4:27
Speaker 6: So there's some you know we're there, but okay, well,
4:30
Speaker 6: don't get me started this rant.
4:31
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to get this. I want
4:34
Speaker 1: to hear this one.
4:34
Speaker 6: The logistics of it, though I always it kind of
4:37
Speaker 6: bums me out when the Boys Tournament in Wisconsin is
4:40
Speaker 6: up against the first weekend of the NC.
4:43
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, double this shop, get a little bit over shadow.
4:47

Speaker 4: at one hour preview show tomorrow or Thursday, right at
4:54
Speaker 4: twelve thirty, an important game that's off. Wife's not why
5:00
Speaker 4: in that one. I'm telling you Cherry's like, hey, honey,
5:02
Speaker 4: I love you, but the Badger's are. But I can
5:05
Speaker 4: tell you this that haven't chuck in and talk about
5:08
Speaker 4: a guy that knows. He'll say, hey, the point guard
5:11
Speaker 4: from Bondell, you know, heard his ankle game two of
5:13
Speaker 4: the year, but he's back and so he brings a
5:16
Speaker 4: lot to a show like that. So we'll do a
5:18
Speaker 4: one hour previous show on my twenty four to tomorrow
5:21
Speaker 4: or Thursday, yep, tomorrow at twelve thirty, and then.
5:24
Speaker 1: Again on Friday at eight thirties.
5:25
Speaker 6: Yes, and then my other rants about the state high
5:27
Speaker 6: school tournament is again, I liked it better when we
5:30
Speaker 6: had the Thursday and we had eight teams.
5:32
Speaker 4: Here, give me a hug, you know what. Sure, I
5:34
Speaker 4: love my wife, but you come a close second run. Man,
5:37
Speaker 4: I've been I'm being playing at Steven's point.
5:40
Speaker 1: What are we doing?
5:40
Speaker 6: We took something that was really great and we've watered
5:43
Speaker 6: it down and like it's not as good as it
5:45
Speaker 6: could be.
5:46
Speaker 1: It's not.
5:46
Speaker 6: And we had you know, the big division deserves the
5:49
Speaker 6: biggest bracket and teas.
5:51
Speaker 4: Back when I was coaching, we'd get a thirty minute
5:53
Speaker 4: run on the court and that was so cool for
5:56
Speaker 4: our kids and for us because we could watch, Okay,
5:59
Speaker 4: what we're playing against them, and what are they doing
6:01
Speaker 4: in their thirty minutes and you could get out and
6:03
Speaker 4: get your kids, could get a feel for the court,
6:05
Speaker 4: get a feel for the hoops.
6:07
Speaker 1: And they took that away.
6:08
Speaker 7: Well, and that feel for the court's an important thing, right,
6:11
Speaker 7: Like I mean, it's a different it's a different beast.
6:13
Speaker 7: You're playing on a much bigger court, and the rotations
6:16
Speaker 7: and everything are gonna be just a tick differently.
6:18
Speaker 4: It's ten feet long or five feet in either side.
6:20
Speaker 4: And what people don't understand is that's a huge deal,
6:23
Speaker 4: especially you know your kids.
6:25
Speaker 1: The heart is pounded a little bit.
6:27
Speaker 4: If you can slow the heart down a little bit,
6:29
Speaker 4: but you have to shorten your rotations. Some guys do,
6:32
Speaker 4: some guys don't. But everybody tries to get up to
6:35
Speaker 4: Madison Edgewood to get on that court to get a run, right,
6:39
Speaker 4: or you find a college court to try to get
6:41
Speaker 4: your guys and for tomorrow or for Friday.
6:45
Speaker 1: The teams that play at nine am.
6:47
Speaker 4: I know schools that go to their ad and their
6:48
Speaker 4: principal and go, look, could we get our basketball team
6:51
Speaker 4: out of nine am class? We got to get them
6:54
Speaker 4: used to playing at nine am. And some schools are
6:57
Speaker 4: good with that. In other schools, yeah, that's so much.
7:00
Speaker 1: Not so much. They're like, no, you're not kidding. You
7:02
Speaker 1: can't get the kid out of study hall.
7:04
Speaker 2: Go.
7:04
Speaker 7: It depends on if we're if we're talking to an
7:07
Speaker 7: assistant principle that used to be an athletic director and
7:09
Speaker 7: assistant principle that used to be a library, and they.
7:13
Speaker 1: Gonna have gym class in the gym. You know, there's
7:15
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on.
7:17
Speaker 7: We can move down on it, right, we're talking about
7:18
Speaker 7: state titles here, we're talking were talking about trying to
7:20
Speaker 7: win for win for the program and win for this
7:22
Speaker 7: one hundred.
7:22
Speaker 3: Like I always kind of had this thought that you know,
