Speaker
So.
Kentucky Derby Insights
00:00:59
Speaker
First on the list is the Derby, Kentucky Derby.
00:01:03
Speaker
I know nothing about that.
00:01:06
Speaker
You know something about that.
00:01:08
Speaker
So I'll probably ask dumb questions and we'll just get through that thing.
00:01:13
Speaker
Oakland A's, which is, I think it's been a couple of weeks ongoing, but Oakland A's looking like they're moving out of Oakland.
00:01:22
Speaker
Oakland's going to have no teams.
00:01:24
Speaker
We'll touch on the NBA playoffs and then a little hockey.
00:01:28
Speaker
Boom.
00:01:30
Speaker
Beautiful job.
00:01:31
Speaker
Beautiful job.
00:01:32
Speaker
Hey, pancakes.
00:01:34
Speaker
What's the deal with horses, man?
00:01:37
Speaker
All right.
00:01:37
Speaker
So as the Kentucky Derby, as you know, I'm from Kentucky.
00:01:41
Speaker
It is a big deal.
00:01:43
Speaker
to not only Kentucky but the world fresh all right you know um I went once when I think it was like maybe 2007 when I went the Queen of England was there you know when she was alive um wait 2007 I think 2007 uh but she's gone multiple times she's gone multiple times so maybe they were there with the Queen I don't know anybody who's you know anybody has gone to the Derby all right so you just it's like a thing you do
00:02:10
Speaker
My parents went, I just, cause I, exactly.
00:02:12
Speaker
Cause they know what's up.
00:02:13
Speaker
Well, yeah, well, your parents are better than you for that.
00:02:16
Speaker
So what's the drink that they drink?
00:02:19
Speaker
Mint juleps is the drink, the official drink of the Derby.
00:02:22
Speaker
No, it's not.
00:02:24
Speaker
That's what you start the day with.
00:02:25
Speaker
You start the day with the mimosas.
00:02:27
Speaker
Then you work your way up to the mint juleps.
00:02:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:30
Speaker
But as it is every year, you know, like the favorite doesn't win because I just feel like that doesn't really happen.
00:02:39
Speaker
A horse that, you know, I talked about liking forever just solely on the name Mage was the winner of the Derby.
00:02:44
Speaker
As you recall, I was like, I think I want to bet this horse just because of that.
00:02:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:49
Speaker
Did you do that?
00:02:51
Speaker
I put that horse in an exact bet, which was my mistake instead of just betting that horse to win like I should have.
00:03:00
Speaker
And an exact of fresh is where you pick the horses that come in first and second.
00:03:05
Speaker
And because you know really nothing, as you said, about the derby or betting, I'm going to read you some of the payouts that were for this derby because, you know, like the favorite horses didn't win.
00:03:14
Speaker
And those payouts are scaled based on the odds of the horse winning.
00:03:17
Speaker
And the horse that won Mage...
00:03:20
Speaker
was a 15 to one, I think.
00:03:21
Speaker
Okay, before you do that, can I help you out here real quick?
00:03:26
Speaker
Yeah, go for it.
00:03:27
Speaker
Pancakes was in a different state at the time of that, of that bet.
00:03:31
Speaker
Well, covered.
00:03:33
Speaker
Oh, yeah, of placing bets.
00:03:35
Speaker
I was in a state where it was legal.
00:03:39
Speaker
Full disclosure.
00:03:39
Speaker
All right, so on a $2 bet to win, if you would have bet Mage, $2 to win, paid $32.42.
00:03:44
Speaker
Just a $2 bet to win.
00:03:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:03:50
Speaker
So we're going to scroll on down to an exacta, which as I told you, so if you pick the horse that comes in first and second, if you pick back correctly and put down just $2, the payout for that was $330 on a $2 bet.
00:04:00
Speaker
All right.
00:04:00
Speaker
So that's why you made such a,
00:04:08
Speaker
giant mistake is that what you're telling me it was it was i didn't put you know dollar signs in your eyes yeah i wanted to try my luck um yeah and a trifecta which is picking the horse that comes in first second and third and you can do things where you can box it so like if you just bet the horses it doesn't really matter what order they come in but say you pick the horses correctly on a 50 cent bet fresh yeah that that paid out 491 dollars on a 50 cent bet
00:04:37
Speaker
So, which is crazy because people bet like a lot of money on like a trifecta.
00:04:41
Speaker
Like people bet like a $50 trifecta.
00:04:44
Speaker
So just think about if you would win $491 if you just put down two quarters, if you got that right.
00:04:51
Speaker
If you got that right, that's not easy to get right.
00:04:54
Speaker
No, it's not.
00:04:55
Speaker
And a superfecta is picking the horses that come in first, second, third, and fourth.
00:05:00
Speaker
Which is really hard, obviously, to do.
00:05:04
Speaker
But say you did that for this derby.
