You are now swoons into the speeds and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Next on that sifer on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best.
Yet Martinez, you know what it is. It should boyd Dain Martinez a k A speeds a ka to spitting statistician and you are listening live to another edition of the Fantasy Free Style here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And as always, a big shout out to all our sports byline affiliates around the country and with the American
Forces Radio Network around the world. Shout out to the service men and women looking for a little taste of home and they get in there with speeds and spitting statistician helping them win their leagues and win that cat. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones and twos, keeping it so hot that we sweat steam.
And let me tell you something here in New York, right now in Studio thirty four at Rock and Riley's, it is so hot we are all sweating steam right now Okay, we got some uh you know, some people with some interesting fashion decisions out here on the rooftop now that it is uh, you know, ninety degrees in
the Big Bad City. And also there are some people in New York Liberty shirts as the Liberty are getting it on right now in Madison Square Garden against the Minnesota there in the w NBA has kicked off their season. But here's what we're gonna get into tonight with Donnie Burns. We're gonna talk playoffs as usual. We're gonna continue what I was telling you with Kyle Turley in terms of
his advocacy for pain management in the NFL. Interesting interview we have here as part of the three part series with an actual doctor doing clinical trials of a marijuana strain that could be very interesting for the brain. We also listen, we put the fun and Functional Sports Radio and we've given you, you know, a Lonzo ball wrapping over that Drake beat. We've given you Levy on bell Well. Damian Lillard is the last to use a Drake beat for for his latest flow. We're gonna play that and
dissect it with my man Donnie Burns. A little bit later on when we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. This is the first night though in a long time, where there is no NBA playoff games, so you know, it's interesting. All the players talked about how they wanted that rest, you know, throughout the regular season. Well they get it now. And obviously the TV schedule is another thing the NBA playoffs have to adhere to. So my question is, what is the main reason the NBA playoff
schedule is stretched out so much? Is because they can care about players safety and what players arrest or is it to get that money from those TV contracts. We'll check in on that when we come back. I'm gonna give you my starting line up the cipher. You know how how we do Holler at me if you wanted eight four four eight four, three six eight seven nine, But it's your boys, feeds the Spitting Statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
will be right back. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should boy, Dane Martinez speeds the spitting Statistician. If you want to get at me this hour, you can certainly do that at eight four four, eight, four, three, six, eight, seven nine, And there's so many ways to follow us as well. Get us on Twitter if you want at F and T s Y Radio, that Twitter handle is good to go.
And also if you want to ask me any questions to me, read out answer on the show, or just follow me for all your good sports information and fun stuff, you can follow me at Spitting Speeds. Let's get into the cipher because as you may have heard, if you're listening to the DFS Lineup Lock Show Last Hour with Tony Senkata and Benny Richardi, you know that the next game on the slates not until seven thirty. So this could be viable, usable information regardless of if you have
that late swap or not. News and notes. Unfortunately for Atlanta Braves fans and the Freeman owners, m R. I came back, he does in fact have a broken risk. He's gonna be out for three months. In a correlating roster move, the Braves have signed James Loney to play a little bit of first base. James Paxton had a good bullpen session on his comeback. Remember you had a four arm issue. He's only owned and was absolutely killing it.
When the first month and a half of the season, so worth a check to see if he is somehow available and you are in one of those ten percent of leagues where you can get him on the waiver wire. Right now, outfielder for the Blue Jays Kevin Pollar has been suspended for two games for using a Homo Furbi slur in a recent game, so he will be out of the lineup. Reports are saying now that Doug Fitzter will sign free agent Doug Fist will sign with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Is what it looks like.
They need some help with the rotation out there. Manny Machado missed the game again with that sore finger, and Eric Thames will be out tonight four Milwaukee and San Diego. He has strepped throats, so it will not be a situation. Remember I talk about this when you missed the consecutive games like that, if they just want to, you know, throw you on that ten day deal. I don't think that will be the case for Eric Thames in the Milwaukee.
