Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all gonna have to give us a second.
1:28
Speaker 7: Because if you are near a TV, and thank you
1:32
Speaker 7: for listening to us right now, as the last ten
1:36
Speaker 7: minutes of the World Cup semi final between England and
1:41
Speaker 7: Argentina has completely been flipped on its head.
1:48
Speaker 4: I mean, folks, I kid you not. I was on
1:52
Speaker 4: the feet southbound feeder about to loop around to come
1:55
Speaker 4: to Crystal Park Plaza right in front of the Mercedes
1:58
Speaker 4: Benz dealership. When Argentina levels, it is then a race
2:04
Speaker 4: to get up here because now my whole narrative is changing.
2:09
Speaker 4: And then Argentina scores off just a spectacular header. Both
2:14
Speaker 4: goals were result of messy assists and.
2:21
Speaker 1: Hasn't blown it yet.
2:22
Speaker 4: And for my fellow or for my UK or my
2:27
Speaker 4: English brethren, unfortunately it looks like it's not coming home again. Uh,
2:36
Speaker 4: this it's going to be at this point, it's going
2:38
Speaker 4: to be very tough for England to equalize. And they are,
2:41
Speaker 4: they're they've got a they're going to get a few
2:43
Speaker 4: extra minutes from from the goal scorer during stoppage time,
2:47
Speaker 4: but they're running out of time.
2:52
Speaker 1: Oh no, yep, he's given that the other way again.
2:56
Speaker 1: Holy cow.
2:57
Speaker 7: Like I'm I am in in shock in these and
3:00
Speaker 7: literally the last ten minutes of this game as I
3:05
Speaker 7: got up here to the studios and again seeing that
3:07
Speaker 7: that England was up one nil, and like n the
3:12
Speaker 7: blink of an eye.
3:14
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it honestly, it honestly came about when
3:18
Speaker 4: both sides started their substitutions coming coming off of the
3:24
Speaker 4: hydration break. Argentina went, they pulled the defenders and went
3:27
Speaker 4: with more attackers. England went the opposite way. They pulled
3:30
Speaker 4: their attackers, put out more defenders, went to a five
3:33
Speaker 4: to four to one, and now we've gone final in
3:36
Speaker 4: Argentina will say this is I mean, I I was
3:42
Speaker 4: talking with Kleb before before the show and he was asking,
3:46
Speaker 4: you know why I'm rooting for England, and I was
3:48
Speaker 4: saying honestly just because they've gone so long without winning.
3:52
Speaker 4: But part of it's also it feels like Argentina's had
3:54
Speaker 4: a lot of help, or maybe not a lot of help,
3:57
Speaker 4: but they've had some help along the way to get
4:00
Speaker 4: at this point. But you cannot I've watched every second
4:03
Speaker 4: of this match. There there were no questionable calls, there
4:05
Speaker 4: were there was nothing that makes me think that, you know,
4:08
Speaker 4: there was some narrative going on. This was a classic bout.
4:13
Speaker 4: England came out with a strategy early on that was
4:18
Speaker 4: keeping Argentina from from being effective even getting shots on goal.
4:24
Speaker 4: They got, they got a great goal off of Harry
4:27
Speaker 4: Kane assist. But as was pointed out during halftime and
4:31
Speaker 4: what was pointed out by countless pundits, if this the
4:37
Speaker 4: longer this game goes on, the more it benefits Argentina,
4:42
Speaker 4: and that's really was the case.
4:43
Speaker 7: Well that continued like that continues, whether it's some of
4:48
Speaker 7: how the question like Argentina throughout this entire tournament has
4:53
Speaker 7: proven that and I know this is cliche and I
4:57
Speaker 7: get it, and then you has proven that these matches
5:00
Speaker 7: are not over until the until the referee blows that
5:04
Speaker 7: final whistle.
5:07
Speaker 4: I mean they've also they've also just proven kind of
5:10
Speaker 4: the larger point. And I'm sure we will get into
5:12
Speaker 4: this as we start talking World Cup big picture, that
5:19
Speaker 4: soccer football, however you want to call it, depending on
5:22
Speaker 4: your part of the world. This is a thinking man's game.
5:26
Speaker 4: It is not about the best athletes. I mean, honestly,
5:29
Speaker 4: look at Lionel Messi. He is short, he doesn't quite
5:33
Speaker 4: have dad bod, but he is not a physical specimen
5:37
Speaker 4: like you. You put him up against what top twenty
5:41
Speaker 4: NFL wide receivers, He's not gonna be faster than than them,
5:44
Speaker 4: but especially now at forty one. He's thirty one. But
5:52
Speaker 4: if you and this, this doesn't just apply to Lionel Messi,
5:56
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is anyone on the pitch
5:57
Speaker 4: right now. If you understand the game, if you have
6:01
Speaker 4: grown up playing the game, and you see the field
6:04
Speaker 4: and you see these passing lanes and you have just
6:08
Speaker 4: expert ability with your feet, it doesn't matter if you're faster,
6:14
Speaker 4: it matters can you can you serve it across the
6:18
Speaker 4: field like he did in the ninety first minute to
6:22
Speaker 4: a just a It was a perfect pass over every
6:26
Speaker 4: other head except for the one that counted. Which was
6:29
Speaker 4: Argentina player. Give me a second Martina. Yeah, it was
6:33
Speaker 4: Martinez who.
6:34
Speaker 1: Headed it in.
6:35
Speaker 4: And I mean, that's that's what that's what you have
6:39
Speaker 4: to do, especially in the World Cup, because we're not
6:42
Speaker 4: talking about club soccer where you are putting together a
6:45
Speaker 4: collection of the best players money can buy. This is
6:49
Speaker 4: your squad, of your of your countrymen, and like him
6:54
Speaker 4: or hate them. And I saw a great mean today.
6:58
Speaker 4: It showed two maps of the world world. One was Argentina,
7:02
Speaker 4: so it had the country color had the country cargin
7:05
Speaker 4: Argentina colored in. The other had the rest of the
7:07
Speaker 4: world colored in, and it was Artina. But you can't
7:13
Speaker 4: deny this. This was a spectaclear match. This may I mean, uh,
7:20
Speaker 4: I mean Argentina cape Verde was an all time classic.
7:24
Speaker 4: Mexico England was an all time classic. This this is
7:28
Speaker 4: going to rank up there.
7:31
Speaker 1: Chip Hower Sports Talk.
7:34
Speaker 4: Now that we can start the show.
