1:09.0

indeed because we've got golf on a Wednesday, which is really interesting. We're going to have some golf picks on this show, got some NBA picks. We got all kinds of picks and marquee matchups to talk about. Thanks for being in the chat. Thanks for hitting the like button. I see. It's a lot of activity in here. Let's check out what we did yesterday. Not very good. listen, the last two days, first of all, this weekend was amazing, right? We saw the recap screens from Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Really good stuff there in terms of those picks. The last two days, not so good. We got to bounce back and we're going to do it with an all-star crew. Listen, Wednesdays are really fun. And it's partly because Tim Doyle and his props are going to be here. So let's bring in

1:44.5

the stars of the show. The aforementioned Tim Doyle, he's here. We've got Mike McClure.

1:50.6

He's here. Martin Green, of course, because it's a Wednesday. And Mikey B, if you don't mind,

1:55.9

Michael Barner, nobody's called you Michael before. I feel like I'm your parents, right? Because

1:59.8

this is one of those moments where you've got to be a little frustrated. Can you talk to us about that? You missed both props yesterday. But one of them you absolutely should have hit. And I feel like this is a good time for you to have the floor and maybe a 20 second rant about what happened. I believe it was Brandon Ingram yesterday. See, I should have had two of them. Okay. Brandon Ingram, we needed 25 combined points and rebounds. He had 23 going into the fourth quarter. It was a blowout. I'm thinking to myself, all he's not coming back in. He comes back in. I'm all excited. The guy's lollygagging around. He's not trying to shoot. Play just like two minutes to take him out. He finishes at 23. The Thunder, we needed 125 points. They had 38. 38 in the first quarter. They finished with 111. They couldn't score against the Trailblazers. I'm disgusted today, see ya. But I'm going to come back with two winners and I have a prop for Tim that he's going to love.

3:08.3

Absolutely. See ya. See ya. See ya. Oh. Is this BBA? Is this bad beats anonymous? Like I feel like I announce your name like he goes, hi, I'm Mike from Chicago. Hi, Mike. Yeah, yesterday, Kevin, like, I feel like this needs to be a therapeutic session here of like, all of us like, oh, sorry. I see, I thought great job telling Mike there's a time limit on this because I start losing interest after about 12 seconds. But I'll listen to the first couple of seconds of like, oh, sorry, Mike. So anyway, I'm happy that this is going to be a giant therapy session. Let's turn the mojo around. Okay. Pre-show is upsetting. First story of the day, a little upsetting. Let's go a little positive here. All right, first of all, that's a really good show concept. Like the Bad Beats Anonymous is a really funny concept.

3:37.6

Honestly, Tim, you, me and Mikey B, maybe we can get that started. All right, let's get,

3:42.4

let's talk some NBA. Let's talk about a little bit of positivity, maybe some most valuable

3:46.6

player positivity. Listen, I think this is interesting. Instead of going through some of the games today,

3:51.4

and we'll have NBA picks later in the show with props and sides and all that. But Joel M.B.,

3:56.6

scoring 72 nights ago, I mean, from an MVP standpoint, we know the problem he is facing. He's got to, like, qualify in terms of the number of games here. I'm just curious, you know, Mike, Tim, Mikey, Joe L.M.B. at plus 110, we got Yokic at plus 275. I'm just curious. And I'm going to start with you,

4:16.5

Mike McClure, actually, because we haven't heard from you yet. I don't know. Maybe you don't
