Speaker 1 (00:00):
Before I ever ran a casino or got myself blown up.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Ace Rothstein was a hell of a handicapper.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I can tell you that I was so good that
whenever I bet, I could change the yards for every
book maker in the country. I'm serious. I had it
down so cold that I was given paradise on Earth.
I was given one of the biggest casinos in Las
Vegas to run, the Tangier Is. At that time, Vegas
was a place where millions of suckers flew in every
year on their own nickel and left behind about a
(00:27):
billion dollars. But at night you couldn't see the desert
that surrounds Las Vegas. But it's in the desert where
lots of the town's problems are solved.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot
of problems are buried in those holes.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Except you got to do it right.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
I mean, you got to have the hole already dug
before you show up with a package in the truck.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And along with making us legit comes cash, tons of it.
I mean, what do you think we're doing out here
in the middle of the desert. It's all this money.
This is the end result of all the bright lights,
and the camp trips, of all the champagne and free
hotel suites, and all the broads and all the booze.
(01:17):
It's all been arranged just for us to get your money.
That's the truth about Las Vegas. We're the only winners.
The players don't stand a chance. And their cash flows
from the tables to our boxes, through the cage and
into the most sacred room in the casino, the place
(01:39):
where they add up all the money, the holy of holies,
the count Room.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
And here we are live from Las Vegas, at the Circa,
the Stadium, swim the world's largest sportsbook.
Speaker 6 (01:56):

better view in my life at looking at I mean,

Speaker 5 (02:10):
I have to pinch myself to realize that I am
here overlooking the biggest screen that you could ever look at.
Outside right below us, there's a swimming pool. You don't
have to leave it. There's a sports bet, kiosk, you
got drinks. You want to start at ten in the
morning or six in the morning. You can do that
you got food? Oh, by the way, did I mention
(02:32):
that they have a food and drink Venu that is
the equivalent of what they're serving in Augusta right now
with Augusta prices, Pimento cheese sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches for
a buck fifty. This is just unbelievable and we are
very happy to be here with you today.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
So got a lot to talk about.

Mariners broadcaster. We will talk to a gentleman from ALTI
Sports Network ninety two point five, the flagship home of
the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Next hour, Mike Sandford will join us live.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
He's actually like I could punch him, he's so close
to me right now.

our number one draft pick, Hu Millin. So a couple
of things, Jess and I came in on Alaska Airlines

mere pedestrian coach flyer. I've never been on Alaska Airlines
until last night.

You haven't. No, first time in my life you have lived.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
No, I have not, and I have not.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And then you allowed me, with your you know, VIP
status that you get with Alaska Airlines, you allowed me
to come into the Alaska Airlines lounge and and I
put on Instagram and check it out right there in
my handle at Mark James Talk M A R. C.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
James Talk. I was like a little kid. Literally, there's
this thing called the pancake printer.
Speaker 5 (04:10):

only person in there above the age of nine that
was eating pancakes at about two forty five in the
afternoon yesterday.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Okay, So I said, how do you do it? He goes,
you just hit the okay button and when you hit
the okay button, two pancakes will they'll make it fresh
and they'll come in your plate. And I said, oh,
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, oh my, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
This is literally a printer for a pancakes.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's a printer for pancakes, which is something I've never
heard of. You were enjoying your your favorite libation. Yeah,

