0:00 I'm just making best bets for me and Anthony. And I'm like, "Hey, dude, send me 15 bucks." And then I'm sending him like 35 bucks, 35 bucks. Like, "Hey, send me another 15." I'm sending him 75 bucks. Like, it was like we've had an insane heater. Okay, here I'm going to say this, too, because I'm going to say here, I never told him about this either. I've been making bets for us on the side, too. I just lost them all, so I never asked him to send me money. [Music] Welcome back to a very exciting episode of Careful Boys, where we're talking about the NBA Finals. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. One of the greatest games of my life. You're having the time of your life. Pacers Nick's game one pro. I am in I am in the mother zone. Sorry. Quack, right? Quack. I quacked.
0:51 Use a rare species of duck, please. When I quack on that one, please. Yeah, quack. It's before the 3 minute mark, man. $8. I know. I'm sorry. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So, Nicks in It was Yeah, it was going to be Nick and Yeah, I know. Exactly. No, Pac is one, but I was in Sedona. I'm at a sports bar and No, I'm in a Mexican restaurant bar thing in in Sedona with a bunch of strangers. And since I walked in, they're like, "There's people in there who like like the Knicks, right?" And so, they're like, "You really think you guys are going to win this one?" I think I was like, "I think we're winning game one." I bet on it. I showed him my bed on my phone and then and then we're, you know, I'm And then we're just we're sitting there and as the game develops, I'm like, here's what's going to happen. I've been watching Pers game all year long and I know ball. I know ball inside and out. My ball knowledge grows 94 ft a day, which is the length of a basketball court. So, I'm at miles and miles of ball right now, right? And I've been watching Pacers ball all year. We wear
1:42 out the opponents, right? That and and and then by the end they're they're shooting like they're so tired trying to keep up with us, right? And I was like, we're going to wear them down and and then the fourth quarter we are going to to to finish the job on them. And granted, they were up like 20 on us in the fourth and I'm like starting to slump in my seat a little bit, right? But I didn't leave. A coward would have left. He stayed there. Yeah. You know what I mean? I steal my jaw. I was I was ready to take it. Right. And then we started to come back. Dude, Harley Well, first of all, no. First was Neart. First was Neart. He was just sinking those threes non-stop. And I was he couldn't miss magnetic hoop, right, as they say. And so so then oh, oh my god, we're down nine now. Oh, N Smith. Aaron Smith, sorry. N Smith was drilling them. And then um and then you know, um Tyrese got us back in the game. Yeah. Nith hit four
2:34 threes in a row, bro. That's big. Wow. And it was just like you didn't think he could do it again and he hit it again. This after halftime. This is in the fourth. Fourth. Yeah. This is when we needed when they were down like 17 or something. Come back, baby. That we did that against the Cavs. We did that against the Bucks. So, we've seen these miraculous comebacks, but they're they're less miraculous if you know that the Pacers play at a really fast pace and uh but but like they wear down the opponent and then by the fourth quarter, you see like guys who like Brunson, dude, that guy's an absolute star, right? He's he's so good. He's so good. He's all over the court. He was just like throwing bricks up because there's just they're just worn out, right? And he's doing everything. He can't he can't play both sides of the floor for four for four quarters. That's exactly it. Like you and their their bench like is really good, but they're just not that deep because because they just couldn't
3:25 keep up and and that's what the Pacers have going for them. It's just a deep bench and everyone seems to play in in like like I don't know uniform way. They call it like the power of friendship or whatever. So they wear them out and then when it's ready they're like, "All right, they're tired. put in the ████ team. They're all fresh and they're like, "Let's go." But they're they're just doing like the most clutch things, too. Everybody's like making it happen. It it feels like the energy is crazy, bro. It's not like Laker where it's like pass it to Kobe, pass it to Kobe. It's like last year, if you remember, um when it was us against the Knicks in this Eastern semis, right, we beat them in seven, but in game seven, we shot at 65%, which I think was a record at the time. Dang. So, it's just like these we just know how to wear these teams down and then we we we we bring it like it like we just like Anthony says it almost is like miraculous. Especially in a seven game
4:16 series though because the recovery days like those are tough. It's been the most fun I have ever had watching basketball and and like that first game one right where he circles back and then he gets that to the line and he pulls the choke. Okay. So, basically you you watched that game, right? This is one of the craziest moments because to even come back after Nith makes four threes in a row and for them to come back from like a 17-point deficit in the fourth and then they give Harley the ball and there's like 3 seconds left and he like tries to take it in, he loses a moment, has to jump back out, barely steps on the line, throws it up and when the ball goes up, it hits the back of the rim and it flies straight up. So everyone's like Nick's fans are going like that. You can see in the background they're going like that. straight up, bro. And then goes right in the basket, right through and that ties
