You got your diehard batteries, the like the rare breed of athlete that always plays with a lot of power, but you could also depend on to be on the field game after game. Yes, me. That's the type of performance you want under your hood. So head to advance auto parts where you can get the reliability, durability and power of hard with free testing and installation from advanced team members, adventure auto and advanced auto parts, and participate in Carquest locations.

See stores for details. Well, anybody can get down to it if you try to, like, jump and defend them. No, no, Chris, you could not get dunked. Yet there has to be a meeting at the rim, a region that you cannot jump to.

I mean, I disagree. I get what your I get your meeting with a bad back you could get. I can't touch the rim. Like, if that's the joke you're going for, I can't touch there. None of us. I can most certainly get dunked on without touching the rim.

I would say Tony is the only one who has it. Well, Tony, you might have a chance to touch to him.

Exactly. You don't have to jump up in the air to be done. What about Bill?

Why are you excluding Billy? Why do you why do you think that Billy Billy could dunk? I think that's my role here, Billy.

You could probably touch a rim. I don't I'm not certain Billy could touch it. I mean, he was he was a track and field seems a pole vault.

Yeah, but listen, I respect what Billy did, but he used a prop to get himself over that.

Billy, Billy just gave you, like, an evil grin of, like, I can definitely touch him. Definitely any pull jumper could dunk, I think.

Roy, can you touch the rim because you're in your mid forties now? Yeah, absolutely.

It's all right. But I mean, what do you mean poor Roy like Roy Roy Roy is the old soul of the show. Roy, Roy Roy No. 70S television. I think it's all to ask the question on the pole that someone who knows 70s television, can they touch a rim. Listen.

And I haven't lost my hops. I just lost my speed. OK, very good.

Although I play basketball again, you I can see why you're a hockey guy.

I play defense. I play now. Oh, when somebody gets fouled they stay foul. Rodman the worm. Wow.

You're a scrappy defender, Roy. I cannot think of much more pathetic in the realm of talking about what kind of athlete you are. Then when someone says, tell me about your basketball skills and you say I'm a scrappy defender, that is not a good defense in any any pickup game I've ever seen.

Listen, I could set screens Sudan. You know, he's doubling down on glue. Guy, do we need to put the sponsor in here for the poll that's out the on our sponsor work.

So we have to kick the can down the road. We can do it tomorrow. You can do it. I've got to do it tomorrow.

Yeah. Yeah. But wait, so have we established whether or not Billy could touch the. He definitely can. Go ahead Billy.

I stand corrected then you know, maybe I can. Maybe I can. I can. He can really.

He's like six. Two. Are you six to Billy. How tall are you. I don't know, six year around there, maybe you're not.

I can understand maybe being modest about being able to dunk, but being modest about the height, right?

I mean, I as a short person my whole life. So I don't want to walk around and say I'm this guy. And then someone looks at me like you're not that high. So I just, you know, I just don't talk about my height that I've never met somebody like just like I don't want to tell you how tall.

And I usually lie and say I'm shorter than I am if we're going to be honest, which is strange because most people lie up on height and I lie down, I'm like, you know, I'm like five, ten maybe. Yeah.

But you're like you're reasonably smart. Like I'm a short person, so I'm lying about my size all the time. I mean, you know, I'm five eight but I tell people I'm five, ten.

There are arguments happening in your head over your height like there are no they've been settled.

The arguments are done now. We've kind of reached the, you know, agreement in my head what we're going to do.

OK, and it is unusual, though, you would agree, right? Telling people that you're smaller than you are and ten when you're six to like you're just leaving a web of lies for no reason that I can discern. Well, because everybody usually lies up.

Right. And then you you're the fraud that's lying about how tall you are. Right. So I wrote, you know, if I'm going to lie about my height, I'd rather lay down and than have people or lie down and have people say, oh, you're taller than I thought instead of this guy's not six four. It's because that's six three. You know what I mean? What do I get out of lying about my height?

Really lie should be used to to benefit you. I mean, we're doing it all wrong.

Says Liar. Liar. To get you out is like this and now it's guys has parlayed all of his lying. This is crazy. I'm wondering how you guys experience this. How do you guys experience Chris? Because you had this giant smile on your face. How do you experience do God showing up looking like a bum on ESPN gambling show, like with a dirty hat and a beard and a bad camera angle. And the graphic started to pools open Ford team like I saw the smile on your face, evidently.

Did you catch this live or were you watching somebody did someone send you a clip?

Chris, I did not see it live, but I saw clips and I was proud. I was instantly proud. I texted you got to hear the king like. No, like he owned that appearance. He's like, I'll wear what I want and how I want. And I and I sound great. I'm so I crushed it.

I think there's two ways to go when you're going to be a gambling expert on a gambling show. Right. There's the way that you go where you look kind of like Stu God. You're like, you know, like I'm down in the dirt on the grimy gambling guy. Right. And then there's the gambling person that wears lots of like jewelry, like gold and turquoise and stuff like that. It's one or the other.

So I'm glad to see you took the that you took you right. Dressed to the nines guy. Right. Let's got the suit. Got a Versace. He's got, you know, all the jewelry on with money that went from gambling. You're totally right about that. There are two ways to go. I chose my what lazy would the dirty would. The grand jury. The only way are you going to make more appearances there weekly, I think weekly.

