I'm Russ Rollins along with Ryan Holmes and Angel Rivera
is gonna bring you monster sports. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Rosca puts action going on in the sports world. Let's
start here close to home because there's a lot of
dedicated fan base. It's a little frustrated just with a
few days into the season, and I'm looking at you
at Orlando Magic fans, and I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I understand h Orlando Magic.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
RUSS won their opening game against the Heat on fire,
well for they were in Fuego for a day and
then subsequently they've lost to the Atlanta Hawks won eleven
to one oh seven, and then they lost to the
Bulls one ten to ninety eight, and uh, Orlando Magic
(01:33):
fans already expressing frustration. I get it sometimes, you know,
your team stumbles out the gate. It's okay, it's only
you know, three games in and we have a chance
today to rectify it. They're going up against the Philadelphia
seventy six ers RUSS. It's the seven o'clock game, and
it's gonna they're on the road. They're gonna be up
(01:53):
up in Philly, and if you want to your streaming
options are again it's gonna be NBA League Pass or
if you have Fubo or if you have the fan
Dual app, you can catch the NBA game today.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So college football, of the Florida teams played this week
in RUSS, Miami number ten. Miami Florida were the only
team to play all the other colleges. They'll get back
onto it on November. The first they do did Miami wade.
They beat Stanford. They jumped all over them, beat Stanford
forty two to seven. So can congratulations to them? Are
good on them for you know, getting back on the
winning side of things.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
World Series. This is gonna be h.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I'm excited about this because it just seems like it's
just going to be willy neely because Game one the
Blue Jays jumped all over the Dodgers and beat them
eleven to four, and then Game two the Dodgers came
back and held serve and basically beat the Toronto Blue
Jays five to one.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now, did you see what they're giving credit to to?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, Joshi, just so you go, you have a Motos
the pitcher for the Dodgers. He pitched a complete game,
which is unheard of nowadays. Yeah, so he said, he
basically said or tied a record that hasn't been done
since Oral Heirscheizer for the Dodgers pitched a complete game.
It was probably one of the more epic displays of
pitching that we've seen in quite some time. And it's
(03:15):
uncommon nowadays to see a pitcher get the pitch all
nine innings. So there was there was a lot of
that going on. But what was the reason. I know
they're saying they look for that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, actually they won, so I guess this doesn't I
guess there's the curse of the.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Colonel have you seen this. I learned about it yesterday.
So there's a man, there is a Tigers, there's a
I can't I can't remember the name of the city,
but there's the Tigers in Japan. And so one of
the things they do in Japan Ryan is, as a tradition,
if you win the World Series, they get the people
of that town who look most like the baseball players
(03:49):
will jump into the lake. So thirty eight years ago,
forty years ago, something something Tigers. There was an American
baseball player on that team, but obviously none of the
people of that of that city looked like this American
baseball player. So there was a KFC right around the corner,
right and they grabbed Colonel Sanders statue and they threw
(04:11):
it into the lake. It's led to which led to
a curse the Colonel. The curse of the Colonel they
believed it was, and they believe like it took thirty
eight thirty nine years for them to finally win.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
They found it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
They started dredging the lake and looking for it, and
it took forever to find it. They found the statue,
they put it back up, but that still didn't fix
the curse for them.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So there's a guy. So they're dressing up like the colonel.
They going to the games and they believe the curse
of the Colonel is why they lost the first game. Wow,
why the Dodgers lost the first game? Well, because the
Dodgers have too.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
They got three of the best Japanese players of all time,
so they're trying.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
To bring the curse to them.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That's a They really japaneseed up the colonel again they did. Yeah,
I mean, like, that's the colonel and that's Japanese colonel
right there is different.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But he'd been he'd been underwater for thirty eight years
at that point. He lost his hand and lost the glasses.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So you know, all right, I like this tradition. That's fun.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So let's see at the curse of the Colonel. And
then so how does the colonel get like he was
right behind the pitcher's plate.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Whoever, Yeah, whoever, whoever that dude, Yeah, whoever that dude
is he got pockets.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
There's the colonel. Yeah, the curse of the Colonel. So
he's supposed to bring luck to Toronto. Okay, got it? Yeah, Yeah,
he's d luck to Toronto because he believes the curse
of the Colonel Will from the Japanese baseball players.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, all right, today we got Game three is today.
It's going to be at eight o'clock and I think
this is the first game at Dodger Stadium in the series.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So again, just keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Uh again, this is they did what they needed to do.
They needed to win one on the road, and so
this is where it gets a super interesting right off rip,
crazy NFL action yesterday, some really key injuries that kind
of bum you out, but the curse is done. Congratulations
a Russ. He did kind of did with what we
(06:13):
asked him do, and the Dolphins go in and beat
the Falcons thirty four to ten.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Nobody expected that. I got all my I said, okay,
I'll do it. I'll do exactly what Angel and Ryan said.
I got, I know what you do. But I had
my I had my Dolphin's ring on, I had the watch,
I had the hat, I had everything. I'm like, all right,
we'll give it a shot. And I'm like, and I'll
be damn if they didn't play amazing. And I would
like to think that's that's his bad.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I think that's to his best game in almost a season,
another like two seasons, a season and a half.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, he wakes up and he's got his eye is
all swollen up and they have to put a advisor
over his his helmet. He's playing basically with one eye.
He doesn't throw one interception. Last couple of weeks it's
been at three interceptions a game, and so who knows,
willy nilly, who knows what happens. But I would like
to point out that this week I wore a Patriots hat,
they won. I wore my Dolphins stuff they won. I
(07:05):
did not put on the Steelers hat and they lost.
I'm just saying I think the curses.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Dame would like to point out that, in my opinion,
the refs for the NFL are bought and sold.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Like I mean, at this point, it's you.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You can't convince me that gambling is not a major
factor in this season, the way these calls are being blown,
and it's either like two things. One, there's too many
rules right now and every game you have to have
a somebody with a PhD explain the rules of the NFL.
And two, these rep the are so weird and so
all over the place that what got you burned?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What what what you're talking about. What's example?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, first of all, Dolphins game, took it in the
shorts on that one, the Jets and Bengals game.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I do.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You can't like that. I can't prove it. This is
just allegedly from me. The vibe is though, and a
lot of people feel this way. People people are saying that,
like you feel that it feels like things are being
messed up on purpose in such a way that like
it has to be the game.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
The Falcons played terribly. Yeah, right, if you're taking bad beats,
that's on you. Yeah, if you.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You've seen it happen though, Like if the the FBI
is a resting players and coaching happening in the NFL,
You're you are you are Pollyanna.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're feeding into the hysteria. You're being hysterical because you're
taking bad beats because like again, and you're not you're
being swayed by your passion and you're not looking at
the numbers. There's no way that the Lands and Falcons
are better than the Miami.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But you've seen you've seen them, You've seen the actual math.
And people hate when you point this out that, like
the kansasity Chiefs. Right, we're shown to be getting favorable
calls more than anybody else.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Okay, so what but you be like, there's too many
moving parts, there's too many people able to gamble right now,
come on, man, I feel this way.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Man, I feel this way because you're getting your ass
handed to you because you bet You're you're.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Not beat smart, You're betting off of passion.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I'm betting in a way that would make sense.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And then these teams get these.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Calls that are essentially ridiculous, absolutely missed calls.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Nobody thought the Dolphins were gonna beat the Falcons. Nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There's plenty of I made a ton of money off
that you bet on the Dolphs. I'm telling you, I'm
a better fan about your stupid team.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Than you are telling you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
A scandal is gonna come out about this league.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's easy.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That's saying like water is wet, There's gonna be a
scandal in baseball too.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
There's gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
That will be the thing in control. And I think
you're seeing the tip of the iceberg with what's happening
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You're saying that because it seems.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Flagrant to me.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I'm sorry, when it makes me not want to watch
it because I'm give me an example, flagrant. Sometimes you're
saying this.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Man, because the Dolphins won, it's all fake. How many
football games did you watch on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I watched three football games?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did you which games?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I watched?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
The Jets in the Bay, the ones I had money
on it?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
What was the only one that wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Rigged was when I won money on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah, the games are, in my opinion, they're not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You obviously bet against the Jets, right, but I mean
did the Jets win?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Of course was insane?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
There was what questionable calls were the Jets game?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
They were just letting him be there, really letting did
you think they.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Did you think there were bad calls in the Miami
Dolphin game? Because I didn't see any bad calls. That
leads the Falcons how horrible they were? Terrible. Kirk Cousins
was again terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's it's it's it's subtle enough. Guys stopping telling you
it's subtle enough. I can't. I can't give you any
bad calls.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Other than like.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You like, look at everybody agrees with the.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
As a mild Vikings guy.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know, like when they when they hit the field goal,
hits the camera.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Wire, they're getting rekicks.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
That seems chilly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But there's a couple like, Okay, let's be fair here, right.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I can't tell there's one guy that the freezer right,
and I'm sure too took a bad beat as well.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
You can't tell me though.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Honestly, Angel, there is a bit of a vibe these
last couple of years since gambling's.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
All in right, No, you don't feel that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Look, here's the here's the and the reason I say
this is this Ryan gambling. Before it be quote unquote
became legal, gambling was still happening. The gambling has always
happened with professional sports. The only difference now is because
of the companies are agreeing to work together and form
the leagues. They're letting them know, Hey, there are these irregularities.