Speaker 6 (05:13):
How did you feel when they sent a stretch limo
last night?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How great?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Was that?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Pretty solid?
Speaker 8 (05:17):
I would say I felt like being catered to almost
more than we deserved.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Well, we're clearly not worthy of it.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah, it was great though. And by the way, fully stocked.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh, no doubt. I And by the way, you know,
and kid knows this. Kid and I we we agree
on a couple of things. And kid doesn't know one
thing about me, but we we agree on a bunch
of things. Now, kid, I'm not a drinker like you.
But but so we have that in come because.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I know you're not a drinker. Correct. Here, kid, there's
one more thing you don't know about me.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
But I think you and I I'm gonna guess on
this that you and I are on the same page
on this.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I detest country music.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'm sorry, I don't mind country music. Oh my god,
what there is there's I think? How do I explain this?
I'm open to all music, the only one that don't
where it stops for me. How you feel about country
music is how I feel about death metal.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Well, I don't like that, ye, but but like, let's
just say now the old school Johnny Cash Well, I.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Love Okay, so you do like some countries.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
But here's the thing. The man in black was his
own entity.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Yes, he country, he was he.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Was just Johnny. He was Johnny Johnny.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
He was Johnny Like and I met this guy about
a decade ago.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
He knew more about me than I knew about him.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
My former co host, by the way, who just became
the radio voice of the Tennessee Titans. So he's gonna
be calling cam Ward's games now. Taylor zarz Are. He goes,
I want you to make He goes, well, Cam's gonna
be the number one pick. Like it's it's like if
you put to win one hundred dollars. Right now, we
can talk to Aaron Oster, who's one of our the
sports marketing gambling guy here at the Circus Sportsbook. Cam
(07:03):
is the guy you'd have to put up I think
like three grand to make a hundred.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Now it's him, so listen prediction.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
So a decade ago, we're at the Duke North Carolina
game and he said, I want you to I want
to introduce you to this country music artist. I'm like,
all right, whatever, let me meet this guy whoever. And
he knew more about me than I knew about him.
That guy's name Eric Church.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Oh ye awesome.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
So I'm like, well nice.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And he was the coolest guy ever, huge Tar Heels fan,
so you know, he wasn't perfect, but cool dude. And
I did like some of his stuff because I met him.
I can't believe you've never seen Godfather one two, Casino
or Goodfellas.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
And you like country music?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Man, I thought I had you. I thought I.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Had country music game. Bad man, it got a little
got a little some to it. I don't know what
it is, but when I hear it, it puts a little
smile on my face.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
New Country is also different, like I can't stand that
old twangy stuff.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
But yeah, New Country it's.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Like, yeah, I don't want Yeah, No, I'm not I'm
not feeling that. I'm not not feeling that at all.
Aaron who is our tremendous uh. He's the sports gamay
and sports marketing guy here at the at the and
let me just say his exact title, sports marketing manager,
which I had a right, Aaron Auster correct oster. I
(08:17):
said to win one hundred dollars on cam Ward being
the number one pick. Now, don't you have to put
up like a lot? I think you've got to put
up like probably at least a thousand or more.
Speaker 9 (08:28):
Yeah, kim Ward is basically a prohibitive favorite right now
to go number one. I would be surprised if that
goes off the board very quickly. Right as far as
the NFL draft goes, that the big change has been
at the two and three picks.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Before it was Carter that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Was the favorite.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Okay, now Travis Hunter.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Now Travis Hunter, it was Carter was the favorite to
go two, Hunter was the favorite to go three.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
That's flipped in the past week or so.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Okay, all right, so you're they're gonna actually take the
cam Ward thing off the book soon, It wouldn't, I
mean right now, it's so do you know they cut
off interviews with everybody, right exactly?
Speaker 9 (09:03):
They cut off interviews with everybody. I mean they're already
making it absolutely for HIV. I think it's actually you
said it was a thousand. I think at some books
it's about like ten thousand.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Now it's a complete prohibitent. Like if you want to
play it, you know, but ten granted, make a hundred.
I mean, look, it's free. It's free money. It's free money.
It's free money. You got it like that?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Hey listen, I'm not Billy Walter, so I'm not in
the Gamely Hall of Fame here at the Circus Sports,
but the greatest sports book of all time. I want
to thank you so much for having us here.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Absolutely, we love having you guys here.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
We love having everyone from Seattle, everyone from Washington out here.
And look I figure right now, April little dicey weather
in right now?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Is it beautiful?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yeah, sure, Oh it's absolutely no, it's it's gorgeous.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
It's Seattle. No, no here, oh no, by the way,
right now.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
That's what I'm saying right now, probably not a bad
time to take a quick trip down to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
If you're in Seattle. It's never a bad time. And
I want to just for every out there that's in
the PNW and throughout the Seattle area, it's listening to
my sexy voice right now.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Let me just say this. When you come to the Circa,
the world's largest sports book, the world's best sports book.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Would you come down here? You gotta enter the Circa
Survivor and Circa Million, the biggest legal football contest in
the world. Circa Survivor is your Classic Survivor pool, but
with one thousand dollars buy in, all the money goes
to the prize pool.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Last year, eight people.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Split drum roll fourteen point two million dollars right here
at Circa You gotta do it.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
That's unbelievable. Circa Million is pick five games against the spread.
Winner gets a million dollars payout to the top one hundred,
top one.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Hundred quarterly and half season prizes. So if you get
hot for four weeks, all of a sudden you could
win two hundred and fifty grand, just like that. Last
year it was six million dollars guaranteed, again all out
of the price school we actually went under, so we
had an overlay there. We only had fifty seven hundred entrance,
so we had to pull a little bit of money
out of Derek Stevens pockets. Go into the prize pool. Yep,
(11:10):
and we're going to be announcing that pretty shortly.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Here entries artup.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
But anytime you come out here over the summer, you
can enter Circus survivor Circumillion.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Aaron's awesome.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And I just got to throw this a little bit
to the lawmakers in the state of Washington right now,
the great state of Washington, and not now call home.
It's pretty nice now that if I want to just
not that I want to leave Vegas, but let's just
say I took a ride down the Lake Taho a reno.
While I'm on the road, I can actually bet on
(11:41):
my freaking phone, unlike the State of Washington, where I
have to be on a casino property to do so.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
So, now do you want to stay out there?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
For the people in Seattle listen right now, Aaron, give
us some action on the masters right now what you're
seeing here at the circle, But people have placed I
told you what I did.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
I hedge. So my big is Colin Morikawa. I put
a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I'm all in on Colin Morricawa, and I think everybody's
from Seattle. She get behind him, and I hedged on
the favorite Scotti Scheffler. Now you had a couple guys
that you put on that you bet on right now,
and can you tell people out there right now where
