Wait a minute, are you going to the Kentucky Derby?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
You know what? Babies, thank you Fandel. It's just just
to just to clear it up. It's based on where
you are registered. So like, for instance, I am in
d C. I am registered with fandel on DC, so
I cannot bet through the fandel apperation. So unfortunately I

(00:36):

Virginia resident, Virginia or Heroin. So basically all all all
four of you are fine. It's just me. You all

like why isn't Calci and Polymarket doing.

think the big reason Churchill Down just has a stranglehold.
Calci and poly Market have come out and said they
are afraid of being fooed and they're saying, hey, you
know what we will we will roll the dice on
the sports betting, but you know the horse raising it

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Jesus Christ, seriously, I'll text over the picture from my

Speaker 3 (05:58):
That's that's a heavyhead.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's your Derby watch.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is it a Rolex?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
It is? It is? If?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Okay, so if your cheap ass watch is twenty, how
much is your Derby watch?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's a lot, It's a lot. It's it's a aple,
couple multiple of that. I I picked it up when
I was in San Franz for the Super Bowl because
the Paths were obviously going to win, and that was
going to pay for the watch. So that was an
interesting turn of events.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
But more for them, is that watch more than fifty
thousand dollars?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
It is? It is for a watch?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, do you realize you could get mud walking into
the like just walking the street to Louisville.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I am being extremely careful with that.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'd give up that London chick before I give up
that watch. If somebody runs up on.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
You, you think, yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Had a boy, Okay, I would like to give my pick.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Here's what I'm thinking. Here's what I'm thinking before you
give your pick. Okay, I'm thinking we each pick a horse, okay,
and then we can either exact to box it or
we can try box it. You're really feeling crazy. We
can even about London girl box it. He is unfortunately
not an option in this in this scenario, that was.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
My girlfriend, and you didn't say that when you were
dating a girl that's in jail still.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
And then so then if we exacta between the five
of us, okay, we have to pick horses one and two,
and then if we try it, we have to pick courses.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I only have horse one in any order. I only
have horse.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
One each person.

Speaker 2 (08:06):

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Are you ready? All right? You ready?

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm ready for you to talk to me.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Now, this is a this is it's a it's a
bit of a risky pick because there's not a lot
of history to the horse. They've only raced the Louisiana
Derby and the Tampa Bay Downs.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
He is seeking, to me, I don't excuse me.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
He is seeking to become only the second horse to
win the Kentucky Derby with only two previous starts. The
only other horse that did it was Leontes in eighteen
eighty three. And that's why this year, emerging market, it
will be your winner of the Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Emerging market. Uh, horse number eighteen? Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know memory, I don't know memory.