(11:34):
Do you think that just because gambling became legal in
the United States and certain states?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I think they all of a sudden there's there's a
bad action.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, they have it.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
They have a duty to kind of hide this stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
No, they do not, of course they The last thing
they want to get out is a betting.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Scarin asked questions listeners, saying to ask Ryan this, if
you're convinced it's rigged, why do you still gamble on
the outcome?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Because I'm a degenerate.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, you have answers.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I also know the stock markets rigged? Did I do
that too?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
All right, real quick, we'll wrap up some of these games.
We had.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Jets beat the Bengals thirty nine thirty eight, Bills beat
the Panthers. That was a fixed game. Forty nine fixed
game with the Texans the forty nine ers. Texas beat
the forty nine Ers twenty six to fifteen. Had nothing
to do with all the injuries that the forty nine
ers have. Patriots, oh that was rush. That was the
most fixed game that was there yesterday. Patriots beat the
Browns thirty two to thirteen. Eagles beat the Giants thirty
eight twenty. Buccaneers beat the Saints twenty three to three.
(12:27):
Titans and Colts of the thirty eight fourteen to the Colts.
The Colts end up being right now are the best
team in the league right now. Cowboys got just smoked
by the Broncos. Packers beat the Steelers thirty five to
twenty five of the Steelers uniforms.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, what is up with those?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The worst?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I know you guys are new to this. Steelers do
this once a year. They all pick out one of
the just bizarre throwback uniforms. Ryan in nineteen twenty two,
nineteen thirty, nineteen thirty four, I think it was thirty
four to thirty six.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And poral old Rodgers had to go back to his
old team where that uniform and they got stalmped by Love.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, so the Packers lose the Steelers thirty five, twenty five.
Then Tonight's Monday night football game. It's going to be
the Commodoores against the Kansas City Chiefs, who the NFL
wants to win according to Ryan, and that's Monster Sports.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You have the problem with the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It wouldn't be that bad if those black lines just
went all the way to the bottom of the shirt.
They look like fat bumblebet.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
There's a version that was the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
There's a version of uniform that they do that they
do every season. They do that, and they're retro. There's
a there's a couple of retro uniforms are theirs that
look good, but by and large, most of their retro
unis are kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I saw this yesterday. There's only one team in all
the years that Aaron Rodgers has been playing, those are
only one team that he's never beat, and that would
be the green Bay Packers. He's never never beat them.
That was a pretty big deal last night that he
went back and he looked pretty good at first, right
like they they were they they were in the lead
at first.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Uh well, I mean are we got we were? We
were in the league because we have an incredible field
goal kicker. But again, if you're a Steeler fans, we're
used to this. The play calling is frustrating. There was
no confidence in the defense and we were in the
lead momentarily, but green Bay was moving the ball up
and down the field with ease and it was just
(14:16):
a matter of time for them to able to put
a couple of plays together.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Okay, well yeah, just we've got one win and now
I'm back in for the Dolphins. They're not the worst
team anymore. They played well. To have played well, they
look at they had some passion. They you know, they
were playing with some gusto. That's what you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You had a definition of fair weather.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, I am. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the
monks in the morning. Tomorrow, Body, We'll start with the
Monster Guests Hall of Fame. The nominees are Don l Rawlings.
It was hilarious, Billy Gardell who was in twice last
(15:00):
year and was very well loved. What a nice guy.
Nick Swartzen was in. He was hilarious. He was in
on the day that we did Pizza bazasz TJ. Miller
was in. He was in for I think five segments.
He gave us a bunch of Theman butter and stuff,
and then he went out to Gator Land with Savannah
and did the He was awesome guy. Guy Tory always
(15:23):
a killer here. TEITL Piper, you know, had a great
appearance here and Christy Martin. All of those are your
nominees for the twenty twenty five Monster Guest Hall of Fame.
Voting starts tomorrow at Real Radio dot FM, and you,
the listeners will decide who is going to be in next.
Still a little more monster sports stuff. I wanted to
cover a little bit that. Did you see the story
(15:45):
about that former and you mentioned this last week Angel
where that former Jets player went online and asked to listen.
I don't have any family members that can help me
with this. I've got a kidney disease. I need a
kidney to save my life. And you know, when you
said it, I thought, okay, well there'll be somebody that
will step up, you know and do that. And uh,
(16:06):
and he passed away. He did not make it. He's
a former Jets player, Nick Man gold is his name,
forty one years old. This was making all the national
news this morning. And did you see Rex Ryan who
they interviewed him, you know, but I guess he played
for Rex Ryan. And man, he started bawling on you
know when he did the interview because he really really
(16:28):
loved this guy. Really, you know, he was a you know,
a big time you know, he played for them, and
he really really like seeing the headlines. I didn't I
didn't see the footage. I didn't watch that much. Yeah.
And one of the sad parts about that, he seemed
like a good dude. Uh, he's got I think it
was five kids, four kids. And he said he's always
known that he had this rare kidney disease and he
(16:49):
knew this day would come at some point. But he
thought it would be when he was in his sixties.
I had no idea it would come in his forties.
And he had no family members that could help him
with a with a kidney. So he went online kind
of last you know, sort of wait a little too late,
and that they're saying, went on, went online. Okay, if
anyone's got a kidney, I really could use it now.
(17:10):
And uh and he passed away over the over the weekend.
And and you know we kind of I remember, you know,
with a s b K. Now he wasn't looking for
a kidney sober that Kevin was looking for a kidney. Well,
it was a kidney, okay. So I remember when Kevin
came in, he was telling us how many people are
in line to get a kidney. Uh. And it's got
(17:30):
to match up with your blood type, right, like there's
I know blood type is one of them.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know what the other parameters are that what
other things have to be agreeable with And obviously you
also need someone that will donate to donate it to you.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yea. What ended up happening was that there was a
fan out in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That uh, you know, did the test to see if
he was compatible, and then that was how Kevin was
able to get his.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
So Kevin got his. Yeah, and this former just playing.
I mean you talked about this last week right when
he when he put it out there that he needed
a kidney, and and it you know, it was a
little too late that he asked for it. But yeah,
I was watching the inter with Rex Ryan, I'm like,
oh man, that's that's that's heartbreaking. Uh. And I'm wondering
(18:18):
how many people are in line for a kidney. I mean,
you gotta in order to donate normally probably have to
be someone in your family, someone you really know, I mean, because.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I know blood type is definitely one of them. And
then and again I don't know, so I don't know
how the kidney donation process works. I don't know if like,
let's say, if you're a you've got two healthy kidneys
and you just want to sign up and be like, hey,
you know, here's my run a screen on me, this
is my blood tests, or you know whatever, and if
(18:51):
through the national database, like if someone needs one, I'm
willing to volunteer or donate it, just let you know,
let me know, or that if it goes you know,
like person by person.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
From this article from USA Today. It said he had
a genetic condition that impacted his kidneys. Yeah, that may
have complicated the matching process a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That's why it was more complicated. He said he always
knew this day was gonna come. He thought he'd be
in his sixties, is what he had said. Now. And
if they would have ran, I mean the little piece
they ran on him, and they showed when he was
inducted into the Ring of Honor for the Jets. You know,
he did this whole thing where he walked out, he
cracked open a beer and everybody went crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, he was a love player.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He was a well loved player. He's got these like
his family meant everything to him. They showed him playing
with his kids, and like, if they would have ran
that little spot three weeks ago, maybe someone might have,
you know, stepped up and gave him the kidney he needed.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, he's one of those guys that, like, you don't
really see a lot of people rocking like a Ligneman jersey. Yeah,
but people would wear his for sure. Yeah that's so
sad and they're so so young. But yeah, I guess
he knows. He knows it's coming. That's that's the thing.
That's why it's important to be an organ donor. I
don't know if you need a kidney from an alive person,
because it always seems like people are that way, but.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Not necessarily because uh again, depending on if they're time
of death, like if you were over donor on your
driver license and you've selected that, you know, if they're
able to get to that, that's one of the things
that they will try to get.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, and match up or.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
We're not you're yours. Uh, we're not you You'll be fine. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,
it's it's it's just it's sad, and it seems like
it should be so much easier, right, Like people are
dying left and right all the time. Yeah, how does
this happen? That makes me worried for when something like
that's gonna happen to me. Because this guy was a
rich guy, you know what I mean, you're able to
(20:47):
move the needle a little bit more so if he.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Was rich and well loved and couldn't get it, couldn't
get a kidney, he had no family that could give
it to him.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So that's what I'm saying, there's there's got to be
more parameters on on the watching. I don't think it's
just blood. And like Ryan is saying, because of his
genetic condition or what was going on with his kidney,
that's probably made the matching process even.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Needs to be an app that's kind of like tender forth,
like getting other people's organs, Like like you have a
backup guy, right, You're like, Okay, you know, I found
this guy. I'm getting his liver soundly over there. I'm
getting one of her kidneys. I'm getting Jeff's gallbladder if
things go on, and then if things go wrong with them,
I'm like, okay, I'm giving my kidney to this person.
And you kind of do it that way. Why do
(21:30):
we not have that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Person in the world that you could set that up?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh yeah, and then I guess people would kill you though. Yeah,
I see the immediate downside.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And going back to the you know what Ryan have
brought up about, he feels like the NFL is, you know,
the gambling has made the NFL where you can't trust
the the play calls and all, not the play calls,
but you know, the everything really Yeah, but again it's
a lot of people commented on that.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, it's it's one of these weird arguments, like everyone
that's in agreement. It's like, wait a minute, gambling didn't
just start now. Gambling has been happening since the yeah
sponsor the NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Now they talk about it openly like FanDuel did this.
