4:11
Speaker 1: don't bury the lead. Our to Our lead this hour is.
4:15
Speaker 4: From the Notorious One.
4:19
Speaker 1: We have the post mortem on the big UFC event
4:22
Speaker 1: this past weekend. We talked a little bit the other
4:25
Speaker 1: day about the event and the fallout from that. People
4:29
Speaker 1: upset and didn't stop them from watching the recent UFC
4:34
Speaker 1: three twenty nine. How many total viewers did they have?
4:39
Speaker 1: According to the survey says they had fifteen point nine
4:45
Speaker 1: million total viewers. Fifteen point nine total million viewers across
4:49
Speaker 1: the US and Latin America. See the numbers a little skewed,
4:53
Speaker 1: and you include Latin America. What are the numbers just
4:56
Speaker 1: in America? In North America here, Well, we don't know,
4:59
Speaker 1: but they include Latin America. So fifteen point nine million
5:03
Speaker 1: on the paramount plus app thing, IM a jig. And
5:08
Speaker 1: that was all fueled by Connor McGregor, his first fight
5:11
Speaker 1: in more than five years. I don't know if you saw
5:13
Speaker 1: any of this or not. The report card for UFC.
5:17
Speaker 1: So the event they tell us sent a paramount plus
5:21
Speaker 1: record for concurrent streams, that's a thing. They peaked at
5:27
Speaker 1: eight point three million, eight point three million viewers, making
5:31
Speaker 1: the making it the second biggest live streaming event for
5:36
Speaker 1: that app. The paramount plus app since the only one
5:40
Speaker 1: bigger would be the Super Bowl super Bowl fifty eight,
5:43
Speaker 1: the only one bigger. Now, despite the massive audience for
5:48
Speaker 1: UFC three twenty nine, it did not break the record
5:51
Speaker 1: held just a few weeks back the White House event
5:55
Speaker 1: for the UFC there back in June, which had seventeen
5:58
Speaker 1: million total viewers they claim, and averaged eight point two
6:03
Speaker 1: viewers on average for President Trump's birthday thing there. So
6:08
Speaker 1: there is.
6:09
Speaker 4: That the event that just took place.
6:11
Speaker 1: There's a lot of numbers here to just kind of
6:12
Speaker 1: bear with me, average about six and a half minuton,
6:15
Speaker 1: so about a million point seven less from one of
6:19
Speaker 1: the others. The story here, don't again, the story is this,
6:22
Speaker 1: it's a massive rating for the notorious one UFC three
6:28
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Also, we are told set a record for
6:31
Speaker 1: the all time gate for a promotion for Dana White
6:35
Speaker 1: and the UFC. So that's a good jumping off point.
6:39
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question Connor McGregor historic UFC return.
6:45
Speaker 1: I say that with a linking or not set a
6:48
Speaker 1: record for paramount plus and the gate was also a record. However,
6:53
Speaker 1: what is the moral of the story. What is the
6:56
Speaker 1: moral of the story. So I've got mac football. We've
7:02
Speaker 1: got some red hot Tiger Bomb and Don King, and
7:08
Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together. They have never
7:11
Speaker 1: been combined together before, and we are going to have
7:15
Speaker 1: a delicious, wonderful pull boy sandwich is what we're gonna.
7:20
Speaker 4: Have, all right, So first of all, this is simple.
7:22
Speaker 1: You ask, what's the moral of the Connom McGregor story.
7:26
Speaker 1: Even after a very long sabbatical, very long sabbatical where
7:30
Speaker 1: he became an alcohol salesman, Cono McGregor is still appointment viewing.
7:36
Speaker 1: He is. He's a pointment viewing. You know that. I
7:38
Speaker 1: know that, And did this performance in UFC three twenty
7:42
Speaker 1: nine live up to the hype?
7:43
Speaker 4: Hard pass? Hard pass?
7:45
Speaker 1: However?
7:46
Speaker 4: It validated you know, I got me to check it out.
7:49
Speaker 1: And firstly, he didn't last that long. It validated though
7:53
Speaker 1: that his magnetic one man spectacle is a guaranteed revenue maker.
8:01
Speaker 1: Even now, even after all this time away and even
8:04
Speaker 1: a broken down shell of what notorious one had been,
8:11
Speaker 1: it still has that milkshake ability to bring all the
8:15
Speaker 1: boys to the stream, all the boys down to the stream.
