00:00And so you can't bet it anywhere unless you're in Nevada.

00:03I was highly disappointed in that news.

00:06I immediately went to the underworld.

00:08I said that I'm sure I can find someone that'll take the action on it.

00:13And there's games all night long.

00:15What do you think of them banning the betting on it?

00:18I think it's absolutely ridiculous.

00:21But state laws are state laws.

00:23It varies by state a lot.

00:25Most of the mainstream sports books took it off

00:28at the request of the gaming, their local gaming commissions.

00:32Like you said, Scott, nobody's paying attention to this.

00:34Wait till the commissions find out about the WBIT that we were betting on, Scott.

00:39It's a WBIT, right?

00:41So it wasn't it wasn't sanctioned this tournament.

00:46The legality of it is there's basically it's like a professional tournament.

00:50Scott's almost like the TBT.

00:52There's NIL deals on the line for the winning kids.

00:57Three hundred thousand dollars.

00:59So like there's an incentive for the players to want to win this.

01:02They're going to get NIL deals, the winning team.

01:04And, you know, the winning team gets 300K, whatever.

01:06Second place, 100K, whatever it is.

01:09So there's sort of a prize pool for this, Scott.

01:11And therefore, it's it's not they're not allowed betting on it

01:16for whatever reason.

01:16But what's the difference about this than like

01:19if a team gets paid to play in a bowl game?

01:22Like Michigan aren't playing in a Rose Bowl for free people,

01:24the Rose Bowl are paying them, right?

01:26They're getting money to go to play in that game.

01:29So I don't know what the difference is because the kids are actually

01:32getting the money now.

01:33There seems to be some sort of betting issue.

01:35But I personally don't have a problem with it, Scott.

01:38And I have DePaul plus ten right now as we speak.

01:42We just tipped off Bearcats and the Demons.

01:46So I took DePaul plus ten.

01:47Listen, DePaul are actually not a bad basketball team.

01:50I think they're better than their record indicates.

01:52We saw them give Creighton all they can handle in the Big East tournament,

01:56getting a ten spot.

01:57I think they're going to play loose.

01:58They're going to play fun.

01:58And like you said, Scott, who cares what the tournament's called?

02:02King of the court, crown of this, the crown of whatever the hell it's called.

02:06The fact of the matter is every game went over yesterday, dude.

02:09And I think we'll sort of see that theme continue.

02:12We got some higher totals as the day goes on.

02:14But these basketball games, guys, when you're betting on them,

02:18they're like bowl games. All right.

02:19They're like lower tier bowl games.

02:21Now you're into the final four, the NIT, the coaches will take it seriously.

02:25And they'll call kids out for not playing defense.

02:27Like once you get to the final four, the NIT is a little bit different.

02:30But you got to these CBI, CITs, king of the courts, crown of the courts, whatever.

02:35You know, the coaches are just happy to kid.

02:37Number one, hasn't transferred yet and went to another school.

02:40Number two, they're just happy that the kids are playing for them still.

02:44They're not yelling at him, Scott.

02:45You know the drill, bro.

02:46It's like, let's have some fun.

02:48Let's run and gun.

02:49Take your shots, kid.

02:50And let's see where the chips fall.

02:52And that's why you get all these overs like college football bowl games.

02:55Right. Coaches. All right.

02:56Let's let's work that trick play that we never used all year.

02:59We're going to go. We'll go for a fake pump.

03:00We got nothing to lose. This game's for fun.

03:03They want to win. Right.

03:04They want to win.

03:05But they also understand the kids are not going to be engaged

03:08if you yell at them for eight months out of 12 months a year.

03:11So they're going to have some fun out there.

03:13I like the overs. I'm on the over this game, Scott, with the Bearcats

03:16and DePaul, and I'm on DePaul plus ten.

03:18Let's go over to this game.

03:19Did you watch all the games last night?

03:21Did the governor did Brando call all four games?

03:27I don't know, because I'm on the air, Scott.

03:29I don't have the sound. Oh, yeah.

03:32Right. I mean, I didn't see.

03:34You don't know if he's calling, if he's like doing the whole thing tonight

03:38through the Tulane USC game at eight West.

03:42No, no, that's too long.

03:43He's not there from three until one in the morning.

03:47Well, it's it'd be noon, noon, noon out there, noon to 10.

03:52Yeah, it's still 11 hours, four games in a row.

03:54No, they've they've got to have somebody else.

03:55They got to be got on some of that profile fuel.

03:58He might be able to make it. Yeah.

04:03What do you think of that guy getting banned after all those runs last year?

04:08Now we know why he threw the ball at the Dodger fans.

04:10The guy had Roy rage. Right.

04:11I remember last year he got into the outfield

04:15and he wanted to go to the stands after and stuff.

04:17So I don't know, Scott, I kind of figure in today's day and age, bro.

04:22If you get like suspended, like you're pretty stupid

04:27and you must have really, really done something for real.

04:31Right. Because they don't want to suspend you, bro.

04:33I do. And I covered the the Expos.

04:35I was around the Expos in the steroid era.

04:36It was literally like the Roy era, right?

04:39Bonds and all that type of design and McGuire and Sosa and stuff.

04:42And Major League Baseball used to send a, you know, random drug test.

04:47And it'd be like once a month type of deal.

04:49Like they will. They would do it.

04:51But get this.

04:52Everybody that was on steroids would magically disappear from the clubhouse.

04:56And oh, he's in the shower.

04:58I don't know. He's working out somewhere.

05:00Oh, I see. It's just here.

05:02They're just like kids, Scott.

05:03I don't know who I want and Joey.

05:06I saw him somewhere.

05:07I think he's in the bullpen somewhere. Right.

05:09And all these guys just sort of disappear around the stadium,

05:11even though they're in the stadium, like they punch the time clock.

05:14I'm here. So they're not hiding.

05:16But then they go hide.

05:17But there's a there's an understanding, Scott, of the drug testers.

05:20Let's say we don't want to bust anybody like Jamie Carroll, guys.

05:24I'm just throwing out a random name here.

05:26Look up Jamie Carroll after guys like five, eight.

05:29Yeah. Overachiever, lifelong minor leaguer made the big leagues and stuff.

05:34You know, loves God. Hardcore Christian guy.

05:36Scott, this guy did more drug tests than Courtney Love in his career. All right.

05:40And why was why was why was Jamie Carroll the one they were like,

05:44Jamie's not on steroids.

05:46He would he would be there like waiting for the test.

05:49Hey, guys, I'll take the test.

05:51And they'd be like, yeah, yeah, we know you're not on steroids.

05:54But 18 other guys are on your team.
