- 1:07good to get on the road, but it's always some for some reason,
- 1:11it always feels good to come back home to your own bed. Yeah,
- 1:15sure does, All right. Jv ellis, what's going on? Glad to
- 1:19see guys? Yeah back, well, glad to see Tomorrow is the fourth?
- 1:22Nice to be a little bit earlier tonight. But I think we're gonna
- 1:25have a great show as always. Well, I know we're gonna have a
- 1:26great show when you see the topic, folks, if you're out there,
- 1:30get in the chat room. This show is eluded, right George Icorn,
- 1:34Hey, happy forth everybody on the third. And yes, I'm glad too
- 1:40that you're back. Thanks, we'll talk. I watched the trip, all
- 1:45right, let's get to it. Okay, First of all, let's get
- 1:47to doctor Julius Irving went on and record and said, if Lebron James didn't
- 1:52chase rings, he would be in my top ten all time. I got
- 1:57him ranked number fifteen, behind Scotty Pip and my goodness. So what do
- 2:01you think of that? N is doctor j Righter? Is he wrong?
- 2:07He's wrong? Listen, it's if anybody knows anything about me. I don't
- 2:12like Lebron James, but he's one of the top five players of all time.
- 2:16And you know, it's hard for me to go back before I was
- 2:21born to talk about Bill Russell and Will Chamberlain. But I'm gonna put those
- 2:25two with Kobe, Michael and Lebron, you know, and there's probably other
- 2:30old timers that I'm forgetting that may be in that category, but those are
- 2:34at the obvious top five. You know, no matter what order you want
- 2:37to put them in, depending on what your thought process is. To me,
- 2:40it'll always be Jordan. Uh. You know, what he did I
- 2:44thought was unbelievable. I don't think anyone comes close. Uh. You know,
- 2:47if you could probably sit here and argue for Bill Russell and I'd have
- 2:52to probably say I can't disagree. Probably do the same thing for Wilt Cob
- 2:57and Lebron. I don't think you can make the argument that they're the best.
- 3:00You know, even though I love Tobe and I can't stay Lebron.
- 3:02You know, I still think that they're top five players, but I don't
- 3:06think that they're one, two or three. Let's go to chat room.
- 3:09Walter Mitchell a happy Independent States for spending part of your night with us.
- 3:15He because it's his Criteriia, Okay, let's go on with your own.
- 3:17Little Lebron isn't in my top Painley because you have to get it done,
- 3:23a Jude Walter Mitchell, I have You're gonna be a superstar in this chat,
- 3:25Buddie. All right, well, let's go ahead. Good stuff off
- 3:29the bat by mister mister Walter Mitchell. Let's keep it rolling, all right,
- 3:32George, what do you think? I don't know. I don't agree,
- 3:36doctor J. I admire you, Doctor J. But I don't know
- 3:39where you're coming from on this one. I wouldn't dare put him down that
- 3:43low. Lebron again, Yeah, not one of my all time favorites.
- 3:47But he has done a hell of a job. Obviously, he's been in
- 3:51the news lately with the situation with his son being drafted and all that talk
- 3:57and uh and you know what, Doctor Jay was in an error where he
- 4:01unfortunately he didn't make as much nearly the amount of money that they're making now.
- 4:05But I'm not saying that that had much to do with his putting Lebron
- 4:11down that far on his list. But don't I don't think that's justified.
- 4:15I really don't. I mean Yeah, you're sitting back. Yeah, he
- 4:18should have won more rings, more even than he has had. But I'm
- 4:23just saying that because he is so talented, and they also put a lot
- 4:28of talent around him on the teams, on the rosters that he's been you
- 4:33know, and he's been into the championship rown for so many years. But
- 4:38I'm just saying that. No, I don't agree with doctor j I don't
- 4:41know what. I just don't do it. I don't do that. And
- 4:45I'm like Joe, I mean, I'd have to put him right up there.
- 4:46You know. Out of the guys from nowadays, Kobe Bryant and Lebron
- 4:50are the two that really stand out. Of course Michael, of course,
- 4:54Michael Jordan would be number one for me. Hey, Candy, before you
- 5:00do that much, but Walter Mitchell's coming up. Think about it. When
- 5:02we are comparing grapes, usually the number are the championships. Now what you
- 5:06do when the championships is on the line? You know what, Walter,
- 5:11You're really on fire tonight. Oh how many did Lebron played with? At
- 5:15least ten Hall of Famers? Boy, this guy's on a roll. We
- 5:18need more Walter Mitchell than the chat room, Joshua Door, all right,
- 5:21I'm glad he got in just in time. You'll have hockey shortly, Joshua
- 5:26Door, thanks for being on all right, Katie, keep it rolling.
- 5:29So I don't know that i'd put Lebron in my top five, but probably
- 5:34in my top ten, not fifteen. I don't think i'd put him as
- 5:39low as Doctor Jay is putting on it, you know, Like you guys
- 5:44have said, He's played on some good teams with some good supporting casts,
- 5:48and I think that makes a big difference, right, And I think the
- 5:53game has changed a lot and it has favored Lebron because I don't know that
- 5:59he could play back in let's put it in the Bad Boys era, because
- 6:03I think he'd get hurt a lot. To be honest with you, I
- 6:06don't think he plays as physical of a game as some of the as they
- 6:12did back then. So I don't know that when you're talking about your top
- 6:15five, you're talking about a player that could play in any era. In
- 6:20my book, if you're gonna put him in the top five, he could
- 6:23play in any era, and Lebron might, but I don't know how he
- 6:28would succeed if he would succeed in any era, and that's where I would
- 6:31draw the line, right all right, Josha Door just give you an idea
- 6:34what hockey's going to be on in segments four and five. But there is
- 6:39a lot of good hockey topics that I want to trust too. I'll just
- 6:42say this about James Okay, all right, glad, you want to know.
- 6:45I mean, the scary thing is he has the body to play physical
- 6:49He's built. He's probably one of the biggest guys physically in the league.
- 6:55Yet he plays like at soccer. If he would have got a chance to
- 6:58watch the your or the copa, you know, you see what happens in
- 7:01soccer. You barely get touched. The guys flop, you know, he
- 7:05plays. He'd be a great soccer player with those moves. But physically he's
- 7:11gifted. He's one of the biggest guys in the league. So you know,
- 7:14I wonder if he could play previous eras because of that, But right
- 7:17now, obviously we could never expect it because he's never showed it. Right,
- 7:21Yeah, I'd like to see how he goes ahead. With Bill Lambert,
- 7:26Rick Mahorn and to name a few other ones, we've got Charles Barkley
- 7:30would rough him up a little bit too, and some of those late Lakers
- 7:34Great Ramis used to mix it up. Reality is, as I think I'll
- 7:39go along with Candy Moore toward top ten. There's no way I'm not putting
- 7:42a top ten without Larry Byrd, Magic Johnson in it. You know you
- 7:46have to number one. Those two guys change the league to begin with.
- 7:48Never heard of tape delay. Okay, once upon a time it was on
- 7:53tape delay. As far as Lebron James is concerned, I've been chasing championships
- 7:58and only got four in his pocket, and I think he should have a
- 8:00lot more. Do I think that he is a body like Andy said,
- 8:03could play. We'll get to that in just a moment. But as I
- 8:07talk about Michael Jordan, but the reality is, I'm gonna go back to
- 8:11Walter Mitchell. You probably could because the game was tough different back then,
- 8:15but that's water under the bridge probably, But again that's just hypoth reular point
- 8:20Walter again. But yeah, all right, we'll never know. Ye,
- 8:24well, you know what, Let's go ahead and transition over Michael Jordan on
- 8:30what players would survive in the nineteen eighties, he does say, Lebron James,
- 8:33by the way, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk O Whisky.
- 8:37Well, all right, so we'll start where we began this thing, to
- 8:39begin with Happy July fourth, Dusty, what do you think about this one?