7:35
Speaker 7: Taken over today by Jason and Jared, Jason Grene, Jared
7:38
Speaker 7: Hicks here, And like we said, you were just gonna
7:40
Speaker 7: have to give us a second as this battle of
7:44
Speaker 7: two world class soccer football teams were just going at
7:51
Speaker 7: each other. And again, as we mentioned and Jared highlighted
7:54
Speaker 7: like ten minutes before we're getting less than ten minutes.
7:58
Speaker 4: Before we're gonna read it was because he even said it.
8:04
Speaker 4: It's five minutes and with possible seven minutes of stoppage
8:09
Speaker 4: time to go. So I mean just in I mean
8:16
Speaker 4: just five I mean five minutes, just about five minutes
8:19
Speaker 4: from maritime Yeah.
8:20
Speaker 7: Oh my good Like and you're just sitting there watching
8:22
Speaker 7: like it's one of those to where just like the
8:25
Speaker 7: entire and England scores in the seventy seventh minutes and
8:29
Speaker 7: so you're just thinking is this going to be the
8:32
Speaker 7: end for Messi and Argentina and the run that they're on,
8:36
Speaker 7: and like you're saying, is this going to be England's
8:39
Speaker 7: time finally?
8:41
Speaker 1: And it looked like especially.
8:43
Speaker 7: After they get past Mexico in Mexico, like you're defeating
8:51
Speaker 7: the Tea on their home, like, Okay, maybe this is
8:53
Speaker 7: the chance for England to get to the final and make.
8:59
Speaker 4: And I mean you you play an incredibly emotional and
9:03
Speaker 4: physical match against Mexico, like you said in Azteca in
9:07
Speaker 4: the house, you know, at the higher altitude all that stuff.
9:10
Speaker 4: You then have to go play Norway in of all places,
9:15
Speaker 4: Miami wait, hold on or no they were was that
9:19
Speaker 4: in Boston?
9:19
Speaker 1: I think that that one was Boston.
9:21
Speaker 4: Okay, but you still have to go play Norway again,
9:26
Speaker 4: another big physical team. UH, but you you played dominantly
9:33
Speaker 4: and I mean like for eighty plus minutes of this match,
9:40
Speaker 4: it really looked like England was in control. And especially
9:43
Speaker 4: when you bring Dan Byrne on at the end. Towards
9:47
Speaker 4: the end, you're thinking for sure this is now you're
9:50
Speaker 4: in just shutdown mode. You're not gonna get anything past
9:53
Speaker 4: the English defense, and then I mean it it was
9:57
Speaker 4: mere minutes. I really do, I really do believe that
10:00
Speaker 4: this was when when they when they do the forensics
10:03
Speaker 4: on this is it's going to be the tactical changes
10:07
Speaker 4: England made at the end that UH will end up
10:11
Speaker 4: being assessed as what cost him. And I mean it's
10:15
Speaker 4: going to be interesting to see, especially the English sports
10:20
Speaker 4: UH pundits, because they're gonna they're going to be fire
10:25
Speaker 4: firing it up in any second. Now when those when
10:29
Speaker 4: those articles start coming across the pond.
10:30
Speaker 1: What can you say?
10:32
Speaker 7: And I hadn't planned, like you said, narratives have completely
10:35
Speaker 7: changed on what we thought that they would be about.
10:37
Speaker 7: What can you say about Lionel Messi, like you mentioned
10:42
Speaker 7: how it's not about just being the most physically gifted,
10:45
Speaker 7: it is knowing your game so well. And I know
10:48
Speaker 7: so many people do these same types of comparison. But
10:51
Speaker 7: when you talk about Tom Brady and being able to
10:54
Speaker 7: play at the age that he was, and it was
10:56
Speaker 7: because he knew exactly what he needed to do to
10:59
Speaker 7: get exactly what he needed out of himself and his players.
11:02
Speaker 7: And while Lebron James is more of a physical specimen
11:06
Speaker 7: than either of them, you talk to anybody that has
11:08
Speaker 7: played with or against Lebron James, he knows the game
11:12
Speaker 7: better than anyone else and the only way that you can.
11:14
Speaker 7: I mean again, he's probably more of a physical specimen
11:17
Speaker 7: than the other two, but to be able to still
11:19
Speaker 7: play at forty one, like he has to know the
11:23
Speaker 7: game equally as well.
11:24
Speaker 4: I think, I honestly believe when you in this, in
11:30
Speaker 4: this comparison, yeah, Liono Messi is probably most comparable to
11:36
Speaker 4: Lebron James because everyone was saying when he was back
11:41
Speaker 4: in Akron in high school, he is, yes, like you
11:46
Speaker 4: can see you can see everything right now.
11:48
Speaker 7: He was going to if he could have been eligible
11:51
Speaker 7: to play to go into the draft as a junior
11:53
Speaker 7: in high school, he would have.
11:54
Speaker 4: Been exactly That was the same for Liono Messi. When
11:57
Speaker 4: he was fourteen fifteen years old, he was already being
12:00
Speaker 4: identified as the next great one. Yes, and I mean
12:04
Speaker 4: think about just kind of think about that as as
12:07
Speaker 4: he is now thirty nine years old. That twenty four
12:10
Speaker 4: years ago, he was already being identified as the next
12:13
Speaker 4: great one out of all the talent in the world.
12:18
Speaker 4: And that and so whereas Tom Brady, I believe his
12:23
Speaker 4: greatness is going to ultimately come from the fact that
12:27
Speaker 4: he he was more of a surprise than anything else.
12:31
Speaker 4: And Bennett, well, and I mean, you know, in the
12:36
Speaker 4: history of Michigan quarterbacks, when you look purely at college,
12:41
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's probably not even in the in
12:43
Speaker 4: the history books in that regard other than just being mentioned.
12:46
Speaker 4: But the difference was they he had. He had the
12:50
Speaker 4: intangibles that once he had that team around him and
12:54
Speaker 4: the coaching around him, they were able to be so dominant.
12:58
Speaker 4: When you look at Argentina, the team is largely built
13:01
Speaker 4: to facilitate Messi. Now it's not that Messi's going to
13:05
Speaker 4: score everything, but they are there to basically fill in
13:09
Speaker 4: the gaps to accentuate his ability, which again is already
13:17
Speaker 4: next level compared to most of the players he's playing
13:20
Speaker 4: with on the pitch, and we can and obviously we're
13:26
Speaker 4: gonna not get what we kind of thought we were
13:28
Speaker 4: gonna get about thirty two minutes ago with the Imbape
13:33
Speaker 4: versus Lino Messi third third place final, which I would
13:40
Speaker 4: expect both of them if Argentina had losses. I would
13:42
Speaker 4: expect them both playing that because guess what those stats count.
