WEBVTT 1 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.800 Good evening everybody, and welcome to Fire Up. Are we excited or what? 2 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.719 Yes, I'm fired out to be on with two of my favorite people. 3 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.320 We have a special guest, Miss Jen, is here in the broadcast 4 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.119 with us. She is Mike, one of my girls from Tuesday Nights from 5 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:50.560 Chicks and Salsa. Welcome Jen. I'm happy to have two of my glots 6 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.399 with me. Now, if we could just get Megan and Carry on board, 7 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.200 it would be a full score. It's been hard to get all four 8 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.159 of us on one show on our time. It's not much less any other 9 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.879 time slot lately. Well, my co hosts Smoking Jeremy B. How you 10 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:15.120 doing any day I wake up is good despite how I feel, I hear 11 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.079 you especially lately. Yes, it has been quite the week. You know. 12 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:26.239 Whenever we have a Monday off Memorial Day, we just shoot five days 13 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.159 of work and a four day work week, and so it makes it just 14 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.760 that much more. And I'm going to do my midiar review because tomorrow morning, 15 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.760 because it's due by end of day tomorrow. Wow. Wow, So 16 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.000 we already. I just want to get like two things completed before I submit. 17 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.560 So, so we do have some people in the chat room already James 18 00:01:52.560 --> 00:02:04.000 Burgess's through five innings for the Tigers today. No, Joshua, door smoking, 19 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.560 Jay, Good to see you back on SFT. And then of course 20 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:14.120 asking if there's to be any hockey on the show today. I haven't figured 21 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.520 out how to scream it into the split screen on the corner, so I 22 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:24.080 don't. I'll say this boo Rangers. And then question for Jen did you 23 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:30.280 get a new computer? No, sir, but I let it completely die, 24 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.719 so I went and fade out. Do you need to get more memory? 25 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.759 Though? Hey JB finally able to watch a show live. Much love, 26 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.840 Thanks Jay r X Jay, and congratulations to you. I'm being a 27 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:52.639 part of Detroit Fan Report talking about the Lions. Congratulations sir, Joshua. 28 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.199 Hello is this thing? Yes, Joshua, we are here. We are 29 00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.800 here, Candy and the MotorCity mad Mo spot. You recognized I moved into 30 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.400 the studio tonight. You got it? Yep, Joshua, I know you're 31 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.159 watching hockey right now. I actually have it on in the background. Yes, 32 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.960 the Panthers are tied zero zero in the first so and look who joined 33 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:29.280 us? Hello William son of Ralph William. Can I answer a question? 34 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:35.960 Address a question Rocket Scientist asked show Rocket Scientists, believe you asked me what 35 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:47.840 I thought of neuralink honestly with a I and with like Google Voice and Alexa. 36 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.719 No, there's no need for neuralink because they already know everything we're freaking 37 00:03:52.759 --> 00:04:00.759 thinking anyway. So so Rocket Scientists thinks I should be in the studio and 38 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:10.080 Scott out on the A from now on. I don't think that's gonna happen, 39 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.199 but you know. And then well, my three favorite people, oh, 40 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:19.279 thanks, will thanks get We like you too, we do. And 41 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:26.600 then he says, Jenny will keep promising that and never text me anymore. 42 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.160 I'm going to start singing, well, well, lonely hearts do oh oh 43 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.240 oh no, okay, well, you know what, We're going to start 44 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:40.759 the show out, and I'm going to let Jeremy start because he has a 45 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.120 topic that he wants to talk about. Tuesday night, while I was bored 46 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.439 and after inside the Pig Skin, I saw Ian Rapaport go live on threads 47 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:56.480 and Instagram and he started talking about the upcoming CBA for twenty twenty six that's 48 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.399 coming up because you know, they start working that stuff out between the NFLPA 49 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.839 and the NFL headquarters now instead of waiting for the last minute. That way 50 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.079 the owners can get their say and make their changes and everything can get right 51 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.920 by twenty twenty six, so we don't end up with a strike issue like 52 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.759 you had back in what was that the late eighties early nineties. So on 53 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:27.240 the slate, they're talking about doing away with OTAs completely and just doing a 54 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.399 ramp up of training camp from June to the start of preseason in the second 55 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.319 or third week of August, because there's only going to be two preseason games 56 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:43.279 that then they're going to have eighteen games instead of seventeen games, which I 57 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.839 like and I don't like at the same time. But there's another reason for 58 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:50.079 that. But with the preseason games costing just as much as your regular season 59 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.279 games, it really doesn't matter how many you have when it comes to the 60 00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.839 cost of going to see What it does matter is the TV money and the 61 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.040 viewer and the Nelson ratings for the games, because the Nelson ratings are way 62 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.639 lower for the preseason games than they are for any regular season game on the 63 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.360 market. So that's going to be more revenue, which could equal to more 64 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.319 