19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: We went back and forth a little bit earlier.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Dan.

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 4: Normally we leave each other alone.

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: Over the course of our travels highways and byways, vacations,

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: we see enough of each other.

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: It's like beat it.

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: But over the last week twice they all have been

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 3: the circumstance of nah man, you know, one of those

27
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: legacy and childhood things. With the passing of Ozzy Osbourne

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: a few days ago and then today, man, all I

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: did was run around. I want to I wish I

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: had a ring where I could have just bounced off

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: the ropes a while to try to get my head

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: around the fact that Hulk Hogan Terry Balaya, the uh

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: super Destroyer there you go, when he wore a mask

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: and you weren't supposed to know who he was. All

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: of those things had passed away. You know a bit

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: of that childhood. You know, it's starting to get sluffed

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: off here.

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: Bit by bit.

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: I can go full on, you know, take the movie

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: analogies of say like The Avengers spoiler alert, when they

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: all get turned to dust off a thano snap.

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: I feel like bits of pieces are going to day

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: after day.

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: Heah, yeah, I know where you're coming from. One hundred percent.

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 6: I will say that it is amazing that that we're

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 6: sitting here and being like seventy one, considering all of

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 6: the guys that he wrestled that are no longer here.

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: And had been gone a long time for many of them.

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 6: Yes, right, yes, like that's that's part of it, and

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 6: I just I can't get away from because now it's

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 6: been we're still within twenty four hours of finding out

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 6: of his passing. There were I don't want to call

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 6: him reports Mike, but there was talk saw some stuff

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 6: on TikTok recently on that Hulk Hogan wasn't in good condition.

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 6: Didn't know necessarily what was going on with it, but

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 6: the news just didn't sound good. Seemed like it was

57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 6: information that was from a source that wasn't just making

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 6: it up that it was, and why would you make

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 6: up something like that? But still when it happens, it

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 6: hurts now the Ozzie one because of the concert and everything.

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 6: There's so many emotions coming up with that mentioned Malcolm

62
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 6: Jamal Warner earlier, and I bring him up again because

63
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 6: of just the shock of it. But I know that

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 6: there are many people today who grew up watching The

65
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 6: Cosby Show, listening the Ozzy Osbourne and watching professional wrestling,

66
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 6: and I'm looking at one of them right now that

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 6: are just like, my.

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 5: Goodness, how could this happen?

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 6: And you want to look back at all of the

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 6: good times in the great times, and with Hulk Hogan

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: there were a lot of great times in the nineteen

72
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 6: eighties and there were a lot of great times in

73
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 6: the nineteen nineties. There's going to be discourse and discussions

74
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 6: about stuff that's happened recently. But I just think within

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: this twenty four hours, we have to honor the guy

76
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 6: that so many people were fans of, looked up to,

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: just made their life better, allowed them to escape through

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 6: the world of wrestling. And the character doesn't even seem right,

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 6: but the name of Halkoka Go.

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: That's just it right, separating the guy Terry Blaya and

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: the business side of all of this was somewhere in

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: between the character and the person. And certainly plenty of

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: stories from around the ring and behind the scenes and

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: power plays and whatever else, not terribly different than a

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: lot of the stuff that goes on in any workplace

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: of folks trying to climb a ladder or if they're

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: at the top of the food chain, you know what,

88
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: trying to stay there. Right, We've seen all of that

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: go back through some of the steroid trials, go back

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: through some of the other issues unionizing and things of

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: those nature. You can do deep dives on all of that,

92
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: plenty of documentaries to be had. Certainly some verbiage that

93
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: has resurfaced and has been part of the lexicon today,

94
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: not new information, just if you're new to the story

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: or you decide to as I like to call it.

