0:00.0	Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome, on the Sports
0:07.1	are awesome Wednesday, March 11, 2026. This program begins now. Sports are the greatest.
0:16.3	And there is so much to talk about. Okay, like I might never watch a baseball game again. Don't say it.
0:21.7	It might be over. My baseball fandom might be over. I learned some things over the last about
0:26.4	10 hours that I didn't want to know. Did you know that Team USA, the greatest team we have ever
0:32.7	assembled? Well, the world's ever seen. With billions of dollars in contracts on a diamond,
1:11.7	people that are so incredibly kind to us. People that have been doing magic, just beating teams. Bang, bang, bang. Then they got to play who? La Vaza Italians, the espresso martini boys. And all of a sudden, we lose to them somehow. Okay, I don't know how this is possible. Soccer, maybe. Certainly in the past, not in the future now that Ponch got the boys fired up. So I don't think they're going to have soccer. If this is a cooking contest, I understand that the Italians are probably going to beat us in most situations, all of them more.

1:34.3	Okay? So I've been dancing a little bit with Draft Kings.
1:37.3	Sure.
1:38.3	Okay, I was out of the game for a while and I decided to make things a little bit more interesting.
1:42.3	So I started to dabble with draft kings.
1:45.5	I had some L's hitting.
1:46.5	Bang, bam, bam, bam.