some of the sharp actions lining?
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Uh yeah, I mean we've definitely seen some action, just
kind of pulling this up now Brooks Kapka, jordan' spieth
actually has taken a lot of action recently. And Colin
Morricawa here took a lot of action.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Seattle get behind him. I love this kid. I love him.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I don't care if he said the Meatia is being hard.
This kid's the next big star in America. Yeah, so
we have we have those.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I'm trying to see if there's any other people who
were sweating out a little bit. Cameron Smith, he hasn't
been playing very well, but he owns this course. So
we saw a lot of people come in just play
him and then we have a little bit of a
liability on him as well.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Interesting is there any way Because I said this the
other day, I would love to do this.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Can I bet? Can I fade Rory mackleroy Yoh yeah.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
So Circus Sports is one of the few places that
offer yes and no prices and almost every serious So yeah,
you can go up there and just say no on
Royal mackerel. Granted at plus seven hundred, you're laying a
decent amount of money. The other way, it's probably somewhere
in the minus twelve hundred range something.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Like that, so I have to put minus twelve hundred.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Yeah, if you want to bet, just no, Rory's not
going to win, okay, or you can just find other ways.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
So you guys do the feates.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Yeah, we put yes no prices on just about every
It's one of the reasons we have one of the
lowest holds in the country of any sports.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I mean, this is the best. Man.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
If you come out here and we are outside right
now at Stadium Swim and it's just awesome.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
We'll be talking to you some more, and thank you
for just validating the thing that I said about Cam
word from the U he will be the number one
pick and it's gonna be off the board soon. So
that means you really know he's going to be the
number one pick. When Vegas takes it off the board,
that usually means.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
It's a wrap.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Aaron Oster, sports marketing manager at Circus Sports Book edible inside.
You want to go outside, and kid, I will tell you,
Jess can kind of back.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Me up on this.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
So Erin set us up with a server, and and
not just and any server, so it's you know, kid,
you're a very handsome guy. I will admit I can
say this, uh as a straight man, you're a very
handsome guy. But we have a server today. Her name
is Lindsay, and she is wearing a thong bikini. And
(14:27):
so when she comes over to our table, she's in
a thong bikini.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
You don't see that every day on Elliott Bay.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
I'm a straight married woman and I'm questioning myself right now.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
We see that again, Jess.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
I said, I'm a straight married woman and I'm questioning myself.
After seeing her, I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
I mean it's like kids turns around and I'm like,
I have to look away because my mind just it's
just it's not often that you're at the world's largest
sports book at.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Stadium Swim and someone like Lindsay's serving you drinks in
a thong.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
It's just that.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Doesn't keep I'll be the drinker in this situation. How
about that?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
No, you said that if you got distracted that kid
and I have to be at the ready, And now
I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Know if I'll be at the yeah kid, Yeah, it'll
be yeah kid, It'll be the Christopher Kids show here
pretty soon if Wendsay comes back over here. So anyway,
but regardless, we're we're enjoying the time right now. It's
a big show out there. Oh you know what. And
I got to take a little credit for the Mariners
victory yesterday. And I'll tell you why. Last week I
(15:27):
was at Jimmy's on first on a Wednesday, and the
night before on Tuesday, the Mariners got absolutely mollywop to
use an Ian Ferns term, they got absolutely destroyed last
week on a Tuesday night. And I came in the
next day and I was just like it was a
(15:48):
rant of you know, a rant that I won't forget
anytime soon.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
And so then you get to last night.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah, last week it was uh, they lost to the
Tigers at home, and then I go on a rant.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Okay, then after the rant, I go on at Jimmy's
on First. They win that day three to two.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yesterday at Jimmy's on First, I go on another ramp.
Uh because they lose in twelve innings two to one.
The offense was absolutely piss poor, pathetic, And so what
do they do. They're down five to nothing yesterday they
come back and they pull it out behind Randy rose Ana.
So maybe, maybe, just maybe it takes me going on
(16:33):
a rant at Jimmy's on First and then getting on
a plane because the Mariners are now two and oh.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
If we're studying trends, that's a trend right now. They're
two and oh.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
After my big rants and just saying that you get
what you pay for, you get what you deserve. This
is Jerry Depoto and he you know, and this is
all the fans and all the people that told me, Mark,
you have no idea. We've seen this but for the
last decade, and it's happened for the last four years,
and it's just I said, no, no, no, I'm gonna
be the prince of positivity here. Well, in one week
(17:07):
rant last Tuesday, after the game on our last Wednesday,
after Tuesday night's lost to the Tigers, they come out
they win on Wednesday Rant yesterday, after the loss on
Tuesday night to the Astros where they couldn't even get
a runner in from second base and extra innings. Then
they come back down five to nothing yesterday and they win.
So when I criticize, I criticize, but I have to
(17:31):
give credit where credit is due.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
All right, Coming up.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Next, how did the Nuggets make one of the biggest
mistakes of all time? Firing Mike Malone MJ and The
Midday live from Stadium Swim, the world's largest sports book
at Circa in Las Vegas on ninety three to three
kJ R them from the world's largest sports book indoor
outdoor stadium swim watching the Masters right now. They got
(17:58):
the White Sox and Guardians on right now, as well
as the uh the Tampa Bay Rays and the Angels
going on right now.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
There's a lot of things going on.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I also got to say last night we got back
to the hotel, one of the things I always have
to do every time I come to Vegas is I've
got to go to In and Out Burger. So I
took the Uber lift over to In and Out Burger
last night. I want to do something for Seattle and
selfishly for me too, because I'm an only child, and I,
you know, usually think of me, myself and I before
(18:31):
anybody else. So I'm not It's not just for Seattle,
It's for me too. I want to bring In and
Out Burger to Seattle. I need to bring in and
Out Burger in Seattle. I was shocked that there isn't
an in and Out Burger in Seattle. I can't believe
that there isn't. But I want to bring one to Seattle.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
We need to do that. So I got two double
doubles last night, animal style with extra spread. Oh.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I can't even explain. Your husband Mike knows. He's looking
at me right now, and we've got to bring I
thought it was I thought it was in every state
on the West Coast.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I thought it was. I know it's in Phoenix, I
know it's in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
It's not like in Bellevue or something.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
It's not even in the it's not even anywhere near
in the Seattle area.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Nowhere near, and I think they might be. I don't know.
How is there no in and out.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
It should be in Seattle.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Well, Seattle's sound like really a chain area, though there's
one in Vancouver.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Yeah, well you know what to Maybe maybe because of
dick Burger's Dick.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Which is a local legend.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
It's a local and maybe they feel that supports local.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Yeah, but oh listen, I hey, Dick's, dix Burger's is phenomenal.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go with my number
one seed.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
My cam Ward is in and out Burger, So they
are my number one seed. Yeah, that's my cam Ward
right there. Oh, Aaron Oster, the sports marketing major. You're
a manager at the Circus sports book. He backed it up.
He showed it that right now, it's almost off the board.
Cam Word is minus ten thousand to win one hundred