caps. But they said the reason why they want to do is do away 65 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:26.800 with the OTAs, is to produce injuries in the off season. And I'm 66 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.759 sitting there, I'm going, okay, so wait a minute. They took 67 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.360 away two A days, they took away this, they took away that already, 68 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.800 they shortened the off season already, and they shortened the preseason. And 69 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:42.399 ever since they did that back in twenty nineteen, we have seen thirty three 70 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:48.360 percent increase in regular season games of top fifty injuries. Yeah, so I 71 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.439 think this is going to come back to bite the whole NFL right in the 72 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.040 butt doing that, and they'll bring back OTAs on the next CBA or some 73 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.800 type of early workouts, because Number one, the vet OTA that they do 74 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.600 prior to the draft is just so the players can get comfortable with each other, 75 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.319 reconnect, have their moment, and it's more about working out than it 76 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.079 actually is practice. It's just a little four day mini camp. Then you 77 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.519 got the draft, and then after that you usually have the second year guys 78 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.600 and all of your udfas and rookies you drafted meet up see who's gonna make 79 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.720 that cut for the ninety man roster for going into training camps, and the 80 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.759 OTA is coming up that way, you got your roster set, you know 81 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.639 who you have and all of that. There is really not a lot of 82 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:42.959 playbook time right there for these rookies. It's just the sophomore guys come in 83 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.199 and say, Hey, this is how we do it here. This is 84 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.600 what you're gonna do. This is how we work out. That's what that 85 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:56.000 little four day camp is. I don't understand getting away from doing some of 86 00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.879 these these preseason things, ways to gel and ways to get your body into 87 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.279 the right frame of mind and gear. Like you said, injuries are up 88 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.920 thirty three percent, and this is partly why. And it does not surprise 89 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.480 me. I mean, you're talking there's more obliques, there's more torn packs, 90 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.720 torn biceps. That's all soft tissue injuries. That's muscular. That's not 91 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.439 because they were hit, that's not because of contact ACL, PCL, MCLs 92 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:33.480 lcl's, achilles tendons, calf strains, ham strings. All these things are 93 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.799 happening in the regular season more than they are in the off season. It 94 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.440 in the rare instance that somebody has a bad type of hit. You may 95 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.320 hear about an injury in the off season, but there's no compact until like 96 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.679 the last two weeks of training camp. Anyways, you hardly ever hear of 97 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.320 it anymore. And what about the practices, Now, that's what they were 98 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.759 talking about doing. Instead of doing the two or three three season games, 99 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.879 you're gonna have your two preseason games, but you're also gonna have two joint 100 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:11.639 practices during the training camp. And I like that idea because that's gonna be 101 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.879 the equivalent of like having four preseason games, and that might get the guys 102 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.919 a little more game ready for the start of the season than the way they 103 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.279 got it now just doing joint practices during the preseason. But they're gonna do 104 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.559 two prior and one during. But I think, well, I think one 105 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:35.759 thing they should address is getting order to turf. Oh, they have to 106 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.879 address that. If you do have turf, you have to address the fact 107 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.639 you've got to have proper drainage because the problem is moisture and humidity causes moisture. 108 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.039 And as long as you're outdoors and you have turf in a southern market 109 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.320 with humidity, that means that stuff is a nice skating rink. Ding ding 110 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.759 ding ding, ding ding ding ding ding and more injuries and and then up 111 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:09.039 north like at MetLife stadium. You're getting more injuries, especially in the winner, 112 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.039 but you also get a little more you know, moisture too because you're 113 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:20.200 on the Atlantic Ocean. Frolling tins and purposes. Yeah, you're gonna have 114 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.440 you, right, And I don't know what their turf is, like, 115 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.559 I know when I've seen our turf, it's like I've seen better turf in 116 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.519 backyards. Well glad yet And there's one other team that has one of the 117 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.360 worst fields in the league, and nobody talks about it because they say, 118 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.480 oh, they got grass, it's great, But they forkicked Arizona because of 119 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.759 how hot it is outside and the air conditioning is running all the time. 120 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.679 The cement sweats underneath that grass, and that's why it looks like they've been 121 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:58.200 playing in mud mid game sometimes because that's immense sweating and that makes that rolled 122 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.879 up grass that they put outside water and grow it and everything else, and 123 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.440 then they bring it back in. That doesn't work either. I think they 124 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.559 need to do. If they're going to have the cement, they have to 125 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.320 do a layer of soil on top of it. Cushion, yeah, to 126 