WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.639
This is the down Beam ninety seven
one the Freak all right, thank you

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.640
j J tam to whipping everybody with
some fish today. Well, what's not

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.400
to like here? I don't understand. It's a mellow, smooth groove bro

4
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:26.600
all like that. I'm gonna run
with me across the I mean, it's

5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.920
because it's all like puff the Magic
Dragon. Like if this came out in

6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.920
nineteen seventy four, yes, legend, it would be a legendary AM Gold

7
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:41.159
radio hit. But people just this
would be right up there with like anything

8
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.880
by Cat Stevens or Gordon lightfoot right
or Crosby Stills in Nash. But because

9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.039
they're connected to the jam band scene, you say jam band, if that

10
00:00:55.119 --> 00:01:00.439
label gets tagged to you, there
is a big part of society that just

11
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:07.439
dismisses it. One yeah, I
mean, and they get in aligned unnecessary.

12
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.000
I do it more as a joke. I don't but you don't like

13
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.200
or listen there. I've never really
listened to them, but everything that I've

14
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.439
heard, for the most part,
you know, the studio recordings are I

15
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.920
don't hate this, this is cool. Yeah, it's very very nice.

16
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.480
My morning jacket somehow gets labeled a
little bit or gets kind of thrown onto

17
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.879
that that that I don't know,
imaginary heap, and they're kind of known

18
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:42.239
for not necessarily having the most kick
ass albums, but if you go see

19
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.079
them, that's what it's all about. I think Fish, I think a

20
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.560
lot of the bands, Dave Matthews
maybe that way. Dave Matthews has had

21
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.280
substantial success with radio and album sales, but most people are like, yeah,

22
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.920
my Morning Jackets albums, they're fine, but you got to see them

23
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.000
live. I heard that a million
times, and I'd listen to their albums.

24
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.760
I'm like, yeah, some of
this is pretty good. But I

25
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.280
did it. I bit the bullet
and I went and saw him live,

26
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.719
and they are, in fact,
one of the best live acts I've ever

27
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.599
seen in my life. I was
blown away at what a great concert that

28
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.360
was, and I didn't know ninety
five percent of the songs they played.

29
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.039
Yeah, I have a little tension
in my head because Christine is making a

30
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.479
first trip to Vegas. You know
there's going to be I don't know,

31
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.800
stress, you know, but you
know, pe'l be amped up. But

32
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.360
it's also her first Fish show,
and I hope she doesn't hate it,

33
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.960
you know, you won't. I
don't think there's a possibility that she won't.

34
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.360
And I'm telling you if I went, if I were going on this

35
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.599
trip and not knowing, I can't
name one name of their songs. If

36
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.039
you, I can't sing a hook. I know nothing about this band and

37
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.000
their history of recorded music. Nothing. If I went and saw this show,

38
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.319
I guarantee you I walk out of
it being absolutely blown away. Yeah,

39
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.800
by the live experience of seeing them. And that's what the allure is

40
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.479
for their legions of fans that have
seen them forty and fifty times. And

41
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:15.879
that's why you have middle aged balding
guys and Travis Matthews hoodies that are just

42
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.080
lined up to hand over their thousand
dollars to get in here because they love

43
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:25.039
that experience. Yeah. I can't
imagine she's going to walk into the sphere

44
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.039
too. That's like the trump card, you know, like, no matter

45
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.319
who's playing, that's going to be
a sensory overload experience. But then I

46
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.840
know when you couple it with what
Fish is gonna do, it's gonna be

47
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.400
so next level. We have a
caller that says they might be able to

48
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.000
help me. They have some sphere
advice. Yeah, hello caller, Hey

49
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.240
guys, good morning. It's how
are y'all? Hi? Ose? What's

50
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.840
going on? Not a lot?
Hey? So I went to see you

51
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.960
too at the Sphere. Yeah,
and have a little tip for you,

52
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.960
man. Do you know where your
seats are? Uh? Yeah, I'm

53
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.280
in general admission in the pit for
tomorrow, so I know I'm good on

54
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.439
the overhang. Is that what we're
talking about. Yeah, that that's one

55
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.879
of it. So are you going
to vote shows? And are you not

56
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.919
sitting on the in the pit on
the next one? Uh no, Saturday

57
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.919
night, we have regular good seats. I just know they're not under the

58
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.519
overhang. That's all we made sure
of. And we got a few different

59
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.279
tickets, so I know we're good
somewhere, maybe a little off to the

60
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.639
side on Saturday night because I know
the pit tickets are a little more pricey.