8:18
Speaker 1: I consider the malor math on this the gate. I
8:22
Speaker 1: did some ole of the math, so they they claim
8:24
Speaker 1: they being the UFC people, they the gate was twenty
8:29
Speaker 1: six point four million they had, that's how much money
8:33
Speaker 1: they made. They had twenty thousand, seventy six fans at
8:36
Speaker 1: T Mobile Arena there in lost wages Nevada. So if
8:40
Speaker 1: you do the math, twenty six point four million, twenty thousand,
8:44
Speaker 1: seventy six fans. So, if my math is correct, that's
8:47
Speaker 1: over thirteen hundred dollars per fan. Per fan, over thirteen
8:52
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on average. Obviously some paid a lot more,
8:54
Speaker 1: some paid less, but the number on average, if you
8:59
Speaker 1: do the the communists of the Socialist Way, it's a
9:02
Speaker 1: thirteen point one point three thousand per customer at the
9:08
Speaker 1: arena in Vegas. Now was the pre fight hype of
9:11
Speaker 1: good investment? Hell no. Max Holloway ended the comeback of
9:17
Speaker 1: McGregor in just sixty nine seconds after connor suffered a
9:22
Speaker 1: leg injury. Clearly, Connor McGregor is a fan of MAC football.
9:28
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Why would you like mac football?
9:29
Speaker 1: He's not from here. He doesn't like mac football. Well,
9:32
Speaker 1: he does like UMass because he is officially an honorary
9:36
Speaker 1: member of the Minute Men. What a night.
9:39
Speaker 4: Sixty nine seconds one minute and nine seconds.
9:42
Speaker 1: And regardless of the numbers that you can poke fun of,
9:47
Speaker 1: that sixty nine second thing. The overall big picture, McGregor
9:52
Speaker 1: remains the biggest, brightest star the mainstream draw and it
9:59
Speaker 1: upset it's the UFC people because they think everyone's a
10:02
Speaker 1: star in the UFC, that everyone's famous, and everyone knows
10:05
Speaker 1: who these people are, and most people don't.
10:07
Speaker 4: There's the hardo's that do they know, but most people don't.
10:11
Speaker 1: And McGregor has had the ability a lot of it's
10:13
Speaker 1: because of that fight with Mayweather, that sham fight years ago.
10:17
Speaker 1: He's been able to cross over and pretty much everyone
10:21
Speaker 1: else there's a couple that have, but most have not.
10:24
Speaker 1: In the UFC, and even after a five year absence
10:27
Speaker 1: and a fugaise sixty nine second loss, McGregor reminding everyone
10:34
Speaker 1: that he is still the Taylor Swift of combat sports.
10:38
Speaker 1: His ability to move product is there all right now. Secondly,
10:42
Speaker 1: we go back to Lebron Land, a follow up to
10:45
Speaker 1: the follow up to the follow up. Lebron James made
10:47
Speaker 1: a bold longevity claim during this live podcast thing for
10:53
Speaker 1: friends and family and fun boys. Those fun boys who
10:59
Speaker 1: attended this sports member of Billia Thingham, a jig in
11:03
Speaker 1: New York. Lebron said he could average ten points per
11:10
Speaker 1: game in the NBA until he is sixty five years old.
11:17
Speaker 1: Say what now he had his tongue in his cheek,
11:20
Speaker 1: or did he? Lebron said, quote, I could average ten
11:22
Speaker 1: points per game in the league for a long time,
11:25
Speaker 1: like sixty five or something like that. He then joked,
11:29
Speaker 1: he said he knew the formula. He said, three layups
11:32
Speaker 1: and four foul shots gets you to ten points. He
11:35
Speaker 1: then added a complaint. Lebron said that he does not
11:40
Speaker 1: get foul calls the way that he did. He said,
11:43
Speaker 1: don't get foul calls on him anymore, so he gets
11:46
Speaker 1: those free charity shots. Of course that's not that's not
11:50
Speaker 1: true that he Lebron wants you to believe that he
11:52
Speaker 1: does not get favoritism. Okay, question, how would you classify
11:57
Speaker 1: Lebron James saying that he could average ten points per
12:01
Speaker 1: game at age sixty five?
12:04
Speaker 4: So this isn't just like confidence. It's Planet Ego.
