That would be wonderful Yeah, I'll have to get your address I'll send to you I need I need another I need another t-shirt Yeah, because I I was actually talking with we had a derby party this weekend for Rachel's birthday And there were a lot of people that came that I'm not super familiar with, but there's a big Wisconsin showing here in Denver, and so friends of friends were like, just bring them.

And I ended up talking to them, I was like, I would love to find this similar Wiffle Ball league here. So I was talking to a guy, I was like, yeah, we lived in Milwaukee for a year, and oh, I remember Broken Bat, that place actually looked kind of fun for the Wiffleball League. I was like, yeah I want to find that here, but I don't think I will. I don't want to join a softball league. That's like my one thing. Yeah, and that's like too serious. I never want to join a softball league. No. Yeah, Wiffleball's fun. It's quick

and It's in, you can do it year round if they have the right inside space. Yeah. And it was a great time. It was a great time. I think that t-shirt is well deserved on my part. Well deserved. Yeah. But yeah. That was the vibe guy. And yeah, if you come back in the football league, we'll have you sub for us. Hope that you can come in and hit a dinger or something. No, hit a single or a dinger to way left field if I got lucky. Hey, it's all about getting lucky.

It's better than being good. Yeah, I would agree. I would agree. I got lucky a lot. I think I had three home runs on the season in the games I was there. How was the derby party? The derby party was good, I'm going to be honest. I got a little worried. We had people visiting so we were going to do like a derby theme get-together anyways. But invite was one o'clock so I'm expecting people to get here on to 230 230 rolls around

there's like six of us here and I'm like oh fuck we might have eight total people show up to this because I did the whole like I put out an invitation I put out messages like hey Can I get a headcount for food and two people replied, but then I get text saying oh, we're interested We're probably coming, blah, blah, blah. And then Rachel went down to go get some people that she met at the bar the night before that ended up coming, and these two ladies are phenomenal.

And then like 15 people walked in and all of a sudden this place is loaded with people. Rachel's looking at me and goes, are we gonna get a noise complaint? Are we going to get kicked out? I'm like, no, but it went well. I mean, I did fuck up, apparently. I put $10 on Toby Keith's horse to win. And then a parent I told Rachel's like, I put $10 for us.

But on Toby Keith's ghost. Horse. Yeah, Toby Keith's ghost. He owned a horse and it was like he wanted this horse to be in the derby and Did and there were like reports that people bet on him so much they changed his odds like he got bumped up Which one was it? Rendered judgment. Yes, so so you want in here put ten dollars on them and I told Rachel that I was like I put ten dollars on Toby's for us She's like, okay, and she was like looking at the horses and in my remembrance of this incident She's like, oh, I heard about this one and this one. Oh, I like this one

Never explicitly told me to bet is what I remember she told me to bet on the winning horse And I did not well to the point where in front of everyone she jumped up and down was like my horse one my horse one And then I go what are you talking about? Horse you bet on I got it bet on any horse. So how much money would she have won? 70 bucks So did you give her $70? No, I gave her a high five and then I'm sorry. I think you owe her $70.

No, I don't think I do. In the comments, are you Team Rachel or are you Team Michael? Everyone is Team Rachel. She's way prettier and probably in the right. All right, I think she owes you $70. Yeah. It was a gamble because then we went to a bar afterwards and probably in the right. I think she owes you $70. It was a gamble. Because then we went to a bar afterwards and there was a guy doing like come around doing

promos and stuff like that. He's like, oh, just sign up for this app and you spin this wheel and you'll get something. It was like 50 or 100 bucks or you get free drinks, free shots. I was like, Rachel, spin it for us. And she spun and said, free shot. And he's like, hey, I want you guys to win. So she's like, spin it again. Said, free shot.

And he's like, all right. I mean, I tried. And I was like, just out of curiosity, what would have happened? And then I spun the wheel and it said $100. So I think Rachel now owes me $30 if we're doing the difference. Wait, are you blaming her

spinning her spinning ability on your lack of listening Yes, I think come down to luck and I'm willing I'm up 30 technically, but I'm willing to call it even yeah make sure that she knows that yeah To call it even yeah, make sure that she knows that yeah hold that overhead 100% I will and I had to put $25 to And make a bet to get this drink so I was like oh this shots actually $25 But I'll just pull it out. I put $10 on the Warriors to win last night They did so I actually made money which is good so then yeah, so I'll call it

I'll call it even are you really well I think you remember remember when I said that that I bet one time on sports and then you're like oh Judd is a gambling problem I think it now you since you've been in Denver have a gambling problem you mean the three months I've been here and I've placed two bets. Yeah. Actually, you know what? I've placed... I'm seeing a pattern.

I've placed three bets in Denver. I had a leftover $2 in a DraftKings account because we were talking about DraftKings and on Saturday I put those $2 on Rory to win the Masters So now I have four dollars and fifty cents in that account. I put ten dollars for the Warriors to win Now I made money on that and then I lost ten dollars betting on a dead man's horse Yeah, yeah two for three and I'm I'm the king of betting significantly low amounts of money. The thing about the Kentucky Derby is they're horses. No one knows about these things.