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: You know, it's the theater of all of this in

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: our greater media world, and with everybody now having the

98
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: lower case jay for journalism with it as long as

99
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: armed with a phone and a social media account to

100
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: where it becomes a if I say something really outrageous

101
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: and pick at this, this or this, I can get

102
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: huge engagement. And certainly with Hulk Hogan, a lot of

103
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: folks were blissfully ignorant of some of the other things.

104
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean they didn't happen, But for the purpose of today,

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: you're talking about a lot of people whose livelihoods spawned

106
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: from it.

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: Who owe back to it.

108
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: All the wrestlers who had personal beef with several of

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: the instances that I'm talking about here, recognize like Brunus

110
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: the barber Beefcake. Yes he's still out there people, and

111
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: he still has his scissors.

112
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: They never reconciled.

113
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: They had a falling out years ago, It's been chronicled

114
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: in many interviews. Anything first thing he put up, it's like,

115
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: I love this man a lot of time together. I'm

116
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: sorry we didn't get to heal our rift before he passed,

117
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: and put up just as many photos of the two

118
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: of them together in different circumstances down in clear Water,

119
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: in the larger Tampa area where many of them call

120
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: home and everything else. So today I'm celebrating like I'm

121
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: ten and eleven watching Saturday Morning Wrestling WrestleMania, our first outing.

122
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: If you miss that story, get the podcast. It's one

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: that my brother's like, yeah, you captured that.

124
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: Well.

125
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: You can actually speak once in a while to which,

126
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: like with my mom and the White Sox raise game yesterday,

127
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: might have got.

128
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 4: A middle finger EMODEI back there.

129
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: General direction, but just the idea of the sentimentality of it,

130
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 3: of you know, you long for those spaces which are

131
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: fewer and farther between as you get older. Right, you

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: got parents going through stuff, relatives going through stuff, people

133
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: that you're working with, your friends, all of these different things,

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: not to mention the world at large that don't allow

135
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: you to calm your mind for five minutes. But when

136
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: you have an opportunity like here to touch back like

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: I did with Ozzy songs. I'm like, oh, remember when

138
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: he covered this whatever, Hey Hogan, remember this battle against

139
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: the Rock? Remember this, remember the nWo that you have

140
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: a laugh and you can reconnect with just that boyhood

141
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: if it's even if it's fleeting, it takes you out

142
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: of your headspace for some of the other negativity.

143
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 6: Steve Stunt called Steve Austin who wrote Haul Cogan was

144
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 6: born to be a professional wrestler larger than live charisma.

145
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 6: For days, he was in a stratosphere all on his own.

146
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 6: His contributions already mens, his influence will be forever. Haul

147
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 6: Caimania lives on. My condolences to his family and loved ones,

148
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: and there's a many like that going out there. The

149
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 6: separation of Hulk and Terry, I think is legit. Politics

150
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: obviously play a role in it lately, and whether you're

151
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: on the side or not on the side, I just said,

152
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 6: today is not that day for it, and I just

153
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 6: I refused to go down that road, Mike, and I

154
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 6: understand if you don't like it, but also just have

155
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 6: some respect. I have some respect for that life in

156
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 6: that career and what meant to so many, And you

157
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 6: pointed out of just of how many wrestlers as as

158
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Rock Hogan showdown that you mentioned.

159
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: Earlier, that's that's on our screen.

160
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 6: How many wrestlers were lifted because of what he did

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 6: and the groundwork that that he laid. And the other

162
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 6: part of that mic is I understand he also was

163
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 6: a huge benefit. Who wouldn't want to be the biggest

164
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 6: star in the face And there's stuff sure that came

165
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 6: with it, But I would also have to think that

166
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 6: it maybe necessarily think it wasn't always easy, you know,

167
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 6: like it couldn't always be easy. And you know, I

168
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 6: think was Annie that did the documentary you know, behind

169
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 6: the WCW and they're you know, falling out there. There's

170
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 6: there's all sorts of stories that will be rehashed and

171
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: we judicated over the how many you know, till whenever.

