  Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on everyone?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: All right? And Marvin Paul, my full back, and and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: my latest pupil, who's got a book that will be
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on the way probably hopefully in the next few days,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: so by an email.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Just think of it this way, if you ever want
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to play for the Mets one day, take a look
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: at George. He's actually just twenty five years old. You
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: know that's what you look like after you play for
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the Mets.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You know what George is saying, Why is everybody always
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: picking on me? All right, go ahead and say.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Three to three, at least three of us have caps on.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: We we we protect ourselves our heads. Okay, j JJ,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: you're still young enough.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I protect one.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Too, all right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You know I love George, you know that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Alright, you have some words of wisdom for the little man.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Listen, I've already done my duty as an se alumni.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I've been recruiting him since since my first word to him,
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: and I'm looking forward to seeing him on campus.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Oh look you go, all right gg yeah, a lot
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of options and we do too. Let's get this bad
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: boy rolling up with the NFL. The first meeting between
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, who is thirty nine years of age, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll seventy four, is in the books. The fun
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: fact is that head coaches in their thirties are twenty one,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: fifteen and one all time against each other against head
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: coaches in their seventies. The Bears obviously defeated the Raiders
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty four, and in this games, obviously
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you can just take that twenty one and fifteen and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: make it twenty two and fifteen. Also another side note,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith had led the NFL in interceptions with four.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: That was about a couple of weeks ago when they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: were one and one with one TV versus four interceptions. Well,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and modify the stat Okay. Now, Gino
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Smith currently leads the NFL with seven interception Smith thirty
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: four of his two three interception games. That's in weeks
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: two and four. So all right, Shane J. Will let
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you start the topic off. What are your thoughts about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: young versus Old?
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, first off, Scott, thank you so much for having
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: me on and thank you for everyone for the conwords
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: at the beginning. As you just mentioned, you know, Gino
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Smith leads the NFL in interceptions and he hasn't been
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: his best And we saw at Seattle, we've seen it here.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: He's really nothing special. He can manage a game well,
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: but so far this season he's struggled to protect the
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: football and turned it over a lot. And as you mentioned,
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: the young versus old matchup between Pete Carroll with the
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Raiders and then against the Bears, and I thought that
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: the Bears played a pretty solid game.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Uh, you know, came down to the wire there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: Overall, Ashon Genti has been very solid in the run
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: game for the Raiders, and I think that's helped them
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: out a lot and kept them into the game. He
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: had that very long rush for a touchdown there, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: you know, they got a really good draft pick in
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: him from Boise State. But through the receiving game, Gino's
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: not getting the help he has, and I think that's
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: the difference between the two. You know, Caleb Williams being
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: able to find DeAndre Swift out of the backfield multiple
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: times and have that guy he can trust. So overall,
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: I think, you know, the age comparison of young versus old.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: They're both head coaches.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Yes, the game has changed from the start to now,
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: but you know, I think that we can really just
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: see that it doesn't really matter in terms of age.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Very good. I know. One thing it don't matter about
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: your age is you're a break kid. Man starts off
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at tennis. He's four years in the business at fourteenth.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What's something he kept biting. This is the newest people
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on the plot in the program, all right, Marvin.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, JJ said it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Uh, you know, definitely gentry in the run game needs
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: to show up, and you know, had a good game
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: last week in regards to numbers, but I think he
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: started off slow and that hasn't go at all. Seven
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: interceptions is not how you get it done. Pete Carroll
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: is he's he's big on turnovers. You know when he
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: took over the head job, took over the job at
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: USC in his first meeting with the players, the first
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: thing he addressed over everything was how important it is
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: for us to have the ball. With that said, you
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: could look for QB change if this keeps up, because
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: in a seventeen game season, it's so long that you
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: can start off slow and things happen and you know
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: you have some momentum second half of the year. So
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: regardless of how it looks with the numbers, may say
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: the maybe the truth is with so many games left,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: they're still life seven picks this early in the season,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Genal's gonna have to have a much better performance in
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: the next game. In regards to their comparison between young
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: coaches and old I mean, listen, Pete Carroll is an
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: old school guy. You know, he wants to play traditional football,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: running that ball. Ben Johnson's out there with the number
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: one overall draft pick Caleb Williams, who at this point
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: is on pace to be one of the most successful
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: number one overall draft picks of all time, and that
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: through his first twenty one games he has twenty one
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: touchdowns and eight interceptions, which is the best of all
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: the quarterbacks who have been drafted number one. So you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: this is the guy Ben Johnson's out here. They're throwing
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: the ball a little bit, but obviously trying to run
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: behind their running back. That's similar to Pete Carroll in
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: regards to the old school mentality. But but yeah, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: biggest thing here, the biggest difference between these guys is
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: the quarterback that they have at jail seven picks is
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: not good for my man, Pete.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Carroll, no question about it. George.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have too much more to add.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not a big a big guy on
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: age versus youth, but they do have a would you say,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Scott twenty two to fifteen advantage? Now, the young coaches
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: when they meet up with the elder ones.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Those are both both good guys.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Of course, Johnson is brand new as a head coach
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: in the NFL, and he does have a good, very
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: good quarterback there.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know Gino Smith.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: You know, they fall they fall off, these veteran quarterbacks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: You know, they cannot maintain consistency a lot. And he's
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: got to cut down on the intercept. It's no question
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: He can.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: They cannot continue with that. The Raiders. You know, it's
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: just been a it's been a sad, sad situation out
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: there for years and years, whether they're in Oakland or
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: in Las Vegas. But all this to say, Carol's a
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: good coach, but they got to turn this thing around.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: And I agree with you, Marvin.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: If Geno's not the man, you gotta start looking on
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: that depth chart and you got to start thinking about
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: a change.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: That's all I got to say.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Jacob, Yeah, it's just about time. Better go
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: get you better trade for Kirk Cousins, even if you're
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: dealing with that contract seriously, because I mean by itself,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I will say this, he is not a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: super Bowl quarterback. But you can't have especially with Jant
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: running like that. You can't blow the game with three
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: interceptions like that, and they really did. They really should
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: have won that game. Good for the Bears, and yes,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: JJ I am a Bears fan as much as it
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: drives me crazy. Sometimes they had good for the Bears
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: two in a row. I don't see that often, so
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it's that they in truth. In truth, they don't ever
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: have these games. Like the last game I saw that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: was then gone completely wrong and then came back at
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the end was twenty nineteen in Denver. That was the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: last one I ever saw and that's been six years,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: so that doesn't ever go their way. So I am
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it's obvious Ben Johnson was the right choice. I love
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the guy I already have even with the first two losses.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: But overall overall, they're gonna have to make the right
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: decision on this whatsoever. They're gonna have to just trade.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Don't get another guy put in there, because truthfully, with
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that run game, they could get very very dangerous with
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the way they have the run game going. And if
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: they don't get it, and if they do the wrong
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: thing whatsoever, these they're gonna lose certain players, and I
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: can imagine Max Crosby being one of them. They can
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: lose certain players. That's gonna just hurt their future for
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the longest time.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I can't he.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: If you had told me at the beginning of this
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: game that there would be four turnovers by the Raiders,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: that the quarterback ratings for both these quarterbacks for the
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: end of the game were seventy three point three and
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: seventy three, that the Raiders would only lose by one.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I would have been like, are you kidding me? You
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: had four turnovers and you only lose by one? Like
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: it took the Bears that last drive and they scored
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: with what a minute something left to win that game? Yeap,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: that tells me that the difference there was Pete Carroll
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: that he granted they didn't win the game, but they
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: overcame a lot of those turnovers to keep it close
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: like that. That takes a lot.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Now, yes, they have Ashton genty one hundred and thirty
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: eight yards compared to Swift's thirty eight yards for the Bears.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: You know, these are these two teams are not that great.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And I know some of you are real high on Chicago, but.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Who says I'm high on Chicago. I would just tell
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you I was.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Glad to win to Row I know, I know, but
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: you know it was a total The Bears had two
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: hundred and seventy one total yards for the game. We've
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: we've listened to Scott. We were talking to somebody and
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: who was it. There was a team that had four
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards in the first half. Like this
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: is just you know, but kudos to the Bears were
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: pulling it out and winning it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kudos. The one thing I'll say about the Bears
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in their history, they still have never had a four
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: thousand years pastor and well rich.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: That well this year?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Are you sure of that? Yeah?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they still have it up to this point.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking President Kanas tell you.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: The only four thousand it's going to be is the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: amount of colors that he has for his fingernails.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that might be true, He's true. Hey, that's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: not what we're talking. I don't you know, Hey, Jacob.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The bottom line is they still haven't had it yet.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I get it. But the alle is the situation Gino
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Smith is over the hill and through the woods to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: grandmother's house we go. And that's as much of the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: thing as you're going to get until I see otherwise. Yes,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins might be the answer, but then again, with
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: some of the quarterback goes around here. The Falcons might
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: as well keep them. Get whatever they can get for
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: him now, because as the quarterbacks drop, you never know
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: if his value goes up. A lot of more topics
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to get to. We're gonna go down Nyhorn territory. We're
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: going to talk religion. I never talk religion, but I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: will now now that I got everybody's attention. The Chicago
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Whiteside honor Pope Leo. Yes, we have a pope sighting
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: everybody by marketing seat from the World Series to be attended,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and that he attended in two thousand and five near
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: section one point forty that rate field, Robert Pravas sat
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: in road nineteen, seat two, unlike Bob Buker way up there.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: If you want to see the pope seat, go over
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the right field and do that because we have a
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Pope Leo Robert Forcing next to the Chicago White Sox.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: All right, JJ, Well what do you think about the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Pope at rate field? And you're on mute. Until you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: get off of mute, I will get a no comment.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: So you want to comment about the Pope having your
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: place over at right field.
