Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the best of two pros and a couple.
Joe with Lamar airings and rating win and Jonas Knox
on Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Congratulations, I mean, we are happy but also disappointed at
the same time. Bang, we are happy but disappointed all
at the same time because, uh, you know, the Florida
Panthers did win the Stanley Cup again. They become back
to back Stanley Cup champions last year into this year,

(00:34):
and we've been talking about that on this show because
last year into this year we've been inundated with Florida
Panthers talk by two people of this show, Brady Quinn
and Pete Prisco. They are blowhard Panthers fans. I was
rooting for the Edmonton Oilers. I was willing to.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Call it.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Off.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, which I don't even care. I mean, do I care?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Don't care less?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, I mean listen, a good the Florida Panthers and
good for their fan base.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Great for sports, Yeah, it's great for sports fans.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
You know, I got a call today, right, I gotta
do a call with with iHeart and one of the questions.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Right right, what's up about Heart?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
One of the questions that they asked me is why
does the NFL hold people captive, you know, so well
all year, and you know, I start thinking about it,
and it's like kind of like because it's while people
will say they care about other sports, they care about
football more. Yes, and in America at least, and you

(01:41):
could be sitting in your car and saying, I'm turning
it off because it's LeVar kick a rock. It's all right,
I see the numbers.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Oh people people will you know, people if.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
They're if they are blowhard, as you would say, hockey fan,
which is great. Be a hockey fan, you know, it's
great to be a hockey fan. If you're a blow
hard baseball fan, be a baseball fan, it's great. You know,
any other sport that's great. But just understand the butter
that goes on our bread in the morning, even with

(02:16):
some jelly on the side if you want, or some
ntella if you want to put some na tella on there,
whatever it is that we're putting on this bread over here,
it's football. The ingredient, the main ingredient that's going into
and onto that.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Bread is football.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
So while I like the fact that, hey, we're gonna
touch on some of these things, you know, the Florida Panthers. Congratulations,
you're going to hold Lord Stanley and you held them
in your hands yesterday. You'll drink out of that now,
I get it. But come on, man, we'll talk about
this for two minutes and then we're going to transition

(02:53):
into what butters the bread, which is we're gonna talk
something else.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
By the way, you know what my mom used to
do when I was a kid, what she used to
take toast. She would butter the toast and then put
a little bit of cinnamon on top of it. So
you'd have little cinnamon toast with a little butter added
in there. It's like, thank you, Reverend. I agree.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I add a little milk to it. You know, you
got cinnamon toes crunch.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, but you know, there you go. I mean it's
the ninety nine cent store version of that.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I bet you it was good though, Oh fantastic. I
know no better. So it was like moms make everything better, man. Yeah,
she she had the Jonas.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah what Mama Jonas? I would say this, uh something
because to your point, and it is valid that the
NFL is king uh And for people that don't like that,
I don't know what to tell you is what it is, brother.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
And the rules. I just live it.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
And by the way, the gap is widening, it is widening.
It is the NFL really is. It's college football in
second and then everybody else is trying to find find
the rhythm and find their ground elsewhere, which is fine.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
It wasn't an.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Which which is fine. But one thing that should be
pointed out from the Florida Panthers win last night was
oke comments postgame of Matthew Kachuck, who was a little
banged up apparently, but he did detail it afterwards on
the ice. Let's take a listen. Do you think the
average fan has any idea what you went through? And

(04:21):
what did you go through?

