• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this on my show on my network. Of course you're not, chrisy.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: They don't get nothing like this on your network.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: As long as George and Jacob and Candy are here,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Good. Did you just see me from losing a voyage.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I got George and Candy your ear. Thanks for making
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: those introductions there. They are brought to you by Chris Pizza.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: All Right, With that said, let's get to We're gonna
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: go some easy ones tonight, though, as we lead it off,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and we'll lead it off with a baseball topic. Once
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: upon a time, the LA Dodgers were seven and oh
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: but guess what? Okay, not how master to start? That's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: where you're at now. The defending champs are currently eighty
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: four up, sixty seven down. What are your thoughts, George
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: about whether the Dodgers have what it takes to finish
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the job.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm never going to count them out. Obviously, they're
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: defending world champions, and we've talked many times about the injuries.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's been quite an interesting season and it
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: certainly has not been what most Dodger fans expected. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: you write those big checks and you're expecting win after
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: win after win. Well, it doesn't come that easy. There
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: are a lot of hungry teams out there, both leagues.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: But to answer your question, yeah, Scott, I think Dodgers
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: are going to be still very dangerous in the postseason,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: but they're not going to do it from a superiority,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: if you will, of finishing with the best record in
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: the NL. We all know Candy's team is going to
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: be that. So all this being said, Dodgers they got
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: a shot. Still not as good as they did with
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: like you said, Scott when they started seven or zero, Katie,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: you know right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Now they're in. If we ended the season today, the
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Dodgers would be in. I mean, any team that gets
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: hot now is gonna is gonna be the team to
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: be like. And it could be any one of us
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: and it and it could All it could take is
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: one injury that would you know, a predominant injury that
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: might hurt one of the teams. Obviously, you don't want
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: any injuries, especially in your pitching going into this time
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: of year because that's what really is gonna could make
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: a lot of difference, you know. I Pat Murphy recently
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: was talking and he said one word to describe his
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: team right now, and that's competitive. They're competing no matter what,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: and that they have that competitive edge about them. They're
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: not the highest payroll, they're not the flashiest names, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: they're all they're in and they're competing, and that's what's
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: important this time of year.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Jacob that I can just imagine the Bears pressers when
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they they're like, oh and seven, they'll start saying competitive also,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: but oh ridiculous. But really overall, the Dodgers, yes, they
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: can just because they they have that experience and you
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: can get hot at any time. But one of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: issues I have with it is the fact that you're
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: bringing up fans. Fans have this thought process because you
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: make money that you can't be human. These the Phillies
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: are exceptionally hot. They can easily do it, And the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: biggest thing about it is the fact you are a target.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: When you're a World Series champion. It is exceptionally tough
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to repeat and really, by itself is like down, here's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the deal. This is where I get irritated with fans
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: In about eight to ten years are going to say,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: oh my god, we made eight years of World Series
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: four World Series doing that was wonderful. Right now they're like,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: we're dead, you know, they're that and it's a pain
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in the butt to watch. It's like, but that's just
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: realty are They're a target? So yeah, they can get
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hot and they can be able to do that kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: of stuff. But the injuries come. And then here's another thing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: They don't have a bullpen, so they're going to have
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to hit a lot. So we're just gonna have to see.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And as far as Milwaukee, here's the thing about Milwaukee, Candy,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and I got to say this part. They miss a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: lot of first rounders. They miss a lot in the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: first round. The thing about it is to think that,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: mind you, they want to win the World Series. Don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: get that wrong. But all Pat Murphy has to do
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: is win a series and he will get a and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: he absolutely positivity, and he'll get great and everybody will
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: love me. He'll get extensions, he'll get everything because he
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: finally did what so many did not. So he really
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: he's playing with house money. He just needs to win one.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: As far as the Cubs, it's been too weird of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the year, I don't know.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, Chris, Listen.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: The Dodgers are the defending champs. Obviously that's number one,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: number two, so they got the pedigree, so I think
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: offensively they're going to be fine. Jacob brought up the bullpen. Absolutely,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that's been their shaky point this year because their rotation
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: is healthy now now you've got Yama motto, you got Snell,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and you got Glass now right, one, two, and three,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: and you could throw in Kershore as your number four starter.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good and he's been pretty solid coming back
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: this year. So they're definitely gonna be a problem in
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the playoffs with that starting rotation. Right now, they're lined
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: up to play the Mets, i think in the first
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: round in the wildcard round in LA, so anything could happen,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: obviously in a three game series. So but the Mets
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: aren't playing that good, so you would think the Dodgers
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: are going to move forward at least out of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: wildcard round and then who knows what's gonna happen in
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the in the in the divisional round. But with with
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: those horses in the rotation, I mean, they could they
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: could line they could match up against any team in
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the league, and we'll see if they're bullpened, settles down
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and just you know, plays or itches up to their
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: potential that they're going to be back in the World Series.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: But we'll see what happens.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Part of the reason they had that seven th started
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: they got a three game sweep with the Tigers at
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the beginning to begin with, but after that particular point, Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: give us that. Look, George, it doesn't have it. It was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: just a three game sweep at the beginning and not
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the end. But in the end, the reality is the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Dodgers know that on one hundred and sixty two game
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: season is one hundred and sixty two game season. We
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all know that one thing about baseball play the other
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: other sports is marathon, not a sprint. We'll leave it
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: at that. Lots of other topics I want to get to.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I wanted to lead off with that. We're gonna be
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: bouncing around a lot of different sports tonight as well
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: as a lot of different things, So stay with us.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: The NBA is returning to NBC in eleven year deal
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that'll have Michael Jordan on the broadcast and Carmelo Anthony,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, Mike Turco, and No Eagle among those joining
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the NBC universal as Paul. So, George, what are your
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: thoughts about this group that they have.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I'm very pleased. I really might think that NBC obviously
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: had an unbelievable run with the NBA back in the day,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: and of course Marv Albert and others were involved back then,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: but Mike Turco is so solid. I mean, Mike can
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: do any sport we've we've seen that as well as
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: anchoring sports. Noah Eagle has been around several years now.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I'm very impressed with his work. I think he's going
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: to do fine. And a lot of the other other
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: commentators and play by play guys that they're releasing names
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: of soon. But the thing is is that you know
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: they're gonna go and they're gonna show primetime games in
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the regular season. Okay, ABC did that too, I know that,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: but NBC is going to get a big boost on
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: that because NBC hosts the Olympics. Also, the NBC's got
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the NFL Sunday Night package, as we know, and you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a really great opportunity
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: for ENBC to get back into the pro basketball game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: Scott Kenny, you know, you put you threw out some
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: pretty big names that played the game that are going
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: to be on the broadcast.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: I like some of them. I like when you have
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: former players because they give insights that if you didn't
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: play the game or that you might not really know
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: or realize. So that's that's good. But I don't know
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: that I know them as broadcasters to know if they're
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: good enough that I would sit and listen to them broadcasts.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: There are there are some former players that I would
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: rather turn the radio version on on some of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: other sports that and I'm not going to even go
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: into what sports I don't like certain announcers for. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: kudos to them for, you know, for NBC getting them,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: because I mean, those are some pretty big names that
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: will help them with their viewership just by name.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Jacob Don John has to retire now. But but no,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the big thing about it, this is what I would
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: like to see people they remember the music, remember the games,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: remember all this stuff. There's a new generation that can
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: watch all of these, you know these games now they
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: have their favorites. And we got the last year of
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Lebron and I don't think any of us gonna miss
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: him on here, but still they will. But the but see,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: this is the thing I would love to see NBC
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: for their first one do a package, just like to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: try to get everybody again anticipation between NBA and CBS
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and NBA and NBC. The packages, you know, they're the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: slow packages and the slow Burn. I think that's something
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: that really needs to come back a little bit. Get
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the heart racing, you know, get all that kind of
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. It's like they're afraid to do those
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: packages that we're gonna lose people. But there's more people
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: in this generation that would really enjoy that to get
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to that moment, because right now NBA is pretty boring.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: It needs something to really get an anticipation.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Chris, Yeah, I'm with Jacob.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I really haven't followed the NBA in probably over twenty years,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and I used to love the NBA. The last time
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I probably watched it was when they were on NBC,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: And hopefully NBC can bring back some of those fans
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: that that kind of left over the over these last
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: few years.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: You know that it's because it's gotten boring and there's
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: no yet.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Obviously everybody knows Lebron, but after that, if you're a
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: casual fan, there's no more big time superstar that you're
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: watching the NBA for, Like back in the day, you
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: know when Jordan was around yet, Jordan Bird, Pippin' Magic,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, all these.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Superstars if you watch, say again, so don't forget Isaiah Thomas. Yeah, yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: that guy do.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: But yeah, no, he was a star. Yeah, no, early nineties.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah and actually, uh, the Microwave actually went to my.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: High school, so awesome. Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: But anyway, Yeah, so I think that I think the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: NBA has gotten really boring lately and and there, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I think a part of it is that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: They don't have that one superstar that people you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: can watch all the time. You know, I know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Lebron, everybody knows Lebron. But Lebron is at the end
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: of his career, right, He's got what another year maybe
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: two years at best, So I think they got to
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: get another guy that's going to be the face of
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the NBA, so people will tune in every whatever they're
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: gonna do.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You know. Now, I was waiting for George IIICRN to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: get that Isaiah Thomas. That's why I wrote this his
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: hand really certainly, really he's not on there. You he's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: not part of NBC. Yeah, to open your mouth, Jordan, right,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: there's no way he's you know, Sidne. The elevens do go
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: through computers. I don't know how, but when I in
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: fat one, I'll make sure it has your direction. You
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the man really certainly, really don't worry Christ's intended for him.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: You know what I done to the toilet load management.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Load. You're taking my jokes now, yeah, Jacob, Jacob's feeding
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: them the jokes right now.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. And you know what, you don't have to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: stand for that on that hat called ducks, not just
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: tigers because you even mentioned him in there. You check
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: them in management.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: But I do have one thing here too that when
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the first NBA and NBC happened, they had Bird, Magic
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and Michael for one of the years, and Bird and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Michael for two. You know, I mean to be able
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to and they would put him on every week and
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that that brings the that brought the ratings. Yeah, there's
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: only gonna be one more Lebron in the middle. There's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: not the same amount that gets that. And they need
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to start learning how to build stars and build anticipation
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and be able to do all this. It's like Bird
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and like I said, Bird and Magic first, and then
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Bird and Burd and Mike, Bird Magic and Michael first,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and then Burd and Michaels. This is the second and Bird.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: One of the greatest games I ever saw in the
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: NBA NBC was Bird and Michael thirty I mean one
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: had one and thirty eight one had thirty four. It
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: was in Boston one, you know, and it was in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the garden and like I said, you don't have as
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I said, and you wanted. That game is on YouTube
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: by the way. It's an amazing game. But that's the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: big thing is like, Okay, people know Lebron no, but
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: it's like, what else is there? And you have an
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: eleven year contract. You need to build stars, and anticipation
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: builds stars, and all these TV producers are too darn
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: afraid to try to build an anticipation for something. And
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you've got to realize, yeah, you're gonna you're not gonna
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: buld a build for the fifteen year old. But there's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: US forty seven, forty five, fifty forty two, forty three
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: year olds to remember all this that will still watch.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, you got a bill stars.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: But guess what the stars have to play people. They
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have to play load management. You ever head of that?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I remember watching those wiz commer ring around the call
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: or ringing around the collar. Now that's the only thing
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get out of the singing. It's on to me, tonay. Ever,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and George ought to know, it's called blue collar, blue collar,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: And if you don't have ring around the collar and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you're wearing a white shirt, it's called white collar. Get
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the message. Show up, NBA guys, otherwise nobody will frankly care. Anyways. Oh,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just getting warmed up tonight, So let's go ahead
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and stay on the broadcasting name. There'll be a lot
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of that tonight. We're going to New York people New

• 16:01
  Speaker 1: about Michael Kaye designing to cut back a little bit?