00:05:06
Speaker
If you bet $1 and got the Superfecta right, you won $15,643.
00:05:10
Speaker
Jesus.
00:05:12
Speaker
For a dollar.
00:05:14
Speaker
A dollar bet.
00:05:16
Speaker
Just say you happen to be like, I like these four horses.
00:05:19
Speaker
I'm going to bet a dollar on it.
00:05:20
Speaker
You just won $15,000.
00:05:21
Speaker
Wait.
00:05:24
Speaker
Okay.
00:05:25
Speaker
I wish I knew this before the derby.
00:05:27
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:05:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:29
Speaker
I've just picked, can you just bet 10 different dollars and pick?
00:05:34
Speaker
In theory, yes, you could do two, like 10 different superfectos.
00:05:37
Speaker
But however, like you, if you don't box it, which if you box your bet, that means that the horses can come in any order.
00:05:45
Speaker
Like you just pick the right amount of horses that costs extra.
00:05:49
Speaker
you know, so you would, you could spend quite a bit of money if you bet them and then you wanted to box them so that it didn't matter what order they came in.
00:05:58
Speaker
So it's not, it's not a good bet.
00:06:01
Speaker
It's like a superfecta, but you, you bet like one superfecta and just hope that
Oakland A's Potential Move to Las Vegas
00:06:05
Speaker
it's right.
00:06:05
Speaker
Basically.
00:06:07
Speaker
But couldn't you just go to like, I can't anyway.
00:06:09
Speaker
So I guess it actually doesn't matter now that I'm rethinking it because I live in California, but, um,
00:06:15
Speaker
Couldn't I just go to like Barstool Sportsbook and bet once there and then bet a different bet at whatever FanDuel?
00:06:24
Speaker
I wouldn't spread your bet.
00:06:25
Speaker
No, I wouldn't spread your bets like that.
00:06:27
Speaker
It's just the cost of the bet.
00:06:30
Speaker
No, because that dollar bet doesn't include boxing the horses.
00:06:34
Speaker
So somebody would have had when they go to bet it, they would have to say, okay, I think Mage is going to come in first.
00:06:40
Speaker
I think Two Phils is going to come in second.
00:06:42
Speaker
And I think Angels of the Empire is going to come in third.
00:06:44
Speaker
And I can't remember the horse that came in fourth, but they would say, I think whatever horse is going to come in fourth and you have to pick the order that they come in.
00:06:50
Speaker
Right.
00:06:51
Speaker
And if you wanted to box it, I can't remember how much that costs on a Superfecta because I haven't been in a state where I could gamble aside from, you know, Derby weekend in over a year.
00:07:02
Speaker
Right.
00:07:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm any smarter at this than when we started, but this is very confusing.
00:07:09
Speaker
What's the exact day again?
00:07:12
Speaker
Picking the horses that come in first and second.
00:07:15
Speaker
Okay, first, second, first, second, third, first, second, third, fourth.
00:07:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:18
Speaker
All right.
00:07:18
Speaker
Well, cool, man.
00:07:19
Speaker
I mean, it sounds fun.
00:07:20
Speaker
I know my parents had a blast when they were there.
00:07:24
Speaker
Yeah, maybe I have to start paying attention to it more.
00:07:27
Speaker
You know, I guess I don't because I didn't.
00:07:29
Speaker
I'm not from Kentucky and I don't live in a state where you can gamble.
00:07:33
Speaker
But, you know, it is what it is.
00:07:35
Speaker
You know, Vegas isn't that far, I guess, you know.
00:07:41
Speaker
from me hello i'm just waiting i'm just waiting for you to transition into the oakland i'm gonna have to cut cut this so much of this you don't have to cut it you want to you want to be the agenda man you got to work on those well i need hand signals or something you're not giving me anything you need a third base coach signals over here you know doing something brushing your shoulders or something all right oakland ace boom transition handled
00:08:09
Speaker
The Raiders, obviously, everyone knows if you follow sports.
00:08:12
Speaker
Oakland, they've moved a lot.
00:08:15
Speaker
L.A., Oakland, L.A., Oakland, whatever.
00:08:17
Speaker
They're in Las Vegas now.
00:08:21
Speaker
Oakland's losing another team.
00:08:22
Speaker
It seems like, for the most part, done that the Oakland Athletics and baseball are moving to Las Vegas.
00:08:31
Speaker
And you had a pretty good article you found that has a scoop on that.
00:08:34
Speaker
I think it looks like they're tearing down a pretty historic casino, too, to do this.
00:08:39
Speaker
some resort i don't know if it's i don't know anything about vegas because i've never been outside of like the tropicana that's like a pretty long time standing casino yeah is that the one that's like a haunted or bad luck i don't know about that but i know like tropicana and vegas like big deal it's one of the ones you think about i don't know if it's but there's so many more high-end ones like win and like all these other ones now but um
00:09:06
Speaker
Anyways, that seems interesting to me.