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: Look, I'm not too familiar, you know with the White Sox.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: The whole history.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: What I'm aware of is that, you know, they've been
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: pretty terrible the last few seasons. All the fans in
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Chicago go to the Cubs games, and you know, it's
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: it's hard to watch them because they're always below five hundred,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: and they've been the most dysfunctional franchise in baseball the
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: last ten years. So in terms of the Pope in
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: right field, I wasn't too aware of that. I did
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: see that they had a few staff changes today, a
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: new pitching coach, a new hitting coach, and a new
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: catching coach, which we're all made today, which is you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: at least they're getting some change done in the organization.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: But I don't have too much much on the pope,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: too much information.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Well, don't worry. I understand the nature of your age
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: here that this happened in what was the two thousand
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and five. I'm dealing with a guy who probably wasn't
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: even born then, but he asked just to give you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: some information. That's okay. I told you on Saturday night
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that I was going to throw some different stuff out there.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I get it. But the reality is, as they are
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: honoring them, Okay, the word honor, what they see in
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that particular area that he attended the World series. But
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that's okay. It's good that you gave us a White
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Sox update because nobody would even want to do it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But the fact that you're sharp enough to follow it
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: works for me. Okay, Marvin, Yeah, I mean the Pope
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: is he's the most famous person in the world, I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: would think so, you know, and he has followers in Chicago,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: has a lot of Catholics, and I would think that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: if you could get near the seat or sit in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the seat that he was in now would be special.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You know, we live in a society where celebrity matters.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I think you'd have the same reaction of Taylor Swift's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: thatt in that seat.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm sorry gesture by the socks. Okay,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they have a lot more to do, all right, George,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll have more on this than anybody else
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: because I know that you you definitely are an individual
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: who does the right thing on Sunday, right georgh.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, right, thank you Scott for those the kind words.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: I really, I really really think that it's a great
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: thing not only for the Pope, but a great thing
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: for the White Sox as well, because he's the first
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: American born pope in history and he's a baseball fanatic.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: He loves baseball, and so what the White Sox did
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: was tremendous and what an honor that they did. You
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: bet there be a fight over those seats, or get
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: your picture taken next to the seed, that kind of stuff.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: And you know, they presented him a bat to saw
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: one photo of him getting a bat, and then.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Also they flew in some pizza from Chicago.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: So all that to say, the White Sox don't have
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: too much to cheer about these days. But I'm sure
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: that it would be great if he does make a
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: pilgrimage to the United States, and Chicago definitely has to
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: be on his short list of cities to visit because
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: they would turn out in mass they would have.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: A huge crowd. So it's all cool, it's good stuff, Scott,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I figured you would be a point where I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: put a topic in here that you can relate to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mention Detroit. And this one definitely hit the bell.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: All right, Jacob, this one's in your city, so okay.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, of course they would have to show
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: up in Mass Georgia is every Sunday. That's his job.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: They got to get all those people in Mass. No,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: but let me let me tell you this. Let me
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: tell you this. Though it's rate field only because he
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: hasn't been there lately, it would be guaranteed rate field
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: if he showed up again. So that's just the whole thing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: But really, by itself, I'll say this about the White Sox,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I know who they've switched up everything.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I like Will.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I like what Will Vin about what he's done. I
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: like what he's done with the team they gained. I
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: think like twenty game wins this year. I mean, you
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: can and you gotta give that credit. You know, they
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: had about the same team as last year, so they're
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: playing harder. So good for them on this. But really,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: by it, really, by itself, you gotta realize, there's three
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty three million people in the United States.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Fifty three million are Catholic, So you know, dark goodwill,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: someone's gonna go find that seat and they're gonna put
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: all their beads there. They're gonna put everything, any kind
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: of oil, They're gonna have all that stuff. Feel blessed.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be so many people going to that, and yes,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: it will catch it will catch some interest.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Candy in a Game.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: One of the two thousand and five World Series, which
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: the White Sox won, ending an eighty eight year drought.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: He is a noted White Sox fan. He was voted.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: He was elected back in May of twenty twenty five.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: He made a public Vatican appearance in June twenty twenty five,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: wearing a White Socks baseball cap. He also the team
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: has honored him by creating a mural near his seat,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: and then they also did in June twenty twenty five,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: a celebration and mass were held at the White Sox
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Bullpark to honor the new pope. The Pope sent a
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: video message during the event, speaking to young people and
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: emphasizing hope and faith.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: There you have it or crack statistician, Candy. I'm just
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: planning to They're doing something. They went there for the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: World Chair. If you can honor them, more power to them.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: We have a broadcasting note that I should talk about.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: It's just in time for the NBA. Terry Gannon joins
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it NBC Sports NBA coverage as I play by play voice.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I will have it, but do you know anything about
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: this one, JJ, I don't know. No, It's okay. You'll
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: get to know when you start watching the NBA. There's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the one thing about the Wednesday sports exchanges will definitely
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: be some more NBA topics. But I have some things
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that you recognize, but other people can probably talk about them.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: No big deal, JJ, Believe me, I have a lot
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of content built in here with your name on it. Nob.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Marvern, what are your talks about Terry Gannon
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: joining NBC covered to the NBA? Uh?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Not not.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: I can't say I know a lot about Terry to
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: be honest with you, It's okay.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I hope. I hope is good commentary.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no problem, all right?
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: George Terry Gannon. Yeah, he's a very knowledgeable sports caster.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: He's been around for quite a number of years.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: He's he does the figure skating at the Olympics all
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: the time, does a great job with that.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: He was at the Ryder Cup.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: He did play by play along with Dan Hicks this
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: past weekend for the Ryder Cup. And also he's done
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: a lot of different things like football and basketball.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I think it's a good move. He's a veteran.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: I'm not so sure how deepest knowledges of the NBA,
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: but I'm sure he's gonna hone up on it, really
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: really in a deeper level. But yeah, he is one
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: of those guys that's not like al Michaels. He's not
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Jim Nantz. He's not Mike Trico at that level yet.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: But he's the next next level down if you want
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: to say that he's a good guy, though he doesn't.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: He doesn't octabat, he's not controversial. I think they'll like him.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Jacob Well, Terry gannon Is, he's golf. He's a golf guy.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I mean we said Ryder Cup. He's done a few more,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: He's done a bunch of others. In truth, this is
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: this era even though we don't know him the way
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: we knew if past summer all a, you know Scully,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: all of those guys, we don't know him the same.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: This is this Aras version because we have so many
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: specialists now in the announcing booth. You know, they do
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: only do basketball, they only do football, they only do
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: this that it's like he's kind of that guy who's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: done everything, like those guys I just mentioned. So here's
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the thing I'm not gonna turn my back on him
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: or I'm not gonna say.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: We'll get to see because I can talk about everything.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: It's like, that's just the thing. It's like I have
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I study everything to talk about everything. He can study
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: everything to be able to talk about it. So I mean,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I just see how good he does.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Candy, So he's gonna share share play share NBA play
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: by play duties with Mike Cherico and Noah Eagle. Yes
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: he has, and it began it's eleven year media right
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: still with the NBA October of twenty twenty five. He's
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: a versatile broadcaster known for his working golf and Olympic
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: coverage since joining NBC Sports in two Also, he has
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: a background in basketball, as he was a player on
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the nineteen eighty three North Carolina state championship team and
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: has previously called Big Ten men's basketball for the network.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: So he has a basketball background because he played it,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: so he should be able to call it and do
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: play by play absolutely.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And by the way, JAYJ, I know you can fit
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in with this one. Noah Eagle went to Syracuse University.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: That tells me, I know you got your head on straight.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: So if you know anything about Syracuse University because you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: going out there and planning going there. Noah Eagle there.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you, this guy is somebody I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: knew about the North Carolina connection, so I knew about
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the name. I didn't know about him as much as
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: everybody else has. But NBA is really on. NBC is
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: going to be a really good watch. I think bringing
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in some big, big names and Terry is just another
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: example of what they're trying to do to be committed
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to that sport. All right, So let me ask you
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a question, JJ. Do you know much about Inner Miami
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and soccer?
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: No, I can't say I do.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you if you learn about it. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: might have connections down there, but I'll tell you what.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're going to put out there. Inner Miami's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: one billion stadium will debut in twenty twenty six. Freedom
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Park Stadium there scheduled to open for the twenty twenty
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: six MLS season. And let's say, never know if you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: learn a little bit about soccer. Although I know you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: have her set I said on other things, talk to me.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: We'll see if I can get your credential there. I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: don't care if you have Lionel Messy or not. I'm
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: sure they're definitely looking for good coverage at Inner Miami.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the fact that they are
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: building a new soccer stadium in Miami, know that they
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: could attract some good type of events over there. JJ.
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So the majority of the population in South Florda
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: is in the city of Miami, and right now the
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: stadium is located in the northern Fort Lauderdale area, which
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: means that most of the population has to drive up,
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: you know, forty forty five minutes north, and that's not
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: ideal for most fans. Therefore, I think it's a very
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: good idea that they're building a stadium right in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: heart of Miami because it's more accessible for fans to
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: be able to go. And you know, the atmosphere was
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: wild in north Fort Lauderdale, but just imagine what it's
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: gonna be in the heart of Miami. You're gonna get
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: all the die hard fans there. However, you know, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: also think it's good for some of those fans who
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: live in Fort Lauderdale because it isn't that far south
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: to so if you are a die hard, you can
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: still make a trip. It's not like they're moving to
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: a completely different city like the Chargers did from San
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: Diego to Los Angeles. This is just a minor, thirty
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: five minute switch. So I think it's a great decision
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: by the organization because you're gonna have a bigger and
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: better fan base. Now your actual team can represent the
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: city you play in because Inner Miami is now gonna
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: be in Miami.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Great point, j Okay, Mervin genius.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: I think it's really smart. You know, Miami, South Florida,
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: you know, Latin capital of the world. People love soccer.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: I think JJ hit it right on the head. I
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: think you're gonna have big turnout, big fan base, outstanding
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: business move. I'm not myself, not a big soccer guy,
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: but I lived in South Florida for fifteen years and
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: That there are people.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I was there for two World Cups in the time
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: of two World Cups that were held elsewhere. But I
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: saw how the city came together when it was World Cup.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: And I'll tell you what, man, those fans out there
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: are going to be extatic and that stadium is gonna
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: be rocking.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've been knowing a few matches over at
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the stadium that was We're a lot our TAM's a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: nice place for in eighteen thousand stadium, but they sell
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Florida soccer. Seen goes back to the Fort Lauderndille Strikers,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm old enough to have covered that team back
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: when I moved here in the early eighties. George Eichorn.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, I think it's a positive move too for the
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: city of Miami. Soccer is extremely important in a lot
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: of the Southern States due to the large population of
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: you know, the South Americans and the Central Americans especially.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: They really really really love that sport. And anytime you
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: could put the wherewithal together to have a stadium that's
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: uniquely built for a sport such as soccer, it's a
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: definite plus. It's a difficult, more harder to sell in
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: a big stadium, But boy or boy, when they get
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: in that sweet spot between twenty and three thousand, they
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: build these stadiums, that's.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: That's that's awesome I think for soccer. So good move,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Good move, Candy.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be a multi use development. Let's face it,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: it's twenty five thousand seat stadium scheduled the open spring
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: of twenty twenty six. It's a one hundred and thirty
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: one acre project that includes extensive public parkland, retail, restaurants, hotels, offices,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: tech spaces, and it's entirely let me repeat that, it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: entirely privately funded. No public funds were used to build this.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: And it's gonna be a stadium that has a canopy roof,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: it's a two tier seating bowl. It's gonna have over
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: five hundred thousand square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment venues.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: So it's not just gonna be for Miami. It's gonna
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: be for people to come from all over to come
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: stay at the hotels, you know, you spend their money. There.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Kudos to Inner Miami for a for it to be
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: privately funded, because we've heard so many people have so
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: many problems when somebody, uh, you know, doesn't want to
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: fund this or they don't want to be involved with that,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: and they so kudos that are doing it privately funded.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: And I think it's going to be close to the airport,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: so it's not far. There are worse very there's a
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: lot of worse areas of Miami you could put it in.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be really good for
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Miami and for inner Miami.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a brilliant idea brilliant because here's one thing
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: that people don't realize. And you guys all brought up
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the stats. Just now, think of this in a few
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: years now, not now for obvious reasons, but when new
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: climates change, when climates whatever change, all that kind of
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: stuff will wherever and whoever might be. Who's about ninety
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: miles away from Miami. You got it, you got it.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Imagine that friendly Imagine that friendly match. That's the thing
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: about and the craziness because Cubans would be coming here too.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Cubans to the United States and United States is the thing.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Just imagine that. I'm just saying this based off of
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the thank you very much for catching that one. Just
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: there's little thing like this whatsoever. It's in Miami. I mean,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: you got I mean, we're not even gonna have the
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: South American thing. It's like all the other South America
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: countries are so far away. This one is just nothing
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: as far as distance. The main thing about it is
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: just political climate. So there's something you could really play
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: on if that ever changes, whichever way it goes.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let me tell you this number one. A
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: lot of people thought the Miami Marlins were an ideal
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: fit for Miami as well. The problem is of parking.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: They're limited to garages. I think it's a lot more
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: space to park over at Freedom Park as well. I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: don't think how that problem they fall in. The Latin
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: community has done well, especially when you look at the world,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: may fall fastic about what they've done. So I think
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: there's no question inner Miami. I see what they've done
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in Fort Lauderdale. I don't know. I mean, and you
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: have David Beckham behind the whole thing as well, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: they spend money to put a good product on there.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't think there'll be any problem with Inn
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Miami being able to get across twenty five thousand put
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the amount of money that Internet Miami does put it
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: there as well. All right, Well, what that said, let's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: something The Big Ten announces that Michigan and USC will
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: kick off at seven thirty pm Eastern Time on October eleventh. Well,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Marvin will start off with you. We've seen some interesting
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: times at USC in the last few weeks. This one
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: appears to be a little bit more normal than most.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: We Uh, we had eleven kickoff, We had a kickoff
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: that had a three and a half hour delay. We
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: had a kickoff that was at nine am Pacific.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: So this is you know, a little bit normal hopefully,
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: you know. And it's and it's gonna be in Los
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: Angeles so our guys don't have to travel. And I'll
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: tell you what. This is a big game for USC,
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: a big game for Lincoln Raleigh. We have a bye
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: this week. We're coming off a horrible loss. Uh. Michigan
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: has a young dynamics stud quarterback behind a big offensive
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: line and two big running backs and Shamar Moorri's back
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: from his suspension now, so they have a big one
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: this week against Wisconsin. But but yeah, I'm happy to
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: have a normal kickoff time, somewhat normal, and give our chance,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: give our guys a chance to have their bodies be
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: normal and set and adjusted probably so we can go
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: out there and kick that Wolverine butt.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Marvin, you and I agree on just about everything, but
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I have a Philly we I agree on this one.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. I understand it, I appreciate it. I
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: know you represent that dollard real well, that's Okay, it'll
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: be interesting to watch the best part about it is
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I get to watch it without having to record this.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Candy and I have a weekend free of no football
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: that we have to go anywhere. That'll be good enough.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: With no Miami, no FAU. We have a weekend off,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: all right, JJ, what are your thoughts about the USC
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Michigan game being at a time where we can actually
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: watch it it's home that weekend. I don't think they are.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Marvin said it perfectly.
