• 1:24
  Speaker 5: a little crack of the bat, if you know what
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: I mean. So let's get to it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to start off unfortunately a somber note.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I don't like doing that, but it is what it is.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: San news in the sports world in Indianapolis, owner Jim
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Ersay died in the state at the age of sixty
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: five years old. Rest and teach, rest in peace. Mister
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Ersay is wolla by everyone. He actually won a Super Bowl,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the team's loan title, and Pateon Manning obviously enjoyed playing
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: for him, and he loved his players. I remember his
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: situation now. However, at Super Bowl thirty when I covered
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos went over Atlanta and John Elway when
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I asked him the question, how does it feel that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you orchestrated the trade out of Baltimore to land in Denver.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you one thing, John had the biggest
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: mile from here all the way to alast Gay. You
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: can't say that about Jim Mercay.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Jim Mersay was a guy who was a music lover,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: He was a philanthropist, He loved his players, and unfortunately,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I know over the years he's had substance abuse this years.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into that. But rest in peace,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: mister Ersay at the age of sixty five. Everything you've
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: done in the NFL is nothing but positive. And I'm
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: sure that your family, I know what shill be taking
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: over their ownership and that'll be the Bulls player will
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: do a great job preserving your legacy. Rest in peace,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Jim Mercy at the age of sixty five. But that said,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: let's go on to some of the other topics. They
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have a lot interesting ones. But started off and I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: am smoking, And I know why am I smoking tonight? No,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: don't worry. I don't have anything in my hand except
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the pen. But when the name show New York Knicks,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I got Carmelo Anthony watches Candemy's brand. You might think
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I have, but don't get the wrong idea of people. Okay,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. But Carmelo Anthony launches cannabis
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: brand and agency stayy seventy. Obviously, it had a successful
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: debut in Oregon. I had to bring it back to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: New York City, where he played seven years with the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: New York Next Now people in Detroit would prefer not
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to think of Carmel Anthony because the pisson passed on
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: him for Darkomelo Chicic. But Joe Domer does get another
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: job in Orleans get into that. But I don't think
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Carmelo is going to do into cannabis business.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Mister Epting, Well, this is the loaded question mine usually
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: are this is this is a very loaded question, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I want to say the percentage of players in the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: NBA that use cannabis, it's probably pushing at least seventy
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: to eighty percent. And being in New York where it
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: is legal, and the name that he has and the
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: cachet that he has, and everything that he has done
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: for the city of New York actually being I guess
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: he was planted there after living in West Baltimore and
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: moving to New York. I think he's actually from Queens
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: or maybe Brooklyn. I don't see why not this income
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: revenue stream that he's generating isn't going to be a success. Usually,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: when you have somebody like Carmelo Anthony who has done
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: so much in not just West Baltimore but in New
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: York as well. He's beloved by a lot of different people,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: and he got the stuf he got to start out
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: in Oregon, which of course is legal there too. I
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: don't see any reason why he wouldn't be a success
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: at this. He's been a success of everything else that
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: he's done in his life professionally, so I don't expect
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: anything different here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, the project is called stay Mey seventy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I just want to put it out there. Do. What
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: do you think, Taylor about Carmelo Anthony's latest business.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Is well, well, marijuana is harmed, is very harmful to
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: people's body, and I just don't I just don't see
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Carmelo Anthony growing that business anywhere. It's just it's just
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: not going to work.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So the brand that he said, the way it's spelled out, Scott,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: it looks like stay Mey seventy, but he wants it
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: pronounced as stay Mellow, which kind of makes sense. That's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: a good play on words. I mean, I'm honestly with
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Carmelo Anthony doing it stay Mellow Florida.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I want it now.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I honestly think it's gonna work, Tailor, because I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: it's the new norm that people are using as long
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: as it's legal where you are to help them. A
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: lot of people are using the marijuana for different health reasons,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and so I think I think as a player and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: former player, I think it's he'll do well with it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Hi JD.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Salute to j D Wytt.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: I get the legalty stuff.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you know it's okay, I still want it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Does we now get it? But you know what I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: will say about the product though, it will remind me
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers. At least it's one thing he can
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: do is relax because he makes everything, but he relaxed
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: for his services.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: But we'll do that alone.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'm feeling really good tonight there will
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I I have my great new crew on great stuff.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: All right, I can't got the last word. I stay
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in Maryland.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there have been other athletes I know that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: have gotten involved in it, but this is probably one
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of the biggest names that I've ever heard. Yeah, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: mean we have, as Taylor knows, it's legal in Michigan
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and just a few miles from my home, we have
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of cannabis operations along a street called
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: gross Spec Highway. And you know it's not for me
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: or my family, but it is for some. So all
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I can say is if if, if there is that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: possibility for him to grow and to become a businessman successful.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: A lot of athletes have gotten into other things and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and been successful in the business world. So I, for
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: one not the fan of it. But like I said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: if he's successful, all the more power to him.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Right now, I'm going to make some notes in with comments. Okay,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm just going to go over it, put it
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: out there, and we move here. The Detroit Tigers off
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a really roaring start. I know, I have two guys
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: who would love to talk about it not happening. Maybe
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we'll do let's talk about for eightful night. But the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: first time the two thousand and six the Tigers are
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the best record in Major League faithful for fifty games,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and when you take a look at the fact that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the last time that's happened was the first time. Obviously,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: when you look at their sixteen game sixteen series start,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they're twelve and four right now. As far as series
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of concerned, the last time that that ended up happening
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: was in nineteen eighty four when they were thirteen one
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and two. We all know what happened there. The Tigers
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: took two out of three from the Saint Louis cart
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: are back to back nights five to four as well
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: as five to one. Nolan Arroon, Nolan Arroon, I don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: take no, my friend. Tigers aren't good enough, but they
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: still teach at two out of three, and Bush stated,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: my goodness, you know what I think, Nolan Aeronauts needs