61
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.519
So that was gonna be my tip
because when I went to see U

62
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.600
two, I got the general admission
and you know, and it was cool

63
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.480
or whatever. But then when I
was at the Sphere, I went to

64
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.680
sit geek and then I bought floor
tickets for about fifty bucks. Oh wow,

65
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.000
really, And that was like two
I mean I was almost touching the

66
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.000
bone over there, so it was
pretty bad. Buddy, did your uh,

67
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.079
I mean it's not a concern,
but did your neck hurt? Because

68
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.600
GA is up there pretty close?
So you're gonna be full looking straight up

69
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.439
a good amount, are you?
And no, it's not too bad at

70
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.399
all. No, it's it's uh
and you're a total guy too, So

71
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:11.120
it's like the stage is about,
you know, to your neck maybe mm

72
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.480
hm, so yeah, all right, lead the one that YouTube played in

73
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.639
it was like it it went up
to my neck. So how big or

74
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.519
small is the GA pit? Because
again we have I have Christina and Mary,

75
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.759
and Mary's been to Fish shows with
cash and she kind of hates it,

76
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.800
but she hates she's a gamer,
she's a gamer, but she hates

77
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.600
being in like the packed pit with
crazy fish fans touching and all over,

78
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.480
you know. I mean, so
I want to stand toward the back of

79
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.800
the pit where it loosens up a
little bit, but we still have a

80
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.480
good view. How big is the
the GA pit? I will say probably

81
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.759
the side of a football field maybe. Okay, that's big? All right?

82
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.480
Goods, So it should loosen up
toward the bag, Yeah it should.

83
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.680
Yeah, it was it backwards.
They're selling beer and stuff. It's

84
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.560
I mean, I was like right
up to the front and not gonna even

85
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.439
move. But yeah, you might
want to stay stay back a little.

86
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.000
What's this accident you got working?
Bro? Oh? This one's a regular

87
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.639
one. This this is the one
that lived with, is the one you

88
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.639
live with? This is not messy
or okay yeah no, no, this

89
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.600
one is the standard. This one
is stuck. Not Seppi, the Italian

90
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:21.480
version that okay, yeah right right
right? Oh you know that could that

91
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:28.959
could explain why Massy sometimes sounds Italian
sometimes Argentinian, because he lives in the

92
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.160
what do you call that a sound
point, the surround sound whatever, like

93
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.000
the bear has. Yeah you're doing. Yeah, that's the most of the

94
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.439
left, A little bit of he
sounds like messy and then Seppi sometimes all

95
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.959
right, hose the other man that
you're one of our favorites. All right,

96
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.240
cool? Guys, see you stay
hard? Oh are you still there?

97
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.240
Yeah? I'm still here with that? What I am so happy about

98
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.519
something? You know, I'm a
Lobbankta Dork. It's like my favorite taco

99
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:04.040
place in town. They opened up, they didn't but a taco establishment opened

100
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.959
up in a gas station that I
can walk to in my neighborhood. Yeah,

101
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.120
and they're kind of a chain.
It's tax Goo. Oh dude,

102
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.399
I have Taxico maybe once a week. Yeah, my girlfriend will good lunch.

103
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.360
Yeah, dude, man, I've
been to a couple of them before

104
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.279
that are away from where I live, and I was like, yeah,

105
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.279
they're fine, but didn't hold the
candle. I felt like to Lobanketta.

