Historical Insights: Gambling & NFL
00:13:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
This week This week in history, 1931, the state of Nevada legalizes gambling.
00:13:47
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, I thought it was going to be probably. Is that next to Utah? I think so somewhere out there. They share an area code. uh apparently it was at the beginning of the great depression the uh production of gold and silver mines out in nevada was declining and people started moving out of state so the whole legislature got together it's like how the hell do we get these people back that's genius so uh state responded by legalizing gambling and later that same year also divorce prostitution ah
00:14:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Which probably led to – Divorce. It's a two-year window. There are a bunch of things legalized there. All somehow sort of connected. Wow, that's genius. Yeah. So there you go.
00:14:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And this week in history, 1946, Kenny Washington is signed by the L.A. Rams, becoming the first African-American to be signed to an NFL team.
00:14:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And then went on to playing Welcome Back Carter. Carter? Carter. Wasn't that Kenny Washington? That was something Boom Boom Washington. What was his name? Kenny Boom Boom Washington, I thought it was. I don't know if it was Kenny. Tom, Google it. He was a... yeah It was a start running back at UCLA. ah George Hallis from the Chicago Bears actually wanted to sign Washington, but the other team owners prevented him from doing so. Jesus. Racist. I know. It's so stupid. So after the Rams moved to L.A.
00:15:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
from St. Louis, ah they became interested because a stadium was funded by the taxpayers. Right. So then the taxpayers started pushing them to and integrate the team.
00:15:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
St. Louis has lost their football team twice. To Los Angeles. To Los Angeles. Yes. I did not know that. Maybe three times. Yeah, this was back in 40, 46. It was Freddie Percy Washington. Freddie. Freddie Boom Boom Washington. Freddie Kenny. Played by Lawrence Hilton Jacobs. i'm just a few vows off.
00:15:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. Jingle Herschmidt. Yeah, that too. His name is also my name. ah So there you go. ah This one is in 1952. Cleveland hosts what is now considered history's first major rock and roll concert.
00:16:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Is that why Hoff is there? I would assume. hu i Yeah, I put that together. It's called the Moondog Coronation Ball. Promoted by local radio DJ Alan Freed with WJW. You know Alan Freed, too. Who hosted the Moondog show.
00:16:18
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
a large amount of ticket counterfeiter. Counterfitting? yeah Yes. it back then Back then? Even back then. so Easier back then. people showed up for and arena held ten thousand wow cool my So the overflow who showed up actually ended up breaking through the gates. Police were called, and the concert was canceled shortly after it got started. Wow. So there you go. Who was performing?
00:16:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
ah So the headliners, ah Paul Williams and his Hucklebuckers. rock and roll baby tiny grimes you little huckle buckers tiny grimes and the rocking highlanders who actually wore kilts on stage there go so yeah those were the two two of the featured bands uh wanted to see those huh Yeah, they basically – they called it a dance.
00:17:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So the DJ the next morning, Freed, he apologized on air. It was like, would have told me before this thing happened that 25,000 people would show up for dance, he goes, have told you you're crazy.
00:17:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
But anyway, and apparently the first rock and roll concert. Yeah, he's credited with the birth, really, or popularization. Of rock and roll. Yeah. Yeah, so he played... ah He was one of the first rock and roll DJs. There was a local record store owner who said he saw the popularization of rock music with the records he was selling, and so that he suggested it. to Because i don't I don't think they played rock at the station at that time.
00:17:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um So anyway, there you go. but This week, industry 461. sixty one St. Pat, or as we know from Tom, Maywin Suckett.
St. Patrick's Day Myths
00:18:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Maywin Suckett.
00:18:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Passes away at the age of 76. He actually wasn't Irish. Have we ever mentioned that before? Yeah. Okay. I was reminded last week. We talked about that last week. I was reminded last week. We made fun Tom. All of us made fun of Tom last week. like yeah i didn't that I wasn't listening. i didn't know if that was one of the statements you made last week.
00:18:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
This is my look of surprise. Yeah, he he was never officially canonized by the Catholic Church. Did you talk about that? Yeah, I did. Again last week? Uh-huh. No, you didn't. I did. Wow, I really did not listen to any of that segment. I don't remember. You guys talked over me the whole time. Tom's mixing his other podcast. You talked over me the whole time. I was trying to tell you guys all these things. How's it feel? Welcome to my world, Tom.
00:18:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
How's it feel, bitch? I'm just explaining. There's a difference between complaining complaining. You guys cannot date this week. That's a mansplain right there. He just mansplained you You guys cannot date this week.