It is part of the game now, which is odd.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Okay, And there's people that have inside information they just
passed at.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You concede that, and you're and Ryan, you're right. And
almost in every circumstance since they've legalized gambling, those people
John tay Porter has already been kicked out of the league.
There's another couple of guys that are about to be
kicked out of the league. So they're catching it as
as fast as they're.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
They can be as subtle as like, okay, So so
you work for ESPN, right, your reporter, you don't have
the gambling account, but you're like, oh, I know this
player is out and I just found out that information.
I'm just gonna text my friend Brad, who's far away.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
But hey, you know this guy's out.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
What if someone would have woken up you know what
I just saw to it to his eye is all
swollen to day. Let me tell everybody that his eyes
all swollen to day, and they did, and he's he
played better and he's ever played Like you never really know.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But I'm just saying, if you if if it's people
like me and a lot of people in our TEXTI
Sirta's people in our chat that perceived there's a problem
that's bad for the NFL already perception.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
What would you think about this? What if now if
we didn't rely on refs as much, but everywhere they
can they rely on, like I say, robot refs. But
like that's rush, that's.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's getting ready to happen because it was because people
having these issues with perception and not wanting to base
their facts in reality. It perceives that they're cheating going on.
So that's why they're doing it in baseball. And we
already have the robots that are calling balls and strikes, right,
they're already doing in tennis.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Uh, they're first stuff, first down. But you're.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
So they're testing that out as we speak in the NFL.
So yeah, they are going to take because again what
Ryan's saying, because you know people are susceptible to their perceptions,
then they're going to eliminate that human component altogether. Now,
would you rather have a human or would you rather
have a computer telling you that this is a first
time computer?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, they doesn't matter to me if it's of human
Like I think.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do you want to do you want to a robot
tell it calling balls and strikes?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah I do?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I think it's like because because the gambler and you're
feeling this way, so it's weird, but you take it
this position is really bizarre. What is the truth? You
want the truth? Right, so, but there's whether this was
a strike or not.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You want it to be accurate, you know, to make
it fair for the athlete, you know, like whether you
got the first down or not.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Like that is frustrated, especially especially if you do have
money on it and the bad call and and you
just sit there and go like and we're not going
to do anything about this.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Because of the money, and because of the influx of
all this money. Everyone that feels like Ryan, you're going
to get what you want. You're going to there are
going to remove remove the human element for calling balls
and strikes. So the the the nice kind of uh
organic kind of feel to that is going to be
gone and it's going to be complete black and white.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
There's not going to be any money exactly.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Like I want black and white in my sports though,
Like that's that's the thing. And I know Baseball is
the worst about it because tradition and whatever. But like
with football, but the NFL is is one of the
bet for their bet for their credit better or worse.
They're willing to change their game, and they've done it
so many times. They add in a lot of rules,
they take out a lot of rules, they'll change how
how kickoffs are done. So I would say adding in
(25:26):
the Robots to the NFL is probably the easiest league.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I will say this for for uh, for the type
of fan that I am, I enjoy all of it.
I enjoy in the sense of this because because I
don't have not don't have money riding on every single bet,
so I'm not gonna be right out of a pocket.
Just assume that because I got beat on this bet,
then the fix is in.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I'll take the worst, the worst to gamble on. I
wish they would have placed in with robots Little League
World Series.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Those parents get in there.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Sometimes and then they start affecting the game, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Like that angel. For years and years, the reason that
gambling wasn't you know, involved with sports is because they
were afraid that the people would would cheat and affect
the outcome of you know, I'm sure. And then somehow
magically we've all forgotten about that and now like gambling,
it's okay for gambling to be not just talked about,
but they sponsor the shows. You know, Fan Duel sponsors
(26:19):
the show. So gambling has let.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The betting lines into the progress.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, it is of it, Okay. So I don't understand
what your the argument is here because the way that
you two are talking right now, you make it sound
like gambling just started a few years ago. There's been
gambling on sports forever. The nineteen nineteen twenty six series
World on second nineteen twenty six World Series, the Black
White Sox scandal, Black Socks scandal where they fixed the
(26:45):
the World Series.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
But it wasn't it wasn't legal then they were, they were,
it's now now it's legal. Accept a difference because now
it's it's it's bigger, it's there's more, Yes, it means
more money. And when you're gonna have more and more about.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It, you guys are saying this because you think that
you know all all about the gambling that was happening
before it was made public. Gambling may like it's one
of the things that made the mafia gamblings has happened
in Europe. Gambling has been going on forever.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, it's bigger and more they were based off of
what There's more money involved now than there ever has been,
which means there's.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
More money that they've taken from the mafia. Sure, okay,
but like, I don't understand this idea that because it's
up front now there's it's more corrupt now.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
More chances of corruption because there's more money, and when
you have more money, there's more reasons for people to
want to cheat. That's just what I believe.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like you not the guy, random
guy sitting in his suburban home in Ohio wasn't going
to a mafia bookie and dealing with like the dark.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Side of of the sports.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Based off of how are you saying that based off
of what that's how it gambling.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
With Mamma wasn't pulling in tens of billions of dollars,
you know, they were not not like this, Yes, they
were right, there's this is this is a such an
insane amount of money compared to like before it was legal.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Everyone that once the gamble can do it right on
their phone anytime they want. It's it's it's much bigger
and a lot more money involved.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So that you're but you guys are talking to me
as if like the all these companies aren't working together
to catch these guys. They are, that's how That's why
it's it's more upfront. Now they've already kicked out a
handful of players in the NBA. They've already kicked out there,
like they're the guys that the players, coaches, people associated
with this, even the mob who was running a rigged
(28:35):
poker game. It's more to the forefront. So as much
as you're saying that it's out there upfront, they are
also catching and suspending and kicking out players.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Well, those are the ones we know about. You're right, Wait,
hold on, but.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Just five ten years ago, before it was legal, you
didn't know about any of them.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But but now you know that it's out there.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
But it was always out there, Okay, it used.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
To be not allowed. They used to be not and
they still did and they did. You're right, but not
as much as now. And now there's that's a lot
based off of what basic look at the look at
everybody's app The apps are out there, angel, I mean
you you got to know that there are a lot
more people are gambling than they ever were.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Okay, yeah, okay, and what I'm saying, so but what
you're saying, what you guys are trying to tell me,
and this is why I'm trying to I'm having a
hard time with it. So you're saying, because it's out there,
more people are player Because this is what we're talking about,
players and coaches and people in the league are going
to cheat more.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
No, I think there when when the money gets bigger,
the the incentive to one to cheat probably is going
to increase when when there's a lot more millions.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
What I just said, so, the people that the people
that can affect the games are going to be the players,
the coaches.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
While I think there was proof of that in the
NBA there there there was great and every single time
that they've been caught, they've been kicked out. Well when
they've been caught exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And all the apps are working together with the FBI.
So when I when I bet, uh, when I'm under
on some guys rebounds, spikes, They're like, this is irregular,
this shouldn't be happening.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
To what you're saying is you don't think there's going
to be a gambling issue with the NFL. Oh absolutely, okay.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Thing there's guys that are there. There are guys that
are dumb, like Chauncey Billups, like John tay Porter like this, uh,
the other guy that got arrested, right, They're not they're
not getting it and they don't think that these apps
are are are taking it. But it's like, but that
was happening even before the apps, like Jordan's has great
stories of him gambling, Barkley gambling, There's there's stories of
(30:31):
all these guys gambling.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah. I just think you're gonna see more gambling in
the NFL and more ways to figure out how some
of these guys who aren't starters you know all the time,
and to find some way to make more money, because.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
The guys that get busted for this are typically not
the guys that are the starters, you know what I'm saying,
they're the guys, know, the guys that get busted are
the guys that are making decent money and they get
caught up and then like that's how you get done in.
Michael Jordan never had a problem because he had he
had so it's money.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
He wasn't.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
He never got into it with He never owed a
marker to somebody because he had enough money to be
playing this. Barkley didn't have son.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Killed though, whose son was Michael Jordan's son wasn't then
like his dad.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That dad is dad.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, that's a that's just ah, thats never been proven
as just a gross Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's what fans did to explain it. I know.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I'm just saying like when you like, okay, so if
you had a bad call before, you can be like,
oh he's dumb refs. They just can't see nothing. Now
it's like a dumb bounce. It's a bad call. I go, well,
I mean, who's making money off of this? Like, why
would why would you mention that call? I'm the the
uh implication of impropriety is now there, and I think
that's a bad thing when you have that much money.
I mean the thirty billion dollars bet for twenty twenty five,
(31:45):
it's supposed to be thirty billion dollars just in bets
on the NFL. That is so much money that, like
a regular person, even if he would never do anything
like you, you'd never think it would be involved in
gambling crime. You'd be like, well, I do know that
this guy's an injury. He hasn't told anybody.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
But when they got in bed with the game and
the gambling companies, they had to know this was going this.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, I can't, honestly, I can't believe it exists, Like
I really, I do it all the time, and I
always like I can't. I just can't believe this is
the thing that I just in my whole life with
a couple of clicks to this party.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Though that in Europe you could bet on Premier Premier League,
which is again the biggest sport in the entire world,
and you could bet you've been able to bet on
that for decades. And yes, they had their same issues.
