- 1:11Speaker 1: no relation to the fish and does anybody realize did
- 1:14Speaker 1: anybody really believe that Charles Parky was going to retire?
- 1:17Speaker 1: Another fun topic, we're gonna talk about New York Yankees
- 1:19Speaker 1: announced for Meredith Marekovitz. And finally we're gonna talk about
- 1:23Speaker 1: what the heck is the NCAA doing to Jim Harbaugh.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Do you think he really cares?
- 1:27Speaker 1: No? But that's what we have and what I have come.

- 1:53Speaker 2: JB.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Let's go, man, let's go.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Oh No, it's hammer time and I don't know what
- 1:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna get slave time about a hammer time anyways. Kennedy, Yes, okay,
- 2:04Speaker 1: lays the hammer down in Gold and Men's and Women's
- 2:08Speaker 1: hammer Throw. I never even knew anything about hammer throw.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I never really really did. For Ethan Katzburg and Cameron Rogers.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You know the best part about the Olympics. You get
- 2:19Speaker 1: to come up on new sports you never even thought about.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Over the next several weeks, I'm gonna bring up a
- 2:23Speaker 1: lot more of them. But tonight it is a hammer throw,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and I'm going to hammer throw it over at Candy E.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Bling and tell me what you think about this sport
- 2:30Speaker 1: that nobody probably knew of before we started talking about
- 2:34Speaker 1: it during.
- 2:34Speaker 2: The ODI impis. I don't know who's gonna keep up
- 2:37Speaker 2: with that chat room, but they're fired up. Can't you
- 2:39Speaker 2: do the best you can. I don't move that fast.
- 2:40Speaker 2: All I do is talk that fast.
- 2:44Speaker 3: You do talk quite fast. I the hammer has been
- 2:50Speaker 3: an event in track like the track and field for
- 2:53Speaker 3: a long time. They are saying they're asking now that
- 2:57Speaker 3: they would like some DNA tests of some of these
- 3:01Speaker 3: gold medal winners, expressing some suspicions about his heritage for
- 3:07Speaker 3: Ethan Katsburg. So we'll see more more to follow on that.
- 3:13Speaker 3: You never know, but.
- 3:18Speaker 6: You know.
- 3:20Speaker 3: That that's a pretty He threw eighty four point one
- 3:23Speaker 3: two meters, But that's pretty impressive. I mean it's not
- 3:30Speaker 3: something I would do, but hey, kudos to him, because yeah,
- 3:36Speaker 3: that to each its own. I mean, he's throwing this
- 3:40Speaker 3: big fallen whipping it. Good for him for winning gold.
- 3:45Speaker 1: I don't know what eighty one two meters is. I
- 3:48Speaker 1: struggled when we went from Detroit to Toronto with the mileage.
- 3:51Speaker 1: It's a good thing that pedometer had the transition right.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Who knows somebody whether I be in jail because I
- 3:57Speaker 1: was speeding in ten and I'll go ahead, George, or
- 3:59Speaker 1: do you think about throw?
- 4:03Speaker 3: Oh?
- 4:03Speaker 5: Yeah, the Olympics. That's the fun thing about it.
- 4:05Speaker 6: Every four years you get a chance to see sports
- 4:08Speaker 6: that you would never watch otherwise. And I don't know
- 4:12Speaker 6: the controversy. He's born in British Columbia. Okay, he's twenty
- 4:15Speaker 6: two years old, the gentleman as Katsburg, as Candy mentioned,
- 4:20Speaker 6: and you know, it's quite clear to me reading his
- 4:23Speaker 6: bio that he's from British Columbia. But all that being said,
- 4:28Speaker 6: that is amazing. I mean, you know, these people trained
- 4:32Speaker 6: for these events of year after year after year. And
- 4:35Speaker 6: I know that there are championships, world meets and championships
- 4:41Speaker 6: in hammer throw throughout the years that are non Olympic years.
- 4:45Speaker 6: But that's still a great achievement, not only for this
- 4:47Speaker 6: guy from Canada, but also for all the athletes. Wonderful
- 4:51Speaker 6: job and hey, keep it up, keep up the hammer
- 4:55Speaker 6: throwing in Canada. I mean you got something going there. Man,
- 4:58Speaker 6: can't win the Stanley Cup, but you can win the
- 5:01Speaker 6: hammer throw.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Oh that's that's a ball buster in the eyes of
- 5:05Speaker 1: Joshua and the rest of his grove. There mar Jacone
- 5:08Speaker 1: uses a ball buster on the hammer throw.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Mine.
- 5:11Speaker 1: There you go, right right, Joshua, and you know what
- 5:14Speaker 1: your mouth do a ballbuster now? While John before Joshua
- 5:17Speaker 1: bothers that he's been a good soldier lately. So but
- 5:20Speaker 1: here you can actually say ball buster and you'll have
- 5:22Speaker 1: my informasion say it.
- 5:23Speaker 5: All right, ball buster.
- 5:25Speaker 1: There you go, josh I did it for you, all right, Joe,
- 5:27Speaker 1: What do you think about the hammer throw?
- 5:29Speaker 4: So Katsburg was the first Canadian male to ever win
- 5:33Speaker 4: the hammer throw, and you know, when he was speaking afterwards,
- 5:37Speaker 4: he said he didn't know if his throws reflected him relaxing,
- 5:41Speaker 4: but that's okay. His eighty four was incredible. He beat
- 5:45Speaker 4: the nearest competitor by almost five meters, which is almost
- 5:49Speaker 4: fifteen feet. Yeah, it's a big distance and I don't understand, well,
- 5:54Speaker 4: why did want a DNA test to figure out its heritage?
- 5:58Speaker 4: You know, an Olympic basket ball you have guys playing
- 6:01Speaker 4: for all sorts of countries for all sorts of reasons,
- 6:03Speaker 4: So it doesn't make any sense to me. Good to
- 6:06Speaker 4: see our neighbors from the north doing well in the Olympics.
- 6:13Speaker 4: There are so many odd sports and different things that
- 6:16Speaker 4: are happening in Paris and every four years in the Olympics,
- 6:21Speaker 4: it's pretty wild. It hard to keep track of. You know,
- 6:25Speaker 4: there's like what five or six stations and streaming service
- 6:28Speaker 4: dedicated to it from NBC. Plenty of stuff to watch
- 6:32Speaker 4: if you want to find obscure sports and different things
- 6:36Speaker 4: that you would never think are part of competing it.
- 6:39Speaker 4: And these people trained hour after hour, day after day,
- 6:42Speaker 4: week after week for months and years to be the
- 6:46Speaker 4: best of the world. That these obscure things got to
- 6:49Speaker 4: give them credit.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I'll say about the hammer throw
- 6:52Speaker 1: is now when Kande Embling does her station identifications or
- 6:56Speaker 1: station branks instead of corn hole, she can talk about
- 6:58Speaker 1: hammer throw. So she can do that. Now for all
- 7:01Speaker 1: those of you that are interesting, I have the metal
- 7:03Speaker 1: count up to date right now. The United States leads
- 7:06Speaker 1: away with ninety four. It breaks down twenty seven bronze,
- 7:09Speaker 1: thirty five silver and thirty two gold.
- 7:11Speaker 2: The rest. I'll just give you the medal counts on.
- 7:13Speaker 1: China has eighty has sixty five total medals, Australia has
- 7:17Speaker 1: forty one, Frances fifty one. They have fifty one, so
- 7:22Speaker 1: you've got of course they're probably talking gold medals ahead.
- 7:25Speaker 1: That's why the numbers are flipped. So Australia has forty one,
- 7:28Speaker 1: France is fifty one, Great Britain has forty nine, South
- 7:32Speaker 1: Korea has twenty seven, and Japan has thirty one. Those
- 7:35Speaker 1: are your total medal counts. That's wanted to make sure
- 7:37Speaker 1: that we brought gooes in there. They give you a
- 7:39Speaker 1: metal of date. So I'll just go back to what
- 7:41Speaker 1: I said. The everything I know about the hammer throw
- 7:44Speaker 1: is Kady Evelin can use that in the station breaks,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and that's about all.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I'll say it a few times.
- 7:48Speaker 1: You won't get no detailed answer out of me, so
- 7:51Speaker 1: go ahead and document that down.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Because it's doesn't happen often.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we'll go on to another controversy, which I one
- 7:57Speaker 1: of really no particular light. But when we have to
- 7:59Speaker 1: get around to the left, not toorths. Regarding the Italian
- 8:02Speaker 1: female boxer who fell onto her knees and cries as
- 8:06Speaker 1: she abandons the fight against an opponent, an Olympic proponent
- 8:11Speaker 1: deemed biologically male, after just forty five seconds, following two
- 8:15Speaker 1: powerful punches that dislodge her helmet. Not Candy, you know
- 8:20Speaker 1: what this? You know, I'll let you wait on this one.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I'll go to Joe on this one.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Go ahead. Andy likes to check things out, more details.
- 8:27Speaker 4: So from everything I've read, because I was actually going
- 8:30Speaker 4: to talk about this last night until I actually did
- 8:32Speaker 4: some research on it, and from everything I read, she
- 8:35Speaker 4: is a biological female. She was born female. You know,
- 8:39Speaker 4: the whole thing was blown out of proportion. Do I
- 8:42Speaker 4: think men or transgender should compete in women's sports?