(20:09):
dollars on cam Ord to be a the number one
overall pick.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
So here you go, breaking news.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Yeah it is, but we're in Washington.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
It's southern Washington.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
But yeah that doesn't count. I need Western Washington. What
the hell is southern Washington? What even is that?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Probably people that eat a lot more in and out
than in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Right, yeah, in and out. Please come to Western Washington.
We love you, we need you, and you know it.
And by the way, it's it's better than Dick's just
saying it is. Oh one more thing, speaking of college
football futures, you want to do this, okay, Washington Husky
softy Dick. I'm talking to you guys, to win twent
(20:54):
on the Washington Huskies to win the national championship right
now at the Circus Sports Book. You put up one
hundred dollars, if they win the national title, you win
twenty five thousand.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
No, no, no, no, no, that's not as much as Wazoo.
If you if you put up one hundred dollars on
the Washington State Cougars, the alma mater of Ian Furness
and Christopher Kidd in a pit stop at one time
for cam Ward, one hundred dollars will win you half
a million, five hundred grand. That's how the odds makers
(21:32):
in Vegas thinks that Washington State has about as much
chance as winning the national title as I do. Taking
Scarlett Johansson away from Colin Jost. I've got a better
chance than they do winning the national title. So there's that,
all right, Mike Malone And we got the guys from
(21:53):
a ninety two point five altitude sports network next to us.
Mike Sanford's gonna join us next hour. Why would you
fire one of the best coaches in the world. As
a matter of fact, I can make an argument that
Mike Malone is the best basketball coach in the world,
better than Eric Spolstra, better than Joe Missoula. With all
(22:13):
due respect, I know he won the NBA title last year,
but he's nowhere near Mike Malone. He's better than Nick Nurse.
He's better than Mike Budenholzer. He's better than Tom Thibodeau,
Doc Rivers, J. J.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Reddick.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Oh, Now, what's weird?
Speaker 6 (22:29):
They fired him with five games left in the regular season.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I don't understand how that happened. I don't understand why
that happened. They go on the road last night to
Sacramento and they win that one against the lowly Kings,
and it's one of the He was the fourth longest
tenured coach in the NBA, behind Greg Popovich, Eric Spolstra,
and Steve Kerr. And by the way, Mike Malone's a
(22:54):
better basketball coach than Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr was just
gifted with the Splash Brothers in their prime, Draymond Green
future Hall of Famer and one of the top ten
to twelve greatest players of all time, and his prime
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
So give Mike Malone that and Mike Malone.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Would have won five titles. Mike Malone's a better coach
than Steve Kerr. How does this happen? Why did he's
the winningest coach? Well, there's there's something that looked into
right now, and if this costs Mike Malone's job, then
he's stupid. There's talk that so star treatment should be
(23:35):
given to superstars. So if you're giving superstar treatment to
Nicole jokicch and Jamal Murray.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
They led you to a title, right, Yeah, you don't
have a problem with that.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
If you give star treatment Jess to Jalen Hurts and
Saquon Barkley, if you're Nick Sirianni, that's okay, right.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
You have to define star treatment though, because in the NBA,
it's not in the NFL, but in the NBA there's
this whole load management.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Or is it he can show up late to practice.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
No no, no, no no, no load management no no, but
you just star treatments just where like these guys might
not have to get up and do two a day's
at five in the morning. That's like no, no, no no,
but there you want them to play. But you just like, hey,
if you don't want to practice today, you're good. You're
Jamal Murray, You're you're Nicola Yo. Get your three time MVP.
(24:19):
You should have been a four time MVP if it
wasn't for the media just wanting to give it to
somebody other than Jokic for four years in a row.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
If you're Andy Reid and you're giving star treatment to
Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones or a Kelsey, don't have a
problem with that.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Okay, you know what the word is.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
This is why Josh croanky, this is what I will
find out from Mike sand for next hour because I
want to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Now.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
They're the flagship for the Nuggets too. He was giving,
and he was going above and beyond the call for
the ultimate team killer who's never won a bleeping thing
called a ring Russell Westbrook, and apparently that pissed off
Jokic and Jamal Murray, and so they went to Josh
(25:05):
Cronky allegedly.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
And said, Yo, w tf is going on here? WTF?
And so apparent. Now I still think that's stupid. With
five games left in the season with them as the
fourth seed, that's still done. Now they dropped to the
five seed. Mike Malone, please tell me you didn't lose your.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Job over Russell F. N.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Westbrook, a guy who's a w Russell washed up Westbrook.
Why would you risk your job and alienate the greatest
player in the world, Nikola Jokic and a guy who
helped lead you to a title in Jamal Murray.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
He might have also pissed off Michael Porter Junior too.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Like?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Why why would you do I don't understand, because he.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Lost he lost his locker room, no matter.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
What way, and here and therein lie since the All
Start break, they've been they were eleven thirteen and that's
where he just got fired a couple of days ago,
while we were live on the air two days ago,
like forty eight hours ago at this time, and I'm like,
how could you do that? But jess, if you lose
the locker room in sports as a coach, you gotta go.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Yeah, it's over.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
I mean, we watch Jim Mora out here one and
done with the Seahawks, and that was even kind of
a shock, you know, like, but that's exactly what happened. Yeah,
he lost his locker room and you can't beat that.
And it might go on very very good coach, like
you were saying, but you have to be a leader
of men and also keep the team together and whatever
(26:39):
that might look like.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
But he could have pulled Westbrook aside.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Of been like, Hayman, I gotta keep this thing going.
And I know this, but I don't know web.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
You know, people will always throw shade at Kevin Durant
for leaving Oklahoma City. He knew that with James Hardens,
mean well prior hard nun already left.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
He went to Houston.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
But at the end there in twenty sixteen, Durant saw
he could never win a title at Russell Westbrook. I
give Durant credit and people forget that. Kevin Durant, former
Seattle Super Songs draft pick number two out of the
University of Texas. He goes to Golden State and he
went back to back rings. He would have done that
(27:22):
in Oklahoma City had he stayed, he wouldn't have done that.
So there in Lives we will talk to Mike Sandford.
Coming up one of the most hilarious things that happen
in San Antonio with a guy who's America's favorite treasure,
mister Charles Barkley. This is one of the funniest things
you will ever hear. This is the number one draft pick.
This is the cam Ward of sound for what we
(27:45):
have next on Hitting to All Fields live from Stadium
Swim at the world's largest sports book, the Circa on
MJ in the midday, ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Hugh Millen. We will get to the Seahawks to the draft.
We can never talk enough draft.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
And yeah, it's almost off the board that cam Ord
will be the number one overall pick, ten thousand to
win one hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
So yeah, that tells you.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Charles Barkley has had some well let's just say, not
so pleasant words about the women in San Antonio and
when he was in town over the weekend for the
Final Four with Kenny Smith, well, let's just say the
women of San Antonio got to speak their mind to
sir Charles.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
Hey, what's up everyone. We're in the lovely city of
San Antonio, and we have the person who loves San
Antonio the most.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
Let's be real.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You don't even have any rings, so I can't trust
that you're gonna give me one if you don't even
have any Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Wow, it's a good thing. I'm not sensitive. What's your name?
Speaker 6 (29:19):

