The Josh Innes Show - I've Got My Family Hooked On Sports Betting

Episode Date: September 27, 2024

We just watched the crappy Cowboys beat the even crappier Giants. Jilly and I both lost our bets on this game. The larger story is that our brother in law, Brian, is now sports betting and damn near hit a big one on his first try. Jilly is a bit conflicted by this. The White Sox could have set the record for most losses in a season in front of their home fans...instead they did the most hysterical thing ever...they swept the Angels.

The following was recorded from inside an ice plunge.

Ah! Woo! Okay. All right. When a core's life is cold enough, the mountains on the can turn blue. So the next time you want a cold lager, cold filter, cold package, Coors Light, just wait until those glorious mountains on the can turn blue. It's easy to say that fast when you're freezing cold.

Howdy, Jamokes. Welcome in. It's Josh and Jilly. It's about 10.32 on Thursday night. Just watched Thursday night football outside on the terrace while drinking cheap wine. Some wine named after a bunny rabbit. It's called like... Not cheap wine. What was it we learned? It's value wine? Yeah. Sounds classier. Yes, like that's fine, but it's still cheap wine like that's it sounds cute let's put value on

it like oh it's value wine to be fair this is $8.99 a bottle there are some for $5.99 so we're in like the mid-tier well either way that's how we're able to have extra money to book flights to Houston for a Texans game in a couple weeks. Woo-hoo! See, we ain't rich by any means. All I do is collect money until I don't collect money anymore. But also, shout out to United Airlines for the 127 round trip. I mean, that also helps us get us to Houston. So here's what happened. So we're outside.

As we drink more wine and watch the games, we're like, I really want to go to another NFL game. We were in New Orleans this last last weekend went to the the lsu game as well and we're going to see lsu when they play arkansas in arkansas in a couple weeks and uh you know like we want to figure out somewhere to go we haven't seen we've seen the texans once but we haven't been down uh to the state we haven't been in rg so what are we going to do and um we're like well let's look and then jelly finds a date that makes sense we see the time because we wanted to go hang out with pk and

denise and did denise off work so we find a flight for dude 120 something bucks for a flight and they're both direct non-stop flights come on now yep round trip and if you listen to denise and pk's podcast you know she works a lot of weekends so we found one that she was off perfect and so now we just got to find some tickets and we'll go see the texans hey you know what you guys can send me some messages but like i'm wondering if i were to like talk to somebody at a bar like if i were to go to my boy kobo or someone and said hey on that saturday Saturday night, what if we did like a live pod or something on that Saturday night at a bar somewhere?

Would people actually come out? LSU's playing that night. He's got the Florida State watch party, so. Oh, that's true. So maybe that wouldn't work. We're still. I gotta look at their schedule. So we'll see.

But you know, maybe it'd be a situation where we could, I don't know. You guys send me a DM on Twitter. Send me a DM on instagram and say listen if you cut if you if you do an appearance not even a live pod just hey we're at this bar drinking how many people would come out and hang out with us i bet a good number of people would on that saturday night uh but i guess i should tell you when we're there um we're there the weekend they play the colts so we're there only see the texans play the colts last year we saw the texans play the colts the only time we saw them this year we saw them play the Colts. We only see the Texans play the Colts. Last year we saw

the Texans play the Colts the only time we saw them. This year we saw them play the Colts and we're going to see them play the Colts again. So that'll be three games of the last three we've seen the Texans play. We're against the Colts. So we'll see. But that's what's going on.

We're going to be down in Houston that weekend. So if you guys want to get together, I'm just curious. Send me a DM on the gram. Send me a DM on Twitter. I don't have Facebook anymore because it's a cesspool. So I deleted that about a year ago. Basically this, look, I ain't no pussy. I want to be very clear, but the old people in St. Louis caused me to delete my Facebook. It wasn't the wackos in Philadelphia. It wasn't the Houston people. It wasn't the Nashville people. I deleted my Facebook. Both of them.

Personal. And business or show page. Which combined I think had like 20,000 people on them. I deleted it. Because I just didn't want to read. The old octogenarian radio listeners of St. Louis calling me every fucking terrible name possible. And I said, I'm sick of you fucking people.

