. But all of the open swims at the Olympics, dude,
I told that filthy, filthy, filthy river. It looked like
the lake from Wiwonka. Dude. When the Hungarian athlete swimmers
(37:26):
were saying they're literally avoiding brown things in the water.
What is it the Sen the sen scene, Sammy Swim
sam Sam Tonight, the Cyan River, Siam. It's just absolutely disgusting.
I told you that. I was there. I was there.
(37:48):
I was like, they're like, yeah, I would clean it up.
I was like, people are going to swim in this.
They're like yeah. I was like, you know.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
And and also like it's just such a hot take
from France because like they were like you weren't allowed
to ish or like try to retrieve metal out of
the river because they said it was a a burial
place for for people that passed away during all the wars,
and that there was bodies down there.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
But all of a sudden, like, yeah, you can swim
in it.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Well it's not even a river.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, It's like, it's not it's a body. It's a
sword pipe. It's a sword pipe that surrounds France and
gives you great views of the Eiffel Tower. It's not, guys,
it's not a river. I don't know why they keep
do they even call it a river. They might just
call it like a waterway or something, but it's it's not.
It's drainage. It's where the sewage go. It's literally what
it is. It's it's not it's just where people are.
(38:42):
Like you have you have Olympic athletes, you have had
like the peak athletes representing every single country swimming in
it and getting ecoi sough like.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
And when I when I was there, like I was
asking some of the tour and you know, tour guides
and stuff like that, I was like, oh, like, what
are they gonna do like rowing there? And they're like, no, no,
people are gonna swimming it. I was like, that is
terrible because like even the Trenton Triathlon like.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
That you guys did. I was like, are you really
gonna go in there, like you.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Know, Mercer County Park.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, I was worried about that. That's a nasty You
came out looking like reverse so bad, needles everywhere. Al Right,
what's next? None the list. Pole Vaulter went viral for
twerking after winning medal, claps back at the critics, apparently
on Canadian what's her name here? What's her name here?
(39:42):
Alicia Newman? That sounds Canadian? It does, actually very Newman,
new Newman Newman. She took the bronze medal in pole
vaulting for women a little twerk afterwards. Apparently she does
have a fans account, which is interestingly again that name
is Alicia new But some people had some things to say,
(40:08):
and she's like, I made a lot of friends on
all these different accounts and I'm not gonna be apologetic
for it. So good for you, especially for when the
Brons was still doing that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
There's only one account people are worried about. But yeah, no,
that's cool. Like I don't know, like whatever, like I
don't think of it.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Like.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I don't care anymore. Yeah, Like like I feel like
if you talk to five people, I laugh one of
them has one of those accounts, not not even the
account part.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Like I laugh about the twerking because like, dude, like
we had movies where like what was it like Save
the Last Dance or whatever where or one of those
dance movies I can't remember, but they're like we have this.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Exclusive dance club and like when.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
They went there, like they're just grinding up on each other,
like that was like twerking with somebody in front of you,
we're behind you, Like it was never it was straight
up dry humping on the dance like at least now
the women are twerking and like there's not a dude
just standing behind them doing absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
That was our generation, man, that was our generation. Like, Yo,
you want to go to you want to go out
to Chili's. Sudden, three people just dumping each other.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Oh my out of control, it's out of control, Like
we'll be goddamn Chili's.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Oh my god, actually getting off topic, which is what
we do best. Those movies would crack me up because
they would have things like save the Last Dance and
then like or something like bring it on or whatever. Yeah,
and then they'd be like it did so well, and
they're like, all right, we need a sequel. We need
to We're gonna save the Last Dance again. We're gonna
bring it on again. Then they phoned it in with
(41:53):
the title what are they gonna do again? Yeah, the
Last Dance again.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Like in that era, they made like every scenario cool,
like the drum line, Like they had Nick Cannon doing
that and it was the coolest thing in the world. Right, Like,
I'm sorry, I don't care if you're the best drum
line in the world. I'm not watching a movie about
you anymore. It's like watch me on one snore.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
So oh and we're all watching it like it's real
life too.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Like that was the funniest part about this, Like there
was actually competitions.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Like this that got that hard that like thousands in
bro it's it just goes to show. I mean, of
course with all these these streaming platforms now there's like
too much.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
It's like you can't get excited for people get.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Upset, like because that DVD, like those movies would never
be made now, like and they're not being made.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
No, but even like people that would go see that
and they're like, oh, like even they use drumline for example,
people went bananas over it, and it's like if that
were to drop today, people are like, oh okay, Like
it's just like we had not we had exposure to
nothing else. We were like, okay, you watch it on DVDA,
stare at my wall or watch Nick Cannon play the
snare drum for two hours.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
And also like schools are still showing that stuff because
like hilariously like they can't find other content without like
downloading all these apps now pretty much speaking of that,
did you see Old Dads?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Did you see that movie on Netflix? No is that
Bill Burr. It's so fun, is it? It's so you
gotta watch it? All right, It's there's so much, dude,
Netflix draw.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
I feel like, either I haven't been on Netflix in
a while.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
They just drop like three new shows or three shows
that we usually watch all have new seasons. I still have, dude,
I have too much on my list. Yeah, they abandoned
my kid for the next year and just watch them.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
They definitely took over, like that whole Comedy Central vibe.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Yeah, and I'm happy for it.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Good.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
I'm happy for it.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
Because they're making the movies. Adam Sandler's back in the mix,
you know, Bill Burr obviously. Shane Gillis like, you know
so uh and my guy Francis Ellis like there's a
ton of people that are getting their reps now in
Netflix that they wouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Fantastic. Yeah, I thoroughly enjoy Shane Gillis all of it,
Like even it just good. I have Netflix by Comedy
Central for all I care. I mean, just keep all
the funny stuff on Netflix. The more the merrier. Yeah,
all right, last piece of news, because I'm gonna need
someone to explain this to me a little bit better.
