WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.079 Give me everybody and let's get fired up. This is fire up. My 2 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.079 name is Scott Morgan, enough Motor City mad Mouth, pleaded to be joined 3 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.119 by Candy Emling, Leo Haggerty and Ralph Williams. Glad to have everybody here 4 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:40.359 with me tonight. So that so that said, giving over you, We're 5 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.439 going to talk about We're going to talk about the NBA playoffs, talk about 6 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.600 the Stanley Cup Finals, We're going to talk about Pittsburgh getting the NFL draft, 7 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:53.399 and Candy will have her normal nine town segment which she has created and 8 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.039 it's actually working out really well. So if that said, let's get right 9 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:02.359 to it. So NBA playoff history, teams that trail three to nothing in 10 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.079 the best of seven series are zero and one fifty six. Doesn't look good 11 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.640 for the Dallas Nevericks, does it, Candy eu Bling, it does not. 12 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.400 And with all the injuries they've had and Luca, I mean, he 13 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.799 can't carry the team by himself. Celtics are playing hot, they're playing good 14 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:26.840 defense, and they're hitting shots. They're just they're on fire. So it's 15 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.760 just tough. And I don't see Dallas. I don't even know if they'll 16 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.040 even get one win. Honestly, no, Jason Kidd has done a good 17 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.560 job all year coaching the team up, done a really good job in the 18 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.120 playoffs. But this Boston team, to me, is a buzzsaw and they're 19 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:49.359 looking for win Championship number eighteen. They'll turn over to Leo Haggerty. I'll 20 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:56.719 tell you what, guys, I was just amazed with how bad a defender 21 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:04.239 Luca is and the Celtics at him unmercifully. They just kept running high picking 22 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:10.039 rolls till Luca had to come cover somebody, and they just exposed him terribly 23 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:19.199 as a low class defender that either stan't or won't play defense. And believe 24 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.039 me, the way he was shooting last night from five to six feet away, 25 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.520 he couldn't even throw it in the ocean. He was a liability for 26 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.560 the Dallas Mavericks. When he fouled out, I said to myself, Hey, 27 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.919 now they got a shot to win because they don't have to worry about 28 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.319 him defending nobody. And the worst thing is the announcers are saying, oh, 29 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.719 there's nobody to help there. The guy's six foot nine. He didn't 30 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.039 need any help. He just needs to move his feet. Oh yeah, 31 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.400 go ahead, ro Well, Chase the kid needs to get his team up 32 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.840 up the speed here. I mean, if they're down three to nothing and 33 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.120 you know so and they're playing bad defense, like Leo said in The Wonder, 34 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.560 Boston's up three to nothing, and you know, but Boston has just 35 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.039 been on fire like you here on the Fire Up Show here, and you 36 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.919 know, they're doing what they need to do to win. And that's a 37 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.159 great thing. They got a good young coach and you know, they're just 38 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.719 they're pois to win it. I think they're gonna take it well. You 39 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.800 know, Joan Missoula has done a really good job. He really is. 40 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.159 I was thinking I was hoping though that Kyrie Irving would be a little bit 41 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.919 more of a factor in the series than he is. But I just think 42 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.639 what you have in this series is the fact that the Dallas Mavericks are simply 43 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.520 overmatched. They really really are overmatch I mean, it's Boston teams hungary. 44 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.719 You know, going into the year, in the last five years, they 45 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:45.000 had won forty one playoff games but didn't have anything to show for it. 46 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.000 So you know, they're overmatched, and Joan Missoula is a good young coach, 47 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.199 and you know, on the heels of the fact that this guy he 48 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.360 keeps coaching the way he is. The sky's the limit for the Celtics. 49 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.680 All right, well, let's go to the frozen tod Teams that fall behind 50 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.479 zero to two in the Stanley Cup Finals are five and forty nine all time. 51 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.520 So all right, Candy, you know, this one I think for 52 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.879 the Oilers is even going to be tougher because I really don't see them winning 53 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.800 the series. They're not shooting as much. They've only made one goal in 54 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:25.199 two games, and I honestly think the travel is going to play a big 55 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.319 It can play a part in this series because traveling twenty five hundred and forty 56 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.600 one miles. You know, once they do the two games, they did 57 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.560 the two games in Florida, and now they're doing the two games up in 58 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.920 Toronto, and then they go one one one, and I think that's just 59 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.360 going to be too much. And like I said, forbos, as long 60 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:50.399 as Sergey Barbowski keeps playing at the level that he is, the Panthers I 61 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.680 think are going to be unbeatable. Well you, no, Candy, I 62 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.279 realize that you have Toronto on your mind, but it is Edmonton just so 63 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.639 you know in Canada. Yeah, yeah, that's okay, Candy. Hey, 64 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.920 she just had her first trip to Toronto and she can't get over what 65 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.720 a great town Toronto is. And she got to realize that there's more to 66 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.759 Canada than Toronto. You got Montreal, you got Edmonton, you got Calgary, 67 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.639 you got Vancouver, you have Winnipeg for poodles along. But but anyways, 68 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.600 yeah, no, I'm just giving a hard time, Leo. How 69 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.319 do you tie up the Stanley Cup Finals? That's the only thing that the 70 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:40.360 Edmonton Oilers are I think honestly is igor ssttin. That's what they're messn Leam. 71 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:46.000 Well, let's be honest here a couple of things. One series doesn't 72 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.680 begin till a visiting game wins the game. And that's why last night was 73 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.759 still important with the Dallas Boston series, right came into Dallas and one now 74 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.639 Florida come into Edmonton and win. You know, people won't talk about this, 75 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.600 but there's a little bit of an elevation issue right as well. So 76 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.199 we're gonna see how these Florida kids that are having playing at sea level all 77 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.279 the time. Plus, Scott, I want you to talk about this before 78 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:23.839 I go on is Miami still underwater because these guys are up a worried about 79 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:29.040 it. Well, what's put it this way, Leo. I'm glad to 80 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.160 be in Deerfield bed So Miami's underwater, they're underwater, and I'm above water. 