No doubt now.

Thursday, September 16, 2021, the beautiful podcast, Megapod, live from the D.

Back at our old stomping grounds here, we had to do Circa.

Oh, we slummed it at Circa last week, Mikey. I was disappointed. Now we're back at the D. Where we started on, it's Gil Alexander. That's the voice of Mike Palm, Vice President of Operation of Circus Sports, Derek Stevens Conciliari, one of the staples of the show. Todd Wishnev back in his mom's cork attic, back in Pittsburgh, PA. How you doing, Toddy? You good? I'm good. He's watching soccer. He's betting soccer or something. Look, he's looking to the soccer. No, it doesn't start until 945. And our guests of the day, kind enough to come back on the show, always a rotating guest on the Megapod, and he has become one of the staples. We love having him. Drew Dinsick, ladies and gentlemen from both NBC Sports Bet the Edge podcast and Dinsic classic, which he does with his buddy Andy Molitor, the Deep Dive podcast. Available, we're all podcasts are distributed at Whale underscore Capper. What's Haddon and Drew? Honor and privilege to be back with you guys. Can't wait for this megapod.

Love having you.

For those who were seeing the visuals, Drew actually was here last week. We had dinner with Drew. We had a great time at Carbone, but he was at Circus Stadium Swim, took a picture. Now it's his background. Actual picture. He was here and you didn't tell me? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you. I would have liked to have met him. Oh, I'm sorry. With all the

contests going on and the signups going on, I didn't want to put more on your plate.

But I got to meet a lot of your team at Circa. Jeff Benson and company took great, great, great care of us on Sunday. And in general, I'm not easily impressed. but what they have going on right now, circus sports between the book and stadium swim,

I mean, they absolutely knocked it out of the park.

That was such a joy to be there. what they have going on right now, circus sports between the book and stadium swim,

I mean, they absolutely knocked it out of the park. That was such a joy to be there as a,

as a sports fan and as a better. And I cannot wait to go back. What a great commercial

for a thing. We should rack that. Rack that. What a Rome used to say? Rack that. By the way,

how nice is Jeff Benson, Drew? Nice is. He was unbelievably nice. And really, though, the risk team, we had drinks with them on Thursday after the Bucks game.

And those guys were all great. Got to meet Glenn and Dylan. And there were a couple of other guys there as well, all just an absolutely solid crew.

I got to tell you about Jeff Benson. Please. This Saturday that before the NFL starts week one, it's got to be one of the worst days for him of the year. Because of how he gets abused by all the people, one, that missed getting into the contest or two miss getting their picks in week one. He does get abused. He was absolutely got abused by people that we had to actually throw out of the casino because of what, I mean, they call them everything but a white man. It's absolutely ridiculous. People came at 2.30 to get in the contest. That's outstanding. He came at 2.30 to get in the contest. He said, you had to get in by 2. Why? You don't have to get the Pixendell 3. They called the Gaming Commission on us because they said if you have to get the Pixin at 3, you can get into the contest till 3. He got interviewed by the gaming board at 8 o'clock at night, Saturday night because of this complaint, this customer filed. And it's so clearly. And we only talk about it for months and months. It's written everywhere. Of course. Oh, man. People, right, Todd? People. They're the worst. They're the worst. Worst invention ever. Worst invention ever. At this time, at this time, I would, I would ask Drew what those circle folks said about my particular case, but I don't want to have Drew talk at a turn. But let's just say they're in agreement with me in my little case. Would that be a fair characterization? Yes, no? Yes. I mean, it was a, again, I'm a biased audience. So maybe they were just telling me what I wanted to hear. But we were in a solid agreement across everyone I talked to in the industry. That Jeff Benson thing, though, it's like it's clearly their fault for not putting them in, but it's amazing human beings transferring their anger, you know, irrationally to the poor kid. He's such a nice guy. Such a nice guy. All right, let's start this. Are you eating today? I am fasting. It is the day of atonement.

Wow. What a firm guy. You're so religious. It's amazing. It's not religious. I'm the least religious person ever. This is a tribute to my father. This is what he did every year. And I want, as my own little way of tributing my father, this is what I do. So please, keep your thoughts. I mean, look, I'm not going to say you don't need to skip a couple meals, so, you know, it's not the end of the world. I've always heard fasting brings on a little clairvoyance, so I can't wait to hear what your takes are. Oh, thank you. I didn't know that was a side-effective fasting. I hope some clairvoyance will come. That said, I wasn't very clairvoyant last week. Todd, the records from last

week as the, as the podcast stenographer. Yes, as the podcast stenographer, me and Mikey got

robbed of going three and oh. We both went two and one, and we had over 52 in that Arizona game. They had

51 at the end of three quarters and we were robbed. We should have had a three and oh, but me and Mike you both went two and one. Gilly, the Iceman, went one and two, but all three of us hit the teaser. Oh, I didn't get robbed on the Damien Harris fumble. That wasn't robbery. You just want to skirt by that. It's not the same robbery. One second. We can discuss robberies

properly. It's not the same robbery.
