1:02So yesterday your boy is out sick. Am I just quick poll people on the show? I'm almost 43. Am I too old to say you're boy? Or am I still in like the range where that's okay? Candy says I'm not old. I'm not too old for that. Okay. Tyler says I'm good also. All right. The millennial. Are you guys millennials? I guess they're Gen Z. The Gen Z members of our crew think that it's okay. So I'm going to go with them. So your boy is out sick yesterday and there's literally nothing to do except watching Bet College basketball all day. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. And look, you know, I'm honest. I don't BS and also like the guys on the crew can corroborate this three and oh for me yesterday. BYU, which if BYU hadn't converted, it's just like this stuff.

2:03Bet in college basketball is so infuriating and I know if you if you bet it, whether you bet it all season or just in March, you know how infuriating it can be. It basically always just comes down to the end of the game and like how stupid is the game going to get with 18 to 21 year olds? Well, I guess now we have like 28 year olds and former NBA players playing college basketball. But you get the point. I would have freaked out, man. If BYU had not covered, thankfully BYU did. North Carolina somehow pulls a cover out of its daily air. What was the first game I bet yesterday guys that covered? I can't remember. I'll look it up right now. This is BYU in Carolina later in the day. The first game was let's see was oh Miami. Yeah, had Miami, which is great. Miami beating Louisville. That was really good. So anyway, I'm going to take this now into a Friday and we're going to look to keep the good times rolling.

3:04So joining me now is we're going to talk about that. And at some point, at some point, our executive producer, Bill Zimmerman, will put together a piece of imaging that I've been asking for since I think the, since I think like 2025. Let's talk about bets, which we somehow still don't have despite the request being made like three months ago. So we will imagine calling this. Let's talk about bets like the salt and pepper song. Let's talk about sex. So let's talk about bets, baby. So Kenny will Kenny hit us with some kind of music bet here. And let's talk about some of the big games today with our college basketball better is on the show myself Tyler and Kenny. Hello, gentlemen. How are we feeling today on this Friday? Tyler, first word to you. I'm excited. You're a lot of basketball. I'm feeling a lot better. I was sick with you, but I'm feeling good now. I'm feeling, I'm feeling like I'm back. But you did the show yesterday. You haven't missed any shows. No, I've just been quite leap dying in the corner. Tyler, a real man unlike me who took the day off yesterday. Kenny, how we feeling on this Friday?

4:05Great. A lot of basketball, a lot of bets. Let's get into it. But just to get this YouTube comment from our buddy Bob who said, Nick, is that really you working on a Friday? You'll get this for the next like month and then later suckers until September. All right. Let's talk some games for today. We got Ohio State and Michigan guys tipping off at noon. Michigan about 12 and a half. It looks like Ohio State's getting bet right now. 155 and a half the total. Any thoughts on this game in the bag in the big 10 and we'll do this for each of them. Tyler, first then Kenny. If you want to pass the game, that's fine. But I want to get everybody's thoughts on the big games today. You have nothing in this game. Ohio State's been playing amazing to end the season. Wouldn't be surprised if they kept this game close, but I got nothing here. Michigan has been like such a weird team since that dude game. That kind of just want to see more what they're going to do in this conference tournament than anything. So I have no bets in this game. I'm taking the points with the buck eyes. Ohio State plus 12 and a half. I liked the way they've been playing Michigan probably wins this game.

5:06But Michigan knows it's locked into a number one seed. Like I said, they probably win, but give me the buck eyes plus the 12 and a half. They've been playing. I actually think if I had to bet the game, I would also bet Ohio State. But I don't think it would be surprising if Michigan won by a million. And Ohio State's like in the tournament now, right? Ohio State's off the bubble. Ohio State's going to be an NCAA tournament team. So maybe missing like that motivation. Obviously, it's a rivalry not even close to being like what the football rivalry is. I can see a bunch of different things happening. That will lead me to pass this game today. I do have a bet on this game. Oh, man. It's just not good. Florida. 11 and a half against Kentucky. 159 and a half the total. So this is Kentucky's third game in three days, right? And Florida's first game of the SEC tournament. Tyler, Kentucky and Florida, anything in this game. Don't you kind of want to lay with Florida here? Kentucky's kept both games close. Florida's been run a roll. 11 and a half.