172
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 6: But for today, for this twenty four hours, I think

173
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: it's only fair and right to look back at a

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 6: figure that meant so much to so many.

175
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and certainly throughout pop culture we had the rock

176
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: and wrestling connection leading up to a WrestleMania one. You

177
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: get mister t in obviously they work together in Rocky three,

178
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: so it's a big part of that, and it continued

179
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: build the whole persona of Thunderlips a lot of TV shows,

180
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: a lot of movies, no matter how bad they are,

181
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: at some point you just appreciate how bad they are

182
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: and how much he really connect beyond the character that

183
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: was Hulk Hogan. And that's fine because guess what most

184
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: of these guys can't. The Rock is the same guy

185
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: and everything he just is and now.

186
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: We're rock catching a stray Geez Harvin, I.

187
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: Know, just like Rick Flair baying tribute to Hogan by

188
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 3: talking about the greatness of Ricky Stema. But it's like

189
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: all the actors all the way through, and to a man,

190
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: they're like, hey, Dave Bautista might end up being the

191
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: best of all, which is kind of interesting. But it's

192
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: just that kind of thing of you accept it for

193
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: what it is, like it or don't. As we quote

194
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant all the time, you don't like it, no,

195
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: watch and move on. Right if it's not your thing,

196
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: and it's not to deify things like from a wrestling perspective,

197
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: just go back through it. It's like I always thought

198
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 3: the leg drop was kind of lazy, but and it

199
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: also caused back injuries and problems, because that's the other

200
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: side of all of this.

201
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: You know, it's just choreographed.

202
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: With that, it's still three hundred pound guys falling some

203
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: level distance from the top rope or being thrown around

204
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: or whatever.

205
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: The cumulative effect of that.

206
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 3: Like you think about it's like, well, some of these

207
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: guys now have contracts where they only work eight days

208
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: a year in terms of taking a physical bump, Okay,

209
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: they get time to heal. Back then, you didn't Vince

210
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: McMahon had you and doing dark matches Monday through Friday.

211
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: You had a pay per view once some month, and

212
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: then you had Saturday Night Main Event, which is back

213
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: now which used to tag in for Saturday Night Live,

214
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: where you might have to do an appearance there, and

215
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: you're on the road three hundred plus.

216
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: Days of the year.

217
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: It's a different animal. Some of people are still road

218
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: warriors the top of the food chain, particularly a guy

219
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: like Hogan in his place and sert your equivalent of it.

220
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: In today's wwe wouldn't necessarily necessarily have to take the

221
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: physical bumps the same way they did. But you watch

222
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: the physical toll it took on all of these guys,

223
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: And to your point earlier, how few of his contemporaries

224
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: are around even eulogize him, yes, or have their airing

225
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: of the grievances if they needed to, because at seventy

226
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: one he survived many of them for myriad reasons across

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: the way. But for today, it's just looking back at

228
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: the zeitgeist, the capturing of the imagination, the fact that

229
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: you had a professional wrestler showing up, sitting there with

230
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: Regis and Kathy Lee.

231
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: Right, you have shorts.

232
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: Illustrated, sitcouns and sports illustrated. All of the merchandise that

233
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: flowed out. I read off the thing, and you know,

234
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: you always take it with a grain of sault in

235
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: the Wikipedia world, but one hundred and seventy one different

236
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: action figures six time. You know, champion in the wwfwwe

237
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: all of the work with WCW, the Tours of Japan

238
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: way back in the day. The fact that he was

239
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: a tag team partner of Dennis Rodman fighting against Carl Malone.

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 4: I mean, there's so many.

241
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 3: Tough points, just random data points where you're just like, yeah,

242
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: I remember that, you know the lean periods, the bulked

243
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: up periods, all of that stuff. It's it's just a

244
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: rich tapestry, but it's a lifetime, right. This goes back

245
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: to me being a little kid in the basement or

246
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: watching it in with you know, the Spanish language version

247
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: in the evening while sorting trading cards to do a

248
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: show the next day at a convention center in the

249
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: Greater Chicago area. It just brings back all those great memories.

