[00:00:30]

Welcome, Dan Levy, really being honest about.

[00:00:35]

Just a giant piece of shit to the big silly Bald Eagles, a podcast exclusive that none of our bosses ask for.

[00:00:43]

More sports, more work, less pay. I haven't stopped talking in a month.

[00:00:48]

I mean, I tell you, just when you thought the show couldn't be more dilutive than last time I listened to this show, I haven't listened for years now.

[00:00:57]

Here's the marching band. No way am I missing something.

[00:01:00]

What am I missing? The end of the story that face Chris Fallick. It's Fallica he made on the penis and the habitual liar.

[00:01:08]

I didn't ask for any of us for all of it. The big SUV.

[00:01:11]

I'm Chris Codi. BSP said, is that the most meaningless thing South Florida Sports has ever celebrated? Dion Waiters hit a big shot against the Warriors for a team that ended up not making the playoffs.

[00:01:24]

But Rex Chapman's Miami Heat of eight players beat Michael Jordan.

[00:01:29]

That's actually a great one. That's a great one. Yeah. And there was a giant celebration, Miami's return against Duke. I mean, ended up being pretty meaningless, it was, oh, the lateral play, yeah, the crazy kickoff return. Oh, please go get that, Mike, because you can't play that enough.

[00:01:45]

I miss the days when we were watching, um, football with such such joy that we were listening to it on the radio and Jose Gakkai was calling the games.

[00:01:57]

The biggest Dolphins plays have been the Camerino play and then the lateral play against the Patriots. Right. Like, those are the dolphins. That's another. That's a good one. That's a good one there.

[00:02:07]

Let's go ahead. And if you don't remember this, this was Duke Miami. At the end of the game, Miami won with a whole bunch of laterals, beat Duke. And we did celebrate that. Again, it was the beating of Duke. It was David Cutcliffe. And then, boy, did they still have a track around the field back then.

[00:02:25]

I think this was after they took the track remembering Shannon. So, like, that's a tough place to play. You got to walk over the track. This guy was ranked at the time and Malik Rose here.

[00:02:34]

This was his first start for Miami and it's technically one of those ranked opponents on the road. I still cling on to this one.

[00:02:40]

This is one of the this is one of the best, best play by play calls.

[00:02:44]

You will ever hear 2074 script kick, just pull down on it or whatever. No, they're going to try the lateral, pass it to the other side of the field. This never works. Cut by Cornell, their pitches are back to Jacqueline Johnson at the Miami Thirty, delaying the inevitable. Looking for a block pitcher so backwards as many laterals, no bounce pass interference penalties on that last run. Woolton no pictures up back to Johnson. Guess we're going to keep going with this back.

[00:03:11]

Here comes another pitch. Cornilles or has it throws it back to the plumber's number one goal line. Tell us, Crawford looking for a blocker gets one. Definitely not a block in the back. He throws it across to the thirty to go another big legal block. He's got it to the forty holder crossing. He'll do those who goes midfield for another three to go to the forty speeding ticket. How come. No dashing down the sideline. So what your kid has ringworm teddy bear inside the red zone another his other than his other boy Lindy.

[00:03:45]

Hurry Scottie make Miami take hold on. Presently, no flights on the field, and certainly no one will have a problem with how that's going on.

[00:04:04]

Oh, wait, we don't speak English, so everyone hates us.

[00:04:10]

Made Jemele Hill apologize to me in person. She responded to that.

[00:04:14]

Tony, had you not heard that before? Tony's got tears in his eyes and was covering his face, jiggling with laughter the entire time. What got you was Palazuelos, who was right, although Dandi Bear did the ringworm in the middle of that. Tony, you hadn't heard that before? No, I hadn't heard that before.

[00:04:33]

Which makes it funny is that I used to work when I was working at five sixty. I was the board operator who had to take account for all the live reads. So I had to go back of a nine hour broadcast and cut out all the live residuals, you would say.

