30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,640
you guys kind of schedule things out so you're not

31
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,200
going to be super duper busy in the afternoons on

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,480
Friday afternoons.

33
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:38,239
Speaker 5: I think there's a Friday afternoon vibe for sure. I

34
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,359
think people start slowing down. No one wants to be

35
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,000
getting on calls. No one certainly doesn't want.

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,439
Speaker 2: To go to court.

37
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: But no, yeah, there's a Friday afternoon vibe.

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: You guys are injury attorneys. Like, so, I'm in the

39
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:55,359
med device industry. I've been on call for years. Right,

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,560
it always seems like like accidents, like major injuries, and

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,680
like we're like, you know, and I would like to

42
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:05,400
know like kind of like just it's anecdotally, like the

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,479
the injury rates that I feel like they skyrocket on

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,240
like Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Is that is that an

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,919
accurate depiction? And this is just my theory.

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have that statistic. What about you, Garrett,

47
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:20,520
I don't know.

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,039
Speaker 6: I think they do a little bit. I find that

49
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:26,439
Monday morning and get into the office, there's you know,

50
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,159
and there can be a bunch of voicemails or messages

51
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,360
from people wanted to talk to us about what happened

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:31,960
over the weekend.

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,319
Speaker 4: For sure, I have to look up some of that data,

54
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:36,080
but just kind of anecdotally.

55
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 7: I was just kind of thinking about that.

56
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,319
Speaker 4: Let's get into this sports Court segment brought to you

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,400
by Handy Law Utah. Handy Law Utah dot com always

58
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,639
like talking sports court with you guys. Let's start off

59
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,000
with the NFL and sports books being sued for micro

60
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,719
betting and gambling addictions.

61
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:54,599
Speaker 7: So look, this is going to continue to pop up.

62
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: I think we need to, uh, there's got to be accountability,

63
00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:00,240
I think on these fronts because there's so much much

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120
bunt money being made and so many lives being ruined.

65
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 7: Guys, give us the latest on this.

66
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I mean today we're going to talk about

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,680
a couple of stories. Draft Kings is in the crosshairs

68
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:11,280
for sure, and.

69
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: You know, I think we're seeing the future.

70
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,039
Speaker 5: A few weeks ago, we talked about a story that

71
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:18,400
was outside this but kind of related to it, where

72
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Meta Facebook had been sued by a woman who claimed

73
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,960
that she had been you know, social media, had been

74
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,639
addicted to it, addicted to it and resulted in a

75
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800
lot of mental illness and emotional challenges and.

76
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: Anxiety over time.

77
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: And that trial just came out a day or two ago,

78
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:36,479
and she actually won her trial against Meta got a

79
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:38,840
you know, a six million dollar ward that's not going

80
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,319
to hurt them, but she actually war won that. So

81
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,080
I think that's kind of an indication of what's going

82
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,840
to happen. And we thought, how's this going to go

83
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,879
into the sports world. Well, we're seeing it right now.

84
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,599
Two Pennsylvania guys are assuming Draft Kings, NFL a few

85
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:59,439
other groups claiming that their app encourages micro betting and

86
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:05,919
his holded in addictive gambling towards them. They're issues of negligence.

87
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,960
They claim, negligence designed effect, failure to warn, and unfair

88
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,560
trade practices. They have basically three assertions. You know, it

89
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:18,439
digs into this whole technology stuff, but they just talk about,

90
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,480
you know, online sports gambling platforms have allegedly turned non

91
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:26,199
addictive products into what is described as relentless, always on

92
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,959
addiction amplifying machine through personalizing timing faster sports. They claim

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,360
that the defective design of sports betting app is how

94
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,959
they facilitate and promote live in game wagers that's important

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,600
placed on virtually limitless array of events that occurred during

96
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,800
the course of sport events in time, you know. And

97
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,839
then the final thing they kind of allege is that

98
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,160
they're accused of enabling micro betting and encouraging gamblers to

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,600
become hooked on macro betting.

