I can't wait to get that.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
It looks great. I'm actually wearing mine as well too.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Right now. Yeah, I wanted to go with.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
The yellow, but I wanted the blue, and my wife
was like, she got a blue one too. She I
was like, all right, I'll get a blue one, so
I match you.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, yeah, well I almost got the which one did
I get? I got that kind of like that poly
poly material stuff, right oh.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I mean yeah, this,
this feels good. This is that this is the relaxed fit,
because yeah, you gotta do you almost gotta go with that.
Sometimes it's not it's like I like the T shirt feel,
but the problem for me is like, because you know,
like the karate sometimes they don't fit so like they

(01:38):
don't fit right or something, so I have to practically
go with something like this.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah. No, it's good. I'm looking forward to getting it.
I'll be sporting it a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, thank you for that, man, And I'm just happy that.
You know, it was really cool.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
It was unique how we we just ended up saying
we were going to go with eight and that in
the Chop first the Chop League, so.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
We get two divisions, so you had a chance to
actually win almost two shirts, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well if it hadn't been for the uh,
I just couldn't pay attention to the fab and I
thought we had a thousand bucks and it was actually
what was about three hundred or two hundred or something
like that. So I spent mine in like the first
two weeks. So yeah, I was like, couldn't do much
after that.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, And then what was funny is when I duplicated
the league.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It didn't dupe anything. So we went into it was
a thousand in the second round. I was like, what
we made everybody by hand? It was wild.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's all hereos man. It was a blast, had fun.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
So is there is there kind of like a background
to the name Ninja Posse?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
There is, actually there is. It goes back to my
college days. So I went to UH I played actually
played basketball at Heidelberg University in Tiffan, Ohio. But we
had a group of buddies, you know, that we hung out.
We always had a good time, got a little wild
and crazy on the weekend. So one time we for
some reason, I can't remember why, but we all dressed
in black and it was Halloween and we went to

(03:02):
this local town where they're having a big Halloween downtown
parade or something like that. And so we're on the
way down there and we're like, you know, drinking, We're
having a good time. So we're like, well, what are
we going to go? We're like a group of like
eight guys who were like, well, what are we going
to call ourselves? Or when we get down there, I mean,
so we're all looking around, Well, we got black on
we're like, let's let's wear a posse, so why not

(03:23):
be the Ninja posse? And that thing is that things
stuck since about nineteen ninety and we still call ourselves
that to this day. So I use it a lot,
as you can see on my team names, my and
my and my screen names and all that kind of stuff.
So it's a yeah, it's been. It's been a long
running thing for about what thirty thirty two thirty three

(03:44):
years now.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's amazing.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
And by any chance, do you have a fantasy football
league with these same gentlemen?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I do, Yeah, I do, so I run one through
CBS Sports and most of them do play. Some of
some of the guys don't like playing fantasy about which
is fine, but yeah, so I got the good amount
of guys that that are on that, so yeah, yeah,
we we collaborate a lot every year.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
I bet you do trades right now.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, that's what I wish. Yeah, in my league, we
don't trade enough, so I wish we did more of that.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, it's it's it's it is like a taboo.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
A lot of fantasy leagues think it's taboo or don't
allow it.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I think it's kind of fun.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
But then there was a couple of years ago where
I was able to when Jonathan Taylor was out for
the first five games and I had drafted DeAndre Swift.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I like to draft running backs, as you know, and
then I sometimes will trade them.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Well, so I traded DeAndre Swift for Jonathan Taylor, and
the dude's like, look, guys, I'm one and two.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't know if.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
He's coming back in two weeks. I have no running backs.
My other running back just got injured. DeAndre Swift is
doing good work.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
So then he.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Got him and then he did work, he worked out,
but then eventually Taylor came back and helped me win.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Somebody that so.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Get perfect perfect? Yeah, yeah, no, we we There's there's
I do allow trades in the league, and there's trades
that are offered. Sometimes there there's somewhat ridiculous, which I
think is why a lot of people don't accept the
trades anymore. But uh, I don't know. I'll probably have
to think of something next year to incentivize, you know,

(05:21):
trades a little bit more, just just to kind of
keep it fresh and everybody having a good time. So
because I try to change up the rules every year
just a little bit, like you know, this year I
put in a little extra for tight ends, you know,
for like a point and a half per reception up
up to like I think it was up to like

(05:42):
I think it was after three receptions or I can't remember,
something like that. But anyway, there was a point and
a half per reception for the tight ends. Added a
little bit more in there for like we do the
kickers in the defense begause, I love it, so we
do the kickers in the defense. So I add a
little bit more for for the kickers. You know, if
they kick a fifty sixty yard field goal, then they're

(06:02):
going to get you know, bonus points for that. So
it keeps a little bit exciting too as well.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
So yeah, it's it's always great.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
So have you read the book by Kevin Murray, The
Commissioner's Sport Playbook.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's where he will. So it's a whole book.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Dedicated to everything fantasy football, different setups, different rules, different hazings, wins, all.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
This really stuff. It's uh, it was really good.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Read.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Kevin's the guy from Trophy Smack.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Okay, yeah, so I met him at the Fantasy Football Expo,
which By the way, do you go to the expo?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't, man, I don't. That's that's Vegas, right every year.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, No, it's it's in Cande, Ohio. It's the week
after the Fantasy Football X was the week after the
Hall of Fame game.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, oh, okay, okay, I didn't know that. I did. Well,
I knew they do something up in Vegas every year,
and I think it's just a big draft that they do.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah that's.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Or something like that. But yeah, yeah, exactly. So no,
but no, I've never ever been to that. I mean,
we've moved I lived in Ohio for a while, but
before I really got into fantasy we have moved here
to Phoenix. So I've been in Phoenix for twenty four years,
so we haven't. We don't go back to Ohio as
much as we used to.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Know.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
So you you're you're currently state you're in you live
in Phoenix right now?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah? I live in Phoenix. Yeah, we've been out here
for a while.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
So all right, Well then yeah that's not gonna work
to me.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well for you, yeah, no not at all.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
If I still live there and if I was into it,
well yeah, i'd be there every day. Every week.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, dude, you would had such a
great time because that's where you meet everybody like you that.
I mean, Doc hasn't been able to come up there yet,
but like Nick o'conno from Serious X Time, everybody, Bob Harris,
Bob's an amazing dude.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
You would love Bob Harris. Dude. Yeah, I can't speak
enough for him.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
The one year I missed jeff Man's was there. He
hasn't been back since. Maybe he comes back. I actually
gotten to a point where my co host for the
Fight Club of Paint, Dan comes with me now because
I was just going alone.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
And now it's like it's like it's like a controlled chaos.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
But it's but but we've driven home both nights and
both times. One time he went home and a semi
was derailed off the highway. The next time I went
home and I was going through a construction zone and
there were signs and I this sign was in the
way and I hit the curb and.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
It just doesn't happened.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
We were both so it's yeah, but you know, it's
just fun stuff. But it's a hell of a time.
It's it's it is good, but I do see your
Bengals fan. Have you been a Bengals fan all your life?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, I'll be honest with you this this is we do.
We do follow the Bengals, but I'm more of a
Dallas Cowboy fan. When I was real young, back in
you know, preteen days, we lived in Irving, Texas and
played soccer her in the old Dallas Cowboys Stadium. So
I've been a Dallas Cowboy fan all my life. You know,

