Speaker 1: Good evening everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up.
Speaker 1: Are we fired up or what?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 3: You already know the answer to that absolutely, you know.
Speaker 3: If you stay right, we gotta get ready, baby.
Speaker 4: Oh, Eric, we're all fired up for today. He love.
Speaker 3: Eric's all right, you're getting Yankees already.
Speaker 1: I know, I know they get one. You know, they
Speaker 1: get the first one of the season under their belts,
Speaker 1: and they're already bragging.
Speaker 5: You know. Wow, it's only one game, Eric.
Speaker 4: You want to stream to help me out? I'm getting
Speaker 4: slammed already.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, y'all hit the first home run.
Speaker 6: Hey, my team hasn't played yet.
Speaker 4: We've already got two losses.
Speaker 6: The Cups have only got two losses because we stick again.
Speaker 4: To bring your whole team down to Japan. That's why. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you can't bring part of your team. Okay, your other
Speaker 4: team can see in Chicago. The other team you can
Speaker 4: go down to Japan. That's fine. You gotta bring all
Speaker 4: of them together.
Speaker 3: Well, sorry, how about the White Sox?
Speaker 2: Though they forced the Angels to already use a position
Speaker 2: player for a pitcher, White Sox were the worst team
Speaker 2: in baseball last year.
Speaker 3: To Yeah, well, the Morlans.
Speaker 1: You're probably, you know, buying for that bottom dweller seat there.
Speaker 5: HM.
Speaker 2: Well, to Rowse's point, though, it's one game everybody out
Speaker 2: of one sixty two.
Speaker 1: So you know, I want Since we're talking about opening
Speaker 1: Day and we're talking about MLB, let's talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about the cheapest available ticket for an opening day
Speaker 1: for today's slate of games. So anybody want to guess
Speaker 1: what the cheapest ticket was without looking at or googling it,
Speaker 1: I want.
Speaker 5: To get it looking Miami Morelands, so they were the
Speaker 5: okay to Moreland's Candy.
Speaker 1: Marlins were the second cheapest. That's their cheapest ticket was
Speaker 1: seventeen dollars.
Speaker 5: For today, Tampa.
Speaker 4: Bay Race, Chicago White Sox ten dollars.
Speaker 3: Nope, well the White Sox.
Speaker 2: The White Sox were at the Angels, so that's why
Speaker 2: theirs weren't that cheap.
Speaker 6: Say Washington.
Speaker 1: Orioles at the Blue Jays and their cheapest ticket was
Speaker 1: twelve dollars.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Now, any guesses which is the cheapest most expensive cheap
Speaker 1: ticket for which game?
Speaker 5: How about the Yankees?
Speaker 1: They were middle of the road and their cheapest ticket
Speaker 1: was fifty six dollars.
Speaker 5: All right? How about how about the La Dodgers, Los Angeles.
Speaker 5: The California is expensive.
Speaker 1: Tigers at Dodgers were the second at one hundred and thirty.
Speaker 5: Wow, I've been getting the second ones instead of the
Speaker 5: first ones.
Speaker 4: Yeah there, you got right. How have you been getting
Speaker 4: a like I would have? Yeah, exactly, no ticket for you,
Speaker 4: no lottery ticket.
Speaker 3: Padres braves.
Speaker 1: Padre's braves were middle of the pack. They were. They
Speaker 1: were a dollar more expensive than the Yankees. They were
Speaker 1: fifty seven dollars. I'm gonna tell you it was so whopping.
Speaker 1: The cheapest ticket was one hundred and eighty nine dollars.
Speaker 5: Wowee, one hundred and eighty nine dollars, that's great. I'm
Speaker 5: got the Philadelphia Phillies. How about that one?
Speaker 3: Phillies.
Speaker 1: No, they're at the Nationals and they were. The cheapest
Speaker 1: ticket was forty one dollars. Okay, I would not have
Speaker 1: guessed this. The Giants at the Reds. One hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty nine dollars was the cheapest.
Speaker 5: Wow in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Cheez wow, I would not have guessed that one.
Speaker 5: But third team did a little bit better than the Pirates,
Speaker 5: and they're not you know, they're nowhere near the top either.
Speaker 2: You know, Honestly, Hey, the Reds make sense because when
Speaker 2: you think about opening Day, the Reds have kind of
Speaker 2: had a lock on the opening day, and being they
Speaker 2: usually are always the first game, that makes a little
Speaker 2: bit of sense to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It seems a little expensive to me for them, but hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly the cheapest ticket. That's a little expensive, I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not taking a family afford to.
Speaker 4: That at all.
Speaker 5: Well, well, I'm going to say this, you have to
Speaker 5: take out a loan.
Speaker 1: I do have to say I was happy to see
Speaker 1: that the Marlins started out at home because it is
Speaker 1: spring break around here for most of the schools. So
Speaker 1: if a family wanted to go there for seventeen dollars
Speaker 1: for a ticket, isn't that bad? I mean, considering it's
Speaker 1: an opening day? I mean, how many? How many? Let
Speaker 1: me ask the fani, any of you been to an
Speaker 1: open for baseball?
Speaker 5: No? I was at one game, and I'll explain this.
Speaker 5: I was the color Guarden of Boy Scouts. I went
Speaker 5: to an opening day game at three River Stadium in
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety one. Now you're hearing me out now, the
Speaker 5: seats that they gave us were way up and peanut
Speaker 5: heaven up by the scoreboard, and unfortunately I had to
Speaker 5: chase out five drunks to get out of our seats.
Speaker 5: So after that, I never went to another Opening Day
Speaker 5: game ever.
Speaker 2: Okay, ok no, I've never been to an opening Opening Day.
Speaker 1: I've been to just a few.
Speaker 6: I've only been to one Brave game.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 1: So if you guys don't know, and he guts probably
Speaker 1: don't know. My dad is a height is it, a
Speaker 1: retired high school teacher, So obviously Opening Day normally was
Speaker 1: during the school's year, So obviously I could never skip
Speaker 1: school to go to Opening Day. That was like forbidden.
Speaker 1: But he also was an usher for the Milwaukee Brewers
Speaker 1: for over twenty five years.
Speaker 5: Wow mm hm, So you know what, people don't give
Speaker 5: up that job, Candy, That's a great job.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 5: Guys are ninety six years old, still work at panc Park,
Speaker 5: worked at Three Rivers, worked at Forbes Field. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 5: ninety six years old, still at it with that, that's
Speaker 5: a job you just never give up, you know.
