Speaker 1: rare and appropriate times because his airness has entered the chat.
2:41
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan getting paid a little more than I got
2:45
Speaker 1: paid when I worked at NBC. But Michael Jordan's stop
2:47
Speaker 1: by NBC for a little camera side chat with Mike
2:51
Speaker 1: Turco and these big leather chairs, big leather chairs. Do
2:57
Speaker 1: you see any of this? No, you weren't watching. You
3:01
Speaker 1: didn't watch. The Knickerbockers and the Celtics are well. Michael
3:05
Speaker 1: Jordan discussed a bunch of things, including his love of
3:09
Speaker 1: the game clause, the legendary love of the game clause
3:13
Speaker 1: that he had in his contract with the Chicago Bulls,
3:16
Speaker 1: and Jordan also brought up the modern player in comparison.
3:19
Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen. Here's
3:21
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan the love of the game other.
3:23
Speaker 3: Game of contract. Right, if I was driving with you
3:25
Speaker 3: down the street and I say I play basketball game
3:28
Speaker 3: inside the road, I can go play in that basketball game,
3:32
Speaker 3: and if I get hurt, my contract is still guarantee.
3:34
Speaker 3: I love the game so much that I would never
3:37
Speaker 3: let someone take the opportunity for me to play the
3:39
Speaker 3: game away from me, as opposed to now where you
3:43
Speaker 3: don't have it, players probably don't play now they.
3:47
Speaker 1: Get individual at tension with their trainer.
3:49
Speaker 3: Sure, anyway to go out and shoot a hundred shots
3:51
Speaker 3: to one thousand shots. I found that to my benefit
3:55
Speaker 3: was go play basketball, man, That's what you did, That's
3:58
Speaker 3: what you grew up doing.
4:00
Speaker 1: There you go. I'm the same way as Jordan. If
4:04
Speaker 1: I go and see somebody doing sports takes on the
4:06
Speaker 1: side of a country road, I'll pull over and I'll
4:08
Speaker 1: do sports takes. And I have it in my contract
4:11
Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio where I'm allowed to get
4:14
Speaker 1: into a sports debate on a dark country road out
4:18
Speaker 1: in the boondocks, and they allow me to do that.
4:20
Speaker 1: I had that written in. Yeah, I had that. That
4:22
Speaker 1: was written into the contract. And Jonas Knox does not
4:25
Speaker 1: have that. He's not allowed to do that. He cannot
4:27
Speaker 1: pull over and do a hot take a debate on
4:30
Speaker 1: the side of I have that. That's me, just like
4:32
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. I'm the Jordan of my time. All right,
4:34
Speaker 1: So let's get into this. Let's discuss That's a good
4:36
Speaker 1: jumping off point what Jordan said. So how did Michael
4:39
Speaker 1: Jordan's comments about today's players essentially not playing basketball enough, right,
4:44
Speaker 1: not loving the game, not wanting to play enough. How
4:46
Speaker 1: did that hit you? So I've got pickley wiggley, belly
4:50
Speaker 1: whopper and free choley, and we will combine all of
4:55
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to channel money ball.
4:58
Speaker 1: Mallor is what we're going to channel.
5:00
Speaker 4: So number one, his airness stepped up to the microphone.
5:10
Speaker 1: Step right up, step right up, fun for all ages,
5:12
Speaker 1: his there has stepped up and basically told today's NBA
5:16
Speaker 1: players kids yet don't play enough basketball. He dropped the
5:20
Speaker 1: mic and he walked away. And you know what doesn't
5:25
Speaker 1: sound wrong to me, doesn't sound wrong to me in
5:28
Speaker 1: Jordan's speak, which is not coach speak. In Jordan speak,
5:32
Speaker 1: the actual basketball part of basketball has become for the
5:37
Speaker 1: modern player an inconvenience. It is an inconvenience, a nuisance
5:45
Speaker 1: to the modern player. It's an ingrown toenail, is what
5:49
Speaker 1: it is. And it's an ingrown tonabo toenail on an
5:53
Speaker 1: oversized foot for the modern superstar. Jordan. Now, was this
5:59
Speaker 1: a humble brac, Sure of course it was. It was
6:02
Speaker 1: better in mine day. And this is one thing in
6:04
Speaker 1: my life. I remember when I started in the sports
6:07
Speaker 1: radio and were there were guys from the old generation
6:10
Speaker 1: who were ripping the modern player of the nineties. They said,
6:12
Speaker 1: those guys are a bunch of softies. Alan Iverson and
6:15
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, and that generation the guys from the eighties,
6:19
Speaker 1: and now then the guys from the nineties ripped the
6:22
Speaker 1: following generations. It's it's the same thing, I mean, but
6:25
Speaker 1: on Jordan's point, I think they say he hit it.
