From the King of Sports Books comes the Key sports podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Joanna's Papas and Olivia Arland Decker. Welcome to Unleashed from bet MGM, the King of Sports Books and Janice. What a weekend for New York sports. The Giants and Jets both one and overtime and avoid going oh and four. It's the first time both teams have won on the same day in nearly two years. That is absolutely wild and then the Yankees one on a walk off single to clinch
a wild card spot. So your honest did you forget how to celebrate properly? Because I can teach you, as a packer and Chiefs fan what it's like to just win and celebrate. Right. It's been a long time, even with the Yankees, it's been a long time. So let's go Yankees, and yes, congratulations to the Giants and Jets. What a weekend from New York. We needed it. Yeah, I think you did. I think you personally needed it.
But it's such a great time of the year in sports where we kind of get this buffet of options, right. The NFL and college football are in full swing. NBA and NHL seasons begins soon. That's just a few weeks away, and we've got a huge heavyweight boxing match this weekend, Fury of the Wilder Saturday Night in Vegas. I'll be there. I'll be ringside with our bed MGM family. I can't wait to attend my first fight, and maybe more importantly, I'm really excited to scan the crowd for big celebs.
Who do you think I'm gonna see? Oh? Man, everybody could be there. Who knows? It's it's a I mean, this is this is the thing about boxing that really annoys me. I mean, we've been waiting for this fight for so long. We've been we always wait for fight, So I mean it could be every celebrity from Los Angeles flies in. Yeah, they got nothing to do, Hollywood shut down. There was just a big strike, so who knows they could all be there. Might have been seen
Jack Paul. You know what? That does nothing for me? Like to me, he could walk in a room and I'd barely recognize him. I'm serious. Yeah, I hear you. I know I'm the minority there, but I'm talking more like what real housewives are going to be there. I'm kidding. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay, we have the perfect guest to help us preview this fight. He's credited with pulling off what maybe the greatest upset in sports history. One of the men who once held the belt, former undisputed
heavyweight champ Buster Douglas, joins the show. I can't wait to pick his brain and of course have some fun with them now. Honest, I wasn't born in when he upset Mike Tyson. Do you remember where you were when this happened. Yeah, I was full adult when this happened. That's the age difference between me and you. Like, I was in uh, what was it, eighth grade or ninth grade? I remember it was. Yeah, I remember where I was for the O J trial. I remember where I was
for this. This was That's how big this moment was. Mike Tyson was absolutely indestructible at that point. Nobody and their mother gave Buster Douglas a chance to win, and when he when he won, like, it was one of those things where everyone was calling everyone. There was no internet then, believe it. I'm from a time before the Internet, and so the news didn't spread as quick and you
had to find out from a friend. And plus it was in Tokyo, so it wasn't televised, you couldn't watch it, and so it kind of trickled out slowly and everyone was in shock. Everyone just kind of walked outside and looked around, like does anything make sense? Everyone just locked out their door and looked around and waited to tell their neighbor the news, Like what did you have to wait for the nightly news that night to find out? Yeah? Yeah, that was back when local news was big. Trucky Scarborough
was the biggest star in New York City. Okay, you know I have so many more questions to a sky about the late eighties and early nineties. We'll get to that later. Plus, at the end of the show, we're going to cut right to the chase and give you great betting insight for this weekend Slate with Peter Andrew from bet MGM. And you know we're gonna reveal who lost our punishment picks and who has to read the
outro written for them by the winner. I've lost the last three, honest, I'm eager for a little redemption because I think my mother will ground me if I read your crass language on air one more time and my mom would say crass. Let me tell you right now, Olivia, this is just a fluke. Don't get used to it, Okay, looking forward to it. You know, one person who didn't win this week was our bad Beat of the Week. It's our man, Aaron Bailey, Bad Beat all the Week.