(09:05):
if I were to call a secondary team, that would
be the Bengals. Yeah, so we follow them a lot.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's awesome. I mean people always have kind of secondary teams.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
So my wife, Chrissy Ray, she is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan,
but her dad grew up always favoring the Redskins slash
Commanders now and my dad was the same thing too,
So I kind of always thought it was fun. My
dad said, back in the day, when they did a
trade or something like that, the one coach from the
Rams went to go coach in Washington and he took

(09:35):
players with him.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Or something like that. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I never did the research in it, but I did
research the reason why he ended up switching from the
Packers to being a Rams fan, and that actually is true,
so maybe there's some truth to it. But he said
he liked watching those players, so he went over there
and he would watch those players and they were Skins.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
So that's how I kind of do it. So it
was kind of a cool thing.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
So I think that everybody kind of always has like
a definity to a second team, right.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. I mean, you you almost,
I mean to me, you almost have to have at
least some sort of backup team, not a backup team,
but just another team to root for it because Cowboys
on it aren't on every week and obviously they don't
wink the playoffs hardly anymore either, so it's, uh, you know,
I got to find somebody else to to kind of
root for. But but yeah, I mean we have a
we have a family of of you know, football fans.

(10:22):
My wife is actually she grew up at Barnathough She's
a big Pittsburgh Steeler fan. So it's, uh, yeah, we
have a good time during the year going back and
forth with some of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
It is it is, you know, on top of wrestling,
and then of course we do I talk about maybe
not so much you guys, notice that I actually know
DJ Magic Mike and he throws a lot of Twitch parties.
So one of my oldest friends is mods for him
and he comes up and we meet my friends go
down there. It's just like a really cool thing to
know somebody like that. But like she does that. So

(10:52):
it's like music, football and WWE wrestling.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, my wife is great deep.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
In wrestling, and I was like, it made it so
much easier, just like, you know, being married to her,
because we don't have differences. We love football me so
much more, but wrestling is like that common core that
we have.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Does everybody watch wrestling in your family?

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah? Pretty yeah, I mean everybody does. It's my wife's
a big fan of the Samoan guys, so the bloodline,
you know, Roman Reigns and and uh and Jay Russo
and those guys. He's just she loves watching those guys.
He's a big Cody Roads fan too as well. So
so yeah, it was a good time. Like we for
the for the Royal Rumble, we we picked names out

(11:36):
of hats, you know, so you see who would who
would win, and then whoever won obviously got got got
a prize. Like I don't know. You pick a dessert,
you know, you pick a drink or whatever, and you
know people have to make it for him.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
So no, it's it's like we would always do wrestling parties.
My dad started doing parties. We watched the first WrestleMania
together as a family. Then you know, Wresselminga. She was
so crazy, but we'll Mania three came out. My dad
was like, hey, I'm buying this. Your friends love wrestling.
Do you do you think your friends would let your
friends come over on a school night whatever or not?

(12:09):
And watched wrestle any of their parents and it did.
So he grabbed a bunch of wings, a bunch of pizza.
We're talking fifty wings for eight dollars man, and we
were like, I.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Know, two hundred reads.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
We was in. We was doing it. We was watching wrestling.
We were just having fun.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Then afterwards we'd go wrestle while everybody was getting kind
of walked home.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
And then it would always be like me and my
buddy Dave.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
And and and then because he lived on thirty first,
I lived on thirty second, so we would always get
about halfway and then he would walk home, and then
I would walk home up my block.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
So it was kind of like.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
One of those things we always did a round table,
took everybody home, and then me and him would split, and.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
It was just it was just the way that was.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
We weren't worried about being kidnapped or anything like that.
It was it's what wrestling did. It brought me and
my friends together. Video games as well too. I'm a
huge gamer. Do you play video games?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
You know, I'm not, I'll be honest with you. I
mean we did, we had, you know, we did the
Wei thing, and then my son is a he's a
PS player, so he likes playing that that kind of stuff.
But I never when I was real young, and you know,
video games started really getting getting the popular out there,
I would I would play a lot. And there are times,
quite honestly, when I would like skip work for a

(13:26):
day because I was I was playing. I was doing
either w W E or or I was doing Madden
or something like that. And then I was like, I can't.
I don't know if I can't sustain this, you know,
just just just starting to play it like eight in
the morning and then just going till eight pm at night,
and it went by so fast. I mean it would
you were just having you're having a great time and
before you know it, your your your your days done.