- 8:43Joe? Yeah, I mean h So the four names you mentioned were
- 8:50Dirk, I don't know. I don't see Tim being very physical, but
- 8:54I didn't watch it off of him play uh, Tim Duncan, I could
- 8:58see he looked like he could play that era. He was just he just
- 9:01did his job, very lunchbox type guy. With the other two. Right,
- 9:07well, I'll go over the list again. You got Lebron James,
- 9:09Kobe Bryant, Tim Duckin, Turko Whisky. Kobe, he did whatever it
- 9:13took, so I could definitely see him. Lebron, I don't know,
- 9:18like I said, you know when I said to Kady, he has the
- 9:20physical aspects to be able to do it. The question is the will,
- 9:24because he's never shown anything where he's willing to take a body or you know,
- 9:31draw somebody into him. Everything is always a flop. So that's where
- 9:37I wonder he's much more finesse for especially for a guy who's so built.
- 9:41Hey, George, Well, again, these are all hypothetical things. I
- 9:46would definitely say all the names on the list I believe could play that.
- 9:52I I really do. They're all very strong individuals. They are physically they're
- 9:56they're there. Like you said, JB. You know, may not play
- 10:01the physical games as we would like to see him play it, but he
- 10:05is physical and if he had to adapt to it against those guys and in
- 10:11that era, I say, he probably could do. So there's you know,
- 10:16there's again it's it's it's so hard to judge people in different eras.
- 10:20And I think that what happens is these guys as they get older or they
- 10:24retire, you know, they sit back and they do interviews and they start
- 10:30thinking about this stuff like doctor j and now you said Scott Michael Jordan,
- 10:35you know, and that's good because what is that doing. That is making
- 10:39the NBA and it doesn't need a whole lot more pushing, but it's making
- 10:43them push more for more in the headlines during the off season. And that's
- 10:48good because the league wants to be carried around twenty four seven, twelve months
- 10:54a year, that sort of thing. So I like these discussions, and
- 10:58it is interesting when you hear them from guys that are all star Hall of
- 11:01famers like that doctor j and Michael I this is this is all hypothetical.
- 11:05But Scott, but I'd say all the ones that you mentioned, yeah,
- 11:09I think they could. Well, let's face reality, this the worst kept
- 11:11seeking on the planet. When I tell you that the old guys resent the
- 11:15new guys because they're making a lot more money and they would build a game,
- 11:18I mean that there's a built and resentment there. So guys like Michael
- 11:22Jordan and doctor Julius Irving are certainly going to take their shots in the candidate
- 11:26and both of these instances they have valid points trying Candy go ahead. So
- 11:31let's face it. Kobe had such a work effic there is no doubt that
- 11:35he could play in any era because he would he would do whatever he needed
- 11:39to to be able to play in that whatever era. He would practice all
- 11:43the time. Jerk Dirk I think could play because he played a little bit.
- 11:50He did play a little more physical. I've seen him playing games as
- 11:56far as who is the Way It's Dirk Lebron, Kobe, Oh, Tim
- 12:03Dunk, Tim Duncan could play. I think in any any era too,
- 12:05because he was another one of those hard workers, down to earth like Lebron.
- 12:11The only thing that I wonder about him besides, like JB said that
- 12:18we haven't seen his physicality as much we've seen more of the flop slide,
- 12:22is I don't know how well he would mesh on a team with some of
- 12:28those before, because I think he has a little bit more an ego than
- 12:33any of the other All the other guys you mentioned, none of them have
- 12:35the ego that Lebron has. And I don't know how well other old school
- 12:41guys would team up with him and how well they'd they'd go for that kind
- 12:48of me me me attitude. I think it would. It'd be interesting.
- 12:54I I just don't see. I don't know if he could do it all
- 13:00the other eras I think all the other guys definitely could. Imagine Kady,
- 13:05just imagine for a second if we could pick him up and place him on
- 13:09that ninety two dream team. I don't think he'd fit in. No,
- 13:15you know, the other guys everyone else you said would do whatever it took,
- 13:18whatever the rule that was given to them would be perfect. And if
- 13:24I correct, Chuck Daily was the coach of that team, right more than
- 13:26now. Yeah. So I mean if Chuck said, Tim, all I
- 13:31want you to do is stay there a rebound, you have a touch the
- 13:33ball except for rebounds. Tim would be like, you got a Chuck.
- 13:35Yeah, that's a good point. That's a really good point. All right.
- 13:39The only thing I'll add to this because you guys have done a great
- 13:43guys and Dal have done a good job. Kobe's a lot, Tim Duncans
- 13:46a lot marginal with Tim Duncan, Lebron James, No, Katy, go
- 13:50ahead, give us a state tem break. So if you are seeing this

- 16:06All right, bo, welcome, welcome ball. Looking forward to seeing
- 16:11you pretty soon. You were talking to you next, Walter Mitchell. Yes,
- 16:14look at Tatum. Three hundred plus million. That's more in the entire
- 16:15league. Thank you. Yeah, don't forget Walter in the league was almost
- 16:19broken the seventy nine. Although this Walter Mitchell is making a good case become
- 16:23an NBA analyst. So if you're ever interested, Walter, reach out to
- 16:26us to be more happy to include all of these shows. We're a little
- 16:30bit shorthanded on basketball, but we talked about it. One situation presents itself.
- 16:33So Walter, you've certainly been the great edition tonight. Looking forward to
- 16:37seeing more of your commentary. As time goes on with that said topic number
- 16:42three to the last basketball topic that we're going to go to the sport on
- 16:47frozen pond. Ronnie James has signed a four years, seven point nine million
- 16:51dollar rookie contract with the Lakers. Lebron also gets a two year, one
- 16:56hundred and four million dollars max deal with the Lakers. All right, you
- 16:59know what I don't know, Walter, you want to come in on this
- 17:02verse. All we'll put it back to Joe. Well, as he's been
- 17:03numeral udo on all the NBA topics, I would say it is Bronni's situation.
- 17:08My goodness. So as I was watching the draft, I was waiting
- 17:12for anyone in the NBA to show that rich Pole doesn't run the NBA because
- 17:18rich Pole orchestrated Broddy James to go to the Lakers. You know, he
- 17:23told everyone else if if they drafted him, he was going to go play
- 17:26in Australia. He only worked out for Phoenix and the Lakers, right,
- 17:30And you know there were other comments about how him and Lebron run the Lakers.
- 17:36Then you know, the Celtics had to pick right before the Lakers,
- 17:38and how fitting would it have been if you're the Celtics to go ahead and
- 17:42pick Lebron's son, and you know what, who cares if he makes your
- 17:45roster if they want to send him to Australia. Bye, you don't need
- 17:49him anyway. You just won the championship. You're good enough to win again
- 17:52anyway. So it was the perfect spot because it's a second round pick that
- 17:56probably won't make the NBA anyway. So I thought that would have been the
- 17:59perfect pick to kind of show Rich Pole who runs the NBA. But the
- 18:03Celtics didn't do that, and we knew the Lakers were going to pick him,
- 18:07and you know, all the talk Lebron's going to take a reduced salary
- 18:10so that we could get you know, some stars to the Lakers so they
- 18:12can put a run on that went out the window when they announced Lebron took
- 18:15what was it, one hundred and four million the max contract for the next
- 18:18two years. Mister Selfish himself, the over the hill guy, superstar who's
- 18:26passed his prime, that's trying to be GM and have his family play for
- 18:30the team. It's another joke. Rich Paul should be you know, not
- 18:34allowed to be an agent. The fact that he could tell the NBA what
- 18:37to do, what Adam Silver is doing. I don't understand how he hasn't
- 18:41said something. He hasn't made a public statement about this. The fact that
- 18:45Broddy James got drafted. Glad for the kid, very happy. Is he
- 18:48ready to play in the NBA? Absolutely not, but good for him he
- 18:52got his call. Now. I hope he does well. But all the
- 18:56other knuckleheads in this group ridiculous. Rich Pole, as I said last night
- 19:00on Sideline Sports, we're on social media, Come talk to me. I
- 19:04want to hear how you how you tell everyone how you run the NBA.
- 19:07I'd love to sit down and have a conversation with you. Lebron, You're
- 19:11you're over the hill superstar who can't play GM because your team doesn't win.
