- 2:02Speaker 2: of the show, but you know these days Rick has
- 2:05Speaker 2: something in common with who did he disappeared? But he
- 2:08Speaker 2: was certainly an asset to the show we had him.
- 2:10Speaker 2: And another guy who was really important is the one
- 2:13Speaker 2: to send the underneath me is Jacob Christner. You want
- 2:17Speaker 2: to talk about the new mister opinion, But.
- 2:20Speaker 1: No, miss I missed the fact, and I am Taylor.

- 2:29Speaker 1: fun with it, you know, just like me.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah, Jacob Christmas in the book too, though, Jacob was
- 2:37Speaker 2: what he's done a heck of a job at the
- 2:39Speaker 2: time i've known him. I've read it, send it to
- 2:41Speaker 2: him and he's read it too. So Jacob, glad you're
- 2:43Speaker 2: in it and you're on your way into the next one.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Ralph to turn your way in But okay, we still
- 2:49Speaker 2: have time by the end of the year. But Jacob's
- 2:51Speaker 2: in it, George, and of course everybody else is part
- 2:54Speaker 2: of the show for the most part, they should be there.
- 2:56Speaker 2: So Ralph, you have a lot of goals to look
- 2:57Speaker 2: forward to tonight. Your only goal is but we're going
- 3:00Speaker 2: to take care of business, and that's putting out a
- 3:02Speaker 2: first class show. I know you can delave that. So
- 3:05Speaker 2: our title here is Hong Kong Goltender since new world record.
- 3:10Speaker 2: We're going to start off with that. We have a
- 3:11Speaker 2: lot of other interesting topics as well. We have a
- 3:14Speaker 2: new world record fifty two year old goalie Emerson Quain
- 3:18Speaker 2: says the record as the oldest goaltender to ever play
- 3:23Speaker 2: in a two AHF Men's World Championship. Fifty two years old. People, Jacob,
- 3:29Speaker 2: what are your thoughts about mister Klang.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Well, A, the thing is about it is like fifty
- 3:36Speaker 1: is almost a new thirty or forty.
- 3:38Speaker 2: The way the health.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Is, the way fitness is completely and utterly. But one
- 3:42Speaker 1: of the biggest things to understand is it's goaltending. If
- 3:47Speaker 1: he was mind you, it just depends on your team.
- 3:50Speaker 1: If the team is horrible and he has to dive
- 3:52Speaker 1: across the golden and everything like that and he has
- 3:55Speaker 1: to bang himself up, then it's bad. But how good
- 3:58Speaker 1: is his team? If it's team is really really good,
- 4:01Speaker 1: he doesn't have to do anything. He can stand there.
- 4:03Speaker 1: But those are the things. But if nothing else, though,
- 4:06Speaker 1: you got to realize it's just fitness, you know, fifty
- 4:10Speaker 1: two to go whatever. I saw Ron van Cleef years
- 4:14Speaker 1: ago face Hooyst Gracie in one of the first UFC's
- 4:16Speaker 1: he was fifty one. Now he's eighty five and still
- 4:19Speaker 1: has abs. So I mean, the biggest thing is this
- 4:23Speaker 1: isn't the time. This isn't the time anymore where age
- 4:27Speaker 1: really matters unless you make it matter.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Nevertheless, fifty two years old playing goaltending, it's a pretty
- 4:34Speaker 2: interesting Accountlis.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Oh, you're you're correct. I was just thinking, like if
- 4:39Speaker 1: I was just thinking though, if the team, like for instance,
- 4:41Speaker 1: his offense keeps it on the other side of the
- 4:43Speaker 1: field and he gets a stand in the majority of time,
- 4:45Speaker 1: that's great. If he's diving and banging himself up from
- 4:48Speaker 1: a deal and trying to save the thing, it's going
- 4:50Speaker 1: to affect him quick. But either way it's still awesome.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Well, I remember when Gordy Howe was fifty two, he
- 4:56Speaker 2: was playing for the Detroit Planker. So there you got.
- 5:00Speaker 2: You can't remember that over the palace, And we'll give
- 5:04Speaker 2: Ralph Williams a stammana since he's a new guy on
- 5:06Speaker 2: the block tonight.
- 5:08Speaker 7: All right, Uh, well, you know what, it's not just
- 5:11Speaker 7: a league record, it's not just any record.
- 5:14Speaker 8: It's a world's record. And there's not a lot.
- 5:17Speaker 7: Of people out there that can say that I broke
- 5:20Speaker 7: a world's record. This guy's fifty two years old and
- 5:24Speaker 7: he's goaltending and he and he beat and he he
- 5:29Speaker 7: has to Ginness Book a world record for goaltending at
- 5:32Speaker 7: the age of fifty two.
- 5:34Speaker 8: What a what a spectacular thing.
- 5:36Speaker 7: I mean, I could see if it was a league record,
- 5:39Speaker 7: or if it was even a small Hall of Fame
- 5:41Speaker 7: or something.
- 5:42Speaker 1: This is the world.
- 5:43Speaker 7: This is the time here that this guy is now
- 5:46Speaker 7: involved in and and has put his name in the
- 5:50Speaker 7: record for a world's record.
- 5:53Speaker 6: Taylor, I chef stands for hockey. So uh, it's amazing
- 6:03Speaker 6: a fifty two year old would set a goaltender up
- 6:06Speaker 6: in hockey, would set a record like this. It even
- 6:15Speaker 6: tops dominic like any joke cold goaltenders like uh, of
- 6:20Speaker 6: all time, like Terry Sadchuk, Domina Kashak Patrick Wah, other
- 6:28Speaker 6: guys like Curtis. Yeah, yeah, I could go on and on,
- 6:32Speaker 6: but it's it's amazing that it beats the oldest goaltenders.
- 6:39Speaker 6: Of course, that is elite. That's no any Joe goaltender
- 6:48Speaker 6: could could top that.
- 6:52Speaker 2: That's true.
- 6:52Speaker 1: All right, Well there years old, Taylor, those guys you
- 6:55Speaker 1: were mentioning, you know, it's like this is fifty two,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason you are correct. I
- 7:00Speaker 1: was thinking soccer. You're right at hockey. But it's still
- 7:03Speaker 1: the main thing about it is the fact that I
- 7:06Speaker 1: still say, if you have a really good offense, keeps
- 7:08Speaker 1: the puck all the way at the other end, kind
- 7:10Speaker 1: of it saves him, you know, I mean, it saves
- 7:12Speaker 1: him from getting it right.
- 7:13Speaker 7: Jacob, you brought up a good point about the fitness.
- 7:17Speaker 7: I mean, nowadays you know, you could get you could
- 7:20Speaker 7: be fit at fifty two and be able to really,
- 7:23Speaker 7: you know, perform well like this guy. And you know
- 7:27Speaker 7: it's great to hear that he's doing it at this age.
- 7:30Speaker 7: I mean, you know, you don't see too many people
- 7:33Speaker 7: doing it at that age.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Absolutely like turn over to George.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what, fifty two is nothing to
- 7:43Speaker 3: sneeze at it. But he only broke the record by
- 7:45Speaker 3: one year. There was another guy named Anthony London who
- 7:50Speaker 3: participated when he was fifty one years old back in
- 7:53Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. But I'm telling you what, this guy
- 7:57Speaker 3: is sharp as a tag. He made nine saves on
- 8:02Speaker 3: ten shots in a seventeen to two win, as you
- 8:05Speaker 3: mentioned Scott in the men's World Championship game. Now people
- 8:09Speaker 3: forget too sometimes because the Stanley Cup playoffs are going on,
- 8:12Speaker 3: but there's all kinds of teams competing, all kinds of
- 8:14Speaker 3: countries in this tournament. That is a prestigious event. Okay,
- 8:18Speaker 3: it's not as big as the Olympics, not as big
- 8:20Speaker 3: as what they would call the World Cup from days
- 8:22Speaker 3: gone by World Hockey, you know, type of matchups, or
- 8:27Speaker 3: even the four Nations. But this event, the II age
- 8:31Speaker 3: is a big one all around the world. So halfs
- 8:34Speaker 3: off to you, mister Emerson King k e u NJ
- 8:39Speaker 3: kanungg yeah nanks job. By the way, in Detroit, Scott,
- 8:47Speaker 3: there are a couple of guys I hate to mention Detroit,
- 8:50Speaker 3: but just just real briefly, Frank Beckman played goal sportscaster
- 8:55Speaker 3: and another sports caest that his name escapes me. But
- 8:58Speaker 3: I know there have been some guys in their fifties
- 9:01Speaker 3: that that I've known here. But crystals are pickup leagus.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Those are not international competitions, right, yeah.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Yeah, you hate to say Detroit, but you do it anyways,
- 9:10Speaker 2: really certainly.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Really, Hey, Frank Beppert's a Hall of Fame announcer.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I don't care about Frank because I really don't give
- 9:17Speaker 2: a lick about him. He did nothing for me. He
- 9:20Speaker 2: can rest in peace, but I have nothing to do
- 9:22Speaker 2: with the guy. I personally like Jim Brand or better.
- 9:24Speaker 6: Anyways, I had a voice there.
- 9:27Speaker 2: You go, all right, so Candy will turn it over
- 9:29Speaker 2: to you. Have a lot more to get to here
- 9:30Speaker 2: on the sorts of change.
- 9:32Speaker 5: So he's the oldest player to ever play in the
- 9:38Speaker 5: IIHF Men's World Championship, not just goaltender, but oldest player.
- 9:44Speaker 5: To imagine that the oldest player is a goaltender when
- 9:48Speaker 5: that is such demanding and you know, the hand eye coordination,
- 9:56Speaker 5: the quickness, the toughness. Yes, fifty two is the new whatever,
- 10:02Speaker 5: thirty or whatever. But you know, I don't know, but
- 10:06Speaker 5: your reaction time goes down. I'm just impressed that he
- 10:11Speaker 5: could do it at age fifty two. Not an easy feat,
- 10:16Speaker 5: especially such a demanding sport like hockey.
- 10:20Speaker 2: Fair enough, let's move on. We're just stay in Indiana.
- 10:22Speaker 2: I've had a couple of ton I have a couple
- 10:25Speaker 2: topics strictly for Jacob christ And I'm telling you I know,
- 10:30Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have a couple, but you'll have to
- 10:32Speaker 2: wait one or two segments to do it. Okay. David Letterman,
- 10:35Speaker 2: a Ball State University alumnus, chandlist the Letterman Telecom Scholarships
- 10:40Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty five to support students majoring and minoring
- 10:45Speaker 2: and telecommunications. He created a scholarship for the average c student,
- 10:50Speaker 2: recognizing that it's not all about Marx. Some are actual
- 10:56Speaker 2: ordinary and some are amazing in other ways. Okay, you
- 11:00Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna turn off and Jake ub on
- 11:02Speaker 2: this when you think about what the what David Letterman
- 11:05Speaker 2: is doing.
- 11:05Speaker 1: You know that's a good thing because see, this is
- 11:08Speaker 1: the big deal. The C students are more likely than
- 11:10Speaker 1: ones that are gonna be the multi multimillionaires billionaires and
- 11:13Speaker 1: get everything done. They really are. You've got to realize
- 11:16Speaker 1: a lot of a students. This is the thing about school.
- 11:19Speaker 1: School is obedience not necessarily smart.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:23Speaker 1: It's like it's when you go in there every single
- 11:26Speaker 1: day is okay, can you study? Can you pay attention?
- 11:29Speaker 1: Can you all this stuff? I mean I personally meet
- 11:31Speaker 1: with school. I was b's and c's, but I can
- 11:34Speaker 1: tell you this. I'm a master speller, so and that's
- 11:37Speaker 1: just that it is the truth. I mean, I see
- 11:39Speaker 1: spelling word once, I got a pride. But that's the
- 11:42Speaker 1: thing is like that spelling was so easy for me.