[00:04:48]

So I felt that that Theriot's that you felt that one deep within your soul, having had having to grab all those forced liberates. By the way, Miamis playing Duke this week wasn't on the schedule. Emergency opponent that was scheduled yesterday because what happened was because everyone needs money because Miami came out of their covid situation. But they're postponing game with Wake Forest had to be canceled outright because now Wake Forest is dealing with their own covid situation. But because FSU is dealing with their own covid situation, Duke and Miami find themselves needing an opponent this weekend.

[00:05:24]

And Miami finds one, I guess, credit to them for trying to get that money and get that W because they really don't need to play this game. They've they've done enough to secure a big bowl game. They play their allotment. What a crazy college football season. Ohio State might not play enough games to qualify for the Big Ten championship game, although I'm sure they'll make an exception.

[00:05:43]

I mean, you're saying you're saying crazy, but I just wonder where I have to put it for you so that the greed bothers you. I don't mean you personally. I just mean how much do I have to distort this thing in which it's going to get so distorted that you're not actually measuring who's the best team or who the champion is? Some of this stuff got in college football has always been random, right? Like what I think about the macro of college football that I find fascinating is it's always the same teams in the sport that are the 20 best because they get all the best players and everyone there else in the sport is just fodder like Alabama and Ohio State and Clemson right now.

[00:06:23]

They're so far ahead of everyone else in terms of getting everyone that they want that the Big Ten's not really up for dispute. Only the virus can can kill Ohio State. The Big Twelve is always the same two teams and it's always Oklahoma. Like the whole thing is a bit of a crock in terms of measurement. But never more than this year, right? Never more than what you're witnessing now. And I wonder where you have to put it, where I have to put it for the audience where you like.

[00:06:50]

This is ridiculous. Like we shouldn't be doing this. This is not the accurate measurement of who are champions.

[00:06:55]

Should be Ohio State playing four games would kind of do it for me. Like four games, four games. You put them in the final four.

[00:07:02]

I mean, it's they better just say hold on to the line that they're picking the best four teams in the nation just based off of talent.

[00:07:10]

And because if you're doing right, you may actually do that before the season, honest to God. Like, why bother playing any. No, no. But I'm saying that if I asked you who are the like if I tell you guys right now, hey, who you're going to see, you're going to see Clemson, you're going to see Alabama, you're going to see Ohio State. It's been like this for years.

[00:07:24]

Some people would think Notre Dame or some people would have picked Notre Dame, except for that's where people would have objected, though. Those three three and the four three needed three of the four.

[00:07:32]

And you needed to see the season play out. But I like resume building in terms of college football. It's patently absurd that Miami fell three spots after winning as a road underdog with almost their entire team missing, not being able to to field an actual competitive team. They fall three spots and because of covid their idol and climb three spots, this makes no sense.

[00:07:54]

Oh, but you're going to get in pro football the same way you got like there is the chance here that they're going to be some rewards for the Steelers in getting sick where they get extra time to rest and bodies because the Steelers don't need like we are headed to a place as they've got an outbreak where the Pittsburgh Steelers might have fewer games than everyone else. And that's an advantage for them. Not not if they're canceled games and they don't have the make up week, then the Steelers, the Steelers are adamant that they want to play this game with good reason because there's a chance if it gets canceled, their bye week goes out the window.

[00:08:28]

And in a random sport, you don't want to play one more game, especially in a loaded AFC this year. So they want to get this game played.

[00:08:34]

But it's better now. I know the Steelers are good and deserving at Fordo. I have no idea. Ohio State, I think they're good. I think they deserve to be in the final four. But there were four games.

[00:08:43]

I mean, I don't know what to do because that sport you use transitive property more than any when you have the eight of nonconference games and you have so few nonconference games. What I would have liked to have seen, but BYU wouldn't wouldn't have done it as. Actually, with their own in-house rules, as I would have liked to seen Miami go for it because Cincinnati and BYU are out there, I would have loved to have seen Miami like, OK, we're actually going to go for this.

[00:09:04]

We're going to try to impress the committee and take advantage of teams like Ohio State playing four games. Let's get BYU. But BYU would never do that in their right mind.