00:09:07
Speaker
I think it's like pretty old school one that's maybe a little more run down now, though.
00:09:13
Speaker
But you want to give us the scoop on that?
00:09:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:15
Speaker
So the scoop on that, the latest update came today, which is the Oakland A's say they have reached an agreement with Bally's.
00:09:23
Speaker
You said it's Bally's?
00:09:24
Speaker
That's how I've always heard it.
00:09:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:26
Speaker
Bally's Corporation to build a stadium on the site of the Tropicana Resort.
00:09:32
Speaker
That proposed stadium would cost about $1.5 billion with under $400 million of that figure coming from public financing.
00:09:40
Speaker
If the agreement goes through, Bally's would demolish the Tropicana and permit the A's to build a stadium which would seat about 35,000 people and feature a retractable roof.
00:09:51
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:52
Speaker
So, yeah, I guess you have to have a roof in Vegas.
00:09:54
Speaker
It gets hot as hell.
00:09:56
Speaker
Yeah, it's a little wild because I don't live all that far from, you know, Oakland, San Francisco is kind of just a bridge apart, right?
00:10:04
Speaker
They're kind of right in the same bay.
00:10:08
Speaker
I don't live that far from there.
00:10:10
Speaker
It's crazy because there's going to be no teams left in either city.
00:10:13
Speaker
Like this quote-unquote San Francisco 49ers,
00:10:17
Speaker
They're down in Silicon Valley.
00:10:18
Speaker
Like, they're nowhere near San Francisco.
00:10:20
Speaker
I've been to a game there.
00:10:22
Speaker
They're nowhere near San Francisco, right?
00:10:25
Speaker
The Golden State Warriors.
00:10:26
Speaker
The Giants, though, are, like, in San Francisco, right?
00:10:28
Speaker
I guess.
00:10:29
Speaker
Yeah, the Giants are and the Warriors are.
00:10:32
Speaker
But you just, I mean, technically, they're still the San Francisco 49ers, but, again, it was like, I don't know.
00:10:39
Speaker
It's a good drive to get there.
00:10:41
Speaker
And then Oakland is going to have no teams left after this.
00:10:45
Speaker
And they're thinking, like, 2027.
00:10:46
Speaker
I think.
00:10:47
Speaker
I read that their lease with the stadium, though, ends in 2024, so I don't know what they do for those three years.
00:10:55
Speaker
But it's got to be a bummer, man, if you're an Oakland fan.
00:11:00
Speaker
I would be – I don't know, man, if, like, the Patriots moved and, like, they're the whatever Patriots, you know, the Louisville Patriots all of a sudden.
00:11:10
Speaker
Like, yeah, I would still want to root for them because they're the Patriots, but they wouldn't be, like, my hometown team anymore.
00:11:17
Speaker
And, dude, I feel terrible for Oakland fans.
00:11:19
Speaker
They just lost the only teams they had.
00:11:22
Speaker
Well, the stadium that they're playing, part of the reason they're moving fresh is because the stadium they play in is like a hunk of junk.
00:11:29
Speaker
It is a hunk of junk.
00:11:31
Speaker
The Oakland A's stadium, current stadium, is really old.
00:11:36
Speaker
And, I mean, it's the Coliseum, the Ring Central Coliseum.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah, they have, like, super – do they have –
00:11:45
Speaker
ton of room or no foul room i think they have like a it's not even meant to be a baseball stadium yeah i think the seats are like pretty far from the foul line like so you're like further from the game whereas like at fenway you're like right on the foul line like yeah um i think that's what it is oakland has like a ton of extra room after beyond the foul line but um yeah
00:12:11
Speaker
So I don't know.
00:12:11
Speaker
Yeah, great.
00:12:12
Speaker
The stadium sucks.
00:12:13
Speaker
But like, I'd be pissed at the owners, man, just build a new stadium in Oakland right here, you know?
00:12:19
Speaker
They wanted, they like, that's what fans wanted them to do.
00:12:23
Speaker
And their owner didn't want to do that because he wanted, when we talk about that $400 million coming from public financing in Las
Public Financing for Stadiums: Ethical Debate
00:12:33
Speaker
Vegas, what that really means is public tax dollars.
00:12:35
Speaker
City of Oakland didn't want public tax dollars going to build a private stadium for this billionaire owner, which I don't blame them for.
00:12:46
Speaker
I think it's kind of crazy to me.
00:12:47
Speaker
And maybe this is like a,
00:12:49
Speaker
a weird take for it to think about $400 million of taxpayer money going to build a stadium that doesn't really benefit them financially.
00:12:58
Speaker
It's not like you're putting $400 million into education or anything.