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:20.600 let the let that soil actually absorb that moisture rather than it going up and 127 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.159 becoming mud because I didn't know they didn't. I don't know. I know 128 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.720 that, but all the grounds out right on top of the cement. I 129 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.639 mean, and I'm with you, Patty, I saw it too, But 130 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.240 I mean because it looked pretty well, at least it looks really pretty for 131 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.120 Super Bowl. But they spent a lot of money to make sure it looked 132 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.799 pretty for Super Bowl, right, and I think they need either that or 133 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.799 they got to use some type of an absorbent carpet matting, you know, 134 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:56.039 like carpet padding underneath it to help absorb that moisture. Arizona and then New 135 00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:03.200 Mexico More College from New Mexico. I under stand a very high level turf, 136 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.039 but maybe it's time to come up with a new type of grass for 137 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:15.559 your arid and mountainous desert regions because you're getting a lot of injuries there. 138 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.279 Because and then when you're talking about the concrete under when these guys fall or 139 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.720 get tackled, they're being tackled on concrete. Right. It's no different than 140 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.120 being in any other dome stadium. You can say what you want and it 141 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.279 looks prettier, but at the end of the game, it doesn't look as 142 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.759 pretty as that slit turf does. Yeah, I mean, but if you 143 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.399 notice, and here's the thing, something must be done, right because Detroit 144 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.000 has actually got large bodies of water around it too. You can say what 145 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.320 you want. There's a lot of humidity because we're a peninsula just like Florida. 146 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.519 It gets just as hot and humid here. You're not hearing about a 147 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.039 lot of those soft tissue reason Detroit anymore. And they do use the slit 148 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.039 turf, so it must have something to do with the amount of padding that 149 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:13.200 they have underneath it to avoid those injuries. Right, That's all I'm saying. 150 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.960 If the other teams that have the domes and use the slit turf could 151 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.440 model it maybe off of whatever the depth of padding they have underneath that slit 152 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:28.480 trt you might see less injuries across the league over yeah, because yeah, 153 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.039 the injuries are serious. Because I remember and I was actually I think I 154 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:39.440 think my panther skies are actually happy when the Lions played on December twenty fourth, 155 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.639 two years ago, and sorry, we took away your playoffs stage chances. 156 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:52.600 We're fighting for our own then, but we Hey Mike email David's tapper 157 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.320 for me, okay, because we need save turf because like here, like 158 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.360 it gets it gets as swampy as it does in Florida, because at least 159 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.720 where you guys are Candy, at least you get enoce breeze. Charlotte, 160 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:15.240 there ain't no breeze, no no, in the middle of the summer. 161 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.720 And it's just like Orlando if you think about it. They get all the 162 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.480 humidity from both oceans there, but they don't have the coastal breezes in the 163 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.039 center of the state. It's the same thing in Orlando. Yeah, right, 164 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.759 it's swampy right like well, and the one thing you guys forget is 165 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.279 that the ground down here is always hot. Like you know, up in 166 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.720 Detroit, it gets colder in the winter, so there's a timeframe for that, 167 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.600 you know, the concrete and all that to get colder down here. 168 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.519 I mean, people think it's cold if it's sixty degrees down here, which 169 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.080 is not cold, but that's what people think. But when you're inland, 170 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.480 like near that Zephyr Hills Lakeland, Orlando area, where they actually do get 171 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.679 a mild cold spell in February late January through early March, where they might 172 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:09.320 see frost in the morning and the orange growers all go nothing about it. 173 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.600 I know I lived down there. That's why I can talk about it. 174 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:20.240 It's crazy. It's such a different dynamic for the weather than anybody here in 175 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:26.919 Michigan has ever experienced. Patty Grimes was going to Arizona. He has seen 176 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.759 it. Mm hmm. Thank god, James, because we do have mixed 177 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.679 company on the show tonight and he was talking about why he stayed, why 178 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.200 he stayed as oc when everyone was like, Oh, what head coaching job 179 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.559 is he gonna get, Where's he gonna go, What's he gonna do? 180 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.240 And he described it today in a in a way that I hadn't heard somebody, 181 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.720 but very intelligently said, I'm not looking just for one contract. If 182 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.440 I'm going to make the leap, I want to make sure there's going to 183 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.879 be a second contract, which means I'm going to be there more than three 184 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.279 or four years. Because let's face it, these NFL owners, they if 185 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.720 you don't produce, now you're gone, and they move on from you because 186 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.679 they have to because it's such a big money. And he's got a family 187 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.679 and he loves it in Detroit, he loves the people. He's working with. 188 