Speaker 1: Typically typically, but he would have the one that would
Speaker 1: have gotten rid of those drunks that were in your seat.
Speaker 1: Ralph would have done.
Speaker 2: And they would have had no choice but to respect
Speaker 2: someone who's ninety six years old. If you love what
Speaker 2: you do, you'll never work a day in your life,
Speaker 2: right right exactly?
Speaker 1: Cost of the ticket may be the reason for it,
Speaker 1: the protest. Ah, yes, yes, so I do have to.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give kudos to the Yankees even though they're
Speaker 1: playing my Brewers and they be this one game today.
Speaker 1: The New York Yankees are having a moment of silence
Speaker 1: for each of the three games in the series against
Speaker 1: the Brewers this weekend. So today, if you didn't know,
Speaker 1: they had a moment of silence from Miller Gardner, the
Speaker 1: son of New York Yankee Brett Gardner that died. They're
Speaker 1: also on Saturday going to be honoring and forgive me
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna say this right, I don't know
Speaker 1: how to pronounce it, but Lou Kakuza Senior. And then
Speaker 1: on Sunday they're gonna have They're gonna honor Bob Buker. Now,
Speaker 1: for those of you that listen to Sports Exchanged last night,
Speaker 1: I told everybody, if you are in the Milwaukee area,
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers open on March thirty, first at home.
Speaker 1: If you are in that area. There is a famous
Speaker 1: it's called Cops. It is a custard stand. Will not
Speaker 1: a stand because they do burgers, they do all kinds
Speaker 1: of things. But Bob Youker used to go into this
Speaker 1: custard stand and he used to joke that cops would
Speaker 1: give him a free custard anytime he got a hit.
Speaker 1: So it was about once a month, he said, because
Speaker 1: he didn't He wasn't the greatest hitter, you know, so
Speaker 1: he was joking around, but he used to go in
Speaker 1: there all the time. So in honor of that, they
Speaker 1: are actually for one day gonna do a new flavor
Speaker 1: and it's called Mister Baseball. It's a caramel malt custard
Speaker 1: with beer nuts, fudge covered pretzels, and a splash of
Speaker 1: Miller Lite. And they're gonna offer it on March thirty first,
Speaker 1: in honor of the real mister Baseball. So I thought
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool that they keep honoring in
Speaker 1: different ways. They're wearing a patch on their uniforms, you know,
Speaker 1: and then for the Yankees to honor him, my haint.
Speaker 1: That says a lot about who Bobyker was. So any
Speaker 1: other thoughts about the upcoming baseball season, guys.
Speaker 5: No, not really, other than I think the Mets and
Speaker 5: the Yankees gonna take it. They seem to have the
Speaker 5: best teams.
Speaker 2: That's not a bad take, Ralph. But I could, if
Speaker 2: I could. I wanted to elaborate on Brett Gardner's son.
Speaker 2: I know I've mentioned before a lot of people that
Speaker 2: I've played baseball against who went on to play for
Speaker 2: the Game Cocks, Michael Roth, the Chris Brothers play. I
Speaker 2: played against Brad Chalk who went to Clemson. I've played
Speaker 2: against a lot of these guys. And I had a
Speaker 2: roommate in college who played with Brett Gardner and he
Speaker 2: was a staple down in Charleston where I met my wife,
Speaker 2: And for him to lose his son at fourteen years
Speaker 2: old while on vacation like that just seems like the
Speaker 2: most ultimate tragedy that you could possibly fathom. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's very good that the Yankees are honoring him with
Speaker 2: the you know, the silence saying for Bob it. But man,
Speaker 2: I dude, I can't out. I've got a five and
Speaker 2: a three year old son. I can't possibly fathom going
Speaker 2: on vacation, this place of relaxation and come back and
Speaker 2: you don't have one of your kids anymore to me
Speaker 2: that so, yeah, shout out to Brett Gardner, his family, thoughts, prayers,
Speaker 2: you know, whatever you want to call it. I mean,
Speaker 2: what a tragedy though, that is in my opinion.
Speaker 1: JD. We Scott and I were covering the Mets versus
Speaker 1: Marlins on Saturday or Sunday, I'm sorry, Sunday at the
Speaker 1: Mets training, the spring training. It was one of the
Speaker 1: last spring trainings for the Marlins, one of them, and
Speaker 1: the news broke I think sometime during that game, because
Speaker 1: at the press conference after the game, uh, New York
Speaker 1: manager New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza set was almost
Speaker 1: in tears, like he was he knows Brett, and he
Speaker 1: knows his son played with Brett's son and so had
Speaker 1: a close relationship, and he was almost in tears, and
Speaker 1: it was just very moving to see. You don't see
Speaker 1: that very often in a press conference, but because I
Speaker 1: can't imagine a fourteen year old losing.
Speaker 3: It's tough. It is tough.
Speaker 2: And then, like you said, though, you get that real
Speaker 2: reaction though, yes, from you know, people.
Speaker 3: That knew him.
Speaker 2: Brett Gardner we all know as a baseball player like
Speaker 2: I said, I know someone who played with him, so
Speaker 2: as I've been past his family's farm one hundred times
Speaker 2: down in the Low State. It's around Santee, South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Anybody's not familiar, but that's where Brett Gardner grew up.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, man, for him to lose a on
Speaker 2: the fourteen on a vacation, golly, just a tragic, tragic thing.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 1: Anybody else want to talk about the season. Not getting
Speaker 1: into the food yet, but the season.
Speaker 4: I just want to beat the Red Sox. That's all
Speaker 4: I care about. You know, him a Yankees fan, and
Speaker 4: they if they gotta beat the Red Sox, the ESPN
Speaker 4: may be bad. I'd left for work and they're like, oh,
Speaker 4: the Red Sox are gonna win the division. Yankees are
Speaker 4: gonna miss playoffs. We'll see ESPN, We'll see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Yankees Red Sox. That's always a uh, you know,
Speaker 5: a very tough rivalry between the two of them.
Speaker 4: Stanton's hurt, Cole's hurt, this player's hurt. Oh what we're
Speaker 4: gonna do. They're gonna heal Geart Cole camp, but everybody
Speaker 4: else can heal up.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about I don't know about Stanton
Speaker 2: him with two elbows being hurt. I mean, I understand
Speaker 2: his throwing elbow being hurt because as a baseball player.
Speaker 3: My elbow used to kill me.
Speaker 2: So I can't imagine know what he did to his
Speaker 2: catching elbow where he's struggling so bad. But hey, the Yankees,
Speaker 2: they hit the first two home runs.