But it was also sad news to report Cubs fan Richard Garrity died at the age of forty two on Tuesday, after the game, he fell over the railing at Wrigley Field and um passed away from his injuries Richard Garrity at the age of forty two. So moving on, though, I do want to give you my starting lineup for tonight. First, as usually hold ourselves accountable here on the Fantasy Freestyle last night, I told you to go from Michael Pineda against that horrible Kansas City Royal's lineup. He got to
a quality start, he got you a win. He struck out five. So once again Speeds spitting stead Stition helping you win your leagues and win that cash. I also told you that Jason Vargas was gonna get rocked against the Yankees offense, and that's exactly what happened. He gave up six earned runs only went four innings. Hopefully you're listening to your boy Speeds the spitting Status sticition tonight, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you to God's on his truth. This is literally the worst slate I
have seen all year. At night. They talked about it on the DFS Lineup lock Show. There's only five games here at night, and with tornado warnings in Kansas City, it is very skeptical. I would not be playing any Royals or any Yankees tonight because it does not look like that game is going to go off emergency tornado watch in that Kansas City area. Here's the one game
where I think you can find a stud picture. I think you need to look to Atlanta, and tonight on FanDuel you have nine hundred from Marcus Stroman or Julio Tehran at eight two hundred. I'm gonna tell you something, this eight run total is the lowest total of the night. I don't like these other pictures. I'm not going h hn Ryu. I'm not going Sonny Gray. Some of these guys have never been heard about. Hect of Alaska as making his debut out of the Mexican League, of all places.
If there's one guy I'm gonna go with, it's gonna be Marcus Stroman at hundred. Okay. Also part of that is because of the news I just told you Freddie Freeman is gonna be out of this lineup for a long time, in including tonight. So this is the first game they're playing without Fetdie Freeman, you know. And now you've got basically Matt Kemp and that's about it in that lineup that you gotta worry about. So I like
Marcus Stroman tonight for ninety two hundred. I gotta tell you the truth, though, there is one reason that I still might not like even one of the people in that game, and it is the new ballpark down there in Atlanta. Sun Trust Park is a new ballpark. This is the first year they're playing there in Atlanta. And I was going back and forth on Twitter with my homegirl, Jessica klein Schmidt. Not to PENGA can follow her on Twitter.
She has great information all the time about ballpark factors, and so I was asking her, you know, what's the deal with this new ballpark is it's gonna play for hitters. It's gonna play for pictures, you know. And so far it is a relatively small sample size, but this new Atlanta ballpark is really playing like the old launching pad days of the Atlanta Fulton County Coliseum. Okay, this is not you know, Turner Park was a kind of you know, down the middle of the road, you know, fair to
both hitters and pitchers. But this year, right now, this new ballpark, sun Trust is so pro hitter. Let me tell you something, As of last week, the Atlanta Braves had a five point six one home e r A. That is the worst in the majors. Okay, that is almost a third of a run higher than even the Rockies at Corpse Field. That five point three one earned runs per nine. Okay. Now, obviously they've only played about twenty home games so far. It's a small sample size.
But you might say that. But here's the other factor. It hasn't even get gotten hot yet in the summertime in the deep South down in Atlanta, you know the ball is gonna fly even more so, this makes me think that that ballpark is an issue and is very pro hitter. Too bad yet again, that Freddie Freeman, it
looks like it's gonna miss the next three months. Perfect example is tonight's starter and this I want to get out there before you can make this potentially erroneous suggests or selection in your DFS lineups to nine Julio Tehran. They're ace in home starts so far this year. His e r A is eight point one four. On the road, his e r A is zero point one eight. And the same kind of difference you see in like opponent batting average against Babi a Caper, nine walks. All the
other inputs are the same. The difference really is the ballpark. It makes me think. And all five of the home runs that Tehran has given up so far this year have come in Atlanta, in SunTrust Park. So it makes me think that one Tehran might be only a road play. And even though I mentioned him before at eighty six eight two hundred, tonight, I'm going the other way. I'm going Marcus Stroman because Marcus Stroman gets groundballs. He's a
groundball pitcher. No, Freddie Freeman, give me Marcus Stroman for nine two hundred. This is even built. You know. Chipper Jones, great brave of the nineties and the odds, He said the first time he went into that stadium, the new sun Truck Trust Park, he went in and he said he felt the wind tunnels and kind of like the jet streams going out into the alleys, saying he wished that he could still hit there. So this is something
to keep an eye on. You know, I don't think you're rostering some of these other starters on the Atlanta braves, you know, the r A Dickies and the bar Tolo get a whiff of my bar Tolo Cologns and the other kind of like older starters that the Braves have stocked up on in this first year in their new ballpark. But I think keep an eye on this if you own Julio Tehran. Okay, he has to look at his home road splits. He has pitched very very well, has only given up runs in one of his road starts
all season long. But an e r A of over eight at sun Trust Park. That's enough for me to fade him tonight and use Marcus Stroman as the only picture I want any part of. But this is what we do here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. There's so many ways that we hook you up. Okay, and let me tell you something.