- 11:46Speaker 1: It was crazy. I was spelling at four years old.
- 11:49Speaker 1: But other things it was boring to me. There was
- 11:52Speaker 1: things that was boring. So I didn't pay as much
- 11:54Speaker 1: attention and I would jab it and stuff like that.
- 11:56Speaker 1: That's where a lot of things come around. That's where
- 11:58Speaker 1: a lot of seas come Just a lot of people
- 12:00Speaker 1: just don't want to pay attention in school. If or
- 12:03Speaker 1: the teacher's boring. So but guess what, Okay, I'll give
- 12:06Speaker 1: you another example. You guys remember Calvin and Hobbes.
- 12:10Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I got a lot of those books.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:13Speaker 1: The whole idea of Calvin and Hobbes is this guy,
- 12:17Speaker 1: this kid knows dinosaurs, he knows things like he knows
- 12:21Speaker 1: different mathematician things, but he doesn't know two plus two.
- 12:23Speaker 1: It's because miss Warmwood is not a very good teacher
- 12:27Speaker 1: and can't keep his attention and he But the big
- 12:31Speaker 1: thing about this is he's also very very smart. But
- 12:33Speaker 1: you also have parents that do not understand that kind
- 12:35Speaker 1: of world in nineteen eighty five. But the biggest thing
- 12:39Speaker 1: is we have a different world now where you do
- 12:42Speaker 1: do this. But that is the main thing, is you
- 12:44Speaker 1: need to have these kind of scholarships because for everything,
- 12:49Speaker 1: it's like those kind of kids, that kind of stuff
- 12:52Speaker 1: that he wants for his kind of scholarship. He wants
- 12:55Speaker 1: that one that might be that good, but it's not
- 12:58Speaker 1: in his school, you know, that kind of that kind
- 13:01Speaker 1: of top of it, that kind of thing that hem
- 13:03Speaker 1: that one might want to do, it's not in the
- 13:05Speaker 1: school or they don't have the proper teaching. So the
- 13:07Speaker 1: C student is usually just the one not paying attention.
- 13:10Speaker 1: And I'll bet you Letterman was that too.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And just you know, Jacob, I was always a B
- 13:16Speaker 2: and C student in college. I worked my way and
- 13:19Speaker 2: paid my way through college, so I defined colleges winning ugly.
- 13:23Speaker 2: But I still got the job done and got the ring,
- 13:26Speaker 2: so I can appreciate that. Another thing too, Jacob, I
- 13:28Speaker 2: was a pretty good filler too. But I was awful
- 13:30Speaker 2: at math, believe it at that.
- 13:32Speaker 1: So I'm a numbers I'm a numbers guy, but just
- 13:35Speaker 1: an algebra. I was just using the numbers to carry
- 13:37Speaker 1: them and everything. So it's like I was kind of
- 13:40Speaker 1: cheating through that, but it's but it's just like everything else.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I probably could have gotten straight a's, but I was bored.
- 13:46Speaker 1: And I see what Letterman's doing.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Yeah, Letterman's dooing is unbelievable, and that's why I made this.
- 13:52Speaker 2: So let me tell you one thing. I've learned a
- 13:53Speaker 2: lot for people that I've gotten to know, Bob Lee,
- 13:57Speaker 2: And the one thing bob Le defines certal is the
- 14:00Speaker 2: fact that I'm not looking for clicks with these shows.
- 14:02Speaker 2: I'm more interested in coming up with old school of journalism.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Topics that you're going to see on this show that
- 14:08Speaker 2: you wouldn't anywhere else. And I met Bobly, took both
- 14:11Speaker 2: of them, talked to him. He's truly unbelievable and Bobbly.
- 14:14Speaker 2: If you're looking for a role model in the announcing business,
- 14:17Speaker 2: Bobbly is that. Candy. Bob and I had a really
- 14:20Speaker 2: good time when we were up in North Carolina and
- 14:22Speaker 2: I was reading something over today. So I don't clich
- 14:25Speaker 2: air five views and all that business, but I want
- 14:27Speaker 2: to come up with topics that nobody out there, well
- 14:30Speaker 2: have you got. This is a good thing for you
- 14:32Speaker 2: to spun Ralph and everybody else. There's a fact you
- 14:35Speaker 2: got three or four million different podcasts out there. But
- 14:38Speaker 2: if we can all be different, come up with different
- 14:39Speaker 2: types of topics, we're ahead of the game than anything else.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Just a little bit of a lesson I've learned it.
- 14:44Speaker 2: So with that said, I'll turn over to Taylor.
- 14:48Speaker 6: So David Letterman, is are we talking about a talk
- 14:52Speaker 6: show host or are we talking about a different David Letterman?
- 14:57Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, So yeah, like Jacob pointing out, school,
- 15:01Speaker 6: it's about obedience, but it's about also education of course,
- 15:09Speaker 6: high school, high school college all all that stuff. You
- 15:14Speaker 6: got to be able to not just remember stuff, but
- 15:17Speaker 6: understand the entire material whichever subject you're studying, so and
- 15:24Speaker 6: that and that's uh, that's why David let Himan paved
- 15:27Speaker 6: the way for all those students and gave them an
- 15:32Speaker 6: opportunity to flourish and move and move on with their
- 15:38Speaker 6: great lives.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And you're right there, Taylor. And the big thing about
- 15:42Speaker 1: it is his best buddy before they had that falling
- 15:45Speaker 1: out was let know, I know what the what the student?
- 15:49Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 15:49Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like he was a student either. The
- 15:52Speaker 1: the thing about it is these are comedians and their
- 15:56Speaker 1: main thing is timing people and making people, you know,
- 16:00Speaker 1: all stuff, watching your money, people, the skills, all that
- 16:04Speaker 1: kind of deal. These are things you don't learn in school.
- 16:07Speaker 1: These are things you just don't learn in school. You
- 16:08Speaker 1: learn that life. So I get what Letterman's doing on that.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Hi, Ralph, and your thoughts.
- 16:15Speaker 7: My thoughts are David Letterman is a pioneer, and you know,
- 16:19Speaker 7: he's been with two networks. He was with NBC and CBS,
- 16:23Speaker 7: and I admire him for what he's doing. Look, I
- 16:26Speaker 7: didn't go to college. I went to Columbia School of broadcasting.
- 16:30Speaker 7: That is where Bob U Banks went to school. And
- 16:32Speaker 7: look at where Bob you Banks ended up, okay, and
- 16:36Speaker 7: compared to where I ended up. But I mean still,
- 16:39Speaker 7: you know, Bob U Banks went to that school and
- 16:42Speaker 7: I went to Columbia School of Broadcasting. I graduated with
- 16:45Speaker 7: a B grade. But I didn't go to a big college.
- 16:49Speaker 7: I didn't I wasn't into journalism. I just wanted to
- 16:52Speaker 7: be a broadcast I just wanted to be a DJ.
- 16:54Speaker 7: That's really all I wanted to do. And then I
- 16:57Speaker 7: started listening to the talk radio and I said, oh my.
- 17:00Speaker 8: Like this.
- 17:00Speaker 7: I just wish that there was somebody like David Letterman
- 17:03Speaker 7: around when I was trying to get into the business
- 17:06Speaker 7: at the beginning of my life. You know, when I
- 17:09Speaker 7: was in my twenties and I was trying to get
- 17:10Speaker 7: into this business. I wish he was around to for
- 17:14Speaker 7: a scholarship to a school and I could, I could
- 17:16Speaker 7: have went. I was a C student in the high school.
- 17:19Speaker 7: I was never I was an average student. I was
- 17:21Speaker 7: never anything. But I did graduate with a BEE from
- 17:25Speaker 7: Chlemery School Broadcasting. And I'm happy that David Letterman is
- 17:29Speaker 7: doing something. A lot of comedians and broadcasters and people
- 17:33Speaker 7: like that. He not only was a comedian, he was
- 17:35Speaker 7: a broadcaster. I mean he interviewed people.
- 17:38Speaker 8: He also made people laugh, and he was also serious
- 17:41Speaker 8: about some things as well. But he had a great show.
- 17:44Speaker 7: He had two great shows, one on NBC and the
- 17:48Speaker 7: other one on CBS.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Hey, George, well yeah, I mean, the guy's a millionaire.
- 17:55Speaker 3: We know that. Okay, He's made his life in television,
- 17:58Speaker 3: but it is a good thing for him to give
- 17:59Speaker 3: some of that to the next generation. David's been been
- 18:05Speaker 3: a great talent, let's say, for so many decades, as
- 18:09Speaker 3: you guys know, starting out, you know, as Johnny Carson's
- 18:14Speaker 3: replacement at times when he was on vacation. But you know,
- 18:19Speaker 3: Letterman's got a lot of money. He's very involved in
- 18:21Speaker 3: auto racing motorsports too, with the Letterman Ray Hall team.
- 18:25Speaker 3: And I've heard many stories about people. And there's another
- 18:29Speaker 3: one too. His name is Stan the Man Musial. He
- 18:32Speaker 3: left a bunch of money to the Polish Sports Hall
- 18:35Speaker 3: of Fame and every year the Polish Sports Hall of
- 18:38Speaker 3: Fame gives away six or seven scholarships. So I'm saying
- 18:43Speaker 3: there's a lot of this that goes on. Maybe that
- 18:46Speaker 3: we don't all know about, but it's needed. Let's face it, folks,
- 18:50Speaker 3: the tuition prices are so damn high. Cost of going
- 18:54Speaker 3: to college nowadays are so high, all the expenses. So
- 18:58Speaker 3: the more we can help the kids out, the young
- 19:00Speaker 3: men and women that are trying to get into our
- 19:02Speaker 3: business and other things too, not just journalism. I'm all
- 19:06Speaker 3: for it. So hats off to David, Hats off to
- 19:08Speaker 3: stand Demand and all the other people that have contributed,
- 19:12Speaker 3: you know, for student scholarships like that.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Great point, George gland Candy, Really good point.
- 19:18Speaker 5: George Lutterman's scholarship specifically rewards creativity and innovation, challenging the
- 19:27Speaker 5: traditional notion that academic excellence is the only path to success.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Applicants must submit a creative project, such as the website,
- 19:38Speaker 5: interactive media, writing, or graphic design, showcasing their abilities. The
- 19:45Speaker 5: scholarship provides financial assistance for tuition, room and board, and
- 19:50Speaker 5: other educational expenses at ball State. The winner receives ten
- 19:54Speaker 5: thousand dollars, the first runner up receives five thousand dollars,
- 19:59Speaker 5: and the second.
- 20:00Speaker 4: Runner up receives Wait.
- 20:03Speaker 5: For this, Scott, this is your number, three thousand, three
- 20:07Speaker 5: hundred and thirty.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Three dollars stake.
- 20:12Speaker 8: Nige, no a trace. There you go.
- 20:19Speaker 5: But how cool is that that he rewards three different people,
- 20:22Speaker 5: you know, and that he's recognizing creativity because that's something
- 20:27Speaker 5: that in today's day and age, I mean, let's face it,
- 20:31Speaker 5: creative media, creative marketing, like, there's so much that you
- 20:35Speaker 5: can do with that. Kudos for him recognizing that there
- 20:41Speaker 5: is talent out there that doesn't have to always be
- 20:43Speaker 5: getting a's and being the top grade people. I applaud
- 20:49Speaker 5: him for that. And that comes from a daughter of
- 20:53Speaker 5: an educator, so I grew up. My dad was a
- 20:56Speaker 5: high school teacher, so I come from that kind of
- 21:00Speaker 5: a background. I love the fact that they do. He
- 21:04Speaker 5: does scholarships for not just the the really really smart
- 21:08Speaker 5: kids that get really really great candy.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Candy, let me say this part. It doesn't mean really
- 21:13Speaker 1: really smart kids. It means the ones that I mean,
- 21:16Speaker 1: because a lot of them. By itself, I said this
- 21:19Speaker 1: what I was, As I said, reading a three and
- 21:22Speaker 1: spelling a four, I should have been a straight A student.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I probably should have if you we go by logic.