He got eight of nine in a one game parlay Bangles and Jags Thursday Night Football. The one that he didn't get was Jamaar Chase to score any time, which seemed like a good bet. Chase got two touchdowns the week before or it is obviously a favorite of Joe Burrows. They went from LSU too since you together, so tough luck my man Aaron getting eight of your nine. That sucks. That's so close, but you actually did win here because
listen to this. He only bet ten bucks on this whole part way and bet MGM is going to give him a hundred for submitting is bad beat. So look, as long as Twitter doesn't go down, make sure you submit your bad beat of the week to at bet MGM and you two can win one dollars at bet MGM will announce it on the show. Not a bad pay day from my man Aaron, not at all, not at all. Congrats Aaron. I like it. You know now it's our favorite segment of the show. Janice, I love
this part. It's time for us to go off on one topic we feel passionately about this week. Be honest, let's unleash. It's time. Okay, I want to go first this week. I mentioned earlier, things are really shaping up in college football and we're going into week six in a twelve game season, which is crazy. So I know you follow the NFL a little bit closer than college football, and that's very East Coast of you, honest, So let
me fill you in my alma mater. The University of Georgia looks like the best team in the country and they're still number two in the national rankings behind Alabama, which is infuriating. So let me spell this out why this is so crazy. They're five and o, which other teams in the country are too. But Georgia has two top five wins, and you know, in college football it's all about how you win because there's a committee who seeds everyone for the playoff, and it really is kind
of opinion based. They'll have numbers back up their opinion. But you've got to win big. You got to run up the score, right even when you don't have to, because you have to have these statement wins. Well, they opened the season against number three Clemson, Clemson who everyone touts every preseason. They held them to just a field goal.
And then last weekend they had ESPN game Day their home game, a lot of pomp and circumstance, and they shut out number eight Arkansas, who everyone was saying, is this blossoming giant in the SEC? Arkansas was kind of becoming the sweetheart of the SEC. Well, Georgia one thirty seven to zero without their starting quarterback. Honest, look at this. Alabama has faced zero top ten teams. The best they got was Miami week one in Florida, who went on
to lose to Kentucky this weekend. They've also allowed two touchdowns from both Mercer Do you even know where Mercer is? Jannice? No? I know Ron Merson the basketball player, and that's about it, Okay, Mercers in Atlanta in Southern miss Currently, they have no top ten teams on their remaining schedule, so that means unless one of their future opponents really shoots up there, they're not going to beat a top ten team all
season and you just watch. They're still going to be number one the a people week after week while Georgia is putting together this monster resume with stiffer competition. I mean, do you get it? How fresh reading that is? It does sound frustrating to me, and so does this college football system. It's stupid, you know, it is kind of stupid. That's why they're going to expand the playoff and there's gonna be a lot of change to college football. We have touched on it in this show. And I know
you into American University. I'm pretty sure they don't even have a football team. So are you ready to become an honorary Georgia Bulldogs fan for the rest of the season. I am, and I have to correct you. It's the American University, like it, it's the Ohio State. Yeah, we don't have a football team. It was a small school of five thousand. So I am a free agent and you know I am now a Georgia Bulldog and I am also a Toronto Raptor. Yes, well, we need national
advocates because everyone is blinded by the hound's tooth of Alabama. Okay, honest I feel better now it's your turn. Yeah, and you're justified, Olivia. You know that that's this is one time again where heart and head they aligned. So I'm with you girl, I'm with you girl. Let's go Georgia. Yeah, all right out. Time to talk about something that nobody has talked about. It's on nobody's mind. Urban Meyer, my
man who I would love to grab a beer with. Butter, I'd love to meet you down in Jacksonville and hit a bar and get some lap dances together. Give the guy a break, man. I mean, we live in such an era of snitches. I mean, he's Urban Meyer. He's been a cocky asshole his whole life. This is not shocking. He went out and he unwinded a little bit. Maybe that's when he gets his best thinking done when he goes to his restaurant. He eats a nice fat steak and he gets a lap dance from a twenty five
year old. Big deal. It's got nothing to do with their football, even though they are alling four. If they were four and oh right, he I think he would still get in trouble for this. That's why I don't like this. This is just gossipy news. He's a football coach. He's not a politician, he's not a religious leader. Leave him alone, and can people please stop filming everything. Let the guy get a lap dance, big deal. It's between him and his wife and that's it. I mean, think
about it. JFK used to have hooker pool parties at the White House. Okay, that's a known fact. But he also saved the world from a nuclear war by having back channel negotiations with CRUs Jeff with the Cuban missile crisis. So you know, if JFK was around now, he would have got canceled and maybe the world would be blown up. I mean, just leave it alone. I mean, Martin Luther King used to cheat on his wife too, but he was the greatest civil rights leader this country has ever known.