250
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: My brothers and I we were.

251
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 4: Just sending memes of stuff all throughout.

252
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: Here's a clip of the Iron Sheet cursing out Hulk

253
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: cogin fifteen years ago. Here's Sergeant Slaughter going out. I

254
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: like all of these things, and it's like, for a minute,

255
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm a kid, Like I'm not thinking about all right,

256
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: the next bill coming from a doctor, the next scheduled

257
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: appointment here or there, whatever the doctor's appointment I had today,

258
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: which really was not my favorite to steal from my

259
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: child earlier. All of these things like, for a minute,

260
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: you just pause and you just go enjoy what you

261
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: grew up getting to just be a kid and enjoy.

262
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 6: So I felt, it's about us as much as you

263
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 6: wanted to be about Hulkogan.

264
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 5: It's about us, It's about.

265
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 6: Where we were growing up at that time, whatever age

266
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 6: you were, if you were in it, if you were younger,

267
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 6: you may not.

268
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 5: Follow wrestling now, you still were following.

269
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 6: It at that time. And that's what like, that's what

270
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 6: it's about. That's what I think that today is about.

271
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 6: And it's just it's too bad. Seventy one is a

272
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 6: good life, a lot better than his contemporaries, as we've

273
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 6: talked about.

274
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: But you just can't.

275
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 6: You can't right your childhood like so many people of

276
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 6: our age, mic without hal Kogan.

277
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 5: And it was the biggest of the big Yeah.

278
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go back after we're done with the show,

279
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: drive home, make myself my PhD weight loss cappuccino, and

280
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sit there and get back in the gym

281
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: in the morning. But until then, it's some more of

282
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: those WrestleMania's, as he headlined, what seven of the first eight.

283
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,119
Speaker 3: Go back and watch WrestleMania three from the Pontiac Silvernome,

284
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: go back to Madison Square Garden, who put up a

285
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: great tribute to him on the Marquee earlier today, and

286
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: just think of all those guys that passed through Ted

287
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: DIBIASI did an interview with our guys over at AM

288
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: five to seventy LA Sports. You can go and check

289
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: that out as well, talking about how early on he

290
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: had to get Hogan over. That was what he was

291
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: charged to do when Hogan was first coming up, and

292
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: then it would eventually get to pay the favor back

293
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: when the million dollar man Moniker with Virgil and everything

294
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: became a bigger deal. So you know, the Quicken pro quo,

295
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: all that greatness that necessarily flows from there, good times,

296
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: all along, great memories. Right after the show, the podcast

Speaker 4: Who's their rival this weekend? What have they got?

363
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: I forget the I saw the schedule earlier, I was like, Oh,

Speaker 3: this is gonna be a f it's.

365
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 6: A cross If it's cross division, it's the Twins. Yeah,

366
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 6: I don't have enough. Oh the start series with the Marlins.

367
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 4: There you go.

368
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why windows early tomorrow too.

369
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: So it's a game day baseball. It's a beautiful thing.

370
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 3: I'll be sitting probably sleeping through parts of the fantastic

371
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: movie that comes out, very excitable, but the girls are

372
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 3: eager to go see it.

373
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 6: So I gotta be honest, Like, I took two days

374
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 6: off because I had family in town, which is not

375
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 6: two days off. I have no idea what day it is.

376
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 6: It's honestly, I've done that a couple of times today.

377
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Steve, five.

378
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 5: Percent of today I thought it was Wednesday. Like, I

379
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 5: don't know why.

380
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 6: I just it zero zero and I'm like, God, not

381
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 6: a lot of baseball today. That's probably because it's Thursday.

382
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 6: That's probably why, Mike.

383
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 4: It's all right. I mean, in the end, it all

384
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 4: comes out in the wash.