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: I'm not happy about it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, Michael Kaye has been the voice of the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yankees now for over twenty years, actually going back to
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: his radio.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Days even further.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, I'm not happy about it because I
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: would think Ryan Ruco is going to be the guy
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: that's going to replace him.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: I'm not really a fan of him. To be honest.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: For baseball, he does a lot of basketball, but yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not really happy about it. Hopefully he doesn't do
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: that too soon, because I'll tell you with him, him
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: and Girardi that they're doing the series now again with
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the twins.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: They are so great together. Girardi is awesome.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And then when Cone, when David Cohne joins the booth,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: he's awesome. But yeah, if Michael Kay is starting to
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: lessen the games, I know we cut down his radio
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: show two already his past year. He's only down to
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: a two hour show one to three. He does a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: a low show now. But yeah, not gonna be a
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: good day. Hopefully they find someone else.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I can't eve the chat room acknowledge old people since
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: all the people in there are being very very good tonight.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Joshua Doors are now pays work prompt.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I'm not gonna complain
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: about a race at all. Thanks about josh Door for
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: popping in the night, Jacob. When you're talking about Michael
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: k backing off, let me tell you this one of
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the I think we hear one of the things like
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: for ends. Let's give an example Chris Foller the other
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: night and Monday night foot right. It's like that gives
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you an example. They're getting older. They work like crazy,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they go on these red eye flights, they do all
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I said, They go on like a mad dog.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: They're getting older, like I said, getting older, and their
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: their throats are not going to be the same. It's
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: like you ever see, here's the deal. You see them
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: with a cup of it looks like a coffee cup
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: at all times. Now that's tea. Now you know they're
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: able to drink tea because they're talking all the time.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: They're having to do everything to protect themselves so darn much.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody does that. It talks multiple hours and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: they're having to do this and plus the in fact,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: you know, if they're on a airplane all the time
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: they're doing red eyes, they're gonna have colds. They're not
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: feeling good.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: And it's like, this is the thing.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: This isn't a hairy carry deal where he was eighty
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: five years old then he just like collapsed in the
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: offseason and died. This ain't that situation. It's like, this
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: isn't that situation where you know people are looking after
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: their health a lot more. Right, they're looking after their
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: health a lot more. And they're not gonna go to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Vin Scully. That's the thing that's gonna be the unfortunate
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: for all of us. We're not gonna have the Harry carry,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Vin Scully, Jack Buck, you know, Ernie Harwell, we're not
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: gonna have them anymore because they're not going to go
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that long.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: It's a lot of get paid a lot more money too, right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they can pay up more.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Way, they don't.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: They're not going to go that long. There's not It's
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: like it's like golfers. It's like I saw. I'm just
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: gonna give us an example. They were talking about the
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: top three main cut of all time and it's on
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Nicholas Michelson named the player. You're not going to see
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: forty five years out of these guys anymore. You're not
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: gonna see these records gonna stake and you're gonna see it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna see that of that and the announcers.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna see that in anywhere. Because they make
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: so much money, they're not gonna win themselves out. That's
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: probably a good thing.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: And also just to d Michael Kay has two young
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: two young children too. That's that's probably another reason why
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: he's cutting back.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I come from a fifty was fifty when I was born,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: so I come from that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So I respect that. So you know, well, I'm taking
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I've gotten to meet Michael Kay a few times. I've
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: never met a more classier person than he is. Taking
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: a few pictures of a nice guy. Yeah, I think
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: family has everything to do with lying back and off.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I flought him for doing it. We've always talked about
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: family first. Let me tell you, Michael Kay prescribes to that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I met him one of the classiest people I've ever met.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Candy go ahead, great, great comment by both. I can't
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: wait to hear the other two. And great stuff in
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the chat room from Cyberusky and Josh or keep it up.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Michael Kay is an Emmy Award winning Yankee play by
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: play announcer for the Yes Network who also hosts the
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: network's Center Stage series and its various programming specials. The
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty five season will be his thirty fourth year
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: broadcasting Yankees baseball. The first ten years were on radio,
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: the latter twenty four are on YES. He was part
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: of the Yes Yankees team that won a twenty twenty
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: four New York Emmy Award for its season long coverage,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: a twenty twenty three Emmy Award for its pregame shows.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: He's won Kay has actually won all kinds of Emmys himself.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: He is actually in New York's. In November of twenty sixteen,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: he was inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: of Fame. He was inducted into the New York State
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. He's also was awarded the
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Lugarig Sports Award by the Greater New York Chapter of
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: the alsuciation. He's received the Vincecully Award for Excellence in
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Sports Broadcasting. So he's obviously had a great career in broadcasting. Jacob,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: like you alluded to the people, the time for people,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: the for people to have one career for a long time.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: The I'm just gonna put out there the Bob Youkers
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: of the world, where he did fifty years like that
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: is that's you're not gonna see that anymore. That's just
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: that was a great career. It was awesome. But people
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: do burn out, and I think one of the things
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: that we don't that most of the general public don't
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: realize how much research these broadcasters have to do before game,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: before and after the game, and then they go to
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: the game. It's not just going to the game.
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: They're there hours before, they're there, hours after they're they're
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: on days off, have to do interviews with the players
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: and talk with the players so they get to know them,
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: so they have the stories to talk about during the
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: broadcast and stuff like that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: It's a very time consuming and very demanding job. So
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: kudos to him for the career that he's already had,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: and kudos for him to be able to step back
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: a little bit and say, you know what, I also
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: want to have time for my family and my health
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: and that's important to me too.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you got me say this too. Let me say
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: this too, Big Candy with the amount of money that's
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: around there, and in one case, I'm so happy everybody's
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: be able to get that kind of money. I would
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: love to be able to get paid like that. Chris would,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: We all would, Candy Wood, then Scott would, I mean
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: George Definitely, I'm saying we all would love to be
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: able to get that. It's but the biggest thing about
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: it is there was one thing about the old time.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: When it comes to the announcers, it was like they
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: didn't get paid all that money. They had to do
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: all that work, but there was when you don't have
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: that and stuff like that, you know, it's not there.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: There's a joy too. There's a certain level of pressure
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: when you have that kind of money now that you
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: have to it's almost like they have to perform all
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the time. Here, I'm just saying this being truthful. Harry
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Cary couldn't go get drunk like that making millions.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: He couldn't do it like that. He could not.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't allow it. There's an insurance on something like that.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Bob Yucker couldn't be off the cuff, being like he
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: was off those years and stuff like that. It's like
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: it's all the things. It's like John Madden if he
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, John madd got millions in his own way,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: but it wouldn't be from a CBS. He couldn't have
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: done that kind of thing and boom bang.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: It's like the money now makes it kind of robotic
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: where they have an expectation that you're going to do
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: things their way instead, and it's like it was more
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: fun to be able to listen to Harry just go
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: off the beating off the cuff, and anybody says you're
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: out of line, I don't care. Meanwhile, the ratings are ridiculous.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It's but it's like there's those type of things. But
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: another reason. But see, there was forty five fifty years,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: like you were saying with Yuker and all that kind
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: of stuff, there was those There's just a joy to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: doing it, even if you had to work because they
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: aren't ad the money for it. It's just plus the
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: fact that if you get drunk all the time, there'sude.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, though as we grew up, there
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: was that joy to listen to. It's like it's like
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a guy at the bar or your family member just
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to be able to get to that. It's money doesn't
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: and I love I want the money too, but it
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't make the same deal. So you're not going to
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: see them around that long.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Great stuff for both of you, guys. I enjoy watching
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the dialogue between. It means that my voice figures will
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: make it to the whole thing. Yeah, without a doubt.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: So all right, George, I know you're gonna mention Ermie
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: and her will reference and get it over with, well,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Michael K. So first and see if we could graduate there.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: It doesn't surprise me because on July third, twenty nineteen,
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: he had to undergo vocal cord surgery, keeping him out
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: of the broadcast booth from July to late August that
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: season nineteen, and the final broadcast of the Michael K.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Shaw was already done. That was on December thirteenth and
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. And the other thing, of course, which
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: is already mentioned earlier. He's got a daughter who's uh
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: a twelve and a son who's eleven years old. So yeah,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: these guys aren't getting burned out. I mean they are.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: It's a very tough lifestyle. There still are some that
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: do it and are able to do it multiple sports.