And I pop my lalloon because I mean, have you
seen his golf swing?
Speaker 2 (29:27):

golf swing.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Next, Hi, I'm Taylor.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Why did you pop your balloon?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Taylor?
Speaker 7 (29:35):
So you have a.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Great sense of humor, but I'm just not attracted to you.
Speaker 2 (29:41):

a bank account, things like that. Why'd you stop at
bank account?
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Next?
Speaker 7 (29:51):
I'm on Heleita.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I like to be the center of attention, and I
feel like you try to steal the spotlight.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You know him really well, don't you Listen. It'll work
out for you in the long run, because you're gonna
be right beside me.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
Okay, we get we get shined together. Take it from
someone who's sitting next to him. You don't get shined together.
I am Oh, just the way you looked at me.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
What's your name?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
I would never date a man who talks bad about
my city.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I did not wait.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
First of all, hold on, you can pop it again
if you like. Obviously, no love for my man, Chuck.
Here in the city of San Antonio. Our next stop,
ladies and gentlemen, for Chuck Galveston, Texas.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Oh lord, all right, so there it was right there.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
The Charles Barkley getting the well, let's just say a
little bit of revenge. I mean the women of San
Antonio getting revenge on Charles Barkley. So it's uh, he
said some nice things about the women san Antonio.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
I I didn't see what Charles talked about. There was
some pretty women down there? Was it Miami?
Speaker 5 (31:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (31:03):
You know, was it?
Speaker 7 (31:05):
No Texas kind of slaps when it comes to the women.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Hot category, it slaps slaps slaps.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Oh yeah, but is san Antonio? Though?
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I have more Dallas, Austin.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Yeah, I don't feel like.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Oh and thanks to Ian Fornas who told me, whatever
you do, don't waste your time going to the Alamo.
I didn't go to the Alamo because I heard it's
a big nothing went It's like that's it.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Yeah, I went for the Alamo Bowl with Washington State.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
What did I not miss?
Speaker 8 (31:41):
It's just really small and it is a historical site,
but it's not some like museum or anything.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
It's just a small bird building.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Yeah, in the middle of it, which which I'm not
I'm certainly not sad that I missed it all right.
Coming up next Gary Hill, Mariner's broadcaster. Have they turned
it around after winning the first series of the twenty
five MLB season As well, Mike Sanford from Denver will
join us, and well, maybe these internet slus are wrong.
They these guys, they have another premise about Mike Malone
(32:14):
and why he was fired, which I did not know,
which we will find out next hour on MJ in
the midday live from Stadium Swim, the world's largest sportsbook
at the Circa in Las Vegas on MJ in the
midday ninety three to three kJ RU
Before I ever ran a casino or got myself blown up.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Ace Rothstein was a hell of a handicapper.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I can tell you that I was so good that
whenever I bet, I could change the yards for every
book maker in the country. I'm serious. I had it
down so cold that I was given paradise on Earth.
I was given one of the biggest casinos in Las
Vegas to run, the Tangier Is. At that time, Vegas
was a place where millions of suckers flew in every
year on their own nickel and left behind about a
(00:27):
billion dollars. But at night you couldn't see the desert
that surrounds Las Vegas. But it's in the desert where
lots of the town's problems are solved.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot
of problems are buried in those holes.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Except you got to do it right.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
I mean, you got to have the hole already dug
before you show up with a package in the truck.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And along with making us legit comes cash, tons of it.
I mean, what do you think we're doing out here
in the middle of the desert. It's all this money.
This is the end result of all the bright lights,
and the camp trips, of all the champagne and free
hotel suites, and all the broads and all the booze.
(01:17):
It's all been arranged just for us to get your money.
That's the truth about Las Vegas. We're the only winners.
The players don't stand a chance. And their cash flows
from the tables to our boxes, through the cage and
into the most sacred room in the casino, the place
(01:39):
where they add up all the money, the holy of holies,
the count Room.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
And here we are live from Las Vegas, at the Circa,
the Stadium, swim the world's largest sportsbook.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
This is MJ in the midday Mark James, Mark with
a C.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
James here with you and I have never had a
better view in my life at looking at I mean,
this is just it almost feels like heaven on earth.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I can't believe.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I have to pinch myself to realize that I am
here overlooking the biggest screen that you could ever look at.
Outside right below us, there's a swimming pool. You don't
have to leave it. There's a sports bet, kiosk, you
got drinks. You want to start at ten in the
morning or six in the morning. You can do that
you got food? Oh, by the way, did I mention
(02:32):
that they have a food and drink Venu that is
the equivalent of what they're serving in Augusta right now
with Augusta prices, Pimento cheese sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches for
a buck fifty. This is just unbelievable and we are
very happy to be here with you today.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
So got a lot to talk about.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
We will be joined next hour by Gary Hill, the
Mariners broadcaster. We will talk to a gentleman from ALTI
Sports Network ninety two point five, the flagship home of
the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Next hour, Mike Sandford will join us live.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
He's actually like I could punch him, he's so close
to me right now.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
No, we will not do that.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Will I could kiss him too, Jess, But I won't
do that either, Jessamin Mackettyre's here with me with that,
with that great laugh, that's unimitatable laugh. We had a
nice flight in we'll get we had a lot of
stories to tell.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
So he's next to me.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
And then coming up at noon, the great r QB one,
our number one draft pick, Hu Millin. So a couple
of things, Jess and I came in on Alaska Airlines
last night. Now she's a big shot. I'm just a
mere pedestrian coach flyer. I've never been on Alaska Airlines
until last night.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
You haven't. No, first time in my life you have lived.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
No, I have not, and I have not.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And then you allowed me, with your you know, VIP
status that you get with Alaska Airlines, you allowed me
to come into the Alaska Airlines lounge and and I
put on Instagram and check it out right there in
my handle at Mark James Talk M A R. C.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
James Talk. I was like a little kid. Literally, there's
this thing called the pancake printer.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
And you And I asked this kid, I was the
only person in there above the age of nine that
was eating pancakes at about two forty five in the
afternoon yesterday.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Okay, So I said, how do you do it? He goes,
you just hit the okay button and when you hit
the okay button, two pancakes will they'll make it fresh
and they'll come in your plate. And I said, oh,
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, oh my, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
This is literally a printer for a pancakes.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's a printer for pancakes, which is something I've never
heard of. You were enjoying your your favorite libation. Yeah,
you know, and I had, and it was just like, Man,
I feel like a kid in a candy store here
got in last night.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Then the fine.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Folks here at the CIRCA credit to the president CEO,
mister Stevens and Mike Palm, the vice president.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
They send us straight.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
That was ridiculous, Like, what is up with that?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
People are staring at. I'm like, Jess, we got to
put the windows down in the back.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
I'm like, I was like, it's that car.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
It's that car, It's that uber, It's that Nope, Nope,
it was the stretch limo.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
How did you feel when they sent a stretch limo
last night?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How great?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Was that?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Pretty solid?
Speaker 8 (05:17):
I would say I felt like being catered to almost
more than we deserved.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Well, we're clearly not worthy of it.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah, it was great though. And by the way, fully stocked.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh, no doubt. I And by the way, you know,
and kid knows this. Kid and I we we agree
on a couple of things. And kid doesn't know one
thing about me, but we we agree on a bunch
of things. Now, kid, I'm not a drinker like you.
But but so we have that in come because.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I know you're not a drinker. Correct. Here, kid, there's
one more thing you don't know about me.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
But I think you and I I'm gonna guess on
this that you and I are on the same page
on this.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I detest country music.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'm sorry, I don't mind country music. Oh my god,
what there is there's I think? How do I explain this?
I'm open to all music, the only one that don't
where it stops for me. How you feel about country
music is how I feel about death metal.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Well, I don't like that, ye, but but like, let's
just say now the old school Johnny Cash Well, I.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Love Okay, so you do like some countries.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
But here's the thing. The man in black was his
own entity.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Yes, he country, he was he.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Was just Johnny. He was Johnny Johnny.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
He was Johnny Like and I met this guy about
a decade ago.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
He knew more about me than I knew about him.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
My former co host, by the way, who just became
the radio voice of the Tennessee Titans. So he's gonna
be calling cam Ward's games now. Taylor zarz Are. He goes,
I want you to make He goes, well, Cam's gonna
be the number one pick. Like it's it's like if
you put to win one hundred dollars. Right now, we
can talk to Aaron Oster, who's one of our the
sports marketing gambling guy here at the Circus Sportsbook. Cam
(07:03):
is the guy you'd have to put up I think
like three grand to make a hundred.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Now it's him, so listen prediction.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
So a decade ago, we're at the Duke North Carolina
game and he said, I want you to I want
to introduce you to this country music artist. I'm like,
all right, whatever, let me meet this guy whoever. And
he knew more about me than I knew about him.
