Episode Transcript
[00:00:01] Speaker A: Now the problem is not so much trying to find the record button as turning it off when you don't want it on.
I'm Cody. Linda Berry.
[00:00:29] Speaker B: With me, as always, Ed Worrel.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: We haven't done this in a month, so I'm a little rusty.
[00:00:36] Speaker B: Little rusty. And it's a new podcast. New name and it's a new podcast.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, we used to roll in with Bad Mary. I know what exactly the keys to hit and how to roll with it. Nope, just not this time.
Today is a cold January.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: Cold January.
[00:00:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:54] Speaker B: Not. Not just because it's cold outside, but, man, we're gonna have a rough four years.
[00:01:00] Speaker A: Oh, you want to jump right into that, huh?
[00:01:03] Speaker B: I. I'm. Yeah, it's. It's on my mind. It's just. Good Lord. Why?
[00:01:10] Speaker A: How in one week it's been a lot.
And I mean a whole lot.
[00:01:16] Speaker B: But I, I am seeing, though, that there are some. Even conservative judges are like, no, no, no, that's super unconstitutional. You can't do that. So, yeah, maybe there's a little glimmer of hope. Just a tiny glimmer out of the corner of your eye, but not much, you know?
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Yeah. You gotta be really looking for it.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. But who knows? Who knows?
[00:01:44] Speaker A: Well, let's. You know what, we'll go topical on that one. So in the past week, because Donald J. Trump has been once again into office.
[00:01:56] Speaker B: Yeah, we're all pleased about that one.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: Please as punch. And so with that, a bunch of things have gone into pass as to like, just letting criminals go, and yet somehow we're detaining more. I don't know. I, I.
Go ahead.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: I saw. Yeah, I, I don't quite understand. It's. Yeah, they're letting, they let some 12, 13, 1400 people go. That you know, whole insurrection thing, but whatever. They're good people.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:35] Speaker B: According to Donald J. Trump.
It just, I don't understand. And then they're wanting to detain immigrants, and a lot of them are here on work visas here legally. They're not illegals like they, they like to claim they are. But I just, I, I read one the other day that not just on the Trump side of things, but in Billings. Did you see that one of the commissioners, city commissioners is trying to float out there?
[00:03:08] Speaker A: I pulled it up specifically just now just because wanting to use the metro from ktvq.com the. The article for local news is citizens respond to proposals to House Immigration, Detainees and billings. They want to have it.
The Yellowstone commissioner, Mark Morrows, a Republican, says if Detainees were to be accepted, they would be housed in the Montana police pavilion in the expo center of one of the smaller buildings of the Metro Park.
Now that's a barn, people. Yep, that's a barn.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: So, yeah, that was the latest and greatest hit on that one.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: And I. I just. I read that, and I'm like, what the.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: Like, oh.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: In his full letter to Donald Trump, because I read that a couple days ago, he believes that all these illegals are hiding on reservations. So they want. He wants to raid the reservations around Billings and go get these illegals, as they put them. And I'm just like, my God, you people suck. I don't.
[00:04:26] Speaker A: I'm. Now I'm gonna have to pull up another thing while you're.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: I just. I don't understand. Other than these people are, well, obviously racist, but they're also afraid of anybody that's, you know, has colored skin. I just.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: So. I don't get it.
So in line with that, you have U. S. Republican Zenki. Oh, God, yeah. Like saying, I applaud Yellowstone county commissioners for the creative solution and the help of the effort. No, just. No. But on the opposite side of this, much like you were saying, where they're thinking that illegals are running to the immigration or actually to reservations.
[00:05:07] Speaker B: Reservations, yeah.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: From the Fort Peck tribal newsletter.
Dear ass and Boyne and Sioux tribal members, with all the chaos in the American over.
I'm sorry, excuse me. With all the chaos in America over President Trump's executive orders of deportation, Fort Peck tribal members have reached out to me and expressed a concern of the threat to deport Native Americans among. With the Mexicans and hope that nobody can tell the difference. With the concern in mind, I urge all four PUCK tribal members to carry a current Fort Peck tribal ID and then proceeds to information if you need to enroll in that.
[00:05:49] Speaker B: Right.
[00:05:49] Speaker A: And that is from Justin Gray Hawk, senior tribal chairman.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: It is a crazy, crazy, well, couple of weeks. Really?
[00:06:04] Speaker A: My God.
[00:06:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I just. I don't understand.
[00:06:08] Speaker A: I knew it. As soon as, like, the talk of ice was coming around, I was like, how many?
Like, Native American, indigenous. I. I forget what the. In the correct PC term, but, you know, people, they're. They're gonna try and coop up as many and just hope that they get right off in the wind.
