WEBVTT

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.519
Good evening, everybody, and welcome
to another edition of Fire Up, a

2
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.399
new experience, just you and I. Jeremy, Yeah, that's kind of

3
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.840
cool, and we already have comments
coming in. Jimmy, w what's going

4
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.399
on, Joshua or what's going on? And then he also said late start,

5
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:48.880
what's going on? While I'll admit
I just finished watching the defeat of

6
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.240
my Milwaukee Bucks. They are out
of the playoffs, and yes, so

7
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.560
on the couch like the Pistons who've
been on the couch since they started the

8
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.719
season. Yeah, yeah, all, I all I'm gonna say is and

9
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.799
I know the Bucks have a lot
of star power, and obviously Giannis was

10
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:15.519
out of commission for the whole series. So taking your number one and having

11
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.840
him out for the whole series and
your number two player out for two games

12
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.319
of the series and going up against
a hot, young, young team in

13
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.959
Indiana, they were just a better
team, I'll be honest with you.

14
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.200
So they won, and kudos to
them and good luck to them. But

15
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.359
that's why we didn't start, because
I was literally watching that game. Leafs

16
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:47.040
are bruins. It's not the leaf, same old leaf. They'll they'll lose

17
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.560
in the first round. Of the
playoffs, you think, so, yeah,

18
00:01:51.599 --> 00:02:00.959
they suck the thing I will say
about them. We so Scotline went

19
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:08.039
to Toronto. We went to visit
our old stadium, and I will tell

20
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:15.840
you, I was really surprised because
the out out outside of it, it

21
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.719
looks exactly the same. They have
not changed any of it. But there

22
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:27.319
was an eighty million dollar renovation of
the inside. They lifted the floor from

23
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.080
the bottom floor up to the sixth
floor. They left the top seats around,

24
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.599
so they lifted the ice rink.
So now that ice rink is for

25
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.560
college and they use it for national
championships up there for the colleges. They

26
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.319
converted the rest of the floors.
Four of them are college. Now five

27
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.560
are the college. One is a
grocery. The first level is a grocery

28
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.400
store, and they actually have in
one of the aisles is where Center ice.

29
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:04.479
Actually they actually have still marking where
Center ices. And they have a

30
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.759
lot of different pictures around the different
floors that we went on. But I

31
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.439
just thought it was really interesting.
So I have to give them a lot

32
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.759
kudos because in Toronto there's not a
lot of land, so the only thing

33
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:22.599
they can do is build up and
down and so kudos to them for selling

34
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.439
it to the grocery store. The
grocery store making the one level parking is

35
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:31.360
underground, and then selling to the
college and the college making use of it.

36
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:38.680
The second floor is basketball courts,
third and fourth or actually room classroom,

37
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.319
so I thought, so kudos for
making good use of that space and

38
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:53.280
preserving some of history. That's really
cool he wanted me to use. Okay,

39
00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:00.080
that is cool, smoking Jay doing
the voice changer, what you drinking?

40
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.360
Do what else? I think my
kidneys process it straight out. It

41
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:13.520
doesn't even change colors anymore. Well, you and me both except mine's diet

42
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:19.360
and yours is letted. That's all
right, mm hmm. So let's talk.

43
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.360
Well, last time we did a
show was before the NFL draft,

44
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:29.439
both of us the NFL Draft for
our first time. Definitely a different experience.

45
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.560
So talk about your experience. Let's
talk about it. Well, the

46
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.040
experience itself was great. I just
sat back and listened to all all the

47
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:43.720
other reporters and the questions they were
asking. And you know what, I'm

48
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.560
sitting there going, why isn't anybody
asking any meaty questions? The only meaty

49
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.560
question that got asked other than mine
the entire day. That I thought was

50
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.839
when they asked Darius Robertson about his
process on how he prepares for game day.

51
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.839
That's the only meaty question I heard
all day. Everything was those casuals,

52
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:14.439
what you like to be gods?
Like the most casual question. You

53
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.439
don't ask that the first night of
the draft. He asked that after they've

54
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.560
been at OTAs and actually worked out
together. I agree, I agree.

55
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:28.800
I think a lot of the media
would ask general, very general questions.

56
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.160
And I think if they were national
media and had arranged, because they could

57
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.560
have arranged with the team to have
one on one interviews with the players after

58
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.879
the fact, I think that's probably
where they ask more of their media,

59
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.879
you know, so they're not giving
everybody else in the media that the answers

60
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.839
to the good questions. That's why
I did the one I did with Harry

61
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.360
On and you got admit. When
Jeff Risden was leaving, he goes,

62
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.800
what's your question for Harry And I
said, I want I don't want to

63
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.920
know how he fell. I don't
want to know how he got back to

64
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.199
playing. I want to know what
he learned while he sat those four games.

65
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:14.480
He goes, that's a damn good
question. Yep. And he actually

66
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.240
messaged me on Facebook after he read
my article and he goes, that was

67
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:25.639
great, great answer. I can't
believe you, being so new in the

68
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:32.279
media, had the ball's ask that
in front of you. Good for you

69
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.879
go ahead. Other than that,
I liked what I learned from the IT

70
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.560
guy and the police officer when I
was standing outside just before day three.

71
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.439
I mean to learn that there was
actually three hundred thousand additional fans from every

72
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:56.480
type of team outside of the facility, outside of the draft area. The

73
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.920
three hundred thousand you guys saw that
was just what was in the TV area.

74
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.439
That was eid attendance people. That
wasn't the free stuff. The free

75
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.600
stuff was everything outside the gates and
around and so he didn't even count what

76
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.160
was in the streets, he said, in the bars from Greektown to the

77
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:23.480
other side of the one campus Marshes
mm hm. There was about three hundred

78
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:36.240
thousand, three hundred thousands around the
draft. That's amazing. If you add

79
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:41.319
that in every day, that's another
nine hundred thousand, seven hundred and seventy

80
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.319
five eight attendants for each day total
in the draft. That's one point sixty

81
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:55.879
seven five million people in Detroit.
Mm hm yes. The one thing I

82
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:03.439
will I will tell people that if
you have not already gotten a hotel room

83
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.600
in Green Bay for next year's they're
almost completely sold out already, right,

84
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:15.120
You've got to start looking two counties
away right now. Find decent hotel rooms

85
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.439
not jacked up either. Mm hm. Oh yeah, they know the year

86
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.160
ahead of time. Yep. And
I know we deserve a super Bowl when

87
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.600
in Detroit after the Draft, I
love it. Braylen, Yeah, seven

88
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.879
hundred and seventy five thousand people.
There was seven hundred thousand through the gates

89
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.799
when Governor Whitmer just before she made
that announcement that didn't include the people that

90
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.399
we saw still walking in because I
literally was like, okay, we don't

91
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.679
have a picture of the fifth round
or fifth round. Now, I'm gonna

92
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.399
go outside and have a smoke while
we got this break because there was really

93
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.159
not a lot for me to talk
about. I walk outside, I light

94
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:07.440
up my cigarette and it says lions
around the clock, and I was like,

95
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.600
oh, well, I'm gonna stay
down here till it's done because I

96
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.679
don't want to talk about it.
So after I know the pic because by

97
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:18.759
the time I walk up there,
it's done right right. Question for Candy,

98
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.879
when will Dave join a South Florida
Tribune show? When will Dave?

