Or if you want to talk chop it up with me personally, because, you know, I got more podcasts and and you making that job, going over to my Twitter account, ah Casey Y. Carmine. You dig? Yeah, no doubt, man.

We had UFC fighters ah Johnny Munoz and Therese Finley, Finney, excuse me, ah join us. And that was awesome.

00:03:15
Speaker
Therese was able to spend a little more time with us and
00:03:17
Speaker
Really give us some deep insight. Johnny was able to pop in before his stream cut him off, but it was a really amazing time. It was so much fun. So go check it out. Therese, Finney, and Johnny Munoz. All right. And also, I was thinking about you because I was like, man, I'm doing six shows in seven days. This is the run i just took yesterday off.
00:03:36
Speaker
And I was like, all right, well, that's nothing to mar. He's probably already done 10 shows in those 16.
00:03:43
Speaker
And, hey, man, I be trying to scale back. And the crazy thing scaling back to me is five shows.
00:03:53
Speaker
So that's scaling. Hey, maybe I need to get where you at. But we both need to get somewhere because we're both trying to get somewhere. And that's where we're going get you today.
00:04:04
Speaker
show For sure. For sure. And i ah we were supposed to have another special guest on from the IOW crew. Detroit Mel was supposed to make his surprise appearance after a long year, year and a half layoff. But this old man asleep. I hope he's watching right now.
00:04:23
Speaker
hope he's watching the listen new and Late in bed. eye. The other one closed. so ah No, I'm going to get him on soon, though. We just got to do it earlier an earlier time for him.
Gambling Scandals in Sports
00:04:38
Speaker
ah AP says, need a backup. Hey, AP, I am never opposed to having you on the show. If you want to join Waukar Mar and I, you are more than welcome. I see you got a CFP bracket already, so we'll talk about that. um So let's get on to it. And let me send him that link while we're doing it. But, yeah, him So starting off, I wanted to get your opinion, first of all, on a very serious subject that has been going on around the not only Major League, but and NBA and all sports in general. And I was asking Bobby G this on the podcast last week when he was on ah gambling, right? The sports gambling.
00:05:18
Speaker
We have MLB. Bobby G's team is under investigation. Emmanuel Class A, Luis Ortiz for pitching prop bets. Then you got ah Terry Rozier doing the same thing. Minutes played prop bets, pulling himself out of the game, even though you got a damn...
00:05:36
Speaker
$80 million contract, whatever. hundred Anyways, we'll get to that later. ah But Damon Jones possibly selling information on LeBron James. um You know, ah Chauncey Billups with the poker indictment where they got x-ray glasses and card counting machines. They're like, what the fuck?
00:05:56
Speaker
So all of these things are happening, this confluence of events, which really Adam silver Silver was the protagonist in this whole thing when he advocated for sports betting years ago as commissioner to do so.
00:06:10
Speaker
How do you feel about sports betting and all these stories
Sports Betting and Penalties
00:06:14
Speaker
that are now coming out? I told Bobby G about a story about New Jersey. Mafia tied in to 14 college athletes now. And then in the international world, in the Turkish Football Federation, they got 1,024 people under investigation for gambling stuff.
00:06:31
Speaker
So what do you think about all this? Hey, man, this is so... old ties gambling and sports being been married to each other for a long ass time.
00:06:42
Speaker
This ain't nothing. Why we can't be surprised as this shit is going on, bro. hey It's up to these leagues, how they want to ah enforce the rules when it comes to the actual players ah involved in gambling.
00:06:58
Speaker
Um, I think you just got to make it ah set the precedent when it comes to life. If you do this, when it comes to gambling or betting, you get this punishment and it has to be severe that it deters people from doing it.
00:07:11
Speaker
oh Cause you know, right there. Yep. isn't it There's no true determined deterrent. I should say from, from, from when it comes to having a actual legal, legal binding contract to a entity like the NFL, NBA, NBA,
00:07:29
Speaker
Major League Baseball, NHL. So once you sign that contract, man, can't do it. i just think you need to get to that point until you don't ah until you get to that point. you're You're really just feeding the pig, man. That's all you do. um And it's just, ah you know, and it's just, you know, a just words on deaf ears. you You know, you say you want to control it and, and police it, but until you really make it that, that severe when the outcome of actually betting on a sports, and I don't think you're going to take it serious and the players won't.