6:06Florida's been dumped trucking in teams all season. The first two games they were kind of close when they played them. Florida wouldn't have covered either of these, even the first two games. I kind of think they're rolling in this game. I kind of. All right. So Tyler likes Florida, Kenny. I like Florida as well. I think this feels like a Florida smash spot. We had a lot of people come on this show and say Florida's going to roll through this tournament. So I'm going to take Florida here. I. I bet Kentucky. God bless. It's rough out here in these streets. So what was the what was the line on and look, I understand because the the counter to what I'm about to say or the answer is going to be because Kentucky's playing their third game in three days. Like that's the answer. What was the line when these two teams played at Florida over the weekend like nine and a half? Yep. And now and now it's 11 and a half. I get it. Even though it's a new I understand that's the answer. I get it. I know Kentucky's supposed to be the best team money can buy.

7:08I'll take the points with Kentucky. We'll see how it goes. Give me Kentucky plus 11 and a half against Florida. Okay. Moving down the and we're only going to do like the big, big games. I have passed this game. It looks like Illinois has been getting bet. The line I out to a nine and a half point favorite against Wisconsin 156 and a half the total Tyler. Love the over in this game first two first two time. I mean, both offenses are rolling right now. Some Wisconsin even more so love the over. I might be a little biased because I have Wisconsin 41 win the tournament, but I'm taking Wisconsin. I'm not going to bet them on the money line, but I like the nine and a half. I like the Illinois getting bet out. I saw this number at around seven and a half eight and a half this morning. So I love the nine and a half. I don't think Nolan winter the big man for Wisconsin is going to play. But I think Wisconsin is able to keep this game close. All lines of course courtesy of our show sponsor, Ben MGM. Kenny, if you did not have that that future on Wisconsin, would you bet Wisconsin to win the game? Yes. I think they win or at least I mean, now that the numbers drifting out the money line price just continues to get longer.

8:10Yes, definitely. No doubt. Wisconsin, Wisconsin plus three. I'm trying to think too. I want to bet Wisconsin money line just just for support of my friend. I I may do that. Oh, baby, we have a huge flip. So Vandy, not a huge flip, but we flipped favorites. Vandy was was a small favorite against Tennessee. Obviously, these two teams played over the weekends. Tennessee missing its best player. Vandy won that game, but he's back. Native men scored 27 yesterday for the balls and the win against Auburn. Tennessee is now the favorite in this game. But we'll call it one one and a half, one forty five and a half. I bet Tennessee this morning. I'm in on the balls already. Can be Tennessee to win against Vandy Tyler. And Native men's all the way back. He dominated that second half of the game. I have no bets in this game. I know Kenny has a strong play, a strong lean into it and this one. Yeah. I think Vanderbilt's one of the most underrated teams in the country. They're ranked 13 in camp. They're supposed to be like a five seed though. I know Tennessee's like right behind them. They're 14th.

9:10So it's like neck and neck. So it makes sense. But Tennessee needed that 20-year-old run to come back and beat Auburn yesterday. So I'm going to fade Tennessee today. And like I said, Vandy, I feel like nobody talks about them as a top 15 camp bomb team. So I like Vanderbilt today. So you and I, Kenny, will be going heads up here. I have Tennessee Kenny with Vanderbilt. A couple more. We will go to... This is now one of the biggest games of the day. Market moving against me here. St. John's out to eight and a half against Seton Hall. 133 and a half in the big east. I took the points with Seton Hall. Am I crazy, Tyler? I love Seen Hall in this game. In the first two games, St. John and Seen Hall play, they are both close to. So and Seen Hall lost both those games. I mean, Seen Hall is riding with some like... They have some high vibes right now. And I like them. They're going to keep this game closing. They're going to cover. I don't have anything in this one. I'm just reluctant to bet the big east tournament. I just think it's going to be Yukon. And I didn't like any of the future surprises. So I'm not betting anything in the big east, really.