6:30
Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan had the fire in the belly. Was
6:32
Speaker 1: baked into his contract that he could play a pickup
6:34
Speaker 1: game of basketball anywhere, anytime, even if it was on
6:39
Speaker 1: a cracked blacktop next to a pigley wiggley in Wilmington,
6:42
Speaker 1: North Carolina, it didn't matter. And if he blew out
6:45
Speaker 1: his knee too bad, Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner at the time,
6:49
Speaker 1: had to pay the contract, had to cut the check,
6:53
Speaker 1: cut that check, cut that check to Michael Jordan. And
6:57
Speaker 1: that's how deep his obsession. His obsession right, And so
7:01
Speaker 1: he was a Jim Ratt loved basketball stuff, lived in
7:04
Speaker 1: the weight room and the practice cord and occasionally casino.
7:10
Speaker 1: That would happen. Now today, the new age baller, they
7:15
Speaker 1: float on an inner tube down the Lazy River. They do,
7:19
Speaker 1: yet they have all the creature comforts. They have private chefs,
7:23
Speaker 1: they have personalized trainers, they have the shooting coaches, they
7:26
Speaker 1: have the stretching gurus, they have sleep consultants, they have
7:29
Speaker 1: a social media team, they have emotional support gardeners for
7:33
Speaker 1: some reason, I don't know why you'd need that. So
7:35
Speaker 1: it's work smarter, not harder. That's the mantra there the motto,
7:39
Speaker 1: But Jordan's message was kind of obviously, stop hiding behind
7:44
Speaker 1: the amenities checklist. It's kind of weak. Go play basketball, man.
7:49
Speaker 1: The game has become a chore and the issue, and
7:53
Speaker 1: to me this cuts down to the main problem that
7:56
Speaker 1: I have with watching basketball, that the player treat it
8:00
Speaker 1: like it's taking out the trash day. You know how
8:03
Speaker 1: you got to take the trash out and want to
8:05
Speaker 1: take he wants to take the trash out, but it's
8:08
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. You know, if trash fills up,
8:11
Speaker 1: you don't want a bunch of vermin in your home,
8:14
Speaker 1: so you throw the trash out. And it shows in
8:17
Speaker 1: the product like it does. I have it on in
8:20
Speaker 1: the background. I was watching the Knick Celtics game, and
8:22
Speaker 1: I saw the Warriors game after that, and at least
8:26
Speaker 1: the first half, and it shows in the product where
8:29
Speaker 1: you can tell as a fan the players don't really
8:33
Speaker 1: seem like they want to be there. They like playing
8:35
Speaker 1: grab ass with the other players and all that. They
8:37
Speaker 1: don't really want to play in the regular season game.
8:39
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything other than we're getting eight million
8:43
Speaker 1: dollars a game or some ridiculous thing like that. All right,
8:45
Speaker 1: now more of Michael Jordan audio from and B see. So,
8:50
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was asked if the players of today's version
8:55
Speaker 1: of basketball have the mindset to achieve greatness, which is
9:00
Speaker 1: so we call a low hanging fruit question. That is
9:04
Speaker 1: a t ball question for Michael Jordan. So again, Jordan
9:07
Speaker 1: asked by Mike de Rico if the players of the
9:10
Speaker 1: modern NBA have the mindset to achieve greatness. Let's go
9:13
Speaker 1: to the audio tape. It's hard to be hungry when
9:16
Speaker 1: you have, as simple as that. I mean, if you
9:20
Speaker 1: don't have, you are willing to do whatever you have.
9:23
Speaker 3: So my mental approach was to going do my job,
9:28
Speaker 3: be the best basketball player I can be, and all
9:30
Speaker 3: the chips and everything outside of that. I have people
9:34
Speaker 3: that was handling that, you know, but basketball court, I'm
9:37
Speaker 3: handling it right. And now it's like it's a prerequisite.
