Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Off. Are
we all fired up tonight, guys? Yes we are, Yes, indeed,
all right. I have my excellent panelists here in the room with me
smoking. Jeremy b How are you tonight? Freakantastic, awesome, and mister
Ralph, how are you tonight? I'm good? Uh? Andy, I'm
great. Uh. Like I said, I had a great day to day
looking at wheelchair accessible vans and picked one and I'm happy as can be because
my wife and I our lives are gonna be so much better now. Nice,
that's awesome. Great, Well, there's been you know, I would
say normally that this time of year is kind of your slower time of year
for Yes News in this world. But we've had some big things that have
happened this week, Like today history was made. Oh yeah, absolutely it
was. And you know, you got a lot of drafts coming up right
now. I mean, we did the NFL Draft, we dissected that,
you have the NBA Draft, which was in the last two nights, and
now you have the NHL Draft coming up next and then after that the Baseball
draft. So we have a lot of drafts coming up and you know,
and so it's gonna be a lot to talk about dissect some of this stuff,
and you know, so it's gonna be great for now to hold us
up until football season and the baseball season's going on as well. Speaking of
the draft tonight the NBA, and with a fifty to fifth pick, NBA
history was made. Lebron Bronni James Junior was selected by none other surprise surprise,
the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh yeah, absolutely, you know what was
coming. As I mentioned off off the air here, he was supposedly supposed
to come to Duquane because Drew Joyce, our new coach who took over for
the retire Keith Danbru. Drew Joyce was a teammate of Lebron James in high
school. They played together. And so that's the situation here. Let's go
Trump, r XJ, thank you, thank you for your kin words last
night as well. Yes, our x J is awesome. He's one of
my biggest fans. And yes he's on my shows too, even comes on
my other shows, not just the sports, he comes on all my shows.
That's tough, awesome. I try to at least go in and give
a listen and a like. It may not be while it's live, because
some of your shows run near the times I'm never going to work, but
I try to do my support that way. Oh thank you. That way
you at least get of you and a like from me. So that helped
the YouTube algorithm absolutely. If you want my comments about this draft here,
it was nice to see bub Carrington from pitt get drafted in the first round.
And you know there's a uh, it's Boney James or Bonnie or whatever
he calls himself. You know, his son. You knew it was going
to happen sooner or later that he was going to be with the Lakers and
his father. So the question is is he going to be a player and
assistant coach? Is going to clean toilets or what's he going to do?
Because it seems like his dad is the coach down there, so you know
it does? It does? I made the comment last night on my show,
and I think you heard me, Ralph when I said it, Yes
I did. I said, it's so nice that the LA Lakers can have
ord to pay eight million dollars a year for an assistant coach because now Lebron
is coaching that team. Yeah, that was funny when you said that about
the coach there and the new coach. That's funny as heck. I have
to get up to speed on the NBA. I will try to do that
this year before they get started. So so my question to both of you
are, how would you feel if you were playing a sport and your dad
wanted you to be on the same team as you like? And the only
way I can relate semi to it is my dad was a math high school
math teacher, and I was in this. I went to the same high
school that he taught at. Now, two of my siblings, I'm sorry,
were you a math leet? Yes, yes, but two of my
siblings actually had him for a teacher, And I can't imagine that. But
like I can only relate to like being in the same high school as him,
And was that a good experience or not a good And there were times
it was good, at times it was really bad, But I can't imagine
being a player on the team. And let's face it, Lebron is a
really Whatever however you feel about him and his antics and how he goes about
things and his political and all that, he's a good basketball player. Yeah,
can you imagine following in his footsteps? Like what kind of pressure does
that put on his son? And then to have him on the same team,
Well, all I know is that fathers tend to want their sons to
follow through their footsteps. My dad coach football for his shop team, and
I played one time because they were short players and we're going to have to
forfeit. They didn't even have enough to field a nine man team because you
know in softball you gotta have ten. So I filled in, and other
than tripping in a pothole out in right field, I had a pretty good
day. But uh, overall, here's the thing I'm happy about for Lebron
being the fifty fifth pick. Overall, there isn't the pressure of them taking
him at seventeen, because if he'd have been a first round pick, it
would have been catastrophic to the pressure they'd have put on him and I mean
the team, because it looks like he needs to develop a little bit,
and being in the second round late like that he can go to the G
League, do a little bit of development this summer, see what happens,
and see how he does because he didn't do so good in college. Right.