We talk playoffs with my man Donnie Burns, the love doctor and the basketball correspondent. Hey, Donnie, Tony said that they let you talk on this show, but that's when people are supposed to go get their breaks and go to the bathroom or something like that. Prove them wrong, Donnie Burns.
Next segment, this is your time to prove them wrong. Give him that straight fire as we have a little rock him coming out of break. Come on back, Me and Donnie Burns breaking down the NBA playoffs and so many other stories. Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and of course shout out to our Sports Byline affiliates around the country and the American
Forces Radio Network around the world. Listening to Fantasy Freestyle with your boy, Yeah yeah, yeah, you know what it is. It sh your boy. Dane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician, always repping the b X here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Lean back with my man Donnie Burns on the ones and twos, keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. Let's get into the cipher here on the Fantasy Freestyle, a couple of news
and notes around the NFL. You know, we never stopped talking NFL twelve months a year here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. The Pittsburg Steelers have made a move that if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle and you were listening in the fall during the football season, you know one of the guys that I really loved that I was rooting for, a kind of vouching for, cheering for with Steelers tight end Ladarius Green. But he had a slew of injuries his ankle, he had a repeating issue
with concussions. And today the Steelers have released tight end Ladarius Green. So I hope he lands on his feet and more importantly, that he stays healthy. Also, the Los Angeles Rams have announced that their stadium deal is has been delayed until the year two thousand and twenty. They'll finally be able to see maybe Jared Goff by that time, still will be the quarterback or Todd Gurley and the
Rams in their own stadium. That won't happen until the year. Coincidentally, that's the same year that the Raiders are now set to move into their new stadium in Las Vegas. And another note, and I mentioned yesterday, but Gisele Bunching, you know, Tom Brady's wife, said in an interview that her husband Brady has had multiple concussions that nobody talks about, and that he was dealing with a concussion for a portion
of last year. And that might be getting some people into a little bit of hot water because us uh, the Pats never had Tom Brady on the injury report for that. And remember, you know, the Patriots are notorious for, you know, being a little bit tight lipped when it comes to their injuries, almost like an NHL team, right, like upper body, lower body, So that could be interesting. You know, Brady says he's gonna play until he's forty five or fifty, not if he starts getting those concussions.
So we shall see. But we move on though. Interesting night here tonight because this is the first time in a while we do not have an NBA playoff game to discuss. But we do have a game that happened last night. So I want to bring in my man to love, Dr Donnie Burns here on the Fantasy Freestyle as always, And Donnie, I gotta tell you. Calves win Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals in Boston. You know, I don't know if the words steel game one is really the way we should talk about it. They were
four point favorites. They win one oh seven to one on one, excuse me, one seventeen to one oh four, And I gotta tell you the truth, it was not even that close. Lebron James doing Lebron James things. I gotta tell you a couple of things. One, I think the Celtics actually looked tired. They looked as though they went through a you know, a ringer of a seven game series against the Wizards, and the Calves looked like they were coming off of eight days of rest. Okay,
especially in that first half, Lebron looked fresh. He would hit that you know, they're cuts, which is so much sharper. Lebron finishes with thirty eight points, nine and seven. But what I want to tell you there was a play about midway through the second quarter where Lebron James is literally going for a loose ball on his hands and knees, crawling slapping it back in. Brown's chasing it down on his hands and knees, and was just showing more urgency,
more fire, more enthusiasm than anybody on Boston. Also, who is going to guard Lebron in this series? I mean I saw Marcus Smart have a shot at him. They put Kelly Olynok on him for a few possessions, and Lebron literally was laughing at the Boston bench literally was like joking at the top after you cross uh half court, being like, all right, we're gonna do this again. Clear out for me. The best guy that I saw checking Lebron was actually the rookie at a cow, Jalen Brown.
