The Tiggle Report

FivetoNine Podcast: Welcome into the five to nine podcast. ⁓ if you're nine if you're in your nine to five, we're you know, hoping to make that a little bit better. I like a more like a five to nine, ⁓ if you're already at that point. ⁓ I hope you're just kinda along with us anyways and enjoy. ⁓ last episode we had the the World Cup connoisseur and and Jackson join late. Now we got the the tennis connoisseur, the fuzz readings, if you will, I think we call ⁓ in the group chat, Liam. ⁓ another guy from my pledge class, two for two on the the spring pledge class ⁓ guest appearances. So ⁓ Liam, ⁓ good to have you and I'm excited to ⁓ obviously you and I have had our our tennis betting runs, but ⁓ Jackson l knows what, little little to none about tennis. So ⁓ what that's It's a ⁓ it's a perfect time to to have you on, man. Yeah, man. Appreciate you guys having me on. ⁓ excited to talk about Wimbledon, man. It's where it all began on grass. So it's ⁓ be a little bit different of a tournament from from the French open, Rolling Garros where we just were. ⁓ But you know, it's it's fun. You know, getting into tennis, you know, just like Jackson says, golf is fun. Tennis is also fun if you really get into it. So excited to excited to talk about this. Yeah. So I ⁓ mean To to ask you a question, Liam, I feel like you gave your Wimbledon picks a couple days ago or something like that. You got a big name or two in there. ⁓ but Draper's in there, isn't he? Jack Draper. What goes into like throwing a little bit, even if it's a sprinkle, like on guys like that that are maybe a little bit like less proven, I guess? Yeah. I mean, first of all, I mean, if you're taking Yannick Center, I mean, go ahead. But I mean, we just saw at the French Open the guy cramps more than a middle schooler that doesn't drink before a before a bit soccer game, whatever. Like it's it's ridiculous. He's I mean he's wearing an ice jacket this week ⁓ during training so he doesn't overheat. It's like that's nuts. I saw you say that's literally insane. Who's who's the NBA player? Is it Alo is it or is it Cade that gets the cramps? Both of ⁓ mainly Yeah, so I don't know, man. I it grass is a very interesting ⁓ surface, right? Because your serve is just so much faster. It skips off that ⁓ off that grass so much faster than clay. ⁓ hardcore is a little bit ⁓ fast too, but a lot easier to get a return. The ball doesn't move as much. It's pretty straight. ⁓ so there's just a lot of fine more fine margins, I guess. ⁓ so taking a a shot on somebody a little bit longer, if they can just edge out the fine margins, you know, they're gonna they're gonna go far. It takes a little bit of luck, but French Open by far takes the most skill. ⁓ you know, you that's why you saw, you know, Nadal just being so much better than everybody for so many years on the clay. ⁓ the grass is just gonna you're gonna see a lot of tie breaks. ⁓ so when I when I send my send my picks into ⁓ into the group chat, you're gonna see a lot of like yes tie break just because there's gonna be such fine margins. So Draper, home country, you know, getting him at plus three thousand. ⁓ he's got Andy Murray, the legend, who Maybe has Jackson heard of him before? Andy Murray? Yes. I've heard of Jackson. You know him. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. Yeah, I know Andy Murray. He's in the box ⁓ now for Draper. You know, you hope he's healthy. If he's not, it's a gonna be a wash of a pick. But ⁓ if he's healthy, he's you know, he he reached f number four in the world. ⁓ so just seeing, you know, how how he can get behind his, you know, his London crowd and and see what he can do there. I mean, he's paying Andy Murray a hundred K a week, so Hopefully that means something. We'll see. Yeah, he wants it. Yeah, to coach him. Hundred K a week. Holy retirement bag, dude. That's a great game. Yeah, no joke. No joke. So in the box and watch some tennis. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of joke, I mean joke. Stupid stupid question, but I'm it when it comes to tennis, I am stupid. So you talk about it being on grass or clay or whatnot, like This may sound really dumb, but like when they're playing on grass like it's legit like soil with grass on top, just really tightly mowed, or like what does that mean? Yeah, you almost want to think about like their I mean it's it's a little bit shorter, but like just think about like a a putting green. I mean that was literally my next question to go off of. Like compared to like a putting green which is very tightly mowed, like I just feel like when you're heading a test ball Okay, so the sand helps make it firm because I was gonna say, like when you're hitting a tennis ball, what, like a hundred twenty, hundred and fifteen miles per hour? Like I feel like that would leave big, like, dents in it. Yeah. Yep. So you're gonna have some sand underneath that. ⁓ yeah, and yeah, like to your point, hundred fifteen, hundred and twenty. I mean, gosh, I mean Ben and a guy named Pericard, I mean, they're gonna get their serves up to on grass a hundred thirty miles an hour. Shout out Ben. So we do love we love Ben we love Ben on the five to nine podcast. Real real American Patriot there. So should we add him to the list, Jackson? We have what? We have Mac McClung. Ben ⁓ and Justin Gagey. ⁓ Mac Mac McClung. That's the third one. McClung yeah, McClung's on there too. Yeah. Mac McClung, Virginia Virginia legend, Gate City legend. Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ it I mean the second thing this guy knows behind tennis is anything from Virginia. It's a a football team, a a government bill passed into effect. Like it does not matter. He covers all corners of Virginia. He is the Virginia man. I represent. I represent. So and speaking of Gagey, I was at the UFC White House, so that was awesome. Yeah. This this dude was at UFC Freedom two fifty. Yeah, so I was I was on real. ⁓ heart heart drops the next day when I saw the ⁓ the the attempt at the attack, but ⁓ but we made it through. So it was a good time. Yeah. So girlfriend is now hooked on UFC. She watched two rounds of Gaiche Taporia and she's like, yeah, we have to come more. That's sound. All right, let's go. That was exactly how I feel. Cause like I've you know I've been with ⁓ y'all for a while through college and stuff. ⁓ for y'all's that for y'all that don't know, Liam was with us in college as well. and so like I've we've watched every sport under the sun, but like UFC Like I've watched even some of the contender series, you know, mainly out of ⁓ certain needs, but like I never really quite clicked with it until watching that last card. And I know a lot of people have said it's like one of the best cards. They've seen specific fights, ⁓ and legends in the last two. ⁓ you know, obviously were huge, but like I like that it was to the point where afterwards, like in the now two weeks since, like I've just been watching like straight UFC like full, like ⁓ like Highlights from like the past, like full like match highlights. ⁓ I've been kind of hooked on it. Like I think that is that may make me fall in love with UFC. That was so like sick to watch. Everyone has their cars. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone everyone has their cars. It's gotta be the point. Yeah. Like I I mean I've watched UFC for this point probably yeah, twelve years, but like Of those twelve years, you know, ⁓ quite a few of them I was just I was just watching because my friends would watch or whatever. But everybody has like their card. ⁓ and so that that that very well could be yours where you're just like, Yeah, I'm I'm hooked. Like you know, you just get Yeah. Yeah. But it was top to bottom, it was just entertainment, just pure entertainment. And for sure. Well, dude, and something about the way like obviously like, you know Walking out of the walking out of the White House like, you know, like having the American flag draped around you reading the Declaration of Independence, that was hard as fuck. But like it was also just the way that like Justin fights specifically. Like his fight style, I think really is what interests me and why I specifically went back and watched old highlights of different people he's fought. Like I just like he I don't know, like he he just A, I mean, he seems to have hands filled with cement. Like he punches hard like that was shown clearly by the fact like now knowing after the fight and looking back to history like nothing like that had ever happened to Taporia. But that's ⁓ shit we could get a surprise. Let's go. What's up? What's up? What's up? We got the four box for the first time. Yeah. The quad? The quad box, yeah. We're in like red zone right now. And it's the witching hour. Yeah, this is the witching hour. Especially when Tapor. I had my fellow tennis my fellow tennis guy now. Yeah, I gonna say now we can get some real tennis banter in here. Yeah. But yeah, no jack so you have any long shots? Try to supply as much as I can. I've been I've been holding it down for you, Todd. You know me. Connoisseur. We Todd's a Todd's a big Shelton fan as well. ⁓ I mean I like that. So like what he's alright, I like ⁓ like I'm I'll roof Todd's a big Holgerona guy. I do love Holger. That's in one ear out the other. Is Times like one of the worst sports ever for taking underdogs? Like, I feel like it's always just the favorites or top odds players that end up winning. Like it never feels like there's a big long shot. Probably pretty accurate. I mean, you got your guys, it's just like they just it's a five set match too. That's like that's the thing, is that like anybody can take it sound like you can you can yeah. Yeah. Anybody can take two sets what I do remember seeing 'cause that I mean Cinner lost. Yeah. Which was like it was and Cinner Cinner like was like the live odds to when the other guy was down the most was like the you could put like ten bucks win like four million dollars, I think. It was it was some insane odds. I saw like a post about how like it the the Nets winning the NBA finals had less odds than that dude beating Cinner. Yep. Which is just wild. Yeah. Like like Jim said, you can only like you could win a set or two off of some of these big dogs, but like no one's betting that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And like and the thing about it too is Bonga was playing like LeBron to twenty one in basketball and and LeBron was up like nineteen to four at the time, and then Isaac Bonga came back and won. Like that's basically I mean maybe not Isaac Bonga, but like you get the idea. Noah Senge, maybe? Maybe a Senge. Yeah. Or Senge would win that straight out. Sunge's famous. What's that? ⁓ Caleb Wilson, hey. Yeah. Yeah, he center doesn't lose to people ever. Like Alcaraz, even when Alcaraz is on it, like Alcaraz drops some weird matches. Center doesn't do that. And then you have the ⁓ the from the betting perspective in terms of you're like no one would take Sarundalo if center were just simply retires. It just voids like nobody there's no there's no betting loss or win, so that that's also factored in. But he didn't he didn't give up, so for him just retiring? Like like Yeah, retiring from the match, yeah. Like you get injured. ⁓ Like, why is that baked into the odds, that possibility? No, no, just retiring from the match. Yeah. ⁓ ⁓ so is is is Alcarez back in this one or is he still hurt? Still hurt. ⁓ yeah, wrist injuries are wrist injuries are really tough with tennis. ⁓ I'd imagine. You just really have to hope he's ho healthy for the US Open because the longer he has off, it's just clearly not good. And it's weird to know you when he got injured. Huh? Yeah, when he got injured, it just you couldn't even tell. Yeah. So like what do you even do then with this tournament? So there's no Alcaraz, so like do you just try and take center to get his get back after what happened in the last tournament? Yeah, I mean it's tough, but you see there's like the weather right now in London is pretty hot, so it's like, Are you really gonna tempt fate again, take him again, you know, hoping that he doesn't cramp up? Because it's clearly a conditioning issue that's not gonna be fixed anytime soon. So It's not the other dude he's also minus money to win the entire thing. So like you're betting on a guy to win the entire tournament who's favorited to do so. This is a sen this is like prime tiger woods when he was in tournaments. There were tournaments where Tiger would go into the week at like even odds at minus one twenty. You could have got center like before the French open at like it was like minus three eighty to win the Wimble Day. Jesus. Yeah, and it came it came all the way back down. And and the thing about it too is, okay, he he fixes everything. He ends up in the final. Let's say he in the finals playing Joker. He's only gonna be like minus two fifty against Joker. Like it's like he's minus one sixty five to win the whole thing. His odds, like you said Joker's gotta be old as hell, right? He is, he is. But it's grass, so it's a lot easier on the body. Okay. So is gr what's the easiest surface? I could ask you and Todd both what's the easiest and Tommy if if Tommy has any insight as well, what's the easiest surface to play on? It's grass. Hardcore. Hardcore. I'd say hardcore. Yeah, I don't know. Easiest to like yeah. The ball grass is just it's just a fine margin. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Yeah. So are there four like golf? Are there four majors of tennis? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Are they each with a different surface too? ⁓ there's two hardcore Australian S I do. All right. Yeah. Variety. Yeah. The last one was clay, right? In France? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep. Okay. So I feel like I would hate Yeah, you just gotta take take a take a couple darts and and see. Couple darts? Yeah, coup yeah, a couple darts. Yeah, no, I'm taking I'm taking Draper like Tommy said earlier. ⁓ thought thoughts on thoughts on Draper Tod. American, right? No, he's br he's British. Yeah. ⁓ no, no thoughts. No thoughts. Nothing that's No thoughts on Draco. What a press conference. Absolutely nothing. Shock him chalk him now. Shock him now. I'm taking I'm taking Joker 'cause this is his last chance. He wins this one. He has the most grand slams of all time. ⁓ so we'll we'll see. That'd be number twenty five, I believe. So he's at like plus five hundred. I'm I'm willing to take him 'cause his body won't break down as quickly on grass. I'm gonna take Shelton. Hopefully everybody can ride with me there. Fritz, we'll see. We'll see how the how the knee holds up. I'm kinda weary now. He pulled out of the tournament this week, so ⁓ might not take him anymore. And then ⁓ it's gonna take ⁓ long shot, ⁓ plus twelve thousand. Grigor Dimitrov, he was ⁓ Todd, you remember he was up two sets to nothing on center at Wimbledon last year. I do remember Dimitrov. I do remember. And then he he ⁓ he he hit a forehand, dislocated his shoulder, had to withdraw. All right, is this a I found I think what I would think as the average dumb person, it's actually going over to the women's side of tennis. It is the big three versus the field Sabalenka, Suetech, and Rybionkina. Versus the field. Minus minus one twenty five. The field ain't winning. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Sabalenka, Suatech, and this other bitch sorry, not other woman. is it just give me one of those three, dude. Pro probably, right, but then you have Andrieva who did just win the French. ⁓ she's not going back to back. She might not, but Sabalenka, she's just been I mean she's been a mess. I mean she was up huge. Yeah, she was up huge in the quarters of the semis. I think it was the quarters ⁓ at Rolling Garros and just lost ten straight games, lost ⁓ lost the match. So I don't know. We got we got Serena back. Are Venus and Serena playing or no? Venus and Serena are playing doubles, but Serena's also playing singles. No way. She's gonna get bounced. She will eventually, but fifty. She's forty-four. Jesus. But she her serve is good enough, and because it's grass, like she's probably the state of women's tennis right now, just the the top twenty are like pretty decent. But I mean she can probably skate herself to the quarters, to be honest with you. Okay. We'll see. Then probably new talent, but someone's gotta do it. I'm a root against her. If you're looking at the odds, tell me what tell me what tell me what tell me what Victoria Inboco is, odds wise. If you have a to win the whole kit in caboodle? Yeah. ⁓ let's see. How about half the caboodle? Yeah, what? Victoria's reach the final. Dog, is this is this like her first match ever? What is it? No. She's not on there. She might have withdrawn. She got hurt two weeks ago. I'm not like I'm not I see Serena at 4,000. That seems like a sucker, bad. She should be like six, seven, eight odds. Yeah, I think she withdrew, to be honest. Yeah, she probably did. She got hurt. She was playing with Serena in doubles last week and got hurt, so she might not be playing in double. I feel like at least the women's side. The tennis odds are like simil kind of similar to golf. Like there's different kind of r props around stuff you can do with it, but then the outrights at least ⁓ you know, you got one it plus three fifty, then it's like eight hundred, fifteen hundred. Yep. Pretty accurate. Segway into golf. Segway pipeline into Windham Dark. You know what we do things? Give me your give me your traveler's picks, man. And I know you wanted to mention Windy as well, Mr. Clark. Yeah, we gotta mention Wyndham Clark. ⁓ news came out that ⁓ today that he got ⁓ his girl cheated on him with b ⁓ with Baker Mayfield. Insane. So ⁓ and and somehow I guess that made that that made him a lot more likable. I saw nothing I I saw nothing but like I'm a fan of Wyndham now, so I guess that's all it takes, dude. Have your girl go cheap with like a huh? That was a while ago. That happened in the past, right? Well That was yeah, that was another story because it was the girl when he won his first US Open, crazy to say, as Wyndham Clark is now a two time major winner. That's just wild. But when he won his first, he got a picture with a different girl with the trophy. That's the girl that everyone thinks cheated on with Baker. But his new girl now, Emily Tanner, ⁓ kind of an upgrade if we're if we're gonna be realistic here. Good. Good. I'll put I'll put y'all on game real quick. Wyndham I mean Windham is is he ⁓ is he ⁓ a ⁓ West Florida native? Like is he a Tampa Bay man? Is Wyndham from Florida? I don't know, dude. He sounds kinda like ⁓ he almost sounds like he's from Canada, dude. His voice is kind of annoying. We got ⁓ the lovely Emily Tanner with Wyndham here. I think Wyndham's just ⁓ Windham is just a California guy. Yeah, ⁓ yeah, he's yeah, he is that's where he won his first US open. Yeah, so shout out to Wendham. I mean, this year he's wrong. Wendell is a Denver, Colorado guy. That it that makes so much sense. That makes so much sense. Liam could have said anywhere everyone. We hate Denver Jackson would have said God, that makes so much sense, bro. You if Liam said that he was from Missouri, I would have spun around in my chair, dude. Like there's no possible way he's from anywhere in the South. Down the street and how upset would you guys be if your Q if your girlfriend cheated on you with your favorite NFL team's QB? Do we get a championship out of it? No. Good question. In fact, they they do bad. Damn it. ⁓ damn. ⁓ Drake may Jackson's quarterback to I mean again, like if it's if it's like a third string, ⁓ favorite player. ⁓ Drake may have it. Have at it. Have at it. Quarterback. Your favorite team's quarterback. Yeah, Caleb can have at it. I know that's your answer, Todd. Drake can have at it. Jalen Hurts, dude, absolutely not. I feel like w we have we have four four like good looking QBs. Like we don't have any ⁓ like Matt. Liam doesn't even care about QBs. He's like Yoshi Yamamoto, bro. He's that's that's who he's thinking of. He wants his baseball player. No, it's it's Shohei. If it's Shohei ⁓ yeah. Joe Hey, O Tawny, the greatest day. Let's see what he's doing right now. Let's see what he's cooking up right now. Dude, he's probably 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. PCA meanwhile has got like three bugs. He's pitching, Jackson. PCA has the most home runs he can get. Otani's getting shelled, dude. Holy Pearl Harbor. That was bad joke. That was funny. I'll take my I'll take my licks. ⁓ but yeah, so ⁓ travelers championship about that. weird tournament because you got this idiot Scotty Shuffler who just refuses to win but messes up all the plans because he sits in there, you know, like a fat duck at plus three hundred every single week. He doesn't win, so you either gotta, you know light your hair on fire and risk it avoiding him. or you gotta just take in a without Scotty Market. I'm choosing to avoid him 'cause I don't want to take him at those odds. ⁓ but you'll look I you know, I've some of my followers have said it's an addiction, ⁓ that I'm an idio at an idiot and an idio. I I combined idiotic with idiot and it came out like a you know it it was horrible. But Regardless. ⁓ it's Ludwig O'Burg yet again. ⁓ I can't get off the Ludwig train. and I think there's a I think he's kind of flying under the radar a bit here. But I like him. I like I like Figala. ⁓ I think Figala could have a good week. He was good at the US Open. Good week. Good week for him. But on I I don't know, man. It's just this is a good tournament though. This is this tournament it it always goes to a playoff. It always is like coming down to the last stroke. This is where Jordan Speed chipped in to win. ⁓ back in the of Shout out Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, shout out this is where Tommy Fleetwood got his heart broken last year for like the millionth time before he then won a few months later. ⁓ he could win this. About what? That