Remember, Remember he had that big scare, like he had that cardiac
issue that he had to sit out for a whole month or something that he
couldn't even play or do anything. So to kind of come back from,
Yeah, he collapsed on July twenty fifth. He collapsed after suffering cardiac arrest
during a usc basketball practice. He was hospitalized and in stable condition before being
discharged three days later. The hells get scarce set him back what was supposed
to be to his college. He wasn't even even until late November. So
that took a lot out of him. And I mean, I'm not sure
that he'd be really great, but I mean to come back from something that
was life scary like that, like life changing, Well, you know what's
interesting. You have to understand something here. I'm glad that he gets along
with his swab because let me say this. Let's look at Deon Sanders right
now, he's coaching the color Colorado. Both his sons went out, they're
on the transfer portal. They're trying to get away. All right. There's
a situation there that you know, uh, it does and sometimes it doesn't
work out with the father and the son on the same team. He's a
a coach or a quarterback or the point guard or whatever in the basketball game.
You know, you have to look at it that way. But at
least this is a positive aspect that this kid and his father can play together,
and it's a great thing. And he and like Jeremy say, he
doesn't have the pressure on him because he wasn't not really a number one draft
pick. So that is a nice thing too. And I agree with you
on that, Candy, I agree, I agree. I mean, and
this gives him time. They don't have to ramp him up, They don't
have to put him in the lineup. They can, like you said,
sign him to the G league, develop him right, and take your time
with him, because I think the worst thing they could do is russ him
right. You know, Candy, They do that all across the board every
sport. They rush the first round draft pick and then he fails, you
know what I mean. You know, you have to be careful with that.
Just like the Pirates when we had Paul Skians. Everybody saw Paul Skans.
Let's let's get him out there, Let's do it this way, that
way. Paul Skans now is a good picture because he was down to minors.
He's got some seasoning. He was able to get some coaching and nice
here. Okay, you know, sometimes doing it that way works mm hmm.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit back and let the chips
fall where they all day lie, right, and everything you cannot change about
it. And there's so many people that cannot do that. They cannot accept
the things they cannot change and it see and yeah, I thought that too.
When the light the Pistons traded up. You heard about that, right,
We've traded our fifty third pick. We got the thirty seventh pick overall,
I believe it was and uh window Moore, a guy that makes two
point five million. It was just a dump of the salary he was thrown
in on that trade. Yeah, and then I'll talk of that to Bony
James. At least he's not bankrupt like one of the Sanders sons just fouled
for bankruptcy. Okay, you know, I got my opinion on that too,
but that's right. But I'm saying he I'm saying he's a good kid
and lasty, you know what I mean. You know, and Deon Sanders
as an example, because his sons are transferrent and one of his sons is
bankrupt. It didn't even make it to the NFL yet. It's funny,
we were talking before the NFL, before we knew that Lebrony was going to
the Lakers. The Celtics had the pick right before the Lakers. Yes,
yeah, I was saying that, wouldn't it have been sticking it to the
Lakers if the Boston Celtics had drafted Lebronni James instead of them, right ahead
of them? And I'm like, I never thought of it that way,
but yes, Wow, Joe Biden staying awake. Yes, give it another
twenty minute. He's staying awake. Actually, it's like he's going on here
we go. Wow. So there was another big happening this week. It
was another history was made and it was made on Monday night and it happened
down here in South Florida. Florida Panthers. Florida Panthers in their thirty year
history, this is the first time they've ever won the Stanley Cup. And
ironically, had Edmonton won, that would have been the first time in thirty
one years a Canadian team had won the Stanley Cup. It's been that long
since. Uh, Canadian team has won. The Panthers took care of business.
I'm sorry, uh plus one, James, Panthers, there you go,
exactly exactly. You know, they played, they played really good in
the first three games. Obviously, the next three they the choke, you
know, came out and there were so many people down here in Florida,
We're wondering, are they really gonna choke the last game and not win the
Stanley Cup. You know, they'd been to the Stanley Cup last year and
they lost. And can they do it? Can they get over the hump?