A couple of players here, a couple of players there,
a coach here, and all those guys got booted out
of the league and they haven't had a major quote
unquote gambling scandal in decades.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, but they're more polite. Okay, I don't know about
I don't know. It does seem though, like we are
there's it feels like this season specifically, I'm like something's
going on something in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So the frustration rush that you hear in my voice
is that when someone says something like that right here,
read his fuel for saying that is that he's taken bad.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Beat, he's lost. Yeah, and so, but you have to
know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
So when you've decided to get in bed with all
the gaming companies, there are gonna be people they're gonna lose,
and they're gonna they're going to accuse you of cheating
that they should have known that.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
So I'm gonna argue with a person like Ryan all
day long because he's gonna say, all this shouldn't happen.
But then he can't tell me a bad call in
the two games that he got.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Shann't to understand. Angels entrenched in the sports world. Okay,
he's been paying for by Big Game a long time ago,
So we're not going to convince him. He's just a
shill for the machine.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
We would try to hit hard Ropia and I we
try to hit hard rock apps forever.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
They don't want to return our calls. All right, more
big when we come back, don't go anywhere. You're listening
to the Manster of the Morning. Welcome back to the
Monsters of the Morning. I'm already a one oh four
point one broadcasting live on iHeartRadio. Man. I was just
checking the news a little bit and uh that Hurricane
Melissa is now a category five hurricane over two hundred
miles per hour, and uh expect expecting to hit Jamaica
(34:05):
Tuesday morning hard, like hard. Savannah was planning on going there.
I don't believe that's going to happen. Uh yeah, like
a direct hit to the south coast of Jamaica. You know,
they're still they're still recovering from the last hurricane two
years ago. Uh that hit them, so uh that's uh,
(34:26):
that's bad. So when you know some I guess they
can't just get out of there, can they? You know,
like where to go?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Island island?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, you can't just go anywhere, damn. And then I'm
looking at a picture of it. It is a big ass,
I mean massive hurricane Hurricane Melissa over two miles per hour.
Pressure is down to nine thirteen uh me midl of bars. Yeah,
so wow. So uh, Jamaica is going to be hitting
(34:56):
getting hit hard.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I have no idea what the mill of bars are,
but that sounds bad.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, that's the pressure right the way they say it,
it sounds like it's a bad thing. Uh are you
guys doing Ah? No, you don't have kids, like your
kids are now older now angel, so you're not probably
doing a lot of kids stuff anymore. Do you guys
just for fun? Do you guys do a pumpkin? Because
I do have a public.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Service sounds like where are we going?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Is like do you send them to Jamaica for the hurricane?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
No? No, we're off that.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I have a public service announcement about pumpkins. I've known
this for a long time.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Warm them up before you.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, no, no, no, no no, do not cut. Listen
if you're good at Because I have some friends that
we're gonna be doing their pumpkins today with their kids,
and I gave them this this heads up and it
and it came out in my in my prep this morning,
and it's like, stop cutting the stems off your pumpkins
because that killed that makes the pumpkin rot faster. You're
(35:49):
supposed to what they're they're saying is you cut around
the bottom and then clean it all out and leave
the stem on because the stem, that makes sense. Yeah,
the stem provides whatever, water, whatever, you know, whatever the
dude you or whatever. So when you cut that, it
makes it makes it rotten. Like if you if you
cut it just from the bottom this week, it'll last
until Friday without you know.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Have you heard this other trick on top of that,
because I've seen that this weekend and then dipping it
in vinegar to still vinegar and vinegar.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
You do your pumpkin. Yeah, you don't do your pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I do not to douce pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
You got to douse the pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
It makes you last line, Yeah, I hate when the
pumpkin starts rotting and it's stinky, and then you get yeah, yeah,
so if you don't want it to be stinky, you
don't want to rot by Friday. If you're doing it
today with the kids or whatever, just you know, public
service announcement. Don't cut the stem off, just cut from
the bottom and that's you can put your little candle
down there and the whole thing. Do you have you done?
(36:45):
I'm thinking since you don't have kids, have never had kids.
You've probably have not cut many a pumpkin, have you?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Since you were I have, especially like when me and
Christina first got together the first couple of years, we
would do the pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Like a little marriage pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah, a little marriage pump a little couple of pumpkins,
a little date night with the pumpkins. But like, my
thing is like I just do the standard, you know
what I mean, triangle eye, triangle nose. Why they turned
the trump.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
But in like the mountain all weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, it killed my voice. That's why I sound like
I've got party girl voice. But I just do that face.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Did you cut? Did you cut around the top or
around the stammard? Did you cut the bottom?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I always cut the stem, I didn't. This is the
first I'm hearing about the stem thing.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah. I found that out a couple of years ago,
and it does make a big difference. It won't rot.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
But my wife is an artist, man like, she can
make a pumpkins beautiful. So next to my standard pumpkin,
it looks like I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I guess a lot of people were carving their pumpkins yesterday,
like Russ. What was this information? Yesterday? I carved my
pumpkin last night. I guess a lot of people did
it last night. Well, if you're doing it today, don't
cut around the top. Just cut, you know, just cut
the bottom out.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Also, I didn't realize I've been scammed by pumpkins my
entire life.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
What do you mean scammed by pumpkins.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I've always gone to like pumpkin in patches, you know,
like Lake Branley when it leaves to be down the street,
a couple of churches, and I always assumed the price
of a pumpkin was above twenty dollars. And then I
think last year or the year before, I went to
it just a wind Dixie and got a pumpkin for
two dollars. And I'm like, well, down.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Well you did you do it to donate to help
them out? What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I know?
Speaker 2 (38:20):
But like at one point, like and if you're and
I mean if you're, if you're waiting till the day
of Halloween, you're probably gonna get a deal on a
pump dude.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Sometimes I went the Lake Branley one, Like the last
pumpkin I got there, they wanted sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
People are saying you if you if you dip it
in bleach water that works as well.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Never heard that.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
That's not healthy. And there's vinegar like a normal person
the pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Here's some of that just paints their pumpkin. They don't
cut it because they don't want it to do. I've
seen that.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I've seen that crazy why Biden loss.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I've seen that trend more than I've ever seen before.
People painting their pumpkins. There's a there's a there's a
really det house where like all their Halloween decorations are
they painted them white. Oh so it's like a white
pumpkin white, you know, go to go with.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
A long white stem. Hmm, clutch pumpkin.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I'm not doing a white pumpkin. That's weird. Like that's odd.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Like if I get painting the pumpkin, okay, like it
lasts longer. It's a fun little project too. But if
you're just painting it white.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
When you cut your stuff out on the inside, do
you put gloves on or do you.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Don't touch that grossness?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Put gloves on?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
It's nasty, It is nasty. I don't there's people that
like doing that, you.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Say, do you say the pumpkin seeds though, and put
the salt on them and put them in the oven.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
No, I'm not an homish person.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Kids always liked it, like, yeah, we're eating pumpkin seeds.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I don't know. I don't like I'm I know I'm
an outlier here, Okay, I know people go crazy for
it all the time.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
I'm not a pumpkin guy across the board.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I don't like the smell of actual pumpkins. Hell no,
gets pumpkin spice out of my face. Every year, I
have one Shipyard Pumpkin Beer and then I'm good for
Gord Beer. This one was actually pretty good too.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yeah, I actually drink both those. Yeah, those were good.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
How do people lose their mind for this one flavor?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
That, by the way, you can get it all year long.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
It makes it special if you wait around this time
of year.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I don't know, because maybe it's just because I live
in Florida. It's always hot. It's always the same kind
of weather. Like the pumpkin doesn't hit me the same way.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
You gotta wait for a cold day, So you got
to set rules, right. I'm afforded my I've afforded myself
and this has been for my year, like years and
years and years tradition. Right, I afford myself one pumpkin
spice latte once a year, Right, but it has to
be on the day that I think is the coldest day.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I don't think I've ever stop stop buying like a
Starbucks and get it.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I'll get one, but it's got to be like one
of the days where we're actually wearing coats.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Coming in and I haven't actually went into a Starbucks
in probably seven years.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Yeah, I've never had a pumpkin I know that, but
I agree with you. Like there's drinks that there's certain
kind of drinks that I only drink during certain times,
like pina coladas. Only have those on vacation. I will
never You'll never for seeing me just out and about
having a panink a lot. But like, uh so, Germany
they have this thing like I forget what's actually called.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
It's like mole wine. It's like hot wine.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
And then like I was, I was up in the
in the damn Alps drinking this like hot wine.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
I'm like, now this is nice hot wine.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Like want to make sense that you're not gonna drink
hot wine in Florida.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
No, but if it was a cold day, like Angels
saying they sit there with my wife drinks some just
some hot wine, some mule wine or eggnog, Like could
you imagine have an eggnog?
Speaker 4 (41:29):
And like, April ridiculous, I do.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Like that New Aubrey Plaza commercial though. Have you seen
that where she's doing a tequila commercial and she's like,
she's like, here's how I make my eggnog. I make
it with Quantro tequila and a little bit of lime.
And for those people that say that's eggnog, those people
can drink eggs and they're like, that's a good commercial.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Because eggnog is also the same thing.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I'll have you attractive, oh, very attractive about her, but
when you look at her like, well not really, it's
not classically attractive. I don't know's it's her eyes.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Look. I love a resting bitch face.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
That's what she got. All Right, we gotta take a break.