So this is canceled culture. To me, this is irrelevant. It's got nothing to do with football. You know, he's got a rookie quarterback they're rowing for. He will figure it out. He will turn it around in his second year or third year. If he's not fired for this. I don't know what's going on, but this is what you call bullshit. Yeah, I think the young woman at
the bar was just giving him some unnecessary roughness. Yeah, you know, or maybe listen, maybe she is a football savant like you, and she was giving him a few tips and the bars very loud. You know how bars can be right, So maybe they just had to get very close so he could hear her. I bet that was it, you know what, You're right, And I think she had like a Hitten playbook or something in the back pocket of her jeans. Maybe that was it might have been. No, look, this is this is my take
on this. I don't feel like we should politicize or glamorize athletes or coaches and make them this moral compass. I've thought that for a long time, Like whatever the hot topic of the day. I don't feel like we need to demand athletes and coaches regardless. If they are role models, if kids wear their jerseys, that's great. They are entertainers. We pay money to watch them entertained. They don't need to be our moral compass. If you want a moral compass, read philosophy, go to church. Don't look
at urban Meyer for it's right and what's wrong. I just I don't think that his marriage is any of our business. And I cannot believe reporters at an actual press conference asked if he apologized to his family. That has nothing to do with football, that has nothing to do with us. We don't know their marriage. Plenty of people have different types of marriages, and his wife has been liking tweets that have been having fun with this
whole thing. So I I have a hard time believing that the family is very distraught over him kind of canoe to ling with a young woman at a bar. Another thing, these camera phones everywhere. You know he's not doing things that other people are not. Again, doesn't make it right or wrong, but I think in general, if he's being reprimanded at all, it's kind of like, dude, be smarter, don't be in public. There are tons of people. He was taking post pictures with people, so I think
that's interesting. One thing that does look bad from a team perspective is he didn't fly home with the team. That happens a lot, you know in sports if you do have a bye week and off week and people end up going to do so with their family or whatever. But not a good look that. Then he stayed in Columbus. He stayed in Ohio and did that. But I have a friend on the team. I texted him, what's the vibe. They don't care, They're fine this. You better believe his
players are not upset at his moral judgment over this. Yeah, I mean it's it's really like people gotta stop film, you know. It's it's it's unfortunate because in comedy, you know, Dave Chappelle takes everyone's cell phone before he does any show, and it's like, people just stop recording and live your life. I mean, like, you know, stop making movies out of everything.
