great mc come in as who brought
up the artwork for the Daytona five hundred

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.280
bed. I was tasked with drawing
a picture of Bill Elliott when I lost

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.160
the Daytona five hundred bed and Mick. Because I'm a terrible artist, I

5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:22.760
was like, you know, let's
get Mick to do something. So Mick

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.800
brought it up here this morning.
If you want to see that, I've

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.280
posted the video you have at ninety

to see the video of the cool
artwork involving Bill Elliott, Kevio and Vin

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:51.880
Diesel. It's the Big three kind
of incredible. It is absolutely beautiful painting

12
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.159
a painting. I don't know what
you call it because he does it digitally,

13
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.079
but he does it all by hand. Yeah, I have to call

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.920
it artwork just because I don't know. It's ridiculous, is what it is.

15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.920
I'm so ridiculously awesome, not Envious
is not the word. But I'm

16
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:12.439
so fascinated by people who can just
quickly draw cool stuff. Thank you,

17
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.480
thank you, because I'm terribly Christina
can draw cool stuff too, and you

18
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.159
can hear her on the Benskin Show
from ten to two. I just saw

19
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.040

close on Friday. I'll vote this week.

23
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:46.640
That was something special for our listeners, hopefully this week before primaries.

24
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:52.760
Happened before the polls closed for primaries. So stay tuned for that. Okay,

25
00:01:52.879 --> 00:02:22.319
right now, JJ to the Sport
Report. Okay, Sport Report,

26
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.560
All right, thank you groups.
Have you guys seen the picture of Alex

27
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.000
Treverguez. I'll have the latest one. Yes, the thing that's really took

28
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:38.120
the internet by storm over the weekend, in which there was actually one picture

29
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.560
where he was sitting next to I
think he was sitting next to was it

30
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:49.000
Spike Lee or someone? I wish
I remembered the place he was sitting next

31
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.400
to? A black guy. Let's
put it that way and that so the

32
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.120
post online they were making fun that
was sitting next to an incredibly white woman

33
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.719
dressed in all white. Yeah.
Yeah, the blonde chick and he's wearing

34
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.599
a white girl and there's like like, oh my god, everyone's darker than

35
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.919
Steven A. Smith. Now was
like what the post was online is going

36
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:15.560
around. So Aeron, who's now
weirdly like co owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves

37
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.759
as like at all their games front
row and doing interviews during tea Wolves games

38
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.639
of like how they can improve the
team. I'm like, okay, I

39
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.319
didn't know he was like I had
it like that. I knew he had

40
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.360
a stake in it, but it
seems like he's kind of highly involved.

41
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:36.080
Well he is getting you know,
taking it in the shorts all weekend because

42
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.039
of how dark he looks. And
he did the thing where he goes online

43
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.840
boy and he tells he says,
here's what happened. J here we go,

44
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.840
crack it up, all right,
everybody. I know that I'm dark,

45
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.479
but I am Dominican and I went
on vacation and I fell asleep in

46
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:04.360
the sun. So everybody calm downloo
mihinte, Yeah, that means calm down

47
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:13.039
apparently. Okay, first of all, the serial killer laugh maybe this in

48
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.959
the sen so uh, we blasted
that crime in the last segment where I

49
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.439
told you those people were telling the
truth. Yep, he's lying. Oh

50
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.800
but what's he doing. I mean
he had some tanning or spray tanning or

51
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.839
whatever. It's perfect around his entire
head and ears and neck. The color

52
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.680
is consistent. If you fell asleep
in the sun, you'd only fall asleep

53
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.680
one direction. True, we'd have
a blending in the neck area towards the

54
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.160
back of the head. It's perfect
everywhere. Well let the reverse Sami sosas

55
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.600
some people were calling it. Yeah
like that. I don't know. But

56
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.639
a Rod's such a vain dude.
He might have He might be telling the

57
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.319
truth. I'm telling you, like
we get in the sun the eighteen years

58
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.199
I played softball. Yeah, yeah, this was not my color, but

59
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.680
perfect around your head everywhere. But
I'm thinking maybe he went and just went

60
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.079
on ahead and tan like the rest
of it. He probably was spotted like

61
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.720
okay, yeah, and just went
on ahead. It was just like,

62
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.240
let me not look stupid, you
know, I'm let me even know.