I'm deleting this. I'm done. And I've actually been a happier human because of it. Because Facebook is terrible. And I don't have to read my dad's dumb shit that he posts and deletes. Yeah, but you grab my phone and you read now that you're not on Casey anymore, you just read your dad's posts. Well, you actually read my dad's posts. Today I did.

So I do read to see what my dad says because he says a lot of dumb shit because his currency is likes on Facebook and he posts dumb shit and gets himself into trouble and then deletes it. And then tries to give me advice on how to handle my shit. And of course anytime I say, Dad, you do dumb shit.

He says, Josh, Josh, don't do as I do. Do as I say. I really learned from a wacko in life is what's happened. So I don't have Facebook. But DM me. Send me a message on. And also, if you listen to this, if you're someone who listens to the pod, go it or you know leave a review for it wherever you listen to the podcast leave a review leave a star review and then leave some comments and then send

me a dm i want to hear from you guys to know that you're actually fucking listening i see the data that shows people are listening i want to hear from you guys and since we're not doing twitch right now and i haven't gotten the facebook thing or the youtube thing going yet i don't hear from you guys as much i want to fucking hear from you because I love you guys and I'd like to know that you're there. So send me a DM on the gram or on Twitter or make sure, and if you have not liked the pod on Apple or Spotify or whatever, that'll help me out. So like it, review it, all that shit. I would appreciate it. It would be great. But we are going to be in Houston the weekend of the 25th of October. That will be, I guess, a week after we go to Arkansas.

We're going to see LSU play Arkansas. We have nothing better to do with our lives except travel, apparently, for very cheap. Correct. And it has to be cheap travel. And also, we're going to Memphis. Did we talk cheap travel. And also we're going to Memphis. I don't, did we talk about this yet that we're going to Memphis for Thanksgiving? I think when that podcast about where you just vented about your dad for an hour. Ah, yeah. So my dad's a, we're going to Memphis with him. So on Thanksgiving and eating some fancy Thanksgiving dinner, it didn't sound anything like Thanksgiving. It was like, Hey,

do you want like truffles and shit? And I'm like, whatever. I don't know what fucking truffles are, but I'll eat them. So we're going to be in Memphis. Basically, you have no job. I can work anywhere. We have no dog. We have nothing to do. Nope.

We have nothing. God damn it. So we just go places for as long as we can. And I keep getting paid until the end of February. So we'll see. I feel confident, though, that I'm going to find a job before then. And I hope it's something good but sounds good I hope so look I'm trying to turn my life around here and be a more positive person about things be more confident about things something good is going to happen and something good is going to happen because we're awesome at what we do and

something's going to pop so I feel confident that that's going to happen it's only been what I guess we're coming up on two months since I got actually fired but it's only been, what, I guess we're coming up on two months since I got actually fired. But it's only been about a month since I started my severance. So I got like five months to figure shit out. I enjoy Baton Rouge. I just don't want to have to live there in your dad's house in a twin bed. That just doesn't sound fun. To be fair, it was not a twin bed. It's actually a full bed.

Well, still. It's not a comfortable full bed, but it's a full bed nonetheless. Now, speaking of Baton Rouge, that is where my sister and her husband Brian live. And because she listens to the podcast, I have somehow turned them into gamblers as well. And I have a guilt about this because I paint gambling like it's the most glamorous thing ever. What I don't tell them is it's the reason why I'm thousands of dollars in debt is because I've gambled for the last decade. But I make it sound so appealing when we break it down on the podcast that my sister's like, I want to start gambling. Like that scene in Vegas Vacation where Rusty is in the casino with Clark and he's like, I want to gamble. And that's like my sister. Now, not to say my

sister hasn't gambled on shit before. We come from a long line of gambling people on my mom's side of the family. I couldn't tell you by the gambles on my dad's side, but my mom and my grandma and Emily, I mean, we've got it in our blood. Our grandma fucked us pretty good, so we're just degenerates. But my grandma's was lottery and bingo, and apparently she also loved the penny slots. Well, and I feel like your mom and your sister, they'll play the slots but now now we've got emily and brian into sports betting so uh and brian is my um sister's husband and well yeah as a brother-in-law and um and my sister emily uh she's like i want to do prop bets so now they're both texting you about it the The one perk about me, I guess, is people are afraid to text me,

so I don't have to deal with anybody. They're not afraid to text you. They just know that you don't text back. I do not. I got that from my dad. I got it honest. So there. So Brian apparently made a sports bet tonight on the Thursday night football

match with the Giants and the Cowboys and he posted this on Twitter and he sent it to you and me to be like hey I'm sports betting and if we're being honest and I think that's what this is all about Jilly was kind of following Brian's bet and while hers were not going to hit Brian's was looking really fucking good and she was in that kind of mode of like oh this son of a bitch never sports bets. He puts in one fucking sports bet and he's going to fucking hit. Not only is he going to hit, he was going to win like 150 bucks. That being said, when I first started sports betting, it was during the NCAA tournament.