[00:09:12]

So let me understand something here in terms of how we're doing this, because you saw two gods that the saints, they parted, massless after beating the Bucs 38 three, and they got a penalty here that was stiff. And a lot of teams, the Raiders, a lot of teams are getting stiff financial penalties. But in this case, the Saints also had a draft pick taken away. And my question is, given that so much around this virus has been unknown, given that we're all sitting here fighting the unseen and the unknown, walking around hoping the masks are doing something, the science tells us percentage wise, right.

[00:09:49]

If you look at the percentages of two people across from each other and they're wearing masks, it's a one percent chance of something passing back and forth. Right. Drew Lock said they got reckless with the masks in a meeting and that's how they lost their entire quarterback crew in Denver. Does it not feel to you, given the amount, the sheer amount of unknown here, combined with the sheer amount of greed that, like Dan Wolken says for Yahoo!

[00:10:16]

Sports, that Gonzaga is here in a, you know, Native American land bubble, OK, and they're just doing something that's not right in that bubble. They're just grabbing money near a casino just as dirty as can possibly be. Just grab money, grab the television dollars. And it doesn't feel like the protocols are being fired, followed because, you know, young kids are going to show fewer, fewer sicknesses. It's not an immunity necessarily, but they've got a bubble there and it's gross.

[00:10:47]

The is growing. The NFL one feels icky and that is a capitalistic venture. But college football is, too. But it's supposed to not feel that way. College football just generally feels icky because of how they're taking advantage of kids. College football leaves me all sorts of conflicted. That is until kickoff time. And I've got Sparty money line. Yeah, it's fun.

[00:11:09]

I mean, I've enjoyed the games, but I think that's where because the the NFL guys are getting paychecks, the college kids are not. That's where it feels super icky to me. I mean, those people are blasting the NFL for allowing Denver to play that game without a quarterback.

[00:11:24]

What they felt like they were trying to prove a point to Denver because Denver was brazen about it, because both teams played that game without a quarterback.

[00:11:32]

Yeah, a lot of people making that joke. Still, guards here, 20, 20 has changed the world of sports, some teams are adapting to the Times by making changes in their stadiums and arenas, while others are letting fans buy virtual seats in the stands. These changes have created demand for a wide range of unexpected roles, from plexiglass screen installers to video platform support specialists. Whether you have high needs for new positions like these or positions you are already familiar with.

[00:12:02]

There's only one place to go. That place, of course, is zip recruiter. And right now you could drive for free. Zip recruiter dotcom slash.

[00:13:14]

What's in your wallet? Savings and available coupons. Very. And it was feared, by the way, it was hard to watch, it was yeah, it was. It was I can't believe that we got to that point this late in the season. And now the San Francisco 49ers are going to have to find a stadium in Arizona to house their home games because they're to play contact sports. Yeah, because their county won't allow them to play home games there.

[00:13:39]

This is this is late in the season. I forget, like, there are people like fantasy jackpots on the line, gambling on the line. NFL jobs are going to be lost because someone's not going to have a home field advantage. Jobs are going to be lost because someone has to start a wide receiver at quarterback. It is such a mutation of the integrity of the sport. And I guess you just have to grade it for what it is. How well can we survive this wacky season?

[00:14:05]

Can you survive on the road against Jacksonville with no practice and your best offensive player with covid? Can you survive that?

[00:14:12]

I want to ask you guys something because I thought of some of the underrated funny in the call that Mike did on the USC Duke game. Play it one more time here so I can see Tony laugh till he snorts again. And I want to get a I want to get a vote from Tony on what is the single funniest thing in here.

[00:14:33]

But let's hear that again, 27 24 squib kick. Just pull down on it or whatever. No, they're going to try the lateral, pass it to the other side of the field. This never works. Cut by Cornell, their pitches are back to Jacqueline Johnson at the Miami Thirty, delaying the inevitable. Looking for a block pitcher so backwards as many laterals, no bounce pass interference penalties on that last run. Woolton, no pictures of back to Johnson.