- 8:48Speaker 5: Hell?
- 8:48Speaker 4: Now, it's unfair to everybody evolved. I'm not going to
- 8:54Speaker 4: say it's unfair to women or to a traansgender person
- 8:57Speaker 4: or to a man. It's unfair to everybody. So take
- 9:00Speaker 4: what you want from that. And you know, it was
- 9:04Speaker 4: found out that she was a biological woman through multiple
- 9:07Speaker 4: reports that I read, So I'm going to go with
- 9:09Speaker 4: those reports because I'm not a doctor, I've dever tested her.
- 9:13Speaker 4: And on top of that, if she is a biological woman,
- 9:15Speaker 4: according to what I read, the fact that I believe
- 9:18Speaker 4: she's from Algeria, you now, which is a Muslim country,
- 9:21Speaker 4: you now put her life at risk. So whoever started that,
- 9:25Speaker 4: you know, really needs to be more careful because you know,
- 9:29Speaker 4: not everywhere in the world do we have the freedoms
- 9:31Speaker 4: we have here in the United States, where you know,
- 9:35Speaker 4: I could say, I don't know whoever is a woman
- 9:39Speaker 4: or a man, and they may not be and you know,
- 9:42Speaker 4: their life probably won't be a threatened, there won't be
- 9:45Speaker 4: any consequences to them, but in a Muslim country, being
- 9:50Speaker 4: transgendered in certain Muslim countries, you know, that could be
- 9:53Speaker 4: a death sentence. So this is not a good thing.
- 9:58Speaker 4: You know, you're putting people's safety at risk, you know.
- 10:03Speaker 4: And I did read afterwards that the Italian boxer did apologize.
- 10:09Speaker 4: She said she would have shaken her hand or hugged
- 10:12Speaker 4: her at the end, I think which one it was.
- 10:14Speaker 4: You know, she wasn't happy with the way she acted.
- 10:16Speaker 4: I don't know what made her change her retrospect of
- 10:20Speaker 4: what she said and did. Unfortunately, the whole thing got
- 10:25Speaker 4: blown out of proportion. If everything is corrected, you know
- 10:29Speaker 4: she is a woman, which at all cops of what
- 10:31Speaker 4: I read is the test she supposedly failed didn't take
- 10:36Speaker 4: place until after the Boxing Commission, which is run by
- 10:40Speaker 4: the Russian oligarchs, after she beat one of the top
- 10:44Speaker 4: Russian fighters. That's when they decided to do the test
- 10:48Speaker 4: and the test and that boxing commission is banned by
- 10:51Speaker 4: the Olympics, so there's a lot of shady stuff going on.
- 10:55Speaker 4: That test was never made public either.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Take Joe and the one thing I can say right now,
- 11:03Speaker 1: and I mentioned this in my book Listens on the Microphone.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to this because I do
- 11:07Speaker 1: a lot of times when it comes to getting information right.
- 11:11Speaker 1: The reason why I put Frank Reynolds in there was
- 11:13Speaker 1: don't get first, get it right. And the problem that
- 11:16Speaker 1: you have with the Olympics is there's so many different
- 11:19Speaker 1: types of activities that you don't know if they're right
- 11:21Speaker 1: or wrong. But as a journalist, especially doing what we're doing,
- 11:25Speaker 1: we have to mention it, knowing full well that there
- 11:27Speaker 1: could be updates along the lines. So for us, we
- 11:30Speaker 1: would not be doing any a service by not mentioning it.
- 11:35Speaker 1: But I'm glad that you've gone out there and taken
- 11:36Speaker 1: it a step further by being able to go ahead
- 11:39Speaker 1: and update the story. But one thing I'll remain consistent
- 11:43Speaker 1: is it is no transit. There should never be any
- 11:46Speaker 1: sort of combatative sport or any sport where you have
- 11:49Speaker 1: a male versus a female. And on the surface, this
- 11:52Speaker 1: simply looked bad. And the Olympics did not need this
- 11:55Speaker 1: kind of publicity. It just didn't. And this was bad
- 11:58Speaker 1: early on. That's all I'm going to say about. It's
- 12:00Speaker 1: our job to report it, but I'm gonna fall back
- 12:02Speaker 1: on my my book. Okay about Frank Reynolds. Okay, I
- 12:07Speaker 1: don't want it first, I want it right pretty much
- 12:10Speaker 1: of what we preface. George, you've been around the business
- 12:12Speaker 1: a long time, Katie, Let's go back to some of
- 12:14Speaker 1: the chat a little bit before we get too far behind.
- 12:17Speaker 2: I'm a feeling we're gonna it'll be loaded today. Where
- 12:19Speaker 2: do we start?
- 12:20Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 12:21Speaker 2: You tell me, all right, I'll go ahead and let's
- 12:23Speaker 2: go through.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Okay, we got all right, everybody's happy about this group here.
- 12:28Speaker 2: I got JV. George and motor City.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Okay, Turbo Bottom, Howard, huff and throw hammers all the time.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Who caught the reel and the rare show? All right,
- 12:37Speaker 1: well it was a good show. Really, please out what
- 12:39Speaker 1: we did there?
- 12:40Speaker 2: We are?
- 12:40Speaker 1: Why are we concerned about people's heritage? Why should we
- 12:44Speaker 1: be concerned about their gender? There's no contirey. It's just
- 12:47Speaker 1: people bull busting him because he looks Australian.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:51Speaker 1: After that, it's always Josh and the guys in the
- 12:54Speaker 1: chat room. I think the South Florida Tribune needs to
- 12:58Speaker 1: start running.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Ads on made on or whatever that's over my head.
- 13:02Speaker 1: So and I'll let you go ahead and put the
- 13:04Speaker 1: ads together, okay, or USA is going to lose Servia masketball.
- 13:08Speaker 1: I've gotten an update on that one. What's going on
- 13:10Speaker 1: in high dock? Joe Kich is gonna go off?
- 13:13Speaker 2: What's off?
- 13:14Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going. Josh, you made any
- 13:16Speaker 1: more appearances on the show?
- 13:18Speaker 2: Definitive? No like to see it though.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Then I'm going to keep my talents in the chat
- 13:22Speaker 1: and okay, there you go, So keep the ball busting going.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody's getting a little bit of break while
- 13:27Speaker 1: they watched some of this comedical stuff. Robert Wardal, welcome back.
- 13:31Speaker 1: It's a woman, it's not a trand mail from a
- 13:35Speaker 1: country where transgender is illegal. Now they would send one
- 13:39Speaker 1: to replace them. She had had children. For me, I
- 13:44Speaker 1: can only trust X for my news to take JV.
- 13:47Speaker 1: George is gonna be reading me by the end of
- 13:48Speaker 1: the show cause I want to avoid get throwing great
- 13:51Speaker 1: take and joint perspective consideration, JV. There you go by
- 13:54Speaker 1: Randy Chevrier guy that we're all too familiar with. Good
- 13:57Speaker 1: guy Randy just still calling or man then they're ignorant
- 14:01Speaker 1: and trans All right, Georgie, you're taking over now.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I need this voice to the end, keep going.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and like you like you mentioned JB.
- 14:10Speaker 6: I mean you know, uh Thomas Bach, the IOC president.
- 14:14Speaker 6: He defended the participation of I mean Keev and Lynn yuting, saying,
- 14:21Speaker 6: we have two boxers who were born as women, who
- 14:24Speaker 6: have been raised as women, and who have a passport
- 14:27Speaker 6: as a woman, and who have competed for many years
- 14:30Speaker 6: as a woman. So I mean, you know, we don't
- 14:33Speaker 6: always agree with everything that the International Olympic Committee says.
- 14:36Speaker 6: I've known that for many, many years all of us
- 14:38Speaker 6: have that they're gonna be controversies that come up every
- 14:42Speaker 6: time the Olympics start or they in progress while they're
- 14:45Speaker 6: while they're being competed, whether it's the winner or the
- 14:49Speaker 6: Summer Games. And this just goes to show you that, yeah,
- 14:54Speaker 6: don't jump to conclusions. And especially like now, it's so
- 14:58Speaker 6: different because social media is so prominent, so prevalent. People
- 15:03Speaker 6: are starting rumors, they're starting bad they're they're poking fun
- 15:08Speaker 6: or insinuating things, and you just shouldn't do that.
- 15:12Speaker 5: You just can't do that. So I'm gonna have to
- 15:15Speaker 5: go with the IOC on this and the gender thing.
- 15:20Speaker 5: I'm not in that. I'm not in that field right now.
- 15:23Speaker 5: I'm not in that.
- 15:26Speaker 6: I don't believe that we should have transgender competing, you know,
- 15:29Speaker 6: switching if you will, from the men's side to the
- 15:32Speaker 6: women or vice versa. I'm not gonna approve that as
- 15:35Speaker 6: far as my personal feelings go. But I will say this,
- 15:39Speaker 6: and echoing with what you said, Joe, you know, we
- 15:42Speaker 6: cannot take chances on people's lives, their livelihood. As you mentioned,
- 15:46Speaker 6: some of their country, some of their religions are very
- 15:49Speaker 6: strict and just be careful out there, folks. When he
- 15:52Speaker 6: jump to conclusions. And like Scott said, our dear friend
- 15:55Speaker 6: Frank Reynolds, get it right, and get it right first instead.
