  Speaker 1: You and everybody. Welcome to another edition to the Sports Exchange.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: My name is Scott Morgan off Kota City, mad Mouth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Great crew lined up. We have Marvin, we have Candy,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: we had Jacob, we have Scott, and we have Tommy.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: All right, obviously those are the introductions. I know, we
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: want to get to an awful lot and so let's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: not let's get right to it. First of all, we'll
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: start off on a non sports topic. Disney lost one
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: point seven million subscribers during Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. This comes
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: from kt LA Marvin. Some thoughts about Jimmy Kimmel and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: what took place over there.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not the one point three million subscriptions. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the fifty bucks a month that those subscribers are paying.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: That that that hit them hard.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: This whole thing with Trump, you know, intervening and trying
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to use his force and influence.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Uh, it hurt Disney, hurt him bad. And now they've
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: got to.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Try to recoup I think it's like three hundred million
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: dollars or something like that they lost, you know what
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, their stocks fell, and yeah, it was it
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: was horrible man. So you know Hopefully they they can
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: refrain from, you know, pounding down to a political pressure. Unfortunately,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: forty five forty seven has a lot of power, a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: lot of influence, and you know, you see these major
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: major corporations you know impacted. You know what I'm saying,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: just fearful of how he can impact them. So Jimmy Kimmell, listen,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: he has a huge following. When he came back, it was,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it was they had big numbers. Hopefully they can recoup
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that money, man, but they took a hit.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: KD.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: You know, it's amazing because he would suspend it for
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: less than a week in mid September, and the amount
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: of cancelations that they're they're saying that the turn rates
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: doubling in millions of cancelations, although they also saw some
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: new sign ups as well, leading to a debate over
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: the net impact of and highlighting cultural issues affecting business.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Study.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: There's gonna be great a lot of studies being done on,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: you know, the cancelations that they suffered during Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: Tommy, uh, you know, I've been watching him more than
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: ever now and the commentary he has on Trump each
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: night is just just.
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: Hits the nail on the head every day about what
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: a con man this guy is and what a petty,
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: pathetic person he is, And it's great to see the
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: republic respond, the public respond.
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: The way it did.
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: It just makes Bezos and Zuckerberg and all these other
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: guys who are just we're chasing a dollar look more
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: and more like cowards. All these Republican congressman and senators,
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: they're all cowards.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Tony tell you what I'll go. I'll repeat it sentiment.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It good to see it's home. Okay. Disney lost one
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: point to a million subscribers when Jimmy Kimmel was suspended.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Any thoughts on this.
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: It just shows the power of the people when they unite,
• 3:45
  Speaker 9: and it shows that we can affect a dollar. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: those companies care a lot about the dollar. So if
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: a group of people can show how much they care
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: about a certain thing, we can hit them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: Wear it hurts, Jacob Tommy, I'll bring one part. This
• 4:01
  Speaker 10: is a two part thing I'm gonna say on this.
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: I'll bring one part onto the deal. The thing that
• 4:06
  Speaker 10: hurt hate doesn't hurt Trump. Tommy, hate doesn't, and ignoring
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: him hurts He Ignoring him hurts him. Hate does and
• 4:15
  Speaker 10: bringing him up all the time, it doesn't. I mean,
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: bringing them up all the time just helps him. He
• 4:20
  Speaker 10: just as much as he complains and gripes and everything.
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: The thing that helps him the most is continue to
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: keep his name out there. I brought up a I
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: brought up a hashtag a little while of that called
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: ignore forty seven. I wish it would continue. But the
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: biggest thing I think about is Johnny Carson during the
• 4:36
  Speaker 10: time saying that he doesn't want to lose fifty percent
• 4:38
  Speaker 10: of his audience. The one, the one, uh, let's the
• 4:43
  Speaker 10: talk show that understands and tries to do and goes
• 4:46
  Speaker 10: as minor as possible. Yeah, make fun of Trump all
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: day long. The guys weren't well worth it, but make
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: fun of everybody. The one that figures that out and
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: does real comedy and does everything like that will be
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: number one by fifty million miles. And as far as
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: Disney goes, it is like Target. Target had the whole
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: thing with the with the whole of swimsuits for the
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: trans and then people threw a fit, and then they
• 5:11
  Speaker 10: they gave up their stuff, and then they they caved in,
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: and then and didn't guess what the left side of
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: the wing once they caved in on that, gave that up,
• 5:21
  Speaker 10: So then they're in trouble.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Target's trouble. So it is Disney.
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: Make up your mind and do your thing. Which audience
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: are you going to get? That's all I have to
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: say with that, Scott.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump is by far the worst president journalists and
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: media have ever had. I am a First Amendment absolutist.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Anytime you try to crush the First Amendment or bend
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: it in any sort of way, shape, or fashion, I'm
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: dead against it. As far as I'm concerned, Donald Trump
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: is the worst. Disney deserves what they got because they
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: put up with it, did lose more money.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I like your out spoken opinions, Scott. Great stuff, man,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: good stuff, Thank you. Okay. The Brooklyn Nets have a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: que have advised Michael Porter Junior to steer clear of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: certain types of topics when he does podcasts. His response,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: for the most part is I'm chilling. I'm not trying
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to say anything crazy anymore. Current packer and Michael Persons
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is very active when it came to doing podcasts. All right, Marvin,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about the next telling? Michael Porter
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: junior to cool it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine employers telling their employees, hey, listen to
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: all you guys who grew up in the digital age
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and post two thousand, who have YouTube channels and all this,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: stop doing all that, all right, stop doing it and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: stop talking about this, stop talking about that. That's how
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I look at this. What what right do the Brooklyn
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Nets have to tell their employee, you know what he
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: can do in his off time in regards to how
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: he makes money. We live in the digital age. He
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: makes money online. What I'm saying, so, you know, I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: think that's just hogwatshed, to be honest with you. On
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the other end, I understand that this is a major corporation.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He's the face of the organization and what they don't
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: want is him saying something of being a part of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: anything that can have a negative impact on him. They're
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a brand, their ability to play him, trade him, or
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: whatever they're gonna do. Uh, they're they're afraid of drama.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: They're afraid of the surface coming to town because they're young,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: outspoken superstar may say something. I get their perspective, but
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: they're definitely over the line on this. They let that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: man make his money like everybody else, you know, And
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the last thing I want to see are you know
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in New CBA see nf NBA players not allowed to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: have podcasts, are not allowed to do certain things on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: social media. It's a real slippery slope. I understand it,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but I think they're in the wrong for that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Katy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: This is this is a tough topic because as UH
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: an employer or being employed by certain entity's businesses, do
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: they have the right to tell you what you can
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: talk about on a podcast or outside of your normal hours,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: but you are you do represent that organization even in
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: your off time, and I get to a certain extent,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: the Brooklyn Nuts telling him what they they have told them. Now,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: with that being said, because of social media, so many
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: things can get blown up. The other thing that we
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: have seen is it's so much it's so easy to
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: edit videos and things, and that's where we really get
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: into problems because now I can go out there and
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: edit a video and make it seem like somebody said
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: something and maybe they said the complete opposite because I,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: you know, put it and took out a know or
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: something else. So it's just really hard in this new
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: digital age of media to say what you can and
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: can't say, but I can see both sides.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: Do you think, Tommy, I was just looking up to
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: see who the owner of the nets is. Joe Si,
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Taiwanese Canadian billionaire. I think I would think that any
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: guy from Taiwan who didn't understand, you know what an autocrat,
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: autocratic country run by an autocrat.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I hope he sticks to his guns. Porter.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: You know, nobody told me. I don't know how much
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: wade he has behind him. I'm sure another team would
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: pick him up. But Mike, Bill Russell always spoke his mind,
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: Kareem always spoke his mind, Bill Walton always spoke his mine.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: You know, you weren't going to get rid of those guys.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: So I hope he sticks to his goods totally.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: I mean it's a slippery slope telling anybody to not,
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: you know, speak their mind freely. But Michael Porter Jr.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: Is in a unique situation where his brother is one
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: of the first and it looks like many or a
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: few that are coming down there for sports gambling. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: I know that has been a topic on podcast that
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: he's been on, and you know, you just don't want
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: to be that's your brother, you know, what I'm saying,
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: So you're already close to the situation, you kind of
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: want to steer clear from even talking about it and
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: maybe slipping up and saying the wrong thing. He has
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: had said certain things about like the LGBT community, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: I feel like, you know whatever with that. But I
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: think most of it is about the sports gambling, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: that's why it's came up now recently, now that the
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: NBA is cracking down on that, they want to make
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: sure that he's just not out there talking freely since
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: he's so close to that situation, take him.