Yeah, I didn't. I need a name. I need a name. Besides the guy I think I need, like, somebody sounds pretty gambling, like a Wayne Roots guy.

This is one of those times and the answer is right under your nose. Stewart is pretty spot on for a gambling show, especially if you don't if you are if you have zero frame of reference for who Sucrets is and you're just tuning into the daily wager because you like gambling, you have a perfect name as a gambling go to guy under under the guise of Fatemeh. Right. That's how they brought you in. Right. Just fade this guy. And that's how you're a gambling expert.

Now, I only saw clips on social media, so I have no idea what like the meat of your segment was actually asking you for advice?

No, they were well. Yes, I mean, at the end, they why in God's name would they do that? Well, because I had an historical season, in case you forgot, OK? I was really good at picking NFL games last year. I actually had a pretty decent college record as well. They were asking me about the heat.

You had a decent college record? Yeah, I did. I've been to a bowl game. Oh, I was historically bad.

You pitch this to them because like, oh, you start and you're like, oh, no. A guy that started 16 at all last week. But Lorenzo, he did have the recordings are really my record is twenty seven one and zero bill.

But this all happened when we went to Bristol. Dan was out for six weeks. I didn't ask for any of it that whole period. OK, once felt like it did. We went up to Bristol and I saw Doug Kazarian multiple times, as did you. OK, at Doug Kazarian really wanted me to be a part of Daily Wager. And so he said, we'll get these new studios at Vegas next year and I would like you to be a part of the show.

And I finally became a part of the show, a weekly part of the show. This is all Doug's doing. And I'm very grateful and thankful that he did it. But no one has a better gig at ESPN than Kazarian. I mean, the guy was at Vegas with Brad, brand new guy.

I feel like your lane might be every week come up with like an obscure prop, like. Right. Like just like some random prop. And if you can go on a streak of that being the wacky prop guy.

So we're going to do I'm going to do my dartboard pick of the week. Okay, because there's a game was they throwing darts? And so I'm going to put all the teams on a dart board and throw darts. Whichever team the DART lands on is the team. I take that I have an idea for you two.

Got to go. You should do later in the season just because it's gambling and it's Vegas, you should get a roulette wheel and you should put all the teams in the wheel and just spin the ball and then see who you pick for the week.

I like that. Or wait, what about before? Like they ask, let's say they say Jex, whoever Colts plus ten who you got and you roll the dice. So it really doesn't matter. Like the dice lands on three and you're like, I like the Colts. Like your thing should just be always rolling a dice, even though it doesn't really matter what the dice land.

It's a roll of the dice. Yeah, definitely. You definitely need a thing other than your current thing, which is inexplicably doing a camera head from under your chin. You gotta change that camera angle. I'm not doing yourself any favors. Makes me look fat. I mean, you're right under your chin. You can't do you can't do that. Can you put it on your computer. Right. I did. Off my phone. Oh you did it off your phone.

Yeah. Why would you do this yourself. But the phone hire.

I don't know how to use face time off, but I don't just put the phone higher, OK? I mean, look slimmer. Well, they asked me because you're right, she made the point, hey, get that thing I level and I got as close to high levels I could. I said, how do I get at eye level? She said, do you have any books?

I said, well I just there you go. I said, I have three. And this is as high as it goes.

The Buy More Books, Green Eggs and Ham, not a very wide book.

What do you guys think tonight?

He can make it big game. Jimmy Butler. Come on, Butler. Predictions around the horn.

Billy Usually I would tell you this.

Billy wants to do predictions. That's for Jimmy Butler has to come out and have a big game today. He has to.

And it. Does anybody know the spread? What's the spread?

It's been hovering around three here. Let me say, I know something tells me the heat aren't going to get any respect on the home court. Keep in mind, Tony Brothers in Scott Foster, are your officials today along with. Oh, my God, no.

It is a foster. Good for favorites. I guess it's different.

Scott Foster's whole thing was on. The Celtics are favored. Scott Foster's reputed thing was, if you're a home team and Scott Foster's coming to town, take the road. Win the lineup. Really? Oh, the opposite. Yeah. The line opened at two and a half. He likes to take a home crowd out of it. And also, Tony Brothers has that reputation wide open. A two and a half. It is now ballooned up to three and a half.

People are taking the Celtics.

What time is this game?

Stata It is an eight thirty tip, which means I'm a little late to late night on the twitch. A little. Well, how late? I mean, you have to stay the whole game and yeah. Take a quick look at halftime. I'm going to be sleep. What are you going to complain about traffic. No, but I mean I'm all I want to complain about old age. I'm going to be sleeping. I mean, eight thirty starting beats halftimes one bill like nine forty.

You got here a night owl who you can. I've got you up till like two a.m. every night. I'm not I'm really I used to be but I'm not using that game starting at eight thirty.

That's cute. Game's going to start close to ninety five. Why do you say that after that.

It's a good start. Thirty five minutes after. It's a great question. I've never quite understood it, but that's always what happens. You're just sitting around like, are we going to get this going? What's happening here? It's what soccer has figured out. Best man. It's a ten and start. They are right at 10 a.m. that ball kicks off and the game's over by noon. The best thing about soccer.