[00:06:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I just. I don't understand how people think this is okay. It just. It floors me. I don't.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: Like how much have we seen of this in the history. And then you have idiotic people that are like, well, you know, Holocaust doesn't exist. No, stop.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: That was absolutely a terrible part of world history. Not just German history or even. It just.
Yeah, I don't understand.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: German citizens now are saying, you cannot do that in Germany or you will be arrested.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: I don't know how Elon Musk gets away with that crap other than he's worth billions. And I'm like, no, he's a jackass. No, that's all there is to it.
[00:07:22] Speaker A: Like we expect that kind of stuff from hillbilly, like rednecky kill Kid Rock types, but not from like. Well, was the basically Blues Brothers. It's like Chicago Nazis or Illinois Nazis. I hate Illinois Nazis. It's like now it's South American Nazis.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I just. That blows my mind. Just because he's rich. Got there by cheating people out of their pennies and cents and dollars and everything.
I, I just, I don't get how, how or why he gets a free pass.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: I don't either.
[00:08:07] Speaker B: I don't. I just. He needs to be held accountable. I just, I don't know.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: If you want to put yourself in a mood, you just go onto the Internet and say there are videos of tell me about your oligarch.
And different, different people are doing different videos of how they're oligarchy via like Bezos or Moscow or is basically saying how they got the shaft because of small mindedness and trying to ruin people's lives.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: Right. I did see one that's irritated that I read an article that's irritating Elon Musk on Twitter that people are calling Tesla swastikars that I'm like, that's awesome. I, that's great. I love it.
[00:08:58] Speaker A: I mean for the amount of people that had, how's the nice way of putting it? They had the bumper stickers that it's like I bought the Tesla before I knew he was insane. It's like, do you get an upgrade from that bumper sticker for how bad shit it's going now?
[00:09:15] Speaker B: Oh God. I know. It's just, I, I don't know. And the funny thing is the more distracted he gets, the worse the construction of the cars get.
So he's not doing himself any favors by getting. Becoming super distracted and not paying attention anything. So the reputation of Tesla just keeps on going down the well.
[00:09:36] Speaker A: Let's think about this. I believe it was even the last podcast you said most CEOs don't do anything.
It's not like he himself is on the front line testing the cars of like oh, oh, quality assurance. Oh no.
Retires.
[00:09:55] Speaker B: He still has to keep an eye on the employees that are supposed to be doing quality insurance or keep an eye on the employees that keep an eye on the people that are keeping an eye on the people that are doing quality insurance. You know, it's a. It's a chain of command.
But I just.
I don't know. I don't. It's just funny to me, the timing. And I suppose that's all it really is, is. Is just, I guess poor timing for his company, good timing for us that don't like the man.
I mean, I just. Timing is everything.
[00:10:27] Speaker A: Well, it. And you basically can see when you're telling people he's gonna fleece you again. And it's. And the. It's almost like America has become the battered beaten wife of like. He said he wouldn't do it again. He said he loves us this time.
[00:10:49] Speaker B: And Canada's like we told you.
[00:10:51] Speaker A: Yeah, we don't call it a Canada. We call it Northern Montana. Northern Montana, I guess. I don't know if we do another podcast in a month, it might be.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: That we might be part of Canada. Because they want to. They keep waffling back and forth. Is selling Montana to Canada.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: Do it.
[00:11:08] Speaker B: I'm like, yes, please do it. Come on.
[00:11:11] Speaker A: Do we get a pass?
[00:11:13] Speaker B: Yeah, come on. Just. Just float Montana up there. We'll be fine.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: You know me as well as anybody else because I basically. I am a citizen of which both my parents were military.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: Right.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: And so I have. I have clear ties to the red, white and blue. And I'm very patriotic into Right to the fashion. However, I also would like to point out that, you know, there is civility and being good to your fellow man.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: Right? And America's not doing that right now.
[00:11:48] Speaker A: We're not doing a good job.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: Not even. I wouldn't even call it doing a job.
It's just.
They're not trying right now. Nobody's. It's just insane to me.
[00:12:00] Speaker A: We're honestly an iota away from like a running man situation.
[00:12:05] Speaker B: We.
[00:12:05] Speaker A: Where you have somebody like a dude perfect on YouTube doing assassination for clicks.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: Right?
[00:12:13] Speaker A: And it's. It's like, it's. It's almost there. It's almost gladiator esque. Like, you can pay off.
What is it?
So many movies that are based off of this in entertainment of like, oh, you want to reduce sentence time, partake in our death games.