win for Tommy now that it's going to match play. ⁓ yeah, dude. I mean that's and that's been the major news. This week, like it kind of threw me off my game of even researching the tournament because the PGA is ⁓ changing their entire format of how they're gonna do things. They're essentially gonna have like twin serpent leagues, like they're gonna have one top champion. It's it's literally gonna be like the Premier League versus the Champion League or Champions League, whatever it is. ⁓ cause now there's gonna be relegation. If you're not in the top ninety, you get your ass sent down. If you're in the top twenty of the smaller one, you get your ass sent up. And the playoff changes potentially with match play. How does that work? Ninety go down, but twenty go up? So there's gonna be no ⁓ no no no. Tops top ninety stay up and anyone ⁓ in the not in the top ninety goes down. Let's get Rory relegated first year. That would be fire. One of one of my what are we doing to get What do they go to the corn ferry? Where do they go? They go so now there's like a level between the corn ferry. There's like college, the corn ferry The Challenger series, which is the new one, and then the championship series. The championship series is basically relegated from the Challenger series in the Corn Fairy and then upgraded from Corn Fairy into the second division. Does that happen? Yeah, like it goes yeah, so P you c you get promoted from the Corn Fairy, you go to the Challenger, you go to the Challenger, you go to champions. Corn Fairy upgrades to the second one. Corn Fairy's a part of this. Yeah. They were already doing that though, Todd. They were already doing kind of the relegation and promotion between Corn Fairy and PGA. But it was always like there there's always been this element where if you play like shit, but there's been so many different loopholes in place, ⁓ and exemptions that players can have where they can kind of just like skate by eventually to the point where they can get enough points to keep their card. But now that it happens every single year and it's a hard cut line, like based solely on performance, there's no more sponsor exemptions, like it's not like, you know, Max Homa who hasn't won in three years is just getting these handouts into these big events, ⁓ It's a hard cut. So it it gives you I love it. I think it gives you storylines at the top and who's winning, who's doing well, and then you have storylines and who's sucking, who's gonna get relegated. Because there's a few like bigger names that would be at risk if it was implemented ⁓ for the season right now. Like who? Like ⁓ like Keegan Bradley, Tony Thinaw, Billy Horschel, not huge guys, but guys that were big and are multiple time winners. ⁓ along with other you know Yeah, Fina, like and they would both Bradley are for sure. Yeah. Yeah, like they ⁓ Bradley was a winner last year, but because I like the fact that it's based on what you've done specifically this season, he hasn't done shit this season and he would be at risk right now ⁓ of getting relegated back down. He has not been the same religion since he decided to not participate. What'd you say? He's not been the same golfer since he decided to not be in the Ryder Cup. ⁓ yeah. No, yeah. He's played like ass. He's also like, you know, I think he's forty five or forty six, but like, yeah, he it that definitely shook his confidence. Do you think guys that are in the live like someone that tr like if Bryson wants to come back, do you think he has to start in the corn ferry and then move his way on up? That's what I think like an underrated part of creating this challenger, I think it naturally gives kind of like a live pipeline. And I think it kills two birds with one stone because you create this challenger series. All the good players are still in the champions, but you want to get eyes on the challenger series. And you want to weigh for okay, live players want to come back. Fine, you got to earn your way back. I think you take all the live players that are interested in coming back and are even, you know, good enough and deserve it, you put them in the challenger series in its first year. So they kind of serve as your show ponies, ⁓ you know, to get eyes on it. Like a guy like John Rom or Bryson in the Challenger series, you know, having to battle their way back to get to the top level of the tour. So it helps kind of get eyes on them that first season and establish it while serving as a natural pipeline or punishment. Okay, yeah, you can come back, but you have to actually earn your way back to the top. You think even with Rom being like world number eight right now, still? I do think so. Just because of their past. stances and how they've acted. Like Brooks Kepka and Patrick Reed specifically jumped ship early and they got offered, you know, lighter punishments. Like Brooks isn't in any of the signature events, but he's actively playing tour events. ⁓ Patrick Reed will be a a ⁓ able to return in August. So coming up ⁓ in a couple months here. But those programs were kind of cut off, ⁓ especially now that the format's changed. So I I think that they would let them come back, but I would not be surprised and I think it would be a good idea even to make them go through it. Rom has proven that he's okay with at least trying to work back some credibility. He's ⁓ he signed an active deal with the DP World Tour to play in their events and between the rest of the live events this season. So I I think he would do it and I think it'd be smart on the PGA. I like that. I I love this new format sounds like like obviously I I don't think there's a way that it that fails. I yeah. And it like you said, I mean, Rom's number eight, but putting him in there draws eyes, like you made yeah. Like a point before ⁓ Liam brought up Rom specifically. I mean they'll have people that you're not just gonna be like I'm not watching the the championship versus the Premier League over in Europe. Yeah. And like you see that and like the system works but no one's watching really the championship. So trying to make that not the case, I guess, with golf. And and maybe wouldn't be regardless, but if you put bigger names in the second tier, like it's Yeah. Well and the guaranteed. And the other thing is that it helps one of the biggest problems I think now with the current PGA tour is everything is too cramped. Like, for example, ⁓ in the current structure, there's eight signature events. Those are supposed to be elevated, get more attention, the big players They have, you know, there's been three times the season in all three majors, there's been a signature event, which is supposed to kind of stand on its own the week before or the week after a major. The Travelers is a signature event, but it's after the US Open. So players don't want to participate in this big time event after they just played the US Open. It's too crammed. You gotta let things breathe. And the idea behind the having the two tours is to have weeks where the PGA the chan the higher levels off. But the lower levels on. So there's always gonna be some level of golf, but it's supposed to be staggered, which I think is a good thing as well. Yeah. Yeah. We got four more months of golf and no more signature events. It's a it's a terrible structure. I know. Like we have we have set we have like seven straight weeks