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: It's difficult, it really is. Michael's done a nice job.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know much about him. I've never met him,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: but I do admire his work.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah I have. He's one of the nicest people I've
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: ever met at New York MLB. Talking assume here it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: rob He's booth second best and based on New York.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Say what you want, but I'm telling you they're just
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: a great booth. All the way around. I think somebody
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: on this panel will disagree with you, and again, you
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: know there's a little bit of partiality across the Burroughs.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: We'll leave it at that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have to do with Frank the Tank,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: so there's that there.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I'll leave it that we defend each other in this
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: there on the show. You have the right to defend
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: your mets broadcast on Monday Night. But meanwhile, we have
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a great show tomorrow night. I should point out a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: legendary sportswriter, Bearing Bloom will be on their Broadcastrow night,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: planning to get him out at eight o'clock in Eastern
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: time to MotorCity and Mad Mouse Show. Let's continue the theme,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: all right. I never thought i'd bring this topic up,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but I have no choice. But this is fun. That's
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: why it's on here. Michelle Palma compared program used to
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: be in programming to Real Housewives. How do you like
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that one? Real house lives people? If I watch ESPN
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: for an hour, it's like watching Real Housewives in Atlanta.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It's the same drama. They're willing because they're yelling at
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: each other and they don't get along. Steven A. Smith
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: would be a great Real Housewife and Michelle Obama, says
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: his son the Matt Rogels, on watching ESPN via I'm
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a podcast. You know what, I think it's pretty interesting
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to compare USPN programming the Real house Lives. That's why
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I brought it on here because this is a really
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: different show. All Right, Ni cor We've been in the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: business for a long time. What are your thoughts about
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Michelle Obama comparing the esp to the Real Health Lives.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I know Josh o'door and Cibruski are somewhere out there
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: in La La Land listening. This is different, a little
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: bit used to what they're used to do with Real Housewives.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: When to talk about these real two guys anyways, forget
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: about them, keep you focus on the topic Real Housewives. George,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: what are your talking about Michelle's observation?
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I in select, you know, different times of the day. Yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I mean she could say that there is bickering that
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: goes on. We all know that there's arguing. Whenever you're
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: taking your stance in sports or news, whatever area you're
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: doing it in, you aren't going to have a lot
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: of back and forth. And they do have some bollatile
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: personalities over there, including Steven A. So I mean, you know,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I could see a little bit of advanced is it
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: all day long? I don't. I don't think so. I mean,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: you know, they've got their other programs or other shows,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: a little bit of bickering during live of play by play,
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: but I don't think that's what she's obviously not talking
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: about that she's going with the anchor and the commentary shows.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: I could see a little bit of it, but it's
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: far different from what we see with the Real Housewives theeries.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, the one of the reasons
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I turned off ESPN because I got sick and tired
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: of all the bickering, and when you're dealing with Alzheimer's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: disease like I am, I don't need the actually yelling.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Candy will be the first to tell you that the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: more yelling it is, the more it sets off my
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: brain headache. So you know, I'm not talking politics, I'll
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: talk about Alzheimer's. I'm talking about yelling as when I'm
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: talking about drama. That's the reason I don't watch it anymore,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: because I'm sick and tired of it, to be honest
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: with you, yelling and drama is one thing. Give it
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to me straight, give me the facts, and let's not
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: get too out of control with the volume because if
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you get out of control the volume. I don't need
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: any more medication than them on right now. My wife
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: has to go out there and go to the pharmacy
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: nine million times a week. Anyway, a real house I
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: see her A woman's point, I really do, Candy, go ahead.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of different ways we could.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Go with it exactly. That's why you're second. You don't
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: need status. It's all opinion.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: First of all, Michelle Obama, yes she is a housewife,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: but is she a real housewife? Like, let's face it,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: she's been in the spotlight. She's been in she was
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: the first light. She's not your normal typical housewife. So
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: for her to be making some of these comments and
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: she's she was never into sports that I know of,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: was she?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: And I could be wrong, but maybe basketball?
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: And I will say that stephen A. ESPN has stephen
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: A on there because he is a personality. His personality.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Part of it is the allure is the fact that
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: he can be very vul That's what they pay him for.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: That's part of that's part of who he is. That's
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: part of what attracts people to watch him, whether you
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: like it or not. That's what people are attracted to
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: and watching him and want to watch him. He's very knowledgeable.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: But Michelle, you know I would I wouldn't start commenting
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: about ESPN unless you've really watched it a lot and
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: watched a lot of sports, because yes, is it. Are
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: people opinionated our real house housewives opinion? Yes, but they're
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: opinionated about different things.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Well. The only reason I mentioned Michelle Obama basketball is
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I know President Obama used to like to play the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: game a lot and has a record for playing it,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and it's highs. That's the reason I brought it up.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: But all right, Jacob, I figured this one right up
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: your alley.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's partially right on something like that. But
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard that she liked sports.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She may have.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. If she's seen it on team
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: has no question Barack was watching it and she will
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: walk by. But but the but the biggest thing about
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: something like this is what made it. That is what
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: just think of it this way. Rich eisend last month,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: rich Eisen in that seat and there's an empty seat
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: where Stuart Scott was supposed to be got humongous ratings.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Huge.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: People are tired of the screaming and hollering again. They
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: annoy they really are. They do want to just that show.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: They do want to see that sports. They did it
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: for one night, but people want to just see that
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: that was everybody's morning. You know, you're sitting there because
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: there's no phones and they're looking at the cereal box
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and then they're listening to the sports. And it's like,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I personally don't want to go on an ESPN and
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: do it stuff. It isn't that I don't like arguing.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I want to argue my opinion all the time. I
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: get that in shows like this. I get that when
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I'm invited on places, I get that idea ESPN has
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: producers saying which area that I mean, which site need
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: to be on for this time whatsoever. You sound stupid.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you're gonna sound stupid. Sometimes you're gonna sound I
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: don't want to be scripted. And that's the whole thing.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: They do it just for the fifteen minutes the quarter hour,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and it's like that's wrong by itself, and people can
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: tell and they can see right through it. But everything
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: is a show to them, Okay, Chris.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not into the yelling shows either, so I
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: kind of skipped those. I like good discussion shows. I
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: used to love watching sports reporters. I thought that was
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: one of the better ones.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And you know what, Chris, what we're gonna do, by
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the way, is I'm glad you brought that up. So
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: let me also mention I'm doing this is the first
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: of a series of a bunch of media type of shows,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and the sports reporters will be brought in. But I'm
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: glad you brought it up. Thanks a lot for reminding me, Chris,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: to do something I was prepared to do. So thanks
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a lot. That was definitely one of my favorites. But
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: continue along, good stuff, Chris, Okay.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's the type of show I like, you know,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: like intelligent conversations, not people just yelling at each other.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Yes, stephen a is he is smart. You know, he
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: is an intelligent guy.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately he has to play this role on ESPN
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: because that's basically what they're paying him for, right, I mean,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that's why he's getting the big bucks.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Not to sit there and talk it intelligently, you know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean that's why I stick to
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: MLB Network mostly, you know, for baseball talk and football talk.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I'll stick with the NFL Network is they're normally have
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: decent conversations. They're like just the yelling and back and forth.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I just it's not it's not fun, so I skip it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: And it's probably not getting good ratings either.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we're gonna be talking a lot
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: more about steven A. Smith throughout the show later on.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure we get some of these
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: other things out there right away so we can spend
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: more time on steven A. Smith. There's a lot to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: bite off on him, for sure. So what we're gonna do,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about one more thing. We'll go to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: pund and fund it, go to the station brink. That's
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the order that we're gonna have. The Oakland Coliseum is
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: gonna hold nine Major League cricket matches.
