21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: on Fox made possible in part by our friends at

00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: tire Rack. That's right for over forty years, Tyraq has

23
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: been helping customers like Ferg dog Alf and malarprop Guy

00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: ship fast and free, which is very important to mister

Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation tire rac dot com.

28
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: The wait tire bond should be so our lead. This

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: hour is from Pittsburgh. The Steelers are not bad. They're

30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: not good. They played bad in their last game, and

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: I just love any chance I have to play audio

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: for Mike Tomlin. It's just so good. So we're gonna

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: take a trip to Pittsburgh, PA. Right there they fall

34
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: out from the no show second half performance. There as

35
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Steelers fans were giving Mike Tomlin the business, they greeted

36
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: him with a chorus of boo flat and raining down

37
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: rhythmic chanting to get rid of Mike Tomlin. After that

38
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: debacle in the second half where they just were guilty

39
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: of truancy. It just did not show up. So Tomlin

40
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: was asked again about all of this, the uprising, you,

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the natives not being happy with the Pittsburgh Steelers and

42
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: everything that's going on right now. In Pittsburgh. They brought

43
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers. He's not very good. You know, made

44
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: some moves, but haven't exactly paid off. No dividends from

45
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: those moves in the offseason right now. So Tomlin was

46
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: asked about everyone being very restless in the steel City,

47
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: and let's go to the audio tape.

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: In general, I agree with them. From this perspective, football

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: is our game. We're in a sport entertainment business. And

50
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: so if you root for the Steelers, entertaining them is winning.

51
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: And so when you're not winning is not entertaining. And

52
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: if you've been in this business, you understand that, and

53
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: so I respect it. I share frustrations. I understand what

54
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: makes this thing go, and winning is what makes this

55
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: thing go.

56
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: I say the same thing as you know, people see

57
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: here in the sports talk business. We're in the entertainment business.

58
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: That's what we're in here. Well, we're just it's the vehicle,

59
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: the window is the sporting world. But Tomlin's such a

60
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: great sound bite, just absolute wonderful. So it's a good

61
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: jumping off point. You heard Tom and there we're in

62
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: the entertainment business, the sports entertainment business. So let us

63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: discuss the question for the esteem panel, what intrigues you

64
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: the most about Mike Tomlin agreeing with the frustrated Steeler

65
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: fan base and the boozoo that rained down on Mike Tomlins.

66
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: So I've got bomb Squad, iPhone twelve and Emmy and

67
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: are going to have a grand old jamboree, is what

69
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: We're going to have, Just a wonderful jamburee. So a

70
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin reminding us yet again that he is a

71
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: smooth operator, a smooth operator. He knew the line of

72
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: questioning was coming, all right, shaw Dave Foy, he knew

73
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: what was coming down. And so Tomlin, he walked into

74
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: the blast zone, the demilitarized zone there, the smooth operator

75
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: he is, and the booze raining down he was asked

76
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: about that, and like mortar firing down from the upper

77
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: balcony there at the stadium formerly known as Hinz Field,

78
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: And instead of ducking, instead of being defensive and pushing

79
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: back and all that, no, he was able to take

80
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: his little clippers and he clipped the red wire, not

81
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: the blue wire, because the blue wire would have gone kerfluey.

82
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: He clipped the red wire with his bare hands, showing

83
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: you the ability that he's the captain of the bomb

84
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: squad and he can't cut the blue wire because it's kerfluey.

85
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: You got to cut the red wire. He cut the

86
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: red wire, and he did it just before everything exploded,

87
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: So there you go. He didn't argue, Tomin, didn't push back,

88
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: he didn't deflect, none of that stuff. He didn't whind

89
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: about hurt feelings and all that stuff. He basically said,

90
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: you're mad and you're right. You're mad and you're right.

91
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: He took the air out of the angry balloon, is

92
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: what Mike Tomlin did. And he also used the spin

93
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: Golly effect is what he used on this. He's been

94
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: Gali effect here. That Tomlin has the ability to mesmerize

95
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: and hypnotize. He could mesmerize a parking meter Mike Tomlin

96
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: the way that he speaks. And you know, people have

97
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: upset and the team hasn't won a playoff game at

98
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: a long time. They don't look like they're gonna win

99
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: a playoff game this year. If they even get to

100
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that's not a guarantee. So there's a lot

101
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: of stuff going on and the people upset and they're like,

102
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, but Mike, he sounds kind of like he

103
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Yeah, So Tomlins, Pittsburgh Steeler football team,

104
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: the way they've played most of the season. Again, they're

105
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: not the worst team, they're not the great. They've played

106
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: like they've been zombie fied the Steelers here, and there's zombies,

107
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: slow walkers, just a little off where they need to be,

108
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: just a little bit off. The Steelers are twenty eighth

109
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: an offense. And if you think that's not great, how

110
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: about their defense? The defense has to be better than

111
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, No, twenty eighth in total defense this year?