Can they finally do it? Well, they finally did it, and
they all Maurice took him to the and got him there. And I give
a lot of credit to the coach because, let's face it, he got
them back to how they played the first couple of games as opposed to the
last couple of games. And Connor McGregor, I mean, let's take let's
face it, McDavid, and he won the consmythe reward. He was unquestionably
the best guy man in hockey, and yet the Panthers found a way to
shut him down in that seven game seven their defense. You hear, you
hear all the time defense wins championships. The Panthers proved it. Yep,
absolutely, between the absolutely and you know what's interesting too, the Florida Panthers.
They have some stars, but there have always been a gritty team,
you know, they always had they they have been gritty. Like you said,
Candy, defense wins games as well. They're not a fancy team.
They're not a you know what I mean, but they win all they win
because they have a lot of gritty. They have a lot of grit in
them, you know, and that's something that a lot of teams don't have.
Right now. I'll give you an example. The Penguins don't have it.
They have a lot of puck handlin defensemen, but they don't have guys
that will bang around with you know, and things like that. And that's
what echoes, you know, with that. It's kind of like the pre
salary cap in the NHL, the way the grind line played and yet was
scorers for the for the Red Wings versus other people's enforcer lines. You know,
the grind line, that that fourth line, the guys that come out,
the one that did all the dirty work, the ones that did all
the retaliations, took on the penalty minutes. I think there was a year
where the when the Red Wings won it, where they led the league in
penalty minutes and Darren McCarty had the most out of all of them. I
think he had almost one thousand penalty minutes himself, and he outdid Probot that
year. Mm hmm. And yes, James Rabowski was great and most of
the games. Obviously a couple of games he really he wasn't. But some
of that was the defense didn't stand up help on me out either, and
the offense didn't in some of those games. But yes, he was really
good in some of those games. I have to give him, you know,
his props. But I and I said this last night on the Sports
Exchange. What disappointed me was two things. The fans booing McDavid when he
was named for the con smythe award. He was the best player. You
don't do that. I'm sorry, I don't care. He's on he was
on the losing side. You do not move. He won that award outright,
But then for him not to come out and accept the award, I
was also disappointed. And I get he's disappointed that he did not they didn't
win the Stanley Cup. But I look at I relate it to and I
played tennis back in the day. When you finished your tennis match, you
watch any of those tennis matches wimpledon and all those the two of them stand
next to each other, you watch the other person get the award. You
stand there and watch that. He didn't have to stand and watch them do
all their stuff with the Stanley Cup. But at least he should have come
out and accepted the award. That's my right. Yeah, anybody that gets
an award should come out and get it if they can. If they have
other obligations, that's another story. But when you're you know, when you're
up for an award, Candy and Jeremy, you need to really come out
and accept your award. Who cares what people think? I don't, you
know what I mean. So if people are gonna boo, if you think
people are gonna boo you or whatever, you know, fine, let them
boo. I don't care. It's my award. I want it. I'm
gonna come. I'm gonna come and get it. I know. I think
he was just really disappointed that they didn't win the cup. And I get
that. Sometimes you can't have your cake, any of it too, Candy.
You know what I'm saying. You know, I take it for what
it is. You lose, come back next to your and try again.
Maybe I've been it could be better other than McDavid. They can get some
stars in her to help out, you know what I'm saying. You know,
that's that's part of the issue there too. You know, McDavid needs
some support. While it was disappointing that they didn't win, because it has
been since the last teenth time the what the Canadians won it back in the
sixties that a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup ago. Yeah, so I
understand that side of the disappointment, but to not come and accept your award,
it was the equivalent of Cartman saying I'm taking maclays and going home.
I mean, I don't know how else to say it than that. I
mean, because that's what he did. It was basically, oh yeah,
I want it. That's nice. I'm not showing up exactly. It's kind
of like all the people that were projected as first round picks and only eleven
showed up at the draft. It's the same because you know what they knew.
They weren't going to be the number one pick overall guys. That's the
goal is to be one of those top ten guys. And everybody knew.