100
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:55,879
Speaker 2: So what is going on, Ben, This is crazy. This

101
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,480
micro betting is you know, someone's sitting on their app,

102
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,839
they're watching a game.

103
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 5: They can actually bet in time on something's going to happen.

104
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,480
Is he can dribble it off his foot, they can

105
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:06,639
bet on that, you know.

106
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,079
Speaker 2: And someone who's got the.

107
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 5: Propensity to this and they've got their credit card in

108
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:13,120
there and they're just like, oh, I'm going, I'm going,

109
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680
I'm going, you know, and these two guys are claiming,

110
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920
you know, they've lost two million dollars that they're praying

111
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:20,759
on their you know, their weaknesses.

112
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: You know, gamblers in.

113
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 5: General have kind of a you know, they want to

114
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,079
do it. But if you've got an addictive personality and

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,720
this hits on it, it's crazy.

116
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,879
Speaker 2: And then another thing they do is they.

117
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 5: Have hosts, hosts people that reach out to him at

118
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:36,480
times and say, hey, Ben, we haven't seen you betting.

119
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:39,079
Speaker 2: With us for a while. We've got some great opportunities

120
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,000
micro betting. Come on, come back. You know, that's the

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,480
wrong thing.

122
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 5: You know, you're just you know, handing someone who's you know,

123
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,199
addicted to something to go it. You know, So they

124
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,759
are really promoting this. So I think this is a

125
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,720
wave that we're going to wait and see what happens.

126
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,680
You know, it's just started. You know. I think lawyers

127
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,000
have taken this case, and they're sophisticated, very high powered,

128
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,639
good lawyers that are pursuing this. They think there's some

129
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,920
valid claims there, you know, that can be uncovered and

130
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,839
you know and kind of probably not only help these

131
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,000
two guys, but probably set set some standards for going

132
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,759
gambling going in the future.

133
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:16,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of lives being ruined up, Tony.

134
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: Look, men, you know, humans have addictive personalities sometimes, and

135
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,639
we should probably set up some standards for the weakest

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,240
among us, in my opinion.

137
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: Let's say you said, man, humans, it's men.

138
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,879
Speaker 7: Man, it's men. You know, betting it's all men.

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,639
Speaker 4: I mean, I you know, I try to be an

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,399
equal opportunist with my commentaries. You know, I don't want

141
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:43,120
to offend anybody, you know, as a guy that has

142
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,720
all sisters. It's men, all right, it's men's men. Why

143
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,600
why is it that men, you know are so I mean,

144
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,079
because are women?

145
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:55,879
Speaker 7: Are women gambling addicts? Though?

146
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: Like in general, like you know, I mean I do

147
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,600
see on the slots, I see more little ladies on

148
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000
the slots, you know, the game slots. I mean, they

149
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,519
got some weakness there though, you know, they have some issues.

150
00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 7: It's not just us.

151
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 5: Well I don't know about that, but you know, we

152
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:13,319
talked about this history on the program and Garrett point.

153
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,519
You know, when someone steps up to a window and

154
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,319
they've thought about their bet, and they're gonna put some

155
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,959
money down on a bet, and they've decided here's how

156
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,079
much I can bet, Here's what I'm betting on you know,

157
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,759
the over under who's gonna win this game.

158
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 6: That's it.

159
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,519
Speaker 2: But if you're sitting you with your phone and your

160
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:27,040
phone is.

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 7: Just yeah, buzzing you, Yeah.

162
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,639
Speaker 5: Tempting, buzzing that you tempting you, and like, oh, well

163
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,399
I didn't do that one. I didn't, you know, for

164
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:37,399
the wrong personality. Who's really doing this? And there are millions,

165
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:41,879
millions doing this. It's it's dangerous.

166
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:41,639
Speaker 2: You know.

167
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:46,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, the gamification of gambling, that's where it becomes pretty insane.