But I don't think he's gonna get all that many minutes. Kevin Love also came to play thirty two and twelve when six of nine from three point land. And I'm telling you, if the Calves are playing like this, uh, we are going to see a battle of undefeated teams in the NBA Finals. Done. What was your biggest takeaways from Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah, we'll shout out to our Boston native Tony Sencada, a good friend of mine, had his Boston Celtics trounced by like
seventy boo the fire. I see what it is and look at the first of all, big shout out to me, species fitting statistician giving you the format to respond to a guy like Tony Sencada. After I gotta tell you, Donny, he eviscerated you at the end of DFS lineup lock. But bring those points back, bring those points back? Why is uh why the cat's gonna roll here? Yeah, So
here's the thing. Before the series started, I kind of figured the Seeds would probably go with the combination of Marcus Smart and Jalen Brown, maybe even a little Jay Crowder in there. Although that last game during the regular season, jay Crowder couldn't really guard them. They lost by twenty three, So I figured Jalen Brown would have a good, the best shot at least to guarding him. But I mean, this series is essentially over and calling it I said, I said, sweet, So you know, I hear you. I
could see it. That first game home game, you lose by that much, that's a that's a you don't think they were just tired man coming off the seven game series. It's not gonna get any better that the Calves played eight games in thirty three days. As if. It's almost as if the Celtics would have been better off being the two seed and having the Caves be the one seed, right, because they were not going to be up for the
cat and ready. But if this was like the first two games were in Cleveland, then you have the shot of, like, oh, game three, coming back home, maybe then they get one. Yeah, well, it seemed like it was an ego thing for the Celtics at the end of the year. They really wanted that that one. They were like, they were saying, if
they could flip the switch exactly. And here's the thing, Brad Stephens, I don't know if you saw the interview at the end of the game, but he was talking about, hey, Lebron looks better, but he did when I came into this league. That's a scary thing. It is that we're saying this is peak don't want your coach, saying that this might be Peake Lebron don't want your coach thing. This is absolutely true. Yo. Let me let me let
me real quick touch on this other series. The Western Conference Finals, because you know I'm not going to talk to you again. Okay, fine, you think so it's over like over is in Spurs have no chance of winning the series, or over like this is gonna be a four nothing sweep. This could be another sweep to like we talked about it. Steph Curry is the engine right now, They're up. It's over. No, I hear you. But here's what I would say. Remember what I just said about
the Celtics. I think the Spurs, though, are in a position sin where listen, they got embarrassed in Game two, losing by thirty six. They go back home, they have Popovich, Kauai has six days off and he's probably gonna, you know, play in Game three at home. If the Spurs are going to get one Saturday night, Game three in San Antonio would be the one. Right. Here's the thing that I've never seen Pops so kind of fire in a not a good way. I don't know how he coaches
in that sense. I've never seen him like that. Therefore, I can't go either way with that. Because I've never seen him coach like this, I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing. Because he knows how the story is gonna end. Kauai is not gonna be a percent. So oh absolutely, But then again, really is anybody a hundred percent at this stage of the season. He's not hurt. I guess not. I guess not. That's true.