of like the three ⁓ open, the John Deere, like just events where it's like the best player is like number fifty in the world. Like like Michael Thorb Jorensen will like the top ranked player in the John Deere. Shout out Thorb. Yeah. ⁓ but yeah, good I think it's it's a rare thing when a league does something that lines their pockets, which this will ultimately do. It's perfect timing right before they start negotiating a new media deal. ⁓ and it's all just to get more viewership before they get that deal done. But I think it's a rare thing when they do something that helps them make a shit ton of money that also is a good format that I actually enjoy and I think is exciting. Yeah. Where's our TV deal going? I got my money on Prime. Probably Prime. I would not be shocked, especially after they got involved with the Masters this year. Yep. That's exactly where I was thinking. And they're and they're gonna I mean, and they're gonna throw a bajillion dollars. Like you got Bezos over there just throwing pesos around. Like he moves money like it's nothing. Yep, I agree. Anything off of ESPN is a is a dub anyway though. Is Zuck involved with any of the sports? Like is Facebook or Instagram doing anything, or is he just kinda sitting on his hands? I don't think so. ⁓ UFC a little bit if you can sit because the there's the meta ⁓ aspect of it. Like there's there's there's like meta sponsorship within UFC. So I think that would be I saw Facebook was making their own prediction market. Facebook? Interesting. ⁓ my the unks are gonna go crazy. The AI ads for for Facebook prediction markets are gonna be wild. I know. It's gonna be bad. Can I get a Facebook prediction market on the on marketplace too? Just intertwine those something. There's probably a way. You said you said meta's involved with UFC over under like how many years until there's some sort of contact lenses lenses that serve the same purpose as like the meta glasses. ⁓ dude, it could be happening soon. I wouldn't be surprised. I think ⁓ within the next ten years, like imagine that in the UFC. Yeah. I mean the PFL. Justin Gaethy's eyes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean the PFL. You wouldn't be able to see through Taporias. Yeah. No joke. True. ⁓ you're just watching and it's just completely dark. It's just a black screen. Yeah. You see through Dustin. That was the N word out of there. ⁓ my gosh. So bad. That airport clip is awful. So bad. Well speaking of ⁓ airport clips, how about ⁓ Poirier today ⁓ with the police interaction? ⁓ I thought you were saying Justin Gagey had in I thought you were saying Justin like in his past had something like that. Or whatever that was. What race is Poirier? He's white. American. ⁓ okay. Okay. I I couldn't I couldn't tell if he was white or messed Who's gonna stop him? Yeah. ⁓ not me. I mean maybe the pepper spray, but even that's gonna take an extra minute. I don't know who he was messing with. Yeah. He was the bet he was like to the random like chicks that were standing over there, like the workers, he was like, Fuck you and fuck her and fuck her. Dude, if you're like an airport cop, you're not even you're like bottom tier cop. You have like barely any physical training and you gotta like restrain this Paul Lart. Like, dude, I would just quit my job. I just feel like I I there's nothing I can do right now. Good bro, yeah. What about what about the cops that only get bicycles issued to them? I mean dude, the the the the airport cops get nothing. I don't even think they get a gun. They probably just get like they gotta jog around. They might be able to might be able to hitch a ride on the That's not gonna stop like ⁓ terrorist attacks if they don't have guns. They just get like an air horn. Like you know Trying to stop a terrorist with an air horn. They have to pass it around. Everyone gets their turn. Monday Monday you get the gun shift. Tommy's got the gun shift on Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you and if you get run down, then you're just screwed. You have you have no gun. Do they even get a taser? ⁓ probably, surely. Yeah. I I think. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's like fifty. It like kinda shocks you. It's like one of those like that you like you used to pull out the gum and it's just like a little zap. It's like one of those. Actually they just have that. They just have the they have to fake off here you go. Before you do that, take this piece of gum. All they have is the fake gum and a Chinese finger trap. That's all they care about. I'm just glad they're not equipping TSA people. Yeah. Where else do they I mean the like a high school police officer? Like those those officers. Yeah, you have no responsibility. Now you're strapped up. They do get yeah, even they get guns. They get guns. Dude, if I was a responsibilities are low, but I don't know what I would do if I would you be a hero if you're a police officer during a school shooter? That is a as long as you don't die. I don't know, man. ⁓ Busting three kids for vaping. Yeah, like dude, I I don't even know. I would just roam the schools, like I would probably I don't know, I'd probably go in the bathroom. I'd have to like if you were a student or a teacher what? ⁓ no, if I was the police officer, if I was the cop on campus. ⁓ I would low key give my gun to someone else. Somebody's shared gun. One of those kids in the classrooms, one of the class clowns or something wants to be a hero. I'd auction it off. Like there'd be some taker that would want to take the heroes. What are they giving you? Their lunch. I guess that's probably a little too hectic to make it happen. I would start spraying shots and then say I got like I got hit. I got hit. I'm done. Dude, he would just walk over you and shoot you in the face. I don't know, most I feel like most school shooters are like pretty unathletic, so you kinda just gotta f you gotta find them. Yeah. From like behind maybe like I feel like most of them are pretty dumb too. Yeah, it's never really like the smartest guys. Yeah, I mean the brains probably check out there. I mean not many of them even like live. I well I can't imagine many school shooters are like on their way to Harvard when they, you know Commit their shootings. Throw away their Ivy League scholarship. Yeah, like no there's no kids on D one scholarships that are shooting up at school. Yeah. Unless it's in ⁓ great transition. ⁓ to World Pivot. ⁓ shooting on goal. This has been through good World Cup games today. No, I wanted to say before Okay, back to the school shootings. No thoughts on no no no no not stay on the school shootings. Yeah yeah yeah. I was gonna say sorry if you I didn't want to move on too quickly there. No, I was gonna say ⁓ Because Jack or ⁓ Todd didn't have any thoughts on Draper. He obviously has thoughts on ⁓ Caleb Wilson to the Bulls. But before we get there, the other sp ⁓ major team in Chicago, I feel like I'm probably the maybe the hockey guy here. ⁓ well, one of the other major teams, obviously. The other one with a draft re soon that hasn't already happened. They traded away the fourth overall pick. Well, overpaid a guy. Like, they got like a like a the good the dude's good, but The the way that the off season has gone for the NHL is the unrestricted free agents are awful. Like the the list is terrible. And so these these