12:08
Speaker 1: It's the weather on Planet Ego, the weather patterns on there,
12:13
Speaker 1: and it's cruising for a bruising down Bravado Boulevard and
12:18
Speaker 1: talking like he's Benjamin Button with a jump shot and
12:22
Speaker 1: the smoothie on Lebron is always equal parts hubris and
12:27
Speaker 1: just a little dab of humor, just a little touch
12:31
Speaker 1: of humor, a lot of hubris. He believes he's exempt
12:35
Speaker 1: from biology, and yeah, it's megala mania, I believe is
12:41
Speaker 1: the term for that. And he's already slowing down in
12:45
Speaker 1: his early forties forty one, imagine tacking on another twenty
12:51
Speaker 1: four years. Obviously he's exaggerating here, but at sixty five,
12:55
Speaker 1: I have a crystal ball as a distant relative of
13:00
Speaker 1: a Nostra Damis and friend of nos Radinas. Lebron is
13:03
Speaker 1: not averaging points at age sixty five. He's averaging doctor visits,
13:08
Speaker 1: tiger bomb containers, legacy podcast and ten minute arguments with
13:14
Speaker 1: the thermostat. That's what he will be doing at age
13:17
Speaker 1: sixty five. That is your future. Come on down now,
13:22
Speaker 1: Is it true that we have already had a senior
13:26
Speaker 1: citizen playing in the NBA in years gone by? I
13:30
Speaker 1: would like to give you a not a salad bowl,
13:33
Speaker 1: a mad Newt Bowl. One of my favorite stories of
13:36
Speaker 1: all time, and I was just beginning my run in
13:41
Speaker 1: the media business and Manut Bowl was at the very
13:44
Speaker 1: end of his career, so pass crossed in the middle
13:49
Speaker 1: of the night. Or the LA Memorial Sports Arena, which
13:52
Speaker 1: has been dumped and destroyed is now a soccer stadium.
13:56
Speaker 1: But back in the day, Manut was at the end
13:58
Speaker 1: of his career and is one of the three or
14:00
Speaker 1: four tallest people I've ever been around Yao Ming George
14:04
Speaker 1: Mirrason is on that big board, not a list terry
14:09
Speaker 1: in England, a big board. But my nude bowl Manut
14:12
Speaker 1: didn't scare as much because you felt like you could
14:14
Speaker 1: break him in half because he was a twig, very small.
14:18
Speaker 1: He was a very giant man played for a team
14:20
Speaker 1: called the Washington Bullets and a bunch of other teams,
14:23
Speaker 1: so he last played in the NBA. He was listed
14:26
Speaker 1: at age thirty two. However, it is believed that Manu
14:30
Speaker 1: Bowl was possibly twice as old as that, the reason
14:34
Speaker 1: being this was back before the internet when he was
14:38
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. And this college basketball coach and
14:44
Speaker 1: it's an interesting story. Some other people tracked down Minut
14:46
Speaker 1: Bowl from Sudan in Africa. This guy Kevin McKee, you
14:51
Speaker 1: can look this up. I'm not making it up. Kevin mmckee,
14:53
Speaker 1: who was coaching at Cleveland State. Nobody knew how old
14:57
Speaker 1: minut Bowl was because apparently they didn't keep back of
15:00
Speaker 1: birth certificates in the Sudan and he was like raised
15:04
Speaker 1: in a way like he literally would. There was stories
15:05
Speaker 1: about him, who knows what's true or not, but like
15:08
Speaker 1: killing lions out there and whatnot. So nobody knew how
15:13
Speaker 1: old he was, and so they just made up an age.
15:17
Speaker 1: And many believe, including people that played against Man Newpowl,
15:21
Speaker 1: that he was likely at the very least in his
15:23
Speaker 1: mid fifties, if not in his sixties. It's estimated that
15:27
Speaker 1: he could have been born in the early nineteen forties.
15:31
Speaker 1: He last played in the NBA in nineteen ninety five,
15:35
Speaker 1: or possibly even the thirties. They don't know, They don't
15:38
Speaker 1: have no idea anyway, listen either way back to Lebron, So, Lebron,
15:43
Speaker 1: you're forty one, he's worth one point four billion, Pretty
15:47
Speaker 1: sure he'll be. He'll be long gone by then, he'll
15:50
Speaker 1: be annoying us on doing media stuff and god only
15:54
Speaker 1: knows what else. All right, final thought to a piece
15:57
Speaker 1: of silver we go on the Ben Mallory Show. That
16:00
Speaker 1: would be NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who has entered the chat.