112
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Holy Sean the hood guy Batman, what's going on? And

113
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: so there we are. That's not balance. Who they're twenty

114
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: eighth and twenty eighth, that's ballot No. No, that is

115
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: symmetry of suck. Is what that is. That's not balance,

116
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: That symmetry of suck. So I hope you enjoy that.

117
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: A complete boone doggle. The Steelers season so far, and

118
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: that team consistently for five, six, seven years has served

119
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: up slow turned vanilla ice cream. They don't serve anything

120
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: other than slow turned vanilla ice cream. And then people say, well,

121
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: we want sprinkles we'd like to get. Well, we don't

122
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: have any sprinkles. What we have is vanilla ice cream,

123
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: is slow turned vanilla. I scream, but we want some fudge.

124
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Don't give you any fudge. We have no fudge for you.

125
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: What about a nice waffle cone? We don't have waffle

126
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Can I get a waffle bawl? We don't have waffle balls.

127
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we don't have that. All we have is

128
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream and you have to eat with your hands.

129
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: That's Steeler football. That's what it is here. And Tomlin

130
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: as the pied piper. He knows he's golden. Tomlin knows

131
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: either he keeps the job in Pittsburgh, which is the

132
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: most likely outcome because they don't get rid of coaches,

133
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: and either that or he goes and gets some no

134
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: show TV job somewhere where he can just spew nonsense

135
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: and get paid tons of money and not doing any

136
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: prep like Tom Brady, So you could do that. Or

137
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: the other option is he goes and gets another coaching

138
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: job somewhere at the NFL level. We'll get hired in

139
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: two minutes if he is let go by the Steelers,

140
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: which is very unlikely. But he's the pied piper, that's

141
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: what he is. He's piping the pied piper. You put

142
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: the parade behind Tomlin, and of course, unfortunately the parade

143
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: behind him is dragging one leg. That's his team, which

144
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: is not ideal, groaning, and they're selling punts a dime

145
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: a dozen. You get twelve punts for one dime. It's

146
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: really quite the operation they've got going there in Pittsburgh.

147
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Meanwha to the Warp Speed Sports Wire, not the High

148
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: Speed Sports Wire, the Warp Speed Sports Wire where Adam

149
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: Feeland has found a new home. Adam Feelin, I don't

150
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: know if you saw this or or maybe not, maybe

151
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: you did not keep up on this. And they're very

152
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: concerned about washed up wide receivers where they end up

153
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: late of the Minnesota Vikings. We have learned now that

154
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Adam Feelen is taking his talents too Pittsburgh. He's gonna

155
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: join Mike Tomlin and the Steelers claimed off waivers. They

156
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: fire you, and every other business can claim the fired employee.

157
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: And Adam Feeling asked to be given the pink slip.

158
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: He was given the pink slip, and so there we go,

159
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: all right, the question what does washed up wide receiver

160
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland bring to the Petsburg Steelers. All right, so

161
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he brings. Okay, after several minutes

162
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: of contemplating on the long drive in from the north Woods,

163
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: contemplating what Adam Feeling brings to the Steers, think of

164
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: it in the holiday spirit. He's like a Christmas ornament,

165
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: or in this case, a roster ornament. And what does

166
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,119
Speaker 1: that mean. That means that if you've watched football casually,

167
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling looks great hanging from the depth chart tree,

168
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: looks really good night, sparkles under the lights at the facility,

169
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, that's a name I've heard of.

170
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: This guy used to be one of the top receivers

171
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL with the Vikings. And he also absolutely

172
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: does not change the direction of the team. Doesn't change

173
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: the direction of the team. The Steelers passing offense. Let

174
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: me spell it off for you. It's E N E

175
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: M C A namick. There a name it. Pittsburgh is

176
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: where wide receivers go to run the five yard curl

177
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: and pray for sunlight. Of course, this time of the

178
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: year you are and it's got, it's got. That offense

179
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: has less downfield juice. Where's the juice? All right, there's

180
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: no juice there. They've got less juice than a dead

181
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: car battery on the side of the interstate in the

182
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: in the blizzard back in Minnesota where Adam Fieln was. Okay,

183
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: good luck on that. And these guys can barely complete

184
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: a pass. Literally, if you look at the numbers, I'm

185
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: not making this. They can barely complete a pass beyond

186
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: ten yards, and they need a flight plan, and even

187
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: then they don't get clearance to complete the pass over

188
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: ten yards. So it's a big mess. So unless Adam

189
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: Feelin can hire a special personal coach Poncetelyon Poncetelyon as

190
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: his personal trainer. And the legend is one of the

191
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: great legends that the waters of Florida famously the fountain

192
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: of youth, the springs of youth. Well, how about has

193
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: anyone checked the mononga HeLa. What if Ponstellion was wrong

194
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: and the waters that will keep us living forever are

195
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: in the mononga HeLa or the Allegheny. Why didn't anyone

196
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: check that? Bad job by them? You can hire Poncetellion

197
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: as Adam Feelin's guy, and then there you go. The

198
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: fountain of youth will be bubbling up somewhere, and of

199
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: course that's not likely to happen. So that means this

200
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: is a cosmetic, a purely cosmetic move. It's kind of

201
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: like going out to the desert and seeing a cactus

202
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: and putting lipstick on the cactus. Well, it looks okay,

203
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: but it's still a cactus. Not gonna do anything with it.