- 19:15The only one you have is a fake championship in a bubble. Since you've
- 19:18been at LA, you got Glass Joe as your center, who can't stay
- 19:22healthy, gets the most ridiculous injuries, and now your poor son's going to
- 19:26be scrutinized for life because he's your son and you've got him drafted instead of
- 19:30letting him go back to school one more year, maybe earning a spot in
- 19:33the league. The whole thing is a sham, and Rich Pole is the
- 19:36leader of the sham. Here. You know, I'm gonna say something here
- 19:40right now. I'm glad I came up on the topic that forced JB.
- 19:44Ellis to rat, because that was a good rat. Ei goat man.
- 19:51This guy got his goat, and for all of you, if you don't
- 19:53get nothing else ode of the show, go back to Ellis's segment for crying
- 19:56out loud. This was awesome, baby. It's just a horrible situation,
- 20:02though it's a better situation that you're ranted about it. This topic was ideally
- 20:07made for you. All right, good job, Ellen's up product Now this
- 20:12was awesome man. All right, Bi Court, I will tell you right
- 20:15now, you have a tough pack to follow. I can't follow that too
- 20:21well, I tell you. But Ron Ron, you know yeah, I
- 20:26mean you hit on all the right points there. Maybe you really did.
- 20:30I mean, this kid's going to be under so much scrutiny. He's got
- 20:33to play defense. He's got to be a good defender if he wants to
- 20:36make it in this league. You know, his dad. The whole thing
- 20:41smells. I'm sorry, but it does. I agree with you, JB
- 20:45on that, because uh, orchestrating this is just nonsense, just total nonsense.
- 20:51That you saw what the Lakers did this past year, nothing and nothing,
- 20:55they could do anything. So now they bring in the superstars sun and
- 21:00the superstar is the fading Superstar. Sounds like a little Rocky movie or something.
- 21:03To me, it has the making of I mean, you know what's
- 21:07gonna happen next Oh, of course they're gonna get all these national television game
- 21:11dates. You know that ABCESPN and all the other networks carrying the NBA.
- 21:15They're gonna put the Lakers on. Even they didn't have to add more games
- 21:21with the Lakers, but they will. And then the other thing is the
- 21:23fact that, yeah, I mean, is he even ready for the NBA,
- 21:26Like I said, he unless he learns how to play defense. Well,
- 21:30I don't think he's ready right now. We'll see how much time is
- 21:34it. JJ Reddick the new coach. Yeah, we'll see how much time.
- 21:38Yeah, they're gonna play him his son and then we'll see how it
- 21:42goes. But boyl boy, talk about pressure. You not only playing in
- 21:48the NBA, but you're playing for the next year. Old man who taught
- 21:51you everything, But it's gonna be hard, it really is for him to
- 21:55succeed. I mean, you know the thing is is they gotta probably take
- 21:59him in the line of gradually, but we'll see what happens. I'm not
- 22:02sure what's gonna what this Lakers team is gonna it's gonna look like really win
- 22:06loss win loss. Yeah, right. Can't you want to put Walter's latest
- 22:10one? Now we've got two of them, so let's go ahead and put
- 22:11them both up. And you know you can even read him too, can't
- 22:15Hmmm? A franchise who didn't have coaching staff until today, the Brownie stuff,
- 22:21clown show plus Lebron. If they win, it's because of him.
- 22:25If not, it's y'all. Why would anyone want to go there? Even
- 22:30Rocky's kid didn't fight. He had to adapt Tommy Gunn's true. Yeah,
- 22:36this good man. Yeah, this Walter's on a roll man, bring him
- 22:41on. We need this guy and I'll extend the crewer occasionally. If I
- 22:47had to put Walter on here, this guy, you might as well say
- 22:49he's on the air. Helloverbody, welcome to the Sports to change. Got
- 22:52Scott, Candy Shoe, George and Walter how about that sounds good? All
- 22:57right, can't he take up? Okay, so nepotism back in the words.
- 23:07Back in the twenty ten US Census outlined just how extensive nepotism is in
- 23:14the country. It said that twenty two percent of men whose fathers were present
- 23:19in their teenage years will work for the same employer simultaneously as their fathers.
- 23:26And that was back in twenty ten and we're in twenty advance it to twenty
- 23:30twenty four. There isn't a part of society where you don't see it.
- 23:34Donald Trump's administration was full of family members and lackeys. He took nepotism to
- 23:41the level that no one has ever seen before. The NFL has tons of
- 23:47nepotism, let's face it. Shador Sanders plays for his father Dion at Colorado.
- 23:53Austin Rivers played for his his father Dockwell, they were still both at
- 23:59the Clippers. So this isn't the first time we've had things. Yes,
- 24:02it's the first time they've played on the same team. Now, Lebron signed
- 24:08a two year Whether he's gonna make it the four years that Bronni signed for
- 24:15I don't know, because he's not as young as he used to be.
- 24:19They're saying now that rich Paul James's agent is reportedly still discussing the possibility of
- 24:26the thirty nine year old taking approximately one million dollars less than his max salary,
- 24:33and that would keep the Lakers below the new second apron in the CBA,
- 24:37allowing them to avoid strict roster building restrictions for tax paying teams, such
- 24:44as prohibiting combining multiple outgoing salaries in trades. So we'll see. As much
- 24:55as I don't like Lebron, this isn't the first time, and some things
- 25:00like this have happened. Nepotism happens all over all. Right, don't think
- 25:06I'm gonna say about the topic. Joe Ellis hit it right. The only
- 25:08thing he probably missed. Maybe he was thinking about letting me do it.
- 25:11That's why he kept it out that Danny Ainge was a GM of the Celtics.
- 25:17He would have picked them, period, because we all know that Danny
- 25:19Age's hates toward the Lakers goes. He really does. Now that's item number
- 25:26one, number two. When you put it all in perspective, what happens
- 25:30the second round picks? Normally they're stashed over seas. Anyways, this is
- 25:36the only one that isn't getting stashed for obvious reasons. So you know what,
- 25:41to me, the fact that he's getting paid this amount of money,
- 25:44I don't care about, well, pron James taking a million dollars less as
- 25:48they always say, who cares? And you know, Joshua Door, I
- 25:51agree somewhere along the lines that somebody said I thought no politics on here.
- 25:55They probably did not even know where you heard it. But it won't matter.
- 25:57But I'll say the only politics I have as a politics that to me
- 26:02are not very good is the fact that Bronnie was either going to play in
- 26:06the Valley of the Sun or he's playing it with the Lakers. Now,
- 26:08I will say this. As of today, some new developments about that coaching
- 26:12staff. Scott Brooks has been named to the coaching staff. He's got like
- 26:17twelve years of experience under JJ Reddick's staff and name McMillan's who's got I believe
- 26:22nineteen, So he got over thirty years on that coaching staff to go in
- 26:26addition to who they were. I think Dwayne Casey actually turned that job down
- 26:29as well to stay in Detroit. So there'll be a little bit experience on
- 26:33everyone's gonna take a whole lot more experience than that to straighten out that mess
- 26:37that they call in Los Angeles. But the reality of the whole situation that
- 26:41Danny Ainge would have taken him, he would Jereffy went to Australia, he
- 26:45would care if he went to China or wherever. Danny Ainge would have stuck
- 26:48it tomorrow, Candy. So I have a question for the panel how much
- 26:55pressure is does that put on Bronnie? Because could you imagine not only following
- 27:00in your father's footsteps, but playing with your same father, And your father's
- 27:03considered this NBA great, and you're going to be expected to be following him
- 27:07and doing as good. Could you imagine playing on the same team as your
- 27:14father at anything? Like Let's say, so I bowled with my father in
- 27:18a bowling league, and you know, he was better than be at it,
- 27:23and I tried to learn, but he wasn't the greatest bowler of all
- 27:27time or considered one of the greatest bowlers of all time, and you know
- 27:32I wasn't where it was a fun league, so anybody could bowl. This
- 27:34is the NBA, and unfortunately this kid's not ready. The poor kid had
- 27:40a heart attack last year. I'll playing in college, you know, So
- 27:45besides physically, he's not ready. His game's not there, and I mean,
- 27:48I want to see him succeed. I don't listen. Since we've started
- 27:52doing this, I don't root for athletes failures anymore because now I know many
- 27:56of them personally, and you know, most of them are good people.