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.600 He loves his family, loves the whole thing. Kudos to him because 189 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.799 he probably could have made more money going to a head coaching job, but 190 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.399 it's not always about the job. It's about liking what you do and the 191 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.480 people that you're working with. It is an amazing thing to have Ben Jonson 192 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.720 still here. And if you think about it, if you look across the 193 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.000 league, how many leagues have all three head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive 194 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:57.600 coordinators still together this year? How many teams? There isn't many? Yep. 195 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.759 I mean Kyle scam a hand through Steve Wilkes under the bus after the 196 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:11.279 Super Bowl when I I where I still think to this day he was a 197 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:17.200 scapegoat. Yeah, I mean face of Jeremy. Steve Wilkes is the reason 198 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.640 why they the forty nine ers ended up beating the Detroit Lions and the Kyles. 199 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.519 And I call him Kyle Scamahan for a reason. Both times I agree, 200 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:36.119 and in the Super Bowl they did the exact same thing that he did 201 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.440 when he was the OC of the bail Cants. And yes I call him 202 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.640 the bail Cants because of that game versus the Patriots. I call him that 203 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:47.440 for a lot of other reasons, like I'll say, our our first matchup 204 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.880 with Falcons, chances are they're going to win, but they always day off 205 00:17:52.599 --> 00:18:00.319 halfway through. And when they and honestly, Sheenahan was and when they were 206 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:06.119 talking about him coming to Carolina, I think actually read the room. I 207 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:12.759 think he actually read the room. Because they're like, no, I agree, 208 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:22.200 going to do that and require that there's two training camps between different franchises 209 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.480 doing the joint practices. There should be reps or some type of NFL official 210 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.839 on sight. Yeah, I mean, because we saw what happened when it's 211 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.279 not monitored, and we saw those joint practices where he saw skirmishes that broke 212 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.200 out into bull on brawls between the two teams, and that's not a good 213 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.880 look for the NFL. No, not when you got guys like Rashid Rice 214 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.880 causing accidents, and you got a few years back Henry Ruggs being drunk and 215 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.480 causing a girl to die in an accident. And now you've got guys like 216 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:59.160 Isaiah Bugs not care of having anybody take care of his dogs while he's out 217 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:00.880 of down. One of them had to be put down, and he has 218 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.319 an arrest want for him. So there's all sorts of crazy things going on. 219 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.319 But it's funny how the Kansas City Chiefs are slowly turning into the old 220 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:21.160 Oakland Raiders. Who would have thought that? I mean, they have bug 221 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.000 plays for is the reason why I said it. That's two people with major 222 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:30.759 problems. Well, and here's the thing. Part of preseason is just show 223 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.319 off the players you already know you're gonna cut so they can get a shot 224 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:41.240 with one of the other thirty one teams out there. That's a big part 225 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.599 of why we have that, and that's important. It's also important to get 226 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:52.319 the guys the Brookies used to playing in front of a crowd. And yeah, 227 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.799 the preseason tickets are less expensive, no doubt about it. But honestly, 228 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:04.359 like sometimes I'll gladly give my dad, will gladly give a family preseason 229 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.240 tickets if they can't afford to go to a regular season game, because, 230 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.599 honestly, and Charlotte in August, it's too hot to sit up there. 231 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:19.079 It's just too hot. It is preseason, So I'm sorry, I would 232 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.799 rather sit in my conditioned house and watch it. And I know that makes 233 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.440 me a fan, but you know what, it also makes me aware of 234 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:32.680 my health because mama ain't getting dehydrated for a damn preseason game. Give me 235 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.000 Sunday night, Sunday and I'm right there, and I'll get dehydrated for regular 236 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.200 season game. But no, at least any that do have season tickets, 237 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:48.480 they don't usually miss games. I'm kind of ashamed of the casual panther fans. 238 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.519 And I'm not saying the bad on the bandwagon ones. I'm talking about 239 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.400 the casual fans that say they're die hard than everything else. Because your guys' 240 00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.839 attendance was so low that one game, you guys had seats offered at for 241 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:06.920 eight cents a piece, and still people didn't buy them. That's atrocious. 