Like everyone's like, oh they do great in the mud. I was like, how did you know that? Why would you know that? No one knows that. No layman knows that Yeah, I love hearing everyone's like well. I heard this one the great trainer Yeah, fuck up you just like today you were trying to make some money and you just pick a horse That's what it should be don't I think they shouldn't even show the odds of these horses winning Just pick a horse honestly. I don't I don't hate that. I think you just go off of vibes. Yeah I think you know I think my one I didn't put any money on it, but we all just picked a horse mine was Bo Burnham Square well it wasn't his first name wasn't Bo, but it was Burnham Square I was like oh give me Bo Burnham Square over here

That's what I would have done I did one for Toby Keith And then I probably would have I should have done the one for Rachel and then if I were to pick another one it would have been like the coolest name. Yeah I think a chunk of gold was fun that's a good name. Yeah that's not bad. I don't know what I would name my horse. I was like what would you name your horse? What I name my horse? Yeah glue glue

Like stuck like glue no what it gets turned into if it doesn't go fast enough, you know, get it. Yeah get some Didn't get put down Bang gunshot. Yeah, that's bad coming in third came in first Yes, I mean there's there's some there's so many like crazy horse names you can do It's such a weird thing cuz like usually when you name an animal You're not like if I got a cat. I'm not gonna name it render judgment Yeah, if you went over to someone's house and you're like, oh your dog is amazing once its name and you're like

Whatever one of these Kentucky horse names are you're like, okay I think you have bodies in the closet somewhere a cat named rendered judgment. I don't think people are coming back over. I Think it's it's fun to just have the most unique names that you see. Because like, the game, the Queen's Gambit or whatever, all these horses names are. And it's like, yeah, that's what makes it more fun. Don't tell me who the favorite is. Tell me who, like give me these names. Yeah I'm never going to bet on a horse named Bucky never or any like Layla like a typical dog name like the

people who have like their cats their names are like Kevin or Earl I love that yeah I also think you should be able to pick off the jockeys who are the jockeys? No like just line them up. I want to see pictures of them Okay Just real they're shorter than me You see how they're all just the same height, but I want to just pick them up You know put them in a line like a like a police Interrogation just have number three. Please turn to the right. Yep. That's my jockey What horse you ride? Yeah. Oh you're riding. You're riding a severance butthole. All right, give me that one

Yeah, you don't look like a severance butthole. You look more like a Queen's Gambit kind of guy. Why don't you switch horses for me? Yes, that's how you pick them that could be another race at the Derby be like, all right You've been training on rendered judgment the past year you get a race on him for the big one But now we're doing a second race. We're doing a real Chinese fire drill. Yeah mismatch just drawing names out of a hat. All right Okay, Pedro Pascal is now with Queen's Gambit Ride and see who wins that I think that'd be fun. Can you imagine if

You win on not your horse. They might have to put the jockey down. Well, no, I mean With that premise you someone's gonna win with not their horse Yeah, I know but like imagine like if you have the the wrong owner Like alright you you couldn't win on this horse, but he can Boom, it's can. Boom. Done. It's true. It's true.

Jockey down. Jockey down. Get him down. I like that. One more thing I do want to talk about before I do. Did you see that Wisconsin sports, Wisconsin high school sports are now allowing NIL deals to high school students. This is a really bad idea.

Okay. Yes, sir. That's fine. I know. I know. But my whole thing is back in high school, so La Crosse, kusky, what is your NIL deal? Who's sponsoring you? Because I would probably be sponsored, I'll go mine first.

My high school would definitely be sponsored by the ice cream stand called Cruzen in that town. We went there every single time for a game. Are these sponsors paying the school? No, you have to pay the players. Paying the players directly. So what would my direct sponsor be in high school? For you.

Oh, shit. That's a good question. What was I doing in high school? For me, Taco Bell and the dollar store Okay, do you have any more? What about something that's low first of all? I'm gonna throw it that you go to the two places that you'd such so cheap But like do you have any like local places that you're like oh like that bar and grill that I go to with my family is definitely gonna sponsor me. I think cops

Custard probably I would have loved that What else I really like I was hoping I bet I hope high school kids aren't getting sponsored by local bar and grills But you know of any state that's gonna get a bar and grill sponsorship for high school kids. It's Wisconsin that's gonna get a bar and grill sponsorship for high school kids it's Wisconsin. Leah's Italian restaurant our buddy's dad owned that one the point after that's a bar and grill. Oh yeah. The Rocksports Complex. The Rocksports Complex yeah. The sledding hill. Yeah at that point at that time it was Crystal Ridge. Yeah I don't know I that's a good question because I wasn't in We would be like all right. I'll meet you at Taco Bell grab food and like well I don't want to go to anyone's house so you just drive around and over the dollar store try and find something we could fuck around With and then go somewhere when I got later because I wasn't drinking. I wasn't doing anything like that I