106
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.759
But this new one that's on Ferguson
and Highland kind of it's in a mobile

107
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.800
station. I drove by and it
said now serving Taxco Tacos and I said,

108
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:45.439
I know what Dingu's having for dinner
tonight. I was floored at how

109
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.439
good it was as a twenty four
hours too, because the one I got

110
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.600
yea when we go through is twenty
four hours. Yeah, it's twenty four

111
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.839
yeah, twenty four hours. I
went at like six o'clock. It was

112
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.120
amazing. It was. It was
raining yesterday and the day before yesterday I

113
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.519
went. I made my monthly trip
to Taco's l C. I hell yeah,

114
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.879
because I go when it's raining,
so there's not a giant line,

115
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.240
you know, And apparently they don't
do barbacoa. It like ten forty five

116
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.480
in the morning. It's not ready
yet, yes, closely. Yeah,

117
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.240
I mean if it's raining, that
means that we're not we're not working right,

118
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.000
or not working they're working slower,
all right, hos that thanks Tommy

119
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.600
later Homie tax whoa boy, it
was good all right. I'd made the

120
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:33.120
mistake of eating the complimentary Serrano pepper
that came with it and had to down

121
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.360
about a half a gallon of oat
milk. Really, yes, just car

122
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.559
Oh my god, I felt like
Conan. You know, here's my gringo

123
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.759
taco thought of the day. I've
all these places in Oak Cliffs that I

124
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.200
go to. I bounce around so
many of them, and some of them

125
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:54.799
give you three different sauces. Yep. But they start at terror level.

126
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.879
Huh, Like is it the pink
one, the habaro? Yes, is

127
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.559
the green and then and then red
red? Yeah, you get the rojo,

128
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.720
the verde and then the habbin area. None of them even approach medium

129
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.360
like they're mildless. One is hot
as ball. That's the beauty of those

130
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:18.679
days. Crank it all the way
up to death to the gringo gring But

131
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.120
the thing is that that I had
to do because I walked up and they

132
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.279
were unpacked. It's brand new,
so you know what they might have been

133
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.919
on their best behavior. You know, when you want to put your best

134
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.639
foot forward when you're opening a new
spot. So everything was perfect. It

135
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.399
was fresh and delicious. It was
two folks working and they were communicating with

136
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.600
one another, and one of the
guys looked pretty American eyes. So I

137
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:45.200
was like, uh, the Espanol
or in glass and he goes Espanol and

138
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.320
I'm like, oh man, So
I had to place my order in Espanol,

139
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.320
and then I apologized at the end
of it for my malo Espanol.

140
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.120
He laughed and said, no,
it's good, it's good, it's good.

141
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.039
I mean, that's a taco shop. It's you don't need to be

142
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.080
fluent in all language is to get
the transaction down there. Sure, sure,

143
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.360
I mean they understand English when it
comes to the different taco's your order.

144
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.200
And I had specific wants and needs. I wanted to make sure that

145
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:16.159
I had one extra of the salsa
ver dae. I always want a little

146
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.200
extra of the green sauce. I
usually give them Miguel as my name,

147
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.840
as my nod to them, and
I needed it. Total about everything that's

148
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:33.679
with Cilantro gold Cilantro is that onion
I got no onion. Yeah, it

149
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:46.919
was so good. I'll see the
scuttle butt. No kevo Today someone says

150
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.639
the red one is actually the least
hot. It is. The green one

151
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.600
will kick your bone like the green
ones, because a nice tomatillo I love.

152
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.360
I don't know how they get the
green one that hot. Now the

153
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.039
green one, there's a tomatillo green. But the ones that I find to

154
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.840
be the most authentic, it's like
a creamy avocado. I actually like that.

155
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.360
Yeah, and it is hot as
balls. You can put so little.

156
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.639
I put so little, and that
does add a lot. And the

157
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.200
red is the more of like a
chili based red chili salsa, so generally

158
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.360
speak rid the Mexican takoia, the
red would be the mildest. I believe.