(13:48):
So not to say I swore off video games. I
kind of backed away from doing that because of that
for that reason.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
But uh yeah it was so I I you know, yeah,
I kind so I'm not really a game or no,
not at all, but but I do enjoy like when
my when my son gets his games out, well you know,
I'll play with them every once in a while.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's awesome. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
I mean there's still that that's kind of like my
wife's kind of that way. She loves the Warrior games
for the Wei. So and then since we have the Switch,
we bought the new Warrio because she loves smooth moves.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
It is a fun game, it's a fun name. And
so when you so you've played it, then.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeo. I'm not sure which one was that
was that the one with the swords that you could fight,
well there was.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
It was a bunch of mini games practically, Oh okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, yeah, no I never did play that one.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Then, yeah, it's pretty fun.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
But like for her, she likes games like that with
the motion sensors and then now that we have the switch,
so we have because we have the new Warrior for
that one now and she goes and she loves playing
that because you can just hold a little controller. She's
kind of is down of playing games like Warrior where
you have to hit buttons.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
It just doesn't work for her. But she hit for
a while, played Dablow two, and so we were yablow
to all day and night.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Like you would talk, well, time just flies when you're
when you play it, and it's just yeah, you don't
realize it.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
No, we would just we'd be sitting actually where I'm
sitting right now, and we before I put these bookcases
right here, this was a whole line of computer to
computer monitors just all and anybody could just come over
to my house, sit down, and we could just start
playing Diablo two. And it happened a lot. We'd be
drinking beers playing Diablow two.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's yeah. It was like I said
it was. I had a blast doing it, but I just, uh,
I started to shirk my responsibility. So I'm like, all right,
I'm going to back off a little bit here. Yea, yeah,
I just never really got back into it.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
So yeah. Mind. I was always a late night gamer,
so I've always have a second stift job. Of course,
come home on wine, put the game on.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'd eat, you know, probably games till three, four five
in the morning, and then go. When I was growing up,
my friends of course would be there for the wrestling
and when they would sleep over. We would just play
video games all day and night. Go play sports, go
back and play video games. It's all me and my friends,
honestly did We didn't have like a lot of friends
that did like early age drinking or drugs.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
We're all nerds.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
We were all sport nerds and video game nerds, so
it was just kind of strange.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Movie we love movies.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Man, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, movie movies are Yeah.
We're big in the movies. Obviously, the whole streaming thing
that's going on right now, you know, we the Netflix,
the HBO, Max, whatever it is. We're always finding a
show on there that we can binge watch and have
a good time with. But I've been I've been a
movie fend all my life.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Awesome.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I always loved it, you know, big action movie fan,
horror movie fans. So that's that's what that's what I
enjoy dude.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
So we had this place called real entertainment, pretty much
like your Hollywood videos and stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
But they finally invented this thing called they went to
their under their their old movies and they did five
movies five days is five bucks. So me and my
friends would scrounge five bucks together. We would go down
and we would pick five of the worst movies. This
is where I so I ended up buying a lot
of the Kung fu flicks that I that I read it.

(17:14):
The whole line I have it. It's the whole Wu
Tang line. So it has like the Wu Tang clan
wrapping it, taking it. So I get each of the
videos d a cool And then we watched a lot
of horror flicks. So like one that was memorable was
three on a meat Hook. That was a bad one.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Just I love the title.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
It's like it's like Psycho. It's like a very bad Psycho, and.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
It's it's one scene that's stuck out and of course
you're not gonna see it, but if you ever do,
go watch three on a meat Hook.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's a shower scene.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, and the one girl gets to go get killed
and it goes to a whole black screen, you know
how they would do the black screen and there's a
hand holding a nut and then and then it plays
an auto tune guitar goes.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
And then you see blooded.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah that's great if you're.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Like, oh god, you gotta love the low budget ones. Yeah, yeah,
we used to. We were big on the zombie movies,
so we were in it. We would rent. We would
find zombie movies that nobody even heard of before, like
you know, The Blind Dead or something like that, and
just watch it and just most of it was just

(18:31):
laughing about how bad the actual movie was. But but
we just we enjoyed doing that. That was like a
weekend thing for us. The town I grew up in
was Van Word, Ohio, which is right on the Indiana border.
If you ever heard of Fort Wayne, Indiana, it's like
right over the border in Ohio. But it's a town
of like ten thousand people fifteen thousand people, so not
a whole lot to do there unless you pick up

(18:53):
and you drive up to Toledo or something like that.
So so yeah, it was a lot of a movie
watching for us.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
That's amazing.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
So then you and your friends that you guys do
quotes I assume right, you'll look like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Like Frommelda we used to like, it's crazy is people
like us. I don't know if you've ever experienced this
in your entire life. I'll literally be places and I'll
say stuff and nobody knows what I'm talking about. Nobody.
I'm like, me and my friends the only people in

(19:31):
the world that not know about this or do this.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
But I know, So, I got a I got a guy,
a group of guys I play poker with every month,
and it's it's the whole night. There's a lot of
like just taking taking quotes from movies and you know, yeah,
just just whenever whatever the context is, just taking quotes
from movies, and it's just sometimes they're just so perfectly
laid out there that you just can't stop the laugh.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, you're sitting there playing cards and you get down
to it's you and the other guy.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You go on and one.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
All like your friendal play like why throw away your
life so recklessly?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yes, exactly, exactly. Well, the big one is the John
Malkovich in Rounders. You know, just quote him and some
of the things that he would say, like he beat
the meat, he beats me, you know, when we're playing poker,
so we do a lot of that. So it's it's fun.
We have a good time.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
So do you have a favorite movie? Could be a
different day.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
What movies always kind of found that complete is a
complete movie for you.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Uh you know, probably my favorite movie of all time
was die Hard. It's it was one of those movies
where you weren't where when I want to when I
want to see it, I was sure what to expect,
you know, as Bruce Willis is coming out of what
was he moonlighting on TV? He wasn't really known as
an action hero, and then just just getting you know,

(20:58):
you're not even what ten minutes into that movie and
it's got you just kind of like sucked in. And
that's that's one of those movies where you can no
matter what what what part it's on, you know, on
the TV, if you're flipping through and you find it,
you could sit down and just watch it and just
just enjoy it. So Diehards one of those movies for me.
The Karate Kid was a big one. That's that's kind
of like the nostalgic one. And when I was growing up,

(21:20):
because that's in the eighties, I was I was you know,
in high school and all that kind of stuff, and
it's the good, you know, the feel good story that
you know, kid just bullied the whole time and then
he finally gets his way in the end sort of thing.
So so yeah, there's there's that's probably Diehard is probably
my favorite action movie. But there's so many of them.
There's so many of them out there, it's just hard

(21:41):
to hard to pinpoint. Yeah, the one that always pops
up in my mind when people ask me, it's.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Die Hard, It's die Hard. I gotta I gotta give
it my one buddy Keith. He's a huge, huge movie
guy and is the president of my oldest friend of
all time Dave, who I was talking about that meme
mic and all that stuff. So those guys right there
kind of like my my affinities. I'm a I straight up,
no like straight When I love movies, it's of course,