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: You know what started this whole thing, and we saw
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: it on the news in the first place. The biggest
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: thing that started it is the fact that he said
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: that w NBA players would not stand until the chance
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: that they drove into the lane on NBA players. So
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: if you cutting him, agreed with it. But all of
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: a sudden, everybody's throwing a fit over it. But meanwhile,
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: you know what we've had in the last week or so,
• 11:22
  Speaker 10: We had Nick Kyrios absolutely annihilate the number one woman's
• 11:26
  Speaker 10: player in the world, and it gave her three games.
• 11:29
  Speaker 10: I mean, they even had all the rules in the
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: world to make it make it. She got one to serve.
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: They both got served, but she had wider things all that,
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: and he annihilated her. And we've seen this and it
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: was strength. And it doesn't mean she's any less of
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: a number one. It is the fact that Michael Porter
• 11:45
  Speaker 10: was telling the truth of the strength of men versus women,
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: and the NBA.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Is just scared to doath scared.
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: And that's what caused all this, and it is like
• 11:55
  Speaker 10: they need to get the reality of all this. It
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: doesn't make the WNBA any life, as it doesn't make
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: the many of US athletes.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: It's called biology.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Scott Scott unless he is directly adversely affecting the Brooklyn
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Nets brand, the logo, the team. They have no right
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: to interfere with what he has to say on his podcast.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: He has every right to go ahead and speak his mind. Again,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: that's the first amendment absolutist in me coming out. But
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: who are they to say that he can't talk about
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: the w NBA and they can't drive through the lane.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: They can't. It's just not possible. You think Caitlyn Clark
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: is going to be able to drive through the lane
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: against even if you take one of the rookies tat.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Let's just say it, Victor Wegbanuema.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you think she's gonna be able to get past him,
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: should be laying on the floor for a month.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: He's entitled to see what he wants and I'm gonna
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: fight for it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I don't be the luck to fight for I have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a feeling and be treated by the deadline anyways. But
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I understand that keep in the mind with Candy said though,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: these things to definitely go ahead and be edited as well.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: So I understand where club is trying to protect what
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they're doing. But they and that's need to focus not
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: on his podcast. They need to make sure they put
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: together a pretty good product in the field or court
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: so that the Barclays Center is definitely filled up. That
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is what they need to do. So if that said,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we're going to go to another non sports topic, one
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that I actually really go by, and we're going to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: talk about the sketcher's story a little bit. And here's this.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of people, I tell you, I wear them.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I spent a ton of money on those. Shoot, that's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the only way I can go by with my busted
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: up knees and ankles. So we must have a little
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: bit of fun with this topic. Thatchers they don't sign
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: expensive sports stars what they actually do. Instead, they use
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: celebrities like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. In the early
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: two thousands, the goal wasn't mass appeal, not niche prestige.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Let's continue on. By the med two thousand, Sketchers shifted
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: focused again, this time to comfort. They launched that relaxed
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: fit and memory phone shoes a worked, Sales exploded. Sketchers
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: kept pricing low and style simple. Their shoes weren't flashy,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: but they were comfortable, durable, and affordable. That's what people wanted.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: They also built a strong retail presence. Instead of relying
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: on big stores, Sketchers opened its own branded outlets. Not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: only Knows Candy and I have been there a few times.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: More control, more margin. In twenty Twelvey launched to Go Walk,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a walking shoe line focused on comfort. It became one
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of the best selling products ever. They kept innovating, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: only when it matched their brand. Continue on today's sales
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and they sell in one hundred and seventy countries. They
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: move more pairs and most high profile sneaker brands all
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: without the hype as we continue. While others chase limited
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: drops and endorsement, Sketchers focuses on families, workers, and older adults.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: The strategy made them a global powerhouse. Sketchers proved that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you don't need to be cool to be successful. You
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: need to understand your customer and deliver what they want.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: From founder, from founder to eight billion dollar brand. Robert
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Greenberg did try to beat Nike. Okay, he built something
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that that was totally different and it worked. So with
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that said, I've given you everything, Marvel, what are your
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: talks about Sketchers?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: To me, this sounds like a lesson in how to survive,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: how to evolve. That's I mean, Sketchers did a phenomenal
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: job of that. And because they're right, you know, all
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the marketing all you see in here are these big
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: name athletes and the Nikes in the rebox, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: and the Adidas you know. Addressing the senior market is huge,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: as as a huge market period. I've been there before,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: you know, and I think Nike's perceived as as expensive
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: by definitely senior groups. I would say, so Sketchers coming
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: in there taking advantage of that. His genius, you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: changing this shoe evolving his shoe given. You know, trying
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to stay within a certain price point makes a lot
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: of sense in a world where you got brand new
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: shoes selling for thousands of dollars, you know, Yeezys and Jordans.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's unbelievable what they're going for.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So yeah, again, a lesson in survival, Kudos and Sketchers, Jenny.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: So part of the part of the advertisements that they
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: have done, they have included baseball player Clayton Kershaw, boxer
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Sugar Ray Leonard, American football players Joe Montana, Tony Romo,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Howie Long, Chris Carter. Since twenty ten, Sketchers has been
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: a regular Super Bowl advertiser. One of the other things
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: I'll say is the performance has featured distance runners, professional golfers.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: The brand expanded into pickleball in twenty twenty two, signing
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: several of the sport's top players and sponsoring the first
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: nationally televised pickball tournament in the US. And we know
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: that that has really grown. And twenty twenty three, Sketchers
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: announced a move into soccer and basketball and introducing new
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: technical shoes worn and promoted by England national football team
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: player Harry Kane and NBA players Julius Randall, Terrence Mann
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: and Joel Embiid. In twenty twenty four, Sketchers replaced Nivia
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Sports as the kids sponsor of one of India's oldest
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: and most successful football team. I can tell you from
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: a personal experience, I am somebody that for the most
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: for a lot of my day, I'm standing on my feet,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: and I can tell you I've worn all kinds of
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: different shoes, and I've often had come home with feet problems,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: my legs ached. I switched to Sketchers a couple of
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: years ago, and I no longer have any pain. I
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: come home, My feet don't ache, my legs don't bother me.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: So I will stand by their shoes, you know, knowing
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: that I stand on my legs all day and don't
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: have problems now that I've switched to Sketchers.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: All right, Tommy, I'm trying to see you some shoes.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: But boy, these are pretty good. I'm living prof I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: have to. I mean, let's not kid ourselves. I mean,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I've taken a beating over the ears, but these are
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: pretty good.