Speaker 3: Of the season.
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be a team to beat.
Speaker 2: I would much prefer, though, someone like Julio Rodriguez for
Speaker 2: Seattle or Bobby Witt Junior from Kansas City to win
Speaker 2: the MVP this year. That's what else I'll say about
Speaker 2: the season. I'm over the Aaron Judge and the show
Speaker 2: Heyo Tawany's.
Speaker 3: I mean, we all know they're great. Yeah sure, Well.
Speaker 5: You know, we haven't talked about the Oakland A's. They're
Speaker 5: playing in Sacramento this year until they get their field
Speaker 5: built in Las Vegas. You know, we haven't talked about that.
Speaker 5: That's you know, They's are kind of a you know,
Speaker 5: lost soul swimming and a fish bowl at this point.
Speaker 3: You know, could they be the worst team in baseball
Speaker 3: this year?
Speaker 5: Probably other than the White Sox. And it's sad that
Speaker 5: there are two teams in the American League.
Speaker 4: There are like that could be could there be Mundy
Speaker 4: Ball two? There you go?
Speaker 3: Yeah, when when they actually make it to Vegas?
Speaker 4: I think so that's what I'm saying, Mundy Ball part two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we saw what the Golden Knights were
Speaker 2: able to do when they made it to Vegas and hockey.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Raiders probably hope to gain something from
Speaker 2: going to Vegas. They haven't, but I could I could see. Yeah,
Speaker 2: once Athletics, do we even know what's their name going
Speaker 2: to be? Does anybody even know what their name is.
Speaker 3: Going to be?
Speaker 5: Who knows?
Speaker 3: Are They're not to be the Athletics anymore?
Speaker 5: Though? Right might be they might just keep the name
Speaker 5: like they kept the rate.
Speaker 4: That's you know, Las Vegas. Lease.
Speaker 5: I don't know, there you go, not bad. It's not
Speaker 5: a bad not a bad flow. I mean Vegas.
Speaker 4: That's thinking.
Speaker 2: If it's me though, I'm leaving everything in the past. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't want to bring any of.
Speaker 5: It from It's gonna be a new beginning for them,
Speaker 5: whether anyone likes it or not. You know, it's just
Speaker 5: like the Raiders, you know, they moved to Las Vegas.
Speaker 5: It's a new beginning for them. I hope they do
Speaker 5: well with Pete Carroll, you know. And I also heard
Speaker 5: JD that they're gonna they're gonna have a basketball team
Speaker 5: coming soon, an NBA team. They're looking at expanding in Vegas.
Speaker 3: So it wouldn't shocked me.
Speaker 5: No, not at all.
Speaker 2: Now that gambling is perfectly legal everywhere. Yes, that's the
Speaker 2: only reason why there weren't teams in life Vegas already.
Speaker 3: Right yeah, so.
Speaker 5: But anyway, you know, I you know, if you're out
Speaker 5: there and you're thinking, why I'm wearing this orange shirt?
Speaker 5: First of all, it's in dedication to the fact that
Speaker 5: that Cleveland Browns are so stupid that they signed Kenny Pickett. Okay,
Speaker 5: that's number one. Number two. Uh, they almost signed Russell Wilson,
Speaker 5: but he went to the New York Giants, so you know,
Speaker 5: let them have him for twenty one million dollars for
Speaker 5: one year? Are you joking? Right?
Speaker 6: All right, there you go.
Speaker 5: Ah, there's Brian he's back.
Speaker 3: I might have to mute the TV.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, man, yeah, I had to mute mine. I'm
Speaker 5: watching the Shawshank Redemption.
Speaker 3: Ralph don't have sports on the TV. Come on, man, well.
Speaker 5: I'm at this hotel here they got you know, cheap
Speaker 5: channels here, they don't have much.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: I was lucky to find AMC here to watch The
Speaker 5: Shawshank Redemption.
Speaker 3: Not a bad movie, not bad normally.
Speaker 1: Normally he's watching Chicago PD.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, watched that on Thursday night. Sure, exactly correct.
Speaker 2: Hey, well, hey, speaking of that, do you watch Hawaii
Speaker 2: five Oh on Fridays?
Speaker 5: You know what? Hawaii five oh is good? But I
Speaker 5: still like the one with Jack Lord and the old one,
Speaker 5: and I watch that on Pluto TV when I can find.
Speaker 3: It, right, Well, yeah, I know, so I know the
Speaker 3: Ion rundown.

Speaker 2: on Thursdays.
Speaker 3: Yet that I keep it on Ion.
Speaker 6: Yeah mm hmmm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like Hawaii five Oh. I watched the Wind's
Speaker 5: not Known, but usually uh they cut that in half known,
Speaker 5: they got that bull on and then they got sometimes
Speaker 5: they cut it off and put soccer or someone. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, yeah, they're big into their
Speaker 2: women's sports over there on iOS. Can't blame them, No,
Speaker 2: blame them.
Speaker 5: No, I can't sports as an outlet.
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.
Speaker 5: God, Candy, I'm sorry, I mean.
Speaker 1: It's okay, No, that's okay. It's kind of funny because
Speaker 1: you transitioned me into a place I wasn't gonna go
Speaker 1: just yet. But since you did that, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put it out there. So this year, the women's
Speaker 1: Frozen four Championship game increased a total of twenty two
Speaker 1: percent in viewership compared to last year. Now, if any
Speaker 1: of you watched it or heard about it, Wisconsin did win,
Speaker 1: but they were losing. They were down three to two
Speaker 1: with eight nineteen seconds left to go in the third period.
Speaker 1: The coach there was a penalty shot until the coach
Speaker 1: went to the bench and said, okay, who wants it?
Speaker 1: And the one girl said I want it. She went out,
Speaker 1: she scored the tie it, and then the Badgers won
Speaker 1: in overtime, so to win their eighth national championship. So
Speaker 1: I just kind of wanted to throw that out there.
Speaker 1: So kudos to them. But I'm gonna reel it back
Speaker 1: into baseball because we were talking about Opening Day and
Speaker 1: we kind of talked about Opening Day ticket prices. Ryan
Speaker 1: wants to talk about some of the food choices you
Speaker 1: can make now at the baseball park.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I wish I could have had the pictures up,
Speaker 6: but I got the NLB opening day twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: These are the ten wildest new food items. And you
Speaker 6: can say you like them or not, and I'm just
Speaker 6: gonna read them all. This is the this is the

Speaker 6: So this is like cheddar chee. I don't know what
Speaker 6: would be like, it's crazy. Number eight is the work
Speaker 6: is the warehouse burger from Baltimore Orioles. And this one
Speaker 6: is this this one was on men versus food at
Speaker 6: the time.

