Sports Limbo, Draft Hacker Watch, 4/17/20 | Game Time Decisions By SportsGrid

I've expressed uh my loneliness. I need to see a shrink over no hockey like it's really. It's made my uh colon enlarge, and I have I'm just not doing well. The playoffs are the best time of year. Hockey playoffs are absolutely nothing like it, and you just don't have that juice, so NHL, there's no MLP, there's no NBA, there's definitely a little of something missing. The sports grid network the morning after teddy Bridgewater actually did a virtual press conference, yeah media that was so intriguing to me.

This is what we're going to have to probably see with interviews player, reactions and whatnot. When we see the NFL draft happen, the NBA Draft happens to tie a bow on that actually, I can't confirm that the NFL has sent 100 mobile. Video kits will have an advanced level of technology. That's not just like skype. The sports grid network line up later the early line when you're going to have the Ryder Cup and all the majors happen.

Even I don't even know how they're gonna work in the FedEx. You know cup championship there's a lot of. How do you pick a Ryder Cup team based upon what I mean? There's a lot of questions. If it all goes well, then it's going to be crazy. Certainly from a fan standpoint, you may be quarantined again there uh sports fans, where you're not going to want to leave the house like at all the sports grid network game time decisions.

There is one type of beer that will screw you up, but when you go to a bar, and you don't know that they've cleaned their lines that could make you go local, like I've been to places where I've had like three or four drafts. The hell's going on here. Yeah, draft beer be careful of course, of course, there's the beer uh that my father used to crush, and it ended up crushing him was uh the fandom, the logo of it is like hell, the sports grid network. You are watching and listening to game time decisions. I am David Lorenzo welcome to everybody tuning in on SB nation radio.

We're excited to be here following Scotty, Terrell, Scotty's weekdays. Four to six. We follow him. I am ready for the town of the raging redhead cam steward we're also broadcasting on the grand sports grid, uh video. So if you're tuning in just to the audio only shout out to everybody and the show's just one-hour on SB nation radio, from six to seven but um, you can tune into SB nation um into onto their website, and they're broadcasting.

The second hour of the show you can find our videos up over at sportsgrid. com as well, so we're talking about the national football league draft and Galen hurts his over number uh right now is 62 and a half, so he's going to be drafted in the first 62 picks uh 62 or after 62, and as we were saying, 60 young guys, 32 picks in the first round, 32 picks in the second round.64. , I'm not a mathematician, but I'm smart enough to figure that out. So I'm also smart enough to figure out. That means he's got to be a late second round pick or better, and I don't see that, like you- and I have talked a lot about these quarterbacks Jacob season will be that that's.

Where he's going to go, yes, Galen hurts and- and I think the odds makers got it right originally, I think they were right. It was like 72 and a half. I think it was even 74 and a half, and it's been the media, but I find it interesting because it's not like every time you turn the TV on people are talking about how great Galen hurts is they're, really they aren't. So it goes to show the power of Mel viper actually in which Mel paper people, Mel hyper releases. I think like a mock draft daily, like he updates it.

I don't know it's like for ESPN insiders, yeah yeah, you have to pay for it, I'm not paying for it. You got two picks out of 32 right, no problem, I'm not paying. Thank you! I'm not paying, for this show I'll, give you more winners, so, but Mel viper, his latest big board, has Galen, hurts 49 and then suddenly we're getting plus money yeah with Galen hurt. So it's going to go over we'll get back to the NFL draft a little but sad times, good news, bad news and uh. Let's get to the good news first.

Actually, yes, I, like some good news. Please yeah! We didn't get to this. Actually yeah cam. It's good news like a fridge full of beer, yeah barbecue in the backyard going like that old lady, you told me you called Coors. She thought she was getting one beer.

She got 180. ! That's good news! Why does everything happen to other people? I don't know if you put a sign, go stand in your window. Yeah, get your neighbor say, listen, I'm gonna, take a picture. Have a beer and say need more beer, yeah ain't. Nobody no course: ain't sending you 180 anything.

They won't even send you 180 empty cans. Buddy, I told you I had a. I had a picture of steam whistle like up to my whole kitchen was filled with empties and I like sent them hey, I'm a big cricket like not even like a case. I remember actually once though, when we me, and you were working at the score, we did get pork products and I did get beer because we mentioned them on the air before that was from local. That's from local people, that's true! That's not like the the national chains didn't hook you up, but on the plus side, you've been bitching and cam's.

A big golf fan, you've been crying about golf and about. I don't know why they're waiting so long to play golf, they could play golf. So the PGA originally announced uh their major schedule, championship schedule, which I believe was the PGA in the first week of august um, and they said they were going to resume in like mid-July. I think it was like July 22nd or 23rd yeah. Okay, you got to be happy, they've revised the plan and listen.

We I and what did I tell you. I said the PGA are run by smart people. You know I mean like they're, they're, intellectually smart, oh big time they didn't get stupid and say: oh, no, no! No! We're playing! May 1st we're doing this. They said no, no! Well! The majors are in August, starting that, and we'll try to get back mid July. They saw you know what we could do this, I think a month earlier.

So you got to be happy cam PGA supposed to scheduled to be coming back. What is it June 10th right now you know yeah June 10th June 11th uh Byron, nelson in Fort Worth Texas. So Texas is a part, hey man. These guys are in right now, and I'm going to tell you something. I love it without the fans I'll tell you how many tournaments we've watched, where I see a ball going out of bounds from a guy that's loose off the tee.

Hey it hit the fan. It stayed in play now, we're going to see the players actually are going to hate, this guy's game, guys like Phil Michelson, with no fans. I have some betting edges for you him again in match-up bets. How many balls has Phil Michelson kept in play because it hit a cart hit. A fan hit a tree bounce back in there without fans that ball is going to keep rolling and rolling, and I love the PGA.

What they're doing you don't need the fans and uh yeah? Unfortunately, the Canadian open got postponed, but in this new um you know new schedule. Some lower grade tournaments are going to have to go even if historic, but I love the fact that it's going to get back on June 11th at the Byron nelson, it's going to be good stuff. Now, there's still challenges ahead. At least they're they're they're they're scheduled yeah. So what you're saying Byron? Nelson, I'm sorry, Charles Schwab, Schwab say it used to be called the Byron, nelson yeah, Charles so yeah.