What, a few years ago now? And I somehow got my account up to like $600. No more because I took out like 500. Yeah, you got up over a thousand. No idea what I was doing at the time and now you're a pro and people come to you for advice on prop bets because you're the prop bet queen I can't win because I bet on Devin Singletary like a fuck anyway Brian his bet that he sent me today and this is the first time that they actually put one together themselves like

Saturday they were just taking like the pre-made parlays so today he sends me one he's like I did this and it was the Cowboys money line yeah that's it was Dak Prescott two plus passing touchdowns easy it was CeeDee Lamb to record a 30 plus yard reception which he did and it was Jay Ferguson Jake Ferguson sorry we call him Jay do do do do do do do do see that's what we do is we find like something about a player that we've bet on and we find a song or something that has to do with him. So like example, that's Jake Ferguson. But when we need him to do something, we play like Thunder Island by Jay Ferguson.

Or like back when I used to bet on goals in soccer and I needed a goal in every game, we would play Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue. But we'd say Goals, Goals, Goals, you know, where it's just kind of, we find a way to find a song, even if we have to go a long way around to get there, we'll find a song and we'll use that song to like be our inspiration and we'll play it and everything else.

Yeah, I think your Spotify playlist that year was like number one played song, Motley Crue, Girls, Girls, Girls. Well, I was really into betting on MLS total goals and games. We need to probably cancel that MLS soccer package we have for next season. Yeah, I don't watch soccer much anymore. It was fun for a year. Although I did hit a soccer parlay while we were in Illinois today,

and I won on a hockey thing, but that's neither here nor there. So back to Brian's parlay. Brian bet the Cowboys money line the dac two passing tuds the cd lamb 30 plus yard reception and jake ferguson 50 plus yards yeah jake ferguson had 49 yards well initially you thought he hit it and if we're being honest and i understand where you're coming from when someone who hasn't done it all that much comes in and just kind of stumbles into success you're like oh fuck you motherfucker i do this every day and you come in and bet your little ten dollars because what was the value that was plus 1400 because he used the 50 boost it was plus 1397 he put 10 to win 149 70 which means at some point in

that game he probably had a chance to cash out on because if he did it on fan duel he probably had a chance to cash out he didn't and it's great because ferguson had two catches late in the game and i thought he easily got over 50 the son of a bitch got to 49 so let me tell you brian perrant jr what you've learned the hard way is that gambling can make you feel really fucking good, and it can also rip your heart out. You got your heart ripped out. 49 when you needed 50. Hot damn.

It's like needing every team to make a field goal, and the only dickhead team that doesn't is the fucking Giants a couple of weekends ago. Yeah, I texted him. I was like, welcome to gambling hell. And what's funny is I took Ferguson as well, but I took him for 40, so mine would have hit except devin singletary did not run the ball for dick so thanks devin singletary against like the worst rushing defense in the league you didn't do anything and one of my favorite things to do is

the 500 yards or 550 combined between the two quarterbacks it's usually positive money but this time i felt like fucking homeboy from the the fucking weird-eyed motherfucker woody looking motherfucker from the uh giants fucking homeboy wasn't gonna get his so i'm like i'm gonna just take dack over 260 he was 40 yards short but these sons of bitches ended up at 502 passing yards so i would have had a big hit had i played that this time but i did jones fucking hit his easy that's what I was telling you is that motherfucker like he was I know I fucked up you took his rushing yards like a putz oh I'm so sorry but I fucked up but either way I also you want to talk about a random hit I won with the quarterback from Temple and his passing yards