00:13:02
Speaker
I mean, there's local, like local businesses pop up around the stadium, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:08
Speaker
A lot of people like jobs are filled at and around the stadium, you know, a lot of tourism,
00:13:15
Speaker
But they're seasonal and most of those jobs, those vendors in there are either minimum wage or if you're like the hot dog vendor, you're only making like what you make in tips.
00:13:23
Speaker
Like when I went to the best concert ever in the world right now, Taylor Swift this past weekend, I talked to one of the vendors there at Nissan Stadium and they don't get any type of hourly pay.
00:13:34
Speaker
They only get like paid off tips.
00:13:38
Speaker
Like that's all they got paid.
00:13:39
Speaker
That might be his like little thing though.
00:13:42
Speaker
what do you mean his like whoever owns a nissan stadium was he outside the stadium the stadium no he was inside the stadium that was all the vendors like i talked to them i was like that's crazy they're like yeah they got no hourly pay which i mean she sold out that stadium it was like 70 000 plus different state different state
00:14:00
Speaker
Yeah, I guess it's California, so the laws might be different.
00:14:03
Speaker
But if the guy doesn't want to, like, front money to fix a stadium, what makes you think that he's going to front any more money to pay the workers?
00:14:11
Speaker
Well, no, we're talking Nevada.
00:14:11
Speaker
Like, Nevada, I don't know the laws on Nevada.
00:14:13
Speaker
But I'm saying, like, as far as, like, that $400 million, you are supporting the local economy in a lot of ways.
00:14:20
Speaker
Like, the amount of jobs created just by filling a stadium worth of people selling hot dogs, whatever they get paid, you know?
00:14:28
Speaker
is something, but I don't know.
00:14:31
Speaker
They make so much revenue from that team in general.
00:14:34
Speaker
I think that it is an absolute ridiculous thing to expect public tax dollars to go to something that you own privately.
00:14:42
Speaker
It's not like it's a- Well, the Raiders took $750 million.
00:14:45
Speaker
So they want, I thought it was $500 million, but whatever, $400 million, $500 million.
00:14:49
Speaker
It's ridiculous that tax dollars go into something that a billionaire owns privately.
00:14:54
Speaker
I can never support that.
00:14:55
Speaker
Yeah, it's just always been the way it is, you know?
00:14:58
Speaker
Except for Green Bay, which that team, you know, is like, what, owned by the city?
00:15:01
Speaker
They're like the only team in the NFL that is like that.
00:15:04
Speaker
Aaron Rodgers doesn't play for that team anymore.
00:15:08
Speaker
No, I was going to try.
00:15:10
Speaker
I was literally positive to not say Aaron Rodgers.
00:15:13
Speaker
I was like, get my mind.
00:15:14
Speaker
That was a genuine thought, too.
00:15:17
Speaker
I know.
00:15:17
Speaker
That was last week.
00:15:19
Speaker
Whatever darkness retreat he went on.
00:15:21
Speaker
He's in our heads, man.
00:15:22
Speaker
Witchcraft, yeah.
00:15:23
Speaker
He's living rent-free.
00:15:25
Speaker
Rent-free in our heads.
00:15:26
Speaker
This guy's a powerful guy.
00:15:29
Speaker
Can I give you a little theory?
00:15:31
Speaker
Sure.
00:15:32
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:33
Speaker
Billionaire owners, what are they like?
00:15:35
Speaker
Money.
00:15:37
Speaker
Where are they going?
00:15:38
Speaker
Vegas.
00:15:38
Speaker
What's the future of sports and what's growing so rapidly right now?
00:15:44
Speaker
Gambling.
00:15:45
Speaker
gambling.
00:15:46
Speaker
So, you know, look at all the ads on TV for FanDuel.
00:15:50
Speaker
Again, Barstool, Sportsbook, and I forget the other one.
00:15:53
Speaker
Like, you just see all these ads on TV.
00:15:55
Speaker
DraftKings is a big one.
00:15:57
Speaker
I see those all the time, and I can't even buy in this state.
00:15:59
Speaker
I can't even gamble either.
00:16:01
Speaker
I'm like, you're showing me ads?
00:16:02
Speaker
Yes.
00:16:02
Speaker
But more and more states, like, all the time are legalizing gambling, you know, online gambling.
00:16:08
Speaker
And the amount of money they're making is, like, we're not just talking like, oh, they're doing pretty good.
00:16:13
Speaker
They're making...
00:16:15
Speaker
Almost mind, you can't even conceive the amount of money they're making.
00:16:19
Speaker
So you got two teams from Oakland.
00:16:22
Speaker
Yeah, they need some upgrades.
00:16:24
Speaker
Why not go to Vegas?
00:16:25
Speaker
It's not that far away for their fans.
00:16:27
Speaker
It's not convenient by any means if you're a fan of either Oakland team, or I guess now Las Vegas, and A's are currently still in Oakland.
