reality radio for a really great future we're talking real money hi welcome to talking real

money this is tom you know um you know that you know the expression game time decision

yeah you've heard that before, right?

Where the athlete that people actually know and recognize is hurt during the week,

and they don't know if he's going to play in the game or she, for that matter.

And so, you know, comes down to a game time decision, right?

So the backup guy, right, or woman, spends all week, you know, working with the wide receivers,

throwing balls to them, practicing the handoffs, developing the game plan,

working with the first team, getting all excited to be doing things his or her way.

I mean, this is your moment.

And then the game time arrives. The person arrives in the locker room, looks up, and there's the athlete that they were replacing. So they're out. Man back. Man back. The first team is here. With that, ladies and gentlemen, give you Don McDonald. Yeah, okay. Thank you, please. Okay, keep it down. Keep it down to a dull roar.

Yeah, those of you who were betting on Tom being the quarterback in the game today,

well, you lost your bet unless you parlayed that with a bet on him telling bad dad jokes,

which doesn't pay much, but it's a sure win.

That's absolute 110% there.

I just learned what parlay meant because I've never sports bet before. That's where you got to do more than one. That's more than one. I have never

in my life bet on sports. And you'll see why that's relevant in a minute. Hi, everybody. I'm the

quarterback now. Don McDonald. Tom is relegated to the bench again.

Sorry, Tom. No, I'm comfortable there. I mean, I never was a great or good athlete. So that's why I'm a referee.

That's what people do. You're more than athletes. Exactly. Well, anyway, just a little quick, a little quick background.

You remember in a previous episode, I said, I'm having a terrible week because I'm having this AFIB issue that is an inherited thing for my mother. My heart is great. Oh, we're going to blame our moms on the show, aren't we? I'm blaming my mom because her mom had it too. And it is genetic because I had my 23 and me done, and it said, you're predisposed David.

So my stupid cardiologist threw me in the hospital this week.