13:45
Speaker 4: So if you score goals in that.
13:47
Speaker 1: Third five as they are still battling, they're.
13:49
Speaker 4: Still battling out for the Golden Boot. But you know,
13:54
Speaker 4: that's that is the thing about these truly generation players
14:01
Speaker 4: Lebron James, Alino Messi. And I'm sorry, folks, I again
14:07
Speaker 4: entire narrative had to shift as the show begins. So
14:11
Speaker 4: I am blanking on because I'm trying to think of
14:13
Speaker 4: even female athletes, I mean, Simone Biles. You know, these
14:17
Speaker 4: generational athletes that just have all the have the the
14:20
Speaker 4: tangible and intangible traits, including the mental fortitude to to
14:27
Speaker 4: compete at this level for this long. I mean it,
14:33
Speaker 4: that's why it's special. I mean that's why it's special.
14:35
Speaker 4: I mean, that's why people are paying three and five
14:38
Speaker 4: thousand dollars per ticket to see this live because you
14:42
Speaker 4: are seeing something that you will you can tell kids
14:46
Speaker 4: and tell your grandkids, because you're mentioning names that will
14:50
Speaker 4: be echoed throughout time, like Maradonna, like Pele, you know,
14:57
Speaker 4: going to I guess to bring it home. If for
15:00
Speaker 4: Cowboys fans, you know, Roger Staubach and Emmett Smith and
15:05
Speaker 4: guys like that.
15:07
Speaker 1: This is an unreal.
15:11
Speaker 7: And they're showing Buenos are like, I can't imagine what
15:15
Speaker 7: it's like there right now, knowing how the last twenty
15:20
Speaker 7: minutes or so have been for this match and how
15:24
Speaker 7: important it was. And now Argentina is going up against
15:27
Speaker 7: Spain in the final this weekend, and we're gonna come
15:33
Speaker 7: take a break and come back and actually start the ship. Yes, yeah,
15:37
Speaker 7: because again this was just too big of and wow,
15:42
Speaker 7: just I'm still like literally in shock of how these
15:45
Speaker 7: last few minutes of that match went.
15:46
Speaker 1: As we got ready to come on the.
15:48
Speaker 4: Air, me too.

16:56
Speaker 10: But if you had to pick a derby winner for
16:59
Speaker 10: May and m who would it be.
17:02
Speaker 5: Rodiger's gonna say leavel it. But if it's home run
17:04
Speaker 5: derby where they're just throwing your pitches to hit out, yeah,
17:08
Speaker 5: I may have to go with the old freshman from
17:11
Speaker 5: last year. Jordan Wilson. Okay, I mean, I mean, if
17:14
Speaker 5: they're just throwing your meat balls to hit him.
17:16
Speaker 11: Out, Dylan Roth is pretty darn good. Yeah, you can't
17:20
Speaker 11: go wrong with Gavin. Gavin broke the freshman record that
17:23
Speaker 11: Jay set this year. He got started late with home runs.
17:27
Speaker 11: Just to make it different, I'm gonna go Gavin Grohovic.
17:30
Speaker 1: I like that.
17:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, I had. I just wrote down five so Jace, Caden, Jorian, Gavin,

18:09
Speaker 7: On a Wednesday afternoon, Jason Cornelius Jared.
18:14
Speaker 1: Hicks in.
18:17
Speaker 4: For the remainder of the week yep, next three days,
18:24
Speaker 4: we'll see how the man.
18:26
Speaker 1: We got some rain yesterday.
18:29
Speaker 4: Some I know Jennifer Nations occasionally listens to the show.
18:36
Speaker 4: We do appreciate her support, and I do count her
18:38
Speaker 4: as part of one of our seventy eight, seventy nine,
18:40
Speaker 4: maybe even eighty one listeners. Now, actually, if Audre's listening,
18:44
Speaker 4: by the way, Audra's shoot me a text, that would
18:47
Speaker 4: that would put us into the eighties. But one of
18:50
Speaker 4: the things Jennifer always preaches about is after a day
18:55
Speaker 4: like yesterday, even even like half of what we got yesterday,
19:00
Speaker 4: folks need to just turn off frinklers off. I try
19:06
Speaker 4: to reiterate that now. This morning, I would have presumed
19:12
Speaker 4: that my moisture detector was still wet enough that it
19:17
Speaker 4: would have done the cutoff to the system. No, it
19:21
Speaker 4: was running, so I quickly turned it off. It had
19:22
Speaker 4: been running for about twenty five minutes. But one of
19:25
Speaker 4: the things I noticed is I was I was heading
19:28
Speaker 4: to the gym this morning, was and this is early,
19:30
Speaker 4: this is pretty six o'clock. There were eight other houses
19:34
Speaker 4: on my street sprinkler's running, and I'm sure we all
19:38
Speaker 4: assumed the same thing, and we all got burned. That's
19:41
Speaker 4: why you have to turn it on.
19:43
Speaker 7: I just went out, I went there the last night,
19:44
Speaker 7: just turned it off, just slet out, just said nope,
19:46
Speaker 7: don't even.
19:46
Speaker 1: Take the chance. Yeah, turned it off.
19:48
Speaker 7: You mentioned Dodgers. She was here with us last time.
19:50
Speaker 7: She broke out the a change in the NCAA eligibility
19:56
Speaker 7: rules that said, it doesn't matter what you do, whether
20:01
Speaker 7: when you graduate high school or when you turn nineteen,
20:03
Speaker 7: you've got five years to be able to play in
20:06
Speaker 7: the NC Double A. And what did all of us
20:09
Speaker 7: say as we were sitting here in this room was
20:13
Speaker 7: going to happen?
20:16
Speaker 4: The lawsuits shall commence in the NC DOUBA shall power
20:22
Speaker 4: because they do not have the legal capacity to fight
20:25
Speaker 4: against well versed attorneys and.
20:29
Speaker 7: The NC double And this is the first of what
20:33
Speaker 7: is going to be dozens, if not upon dozens of
20:38
Speaker 7: lawsuits against the NC Double A because and especially now
20:43
Speaker 7: that these student athletes are getting paid the NC Double A.