00:16:37
Speaker
But you're going to like the mecca of gambling.
00:16:40
Speaker
They're going to do good with that.
00:16:41
Speaker
I guarantee you they're going to get some good sponsorships from that and make a boatload of money off of that.
00:16:47
Speaker
Oh, absolutely.
00:16:48
Speaker
I mean, I definitely get what you're saying, like the vision for it.
00:16:53
Speaker
And that just like makes me think is like how long, how long until Vegas gets a basketball team?
00:16:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:58
Speaker
I mean, for real.
00:16:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:59
Speaker
And the NBA is talking about expanding and like, I don't know.
00:17:04
Speaker
It's, it's a lot.
00:17:05
Speaker
I would, yes, you're already a billionaire, but like, I think if you're the type of guy that,
00:17:10
Speaker
goes all the way to becoming a billionaire, you're still not satisfied.
00:17:14
Speaker
You still want all that money, you know, and power and whatever.
00:17:18
Speaker
And that's kind of what that's kind of like your
00:17:21
Speaker
I mean, yeah, he said that that's his, like, main reason for leaving is, like, oh, the city of Oakland's not going to give me $400 million in tax revenue to help me build my private stadium.
00:17:31
Speaker
So I'm going to go take my team elsewhere to the place it is.
00:17:34
Speaker
I mean, I get it.
00:17:35
Speaker
I understand it.
00:17:36
Speaker
I just think that it's disgusting.
00:17:39
Speaker
I mean, what a power move, dude.
00:17:40
Speaker
You're going to knock down the Tropicana and just build a stadium.
00:17:44
Speaker
Like, that's, you know, this dude.
00:17:46
Speaker
So there's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on.
00:17:49
Speaker
I'm sure they have deals in place ready for as soon as they move to be sponsored by these gambling.
Future of Las Vegas Sports
00:17:55
Speaker
It'll probably be called like the DraftKings Arena or something like that.
00:17:58
Speaker
Yeah, I bet you're right.
00:18:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:01
Speaker
So like, or one of the big hotels there will sponsor it, you know, MGM, whatever, whatever they are, you know, but yeah.
00:18:11
Speaker
So that's that.
00:18:12
Speaker
All right.
00:18:12
Speaker
Let me, you want to transition?
00:18:14
Speaker
Did you look, I didn't get any hand signals.
00:18:15
Speaker
I'm just mind reading right now.
00:18:18
Speaker
Yeah, I was just going to ask you, do you think they're going to keep the name?
00:18:21
Speaker
Like the Las Vegas A's just doesn't roll off the tongue as easy.
00:18:26
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know.
00:18:27
Speaker
They tend to, I mean, they always do historically.
00:18:31
Speaker
Los Angeles Lakers, the Utah Jazz were from Louisiana, New Orleans.
00:18:38
Speaker
Jazz, right?
00:18:40
Speaker
There's no jazz in Utah.
00:18:41
Speaker
No one's ever even held an instrument in the state of Utah before.
00:18:45
Speaker
but they're still called the Utah Jazz, right?
00:18:48
Speaker
So like, yeah, I mean, I guess when the Seattle Supersonics went to Oklahoma, they changed to the Thunder.
00:18:54
Speaker
So it's not unprecedented, but I don't know.
00:18:58
Speaker
Los Angeles Rams were the St.
00:18:59
Speaker
Louis Rams.
00:19:00
Speaker
You know, when the Raiders went to LA, they stayed the Raiders.
00:19:03
Speaker
When they went to Vegas, they stayed the Raiders.
00:19:05
Speaker
So it's more common that they would just keep the name, but I guess, yeah, you could be the what?
00:19:11
Speaker
Las Vegas to all our bills.
00:19:12
Speaker
I would guess they just keep it, right?
00:19:14
Speaker
Because
00:19:15
Speaker
I guess, I guess we'll find out.
00:19:18
Speaker
You know what?
00:19:18
Speaker
You know what I thought about as we were talking about how they, the stadium they play in now is like really bad.
00:19:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:24
Speaker
And it's junky and it's not made for baseball.
00:19:26
Speaker
What if they go play in like the, the Raiders stadium and it's like the deal just falls through and they're stuck in another football stadium.
00:19:32
Speaker
That would be hilarious to me.
00:19:33
Speaker
Yeah, dude, for real.
00:19:35
Speaker
I know.
00:19:36
Speaker
You used to watch games like growing up and they're playing football and there's a baseball diamond in the diamond in the middle.
00:19:42
Speaker
It always looks so terrible.
00:19:45
Speaker
so terrible so i guess good for them i mean i guess maybe if you play for the team and you're not from oakland you're probably like cool let's get some upgrades here you know i'm sure the facilities there suck too like we talked about one one of our other episodes where the players did report cards for the nfl i'm just obviously they have their own feelings in the in mlb too so we'll see but yeah they probably want the stadium upgrade just on the locker room side of things but um all right
00:20:13
Speaker
Now I'm going to transition now because now I feel like I went long on the first one.