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: If you will be hosting UA B that weekend, I'm
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: pretty sure about that one. But yeah, I think Marvin
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: she said it all. You know the kickoffs with the
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: Big Ten. Now, when you have to travel to a
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: three hour different time zone with the new Big Ten,
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: it definitely can't affect some of these kids and the
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: time that they have to wake up and practice in
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: the morning and go through walk through. So that's definitely different,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: and it's definitely great that they actually can start at
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: a normal time. As for the game itself, this is
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: a very pivotal game for both teams. Both teams already
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: have a loss on their season already, and for USC,
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: I think you could argue it's more important for them
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: because Lincoln Riley there are a lot of questions on
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: him heading into the season. So far this season, you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: the loss to Illinois wasn't the best, although they kept
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: it close. And you know, they have the number one
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: recruiting class in the country, so they got to keep
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: winning these games to keep that class to make sure
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: they sign. And then as for the team itself, Jaden Mayalva,
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: you know, if they if they start winning games, maybe
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: you could keep him for a senior year where he
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: won't go to the draft and want to come back,
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: so we could win a college national championship. So it's
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: very important for those reasons. And you know, USC they
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: haven't really lived up to expectations the last couple of
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: years under Lincoln Riley. After you know, Caleb Williams first year,
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: it hasn't been that good for them. The Miller Moss year,
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: last year, the year two years ago you got where
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: they went eight and five. As for Michigan, Marvin said
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: it perfectly. Bryce Underwood, young quarterback, he has struggled though
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: throughout the season. He hasn't been perfect like his recruiting rankings,
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: says as him being a five star, number one in
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: the country. But we know what Michigan's gonna do. They're
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: gonna lean on the run game. Justice Haynes is one
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: of the best running backs in the country, and when
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: he gets outside on the perimeter, you really can't stop him.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of speed and it's really hard to
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: tackle him. So they're gonna want to go to him.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: That's gonna be their game plan, and it's gonna be
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: up to us. He's front seven to stop the run.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: As for the receivers, you know, Michigan hasn't been all
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: that good in the receiver game, so Mas Morgan has
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: a few drops on the year already, which has been problematic.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: Look for Bryce Underwood to use his cool threat ability,
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: get outside the pocket, maybe use his legs if no
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: one's getting open. But overall, it's going to be a
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: really interesting matchup and it's great to see it start
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: out in normal time.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: For you, Hey, George, can I ask you a question?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Do you know this much?
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: How do you follow that?
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: I can't. I can't take that. Thank JJ, you're really
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: on top of this situation. I can.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I applaud you, congratulate you as far as you mister Paul.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: You know what you were getting into when you joined
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: the Big ten.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Okay, so don't give me any song and dance about
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: eleven o'clock starts. Well, how do you think how do
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: you think our Michigan State fans felt waiting till eleven
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: pm to start that game out last Saturday or the
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: night before, the day of the week before. Now now
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: they're in prime time seven thirty. That's good. It's four
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: to thirty your time. You guys will be I'll be
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: ready to roll.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: I I mean, you.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Know this was Oregon and all these teams U, C,
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: l A and the USC you know, you know this
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: is what the consequences what are gonna be. And that's unfortunate,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: I understand. But you still got a good team, Marvin,
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: and it'll be.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: A hell of a game. It really will be.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: So we'll be watching it and intently, and uh, I
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: really think that you are.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: You guys are going to bounce back. I just hope
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: it's not against Michigan.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Nice handy.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Scott. Just just so you're aware, Yes, Florida Atlantic is
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: home on that Saturday. They are playing at six o'clock
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: against UAB just so you're aware. But okay, uh, as
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: far as Michigan USC, Well, let's hope. I can only
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: hope that Michigan would be upset with losing to Wisconsin
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: this weekend to make the matchup even more going out
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: to USC. Now, do I think that's really gonna happen? No,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: but I can dream, right, Oh yeah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little fickle on that thought.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm a whole lot yeah over there.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I have the Green Bay Packers Detroy
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Lyons version of it on Saturday with Candy. It'll be
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: interesting on this place, So that'll be all right. But
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: that's okay, go ahead, Jacob.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know something when I when the US season,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: when the US season, all of them from that to
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: the time went to the went to the Big Ten,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I worried about the Big Ten because they really don't
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: have any enormous I mean, I'm just say high flying
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: offenses like these pack pack twelves or pack fifteen or
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: twenty five or whatever amount of number they had to
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: have points. It's like it's like they didn't have that
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: high flying offense. But I also miss something what I
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: saw from the Illinois USC game. Illinois beat the top
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: are out of them physically. They did and it's like,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: and then I saw and I'm just saying, it's like
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: just seeing even though I'm just saying this is just
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: an all big ten idea beyond g Iowa and Indiana
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: was a trends physical batch up, I'm just saying that
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: with that, Indiana barely survived it. And it's like, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: these are and these are the kind of teams, These
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: are the kind of teams USC has to face. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: have to remember that part when I was worried about
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: the high flying stuff. They're not used to that kind
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: of beating. These the UCLA's the USC. They're not used
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: to that kind of beating. It's like they've had one
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: side overall and Michigan is going to give it to
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: them again. Now here's the thing. Does that mean USC
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: won't win? I mean, I'm not going to say that
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: either they're a good team. There's definitely not Miller Moss
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: out there. But see, but the biggest situation, yeah, and
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I agree with you JJ No, No, the biggest situation
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: you have by this whatsoever, is USC finally has to
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: learn to kind of toughen up because if they can't
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: beat Illinois, and Illinois is a good team. Now, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: they can't in Michigan's another level. If they can't be
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: they might have a long day.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I say about this is I'm
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: going to go back to a George set a little bit,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and that says they signed up to come into Big ten.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: It's one thing with the travel, but remember when they
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: played in the Rose Bowl, they were playing on a
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: neutral surf. In many of those games when in southern
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: California and UCLA and USC had prohibitive home field advantages.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Any team on the West Coast had their West Coast
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: over there. This is a different animal. You come east,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: you play in snow and you play in bad weather.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: You go west, you're not playing the road will you're
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: playing in their place with the pack houses. So there's
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of different variables. At George, you were kind
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: of working around it. Now I'm behind you on this one.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: You know the USC and Michigan play. It's this is
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: a regular season conference game. There's a lot more when
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: you're playing a conference game against a good conference. Okay,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: let alone the one that there was a high flying
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: affair over at the Pac twelve. That was a different animal.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: So you're right in the ballpark. I Corn just wanted
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: to try to ditch you over the top on this
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: one to realize that regular season versus a Bowl game
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: is a totally different animal. With that said, let's stay
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: on the Wolverine for a moment. No Wolverine game last say,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: no problem. As Zach bryan made history of drawing over
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: one hundred twelve thousand fans to Michigan Stadium aka the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Big Housing Inarmor for the largest ticketing concert and US
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: histories are passing the previous record of one hundred and
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: seven thousand and nineteen set by The Grateful Dead in
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, and no relation to Puba Robber. Okay,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the Grateful Dead, you can't put him in the same category,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: So Pubert Robber, you're the ungrateful Dead. So if that said, George, okay,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: one big crowd.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, oh you're not kidding Scott.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: We talked about this once, that this was going to
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: actually take place in the Big House. I wanted to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: follow up with it here tonight and be able to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: put an attendance mark by it. Zach Bryant was a
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: big success for the Wolverines financially as well as a
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Great Nights entertainment for those that went there, all one
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: hundred twelve thousand of go ahead, George.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and it was a very well managed event
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: as well too. Thank goodness, we didn't have any big
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: incidents happening. And I know I'm not going to get
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: into that, but the crowd management was spectacular. It was
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: over the top.
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: What I heard.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: I did not go to the concerts. And again, let's
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: not forget that the Big House hosted the New Year's
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: Day game against Toronto and Detroit. Way back in the day.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: There used to big crowds. There, used to big crowds,
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: but they're not used to the sock. I'm sorry this
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: concert crowd the country music lovers. But it turned out great,
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: it really did. And I say to myself, you waited
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: how many years I have a big concert like this?
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: But that's okay, it finally happened.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: And kudos to Michigan and the security and everybody in
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: the you know, in that area of making this a
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: great event.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Marvin.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, in this day and age, no, you're we thank
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: god that you can have that many people out and
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: it's just about having a good time and there's no drama,
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: I believe. I also heard read that they did like
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: five million dollars in merch in the stadium at the concert. Yeah,
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: I thin did five million dollars in merch, which I mean,
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: that's insane when you think about that.
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: But hey, but they had a great event and they
• 42:47
  Speaker 9: made a lot of money.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: All right, what are your talk, JJ, that's a lot
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: of people. How many games would it take for YU
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to come up with one hundred and twelve thousand?
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: I would ask the meet at twelve thousand games, so
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: ten fau games one hundred and yeah, twelve thousand hundred. Yeah,
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: so one hundred percent agree with both Marvin and George there,
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: And as someone who witnesses this in firsthand, and as
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: someone who's still in school right now. You know, when
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: my friends they listen to one or two people, Zach
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: Bryan or Morgan Wall and country music is really the.
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: Main thing now.