81 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.879 So I know about the warming. You know, all that business that 82 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.000 Miami will sink before we will. But I'll take Broward County all day long. 83 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.879 Really well, Leo, I really want to give you, to give 84 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.160 you an idea. We live about thirty minutes away from Hollywood, Florida, 85 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:56.839 and Hollywood, Florida, in the last seventy two hours got nineteen point ninety 86 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.079 five inches of water, so, yes, a lot of but Florida can 87 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.839 absorb it. You know that that's the one thing that Yes, it'll rain 88 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.000 a lot and for a short time there's a lot of water under you know, 89 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.720 and you could be underwater. You got to be careful driving on the 90 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.319 roads. But then the water does go down and you're okay. So you 91 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.360 know, it's not like some of these the towns that it's all clay and 92 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.560 the water just sits. That water, you know, gets absorbed into the 93 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.959 sandy soil. Yeah, we got hillsides here and when it rains and it 94 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.560 goes down the hillsides, we have to close roads up, concrete starts falling. 95 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.839 I mean we've had minds or subsiding roads. I mean it's been bad 96 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.560 when we've had heavy rain like that. Yeah, you know that we don't 97 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.000 even get that kind of rain during a hurricane. What they got, I 98 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.040 mean that was that was just bizarre. But you know the second thing is, 99 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:56.360 and Kendy you brought this upg Brabrowsky is just standing on his head. 100 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.680 I mean, think about this. Now, there's probably the best offensive team 101 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.839 with McDavid and Drysdale. You know, he had one hundred assists and all 102 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.319 they got his one goal and the one goal they got was on the first 103 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:18.639 shot in the second game, So they haven't scored pretty much for one hundred 104 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.480 and nineteen minutes. Babrowski has shut him down, and he did the same 105 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:31.720 thing to the Rangers. Was the reason why they were seriously and again Skinner's 106 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:37.159 not playing bad, but he's not playing as well as Bobrowski. Well, 107 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.240 I mean saying that. Tony McDavid, to me, he was a generational 108 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.440 player, without a doubt, and the Edmonton Oilers in Game one played a 109 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.039 great game. They had the Panthers on their heels. And again I'll go 110 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.080 back to you, said Leo. Lebroski is a reason that the Panthers were 111 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.879 able to win that game anyway. But Toner McDavid is who he is. 112 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.159 But you know, in a series like this, you always end up having, 113 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.120 you know, guys that stepped up. I believe that guy Rodrigez. 114 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:15.440 I'm trying to remember what his first name is, Evan Z. Well what 115 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.159 Evan Rodrigez is certainly making a name for himself here in the playoffs, much 116 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.039 less than the Stanley Cup Finals, that's for sure. All right. Well, 117 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.279 since you know about him, Ralph and your thoughts about the Stanley Cup 118 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.879 Finals. Well, you know Florida, let me say this about Florida. 119 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.919 They have always been a scrappy team. Remember last season they came back, 120 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.679 they were like lasting in the league of getting in the playoff spot, and 121 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.879 they ended up getting into the finals. Again, Florida has always been a 122 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.440 scrappy team. And the problem with Everton is they only have McDavid really for 123 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.720 real, I mean, and if you shut him down, the whole team's 124 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.919 just collapses. And you can't do that. You gotta have other players. 125 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.159 You gotta have people to come up, Like you said, Scott, you 126 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.879 gotta have other players that need to come up and fill in whenever McDavid's having 127 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.360 a bad game, you know. So you know, that's like trying to 128 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.039 have a quarterback throw the same wide receiver in the NFL and then and you 129 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.120 know that wide receiver kids dropping and you gotta throw it to another wide receiver. 130 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.639 So what I'm saying is you've got to have players to step up and 131 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.759 and and that's what's going on with Edmonton right now. And you know, 132 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.240 and Florida is just you know, just doing it. I mean, you 133 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.919 know, and and they're taking it to him too. Well, here's the 134 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.840 thing. I predicted the Panthers would meet Edmonton in seven games. If this 135 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.960 thing goes four or five, I will volunteer on the external Bumk Show to 136 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.679 call myself a bum I won't do that. I won't do that. I 137 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.200 have Scott. I'm just happy you didn't say you were going to come on 138 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.759 naked, So I'm no a candy. You're welcome on Saturday. We don't 139 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.720 have a fourth person if you want to come on nine am. Unfortunately, 140 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.279 I have to work this Saturday, But are you working at the bank? 141 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:03.360 Okay? I will definitely volunteer to call myself a bum if this thing doesn't 142 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.240 go seven. So I have a feeling that I'm going to be calling myself 143 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.799 a bum. And that's all there is to it. So when we look 144 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.480 up the NDYA playoffs and the Stanley Cup, I'm missed a mazo that these 145 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.720 unrelulable statistics. And I'm going to reiterate one more time. Then we're going 146 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.519 to go to a station break so that you're talking, Oh, in fifty 147 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.639 six when a team trails three, all I mean never been done before. 