Can you imagine if Lawrence Taylor like had to deal with people having cameras while he was you know, drinking in between games and and you know, occasionally smoking a little crack rock. Big deal. You know, he still did his job on the football field and is the best defensive player of all time. We got to stop this puritanical purge and left football players be football players. It's a stressful job, Jesus. That all being said, if it was my husband or my dad, I'd belivid. So again,
this isn't my take on how we behaved. He behaved poorly, and it's embarrassing and it's a bad look. That being said, I don't think that's the media's business. I don't think that's anything to do with football the way he's coaching or his team. And he has a really spotty track record as is, so this is not the first blooper in his reel. Let's just say, yeah, well listen, Kevin Harland, let's get a beer together. Man. Were at least we're in the same age bracket, so I'll make sure there's
no cell phones. Yeah, you're gonna be bored to death if you go get a beer with my dad. It's not gonna be like going to get a beer Urban Meyer. Let me tell you something. He's my favorite announcer, and I've said that many times, and I mean it. It would not be boring. I would love to pick his brain about sports yea, and also about his daughter. How did she become so talented and great? Oh see, now you're the second up to me because you know you lost punishment picks and you know I'm right in your
outro and you want me to be kind. But let's move on and get to this weekend's fight, and let's bring in someone who knows what they're talking about. A former heavyweight champ Buster Douglas has come up now, let's bringing our guest. He's a former heavyweight champion of the world and pulled off one of the greatest upsets of all time when he knocked out and undefeated Mike Tyson in James Buster Douglas is here. Buster thinks, so much for joining the show. How are you a good time?
Good good? You know, I want to just take you back to that moment. I know you've been asked every question under the sun about that fight, but it was your second shot at the title, the second chance. First time was against Tony Tucker, and you were actually given more of a chance in that fight, not so much the second time around against Tyson. Do you think that helped you? We look at that chip on the shoulder
a lot in sports. Did that help? I think the motivation was definitely there because you said I had a little better appreciate you for it at to have him on the first title shot, and I was really excited about it and more determined than ever to succeed Buster. I was, you know that was I mean, that fight shocked the world. I remember I got a call. I remember where I was for that. I remember where I was for the O J Verke I mean that was
big news when I was in high school. You were you were on a six fight wind streak, though, I mean you were looking the best you ever looked. Everyone and the media was talking about how this was gonna be just another tune up fight for Tyson. But do you think Tyson knew that he had his handsful? Considering how good you look preceding that fight, I mean you
were looking good six in a row. Yeah. I was really worked hard and uh prepare you know, put my all effort into it, and uh it was really excited about being an opportunity to fight for the title again. I was more determined than ever and I felt very confident going into the fight. Did you talk any ship to him in the ring? No, No, you just went to work. I was always telling not to run off. Yeah, I just went to where let my hands go, Let my hands do the talking. I like that. So much
has been written about that fight. What's something that fans or media may be surprised to know about that night in Tokyo. Well, it was the fight was actually at noon, you know, at twelve o'clock noon Tokyo time, and uh, we were paying and training around that time and in the ring and noon. We were trained the noon. Every day I got up and round in the morning, Hey, breakfast, and went back to take a little nap and then went back to the gym. So at twelve o'clock I
was preparing for the fight every day. When you were out there in Japan, I mean you're training, You're burning a lot of calories. You gotta eat. Uh get sushi? You're a fan of sushi? Was the food weird? Not at all? No, I mean uh American food and saying yeah, basically saying died I was on when I was in the United States. Have you ever tried sushi though? No, not at all. Yeah, no, I feel you no my cup of tea, I like like like flames and I hear you buster. How much did your life change after
that fight? I mean all of a sudden, you're a household name from boxing fans and beyond. I'm sure you just went on a total circus of a media tour and met all these people. What was the biggest change, Well, just like you said, it was just a media circus and I wasn't hired demand where everybody wanted to talk to me, and no who I was, where I came from.
It was like I was alien from another planet. But you know what's interesting about that fight, not only did you beat Tyson, but you really set the blueprint for how to beat him afterwards by keeping him at bay with the jab, keeping him away jab jab jab jab jab jab jab. Did you know that that was gonna be the key to fight them and to beat them or did that just was was that something that came to you while you were in the ring. No, this
is something my father and I discussed. He was telling me, always telling me to be first, don't sit dren be looking, let your hands go and and go from there. Yeah, because that jab really kept him away. Yeah, because you see Lennox Lewis beat him that way, even if Vanderer beat him that way, and that was the way just like if anyone wanted to beat Tyson after that, you really just kept him away, kept him from getting inside
with that job. So that was that's very interesting that you kind of you beat Tyson, but then also people copied you afterwards to beat them with the style. Correct. Yeah, Buster, Where do you think the sport of boxing has grown since you've hung it up? And where do you think it's going I think it's grown quite a bit, and uh, I think it says it still has a bright future, you know, being a great sport that it is, you know, one on one individuals in the battle, battle lane it out.