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: You know, three four years ago everyone listened to Wrap Drake,
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: you know, Kendrick, But now everyone's starting to listen to
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: country music. So I'm not surprised. And you know, Zach
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: Bryant's had a few good hits. So the Big House
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: obviously has the name for the reason it can fill
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: up a lot of stands and as we could see
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: the country music Zach Bryan really was able to do
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: that last Saturday on the Bot Candy.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: You know, if you look back at history of the
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Michigan Stadium, the actual highest attendance was the Michigan versus
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame football game on September seventh of twenty thirteen,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: where there was one hundred and fifteen thousand, one hundred
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: and five, one hundred and nine fans. So that's the
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: highest on campus attendance for a college football game in
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: NC two A history. So obviously they're used to big crowds.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: They have a big stadium. The one thing I would
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: challenge the NFL. You go overseas to all these other stadiums,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: all these other places, how about playing a couple of them
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: in these college stadiums, especially like Michigan Stadium. I would
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: think it would be kind of cool to see the
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Lions play outdoors home game Michigan Stadium.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: That would be interesting. Hey, once upon a time Tiger Stadium,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: but nothing like that at the Big House. Pointy. I
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: like that creativity there you go, just catching on really good.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Jacob one hundred fifteen, one hundred and nine in Michigan, right,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: you guess there day, but it wasn't in notre day
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: because one hundred thousand wuld be priests wouldn't have enough room.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: But the but really by itself, you're right about that, JJ.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: The country used to kind of getting big, and these
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: crowds are getting bigger, I mean going down. I'll just
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: say this, George and Scott. Remember WrestleMania three and the
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Silver Dome. Some say eighty thousand, some say ninety three.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: But either way, that giant of a crowd. Either way
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: it be either way it's being a concert and the
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: pope and like you know, within a lot of two
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: weeks stretch. So it did that. But that was enormous crowd.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: And now we hear these one hundred thousand person crowds
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: all the time, which in truth I love seeing it.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: But in truth, I really believed it was after COVID
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: and people are just like, no, we're not sitting in anymore.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I truly believe that we're not sitting here anymore. It's
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: like we're not because it's like it's one of those
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: where I think people too, I think people took their freedom,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: not necessarily freedom for by politically, but freedom for like
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: just being out of their house.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Sat.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: I think I took it for granted big time, and
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: it took two years to get out of it.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Sometimes.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: So people are just gonna be going like crazy with
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: these you know what I'm saying with going to these
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: big states, going to these big things. And there's more
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: and more of these big stadius are going to get
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: built now over the years, so we're gonna see these
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: records fall.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, college campuses, they're building stadiums right and left. I agree.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I was just planned to stay Michigan put on a show,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and they definitely maximize the opportunity of Zach Bryant. We
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: had brought it up on this network before. This is
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: just a good opportunity to do and update. Well you
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: know what. But that said, we're gonna go to our
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: first non sports topic of the night. Everybody's waiting for this.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I know Mar.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: To come up with.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: He got broken in the hard way with Charlie Kirk
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: last week. I gave him something that no rookie would
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: have survived except down on this show. And Marts survived good.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: This one not so bad. The other's two of them
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: will start with this one. Spirit Airlines filed bankruptcy for
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: the second time in two years, says it will now
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: trink its fleet network and a bid to cut costs
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: by hundreds at millions of shares and have plunged more
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: than seventy percent in the past month. Has lost us
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: filed up. I remember that Spirit Airlines is a popular
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: air line. I used to fly from Fort Laurel to Detroit.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Delton obviously has taken over. So that said Jacob with
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: her talks about Spirit Airlines showing anything but Spirit.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Remember the show Wings. Remember the show Wings way back when. Yeah,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: I think Sandpiper's going to buy the Spirit at this point.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: It is ridiculous. No, the biggest thing about it is
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: it's not a shock because we've had you know, we've
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: had sports personalities that you know, just that around Facebook,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: that around everything I talked about going on. You're in
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: and different areas, like their first air their first airplane
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: ride would be Spirit and everything, and they get made
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: fun of. Yeah, yeah, they get made fun of because
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: it's Spirit. And then it's you know, any of these
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: the low cost airlines, and it's like, if that's the reaction,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: then yeah, we're gonna see a couple more we're gonna
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: see a chapter seven to one before you know, and
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: then that's it. Then liquidation comes unless someone besides the
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: buy it. I'm like, I don't know who wants that.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe Gordon get go Okay, Candy.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: The carrier has been racing the slash cost and really
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: recently announced plans to cut forty routes. They furloughed about
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: one third of its flight attendants. The airline is in
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: talks with its pilots union and is seeking about one
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in cuts from that group alone. Last month,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: Spirit said it was drawing down the entirety of it's
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy five million, and it's revolver like.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: This is the second time in less than twelve months
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: that it's filing for bankruptcy. I get the airline, but
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: the airline businesses is cutthroat, and it's hard right now
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: because a lot of people don't have the extra income
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: to do a lot of flights. So a lot of
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: people aren't taking some of those flights, or they're driving
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: some of them because they just can't afford. So here's
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: an airline that charges you for the little things because
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: they the cheaper on the regular flights they do. I
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: think they are based out of I think down here
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: for Lauderdale, I think is one of their because I
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: know I've I've talked to some of the pilots before.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: I've met some of the pilots for Spirit. It's just
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: sad because we all still like to go places. We
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: all still need airlines, we all still need competition because
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: you don't want there to be too few airlines out
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: there choices because that just drives, you know, the price up.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: So but something's got to be done because I can't
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: keep bailing them out either.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: George.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I wanted to add one of the things, Candy,
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: when you mentioned about the NFL the Detroit Lions to
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: have several exhibition games at UFM Stadium way back in
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: the day. I just wanted to make sure because I
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: know that, but they never had a regular season game.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to share that with you.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: Spirit.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, I have met more people, friends
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: and relatives alike, that do not speak well of Spirit
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: on their flights from as Scott mentioned, from Detroit to Florida.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: I've only flown them one time. They nickel and dime
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: their all their extra costs. I don't even think you
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: get a bag of peanuts or whatever.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Airline, George, they're the ones that get in the phoenix.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Well, okay, one Spirit, Thank you. Spirit has a a
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: real problem with customer satisfaction.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: I'll just leave it at that.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Marvin.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, anybody who's ever flown Spirit, when they hear that headline,
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: they're like, I'm not shocked because, as everyone has said,
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: you know, you don't really understand what it is to
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: fly a budget airline until you fly Spirit and you
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: see how what a pain in the neck it is,
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: and just how the customer experience is just not like
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: a bigger carryer, let's say, like Delta. It's it's a
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: it's just a night and day experience, you know. And
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: if you're willing to fly with no luggage, no no
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: need for water, no need for no need for you know,
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: a seat belt, then you know, go ahead and Spirit.
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: But now it's listen, a lot of this is just
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: like a lot of companies, man going down.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It's tough.
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: Everybody ain't traveling, and you know there's hard time to
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: I hear for some of these people.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, Marvin, to tell you this, let me say this.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: I heard a story about Tampa Bay years ago when
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: they were first in the league seventy six, they had
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: they took an airline called McCullough Airlines and the first
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: time they got on the plane, the pilot was dealing
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: with the wiring, and then and they was dealing with
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: the wiring and they were and it's like filling with it.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: And then they had to take off before they hit
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: the water at the beach. And so that's how bad
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: the things was. That still sounds better than Spirit. It's
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I don't think Hugh Cooper
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: House would even deal with us.
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: Spirit that Spirit before Spirit Man.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I'll to be honest with you, one of my least
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: favorite airlines in Frontier. I can't stand them. They talk
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: about a ripoff. Candy and I both on the leg
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: to pay up the wing wing with them, and I know,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: real Southwest. I actually enjoyed them for a while. You know,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: they at least they were on time. When I was
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: flying on peanuts or not, I never cared. I'll take
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: as many peanuts as they were willing to give me,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: and out there grab as many and sweet talk to
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the stewardess that have given me a bunch when I
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: was doing it on my own, I pused off my
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: pockets on that candy with me. I gave her a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: future peanuts because she put up with the show and
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: against she always does. I don't know what airlines changings
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: flies me personally, I like to drive, but there's Alzeimer thinking,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: put a cramp in my style getting behind the wheel
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: and we'll make it come back on the road. I
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: just don't know when, but at least I know like
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: co pilots are to fail me out, JANJ. Have you
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: phoned on many airlines yet? Yeah?
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: I have phone on a few airlines.
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: I haven't phone on Spirit yet, And now I'm pretty
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: fortunate that I have, just based on the reputation. Me
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: and my friends have a joke and there's like this
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: flight tracker that you have, and you have all these airlines,
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: American Airlines, Delta, United, every airline, and there's a thunderstorm
• 53:59
  Speaker 7: and they all fly around the thunderstorm, and then Spirit
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: flew right.
• 54:03
  Speaker 8: Into the thunderstorm.
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: And that's what I know about Spirit, which is that
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: you know it has a bad reputation, and obviously you
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: know the cut show that people don't want to fly
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: on that. But to me, you know, no matter the service,
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: a plane is a plane and if you can get
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: from one place to another, no matter you know, the luxury,
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: everything is the same as long as you land safely,
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: and that's all that matters to me.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Over So, Scott, can I add to a couple little things?
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: So Spirits competitors are considered United Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Jet
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: Blue Airways, and Allegiant Airlines. Spirit has struggled for years
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: with an engine recall and a failed acquisition by Jet Blue.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: And they are a Dania Beach, Florida based airline. Just
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: so everybody is.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Aware, well yeah, that's why they fly a lot on
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: a for lover hill. That's why we were able to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: take them for a while until their situations became what
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: they did and they become a bearable knowledge is by Delta.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: But that said, I know, George, we don't use the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: hel My town much anymore because we have so many
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: good topics. But I want to make Di Corsehill a
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: little bit at home when we come up with two
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: before we hit a station break. A total of two million,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: four hundred and thirteen thousand, four hundred and forty two
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: total fans of k America Park in twenty twenty five
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: and most in twenty sixteen. And the Tigers have played
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: great baseball all year. Their series against the Guardians is
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: tied at one to one. How a team leaves fifteen
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: runners on base and their bullpen goes to the toilet
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: remains me saying. But don't blame it on the fans,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: because they put a two million, four hundred thirteen thousand
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: and four to forty two. It's pretty good for Co America.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I've always regarded Detroit's one of the best sports sounds
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: in the country, Tigers fans and everybody in the Midwest
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: and the Detroit area. That number is backed up. What
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts about those numbers?
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: George, Well, yeah, I mean, obviously, like you said, it's
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: the the biggest turnout gate turnout in years. I really
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: think though that, you know, the fact is is that
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: they're not hosting this first round and that's cost them
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: the team millions.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: But that's their own own fault.
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: But the Fians here your rights got They're very loyal,
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: they're very supportive. They buy a lot of Tiger merchandise,
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: as you know, and I and you know, the ballpark
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: is friendly it's nice, it's friendly, it's clean, and owner
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: Chris Illage has made some improvements over the last four
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: or five years in that stadium, which is was soortainly needed.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: So yeah, no, I'm all for it.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: I'm glad they finally got above two point four that's wonderful.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: Two point four million. Yeah, good fans, loyal fans.
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: You're right, Marvin.
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it just reminds you that there are people in Detroit,
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: and as you said, Detroit is a real sports town.
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: It's a lot of people. I would have never thought that,
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: you know, they had those kind of numbers. I don't Finally,
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: no baseballys in one of my top sports and I
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: definitely don't follow. That's right, But that's impressive because especially
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: considering you know, I would I would think it's uh.
• 57:07
  Speaker 6: I would never thought that that those numbers were and
• 57:10
  Speaker 6: existence for Detroit.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Okay JJ.
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this year, the Tigers have had a great season overall,
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: and you know, no matter if they're winning or losing,
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: the finn seem.
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: To show up well. So that's pretty good for them.