00:18:54
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Condescending Tom is back. That's his weakness. d d man I'm out of here, bitches. All right. So now it brings us to another important topic.
00:19:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
What the hell is Link going to do with the rest of his life? Does anybody have any great suggestions?
Career Path Brainstorm for Link
00:19:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I do. I do not. I know Brett does. Oh, well, it feels like some pressure now.
00:19:19
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Does that mean I'm starting? No, because you you intentionally said I need a week to prepare for this. carnival bark It turns out I did in five minutes in Jeff's driveway. It can't be anything to do with talking because I feel like people just talk right over me the entire time. One of mine was. What did you say? There goes two of mine. Oh, good. Imagine that. it goes But I've got one that definitely you wouldn't have to talk a lot. what What else do we need to remove from the list, Link? What else is not your wheelhouse? There's yeah there is a lot of stuff. You know that.
00:19:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
you know that all right are you starting it Tom go ahead I can okay do it and i I like this one because I think it's appropriate not only has nothing not oh it's up here so it's all up in his noggin it's all up here not only for Link but uh it kind of pertains to the show because it's in Utah actually got it legitimately so Mormon though so you're familiar with the the show Dirty Jobs right sure yep one of the most recent episodes The Beaver Relocation Program.
00:20:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yes. they put it in the back in utah and uh so essentially what you do is uh grab some beaver you grab the beavers and you go build them a dam somewhere other than where they're damming it up and because they're they're damaging property and places they don't want them damaging so they take them somewhere else not sure if you're going to know this answer but what color beavers do they have or is it all colors well i think the utah is it non-discriminatory a brown closely shaved beaver you can't you can't have damaging without dam though high and tight just saying so he's got to build the dams the lazy ass beavers aren't going to build the dams well you got to get the dams over there to get the beavers over there so you know how it goes what i know
00:21:06
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
But if you're going to take a dam away, you got to give them a dam. Hang on. So i that's why it's a dirty job because you got to build dams and you got to. I can't grab a beaver. Well, you can. Take it somewhere else. Sure, you can.
00:21:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And just throw in the water. Well, you can. But I think in some states that's illegal. It might make her mad. That might piss her off a little bit mad. I recommend grabbing by the back of the head first. Not straight beaver. You don't want to go in forward on that. You want to sneak up on it.
00:21:33
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You want to carry it like a dog. You know, by the, what's that called? The nape of the neck? What's that extra skin called? Scruff? The nape. Scruff? Scruff. Yeah. yeah Yes. Scruff. Scruff. The beaver by the scruff. Yeah.
00:21:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I just thought it'd be a great job. And it's in Utah. How bad could it be? It's Utah. I bet it pays good. Probably does. I bet that's above average. Interesting. So that was the first one I came up with.
00:21:58
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
What do you got, Brett? Huh. Well, I didn't watch Dirty Jobs come up with this list, but we'll so we'll see where we go here. In no particular order for me. I'm sure there's not. But the first two are somewhat related.
00:22:10
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, good. I thought bidet salesman is perfect for this dude. You're not wrong. But. He doesn't like selling people. i I've been around Lange a long time. I'm like, man, sales isn't really, i think his skill set, especially in a ah the kind of door-to-door setting, right? Because I think you would have to.
00:22:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
sell a bidet door to door. I would think so. Yeah. back to backdoor Back door to back door. yeah For sure. So would he be a bidet demonstrator as opposed to a salesperson?
00:22:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Bidet tester is what my, is is what these, the second level bidet involved. You have a sparkly ass. Could I, do i need to change my name to like Chester? Chester the tester? Bidet tester. Chester the bidet tester. Chester the tester.
00:22:56
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Or Lester. oh Yeah, let's not go with Chester. I think there's a different implication there. That does bring me to my fifth job choice for Got it. Dodo salesman?
00:23:09
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Dodo salesman. What? don Yes, Dodo. Those are extinct. Well, see if you're really good at sales, you can sell some shit that's extinct. Yep. All right. So ah those were my first first ones that came to mind.
00:23:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Jeff got one? Not yet. Oh, it's up there, Jeff. It's there. It's still on the squirrel cage. He hasn't shook it loose yet. It's still on the beaver cage. He's still been building the dam. In all honesty, though, I did think this week when I was thinking about this, as much as you're going to disagree with me,
00:23:44
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You are. Always. Always. No, this is serious. um There's no jokes in this. Seriously. Which is why you're smirking right now. He can't get it out. which This is part of this setup. No, there really isn't.

Indentured servants. Yeah. and yeah I think you'd have to do that down south because I think that's the only place that's illegal. I still think it's illegal.