- 27:59I'm sure if I I met Lebron, he's probably a good person. So,
- 28:03you know, me not liking his game, that's one thing, but
- 28:06I don't want to see the guy fail, and normally want to see a
- 28:07Sun fail, but I just don't think he's ready. And I think that's
- 28:11a spot that could have went to somebody else, and it was orchestrated.
- 28:14That's I think with Bathers more than anything. If it would have been like,
- 28:18well, we hope to get him if he's there, you know,
- 28:19and nobody spoke about it. If Chris rich Paul would have kept his mouth
- 28:23quiet the week before, it would have been great, you know, But
- 28:27he had a starter. I think it's sort of like Monday or Tuesday that
- 28:32week. You know that I run the Lakers, you know, if I
- 28:34tell them to do what they're going to do it, you know, and
- 28:37then he's telling other teams not to draft him, but he's going to go
- 28:40to Australia. You can't do that. And where is Adam Silver? This
- 28:44is your league, it's not rich Pole's league. You are the commissioner.
- 28:48Step up. That would never happen in the NFL. Imagine if Scott boris
- 28:55Lee Steinberg, you know, any other agent would to do that in any
- 28:59other sport. Would it be allowed? You know, when Eli Manning got
- 29:03drafted by the Chargers, he didn't want to play there. He still got
- 29:07drafted by the Chargers. It was up to them to work out a deal
- 29:10to get rid of him. You know. It wasn't okay, we're not
- 29:12going to take you, because you know he was the best available pick.
- 29:15They took him and then they found a way to trade him. You don't
- 29:18get to decide where you go with a draft. That's not how it's done.
- 29:22Yeah, and I alluded earlier to that. You know, I told
- 29:26the about the pressure that you mentioned, Candy. Yeah, there's gonna be
- 29:30a lot of pressure on the kid, and he's not ready yet. Obviously
- 29:33we know that. But the fact of the matter is is his dad will
- 29:37probably be helping him along the way. Obviously he'll be like a second coach
- 29:42to him, which he already is. But there's no way that he wants
- 29:48to see his boy fail, and it's going to be hard. It is
- 29:51going to be a lot of pressure on him, no question about it,
- 29:53No question about it. Candy. Let's go to the comments up with Walter,
- 29:57starting with Austin and read him down a little. Please. Austin was
- 30:03drafted not by his dad, major difference college. It's more accepted to play
- 30:07with your dad. Okay, so we have five hundred million for one final
- 30:12and two conference finals. Maybe Lebron should give the Lakers a favor. He
- 30:17bent over for him since he got to LA. Okay, I'm not worried
- 30:22about the pressure on him. He's going to the treatment like the Ball brothers.
- 30:27That was good. Don't forget Lebron put a target on his back with
- 30:32his tweets about his son's ability in high school and then Olden Christener roots for
- 30:38athletes failures. Well, yeah, we're going to get to that one.
- 30:41I like this on Joshua. That's good. The other thing I'm going to
- 30:45say about this whole thing. Is this okay to me? And I mentioned
- 30:48the fact that most second round picks go ahead and gets dashed. You know,
- 30:53I don't. I personally am more concerned about his heart, Like Joe
- 30:56alluded to long ago, they were talking about having a heart attack. And
- 31:00you know, La, that word is synonymous with Hank Gathers, Okay,
- 31:06being a young college Studentila merimunt. So you know, do I think he'll
- 31:11the support around him? Yeah? You all. But the reality is is
- 31:14I don't know how many minutes he's going to get. But the way that
- 31:18this whole thing was orchestrated, to me, it was pretty weak. All
- 31:21right, Well, Joshua Gorsman actually waiting patiently, so we got to give
- 31:25it to our buddy here. Okay, so we do have two hockey segments
- 31:29back to back. The Florida Panthers had been toon oil. There's Game seven
- 31:33was second most watched NHL game in twenty years. It average sixteen point three
- 31:40million viewers across North America, according to the NHL. All right, you
- 31:45know what, George will go start with you on this, Well, how
- 31:51does that compare to other sports? Though? I mean, you know,
- 31:53I'm happy for the NHL. I mean, I didn't think that they hit
- 31:57a snowballs chance, and hell really of drawing any kind of numbers on this
- 32:02series. And I'm just being honest with you. My gut was telling me
- 32:06because I know Connor McDavid, Okay, I know he's a superstar. However,
- 32:09nobody else knows much about anything when it comes to the Edmonton oilers.
- 32:15And the fact of the matter was, is you gave away one of the
- 32:17American cities that would have been the host city obviously if it was two American
- 32:22teams playing, but I think would really rescue them obviously was the name of
- 32:28Connor McDavid. And also the fact that this game, this series went from
- 32:32being a blowout to something really special as we know. And Scott, my
- 32:37hats off to you, my friend. You called it seven games. You
- 32:40are the winner on this show and a few other shows you probably were on.
- 32:45But you're the only one I know that called that for Panthers and seven.
- 32:49I went with Panthers and six, as did a lot of other people,
- 32:52some even Panthers and five. But I'm telling you, I mean,
- 32:55the numbers are good, not as anywhere near it as you'll see for the
- 33:00NBA at MLB and of course nowhere near football numbers. But the back of
- 33:05the matter is they got a good series out of this and I good Stanley
- 33:08Cup finals. All right, let's go back to Joshua Doors Commons. Panthers
- 33:13are gaining a lot of traction and stuff, for no doubt about it.
- 33:15Right now they've been playing the best of any of the four teams you have
- 33:19here. And let's start. Marlins haven't done anything lately. Theyd have a
- 33:22playoff appearance a year ago, and then of course they had another one during
- 33:25the pandemic. So Marlin's have sniped the postseason. Dolphins haven't won a postseason
- 33:30game, and Ages and who am I missing? The Miami Heat have always
- 33:35been pretty steady as well. You know what they're they have a great fun
- 33:37office. So but yeah, right now, the Panthers I think are in
- 33:40questionably the best thing you have going in South Florida. For sure, there's
- 33:44no depending on that. Let's go. Let's continue with Joshua's comments. The
- 33:47guys on a roll and McDavid is the best player in the world. Yeah,
- 33:51I think that's pretty obvious. Walter Davis does help that ESPN is in
- 33:53the back in the NHL market. Come on, Zach Hyman and Leon,
- 33:58some of us love hockey. Okay, then Joshua Door I went with Panthers
- 34:02in five to six. Well, okay, that may be the only thing
- 34:05you got wrong, Josh, but you got the championship. It doesn't matter.
- 34:07It's not the NBA, MLB, MLB as he whatever. The parade
- 34:14was packed. That was from eye here soaked. But we were in North
- 34:15Carolina. We wouldn't know anyhow, And Walter, you have to give ESPN
- 34:21time to ignite the masses. Doesn't help in the nineteen in the nineties you
- 34:25had Powerhouse Club. Yeah, we aren't going to go ahead and question that,
- 34:29are we, George considering one of them was Yeah, and Booth hasn't
- 34:32played and Booth hasn't played in a long time. All right, Well,
- 34:36I knew this was a lightning rod subject that's plays on here tonight. Candy
- 34:39some thoughts about the fact that the North American situation worked out, well,
- 34:44I mean, Evan, it's a very passionate play. I think you might
- 34:47have gotten comparable numbers had the Vancouver Canucks made it, because that's one of
- 34:53the largest cities in the In Canada, But go ahead, Candy. So
- 34:58the twenty twenty four s Down Cup and Shot saw on an increase of sixty
- 35:05Let's see, playoffs across ESPN, ESPN two and ABC averaged one point eight
- 35:10million viewers and seven hundred and twenty four viewers eighteen through forty nine, which
- 35:16was an increase of sixty percent and forty six percent versus the twenty twenty three
- 35:22Stanley Cup playoff average, which was up fourteen and nineteen percent off twenty twenty
- 35:28two. So it's gaining traction, it's getting it's gaining attraction. And let's
- 35:32face it this we're talking about Edmonton Oilers and the South Florida the Panthers.
- 35:39We're not talking the LA market. We're not talking a New York team where
- 35:45you'd get all those viewerships. You're talking teams that don't have the same reach,
- 35:52you know, but yet look at the viewers they had. They had.