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: stay mellow, stay melow because you I'm going to the postseason.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Nobody's ever heard me talk this soff before, and don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: get used to it. So you think about that best
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: record in MLB fifty fifty. My goodness, we're doing good.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: On words, we go to stay more mel NFL hijacks
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Christmas from NBA. What do you think of that one,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: mister Willie, What do.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: You mean by hijacked? There's different There's various definitions of
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: the word hi jacked. Lebron James said it last year.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: You know, I love the NFL, but Christmas Day belongs
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: to the NBA. If anybody is going up head to
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: head against the NFL, the NFL is going to win.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: It does not matter what person. I'm sorry, what team
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: or teams because they play like seven games in the
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: like a crazy back to back to back to back
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: to back to back, like double hitter type thing. But
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the NFL is king in the United States and it's
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: going to remain that way because for the NBA people,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: most people that are that are casual, not quite hardcore fans,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: but like in between, they may not start paying attention
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: into the VA until Christmas. Some of us don't really
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: start paying attention until January. So yeah, it is going
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: to be a hostile takeover because it's the NFL.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Right, that's definitely. What have you ever seen any games
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: on Christmas? I've seen them for both leagues, just for
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the NBA, and I've seen them for the NFL. Pretty
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: good to be able to go on Christmas Day, You're
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: always on national TV no matter what. But no, nobody
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: competes with the NFL expects to win, No way le's trying.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: NFL will take that day over NBA. Old it for
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a while, no more, Taylor.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: I would I wouldn't mind watching both the NFL and
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: NBA on the same day on Christmas because holidays, the
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: holidays and sports all together should be fun, right, not
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: to mention the NHL, of course, So yeah, add that
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: and and I'm mind watching a couple of hockey games
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: along with football and basketball. You just flip through the
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: channels and stuff just to gig your big sports digest.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Of course, just like me, I'm a sports freak, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: this is this is this is something a really good
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: sports fan that has a passion needs. If you know
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Joshua Door saying cannabis, he should be canceled.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, you know it always comes back to the cannabis.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't it, Joshua Door? Okay, beautiful thing, I joined
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the chat room. Beautiful, Stay mellow, stay mellow. Yes, Willy knows,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have one with that all night. Stay meltw Knity.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You don't have to stay mellow. You can say something cannabis.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: We know is boys? What candy?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Which is more popular the NFL of the NBA. As
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four, the NFL has over four hundred
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: and ten million fans worldwide, while the NBA has around
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: two point four billion global fans. But when we're talking
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: about viewership, NFL hands down takes the case. If you're
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: talking about and I know we're not talking about the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, but in the US, the NFL Super Bowl
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: attracts over one hundred million viewers, while the NBA Final
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: averages around twelve to twenty million viewers. So NFL taking
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: over Christmas doesn't surprise me. The NFL is trying to
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: make money wherever they can, as much as they can.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It's a business.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: NBA is a business too, but the NFL is more
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: popular in the US for sure.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, and well, yes, I would be more unhappy for
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you with Trish Gosh's comments by all mean go ahead
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and then will turn over to George.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Well, no, no, I want I want to allow for
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Candy's question or her.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I'm good addressed, she says, she's good. No, I'll want
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you to address. Go ahead.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, so can you put it up on the screen.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: His first comment, that one, and then the next one.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I've put them all three up that way.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Joshua Philsey is getting clarification on all his points.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, this is the one that really kind of rubs
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: me the wrong way, and I'll tell you why. Okay,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Marijuana is not a physically addictive drug. You may have
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: a mental addiction towards it, which in these days could
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: be just important, if not more important. However, it is
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: you don't have any physical withdrawals like you do with
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: heroin or crack or cocaine or crystal meth. And I'm
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: not saying this from any experience other than from a
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: cannabis standpoint. So when when when he says it starts
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: with cannabis, the next thing you know, you're doing hooker
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: or you're doing heroin hookers. You have to realize, mister Joshua,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: and with all due respect, that people people have addictive
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: personalities and that is the driving force behind whether or
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: not a person becomes addicted to whatever substance that is
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: out there. I think it's I think it's unfair to
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: say that he should be that carmelo should be canceled,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: because if the government has found a way to regulate
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: it enough to make it legal in some states, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: we know it's up to the states, right, it's nobody
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: should I don't think it's anybody's place to say what
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: anybody else should or should be doing, should shouldn't be doing,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: simply because it is. It is almost impossible to say
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: what you won't do until you have to make the
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: choice on whether you're gonna do it or not. That's
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: all I had to say. Well, there's a lot more.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I could do a whole show on it, but oh
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: we could.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch base on it because I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: thought it was an intriguing topic. And I have to
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: tell you I view Mellow as a very shrewd business person,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and obviously you know he's headed in the hope already.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And he'll also be a NBC also as a commentator.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So I realized, if you take the strong stuff, that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: will have an effect. I'm going to preface it on
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: both sides, positive and the negative side, but it will
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have an effect no matter how you go ahead and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: in take it one way or the other. And I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: want to keep those comments along those lines. If everybody
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: completely understand Gosha, I do truly appreciate your comments on
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the matter. Some of the topics we bring on here
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: are necessary because they obviously are trending enough to so
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: he's going to get right and high right now. Okay,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: go ahead, it can't hurt you. I mean, I've known
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you long enough. Go ahead. I mean, if you want
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to come on here and do it, I don't want
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to do that. I don't know if they have sec
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: doing this stuff, but whatever, whatever, Okay, this is all right, George,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to what we were talking about was Christmas, and.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You mean, yeah, the NFL Grinch. They're like Grinch, the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: grinch who stole Christmas. Well, the NBA used to own it,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: but obviously the NFL now has got itself involved in it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you my own personal feelings, okay, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you can take them orried not. This is just another
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: encroachment on the family and the family holiday. And I'm sorry.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I do not put that television on on Christmas. Neither