00:27:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
ah You're paying them, Tom. You're giving them a home? Yeah, you're giving them job. Three square? Got it. Huh. Yeah. Okay. So like prison? Similar. No, no. You guys are taking a good idea.

00:27:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Nancy still has homeless connections, right? but Yeah. So you can pay those guys minimum wage and start making everybody's lives better. um So ah no joke yeah originally when, I mean, she's still technically the, uh, the president of the board of directors for a um circle city village is what's called. yeah Um,
00:28:18
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
They're trying to build a homeless community, um tiny homes. Yeah. But ah originally, that was one of the things where they were going to have like a – where people could make donations, kind of like a Goodwill thing. Right. And then have the some of the residents like work in that thrift shop, yeah so to speak, and have have other things on there. Yeah.
00:28:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts

00:28:55
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I'd have to learn how to build dams first, I think. I'm sure you can do that. The first thing you've got to do is learn how to grab a beaver. I still know. We've already got showers. The scruff of the neck. Well. scruff of the neck. Pick them up like a six-pack. Yeah, I think it's six-pack. I think that's the best. You probably trap them.

I don't know. but I hope there was more to that. But I don't know what it is. so ah This one, though, is legit. I think you could start some type of dad joke social media page.
00:30:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
oh that Right in your wheelhouse. That is in your wheelhouse. Don't cost nothing. no don't cost Don't cost nothing. It costs a little bit. And you'd probably get tons of follows and likes. Traffic. Oh, I'm sure just like this podcast. No, you would.
00:30:33
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Believe me. I don't know why, but leader on those kind of sites get a lot of traffic. yeah They just do. So start an OnlyFans and a dad joke site and see over the course of months, see which has more traffic.

I just saw some father. Like the singer Drake? Yes. He came from a school that complained about NCAA rule violation. and what Didn't I see that? there can They're threatening to sue. They were sued the NCAA. Yeah, West Virginia was. yeahs done yeah yeah It was some grandstanding by the governor.
00:48:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah i'll yeah I'll give you that. But um it is odd. the first two teams left out of the tournament. And preface all this. I don't follow college basketball nearly like I used to.
00:48:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
By all accounts, the first team left out was West Virginia. That's what the committee said. yep Second team left out was Indiana. know And their statistics versus the last team that got in, significantly better. Not necessarily wins, losses, but quality of wins.
00:48:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And also, they didn't have any what they call really bad losses. but The a president... And in the team that got in was North Carolina. The president of the committee to determine who's in the NCAA tournament is the athletic director at North Carolina. Mm-hmm.
00:49:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, hmm. What bonus did he get, Brett, if North Carolina made NCAA tournament? I don't know that. I don't know that. $1 million bonus. That's even more distant. In his contract, it's a $1 million dollars bonus.
00:49:27
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So, you know, selection— is that even on the selection committee or leading the selection It's good old boy. In that role. It's a good old boy. And they say, right, yeah if you're a school— because There's no way you're going to exclude everybody. Yep, right. Because you want somebody from schools involved, I would think. Sure. Right, right, right.
00:49:44
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
oh, allegedly he wasn't in the room when this was discussed, just like if Purdue was discussed, um a Purdue reporter, whatever. Would have to walk out of the room, yeah. Yeah, but you're going to dinner with these, you know, you're there for four or five days, however long, probably you know some longer than that. is wrong. Absolutely.
NCAA Tournament & College Sports Dynamics
00:50:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Very wrong with that.
00:50:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Very wrong with that. Now, it it it helps his cause that North Carolina kicked the shit out of whoever they played last night in the playing game, but still, you don't win that game if you're not there. i mean, you can make a small case for IU. i don't think they deserved, you know. we West Virginia's case is better than West Virginia's case is unbelievable.
00:50:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I mean, yeah, they should have definitely made it in before North Carolina made it in. Right. Yep. Interesting. Yeah, there's, just when you hear, like said, I didn't even know that until I started reading and and watching some stuff. I'm like,
00:50:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Hold on. That's dirty pool. Sounds to me like it goes goes back to money. and like we've always said before, that money corrupts everything. man So afterwards, i face selection a little bit not a lot of after the selection was over, they interviewed the commissioner, ah Bubba Cunningham, I think is his name. Bubba. He's the AD at North Carolina. course he is He had a guy right next to him that was also on the committee, I think maybe vice chairman or whatever. Billy Bob. Yes. They start asking him, they start asking Bubba about, you know, is it diversity how did you how did you come to this how did you come to this conclusion that North Carolina blah, blah, blah. And he goes, I'm not going to answer that question. Kevin over here next to me is going to answer that question. And then the next morning on all the sports talk shows, same damn thing. He had somebody there to deflect. Yeah.