168
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:48,759
I mean you walk off that plane like in Vegas

169
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,959
and it's just like just bright lights itch. It's like

170
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,240
my son was drawn to the the the the arcade

171
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:01,040
looking gambling. You know, games that are daddy, Can I

172
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:01,360
have that?

173
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:01,759
Speaker 8: Can I go?

174
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:03,639
Speaker 7: Like, no, you will not. I had to.

175
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,399
Speaker 4: I had to put my foot down. Do not get

176
00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:07,639
near those things. Those are those are of the devil

177
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,519
of the day of the devil. Anyway, NCAA seing DraftKings

178
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,839
for infringement to blocker use of March Madness trademarks.

179
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:17,079
Speaker 7: Give me a little detail on this.

180
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:22,879
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, you know, as you know, I mean, March

181
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,000
Madness is uh, this is a this is the one

182
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:28,560
of maybe the premier event for the n C DOUAA.

183
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,079
They make a ton of money, right, and so they're

184
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,399
very protective of their brand and everything. And so some

185
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,679
of these terms March Madness is one of them, Final four,

186
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:41,480
Elite eight, Sweet sixteen. These are actually registered trademarks, right.

187
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,879
This is this is their brand and they have spent

188
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,279
you know, decades cultivating this and these even these terms,

189
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,679
I mean, have just entered our collective consciousness. You know,

190
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,320
we talk about final fours and different things like that

191
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,799
all the time. But what's happening, and this is a

192
00:08:57,799 --> 00:08:59,919
little bit of a followup what Presso was just talking about,

193
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,720
is you know, you're inundated on these sports betting apps,

194
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:06,000
and what they're doing is they're running ads saying, hey,

195
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,559
place your bets on March Madness. And at the end

196
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,559
set of late you know understandably has a problem with that,

197
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,600
They're going, hey, wait a minute, this is this is

198
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,679
going to confuse people and consumers are going to think

199
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,159
that we're endorsing this or that we're somehow connected with you,

200
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,559
and we want to make really clear that we're not.

201
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,320
And so they have they have sued Draft Kings for

202
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:31,639
trademark infringement. They want a temporary restraining order. I mean

203
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,120
games are going on right now, and so they're saying, hey,

204
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,519
we this needs to be taken down from your site

205
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,480
right now. You can't be using those terms or anything

206
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,200
like that because you know, we're we're we're going to

207
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,919
stay far away from this, you know, as the Collegiate

208
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:48,519
Sport Association.

209
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 4: Man Frank Thomas, Frank Thomas. This is going to hit

210
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,600
home for Ronald the three Man Weaver. I grew up

211
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,240
watching Frank Thomas, Frank Thomas suing the White Sox hike

212
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,279
and fantas over City Connect jersey sales.

213
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,279
Speaker 7: Uh what's the lady shown on Big Frank.

214
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: Well, Frank Hall of Famer, beloved White Sox player.

215
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: He's learned that, you know, the White Sox have been

216
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,879
doing They've been selling jerseys with his name on it.

217
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: And you know, in today's.

218
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,159
Speaker 5: World, guys are hearing what are they hearing about? They're

219
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:26,639
hearing about name, image and likeness. That didn't uhould be

220
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,159
a term that we ever used the name, image of

221
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,120
likeness and protecting your brand. And he realizes that the

222
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:35,000
White Sox are making a lot of money off the

223
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,200
jerseys that they're selling with his name on it. So

224
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,519
he has sued them, saying, you've made money. You owe

225
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,720
me money. You know, you profited from my name, my name,

226
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:48,440
image and likeness, you know, And it's interesting the jersey

227
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,039
Ronald like this, the jersey that they've really been promoting

228
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:52,840
is it's interesting.

229
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: It's a baseball jersey.

230
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,879
Speaker 5: It's a baseball style jersey, but it's it's in the

231
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,639
Chicago Bulls motif. It's it's read with with you know,

232
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:03,000
black accents and black stripes on it. But it's got

233
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,720
Frank Thomas Thomas's.