[00:14:57]

Guess we're going to keep going with this. Toss it back. Here comes another pitch. Cornilles or has it throws it back to the plumber's number one goal line. Tell us we're looking for a block. Gets one. Definitely not a block in the back. He throws it across to the thirty to go another big legal block. He's got it to the forty corner older crossing. He'll do those who goes midfield for another three to go to the forty speeding ticket.

[00:15:22]

How come. You know I feel the sideline. So your kid has ringworm teddy bear holder inside the gun which I don't know his other than his and the boy Lyndie Scott. My my. It is Tony.

[00:15:43]

You got to pick one. Only one. I know it's hard because it's just jokes stacked on top of joke. How do you pick one from speeding ticket fake Howard. Just Bajada red zone. Yeah. Around the clock, guys.

[00:15:54]

Gossman, Chido RedZone. All right. You got everyone to only pick one. And there's a reason I'm doing this, Tony. Pick one. You're only allowed to pick one. Go. I got to go. But that's a little Hugel midfield.

[00:16:05]

I love that. Chris, what do you have? So what, your kid has ringworm, Billy. I like I just like the mention of Dandy.

[00:16:16]

Roy, how about you? Yeah, definitely. Dante Bear student. Gus Bajada RedZone lendee. Eric Scotty Bike.

[00:16:23]

Yes, I like Palazuelos hooligans because it goes to languages, but one of the underrated things in there does it does one of the. What do you think Palazuelos Hugo's means. You want to translate it. Let's hear, let's see how good your Spanish say it again.

[00:16:39]

Palacio de Los Rules. Jewish palace. That is correct. All right, that is exactly right. Lucky guess, one of the ones one of the funniest things in that is the comedic perfection of the name Corne Elder. OK, and the reason I bring this up, so where my daughters have their bar mitzvah corn elder is that funny comedic name. And what I wanted to say to you is if we were talking about the dirty of college basketball, if we're here in bare naked greed situation where college basketball is just grabbing it money, can I give you a funnier place to put the bubble in terms of name than Mohegan Sun?

[00:17:31]

Like, honest to God, tell me, is somebody somebody give me like a new one. I give you Mohegan Sun. You're like, oh, OK. We got said gambling. We got we've got some blackjack tables that might be stuck in the 80s. We have. And I don't know if any of this is true.

[00:17:48]

That's a nice casino, though. The one that got me, because they're not doing like I don't think they're doing the Maui Invitational. They're not doing Atlantes. They're not doing Puerto Rico. I turned on the TV one day and there was a Fort Myers tip off.

[00:18:01]

I is is famous for being like the halfway point when you're driving from Miami to Orlando. So rest up.

[00:18:09]

There's nothing there other than a rest stop. They run the entire government out of a rest stop.

[00:18:13]

It's a rest stop in the broken egg. Wait, the zags are playing in this one. Oh, my gosh. They're in the Fort Myers tip off the zags, Mike, because Florida is allowing anything my help me.

[00:18:24]

And that is part of it. Mike, help me with where the Mohegan Sun is.

[00:18:29]

Yeah, it's one of the big hot spots. Yeah. Yeah. You've never done the thing where you go to ESPN and there's nothing in doing brisling. You hit the road to Mohegan Sun.

[00:18:37]

Yeah, it's like Connecticut, like.

[00:18:39]

OK, so I want to ask you guys not having been there because I'm not sure why this is for me, the Mohegan Sun brand, because I don't have any experience with the Mohegan Sun. I've just got the experience that I do with, you know, Native American gambling here in South Florida. But the Mohegan Sun, what I imagine, OK, it has when you walk in, this is what I imagine a film on it. There's just a film on everything, including your face as you walk in and you walk into something that is dusty.

[00:19:13]

And just a note, less than one night you're sleeping on the Mohegan Sun Casino.

[00:19:18]

This is one of the top of the notch casinos.

[00:19:20]

But I'm saying by name, there's something I'm doing there. And I think you're thinking Miccosukee, perhaps maybe you're just thinking of what it used to be.

