  Speaker 1: trying to think who told me that was King Roy

• 2:58
  Speaker 1: those guys said, what about express employment professionals? Well, if

• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Express employment professionals canet skilled machinist, welders, and technicians with
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: contract and full time manufacturing jobs. So our lead this out.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Play the hits, mall man, play the hits. We're gonna
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna change it up a little bit. We talk
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of football, mostly football. We're gonna have some
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: baseball this hour. There's a story that I thought was
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: someone interesting, and since I have the editorial control, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: wanted to spend a couple of minutes yapping about it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Why not? Who says no, So we'll go to baseball.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: The story that is getting a lot of attention is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. It does not involve the team in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis. It was the opponent the Redbirds were playing Texas.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And if you didn't see what happened in this one,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: perhaps not the ace Jacob de Gram with a lower
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: case D. Jacob Dgram longtime met been with the Rangers
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of years. So Jacob de Gram tossed five
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: scoreless innings and he picked up his one hundredth career win.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: The Rangers edged the Cardinals two to one in Saint Louis.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And so the two time Sally Young winner, who had
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: his glory days, his salad days with the Metropolitans, he
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: is a polarizing player now, not because he says crazy
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: stuff or does crazy stuff. He's not like that. To
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Gram is the ultimate Hall of Fame test, the Rarshack test,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: if you will, for the Hall of Fame peak god
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: when he was at his very top with the New
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: York Metropolitans, a resume that looks like someone ripped out
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the middle six chapters of his Cooperstown story. And so
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping on point. Let us discuss
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the question. Is Texas Rangers starter Jacob de Gram on
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: track for immortality in the Hall of Fame. So I've
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: got teletubbies surgeon General's warning, and we also have if
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that was not enough, we have the always popular pulled muscle.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And we'll combine all of these things together and we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are going to go to a Hail Mary. Play is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do. So, first of all, to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: answer the question, is Texas Rangers starter Jacob de Gram
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: on track for the Hall of Fame. I will be
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the adult in the room and the answer is hell, no,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I am I'm shaking my head. No here. De Gram
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is not a Hall of Famer. The resume is incomplete period. Stop.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That's it now, I'm told we have to go longer
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: than that, so I will expand on my position. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: am sorry, not sorry. He's not a Hall of Famer.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: This is not that complicated. De Gram is a Hall
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of Fame talent, however, not a Hall of Fame pitcher.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He did not have a Hall of Fame career, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that's the issue. He's got two Cy youngs, and while
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: those are great accolades, they do not erase the fact
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that the mand's barely pitched. He's barely pitched. Longevity still matters,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: especially in baseball where guys regularly if you're really good,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you played ten plus years in the big leagues and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you're fully vested in the baseball pench you cannot be
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a part time legend and expect a plaque. You just can't.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And de graam. You know what he's his career is like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's like going back to the year two thousand and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: getting McDonald's Happy Meal, right, you get a happy Meal there,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, I get the Ferby one or the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Teletubbies one. What doesn't really matter. It's a limited run.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: That's Jacob de not around for that long. You got
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to go there for like the month that's out there,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and then that's it. And he is the top pitcher
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you've barely seen pitched. That is the gram in a nutshell,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: putting together a limited edition sample size. That's it. Now.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Sure he was dominant those of us the Washington pitch
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for the Mets back in the day, but dominance isn't
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the same as a Hall of Fame career. And the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: only reason he's even considered a borderline Hall of Fame
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: guy Jacob Grom at this point is because standards have
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: been lowered and they're putting stiffs like Carlos Beltron in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. The cheater and other steroid guys
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: are in the Hall of Fames. Well, we're gonna keep
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: some guys out because their story. Guys put these other
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: guys in because we liked them, and they didn't necessarily
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: get caught red handed like some other and so the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: standards have been lowered. But if you were to put
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: de Gram in, that would be an all time low.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: He simply doesn't meet the threshold. He doesn't and pete
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: dominance does not override missing half of your career. Just
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: not the case. And we mentioned earlier we were talking
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: about the pitcher in the modern times, the pitcher that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: made the Hall of Fame with the fewest wins is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a guy named Dizzy Dean who won one hundred and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: fifty games. So de Gram to just get to that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: very low baseline, which i is a one hundred. If