148 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.399 And then if that isn't good enough, oh and two means five and forty 149 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.320 nine. We all those numbers are really good for honestly, folks, and 150 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.480 for those that are paying attention watching us here on the network. All these 151 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.039 numbers between five and forty nine, zero and one fifty six, zero and 152 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.600 two three, you know, go and got yourself a state lottery ticket, 153 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.600 please, people, these are good numbers. These are numbers that you don't 154 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.960 even think of. I've got here. Go out there and take a show, 155 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:01.519 even for a dollar. We can't hurt it. And they gas way 156 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.279 more than that anyway, or whenever they're charging somehow. I mean, but 157 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.879 that's don't why. I mean, let's face say, the Dallas Mavericks and 158 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:16.440 the Edmonton others are in trouble. I like my deep better than we love 159 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.679 that too. So that's that we're going to station Plak Candy ably go ahead. 160 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.600 So tonight's show is sponsored by the Self Florida Tribune Publishing Company, which 161 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.480 published a book that Scott wrote last November.

And 182 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.840 in fact, she was so happy the way it went. She texted me 183 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.519 and wanted the show so she can use it for a reason. But you 184 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.679 know, and I think the one thing that doesn't get addressed a lot is 185 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.639 women in sports. And I have a young student that's working under me. 186 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.600 Your name is Kate Hison, who you'll start to hear more of as time 187 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.080 goes on. She's developing right now and she's doing a good job. But 188 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.679 I'm keeping her, you know, grinding to build her social media account and 189 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.399 do little things. So that's the thing you'll get to hear. I can 190 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.080 tell you right now where I go. On Thursday night, Leo Haggerty goes. 191 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.200 So Leo and I are linked on Thursday night when I'm not on this 192 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.519 chair, Candy, Ralph and Jeremy Bulwrick will be doing the fire Up Show 193 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.200 on that night. We have a professor and the pupil that could be on 194 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.200 that night and no filter. We're not sure where it's going to land. 195 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.240 So there's a lot of things to go, but I know Leo and I 196 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.360 will be on a lot and I'm glad that he's a part of the network 197 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.360 as well. Last thing I'm going to talk about then we're going to turn 198 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.200 over to Candy Pittsford is going to host the NFL Draft and twenty twenty take 199 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:05.840 presented by Bud Light. So and that's a story that appeared in the California 200 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.120 Tribune I May twenty second. Well, you know what we'll go to our 201 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.399 resident Pittsburgh expert. All right, Ralph, are they pretty excited about hosting 202 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.519 the NFL Draft? Very excited, Scott. You know, our mayor here 203 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.320 and and you know, our elected officials went out and really pushed for Pittsburgh 204 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.919 to get this. I'm happy that they have or it's going to be here 205 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.919 in Pittsburgh because we need this kind of an event here in order. And 206 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.639 then our mayor went up to Detroit to see what they did to h to 207 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.720 make it what it was there and so and then he he just got back 208 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.639 not too long ago from talking to Detroit officials up there. They gave him 209 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.759 some pointers and tips as to how to handle security and things like that for 210 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.200 the event. It's going to be great for this area. It's going to 211 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.600 be great for Western Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh is building some new hotels anyway. We 212 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.360 got about five new ones going up anyhow, so we're going to have enough 213 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.559 hotel space, I think to handle this. I've been around big events, 214 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.960 and I used to work event security, and I know what it is to 215 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.399 be around big events. And let me tell you, this is one of 216 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.960 the biggest events in the history of this town. I think other than you 217 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.759 know some We've had the Winter Classic here and some other stuff here, but 218 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.679 I mean, this is the biggest one I think of them all, and 219 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.200 it's one of it's the most watched TV program or you know, the NFL 220 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.960 Drafts is very high ratings. Everybody watches it. I watch it from Thursday 221 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.519 all the way to Saturday, and I don't miss a beat. Very good. 222 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.399 Okay, Hey, well looking, Jeremy is here in the term okay, 223 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.159 and we're gonna mention his comments, and so you know, Jeremy, 224 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.679 Okay, as I said before, if you were listening when I'm not in 225 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:56.039 this here, chare title the you candy Ins and Ralph as well, so 226 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.559 you don't have to worry about it. So let's put it. Let's go 227 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.320 ahead and put his comments off, Katie, go and read him. Please. 228 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.079 It's hard for any playoffs behind the over and two or zero three eight 229 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.480 ball. The one team who did was the Red Sox who beat the Yankees. 230 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.960 But not in those other sports. Basketball and hockey are a different animal. 