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: would my sisters and wife and brothers and children want
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: me to sit in front of a TV. So I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: not in favor of it. I knew the Lions were
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: going to be in one of them, thank god they're
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: not the home team. But I'm not in favor of it.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: We got five NBA games, three NFL games. Geez. We
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: used to have the Aloha Bowl. We had the Blue
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Gray Game. You remember that years ago. There was one
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: college football game and one bowl game. But anyways, I'm
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: not a favor of it. And yes, I do agree
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: with the sentiments. Of course, the NFL will stop over
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: them in the ratings. That's not the point. The point
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: is they continue to infringe on America's holidays, and I'm
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: not for that at all.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: And it's not just America's holidays, mister Iicorn, it's you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Christmas isn't just celebrated here. You know, it's celebrated around
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: the world as well in other places. But they don't
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: have to deal with the advent of the NFL and
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: the NBA shown all over the televisions and we're in
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: those countries. So it's a double edged sword, man, it
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: really is.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I agree?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Well, transition from the NDAH to the w NBA. The
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: most black w NBA game ever was the Indiana Fever
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: versus the Chicago's guy Caitlin Conk versus Angel rees a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: two point seven million views. Wow, if that isn't Larry
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Bird Magic Johnson, tell me what it is, Willie, because
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that is pretty good. The ladies game is really, really,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: really gone well. And I'm telling you, Willie, if you
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: haven't done it, yes, he's sure you should cover it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And c WA Women's Final four, it is unbelievable. I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: appreciate the WNBA game so much more now having gone
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to that final four and seeing Geno Orion. Know what
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the thing was. But let's keep it on point here.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the WNBA. I'm matching those numbers.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I think it's fantastic. I think it's tremendous. I think
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: it's awesome. However, I think I think the w NBA
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: as well as the NBA, maybe missing out on something
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: because when Magic and Bird came into the league at
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the same time, just like Angel and Caitlyn came in
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: at the same time, and in college, Magic beat Bird
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: well in college. In college for Angel and for Caitlin,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: you know, they beat each other twice or they one
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: of them beat one of them the other once, and
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: then you get drafted in the same draft and then
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: now you're on opposite sides of the I guess of
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: the opposite sides of the conference or what have you.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I think the NBA should get involved in this. The
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: w NBA should welcome their feedback, and they need to
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: market this thing like Magic and Bird. If they did
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: that without breaking any like morality issues between the two combatants,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: they can they can. I think they're missing it on that,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and hopefully for them, they'll get it done. And I
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: know Caitlyn and and and Angel may not care for
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: each other personally. But that's the same way that Magic
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and Bird started out. They weren't friends and now they're
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: the greatest of friends.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Tell you what, I'll make myke tim a short and
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: sleep because I had to stay mellow. I know Willie
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: loves in a live feet off this stuff, right, negative
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: recurrence name then will I'm done, but I'm not. But
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Taylor's not.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Any Well, I'm gonna have to agree with Willie apting.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: You got to know your enemy as well, but first
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: before you've become friends. And it's it's I believe it's
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: part of how the sports world works, with opposing and
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: uh uh teammate players and other stuff like that. H
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: it's the way. It's a way of socialism, part of life. Right, Yeah,
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: that's it, okay, Candy.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Sports and viewership explode when you're talking about to opposing people,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: whether they're conflicting with each other where they're not. For
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: some reason, media and fans love when they're when they're fighting,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: where they're bickering, where they're not getting along. Let's face
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: it that there was stories out there that when Juan
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Soto played against the Yankees that him and Judge weren't
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: talking to each other and that became more and they blew,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: they blow some of these things up, which but that
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: causes more viewership. It causes people to read. The controversy
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: causes people to their attention. It catches their attention, and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that's what sparks viewership. Sparks this. So as Caitlin has said,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: like the follow that she did, wasn't it you know
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: it was? It was a basketball move. But who who's
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Who's bringing it up to attention? Now? Angel Reese's mom
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: is getting involved in and so the media is helped
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: feeding this and bringing these viewerships in because everybody likes
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: this little controversy and the little jabs here and there.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Is it good?
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Is it good for for women's sport that we have
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: two good basketball players that are on opposite teams that
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: everybody likes to talk about them sparking against each other.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Of course, if it's going to bring viewership, great, because
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: it's it's about time that viewership goes up for women's sports.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I knew Katie was going to put an Aaron Judge
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: reference in there with Lonsoco. You know what, well, you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: have a good one coming up with Pagebackers. Is gonna
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: take her a little while to get going. I'll tell
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you the NBA w n B A is definitely gonna
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: have to market stars if they do exactly what you're
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: telling it to do, Age and the rest of those
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: young ladies will be part of what they're looking to.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Georgia as the final word under something and we go
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: on a station break.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, you know, congratulations of the WNBA.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Two point seven million viewers is nothing to sneeze at.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Most watched since the WNBA All Star Game, which was
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: twenty five years ago, and I think this game peaked
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: at like three point one million viewers. So yeah, the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: audience is there and the audience can only go up.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: But I am not in favor of if it's if
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it's if it's hateful or racist comments or anything like
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: that between Caitlin Clark and Angel Rayes. Obviously, that's stuff
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: that we we as professional in the journalism area, should
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: stay away from. Now they're going to do an investigation, Okay,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: So I'm not saying you can't report it as a
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: news story, but I don't want that to be and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the media blowing this into a white versus black or
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: whatever twist they want to put on it. Let's enjoy,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Let's enjoy the quality play, the exceptional talent Caitlin and
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Angel brought to that game. And I know it was
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: a lopsided score, but I for one, I'm going to
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: look forward to seeing more games. And I think you
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: can only grow from here. You guys are right, they
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: should do more, be more proactive to sell this game
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: or expand this game of the women's WNBA. I think
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: it's great. It's a great product.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: The lot to station breat candy.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: You were listening to.