20:47
Speaker 7: And just like I talked about, and we've talked about
20:49
Speaker 7: so many times. I'm sure people like they always talk
20:52
Speaker 7: about the business and sport, Yeah we do.
20:54
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about the NC Double A doesn't
20:56
Speaker 1: have the.
20:56
Speaker 7: Power to tell people when and for how long they
21:00
Speaker 7: get to work and earn money. And that is what
21:03
Speaker 7: these first law that's what this first lawsuit is coming
21:06
Speaker 7: to say, is saying you were irreparably harming me because
21:10
Speaker 7: you're telling me how long I can earn and the
21:12
Speaker 7: NT double A right now doesn't have the power to
21:15
Speaker 7: do that at least, that's what these lawsuits are going
21:16
Speaker 7: to say.
21:17
Speaker 4: Well, and one of the things I mentioned on that
21:21
Speaker 4: broadcast was the fact this is going to become unless
21:27
Speaker 4: a federal law has passed. And honestly, I don't think
21:31
Speaker 4: you can get enough compromise and concise mindset up in
21:39
Speaker 4: DC to do a federal law of this magnitude. This
21:44
Speaker 4: is going to become a state by state issue. I mean,
21:46
Speaker 4: the you know, first lawsuit was filed in Ohio. This
21:51
Speaker 4: most recent one, this group of eleven athletes was filed
21:54
Speaker 4: in Colorado. You can even I mean, I'm not defending
21:59
Speaker 4: sores be in any way, shape or form, absolutely not.
22:01
Speaker 4: His lawsuit that again, a district judge sided with them
22:08
Speaker 4: basically pointed to these same these same matters, and so
22:11
Speaker 4: you almost now you basically have a precedent set.
22:16
Speaker 7: All of them are all precedents, like all of them
22:18
Speaker 7: are going basically off of the same precedent that the
22:21
Speaker 7: NC double A doesn't have the antitrust protections to be
22:27
Speaker 7: able to tell these these athletes what they can and
22:31
Speaker 7: cannot do. Because again, as I've talked about when even
22:35
Speaker 7: going back to when when I was playing, and what
22:38
Speaker 7: the NC double A did back then, like if you
22:40
Speaker 7: were in the band, if you were a just a
22:44
Speaker 7: student on any other scholarship other than an athletic scholarship,
22:48
Speaker 7: it didn't matter what. You could have a job, you
22:50
Speaker 7: could do anything you want to earn your own income,
22:53
Speaker 7: except if you were a student athlete. And now that
22:55
Speaker 7: that damn has been broken, there is I as you
22:59
Speaker 7: and I can continue to talk about, there is nothing
23:01
Speaker 7: that the NC double A will be able to do
23:03
Speaker 7: to keep this in place. And again you and I
23:05
Speaker 7: are not defending swordsby but that's what he like. It's
23:08
Speaker 7: the It's the exact same no matter how the lawyer's
23:10
Speaker 7: word it, the premise is the same.
23:13
Speaker 1: Who is the NC double A to tell me what
23:15
Speaker 1: I can and can't do to earn money? Correct?
23:17
Speaker 7: And that's where this is going to continue. And again,
23:19
Speaker 7: this is just going to be the first one, well.
23:21
Speaker 4: And I mean again, and because honestly, we kind of
23:27
Speaker 4: we kind of believe that ultimately this is going to
23:32
Speaker 4: lead to and you're going to see it in football
23:36
Speaker 4: where a conference believes it had and they, I mean
23:41
Speaker 4: they already really do has more power than what the
23:43
Speaker 4: NC double A, and so they will they will flat
23:46
Speaker 4: out say if if the NC DOUBLEA wants to go
23:49
Speaker 4: this route, well, we have the television contract, we can
23:54
Speaker 4: just take our ball and go over here, because we
23:57
Speaker 4: have the money and we have the power, and we've
24:00
Speaker 4: already proven that our attorneys are better than your attorneys.
24:03
Speaker 4: So I really do believe.
24:06
Speaker 1: This is.
24:09
Speaker 4: It is an issue that they had decades to work on.
24:16
Speaker 4: They chose to punt. They chose to foolishly believe that
24:21
Speaker 4: they could keep the ruse going. Supreme Court completely decimated
24:25
Speaker 4: them in a nine zero decision. And now you're you're
24:30
Speaker 4: basically trying to to duct tape the broken dam. Water's
24:36
Speaker 4: already pouring out.
24:37
Speaker 1: And it's it's going to continue flooding out.
24:39
Speaker 7: And again until and I've said this and continue to
24:45
Speaker 7: say this, until the NCAA decides to get in this,
24:50
Speaker 7: I don't even know how they would be able to
24:53
Speaker 7: do this because of the amount of student athletes there
24:56
Speaker 7: are across multiple levels to be able to bring this
25:00
Speaker 7: to some sort of collective bargaining where the the athletes
25:05
Speaker 7: have some sort of I wouldn't I wouldn't call it
25:08
Speaker 7: a union because it's it would be too large for
25:11
Speaker 7: it to be union, but some type of group setting
25:13
Speaker 7: to be able to collectively bargain the the contracts of
25:17
Speaker 7: how this is going to work. They will continue to
25:21
Speaker 7: keep getting backhanded by every judge that when when they
25:26
Speaker 7: bring up these different rules that you can't because now
25:28
Speaker 7: again every single time it's you were you were telling
25:31
Speaker 7: me what how much money I can make or for
25:34
Speaker 7: how long I can make it? And the n C
25:36
Speaker 7: double A doesn't have the authority to do that.
25:38
Speaker 4: No, And you know is as odd or pointed out this,
25:43
Speaker 4: this eligibility rule only applies to D one. So you're
25:48
Speaker 4: already in a sense using use or basically penalizing a
25:58
Speaker 4: particular segment or group. Again, I know they are, they are,
26:08
Speaker 4: They're trying to bring some sanity back to this because
26:11
Speaker 4: we because you know, when you're talking about some of
26:16
Speaker 4: these players and we mentioned Carson Beck and Diego Pavla
26:21
Speaker 4: and yeah. I mean when you're on your ninth you're
26:26
Speaker 4: you're literally your ninth year of eligibility in C double A.
26:31
Speaker 4: That's pretty dad Gama absurd.
26:33
Speaker 1: It is, I mean, one thousand produce.
26:37
Speaker 4: As we've pointed out, there is no minor league, professor,
26:43
Speaker 4: there's no minor league to professional football. This is it.
26:46
Speaker 4: It's college football. And now you've now there is an
26:51
Speaker 4: ability to make NFL esque money.