We all said four quarterbacks may go in the top ten, and they did,
absolutely, but all of them re expected them to go. That's another
story. I liked the fact that I was watching a little bit of the
NBA draft and I know the Bucks took and I'm gonna not remember his name,
but he wasn't expected, but he was even there. He wasn't invited
to be in the green room, but he was still there. And I
think that's cool that you get to experience that because they were one of the
announcers and I don't even remember which one was talking about how when he was
drafted he was still he was watching it from home and how he regrets to
this day not being there and experiencing it. Yeah, just just the experience
itself when you go to an event is extremely great. Let me give you
an example. Sunday, I was at a wrestling event of independent wrestling in
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and it was my friend Bubba Brewer has a wrestling company
called ally Powers Wrestling, and what and what he did was he invited me
and smoking Jim Fraser and my wife and we were all there okay, and
I got to meet Ac three. I've never met a professional wrestler from the
nw A and and it was a nice event. I've been to draft parties
for the NFL and I've got to meet some celebrities. You've saw some of
the picks of me with Charlie Batche and and and mearrall Hodge and stuff like
that. I was if I was to be a number one pick, just
to get there for the experience, like you said, Candy, And also
you can meet people. You never know who's going to be there. You
know, there might be some legend that might be there, and that's that's
just that's the great thing about all these state drafts with these green rooms,
and James Burns just brings up a good point there. That's why I love
the fact that Branch hung out through day two at the twenty twenty three draft
plus one. Candy, Yes, it was amazing to see him get picked
by the Lions there. I mean, we all knew he could have been,
but nobody knew he would be, you know, but when the trade
up happened, I saw who was on the board, I started getting geeked,
especially with we traded with you know, it was a nice carry on
cop so since we're running to the NFL. The jury awarded ordered the NFL
on Thursday to pay more than four point seven billion for anti trust violations surrounding
its Sunday Ticket package, which let fans watch games outside of their home markets,
but require them to buy access to a bundle of games to do so.
Because of the case's nature as an antitrust matter, the verdict could be
tripled if upheld, putting the NFL on the hook for fourteen point one billion
in damages. Wow, that's a lot of money. It's because the way
this Sunday Ticket was originally done and the way they started doing it. It
used to be available through all three networks at one time, and then they
started monopolizing it and going to one network at a time for a set amount
of years and then going to another, and it was kind of a bad
look. Everybody complained because everybody kept raising the price. And then it went
from a cable network to an online streaming service and they were charging more than
this satellite was and people were getting fed up with it because you couldn't just
buy Sunday ticket. You had to get Hulu Live too, and then that
would cost you over four hundred dollars for the season. I do it all
because you had to at least get the sixty five of them. Scott makes
good Scott makes a good point here. I don't mean to interrupt you,
Jeremy. Sorry, Scott makes a good point here. I like this point
here about the networking and finding and content. Yes, indeed, you know
in the chat room. Yes indeed, Scott, that's my man. Thank
you, Scott. Yeah, yeah, I agree with you Jeremy on this.
And you know, the interesting part about this is they try to get
greedy. And when you try to get greedy and you get burned, that's
the best. That's the best. That's the interesting part about this lawsuit.
They try to get greedy and they got stunned. And there we are.
So I'm sorry, Candy, I had to put a hating pad on my
neck. You know, I have a bad neck. I have some nerve
damage in there, and my neck is all jacked up right now. So
Nope, you're fine, You're fine. Content is my name. Please wear
it out, Wear it out is it so, but again thanks for watching
Scott Man. Shame on the NFL. They got red handed with their hands
in the cookie jar, and that's what it ull comes to do. And
I said when this came out, I said, if they lose, don't
expect that big thirty million dollar jump from the Netflix money. I said,
because basically the Netflix money is going to pay for that. So here we
are. Now we're right back to what they projected the NFL salary cap to
go up by next year. This was supposed to be the lowest year because
there was nothing set for a streaming service or any of that stuff to come
up. And now we're probably looking at that nine to fifteen million dollar increase
again instead of that twenty to thirty million dollars right exactly, which it might
come back to burn a lot of people who spent a lot of money this
year. I have puend no money on that. You know, everybody said
once that whole thing with a Cam Sutton came out and the twelve million came
back to Detroit and then it ended up being eight million total because there's four
point one in dead cap and he's trying to appeal it to get his ten
point five guaranteed money back, and that's all fine and dandy. That's gonna
take a year in the courts before that gets done. That's just a network.
It's guaranteed money. Shouldn't they just pay it to him? I mean,
he has the contract right. The day his guaranteed money came out was
the day the arrest warrant was made of. There was wording in the contract
that makes that detrimental to his contract and it could be voided. So he's
trying to appeal it, and whether he wins or not, it all depends
on the verbiage of the contract he signs. That's that's all it comes down
to. Because it's civil court. So that contract is kind of iron clad
once you sign it, right, and if they find it, it's fine.