Hulk Hogan is considering legal action over Ben Affleck's movie
(44:31):
about his past lawsuit. Apparently, Matt Damon and Ben Afflack
are making a movie or in the process of spitball
in a movie called Killing Gawker, which would detail Hulk
Hogan's lawsuit against the now defunct website Gawker. Ben Afflack
would be the one playing Hulk Hogan. And I don't
(44:52):
know what Matt Damon's doing. I don't know if he's
just helping write it or what. However, as mancho man,
you're gonna have to explain to me because I don't
even remember.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
I remember his lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
It was about his sex tape that got leaked, right, Yeah,
and it got leaked on this Gawker website website. Yeah,
but refresh my memory. I didn't didn't he get a
deal cut? Like, wasn't he paid for it to get released.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
I I don't know the inner workings of that. I'll
leave that to like the legal team and stuff like that.
But what I do know is, yeah, it was this
drawn out court thing where they were referencing his weekly
appearance on a radio show and like the size of
his member, like and he was like ho, Cogan has
(45:39):
a nine inch I don't like, so, like he was
separating the persona versus like him, so they had to
like go through all her that stuff. And they also
like I remember the one thing was in that tape
he was caught saying racial slur.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Oh yeah, that part I remember.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
So I what I love about this is like he
made a beer for strictly America, right, but he's like,
you know, we all just want to love each other,
you know, we want borders to be protected. Like he
just nonchalantly like drops things that happen to be conservative.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Like as opposed to like just saying.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
For all America, it just bought my beer, especially if
you're white, like you know, that's that's what he says.
And it's just like it blows my mind because it's like, yo,
this is not exactly for all America. So like with
this whole thing, it's gonna kick that back up. And
obviously he's trying to stop it from happening, trying to
(46:43):
stop the bleeding before but Matt and Ben do this,
it would be epic.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Trying to picture Ben Affleck as Hulk Hogan. Might I
might see it just for that it's just greatly.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
I noticed he he's going through the divorce. He made
the the reverse mohawk or the mohawk like Ben Ben has,
like yeah, he shaved off the sides and just has
the top now like it's a high. So I don't
know what he's doing, but uh, and maybe it's because
he realizes like that has to grow back and then
he'll shave that at the end and then be Hogan.
(47:19):
You know, I'm very curious to see how he's ho coing.
Oh no, I can see Matt being Hulk over Ben.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I feel like Ben could do a more serious version,
where if Matt were to do it, it would just
be like two satire too, like everybody wouldn't take him serious,
which they shouldn't because you're two people that should not
be playing. I'm sure if you just paid Hulk, he
needs the money. I'm sure. Here's the video. Go ahead,
(47:47):
all right, guys, have a good week.
Speaker 3 (47:49):
We'll be back next Friday. This was The Vibe live
on Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
The Gambler
You shot to do? What?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome to the Divide with Mike and Corey too, diehard
baseball fans who don't agree on anything? Which side will
you choose? This is the Divide.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Welcome to the Divide with Mike and Corey. Put your
boy Todder. Hey, this is Cliff Floyd. You don't catch
me one, you can catch me on the Divide on
Fox Sports The Gambler. Hopefully our disagreements one day bring
us all together. So so so Corny, our disagreement bring
(00:59):
up I do and here we are Divide live on
Fox Sports The Gambler. I was just reading that. I
think you said.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Good God, I got some research to do.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Uh. End of the week.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So many things happening. Did I even say it?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
In one of two five Philly on four to one
Trenton check us out on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Dude, I feel like if you don't say it, like
you'll just like have an aneurysms.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Say it, my head will finish, My head will just
hit the table. Bro so much this week, what do
you want to die? First of all, you had a
great Monday Monday. Yes, let's start. Let's start with that. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell you about my Thursday and
(01:51):
we'll see who had the better.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Week so far.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So I was out there repping iHeartRadio, Iconic Candy, Children
Specialize Hospital, Eat Clean Bro at the first ever Eat
Clean Bro. I don't want to get it wrong because
my apologies. You know your local lenders Eat Clean Bro
(02:15):
golf outing.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It was that Trump National or yeah, Trump National golf
course in colts Neck. Now, the only thing I'll tell
you is like, regardless if you like this guy or
eat this guy, my man knows how to make a
golf course.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
They have Whole nineteen and that's where iHeart and Iconic
Candy was set up. And it's just like a fun hole.
So it's like you get to play it short.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
From what I saw, it looks.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, it's like a one up par one twenty like
part part three one twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Uh you know.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
But it's like it reminds me like a little bit
of mini golf because the green is centered in like
water is there, so like you're gonna lose your ball
if you don't get on the green. So it's green
or nothing, right, there's no fairway there's nothing like you
got to get one on the green, so it's cool.
So either you waste the ball or you know, being
(03:09):
that it was you know, best ball. We obviously had
a couple on the green, uh, but it was it
was so much fun man DJ. Normally there's shots taking,
there's a lot of money on a whole nineteen that
is lost or won.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Uh. So it's it's a lot of cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
So you could win back your whole round or like
you know, if you lost like fifty bucks turning the round,
you could double down right there. It's it's really cool
and it it ends right in front of you know,
the turn in the halfway house. So it was just
a pretty remarkable thing. And shout outs to Kayla and
Jamie v cleanbro. They know how to party. There was
(03:47):
a rubber ducky uh longest yard. They had a they
had one of the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Launchers that you can launch your ball.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
My guy, Kevin, my boss, actually he uh you know,
had the longest drive.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I don't care what anybody says. Of the day with
the with the Paul launcher was insane.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
They had like seven hundred dollars drivers that you could
borrow on this one. Hole and they're like, hey, you
want to hit your drive with a seven hundred dollars driver.
I was like, absolutely, dude, I knuke this thing. It
was like and it was awesome because it was a
loaded bat. Yeah, exactly like it. It just oh, this
is what money feels like if you could golf right. So,
like they had uh, the two Italian twins I forget
(04:29):
their names, geez comedians heckling you out of court at
a on a thing and our boss, our president Jeff
and then like had a viral moment. It was pretty
funny because their caddy his name was Josh. He was good,
but it wasn't like the expectations I had of my
first ever caddy.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
A lot of second everybody got a caddy.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yo, and it had iconic candy on the back. It
looked insane.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So each foursome had a cat had a caddy like
and it's funny because you know where it says do
not step on the back, like they they that's where
the caddy hangs out on the back of the car.