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they have a good advertising campaign. Howy long runs
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: stick out in my mind. If they can cut into
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: Nike's market.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: I've been anti Nike ever since. Michael Jordan's said Republicans
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: buy shoes too. When he was asked to endorse a
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: Kennedy running against Jesse Helps, a North Carolina senator who
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: is a segregation Jordan couldn't stand up and do anything
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: but say, Republicans buy shoes too.
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: Tony, I'm with Marvin Man. It's definitely a lesson of survival.
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: It's cool to see what sketches have become to like
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: a cool popular shoe once you get Snoop Dogg involved.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: I got an eight year old daughter and one day
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: she saw Snoop Dogg on TV and said, I know
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: it's a big deal. Now, okay, So once you get
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Snoop dog involved, you're doing something big and sketchers and
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: what like Candy echoed and read, I mean like Candy Red.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: Now they are going into the sports. I saw I
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: see Julius Randall's wear his shoes. Joe ellenb is a
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: former m v P wearing his shoes. Terrence Man is
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: not just another guy. He's the starting point guard in
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: the league. So kids being able to see NBA players
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: wearing those shoes. That's going to get them into more
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: of the cool factor as well. Uh, yes, we got
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: some work to do once week once the show is over.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: She's just and she knows I'm a very tough person
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to look after with all the accent pains I have,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: right Solomon, after all, he gets the updates from uh,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the boss. Lots of time solom in those first hand.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, what else can I say anything? You
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: don't want to add to what? Tony? You're really a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: rising start on this platform.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: I appreciate that, But no, that's all. That's it, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: just uh them them getting these NBA players, that's that's
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: the transition into them probably taking more of a step
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: into the NBA now in athletes take them.
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Well, for one thing, some of the names that you named,
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: Joe Montana, Tony Romo, all of those you know how
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: you long older people, older athletes their feet are their
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: feet are absolutely crushed.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: They need the comfort.
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: Now you bring up Joe l Embiid and the Julius
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: Randall their seat are ridiculous, you'll know who else you
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: should probably get. If he wasn't with with on with
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: the on project. Roger Federer, but he's got his own
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: thing that he's invested in on. You've got those. It's
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: like tennis players. You should see more because their feet
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: are destroyed so really by itself. This is the thing
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: Sketchers hadn't understand that older people live longer now, so
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: you've got to get it toward the older people. You
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: couldn't head it for Grandpa Walton back in the nineteen twenties.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: He died at sixty six years old. Now everybody is now,
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: everybody's living in eighty and ninety and they're all walking
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: and they're doing I mean you're seeing I brought up
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: with Grandpa Dina, like sixty six years old.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Sixty six year old.
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: They're now doing American Ninjel Warrior, Different world, different day.
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: So Sketchers understood this a long time ago and to
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: understanding now, Scott.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: The thing I like about Sketchers advertising campaign is they're
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: not in your face. They advertise their product, but they
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: don't constantly barrage you with their shoes, and they have
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: you know, if this guy wears them, then you want
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: to wear them because you want to be cool. You
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: want to be like Mike. You know, they don't get
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: into that. I know my parents both wear Sketchers and
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: swear by them. Hope is probably just as nice. They're
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: more expensive, but Sketches makes a great product and they
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: stand by their product. We've brought a couple of pairs
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: back that we're just bad fits, and they took them back,
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: and uh, you're right. They do use older athletes because
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: they're appealing to older people. And I think it's I
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: think it's nice. I hope you're not saying I'm all got.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I might say that that was kidd.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: I'm staying out of that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: The one other things I would like to would like
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: to say is that they are. Their headquarters is in
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Manhattan Beach, California, So they are. They have five thousand,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: two hundred and ninety six locations. Their total assets are
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: eight point four or five billion dollars, approximately over twenty
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: thousand employees that they employ. And Sketchers was founded in
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety two by Robert Greenberg, who had previously founded
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: La Gear back in nineteen eighty three.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Great, so we to our statistician, Candy, I will continue one.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: One last thing. They do donate new shoes to children
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: in need worldwide through its Bob's Charity program and through
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: head start programs. They've in twenty twenty four they donated
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: twenty thousand dollars to Austin high school men and women's
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: soccer teams. So they do do philanthropy as well.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's continue on Russell Westbrook. Actually, how much
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: since he love the NBA. I'll tell you what. The
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: NBA offered him three point six million to play eighty
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: two games. China offered them ten million for a twenty
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: post games. You think China one of them? Bad? Marvin,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I would say, so.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Listen, uh, in America, where you're taught to get money,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: everything's about money. It's celebrate and pop culture and hip
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: hop and all the things that a lot of these
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: young guys listen to. The fact that he turned down
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: ten mil to take three meal and did it not
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: not to go you know, to LA or New York,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: or go play for a contender, to go to the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings. The fact that he turned that money on
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to go to the Kings tells you this guy is
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: serious about you know, NBA basketball. He loves playing in
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the league at the highest levels, the best basketball in
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: the world. You know, the opportunity to play in the league,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, at the beginning of the year, everybody's
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: talking about, you know, we're gonna win a championship. But obviously,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you know with Sacramona Kings, you look at their roster
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: and their makeup, they're not built for that. This guy
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: knew that a tough year was coming. And yet if
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you watch him play, this guy's playing all out. He's
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: given you great minutes. He's moving up the moving up
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the charts in regards to triple doubles. And there's nothing
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: about him that you would know what I mean, he's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: in his seventeenth year, you know what I'm saying. This
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: guy's in his mid to late thirties. That's O for basketball.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It's really old, you know. But this guy's giving you
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: high quality minutes. He's still giving you high effort. And
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: this is this is what fans should love to see.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: There's so much press about, so much negative press about
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: players and money and this and that. This is a
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: guy who at the end of the rope, is taking
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: pretty much minimum wage to play the game he loves
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and he's playing at a high level. So he's a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: great story, great role model for kids. Even though he
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: went to UCLA. I can say that I admired his dude,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: and I'm a fan.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: He is a nine time NBA All Star. He is
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: a wife and three children, one gon two and twin daughters.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: I understand him probably taking less money to stay here
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: instead of uprooting his whole family and moving them. Even
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: if it is less money, He's probably earned how much
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: money already, and if he's smart and has invested it,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: it'll last for him and his family that he doesn't
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: need the difference.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Tommy, Yeah, that's an interesting story.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: More power to him.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: I don't really have much state I have to it.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: That's okay, no problem. Got to feel the things you're
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: gonna plenty to say.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Onybody ever turned down that money.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: More power to.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, Tony.