[00:12:31] Speaker B: I. I hate when, you know, life starts to imitate art. It's supposed to be the other way around.
[00:12:38] Speaker A: I thought it was supposed to be iRobot. Not like. Oh, and even then.
Yeah, exactly. Especially with like, AI technologies.
They're coming for jobs. It's. It's there now.
It's. It's there now.
[00:12:55] Speaker B: Some of them is, yeah, AI can be used for good, but right now it's not.
[00:13:02] Speaker A: You know what it's being used for? It's being used for hobby lobby prints of raccoons in suits with a beer in front of it.
[00:13:13] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:13:15] Speaker A: 20 fingers.
[00:13:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Nice.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: I'm not kidding, man. It's really. Yes.
They charge 20 bucks a pop for the sons of.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: That's ridiculous and awesome all at the same time. I almost. It would be a fun collection to have all this cookie cutter AI art that's just blatantly wrong in your house.
[00:13:39] Speaker A: It's so bad.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Just because they'd be like, oh, yeah, that was created by this AI engine.
[00:13:45] Speaker A: Well, I want to give a point to this as well, because you'll be on YouTube and let's say you're going to listen to whatever themed lo Fi kick hop or whatever it is. Yeah, but of course, because you're trying to generate. Because somebody's trying to generate a listening base or likes or subscribes or all that jazz, they'll throw in an automated or an AI, not a pitcher. It's. I guess a movie is.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: Yeah, they're very choppy videos, but yeah.
[00:14:23] Speaker A: Yes. And in one case, you have two characters and a car. The thumb is elongating off of the main character.
[00:14:34] Speaker B: Alien thumb.
[00:14:35] Speaker A: Yeah, the. The car. Let's say if it's going across the horizon, like from left to right as if you're. You're looking into the driver's side.
[00:14:46] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:14:47] Speaker A: The. The rest of the background is cars coming up and down vertical into the traffic. So this person is basically in a meeting that doesn't exist.
It's so bad.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: I will say, and I'm not trying to justify the use of AI to do video or anything like that, but the technology behind it that creates it is really amazing. But the stuff it's creating is dog.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: Yes, it's.
[00:15:19] Speaker B: The technology is cool as hell that it's there, but it's just not good.
[00:15:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Because it's the.
It's almost like the housing bubble of 08. And so like, yeah, as soon as you.
[00:15:32] Speaker B: It's gonna.
[00:15:33] Speaker A: It's gonna bust. And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, that suicide rates go up. Increased, like by the hundreds of thousands. And it's like this is the equivalent of, okay, the AI takes over jobs. Well, that's hundreds of thousands of jobs that have just been evaporated. What are they going to do now? Call centers? Fuck you.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: The ironic part of it is, and I'll be devil's advocate here, go ahead. I'm not. So for people that are on the bandwagon of AI taking jobs, I say bullshit because there still needs to be people to manage the AI. They might be getting rid of certain jobs or now then they're being spun back around, hired again to make the AI work properly because it just flat doesn't. It's.
They're getting rid of certain jobs and they unfortunately, fortunately for some people, have had to create other jobs because the AI AI is so terrible.
It's. Yeah, but it's kind of a weird dynamic, I guess, in the whole AI realm.
[00:16:38] Speaker A: Yeah. With that. I mean, at what point will you have to have 40 hours a week.
[00:16:45] Speaker B: Just to monitor AI?
[00:16:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:16:48] Speaker B: Right.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: So I, I just. AI, like I said, AI can be useful. But right now I think a lot of what we're seeing is these companies trying to figure out what AI is actually good for.
Right now it's not much. Other than the one thing I could say AI is really good at is parsing data. Like, I've seen it where like scientists have used it to look at decades, if not centuries of scientific data on studies and then put information to together. And the scientists have taken that information, it's pulled and used it to come to a conclusion themselves. So it can be used for good.
[00:17:38] Speaker A: Anything could always be used for good. As much as it could be used for evil.
[00:17:42] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. Yeah. No, and as soon as you put AI by itself is not inherently evil, it's when you get the human touch involved.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: An example of that, the public library.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: A beacon of information, unimaginable wealth of knowledge in terms of like if you get a.
If you get a library card, doesn't matter which where you're at.
[00:18:11] Speaker B: Right.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: You are then able to get services that are like Libby or hoopla, where you can used books, audiobooks for free.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: Right.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: And so that's. This is my public service for libraries of all America.
Yeah. Because even going, even going yesterday was a snapshot of that where you can go and get. We collected about ten books between the two of us.
[00:18:43] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: But there was cops already out there just because somebody had a problem.
[00:18:50] Speaker B: Right.