So I was like, I even told Jeff, I was like,
they should change that to do not step unless you're
a caddy because they just like ride hatchback, but Josh
(05:14):
was either new or like just like kind of.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You know whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Like I assume a lot of people are members so
they know the course so he doesn't have to share
it with them. But we were new to the course,
so we're asking a lot of questions and there wasn't
much answers. So when we got to the to the comedians,
Jeff whips out his phone and he's like, oh, I
gotta pay this guy, like he hasn't given me anything,
(05:39):
Like I literally I should have hit a four four iron.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
He gave me a five, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And I was I was begging Jeff to be like, yo,
can we have like a happy Gilmore moment where like
you ask him what kind of club you should use
and then he use a different club and be like yeah,
good call, and you're fired. Yeah, So dude, it was awesome,
but I thought it was like having a built in GPS,
so I didn't use my app. So, like I'm not
saying like that took me mentally out of the game,
(06:07):
but I definitely, for the first time in my life,
everything was clicking except for my irons, and I've never
had that issue we're hidden fair ways, we're hidden everything. Uh,
you know, drives looked great. Uh, you know, I laid
us up for a Birdie on a par three. I
felt great about that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
There was just my irons I couldn't figure out for
the first time, and I was just like very plaining
wide irons.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Are your wedges?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Wedges?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, wedges, yeah, all the above actually so uh probably
six iron all the way to like my gap.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah damn man. Yeah, it's normally pretty good with yours.
Yeah irons. Yeah. Oh I had a couple.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, the part three you must have laid on.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
My wedges were good? Now the part three were you
laid up for Birdie? That was?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
That was it was like yeah, five or six, you
know a lot of it was like with this when
that like so it was like two hundred yards, Like
every part three was two hundred even.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The swinging and ing it was.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, yeah, holand one one hundred and eighty with up
on a mountain with an afro around a fair way,
no way try to get loft under the your four iron,
I asked Jeff.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I was like, yo, dude, did they like not move
the night before just because they knew they were having
us there and there's all these competitions. He's like, they
do that to protect the golf course, but legacy is
normally hard. I was like, I just played a week
ago and I was like, this was.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And then we played. It's gotta protect this club for
real serious.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
But shout out to clean Bro, Jamie, Kala, Kayla h
and everybody over there. I mean, it was just unbelievable.
Jordan and Kim from My Kind of Candy Squeeze Pop
just got released today, which is sick ouch, Bubblegum is
on its way.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You could go to five Below, you could go everywhere.
But Icon of Candy.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Not only is it are they resurrecting your favorite candies.
There are, legit the coolest couple that I've met in
a long long time, and they had a blast.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Felt like I was family. Alexa was there, she felt
like she was family.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
It's just like whenever I see those people like I
just want to hug them and and wish them the
best of luck. So they're really cool. I met Kim's
twin brother. He's really cool too. Oh yeah, and I
just pointed out because Corey is also a twin and
it's funny because at I hired. Everybody's like, man, that
guy Corey, He's on every freaking chill every time it
(08:38):
turned on.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's core Barrel. I'll bro that's Burt. That's Burt Man.
That's Burt. So yeah, dude, next year we'll do it big.
The divide will be there. You know.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I already have ideas of ways we could make Cold
nineteen better, you know. And and Nugget killed it. Shout
outs to Q and O two, Nugget, Alexa and her boyfriend,
they were there. They also did an amazing job.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's good man, that sounds that sounds. Are you ready though,
because that was your Monday, that Monday to Thursday, I
got to go to the mall. My god, it was awful.
Which Mallbridge? Yeah, dude, I haven't stepped footing them all.
(09:24):
So first of all, I think we said I know,
I definitely said it in the group chat. Right.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
This is a couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So around Father's Day, my wife let me know that
as a part of my Father's Day gift, she was
gonna come with me to the mall and we were
going to pick out some new cologne for myself because
the cologne that I've been wearing the last twelve years
of my life, probably more. At this point, she's like,
I can't stand the smell of it anymore, dude, it's
(09:50):
my favorite cologne. So she's like, we need to pick
out a new one. So great, Yeah, thank you, Happy
Father's Day to me. Let's pick out a cologne that
you're gonna like. So we get there. First of all,
when was the last time you step foot inside an
actual mall? Probably a lot sooner than me, since you
have a young child that likes to shop.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah, it's been a while. But we also we went
to the mall what is it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, like the New Jersey Mall of America, whatever, super
or whatever. No, this was just the Quaker Bridge Mall.
This was like the saddest dude. Half the stores aren't
even there anymore. They're just like the other half. I
don't recognize. It's not crowded at all. It's just it's
such a terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And then you walk in.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Of course, we go to like Macy's, the Fragrance, Fragrance Department,
fag Wins Department, and uh, Susan Wallman was there. Now
we go to the Fragrance Department and there's nobody in
this It's a Thursday, nobody's in this place. So of
course all five women at the counter are trying to
help me. My wife's like, we had the baby.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
She's like, I'll walk around with her. You pick out
what you want.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I'm like, why you're the one that smell. Yeah, she's like, no,
just pick out something. So like I find too that
are like okay, and then it comes over and she's
like no. Oh. Like so we walk out of the
store and I'm like, hey, not for nothing, Like, why
wouldn't you just come over to the counter with me
to begin with? Yeah, She's like, because it's what did
you say?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
She goes, Ultimately, ultimately it's what you want.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That's like, no, no, no, no, no no, Ultimately it's
what you want.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Initially, initially it's what I want.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But ultimately it's what you want.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It was just God, it was a waste.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
That's so fun. It did end. We found a really
good pizza spot, a new one by I thought you're
gonna say, like, i'd not wear your car. No, no, no,
We're still in the hunt. There's a few that she
doesn't mind, or I should say that she hates less
than my current that I actually enjoy. So we'll see
what tomorrow brings. But what was the new pizza place.
