Welcome to Extra Points. Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his pal, Dave Damasek.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points podcast, Cousin Sal, coming to you with his dear, dear friend, Dave Damashek, what's happening, Shaq? We're coming off a crazy, crazy West Coast basketball night. Clippers, jazz, minus three and 221, and it lands 112, 109. How do the gambling gods do it? How does Fandle do it? How does anyone do it? It is remarkable stuff. Yeah,

we're in the thick of it. It's great times. I took another trip down to the shoreline,

jumped in the Pacific once again. Everything's coming up, Acese, Sal, except here on extra points

because producer Jim Cunningham is in a sour mood again. What gives? Why? Why down in the dumps, Jim? Everything's, this is great times. I don't know. Basketball on. I try to figure it out what Jim. I get him excited about an office. I stupidly think he wants to leave his apartment every now and then. I'm like, hey, we're going to get offices. And he's like, yeah, okay, just press record.

And then let's, let's get through this.

So, so that's it.

I don't know.

Right, Jim? See, he won't even jump on and comment there. But anyway, jazz clippers, 112, 109. But boy, when it falls on the actual spread and the over under, in a way, it's a waste for a gambler for two and a half out. That's why, by the way, I like the money lines. Not that I'm too successful with it. But 112.109, it was like two and a half, three hours of nonstop action that ends in a push for all the side and total better. Now, we have our free picks. We'll give those in a minute. You could access

those, fandle.com slash extra points. I won when we do this Monday with Aiton over nine and a half

boards and Phoenix to win. I parlayed those together. That was the same game parlay. You on the other

hand, Shaq, should be paying people. Or maybe they fade you and you are actually paying them.

You lost. Again, I've not kept track, but I think this is at least a half a dozen picks in a row. Dave fade a check. I don't know or I don't know what you want to call me. I deserve it. I got to wear it all like Jerry Orbach at the end of dirty dancing. when I'm wrong. I say I'm wrong and I've been wrong.

A great deal of like, I will say, dirty dancing when I'm wrong. I say I'm wrong and I've been wrong.

A great deal of late. I will say, the only thing I'll say it, and I know my pick was wrong,

so who cares? I did say that I thought that the sons get the series because Aiton will at least

nullify Yokic. The head-to-head then provides the advantage over the course of the series. That doesn't mean anything. Okay. All right. That's a win. I don't know. So if you could present people, you could cash that ticket in. I don't know how that works. But I don't know how it works either. I'm trying to save face, don't you see? Hey, Yokic MVP now on Fandle, you could have gotten him as high as 36 to 1 odds in late December. And he basically just outlasted everyone. I mean, great player, too, great numbers, but he stayed healthy. I don't think he missed a game where the LeBrons of the world and the Joel M. Beds of the world missed games.

And Luke's team was too far out of it. And Trey Young wasn't the superstar he is right now.

But I mean, and there are memes going around saying, hey, you can do it too. They show a picture of a, I'll be nice, a Pudgy Nicola Yochic 14 years old. And like, this is, this is the American

dream. It really does remind me of Jerry McConnell on standby me or maybe even Lardass on

stand by me. I don't know which one, but it's amazing, right? Like, this is, as far as that goes and

optics go, this is the most spectacular MVP of all time. I mean,