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: Everything I've seen from Russell Westbrook shows that he's family first.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: So like him being able to stay even though it
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: is Sacramento. I feel you, Marvin, but he's still in
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: California where he's from. That's a whole lot closer than China,
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: someone who he's He's made the Supermax contract a couple
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: of times, so he's made a lot of money in
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: the NBA, at least one contract was over two hundred
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: million dollars. He I know, you want to make as
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: much as possible, but if anybody can afford to take
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: the paker, he's one of the people who can. Especially
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: with family being first for him. I think that was
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: probably the deciding factor more than anything. But I will
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: say this me personally, I'm going to China. I'm playing
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: those twenty games, and then I'm coming back as a
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: free agency in I'm double davy.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Smart businessman told me, all right, Jacob.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: Now here's the thing with Russell Westbrook. For a second,
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: this reminds me of the story of Darryl Strawberry when
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: he was making this comeback. Two hundred some odd teams
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: didn't take him, and he finally got an independent league
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: to take him. He hits four thirty five and he
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: gets a chance again with the Yankees. That's what Western
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: Westbrook would be if he was in China. He probably
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: averaged forty five to fifty points a game. There is
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: no there is There is no comparative to the to
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: the talent of that stuff.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: He'd blow it away. It's not even close. He's considered
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: smaller in the league.
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: And he blowed them away on that it's just a
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: different world, different style, different everything. And that's the issue
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: that I say with this. He knew it himself. Look
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: what he's doing now. Look at what he's doing with
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: these guys now they didn't know. Okay, he got to
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: the Sacramento Kings, big deal and stuff like that. He
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: shows he can still play. If he still scoring the
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: way he isn't doing anything. Way, what would he do
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: in China. He knew it, and he didn't want to
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: be away.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: From his family. It wouldn't be worth and.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: He's got the money, Scott.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: The thing that he wanted most was the ability to play.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: He didn't want to be the last guy on the bench.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: He didn't want to come in during mop up time.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: He didn't want to go out that way. He wanted
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: to go to a place like Sacramento where he can
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: play major minutes, start on occasion, and get into the rotation.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: That's why he went to Sacramento. It had nothing to
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: do with money, it had nothing to do with China.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: It was the fact that he wanted to play valuable
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: minutes in the NBA, and you got to take your hat.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Off to him. He went to a team that won
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: eight games already.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So Jacob, how much time do you have.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Left till ten o'clock on the dot?
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Till ten I'm done. Okay, then all right, well let's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: talk about Let's remember Florn Scrift of the Joiner. You
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: talk about the Olympics coming up. Kendy, what's candy? Give
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: us a little bit of background about Florence Scriff's The
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Joiner will come back in a moment. Marvin, is there
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: anything that sants out to you about this woman? I
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: know she was a curazot woman, and yeah, a very
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: inspiring individual.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Olympic champion fashionista always had unique custom outfits. I
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: feel like the nails, I mean she had them. She
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: had nails that were like a couple of inches long.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Out there competing at a very high level, had a
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: really unfortunate death, died, passed away young, and I mean
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest sprinters of all time. I think
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: she got caught up and some of those scandals with
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: a performance en hands some drugs.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was proven or not, but
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: that was that was the big narrative around her. But
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: just an amazing athlete, and I recall the interviews and
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: her presentation. I mean, she always presented herself great and
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: just gratitude and positivity, and I just I just remember
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: her as a champion.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: That's what I remember. It's a dominant champion.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Candy US Track and Field inducted her into its Hall
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: of Fame back in nineteen ninety five. In two thy
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: one hundred and second Street School in Los Angeles was
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: renamed Laurence Griffin Joiner Elementary School. She was obviously a
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: great American track and field athlete, the fastest woman ever recorded,
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: setting world records in the one hundred meters and the
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: two hundred meters back in nineteen ninety eight. During the
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: late nineteen eighties, she became a popular figure due to
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: both her record setting athleticism and her personal style, like
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: you know Marvin was talking about and then her nails
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that. But yeah, she was in the
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Olympic gold She got gold in nineteen ninety eight for
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: the one hundred meters, the two hundred meters, and the
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: four by one hundred meters. She took silver in the
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: eighty four, Los Angeles in the two hundred meters, silver
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty eight, and Seoul in the four by
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: four hundred and she had. In nineteen eighty seven, she
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: won a world the gold World Championship for the four
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: by one hundred and silver for the two hundred. She
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: was born and raised in California, and from a young
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: age she began running track meets as a child. She
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: attended California State University, Northridge and the University of California,
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Los Angeles. She conteeded to compete in track and field
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: while still in college. She qualified for the nineteen eighty Olympics,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: but did not compete due to the US boycotting, but
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: she made her Olympic debut four years later, winning a
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: silver medal in the two hundred meters in eighty four.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: She abruptly retired in February of eighty nine, but she
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: remained a pop culture figure through endorsement deals, acting, and designing,
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: and in nineteen eight ninety eight, at age thirty eight,
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: she died in her sleep during an epileptic seizure caused
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: by a birth defect.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Oh girl, Kinzie sums it up fast than challenge. She
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: was a model on the track. She was super fast.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: She was great all right, So Tommy, some thoughts about
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: this legendary woman who obviously made a lot of memories
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and was the class of the Olympics and won a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: lot of championships.
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if you look around American track and field now,
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: there's so many stylish women, talented, stylish women. She's just
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: a forerunner for all that. However, as Margret alluded to,
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: it was in nineteen eighty eight that was Ben Johnson
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: getting busted for steroids in Seoul, So track and field
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: hadn't really picked up on what was going on with
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: their testing, and her times dropped so dramatically. As great
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: as she was, as good a person, she was delightful person,
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: it's hard not to believe she wasn't on steroids.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you totally.
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's always sad when such a great athlete it
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: just has a stain, like on their resumes such as that.
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: But it's hard to think about the record not being broken.
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: And we have bigger, stronger, fashioned women in twenty twenty
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: five and that's still standing. But I still just look
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: at her as the iconic figure the Nails. You're never
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: going to forget the Nails and clean. She's one of
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: the greatest athletes that America's ever produced. But we'll never
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: really know. Speculation is terrible, Tato.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: I'm not calling it a stain. She still had to work.
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: I'm just being honest. She still had to work at it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: And I will say this, Michael Johnson wanted to bring
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: out Track with this professional track league, and it's about
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: out of business.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: It's almost broke. They can't even pay their athletes.
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: No, here's the thing that would have made Track huge
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: if she got to live through the time of what
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: we see now with Instagram and TikTok and all of these,
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: and she could be able to get on those areas
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: and you get all those type of things, to get
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: millions of people watching about how to do her nails,
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: what kind of nails you'd get, and the styles and
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: all that kind of stuff. Because the one thing about
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: it is unlike all the others that are stylish and
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: everything that you all brought up, she I mean, she
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: would have gotten on there proudly and happily. They don't
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: do that in the same boat as she would have.
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: So she would have made Track even bigger if she
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: got if she was able to live, she would have
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: done it. It's like, it's what Michael Johnson's wanting to do.
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: Is understandable, but that's not the way she would have
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: had the wagh.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Scott Flojio was one of the greatest of all time.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: But it must be killing Marvin talking about another UCLA athlete.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: She was.
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: In my.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Olympic history. She's the greatest female track athlete that there was,
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: maybe ever will be.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, no question, no doubt questioning her legendary status.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: This will know was amazing. We have a topic design
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: for Jacob, after all, he made this one faints for
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: all the right or wrong reasons. But Audie Crooks has
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: scored double digits in her last eighty game. Jacob, can
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: any let me stop your best friend Autie Crooks?
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: No, no, And I brought one thing that I brought
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: up in the whole thing, and everybody around here wasn't
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: here when we have this. Okay, it's like now everybody
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: everybody had seen this and my very final show here
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: before I took a little bit of a break, was
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: about Audie Crooks.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: It was one of our bigger ratings too.
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: It caused all kinds of intense hate and all that
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: kind of stuff until they apologize to me for the
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: point I was making, which was the fact that she was.