It's called Corleone's. It's actually like fifteen minutes from here.
(11:50):
It's not far, it's like seven minutes from me. But
here's the thing. I don't know if you've noticed this before.
This is like the anomaly. I have yet to find
a pizza place that does both really good pizza and
really good like hot sandwiches as well. Yeah, it's fair
like I have yet to find one that does like
(12:12):
both really good. I found at least three fantastic pizza
places near me, but there's sandwiches like if you get
a chicken palm with your pizza, forget it. It's not
good at all. Right, But then on the other hand,
I've found places that have really good sandwiches and the pizza,
but the pizzas garbage. Elios. Why why someone help us
out here? You do recommend I.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Can't, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It angers me Like it's twenty twenty four, who's working
on the cure for cancer? Let's get these pizza places
like really up here, you know what I mean? Like,
where's where's that fundraiser. You know I want pizza places. No, No,
we had that there in Covid.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Like we're like, you know, trying different spots or just
like trying to keep small business live. Dude, that's the
other thing. Shout outs to Manja, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Place to go to Yo. But they're spaghetti is the
best spaghetti in those juries Spaghetti like all of their
pasta or no, typically the spaghetti spaghetti because because a
lot of times, what do you get, Like you sub
spaghetti for Penney right like everybody gets. Of course, spaghetti's
forget about it, yeah, and forget aboutgett Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Steve is the owner is from Brooklyn, just like me.
But the spaghetti is to die for. The spaghetti is
you're really laying shetti right now.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
No, I'm not a spaghetti guy either, like we're like
a tramp, dude.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I would I would definitely like share it with the
dog if I had to, that's how good it is.
I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding, Manja. Spaghetti is to
die for.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
What is your So you said you're not really a
spaghetti person, I'll tell you might be the reason I
always substitute the speak for the Penne because I know
I'm gonna make a mess with myself if I get
to spaghetti and I don't know how to eat it properly.
Like when they give me a fork and a spoon,
I'm like, what the hell am I supposed to do
with this? Supposed to do with this? So I'm like,
just give me the Pennee. I just don't need this spoon.
Big CD was my go to Italian thing.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
So then like when I discovered Penne, it was like, oh,
it's kind of like bake c D light, right, So
like I went Penne also like it's just I think
it's easier to cook. So a lot of places don't
mess it up as much as spaghetti. All right, maybe,
but maybe who Steve knows how to make some spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And I've never found a pizza place that has good
Pop Mom spaghetti. Uh No, Manja's great. I know, I've
been introduced to the sandwiches and pizza. Manja's not. I
mean the Super.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Bowl they well, no, the watermelon then they sponsored that. Yeah,
that's coming up on her anniversary.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's man, let's get into some sports here, guys. Unlece,
you guys want to hear us talk about the mall
and pizza. I mean we're talking about golf earlier, So
that works. The Mets are in second place in the
NL East. The Yankees are in second place in the
AL East. The Phillies are still on top. But my god,
I mean, don't get me wrong. Look the Phillies. Uh,
(15:21):
they played great this last week, taking care of the
Dodgers two out of three. You know, the Mariners, of course, uh,
you know, you drop two against them. But but ultimately,
you guys are headed in the right direction, and more importantly,
you're you're still in first.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You got the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Uh, when the Mets the only team you have to
worry about behind you come on smooth, smooth sailing here. Yeah.
And then you know, obviously, uh, trade deadline came and went, right,
it's gone. Yeah, we talked about that. Yeah, get at it.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You'll get some moves on waivers. But even that, like
it's like playoff edge of like that to me.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's like the most exciting point from here on out.
Is not like the pickups off waivers, but at when
playoff baseball comes around and you see exactly who's on
that roster. Yeah, they add and subtract just and you
kind of you try to figure out what they're thinking.
And if you're Filly, you're trying to figure out what
your manager is thinking. And if you're the Yankees, you're
(16:23):
trying to figure out what the front office is thinking.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Well, like, yeah, it's once I got better at poker,
once I realized I should think this, Like once the
table gets smaller, you have to then realize you need
certain assets on your team and you need to make
certain bets. So like with poker, I started thinking with
a baseball mind. I was like, oh, when there's like
(16:45):
three or four of us left at the table, you know,
I need to like assess it almost like postseason, you know.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And then I got taught probability and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Right right, So like that's that's now the fun part
of the season.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I like that, like start counting cards, yeah, or just
you know, guys that could hit a home run off
the bench, Like I mean stuff like that, Guys that, Okay,
we need another lefty because this guy can't he's batting
one to eighty against the lefty. We're gonna put him
into the bin bullpen, and like just different things that
allow you to kind of realize that, hey, like it's
(17:24):
you know, it's a playoff season maybe, so I agree
with that in the roster spots, you know, people that
are injured that might come back for the next series,
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it's just kind of cool. It's great. Uh yeah, No, listen,
what I love the most about the way things are
looking right now.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Now granted it's the beginning.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Of August, still okay, and we don't really have to
start looking at certain scenarios till probably the first or
second week of December. So there's a lot of baseball,
you know, and things you guys hopefully listen from week
to week. I mean, you realize how quick things change,
you know, the two three weeks ago, I was cursing
at the Yankees, and now they seems to finally found
a you know, a few things here and there. But
(18:10):
come September, if thinks stay the way they are, that
met Philly series is gonna be fan thing tactic thirteenth.
It's gonna Friday the thirteenth and Mike Heroll promote it.
But set your calendar, guys, that's gonna be probably the
biggest back nine series that we're gonna see. That's really
(18:32):
gonna mean a few things. Hopefully, I mean Philly. Hopefully
you guys are sitting pretty and it doesn't matter if
you drop one or two.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
But I have.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
This sneaking suspicion that it's gonna mean a lot more
for these guys than they think it is gonna mean.