- 21:28Speaker 1: But my thing was there was just things that bored me.
- 21:31Speaker 1: It's like I had one teacher that I really paid
- 21:34Speaker 1: attention to in classes that helped me out through things.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Everybody else was you.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Know, just I mean, and it's just.
- 21:43Speaker 1: And those are the things. It's like we can say
- 21:46Speaker 1: something like that. I think there are probably some masterful,
- 21:50Speaker 1: smart kids, the smart kids that got f's and it's
- 21:53Speaker 1: just being truthful. It's like, it's just probably the bored.
- 21:56Speaker 1: I think I've been a tutor, mentor of better basketball coach.
- 21:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that again. And the one thing about
- 22:02Speaker 1: it is a lot of it's just their border. Teachers
- 22:04Speaker 1: are just doing They're kind of just rolling through the
- 22:06Speaker 1: thing they've been through fifteen years or tired. They don't know,
- 22:10Speaker 1: you know, it's like you got to love what they
- 22:11Speaker 1: I'm just and not a thing. I know what you say,
- 22:13Speaker 1: because you're an educator's daughter, you know what I mean,
- 22:16Speaker 1: you really are, so I understand that part.
- 22:18Speaker 8: That's just the thing I have my experience, you know, Yeah,
- 22:21Speaker 8: I like I like these requirements.
- 22:24Speaker 7: And Candy brings up a great point about the fact
- 22:26Speaker 7: that there's all this multimedia out there now, and Scott
- 22:29Speaker 7: will tell you in his book that there's more and
- 22:32Speaker 7: more stuff going on now than it was back even
- 22:36Speaker 7: when I.
- 22:36Speaker 8: Was in school for broadcasting.
- 22:38Speaker 7: I mean, you got social media, you got marketing, you
- 22:41Speaker 7: got everything going on right now with communication and and
- 22:46Speaker 7: and and just all types of stuff that you know,
- 22:49Speaker 7: somebody who who who wants to resurrect their career could
- 22:53Speaker 7: come back and do that now with all these multimedia
- 22:57Speaker 7: platforms and and it's just great that there's someone opportunities
- 23:00Speaker 7: out there now more than ever.
- 23:03Speaker 9: You know, ralph'sb you how you just said that, Okay
- 23:05Speaker 9: that actually I have to give you a pet on
- 23:07Speaker 9: the pack. I'm not used to it, so sometimes I
- 23:09Speaker 9: have to do it because I really, you know, in
- 23:11Speaker 9: my mind to do it. Don't take it to your
- 23:13Speaker 9: head and big head.
- 23:16Speaker 2: On the head now I will. Yeah, he's all the
- 23:19Speaker 2: way up in Ocean City. That's all right, don't don't
- 23:21Speaker 2: don't show the Ralph. That's okay anyways, but don't get
- 23:25Speaker 2: a big head. But you know what, Ralph, with all
- 23:29Speaker 2: due respect, one of the things I do a lot
- 23:30Speaker 2: during the day as I study the different areas in
- 23:33Speaker 2: five ways that we can get to show on lots
- 23:35Speaker 2: of different platforms. So you made that comment, Ralph, you
- 23:38Speaker 2: were really on target with that, because, like anything else,
- 23:42Speaker 2: you always want to see how far you can expand
- 23:44Speaker 2: your reach, and I talk about that in my book
- 23:47Speaker 2: at a little Different ways to get YouTube subscribers and
- 23:50Speaker 2: YouTube are part of it. It's just a fraction of
- 23:52Speaker 2: what it is. We've seen the developments all year with
- 23:54Speaker 2: blog radio going out of business. One would have thought
- 23:57Speaker 2: that was it. But my point is, as your right,
- 24:00Speaker 2: there are so many different platforms you have to find
- 24:03Speaker 2: way which one gets you. The biggest bang for your
- 24:05Speaker 2: buck is that you have to literally do and it's
- 24:08Speaker 2: all trial and error. There's no rhyme and reason how
- 24:11Speaker 2: you figure it out. You just have to be hands on,
- 24:14Speaker 2: daying in, day out. Now, George, you talked about Johnny Carson.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Back in nineteen eighty four, I went to the Olympic
- 24:21Speaker 2: Games and my longtime mentor, Andy Loscano was working at
- 24:27Speaker 2: NBC affiliate and he actually gave me a tour behind
- 24:31Speaker 2: and Johnny Carson's studio was just unbelievable, which would have
- 24:34Speaker 2: had camera phone back then, So yeah, it really was unbelievable.
- 24:37Speaker 2: I mean it really truly was when you have a
- 24:40Speaker 2: chance to see it all back then, but which we
- 24:43Speaker 2: would have had camera phones, but now we have cameras.
- 24:45Speaker 2: That said, let's keep them along good case of the show.
- 24:48Speaker 2: I know that these are two targets topics. I knew
- 24:51Speaker 2: that we would spend a fair amount of time on
- 24:52Speaker 2: why not David Letter on the loner, the goaltender that's
- 24:57Speaker 2: getting AARP discounts, and probably who knows what he has
- 25:01Speaker 2: for life Insurancey's probably getting out there on Kong. I
- 25:04Speaker 2: don't know if they out there, but we'll stay in
- 25:07Speaker 2: Indiana for the moment. Indiana Fever have hit the one
- 25:10Speaker 2: million followers on Facebook, the first w NBA team to
- 25:13Speaker 2: do so on any social media platform from and this
- 25:18Speaker 2: comes from Front Office Sport. So okay, Jacob again, I'm
- 25:22Speaker 2: gonna lead off with you all your thoughts about the
- 25:23Speaker 2: Fever getting a million follows on Facebook.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I mean, two thousand are probably Caitlin Clark and the
- 25:31Speaker 1: other eighteen dollars between everybody else. But good for them.
- 25:36Speaker 1: But it's like we're now seeing weird. You know, this
- 25:41Speaker 1: news came just just just before she got hurt, So
- 25:44Speaker 1: we got a couple of games, about three to four
- 25:45Speaker 1: games out for her, and we're the news came just
- 25:50Speaker 1: at the right time because right now they're saying some
- 25:52Speaker 1: of the ticket prices are absolutely cratering. It's just one
- 25:56Speaker 1: of the things like that. I don't will these people
- 26:00Speaker 1: continue to say that she got herself hurt regularly or
- 26:03Speaker 1: any kind of thing. Will they bail out? Is it
- 26:05Speaker 1: Caitlyn or is it the whole team and that's the thing,
- 26:09Speaker 1: or would they bail out? And let's say she went
- 26:10Speaker 1: to the Connecticut Sun next, or she went to the
- 26:13Speaker 1: Sparks next. Would they switch it over? That's a big question.
- 26:16Speaker 1: But congratulations to them nonetheless.
- 26:19Speaker 6: Taylor, Yeah, simple two words. Caitlyn Clark. That's and that's
- 26:26Speaker 6: that's the main reason why the Indiana Fever just absolutely skyrocket.
- 26:32Speaker 6: That skyrocketed the amount of followers enough said there.
- 26:37Speaker 8: Well yeah, it's not I follow Taylor there.
- 26:40Speaker 7: But you know something, this is actually good publicity based
- 26:45Speaker 7: on what we saw a few a week or two
- 26:47Speaker 7: back when when they had that that that situation with
- 26:50Speaker 7: Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark and it went on social
- 26:53Speaker 7: media and it was all over the place. This is
- 26:55Speaker 7: actually good news, positive news for the Indiana Fever up
- 27:00Speaker 7: with Caitlin Clark being there, this is great.
- 27:02Speaker 8: I'm glad that they're doing.
- 27:04Speaker 7: And it works for the WNBA too, because we've said
- 27:07Speaker 7: this many times, Scott. I've heard you on this on
- 27:10Speaker 7: your shows many times. Everyone on this panel has probably
- 27:15Speaker 7: said about how the WNBA needs to up their game
- 27:19Speaker 7: to market themselves better and things like that.
- 27:22Speaker 8: Now this is a positive thing here that they have
- 27:24Speaker 8: all these followers.
- 27:26Speaker 7: It takes away the negative of what happened a week
- 27:29Speaker 7: or so ago, and it blocks that out and now
- 27:32Speaker 7: here's a positive thing that's going on, another positive other
- 27:35Speaker 7: than Kaitlin Clark.
- 27:37Speaker 2: George.
- 27:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it goes without saying that this is
- 27:42Speaker 3: one of the most prominent female athletes to burst onto
- 27:45Speaker 3: the American sports seeing guys in years, and there have
- 27:49Speaker 3: been some great ones as far as basketball goes. You know,
- 27:53Speaker 3: there's a love affair going on right now, well or
- 27:56Speaker 3: should I say love slash hate affair. I hate to
- 27:59Speaker 3: use the word hate, but I mean there are people that, uh,
- 28:02Speaker 3: you know, I think she's maybe a little bit too
- 28:05Speaker 3: pushy or aggressive. All they have to say. I hope,
- 28:08Speaker 3: I hope those numbers stick. I think it bodes well
- 28:11Speaker 3: for the w n b A. As you guys know,
- 28:13Speaker 3: the league's been around over a quarter of a century already,
- 28:16Speaker 3: and it's still those baby steps got to be a
- 28:20Speaker 3: little bit bigger and all that over the last several years.
- 28:23Speaker 3: But I mean, what she's done and her team to
- 28:27Speaker 3: put basketball on the map and and attracts all out
- 28:30Speaker 3: crowds and good television numbers is phenomenal. And I think
- 28:34Speaker 3: that just because she's hurt for I'm gonna miss a
- 28:37Speaker 3: few games, I don't see any slacking off with you know,
- 28:41Speaker 3: with the enthusiasm for for the w n B A
- 28:44Speaker 3: or for the Indiana Fever.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Candy.
- 28:51Speaker 5: So the Fever continue to break records with Clark at
- 28:56Speaker 5: the forefront.
- 28:57Speaker 4: So not only are they breaking this, for instance.
- 29:01Speaker 5: Forty one of the Fevers forty four games this season
- 29:04Speaker 5: will be nationally televised, which is also a record. It's
- 29:08Speaker 5: about time that women's sports continue to grow and to
- 29:14Speaker 5: continue to be popular. Their Instagram account has about seven
- 29:20Speaker 5: hundred thousand watch they'll.
- 29:23Speaker 4: Be the first one to a million on Instagram as
- 29:25Speaker 4: far as teams go, too.
- 29:28Speaker 5: I think it's exciting. However you want to dice it,
- 29:33Speaker 5: however you want to say, whatever the reason is that
- 29:36Speaker 5: we're talking about this, you know, whether it be Kate
- 29:39Speaker 5: and Clark and how she started in Iowa and how
- 29:42Speaker 5: it you know, progressed it doesn't matter. We're talking about it,
- 29:47Speaker 5: and that's the important thing. I love the fact that
- 29:49Speaker 5: we're bringing women's sports to the forefront.
- 29:53Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing and then we're going to
- 29:55Speaker 2: go one more topic. And actually the one we're going
- 29:57Speaker 2: to go to is our Pundit's Pundits segment. Get to go, Jacob.