99
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.000
I do not know any motoral words
a teacher, no man, Dave's not

100
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.559
here, and Jimmy V are you
guys going to the draft next year?

101
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.159
And I would say at this point
it's TBD to be determined. We don't

102
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.480
know yet. I can tell you
that I do have family that still live

103
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.399
in the Menominee Falls area. So
let me see if I, oh,

104
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:05.879
Dave from my ah from Smoking Jay's
show. Hm, you mean Dan von

105
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:18.320
Doom. Oh, he'll be on
again. Let's see if I do I'm

106
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.879
having issues tonight. Let's see Dan
Davis. That's who he's talking about,

107
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:31.799
Big Dan David. So the answer
is, I'm not sure. Mammy falls

108
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:46.639
w that guy that I don't ever. I've never had a David. Oh

109
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.960
those guys, Okay, I know
who he's talking about, Dave, Chris

110
00:10:52.960 --> 00:11:00.679
Sierra and Dave. They are Fourth
and Goal Sports podcast Andy, and he's

111
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.159
really good. He would love Dave
to be on Inside the Pig Skin with

112
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.919
us. I'll talk to Dave s
if he'd be interested in that. I

113
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.200
don't know if he's available those days
because he works as a truck driver during

114
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.639
the week. He has a set
schedule now. But if he is available,

115
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.960
I'm quite sure if Scott's good with
it, I'd had to talk to

116
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.759
Scott first, introduce him to Scott
and get it that way. I'm not

117
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.720
just gonna say yeah, I can
get him on the show, because I'm

118
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:39.000
not the boss, right neither.
Let's see back to the question about next

119
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.480
year's draft. I have family there
within two hours of Green Bay, so

120
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.000
if we decided to, we could
stay with them. I mean, by

121
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.360
the time you really the the day
that makes the most sense obviously is Thursday

122
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.360
night. It's you know, that's
the big night that really counts. And

123
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:05.679
the suggestion I made would have a
have a spot for me to remember run

124
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.600
an RV, run an RV.
All I'd have to do is show up

125
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.639
and pitch in. Yeah, that's
that's always on the table as well.

126
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.720
You never know, that's probably your
best bet to get a room even right

127
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.799
now. Mm hmm, Andy,
give you a dog chat. I don't

128
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.559
know if she barked, Oh,
my bite might might be worse than my

129
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.720
bark. I don't know what I
was thinking, because I don't know if

130
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.279
I'd ever want to make you mad, because I think it takes quite a

131
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.240
bit though. Oh, your friend, he's a truck driver, he must

132
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.919
be rich. Truck drivers make good
money. But at the same time,

133
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:56.039
you know what it actually is a
drain on the body. And how many

134
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.720
skinny fit truck drivers are there under
the age of fifty? Think about it.

135
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.559
You don't see it? Very rare, very rare. We just do

136
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:22.039
this. That actually sounded good?
That did, Joshua. She's officially a

137
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:28.360
dog, josh There we go.
Jesse Staubers mom is a truck driver and

138
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.600
she's rich. You know, there
is good money to be made, but

139
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.639
there's also some drawbacks because you're not
home very much, depending on what and

140
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.360
it also depends on what your kind
of truck you're driving, you know.

141
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.919
I mean, now that they have
those automatic ones, I think the average

142
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.120
person can get away with it if
they just figure out the breaking disc mm

143
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.799
hmm. Next to god, good
luck, Joshua. I don't know that

144
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:03.279
you're gonna get that ever, But
did you get that I sent you?

145
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.320
They went up a little bit.
But about the sound card I got,

146
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.559
I did I haven't had a chance, but yes, it's brutal being on

147
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.399
the road all the time. Yes, I can imagine. It's aware on

148
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.639
the family. You have to have
a certain mindset, and you know what,

149
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.320
when you're a truck driver, you
got to find a wife that does

150
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:31.519
want to be the homemaker. And
that's rare these days, finding a woman

151
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.399
that wants to stay home, be
faithful, take care of kids, keep

152
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.120
the house up, make it a
home, because you know what, in

153
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:43.919
the traditional old values, the reason
why the woman was called the wife and

154
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.399
the homemaker is because that's exactly what
she was and they were happy to do

155
00:14:50.440 --> 00:15:00.080
it forever. Mm hmm. It's
kind of interesting because my uncle had the

156
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.879
exact opposite role. Now they didn't
have any kids, but he stayed home

157
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.879
and she went to work and she
wasn't a truck driver. But so you

158
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.480
just never know, right, Well, that's how this whole crazy stuff with

159
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.159
the mental disorder that's known as changing
sects that started, as far as I'm

160
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.360
concerned, is because there were guys
that were capable that were more feminine than

161
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:28.039
they were masculine. And it's been
all throughout history, there's always been guys

162
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.639
that's been that way where they weren't
the athletic guy. They weren't the man's

163
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:39.960
band, but they didn't do like
guys. Now now it's the opposite.

164
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.759
Candy works and Scott stays home.
I don't think Scott really stays home all

165
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:50.960
the time though he's not. He
networking and you know, writing and stuff

166
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.360
like that. He's not home all
the time. But so when we were

167
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.799
out there taking our pictures prior to
the draft on day three for everybody so

168
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.480
they see the stage and all that
good stuff, when we ran into that

169
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.080
guy that was talking to us,
m hm, he's actually a comedian.

170
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:14.200
He' sprended me on Facebook. His
name is Crystal Ball Flores and yes,

171
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.320
he calls himself the dirtiest comic that
sports oriented around, and he might be,

172
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.080
and he'd be perfect on my show. And I made all actions.

173
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:32.440
I can't say any names, but
guess what, I might have a former

174
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.600
Hall of Fame player on my podcast
soon. Candy was there when I was

175
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.759
told about it. I'm working the
details out now, should be within the

176
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.960
next couple of couple of weeks.
But all was like to say is he

177
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.960
was at the draft. M Oh
yeah, And it's a it's a big

178
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.919
name. So that's that would be
a really good interview for you, a

179
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.639
really good, really good possibility too, which is awesome. And that's what

180
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.519
I think the NFL Draft really was
for a lot of people. Chance to

181
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:12.039
talk to all people. And Jimmy
asked us, on a scale on one

182
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.319
and ten, how did you like
the draft. I'm going to let you

183
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.000
answer with your answer first, kid, on a scale of one to ten.

