Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Hello there, and welcome to another episode of
(00:03):
Off the Air, the weekly podcast from the Lynch and
Tacos Show at one O one one w JR. On
Orlando on Pat Lynch, Taco Bob.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Is the video working today, because I know yesterday I
heard when you guys had the life coach in that
it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
We are live on Facebook, yes, sir, all right, it
is working. The greeting standing of you who might be
joining us as this happens in real time, feel free
to comment as you see warranted, or if you just
want to lark, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Fine, Yeah, fine when you comment. The easiest ways is
you can DM us on the Facebook live or just
text in at two two five two six if you
have anything specific you want to ask or talk about today.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So I get let's hit this real quick. We were
just a few minutes ago as we wrapped up the
show talking about this NBA gambling situation that looks like
is about to get blown wide open. They had some
issues a few years ago with the Toronto Raptors player
who was kicked out of the league, and now it
looks like further investigations have been going on with the
(01:07):
FBI who are set to hold a news conference here
while we're doing this podcast to explain some arrest arrests
that occurred yesterday, including a Miami Heat player here at
Orlando the morning before their season opener against the Magic
last night, and then the coach of the Portland Trailblazers,
(01:28):
Chauncey Billups.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Are you able to turn it on that TV and
just keep it muted?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I don't know where they're going to be carrying the
press conference. I mean, if you know where it's being aired,
I can no.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, I just knew that you found that it was
at ten, so I have the ESPN tab open here.
They signed to carry it, but uh, I would think
they'd have to. If you're ESPN your sports. If you
don't carry this kind of news, you suck this.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Uh. This does not surprise me in the least. Yeah,
this whole Uh, it's just the temptations too great and
I'm not gonna just pin it on the NBA this he.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Rose back in the day. Hell, I would do it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Well, if you were a professional athlete, you would you
would throw games or.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
No, I wouldn't because I know what goes with the
rest of it. I watch Blue chips and different movies
of people throwing games. It when it comes back, it's snowballs, hardcore,
and all of a sudden you're wrapped up with people
that want to kill your.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Ass because you didn't score enough, or you score too
few yeah, or you knocked.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That guy out in the second round and it's supposed
to be the third. You don't mess with those kind
of people that are in charge of all that, Betton.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You know the way the way that and again I
neither of us have any issue whatsoever with gambling. Gambling
is your thing, fine, we love it, but if you're
participating in the sport that you're placing bets on, that's
a completely different conversation. Yeah, so anyway, and then's just
(03:04):
the way that sports gambling is just.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What's the word accepted now?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It's embedded right in hell, ESPN, bet It's it's right,
the worldwide leader in sports is completely tied into sports
gambling without a doubt.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So it's know how things have changed.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's just out in the open now, is all it is.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And a lot of problems are coming from that. That's
a whole different topic. But like with the you know,
college kids and having access to stuff. I watched my
friend's kid. He is doing whatever. He is all right cool.
I won fifteen bucks, so I'm gonna go ahead, and
he ended up dumping. His logic was I need to
(03:50):
have this amount for this monthly payment for something else,
like a bill that he had to pay. He goes, yeah, dad,
if I bet this twenty five the fifteen, and he
had if I bet that here, and then when he goes,
I can cover the water bill because all I gotta
do is win on that bet, I'm like, are you
kidding me? You're in college, dumb ass. You should You're smart,
(04:12):
you should know this stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's funny though, because you mentioned college kid. The old
the oldest joke in the book is you know, I
was gonna bet the kid's college funds.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You know I'm going to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But you know there's there is some truth to that.
Oh yeah, it's the way gambling is now. It's just
so easy. You don't you don't literally have to have
cash in hand to bet.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, that's where the problems are coming up. Yeah. I
had one one friend. This is before it was so
open and everybody could do it. But he was at
UF and he had guys in town. The bookies wanted
to kill him. He's a college kid. They wanted to
kill him. He had to move out of town and
(04:55):
they would look around for where he was here. Think
about that. Yeah, then he had to fess up to
the parents and just say, look, that's why I had
to leave. You get into a great school like that,
and you gotta leave you guys, I had to leave.