That's the Charles Schwab challenge June 11th through 14th, yet there's still there's still travel bans. There is's still travel bans that are in place. So you know, June 11th is still a little ways away, there's a little of a light at the end of the tunnel a little yes and no. I think what we're seeing there's, no there's, no clean, there's, no clean slate, there's no magic date to do. Everything's going to be back, and I think you're going to see some sports will be back.

Some sports won't be back. Some sports will try to come back and fail. Some sports um will try to come back and succeed and, let's start off with major league baseball right now very, very difficult, challenging you're talking about four and a half five months. Although there is a push for it, there is a push uh for their new start, they're hoping for like the fourth of July around then it's like a symbolic uh situation, yeah. If your major league baseball, you got a problem when mike trout comes out and says yeah, I'm not leaving my pregnant wife yeah, and he brought up a good point, and I brought this up too because I said all right if you're quarantined, and you tell the guys- listen if something really serious happens just leave, it is what it is, and we'll deal with it, but as he stated he goes.

So if I leave to go for the birth of my kid he goes do I need to be quarantined again for two weeks after yeah. That's isolated, that's interesting! Very so he brought that up, and then he brought up too. He specifically said he said: I'm not living in a hotel room for four and a half months, going to play a baseball game and then going back into the room being quarantined. He said that just sounds crazy to me, and he's like you know he doesn't talk a lot like trout, my trout, never talks. Furthermore, he never says father.

No one even knows what he looks like barely and like he's unknown yeah as a superstar one of the most unknown superstars, I can't read, is more known than he is yeah. That's correct, like they're on a sports poll like Kenneth for read, mike trout was like 55th like. Basically it was you asked common people are the q rating? So not you know not outside a stadium like you, basically go to a mall, or you're online, and you just ask everybody point-blank: have you ever heard of dark Peter, oh yeah? Of course, then it gets to you ever heard of Kenneth fared, oh yeah, the guy in the Denver Nuggets with the deadlocks yeah. I know that guys right, mike trout, ranked 54th out of names, that's craziness! That's craziness! Yeah, it tells you Eric, Peter was 13th and Darren cheater hasn't played it forever. Darren Peter is still the most famous baseball player like in with modern, like on with you asked people like if you asked like if you called the 100 just random Americans right now on the phone you see you ever heard of many Machado.

Very few are going to say: yes, maybe might be a big, big star. Bryce Harper baseball doesn't do a good job of promoting their stars like if you go. Oh, you ever heard of Chris Paul they'll be like got a guy at a state farm commercial. Exactly like you, I mean, like the other sports, do a better job of marketing their players. That's one of the one thing with baseball, so college sports are screwed guys.

Oh they're, yeah that, let's call it that's one thing, and even the ads are starting to realize this. If there are no students on campus there are no games, if there's no vaccination, there's no, and they're not pros guys, so you can't tell them. Oh, you're going to live in a bubble and quarantine. You can't do it like. It's just, and you know what's going crazy right now to cam, and I called this on the Redshift filtered podcast.

I said this earlier in the week before the sky started to fall on them all. I said if I was a blue chip college basketball player, there's no way in hell. Furthermore, I would go play college this year. Yeah, you don't even know if they're playing go anywhere, um there's going to be no fans like what are you getting out of this you're going to like live in quarantine like to play for coach k for free yep like you, and I'm in, and you saw the michigan had their highest recruit. Yeah, kids said sorry coach.

I love you Juan Howard. I was going to come here, but whatever that's going on, I'm going overseas, I'm going to get paid before I go to the RBA. Very smart five kids left Kentucky earlier in the week, and that tells me that Caligari told them to leave. Yes, Caligari must have told them guys don't stick around go make money overseas because don't worry about losing eligibility, there's no eligibility to lose. I'm going to tell you this and we me, and you've talked about this before um.

I think it was trending this way anyway, before kovid19. If I'm a young person, you know you talk about one and done's guys going right to the NBA Luka ionic the success people have had playing in the overseas. Why not get paid euros? The way I look at it is I'm a young guy. I could go to the NBA and I could still put food on the table buddy in my pockets and get life experience overseas. The college experience until the NCAA.

You know forks out, checks it to me. It does like you me and you. If we were in a basketball team, I go buddy I'll, see you in Barcelona. You go here whatever we're going to go to Europe and make some cake, and we're going to make some real money. If we're good enough we're going to get drafted.

I don't know if you are good enough to play in Barcelona, somewhere, somewhere yeah New Zealand I'll go to New Zealand all day, all night yeah. You want to pay me New Zealand, I'm in Barcelona, yeah, that's a good team Eddie! I used to. I used a very high exactly right, yeah, exactly like I'm just saying the NCAA. It was trending this way anyway, a couple of years ago it was probably about five years ago Emmanuel moodier. So now in the NBA I mean he's not a star in the NBA right now, but a kid's, a multi-millionaire yeah um.

So Emmanuel punier was supposed to go to SMU with Larry brown. All right and there was always a problem bro. There was something with his grades and then there was this and then all did he get. Did he get a free dinner once at McDonald's three months like um, it was all like, and he got suspended? They told him. You can play the NCAA after said you can play, but not until Christmas or something yeah, and he went to um.

He went to Larry brown and he goes listen. I was going to play. I was going to play bro, but I've had enough and dude he. He made five million dollars for one year to play in China. Ding ding ding like why the hell would you play for free at SMU and down.

He gave me a 4.8 million like he got like you know, 13 trillion, yen or whatever the hell it was. It worked out to like four or five million dollars he got, and he would have played for freeze right out of high school, and he booms. He got four million dollars, and then he got drafted like seventh overall in the NBA after yeah about how it was like. Then he got drafted right. You know I mean like so.

If you're a kid like, why would you play and think about this camp? The whole reason you don't even want to go to college in the first place, you're going there, you don't care, you don't like it. Zion did because he's a good kid, and he actually seemed to enjoy the experience. But a lot of guys like Ben Simmons, said LSU was the worst year of his life uh Darren fox. When asked. Even if he got paid uh, he could have made money in Kentucky, which you know he did wink wink.