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you're decent, you should win one hundred and fifty games.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Oh wins don't matter, bor okay, thank you. So to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: answer the question, he's not going to meet that threshold,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that peak dominance yet. Great. The problem is if he
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: retired today, this is what It's a bar argument. It's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: not a plaque. It's guys eating beer nuts and drinking
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: sabruskis and saying, hey what about that? No de Gram
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: would need using malormath. He's got the rest of this year,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: which is about halfway a well, not quite halfway. We're
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: getting close, all right. Another month will be halfway. So
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we're certainly past the first marker of the baseball season,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: which just happened a few days ago. So de Graham
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: would have to win a bunch of games this year.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: He would also have to play relatively well and pitch
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: great over the next couple of seasons. And the Rangers
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: would have to be good. They're pretty mediocre, the Texas
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Rangers this year. To Gram's also in his late thirties,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and so the math ain't mathing on that. It's it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: not good all right. Now, speaking of bad math, we
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: go to the labor front in Major League Baseball where
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: MLBPA interim executive. That's a mouthful. This guy named Bruce Meyer.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: He criticized the owners. There's a shock, the guy running
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the union criticizing the owners. It's almost like when the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: owners criticized the players. Anyway. The guy running the union
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: claimed that the hard salary cap of two hundred and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: forty five million proposed by the owners and a hard
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: salary for of one hundred and seventy one million. He
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: claimed that under that system, players would lose approximately five
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars five hundred million dollars in compensation if implemented.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: So the question is the union, the baseball players Union
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: is out there going around doing media interviews claiming that
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: players would lose, as we said, five hundred million dollars
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: under the labor proposal by ownership. How do you process that?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: All right? So this is another situation where you can
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: manipulate the numbers. The old president Bush back in the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: day saying fuzzy math that would apply here. So the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: union saw five hundred million, they did the math, their
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: version of math, and they basically said, okay, so we're
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: doing fiction. Now, we're gonna do some fiction. That's how
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that's gonna go. And perfect. Now, honestly, the proposal is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: so bad. How bad is it? Thank you for asking.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. So it's so bad it should come
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: with a surgeon general's warning, all right, surgeon general's warning.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And the owners love to cry poverty. They can't do
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it enough. And there are some uneducated people that always
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: buy it. And I remember years ago, when I was
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: doing the Dodger stuff, I was not friends but acquaintances
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: with this guy named Scott Morris, who was the most
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: powerful man in baseball, and this was a round the times.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: How long ago this conversation happened. Baseball was planting a story.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of people forgotten about this. They were gonna
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: contract the Montreal Expos and I think it was the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins. They were just gonna get rid of those teams.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: There were too many teams in baseball and they were
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: gonna get rid all not having Now, they Expos ended
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: up moving to Washington, d c. And became the Nationals,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Twins got their new ballpark, and so
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they as he didn't do it, they were threatening. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I remember having a conversation with Scott and he was
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: explaining how at this was probably twenty five more than
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that years ago, and Scott was going through the whole
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: thing about how it has never been a baseball team
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that has sold for less money. Players, you know, they
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: get paid what they get paid, but the owners make
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: their money while they own the team, But they make
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the big payout is when they sell the team. And
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he was giving me a bunch of numbers and all that,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and I still remember that conversation because here we are
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: all these years later and nothing's changed. Has there been
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a baseball team that has sold for less money than
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it was purchased for. The economy I know in radio sucks.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the rest of you, but it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: not great. And so you know that's where I am.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And so these guys love to say, oh, we're poor.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You know, they're frugal. I get it. And frugality is
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like a religion, if you know sports Syman. Again, dumb
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: people by it. They believe these guys, and we can't compete.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: We have no chance. Of course, the counter argument is
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you just don't want to compete, dummies. The podres are