• 37:17
  Speaker 10: She did have a little she did have a little
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: too much weight on her. She was awesome, and I
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: wanted her to be all right. You know what she
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: did the next year and it wasn't because of me.
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: She didn't know who I am. She lost about thirty
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: five pounds and she's getting even better, and you know
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: it's something. And as she gets to the WNBA, she's
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: going to lose more and she's going to gain muscle
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: on that. The reason I was all over her like that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: The way I was had nothing to do just plainly
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: with the weight that's too surface level. The reason I
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: was like that is because someone like I've seen it
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: with so many athletes that want to play this political
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: game or say oh I want them for the big
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: girls or whatever.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Then they bust their knees up, then they bust their
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: nas up.
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: And then the only one I know of is Taylor
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: Townsend who didn't bust her knees up. But then she
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: didn't get as far as she wanted to other than doubles.
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: Then she lost wait a little too late. And that's
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: the point I'm making. I'm not doing it to for
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: a surface level or the man versus woman thing. I'm
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: doing it because they can destroy their knees over a
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: long time. She's an awesome player. There was never a
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: doubt of that. I always said she was an awesome player.
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: I just didn't want her to bust her knees up
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: before her time. And it looks like she's going to
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: do even more things in the w n b A
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: and get more fit. And just wait till that happens.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Anybody else want to add to Audie Crook story.
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Addy Kirk still has some physical work to do. And
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: I watched them play play Baylor. You might not be
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: able to stop her offensively, but you can take advantage
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: of her defensively. Not very movement.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I'll just continue.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Can I just say she was? She was a four
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: star recruit as she left the state's all time leader
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: in field goals made, as well as the state tournament's
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: all time leader in points and rebounds. She also won
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: four state titles in track and field, including three straight
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: in the shot put.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, great stuff, all right, let's continue on. I have
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: one for Tommy all right. There's a portal clemit that
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Michigan State University, Atlanta, and he's an All FCS center
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: named Trent Frehley over Penn State and FSU. This guy,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Tommy and the son of Detroit Lions coach Hank Freyley
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: allowed just one second, eight and twenty five pass block
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: snaps at North Dakota State. So when your thought about
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: this edition, Tommy to the Spartans.
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, North Carolina State has been a FCS power
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: for a long time. They not only win games at
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: their level, they've been sending players to the NFL for
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: a long time. And Spartans they've been suffering with their
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: offensive line for three four years now. So Pat Fitzgerald
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: is addressing one of the most important rebuilds.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: He asked, he faces, Uh, they brought in three the street.
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: He would be the third offensive lineman they brought in
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: from the transfer portal.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a big obviously a big anybody else
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: want to add to it?
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Marvin, I was just being honest. I was thinking, these
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: are two irrelevant programs. No one is talking about North
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Fliina State and Michigan State on any level. You know,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: this is you know, good for the kid, and I
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: hope he does well. I mean they're not They're not
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: going to the playoffs. So yeah, I'm.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't tell you don't kid yourself. North Dakota States
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the powerhouse and SCS they really are.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Well No, I mean, listen, I'm talking them the big picture.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're looking at the final fourard we're heading
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: into this weekend with Miami and Indiana Oregon. Listen that
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: whole thing with North Dakota State. They have a great
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: program for their level. You know, I like what they
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: do for that level. It's football. Those guys love the game.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: They send guys to the pros. We've seen a few,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: but you know, I mean, if you ain't talking about
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the playoffs.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: And the Orange Bow and the Rose and you know,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, guys.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, got a topic design anybody else? Okay, we got
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: one for Scott. Okay, ready, Scott Ji Lucas and you're
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be seeing him next week, I believe down in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Miami right actually got the Hurricanes off to a tended
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to start with a win over rival FIU. Despite not
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: returning a single player from last year's roster, Lucas has
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: them totally has completely turned around the program in their
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: first season at the Helm. Scott so talks about the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Hurricane basketball program.
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: Well, it's it's hard to talk Hurricane basketball on the
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: eve of the biggest game they'll play in twenty three years,
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: but I'm gonna.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Do it for you, you Scott.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: The reason is is that Jay Lucas is a fantastic recruiter.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: He gutted that roster, he got rid of the dead wood,
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: and he brought in guys that know how to play,
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: and they're working on their chemistry. They're still ten and two.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: They had a hard loss to Florida, but that there's
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: no shame in losing to Florida and basketball. They're the
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: defending national champions and he really has that team going
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: in the right direction.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Anybody else want to add to this?
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: Jay Lucas, right, Jay Lucas right? You said yeah, yeah, yeah, Lucas,
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Kurt Signetti that you don't want to know.
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: There are the new kinds of they're in the new
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: type of coach for this generation, for this era. And
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: what I mean by that is the things that took
• 42:59
  Speaker 10: forty years someone like Bob Knight or Judd Heathcote or
• 43:03
  Speaker 10: all those guys to do with a one team, They're
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: able to do it in months and it's there. They're
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: teaching an idea of efficiency. They're teaching the idea of
• 43:13
  Speaker 10: efficiency and getting it done faster and allow and learning
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: and allow them to learn and see the court or
• 43:19
  Speaker 10: see the field quick and be able to do this
• 43:21
  Speaker 10: and do it but knowing it they have to do
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: it faster because they might be gone the next year.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: So they had this understanding. A lot of other coaches
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: don't right now.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: I don't want to take anything away from Jimmy Larnega,
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: but he was He wasn't ready for the NIL evolution.
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: He didn't want to have any part of that.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: I was at his final press conference before he left
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: Miami and he basically said, I'm not ready for this game.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: This is a totally different game for me. I'm not
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: used to paying players, right. So you know, Jay Lucas
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: comes in, he knows what they want, he knows the
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: budget he has, and he uses it wise.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, So if anybody else want to add to this.
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: I was the last three four years, so uh. And
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: then before that he was at Kentucky and Texas, so
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: he knows what a top all line program looks like.
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, especially in this era because Duke is one and
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: done Central right now, Kentucky has been one and done
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: central and moving players around for the last ten years,
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: and basketball is now just pick and roll like it's
• 44:35
  Speaker 9: not a lot of players being rand. So it's easy
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: to get these kids who play au with four or
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: five different teams to kind of get together now and
• 44:42
  Speaker 9: you know, get cohesive pretty quickly.
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: No, it's it's a long three point shot. It's a
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: three point shot, long rebound, go down to the other court,
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: three point shot down to the other end.
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: No, No, no, three point shot, miss, longer, longer three point shot,
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: miss rebound, three point shot, miss three point shot two
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: minutes later.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Make.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Okay? All right? One topic I want everybody to talk
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: about or to real quick, if you don't mind stress
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: for me for about five minutes or so. I know
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: y'all have to get off close to ten, but these
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: are important. And then after this topic or so, I'm
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: gonna have the Shanahan Report and pundit, pund it, Can
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: you guys hang with me for a little bit on
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: these topicsause they're really really important. One of which Norm
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Nixon thinks the younger generation NBA player will never understand.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I'll tell if it was to play in the eighties
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: because of racial inequality. All right, Uh, Tommy, what are
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: your thoughts of this one?
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: Well, the first thing I thought about was what, uh,
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: what's his name? Porter said? I didn't know this about
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: Porter in the women's game. So I kind of take
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: back a little about what I said. If he wants
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: to make a fool out of himself, yeah, he can
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: say what he wants, but that's stupid stuff he said
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: about the women's program. But you can say that the
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: NBA in the eighties compared to now, these guys that
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: play now couldn't survive in the eighties.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: So I mean, so you're saying that that you agree
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: with dorm Misson that they have a hard time because
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: the racial inequality. Do you agree with him?
