We be 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:10.480 rocking out, so we got to wrap up this Gronk conversation. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.520 But the big news today is Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.039 still in the works. We talked about it first hour. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.959 I want to say again, the more I think about it, 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.880 Jake Paul has no shot. However, everybody has a fighter's chance. 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.960 It's just is it beneath Anthony Joshua. We got to 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.480 see what the money's all about and what happens and 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.480 in the world of fighting Rich, I just got to say, 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.319 shame on everybody for downplaying the significance of Christy Martin 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.520 because no one's going to see that movie. And Sydney 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.800 Sweeney put all her heart and soul into this project 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.640 and nobody cares. And it's a big story. And there's 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.119 a lot of boneheads out there like Rich who were 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.520 downplaying her significance. And I was like, dude, I heard 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.400 of her, Dude, Well that's on you. She was a 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.080 dominant female boxer in the Mike Tyson era, fighting on 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.400 those pay per views and breaking through in female boxing. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.360 Pioneer man, she was the best there was out there, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.240 so I understand it's just her fame didn't transcend. But 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.120 it's like some Wheeler who the fabulous Mulah. Get at him, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.680 Get out of my face, Get out of my face. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.919 That's like saying Pacman wasn't popular because you don't see 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.600 him today, you know what I mean? Like she was 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.280 popular back then, her fame just didn't transcend into the 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.920 day's world. It's like saying Ronda Ralsi wasn't big thirty 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.160 years from now. It's like, yeah, she was, Doug. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.760 Yo, don't you say something so asinine? As Ronda Rausi 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.600 and Christy Martin in the same conversation, I. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.040 Never said Christy Martin's asses a nine, But Sidney Sweeney 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.920 not too shabby? No, I said, Asinine? Oh, Asenine? What 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.480 is that? Just kidding? I'm joking. God, you know, just 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.680 because you're ignorant of her career don't know who she was, 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.600 doesn't make the fact that she was a prominent figure 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.480 in the world of boxing not true. She was guess what, pally. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.240 Her story hasn't really been told, so maybe Sidney Sweeney 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.480 is the person to do it. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.000 But go around the studio. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.480 If I'm the only ass clown, and then call me 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.160 the club. But Sam, Danny g Dan Bayer, were you 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.120 that familiar with the career in life of Christy Martin 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.320 before you found out Sidney Sweeney was doing a movie. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.880 That's like saying, you don't remember Butterbean. Butterbean was a 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:12.320 big deal. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.560 Yeah, I actually do. And I'm not saying this because 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.960 of the Cavino guy. But she was the only female boxer. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.240 She was the only one that anyone cared about, and 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.520 women were like, damn, man, this girl kicks ass. I 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.040 remember the female American Gladiators more well. I remember I 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.200 was a big fan of Blaze myself. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.840 I remember the Glow. I remember the gorgeous ladies of wrestling. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.600 I watched Glow wrestling as. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.280 You also the biggest bonehead here. You are making fun 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.960 of Gronkowski. You you think that just anything that you 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.480 know is fact, and that's it. Anything that happened before 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.200 you or your knowledge didn't count or never happened. That 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.680 doesn't make it true. That's a good point, but that 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.480 doesn't make it true. So anyway, that's also a big 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.760 story that Rich and I were fighting about on our 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.440 Patreon early today. But since boxing's in the news with 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.000 Anthony Joshua, wanted to bring that up. Iowa, Sam, what's up? 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.600 I have three takes must make I'm just champion at 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.320 the bit here, I only knew about butter Bean through Jackass. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.680 Gotta be honest, he was guessing you're also a little younger, Sam, Yeah, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:12.040 you're in your thirties. Dude, apparently done almost done with that. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.400 And then also you said the Asac joke. That's I 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.239 think that's an old Jeff fox Worth the Blue Collar 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.839 Comedy tour? Are you calling me a Carlos smithcia? I 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.279 just remember him saying a foreigner. Now, I don't know, 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.920 I don't follow blue collar comedy. This is an old 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.200 joke from that tour. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.080 But I want to say that I read an article 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.600 about this movie that this the company that was in 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.480 charge of distributing and kind of promoting it just did 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.719 not do a good job of letting people know hello. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.000 And she was part of a giant controversy with the 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.279 stupid genie, so that overshadowed it. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.680 Also, the company that was supposed to advertise it and 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.200 promote it did not do a great job. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.920 And uh, let me let me ask you this. I 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.080 said this to Rich, I said, what Jake Lamatta everyone 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.960 was so well versed in Jake Lamada. No, but Raging 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.000 Bow was still a great movie, you know, and Robert 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.080 de Niro is in it. A good movie is gonna 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.720 be a good movie. Maybe it's not that good of 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.880 a movie. I don't know, but her story and her 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.400 legitimacy in boxing should not be under line. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.479 And also one more thing, you guys, I only knew 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.640 about her because you guys had been tipped off that 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:16.920 she was going to be in this movie. It was 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.240 in the works, and so we started talking about her. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.440 I didn't know who she was, but I also didn't 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.240 know who like the guy in Cinderella Man was, And 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:24.000 that's a great movie. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.120 James, I said to me, Broaderick, what's James? Uh? What 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.040 the hell's his name? He did the he built the 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.360 Goffels Bridge. Why am I trying? Oh, Matthew Broderick, No, James, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.680 that hell's his name? James Braddock. James Braddock. Yeah. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.159 And so like, you don't have to know about these 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.240 people j brad from the history books. But if you, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.200 if a movie tells you about it, that's the whole 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:44.680 point of the movie. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.080 Yeah, Rich is like Rich's stances. Nobody knows her. What 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.560 do you know about Jake Lamata? What did you know 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:55.000 about James J. Braddick? Nothing, absolutely nothing. So that's not it. 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.880 It's bad publicity, and it's the fact that she got 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.920 bad press and no one promoted this enough. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.240 Hey, bang your head against the wall and maybe you'll 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.200 clear up some of those coblips or something that's going on. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.160 Because I said to you earlier today, I'll say it again. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.760 If this movie was on Netflix, you know HBO max 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.440 If who was on Prime. It's a great like, oh, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.960 documentary about a female boxer. I might not know that 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.320 much about, Oh, Sidney Sweeney and those you know her speedbags. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.920 I'm watching, you said, you said because nobody knows Christy Martin, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.000 because you actually what you said, because you don't know 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.520 Christy Martin. You and you think you're the b all 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.760 end All because you didn't know her. That's why nobody cares. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.520 And I'm telling you I watched a movie about Frankenstein 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.960 last night. You think I care about Frankenstein? Since when 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.320 is that the reason you watch something? What do you 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.159 watch about Frankenstin? There's so many good shows on you. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.880 There's new movie on Netflix. It's actually pretty good.

Yeah, I think so. 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.479 It's really good. Yeah, but I'll tell you what, I 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.200 don't want to harp too much on it because we 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.240 still got to talk Gronkowski and our guy Mike is here. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.720 Our guy Mike is here.

Dan was the 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:55.160 quickest to shoot. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.319 That does not surprise absolutely does not surprise me at all. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.600 There's a long history there, so that's why he did 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:03.280 not hesitate. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.520 You guys, walk in all new and stuff, and I 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.679 like that he must be the guy that runs things. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.920 And I blame both of you actually for for perpetuating 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.480 this lie. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.880 It's become a thing. Dan, I refuse to dignify. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.240 I have that with the response. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.200 You know, I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with the 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.720 story for all right. So the number is eight seven 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.160 seven ninety nine on Fox. If you think you could 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.760 repeat that verbatim, if you want a chance to win 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.440 a nerve football, it's a great stocking stuffer your chance 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.280 to win right now? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.960 It's Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.200 No cove, you're gonna be watching tonight. A big test 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.160 for the Lakers. Let's talk a little NBA Lakers, Okase, 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.440 I know it's early, Lebron's not even back yet, but 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.840 is this a Is this a great early season litmus 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.320 test for Danny G's Lakers. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.839 I think the answer is obvious. Yes, yeah, absolutely, See 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.920 where they stand, See how good they play against the 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.360 former champs. I mean absolutely, Like we talked about before 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.400 with Jake Paul, if he could beat even contend with 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.120 an Anthony Joshua, it puts you in a different level 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.600 so you could play hard and lose, but still I 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.200 think moral victories at this stage of the season do 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.480 mean something. I think if you can compete and you 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.920 could build some confidence off this game tonight, you don't 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.880 even have the whole team together, you could play good 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:29.400 against the Thunder. Yeah, it says a lot. You know. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.040 It's interesting because remember when the Nuggets won a couple 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.920 of years ago, and we were all very much on 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.560 board with Man, the Nuggets look like they could win 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:38.400 a few in a row. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.560 They seemed pretty unstoppable. Yeah, they're eight and two now. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.000 I mean, anytime you'll Kiches on the team, you're gonna 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.920 compete at a high level. Much like any sport, not 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.360 easy to repeat, which is why the Dodgers got so 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.319 much credit this year running it back and find in 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.200 a way to win in seven games. Right, are you 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.080 looking at an OKAYC team that's eleven and one sort 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.640 of picking up with the left off. 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.880 They're so young too. That's the thing that they're young 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:03.600 and fresh and. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.000 Say eleven it's youth and chemistry. Man, they got it all. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.040 I mean, you gotta say, the biggest obstacles could could 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:15.080 be if Wemby Fox and the Spurs really click, or 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.280 if Denver finds their way back there or Danny g 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.439 I would imagine your Lakers of the other team you 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.800 would argue in the West, that could give them problems. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.720 So what are you expecting tonight? 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.360 You know, finally, I shouldn't say finally because he just 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.280 missed three games, but Austin reeves back from the groin injury. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.080 So we get the dynamic duo, the new dynamic duo. 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.520 They're the only two dudes together scoring thirty plus points 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.760 this season so. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.640 Far, and they look like they're having fun doing it 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.280 a lot of yeah, a lot of fun. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.600 You saw them inspecting the court to see him through 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.040 the longest bucket in one of them was like almost 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.240 a full court shot. And yeah, they're having fun doing this. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.600 And then the question remains, and we talked about this 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.520 a little bit last week. How is the chemistry gonna 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.480 work when bron comes back onto the court. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.200 You know, I emphasize morale and clubhouse guys and locker 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.320 room guys, probably too much because I feel like, just 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:09.880 when I. 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.480 You're a guy. You know the reason we have fun 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.520 at Fox, and I think the reason we do well. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.640 And we took this to afternoons. There wasn't room for 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.080 Cavino and Rich. We made room here on Fox Sports 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.320 Radio because we were having so much fun. And I 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.040 think that only happened because of the vibe and the 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.240 people we work with, and that brings out the best 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.440 in you. You're a vibe. If there's someone here, let's 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.079 say Iowa Sam is sick, and someone else that we 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.880 don't know that well is in right, the ViBe's a 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.920 little different. And Rich is a vibe guy. And that's 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.000 how it works sometimes, not only in broadcasting, but at 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.000 the office and. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.040 On the court, when I play even Rex Sports, Yeah, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.559 I'm a vibe guy. So when I see the Lakers 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.880 and Reeves and Luca looking like they're really enjoying each 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.560 other's company, and when a team looks like they're having fun, 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.680 I know that that sounds like, oh, Rich, that's just 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.319 one layer of it. But I feel like that's a 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.040 very important layer. Many teams, you hear so many teams 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.920 that go further talk about that intangible like, yo, we 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.199 actually like each other. We eat together on the road, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.160 our wives hang out like we we just enjoy each other. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.680 And I've always been a big fan of like There's 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.880 a reason why we push to have Io Sam come 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.520 with us when we do mornings filling in for Dan 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.320 and Danny g. We want to make sure he was 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.840 part of it. We wanted to make sure Spot came 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.720 with us wherever we went because we've worked with him 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.960 for years. I think creating that atmosphere is the only 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.040 way to beat I'm being serious, the only way to 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.000 beat Oklahoma City with that young team that just seems 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:41.720 so talented. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.960 It's gonna have to be a team that's just clicking 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:49.320 and has that clicking and his trust in each other, right, Because. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.880 I don't think you're gonna out talent and out hustle 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.560 the Oklahoma City Thunder. They're too young and good and they, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.680 if anything, they got better from last year. 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.600 They're eleven and one. This team could for all we know, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:14:58.920 they can. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.120 They can make a little run top three record of 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.560 all time in NBA regular season history. They don't look 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.800 like they want to ever lose, So to beat them, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.280 talent is gonna have to be just a layer of it. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:10.960 It's gonna have to be camaraderie and teammates. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.640 So I'll root for that tonight. I'm stoked to see 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.840 the Lakers compete and look, it's Wednesday night. I'm sitting 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.400 home watching Frankenstein. So if you got nothing else to watch, 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.600 if you're not watching this, then we're to hell you. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:23.880 Ah yeah, Enrich. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.920 The other guy who has great chemistry with this current 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.720 crew is DeAndre Ayton, and there were a lot of 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.920 question marks about him joining the team because he's had 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.200 some ups, a lot of downs in the NBA so far, 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.240 lack of effort that fingers usually pointed at him. But 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.760 he seems to be loving playing with Luca. Luca is 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.160 special when he gets around bigs with the alley oops, 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.320 the nice passes. I mean, don't forget that. Not only 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.280 is Luca an elite scorer, but his rebounds and assists 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:53.240 are off the hook right now. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.960 Bro, you know it's so understated, and I get it. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.640 Talent's gonna Talent is the most important thing, don't get 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.360 me wrong. But can you know, think about at the 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.960 workplace when you're playing rex sports, anything you do, a 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.120 family gathering you've talked about, like, you know, you go 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.240 meet some new girls family and if there's like no 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.080 music playing, you're hearing the knives and forks on the plate. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.440 You're like Oh my god, I don't want to hang 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.040 with these people. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.400 It's just speaking of music, you could have a room 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.040 of the greatest musicians. If they're not vibing, they're not 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.800 making any hits. Yeah, right, So I just I just 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:26.240 look at it. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.400 I'm very curious to see how Lebron clicks when he 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.120 comes back with this team that seems like between eight 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.120 and Luca and Reeves, they actually seem like they're having 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.800 fun together. If Lebron could bring that smile and that 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.240 you know, goat mentality that he's one of the best 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.320 ever to that team and work with them, Lakers could 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.520 be dangerous. I really think that way, because we've all 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.760 seen that coworker that's talented, you know. But if they're 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.760 like not cool to be around, or they're not vibing 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.560 with everyone, it doesn't matter how good they are. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.720 They're they're they're killing it. Bronnie jameson tonight, Danny g 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.280 not that I know, no, right, he's still out. That's 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.080 kind of weak, all right. So I think we got 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:13.240 some contestants, maybe got a winner Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.000 Let's start with Dave in Missouri.