385
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: Was there anything on your Thursday that you skipped because

386
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: you didn't know it?

387
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 7: No?

388
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 4: I mean like if you missed an appointment or something,

389
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: then you know.

390
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: Well you know this.

391
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 6: They're Major League Baseball's having the throwback caps for Hall

392
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 6: of Fame weekend. So you're gonna see a lot of

393
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: unique old baseball caps, which I think are pretty cool.

394
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: I always love. I mean, it's the one thing baseball

395
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: does better. We'll get to James Franklin ten media days

396
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 3: in a moment. But you see those sweet Blue Jays hats,

397
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: the ultra teal I think would be how I described

398
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 3: that Marlin's hat that goes for the center and certainly

399
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: going on down the road, the old school bird, the

400
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: classic brown see brown. No matter what we do, Dan,

401
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 3: we can't avoid it, the old San Diego Padres. It

402
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: makes me, you know, wax poetic of past conversations with

403
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 3: the late great Tony Gwynn.

404
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 4: I do like that. As you go through the roster.

405
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: On one of the blogs, they have a guy associated with

406
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: each cap, and then you got Reggie Jackson with the

407
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: old A's Luis Gonzalez becomes the poster child for the

408
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: d Backs, the old school classic late sixties Braves with

409
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: Hank Aaron and going on down the line.

410
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 6: You mentioned the Marlins, like that's one of the unfortunate

411
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 6: things was when they had that teal helmet or teal hat.

412
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 6: It stood out so much, but then they ended up

413
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 6: in later years just transitioning to the black helmet and

414
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: now hat. And because of the Miami Marlins anymore, there's

415
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 6: no more ability to have to go back and have

416
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 6: the f there because there's in Florida for it. But

417
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 6: you can do it on a throwback weekend like this.

418
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: Now one I wish they would have gone and done

419
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: because mine got filthy because I overused it. I'm not

420
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: an Angels guy, but the one that actually had a

421
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 3: halo on top on the top of the cap. So

422
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: for this weekend, it's the two thousand and two World

423
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: Series team being commemorated. But I'll tell you what, you

424
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 3: tried out that old Nolan Ryan halo hat. I'm there, man,

425
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 3: let me go.

426
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 6: The Twins are wearing because I love the Twins in

427
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 6: the TC and I don't mind as much the new

428
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 6: am with their north star above it. Like, that's creative.

429
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: But you'll know it when you say it. When you

430
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 6: say that, Kirby Pucket, m that's what they're going to

431
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 6: do this weekend. That like it just screams childhood. He

432
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 6: was I love the TC. When they went away from it,

433
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 6: I was so disappointed. But the Twins are going to

434
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 6: be rocking that.

435
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: Brewers rocking the seventy five Hank Aaron end of his run,

436
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 3: breaking the record. I do like with the Marlins, look

437
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: at it, look at shows up, good old shun up.

438
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: They found a picture of him not smoking. Okay, he

439
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: may have.

440
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 6: Actually, Charlie Hockitch looked like he was sixty eight years

441
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 6: old when he was pitching for the Marlins.

442
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: Yeah he did, Yeah, he did.

443
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: Legend I think he was in his mid forties.

444
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Oh, but.

445
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: I didn't think about one of the great things in

446
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: pop cultures, the Wilford Brimley line. You have a picture

447
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: of him from Cocoon. He was He wasn't even fifty

448
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 3: one years old at that point. Yes, And then you

449
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: look at Paul Rudd, you look at some of these

450
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: other guys, you look at me. We don't look anywhere

451
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: near as old as good old Wilford Brimley, even if

452
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: my hairline has crept back just a wee bit, and

453
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: maybe the eyes are a little tired.

454
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: I've seen some things. Man.

455
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: If I were a cat again, you got to listen

456
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: to the whole show. I'd probably be on my seventh life.