Speaker 5 (04:23):
I tore my ad octor off the bone, and I
had some hernia thing and all on the same side,
and I wanted to throw in the towel a bunch
of times.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I'm sure I got to thank.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
A lot of people, if I mean for getting me
healthy enough.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Been sure I wasn't the easiest.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
To deal with.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
I mean, if fiance did a great drop of the
house on days er, I probably wasn't in the best mood.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Coming to the rank the trainers. Maybe when I.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Wasn't in the best mood when I was in pain,
and I just owed him so much.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
The doctors.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I love that about hockey.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
It was my back.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I love that about hockey. Though I do like the
spinal I do like the idea that hockey goes. Yeah, listen,
it's upper body or lower body. They're not going to
identify specifically where it is until you find out afterwards. No,
just you know, a couple of herdias. Maybe it was
my spleen. It was ruptured, you know, no issues.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Meanwhile, we're like, Ah, Haliburton was a little wounded.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
He was a little hobbled.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
By the way. It also was a little difficult for
me to sympathize with Matthew couldchuck considering what we've seen
courtesy of our producer lead to Lap, who sent over
a video earlier in the week of a woman with
no legs twerking on the side of a boat. So
if she could.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Twork, nicknamed her the spinner.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Look like, like, if if that woman with no legs
could shake her ass on the side of a boat's god,
imagine imagine getting a lap dance from your carry on luggage.
That's what we're talking about.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Here.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Okay. So when I see that and then you see
Matthew ka Chuck, it's like, all right, it's all relative. Yeah,
I mean listen, you know, there's just different degrees of
this stuff. Now we did get it was my back,
Thank you, Mike.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
It was my back. It was spot it broke my back.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Final By the way, do you think do.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
You think do you think can we pull the Mike
Tyson where he goes off on that guy in the crowd.
I think it was when he got in that fight
with Lennox Lewis.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, we can't, we can't play that. You'd have to
you have to a lot of the things that they're saying.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
You couldn't last two minutes in my world. Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
I think once Mike Tyson told somebody he wanted to
eat his children, the sympathy for him also went out
the door as well too. I feeling that, uh you know,
probably crossed the line when it comes to other injury news.
Leavarn I were throwing.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Children rip hot out hot.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
That sounds like Joe Pah, Yeah right, that's not New York.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
They all, hey, bro, they all got that similar little deal.
So tyree, why.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Would you pack, Mike, Okay, So other injury news. Uh,
we're just going to get this stuff out of the
way early on here, tyrese Aliburton. He's dealing with the
Calves train. He's supposed to have an MRI. They're going
to determine the severity of it. He is planning to
play game six.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
But when is game six? Is it tonight?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I think it's when is it November? When are they
doing game again?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah? I think it's Sunday? Yeah, they move it to Sunday.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Is that also a Black Friday game? We get confirmation
on how the end?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
What do you mean, bro? Hey, you're right? Why you
got to go there?

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Right?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
You are right?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Came out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
I was just saying, it's, you know, way off in
the distance.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
That didn't. Yeah that didn't. Yeah that didn't come out.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Exactly what Pascal was dealing with. A lower injury.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean, listen, the NBA's butchered their scheduling. They
butchered their scheduling so much so that they can't even
keep their analysts interest interested enough in the game to
be able to put down Solitaire for ten minutes, to
be able to watch a finals game, but he is
from all accounts, the calf strain takes weeks to really heal.

(08:52):
He's going to be nowhere close to one hundred percent.
And you and I both got the feeling following Game
five yesterday on the show.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, it's just like tomorrow, tomorrow ends, ends the NBA season. Yeah,
and then we can finally get that out of the way.
You know, NHL just finished, NHL just finished up.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Get it out of there.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
NBA will finish up tomorrow, get them out of there.
Baseball will hold us, hold us over until til we
get the training camp, you know, not to the season.
It's a training camp. Yeah, you know, we're like seventy
some days away, seventy some odd days away from getting