dude what is it again I know we talk a lot about gambling on here, but we're degenerates. So I don't know. Can you find out if the Army quarterback exceeded his 75 yards? So I've never seen anything like this. So I'm looking at the one college game tonight that's available to bet, and it was Temple and Army. The passing yardage total for the quarterback of Army was 75 yards. And I'm like, you almost have to take it just because it's 75 fucking yards was that bryson daily yeah he only had 54 so he only completed

the two passes and then something called duane coleman came in and he was one of one for 18 well we don't know if he was actually in the game or he might have been like a receiver doing some wacky pass or something oh no okay who knows but either way so i went with the dude from temple duane coleman is a quarterback from zelma texas oh well i take it back so uh i i actually hit with the temple guy and my my did a same game parlay which was a you know you get your money back no sweat bet so i didn't have a horrible night but uh like broke even but since i was up in the afternoon life was good and there you go evan simon finished with 224 what did he need uh 200 i actually bet him up because his number was only like 188 and i took him for 200 so that ruled all right so uh cowboys still suck and the giants still suck like it's wild to look at that division too

because Washington could win the division because I don't think the Eagles are that good either and they're beat up. We've talked about this though. I'm kicking myself for not taking Jaden Daniels for offensive rookie of the year. Although they'll probably get their asses handed to them this week because everybody's on the commanders now.

Yeah. Let's see who they play. Well, whoever it is, they'll probably lose. It just feels like that's the way it would trend at this point so well no you know what may may help oh there we go okay they're at arizona they could lose that um but they could also win that division they very well could again i don't think it's that good of a division so we shall see um other stuff that went on in the world today so do we have a final score yet on um the twins because i think if the twins lose they're they're eliminated right then it would

just be about i don't know because the stupid mlb app doesn't put the e anymore yeah which is like is that like cruel to teams now or something yes it's stupid like teams that are 20 games out of the wild card there's no e or an x or anything next to them well the twins are currently down six to five in the top of the 13th. So we'll see what happens. They had the bases loaded with nobody out down 5-4 in the 10th and only tied it and didn't win it. The Padres are currently winning. Oh, so if the Padres

win that, I think the Dodgers can clinch the division tonight, but the Padres can't. I forgot how it works. But the Padres are my favorite team that I want to just win the whole fucking thing at this point. I want Mike Schilt former Cardinals manager who got fired and nobody knows why um I would love it if he would go in and take a team to the World Series and fucking win that thing because it would make me so happy uh I would also like the Astros to win

but I do not believe they're going to because I don't believe they're that good but you see the Cardinals lost today I did that makes look they're, they – I don't even want to talk about those cocksuckers. But, you know, actually the Dodgers just tied it 2-2. Also, you know, the White Sox won 7-0. This story is great. So we actually contemplated going to Chicago to watch history. Thank God we didn't. So the idea was we want to see, like, the most losses in MLB history.

And the White Sox, that's Jelly's team anyway, and it's drivable. So we wanted to drive up to Chicago to watch them make history. Right? So here's the thing. They had three opportunities at home against a bad angels team to just lose once. And they would set the all time, at least modern record.

People obviously actually showed up to these games. It's probably the biggest crowd since, I don't don't know march and that's what makes it great so all these crowds showed up white socks fans showed up and they didn't show up to see them win they wanted to watch them lose so they could see history the problem is the white socks were like all right motherfuckers watch this and they swept the fucking. I don't think they swept a series all year. I don't think they have. I need to look that up. But that's a Joe Exotic.

Guess what, motherfuckers? You're stupid. It's fucking great. And now they're done playing home games, right? Like, I think they go on the road. They go to Detroit, who's obviously very much playing for something. Yes, and fortunately for the Astros, I don't think they're going to have to play Detroit. And I would love to see them beat fucking Homeboy because I still hate AJ Henge but I think Detroit would beat them first of all you got

Scooble going in game one of that series and it would be a great battle between him and I would guess probably Fromber in game one of that series because this series that they're playing against the Indians means dick this weekend so they could set up their rotation Fromber can go you'd probably because I think they would start fromber over kikuchi i think that's pretty clear so it'd be fromber kikuchi and if a game three is necessary i guess hunter brown maybe maybe erigetti i don't know um but no i believe this is the first series they swept all season so the white socks get their first series sweep in a series in which people paid money just to see them lose so they could see history.