5:07 it to go into overtime. Yeah. And Howie pulled the choke cuz he thought he thought he sunk a three and then he found out which is what which is what Reggie Miller did back in the day against the Knicks like 25 years ago. So crazy. And Hallebertton scored 31 points, which is Reggie Miller's number that that game. It was crazy. Reggie Miller was there. Explain that. Okay, that this is when Reggie Miller looked at Spike Lee during that game 25 years ago because the Knicks choked the lead and so he looked at Spike Lee and went, "You guys just choked." Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. That that was the last time they and then they proceeded to lose against the Knicks in the next series of in that series. They proceeded to lose against the Knicks. So, it was kind of cool that we did that and a bunch of Knicks fans thought, "Oh, well, he only scored two." So, now they're going to choke the rest of the way like hopefully, right? So he did the choke and he even said it later in postgame interview like oh maybe that was premature cuz it was he stepped on the line so it only went to overtime but
5:57 then they they won in overtime. Damn. Well that's good that they still won. Damn. And then they won the next game in New York too in game two. So it was just like a oh my god they're really going to do this. Yeah. It was a psychological thing. And then not to mention I had been betting for us the whole time. The whole time. I got a I got a degenerate question for you guys. How many of the teams did you guys bet on before the the season started? We bet two. Two. Two. Yeah. One on the Lakers. Oh, that's it. Celtics. And then one on We put 50 bucks on the Lakers because the odds are like 2500. Yep. Sick. And we didn't know we were going to get ████ 2500. You could have put a dollar and came up two grand, right? Not quite. No, you got to put a 100. Honda. Anyways, uh and then we bet 15 bucks on the Celtics who won the series or won the finals last year as a hedge. Yeah, hedge. No, no, none of us liked it. So,
6:48 the Celtics and the Lakers. Lakers to start the season and then But then by uh just after the halfway mark, I bet Pacers 50 bucks. Were they looking good? Is that why you made a choice? Yeah, I had just been watching it the way it's even better. He's actually he's not being as arrogant as he usually is. What he did was I think he bet like 12 bucks on a Pacers game or something like that and then it turned into like 46. So he So then he rolled that 46 into the winnings and I texted him instantly cuz he's my bet my bet brother, right? So I was like I was like I was like dude I don't know if you even care but I'm doing this. I know you're going to make fun of me or whatever. And then uh I just cracked up cuz I was like wo that's crazy but ████ it. Anony's down and they were plus 10,000 then bro that's legit. So, my bet right now as it stands, and maybe I hope it I hope we're still Gucci. I don't want to jinx anything, but I put I have $47 to win $4,700.
7:40 Right now, you can't even get them except for plus 400. That's great. And be and before they went against the Knicks, um I put uh cuz they were just the magic. I was feeling the magic and the Lakers were out. After the Lakers lost, I took like a three-day break off basketball cuz I was just like hurt. I was just sad. I was sad. But but then right I was like, "All right, who am I going to ████ vote for now? Who who do I want to see? Who do I like?" Right? As a team, the Pacers have just been the most fun to watch because what they're doing is just like it's just magical. It doesn't matter that OKC is like nasty. And we'll talk about that. But but it's like it's like watching the Spurs be good. It's not magic. It's just damn you guys are just good. You know, the Pacers I'm like what the ████ It's like Miracle Ball out there is what it looks like. It's crazy. So I'm like all right, ████ it. I'll just ride with you. I put five bucks on the Pacers and if I win that bet two for the finals, I get 3005.
8:32 That's legit, bro. You know what's crazy to me though? Like a You know how every every team, whether it's football or basketball, they always have these dieh hard rich fans that will always bet at the beginning of the season, every time, no matter what. Imagine how much those guys are shaking right now that put like a,000 or 10,000 bucks on their team. No doubt. Imagine that ████ No doubt, dude. Dude, but that's but you know, that's just like the odds, right? If you're just in it to win it all the time, if you put 50 bucks on the Lakers at the beginning season every year, they're going to win one time. And when they win one time, you're going to make all your money back and then some. So, it don't matter. True. But right now, we're betting on the Pacers to go all the way, baby. Dude, wait. So, what would the odds be if it if you did a pregame like pre Okay, so right now, right? Oh, your odds on the Pacers would have been in it probably been like plus
9:22 120,000. It would have been great. the Pacers were not in the conversation, which is crazy cuz we like I said, we went to the with to the Eastern Conference semi-finals last year and we we actually um we we lost to the to the Celtics in the semi-finals. But what we got things that you didn't know were going to happen, right, are like one uh uh Giannis Anti Kumbo like like he just couldn't do it because Damen Lillard got injured. Um, we didn't know that Jason Tatum was going to get injured. Even on like the the West side, you know, like Stephen Curry getting injured, Luca coming over, so like Dallas wasn't even in the question. Um, Luca coming over, working with LeBron, but not having a big guy because we couldn't trade for a center trade deadline and stuff like that. So, like things things were shifting so drastically that you just didn't know where to put your bets. And then suddenly, and I even admitted to
10:12 him too, at first without knowing a lot, I was like, I'm not a really big fan of Tyrese Hallebertton, right? What up, guys?