(22:06):
I'm an eighties kid.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Of course, well seventy eighties I was born.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm a gladiator dude, So I'm gladad has always been
my affinity. But when you brought up diheard I Actually
there's a Jet Lee movie called Meltdown. It's done in
the same context, but a little change in the plot.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Mm hm. So you know that's a new one on me.
So it's that.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, so you already know what I'm talking You already know.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
I already know. Yeah, well you know Jet Lee at least,
yeah exactly, he's he's yeah, big action guy.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
So I love that's that's new.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
But like we we grew up, I really like they
tried to recreate that eighties magic, but it's.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Just never been recreated.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
The movies that we grew up, you could say, from
mid eighties to the early nineties, are some of the
most unforgettable movies of all time.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, all the time.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I mean it's Transformers, the movie. It's still the best
Transformer movie out there.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, the original right yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
And then and this was almost a rewrite, but it
made it made it made the whole G I.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Joe movie literally changed the whole outcome of G I.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Joe.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
And why Duke is supposedly killed is because what happened
with optimist pride.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
So it shows the influence.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
The influence that like Transformers or movies like that at
the time had other people just swaying because they're like
it's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, you're right. Well, and there's such a that's
such a build up back then to movies, I mean
commercials and or you go to the movie theater and
you'd see the previous of upcoming movies out there, so
people just get excited and could wait until it came out,
and then you got lines outside of movie theaters to
catch the premiere of whatever movie's coming at You don't
see that much anymore because everybody's used to streaming things

(23:59):
on their on their you know, their iPad or their
phone or whatever. So which isn't bad, I guess, I don't.
I don't mind that, but you just don't get the
same build up to movies like you used to.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
No, actually talking about a build up and being a
Cowboys fan, you might remember this. Do you remember when
the New York Giants in the Cowboys early nineties were
about to play for the division?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
But this was the Super Cowboys, So the Cowboystone was the.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Movie coming out that week. You remember the build that
they used with Tombstone.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
I don't, I don't, but I you know, I remember Tombstone.
Huge Cowboy fans, so I know all about the nineties
Cowboys and all that, but I don't think I remember
what they did on the build up with Tombstone.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah, So to promote that movie, you probably could go
maybe find those commercials or even the NFL.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
The NFL was promoting that Tombstone movie. And I want to.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Say that this was the first round of the playoffs
or this was the last game of the season where
determined the divisional winner. It was a big game for
the Giants and the Cowboys, and all I remember is
them just playing that Tombstone commercial left and right. We
got the Tombstone. They did their build up with the
Tombstone for the game, and I'm like, this is great,

(25:22):
and the Cowboys won that I.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Remember, Yeah, that's that. That that that part I do remember.
So another game, by the way, Tombstone, Man, that was
That's one that you could watch anytime, any any part
that you come to, you could watch it.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
So dude, to this day, you know, Wyatt earp was good.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, but I still love Tombstone more because it just
took that longer. Movie made it shorter, but just added
Val Kilmer's doc hality.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Him him and then oh gosh, what's his name? Who
played Ringo? Johnny Ringo on two Stone Michael Bean. I
mean yes, he played. I mean those two were those
two performances by by Kilmer and Michael Bain I thought
were so good. And you watch Why and it's like

(26:14):
Johnny Ringo is like that, he's not He's like he's
like a side dish in the whole movie. You know.
So they don't they don't have the build up with
the you know, the whole doc Holliday versus you know,
Johnny Ringo like they did with Tombstone. That was perfect.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah, that that right there, that right there, and it's
it's great because like a lot of people, I can't
say that and relate to you can.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
So you definitely do watch movies.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
And that's what I think a lot of people missing
lives like now is that sometimes I think we all
get caught up in life and that we forget to
go watch the movies like this, or maybe play video game,
or maybe join a Twitch stream, or maybe just go
to the subs only a discord at Doctor Roto and
see what he'd overrides crazy asses talking about.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
No doubt about it, man. I love watching your guys's
recorded videos, man, because I work, you know, being two
hours behind you all I'm working when you guys are
doing a lot of those, So afterwards, I'll tune in
and listen and see what you guys have to say.
Because I'm in Johnny Danger's pga uh thing that he's
got going on right now. I don't I'm not a

(27:21):
big golfer. I watch it here and there, but I
don't know, you know, any anything above like the top
twenty five golfers. I have no clue who they are
if they're good. So I just I listened to his
little podcast today just to just get an idea, like
who are the bargains out there? You know, when you're
starting to put your lineups together?

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Exactly For me, I just try to look at like
so like I do. I go to their little write.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Ups, I'll watch their podcast and I'll take it and
I'll just start like making lineups. And I played golf,
but the problem, like I've also played NASCAR. NASCAR just
kills me because one you think like all your racers
are two or three year racers out that's.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
True, it's done.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I hate it.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
That's one I've never done. I've never done NASCAR.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, I like to get my hands and everything because
we have we have the you know, those edges, some
of the tools to play with these other sports. So
you know it's like, well, let me go check, like
I got a hockey line up in right now, I
don't even know.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, yeah, that's another one I've never done before either
as hockey because I live in Arizona. I mean, hockey
is not real big sport here and we lost our
hockey team. They moved them up to Utah where they
made a little bit more sense. So so yeah, that's
that's a couple of sports where I just haven't really
dove in to try and play and see, you know,
it's as much fun as like football or basketball or

(28:40):
baseball or or you know, anything like that.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
So yeah, did you as you see me typing up
and talking about the UFC, The UFC has captivated me
in the last year. It can be it could be
a train wreck, like when they canceled the main event
and you're like, oh, well.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
That was money.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Now in money, so it's like it's crazy, But then
you get the betting side of it, is it just
been so thrilling because you know, we've been able to
figure out a lot of these finishes and get them
in the five pastic picks went five and oh this week,
and I'm like, this isn't like what I think we
might think is easy or we're taking a shot in

(29:24):
the dark. It's actually like it's like a perfect chaos
within a sport.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
And that's but what what gets me going is.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
The numbers some of these knockouts, like when the when
the sportsbooks don't know like they had they had Cortes
Acosta at a plus three twenty for a knockout in
that Derek Lewis fight, and everybody knew it was going under,
but they had missed that fact. They put the knockout
at like a negative two forty. But they missed on

(29:52):
a few things because I think.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
That sometimes we're so entralled looking at the money lines,
looking at significant strikes or trying to promote that they
don't see that they just let this plus rea twenty
knocked out go or that, or their expertise feels that
that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
And that's where eyes that I've been talking about, as
you've heard, is where the machines cannot duplicate a fight.
That that's why I've been going into it.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's I was. I've listened to
a couple of year podcasts on that, and actually what
I do typically do is I love doing price picks,
you know, and they'll have the whole m m A
you know side of it too as well. And every
once in a while they'll do that like free b
pick where it's like one significant strike by you know, somebody,
and you can pick that and then you can build
a line up people along with that. Knowing that I