But remember, one of the reasons we have no game to talk about tonight is because they stretch out this NBA schedule over the over the team, you know, for for T N T and ESPN. And also, you know, it's interesting how on a random Thursday night in February they don't care about, you know, playing four games and five nights and back to backs, but not in the
playoffs they don't. It's a completely different schedule. And we asked you on the poll question today on fn T s Y Radio and at spitting speeds, why do you think is the main reason the playoffs do this? Is it because they care about players safety and health and rest or is it to get all that TV money? And right now eighties six percent of you say that it is a business and the focus is on the
TV money. But let me tell you this, Donny, do you remember when I had my man tomic on the sleepless in America and he had all those stats, all right, but check this out, my man. He sent me he sent me a story as a follow up to it that I got to talk about real quick here. Um. He sent me stats that in the eighties, the home team, uh, the home court advantage in the NBA was six percent. Home teams won six percent and the margin of arrow
was five point eight points. In the nineties it dropped down to and now it is that it's all time low. It's an all time low this season of you know, the home court advantage. And there are people speculating as to why you are not going to be ready for this reason, Donny Burns, Well, I would figure it's for super teams, but I'm sure that's not there. It's connected to the sleep thing. It's connected to the sleep thing. Okay, it's connected to the sleep issue that we were talking about.
And remember road teams, maybe they go out and party a little bit, you know how road teams, You know how there's groupies in every NBA city. This article is claiming that it is the quote unquote tinder ization of the NBA. Now, with the proliferation of the Tinder app, there is anonymous NBA g MS and players in the league, saying that it is true because road players don't have to invest that much time or energy to do their dirt and have their business get done while they're on
the road. All they gotta do is swipe right. Literally. A GM says that it's the tinder ization of the NBA. With the dating app, there's no need for the players to go to the club all night anymore. A former All Star UM who also wants to remain a nominous it says it's absolutely true that you get at least two hours of sleeping now more getting laid on the road versus ten years ago, saying, no schmoozing, no going out to the club, no having to get something to
eat after the club and before go into the hotel. Now, because of Tinder, they're skipping all those steps and at the back side, they're getting extra sleep. So what do you think about that, Donny, that's actually surprising. Like I said, I thought that answer was gonna be we put the fun and functional sports radio here, you know how we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. But remember, I was
surprised to see all the stats backing up. You know the impact of sleep so it stands to reason that if you're able to do this in a little bit of a quicker fashion, you know, and and and do what you gotta do. Um, maybe you're getting more sleep and you're and you're ready to roll on the road, thus decreasing the home field advantage. What I will say is, whether he's at home or on the road, Isaiah Thomas
needs some help. He got seventeen points in tennissists. But you know, we've been talking about who would be that second scorer, right, We've talked about you know, it's Avie Bradley showed up one game, you know, Kelly olynnok out of nowhere. I think we've been looking for Jake Crowder to do his thing. So we'll see if in game two someone can step up and help Isaiah Thomas, because it looks like he might even be being guarded by Lebron James at times, So that's crazy. Um, could it
be next year, Marquel Folks? Or could they trade that pick for a second win scorer, a guy like I don't know, Jimmy Butler, perhaps a guy like, oh, I don't know, Paul George. Perhaps we shall see if the Celtics get that second score. But Donny Burns is telling you this series is over. Down go of the Celtics.