But Mike, tell them what we're gonna win on Friday
the thirteenth, win, I don't know, you know, it's a
game show thing. Tell them what they're gonna win, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And yeah right.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
We're gonna have a lot of sponsors.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
We're gonna be a Infinity live broadcasting with all one
of four point five Fox Sports, the Gambler. We're gonna
have a crew, a panel, you know. I know the
seven Line crew is gonna be around. We're gonna do
something with them on Saturday. You know, Sheffield Shuffler is
gonna be there, our guys from j Matt Customs, the
(19:18):
creator that oh my god, sign Uh. There's gonna be
a ton of people popping in and out from both sides,
both angles, you know, because we like to keep it
neutral till it's not. But personally, my feeling is I
think the Mets are gonna be down double digits by
that time.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I'm not lie to you. Yeah, come, it's a little
bit of a reverse DNX.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
But honestly, like I look at it, I look at everything,
and I'm like, oh, this is logical. The Braves are
playing like complete garbage right now, like they are. Yeah,
they've lost four of the last six five in a row.
You know, I'm laughing because we caught hunted the Chicago
White Sox a little bit late. They were in the
teams with their loss losses by the time we started following,
(19:58):
but like they almost got twenty.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Two losses only one losses in a row. Yeah, and
then you put money on them.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I put money on them, but I parlayed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I parlayed them with a few other teams and a
team that I won't name. Blew it. But that's okay,
it's all right.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Like look like so there's there's like you said, there's
still a lot of baseball to be played. We got
to get out of August. Uh talk to me August thirtieth.
Then I'll let you know how I feel about Frita
of the thirteenth. Regardless, the Mets are still going to
show up. Whether it's a spoiler role, whether it's you know,
a role that could land us into a playoff spot,
(20:33):
Like I'm all about it so ideally, Like if we
could just keep status quo, I'd be happy. It's like
Friday the thirteenth, can't get here any sooner.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, man, it's gonna get here quick.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I really can't wait to see kind of what we're
playing for when when that time comes around. We gotta
take a quick break, guys, and we come back the Olympics.
I know we said we weren't excited about it last week,
but we are on board after seeing how much USA
is really dominated what feels like the last four days
USA USA stay with us.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Will be right back to vide live on Fox Sports
The Gambler.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You're listening to The Divide right here on The Gambler.

our socials Divide live on Instagram, Twitter, or X as
it's currently known. Check us out to give us a
shot network on our comes back. You know what's funny
is even like any any correspondence that you read and
they have to mention X, they always say X and
then in parentheses formerly Twitter because people just like saying Twitter.
(21:33):
It was like I'm trying to think of like a
rebranding where people refuse to take the new brand iHeartMedia.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
There are some older people like, oh, how's how's working
for clear Channel.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I'm like, like, that's ancient.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It is, it is, But that was a quick transition,
like everybody forgot. I would say, like, you know, we're
seventy nine up. They forgot about like Twitter, uh, clear
clear Channel like that, you know, because it was kind
of like Viacom where they were like quiet you didn't
realize how much they owned.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, and now with iHeart it's kind of more in
your face. That's fair. I just don't know if any
I guess we got to wait for the new generation,
the new wave, because do you know what Viacom owns?
No right, everything?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
But and they might not be called Viacom anymore, but
you know, it was them in clear Channel for the
longest time and now it's iHeart cable Vision.

Ah, what do we do oh tmos on the twitch? Not.
I don't even know how we missed this in the
first segment. But on Wednesday you had a birthday? No
I did? You did? Why don't you? Here was why?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Because a Wednesday birthday is kind of crappy, like and
I absolutely I feel bad for kids, like it didn't
bother me much, but like a Wednesday like so for example,
even for me, like Jen's parents wanted to celebrate it
last Friday, I'm like, it's not even close to my birthday, right,
and then like.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Hey, we know you were born this day, yeah, but
do your mind like six days beforehand for us?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
So it's yeah, so Peyton like did this elaborate like
find us thing like where I had like follow arrows
and stuff. So I filmed it because as soon as
I figured it out, she's like, Dad, I set up
some traps like make sure you're ready. So I filmed it,
like and it was her screaming happy birthday at me.
But it's like almost six days before my birthday, right,
(23:53):
and then like Wednesday rolls around your middle of the week.
People are responding to like your work stuff, so you
have to actually work.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Adults, do they work on their birthday. If you're an
adult and you take off on your birthday, I get that,
but it doesn't correspond with like another holiday, Like if
your birthday is Christmas, it doesn't count. But if you're
an adult and you're like, my birthday is Monday, and
I'm taking off on my birthday and it's not like
a milestone birthday or something like that, you're I hate you.
You're a stupid adult. But when you have an eight
(24:22):
year old or I'm talking about someone that's like, I'm
not going to work on Tuesday, it's dude, if your
birthday is on a Friday and you want to take
off and do something great, like by all means, but
if your birthdays on a Tuesday, and you're like, right because.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Of the e clan brothing, and I'm not complaining, Like
my work was already like bogged up, right, so Monday
was strictly with my client.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I know you had fun, dude, Yeah, still worked Monday.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Oh of course I get that, but like there's like
other things that I had to take care of that, like,
so Tuesday got crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Wednesday was crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
That's why I tried calling you Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh I couldn't You were like, dude, I'm in a
meeting and I'm like, yeah, put me on yeah in
the media. That's why I calls I want to make
stand that bro. It was when you do a core
you interrupted my online poker.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
It was the beer version the Catlina wine mixer that
we are working on Jeff and I. Uh so, it
was dude, it was just nuts. And then you know,
Peyton made me breakfast for my birthday, maybe dinner. You know,
I had all these gifts and she's like, we got
to make a video about this. We got to do
a video of that. A lot of people think I
make these videos because I wanted it, Like no, she
(25:32):
dictates it like like literally, it's like one of my clients,
like it's it's unbelievable. So no, yeah, thank you. My
birthday was awesome. But shout out to any kid who
is like five to fifteen that has to have a
Wednesday birthday eventually, like they kind of suck, you know.