231 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.720 Well, I mean, and that's exactly what that tool stat was all 232 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.880 about. Anyways. So but I'm glad you brought up the Yankees and the 233 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.440 Red Sox. There's a lot of people thought the Red Sox were gone. 234 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.599 That was the year they snapped at it. Lorde Jane says, well, 235 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.960 okay, so Leo, wish your take on Pittsford getting the draft, because 236 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:40.839 let's take the reality. Okay, Detroit now has set the bar high they 237 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.799 have and green Bay gets it next year. I'll be curious to see how 238 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.720 that is. I know you're talking about. Yes, yeah, well let's 239 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.880 thanks it. Green Bay is now following detroit footsteps in this game. Detroit 240 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.799 is over shadowed by green Bay everywhere, but the NFL Draft and Detroit put 241 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.839 on a good show with that. Said alternaiy, Leo, you know what, 242 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.640 Scott, you just stole my thunder because that's exactly what I was going 243 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.240 to say. That bar is set so high after what they did, and 244 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:14.039 it is just crazy how many people they had there. Yeah, I don't 245 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.279 think they have that many people in Green Bay. I had to bring in 246 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:23.759 the entire state of Wisconsin into Green Bay just just to get that kind of 247 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:33.240 numbers. But again, it's truly a television event that people look forward to 248 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.200 seeing the draft, and it's just crazy. Let me tell you, if 249 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.759 I go back to my old Dames. Okay, covering the Lions, I 250 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.359 was staying different hotels all the time, one when when one had to walk 251 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:51.480 and when I'm in Appleton, and me when I was going to different places 252 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.759 within an a way, so I never knew where the Lions hotel was. 253 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.680 But I stayed with Detroit Lions because I their PR people took in my travel 254 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.440 arrangement, so there was always a ministery where we're going to go, and 255 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.759 I got the team rate and all that. But still, but I'll tell 256 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.200 you what. Remember I went to a Super Bowl when Jacksonville hosted it, 257 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:17.359 and they talked about it in Cruisiers and that was a disaster. Luckily for 258 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.359 me though I had a decent sized vehicle and stayed in the rest areas at 259 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.039 that time. And I said, and I went to a truck stop and 260 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.279 asked one guy if you could go ahead and let me use the shell hour 261 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.279 and I said, I'm meant to deal with you. I'll get you some 262 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.799 memorabilia from the game. He's going to use a shower free for the money. 263 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.279 There no problem, man, this is what I'll be. And that 264 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.920 way I kind of worked out. You had to make the most of it. 265 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.799 Yeah, tell me you're right. Red Sox snapped for eighty six World 266 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.519 Series drought that year after. We're going with it. But back to my 267 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.160 story year. Okay, so you know these smaller towns getting big events, 268 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.759 but green Bay deserved this one. They really did. When we think of 269 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.119 a youngster, okay going out there and getting his name called and nat town. 270 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.519 But you know what, Candy evil sho, I hope I'm not still 271 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.599 too much of a go ahead, Candy. Well, you guys can all 272 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.519 talk about it. I'm the one that lived the closest to there, And 273 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:12.319 yes, are they gonna have a hard time with hotels? Absolutely, But 274 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:22.359 how can the NFL draft not go to such an iconic venue? Where else? 275 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.519 What other venue is more iconic in the NFL other than lambeau Field? 276 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:34.319 I mean they play for the Lombardi Trophy. Oh yeah, I mean, 277 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.319 and I get it, Like, are we gonna have the same crowds that 278 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:45.920 Detroit had? No, green Bay is not that big of a city like 279 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:53.039 Detroit is. Detroit has windsor just across you know, the lake. So 280 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.680 there's a lot more hotels there. There's a lot more places, but no 281 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:04.200 place can be more so whether we break attendance records or not. There's no 282 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.839 better place, I don't think than the Green Bay to have it at least 283 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:11.640 once. I'm not saying they've got to have it every year. I like 284 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:18.759 the fact that it rotates every city it because I think every fan base deserves 285 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:23.160 to be able to view that on that on a national stage. Oh, 286 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.599 I'm gonna face it. I mean, if you haven't been to landbow Field, 287 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.200 it should be a bucket list for everybody. I was fortunate myself to 288 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.759 cover the lines. I went there multiple times. I loved it. It 289 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.480 was hard for me to cover games in Milwaukee County Stadium, though to watch 290 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.759 football hell an easy. So let's go back to Newcap plighting. I certainly 291 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.680 have some comments about what he just put up there. So he's gonna have 292 00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.079 him great fish lined up for interviews over the next few weeks and a big 293 00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.079 event de Troy on August only six. Let me give you some good words 294 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.839 of advice, new Cat playing for a guy that's been in the business forever. 295 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.000 I mean, you can write nice, clean cut stories and get them 296 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.599 on the tribune. I will be impressed, But you have to write stories 297 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.279 to impress me and you have to meet them as clean as possible, and 298 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.839 we will edit them so you look even better. So write stories, turn 299 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.559 those into ideas and put them on paper. Okay. You know, if 300 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.720 you want to become don king, you want to promote your activity, make 301 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:21.279 sure that it's worth promoting, okay, and then you'll have to give updates 302 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.839 on when you're on this platform A couple of times a loth with Candy and 303 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:30.079 Ralso impress me, Jeremy and write because the best journalist slash podcasters, whatever 304 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.519 you want to call it, are writers, right Leo. Once't you agree? 