is gonna bring you monster sports. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Rosca puts action going on in the sports world. Let's
start here close to home because there's a lot of
dedicated fan base. It's a little frustrated just with a
few days into the season, and I'm looking at you
at Orlando Magic fans, and I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I understand h Orlando Magic.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
RUSS won their opening game against the Heat on fire,
well for they were in Fuego for a day and
then subsequently they've lost to the Atlanta Hawks won eleven
to one oh seven, and then they lost to the
Bulls one ten to ninety eight, and uh, Orlando Magic
(01:33):
fans already expressing frustration. I get it sometimes, you know,
your team stumbles out the gate. It's okay, it's only
you know, three games in and we have a chance
today to rectify it. They're going up against the Philadelphia
seventy six ers RUSS. It's the seven o'clock game, and
it's gonna they're on the road. They're gonna be up
(01:53):
up in Philly, and if you want to your streaming
options are again it's gonna be NBA League Pass or
if you have Fubo or if you have the fan
Dual app, you can catch the NBA game today.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So college football, of the Florida teams played this week
in RUSS, Miami number ten. Miami Florida were the only
team to play all the other colleges. They'll get back
onto it on November. The first they do did Miami wade.
They beat Stanford. They jumped all over them, beat Stanford
forty two to seven. So can congratulations to them? Are
good on them for you know, getting back on the
winning side of things.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
World Series. This is gonna be h.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I'm excited about this because it just seems like it's
just going to be willy neely because Game one the
Blue Jays jumped all over the Dodgers and beat them
eleven to four, and then Game two the Dodgers came
back and held serve and basically beat the Toronto Blue
Jays five to one.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now, did you see what they're giving credit to to?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, Joshi, just so you go, you have a Motos
the pitcher for the Dodgers. He pitched a complete game,
which is unheard of nowadays. Yeah, so he said, he
basically said or tied a record that hasn't been done
since Oral Heirscheizer for the Dodgers pitched a complete game.
It was probably one of the more epic displays of
pitching that we've seen in quite some time. And it's
(03:15):
uncommon nowadays to see a pitcher get the pitch all
nine innings. So there was there was a lot of
that going on. But what was the reason. I know
they're saying they look for that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, actually they won, so I guess this doesn't I
guess there's the curse of the.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Colonel have you seen this. I learned about it yesterday.
So there's a man, there is a Tigers, there's a
I can't I can't remember the name of the city,
but there's the Tigers in Japan. And so one of
the things they do in Japan Ryan is, as a tradition,
if you win the World Series, they get the people
of that town who look most like the baseball players
(03:49):
will jump into the lake. So thirty eight years ago,
forty years ago, something something Tigers. There was an American
baseball player on that team, but obviously none of the
people of that of that city looked like this American
baseball player. So there was a KFC right around the corner,
right and they grabbed Colonel Sanders statue and they threw
(04:11):
it into the lake. It's led to which led to
a curse the Colonel. The curse of the Colonel they
believed it was, and they believe like it took thirty
eight thirty nine years for them to finally win.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
They found it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
They started dredging the lake and looking for it, and
it took forever to find it. They found the statue,
they put it back up, but that still didn't fix
the curse for them.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So there's a guy. So they're dressing up like the colonel.
They going to the games and they believe the curse
of the Colonel is why they lost the first game. Wow,
why the Dodgers lost the first game? Well, because the
Dodgers have too.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
They got three of the best Japanese players of all time,
so they're trying.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
To bring the curse to them.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That's a They really japaneseed up the colonel again they did. Yeah,
I mean, like, that's the colonel and that's Japanese colonel
right there is different.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But he'd been he'd been underwater for thirty eight years
at that point. He lost his hand and lost the glasses.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So you know, all right, I like this tradition. That's fun.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So let's see at the curse of the Colonel. And
then so how does the colonel get like he was
right behind the pitcher's plate.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Whoever, Yeah, whoever, whoever that dude, Yeah, whoever that dude
is he got pockets.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
There's the colonel. Yeah, the curse of the Colonel. So
he's supposed to bring luck to Toronto. Okay, got it? Yeah, Yeah,
he's d luck to Toronto because he believes the curse
of the Colonel Will from the Japanese baseball players.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, all right, today we got Game three is today.
It's going to be at eight o'clock and I think
this is the first game at Dodger Stadium in the series.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So again, just keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Uh again, this is they did what they needed to do.
They needed to win one on the road, and so
this is where it gets a super interesting right off rip,
crazy NFL action yesterday, some really key injuries that kind
of bum you out, but the curse is done. Congratulations
a Russ. He did kind of did with what we
(06:13):
asked him do, and the Dolphins go in and beat
the Falcons thirty four to ten.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Nobody expected that. I got all my I said, okay,
I'll do it. I'll do exactly what Angel and Ryan said.
I got, I know what you do. But I had
my I had my Dolphin's ring on, I had the watch,
I had the hat, I had everything. I'm like, all right,
we'll give it a shot. And I'm like, and I'll
be damn if they didn't play amazing. And I would
like to think that's that's his bad.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I think that's to his best game in almost a season,
another like two seasons, a season and a half.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, he wakes up and he's got his eye is
all swollen up and they have to put a advisor
over his his helmet. He's playing basically with one eye.
He doesn't throw one interception. Last couple of weeks it's
been at three interceptions a game, and so who knows,
willy nilly, who knows what happens. But I would like
to point out that this week I wore a Patriots hat,
they won. I wore my Dolphins stuff they won. I
(07:05):
did not put on the Steelers hat and they lost.
I'm just saying I think the curses.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Dame would like to point out that, in my opinion,
the refs for the NFL are bought and sold.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Like I mean, at this point, it's you.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You can't convince me that gambling is not a major
factor in this season, the way these calls are being blown,
and it's either like two things. One, there's too many
rules right now and every game you have to have
a somebody with a PhD explain the rules of the NFL.
And two, these rep the are so weird and so
all over the place that what got you burned?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What what what you're talking about. What's example?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, first of all, Dolphins game, took it in the
shorts on that one, the Jets and Bengals game.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I do.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You can't like that. I can't prove it. This is
just allegedly from me. The vibe is though, and a
lot of people feel this way. People people are saying that,
like you feel that it feels like things are being
messed up on purpose in such a way that like
it has to be the game.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
The Falcons played terribly. Yeah, right, if you're taking bad beats,
that's on you. Yeah, if you.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You've seen it happen though, Like if the the FBI
is a resting players and coaching happening in the NFL,
You're you are you are Pollyanna.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're feeding into the hysteria. You're being hysterical because you're
taking bad beats because like again, and you're not you're
being swayed by your passion and you're not looking at
the numbers. There's no way that the Lands and Falcons
are better than the Miami.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But you've seen you've seen them, You've seen the actual math.
And people hate when you point this out that, like
the kansasity Chiefs. Right, we're shown to be getting favorable
calls more than anybody else.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Okay, so what but you be like, there's too many
moving parts, there's too many people able to gamble right now,
come on, man, I feel this way.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Man, I feel this way because you're getting your ass
handed to you because you bet You're you're.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Not beat smart, You're betting off of passion.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I'm betting in a way that would make sense.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And then these teams get these.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Calls that are essentially ridiculous, absolutely missed calls.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Nobody thought the Dolphins were gonna beat the Falcons. Nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There's plenty of I made a ton of money off
that you bet on the Dolphs. I'm telling you, I'm
a better fan about your stupid team.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Than you are telling you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
A scandal is gonna come out about this league.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's easy.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That's saying like water is wet, There's gonna be a
scandal in baseball too.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
There's gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
That will be the thing in control. And I think
you're seeing the tip of the iceberg with what's happening
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You're saying that because it seems.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Flagrant to me.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I'm sorry, when it makes me not want to watch
it because I'm give me an example, flagrant. Sometimes you're
saying this.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Man, because the Dolphins won, it's all fake. How many
football games did you watch on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I watched three football games?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did you which games?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I watched?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
The Jets in the Bay, the ones I had money
on it?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
What was the only one that wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Rigged was when I won money on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah, the games are, in my opinion, they're not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You obviously bet against the Jets, right, but I mean
did the Jets win?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Of course was insane?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
There was what questionable calls were the Jets game?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
They were just letting him be there, really letting did
you think they.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Did you think there were bad calls in the Miami
Dolphin game? Because I didn't see any bad calls. That
leads the Falcons how horrible they were? Terrible. Kirk Cousins
was again terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's it's it's it's subtle enough. Guys stopping telling you
it's subtle enough. I can't. I can't give you any
bad calls.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Other than like.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You like, look at everybody agrees with the.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
As a mild Vikings guy.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know, like when they when they hit the field goal,
hits the camera.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Wire, they're getting rekicks.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
That seems chilly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But there's a couple like, Okay, let's be fair here, right.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I can't tell there's one guy that the freezer right,
and I'm sure too took a bad beat as well.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
You can't tell me though.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Honestly, Angel, there is a bit of a vibe these
last couple of years since gambling's.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
All in right, No, you don't feel that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Look, here's the here's the and the reason I say
this is this Ryan gambling. Before it be quote unquote
became legal, gambling was still happening. The gambling has always
happened with professional sports. The only difference now is because
of the companies are agreeing to work together and form
the leagues. They're letting them know, Hey, there are these irregularities.