RFAs and some some UFAs are getting insane overpays. Does the that's NHL free agency work kind of like the NBA free agency? Like similar? Yeah, I mean like there's never really sign in trades. There has been one, I think just one, maybe two. ⁓ this offseason, ⁓ Matthew Tichuk was the first sign and trade, I believe. One of the Tichucks was the first sign and trade in like NHL history. Okay. Which obviously Brady now plays for the Panthers. The Panthers are screwed. They have no That's what you were saying earlier. Yeah, they have zero cap space. ⁓ Bobrowski is a an unrestricted free agent. They're no gonna they're gonna have nobody in net. I don't know what they're gonna do. But there's there's players on the market Like Alex Took got sign and trade from ⁓ the Sabres. And the he got in intensely overplayed because he's one of the better players on the market, but these players are just bad. Top ranked where in the NHL? Like a top thirty player? I mean, like, I guess. Like if I list like Ovechkin like Jalen Williams of the Thunder type level. I guess. Like ⁓ like the top player Is Rasmus Anderson from the Golden Knights, who obviously just made a cup final. He's twenty nine. Like he's good. John Carlson from the Ducks is good. Third is Bobrowski from the Panthers. Okay. OV is four. He's OV? Yeah. He's a free agent. Yeah, dude, he's forty, like he's got a couple of he's got like a year. All right, all right. But he'll probably just it it's Washington or bust for him, I feel like. Like that's not a hundred percent, but like No Brady Bucks type shit? No. But number five is Boone Jenner, the center from the Columbus Boon Jackets. Name is Boone Jack. Yeah, Boone Jenner. That's your top sick name. That's your top prospect. Or your top center prospect. Like the top UFA center is a guy that I mean if we look at his elite prospects, which is like the I don't know, the if people don't know that's like the s the you see their point totals and their their stats and whatnot. I mean this guy, sixty seven games. Thirty eight points for a center. That is so bad. Like Liam couldn't handle it, dude. It was that bad he left. Yeah, so bad. It was a top center. Like I mean, this list is just awful. So the guys that are already going, like like Tuck, I I don't know the exact number. So the So where do the Blackhawks and trading the fourth overall pick and involve the Blackhawks do essentially the Blackhawks are a win now. Bedard is the man they're not though. Did they even make the playoffs last year? No, but we're it's it's a different thing. So they're like the wizards this year. Okay. It's I guess it's a wizard. Bedards here's the thing. For and the Sabres are throw are trading players and they're making the right moves. So Bowen Byron's the guy, one of the guys that Chicago got for the fourth overall pick. Buffalo got Louis Crevier and a second rounder and the number four for Bowen Byron and Jordan Greenway. ⁓ I don't know if you read what Dom said earlier. Jordan Greenway was one of the worst contracts that the Sabres had on their roster. And Bowen Byron in of in of himself, like he's good, sure. But like he's not like you're throwing away your future. Like the the Blackhawks are not Like a win now. Yeah. They're trying to get better. They have a young core. Like they're going to be a promising team. But to throw away the fourth overall pick where it's gonna be Gavin McKenna from Penn State, Stenberg. I mean the Sharks are shopping the number two pick, but he's the s the best the second best prospect available. ⁓ some argue he could go number one. And then there's like maybe a couple other guys that are gonna like three, four, five, and then there's a drop off. And so you've just traded yourself out of said drop off or out of said second tier of players to further help your franchise and you're ⁓ you're overpaying a player like biram and so that like the that the tuck ⁓ there's a trade from the blues to the capitals they're overpaying him like this is great for those players because they're getting overpaid. But there's just so many guys, especially UFAs specifically, like unrestricted free agents that are getting overpaid because of like how terrible the market is. Like this hasn't happened Honestly, in like a really a long time. 'Cause like you look at a guy like ⁓ like Ovechkin, he's the fourth overall available, I guess, UFA. He's going back to the Capitals. But like Alex Tuck or Tuck how old is this guy? Like he's what, thirty? Yeah, he's thirty years old and they signed him to an eight year ten and a half million dollar contract. He's playing hockey till he's thirty eight, as of right now. And that's a ten and a half million AAV. Average average annual value. So it like It's just it's ridiculous. Like the only player that you would pay till they're thirty eight is like Connor McDavid. Like on a contract like that. Like you have you have Jagar, one of the best hockey players like ever. He's still he's fifty something, he's playing over in Europe, like in Russia. But like McDavid could play for however long he wants. You know, but other than that, like you're paying this guy till he's thirty eight and you're paying him ten and a half a year. Like he's not worth that. He's simply just not worth it. And and like The Capitals are going all in to try and bring Ovi back and like one last hurrah. But I mean, if it doesn't work, like they're overpaying all these guys to just like they're gonna be in Cap hell for years. So, anyways, Chicago, the Blackhawks fucked up, but the Bulls What is our resident Chicago fan think? The Bulls just drafted Braden Smith from from Purdue. Did they really? Yeah. Interesting. That's a second. That's a pick that happened. Yeah, that is a second round pick right there. That's like that's dude, that That's like an NBA Twitter mock draft type pick, bro. That's just a name people says the Pacers took him. Is he getting tr is it a trade? ⁓ let's see. No, I don't know. Dude, that little Amish boy is gonna take one step wrong in Chicago and we're gonna get a news alert that he's gonna get Kelly Rubber in the streets. Traded him to the Pacers? You didn't acquire him from the Pacers? No, we traded him. Okay. Why do they bother why are Pacers out over two nights? I was about to ask the same question. Since when? Like it's so dumb. Well we do not need primetime viewership of the second round, dude. One of these thirty guys will be good, and the rest are gonna be bummed. I could be gonna be good. I think Travon Brazil's gonna be good. That forward from Arkansas. You could beat Braden Smith one on one. I'm taking I'm taking Angel Reese over half these dudes. The double double queen. She's she That's my girl, dude. She's been improving. I got Reese over Clark. ⁓ all right. Off the court, on the court. I've taken Clark off the court on the court. Okay. Windom? ⁓ my god. Wyndham. Windom Clark. ⁓ Zuby edgefor going in the first round. Of Zoopy Edge of Wy Edgefor leaves. Yeah, they're out. I was saying yeah. They're out. I wasn't out there looking, but I I guess. Looking at Even VJ Edgecoming? Listen to this, dude. TJ it's the ten year anniversary of Carson Wentz tweeting. And says, yo, at Jaleel Okafor, we gotta get this young buck at Ben Simmons a cheesesteak. And then ⁓ Jaleel comments and is Yeah, man, for sure. And someone else replies and is like, You guys are