159
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.399
So multiple options they give the ones
that I've been to, and trust

160
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.519
me, it's been my mission to
find the taco as good as Lobbyan Ketta

161
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.759
and I until yesterday, woof,
I've had no luck. Dam Taxco was

162
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.919
great. The new location on Ferguson
and Island, get it. Love tacos.

163
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.399
I could eat them everywhere, so
many boy they go nice with my

164
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.279
air fryer on the reheat. The
reheat for sure, I love them.

165
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.840
We were going to do this as
Sports of seven, but let's jam it

166
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.360
in here. This dude banned for
life by the NBA. You saw the

167
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.320
story first time? Really? Oh
really? Yep? So this, I

168
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.919
mean, this is pretty damn wild. An active player banned for life by

169
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.240
the National Basketball Association. He's a
Toronto Raptor, John Tae porter. Me

170
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:15.759
guess, let me guess why.
Okay, gambling, Yes, okay,

171
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.519
theme of the day. Yeah,
but it's sort of a can of worms

172
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.440
that I think we should talk about. And if this is I mean,

173
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.440
this is obviously not the first betting
scandal in sport. I mean that's been

174
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.399
going on for most of our lifetimes. Hell longer than our lifetimes with the

175
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.360
Black Sox scandal, you know.
I mean, this is maybe a story

176
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.960
as old as time, but I
feel like it's just gonna keep getting worse.

177
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.879
I mean, hell, it was
a month ago. The Shoheo Tani

178
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.679
thing, which is the most famous
baseball player on the planet, has been

179
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.159
embroiled in this sort of thing.
But this is an active player that was

180
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:03.240
I've sort of proven to throw throw
stats, if not throw games. And

181
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.639
it all ties into the daily fantasy
sports betting applications, which are now legal

182
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:15.039
in most states in the palm of
our hands in most states. And it's

183
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.360
not just betting the line. As
we said, We're gonna bet the Mavericks

184
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.000
minus one, add the Clippers.
I'm gonna do it legally. I'm going

185
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:26.960
to Las Vegas, but I could
legally here bet John Tay Porter to have

186
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.200
over two and a half points in
this game, to have over four and

187
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:37.720
a half rebounds, to have under
points, rebounds and assists combined under eleven

188
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.240
and a half. It all depends
on what their season averages are. You

189
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.200
can bet almost any player what they're
gonna do that night, and you have

190
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:52.320
just multiplied your opportunity for, you
know, to impact it with your decision

191
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.399
making on the court. Right,
And this dude was straight up busted for

192
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.399
doing that. How did they find
out? And how long have this instigation

193
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:07.240
been going on? I'll read a
chunk of this. The league investigation revealed

194
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.240
Porter had placed at least thirteen bets
on NBA games using an associate's online betting

195
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:18.159
account. The bets ranged from fifteen
dollars to twenty two thousand dollars totaling fifty

196
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.919
four grand according to the league.
The NBA said the total payout from those

197
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.519
bets was seventy six thousand dollars,
with a net winning of just under twenty

198
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:35.000
two thousand dollars. That's one of
the angles because he didn't bet on games

199
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.399
that he played in in that particular
case, and he was parlaying things and

200
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.559
they did include a bet that they
had the Raptors to lose, and all

201
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.720
three bets lost, So in that
portion of this case, that's not him

202
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.080
tanking personally, although there is a
story about him telling people and there was

203
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.240
an abnormal number of bets on John
Tay Porter. What are we doing?

204
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.519
The guy averages three point eight points
per game, and apparently these were popping

205
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.240
up on the daily fantasy sites and
it's it's so easily traceable. They're like,

206
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.720
why why is our most bet NBA
player Jontay Porter. That's a big

207
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.480
red flag. And then he played
in some games and left feeling ill stomach

208
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.519
issue to ensure that his numbers would
come in on the under. And it

209
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.080
just seems so easy to do.
You wonder if you wanted to do it.