Speaker 5: Italian store that makes it has very good Italian for stuff,
Speaker 5: you know, in the store. He told me that if

Speaker 4: that out of here? No, I'm.
Speaker 3: Peppertini. Sorry, Canny, go ahead, that's okay.
Speaker 1: I'm really back in. We're gonna talk a little March madness.
Speaker 1: This is the first time the Sweet Sixteen is composed
Speaker 1: entirely of major conference teams. Since the Sweet Sixteen officially
Speaker 1: began in nineteen seventy five, only four different conferences are represented.
Speaker 1: Every other Sweet sixteen had at least seven, and I
Speaker 1: would say the realm that we're watching at least tonight.
Speaker 1: So far, the games have not been close, not been close.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about the Sweet sixteen anybody?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it seems like seems like Florida's Uh, Florida
Speaker 5: just beat Maryland and uh, you know you got Alabama
Speaker 5: beating up on BYU. That was crazy. Alabama's on a roll.
Speaker 5: Actually that's the first blownout game they've had. Every game
Speaker 5: they've done so far has been close. And uh pensman
Speaker 5: s Duke Place tonight, Arkansas Place tonight, Uh tomorrow got.
Speaker 4: Miss Okay before this tips off, I think the Arkansas
Speaker 4: game's gonna be close.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's gonna be the closest game you're
Speaker 4: gonna see the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 5: Due Purdue always has a good team. Uh, and Auburn
Speaker 5: looks for number one seed, you know. So yeah, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Speaker 5: that's gonna be a really good one. In Michigan State
Speaker 5: and will Miss.
Speaker 4: There has not been a Cinderella story yet.
Speaker 1: I don't think there will be.
Speaker 4: I don't think so either.
Speaker 6: I just I don't think so either. I don't think
Speaker 6: there's gonna be any upsets.
Speaker 4: That's why you're Brian.
Speaker 6: Bracket does look good at.
Speaker 3: My bracket's perfect.
Speaker 5: Well, we'll see what happens. I'm taking I'm taking in
Speaker 5: the final four of the championship. I'm looking at Duke
Speaker 5: in Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Arkansas would make it. That would be an upset because
Speaker 1: Arkansas is a ten scene.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but still John Calipari's their coach and he's from
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh area.
Speaker 4: Take youre, Olf, thank you.
Speaker 5: He used to coach at Kentucky, and you know, Kentucky
Speaker 5: always had good teams.
Speaker 4: And so what did I say last week?
Speaker 5: Oh Pensman, I agree with you one Arkansas dude.
Speaker 4: You can't go by cal Perry. You cannot bet against him.
Speaker 5: No, you cannot. I was actually quite surprised that. Well.
Speaker 5: I like what Rick Patino did at Saint John's. I
Speaker 5: actually thought he did a really good shot.
Speaker 4: You know, and his son's got the job at see
Speaker 4: you if if you if you haven't heard.
Speaker 5: Well in case she in case you don't know Pensman,
Speaker 5: he was an assistant under uh Ron everhard to Keane.
Speaker 4: Okay, no, I don't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Hey, So, speaking of Rick Patino and Richard Patino.
Speaker 5: Here we go.
Speaker 3: I actually I put out this poll earlier on it.
Speaker 4: What is that.
Speaker 3: You don't want to know?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: So we've had fourteen votes so far. I think it
Speaker 2: was Let's see if I can pull it up real quick.
Speaker 4: Hold on what I voted was ninety two percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I'm sure it's still Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're up to fourteen votes. Eighty five point
Speaker 2: seven percent of the people say that Rick and Richard
Speaker 2: Patino is a better father son duo in basketball than
Speaker 2: Lebron and Bronnie James.
Speaker 4: Hm.
Speaker 5: You know that could be. I mean, you know, it
Speaker 5: could happen.
Speaker 3: I mean I think they are.
Speaker 2: Yes, with their success, both of them in the NC
Speaker 2: DOUBLEA tournament. I mean, yes, Bronnie, he's come on a
Speaker 2: little bit into his role.
Speaker 3: But as far as the college basketball.
Speaker 2: As far as well in the G League, that's where
Speaker 2: he should have been anyway, But as far as the
Speaker 2: college basketball thing goes, I wanted to mention tom Izzo.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, bro.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 3: He's coached for thirty years and he's made twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Straight NC Double A tournaments. And I can do quick math.
Speaker 2: That means that he has made the tournament ninety percent
Speaker 2: of the time. That is diabolical. That is ridiculous. Good
Speaker 2: give me fifty percent of that rate at my school.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure there's other schools. Brian Clemson, I'm sure
Speaker 2: y'all would want to go to the tournament half as
Speaker 2: much as tom Izzo has. And then not only that,
Speaker 2: he named all the years that he's been to the
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen on a podcast the other day, Wow, nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety nine, two thousand and one, two thousand and two,
Speaker 2: two thousand and five, two thousand nine, twenty ten. He
Speaker 2: literally he named them all off, and he like that
Speaker 2: memory is still good. But tom Izzo, for a lot
Speaker 2: of people, not to give them credit, I think he
Speaker 2: might be the best coach left in this tournament right now.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, him and Sean Caliperi, those are the two I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know if I don't know if
Speaker 2: he'll be able to beat I mean, Texas Tech is
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he'll be able.
Speaker 2: But for him to go, for him to be in
Speaker 2: that first meeting with the team, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if y'all remember that press conference or not, but he
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I met with the team.
Speaker 3: It was just me in there. There was nobody. It
Speaker 3: was him and like one other player. And for him
Speaker 3: to go from that.
Speaker 2: To being in the sweet sixteen of the NCAA tournament
Speaker 2: is nothing short of impressive. Absolutely, John calla party.
Speaker 3: Great work.
Speaker 1: So how do you guys feel about the transfer portal?
Speaker 1: Already has already opened, There's already been how many people,
Speaker 1: how many kids are already in the transfer portal and
Speaker 1: we're not even through the sweet sixteen. Like my issue
Speaker 1: with that is and I have a lot of issues
Speaker 1: with that because I think that the transfer portal should
Speaker 1: not open until the season is completely done, meaning all
Speaker 1: of the championship, because I think a it's kind of
Speaker 1: unfair for the players and the coaches right now from
Speaker 1: all of the teams, because let's face it, Tom is oh,
Speaker 1: right now, he's not thinking about what next year is.