- 15:59Speaker 5: Of jumping conclusions or relaying false information.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Good now, jump to the chat room. Finish when I
- 16:06Speaker 1: started icording, access the bets and finish it.
- 16:09Speaker 6: Yes we have Yeah, D seventy seven ax is the best.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Everything else is fake news. Joshua Door, I only trust
- 16:18Speaker 6: Southward a tribute for my news and Robert This Olympics
- 16:22Speaker 6: has been a joke. They anchored folks with the supposed
- 16:25Speaker 6: last supper, insult swimmer racing and poop infested river and
- 16:30Speaker 6: gender issues.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Okay, don't worry Georgia manning the chat room from there.
- 16:35Speaker 1: But you know what, before we go on to jvll
- 16:37Speaker 1: is getting the solo shot here, Candyellows Candy ebiling well
- 16:41Speaker 1: with any anyways, of course, Dandy Ellis would have been interesting.
- 16:44Speaker 1: We'll get just kidding, kind of blushed and laughing. Hide
- 16:47Speaker 1: behind that little nice Wisconsin slash Indiana smile.
- 16:51Speaker 2: We'll give us a station break. Go ahead before I
- 16:53Speaker 2: go ballistically.
- 16:54Speaker 3: Crazy any to talk about this topic.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Yeah, it is your turn, and then you can go
- 16:58Speaker 2: to the station.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Considering I'm the only female on this panel, I think I.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Would say.
- 17:07Speaker 3: And I was born a female too. Let's be completely honest, there,
- 17:10Speaker 3: you know, but let's face it. Her victory came after
- 17:18Speaker 3: she faced a heap of ongoing unfair speculation around her
- 17:22Speaker 3: gender following her match with Italian boxer Angela Karini last Thursday.
- 17:27Speaker 3: After she beat her, the latter told the media that
- 17:31Speaker 3: she'd never felt a punch like this before. That led
- 17:35Speaker 3: to tons of completely false speculation that Inane isn't a female,
- 17:40Speaker 3: And of course when one person starts it, it like
- 17:44Speaker 3: slowly spreads because everyone's like, oh, it's a rumor, Oh
- 17:46Speaker 3: my gosh, did you hear? Did you hear? Did you hear?
- 17:50Speaker 3: And media outlets sprouting anti trans rhetoric from JK. Rowling
- 17:54Speaker 3: to Logan. Paul Logan later admitted to spreading misinformation about
- 17:59Speaker 3: the Many of the people based their claims on the
- 18:02Speaker 3: fact that Amaine was disqualified from the Woman's World Championship
- 18:08Speaker 3: last year after she failed to meet the International Boxing
- 18:11Speaker 3: Association's gender eligibility criteria. Per the Associated Press. Reports claimed
- 18:19Speaker 3: that this was because nine had high testosterone levels. However,
- 18:25Speaker 3: there has never been evidence of this, nor has there
- 18:28Speaker 3: been any evidence of Amain having x Y chromosome. This
- 18:33Speaker 3: is just another evidence of somebody saying something and either
- 18:40Speaker 3: people want to believe it it's true, or people want
- 18:43Speaker 3: to spread gossip like wildflower, fly wildflower, like wildfire, and
- 18:51Speaker 3: it's not and it's not true. And the problem with
- 18:54Speaker 3: everybody clamoring onto things that aren't true and wanting to
- 18:59Speaker 3: be like the first to break this or the first
- 19:01Speaker 3: to tell other people. If you don't have facts behind
- 19:05Speaker 3: it and you don't know it's true, it can really
- 19:09Speaker 3: hurt somebody. Like JB said, like her career, going back
- 19:14Speaker 3: to her country, like not everybody, even in this country,
- 19:21Speaker 3: accepts everybody or all things. And so if you're spreading
- 19:25Speaker 3: some lies about somebody and you don't know the facts,
- 19:29Speaker 3: just keep your mouth shut, like just don't. If you
- 19:34Speaker 3: have facts that will back you up, then by all means,
- 19:38Speaker 3: you know, kad Kevin Durant scored the highest in the Olympic,
- 19:44Speaker 3: Like that's a fact. You can say that Giannis scored
- 19:49Speaker 3: the most of any grease player. You can say those things.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Those are facts. Saying somebody is not a woman, Like
- 19:57Speaker 3: who are you to say that? Do you have the proof?
- 20:02Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's just very hurtful.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Good points.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the one thing journalism, want and want
- 20:08Speaker 1: toll tay it. I just have enough fact to make
- 20:09Speaker 1: up your opinion. The problem with today's new media is
- 20:12Speaker 1: I always like to say, George and I and JV
- 20:14Speaker 1: can certainly relate to now because it's a part of
- 20:16Speaker 1: this crazy stuff. As you know, so many people are
- 20:19Speaker 1: just making stuff up and now if I see any
- 20:22Speaker 1: of that on social media of sorts, so I don't like,
- 20:24Speaker 1: I just I just block them from sending or.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Don't put them in my feet. I'm sick and tired.
- 20:28Speaker 1: I know where my sources are, and if my sources
- 20:31Speaker 1: aren't what they are, then I'm not going to put
- 20:33Speaker 1: them on the show. Very rarely do I ever bring
- 20:35Speaker 1: a topic on which is premely mature, like I feeling
- 20:39Speaker 1: to some extent we had to do here. But this
- 20:41Speaker 1: was a special exception because we're talking about the Olympics
- 20:43Speaker 1: and something which has been talked about a lot over
- 20:45Speaker 1: the last week, and what we're trying to do is
- 20:47Speaker 1: get clarity.
- 20:47Speaker 2: On what's what.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Thankfully, with JBL is using responsible journalism, he was able
- 20:52Speaker 1: to get more information research on it. I had as
- 20:55Speaker 1: much information as I can, but it's good when you
- 20:58Speaker 1: have your colleagues on the air able to fill in
- 21:00Speaker 1: the blanks to make sure everything is what it is.
- 21:03Speaker 2: So well done by all of you. Now Candy can

- 23:50Speaker 1: Right, well you know what we talked about this topic
- 23:51Speaker 1: on The Baseball Show, but now Joe Ellis gets to
- 23:54Speaker 1: talk about on his own. Let me set it up
- 23:56Speaker 1: for you. Mike Trout is now out for the season
- 23:58Speaker 1: second tour maniscous. In twenty twenty one, he played thirty
- 24:03Speaker 1: six games with a calf strain. In twenty twenty two,
- 24:06Speaker 1: he's played one hundred nineteen games due to back inflammation.
- 24:09Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, played eighty two games with a
- 24:12Speaker 1: broken hammet, and twenty twenty four he played twenty nine
- 24:14Speaker 1: game due to the tormiscus. Why am I having Joe
- 24:17Speaker 1: talk about it? Number one? Joe was able to talk
- 24:20Speaker 1: to Mike Trout in Anaheim. So Joe, what's your thoughts
- 24:24Speaker 1: about Mike Trout unfortunately going down again and his injury
- 24:28Speaker 1: situation is too bad. He seems like one of the
- 24:30Speaker 1: most level headed people that you can ever talk to,
- 24:33Speaker 1: as you've found out in Anaheim. Go ahead, Joe take
- 24:35Speaker 1: over and Candy can focus on him only.
- 24:38Speaker 4: So Mike Trout is by far one of the best
- 24:40Speaker 4: players in MLB. MLB has done a crap job at
- 24:45Speaker 4: promoting him, as they do with all their stars. It's
- 24:47Speaker 4: not just you know, Trout, they do that with Otani,
- 24:52Speaker 4: that's anybody that you could at all less. But as
- 24:55Speaker 4: far as his injury history, I mean, part of it
- 24:59Speaker 4: I think is called on the Angels perspective because they're
- 25:02Speaker 4: not making the playoffs. Shit again, they're not there. They
- 25:05Speaker 4: don't have the horses, they don't have the pieces put together.
- 25:08Speaker 4: I've spoken, you know, with the GM when I was
- 25:12Speaker 4: out there for a couple of minutes, I spoke with
- 25:13Speaker 4: the team. They just don't have the team together to
- 25:18Speaker 4: compete at this point. So, you know, no matter what happens,
- 25:22Speaker 4: he's one of the best players of the game. Any
- 25:24Speaker 4: sort of injury, you're not going to take a chance
- 25:26Speaker 4: of putting him out there.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Now.
- 25:29Speaker 4: You know, when they had Otani, it was a little
- 25:30Speaker 4: bit different. They had a one two punch and they
- 25:32Speaker 4: tried to put the rossa together to give him, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 4: somebody to protect him in the lineup and to have
- 25:38Speaker 4: a better team around him right now. That're just not
- 25:41Speaker 4: spending the money.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Uh.
- 25:43Speaker 4: You know, the ownership is just not invested in winning.
- 25:45Speaker 4: The ownership's invested on how to get the most out
- 25:48Speaker 4: of his franchise, almost similarly to what was done at Oakland.
- 25:52Speaker 4: You know, Artie Marino does not have the best interest
- 25:56Speaker 4: of winning at heart. As far as house injuries goes,
- 26:00Speaker 4: he hasn't been able to stay healthy throughout his career.