457
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: But let's start our attention back to the wonderful world

458
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: of college football in a moment. But first, why don't

459
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 3: we take a trip over to the news desk one

460
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: final time for the night Monziga.

461
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: Get out of here, get out of dodge.

463
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,640

Speaker 9: I know what day is today, But those weeks where

00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: the tongue in cheek. Yeah, this is going to become

509
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: a thing, And then the next day it became a thing.

510
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: It became Jason and I just joking about it, and

511
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, it's like, hey, we spoke that.

512
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 4: In new existence.

00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it goes back to that performative hot take

514
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: nonsense thing we were talking about.

515
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:44,600

00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,280

00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: did was wrong after making millions.

533
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 6: Of dollars Caul Cogan haters today, you know, like, let's

534
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 6: you know, let's at least let Costas on SNL.

535
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 3: Okay, well, we'll let them late for the moment. One

536
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 3: last news update. This comes from ad how about a fresca? Yes,

537
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 3: our buddy Jason Smith quote proof there are higher beings

538
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: looking out for us. Twenty four Hour White Castle in Michigan.

539
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: When you land at eleven twenty seven pm, you can

540
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: be there by twelve fourteen am.

541
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: There you go.

542
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 5: So you hasn't been in Michigan this this whole time.

543
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 4: Just I knew he was going at some point this week.

544
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 4: I didn't know.

545
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 5: Now Smith is in the Mitten.

546
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 6: Here's the thing with white Castle. Yeah, because I'm a

547
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 6: picky eater. Again, I eat like a nine year old.

548
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 6: My hamburgers have to be playing and there's just no

549
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 6: way to get a plane hamburger from white Castle, Like

550
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 6: it has to have the onions.

551
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 5: So I just is that right?

552
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 6: Yes, well, I would assume, especially like how they make them.

553
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 6: They make like forty at a time, and then you

554
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 6: just cut them up.

555
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: And I think you're just going to say, give me

556
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: forty of those bad boys with that.

557
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 6: I need to get a whole plane. Just the bun

558
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 6: and the meat, please, That's all that I need. But

559
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 6: then again, it probably wouldn't be white Castle.

560
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: That's a fair point. White Castle was the end of

561
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: race night.

562
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 3: We either went to the place with burritos as big

563
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: as our heads or white Castle near Midway Airport, which I.

564
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: Don't think is even there anymore.

565
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 6: I'll tell you, like the eight night window of like

566
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 6: white Castle late night. Sure white Castle isn't everywhere, but

567
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 6: the the we just went to a party where we're

568
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 6: all going that seems like a white Castle thing for

569
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 6: the single guy getting off work late eleven o'clock midnight.

570
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: The Wendy's open light window. Okay, yes, like.

571
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 6: That was it was game changer, Like it absolutely was,

572
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 6: because usually everything's closed. And I feel like other places,

573
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 6: other places like cashed in on it. But I wonder

574
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 6: if Wendy's is like, well, look, everybody just goes to

575
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 6: white Castle, I would just keep our drive through open.

576
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 6: I feel like Wendy's was one of the first to

577
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 6: do that, and maybe they were inspired by all of

578
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 6: the late night white Castle trips because that was that.

579
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: Was all we did.

580
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it began the what what else is open? Yes,

581
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: not a whole lot, and while around that area where

582
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: we were for good reason anymore. So let's leave it there.

583
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: James Franklin Big ten media days we've been having all

584
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: the time.

585
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 5: I'm going to Wendy's after work.

586
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: By w I'm gonna drive to the border and go

587
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: to White Castle near Vegas. Now, I mean I'm out.

588
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: Let's go road trip. Who wants to go play some graps?

589
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: Let's get happen and maybe we can meet up with

590
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: James Franklin. He's mad, he's not. He doesn't have anybody

591
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: asking for his autograph in Vegas, so why don't we

592
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: get to it. Let's hear from James Franklin about the

593
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: fun and challenges of Big ten media.