And it's almost like they were offended by it. They're like, you cocksuckers. You won't, like 10 people go to White Sox games. But now the people show up just to watch them lose and they sweep. And what's great is our buddy Sludge, who if you listen from Philly, you know Sludge, who's on the radio in Chicago. So I guess this would have started on Monday. No, Tuesday. So Tuesday would have been the first opportunity

for them to be at home and lose once to have the all-time modern record. So Sludge sent a listener. He paid money out of his own pocket to send a listener to the game to represent the show and watch the history. Doesn't happen. So then the next day, he pays for another person to go

doesn't happen today i believe he paid again for another person to go and it didn't happen sludge set like 600 bucks on fire for dopes to go to these games and it didn't it's a great bit sludge is great but that's fantastic but like like it's almost like these motherfuckers were offended by the idea that oh you only want to come out to watch us lose. And it was a perfect storm, too, because it was against one of the worst teams in baseball. If it were against the Yankees or something, there's no way they would have swept it. If it were against the Dodgers, there's no way they would have done or a team in the race. But like it's the Angels.

The Angels don't give a fuck either. And like somehow they did not make history at home with a big crowd and it's it's fucking phenomenal like it's it's spectacular really it's like the fans already hate you guys now they really hate you i would have been pissed if we drove yes and it wasn't even close it was seven nothing today and it was a blowout so oh fuck that was spectacular. But that's what went down in that game today, too. But I actually, like, I get the whole idea of the Astros. Like, they're back. If they play the Royals, I think they'll win.

I don't think they're going to play the Tigers. Did you see what the Tigers did today? They were down, like, 3-0. They rallied. They win that game. I think they're 30-11 in their last 41 games they're on a fucking tear and um you don't want to play those guys that's the kind of team that's just that's kind of like the Cardinals in 2011 they got hot snuck in and you don't want to play that

Philly people know that you catch the hot team like that and you end up losing especially now these little two game three game series where you don't get a road game and the home team like I don't know bro I don't like I don't get a road game and the home team, like, I don't know, bro. I don't think the Astros are winning the whole thing this year. I don't think I'm speaking out of church or out of turn saying that. Like, they ain't going to win the whole thing. I think they'd beat the Royals in a series. And I believe if the Twins lose tonight, they're pretty much eliminated.

And the wild card teams will be known. It's just a matter of who's going to play who. Yeah, and the Royals have a meaningful series because they're playing the Braves, who are still fighting to get in in the NL, and the Tigers are playing the White Sox, although they're the hottest team in baseball right now. They're the two hottest teams, arguably,

the White Sox and the Tigers. So we do know the Astros will play Tuesday, Wednesday, and if necessary, Thursday. And if I know Astros history at all, they'll probably be playing at like noon on. I think if it's Astros, Royals certainly. But there are some pretty shitty matchups that could get that first game. But you are right. Per tradition, it's probably going to be the Astros at 1 o'clock.

Yes. And that'll be them. And yeah, I think they'll beat the Royals. The Royals have been, talking about not hot teams, the Royals have been the opposite. They've lost, I don't know what their number is, but at one time they'd lost seven or eight in a row. Yeah, now they've won a couple in a row.

But they've fallen off a cliff. And again, the odds of them overtaking Detroit are not good just based on the matchups they have in their last three games unless Detroit rides this hot streak and then somehow collapses against the White Sox the white I would say Detroit's probably going to end up in that second wild card spot and the Royals are going to end up in the third now if you're the fucking Marlins by the way up eight to five going to the bottom of the 13th over the twins so the twins then would be two and a half out now so they'd be three so they'd be

three out and i don't think i don't know what to play yeah and i don't know if they have a tie breaker over either team either so i don't know what their tie breaker is i don't know if the twins if they lose tonight if their season's over i'm sure somebody on the internet would tell you but they are playing the orioles who already locked in so they're not playing for anything correct but no matter if they lose this even if. So they're not playing for any. Correct. But no matter if they lose this, even if they if they're still alive, they'd have to win three. And each of those teams would have to lose three. So the twins are out.