[00:19:27]

Yeah, well, Miccosukee used to be, but Mohegan Sun, they have a world class entertainment facility. Then they they're home to the Connecticut Sun, which used to be the Miami Soul.

[00:19:36]

They have one of the nicest golf courses in America. They want Supernus. But I'm asking you guys what I'm doing there because I've never been to the casinos. It's on you're doing I don't know anything about the Mohegan Sun, but I don't think of this as Vegas casinos. I think of this feeling like downtown Vegas casinos where it's 399 Buffet doing just Connecticut casino.

[00:19:56]

Here's a steak. I'm just doing Connecticut. Really. It's not just Connecticut Casino. I'm doing Connecticut. It's just class represented by Applebee's or Friday.

[00:20:05]

And this is this is home to Michael Jordan's steakhouse.

[00:20:09]

So the Mohegan Sun is getting all that gambling money and they're buying real class.

[00:20:14]

Yeah, they keep renovating. There's so much money being pumped into it. They just got done with a recent renovation. I'm telling you, every time you make the drive from the Hartford Airport to Bristol, you see all these billboards and they're like, wow, Justin Timberlake, explain this place. What is this?

[00:20:28]

In fact, I would go the other way and say, if you're going to be in a bubble, the Mohegan Sun is probably one of the five places in America you want to be. I'd rather be there than Fort Myers.

[00:20:36]

Well, what about like the Bahamas?

[00:20:37]

Isn't that usually where they've done something, done the Atlantis, which could be a little, hey, where are they playing this? And you've got the Atlantis being a little sad as well, because they do it in like that that ballroom, although I think they added a sports facility there. Fort Myers has to be the worst, like, are they playing this at the rest stop?

[00:20:52]

There is an old movie with Ben Affleck and Dana Stubblefield, the former 49ers tackle Reindeer Games, who has he's in jail now for an awful crime and he's going to be in jail for a long time.

[00:21:09]

But a reindeer games that Mike mentioned, and that's the casino I'm thinking of, Mike, when I think of the Mohegan Sun, one of these one of these sad of course, there everything smells like cigarettes, right? You're thinking Seminole. Coconut Creek.

[00:21:25]

Yeah, yeah. Go. Yes, yes. Something like something like that. Now, how do you explain to the audience what Seminole Coconut Creek. Yes, that's what I'm thinking.

[00:21:36]

Is the old Seminole, because it was for a while the old Seminole Casino that was pre existing before they built the new hard rock and everything. The whole. Rock is beautiful. Yeah, but, you know, old casino, I think it's still there, just like it is still there, though there used to be.

[00:21:51]

So you have have is still so you have the hard rock, the guitar hotel. You still have the place that might just match and then you have some little Coconut Creek. It's in Coconut Creek. So let's just start there, OK? That's where all the old acts play. And there's a very good chance you go to this New York Yankee steakhouse, because it happened to me was when I ordered a porterhouse steak in that ashes on it.

[00:22:12]

I mean, that's just the guy. Yeah, that is a good description. I don't think we're going to do any better than that. I feel like Chris, who is betting the Australian Midnite Donkeys and during the pandemic, Chris, you sounded like you had a little too familiar, a little too much familiarity with the dirty the dirty old room. What are we talking about there? Give us some more description.

[00:22:37]

Oh, it is just it's just you cannot it's the most cigarette smoke per capita in the country. It is. You cannot walk around that place without somebody asking in your eye. And yes, I used to say when I was like 18, 19, I played poker and I was always at that side to the side, not at the main hard rock off the hard rock. It's just it's the saddest place. I think it is sadder than the creek one because they've actually built up that creek one in recent years a little bit.

[00:23:02]

It's a little sad.

[00:23:03]

But that room you leave with emphysema, correct? You come. Yes, you come with your money. You leave with emphysema.

[00:23:08]

There was a smoker's room at Dana Highlight, which was redundant because they allowed smoking everywhere. Yes. And I remember like the first couple of times walking past that I thought that the windows were actually tinted a little bit to protect the people in there and give them some privacy. But no, it was just caked on with cancer.