Boston Celtics' Playoff Challenges
00:20:17
Speaker
Now I feel like you went long on this.
00:20:18
Speaker
So I'm going to just transition.
00:20:20
Speaker
You ready for that?
00:20:21
Speaker
Do as you please.
00:20:22
Speaker
Behind the scenes.
00:20:23
Speaker
NBA playoffs.
00:20:27
Speaker
Weird, weird shit going on.
00:20:29
Speaker
Not happy about it.
00:20:31
Speaker
I've been a very unhappy young man lately.
00:20:36
Speaker
Bruins, I don't want to talk about that.
00:20:38
Speaker
Celtics are down three to two now.
00:20:40
Speaker
Lost again in the garden.
00:20:45
Speaker
Not good.
00:20:45
Speaker
Some dude on Twitter made a thing about cursed the garden being cursed.
00:20:50
Speaker
No, we did that last week.
00:20:52
Speaker
That was already done.
00:20:53
Speaker
Stole our idea.
00:20:54
Speaker
Stole our idea.
00:20:55
Speaker
I just know it.
00:20:56
Speaker
Way ahead of that.
00:20:57
Speaker
Obviously, he has no idea who we are, but come on.
00:21:00
Speaker
A week later, guy?
00:21:01
Speaker
Like, come on.
00:21:02
Speaker
You're way... Screw that guy.
00:21:05
Speaker
He's probably a great guy, but screw him.
00:21:08
Speaker
So we'll see what happens there.
00:21:10
Speaker
I'm excited about Jalen Brown.
00:21:12
Speaker
He made the All-NBA second team.
00:21:15
Speaker
Jason Tatum made the all NBA first team basically ranked like you pick a starting lineup the best starting lineup would be the all in the entire NBA from any team would be all NBA first team then you do that again for the second team so like Jalen Brown on the Celtics Steph Curry was another guy on the second team it's still really elite company now the Celtics can offer him like 290 million dollars to resign hopefully he does hope hope hope
00:21:44
Speaker
But series isn't over yet.
00:21:47
Speaker
So we got to go back to Philly.
00:21:49
Speaker
We got to win one.
00:21:51
Speaker
You know, you got to win one.
00:21:56
Speaker
And then you just win one more.
00:21:58
Speaker
You know, simple.
00:22:00
Speaker
Easy peasy.
00:22:01
Speaker
Leprechaun.
00:22:02
Speaker
Four leaf clovers.
00:22:03
Speaker
Come on.
00:22:04
Speaker
Rabbit's feet.
00:22:05
Speaker
Anything.
00:22:06
Speaker
Anything.
00:22:08
Speaker
Just win one Celtics, you know, because I think about this pancakes going into the playoffs.
00:22:13
Speaker
Right.
00:22:15
Speaker
You had one team you're rooting for, Hurricanes, okay?
00:22:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:19
Speaker
I was lucky enough.
00:22:20
Speaker
I had Bruins.
00:22:21
Speaker
I had Celtics.
00:22:23
Speaker
Still have the Celtics, but if my two teams go out before your one team, I mean, I know I keep using this joke, but end of the podcast, dude.
00:22:32
Speaker
Podcast, that's it.
00:22:34
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:22:35
Speaker
I can't go down like that.
00:22:38
Speaker
It's not my fault that, you know, the Garden's cursed.
00:22:42
Speaker
I didn't do that.
00:22:43
Speaker
Okay, what's the delay there?
00:22:45
Speaker
You just feel bad?
00:22:46
Speaker
You shouldn't feel bad.
00:22:48
Speaker
I feel bad for you.
00:22:50
Speaker
I don't feel bad for me because I had no involvement in this.
00:22:54
Speaker
I didn't make them lose in overtime.
00:22:57
Speaker
I don't play for the teams either.
00:22:58
Speaker
I mean, he hit the game-winning shot.
00:23:00
Speaker
just like 0.1 seconds too late, but phenomenal shot.
00:23:05
Speaker
Marcus Smart, green hair, green hair guy, not Batman guy.
00:23:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:11
Speaker
It's Greenman, not Batman.
00:23:12
Speaker
It's Batman.
00:23:13
Speaker
Then it's Batman.
00:23:14
Speaker
Then it's Batman.
00:23:16
Speaker
Batman and Greenman.
00:23:19
Speaker
Batman and Greenman.
00:23:20
Speaker
Inside joke.
00:23:21
Speaker
We're not going to even tell you why.
00:23:23
Speaker
So that's happening.
00:23:25
Speaker
Warriors fighting for their lives.
00:23:27
Speaker
You know what?
00:23:27
Speaker
Maybe if the Warriors lose tonight, they're out of San Francisco.