16:05
Speaker 1: He says that Caitlin Clark has become a quote political football,
16:10
Speaker 1: the NBA commissioner, arguing the conversation surrounding her has drifted
16:14
Speaker 1: far beyond basketball and become unfairly it's become unfairly politicized.
16:21
Speaker 1: Now Silver made these comments addressing the fallout from that
16:26
Speaker 1: incident with that someone named the Lyssa Thomas. I don't
16:30
Speaker 1: know who it is. She like either jabbed or did
16:33
Speaker 1: like a light punch to the neck the throat of
16:36
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark, and the play was initially not ruled a
16:39
Speaker 1: flagrant fowl. There was a big hull of blue, and
16:43
Speaker 1: then it was later upgraded to that after the pressure
16:46
Speaker 1: from the bots and the algorithm and all that. Now,
16:49
Speaker 1: Adam Silver, the NBA Commissioner, praising Caitlyn Clark, what a
16:54
Speaker 1: wonderful human being and all that. I'm sure, yeah, just
16:57
Speaker 1: a real peach said it's quo quote incredibly unfair. Adam
17:02
Speaker 1: Silver said that she has become the focal point of
17:05
Speaker 1: the broader political cultural debate blah blah blah, and said
17:10
Speaker 1: she should just be allowed to play basketball.
17:12
Speaker 4: Just let her play basketball.
17:15
Speaker 1: So question, you've got NBA Commissioner Adam Silver entering the
17:19
Speaker 1: chat here saying it's incredibly unfair that the WNBA's cat
17:24
Speaker 1: and Clark has become a quote political football close quote.
17:28
Speaker 1: Is this a pity party or a legitimate gripe from
17:34
Speaker 1: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver? So Silver, my advice here on
17:39
Speaker 1: this side of the microphone is stop the woe is
17:41
Speaker 1: me routine. To suggest it's incredibly unfair that Caitlin Clark
17:48
Speaker 1: has become a political football is a four letter word.
17:52
Speaker 1: Not that four letter word, j ok. Let's be real.
17:57
Speaker 1: This is not unfair. It's the the surcharge of fame.
18:02
Speaker 1: It is the sur charge of fames. So you want
18:05
Speaker 1: to be famous, you gotta pay it or you.
18:08
Speaker 4: Play in the shadows.
18:10
Speaker 1: That's it right. And she is a massive celebrity now,
18:14
Speaker 1: she was a big celebrity at IOWA, and it's actually
18:17
Speaker 1: not I don't feel like she's as big a deal
18:19
Speaker 1: in the WNBA.
18:20
Speaker 4: She was more famous at IOWA.
18:21
Speaker 1: Am I wrong on that? I don't think I am?
18:24
Speaker 1: And because of her and her popularity, whether she plays
18:28
Speaker 1: good or not, the money went up in the WNBA.
18:32
Speaker 1: The TV money went up, even though the only people
18:35
Speaker 1: that get an audience, or it's a party of one.
18:37
Speaker 1: The only person that gets an audience is Caitlin Clark.
18:39
Speaker 1: The only person that really gets huge attendants consistently is
18:42
Speaker 1: her massive crowds and lists, endorsements and the spotlight. However,
18:47
Speaker 1: if you want center stage, you got to expect that
18:51
Speaker 1: the upper balcony's gonna toss some tomatoes. They're gonna throw
18:55
Speaker 1: some raspberries at you. And the great boxing hype man
18:58
Speaker 1: Don King taught us that being scrutinized, despised, politicized, traumatized, chastised, analyzed,
19:08
Speaker 1: and moralized along with stigmatized, sensationalized and criticized, is part
19:13
Speaker 1: of the deal. And that was before the Internet. You
19:18
Speaker 1: take the good with the bad, and that's what you
19:21
Speaker 1: have to do. The moment you accept the crown, you
19:24
Speaker 1: are automatically signed up to become endless fodder for the
19:31
Speaker 1: great divide, the racial debates, the culture war, the spotlight burns.