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: At Tony Fine. People are going to use the building. Yeah, craking,
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: major link cracking, open calla Sam. What are your thought,
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: mister Bathball? The open coliseum?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Is it demolish? Yeah?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: May as well use it for something, right, And I'm
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll get a bigger crowd than than the
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: a's we're getting in that thing.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, you're not worry.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I know you.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: It'll it'll get better. Yeah, it'll at least it's being
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: in you. So I'm happy about that.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So you better transition over to him before you
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: say he steals anymore. Don't worry the rat.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Well, the rats that are in that coliseum might be
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: able to be used for pitt runners. So it's like, but, but,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: but the big but, the big thing about something like
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: this is the fact that they had to do it
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: for something. And it's always when you see something like that,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: it's always going to be something niche like that because
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: you want to show that. It's because remember the whole
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: idea of the place was it was falling apart there.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: If it's falling apart, it's not gonna be used for football,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna be use for anything or even the volleyball.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: They're going to be find something in niche. Oh see, look,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: then they can get something later.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: The Oakland Coliseum is set to be redeveloped by the
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: African American Sports and Entertainment Group, which has purchased the
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: site from the A's and the City of Oakland. The
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: five billion dollar development will include housing, a convention center,
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: entertainment venues, and retail, transforming the area into a mixed
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: used district. The historic Oakland Arena will remain, while the
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Colosseum itself will be demolished to make way for the
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: new project. But in the meantime, hey, kudos to them
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: for finding a way to use you know, you hate
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: to see buildings, stadiums, whatever, empty and vacant and just
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: sitting there not being used. So kudos for them to
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: find something, some way to use them in the mean time.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: George, Yeah, it sounds a little bit far fetched of
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: an idea, but they got to do something with the facility.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: And uh, my own choice was greyhound racing. You know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: they could have the dogs out there and do a
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: greyhound track inside there.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: You got the dogs, greyhound. I think greyhound train where
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you're at. But I think horse racing isn't. Uh what
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: happened to Northfield Downs, what happened to Hazel Park. I
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: think they're gong gone right well greyhound so its greyhound,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: So I think you better remember what state you're in.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Other than confusion, sick the man.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Well, the greyhound raceing, I did not know it's gone
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: for the whole country. I mean, it hasn't.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Florida anyway, So our our old greyhound track, the Hollywood
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Greyhound Track. I think they're using it for a casino
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: down there. I don't know if they're using the hounds
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and get me into a greyhound truck story because I'll
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: go to al Paso and war Is to give it
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: to you. But go ahead, continue, but your own greyhound ideas.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: There's other ideas. Yeah, you could do a lot of
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: other things. You could turn it into a stadium for
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: you know, for the college high schools. Uh, turn it
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: over to the high school district that there are several
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: districts in the Oakland area for use with football and baseball.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, other than that, No, the building itself, the
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: stadium itself, I don't think it's worth saving. I mean,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: and you're not gonna put that kind of money in
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: it anyways to improve it. So they got to do
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: something with it until the good old wrecking ball comes. Yeah.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I think cricket's not bad. I'm the problem with the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: United States and none of us understand what the game is,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: but it building is so I've been to that building
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: for it definitely wide enough to hold a cricket stadium.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: They've got a local cricket stadium here in Candy somewhere
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: in Plantation. I've seen that place, never been inside the plate.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess if there's roof for a sport
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that needs a lot of land on the field, that's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: as good a place as any Alitis are using it.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: It's gonna Ponte Silver, Noma and all these other stadiums
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that went without any use. At least they're using the oak.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I see them go ahead. Who else? One time?
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: I'm saying that they're gonna get huge crowds for cricket.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: There's no cricket. Short people. Hey, I'm looking to build
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: a cricket audience. We did corn hole on this cricket.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Anybody uh speak English and does cricket? I don't know
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: what kind of a language of that. That's how ignorantcuse
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: no cricket.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Going on in Florida. There's no cricket going on in
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: South Florida.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I have no ideacket cricket is. Cricket is basically Indian
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Pakistan as far as the rivalry. So yeah, they'll be
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: speaking English.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Is that what that is? I don't know. Yes, news
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: for me, I don't know. I'm not knocking you people,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: they know. I'm just saying at least I'm glad they're
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: using the Oakland Tallista or or something. Nobody does a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: better job with their local facilities in Atlanta than refurbishing
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: them and making them good. And that'll be for another time.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: We've talked about that before. What they've done. They took
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the old Brave Stadium and turned it into a great
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: venue for Georgia State football. And they're using no buildings.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Every now and then when they have to tear one down,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I get it, but they don't tear around all the time.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: But with that said, I'm going to transition over to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: pundit pun it and turn it over to Jacob. Go ahead,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: and Jacob nobody's thunder on this one.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: One of the things. Also, Chris has seen me go
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: through this quite a bit this week, the whole debate
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: over Jalen Hurts. He's seen plenty of that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: And this is the thing.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: One of the Goofy fans and I love to call
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: him Goofy. There's that or dork or the loser, or
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: however many other words I got for him. They'll say, well,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: he's just a he's just a glorified coach on the field. Well,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: he's just handing off the saquon. Okay, all right, moron.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Let's see here exactly. Yeah, okay, moron, let me see
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: here when they're going, when they're going under the center
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: and they're going sixty two thirty four whatever and everything
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: like that, and then there is leaning over to the
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: gext guy over to watch the shift. Guess what they did?
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Someone this see to see someone. Oh, there might be
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: a there might be an audible from the linebacker, catch
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: it whatever, you know what I mean. That's what a
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: quarterback does. The stats are about two percent of it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: The stats are for the nerds.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Mind you.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Stats are icing. They're great icing. We none of us
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: have ever wanted a birthday cake that's just sponge.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: None of us have. We all want the icing.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So we're all going to be impressed at four hundred
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: and fifty yards and five touchdowns or or four touchdowns.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: That was actually Russell Wilson last week, four fifty seven
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: or something. He also lost. He also lost, And that's
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the point of everything. The point of everything is to win,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: no questions asked. And this is the thing that we've
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: gotten with this problem with And I love fantasy. I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: play fantasy, and I mean there's something fantasy that drives
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: me nuts. Still, it's like the amount of people that
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: will threaten somebody if their team went bad or their
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: player went down or whatever. I mean, those are losers,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: but those are losers. But the big thing I have
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: to say with something like this is the fact that
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: they need to understand. I mean, everybody knows how much
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I love Caleb, but the thing is his stats are
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: high and they doesn't win at all, twelve out of
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: the last thirteen losses. It's this is a team sport.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: It's what this thing should be. What Jalen Hurts is
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: doing is leading a team. He's the one that he's
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: the one that sees the signals, He's the one that
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: sees everything. I dare every fan this is the final
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: part of this. I dare every Eagles fan to say, oh,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts will get hurt and then will put somebody
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: else and will be the same.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I dare them.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I dare them to throw just second or third stringer
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Tanner McKee, I dare them go okay, go home. And
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: like when I say hypothetical on New Orleans with a
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Tanner McKee, I promise they'll lose in the last second.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: They don't.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, yeah, they'll start off seven to
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: nothing and then they'll be like, oh see, and then
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, seventeen fourteen at the end, they're
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: going wonder what the heck happened? And that's the point.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Then they're gonna be Then they'll lose six in a row.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what their stats are. It's about wins. It's
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: about leading the team. Did you put a Tanner McKee
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: out there? Just as a hypothetical? Sa Quano gets smothered Now,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: no matter how good he is, this isn't the Walter
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Payton world anymore.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Great Stop all right time fir Stakes a break.

  Speaker 5: associate it with football. But honestly, if you think about it,
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: Bob slutters, it's really affected that their sport, and he
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: is trying to raise money. He's got to go fundme.

• 44:32
  Speaker 5: help CTE victims and so he's trying to provide that

• 44:44
  Speaker 5: tune in next week Wednesday, eight pm Eastern Time.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, Candy, one thing you said with that is people
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: with some people just in the Rando class, random and everything,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: they would laugh at that idea. People forget that Bob
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Sled tips over and all their heads bang. The first
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: thing that bangs is their head, but.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: The Jacob it doesn't even And we think about if
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: you actually think about it, it's not just tipping over,
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: it's anytime they're going into a curve because they're already
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: moving at such force that we don't even think that
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: their head, even inside their helmet, is moving. And so yeah,
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: like I said, Goat, you have to watch the program
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: because we want to really have him tell his story
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: because there's a lot more to the story that I'm
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: not going to divulge that. It's a really interesting story,
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: so go check it out.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Well, let me just point this programming, No Doubt, No
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Limits will be the show that precedes the Sports Exchange
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: going forward, so this will be a perfect lead in
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: to the Sports Exchange on this This will be a
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: continuous topic until we run out of things to talk about.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: This is something I gave a lot of thought to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm always looking to the Tim Gage would say,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: be industrious and this is of those moves where you
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: have to be a gunslinger, and I really am excited
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: about this. Also, Candy, I got a great job. And
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the chat talk about the legality of greyhound racing, so
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I hope you have a chance put it up there
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: real quick, Candy. Then we're gonna go to our first
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: nonsports topic of the night. So leave other states.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: In addition to West Virginia, live greyhound racing is still legal,
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: though not currently practiced, in the states of Alabama, Texas, Kansas, Iowa,
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: and Wisconsin.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: They have too many corn fields to be able to
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: do greyhounds racis.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, we'll take it through, all right, not fourth topic,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, Chris Bill. Wait for the first one, Oh
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: my god, sure that he's coming from Well, this one
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: coming from Japan, Chris and everybody else the world. Lard
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and floating air report in Japan has sunk over twelve meters.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: It could be underwater by twenty fifty six. People. Kanti
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: International Airport is famously built on an artificial island in
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: those stock don't beay, but it's been seeking since it
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: opens in nineteen ninety four. All right, Chris, what do
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: you think about the world's largest bloating airport? Man? You
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: look at why over there? You know what if it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: If it sinks in twenty fifty whatever, It's lasted sixty years,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: so I think that's a pretty good deal.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: I think it lasted, right, You gotta look at it
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: that way.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Well, what do we have?
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: We got nothing. Our infrastructure in America stinks. I'm sure
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: Jacob would appreciate that. It stinks here. The infrastructure is horrible.