(09:37):
to some real games. Like I know for Penn State
that it's like what like, uh, I'll tell you, hold on,
give me one second here, I will tell you exactly
when to expect the game. Seventy three days, nine hours,
fifty four minutes, eighteen seconds in counting. There you go.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
And by the way, on the clock, baby.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
July thirty, first, July thirty, first Hall of Fame game.
Let's go, Yeah, Lions Chargers, let's go. I mean And
for those of you that want to dismiss that game
and say, well, it's just a Hall of Fame game,
what does that game?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's gonna be a fun game?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I got news for you.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Some of the garbage you guys watch, all right, you
should sit down and shut your mouths okay, because you
watch some garbage ass games and other sports all the time,
and we have to be force fed why we should
care about it. The Hall of Fame game will get
full coverage on this show, I can assure you. July thirty,
first coming up between the Bolts and the Lions.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Oh more ball and Campbell. Come on, man, backups is
them backups are going to thump?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh yeah, it's the Meathead Bowl.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
They going thump. Yeah. Now that's a that's a perfect
matchup for first game. Because them babies out there, them
young men, I can't say babies, but them young men,
they're going they're going thump.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
They're not even gonna hand them a gatorade during breaks.
They're just gonna hand him like a piece of ribbi.
So here you go, roll. Yeah, this is this is
what we're doing. Pittsburgh st Yeah, little Pittsburgh style for
the Hall of fame game there. But that is the
the update. We bid farewell to the Stanley Cup and
the NHL Playoffs, and then we will bid farewell to

(11:26):
the NBA playoffs coming up as soon as Tyrese Haliburton
is nowhere close to one hundred percent and the Indiana
Pacers are eliminated. Would have been fun for seven games,
just not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
In the NBA.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
For the sake of conversation, it would be interesting if
Indiana forced a Game seven for the for the sake
of conversation, this is sports talk radio. It would be
interesting if the Pacers came out, found a way to

(11:58):
win this upcoming game and and force this thing into
a game seven.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
But isn't are we delaying the inevitable because they get
to a game seven and they're probably gonna get mutilated.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
But well, just tell us, I feel like I want
to agree with you, but doesn't doesn't it give you
maybe a ray of hope, just maybe one, Maybe not
a whole bunch of rays, but maybe one ray of
hope that Game seven will deliver a blockbuster hit that

(12:35):
leads to who's being crowned the NBA champion this year?
That mean best case scenario playing out if we're being
serious and being sports talk radio hosts and we're talking
sports outside of football. I think it would be interesting
if the Pacers, knowing that Halliburton is banged up a

(12:56):
little bit, knowing that they're up against all odds to
beat a loaded, stacked OKAC Thunder team with the MVP
of the league, and that's ga on there having an
MVP series. Wouldn't it be interesting if I'm the captain

(13:16):
of the ship now led the Indiana Pacers into a
game seven?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Now, why do you you've made reference of that Pascal
siakam with the I'm the captain now? What is what
are you getting out there?

Speaker 6 (13:29):
When?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
What's that movie called? He starred in a movie? Go
look up his his uh his credits, Like you get
on that what is it? I am d or something
like that? What is it called?

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Le uh?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Why is the bar keeper calling Pascal? You mean Captain Phillips.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
With Captain Phillips.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Pascal Siak was in that movie.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yes, really, that's he made the line I'm the captain now, Yeah,
that was I'm right there. That's him start in the movie.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
It's really gained weight.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Lou Cutty short I'm the cuptain.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Now, well, that's an old movie. It's a very old movie.
He was, he was a little lighter back then. Night
he's a he's a grown man now. He found his
way in basketball. He was lighter back then, no kidding, not.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Not lighter complected, but lighter in weight.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Hey, you know, weren't you light? Weren't you lighter in weight?
Years and years? That's like ten, fifteen, twenty years ago.
How old is that movie, Lee Captain Phillips.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, so, by the way, I.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Never saw twenty eleven.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Really it's that old bro he was.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
He was a young fellow back then.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Man, was it twenty eleven?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thirteen?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Twenty thirteen is when it was?

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Okay, two years off anyway, it's still it's right there.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I never saw a young man. I never saw that movie.
It looked like it sucked.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
But the that that it was based off it was
two thousand and nine. There you go.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Pirates, Yeah, he played a well listen, and wouldn't it
be great if he played a pirate in these NBA finals?
It would be great because that's not their ship. It's
not their ship, Chip, ship Chip, but they could go
take it if that man were to lead the Indiana
Pacers to a championship and said when he got m

(15:23):
VP of the series, I am the captain of this championship.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
By the way, did Pascal Siakam win an Oscar for
that role?

