  Speaker 1: had an opportunity to check out that broadcast live, you
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: should check it out because we are talked a lot

  Speaker 3: Good to be on tonight.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I know you were fulfilling an obligation with the Polish
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Sports Hall of Fame earlier. It's okay, we just sub
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to the George King for George Richards. I'd say, you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it was a good exchange at least for tonight's programming.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But that's a let me give everybody an overview about
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Fuchilian, it's worst. I'm sure I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: can have more positive titles, but when you get to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: just of the topics, you'll understand. Talk about the Seattle
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Mariners handling of Scott Service. Joe Wellis gets to talk
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: about the Chicago White Sox to a tag of low Oh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I got something interesting for him. And I have another
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: inspirational rap, which I'll get to in a moment, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: then everybody will have an opportunity to talk about the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: college football game that they're looking forward to. And I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: want to go over a parting shot that coach John
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Bonamego ended up making, and again it'll be on We'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: go ahead and mention it on next week's edition of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the Sports Exchange, or at least we'll try it. Candy's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: making that a short right now, but I'll give you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much an opportunity to overview, in addition to the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: fact that it is on the software tribute and YouTube
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: channel on er inside the pick Skin Graduating versus Winning.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to a former Seattle Mariners manager.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Scott's Service was part of the organization for nine years
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and snapped a long playoff drought. He was fired off
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of accent Twitter. All right, Katie, we're gonna lead off
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with you. There's lots of ways that you could go ahead,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: get let go, but I'm not so sure this is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: one that most people would like to be a part of.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: You know, social media has no place for people to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: announce whether you're hired or fired on it. That's something
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you do in person. I don't care who you are,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I don't care what's going on within the organization, within
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: an I don't care if you're pissed off everybody. Social
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: media is not the place for that kind of announcement
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: before you've told the actual individual. Have the decency to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: have the tough conversation because obviously it is nobody likes
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to get fired, and nobody likes to be the person
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: firing the person. Well, maybe some people take pleasure in that,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: but normally not right and do it heads up, face
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to face. And then if you want to spew it
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: all over social media, you can, but the first person
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is the person you're actually dealing with. Have the guts
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to have that conversation first.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: George, Yeah, he's fifty seven years old, and I don't
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: care if you're fifty seven or your thirty seven or
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: you're eighty seven. You know, these kind of things cannot
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: be handled through social media. Scott Servius has done well,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: you know, coming over from the LA Dodgers, as I recall,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: and I you know, I know they've they've gone bottom up. Okay,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I know things have been terrible for the Mariners this season,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: or the most recent part of the season, if you will,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: as their lead was blown and Houstonson first. But Scott
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: is a baseball man, he's a good mind, he's a
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: good teacher. Things didn't go exactly as they should. But
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: like I said, no one deserves to be fired that way.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Nobody should have to read about it. In the old
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: days read about it in the newspaper, but in the
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: new age of course, at social media. And despite the
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: fact that you know, he helped overcome a twenty one
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: year playoff drought a couple of years back, it's all
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: about what have you done for me lately? Am I
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: surprised he got fired? No, but I do not like
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the way it was handled. Scott Candy and JB.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: JB.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Good segue George over to JB. Ellis as ways to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: get going there's ways not to. It sounds like we've
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: just looked at the way not too.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Joe Listen, it was completely and utterly unprofessional. But on
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: the other hand, when you're a manager of a team,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: you have a contract, whether you get fired or not,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: unless it's for a cause, which wasn't for cause he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: going to get paid, it doesn't really matter how he
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: got fired, you know, just wasn't a bad move on
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: the organization, of course. But you know what, Scott Service
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: could laugh about it for the rest of the year
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: until his contract is completely up and he gets to
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: last me check because he's the one that's going to
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: be laughing because he's getting paid to do absolutely nothing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: You know, the fool hired him and fired him. Don't
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: know how to handle an organization. So I'd actually, if
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I was to be happy to be out of there,
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I just keep taking my money because the guy knows
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: how to manage a baseball team, you know, just b
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: read it to some bad luck. But he'll still be
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: getting his paycheck. So it doesn't matter how we got fired.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: If I was saying I keep my head up and
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: say you don't. I'm too good for you guys anyway.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you just took the words right out
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of my mouth at the time when my voice needs
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a break. You probably gave me
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a brick on his first topic because you're gonna lead
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: off with the next one anyways. But I agree there
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: are certain ways to get let go though social media
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: agree is in one of them. But if out of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: mine as you're getting paid anyway. So I remember years
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: ago when Larry Brown wanted to go to the New
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: York Knicks Bill Davidson game of five million dollars check
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to get out of here. We don't need you anyways,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and you know, but that beside the point. So I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: don't think social media is a way to do it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But then again, how many people, big names people have
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: been let go. But it's about taking the money, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Seantle doesn't make the playoffs and they struggle and they
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: go down badly. This is a move that they can
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: bite him really badly later on. But hey, you've got
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the rest of somewhere off de side what he wants
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to do. And whenever he's left on his contract, no problem.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We're got your golf game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Scott.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: From one got to another, all right, Well, that said
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: jb Ellis. Goes ahead, we'll get the lead on it
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: if he lives in the metropolitan Chicago or I say
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: metropolitan Chicago area. The White Sox became the second fastest
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: team in modern MLB history to lose one hundred games.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts about that?