Speaker 1: He's not thinking about the transfer portal. He's got to
Speaker 1: be thinking about this year's team and being in the
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen and coaching that team. He should not be
Speaker 1: having anybody on his staf And I understand he probably
Speaker 1: does have to have people on his staff recruiting already,
Speaker 1: but that to me should not be even a thing
Speaker 1: that they would be thinking about right now. And players
Speaker 1: have already left some of the programs that are still
Speaker 1: in the sweet sixteen. That's what's said as.
Speaker 2: Well your thoughts, Well, hey, i'll lead you off here.
Speaker 2: So there have been over twelve hundred players enter the
Speaker 2: portal already, which if you do that math, it comes
Speaker 2: out to like fourteen fifteen percent of the players have
Speaker 2: already entered the portal. And yes, that's wrong, it shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2: But what I will also say is it's wrong for
Speaker 2: coaches like Will Wade, who already had a job at
Speaker 2: NC State when he was coaching McNeese against Clemson. It
Speaker 2: was wrong for him to have a job lined up already.
Speaker 2: There's another coach in the tournament right now. I forget
Speaker 2: which team it is and what the coach's name is,
Speaker 2: but he's already accepted a job at another school. But
Speaker 2: he says his focus is for them to win a
Speaker 2: championship now and do the best they can.
Speaker 4: If Lucas alve buddy, are you talking about Lucas in Miami? No, No,
Speaker 4: it wasn't okay. I was going to say that he
Speaker 4: took the job down, that he'd left Duke and what
Speaker 4: the a SEC tournament. John Shires said to go be
Speaker 4: with your team, and he left. I thought you were
Speaker 4: talking about him. I was like, he did that, he
Speaker 4: left peacefully.
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about head coaches. There is a sitting
Speaker 2: head coach that's in the Sweet sixteen right now. He
Speaker 2: just accepted a job today at another.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, oh no, there's tons. I mean we saw Rick Patino,
Speaker 2: Richard Patino, little Rick, whatever you wanna call him. He
Speaker 2: I mean, he already had something in the works to
Speaker 2: go to his new job. I'm sure, or else he
Speaker 2: wouldn't be named that quick. But no, there's another coach though,
Speaker 2: that's sitting and he's still in the tournament, and he's
Speaker 2: already got another head coaching job somewhere else.
Speaker 3: I think it's the Maryland head coach for I'm being honest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'll tell you what, guys now, So I'll
Speaker 5: tell you what guys in Candy Listen. The NIL or
Speaker 5: this NILS crap is just unbelievable. Now, Look, Pitts losing
Speaker 5: transit players for the transfer portal. And the only reason
Speaker 5: that is is because Jeff Caple decided to back out
Speaker 5: of the n i T for a second year in
Speaker 5: a row. Okay, how can you stay with a coach
Speaker 5: that you can't believe in, that will, that thinks that
Speaker 5: your team's not good enough to at least go to
Speaker 5: the n i T and try to make something out
Speaker 5: of the season. And also for two years in a row,
Speaker 5: he's lost the university money. And I'm hearing from my
Speaker 5: sources that Jeff Caple could be fired real soon because
Speaker 5: the university's very upset with him for two years in
Speaker 5: a row. And I blame this on the administration for
Speaker 5: next stepping in and saying you will go to the
Speaker 5: n i T if you like it or not. We
Speaker 5: need the money. You will go to the n I T.
Speaker 5: That's what's happening here at pitt But I do agree
Speaker 5: with Candy. It's the same thing in football, and it's unacceptable.
Speaker 5: It needs to be everything nil, transfers, coaches, whatever, nothing
Speaker 5: done until everything is done, the tournaments, the bull games,
Speaker 5: whatever is finished and done and satisfied. Then you get
Speaker 5: into the nil okay, Then you get into the transfer portal.
Speaker 5: Then you get into the coaches moving around Okay, nothing.
Speaker 5: The NCAA doesn't care. If they cared, they would structure themselves.
Speaker 5: And they don't structure nothing because they don't care.
Speaker 6: And I got and Clemson just lost, like I think
Speaker 6: four players already to the portal. Yes, yeah, And it's
Speaker 6: crazy how these guys are going well, honestly, school, okay,
Speaker 6: are you gonna play half? These kids are not even
Speaker 6: gonna go to play next year. They're just gonna like,
Speaker 6: let's just take how many would do? We say? Two thousand?
Speaker 6: So you're gonna take two thousand kids. There's not enough
Speaker 6: room for all these kids. You're exactly right, Brian, And
Speaker 6: there's enough play. I mean, if I fill my team
Speaker 6: up with portal guys, well what do I gotta fill
Speaker 6: my brackets up next year with? Okay, they're gonna leave too.
Speaker 6: So these coaches are gonna be stressed out because they
Speaker 6: don't even know who they're gonna have next year. They
Speaker 6: can lose a whole team.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, Brian, I'm gonna give you an example
Speaker 5: of something. There's a couple of football coaches who left
Speaker 5: college football to go to the pros or go to
Speaker 5: High Score or whatever because they got sick and tired
Speaker 5: of this NI on this transfer portal. Okay, that's number one.
Speaker 5: Number two, Brian, we have a player that he used
Speaker 5: to play for Pitt, John Hoogly. Okay, Hooglely was not
Speaker 5: a bad player. He played for two seasons with Pitt.
Speaker 5: He's been with Xavior and now he's moving on to
Speaker 5: another team. And before a Pitt he was with another team.
Speaker 5: He's been with five three teams in the last five years. Okay,
Speaker 5: So I understand what you're saying. And it's hard to
Speaker 5: keep continuity on a basketball or a football team in
Speaker 5: college football because this unorganized mess. No, it needs to
Speaker 5: be fixed, Yes, it does. Struggleds to happen.
Speaker 6: Well, it was like, hang on, I got in the
Speaker 6: video to day of a guy that was talking to
Speaker 6: some college and it was like on I forget what
Speaker 6: it was, but he was actually explaining, Hey, this is
Speaker 6: your nil deal. You still if you're making let's say
Speaker 6: two two hundred thousand a year. Let's say say they
Speaker 6: get endorsement for two thousand, you know, two thousand dollars. Well,
Speaker 6: do they not realize that they actually go have to
Speaker 6: go now to college and you have to pay Let's
Speaker 6: say you're playing in South Carolina. Now you go play
Speaker 6: in Miami or somewhere else that's got taxes. They have
Speaker 6: to pay taxes on it now the way they're playing
Speaker 6: that and they don't and kids don't understand that with
Speaker 6: an nil deal. Wait a minute, I'm lotting money on
Speaker 6: this deal.