- 26:03Speaker 4: You know, it's a shame again with all the talent
- 26:06Speaker 4: the man has. But at the same time, it really
- 26:09Speaker 4: hasn't hurt the team that he's been injured. It's not
- 26:12Speaker 4: like he's always on the Yankees and you know he's
- 26:15Speaker 4: like Arad Judge gets hurt or Stanton or Soto gets hurt.
- 26:19Speaker 4: That's a big piece of the lineup. But you're in
- 26:21Speaker 4: the playoff hunt the Angels, they're playing for the season
- 26:26Speaker 4: to be over, go on vacation, so it really doesn't
- 26:29Speaker 4: hurt the team. It's just a shame that, you know,
- 26:31Speaker 4: the fans can't go out and see one of the
- 26:32Speaker 4: best players at MLB. You know that Mike Trout can't
- 26:36Speaker 4: enjoy playing the game. I'm sure he loves you know
- 26:40Speaker 4: that they're paying a lot of money for a guy
- 26:42Speaker 4: that just can't stay healthy.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Yeah, let's says reality. Ron Washington has done a really
- 26:48Speaker 1: good job there with what he's had to work with.
- 26:50Speaker 1: And yes, Arnie Moreno hasn't been committed to winning for
- 26:52Speaker 1: a while. And it's just the shame that all the
- 26:56Speaker 1: moves that they've made on in Anaheim, just they haven't
- 26:58Speaker 1: surrounded these guys with some players. Let's go back to
- 27:00Speaker 1: the chat room. Okay, Robert will Dell wants to go
- 27:03Speaker 1: back to the Olympics for just a moment. Okay, So
- 27:05Speaker 1: do you think that there are too many events now
- 27:09Speaker 1: in the Olympics. The answer to that is no doubt
- 27:11Speaker 1: about it. I feel like speed walking are unnecessary. Any
- 27:15Speaker 1: events you think should be removed, I don't know. Give
- 27:17Speaker 1: me time to think about it, but I still say
- 27:19Speaker 1: that there are too many. And now we're on the microphone.
- 27:22Speaker 3: And wait, wait, wait, I'm going to counteract with that,
- 27:25Speaker 3: and I'm going to say no, I think I like
- 27:27Speaker 3: the fact that there are so many different events because
- 27:30Speaker 3: that way anybody can choose to watch what they want,
- 27:34Speaker 3: and there's all kinds of plethora. Plus they try different
- 27:39Speaker 3: events in different Olympics. Some come, some go and they
- 27:44Speaker 3: test them out. I like it. I like it because
- 27:46Speaker 3: I think it gives you a chance to see athletes
- 27:49Speaker 3: and some stories that you never would have seen otherwise,
- 27:52Speaker 3: because let's face it, some of us aren't athletes that
- 27:54Speaker 3: would ever make it to an MLB or NFL. So
- 27:58Speaker 3: I like some of these other events that come up
- 28:01Speaker 3: because you when do you see track and field on TV?
- 28:05Speaker 3: When do you see diving and synchronized swimming? So I
- 28:08Speaker 3: think some of these it just gives It also gives
- 28:12Speaker 3: young kids an outlet to look at different things that
- 28:17Speaker 3: maybe they might like to try, and maybe they want
- 28:19Speaker 3: to try and be in the Olympics at some time.
- 28:22Speaker 3: And maybe they know that they don't have the skills
- 28:24Speaker 3: in a like a baseball or some of those, but
- 28:28Speaker 3: maybe they have some in swimming or diving or some
- 28:31Speaker 3: of these other events and field or some of these
- 28:35Speaker 3: different speed walking this time. You know, I like the
- 28:38Speaker 3: different ones.
- 28:39Speaker 4: I got to agree with Caddy. I mean there, listen,
- 28:42Speaker 4: there should be many events as the Olympics want to
- 28:44Speaker 4: have there. Certain countries are really good at things that
- 28:49Speaker 4: we would consider important. You know, we don't have athletes.
- 28:52Speaker 4: Look at soccer. Soccer is a major sport. US med
- 28:56Speaker 4: stink at soccer? You know, should we take it out
- 28:59Speaker 4: of the Olympics? Because no good at it? No who cares?
- 29:01Speaker 4: Let whoever wins wins, and you know there's little weird
- 29:06Speaker 4: events hammer throwing. Who knows anything about hamber throwing. Good
- 29:10Speaker 4: for those guys, that's what they want to do. They
- 29:12Speaker 4: have a talent in it. It's been a sport. You know,
- 29:16Speaker 4: who's to say that? You know, somebody in I don't know, uh,
- 29:21Speaker 4: Lithuitia doesn't look at basketball and say why do they
- 29:24Speaker 4: want to play that? Take that out of the Olympics.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Why do we have basketball at the Olympics. You know
- 29:29Speaker 4: we're gonna add flag football? What are we going to
- 29:31Speaker 4: add that?
- 29:32Speaker 2: You know?
- 29:33Speaker 4: So who's to say what should be and what should
- 29:35Speaker 4: it be there? Let them all be there, Let everyone
- 29:37Speaker 4: have their chance, and good for the people that could
- 29:40Speaker 4: could qualify and compete and win.
- 29:42Speaker 6: But breakdancing, really that's not a sport, okay.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Joe, Some of these things wait the way, way way way.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Some of these gotta go. I don't have a problem
- 29:54Speaker 1: with golf. Let's it's really Scottie Scheffler's won everything on
- 29:57Speaker 1: the planet. Why not add gold and why why.
- 30:01Speaker 4: Are there professionals in the Olympics. That's so stupid.
- 30:04Speaker 5: Well, many many difficas ago.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Get all these idiots out of there. I don't want
- 30:10Speaker 4: to see Scottie Shuffler. I don't want to see Lebron James.
- 30:12Speaker 4: I want to see our college kids against the best
- 30:15Speaker 4: of the world and have fun with it. You don't
- 30:18Speaker 4: boring it is to watch the Dream Team, whatever version
- 30:21Speaker 4: of this is. I love when they lose because it's
- 30:23Speaker 4: more fun.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Well, okay, man, break dancing is in a sport. I'd
- 30:31Speaker 3: like to see any of you on the panel. Do two,
- 30:34Speaker 3: just two, just two moves.
- 30:37Speaker 1: You're gonna add a dard sport for crying. Let's add
- 30:40Speaker 1: auto racing. I would go into that sport tomorrow. Bring
- 30:44Speaker 1: out auto racing.
- 30:45Speaker 4: For the Olympics as much as as much as I
- 30:48Speaker 4: like on a racing. How is it a sport? It's
- 30:50Speaker 4: an event.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Don't give me that business many years ago, but I
- 30:54Speaker 1: don't know if you were before you were born. Now
- 30:57Speaker 1: I need to go at you here. I had a
- 31:00Speaker 1: weekly wheel show many years ago, back in nineteen ninetyiney.
- 31:03Speaker 1: I knew you were gonna find something to get me
- 31:05Speaker 1: going to Figgett, Stevin, Natesmith, he got me me motor
- 31:09Speaker 1: city man, Mouther going nuts again?
- 31:11Speaker 2: Who cares?
- 31:13Speaker 1: I want to ask Mark Carrier many years ago, who
- 31:15Speaker 1: used to play for the Bears.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Remember Mark Carrier? Right? Okay?
- 31:19Speaker 1: I asked him whether or not whether or not the
- 31:23Speaker 1: UH auto racers or athletes. He said no, because because
- 31:26Speaker 1: you got an automobile ride instead of horses and the
- 31:29Speaker 1: hearts of their athletes. So we got the jockeys and
- 31:32Speaker 1: horses athletes. But you know, your face until the reality
- 31:36Speaker 1: was that when I jumped in the car was a
- 31:37Speaker 1: little too big to get in and out of it.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, well they better be in
- 31:41Speaker 1: good shape. But that's not the point. Let's not talk
- 31:42Speaker 1: about my weight issue. That'll be for another show. But
- 31:46Speaker 1: let me tell you something. If you want all these
- 31:48Speaker 1: other business in there, I don't care where nobody says.
- 31:50Speaker 1: I want auto racing and the Olympic period right in here.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Oh this other business. Yeah, I will say auto racing
- 31:59Speaker 1: is more of a sports. So you know, you do
- 32:01Speaker 1: make a point there, but I don't think of our sports.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Order racing is an event and a great event, you know,
- 32:07Speaker 1: like I get.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Part of the Olympics. I don't care. You got all.
- 32:10Speaker 3: These petition that you never know.
- 32:14Speaker 2: I can't get one of them cars.
- 32:17Speaker 4: They can do it out in LA. What they do
- 32:19Speaker 4: in the what do you call it? The coliseum?
- 32:21Speaker 2: Right?
- 32:22Speaker 4: They have that race.
- 32:24Speaker 1: But the point is we're talking about all this other stuff.
- 32:27Speaker 1: My goodness. I remember during the Winter Olympics, what do
- 32:29Speaker 1: they have the extreme what is that? The Extreme Games?
- 32:33Speaker 1: And they had at I know it is, but still
- 32:35Speaker 1: you said everything should be in it, So let's have
- 32:37Speaker 1: the extreme game in there.
- 32:38Speaker 4: So what they skateboarding? They got skateboarding. They have skateboarding
- 32:43Speaker 4: now in the Olympics, So I mean starting over there.
- 32:48Speaker 1: I get on some sort of a skateboarder and you
- 32:51Speaker 1: can forget about every neurologist. I have all of a sudden,
- 32:53Speaker 1: this is a headache and they can't even solve it. Sell,
- 32:56Speaker 1: what's the ones I'm having?