305 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.599 Absolutely? I mean everybody asked me, you know, how did you 306 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.240 get into this business? I said, I'm a coach. You can put 307 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.960 together a five sentence paragraph, right exactly. That's the bottom line. You 308 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:52.519 know. You talk all you want, but the written word is something that 309 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:59.279 people will always have and have to paint a picture. I keep telling people 310 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.039 want to get into this business, you better be a wordsmith because if you're 311 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.200 not a wordsmith, you got problems because you've got to be able to sit 312 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:15.960 there. And I like John for Senda with when he did NFL films, 313 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.359 you know, the frozen tundra of Lambeau feel, you know, the you 314 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.279 know, the winds of winter. You got to be able to paint a 315 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.880 picture for these people. And so Jeremy said, where do you think I'll 316 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.920 be sending the interviews. I'll tell you what. You won't be sending in 317 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.559 to the Hollywood Son Tatler because they're out of business. You won't be sending 318 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.559 them to the Mini News. And and Jeremy, you know, maybe you 319 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.599 might want to let these places know who the publisher is in this story, 320 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:47.359 because you obviously laid an egg on the laugh one. Okay, because in 321 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.440 life when you mentioned a name of a title, and I'm just like hitting 322 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.359 around with Jeremy, I really do, because he handles it real well. 323 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.079 But in life, right Leo that when we mentioned a title, don't you 324 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:02.640 think that a name goes with that? You would think? So, yeah, 325 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.640 well, you know, they call it a byline for a reason. 326 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.160 Okay, that's who's writing the story. But they call it a title for 327 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.680 a reason too, because it's got to grab you exactly. Yeah. So 328 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.200 journalism one on one, okay, for everybody out there that's learning the business. 329 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.160 If I write vice President of the United States and I leave a blank, 330 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.599 who the heck is going to know who it is. So it's always 331 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:33.279 a wise idea to insert that name next to the title and that that particular 332 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.559 point that is journalism one on one. I will leave it at that. 333 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.599 But I'm sure you'll be promoting your work, and I'm sure you're doing it 334 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.799 for everyone, Jeremy. But I'm just trying to give you some advice, 335 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.720 Okay, I really am, And I got news for you, you know. 336 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.279 And he's doing with the company for a while. You know, he 337 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.039 trives hard. Got to give him his due. Did a super job over 338 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.359 at the draft when he was broadcasting all over the place to his cronies with 339 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.319 he can't biting. You know, he was doing all right. But no, 340 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.480 just a little journalism etiquette, okay, Jeremy, And we'll leave it 341 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.680 at that. So any other thoughts about the draft and all. I always 342 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.759 talked about green Bay Detroit being a tough one to follow, and I think 343 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.880 Pittsburgh. But the thing about Pittsborg and green Bay, Okay, that I 344 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.200 always like to mention is you have those areas where where you have a lot 345 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:23.200 of championship football that has been played. You have I mean, the Steelers 346 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:27.000 won what five six Super Bowls. Green Bay won a few, and that 347 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.920 doesn't count the billions of NFL championships they won before you got to the Super 348 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.279 Bowl area and anything. You have Chuck Noll, you have Bill Tower, 349 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:40.920 Mike Tomlin, you got Vince Lombardi, you know, to say the least 350 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.319 I would say, Mike home run. And you got some pretty good Coachmarty 351 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.920 Mick McCarthy. That I mean, you have a lot of football history there 352 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:53.359 for sure. So any closing thoughts about the draft from anybody tell you what 353 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.319 people better learn. If it's going to be in Green Bay, you better 354 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:03.039 learn how to spell ass Labanon. You better learn how to spell you better 355 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.960 then how to spell dor County. Because if you go up to Green Bay 356 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:15.200 and you don't go up to Dort County, you are cheating yourself because it's 357 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:23.960 just it's it's a wonderland of just environmental change. You can go from Madison 358 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:30.960 to Green Bay and all of a sudden you think you're in a different world, 359 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.119 and then you go up to Doork County and you know you're in a 360 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:40.119 different world, right, Candy, You bet you bet. Different conson are 361 00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:44.720 beautiful in different ways, and there's a lot of different you know, Lacrosse 362 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:51.920 almost the up like and definitely Door County is beautiful. Lake Geneva is beautiful, 363 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.759 and they're all very different. Yeah, I'll tell you one thing you 364 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.039 want to come to, uh Wisconsin. I'm don't time to figure out how 365 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.839 to pronounce all them Indian names. I'm really not I'm really green at that, 366 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:08.359 you know so, but my wife definitely finds a way to make sure 367 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:14.240 that she lets you know what they are, because I don't really know much 368 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.640 about them things, but it is what it is. I grew up in 369 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:23.079 the Hiawatha Estates on Pocahontas Drive. There was Tepee Court, Red Cloud Court, 370 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:30.000 Hiawatha, Fanny how All of those names were street names in the subdivision. 371 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:37.039 Which way to Chipwraw cours right exactly, all right? So I do 372 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.759 want to pass along a birthday green that just came across the wire services. 373 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.279 My brother in law, Tracy Olsen, has a birthday. Don't know how 374 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.359 old he is. I'm really not worry so, so happy birthday, Tracy. 