We're not going to owe him anything. It'll be just a four point
one that cap and that's it. So I think it's iron clad because the
NFL said, well, yeah, there it is in black and white.
You get arrested for domestic violence, you can be cut off the team.
So and I've been trying to tell did you see that, Ralph? Yes,
I do see that, Scott, thank you. Yeah, And we
will make sure, that's later the name of that show, because that's an
important show and it should the external bomb. Oh absolutely, I've been a
guest there. Scott is a regular. Yes, Candy wants Candy ever wants
to come on, and she can come on. She's welcome. Well,
thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that you can pay. You
know what I call it, It's like bring a child to work day.
I say, bring a bump to the show, bring up bump. Well,
but you know and all. And that is why I've been talking with
my bands on my show and other Lions fans across the across the Lions Nation.
I said, the smartest thing we can do with that extra money is
hold on to it, because what if the cat doesn't go that much?
We can roll it over. The only thing you'll lose out on is whatever
you spend on injury signings throughout the season. So if you can roll over
a majority of that thirty million with the thirty four million, they're going to
have a cap space at the current cap amount next year. Now you're talking
about sixty four million dollars more than likely to play it. Doesn't that sound
a lot better than thirty four million. Yes, it does. It's always
when you have a greater amount as usual, it's always a good thing.
But you know, like like this lawsuit, and we were just talking about
the NFL try to get greedy in my eyes, and they got barned and
they got stunned, and you know, so that's what happens when you play
with fire sometimes. How do you do this, folks? You get barned?
Yes, absolutely, James Bridges, I think this comment about Allen.
I'm going to take this moment to do a station identification because I haven't absolutely

want to come to or we go to my town. We can go to
my town. Okay, let's see. Let's well, Scott saying, I
call the external bum Show is my way of going ballistic and living up to
my MotorCity mad mouth reputation. He definitely does that. Yes, you know
what's interesting. We have a guy in town here on Bethel Park TV.
His name is al Levine, the Talking Machine. So today I was talking
to the sales guy. But you know, my mom goes, you know
my son, he can really talk away. I said, oh no,
Mom, you knew you know el Levine from when he was at our wedding,
and he talks more than I do. And I've never had anybody in
my life ever talk more than I do, except him. So wow,
yeah, yeah, he's That's why they call him the talking machine. They
call me the booking machine because I put a lot of good guests on my
shows. Awesome, awesome. So let's let's transfer over to my town,
Jeremy. Why don't you start with my town? Well, we all know
that the Tigers of late have had a problem of putting up crooked numbers more
than one or two innings the game, and it's usually in the seventh,
eight or ninth inning. The league average right now is two forty five,
and for the first six innings they're batting about two twenty nine, and for
the last three innings they're batting the league average of two forty five, which
is why they are languishing just below five hundred right now. And I do
feel that if they want to actually get what they need, which is some
consistent bats in this lineup, they need people that can hit all throughout the
game, not just at the end of the game or when they bring in
role players. Absolutely, time to trade to re Screwball or Jack Clarity,
one of those two young aces, both of them have two to three years
of control, get a haul and fix the lineup, because either one of
them is going to garner enough to fix the lineup. Jack Flaherty's with Detroit.
He played for Saint Louis or San Francisco or something, didn't he Yes,
yeah, he's been very good. Oh yeah he is. Okay,
mister Ralph Well, Paul Skins pitched this week, and everyone loves seems to
love Paul Skins. But the interesting part about it was the bullpen and the
defense blew it again. Happens every time with Paul Skins. Sometimes with Paul
Skins and our good pitching staff that we have starters. Our bullpen was supposed
to be strong. Our starters were supposed to stink. But it's in reverse.
Now. That's the issue with the Pirates. Eric Shelton and and you
know, as hitting instructor, they need to get together and do something because
some of this hitting is not it's too much, too many strikeouts leaving men
on base. We still lead the league in that. We've been doing that
for a long time. As far as the Steelers go, I can't wait
for training camp. We have justin fields, Russell Wilson. I can't wait
to see how that's gonna work. Our new offensive line with the rookies we
drafted and a few other guys. I'm interested to see what Omar Khan is
gonna do for wide receiver. We'll see what happens. Training camps coming up
soon at the end of July in the NFL. College is getting ready in
August. I'm getting ready on my shows, The Sports Corner Show and The
External Bump Show to start talking about the different conferences in college football. And
we're gonna break them down, see what teams are good, which teams are
bad, where we think they're gonna go. And I'm gonna break that down.