But he said f, no, I wouldn't go yeah like basically no like it's not like. They sell this. All your college experience yeah most of these guys are only there because they have to be there. They don't like it, but what's what's the one good thing about it like? Why do you choose these schools? Every these kids? It's like all right I'll, be on ESPN every night, yeah I'll get a shoe contract out of this I'll build my brand and let's be real. The chicks are really hot.

On campus. True right, the parties are cool. What do you think you go to USC for, like that's part of the perk, yeah you're USC Trojan and dude? Look at the cheerleaders' bro you're going to be going to the parties with them. Yeah, there are no parties anymore! There's no college life. There is no hot check.

The cam they're, not there. Campus is closed. So you're going to be there on an empty campus risking yourself. You know college basketball, guys they're going to have massive problems and even if they play next year, it's going to be all white guys. It's going to be like, like I'm dead, serious for betting purposes, take teams like Creighton teams like to take teams that don't have guys that are blue chippers that are leaving, because, if you're, a young blue chip team, I'm telling you like duke Kansas, Michigan's Kentucky losing kids if you're a blue chipper you're like.

Why am I going to go through this quarantine, crap or the uncertainty when china's open for business then they'll pay me. This is the thing Gabe there's a domino effect too. This is really going to happen where the NCAA- and you said it. Basketball is in big trouble. They're going to have to come out with a plan to pay these kids even the kid that gets a job at enterprise after he's done the grocery store or whatever, because there's too many options other places- and you said it, take a look at the landscape.

Now there is no incentive for these guys to go and play in an empty campus. There's going to be right, no, ladies, to have sex with no there's a lot of problems. No I'm just bringing up. You said it. The college experience so and let's remember one thing- a lot of these guys too also have siblings in trouble.

I'd like to make money instantly. It's not one of those things. It's like. I need cash. Now I don't have time to screw around until the NCAA figures it out.

It's like a guy in a commercial, it's my money. I got it now. I have an annuity, but I need cash now, jg Wentworth, eight, seven, seven cash. Now those guys really went out all out with that they did dude see the commercial, the mom's like cleaning up after the guy in the basement, like I'd, really like my own place- oh my god Broadway they're on stage, but he comes up. Here's your money, sir.

I know here's your money, buddy I've actually been depressed. After like a bad Sunday, NFL gambling, and I've been like man. I wish I had some money coming from jg Wentworth right now, exactly where's, my money. I need it now. Furthermore, I need cash now, I'm going to witch it's kind of sad well whatever it is, what it is people dying aside.

This is just this just real life, but it sucks is the NBA playoffs would be starting on Saturday yeah. The NBA regular season would have uh it's over now. The NBA season, uh, is, is done, it's uh concluded and uh. The playoffs would be. It would be set to start and very depressing, because I was planning on going to the playoff opener Toronto Raptors on April.

The 18th- and you know, what's really more frustrating about it. I still have the ticket yeah. This is what are you doing it like, I said, fan duel is closed, and I have a ticket cab for the raptors to win the division, and I'm curious to see. Do I get the money back for the ticket? What if the NBA announces, I think the NBA will play, so I think the NBA will play in Vegas in August. Like my deal is, I say, august, all right, NBA playoffs in August, so when they announced this, like, I better get paid for the raptors winning the division.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying like! Oh! Is it guaranteed? No, but they were up three games and if the seeding are over, I don't want to hear no. No, they didn't play no, no, no! No, they won the division like if the seeding are set. Then I want to get paid for the ticket. No, it's plus 1.90. I got 200 bucks, it's like 300 bucks, it's literally it's like 690 dollars.

I have on this I'd, be very concerned, and I didn't understand the way they did it in college. There's no college season at my sports book. The team with the number one ranking before the tournament would be the champion that would make the Kansas jayhawks champions without a tournament media futures on Kansas. We don't get a cent. Those books called it void.

Books. Fan duel was very nice because they had the conference college basketball tournaments going on when everything got shut down, and they paid people for teams that got eliminated like so. Basically, like window will play North Carolina to win the account tournament they lost, they got smashed by Syracuse. Remember they beat Virginia tech in the first game, and they got smashed by Syracuse and then the next day. Everything got shut down, they refunded him.

You got to be kidding me and I even said I wouldn't even refund you. They lost. You don't have a drop like yeah. You got eliminated before the tournament got started. Furthermore, you don't get your money back, but it was pretty classy of fan duel, okay, yeah, so we'll see how they handle my NBA future uh ticket all right, we'll get into some uh more into the morning after in the NBA we've done a lot of talking about the playoffs and how the NBA could potentially move the playoffs to a neutral site.

Now, you're telling me you don't think that the NBA is going to jump right into the playoffs. You think they're going to have a regular season. This is a plan, that's feasible, a 16 team, neutral site tournament, we're hearing, maybe best of three series uh. Instead of best of seven, the sports grid network Pharrell coast or my son. If I was all Davis and I was rocking Elvis sweatsuit diamond encrusted, glasses and sunglasses hanging from a chain worth 10 grand, would you not tell your son? He looks like a with a bold haircut honestly just go with a toupee.

It's its better, it's just better than what you have it's all growing from a center spot in the middle of his head, the sports grid network. Are you ready for the nation's first, and only free 24-hour network dedicated to you? The betting and fantasy sports enthusiast sports grid will provide you with real-time content, statistics and gaming intelligence.

This is sports grid, get on the grid game time decisions. There is one type of beer that will screw you up, but when you go to a bar- and you don't know that they've cleaned their lines that could make you go local, like I've been to places where I've had like three or four drafts.

The hell's going on here. Yeah, draft beer be careful of course, of course, there's the beer uh that my father used to crush, and it ended up crushing him was uh the fandom, the logo of it is like hell, the sports grid network. You are watching and listening to game time decisions. I am Gabriel Brunson. Let's keep rolling with order down to rage redhead ken Stewart uh.

You know what it actually hit me. I was like damn I's one of these actors that I actually legitimately liked. I like a lot of his movies, and I'm thinking uh like if someone was going to play you in a movie. Actually he would have been good. He would have had to dye his hair red, but he would have been a perfect doctor to play you but um.

Unfortunately, unfortunately, Brian Kennedy has passed away Brian, I, like Brian Kennedy, to wow. What do you think of when, when, when I say Brian Denny, the first role, I think of Brian Denny, he was the uh, the angry sheriff that wanted to shoot Rambo in the first Rambo movie? He always plays that guy. That's the thing about Danny! He gets pretty fired up and like a lot of those movies, he plays uh the powder keg type of guy too he's in he's an interesting guy Gabe. You don't really hear his name, but he is like when you look at a track record. He's been in a lot of stuff like the thing is its kind of like a good character actor.