7:24
Speaker 3: I think about over the years some of the really
7:26
Speaker 3: good teams that were in other divisions, or I think
7:29
Speaker 3: in the girls side that was Ousburg this year, that
7:32
Speaker 3: that that played a lot of other divisions, that they're
7:34
Speaker 3: good stories. I always kind of wished that that we
7:37
Speaker 3: could do something in the basketball tournament where the division
7:40
Speaker 3: champions played each other, you know, only a couple extra
7:43
Speaker 3: games for like an all division state champion. Wouldn't that
7:46
Speaker 3: be cool to see some of these teams I've always wondered,
7:48
Speaker 3: like the Dominican years when they had diamond Stone and
7:50
Speaker 3: those guys can go up against.
7:52
Speaker 4: D one, Yeah yeah, or a little prior to that
7:54
Speaker 4: when when I was over there, but yeah, yeah, and
7:56
Speaker 4: you know I can tell you this, those those schools
7:59
Speaker 4: all try to play up right in certainly non conference,
8:03
Speaker 4: and some of them play up in in conference. I
8:06
Speaker 4: would love that. Try to get that, try to get
8:08
Speaker 4: the WIA to approve that. No problem, right, I'm not
8:13
Speaker 4: liking the chance. No, no good luck with that because
8:16
Speaker 4: I can tell you that that's probably not gonna happen.
8:19
Speaker 4: But Armin, I'll tell you this, the amount of people
8:22
Speaker 4: that would come out to watch that, How fun would
8:24
Speaker 4: that be? And and Mark Miller tries to do some
8:26
Speaker 4: of that with the w by shoot up right. He
8:28
Speaker 4: tries to get teams that you know are are so
8:32
Speaker 4: good in their division to play up a little bit
8:34
Speaker 4: and play against teams they've never played before and aren't
8:37
Speaker 4: going to play.
8:37
Speaker 1: So he does a good job. Well And how cool
8:39
Speaker 1: is that too?
8:40
Speaker 7: Where w b y we've been able to and I've
8:43
Speaker 7: been lucky enough to sit next to you and call
8:44
Speaker 7: some of those games here on nine twenty in previous
8:47
Speaker 7: years and hopefully get another shot too. But like when
8:49
Speaker 7: you see the talent just exploding through the state, right,
8:54
Speaker 7: Freedom's got one of the best players in the state. Obviously,
8:55
Speaker 7: Ashkosh North has become a little bit of a factory
8:58
Speaker 7: in university of Wisconsin. De p is Mala Basketball factory
9:02
Speaker 7: as well. But it's cool to be able to see
9:05
Speaker 7: the best players where there's more of the best players.
9:07
Speaker 7: It feels like Mike playing all of the best guys
9:10
Speaker 7: early on to make themselves better so that they can
9:12
Speaker 7: hopefully be able to get to this.
9:13
Speaker 1: Point hundred percent.
9:14
Speaker 4: And look, when you talk about Division four in Milwaukee Juno,
9:18
Speaker 4: first time they've ever gotten there. And Dudy Johnson has committee.
9:21
Speaker 4: He's a junior committed to Gonzaga, So how many times
9:25
Speaker 4: did Goazaga come to this area?
9:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, he recruits somebody.
9:29
Speaker 4: And the fact that his dad, Tory is the head coach,
9:31
Speaker 4: and he played at Milwaukee Juno, played at UWM. And
9:34
Speaker 4: on the press conference that we had, he said, look,
9:38
Speaker 4: when I was seventeen years old, I didn't have somebody
9:41
Speaker 4: guided me through some of this stuff, and I wish
9:43
Speaker 4: I did, so I'm trying to do that for these kids.
9:45
Speaker 4: And he did a great job at the press conference.
9:47
Speaker 4: And they had one loss, like their second game of
9:50
Speaker 4: the year against West Allis Central, and other than that
9:55
Speaker 4: they've they've gone undefeated. And I asked him in that
9:57
Speaker 4: press conference, did you think that He said, absolutely, not.
10:00
Speaker 4: He said, Milwaukee, Jo, We've never gotten to State never.
10:03
Speaker 1: That's amazing here. Yeah, the Mighty Pioneers, many.
10:07
Speaker 6: Pioneers and yeah, and when the dad played, they went
10:10
Speaker 6: to sectionals. That's as far as they've ever gotten. Right
10:12
Speaker 6: now they're trying to finish it. That's the best story.
10:15
Speaker 6: I mean, Wisconsin Lan's great story in national program and everything,
10:18
Speaker 6: but that to me is like the story of the tournaments.
10:20
Speaker 1: I want to see Juno in their first.
10:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna play the late game on Thursday, so
10:25
Speaker 4: that about eight o'clock tip against regis the three seed
10:29
Speaker 4: and that really there's a lot of interesting things going
10:32
Speaker 4: through this even with teams from not from not around here,
10:36
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a really good tournament.
10:38
Speaker 1: It just always is.
10:39
Speaker 4: It starts in Division three and when you think of
10:42
Speaker 4: Seymour and Saint Croix Central are going to start it off,
10:45
Speaker 4: and then Lake Mills against Ristine, Saint Catharines and Billy
10:48
Speaker 4: are gonna love this.
10:49
Speaker 1: Six of their players are football guys, that's what I'm talking.
10:52
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of Hamblton. I'm talking Hamilton going
10:55
Speaker 1: to Minnesota.
10:56
Speaker 2: The E. J.
10:57
Speaker 4: Vinson, who's their starting quarterback is to stout to play football,
11:02
Speaker 4: but six of their their their their basketball players all
11:06
Speaker 4: compete and get after it. And he said, look, they're
11:08
Speaker 4: really tough and and they're all football guys, and you
11:11
Speaker 4: know they like to whin.
11:12
Speaker 1: They think we're getting more of that, though.
11:14
Speaker 7: Do you think we're getting to a point now where
11:16
Speaker 7: more high school coaches are kind of working together to
11:19
Speaker 7: try to get guys out for more sports, because it
11:21
Speaker 7: feels like it's almost like a competition between maybe more
11:24
Speaker 7: on basketball side of like, hey, let's keep them competing
11:26
Speaker 7: for the school instead of with eighteen different AAU programs.
11:30
Speaker 7: And if you want to go play football and you
11:31
Speaker 7: want to compete, go competer am I kind of I
11:34
Speaker 7: don't know, well for sure not in girls sports fair
11:37
Speaker 7: you know, girls basketball is dying on the vine right now,
11:40
Speaker 7: as first numbers it is.
11:42
Speaker 4: And and look, my favorite story on the girls side
11:45
Speaker 4: was Picelli. They had ten players, ten players in the
11:49
Speaker 4: whole program. They can barely scrimmage and practice.
11:52
Speaker 1: And then one got hurt and one stepped away for stuff. Yeah,
11:58
Speaker 1: he had eight had eight players.
12:01
Speaker 4: She had, She had teachers that would come into practice
12:04
Speaker 4: to get a run in, or she'd find boys that
12:06
Speaker 4: had played in the program years ago. To come back,
12:09
Speaker 4: I couldn't ask people every so we ran more three
12:12
Speaker 4: on three, four and four. And then she made a comment,
12:14
Speaker 4: she said, we shot more free throws a practice anybody
12:17
Speaker 4: in the because I couldn't wear these girls. They had
12:20
Speaker 4: eight players. I looked on the bench. She had more
12:22
Speaker 4: assistant coaches. And they ended up winning the thing. It's
12:25
Speaker 4: like a whole Hoosier thing.
12:27
Speaker 7: And they became great rebounders because they never had anybody
12:29
Speaker 7: rebounded for their free throw.
12:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.
12:33
Speaker 1: So that for me, on the girl's side, was the
12:34
Speaker 1: best story.
12:35
Speaker 4: And on the boys side, look, if Swinger can can
12:40
Speaker 4: beat McFarlane on the one thirty on Friday, UH in
12:43
Speaker 4: Division two, and if Whitefish Bay can beat West Salem,
12:46
Speaker 4: you got two teams from the same conference. And so
12:49
Speaker 4: if people ask me all the time, what's the best
12:51
Speaker 4: football conference, it's the Classic. What's no, it's not it's
12:54
Speaker 4: up in the Valley. I know that what we already know. Yeah,
12:57
Speaker 4: we know the answer. And I get so many people
12:59
Speaker 4: saying you're wrong, giver, and I get that. I hear
13:01
Speaker 4: that in respect to the Fox that we know where. Yeah,
13:03
Speaker 4: but basketball, if you get two teams from the North
13:06
Speaker 4: Shore playing for a state championship.
13:08
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
13:09
Speaker 6: That's pretty good.
13:10
Speaker 3: You talk about Division one Wisconsin Lutheran obviously big favorite.
13:13
Speaker 3: Is this as strong a favorite as you can remember
13:15
Speaker 3: in D one? Mike through all those maybe the Stevens
13:17
Speaker 3: point run in those early Vincent Vincent I mean, I
13:22