So you know, it's gonna be interesting coming into the football season.
Drafts going on with the NHL. I can't wait to see who who,
what the Penguins and Power tubis is gonna do. We don't have a number
one draft pick this year because we you know, ended up trading for some
bumps. You didn't do anything like Carlson, so you know, but anyway,
that's that's my town and our mayor and our town has to go.
We've got some issues downtown. You better fix them. Those twenty twenty six,
we have the NFL Draft, so Ralph Scott says, he'll give you
a run for your money. Yes, he will. I know he will.
George says, I think we should have a cage match Ralph Ring.
Lol. Well, by the way, speaking of president, I just got
reelected for my third term as the president of the Alleghanty County Transit Council.
So awesome. And I think that's what you're alluding to. Isn't it a
road issues correct? Yes, transit? Yeah, I I we are directly
with the board of the of the Pittsburgh Regional Transit and we also uh talk
to their to their people that we're like a advisory council, so you know,
and this will be my third term. So Transit Council we helped we
deal with mass transit Scott in the in Pittsburgh area Alleghany County. Okay,
So going onto my town, there's been quite a few things that have happened.
Obviously here the Panthers, and I'm not going to get into the Panthers,
but I am from Wisconsin, so I have to you know, I
have to give credit to the Brewers. The Brewers are really outperforming what a
lot of people thought. They didn't think they would do as well. Knowing
that we have a new manager who also left us. We've had some injuries,
but yet we're we're holding our own. We're doing pretty good. I
have to admit what I I want to. There's some big news out of
green Bay and some not news that is kind of surprising. The big news,
I guess would be the green Bay Packers Board of Directors is unanimously approved
ed Policy as the franchise's new president and CEO on Monday. He will replace
Mark Murphy, who will step away in July of twenty twenty five as he
reaches the mandatory retirement age of seventy. So this fifty three year old has
been with the Packers for thirteen years and has served as Cheap operating officer for
the last seven. He'll be the twelfth president in franchise history. The spot
where we haven't made any news is Jordan Love's contract extension, and everybody says
he's now waiting because he holds all the cards, because he thinks the Packers
are going to have to pay him, and let's face it, they pretty
much are because they don't have a backup to him. And look at how
much money so many of the quarterbacks have gotten although Love has not doesn't have
some of the experience of some of them, like a goth. But they're
hitting fifty three Lawrence making fifty five million. Now they're saying that's gonna be
almost sixty. So where does Love think he fits? And where do the
packers think he should get? But on a more serious Oh, Appleton is
up. So on a more serious note though, and a sad note is
I want everybody to be very cautious. And the reason why I say that
is, I don't know if you guys have heard. Randall Cobb lost his
house this this week. He he had his tesla plugged in in his garage
and it caused a fire. They are lucky that him, his three kids,
his three kids, his wife, and his dog all managed to get
out, but only with the clothes on their back. They didn't even have
shoes on. So everybody, I'm cautioning you, and I don't know if
they had electrical problems before that. I don't know if they had the right
electrical for to have a tesla in there. All I'm going to say is,
please, if you guys are going to this electrical cars and plugging and
make sure you have an electrician that knows what he's doing installing these kinds of
things, because I would hate I would hate any more of these kinds of
stories or worse to come out, because it takes a lot of ampage for
these cars for you to charge them, and I would hate to see more
fires like this. I'm lucky and grapeful that they got him his three kids
and the dog out, but it's sad that he lost the whole house to
this, and I just I'm afraid that we're going to hear more and more
of these kind of stories. I agree with Scott. I wouldn't be got
dead with a Tesla. Yes, he likes his bull cruisers. You got
it, I know, I know. Okay, anything else anybody wants?
Any other topics you guys want to bring up? No, I think I'm
good for the night. I think we covered it all. I think we
covered a lot, Yes we did. I think we did. We covered
a little NBA, little basement. We do a little for a variety of
everything here on here exactly what I like. That's what I like. Okay,