He gets the call a lot of the time, but you don't get to hear about him, he's like he's kind of like team b, but uh. Furthermore, he always shows up for work. The thing is with a guy like Brian Danny is everybody sort of remembers them in another movie? Right like people are like. I remember him from uh. People are saying Tommy boy see, I don't think of him and Tommy boy.

I know what I think of I think of him playing the killer clown John Wayne Gary. Another great call. No, I do remember him in Tommy boy right, that's Tommy's! Dad right! Do you remember Tommy boy, you're, great, all right he's, always like the fun guy yeah, the guy, the guy's, a great actor? I'm going to give him more than Tommy boy all right. No, you said it but Gabe, listen to this golden globe. Two tony awards: six prime time Emmy nominations rolls Gorky park, Silverado, cocoon FX, presumed innocent first blood, Rambo Romeo and Juliet knights of cups, death of a salesman.

He had a nice run, though he made it to 81. Um. He was in a lot of other shows too, like you know what I mean like the like. I remember in like law and order he'd be the guy who's like played like the corporate pervert. You know on vacation in New York and hey, hey.

What are you doing with those hookers and stuff yeah? It's like hey. I was just. I was just talking to her hey. What are you talking about there SVP back off, like you know what I mean he was in a lot of different stuff, but I've always liked Kennedy. I thought he was kind of one of those guys that you said it like.

Actually, like he's one of those guys that is actually better than what you think it is because you named a couple of things like uh, like almost Shakespearean type of things like the guy would do a lot of uh side roles but better than he is, but he just tried to make a paycheck after a while, we all got to get paid. You know what a perfect movie is. I don't know if you know this one, it was called bestseller, and it's in 1987. Bestseller, okay, yeah yeah, bestseller, and it stars Brian Kennedy and jams woods. James woods like crazy on Twitter, now he's always getting banned from twitter.

He's like all crazy political and stuff, but uh. The movie opens in 1972 as a group of gunmen wearing Richard Nixon, Halloween mass steal evidence from a police evidence, storage unit, killing several police officers in the process officer Dennis Meaghan he's always a cop too yeah Brian Kennedy, seriously wounded after stabbing one of the robbers he survives and publishes a book called inside job on his experience years later, each is now an acclaimed author and a much decorated. Detective working on his next novel, he suffers from writer's block and uh. He hooks up with jams woods. I don't want to give this script away, but got to do it again.

Get that blood flowing again sounds like to me just to figure that one out Gabe, but that sounds like no. But the thing is he wasn't part of the inside job. It was an inside job, but Brian Donna wasn't part of it, so he tries to. He writes a book trying to solve it and jams woods comes into the equation, but uh, very, very good movie for people that haven't seen it I'd like better than watching like Joe, the tiger exotic or whatever the hell that guy is uh all right. So let's continue on with some of these.

These uh questions of the day so rest in peace rest in peace to uh, to Brian Kennedy, great actor. So if I asked you cat who would uh who would play you if you said I, if, when you who should play cam Stewart in the life, the life and story of cam Stewart in the movie, it's interesting actually Kennedy makes a lot of sense, but now he's passed away. I always thought Michael Rappaport, but he's like got the New York accent like I remember I just saw actually funny. I was watching law and order the other day he was a one of the perverts that was America yeah. Furthermore, I don't know, I don't know who else like? Who else looks like me? I don't know you tell me.

I thought he was a guy rap reporter yeah Michael Rappaport has a thick-ass New York accent yeah, but if he's a real advertiser, Michael Rappaport is thin. Yeah, that's a good point: who's portly, uh Goodman's, too old yeah. I don't know okay get in here, Lucio yeah, yeah yeah! You got me one rob welcome! Who has robbed wells? I don't even know what that is. I've never heard of rapper, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, very good, he's a big jerk in real life. Furthermore, I interviewed him actually yeah.

My girlfriend was disappointed too. I told you when she was doing the Wayne Gretzky spirits, uh, trailer park. Boys came out with some uh spirits as well, and she was interviewing him she goes. I was really disappointed because she loved the show, and she loves rush right, like cork, convey and uh and bubbles she's a big rush fan, so she interviewed those guys for the whiskey, and she told me she came away very disappointed, gab every disappointed. I um I had them on.

They were actually at a Toronto. Blue, jay, Boston, Red Sox game was the season opener yeah. It was like celebrity. It was like a big night. I just I don't know if you remember, as she was the night, the Toronto blue jay fans.

They were given big fridge, magnets yeah, and they threw them, but it got dangerous like the magnets like picked up weight like from the upper deck they're like their magnets right yeah, so yeah people were getting hit in the back of the head with magnets all night. They were like yeah. We can't give people anything in Toronto anymore, they just throw it, so it was like. I remember. People were throwing magnets all night everywhere and uh, but slash played the national anthem and the trailer park.

Boys were there. I think they might have thrown out the first pitch. I interviewed the trailer park, boys and uh Ricky was a jerk bubbles was a jerk. They were, they were in character like they wouldn't come out of character, except the only one that did come out of character was Julian. He was normal like he was like uh.

He was just like that's cool, but it was funny he had the drink. Yeah. Of course, he did. Hey he's got his armpits. He had the rum and coke with him, and he was standing on the baseball field with the rum and coke.

I'm interviewing him because it was uh. It was pretty, pretty good and you guys don't know, but, like me, me and cat know guys on that show and stuff like that. You do um, and it was crazy he's like that in real life, Sam, unbelievable there's, some name in the show Sam low sky. I think that was his name, the character on the show caveman, Sam, that's right, yeah Gucci knows a lot about trailer park, boys, you're, you're, very good yeah. We work with the guy.

Oh yeah, yeah. We work with caveman Sam he's a piece of work. Trust me he's always coming up with ideas for Gabe, hey Gabe. I got this one now you're coming to my comedy, show on the weekend this guy had the most defensive jokes, oh yeah, oh yeah, his jokes are like he'd, be like he's the type of guy that would be like hey, come up to me: yeah Sam law school. That was it, but in real life he was the same way yeah.