- 32:57Speaker 2: Now?
- 32:58Speaker 1: I want auto racing and Robert Wardell's it's got about
- 33:01Speaker 1: the million years and with no on the anything. Be careful, lol,
- 33:04Speaker 1: let me have it. I don't care about it all anyways.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I where can I come back there?
- 33:09Speaker 4: So I got the list of every Olympic sport, That's
- 33:12Speaker 4: what I like today.
- 33:13Speaker 2: You can. That's your assignment from the next show.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Ellis because because I guarantee you all of us could
- 33:19Speaker 4: qualify at twenty eight if we find it now in
- 33:22Speaker 4: four years, because you know breakdancing, I don't understand that's
- 33:27Speaker 4: in there ranking.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you something. I'm gonna go back
- 33:29Speaker 1: to my Mark Carrier story. He never thought that the
- 33:33Speaker 1: drivers were athletes in the first place, and at the
- 33:36Speaker 1: car did the driving. Of course, of course I sacked
- 33:39Speaker 1: one of those things, the boy. I brought it my
- 33:40Speaker 1: one hundred and forty seven point seven miles around the
- 33:43Speaker 1: Homestead track on the short track. I'm really proud of that.
- 33:46Speaker 1: I can't wait to get another one in that bad boy.
- 33:49Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you you ride. It's not picking
- 33:51Speaker 1: a horse. And I guarantee you anybody this is Pia,
- 33:54Speaker 1: they'll know what that needs, that's for sure.
- 33:56Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about a pony. I'm talking about ours. Okay.
- 33:59Speaker 1: I can't for pickleball, that's my jam in the last
- 34:02Speaker 1: twenty years, says Robert Orde. Yeah, I don't worry pickleball
- 34:04Speaker 1: being there at the time LA rolls around. As long
- 34:07Speaker 1: as you don't break your arms, you don't have more
- 34:08Speaker 1: injuries than of mashing that could come out in Korea.
- 34:11Speaker 2: But al right, but still, I.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Mean, come on, we gotta get me started on some
- 34:14Speaker 1: topic here, and this is the one that got ellis
- 34:17Speaker 1: and I'm back at it again. I want auto racing
- 34:20Speaker 1: in the Olympics, Dard.
- 34:23Speaker 4: I con test that if you give me the right
- 34:26Speaker 4: pit crew, I can compete at NASCAR race this Sunday.
- 34:30Speaker 2: No, right, I'll tell you what. You're on the pit
- 34:33Speaker 2: crew and I'm driving.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I guarantee you if you get me the right
- 34:37Speaker 4: crew and the car is put together, I can compete
- 34:42Speaker 4: driving a skill. I don't know if it's I think
- 34:45Speaker 4: I could do it.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Well.
- 34:46Speaker 1: You know, I'll see if my uncle Roger Penske will
- 34:48Speaker 1: help me out on this one. He used to sponsor
- 34:50Speaker 1: teams over in Southfield. Want I'll see Uncle Roger Petsky.
- 34:53Speaker 1: But I'm driving and you're not. The only chance you
- 34:56Speaker 1: have a chance to get the autible a file with
- 34:58Speaker 1: me is that we're doing a twenty four hour rate
- 35:00Speaker 1: and I can still do it. But you know, I've
- 35:02Speaker 1: covered the twenty four hour races, I've covered the twelve
- 35:05Speaker 1: and I can't wait.
- 35:06Speaker 2: For Lamont's next tune. So seriously, so Scott. What?
- 35:11Speaker 3: Auto racing has been featured at the Summer Olympics twice,
- 35:16Speaker 3: but not as a full metal event. Back in nineteen hundred,
- 35:22Speaker 3: auto racing was part of the sporting events held in
- 35:25Speaker 3: conjunction with the Exposition in Pair. Actually it was in
- 35:28Speaker 3: Paris and it was considered a major event. A French
- 35:31Speaker 3: driver won the race. And then back in nineteen oh eight,
- 35:36Speaker 3: motor boating and powerboating were included in the program for
- 35:40Speaker 3: the London Games, and in nineteen thirty six and an official,
- 35:45Speaker 3: unofficial Olympic rally was held with prizes. So it's never
- 35:51Speaker 3: been a full event, but they have.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Featured it one. It have to be f one because
- 35:58Speaker 4: NASCAR's only the US. They don't run dasscar races anywhere
- 36:02Speaker 4: out so right right, you know, so it happened, which
- 36:05Speaker 4: is different.
- 36:06Speaker 2: My grandparents were even born then. The only thing I
- 36:09Speaker 2: had alive with the great grandparents, I wouldn't know it,
- 36:12Speaker 2: and if I were to ask them, they're dead, they
- 36:14Speaker 2: wouldn't tell me either.
- 36:16Speaker 3: However, the International Olympic Committee's two thousand and one Charter
- 36:21Speaker 3: states that sports disciplines or events in which performance depends
- 36:26Speaker 3: essentially on mechanical propulsion. Are not acceptable. That's why it's
- 36:32Speaker 3: not in there.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Well, big deal with all this stupid technology. Get it,
- 36:36Speaker 1: fake to get it at twenty eight, I don't care.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Sports Illustrated reported that motor sports was being considered for
- 36:42Speaker 3: inclusion in the twenty twenty eight Olympics.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Good, there you go.
- 36:48Speaker 3: You go.
- 36:49Speaker 2: If I can't get in the car, I'm going to
- 36:50Speaker 2: cover it.
- 36:50Speaker 1: But I'll be at my min's pert. Don't worry, and
- 36:53Speaker 1: that ain't gonna happen. I'll be I'll tell you what.
- 36:55Speaker 1: After I'm done with this year and I decided to
- 36:58Speaker 1: modify my time into toy five, I'll know full well
- 37:01Speaker 1: that the motor city.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Man mount will be in that motor near you. There
- 37:05Speaker 2: you go, There you go.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Show the IOC president, whoever it is this year.
- 37:12Speaker 2: What's that?
- 37:13Speaker 4: Just the IOC president to get out.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I'll see what I can do. I'll find this guy
- 37:16Speaker 1: one way or the other. Where there's a will, there's
- 37:18Speaker 1: a way, where there's a motor, there's a mouth, and
- 37:21Speaker 1: where there's a lead foot, there's a lead foot.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Just keep me out of Georgia, off your trouble.
- 37:25Speaker 1: That's all all right, So all right, we'll go on
- 37:27Speaker 1: to the next topic here since I'm all wired up
- 37:30Speaker 1: because I want auto racing in the doings and you're
- 37:33Speaker 1: talking to guy about a guy that saw in LA
- 37:35Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty four that baseball with a demonstration
- 37:38Speaker 1: for it with my only trip to Dodger ctitium I
- 37:41Speaker 1: Southern plate.
- 37:42Speaker 2: You say, play Korea. All right?
- 37:43Speaker 1: I feel better now that I cut it off until
- 37:45Speaker 1: something else, like, yell, let's get some of my nerves.
- 37:48Speaker 1: Tell me what the deadbeat sports is on there? Auto
- 37:50Speaker 1: racing isn't everybody knows that auto racing is my passion.
- 37:54Speaker 1: It really is thanks to Russell Brandhoman became bigger when
- 37:57Speaker 1: I had that adrenaline.
- 37:59Speaker 2: So tell me that I don't even know.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Oh on, all right, So I don't care about the
- 38:03Speaker 1: rest of that stuff, all right, have you heard my point?
- 38:05Speaker 2: Yes? Okay?
- 38:06Speaker 1: Oh well, Joe, I'm sure you'll get back to bed,
- 38:08Speaker 1: but I guarantee you won't forget this broadcast because I'm
- 38:10Speaker 1: sure I'll find something else to go crazy about. Actually,
- 38:12Speaker 1: all right, that should be a new snag man, What
- 38:14Speaker 1: can he go crazy about?
- 38:15Speaker 2: Well, I won't go crazy about this one.
- 38:17Speaker 1: I'll just say, did anyone really believe that Charles Barkley
- 38:20Speaker 1: was going to retire from broadcasting? This guy can make
- 38:23Speaker 1: cocky interesting. All right, George, what do you think about Charles?
- 38:28Speaker 5: Well, I didn't think.
- 38:29Speaker 6: I thought his days were going to be numbered at
- 38:32Speaker 6: Turner because of the new contract that the NBA assigned.
- 38:36Speaker 6: But I did never thought he'd be done with broadcasting.
- 38:39Speaker 6: What I thought and still think, is that he's going
- 38:42Speaker 6: to end up with one of the other major players
- 38:45Speaker 6: who's going to be continuing to do the broadcast.
- 38:48Speaker 5: What is it ABC and NBC or something like that,
- 38:50Speaker 5: I think. But you know, the guy.
- 38:53Speaker 6: Know, the guy's got a great reputation, He's got a
- 38:56Speaker 6: great name going for himself. He can be funny as hell,
- 38:59Speaker 6: he can be mean and ornery. He just has a
- 39:01Speaker 6: great command and and and the people want to watch
- 39:04Speaker 6: him and and see what he's got to say every
- 39:06Speaker 6: time he opens his mouth.
- 39:08Speaker 5: So no, I never thought he would be gone.