Speaker 5: Okay. One of the Sanders kids, Brian, is broke. He's
Speaker 5: in bankruptcy. The other the other CHILDY ass notre.
Speaker 4: The other because he's getting paid, he's getting ready to
Speaker 4: get draft and get brillions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the other brother is broke. I mean he's
Speaker 5: literally a bankruptcy court. Okay. And that's and that's where
Speaker 5: this is going. Because there's no structure and the and
Speaker 5: the n c a A does not care. So what
Speaker 5: do they do nothing?
Speaker 2: That's the whole thing, right, Well, what I was gonna say, though,
Speaker 2: is you know a lot of people criticize the n
Speaker 2: C Double A, and rightfully so. And I've always used
Speaker 2: the phrase that the n C Double A was asleep
Speaker 2: at the will. But at this point, I don't even
Speaker 2: think they're in the right car. I don't even think
Speaker 2: they're in the right airplane. What I mean, whatever, And
Speaker 2: nowogy you want to use, I don't think the NC
Speaker 2: double A is. They couldn't land the plane, they couldn't
Speaker 2: keep the car from running off the side of the road.
Speaker 2: They are the ones who let this get out of hand. Yes,
Speaker 2: and now you see people like Jay Paterno, who me
Speaker 2: and Brian listened to earlier today on the radio. They're
Speaker 2: trying to fix it. But now you're trying to put
Speaker 2: toothpaste back in the two. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: So now they're trying to take all these corrective actions
Speaker 2: because of the NC double A not being in the car,
Speaker 2: and it's it's never gonna happen even and I wanted
Speaker 2: to mention too. Dawn Staley, she was asked about a
Speaker 2: Florida state transfer and what were her thoughts, and she
Speaker 2: tried to say, listen, I'm still in the midst of
Speaker 2: a tournament run. However, it's my job as a head
Speaker 2: coach to compartmentalize these things. I've got to learn that
Speaker 2: the portal, while it shouldn't be open right now, I
Speaker 2: can have whatever opinion on that I want to have.
Speaker 3: The fact is it's open.
Speaker 2: And if I'm not trying to better my university, my team,
Speaker 2: my school, whatever, then I'm not doing my job, is
Speaker 2: basically what she said. So the transfer portal, Yes, they
Speaker 2: need to figure out when these windows need to open.
Speaker 2: I think there was a Vanderbilt player who literally entered
Speaker 2: the portal thirteen minutes after they lost in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2: Thirteen minutes y'all for him to make a life changing decision.
Speaker 2: And this is life changing money that we're talking about
Speaker 2: that these kids can go and get. So anybody, I
Speaker 2: don't know whoever it is, p Digits, Brian Uh, Chuck Cane,
Speaker 2: any of you guys, Ralph Pensman, any of y'all, if
Speaker 2: y'all can figure out a way to fix this problem
Speaker 2: and make it happen.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, no, every place, every play wants
Speaker 4: me to fix the Steelers in the Penguins, I got
Speaker 4: enough on one play. I can't fix the Pittsburgh. I
Speaker 4: can't fix n c a A. There's no way I
Speaker 4: could fix n c A.
Speaker 3: Hey, well, it would be very simple. Just find your
Speaker 3: way into the car.
Speaker 1: What gonna make you the head, Jeff, or at least
Speaker 1: the window?
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about if you put on something? Hopo, if
Speaker 4: you take that on.
Speaker 3: I haven't fixed like that.
Speaker 5: I got I got something. I got something for you.
Speaker 5: My la father used to say, this may rest in peace.
Speaker 5: The elevator hasn't gotten off the ground yet. With the NCAA.
Speaker 4: My my take is that they should open the portal
Speaker 4: in May. March. Madness is over, the championship's done. In May,
Speaker 4: they get their May, June whatever. They can go to
Speaker 4: their schools. They can go there and they can get
Speaker 4: used to their coaches, they can get used to the
Speaker 4: playbook and that's it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. But the problem with that, Pensman is is now
Speaker 5: after the spring games, football games are over. Uh, you know,
Speaker 5: teams lose players because they're they're like, well I'm not
Speaker 5: playing or I'm doing this or I don't like this,
Speaker 5: you know. And now well for the football season starts,
Speaker 5: you lose, you lose players. There has to be something. Well, okay,
Speaker 5: yeah basketball May, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, college football good luck. But I'm saying college basketball
Speaker 4: just opened up in May. That way, they can go
Speaker 4: their schools by by November. They can get used to
Speaker 4: their coaches, get used to the campus, and they'll be fine.
Speaker 4: College football, good luck. That's that's JD's department.
Speaker 1: So you're saying that they should be doing, they should
Speaker 1: be negotiating in May to transfer, but don't they also
Speaker 1: have finals? Like, remember, they're going to school. We forget this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I get Ni L and we're throwing them
Speaker 1: all kinds of money, but we're they're also going to school.
Speaker 1: They also have finals and classes that they have to
Speaker 1: take as well.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought that up, Candy, because do they
Speaker 4: even have to have a GPA? Do they even have
Speaker 4: to have a great average? Changed? Right?
Speaker 2: Well, that's what's so crazy about it is we've completely
Speaker 2: lost the student athlete part.
Speaker 3: We lost the student part. But it's only thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's only in certain situations though, right, It's
Speaker 2: all when it's convenient to throw that student part in
Speaker 2: front of them in order to you know, put them
Speaker 2: you know, a rule or whatever.
Speaker 3: And then the n C doua A gets.
Speaker 2: Sued, and so it's just they've let this get way
Speaker 2: too far out of hand that I don't know that
Speaker 2: they'll ever be able to rein it in and fix it.
Speaker 4: The reason I ask Candy is because you don't see
Speaker 4: I'm gonna use Duke as of those seriously, Cooper flag
Speaker 4: suspended because he get a B or whatever, a ninety
Speaker 4: something whatever.
Speaker 1: For n C two a Division one student athletes, a
Speaker 1: minimum g p A of two point three in core
Speaker 1: courses is required for eligibility.
Speaker 4: Half of the students will be sleeping. It's still pass.
Speaker 5: Yes, I just just watch the movie Watch I can go.
Speaker 4: You can class with a two point three.