- 35:58It was and it was a good watch. It was a good series
- 36:00because I would say some games were very one sided. But hockey is gaining
- 36:07ground and I and that's a good thing, just like w NBA is gaining
- 36:13ground with viewerships. I like the fact that we are supporting more of these
- 36:19what should I say that non traditional and NFL, NBA and MLB. They
- 36:27always have had viewerships, but some of these lesser known sports are gaining traction
- 36:35and that's what I like. All right, let's talk about hockey and Flora.
- 36:39I actually had an interesting chat with a podcast that's that I found out
- 36:45about that, and they may be guests on another show, but I have
- 36:49to talk to some of their people first. First and foremost, the Tampa
- 36:52Bay Lightning got things going into Sunshine State with the fact that they won championships
- 36:58the Florida But the one thing I'm going to say about up to Florida Panthers.
- 37:00One of the reasons I actually thought they were going to win the whole
- 37:04thing was this, and I'm only going to say it one time. When
- 37:07you lose the year before in the finals, it wears on you for an
- 37:12entire year. So the Panthers came out under Paul Maurice from bear in mind
- 37:16last year, they backed into the playoffs knowing that they barely got in.
- 37:20This year, there was never any Doubtlebrosky had an unbelievable year, you know,
- 37:24Matt to Chuck, I don't have to get into all that. But
- 37:27when you lose the final series the first time, you go back at it,
- 37:30you're hungry the second time, and what do you know, the Florida
- 37:35Panthers ended up winning. Now, unfortunately for Panthers fans, the exitus comes
- 37:39where a lot of players are going to get more money on the open market.
- 37:44They just have to open place that you don't lose too many players.
- 37:47But you know what, Panthers had a good front office. I think they'll
- 37:51definitely be a contender to at least attend. There's Stanley. Come all right,
- 37:54let's go back to Joshua Door real quick. Unlet's say many hen I
- 37:59have one other high I haven't got to go on this one yet. Go
- 38:02ahead, well, go ahead, you know so? Yeah, I mean,
- 38:05anyone that didn't watch Game seven missed one of the best sporting events of
- 38:08the year. First of all, the NHL playoffs is by far the best
- 38:13playoffs. Other sports may be more popular. I may like baseball the most,
- 38:17you know, I enjoy watching basketball more than hockey and football we talk
- 38:22about NonStop, But when it comes to playoffs, nothing is better than the
- 38:28NHL and a Game seven in the Stanley Cup, especially after a team was
- 38:31down three to three nothing. You know, the fact that only got sixteen
- 38:36million is is pretty sad. I don't care if it was you know,
- 38:39the two smallest market teams in the league. It should If it was Arizona
- 38:45and whoever, you know, that should have been higher. It's millions of
- 38:50people missed out at one of the best sporting events of the year. You
- 38:52know, even if you're just a person that enjoys watching hockey once a year,
- 38:59this was the game to watch it. If you never watched hockey,
- 39:00what better time to start. So it's a shame that the numbers were down,
- 39:05but you know, hockey's got to put on the work to try and
- 39:07build it. It's uh fan base and they got to promote their stars.
- 39:12I mean, even though Florida won, there was nothing appealing about what Florida
- 39:16did to catch someone that's not a hockey fan. If you turned on the
- 39:20game and you're not a hockey fan watching Florida play, you gonna be like,
- 39:24eh, you know, watching what Edmonton tried to do was exciting.
- 39:29That's why I like West Coast Hockey. But you know, knowing about hockey,
- 39:31what Florida did was a genius. But if I just turned it on
- 39:35and I had no clue what was going on, I'd have been bored out
- 39:37of my mind. But you know, they did play the better game and
- 39:40led. You know, glad they would, But you know, I think
- 39:44that's part of the problem. You know, the dump and chase game is
- 39:45kind of boring, and they were physical, but they weren't hitting hard.
- 39:51It was weird. You know, you're one hundred percent right, Joshua Door.
- 39:54But you know, to catch the casual fan that you know doesn't watch
- 39:59hockey the top, it doesn't know much about it, you need offense,
- 40:02offense cells. Okay, let's go back out to a series of chats here.
- 40:07Okay, Katie start they kept their corn breadth and bring him out.
- 40:10Go ahead, what are you gonna add to them? I do want to
- 40:13add that years ago the Panthers paid people to come in attendance to some of
- 40:21their games. They had horrible attendance, but for the first time in their
- 40:25franchise, with all the extra games that they played in the playoffs, they
- 40:30actually surpassed one million fans through their stands this year. So that is a
- 40:37great accomplishment, that's all. Sure. Yeah, now we'll find out how
- 40:42sustainable. All right, go back to well, go back to all these
- 40:45comments that are up there, and then we'll address them. And then we
- 40:49have another hockey top. I saw a game. If you're going to go
- 40:52that fast, Candy, you got to read them. I don't talk that
- 40:54okay. And a small market team like the Panthers winning definitely helps grow the
- 40:58sport, we agree, Joshua, dustinam braid I saw at a hockey game
- 41:02in two thousand and eleven. Okay, I'm an original from Jersey. Joy
- 41:10Zy, now that you just mentioned New York, which is nearby there,
- 41:16Panthers have been booming since the new ownership took over. Can't judge the franchise
- 41:22prior to that ownership was awful. They kept their core and let's face it,
- 41:27Scott, it is hard on you. Once you win the Stanley Cup,
- 41:30normally your best players, it's going to be hard to keep everybody.
- 41:35They all teams can't be like the Celtics who have secured all their top five.
- 41:40But breaking news, breaking news, the Red Wings took one of their
- 41:45Stanley Cup champions today. Do your contract for Shankel? Yeah, gosh,
- 41:51no doubt JB can potentially be a long time before we see another game.
- 41:54Seven Stanley Cup finals numbers were up, weren't they. That's because in hockey
- 42:01nothing is giving. You can have an eight seed beat a one seed,
- 42:06and other sports usually that's not the case. Defense does win championship cups.
- 42:10That they've said that for all sports. Defense wins championships. Rebecca hit a
- 42:17duck. Our players to come to Now they're they're getting players at discounts because
- 42:25they want to play in Florida. Well, it doesn't hurt Joshua. There's
- 42:29no state incompat in Florida either, But yeah, I get your pay to
- 42:31go to Florida Panthers. Then breaking news the Wings paid a lot for Tarasenko.
- 42:37It's okay, player, though wish he stayed with no cap space.
- 42:43There go, and that keeps you up to date. Well, all right,
- 42:45so I love the chat room. Keep it rolling here on this pre
- 42:49fourth of July. That said, will continue to roll here as we do
- 42:53have another topic, and this one's a real historical one, I should say.
- 42:57Seanle crack and made Jessica Campbell the first woman behind the bench and will
- 43:01be the first ever full time assistant on an NHL bench. I'm going to
- 43:07lead off of this one. This is unbelievable. Dan biles was a new
- 43:10coach. This woman here coached. She was this assistant coach over you know
- 43:16what we call their triple A team Okay down there and did an unbelievable job.
- 43:22So I'm glad that Dan Bilesma took the step to bring her on board.
- 43:25And you know what, to me, this is important that we see
- 43:29females that know it awful lot be elevated positions like this because they can only
- 43:34do nothing but grow the game. We see females doing play, live play
- 43:37and color analysts, no problem. But now you've got one that knows hockey
- 43:43ro well and all I can say, Jessica Campbell, I'm glad you made
- 43:45it to the NHL, and I hope you stayed there for a while.
- 43:47Gall only knows when we're ever going to see an ADHL head coach, but
- 43:51I'm more than happy to settle for the fact that we have one behind a
- 43:54bench at the assistant All right, well, we'll start off with a woman
- 43:57on this crew. Go ahead, Candy, kudos kudos to the Kraken for
- 44:06hiring what I one of the things that I would like to point out though,
- 44:12is as much as i'd like to see female coaches in there, and
- 44:19just like black coaches in the NFL, I hope they did it because she
- 44:23honestly earned it. Like I don't want to see somebody get it because oh
- 44:29she's a woman, or oh we need to you know, I want the
- 44:32best person for the job to be hired, and I'm not taking away from
- 44:37her. I hope she is the best person. And kudos to her because
- 44:40to break the barrier and break that down and to be able to be the
- 44:45first to allow others then to follow in her footsteps is great. But again,
- 44:52I just want to make sure that it's earned and it's earned the right
- 44:55way. We have heard so many stories of other things, and like we
- 45:00were just talking about nepotism with Lebron and stuff like that. I just hope
- 45:05that, you know, and I hope she does really well. I mean,
- 45:09good luck, good luck to her. I hope she you know,
- 45:14she's broken down one barrier and the sky's the limit, all right. Before
- 45:17I put Joe on here, I've been reading up on this for a while.