- 39:10Speaker 6: I just thought he's in a little negotiation, uh status
- 39:17Speaker 6: after this contract runs out with TNT. But there's gonna
- 39:20Speaker 6: be room for people like always room for guys like yeah, Barkley,
- 39:25Speaker 6: there will be room.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Well, first of all, Barkley's in my book. So I
- 39:29Speaker 1: like Charles Barkley. If he wherever he wants to go.
- 39:31Speaker 1: I'm all for you, Chuck. I'm glad that you and
- 39:33Speaker 1: I had some time to spend in North Carolina a
- 39:35Speaker 1: couple of years ago. All right, Joe, I'm a little
- 39:37Speaker 1: bit call Himer anyways, what do you think about it?
- 39:39Speaker 2: Old Chuck?
- 39:41Speaker 4: I think I text Chuck, he don't. He don't respond.
- 39:43Speaker 4: I call Chuck, he don't, he don't answer, he don't
- 39:46Speaker 4: call back. I think Chuck needs to answer my text.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I've invited him to super Bowl parties. I divided him
- 39:52Speaker 4: on our show, my show. He has an open invitation
- 39:56Speaker 4: anytime he wants. I'll take him to get a drake,
- 39:59Speaker 4: give it, get a bus, just sit down to talk
- 40:01Speaker 4: to the bed. He's not going to retire unless he
- 40:04Speaker 4: chooses to, unless he's done with it. I don't see
- 40:06Speaker 4: him being done. But Chuck, answer my damn text. What
- 40:09Speaker 4: are you waiting for?
- 40:10Speaker 2: Hey? Listen, he just waiting.
- 40:12Speaker 1: He's just waiting for you to go out there and
- 40:13Speaker 1: play golf with him so everybody can see that gaudy swing.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Then see try that approach. I want to play golf
- 40:18Speaker 1: with you, Chuck, Maybe that might work. He let me
- 40:21Speaker 1: tell you, so, wait a minute, I pulled with Dennis Rodman.
- 40:24Speaker 1: You can go play golf with Carls Barkley. We can
- 40:28Speaker 1: all be basket cases in all these sports. I'm still
- 40:31Speaker 1: not done yet. Go ahead.
- 40:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just waiting from totally back one day.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Okay, God stuff, Joe, I'm glad you're back, my brother.
- 40:40Speaker 2: I run crying.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Okay. Candy won't get my pores, just not her head
- 40:45Speaker 1: watching the rugs. Oh that is nine fifty seventies at
- 40:48Speaker 1: a time. Uh he he won't be sleeping at night.
- 40:51Speaker 1: He'll be hanging out with Bucky and Boots and all
- 40:53Speaker 1: that stuff. All right, Candy, we'll see if you can
- 40:55Speaker 1: sell me down.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Yes a little dad. Did you already do that station break? Already?
- 41:00Speaker 5: She did?
- 41:01Speaker 2: Yes, I'll tell you I'm on a roll. I forget
- 41:03Speaker 2: the station breaks, the final break.
- 41:06Speaker 1: So yeah, she'd wait for a lot more than the
- 41:10Speaker 1: final break.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Go ahead. That's why I have so much fun doing
- 41:13Speaker 2: these shows.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Did I think Charles was ready for retirement?
- 41:17Speaker 2: Now?
- 41:18Speaker 3: I think he likes the public eye. I think he
- 41:21Speaker 3: likes to talk about uh basketball, Do we know exactly
- 41:27Speaker 3: what that means ABC and ESPN, NBC and Amazon Prime
- 41:33Speaker 3: are all expected to try and court Barkley. Inside the
- 41:38Speaker 3: NBA host Ernie Johnson has also said that he intends
- 41:42Speaker 3: to remain with TNT, but the futures of Shaquille O'Neil
- 41:46Speaker 3: and Kenny Smith remain uncertain. Barkley joined TNT in two
- 41:51Speaker 3: thousand and has been part of the iconic Inside the
- 41:55Speaker 3: NBA show, which has won twenty one Sports Emmy Awards
- 41:58Speaker 3: and has been a model for studio shows. Barkley took
- 42:02Speaker 3: home his fifth Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Analysts in May.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Do we know what his future exactly is?
- 42:10Speaker 5: No?
- 42:11Speaker 3: But he he knows the game. He's not ready to
- 42:17Speaker 3: hang it up. He's kind of not to put him
- 42:20Speaker 3: on the same pedestal because he's not. But it's kind
- 42:23Speaker 3: of like Tom Brady going and talking being an analyst,
- 42:28Speaker 3: you know, for NFL. Charles has played the game, he
- 42:32Speaker 3: knows the game. He still enjoys talking about the game.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Why would he retire? Now? If you can get paid
- 42:39Speaker 3: a lot of money to express your opinions and to
- 42:43Speaker 3: watch a game talk about it, why would you?
- 42:49Speaker 1: Well, I'll say, love Charles, I hope one of these
- 42:52Speaker 1: days Charles Barkley and my new found friend Kenny Albert
- 42:55Speaker 1: pair up someway or another. He yes, my new found
- 42:58Speaker 1: friend Kenny Albert would both exchange books. I'm hoping to
- 43:00Speaker 1: have him on a show in the MotorCity Mad Moth
- 43:02Speaker 1: Show at some point on the line when the workload
- 43:04Speaker 1: cuts down. But Charno Parkley could go in any sport
- 43:08Speaker 1: he because you know what he'll figure out. He wants
- 43:09Speaker 1: contemplay to live golf too. Before he ended up saying
- 43:12Speaker 1: at T and T, I think two people remember that.
- 43:15Speaker 1: But Charnald Parkley, you know what, he make T and
- 43:18Speaker 1: T money. He'll keep them relevant. Without him, they're in
- 43:21Speaker 1: trouble plucks. I think it's on the hook ren over
- 43:23Speaker 1: seven eight years. Wasn't that contract for another for like
- 43:26Speaker 1: two hundred and ten million dollars?
- 43:27Speaker 2: I think it is.
- 43:28Speaker 1: So he's going to make him honor it and then
- 43:30Speaker 1: they'll pay him one way or the other. So you
- 43:32Speaker 1: know wherever he's at. You know, I don't think my
- 43:35Speaker 1: mouth is valuable, so as his mine is hoping to
- 43:38Speaker 1: get valuable. With some more national syndication, with all the
- 43:41Speaker 1: different places, I'm going to try to wind up and
- 43:43Speaker 1: know all kidding aside. Charles Parkley to me is everything
- 43:47Speaker 1: that's right with announcing, especially when he continues, excuse me
- 43:52Speaker 1: to found the NBA and all the overpaid players and
- 43:55Speaker 1: the load management. The more he says, the better off
- 43:58Speaker 1: we all are.
- 43:58Speaker 5: He is.
- 43:59Speaker 1: All he does is everything we want him to tell him.
- 44:01Speaker 1: And I mentioned that to him when I actually met
- 44:03Speaker 1: the guy. So Charles, keep working as long as you
- 44:05Speaker 1: want wherever you're at.
- 44:06Speaker 2: I'm watching. Period.
- 44:08Speaker 1: You earned a friend for life. So with that said, okay,
- 44:11Speaker 1: let's go on to our next topic. But I promise
- 44:13Speaker 1: you it'll be a lot more fun than I just.
- 44:17Speaker 4: I just texted him as we're speaking, because last time
- 44:20Speaker 4: I text it was like a month ago.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:22Speaker 4: I try. If i'd you would inventive things to invite
- 44:24Speaker 4: him to or to talk to him about, because he's
- 44:26Speaker 4: gonna answer. He's definitely getting him. He actually reads them,
- 44:31Speaker 4: so he's gonna answer one day where he's going to
- 44:33Speaker 4: just block me. He hasn't blocked me yet.
- 44:34Speaker 1: So okay, good stop update talk to you by the
- 44:38Speaker 1: South flord of Tribune. All right, good stuff, mister Ellis
- 44:41Speaker 1: he back in the droow? Okay, I'm sure he wishes
- 44:43Speaker 1: he was back in juno after the way I went
- 44:46Speaker 1: out there and went crazy. But then again, it didn't matter.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I went crazy. I'm real and the rare. I'm just
- 44:50Speaker 1: a true for him.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Now.
- 44:51Speaker 1: Well with the regular crew here, all right? On another
- 44:53Speaker 1: fun topic, is I mentioned I saw a picture of
- 44:55Speaker 1: Yankees announcer Meredith Mareko. It's playing catcher. Let me tell you,
- 44:58Speaker 1: I've met Meredith before times. She's a big woman. If
- 45:01Speaker 1: there's ever a woman that could play that position a Meredith,
- 45:04Speaker 1: I'll tell you.
- 45:05Speaker 2: So.
- 45:05Speaker 1: You know what, mister Yankee guy, what do you think
- 45:08Speaker 1: of Meredith moracloth. I think she's a really good announcer,
- 45:10Speaker 1: a big woman, and she wants to play ball, and
- 45:13Speaker 1: in that particular position, I think she'd be pretty good
- 45:16Speaker 1: at it.
- 45:17Speaker 4: Don't know much about her ball playing ability. She is
- 45:21Speaker 4: a really good announcer. Yeah, you know, glad she's in
- 45:24Speaker 4: the position she's in. She worked hard to get there. Yeah,
- 45:28Speaker 4: you know, if she can play ball, wants to play.