When we come back, we gonna keep it going. Put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio Part two of Kyle Turley and Chasing the Strains, Marijuana advocacy, and a whole lot more Here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, your boy Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician holding you down on us Summer Thursday. It's a lot Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle Here on the
Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Is your boy Dane Martinez holding you down on a Thursday night live at Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four right here in Midtown Manhattan, Manhattan. Come on over, I'll buy you a drink, like t Pain buying you a drink. I got my boy Donnie
Burns with me on the ones in two. You know, Donnie Burns eight six say that the reason that we have uh, you know, the stretched out playoff uh schedule is because of TV money, you know, just trying to get as many games as possible on prime time on t N T on ESPN over the weekend, which is why you have the Western Conference finals that had game to what they have game two on Tuesday and they're
not playing again until Saturday. Hey, Donny, you think that's all money, You think that's all driven by TV money. It's it's all money, and it's all a lot of opinions to you, like you hear most of the Oh, the two teams that are gonna be in the finals are the Calves and the Warriors. We don't like that. Well, people always have opinions. There's in the Stanley cupp Is probably gonna be the Predators and the Senators, and no one wants that, you know what I mean. So it's
always gonna be opinionated. Yet for the money, but they gotta do it. So no, I hear you, I hear you. Check it out. Here's what we're gonna do as we put the fund and functional Sports Radio. One of the things I've been talking about for a while, as you know if you listen to the show a lot, is this idea of pain management in the NFL. We talked about the prescription pain kills, pain pills, and we talked about marijuana advocacy. Well, Kyle Turley is among those. Remember
I talked about Jake Plummer. We had Eugene Monroe and others that are actually doing advocacy, and Kyle Turley is among them. Yesterday I told you about how you know testimonials from his wife, from his parents, from his parents about how you know what these psychoactive pharmaceutical chemicals did to him, these fits of rage and anger and not really being the human that he was, and the change
that happened to him with marijuana. Well, today, in part two, what I want to tell you about is what they did is they went to the Harvard first ever Cannabis conference that was being put on by the Harvard Med School. Okay, and Kyle Turley had an opportunity to interview a scientist who isolated this this chemical or not a chemical drug called a G two which is part of marijuana. And he has built a strain that saw that the cannabiroids
were so helpful to the brain. Um but yet they're being stone walled for being able to do clinical trials on it. I think it is very interesting, Donnie Burns, if we have that, can we play right now? This is a portion of the interview again from Vice Sports Kyle Turley, a three part series called chasing the strains. This him interviewing a UM. You know, a clinical physician who is running trials on the impact on the brain that marijuana can have as a as a medicine, as help.
Let's hear something injury better than cannabis. Quite a few years ago we showed in animals. For some peculiar reasons, it's a little bit difficult to do it. Experiment with a human to give him a uh something on the head and set let's see what it works. We call the practice. Yeah, we caused relatively light damage to the brain of mice and uh we administer them one of the indigenous cannabinoids, one of those compounds that we produced ourselves to a G and we found that we could
reduce by the damage that was done. And it was published in the major journal of Science of Nature, so it's not unavailable. It's there. So here we have strong data showing that the cannabis type compound helps. Once we showed quite a few years ago the two A G helps. It should have been done in humans in a clinical trial, and yet to A G has never been administered to a human. Chances saw that concussions can be treated with the two a G, which is a cannabis that we produce.
It's not a clown that people can say, who knows why the effects of the This is something that we produce. You know, we know it's not toxic. It has never never been administered to a human. Uh uh. So there you have it. There you have it, like and they're at a loss for words of like why not follow through at least with the research, at least with the
clinical trials. I thought there was two very important things they're One is that they said it has been proven to reduce the damage by fifty of things that could happen like concussions to the brain. The other thing that I thought was very interesting that the doctor said about this isolated to a G, is this idea that this is published in major journals. So when the NFL and Roger Goodell says that they are waiting for the medical community or waiting for science, no they're not. The science
is there. They are just scared. They just are gonna use this as a negotiating ploy with the new collective bargaining agreement. As I have said in part two. You know, they go on to also talk about other clinicians that are trying to form a database to actually isolate the right strains which would have the right effects you know, on the brain. There is actual research. This is not just as Roger Goodell flippantly said, you know at the drafty guys gonna smoke that's bad for you. They don't
actually understand and the research is there. He also then visited Kyle Turley did with Todd Morenovitch, former Raiders quarterback, and his father, Marv Morenovitch, who was an offensive lineman back in the sixties and seventies. The father, Papa Momoranovitch, now has dementia, but Todd Morenovitch, who's also having some early ct s um symptoms, they are now using cannabinoid oils and you can see the father when he does it for the first time, literally noticing a different effect.