I got these guys coming down to me. Could you
just give me some money so I could send a lot?
And he ended up having to, you know, because they
found him here and had to settle it. Think about
(05:15):
that when you were in college. I'm studying and doing
this and that, and then having that ship on top
of it. I'll get that water bill covered though. Yeah,
I seriously heard him say that. Is he joking?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I almost feel, you know, with my water bill saga
that I need to gamble to come up with extra
funds to pay that. Yeah, go on that another sports
really related So that's I'm sure that FBI news conference
is going to be quite quite interesting. It sounds like
this investigation has been going on for a few years
(05:52):
at this point, so who knows what else will on earth?
Will basketball be the only sport that is subject to
that this go around, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, there's a bunch of investigations going on with whoever
that one guy is. I forget. He's pretty well known
dude in sports that is just whittling through all these sports.
He's the one that did the big NFL investors and
all that stuff and figured out where somebody didn't even
have a job, you know what I'm talking about, Oh,
(06:21):
no show jobs. Yeah, yeah, it was he. He dug
in and figured out that one. And there's he's like,
this is just scratching the surface. Wait until you see
what big corporations are.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's It's what I'm talking about. It's worst kept secret
in the world. And again, yeah, like it's not just
professional level at this point by any means whatsoever. It's
just gonna get worse, just gonna get worse. On a subject,
slightly related subject.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, this is funny. What what you're gonna do?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Oh? College game Day is at Vanderbilt in Nashville this
weekend for the Van Vandy Tennessee game. And you know,
Vanderbilt become a great story of the last couple of seasons. Traditionally,
the you know, the doormat of the SEC. But they've
got a quarterback and a team and a coach that's
got it going on and that college game days, they're
(07:16):
there and part of college game Day as many of
you know who watch, and it's become one of the
most popular segments on the pregame show is the kick
the field goal kick for X amount of money as
determined by one of the hosts, Pat McAfee, who it's
his own cash that he puts up each week, depending
on how he feels and how generous he wants to be,
(07:39):
how much he wants to put at stake for a
randomly drawn student.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Something tells me that that cash is he's getting it
from like home depot or something. You know.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
In all honesty, when he started this idea, he made
such a payday with his ESPN deal. He was very
open about it. He's like, more money than I know
what to do with, so I'm gonna share it. He
shares it with his crew as well. Oh yeah, for
his show. But so he puts up whatever amount each week,
(08:09):
and it can vary. I mean, there's been huge numbers
and then sometimes other folks will step up and say
we'll match this or a charity you'll get involved in.
It's cool. It's a cool segment of it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Like you said, it's one of the best segments. And
I got a bone to grind on that one in
a minute or an extra grind.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So this week with it being Vanderbilt and the student
body knowing, hey, uh, you know, we're gonna show up
and that if you want to be eligible to be
the one to try to kick the field goal to
win the cash, you your name goes into a drawing.
You have to show up at a certain time and
(08:45):
it's a it's a lottery, random lottery drawing. So with
that in mind, this week about one hundred students took
the football team up on an offer to come out
and have some kicking instruction done.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That's why I said at the beginning, this is great.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The Vanderbilt kickers took time with their fellow non athlete
student to teach them. Hey, here's some ins and outs
of if you were the lucky one pick to try
the field goal, some tips to maybe help you be
successful in scoring that cash.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And you know McAfee, if we know about this, Pat
McAfee already got into this, so you know he's gonna say.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Even though, and he'll make a whole bit out, but
I still don't care. I'll still pay the money because
you sucker. Now here's my extra grind with this. Did
you notice anything on College Game Day last weekend?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I did not watch a lot of the show last weekend.
I had a lot of other stuff going on last
Saturday morning. But what are you referring to?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
They did not show the kicking contest alive. They did
it during a commercial break, really, and I was floored.