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: And they're a real sports city, and the pitching this
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: year has been really good for them to reach Scuoble
• 57:30
  Speaker 7: has really turned it around and had that triple Crown campaign,
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: and I think he is the best pitcher in baseball
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: at least for this year. So it's great to see
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: a city in Detroit which has had a lot of
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: disappointment in sports now have the Lines who are Super
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: Bowl contenders and the Tigers who have really turned it around.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Indeed, So the Tigers were hot early, which really I
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: think helped them with these attendance figures. They actually are
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: sixteenth in MLB for average attendance for this year, so
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: kind of almost middle of the pack really, but kudos
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: to them. Like they still have an outdoor stadium, so
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: that is like almost to strike against them because they're
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: not guaranteed a game because it could be they could
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: have rainouts and want you know that. But they got
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: hot early and that I think really helped smart in
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: the team and help their attendance figures. It's too bad
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: they've they fallen off near the end there that they
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: didn't have a weren't playing better at the end. Let's
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: hope that you know, they have one, they have a
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: one game playoff tomorrow that they can do it there
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: for you guys, Jacob.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I really really hope that Detroit does well and
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: they win. And I'm just being very honest on this
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: because between Trek Schouball and Paul Schemes, they're in the
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: areas that you normally wouldn't have gotten because you're always
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: thinking they'd go to the Yankees or Dodgers, right, and
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: and they're in They're in good areas, good base and
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Detroit's good. Pittsburgh's horrible. But I mean, if Pittsburgh can
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: make changes, like you know, ownership, but they can do
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: something like that and get themselves back. But the biggest
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: thing about it is it's good to see this. It's
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: good to see these whatsoever and get to be able
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: to get themselves back. And maybe in the future they
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: can be able to because remember what was at six
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: when they went to the World Series.
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: Twelve then twenty twelve to twenty twelve.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's one of those things that
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: it's really good to see those things once in a while.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Because joking aside, we wanted to say, oh, we want
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: to see another Dodgers and Yankees again. I kind of
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: joke online. But it's always nice to see something a
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: little different, you know, it's like even if the ratings
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: aren't going to go so well, I mean it probably won't.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: It's so they probably won't just because a lot of
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: they're always looking for casuals. Casuals want the people that
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: they know. But it'd be really really nice to see, say,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Detroit and the Cubs put those right there.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, many one of that series back in nineteen
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: eighty four with the Padres put a debt and that
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: one will later that, all right, but yeah, it's good
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: to see two point four million in there for sure.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: All Right, we'll go to one more Detroit topic. We'll
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: go to a station break after that for one that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Marvin's been waiting for anyways. I know he's waiting for
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: some big bomb to be dropped. There's biggest way to
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: deal with. Last week, the Lions were criticized for not
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: acknowledging podcaster Charlie Kark. The Lions, of course, there were
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other teams were, but they were singled
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: out to the data and Charlie. All right, Marvin, I.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 6: Don't see why an NFL organization has any duty to
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: acknowledge anything outside of their own organization.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: Was good for them.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 6: This is something again, I didn't know who this person
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 6: was until he was killed, you know, and rest in peace,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: and the thoughts goes out to his family, because that's
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: really the first thing I thought.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: A guy was so young. I know he had a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: young I mean, I saw you a young wife.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: But I just don't understand why they have a Why
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 6: it's an issue that an organization chooses not to now
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: if they wanted to. I mean, the team is probably owned.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: They could do what they the owners could do what
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: they want to do. But I don't see it as
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: an issue, and it's not. Again, this is someone who
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 6: I understand now. His when he was alive, it was controversy.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: So if you died in the midst of controversy, you
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 6: still have people on one side who loved you when
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 6: you were alive and and people who are on the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: other side of that as well. Uh, that doesn't change
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: when you pass it away. Those people still exist and
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 6: they stay in those zones of liking you and not
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: liking me.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: So it wasn't like it was. He was universally loved.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 9: He has nothing to do with the NFL.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know if Detroit is a big, you know,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: super right wing town.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 9: I would say no, but I don't. I don't see
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: the big deal. To be honest with you.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll go back to what we talked about last
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: week when he broke to subject number one. Okay, I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: didn't know who he was either until this unfortunate tragedy
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: took place. And I'll say it again, rest in peace
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: to the person. And I know that his wife has
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: to be a single parent, and we'll leave it at
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: that and best off for the children. But keep in mind,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: the Lions were not ily see out, but there are
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other NFL teams that didn't either. There
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: was a lot that did, but there are a lot
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: that didn't, so they're not alone. But where I got
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: this information was that they were talking about about the Lions,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, and maybe candyal researched it. I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: think Say Steele made a big deal out of it,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: is what I believe she did. That's right, I thought
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I heard it. But anyway, but there are a bunch
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: of other teams that rebelled against it too. The Lions
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: were just one of the ones that were mentioned. Okay,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: j J, what are your thoughts about this?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you want to answer, so I have no comment
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 7: on politics. I'm not going to discuss any of that.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: I'm underage anyway, But this is a human life that
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: was taken away, and no matter if you agree or disagree,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: he didn't deserve that. He didn't deserve to die. He
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: had a wife, he had two kids, and a human
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: being is worthful and shouldn't have you know, died based
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: on his beliefs. What he tried to do is speak
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: out and share his beliefs. And you know, he gave
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: an open mic to everyone. Anyone could go up to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 7: the mic say what they thought, and he would debate them.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 7: It's not like he, you know, didn't promote freedom of speech.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: He did. I'm I don't really.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: Know policies or politics, but you know, I saw a
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 7: lot of his content in his main base that he
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 7: targeted was my age. So I've been watching Charlie since
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 7: twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen on a weekly basis, so you know,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: I've known him for a while just through content purposes.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, JJ, we don't go that
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: far with this either. I'm I'm bringing it up in
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: a sports reference that the Lions were singled out. Otherwise
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: this topic doesn't really get talked about a whole lot. Again,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: keep in mind JJ here on a sports show, but
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: yours truly here. Every once in a while, we'll throw
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: a curveball appropriate for this time of the year, right,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: you know, course ball. Okay, we'll leave it at that, Katie.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: So.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: After a Thursday night football showdown between the Washington Commanders
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: and the Green Bay Packers on September eleventh, the day
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: after Kirk's death, featured a moment of silence for the activists,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: a league decision. According to an NFL statement, teams hosting
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: games on Sunday were left to decide for themselves whether
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: to honor him in similar fashion. The Titans, Chiefs, Cowboys, Cardinals, Dolphins, Saints,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: and Jets all did so. The Vikings, Steelers, Colts, Bengals, Lions,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: and Ravens did not. The Steelers did hold their American
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: flags at half staff, observing a Trump order about flags
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: on public grounds, which some state and local officials meanwhile ignored.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: On Monday night, the Houston, Texas marked a moment of
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: silence for victims of violence without naming Kirk by name,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: while the Las Vegas Raiders made no reference, veiled or
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: otherwise to the issue. You know, I'm kind of getting.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: I understand the NFL and most of the teams, almost
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: all of them are privately owned. I get that, so
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: they can make statements if they want or not. But
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: sports is separate from politics, and I get it's a platform.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: Do I think that that's the right platform to acknowledge?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: I think depending on how they did it is good
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: or bad. I think trying to polarize the country is
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: what's wrong, and trying to segregate people into different categories
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: is what's wrong. If they want us, you know, say,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: be against all violence, I get it, and that I'm.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Gonna just leave it at that, Jacob.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: I will say. The reason that this is such a
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: big battle right now, and I'm just gonna bring this
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: part is I was reading a story, and I can
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: say that this is just one example. I was reading
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: up a story about as a lady that went into
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: a city council in Dearborn talking about a talking about
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: them called the Prayer for the Muslims at about five
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: am in the morning and all that kind of stuff
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: in the big controversy had caused and she got absolutely
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: land based it over it. Yeah, I mean said I
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: mean to some call racists, some called her the xenophobic,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: some called her all this. And so when there's such
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: a divided deal out there, and it's like when they're
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: saying that they're allowing this with people some of them
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: come into the country illegally and some of them did not,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: and they allowed this part. But then you can't do
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: this with Charlie. I'm not saying what's right or wrong
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: with this. I'm saying that's where a lot of this
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: with Michigan is gone. Is you have something in Dearborn
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: right now that's going on with that. So there's going
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: to be that fight whatsoever. But really by itself, the
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: reason that they would say you have to you can
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: decide it on your own is because it was pretty
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: much almost fifty to fifty on who was going to
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: do it and who wasn't. Right and remember Penn State
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: did it. They gave up five thousand freedom shirts the
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: one he died in over in de penn stated during
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: the wide out. So it was just people. They just
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: made their decision.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: George.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And as far as I know, the only two
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: people that could answer this question and the owner she
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: afford him, and of course the president of Operations, Rod would.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, in a real world, we're all together on
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: this and every team does it.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: But we're not in that space right now.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: We know that, so we're not going to have unanimity
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: on the moment of silence.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: I knew. I do know that.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: The teams that did it obviously reached a consensus somehow
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: and how that was handled. But even though it was
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: not an elected offisher, it was still a terrible, terrible
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: In fact, it was an assassination, that's what they called it.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 5: And of course when we had assassinations for any number
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: of people, but they were more prominent, I guess or whatever.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. And John Kennedy come
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: to mind. Those hall had moments of silence. But again,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: Charlie was not an elected official. That could be some
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: of the thinking. But I'm not upset about it.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well again, I'll reiterate one last time we go
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: to the station break after this. It's a sports topic.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: They were talked about it, and that's why it's on
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: this show again. Rest in peace, Charlie. More importantly, I
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: wish the family well. Seeing a single parent is a
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: tough situation, and that's where I'm with Erica Kurt on
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: that at least all right station, right time. Candy.
• 1:09:26

  Speaker 1: On our feature topic of the night, Why would I
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: come up on a headline like desk from Wendy to
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL? Really? Seriously? Really? Yes? Brian pat Patrick is
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: a guy. I'm talking about. Former NFL star quarterback Ryan
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Patrick worked at Wendy's for two weeks get this, people
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: before he was reportedly fired. He was fired Donald Trump.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: I know you use the word pretty well, Okay, but
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: Ryan allegedly gave a bun without a burger in it
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: and complaint to management about this. Fits went on to
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: Harvard and became one of the greatest seventh rounders people. Now,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: he had a pretty good career everywhere, Okay, and now
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: he's on Thursday Night Football Amazon Prime. Can't see him
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: doing to Wendy's commercial though. What are your thoughts about this? JJ?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Fitch, he's a great guy. The whole Wendy's stinging.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 7: Fired after two weeks. I wasn't aware of that situation.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 9: Show.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 8: I'm probably not the best to give you insight on that.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: However, we don't need insight once in a while, a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: little buddy, we need opinion, we don't need You don't
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: have to be an encyclopedia of information every time. Opinions
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: work on this show. That's why it's a wide open
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm pitty with you.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, based on what you said.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: If I had to give an opinion, I mean, if
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 7: he he did something wrong at Wendy's and deserved it,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 7: I don't see why it would be wrong of them.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 7: But has an opinion for me about his career. You know,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 7: he's just an all around great guy. He got the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 7: chance to speak with him, and he's a guy who
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 7: I towards when I first started getting into sports. You know,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 7: at seven eight years old, he was still in the
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 7: league and still a veteran and was talked about a
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 7: lot as that guy who is a you know, on
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 7: thirteen NFL teams. Now he has a great career and
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 7: I take a lot of inspiration from him on Thursday
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 7: Night Football.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't want to.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm not too aware on the on the
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: Wendy s thing, So let someone else take that, all.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, burger. That's okay, they didn't He didn't have
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: a burger and a bunny was upset about it. Well,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: that's okay. I don't think he's doing Wendy's commercials.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: I love these kind of stories, man, stories of guys
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 6: who persevered and you know, had a low drama or
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 6: trauma or.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 9: Just ups and downs in life.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 6: And uh, you know, he was working fast food and
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: now this sky's sitting on a desk doing Thursday night
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: football after having made you know, millions and millions of dollars.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: I love it for the guy.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: I do low draft pick, low chance of making a
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 6: roster coming out the IVY League, and the guy persevered
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 6: sixteen years. It's tough, man. It's tough to stay focused,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 6: you know, and have to fight and travel. And he
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: has a wife and kids, and you know, you love
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: those stories, man, I do. And it's great for anybody,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 6: any young people out there right now. You know who's stuck,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: who working in fast food opportunities, who aspire for more.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: So kudos to him. And I appreciated his time when
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 6: he was in New York.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: George.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, without knowing all the particulars I mean about being
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: fired or let go.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 5: It is really difficult for anybody that you know loses
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 5: their job in the NFL. For example, what am I
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 5: gonna do?