9:41
Speaker 3: You know, everybody has to have a logo, everybody has
9:44
Speaker 3: to have a you know why right, Well, I'm pretty
9:47
Speaker 3: sure I'm part of the reason.
9:48
Speaker 1: Why every part of the round to get a logo.
9:50
Speaker 1: But brand right, brand right, brand Jordan.
9:52
Speaker 3: But the thing is is that that brand established based
9:56
Speaker 3: on what I did on the basketball court. You know,
9:58
Speaker 3: I didn't put the brand before I put the work.
10:01
Speaker 3: You know, I put the work first, and then the
10:04
Speaker 3: brand evolved based on the work.
10:06
Speaker 1: Right there you go? All right, So that's Michael Jordan
10:08
Speaker 1: on the Athlete today. So the question what do you
10:11
Speaker 1: take away from that? Michael Jordan's comments about that today's
10:14
Speaker 1: basketball players in the NBA wanting the logo right away,
10:18
Speaker 1: right away. So I took away the C word, not
10:23
Speaker 1: that sea word coddled. That's what I took away. Jordan's like,
10:26
Speaker 1: oh these guys are coddled and air Jordan, nothing but
10:30
Speaker 1: net on this one. I also relate to this because
10:33
Speaker 1: the management. I really want to thank the company. They
10:35
Speaker 1: have decided they want to keep me hungry. They don't
10:38
Speaker 1: want to pay me cowhard money or Dan Patrick money,
10:41
Speaker 1: or they just want me to really still have that
10:44
Speaker 1: fire in my belly. And I thank them for that.
10:47
Speaker 1: And so just keeping it real and it does mean something.
10:51
Speaker 1: But the way I look at it, The goat, the
10:54
Speaker 1: real goat, not Lebron James, please. The goat basically said
10:58
Speaker 1: that the modern basketball player, it wants the logo before
11:01
Speaker 1: the legacy and the brand, before the blood, sweat and tears,
11:06
Speaker 1: and coming from Michael Jordan. Who's got that cachet, right,
11:09
Speaker 1: the guy who's silhouette Michael Joe. You realize his silhouette
11:13
Speaker 1: that shot of him from the slam Dunk contest extended
11:17
Speaker 1: out that logo of Michael Jordan. The silhouette of Michael
11:21
Speaker 1: Jordan has essentially replaced the Church steeple in American sporting culture.
11:28
Speaker 1: It is crazy and it says something. But this is
11:30
Speaker 1: a belly whopper, I wrote on my scorecard, belly whopper.
11:35
Speaker 1: A full belly makes a dull brain, it does. And
11:39
Speaker 1: so these guys are born into once you're determined to
11:44
Speaker 1: be a prodigy, from the time you're about what ten
11:47
Speaker 1: years old, Oh man, you're good to go. And it's
11:50
Speaker 1: like a decade of having your ass kissed and nil
11:53
Speaker 1: deals now and sneaker deals and documentary crews following your
11:57
Speaker 1: journey to the NBA off court production companies, all that stuff.
12:02
Speaker 1: And there was a point where you had to you
12:04
Speaker 1: had to earn it. You had to outwork the horse, right,
12:06
Speaker 1: That was the old line. Had at work the horse.
12:08
Speaker 1: Now you don't have to outwork the horse. There is
12:10
Speaker 1: no horse, of course, of course, of course. And get
12:13
Speaker 1: all the goodies, all the goodies, all the perks, right
12:16
Speaker 1: and all that, and just have to make sure that
12:19
Speaker 1: you use the right filter on your Instagram story and
12:21
Speaker 1: you're you're good to go.
12:22
Speaker 3: Now.
12:22
Speaker 1: The NBA is one giant tech incubator in sneakers, That's
12:28
Speaker 1: what it's And the league is drowning in the abundance
12:32
Speaker 1: of caution culture, which is another issue with love of
12:36
Speaker 1: the game and all that. I feel like that's the
12:38
Speaker 1: unofficial slogan. Is there anything I'm wrong on that the
12:41
Speaker 1: unofficial slogan of the NBA is out of an abundance
12:43
Speaker 1: of caution? Like this is the modern NBA. You stub
12:48
Speaker 1: your toe, don't rub some dirt on it, missed the game?
12:52
Speaker 1: Come on, gotta rest? Back to back?
12:55
Speaker 3: Come on?