19:37
Speaker 1: You're in the bunker. You're in the bunker there and
19:40
Speaker 1: the controversy cells and you're part of it. And so
19:44
Speaker 1: Clark is a major beneficiary, Caitlin Clark, of the very
19:49
Speaker 1: machine that created the storm and the monsters. So I
19:55
Speaker 1: would just say stop the crying. It's not unfair, Adam Silver,
19:59
Speaker 1: It's modern sports. Now.
20:01
Speaker 4: Do I think what's been going on with her is fair? No,
20:03
Speaker 4: I don't want.
20:03
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot is ridiculous. I don't really
20:05
Speaker 1: pay that much attention. Unless I have nothing else to
20:07
Speaker 1: talk about, then I'll talk about it. But if you
20:09
Speaker 1: want the crown, you gotta stop complaining about the weight
20:12
Speaker 1: of the crown. That's it.
20:14
Speaker 4: It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

27:42
Speaker 1: I don't have him very often, but when I've had him,
27:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not that's not bad. The Stanley Cup
27:47
Speaker 1: also has been filled over the years. There's been all
27:50
Speaker 1: kinds of different food items that have made it into
27:54
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup. And I just thought this was this
27:58
Speaker 1: was interesting. And we've had champagne obviously, when teams win pasta,
28:05
Speaker 1: people have eaten pasta poutine. There's been ice cream and
28:10
Speaker 1: all kinds of other random food dishes. Now you can
28:13
Speaker 1: add those nerd clusters for lords Stanley's Cup. Let's go
28:19
Speaker 1: to the phones, and eenie meenie miney mo. Let's go
28:24
Speaker 1: to Jerome in Charleston, bring it home Jerome. Hello Jerome
28:31
Speaker 1: and Charleston.
28:33
Speaker 6: Hey, I just want to ask you when you heard
28:35
Speaker 6: that Fox was going to pay Tom Brady three hundred
28:39
Speaker 6: million dollars to pretend to be a broadcaster. What was
28:43
Speaker 6: your first reaction? Because mine was, Oh, hell, No, am
28:48
Speaker 6: I listening to the Boys of God? Am I listened
28:51
Speaker 6: to Mahatma Gandhi? Am I listened to the greatest mental
28:55
Speaker 6: person in the world. No, I'm listen to a guy
28:59
Speaker 6: who shood to ask and talked about maybe football, maybe
29:03
Speaker 6: something else. Three hundred million dollars, amverstaken the ragers?
29:09
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, so you asked me a question. Do you
29:11
Speaker 1: want me to do you want me to answer the question, Jerome?
29:14
Speaker 1: Or do you want me to just let you talk?
29:16
Speaker 1: What would you like here?
29:18
Speaker 6: All right?
29:18
Speaker 1: So, ah, it does not affect me at all. I'm
29:22
Speaker 1: not in that world. It's a TV thing. It's we
29:24
Speaker 1: work in the radio. So I have nothing to do
29:26
Speaker 1: with that. And it's not like this is new Howard
29:29
Speaker 1: Cosell back in the eighties talked about it. TV has
29:31
Speaker 1: always been infected with jockocracy. TV people love hiring jocks.
29:36
Speaker 1: They're not broadcasters. Not they're not trained broadcasters, but that's
29:39
Speaker 1: just what they like. They like that, and I don't.
29:42
Speaker 4: That's fine.
29:42
Speaker 1: They can hi whoever they want. And you know, we've
29:44
Speaker 1: got so many meathead athletes on television and they keep
29:47
Speaker 1: getting these jobs, not on merit, not because they're good broadcasters,
29:51
Speaker 1: because TV executives and people that work at these different
29:55
Speaker 1: networks love athletes and they love hanging out with athletes
29:59
Speaker 1: and advertise I said, the big problem is the advertising world.
30:01
Speaker 1: They love athletes too, and we'll see if that continues
30:04
Speaker 1: in the future. But these guys, a lot of it
30:07
Speaker 1: is you get whined and dine like you get a
30:09
Speaker 1: big TV contract, and the network executives regardless of whether
30:13
Speaker 1: you're good or not, it doesn't matter.
30:14
Speaker 4: It's how many trophies you want and all that.