594
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 11: A lot of our beat writers did not come to

595
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 11: this because they couldn't.

596
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 5: Afford to get out here. And the majority of our teams.

597
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 11: Are near Chicago, where this used to always be. A

598
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 11: majority of our teams are near Indianapolis where this used

599
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 11: to be, and it.

600
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 5: Creates a different environment.

601
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 11: I walk around the lobby, I'll see I don't see

602
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 11: any signage, I'll see anything for the Big Ten.

603
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: I'll see people getting autographs.

604
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: I'll see it's a different vibe, but it's.

605
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: A different feeling.

606
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 11: I think that other conference, when they have their their meetings,

607
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 11: there's essentially a press conference every single day at the

608
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 11: end of the meetings, keeps people talking about that conference

609
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 11: at a time of the year and makes them relevant.

610
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: We're not doing that.

611
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 11: We need to be talking about the Big Ten and

612
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 11: our programs and the things that we do and making

613
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 11: it as successful to everybody as we possibly can, and

614
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 11: connecting with the Fansroks. I think Vegas is a special place,

615
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 11: and I think they run events as well as anybody,

616
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 11: but it's a different.

617
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: Do you think anybody who was up in jumping up

618
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: and down with a sign that said Las Vegas Tourism

619
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: At the end when Franklin circles back as if to

620
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 3: remind him, is like, you didn't pay a dime to

621
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: come here, and you're still getting your say, everybody's kissing

622
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: your ass as you're expected to perform.

623
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 4: Well, here's the Vegas sign. They've done us fairly well.

624
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 3: Now it looks on on TV you got these wide

625
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: gaps between middle of this massive ass ballroom where they've

626
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: set up some of the big ten network tables, and

627
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: then you just have what looks like a football fee

628
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: to the other media members that are sociated. So it's

629
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: got an odd look to it. I get his point though, right.

630
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: It's it goes back to that you want to make

631
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 3: it to where it's an event for your fans. Now

632
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: you do a lot in Chicago and certainly Indianapolis. As

633
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: you and I have talked about a lot a lot

634
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: of events, and I like that it's walkable, Like I

635
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: remember the Super Bowl week and the weather cooperated and

636
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: all of that was great, but everything was in a

637
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: mile square where you can pretty much walk everywhere. That's cool.

638
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: Chicago not as much. A little bit of a pain

639
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: in the ass getting around with some work, you can

640
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: get it. But for Las Vegas, but I guarantee you

641
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: the bottom line was they got incentivized heavily to make

642
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: it there. You're trying to make it an event into

643
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: a into and of itself, and maybe for those diehards

644
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 3: that make it, maybe you don't have critical mass, but

645
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, you are still trying to stand out. And

646
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: Las Vegas is well no longer an outpost in some

647
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 3: of these leagues.

648
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: It's still on the table.

649
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 6: I think that it's it's tricky, especially because of the

650
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 6: old name that it's had. I covered Big Ten basketball

651
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 6: media days. Mikey has at a hotel across the freeway

652
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 6: from O'Hare. Yeah, so everybody flew a You went into

653
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 6: a ballroom at the Hilton and everybody was there. And

654
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 6: it's basketball, So it's a little lesson son as big

655
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 6: as football was. But still you know, it's a time

656
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 6: where Tom was there, Bo Ryan was there during my time,

657
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 6: so you had notable names and you sat down at

658
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 6: a table and he talked to everyone. That's not necessarily

659
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 6: what this is. Everybody's on a podium. Sure you're doing

660
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 6: the same sort of exercise, but it's more of promote day.