I was like, what the hell you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Really swear? How did that happen?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Whatever the scheduling was or they were behind, I don't
know what it was. They had to probably haul ass.
I'm not the programmer. All I can tell you is
that I fast forward fastward. I'm like, where's the kicking contest?
What the hell? What's going on? And then he made
light of it, he said, oh, yeah, we had to
do the kicking contest during the commercials. Here's what. And
(10:23):
it just showed the person kicking. It was a snippet,
let's say, of three seconds of the guy just running
up and kicking, in comparison to usually yeah, the whole
yeah production that's all built out and everything, and that's
the coolest things. Did the dude make it last weekend?
I don't remember because I was so pissed yelling at
the TV. It's like, that's bullshit. That's one of the
(10:45):
reasons why I watch it, because that's, in my eyes,
that's the best wart it.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I think it's cool though, that the Vanderbilt football team
it's getting on board and like, hey, let's get let's
get one of these students in cash Man, you know,
so you take a little bit of time to give
him some kicking tips.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's cool. I think it's awesome like that a whole
lot if you fellas did in tips and then you know,
I'm saying, hey, we did kind of teach you how
to kick. You want to kick back a little bit
to me. So it is. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You watch that and anybody who's ever tried to kick
a field goal or kick a football just period. You
have to do it just right, or it goes all sideways,
whether you're kicking or punting.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah. Remember I was going to be a kicker in
high school for the football team.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, And it's just it looks way easier than it actually.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Is as hard as hell. I remember you at the
We did an appearance in a parking lot at I
don't know if it was Dick Sporting Goods or one
of those, and it was to punt or not punt,
but kick in between the field, you know whatever, and
kick a field goal. But they set it up and
when you looked at it, it was so daunting, was so
(11:53):
far away. It was to win, like a really good
grand prize. So they made the field goal even smaller,
you know, like a mini version. I'm like, come on,
at least let them get closer. They're like a big
ass prize. I It was hard. Nobody people were just flumble.
It's just like you see on game day.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's funny. When played high school football, the coaches wanted
us all to understand that the importance of other positions
on the team and appreciate your fellow teammates and the
positions they play. So from time to time they would
(12:31):
do something like send us linemen over with the kickers
who are always off by themselves for practice, just kicking
and punting. Go over there and try a few kicks
and see. You know, you guys sit here, you talk
crap and know how easy it is, and they don't
have to do squad go over there and try some
field goals. You have big fat asses, so we would
go over and try some field goals. And that's you
(12:53):
know where I'm saying, way easier said than done. It's
hard on.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
The flip side unless you got a boot of a
leg and that's what I had growing up with soccer.
So and you have control in soccer, you would have
to as well. Yeah, but I went and kicked at
a showalter fields where I practiced, and I nailed them.
But it was it was daunting looking at it. Gone,
Holy cow, dude, that things. It looks like it's shrinking
(13:20):
right now.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Thing about the pressure being on National TV live on
Game Day on a Saturday morning, and those thousands of
fellow students they are screaming and yelling, and McAfee screaming
and yelling, and Herb Street you know, making comments as well.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And it's all that for one hundred thousand dollars, which
is in the back of your head or more. Yeah,
and you're going, oh God, I got I'd get I'd
get hot belly. I'd be like, I gotta go to
that portal that real quick. And diarrhea.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Then I come back, Oh one other thought on you know,
the lineman having to kick field goals. It didn't end there.
They would have like the the running backs and receivers.
M hm, they go, you guys have some appreciation for
the big guys up front, go over and push the
blocking sled. You know, see how easy you think that is.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Did they do it where they had the kickers go
and do any of the other stuff like running backs stuff.