30:17
Speaker 1: And every once in a while they realize, this guy's
30:19
Speaker 1: so bad, we got to get rid of him. Remember
30:21
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, Joe Montana did broadcasting was terrible. So they
30:25
Speaker 1: got rid of those guys. But it's fine, I mean,
30:27
Speaker 1: good for Tom Brady make a lot of money. I'd
30:29
Speaker 1: like somebody to be stupid enough to pay me that
30:30
Speaker 1: kind of money. I'd love it. Be wonderful.
30:33
Speaker 6: Goat ol manvil Harbert. Hey, look here, if you kept
30:37
Speaker 6: three hundred million dollars, I would personally flout to California.
30:43
Speaker 1: Are you are such a liar? I was in Charleston, Jerome, Jerome.
30:48
Speaker 1: I was in Charleston. I was a couple of blocks
30:51
Speaker 1: from you, basically, and you didn't show up. We literally
30:55
Speaker 1: did a mallard meet and greet. My niece was graduating
30:58
Speaker 1: from school in Charleston. I was there. We were right there.
31:01
Speaker 1: We had a great mallard meet and greet. This is
31:02
Speaker 1: a nice bar there, and you didn't even show And
31:05
Speaker 1: I even offered to like like buying food and stuff,
31:08
Speaker 1: and you didn't.
31:08
Speaker 6: Don't drink that, don't smoke. Do you need to drinking?
31:11
Speaker 6: That'll smoke?
31:12
Speaker 1: I said, that's not what I hear. That's not what
31:18
Speaker 1: I hear, Jerome, that's not what I hear.
31:22
Speaker 6: A couple of weeks ago, you're talking about Breto. I
31:25
Speaker 6: can't watch him anymore, Okay, I can't deal with him.
31:29
Speaker 6: Seventy seven? Where you talking about Lebron returerant Hey, Lebron,
31:34
Speaker 6: you see Lebarn Jerome?
31:36
Speaker 1: Are you really, Jerome Jerome? Are you in a position
31:39
Speaker 1: to rip people that are seventy How old are you, Jerome?
31:44
Speaker 6: Seventy next month?
31:45
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're almost seven.
31:47
Speaker 4: So that's like ripping a contemporary.
31:49
Speaker 1: Why would you do that?
31:50
Speaker 6: No, he's not a contemporary. Oh yeah, within seven years
31:54
Speaker 6: of it. Now, this guy played on four Super Bowl teams.
31:58
Speaker 6: He's been making money.
31:59
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. He's a human being. He was born, He'll die.
32:03
Speaker 1: He puts his clothes on one leg at a time,
32:05
Speaker 1: puts his socks on one at a time. He's just
32:07
Speaker 1: a person, that's all he is. He just we put
32:09
Speaker 1: these guys on pedestals who cares their human beings.
32:12
Speaker 4: I didn't actually knew Bradshaw for a while back. He
32:15
Speaker 4: did radio and he's a good dude, nice guy. Terry Bradshaw,
32:18
Speaker 4: very nice man.
32:19
Speaker 6: She's a nice girl. Children And still on TV Donalds

Speaker 1: I don't watch that. All right, thank you, I got
32:40
Speaker 1: to go, drill. Let's go to Andre in the Commonwealth,
32:43
Speaker 1: the Great Andre Andre. Andre. Hello, Andre, good evening, Good morning, Ben,
32:50
Speaker 1: It's good to be with you.
32:51
Speaker 7: Listen, we can have our broadcasters. You know, it doesn't
32:55
Speaker 7: matter if they're collecting a RP. You know. I look
32:58
Speaker 7: at somebody like, uh, Lisa Cone right uh.
33:02
Speaker 4: Over there, I think she I think she was.
33:06
Speaker 1: Uh, I think she got ejected. I think she's done,
33:08
Speaker 1: But yeah she was. I don't hold you. They won
33:11
Speaker 1: seventy seven, but uh yeah for sure.
33:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember Linda, you know during the uh, during
33:16
Speaker 7: the Wonder years, you know, when I was a young
33:18
Speaker 7: Warhawk coming up through through through through the ranks in
33:21
Speaker 7: the Sandlot days. And uh, she's still going strong, making
33:25
Speaker 7: the contribution. So I don't have an issue.
33:27
Speaker 1: When I was back when people actually watched Sports Center.
33:29
Speaker 1: That was back in the days, people actually watched it
33:31
Speaker 1: a long time ago.
33:33
Speaker 6: Oh it was.