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: Actually, Um, I'd have to think about that. I'm not
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: sure what he means by that. I mean it was
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: mostly black. The league's been mostly black since the seventies.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got something to say with that. I got
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: something to say with that that New York was all black.
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: And the whole debate of it was that when they
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: had it with Boston and all that kind of stuff
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: with the players in the eighties, that they were like
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: there was people they were interviewing and it was on
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: the Magic.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Versus Bird thirty for thirty yeah or whatever the thing is.
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: They was over there and they were saying, I think
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: there's too many black players with the white people.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: You know, that craziness. But the but the big thing
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: about it is the thing that we can think about.
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: Is when Craig Hodges lost his and he lost his
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: career basically because he was talking about some certain inning
• 47:06
  Speaker 10: callity him after nineteen ninety two, he had to go
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: into nineties, He had to go into nineteen ninety three
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: with a generic jersey going to the three point contest
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: and he never did it again because he never did
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: it again, and he didn't because he didn't have a team,
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: And there is little there's those things like that. So yeah,
• 47:24
  Speaker 10: but there's more to it in that surface. There's too
• 47:26
  Speaker 10: many with these asually equality arguments and everything. There's too
• 47:31
  Speaker 10: many surface arguments that go that they try to make
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: to it, and it's too complicated.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and uh, he showed a lot of courage when
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: he wouldn't go to the White House. Who I don't know,
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: I forget who was president at the time. Maybe Bush,
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: But yeah, you're right there used to be a lot
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: more great white hope in basketball than there is now.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: I think, so hopefully we've grown a little bit past that.
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: I think Bill Walt, you staris ain't that when they
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: would talk say that about him?
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I will go around the horn rows.
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: The rest Marvin. What Marvin is about to say something?
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: I want to speak on this topic too.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think what.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: He's yeah, I said we were going to do that.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I think what he's saying is, even though it's the
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, and you know, if you had civil rights
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: laws that are passed in the sixties that meant nothing.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: You still had industries, you still had you know, uh
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: certain you know organizations that operated Jim Crow and it
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: is what it is. I mean, nineteen eighties ownership basketball
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: was a good old boys network. That's the bottom line.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: And you know, the players Association what isn't what it
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: is today, you know what I mean.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: So he's absolutely right.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: These players today they don't they don't understand you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: racism or stivil rights or anything like that. They don't
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: get that because of the day that they live and
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: that they're making boot cool money. You know that the
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: you only could dream about You know what I'm saying.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: They live in the digital world. They're digital king them
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: social media in these platforms. You know, they they they're
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: still black, don't get me wrong. And if they mess up,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: they gonna find out that they black. But the reality
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: is they got so much money that they're living a
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: life that is almost almost transcends race. You know what
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, as opposed to the eighties, where again, these players,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: the association isn't what it is. You know, the TV
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: contracts aren't what they are. You got guys still, you
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: got the big guys still making money, but you may
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: have guys who play in the NBA and got part
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: time jobs in the off season, you know what I'm saying.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: So it's it's it's it's such a different world in
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: so many different ways. That's That's where I'm going with it.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Marvin's right. Yeah, let me add one more thing
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: of that. I don't mean to interrupt you there, Tony,
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: but yeah, Marvin's right. I didn't really understand what was
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: the context of this conversation, but that reminds me of
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: a story I wrote recently. Willie Tagger, when he was
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: a coach in South Florida. I was able to interview
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: him before they played at Michigan State, and Willie tagger
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: I understood the history of Michigan State leading college football
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: integration under W. Doherty of the Underground Railroad, and he said,
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: this is how this is hallow ground that he was
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: going to and he was looking forward to it. And
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: he also told me that he told his players and
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: whatever challenges they face, his black players, whatever challenges they faced,
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: they have no idea what the players back in the
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: sixties and before that faced.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Tommy, I know you gotta get rollings. Why don't you
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: give us your Shanahan Report real quickly and then we'll
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: let Jacob do his puns punting. But I want to
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure we get Tommy out of
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: a reasonable time. Thanks for hanging out with a couple
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: of minutes.
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: Go ahead, Tommy, Yeah, go to my website, tom Shanahan
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: Dot Report and my Twitter hand. Who is Shanny forty
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: fifty five?
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Beautiful? All right, Tommy, look forward to seeing you obviously
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday night on Inside the Victon. Well done, and
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: also Tommy's a writer for the South Florida Tribune as well.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Historians are absolutely fantastic. We connect all the dots with
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: his links and all that. So go ahead and check
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: out Tom shann hand. And I hope he generates to
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: hold the ideas some of these shows to put in
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: this show. So because this guy is outstanding, I've known
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: him a while. That's a great friends for Tommy. Great stuff.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: You see you next week. You're welcome. All right, now,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: don to Tony, you want to get some thoughts in there.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Then we'll go to Jacob real quick, and then Scott
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: will need you a few minutes longer if you don't mind, please,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: so that we can run off the show with stuff
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: is pertinent to what we're doing. Can you do that?
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: That's great? So all right, Tony, go ahead.
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah. When it comes to Norm Nixon, I think just
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: naturally things get easier for each generation. So I understand
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: what he's saying with that, but I don't. I also
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: feel like older people should be careful with discrediting what
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: challenges the younger generation do face. You know, I'm sure,
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: like you said, Marvin, you're still black in America. No,
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: not much how much money you made, and yeah, you
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: might not be getting talked about personally, But like you
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: said that digital. Hey, some of them comments can get
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: pretty brutal, you know what I'm saying. Some of the
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: things people say to you, Yeah, they might not be
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: able to say it to your face. But it's just
• 52:07
  Speaker 9: a different kind of issue now, you feel me. But
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: you just getta be careful comparing bad things happening to you, right.
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: You want to be sympathetic to everybody and what everybody
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: has going on. But I get what he's saying. It's
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: it's easier for you. Feel like it gets easier for
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: each generation. But it's just different, different troubles and stop.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: What's your take on this?
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: My takes a little different than everybody else's take to you.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: What a shock?
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I want to know.
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: What predicated Nixon to speak on the subject, right, because
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: we don't talk about today much about the race game
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: in the NBA, and I'd like to know what made
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: him come out with that out of out of the blue.
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: You know, it's it's not an issue that society is
• 53:09
  Speaker 6: dealing with today. Today's NBA player is in fighting racial inequality.
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: To the best of my knowledge, I haven't heard anything
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: in the last a bundle of years, but I wonder
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: if Nixon still still bears some ill will toward the
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: game or toward people that he worked with back from
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: the eighties, and he's still carrying a chip on his shoulder.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, Sky, well, here's a hold on.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Here's a customer. Show med shirt. Yeah, you get up
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: to stand up, show my shirt. I'll let you do it.
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: Me.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's know what your shirt says? All right, what
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: is it swag over.
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: Today?