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: We could use a little bit of Japanese you know,
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: engineering over here.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Well, don't worry, you'll get plenty of it on future
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: nonsports subject. But I thought this one made the most
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: sense tonight. All right, you segued over to Jacob. We'll
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: turn it over to Jacob.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Well, if nothing else, remember those planes that land in
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: the water. You had plenty of those instead of the
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: regular planes, so they wouldn't have wheels anymore. But the
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: or here's nothing else. You could have all kinds of
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Gertrude utterlyes and to just swim all the weights ashore,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: you know, and stuff like that, if they wanted to
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: do something like that over there. But on the one
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: of the things is you brought this something to Chris.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: You brought this up though it's affected. Yeah, things kind
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: of stink. And this is what I'm going to say, Chris,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: I want to see. I mean, forget the whole thing
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: in the politics for a second. Here you're in New York, okay, yep.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Remember the whole thing with La and the bullet train
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: and there took money away and all that stuff we
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: heard the news and everything. Yeah, if President wanted to
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: really be a troll, he could just go himself and
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: do what he did with his ice skating rink back
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: in eighty four, build it himself if he really wanted
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: to trol. But that's where vengeance and stupidity come into play,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: because we need things like that in this world. It's
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: like we didn't need the slow downs and all that
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: stuff just bringing that part up. We didn't need that.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: But we do need those kind of trains. So if
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: you're a builder, go build it. That's all I'm saying. So,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: but we need infrastructures like that, just like you were
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: saying with Japan.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, Kenny.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: So as I'm reading about this, this floating airport on
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: an artificial island that is sinking due to the natural
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: compression of the soft clay seabed it's built on. Since
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: it's opening in nineteen ninety four, the airport has sunk significantly,
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: and although engineering efforts have slowed the sinking rate and
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: efforts are underway to manage it, experts worn parts of
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: the airport could be below sea level by twenty fifty
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: six if the trend continues. It talks about, I mean,
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: I'm just I'm amazed. It was a twenty buil dollar
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: floating airport. In nineteen ninety one. The terminal construction commenced
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: to compensate for the sinking of the island. Adjustable columns
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: were designed to support the terminal building. They are extended
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: by inserting thick metal plates at their bases, but it's
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: it says that it's lowered by twelve point six feet
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: since nineteen ninety four, so the landfill began. I mean,
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: I'm just thinking if we built an airport over here
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: on a landfill or something. I mean, but my question
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: to you is, we've seen where cars now will drive us.
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: Do we really think there's going to be a need
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: for the airplanes or is there going to be by
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: twenty fifty six some kind of How should I put it,
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: Let's le Jetson's mobile that'll take us that we won't
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: even need airplanes and then we won't even worry about this.
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I just like to look on your face when I
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: come up with this stuff, because you're perplexed every time,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and you just want their own. My gosh, that's good
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: enough for me. Sometimes body language means it all. So
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: let's say icon get top egg. I love it when
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I come up with these things. I read them so
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I don't have to comment them if they were That's
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: why I put them on the show. But it's the
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: other people, the reactions in the room that have me
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: and curious week in and week out. Oh my gosh,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: And go ahead, Ichor, I'll give you the last word
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: about the floating airport.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: Well, I never heard of this idea before. I mean,
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: it's very very unusual. The Japanese are very crafty, they're
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: very good at engineering, just like the Chinese are and
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: the Taiwanese people. A lot of great, great thought goes
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: into these things in Asia, you know. I mean, you'd
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: be probably willing to try anything as long as it's
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: not human life at stake here or anything like that
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: when you try something different. But I really think that
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: this is very very unique, and it really is something
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: that you have to really have to see it to
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: believe it. I guess as saying would go, but I
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: would really have to take a look and see it though.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: But it's it's crazy, man, and I it's a it's
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: a weird one, Scott. You really picked out a good one, though.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: This is very unusual. And I don't like autonomous cars either,
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: so that's another subject for another day.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: We'll go to Google and work Instagram, Hordor, and you'll
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: see it. Sick them. Okay.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Twenty five point nine million passengers went through that airport
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: last year alone. Really, it is the third busiest airport
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: in Japan.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: How me swim there? No, don't give her nont con time.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: You don't even give her more time to come up
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: with it, because I know she will. Okay, she will,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: She's Jacob.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: If you're twenty two thousand, just slam their last year.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if you inside her the research, you'll be
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: past your bedtime. You promise me, old show. Don't go there,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: but I'll tell you where we are going to go.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: We're going to Iceland because it's the only country in
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the world that doesn't have any mosquitos. George, what do
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you think of Iceland not having any mosquitoes?
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. Those little buggers always
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: come out during the summertime in Michigan and elsewhere. As
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: we know, that is a pretty cool thing. Not to
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: have any mosquitoes bothering you as a country. That's amazing,
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: and I really am for it all the way. I
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: don't like them. I never have liked them, but then again,
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: people will tell you otherwise that, well, it's part of nature,
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: and the mosquito helps with something else, maybe it helps
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: the depopulation whatever, But no, I'd rather have that no mosquitoes.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Sign me up, Sign me up to Iceland for that.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Well, no, we w to fly you up. Fine, then
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: you won't be able to go to any of your
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: sports eventsure, Polish Hall of Fame, every other But it'll
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: be all right. Should move there, I'll tell you I
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: love it up there just is my new favorite place
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I've ever been to, not the squato little featable thing.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Candy, you were there. We didn't see any.
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: We didn't, I mean, Iceland doesn't have them, and it's
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: because it's harsh, cold and unpredictable climate marked by frequent
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: freeze thaw cycles prevents the insects life cycle from completing,
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: even though there are plenty of suitable water sources for breeding.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: But they have other Let's face it, every place that
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: you go has positives and minuses, you know. Some places
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: have snakes, some places have different kind of spiders, like
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: some places have hurricanes, some places have tornadoes. Some places.
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: You're gonna have good and bad no matter where you are.
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: But the fact that you don't have mosquitos, and you
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: don't have disease carrying mosquitoes as well, makes it a
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: good place to live if you want to be in
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: a place that gets cold. A great part of the year.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: If you want serenity, you don't care for it. Sport
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: good Iceland, all right, make god, what do you think?
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Well, if you have an entrepreneurial spirit, the first mosquitos
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: to decide to migrate in there, you go get them coats,
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Make them tiny little coats. You know they can be
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: able to survive the cycles and then wait till the
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: summer hits. But no, I think it'd be great because
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: personally I live in Hotlantis, so yeah, we get mosquitoes
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: all the time. You know, it's it's just a pain
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: in the butt. It's like and here's the thing, some
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: people get sick from mosquitoes. People just have that part,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: so that that becomes a tough thing. Also, so how
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: vicious are they going to get over the.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Years when the green wore find the topics in here?
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I hate them. Everybody out there on chat wherever, tell
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: me what you think of mosquitos. They will have a
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: full question. How many people really like them? Guaranteed they'll
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: be easy too. All right, go ahead, Chris, I.
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: Don't think anybody likes mosquitos.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: So yeah, if you tell I mean as a place
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: that's that there's no mosquitos.
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm I'm down to move the Why not? Well,
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: what's the time difference in Uh? In Iceland?
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Four or five hours?
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: It's only like it's less than London because it's closer,
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: So it's like four hours maybe four hours.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's not bad. We could do we can
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Fly over there, you can live over there, you could
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: get you know, you could probably stream games.
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: Come on, we could still do this show from Iceland.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't mind do it. Hey, didn't they once
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: have a chess tournament out there? I think many years ago?
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Good, yeah, there you go. I know my chest back there.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: We won't get into that, but all right, but I'll
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: tell you what we are going to get into his
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: mine town, man. That's We'll let George Drayncorn do that
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: because that's one of the good things he's good about
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: is my town, because he talks a lot about just kidding.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I like, I haven't seen I corn. I like to
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: bust the shops once a while, giving Chris the knight
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: off and get the chop busted. But no, all seriously, George,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: my town. What's going on in Detroit?
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: Well, Uh, everybody's excited as the Lions bounced back with
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: a tremendous went over to the Chicago Bears the other day.
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, people were really excited about that and how
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: rude Ben Johnson was when Jared Goff tried to go
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: after in a friendly way to shake his hand after
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: the game, and the Bears coach just pretty much blew
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Golf off. He shook hands with Campbell, but he kind
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: of blew Jared off. But that's okay. There's a lot
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: of bad blood. The fans were very very rude. They
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: were doing a vulgar chant aimed at Johnson during the game.
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: I did not like that at all, and it's just
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: something that really you could do without. I don't really
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: particularly care for it. Detroit's going to have an unbelievable
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: test the course next Monday against the Baltimore Ravens in Maryland.
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: As far as the Tigers go, just briefly, they you know,
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: they were really struggling again. I don't know what's wrong.
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: This team seems to want to lose two out of
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: three more often than they were winning those series, as
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: you know, which was a constant and got them into
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: that position that they're in. But my guy to Cleveland
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: is not only what four and a half games. I
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: believe out with today's win, this race is not over.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, don't count your chickens before they're hatch the
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: old saying. If you're a Tiger fan, that's it for me.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: I'll just stay to those two right now. Thanks guy.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: All Right, Candy, go ahead.
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: So the Packers, obviously they have started out pretty good
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: to the season. They did re sign wide receiver Christian Watson,
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: who is currently injured, and I think, honestly, I think
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: that was a really good mood. Yes, he's been injury prone,
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: I will give you that, but it really allows him
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: the time to recover and really not rush back thinking
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: that he needs to prove himself this year in order
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: to get a new contract. So there's something to be
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: said about that. I like the excitement that the defense
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: is playing with. Whether you're a fan of Micah Parsons
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: or not, whether you can that was a good move
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: for Green Bay or not, they're playing with excitement. They're playing.
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: They're young, they go in. They not this week they play.
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: I believe it's it's Cleveland this week. So the Brewers,
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: on the other hand, they're doing doing pretty well right now.