204
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: That's it. Feeling is an iPhone twelve in a world

205
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: of iPhone seventeen, Pro, Max, Ultra Infinity and Beyond whatever, whatever, whatever,

206
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: whatever dumb names they come up with for these phones.

207
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: So he's a warm body. I assume he's got a

208
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: warm body. He's not dead, so I assume he's got

209
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: a warm body, and he's a good seat filler. Good

210
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: seat filler, looks good. Nostalgia you can tell, Oh, you

211
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: remember what this guy Feeling was with the Vikings and

212
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: he was great in twenty twenty. Remember that. Yeah, so

213
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: name you recognize. So you got that name you recognize,

214
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: and you kind of check the box and what's in

215
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: the what's in the box you just checked the box.

216
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: So the Steelers what they need is dinomte. They did

217
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: not get dynamite. They did not. They picked up a

218
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: nice scented candle. That's what they got. So if your

219
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: dog farts, you can light the candle and you've got

220
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: a nice scent there, and it's just great and wonderful. Now.

221
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: On the Mallor report card for the Adam Feeling edition,

222
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: the most important scorecard of them all, the Malor report

223
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: Card for Adam Feeling going from Minnesota the Pittsburgh on waivers.

224
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: Did I give it an A, A bright you go

225
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: to be? Did I give it a C, A D

226
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: or an F? No of that. On the Malley report card,

227
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: I gave it a P for placebo. The placebo effect

228
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: is what I gave it.

229
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: All right.

230
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, last word, this is a good story. I saw

231
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: this and it's it's continued to get better and better

232
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and better and better and better. So we'll go to Gotham.

233
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff going on. Giants sucked, but there's

234
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on around the Giants which

235
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: is somewhat interesting. And I have a talk show to do,

236
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: so I think this is interesting and I wanted to

237
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: share it with you if you didn't see this. So

238
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: the Giants have this stud rookie out of Penn State,

239
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: Abdul Carter, who so far his elite skill is not

240
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: showing up to team meetings and practices on time. He's

241
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: really good at that. Like, if you want an elite

242
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: edge rusher who is so good he can't show up

243
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: on time to work, You've got your guy. Abdul Carter

244
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: is really good. So he got benched. You saw the

245
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Money Night game. He did not play the first two

246
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: series of that game. That is the second time Abdul

247
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: Carter has been benched for malfeasance and truancy all that stuff.

248
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: That was against the Patriots when by the time he

249
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: got into the game was seventeen to nothing. Yeah, game over,

250
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: game over at that point. Anyway, get to the point please. So,

251
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: although he was initially reported that Carter was benched for

252
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: disciplinary reasons, there was a fake report that got some

253
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: legs online that claimed the reason Abdull Carter was punished

254
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: was for watching porn in a team meeting. Yeah, that's

255
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: a totally fake report, right. It was a parody account

256
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: on x that spread the rumor, and the reason we're

257
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: bringing it up is because what do you think Abdull

258
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Carter did the mensa the mensa for the New York Giants.

259
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: What do you think he did? Do you think he

260
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: ignored the story? B said no comment, which is a

261
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: way of annoying the story. Or c sent out a

262
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: comment trying to debunk the satire story. Ding ding ding

263
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Yes, so

264
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: this numb nuts. Abdul Carter decided, I'm gonna respond to

265
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: the obvious fake story. Let me tell you something, even

266
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: if these guys were watching porn in a meeting, they're

267
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: not gonna say it publicly, all right anyway, So abdul

268
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: Carter responded and then deleted the post on social media.

269
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: The post said stop this is his post, stop slandering

270
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: my name real and now I'm gonna clean this up

271
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: because we're on the radio. Lucky Tony would say the word,

272
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna clean up real poop. He said a

273
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: different word. It starts with an S. But I don't

274
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: know that word. You know, we're kids. We can't say

275
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: that word. We're not a grown ups. It's not the

276
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: middle of the night. We can't say that word. Be

277
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: in trouble, So anyway, that's the quote, and he said,

278
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: and if you believe that BS, you stupid, not your stupid,

279
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: you stupid. Okay. Carter then of course did what everyone does,

280
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: trying to delete the evidence. He deleted the post. We

281
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: know how that works. I know about it. I didn't

282
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: see it in real time. So question, how do you

283
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: classify the giant's edge rusher Abdull Carter, responding passionately to

284
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: a satire report. I report it was something busting balls

285
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: on social media. So Carter committed the NFL's version of

286
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: an unforced error, big thing in tennis, right, unforced error.

287
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: This was it wasn't just a mistake, just a mistake.