- 30:01Speaker 2: But Paige Beckers, it will take her a while to
- 30:04Speaker 2: get to those numbers. Really well. She's with the Dallas
- 30:07Speaker 2: Wings right now, not a very good team, and I
- 30:11Speaker 2: believe that Caitlin Clark has more talent around her. I'll
- 30:16Speaker 2: do more WNBA stuff as time goes on. I've always
- 30:20Speaker 2: thought that Caitlin Clark should be treated with way more
- 30:23Speaker 2: respect than she's getting right now. I don't like it
- 30:27Speaker 2: at all. She was left off the US Olympic team recently.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I think that was a big mistake. I really do.
- 30:35Speaker 2: That will be for another night of US Jacob wants
- 30:38Speaker 2: to comment on it.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was a mistake by itself, but
- 30:42Speaker 1: she'd also played in Iowa, went straight for Indiana, played
- 30:45Speaker 1: in the playoffs.
- 30:46Speaker 2: She needed the rest, right, I get that, but it
- 30:48Speaker 2: was still a mistake when I totally understand, but Beckers
- 30:54Speaker 2: is the future of the league. I think the only
- 30:56Speaker 2: thing I wondered about Page right now is just making
- 30:58Speaker 2: sure she her injury history hasn't worked in her favor
- 31:02Speaker 2: at all, and that's the thing I want to find
- 31:04Speaker 2: out from paid. But Caitlin Clark is the face of
- 31:08Speaker 2: this league. No if answer about it, period And that's
- 31:13Speaker 2: why what Candy brings up the impressive number about Instagram
- 31:16Speaker 2: at seven hundred thousand. If she hit a millionaire, you
- 31:19Speaker 2: can rest assure I'll incorporate that. And how about you, guys,
- 31:22Speaker 2: So I'm gonna ask you a question, not on point,
- 31:25Speaker 2: but what was your favorite ESPN show? Just give me
- 31:28Speaker 2: one basic answer, George, what was your favorite ESPN show?
- 31:33Speaker 3: Well, you know, Scott, you know me for forty five years,
- 31:36Speaker 3: and I always want to have the news that I
- 31:38Speaker 3: want to have it now. So it's going to be
- 31:41Speaker 3: Sports Center, all the great guys, the great anchors they've
- 31:43Speaker 3: had over the years. I mean, for me, it's getting
- 31:46Speaker 3: those those highlight packages and getting the recaps of the games.
- 31:51Speaker 2: I don't need a next one. Nation. I asked you
- 31:53Speaker 2: for your favorite show? Set them up?
- 31:58Speaker 3: Sports?
- 31:59Speaker 2: How are you Sports Centers? And I corses all right? Candy.
- 32:06Speaker 5: What was the one that had Bob Lee that we
- 32:08Speaker 5: watched the Sports Reporters?
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah, that was what exactly? Sports reporters? You like that one?
- 32:17Speaker 3: I did?
- 32:17Speaker 2: Okay, what about you, Ralph?
- 32:19Speaker 8: I like the NFL Insiders.
- 32:21Speaker 7: I always loved I love the NFL as it is,
- 32:24Speaker 7: and uh watching the insiders and the great analysts that
- 32:27Speaker 7: are on there, you know, and and and they break
- 32:31Speaker 7: everything down. Sometimes they do a better job than the
- 32:36Speaker 7: NFL network.
- 32:37Speaker 2: I mean real, what did I just do? The icorn?
- 32:42Speaker 8: Yeah? I got to really yeah, seriously.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Really Insiders, you and I corn make easy questions complicated?
- 32:55Speaker 2: Are those headphones working around never minds? Don't answer? Okay?
- 33:02Speaker 2: Go ahead, Taylor, No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go ahead. Yep.
- 33:08Speaker 6: How about around the Horn? It was a fun show
- 33:11Speaker 6: with panelists uh as contestants every every Monday through Friday,
- 33:19Speaker 6: explaining each topic.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Okay, like a contest it's good good enough, Jacob.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Well, I'm a pundit's funded, so it's obviously be outside
- 33:28Speaker 1: the lines.
- 33:31Speaker 6: That was the one.
- 33:33Speaker 2: No, you can't backcheck, you know what? Great mind stick
- 33:35Speaker 2: of Jacob Chris or outside the lines all the way,
- 33:38Speaker 2: Bob we get give me the human interest story and
- 33:42Speaker 2: I always on outside of the lines, reminds you of
- 33:44Speaker 2: sixty minutes and Candy'll tell you how much I want
- 33:46Speaker 2: sixteen minutes. All right, With that said, Okay, now we're
- 33:49Speaker 2: going to transition over to pundit fund it to mister
- 33:51Speaker 2: funded fund it and one tell us what's on your mind, Jacob,
- 33:57Speaker 2: you bringing up the you're breaking up.
- 33:59Speaker 1: The article I sent you. Okay, Taylor, you haven't met
- 34:04Speaker 1: me yet, so you're gonna hear this part. You're in Detroit.
- 34:07Speaker 1: You're in Detroit, correct.
- 34:09Speaker 6: I'm in northern Michigan, between Lake City and McBain, fifteen
- 34:13Speaker 6: minutes east to Cadillac.
- 34:15Speaker 1: I'm a big Bears fan, so you'll know this part.
- 34:17Speaker 1: I also despise and absolutely unmitigatively hate Caleb Williams. You'll
- 34:22Speaker 1: notice this really really fast.
- 34:25Speaker 8: This is the pick of that.
- 34:28Speaker 1: So I'm bringing that up tonight. That's my little deal.
- 34:32Speaker 1: I brought this, the whole situation, the issue I've had.
- 34:38Speaker 1: I brought that. I did an article and it went
- 34:39Speaker 1: into South Florida Tribune about the big thing with Caleb
- 34:43Speaker 1: Williams and the and basically his issues and what people
- 34:47Speaker 1: aren't going to understand the media lied big time about
- 34:53Speaker 1: all of this, and they would lie right away. The
- 34:56Speaker 1: Chicago media especially brought up that they said that he
- 35:01Speaker 1: is he the next James Bond of quarterbacks? Is he unshakable?
- 35:05Speaker 1: Mean while we saw him on that we saw him
- 35:10Speaker 1: on video crying to mommy, you know, with her covering
- 35:14Speaker 1: his face. He says to himself. He cries into his
- 35:18Speaker 1: pillow after over your loss. Where I'm at with this
- 35:24Speaker 1: is the fact that the Bears don't get many chances
- 35:28Speaker 1: to win, especially the last twenty years, and yet the
- 35:32Speaker 1: fans keep falling for it. And that's what my article
- 35:38Speaker 1: was in deep dubbed in the South Florida Tribune. They
- 35:42Speaker 1: keep falling for it. They have They've done this over
- 35:46Speaker 1: and over. So it looks flashy, like you've got a
- 35:48Speaker 1: pretty flashy offense now the tailor, you know, and everything
- 35:52Speaker 1: like that. But you had to work. You didn't have
- 35:54Speaker 1: to get Dan Campbell, but you have to kind of
- 35:55Speaker 1: work way through. They keep wanting something they might win games,
- 36:01Speaker 1: but they're afraid to say it was Kyle Orton as
- 36:04Speaker 1: their quarterback, or Mitchell Trubisky or anyone. By the way,
- 36:08Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky was your your guys just thrown in your side.
- 36:11Speaker 1: It was his it was five of his nine three
- 36:14Speaker 1: hundred yard games is Detroit.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Something like that.
- 36:17Speaker 1: It's some craziness. But the thing is they were the
- 36:23Speaker 1: fans are always afraid, so they always went mutiny if
- 36:27Speaker 1: you didn't get him something, if you didn't get some
- 36:28Speaker 1: flashy Meanwhile, they keep losing. And that's where I am
- 36:33Speaker 1: at on that this has got to stop. This has
- 36:36Speaker 1: got to stop. And it's got to think if the
- 36:38Speaker 1: Bears are going to win because Caleb's not it, Caleb's
- 36:43Speaker 1: at it, and they're going to fail again just because
- 36:46Speaker 1: like and you did a shake in your head, tailor,
- 36:49Speaker 1: you were correct that he's not He's not as unshakeable.
- 36:52Speaker 1: He's not as cool as they want to make him out.
- 36:55Speaker 1: It's kind of the media's whole idea of artificially creating cool,
- 37:01Speaker 1: which that is a bad habit that they do. They
- 37:04Speaker 1: artificially create cool and artificially create enemies based off of
- 37:08Speaker 1: their own based off of their own well is that
- 37:12Speaker 1: you know their feelings. But see, here's the thing, these
- 37:15Speaker 1: are journalists. I'm a pundit. I can have my feelings,
- 37:20Speaker 1: and that's where I'm at. It's gotta quit. And it's
- 37:23Speaker 1: got to stop from the media. It's got to stop
- 37:25Speaker 1: with kob and it's got to stop with the bears.
- 37:27Speaker 1: The end.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Very good? All right, go to the station where candy
- 37:30Speaker 2: go ahead.

- 38:45Speaker 2: Back to you, Scott, All right, Katie, Back to Jacob actually,
- 38:48Speaker 2: and I'll tell you why. Number one. I like to
- 38:52Speaker 2: listen to Jacob's opinion. So I've created a couple of
- 38:54Speaker 2: segments for which you can have them. We obviously know
- 38:57Speaker 2: about funding funded, but this one is strictly for Jake
- 39:00Speaker 2: of all and other people. If you really want to
- 39:01Speaker 2: miss something, fine, but this one's really for Jacob. The
- 39:04Speaker 2: Colorado fan is suing the NFL for one hundred million
- 39:08Speaker 2: dollars over door Sanders Drafts five because of emotional distress
- 39:13Speaker 2: that drama by the Proude quarterback probably round. Oh my god,
- 39:19Speaker 2: I feel so bad. All right, Jacob, tell me how
- 39:22Speaker 2: bad I feel in that case.
- 39:25Speaker 1: In that case, I should see the Bears are getting Caleb.
- 39:28Speaker 1: But we you want to know what this is. Truthfully,
- 39:36Speaker 1: it's stupid. But another thing is he's a he's a
- 39:39Speaker 1: gambling he's a gambling addict. A lot of that is
- 39:42Speaker 1: he's a gambling addict. He probably lost a whole heck
- 39:44Speaker 1: of a lot of money, so that the stress, so
- 39:47Speaker 1: that the stress that they bring out the most. I mean,
- 39:49Speaker 1: he says these type of things, but distress most likely
- 39:52Speaker 1: is he probably had him but basically with a bet
- 39:55Speaker 1: and it was probably the first round and he probably
- 39:58Speaker 1: lost a pile the lower he went and you know,
- 40:01Speaker 1: it just kept going with it and he's doud, So
- 40:04Speaker 1: there's probably I mean, they can save the stress, but
- 40:06Speaker 1: he doesn't want to say I lost lots of money
- 40:08Speaker 1: from the bets. So but in truth though, we that's
- 40:12Speaker 1: where are a lot of our issues with fans are
- 40:14Speaker 1: is A lot of it is gambling. A lot of
- 40:17Speaker 1: it's gambling. A lot of it they're not They act
- 40:19Speaker 1: like nine year olds. And that's where the problem lies
- 40:23Speaker 1: with fans is. And this and even bigger problem I
- 40:26Speaker 1: should brought up on my last little deal. The issue
- 40:30Speaker 1: is that the front office tries to count out to
- 40:32Speaker 1: these people. They count out to the fans because they're
- 40:35Speaker 1: afraid that they won't come to the games except for
- 40:37Speaker 1: the fact give them a two two in a row,
- 40:39Speaker 1: two wins in a row and they'll be right back
- 40:41Speaker 1: in their detailgating section. And it's just it's just all
- 40:46Speaker 1: goofy and we've gone nuts. We've kind of become lunatics,
- 40:49Speaker 1: and it's become regular and it's kind of stupid.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Okay, anybody else, But for the last part, just I
- 40:56Speaker 2: knew Jacob with us.