  Speaker 1: slash actually giving me pointers on all kinds of stuff.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: My goals will make sure a bit more expanded. Will
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: when I write number two later on the share write
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: my second update. Anyways, the first next book I'm playing
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: writers a book overseas. I'll the vote that more a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: later date. That set we're gonna go ahead and talk
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: about big money, but this time we're talking about it
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: in a different way, and that being this Sunday Night Baseball.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Two point five million views was watched Sunday Night Baseball,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the largest game since twenty eighteen, and you have the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Yankees against the Mets. Now get this, I love this
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: information because now I have a chance to be sarcastic
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and no, I'm not going to stay mellow. I'm going
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: back to loud, and I mean loud as loud loud,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm crawling of course. Now the other one out
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: there smoking it but still being dwindling may get this,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and we talked about this on Baseball before, but a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: fact MLB and ESPN has mutually agreed to end the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: relationship after this season. MLB is displeased with the minimal
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: coverage and all platform outside of live game is and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Rob Manfred cites the fact that dwind land subscribers. Me personally,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I think baseball is going back on NBC. I don't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: know why. I have a gut feeling we're gonna see
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: NBC involved don't know where, but Willie, I guess the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: biggest question I'm gonna ask you, And obviously and Taylor,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: George and I talked about on Baseball. So I'm gonna
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: give you the floor and I'll let them see if
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: they want to update their thoughts. And Kenny was under
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: were her talks about the fact that MLB is cutting
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: tied with ESPN.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Well, ESPN is the alleged worldwide leader, but their coverage
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: of baseball, in my opinion, has diminished over the years,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: and I don't know if it's because of some of
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: the games they feature with not so good teams. And
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: then of course I don't know who's exactly responsible for
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: the Major League Baseball package on direct TV or whatever.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know who's responsible for those things where people
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: can actually go and watch their individual teams on those
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: type of platforms. I actually have to be one of them.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: I have a firestick and I'm able to watch the
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: A's every time they play. So there may be there
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: may be fans of teams out there that don't get
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: to see their team on ESPN nearly as much as
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: they would like to see it. So now, and I'm
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: thinking the MLB maybe over all of that to include
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: the MLB Network. And if that's the case, guess what
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: I get it, because why keep feeding gas to a
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: vehicle that is starting to sputter, you know what I mean?
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: So when you when you put it in those terms,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, we can shift our dollars to our
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: own in our own house. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: gonna upgrade our own house and really be able to
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: start marketing these things or these individual games to teams
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: or to fans of teams, like even the Seattle Mariners.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: We know they're in first place, they're playing very good
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: baseball they have all season long, But how many times
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: do you really expect to see them on ESPN?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: True? Very true? So are you? I guess my question?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Follow up question you Williams. Are you glad that MLB
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: is cunning ties with ESPN? Do you like the move?
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if I like it or
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: dislike it, but from a business standpoint, I totally one
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: hundred percent get it?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Good enough? Okay, Taylor, you commented on it before, but
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you have anything that's changed from the last time we
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: spoke about it. We're refreshing your memory. MLB is getting
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: rid of ESPN. Of course, keep in mind ESPN's and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: a d NHL, and they do a lot with the NBA.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: All I can say is I do miss Chris Berman,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: John Miller, and of course fill Morgan. You can do
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: nothing about it pass unfortunately, but that's some great Sunday
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: night cruise. But are you do you have any refreshing
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the topic.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: So, ESPN a few years ago was losing viewership, especially
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: on Sports Center and other talk shows like first Take
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: around the Horn part in the interruption and now they're
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: losing viewership on Sunday Night but baseball And now I
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: hear NBC is trying to pick pick that up. I don't.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: I don't mind NBC or any other network picking up
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: on it. I think Sunday Night, Sunday Night Baseball concept
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: dessert does deserve, uh business wise, a new like a
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: fresher environment on a on a new on a different network.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: And I just.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: And MLB has been on a BC before, like like
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: in the nineties, from eighties to nineties. Just it just hasn't.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: But that's the last I saw MLB on NBC back
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: in the nineties. That was like three decades ago. That
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: was a long time ago in my lifetime when I
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: was a kid. That's amazing. That was amazing. I don't
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: even saw the ninety six All Star Game on NBC
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: in Baltimore. It's crazy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of us are old. Note for remembering
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: when Kurkgaudi and Vin Scully, Gariziola.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Ab Costas don't forget and.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Momb Costas only for that great mind scle like I've
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: trained you that. Yeah, go ahead, Candy.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: One of ESPN's problems or difficulties has been that they
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: paid some of their high talent a lot of money,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: which meant that they couldn't afford some of the other talent. Now,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: when we look at some of the sports, there have
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: been some rates that have called games for years and
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: years and icons that have called games. Who calls Sunday
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: night games for MLB on ESPN right now?
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Cal Ravage?