He come up to me, and you go hey last night uh because me and my girlfriend uh wanted to have a threesome. He goes uh. We found a girl in a wheelchair, but my building's, not all access, and they start laughing like he thinks stuff. Like that's funny right, like he's like. Oh you know, he'd have like amputees, sex, jokes and like he's too hardcore for them.

Oh, I know like in real life, Lucio yeah and our producer Lucio's big trailer park, boy fat in real life. They're like this guy's in that job, like yeah, I mean like that's how he got on the show you're right he's, not an actor like he met. He met like Ricky or bubbles on a plane, like literally he was on a plane going to sell air conditioners, and they were basically stating we're doing this show, and they told him that buddy went back to like the producers and said listen. I just met this guy. That he's like a sleazeball like he is this show and that's how Sam got cast, because I asked him: how did you meet the trailer park boys? He goes oh, I met one of them on a plane once yeah, because I didn't know them because I was selling air conditioners like air conditioners you're right about Sam, though like no joke like we were even in the lunchroom game and there's like women there, and he's like cracking jokes like that, yeah that guy had no filter, no Sam's a piece of work, fun.

Guy, though nice, nice gentleman just crazy, jokes, one thing the trailer park. Boys were ahead of their time on that when they did their movie in which in the movie they campaigned and lobbied against legalizing marijuana, because it would be bad for business for them exactly very ahead of their time. They go to the supreme court. To argue, then, why you're like look trump, says pot fat, all right, it's really because they have all this weed they're worried about getting stuck with exactly it's just too good bad for the hash, biz yeah, it's bad for Nashville. They clue it uh, that's a great show.

They kidnapped the guy in Russia. Oh, it's amazing yeah! It's just it's too good like we could go on and on trail park. Boys say we know. I know the other guy too who's the rapper uh. What's the rapper Richard garner knows him really well too j-rock yeah.

That guy is so good, like it's unbelievable he's so confused that guy, like we know him in real life, our buddy and buddy of me and cam that we do a show with is good friends with him, but I met him before, so I can't tell warm buddies with him. I get I'm buddies with the guy in our lady peace right, the drummer toddler yeah. He used to be on or off the record with him all the time the TV show so haggard does a podcast with Terrence right. So I sort of got to know him a bit through that and uh. But j-rock he's nothing like that in real life, no he's a brainier that guy he's like white is, but the thing is he's so talented, the guy that plays jay rock on trailer park boys.

He can do anything. Yeah like you, can tell him be like a white guy. That thinks he's black like j-rock, and he'll, be like. Oh, my god like it's, you just like nailed it, or you can tell him be serious and cry like he's not good of a talent, or he can do stand-up comedy the guy, like whatever you tell this guy, that he goes to podcast talking about life like whatever you tell him to do the guy's, not talented that guy. I don't think people realize how talented that guy really is no Jonathan Torrance.

He had a show before called Jon vision too, but it was a little of ahead of its time. Yeah! That's the thing! That's always the problem ahead of its time. No, that guy's got skills, uh, yeah, Leakey yeah. I love Mr Leah and uh yeah burger boy yeah. It's a great show.

I love congress, he didn't drink on the show, and he doesn't drink in real life. No, but yeah yeah, but it's crazy. But randy does yes the guy that never wears the shirt he does. Booze in real life he's got a perfect valley yeah. You can't take that belly.

That's not just burgers from a guy that knows a perfect drinking stomach. Randy's got it. That's yeah, that's boo's stomach for sure I can go on, like I said, bubble's, actually, a perfect guitarist! Really that's. Why then rush think bubbles was in a rush cover band? Yeah, yeah? I don't. I don't care.

Everyone knows bubbles like in Halifax he's. He was in the local band scene yeah, and he stumbled onto this thing. Dude he put the glasses on like he basically started as a lark at parties yeah for everybody, and he did a character and people were like. Oh, it's pretty funny and hey yeah made millions of dollars pretty funny. That's the one convey came out of the swamp Richard his little mannequin when he was on the prowl page.

Well, I've always liked actually too. I think I liked her in inception yeah that it's mind-blowing, and she used a little girl on the show, but she was so good on the show, hustling and stuff screw your icky should rip Ricky off she'd take off come back here. She was so good on the show as a kid that she developed into a good actress and stuff, and just for the record pooch yo, because I asked cause. I liked her in inception a lot, and I said, what's the deal with Ellen page like now she's with DiCaprio on these people. Is she a jerk because um she didn't participate in like with a there, was a reunion, and they couldn't get her and uh? They said no, no she's.

Really nice, though like she's, not a jerk, but she makes too much money. Basically, they were like it wasn't, even her being able to do it. It was like yeah, her agents, wouldn't let her do it. They were like no, no you're, not doing that like they can't afford you. You know what I mean.

It was one of those deals like they were like. No, she was cool. They said she came to the party and stuff like she encouraged it, but she was like no. I can't, I'm not doing that like all right, so our boy Pete's got a good one and Brits bring it up here. Rest in peace, Howard Finkel, you remember, Howard Finkel, one of the best one of the best Gabe.

I love Howard, Finkel, legend, legendary, Howard, single, our twinkle he's just he's a fake pinky, Finkel- hey, thank god, just got a perfect ring to it. Shout out to uh to Dave gross uh Dave gross is out there in the Bay Area. Uh he's a big fan of the show, he's just jumped on board recently. Actually so shout out to what's Dave he's been watching the AFL for a couple of years now, um, do you guys have any favorite teams uh in the Aussie football league? You do. I do I'm a diehard west coast, eagle, fed I'd, get up and go get the jersey and show.

I got a jersey hanging in the other room right now I just washed it. Furthermore, I actually have it. Furthermore, I have a website just washed it I'm washing every piece of clothing that I have all right. It's funny you mentioned that I'm going to do the same today. I'm gonna actually spend the money and put it on like the hot cycle to really get the germs.

You know that is clean yep because I'm going to bag it I'm not keeping everything I'm going through the process. Again, I'm getting tired of giving away clothes cam like it's insane every city, I'm like giving away clothes, I'm like how am I going to catch serrano from when uncle Santa Claus? Aka cam came with garbage bags full of your clothing uh. Some kids are walking around with nice jerseys these days yeah, I know and all the jerseys I've hung on to, though there's still a lot of them, and I'm not giving them away. I'm not giving away the warren moon jersey. Remember the Jim brown jersey that you got that we tried.