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: What am I gonna do next?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: So I bought him for going and being hired by
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 5: Wendy's and Flippenberger's for However, a couple of weeks, I
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: think you said.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: No, George is before he went to Harvard, before he
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: went to Harvard.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, let me put that conversation in the rear view mirror.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: That yeah, good idea.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know the people at Harvard.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: I don't the people at Wendy's.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: There could have been something else beside that, but I
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: don't think it's a big thing. I really don't. I mean,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 5: these people are used to coming and going. All the
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 5: fast foods are. But this guy, I like him because
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 5: he is a good guy. He's a good quarterback, well
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 5: not a great quarterback, but he is a guy that
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: really really loves the NFL and obviously in his role
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: until elevision helps him out.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: So again, now, George, that was before he went to Harvard.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: He got fired because he did he served a meal
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: without a burger and usually generally when was the last time.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: You had a burger, George, uh, last week?
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: And can I ask you what they had in it?
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: Ah? They had cheese and a hamburger.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, okay, so you had a bun. Okay, you
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: had a burger and they had cheese. So in other words,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: you had bun, a bun, a burger and cheese. You
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: had all the ingredients, right, George, Yes, okay. Well he
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: protested that one of the ingredients wasn't there, and in
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: the eyes of Donald Trumps, you're fired. Of course, he
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: went on the Harvard to the IVY League and what
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: else can you say? People? Yeah, my god, the r
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: V League, Amazon Prime don't get any and of course
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: the NFL didn't hurt either. All right, George, you get it.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, thank you for clarifying.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: Appreciate Okay, I had to make sure I got a
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: fourteen year old. You have to set a good example
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: for this kid. You know, he's learning, and he's doing
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: a good job with his first act there, know when
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: he wants to give us all his facts and learn
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: some of the little finer points of the industry, right, JJ,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: you're learning some of the finer points of this industry. Oops,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: they're muted. Are you. Are you learning some of the
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: finer points of this industry? JJ your first act.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 7: Hey, I'm having trouble with the hearing. It's going breaking
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 7: in and out. Okay, you said finer points of.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: This industry, the business, the media. Are learning anything.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 8: From you guys? Yeah, oh yeah.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 7: I mean you guys have had a lot of analysis,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 7: a lot of questions that I wasn't aware of, and
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 7: I've definitely learned a lot of you know, a lot
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: of what you guys have said is really resonated and
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 7: made a lot of sense. And some of the cave
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 7: your using and specific terms and analogies I really am
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 7: learning about and making sure that I remember to utilize
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 7: them in future episodes in podcast. So I'm definitely learning
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 7: from you guys. You guys have been on point on
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 7: a lot of stuff, and all of you guys have
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 7: done an excellent job so far throughout the show.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: So as far as you're concerned in the eyes of
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Karen Carpenter, we've only just been gone. All right, Candy,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: go ahead, you know Karen Carpenters, No, no, least, don't
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: worry about it. That's okay. I'm learning a lot about
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: you tonight. That's okay, a lot of good things, all right, Candy,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the Wendy's controversy?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: So I'd be really surprised if he was fired for
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: just that. First of all, he has admitted that it
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: happened on his watch. He did not claim responsibility, because,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: let's face it, when you're in the fast food industry,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: there's one person cooking the burger, there's one person assembling,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: there's one person packaging it. Especially back like when we
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: were talking, because we're talking this was years ago. This
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: was not like, oh yeah, there's computers that are making
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: all these and assembling all of these these days. You know.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: So what was he responsible? Was he the manager on duty?
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was only working there two weeks. Hard
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: pressed to think that he was responsible for the whole thing.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: But again, I'd be surprised if he got If this
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: was the only reason he got, let go for it.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: There's normally got to be normally you have warnings, there's
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: like other things that would have to have taken place
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: in order to warrant a firing. But hey, you never know,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: Wendy's can do what Wendy's wants to do.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like the chilli. All right, Jacob, Yeah, I
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: worked at Wendy's.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: I've worked at everything, did I take the I mean,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: especially in fast food. Let me say this part here
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: for the This is a guy who was a the
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: quarterback in every level high school college, especially the Ivy
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: League and the NFL. That's a leader for somebody like that.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: Then he went to Harvard, he went to all this stuff.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: Wendy's would not be anywhere near what he would you know,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: his type of place to work in the first place.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: Let me let me say this, he's looking for leaders.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: When you're a quarterback, your coach is your leader. You're
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: looking for leaders you want to know. I can name one.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: I can name one fast food guy that could be
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: a leader, you know, a true leader in Isaiah's junior
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Bridgman and he ended up hoping three hundred and twenty Wendy's. Yeah,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: outside of that, but vast majority of fast food I'm
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: just gonna say it's just honesty, vast majority of fast
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: food management losers. He isn't going to listen to them.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: He's he had the high end, high quality coaches to
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: listen to a sport. So it's just the truth. He
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: isn't going to listen to that. He He's gonna shut
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: them right down, especially when I know these type of
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: managers and everything. They scream all the time. They tried
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: to I mean, they tried to scream, they tried to
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: look tough, they tried all that kind of stuff, and
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: he just got to laugh at them. So he probably
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: had an obnoxious streaked to him a mile wide that
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: got him fired in the first place. And I don't
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: blame him.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what time to go to in basketball
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: before I do that. I'm gonna go one more non
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: sports topic before I do that, and we're gonna really
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: finish up on the floory with some NBA stuff. Telegram,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: the Telegram, founder of plans to leave seventeen billion fortune
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: to his one hundred and six children. He asked people,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and six children, that makes Sean Alelexander looking
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: small at fourteen. Okay, but here's the thing. Pavel Derav's
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: children came from sick personal relationships. One hundred born annament
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: anonymously across twelve countries. None will see a dime until
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: twenty fifty five. People, as Durrov insists, a grow up,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: self reliant, not spoiled by well twenty fifty five. I
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: know where I'll be in twenty fifty five, and we'll
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: be doing this stuff. But what do you think, jj,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to be a dynamite forecaster, graduated
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: from Syracuse or wherever you want to go twenty fifty five.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: I'll be up in heaven watching you do it, knowing
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: you just started here. What do you think about this?
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Babo Durroff and his attention to wait till twenty five,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: twenty fifty five for all one hundred children. Surreal, isn't it?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 7: It definitely is surreal, one hundred percent. And as you mentioned,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 7: you know, hopefully I'm alive by then, you know, another
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 7: thirty years till now.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Show like you're on better than mine.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 8: It's great that he's helping out.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 7: And you know, as you mentioned, I hope to be
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 7: in the media industry as a professional then on sportscasting
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 7: on TV. But I'll remember, you know, you giving me
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 7: the opportunity always in the fact that I get to
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 7: speak to everyone here who gives shreuch great and now
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 7: it's just in great opinion, Joel, So again I want
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 7: to thank you for that opportunity.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: You'll be great on your first day. We're gonna end
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: up with the NBA after we get done in fund
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: of fund, we'll wrap it up at the end. What
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts, Mervin?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: Okay man, I mean, this dude has one hundred and
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: sixty something kids. This guy was was was busy, he
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: was busy. What I respect the fact that this guy
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 6: wants his kids to have some type of work ethic
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: and have goals and dreams and go out there and
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: get this, you know, take care of their own life
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: and build their own life and create their own life.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: I respect that especially, Uh, you know, JJ's an anomaly. This
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: guy is, this young man is so impressive. But my
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: thought is that most young people don't have the drive
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: in the real discipline that JJ has here. So I
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 6: respect the fact that this guy wants to make sure
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 6: that all these kids, all these people that he's created,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: you know, fine purpose and meaning in life.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 9: I get it. I do. I'm also wondering.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 6: If maybe that's harsh considering I mean, what kind of life?
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: What kind of father can you really be to one
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: hundred and sixty people?
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: What kind of impact can you have? Well, if you
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 6: got seventeen billion dollars. I think that's the name. You said.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 9: You have a lot of impact. I don't know.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 6: It's a surreal topic, to be honest with you, but
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 6: I respect you.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 9: Know he has uh.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 6: This guy has a way of thinking, and he's old
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 6: school with his thoughts, and he wants his kids to
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 6: build their own life.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 9: I get it.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: Do it the old American way, you know, start at
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: Wendy's and build your way up, just like Fitzpatrick.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I love the way your time. Well, you're
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: getting better on every show.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 9: Learned from you and JT learned from JJ.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, get ready next Wednesday night to tell
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: your story. I'm gonna leave you the first time mental.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: Let everybody know your story. Everybody wanted to get to
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: know you to not get an idea how you're gonna
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: handle these topics. They're getting a segment all to yourself,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: little buddy, So at least that's the only thing you'll
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: be prepared to do well. Everybody else will be guessing
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna throw out their I courn won't be
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: on this show next week, kill me on fire up
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: next Thursday night. For sure, I can rest assure that
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: he'll be on baseball all right, George, what are your
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: thoughts about this telegram guy and all that money that
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: he can hand out to those kids at twenty fifteen?