- 45:31Speaker 4: You know, obviously not M'LB caliber at the moment, but
- 45:35Speaker 4: who knows. Anything can happen. Eventually, there's going to be
- 45:38Speaker 4: a woman that plays Major League Baseball rather than announces it.
- 45:41Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be Meredith, but what day it'll happen.
- 45:44Speaker 1: Any When I saw that picture of Meredith morakov Is
- 45:46Speaker 1: sitting behind the dish, I had no choice, but we're
- 45:48Speaker 1: going to bring it up. I had to put it
- 45:50Speaker 1: on a show where I was going to go crazy
- 45:52Speaker 1: and this is a perfect soothing here for me. But
- 45:55Speaker 1: now Meredith morakovis behind that played is a nice sight.
- 45:58Speaker 2: Whether or not. Yeah, I'll send it to you.
- 46:04Speaker 1: It was believable enough for me to use it as
- 46:05Speaker 1: a topic tonight when there were so many other things
- 46:08Speaker 1: out there. I don't worry the next few weeks, I'll
- 46:10Speaker 1: be coming up with some more off the wall Olympics stuff.
- 46:13Speaker 1: You had to make sure we keep everything in perspective
- 46:15Speaker 1: with what's out there, in addition to sprinkling in a
- 46:17Speaker 1: little Olympics stuff as well. George com Mereadith Maraca to
- 46:19Speaker 1: tell anything like her in Detroit, but you have probably
- 46:22Speaker 1: seen a little bit of her.
- 46:24Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and it'd be great scene. Like you know,
- 46:29Speaker 6: a female baseball player. We don't have a female umpire
- 46:33Speaker 6: yet in the major leagues, although they have used them
- 46:36Speaker 6: in spring training before very sparingly. But there are a
- 46:40Speaker 6: couple of good umpires that are on the radar of MLB.
- 46:45Speaker 6: They in hockey are the two major sports that have
- 46:48Speaker 6: not broken that gender barrier as far as on ice
- 46:51Speaker 6: officials or on field officials as far as catching goes.
- 46:56Speaker 5: I mean, you know, there's no question about it.
- 46:57Speaker 6: I admire the softball players when I want the softball
- 47:01Speaker 6: the Softball World Series. Oh my goodness, these ladies are
- 47:04Speaker 6: magnificent players. They are so good. The pitching is unbelievable,
- 47:09Speaker 6: the hitting and again being a backstop like I know
- 47:12Speaker 6: you were Scott when you were younger.
- 47:14Speaker 5: It's such an important part of the game to have
- 47:16Speaker 5: a catcher. I'm all for it.
- 47:18Speaker 6: Let's get Let's get some ladies to break that barrier
- 47:20Speaker 6: down and get behind a dish.
- 47:23Speaker 2: And George, can I ask you one simple question?
- 47:25Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know anything about Meredith ma Recovs only
- 47:29Speaker 1: the part that you told me?
- 47:31Speaker 2: Well, look, I do.
- 47:32Speaker 1: A little bit of work on Instagram where I'll text
- 47:34Speaker 1: you the picture and then you'll see what I'm talking about.
- 47:37Speaker 1: George gave me the Texas two step about everything except
- 47:41Speaker 1: Meredith moreco It's okay, you better quit your head, George.
- 47:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll let Candy, go ahead and handle it. Sense.
- 47:48Speaker 2: You didn't know who she was, but google her up.
- 47:50Speaker 4: George Scott before Candy goes, George speaking of women's softball,
- 47:56Speaker 4: And do you hear about the Stafford pitcher who transferred
- 47:59Speaker 4: to Excess Tech. I got a million and a half
- 48:01Speaker 4: dollar ANIL deal. She's supposedly the best pitcher in college
- 48:06Speaker 4: softball and ended up with a one point five million
- 48:11Speaker 4: dollar at IL deal. Pretty sick.
- 48:14Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll look that one up too. That one
- 48:17Speaker 5: slipt by me.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Yeah, George is gonna have a lot of homework before
- 48:20Speaker 2: this show is over.
- 48:22Speaker 4: These football and basketball players are going to start together.
- 48:25Speaker 4: If we're giving one and a half million to college softball,
- 48:28Speaker 4: good for her?
- 48:29Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well, I'll tell you my buddy, Kelly Sacho,
- 48:33Speaker 1: who's a Marylin's announcer, used to play good softball for
- 48:36Speaker 1: Syracuse University and she's doing an incredible job with the
- 48:40Speaker 1: Marlins on their broadcast team. So Kelly is one of
- 48:42Speaker 1: my favorite people down over in Miami. And I'll tell
- 48:46Speaker 1: you one thing. She's just class. I think one of
- 48:48Speaker 1: these days she's going to see her play by a bluetanny.
- 48:51Speaker 1: All right, Candy, what's your take on Meredith.
- 48:53Speaker 3: So Meredith. She is the clubhouse reporter for the Yes Work,
- 49:00Speaker 3: where she reports on the New York Yankees. She actually
- 49:06Speaker 3: went to school, earned a scholarship to play volleyball at
- 49:11Speaker 3: NC two A Division level LaSalle University in Philadelphia. She
- 49:16Speaker 3: was born in Pennsylvania. She has been she started right
- 49:21Speaker 3: away and as a sideline reporter for the Lehigh Valley
- 49:26Speaker 3: Ironpig Triple A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. She's been
- 49:33Speaker 3: working since two thousand and eight as a sportscaster. So
- 49:41Speaker 3: I don't know how much played baseball or softball, because
- 49:45Speaker 3: it sounds like she played volleyball, but she's been reporting
- 49:48Speaker 3: on the sport, so good for her. Let's face it, baseball.
- 49:56Speaker 3: Unless you really like the game, you're not why a
- 50:00Speaker 3: lot of the game, especially on TV. So all of
- 50:04Speaker 3: these networks are trying to do something to get especially
- 50:08Speaker 3: the younger males watching the game. And what how better
- 50:13Speaker 3: or what better than to put a very nice, attractive
- 50:18Speaker 3: young woman reporting on to help draw some of the attention,
- 50:24Speaker 3: maybe away from baseball, but to draw in those young fans.
- 50:28Speaker 3: Young guys all you know, any guy of any age
- 50:32Speaker 3: try and draw and get some more attention to the
- 50:35Speaker 3: game that they're trying to promote.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Well, that'll do it. That's all period. I'd say yes,
- 50:43Speaker 1: she can play catching anytime I want, even if the
- 50:46Speaker 1: word yes.
- 50:46Speaker 2: Also meets the network she's working for.
- 50:48Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm going to the last topic of
- 50:50Speaker 1: the night, and then I do want to mention something
- 50:51Speaker 1: else afterwards. Finally, I don't know what the NCAA is
- 50:54Speaker 1: doing by Asha, Looking at four your show called penalty
- 50:57Speaker 1: for LA Chargers head coach Jim Arbaugh. Really Okay, So
- 51:01Speaker 1: you want to nail for the COVID nineteen dead period
- 51:04Speaker 1: with recruiting for four years. You think Jim Harpball is
- 51:08Speaker 1: that dumb enough to ever return to college football. I
- 51:11Speaker 1: don't think so. I think the NCAA, which will be
- 51:14Speaker 1: blown up in a couple of years, to me, might
- 51:16Speaker 1: as well eat egg on this. Like to do everything else,
- 51:18Speaker 1: it ain't gonna matter. The only one that should be
- 51:20Speaker 1: worried about it would be Shirl Moore, his successor. But
- 51:24Speaker 1: Jim Harpball is never going back to college to deal
- 51:27Speaker 1: with those creeps. And I'll tell you another thing. Many
- 51:29Speaker 1: years ago, when I was covering basketball doing the Pistons,
- 51:32Speaker 1: I met Jerry Turcadian and he thinks that the NCAA
- 51:35Speaker 1: is a bunch of thieves.
- 51:36Speaker 2: And if that isn't bad enough.
- 51:37Speaker 1: A couple of years ago when I was in Talladega,
- 51:39Speaker 1: Candy was right near me when I was asking Bruce
- 51:43Speaker 1: Pearl ballad. He don't think much of them either, does he?
- 51:45Speaker 1: So I'm glad that Jim is in the NFL so
- 51:49Speaker 1: he didn't have to deal with all the nonsense. What's
- 51:51Speaker 1: a four year show called penalty?
- 51:53Speaker 2: One year?
- 51:53Speaker 1: You can't do anything when you're in LA coaching the Chargers.
- 51:57Speaker 1: It is absolutely nothing, but not worth losing my voice
- 52:00Speaker 1: over since I've done it already twice.
- 52:02Speaker 2: He can't. He's giving me this look, so you know
- 52:03Speaker 2: what you go next.
- 52:04Speaker 3: So you should break the rules and not have any
- 52:06Speaker 3: consequences just because of Michigan.
- 52:09Speaker 2: So what kind of consequences is that the guys in
- 52:11Speaker 2: the NFL. I get to go after you tonight. He
- 52:13Speaker 2: gets to go after everybody. Now I'm going after you.
- 52:15Speaker 2: I don't care where we live.
- 52:16Speaker 3: That doesn't so happy You're gonna stand up for your
- 52:19Speaker 3: your Alma matery.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Don't even go there. Don't you even go there? Number
- 52:25Speaker 2: one of the guys in the NFL. He don't care
- 52:28Speaker 2: about four years of the HC double A. He don't care.