That's what I'm saying. They made all of us. Yeah, yeah,
I listened. You said they made us big guys go
over to the kicking, but then you mentioned running backs
and tail they made the kickers do frontline stuff like you.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Do know, they made the kicker kickers be defensive backs, okay,
to appreciate you know, that part of the game.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, so that's what I was wondering.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
But it was all it was a whole you know, shift,
different role play.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I knew everything was shifted. I just didn't know. Just
think about it for a sec. You want to risk
your kicker's leg when they're doing these things, and all
of a sudden, because that's a specialty that those guys
are kind of pussies. I'm not saying pussies. That's the
whole idea behind McAfee's saying. I'm saying they're not as strong. Obviously,
(14:55):
you've seen a million as all the dudes and you know,
the front line and all that, all of a sudden
injury happens and you go, oh no, why do I use.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's incredible though we're kicking has come to now we're
going to see you know, we saw it in preseason,
the seventy.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yard field goal.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's insane, you know why though, right, I can't what.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Is the reasoning that they're doing it just because these
guys could do it?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Additional additional game day balls that they're allowed to condition, Okay,
specifically their kickers are conditioning. Yeah, yeah, the ball how
they want just and also the science of it now
the whole you.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Know figured it out. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's it's crazy.
It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You know, somebody is going to win a game with
a record breaking field goal this year, There's no doubt
about it.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Easily. I think you'll probably get a seventy three, seventy
four yards.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I don't know, I don't know how far you can
push it physically, capable of doing that act. I don't
know how high that number can ultimately go.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
You get like one of them boswell, you know, one
of them guys with the monster lag who just.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Did the Tom Dempsey record stood for decades, decades and
now you know that's been knocked off a couple of times.
But yeah, I don't know who it'll ultimately be.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's gonna happen sooner than later. So there's that. What
else we got?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, on a completely different subject, I'm dealing with something
that I haven't been able to figure out yet. Okay,
I remember yesterday I told you when I was driving
into work, there was a bunch of police action on
the main road outside my neighborhood. There's cop cars that
had traffic blocked off because a semi had driven through
(16:41):
a row of overhead lines and pulled them down.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, and your internet was one of the connectors on
there apparently.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, because our internet was I found out later was down,
and that was my guess. It had something to do
with that. And I'm also guessing the situation I have
now has something to do with that. The Internet's back up.
It came back up yesterday in a timely manner, No
no harm, no foul.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But you know, everything in the house now runs through
the Internet, including TV now it you know, use YouTube
tv for the bulk of my TV viewing, for the
channels and stuff. When it came back up, our channels
are now all out of Jacksonville. Which your channels if
you have a YouTube or Hulu or whatever with local channels.
(17:25):
It's based on your your zip code, your primary address,
your zip code which you enter when you sign up
for the service. So I'm like, okay, I know how
to fix this. I went in and the zip code
had somehow changed to Jacksonville slash Brunswick, Georgia. I went
into the YouTube app and our account and I switched
it back update home viewing area and I put in,
(17:47):
you know, my zip code for here for central Florida.
It says verified done, You're good to go.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's still Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Do you think that?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And so I'm like, what could be causing this? And
I thought, okay, maybe when the internet came back up,
they re routed wherever the servers were. Maybe they were
hanging out of an out of market server or something.
So I went I looked in my router settings. No,
(18:17):
it's originating here in central Florida, so it's not that.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Do you think it was something to do with another
line that would affect just your YouTube like that?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, the thing that's really mysterious, and this is where
I can't figure it out. I'm like, Okay, let me
see if anybody else in the neighborhood is dealing with is.
I get two other neighbors that I know have YouTube. Nope,
they've still got their local channels here out of Orlando.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So it did not affect them. It was just sorry.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So there's explicit instructions on how to fix this, and
I did everything.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It says, did you end up calling YouTube? You can't
call YouTube? He can? I did YouTube TV?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, please give me the number because the only number
I have is for sales related stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, well that's what I was doing. I was calling
sales readed stuff. Then I bet they can probably transfer
transfer you.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I called that number and it says if this is
for any other thing other than sales related, we cannot
help you.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Oh I still I still go sales related.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, I'm going to try the live chat, I think
is what I'm going to do and see if we
can figure out what's going on.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's weird because Jacksonville's really not doing that good well football.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I told my well, I will still get all the games.