[00:23:25]

Is that the first is that the first remote we ever did? Like the first party that we ever did? That was a thousand people. And Luther Campbell came out and Stuart's lost some sort of University of Miami bet, just an overunder on wins for the season you had to come out on.

[00:23:42]

I was wheeled out on a gurney without a shirt on like Hannibal Lecter. And. That's right.

[00:23:47]

You had a mask on, right?

[00:23:48]

You had a man who had a mask on and it was to get a Brazilian wax or a chest wax. It was a chest wax. Yeah. Yeah. Luther did most of it. You you took a couple of strips of tape off yourself there, Dad.

[00:23:59]

I felt like I had made it.

[00:24:01]

Let's talk about this for a sec. Really. Hold on a second. So there were a lot of people there.

[00:24:05]

There were I didn't live on the front line like a thousand.

[00:24:08]

Yeah, thousand people hanging from the rafters.

[00:24:11]

But it's not the first time that we ever did an event and looked around and were like, oh, holy shit, this is a lot of people for our stupidity.

[00:24:18]

We made a bet on it. We agreed to do I think we did a free promotion. We we told the guy who ran advertising for that place. And before we get over a thousand, why why do we do it? A ten year highlight, though, was it we wanted to show we can get over it was to show off like that. We can do this anywhere, watch us do it here. Sort of feel good about ourselves.

[00:24:37]

We cross paths because it was on this real highlight kick and we had like a week and a half of shows that were just talking about the glory days of high flying Miami and how that sport was the place to be.

[00:24:48]

It really was in the 80s. Yeah.

[00:24:51]

So while we were having those discussions, I think Miami was playing one of those crazy early schedule years. Yes. And Sigurdson Luther Campbell, who was a rational Kings fan, made a bet on McCain's win total in Miami to Miami. Well, whatever it was, Luther Campbell ended up winning the bet and Sue Godse had to get his chest waxed in front of people. And so we figured, why not being a highlight? Because this is just perfect with everything else that we're talking about.

[00:25:17]

And Dana Highlight was eager to acquiesce.

[00:25:19]

Right. But we did it for free and we told him we get a certain amount. And if we got that certain amount, you would have to become a sponsor of the show. To their credit, we got the amount to our credit, to their credit, they became a big sport. We were trying. It was weird. It was they were very excited. We started we shot a jolt. Marty. Yes, we. How do you explain, Marty, to people who looks like Dana highlight.

[00:25:39]

Yes. Dana highlight in the 80s. Yeah. Why do you guys or any other kind. Right. Well, need a highlight right before we got there, it was still doing the highlights one morning, it was cool. That's what more when party can get you tickets. I'm talking about a party in the 80s. You're talking about a short sleeve shirt that is beige that he's wearing with a tie. Correct. And and he is rocking in the 80s.

[00:26:04]

You need dinner reservations. You're coming in. You heard Shula and Dupere will be there. Yeah, there was this and Don Johnson is coming to film something from Miami Vice because of how successful the got execution went.

[00:26:18]

We decided to partner up with the new highlight and hosts monthly poker tournaments at Denia Haylie and they went great. It turned into a partnership and I think a little like the eighth edition. I got kind of bored of just waiting around I would ever play in these things. So I took an executive tour of the luxury boxes Adania, Hailie. And you actually have to walk through Stargate. Not a lot of people know this. You walk through Stargate and you go up and there are dead rats everywhere, just all over the floor.

[00:26:47]

And you just sort of have to envision sort of like the shining, where you look at an old picture and it sort of transports it.

[00:26:53]

Could you see the glory of the 80s in there? But nobody's been in there in thirty years. Oh, yeah. You can see it was just like it was like a newly discovered subway abandoned subway station from the old New York days where there's just webs everywhere. No, why were they? Why were they? Because I was just bored and I was like, hey, can I walk around a little bit? And they took me around and they would man, this is where Dooper used to sit and it feel haunted.

[00:27:18]

It did. Well, that's because I actually saw ghosts.