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: This is strictly to you anyways, Listen, this is a
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: dysfunctional team. You know, a couple of years ago, this
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: team was a playoff team. I don't understand how it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: fallen off so quickly. I get there's injuries. Guys have
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: been hurt throughout the year, but you know, there comes
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: a point where your team just has no heart and
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: they're just not into playing baseball.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: You know, we just talked about how Scott's Service can
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: laugh and take the money for out the rest of
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: the year. The problem is you can't fire players. You
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: can demote them if they have options left, but otherwise
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: they're getting paid to play, and you know they just
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: don't have the heart to play or they're not good
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: enough at anymore. And you can't just replace a whole organization.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: You know, it's not like there's a go get some
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: resumes and get new guys to come, you know, not
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: going to hire George to play first base for the
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: White Sox tomorrow. You know, office resume, it doesn't work
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: that way. They're in trouble. This is just a bad organization.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not one that ever says maybe the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: owner should sell, but it's just dysfunctioned all over. You know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: you've got to start somewhere, and maybe the order needs
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: to go. Maybe you need to replace the whole front
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: office and you know, new coaching throughout the whole system
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: from you know, a ball through the majors. But something's
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: got to be done because this is an embarrassment. I mean,
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: I know they only have three fans anyway, but you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: this is a complete embarrassment.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It really is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that fastest, one of the fastest
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: teams ever. Candy, do you have an opinion on this
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: one at all about the White Sox. I know we
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: address this on the Baseball Show, but what are your
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: thoughts about what's going on on the South Side.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's sad to see because some of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: those are young players and this is a bad look
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: on them because if if they're not putting everything into it,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and if they've lost all their motivations. Who would want
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: them even next year, Like let's say their contracts are
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: up and stuff like that, who's gonna want them to
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: be on their team because if they can't, I mean,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you're not always gonna win. I know baseball is a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: long season, and I know there's injuries, but the Chicago
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: White Sox isn't the lowest payroll in the league, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I mean no offense. The Miami Marlins are still playing,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and they've been out of it for so long, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: they still are interesting to watch and give. Their rookies
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: are really coming forward, They're really playing hard. I mean,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: that's one of the teams I can look at it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I can also look at it with the Milwaukee Brewers
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: because you all know that I'm a Brewers fan. They've
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: had numerous injuries and they have a new coach, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: yet look at they're doing rather well this year. I mean,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I don't want to jinx it would you know, want
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to see them go far. But you gotta have heart.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You got to have a love of the game and
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: play like you have a love for the game. You
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: are your job is to play a game. I would
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: love give me any of their salaries, and I'd go
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: out and play any one of their salaries. I'd take
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it in a heartbeat and go out and play the
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: game better and with more heart than they're playing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Well, you're not liking alone on the money side.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Count Come on, Candy, seriously, but here, the reason why
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the Marlins are at least playing hard is you have
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a manager of Skip Schumacher who will be able to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: will get rehired in a second act. And the reason
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: why the Brewers are relevant is because you got Pat Murphy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And when Craig Counsel left, all the coaches stayed with
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Murphy and they didn't go to the Commy. So it
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: can't be a freak that's Cott Newt. I understand where
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you're coming from. The Brewers seriously. I mean, you know
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you got to have good coaches who we have, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: let's fas it the Brewers do. I mean, evidently Pat
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Murphy must have been a good salesman to keep them
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all there. Will Craig Cartel has to literally start all
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: over with the group that he had. But yeah, I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: want to get back to the original point. You're right, Joe.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I know I made it exclusive to you, but then
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he got a little bit more interesting.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: White Sox got some issues, and they have a lot
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of them. The question is who would want that job?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Knowing the shape that that's said. You know, who knows
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: how much they're going to offer him to take it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's certainly a story that we're definitely gonna follow.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Candy, you can talk all you want about salaries.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But the White Sox, their total payroll is one hundred