288
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: This was an Emmy Award type of performance as in

289
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: me as in mental error by Abdulla Carter. Emmy the

290
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: kind that you submit for consideration in the category in

291
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: Hollywood for outstanding achievement in making a bad story worse

292
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: the winner. Abdull Carter, congratulations. So a parody account, which

293
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: was obviously a parody account, a cartoon character that's got

294
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: some kind of Wi Fi hook up, and they throw

295
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: out a fake story claiming that Abdul Carter got benched

296
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: because he was watching porno in a team meeting, which

297
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: is obviously bogus and total satire, not a grain of

298
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: truth in it, not even close. And what does Abdul

299
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Carter do? He quote, tweets it, blast, it deletes it,

300
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: then fires off if you believe that'd be asked to you, stupid.

301
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Abdulla Carter the New York Giants. You just

302
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: poured rocket fuel on a spark, just a little spark

303
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: that was dying on the vine there, and you turned

304
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: to nothing burger into a double whopper with extra cheese.

305
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: Congratulations on that. So this is what these social media overlords,

306

358
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,240

359
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: little camera side chat with Mike Turco. And these big

361
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: you weren't. You weren't watching. You didn't watch the Knickerbockers

362
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: and the and the Celtics are well. Michael Jordan discussed

363
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of things, including his love of the game clause,

364
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: the legendary love of the game clause that he had

365
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: in his contract with the Chicago Bulls, and Jordan also

366
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: brought up the modern player in comparison. Let's go to

367
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: the audio tape. Take a listen. Here's Michael Jordan the

368
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: love of the game.

369
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 5: Other game of contract. Right, if I was driving with

370
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: you down the street and I see play basketball game

371
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: inside the road, I can go play in that basketball game,

372
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 5: and if I get hurt, my contract is still guarantee.

373
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 5: I love the game so much that I would never

374
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 5: let someone take the opportunity for me to play the

375
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: game away from me, as opposed to now where you

376
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 5: don't have it, players probably don't play now they get

377
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 5: individual attention with their trainer. Sure, no way to go

378
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 5: out and shoot one hundred shots or one thousand shots.

379
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 5: I found it to my benefit was go play basketball, man.

380
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 5: That's what you did, that's what you grew up doing.

381
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: There you go. Now, I'm the same way as Jordan.

382
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: If I go and see somebody doing sports takes on

383
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: the side of a country road, I'll pull over and

384
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: I'll do sports takes. And I have it in my

385
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: contract here at Fox Sports Radio where I'm allowed to

386
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: get into a sports debate on a dark country road

387
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: out in the boondocks. And they allowed me to do that,

388
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: and I had that written in. Yeah, I had that.

389
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: That was written into the contract. And Jonas Knox does

390
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: not have that. He's not allowed to do that. He

391
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: cannot pull over and do a hot take debate on

392
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: the side of it. I have that. That's me, just

393
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 1: like Michael Jordan. I'm the Jordan of my time. All right,

394
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: So let's get into this. Let's discuss That's a good

395
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: jumping off point what Jordan said. So how did Michael

396
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Jordan's comments about today's players essentially not playing basketball enough, right,

397
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: not loving the game, not wanting to play enough. How

398
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: did that hit you? So I've got Pickley, wigglely belly whopper,

399
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: and free chole, and we will combine all of these

400
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to channel moneyball. Malle

401
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna channel.

402
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 7: So number one, his airness, stepped up to the microphone,

403
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 7: step right up, step right up, fun for.

404
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: All ages is there, has stepped up and basically told

405
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: today's NBA players kids yet don't play enough basketball. He

406
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: dropped the mic and he walked away. And you know

407
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: what doesn't sound wrong to me? Doesn't sound wrong to

408
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: me in Jordan's speak, which is not coach speak. In

409
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Jordan speak, the actual basketball part of basketball has become

410
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 1: for the modern player and incan convenience. It is an inconvenience,

411
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: a nuisance to the modern player. It's an ingrown toenail,

412
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: is what it is. And it's an ingrown toenabo toenail

413
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: on an oversized foot for the modern superstar. And Jordan, Now,

414
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: was this a humble bracture. Of course it was. It

415
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: was better in mine day. And this is one thing

416
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: in my life. I remember when I started in the

417
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: sports radio and there were there were guys from the

418
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: old generation who were ripping the modern player of the

419
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: nineties they said, those guys are a bunch of softies,

420
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson and Kobe Bryant, and that generation, the guys

421
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: from the eighties, and now then the guys from the

422
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: nineties ripped the following generations. It's it's the same thing,

423
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: I mean, But on Jordan's point, I think he hit it.

424
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan had the fire in the belly. Was

425
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: baked into his contract that he could play a pickup

426
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: game of basketball anywhere, anytime, even if it was on

427
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: a cracked blacktop next to a Pigley wiggley in Wilmington,

428
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina, it didn't matter. And if he blew out

429
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: his knee too bad, Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner at the time,

430
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: had to pay the contract, had to cut the check,

431
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: cut that check, cut that check to Michael George. And

432
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: that's how deep his obsession. His obsession ran, And so

433
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: he was a Jim Ratt loved basketball stuff, lived in

434
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: the weight room and the practice cord and occasionally the casino.