See you guys there. Say hi to me. That was last year. Yeah, that was last year. And then they go to the Olympics. He plays maybe like 7 seconds of the entire Olympic run. And then he puts on he tweets one time and he talks about like, "Oh, it's like being on a
11:02 group project, got an A, and you didn't do any work." And then I was like, "F███, I like this guy now." Like admitting it versus Jason Tatum who also didn't play, but like you could tell he's just like, "Man, I was finals MVP. Like, how come playing? You just got this weird energy. Nobody likes Jason Tatum. Straight up. Nobody likes him unless you're in Boston. You're already whacked, right? So, and then so I'm like, "Dude, I kind of like Tyres Hallebertton." Then he goes off to have this stellar season. He's unbelievable. And I'm like, dude, the Pacers are hella fun to watch because they're also the underdog team. Always. You always want you want. And every time those ESPN bucks, they always pick every other team than us. And they just did it again for OKC except for I think one guy. OKC has the best record the whole year. And they're young, too. I fear them. I truly do. I don't I don't How do you think it plays out? That's what I want to know. I I actually just I don't I don't know. I feel like we're having one of those
11:52 Destiny seasons. I think I think we're going to win it all. I really I think I think if I were to like try and be an analyst and I'm not good at this at all, and I always do really really bad bets and investments. You see my track record? Uh, let's go. Bet brother. Bet brother. I think it's one of those things where in your head you're like, "Okay, OKC is for sure analysts should say that they would win. They're definitely going to be favored to win the way they play." But if there's a team to maybe be able to break them down, it's probably the Pacers, which is crazy to an Indiana fan. It is crazy to hear somebody even say that. You have no idea what it's like being an Indiana fan in general. Like nobody even ████ talks about your team number one. I had to explain to my buddy Mormon's girlfriend that the Pacers even exist. She's like, "That's not a team. Indiana doesn't have a team.
12:42 That's not a big enough market." I was like, "You've never seen this symbol before, have you?" Like the logo I had on my hat. And she's like, "No, I've never seen that before." Like not one time. And I'm like I'm like, "You've heard of the Orlando Magic?" She's like, "Yep." I'm like, "You've heard of the Knicks?" "Yep." "You heard the Lakers?" "Yep." "You heard of the Celtics?" "Yep." Like I go down the list. Like uh the Kings, everybody. But like you, as an Indiana fan, you are invisible, brother. You are You are not there. That whole state must be ████ screaming right now. Crazy. They're hyped, bro. Dude, Pacers Twitter and even just Indiana Twitter. It's the Jungalow State. They don't got nothing else going. The jungle. This is like one of those like Disney um this is like a Disney sports movie where even if they even if they lose in the finals, it's like they were the winners by like they're going to have a documentary. Nobody thought we could even get there. Is there a bet like that where you can bet they'll lose, but they'll be the winners? Like the second place? That's great.
13:34 Hey, if you guys win, can you take us to Brazilian barbecue and split the bill evenly between you two? First of all, my bill is not as gangster as his so I can get you your Diet Coke. That would be hella funny. Yeah, cuz he's going to he's going to come up like five grand. 300 bucks. Putting it on the record. He said he said if Indiana wins because he he gets like five grand for it. He says he's buying me steak. And that's just me. If you if you buy them food, too, you have to buy me a separate steak. I agree on top. I agree with that. I agree with that. So, he's going to spend over a grad. I will treat the boys for sure. He's winning, though. He's already winning, though. Why Why if you can't have fun? I'm a Laker boy through and through. Must be hard. It must be tough. Must be real rough, dude. For me, we won the bubble. For me to be like, you know what, Steve? I'm a ride with you. I'm a rider on Indiana Pacers. Like, love it. The rule that
14:24 we've had is stop betting with our hearts, right? Bet with your head. Yeah. All the UFC fights like stop ████ betting with your heart. But it's not as fun. Just bet with your head. Pacers, we're like ████ it, dude. ████ our head. Just bet the Pacers. Hey, honestly, for the UFC, Shauna Mali's fine this weekend. He's the underdog. He's plus 200. You know, I like him. I think I'm going to put a bet on him. If you're going to do it, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it, too. I'm going to put a bet on. Hey, let's do hearts then rather than heads, dude. Let's Let's change it up a little bit. But my heart by heart and my head. But now that we said that, we just dude what's going to be funny is people watching this like, man, OKC won in three games somehow. It's never happened before, dude. Now that we see the third game, they don't score any points. They scored no point. They scored 200 points. We're so excited and it's already done. No, honestly, I Dude, whatever happens from now on, it doesn't matter cuz this was the greatest