[00:27:21]

I imagine a ghost looking like Marty. Yes. It was just Marty walking towards me. I was like, why are you scared? The shit could have been a cloud of smoke. Yeah.

[00:27:34]

To celebrate St. Bart's surprisingly great race. We gave this game day jam surprising. I was afraid to read it and I hate it. I want a way to save the man who writes Dick. Yeah, they're great state by state by state, they can make like a good neighbor State Farm is there.

[00:28:02]

I remember being in your favorite sport clips, getting set for that great MVP haircut experience. Yeah. How about if we made that wait even shorter now with sport clips on deck, text alerts, when you check in online or with our app, we'll text you a 15 minute heads up when it's time to head in. And when you're the next man up, you'll get another text. Come take your seat less wait time more prime time sport clips.

[00:28:30]

It's good to be a guy.

[00:28:36]

Not high life, and it's still going right, they still oh, it's gone, renovated for the 15th. Everyone's just sitting on these licenses, they're all just sitting on these licenses. It's sort of like, you know, how like Baptists of South Florida isn't really like a a hospital company. It's really like the biggest real estate developer. And they just have like hospitals for is the right to gamble. Yeah, they just yeah. What they have is a right to gamble.

[00:29:00]

Basically the way that, you know, Baptist sits on an empty parking lot for 15 years until they can develop it. All of these people, all these investors that come and go, they got the gambling license and they're just waiting for the sports books.

[00:29:11]

Chris, give us more details. Were you gambling at noon in the sad, smoky casino? I want to hear you're 19 years old and they let you in at 18. They're so this is rebellious. Chris Cody, I'll let you know that he he's learning to drink.

[00:29:27]

He's learning to have fun library. And so you go and you take inventory of what your life has become as you look around the smoky room and you say, I'm a degenerate or there's something wrong with me, I'm sad or did you just love it?

[00:29:41]

Well, at the time I loved it and I thought I was going to be the next Chris Moneymaker because this was like right at the time of the poker boom. I believe at one point I was so into poker that I went and played a poker tournament one Saturday evening that I miss the family dinner. And my parents, my aunt and my uncle and my grandma came and visited me and watched me play like ten minutes of poker at that sad casino.

[00:30:03]

And I remember at that point being like, you guys need to go. I'm sad. This whole experience has just made me really sad because I know deep down that I'm not good at poker. I make you guys enjoy. You had a nice dinner and then you came to this smoky place just to support your degenerate son who skipped dinner for this. It's just a dark time in my life.

[00:30:23]

Well, I'm guessing you were this were you do poker guy the beginning. Were you trying to go back to class ship that you can flip it around your hand?

[00:30:32]

I hate that guy.

[00:30:33]

I would bring a backpack, I would have a backpack, and I would put it on my chair, even though I lived like four minutes from the place. Like most people with backpacks were people that were like traveling for like I just thought it was I don't know, I was a douche bag. I don't know what else.

[00:30:46]

But the poker room was actually really nice, especially compared to the tobacco room. That's where we started.

[00:30:53]

Okay, so all of these places are said. All of these places have a film on them. All of them are cancerous or emphysema. So yeah. But tell them specifically about the room of leprosy, the room where you've got stains on the walls, smoky gray stains on the glass wall, on the glass walls, because so many people have gotten cancer in that room.

[00:31:14]

I would say the two worst rooms in South Florida are the room that Mike is about to describe and the smoking room at the Miami International Airport.

[00:31:22]

It's kind of the same same family actually back.

[00:31:25]

But you can eat at the airport, taxi back the taxi bathroom mirror where Roy jumped into the arms of Alex down, up after Greg Takamori touchdown.

[00:31:34]

Yeah, well, actually, bathroom, where the highlight of walking to it would be passing by. Sheila was always wearing a neck brace. Oh, is that a neck injury? After that? It would just be a downhill trajectory either way. So like the tobacco room, one side tobacco. But if you were approaching it from the left, it just said Acco. So you had no real idea. And there was smoking everywhere. There wasn't supposed to be, but the entire place smelled like cigarette smoke.