26:57
Speaker 7: Like you're making more as a scene you're at a top,
27:01
Speaker 7: like if you're the starting Carson Beck was making more.
27:03
Speaker 7: He's he's making more as a senior at the University
27:06
Speaker 7: of Miami than he will as a rookie rookie contract.
27:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and and that's just the money that
27:12
Speaker 4: we know about. I mean, there's all the perks that
27:14
Speaker 4: come along with it, which will kind of probably get
27:19
Speaker 4: into when we start talking a little bit of NBA
27:21
Speaker 4: and free agency and all that kind of stuff. But
27:24
Speaker 4: you know, again you have there there has to be
27:30
Speaker 4: a way to to try and whittle down the the
27:37
Speaker 4: eligibility you know that extends beyond I would say, what
27:40
Speaker 4: you know, they chose five. You can probably make an
27:43
Speaker 4: argument that six is reasonable. When you start approaching the decade.
27:47
Speaker 4: That's obviously when it starts getting pretty pretty absurd.
27:50
Speaker 1: You were no longer a student asset, and.
27:54
Speaker 4: And that's it. And you know that's kind of the
27:55
Speaker 4: other part of it. And again there, I mean, there's
28:00
Speaker 4: there's ways to be fraudulent in this when you're talking
28:04
Speaker 4: about when you're talking about the student athletes that have
28:07
Speaker 4: clearly finished schooling.
28:10
Speaker 1: Again, Carson Well is not going to school.
28:12
Speaker 4: Well, even his predecessor at Georgia, I mean Stetson.
28:15
Speaker 1: Bennett was in his eighth year.
28:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was in his eighth year.
28:18
Speaker 12: I mean he was.
28:19
Speaker 4: And you got to know, all he was doing was
28:22
Speaker 4: preparing for starting his own group of Kia dealerships in
28:27
Speaker 4: the Greater Georgia area post college because he ain't gonna
28:30
Speaker 4: play in the NFL for any amount of time.
28:32
Speaker 1: But that's the point.
28:34
Speaker 7: And you say, this is the minor leagues, but you're
28:37
Speaker 7: making as much, if not more than the professionals are.
28:42
Speaker 7: And that's where I go back to, how can the
28:45
Speaker 7: NCAA tell me?
28:46
Speaker 4: And they can't. I mean, again, this is part of
28:48
Speaker 4: the reason why. And I was having this discussion with
28:52
Speaker 4: with coach early about two years ago. If you're college
29:00
Speaker 4: baseball player, there's I mean, there's really no reason to
29:04
Speaker 4: go to the miners unless you're a first round draft.
29:06
Speaker 4: You will make significantly more money.
29:09
Speaker 13: And go riding around on something and have better accommodations
29:13
Speaker 13: in n C Double A baseball than you will if
29:16
Speaker 13: you were playing for the Toledo mud Hens or you
29:19
Speaker 13: know whomever.
29:21
Speaker 4: Especially if if you're not going to be called up
29:23
Speaker 4: to the show within a year or so. I mean that,
29:26
Speaker 4: And you know, going back to to you know, the
29:28
Speaker 4: five year rule. You know that that was used to
29:32
Speaker 4: be the bread and butter of of some college UH programs,
29:36
Speaker 4: including Texas A and M. Because I'm thinking back to
29:39
Speaker 4: Mark Ferris. You want to get that that uh, that
29:42
Speaker 4: baseball player who got drafted and never really got out
29:45
Speaker 4: of the miners. But man, he can come back. He
29:48
Speaker 4: can sling, he can sling the ball, and more importantly,
29:51
Speaker 4: he's mature so he can be a team leader.
29:53
Speaker 1: Yep.
29:54
Speaker 4: I mean you're I don't think you'll you'll probably see
29:57
Speaker 4: that even without the five year rule, You're not going
29:59
Speaker 4: to see that, Moore, because now those guys, they're going
30:01
Speaker 4: to stay in college baseball longer, much longer to then
30:05
Speaker 4: have the opportunity to go to majors.
30:07
Speaker 7: This is I just I saw this when I was
30:09
Speaker 7: sitting there, and not that I was just like oh,
30:12
Speaker 7: but like we all knew that this was going to come,
30:15
Speaker 7: because again when you talk about that Supreme Court decision,
30:18
Speaker 7: when you talk about all the court cases leading up
30:20
Speaker 7: to even the new ones, and again not at all
30:24
Speaker 7: defending Swordsby, but it's all the same thing. Who is
30:28
Speaker 7: the NC DOUBLEA And how can they tell me how
30:30
Speaker 7: long I can do this and how much money I
30:32
Speaker 7: can make?
30:32
Speaker 1: Because you cannot do that anymore. No. No.
30:36
Speaker 7: Two to one was the final for Argentina and England.
30:41
Speaker 7: We're going to get into that a little bit more

34:39
Speaker 7: Sder in the sky Chip Sports Soccer Wednesday afternoon. If
34:47
Speaker 7: you were with us at the start of the show
34:51
Speaker 7: when we didn't start the show because Argentina and England
34:55
Speaker 7: were going at it, and Argentina scores two goals in
35:00
Speaker 7: the last seven minutes and they didn't even they did
35:05
Speaker 7: that before it even got the stoppage time or.
35:08
Speaker 1: It was actually in stoppage time.
35:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first the first Argentina goal comes right at
35:13
Speaker 4: the ninetieth minute. Yeah, so I mean they they scored
35:17
Speaker 4: about it, well eighty is it being rual old, I'm
35:21
Speaker 4: sorry that.
35:22
Speaker 1: We're looking that up. That's exactly when they came in.
35:25
Speaker 4: Come on.
35:27
Speaker 1: And then Argentina go.
35:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, eighty fifth minute.
35:31
Speaker 1: And so yeah, the.
35:32
Speaker 7: Live shot here from Buenos Aires, and I again, I
35:36
Speaker 7: can't imagine what it's like there right now, because you
35:39
Speaker 7: and I, like you said you were, were screaming in
35:43
Speaker 7: trying to get into the studio after picking the girls up.
35:46
Speaker 4: I think I honestly believed we were going to extra time,
35:49
Speaker 4: and that's why I was trying to get up here.
35:51
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, we need to get up here, get
35:52
Speaker 4: the get the game on, start formulating what we're going
35:56
Speaker 4: to talk, how we're gonna how we're gonna do this
35:58
Speaker 4: because we're probably going the extra time at one one.