So you know, we're gonna keep talking about this here on the Fantasy Freestyle because you know, not only do we give you what you need to win your leagues and win that cash, but we keep you up on what's really good here. And uh, I encourage everybody to uh tune in tomorrow or Monday when we do part three, where actually Cal Turly talks with a lot of former NFL players that are going through the same struggles, the same trials and tribulations that he described as its family
described in Part one. I think this is very important for people to understand. So we are gonna keep on talking about it here on the Fantasy Freestyle. But as we move on and we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio, Donna, you remember a couple of weeks ago when I told you that, uh, there was a m m A match, a women's mm A match in Japan that was gonna be going on with a twelve year
old girl. Do you remember that too? All Right, So that's happening this weekend this weekend, the twentieth at Deep Jewel sixteen in Tokyo, Okay, And I gotta tell you it's Momo Shi Musu, the twelve year old against Momoko Yamazaki. But apparently there is no outrage whatsoever about this in Japan, and in fact, it's actually commonplace. A market managing partner of the kind of the league out there, you know what would be The UFC says there is no kind
of backlash, that it's been done before. Their fans are used to seeing kids doing kickpoxing and beating adults. If anything, there's more of an expectation that she's the next big thing. They actually appreciate the concern from the US because no one's concerned in Japan. They're just seeing her as kind of the next big thing. This girl, the twelve year old. Remember her name is Momo. She started training at three years old. She had two older brothers who fought an
mm A and this girl get this done. She has already had about a hundred fights in jiu jitsu and karate. She's twelve years old. Her manager and I'm reading from a piece right now on Bleacher Report, her manager actually says, are you ready for this? Of course, there's always a danger.
You can ever say it's a hundred percent safe, right, But if we're talking about the danger of brain injuries in that sense, I personally think kids football, kids soccer, and even playground activities can cause more danger of getting hit to the head. So she's kind of throwing it right back in the United States face being like, ah, you do the same thing, which I think is interesting.
And also next week on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna be also talking about um youth soccer in this with brain injuries as well because of all that they might outlaw the header in youth soccer. We're gonna be talking about that next week as well. But also this girl, Momo, she goes to a gym in Japan where like what they do is focus. It's a special gym focusing on like prodigies. There's a couple of teenagers that are also playing,
you know, and fighting. Nineteen year old Nayuki in she's already ten and oh and she signed for the with the UFC. She's nineteen years old. Another twenty two year old in that gym. Her name is missy Uku. Missy Uku, you know, the oldest sister. She made her pro debut at sixteen and is already twelve and four in the UFC. There's also an eighteen year old named Yukari Yamaguchi, and you know, I probably butchered that name. She's already want to know. So this is not this is kind of commonplace.
They just see child prodigies in the same way we would see like basketball prodigies or soccer prodigies. Does the does the fact that they think it's kind of the same, that they're trying to train them in real ways be safe with them and make a comparison to like, you know, the potential dangers of American football. Does that hold any water with you? Don Are you still outraged at the sheer fact of a twelve year old fighting a twenty
four year old? I mean, I'm not too outraged. Like once you hear, customs are different everywhere, So yes, we can voice our concern, but we can't change anything. We're not gonna change their customs if that's what they believe. They believe that, So I mean, I'm kind of all in on it. I get all in, but I get where they're coming from. All right, So here's the critical question though. This thing is happening Saturday night, Deep Jewels sixteen.