63
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.519
It's kind of weird. It looks
shockingly dark, like I thought. I

64
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.759
actually saw his apology that what you
just played first before I saw the pictures,

65
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.519
and I'm like, oh, yeah, I believe calm down, everyone

66
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.439
apologies just like he's like, I'm
Dominican, I was in the sun.

67
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.519
I got darker, like it happens. But then I saw the photos.

68
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:38.639
It just is really weird. It
looks sprayed on, is what it looks

69
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.480
like. This video of is his
house. It's like real dark in his

70
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.560
house. So he's make sure there's
no lighting as he's looking. I mean,

71
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.120
dude, there's nothing worse than the
fifteen second phone in your in your

72
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.680
face. I gotta clear something up
post. Those usually don't go well.

73
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.160
Those usually aren't a big thank you
to your fans. Yeah, they're always

74
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.000
a little different. Oh he's laughing
about it, and that's fine, like

75
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.120
good, but something else was afoot
there. Yeah, I agree, it

76
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:12.480
is shocking. I don't know what
it was. Something they of the tea

77
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.600
walls. By the way, him
and his partner, are you serious?

78
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.600
Yeah, they got up in there. It's still wild to me that he

79
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:23.120
was here for like three years and
we were terrible. So he gave him

80
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.360
two hundred and fifty million dollars two
hundred and fifty two million dollars and and

81
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.319
paid him forever while he was gone, and he was great. Yeah,

82
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.800
and we had nothing around him.
We were hoping that basic would get guys

83
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:42.279
out. I think, yeah,
bad plan. So uh, one more

84
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.519
clip from SNL that I want to
put for you, guys. They did

85

a you know, all these gambling
commercials are happening, Draftkicks, Fan Duel,

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.240
They're everywhere everywhere. Well, this

87
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:58.759
comedian. This is Keenan Thompson,
and it's Marcelo Fernandez and who's kind of

88
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.160
the new Pete Late. He's in
all the skits. Ladies are lusting after.

89
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:09.360
Marcello Hernandez, the short King,
apparently very popular. He's pretty funny.

90
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.240
This is for rock Bottom Kings.

be. Will he take out a
life insurance policy on his own mother?

99
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.920
Will he set up a fake goat
fume that says he has leukemia? And

100
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.920
what will he sell first? Is
PS five or his kidney? And you

101
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:56.800
can build a parlay about everything that
could happen to him. Divorce, Mary's

It is weird how every other commercial, Yeah, especially during sports. Yeah,

113
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.799
I edited it out, but just
because there's more of a visual.

114
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.600
But they're talking about it's why all
our commercials have fireworks and explosions in the

115
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.960
background, and it shows like you
just have to bet GM and the Caesars

116
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:07.879
commercials, huge celebrity cameos and fireworks
every time. Goal. Lot of gold,

117
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.720
lots of gold. I had a
good week on DraftKings Mikey Mexico Open.

118
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.919
Yeah. Oh yeah, we were
sweating it too. We can could

119
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.679
have been more. Yeah, what'd
you do? One hundred and fifty?

120
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:24.519
Okay, yeah, yeah, we're
sweating. We're sweating five hundred bucks.

121
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.360
Yeah, you sweat that. I
went into big sweats like Mike's been in

122
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.919
before. Yeah, but I just
shot at two hundred grand a couple of

123
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.159
weeks ago. Oh that's right,
just slipped through your fingers, finished sixty

124
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.279
first out of forty seven thousand.
You made like, what a thousand bucks?

125
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.440
But that it's such a rarity Okay, look, gambling's fun, but

126
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.759
god it's bad. And I wonder
how the the line is right now.

127
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.519
And that's a funny bit you just
played. But especially young people, you

128
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.679
know, who think they're geniuses just
pumping money into these things. We had

129
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.759
a conversation, Mike and I had
a conversation the other day with someone I'll

130
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.159
say who it is, but they're
talking about their kids and their kids' friends

131
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.600
like have these games. It's not
betting on sports, but that he's like

132
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.080
apps where you are making prop bets
on things that will happen in these games.

133
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.080
And I guess they're getting like I
guess they're getting like coins out of

134
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.600
it. Here. Let me I
don't know the name of it, but

135
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.840
yes, I have a friend who's
kids. We were at the MAVs game.