184
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.880
Now I'm going to say, Jimmy, my answer, I know is

185
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.920
going to be very different from Jeremy's, and it would be different from Scott's

186
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:33.640
because it was not in my hometown
I was. I would say mine was

187
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.880
probably an eight. And probably the
only reason why it's not down a couple

188
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.039
is because I was a little disappointed
that from where we were in the media

189
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.839
center that we couldn't actually ever look
out and see the whole stage with the

190
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:51.599
crowd. We had to watch it
from a screen like everybody else. I

191
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.880
wish at one point they had to
have even if it was a small room

192
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.799
or something where we could have gone
to look out at the crowd from time

193
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.839
to time, you know, even
if it was just down the hallway and

194
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.359
like you know, you'd rotate people
or something like that. That that's one

195
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.680
of the things I missed is that, yes, I was there, and

196
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:14.359
I wasn't actually out there, and
that was why because the exit that I

197
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.119
found was so close to the stage. That's one of the reasons why I

198
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.160
had more cigarettes this past weekend than
I do when I'm working and I work

199
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:27.720
in a shop wrack and smoke.
I'm gonna say that, Oh yeah,

200
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.920
I think I was taking what two
cigarette breaks an hour there for a little

201
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:38.319
bit. I know I went through
some packs. But anyway, for me,

202
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.839
it's a nine. And for the
exact same reason that Candy said,

203
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:51.720
because it was in my hometown.
It's a nine because I'll tell you what

204
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.279
when I talked to that officer and
he told me that all they had all

205
00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:00.839
weekend was one duy in that area
and two fist fights between two individuals,

206
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.960
different different ones each time. But
and then there was some lady who brought

207
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.960
in a ceramic pocket knife and she
got busted. That was it. That's

208
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.880
all the crime that happened in that
area. And you're talking about Detroit,

209
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:23.799
a city that used to be one
of the top ten in crime rate in

210
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:30.480
the country. To have it be
cleaned up and monitored that close. And

211
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.559
I found out some more details about
the four hundred cops that were on duty.

212
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.160
Five of them were swapped with sniper
rifles on the top of the buildings

213
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:44.920
of surrounding the draft. Just be
mm hmm, Josh, I do want

214
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.440
to acknowledge what he's saying. Josh, and the guys were thinking the same

215
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.960
thing. You guys were just watching
it on the screen. You could have

216
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.799
done that from home. Yes,
we could have watched that, but we

217
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.400
wouldn't have had the interaction with any
of the other media. We wouldn't have

218
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.400
been able to that first night interview
you all of the draftees that came into

219
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.359
the room and to talk to the
media, So you would have missed all

220
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.799
of that. And so just for
those reasons, I mean, that's why

221
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.160
you go to the draft is to
you know, interview some of them,

222
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.039
some of the players, some of
the future You know, some of those

223
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.680
will be future Hall of famers.
Now do we know which ones will know?

224
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.359
The jury will still be out and
it depends on what team you went

225
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.200
to and stuff like that, but
it's definitely an experience that you have to

226
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.359
experience. If you're a fan of
the NFL, you have to experience it

227
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:40.440
at least once and everybody, I'll
tell you what it was worth it to

228
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.519
be in the press room, because
those are the interviews you don't get to

229
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:47.400
see. You get to see the
one on one one or the ones near

230
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.839
the green room. The average people
don't get to see the interview room like

231
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.759
we had. I mean, yes, there risk cameras there, a couple

232
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.960
of them got it on film.
That's amazing experience. And it was my

233
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.200
first time being in that situation and
when I had a chance, i rose

234
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:11.799
to it for the terry On Arnold. But I mean we only had five

235
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.160
minutes per guy. That's it.
It was five minutes. So if the

236
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.440
questions were long winded, that meant
you only got about five questions in.

237
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:26.400
And let's face it, the media
room probably had close to would you say,

238
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.640
three hundred four hundred of us in
the media asking the questions, trying

239
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.519
to get questions in. Well,
if you look, it was about there

240
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:40.119
was six rows and they were twenty
five across approximately, because it looked like

241
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:45.640
they split an aisle down the middle
at twelve and so I think there was

242
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.519
close to one hundred and fifty maybe
two hundred people in that room, but

243
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.000
in our room where we were sitting
doing the draft stuff on day one,

244
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.720
there was five six hundred people in
there because each one of those tables had

245
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:06.240
twenty tears down side. Mm hmm, Jimmy w thank you. It's something

246
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:10.720
I've done every year, even from
home, and whether I'm in Green Bay

247
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:15.319
or at home, I hope Scott
will do something similar to what I did,

248
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:21.559
and because that was fun for me, It's what I do. And

249
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.279
you know, Scott realized how much
I actually watch college football and pay attention

250
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:32.640
to the players and everything because I
had comments about players he knew I knew

251
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:38.079
didn't know anything about. He was
just like, I mean, I go,

252
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.160
I go in depth with it.
I love college football. I love

253
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.599
college football because those kids are playing, you know, prior to the nil

254
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.160
and some of them still do because
not all of them get nil. De

255
00:22:51.480 --> 00:23:00.559
deal. So, yes, we're
glad that you enjoyed his live reactions.

256
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.799
That was awesome sitting next to them
and trying to sometimes keep quiet and sometimes

257
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:14.799
not gotta say hello hello. We
enjoy Yeah, I highly highly recommend it

258
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:22.079
as well, because it's it's a
passion for me to do this because I

259
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.880
like to try to think as a
GM when I'm doing my mock drafts.

260
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.279
Because Candy has watched a couple of
my shows where I've done it before.

261
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:38.559
Mm hm. Yes, thanks for
the beverage. Love college football. When

262
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:45.599
national champs, you can love it
then, but I love it most of

263
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.480
the time no matter who is the
champ. Yes, of course it's better

264
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:53.200
for your team to be on top. I get it. But you know

265
00:23:53.839 --> 00:24:00.519
that's how I think is I try
to put my head into brand hole head

266
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.599
listening to what he says and the
type of players he's drafted. And what's

267
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:10.240
funny is I actually got three players
right out of the six we drafted.

268
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.359
Mm hmm. Because if you look
at every mock there were certain players I

269
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:21.599
took every time. Siam Vaki was
one of them, but I didn't know

270
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.440
he played running back. I was
just going purely off of safety. In

271
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.799
the fact we brought him in for
a visit, I didn't know its pro

272
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:33.000
day. He did four different workouts
for four different positions. I even said

273
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:41.440
we'd probably take Giovanni Manus in Day
three just because of his size and athleticism.

274
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.119
Can we talk about how awful that
what a prone wants commercially. Oh

275
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.599
god, it was horrible. I
hated it. You saw it so many

276
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:56.519
times too. Yes, And if
he was there at twenty nine, I

277
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.599
was taking Terry on Arnold. That's
three guys I was taken, and you

278
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.559
can technically say four because I always
took him in the third round. I

279
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.880
didn't think he'd balled a sixth.
Christian Mahogany, the Guard out of Boston

280
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:17.440
College. It comes on constantly during
NHL games. The funniest moment for me

281
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.799
is, you know, cayleab was
the number one pick overall, but they

282
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.880
had him do the other part of
the interview car wash versus all the individuals

283
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.359
stuff with the with the big name
guys and on the NFL network and then

284
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.240
at the ESPN desk that was there
and all that stuff. What was funny

285
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:40.559
is as he gets up to leave
in the actual press media room and he

286
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:45.400
leans down and he grabs that microphone. He goes Goberts as he walks out

287
00:25:45.440 --> 00:26:03.559
the room, Salute, good sir, thank you for coming on the show.

288
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.440
There, Joshua, we appreciate you. You have an early flight to

289
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:17.559
catch, so thank you, thank
you, Thank you. There five for

290
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:21.279
the five salutes. There, I'll
there, there you go, there you

291
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.720
go. So what was your surprise
of the draft, And it can be

292
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.480
it doesn't have to be a pick, it can be whatever. It's a

293
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.880
pick. It was Michael Pennix going
to Atlanta causing a QB controversy that was

294
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.559
not needed. As Orlando says right
there about in his namon Wayne's voice,

295
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:52.440
hated it. Yeah, it kind
of kind of reminded me of drafted love

296
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:57.720
and I'm like that didn't sit well
with Aaron. Quite difference there, because

297
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.400
Rogers was already starting to waffle about
retirement every year at that time. There's

298
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:08.680
a big difference there. If a
players letting himself talk about possibly retiring,

299
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.400
trading up for a QB makes sense
to have him sit behind that guy.