(30:42):
got a free be here, so you know, take take
information that you're giving me or that I'm reading, and
you know, try to build a lineup that that that
could win some money. So I've been I've been fairly
successful with that.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah, it's it's it's funny kind of what gets what
really gives me.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
And now I've also figured out too that being a
Pennsylvania me being able to parlay the prop bets.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
A lot of people haven't been able.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
To do that, and a lot of sites don't have
like a first and second round.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
I see DKs pushing that a.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Lot more now and so that gives you a chance
at two rounds and people go, well, that's just saying
you're kind of like buying the pot well, if they
offer the pot, why wouldn't you buy the pot? And
somebody like me, as you know, is gonna dissect that
fight and say, no, this fight's gonna be over, or
if I feel that this fight's gonna go longer, I'm
gonna have my action on the second to third round

(31:31):
as opposed to first the second round.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, you know, and that's that's that's something I need
to now that now that football is over. Obviously I
was in like so many leagues and football I couldn't
even keep up with myself. Yeah. Yeah, So, and then
I kind of dove into basketball. I do enjoy doing
like the DFS on basketball and you know, like on
the Draft Kings and Underdog. You can draft, you know,

(31:56):
a team every day. So I'm a big basketball guy.
I grew up playing my whole life. So I've been
doing that. But but I have wanted to kind of
get a little bit more into that MMA because it
just seems like that's a little bit I don't I
don't want to say easier, but but it seems like
there's there's I don't know how to put it, but
it seems to me like in the few times that

(32:17):
I have done it and I've won. It seems like
there's a little bit a little bit higher chance of
winning there, maybe because it's it's such a small field,
you know when you're when you're betting on it, because
there's only certain amount of matches that are going on
a weekend. And uh, with information that you guys give us,
we can you know, make good decisions.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
You Yeah, So that's what that's what we do. We
focus on.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
We focus on usually like this week, it'll be three
to four fights, but for the main cards, we always
do the five.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
But we have the information for all the other fights.
So if someone goes in.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
There and asks me, I'll run my models or I'll
just go right to it. I really don't need to
run much off of it. I just need to go
look at the fighter. And once I look at the fighter,
it's like that. But most of the time, my she
it's done when my sheet is done, and it's practically
done now, so tomorrow night, if some of the bets
are out, I'll make it. But that makes it kind
of hard because they they wait on that sport a

(33:10):
long time sometime to get.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
The bets out. So that's why like the five pastic picks.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
By the time I'm running that article, I've absorbed the
whole week of what's going on, and sometimes those fights cancel.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's kind of crazy, but you brought up a big point.
It's not easier.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
It can be harder, and you can have a one
hit knockout kind of just like this. Last week, says
All was completely ahead on the cards. He was out
boxing Nakamura and it took one strike to knock him out.
Even the same thing with Ralphielfa z I had that
fight going under. A lot of people had that fight
going over. I had to respect that. So for me,

(33:48):
it was hitting the knockout in points line and I
was able to get Ziv at one oh five. I
was able to get Roofie at a negative one oh eight,
which is practically money on both sides played the knockout.
Knockout was positive money. When we were doing the show,
the knockout, submission and points were all positive. That's like

(34:08):
saying a touchdown of field goal are positive to happen
in the game. We'll give you a plus one twenty.
Who wouldn't take that. It's easy money. So that's why
I've been able to exploit it. If you looked at
some of the like I had this in that in
the BSD and Jan Hooker fight Ben La Saint Denis.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
That is, in that fight they had a hooker sub.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
It was a combination hooker sub or a hooker knockout
BSD sub. Hooker just lost by sub, Hooker just lost
by sub to BSD, and Hooker's only pathway to victory
was knockout. So it was for me to play that
bet at a plus two sixty, play the knockout at
plus five point fifty, and then play the sub which

(34:54):
was a plus three sixty, along with the sub first
and second round being a plus three three twenty.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I think it was for BSD.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
So, like I said, this was one of the fights
in the Physy fight was one of the fights where
statistically the site was completely wrong about the fight and
someone like me and Dan can completely exploit that.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Nice. Nice Yeah, yeah, I'll be I'll be with you.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
So yeah, because what do you want to do? Watch?

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Watch a ball go around? You want to be at
your phone like this at game? Wuk oh man, I hate.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Hockey is kind of like that.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I try not to do that, but I do. I
do find myself like looking.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Basketball, you literally they don't give out the lineups until
like two minutes prior to the game, So you just
got to.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Put your thing in and then you gotta run to it. Football,
do you guys do that? You gotta do that. In
the MMA, you don't got to do that. You're setting
pretty much go.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
So I can't take that. So we're gonna deal with this.
We got no baseball, so MMA right now is the
perfect time. That's why this is the time. I got
into it right after the super Bowl and it's just
opened up a whole world of people that have come
onto the podcast. Julius juice Box Walker who fights Saturday,
will be covering and he's got a hard fight. He's

(36:13):
gonna be fighting Justin Jacoby and Justin This is not
an easy fight for practically a rookie.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
So but juice Box beats him, he's gonna look really good.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
So that's the stuff that we're gonna hopefully be able
to get with Juice Box and just the type of
things that can happen.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
He's coming on your show.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
He already did he Yeah, came on my show about
a month ago, so I already had him.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yes, Yeah, cool, cool, yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yes, it's kind of that. I actually I don't know.
Do you watch you probably do you watch the Bare
Knuckle Fighting Championship or know about it? No?

Speaker 2 (36:50):
No, I don't know anything about that.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Okay, So I I I had talked Actually, my team
t K O Eery sponsors Justica Borga. I talked to her.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
She's willing to set aside thirty minutes to an hour.
She's currently the champion in bar knuckle Fighting Championship. She's
just recovering from a injury in her last practically, you know,
it was a bad injury and it wasn't really even
a knockout. She practically just had to sit down and
wave it off because it was that it was just
she practically cracked.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Her orbital bone right in there.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
So but outside of that, yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I've heard of it, but I don't know. Honestly, I
don't know when it's like on or televised or anything
like that. So to that'd be interesting to watch. Man.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, they got some big boys.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
They have a new event coming up in Philly, So
what's probably gonna happen if she goes to Philly. I
wouldn't be surprised if my sense was free, he would
go to Philly too. But yeah, she's she's got r
TKO eerie emblem right on the side. So it's just
really cool. And that's kind of like it was weird,
like all this fell into my lap, even though Jessica
came through a few years ago and did the thing

(38:00):
with her husband Steve Schlowski, who was an ex mm
A fighter as well too, And you know, that's how
I was able to I didn't meet them in person
because I didn't I missed that day, but I talked
to them throughout the years and that's where it all went.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
So it's kind of like it.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Was the perfect thing for the MMA to come aboard
and become a product at Doctor Roto and just to
be able to add something to do and it's year
round and it's it's just fun. I don't really do
anything on Saturday and I don't watch college football, so
for me, it's perfect.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
It is okay, interesting, cool, So people go on, No,
I was going to ask you. One of the things
I wanted to ask you today is you know, you're
you're obviously on Doctor Roto's team, You're doing podcasts, you're
always on you know, Discord and things like that, how
did you get to where you are today on Doctor

(38:53):
Roto's team?