Speaker 5 (15:32):
Was not?

Speaker 2 (15:33):
I'm almost positive he did. Are you serious, Captain Phillips?
The uh he didn't win an Oscar for that league.
You're supposed to be some oscars honk here, so you're
always gassing up the academy. I believe, I believe that
actor did get best supporting.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well not, I don't think it he won best supporting,
but uh, standby and his name.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Is Pascal.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Guy's got a hell of a up shot.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Who knew?

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Damn?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
He gets slashed it around place allified deepense days.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
They weren't shooting. He's doing layup drills.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
On boat.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Layups, jumpers.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
He was up though, he was up for it.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
It was so he lost about that man, So he
lost in six games there too, interesting runner up.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Don't be a runner up this time past. Now you
gotta get it.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
You are a class act.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn LeVar Errington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six a m. Eastern three am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
While Hey man.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
What man? Hey, bruh, they after Caitlyn Clark.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Man, it's wild.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
They gotta let her live, brou they trying to assassin? Yeah,
did you see uh y'all male ticket, y'all out there
trying to kill her?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Ye had to get it.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Did you see the uh?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
This feels like a reckless accusation by h Brian wrote
in on Twitter and said, this bleep Jonas was in
the fetal position, lashing out with his fellow bleeps, trying
to defend his goat athlete Kate Clark against her players
picking on her. Now, part of that is accurate, and
the part that's accurate is it does feel like a

(17:31):
concerted effort by the at least a large portion of
the w NBA to go out of their way to
make life hell for their meal ticket. I just don't
get it. I don't understand. I do not understand how
they're they're not looking at her and saying, hey, if

(17:51):
she's bringing all of this to our league and it's
going to mean more money for all of us, and
it's gonna be better for everybody involved. Why are we
trying to get rid of it?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
If I'm Caitlyn Clark, I'm hiring a dope ass lawyer
and I'm going to sue and try to own the
w NBA, and then I'm retiring. Yeah, then I'm retiring because, honestly,
at some point, the brutality on that young lady, it's

(18:25):
not okay. It's not okay, man, It's just it's not
It's a sport. Listen, you might be a little jealous
of her athletic ability, you know, I get it. I
mean there's a lot that goes into the physicality of
playing at the pro level. She knows how to dish

(18:47):
it out. That's once that should be stated. She does
know how to dish out some physicality as well. But
the assertive effort going towards her Jonas is it's to me,
it's it's to the point now where it's going over

(19:07):
the line.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
I don't think it's a I've heard some people throw out, well,
it's a race issue. I don't think it is. I
just think it's it's jealousy. I think it's pettiness. I
don't think that it's just a black and white thing.
Cedric Maxwell tells this story about when Larry Bird came
to training camp the first time with the Celtics, that

(19:31):
he was looking at him, going, oh, this is going
to be easy work, and then after the first practice
he was like, never mind, it just you could you
just realized all birds that good. It didn't matter what
color he was, He's just that good.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
That was more.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
I felt like maybe a little bit of that early
on in his career. This just feels like pettiness. It
feels like jealousy, and it feels like people that.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Are so.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Narrow minded in their apro coach and view of their
league and also what it could do for their career,
like this, this could be great for everybody's career involved
all the other opportunities that could that could come along
with it. And I brought this up before. I think
it was Charles Barkley was in an interview and he

(20:18):
said when Magic Johnson signed that big contract he got,
the Sixers players were high fiving in the locker room.
They weren't upset, they were happy about it because they
looked at that and said, well, if he's getting that
kind of money, that's great for all of us, like
like that, that's good for everybody involved. And instead in
the w n b A, all they're doing is trying