136
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.320
Let me see if there's a name, it doesn't really matter. And

137
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.120
he's like, he's he's the kids
like playing on an app. The kid's

138
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:43.279
ten years old and the kids got
a parlay going on games on like the

139
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.200
maps in the under or Luca Points
in the over or whatever, and it's

140
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.159
four kids. It's I that's no. I asked them. I'm like,

141
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.120
let me see this app. Because
I was curious if it was marketed toward

142
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.159
kids, and I think it kind
of is. A ten year old shouldn't

143
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.840
know what parlay, what the word
parlay means, unless he's watching Pirates of

144
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.360
the Caribbean, you know, like
he shouldn't know. Oh, it gives

145
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.759
you three times the coins if you
get them both. I mean, it's

146
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:13.200
just one hundred percent grooming kids,
So understand what I mean. It was

147
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.200
gambling, but it's free, so
you don't put money in it, but

148
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.879
you unlock coins. Yeah, and
then maybe it is the thing where you

149
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.159
go to mommy and daddy's credit card
and for one you can get ten more

150
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.120
coins to unlock this. That's what
all those games are. We have another

151
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.559
friend that his kids is addicted to
sports, loves sports, and that's finck

152
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:39.519
great. And he got on his
dad's Draft Kings and dumped out of one

153
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.519
hundred bucks or a couple hundred bucks
because he didn't he didn't know it was.

154
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.480
He thought he was entering. He
loves fantasy football. He's just entering

155
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.679
all these fantasy football things and he
spent his dad's money. Yeah, yeah,

156
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.039
within the aut because your money's just
on their Yeah, just touch it.

157
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.679
And go. It's not like that's
another thing. Imagine. Okay,

158
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.080
so the kids growing up now have
never had cash in their hands, that's

159
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.639
true. I've never bought. Nothing's
tangible. To sound so old right now,

160
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.159
I know, but like, seriously, a ten dollars bill that buys

161
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.600
you your coke and candy bar that
you wanted. You know, you get

162
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.200
the change back, you hold it, you understand it. I know I

163
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.200
have this much left wheneverthing is just
zip. You can't know. If you're

164
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.759
nine, you cannot get that.
It is weird. Won't compute even your

165
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.559
paycheck as an adult. You know, it goes in automatically. You never

166
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.039
see any of it. It's all
just just buttons. Well, I'll tell

167
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.200
you what. When you would get
your paycheck and at least take it to

168
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.080
the bank, deposit it or put
it in at least you would steal your

169
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.799
thinking about it a little more.
Yeah, ye, here's a five second

170
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.720
thing. And do you ever verify
like what your paychecks are, because ours,

171
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.159
I'll be honest, they fluctuate with
you know, live spots that you

172
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.559
do. But I never go back
and like, I just trust that it's

173
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:03.159
all done properly. I check probably
every month or two, just just to

174
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.200
look. You know, boy,
I'm like the dream for this because I

175
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.759
don't check any I don't check my
credit cards. I pay them on time.

176
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.440
But it's like if the income is
right or what's it could all be

177
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.120
screwed up and I wouldn't know it. Do you ever check receipts when you

178
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.000
go to like Target or Walmart or
whatever, you get like a big you

179
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.720
know, you got the big basket
and it's two hundred and fifty bucks,

180
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.279
and make sure what what do you
mean like check that they wrung up everything

181
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.519
properly. Yeah, just make sure
you didn't get double charge or anything like

182
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.039
that. Never, you probably just
declined the receipt, don't you Yes,

183
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.120
meet a receipt. Nope, No, you probably don't shut up? Trust

184
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.200
all right, it's a lot of
trust. You're right, But do you

185
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.919
do you think I'm more abnormal or
someone that checks? So you say you

186
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.039
es moscially, well, don't check. You check the receipt And I mean

187
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.600
I'm not making but sometimes at all, if it's like, look, you

188
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.720
know, when I check it is
if something feels off because I think we

189
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.519
were we've shopped enough, you know, as old as we are we've shopped

190
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.679
enough, you kind of know,
probably subconsciously, what your tally is.

191
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.919
You know of you know how much
it is when you take it off the

192
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.360
aisle, and it's not like you're
calculating it in real time, but you

193
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.480
kind of have an idea of what
it's probably going to be because those numbers

194
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.919
can kind of just work together subconsciously
that you know, and if something seems

195
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.200
a little out of the norm,
then you'll be like, you know,

196
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.720
hang on a second, hang on
a second, really, and I'll take

197
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.480
a look just to make sure.
Usually is one I'm already at the car,

198
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.279
but yeah, well a scoreboard.
But I think most of the time

199
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.759
it's they get it right, you
know, ninety percent of the time,

200
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.799
maybe more, probably higher than that. I always support I want gambling.

