| 0:00.0 | All right, David. |
| 0:00.9 | Text asking what has become a bit of an eternal question to me, because anyone I intro to it loves it. We've lost Kenny. I don't take responsibility for what he's doing. But basically, he bet in every track. I don't know what to do. That's on you. No, it's not. He asks me questions. I answer them. He's into it. Anyone I've taken to the track, they love it. The whole point is, I laugh that this week, it's this fake-ass media push. If I got to hear Pitbull talk about getting on a horse and riding again, I'm going to launch myself off the Gordy Howe. Like, the idea that the derby is the only thing that matters is such a lie. |
| 0:38.2 | And I can't figure it out is people like it. |
| 0:40.8 | They go to derby part. |
| 0:42.3 | There are derby parties this weekend and people know nothing about horse racing, but they will go. |
| 0:46.9 | And it's like, you're missing the best part. |
| 0:49.9 | Like, this is, there is no offseason. |
| 0:52.3 | Horse racing has no chill. |
| 0:54.9 | Right. But, Mike, it's, how is it different for a lot of people who go to the Super Bowl parties? And they really don't know the teams.

You got to realize that everybody knows the game like we do. and the people who listen to the show, there are some people who just don't follow sports. |
| 1:14.0 | And it's like, |
| 1:14.5 | oh, |
| 1:14.8 | it's like, oh, it's an event. I want to be seen. I want to take photos and put it up on my Instagram. |
| 1:19.3 | That commercial that was just on, Dale's a loser. Those people are losers. David, what do the texts have to say? A text says it's because no one actually cares about the sport of horse racing. |
| 1:31.2 | They care about the spectacle, the mystique of it, the costumes, the betting. |
| 1:34.7 | But I would ask you, okay, stop right there. |
| 1:37.1 | The betting is interwoven with the sport. |
| 1:39.7 | Second of all, in today's day and age, while horse racing's on the decline, so is people's |
| 1:45.3 | attention spans. Most people have the attention span of a squirrel. What would fit said attention |
| 1:50.8 | span? A new adventure every 20 minutes, or in the case of Kenny, every four minutes because |
| 1:56.5 | he's apparently betting every track with four legs and a heartbeat. I'm making a point here, David. |