242 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:14.480 That does not look good. You wouldn't see that in Green Bay. I 243 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.160 don't think if any way, you're gonna see that in probably thirty of the 244 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:23.759 markets right in the NFL. Now I will I will say about Green Bay. 245 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.599 The interesting thing with them is they used to play part of their season 246 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:34.000 down in Milwaukee, so they still have season ticket holders that were Milwaukee holders, 247 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:41.119 and so they have three to four games each season that are still the 248 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.039 Milwaukee Package or the Gold package for season tickets. And always one or two 249 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.200 of those are a preseason game, so you have different and it's the same 250 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:56.000 fan base, but it's different season ticket holders holding some of those. So 251 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.960 you don't see you see the crowds, I mean, no matter what. 252 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.359 But yeah, part of it is because a season ticket to hold for all 253 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:10.160 of the home games. There are some Milwaukee package So if you ask me 254 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:15.640 about what Ben Johnson's saying, he wants to go to a team that's more 255 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.960 established, that's getting ready to lose a coach that's had long tenure. That 256 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.279 way, it's like a moderation of success. He can come in and he 257 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.440 knows that that Dean stands behind him, and the only one coming up possibly 258 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.599 is the guy that's talked about retirement the last two years, Mike Donlin. 259 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.319 M h. Yeah, that would be the only team. But don't you 260 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.000 think there's a succession plan already in place? There may be, you don't 261 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:48.039 know, but the succession pan plan that we thought was in place ended last 262 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:53.519 year because he went to become the defensive coordinator for Minnesota. That was Brian 263 00:22:53.599 --> 00:23:00.359 Flores. Yeah, m but I don't know, I don't know that that 264 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:04.680 was ever gonna actually be a succession planing personally, and it sucks for him 265 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:12.039 based on the loss of which he rightfully you know, needed to pursue. 266 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.359 But well, the fact that he won that case, if you remember, 267 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.000 that's one of the reasons why that owner got packed and why they didn't have 268 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.319 first round picked the one year and everything else. On top of all that, 269 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:36.480 Brian Flores should get another head coaching job. Steve Wilkes, right, 270 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.119 both of them should. Steve Wilks did a great job in the interim with 271 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.279 the Panthers that year when met Yeah, and he was left out, hung 272 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:51.480 out to Giant Arizona, like he was a Rooney higher and it was obvious 273 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.720 because he was picked up out. He was picked. He was hired after 274 00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.519 the draft, after a free agency. He didn't get a pick his own 275 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:06.119 coaching staff, like I mean, he was. I feel so bad for 276 00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:11.880 a coach Wills because he is a phenomenal stands up man. And I actually 277 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:21.160 think because Tepper didn't hire Wilkes as the head coach, that's why he went 278 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.240 for Frank Reich because Frank was our first quarterback. But Frank only played two 279 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:37.920 games, yes, starting at QB And yeah, I mean, and I 280 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.079 can understand why no one would want to come to the Carolina Panthers after last 281 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.799 year. I mean, hey, there are people calling Ben Johnson up and 282 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.559 saying, don't take this job. It's I mean, they were legit people. 283 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:52.519 I kind of think I know one of the people calling him, but 284 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.799 they have never they have denied it bhemialy to me. But I'm like, 285 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.559 I still I think it was you. I still think it was you and 286 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.279 understand why. And I will never say that person's name. That person has 287 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:12.319 never been on our podcast. I will sometimes with this person, but not 288 00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:19.519 often. So yeah, but I mean with the Athletic Rights an article calling 289 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:27.359 it the Hunger Games in Carolina, there's an issue. Question for smoking Jay 290 00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:33.400 will both have over or under seventy five shows tomorrow. It's under his shows 291 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:38.240 last an hour. It's physically impossible have seventy five shows in a day. 292 00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:42.599 And the question for me is where is Scott right now? Scott is relaxing, 293 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.200 He's he decided for the most well, I shouldn't say that he will 294 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:53.559 take off some Thursday nights. He is actually watching the Panthers Rangers game right 295 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:57.160 now, and I know it's intermission, but yeah, he's watching the game 296 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:06.559 thorough, it is still zero zero there is yeah. See we talked a 297 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.400 little bit of hockey. Okay, guys, I have a question. Have 298 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:18.599 you ever heard of a high school center fielder sprinting home to tag out a 299 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:26.640 runner until you told me no? Agreed with Jeremy, But I love that 300 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.440 drive, I love that dedication and some MLV team needs to be looking at 301 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.759 that person. So normally, when a centerfielder makes a play at the plate 302 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:41.319 and it involves nailing someone with the rocket of a throw. While one Ohio 303 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.559 high school centerfielder used his legs not his arm, to make a highlight reel 304 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:51.759 play. Last week Friday, in a varsity baseball game between Fort Recovery and 305 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:59.960 Mariam Local, Mason Local centerfielder for the Griffin Burns showed previously unseen levels of 306 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:07.720 a hustle on a baseball diamond. It all began when batter Caden Chris's hit 307 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.119 a blooper into the outfield. The ball dropped between the three Marion players, 308 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.160 and Burns eventually scooped it up. Normally, that would be a single, 309 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:21.920 but with a shortstop and second basement, both in shallow center field. After 310 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.119 unsuccessfully trying to catch the ball. Nobody was covering second base, so the 311 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:32.839 runner kept running. The bizarre play set off a chain reaction of uncovered bases. 