- 41:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, Jacob. Really, I mean, come on suing
- 41:04Speaker 3: the teams or suing for emotional distress for you know this,
- 41:08Speaker 3: this is kind of nonsensical and it just goes way
- 41:11Speaker 3: overboard and in like you said, some of the fans
- 41:14Speaker 3: are just totally totally out of control, whether it's wedding,
- 41:18Speaker 3: whether it's excessive drinking, whether it's shenanigans during or after
- 41:22Speaker 3: a game. It is unfortunate, but there are a lot
- 41:27Speaker 3: of majority are all good people, good fans. It's just
- 41:32Speaker 3: a few knuckleheads, more than a few, I mean, but
- 41:34Speaker 3: that cause trouble, that's all.
- 41:37Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, George.
- 41:38Speaker 2: You know.
- 41:41Speaker 7: It has a lot to do with the fact that
- 41:44Speaker 7: I was once told that the number one way of
- 41:47Speaker 7: making money in this country is suing somebody. And every
- 41:50Speaker 7: time you turn around, somebody wants to sue someone. But
- 41:53Speaker 7: like George said, that's that's just you know, somebody looking
- 41:57Speaker 7: to make a buck. It's just terrible that this has
- 42:01Speaker 7: come to this, and now this is where we are.
- 42:03Speaker 8: We're Sue happy. That's exactly where we are today, Sue Happy.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Well, the one big thing Ralph is I brought up
- 42:11Speaker 1: gambling and I get you as a games cross and
- 42:14Speaker 1: all of that right now. It's his emotions. I call
- 42:16Speaker 1: them emotional nitwits. It's his emotions talking. And I will
- 42:20Speaker 1: bet you if he's not bringing that up in that
- 42:23Speaker 1: little thing, it will be found that he gambled and
- 42:25Speaker 1: he's trying to bet that off and they'll get thrown
- 42:27Speaker 1: out of court and laughed at.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, Comma, okay, believe it at that. It's solid forth.
- 42:35Speaker 2: But I just want to make sure of the hill
- 42:36Speaker 2: a little of it.
- 42:37Speaker 6: Comment on that some people just need to man up
- 42:40Speaker 6: and stop being a bunch of whiney you know what,
- 42:43Speaker 6: the you go, that's.
- 42:45Speaker 2: What I agree. I need to see that stuff, Buddy
- 42:49Speaker 2: and Taylor.
- 42:51Speaker 6: That's what I think of a lot of Detroit Tigers
- 42:53Speaker 6: fans on X by the way, oh man, they just
- 42:57Speaker 6: react about everything.
- 42:59Speaker 1: Taylor, they get they give up after the third.
- 43:01Speaker 6: Inning, reacted due to someone's injury.
- 43:09Speaker 3: Right enough, already, Yeah, alright, man.
- 43:14Speaker 2: One of the things I don't like talking about, which
- 43:16Speaker 2: is probably one of the reasons I love outside the
- 43:18Speaker 2: line because we're not click okay oriented. It's fake news.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Bill Belichick as a recent example, where they talked about
- 43:27Speaker 2: his girlfriend being banned from UNC football. UNC denied that
- 43:31Speaker 2: very quickly and from the UNC facilities. And another thing
- 43:36Speaker 2: that really irritated me was a Detroit Red Wings fan,
- 43:40Speaker 2: her name was Leona Eliza reported devastating loss that Scotty
- 43:44Speaker 2: Bowman died at age ninety one, leaving leaving a void
- 43:49Speaker 2: in the hockey history. I'll tell you what I think
- 43:52Speaker 2: of all that. Everybody can follow through really seriously, really
- 43:56Speaker 2: got me Brank. It is fake news, leon Eliza, I
- 44:01Speaker 2: get a chance to Henry on ten shows. I did
- 44:04Speaker 2: not express the people get to do it now first time. Yeah,
- 44:08Speaker 2: they are fake news again. This is a.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Kind of like Belichick's relationship.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, why why do I go out there
- 44:17Speaker 2: and bring this up on a broadcast like this, Because
- 44:20Speaker 2: it's about learning exactly what you have to do, what
- 44:24Speaker 2: to put up there, what you have to know, what
- 44:26Speaker 2: to believe, and what your sources are. I don't mind
- 44:29Speaker 2: divulging my sources on the air if I think they're credible.
- 44:32Speaker 2: If I see anything other than a credible source, I
- 44:35Speaker 2: go out there and simply go out there and ignore it.
- 44:41Speaker 2: So that thing about Scottie Bowman dying is sick and
- 44:46Speaker 2: totally is sick. At a ninety what was that, Taylor?
- 44:51Speaker 1: He was?
- 44:51Speaker 6: He's not dead yet, we know that.
- 44:54Speaker 2: That's why it's being brought up. Taylor hell really really yeah,
- 44:58Speaker 2: we know they're okay. But nevertheless, Belichick and his girlfriend
- 45:04Speaker 2: Jordan Nuds and so what I have a heart. I
- 45:07Speaker 2: really annoyed Apollo Tory formerly of I think he's a
- 45:11Speaker 2: the ESPN or now because he just can't get off
- 45:13Speaker 2: this be Belichick hatred thing that he's on too. So
- 45:18Speaker 2: I don't know, what do you guys think, George, you
- 45:19Speaker 2: know what, you're the senior journalist, Jarreed with your thoughts
- 45:22Speaker 2: about all this fake news. Well, the Belichick situation in
- 45:26Speaker 2: the Red Wings.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Well yeah, the Red Wings one, yeah, trust me, you
- 45:30Speaker 3: and I be one of the first to know. We're
- 45:32Speaker 3: good friends with Ken Kel and Paul Woods and so
- 45:35Speaker 3: that's totally totally fake news. And that's all she had
- 45:38Speaker 3: to do is pick up the phone. She can get
- 45:40Speaker 3: a hold of Todd in public relations or somebody else
- 45:42Speaker 3: down there. Don't go on and say that kind of
- 45:45Speaker 3: stuff is so disgusting. It really is. As far as
- 45:48Speaker 3: the Belichick thing goes, I think there's a lot of
- 45:50Speaker 3: let's face it, there's so many men outfits that are
- 45:52Speaker 3: so jealous. Let's just call it fat feat. They're jealous,
- 45:56Speaker 3: you know, And and I know it's a weird arrangement.
- 45:58Speaker 3: I know, this is an older man, and then he's
- 46:00Speaker 3: got this wonderful, you know, model, and she contested for
- 46:04Speaker 3: beauty queen contests. I mean, but get over it. I mean,
- 46:08Speaker 3: you know, if that's listen, if that's the kind of
- 46:11Speaker 3: thing he wanted to get into, relationship wise, that's his
- 46:13Speaker 3: own business. But again, I think a lot of it's
- 46:17Speaker 3: just based on on machoism and jealousy ology. Oh yeah,
- 46:21Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. But it's still it's still banned
- 46:23Speaker 3: in fake news. And to say something like that, like
- 46:26Speaker 3: you said, you know that she's been banned, which is
- 46:28Speaker 3: totally untrue.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Like you said, Scott, I can't eve they're on me
- 46:32Speaker 2: long enough to understand the journalism. What are your thoughts
- 46:34Speaker 2: about what these two examples are.
- 46:39Speaker 4: Fake. There is no room for fake news in it,
- 46:42Speaker 4: in anything, I mean.
- 46:44Speaker 5: Making up things, lying, telling different things.
- 46:48Speaker 4: It's just wrong. I'm sorry.
- 46:52Speaker 5: Too many people these days believe everything you read, so
- 46:57Speaker 5: unfortunately someone's gonna believe the fake news.
- 47:01Speaker 4: And that's just sad. That's sad. There's no room for
- 47:06Speaker 4: it in media.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 47:10Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what fake news? You know, it gets
- 47:13Speaker 8: old after a while.
- 47:14Speaker 7: And sometimes people they just put this stuff out there
- 47:18Speaker 7: because they want to be seen, they want to be heard,
- 47:20Speaker 7: they want to know, they want.
- 47:21Speaker 8: People to know about them.
- 47:22Speaker 7: But then they do stupid things like this fake news
- 47:25Speaker 7: stuff about Bill Belichick and his girlfriend.
- 47:28Speaker 8: Like George said, who cares?
- 47:29Speaker 7: I mean, you know, let the guy, you know, that's
- 47:31Speaker 7: his business if you want to, you know, hang out
- 47:34Speaker 7: with a model or whatever he's doing. And you know,
- 47:36Speaker 7: the same thing apply. You know, it's just it's ridiculous
- 47:40Speaker 7: that this fake news is even out here. And but
- 47:43Speaker 7: now with social media, people will do anything. I mean,
- 47:46Speaker 7: they don't put anything out there and don't say anything
- 47:49Speaker 7: and that, and that's exactly what it is with fake news.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Taylor, you're learning the business.
- 47:56Speaker 6: It's the famite, it's the famita it's defamatory by by
- 48:00Speaker 6: those reporters, and they're asking to get sued and stuff like.
- 48:05Speaker 6: Doing stuff like that can get you into some trouble,
- 48:09Speaker 6: you know, whether you get it, get fined or suspended
- 48:12Speaker 6: or even fired. Dare I say and and uh if
- 48:16Speaker 6: you don't have anything, just uh well, if it's just
- 48:21Speaker 6: their personal opinion, you got to keep it to yourself. Okay,
- 48:25Speaker 6: it's it's not it's not something to report news about.
- 48:28Speaker 6: Just keep it to yourself. Just a tip out there, good, No, Jacob.
- 48:34Speaker 1: Yeah, well, George, do you remember Paul Lynde years ago?
- 48:38Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, when he used to go backstage. He
- 48:41Speaker 1: used to bring all these young men, call him his nephews.
- 48:43Speaker 1: That's why I think of this relationship. But no, really,
- 48:50Speaker 1: by itself, all this all this deal with fake news,
- 48:55Speaker 1: I got called out about ten years ago, and it's
- 48:56Speaker 1: getting worse. Part of the thing, by itself is how
- 49:00Speaker 1: many times have I called it out myself? Though? It's
- 49:03Speaker 1: bites everything, it's bites. Everything is headlines. Who reads the article?
- 49:09Speaker 1: Who reads anything? You got to remember most news, you know,
- 49:13Speaker 1: we have our phones every day. Okay, everybody has our
- 49:15Speaker 1: cell phones all that stuff. Most people read the headline
- 49:19Speaker 1: that comes down off our Apple or or the Samsung.
- 49:22Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, shoo, And they don't even
- 49:25Speaker 1: push it, don't even push, they just see it. I
- 49:31Speaker 1: was taught that. I used to do it too. I
- 49:33Speaker 1: was taught that. My brother taught me that to stop,
- 49:36Speaker 1: to read it in full, and then you'll see the
- 49:39Speaker 1: here's the thing. You'll see the main point of it
- 49:42Speaker 1: and of everything is about the sixth the sixth paragraph.