[00:18:51] Speaker A: And when it's Montana and it's 10 degrees, a little bit of warmth goes a long way.
[00:18:57] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:59] Speaker A: But do libraries often collect a certain homeless population? Yes, yes.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: Because they allow them to be in There, like ours here in Great Falls, they allow them to go inside for, you know, a few minutes at a time just to warm up.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, which I think is.
Is. Is amazing. It can help somebody, you know, get out of a.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: A little bit of civility. Is. Yeah. Amazing.
[00:19:27] Speaker B: And like talking about libraries being able to get everything. And this is why it really bugs me and irritates me about these. This current administration wanting to defund all these libraries and programs. Like there's even libraries for people that are print disabled.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:45] Speaker B: Like the National Library Service. Bard. Bard is braille and audio reading Download service is what BARD stands for.
Basically we've got access to braille and audio books. Anything we want at our fingertips.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: That's awesome.
[00:20:03] Speaker B: So it's. I'm a. Much like you with the public library. I'm a big supporter of that. For people that are print disabled, it's.
You can get a lot of information that way.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: When we did a podcast of a different variety that years ago was us getting or like, well, me getting hammered in the basement of your office and us going on rants. Oh, the good old days, the great old days. But never did I think that, oh, it would be 2025 and we'd be talking about the joys of the public library and the systems of that.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: I know, right? Funny how times have changed. Wow, Cody, we're growing up a little.
[00:20:48] Speaker A: We're growing up. We still suck at bowling. We suck.
Still yell at.
Still yell at a TV screen when their sports not doing the sports thing.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: Yay, sports ball.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: Yep.
Do I got my bets? Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Am I gonna lose? Who knows? Good.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: That's debatable.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: Don't we at what you thinking, friend? Do not endorse gambling as a means of living.
We. We endorse it as a means of entertainment purposes only.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: All right, this. Is this coming from a very personal place, Cody?
[00:21:33] Speaker A: Yes.
Yes, it is. All right.
Because I, on the same weekend, I could get burned from one running back not getting 16 extra yards to make me 50 bucks to somehow a team throwing a 40 yard pass in garbage time and somehow that gets me $140 because of the passing yards off of a QB.
Exactly. So as somebody is like, I. I'm very confused by my method of madness. But again, it's. It's nothing that you should be able to put out on. Like if you can't afford to do it, don't do it.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Right. Yeah, I'm with you.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: And as somebody who has medical bills coming around. No can't be doing that shit as much.
[00:22:25] Speaker B: You can't be doing that. Welcome to my world.
[00:22:27] Speaker A: But also in the same breath of that because NFL is on its conference games tonight and then super bowl in two weeks. My ability to. Or my want for gambling is diminishing very quickly.
[00:22:44] Speaker B: Speaking of football. Not to get off on a side tangent but did you see all the football fans pissed that Caitlin Clark and Taylor Swift are now besties and they were featured during an NFL game.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: They're pissed about it. But if anybody knows Caitlin Clark she was. She's a lifetime Kansas City fan.
[00:23:05] Speaker B: I know. Well that. And I'm just like they're. And it's mostly your so called in air quotes alpha males that are pissed off that just need to get a life. I'm like it's great to see two women that are like the most powerful individuals in their field.
[00:23:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: Getting along and just it's versus dude.
[00:23:28] Speaker A: Bros that are swapping out from Yankees hats to Dodgers just because they're the fucking new hotness. Right off.
[00:23:35] Speaker B: Right. Yeah. I, I just.
And that. That's a whole nother tight race. Dodgers. Good lord.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: That's. Yeah.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: The rich people needs to do something about that.
I hope they don't even make it to the playoffs this year. That'd be awesome.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: I know somebody that's actually. They're. They're going against the grain and saying they're putting low, low grade bets like five dollar bet on Dodgers not even making the playoffs. Because.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: Awesome.
[00:24:05] Speaker A: Because the, the payout for that is fantastic.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:24:10] Speaker A: I'm gonna see if I can find that real quick while.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: Because that's worth noting.
[00:24:15] Speaker B: I don't, I don't understand why MLB's letting them do this. Because all those giant contracts that the Dodgers have, they're eventually going to have to pay that shit out and that's going to ruin the Dodgers in 10 years. Which is not my problem obviously. But because spending in the last two years they've spent almost $2 billion on players and it's basically all deferred money so they can win today.
[00:24:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:43] Speaker B: It's just there. I don't like deferred contracts. If you don't have the money now, you shouldn't be able to spend it much like gambling. If you don't have the money, you shouldn't be able to gamble.
[00:24:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Well just.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: It's insane.