312 00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.799 The third baseman went to cover second, leaving third base open. Then 313 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:44.880 so the runner started running the third so the base runner kept running, kept 314 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.960 running. Finally, the center fielder took off because he's like, no one's 315 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.240 covering the bases, I'm gonna go towards the runner. He literally ran, 316 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:59.359 beat him home and tagged him out before he could score. Not only is 317 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.160 that amazing, but think about this, there's only probably three or four guys 318 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.319 in the history of Major League baseball that could probably pull that playoff Off the 319 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:15.759 top of my head, Ron Laflore, uh Ricky Henderson, And maybe there 320 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:22.720 there was a time when Jose Conseko wasn't that beult like when he became the 321 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.839 Bass Brothers and he was actually a thirty for thirty guy. That means thirty 322 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.119 stolen bases, thirty home runs, and thirty triples in the same season. 323 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.839 He's one of the one of four players to do that in major league history. 324 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:40.839 So maybe him at that time, before he got so big that he 325 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:44.920 couldn't get his legs to move without banging their knees into each other. Uh 326 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.039 yeah, he probably could have did it. And can you believe that tonight 327 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:59.759 d Backs Gallon exits with a hamstring strain after only throwing six pitches. That's 328 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:07.079 what other professional teams not have chiropractors because if you have your back end line, 329 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:15.240 that reduces the screen on your hamstrings. Now I know chiropracty. Chiropractors 330 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:21.240 have like a very mixed bag of chops, but it actually helps. I 331 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:26.880 mean, I'm gonna say something to rocket scientists and he's not gonna like it. 332 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:32.000 And it's because the old guys that watch hockey are very much fans of 333 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:37.160 the original six teams. You're talking about Boston, New York Rangers, Detroit 334 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:42.839 Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadians, and Toronto Maple LEAs. Was 335 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:48.680 that not the original six? I think so so, as much as I 336 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.119 hate to say it. The old guard, the guys that have been watching 337 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.279 hockey their entire lives, those were the six teams they watched the most. 338 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:02.039 So when they're in the playoffs, they have a tendency to root for those 339 00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:07.079 teams. It's nothing against the Panthers, it's because it's an expansion team. 340 00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.599 That has a lot to do with it. It also has a lot to 341 00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:18.240 do with sometimes as people are in the media and they deal with the PR 342 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:23.160 people from the different teams, they may have a little bias. Let's put 343 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:27.400 it that way, and I'm not gonna call any team out, but sometimes 344 00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:34.640 different PR groups are easier to work with than others. So right, But 345 00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:41.799 with that being said, we always have a segment on the show and it's 346 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.119 called My Town, and that's where you talk about either a town you're living 347 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.680 in now or a town you grew up in and something that's happening in the 348 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:53.440 sports world in that town. So, Jen, I know you, I'm 349 00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.319 kind of putting you on the spot because you've done this once before, but 350 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:02.079 you haven't done it recently. Need a minute to prepare for that, or 351 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:07.039 actually I have one and I'm kind of something I'm really excited about. So 352 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:14.039 one thing that I love about Coach Canalis and Dan Morgan. What you two 353 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.799 may not know, and what a lot of listeners may not know, is 354 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:22.440 that Jerry Richardson did not come up with keep Pounding for our logo. Steve 355 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.440 Mill Sam Mills did. Steve Mills, Sam Mills did and a very impassionate 356 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.559 speech. When he finally joined the middle of a playoff game against the Cowboys, 357 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.599 he told the guys in the locker room, I mean I could quote 358 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.599 the entire speech, but sumthing enough time to keep pounding. That's when he 359 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:44.880 announced that he had cancer and that if he got up, went to treatment 360 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:51.680 every single day, then came to practice and he kept pounding. Then every 361 00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.759 single one of those guys in that locker room should keep pounding. Dan Morgan, 362 00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:02.240 Julius Pepper's, Kevin Green amongst we're all in there. By the way, 363 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.440 two out of three of those names already Hall of famers. Dan Morgan 364 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:14.640 should be just saying, but he Dane was in there. Keep pounding came 365 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.519 from the coaching staff. Keep pounding came from the locker room and the players. 366 00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.880 That is what he marched into the second field second like after halftime. 