That's awesome. Those are keepers, yeah yeah. You got to draw the line somewhere: chad, Paddington, yes, cam, one, a nice, authentic, old-school, uh, throwback, Jim brown, jersey, brown's, real nice jersey, so it didn't fit him. Two times I won at the same uh party. I won a fifty dollar gift certificate for model, so we traded, and I bought it.

The under armor fits like a glove great yeah, good purchase, yeah, so Dave. Yes, I'm a was west coast, eagle fan and for the record they covered. They were laying 19 and a half when they played that one game this year, and they covered that uh. They covered that number all right. Our boy Pete asked who's our favorite uh all-time sports announcers uh.

He says he starts with all Michael, Keith Jackson, dick ENSERG great honorable mention Kevin Harland. Kevin Harlan is very good. Now Kevin hart was right up there actually for me, r. I. p Howard Finkel.

He says who do you like for me? I'm going to go for baseball VIN, sculls too good Gabe and I never met a guy that was as good as him until I met you who is a kind of conversation with himself for like two hours, three hours very hard to do in broadcasting. So I'll give you some credit there you get the Barry hardwood, that's crazy! Don't compare me to that's a skill set. Are you ready for the nation's first, and only free 24-hour network dedicated to you? The betting and fantasy sports enthusiast sports grade will provide you with real-time content, statistics and gaming intelligence, unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in the heart of New York city and inside the fan duel sports book at the meadowlands sports grade is live 18 hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports grid, get on the grid Pharrell coast.

I saw a lot of people, you know have been talking endlessly about TUA Tagalog and whether he's going to be a good professional quarterback. Everybody knows the talent that he has, but the injuries that he has had multiple injuries. Uh, let's face facts. Do you believe that he's going to be injured in the NFL Stafford was injured? A lot early can TUA get beyond that. I hope so.

The sports grid network game time decisions, so tony Ferguson put in a tough spot short notice. Opponent is always difficult in mixed martial arts and, as we stated, Gabe she's a real headhunter guys he is a predictable headhunter and tony Ferguson is a very versatile fighter. Cap he'll outdated this guy he's going to beat him. I agree, and I look at the price right now: a buck 60 for Ferguson game. It seems like a pretty good price for a favorite right.

The sports grid network line up. Ladies the early line when it comes to basketball. To me that I love seeing is the is how physical that game was and how important the mid-range jump shot was right. I mean the guys were so good and deadly. I mean it's a three-point shot.

Furthermore, I get it but man, oh man, that ability where you knew you were getting mauled to be able to just pull up right from the foul line and just hit nothing but net on a consistent basis. The sports grid network get on the great sports grid, I'm on the grid. I am Gabriel Lorenzo and, of course, SB nation radio, the loudest station in the nation. We promise Gary gambling Gary grammar steps up and then uh me and cam Stewart talk about uh the potential of hacking, uh that that's involved in the national football league draft and there's just so many angles that the national football league and their 32 teams have to protect themselves from Gary great work and uh. You know I'm a big fan.

We did a like to check in with sports, illustrated like once a month, because you guys have some great long form investigations, big fan of john Wertheim. You should be proud great story. Uh that you did. You spoke to all the pertaining parties. You covered all the bases, uh great uh, great article, Gary, oh, look, uh very kind of you Gabe.

I like the way this interview is starting yeah, great backdrop too. So no, I think you'll get oh yeah, nothing but softballs um. So a lot of people know about zoom. So suddenly, Zoom is one of these buzzwords that no one knew it was a couple of months ago. Everybody knows who anybody that follows the news or reads: the media also knows that zoom has had a lot of problems.

Casual from church groups to hospital conference calls to basically every walk of life, hackers and when we say hackers, there's so many type of hackers and that's what's fascinating about Gary's article. But you know these are jackass hackers right, hey some guy. They want to crash in alcohol. It's an anonymous meeting and make fun of people they want to crash a woman's group with porn, etc. You know the let's call them rollers but explain to us what a black hat hacker is a white hat, a hacker because and there's more than that, there's probably about 50 types of different hackers.

But there's not the concern of like trump would say the fat kid in his basement right in New Jersey. This is a complicated and very sophisticated situation. They have to worry about yeah and look at your know. As far as the zoom hacks go zoom bombing, I guess, is what the kids are calling these days. Uh that's low, brow stuff.

That is to be perfectly honest. You or I could do that uh! It's its zoom was not built with security in mind. Zoom was built with uh. You know, for instance, the grandparents checking in with the grandkids type of stuff uh. It is uh, very user-friendly.

For that reason it is, it is very hackable uh and the reason to tackle is that uh well one it's built that way, but two, the people who use it, tend to do unwise things uh. Now, like you mentioned, you mentioned alcoholic synonymous, alcoholics anonymous, can't they don't have an email list of people. They can send. That's the anonymous part of it. So you know they have to post their thing publicly, and you would, you'd hope people are not going to be jackasses about it.

But uh. Some people are it's very low, brow, humor, but um. That's kind of the issue as far as and we can, we can get into the fact that a lot of NLP NFL teams are still using it, which kind of blows my mind but uh. You know as far as the black hat versus white hat versus and then there's gray hat and that's sort of uh. For instance, a gray hat would be uh and by the way, black hat versus white hat, it's kind of what you think is black hat is the guys who, who are you knowing, holding hospitals uh.

You know information for ransom and uh and schools a school district in Long Island got hacked uh a little while ago and and and they basically had to pay a ransom to just these people to get it back. Uh white hat tends to your know: oh we're going to find these vulnerabilities, we'll let you know about it and hey you're, going to give us some money cool like, but we're not going to save publicly we're not going to make a thing out of this gray hat would be, for instance, uh this group our mind. I talked to a guy who at least reports to be from our mind. He wouldn't give me his name or any information. That's that's the way it goes with these guys, but they hacked NFL Twitter feeds back in January.

People might remember that uh. The reason they did it is you know they took over. It was like the bears, the chiefs, I don't remember who else, but you know they took over the Twitter feeds and then they, you know post a couple of things and then say like: oh everything can be hacked. You know contact our mind for better security stuff like that uh, so they're kind of in between they're not really doing mean-spirited stuff but uh. They are publicly displaying the uh.