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: But even though the odds are I know, I'm not
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be here, Alzheimer's gonna wipe me out, wait further
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: than that, But that's still a pretty good gesture, isn't it.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, definitely is.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 5: And as far as the wait goes, yeah, that is
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: a lot longer than I ever heard that you would wait.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 5: But like you were kind of alluding to Marvin, you know,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: the kids, he's not going to give it to him
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 5: on a silver platter. He obviously wants to wait and
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 5: see and hopefully they're advancing in their own livelihood, their
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 5: own careers.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 4: Maybe that was part of his decision.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 5: But boy, that's very generous of him, and it really,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 5: it really is something that I hope these young people are,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 5: however aged, they are grateful to for his gift to that,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 5: and that's the important thing, you know, have a good attitude,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 5: be grateful. And even though you got to wait till
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 5: what twenty twenty five or I mean twenty twenty fifty five,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 5: that's five Oh my God, yeah, that's a long wait,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 5: but hey, betterly than never. But they got to really
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 5: plan their future not based on just that gift money,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 5: but what else they're going to do with their life
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 5: and career.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: Candy no research to doing this opinion will work.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: I understand from the woman's side of it, one hundred
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: and six kids? Are you kidding me? What kind of
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: a job do you have to be able to support
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: one hundred and six kids? Like that just blows my mind.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: And also, like Marvin said, how much time can you
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: invest in each of these kids? You know that That's
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: where I feel bad for the kids because A you
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: need to support them monetary, monetarily and have an impact
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: in their life. I don't know with one hundred and
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: six kids how you can effectively be in their lives
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: and support them, you know. Granted I don't know if
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: they all live in the same city or if they
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: go to the same school like you know, but like,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: how do you support them, Like if they're playing sports,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: then you know when they could be all over I
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: don't know. I have a hard time with that that one.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: Jacob huh was one of his kids. Allen Iverson seriously,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: but the biggest thing about it is this sounds like
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: he also wants there's also grandkids out there somewhere, and
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: he wants to be able to protect the morning does
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: the kids, and he hopes the kids will be around,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: and they will and they be able to make their
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: own way. But by itself, all I think about is
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty kids, and I'm like that, But
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: think about this right now, Tyreek Hill just broke his legs,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: so he's got time. Now, he's got time to get
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: it to catch up to that. So but no, really,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: by itself, it's like, this is what that is. I
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: mean in itself, I mean, in a certain way, Warren
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: Buffet's doing the same thing. He's telling his kids, you're
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: gonna get a certain amount of ninety nine percent is
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: going to go to charity, and it's going to go
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: against charity. So there's that, you know. So I mean
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: there's an americanized version. There's that version.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, there's a topic that's a little disturbing for me,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to mention anyway because it's a media
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: topic one that I'm not happy about. Local news reporter
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: turns himself in or Rolex step Michael Huda turned himself
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: in stealing his neighbors eighteen sixteen thousand dollars rolex. His
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: neighbor gave him a spare key in case of emergency
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: because he had left for Spain for two weeks. Who
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: that ponded and with his own ID. He's a reporter
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: for WSVN ABC Channel seven in Miami. This is annoying. Sorry,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: this was maybe a little over your head too, JJ,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, maybe this industry doesn't pay a lot. I
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: don't know what was going through this guy said when
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't and he thoughts about the Rolex media guy
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: that will find himself not living in his own apartment
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: if indeed bigger charges are brought against him.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 7: I mean, if he turned himself in, at least he's
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: admitting the mistake that he made and understanding that it's wrong,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 7: and at least it was most likely returned if he
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 7: did that. But as you mentioned, you know, some people
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 7: need to have these things, and if the industry and
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 7: their job doesn't give them the financial means to want
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 7: to have that, then you know, I can't say understand it.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 7: I think it's horrible that he would steal someone else's rolex.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: And I don't understand why you steal.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 8: A role x. If you're just going to turn yourself in, you.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: Might as well just steal it overall. But yeah, I
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: mean you turn himself in, so at least he's admitting
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: the mistake. I think it's a horrible thing. As you mentioned,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: it's seventeen or eighteen thousand dollars if someone else's material,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 7: and that's something they bought and worked very hard for,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 7: so it should be theirs and they shouldn't have to
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: worry on if someone else is going to steal it
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 7: from them.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: Marvin, just think about in our culture, the relationship you
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: have with the person who you give a spare key to,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: you know, the trust you have in them and the
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: comfort that you have and knowing that you have that
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: kind of person in your life, and then they go
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: in and do something stupid like this, you know, and
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: it's just makes you just want to stay in the
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 6: house and not deal with these human beings at all. Right,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 6: So just demoralizing and defeating, uh with someone just change
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: to trust like that, And it's unfortunate, you know, the
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: idea that he there was a little bit of accountability
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: here and that he acknowledged that acknowledged his wrongdoing, turning
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: himself in.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 9: All right, that's cute.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 6: You know, we'll consider that of sentencing, I guess or
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 6: what however, he's penalized.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 9: But this is really.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: Unfortunate, man, And this is uh, this is one more
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 6: it's one more unfortunate example of some of the bad
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 6: things you got to deal with.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 9: I hear with these human beings, George, Yeah, I mean.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 4: This is something that doesn't make sense to me.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 5: He had a career in broadcasting, like you said, Scott,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 5: the local stations in Miami, and and really it was dumb.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 5: It was dumb for you to think that a you
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: could get away with it and be that it wouldn't
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: cost uh, I mean that it could even cost you
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 5: your job. I had a friend recently, real quick, and
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: he did something very similar. He was gone for a
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: while from his health and he gave the key to
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 5: the next door neighbor boy and sure enough of stuff
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: was missing. So it's not that uncommon, but it is
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: very sad, and especially like you said, Scott, in the
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 5: news media, you're there to report news, as the saying goes,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 5: you're not here to make news. But this guy certainly
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 5: did with that role X shame shame.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's unfortunate and I read, but again I have
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: to get it up there as part of our industry
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: that does is what happened in JJ. The lesson we learned,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: it's called the right to know, and that's where I
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: come up with these topics, is the right to know,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: whether they're good, bad, or ugly. It's a right to know.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: And that's what we aim to do here on the network,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: is to inform and educate and entertain, and that those
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: of the valuable lessons JJ you're going to get as
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: time goes on.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: Candy, So the victim and who that were neighbors for
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: six months, who deck adds a spare key to his
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: neighbor's apartment for emergencies. The theft occurred in July of
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five while the victim was on a two
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: week vacation in Spain. After he returned, the neighbor discovered
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: his rolex was missing, despite no signs of forced entry.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: The watch was eventually traced to a local pawn shop,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: where records show Houdec had used his Florida ID to
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: pawn it for seven thousand dollars. According to the rest report,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: the victim was shown a text message from Hudec admitting
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: to the theft. He surrendered to police on August twenty
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: eighth of twenty twenty five and was charged with felony
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: counts of grand theft and burglary of an unoccupied dwelling.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean, come on, you knew it was wrong.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: Why even do it? Like there are a lot of
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: jobs that once they learn that you have been charged
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: with a felony, you're done. You're done. It's just the
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: way it is. And uh, obviously he was desperate for something.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: He must have needed some money for whatever reason, and
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: that's not coming out. It's sad. Uh. But I in
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: the same breath, I'd be hard pressed after I knew
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: somebody for only six months to be given them a
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: key to my to my house. Nowadays when hm hmm,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: there's so much identity theft, so much and not just
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: theft of your possessions, but there's identity theft and everything
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: that you have to be so careful about. So I don't,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: like I said, I wouldn't do it after six months.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: I agree, Jacob, you know, I think it's stupid. I'm
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: glad he's gonna paint a price with charges. Think Hi
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: got the last words it with a flurry of NBA
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: topics and pundit punet. We will have time to get
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: everything in there, the stuff I had going forward. kJ
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: I know you can do easily work. Just pay the knights, Okay,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: so hang with us, all right, you're doing a great job.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, and Jacob. Yeah.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: The thing is we have to ask why these people
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: do this. It's like the ones that would look like
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: that they have some kind of wealth or they're they're
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: fine with their money. I mean, I've heard things from
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: when on a writer years ago for shoplifting, which this
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: is right in the middle of her career. You hear
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: these type of I mean, you hear these stories all
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: the time. You hear you hear these NFL players, some
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: of FL and some of the college players with an
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: nil hold sticking people up at this point. I mean
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: all that because it's not like that they needed money
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: at this point of time. It's a mental illness. It's like,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: in this guy's case, how do we know and you
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: brought up a good point, Kenny, how do we know
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: that you know you didn't have a gambling problem. But
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: there's already there's already a certain one in Detroit right
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: now who got his got his checks pulled and everything
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: like that because he had a gambling problem, right And
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: it's like, how do we know that? I mean, they
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: make the money, but do they keep the money? And
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: it's like and they get themselves desperate, and it's like, really,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of it is just a mental illness. A
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: lot of them they get in over their head. That's
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: just what it is.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: Okay. On some stuff. Would you like a new owner
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: in with the Knicks? Marvin? Are you a Knicks man.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 9: To a degree? To a degree?
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 6: Again, I'm my loyalty is to the brond them Lakers.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: But yeah, growing up between LA and New York, I
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: absolutely read Root for the Knicks back in the day
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: when they have Patrick Ewing, and we absolutely need a
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: new owner without question.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, good, this this topic definitely for you. Okay. I
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: was hoping you would say that. So coming from Magic Johnson. Okay,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: if James Doan ever puts the Knicks up for sale,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: I will be the first in line. This comes from
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: Magic Johnson. Would you be a Nick fan of Magic Johnson?
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: Owned it?
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 6: Absolutely? I think Magic knows exactly how to how to
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 6: run an organization. I think he's you know, he's been
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 6: involved as an executive, he's been involved as a head coach,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 6: obviously as a player. He's had a relationship with the owner,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 6: and he understands the inner workings of a team. He
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 6: understands culture, he understands winning. Hopefully, you know, if that
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: would have happened, he would just be able to find
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: a GM that he would trust. But I would absolutely
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 6: be way more inclined to follow the next and get
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: the Knicks merchandise if Irvin Magic Johnson was the owner
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 6: of that team.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: J Jason.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So as someone who was born in New York
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 7: and lived my first eight years of my life there,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 7: I do have ties to that. And yeah, you know,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 7: the franchise, the team is probably the most famous in
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 7: all the NBA, the most famous arena in terms of
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 7: the ownership situation.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 8: You know, the Celtics just.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 7: Sold for six billion dollars and some may argue that
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 7: the Knicks may sell for more. And looking at you know,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 7: Magic's networth right now. In his salary as of September thirtieth,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty five, it says he has one point four billion,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 7: noting that the Celtics just sold for six billion. It
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: you know, you don't know if he's gonna want to
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 7: do that, if he has the means to do that,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 7: I would look for more of a you know, a
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 7: guy who we can one hundred percent of sure can
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 7: buy them. But yeah, I think he'd be a great owner.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 7: He's a great guy. He knows the game of basketball
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 7: better than anyone else. And I think the Knicks, you know,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 7: might need a new ownership for sure.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 5: George, Yeah, I mean, it is difficult to comprehend. That's
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 5: Celtic sales so much money, my goodness, and I you know,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 5: but if the guy is if it's you know, if
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 5: they're all vetted, very vetted, if you will, the end
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 5: is very good about that, and the NIXT seem to
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 5: be stuck in this, you know, same kind of mode
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 5: that a lot of teams are, you know, first round. Okay,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 5: got to the second round after you beat Detroit this
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 5: past season. But I really am not close enough to
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 5: say that the owner has been that bad, but I
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 5: know you are, Marvin, and I will definitely agree that
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 5: the change of ownership in this situation would help.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 4: I think it would help the Knicks. They just got
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: to get to that next level.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, they do, they do. Yeah.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: With the history that he's had in this league, I
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: would definitely say he should be an owner, and I
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 3: would support that wholeheartedly, even though I am not a
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: Knicks fan.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: Jacob dol it's horrible, So yeah, they need a change.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: I think you're the thing of Magic though, just a
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: little piece of this. Magic and Larry grew up together.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: I mean basically play together and retire together. You know
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: that had their rival. But let me say this part.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: Larry knew how to piece things together. I mean within
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: as far as being like a president at GM and
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, Magic doesn't. Magic's a tremendous owner. He's
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: a tread's owner, meaning he could be able to hire
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: the right people. He's been He's done great with the
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: Dodgers and his partial ownership. He's done great with the Commanders.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: He's done all these wonderful but as a coach horrible,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: as any kind of president or GM horrible. It's like
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: he can be able to hire the right people. And
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: he's a charmer. He's the big smile and he's a charmer,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: so he can go get the right people to be
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: able to do the job, but makes it make sure
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: it's ownership that he can get the right people. Don't
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: let it be any more than that.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, one more basketball thing and then we're going to
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: yes and no basketball. Then we go to fund fund that.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: Ray Allen said Celtics mistreatment led to his move to
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: the Miami Heat. I understand where you're placing my value.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: Once they started signing everybody else, they pushed me down,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: and I can see it. They're not calling me back
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: and they're saying, we're going to wait and do your contract.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna place any value on me to get
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: anything done. All right, Well, that sounds like a guy
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: JJ that didn't feel like he was appreciated with Boston
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: came to Miami. What are your thoughts about ray Allen?