12:55
Speaker 1: What do we are? We we some kind of a
12:58
Speaker 1: wild uh dracone in the Andanderthal world? You can't play back?
13:02
Speaker 1: Do you think that a modern athlete can play back
13:06
Speaker 1: to back? What is wrong with you. For the love
13:08
Speaker 1: of God, we cannot expect our athletic heroes to play
13:12
Speaker 1: back to back. Do you work back to back days?
13:15
Speaker 1: I don't work back Oh that's right, I do work
13:17
Speaker 1: back to back days. Oh okay, you work, but you
13:19
Speaker 1: work two days. Really you have a second job? Is
13:22
Speaker 1: that right? Oh my god? Oh oh my? Uh so
13:28
Speaker 1: load management? National TV A big game Island game. Now
13:31
Speaker 1: the algorithm says you should not play. The algorithm says.
13:34
Speaker 5: Do not play.
13:35
Speaker 1: Okay, just chill out. Everyone is so warped in this
13:41
Speaker 1: bubble rap that it's it's got more bubble rap on
13:45
Speaker 1: these basketball players than Amazon spends on buying bubble wrap
13:49
Speaker 1: for the packages they send out. And it's the bare
13:52
Speaker 1: minimum optics is what it is. Bare minimals, Like, just
13:57
Speaker 1: do the bare minimum, check the contract compliance box. If
14:00
Speaker 1: you're an NBA star, Like you're clocking in at a
14:03
Speaker 1: cubicle on a nine to five, and so Jordan's telling you,
14:07
Speaker 1: He's like, listen, today's players want the logo before they've
14:11
Speaker 1: earned the lore. And it is true. As someone that
14:14
Speaker 1: lived in a world before Michael Jordan was a superstar
14:16
Speaker 1: in the NBA, it happened coincided. There was a famous
14:20
Speaker 1: commercial with Spike Lee. How about spikee. Isn't Spike Lee
14:23
Speaker 1: almost seventy He's still fan boying it up at the
14:25
Speaker 1: Knicks game. Isn't that great? So I'm on the tv? Anyway,
14:28
Speaker 1: There was a Spike Lee Michael Jordan commercial that kind
14:31
Speaker 1: of took that thing to the next level back in
14:32
Speaker 1: the day. But Jordan's He's telling you, it's like, listen,
14:34
Speaker 1: these guys, this is what they want. This is the
14:36
Speaker 1: world we were in, which is really fresh from Jordan
14:39
Speaker 1: considering it's his business model that everyone wants to mimic. Right,
14:44
Speaker 1: It's the Jordan model that everyone wants. It's not his
14:47
Speaker 1: love of the game, it's the love of the chi
14:49
Speaker 1: ching chi ching, chi ching chi ching. The brand extension
14:53
Speaker 1: is what it is. And the product, of course, the
14:55
Speaker 1: NBA product right now is as bad as it's ever
14:59
Speaker 1: been in my life, diluted like cheap Gatorade powder. There
15:04
Speaker 1: was a point the NBA was really bad in the nineties,
15:07
Speaker 1: I remember, because they had Mike Fortello was coaching the
15:09
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cadavers and pat Riley was coaching the Knickerbockers, and
15:13
Speaker 1: it was slowed down. It was really boring, dull basketball,
15:16
Speaker 1: but at least the players were playing now not so
15:20
Speaker 1: much all right now, final point speaking of that to
15:23
Speaker 1: La Lawland, we go where Lebron James, who's looking up
15:28
Speaker 1: at the goat and Michael Jordan wishing he was Michael Jordan.
15:31
Speaker 1: So Lebron James extended his double digit scoring streak to
15:35
Speaker 1: one two hundred ninety seven games. He did this the
15:39
Speaker 1: other night in a cloud of controversy. Yeah, so the
15:44
Speaker 1: Lakers were blown out by the Phoenix Suns thunder Dan
15:50
Speaker 1: Marley with a couple of hammer dunks there for the Suns.
15:53
Speaker 5: It was.