234
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,039
Speaker 2: Name on it.

235
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 5: And I think he's got a legitimate claim here. You know,

236
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,120
he's following the what's called the Illinois Right to Publicy

237
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,360
Publicity Act, you know, saying that they're violating that and

238
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,799
uh uh, you know, companies may not profit from anyone's

239
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:20,159
identity without their permission.

240
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,279
Speaker 2: We believe our filing speaks for ourselfs.

241
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: So that's what they're saying is you've been doing this,

242
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:26,960
and they've probably been doing it for years and years

243
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,120
since he retired. You know, every team does that. You know,

244
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,519
there's you see people wearing retired players jerseys everywhere. So

245
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:37,519
I think that he's entitled to something for that, they're.

246
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 6: Using his name image of likeness, so he sued him.

247
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,279
Speaker 2: Just getting going, We'll see what happens.

248
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 8: The Big Hurt is about to get some hurting on

249
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:45,600
the white Big Hurt.

250
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,879
Speaker 4: He wasn't all that. He wasn't all that friendly and

251
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:51,759
signing autographs.

252
00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:52,919
Speaker 7: He did not like.

253
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,159
Speaker 4: He did not sign autograph. He was angry. He was

254
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,120
always angry. But that's a different Yeah, we had Big Hurt.

255
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Was Big Hurt after every game, even if after every

256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,399
single you know outing. I guess, all right, locals in

257
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,120
the NFL not what you'd like to see. I've gotten

258
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,600
many a text, many of calls about this. They're like,

259
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,519
what's going on with Pooka Nikuah, I don't know, but

260
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,120
local NFL star pookaaku accused of biting a woman and saying, uh,

261
00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:28,440
fornication under the consent of the king all the Jews.

262
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,200
That's how I do my acronyms on the show. Sorry guys.

263
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,759
Uh yeah, anyway, that's what he said. Apparently, all right, guys, yeah,

264
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:36,480
break this down.

265
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:37,519
Speaker 7: What do they have going on?

266
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what he said. He's he's facing a lawsuit.

267
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,360
This is over a New Year's eve party, I guess,

268
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,559
and the lawsuit says that Nikua became quote intoxicated and

269
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:53,159
was acting strange and touchy feely with women women at

270
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,840
the dinner. There's an allegation that he bit two of

271
00:12:56,919 --> 00:12:59,519
these women. There's a bite mark on a you can

272
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,919
see on her shoulder and someone else's the other woman's thumb.

273
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:07,840
They were in a I guess, in a sprinter van together,

274
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,919
and so he's facing a lawsuit now. I think what's

275
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:15,840
a little bit interesting about this is Puka Nakua's attorney

276
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:20,360
has has come out, you know, pretty pretty forcely denying

277
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,360
this and even to the point of saying that he's

278
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:28,480
going to file a defamation lawsuit in response. It looks

279
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,559
like the defense is to basically say, hey, he was

280
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,200
it was horse play, he never said this anti Semitic comment,

281
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,039
and that this is a shakedown and this is a

282
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,960
way to just get money from him and this has

283
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,480
no no basis. So he's, you know, in kind of

284
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:50,679
going on the offense here a little bit, at least

285
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,480
in the media. There's a hearing coming up in a

286
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,360
couple of weeks on April fourteenth, and so we might

287
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,639
learn more about it then. But I don't know, ben

288
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,159
at Animum. I think Puka and Nkua needs just needs

289
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,480
to be a little careful field. He's showing up in

290
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,759
the news for all the wrong reasons too much lately.

291
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: It seemed like, yeah, you might as well just spend

292
00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:17,080
some money, like on security. You know, it's kind of

293
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,000
like your self help coach baby, you know, babysitter, so

294
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,399
that you don't do stupid stuff.

295
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:23,879
Speaker 7: Yeah.