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 7: You know, that's a guy who was way before my generation.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 8: So I probably don't have the best idea on him.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 8: I'm more of a.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 7: Modern YUY and so I don't feel like I'm good
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 7: to speak on him.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 6: No big deal, Okay, Marvin JJ from the Steph Curryer
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 6: listen Ray Allen one of the greatest shooters in the
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: history of the game. Without question. He was considered elite
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: during his day, and he's body who is relevant with
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: that question. Yeah, he I mean, ultimately they I think
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 6: it did push him out. I think he kind of
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 6: rot as welcome a little bit. It seems like a
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 6: lot of those guys in Boston are still united and
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 6: stayed cool, and he was an odd man out. So
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 6: I kind of tell he kind of tells you it
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 6: may have been him being the issue. I don't know,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: but he was a hell of a player, one of
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 6: the most iconic shots in the Heat history.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: George.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it definitely smells of him being pushed out.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 5: I've always liked him as a ballplayer. I mean, he's
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: very talented, good shots, good shots selection and I really think.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: That Ray Allen.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 5: You know, it sounds like you get the short end
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 5: of the stick. But like you, like you said, Barbara,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 5: we don't know the whole situation. We don't know everything,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 5: but yeah, I think that he's got a right to complain.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: I Ray Allen. He was a Milwaukee Buck for years.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: He played with the Bucks from ninety six to two
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: thousand and three. Then he was traded to Seattle and
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: in that trade was Gary Payton if you don't, if
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 3: you all remember, it was determined that they thought that
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: ray Allen had kind of a contentious relationship with coach
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: George Carrol at the time, and that was probably why
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: he was dealt. But he was a great shooter, all
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: around shooter. He could put it up wherever he was
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: on the court, especially especially on the three point line.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: But was he moved on and pushed out I'm guessing yeah.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: I mean that was near the end of his career too,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 3: Like he started with the Bucks back in ninety six,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 3: so he had already been in the lead for how
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: many years at that point as well?
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: Take him.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: Ray Allen was picking. Ray Allen's situation was just the
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: fact that he was in those quote unquote wrong era,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: Because if he was on the Celtics in this era
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: where they shoot nine hundred and seventy two threes a game,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: they would have thought about him first, they really would have,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: because this this is the three point era. So that's
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: why they did by itself. There they're looking at him
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: as basically a cog, you know, and the main man
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: was like, what was that Kevin Garnett, you know and
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: all those guys, and he's the main guy of the
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: three and then that's what they're thinking here now Ray
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: Allen would be the megastar. It's a three point set
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: and he was a phenomenal three point shooter. But they
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: they didn't they like they said that. I mean, I
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: was making a little bit of exclamation there, but they
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: shoot nine hundred three is a game. He'd be right
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: in this era, right now, right on the right up there.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: So the big thing about this is is yeah, but
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: I mean by itself. But you know something, he helped
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: Miami and it's like you can't go back, and I
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: don't think he wants to.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: Well, bottom line, I felt like I feel like it
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: was just affected in Boston. That's why I went to
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: Miami and his career, so to speaking. Believe it at
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: that all right, real quick question, punting and you know what, JJ,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: if we get a minute, I want you to tell
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: your story at the end of the show. I think
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: it's something a lot of people will be impressed. Okay,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: and we brought you on here. You've been really quite
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: I know there's some topics that they're a little bit
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: before your time, but you've handled him really well. But
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: that you've been able to do, and you definitely bring
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air and youth to this show,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: something that it certainly is glad to have now. All Right,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: So with the final NBA typic of the night, Kendrick
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: Perkinsay's rage on Rondo should make the Hall of Fame
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: if Reggie Miller and Chauncey Billups did. I hope nobody
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: takes this with disrespect. You know. Okay, we'll start off
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: with you, Jacob. You think Rondo belongs in the Hall
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: of Fame? Yes or no?
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: It's the first and only time going to believe in
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: in Kendrick Perkins. It's like, yeah, I'm gonna believe in
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: that because my main thing is he was an absolute hustler,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: an old school hustler from the time, and I am.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: I'm absolutely for that. But I mean, take a look
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: at this time stamp. Right now, we're at about ten
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: fifty three of this era, like ten to one, and
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: I have a and this would be the last time
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: that I'm gonna believe in anything. Kendrick Perkins says.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Well, you have a pun of funded
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: but okay, you know what I'm kind of with you.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: I'll say what I have to say I agree with you,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: and it is the last time that I'll agree with
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: anything that Kendrick Perkinson got too all the way, Andy,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: yes or no? Do you think he belongs in?
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm kind of on the fence. I mean,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: he played from two thousand and six to twenty twenty two,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: but he has he only scored nine three hundred and
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 3: thirty seven points. We just talked about ray Allen, and
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: I know that we said ray Allen was a shooter.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: For ray Allen, he's twenty four thousand and five points. Okay,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be my So I'm on the fence with
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: with whether Rono deserves to be in the Hall of
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 3: Fame or not.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: I'm only gonna say yes because he's won championships.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: George, Yeah, I I would say yes. I think he is.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 4: He should be elected. Maybe not.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 5: Without a lot of further betting, but the fact of
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 5: the matter is is he did have a very nice
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 5: career in the NBA.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say yeah, I think he should be.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 6: Marvin, I think they I think the Hall of Fame
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 6: is for the very very best, not the very very good.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 6: But what that said, the NBA lets everybody in. I
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 6: feel like, I feel like everybody gets into the the
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, and you're right if they're
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 6: gonna let Chohncey in and let uh, you know, Reggie
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 6: Mailer run, even though Reggie I think was a different
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 6: caliber player. You know, when you first asked the question,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 6: answer is no. But as I heard people speak and
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 6: I thought about it, particularly Jacob, absolutely, Ronald should be in.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: You have any opinion on this?
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he should definitely be in the Hall
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 7: of Fame, winning two NBA titles and you know his
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 7: playmaking ability. He led the assists three times in twenty twelve,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 7: twenty thirteen, twenty sixteen. And right now, what is the
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 7: NBA missing. It's missing a lot of defense and defense played.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 7: And he played defense a lot. He's a four time
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 7: defensive team and you know that shows a lot of
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 7: defensive toughness and not the fact that he just wants
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 7: to score himself, because he playmakes a lot and gets
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 7: his teammates involved with him being a three time assist
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 7: leader and then also playing very tough defense. And then
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 7: also he is a four time NBA also.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: Right stop, lot, this kid good stop.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: So can I just add Marvin, you talked about a
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: lot of people get into the NBA Hall of Fame.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 3: There's actually been over four eight hundred players have appeared
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: in at least one game in NBA's history, and only
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 3: three percent are actually in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 9: Okay, I feel I feel like everybody gets in. I
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 9: do well.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: Baseball one get in, so three is better than one.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: Great information all the way around. All right, pundit, pundit Jacob,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: I know you're waiting, thanks to your patience timestamped ten

  Speaker 1: fifty six. We're getting near the end anyways, and then
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: time permitting, I want JJ to give a couple of
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: minutes about his background for you young people. This kid's
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: in inspiration, looking forward to hiving them on Wednesday night.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: Now that he's been I have to make sure some
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: of these topics are a little bit closer to what
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: he's able to do. But now I know what I
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: have and I know how I have to constructions going
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: forward with JJ on great first tact o kid. All right,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Jacob, Pundit's fundit, JJ.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: This is this is the best pundit's pundits for you tonight.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: This is a little thing I wanted to tell you
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: about I was. I was very I'm very impressed with you,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: very impressed the knowledge that you have and all that
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And I'm happy to see there what
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: you're doing. To understand why I'm this impressed and stuff
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: is because at six years old I got into sports. Okay,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: I absorbed all of it. I absorbed all of it,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: Like I mean, I was like by eight years old,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: I was doing I was doing Oakland. I'm a Chicago
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: Cubs fan, and I was doing Oakland AD's nineteen seventies
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: that starting lineups in my head. I was kind of
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: the Circus Act at every place I would go, which
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: my brother loved, and my dad drove them nuts. You know,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think he wanted the Circus Act for a sign.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: But you want to know what I didn't do.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: Like you did.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: You're working, You're put in the extra you put in
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: the extra mile. I did it late in life, so
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of you. I want you to know that.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: I want to give you a little piece of advice though,
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: as you get older, as you get into this world
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: and it's like this is a very divided world, be
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: independent and true to yourself. That's the first step that
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: it's going to be whatsoever, don't follow anybody. It's the deal.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: I always have a saying that I was talking about today.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 2: There are the people that follow their way are They're
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: the people that run their own business or follow their
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: own way. And then there's the cattle. There's just the
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: workers that do what the I'll just say it for
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: this world. They're the ones that do what the editors want.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: There's I call it or they want. They do what
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: they want to like you know, they do what the
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: person wants to say. I Wendy's will bring that up.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: They do everything they want. They're waiting for the boss
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: to say something. That's what I call cattle, and they're
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: ready to be slaughtered. You've got you are something special
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: with what you're doing, not only having the knowledge, yeah,
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: the same amount of knowledge as I had, but you work.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm proud of you for that, and I'm very
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: proud of you for that. The biggest piece of it,
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: I've gave you that one piece of advice. The other
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: piece of advice I can say is the one thing
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: I do every morning is I check emails because I
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: have everything on emails, everything from sports, business to regular

  Speaker 1: done when you started where you're at, and we have

  Speaker 7: Well, first off, Jacob, thank you so much for the advice.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 7: I'll definitely take that into account for sure, and definitely,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 7: you know, really appreciate the kind words about actually working
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 7: at this age, and I'll definitely make sure check my email,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 7: learn as much as I can, and you know, meet
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 7: and make as many connections, whether it's at a party
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 7: or whatever it is, with as many people as possible.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 7: So thank you so much for that. I really appreciate
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 7: that a lot, and I really will take that into account.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 7: And again, this is a lot of fun coming on
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 7: today's show, so you know, I had a lot of
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 7: fun learning and talking. So yeah, So to get into
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 7: my story, as Jacob said, you know, when he was young,
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 7: when he was six, he loved sports, and I loved
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 7: sports just as much as him. And you know, when
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 7: I see my parents, they start a work week on Monday,
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 7: they're not enthusiastic, They're not excited to go to work,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 7: and that's because I don't think that they love their job.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 7: So when I'm older, what I wanted to do is
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 7: be able to love my job, and I want to
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 7: find something that I love, and when I was ten
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 7: years old, as Scott said, I wanted to do something
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 7: that I was passionate about. And I've always loved sports,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 7: so why not talk about sports and why not create
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 7: my own podcast? So I created my own podcast at
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 7: the age of ten, and I wanted to talk about
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 7: FAU because they were the local team here to boker Reton, Florida,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 7: and it was very easy to be able to go
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 7: to games, and at the time, I was going as
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 7: a fit So I did that for about a year
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 7: and an FAU media site called fau Al's Nest, they
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 7: saw the podcast, they picked it up. They said, hey,
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 7: we love you to write for us, We'd love you
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 7: to podcast for us. And from there everything really took
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 7: off in my career. I started getting credentials for them.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 7: I got a job with Dolphins Talk where now I'm
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 7: credentialed for them, and I grew my own social media
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 7: page through that, and then when FA you made the
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 7: Final four, I got a credential to go to that
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 7: and that's when, you know, my page started doing very well.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 7: So that's overall how it started, and I've gotten you know,
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 7: a plethora of other opportunities throughout my few years and
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 7: I'm taking every chance that I get. I've also, you know,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 7: something that really sparked my interest is going to yearly
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 7: summer sports broadcasting camps, which are a lot of fun
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 7: and I get an opportunity to experience rep live on camera.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 7: And what I'm trying to do now is put my
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 7: name out there, get as much experience as I possibly can,
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 7: and talk about what I love to do, because when
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 7: I'm older, I want to do something that I love
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 7: and this is really what I love and what my
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 7: passion is, and I want to continue to do this
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 7: when I'm older. Sold the fact Scott that you're giving
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 7: me this opportunity means so much to me, and again,