Speaker 2: Come on, well, I mean, unlet's be honest. They're on
Speaker 2: the road so much. They're not even in class anyway.
Speaker 2: These are online classes, and yes, just just go on
Speaker 2: there and do your work.
Speaker 3: That's all you have to do. Trust me, I have
Speaker 3: a degree. I'm not very well earned, mind you, like
Speaker 3: I understand.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the whole thing with the Carolina and
Speaker 2: their cheating stuff was these students weren't going to school.
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, Jeremy Pruitt is suing the
Speaker 2: NCAA for one hundred million dollars wow, for his recruiting
Speaker 2: violations and lost wages.
Speaker 5: So it just.
Speaker 3: The money has become the bigger thing.
Speaker 2: The student part of the student athlete no longer matters
Speaker 2: in these situations.
Speaker 4: JDP digit said that he'll fix the whole situation.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, p dig it's good man. I'm telling you,
Speaker 3: between all of us and our listeners, we could fix it.
Speaker 3: I mean that we'd make him pay, but we can
Speaker 3: fix it.
Speaker 4: They should have seen the situation before it got out
Speaker 4: of hid and just controlled it right from the start.
Speaker 5: But they did exactly.
Speaker 1: Guys. I'm gonna reel it in and i'm gonna switch
Speaker 1: it over. I'm gonna do one topic on NFL. Former
Speaker 1: Packers quarterback Tim Boyle with the Tennessee Tight He has
Speaker 1: now played for twenty five percent of the teams in
Speaker 1: the NFL.
Speaker 5: Foughts anybody, Oh yeah, he's played a lot. I mean
Speaker 5: I've seen him in a lot of games. He was
Speaker 5: with the Detroit Lions, if I'm not mistaken, and he
Speaker 5: played a lot. He played there too, Miami I think,
Speaker 5: and a couple other teams he was with.
Speaker 2: The best thing I can possibly say about this, and
Speaker 2: I'll form it in the phrase of a question. But
Speaker 2: is there any better job in the world to have
Speaker 2: than being a backup quarterback in the NFL?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can get a million five million dollars a
Speaker 5: year and just stand around and hold a clipboard and
Speaker 5: wear a hat.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And Tim Boyle, I mean he hasn't been much
Speaker 2: of a starter. There's tons of these quarterbacks though, Colly.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm thinking about the Missouri guy, Chase Daniel. That's him,
Speaker 3: Chase Daniel. He's made a career of and then guess what.
Speaker 2: Guess what they go do after that? They become a
Speaker 2: quarterback coach or a coordinator. So yeah, Tim Boyle, congratulations,
Speaker 2: go just keep being a backup. Jameis Winston, Russell Wilson
Speaker 2: going to your giants.
Speaker 4: Giants. He just mentioned, you're not my giant.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they're not your giant. I said the giant.
Speaker 4: You said your giants. I'm like, they're not my giants.
Speaker 2: No, not yours, but the fans giants. But either way,
Speaker 2: then you've got Aaron Rodgers. Looks like the Steelers are
Speaker 2: stuck with him now, Candy, I don't not necessarily.
Speaker 1: They're saying now that they might, he might set out
Speaker 1: the season.
Speaker 3: He's done.
Speaker 5: Okay, first of first of all, everyone quit drinking the
Speaker 5: Rogers cool lead. He's not coming here. He will not
Speaker 5: be here, Okay. I don't think he's gonna want to
Speaker 5: be a part of Arthur Smith's boring offense, and we
Speaker 5: don't have an offensive line to protect them, so I
Speaker 5: don't want him here. You know, he's also a locker
Speaker 5: room cancer. He's gotten the coaches fired. We don't need
Speaker 5: him here. He won't get Mike Tomlin fired, but he'll
Speaker 5: get Arthur Smith fired, which is not going to be
Speaker 5: a problem anyway.
Speaker 4: You're missing one thing. Ralph is going to crush his bow.
Speaker 4: Heyward is mad, Aaron Rodgers. Can you imagine him at practice?
Speaker 5: The best argument here, at all, the best the best
Speaker 5: thing that Steelers could do right now is either try
Speaker 5: to find another veteran quarterback, which was not out there.
Speaker 5: They got Mason Rudolph back. We go into this draft
Speaker 5: and get yourself Jackson Thort or somebody, and how all right,
Speaker 5: there's nothing else to do. What is the Steelers going
Speaker 5: to do? Absolutely nothing? Drop the ball on this.
Speaker 2: I've heard I've heard Kirk period, I've heard Kirk Kirk
Speaker 2: cousins might come into play.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah after July the first, there's some kind
Speaker 2: of calls where I've heard that Kirk could come into
Speaker 2: play for the Steelers.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, it's time for my tone. Well, actually, before
Speaker 1: we do that, I am going to do a quick
Speaker 1: station because I have not done one yet. South Florida

Speaker 4: Okay, can't back, Yes, can we talk about the Mets
Speaker 4: just for a little bit.
Speaker 1: You can talk about the Mets?
Speaker 4: Sure. The New York Mets today opened up against the
Speaker 4: Houston astrous one sotal. The highest paid guy didn't want
Speaker 4: to stay in pinstripes. What to go across town. He
Speaker 4: got paid probably the highest paid MLB player. He got
Speaker 4: one for three, one for three and Clay Holmes is
Speaker 4: still Clay Holmes. He pitched five innings, it gave up
Speaker 4: four runs. Good job, guys, what way to go over
Speaker 4: across the cross town?
Speaker 5: Love it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I love it?
Speaker 1: Anybody else, have a quick talk a bit before we
Speaker 1: go to my town.
Speaker 3: No, I think I'm ready for my town. Whenever you
Speaker 3: all are.
Speaker 5: Let's go, Ralph, go for it all right, as everyone knows.
Speaker 5: And they said earlier, stop drinking the roster's kool aid
Speaker 5: because the Steelers are not getting them. Okay. The Pirates,
Speaker 5: on the other hand, they lost today the Marlins a
Speaker 5: bullpen blew it again. I feel bad for Paul Skins
Speaker 5: because he's got to play for this bad team and
Speaker 5: pitch for them as well. The Pittsburgh Penguins, for some
Speaker 5: weird reason, seemed to start getting hot at the end
Speaker 5: of the season when they need to be hot in
Speaker 5: the middle and at the beginning of the season. And
Speaker 5: it seems obvious that that's the way it is. With
Speaker 5: Mike Sullivan. I call him mediocre Mike, just like Mike Tomlin. Okay,
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh has bad professional teams, lack of thinking, lack of
Speaker 5: common sense. And now this is where Pittsburgh is and
Speaker 5: who would have ever thought that ever thought this is
Speaker 5: where Pittsburgh sports teams are today. And the pitt Panther
Speaker 5: spring game is in April. I think it's the first
Speaker 5: weekend or first Saturday in April. And let me say this,
Speaker 5: I hope pat Northeusy has a good season because Allen
Speaker 5: Green are a new athletic director, will fire caple By.