00:51:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So I saw i saw that in interview live. He never answered the question, by the way. No. He said, oh, we go to great lengths to make sure that there's – if you're a school or you have any connection to the school, that you're not involved in the discussion, you leave the room, discussion happens. I'm like, you didn't answer – the the question at all like why North Carolina over West Virginia. Right.
00:51:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And that was never. Yeah. Yeah. That that whole thing right there I'm like, Oh, it's, it's good old boy network. The article I read said he went out, he did go out in the hallway, but then he grabbed a cup and held it up to the door.
00:52:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's article I read. I don't know. its It was on the internet. It was on the internet. Was there a picture? Yes. Yes, there was. That's on only fans. Is anybody else taking the next two days off to watch? this ah Yes, I am. yeah ah Well, should you ask since you asked. No, I will not be taking any time off to watch basketball. I've done it every year for the last many, many, many years. it's I don't care enough. That's the problem with me. I don't care you don't care, yeah. Yeah, I don't follow it. i don't I got a bracket. I just realized while were sitting here talking, I haven't even filled it out yet.
00:52:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um So im probably ought to i need to get that done. And I did pay. i always pay $10 to get in a bracket. Sure, sure. Just for kicks. But I don't know enough about any of the teams. Link's running brackets. Just give him $10. Anything I, if I happen to win something, it's nothing short of a miracle. So it's kind of like your fantasy football league. Fantasy football totally different. I want all kinds of money in fantasy football. This year, this year, Jeff, what are you talking about? The last three years or so have have not done an NCAA. Either of I. Just, I just, yeah I got to the point, I'm just, I think the one year I was going to, and I just forgot, or the time limit came up, the game started, was like, ah, shit, I forgot.
00:53:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
The next year, I'm like, you know what? That was fun. It actually was okay. Just watching the games and not caring. you know I can still root for teams, find a team to root for or whatever, but who cares?
00:53:26
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I hate the way all of those are scored, meaning for almost all all the ones I've ever been in. First round's worth one point. yeah And then it gets to some weird progression.
00:53:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Like if you pick the winner, that's 32 points or something. yeah Might even be more than that. yeahp So if you got every first round game right, you would get 32 points. But if you just pick the winner to get there for that one game they win, it's 32. It's tougher skill.
00:53:53
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
it's a tougher skill to pick a 13 beating a three, then it is a whatever. to enough to take it own to the title game yeah To take a number one and a number two all the way to the title. yeah yeah And there's always the upsets, right? there's always There's always going to be an upset somewhere in the bracket.
00:54:11
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And airby's going to talk that's what everybody will be talking about. well they're saying that I can't believe. They're saying this year that there's a lot of chalk. that that That ones and twos are going to make it to the... so There might be a you know upset here or there but it looks pretty from what the gambling people say looks pretty chalked for the ones and two i don't know that i do i do now okay yeah with your new business no as of like 10 seconds ago the ones and twos are going make it the high seeds everybody that's supposed to win is going to win chalk talk yeah chalk talk kansas kansas is going to up there yeah
00:54:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
With their rocks and their charts. Jayhawk. It will be interesting two to three years from now when NIL is completely taken over. taken over completely to I'm not saying it isn't kind of already there.
00:55:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
There's more to come. But how is there a, who was it a couple years ago, the little school in Florida, or hell, let's even take Butler from, what is that? 10-ish years ago, 10 to 15 years ago? Yeah, no longer, yeah. yeah Butler ain't going to be able to compete if they don't have n NIL money. Correct.
00:55:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So is there ever going to be a 5-12 upset again in that scenario when n NIL is really... completely dominating the top 40 programs and the in the country?
00:55:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
What they're talking about doing, yeah part of the talk, is unionizing the players and collective bargaining agreements, which will help the smaller schools. yeah So salary cap, kind of, right? correct Correct. But my thought on that is, is you know you're openly paying these payers players now.
00:55:52
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
A lot of schools were... Privately paying them. Before all this shit started. So it's it's nothing's going to change except for now. Some of it's open. You know that Link, the number two guard at IU, is making $2 million dollars a year, whatever that number is. yeah Why number two? That's a shooting guard. Why number two? That's a shooting guard. Oh, the position.
00:56:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Okay. The number one guard in all of your hearts. Yes. But yeah the number two shooting guard. Okay, got it. You know who number two works for. Hence the bidet sale idea. Oh, there you go. It all full circle. There you go.