15:53
Speaker 1: It was wild how good they were, and my god,
15:55
Speaker 1: did they had. Mary Stottemeyer had a big day there
15:59
Speaker 1: and just really good team there for the Phoenix Sis. Anyway, Lebron,
16:04
Speaker 1: he was playing in garbage time with a bunch of
16:08
Speaker 1: backups when he reached the ten point marker, and that
16:13
Speaker 1: had a lot of people raising their eyebrows saying like,
16:15
Speaker 1: what are you doing, dude? Let it die, Let it die,
16:19
Speaker 1: Let it die, let it die, let it die. All right,
16:20
Speaker 1: So question Lebron James being accused of catering to his
16:26
Speaker 1: legacy stat padding. Lebron James to get to ten points
16:32
Speaker 1: to continue that streak of double digit games. Is this
16:35
Speaker 1: accusation against Lebron James inbounds or out of bounds? That's
16:42
Speaker 1: the question. So we went to a booth review on
16:46
Speaker 1: this and expedited booth review and we determined its inbounds.
16:50
Speaker 1: Inbounds now as inbounds as oxygen being required for human
16:57
Speaker 1: beings to survive, you need oxygen, very important. You have oxygen.
17:00
Speaker 1: You don't have oxygen, you got problems. We don't even
17:02
Speaker 1: know why anyone would be pretending that this is not
17:07
Speaker 1: what it's being described as unless you are so far
17:10
Speaker 1: up Lebron's took us you can't see any sunlight. Okay,
17:14
Speaker 1: that might be the case, but Lebron is an full
17:16
Speaker 1: on in this game. It was full on legacy maintenance mode.
17:20
Speaker 1: That's what Lebron was doing. And he's out there polishing
17:23
Speaker 1: his resume like he's working part time at Zales and
17:26
Speaker 1: he's dealing with the jewelry. At the end of the day,
17:29
Speaker 1: Lebron trying to get that new endorsement deal with Fredo
17:32
Speaker 1: lay Now you might have heard back in the day
17:34
Speaker 1: of the Freto Bandito. Well, Lebron's like, what about the
17:38
Speaker 1: statistical Bendito. That's me Lebron James guys stealing hollow numbers,
17:45
Speaker 1: hollow numbers like he's running a smash and grab operation
17:49
Speaker 1: in the box score. Now junk stats, a lot of
17:51
Speaker 1: junk stats, garbage time compost and this goes on all
17:55
Speaker 1: the time, and we try to call it every time
17:58
Speaker 1: we see it. We pointed out the great examples of
18:01
Speaker 1: this are Russell Westbrook with the most bogus triple double
18:04
Speaker 1: season of all time. If you go back, there's some
18:06
Speaker 1: videos there. Russ was doing cosplay and I think it
18:08
Speaker 1: was twenty seventeen. I want to say, I think that's
18:11
Speaker 1: about right. Remember him boxing out. The videos were great
18:14
Speaker 1: on YouTube. He was with OKC. He was literally Russell
18:17
Speaker 1: Westbrook was boxing out his own teammates to get rebounds.
18:23
Speaker 1: He was boxing out his own teammates. Hey hey, numb nuts,
18:27
Speaker 1: you're on the same team. And then there was a
18:30
Speaker 1: there were some videos of the bigs on okay see
18:33
Speaker 1: at the time who were literally trying to get out
18:36
Speaker 1: of the way so Westbrook could get the bogus triple
18:38
Speaker 1: double stats. It was hilarious. And the thing about this
18:42
Speaker 1: is that we remember it in the moment. But when
18:45
Speaker 1: people go back and look at the Wikipedia pages of
18:47
Speaker 1: these guys, the next group of fans, they don't realize this.
18:51
Speaker 1: They're not smart enough to do the research on that,
18:54
Speaker 1: nor do they have the time that that's a bogus record.
18:57
Speaker 1: This is a bogus record and all that stuff. So
19:00
Speaker 1: it's not just basketball. It goes on in all the
19:01
Speaker 1: other sports as well. Remember Josh Allen, Josh Allen checked in.
19:06
Speaker 1: It was a week eighteen game. I believe they were
19:09
Speaker 1: playing the Patriots. The Bills were playing the Patriots. He
19:11
Speaker 1: played one play, if I remember correctly, Josh Allen, so
19:14
Speaker 1: his iron Man streak would continue one play, Keep it alive,
19:19
Speaker 1: Keep it alive. Okay, there you go. The stat padding.
19:23
Speaker 1: Marching band applauds that they play the music and all that.
19:26
Speaker 1: It's just absolutely great. So Lebron hit the ten point
19:30
Speaker 1: mark with about seven minutes to go in the game.
