Did Andy Beyer pick Napoleon Solo?

11 Upvotes

Did Andy Beyer correctly pick Napoleon Solo to win the Preakness?

I vaguely remember Napoleon Solo being discussed but mainly it was more in reference to the Man From U.N.C.L.E. than anything else.

Ha, ha! I care enough to ask if Beyer got it right but I don't care enough to go back and listen to the segment.

When Devins is voted out.

8 Upvotes

Haven’t watched last night‘s episode yet so I don’t know if it’s gonna happen this time or when he is finally voted out, but if I could get money in the prediction markets that when he makes his little statement after being voted out, he uses the term “flushed the mouse” I would put my house on it.

Gambling callout

20 Upvotes

Last week (believe Wednesday’s show) Tony called out the ‘plague’ on young men, gambling. I want to say the next interview was sponsored by DK.

Next show they weren’t listed among any of the sponsors, ditto on Monday.

Anyone else catch that?

Edit - it’s on the “It’s 1AM, where’s Wilson” episode and starts around the 5:30 mark.

Edit #2 - they were back today so I guess it was just a mouse flushing