201
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.799
I want casinos to be legalized here
because I think it'd be cool to have

202
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.519
a giant casino and the MAVs stadium
at it. So I will vote and

203
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.960
support in that direction if given the
opportunity, But I'm not positive it's the

204
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.840
best idea. Well, I think
it for society, like for me personally,

205
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.759
like I'm cool, I think I
despite what do you guys sometimes think?

206
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.120
I think I know my limits,
and uh, I want to have

207
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.600
the opportunity to do something fun if
that's what I want to do, or

208
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.440
gamble on my phone. I like
doing it. I feel like I limited

209
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.360
pretty fairly responsibly. But if they
took it away, you'd be fine,

210
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.759
right? Or would you? Would
you kind of Jones a little bit?

211
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.120
I probably probably Jones once like masters
come up, do you feel like,

212
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.000
honestly, and I'm being very serious, do you do you feel like it's

213
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.000
kind of a slight addiction? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah it is?

214
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.799
What about you, Kevin? I
think it's a hobby. I think

215
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.000
I like doing it. Okay,
that's one thing. But if it went

216
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.840
away, would you feel like it
is like a psychological addiction? Is it

217
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.399
just muscle memory? Uh? Just
a pattern, a habit? Or is

218
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.759
it like a Do you think it's
like a true addiction to where you're you?

219
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:50.720
You would you would physically feel anxiety
if it weren't no physical anxiety.

220
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.080
But I mean, just like you
said watching the Daytona five hundred with a

221
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.360
little something on it, and ours
was just a f and Bill Elliott painting,

222
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.600
and you know, you gave you
something that had so most MAVs games.

223
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.799
I'll watch them because I like the
MAVs, but I'll bet some Luca

224
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.440
over Unders and Kyrie and some fively
is going to serial score eight tonight,

225
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.840
Like I put a little bit on
and it's something fun within the game that

226
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.639
because it's strategy out much better if
that was completely off the table and illegal

227
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.600
or not an option, Yeah,
that would that would leave a hole.

228
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.759
I think. Can I say something
about that that daytona five hundred thing,

229
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:29.639
because yes, I watched it with
a different perspective because we did have,

230
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.679
you know, albeit not like a
huge nothing huge at stake. It made

231
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.039
it a lot more interesting. It
made it a lot more fun to kind

232
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.440
of keep track and stick with it. But I'll tell you what, aside

233
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.440
from that, it got me kind
of interested in the sport to where yesterday

234
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.240
there I think there was a race
yesterday Atlanta. Yeah, and I wasn't

235
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:52.879
able to watch it because number one, I was I knew I was going

236
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.840
to watch the MAVs because I feared
that would be we talk about that a

237
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.320
little bit today and I had malcolmys
so it just wasn't you know, in

238
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.559
the cards for me to watch it. But I found myself intrigued just to

239
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:10.240
flat out watch the race because I
had a really good time watching the Daytona

240
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.200
last weekend. That was freaking fun. Whether I had anybody in it or

241
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.240
not, that was the drama of
that and kind of understanding it a little

242
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.440
bit better and it made more sense
to me I could, I could kind

243
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.799
of see the field. I would
be clearer, way more likely to watch

244
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.119
some of that race if it were
tonight rather than yesterday afternoon. That's true.

245
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.599
Yeah, yeah, And then the
four o'clock MAVs game never happens.

246
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.200
But I was kind of watching what
was happening at the end of the golf

247
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.319
tournament, and I was kind of
getting outdoors a little bit and just kind

248
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.240
of doing some things outside as well, So kind of like, yeah,

249
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.640
then Nascar, I even think once
about Nascar. I'll tell you what that

250
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.160
will The Daytona will not be the
only race that I watched this year.