435
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: That would happen. Now today, the new age baller, they

436
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: float on an inner tube down the Lazy River. They do,

437
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: yet they have all the creature comforts. They have private chefs,

438
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: they have personalized trainers. They have the shooting coaches, they

439
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: have the stretching gurus, they have sleep consultants, they have

440
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: a social media team, they have emotional support gardeners. For

441
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: some reason, I don't know why you'd need that. So

442
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: it's work smarter, not harder. That's the mantra there motto.

443
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: But Jordan's message was kind of obviously, stop hiding behind

444
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: the amenities checklist. It's kind of weak. Go play basketball, man.

445
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: The game has become a chore and the issue, and

446
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: to me this cuts down to the main problem that

447
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: I have with watching basketball, that the players treat it

448
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: like it's taking out the trash day. You know how

449
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: you got to take the trash out and want to

450
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: take he wants to take the trash out, but it's

451
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. You know, if trash fills up,

452
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: you don't want a bunch of vermin in your home,

453
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: so you throw the trash out. And it shows in

454
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: the product like it does. I have it on in

455
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: the background. I was watching the Knick Celtics game, and

456
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: I saw the Warriors game after that, and at least

457
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: the first half, and it shows in the product where

458
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: you can tell as a fan the players don't really

459
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: seem like they want to be there. They like playing

460
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: grab ass with the other players and all that. They

461
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: don't really want to play in the regular season game.

462
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything other than we're getting eight million

463
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: dollars a game or some ridiculous thing like that. All right, now,

464
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: more of Michael Jordan audio from NBC. So, Michael Jordan

465
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: was asked if the players of today's version of basketball

466
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: have the mindset to achieve greatness, which is a so

467
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: we call a low hanging fruit question. That is a

468
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: t ball question for Michael Jordan's Again, Jordan asked by

469
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: Mike de Rico if the players of the modern NBA

470
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: have the mindset to achieve greatness. Let's go to the

471
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: audio tape.

472
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: It's hard to be hungry when you have, as simple

473
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 5: as that. I mean, if you don't have, you are

474
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 5: willing to do whatever you have. So my mental approach

475
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 5: was going do my job, be the best basketball player

476
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 5: I can be, and all the chips and everything outside

477
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: of that. I have people that were handling that, you know,

478
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 5: but basketball courte I'm handling it right. And now it's

479
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 5: like it's a prerequisite. You know, everybody has to have

480
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 5: a logo. Everybody has to have a you know why right, Well,

481
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I'm part of the reason why every

482
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: part of the round to get a logo.

483
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: But brand right, brand right, Bran Jordan.

484
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 5: But the thing is is that that brand established based

485
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 5: on what I did on the basketball court. You know,

486
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 5: I didn't put the brand before I put the work.

487
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 5: You know, I put the work first, and then the

488
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 5: brand evolved based on the work.

489
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Right there you go, all right, So that's Michael Jordan

490
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: on the athlete today. So the question what do you

491
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: take away from that Michael Jordan's comments about that today's

492
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: basketball players in the NBA wanting the logo right away,

493
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: right away. So I took away the C word, not

494
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: that sea word coddled, That's what I took over Jordan's

495
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: like these guys are coddled and air Jordan nothing but

496
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: net on this one. I also relate to this because

497
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: the management. I really want to thank the company. They

498
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: have decided they want to keep me hungry. They don't

499
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: want to pay me co Hed money or Dan Patrick money,

500
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: or they just want me to really still have that

501
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: fire in my belly. And I thank them for that.

502
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: And so just keeping it real and it does mean something.

503
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: But the way I look at this, the goat, the

504
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: real goat, not Lebron James, please. The goat basically said

505
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: that the modern basketball player wants the logo before the

506
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: legacy and the brand before the blood, sweat and tears,

507
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: and coming from Michael Jordan. Who's got that cachet, right,

508
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: the guy who's silhouette, Michael Jordan. You realize his silhouette,

509
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: that shot of him from the slam Dunk contest extended

510
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: out that logo of Michael Jordan. The silhouette of Michael

511
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: Jordan has essentially replaced the Church steeple in American sporting culture.

512
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: It is great and it says something. But this is

513
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: a belly whopper. I wrote on my scorecard, belly whopper.

514
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: A full belly makes a dull brain does. And so

515
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: these guys are born into and once you're determined to

516
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: be a prodigy, from the time you're about what ten

517
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: years old, Oh man, you're good to go. And it's

518
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: like a decade of having your ass kissed and nil

519
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: deals now and sneaker deals and documentary crews following your

520
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: journey to the NBA off court production companies all that stuff,

521
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: and there was a point where you had to earn it.

522
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: You had to outwork the horse. Right, That was the

523
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: old line, had at work the horse. Now you don't

524
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: have to outwork the horse. There is no horse, of course,

525
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: of course, of course. And get all the goodies, all

526
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: the goodies, all the perks, right and all that, and

527
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: just have to make sure that you use the right

528
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: filter on your Instagram story and you're good to go.

529
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 5: Now.

530
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: The NBA is one giant tech incubator in sneakers, that's

531
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: what's And the league is drowning in the abundance of

532
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: caution culture, which is another issue with love of the

533
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: game and all that. I feel like that's the unofficial slogan.