00:08:09
Speaker
Um, you gotta, gotta scare the living shits out of these guys. Um, when it comes to this, um, And so what do you suggest? What what would you would you say? Like automatic, you know, five-year suspension or oh you just own a lifetime ban automatically?
00:08:27
Speaker
If I worked my ass off to get into the NFL and you telling me if I hit this send on this parlay and I get caught and I can't play no more, it's not worth it.
00:08:40
Speaker
Yeah. Or sane people. It shouldn't be worth it, I should say. you know And you make a good point because a lot of college athletes, I was reading about this, are and somebody made this example, this analogy, um that a lot of college athletes are allowed to bet on pro sports.
00:09:01
Speaker
So you're letting them bet and bet every day, and they're placing, like you said, these parlays and all these bets. And you think when they get to the league, they ain't going to stop betting? Like that's just not something that is feasible at that time. Some people even get addicted to it to the point where they have to bet every day.
00:09:16
Speaker
um I know a few of my friends that are like that. So you know what I mean? um it's it's a very It's a very slippery slope. We've already come a long way down the rabbit hole.
00:09:29
Speaker
And you're right. There's not really anything you can do unless it stamped out, deterred right away, like not going happen, lifetime ban, no exceptions. And then that's when people will start to learn.
00:09:42
Speaker
And you're right. Stop to do that sort of thing.
Guest Insights on Gambling
00:09:44
Speaker
Yeah. All right. well Let's bring in AP, brother, from Let's Talk Sports Network. What's good, brother? How are you doing today?
00:09:55
Speaker
ah yeah Feels good. Oh, yes. we will We will talk about that in just a little bit. We'll get into the college football talks. But AP, how do you feel about this gambling stuff?
00:10:11
Speaker
I mean – I'm just trying to figure out the layout, so excuse me here while I'm figuring this out. No, you're good. I mean,
00:10:20
Speaker
we kind of saw this coming, didn't we? well With the the way some of these leagues have policed the gambling in the world we do today.
00:10:30
Speaker
i mean, we mentioned that the college players are allowed to gain on gamble on professional sports. Mm-hmm. And, you know, even if you do take some of the stuff away, there's this thing.
00:10:43
Speaker
It kind of reminds me of of back in the days when they tried to take away alcohol and went through the whole prohibition type prohibition stuff. um It doesn't matter if you take something away from somebody. They're still going to find a way to get it.
00:10:59
Speaker
They're still going to find a way to do it. And, you know, yeah. And if you're not going to crack down on it, like baseball really hasn't cracked down on it, then you're going to get situations like you got in Cleveland. Or, you know, if you're going to police it as much as you are, you might get what up Adam Silver did in the NBA. Or, you know, if you really don't care about it, you're just going to be like the NCAA and be like, okay, you can do whatever you want. We don't care.
00:11:25
Speaker
Because obviously we don't care about our sport. So why should we care about what you guys do?
00:11:33
Speaker
Yeah, no, you make valid points, and that's yeah pretty much allowed along the lines of what we were kind of getting at. And it's it's it's just you open Pandora's box, and once you open Pandora's box, you allow all the worms to get out. And once the worms get out, it's hard to put them all back in in the – remember that game Monkey in the Barrels we used to play?
00:11:52
Speaker
The little game with the red monkeys that you would try to put in the barrel, but they always kept falling out. or I don't even remember how the game played. All remember is that you had to keep trying to get something in and it kept falling out and I didn't like it. That's what I do remember. It's like that. It's like you let something out of the cage. It's not going to get back in.
00:12:09
Speaker
um Anyways, enough of my tired tired analogies there. i don't know why i just gave like five cliched analogies in a row, but yeah anyways, we're here. um Thank you AP for tuning in. Tell the people where they can find you, please.