And then also, it's my last year in my thirties,
so I think I'm a little depressed.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Man. That went quick. Yeah, sorry, last year already.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
And then so the younger people I work with were like, so,
what are you like forty five and I was like, no,
I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And then they're like, oh well.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I was like, yeah, I'm kind of depressed, like it's
my last year in the thirties. And they're like, you
should just stop celebrating your birthdays because they're all going
to be pretty much the same. And I was like, thanks,
twenty year old kid that has no idea what this
world's about.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And then the older se year olds, you twenty year
olds go out and celebrate Tuesday for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah, the older salespeople were like, yo, what are you
like twenty nine? And I'm like, actually, I'm thirty nine,
and they're like, get the hell out of it here,
like you know.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
So like it was like, am I the only one
in my age group right now?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I think twenty nine year old Mike still had hair?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah he did. Thirty year old Mike had hair. When
did you shave your head?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Peyton was about eighteen months old, and because I know
that because I cut.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
The corner and she's like she heard my voice, like daddy, daddy,
and she's like, that's not my daughter.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It was like like you ever see like where me,
mim like just hits a wall.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
She like hit that glass, that fake wall, like ran
the other way. It was so funny.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Uh, Angelica hated it in the beginning. Uh you know,
shadows Sangelica. She forgot my birthday, but she's been very apologized.
That's the best thing about having a Wednesday birthday because
everybody else's lives are going crazy, right, So she forgot it,
texted me like later on the night, and now she
owes me a dinner.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So I'm super excited about that. She's the worst. I
don't even know why you're friends with her. She's there.
She pregnant again, by the way she is.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
She is people know that, right.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I saw it on social media.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah, she's it's now official, so we could good for her.
Man hair down on the radio.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Absolutely, congratulations and I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a
call when I get off you say congrats and say
whose baby is that? And I'm kidding. Oh Man, all right, guys,
I don't know about you, but I've been watching the
Olympics like crazy, dude. The TV is just on in
my house and I'm feeling patriotic. Call it the election year.
(28:15):
Call it the Olympics. Call it what you want. I
am fifty stars and a whole bunch of stripes, sort
of the thirteen I annoyed.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Stay away from the White House in January sixth All right, now,
let me in.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
A team USA guys. We are in the lead with
one hundred and three total medals. We have the most
medals out of any other country or sovereign state. We
have the most gold medals at this point in time
that anybody else about to be a lot more.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
As soon as the basketball final goes down, we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
More about that along with the women's volleyball indoor made
it to the gold round. I think that actually, by
the time you hear this, it'll probably be over and done.
What's hopefully add some more? But have you been watching
it all? First of all, it's always on. It's fans
gold Zone. I watched the Gold Zone. Okay, yeah, all right,
well you do watch a little.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Also my new job, ironically, like I watched sports now,
like you know, what's less sports less, Whereas like my
old job, there's TVs always.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
There because you dictated what was on there. Yeah, but
also like customer comes in like you and they say Olympics.
They'll be like, oh, did you know we got one
hundred the USA.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
You would say, I'm like, yeah, man, buy TV you
know what by mic wave, by this, you know, so
like now it's a little bit different. So honestly, no,
like I know, someone bios had a heartbreaking thing on
the balance beam. I watched golf that was freaking unreal.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
You know that was not golf was wild.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, golf was crazy, both men's and women's. You know,
that's really cool. I hope that stays forever in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know, I won't.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I've been watching highlights of four years ago when you
saw Todd Frasier in the Olympics. Also, like that mess
with my head that that was four years It wasn't
really well not really your right, it was the twenty
twenty Olympics, played in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Right, it was only three three not that it makes
a huge difference absolutely, like one year. Yeah, but yeah, no,
that is like a little bit of a mind uh
uh freak too uh because they keep referencing back, oh,
last long We're like, oh, that was four years, but
it wasn't. For it wasn't. It wasn't wasn't fake news. Man. Also,
(30:28):
it's every two or technically technically it's every four is
it technically every two years? We see an Olympics right
right between winter and summer. It's weird. It is weird,
so weird, so weird, unbelievable. Also, like gymnastics also in
the winter Olympics. Am I crazy things? You are crazy?
(30:50):
They're not they should be.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I feel like it's like because they think of like
wrestling in that, like any indoor sport, even basketball, Like,
it's weird that basketball is in the summer Olympics.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's not played in the summer. Think of it, Jesus,
like rist, He's right, Jesus, summer's outdoor sports. Why are
we playing indoors sports? You know? And I get it
because the players are accessible. God damn it, man, it's
(31:20):
so true. And I mean it's technically it's not like
a winter I'm trying to think of, like, but I take.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Exception to the fact that then the actual summer sports
aren't being played right now, right like baseball is not
being played.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Well, I do think baseball should always be in it.
I agree. I think it's it's similar to basketball. It's
very easy to do a tournament with baseball and you
know the country's I I guess the Winter Olympics. Thinking
about all of the events, there's not really like even
the indoor events are still cold, right like ice skating, hockey,
Like it's all played like ice is involved in some
(31:56):
sort of way, you know what I mean. There's not
like a I'm trying to think of like at our
Olympic sport where a dude's just competing in like a
T shirt. Like you know, it's not like but damn man,
we won't have to revamp this whole thing. I had
to call the Olympic committee hearing me out, you guys
have been doing this.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Move basketball, put baseball back.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But then like my argument is like in why can't
we then just shift because like it would be cool
to have the actual MLB players, including Japanese players, American players,
Latin players like in in the Winter Olympics then playing baseball.