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Carl Ravage, and he's he's pretty good.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Though, who else anybody? I mean, can you name all
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: of Like if I ask you who does MU, you're
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: gonna know all of And sometimes that's who draws people
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: in too.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Is maybe you, like.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I would say, and this might differ from all of
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: you guys, I don't know, but personally, I grew up
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: listening to Bob Bukerk call Milwaukee Brewer games, and I
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: obviously he's not around anymore, but there were there have
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: been a long time where we'd even turn the volume
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: down on the TV and listen to him on the radio.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: So my question is, is there are a lot of people
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: that like that and then therefore don't like the now
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: national broadcast on ESPN, And maybe because it's not they're
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: not as well known broadcasters on the ESPN that people
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: aren't tuning in, or is it also on Sunday Night,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: that there's other things, it's a family night, and if
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: they're not drawn in by the viewership, because I would say,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: there are so many baseball games a year, whereas there's
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: some when like when you're talking about like the NFL
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: season and they play on Sunday, you're gonna watch it,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: whereas maybe in the summer, Oh, you know what, I
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: can do this with my family because there's one hundred
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: and sixty two games, I can miss this Sunday night game.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: So that could be another reason why ESPN isn't the viewership.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Isn't there Wow ahead finish. I'm just saying, yes that
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: were they smart to put the Yankees and Mets on
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: this Sunday that Sunday Night the Subway series? Of course,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: of course those are two draws. But if you're gonna
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: put on, if you're gonna put on a team like
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Seattle and the Marlins, who's watching that.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Candy? The only thing I'll say about is they used
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: to have baseball Tonight on go lead in, the lead
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: in anymore, they just don't have it they're not putting
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: forth the effort to preview the games like they used
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to get it. George, and I can relate to Ernie
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: her well if we really all know that as well
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: all the people that would replace National. I get everything
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: you're coming from. But es Began is taking shortcuts a lot.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Put the game up and that's it. That's all they
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: want to do. Georgia as the last word. But let's
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: go to the chat room real quick.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Ratt.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Ralph Williams is coming in a little bit, so I'll
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: let candy and rapid fire but his comments up and
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: then we can go from there. Okay, so he just
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: joined in the show. MLB has its own network and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: on Fox. Okay. I listen to local broadcasters as well.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Join the club, and of course the first one. A
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: lot of players are getting into cannabis player places former Steeler.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: The cast just open one. Yeah, I mean obviously it's
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: a is this after Thanks for joining us, Ralph? All right,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: George has the final word. Have a lot of other
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: good stuff to get to. I wanted to make sure
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: that since it went from one extreme numbers to the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: other from the w NBA, it wasn't a baseball I
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: really should. I think the whole big thing is I'm
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: just glad that MLB is getting rid of ESPN. I
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: really am. I think it's about time. If you're not
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: getting them their best effort, go somewhere else. That's all
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: they pretty much to say, George, you can finish the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: topic other things to get that. Well.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is something that's been progressing or
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: you know, going on for years now, the lack of
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: creativity by ESPN slash ABC and covering MLB.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: There was a time way back in the day when
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: ABC and NBC split the coverage are rotated, like every
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: other year, one would get the World Series one, We'll
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: get the All Star Game. Well that that came to
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: an end. I think that there's just so many different
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: things up there, streaming services and watching movies and like
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: you said, Candy, a lot of family things or people
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: going out on Sunday night. And plus they're never gonna
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: draw the ratings on Saturdays and Sundays except for the
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: World Series on Sunday night. But I'm just saying, when
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: the NFL starts, like you mentioned, Sunday night football, well
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: then that's another disadvantage. And and I don't think ABC
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: wanted to deal with that, They didn't want to challenge
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the NFL on Sunday night. They they and in fact
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: they got the Monday night package. But all this to say, yes,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: I agree, I think it's time. I think it's It's
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be interesting to see if they're going to add
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: NBC to it, or possibly even CBS. I don't know,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: but they have a good relationship with Fox right now.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: They're probably gonna continue that. But for all of the
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: reasons you guys stated, you know, there's so much more
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: alternative things out there. If I got a local team,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna follow a local team, not gonna worry about
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: watching a national game. Proliferation. There was a proliferation of
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: all these games on on baseball and.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: The Okay, we're gonna go back to basketball. And for Georgia,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it's just like old times, right New York. Next, Indiana
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Pacers Indianapolis five hundred week, My goodness, we had a
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: lot of good times. We ended up seeing the game
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: market where arena right, I mean, once upon a time
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: it was torn down. Never been to the good place.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: But you ever heard of Reggie Miller, Spike Lee. It's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: so live. Nothing has happened to them yet, don't. Hopefully
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: he doesn't. But we can relate to that, right, George.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: We had a good time watching the Pacers and the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and the next yes, the time of the year they
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: were here at Indianapolis, your Memorial Day weekend, and the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Pacers are paysing. Once upon a time they used to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: have a team called the Indianapolis Racers. Bro you hockey
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: team out there. Of course, the only hockey person on
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the planet is out there smoking cannabis. Now it doesn't matter.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Probably don't know about the Indianapolis Racers. But once upon
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a time when Gretzky did play that a little fun.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: But the reality of the situation is, here's what we
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: have going. Indiana is looking for first title and won
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: championships in the W and the ABA and the Familiarity
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Faith by the name of Rick Carlisle is with Indiana
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: won the title in Dallas, Oklahoma City is seeking their
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: first title since moving to Oklahoma City. Once upon a time,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you ever heard of the Seattle Supers on it, Oh
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: my goodness, they were good. Yeah, Minnesota's looking for the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: first ever title, you know as the Wolves. Once upon
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: a time they were the Minneapolis Lakers. We know how
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: that worked out. When in Minneapolis, former Minneapolis Lakers got
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: beaten up by the Wolves. Okay, the Wolves ate up
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. I don't know how you eat up a
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Laker because it's water. I no wonder how the name
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: actually made it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: They drunk them down exactly.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got good. Remember those old big goals And
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: that was the different level there. And of course in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: New York next eve A one one since nineteen seventy three,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: much of the dis may of Stephen A. Smith, who
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: probably is the only guy on the planet who takes
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: care of his area. He doesn't have gray hair, despite
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: all the miseries that he's had. But there's beloved Dallas
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Cowboys not okay, and a little loan of the fact
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: that his Nicks. He's a fair weather fan. But I
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: did meet him actually over at the Super Bowl, take
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: a picture, learned a lot of room trying to be
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit nicer than him.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Not much.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Can't role model. Everybody loved this. This is something you
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: role model. Either you have it or you don't, or
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you have to know when to use it. But I
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: guess the question now that a ramble to all that
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: stuff George, you don't have to reminisce back there. The
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: only thing we have to reminisce is the fact that
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Jim Nighbers saying the greatest back home in India. Lawrence
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Sanderson was very nice over at the parade, and we
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: got to see some basketball on motorsports. We did we
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: did so and with all that, and I said all that,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: who's going to break the longest rout? Who's taking that
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: long motor? About to get to who's gonna break the drum? Really?