300
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:21.039
We'll vogel he speak of the devil. There he goes, Yes, hello,

301
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.200
mister Will, thinking about you Will. How are you doing? Are

302
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:32.000
you alive? Are you good?
Oh? No, we love you.

303
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.079
Will. You'll be back on soon. We'll message you when you get your

304
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:44.720
chance. Yep, yep, Hey, I'm happy it's where they had Mitchell

305
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:49.359
and oh, well, miss you
all. You'll be back, well,

306
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.839
you'll be back at some point,
we kind of have done a little bit

307
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:59.000
of changing with the Fire Up programming, and for right now, it's going

308
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:03.400
to be me and Jeremy. We're
gonna invite one guest on certain weeks.

309
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.720
We just don't know exactly who it'll
be, but we will do that,

310
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.599
and one of these weeks it could
be you will. You just never know.

311
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:18.279
But we were kind of taming it
down a little bit and just letting

312
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:26.200
Jeremy and I talk. So he
misses your show chair Ah that three,

313
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:33.279
Well, you know what or what
not to do. That's all I'm going

314
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:41.640
to say. But I think for
me it was interesting because I was talking

315
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:49.480
with one of the media that was
covering it from the Milwaukee market and they

316
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:56.000
live they actually live in Kenosha,
and we were talking about how different it'll

317
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.680
be and where they'll have it in
Green Bay, because they really haven't come

318
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.240
out. They've kind of said it'll
be around Lambeau. It's not going to

319
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:08.839
be in Lambeau because you obviously can't
draw. It's going to be in Tidle

320
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:15.000
Town. But where and you're thinking
of that area the only thing big enough,

321
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.160
how's that many people right there?
It's the parking lot of lambeau Field,

322
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.480
because I you know, I've looked
at the map. There's not a

323
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:32.640
close based park like there is a
Detroit. There's not even a high school

324
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:37.680
football field that would be big enough, close enough like it would be in

325
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.119
Detroit. So I'm thinking it's probably
going to be right in the parking lot.

326
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:52.359
They're going to build a structure,
a temporary structure Orlando. But in

327
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:57.319
a way, he's right, there's
just a better infrastructure and a bigger facility

328
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:04.440
available dom Do you there's that one
automotive plant that's still sitting vacant in decrepit.

329
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:08.279
They're in Milwaukee. I know because
I've been there in the last twenty

330
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:15.720
years. You take that and you
turn that into a sports complex, and

331
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.559
you don't have to make it for
one sport. Think about it. Isn't

332
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:27.960
the Milwaukee Brewers Stadium having issues?
Yeah, they were there. They've approved

333
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.599
money now to fix it. Though, So if they took that money and

334
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.119
coupled it with the money that they're
going to get to build a new stadium,

335
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.960
you guys could make a super stadium
that shared between the two teams,

336
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.839
is what I'm getting at. They
used to, but it's really hard because

337
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:51.599
Baseball and football really have different and
to have a really good stadium, it's

338
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.759
hard. But Orlando, your super
Bowl is not going to happen in Wisconsin.

339
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.680
It will not because one, we
have an outdoor stadium and it's too

340
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.480
cold old at that time of year
that they'll never have a Super Bowl.

341
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.640
They do not have the hotel space. They know that. I mean,

342
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.680
that's just the way it is.
And I don't see them tearing Lambo down

343
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.759
anytime soon to change it up.
We're gonna be one of the only teams

344
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:21.400
in the NFC North still have an
outdoor stadium. Yea, because the Ants

345
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.759
are in for a dome, either
going on Soldier Field or moving to that

346
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.920
place in Arlington Heights. I think
it's called right right right where the two

347
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.519
is gonna happen with the Bears,
They're going to end up in a dome

348
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:40.400
there, and I think all these
northern markets Chiefs are talking about doing a

349
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:45.839
retractable dome because of that cold weather. Because it just affect the Dolphins players,

350
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:49.400
it affects the Chiefs players too.
Remember at the end of that game,

351
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:57.599
Andy Reid's face matched his coat.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

352
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:04.079
It'll be interesting if Lamb wasn't so
historic, you know, there would

353
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.119
be a chance that they would change
it. But because it is so historic

354
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:13.359
that at least for right now,
there's no plans of changing it. Yeah,

355
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.240
because I think they said when Pdfield
was built, Nick got finished in

356
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:21.519
what was it two thousand and one
was when we opened for that season.

357
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.279
That was the first season we had
Joey Harrington, if I remember right,

358
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:32.160
he never got to play in the
Silver Dome. So all we know is

359
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.480
that it's in Green Bay next year, and they'll decide on the next two

360
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.160
locations this year. They do it
two locations at a time when they do

361
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:44.240
it, so probably middle to end
of the season, just like when they

362
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.759
announced it would be in Detroit in
Green Bay. It's going to be that

363
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:50.880
a thing because the year before they
say announced it, Oh, it's going

364
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:59.200
to be in Las Vegas and in
Kansas City. Yeah, you're no,

365
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:05.119
Yankee Stadium does not still exist,
although they've they've built a field around that

366
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:07.759
on that same stadium. And you're
right, Tiger Stadium is no longer,

367
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:14.519
but Tiger Stadium actually is still.
That's not where they changed. No,

368
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:20.160
Tiger Stadium is. Yeah, it's
gone gone, that's one of the things

369
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:25.640
I missed, the things that were
lost. I had my two seats from

370
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.640
when I was thirteen watching the Tigers
during the World Series run. I had

371
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:39.599
my two seats from when I watched
mister Billy Simms karate kick Stevie Brown say

372
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:42.759
what you want. That was a
karate kick all day. It was a

373
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.160
jumping sidekick, great for the guy's
chest to make them get the burst down

374
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:51.799
m I had. I had those
four seats. It was the same.

375
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.440
The one with the seat I sat
him with my mom, and the other

376
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.200
one with the seat I sat him
with my dad. And those being gone,

377
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.839
that's my reason I can't bring back
I can't afford to bring back down

378
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:06.359
because I bought them back when they
were first tearing stuff down, and you

379
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:13.719
could buy it from the construction guys
for next to nothing. That's just smart.

380
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.880
But Orlando, Yes, you're right
that some stadiums aren't still there,

381
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:23.920
but some of them still are.
Like I can tell you where County Stadium

382
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:29.039
was. They changed that to a
Little League field, So yes, the

383
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:34.280
big complex isn't there, but the
field is actually still partly there. Home

384
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.239
plate is Bill the original home plate. If I remember right, that the

385
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:42.079
location. A home plate for that
Little League field is still the local that

386
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.639
is the home plate from Tigers Station. The location is not the same plate,

387
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:52.360
of course, six years old by
now. And when we were we

388
00:34:52.360 --> 00:35:00.559
were just talking earlier off camera that
we had gone to Toronto and the Maple

389
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:05.159
leafs Old Stadium, the original stadium
that they had built, I think it

390
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:10.119
was nineteen thirty one, and how
they've transformed that stadium. It's still the

391
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:15.559
outside is still all the same dimensions, same brick, same everything. But

392
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.800
now the first floor is a grocery
store and a college bought the rest of

393
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.599
it, and its floor is two, three, four, five and six.

