More best bets for the night in sports. Of course, I am the coach. And this is your daily sports betting brand of record. It's a Monday, but here at the brand, we do things differently. You all know that. This is the end of our week. Was he start on Tuesdays? So let's bring in the stars of the show. You know him. You love him. We got the regulars here today. We got frickin' frack and also our main man from the NBA, Mikey B. Gentlemen, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. All right, speculator. Let's bring in the nice guy for a minute before we alienate our entire fan base. All right. You've got your speculator 1, as I like to call it. |

| 1:56.4 | numbers you just spent out including my own all I know is going to play it like you told me I'm just going to play it. That's all you got to do. That's all you got to do. All right.