gonna be goats in ten years. Yeah. Like so like ten years. Now ten years has finally come around. Technically he's not wrong. He's just the goat of a different sport. He's a goat fisherman now. Ben Simmons is a goat fisherman. But like Carson went to Jaleel Okafor, like Carson Wentz was never the same after he tore his ACL. Holy bust after bust. But yeah. Jaleel Okafor, bro. Like Okafour, Foltz. I mean, there's a whole string of them. Trading McCain. Yeah. Well, I love I love the Y bounce pick. I love the phylon pick. I did I was shocked he went that far. I thought the Hornets almost ⁓ took him at eighteen. Yeah, Jr. Did see Caleb Wilson was like, I wanna play or I wanna be better than Mike? I was like, let's see what's I think I'm gonna be better than Mike. He probably will be. Caleb's nasty, yeah. No, but he's he's gotta get his sh he's gotta get his shot a little better. That team's gonna be kind of fun. I mean, like again, this could be the most fun play in team they've had. Yeah. Probably the shortest too, all these point guards, man. How tall is Caleb? Is he like six nine, six ten? He's seven three. Same with Noah Sangul. Just like seven three, nine five wingspan. Look at me twin towers. Well, ⁓ so you liked Phylon. You're happy with your picks, obviously, Todd. ⁓ Liam Liam, not the biggest NBA guy in the world. Nope. Nope, I'm not. ⁓ what's not not recovered from gearing box. But yeah, he does like De'Aaron Fox. Yeah. Yeah, De'Aaron Fox fan. Drop D'Aron Drop De Aaron Fox love comments, not hate comments. Yeah, no, we like Fox around here. He's and he's definitely sold them for at least one and a half, arguably two games of that series, but he did seal the ⁓ he did seal the one game they won though. Well, the Kings got their Fox replacement ⁓ with ACOF at seven. Yeah. Yeah yeah. I like that Kings. I know. I I don't know. I think it was it was when they had the light the beam season, just as a casual fan, like you know, like you have teams that you like to see do well even when, you know, well and the Hornets only did well last year, so normally I'm finding other teams to enjoy their seasons vicariously. ⁓ but that light the beam season was fun. It's fun to see the Kings do well and yeah, you know, 'cause they've got to mind. When him and Monk were on the same team again from like Kentucky and then and then ⁓ Sacramento was awesome. He won plus player of year. Yeah. So who do you think ⁓ over the next ten years out of the top four picks, ⁓ Boozer, AJ, Caleb, and Peterson is gonna have the best ⁓ best career over the over the next ten? I mean Todd has his answer, obviously, but I mean I would say I would say AJ or like Caleb's not even a bad shout. Like like honestly, he's not. Like I don't know. Boozer, yeah. National player whatever. But I I just don't think he's gonna be he could be good, but like your question is out of the four. And I don't I think he might be fourth out of the four. Yeah, I think there's gonna be a gap between him and Peterson. Like I mean, I could see it, but ⁓ I don't know. I just don't I I wish Boozer went to more of a I feel like he would have fit more in with a win now team. Like the Grizzlies are just they're gonna be one of the worst five seeds. and like Jaw's done in Memphis. I just saw there's a notification. He's likely, likely done in Memphis. Jaws? Yeah. Huh. He's coming to Chicago. He's dude he's going to be kind of fine. Watch. Lakers, watch. No way. They just they just recently. Disgusting, but Yeah.

He's just a locker room nightmare, dude. Yeah, I mean the Hornets, though. It's like that's who they love. That's true. Like that type of Miles Bridges.

Yeah, we're going I don't go I don't know I don't know if that's like crazy, especially for like a northerner to think of like a summer trip to New York, but I think that's valid. It's in ⁓ in August. We'll see that we'll see the Yankees on one end of the trip. We'll see the Mets on the other end. Can I come? Can your family family pay for my tickets? Yeah, dude. Y'all can y'all can all pull up, bro. We'll go to the we'll go to the Yankees game. It's like Yankees versus Mariners. Yeah, I'll be there no matter what, bro. Okay. Tommy's gonna come in from Tulsa.

This this dude's been to a twin. He saw the baby, too. Okay. Shit, dude. Who who threw that goddamn Adidas? Yeah, just d doing a little world traveling right now. Was that the US Open on the other thing? US Open? Yeah, it was the P S Open. ⁓ yeah, you were there, dude. What the fudge? Yeah. Yeah, dude, saw our ⁓ saur boy cattying Sudarshan for the last time. He's all winning. Turner Sloan was there. Yeah. He's got he's got a new he's on he's on Carl Villps bag again, though. So watch out, Carl Villps. I mentioned him in my video yesterday. He would be relegated if the season ended. Carl Phillips would be fucking out of here, bro. Down there. Gotta get him up. Gotta get him up. He's gotta play nut ass. That's great. I don't wanna know who that is. We need a stream when we play ⁓ the Rider Fall Guys. Yeah, Fall Guys Fall Guys stream coming later tonight after hours, but when we do a little Ryder Cup at the at the reunion ⁓ for Labor Day. ⁓ yeah. Yeah, yeah. You're not gonna be there, Liam? You're everywhere brought there. Dude, I had already had a trip planned Labor Day weekend. That's crazy. You guys aren't we all going on that trip? Isn't ⁓ that's I literally asked I literally asked if any if we could do any other weekend but Labor Day and that Labor Day one. So Where are you going? I'll be in San Diego. Appomattox. Appomattox. That's not bad. Yeah, I'll be in San Diego and then Seattle. So I was going to Richmond. Bro. Yeah. Richmond Richmond is not a Val. Richmond is not a Valley. We had the the Hill City Alans. Yeah, the entire lineup. Name the entire starting lineup of the first day of of your first game and Liam would be like the first baseball game I ever went to at the Richmond Squirrels and just go band for band one through nine. This dude's a baseball savant though. I gotta get my knowledge back up. We used to go band for band with each other, but I mean this dude's like way above me, Albert Einstein level baseball. I've been allowed Between between that between Matt tennis and UFC. So that's the triad. We kinda got all covers qu ⁓ all the corners covered. I would say so. You know, Todd Todd Todd's just there for everything. He's you know, he's like just Chicago. Yeah, he's got he's got Chicago Chicago. We've got Tulsa. and we've got the entire country. We have Virginia. Virginia. Let's go, baby. ⁓ the sports hubs of the world in Chicago. No doubt. No doubt. Tub, we didn't have you on the last stream. Any any ⁓ before we wind down here, any World Cup thoughts? How about that draw yesterday or two days ago with ⁓ with Ghana? we're gonna forget about it because they're gonna win the whole thing. The Witch Doctor. It's still coming home even after that? Yeah, it doesn't matter. That ⁓ that Harry Kane try at the end there. ⁓ my god. There it is. He just has it on top. That's disgusting. Is there any possibility we can ⁓ my god Dude is that from Timu? That looks like too many stars. It is forty nine. It's one short. ⁓ Hawaii's gone? It's got w it's got one extra for Puerto Rico. ⁓ So it's got fifty. Or Canada, whichever one. Puerto Rico doesn't count though, dude. It's a territory. We're gonna play we're gonna be