394
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:29.000
One's a hockey still. The top
floor is the hockey rink with the

395
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:34.119
original seating that was up on the
top upper bowl, and then one level

396
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:38.360
is a basketball court and then rooms. So it's it's interesting what you can

397
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:45.320
convert some things to what money will
do these days. Right. Yeah,

398
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.639
In the very first time that they
tried to destroy the Silver Dome and they

399
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:55.280
placed all those blasting the blasting stuff
around the pillars, and we called it

400
00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:00.599
the House that Bury built in the
Silver Dome live up to the name because

401
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:07.320
it literally bounced and stayed standing up. I mean, I've never seen a

402
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:13.320
building jump afoot and just land back
on its foundation. Is that? No,

403
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.119
I don't want them. That's a
Barry Sanders move if I ever heard

404
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:22.559
it. That is Orlando. My
trip there was great, although Scott and

405
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:27.920
I both got sick and got this
nasty little head cold going on. But

406
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:32.960
I'll notice any big changes since you
were last here, Well, obviously the

407
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:37.800
whole downtown area where we were,
where you know where they built the stage

408
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:44.000
I Orlando. I've honestly been to
Detroit, and I hate to say this

409
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.880
more times in the last couple of
years than I care to, unfortunately for

410
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:58.360
funerals. So we were last let's
see twenty one and twenty twenty twenty we

411
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:02.360
were there for funerals. So twenty
twenty three were there to meet me,

412
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:08.880
Yes, exactly. We've been there
numerous times. So the biggest changes I

413
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:15.519
would say would be the downtown where
we were. I've been to Joe Louis,

414
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:22.920
I've been to Little Caesars, I've
been to Ford Field. We've driven

415
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:28.360
by the Antiac Silver Dome when it
was still up obviously not when I wasn't

416
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:34.119
there when it was still in use. But it was still up and I

417
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.880
have I was at the Palace of
Auburn Hills at one point, I was

418
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:44.400
inside there, so I have been
to some of those places too. But

419
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:49.159
so the biggest change I would just
say is we're downtown where we were for

420
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.880
the draft. What they had done
with all of that down there. So

421
00:37:53.079 --> 00:38:01.519
Mom's Spaghetti. That is Eminem's restaurant
after that line in his song Lose Yourself,

422
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:07.519
Mom Spaghetti and that's all they there, spaghetti and breadsticks and salad.

423
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.400
But uh no, we didn't get
a chance to go to that. But

424
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.679
I wish they'd have been one of
the caterers one day while we were in

425
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.639
the media room, because I would
spaghetti goes a long way and it's teams.

426
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:27.000
Yeah, Detroit need the city needed
it so bad. Detroit showed up

427
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:31.280
and Detroit really did. Did the
NFL proud. I'll say, I really

428
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.559
think the NFL was happy that they
did put it in Detroit, and the

429
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:43.280
way that Detroit responded was awesome.
You know, to see a city embrace

430
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:47.480
the team and the NFL like they
did was just really good to see.

431
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:52.840
I had seen a stat I'm trying
to think, you guys, was it

432
00:38:53.000 --> 00:39:00.360
Nashville was the one that had hundred
thousands, and that was back in so

433
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:06.360
twenty nineteen. It was the year
prior to COVID, and like last year,

434
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:10.119
that was very little. How many
people I thought I screened shotted.

435
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:15.800
Three hundred and twelve thousand is what
was in Kansas City last year, and

436
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:21.000
the year before that was Vegas was
three hundred thousand, and then Chico.

437
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.039
Two years before that was Chicago,
if I remember right, well, they

438
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:29.400
didn't have one in twenty twenty or
twenty one, So then twenty nineteen was

439
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.719
Nashville was six hundred. The year
before that, twenty eighteen was Dallas with

440
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:37.519
only two hundred thousand. The year
before that was twenty seventeen with Philadelphia with

441
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:43.599
two hundred and fifty thousand. The
previous two years were twenty sixteen and twenty

442
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.639
fifteen, were both in Chicago.
One had two two thousand and the other

443
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:51.800
one was two hundred and twenty five. So you guys blew everybody out of

444
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:58.119
the water this way. We almost
beat the Chiefs on day one mm hmm,

445
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:06.920
kind of like Week one last year, and Orlando Niagara Falls was beautiful.

446
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:15.400
We were pleasantly surprised by mister Wilson
who had passed away, and his

447
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:22.480
widow has basically she was left a
boatload of money from the sale of their

448
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.840
team, and I want to say
it's something like a billion dollars that she

449
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.559
has sitting making money, and she
takes the money that she makes off that

450
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:37.000
money, which is two hundred million
dollars, and puts it into New York

451
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:43.159
in some spot in the state.
She has. They have built a welcoming

452
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.840
visitors center on the US side of
Niagara. They have they're building in the

453
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:51.239
process of building two other little buildings. One that's gonna hold I think a

454
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:54.199
little movie theater. She can go
in and see like the progress of Niagara

455
00:40:54.280 --> 00:41:00.519
Falls and all that change. And
they have a gift shop. We did

456
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:07.719
take the boat tour Mist of the
I always forget how it's said what it's

457
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:15.119
but it's like you basically sit in
the boat and they take you around by

458
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:24.199
the falls and it is quite the
quite a wed expendi because you don't realize

459
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:30.679
how what mist comes off in the
falls. Lady of the myst Yes,

460
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:37.239
I've take that's what we took.
Awesome experience going off Canada side. Obviously

461
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:43.400
you can see more of the actual
falls, but it was that was definitely

462
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:47.920
beautiful. And then we headed up
to Toronto. We covered Royals and Toronto

463
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:53.280
Blue Jays baseball game. Scott got
to talk with Don Mattingly, who he's

464
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:55.960
you know, when Don was a
manager down here, they got to talk

465
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.239
quite more frequently, and now that
he's up in Toronto, I don't see

466
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:04.800
each other very often. And Don's
like, wait a minute, where what

467
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.079
are you doing up here? And
he's like, well, we came up

468
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.400
to visit you. We did you
know, we did the draft things.

469
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:15.519
So it was really kind of cool. That's right, Yeah, you need

470
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.400
you need Summer Olympics. We do
need to place that bid. We just

471
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:27.719
proved we can handle one point six
million people just around Greek Town and everything

472
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:32.559
else. So and we've got the
space for the facilities that need to be

473
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:38.159
built for the Olympics. That's what
everybody doesn't realize. Since they took away

474
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:45.239
the blight and they've knocked out so
many of those decrepit buildings for they're turning

475
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:51.639
most of them into new high rises, those expensive New York style flats.

476
00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:55.920
And who buys them or rents them
usually as corporations that have visiting people from

477
00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:00.639
out of state or out of country
because it gives them an nice, secure

478
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.360
location to put people up in and
once they own the building, they can

479
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.519
get it for cheap. Well.
And I think a lot of people don't

480
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:14.159
realize how close Detroit and Windsor are
because there's a lot of hotels in both.