[00:31:57]

So you were maybe there wasn't smoking allowed and just the smell of cigarette smoke was just emanating from this one room that if you ran your finger across the glass doors, yes, there would be a yellow residue on your finger and you would always look in and you try to see through this, you couldn't see it, and it felt like somebody was barbecuing in there in an enclosed space.

[00:32:18]

Yeah, it looked like, you know, like mist in the Congo jungle. You were driving. You didn't know if it was like an eighty year old person with an oxygen tank or silverback gorilla there.

[00:32:28]

What chances were. No, no. How often was it that eighty year old guy with an oxygen tank because he was rolling through there also has a drinking machinery?

[00:32:37]

The one thing that shouldn't be in that tobacco room is an oxygen tank. I mean I mean, maybe if you want to walk in is a neutral and just explore. Maybe that's where the monolith went. I'm not exactly sure. But there were old school closed circuit televisions in here. I remember making that observation because up before paper view, it was a glamour room. There was the closed circuit television. That's where you would watch these in demand events, Roy Jones Jr.

[00:33:01]

against Mike Tyson. But back when you would have wanted to watch them fight, right?

[00:33:04]

Yes. Yeah, there were a lot of people that wanted to watch that fight. This time. I was shocked at where we are.

[00:33:09]

Ten million dollars for Mike Tyson for that fight, really. And million. Roy Jones Junior got three million.

[00:33:14]

Sidney Robinson get is it enough to cover the medical bills? Magic Johnson? I don't know if he did this on purpose, but he's great.

[00:33:22]

He's talking history last night praying for Nate Robinson, who got knocked down by a YouTube. I lost one hundred dollars on that bet.

[00:33:32]

I owe him a hundred dollars. Wait a minute. No. Wait a minute, I got to tell people this, this is part of my you guys bet that listen to me, this is where my awful weekend started. I simply wanted to go down the path of gambling degeneracy by opening the bidding. This is my first snort of cocaine with Mike Ryan because I wanted to offer this sentence to Mike Ryan so we could talk on the show about this is me entering the gambling realm and Mike Ryan pulling me into the depths.

[00:34:00]

Mike put a hundy on Nate Robinson for me.

[00:34:04]

I owe you a hundred dollars. He was plus 170 and all I saw was the Meems when I woke up in the morning of him face first on the floor, knowing nothing, the entire hundred dollar bet was was built on the foundation of if Nate Robinson was that short, he has to be tough.

[00:34:23]

If he made it to the heights of professional athletics, that's all we were doing. Nothing about the ball. Can't be because he's a YouTube. Yeah, but I've seen Jake Po box. I was actually surprised that the line was closer because Jake Paul gets respect and if he doesn't, he certainly has it. Now, Nic Robertson just I mean, just totally, weirdly aggressive falls on his face. But either way, Dania Haylie had closed circuit television, which I read about.

[00:34:48]

If someone wanted to watch wrestle mania, let's say they couldn't just in the early days order it at their home. They would have to go to a place that had closed circuit televisions and watch with a group of people. And apparently the luxurious Acco room, Adania Haili was one of these places where you could watch a closed circuit fight or event or race or what have you. But there is absolutely cancer lining the walls. That's instead of wallpaper or paint.

[00:35:14]

It's just cancer, right? They went to Sherman Williams and pick the cancer color and it is there on the walls and whatever smell wafts throughout, they did urine, both the smell and the color, faded urine.

[00:35:27]

The smell wafts throughout the entire fronton, which I was told there was no smoking. And yet there was smells like disease. It all emanated from this horrible room that hadn't been cleaned. It hadn't been cleaned in years. Needs to be fumigated. Yeah, but the luxurious poker room was so nice in comparison. You if you don't do the dollar beers because you're going to have to pay, don't get up from the poker. Don't go to the bathroom.

[00:35:53]

Don't just stay there. Don't I. Chris, did you have the dollar hot dogs. Oh, did I have the dollar.

[00:36:07]

Que question.