Like no matter what happens, like write them off. Twins dead. If they would have won tonight, you know, perhaps they're two games out with three to play. They got a little bit of hope. They're done. It really just comes down to are the Astros playing the Tigers or the Royals but again the Royals are playing the Braves and the Braves are fighting they're a game out I think currently in the correct that the Astros are playing the Royals I would say that's a safe bet to say so and the Royals that will be a one o'clock game on Tuesday and the

Royals have played some of the worst baseball over the last handful of weeks so you would feel good about your chances against them especially still manage the royals that you hate who mike metheny oh god no he's been gone for a couple years where you been i don't pay attention to the royals i don't know who neither tell me who manages the royals not mike metheny tell me who not mike metheny i can't tell you who is the manager i can tell you who is not the manager the manager is not fucking mike metheny i don't even uh what year he got i think he got fired two years ago maybe we didn't live here at the time so i think he got fired two or three years ago and they were all excited about him like oh we got mike mcthini like he fucking got canned in st louis because they didn't do dick and you thought he was gonna do something in fucking

kansas city the answer is matt quattro quattro suzy quattro matt quattro? Suzy Quattro? Matt Quattro. Our love is alive. Matt Quattro. I was right. Gotcha. Well, whoever the fuck he is. Can you name one Royals player?

Yeah, the shortstop gentleman. Who? You know, the guy. The fucking shortstop. Bobby Witt Jr. Oh, good job. All right. Now, if you ask me to name two.

Oh, does what's it? Does Salvador Perez still play there? He does. All right. Oh, good job. Now, if you ask me to name two. Oh, does what's it? Does Salvador Perez still play there? He does. All right, so there's two. And Michael Wacca pitches. Oh, that's true. So there's three. Oh, you know who else plays there?

The Pina. Remember? I remember I learned that last week. I learned that last week when that cocksucker cost me a no runs in the first inning parlay by getting a two-out, two-strike fucking RBI hit, that son of a bitch. Well, then there you go. You've got the A.J. Hinch, you get the Uli series. Yeah, and speaking of that era, apparently Homeboy retired today, too.

Marween. And I didn't know he was still playing. Like, my favorite Marween moment. Well, first of all, Marween hit the home run early in the Dodgers series, in the World Series in 2017. He hit the game-tying home run in game two, I believe it was. Was it the game two tying home run or go-ahead home run? I forgot.

No, it was a late tying home run against the Dodgers in game two, I think, at Dodgers Stadium game two, I think at Dodger stadium, I believe. And then one of the other moments of Marwin that I love, I believe he hit a walk-off grand slam at some point over the Rangers in 2017 or 2018. I forgot, but Marwin had a lot of great moments.

I had no fucking clue. The guy was still playing baseball, but it's very possible. He wasn't, but you know how that goes. Like, you know, years later, yeah, I guess I'll retire. You know, nobody wants me here. Like, I'm fairly certain he was not on a roster this year. Find it. Give me the actual.

Look up Marwin Gonzalez game two Dodgers. Google that. I was just trying to find out if he played this year anywhere. Probably not. Probably not. Probably not. He's just hanging around until he's like, you know what? There's no more baseball for me. Marwin Javier Gonzalez.

But that dude, I think it was game two. It had to be game two because they had lost game one, I believe, in that series. And they needed to win game two to get it back to 1-1. And then the Astros ended up taking the 3-2 lead back to L.A. L.A., we were there in game six. L.A. won that like 3-1 or 2-1. He was currently playing with the Oryx Buffaloes. Oh, Korean baseball?

Yeah, you would only know that. Me and the dudes from 97.5, who I think A.J. did that bit where they bet on Korean baseball during the Rona. But yes, I do. They used to play. Well, the reason I know this is because all that Korean baseball would happen at like 4 in the morning when I'd get up for work in Houston. Well, in 2023, he hit a home run in Game 5 of the Japan Series

off of Hanshin Tigers starter Kataro Otaki. In doing so, he became the fifth player in baseball history to homer in the World Series and Japan Series. Oh, wait. Oryx is in Japan, not in Korea. That's not Korean baseball. That's Japan. Well, no.

I just didn't know which one it was. But how about that? So he homered in the World Series and the Japan Series. God, I wonder if I could guess anybody else who's done that. Well, I don't know. There's not a list? There is. I have a list. list oh you have the list of the players that have all when um okay tell me this this is good okay so marwin is one of the five to hit a home run the japan world series and okay i'm trying to think of guys who are big japanese baseball players or american players

that played in both like mr baseball like tom se, like Tom Selleck in Mr. Baseball, played for the Dodgers and then the Dragons. Or Hiroshi Kamikaze Tanaka, recently of the Tokyo Giants, has knocked himself cold for the fourth time this week. Perhaps in Japan that's better than actually catching the ball. All right, so let me think. When was the most recent one other than that? I mean, I don't have the year.