481
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.119
So like, if you have it
in one spot, you have a

482
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.400
lot of hotels in the other city
that people can stay at two So I

483
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:27.599
hate that makes it even better and
easier for you know, the people of

484
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:37.639
Detroit too. Okay, also close
university facilities, that's true. Yeah,

485
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.639
you got Olympic style. A university
track and field event is the same as

486
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.960
an Olympic track and field event.
The only thing you'd really have to do

487
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:52.039
is clear the path for the marathon
the triathlon, no problem. Think clear

488
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:55.199
rivers right there now. Saying you
want to swim in hey, you gotta

489
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:00.800
do what you gotta do. People
don't want to swim in the ocean near

490
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.679
those big cities either, but they
do it in those things. And arbor's

491
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:09.840
available, that's another one. But
Detroit is the city that can have the

492
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:16.199
infrastructure to handle it. Ann Arbor
Windsor really don't either if you actually look

493
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:20.159
at the amount of cops they have
on duty, they would have to triple

494
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.880
to quadruple their police force to be
able to handle that type of business.

495
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:27.519
They'd be able to handle the overflow
to the hotels, but not the actual

496
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:32.119
event itself. Right, and you
already have you have little seats. I

497
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.480
mean, well for summer you have
little Caesars, but that could be the

498
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.800
basketball you have. I mean your
big fields are right there at Ford Field.

499
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:45.320
You know, I don't know that
people realize how close those are.

500
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:51.519
In propimunity. It's not city blocks, but they are all six blocks apart.

501
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.239
If you put it into actual city
blocks, it's probably a twenty blocks

502
00:44:55.239 --> 00:45:02.119
circumference where all of those things are. Yep, I could see it.

503
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:07.960
They could do it in Wayne State
Universities right there with the tracks for them,

504
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:13.880
but they don't have the seating at
that track. For I think they

505
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:17.719
would hold all the track stuff at
ann Arbor where they have the bigger stadium

506
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:22.920
for it. I just I just
think that would be the better spot for

507
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:28.800
the track and field. I could
see it. I could see it.

508
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:35.679
Let's put in a bed now.
But also I wanted to say I was

509
00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:38.880
when we were driving in the first
day and I looked up and I saw

510
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.159
this building. I was like,
it said town Line Apartments. I was

511
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.599
like, oh my god, that
was the old hotel that we had to

512
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:47.880
go to to stay in the night
before we took our testing at the met

513
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:53.199
Center to get into the military.
So from eighty eight to twenty twenty four,

514
00:45:53.920 --> 00:46:00.840
yeah, I'm old people, that's
how much it changed. But the

515
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.079
building's still there. It just has
prettier tinted windows, and they're not looking

516
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:09.039
like a hotel anymore. It looks
more like apartments mm hmm, because you'll

517
00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:13.360
have the couple little windows for the
bedrooms and then you'll have the big bay

518
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:20.280
window for the living room, and
then it's the same thing down the way.

519
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:22.840
So it was amazing to see all
that stuff. You know, when

520
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:29.239
you go in from a different venue
point of approach to what you're used to

521
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:32.280
going, you see different stuff you
didn't even realize that you saw when you

522
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:37.840
were a kid. Oh yeah,
yeah. But you know what else,

523
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:45.719
this tells a certain commissioner, Adam
Stern, you're screwing up. There's Adam

524
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:51.760
Silver's, David Stern, all of
them not letting Detroit host an NBA All

525
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:57.639
Star Game is a travesty when we've
hosted a Super Bowl technically two because we

526
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:02.000
had one at the Silver Dome as
well. Yep. And if we can

527
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:07.719
handle the fans for the NFL in
the middle of winner like that, the

528
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:16.000
All Star Game shouldn't be an issue. Nope, I agree. I agree.

529
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:21.840
Yes, come back story and the
Lions have done an amazing job coming

530
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.719
back. But at the same time, if you look at free agency around

531
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:31.639
the league and the draft, NFC
North might be the most competitive division in

532
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:38.000
football this year other than the AFC
North. I think we're gonna get the

533
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:43.039
same amount because it's usually only five
or six at most of the team gets

534
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:46.199
in a season, and usually it's
the Super Bowl winner that gets the sixth

535
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:51.480
to one because they usually get the
Hall of Fame game prior to the preseason,

536
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:55.840
starting for the very first preseason game. And I think the national TV

537
00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:02.519
games are going to be down only
because so much more with Amazon Prime.

538
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.800
I mean, all these side streaming
places that they're going to Let's face it,

539
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.800
you know, and I'll say this
again, I do not like this,

540
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.960
and I've made myself very clear about
this, But the opening weekend and

541
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.960
you're going to put a game in
Brazil and you're going to put that on

542
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:23.840
streaming on Peacock, and you're not
going to put that on national TV.

543
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:30.840
Yet you want all of you want
all to get into all these new markets,

544
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:35.480
but yet you don't want those of
us that are the fan to see

545
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:40.000
unless you're going to pay for extra
for streaming to see some of these played

546
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.159
in different outside the country. Let's
put it that way. Why I will

547
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:51.719
this summer because I have to renew
it in August. I'm going to get

548
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:53.960
you the link to the streaming service
I use, because it doesn't matter what

549
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:59.920
channel it's done, you get it. Mm hmm. And I'd rather say

550
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:05.639
people money exactly I want. I've
been promoting them so much. I want

551
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:08.119
them to see my show and make
me make me a deal for me to

552
00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:15.079
be sponsored by them, because I
will promote it because it's it's very economic

553
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.840
when you can get a streaming service
that for the year costs you as much

554
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:27.280
as cable does for one month with
two premium channels. Mm hmmm. I

555
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.960
hear you, I hear you.
And now you've got to pay extra with

556
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:37.880
comcasts or Exfinity as it's called.
If you want Bally Sports to watch Tiger

557
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:43.639
games because somebody got greedy at Bally
Sports and ask for too much money and

558
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:50.880
they were like bye bye. Yep. Because Exfinity is the biggest one in

559
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:54.519
second place the Spectrum, then it's
the Times Warner, right, I think,

560
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:58.920
so yeah, mm hmm, you
got Spectrum your gold. So in

561
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:00.800
other words, if you live in
Davison, which is right around the corner

562
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:07.760
from me, who has Spectrum?
Where you live up there near the tried

563
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:14.360
cities, you have Spectrum there,
you guys get Bally and Fox Sports.

564
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:24.800
Expinity's done with it. Mm hmm, I hear, I know. And

565
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:30.559
other news that broke around Detroit while
we were there that I didn't even get

566
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:36.440
a chance to mention is in Warren, the lake View Mall. It's last

567
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:42.840
day open is July first. We're
talking about them all where it was one

568
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:52.119
of the biggest ones were seeing Santa. They had Pro Sports Zone there.