That guy's name Eric Church.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Oh ye awesome.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
So I'm like, well nice.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And he was the coolest guy ever, huge Tar Heels fan,
so you know, he wasn't perfect, but cool dude. And
I did like some of his stuff because I met him.
I can't believe you've never seen Godfather one two, Casino
or Goodfellas.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
And you like country music?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Man, I thought I had you. I thought I.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Had country music game. Bad man, it got a little
got a little some to it. I don't know what
it is, but when I hear it, it puts a little
smile on my face.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
New Country is also different, like I can't stand that
old twangy stuff.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
But yeah, New Country it's.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Like, yeah, I don't want Yeah, No, I'm not I'm
not feeling that. I'm not not feeling that at all.
Aaron who is our tremendous uh. He's the sports gamay
and sports marketing guy here at the at the and
let me just say his exact title, sports marketing manager,
which I had a right, Aaron Auster correct oster. I
(08:17):
said to win one hundred dollars on cam Ward being
the number one pick. Now, don't you have to put
up like a lot? I think you've got to put
up like probably at least a thousand or more.
Speaker 9 (08:28):
Yeah, kim Ward is basically a prohibitive favorite right now
to go number one. I would be surprised if that
goes off the board very quickly. Right as far as
the NFL draft goes, that the big change has been
at the two and three picks.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Before it was Carter that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Was the favorite.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Okay, now Travis Hunter.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Now Travis Hunter, it was Carter was the favorite to
go two, Hunter was the favorite to go three.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
That's flipped in the past week or so.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Okay, all right, so you're they're gonna actually take the
cam Ward thing off the book soon, It wouldn't, I
mean right now, it's so do you know they cut
off interviews with everybody, right exactly?
Speaker 9 (09:03):
They cut off interviews with everybody. I mean they're already
making it absolutely for HIV. I think it's actually you
said it was a thousand. I think at some books
it's about like ten thousand.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Now it's a complete prohibitent. Like if you want to
play it, you know, but ten granted, make a hundred.
I mean, look, it's free. It's free money. It's free money.
It's free money. You got it like that?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Hey listen, I'm not Billy Walter, so I'm not in
the Gamely Hall of Fame here at the Circus Sports,
but the greatest sports book of all time. I want
to thank you so much for having us here.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Absolutely, we love having you guys here.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
We love having everyone from Seattle, everyone from Washington out here.
And look I figure right now, April little dicey weather
in right now?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Is it beautiful?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yeah, sure, Oh it's absolutely no, it's it's gorgeous.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
It's Seattle. No, no here, oh no, by the way,
right now.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
That's what I'm saying right now, probably not a bad
time to take a quick trip down to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
If you're in Seattle. It's never a bad time. And
I want to just for every out there that's in
the PNW and throughout the Seattle area, it's listening to
my sexy voice right now.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Let me just say this. When you come to the Circa,
the world's largest sports book, the world's best sports book.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Would you come down here? You gotta enter the Circa
Survivor and Circa Million, the biggest legal football contest in
the world. Circa Survivor is your Classic Survivor pool, but
with one thousand dollars buy in, all the money goes
to the prize pool.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Last year, eight people.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Split drum roll fourteen point two million dollars right here
at Circa You gotta do it.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
That's unbelievable. Circa Million is pick five games against the spread.
Winner gets a million dollars payout to the top one hundred,
top one.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Hundred quarterly and half season prizes. So if you get
hot for four weeks, all of a sudden you could
win two hundred and fifty grand, just like that. Last
year it was six million dollars guaranteed, again all out
of the price school we actually went under, so we
had an overlay there. We only had fifty seven hundred entrance,
so we had to pull a little bit of money
out of Derek Stevens pockets. Go into the prize pool. Yep,
(11:10):
and we're going to be announcing that pretty shortly.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Here entries artup.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
But anytime you come out here over the summer, you
can enter Circus survivor Circumillion.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Aaron's awesome.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And I just got to throw this a little bit
to the lawmakers in the state of Washington right now,
the great state of Washington, and not now call home.
It's pretty nice now that if I want to just
not that I want to leave Vegas, but let's just
say I took a ride down the Lake Taho a reno.
While I'm on the road, I can actually bet on
(11:41):
my freaking phone, unlike the State of Washington, where I
have to be on a casino property to do so.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
So, now do you want to stay out there?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
For the people in Seattle listen right now, Aaron, give
us some action on the masters right now what you're
seeing here at the circle, But people have placed I
told you what I did.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
I hedge. So my big is Colin Morikawa. I put
a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I'm all in on Colin Morricawa, and I think everybody's
from Seattle. She get behind him, and I hedged on
the favorite Scotti Scheffler. Now you had a couple guys
that you put on that you bet on right now,
and can you tell people out there right now where
some of the sharp actions lining?
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Uh yeah, I mean we've definitely seen some action, just
kind of pulling this up now Brooks Kapka, jordan' spieth
actually has taken a lot of action recently. And Colin
Morricawa here took a lot of action.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Seattle get behind him. I love this kid. I love him.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I don't care if he said the Meatia is being hard.
This kid's the next big star in America. Yeah, so
we have we have those.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I'm trying to see if there's any other people who
were sweating out a little bit. Cameron Smith, he hasn't
been playing very well, but he owns this course. So
we saw a lot of people come in just play
him and then we have a little bit of a
liability on him as well.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Interesting is there any way Because I said this the
other day, I would love to do this.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Can I bet? Can I fade Rory mackleroy Yoh yeah.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
So Circus Sports is one of the few places that
offer yes and no prices and almost every serious So yeah,
you can go up there and just say no on
Royal mackerel. Granted at plus seven hundred, you're laying a
decent amount of money. The other way, it's probably somewhere
in the minus twelve hundred range something.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Like that, so I have to put minus twelve hundred.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Yeah, if you want to bet, just no, Rory's not
going to win, okay, or you can just find other ways.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
So you guys do the feates.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Yeah, we put yes no prices on just about every
It's one of the reasons we have one of the
lowest holds in the country of any sports.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I mean, this is the best. Man.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
If you come out here and we are outside right
now at Stadium Swim and it's just awesome.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
We'll be talking to you some more, and thank you
for just validating the thing that I said about Cam
word from the U he will be the number one
pick and it's gonna be off the board soon. So
that means you really know he's going to be the
number one pick. When Vegas takes it off the board,
that usually means.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
It's a wrap.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Aaron Oster, sports marketing manager at Circus Sports Book edible inside.
You want to go outside, and kid, I will tell you,
Jess can kind of back.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Me up on this.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
So Erin set us up with a server, and and
not just and any server, so it's you know, kid,
you're a very handsome guy. I will admit I can
say this, uh as a straight man, you're a very
handsome guy. But we have a server today. Her name
is Lindsay, and she is wearing a thong bikini. And
(14:27):
so when she comes over to our table, she's in
a thong bikini.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
You don't see that every day on Elliott Bay.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
I'm a straight married woman and I'm questioning myself right now.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
We see that again, Jess.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
I said, I'm a straight married woman and I'm questioning myself.
After seeing her, I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
I mean it's like kids turns around and I'm like,
I have to look away because my mind just it's
just it's not often that you're at the world's largest
sports book at.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Stadium Swim and someone like Lindsay's serving you drinks in
a thong.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
It's just that.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Doesn't keep I'll be the drinker in this situation. How
about that?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
No, you said that if you got distracted that kid
and I have to be at the ready, And now
I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Know if I'll be at the yeah kid, Yeah, it'll
be yeah kid, It'll be the Christopher Kids show here
pretty soon if Wendsay comes back over here. So anyway,
but regardless, we're we're enjoying the time right now. It's
a big show out there. Oh you know what. And
I got to take a little credit for the Mariners
victory yesterday. And I'll tell you why. Last week I
(15:27):
was at Jimmy's on first on a Wednesday, and the
night before on Tuesday, the Mariners got absolutely mollywop to
use an Ian Ferns term, they got absolutely destroyed last
week on a Tuesday night. And I came in the
next day and I was just like it was a
(15:48):
rant of you know, a rant that I won't forget
anytime soon.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
And so then you get to last night.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah, last week it was uh, they lost to the
Tigers at home, and then I go on a rant.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Okay, then after the rant, I go on at Jimmy's
on First. They win that day three to two.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yesterday at Jimmy's on First, I go on another ramp.
Uh because they lose in twelve innings two to one.
The offense was absolutely piss poor, pathetic, And so what
do they do. They're down five to nothing yesterday they
come back and they pull it out behind Randy rose Ana.
So maybe, maybe, just maybe it takes me going on
(16:33):
a rant at Jimmy's on First and then getting on
a plane because the Mariners are now two and oh.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
If we're studying trends, that's a trend right now. They're
two and oh.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
After my big rants and just saying that you get
what you pay for, you get what you deserve. This
is Jerry Depoto and he you know, and this is
all the fans and all the people that told me, Mark,
you have no idea. We've seen this but for the
last decade, and it's happened for the last four years,
and it's just I said, no, no, no, I'm gonna
be the prince of positivity here. Well, in one week
(17:07):