But you've got the people. Do you recognize any of these names? No, but this man died in 2013, the first one. Okay, so he was old. Someone who played in the Japan World Series and hit a home run. I'm trying to think of people who've hit. He only played in the Japan League in 1964.

Shit. So that means someone who hit a home played in the Japan League in 1964. Shit. So that means someone who had a home run in the World Series in the 60s, more than likely. It has to be because, okay. Who were players? Was the answer Orlando Cepeda? No. Okay.

Was the answer, can you give me his first initial uh well i can tell you that he hit this home run in the 1957 world series okay so did the yankees play in the 1957 did but he did not play for the yankees okay 50 the brooklyn dodgers no okay who the fuck is this guy so he hit a home run in the 1957 World Series and then he hit a home run for Japan. That makes sense because it would be a guy that was in successful Major League Baseball, but then he's like, fuck it. My career's done. I'm going to play in Japan.

Boy, 50. Who did the Yankees play in 57? I think it was Milwaukee. Okay, was the answer. How the fuck do I know? Who played for the 1957 Milwaukee Braves? I have no clue. Who's this guy?

This person's name is Johnny Logan. I was not going to guess Johnny Logan, so I'm 0 for 1. So we've got Marwin, so we know that, and Johnny Logan. All right, Do you know the next year? This fellow won two championships in

1977 and 1978. In the World Series? So that would be 77 and 78. Would that be the Yankees again? He did play for the Yankees, yep. Okay, so somebody who played for the 77 and 78. You've got to give me credit Okay, so somebody who played for the 77 and 78.

Hey, you got to give me credit for knowing who won the World Series in 77 and 78. This person is still alive. He's 80 years old. Who played for the 77 and 78 Yankees? Oh, shit. This is good shit that you guys are going to want to remember if this ever comes up on jeopardy so this person had a home run in the world series for the yankees and in the

japanese world series god who the fuck would have been in that run it wouldn't have been reggie jackson no okay no would it have been uh the the fucking mustachioed catcher who died in the plane crash what's this guy's still alive so no it's not that guy who's the fucking catcher i'm thinking of the captain of the yankees who died in the fucking plane crash okay so he's not it so i've named two players from the yankees um shit who the fuck else played for the yankees the 70s yankees i don't know who is it roy white didn't know that one either. So there's two left. Alright, two left. Next is this man who let's see how I can describe him.

He's a little more recent. He his nickname is Godzilla. Oh, that's oh, and he also played for the Yankees, didn't he? Yes. Okay, that's what's his fucking name um oh god

fucking damn it I know who this is oh no it's um oh no I know who this is he did it in reverse order he hit the home run Japan series and then came to the world series. Oh, no. I know who this fucker is. What's his name start with? It starts, his first name or his last name? His first name. Oh, wait, hold on. I just lost it. Oh, I know who this is.

Oh, it's Matt Suey. Yep, that's Matt Suey. Okay, so Matt Suey. So I've gotten one of the three so far. I can split if I get this. So Matt Suey was that one. All right, so weui. So I've gotten one of the three so far. I can split if I get this. So Matsui was that one. All right, so we got Matsui. All right, we missed the two Dingleberries from the 60s.

And I'm going to guess the next person that also hit a homer in the World Series, in the Japan World Series, was also someone who did it in Japan first and then MLB second. I don't think so. Really? No, this guy played for 17 seasons in the MLB. Okay, 17 seasons. Yep. Let me see when he hit a home run in the

World Series. It's interesting. This is good information to take with you to your buddies and you could sound like a fucking G. He hit a home run for the Braves in the World Series. What year? Well, hold on. I'll do the math.

I'll tell you when. 1996. Okay, because they were okay. Okay, so that's an easier thing to name dudes. So there's Andrew Jones. Was he there in 90? He's not it, though. That is it.

Andrew Jones did? Yeah. Andrew Jones hit a home run in both of them? Yeah. Fuck yes! Ah, you sons of bitches! Who says I don't know sports? I'm a fucking soldier like Kellen Winslow Jr.