19:33
Speaker 1: The Lakers were down by twenty five points. He got
19:38
Speaker 1: then yanked like a bad karaoke singer. A moment later
19:42
Speaker 1: they took him out there. Those are not meaningful stats.
19:44
Speaker 1: Those are what we call vanity calories. Those are empty carbs.
19:48
Speaker 1: That's what that is. And yet when Lebron, when Lebron's
19:52
Speaker 1: long gone from playing in the NBA, and they look
19:54
Speaker 1: at that stat the casuals, low information fantals. You look
19:58
Speaker 1: at that record, they're not gonna remember Lebron stat padded
20:00
Speaker 1: that and was playing in garbage time to try to
20:02
Speaker 1: get to ten points. He really has shown his age
20:05
Speaker 1: this season. Lakers have a really good record, but he
20:07
Speaker 1: has shown his age. So it's a Fugazi situation.
20:11
Speaker 3: Now.
20:11
Speaker 1: At least Lebron did not reach the level of the
20:13
Speaker 1: single greatest, the single greatest stat padding moment in the
20:18
Speaker 1: history of my career in talk radio. It happened over
20:21
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, one of the great moments. I'm not
20:24
Speaker 1: making this up. It sounds like I'm making this up,
20:26
Speaker 1: and I'm so. One of Lebron's teammates a guy named
20:29
Speaker 1: Ricky Davis. Ricky Davis needed one more rebound to get
20:36
Speaker 1: a triple double. So what did Ricky Davis do? Time
20:39
Speaker 1: was running out. Ricky Davis decided to shoot a basket
20:45
Speaker 1: at his own basket, of course, to miss it to
20:48
Speaker 1: get the rebound, and David, sir, they had a commission
20:54
Speaker 1: with balls and hair on his chest at the time,
20:55
Speaker 1: and David Sturts. So that's not going to count. Sorry,
20:58
Speaker 1: we're not counting that now. Adam Silver, Today's commissioner, he
21:02
Speaker 1: probably would have called it creative stat expression. We must
21:05
Speaker 1: let our players express themselves. And even though it's just
21:09
Speaker 1: a dirty play, we're going to allow it because it's
21:11
Speaker 1: creative stat expression. That's Adam Silver's NBA and that's the
21:16
Speaker 1: product that's not very good right now. It's all part
21:18
Speaker 1: of the Lebron. This story is part of the Lebron experience,
21:22
Speaker 1: and not the good part it is. The Ben Maler

Speaker 1: James Crush at three fifteen in the morning, say well,

Speaker 1: something about Alcatraz. Dog, says Liz stat pads a clown
24:03
Speaker 1: his record. His records are more hollow than the planet
24:08
Speaker 1: we all live on. Also, apparently the Clippers just fired
24:11
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. I think he fired himself. The way that
24:16
Speaker 1: team must hate each other by that, there must be
24:17
Speaker 1: some really good stuff that's gonna come out on the Clippers.
24:20
Speaker 1: How much they don't like each other. There's some kind
24:22
Speaker 1: of scandal. Uh, you have to really not like each
24:26
Speaker 1: other to play as bad as they're playing like, there's
24:29
Speaker 1: gotta be some serious stuff going on. It's gonna come
24:32
Speaker 1: out and make some kind of Netflix documentary. Chatting with
24:35
Speaker 1: a couple of people about that the other day, or
24:37
Speaker 1: like this team is it's one thing to be bad.
24:41
Speaker 1: They're not just bad, like they're intentionally booby trapping the season,
24:47
Speaker 1: like they're throwing the ball away unforced mistakes like these
24:50
Speaker 1: are all a roster of the oldest team in the NBA,
24:53
Speaker 1: and they're playing like they hate each other. It's gotta
24:56
Speaker 1: be something good there. Fat Daddy writes and says, one
24:58
Speaker 1: hundred percent big man about Michael Jordan. I'm talking about
25:02
Speaker 1: these today's today is the leads that are coddled and babied.
25:08
Speaker 1: I think something else. Today's athletes are to prima donna.
25:12
Speaker 1: There you go. They had to start looking looking up
25:16
Speaker 1: Jack Lalaine at sixty five, at seventy old, both times
25:20
Speaker 1: he pulled boats for his birthday. All right, very good, Well,
25:26
Speaker 1: the expensive cookies that would be the big short We're
25:30
Speaker 1: talking about. More about this later. But Penn State fired
25:34
Speaker 1: James Franklin. They assumed they could get anyone they want
25:37
Speaker 1: because they're Penn State, and they could not have been
25:42
Speaker 1: more wrong, could not have been more wrong. They turned
25:45
Speaker 1: their attention to the BYU coach, and they didn't get him.