You know the uh, the hacks they do in order to get more business- and I explained earlier to people- and I don't pretend to be a tech expert, but I do follow global affairs rather closely, and I explain to people. People don't realize that, like Kim Jong-un's got an army of like 7 000 people, that's all he does every day, uh right, they're, stealing bitcoin they're, trying to hack into banks they're into grandma's savings account whatever the hell they can get their teeth into. They do when I think of the NFL draft. That's what I sort of think of, I think of sort of. I guess I watch too many 70s um cop shows.

I love that stuff. So I sort of think of somebody calling, let's used ave gentleman. We all saw the picture of gentleman sort of you know ha ha sitting in front of one laptop unsophisticated and, as your article writes look tony modest is a smart guy. All right, smart guys, Hillary Clinton, the emails dummy and all that type of stuff. This came because somebody said somebody clicked the wrong thing.

They opened up the wrong page and nick Satan's talking about how he just figured out how to use email the other day right. So you know that the NFL teams are protecting the data etc. But, as you write, there are thousands of people in these chains and there's their, not exactly tech-savvy, and it doesn't take much right. It takes an email here, an email there. I was just sort of thinking.

Imagine I'm a buffalo bill fed. Imagine somebody calls Brandon bean. Basically, you know Thursday morning of the draft and says: listen. I need 250 000 into a bitcoin account right now. Otherwise, I'm going to put all your data information online in a Reddit chat room right now, I'm going to blow your entire draft up and if you contact the authorities, good luck with that I'll release this stuff in the next 30 seconds right.

What do they do? Would they panic? Would they pay? That's what I that's, what I sort of thought of from that crime drama perspective of it. In that scenario, you probably got to pay. I mean that long island school district- they paid- I guess, insurance covered it but uh they paid a hacker. However, they can't go to law enforcement because it's too complicated they won't be able to trace it and track it anyways, and you could, I mean, look it. It's also a lot of the hacking that uh that I was uh.

You know discussing with people. That is definitely a scenario. It's definitely scenario that someone can get your information. You know, sell it off to someone else, hold it for ransom over you uh. What teams have to worry about and what the with the security experts and the hackers I talked to tend to worry about was uh.

What a lot of fans worry about, uh, another team's gonna, do it and it is so difficult to get caught, and I bring up the uh. You know people might remember uh Chris cornea, the Castro hacker, the cardinals executive uh he actually and and and we can talk about people making mistakes uh we got to clarify the actors. Were the victims in this, the actors were the victims. If you ask Chris cornea, he might disagree with that. Uh Chris cornea was a cardinal.

He said I could have one other guy always stumble as a dodger fan, always somewhere with the actors. What one of these guys leaves gets hired by the actors. You know cornea says: okay, you got to get to your laptop and give us your password. Does that this guy go to the actors cornea uh. You know hacks into his account because he had, I believe he had changed the password but change it barely like you know his password was, was, I don't know baseball, and then you change it to baseball one or something like that.

So Corey was able to guess the pass where he got in uh ends up getting caught the reason he got caught. He would have never gotten caught. The reason he got caught is that uh, according to FBI documents, cornea was the one who leaked the documents to dead spin, that's how they traced it to cornea, that's how he got caught. It is very difficult that one of the security experts I talked to, and we talked about police procedural, one of the uh, uh. I think my inspiration right up doing this for the show Mr robot on USA, the the uh, uh Remy Malik, uh, uh hacker, show um an FBI guy who consulted on that show is one of the first calls I made and uh.

He was just kind of making the point. There is no physical presence. There is really no forensic evidence, assuming you have like some capability in computers uh. If you want to pull this off, if I'm uh that I'll, I don't want to pick on the patriots. Everyone picks on the patriots, so the pagers can take it, but the know when we talked about it earlier.

Everyone thought bill belching right like that. If, if I work, if I work for Brandon bean- and I want to hack the patriots uh, if, if I can do it, it's really nearly impossible to catch me unless I do something pretty stupid to get myself caught, it's so fascinating to me, and I'm sure some people tuning in and thinking, oh, you guys are so hypothetical and what are you watching too many episodes of 24 et cetera? Well, I don't think they realize well that we're in the world of cyber warfare right now right we're in a world of cybercrime. This is this. Is the world that we deal in? I don't worry about it. I don't have anything to hack.

You know what I'm saying if you hack in my computer you're going to find out. I have a gambling problem and I know I've been on sports a lot and yeah I mean like. I don't really have a lot of secrets. Furthermore, I live my life online, but people don't realize this. Like regular people get shaken down married people, threats of oh, I know you're cheating, and they don't even know if they know right like so.

I'm thinking of a bigger structure as well. There was so much talk about the Russian interference in elections. We know for a fact: I'm not going to get into the political aspect of it, but we know for a fact that they there are people online that like to show discontent right mm-hmm. What better discontent is there than the America has nothing right now going on. The national football league draft is America, so I was thinking less so of a hacker and a guy.

It was fun talking about some guy trying to shake down the bills for 100k or something. But I'm thinking you know, Russia, Iran, North Korea say you know what let's, let's just show a little more chaos and screw their NFL draft up right now, that's what I was thinking of it's its! It's absolutely not outside the realm of possibility. I would say it's less likely. I think it would be uh. Furthermore, I think other teams are the main threat, but bigger than the enemy.

Furthermore, I love it. The greatest other NFL guys huh, that's amazing, because you know what, when it comes to other NFL guys if I'm the bills and and and look I love the bills too. So don't get me wrong. But if I'm the bill's that patriots draft board or the patriots like uh, you know uh whatever the information they have on prospects, I'm not selling that I'm, and I'm not calling the patrons and saying you know, give me it's like you erase a step that has direct value to me and to my organization, and that's so that that sort of simplifies things but uh. As far as another I mean you said it look when my gran, when my parents skype with the grandkids or zoom with these with the grandkids yeah, someone might be listening and probably not.

What are they going to do they're, gonna, listen to a boring conversation, and then you know: that's that's not a thing you're talking about a multi-billion dollar corporation and not only that it it's its one thing with the NFL itself, you have 32 member teams, they're all doing it differently. Some of them are probably doing it really well, some of them. I would actually wager most of them are probably doing it really poorly. When it comes to privacy and security, you think they're doing it well right. Yes, because you know what it's its hard, if you are not a tech person and even you and I we're in front of screens a lot these coaches they're, not even in front of screens that much you're out you're on the field, you're working on the grease board uh.