Speaker 5: I'd say the summer, and then I think Northuisia will
Speaker 5: get fired if this season goes a raw. Okay, look out,
Speaker 5: pitt Alan Green's coming to get you. There you go,
Speaker 5: that's my.
Speaker 1: Time, Brian, what's happening in your town?
Speaker 6: Clemson's on fire? That Clemson's losing, Clemson's losing people, and
Speaker 6: they're getting spring training going down in Clemson and we're
Speaker 6: dealing with a fire and pickings right now. That's what's
Speaker 6: happening in my town.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it's literally on fire. No gun
Speaker 2: intended like it's literally on fire. We saw the smoke yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy, crazy Pensman. What's happening in your tone?
Speaker 4: Well, Ralph summed it up a little bit. The Pittsburgh
Speaker 4: Penguins keep losing and keep winning. That roller coaster just
Speaker 4: keeps going, and Alexandro Ovechkin is six goals away from
Speaker 4: breaking Wayne Gretzky's record, So congratulations to a Vegkin. He's
Speaker 4: gonna get it this year or early next year. I
Speaker 4: just want to point that out. I'm not a Capitals fan,
Speaker 4: but you got to give credit to alexand Alexandrovechkin what
Speaker 4: he's been doing.
Speaker 1: JD.
Speaker 3: Alrighty, well, I will take it back to the food
Speaker 3: talk that we had earlier.
Speaker 4: We still hot dog.
Speaker 3: No, well, we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 2: The new Texas Rangers single a affiliate that's coming to Spartanburg,
Speaker 2: South Carolina. They will be known as the Hub City
Speaker 2: Spartan Burgers, and they have a burger that is a
Speaker 2: fried green tomato, local pimento cheese, a burger patty, and
Speaker 2: a pass on top pass and uh, there's.
Speaker 3: A picture of it. It looks pretty good. I'll be
Speaker 3: honest with you. I love a good fried green tomato.
Speaker 2: But there's also have about a cracker Jack Bennie or
Speaker 2: if I could interest you in their deep fried pizza.
Speaker 2: So these guys, they're gonna have some really good food.
Speaker 2: They also have a Carolina swall dog, right, here picture
Speaker 2: of that right there. You can find the pictures at
Speaker 2: j D Wyatt zero six on X. Make sure to
Speaker 2: hit smash on subscribe for South Florid A Tribune and
Speaker 2: Southern Fried Sports and Brian and Pensman and Ralph and
Speaker 2: everybody in between. But as for my town, hopefully we
Speaker 2: get these fires put out and hopefully no more smoke
Speaker 2: comes my way, and y'all be blessed, not stressed, and
Speaker 2: just be kind to one another.
Speaker 5: Dang it well Tuesday, JD.
Speaker 4: Well, Well, JD already got where he can find the wet.
Speaker 5: Also, please please on my Twitter page, I need four,
Speaker 5: I repeat four followers to make two hundred. Please help
Speaker 5: me out. I'd like to make it by Monday. Please
Speaker 5: to four followers, that's it.
Speaker 2: P Digits, I know, P Digits, Caine, Gamecock, Chuck, I
Speaker 2: know you guys can help us out there. Hey, y'all
Speaker 2: hit subscribe on Ralph if you don't know his Twitter,
Speaker 2: I'll hit it up. These guys help us out there
Speaker 2: here on the stream man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get it done for you. Absolutely, Thank you, d.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it so.
Speaker 1: For my town. Prayers to Damian Lillard because going out
Speaker 1: with deep vein thrombosis otherwise known as blood clots is
Speaker 1: nothing to take lightly. That can be very serious. I
Speaker 1: feel for the Bucks, and I feel for Giannis because
Speaker 1: he is such a phenomenal player and to only have
Speaker 1: one championship underneath his belt at this point in his
Speaker 1: career is sad for me. He's playing for a small
Speaker 1: market team and I hope he doesn't leave. I really
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't leave. But I hope the Bucks can
Speaker 1: rebound from life without Damien for a while, because they're saying,
Speaker 1: really to heal. It could take a good three to
Speaker 1: four months to really heal, and I hope they they
Speaker 1: give him that time, and I hope he takes the
Speaker 1: time to heal and doesn't try to come back too early.
Speaker 1: But it was sad to see because anytime, just like
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Juju Watkins, anytime a player goes
Speaker 1: out with any kind of injury, whether it be a
Speaker 1: season ending or we forget that they played a game
Speaker 1: and we look at them at a game, but they
Speaker 1: also have a life to live and life is more important.
Speaker 1: Just like these fires we need, they need to be
Speaker 1: taken seriously and stopped. But that so that's really I'm
Speaker 1: gonna end it with that because that's really what's been
Speaker 1: on my mind. Obviously, I said earlier, the Wisconsin women's
Speaker 1: hockey team did great. Awesome with that, mister Pensman, you
Speaker 1: you want to update us on some scores.
Speaker 4: It's seventeen sixteen, eleven, twenty three to go in the
Speaker 4: first half. But that is what I want to talk about.
Speaker 4: The Duke gave you. Ask Brian, I'm watching the game also,
Speaker 4: I see you watching, but no, I wanted to say
Speaker 4: that Alabama just set a due record of three point
Speaker 4: shots made to late. They shot total of twenty five
Speaker 4: to three pointers that is the most in NCAA tournament
Speaker 4: ever in March Badness history. So congratulations to Alabama for
Speaker 4: shooting twenty five to three pointers and making the ball.
Speaker 1: Okay, with that being said, I want to first thank
Speaker 1: everybody that's been in the chat room. Appreciate all of
Speaker 1: you commenting and watching. Now I want to give everybody
Speaker 1: on this panel a chance to tell everybody how they
Speaker 1: can get a hold of you and watch you and
Speaker 1: subscribe to your channels, because I'm asking everybody's watching subscribe

Speaker 2: UFL football, y'all. Like, I get enough of football throughout
Speaker 2: the year. My team's the Panthers, the game Cocks. They're