[00:24:56] Speaker A: They should never allow any sports bookies to link to a bank account.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:25:03] Speaker A: Ever.
[00:25:04] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: Ever.
[00:25:06] Speaker B: I just.
It just amazes me what they're getting away with. I Mean, they're technically playing within the rules, but they're in the same sense, they're also writing their own rules, and MLB is just letting them.
[00:25:23] Speaker A: All right, Crazy. I'm scrolling through futures here. Okay.
I didn't find that one yet, but I'm. I'm trying.
How many games do you think that they set your Atlanta Braves the over under at for regular season wins?
[00:25:43] Speaker B: How many? They'll win that.
[00:25:45] Speaker A: What do you think that the line is?
And I'm gonna give you a hint that they're always gonna end with a 0.5. So that way you have a definitive. Like, you know, if it's 84, then you're.
Then you're under. If it's 85 or you're, you know.
[00:26:01] Speaker B: Oh, gotcha.
[00:26:02] Speaker A: That kind of thing.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Yeah. That's to protect their investments.
[00:26:05] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: Considering they just made a move for the outfield, it's probably changed in the last day or two. I'm gonna go with 88.5.
[00:26:25] Speaker A: The. That is incorrect. You are under.
[00:26:28] Speaker B: I am under. Really?
[00:26:29] Speaker A: The line is set at 92 and a half.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: 92 and a half. Wow.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: So. And basically your. Your payout for both of those are basically diminishing returns of, like, if you put $5 on it, you. You're more likely to win only four back.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:46] Speaker A: On top of your original bet. But.
[00:26:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, because I. I wouldn't have guessed it that high, but because Ronald Acuna is going to miss the first month, Spencer Strider is going to miss the first month.
There's just question marks.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: Bravos are plus 135 to win the National League East.
[00:27:08] Speaker B: It's going to be tougher this year.
[00:27:09] Speaker A: But that's.170.175 for the Mets and Phillies at 195.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: So Mets have made or not Mets? Well, Mets have made some decent moves, but Phillies have made some significant moves. But they're the Phillies after all. Yeah.
They can make all the moves in the world and somehow they screw it up. Same with the Mets. They usually somehow.
Everybody on the team is injured at one point. For the Mets.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: Do you want to guess the Phillies over under Just because.
[00:27:41] Speaker B: Phillies over, under. If the Braves are 92.5, I'm gonna go Phillies at 94.5.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: Incorrect.
[00:27:57] Speaker B: Really?
[00:27:57] Speaker A: One game less than you. 91.5.
[00:28:01] Speaker B: Really? Yep. So they're. Well, and I kind of figured that because the. The. I think the east is going to be the closest division again, just like it was last year. The NL east was. So.
[00:28:14] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, it's fascinating to be able to like look at apps.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: Right.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: To be able to say he's like, oh, okay, well do they have the.
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Mets in third then?
[00:28:25] Speaker A: Yeah, actually probably about in a second.
[00:28:28] Speaker B: Oh, they had him at second.
[00:28:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Because for, for that part of the NL in the division, I guess it would be.
They had, it was Braves, Mets, Phillies, in that order.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: So Braves in third, huh?
[00:28:44] Speaker A: Nope, Braves in first.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: Oh, Brave winning the East. That's right. Yes.
I don't like it when they pick the Braves to win the east because that's when everything goes to hell.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I mean sports bets are sports bets, man. You're going to have everything into the sun. Like right now it says the World Series. Will there be a first time winner? Yes or no? No. At negative 1200 versus yes. Being plus 475.
[00:29:10] Speaker B: I'm gonna say no.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: Unfortunately.
No.
[00:29:17] Speaker A: I mean, but even then he's like, you could have like regular season home runs for Schwabs. Over, under at 38 and a half under.
Well, they swings at everything, so.
[00:29:34] Speaker B: Right. I mean exactly.
[00:29:35] Speaker A: Much like Bellinger.
[00:29:37] Speaker B: Yes, Bellinger.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: He's 23 and a half. Is the over. Under.
[00:29:41] Speaker B: Yikes. Yep.
[00:29:42] Speaker A: I'd go over on that one actually.
[00:29:43] Speaker B: But I, Bellinger, he's getting up there in age. I'd go under actually.
[00:29:48] Speaker A: Really?
[00:29:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I really would.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Hey, now we're, we're finally reaching the era of the stuff I wanted to find.
[00:29:56] Speaker B: Excellent.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: It's like to reach the playoffs.
New York Mets. Yes.
Negative 263. No, 165.
[00:30:10] Speaker B: I would say yes on that because basically every team makes the playoffs now with Major League baseball rules, so. Sure.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: I hate, I hate the new wild card crap.