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: And there you go. We gotta make sure we piece
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: are people in the chat room Scotti, Okay, go ahead, Marvin,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: you want to add something to.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Nor Norm came up in a tough time, is what
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: he's saying. And to be honest with you, you have
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of older players who get
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: jealous of the younger players. Jealous just because these players
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: came twenty years too late, you know, twenty years too soon.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Man, Dad, I used to always say that he wasn't jealous,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: but you know he was the highest paid player player
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: in the league, and then two years after he retired
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: that number one up times four, you know what I'm saying.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: So it's just like these.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Players, man, they you know, these great players are seeing
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: these guys making so much money just in the game
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: and sponsorships, online, on podcasts, guest appearances. I mean, the
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: money that NBA players is out of this world. I
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: love it only in America, you know what I'm saying.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it sounds like Norm may be a little jealous.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Just to be honest with you, man, that's there, and
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: there's more of that than you think.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. All right, Candy quicked us and then we
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: gotta get it. I gotta go.
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: I have to go.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no problem, no problem.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: The one of the things I've noticed about this is
• 55:11
  Speaker 10: there's people in this year that go about the Buffalo
• 55:15
  Speaker 10: Bills that complained about Josh Allen getting himself married and
• 55:18
  Speaker 10: he got married to Harry Steinfeld.
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: He's gonna give himself a kid and.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Everything like that.
• 55:21
  Speaker 10: They said that that was the reason he was quote
• 55:23
  Speaker 10: unquote bad met I remind the injuries, never mind everything.
• 55:27
  Speaker 10: Here's the thing to the fans for one second, if
• 55:30
  Speaker 10: you think about this, why was Roger Federer so great
• 55:34
  Speaker 10: a wife and then he had kids later and she
• 55:36
  Speaker 10: was his manager as everything like that kept him in line.
• 55:39
  Speaker 10: You see so many of these athletes, the ones that
• 55:42
  Speaker 10: are the most successful. Usually the most successful, with a
• 55:45
  Speaker 10: couple of exceptions, they have the wife. Jack Nicholas is
• 55:49
  Speaker 10: the greatest of all time. I'm gonna say it forever.
• 55:51
  Speaker 10: But he had a solid family life. This was the
• 55:55
  Speaker 10: big thing. Tiger could have destroyed all of his records,
• 55:59
  Speaker 10: but things happen on his end and he didn't realize
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: any of this stuff. And if he would have kept
• 56:04
  Speaker 10: with the same thing that jackad, they go good with
• 56:07
  Speaker 10: the same stability at jackad, he would have destroyed Jack's records.
• 56:12
  Speaker 10: It does not hurt to say and wife can help you.
• 56:15
  Speaker 10: Does not say a woman can help you. It does
• 56:16
  Speaker 10: not hurt to say that at all. Don't listen to
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: the fans.
• 56:20
  Speaker 9: Go with it.
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: Nicholas is an absolute gem of a woman. Who is
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: Barbara Nicholas.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I've heard that.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: All right, Jacob, we'll see you tomorrow night on Sports
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Trap Hockey. All right, ready for that one. I got
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: a loaded show, all right, take care yourself, all right,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: take care of have you got all right?
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Down to five, we're gonna go through rapid fire because
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: there's some really good topics we'll get. Thanks for hanging
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: with me a little longer. Scottie company on your NBA
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: and a lot of college football that will apply. All right,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: let's start to it. Okay, Now, Larry Bird says the
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: NBA needs to be international. Okay, some thoughts, Marvin.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear him.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, because what you're seeing are all the best
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: players getting drafted early. I mean all these European players,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: players from overseas. They I feel like they dominate the
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: NBA draft, at least the top of it. And you
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: know what he's saying is, let's let's get our brand
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: to where these kids are. This is about business. This
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: isn't about basketball, This isn't about the NBA. He understands
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: how to go to sing and how to make some money.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, rapid fire. That's that makes sense to me,
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Larry Bird.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: The NFL has has marketed themselves as a genius because
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: they have expanded into the international. Uh, the NBA needs
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: to follow suit.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Totally.
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: I mean, I feel like it's happening right. They do
• 57:51
  Speaker 9: two to three games in Paris every year, they open
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: up preseason in China. I don't know if he means
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: like putting teams internationally to make it like a conference,
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: like a World conference, but I think that should be
• 58:05
  Speaker 9: coming down the pipeline too, because they have feeder programs
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: like the NBA Africa. So it's cuming. Larry Berg, just chill.
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: You got to build the infrastructure.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: It's nunny.
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: I don't think the NBA needs to go to Europe.
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: I don't think. I don't think it would necessarily work
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: long term. I mean the NFL tried it with the
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: World League of American Football and they weren't drawing in
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: the European cities as much as they thought they were
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: going to. Yeah, for one game that they play at
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: Wembley Stadium every year, or two games at Wembley Stadium,
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: yeah they'll draw a sell out crowd. But can they
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: do that consistently night in and night out at an
• 58:52
  Speaker 6: NBA arena in London? I don't think so.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Great. So for let's continue on Fox, Drew Brees is
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: joining full time and with the ahead of A mean
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: obviously that he took the h He went out there
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: and got involved with the lines of the Viking game
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: on Netflix. The Fox line up it actually includes Tom Brady,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: greg Olsen and Breeze. What are your thoughts about this group, Marvin.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: I mean you're talking about with Brady and Breeze. You're
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: talking about two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, Tom Brady is considered the goat seven championships,
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: multiple championships with multiple team well one with the Bucks,
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: one with six with the Patriots. Drew Brees at one
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: point was the all time leading passer. We see that number,
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: you know, get broken almost every week now, seems like,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: but at one point, I mean, this guy, Drew Brees
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: is probably the biggest pro athlete probably ever in my opinion,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: in Louisiana, just in the fact that he was able
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: to bring the Saints a championship. You listen, I've played
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: for the Saints, man, I know how down those people are,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: and I know how tough that or how how hard
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: it is that organization to bring the Saints and championship,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: especially after Katrina. Listen, that guy is huge, two huge brands,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: two big quarterbacks. Fox hit a home run with that Candy.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: I enjoy listening to former players talk about what's happening
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: and what's going on and calling the game from an
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: inside perspective that other people don't always bring. Yes, maybe
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: Brady wasn't the best at first, because I've heard a
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: lot of people say that, you know, in the beginning
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: he just wasn't as good, but that he's gotten a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: lot better. But I do enjoy some of the insights
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: that they can bring that those of us like me
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: who have never played in the NFL can gather some
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: intel from him.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Tony Uh.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: I heard Drew Brees on call one game. I forgot
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: what it was and he is a natural, Like I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: just couldn't pick up his voice. That was the only
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: thing that threw me off. I was like, who is
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: this talking? Because I'm enjoying him called his game. Fox
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: saw CBS bringing Tony Romo and Tony Romo like call
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: the players before they happened, and said, you know what,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: hold my beer, We're gonna get to Tony Romo's it
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: was going to be the goat. So it's pretty good.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: I like Drew Brees and I even like Greg Olsen,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 9: Like Greg Olsen was the guy before Tom Brady and
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 9: Drew Brees got there, and I enjoyed him too. So Fox,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: if Fox got any games for the NFL Sunday, they
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: have good commentators because I like Mark sleav too. By
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: the way, just to throw him in there.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Scott, he will have two more topics. Kittoo, that's all
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: we have left of the show. Great face, enjoying it
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: very much. It's got some thoughts.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: I enjoy listening to former players do color commentary, but
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: I think Tom Brady sometimes speaks over every one's head
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: and he needs to have someone explain what he's talking about.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: He might understand it, but the average football fan doesn't.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: I only get about seventy five percent of what he says.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: And I consider myself to have graduated with a master's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: degree in college and pro football. But I think Greg
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: Olsen is the better of the two, you know what.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: I like Greg Olsen a lot too. Obviously they through