36:01
Speaker 4: And as I'm getting set up, just a spectacular header
36:06
Speaker 4: from Martinez and again just shows you the.
36:11
Speaker 1: Just the.
36:13
Speaker 4: I hate to use the word blessing, but the blessing
36:15
Speaker 4: is to watch someone with the skill of a Lionel
36:19
Speaker 4: Messi or a Chillian and Bope or you know. For
36:23
Speaker 4: for me and I'm I don't have an England jersey,
36:29
Speaker 4: so I'm wearing my white twenty nineteen Liverpool kit because
36:33
Speaker 4: it's it's the only English thing I have that's red,
36:36
Speaker 4: white and blue. You know, to see Mosala do something
36:43
Speaker 4: as spectacular as that, and especially if you are a
36:46
Speaker 4: nation like Argentina and you saw the I mean you
36:49
Speaker 4: saw the crowd in Buenos Aires, the crowd they showed
36:53
Speaker 4: a video of the crowd in Atlanta outside the stadium.
36:57
Speaker 4: I would say based on the crowdshots I saw of
37:03
Speaker 4: Atlanta Stadium also known as Mercedes Benz Stadium. I love
37:07
Speaker 4: the fact when they have the roof closed, they still
37:09
Speaker 4: that you can't cover up that logo. It's too big.
37:14
Speaker 4: That that crowd was probably sixty forty Argentina to England.
37:18
Speaker 1: About that, yeah, yeah, I mean the.
37:21
Speaker 4: Obviously the big problem we've had with both semi finals
37:25
Speaker 4: is the lower bowl, especially behind the goals. Those are
37:28
Speaker 4: basically all corporate tickets and so you know, you don't
37:32
Speaker 4: necessarily have the the visiting country supporters sitting behind the
37:39
Speaker 4: goal like you had in all your other matches. But
37:44
Speaker 4: one of the things, I guess this is just kind
37:46
Speaker 4: of the El Siico in me show me video of
37:50
Speaker 4: the pubs in England. Oh, especially after that second goal,
37:55
Speaker 4: because over there it's ten. It was ten, was about
37:59
Speaker 4: ten thirty at night when that second goal got Ford,
38:04
Speaker 4: and I cannot imagine how some of those fans, some
38:08
Speaker 4: of those fans and some of those pubs took that,
38:11
Speaker 4: because that is just that's the collective.
38:15
Speaker 7: I'm surprised with it here that here the collective grown
38:20
Speaker 7: of an entire country just lose it when that second
38:25
Speaker 7: goal goes in, like I like, and of course because
38:28
Speaker 7: you've been like I can't imagine what like if it was,
38:34
Speaker 7: and like it like just the the the picturing it was,
38:37
Speaker 7: it just like just straight depression. When does the anger
38:41
Speaker 7: set in, Like cause, I mean again from the seventies,
38:45
Speaker 7: for at the seventy seventh minute and you're up and
38:48
Speaker 7: and things are just going we like.
38:50
Speaker 1: I'm sure the pipes were flowing even more by then.
38:53
Speaker 4: I'm I'm if I'm having to guess, and I'm sure
38:57
Speaker 4: videos will make their way online shortly when the first
39:01
Speaker 4: goal gets scored. I'm sure there is just kind of
39:05
Speaker 4: a sudden sickening feeling because it's like.
39:08
Speaker 1: Here it comes here, it comes battered lion syndrome.
39:12
Speaker 4: Yeap, Do they have that there when it comes when
39:16
Speaker 4: it comes to the national team, Yes, I mean without question,
39:21
Speaker 4: because it it doesn't matter if it's the Euros, it
39:24
Speaker 4: doesn't matter if it's World Cup. It just they they
39:27
Speaker 4: come so close and it gets.
39:30
Speaker 7: Snatched and it was like today they didn't lose that game, No,
39:35
Speaker 7: it was taken from him, like they didn't give it away,
39:39
Speaker 7: like it was aking well and from.
39:42
Speaker 4: Them and you know is they're showing, is they're showing
39:45
Speaker 4: the video and apparently Jude Bellingham also got into a
39:48
Speaker 4: shoving match at the end of the match. But they're showing,
39:51
Speaker 4: they're showing, especially Jude, because he has been so instrumental
39:56
Speaker 4: in this England run, scoring, you know, actually getting himself
40:00
Speaker 4: in the competition for the Golden Boot and he he
40:03
Speaker 4: was just he could not get anything going today. Unfortunately. Uh,
40:10
Speaker 4: the lone England goal came from Anthony Gordon, which you
40:14
Speaker 4: kind of felt like as the match was progressing, the
40:16
Speaker 4: fact that Harry Kane had not been able to score,
40:19
Speaker 4: you Bellingham not been able to score, you figured it's
40:21
Speaker 4: going to come from someone like a Gordon or a
40:23
Speaker 4: Soaka to to to give England that one.
40:28
Speaker 7: And you that gives you that magic feeling of like, God,
40:32
Speaker 7: we're getting a goal from someone that nobody.
40:34
Speaker 4: Expects exactly and and so I and I'm sure and
40:39
Speaker 4: and you really and you saw it on in Bobby's
40:41
Speaker 4: face yesterday with with the the France loss, that your tea,
40:47
Speaker 4: you you carry that weight that your team is counting
40:50
Speaker 4: on you to pull a goal out when seemingly no
40:53
Speaker 4: one else can do it and you just can't do it.
40:55
Speaker 4: And just how heartbreaking it is because as we pointed out,
41:03
Speaker 4: it's gonna be another four years before you get an
41:05
Speaker 4: opportunity to do this again.
41:06
Speaker 7: That is something I can't, like, I can't imagine what
41:11
Speaker 7: the weight of that feels like when it's like with
41:16
Speaker 7: with a lot of these teams and they they're they're
41:19
Speaker 7: speaking of expanding this even more, which based on this one,
41:23
Speaker 7: based on this I think would be good. One thing
41:26
Speaker 7: I was laughing about that when I saw that they
41:28
Speaker 7: were thinking about expanding this to sixty four. Not every
41:32
Speaker 7: host country will have the amount of stadiums as the
41:37
Speaker 7: three of us did, and you're in Canada, Mexico and
41:40
Speaker 7: the United States, or even have the amount of stadiums
41:42
Speaker 7: that the United States have because like every other country
41:45
Speaker 7: when they're having to host the World Cup, they're having
41:47
Speaker 7: to build extra stadiums. And so I'm wondering how expanding
41:51
Speaker 7: this to sixty four is going to look at that.