569
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:55.679
That's one of the Pro Sports Zone
locations where the rookies from every team in

570
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:01.719
Detroit would go to sign apparel and
many moments and pictures and stuff that's going

571
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:08.119
to be gone. A mall rats
type of mall. Absolutely Orlando Escrabano,

572
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:12.280
And when I was a kid here
in Flint, we had one called Genesee

573
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:16.760
Valley. Now it's like it's called
Genesee Valley Center anymore. It's not called

574
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:22.039
the mall. It's it's sad.
You know, all this stuff is going

575
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:30.119
away and changing, and it's mostly
due to Amazon and all the internet stuff

576
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:35.480
that me buying stuff on team or
ordering it through Walmart dot Com is what's

577
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:42.679
hurting the retail America business. Top
shops barely have a chance anymore. Mm

578
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:46.679
hmm because they got to be races
so low they can't afford to pay people

579
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:51.000
to run it for them, so
they have to run it themselves. Mm

580
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:57.000
hmm. Yep. And the world
that we knew in the world that we

581
00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:02.880
grew up is definitely not the same
my own boostore. They are charging three

582
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:10.920
thousand a month for your rent.
Oh yeah. I used to talk with

583
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.800
one of the subway shops that was
near my branch when I worked at a

584
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:22.639
different location, and they were saying
their rent was four thousand dollars a month,

585
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:30.199
and even during COVID, which made
it really hard to make, you

586
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:36.440
know, make those dollars. So
I can only imagine mall space how much

587
00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:42.280
the premium for that is? So
my suggestion, since they're closing up quicker

588
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:47.960
than anything since speed seven eleven gotten
bed with Speedway, find a closing seven

589
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:57.719
eleven and make a bit on the
building quick, yep, because I don't

590
00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.519
care. If it's the corner a
corner lot purpose, you can draw your

591
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:07.320
business there, Orlando. A monthly
payment is probably way less than that three

592
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:13.760
thousand a month for the mall space. Oh yeah, food for thought,

593
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:20.480
Ralph, How you doing, buddy, Steelers had a great draft. You

594
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.960
guys should be much better this year. I think a lot of teams overall

595
00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:31.519
drafted pretty well. The only gim
near failing great I have is the Falcons

596
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:37.840
just because of that first round pick. They needed so much on defense and

597
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:42.760
on the old line and even another
weapon. They could have had Roma Dunze

598
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:49.519
to go with Kirk Cousins, the
pair with Drake London and then have Kyle

599
00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:52.679
Pitts as a slot receiver because he's
not a tight end. He's a receiver

600
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:58.079
and a tight ends body. Mm
hmm. I still think genetically he's related

601
00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:13.559
to Julio Jones. Wow, it's
called the end zone. If we are

602
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:16.159
good, we are a little tired. I will say I'm a little road

603
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:22.480
weary. Uh. Tuesday night,
at ten pm Eastern time, we took

604
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:29.280
off to end our vacation and we
had drove. We drove from here to

605
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:34.519
Detroit, Detroit to Niagara, Niagara
to Toronto, and so Toronto all the

606
00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:37.519
way back home to South Florida was
over twenty two hours in the car.

607
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:44.159
So that was quite the hall to
do it from Tuesday night and home last

608
00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:50.000
night. And the fact that we
both caught colds and are sick and coughing,

609
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:54.760
that didn't help any I will tell
you, normally I have a stayed

610
00:54:54.800 --> 00:55:00.519
intimidator, but because he was under
the weather, he did not drive.

611
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:06.320
Normally he drives three quarters to almost
all of it. He did not even

612
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:12.519
make it for a quarter of that
drive. So I put put my driving

613
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:15.519
pants on and gloves on. I
guess that was the longest I've ever driven,

614
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:21.000
but we made it. Andy had
to put her big girl pants.

615
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:29.880
I did. And then today I
had I had the extreme pleasure of going

616
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.519
to my vet because we when we
leave for a long period of time,

617
00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:39.559
we board our two cats, Bucky
in boots, and I can tell you

618
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:46.119
that Bucky does not like to be
boarded. Boots doesn't mind it. Bucky

619
00:55:46.239 --> 00:55:53.719
so much so that when we had
asked the vet to just come out and

620
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:00.480
he went to go get Bucky,
and Bucky Histon almost bitems. So he

621
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:07.119
had to be sedated. And so
when we went when I went to pick

622
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:15.320
him up tonight, they said that
the doc even had to help them get

623
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:20.119
him into the cage into his carrier, and when they did that, he

624
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:24.480
again did not like them. And
let's just put it to you this way.

625
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.760
Yeah, he made that very well
known. By how should I put

626
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:40.000
the defecating all over? That was
yeah, yeah, So I have a

627
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:45.559
carrier in my garage that I need
to hose completely down and I had to

628
00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:52.480
wipe down a cat and he wasn't
very happy with me. But so I

629
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:54.599
have to figure out what I'm going
to be able to do next time to

630
00:56:54.679 --> 00:57:00.679
get him. Whereas my other cat
loved all the attention and all girls coming

631
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:09.679
over and rubbing his head and the
other one Nope, that deserves yes.

632
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:16.280
And no, I did not wear
my cheese head when I was driving.

633
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:22.639
I don't think Candy is your typical
cheese head. No, I've never seen

634
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:28.039
her wear one. I have seen
her wear a jersey one, but we

635
00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:32.400
were we were just talking that we
weren't on a show because Scott doesn't like

636
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:39.039
us to wear jersey on the show. Fourteen paraphernalia. I'm lucky I get

637
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:45.480
away with my love old people.
But I do have and I wore this

638
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:50.119
during in the whole draft. I
do have a necklace that is uh,

639
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:53.639
it's gold and it's just a little
football and inside the football it says Packers.

640
00:57:55.519 --> 00:58:00.559
My mom gave me that many years
ago. So I do wear that,

641
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:06.679
but it's not very like It's not
a bling, bling type of necklace.

642
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:10.719
It's very soft. And although someone
at the draft noticed it and said,

643
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:14.360
I really let you must be a
Packers fan. And I'm like,

644
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:24.039
what gave that away exactly? But
yes, I thought it was great that

645
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:29.880
happened before we got there on day
one, while we were at media hospitality

646
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:34.960
at McAfee shows going on, and
it was when the sun first broke out

647
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:38.360
and it started to warm up,
and they did have a Packers beat writer

648
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:49.360
on as a guest and the whole
crowd Orlando, Yes, yes, it's

649
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.480
not fair. I'll get Scott the
ron bergendy whatever you guys wanted me to

650
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:59.480
get him to say, but the
whole crowd started screaming the FTP but actually

651
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:06.199
using the words at the guy.
He just grabs a mic and he turns

652
00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:10.199
on the way. Nobody goes.
Have the Lions sorright up that. You

653
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:15.559
know, I'm quite sure ESPN is
not as happy with the bat McAfee shows

654
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:24.400
as they thought they'd be. Yeah, I'm sure, but it was an

655
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:32.639
experience. I'll never forget. That's
me. But you know, you got

656
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:37.159
at the early part. You know
it's gonna be mostly Lions fans there because

657
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:40.880
the draft is here, we got
a first round pick, We're all hyped

658
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.360
up, We're ready to rock,
and so it was like ten to twenty

659
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:51.119
thousand Lions fans screaming it so loud
you could hear it through the mics in

660
00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:54.280
the studio, and you know they
try to sound proof those things to not

661
00:59:54.519 --> 01:00:01.840
have that. So I would I'm
just dying. Well, anytime, like

662
01:00:02.480 --> 01:00:07.239
any I would say, I don't. I don't remember hearing it so much

663
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:14.679
the first round picks for Minnesota or
Chicago, but anytime any packer went up

664
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:19.719
there or they were talk talking about
a packer's pick, the crowd obviously booed

665
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:23.159
got into it because obviously their arrival. But I would say as the later

666
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:29.280
rounds went on, I noticed they
were also starting to do it for some