[00:30:20] Speaker A: It is a lot.
[00:30:21] Speaker B: Yeah. What's it? Six, six teams or. Hold on.
[00:30:26] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:30:27] Speaker B: No, it's your teams. It's 18.
[00:30:28] Speaker A: Well, I found your Braves before I found the, the Dodgers so far. But you wanna, you want some numbers on that?
[00:30:37] Speaker B: Win the World Series or not?
[00:30:38] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. Just to reach playoffs.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: Oh, to reach the playoffs, sure.
[00:30:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Yes is negative 400. So basically if you put five bucks down, you're going to win dollar.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: You're going to win a dollar.
[00:30:51] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
[00:30:52] Speaker B: Yay. Because they're going to make it.
[00:30:53] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
No is plus 230. So you basically win 10 bucks and some change.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:31:04] Speaker A: On a five dollar bet for that.
[00:31:07] Speaker B: That's something.
[00:31:08] Speaker A: Give me those Dodgers. Where are they at?
[00:31:11] Speaker B: I would love to see. No, I, I, that would be, I.
[00:31:14] Speaker A: Know, that's amazing to me.
That's what I want. Hey, there you are.
[00:31:18] Speaker B: I want to see what do you lose money if they make the playoffs?
[00:31:25] Speaker A: I'm gonna click yes. Like just to see what the case is. I want to see what the number payout is. Exactly. So two reach playoffs. Yes. Negative 2500.
No. Is plus 650. Now if I put $5 in bet right now. Today's debt date is January 26th. For those at home, 2025 to put $5 on. Yes. For the Dodgers to make it, you will win 20 cents.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: That's awesome.
[00:31:59] Speaker A: If you put $5 down on no, you will win with your $5 back, you will win $37 and 50 cents.
[00:32:11] Speaker B: Jeez.
I would love to see somebody in the NL west like the Padres. Well, anybody really.
[00:32:24] Speaker A: Well, you know, it's so funny because you have like that, that wide range gap, like a 3,000point gap from, from the Dodgers, right?
[00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: And then you go to the next one up, which is Seattle Mariners. No, to make the playoffs is negative. Like 149 versus yes. Being plus 100. Like the range of that is only 300 versus 3000.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: What are the odds of the Colorado Rockies making the playoffs?
[00:32:53] Speaker A: I just saw them too, so.
[00:32:55] Speaker B: Because that's gonna be the opposite spectrum of the NL west. Like it's basically. Nah. Nah, Doc.
[00:33:03] Speaker A: Okay. Holy.
[00:33:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:06] Speaker A: Okay.
You are not wrong.
[00:33:11] Speaker B: It's like the complete opposite. I would imagine it might be.
[00:33:16] Speaker A: Yep. All right. Four for no. For your Colorado Rockies. Ed.
[00:33:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:26] Speaker A: To not make the playoffs is negative 10,000.
A five dollar bet wins you five cents.
[00:33:35] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:33:37] Speaker A: For yes. A $5 bet wins an additional $43.75.
[00:33:44] Speaker B: So you'd be at almost 50 bucks. If you put five bucks on the Rockies to make the playoffs, you are.
[00:33:50] Speaker A: Essentially a dollar quarter short.
[00:33:52] Speaker B: Yep.
I'd love to see the Rockies. Not for betting purposes, but see the Rockies make the playoffs.
[00:34:00] Speaker A: If you slept 20 bucks right now on Colorado Rockies to make the playoffs, you essentially like you put in 20 bucks, you will win all altogether. $195.
[00:34:13] Speaker B: Right?
[00:34:16] Speaker A: Fantastic.
[00:34:17] Speaker B: Yeah, they would, they would be my pick. If I were a betting man.
[00:34:22] Speaker A: I'm about ready to do it. I am not, I'm about ready to do that anyways. But then it runs into the stock game where we're just like, basically, if.
[00:34:32] Speaker B: The Rocky Rockies can pull a wild card because there's a wild card in each division, then there's a secondary wild card.
They, that counts as making the playoffs. If they make the wild card game.
[00:34:45] Speaker A: I believe I, I, I Had.
[00:34:49] Speaker B: I don't remember if that counts in the betting world or not, but in my eyes it does because they make the wild card game. But I don't know if that counts or not.
[00:34:58] Speaker A: I don't know either.
Oh, you know how last time that we were talking about, like, if you had Nickelback and Creed.
[00:35:05] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:35:06] Speaker A: Who would be the. The third.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: Yeah, the. The. The opening band. Instead of. Because Creed and Nickelback would co headline.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: I have three bands for you.