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and seventeen million and the Brewers is ninety four. Okay,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and yet the Brewers are playing a heck of a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: lot better than the Chicago White Sox.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But if you want to sit here and get in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a rebuttal with mealver Jbi's topic, I can tell you
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: right now that the Brewers' front office has been far
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: more confident than the White Sox the least several years.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But the reality of the situation is, even though the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: White Sox are spending north of one hundred million dollars,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: reality is that's a dumpster fire there, and it's a job.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You know that many people would think twice about the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: other one that's been able to win their in recent
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: years is Izi Gan and he ran himself out of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: baseball because he couldn't keep his mouth shut in Miami
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: talking about nationality that ran him out there on the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Marlins at the table he had been back Ozi gans
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the only one who's been able to win there. But
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: we'll leave it at that. So one more thing. We're
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: gonna get to topic and they can't do a station break.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And this one here, to me still blows my mind.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: To attack of low tag of by. Lowell criticized former
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Dolphins coach Brian Floyd, comparing his negative coaching style to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the supportive approach of current coach Mike mcgannell, which to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a credit for his improved performance. All right, JB, you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: know what to attack maloa throwing his old coach under
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the bus.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Some thoughts, listen, a lot of thoughts on this one.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: First thing is Flores was horrible with the way he
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: handled to it. It was obviously that he didn't want
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: him there. You know, he would bench him late in
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: games and put it Fitzpatrick when Tua was his starter
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: and played you know, two and a half three quarters
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: in a close game, or we're going to take the
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: rookie out and we're gonna put Fitzpatrick and you don't
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: do that. He has to learn how to play in
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: those fourth quarters because he's going to be your guy
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: five ten years from now. Fitzpatrick's going to be in
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: a nursing home by that. Secondly, you know, you break
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: in the kid's confidence. And yet he just showed up
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: for work the next day and the next day and
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: he did the same thing. And he just went there
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: and performed. So I give him a lot of credit.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: He's an ultimate pro. He handled things the way he
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: should have and he didn't bring this topic up back
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: then what he should have brought it up when they
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: benched him multiple times during games, because I know I
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: brought it up on my show every week when they
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: did that. Secondly, you know, McDaniels has shown that he has,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: you know, confidence in him. He's the guy that's going
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: to leave the offense and he wants him to. And
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: when you're a young quarterback who could be a future star,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: that's what you want your head coach. You want to
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: have that that symmetry. You want to have the coach
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: in the quarterback on the same page, kind of like
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. You know, that's great when
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: you're the quarterback and your coach believes in you. You
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: know he's calling place because he knows you can handle it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: So you know, Flores was obvious the guy didn't want
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: him there and he didn't know how to coach, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: you know, good for good for to say something. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: don't think he was wrong for it. I don't think
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: it affected his play last year. I just think he
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: was asked a question he answered honestly. I think it's
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: a non story.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Turn up Teddy, non story or story going you throw
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: your coach under the bus after the fact instead of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: doing it when he could have done it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong with what he said,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: because what he's saying is how he felt and what
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: was said to him. Not everybody is going to like
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the coach that you are playing for. Not everybody's gonna agree.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Not everybody works well with everybody. It's the same in
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: any line of work. You have. One of the things
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that they tell us as managers and stuff like that
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: is people don't lose. People don't leave jobs. They leave managers.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: They leave people that are trying to leave them. If
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: they don't get along with them, that's why they leave.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: If so, and not everybody has the same coaching style.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Some people like it like tough love, some people don't.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Some people need more encouragement. Sometimes it depends on where
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you are in your career whether you need more micromanagement,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: more hands on coaching. So is he wrong to do it, No,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Brian Flores. Some people were meant to coach, be head coaches,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and some people were meant to just be you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: assistant coaches or on the defensive side or the you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: offensive side. I also think that as as younger players
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: are coming forward, and we all know this, people are
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: way more vocal, but some people want they can't take
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the tough, hard love as well. I think we all
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: talk about how we have to be politically correct, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I get that, but I think this younger generation can't