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the gold standard. The padres are the gold standard. Here
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: living proof that you can be in a smaller market.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: You think, and I worked in San Diego. San Diego
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you've got if you think about geography wise, you've got
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: La Orange County to the north, so the Angels and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Dodgers of the north. If you go west of San Diego,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it's dead until you get to Arizona, and then it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: more desert, and then more desert and then more desert.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: If you go south, you're in Mexico. And if you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: go to the if you actually acually, if you go east,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you're in Arizona. If you go west, you're in the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean. So I was off by one one degree. Yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: but so Arizona to the to the to the east,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and then to the west you've got the Pacific Ocean.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: So there's not a lot to play with. But the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: podres are and it's been aristocrats spending a lot of money.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And they're in a small mart Pittsburgh. They don't spend
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: any money. They're tight wads there in Pittsburgh, and they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: just choose not to. They have an owner that's just
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: collecting money and he's keeping that as an ATM machine,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and that's it. And so when the owners cry poverty,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the players are like, okay, they said, open the books,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and what do the owners say? No chance. So it's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a game of chicken, block, block, chicken. We'll see who
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: blinks first. And the owners have the option at any
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: time they can open up the books and say, listen,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you are so poor, Oh my god, fifteen teams are
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: losing money, and here are the books. And if they
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: can prove it and have it vetted, then I am
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of the position that the players would be willing to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: work with the owners. If that's truly the case, of course,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the reality is not. It's all bull crap. That's the reality,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: all right, And that's why they won't open up the books.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Basketball had to open up the books. Football had to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: open up the financials. And of course that's it because
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers a lot of that stuff's available anyway.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: That's the point. And the salary cap is a non starter.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And I agree with the players on that. And you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Once you give that mechanism,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the salary cap, to the owners, you'll never ever get
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it back. It's never getting back. It's just like taxes,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: right this election day in a lot of places today, right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and a lot of you idiots are going to vote
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: for propositions that raise taxes, and they'll say, hey, this
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is a one time tax, or that's it, or it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: just this small percentage, and those taxes will never go away.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Your great grandkids will be paying those taxes, and the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: percentage of tax will go higher. The great example of that,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: if you've read about it, and I want to if
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I spend too much time talking about taxes, it's a problem.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But the federal income tax when that started, it was
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: very controversial, right America was much smaller. Most people didn't pay,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: as I understand I remember reading about this. Most people
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: did not pay the federal income tax, and the top
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: people that did was like one percent, one percent, like
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: for rich people. And now we're gonna puish the ring. Well,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: here we are all these over one hundred years whatever
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it is, since they put that in later, and now
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's at twenty two percent. For most people
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that have a reasonable job, it's twenty two percent or greater.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So if you give them an inch, give them an inch,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: they're going to take a mile. And the players know it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: And so the games have begun. All right. Now final thought,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: we go now to the business of shoes. Now I'm
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: not a shoe guy. I got some friends that are
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: shoe guys, So big news in that world. Stephan Curry
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: announcing what they're calling a landmark ten year sneaker deal
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: with a Chinese brand, Leaning is the name. I've never
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: heard of this, of course I don't live in China.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: This sparked a variety of reactions from way to go, Steph,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to you effing sellout, You've gone to China, you monster
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: like that? You know those over the top reactions of
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: some people. So many insiders though, immediately speculated that it
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: is a billion dollar deal, that Steph Curry's going to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: get a billion dollars from this Chinese company to sell sneakers.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So the question do you buy or sell by or
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: sell that Steph Curry has a billion dollar agreement with
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: this Chinese shoe deal, that's the question. So I'm gonna
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: be Benny bright Side for Steph Currey. Personally, I buy it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I absolutely buy it, And I did some malor math
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: on this. There's a theme. And for those of you