Speaker 3: vincentine this.
13:24
Speaker 6: Run with dynasty, I'll put a stamp on.
13:28

13:29
Speaker 6: This could be like the run of like the greatest
13:32
Speaker 6: stretch ever dynastic high school team.
13:34
Speaker 3: Next year they'll have four four on that team, and
13:38
Speaker 3: you imagine being the fifth guy on that team.
13:39
Speaker 1: Huh. Pretty nice to ride that bus, I can. I
13:42
Speaker 1: can tell you.
13:43

Speaker 1: Like Cavon looney was a was a.
17:22
Speaker 7: Superstar yes WHEN i was younger and as a high,
17:25
Speaker 7: schooler he was the guy that you wanted to think,
17:28

17:32
Speaker 7: like is it just a different level of confidence in
17:34
Speaker 7: the kids?
17:35
Speaker 4: NOW i think because there are a lot of them
17:37
Speaker 4: play year, round right and Billion back in the, day
17:40
Speaker 4: you had guys from up north that if they came
17:43

17:48
Speaker 4: and now.
17:48
Speaker 1: The, man there's none of that.
17:50
Speaker 4: Anymore you're playing against people from all over the, country
17:53
Speaker 4: from every, neighborhood and there's no intimidation factor. Anymore and
17:58
Speaker 4: the amount that guys are Playing and we talked about
18:01
Speaker 4: multi multi sport, athletes you know a lot of these
18:04
Speaker 4: guys are, like, Now i'm a basketball, GUY i remember
18:08
Speaker 4: coaching THAT i had a kid who was about five
18:09
Speaker 4: eight and parents are yelling that he needs to play,
18:13
Speaker 4: more and he was a really good. Athlete AND i, said,
18:15
Speaker 4: LOOK I i love your. SON i think you'd be
18:17
Speaker 4: a great football. Player he would be a great corner
18:20
Speaker 4: of really good. Safety and they, said, no, no he's
18:21
Speaker 4: going to the. SHOW i, said he's five, eight he
18:24
Speaker 4: can't drou with his left hand and probably not going

18:30
Speaker 2: DO i.
18:31
Speaker 4: Do he's really good for our team at the high school.
18:33
Speaker 4: Level so that kind of. Stuff AND i think if

18:38
Speaker 4: get to learn how to, compete and you change the
18:41
Speaker 4: dynamic a little bit of your body so you're not
18:43
Speaker 4: just doing one thing and going back to that, BILLY
18:46
Speaker 4: i think it's important that kids do.
18:48
Speaker 7: THAT i JUST i believe so much in, it AND
18:51
Speaker 7: i JUST i think it guys helps more than anything
18:54
Speaker 7: learn to not be the best, player right like learning
18:57
Speaker 7: and being able to manufacture and get some more adversity
19:01