00:23:29
Speaker
They're going to Vegas.
00:23:30
Speaker
They're going to Vegas too.
00:23:32
Speaker
They're done.
00:23:33
Speaker
They're just done with the Bay Area.
00:23:35
Speaker
But we'll see.
00:23:36
Speaker
I got to assume the Warriors win tonight.
00:23:40
Speaker
I mean, otherwise LeBron wins.
00:23:42
Speaker
And I don't think I need to open that can of worms.
00:23:45
Speaker
What is crazy, though, about that is not only the Lakers doing well, but the Heat doing well.
00:23:51
Speaker
And both of those teams were bubble teams fresh.
00:23:53
Speaker
So technically, like, they really, like, weren't even, like, guaranteed into the playoffs.
00:23:57
Speaker
Like, they had to play their way to get into the playoffs.
00:24:00
Speaker
And they're kind of, like, really crushing these teams that were supposedly better than them.
00:24:06
Speaker
Could you imagine?
00:24:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's a double, double bubble, double bubble trouble.
00:24:10
Speaker
Bubble trouble.
00:24:11
Speaker
Double bubble trouble.
00:24:13
Speaker
It's going to be in the title.
00:24:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:14
Speaker
Double bubble trouble.
00:24:16
Speaker
I love when movies do that, though, when they say the title in the movie or like the TV episode, they say the title.
00:24:21
Speaker
I'm just throwing that in there for you.
00:24:22
Speaker
A little fun fact that I love that.
00:24:23
Speaker
So.
00:24:24
Speaker
What?
00:24:24
Speaker
That you love what?
00:24:25
Speaker
When they say the title of the episode?
00:24:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:28
Speaker
Or the title of the movie in the movie.
00:24:30
Speaker
Oh, in the.
00:24:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:32
Speaker
Like in heat when there's like the heat's coming around the corner.
00:24:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:35
Speaker
We just did it.
00:24:37
Speaker
We just did that.
00:24:39
Speaker
It wasn't even planned.
00:24:40
Speaker
Sorry about it.
00:24:41
Speaker
Transition incoming.
00:24:43
Speaker
Panthers.
00:24:45
Speaker
Don't want to talk about this at all.
00:24:47
Speaker
Do you?
NHL Playoffs and Team Performances
00:24:48
Speaker
I think I'm,
00:24:49
Speaker
I think it makes you the Bruins loss look way better because the Panthers are just crushing the Leafs.
00:24:56
Speaker
Like it's not even like contest.
00:24:58
Speaker
They, they have them up three to zero.
00:25:00
Speaker
They're about to sweep them.
00:25:01
Speaker
They could sweep them tonight.
00:25:03
Speaker
And, uh, it makes me an update on that.
00:25:07
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:25:07
Speaker
You got a live update.
00:25:08
Speaker
One, nothing leaves into the second one.
00:25:10
Speaker
Nothing leaves into the second, but third, third period incoming.
00:25:14
Speaker
Was that a fresh off the press?
00:25:17
Speaker
Yeah, it was fresh off the press.
00:25:19
Speaker
Yeah, fresh.
00:25:21
Speaker
Fresh off the press.
00:25:22
Speaker
Leafs up 1-0 right now.
00:25:23
Speaker
Probably doesn't mean anything knowing the way that that series has gone.
00:25:28
Speaker
The Panthers will probably score 19 goals.
00:25:30
Speaker
It's going to end 19-1.
00:25:34
Speaker
Unbeatable, crazy team, man.
00:25:35
Speaker
Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:25:37
Speaker
If a team upsets you that bad.
00:25:40
Speaker
And then they just flop in the second round.
00:25:43
Speaker
I guess I would rather the Panthers win as a Bruins fan because it's just like, let them be this team of destiny thing.
00:25:50
Speaker
And then, you know, our record is already forgotten.
00:25:53
Speaker
You know, we're there with the Red Wings and the Lightning that had these great regular seasons and didn't do a goddamn thing with them.
00:26:01
Speaker
So, yeah, go Panthers, I guess.
00:26:04
Speaker
I don't know.
00:26:04
Speaker
Do you have any thoughts on it?
00:26:05
Speaker
I guess you don't want to play the Panthers if I'm a...
00:26:09
Speaker
I'm terrified of that team now after watching them play Boston and watching them play Toronto.
00:26:15
Speaker
It haunts me in my dreams.
00:26:17
Speaker
They're a bunch of maniacs.
00:26:18
Speaker
They are.
00:26:19
Speaker
A bunch of dirty, dirty, dirty players and maniacs.
00:26:24
Speaker
Bunch of dirty Dans out there.
00:26:25
Speaker
Appalachian Trail.
00:26:26
Speaker
Bunch of dirty Dans.
00:26:29
Speaker
So, and we do have to update Man on the Street, Man on the Trail.