I think it has It's gonna be around for a long time to come, that's for sure. What do you think about all the antics outside of the ring? That has grown a great deal? Uh, you know, entering the ring, it's very theatrical, you know, but you know, it doesn't matter how you enter the ring is what you do once you get inside there. That that has never changed. If the theatrics leading up to it has gotten pretty exciting. But so I want to ask you in that fight,
you actually got knocked out. So he felt Tyson's power with that, with his famous uppercut that he puts so many heads to sleep, which stretched so many people out with What does Mike Tyson's power feel like? Well, it's it's a force, you know, he has a lot of force behind it as well the impact, you know, and it really it doesn't feel like, you know, you've really been hit. That's why it's so sweet and so sneaky.
It's not like you get crushed with it. It's a it's a sneaky type of feeling, you know, it's a delayed reaction. You know, it's kind of weird to describe it. But did he hit the hardest of anyone? No, not at all. I've been here a lot harder. You know before Wow, who hit harder than him had a small
partner to get hit pretty good. You know. He was like a cruisyweight and uh, you know, it's just sometimes some guys just happen that and said, I don't, Wow, it wasn't the hardest and I had ever been hit. Let's talk about the fight this week in between Deante Wilder and Tyson Fury. It's their third fight. These guys genuinely seem to hate each other. We were talking about antics out of the ring. Was there ever an opponent that you actually disliked like they do? Not? Really? Okay,
you know it was it was, It's always been. I mean, it was always depressed. That was my main enemy, you know, because of never getting getting acknowledge like I thought I should have been. But that's what kept me going, and that what led to me becoming a heavyweight champion of the world. Buster in that tuck of fight, the press. Speaking of the press, they created the storyline that you quit and then you got known as the quitter. Did you quit or was it just that you got tired
or what happened there? You know that really transpires right back in the beginning of training camp. There was a lot going on. It was not a smooth transition leading up to the fight. It was just a lot of madness going on within the camp and kind of just pulled over into the fight. Don't believe it or not. You have to have a controlled environment leading up to a fight. Everything's going smoothly. You know, you're working, focusing
on training and preparing for your fight. But there was a lot of distractions leading up during that Tucker fight, and I think it just carried over into the ring. So it left a lot of doubt, a lot of
miss judgments because of my performance. But I still felt determined that I knew I had to had what it takes to become a heavyweight champion of the world, and it just made me even more determined once I came up short in that Tucker fight to come back and still obtaining a childhood dream by becoming a heavyweight champion of the world and afterwards you fought a Vander and then a Vander ended up beating Tyson easily twice. Did the boxing world know of Vander? Was that dangerous? Do
you think Tyson new? What? What were your thoughts about a Vander holly Field at the time. I knew he was a great fighter, and you know, he had attention to be a great fighter, and you know he was a determined individual, and you had to be on point, totally focusing at your best to going there and compete against me. So I was well aware, and that's why I accepted the challenge because I thought at the time, I thought everything was gonna be going as smoothly as ever.