00:12:23
Speaker
ah So, nor obviously, let's talk sports. I'm all over the place there. Normally, we do a wrestling show right about now, but Sam could not make it tonight, so I you had a free card. So, ah like, you know what? Why not?
00:12:38
Speaker
And then later on tonight, we'll be on Rec Room Sports Hub with, of course, Whit, Bobby G, Averill, and all those guys there talking sports and whatnot on there. So, yeah.
00:12:51
Speaker
And then we do rec room stuff on Saturday and Sunday, lock it in, which is our betting shit, two betting shows and all that good stuff. So,
00:13:01
Speaker
Got the whole Let's Talk Sports crew over there. Y'all make sure you tap in with not only IOW Sports and Wild Card Mart, but make sure you tap in with Let's Talk Sports. And AP and the crew over there, they do an amazing job covering sports as well. We all try to have a little sports consortium, excuse me as they say.
00:13:20
Speaker
You know, just try to merge forces like Voltron and help each other out a little bit in this game we call podcast
AL MVP Debate: Judge vs. Raleigh
00:13:27
Speaker
life. So thank you all again for everybody tuning in. Make sure you hit that like button, whether watching now or on the replay, it is free to you, but it is invaluable to us as well.
00:13:36
Speaker
Make sure you subscribe to ball and buds B A L L A N D B u D S on YouTube. Now AP, I'm not going ask you about this one because we've already got your opinion on this a few times already, but I do want to get Mars because I have not got his opinion yet.
00:13:51
Speaker
Mar Aaron judge, ah versus Cal Raleigh, American League MVP. Kyle Raleigh, switch hitting catcher, captain, defensive, ah best um most important, excuse me, defensive position, hit 60 home runs versus Aaron Judge, former two-time MVP, and ah counting stats. He had the batting average. He had the OBP. He had the slugging. He had all the the other stats.
00:14:24
Speaker
What say you? I mean, and I get that. And, you know, i if you're breaking down player for player, you're talking about most valuable.
00:14:35
Speaker
um I know Seattle do, you know, if they even make it to the postseason and do what they did without Kyle, man.
00:14:48
Speaker
a for For me, ah for me, for me personally, don't know. with Kyle being a catcher ah and and the amount of home runs that he did was crazy. It bananas.
00:15:02
Speaker
And you also got to take into account i he has to be in, like, in tune with his whole pitching staff. um You know, ah Aaron Judge literally just has to make sure he hit the ball and catch the ball in the outfield.
00:15:20
Speaker
i know And I'm not saying, you know, that's something simple. i So I'm not trying to downplay what he does. Obviously, you know, Aaron Judge is Aaron Judge. He's a monster. Now a three-time MVP, just me personally, I just thought the year that Kyle was valuable ah to his franchise. a You take what he did off that Mariners squad, do they even get a wild card? Kyle,
00:15:47
Speaker
you know,
00:15:51
Speaker
Cal just to me was just valuable. I look at that word. i When you got to literally be the captain of your pitching rotation, as in how important it is to be on the same page with your pitching rotation as that catcher relationship duo and you're smacking home runs in hella RBIs.
00:16:14
Speaker
Come on, bro. like You're literally affecting the whole game on both ends of the of diamond. and Boom. that's not i mean That's what I'm saying, right? like you are You have control of the whole damn game. Literally.
00:16:31
Speaker
And so you so you're similar to AP and I AP said similar on the baseball show we did a few weeks ago that, you know, they wouldn't even have made it if it wasn't cow for Cal Raleigh, while the Yankees, you know, always are in the news anyways. And, the you know, the Mariners wouldn't even have had much visibility either.
00:16:49
Speaker
I agree with that um now. ah Is Aaron Judge valuable? Yes, obviously. There's no way we cannot say one of the greatest hitters of all time and of our generation is not valuable.
Mike Trout's Loyalty to the Angels
00:17:01
Speaker
But oh if if I can interject, the Yankees also have a high paying role. And so they're not spending money on some bums. and There's bums that's surrounded ah around Aaron Judge on their roster.