Speaker 3 (38:55):
So it.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
It interests me. So how how I mean I kind
of I've listened. I've been listening to Doctor Roto for
fifteen years, probably him and like John Hanson. They were
the first ones I started listening to when I was
getting into fantasy football. So so it was like, how
did they get to this point where they're like every
day they're just talking fantasy football or fantasy sports, and
that's like got to be the greatest day in the world,

(39:17):
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
It is, So it was this is actually one of
those things I had actually had sustained an injury and
I was currently I was laid off for my job,
and then they told me they were coming back, but
they were going to.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Pay the unemployment.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Three weeks later, Doctor Roto called up and said, I'm
starting doctor Rodo dot com. I want to stop charging
people all this money for all this because you know,
there's it gets pricey at other sites and he goes
and I just want to take it back. I want
to be hands on. I don't want you know, a
lot of outside interferences being involved in the Doctor Roto chat.
So it's always you know, like music, wrestling and.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Stuff like that. We talk about. That's all we talk about.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
But no, if you've been listening to Doctor Roto when
him and tom We're on from midnight to two am,
were you listening.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Then I was listening then. Yeah, not not consistently like
every every week, but I do remember him and Tommy.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
G So my wife and I would call in constantly,
and at first Tommy didn't know what was going on,
and Doc Doc. It's a funny story because Kickman has
told me this because kick used to call in too,
and Willie would call in, and then they would sometimes
have to follow me. So what happened was is I

(40:34):
called in, Tommy's throwing off. Doc is like, dude, just
Tommy's like, no, we got to get this guy.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Cut. Doc goes, no, just let this guy go. This
is what he does. And I started talking.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
And I was like, this guy came out, he was
supposed to get this thing.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
He's sitting here dropping balls. I was like, what kind
of hook could you know? Serious? Sexim is letting all
this go through and I'm not or anything, and I'm
just going down and Tommy's like, holy so every time
I called, I would get sixty seconds to bring the pain.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Okay, I got So.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
That's that's kind of where it was kind of like
that because I would always come up and be like, Yo,
everybody's his heat over. What's up? Doc? Seat over on,
You're not ready to bring the pod? And I would
just flying into it and it became a thing.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
And then and then of course Tommy and Doc just
started loving the wife.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
The wife was doing. I remember one.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Time I came home from a fantasy football draft. It
was super late, and there was two eggs on the
fish tank, two eggs, uncooked eggs on the fish tank, and.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I'm like, what is this? Like, what what just happened?
And so they did stuff.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
I got kicked off for a week, but me and
Doc kind of like did stuff. So I started married
with TFS where me and Chessy Ready would talk fantasy
football for free and I would give out my my
picks practically like the cheap format that you would have.
And so Doc and me had talked for years and
Doc was always like and there was you know, so

(41:59):
when he was with Scout Fantasy, there was we were behind.
We had you know, Kapy was there Kickman was there, Slago,
Steve and we would all be in this chat room
talking and it was always be the craziest shit that
would happen.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
But Doc was kind of seeing what was going on.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Then I was making calls like Kyle Kendricks is about
to go seven innings with two strikeouts, and so he
took that and that's when he started respecting me.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
And then or you know, started understanding that there was
some kind.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Of some like in my chaotic crazy, that there was
some kind of genius there. And he called me up
and said, hey, give me your phone number.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
I want to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
And that's when he presented Doctor Rode the Doctor Roto
dot com I did to me and yeah, I was
totally dumbfounded by the whole thing, taking off guard and
I had done something I've wanted to do but would
only get four or five four or five views. And
and then for the podcast, I was practiced the top
list like top kiss Songs, Top rob Zombie Songs. Then

(43:05):
I was doing Conspiracies, and then me and Chrissy Ray
would practically just go live and drink beers and have
fun and Doc brought it all on. Doc said, just
don't do conspiracies during that much during the football season.
Don't go get crazy, don't get into politics, religion, stuff
like that.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Try to keep it kosher because.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
You know, once we announced the site, people will view
it that And that's what I was kind of stepping
away from, stepping away from the rest of the people
that he had worked with over the years.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
That he just wanted to talk and that's why we
kind of do that. You understand where.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
I'm going, where you're going.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Yeah, absolutely, So that's that was it. But it was
cool and you're right, like, I can't I can't believe.
And in all these years, docs only had to really
put me in check a couple of times, and it
wasn't over bad things. It was just like like his
last one was when he read he he first started
reading the Five Tastic Picks and he's like, I understand

(44:01):
what you're saying, but I don't know what you're saying
because you're a fighter talking fight.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I don't fight, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Like if I say, if I'm thinking, if I'm gonna
throw a one two three, what would you think? MH,
so A one two three?

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Is you know your job?

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Cross and then hook right me being you know, a
traditional stance, it's a left right left hook. So I started,
so I made it a little easier and that's what's
gotten to where the five taxes picked.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
That's I mean.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
But we've talked other times, but that's like one of
the last times that like we we do it.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
So Doc comes in, he teaches me, and I can.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
Tell you working with Lou and then working with Ted
Chimes and the other people over the years as editors
has given me what I feel some of the best
writing skills without having a college degree to go with it.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Nice, nice, good good man. Well congratulations, it's uh yeah,
you're man. That's the key that is, and you.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Know that's that's where it is. This isn't about money
for me.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
It's about just having fun and being able to podcast
with great people like yourself, being able to enter fantasy
football contests with you and people like you in the
subsolutely Discord and the rest of our rich friends in
the world. And it's for me, it's a challenge, but
it's just that community that really keeps it together. And
that's why I wanted to create this subscriber spotlight episodes

(45:33):
because for me. It was almost like a way to
get not only get to know you guys, but to
find out things like you're a great that you're a
huge wrestling fan.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
Right yeah, right, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Yeah, you don't know that on just you know, you know,
discord back and forth, so you did that kind of stuff. Yeah,
So who's.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Your favorite wrestler? Of like, I mean, it may have changed.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Who is the guy that growing up that you always
just you acted like that.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I acted like, oh my god, yeah you know what
I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Tell you it was it was Big John stud Man,
I was I think it was the name more than anything.
So you know, just I you know, you knew me well,
and we're good friends. I I'm I act pompous, but
I'm not so I just you know, I like to
act more confident than I actually am. And I'm just
I just like the Big John stud and you know,