Speaker 1: Right you mentioned the.
26:46
Speaker 6: Weather John, greenberg president of The admirals joining, us how
26:48
Speaker 6: about a postponement due to unsafe ice. CONDITIONS i got
26:51
Speaker 6: that email the other day AND i know you guys
26:54
Speaker 6: are getting ready for a broadcast and a. Ballgame what happened,
26:58
Speaker 6: like how how calm is that in? League what are
27:01
Speaker 6: contingency plans for a malfunctioning or insufficient?
27:05
Speaker 2: Ice, well it was certainly a. Rarity what happened was
27:11
Speaker 2: Anandel arena And Grand. Rapids they had had a couple
27:15
Speaker 2: of events during the course of the week there which
27:18
Speaker 2: had their ice. Covered there was a power outage in
27:21
Speaker 2: Downtown Grand rapids which forced their ice system to shut.
27:26
Speaker 2: Down the backup system didn't, activate and when they, uncovered
27:31
Speaker 2: which unfortunately didn't happen until overnight before game day because
27:36
Speaker 2: they had a concert in their, building they found that
27:39
Speaker 2: there was a lot of degradation of the ice and
27:44
Speaker 2: it became. Unplayable both teams went and skated at the practice. Rink,
27:49
Speaker 2: well they worked on the ice all day. Long both
27:51
Speaker 2: teams took the pregame warm up and at that point
27:56
Speaker 2: it was deemed that it was not going to. Work
28:00
Speaker 2: so we've ended up having to postpone that and get
28:03
Speaker 2: it canceled as quickly as we. Could, unfortunately they had
28:06
Speaker 2: a building full of people at that, point so it
28:09
Speaker 2: was tough slotting for being able to convey that, message
28:15
Speaker 2: but we were able to play the next. Day ice wasn't,
28:19
Speaker 2: great but it was good. Enough. Uh you, know nobody
28:21
Speaker 2: wants to take advantage of a situation where you have
28:25
Speaker 2: to you, know be out, there you, know you, know
28:28
Speaker 2: putting your guys at, risk your you, know either, Team
28:31
Speaker 2: so you want to you want to get it where it's.
28:34
Speaker 2: Playable and, uh it was playable, enough and we ended
28:36
Speaker 2: up winning that, game which was even. Better but, then you,
28:39
Speaker 2: know it's this late in the. Season you have to
28:42
Speaker 2: try and find a rescheduled date and that is not
28:45
Speaker 2: an easy task, either because you don't have many days
28:48
Speaker 2: left on your calendar to squeeze a. Game and but
28:50
Speaker 2: we are going back To Grand rapids Next, tuesday, uh
28:54
Speaker 2: and we will play that. Game then it worked into our.
28:57
Speaker 2: Schedule it actually needed players associated approval because it Puts
29:02
Speaker 2: Grand rapids into a situation where they're playing four games
29:05
Speaker 2: in five, days which is against the. Rules but it
29:09
Speaker 2: was the only way to really make that.
29:11
Speaker 3: Work well and important because points are at a premium
29:14
Speaker 3: this time of the year and obviously admirals fighting for
29:16
Speaker 3: that playoff spot need every chance to get points they,
29:19
Speaker 3: can Right, Greenie.
29:21
Speaker 2: Absolutely and we're you, know sharing that message with. Them it's,
29:26
Speaker 2: like we can't just not play this. Game we need these.
29:28
Speaker 2: Points you, Know Grand rapids has obviously had unbelievable season so.
29:32
Speaker 2: Far they're they're way ahead of everybody in at The Western.
29:35
Speaker 2: Conference but those those points are important to us and
29:39
Speaker 2: we need to make sure we get these games.
29:41

Speaker 6: of the, green the green. Ice what kind of stuff
31:03

31:10
Speaker 2: to our good friends at at Miller core's And Beer
31:13
Speaker 2: capital about getting in some green, beer so we were
31:16
Speaker 2: able to do. That you, Know i'm not a big
31:20
Speaker 2: proponent of dyeing ice to a different color because generally
31:25
Speaker 2: it never looks the way you really wanted to, look
31:27
Speaker 2: and then it takes a lot of work to make
31:29
Speaker 2: it look the way it was supposed to look at
31:30
Speaker 2: the first. Place So i'm not a big proponent of.
31:33
Speaker 2: That but you, know certainly the special. Uniforms you, know
31:36
Speaker 2: we actually just had a game auction last week of
31:39
Speaker 2: a couple of our Old Saint Patrick's day uniforms that

38:06
Speaker 7: Of fame, says, well we have a very special place for.
38:07
Speaker 7: It these donated items represented defining moments of the world's