00:17:17
Speaker
um You know how to operate? Come on, bro. I can't sit here and act like when the times that Aaron Judge misses because it's happened quite often where he might be out for 20 games or something a year.
00:17:33
Speaker
and And here's the thing, even when they had Judge Healthy, their defense was still historically bad. So none of that none of that really played a factor. And it's funny because I looked at the the voting because they did they show you who who all won the – because it's all the AL teams. Each rider has two votes. you go They have two riders that have each have a vote in this.
00:17:58
Speaker
And um once I saw that, I started to understand why it went the way it went. so Yeah, that was popular. AL East was split down the middle because each – remember, each team gets two votes. AL East was split down the middle 5-5.
00:18:13
Speaker
AL Central was split down the middle 5-5. AL West was 7-3 Judge. I love that. um in the way I love that.
00:18:25
Speaker
Two teams that were unanimously for Aaron Judge were the Texas Rangers and he used the Houston Astros. The two teams that hate the Mariners the most.
00:18:37
Speaker
And there's games and look who hey look who just popped in. Wild Card Mars, brother, and ours, Bobby G. Shout out the tribal chief of podcasting. What's up, brother? But i also...
00:18:49
Speaker
I also bring you out, though, my friend, because you tried to make it seem like that was a good thing for Aaron Judge. And I had to say later to Bobby G, no, no, no, no. If you've got all the A.L. West voting for Judge, that's because they're hating on their rival, the Seattle Mariners and Cal Raleigh. So Cal Raleigh really should have won the award. The only other team that was a split vote for Cal Raleigh was the Angels.
00:19:16
Speaker
The A's, Rangers, and Astros all unanimously voted for Aaron Judge. And the only reason the Angels did because they're pissed off that Aaron Judge took the MVP from showing. We can't have this.
00:19:33
Speaker
oh The Angels are just bad in general, so they don't care who they vote for at this point. Well, yeah. Mar and I last time talked about Mike Trout, and I just read an article yesterday about ah mar that reminded me of our conversation that when he was like, Mike Trout really let himself down by being too loyal to the angels and staying this, you know, he signed a contract.
00:19:54
Speaker
It's a respectful thing to do, but it doesn't make sense in terms of wanting to be. If he got traded, if he got traded it to fill it Philadelphia, like two years ago, imagine how good that team would right now.
00:20:05
Speaker
oh And stayed healthy? Oh, yeah, definitely. Because obviously phil philly Philly's where he wanted to go. If he wasn't going to stay with the Angels, he's he's a Philly guy. You see him it you see him at yeah Eagles games. You see him at Flyers games. You see him at 76ers games. He's a Philly guy, born and raised in Philly.
00:20:23
Speaker
If he wanted to go anywhere, it would have been Philadelphia.
00:20:29
Speaker
Imagine him with Bryce Harper on the same team. Ooh. I mean, if he stays on the on the on the baseball diamond. If he stays healthy, right. yep yeah Exactly.
00:20:41
Speaker
No, he should have left before Ohtani did. He should have left i
00:20:48
Speaker
years ago, in my opinion. Like I said, being the Dame Lillard of the baseball world ain't ain't a badge of honor, in my opinion.
MLB Labor Strike Speculation
00:21:00
Speaker
There you go. no That's exactly right. That is exactly right. All right, well, let's move into our last baseball topic. And I bring this up only because it's a good segue from the Otani that we just talked about. But I also read an article yesterday about how the Otani contract is probably going to be the reason that MLB goes into a labor strike next year after the season ends.
00:21:23
Speaker
They're already probably heading that way because of the media rights deals and all this other stuff anyways. But then apparently this Shohei contract is what really is tipping not only teams, but um ah even politicians in those states as well that think it's wrong for him because, you know, he could move to all these states with non-income taxes and never have to pay taxes on and all this other.
00:21:45
Speaker
I'm like, so what? Y'all the ones that gave him the contract? that's your own damn fault. Mark, we'll start with you. What do you think about that? and Whatever, man. This is just another dumbass reason why MLB might strike.