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: They are they won today again against the Angels. They
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: have clinched a playoff spot. Uh, they're they're playing. They're
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: on house money. I mean, they got nothing to lose
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: like that. No one projected them to be where they are.
• 59:38
  Speaker 5: Uh so they have nothing but upside. No one expected
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: them to do anything, So I hope they go show
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: it prove everybody wrong.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Uh, let's see.
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: I'm hoping that the Badgers will bounce back. They did
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: not farewell with Alabama last week. U it seems, and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know why, but it seems the last two years,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: the starting quarterback in the first game of the season
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: goes down with injury, and the same thing happened this year.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: And anytime a school that is not as elite as
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: some of the top tier schools, they don't have the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: same second tier quarterback and it's just not the same.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: So hopefully they'll be able to bounce back. That's pretty
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: much what's happening in my town.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, Jacob, Well, just to say this, Candy, they can.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: They had all the news all week long, but no question,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Dan Campbell saw Caleb Williams and just notched a w
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: up there already. By the week they just went to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: the rest. But I mean, I mean, that's exactly what
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: exactly what Dallas is gonna do. That's exactly what everybody's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: gonna do.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: And so he is out.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: But there's not a good than my town part Atlanta.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: They looked good against Minnesota, they looked from this is
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: against Minnesota. It's like, really overall, Pennix and Beijon might
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: be an absolute stack together. Especially the thing is Pennix
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: is more of a pocket quarterback, but he can be
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: able to run the ball. He needs to himself and
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: if he stays healthy, they're going to get dangerous very fast.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: And one thing to forget if he's not healthy, they
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: that is a division that's always eight nine ten wins
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: will win the division. That's always. They just beat each
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: other up all the time. So even if it's not
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: like it's Eastern stick as your backup, it's Kirk Cousins.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: So if he stays healthy, he gets everything they can.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Kind of got to remember Penis is not a you
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: don't do an RPO with Pennix. He's a pocket quarterback
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: too that can run a little bit, so you could
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: just swipe, you can slip Cousins in. If Penks gets hurt,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: so they look pretty good right now. And even though
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: he's a very expensive backup, and you never know if
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: you trade Cousins because because they but at the same time,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: do they want the contract Either way, I think they're
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: in better shape they would be if they had the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Eastern Stick and Pegs got hurt. So Atlanta might have
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: a really good year this year.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, Chrish, Yeah, I agree, Jacob.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: I like Atlanta this year. Yeah with us, I mean
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: New York football stinks already after two weeks, both teams
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: zero and two and both teams going nowhere this year.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: So it's going to be up to the Yankees, not
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: really the Mets.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think the Mets are going to do much
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, even if they make it, but just
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: hoping the Yankees bullpen can just settle down, if they
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: could just settle into their roles, Like bed NAR's already
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: the ninth inning guy.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 6: He looks like he's the closer.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: But the rest of the bullpen has got a straighten out,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: and if they do, I think they got a great
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: shot to get back to the World Series again this year.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: So that's what New York fans are going to be
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: looking forward to. I mean other than you know, the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Knicks will be starting soon and Rangers and Islanders.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 6: So it's really about it going on in New York?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: All right? What's going on in my town? Number one?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Earlier this spring, the Miami Dolphins were unwilling to take
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: on any of Jalen Ramsey's guaranteed money to facilitate the trade.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Guess what. They eventually sent him to the Pittsburgh the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Steelers for Minca Pasatic for Mika. He used to come
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: down and play for the old lowly Dolphins, but he
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: was a huge factor, and the Steelers went over the
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: New York Jets with that said, more power than Jalen
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Ramsey and Mika Fitzpatrick here in for a rebuild, and
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: I can only hope that you can sell with that
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: thing that they had there called the dumpster fire. What
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: else is going on in my town? Well? The stage
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: is set Saturday night, Miami Hurricanes host to Florida Gators.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: It should be an interesting contest. Candy and I will
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: be there to provide coverage nationally as well as locally.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: So enjoy your win and joy win win. The Florida's
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: not beating them, yeah, no, Florida Gators right now are
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: in a heap of trouble. And I'll say what, it's
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: gonna get any easier. But the Miami Hurricanes are looking
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: pretty good under Carson Beck. Mario Crysto bal Is done
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: a good job. They have a lot of good players,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: and they certainly did ran rousshot over my Holma Monter
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: use your South Florida on Saturday forty nine to twelve.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: But that's the side of the point. The Canes are
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: looking good. The Dolphins are looking bad. But the one
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: thing they have in common is they play at hard
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Rock Stadium. All right, Next non sports topic of the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: night is this. Once we talked about homes stadiums, we're
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about homes. Walmart is selling tiny home for
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: sixteen thousand dollars nineteen my twenty feet bathroom, living room, bedroom, kitchen.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: How long can you live in a tiny home, Cris?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I could.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: I could probably live in a tiny home. That shouldn't
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: be too bad.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: I see listen, Amazon is selling houses now too, those
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: those kind of homes.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: So I think Walmart is smart for doing this. Why not, right,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: I'd be all for it.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: Ill's good?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: What about you, Jacob trying to take trying to take
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: the people from Ikea. I mean, it's understood, and Amazon
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: trying to be able to do the same thing.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: That's the big thing. When I mean, I if Sam
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Walton was around, he was doing it, I would trust it.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: It's like they sell everything and most of it's crap
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: at Walmart. Between clothes and food and all that stuff,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: it's crap. And the biggest thing about it is, in fact,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: if I want a really nice home, I'm going to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: go to Ikea. If I would do that, I want
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: to go to Ikea. That's just being very honest. They're
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: the one that started it all in the first place. Walmart.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: I go there maybe twice every two years. It's just
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: it's junk. Now, it's unfortunate, but it's junk.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: So are you telling me that you'll live in one?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Well, see, I would open the door and fall apart.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Would be kind of like a Charlie Chaplin movie, you know,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: he just fall apart all around me. Man I slammed
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: the door.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't think so. Well, yeah, I
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: don't know if a tiny home would fits your personality.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: But one of the things I'm looking to get done
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: for you down the road here on live areas. I'm
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: gonna get you on the show with the young actress
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: by the name of Rachel Delvan. I'm gonna work. Yeah,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: I'll do that. We'll have to figure out the time
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: to do it. Rachel do to come on pretty soonable
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: that log jam a program when we have coming up.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. But that hasn't left the back of my mind.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: You'll definitely get some benefit. All right, Candy, What do
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: you think about tiny Holmes?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: I think tiny Holmes is a great concept.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: Especially for a lot of people that can't afford big,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: big houses, A lot of the homeless people. I would
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: love to see them, some of the veterans you know
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: that can't afford a lot or choose not to. You know,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: we we've become a society of I need, I need,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: I want, I want, I want, I want more and
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: I want more and I want more. And it's and
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: what happens when I hate to say this, but what
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: happens when you pass away? You have all this stuff
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: and someone else has got to do with all your junk, Like,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: do you need the big houses?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Do you you know?
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: Could I live in a small house. Absolutely, do I
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: want to buy it from Walmart? Not necessarily good for you.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Well, George, I guess that leaves you well. I went
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: from we went from Iceland to tiny holes. I'll bet
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: you never thought you'd see that.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: When we don't What about tiny homes in Iceland?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: What about not.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: With mosquitos?