- 49:46Speaker 1: They'll do that there after the fact, and they do
- 49:49Speaker 1: that perfectly. They know no one's gonna get there. They
- 49:54Speaker 1: when we have the movie up and you have the
- 49:56Speaker 1: Dog goes, that's what people are with media, and they
- 50:01Speaker 1: get away with this. Unfortunately, you know, it's that's where
- 50:06Speaker 1: the problem lies. And when we when I mean when
- 50:11Speaker 1: you get more people and you start getting more teachers,
- 50:14Speaker 1: you get everything that because we're never going to have
- 50:17Speaker 1: the same We're never going to have anything past a fish. Uh,
- 50:22Speaker 1: let's see, what's the word forward? Is that the attention
- 50:25Speaker 1: attention span and the attention span and fish. We're never
- 50:28Speaker 1: going to get that far. But if when we get
- 50:31Speaker 1: enough kids and enough people that want to be smart
- 50:33Speaker 1: and read, and that's up to the teachers also, But
- 50:37Speaker 1: until then it's going to keep happening.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Yeah too, man, we have to talk about fake news
- 50:41Speaker 2: on the nature of our business. George, I have to
- 50:45Speaker 2: go back to my partner, George Rycorn. A bunch of
- 50:47Speaker 2: miss those days where all we ever did was go
- 50:49Speaker 2: to the wire services grab and talk about it on
- 50:52Speaker 2: the air. Really I am missing. Now we have the internet,
- 50:57Speaker 2: you know, all the story, everything goes the tenth of
- 51:00Speaker 2: a second. Oh those days back in the station, George,
- 51:04Speaker 2: we were at numerous loans. We've got it straight from
- 51:07Speaker 2: the source and didn't have to worry about none of this.
- 51:09Speaker 3: All right, right, Scott, We sure did. And then remember
- 51:13Speaker 3: if there were a lot of bells, if there were
- 51:15Speaker 3: some bells on the chicker tape, that signified like a
- 51:18Speaker 3: breaking news story, you know, a real, real important one
- 51:21Speaker 3: would have. That's how things were back then, Like you said,
- 51:24Speaker 3: that's what we grew up with working at a radio station.
- 51:27Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those are None of you on this panel
- 51:32Speaker 2: will realize the good old days, how nice we had
- 51:35Speaker 2: at Now I realize it's a different you know. Some
- 51:38Speaker 2: people laugh at me sometimes and I tell them I
- 51:42Speaker 2: hate emailing. I'd rather just put a letter in the
- 51:44Speaker 2: mail and just stick a stamp on the wall. Yeah,
- 51:46Speaker 2: I really still would. Yeah, and I'm not afraid to
- 51:49Speaker 2: admit it. But thank god I have somebody else who's
- 51:52Speaker 2: more than capable of handing the technical stuff as well
- 51:56Speaker 2: as she does that marvelously. All right, Well, there were
- 51:59Speaker 2: one non sport topic of the night. Unfortunately, I wish
- 52:01Speaker 2: it was something better when I'm going to have to report,
- 52:04Speaker 2: but I'm going to mention it anyways. It's one of
- 52:06Speaker 2: those things that you don't take these situations for granted.
- 52:11Speaker 2: According to WPBF News, okay, I deposed my source official say,
- 52:17Speaker 2: a twenty nine year old Casey firefighter paramedic has died
- 52:22Speaker 2: after being stabbed by a patient during an ambulance ride.
- 52:27Speaker 2: Rest to Graham Hoffman, yes, people, this does happen when
- 52:32Speaker 2: you're in an ambulance ride. The table's returned for all
- 52:35Speaker 2: the wrong reasons. So I repeat, a twenty nine year
- 52:39Speaker 2: old KC firefighter first responder trying to help out and
- 52:43Speaker 2: he fortunately died by being stabbed by a patient turning
- 52:48Speaker 2: an ambulance ride. Hoffman, So, Jacob, what are your thoughts?
- 52:55Speaker 1: I have always called for I've always called EMT's absolute badasses.
- 53:00Speaker 1: And no one knows about their level just because of everything.
- 53:03Speaker 1: Kind of it's kind of like we saw the move
- 53:05Speaker 1: the show Mash. We saw the show Mash, and we
- 53:09Speaker 1: saw them in the little that they have to work with.
- 53:11Speaker 1: That's the same with an EMT, only in this era.
- 53:14Speaker 1: But in truth, I've been saying this about firefighters, been
- 53:18Speaker 1: saying it about pops. I've been saying it about empts,
- 53:20Speaker 1: been saying about this forever. And we had a show
- 53:22Speaker 1: about it one time. I called it, and I'll say this, Taylor,
- 53:28Speaker 1: I called and Ralph both I could. We called the show.
- 53:32Speaker 1: It was four topics, but the main part of the
- 53:34Speaker 1: show was let's see the martial arts and police reform.
- 53:39Speaker 1: Martial arts and police reform. And the idea of it is,
- 53:42Speaker 1: let's teach everybody around self defense in the same amount
- 53:47Speaker 1: of time as we teach guns. And the biggest thing
- 53:51Speaker 1: about this is you got now you've got em ts
- 53:54Speaker 1: are not going to carry guns on them and they
- 53:56Speaker 1: have to deal with that. And now they don't have
- 53:58Speaker 1: anything to protect them. And now most of them don't
- 54:00Speaker 1: even have any they have self pretense, you know, they
- 54:04Speaker 1: don't have any martial arts or self defense training already
- 54:08Speaker 1: and stuff. Get No, that doesn't make them whimpy. You've
- 54:11Speaker 1: got to be You've got to be a mental, absolute
- 54:14Speaker 1: badass to do that job.
- 54:17Speaker 2: And you have to.
- 54:18Speaker 1: But we also need to after hearing things like this,
- 54:21Speaker 1: we need to make a lot more physical badasses too.
- 54:25Speaker 2: So you want to learn from you with pundit kind
- 54:27Speaker 2: of one thing I always say about pun and fun
- 54:30Speaker 2: of a show like that makes you become a real
- 54:33Speaker 2: journalist because you're not a one trick point Jacob. And
- 54:36Speaker 2: that's why we have a pund It's Fun segment on
- 54:40Speaker 2: here for reasons like this. Okay, Taylor, go ahead, what's
- 54:43Speaker 2: your response on.
- 54:46Speaker 6: I want I want to touch on the patient that
- 54:49Speaker 6: that committed that crime. Wow, that that stabbed the uh nurse? Oh,
- 54:57Speaker 6: oh my god? Are you kidding me? Why would a
- 55:00Speaker 6: patient do that? Is that patient on something really or
- 55:04Speaker 6: is he just? Is it just anger management?
- 55:10Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 55:10Speaker 6: Yeah, both, yeah, it is both.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 55:13Speaker 6: Just I don't know what that patient was suffering from
- 55:16Speaker 6: in the first place, but something, something must have been
- 55:21Speaker 6: really wrong with that patient, otherwise he was just a troublemaker.
- 55:28Speaker 6: But thoughts and prayers go out to the victims' family
- 55:33Speaker 6: condolences as well.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Well.
- 55:38Speaker 8: I gotta say this.
- 55:39Speaker 7: My friend Tony Moreno, who is running for Republican mayor
- 55:44Speaker 7: in Pittsburgh, was a former police officer, and he said,
- 55:48Speaker 7: ninety percent of these incidents.
- 55:49Speaker 8: Like this are from mental health. We don't care about
- 55:54Speaker 8: mental health in this country. And it's sad.
- 55:57Speaker 7: Okay, Pennsylvania has closed on all but one state hospital, okay,
- 56:03Speaker 7: And now Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, is struggling
- 56:06Speaker 7: to try to get mental health taken care of because
- 56:09Speaker 7: what's happening is there's too much mental health that's going
- 56:13Speaker 7: under the underwater then drowned so bad that no one
- 56:17Speaker 7: can stop it. And we have to start worrying about
- 56:21Speaker 7: mental health in this country. And that's part of the
- 56:24Speaker 7: problem with this, and public safety is at risk because
- 56:30Speaker 7: of bad mental health.
- 56:33Speaker 2: Great points, Ralph. I can to go ahead.
- 56:36Speaker 5: You know, Ralph, you took the words kind of right
- 56:38Speaker 5: out of my mouth, because right what is this month?
- 56:40Speaker 5: This month is mental health Awareness Month? And I can
- 56:44Speaker 5: tell you working for a big company like I do,
- 56:47Speaker 5: and I'm not going to name it because it doesn't
- 56:49Speaker 5: really matter, but they bring this to the forefront and
- 56:52Speaker 5: they encourage mental health awareness. They encourage us to uh
- 56:58Speaker 5: reach out if we need help. They actually give us
- 57:02Speaker 5: free mental health sessions each year because they're bringing this.
- 57:09Speaker 5: They know that this is a problem and in this
- 57:12Speaker 5: country today.
- 57:15Speaker 4: So yeah, when.
- 57:21Speaker 5: Someone's trying to help you, I can't imagine what was
- 57:24Speaker 5: going through his mind to want to do this, to
- 57:30Speaker 5: want to inflict pain.
- 57:32Speaker 4: Did he know what he was doing?
- 57:33Speaker 5: Did he intentionally do that? The other thing, I hate
- 57:37Speaker 5: to say this, and I really hate to say this
- 57:40Speaker 5: because I don't know that this is the fact some
- 57:45Speaker 5: people have it better off in jail than they do
- 57:49Speaker 5: out on the road, out on the streets, because we
- 57:52Speaker 5: have such a homeless problem. I'm just going to say
- 57:56Speaker 5: that sometimes they have it better off in jail then they.
- 58:01Speaker 4: Do out on the streets.
- 58:03Speaker 1: Hey, Candy, I want to bring something up, but that
- 58:05Speaker 1: I came up with an idea that I thought would
- 58:08Speaker 1: be awesome. And this doesn't even have to be by party.
- 58:11Speaker 1: It's like anybody should be able to agree with this.
- 58:13Speaker 1: I thought, in any city, find of the stretch of
- 58:18Speaker 1: land somewhere. It doesn't have to be around the city
- 58:21Speaker 1: or whatever, because remember they walk everywhere anyway. So the idea,
- 58:25Speaker 1: what if you had a stretch of those remember those
- 58:27Speaker 1: tiny houses you get at Ikea. What if the government
- 58:31Speaker 1: got into a contract with like Ikea or Rose or
- 58:34Speaker 1: Home Depot all those small those small houses, and they're
- 58:38Speaker 1: then a separate time and anybody homeless can hit one
- 58:44Speaker 1: you ever, because lot of them will have the vacancy or.
- 58:47Speaker 2: None on the lock.
- 58:49Speaker 1: A lot of them do have that. So what you
- 58:51Speaker 1: could do is they can be able to walk and
- 58:54Speaker 1: they have a place. Remember it's raining, it's snow, and
- 58:56Speaker 1: they have a place to work. Now, this is where
- 58:59Speaker 1: I'm where I'm coming at here. What if they they
- 59:05Speaker 1: basically didn't take their own ownership of it. They if
- 59:08Speaker 1: they really want to improve themselves in life, they're the
- 59:12Speaker 1: ones that find the job. They have their own little
- 59:14Speaker 1: quote unquote address, and then they get the money to
- 59:17Speaker 1: turn on the electric, they get the money to turn
- 59:20Speaker 1: on their water, they get the money to do all
- 59:22Speaker 1: that stuff that's their home. Immediately that you do something
- 59:27Speaker 1: like that, that would absolutely positively stop so much homelessness,
- 59:31Speaker 1: because if they don't care about that, and they're truly
- 59:34Speaker 1: mentally the same or mentally ill, they're just going to
- 59:37Speaker 1: use that to get out of the cold, which that
- 59:39Speaker 1: also gets them off the street. Too, And it's like,
- 59:44Speaker 1: but the thing is, we're probably gonna have less violence
- 59:47Speaker 1: through that if they have a place to live and
- 59:49Speaker 1: they might be some food there, and it might be
- 59:51Speaker 1: all that just little by little, you know what I mean.
- 59:55Speaker 1: Mind you they have to might have to be cleaned,
- 59:57Speaker 1: because there are certain ones that are just in the deal.