661
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 6: And I think that James Franklin is right with a

662
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 6: lot of stuff. He's right, but he's not right in

663
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 6: essence of I don't think that, like, how does USC, UCLA,

664
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 6: Oregon and Washington feel during the season when they're traveling

665
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 6: across the country and figuring out those things, and and

666
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 6: like that's that's a bigger problem than taking this one

667
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 6: off in July and going around. I get all of

668
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 6: it points for it, but it's the bed that they

669
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 6: made and the deal with that the Big Ten made

670
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 6: and bringing those four schools in. They played a They've

671
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 6: played a conference basketball tournament in Washington, d C. They've

672
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 6: played one in Madison Square Garden a week earlier because

673
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 6: they didn't want it to conflict with the Big East

674
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 6: Tournament a few years back, but because they wanted the

675
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 6: New York market. You don't think they're gonna take football

676
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 6: and go to Las Vegas for a couple of days,

677
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 6: which is exactly what they've did. There've been more egregious

678
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 6: things that they have done to try to expand their

679
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 6: footprint than this, and it stinks.

680
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 5: I get it.

681
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 6: There's entities that can't afford to do the cross country trip,

682
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 6: especially with if Penn State's got other games out west

683
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 6: that maybe they'll That company's got a budget for all

684
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 6: of that is fair, but it doesn't look at the

685
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 6: big picture of it. I think it's point of fandom

686
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 6: and stuff like that may be fair, but I still

687
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 6: don't know how much of that goes on. I don't

688
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 6: know how many people are waiting outside for autographs. I

689
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 6: don't think that's necessarily a real thing. So while I

690
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 6: get his gripes for it, I just don't think that

691
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 6: it's necessarily for the media. And by the way, Mike

692
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 6: Media Day, turn on Big ten Network. They've got it

693
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 6: all for you.

694
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 3: It's covered now. You don't get to ask your individual questions.

695
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: Sit down, have a cup of coffee at the table.

696
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: This is also an opportunity for the university. If you

697
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: think it's that important, there's monies to be had. It

698
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: does not cost that much for people that cover you,

699
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: particularly the university side of things, to make that up.

700
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 6: Sure, if they felt that that endity needed to go,

701
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 6: but if you felt like people.

702
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 3: Can make this happen, right, you've got people in the organization,

703
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: you know what, it would behoove us to have more

704
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: people from greater Pennsylvania in that room.

705
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: I think I think that's a convenient excuse.

706
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 6: It's versal. Wasn't there a press conference last year? Or

707
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: he didn't want to answer any question?

708
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's done that. He's so temperament I.

709
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 6: Aw, he's worried about the So yeah, he's right, but

710
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 6: he's wrong if there's a way that you could put it.

711
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: And it's not just about the media, it's much more

712
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 5: than that.

713
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: And as for those other four teams, they made a

714
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: choice by blowing up that other conference and deciding, and

715
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: so two of them especially, Yeah, so I'm not feeling

716
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: terribly terribly bad for them, for some of the athletes.

717
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: But again, you're choosing where you go to school, you

718
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: know where the If you are already in the school,

719
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 3: then yeah, you're a victim of circumstance as that changes,

720
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: But as you're making your decision now or you're in

721
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 3: the portal potential, you're deciding where you're going.

722
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 6: Well, it makes sense though, because the Big Ten does

723
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 6: have a team in the school in Las Vegas well.

724
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 3: And in pretty much pretty much stayed at this point, Dane.

725
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll take over a U and OL at least

726
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: close in Maryland and DC like it makes sense, you know, yeah,

727
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: keep going.

728
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's we're adjacent to navas sure, just

729
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: a hop is skipping a jolt.

730
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 5: Everybody at LI goes to Vegas anyway, so what's the point.

731
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what they were thinking.

732
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: Go sit in the highway for five hours. You'll have

733
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 4: at it. He's Dan Bayer and Dan Byron Fox. Find

734
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 4: me over d zwelling down.

735
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 3: We'll stay with the Big Ten coaches because now Oregon's

736
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: coach wants to raise his hand and say, hey, don't

737
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: forget about us.

738
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 4: We're in a pretty good spot. But we like where

739
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 4: we're at. We'll talk.