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: With Candy, I thought that also is the homeless. Let's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: get the homeless off the streets in our major cities.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: Let's get them. Let's buy some of those tiny homes,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: and let's get the people there off of those freezing overpasses,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: underpass laying out there in the in the raw cold
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: or in the heat of the summer. We could try,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: we could try some of those tiny homes. Me personally,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: I probably would not like it because I got too
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: much of that stuff that Candy talks about.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: With that, I'd have to give all my memorabilia right
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: over to Scott. I don't know where he's gonna put it. Okay, Okay,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: Candy will do it for you. Get the garbage dumpster out.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if I'm forced to answer that question,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I want to say, I'll say about it is if
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: you put me on some land and is an opportunity
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: to chill out on some land. I guess I can
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: handle one of them out there, a bed out in
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: the middle of the land where it's all peace, all
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: that straight. I've already fallen in love with Iceland. And
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: when I start traveling more and more international to the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: other places that I enjoy, oh my goodness, life. As
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: I start to back away and scale back, take the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Michael kay vergon, Okay, oh my goodness, international, baby, make
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: your own kind amusic.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: They're gonna win a Grammy for that eventually, if you
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: do it enough.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm telling you, I'm working on that. But I've
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: been about like it. Michael kay You know, he has
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: his voice issues. I have mine too, you know, made
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: your own kind of news. Yeah, I can live in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: a tiny homeless on some land. It's all good. So
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about our feature Top of the Night,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Top four broadcasters, and here's what we're going to talk about.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: How Stephen A. Smith five year, one hundred plus million
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: dollar deal with the SBA compares to other broadcasters. I'll
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: break I'll break down particular Tom Brady thirty seven point
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: five million per year, Ferald Barkley twenty one million per year.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Leevin A. Smith had twenty million per year. He's number three,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman at eighteen million per year, Tony Romo believe that,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: get this as eighteen million per year, US at number five,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee's seventeen million, and he had Shaqil O'Neil. Oh
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: my goodness this listen, I look at it again. Fifteen
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: million per year and Joe Buck fifteen million. Joe Buck
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: is Candy's favorite announcer by the way, Now she just looked,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to admit it, but so you know what,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start off with Candy. You know, said Joe
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Buck is her all time favorite candy. What do you
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: think of Steven A. Smith? And how does the bear
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: was all the this group? And tell him how much
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: you love Joe Buck?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: I love Joe Who wouldn't.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of people.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's some tied here. She need to see this curveballentleman,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: go on, Candy swing and hit it.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: Okay, Bin hit it. But like I said before, stephen
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 5: A gets paid for his personality. He drove ratings up
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 5: for ESPN when people did other people didn't. Some people
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 5: love like Christmas, saying earlier in the program, he loves
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 5: a very like a sports reporter type show where they're
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 5: talking and discussing things. Well, the other flip side, some
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 5: people really like an animated, loud, opinionated person. And so
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: do I think he is worth that kind of money?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not, But he entertains. And let's face it, there's
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: actors that get paid how much for movies, there's athletes
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: that get paid how much for and it's a business,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: but it's an entertainment business because it's entertaining us. They're
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: playing a game and they're getting paid lots of money.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: So do I think he's getting paid way too much? Absolutely?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: I think most of them are getting paid way too much,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: but to their benefit. Hey, when you earn it, and
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: you earn the contract someone's willing to pay you, go
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: out and make as much as you can because you
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: don't know how long you're gonna be able to be
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: in that position. And in that role, let's face it,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: ESPN has cleaned house how many different times, so you
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: never know how long he's gonna still be there. So
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: go get the money that you can get if someone's
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: willing to pay you for it. I'm not the one
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: that's paying paying it.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: So go earn it, George.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I you know, it's mind boggling, it really is.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: I mean Tom Brady, you know, of course, was the
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: greatest the goat. And you know, what does Fox do
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: is go out there, like you said, and give him
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: ten years, three hundred and seventy five million dollars unbelievable.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: I not that I don't like him, but I just
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: think that he's going to need a little bit more
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: time to develop. And of course we all know about
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: his connection now with the Raiders. The other thing is
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: that when you talk about guys, you know, you think
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: about the names that you mentioned, Scott, A lot of
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: them are the analytical types. They're the analysts, they're the commentators.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: Joe Buck and I know al Michaels must be up
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: there too somewhere. Those are the kind of guys that
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: I grew up with as far as the play by
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: play goes. But it's interesting just to note that, you know,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: it's the analysts now or commentators if you will, that
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: are making more. And I'm not holding anything back. I mean,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: if somebody's out there willing to pay Tom Brady or
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: Steven A or whomever you know, that kind of money,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: All the more power to them. I mean, I don't
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: necessarily agree that they all deserve what they're getting, but
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: the fact is is that they are. They're highly paid
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: because they do something. They bring ratings and they bring
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: the numbers that that particular network or sport needs. So
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: all the more power to them, I say. As far
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: as getting that kind of load of money, Jacob, Yeah.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing. I can't say anything about
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: this because I would love to be able to be
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: a pundit to get you, but I just won't ever
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: be with ESPN, you know what I mean. I would
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: love to do, they'd they'd be too afraid of me.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: So kidding this topic, this topic was ideally suited for you, Jacob, Yeah,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: I think about these topics real thick a lot, especially
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: when you're on these shows.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have two places that's gonna ever call
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: me in life, and I doubt they'll do it. We'd
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: be outkicking. It'd be like a daily wire. Other than that,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: and there's gonna be nobody. So there's gonna be no one.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: So most likely I'm gonna be building my own empire.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, I don't mind. I don't mind
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: it by itself because money is just such a different way,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: and you're making it a billion different ways now. It's
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: like podcasting. You go and podcasts along with everything. As
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: far as see, the only one that's not doing that
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: is Tom Brady with Tom Brady Owns that has the
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: ownership of the Raiders.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: So there's that.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: But everybody else that's doing any kind whatsoever, whether it's
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Greg Olsen, whether it's any of those we brought up
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: an own Eagle, any of them are gonna have podcasts
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: of some type, right, and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: There's that money whatsoever. There's it's just like like in
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: the old wrestling days, you did the announcing just like
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: on the shows and did it all that kind of stuff.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: Now you've got TV, now you've got again podcasting. Now
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: you've got a billion different ways of getting information out there.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: That's why there's the extra and if people are listening,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: and remember it's not viewers, it's not Nielsen, it's hits,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: And that's where the thing is going with It's like
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: they talked about and a little thing that comes with it.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: I was putting this vote quote on the poster on
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: Facebook the other day. It's not just like like I said,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: it's not Nielsen. They talked about how many hits like
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: some of the Netflix or all the streaming networks get
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: number eighteen of all time. I'm twenty twenty five right now.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: It's gun smoke after all these years.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, there's gun smoke still after it's seventy
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: started seventy years.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Ago, So it's not.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: It's so guess what. It's not Nielsen.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: RADI is not anything.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: So you have more of an opportunity to make that
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: kind of money because you're gonna see people if some
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: if one of us ever got one billion views, we're
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: set for life.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: So there's that part right there.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Because this is the way they pay, all right, Chris,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: he gave you a lot to work with their.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, you can't blame them for taking the money,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 6: right like Brady, you can't.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: You can't blame the guy for taking three hundred and
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: seventy five million dollars from somebody.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: Is he the best?
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: I think he's gotten better since he first started. He's
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: definitely gotten better. I thought I thought Greg Olsen was
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: the better the better guy. I thought he should have
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: been on that number one team on Fox, but you know,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: he got kind of demoted once Brady got there.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: Don't I don't watch.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: The thing is, I don't get why they get paid
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: so much, because I don't watch a game to hear anybody,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: you know, to hear a certain announcer, you know, like
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: whoever's there. Like, I'm not going to turn a game
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: off or turn a game on because of course of
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: the announcer, right, I mean, if I want to watch
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: a game, I'm watching a game, whether it's those two
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: guys or two of us talking about it, right, because
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: I'm there to watch the game.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 6: So I'm amazed a how much these guys get paid.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: Joe Ross, he is what he is?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, that's right. How old are How old are you?
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: Did you say? I'm sorry?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: Fifty three?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like I'm forty seven.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: So we can say this.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Like, for instance, if you go
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: there's a pile of old PGA tournaments from like you
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: can go away from the sixties all the way to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: two thousands. Yeah, and going on piles on YouTube, a
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: lot of the old British ones have no scoreboard up,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: barely announcers. They say three words and it's usually oh
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: that's so beautiful, you know, and it's like, oh that
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: was so swing, you know that kind of thing. They
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: say nothing and it's quiet. It's it is dead air.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: And it's like, and guess what, You and I could
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: watch it all day before we're watching golf. Were used
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: to it if you want, Yeah, if you want to,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: you and I could do it because we've seen it.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: So we've known what dead air sounds like in our life.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: But there's no way they can get away with that anymore.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: And it's like and it's and it's one of those things.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: It's like you were talking about it yourself, but to
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: do But what we're talking about is dead air and
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: they can't get away with any of that right for
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: what we want to see. So there's where our problem lies.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: It is the fact that it's not our world anymore.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: It's like, we can watch this stuff from YouTube, but
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: you try to put that in front of a fourteen
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: year old forget it.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'll be honest, I've watched games and I've
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: muted it and put like music on you know, I've
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: been at that point, you know, not all the time,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: and sometimes I've listened to the radio calls instead of
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: what you know, instead of the TV calls.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's common too. I've seen people do that.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: I'm just not that impressed by some of the announcers
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: for them to get paid the money they get that,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: the money that they get paid, it is ridiculous.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: Well yeah, I'll tell you, both of you know hang
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: Out No and the Cold they should get paid more money.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both of you set this one up really well
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: for me. I appreciate everybody for doing that. Here's what
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: you have. Remember when I've met Steven A. Smith a
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: couple of times, I've seen a lot of people on
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: the air. Bob Lee, first of all, is my all
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: time favorite. Candy remembers my interaction with him and n Sma.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. And Bob Lee retired and retired after
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: we left and back, and I knew he would is
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: the best ESPN talent they've ever had. Bob Lee hand
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: down number one. Steven Ah Smith. I'll say this much
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: about him, does it carry a lot of following. I
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: think he's worth a lot of money. But the thing
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: I've learned about I'm watching him and in my couple
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: of interactions with him is he may be loud, but
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: he researches his stuff. So if you think you're gonna
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: get into a screaming match with this guy and think
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: you can beat him at his game when he's researching,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: you're in trouble. If you don't believe me, ask Max
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Kellerman who got run off a network that way. He
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: literally got railroaded off that network because of it. The
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith is definitely worth the money because of
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: what he brings on a platform. Max Kellerman got run off.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: He's intimidated a lot of people for sure. But I
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: don't have a problem the loud if that's his style,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. But the guy on that
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: list and I really think is worth a lot of
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: money with Charlo Barkley. Charle Barkley is a guy that
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: speaks his mind and a lot of people love him.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Hear what he has to say, and that's why he's
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: in my book. I admire what he stands in front
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: with Steven A. Smith, he wears on you for a while.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: You just have to get used to his demeanor and
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: how he goes about doing things. We'll continue these even
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: a thing a little bit. We have two more topics
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: we want to get to and then a special birthday grinning.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: I want to get out there as well. So get this.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Stephen A's contract perks include his primary focus are obviously
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: going to be on First Take and the NBA, appear
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, appear on Monday Night countdown, the ability
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: to grows production company, freedom to talk politics and social issues.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: If he was able to get that in his contract,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: that was a win. Is all right, and I'm not
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: getting into politics on it, but it's not. It's the
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: worst CP secret on the planet. He's going to run
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: for presidents down the road. I think he's using this
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: to set that up. That's one of the enticing things
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: that you have a platform that bank how you're able
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: to do it? Do I need everybody to comment on this.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: Which I brought that up. I brought that up on
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: my Facebook today. I made Chris may have seen it.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: I said, I said, if you think that forty million
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: is big, now wait till he gets a superpack exactly.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: So he'll go to the moon. So so yeah, let
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: me finish my thought. But I agree with your great
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: minds thinking light there. So he's got that plan from
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: the set up as presidential run whatever happens on the road.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: I don't get into politics. I'm just mentioning it. But
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: here's a guy. Your win is in so much to
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: forty million bucks, Your win really is you know, first
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: take NBA and that's nothing. But when he has a
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: chance to grow his politics and a social issue, that's
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: where this whole thing sets in. All Right, the floor
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: is George Aikorn. You agree or disagree, don't make it long.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: Well, step and a Smith we're talking about again.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got one more. We're gonna talk about it again.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not at all opposed to making as
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: much money as you can and this freedom of the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: United States of America. Some people turned off, they don't
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: like him, they don't want him. Then you just have
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: to either turn the sound down or you put on
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: a different channel. Is he opinionated, Yes, But so is
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: Charles Parkley opinionated, So is Shack O'Neill. So, I mean,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: we got a situation here, and it is it's just
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: amazing how these salaries have skyrocketed. And the fact is that, yeah,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: he doesn't have a single source for that income. He's
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: going to have multiple sources, and he is looking at
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: the future. I don't want to get into it either, Scott,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 4: but yes, I agree that he's really looking into the future.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just setting up the central saying George is
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: setting up the stage for the inevitable. I think we
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: could say that without getting into trouble, right, right, right,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: and then it got the following to do it right?