25:50
Speaker 1: They didn't get him because the CEO of Crumble Cookies, yes,
25:57
Speaker 1: the overpriced delicious Crumble Cookies, cut a fact check to
26:02
Speaker 1: BYU to pay for a giant raise for their football coach.
26:06
Speaker 1: So Penn State and all those big whale boosters and
26:11
Speaker 1: all that outbid by the CEO of Crumble Cookies, which
26:16
Speaker 1: tells you how much money they must be making selling
26:20
Speaker 1: those cookies. Right, those eight nine dollars cookies that have
26:24
Speaker 1: about a dollar worth of material in them.
26:26
Speaker 6: I'm not a big fan.
26:28
Speaker 1: I think they're great, and I've made ripoff versions for
26:31
Speaker 1: several years. Once I found out how much they cost,
26:34
Speaker 1: then I started making ripoff versions Benny the Baker, and
26:37
Speaker 1: they're they're fine, They're just as good. But yeah, that's
26:41
Speaker 1: that's insane. They just the crumble cookie person stepped up.
26:45
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
26:47
Speaker 1: Dale from Muskege and we haven't heard from him. I
26:50
Speaker 1: guess the snowplows must be back. Is that maybe? What's
26:53
Speaker 1: going on? Hello? Dale? What's going on? Dale?
26:56
Speaker 6: Hey?
26:56
Speaker 7: Ben?
26:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm out here making snowbouts. Hey, before we get
26:59
Speaker 5: into it, I just got it. I'm a little disappointed.
27:01
Speaker 5: I've been on hold for like twenty minutes and you
27:04
Speaker 5: must not know when I was on because you were
27:05
Speaker 5: talking about two imaginary characters, Brick James and Michael Boredom
27:11
Speaker 5: and center having me on that's insane, Like these got
27:15
Speaker 5: are those real people? Been?
27:16
Speaker 1: All right? So dev again, for the record, let the
27:18
Speaker 1: record show that Dale feels we should break format and
27:21
Speaker 1: not do the monologue and just go right into Dale.
27:24
Speaker 1: Do twenty minutes of Dale from Muskigan. Could you could
27:27
Speaker 1: you do twenty minutes Dale? I?
27:30
Speaker 5: Uh, probably not. Your show's great, buddy, I'm just giving
27:33
Speaker 5: you her time.
27:34
Speaker 1: How you been, Ben If I'm fine? You know, here
27:37
Speaker 1: every night, not just during snowplow season. You know that, Dale,
27:40
Speaker 1: We're here, You're around.
27:41
Speaker 5: I worked. I worked for a shift most of the
27:44
Speaker 5: most of the summer, so yeah, it's it's a weird
27:47
Speaker 5: thing in the winter. I still get bits and pieces,
27:49
Speaker 5: but I'm not like now. I'm in my truck for
27:52
Speaker 5: sixteen hours a night the last couple of days, so
27:54
Speaker 5: I have time.
27:55
Speaker 2: To sit and away.
27:57
Speaker 1: So really, what you're saying, Dale is we need a
27:59
Speaker 1: lot of snow and then and then the Muskegon area
28:02
Speaker 1: and then we're good. Then we'll have Dale every night
28:04
Speaker 1: with Dale as you drive around and clear the roads.
28:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:08
Speaker 5: I could bore people to get all lad if you
28:09
Speaker 5: wanted me to. I'm pretty good at that.
28:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, so am I I've been doing it for a
28:13
Speaker 1: long time.
28:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you guys are great.

Speaker 5: I absolutely love the show. Everything been good, guys.
28:18
Speaker 1: We're live and well, doing amazing. We're surviving in the
28:21
Speaker 1: battlefield that is talk radio.
28:23
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I just wanted to check in. Guys, say,
28:28
Speaker 5: all right, yes, one thing, what are you thinking of
28:31
Speaker 5: the backers this year? You think we're le jitter.
28:37
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced. That was a nice win against the Lions,
28:39
Speaker 1: but I'm not I'm not sold.
28:42
Speaker 5: I'm not sold either, better not. I worry about Jordan.