375 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.400 It'll be up to Candy to convey this any group message, because unfortunately 376 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.599 Tracy hasn't subscribed to the Southward to Tribute YouTube channel, so he won't be 377 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.960 able to hear it there, but you'll hear it in the group chat. 378 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.920 So happy birthday, Tracy. More power to you. I hope you have 379 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.519 many anymore. And Jeremy, we have a trick question here for you. 380 00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.680 Who is a publisher of the South Florida Tribune. Okay, we'll give you 381 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:12.799 to the end of the show to go ahead and figure it out. Okay, 382 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:19.799 all right, so that's okay. I'm sure he'll figure it out. 383 00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:22.960 Okay. So so all right, with that said, we're gonna turn over 384 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.960 the candy. She has this original segment called my Town, and I'm going 385 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.119 to get my mic over to her. Go ahead, Candy, take it 386 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.759 away. So my segment is my town, and what that means is you 387 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:40.519 talk about what's happening in either the town you live in or the town that 388 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:45.119 you grew up in, whichever you would prefer. So I did all of 389 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.480 my fire up shows. I created it. I don't know how long ago. 390 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.440 It seems to sick and everybody loves to talk about something proud. It 391 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.200 doesn't even have to be sports related if you don't want it to, but 392 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.519 it can be. Ralph, I know you've done this numerous times start with 393 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:04.720 you, Oh yeah, thank you, Candy. You know, let's talk 394 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.960 about the Steelers a little bit with mini camp. You know, the Russell 395 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:12.839 Wilson Justin Fields saga's going on right now. Naujie Harris not showing up on 396 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.640 media Day. Took the day off because he was stuck in the media, 397 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.440 according to what I've told from my friends, because he doesn't want anyone to 398 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.559 talk about his contract dispute with the Steelers right now. They didn't pick up 399 00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:30.240 his fifth year option. And you know, the number one draft picks doing 400 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.119 well. But it's just mini camp right now. We have to wait and 401 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.079 see what happens in training camp, preseason, in the regular season before we 402 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.559 can do this. And a big thing here has been the Mike Tomlin extension. 403 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.079 You know, does he deserve it? I don't know, you know, 404 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.720 but there are a lot of people here. Some people think he don't, 405 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.599 other people think he does. I think this will be his last contract. 406 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.920 That's just my opinion. My co host, smoking Jim Frazier's worked with 407 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.200 him side by side when he worked for the Steelers, and Mike Tomlin told 408 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:04.279 him he will never go on TV. So we have national people wide here 409 00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:07.519 saying, well, he'll go to TV after this contract. No, he 410 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:12.319 said he'll never go to TV, but then again others have said that and 411 00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.920 they went to TV anyway. So we'll see what Mike Tomlin does. But 412 00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.119 I think this is going to be his last contract because it'll be twenty years 413 00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:25.400 and I think he wants to His kids are grown, you know, grandkids 414 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.640 are going to be coming, and I think he's going to want to spend 415 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.400 time with them and things like that. So I see him going twenty years 416 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.880 and that's it. But this I believe will be his last contract. But 417 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.680 you know, I'm happy he got it. I've called him mediocre Mike for 418 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.759 a long time. But we'll see what he does. He has three more 419 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.680 years to do so. But also, you know, like you said, 420 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.240 Scott, we're getting ready for the NFL Draft twenty twenty six. Stuff that's 421 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.920 getting started with that, and you know we have you know, the Pirates. 422 00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:57.960 They blew it today, but they've been hanging in there doing pretty well 423 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.039 in a week division and I think they're gonna do okay and get some things 424 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:08.039 done. Candy Rowdy Kaled has actually started picking up things in the last month 425 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.640 or so, so you know, I think they were getting ready to trade 426 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.200 him. The trade deadline's coming up. We're gonna see what happens, what 427 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:19.000 the Pirates do in the trade deadline. They've done some strange things in the 428 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.039 All Star Game. We're gonna see what happens after the All Star Game. 429 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.279 The Pirates seem to have seemed to fall except last year they did pretty pretty 430 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.480 good after the All Star Game. So we'll see how that goes. And 431 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.960 you know, the pit Panthers, on the other hand, just got a 432 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:38.759 couple of three star recruits for football and they're getting ready for their season coming 433 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.839 up in August for training camp. So we're gonna find out where they go 434 00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:47.839 this year. I'm predicting eight and four. Again, that's about as far 435 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:51.119 as pick can go, I think with Pat and Ordoosey. And we'll see 436 00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:55.119 where that all goes as well. And that's about it for me in Pittsburgh. 