Like so it's like my brain just gets fried over it.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Like with baseball, I think it's more. Oh no, that
doesn't make sense of a contract. We got lucky.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Team USA got lucky because you had veterans like Todd Fraser,
other guys on on the team. But you also had
this youth like Adlee Rushman, like all these guys coming
up right, and uh, you know, they were able to
play for Team USA. So it was a good mix
of old and new. That's not gonna happen in four years.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I don't think you know it is coming back for LA, right,
LA baseball will be back. Good has a break. I
don't even think break dancing has been on yet. I
haven't seen it. I haven't seen breaking that. Does that
even happen anyway? My mind is just blown right now.
They're coming to an end. The Olympics. The closing ceremony
(33:27):
is on the eleventh. I believe basketball had quite the
dramatic game on Thursday, almost dropping it to the Serbians. However, dude,
so if you watch, they came back from like a
seventeen thirteen to seventeen point deficit at the start of
the fourth quarter. It was. It was insane. In the
(33:48):
nine minute drive from my gym to my house the
fourth quarter started, I'm like, all right, let me get
home for the end of this game. By the time
I pulled in my driveway, they had already tied it up. Yeah,
it was. It was wild. Steph came up big, Lebron, Embad,
even KD. They all came up big. But honestly, the
more I watched that entire game, like they just they
(34:13):
they couldn't have been they were putting it all out
there when they were like, no, up that creek and
they played with their food. Yeah, absolutely absolutely coming was
fun this day. And but now they got France on Saturday.
It should be a good one hopefully, you know. Maybe No.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I was laughing because I was thinking, like maybe they
figured out a way they could bet on the game.
It's not an NBA game, and they're like, yo, if
we lose, we had this X amount, like we could
make a ton of money because the money line was
like plus twenty thousand for them.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
What Yeah, so imagine they don't nobody wants a bronze medal. Dude,
again that Lebron already has a bronze. Bron's got two
golds and a bronze. I uh oh god, you just
made another good point. What are the rules? Can like
Olympians bet on themselves? You can bet on the Olympics.
(35:07):
This is just the first Olympics were like pretty much
at home. Betting is a thing like right, Yeah, I
feel like Fanda wasn't that big during COVID.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
No, we at least we weren't thinking that way, you know,
even we.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Were DraftKings or whatever. Yeah, oh my god, oh my god,
so many good points powers Like all right, Noah Lyles
came in third at the two hundred meter on Thursday
and that was like his event, and then he claims
he got COVID and that's why he came in third, Like,
do you think he dropped it because he bet on
(35:40):
on anybody but him? And also did they all have
like their own versions of the interpreter? Yeah? What dude? God,
we gotta take a quick break. I gotta digest this
what just happened. And then when we come back, we're
talking about everything on social media that Mike and I
had found and picked up. There's some wild and crazy stuff, guys.
(36:02):
You just gotta wait to hear. This is the vide
live on Fox Sports The Game.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
You're listening to The Divide right here on The Gambler.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
The vide Live Fox Sports The Gambler.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
We're back. Let's take a look at our socials and
see what crazy things have popped up. What's been a
little bit of a slow week as far as life,
since Hurricane Debbie has kind of blown some crappy weather
up and around the Northeast area. Such a Debbie downer,
Such a Debbie downer. No, what was not a Debbie downer?
(36:31):
Is Hurricane Debbie Blue nearly one million dollars worth of cocaine.
That's all the way to Florida, Debbie Upper. Oh my god,
that's Mother Nature really telling you. That's someone's mad that
they're missing a million dollars worth of cocaine.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
But I saw it like sharks, like they found cocaine
and a lot of sharks.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Like there's coked up sharks right now traveling around the show.
Real man. Yeah, but that's a hell of a lot
of cocaine to ruin somebody's day. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Of course, Border patrol.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Picked it up before anybody else could. Narcs Our socials
have been blowing up NonStop ever since we talked about it.
Mm hmm. But all of the open swims at the Olympics, dude,
I told that filthy, filthy, filthy river. It looked like
the lake from Wiwonka. Dude. When the Hungarian athlete swimmers
(37:26):
were saying they're literally avoiding brown things in the water.
What is it the Sen the sen scene, Sammy Swim
sam Sam Tonight, the Cyan River, Siam. It's just absolutely disgusting.
I told you that. I was there. I was there.
(37:48):
I was like, they're like, yeah, I would clean it up.
I was like, people are going to swim in this.
They're like yeah. I was like, you know.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
And and also like it's just such a hot take
from France because like they were like you weren't allowed
to ish or like try to retrieve metal out of
the river because they said it was a a burial
place for for people that passed away during all the wars,
and that there was bodies down there.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
But all of a sudden, like, yeah, you can swim
in it.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Well it's not even a river.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, It's like, it's not it's a body. It's a
sword pipe. It's a sword pipe that surrounds France and
gives you great views of the Eiffel Tower. It's not, guys,
it's not a river. I don't know why they keep
do they even call it a river. They might just
call it like a waterway or something, but it's it's not.
It's drainage. It's where the sewage go. It's literally what
it is. It's it's not it's just where people are.
(38:42):
Like you have you have Olympic athletes, you have had
like the peak athletes representing every single country swimming in
it and getting ecoi sough like.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
And when I when I was there, like I was
asking some of the tour and you know, tour guides
and stuff like that, I was like, oh, like, what
are they gonna do like rowing there? And they're like, no, no,
people are gonna swimming it. I was like, that is
terrible because like even the Trenton Triathlon like.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
That you guys did. I was like, are you really
gonna go in there, like you.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Know, Mercer County Park.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, I was worried about that. That's a nasty You
came out looking like reverse so bad, needles everywhere. Al Right,
what's next? None the list. Pole Vaulter went viral for
twerking after winning medal, claps back at the critics, apparently
on Canadian what's her name here? What's her name here?