210
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.600
You wonder if there's some type of
I don't know, software developed to

211
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.039
flag an abnormal betting trends, or
if it's somebody just you know, at

212
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:45.879
a computer going hmmm, you mean
noticing that? Notice what flags these?

213
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.279
It's got to be some type of
software this, yes, that, yeah,

214
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.440
I mean, hell on, I
mean I use prize picks, I

215
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.840
play price picks, and I do
bet individual performances in game. By the

216
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.559
way, they can't keep up with
Luka daunts. His number will be like

217
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.440
fifty five, five and a half
points, rebounds and assists at it together

218
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.039
and he blows out the over almost
always. They're like, we don't know

219
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.919
how high to make it. We
can't make it high enough. Let me

220
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.480
read you this. This is what
I kind of what I just said.

221
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.200
Sportsbooks reported a spike and betting interest
on the under on several of Porter statistics.

222
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.720
Ahead of a January twenty six game
against the Clippers. Porter played just

223
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.480
four minutes before leaving the game with
issues related to an eye injury suffered earlier

224
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.919
in the week against a Grizzly.
He finished the game with no points,

225
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.600
three rebounds, and one assist,
all under the line Sportsbook had set for

226
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:33.799
his statistics, So you don't have
to go and tank the game. You

227
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.559
just have to either leave the game, play poorly, yeah, not hit

228
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.919
the overs that you know are set. Do you have to actually be put

229
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.679
in the game for that to apply? I know Price Picks uses something called

230
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.679
a reboot. Yeah, so if
a player is injured, like one minute

231
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.600
into the game, they will kind
of reboot their stats and essentially, if

232
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.960
you have like a five player parlay, they'll just make it a four player

233
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:03.519
parlay and just eliminate that play or
from from the betting for that that parlay.

234
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:06.880
But I don't you know, I
don't think they rebooted that because he

235
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.160
played some I mean he had three
rebounds. I bet his over under was

236
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.200
three or four rebounds, so he
did hit the under on those. Yeah.

237
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.880
His average is three point seven points, two point six rebounds, one

238
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:22.240
point six sists, so you know
his unders came in for that. Okay,

239
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.079
so did did he Did he fess
up to this? I don't think

240
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.759
so, but I think it was
so obvious. Well, they found the

241
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.079
paper trail that connected him to the
actual bets being placed. I think that

242
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.400
led them to those actual bets.
With a with a sports book that he

243
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.960
was involved with. I mean,
for an NBA player, that seems like

244
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:48.240
a pretty paltry sum to justify,
you know, doing going to going to

245
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.519
those links to to do something so
shady. I agree. Twenty two.

246
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.839
I will say he is Johntay Porter
is Michael Porter Junior's brother, and Michael

247
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.839
Porter Junior is a very good player
for the Nuggets. Not implicating him in

248
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:07.200
any way, but I looked up
his career earnings. Jontay Porter was undrafted,

249
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.240
he played a couple of years for
the Grizzlies, and he was currently

250
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.440
with the the Raptors. Two point
three million dollar career earnings. I mean,

251
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:22.480
this is a kind of a journeyman
who was making his way, and

252
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.480
two point three million dollars, Yes, to me, sounds like enough to

253
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.440
live on for the rest of my
life. It's not. It's not,

254
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.880
especially when you cut that in half
due to tax as an agent. Yep.

255
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.640
Yeah, a million dollars twenty and
you're twenty two, twenty three years

256
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:40.400
old. You have to live really
cheaply. Yeah, I'm very modest,

257
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.519
I'll put it that way. Right, If you plan on never working again

258
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.839
and living off of a million dollars. A million dollars ain't what it was

259
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.240
hell twenty five years ago. I
agree, it's just not. Doesn't that

260
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.960
also mean that twenty five grand I
can make a little bonus tonight. I

261
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.039
guess that does make sense then.
And there's more Johntay Porter's on that salary

262
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.079
front than there are, you know, Luka Dantrich's true, you know,

263
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.160
I mean, Luka Doncris doesn't need
to take a game and make twenty grand,