437 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.079 That's about it. You know what you just did there. I'm gonna 438 00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:01.200 tell you exactly what you just did. You want rough information to fill up 439 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:06.440 a two to three minute newscasters, which is all is what they're all allowy 440 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.319 on local TV. But you know what it was. Good. It's a 441 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.200 firm one. For the first time I've heard that, So I give you 442 00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:21.119 a problem, Sir William's Okay, two or three minute newscast presented by Rough 443 00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.519 Williams. All Right, I know by time I've been on the radio, 444 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:28.279 so you know, we got to go to a commercial break and all that 445 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.160 stuff, so I know by the time, Yeah, to get it in, 446 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:34.720 you know, Yeah, you're preaching to the choir pals. Okay, 447 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.359 you ahead, Leo, what's happening in your first of all, tell us 448 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:44.759 everybody, what you're telling is that you this is going to be like you 449 00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:50.799 can't make this story up. I was born in mock Chunk, Pennsylvania, 450 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:54.240 And you're going, where the heck is that, Well, I'll give you 451 00:32:54.319 --> 00:33:01.000 the name. It became Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. So yeah, that's where 452 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:07.960 the great Indian athlete, Jim Hort was buried. He was finally his remains 453 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:15.240 were removed and taken back to Oklahoma. But I actually grew up in a 454 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:23.480 town named after Jim Thorpe, who was probably the greatest athlete in terms of 455 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:30.599 what he could do football, baseball. In fact, because he played semi 456 00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:36.559 pro baseball, it cost him his Decathlon gold medal because they said he was 457 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:40.720 a pro. Well think about how crazy that is. But now the town, 458 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:50.559 which basically is in the anthracite coal region and was just going south in 459 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:57.599 a hurry, now because of the whitewater rafting down the Lehigh River and because 460 00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:02.519 of the old train state where they run the steam engine trains on the weekend, 461 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.039 this town is starting to thrive. So yeah, I was born and 462 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.880 raised in jim Thorpe, went to New Jersey. But I'll tell you what, 463 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.519 if you get a chance to go to jim Thorpe, you'll enjoy it. 464 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:22.760 They call it the Switzerland of America because it sits right between the mountains 465 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:31.079 and mock Chunk is Indian for bear Mountain. Look at that nice Scott. 466 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:37.400 Yeah that's my name. Of course, Motherer City matt Mouth is as well 467 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.320 as south Work Tribute. All right, you know what I'm gonna You know 468 00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:44.960 what I do? You know? Lesson from the microphone Part two. I 469 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.159 have to give credit to my friends over at inter Miami because they've done something 470 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:53.039 this year that I've seen that I never thought I would ever imagine in my 471 00:34:53.159 --> 00:35:00.639 lifetime. Or sitting in a press conference afterwards and the coach doesn't speak English, 472 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:07.280 and I'm thinking, O MG, Siri is Lee. So what I'm 473 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.960 gonna have to do is either I start speaking Spanish and I'll probably never happen, 474 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:16.440 or you know what, I'm just gonna write a chapter in there and 475 00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:20.400 say, you know, a new way to go out there and attend a 476 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.719 press conference. And yet we're recording this stuff on YouTube and I'm still getting 477 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:29.440 four at least three to four interviews anyway. So in my opinion in Miami, 478 00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:34.440 I want to thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to add 479 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.079 another dimension of my book about being bilingual, because that I am anything but 480 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:44.800 okay, But you know what I mean, I'm just looking at this thing. 481 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.360 So I told one of the PR guys they listen to that here's what 482 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.119 we got to do with Coach Martino. I need to go ahead and take 483 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.039 a picture with this guy the next time I'm here, Okay, and then 484 00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:00.440 I have a picture and lessons from the microphone with Muhamma. Well, we 485 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:06.639 all know that you know picture is worth a thousand learns right, Well, 486 00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:10.079 I mean, now they worth a whole lot more than a thousand. But 487 00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.719 with Coach Martine, I'll take it. Let me take a picture with the 488 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:17.559 coach. He'll never know what I'm gonna say. I won't know what he's 489 00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:22.840 gonna say, but the general public say, and MotorCity man mothers standing next 490 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.920 to the coach and let you draw your own conclusions. But you know what, 491 00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.039 We've been treated very nicely with Inner Miami. I really enjoy working with 492 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:36.440 those people there. I just have to find now master the art of covering 493 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.400 this team, because what I have seen this year, I never have any 494 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:43.280 detroit. You'll never see it in a lot of places, but only in 495 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:47.199 South Florida. When you see a guy while somebody go into a press conference 496 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.119 and not know what they're saying, and they probably go ahead and let you 497 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.400 go ahead and ask a question and translate it. I won't know where it 498 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:58.800 is anyway, So I'll find a way to create a story. But I'll 499 00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.559 tell you what, winning lovely. He's the only way that I can define 500 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:05.760 the early part of my inter Miami experience. I don't even know how you're 501 00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:10.440 saying Spanish, but I do know he's an awfully good player, So we'll 502 00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.679 at that. Well, let's see I can comment on a lot like your 503 00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:20.199 messy comment well, MESSI has said that this is gonna be He's this is 504 00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.880 the last place he's gonna play for, So who knows he's through. He's 505 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:28.559 got a contract through twenty twenty five. Who knows if he'll extend. But 506 00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.440 as for my town, I'm gonna I'm gonna go up back up to Wisconsin, 507 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:42.440 and I'm gonna say the Milwaukee Bucks obviously did not do well. Doc 508 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.039 Rivers came in. Everybody thought, oh, well, mate, there's no 509 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.239 way they're gonna do good with the playoffs because he's coming in and he's got 510 00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:53.559 a horrible record. Now they've brought Darvin Ham in. But now the interesting 511 00:37:53.639 --> 00:38:00.840 thing that came out is that Doc Rivers said that Dan me and Lillard was 512 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:06.920 in the worst condition shape wise at the beginning of the season that he has 513 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.960 ever been in before because he did not work out because he knew he was 514 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.159 going to get traded, he didn't know who he was going to get traded 515 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.679 to, and he did not want to get injured. So now all the 516 