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: breaking an awful lot of money. Go ahead, and Ton
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: you want to respond.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: Back, Scott, missrs Solomon, You feel like maybe Tom Brady
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: should go John Madden and bring out the yellow marker.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the yellow marker, but I think
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 6: he needs to break it down a little bit more
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: simplified for the average viewer. Yeah, the average viewer doesn't
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 6: do podcasts. Yeah, yeah, viewer listens to podcasts, feel you.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's like he's like his own commercial. When it
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: was like if you had Tom Brady's knowledge. It'll be
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 9: too much exactly if we live in his own commercial right.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Now, right, Okay, two more topics. I want to get
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: to the NFL bizarre NFC South Boy, Scott and I
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: know all about it, don't we. Pal Well, Tampa Bay,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Carolina and Atlanta. It took Carolina to get in the playoffs.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: They're hosting the l A Rams. My goodness is gonna
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: be talking about this obviously in the coming day, Scott,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts about the fact that the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers got in and the Bucks didn't get in
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: much less the fact that that's what an eight and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: nineteen did get Insilli What comes down to? I mean,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Atlanta the coach is gone, Carolina gets in. Tampa Bay, well,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about him in a later date, but they
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: don't lose their coach. Scott, lead it off, please.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: First thing is Tony's a much better looking guy without
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: that Carolina Panthers happened.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 9: Oh no, this makes me sexy. S got Carol.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: Carolina deserves to be there. They had They only won
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 6: eight games, but it's a lot more than they've won
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 6: in the past, and Tampa Bay couldn't get the deal closed.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: They won the last game by the grace of God,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 6: certainly not by the effort on the field, and I'd
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 6: like to see what's gonna come of it next year.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: I think that if there's another eight to nine season
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 6: next year, or another loss of five out of the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: first seven games, you're gonna see Todd Bowles holding up
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: the unemployment.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Line makes sense, Okay, go ahead, Tony.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 9: Well well, well now, I'll be honest. I'm happy that
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: the Panthers in. I'm not happy that they backed in.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: I wanted them to take care of their own business.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 9: It felt so crazy hearing for the Falcon Saturday, but
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: it's the rules. I do feel like it's been more
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 9: chatter about switching the playoff format to keep teams like
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 9: Carolina or teams that's been under five hundred from getting
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 9: a playoff game home game. That is tough for Rams
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: team that won twelve games. But I'm happy, as you
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 9: can see. I went down there, got rained on for
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: an hour and a half straight. I'm gonna rep my Panthers,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: proud man. Let's go. Hopefully we can get this upset Saturday.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Candy, I think it's cool that.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: Carolina is now in the playoffs. I have heard a
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: little Birdie told me that they Cam is going to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: make an appearance at the beginning of the game. I
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: think he's gonna get them going. I forget what is
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: it that they do in the beginning.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: They bang the drum.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: They banged the drums, So Cam is gonna be banging
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: the drama I heard on Saturday. It's just exciting to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: see Tampa Bay lost this game because they lost heart.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: They lost the last couple of games. Yes, they won
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: the game against him, but they didn't take care of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 5: business earlier. Carolina is up and coming. Kudos to them
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: for making the playoffs. Let's see how far they can go.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just happy for Dave van Ellis, and obviously he
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: goes from Tampa to Carolina. It shows that he was
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: a guy that was able to fix Bright Young. So
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Marvin.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Listen, it was exciting being at the Saints Falcons game
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: this weekend because these are teams who are going nowhere,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: but there's a lot riding on it right in the NFL,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: and I was rooting heavy for my Saints. They couldn't
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: pull it off. Listen, tell you, I heard you mentioned
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: the word hope. Hope is not a strategy. I got
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: a feeling that Matt staff in him boy was like
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: the time out to Carolina and run through y'all. Literally, man,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: let me, let me enjoy these names, right, Don't put
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: no money on it day, don't put no money on
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: none of that.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 9: But no body because honestly, Marvin, yeah, I'm a I'm
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 9: a Panthers fan, but I know a lot of football.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 9: We have a Tyler Shuck problem in the future. Let
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 9: me enjoy this moment, Okay, I hear you.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Man, all right, I'm expecting a good game, actually I am.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: I think I think that Away comes out on top though.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, anybody that I haven't told on with this topic, good,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: all right? Last one of the night that being missed
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: the last national championship. Okay, for remaining college football playoff teams,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Miami got their last one in two thousand and one.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Oh miss nineteen sixty thousand before I was born. Okay, Indiana, Well,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I never had one, and neither has order again. So
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: with that said, Marvin, who's gonna go ahead and break
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: that spell?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: Listen?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: I've been saying all year, especially after we played them,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: that Oregon is a team that don't. No one's talking about.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: But Indiana looks so good. I mean, they look so
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: I mean they kick him, but consistently. I watched them
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: play against Ohio State. I watched them destroy Alabama. Uh
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: and the way that lets you know Alabama is no
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: longer Alabama. Why I've been gone. That's a whole other team.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Our program's different Indiana. Man in Indiana right now is
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: the money that that quarterback is for real. Their offensive
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: line play is for real, their playmaking ability at corner
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: receiver is real. Their defensive front is real. These guys
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: is big, They're tough, they got athletes. Indian's about to
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: come through and make history.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: Candy, I may not have lived in that state very long,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: but they're the ones that are gonna win it. I
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: lived there for a whole year and a half. Indiana's
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: gonna take it as much as I want Miami. I
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: think Indiana's that strong. Fourteen and zero, I mean, they
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: they and like Marvin said, they took care of business
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: against Alabama. They put I mean, yeah, I think I
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: think Indiana's gonna take it.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 9: Tony, Oh, once again, I'm lean on my hope for
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 9: my Miami Hurricanes. I am hoping that they win, but
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 9: I feel like they'll come up short and they will
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 9: play their first they will be the first team to
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 9: play the National Championship game at home. But I do
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 9: think that they lose to Indiana. Indiana just looks like
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: a well oil machine. They look like what Alabama used
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: to look like. And I'm I'm a fan of history
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 9: and dominant teams, and I kind of want to see
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 9: them be the first team to go sixteen and up.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: That was a loaded re spines. I like it, very
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: good stuff. Tony Golad Scott Well.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 6: I'm a big believer in Kirk Signetti. I like what
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: he's done in Indiana. I like Mendoza, good kid, but
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: not so fast. Miami Hurricanes are gonna win the National Championship.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: You heard it here.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 6: First, They're gonna take care of business against the Old
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 6: miss on Thursday, and then come January nineteenth, whether they
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 6: play Indiana or we have the Mario Crystal Ball bull
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 6: and they play Oregon, we're gonna win it.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm doubling up with you. Remember, once
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: upon a time, the Miami Hurricanes were underdogs in Nebraska
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: back in the day with Howard Fellenberger, Well, they played
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: that game in Miami at the Orange Bowl some reason
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: or another. If Miami, well, when Miami hopefully gets there,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: they'll be playing at hard Rock Stadium, and you're gonna
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: see an awful lot of Hurricane fans there. I'm going
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: with the Canes to I have a hard time. I
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: know that Kurk Signetti is a story of the year.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: I get it. You knows, maybe he will win it.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: But Miami or at hard Rock Stadium in a championship game,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: that's just too difficult for me to go against it,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: really truly is all right? That does it for this
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: edition to the Sports Exchange. With that said, Okay, Marvin