367 00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:29.079 They marched under the field and that was their call. Keep pounding. Keep 368 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:35.240 pounding is embedded in North and South Carolina and our communities. If you're going 369 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.160 to a tough time, you see keep pounding. If you see a friend 370 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.640 going through a tough time, if you see a stranger on the face who 371 00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:44.400 just looks distressed. You just go up to him be like, hey, 372 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:52.440 keep pounding, keep pounding. And I agree with you, James. But 373 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:57.000 when our team was sold, and I understandably, you know, mister Tepper 374 00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.200 wanted to bring in his own matto. He can't get away from it. 375 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:07.680 It's too embedded. It's Carolina. It's part of Georgia, it is part 376 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:13.960 of Virginia. It is part of California. I saw in California, and 377 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.799 I love that coach Canalis and Dan Morgan are bringing it back, and that 378 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:30.920 is so important to who our identity is. Like Jeremy, you saw when 379 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.079 now we're playing us and in the third quarter, that's the only time they've 380 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.000 done it for the last five years is the third quarter. They would do 381 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:44.759 keep pounding twice. And every single time they do keep pounding, they would 382 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.359 sorry, I'm tired. That's what the southerneast. Every time they would do 383 00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.880 keep pounding, you would see whichever quarterback we had out of the nine we 384 00:33:52.000 --> 00:34:00.519 had for during those past five years, you would see get energized and see 385 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:07.920 defense and offense. So I'm really glad my town and my GM and my 386 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.719 new head coach are bringing that back. Well, you know what I love 387 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:17.760 about Dan Morgan the fact that when he was hired, he looked at Dave 388 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.800 Tucker he goes, keep your hands out of my business. Mm hmmm yeah, 389 00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:29.960 and you know what he has been. It made a huge difference in 390 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.920 your free agency and your draft in my opinion. And David Tepper looks a 391 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:39.519 little more relaxed right because he finally has somebody that had the stones to tell 392 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.239 him to shut that hell up, which is what he needed. And that's 393 00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.519 actually why I went in Steve Wilkes. Also because coach Wilkes had the stones 394 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:58.199 to do it, but it was too late. Wow, until about ten 395 00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:00.960 twelve years ago home break in synjury Ban, but also on day were rampants 396 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:08.840 that he stepped up patrols and got that under control. Really it's interesting. 397 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:14.880 But at the same time, do you want to go first or do you 398 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:20.400 want me to go first? Candy doesn't matter to me? Okay, I 399 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.800 kind of have a two part my Town. One has to do with the 400 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.840 Tigers, and I understand that every Tigers fan that's a loyal fan right now 401 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.519 loves to reach Schoogle, who's in the top five for current cy Young and 402 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:39.880 everything else because he's in the top five statistics across the league. But after 403 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.880 Scott Harris did the interview the other day saying it'll be he doesn't know when 404 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:50.960 they're gonna start actually spending to bring in big talent. The only way we're 405 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.760 gonna fix this roster and be ready within three years is gonna do something that's 406 00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.079 gonna make the Tigers baseball upset, and that's trade to reach true right now 407 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.199 while his value is the highest before he gets into his second contract and get 408 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:09.760 a haul of young talent to come in here. Because our farm system, 409 00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:16.360 while they say it's the top five, it's miles below the top three. 410 00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:22.360 Yeah, our best is twenty fifth, our second best is fifty six, 411 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:30.119 and it goes excrementally down way below the top one hundred baseball prospects. So 412 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:35.239 if you think about that, if we're considered top five with only three guys 413 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.599 in the top one hundred, that's not that good of a farm system. 414 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.199 When you're talking about triple A, double A, single A and there's high 415 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.639 single A and low single A, so that's four different teams. That is 416 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:51.679 your farm system. You could rebuild the whole farm system and be ready in 417 00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.400 four years. With a core that can come up and be solid because I 418 00:36:54.599 --> 00:37:00.079 like our coaching, our assistant coaching as far as hitting and pitching in every 419 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.079 thing else coming up out of the miners better than what we have with aj 420 00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:13.840 HNT right now, I hear you. And the second part is former Pittsburgh 421 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:20.400 Steelers slash Detroit Lions now Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle. I mentioned it already 422 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:25.920 once, Isaiah Bugs, what are you thinking how with the money you have 423 00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:31.599 because you've made millions now not have somebody taken care of your dogs while you're 424 00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:38.159 traveling. Shame on you, sir. You are a pos just like Adam 425 00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:45.440 Sandlers sang about his car. Yeah, you completely agree, because one of 426 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.159 your dogs had to be put down. He was so emaciated he couldn't stand 427 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:55.800 up and had to be hauled into the Tuscaloosa Animal Sheriff's Departments vehicle to be 428 00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:01.960 taken back to the animal hospital at the at the Humane Society. And that's 429 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:08.719 a travesty. And there too, Yes, he was born and raised in 430 00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:19.400 that county. Just said, just said, I I hope whatever book they 431 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:23.239 can throw at them, they throw it hard. Mm hmm. I guess 432 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:31.199 I agree. So I know that we uh had some