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: Theirs?
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Really? That's it me. You got to Willy, who's gonna
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: break the drum?
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Out of least four teams? Right right? That was a
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: rhetorical It was a rhetorical question, a little bit of yeah,
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: don't don't get me started on that. Oh my gosh.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Now the one that we could get it started is
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: not You're probably gonna listen and listen later anyway. But
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: he's taking care of the others.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: I like stuff, I like. I like okay ce. And
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: the reason why I say okay, see is because any
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: team that can defend the way that they defend, I'm
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: gonna always push my pile of money towards that team.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: If I was a betting man. And not only do
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: they are they superior defensively, they're awfully deep. Uh, they're
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: very athletic. They've got a lot of bigs, a lot
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: of length, and Shae gilgis Alexander is the presumptive MVP.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: That dude has ice water running in his veins. So
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: I say, okay, c out of the West and for
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: the East. I mean, I'm rolling with New York because
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: I kind of want to see them win at all.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: I really do. But I don't know if they're gonna
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: have enough to necessarily get by Indiana first or Indianapolis.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: I like to call the states that have teams to
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: bother city that they play in the Indianapolis Pacers. I
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: just think that that New York they have a little
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: bit of a matchup advantage in my pinion, over over
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: in Indiana or Indianapolis. So I'm gonna say, you're gonna
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: see the Knicks in the finals for the first time
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: since what nineteen ninety nine, And you're gonna see the
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Thunder in the finals for the first time since two
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: thousand and what eleven twelve No. Eleven when Okase had
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: Russell KD and James Harden and none of those guys
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: are still there. And none of them oh well, James
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: and Russell hadn't won a title yet, and KD won
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: one because he defaulted to the team that he couldn't beat.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: If he can't beat him, join him. That's what he did.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: It's true, so true. Oh I know, is I remember
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy nine Seattle SuperSonics and when they ended
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: up losing in seventy eighty seventy nine and Lenny Wilkins
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: as your coach and then Dick Mount on the other side.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Those are some great series.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Back in the day.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Amazing these people in the audience remember for those are
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: some great series. All right, Taylor, we may be over
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: your head on part of this part of it that
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: we're not over here. Who's going to break the drought?
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: That's all you need to know.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: Well, first off, before I answered that question, SG eight
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: did win the NBA NBA MVP, So yeah, I would,
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: I would say so. So that being said, right now,
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: the nixt League eighty five, eighty three, eighty seven, eighty three,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: one seven third quarter that's on TNT and True TV Plus.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: But man, that's a close one. It's gonna be it's
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: gonna come down to a game seven, but I'm gonna
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna pick the Knicks and seven. And then for
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder and the Timberwolves. I
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: think I just think SGA and the Thunder are way
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: too much Thunder and four.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: All right, George, Well, yeah, first of all, I think
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: it's a great, great refreshing change of pace, Okay, for
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: for fans and for media like to see these teams
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: in there. Okay, So no LA and no Chicago, no,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you know, and on not. But the fact of the
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: matter is is that you take a look at the Knicks,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: and I tell you what, I didn't realize that it
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: was that battle record. Okay, two championships, six losses. Okay,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: So you're right, Scott, you mentioned nineteen seventy three, the
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: last time the Knicks won. Seventy three. You're kidding me,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, do the math. It's forever forever for
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: a major city, a major team like the Knicks. Now,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: they did get there in ninety four, and in ninety nine.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Of course we know they lost, so they've got a
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: lousy joint two fifty percentage in the NBA finals. All
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: just to say they got a big opponent. Man, this
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Indiana team is hungry too. It's gonna be a war.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a war. I'm gonna go with Nixon
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: seven on that one, and I gotta go with my
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: man Willie. I cannot go against Okac. I mean, they
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: are playing some great basketball. I'm gonna go with them
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: winning their series, and it's gonna be a fun run
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: in these conference finals.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Good Candy, okay see, I think is gonna come out
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: of the West. M As for the other side of things,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: the Pacers took down my Milwaukee Bucks, and they did it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I watched a lot of those games. I
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: watched a lot of the Nick Pistons games. They both
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: play very scrappy ball. They both you know, it's not
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: like they're winning flashy. They're hustling all the time there.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a close series, Like
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: you guys have all said that it's gonna go down
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: to seven. But I'm going to go against all of you, gentlemen.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: And one thing that most of you don't know, and
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: Scott keeps reminding me of this, I was technically born
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: in Indiana. How can I go against my Indianapolis.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it came out of your mouth and not mine.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, technically born an into that idea, and I love
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: it only.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: For a year and a half, so I don't really
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: relate to it. But yes, I was born.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: The birth certificates is Indiana, not West Not like we
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: can get out of that. George and I know where
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: we were born. I don't even know Herman keep her
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: hospitals still around where he used to pick mine.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Off and Holy in Detroit for me, holy Cross they're gone.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Line was hurt. Well, I was born in Sinai Hospital there.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing Alzheimer's has an effect that where
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I was born Where I'm going to end up later on,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Well that's actually Milwaukee. And Katie's waiting for a long
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: time down the road to the mostata information that mister
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Owl doesn't take my Heimer's and send me quiet. But
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: that's besides the point.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: I'm not going down that quick.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: So all right, so here, I'll give it to you
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: this way. I love Rick Carlo Heart is rooting for
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: or the Indiana Pacers. But let me ask you guys
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: a question. Okay, I think the Knicks are there when
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the O. J. Simpson. Thing got going too, right, Wasn't
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: that the old truck? Was that the old U the
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: white Bronco, White Bronco.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you talk about cannabis at that time for Menabi.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about. All I'm having
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: a good time today and I like the odds of
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: backerger that Willie. I'm for an entire show, which makes
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: it even better, which I love this guy. That's why
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: we got to do more stuff together, Willie. But I'm
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: gonna pull for Indiana. I have a heliy to get
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: it whitewashed by Oklahoma City. There are the Oklahoma City SuperSonics.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna call Oklahoma City Superstar. Gotta have it. Sattleson,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: never watch the team in the first place, thinks they're
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: gonna get one of it. That's that. That's my piece
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: of relaxed mellow moments.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, you got it. During Game five, most NBC affiliates
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: split the coverage of the game between the NFL Hall
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: of Famer O. J. Simpson Slow Speed Freeway Chase and
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: the UH and the Elijah Land versus Ewing nineteen ninety
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: four NBA Finals. Very good, very good. You guys, remember
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: that that was Yeah, that was something that happened.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: On I can't forget O. J. Simpson. Nobody ever forgets them.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: But I will say one thing about O. J. Simpson.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Many years ago, before all this other business came down,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: he was one of my first major interviews over at
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: the Orange Ball when Howard Cosel turned me down with
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: a jerk. I never The only thing I didn't tell
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Howard was why don't you change a two pay at
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: turn into?