But I said to uh, when I asked my neighbor
about it, one of my neighbors has YouTube TV, and
I told what was going on. He goes, oh, did
you try so? Yeah, I already tried all that. He goes,
I've had that happen before. Yeah, but it's not working.
And then he goes, oh, hey, how do the Jacksonville
news anchors? Look?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Oh, that's great.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I don't said, I really, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'll let you know, because I'd be going right to
the Jacksonville News and checking. Oh my god, you know
what I'm keeping Jacksonville YouTube news anchors are way hotter.
So yeah, like if you got Miami, you know the
news out of Miami. Yeah. So, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I just thought that was weird, and I'd like, oh,
this is an easy fix, apparently, not that you're having.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
A week that's like the meeting are tune up threw
you off schedule wise, and you've been you know, trying
to catch up from that, and then and now that
that's a pain in the assy guy. That's a first
world problem. Of course it is a first world problem.
Course of course it is. It's to the point such
a first world problem that if it happened to me,
(20:33):
I just leave it. I wouldn't give a shit. I'd
be like, I'm not doing all this work. I gotta
go on a chat with somebody, and well, good luck
with that. Oh God, and what, dude, the Jacksonville You
never tuned in for the newscaster.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I didn't even know it was on huntil my wife
tried to watch the local news. Yeah, and then I
was like, oh, I can fix that. No, I couldn't
fix it. So that was last evening though, So it
was time to go to bed, and I'm like, can
you live with it for tonight?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Go? Yeah, there's no problem. You may want to keep it, dude,
because you can have all the crazy duvall news.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Do get all that from the internet. I need the
local channels. So what's going on? We do a show
here in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But you can do all that from the internet, too,
So keep them hot jackson You can actually search them. God, oh,
one of them.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
One other thought before we wrap it up, Bob did
mention we find for after it's been a few years
since we had a station. Pow wow, the multiple hour
get to you. They call it what is the did
they still call it a tune up?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Now it's a tune up because it used to be
called a lock in and they said that has negative connotations,
like you're locking us into a freezing cold room, which
you are.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
But anyway, we don't need to get any the weeds
with that. But I just want to let you all
know that it was said multiple times, multiple times. And
this is by the you know, the higher ups up
the ladder who you don't know exist just except if
you work here. How loyal and dedicated you all are
as listeners, oh, supporters of this radio station. And it's
(22:08):
absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
So thank you, because we always say thank you. Here's
your Jacksonville newscasters, Jennifer wool or whatever. She's all right?
Is that one station? I don't even know. I just
said anchors in Jacksonville, Florida. How about this one right here?
Alicia booth Speaker. Besides having three names, which to me
(22:30):
is yated names, is a red flag Yeah, crazy eyes, Yeah,
but here, I mean she's she's actually okay. Speaking of eyes,
good on the eyes, Stacy Spanos, She's pretty good looking.
And then if you like, oh, if you like a
nice look at Amanda, look Pat Patu.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You got people left and right disputing the kick this
last week, and they said that they did it during
the second hour. Jelly Roll did it and missed it.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
They gave uh, yeah, but they showed it during commercial.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Said they gave kicking instruction from uh Rodrigo, the former
Georgia kicker. Then the kid stepped up and booted it
and just missed it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Left. Yeah, but did they show the whole thing? And
they showed it after a commercial? Right, they did this happen?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, they gave commercial They showed the initial attempt live
and then gave them a second chance, which happened. You
saw you missed the second chance, is what you missed.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I just know that they said, yeah, we played we
did the kick during commercials, and I went, gee, that's
really so you.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Missed the whole part with jelly Roll in the initial kicky. No,
I'm just telling you what multiple people here are saying
the kick did happen after being instructed by Rodrigo, the
former Georgia kicker, the guy with the thick glasses.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