534
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: Is anything I'm wrong on that the unofficial strogn of

535
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: the NBA is out of an abundance of caution? Like

536
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: this is the modern NBA. You stub your toe, don't

537
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: rub some dirt on it, miss the game? Come on,

538
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: gotta rest back to back?

539
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 5: Come on?

540
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: What do we are? We we some kind of a

541
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: wild uh DRACONI in Neanderthal world? You can't play back?

542
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: Do you think that a modern athlete can play back

543
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: to back? What is wrong with you. For the love

544
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: of God, we cannot expect our athletic heroes to play

545
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: back to back. Do you work back to back days?

546
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't work back Oh that's right, I do work

547
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: back to back days. Oh okay, you work, but you

00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: work two days. Really you have a second job? Is

549
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: that right? Oh my god? Oh oh my? Uh so

550
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: load management National TV A big game Island game. Now

551
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: the algorithm says you should not play. The algorithm says

552
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: do not play. Okay, just chill out. Everyone is so

553
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: warped in this bubble rap that it got more bubble

554
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: rap on these basketball players than Amazon spends buying bubble

555
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: wrap for the packages they send out. And it's the

556
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: bare minimum optics is what it is. Bare minimals, Like

557
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: just do the bare minimum, check the contract compliance box.

558
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: If you're an NBA star, Like you're clocking in at

559
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: a cubicle on a nine to five. And so Jordan's

560
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: telling you, He's like, listen, today's players want the logo

561
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: before they've earned the lore. And it is true. As

562
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: someone that lived in a world before Michael Jordan was

563
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: a superstar in the NBA, it happened coincided there was

564
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: a famous commercial with Spike Lee. How about Spikey. Isn't

565
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 1: Spike Lee almost seventy He's still fan boying it up

566
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: at the Knicks games. Isn't that great? I saw him

567
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: on the TV? Anyway, There was a Spike Lee Michael

568
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: Jordan commercial that kind of took that thing to the

569
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: next level back in the day. But Jordan's He's telling you,

570
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: it's like, listen, these guys, this is what they want.

571
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: This is the world we were in, which is really

572
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: fresh from and considering it's his business model that everyone

573
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: wants to mimic, right, It's the Jordan model that everyone wants.

574
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: It's not his love of the game, it's the love

575
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: of the Chiching, Chiching, Chiching chi Ching. The brand extension

576
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: is what it is. And the product, of course, the

577
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: NBA product right now is as bad as it's ever

578
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: been in my life. A diluted like cheap Gatorade powder.

579
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: There was a point the NBA was really bad in

580
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: the nineties, I remember, because they had Mike Fittello was

581
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: coaching the Cleveland Cadavers and pat Riley was coaching the Knickerbockers,

582
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: and it was slowed down. It was really boring, dull basketball.

583
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: But at least the players were playing now not so

584
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: much all right now, final point, speaking of that, to

585
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: la la land we go where Lebron James, who's looking

586
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: up at the goat Michael Jordan wishing he was Michael Jordan.

587
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: So Lebron James extended his double digit scoring streak to

588
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: two and ninety seven games. He did this the other

589
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: night in a cloud of controversy. Uh yeah, So the

590
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: Lakers were blown out by the Phoenix Suns thunder Dan

591
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: Marley with a couple of hammer dunks there for the Sons.

592
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: It was it was wild how good they were. And

593
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: my god, did they had. Mary Stottammeier had a big

594
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: day there, and just a really good team there for

595
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. Anyway, Lebron he was playing in garbage

596
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: time with a bunch of backups when he reached the

597
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: ten point marker, and that had a lot of people

598
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: raising their eyebrows saying like, what are you doing, dude?

599
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: Let it die, Let it die, Let it die, let

600
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: it die, let it die. All right, So question Lebron

601
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: James being accused of catering to his legacy stat padding.

602
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: Lebron James to get to ten points to continue that

603
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: streak of double digit games. Is this accusation against Lebron

604
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: James inbo or out of bounds? That's the question. So

605
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: we went to a booth review on this and expedited

606
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: booth review and we determined its inbounds. Inbounds now as

607
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: inbounds as oxygen being required for human beings to survive,

608
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: you need oxygen, very important. You have oxygen. If you

609
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: don't have oxygen, you got problems. We don't even know

610
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: why anyone would be pretending that this is not what

611
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: it's being described as unless you are so far up

612
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: Lebron's took us you can't see any sunlight. Okay, that

613
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: might be the case, but Lebron is an full on

614
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: in this game, was full on legacy maintenance mode. That's

615
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: what Lebron was doing. And he's out there polishing his

616
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: resume like he's working part time at Zales and he's

617
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: dealing with the jewelry. At the end of the day,

618
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: Lebron trying to get that new endorsement deal with Fredo

619
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: lay Now you might have heard back in the day

620
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: of the Frito Bandito. Well, Lebron's like, what about the

621
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: statistical Bendito. That's me Lebron James guys stealing hollow numbers,

622
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: hollow numbers like he's running a smash and grab operation