(20:39):
to diminish it, like they're just trying, they're trying to
stop it before it can really get going.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I don't understand everybody. Everybody's taking shots at her. By
the way, it's not a it's not a race thing,
it's not a black white thing. It's you know, it's
a Caitlin Clark thing. And and and with that being said,
and listen, I don't watch the WNBA like that. I
look for the headlines, I look at the highlights, and

(21:08):
I could one hundred percent take a lot of things
out of context. So I'm not going to go that
deep into it. Just at a surface level, I will say,
these these women hate Caitlyn Clark. They and you could say,
all right, well you get on the floor and it's

(21:28):
going to be a physical game, get it. It's the pros.
So at that level, it is physical, get it. But
the physicality against Caitlyn Clark in the way that it's
being executed, in the things that I'm seeing, it is
one hundred percent of Caitlyn Clark. Thing is something about

(21:50):
Caitlyn Clark, even more so, I think, even more so
than her game, Because her game is serious, she still
ends up getting hers in the games and looking at
the stat lines, she's still she's still thriving. But there's

(22:11):
something more to it. Now, whatever that is, I don't know,
and I'm I don't pretend to know, but there's something
more to it. Jonas as to why these girls are
so inflamed by Caitlyn Clark, I don't get it. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Like, is Caitlyn Clark the fastest ballplayer?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
No?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Is she the tallest ballplayer?

Speaker 5 (22:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Is she the prettiest ballplayer?

Speaker 4 (22:40):
No? Is she the is she? She might? Well?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
The only category that she stands the top of is
most talented and most most popular. Like that is where
she's at the top of the mountain. And to me
and listen, you can say, damn, But I mean, I
ain't trying to throw shade, but there are I mean,

(23:05):
there are probably more than a ton of girls in
a WNBA that look better than Kitlyn Clark. Just esthetically speaking,
I'm just you know, I'm just always wanting to try
to speak my truth. But listen. I just I think
at some point though, there has to be like the

(23:26):
whole Angel Reese Kitlyn Clark thing. I don't see it
as being a Magic Bird thing, because Magic.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
And Bird really were peers.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
They really were like it really was, they were that good.
I think that. I think that they're both polarizing figures,
but Caitlyn Clark is for real, the real deal in
terms of a game changer as a player. I don't,
you know, Angel Reese. I get it, she's broken records,

(24:03):
she's done some pretty good things when she was a rookie,
But I just don't see them being peers in terms
of the impact that that they're having. And that could
be ignorance. I don't And if I get called out
on that, that's okay, that could be ignorance. But I
just don't see this as if, if if the whole

(24:25):
ultimate goal is that Caitlyn Clark has taken the league
by storm, you want to leverage Caitlyn Clark, but to
be able to make a villain and a hero scenario
where you have these adversaries, these these arch enemies that
are driving the league, I don't think that's Angel Reese,

(24:49):
And so to me, there are other girls in the league,
and I get that the whole idea of them coming
out in the draft together, they compete it at a
high level in college. I mean, those girls had really
dope teammates. LSU was a dope basketball team. Jonas Iowa

(25:10):
was a dope basketball team. But nonetheless, there is no
mistaking that the differences is LSU was a team that
was really good.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Iowa was a team that was really good.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
But Caitlyn Clark was easily the catalysts of why that
team was really good.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
I actually watched back then.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
But I think this is a miss if they continued
to allow this and they don't put a stop to
this some way, somehow, which I don't know how they
do it, But if they don't put a stop to
this and get a get a hold of these these
girls doing what they're doing to her, she's going to
get hurt bad for real. And that ain't good.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
That was legitimate contact last night where she got clawed
in the face and then somebody just came't.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Got blondsided, which, by the way, while we're talking, you said,
is this a racial thing?