296
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: Look, I always say many US mammals and US men

297
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,559
we need mentors. If we if we're not having good mentors,

298
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,480
good people around us, really like we can fall prey

299
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:36,919
to the follies of men.

300
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 7: And uh, I think that's what's happening.

301
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: You know, maybe a combination of repression, affluence, fame, and

302
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,399
being in the city of Los Angeles isn't a good

303
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,240
recipe for Puka Nukua happiness and success. Hopefully he's learning

304
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:55,399
his lessons the hard way and uh, you know, yeah,

305
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,960
hopefully he's Uh, he's gonna get back on the right

306
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,879
track here, all right, doc QUI this was crazy, quadruple

307
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:07,399
ampty cornhole professional has been jailed on murder charges. Crazy

308
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,600
stuff happening here?

309
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:13,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, then Kart and I have been talking

310
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,320
about for some time. We're like, how can we somehow

311
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:21,039
get a story of cornhole into sports quot you know,

312
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,679
the competition of cornhole. When is it going to happen

313
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,679
that we we can talk about that. So this is

314
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,519
a story that kind of caught the attention to the nation.

315
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,960
This is a guy named Dayton Weber. His background is

316
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,919
he at birth had some serious infections, infections that threatened

317
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,879
his life and as a result, he had amputation of

318
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,360
all four limbs, you know, partial amputation of all the

319
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,879
four limbs, and so he's been living like this throughout

320
00:15:44,879 --> 00:15:47,679
his life. I think he's twenty seven years old now.

321
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,000
But the guy likes sports, you know. He tried to

322
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,840
play some football, you know, to whatever extent, some track

323
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:57,440
and field events, and now he's become a professional cornhole

324
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,879
player pretty good, I guess.

325
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,519
Speaker 2: You know. There there's some YouTube videos out there.

326
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: But while we're talking about in sports court, it's not

327
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,679
because of the cornhole issue.

328
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: It's because he has He was.

329
00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 5: In a car and he decided to shoot and kill someone. Allegedly,

330
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:13,919

on with him and help him out and be accomplished

332
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,279
to this and he apparently drove to Virginia. They tracked

333
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,799
him down through surveillance. He was arrested in Virginia and

334
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:28,720
charged with first and second degree murder and he is

335
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:33,559

336
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,519

00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 7: Think it's over.

388
00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 8: It's a wrap. Kelvin Samson, as Brett always says, Brett

389
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,079
bringing the hammery already taken off the final boss of

390
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,920
the Big Twelve. They let me down, but my Illinois

391
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,799
finding the line, I got them. So it's mixed emotions

392
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:11,160
in the household. Mixed emotions in the house, motions in

393
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,480
the household, indeed. But yeah, I'm not going to tell you.

394
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,440
I looked before we started the segment because I knew

395
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,440
you're gonna do that. Uh yeah, I'm not gonna win

396
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:22,119
my challenge. So a lot of people picked Arizona. So

397
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,759
I have Arizona and Houston meeting in the national Championship.

398
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,880
That's what I have. So did you pick a Z?

399
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:30,039
Did you go with Arizona?

400
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 7: I did? I think? Uh well, I only did two.

401
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 4: Brackets and one of them, I did pick Houston, and

402
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,720
when I picked you of A, I hope I didn't

403
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:46,599
choose about Houston. I don't know if I chose Houston.

404
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,799
Speaker 7: Did I choose Houston. I chose.

405
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: I chose Houston and U of A to meet in

406
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,720
the finals because I'm a big twelve homer, but I'm.

407
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 8: A big twelve homer as well. Look, I picked Arizona

408
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,799
the winner one of them. I know I just said it,

409
00:19:57,839 --> 00:19:59,960
but I picked Arizona Houston to meet in the final

410
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,319
of all of them. And I'm very disappointed. Now disappointed.

411
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,920
I need Arizona to beat Michigan.

412
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,279
Speaker 2: Man. That's