264
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:14.119
and he wouldn't do it and probably
would report it if I would,

265
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.319
hope, I don't know, but
there's a lot of dudes like that with

266
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.400
very minuscule over under set and it's
like, you know, I can hit

267
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.359
you these under tonight in a game
in late January against the Clippers, and

268
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:29.880
it is ridiculous. Yeah, it's
insanely ridiculous to bet on yourself, bet

269
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.279
on the sport at all, especially
your own team, and even more insane

270
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:40.559
as yourself. But you know,
look, it's so normalized right now in

271
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:44.559
professional sports, which it was so
taboo for so long. Yeah, and

272
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.079
now you've got I don't know if
you have arenas with the title sponsors that

273
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:53.359
are Draft Kings or Wild bets or
whatever's out there. But I mean,

274
00:19:53.400 --> 00:20:00.400
I see graphics sponsored by them.
I see this segment's brought to you by

275
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.359
name fill in the blank of some
gambling outfit when they were I told you

276
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:10.039
when they were breaking the news of
Otani's interpreter and there was like a press

277
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.400
conference going on. The ticker on
the bottom was brought to you by Fan

278
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:18.559
Duel. It's just mismixed signals.
And just like almost everything in our society,

279
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.640
the technology is moving faster than we
really understand how humanity can handle it.

280
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.079
I mean, it feels like a
blink of an eye that I can

281
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.640
bet on my phone legally right now
in Texas on a lot of this stuff.

282
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.640
Not legally bet the MAVs minus won
this Sunday, but I can absolutely

283
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.759
bet Corey Seeger is going to have
you two and a half total bases and

284
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.720
Jack Lighter is going to have more
than four and a half strikeouts. I

285
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.680
don't know what the over under is. I can absolutely do. And then

286
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:51.240
we're at the point where you can
bet in some places essentially play by play.

287
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.000
I mean you can bet in an
NFL the result of this drive will

288
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.799
be a field goal three and a
half points more over under three and a

289
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.960
half points, you know, and
they're inside the you're on the red zone.

290
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.640
She's like, all right, they're
gonna score a touchdown, they're gonna

291
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.839
gike a field goal. Here.
It's just so fast and you have young,

292
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.039
impressional people. Imagine if I was
in the NBA. We're friends,

293
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.559
We're not on the air. You're
you're down on your luck. Yeah,

294
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.920
and you're like, dude, if
you don't get four rebounds tonight, I

295
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.599
make ten thousand dollars. And I'm
like, man, I'm probably not even

296
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:22.759
to play tonight. I'll probably play
a few minutes. Yeah, that should

297
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.839
work under for sure. And even
if I don't promise you anything and I

298
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.799
go and play, and I'm like, damn it, I could really help.

299
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.480
I got to do the rebounds where
the fourth quarter I hurt. Remember

300
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.720
earlier in the week, right,
I probably should come out or just fumble

301
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.599
a rebound. It's not insane,
I know, to think of. You

302
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.240
know, when your buddies are involved
and they're not rich, especially if your

303
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.960
team isn't really relevant or the game
doesn't matter. It's like, who is

304
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.799
this hurting in? It's late January
and you're in the fourth quarter of a

305
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.039
game. That's the Clippers that you're
down twenty five lifetime ban. Huh,

306
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.880
lifetime ban, which is easy to
set an example or a player like that

307
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.640
too, Right, it seems like
it's always those guys are the ones that

308
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.799
get the severe punishments handed out.
Yeah, yeah, maybe you're right,

309
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:14.200
and Otania, we're sending a message. Otani was uninvolved, though the interpreter's

310
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.880
cut exactly. Yeah. Yeah,
it's a wow wile world we live in.

311
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.720
Boy, it is there you go. We're doing it right, We're

312
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.839
doing this now. Yeah, all
right. We don't have our buddy Kevin.

313
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.039
Well, we do have a bunch
of audio that you may have never

314
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.599

an idiot or being a genius. You

315
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.880