- 59:59Speaker 1: But it's just an idea. What if we came up
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: with ideas where they have a place to sleep and
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: then their mind if their minds are still in it,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: they get themselves a job and they turn on their
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: own lights, turn on their own everything. That's when, you know,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: because people will keep saying, oh, they want to improve,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: but how do you know, Let's give them that little
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: guinea pig right there.
- 1:00:20Speaker 7: Mm hmm yeah, Let's give them the responsibility Jacob to
- 1:00:26Speaker 7: work their way into that.
- 1:00:27Speaker 8: And you know that tiny Holmes idea is not a
- 1:00:29Speaker 8: bad thing. They're throwing it in some cities and towns.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Get in there another time, stay on point.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Okay, But that's but that's what the whole thing I
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: was bringing up, Candy was. That's the whole thing I
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: was bringing up. Your bringing that that's just the thing.
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I've read a lot of that's tough, Ralph.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: That's what I do during my day and research. As
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: we're just staying on point and we're talking about a
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: situation right now where unfortunately somebody lost their lives in
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: a very unfortunate situation. I don't mind talking about homeless.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: All have to say is on you go to La
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: La County and everything out there, it is really bad.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: If you go by it, make a purchase at a store,
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: let's say four dollars of ninety six cent, you on
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: a round it up four s that's to make it
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: five buck homeless. That's fine. I had no problem rounding
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: it up easier on my bills anyways. But that's what
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: you have out in La County. There are a lot
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: of homeless people all over the place that it's sad,
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: all right. One person then they's saying on this particular
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: topic is George, I've wearing a couple more things. I
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: want to get to is we'll do my time, go ahead, George.
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: Well, obviously, this is a situation that hits very close
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: to home. My son in law, one of my sons
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: in law, is a firefighter paramedic. So when I heard
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: this news, I was devastated. And very very upset. And
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: I applaud you Scott for bringing this up and in
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: our different format and different topics we talked about on
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: the Sports Exchange. What happened on April twenty seventh was
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: clearly a fatal stabbing by whatever this patient, whatever was
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: going through her mind. I guess it was a lady.
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: And they and they said that she had bitten somebody earlier,
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: a bitt a paramedic or a police officer earlier that
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: day or the day before. But yes, of course it
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: illustrates the need, how much need we have, and how
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: dangerous our our you know, emergency people are and what
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: they go through every day, our police fireman e mts
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: all of them. So stay, stay calm, stay respecting of
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: those that carry the badge, is all I can say.
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: Great way to end the segment, George, thank you all. Right,
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: Now we went from fake news before and now there
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: some news updates. Kent my EIGHTA thirty seven signed a
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: minor league deal the Chicago Cubs. Get that he is
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: looked at Chicago Cubs. I don't know about that. He
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: signed a two year deal for Detroit worth twenty four
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: million dollars. We don't know how that worked on Detroit.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: Not very good, no way. Yeah, and you know for
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: about him, he's a company's problems. Guess what that comes
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: will be in Detroit in a few weeks to see
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: their old buddy KNT who they're probably paying. Maybe if
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: they're lucky, they'll be able to pay him back by
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: roughing him up. Because that's what you have to look
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: for anybody real quick. On this one. I always spend
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: nine million years and uh, you don't have to talk
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: about tiny homes on this one.
- 1:03:23Speaker 6: Run the last night, the last I the last I
- 1:03:26Speaker 6: heard about Kenda. He his first his first start in
- 1:03:32Speaker 6: the minor leagues within the when they within the Cubs organization,
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: was with the Iowa City Cubs. Uh, just two innings, pitched,
- 1:03:42Speaker 6: four in runs, four hits, one walk, one hit batsman,
- 1:03:47Speaker 6: zero strikeouts zero. I haven't even heard of how many
- 1:03:51Speaker 6: people he struck up, but I assume it's zero. But man,
- 1:03:54Speaker 6: all the all those four runs that might have gave
- 1:03:57Speaker 6: up in that minor league game was in the first inning.
- 1:04:00Speaker 6: The second inning, he buckled down. But it's not not
- 1:04:03Speaker 6: even nearly enough to prove for kena Maita. He he
- 1:04:08Speaker 6: just belongs to the miners from now on. Otherwise he
- 1:04:11Speaker 6: just he should just quit playing baseball forever.
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: He's not going to away from that money coming.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: How you really feel he's only got one more year
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: left on that where it's up two years Denague Taylor.
- 1:04:25Speaker 6: Right, but I'm just saying mighta absolutely sucks period.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Now, let's see, Jacob. Now it's trying to get some
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: passion out of Phillips thet man. All right, Ralse says,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: you were kind enough to mention something there, Ralph Donald
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: t Jacob, Well, tell me how you really feel, Ralph about.
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: Well, I'm just saying, you know, he if he's in
- 1:04:50Speaker 7: the minors all this time, he's a lit sounds to
- 1:04:52Speaker 7: me like he's a lifetime minor leaguer.
- 1:04:54Speaker 8: But you know, there's nothing wrong with that.
- 1:04:57Speaker 7: I mean, you know, there are players out there that
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: have been in the minor league forever and if this
- 1:05:01Speaker 7: guy is, uh, you know, constantly in and out of
- 1:05:04Speaker 7: the minors.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Well, let me stop you. I don't want you to
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: embarrass yourself. Well, the guy have been a good quality
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: pitcher in the big leagues. Right now the tail end
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: of his career, he's showing the wear and tear of
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: a thirty seven year old guy, and he's had a
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: pretty solid career. Look it up. The numbers have been good.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the Detroit Tigers are in the wrong end
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: of the deal. Tigers fans can only hope that he
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: gets called up by the companies, but the time they
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: get in there so they can take manning practice off
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: that free agent acquisition.
- 1:05:34Speaker 6: So unfortunately that's not gonna happens.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: For one thing to come, need relievers, not bad starters.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: There he goes, all right, Jacob, what are you talking about?
- 1:05:43Speaker 6: He's gone.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Pretty much?
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Hey, they need he made the show anyways. The only yeah, the.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Only starter I want to see right now is Paul
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: Schemes in a trade. Otherwise, the Cubs are doing good
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: right now, I could. I mean, they don't need a
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: bad starter at this point in time. They need to
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: move the relief because if that eual works, So who cares?
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: Okay, Candy, he's been he majored.
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: You're back in twenty eight.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: He uh.
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: He signed a two year contract before with the Tigers
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: before the twenty twenty fourth season, But that doesn't mean
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: that he should still be up in the majors. We
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: all need to know when it's time to hang up
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: our cleats. That's all I'm gonna say, George.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: Well, I look at it this way. Detroit has one
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: of the best pitching coaches around, Chris Fetter, and a
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: pitching staff, and they tried their best to help him. Okay, folks,
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: they you know you talk about trying to rescue somebody's career,
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: trust me. In spring and and when he made the team,
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: even going up north, I mean, they had had hope
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: that he would turn things around. Obviously he hasn't been
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: able to do that.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: It was a bad move.
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: Nobody could have predicted he'd be this bad. And uh,
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: I just wish the kid the best of luck. It's
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: going to be awful difficult for him to sustain a
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: job on the on the Cubs or anybody's roster right now.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: All right, you know we're gonna stay in baseball a
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: little bit of a different baseball all times. And here
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: we go. So, how do you like this name for
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: a baseball team? Do Utah Outlaws? How about that.
- 1:07:34Speaker 6: League team name?
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: All right, we'll let you lead off with this one, Taylor,
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: because you obviously volunteered to lead off, So tell me
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: you please elaborate, sir, yep.
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: The Outlaws do sound like a minor league team. I
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: would say, if MLB were to expand out I I
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: would have then I would then I would actually have
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: no other name than the Outlaws. The NHL Utah team
- 1:08:10Speaker 6: is already the Mammoth, so there goes that. There's also
- 1:08:14Speaker 6: the Utah Minors in college sports. Yeah there goes that too.
- 1:08:18Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, that's all I have for team names.
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: And here what's all you need. All you need to
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: remember on this segment is a Utah Outlaws.
- 1:08:31Speaker 6: Yep, exactly.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Yep, like Taylor. Do you like it? Yes or no? Yes?
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: I do? Yep? Good enough? Okay, wow, yeah, I like it.
- 1:08:41Speaker 7: It's better than having nothing, I would. You know, it's
- 1:08:44Speaker 7: it sounds like a really good name, Utah Outlaws, and
- 1:08:47Speaker 7: I like that. I like that name, and I like,
- 1:08:49Speaker 7: uh when I hear out of it, and it's kind
- 1:08:52Speaker 7: of catchy Utah Outlaws.
- 1:08:54Speaker 8: You know, it kind of works that way.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: You know, he's a good rutility, you think take him
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: very good.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: And I need to ask your permission on something real fast.
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: I like about that.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: I have about a thirteen hour drive tomorrow, and can
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: I do my finish up?
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: Can I finish up, and you go ahead and answer this,
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: and then you go to your mind town and then
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: you put your.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: It was a good It was a good thing. Right now,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: My town is Quincy, Illinois, and not a whole lot
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: going on. But I was at a city council thing
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: and men knew about five people there, which is fun.
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: And as far as the land, I'll find out when
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: I get back tomorrow. Well, well, I was going to
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: do my final run to my thing, my final award
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: real fast. Sure, just the thing I was saying with fans,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: this is not a total bang up. But when I say,
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: as an example, look at the Indiana Pacers, when I
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: say the one thing Taylor You'll know about me is
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: I always say, be in. Be there at all times.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: You know, as far as your teams be around, be
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: in the playoffs, even if you don't have a whole
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: lot of money, just be there because you can never
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: know how you get there. You don't know how you
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: find that one big shot, like you know, the Halliburton is,
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: you don't know when. Since the Larry Bird Time two
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: thousand and Night, eighteen to twenty, they are consistently playoffs,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: consistently there, and they're about to make the finals. And
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: this is what I say to fans, get off yourselves
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: and you keep some patients, because every time you don't
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: have patients, the team's any team takes a step back
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: because you want something now. Sometimes a team like in
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Indiana or any of these other places don't have the money.
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: So you have to understand if you're doing well despite
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: the money, it's because someone's doing the right thing.
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: So that's how you make money.
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: That's how you make money. And it's like you take
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: your I mean to keep your patients a little bit
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: and you start to understand if you don't have money
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: to spend and you're still doing well and you're number eight,
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: number seven in the playoffs and do everything like that,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: you're doing something right. Because when you're still around, something
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: will happen. If you're not around. Think of think of
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: when Peyton Manning went to Denver, because do you think
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: Peyton Manning would have went to Denver for a four
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: and twelve with Kyle Orton holding it? Or when you've
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: gone to San Francisco. That's the point I make. You
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: got to stay around and guess what they got there
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: in Super Bowl in twenty fifteen, because they stuck around.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: It's like sometimes things just happen. And that's all I
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: have to say with that. Where you can see me
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: as I'm Jacob Criser on Facebook, I am Sideline one

- 1:12:29Speaker 2: make sure sure.
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: I think it's a good name, Scott. I think it's creative,
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: you know it really for for a very conservative state
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: like Utah. It's a little bit outlanders in a way,
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: but hey, I think it's good, especially from minor league baseball, Okay, Candy.
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: The Utah Outlaws was actually one of the names that
- 1:12:52Speaker 5: the Utah NHL Hockey Club was considering before they went
- 1:12:58Speaker 5: to the Utah Mammoths. Right, So it was a popular
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: name because obviously it.
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: Was one that was.
- 1:13:07Speaker 5: I could see it being a minor league team. It
- 1:13:09Speaker 5: just has that, you know, different I don't know how
- 1:13:13Speaker 5: should I put it. Different quality about it, different ring
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: to it.