- 45:21When they were talking that could happen, but everything I've heard about Jessica
- 45:23Campbell is this woman has earned her promotion to the NHL. She had more
- 45:29than qualified. So I believe that this was an entire in the integrity of
- 45:35the hire. Of tremendous integrity, is what I'm trying to say, because
- 45:37I'll tell you one thing, Dan Biosma, as a coach, said,
- 45:40I actually was hoping the Red Wings would actually hire. It didn't work out,
- 45:45but the Kraken got themselves a good coach with Dan Biosma, and now
- 45:49Jessica, to me, has an opportunity to do some pretty good things.
- 45:51So I don't hear any question. This will assert, all right, Joe,
- 45:53go ahead. Well, I mean, first of all, the last
- 45:57name like Campbell in hockey, that's a no brainer. You know, that's
- 46:00a synonymous name. You know, back in the day was the Campbell Conference,
- 46:05if I'm correct this guy. You know, but listen, if she
- 46:08if she was an assistant coach in the farm system, she's already knows the
- 46:14coaches system, she worked with them before. To me, that's all saying
- 46:19things that she earned it. You know, I'm happy for her. Congratulations.
- 46:24To me, it's said that we still have to have first like this.
- 46:29You know, if a person gets hired and she's playing, that person
- 46:31got hired. The fact that we were in twenty twenty four and hockey's been
- 46:36around this long and this is the first time it happened, it's crazy.
- 46:38You know, if someone's qualified, they're qualified. You know, color of
- 46:43skin, race, religion, none of that matters, you know, hockey.
- 46:46That's all I care about. Wh I'm looking to hire somebody, and
- 46:49if you're the best person, if you're good, all right, welcome Mitchell.
- 46:53You're absolutely correct. Dan Bosmos, assistant for the Wings. Under the
- 46:57last staff, I believe, I believe it Will was under oh gosh,
- 47:01trying to remember the name of Jeff Flashell. So yeah, he was under.
- 47:07I thought he was gonna have he has a All right, George,
- 47:08what's your take on Jess? Well, the league has had an issue and
- 47:14a problem unfortunately over the last several years, and that is there bad records
- 47:22sometimes with players and mistreating women. You know, we've seen it in the
- 47:29NFL with the Washington Redskins, and we've seen it in hockey. And you
- 47:32know, Quinnville was involved in part of the allegations and all this going around.
- 47:37So there is definitely a lack of females in leadership roles in hockey that
- 47:44has to be addressed. It has to get better, because these ladies are
- 47:49doing a fantastic job. Look at Team USA, look at Team Canada in
- 47:53women's hockey. How great they've done and tremendous results in the World World Cup
- 48:00and in the Olympic Games. And you know, a lot of great,
- 48:05great talented players, but also brilliant minds. These ladies know how to play
- 48:10the game, They know the sport inside and out, and many of them
- 48:15are going, like you said earlier, Scott, some of them into the
- 48:17broadcast booth. Some of them, we know, we've seen it in Detroit
- 48:22and other cities. A lot of female hockey writers. We have were blessed
- 48:24in Detroit with Helene Saint James. We were earlier blessed by Cynthia Lambert at
- 48:30the Detroit News. So I've seen the growth of hockey, and I've seen
- 48:34how females, ladies are really really intelligent and obviously very attuned to the game
- 48:43and to the sport. Let's face it, it's been male dominated for decades
- 48:47and decades on and on. It's and you know, and it gradually we
- 48:52see some signs. But boy Campbell becoming this assistant coach, I'm all the
- 48:58more powerful her. I'm very happy for her, and I think it's a
- 49:01great, great move by the Seattle Crack and I'm really happy about it.
- 49:06Hey, George, I want to make one thing very very clear, and
- 49:08I think this is really important that we stay on track, because sometimes you
- 49:13tend to drift a little. In this case, I think it went a
- 49:15little bit too quicker. Joel Quinville is not something we're going to talk about
- 49:19tonight. We might addressed it at a later date because I understand the recent
- 49:22news there, but it's not something I'm going to get into on this night.
- 49:25This is more because, as Joshua, George said, Okay, didn't
- 49:29have anything to do with a woman, if I remember correctly. Of course
- 49:31you do remember correctly, josh That's why I am bringing it up. So
- 49:35you know, I know that George, you're pretty intelligent, but when it
- 49:37comes to this kind of stuff, you know, the reality is this conversation
- 49:42is all about Jessica Campbell and the Seattle Crack, and it is what it
- 49:45is not Joel Quinvill, Okay, and of course Walter Mitchell says Quinvill had
- 49:51another issue other than Kyle Beach. Well, I didn't know that. Yeah,
- 49:54again, that'll be a future on a future episode. So I just
- 49:59want to make sure that we try to do is stay on point. We
- 50:01have a lot of good things that we're talking about. We're in a really
- 50:04good role and we have a couple topics that they're going to get you hungry
- 50:07and about a moment. But let's go ahead and talk about puffing penguin.
- 50:14And remember when there was a female goalie on Tampa Bay Lightning for a game
- 50:17or a lockowt that was called Manon Rayon by the way, who was actually
- 50:22an analyst for the Red Wings puffing penguins. So yeah, you good stuff.
- 50:27So all right, anybody else to comment on this? And I haven't
- 50:30commented on this. Are we good? Nope, We're good? Okay,
- 50:35good, Yeah, you're all right puffing penguin. I'm sitting on a grin
- 50:38and Tonny gonna listening to the show, Glad to be here, Glad to
- 50:42have your puff and penguin. But now I'm starting to get a little bit
- 50:45hungry. But it's my fault. I am Nathan's will not allow Joey Chestnut,
- 50:52well, and I can't keep us straight. To compete in the twenty
- 50:57twenty four Hot Dog Eating Contest, Chestnut signed a four year, one point
- 51:00two million dollar deal with Impossible Foods, a vegan food company. Bear in
- 51:07mind, okay, that Chestnut was paid two hundred thousand dollars was appearance on
- 51:12last year's contest. Now, I want to dedicate this show to fred Epplin
- 51:16because he was a great math teacher in his day. So, Dad,
- 51:20as you're rested up in heaven, I have to make sure I go out
- 51:22there and mention that is one point two million dollars greater than two hundred k.
- 51:30I always say yes. And he said, yeah, you finally got
- 51:31one right, put the duct tape on your mouth and starts stunning again.
- 51:35So yeah, but that said, okay, go ahead, Candy. You
- 51:39know no, I think the ratings are going to take a hit because they
- 51:43didn't put Joey on there. But what do you think, Candy. Last
- 51:46month, Chestnut announced on social media that he had been banned from the annual
- 51:51event, claiming he learned of the decision by Major League Eating along with the
- 51:55rest of the world. Major League Eating said Chestnut would not be able to
- 52:00due to his affiliation with plant based hot dog brand Impossible Foods. I get
- 52:05that. I mean it's a contest. They have rules, they have you
- 52:08have to follow the rules if you you know, if you, let's face
- 52:14it, if you're playing in some tournament. Let's take let's take Wimpledon for
- 52:19instance. You have to wear all white. You can't wear you could,
- 52:22you can't wear different colors. So it's your contest. You have the right
- 52:28to make your the rules up and let me, let's face it, Joey
- 52:31Chestnut has been in that contest for how long, so he knew the rules
- 52:36going in. So he decided it was more important to take money, which
- 52:40hey, I'm not gonna be grudge him at all. I would take the
- 52:45money. And you know, if you believe in the company that is sponsoring
- 52:49you and paying you, there should be no gripe. Nobody should be complaining
- 52:53because everybody has a right to do their contest and run the contest the way
- 53:00they want to and have representation the way they want to. Joey knew that
- 53:05going in, and he made his decision He'd rather sign with this company and
- 53:09get paid lots of money instead of going in that contest, there'll be other
- 53:14contests that he'll be in. Oh no, yeah, our great segue.