Don't know maybe airsoft thing was kind of cool. Yeah, you might be like gun sponsorships Airsoft thing was kind of cool. Yeah, you might be like gun sponsorships That'd be that'd be not great for a school. But yeah, or like maybe the pellets like paintballing. Yeah You're paintballing. That's fair. That's funny. Yeah, I mean I always thought it was like cruising Would have been one of our sponsors called and then probably the Shell gas station Yeah, Andy's gas station for us. Yeah. Okay. There you go. Yeah the shell gas station. We went all the time I mean they had that's where we went for lunch and maybe the bowling alley bowling alley went for lunch, too They would have sponsored us, but yeah the marine rock

Definitely one. That was. Yeah. Oh God no. I don't like how to. OK. Real quick and then we'll move on from this. But what was the reasoning for allowing these high school like do we have that many. I could see this maybe going. I mean California. Yeah.. We don't have that many big name athletes. That's the thing. I think it comes down to the point where we only have a handful of them, and then that's the people that will get it. And a lot of the NAO deals, there's mass, like the big names that we see, that we know, like the Archie Mannings and things like that.

But when it gets to the point of just like your normal, small school people, they're not making an I'll money so What what they make from it is? Maybe a couple hundred bucks, but yeah, I think the height I'm I I'm gonna refrain from giving like too much or an opinionated like statement I'm gonna refrain from giving like too much of an opinionated like statement Because I don't think I'm informed enough to give you something that's like well flushed out and in college I understand it a little more like a lot more, but I also have been seeing a lot of

Issues with it in high school. I feel like if you start giving kids Substantial money I In high school, I feel like if you start giving kids substantial money, I feel like all you're gonna end up doing is creating more influencers than you are athletes. Because if you see one kid in your high school start getting money for being a good athlete, well the, it's literally name, image, and and likeness like their name is what's yeah why they're getting paid So people are gonna try and put their name out there as much and you were just creating more influence And I think you could see maybe a drop in talent Yeah, a lot of these people are are just I mean the younger kids are trying to be influencers anyways

Cuz that's who they look see and look that are getting these these Quick caches yeah, yeah, so that's where they look see and look that are getting these these Quick caches. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so it's crazy But we can move on to the game section, you know How good at you about knowing your states are you you're well traveled you should know your states, right? Yeah, all 48 of them Good good Well, I'm gonna have you ten

Questions about states and you can you're gonna get you can get it wrong or right? But if you get it, that's if you get it right you have an extra I'm gonna have you an extra question where you can get an extra point or if you get it wrong You can still get a point on the question. How about that? Okay, this the point systems kind of Rendered useless because I'm not competing against anyone, but I'm I mean I'll email. I'll send this the same thing to Jack Which we should say happy anniversary to Jack and G. Yeah, happy one year anniversary.

The diamond state based on the faces they're making oh the diamond state If you say it more, I think I'll but they'll help No, I was just thinking the shape of a diamond first, but I don't think we have any states the shape of a diamond Let's you look at it sideways More like a rhombus.

I know what I need to work on in the future Yeah, this was a practice test. I beg art. I got capitals down You you also said facts yeah, yeah

You would have got more capitals than I would have got I'm not gonna capitals So did you not have to memorize capitals? We did, but I didn't I probably didn't pay attention Yeah, I didn't pay attention that my dad's real good at them. I I'm so yours were you in middle school Middle school would be like seventh and eighth grade I Would give it let's go as far back as fifth like seventh and eighth grade. I would give it, let's go as far back as fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. I would have been in middle school around 2002 to 2004, 2005. Damn. I was gonna say 1990.

Yeah, I was gonna be No the reason I brought this this game because I found out that My buddy Doug is super good at Capitals like super good to the point like we're at the bar We're just trying to stump him with Capitals. We couldn't do it. We ran out of states. He was so good I'm pretty sure I I could get I think I could get probably 38 of the 50 Yeah, you said two you said two places You said to me like mixed up. I knew yeah, and you said definitely one

I would have gotten wrong in middle school yeah you said two cities in Maine that I didn't even never hear of some yeah yeah I'm interested to see have you ever seen like I would you have one minute to name as many states as possible yeah I think I don't know if it was a minute or two minutes, but I wonder if, I guarantee you, you wouldn't get all 50 of them probably. Yeah. Because it's enough where you're like, it's like even if I asked you to name all 32 NFL teams,

you'd be like, oh, I know all of them, but you're gonna forget which ones you said and whatnot. Maybe, maybe as we'll do next week, we'll do some timed games. We'll put the timer on, We'll see what we can do. I like that. Little categories. But yeah.

We have the golf voting coming up. That's going to be great. I'm excited for that. Reached out to the website this week. Yeah, I reached out to a sponsor. You can cut this if you want, but he was asking how much a sponsorship would be for it because he's excited.

He's like, yeah, it sounds like fun. I'll be there. How much is a whole sponsorship and stuff like that? But yeah. Did he say yes? Well, he was just asking and I haven't answered him yet. I was good. Then I looked at the PowerPoint that we have and it was old, it's a 2024, so I was like

oh. Okay, well I'll make sure you have something updated. Okay, well yeah, that's it and we should clap our way out. Okay, one, 4.
