00:00Matt and Mike, how are you boys doing?
00:03The 3Ms.
00:04Wonderful, thank you.
00:05How's Mike Moore feeling this morning?
00:08Did you get some rest? What'd you do?
00:10Did you go home right away?
00:11I bet you eventually just had to crash.
00:14There's no way he could have waited until like 6 or 7.
00:16He's going to make it all the way through, but I don't know.
00:18That's too hard.
00:19I crashed right around 11.30.
00:21I walked right inside through my bag down, made a bagel,
00:24then made a second sandwich, a little hoagie,
00:27went right upstairs, passed out,
00:28woke up at like 5 o'clock,
00:30ate dinner, showered, back to bed.
00:32Wow, that's quite an afternoon.
00:34So you were in bed by 5-ish for the night?
00:37No, for the night, maybe like 7.30.
00:39No, he got up at 5.
00:40Oh, he got up at 5, okay.
00:41Yeah, and I was waking up.
00:42Oh, so you took a long power nap, and then you got back up.
00:45Yeah.
00:45Had some food.
00:46I respect your double dose of basically sandwiches.
00:49You had a bagel, and you also had a hoagie,
00:52and then you went right off to sleep.
00:53Yeah, some Italian cold cuts.
00:55Very nice.
00:56Very good.
00:57Aggressive, but I like it.
00:58And now you're feeling back to your old self,
01:00or still a little groggy?
01:01No, I'm feeling good.
01:02As good as you can for 6 in the morning.
01:04Excellent.
01:05But yeah, I'm ready to go.
01:07And then I got a big golf outing later today at 1.30.
01:10Oh, you do?
01:10Is this the one with Valdez?
01:12Yeah, Valdez, and then the owners of Italian Store.
01:14Oh, okay.
01:15Bobby Tremonte.
01:16I feel I'm embarrassed to admit this.
01:18I'm not familiar with the Italian Store's game.
01:21I've heard nothing but good things about it,
01:23but I don't believe I've ever sampled their own.
01:25Well, you're Maryland boys.
01:25Yeah, I've never sampled their goods.
01:26Well, I'm in Virginia a lot, but you have to explain it to me.
01:29I mean, it's just an Italian sub shop that's got,
01:32I think it's got two locations.
01:34It's got two in Arlington.
01:35And I think there's like, it's like a little mini grocery store in there, too.
01:38Yeah.
01:38Ah, the Italian store.
01:40They sell a lot of good meats, good pizza, good subs, good hoagies, prosciutto in there.
01:46Good wine.
01:47Just stuff it in your pockets.
01:48These are in Arlington.
01:49Yes.
01:50Both of these are in Arlington, I see.
01:51EB, you would love it, because also while you're there, you can get, you know, sandwiches to go,
01:55pizza to go, all sorts of food.
01:57And then you can also basically, yeah, do your grocery shopping in there and get different ingredients
02:00if you want to go home and make stuff.
02:01They sell really good sauce.
02:03Looks great to me.
02:04I'm just not familiar with their game.
02:06Yeah, it's really good.
02:07All right.
02:08And I actually played golf with Bobby before.
02:10He's a really good dude.
02:11And has it been around a long time?
02:13Or is it like, it's a long time thing.
02:15I don't know how many years, but it's been there a long time.
02:17All right.
02:18All right.
02:19You guys are playing with that.
02:20Are you playing at Washington Golf, correct?
02:22Yes.
02:23That's a nice spot.
02:24It's going to be a good day.
02:25Have fun.
02:26Have a good time.
02:26Yesterday was beautiful.
02:27Today is going to be beautiful.
02:29It's good to see that Mike Marr is getting ready for the Purple Heart.
02:31He's going to start open the following week.
02:32He's getting a warm-up round in before we undertake our own.
02:36It's the game improving at all, Mike.
02:38Today could be a show.
02:40I haven't been swinging a lot of golf clubs in the last couple months.
02:44So this is a big deal for me today.
02:47Shake off the cobwebs because I'm a Purple Heart guy through and through.
02:51Understood.
02:51So I kind of got to get locked in for that tournament next week.
02:54Do you have a fresh pack of heaters to bring out today?
02:56I got to stop at 7-Eleven on the way home.
02:58Get a bunch of goodies.
02:59Okay.
02:59Thankfully, this course is like four minutes from my house.
03:02Perfect.
03:02I put in my GPS yesterday.
03:04Excellent.
03:04I'll stop by the range beforehand, and Valdez is going to have to carry us again.
03:08You're going to love it.
03:09It's a good spot.
03:10It's the way it usually works.
03:11Well, you guys will have fun.
03:13Jason, I have to admit, I thought of you yesterday as I was watching that Barcelona game.
03:19The Spain game.
03:20The Spain game.
03:21Oh, my God.
03:21I was laughing.
03:23You guys all had a much better day than I did.
03:26What are you thinking?
03:26Was your account complete felt?
03:28Zero.
03:29Down to the felt?
03:29What were you thinking?
03:30So when they bring in Jamal, you think you got a chance?
03:33Because he brings instant offense to them.