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: take some of the criticism that we doled out maybe
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty years ago.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: That fair, George, Well, it's a recipe for disaster when
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: a coach, especially a head coach, and a star player
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: don't get along. So this is a perfect textbook example.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Of what went wrong.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: He was only nineteen fourteen the years that he too
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and Flores were together down in Miami, and things have
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: turned around. Now he really blossomed the last year or two.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: But I think they both have to take lessons from this.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: It's very difficult to, you know, to recover from a
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: war of words such as that. It's not to say
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: that they don't have a right to speak, of course
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: they do. But I think you'll see a common thread
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: in most of the winning programs in the NFL, and
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: that is that people get along, or at least they
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: have the respect for one another. You look at the
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Don Shulas of the world and the George Hallis, the
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Vince Lombardes and great coaches like that. I mean, you
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: don't see that kind of bickering back and forth with
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: your players. Now both sides are they both have a
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: stake in this. Obviously, Tua knows that he probably talked
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: a little bit too much, but Flores knows too. In
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: his new role with Minnesota, he realizes that he's not
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: the head coach, but you still got to have the
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: kind of have the respect of your players that you're coaching,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: and if you don't, you're in big trouble. So I
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: wish Flores well, but I know he realizes that some
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: things that were said and comments that were made on
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: both sides, were not appropriate in order to establish a
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: winning a winning combination down there in Miami.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Well, let's say it's the reality. Bill Belichick coaching Tree
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: hasn't really outperformed anything either. I mean, how many of
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: them have really gone on to do anything. The closest
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: one that I thought did anything with Bill O'Brien, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: he did it with the Houston Texans. Now to Flora defense, Okay,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell says, because that's who his occurrent employer says.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You know, he gets along with all of his people,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So whatever happened down there, he certainly have every right
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to defend the guy that he's working for. Now, will
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: this prevent Brian Fores getting a future head coaching job?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You never know, because nowadays you see a lot of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: younger quarterbacks in the league. So if he handled two
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of this way, is he's going to handle the next guy?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And that's where you have a bit of a dysfunction
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: here about how it goes. I just didn't like to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: calling out floors in public. If you really, to me,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: had something to say to him, somewhere along the lines,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: you got to arrange a meeting. Zoom call or whatever
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and get it out there. But you know, let's face reality,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: though two have just collected. He got a contract extension
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: as well, so he can think, he can think, Mike
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: McDaniel that And I can assure you one thing that
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Brian Flores and two tag of Lowell will not be
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: exchanging any Christmas cards any time, I assume. But the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: one thing that we are going to do is give
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it or to Kadie Eveling for a station break, real.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Quick, Scott, just before we do that. I'm the way
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: he was embarrassed multiple times. He could talk about Brian
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Flores from today until the end of his life and
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I would have no problem with it. You know, it's
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: the NFL. If you watch which we all watch tons
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: of NFL games, you don't see starting quarterbacks benched regularly
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: in the third quarter of the fourth quarter a lesson,
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: it's a blowout, you know, or there's an injury he
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: that happened to him multiple times in the same season
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: as a young quarterback. That just you know, that can
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: destroy his confidence in his development. So if he wants
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: to talk about Brian if laures every day, as long
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: as he comes out and plays good football, I have
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: no problem with the go go, all out.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a valid point by all means. You know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: let's face thing I'll say about too. At least last
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: year he played all seventeen games. There in mind, there
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: was no Ryan Fitzpatrick. You know, last year he didn't
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: need him. But let's face the reality. You know, Toua's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: injury history doesn't help him either. Well, you know, when
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: he was drafted into Miami, so he needed a capable
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback, and you were fortunate to even have.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Ryan Fitzpatrick on the roster.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yet, to me, the Dolphins don't mean anything until they
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: proved that they can win in February and December, in January.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: You know, now we'll just see whether Tua can own
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: up to the contract sension that he has. But Joe,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you make a very valid point, so I have no
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. But now we'll see that he's being
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: paid all this money, can he keep consistency and stay vertical?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: So all right, but thanks for bringing up Joe Off.