playing Bosnia, it looks like. In the round that's our next round opponent, like guaranteed. Yep, because pretty yeah. Okay, so we're going to be in the round of sixteen. We're not losing Bosnia. Okay. No, thirty two would be Bosnia, Todd. Is there any possibility of us playing England? I don't think. I'm sure I'm sure there is a possibility. In the quarters, I thought was the possibility. I think we can play in the round of sixteen's like Iran or somebody else. That would be sick. If they played Iran, if we played Iran, that would be insane. We were saying that make them play Iran in Texas. That would be Iran hasn't won a game. There's no way they're moving on. ⁓ I saw like a projected thing, but they can make it as a three. Iraq, Iran, Algeria, all those. I don't know if they've scored in the tournament. They have all they've they've they've done more complaining than goal scoring, bro. Like I've seen like three TikToks of them complaining about the conditions, and I've seen zero goals. Iran is currently Yeah, Iran is currently second in their group. What? Yeah, Egypt, Iran, Belgium, and New Zealand. Are they playing like the New Zealand? Yeah, 'cause Belgium I mean the thing no one thought Iran was gonna make it because they everyone just figured Belgium would win the group, but it I mean Poor Poor Scotland. They I don't think they're gonna make it through after that was our pick. I heard that this loo ⁓ yeah, I know. Or they they got peace today, right? They do have a win, so it's like they have a small chance with they could get in through the third place qualifier, right? Yeah, but that that third goal really messed up their differential. ⁓ was a was a back breaker, yeah. Damn. Poor Scotland. I just want the Scots to stick around longer. They've kinda fucked me a couple times. I bet them to score last two games. They have. And they haven't? Because they lo who else do they lose to? They lost to ⁓ Morocco. ⁓ well Morocco's winning. Does Senegal have a chance now, or do they they have to win their their last game? They have to like massacre, I think, but they I think they could. So Senegal spread is the play, because they're gonna be trying to run it up? They're playing yeah, they're playing Iraq. And I mean that that that second goal Late against Norway was massive to cut their deficit. Yeah. Dude, I think that's that's gotta be a play is to take My buddy was there. Yeah. I mean that that was like the group that was the group of hell. Yeah. I'm trying to think. What about what other ⁓ sleepers ⁓ have made it through? Like Ghana made it through. Pretty much Ghana officially through? I think they have four points, right? Well they got a winning draw. Ghana is four. They have four. So Ghana, and then they won. They last minute banger versus ⁓ Panama. That's right. I forgot. They did have that. Hell yeah. Good for good for Ghana, dude. There's gonna be like five teams from Africa that make it through. Represent Kate Baird. Kate Verard can make it through, that would be insane. Do they have their easy matchup now? I don't know. They were supposed to be the easy matchup, bro. Yeah, true. They are the easy matchups. Dude, knowing nothing before the tournament of Yeah, they have a shot. That's raps, dude. Let's go. That'd be sick. Dude, I after watching the first two ⁓ games from France Like it's hard not to like them the most. Like in all the talks I know were about their chemistry going into the tournament, but they look too many chefs in the kitchen type. They just look like much better than any other level I've seen. They're obviously gonna make it far. Yeah. But like, dude, they they look I know it's been two fucking games and like I know I don't know shit about soccer, but like they've just looked like a different like I've watched a good bit. They've just had a different level of dominance compared to even some of the other teams that have had good performances. Yeah. Like Mateta hasn't even played a single minute yet. And he's like Well, I was all in on England. I was like, their offense is unstoppable until y'all went nil nil with Ghana. Dude, chill we're not we're trying to not get first in the group. We'd have to verse a better team. It it'd be better for us if we got sick. ⁓ my god dude. That's got Ghana was playing straight Ghana was playing straight haram ball that entire ninety something They look he should have won. Should have got like two pounds. It was the in the witch doctor lifted the curse now. Yep. So that means no, after the game you said he was praying for a Harry Kane injury. No, no, no. He was like, I've lifted the curse, England is all good to go again, or something like that. He was like, I wasn't wishing serious injury, I was just hoping it would keep him out of the Ghana game or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, and then he knows when he absolutely freaking whiffed that goal. Yeah. Yeah, I mean True. And and there were probably so many people that had him, especially after what happened the day before with the three chalksters going nuts. I mean, dude, yeah. There I had one of my followers send me, he took the each of them two plus lay, and it was a twenty dollar bonus bet that won one point six grand. I was like, ⁓ my god. That's insane. Yeah, there's so many people out there that have that exact thing. Yeah. But not Trent. I saw something. If you rolled over from first match time, ⁓ Holland, Mbappe Messi, two plus, a hundred dollars, and then whatever you want on that rolled it again on the two plus, you'd be up eight hundred and sixty-five grand. Jeez. That's I don't even want to hear that. That's that's just disgusting. That's disgusting. Throw that out in the void and just end it there. You could have been up eight hundred. ⁓ That is Brook Common of the Day. What about the what about the games tomorrow? What do we well let's make a quick prediction before we go. USA tomorrow. USA is tomorrow late. We probably draw. I don't know. ⁓ yeah, we do play tomorrow. We don't we yeah. I like that we don't play till Coast, Japan. Australia's gonna beat Paraguay. I can Ivory Coast sneaky still make it? They're in three points right now. Yeah, I mean they can definitely I would say they have an inside shroud out. So that yeah, because Ecuador literally can't score. Dude. Yeah, they're in third with one point. Lo lock Turkey, Ecuador, and ⁓ Turkey, Ecuador, and ⁓ Ghana in a room and make them to all try to score a goal. Japan's gonna win too, dude. Sweden's sorry. Yep. I'd go I'd go Ivory Coast. I mean Tunisia is gonna get run ruled. Good Lord. Are they the worst? Tell me how Sweden is is an even goal differential because they have a five one win over Tunisia and then a five one loss to Netherlands. That's disgusting, dude. Tunisia. Oof. ⁓ Lock of the day though, if Australia starts Iron Cunda, who scored in their first game and then somehow didn't start against the US because I think they're stupid. If he starts, he scores. It's the lock of the day for the five to nine. All right. Well, back back to back guest appearances and yeah, Todd appearance. First quad box there. Quad box. Shout out to Liam, good fuzz. And we'll see if Draper can bring it home or if it's just center propaganda, I guess. Jo Joker, Draper, and Shelton. Those are the three. There you go. So the three picks. Yes. Boys, till next time. Till next time.