251
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.000
Oh yeah, yeah. Someone texting
NBA two K the video game you can

252
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.759
gamble on games to gain in game
currency. Hell yeah. Yeah. So

253
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.839
within you know, you're playing on
your place and you can bet on an

254
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.680
NBA game that night, and if
you win, you get coins to unlock

255
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:10.279
a retro jersey for whatever team you
have as your favorite team. They are

256
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.599
grooming kids to gamble. Well,
you said it, you said it,

257
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.400
yeah, just a few minutes ago. And I don't think it's any different

258
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.240
than the advertising campaigns that used to, you know, subliminally target to children

259
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.519
for cigarettes back in the days.
Well, Mike said something earlier like he

260
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.559
said, yeah, it's not going
to be like, I don't know,

261
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.079
you said, I don't know if
it's completely good, right, right,

262
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:33.440
I don't know. Well, I
think about it the exact same way I

263
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.759
think about drinking. For a lot
of people, drinking is not good,

264
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.000
but they're allowed to do it.
And that's why I think it's dumb that

265
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:47.000
gambling is illegal here. Gambling should
be legal and there will be stories of

266
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.279
people who lose everything because they did
not do it responsibly. But is gamble

267
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:59.440
responsibly. It's drink responsibly. To
me, that is and it sucks,

268
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.319
but it's not. But we would
outlaw all these things then, like,

269
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.119
dude, they're gonna be more people
killed because of drinking. Then there are

270
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:15.359
gambling. I'm acting like free on
that right, yeah, actual debts.

271
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.000
Yeah, So I mean, to
me, if you're allowed to drink,

272
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.000
and or drinking is are allowed to
be promoted, then yeah, gambling should

273
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:27.240
be legal. Well, that is
the thing that's so hypocritical about all of

274
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:36.799
it. Alcohol arguably is the worst
thing you can do as far as getting

275
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.079
wrapped up in something, something that
is physically it has no positive effects.

276
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.920
It's literal poison that we put into
our bodies. But it sure is fun,

277
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:48.759
Sure is fun. Sure is fun, and it's okay. And some

278
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.640
people can't handle it. I mean
there was a time where you couldn't advertise

279
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.440
hard liquor on television, and that's
you see as many hard liquor adds as

280
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:02.799
I do beer. Alcohol just gets
a repass. Well, and again it's

281
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.880
like can we can most people handle
it? Yes, there's just always gonna

282
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.240
be the stories people can't. The
gambling thing is like, that's gonna be

283
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.400
pushing there already doing that, Like
the NFL Network's running commercials like Steve mary

284
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.720
Ucci's up there in a drawing board
how to gamble responsibly if you have a

285
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.759
problem, call this number like the
going to be of course, just like

286
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.079
yes, we're being groomed for it, but it's still in some states we're

287
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.319
the minority. At this point,
the majority of states have legalized gambling.

288
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.599
We're the minority. The reason it
hasn't here, I think is politics.

289
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.319
And I'm sure it's gonna change,
but i don't know if it will change

290
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:42.000
with them five years maybe, But
it should be legal because they're already doing

291
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.279
it. It's just under the guise
of strategy on draft kings and prize picks

292
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.359
and uh fan duel and all these
other sites that you can, you know,

293
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:55.720
go get down on or you just
make the Evada account and you do

294
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.480
it that way. It's politics.
There's a reason why gambling is not legal

295
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.160
here. There's a reason that marijuana
isn't fully decriminalized here. It's because the

296
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.279
majority of our populations in this state
just don't live in big cities. This

297
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.759
is a massive state, and a
lot of people just don't. They don't

298
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.559
have their heads around. They think
there's people that still think marijuana is bad.

299
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.200
Marijuana will kill you. That's that's
the devil's leaf, you know,

300
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.640
that's the gateway drug and then gambling
the same way the small towns are running

301
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:33.240
square super Bowls. It's going on, like the amount of big money that's

302
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.960
being spent at squares for the Super
Bowl or every Cowboy game. You put

303
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.359
in a big fee and it's up
there in a field where the cow is

304
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.640
gonna do do. Yeah. I
mean think about how we we you know,

305
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:56.599
turn we canonize these you know,
the people that have pass or or

306
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.839
family history of people that were in
the bootlegging business when alcol hall was made

307
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.119
illegal. You know, the people
that were connected with bootlegging and making it

308
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:10.000
illegally and distributing it illegally, those
were heroes. You know, my daddy

309
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:15.079
was a bootlegger. Well what's the
difference between daddy being a bootlegger and you

310
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.279
know, cousin Frank being a pot
dealer that's illegal? I know, you

311
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:25.240
know, it's just there's so much
effing hypocrisy when it comes to setting all

312
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:29.200
of these these standards of being a
conservative state that we live in. But

313
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.559
alcohol is just fine. Yeah,
it's fine. And bootlegging is what led

314
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.559
to NASCAR really yeah yeah, running
He's right, running booze and that's how

315
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.799
you bring something full circle. Daniel
Swarez victorious yesterday in Atlanta. Apparently a