00:26:33
Speaker
Man on the Trail.
00:26:35
Speaker
Yeah, you guys going home game six, back to Raleigh.
00:26:40
Speaker
probably handle your business is that what you're thinking you don't want to jinx it where you at with that no comment smart smart play that was the test you passed the test now you don't want to jinx it don't give them locker room material because you know all the devils listen to our podcast you don't want to give locker room material dude so okay we'll see what happens there celtics i don't know
00:27:05
Speaker
This guy stole the curse thing.
00:27:07
Speaker
Jalen Brown made the All-NBA second team.
00:27:09
Speaker
Tatum made the first team.
00:27:11
Speaker
Maybe they get a little pat on the back from that.
00:27:13
Speaker
Like, oh, yeah, we are really good.
00:27:15
Speaker
Maybe we should go win this fucking game in Philadelphia, you know, and go back to the cursed garden.
00:27:21
Speaker
We'll see.
00:27:22
Speaker
To be determined, that's the fun of sports.
00:27:24
Speaker
That's why we do this.
00:27:25
Speaker
That's why we watch.
00:27:26
Speaker
Yeah, we'll obviously have updates for you next episode, next week.
Creative Podcast Promotion Ideas
00:27:30
Speaker
Speaking of updates, boom, transition.
00:27:33
Speaker
Since you called me out on the first one, I'm saying that every time now.
00:27:37
Speaker
Where's that man on the trail, man?
00:27:39
Speaker
You got the latest?
00:27:41
Speaker
I think he's about 100 miles in.
00:27:46
Speaker
We know at least 100 miles, so he should be past that now, right?
00:27:49
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think we have an update as of today.
00:27:51
Speaker
Yesterday, I think he hit 100 miles.
00:27:53
Speaker
He hasn't had service a lot, so he's probably in another one of those areas where he doesn't have service.
00:27:57
Speaker
But he's out there.
00:27:58
Speaker
He's doing it.
00:27:59
Speaker
Spreading fresh cakes.
00:28:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:04
Speaker
Did we tell him to make the SOS, but FCP with rocks?
00:28:08
Speaker
I don't think we did.
00:28:09
Speaker
But I don't know if he downloaded the last episode or if he was able to.
00:28:12
Speaker
So hopefully he heard it.
00:28:14
Speaker
Oh, he better be.
00:28:15
Speaker
But we can't be trusted if we're not out there marketing on the Appalachian Trail, dude.
00:28:20
Speaker
Can you imagine it becomes like this weird viral thing where it's just like people like, what does FCP mean?
00:28:26
Speaker
I've seen it in rocks all up and down the house.
00:28:28
Speaker
Yeah, it's just like, what is this, man?
00:28:32
Speaker
It's fresh cakes, man.
00:28:33
Speaker
Like food?
00:28:33
Speaker
No, no, podcast.
00:28:35
Speaker
No, no, podcast.
00:28:37
Speaker
But yeah, I think that's all we got, man.
Bo Jackson's Hiccup Saga and Alabama Sports
00:28:40
Speaker
Bo Jackson has hiccups and that's about it.
00:28:43
Speaker
Yeah, I had to get that in there.
00:28:45
Speaker
A year of hiccups.
00:28:46
Speaker
I mean, that's pretty brutal, dude.
00:28:48
Speaker
That's pretty brutal.
00:28:48
Speaker
Bo Jackson had a procedure.
00:28:50
Speaker
Year of hiccups.
00:28:52
Speaker
Hopefully it's over for him.
00:28:53
Speaker
No, I think I would.
00:28:55
Speaker
I think I would go insane.
00:28:56
Speaker
I think I'd have to be admitted into a psychiatric facility if I had hiccups for a year.
00:29:00
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not sure how you get to a year.
00:29:03
Speaker
I don't even want to talk about it, dude.
00:29:04
Speaker
If it was a day, I'd be like, I'm... I know, because you scratched it from the podcast, but I would just knock it in, didn't I?
00:29:10
Speaker
I didn't even want to put that energy out there for myself.
00:29:12
Speaker
I know.
00:29:12
Speaker
Seven days, three days, I feel like I'd be in the emergency room with that, you know?
00:29:17
Speaker
Did anything else get scratched that we should mention?
00:29:22
Speaker
Alabama, being Alabama, doing Alabama things, betting on their team to lose.
00:29:27
Speaker
Their coach got fired for that, so, you know.
00:29:29
Speaker
Yeah, Ohio bets.
00:29:31
Speaker
Yeah, just Alabama stuff.
00:29:33
Speaker
Alabama and Louisiana.
00:29:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:35
Speaker
Typical, typical, typical roll tide.
00:29:38
Speaker
Nothing worth talking about.
00:29:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:40
Speaker
Well, red tide is a fungus in the ocean that kills everything.
00:29:45
Speaker
Roll tide.
00:29:45