- 52:32Speaker 2: I don't care if you're a man, a woman, or
- 52:33Speaker 2: a martian make any difference.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Oh I'm not done yet, Mom and dad and all
- 52:39Speaker 1: the in laws up there. Sorry to be treating your
- 52:42Speaker 1: favorite person like that. Nobody gives a damn about him
- 52:45Speaker 1: going back to college.
- 52:46Speaker 2: They don't. He's getting paid more money. Whoever is running
- 52:49Speaker 2: the NC DOUBLEA. You only have four conferences that make
- 52:52Speaker 2: up college football anyways. The other one died the pack too,
- 52:57Speaker 2: so give me a break. He don't care he's in LA,
- 53:00Speaker 2: whether he's in his RV or head a home, it
- 53:02Speaker 2: don't matter. He never going back to college.
- 53:04Speaker 1: So if the NCAA is looking for publicity to penalized Harba,
- 53:08Speaker 1: bad move.
- 53:09Speaker 2: All right, Kenny, go ahead.
- 53:11Speaker 3: If there's one thing I've learned is to never say never, because,
- 53:14Speaker 3: let's face it, how many NFL coaches are one and
- 53:17Speaker 3: done if they don't produce on the field, even though
- 53:22Speaker 3: he has a contract, they're quick to pull the hook.
- 53:25Speaker 3: There are so many of lately of professional sporting, whether
- 53:31Speaker 3: it be coaches, let's face it, the NBA, how many
- 53:34Speaker 3: coaches got pulled before they even made it through a
- 53:36Speaker 3: one year or only one year. So you don't you
- 53:40Speaker 3: can't tell me and guarantee me that Harbo is going
- 53:44Speaker 3: to be in the NFL four years from not. You
- 53:47Speaker 3: can't make that guarantee. So the NC two A is saying,
- 53:51Speaker 3: you know what, Harbo, you broke the rules. There's gonna
- 53:56Speaker 3: be some kind of punishment whether you come back or not.
- 54:00Speaker 3: It's gonna be there in case you decide to come
- 54:03Speaker 3: back or don't make it in the NFL. And it's
- 54:06Speaker 3: as a precedent telling everybody, all the other coaches, there
- 54:11Speaker 3: is consequences if you break their rules.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Okay, but now I'm gonna tell you what I think. Okay,
- 54:17Speaker 1: I took targeting.
- 54:19Speaker 2: And you've sayed it again. I'm saying it again. Okay.
- 54:24Speaker 2: He ain't going back to college and that's it. That's
- 54:26Speaker 2: final period. He don't need it. He don't need the money. Okay,
- 54:30Speaker 2: who needs college football?
- 54:32Speaker 1: I do need it for my network, because that's what
- 54:34Speaker 1: some of the best comments on all the viewership come.
- 54:36Speaker 1: I need it, but harvon On need it. He ain't
- 54:39Speaker 1: going back now, I will give you this much. It
- 54:41Speaker 1: probably sends a message to the other coaches. But I'm
- 54:44Speaker 1: gonna tell you he'll last more than one year in
- 54:46Speaker 1: LA and he's made enough money where it doesn't make
- 54:49Speaker 1: any difference. So I am telling you he ain't going
- 54:51Speaker 1: back there. If it sends a message to the other coach,
- 54:54Speaker 1: it's fine, but he ain't going back to college. And
- 54:57Speaker 1: you know what, if you don't believe me, talk to Jerry,
- 55:00Speaker 1: then again he dead. But you might get Bruce Pearl
- 55:03Speaker 1: out of it, all right, now that Stotton Candy went
- 55:06Speaker 1: in and like a gun at it with everybody else.
- 55:08Speaker 1: All right, Joel trying to make some sense out of
- 55:10Speaker 1: the Harbaugh situation. So I have a voice for another
- 55:13Speaker 1: five to ten minutes, because that's the ball all I
- 55:14Speaker 1: got left.
- 55:15Speaker 4: Anyways, Listen, if he broke the rules, he broke the rules.
- 55:18Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense punishing him that he's not in
- 55:20Speaker 4: college anymore. There's nothing better to do. Maybe they should
- 55:25Speaker 4: try and figure out how to you know, work with
- 55:29Speaker 4: four conferences that really only two matter. You know, the
- 55:34Speaker 4: s CUAA is in shambles already. They're going to be
- 55:37Speaker 4: going out of business to the rate that this is
- 55:39Speaker 4: going Once the schools realize they don't need them anymore,
- 55:42Speaker 4: and there's a better system. The SCAA is not a
- 55:45Speaker 4: horrible job managing the great product that they have, and
- 55:49Speaker 4: they've got a muck run a muck. It's you know,
- 55:53Speaker 4: they're they're worried about punishing somebody that isn't even going
- 55:55Speaker 4: to affect their bottom line any longer will harbor of
- 55:59Speaker 4: a coaching college, And probably because not many guys stay
- 56:02Speaker 4: in the NFL with the same team for you know,
- 56:06Speaker 4: ten years. I mean there's only one Mike Tomlin. It's
- 56:09Speaker 4: only been how many coaches are the Steelers. It's the
- 56:11Speaker 4: only job you get that you can stay there as
- 56:13Speaker 4: long as you want. Everybody else, even the Giants, which
- 56:16Speaker 4: are a model of consistency, has been running for coaches.
- 56:20Speaker 4: So you know there's a chance he'll be back in
- 56:22Speaker 4: college in a few years.
- 56:25Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll see, all right.
- 56:27Speaker 1: I still say no it's any NFL until he wins
- 56:30Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. But that's I've already said plenty. All right, George,
- 56:33Speaker 1: have you been able to take it all in here?
- 56:35Speaker 1: Did we keep away at their dead time that time?
- 56:38Speaker 6: Well, you know, the NCAA there out to get a
- 56:41Speaker 6: big program. We all know that they were chopping at
- 56:44Speaker 6: the bid.
- 56:45Speaker 5: To come down hard on Michigan.
- 56:47Speaker 6: And don't forget there's another one that's coming out too,
- 56:50Speaker 6: which is the case involving the spygate and the stealing signals,
- 56:54Speaker 6: and the new coach is involved in that situation. So
- 56:58Speaker 6: it didn't surprise me. I thought it was pretty hefty though,
- 57:01Speaker 6: the four years. But the fact of the matter is
- 57:04Speaker 6: the NCAA is trying to rule with an iron fist.
- 57:08Speaker 6: No matter what you say about them, they're still in
- 57:10Speaker 6: charge athletics across the country.
- 57:14Speaker 5: So that didn't surprise me.
- 57:16Speaker 6: Whether whether Jim Harborough is going to come back into
- 57:18Speaker 6: college sports, I don't know that.
- 57:20Speaker 5: I lean towards what Scott said. He's he's an NFL guy.
- 57:24Speaker 6: Now that's probably where he's going to finish his career,
- 57:26Speaker 6: I think as well. But they had they had they
- 57:29Speaker 6: started the investigation, so they wanted to prove their point
- 57:34Speaker 6: against the top program, a top ten program in the league,
- 57:37Speaker 6: in the in the country, I mean, So that's basically
- 57:39Speaker 6: what I the way I look at the situation.
- 57:42Speaker 1: Yeah, for a coach that isn't even there anyways, big deal.
- 57:45Speaker 1: The biggest thing is you have the college football Playoff,
- 57:47Speaker 1: Thank god, running it. Also, they can't lose their national championship.
- 57:51Speaker 1: You can bear so many way you want. He spend
- 57:54Speaker 1: up tenure. Probably he's going back, okay, but the reality
- 57:58Speaker 1: is they're not losing that national champion and that is it.
- 58:01Speaker 1: But that said, all right, Candy, I don't have much
- 58:03Speaker 1: voice left. But then again, everybody probably knows why anyhow,
- 58:06Speaker 1: So with that said, once she goes one last station break,
- 58:09Speaker 1: what a great addition here, the sports has change. I've
- 58:12Speaker 1: had two straight shows that I can go ballisted, and
- 58:14Speaker 1: my old Candy said, man out there, how many hours
- 58:17Speaker 1: of sleeping? She knows that jvlis is going to go
- 58:20Speaker 1: back to bed, and don't be del none of this stuff, officious, guy,
- 58:23Speaker 1: where everything about me? Oh, he's another couple hours away
- 58:25Speaker 1: from getting to sleep whatever. Who cares? Sleep is a luxury.
- 58:29Speaker 1: When I'm dead, I won't have to worry about it.
- 58:31Speaker 1: And if anybody ever wants to know where I'm going
- 58:33Speaker 1: to be interned, to be Wisconsin Memorial Park up in Wisconsin,
- 58:37Speaker 1: and I'll be in a crypt, not underground, taking a
- 58:40Speaker 1: concrete nap, not a dirt nap. All right, Candy, all right,
- 58:44Speaker 1: So Alice is wondering l wonder where's all this stuff
- 58:48Speaker 1: coming from.
- 58:48Speaker 2: I don't know it's coming from the mouth. I think
- 58:51Speaker 2: my DONI out done you? Sure not really, but I'm
- 58:55Speaker 2: doing my show.
- 58:59Speaker 3: What pub is brought to you by The Sulfur Attribune,