• 21:46

• 24:23
  Speaker 1: this one really came across as really inspirational. So I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: want to wish a very inspirational rest in peace. Woman
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: by the name of Maria brand Is Morrera, the world's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: oldest person, who died last week at age one hundred
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and seventeen in Spain. I repeat, one hundred and seventeen
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: in Spain. She was the eighth oldest person with a
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: verifiable age in history. Joe, I'm working as hard as
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I can to get to sixty two. This woman made
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: it to one hundred and seventeen. My goodness. I mean, really,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this is unbelievable, isn't it. One hundred and seventeen.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: That's amazing. Hopefully they were, you know, good most of
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: those years, because that's a long time.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: What could you do in one hundred years on this planet?
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Man, I don't know I'm up for like, you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: four or five hundred. I'm okay, let's let's do it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Sign you. I love it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I really really enjoy your positive attitude. George, one hundred
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and seventeen years. Well, you know that's why this topic
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: made the Big show because we still aren't talking numbers,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: but a different kind of number.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: One one seven.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, that is quite a milestone, no question about it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I have a dear aunt, Tomine, who turns one hundred
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: and one in early November. So it is a very
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: remarkable feat anybody who hits one hundred and over. But
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: one hundred and seventeen, Wow, you know, she probably outlived
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: everybody in her family. But hey, she's got a wonderful life.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: She probably led, and I'm sure she took good care
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: of her body and her and her you know, food
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: and drink consumptions and things like that, because that is
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: really something special and remarkable to.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Live that long.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: So hey, hats off to her and to her family too,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: and everybody that that has known and met her.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, Candy, So she was an American born Spanish woman.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: She was born. Let me see what it told me.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I was looking at the article. She she has survived.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Her survivors include her two daughters, who are ninety one
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and eighty two, and many grand children. She she suffered
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: hearing and vision loss in the recent years. She still
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: had no indication of cancer, heart disease, or any other
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: mortal illnesses. She also never showed signs of dementia. She
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: was born before the emergence of the telephone. Think about that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: She came all the way to embrace digital revolution, including
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: or fashioning herself on social media. Even she she doesn't.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: She said that she did nothing special. She actually has
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: memories of D Day and the invasion of Normandy. She uh,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: she's quite She was actually born March fourth, nineteen oh seven,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco. She grew up in several American cities,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: including New Orleans, where her father, a journalist, started a
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Spanish language magazine that actually went bankrupt. She has just
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a long and she said that that she didn't do
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: anything special. The only things that she did say is
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: she's never smoked and she did exercise moderately. She was
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: a survivor of war and various hardships, which she thinks
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: has helped her stay alive as long as she did.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: But kudos to her because it sounds like, I mean,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna if you're gonna live that long, it
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: sounds like she was all with it. I never want
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: to not be with it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: So kudos to her amazing story. Folks, Like I told you,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: if I think it's interesting, I don't care what show
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: is going on, but most likely it hits this one,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the Sports Exchange. Anyways, Hey, more power to this woman.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I've never ever gone out there and changed anything,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: but to me, I live every days where my last
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and as Candy will probably tell you, that probably might
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: be a reason why I generally meet my insurance deductible
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: in February. But who cares. I mean, you know, with
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: this woman here, unbelievable one hundred and seventeen. Let me
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: get to sixty two, sixty five, you know, but unbelievable
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen years old.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: That's a lot.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: That to me is a lot of life to be
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: considered amongst the eighth oldest person ever in the world.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: And we'll talking about the world people, That's what we're
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: talking about, all right. Well, you know what, we'll move
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: on from the world oldest person to college football because
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: we have that coming up this weekend. Candy, Emily and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I will be traveling up to Gainesville to see the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes take on the Florida Gators. But we'll let
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Candy comment on this laugh, because I'm sure she probably
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: would liked to wait to see if everybody else, or
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: do you want to talk about first Candy pictured.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Nope, it's okay, go ahead, Joe.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: What game you looking forward to this weekend?