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I like I'm a board with Ralph. It does
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: have a good ring to it. Sounds really yeah all
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: the way. I want to see those. I thought, why
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: I'll put it out there because you know, keep in
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: mind our audiences all over the world, if not limited
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: to a specifica pakball Back to the Night, that'll be
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: a new segment that we incorporate on the sports The
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: name tonight go back to April twenty eighth, nineteen fifty six,
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: Frank Robinson hit his first home run. By the end
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: of his career, he would hit five hundred and eighty
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: six old runs. He's inducted into the Baseball Hall of
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: Fame for your thought, George about Frank Robinson. We all
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: know what he did as a manager, as a pioneer
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: in that department, was a heck of a hitter and
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: made it to Cooper's down. Frank is our biseball back
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: of the night.
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great choice you made. Frank. Robbie has
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: always been one of the one of the kind of
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: guys that you know, kind of formed my following baseball
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: because they were they were such a great rival for
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: a while with the Detroit of the Detroit Tigers. But
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: Frank Robinson has a Baltimore oriole was fantastic. I know
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: his managerial career, you know Cleveland and the ends. I mean,
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: just a great all around career. Frank Robinson, Uh, just
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: a great Uh. What a Hall of Famer, no question
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: about it. I like the guy, even though he was
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: opposing team.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: Let's say, little will you Taylor? Who do hello? Frank?
- 1:14:46Speaker 6: Frank Robinson was the lead almost six hundred home runs
- 1:14:49Speaker 6: five hundred eighty six is George I Cart George Ikorn
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: mentioned he was one of the best. He's a Hall
- 1:14:57Speaker 6: of Famer. Not very many not very many baseball fans remember,
- 1:15:05Speaker 6: but but some of us do.
- 1:15:08Speaker 7: Okay, Ralph, Yeah, Frank Robinson hall of Famer all the way.
- 1:15:14Speaker 7: The man not only was a manager, but a great
- 1:15:17Speaker 7: baseball player and uh he you know with the Orioles
- 1:15:21Speaker 7: and you know the Orioles. Uh he he kind of
- 1:15:24Speaker 7: put him on the map a little bit by being,
- 1:15:26Speaker 7: you know, a good baseball player for them, and also
- 1:15:29Speaker 7: as a manager as well. He you know, he he
- 1:15:32Speaker 7: wasn't maybe the greatest manager in the world, but he
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: he managed uh you know, his teams, you know the
- 1:15:38Speaker 7: way he had to.
- 1:15:39Speaker 8: And uh Frank Robinson hall of Famer, Yes he is.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: We knows about his offensive prowess. But I take the
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: biggest thing I remember the most about Frank Robinson is
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: he's the one who engineered that Montreal exposed to Washington
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: national transition. During that move, that's not an easy situation
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: to do, it really isn't. Yeah, he leaves candidate to
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: go to the nation's capital. So can you believe the
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: one the first hold run? So we'll give me everybody
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: an opportunity about that first home run? How many will
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: it lead to and do you ultimately get to Cooper's down.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: That's why I decided to put this one in tonight's shell.
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: For that reason. We all know what Frank did. It's
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: off the field as a manager and on. But as
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, Frank Robinson is our baseball factor
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: of the night. Final segment of the night is our
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: money Wait, go ahead, Candy, thank you.
- 1:16:34Speaker 5: Frank Robinson, nicknamed the Judge, was an American professional baseball
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: outfielder a manager in Major League Baseball. He played for
- 1:16:44Speaker 5: five different teams.
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: Over twenty one seasons.
- 1:16:49Speaker 5: He was also became the first black manager in Big
- 1:16:53Speaker 5: league history. As a player manager of the Indians, he
- 1:16:58Speaker 5: was the first player to be named Most Valuable Player
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: in both the National League and the American League.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: I do remember.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, great stuff. Mm hmm.
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: That's that's it. He had a he had a great.
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: Career, you know.
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: And it's uh.
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: And you know rightfully, so, Jackie Robinson takes uh, you know,
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: a great deal of the spotlight, as we know. But
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: you got guys like Frank Robinson to you talk about
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: tough times when breaking down that dead racial barrier and
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: all that in baseball. Uh, Frank. Frank's right up there,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: you know.
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, nice stuff. All right, now we're going to town.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: You're gonna lead off of my Town. He is the
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: original creator of it for Fire Up Candy, My Town.
- 1:17:53Speaker 5: My Milwaukee Brewers took all three of the series against
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: the Boston Red Sox. Christian Yellett, who is in the
- 1:18:00Speaker 5: league for let me get that.
- 1:18:03Speaker 4: I forget. I just had that minute ago.
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: I think you, Christian. He hit a walk off Grand
- 1:18:13Speaker 5: Slam home run last night to win the game. They
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: want it in the tenth yesterday, they want it in
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: the tenth today. They're not having the best season, I
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: will admit, but.
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: They did what they needed to. The Milwaukee Bucks.
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: Have some big decisions to make and how they are
- 1:18:34Speaker 5: going to keep Giannis. They've got to figure that one out.
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: I just saw let me and I thought this was
- 1:18:46Speaker 5: very very interesting.
- 1:18:49Speaker 4: Let me get it quick. I'm sorry. I'm supposed to
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: be quicker than this.
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: Absurd but true. Jerry Judy sixty million. We'll make more
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five than all Packers starting wide receivers
- 1:19:06Speaker 5: and tight ends combined. That's kind of crazy, if you
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: ask me. The Milwaukee Admirals they they did not make
- 1:19:18Speaker 5: it to the Calder Cup. They had a great year,
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: but they did not. And as for the town that
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: I live in, now, we all know that the Florida
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: Panthers have been storming pretty good. They are playing. They
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: are up three to one in the series. We will
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: see if they can do it tonight. They are currently
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: up three to two, so we'll see what happens with that.
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: Taylor.
- 1:19:50Speaker 6: Well, the Detroit Tigers. What the San Francisco Giants. Of course,
- 1:19:54Speaker 6: the Giant the Detroit Tiger's best record in at least
- 1:19:57Speaker 6: the American League, if not majorly Baseball.
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: UH.
- 1:20:02Speaker 6: Right now, the uh they're trying, they're trying to race
- 1:20:05Speaker 6: the Philadelphia Phillies for the best record in Major League Baseball. UH,
- 1:20:10Speaker 6: Braves and Phillies are postponed.
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: So guess what.
- 1:20:13Speaker 6: The Tigers have the best record in Major League Baseball
- 1:20:15Speaker 6: as of right now. Man Tommy Camley's change up was
- 1:20:21Speaker 6: wicked a six out save, getting the Tigers out of
- 1:20:24Speaker 6: a jam with runners on second and third, nobody out
- 1:20:27Speaker 6: in the eighth inning. And then the Lions earlier yesterday
- 1:20:31Speaker 6: signed linebacker Zach Conningham, who only played UH seven games,
- 1:20:38Speaker 6: four total tackles to solo two assisted tackles for the
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: Denver Broncos. He's played all He's played almost a decade
- 1:20:48Speaker 6: in decade in the NFL, and I'm gonna I've got
- 1:20:51Speaker 6: all the research here. I'm going to provide it sometime
- 1:20:54Speaker 6: soon on my Michigan Sports Truth podcast.
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: Very good. I'll let you give that information out when
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: everybody's done. All right, go ahead, George.
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: When you look at the attendance figures in Major League Baseball,
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: one thing really jumps out at you. Despite having that
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: best record, like you mentioned Taylor, the Tigers are no
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: better than twenty first in attendance. So your questions are, oh, why, oh, why,
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: oh why? Well? Number one, weather, We all know about
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: weather in the Midwest, especially in April and May. Number two,
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: they were dealt a bad hand by the Commissioner's office
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: by making the New York Yankees and the Boston Red
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: Sox play the Tigers so early in the season. And
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: Detroit number three, duh, We've had a lot of winning
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: teams and a lot of money has been making. A
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: lot of money's been going out for teams like the
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: Detroit Lions, the Detroit Pistons, and of course the right,
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: we can sell out almost every game, so the dollar
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: to see a sporting event. You know, it was only
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: wretch so far. But wait, folks, trust me, they continue
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: to play like this, there will be more crowds. They
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: drew over thirty thousand, thirty five thousand on the on
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: the Memorial of the weekend against Cleveland for three out
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: of the four games, so there will be better attendance figures.
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: I know it's not like, you know, selling out every
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: game like you know we're used to with the Dodgers, Yankees, Bowsox.
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: But Tiger fans are loyal and they will come back,
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: and they've had suffering years for so many years. So
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: I think that people who panic about this and see
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: twenty first and lay wow, no, you try to steal
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: a baseball town. That's what I wanted to share tonight.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, George. Okay, Ralph, you know this segment
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: all too well, Go ahead.
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: All right, Mike Town. The Parts won today ten to
- 1:22:46Speaker 7: one against Arizona. Paul Skins pitched a well of a
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: game and finally the bats came through today. Also the Steelers, Yeah,
- 1:22:56Speaker 7: still playing.
- 1:22:56Speaker 8: The waiting game.
- 1:22:57Speaker 7: We're still finding out whether or not Aaron Rodgers is
- 1:23:00Speaker 7: going to be our starting quarterback, and you know Ota started.
- 1:23:04Speaker 8: Mason Rudolph is so far the starter. And we'll see
- 1:23:08Speaker 8: where the Steelers go.
- 1:23:09Speaker 7: And the Penguins still waiting to see who they're going
- 1:23:12Speaker 7: to hire their new head coach as well. You know,
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: Mike Sullivan got fired or step down if you if
- 1:23:19Speaker 7: you want to call it that, or a mutual you know, uh,
- 1:23:24Speaker 7: walk away with a mutual respect or whatever however you
- 1:23:28Speaker 7: want to classify it. But now he's the new head
- 1:23:31Speaker 7: coach with the New York Rangers, and I wish him
- 1:23:35Speaker 7: a lot of luck. And it looks like the Florida
- 1:23:37Speaker 7: Panthers are We're going to do pretty good. It looks
- 1:23:40Speaker 7: like they're gonna be moving on here real soon. So
- 1:23:42Speaker 7: we'll see what I don't know. I'm not talking about
- 1:23:44Speaker 7: the Panthers right now. I personally don't like to give
- 1:23:47Speaker 7: end game updates until you get final scores. That's a
- 1:23:50Speaker 7: policy that I have if we're close five, but not
- 1:23:53Speaker 7: with eighteen minutes and change in the period. At a
- 1:23:55Speaker 7: little hockey, That's what I have so far.
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: I'm going to limit to one particular killer my town,
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: and that goes to my alma mater, New Jor, City
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: of South Florida. Offensive tackle RJ. Perry has been signed
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: by the New York Giants. He's an underdrafted free agent.
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: He started eighteen games of tackle for the Bulls after
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: transferring from the University of Tennessee Volunteers. By the way,
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: that's coach John Bonomego's new home. He started on the
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: inside the pick again and now he gets to coach
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: a bunch of guys playing the pigskin up at the
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: University of Tennessee and not so hope. Coach Bono, I
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: always think about you all the time. Did a great
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: job with us. But I know he's back to what
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: he loves to do, and that's coaching football. So again,
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: I have a policy. It's just me. I don't talk
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: about partial scores unless they become final. I don't know
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: mine updates every so often, we'll see where the planters
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: play out, and we'll see whether or not that becomes
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: a topic of conversation. On tomorrow's show, The Sports Exchange,
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: My Santos and I and Steven Raich Show will be
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: doing that show tomorrow and Candy has Fire up with
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: you and Ralph and the rest of her crews. So
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: with that said, Okay, we're gonna let everybody talk out