41:53
Speaker 7: But back to this match, I'm just like, oh, I
41:56
Speaker 7: can't imagine, like after like what that's going to be like.
41:59
Speaker 7: Because again I know Ronaldo said this was his last
42:04
Speaker 7: has Cane said.
42:06
Speaker 4: Pain has not. He's he's actually young.
42:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's younger than MESSI right, but still, but four
42:15
Speaker 7: years is four years is a long time.
42:17
Speaker 4: And he I mean his his body has has taken
42:22
Speaker 4: you know, the game has taken a toll on his body,
42:26
Speaker 4: and especially now that he's playing in the Bundesligue.
42:30
Speaker 1: But I mean, oh, he's younger than I thought. He's
42:32
Speaker 1: only he's thirty two.
42:33
Speaker 4: He's thirty two. If you want something that will really
42:36
Speaker 4: blow your mind. And Bobby's only twenty seven. The man
42:40
Speaker 4: looks like he's thirty eight. I mean when when they
42:46
Speaker 4: told when I saw his age, I'm like, I know,
42:51
Speaker 4: I know he's European. I know he's not you know,
42:54
Speaker 4: he's not smoking the cigarettes and doing all that. But
42:56
Speaker 4: my god, he looks old. He looks old for twenty seven.
43:01
Speaker 4: But dad gum, is he so good. I mean, he's
43:04
Speaker 4: just he's just been entertaining as heck to watch anyway,
43:09
Speaker 4: I would, I would presume Cain comes. He'll make the
43:12
Speaker 4: squad in four years. Now will he be will he
43:16
Speaker 4: be able to play eighty to ninety minutes at that
43:19
Speaker 4: point in time? Well, I mean we'll see U. I
43:22
Speaker 4: mean MESSI was a MESSI was able to go the
43:24
Speaker 4: distance today. You know Ronaldo that that's more just politics
43:31
Speaker 4: with the national team, but I mean he he was
43:34
Speaker 4: still able to play. So we'll we'll, we'll ultimately see
43:37
Speaker 4: we do at least kind of get an entertaining third
43:40
Speaker 4: place match against with France and England. It might be
43:44
Speaker 4: a It may be a.
43:47
Speaker 12: Preview of the Euros in three years, although I do
43:52
Speaker 12: believe the other team representing Europe that's going to be
43:56
Speaker 12: in the final.
43:58
Speaker 4: We might be looking at a putt In dynasty with Spain.
44:02
Speaker 1: With Spain, yeah, they're looking very good too.
44:04
Speaker 4: And they're young.

47:59
Speaker 7: You and I have lost track of how many years
48:02
Speaker 7: we've been doing this, but we've been coming up here
48:06
Speaker 7: to Crystal Park Plaza for quite some time, and in.
48:12
Speaker 1: All those years, like.
48:16
Speaker 7: We know that when it rains heavily, stay away from
48:21
Speaker 7: the back parking lot.
48:22
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I thought for sure we were going
48:27
Speaker 4: to get another viral video.
48:30
Speaker 1: How is that not? Like?
48:31
Speaker 7: How is how is that not known in the city
48:33
Speaker 7: of College Station that this this building on the side
48:38
Speaker 7: B Creek runs.
48:39
Speaker 4: Through the back of that Not just that, I mean
48:44
Speaker 4: a first and foremost I was so glad that we
48:47
Speaker 4: didn't have to host yesterday because that's all I could
48:50
Speaker 4: think about was that parking lot. But more importantly, I
48:55
Speaker 4: mean it was just a year ago, yep, that the
48:58
Speaker 4: video went not to viral, it was on national news.
49:03
Speaker 4: It is the perfect example of turnaround, don't drown, do
49:06
Speaker 4: not drive into a a boy water that you can't
49:12
Speaker 4: you do not know.
49:13
Speaker 7: You can't see it, like when that backparking lot flowed,
49:16
Speaker 7: you can't see anything.
49:18
Speaker 4: And basic only the video yesterday. I think yesterday was
49:20
Speaker 4: even worse. Yesterday looked like it was so much muddier
49:22
Speaker 4: than what it normally is, and so it was almost
49:24
Speaker 4: impossible to tell what was parking lot and what was
49:27
Speaker 4: water at certain points. So it's just like, don't even bother.
49:30
Speaker 1: Don't yet turn around just to turn out.
49:32
Speaker 7: But yeah, to see that it happened again, I'm just like,
49:34
Speaker 7: you've got to be getting me.
49:36
Speaker 4: So while we are on the subject, because you brought
49:38
Speaker 4: up highway sex, yes, and I'm I'm very appreciative of
49:41
Speaker 4: the fact. You know, our trusted local late night or
49:48
Speaker 4: evening news anchor, Rusty Sirette has basically made it his
49:53
Speaker 4: mission to to show the idiocracy that is driving in
49:59
Speaker 4: vcs oh that one. Yes, folks, And I know I'm preaching.
50:04
Speaker 4: I'm hopefully preaching to the choir here to our eighty
50:06
Speaker 4: three listeners. But you, eighty three people know people, and
50:10
Speaker 4: those people know people, and so we need to we
50:13
Speaker 4: need to get this text chain going Highway six northbound
50:21
Speaker 4: at the Texas Avenue exit.
50:23
Speaker 1: But it's a left exit.
50:24
Speaker 4: It's always been a left exit. Nothing has changed about
50:29
Speaker 4: the fact that it is a left exit. The thing
50:31
Speaker 4: that has changed now is there are concrete walls that
50:37
Speaker 4: you need to make sure that you are in a
50:39
Speaker 4: proper lane and know where you are headed before you
50:44
Speaker 4: come to said exit, because I have he's been posting
50:48
Speaker 4: the videos, but I've been witnessing this for weeks now
50:51
Speaker 4: and it's driving me nuts. It's also another reason why
50:53
Speaker 4: I am keeping like three or four carlingk distance. People
50:58
Speaker 4: are for whatever reason, they are in the right lane
51:02
Speaker 4: and at the last second decide now I'm gonna get
51:05
Speaker 4: all the way over to the left to try and.
51:07
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to get on Texas Avenue. Yes.
51:10
Speaker 4: Conversely, there are people who are in the left lane
51:14
Speaker 4: and I don't know if they're just following that yellow
51:17
Speaker 4: line and then realize, Oh wait, I want to stay
51:19
Speaker 4: on the highway and then all of a sudden violently
51:22
Speaker 4: jerk to the right and are their Nascar rubbing the
51:27
Speaker 4: vehicles next to them? Folks, it's sixty miles an hour.