rant last Tuesday, after the game on our last Wednesday,
after Tuesday night's lost to the Tigers, they come out
they win on Wednesday Rant yesterday, after the loss on
Tuesday night to the Astros where they couldn't even get
a runner in from second base and extra innings. Then
they come back down five to nothing yesterday and they win.
So when I criticize, I criticize, but I have to
(17:31):
give credit where credit is due.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
All right, Coming up.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Next, how did the Nuggets make one of the biggest
mistakes of all time? Firing Mike Malone MJ and The
Midday live from Stadium Swim, the world's largest sports book
at Circa in Las Vegas on ninety three to three
kJ R them from the world's largest sports book indoor
outdoor stadium swim watching the Masters right now. They got
(17:58):
the White Sox and Guardians on right now, as well
as the uh the Tampa Bay Rays and the Angels
going on right now.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
There's a lot of things going on.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I also got to say last night we got back
to the hotel, one of the things I always have
to do every time I come to Vegas is I've
got to go to In and Out Burger. So I
took the Uber lift over to In and Out Burger
last night. I want to do something for Seattle and
selfishly for me too, because I'm an only child, and I,
you know, usually think of me, myself and I before
(18:31):
anybody else. So I'm not It's not just for Seattle,
It's for me too. I want to bring In and
Out Burger to Seattle. I need to bring in and
Out Burger in Seattle. I was shocked that there isn't
an in and Out Burger in Seattle. I can't believe
that there isn't. But I want to bring one to Seattle.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
We need to do that. So I got two double
doubles last night, animal style with extra spread. Oh.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I can't even explain. Your husband Mike knows. He's looking
at me right now, and we've got to bring I
thought it was I thought it was in every state
on the West Coast.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I thought it was. I know it's in Phoenix, I
know it's in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
It's not like in Bellevue or something.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
It's not even in the it's not even anywhere near
in the Seattle area.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Nowhere near, and I think they might be. I don't know.
How is there no in and out.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
It should be in Seattle.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Well, Seattle's sound like really a chain area, though there's
one in Vancouver.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Yeah, well you know what to Maybe maybe because of
dick Burger's Dick.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Which is a local legend.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
It's a local and maybe they feel that supports local.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Yeah, but oh listen, I hey, Dick's, dix Burger's is phenomenal.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go with my number
one seed.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
My cam Ward is in and out Burger, So they
are my number one seed. Yeah, that's my cam Ward
right there. Oh, Aaron Oster, the sports marketing major. You're
a manager at the Circus sports book. He backed it up.
He showed it that right now, it's almost off the board.
Cam Word is minus ten thousand to win one hundred
(20:09):
dollars on cam Ord to be a the number one
overall pick.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
So here you go, breaking news.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Yeah it is, but we're in Washington.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
It's southern Washington.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
But yeah that doesn't count. I need Western Washington. What
the hell is southern Washington? What even is that?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Probably people that eat a lot more in and out
than in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Right, yeah, in and out. Please come to Western Washington.
We love you, we need you, and you know it.
And by the way, it's it's better than Dick's just
saying it is. Oh one more thing, speaking of college
football futures, you want to do this, okay, Washington Husky
softy Dick. I'm talking to you guys, to win twent
(20:54):
on the Washington Huskies to win the national championship right
now at the Circus Sports Book. You put up one
hundred dollars, if they win the national title, you win
twenty five thousand.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
No, no, no, no, no, that's not as much as Wazoo.
If you if you put up one hundred dollars on
the Washington State Cougars, the alma mater of Ian Furness
and Christopher Kidd in a pit stop at one time
for cam Ward, one hundred dollars will win you half
a million, five hundred grand. That's how the odds makers
(21:32):
in Vegas thinks that Washington State has about as much
chance as winning the national title as I do. Taking
Scarlett Johansson away from Colin Jost. I've got a better
chance than they do winning the national title. So there's that,
all right, Mike Malone And we got the guys from
(21:53):
a ninety two point five altitude sports network next to us.
Mike Sanford's gonna join us next hour. Why would you
fire one of the best coaches in the world. As
a matter of fact, I can make an argument that
Mike Malone is the best basketball coach in the world,
better than Eric Spolstra, better than Joe Missoula. With all
(22:13):
due respect, I know he won the NBA title last year,
but he's nowhere near Mike Malone. He's better than Nick Nurse.
He's better than Mike Budenholzer. He's better than Tom Thibodeau,
Doc Rivers, J. J.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Reddick.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Oh, Now, what's weird?
Speaker 6 (22:29):
They fired him with five games left in the regular season.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I don't understand how that happened. I don't understand why
that happened. They go on the road last night to
Sacramento and they win that one against the lowly Kings,
and it's one of the He was the fourth longest
tenured coach in the NBA, behind Greg Popovich, Eric Spolstra,
and Steve Kerr. And by the way, Mike Malone's a
(22:54):
better basketball coach than Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr was just
gifted with the Splash Brothers in their prime, Draymond Green
future Hall of Famer and one of the top ten
to twelve greatest players of all time, and his prime
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
So give Mike Malone that and Mike Malone.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Would have won five titles. Mike Malone's a better coach
than Steve Kerr. How does this happen? Why did he's
the winningest coach? Well, there's there's something that looked into
right now, and if this costs Mike Malone's job, then
he's stupid. There's talk that so star treatment should be
(23:35):
given to superstars. So if you're giving superstar treatment to
Nicole jokicch and Jamal Murray.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
They led you to a title, right, Yeah, you don't
have a problem with that.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
If you give star treatment Jess to Jalen Hurts and
Saquon Barkley, if you're Nick Sirianni, that's okay, right.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
You have to define star treatment though, because in the NBA,
it's not in the NFL, but in the NBA there's
this whole load management.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Or is it he can show up late to practice.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
No no, no, no no, no load management no no, but
you just star treatments just where like these guys might
not have to get up and do two a day's
at five in the morning. That's like no, no, no no,
but there you want them to play. But you just like, hey,
if you don't want to practice today, you're good. You're
Jamal Murray, You're you're Nicola Yo. Get your three time MVP.
(24:19):
You should have been a four time MVP if it
wasn't for the media just wanting to give it to
somebody other than Jokic for four years in a row.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
If you're Andy Reid and you're giving star treatment to
Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones or a Kelsey, don't have a
problem with that.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Okay, you know what the word is.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
This is why Josh croanky, this is what I will
find out from Mike sand for next hour because I
want to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Now.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
They're the flagship for the Nuggets too. He was giving,
and he was going above and beyond the call for
the ultimate team killer who's never won a bleeping thing
called a ring Russell Westbrook, and apparently that pissed off
Jokic and Jamal Murray, and so they went to Josh
(25:05):
Cronky allegedly.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
And said, Yo, w tf is going on here? WTF?
And so apparent. Now I still think that's stupid. With
five games left in the season with them as the
fourth seed, that's still done. Now they dropped to the
five seed. Mike Malone, please tell me you didn't lose your.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Job over Russell F. N.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Westbrook, a guy who's a w Russell washed up Westbrook.
Why would you risk your job and alienate the greatest
player in the world, Nikola Jokic and a guy who
helped lead you to a title in Jamal Murray.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
He might have also pissed off Michael Porter Junior too.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Like?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Why why would you do I don't understand, because he.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Lost he lost his locker room, no matter.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
What way, and here and therein lie since the All
Start break, they've been they were eleven thirteen and that's
where he just got fired a couple of days ago,
while we were live on the air two days ago,
like forty eight hours ago at this time, and I'm like,
how could you do that? But jess, if you lose
the locker room in sports as a coach, you gotta go.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Yeah, it's over.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
I mean, we watch Jim Mora out here one and
done with the Seahawks, and that was even kind of
a shock, you know, like, but that's exactly what happened. Yeah,
he lost his locker room and you can't beat that.
And it might go on very very good coach, like
you were saying, but you have to be a leader
of men and also keep the team together and whatever
(26:39):
that might look like.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
But he could have pulled Westbrook aside.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Of been like, Hayman, I gotta keep this thing going.
And I know this, but I don't know web.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
You know, people will always throw shade at Kevin Durant
for leaving Oklahoma City. He knew that with James Hardens,
mean well prior hard nun already left.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
He went to Houston.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
But at the end there in twenty sixteen, Durant saw
he could never win a title at Russell Westbrook. I
give Durant credit and people forget that. Kevin Durant, former
Seattle Super Songs draft pick number two out of the
University of Texas. He goes to Golden State and he
went back to back rings. He would have done that
(27:22):
in Oklahoma City had he stayed, he wouldn't have done that.
So there in Lives we will talk to Mike Sandford.
Coming up one of the most hilarious things that happen
in San Antonio with a guy who's America's favorite treasure,
mister Charles Barkley. This is one of the funniest things
you will ever hear. This is the number one draft pick.
This is the cam Ward of sound for what we
(27:45):
have next on Hitting to All Fields live from Stadium
Swim at the world's largest sports book, the Circa on
MJ in the midday, ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Hugh Millen. We will get to the Seahawks to the draft.
We can never talk enough draft.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
And yeah, it's almost off the board that cam Ord
will be the number one overall pick, ten thousand to
win one hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
So yeah, that tells you.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Charles Barkley has had some well let's just say, not
so pleasant words about the women in San Antonio and
when he was in town over the weekend for the
Final Four with Kenny Smith, well, let's just say the
women of San Antonio got to speak their mind to
sir Charles.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
Hey, what's up everyone. We're in the lovely city of
San Antonio, and we have the person who loves San
Antonio the most.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
My name is La Lana, and I just like my