(11:34):
Do you think that just because gambling became legal in
the United States and certain states?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I think they all of a sudden there's there's a
bad action.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, they have it.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
They have a duty to kind of hide this stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
No, they do not, of course they The last thing
they want to get out is a betting.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Scarin asked questions listeners, saying to ask Ryan this, if
you're convinced it's rigged, why do you still gamble on
the outcome?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Because I'm a degenerate.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, you have answers.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I also know the stock markets rigged? Did I do
that too?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
All right, real quick, we'll wrap up some of these games.
We had.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Jets beat the Bengals thirty nine thirty eight, Bills beat
the Panthers. That was a fixed game. Forty nine fixed
game with the Texans the forty nine ers. Texas beat
the forty nine Ers twenty six to fifteen. Had nothing
to do with all the injuries that the forty nine
ers have. Patriots, oh that was rush. That was the
most fixed game that was there yesterday. Patriots beat the
Browns thirty two to thirteen. Eagles beat the Giants thirty
eight twenty. Buccaneers beat the Saints twenty three to three.
(12:27):
Titans and Colts of the thirty eight fourteen to the Colts.
The Colts end up being right now are the best
team in the league right now. Cowboys got just smoked
by the Broncos. Packers beat the Steelers thirty five to
twenty five of the Steelers uniforms.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, what is up with those?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The worst?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I know you guys are new to this. Steelers do
this once a year. They all pick out one of
the just bizarre throwback uniforms. Ryan in nineteen twenty two,
nineteen thirty, nineteen thirty four, I think it was thirty
four to thirty six.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And poral old Rodgers had to go back to his
old team where that uniform and they got stalmped by Love.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, so the Packers lose the Steelers thirty five, twenty five.
Then Tonight's Monday night football game. It's going to be
the Commodoores against the Kansas City Chiefs, who the NFL
wants to win according to Ryan, and that's Monster Sports.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You have the problem with the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It wouldn't be that bad if those black lines just
went all the way to the bottom of the shirt.
They look like fat bumblebet.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
There's a version that was the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
There's a version of uniform that they do that they
do every season. They do that, and they're retro. There's
a there's a couple of retro uniforms are theirs that
look good, but by and large, most of their retro
unis are kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I saw this yesterday. There's only one team in all
the years that Aaron Rodgers has been playing, those are
only one team that he's never beat, and that would
be the green Bay Packers. He's never never beat them.
That was a pretty big deal last night that he
went back and he looked pretty good at first, right
like they they were they they were in the lead
at first.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Uh well, I mean are we got we were? We
were in the league because we have an incredible field
goal kicker. But again, if you're a Steeler fans, we're
used to this. The play calling is frustrating. There was
no confidence in the defense and we were in the
lead momentarily, but green Bay was moving the ball up
and down the field with ease and it was just
(14:16):
a matter of time for them to able to put
a couple of plays together.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Okay, well yeah, just we've got one win and now
I'm back in for the Dolphins. They're not the worst
team anymore. They played well. To have played well, they
look at they had some passion. They you know, they
were playing with some gusto. That's what you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You had a definition of fair weather.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, I am. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the
monks in the morning. Tomorrow, Body, We'll start with the
Monster Guests Hall of Fame. The nominees are Don l Rawlings.
It was hilarious, Billy Gardell who was in twice last
(15:00):
year and was very well loved. What a nice guy.
Nick Swartzen was in. He was hilarious. He was in
on the day that we did Pizza bazasz TJ. Miller
was in. He was in for I think five segments.
He gave us a bunch of Theman butter and stuff,
and then he went out to Gator Land with Savannah
and did the He was awesome guy. Guy Tory always
(15:23):
a killer here. TEITL Piper, you know, had a great
appearance here and Christy Martin. All of those are your
nominees for the twenty twenty five Monster Guest Hall of Fame.
Voting starts tomorrow at Real Radio dot FM, and you,
the listeners will decide who is going to be in next.
Still a little more monster sports stuff. I wanted to
cover a little bit that. Did you see the story
(15:45):
about that former and you mentioned this last week Angel
where that former Jets player went online and asked to listen.
I don't have any family members that can help me
with this. I've got a kidney disease. I need a
kidney to save my life. And you know, when you
said it, I thought, okay, well there'll be somebody that
will step up, you know and do that. And uh,
(16:06):
and he passed away. He did not make it. He's
a former Jets player, Nick Man gold is his name,
forty one years old. This was making all the national
news this morning. And did you see Rex Ryan who
they interviewed him, you know, but I guess he played
for Rex Ryan. And man, he started bawling on you
know when he did the interview because he really really
(16:28):
loved this guy. Really, you know, he was a you know,
a big time you know, he played for them, and
he really really like seeing the headlines. I didn't I
didn't see the footage. I didn't watch that much. Yeah.
And one of the sad parts about that, he seemed
like a good dude. Uh, he's got I think it
was five kids, four kids. And he said he's always
known that he had this rare kidney disease and he
(16:49):
knew this day would come at some point. But he
thought it would be when he was in his sixties.
I had no idea it would come in his forties.
And he had no family members that could help him
with a with a kidney. So he went online kind
of last you know, sort of wait a little too late,
and that they're saying, went on, went online. Okay, if
anyone's got a kidney, I really could use it now.
(17:10):
And uh and he passed away over the over the weekend.
And and you know we kind of I remember, you know,
with a s b K. Now he wasn't looking for
a kidney sober that Kevin was looking for a kidney. Well,
it was a kidney, okay. So I remember when Kevin
came in, he was telling us how many people are
in line to get a kidney. Uh. And it's got
(17:30):
to match up with your blood type, right, like there's
I know blood type is one of them.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know what the other parameters are that what
other things have to be agreeable with And obviously you
also need someone that will donate to donate it to you.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yea. What ended up happening was that there was a
fan out in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That uh, you know, did the test to see if
he was compatible, and then that was how Kevin was
able to get his.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
So Kevin got his. Yeah, and this former just playing.
I mean you talked about this last week right when
he when he put it out there that he needed
a kidney, and and it you know, it was a
little too late that he asked for it. But yeah,
I was watching the inter with Rex Ryan, I'm like,
oh man, that's that's that's heartbreaking. Uh. And I'm wondering
(18:18):
how many people are in line for a kidney. I mean,
you gotta in order to donate normally probably have to
be someone in your family, someone you really know, I mean, because.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I know blood type is definitely one of them. And
then and again I don't know, so I don't know
how the kidney donation process works. I don't know if like,
let's say, if you're a you've got two healthy kidneys
and you just want to sign up and be like, hey,
you know, here's my run a screen on me, this
is my blood tests, or you know whatever, and if
(18:51):
through the national database, like if someone needs one, I'm
willing to volunteer or donate it, just let you know,
let me know, or that if it goes you know,
like person by person.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
From this article from USA Today. It said he had
a genetic condition that impacted his kidneys. Yeah, that may
have complicated the matching process a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That's why it was more complicated. He said he always
knew this day was gonna come. He thought he'd be
in his sixties, is what he had said. Now. And
if they would have ran, I mean the little piece
they ran on him, and they showed when he was
inducted into the Ring of Honor for the Jets. You know,
he did this whole thing where he walked out, he
cracked open a beer and everybody went crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, he was a love player.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He was a well loved player. He's got these like
his family meant everything to him. They showed him playing
with his kids, and like, if they would have ran
that little spot three weeks ago, maybe someone might have,
you know, stepped up and gave him the kidney he needed.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, he's one of those guys that, like, you don't
really see a lot of people rocking like a Ligneman jersey. Yeah,
but people would wear his for sure. Yeah that's so
sad and they're so so young. But yeah, I guess
he knows. He knows it's coming. That's that's the thing.
That's why it's important to be an organ donor. I
don't know if you need a kidney from an alive person,
because it always seems like people are that way, but.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Not necessarily because uh again, depending on if they're time
of death, like if you were over donor on your
driver license and you've selected that, you know, if they're
able to get to that, that's one of the things
that they will try to get.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, and match up or.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
We're not you're yours. Uh, we're not you You'll be fine. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,
it's it's it's just it's sad, and it seems like
it should be so much easier, right, Like people are
dying left and right all the time. Yeah, how does
this happen? That makes me worried for when something like
that's gonna happen to me. Because this guy was a
rich guy, you know what I mean, you're able to
(20:47):
move the needle a little bit more so if he.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Was rich and well loved and couldn't get it, couldn't
get a kidney, he had no family that could give
it to him.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So that's what I'm saying, there's there's got to be
more parameters on on the watching. I don't think it's
just blood. And like Ryan is saying, because of his
genetic condition or what was going on with his kidney,
that's probably made the matching process even.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Needs to be an app that's kind of like tender forth,
like getting other people's organs, Like like you have a
backup guy, right, You're like, Okay, you know, I found
this guy. I'm getting his liver soundly over there. I'm
getting one of her kidneys. I'm getting Jeff's gallbladder if
things go on, and then if things go wrong with them,
I'm like, okay, I'm giving my kidney to this person.
And you kind of do it that way. Why do
(21:30):
we not have that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Person in the world that you could set that up?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh yeah, and then I guess people would kill you though. Yeah,
I see the immediate downside.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And going back to the you know what Ryan have
brought up about, he feels like the NFL is, you know,
the gambling has made the NFL where you can't trust
the the play calls and all, not the play calls,
but you know, the everything really Yeah, but again it's
a lot of people commented on that.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, it's it's one of these weird arguments, like everyone
that's in agreement. It's like, wait a minute, gambling didn't
just start now. Gambling has been happening since the yeah
sponsor the NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Now they talk about it openly like FanDuel did this.