hockey fans that were 433 00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:37.199 on earlier and they were begging for hockey. And typically I don't do hockey 434 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:46.440 as my town. But the Milwaukee Admirals, after they shut out Grand Rapids 435 00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:52.719 Griffins in Game five of the Central Division Finals on Sunday, they set the 436 00:38:52.800 --> 00:39:00.599 stage for a Western Conference Finals showdown against the Coachiella Valley Firebirds. This is 437 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:07.239 the second year in a row that the National Predators AHL affiliate will face the 438 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:13.519 Firebirds in the semi final round of the Calder Cup playoffs. Milwaukee lost last 439 00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:20.719 year and they have lost the first game of the five game battle so far. 440 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:25.719 But kudos to them for making it that far and doing it two years 441 00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:30.199 in a row. That means they have consistent talent. They have a great 442 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:37.199 goaltender and I wish them nothing but the best good luck. My second parting 443 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:44.880 shot because I'm going to take a minute and I want to say May is 444 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:51.719 Mental Health Awareness Month, and I think we all need to focus more on 445 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:58.119 mental health because this last weekend we saw a golfer take his own life. 446 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:05.400 We had to read about a parent that came out and said, as much 447 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:09.000 as it hurts, they know their son is at peace. Now. We 448 00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:14.480 need to do whatever we can to help anybody out there that is having mental 449 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:19.400 health issues. Reach out to any one of us, because any one of 450 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.599 us, whether we can help you or point you in the right direction, 451 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:27.679 we would be more than happy to. Yeah, please don't suffer in silence 452 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.239 and don't forget there. If you are a veteran, there is the Veteran 453 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.360 Suicide Hotline out there, and you don't have to be wanting to commit suicide 454 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.760 to call him. Call them. You can be just depressed and need someone 455 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.039 to talk to. And I know it's hard as a man, it's hard 456 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:50.800 for us to open up and actually tell our true feelings to somebody because we're 457 00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:58.000 raised not to do it. Please reach out because every twenty two seconds of 458 00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:04.360 that commit suicide, and that's travesty that happens in our nation. Yes, 459 00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:10.199 I know that that's probably subject with you, but it needs to be taken 460 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:15.880 care of. I'm tired of hearing of guys that I was in with and 461 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:20.840 we were in peacetime and these guys are committing suicide. Yeah. I have 462 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:25.320 a friend who's active with the Lions, and I'm not going to say what 463 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:35.039 he does but he is has PTSD. He has tried to take his own 464 00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.880 life several times before I knew him, and I'm pretty sure he did this 465 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:45.320 past Thanksgiving weekend too, right, he means a lot. So if he 466 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.000 happens to be watching, you know who I'm talking to, and you know 467 00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.400 I love you and I think the wrong of you. But reach out to 468 00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:57.920 any of one of us. And if you're not hearing from a friend that 469 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:02.320 you know has had depression, reach out to them. Be their voice of 470 00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:07.960 reason. Just sometimes all they need is someone to reach out and say I 471 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:13.119 care. Mm hmm. The life you save may be better than what you 472 00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:22.079 know. Dad here sir, Yeah, I'm just putting up these these last 473 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:31.599 little little but yeah. So with that, I think we're going to close 474 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.800 out the show. So I want you guys to tell everybody how they can 475 00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:39.960 find you.

This next week we have a 539 00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:59.760 special guest, mister Joel Franco, who is the founder of Where Our Children, 540 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:06.360 and that's a foundation that helps kids. And when I say kids, 541 00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:10.119 it can be any age, kids with sports, with mental health, with 542 00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:15.400 nutrition, all of the above, because it's not just about helping the kids 543 00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:22.320 in one area. It's about helping the kids being an overall healthy and just 544 00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:32.280 in shape and providing them with educational type topics to make them successful. If 545 00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:37.320 I remember right, it's mental health, it's tutoring, it's nutrition, it's 546 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.880 not all of that. And it's about the cross training of sports and how 547 00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:46.079 this sport's gonna help with that sport because the fundamentals are the same. It 548 00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:52.920 is an amazing program and it's available online even if it's not available in your 549 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:55.639 city at this time. And I believe he said it was fifty bucks a 550 00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:01.920 month, which that's relatively cheap to enroll your student athlete into something like that. 551 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:06.320 And it also gives training to the parents on how to be a better 552 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:10.880 athletic parent and any other kids that are in the and it's about being a 553 00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:17.199 wellness for the whole family. So it's a great organization. They're actually doing 554 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:21.559 a documentary I believe as well, and I don't know when that's gonna be 555 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:25.360 coming out, So tune in Tuesday night to see Juel Franco on Jackson salt 556 00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:31.599 Lyn learn more and bring your questions but self.