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Shack Ain't got no muscles? Number one, Shack just big.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Let's be real.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You don't even have any rings, so I can't trust
that you're gonna give me one if you don't even
have any Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Wow, it's a good thing. I'm not sensitive. What's your name?
Speaker 6 (29:19):

Speaker 3 (29:20):
And I pop my lalloon because I mean, have you
seen his golf swing?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Laida. That's a low blow. That's I'm sensitive about my
golf swing.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Next, Hi, I'm Taylor.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Why did you pop your balloon?
Speaker 6 (29:35):

Speaker 7 (29:35):
So you have a.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Great sense of humor, but I'm just not attracted to you.
Speaker 2 (29:41):

a bank account, things like that. Why'd you stop at
bank account?
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Next?
Speaker 7 (29:51):

I like to be the center of attention, and I
feel like you try to steal the spotlight.
Speaker 2 (29:57):

out for you in the long run, because you're gonna
be right beside me.

Here in the city of San Antonio. Our next stop,
ladies and gentlemen, for Chuck Galveston, Texas.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Oh lord, all right, so there it was right there.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
The Charles Barkley getting the well, let's just say a
little bit of revenge. I mean the women of San
Antonio getting revenge on Charles Barkley. So it's uh, he
said some nice things about the women san Antonio.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
I I didn't see what Charles talked about. There was
some pretty women down there? Was it Miami?
Speaker 5 (31:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (31:03):
You know, was it?
Speaker 7 (31:05):
No Texas kind of slaps when it comes to the women.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Hot category, it slaps slaps slaps.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Oh yeah, but is san Antonio? Though?