[00:35:17] Speaker B: Oh, three. Oh, it's a festival now.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: Yes. Nice one.
And these are in no particular order I should probably point out.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: Sure, sure.
[00:35:29] Speaker A: One, Imagine Dragons.
[00:35:31] Speaker B: Heck yes.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: Two Hoobastank.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: And three Maroon five.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: Wow.
That's. You know what's funny is I'd actually go to that.
Except for the Imagine Dragons park. I'd probably show up late.
[00:35:50] Speaker A: Yeah, we're like, I think it's only two dudes as well, so what the hell.
[00:35:55] Speaker B: Imagine Dragons, I thought.
[00:35:56] Speaker A: No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
[00:35:58] Speaker B: But it could be.
[00:36:00] Speaker A: No, I'm thinking. I'm thinking of old J, that's who jay.
[00:36:05] Speaker B: Or like 21 pilots is only two, maybe three members, but.
[00:36:10] Speaker A: But I think they got a road tour. Oh, speaking of tours.
[00:36:13] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:36:16] Speaker A: It never seems to fail. Like, you know, we're setting up for a marriage this year.
[00:36:21] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:36:22] Speaker A: Yep. And me, Ed, we're getting married.
[00:36:23] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:36:24] Speaker A: Wait, that's not it. And at the same time as it does, when one plans for one specific thing, like a concert, three things will show up at that exact same time.
[00:36:39] Speaker B: I know what you're going with.
[00:36:41] Speaker A: Do you know what I'm going with?
[00:36:42] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure I do, but go on.
[00:36:45] Speaker A: In this particular case, Nine Inch Nails in Portland.
[00:36:48] Speaker B: I know.
[00:36:50] Speaker A: The day before.
[00:36:51] Speaker B: Oh, the day before.
[00:36:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: Because I told Becky that Nine Inch Nails was touring again or touring. And she goes, you'll have to go with Cody. I'm like, maybe that would be a.
[00:37:04] Speaker A: Hell of a thing. That all of a sudden I'd have to swap over my honeymoon plans to just go to Denver with Ed. Just.
[00:37:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I could. I could see, you know, then the wife saying, yeah, Cody went on the honeymoon with his best friend. Dad.
[00:37:22] Speaker A: We already.
[00:37:23] Speaker B: They went to see Nine Inch Nails.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: We already got tickets for Weird Al the day after.
[00:37:28] Speaker B: Oh, you got. You guys are going to see Weird Al.
[00:37:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Awesome. And Piddles.
What a pity party.
[00:37:34] Speaker B: Yeah, something like that. I wish I could have gotten tickets to. That was awesome.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: Yes. So that the day after the wedding, like, we'll be doing like the, Like. Thanks to everybody and all that lunch stuff. And then we hit the trek to Missoula.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: For Missoula. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. We're Weird Al. So, so good. I saw him. God, it was 25 years ago now.
[00:38:00] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
Still, the dude puts on a show like he is a show's.
[00:38:06] Speaker B: For some reason that surprises me that you're sound actually excited to go see Weird Al.
[00:38:14] Speaker A: You know, I'm not mad about it. It was a gift.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: Oh, okay, nice.
[00:38:19] Speaker A: And I, I never look at gift like, oh, why did you do this kind of thing? Right?
[00:38:27] Speaker B: Optimistic and thankful.
[00:38:30] Speaker A: Well, yes, absolutely. One, it's a show. It's. It's entertainment and it's going to be fun. And especially Weird Al, who it puts on a rock star show every time.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: And his band behind him is incredible. Yes, they're probably some of the best musicians in the world, actually.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: But in more of these and trying times, one should have all the amenities to be able to go and have some fun.
[00:38:58] Speaker B: Right?
[00:38:59] Speaker A: Life is too short to be too serious.
[00:39:02] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:39:03] Speaker A: Like, even now I'm about an hour away from like meeting up with Big Corey at hooligans and yelling at a TV screen like you.
[00:39:12] Speaker B: You literally just went like tgif, like life is too short.
[00:39:16] Speaker A: Enjoy it, man.
[00:39:18] Speaker B: Like family matters right there, buddy.
[00:39:20] Speaker A: You know why? It's because I've been listening to a lot of Dalai Lama.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:39:25] Speaker A: Like homeboy. Even, even in age is like, man, Tibet will never be free, but try to find happiness. He was like, okay, man, thanks. I, I obviously went the layman's terms of deciphering a Tibetan monk, but whatever, whatever. Knew where I was going.