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Yah?
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: My god? And I never was smart enough to do that.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Oh but I never did that. But OJ Simpson was
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: nice and he gave me some time, and you did
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: a pretty good job. I never knew about the.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: Other business took care of later. I wouldn't care.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: But that's one of my prouder moments as a young
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: he it is, Ohjay, it was okay, rest of DAC
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: even though we know that you did it and he
• 49:50

  Speaker 1: Oh cool, it'd stop, all right, but now you get
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: the witness.
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's different.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Scooter was there's a time when I was actually a
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: scooter when I was playing hockey way back in the day,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't relaxed and well, I was really on fire,
• 50:26

  Speaker 1: four oh two terabytes a second using standard fiber opticon.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Do I know in any of those words mean? Nope,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: but I know it's fast, just like Indian Fl's five hundred.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Will I agree? I don't know what any of that
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: stuff means, but it sounds fast, and I honestly I
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: need to get my hands on it because of all
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: of the things that we have going on here. So
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: thank you to our friends in Japan for creating that.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: Now let's see how much they're gonna be able to
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: sell it to the highest dinner.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I mentioned it. I'm not going behind you because you
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: hit a other bulls eye that will relaxed today. I
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: thought that, Tyler, what do you think is that fast
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: or slow?
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: One word? Interesting?
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Good enough? Okay, all right, Candy.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: That's fast.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad this topic is short because then we have
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: my town, which is are some topic that candy when
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I had created on Fire Up the Country Club.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: All right, George, Uh, I'm gonna say it's lightning fast, Okay,
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: Japanese people are doing those favor You need to get
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: it over here that way.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: All you people that are for it's any of the
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: things that they have a piano in the background, don't
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: have internet problems. And yes, I can't wait to see
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: the time comes that I corn go ahead and get
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: that Apple phone so we know it'll be fast and
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: furious and they'll technical problems. Noll, relax, my town.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: Tokyo drift.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: I agree, I need my own router. I need my
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: own router that way.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: And the Japanese thought of something to make and you know, well,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's your first rodeo, which is my town thing.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Kenny came up with it on the country Club Fire Up,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: and I think it's pretty good over on sports Trap
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and the other stuff from but I love all right,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: so you know what, Well, what's going on in your town?
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: Well, the Rangers were on a bit of a winning streak.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: They finally pulled themselves above five hundred. The Dallas Stars
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: are in the Western Conference finals for I think the
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: second straight year, the Arlington Renegades of the u f
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: L are still doing Arlington Renegade things. And on a
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: on a more terrible note, the Dallas Cowboys, of course,
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: traded for George Pickens. I don't think it's gonna help
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: much because George Pickens is a diva. If you can't
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: play and be under control under Mike Tomlin, that who
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: tried to feature you in their offense, and now you're
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: coming to the Cowboys with a team coached by Brian
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: Schottenheimer who has never had any experience. I don't think
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: as a coordinator, let alone the head coach who wants
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: to be a sixty to forty run team. And you
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: get this guy and you got Ceedee Lamb on the
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: other side. Oh, I can't wait for the implosion here
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: in Dallas Fort Worth.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I can't either know that he brought it up. Taylor.
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: Well, the Tigers keep taking two out of three front
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: from the Blue Jays and the Cardinals two out of three,
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: two series in a row. After sweeping the Boston Red Sox,
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: they just keep on winning three and seventeen. While on
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: my on my off season edition of As the Wing
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: Wheel Turns the Red Wings, the man they're just trying
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: to find their metal toughness right now, while Dylan, they're captain,
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: Dylan Larkin winds about, you know, the team not gaining
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: any momentum during the trade deadline, while Tom McClellan criticizes
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: his own team yet again rightfully so, about lacking toughness
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: and Steve Eiserman. Yeah, of course he didn't do too
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: much of the trade deadline. But that's no reason for
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: Dylan Larkin to whind about it. You've got to play
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: effing hockey, like Tom McClellan said. The Pistons turn around season.
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: Of course, they just they finally want a playoff game. Yes,
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: I get it, but they need to stop turning the
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: ball over. And then the Lions, of course got their guys.