623
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: in the box score. Now junk stats, a lot of

624
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: junk stats, garbage time, compost and this goes on all

625
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: the time, and we try to call it every time

626
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: we see it. We pointed out some of the great

627
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: examples of this are Russell Westbrook with the most bogus

628
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: triple double season of all time. If you go back,

629
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: there's some videos there. Russ was doing cosplay and I

630
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: think it was twenty seventeen. I want to say, I

631
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: think that's about right. Remember him boxing out. The videos

632
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: were great on YouTube. He was with OKC. He was

633
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: literally Russell Westbrook was boxing out his own teammates to

634
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: get rebounds. He was boxing out his own teammates. Hey, hey,

635
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: numb nuts, you're on the same team. And then there

636
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: was a there were some videos of the bigs on

637
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: okay see at the time who were literally trying to

638
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: get out of the way so Westbrook could get the

639
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: bogus triple double stats. It was hilarious. And the thing

640
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: about this is that we remember it in the moment.

641
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: But when people go back and look at the Wikipedia

642
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: pages of these guys, the next group of fans, they

643
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: don't realize this. They're not smart enough to do the

644
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: research on that, nor do they have the time that

645
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: that's a bogus record. This is a bogus record and

646
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So it's not just basketball. It goes

647
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: on in all the other sports as well. Remember Josh Allen,

648
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen checked in. It was a week eighteen game.

649
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: I believe they were playing the Patriots. The Bills were

650
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: playing the Patriots. He played one play, if I remember correctly,

651
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, so his iron Man streak would continue one play,

652
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Keep it alive, Keep it alive. Okay, there you go,

653
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: the stat padding. Marching band applauds that they play the

654
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: music and all that. It's just absolutely great. So Lebron

655
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: hit the ten point mark with about seven minutes to

656
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: go in the game. The Lakers were down by twenty

657
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: five points. He got then yes, like a bad karaoke singer.

658
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: A moment later they took him out there. Those are

659
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: not meaningful stats. Those are what we call vanity calories.

660
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: Those are empty carbs. That's what that is. And yet

661
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: when Lebron, when Lebron's long gone from playing in the NBA,

662
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: and they look at that stat, the casuals, the low

663
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: information fantals, you look at that record, they're not gonna

664
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: remember Lebron's stat. Padded that and was playing in garbage

665
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: time to try to get to ten points. He really

666
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: has shown his age this season. Lakers have a really

667
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: good record, but he has shown his age. So it's

668
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: a Fugazi situation.

669
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 5: Now.

670
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: At least Lebron did not reach the level of the

671
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: single greatest, the single greatest stat padding moment in the

672
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: history of my career in talk radio. It happened over

673
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, one of the great moments. I'm not

674
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: making this up. It sounds like I'm making this up.

675
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean so, one of Lebron's teammates, a guy named

676
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Ricky Davis. Ricky Davis needed one more rebound to get

677
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: a triple double. So what did Ricky Davis do? Time

678
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: is running out, Ricky Davis decided to shoot a basket

679
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: at his own basket of course, to miss it to

680
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: get the rebound. And David sir, they had a commission

681
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: with balls and hair on his chest at the time,

682
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: and David Stuarts said, that's not gonna count. Sorry, we're

683
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: not counting that now. Adam Silver, Today's commissioner, he probably

684
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: would have called it creative stat expression.

685
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 8: We must let our players express themselves. And even though

686
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 8: it's just a dirty play, we're going to allow it

687
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 8: because it's creative static expression. That's Adam Silver's NBA and

688
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 8: that's the product that's not very good right now.

689
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: It's all part of the Lebron This story is part

690
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: of the Lebron experience and not the good part.

694
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: That was way back in seven to the third degree.

695
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 2: This is one big event.

696
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: Gets grilled cup.

697
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 10: For the first time in his thirteen year NFL career.

698
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 10: Russell Wilson was a healthy scratch. With Jameis Winston as

699
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 10: the number two quarterback, the Giants decided to make Russell

700
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 10: Wilson inactive from Monday Night Football. Ben, Do you think

701
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 10: Wilson hangs it up at the end of the year.

702
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: No, No, He's going to go somewhere. He'll be a

703
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: training camp arm somewhere, and he's going to try to

704
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: continue his career. There's a supply chain shortage of quarterbacks there,

705
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: so he'll someone will give him a chance to try

706
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: to make a team next year. He's sucked for how

707
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: many teams, now the Broncos, He wasn't good at the NFAC,

708
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: at the Broncos, Steelers, and now the Giants. The writing's

709
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: on the wall, Coop. But I say he's going to

710
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: continue as you'll get one more chance next. I'm embarrassing.

711
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 10: I know Brian Schottenheimer warmed the cow warmed his Cowboys

712
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 10: players that just because we've won three games, that doesn't

713
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,479
Speaker 10: change anything. Going on to say that the team can't

714
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 10: grow complacent as they push for a playoffs.

715
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: No, no, Ben, do you.

716
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 10: Think the Cowboys will find themselves in the playoffs?