10:12All right. Because that candy will be passing the big east games. Okay. Couple more. Purdue, three and a half against Nebraska. 143 and a half the total. I... So like, I'm up money this week. I bet Purdue Moneyline minus 170. If I had to bet the game, I would lay the points with Purdue. Tyler, any disagreement here on Purdue and Nebraska? I have nothing in this game, but I kind of want to back Purdue with you because you've been so passionate about this Purdue team. I'll see. And so I'm going to follow you on this one. So I'm going to take this out here with Purdue. Well, I have them against Michigan. Michigan beat them by a million. So I don't know if I've always been... I don't know if I've always been right about that. I do like Purdue to get against Nebraska. Can he anything on this game quickly? Yeah. I'm actually going to do a Purdue Moneyline. And if we get to this game, Arizona Moneyline Parlay. Too late. Oh, we're getting... We're getting... Oh, I love that. Purdue, Arizona Moneyline Parlay. I'm going to say, what would that... What does that pay? I'll tell you right now. Arizona and Purdue. Plus 147. I'm betting this also. I love Arizona today against Iowa State in the big 12.

11:16Arizona is three and a half, 143 and a half the total. Iowa State has won its first two big 12 tournament games by what? About 500 points. Now taking on Arizona. I think this is setting up for Arizona to win this game by double digits. Give me Arizona. Teddy also likes Arizona Tyler thoughts on this one. Arizona. I'm completely with you on Arizona. Iowa State's a lot better on neutral sites than they are on the road by I think Arizona is going to kill them. So I love Arizona and they might be your future national champions. Tyler, your favorite bet of the day is in the Alabama Ole Miss game. Tell us what it is. Yeah, I think Alabama is going to run this team off the court. Ole Miss was up like 23 points and against the Georgia Guests today and they completely ran out of gas as their third game in three days. Alabama will run it up on you and this is not the team you want to go off the gas when you're running out of gas. They just go up and down the court and play with the highest tempo in the country. So I love Alabama in this game. I think they run them off the four of them by 20. And Kenny, you have a future on Miami twin the ACC. If you did not have that future, would you take three and a half with Miami against Virginia? Yeah, I take the three and a half. I take the money line a little bit of bias because I do have the future.

12:18I do respect Virginia too, but I like the hurricanes more. I think this hurricane seems going to make a run when we get to the tournament and it probably starts. I got to tell you. I got to tell you something. I'm going to have so many bets today. I'm like, please bet responsive. I am going to bet responsibly. Please bet responsibly. We'll group the final two games in together. UCLA, Michigan State's party five and a half one thirty nine and a half total. Donovan Dent first triple double and big 10 tournament history last night for UCLA. And let's group that in with Houston six and a half against Kansas one thirty five and a half. And let's do one more Duke ten and a half against Clemson one thirty two and a half Tyler plays on any of those three games. Out of all those, I think Kansas is going to be Houston today. Houston is not looking impressive. So I like Kansas. I'm not going to bet the game, but I wouldn't be shocked if Clemson kept the game close against Duke. Duke was not impressive yesterday. Duke beat Florida State by one. Kenny, go ahead. Yeah, I'm saying this Tyler Clemson plus love and a half and Kansas plus five and a half. And I'm going to take a little bit of Kansas money.

13:18Wow. Aaron Peterson money line. I think Houston's regressing as a team. I just don't see them covering this number and maybe Kansas wins outright. I have to theft. I was not going to bet this game. And then you said Aaron Peterson money line and it sounds really good. I don't know. Listen, I'm betting. I'm going to bet some of these games just to bet. I am going to bet responsibly. So if you the listener reviewer are going to bet these games just because we like them, you can do that. Please bet responsibly. Like don't have a bad weekend financially just because you listen to us on bets. We are more than capable of losing bets. We can win them also, but just saying. We'll finalize our betting cards for today at the end of the show. Not just college shoes, but the NBA and the World Baseball Classic as well. On the other side.
