1 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. 3 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 2: You've probably heard of deep fakes, but just last week, 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: as President Biden was at the G seven summit in Italy, 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 2: cheap fake clips went viral on social media and were 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: picked up by some news outlets. 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 3: Why the hell would I take a test? 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 4: Come on, man, I've said it for years now. He's cogent, 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 4: but I undersold him when. 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: I said he was cogent. He's far beyond cogent. 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 4: In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 4: intellectually analytically, because he's been around for fifty years. 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know if people know this 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 3: or not. 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 4: Biden used to be a hothead sometimes, that irishman would 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 4: get in front of the reasoning. Sometimes you would say 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 4: things he didn't want to say. 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 5: A honesty is that's a lonely world. 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: Everyone is so untrue. 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: A honesty. 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 5: Is hardly ever heard. But mostly what I need fun new. 22 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 4: Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell 23 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 4: you the truth and that you if you. 24 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: Can't handle the truth. 25 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 4: This version of Biden intellectually analytically is the best Biden 26 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 4: ever not a close second. 27 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: And I've known him for years. The presents have known 28 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: him for fifty years. 29 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it. 30 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 5: Honesty. 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 3: That's a loly word. 32 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 5: Everyone is so true, Ah, honesty. 33 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: This hardly ever heard? 34 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: Mostly what I need. 35 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 6: Them every time he comes on stage or they turn 36 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 6: to him, I'm like, Joe, can you get it out? 37 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: Let's get the words out. 38 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 5: Though you kind of feel bad for him, how do. 39 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 7: You think it makes little kids with stutters feel when 40 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 7: they see you make a comment like that. 41 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 6: First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden 42 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 6: ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see 43 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 6: on stage with Joe Biden Jake is very clearly a 44 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 6: cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable. 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: You are. 46 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: I think it's so amazing. 47 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 7: It's so amazing to me that. 48 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 6: Try and figure out an answer cognitive decline. You're trying 49 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 6: to tell me that what I was suggesting was I 50 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 6: think that. 51 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: You were mocking his stutter. 52 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter. And I 53 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 7: think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. 54 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 7: I would think that somebody in the Pump family would 55 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 7: be more sensitive to people who do not have medical 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 7: licenses diagnosing politicians from afar. Come on, man, you all 57 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 7: went along with the idea that he was up for it, 58 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 7: and he wasn't, and everybody saw it and the country 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 7: rejected it. 60 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 5: Honesty, every water is so true. Honesty, this rough last night, 61 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 5: the busy blood I need. 62 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 8: I told a member of George Foreman's family, talking about 63 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 8: the pain of losing their father, that the problem with 64 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 8: death is that you are missed directly proportionate to how 65 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 8: much you were loved. You know, everybody has that second 66 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 8: cousin good for nothing, went to prison, put his mother 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 8: through hell, borrowed money from everybody, caused problems for the 68 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 8: entirety of the family. Everybody worried that they were going 69 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 8: to do something wrong at any given time. When that 70 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 8: person passes, you're not trying to crawl into the casket 71 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 8: with them. 72 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: It's when. 73 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 8: Someone you're very close to that fills a space in 74 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 8: your life is gone that the imptenness is felt and 75 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 8: we all deal with this. Loss is grief. So I 76 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 8: decided years ago that I had so many things going 77 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 8: in my life that required my mental energy and emotion 78 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 8: that I should probably carve out sports because I was 79 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 8: a nuts sports fan and I didn't have the bandwidth 80 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 8: to throw myself into that. And I found that not caring, 81 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 8: you know, picking up sports at playoff time and watching 82 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 8: every game without rooting for anyone, you could actually appreciate 83 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 8: the nuances of the game, the competition, and whoever won, 84 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 8: you went to bed. 85 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: And it was no heartache. 86 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 8: It was I I had an odd sense, especially after 87 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 8: what happened last year and the guys coming back, that 88 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 8: this was going to be a special team. 89 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: And it was a special team. It was loaded. 90 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 8: They played defense like I've never ever and I've been 91 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 8: watching college basketball since the late seventies, I've never watched 92 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 8: a team play better defense than they did. I miss 93 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 8: the game of old of Patrick Ewing and Ralph Sampson. 94 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 8: Of course, a Kim the laje one ed Pintney. I 95 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 8: missed the low post position, the big boy down low 96 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 8: that was the enforcer to Kim Bay that when when 97 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 8: they came into the paint, you know, was swatting balls away, 98 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 8: was tough to defend. Had a good low post move, 99 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 8: which of course Juwan Roberts did different, different style of player. 100 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 8: I missed that aspect, and I miss the cutting and 101 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 8: slashing and passing and and and scripted plays as opposed 102 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 8: to the three point contest. 103 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: It feels like pickup ball. But boy, that team. 104 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 8: Last night, man, they were so much fun and what 105 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 8: a season this was to watch them. And I'm not 106 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 8: gonna lie. I mean, a team is not a university. 107 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 8: The university and the university experience is supposed to be 108 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 8: about education and growth and development and making contacts and learning, 109 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 8: and it's very personal to a student. Whoever wears your 110 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 8: uniform and happens to walk on the campus with you 111 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 8: is not your university. But it sure is easy to 112 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 8: forget that, isn't it. It sure is easy to root 113 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 8: for your team so much because that is part of 114 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 8: your identity, and it's fun when they win, you puff 115 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 8: your chest out a little bit. You think back to 116 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 8: your university you haven't been on the campus of in 117 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 8: many cases in quite some time.