667
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:34.119
of the Bears and some of the
Minnesota And it was most what the people

668
01:00:34.199 --> 01:00:39.760
said on the stage. It wasn't
because of the scene itself. Right when

669
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:45.280
they started letting the fans pick on
day three and they start trashing the Lions,

670
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:54.079
I'm sorry, one hundred and sixty
thousand people outnumbered the main part of

671
01:00:54.119 --> 01:00:57.920
the the rest of the guys.
I think about it. It was a

672
01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:04.320
whole sixty thousand on day one that
we're the fans there. Oh yeah,

673
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:09.840
and they bowed the Packers for even
the second round when it was Brian Blago

674
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:15.039
was up there. But you know, it's all good because it's all good

675
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:22.119
rivalry and you like to see the
the spirit. I mean, let's face

676
01:01:22.159 --> 01:01:27.920
it, they should be rooting for
their team, just like I expect none

677
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:35.920
nothing different when they go to Green
Bay next year. Each team has their

678
01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:47.480
big rivalries and they're gonna do it
so but well, Jeremy, normally we

679
01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:53.360
talk about normally one topic each on
my town. Have you prepared anything about

680
01:01:53.400 --> 01:02:00.840
your town? I want to get
into a UDFA that we picked up after

681
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:04.440
the draft, and it's somebody that
was talked about. If he wouldn't have

682
01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:07.320
got hurt, he probably would have
been a Day one or Day two pick

683
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:12.880
at center. It's Kingsley Egguacoom of
Florida, which I know Candy has seen

684
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:16.239
him before because Florida plays it in
Florida, and I know she knows who

685
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:22.119
I'm talking about. He had a
bad lower leg injury about four weeks into

686
01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:27.280
the season, and he's fully recovered
and he's passed his medicals. So the

687
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:32.079
Lions actually guaranteed him two hundred and
forty thousand of his UDFA salary. And

688
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:37.679
I only say that because when it's
that amount of money, those guys tend

689
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.480
to make the fifty three man roster. And seeing is how we don't have

690
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:45.239
just a center to back up rag
Now, I think that's the guy that

691
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:50.840
they're targeting to be the backup for
Ragnow. So Glasgow can focus at being

692
01:02:50.960 --> 01:03:02.679
left guard because Zieitler's predominantly and only
a right guard my town. Obviously,

693
01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:07.679
I said the opening of the show. We waited till a little bit later

694
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:15.880
because I was watching the Indiana Pacers
beat Ronckey Bucks in the NBA playoffs sprout.

695
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:21.280
But what I want to get down
to and what I want to talk

696
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:30.440
about is I want it's time for
on all of the sports, for the

697
01:03:31.519 --> 01:03:40.000
refs, umpires, you name it, for them to get their heads in

698
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:45.079
the game and to be making the
right calls because some of the calls all

699
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:52.559
seem have been so controversial. In
fact, there was a call in Brewers

700
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:59.880
versus Yankees the other day that the
league came back after the fact and said

701
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.599
that was the wrong call against the
Brewers and it went in favor of none

702
01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:15.360
other Aaron Judge. And until we
can stop the biases and giving these extremely

703
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:27.239
overpaid players the benefit of the doubt
too much or overcompensating, it's just sad.

704
01:04:28.239 --> 01:04:32.360
It's sad that some of these calls
are coming down to and making such

705
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:39.239
a and we can talk about how
they make they change the course of a

706
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:42.920
game, and oh but it doesn't
come down to one call because there was

707
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:47.559
how many of their plays, But
it can really change the direction of a

708
01:04:47.679 --> 01:04:53.519
team and their mentality. And I
even saw it tonight some in the Bucks

709
01:04:53.599 --> 01:05:00.400
game, and I'm like, are
you kidding me? And I know I'm

710
01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:04.639
all for my team and obviously I'm
going to be a little more biased,

711
01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:09.239
but we've seen it even in the
NFL some of these games, some of

712
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:14.679
these umpires are refs not making the
right call. We've seen it in baseball,

713
01:05:14.719 --> 01:05:17.039
We've seen it in basketball, we
see it in hockey. I don't

714
01:05:17.079 --> 01:05:20.440
know what the answer is baseball.
I mean, they're getting to the point

715
01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:28.239
where robot robot umps. Is that
the answer? I don't know. You

716
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:31.559
know, and you know what's funny
is it actually works. They used it

717
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:34.760
in the minor leagues in the Double
A, Single A, and Triple A,

718
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:42.280
using the computer to call. It's
a computers camera. That's special.

719
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:51.079
Mm hmm, it actually is,
and they can use it to overturn turn

720
01:05:51.159 --> 01:05:56.159
an ump It's just a matter of
time before it's going to start being used

721
01:05:56.199 --> 01:05:59.679
in the major leagues because you know
what, they're tired of the gym West

722
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:05.719
calling a ball that's across the plate
outside fall four right, or just the

723
01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:11.159
opposite if it's the opposing team,
a ball that's a foot off the plate

724
01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:15.159
and call a strike blatantly missing it. And Jim West is one of the

725
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:21.039
worst at it. Yep, I
agree, but that Kay is starting to

726
01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:25.880
get it right. Because they have
their to get the white guys for the

727
01:06:25.960 --> 01:06:30.000
playoffs every year, they have to
be x amount of percent accurate or better

728
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:34.639
on their regular season games. That's
a step in the right direction. And

729
01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:40.440
the fact that they do have replay
now in the NBA, so if the

730
01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:42.800
refs think they got it wrong,
if one of them says, hey,

731
01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:45.199
that's not what I saw, they
get together and they watch the replay and

732
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:49.679
they correct it. The problem is
you're not always going to have a ref

733
01:06:49.800 --> 01:06:56.519
see when a guy makes the wrong
call exactly. There should be coaches challenges

734
01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:00.159
in the NBA as well, because
if they can review it, then you

735
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:05.119
should be able to call for it. Well. They are allowed what I

736
01:07:05.199 --> 01:07:12.119
think it's two because I saw tonight
the Indiana Pacers coach did use I think

737
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:15.159
it was twice, and I think
that's the max, right. I think

738
01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:18.760
they need to have the new rule
that Dan Campbell and Sheila hamp got him

739
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:23.280
invoked in the NFL. If you
get it right in the first half,

740
01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:28.079
you get an extra one in the
second half. And there's certain things that

741
01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:31.239
if the refs can review it to
get it right, then the coaches should

742
01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:35.280
be able to call the review to
get it right right. I don't like

743
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:41.119
that because there are times when an
interception is called and they say it's automatically

744
01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:45.159
reviewed, and we can watch the
review and see they got the call wrong,

745
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:50.159
and they still uphold the call,
and I'm sorry, I'm not watching

746
01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:55.039
it in a screen that's right here
within an inch of my face, with

747
01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:59.000
everything blacked out around me, So
that's all I get to see. If

748
01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:05.079
I can see it on my ch
TV across the twenty foot room. They

749
01:08:05.079 --> 01:08:08.559
should be able to see it on
a twelve inch screen that's up to their

750
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:17.439
eyeballs. If they can't, they
need their eyes check exactly anything else showing

751
01:08:17.520 --> 01:08:21.920
you try every day to be a
better person than you've heard the day before.

752
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:25.359
It's the only way to make the
world a better place. It starts