It is part of the game now, which is odd.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Okay, And there's people that have inside information they just
passed at.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You concede that, and you're and Ryan, you're right. And
almost in every circumstance since they've legalized gambling, those people
John tay Porter has already been kicked out of the league.
There's another couple of guys that are about to be
kicked out of the league. So they're catching it as
as fast as they're.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
They can be as subtle as like, okay, So so
you work for ESPN, right, your reporter, you don't have
the gambling account, but you're like, oh, I know this
player is out and I just found out that information.
I'm just gonna text my friend Brad, who's far away.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
But hey, you know this guy's out.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
What if someone would have woken up you know what
I just saw to it to his eye is all
swollen to day. Let me tell everybody that his eyes
all swollen to day, and they did, and he's he
played better and he's ever played Like you never really know.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But I'm just saying, if you if if it's people
like me and a lot of people in our TEXTI
Sirta's people in our chat that perceived there's a problem
that's bad for the NFL already perception.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
What would you think about this? What if now if
we didn't rely on refs as much, but everywhere they
can they rely on, like I say, robot refs. But
like that's rush, that's.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's getting ready to happen because it was because people
having these issues with perception and not wanting to base
their facts in reality. It perceives that they're cheating going on.
So that's why they're doing it in baseball. And we
already have the robots that are calling balls and strikes, right,
they're already doing in tennis.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Uh, they're first stuff, first down. But you're.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
So they're testing that out as we speak in the NFL.
So yeah, they are going to take because again what
Ryan's saying, because you know people are susceptible to their perceptions,
then they're going to eliminate that human component altogether. Now,
would you rather have a human or would you rather
have a computer telling you that this is a first
time computer?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, they doesn't matter to me if it's of human
Like I think.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do you want to do you want to a robot
tell it calling balls and strikes?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah I do?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I think it's like because because the gambler and you're
feeling this way, so it's weird, but you take it
this position is really bizarre. What is the truth? You
want the truth? Right, so, but there's whether this was
a strike or not.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You want it to be accurate, you know, to make
it fair for the athlete, you know, like whether you
got the first down or not.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Like that is frustrated, especially especially if you do have
money on it and the bad call and and you
just sit there and go like and we're not going
to do anything about this.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Because of the money, and because of the influx of
all this money. Everyone that feels like Ryan, you're going
to get what you want. You're going to there are
going to remove remove the human element for calling balls
and strikes. So the the the nice kind of uh
organic kind of feel to that is going to be
gone and it's going to be complete black and white.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
There's not going to be any money exactly.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Like I want black and white in my sports though,
Like that's that's the thing. And I know Baseball is
the worst about it because tradition and whatever. But like
with football, but the NFL is is one of the
bet for their bet for their credit better or worse.
They're willing to change their game, and they've done it
so many times. They add in a lot of rules,
they take out a lot of rules, they'll change how
how kickoffs are done. So I would say adding in
(25:26):
the Robots to the NFL is probably the easiest league.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I will say this for for uh, for the type
of fan that I am, I enjoy all of it.
I enjoy in the sense of this because because I
don't have not don't have money riding on every single bet,
so I'm not gonna be right out of a pocket.
Just assume that because I got beat on this bet,
then the fix is in.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I'll take the worst, the worst to gamble on. I
wish they would have placed in with robots Little League
World Series.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Those parents get in there.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Sometimes and then they start affecting the game, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Like that angel. For years and years, the reason that
gambling wasn't you know, involved with sports is because they
were afraid that the people would would cheat and affect
the outcome of you know, I'm sure. And then somehow
magically we've all forgotten about that and now like gambling,
it's okay for gambling to be not just talked about,
but they sponsor the shows. You know, Fan Duel sponsors
(26:19):
the show. So gambling has let.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The betting lines into the progress.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, it is of it, Okay. So I don't understand
what your the argument is here because the way that
you two are talking right now, you make it sound
like gambling just started a few years ago. There's been
gambling on sports forever. The nineteen nineteen twenty six series
World on second nineteen twenty six World Series, the Black
White Sox scandal, Black Socks scandal where they fixed the
(26:45):
the World Series.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
But it wasn't it wasn't legal then they were, they were,
it's now now it's legal. Accept a difference because now
it's it's it's bigger, it's there's more, Yes, it means
more money. And when you're gonna have more and more about.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It, you guys are saying this because you think that
you know all all about the gambling that was happening
before it was made public. Gambling may like it's one
of the things that made the mafia gamblings has happened
in Europe. Gambling has been going on forever.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, it's bigger and more they were based off of
what There's more money involved now than there ever has been,
which means there's.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
More money that they've taken from the mafia. Sure, okay,
but like, I don't understand this idea that because it's
up front now there's it's more corrupt now.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
More chances of corruption because there's more money, and when
you have more money, there's more reasons for people to
want to cheat. That's just what I believe.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like you not the guy, random
guy sitting in his suburban home in Ohio wasn't going
to a mafia bookie and dealing with like the dark.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Side of of the sports.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Based off of how are you saying that based off
of what that's how it gambling.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
With Mamma wasn't pulling in tens of billions of dollars,
you know, they were not not like this, Yes, they
were right, there's this is this is a such an
insane amount of money compared to like before it was legal.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Everyone that once the gamble can do it right on
their phone anytime they want. It's it's it's much bigger
and a lot more money involved.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So that you're but you guys are talking to me
as if like the all these companies aren't working together
to catch these guys. They are, that's how That's why
it's it's more upfront. Now they've already kicked out a
handful of players in the NBA. They've already kicked out there,
like they're the guys that the players, coaches, people associated
with this, even the mob who was running a rigged
(28:35):
poker game. It's more to the forefront. So as much
as you're saying that it's out there upfront, they are
also catching and suspending and kicking out players.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Well, those are the ones we know about. You're right, Wait,
hold on, but.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Just five ten years ago, before it was legal, you
didn't know about any of them.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But but now you know that it's out there.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
But it was always out there, Okay, it used.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
To be not allowed. They used to be not and
they still did and they did. You're right, but not
as much as now. And now there's that's a lot
based off of what basic look at the look at
everybody's app The apps are out there, angel, I mean
you you got to know that there are a lot
more people are gambling than they ever were.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Okay, yeah, okay, and what I'm saying, so but what
you're saying, what you guys are trying to tell me,
and this is why I'm trying to I'm having a
hard time with it. So you're saying, because it's out there,
more people are player Because this is what we're talking about,
players and coaches and people in the league are going
to cheat more.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
No, I think there when when the money gets bigger,
the the incentive to one to cheat probably is going
to increase when when there's a lot more millions.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
What I just said, so, the people that the people
that can affect the games are going to be the players,
the coaches.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
While I think there was proof of that in the
NBA there there there was great and every single time
that they've been caught, they've been kicked out. Well when
they've been caught exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And all the apps are working together with the FBI.
So when I when I bet, uh, when I'm under
on some guys rebounds, spikes, They're like, this is irregular,
this shouldn't be happening.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
To what you're saying is you don't think there's going
to be a gambling issue with the NFL. Oh absolutely, okay.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Thing there's guys that are there. There are guys that
are dumb, like Chauncey Billups, like John tay Porter like this, uh,
the other guy that got arrested, right, They're not they're
not getting it and they don't think that these apps
are are are taking it. But it's like, but that
was happening even before the apps, like Jordan's has great
stories of him gambling, Barkley gambling, There's there's stories of
(30:31):
all these guys gambling.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah. I just think you're gonna see more gambling in
the NFL and more ways to figure out how some
of these guys who aren't starters you know all the time,
and to find some way to make more money, because.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
The guys that get busted for this are typically not
the guys that are the starters, you know what I'm saying,
they're the guys, know, the guys that get busted are
the guys that are making decent money and they get
caught up and then like that's how you get done in.
Michael Jordan never had a problem because he had he
had so it's money.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
He wasn't.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
He never got into it with He never owed a
marker to somebody because he had enough money to be
playing this. Barkley didn't have son.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Killed though, whose son was Michael Jordan's son wasn't then
like his dad.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That dad is dad.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, that's a that's just ah, thats never been proven
as just a gross Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's what fans did to explain it. I know.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I'm just saying like when you like, okay, so if
you had a bad call before, you can be like,
oh he's dumb refs. They just can't see nothing. Now
it's like a dumb bounce. It's a bad call. I go, well,
I mean, who's making money off of this? Like, why
would why would you mention that call? I'm the the
uh implication of impropriety is now there, and I think
that's a bad thing when you have that much money.
I mean the thirty billion dollars bet for twenty twenty five,
(31:45):
it's supposed to be thirty billion dollars just in bets
on the NFL. That is so much money that, like
a regular person, even if he would never do anything
like you, you'd never think it would be involved in
gambling crime. You'd be like, well, I do know that
this guy's an injury. He hasn't told anybody.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
But when they got in bed with the game and
the gambling companies, they had to know this was going this.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, I can't, honestly, I can't believe it exists, Like
I really, I do it all the time, and I
always like I can't. I just can't believe this is
the thing that I just in my whole life with
a couple of clicks to this party.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Though that in Europe you could bet on Premier Premier League,
which is again the biggest sport in the entire world,
and you could bet you've been able to bet on
that for decades. And yes, they had their same issues.