38:14
Speaker 7: hockey history at the highest. Level The olympics twenty six
38:17
Speaker 7: display will help ensure that these Unforgettable olympic moments are
38:21
Speaker 7: preserved for our guests around the world to. Experience but
38:25
Speaker 7: are they really experiencing it that much In? CANADA i
38:28
Speaker 7: don't know that The canadians really want to walk into
38:30
Speaker 7: Their Hockey hall Of fame and see a big old
38:32
Speaker 7: display of the two game winners against their country and
38:36
Speaker 7: the gold medal.
38:36
Speaker 1: Match that's a good. POINT i see both sides of
38:39
Speaker 1: this is kind of.
38:39
Speaker 3: Tough you think there should be something to commemorate a
38:42
Speaker 3: great event and things get sent to The hall Of
38:44
Speaker 3: fame all the. Time you, know bats and gloves and
38:47
Speaker 3: balls And germany are they donated by the? Player doesn't
38:52
Speaker 3: The Baseball hall Of fame just ask for some?
38:54
Speaker 6: Guys, yeah they have guys at major marquee. Events, yeah ask.
38:57
Speaker 2: How we need?
38:57
Speaker 1: This geta can we get? These it's Interesting do you
39:00
Speaker 1: have to say, yes? Okay do you have a choice
39:03
Speaker 1: in the? Matter who decides? That do they get?
39:05
Speaker 3: Jurisdiction there's a lot of interesting questions here AND i
39:09
Speaker 3: would think That, yet how much do The canadian fans
39:12
Speaker 3: want to Put Hockey hall famous for hockey fans in?
39:14
Speaker 1: General and can't they work with The?
39:17
Speaker 6: Jacks they're ignoring the last like twenty Some Stanley cup
39:21
Speaker 6: winners because they Weren't canadians.
39:24
Speaker 1: Ninety? THREE i, think can't they just get if he
39:27
Speaker 1: wants the?
39:27
Speaker 3: Puck can't they can't he send him a stick in
39:30
Speaker 3: exchange and keep the puck from some?
39:32
Speaker 2: Way they?
39:32
Speaker 7: Think but apparently it sounds like The Hockey hall Of fame, said, uh,
39:36
Speaker 7: no bet on.
39:37
Speaker 3: The manager whoever was supposed to get that pure. Stuff
39:40
Speaker 3: you got to think about. That who's getting the, ball
39:41
Speaker 3: who's getting the? Pucks The hall Of fame hasn't found.
39:45
Speaker 3: Uh Jack hughes did say he hasn't been able to
39:48
Speaker 3: get in touch with The hall Of. Fame The Hockey
39:50
Speaker 3: hall Of fame declined and did not respond to messages FROM.
39:54
Speaker 1: Esbu, ghosted nor did us say.
39:57
Speaker 7: Hockey and that's the interesting one, because like you just,
39:59
Speaker 7: SAID i would have thought it would have been the.
40:01
Speaker 7: PLAYER i would have thought The hall Of fame would
40:02
Speaker 7: have won up and, said hey, man can we have
40:03
Speaker 7: this golden? Goal can we celebrate? It can we put it?
40:05
Speaker 7: Up or you, know maybe they did just ask the
40:07
Speaker 7: equipment managers, like, yeah go, ahead YOU i was gonna,
40:09
Speaker 7: say where's The Jason, schager you, know where's?
40:12
Speaker 6: Shocks where is the equipment manager the best in the.
40:15
Speaker 6: Business the answer for, IT i know had an answer for.
40:19
Speaker 3: It, yeah the guys that think ahead about this stuff
40:21
Speaker 3: when The cubs in The World series in his, POCKET
40:25
Speaker 3: i do appreciate as kind of a sports nerd that
40:28
Speaker 3: did some guys think about that? STUFF i remember reading
40:32
Speaker 3: a story of When Larry Larry bird switched jerseys at
40:35
Speaker 3: halftime Of game six of the eighty Six finals because
40:37
Speaker 3: he knew they were gonna win and he wanted to
40:38
Speaker 3: have two jerseys from the from the championship game and
40:42
Speaker 3: stuff like.
40:42
Speaker 1: That so it is kind of.
40:43
Speaker 3: Cool But i'm sure you, know obviously you win a
40:46
Speaker 3: game like that in that moment's not really on your. Mind,
40:49
Speaker 3: uh but, man that is an interesting. One it's tough for.
40:52
Speaker 3: ME i would think he should get it back For.
40:55
Speaker 3: POPS i MEAN i would think, so BUT i think
40:56
Speaker 3: if he wants, it he should have. It, however, mean,
41:00
Speaker 3: REALLY i think it's total. BS i think it makes
41:03
Speaker 3: sense that The hall Of fame wants. It let us
41:05
Speaker 3: sit for a couple of weeks at The hall Of.
41:08
Speaker 1: FAME i don't. Know, yeah get, you'll we'll get. It
41:10
Speaker 1: we'll let it have a nice little run fear for
41:11
Speaker 1: a couple of, months and then we'll send it To.

Speaker 1: Pops put it on the. Man that's. Better that's the. Idea.