So who you got. You got the twelve year old, you got momo, or you're riding with the twenty four year old. I'm taking the twelve year old. I'm taking the twelve year old. I'm riding with mom. This is is her first U like ufc mm A fight, but they said she's had a hundred fights in jiu jitsu and karate already. I'll take the experience. I'll take two year old. All right, you need to put it on our board. Donny, you need to put it on a board. Can you at least give me Can you give me like odds
or something. I'm taking a twelve year old girl. Give me, give me two to one odds. Come on, give me two to one odds on a beer here in Rock and Riley. Al Right, so when we hear Monday, when we're here Monday, I'm gonna give you the results when we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio, we'll see how we do. All right, but check it out. One thing I do want to do before I lose you, because I know I got my boy Chris Bovona with me on Fridays, and I know you know you're also
an urban kid. You're a hip hop guy. We have Damian Lillard. Damian Lillard is ready to rock over this Drake Blue smoke beat. So here's what I want to do, Donnie. What I want to do is play a little bit of this because Dame Lillard is actually known as one of the best rappers in the NBA anyway. So what I want to do is play a little bit of this. We'll have a quick break and then as we come back to close the show, we'll break it down. Okay,
how does that sound, Donnie? So while as we play, when we play this, a little bit of Dame Dollar, Damian Lillard rapping over that drake. Uh smoke beat. Let's uh, let's hear what he's got. Ye ye, get my line. I'm a mexicoke proper resort in the Bodlet's reflect on my life by the ocean. Damn, it was worth it the summer. Get up, my brother, my treasure. Don't real loving our distrussing me and c platt. Don't y'all get ready for destruction. I don't be tripping. I say what
I'm thinking. I'm sticking in there, whooping and wrapping. They tell me to stop, but then I must don't like that. They wanna resent me for ray. I brought the synergy back, y'all. Jimmy, I live with the energy, says I'll be back ringing. My team. Won't be stacked honey on the daisy and wasn't born in that all right. I gotta tell you the truth. I gotta tell you the truth, Donnie. I know you loved yourself some lonzo ball. I gotta tell
you the truth. I'm riding with Dame Dollar. I think Dame has been the best lyricty we have heard, whether it be Levy on Bell, whether it be a Lonzo ball because all those other guys they're doing like that trap music and you don't even you know it's really it's a lot slower. Dame is fitting actual lyrics. You know, he's got an actual rhyme scheme and he's packing the bars. I think with better lyricism. What do you think, Donnie, His lyricism is better. But if you're gonna I'm kind
of like a beat guy. I'm an old school guy. Maybe I need to be saying something. I would say Levan sounds a little bit better. But wait, wait, first of all, wait a second. A Lonzo and Dame Lillard were wrapping over the same beat, So what are we talking about here? U. I guess I would take Dame in that regards, but I think Levan and he sounds better. You think Van sounds better. I will remember he's got a full album Lean and he had a video for that track Machine that came out. So you know we're
gonna keep it right. And you know what else, Donnie Burns, we gotta check in on you gotta do me a favor next time. You see the night Owl, Okay, next time you see the night Owl JP. What we need to do is ask him. We need to find out if that prom took place. This is prom season, right it is. We need to find out if Levian Bell and that young lady Ava Tarantino, uh, if they went on the prom, if that happened. What we gotta do
is get our boy, the night Owl JP. We need to get them like tweeting at Ava Tarantino or Levana. We gotta find out if that prom actually took place and if Levian Bell actually went. But I gotta tell you the truth, my man. I I'm riding with Dame Dollar. I think that was the best track that I've heard out of you know, out of NBA players so far this season. Iman Chumpert, you my friend are up next.
When we come back here after the break, we're gonna tie a nice neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle here from Studio thirty four and Rock and Riley's wish your boy Dame Martinez holding you down? You know, a guy named Dane is going to support
a guy who rhymes by Dame. Right, That's that's that's how we do but come on back, Donnie Burns and I will close out the Thursday edition of the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and of course to all our sports byline affiliates around the country and the American Forces Radio Network for the service men and women around the world. Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Fantasy Freestyle. You know what it is, This
Fantasy Freestyle back on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I was to be closed after Thursday edition. I want to catch you up on these polls of you continue to agree with Donnie Burns and myself that this NBA playoff schedule is all about the money. Scent of you saying it is about getting that TV money, and only four percent say it has anything to do with player safety or allowing players to get that rest. I also want to tell you update you on a couple of scores
right now. In the bottom of the second the Twins are up on the Rockies in game two of an
inter league doubleheader. One nothing in that one. And also I told you about SunTrust Field, and I told you that Julio Tehron at home was getting lit up, but that he's a great play on the road while Julio Tehran is going at home and right now the Toronto Blue Jays already up on Julio Tehran and the Atlanta Braves three nothing them scoring three runs in the first inning right off of Julio Tehran at Atlanta and SunTrust Park, exactly the way I told you why you needed to
fade Tehran and start Marcus Stroman. If anybody in tonight in DFS, that's why I help you win your leagues and win that cash. Good show though, today, Donnie Burns man a big Thursday.