But it didn't work out like that, but it was still a great opportunity, and I just, uh, I mean, I did what I could at that time. Who hits harder? Mike Tyson or Vander holy Field? I always said, anybody that has over two h pounds had a pretty good punch, and and so once you get hit, you get hit, So you know they're all the same. Who do you think the greatest heavyweight of all time? Is? I always
a great say Muhammad Ali? Well, he's always been one of my favorite fighters and started a kind of president towards Ali. Got a chance to meet him and hang out with him. He's pretty great with a great guy. When we look at other sports, guys who are teammates when they retire, they have a bond, kind of a fraternity. Does that exist in boxing so much? Are there guys who maybe win against or just cross paths with that you're friendly with this day? Yeah, it's like that. You
know some guys that you know. For me, it's not only in the heavyweight division, but it's in the other divisions as well. Opportunities. I was a big fan of other guys and that opportunity to meet him and got to know him and walked away like he is a really great guy. So yeah, that carries over in boxing as well. What do you think about m m A Because I know you train young kids now, do you feel like there's a lot of kids coming in who are training with boxing as one aspect of what they
want to do well? The kids that I work with, our strictly boxers, And uh, it's a joy because I see myself and a lot of them coming up at that young age. Because I started a team as a ten year old and it's just like reliving it all over again. But I'm on the other end. Uh, it's pretty exciting. I really enjoy it and having a great time with them. You see any potential in any of them to maybe one day be the next Buster Douglas. I see it in all of them really, one way
or another. You know, it's just, Uh, they're exciting to be around, and they're positive individuals, and uh, we all have a dream, so you know, not to knock anyone's dream. You know, it's to enhance it and and make it better. Hopefully it will come true. What did you hate most about the media and the storylines they created? Was one of them that you hated that you didn't have the ferocity that your dad had ad or that you were a quitter? Like? What made you hate the media so
much and what they said about you? I never hated the media. It was just everybody in their own opinion, everybody's entire to your own opinion. But it was just I never listened to him. You know, I could care less what they thought because I knew what was inside of me, and people around me knew what I was capable of doing, and we just made the best of it. And then nothing else. It was feel for the fire that seems to be a big part of your message
and your mojo. That's such a great thing also to be teaching the kids that you're working with now about using that harnessing that energy. I wanted to ask you again the fight this weekend overall, style wise, who do you like to win? Fury or Wilder? I'll tell you. I would have to say Fury has it is because he is a boxing and Wilder has got a new trainer and I think he's changed his technique a little differently.
But we want to see how how far how long he can sustain that, because there's gonna be a lot of pressure on with the wild on this fight, fighting Fury and having a new trainer and going into it with one idea with a different aspect, but getting hit and wants to combat, wants to fight starts and things starting not going your way, as you're gonna maintain that ability to continue this new style, as he's gonna revert back to the old Wilder or it gets kind of
wild and depends on that right hand to change things. It's gonna be interesting, but there's gonna be a lot of a lot of weight on wilder shoulders see if he can sustain this new technique and ability that he has been working on for the last few weeks. Everybody talks about the skills in boxing and the power, but there's also a mental aspect to it as well. Like
you see when everyone fought Tyson, they look scared. When you saw a Fury fight a Wilder for the first time, he looked a little scared of the right hand, but then in the second fight he didn't look scared. How big a role does the fear and mental aspect play in approaching a fight when you enter the ring. Well,
that's what I was saying earlier about. You know, my burning point is maintaining that mental strength, staying focused, not getting overly excited and get losing your losing the game plan, because everybody walks in there for the game plan, but it's always it's all my own fact that once you get hit and get hit again and again, can you sustain that same mental toughness to where you can stay focused enough to whether that's storm and come out with
the same game plan and continue on, especially if it's working everything's working for you, because sometimes it doesn't work out in the earlier part of the fight, but you got twelve rounds to change things and have a different approach. But it's all about the mental toughness, and it's and how you react to once you get hit and things don't look as clear and get some on our edge of the year spectrum where you might might not want to stay focused and continue to believe in what you
want into the ring with. It's all about mental toughness, and whoever sustains that this fight coming up, it's gonna be the winner. That's good insight. It's gonna be a good one, you know. Buster. We always like to have some fun with our guests, and since you pulled off one of the greatest upsets of all time, we'd like to know what upsets you. So we're going to list some things that are common everyday nuisances, and you tell us how upset that makes you. Are you ready? I'm ready? Okay.