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: Tyler Williams. They yes, they waited until the sixth round,
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: had an edgebrusher like I'm at has and I but
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: he's really he's actually better than what most Alliance fans
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: may think.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Candy, you began to segment. You know, it works. What's
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: going on in your town.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: Right now? In my town back in Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Admirals,
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: which are the National Predators affiliate, are in the playoffs.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: They are playing tonight. It is Game three. The series
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: is tied one to one, but the Admirals are down
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: to nothing going into the third. The Brewers took two
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: out of three from the Oreos. They lost today in
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: eleven innings. Down here in Florida, the Panthers are in
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: the NHL playoffs and they took the first game last
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: night from the Hurricanes. I believe it was five to
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: two was the final score. That's kind of what happening.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, we were at the Marlins game, two of
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: the Marlins games this past Sunday, and I do have
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: to say I said this on The Girls Show last night.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: I continue, it continues to surprise me that I go
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: to Marlins games and I see things I've never seen before.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: So I saw my first note here with the Marlins,
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: and now I saw my first immaculate inning. We're nine pitches,
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: nine strikes, And that was Sunday at the Marlins game.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: Cal Quanto. Yeah, I was on the watching that I'm
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: going to get to talk about one because I'm really
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: looking forward as the segment. You know what I like
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: about the segment. I'm gonna talk about something that nobody
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: will ever get around to talking because we have a
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: lot of good media distribution partner really do cover Uadership Florida,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: your South Florida, or Atlantic Miami Hurricanes, just to name
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: a few, let alone a lot of major sports win
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: now covers many other anymore. As I pick and choose
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: what I want to do as time goes on, a
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: lot of that based on access to by the way.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: But the one thing I'm going to go into Gainesville
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: with this one, Well, I'll talking about baseball, but you
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: get this. I have a good program up in Gainesville,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Mike Soula, and they win national championships in Florida. They
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: produce an awful lot of players. I tag Willie out
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of these things as well, and he's kind
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: enough to retweet these things. And one of the things
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: that I'm gonna actually put into the story out there
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: is a guy by the name of Liam Peterson who
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: struck out thirteen and Ranger's record at the time to
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: seven and two and a six four win over the
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Arkansas Razorbacks. So get this, thirteen strikeouts in college. I
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: don't care if you're swinging a wooden bat. I don't
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: even care if you're going out there and swinging a
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: torpedo bat. And by the way, just an FYI, the
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves ended up getting some torpedo bats. They figured
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: they'd do well with the Yankees. I don't know how
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: that's working out, but the Atlanta Braids are part of
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: the torpedo bat family. We'll see how it works. I
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: don't even know, but I got it. I'm using that.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: I've got a torpedo bat and alumina bat wood bat.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Go man.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: That was a month ago, so what better late than never?
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: So what did you know you did? Because yeah, of course,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: of course you're on baseball you better know that stuff.
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course we talked about it. I've read about it,
• 59:20
  Speaker 5: notifications on my phone. There's nothing illegal about it.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: No, not only illegal, but it so I don't care
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: if you're wearing a torpo you're using a torpedo at.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't like the Atlanta braser doing thirteen strikeouts.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: And doesn't matter what piece of hardware you're using. It
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty good. So the bottom line is is Liam
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Peterson great. Stop looking forward to me and reading more
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: of the releases coming out of the University of Florida
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: the Gators ahead.
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: Can I be back to my town. I want to
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: make one one more announcement. I don't know if you
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: guys all heard, but the Wisconsin Badgers they are playing
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: No Day next year and twenty twenty six. They have
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: decided to move the date from September fifth to September
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: sixth because they're going to go play at lambeau Field.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: So how cool is that? Playing Notre Dame at lambeau
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: Field September sixth, twenty twenty six.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: Brilliant marketing, right there is.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: I agree, Willie, Notre Dame plane Atlanta. Sense you haven't
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: sports a change the crew towards Iycorn Katy like Taylor Phillips,

• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: there or playing the band off.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to just throw out some names and I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: just I think this is fascinating. All these teams that
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: used to be in Detroit. Okay, did Detroit Wolverines, the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Detroit Lightning, the Detroit Drive did, Hetroit Turbos did, Detroit

  Speaker 2: Rockers did. Detroit Safari and Neon did. Detroit Vipers did,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: Detroit Fury, the Detroit Ignician, the Detroit Cougars, the Detroit
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Express did he tried Shock? Did he trit Demolition? The
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Michigan Panthers, Well now they're back. The Michigan Stags, Detroit Wheels,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Detroit Loves, Detroit Caesars, Detroit Auto Kings, and Detroit Softball City.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Those are all the teams that tried, maybe some not
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: very successfully, to play in a league in Detroit.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 5: I thought it was don't forget the Detroit Falcons.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Falcons.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: That was before they changed their That was that was
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: before they changed their name to the Red Wings.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, in nine, part of the same franchise. They've had
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: enough on them that failed. Don't put the Falcons in there.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: I forgot one more. I can't believe I forgot the
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Detroit Stars of the old Negro League.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: Yep, exactly here you go, all right, Well, that's okay,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: that's it.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: I just thought I throw some names.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: Well you did that, but I'm not hashtaging because they'll
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: probably never pick him up anyways.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I get as many as I can, you know, so
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: I have my hand working pretty good. Got a lot
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: of them out there. Hashtags are fun actually to keep
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: my might, keep my head into the game. So but
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I did that purposely to see if you were on
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: your feet or playing the piano, because we know you
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: don't have a phone that really works anyways. That's another
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: way to embarrass him on there, to get an Apple's phone.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: That's okay, I corner and I can get along with that. Well,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: he's just getting used to this stuff, and we know
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: he's eating it alive. His scooter is scooting over. Mister Eichord,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: who's pretended the Beethoven? Did Beethoven used to play the piano?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: I think?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Yes he did.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Where do I come up with Beethoven? Oh? Well, I

  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 5: Beethoven, isn't it?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Don't get me started with all the music.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: I just know there was a Beethoven someplace.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I just know that when people ask me about Pond's delion,
• 1:03:19