- 53:16Okay, all right, so go back to Joshua door. This guy's smoking
- 53:20a right boy, I'm boy counting the hot dog is not a good joe
- 53:27duh. Yeah, you're right, it's funny Joey or nothing. Keep going,
- 53:30Joshua, you're rolling again, brother, Let's see what else we got.
- 53:34He is the con truth? Is he really going great? And I
- 53:37like to chats. I think there was boarding around comical. In fact,
- 53:40they are comical. Joey is a goatey. All right, did all right?
- 53:45There we go look at this one? What is it at one point
- 53:46two? Is a haul? And you're right, candy rules of all right,
- 53:51Well that's all right, go ahead, George and stay on point.
- 53:54Well, I think that Joey made a big mistake also, so I mean,
- 54:00he's he's the champion. He's been the champ for so many years,
- 54:04and obviously, you know, sometimes he wants to go in a different direction
- 54:08to get a different you know, a general contract or contest whatever. So
- 54:14they're gonna miss him though, because everybody looks forward to seeing Joey in this
- 54:17contest every year on before of July. But hey, he's gonna He's a
- 54:23big enough guy to make his own decision, make up his own mind on
- 54:27where he wants to go. And if this was a risk that he didn't
- 54:30know about, maybe I don't know. But he still is going to be
- 54:34missed because, like I said, everybody's been watching and seeing if Joey Chestnut
- 54:37can repeat and beyond the championship platform once again. So all the more power
- 54:44to him, I owe. You know, he wants to get more money
- 54:45or whatever, more notoriety, but they're gonna miss him, and I think
- 54:50the whole the whole event is not going to be as as good without him.
- 54:57Do you think, Joe, I know how much you love hot Dog.
- 55:00So the fact that this event took place for about four blocks from where
- 55:05I used to live for as long as I lived there, and I've only
- 55:08went there one time in person for the Hot To Getting contest. The only
- 55:14time anyone thinks of the Hot to Get contest is July fourth. The only
- 55:19reason we're talking about the Hot To Getting Contest is because Joey chest outside this
- 55:22deal. Who won that? On the fact that east side the deal Beyond
- 55:27Foods won because now everyone knows that Joey Chestnut's side with them. Nathan's won
- 55:31because we've been talking about this for the last month. The ratings they may
- 55:37be down a little bit, but I actually think they're gonna go up because
- 55:39we've been talking about the hot to eating contest for a month now, when
- 55:43nobody even probably thought about it in June last year. What do you think
- 55:46about it? July fourth? So everybody in the situation is a winner,
- 55:51and Joey gets to go against Kobeyashi had to head on Netflix in September or
- 55:54Labor Day. Don't do this to me, man, Yeah, you're killing
- 56:00me. The hot dog the hot dogs contest edual hot dog contest, you
- 56:05know what I mean? I hope that the not eating play based meat because
- 56:08that's just not col you know, half the Nathan's hot dogs if we're gonna
- 56:13do it, but I don't know how they're gonna do that. Well wait,
- 56:17wait, wait, wait wait, I'm having a Fred Sandford moment because
- 56:22of Alice. I am and Ree Shepik is out there listening, and she
- 56:27never knew who Fred Sandford's on. She found out on Candy's birthday. Another
- 56:30time for another day. Oh I feel bad? No, yeah, the
- 56:35next how can you do that to me? That's okay, go ahead,
- 56:37Candy. The ratings might go way up now because we all know Joey's not
- 56:43gonna win because he's not in the contest, So who's gonna win? All
- 56:47right? So here, I'll just say this, the best hot dogs in
- 56:51Brentworth that I've ever had over at Miller Park in Milwaukee, hands down.
- 56:54I double this topic. But what's gonna end up happening next July? For
- 56:59is it the right do take a collapse? I can foresee Joey chest not
- 57:02back on there after Nathan's spelled backwards, and I'm not seeing you to attempt
- 57:07to do it because that will really make me look worse than him. Well,
- 57:09actually I will n aht an nah Dan. Okay, that's what if
- 57:16I spell it backwards. Let's go back to the chat room since we're having
- 57:20elis. You're killing me, but I'll love when you do that. Anyways,
- 57:22It's okay, all right, So anyways, that's over one point two
- 57:25million, over two hundred thousand. I think he made I think he made
- 57:30a mistake. All right, go ahead, somebody else read these six years
- 57:35of hot dog eating contests in that payday, George, he has to maximize
- 57:39his money. It's not like he was going to clear that type of money.
- 57:43I think you all said he made two hundred k two hundred times for
- 57:46is only eight hundred k m Ben eating Lizzy's for free. Imagine getting paid
- 57:57for it. Ben is the ultimate gluzzy uzzler and has to buy his own
- 58:01hot dogs. Who cares who wins if it's not Joey, Hey, if
- 58:07it's a contest, we're all gonna be there. Let's face it, Well,
- 58:12not me, I'm gonna be at the Merlin's in the well hot game.
- 58:15I don't care. I mean, but it's worthy. But yeah,
- 58:19Ellis, you might as well start where you finished there, Ellis, because
- 58:22now you obviously had read in my mind. So let's go ahead and take
- 58:25this a JBS topic. Okay, I'll be it, all right, So
- 58:29Joey Chestnut to face sekiro Kobyashi. Don't forget that name, because you've been
- 58:35involved in these two on Labor Day hot dog battle these two and won a
- 58:40combined twenty two mustard builts at the Nathan Famous hot dog eating contest. We'll
- 58:46face off in an all beef hot dog battle against each other on September second,
- 58:52in an event that can be streamed on You guess It. Of course,
- 58:55Joe Ellis gave it away Netflix. All right, Joe, we're gonna
- 58:59start with you. You more or less got it, going ahead, and
- 59:02go ahead. It's just crazy. I mean, we're bringing back the old
- 59:07the old guy that won before Joey, and we're bringing Joey back who beat
- 59:12the old guy. He got bad. They're gonna make a I'm sure a
- 59:15whole series about it with the history, and we're all gonna watch all this
- 59:20hot toad stuff and then we're gonna watch the contest to get sick because it's
- 59:22sick and to actually watch. But you know, good for Netflix. Way
- 59:27to find content that's probably cheaper than putting on a show. You know what
- 59:32I'm going to tell you right now? This is great our show. When
- 59:36we talked about it going everywhere. We have a great comment from Kim j
- 59:38Heillo from Korea. I love the show. Kim Jay, you made my
- 59:44day. So if you would kindly be a subscriber to the South Floria Tribute
- 59:46and YouTube channel, that would be better. But that goes to show these
- 59:50shows go everywhere folks with Kim J. Thanks a lot, hope you subscribe,
- 59:53and God bless my friend. So go ahead, now, George,
- 1:00:00I think I agree one hundred percent with joe. You know, this is
- 1:00:04a tremendous coupe by Netflix, and obviously there are going to be ramifications and
- 1:00:08uh there people will be watching, you know, September. So there,
- 1:00:15there's there. They're whys and making a decision that they've made, and Joey's
- 1:00:19going to be on TV after all, maybe not July fourth, but Labor
- 1:00:22Day weekend instead. I don't forget though, He's got a lot of competition
- 1:00:27that weekend. It's called college football. Seriously, George, you're really having
- 1:00:32a bad night tonight to compare that to college football. Seriously. All right,
- 1:00:38that's okay, I wrote the sports competition I'm looking at all right,
- 1:00:43Well, that's okay, all right, go ahead. Kady Major League Eating
- 1:00:47announced at slate of competitors for Coney Island without Chestnut for July fourth. So,
- 1:00:53for his part, Chestnut announced he will spend July fourth at a holiday
- 1:00:59celebration at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, where he'll take part in
- 1:01:04a hot dog eating contest against four soldiers at the base. The four men
- 1:01:10combined will try to beat Chestnut alone in a five minute contest. The event
- 1:01:17will be streamed on chestnuts YouTube channel. So let's see who's gonna get more
- 1:01:24viewers chestnuts YouTube or the Fourth of July contest, And of course, a
- 1:01:31much bigger competition awaits at the end of the summer. Shortly after news broke
- 1:01:37that Chestnut would not be a cony, Netflix announced a live special on Labor
- 1:01:43Day pitting Chestnut against Kobe Shaia. It will be the pair's first competition since
- 1:01:49two thousand and nine. Koby Ashi. By the way, Candy, I
- 1:01:52hope that's all right. I'll love Candy. Why don't you go out there
- 1:01:57and let everybody know on the broadcast here you used to call dun Eden.