The first one is when someone takes their shoes off on an airplane. How upset does that make you? It doesn't bother me unless it's a bad older you know. Other than that, I'm fine, okay, Okay. How about people talking very loud on their speaker phone on their cell phone in public. Well, that's pretty annoying. First, when you're trying to get some rest, I'm playing or something like that, trying to sleep, and somebody's on behind you on the
speaker phone chitcha and all loud, unruly. That could be a very annoying. Yeah, and then you hear all their business. I hate that too. What about bad service at a restaurant? Oh, I hate that the most because when I'm going to a restaurant, I'm hungry. They need to get meal and relaxing and enjoying the company that I'm with. Ye, that could be very annoying as well. Uh man, this one's a tough one for me. But let's see how you feel about it. Long lines at the DMV, night man, Yeah,
I usually I usually have somebody standing in line for him. Yeah, until up to the door and then I'll go in. Okay. What about when you pull up to a store and you're trying to park and someone has parked just so that you could have fit another car in, but they left too much room on both sides. You can't park there, night man. I could be very could be a touch of situation. You want to turn into the incredible hawking and slide the car over, and I think you could.
Very annoying. Buster. How about people leaving their shopping carts in the middle of a parking lot, you know, and they don't put the shopping car back. That's really annoying, especially we got a nice car. This one. Yeah, easily started coming towards your car. Type your car and scritching not a good thing. Yeah, yeah, you can't mess with a car, that's right. Okay, this one. My husband gets very mad at me about when I reach over and have a bite of his food. Oh yeah, that's not
so bad. Oh, that's that's nice. Yeah, sharing is carrying Olivia, sharing his carring exactly. That's what that's what I want to I'm going to make sure I tell my husband. How about what you're dropping a douce and you look over and there's no toilet paper. Someone forgot to replace the toilet paper last Very annoying, very annoying. That upset you. Yeah,
that's just all I'll speak on that. Yeah. Yeah, I always check before I go in there anyway, and make sure somebody was polite enough to make sure it was paper on the road before the next individual comes in. Okay, what about when people are talking at a movie theater and you can't hear the movie. That's not good, that's horrible. Yeah, they talked throughout the whole movie. Oh here he comes in one scene. Just see. Oh yeah, look at this is what I was talking about. What's this? It was
like ship up nightmare? Okay, honest, you picked the last one. Okay, the last one is how much does it upset you that Jake Paul is making the most money boxing right now. It doesn't have certly at all. It's like a power touring, you know. It's just it's this individual that's final Paulson. He's taking total advantage of it. Yeah. Him, Do you have one more fighting you? And will you fight Jack Paul and knock him out? I've always got one more fighting mee to walk and talk and breathe. I always
feel like I've got another fight in me. Laugh. That is the perfect place to end. That's very inspiring. Your story so inspiring. We appreciate you coming on, Buster. This was a lot of fun. Thanks for having I appreciate enjoying. It's been a lot of fun. Time to get to this weekend's action. Let's go ahead and bring in bed MGM betting expert Peter Andrew. And you know what, Peter, I guess you're invite to Vegas this weekend. Got lost
in the mail again. I keep thinking you've got more pole in the company than you do, so I don't think maybe next time. A lot of people think that, But I'm coming to realize I got about as much pull as the intern. Oh gosh, you'll be watching from home. We're gonna be ringside at Wilder v. Fury this weekend in Las Vegas, the whole bed MGM family. I'm so excited. Give us a little preview of what bet ors can
expect him where they should put their money. Yeah. Well, happened to be our newest that MGM ambassador Arial Hallan. He had an amazing interview with with Tyson Fury a couple of days ago. I thought that showed us everything. He's super relaxed. Tyson. He just looks like he's ready for this fight. He's obviously been training, but he got Dante Wilder, who was a little bit on edge. He the accusation has been cheating from last fight. He still talks about it. I think Fury is coming in just