03:36I don't know anything about him.
03:37I knew they were kind of desperate when they brought him in, just based on what they were saying.
03:42But the fact that they were scoreless when they brought him in, just threw me for a loop.
03:49I didn't understand it.
03:50I didn't understand how Cape Verde's population is about the same as Navy Yard.
03:55Yeah.
03:56First World Cup game ever.
03:58Yeah.
03:58Smallest country ever to be represented.
04:00Smallest country ever.
04:01And Spain is this world powerhouse.
04:04Did they play backups the whole time?
04:06Well, some.
04:07Yeah.
04:07I mean, Jamal's a superstar.
04:08We talked about him.
04:09There was another guy that they brought in.
04:13I don't know much about Cape Verde.
04:14Even the backups should have beaten Cape Verde.
04:16I couldn't find it on a map if you gave me 100 tries.
04:19But what I read about them is that they just farm out all their silly players, go to training academies,
04:26like the best training academies all over the world, and they've assembled them on this team.
04:31So it's not like they're just playing around in this group of islands out in the middle of nowhere.
04:36Their training gets the best of the best.
04:39I'm sure a lot of the countries have the same type of deal with these players.
04:43They just packed it in and just tried to grind out a tie.
04:48I mean, I didn't watch the whole game.
04:49I was getting texts from everybody.
04:51I believe their first shot in the second half came in like the 85th or later minute.
04:57They just were no real threat to win.
05:01Although they had a great shot in about the 90th minute, too.
05:04Yeah, that header, which the guy put right down on the ground instead of up in a corner.
05:08Spain was minus 1,400.
05:10All right?
05:10If you don't know what that means, that means if they were so heavily favored,
05:14you would have to lay $1,400 to win $100 if you took Spain.
05:19Okay?
05:19That's a huge, huge deal.
05:22Do we want to hear the guarantee yesterday?
05:24Oh, I do.
05:25I'd like to hear it.
05:26But is there any chance Spain loses today at 12 o'clock to Cape Verde?
05:30Zero.
05:31There's minus three.
05:33There's minus 14.
05:34I will shave all the body hair off Mike Maher.
05:38All of it.
05:39Do you at least get half your money back?
05:40If they lose to Cape Verde.
05:41No, it's a plus 120 bet.
05:43So you actually get a little bit.
05:44All right.
05:45So I would make up a lot of what I lost on Saturday.
05:48Takes us back in on one side of bets?
05:50No, it would be Mike Maher.
05:52I shave all his hair.
05:53Not Maher.
05:53I saw how that worked.
05:55I'm trying to drag him off.
05:56Is there any chance Spain loses to Cape Verde?
05:59No.
05:59Very, very unlikely.
06:00I mean, a draw is always possible.
06:02That's what I mean.
06:03That's a loss.
06:03A draw is a loss.
06:04A draw is a loss for you.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Yeah.
06:07There you go.
06:07Well, technically not.
06:08I mean, in the betting world, it's a loss.
06:10But technically, by the letter of the law, it was a draw.
06:13But there is a loss in the arena that you're in.
06:17It was bad.
06:18By the way, yesterday, not a great day for the soccer bros who are always bragging that
06:23a ton of action, not a lot of ties.
06:26The whole scoreboard yesterday.
06:28Ties.
06:28Draws.
06:29Quad Fecta.
06:30Ties.
06:31Correct.
06:310-0, 1-1-1-1.
06:33Deuce, deuce.
06:341.1-1-1-1-1-1-1.
06:36But maybe it was just because I was getting a perverse pleasure in that Spain game.
06:41I enjoyed it.
06:43Like, it was a 0-0 thing, and it was only a couple shots, you know, for Cape Verde.
06:47I totally enjoyed the game.
06:48When Jamal came in, it was totally exciting.
06:50Every time he touched the ball, it was electric.
06:51I did not enjoy it.
06:52I'm sure you were not enjoying it yesterday.
06:55See, I watched the first, I don't know, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, maybe 25 minutes.
07:01And my wife and I took the dog for a walk.
07:03Yeah.
07:04All right.
07:04When we came back from the walk, I said, T, go in first and tell me the score.
07:11I didn't want to see it.
07:12Yeah.
07:14So she looked.
07:14She goes, I can't really see it because we were kind of far away from TV.
07:17She goes, oh, nil-nil.
07:19Oh, she actually used the soccer parlance.
07:21I like that.
07:21Yeah, she said nil-nil.
07:22Not 0-0.
07:23And this was, you know, midway through the second half.
07:25I said, oh, my gosh, I'm going to effing lose this.
07:28I just knew it.
07:29I knew I was going to lose.
07:30That's my luck.
07:31So, I mean, have you reloaded yet, or is that going to happen today at some point?
07:34I don't know.
07:35I haven't decided.
07:36We know you can't stay away from betting.
07:38I know, but I'm just so pissed off about it.
07:40Now that it's gone, can you just, how much did you lose?
07:44I was in the few hundred range.
07:48He was just down in the felt.
07:49He was down in the felt, remember?
07:51What do you mean?