[00:39:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, craziness, man.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: I. I don't know. We. We better be bracing ourselves for a month out of what. What has transpired in the past where we had, oh, we were talking about Kid Rock and Elon being idiots and then they up their game. They did like, they doubled down because they sure did.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: Because Kid Rock is apparently really creepy now.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: Oh, he was. On December 18, he was prepared to take on ticketing industry because he, you know, these boys with orange and. Yeah, and then he does an interview.
I. I think you, you best describe it.
[00:40:34] Speaker B: Yeah, he. He went on an interview or interview. Did an interview with the BBC. I, I think because it's in the article I read is more or less a sound clip. But in the interview, I think it was about his performance that he put on for Captain Cheeto.
[00:40:52] Speaker A: So this is a. I pulled up the article.
[00:40:55] Speaker B: Oh, the BBC.
[00:40:56] Speaker A: Yeah, it was well, it's Comic Sans, but still.
[00:40:59] Speaker B: Oh, Comic Sans. But yeah, it was a BBC interview is what it was.
[00:41:02] Speaker A: Kid Rock stuns BBC presenter with his gross and cringy attempt at flirting during a live interview.
[00:41:08] Speaker B: Yeah, they were. I think it was just about a performance or something they were doing is what the interview was supposed to be about.
And he just like, he started out, like, because he couldn't see the gal doing the interview. And he just like, creepy goes, you sound hot.
[00:41:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:41:28] Speaker B: And you're like. And the gal's just like dumbfound by that kind of trying to move past it. And basically Kid Rock's like, well, what are you wearing? Is like just so, like super creepy.
And she said basically she was at a ski resort and all this. He goes like, you want to go skiing with me? Let's go out on a date. Based in so many words that I'm like.
And it's by the clip. I. I saw or listened to it kind of sounded like the producer jumped in and. Yeah. Moved it along. And I'm like, it's out there if.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: You'Re looking for it.
[00:42:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it's super creepy. I'm just like, what? These people have basically, they have no boundaries.
[00:42:12] Speaker A: No.
[00:42:13] Speaker B: And that's insane to me that they just think they can get it, get away with it. And Hit Rock really does sound like just this creepy trailer trash redneck that he really plays up the part now, you know, considering he's from, you know, middle class Detroit.
[00:42:34] Speaker A: Man. That's how far the fallen. Really.
[00:42:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
I just. I don't get it.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: Yeah. And so we'll see how the next round of chaos comes around the way in the next month.
[00:42:52] Speaker B: I. I miss when the biggest scandal was just Jewish space lasers causing fires in California.
At least those were entertaining.
[00:43:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Now it's. And our friend Ro, who has joined us on the podcast in the past, was right in the thick of it.
[00:43:11] Speaker B: Oh, was she? Yeah.
[00:43:13] Speaker A: Yeah. The. So, like, thankfully, to my knowledge, their stuff is like, they were right on the evacuation zone.
[00:43:23] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:43:23] Speaker A: Basically of that. So. But still, like, it is devastating out there. So it's. Our hearts go out to our homies in LA just because we know exactly what fires do.
[00:43:36] Speaker B: Oh, God. Yeah. We deal with them just about every summer here in Montucky.
[00:43:41] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:43:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:43:42] Speaker A: It's just.
So we've had about. We had about a month. So now we're going to reverse it. Going to flip the old reverse uno card reversing and hopefully not have a.
[00:43:59] Speaker B: Bad month in February.
[00:44:02] Speaker A: I. I don't know. Man. I'm gonna just keep my head, like. Keep your head low, optimism high.
[00:44:06] Speaker B: Try, try to find the positive in things.
[00:44:10] Speaker A: Always look for the bright side of life.
[00:44:18] Speaker B: Sing it, girlfriend.
[00:44:19] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. That's as much as I got for the morning.
[00:44:23] Speaker B: Excellent. That was more than I thought you'd give.
[00:44:26] Speaker A: Thanks. Thanks. I've been up since 5, so. Hell, yeah.
[00:44:29] Speaker B: Oh, well, lucky you.
[00:44:31] Speaker A: Yeah. And now it's time for a nap. So with that, I think this has been a good, good session of what you thinking, friend? Yeah. I am Cody Linda Berry, the host with the most. But I couldn't do this alone. I got my buddy.
[00:44:46] Speaker B: That's me, Ed Worrell. And you can find us now on bluesky. Whatcha thinking? Bluesky Social.
Whatcha thinking at Mastodon Social. So we're on all of the social medias that aren't Facebook or X.
[00:45:05] Speaker A: Awesome.
Thank you guys for listening. Hope you have a great day. Hope you have a great month. We'll get through together.
Ciao.
Why'd I say ciao?