(46:25):
the way he would carry himself and obviously how big
he was. I'm about six five, so you know, it
was like it was I just enjoyed watching him wrestle.
But then the other one was and it just you
could loved him and hate him at the same time.
But Rick fair Flair in his prime back when he
was with t was a TNT, when he was with

(46:46):
the Four Horsemen. You know, he was part of the
TN A thank you, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
He was.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
He was part of the Four Horsemen. And it's just
it's just a guy you just couldn't take your eyes
off of because you knew he was going to say
something funny. You know, he was going to do something funny.
And it was just just loved it. Loved watching him,
loved watching him wrestle. Man. Guy you love to see lose,
but you hated it. You hated it when he wasn't on, Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
He would he would just wain. Dude. We was just weak.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
So me and my friends, of course, as I talked about,
we were huge w W E guys.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
My dad was just huge w W. So we would go.
We would always do the macho man. We'd come out
with a yeah really, you know. And that's why I
put that Moniker in there. That's kind of like that.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
And for me it was like growing up man, I
was a huge Hogan fan. My one buddy fell in
love with the Warrior. I had the one guy that.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Was a an Undertaker fan.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
It was just things that we just we loved watching.
But like, man, I loved Coco b Ware.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
I used to that's right, that's right, yeah, Junkyard dog,
Junkyard dog walking around My dad would my dad would
just laugh just hilariously at him because walking around barking
like he did, and it was just hilarious.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Yeah, those things to And then dude, you brought up
big On. Dude, he had like he had like the
salt and pepper chest and it was like roll and
dark brown.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
He was just big, barrel chested, six eighth guy. It
was just you know, was great.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
But he was an Audrey back then, man, and like
people don't get battle.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. But my favorite wrestler of all time
stone call Steve Auston just no part. You know, there's
no second place in that one. So he was here
was the one I just loved to watch. That was
kind of my second second, I guess life of wrestling,
because I watched wrestling a lot, you know, through the
eighties when when you know, Hogan and those guys were

(48:39):
really big. And then when Hogan left and went to gosh, yeah,
thank you w c W. I kind of not that
I lost interest. I just I was doing other things
at that point, and you know, at college and stuff
like that. So I just kind of lost interest in it.
And then I got back into it in the early
nineties and that's when still Gold really started to get big,

(49:01):
and when he was in his prime in the what
it was the mid to late nineties or early two thousands,
there was no better entertainer.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Yeah, So for me, I kind of lost because it
was just because it was a build thing.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
We didn't have the technology we have now people, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
So for me, it was I would say it was
actually what I would say about two thousand to two
thousand and four, we didn't have the table.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
So I missed that brock Lester kind of coming in.
I missed Eddie Burero winning the championship. I did miss that.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
I missed a little bit of kurd Angle, but of
course I knew a lot about kurd Angle when he
came in, and then of course that I was there
through the Brett Hart era, and then of course we
were We ended up having to get two TVs to
watch WCW and then WWF a new different channels because
you know, the Monday Night Wars. We just went in
and so for me growing up, it was like that.

(50:00):
And then I kind of got out in the day
I actually came and hadn't missed.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
An event since.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Was when JBL fought John Cena and John won.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
His Yeah, because everybody hated jb L back then, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah, yeah, it was like everybody fell in love with
the A P A. But I'm like, y'all get how
much of an asshole he was back then? He would
always be booting someone out of nowhere at big a
big quad, Buddy has a big quad wha.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's that was. Yeah, that was I mean,
you just think about some of the talent back then,
you know when you had like The Rock and Stone
Cold and Triple H and you know, HBK and all
those guys were big and they were all wrestling about
the same time, and it's just like, it doesn't seem
like they can match that again. Just having all that,
I mean, they they they're they're legends right now. So yeah,

(51:04):
it's amazing, amazing.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Had had the ministry, you had the corporate, you had
d X, you had the Nation of Domination.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
You had the weirdos. When the weirdos got together, like
all the like Festus and all those guys whatever. They
had so many different groups, and that's that's been the
great thing.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
But the big thing is is fantasy football. Being part
of Doctor Rodo and doing.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Fantasy fantasy football with Doctor Roto in your corner. How's
it made you fall in love more with fantasy football?

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Or?

Speaker 1 (51:42):
I mean, of course it most likely has. Where is that?
Where is the combination of Doctor Roto in fantasy football
taking you so far?

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Well? I mean, just my my, the the intelligence or
just the wisdom behind you know, Doctor Roto and you
know the guys that he has on his pop on
his radio show and and the website and everything just
has given me. It gives you so much data that
you're you're obviously a lot more confident when you're going

(52:13):
into drafts or you're doing dfs and stuff like that. So,
you know, being on the West Coast, I can't catch
Doctor roto Saturday show when he's gone live. You know,
I catch it. I do. I do my yard work
on Saturdays. So I tee him up and I listened
to him for two hours and and just kind of
absorb everything that he tells me, because that's that's you know,

(52:34):
Saturday afternoon. So then that that gives me the what
I need to know to set lineups and and put
in you know, put in my dfs or or you know,
my promp bets and things like that that uh, you know,
with a lot more confidence because you know, there's you
guys do so much research, you know, behind the information

(52:55):
that you're giving us that you know that I just
don't have time to do no, no, to go into
that kind of stuff like you know, like understanding you know,
coverage shells and stuff like that. You know, so to
be able to read different articles like that understand you know,
who's who's got a tough matchup coming up or who
can overcome that, you know, things like that just helps
give me the edge, you know when it comes to

(53:16):
fantasy football. So so I would say that's that's the
biggest correlation there is, just you know, ever since I
started listening to him and and getting more, I mean
I'm probably in gosh a dozen fantasy leagues, yeah, you know,
just this last year. You know, so it was hard
to kind of keep up with it. But just listening