clear head ready to roll. You know, first flight was a little bit of a fluke in my opinion, being a draw. But I love Tyson Fury this weekend. I don't think it goes to distance. I like in minus two seventy five he had a lay a little bit there to win just the fight out right, but minus one ten to win by either T K O, K O d Q, etcetera. So I really like him to finish, probably within the four to six round window. But overall he looks great. The Fury family as a whole, just
they are superior boxers. Might see his his brother against Jake Paul in a couple of months, but for now, Tyson takes care of it. This weekend in Vegas. Did Dante Wilder's changing his coach change the lines at all? Did he come up at all? Now? It was pretty much it stayed pretty status quo. I think Fury might have even been a bit more of a favorite glass go round. But I think things have changed pretty consistently or stay the same, I should say pretty consistently throughout
this one. I think it's a bit more lopsided than people may have thought a couple of years ago. So I expect that to be the case. You say, the whole bet MGM family is gonna be there. But you know there was no invite for me to be ringside. So Olivia enjoy it while I watch it on television. I will. So it's not just me. Here's there's the odd man out. It's it's me and it's both both of us. Great, it's a Greek thing. Yeah, okay, Jents,
what do you say we move on to football? Looking ahead at this week, we always do our punishment picks, and Pete, you picked the three games for us. Let's go ahead and run down your slate punishment. Yeah, so I think three pretty decent games. Definitely two of them. Third one will say Brown's Chargers take them. Right now, Chargers look really good against the Raiders. Browns have looked
really good the entire season for the most part. What do you guys think they're I think the Chargers are the real deal being the three and O Raiders last week shout out in the first half. That was a huge win. This is easy. Give me the Chargers. I'm going with the revitalized Cleveland Brown. So we disagree on this one. Given me a chance again to redeem myself. Second one, this is the game I was talking about that I don't know how close it will be, but
always a rivalry Game of the week. Giants plus seven against the Cowboys. So Cowboys touchdown? Favorite? What do you guys think they're? Cowboys look great, They lead the division. They've won three straight since their Thursday night opener against Tampa. They've rapped over four hundred yards of offense in three of their four games. They have so anyways to do it, so many weapons. I like the Boys by a touchdown, and I'd probably even take that if it went up
to ten or more. I like the Giants. This is one time where my heart and head could line up nicely. The Giants look great. A couple of weeks ago, I remember even Peter you saying you don't think Daniel Jones is the answer. He it looks like he heard you and he took it. Personally. He looks great, absolutely great. Quan is finally looking great. They're letting him run. The Giants look amazing. Defense is coming through New York is
coming back, build back better, baby. I mean by now, I think you guys know that I'm a mush So whatever you want to happen. Just let me know the opposite and it will come to fruition. Last game so big one. I believe this is Sunday Night Football. Bills plus two and a half against the Chiefs. What do you guys like there? Rematch of the a f C Championship that is so good it's going to be more drama on Sunday Night football. Is that they didn't get
enough last week. The Chiefs covered last week in their win over Philly for the first time since Week eight last season in a regular season game. I don't trust the Chiefs to cover. I don't know if it stays under six, I'm in on the spread right now or the Chiefs to win outright money line. Look, Chiefs make me nervous. They're my team, They're my a f C team. I don't think they're going to cover too big a number because they kind of have a habit of playing
with their food. They make these games hard on themselves. The offense is such a high ceiling when everything's clicking. I think they might get Josh Gordon, a wide receiver this week for a big body target from homes, but their defense is not good again. Take this number low two and a half. I'll take Chiefs. Wow. Listen, this is what makes this fun. This is the only time you and Olivia are going to disagree on all three pear. Oh my gosh, I am going with Buffalo from this
point on. I don't think they're gonna lose a game. The city of Buffalo needs this. You know, there's no city in the NFL that needs this team to win more Buffalo. I'm behind you New York all the way this weekend. Baby, Yeah, Buffalo. I mean last week, granted they were playing the Texans, but pretty impressive. I think three nothing something like that. So it's gonna be a good one on Sunday night for sure. Well, thanks so much, Peter. Don't forget to go to bed MGM on Twitter on