15:15 season of basketball I've ever seen for me. And I I can't They can never take away all my joy. I just had so much fun. Are you actually watching the game? Even just Oh, yeah. Even just wearing this shirt around has been a blast. It's just Do anybody want to fight you when they see you? No. People are just like, "Holy ████ dude. That's been crazy." Hey, you know what's crazy that I saw, though? This is what the Knicks fans get cuz they were throwing trash cans at that Pacers fan. That was gave that full Did he give him courtside? Gave him boxes, which is cool as ████ for him to do. Like that that made me like him a lot more. And I was like, that's tight because that dude he apparently that guy was a firefighter and he's just walking to his hotel and there were there was like a mob of fools throwing trash at him just for wearing Pacers jersey. There was another one there was another one of a Pacers fan walking out of Madison Square Garden and they started
16:05 ripping his shirt off like his Pacers shirt off. Yeah. Just like dude, could you could you argue that it's a temp? Can I could write that down? Wait, real quick though. I wanna I want to give you guys a little bit of an edge because most of you guys you understand that I know ball now miles a ball but one of my ed greatest edges this entire playoff run I have been keeping a secret but I'm going to share it with you right now. What is it? Anthony show them what I've been showing you. This is this is how he knows why we should always bet and and there's a basically on the Pacers proof way that I've been betting all year. Yeah. Since the since the finals be or since the playoffs be. So, it's basically like a fortune teller, but it in the form of a dog. Yeah, dude. I love going to win game one. Pacers are going to win game two.
16:57 It's been pretty right though. No. OKC is going to win game three. Pacers are taking game four. All right. OKC. Okay. So, that they want to stretch it out. They force a five. Oh ████ Pacers in six. Pacers in six. Do they have one for the Knicks? Gambler sign. Yes, they did. And the Pacers won. And I think it actually nailed how many games. No way. Oracle in six. In six. We should do in six. Check the odds. Check the odds. Use Oracle Corgi to to tell you. I can tell you right now, dude. That's insane. I just can't bet it cuz I'm in not in Nevada. Nevada. Got to be back in Nevada. It's got to be legit then. I got a site you guys could use. Bulvvada. I'm telling you the the corgi the corgi nose ball because apparently corgi it's the corgi oracle the corgi calls it coral. It's the corac. It's the
17:49 coracle. And I can't wait to have Brazilian barbecue. Dude, I can't wait for the Pacers to win. You know what I mean? Let's go Pacers. Come on. You got me hyped up. So, also timeliness. We're going to BJ's for my birthday because I like BJ's. Yep. Me too, bud. But really, we're just going to be watching the game. So, for my birthday, Corgi said it. We got to win our bets today. Corgi said it. Yes, please. Doesn't the game start at 5:00? 5:30. Me and Anthony put in 25 each to win $215. That's how much OKC is favored tonight. Cuz they're at home. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you're also betting the games, too? 100%. What do you guys use? MGM? I use station. You know, if you win too much, they ban you. They're about to ban me, dude. Dude, bro, we're winning like 50 bucks at a time. Like it's really not too much. How fun has it been? If you keep betting and winning overall and your score is too good, they
18:40 ban you. Dude, I think you've been I think you've been like you were choreographing or whatever and I was making bets for us and then I didn't even tell Anthony half the time making bets for us. Like during this whole playoff run when we were against the Bucks, when we were against the Cavs, I'm just making bets for me and Anthony. And I'm like, "Hey dude, send me 15 bucks." And then I'm sending him like 35 bucks. 35 bucks. Like, "Hey, send me another 15." I'm sending him 75 bucks. Like it was like we've had an insane heater. Okay, here I'm going to say this too because I'm going to say here I never told him about this either. I've been making best friends on the side, too. I just lost them all. So, I never asked him to send me money cuz I'm doing I'm doing crazy parlays. Oh ████ I'm doing crazy. Yeah, he hasn't told me that. That's so funny because it's like if you bet like five bucks, you win like $112. I'm like, dude, I'm not going to be like, "Send me $2.50 if we lose." But I'd rather be
19:30 like, "Hey, send me $2.50 50 cents and here's $56. You know what I mean? Like that's that was like what I did to him. I was like, "Hey, send me I" I was like, "Send me 15 bucks." I send him like 80 bucks. Sick. You guys do all the promos on the apps and ████ Well, you do the 10% booster. I do the 10% booster. I do the multiplier booster. Yeah. Those are There's multiply boosters on station, but we do I do the promos on prize picks, but those are way harder cuz you have to do overunder parlays, which we have today. Hey, if we win that one today, Pizooki's on me. That's big. But regardless, it's my birthday. Pizookie's on can. That's true. Thanks, Kazui.