(53:36):
to him and reading his article and having that information
in front of me, I was able to set lineups,
you know, and and win most of those leagues, and
so it was it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
You know.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
And that's it's funny because before I was I was
completely with Doctor Roto. I had started this nine year
streak of not paying to be in this one league.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
So you could to probably say that that's probably the
biggest thing.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Plus with the IDP and I would talk IDEP talk
all the time, and you know, that's kind of why
I'm the IDP guy with Doc. So for me, it
was like kind of that. But it's almost like I'm untouchable.
Not this last draft, last year's draft, I I can't.
I practically just punted and he did the tight end premium.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
So I went.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
I picked Report in the first round, and I picked
I picked Evan Ingram in the third round, and I
still cash.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
It was like myself, I do.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
The content that we have and just the camaraderie and
being part of the community and seeing everybody's thoughts.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
It's like we're like we're like the Ninja Posse. We're
silent assassin that lead money bro.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Absolutely absolutely, man, No, it's it's uh yeah, it's it's
just I look forward to it, you know, during the
football season, you know, listening to his uh his radio show,
and then obviously I you guys, I have time. I'm
I'm on my phone or on my iPad, you know,
reading the articles throughout the week two as well to
get better at that. So one of the things I

(55:05):
think I'm going to try to dive into a little
bit more this year is is Major League Baseball, because
I know you guys do some coverage on that too
as well. Just kind of see what I can do there.
I've never I've played it in the past, but I'll
be honest, it's been like three leagues where it's just like, Okay,
I'll put a lineup in and whatever happens happens.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
So I want to get a little bit more into
that this year, just because you got that, you got
that space between basketball and the start of football where
it's just all baseball. And not that I'm just not
a I've never been a baseball guy, so I want
to I want to give it a shot this year
and just see how how it can help you through
that season and see how much fun it is.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
It's fun.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
Actually, I started a baseball league that's still going today,
and that's what brought me back into baseball as a person. So, well,
baseball is a hell of a ride. I do the
I do the betting articles on the weekends. So when
football started and I added the UFC, it was kind
of why wild But all that stuff playing and talking
about the site. What's something that we might not have

(56:07):
that you would like to see in the future.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Well, honestly, I would like to see more of basketball content,
just me being a basketball guy. Okay, it's more basketball content.
Like one of the things with toego Steve. I kind
of reached out to him at the beginning of the
year and I'm like, hey, man, do you have like
any because I was in a couple of basketball leagues
that I'm on, remember I signed up and he was like,
I was like, do you have like a a rankings list?

(56:30):
And he goes, no, not really, not not for you know,
not for a draft like that. He says, I'm more
of a you know, a DFS guy when it comes
to basketball. So that's one of the things I'd like
to see because I really enjoyed betting on basketball just
because I understand the game so much, but playing it,
you know, my whole life. So I love doing the
props the DFS. I love doing the drafts, you know,

(56:51):
the daily drafts that you get with that too as well.
So uh more basketball content would be great.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
That's awesome, you know, and that's stuff that's that you know,
we looked at.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
I was actually talking to Steve because now I'm gonna
have one less podcast. So I said, well, maybe on
Saturdays when I got a chance, maybe I was like, Steve,
maybe you come on, or if Willy, I'll reach out
to Willie and maybe Willy can come on if we
can set up a time. I don't know if this
is possible, but to have a basketball podcast to kind

(57:21):
of get out there to kind of you know, but
they are DFS guys, but that's something you're you bring
up and that sets I wish I could help with.
But with everything now and now with UFC, I.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Have no time to go watch.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Most of the time, I'm fighting, most of the time
I'm at karate, So that for me is is it's
hard for me to be there at game walk.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
So it just makes sense I just don't do yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah, because that's one thing you see, like Fantasy Fantasy
Sports Radio, there's there's a lot of content on baseball,
a lot of content on football. There's not much during
the basketball season, you know, where people are talking about
it on the daily basis, so there if it's if
it's the off season, they're talking off season football, or
they're talking about you know, preseason baseball. You know. So

(58:08):
I would love to I'd love to see more basketball content.
I know it's not as big of a fantasy draw
as the other two are, but I think that'd be
a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Yeah yeah, And that's something that could be like a
simple something and stuff. So maybe maybe we can get
something together with that. Our basketballs every day, you know,
that's part. So like maybe a Saturday kind of.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Thing, you know, for me once a week, yeah, because
because you could talk about the week that that, the
week coming. You know who plays who, you know what
the good matchups are, good defenses, bad defenses. Whatever. But yeah, yeah,
I mean you're right, probably just once a week. You
can't really do it every day. But if you do
it once a week, and I think it would be impactful.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't be pushing it aside.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
I wouldn't be pushing the fight club aside.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Yeah, I wouldn't expect that.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
No, no, no, no, we have we have some fun.
You have seas all year long. So believe me, you
are not going to be unentertained going forward because a
little bit of that UFC.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Maybe we get that Boston basketball show going, or maybe
I can figure something out myself where I can you'll
figure out with Steve and them where we could do
a weekly matchups and have that that article hit on Sunday,
or maybe a pod, maybe a fifteen minute podcast like
you were just talking about on Sunday after I do
my review show. That could be something that can definitely

(59:26):
be done. So I like that idea, and that's why
I have I wanted to do this this series with
the subscriber spotlights is to talk to you guys, see
what we're doing good and see what would make it better.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
And you first guy to bring.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
Up basketball, and you're completely right, And I remember that,
I remember you asking that question.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I think you even commented in
on it too as well. So yeah, it would be
it would be fun. I mean, that's that to me
is my that's my favorite sport. And I could watch basketball.
You ask ask my wife. She gets sick of it,
you know, because I got the h I get the
leak pass right now. So I'm watching every game that
it possibly can huge subjects man. So I love watching
the Celtics.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
So that's awesome. All right. Well, I know we're about
it about it that hour. I don't want to keep it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
That's what podcasting is all about. Man, you just whoop
right through it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
We talked about a lot. Even movies got in there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. I didn't expect that. So it
was fun, man, I enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Going forward, we will be doing a WrestleMania show. I
can't say it will be a Tuesday. Maybe I can
make that something for like a Sunday after, Like maybe
I pushed my review podcast to the Tuesday, I do
the wrestling show on a Sunday. That could be something
to do with that show I'm talking about that I'm creating.
I wanted to be a roundtable discussion because sometimes like

(01:00:49):
last year for Roal Rumble, they did it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
DK but they do a pool. It's a free pool.
You you pick.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Wrestlers or finishes or outcomes and you quit some money.
I mean the one year I won like thirty bucks
and I got one thing wrong I would have won
four hundred and fifty, so usually I went five, six, seven,
eight bucks. And then my wife plays and picks her fix.
So it's really fun and I like that that adds
a DFS kind of like aspect of the wrestling. We're
making picks, we're talking about the event. So yeah, you

(01:01:17):
will come on a podcast like that, because.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