You know that sort of thing. So it's its really hard. Even if you have some uh, you know basic uh interaction with tech on a day-to-day basis. It's still hard to wrap your mind around what could happen uh for these coaches. This is a whole new world for them, and it really got rush on to them over the past.

You know four to six weeks now and never mind the fact. Exactly I'm sure these coaches, they got to spend time at least getting through the functionality of it, so they can get through that night right and that's just time, that's cutting into them that they want to be working on the draft, and I've been kidding about this for months actually about coaches smashing computers. I don't know what skype is. I don't know what that means like. Furthermore, I can just imagine like really smart guys that are normally in control that they're, like literally, they have to have their daughters, all right, honey, get in here, yeah man.

What the hell is this zoom get me on this chat. I got to speak to I got to speak to you know my quarterback right now. I don't even know how to do it. Um something stuck to me. One of the quotes that stuck to me the most from your article, and I was trying to scan through it and find a quote right now, but you would know- and I think it was basically the NFL security saying- listen.

We've guided the teams. We've warned the teams we're helping them as much as they. Furthermore, we can but something that stuck out to me said, but they're kind of on their own, like eventually, because I was thinking like as you stated- we've got 32 different teams here, there's only so much the NFL can do right. I mean that's the thing and look for the actual draft, and I don't think the draft itself, and I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. If you're looking for something to drop in and like you know, drop some offensive images over roger Goodall's face on Thursday night very unlikely that that's going to happen.

ESPN I mean this is what ESPN do they? They right, they're, already protecting against yeah right, the movie there with uh when mandarin, when Robert didn't understand his Judy when he cuts into the broadcast like out of a movie we've taken over your broadcast channel yeah exactly like for ESPN. This is really not that big, a departure from what they usually do for the NFL for the teams. It's such a big departure and, like you said, they're more security for the NFL than hacking. That's what we should do. Yes, exactly, exactly so, security issues for the NFL team, yep and the NFL is mandating.

Everyone uses a program called Microsoft Teams to connect their team to the league office now, as far as how teams are going to connect with each other, the gm and the owner and the coaches and whoever else might be in the virtual war room, that's kind of up to them and the problems- and I hate to I hope, zoom's, not a sponsor you guys. I need to pick on them. I know they're, not a sponsor of us, and they probably won't be now, but don't worry they. They have offended everybody a long time ago. They've had so many security problems and the fact there's so many teams still out there using zoom uh Microsoft Teams is considered much more secure.

But, like you said uh, you know bill belching. If some it guys comes to bill belching, and he's like listen coach, you can't use Zoom anymore, like you got to learn how to use new thing belching or how many guys in the league you're just gonna, be like to get out of here, like I already learned how to use this, I guarantee that's the thing so zoom NFL fight, that's gonna, be fine. They're. On top of that. That's where you talked about it, I'm not.

Let's say we get an affairs people. Do it for kicks some kid actually in his basement's, probably going to go! Oh my god. I see cliff kings bury, you know he won't even know what kings bury is. Probably he's, going to be like Arizona like you know, some private shot that they're going back and forth in right, like on a separate system right the zoom's one thing because, as you said, you know, the teams are gonna, be like all right. You know, Brandon bean's going to be on the call with the NFL McDermott's with him, but you know there's a pipeline.

So suddenly, how secure is the Buffalo Bills line and stuff, and it might be people sort of like people that listen to like police radars all day for kicks right? It's going to be a fascinating, never mind the fact we'll see in a couple of years which teams can actually stout right. Gary- and I said that's a lot- oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! No, it's a great point, though, because look we're bringing up belching to the hypothetical hey belching might be totally secure. You might be totally into this thing. He knows how important it is. Is everyone on the patriot staff everywhere in that world now extrapolate that over 31 other teams? I mean how many guys out there and look.

I put out a hypothetical uh. You know fishing scenario in my story and um one of the security experts I talked to I didn't put in the story because I don't want to encourage anyone, but when the security expert is just like, I bet you could get a guy on every team. I bet you could find a mark on every team who you could get with this scam and uh and take control their laptop, take control of their camera. You know be able to see their screen uh that sort of thing so look, these teams are catching up and it honestly it's probably admirable what they're doing. Quite frankly, it's their they're rushing their trying to catch up on the stuff.

There's no way, there's no way every guy in every war room is caught up at this point, Gary it's a fascinating reading. We encourage all of our listeners and viewers to go over to side. com, there's some great long form uh reading over there great work, Gary love to catch up with you again, thanks a lot for taking the time to be with us Gabe thanks for having me man great stop by with Gary gambling s. I Pharrell coast to coast, I saw a lot of people. You know have been talking endlessly about to attack Vela and whether he's going to be a good professional quarterback.

Everybody knows the talent that he has, but the injuries that he has had multiple injuries. Uh, let's face facts. Do you believe that he's going to be injured in the NFL Stafford was injured a lot early uh can TUA get beyond that? I hope so. The sports grid network the morning after one of the quarterbacks that I really wanted to ask you about jarred to attack her by lower out of Alabama, where in the first round is two attack of my lower going to attack by Lowell, will not be taken until the third pick. I can't see one of these teams trading up if the dolphins or chargers trade up it's because they're going to make a play at Joe burrow.

The NFL draft is a spectacle for a reason. It is going to be some crazy night. If and when it does happen on time. The sports grid network game time decisions. There is one type of beer that will screw you up, but when you go to a bar- and you don't know that they've cleaned their lines that could make you go local, like I've been to places where I've had like three or four drafts.

Hell's going on here. Yeah drop beer, be careful of course, of course, there's the beer uh that my father used to crush, and it ended up crushing him was uh the fandom, the logo of it is like hell. The sports grid network fantasy sports today, Jeff Hassan, really went into it is in almost like an overnight report about major league baseball, essentially quarantining themselves, 30 teams playing all in Arizona playing in sprint training. Then the morning comes yesterday and major league baseball's, like whoa hold on here. A minute like we are.

We haven't really said anything. The reviews on this idea are unfortunately, as negative as I've heard. Almost anything. The sports grid network.