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that are like, well, you didn't get a billion do listen,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you can, you can do that. Don't pull a muscle.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Try not to pull a muscle trying to downplay this.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's really a statement about leverage. It's some of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the comparisons are ridonculous, So I would like to address
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: some of that stuff. But people are calling this so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it's a legacy move and all that they're comparing it. Though.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: The thing that really got under my my crawl, whatever
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that is, is they they're like, well, the Curry brand
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: is now because of this deal, they're going to be
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like the Jordan brand at Curry brand is going to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: turn into what the Jordan brand is and globally, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen just like the Jordan brands global thing.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: This is going to be global too. That's a bit much.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: That's a bit much Jordan. And the difference is obviously
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a different time, a different time back in the day
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Uh and Jordan built the brand. When Jordan started with Nike,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he was not the greatest of all time. Obviously he
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was becoming that. And the Bulls were pretty bad. They
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs a couple times, I remember, with losing records,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and so Jordan as Nike was going alongside with those
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: annoying commercials with Spike Lee, who's still a nick fantenboy
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: at age sixty nine. But they the whole point of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that was that Jordan grew, Nike grew, and the next thing,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you know, Jordan was the greatest thing ever and Nike
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: became the biggest thing ever in that department. And so
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: it's much different. Like Steph Curry's already had his career,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: he's at the tail and he's washed up. He's not
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: very good anymore. No Warriors are not gonna win anything
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: with Steph Curry again. And so that's it. He's just
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: playing out in the string. This is the ultimate retirement
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: plan for Steph Curry. It is. This is a trust
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: fund and a global empire. And I did do the mass,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: so Lee Ning leaning the company. I did some research.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: They have a market cap of approximately six point one
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: to six point two billion, so I did the math.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It's a ten year deal Curry signed with his company,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: so it's pretty easy to get to a billion dollars
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: on a ten year deal. So that would be one
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: hundred million a year over ten years. It seems like
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a fair amount for a company worth six billion dollars.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Is trying to obviously get into America and make more
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of an impact in American culture to have Steph Curry. Now,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Curry is getting a lot of cup By the way,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: this is the first shoe deal that comes with a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: financial advisor. Curry's getting a lot of crappier for being
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a sellout and picking China over the US and all that. However,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Steph didn't really pick China over America. He picked all
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of those commas over patriotism. A lot of commas, and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: what do we always say, Everyone's got a price, everybody's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: got a p and Steph Curry sold out, but he
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: got a lot of money for it, so good for him.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And you know this happens. It turns out that if
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you say, well, everyone's got a price, Steph Curry's price
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: is the the yuon right, the Chinese symbol there of money.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: That's what that is. So good for him he's got that.
• 20:19

• 26:50
  Speaker 4: and there's like an older gentleman who's a widower. We're
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: all single, divorced, odd couple on steroids, okay. And so
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: we're listening on the radio because I do radio to
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: the Spurs thunder game seven, and I sit in this
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: tall like the sea chair and the thing collapsed and
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I went to the ground. It was like getting swallowed
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: by a shark. And I hit my back rib on
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: the on the stage.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So your your chair? Were you were you? Were you

  Speaker 4: More of a Motley Cruz story, but it's not. It
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: was embarrassing.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Well, the obvious question is was this the chair? Was

• 27:53
  Speaker 4: that made me laugh is I was laughing so hard
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: earlier that it made me cry because I was like
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: and so hard at what you said about the rabbit ears,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: And the one thing I wanted to say is like,
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: there's so many people that are going on and on
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: and on, but oh I can't do this without streaming
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: this or buying this and buying That's the way it is.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: You know, when I was when I was a youngster
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: growing up, my grandfather had the nineteen inch TV, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the signal will go bad and
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: he would be jerking the rabbit ears like they were
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: leavers that he's going here and there and everywhere.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Right oh yeah, you know.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Landing a landing a plane on an aircraft carrier, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: and you know he would even put like a tinfoil
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: and but once he got that perfect signal, me and
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: my twin brother would be sitting there in awe, like, man,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: the guy just controlled the room like a situation, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: he's like there now you can watch you know, TJ.