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame, Texas A and M I think, you know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: I want to see how good Notre Dame really is.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: And I think that's a great test to start the season.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Having to go on the road there. They have a tough,
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: tough fan base, they're lowed they get into the game,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: and the hostile environment for Notre Dame, whoeveryone always expects
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: to be a top, you know, top school and their
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: schedule isn't that tough this year, so you know, this
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: is a must win for them.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: George, Well, for me, of course, it's going to have
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: to be Michigan. Michigan hosting Fresno State Saturday night, seven
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: thirty pm on NBCA. You know, everybody in the country
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: will be watching to see how they Wolverines do in
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: their first game without Jim Harborough as coach, in the
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: first game in several years without JJ McCarthy as their quarterback.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: A lot of question marks on Michigan, a lot of
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: people wondering if they can even you know, hang in
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: there with team like Ohio State and Oregon and you
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: know the new Big Ten look this year with you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: the additional teams, and then Michigan. Of course, the Fresno
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: State is no pushover. And then and then later on
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: they got a big game with Texas that's on the schedule.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: But first things first, the big crowd Saturday night U
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: of M. I think Michigan will come out on top,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: but it's going to be an interesting game because, like
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I said, a lot of new players both teams, but
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: especially on Michigan, a new head coach, and we'll see
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: what kind of new wrinkles they might have offensively and
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: defensively as they tried to defend their national title.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: What about you, Candy, So obviously you already let the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: cat out of the bag that yes, we are covering
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the Miami Hurricanes at the Swamp Gator Land. It is
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: the last of the big stadiums in Florida that I
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: have not been to. This will be the last of
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: my first here. I've been to the Jaguars, the Buccaneers,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins. I've been to the Hurricanes. I've been to USF.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I've been to FAU, I've been to the Marlins. I've
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: hit all of those stadiums. I hit the ones in
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Orlando as well, so it's the last of the big ones.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: So that obviously is gonna be the game of the
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: week for me. The game of the week that might
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: be for a lot of other people they might be
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: looking forward to. I would say would be Clemson Georgia
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: because we're talking fourteen against a one, so two nationally
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: ranked teams, so that'll be interesting as well, But definitely
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: for me, it's the Hurricanes and the Gators.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Well I'll go Hurricanes a Gator, But you know what
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I feel. Number one, I'm just happy for you that
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to go on the field because
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the look on your face when you're on that field
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: will remind me a lot of when you were over
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: covering the Lions and the Packers over at lambeau Field.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: But you know what, that's an obvious choice.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a little interesting nugget out there locally,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic visits Michigan State at Spartan Stadium. This is
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Herman's second year, is what it is. And I'll
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: be very very very curious to see whether or not
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the Owls can go out there and improve on last
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: year's performance. I think they were like four and eight. Anyways,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Tom just trying to get his footing here after going
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: behind Willie Taggert.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: So a lot of interesting games over the weekend.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, of course I say Mark Miami and Florida
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is the lead one because now Mario Cristobal is in
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: year three. Is this the year that Mario Cristobal returns
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the Hurricanes to prominence because once upon, you know, they
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: don't sleep on the Canes. They've won five national championships
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: in their history, but haven't sniffed that territory.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: In a little while.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: But FAU and Michigan State should be interesting as well.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: So all right, so let's go to our parting shots. Okay,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: you'll lead off.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: All right, So you know Florida State travel to Ireland.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they got on the plane. They
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: didn't get on the plane. But give credit to Georgia Tech.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Last year. You know, Georgia Tech started to actually play
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: football again. They were in a bad tail spin for years.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: They got a new coach, they changed the whole system.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: They used to run a power football run option. That's
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: all they did. They changed their offense, new personnel, new
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: new recruits, and you know, playing more streamlined of what
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: we watched as college football. Now they travel to Ireland.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: They beat number ten Florida State, who may still be
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: wondering why they were in the playoffs last year but
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: this year. I don't think they're making it now after
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: that loss. But give credit to Georgia Tech and Florida State.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Back up your argument that you belonged because you know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: national televised game, first game of the year to a
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: team that nobody respects, you got to beat.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what I'm going to go next because
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of Joe coming up with this one last night on
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Inside the pigskin our, one of our analysts, coach John Bonamega,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: who was on our Inside the Pitch in every Week
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: coach all over the place.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: He was a head coach at Central.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Michigan, but he's coached everywhere else, really went ahead and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: had a rant for the ages because against Fauit. The
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: showtal is titled Graduating Versus Winning, and you can find
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that on the South Florida Tribune on YouTube channel. But
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you know what coach bonald said, He said a lot.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want to give it all away. He can
