00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.100 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.460 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.800 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves a match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:00.040 this is the 77 wabc minicast the anthony cumia let's go right to the phones eric in orlando
00:01:14.740 florida what's up eric hey anthony hey jimmy great to have you in the studio hi eric
00:01:21.080 I was just thinking back, and I was listening to it earlier on my phone today,
00:01:24.720 driving, because I always listen to old O&A bits at least one or two hours a day driving.
00:01:28.960 It was the one where Heather Mills had the miscarriage,
00:01:31.600 and you guys were coming up with Beatles titles to change it around a little bit.
00:01:37.580 The best line went to Anthony.
00:01:40.780 We said, Lady McCartney, stewed tomato out of your feet,
00:01:43.660 and then Jim just was laughing so hard he almost lost his breath.
00:01:47.260 I think of the term stewed tomato probably once a week.
00:01:52.480 Just terrible people.
00:01:54.600 The Beatles songs, I forgot about that.
00:01:56.080 It's so funny that years later people will remember the horrid things we said in the name of humor.
00:02:04.020 Lady McCartney, stewed tomato at your feet.
00:02:07.280 I forgot that she had one.
00:02:08.860 Thank you for the reminder.
00:02:09.980 Thank you, Eric.
00:02:11.460 A great memory.
00:02:12.400 Yeah, there was a lot of song parodies.
00:02:16.640 We should have been thrown off a lot sooner.
00:02:19.420 I mean, look, they did kind of, in most part, let us say what we wanted.
00:02:24.720 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:25.240 And there was some really monstrous jokes.
00:02:28.680 I don't feel bad about any of them.
00:02:30.800 No, no.
00:02:31.540 They were all in the name of fun and humor.
00:02:36.220 This is what a lot of people say, oh, if it was you or your family or this.
00:02:41.860 But we directly made fun of and talked about things that did affect us personally, our own families.
00:02:49.600 And, you know, if it's funny, it's funny.
00:02:51.920 And I know the audience, the ONA audience, liked the morbid kind of gallows humor that we were doing.
00:02:59.600 And it is funnier when it's someone else.
00:03:01.240 Yes.
00:03:01.600 It is.
00:03:02.180 We know that.
00:03:02.900 You can't look at life like that all the time.
00:03:05.780 Every time there's a movie about it, we're not going to make movies about the Titanic because people are really cold in the water.
00:03:10.180 The people were very freezing cold.
00:03:13.540 Did you ever see that movie?
00:03:16.020 No.
00:03:17.120 What are you talking about?
00:03:18.580 Did you ever see Titanic?
00:03:21.460 You know, it didn't sink.
00:03:23.260 It was the sister ship, the Titanic, all the people because of the banks, the people on board.
00:03:31.540 I am so done with conspiracy theories.
00:03:35.860 not you know stuff comes up and you go all right that's a little fishy or something but the standard
00:03:42.240 textbook everyone's 9-11 the moon the flat earth i'm so done with you i stop it it's boring
00:03:50.740 and you're just playing dungeons and dragons yeah that's what you're you're just larping as
00:03:56.440 the little boy who solves the mystery yeah shut up it's a lot more exciting life is so much more
00:04:02.200 exciting if there is this conspiratorial upper echelon of government or the Illuminati and
00:04:08.720 they're trying to fool everyone, but you figured it out.
00:04:12.460 You're the guy that finally is cracking the case.
00:04:15.360 It's exciting.
00:04:16.520 It makes you feel important.
00:04:17.940 I know.
00:04:18.260 You're not.
00:04:18.900 You're not the guy.
00:04:20.300 Here's what you are.
00:04:21.540 You're an autistic incel with skin tags on your neck.
00:04:24.740 That's what you are.
00:04:25.880 You're not cracking the case, fat boy.
00:04:30.240 Cracking a bag of Doritos.
00:04:31.700 Exactly.
00:04:32.200 a floor i'm so done with it i can't stand it someone thinks they're cracking they're breaking
00:04:41.780 it wide open they're the ones you're not going to be the guy we all go to yeah for and thank
00:04:47.260 it's not a movie you're not the main character not in a movie and uh whenever i talk about
00:04:55.080 uh nasa and the moon landings the apollo program the latest the artemis ship going around the moon
00:05:02.280 i get so much crap from people go oh really you still believe in that one lol you you dummy or
00:05:09.260 uh what nothing i've seen from the we never went to the moon or flat earth which is even more
00:05:16.720 ridiculous idiots nothing i've seen has made me go huh no well now that's interesting because
00:05:22.860 everything i've seen has been scientifically debunked and not because someone told me
00:05:30.040 i did my own research and scientifically it works out to a certain conclusion uh and i've never seen
00:05:38.180 anything scientific about the uh conspiratorial side you understand that if it was if the earth
00:05:43.860 was flat every ship captain and every pilot on earth would have to be in on it and they are
00:05:51.440 They believe it.
00:05:52.960 That every pilot knows that they can't fly beyond a certain thing
00:05:56.800 or they're going to zip off into space?
00:05:58.760 Yeah, where do they go?
00:06:01.380 Then they just lie.
00:06:02.760 They blatantly lie.
00:06:03.520 You know, that's why the South Pole is off limits.
00:06:05.520 It's not.
00:06:06.960 People go there.
00:06:08.000 There's expeditions.
00:06:09.040 There's places set up where you could live and do research.
00:06:13.700 And the moon thing is ridiculous because you think Apollo 11,
00:06:19.540 they finally get to the moon now if it's fake you'd get back and go holy jesus i cannot believe
00:06:26.620 we pulled it off everyone believes it yeah what should we do go back five or six more times let's
00:06:33.100 roll the dice for no apparent reason you did it everyone's convinced but let's do it so many more
00:06:40.380 times that people might catch on and involve a lot more a lot more people and then 60 years later
00:06:47.840 you go let's do it again with artemis let's get a whole new generation of people that have to keep
00:06:54.320 their mouths shut yeah and these the group four astronauts go around the moon and uh they have to
00:07:00.120 be quiet and we have to new technology of cgi and this why would you do that what's the upside and
00:07:06.260 listen we're going to ask someone from nasa to do it let's go to stanley kubrick yeah let's go to
00:07:12.840 kubrick one of the biggest directors on earth he'll keep his mouth shut he'll keep his mouth
00:07:17.540 shut and we might not recognize his directing style absolutely how many kubrick movies have
00:07:22.780 come out before that that have a kubrick look a directing style and you're going to use someone
00:07:29.100 with such a unique style to do something to fool everyone that it isn't the first
00:07:34.160 your son is attempting to bring an outside astronaut into this situation
00:07:39.700 yeah they honestly it doesn't make sense it doesn't work out i'm not just doing it as a
00:07:49.340 gatekeeper i'm saying it because science tells me this is this this actually if you use the
00:07:56.340 term gatekeeper out there just know this you're stupid it's an annoying unless you're literally
00:08:00.720 a gate exactly she worked with gates keeping a gate yeah maybe you work with bill you know