(39:42):
Alicia Newman? That sounds Canadian? It does, actually very Newman,
new Newman Newman. She took the bronze medal in pole
vaulting for women a little twerk afterwards. Apparently she does
have a fans account, which is interestingly again that name
is Alicia new But some people had some things to say,
(40:08):
and she's like, I made a lot of friends on
all these different accounts and I'm not gonna be apologetic
for it. So good for you, especially for when the
Brons was still doing that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
There's only one account people are worried about. But yeah, no,
that's cool. Like I don't know, like whatever, like I
don't think of it.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Like.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I don't care anymore. Yeah, Like like I feel like
if you talk to five people, I laugh one of
them has one of those accounts, not not even the
account part.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Like I laugh about the twerking because like, dude, like
we had movies where like what was it like Save
the Last Dance or whatever where or one of those
dance movies I can't remember, but they're like we have this.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Exclusive dance club and like when.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
They went there, like they're just grinding up on each other,
like that was like twerking with somebody in front of you,
we're behind you, Like it was never it was straight
up dry humping on the dance like at least now
the women are twerking and like there's not a dude
just standing behind them doing absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
That was our generation, man, that was our generation. Like, Yo,
you want to go to you want to go out
to Chili's. Sudden, three people just dumping each other.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Oh my out of control, it's out of control, Like
we'll be goddamn Chili's.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Oh my god, actually getting off topic, which is what
we do best. Those movies would crack me up because
they would have things like save the Last Dance and
then like or something like bring it on or whatever. Yeah,
and then they'd be like it did so well, and
they're like, all right, we need a sequel. We need
to We're gonna save the Last Dance again. We're gonna
bring it on again. Then they phoned it in with
(41:53):
the title what are they gonna do again? Yeah, the
Last Dance again.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Like in that era, they made like every scenario cool,
like the drum line, Like they had Nick Cannon doing
that and it was the coolest thing in the world. Right, Like,
I'm sorry, I don't care if you're the best drum
line in the world. I'm not watching a movie about
you anymore. It's like watch me on one snore.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
So oh and we're all watching it like it's real
life too.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Like that was the funniest part about this, Like there
was actually competitions.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Like this that got that hard that like thousands in
bro it's it just goes to show. I mean, of
course with all these these streaming platforms now there's like
too much.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
It's like you can't get excited for people get.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Upset, like because that DVD, like those movies would never
be made now, like and they're not being made.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
No, but even like people that would go see that
and they're like, oh, like even they use drumline for example,
people went bananas over it, and it's like if that
were to drop today, people are like, oh okay, Like
it's just like we had not we had exposure to
nothing else. We were like, okay, you watch it on DVDA,
stare at my wall or watch Nick Cannon play the
snare drum for two hours.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
And also like schools are still showing that stuff because
like hilariously like they can't find other content without like
downloading all these apps now pretty much speaking of that,
did you see Old Dads?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Did you see that movie on Netflix? No is that
Bill Burr. It's so fun, is it? It's so you
gotta watch it? All right, It's there's so much, dude,
Netflix draw.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
I feel like, either I haven't been on Netflix in
a while.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
They just drop like three new shows or three shows
that we usually watch all have new seasons. I still have, dude,
I have too much on my list. Yeah, they abandoned
my kid for the next year and just watch them.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
They definitely took over, like that whole Comedy Central vibe.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Yeah, and I'm happy for it.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Good.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
I'm happy for it.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
Because they're making the movies. Adam Sandler's back in the mix,
you know, Bill Burr obviously. Shane Gillis like, you know
so uh and my guy Francis Ellis like there's a
ton of people that are getting their reps now in
Netflix that they wouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Fantastic. Yeah, I thoroughly enjoy Shane Gillis all of it,
Like even it just good. I have Netflix by Comedy
Central for all I care. I mean, just keep all
the funny stuff on Netflix. The more the merrier. Yeah,
all right, last piece of news, because I'm gonna need
someone to explain this to me a little bit better.
Hulk Hogan is considering legal action over Ben Affleck's movie
(44:31):
about his past lawsuit. Apparently, Matt Damon and Ben Afflack
are making a movie or in the process of spitball
in a movie called Killing Gawker, which would detail Hulk
Hogan's lawsuit against the now defunct website Gawker. Ben Afflack
would be the one playing Hulk Hogan. And I don't
(44:52):
know what Matt Damon's doing. I don't know if he's
just helping write it or what. However, as mancho man,
you're gonna have to explain to me because I don't
even remember.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
I remember his lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
It was about his sex tape that got leaked, right, Yeah,
and it got leaked on this Gawker website website. Yeah,
but refresh my memory. I didn't didn't he get a
deal cut? Like, wasn't he paid for it to get released.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
I I don't know the inner workings of that. I'll
leave that to like the legal team and stuff like that.
But what I do know is, yeah, it was this
drawn out court thing where they were referencing his weekly
appearance on a radio show and like the size of
his member, like and he was like ho, Cogan has
(45:39):
a nine inch I don't like, so, like he was
separating the persona versus like him, so they had to
like go through all her that stuff. And they also
like I remember the one thing was in that tape
he was caught saying racial slur.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Oh yeah, that part I remember.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
So I what I love about this is like he
made a beer for strictly America, right, but he's like,
you know, we all just want to love each other,
you know, we want borders to be protected. Like he
just nonchalantly like drops things that happen to be conservative.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Like as opposed to like just saying.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
For all America, it just bought my beer, especially if
you're white, like you know, that's that's what he says.
And it's just like it blows my mind because it's like, yo,
this is not exactly for all America. So like with
this whole thing, it's gonna kick that back up. And
obviously he's trying to stop it from happening, trying to
(46:43):
stop the bleeding before but Matt and Ben do this,
it would be epic.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Trying to picture Ben Affleck as Hulk Hogan. Might I
might see it just for that it's just greatly.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
I noticed he he's going through the divorce. He made
the the reverse mohawk or the mohawk like Ben Ben has,
like yeah, he shaved off the sides and just has
the top now like it's a high. So I don't
know what he's doing, but uh, and maybe it's because
he realizes like that has to grow back and then
he'll shave that at the end and then be Hogan.
(47:19):
You know, I'm very curious to see how he's ho coing.
Oh no, I can see Matt being Hulk over Ben.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I feel like Ben could do a more serious version,
where if Matt were to do it, it would just
be like two satire too, like everybody wouldn't take him serious,