00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:22.440 people, and I'm thinking here, as a pro athlete, how can you 517 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:29.039 not stay in shape yourself before your season is coming to whether you're going to 518 00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:34.679 be traded or not or new contract or not. It just surprises me. 519 00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.559 And they're saying now that he's going to stay in shape, that that was 520 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:45.159 the worst it had ever been. My question is now that all these contracts 521 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.599 are floating around in the NFL, and let's face it, Trevor Lawrence just 522 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.920 got paid, he just got a big contract. What do we think Jordan 523 00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:01.760 Love is gonna end up with? Because we've had very We've had a lot 524 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:06.679 of success with our previous two quarterbacks, let's praise it, Brett barv and 525 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.800 then Aaron Rodgers. So do we think Jordan Love is going to be that 526 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.800 generational of talent? And if he is, we've got to pay him. 527 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:20.960 But he hasn't proven I mean, he hasn't proven that much. But if 528 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:28.039 we don't, will somebody else? Yeah, careful, Brian guten Kirk Mars. 529 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:34.599 That's all I gotta say. To be continued once we get that figure. 530 00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:38.239 So we'll tell you what this fire up shows good getting on here often. 531 00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:40.679 But I'm sure looking forward to coming on here. When I go on 532 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:44.800 here, Haggarty'll be here with me. But I got other things I'm working 533 00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:50.239 out with Haggarty Man on Saturday, h right and I'm glad you brought that 534 00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:52.519 up. So Rob, want you give everybody a preview of what to expect 535 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.800 on Saturday's edition of The External Bump. Yeah, we have The External Bump 536 00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:01.880 Show so live on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Twitter X platforms.

I have 539 00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:13.800 a bump for Saturday and it has to do with a hot dog, and 540 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.639 I'll tell you what it is on Saturday. Also, our topics are gonna 541 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:23.079 be about college athletes violent for bankruptcy, Deion Sanders snout for bankruptcy. We're 542 00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:28.039 gonna talk about that because if this is gonna be an ongoing thing and who's 543 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.239 the blame? All right, I want to So we're gonna talk about that 544 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.280 Saturday extensively. Who's the blame for that? That's one of our topics. 545 00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.000 And we're gonna talk about, of course, the NHL Playoffs and more. 546 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.559 Saturday morning, nine am The External Bump Show. Join us on YouTube, 547 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.119 Facebook, Twitch, and Twitter X platforms. I'm working on a fourth guest 548 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:50.079 we'll find out, or a fourth person. We'll find that out. Soon. 549 00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.679 Yeah, well, I can say one thing about Saturday. I'm not 550 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:58.000 worried about eating my words that day because the theories won't be over. But 551 00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.639 if it means I have to know a week, deal with it. But 552 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:04.639 yeah, it's a good show. I enjoy working with Ralph and Leo on 553 00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:07.360 there, with a lot of fun. Yeah, so you know again, 554 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.800 you know, Ralph does a good job promoting my book. I know he 555 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:16.599 does, and Leo obviously is certainly getting acquainted with the book and all that. 556 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.159 But this is something I've worked hard on. But there's more work to 557 00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:23.239 do on it. But this show, external bum show has a boatload of 558 00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:28.519 potential. And I think the only thing I love about Ralph and Leo and 559 00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:32.559 myself as a as a group is you have a lot of experienced heads there. 560 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.480 So oh absolutely so. I guess we lost Jeremy, but I think 561 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:42.559 by now he does know who the publisher is, not by title but by 562 00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:46.199 name. We'll see there, but at any rate possible, And we're sitting 563 00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:52.760 in this chair next Thursday night. But in the meantime, any closing thoughts, 564 00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:54.519 Yeah, I wouldn't say about Green Bay and Pittsburgh. You know, 565 00:41:54.599 --> 00:42:00.480 Candy was talking about green Bay and a great tradition here twenty ten played each 566 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:05.840 other in Super Bowl and that was the first time two storied organizations like Green 567 00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:09.800 Bay and Pittsburgh back in the day super Bowl wins and things and just some 568 00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:15.239 big time organizations. It was great that we played Green Bay in the Super 569 00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.199 Bowl in twenty ten. We came up short unfortunately, so you know, 570 00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.159 but yeah, that's that's my closing thoughts. And on the iron, these 571 00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:25.119 are both and we have the draft back to back here, so yes, 572 00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:30.760 yes, anything you want to Candy, I'm going to say, go Panthers. 573 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:36.480 Right now it's tied zero zero and I just saw a lot of fighting 574 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:42.320 on the screen, so yeah, there you go, happy full force. 575 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.239 Yeah, okay, well we'll back then we'll everybody know how they get ahold 576 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:47.599 of each other.

And Candall was telling everybody what just happened in the hockey 589 00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:58.039 game. Yeah, the Panthers just scored. They are up one nothing. 590 00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:02.400 Now, wow, that's great. Yeah, okay, well you know, 591 00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:08.320 go ahead, Candy, I'll give our information one more time. I believe 592 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.679 that when I'm I'm not even taking size in this because I believe I have 593 00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:17.159 to be objective by the rule of journalism. There you go for what. 594 00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:23.079 I'm being an objective. I love the result I don't have. I don't 595 00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.920 have. I don't take either team. But you're not covering either. You're 596 00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.119 not covering the game, so you don't have to be objective. You can 597 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:35.320 have an opinion. It's okay. I got a little shorter to them. 598 00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.400 I don't have an opinion on this series except the fact that the Panthers don't 599 00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.960 win it in seven.