- 1:02:05Yeah that is it. Yeah, that's his name. Yeah, that's what
- 1:02:09about Sonoko. Candy had a good one for that one too. Soneco.
- 1:02:15That's it? Look at this this, this one who's on a roll?
- 1:02:16Here? Soneco done it in or whatever I'm withdone at it on that one.
- 1:02:21I vote for Candies. I just told her. Oh, here we
- 1:02:27go. Joshua's got it. He'd like to see George Iicorn in a hot
- 1:02:32dog eating contest again, Scott, not gonna haven it would be funny.
- 1:02:43Well, yeah, I'm sure we probably do. We get some people to
- 1:02:45watch us. Now, pardon the angers here, you know, do they
- 1:02:50eat them with the bun or just the dog itself? But everything? Yeah,
- 1:02:55Well, the different techniques they put ketchup or anything on it, or
- 1:03:00mustard, they can there's different techniques, different ones. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:03:05there's different techniques. So some of them will dip the bun in water so
- 1:03:07it's easier to go down quicker. It's really the stumble dooing beer. It's
- 1:03:12disgusting, George. It is the most disgusting thing to see in person that
- 1:03:15I've ever seen. Yeah. Yeah, but it's certainly not the most disgusting
- 1:03:20thing to talk about the day before it happens. It's no matter how many
- 1:03:22of us A lot. Hey, but you know what, I feel good.
- 1:03:24We got Kim j On here from Korea making his first appearance there talking
- 1:03:30about it, so you know, good job, Kim. Day All right,
- 1:03:32let's go ahead. So I like basketball and Dennis robin On the most.
- 1:03:37Someday, I hope Ronnie will come Visitkrea. Let me tell you something,
- 1:03:40Kim Jay, I'm glad you brought that. Dennis Robbin and I were
- 1:03:44good friends during the bad boy days. He was one of my favorites I
- 1:03:47used to talk to in the locker room. Dennis and I we were pals
- 1:03:52there and I him and I ended up going bowling one time. It was
- 1:03:54just unbelievable, wait, a good time. We talked about my most unus
- 1:04:00or and we talked about his free throw shooting, and you know, ended
- 1:04:02up it was he beat me the first game. I said, all right,
- 1:04:08I'll tell you what what winner take on and if I lose the next
- 1:04:14game, I'll go ahead and pay for the whole thing if you if you
- 1:04:16lose your paper, Ah, well, I came through to clutch and beat
- 1:04:20him and we were laughing so hard to two of us. But he was
- 1:04:24my favorite in the locker room. Whever I needed some Dennis is always there.
- 1:04:28Now, Bronnie, Well, I'm sure that when the NBA is playing
- 1:04:30overseas and you're probably probably about to get him there at some point. All
- 1:04:34right, Jonathan, Hi got Scott is a lousy gobbler. Maybe I probably
- 1:04:41will when I go out to Miller Park. Kim Jay, are people allowed
- 1:04:45to watch hockey in your country? How I am? I not surprised that
- 1:04:49Josh will throw the comment like that in there. I don't know. We'll
- 1:04:55find out, but that was pretty interesting. So there you go, folks
- 1:04:58that they come from Krea to watch it. We get it out there.
- 1:05:00My people watch rockets, all right. Interesting. Maybe one of these days
- 1:05:08I'll find a way to get cricket on here. I still don't know anything
- 1:05:11about it and all those other sports. Hey, listen, we had cordhole
- 1:05:14and why not do that and tell you it's all about hot dogs Houston Rockets.
- 1:05:19Well, Josh, that's gonna be all right. Kim Jay, can
- 1:05:23you keep up with Joshua Door? I think you're doing a pretty darn good
- 1:05:25job. All right, Now, Terry O's South You look at this guy,
- 1:05:28all right? Kenny's him? All right? Go ahead. You know
- 1:05:31I know nothing about what you're talking about. We love these two people,
- 1:05:34all right, Terry love Terry, Thank you, We love you too.
- 1:05:42Look at this stuff. Great stuff. Man. Well, we don't know
- 1:05:46who Terry is. He's you ever met this guy. I've been trying to
- 1:05:49get him to come on the air for a while, but unfortunately he hasn't
- 1:05:53made the plunge into our world. But you know, there was a time
- 1:05:57when him and I were over they Andy's party and I said, I used
- 1:06:01to call him the Chase Chicken. That was what I called it. Loose
- 1:06:06that's where he worked at and Terry, you know what, he'd handled it
- 1:06:11like a true pro. All right, So Labor Day is VC versuy.
- 1:06:14I'm sure it probably is. And then it's amazing Scott, Oh my god,
- 1:06:17that great show to find and thank you for that story. Oh you're
- 1:06:21welcome. Hey, I love telling that story. And people are gonna sit
- 1:06:25there, go ahead and talk about you know, Dennis Robbin, and Dennis
- 1:06:28Robin to me belongs in the Hall of Fame because he did something that most
- 1:06:31people wouldn't even think about doing these days. It's called defense, and defense
- 1:06:36is a foreign language. So this year's NBA and when we talk about money
- 1:06:41in the Hot Dog eating contest that we talk about NBA dollars, you talk
- 1:06:45about going from one extream to another one the cash stuff we've done tonight and
- 1:06:50the night Joshua Doors asking Kim Jay would have a government your country have I'm
- 1:06:55not even going there with this one. So so yeah, we put it
- 1:06:59in there, you know, and we'll find out exactly what Kim Jay is
- 1:07:03saying. I will take the fifth on it and Candy will chat if we
- 1:07:08get it up on time. So this show was loaded with basketball, it
- 1:07:13was loaded with hockey, and lid with a lot of calories with that set,
- 1:07:18you know. So I'm going to ask everybody around the Lord, what
- 1:07:20are you doing on July fourth? Jb ellis not much? Just girlling some
- 1:07:25stuff at the house. Not exciting. Okay, what about you, George.

- 1:14:50have to go out of town, and if I can't make shows, it's
- 1:14:54because I'm promoting that book in another market. And the only thing I'll say
- 1:14:57about Lessons from the Microphone is applies to every body, whether you're a student
- 1:15:00or whether you're looking for casual reading or just looking to learn about the media
- 1:15:04itself. This is a book that is what I consider a really good read.
- 1:15:09I put a lot of time and effort as well. So yeah,
- 1:15:12so and again Candy said, I will try more love this. It's just
- 1:15:15BA. I don't know what that means, but I'm not sure what these
- 1:15:20that ones are. You know, Walter, you were great tonight. You
- 1:15:24were great all the way around. So all I can say is it's been
- 1:15:28a fun show to do. And what else can I say? Look forward
- 1:15:30to doing again at nine o'clock Eastern time next Wednesday night, as well as
- 1:15:34the other shows we have on TAPA. With that said, anything else you
- 1:15:39wanted to add real quick? I want Walter was just saying it's hard with
- 1:15:43a five year old, so that's where the nine o'clock hour might be better,
- 1:15:45Walter. Just so you know, we typically do these shows again at
- 1:15:48nine pm for the Sports Exchange at least. Yeah, we thank you for
- 1:15:54tuning in. Oh yeah. Like I said, and if you don't happen
- 1:15:57to see us live, you can always watch it our YouTube channel. But
- 1:16:00Walter, I'll tell you you're awesome, especially when you came after us with
- 1:16:03the basketball this guy. Hey Joe, if Basketbro's ever come back again on
- 1:16:09this network, we're going to nominate Walter Mitchell to be one of the cons.