717
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: Well, they look good. I don't want to be a

718
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: prisoner of them all. I'm still gonna go no at

719
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: this point. Now, I'll change my opinion this should they

720
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: win the Thursday Night get But I'm not convinced. Everyone's

721
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 1: getting all excited because they made some plays against Kansas City,

722
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: which doesn't look like a playoff team right now, and

723
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who are having all kinds of issues so

724
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: you start peeling back those games and they're nice wins,

725
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: but they don't look as nice when you look at

726
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: the internal stuff with the Eagles and Kansas City is

727
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: just not a very good team this year next.

728
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 10: Jets kicker Nick Folk insisted in an interview after the

729
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 10: Jets picked up their third win of the season that

730
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 10: the team is getting better under Aaron Glenn. He also

731
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 10: said that there's a lot of promise for the future

732
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 10: of the organization.

733
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: Ben do you think they have the right guy at

734
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: the helm? Well, I don't know for sure. Obviously, I

735
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: would say this season is a complete waste, and you

736
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: always sell the future. We're gonna be great. If Nick

737
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: Foles came out said this guy can't coach, he blows

738
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: we suck. We're gonna suck for years. Like course, of

739
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: course he's gonna say the futures. But I haven't seen

740
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: evidence that we're going back direction. How do we know how? Guys?

741
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: I hate dog I gotta eat dog me. I got it, Jenny,

752
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,000

753
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 11: and Clay Thompson with the naming of the boat. I

754
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 11: think it's amazing. You know what, they might as well

Speaker 1: I love it. Oh you are right. Well, we have

758
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,759

762
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: Nate the Hammer writes in. He says, I was talking

763
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: to a woman and she said she just wanted to

764
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: be friends. I told her I have enough friends, which

765
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: I do, but she lost it. Was I in the wrong,

766
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: says Nate. This is Nate the Hammer.

767
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, well you were being honest with what you want

768
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 11: from her, and if you don't want her in that

769
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 11: regular position. Then carry on.

770
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: Move onboard, upboarding, onward, far out. Dave says, my lady

771
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: keeps telling me to take take it as a compliment

772
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: when she lets one rip while we're wrestling. I don't

773
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: know how to take it. I figured i'd ask an experts.

774
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, she's trying to say she feels comfortable.

775
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 11: But something about doing that it breaks the romance. You know,

776
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 11: what if you're wrestling and you like, you know, you

777
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 11: want to get closer, and then she rips the one,

778
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 11: You're like, oh, and I want to go in a

779
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 11: completely other room than you, you know.

780
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: And pass out a gas mask or something, just pass out.

781
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says, Hey, today's our forty ninth wedding.

782
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: Everything about that I met congratulations, great man. I met

783
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: him at the meet and greet there in Minnesota says

784
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't need any relationship advice from Lorena. He says

785
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: the four ls make for a long marriage. He says,

786
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: a long marriage a love, laughter, loyalty, and listening to

787
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: each other. So apparently, Lorena, that's the key. The four els.

788
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 11: Love, laughter, loyalty, and listen.

789
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: That's all you need. Let's go to the phones. Bobby

790
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: in Florida, Key Lime Pie, Bobby in Florida for Loraina

791
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: on the Queen ft bbby, Oh yeah, take them a call.

792
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 12: So based on that last message, the listening part kind

793
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 12: of feeds into my question. So you know, I'm dating

794
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 12: this girl. Everything's great, we're madly in love. And so

795
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 12: we get to the point where we're getting a little

796
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 12: intimate and come to find out when she's getting to

797
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 12: the to the top of the mountain, and it sounds

798
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 12: like somebody's beating a bag of puppies with a hammer.

799
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 9: A ball gag, a ballgager.

800
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 12: Do I get myself some here plugs?

801
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 11: You can always shove her face on a pillow too,

802
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 11: that could work.

803
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 12: Okay, might incorporate that.

804
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's a tremendous there.

805
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 11: At least you know you're doing a good job, right.

806
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: Apparently she can get her to the top of the mountain.

807
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 11: Then to keep her at the bottom.

808
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: She might be dying. I'll just go to Rick in Maryland. Hello, Rick,

809
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: Welcome Rick in morning time.

810
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 9: It sounds like he said a little intimate. But anyway,

811
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 9: look at you. I had fort Worth on my mind yesterday.

812
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 9: But look he's listening right now. If he's dealing with

813
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 9: a woman who drive for door dance and she has

814
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 9: time to see him every time doing her route, is

815
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 9: that either love or stalking? Tell him please, he's listening.

816
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: Ooh, I don't know. It sounds like a stage four.

817
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 11: It sounds like she's like, oh I can buy again.

818
00:46:59,080 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 12: Yeah.

819
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 11: No, that's a little weird, but also it could be

820
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 11: a little sweet if you think about it.

821
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: She's putting you know, it's not gonna last though, right,

822
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: that cannot last, that's not.

823
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 11: Maybe she keeps the little trinkets from every door that

824
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 11: she goes to.

825
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: I thought about you on this one. I thought you

826
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,920