28:45
Speaker 5: I think he's okay, but I think his turnovers are
28:48
Speaker 5: you know, they're great, They're way down. But we'll see.
28:50
Speaker 8: We'll see that.
28:51
Speaker 3: Well.
28:51
Speaker 1: The great thing is Dale, as we've seen in years past.
28:54
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to be an amazing quarterback.
28:56
Speaker 1: We've seen some media Joe Flackel won a Super Bowl
28:59
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. All you have to do is play well
29:01
Speaker 1: for a month. You just have to have a good
29:03
Speaker 1: month and you can win a super Bowl. So that's it.
29:07
Speaker 1: He sucks, Eli said, Yeah, he's no good and he's
29:10
Speaker 1: you know, people people trying this is how dumb people are. Well,
29:13
Speaker 1: Eli Manner should be in the Hall of Fame. No,
29:15
Speaker 1: he was an average quarterback who had a couple of
29:17
Speaker 1: freak runs. That's it, you know, not a Hall of
29:19
Speaker 1: Famer anyway. All right, thank you, Dale. I gotta there's
29:22
Speaker 1: a Great Dale from Muskegan there driving a snowplow. We
29:26
Speaker 1: have seasonal callers, and he's a seasonal call We have
29:29
Speaker 1: some guys that only call during football season. Dale doesn't
29:31
Speaker 1: call during football season until it starts snowing. In Michigan.
29:34
Speaker 1: Snowplows are vital, very important. Yes, you don't appreciate a
29:38
Speaker 1: snowplow unless you have to get to work and the
29:40
Speaker 1: road is covered in the powdery stuff. You can plow
29:44
Speaker 1: it all day and plow it all night. Hey, I

Speaker 1: Old Miss players for a legend lying lying in his
34:03
Speaker 1: farewell statements he ran off to batal Rouge in that
34:07
Speaker 1: private plane. One of the Old Miss players posting on

34:16
Speaker 1: down the last couple days with Lane Kiffin, and one
34:19

Speaker 8: Wilson inactive from Monday Night Football. Ben, Do you think
39:58
Speaker 8: Wilson hangs it up at the end of the year. No, No,
40:01
Speaker 8: He's gonna go somewhere.
40:02
Speaker 1: He'll be a training camp arm somewhere, and he's going
40:05
Speaker 1: to try to continue his career. There's a supply chain
40:09
Speaker 1: shortage of quarterbacks there, so he'll someone will give him
40:13
Speaker 1: a chance to try to make a team next year's
40:16

40:19

40:28
Speaker 1: chance next I'm embarrassing.
40:29
Speaker 8: I know Brian Schottenheimer warmed the cow warmed his Cowboys
40:33
Speaker 8: players that just because we've won three games, that doesn't
40:36
Speaker 8: change anything going on To say that the team can't
40:38
Speaker 8: brow complacent as they push for a playoffs, No, no,
40:41
Speaker 8: And you think the Cowboys will find themselves in the playoffs.
40:44
Speaker 1: Well, they look good I don't want to be a
40:46
Speaker 1: prisoner of the moment. I'm still gonna go no at
40:50
Speaker 1: this point. Now I'll change my opinion this should they
40:53
Speaker 1: win the Thursday Night get but I'm not I'm not convinced.
40:56
Speaker 1: Everyone's getting all excited because they made some plays against
41:00
Speaker 1: Kansas City, which doesn't look like a playoff team right now,
41:02
Speaker 1: and the Eagles, who are having all kinds of issues.
41:04
Speaker 1: So you start peeling back those games and they're nice wins,
41:09
Speaker 1: but they don't look as nice when you look at
41:11

41:13
Speaker 1: just not a very good team this year next.

Speaker 8: said that there's a lot of promise for the future
41:24
Speaker 8: of the organization. Ben.
41:25
Speaker 1: Do you think they have the right guy at the helm? Well,
41:30
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure. Obviously, I would say this
41:32
Speaker 1: season is a complete waste, and you always sell the future.
41:35
Speaker 1: We're gonna be great if Nick Foles came out. So
41:37
Speaker 1: this guy can't coach, he blows, we suck. We're gonna
41:41
Speaker 1: suck for years. Of course, of course he's gonna say
41:44
Speaker 1: the futures. But I haven't seen evidence that we're going
41:46
Speaker 1: back direction.
41:46