51:32
Speaker 4: Put some car, Just put a couple of car links
51:35
Speaker 4: and know where you are going, because it's just gonna
51:39
Speaker 4: get worse. This is happening now, Wait till school starts back,
51:44
Speaker 4: Wait till the students come back. It's it's gonna be bad.
51:50
Speaker 4: So let's get in the habit right now.
51:53
Speaker 7: Because again, especially like if you're exiting, I mean either
51:57
Speaker 7: of them on either side now with those concrete baits
52:00
Speaker 7: are basically the death Star trench.
52:02
Speaker 1: Yes, before like you you have to be oh I am,
52:05
Speaker 1: I am?
52:06
Speaker 4: And I have to exit Texas Avenue quite a bit.
52:09
Speaker 4: I get so claustrophobic driving through there, and especially if
52:13
Speaker 4: I see any kind of eighteen wheeler in front of me,
52:16
Speaker 4: I'm just like, how are you even navigating?
52:18
Speaker 7: It's not the it's not the northbound one where you
52:21
Speaker 7: stay on Highay that gets me. It's the one where
52:23
Speaker 7: you exit like and it's it gets it gets real
52:26
Speaker 7: tight in there on a couple like on a couple
52:28
Speaker 7: of terms before you get back on the main part
52:31
Speaker 7: of Texas Avenue.
52:32
Speaker 4: I joked. And this is not to impugne the work
52:35
Speaker 4: of the construction of floor or any of the construction crews.
52:40
Speaker 4: It just feels like this is a This is what
52:43
Speaker 4: a three year old does with connects or whatever toys
52:49
Speaker 4: they use to create walls. It it and and I
52:54
Speaker 4: think the most deceiving part is that yellow stripe because
52:59
Speaker 4: if you're if you're using that as your guideline, I
53:01
Speaker 4: hate to break it to you, especially in the wee
53:04
Speaker 4: hours of the morning, don't use the yellow lane. The
53:07
Speaker 4: yellow line is your guideline because guess what, it runs
53:09
Speaker 4: right into the wall. It's just there because it used
53:13
Speaker 4: to be there. Yeah, I'm when I was on the
53:19
Speaker 4: feeder just south of Rockberry, I hadn't realized all the
53:24
Speaker 4: work they had done. That thing's the area between the
53:27
Speaker 4: two walls Highway six to the feeder. It's just about level.
53:30
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if you think about I mean, I've been
53:33
Speaker 4: impressed with how much earth they've brought in at University
53:37
Speaker 4: in six to end up making what they're gonna have
53:39
Speaker 4: to make there. That right there. I can't believe I've
53:42
Speaker 4: never in forty years of living here, I've never seen
53:46
Speaker 4: it level from feeder down the highway, and now it is.
53:49
Speaker 1: That what I have heard.
53:52
Speaker 7: I think we talked about this before, like tex Dot
53:54
Speaker 7: said that they are not used to having this much
53:58
Speaker 7: room basically to play. So when you're talking about like
54:01
Speaker 7: it's it's kids with like the kinetic block and everything
54:04
Speaker 7: like that, that's what I think it feels like for
54:06
Speaker 7: them because they're used to working in much tighter spaces
54:09
Speaker 7: to expand, and here, thankfully they've got the room to play.
54:15
Speaker 7: As what they're doing, which is and I know, and
54:17
Speaker 7: I know I am jinxing everybody here in the community.
54:20
Speaker 7: It feels like they are moving at like warp speed.
54:24
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't, I mean, it really is. I just
54:28
Speaker 4: I love trying to figure out what what are they
54:33
Speaker 4: How is this going to work? Because I can see
54:36
Speaker 4: where they've poured and it's probably it's probably not the
54:39
Speaker 4: permanent it's probably the temporary Texas Avenue exit and it
54:45
Speaker 4: looks big and wide, but it seems to run right
54:47
Speaker 4: into those giant concrete pillars that they're pouring right now.
54:51
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm that part. I'm trying to figure out. Okay,
54:53
Speaker 4: what is this going?
54:54
Speaker 1: What I think and it took me on.
54:57
Speaker 7: What I'm thinking now is because Texas Avenue was going
55:00
Speaker 7: to now be a right exit highway six northbound is
55:03
Speaker 7: going to be that fly light and everything Texas Avenue
55:05
Speaker 7: is going to go under the new flyover. And so
55:08
Speaker 7: I think that's that's what we're seeing now. That's going
55:10
Speaker 7: to be interesting to see both southbound and northbound be
55:13
Speaker 7: the flyover.
55:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, to do that, And that's what because the girls
55:17
Speaker 4: were saying those those columns just look big and ugly
55:19
Speaker 4: and like, well they got to be big. Is that
55:21
Speaker 4: they're going to carry six lanes of traffic over them.
55:25
Speaker 4: Oh my god, six lane.
55:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that is exactly what's gonna love.
55:32
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's that's been the even if we look
55:34
Speaker 7: right here like it, it really does feel like and
55:38
Speaker 7: they're not going to be done in six years, like
55:39
Speaker 7: that's not gonna happened.
55:40
Speaker 1: But it seems as though.
55:42
Speaker 4: Still still still setting the over under at eight.
55:45
Speaker 7: But it seems as though they are really working quickly
55:49
Speaker 7: on on that. However, back to our original point, sixty
55:52
Speaker 7: miles an hour, Yes, especially through like it, especially through there,
55:57
Speaker 7: that's a that was a horrible interchange before all of this,
56:03
Speaker 7: and now for it to be kind of where it is,
56:06
Speaker 7: I'm just just we can we can take our time
56:08
Speaker 7: people through.
56:09
Speaker 1: There and no where you go like know where you're going.
56:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, the other part, the the other, the other thing.
56:14
Speaker 4: And I know this is impossible to do the oversized loads.
56:19
Speaker 4: I just I wish, you know, for the next fix
56:21
Speaker 4: years there was a way that they did not have
56:23
Speaker 4: to come through here, because those are the ones that
56:26
Speaker 4: really just make me so nervous when I'm when I'm
56:32
Speaker 4: either when especially when I'm behind them, but as I'm
56:36
Speaker 4: driving past them and just see all the cars, I'm
56:38
Speaker 4: like this, this can only end badly, especially when you
56:42