And then Marwin. And then Marwin. So there we go. We split those. Look, I know sports. I know a lot of people are skeptical of that. They say, this cocksucker doesn't know sports. He doesn't know shit.

I know sports. I'm a soldier, brothers. I brought the fucking fire. Also, good news for you is Lady Gaga has released a companion album to the Joker 2 movie. Yeah. It's called Harlequin. It's out now. I'm excited about this movie so much.

I was excited about Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Turns out it wasn't all that great. It was fine. I liked it. It was fine. All the good shit was in the trailer, but it's fine. That's how it always is. I know, but it still sucked in that way um and then i was excited about twisters didn't like it it was fine but it was like and i thought beetlejuice beetlejuice is way better than twister i agree

but now i cannot afford to be let down i don't know that my heart could handle being let down by gaga and her element being Harley Quinn and then Joker too because the Joker was great. I don't like superhero movies that much, but this isn't a superhero movie. This is the fucking Joker. This is deep shit. We already bought tickets.

We got our tickets. We're ready to fucking go. We got our ducats and we're ready. And why did we buy our tickets? Because we go on Tuesdays when it's Value Tuesday. Value Tuesday is a big deal. So we get to see this movie for $12 combined. Yeah, and so that's why I had

to buy them so far ahead of time because the Value Tuesdays for the new movies, they sell out very quickly. This is true. So this is a big deal. This is exciting. Tell me we're not responsible. Yes, as we just booked a flight to Houston. For 127 round trip with a free place to stay. And we're contemplating trying

to go to Green Bay for Christmas to see the Saints on Monday Night Football. That's probably stupid, but we have decided we're probably just skipping Christmas in this household this year. This is true, yes. Because we're both broke and we have no dog to put on the show for. This is true. So I just don't feel

like it's necessary. Facts only. Alright, so tomorrow, I i say tomorrow you guys are gonna be listening to this tomorrow um we gotta do our uh prop to you drop that'll be big tomorrow i've got to see how a guy that did the whole thing for me let me know that i'm basically 500 on my prop picks so we got to do prop to you drop that's coming up uh on fr. And this is, I guess, going to drop on Friday as well. I'm going to have this bright and early for you guys. It means you're listening to this bright and early.

We have to finish season one of Heels, which is a show that was on Starz and is canceled. So the two seasons of it are now on Netflix. And we're about 30 minutes into the last episode of season one. Solid program. Really dig it. That'll be good. I'm trying to think if there's anything we've missed talking about today.

I also love, by the way, that Jason Benetti, I forgot he's the Tigers play-by-play, right? And now he just tweets, a win Friday night makes the Tigers a playoff team yeah so here we are i love benetti i thought they had and they technically haven't clenched a spot though correct yeah it is weird to me though when someone like has a job forever broadcasting for another team then just goes to the other team and he's like i'm a huge fan of this other team yeah

well they did him dirty from everything that i understand. They did. But it's like when Harry Carey, everybody associates Harry Carey with the Cubs, what they don't realize, he spent like 25 years with the Cardinals. Is Jason Benetti really? He wasn't there for like 20 years. No, but it's just weird when you leave a job broadcasting for one team,

you show up to work for the other team, and it's like, hey, I'm a hired gun, and now this is my favorite team. Yeah, but he also did so many football games, so I don't consider like Jason Benetti like the Homer type it's not like Hawk went to the fucking Tigers this is true speaking of I know

we talked about this but I do do love Sparky and I enjoyed listening to him yesterday start doing like wine postgame pods for the Astros I think that's our option so like like next Tuesday we have nowhere to go in the afternoon so we can just sit here and get tanked on Tuesday and watch the Astros

well some of us have to work on Wednesday morning but I can I can soldier through well I wasn't asking you to you know you know get blackout I'm just saying I've just said tanked well tanked and blackout are two totally different things. So, but yeah, so that's the plan then. We'll watch the Astros. Hopefully they advance. I also forgot, you're right, that game may be at one in the afternoon,

so we just may be tanked at five o'clock. Correct, you'll be asleep by six. That's good, then I can work the next morning, super. There you go. All right, um we'll get some more stuff tomorrow we'll do prop to your drop tomorrow hopefully you guys enjoy this tomfoolery we love you very much