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: He does, absolutely, and I'll leave it at.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: That, all right. Can he need a researst or do
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: you have an opinion?
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: I have an opinion. I think if you are on
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: a sports program and you are that, you shouldn't be
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 5: talking about politics. If he wants to talk about politics
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 5: outside of that, that's fine because the rest of us
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: can always turn him on or off depending on what
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: it is. Everybody has a right to their opinion, and
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: everyone has that has a voice, has a has a
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 5: right to voice that opinion. It's up to you whether
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: you want to listen to it. As long as you're
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 5: being respectful. That's the only happle to say no.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: And I think you're one hundred percent right. Number one,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: You have streaming and he is his own production company,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: and if he wants to talk about on his own
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: production company and George, and I'll tell you everybody that's
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: not SCC regulated, that's a different animal altogether. Georgia, when
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: we were doing our thing back in seventy nine, you
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: know who in the right mind ever thought about streaming
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: production companies all that stuff. I never thought that my
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: final stuff would be on my own platform doing this,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: But that's how things work, So streaming his own production
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: company any more power to them nowadays. When I've had
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: the vision of starting the Tribune years ago, I saw
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: that those newspapers were going south, and I quickly turned
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: to digital. And then everybody else started catching on layers
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: that make me smarter anybody else, No, but I saw
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: the direction was going. So you have to be insightful
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to know what the inevitability is. And
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: I know, jab you comment on this, Is there anything
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: quickly you want to add to it? Will turn over
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: to Chris. And one last thing I want to get
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: to Wright. I send out this propecial happy Birthday go
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: ahead to Jacob.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: Now the overall is you brought up the things with
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: these people, you know, It's like you brought it up
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: with you having their own platforms or everything. Everybody. One
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: great thing that I can say with something like this
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: is everybody has their platform and everybody's got a shot
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: before it was, so you got to remember everybody. It's
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: like if you try to go like put it in
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: resumes for ESPN, now you're a boomer. It's just true.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: It's like your main thing is to start your owns,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: your own company, your owns, the show, your own empire
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: if you will, and have them call you, have them
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: come to That's what my dad used to say about
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: me with dates. He just says, let them come to you.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: It's like, it's kind of funny now you think about
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: the thing. But guess what, that's the way you get
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: the media. That's the way you get everything. You almost
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: build your own stuff and let them come to you.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: Well done, okay, Chris, Yeah, listen, if you're talking about
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: him running for president or something like that.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 6: You know, why not? At this point? What is politics
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 6: right now?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: Like what do we? Uh?
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't want to get too deep into it,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: but why not why not run for it?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: Both both parties are a mess, so why not run?
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: He's probably got a shot to win because Look what's
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: out there. Look what it's become. It's become a poop show.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: So why not run?
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you see all the person I guess my
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: question to you, Chris, is you understand the perks for
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: there in general where he's getting a lot of other
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: things in addition to these other things. That's what it's
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: all about nowadays, if you can get more freedom to
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: say what you want. When I'm getting in trouble because
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: you look at all in the last week, and I'm
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: not getting in any specifics, how many individuals have lost
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: their job over an unfortunate recent tragedy that's taken place.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're in his case, he might get away
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: with it because he's already covered his backside. Other people
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: when they went out on a limb, found themselves out
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: of a job. I'm not divulging anything, but I think
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that are following the tea leaves
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: there can understand that this is where the perk's coming
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: to play for this guy. He's smart, he's shrewd, he negotiated,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: he's in advance. This is a This was an absolute
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: platform they couldn't handle rush Limbo okay, and now they
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: have this guy who's polarizing. Rush Wimbo was on their
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: NFL pregame show and they let and he didn't make
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: it a year. That's what this is about, Chris. It's
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: about the perks and all that. If you don't want
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: to go any further, I'm okay, and I'm with what
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: everything you have to say. I really am ye. So
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: that's the one last little fact and nobody has to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: come and it is what Stephen A. Smith is being
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: paid more than all but eighty two NFL players that
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you exactly the nature has conversation
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: and will leave it at that. So all right, I
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: know I'm stealing this from from George, but I didn't
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: mention it on football for a reason, so I'll go
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: ahead and mention it now. Happy one hundred birthday to
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: Martha Firestone Forward. To make it one hundred years old
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: for that woman is unbelievable. You talk about the fortunes
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: of the franchise that has changed when she took over,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: and only to turn it over to her daughter, Sheila Hampford.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: I think her name is more power too. So happy birthday,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: missis Forward. Hope you've enjoyed it, and I'm glad that
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: you've had a chance to see your team do any
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: some well in the last couple of years. All right, George,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: you can talk about this one.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean she's an incredible woman. She really is.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: When you think about the women and George Hallis's widow
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: and the ladies Frontiera Rosenbloom at the time she was
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: a there's been a lot of them and I'm not
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: gonna start naming them, but missus Ford she's stuck with it, okay.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: And my feeling is that, you know she was maybe
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: a silent partner with her husband, you know, Scott. You
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: would see him in the locker room all the time,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: mister Ford after lying games. Missus Ford she's not that accessible.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: But then again, she's one hundred years old. She did
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: a nice thing and smoothly transitioned to one of her daughters.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: I think it was a great handoff, a great tribute
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: to her, and there's no question about it. She's going
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: to be remembered a long long time as far as
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: the NFL and women in the NFL goes.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, where you're really missing it here is when
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: she took over the ownership from her husband, she cleaned
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: house and got rid of a lot of people.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 4: She did.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: I remember when she did that. She took control and
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: wiped out a lot of people. This is how her
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: husband ran it. That's how I'm running in and a
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: lot of heads rolled. I'm not mentioning names, but that's
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: when she put her That's when she put her stamp
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: on it, and we know what the succession plan goes there. Anyways,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: having a one hundred birthday with Fort Katie, I'm sure
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: he has some pretty nice thoughts about a woman that
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: who's obviously a game changer, one hundred years of age, woman,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: minority ownership, especially with the female side, a lot of them.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: We're not going to mention this. This second strictly dedicated
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: to missus Ford.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: So kudos to her, because, let's face it, anybody that
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 5: makes it that long, like we've all talked about how
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 5: we hit. You hit certain ages and you start to
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 5: feel it in your bones. You're taking more medic medicines
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 5: and everything like that. So kudos to her. She still
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: looks like she was in good health over one hundred years,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: you know, old and part owner like you. I like
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 5: to see females be successful, especially in the sports arena.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 5: Whether it be owner, whether it be athlete, and then
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 5: and then to live as long as she has, that's awesome.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: Kudos to her.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 5: I hope she lives many more years.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't think there's a better way to
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: end to childon with her at the very end, all right, Jacob.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: Well, she has to be I'm just saying this part whatsoever.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: She has to be more.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: She has to be more less, not saying more. She
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: has to be less insufferable than Virginia McCaskey was. So
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: I'm the one thing is that's good. That's a good
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: thing for her. But one of the things about it
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: is we're gonna see this a lot more. I mean,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: look at the look at the the three Look at
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: the three daughters that are running them. You know, daughters
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: that are running the cult right now, and they're too
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: old right you know, it's like and if they succeed
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: being that, you're gonna see this a lot more. And
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: guess what, there will be people that are rooting for
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: them to have another four or five win things. So
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: it goes, that's up. But they're gonna here's the deal
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: they get regardless of it. They do know their football.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: There are people that throw complaints that they're on the
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: field and they're listening in and they're trying to make
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: sure to see if the coaches know what they're talking about.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: When they're doing it, they stay on the microphone, they
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: have the ears the ears open and I say this,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: they've been doing this since they.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: Are about eight years old. Nine years old.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: They were within that the whole time he taught them
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: the game. They know this kind of stuff. So it's like,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: I trust them. So this it's like, and you look
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: what you're having right now with Jalen Hurts. He's got
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: an all women the Banishment group and look at all
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: the stuff that he's.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: Taken care of.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: So this isn't the world where it's like they're way
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: and it's like if it's the world where the man
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: runs things, it is by volunteering. I mean, the woman
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: says that they want him, but you don't have to
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: have that anymore. It's this is just a different world.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: You know, you're both sides can do it now.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: Christ Yeah, I think it's amazing. You know, God bless
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: our one hundred years old and still being around at
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: one hundred is uh, that's a gift in life. I
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: think to be around that long and to see everything
• 1:32:40