33:33
Speaker 7: Musty, it was musty TV. You know, Hey day is School,
33:37
Speaker 7: Stuart Scott and boo Yeah, so on and fourth. So
33:40
Speaker 7: we got we got a hold on you know what
33:41
Speaker 7: I mean, like like like like we learned in the
33:43
Speaker 7: Collen Brothers film. I always like to hear about the
33:46
Speaker 7: old timers. Okay, never missed a chance to do so
33:49
Speaker 7: never ever. Now, look, uh, Caitlin Clark, you know, I
33:52
Speaker 7: you know, she's uh political football. I can see that
33:56
Speaker 7: when her Q rating is quite high, right, Ben, Okay,
33:58
Speaker 7: so we don't we can't have wait listen to WNBA
34:02
Speaker 7: Sophie Cunningham. You want your six hundred thousand dollars, Okay,
34:05
Speaker 7: you half a million dollars right, the spreading of the
34:09
Speaker 7: wealth of the players. So you got to get out
34:11
Speaker 7: there and you have to be a part of, you know,
34:13
Speaker 7: some some tough situations, you know, a little bit of
34:15
Speaker 7: the cultural war, but that's not the majority, but just
34:18
Speaker 7: a little bit, you know. But the overarching point is
34:21
Speaker 7: we're talking about the WNBA. People are going to the
34:23
Speaker 7: WNBA games and appreciating this league built under the capable
34:27
Speaker 7: leadership of a one mister David Stearns. Back in nineteen
34:30
Speaker 7: ninety seven when the Houston Conference won the championship, Shout
34:33
Speaker 7: out to TEENA Thompson, Shout out to Ryl's woops on
34:36
Speaker 7: that team. Okay, so this is a long time coming.
34:38
Speaker 7: We can't allow ourselves to lose it, you know. And again,
34:42
Speaker 7: true Hoopers support the WNBA. But in the mix of that,
34:46
Speaker 7: there's going to be some difficult to Kaitlyn Clark, I
34:49
Speaker 7: sympathize to a certain extent. But at the other side,
34:52
Speaker 7: you know you are standing on this is honestly, you
34:55
Speaker 7: are standing on the shoulders of giants and great I'm
34:58
Speaker 7: talking about the Medina Dixons to the world world here
35:00
Speaker 7: in the common Wealth. I'm also talking about the Cheryl
35:03
Speaker 7: Miller's of the world, who we never got to see
35:05
Speaker 7: in a women's professional league. So that's in the legacy
35:08
Speaker 7: that you're caring.
35:09
Speaker 1: The problem is, it's nice, it's a nice sentiment to say,
35:11
Speaker 1: but nobody cared about the w where those women played.
35:14
Speaker 4: They care about Caitlyn Clark.
35:15
Speaker 1: So it's it's always like, well what about the people
35:18
Speaker 1: before you as well?
35:18
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter nobody watched them.
35:21
Speaker 1: Trust me, there was no The league should have gone
35:23
Speaker 1: out of business in like two thousand, if if not earlier.
35:28
Speaker 4: It should have gone bankrupt.
35:29
Speaker 1: And if it wasn't funded by the NBA, it would
35:31
Speaker 1: have gone bankrupt. With all those people playing, nobody cared.
35:36
Speaker 4: And the only time they get is Caitlyn Clark.
35:39
Speaker 1: That's it. And you know, hey, listen, they want to
35:41
Speaker 1: run I hope they run her out of the WNB.
35:43
Speaker 1: I hope they run her out to go letter goal
35:45
Speaker 1: play in Europe somewhere and then we'll go back to
35:47
Speaker 1: ignoring the WNBA, and then we can celebrate all the
35:50
Speaker 1: legends of the WNBA. Uh and no one will what
35:54
Speaker 1: you're saying.
35:54
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's your show, and I got a
35:57
Speaker 7: little bit of time left. Listen. We are the members
36:00
Speaker 7: of the All American League. We come from city near
36:04
Speaker 7: and far, shut out to Penny Marshall, shut out to
36:06
Speaker 7: a league of their own. Okay, if it wasn't hard,
36:09
Speaker 7: everybody would do it. The hard is what makes it great.
36:11
Speaker 7: We need a WNBA dog line, and we need women's sports.
36:15
Speaker 7: And it was great movie then and it's great now.
36:17
Speaker 7: I understand where you're coming from, but I'm pos down.
36:20