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: he's going to work on a short with it. But
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: he pretty much said to Florida State, you know what,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you played poorly in the bowl game, and then you
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity to make a statement and you didn't
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: do it. So he had no sympathy whatsoever for Florida State.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Know there is, but I don't want to give it
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: all away. But coach Bono has done a really good
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: job on inside the Pigskin as sas Melfar bow Crouch
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and Travis But coach Bono and the time that I've
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: had him, I've had him on for about a year now,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: has progressed nicely to a point where he's not afraid
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to open up. At the beginning, he had to be
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: careful because he certainly didn't want to put himself in
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: harms way of getting another coaching job. But the reality
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: is this, Okay, I'm going to piggyback off of Joe.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Florida State, you had an opportunity to make a statement,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: and the college football playoff is twelve Okay this year.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Last year, you weren't good enough to be in the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: top four. And yet when the Bull game came along,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the final score was sixty three to three. Pretty hard
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to convince. It pretty hard to get convince anybody that
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: you're national championship worthy.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, George, well, my final part shot is going to
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: be the Detroit Lions. So all along we were told
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: that Nate Sudfeld was going to be the backup to
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Jared Goff, and even a lot of people were not
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: comfortable with that here in Motown. And then of course
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: they got a good hard look at Hooker in the
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: last exhibition game that they played, and he did some
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: good things and a lot of things he still has
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: to work on. But in the meantime, they went and
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: picked up Jake From again, another veteran who doesn't seem
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: to be able to stick with any team for any
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: period of time. So I was just a bit surprised
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: that they ended up cutting Nate Sudfeld because he seemed
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: to be the odds on favorite, at least for the
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: number two quarterback. But now they're saying Hooker and From
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: is on the extra roster that they have for the players.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, everybody just has to cross
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: their fingers and hope if you're Alliance fan, you don't
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: want Jared Goff to go down because for a that's
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: so highly rated and one that is favored to by
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: many to be in the Super Bowl, They're sure taking
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a chance at quarterback. And I know Golf is demanded
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and got a great salary and a great increase in pay,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: which he deserved. They just better hope nothing happens for
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: a long period of time with Golf because of the
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: uncertainty behind him. And you know, again, it's just a
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: little gamble that you know, some people say maybe too
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: much of a gamble. The liars are digging as far
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: as the backup QB goes, but time will tell. It's
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: just interesting to look at how Sudshell tell out of
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: favor and incomes Hooker and from that's it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a parting shot in all my years
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in this business where we're talking about a second string quarterback,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: especially in the.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Piggings or Slim.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Really, because I had to watch voice issues, I can't
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: sit here and let you have it. But I'm going
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: to say this in a very very subtle way. Are
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you crazy?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Really? You bring it up Nate Sunfell in this show? Really?
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I would advise you to do? George
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: get Drew Stanton On as a guest and maybe he
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: can take the job. He's the last legitimate backup quarterback
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: that Detroit Lions had. Cru Stanton all right, I'm not
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: gonna come hard on you. It's a party shot, so
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I can't. But I'll tell you what I can turn
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: over to Candy. I'm like for hers, so.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I hate to be because you left me for last.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: But and I'm gonna say this, rest in peace. Cohen Craddock.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: And if you haven't heard of him, I understand. He
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: was thirteen years old. He died after receiving a head
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: injury after playing football this past weekend. He is the
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: third young kid that has died so far this year
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: already due to football practice, either in middle school or
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: in high school, so far before even Labor Day starts.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: There has got to be with all the technology we
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: have in this world. We have got and I love football,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but we've got to find more
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: technology that protects these young kids so they're not sustaining
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: head injuries like this at such a young age. I
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: get it, we love most of a lot of us
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: love the game of football, but there's got to be
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: something done for these young kids so that we can
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: protect them because to die after practice and he was
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: at practice, he had a collision, he got up from
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: the collision, he was walking off and he collapsed again.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: His family is donating his body to our body parts
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: so he can live on through other people. But somehow
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: we've got to come up with something better for these
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: young kids. And anybody that makes fun of or that
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: discredits anybody that's trying to protect themselves with these new caps,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: these guardian caps that they're going to have on to
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: help them protect themselves, kudos to them. But there's got
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: to be somebody out there that's got the technology or
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: that's smart enough to come up with something better to
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: help protect so these injuries and these type of injuries
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: stop happening.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Well said, I don't have anything that's going to top
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: that one. I'm not so great job, Candy, thank you
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: all right?
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what opportunity for everybody to let everybody