07:52What was it?
07:52You put the last few hundred on it because you had a bad weekend.
07:56Yeah, I had, it was roughly about 400 bucks.
07:59Yeah.
08:01Look, I know you're paying.
08:02Valdez and I had that golf bet about a month ago that just went belly up.
08:07I mean, it sucks.
08:09Why in your head did you bet soccer?
08:11Why did I bet at all?
08:12No, not bet at all.
08:13Yeah.
08:14I can see maybe you're on tilt.
08:16It's frustration.
08:18You think it's a sure thing, whatever it is.
08:20But you chose a sport that you know nothing about.
08:26Why did you zero in the entire account on something that you don't know anything about?
08:32Because I was just basing it on the people, what the people were saying who do know about it.
08:37And I looked at the numbers and I said, well, the odds are so big that I've got to take
08:42Spain.
08:43Now, the other two games I took were Germany, who also was a huge favorite.
08:48Yeah.
08:48And I took Sweden.
08:50Now, Sweden wasn't as big a favorite as Spain and Germany, but it was a good payoff.
08:55It was a plus money payoff.
08:56And I said, screw it.
08:58I said, I'm just going to bet it.
09:01Spain's one of the top two or three favorites to win the World Cup.
09:04Sure.
09:04They're playing a country that's never played in it before.
09:08It's a speck on the map.
09:09So, baseball, I bet baseball all the time, but baseball is so unpredictable, it's hard to bet baseball.
09:14So, I figured this was a better bet, surefire bet, than if I just took, you know, the Cubs or
09:21the Phillies.
09:22So, I said, F it.
09:23I'm just going to put the whole ball of wax on the 3D parlay.
09:26So, you should get back on the course.
09:27You've got a three-game slate today.
09:30You just take all the massive favorites, parlay them together.
09:33Take France, Norway, and Argentina.
09:36No, because it'll lose.
09:37You can see it back on the horse.
09:39It'll lose.
09:39That was the strategy beforehand.
09:42Why would he go back to the well doing that?
09:44Well, this is what will happen.
09:45I won't do it.
09:46They don't quit gambling.
09:47They just keep going.
09:48But I won't do it.
09:50But it'll hit.
09:52It'll hit.
09:53I know.
09:53Cakes, he's repeating history.
09:56One day removed.
09:57It's what the general gamblers do.
09:59It's what they tend to do.
10:00What's sick is, like, Spain's probably still going to win the group.
10:05And they'll probably still be right there.
10:07Yeah, at the very end.
10:08You know what I mean?
10:09Well, they'll probably, in their next game, I don't know who they play, but they'll play
10:12their guys.
10:13They'll play all the games.
10:14They'll win 5-1.
10:15And they'll be fine.
10:16Yes.
10:16It was just the matchup and the way they approached it and the way Cape Verde approached it.
10:20They thought we're playing Cape Verde.
10:21They've never been here before.
10:22It was the perfect storm.
10:23We can hold off our sillies until, you know, the 80th minute and probably still be up.
10:29Spain's next opponent, Saudi Arabia.
10:31Yeah, I mean, they'll probably kill them.
10:34I wouldn't want to be Saudi Arabia in that matchup.
10:36Probably not.
10:37I was texting my buddy.
10:38He's a huge Spain guy.
10:40He's from Spain.
10:40His family's from Spain.
10:41They go to Spain every year.
10:42He was watching it from his office.
10:46He was so livid.
10:48Oh, yeah.
10:48Just livid.
10:49Now, again, he's not too worried because he knows they're dominant.
10:52Yeah.
10:53But just livid that they approached it the way they did.
10:56Yeah.
10:57It's just one of those things.
10:58Well, you never know.
10:59Spain, about eight years ago, was a massive favorite, and they didn't get out of the group
11:02stage.
11:02If I remember correctly.
11:04Yeah.
11:05Yeah.
11:05But the way they've changed it.
11:07You should have just hit a cash out.
11:08As soon as Cakes attached themselves to it and said they can't lose.
11:12Oh, yeah.
11:13You should have just hit the eject button.
11:14All right.
11:14Well, I probably should have.
11:15It's junkies 101.
11:16Well, I'll tell you off the air why I didn't do a cash out.
11:20Oh, really?
11:21Okay.
11:21I need to hear this intel.
11:23We'll get the skinny on that.
11:25All right.
11:26Coming up on a Tuesday, we're going to have a lot of...
11:28Put it this way.
11:28It wasn't an option.
11:29Oh, okay.
11:30We've got a lot of NBA talk on the show today with the NBA draft next week.
11:35It is a week from tonight.
11:38So pumped for this.
11:39Tyler Metcalf, founder of No Ceilings NBA.
11:41He will join us at 8 o'clock.
11:43Paul Biancardi, National Recruiting Director, NBA Draft Analyst for ESPN.
11:48He will be on the show coming up at 9 o'clock when we come back.
11:53Darren Peterson thinks he's going number one overall.
11:55He won't even work out for the Utah Jazz, but he will work out for the Washington Wizards.
12:01We will get into that next here on The Fan.