A couple of players here, a couple of players there,
a coach here, and all those guys got booted out
of the league and they haven't had a major quote
unquote gambling scandal in decades.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, but they're more polite. Okay, I don't know about
I don't know. It does seem though, like we are
there's it feels like this season specifically, I'm like something's
going on something in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So the frustration rush that you hear in my voice
is that when someone says something like that right here,
read his fuel for saying that is that he's taken bad.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Beat, he's lost. Yeah, and so, but you have to
know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
So when you've decided to get in bed with all
the gaming companies, there are gonna be people they're gonna lose,
and they're gonna they're going to accuse you of cheating
that they should have known that.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
So I'm gonna argue with a person like Ryan all
day long because he's gonna say, all this shouldn't happen.
But then he can't tell me a bad call in
the two games that he got.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Shann't to understand. Angels entrenched in the sports world. Okay,
he's been paying for by Big Game a long time ago,
So we're not going to convince him. He's just a
shill for the machine.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
We would try to hit hard Ropia and I we
try to hit hard rock apps forever.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
They don't want to return our calls. All right, more
big when we come back, don't go anywhere. You're listening
to the Manster of the Morning. Welcome back to the
Monsters of the Morning. I'm already a one oh four
point one broadcasting live on iHeartRadio. Man. I was just
checking the news a little bit and uh that Hurricane
Melissa is now a category five hurricane over two hundred
miles per hour, and uh expect expecting to hit Jamaica
(34:05):
Tuesday morning hard, like hard. Savannah was planning on going there.
I don't believe that's going to happen. Uh yeah, like
a direct hit to the south coast of Jamaica. You know,
they're still they're still recovering from the last hurricane two
years ago. Uh that hit them, so uh that's uh,
(34:26):
that's bad. So when you know some I guess they
can't just get out of there, can they? You know,
like where to go?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Island island?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, you can't just go anywhere, damn. And then I'm
looking at a picture of it. It is a big ass,
I mean massive hurricane Hurricane Melissa over two miles per hour.
Pressure is down to nine thirteen uh me midl of bars. Yeah,
so wow. So uh, Jamaica is going to be hitting
(34:56):
getting hit hard.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I have no idea what the mill of bars are,
but that sounds bad.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, that's the pressure right the way they say it,
it sounds like it's a bad thing. Uh are you
guys doing Ah? No, you don't have kids, like your
kids are now older now angel, so you're not probably
doing a lot of kids stuff anymore. Do you guys
just for fun? Do you guys do a pumpkin? Because
I do have a public.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Service sounds like where are we going?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Is like do you send them to Jamaica for the hurricane?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
No? No, we're off that.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I have a public service announcement about pumpkins. I've known
this for a long time.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Warm them up before you.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, no, no, no, no no, do not cut. Listen
if you're good at Because I have some friends that
we're gonna be doing their pumpkins today with their kids,
and I gave them this this heads up and it
and it came out in my in my prep this morning,
and it's like, stop cutting the stems off your pumpkins
because that killed that makes the pumpkin rot faster. You're
(35:49):
supposed to what they're they're saying is you cut around
the bottom and then clean it all out and leave
the stem on because the stem, that makes sense. Yeah,
the stem provides whatever, water, whatever, you know, whatever the
dude you or whatever. So when you cut that, it
makes it makes it rotten. Like if you if you
cut it just from the bottom this week, it'll last
until Friday without you know.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Have you heard this other trick on top of that,
because I've seen that this weekend and then dipping it
in vinegar to still vinegar and vinegar.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
You do your pumpkin. Yeah, you don't do your pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I do not to douce pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
You got to douse the pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
It makes you last line, Yeah, I hate when the
pumpkin starts rotting and it's stinky, and then you get yeah, yeah,
so if you don't want it to be stinky, you
don't want to rot by Friday. If you're doing it
today with the kids or whatever, just you know, public
service announcement. Don't cut the stem off, just cut from
the bottom and that's you can put your little candle
down there and the whole thing. Do you have you done?
(36:45):
I'm thinking since you don't have kids, have never had kids.
You've probably have not cut many a pumpkin, have you?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Since you were I have, especially like when me and
Christina first got together the first couple of years, we
would do the pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Like a little marriage pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah, a little marriage pump a little couple of pumpkins,
a little date night with the pumpkins. But like, my
thing is like I just do the standard, you know
what I mean, triangle eye, triangle nose. Why they turned
the trump.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
But in like the mountain all weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, it killed my voice. That's why I sound like
I've got party girl voice. But I just do that face.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Did you cut? Did you cut around the top or
around the stammard? Did you cut the bottom?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I always cut the stem, I didn't. This is the
first I'm hearing about the stem thing.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah. I found that out a couple of years ago,
and it does make a big difference. It won't rot.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
But my wife is an artist, man like, she can
make a pumpkins beautiful. So next to my standard pumpkin,
it looks like I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I guess a lot of people were carving their pumpkins yesterday,
like Russ. What was this information? Yesterday? I carved my
pumpkin last night. I guess a lot of people did
it last night. Well, if you're doing it today, don't
cut around the top. Just cut, you know, just cut
the bottom out.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Also, I didn't realize I've been scammed by pumpkins my
entire life.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
What do you mean scammed by pumpkins.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I've always gone to like pumpkin in patches, you know,
like Lake Branley when it leaves to be down the street,
a couple of churches, and I always assumed the price
of a pumpkin was above twenty dollars. And then I
think last year or the year before, I went to
it just a wind Dixie and got a pumpkin for
two dollars. And I'm like, well, down.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Well you did you do it to donate to help
them out? What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I know?
Speaker 2 (38:20):
But like at one point, like and if you're and
I mean if you're, if you're waiting till the day
of Halloween, you're probably gonna get a deal on a
pump dude.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Sometimes I went the Lake Branley one, Like the last
pumpkin I got there, they wanted sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
People are saying you if you if you dip it
in bleach water that works as well.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Never heard that.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
That's not healthy. And there's vinegar like a normal person
the pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Here's some of that just paints their pumpkin. They don't
cut it because they don't want it to do. I've
seen that.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I've seen that crazy why Biden loss.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I've seen that trend more than I've ever seen before.
People painting their pumpkins. There's a there's a there's a
really det house where like all their Halloween decorations are
they painted them white. Oh so it's like a white
pumpkin white, you know, go to go with.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
A long white stem. Hmm, clutch pumpkin.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I'm not doing a white pumpkin. That's weird. Like that's odd.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Like if I get painting the pumpkin, okay, like it
lasts longer. It's a fun little project too. But if
you're just painting it white.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
When you cut your stuff out on the inside, do
you put gloves on or do you.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Don't touch that grossness?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Put gloves on?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
It's nasty, It is nasty. I don't there's people that
like doing that, you.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Say, do you say the pumpkin seeds though, and put
the salt on them and put them in the oven.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
No, I'm not an homish person.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Kids always liked it, like, yeah, we're eating pumpkin seeds.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I don't know. I don't like I'm I know I'm
an outlier here, Okay, I know people go crazy for
it all the time.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
I'm not a pumpkin guy across the board.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I don't like the smell of actual pumpkins. Hell no,
gets pumpkin spice out of my face. Every year, I
have one Shipyard Pumpkin Beer and then I'm good for
Gord Beer. This one was actually pretty good too.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yeah, I actually drink both those. Yeah, those were good.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
How do people lose their mind for this one flavor?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
That, by the way, you can get it all year long.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
It makes it special if you wait around this time
of year.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I don't know, because maybe it's just because I live
in Florida. It's always hot. It's always the same kind
of weather. Like the pumpkin doesn't hit me the same way.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
You gotta wait for a cold day, So you got
to set rules, right. I'm afforded my I've afforded myself
and this has been for my year, like years and
years and years tradition. Right, I afford myself one pumpkin
spice latte once a year, Right, but it has to
be on the day that I think is the coldest day.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I don't think I've ever stop stop buying like a
Starbucks and get it.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I'll get one, but it's got to be like one
of the days where we're actually wearing coats.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Coming in and I haven't actually went into a Starbucks
in probably seven years.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Yeah, I've never had a pumpkin I know that, but
I agree with you. Like there's drinks that there's certain
kind of drinks that I only drink during certain times,
like pina coladas. Only have those on vacation. I will
never You'll never for seeing me just out and about
having a panink a lot. But like, uh so, Germany
they have this thing like I forget what's actually called.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
It's like mole wine. It's like hot wine.
Speaker 3 (41:11):

in the damn Alps drinking this like hot wine.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
I'm like, now this is nice hot wine.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Like want to make sense that you're not gonna drink
hot wine in Florida.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
No, but if it was a cold day, like Angels
saying they sit there with my wife drinks some just
some hot wine, some mule wine or eggnog, Like could
you imagine have an eggnog?
Speaker 4 (41:29):
And like, April ridiculous, I do.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Like that New Aubrey Plaza commercial though. Have you seen
that where she's doing a tequila commercial and she's like,
she's like, here's how I make my eggnog. I make
it with Quantro tequila and a little bit of lime.
And for those people that say that's eggnog, those people
can drink eggs and they're like, that's a good commercial.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Because eggnog is also the same thing.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I'll have you attractive, oh, very attractive about her, but
when you look at her like, well not really, it's
not classically attractive. I don't know's it's her eyes.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Look. I love a resting bitch face.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