Speaker 4 (26:03):
At the beginning of the deal, those were two white girls.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
That I don't even think it was like different shades
of white. I think they were both like right around
the same tint. To be honest with you, as somebody
who's pale, I can speak on that. I'll speak down.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah. I said light skin and dark skin in the
first first hour, so with with Pascal and Haliburton, so
you know.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, but I'm with you, man. I don't understand how
there's not more of an uproar or people within the
w NBA offices, even if they even have offices. Maybe
they just have a couple of cubicles somewhere. Whatever they got,
get together and figure out a way to cut the crap.
You've got something in your hands that can make everybody

(26:53):
else greater, uh wealthier, bring more eyeballs to the to
the league, like this is your golden goose, so to speak.
And instead all they're trying to do is is diminish it,
hurt her, foul her, throw her off her game. Like
if you saw the ratings dip that it took when

(27:13):
she was out of games, and then she comes back.
You've seen the attendance. You've seen the attendance in w
NBA arenas everywhere, go up. It's not a coincidence, man,
and there's and there's nothing wrong with it.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
You know, listening to you Jonas, you know what it
gives me? Honestly, dang am I going to do this?
This gives me Michael Jordan, do you remember what they
was doing to Mike early on.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
In his career. They were beating his ass, I mean
beating him down.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Like to this this degree, which is crazy because they
I mean maybe not quite as as bad with Caitlyn Clark,
because they were getting at Mike, and Mike had to
go into the weight room. Mike had to start working
out and lifting weights and getting stronger to be able
to deal with you know, the amount of brutality against

(28:14):
I think the comparable here, I do believe, and I
do declare today at seven thirteen am in State College,
Pennsylvania at the last building that this is. Caitlin Clark
is a more comparable figure in terms of where she
is in what she represents. It is not a comp

(28:34):
to make it a Magic and Bird comparison. It's a
Michael Jordan comparison. Because you got a guy that came
in and was able to capture everybody's imagination. He had
everybody on the edge of their seats. What was he
going to do next? And you know what, the Detroit

(28:56):
Pistons they beat him up. The Boston Celtics, they beat
him up. These teams beat him up. And that's what
Caitlyn Clark is getting right now. She came in, She
has people on the edges of their seat. She is
a polarizing figure. You're looking at someone who is making

(29:17):
history in the in the present moment. You may never
you haven't seen a Caitlyn Clark to this point, and
there's a strong possibility you may never see another Caitlyn Clark.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Ever.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Again, you're seeing the beginnings of the same type of
meteoric rise that Michael Jordan had when he was in
the younger days of his career. That to me, for
women's basketball, the better comp is that Caitlyn Clark has

(29:54):
the Michael Jordan aura. And yeah, that's what this is.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And you know it's even what makes it even worse
to that point as well, is that when Michael Jordan
first came in and he was being there was rough
house constantly, and they were hurting him and he was
getting injured and he had to go to the weight
room and all that. The NBA was healthy, like you
still had stars there. It was a healthy product. It
was entertaining, it was interesting. You had the Lakers and

(30:20):
the Celtics and the Pistons and all these great teams,
the Sixers, all these great teams. The WNBA had nothing
like this.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
This was it.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
You got it. It's right here. And their Clawner in
the face and blindsidener. I just the whole thing is
puzzling to me. I really do not understand that level
of pettiness and jealousy. I don't get it. I just
don't get it.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
But it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
But it makes for the story because that is more
of the story than the w NBA itself, which is
that's even more interesting, is that you have to drive
the storylines.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Again.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
I sit in in the first hour and I'll say
it again, and now we're too. I love football. I
love the demographic, you know, I love I love the
entertainment aspect of it. I love the experience of what
football creates in media, not just in the game itself,
but what it creates in terms of coverage and conversation

(31:18):
in media. I don't have give me like for all
the people out there that may be judging.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Us on like.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Looking at it from this this perspective, give me a
better storyline for the w NBA. Where's the where's the
other storylines? No other storylines dominate the headlines. There are
no dominant headlines from the w NBA. You have one

(31:47):
and and and that's what the sports sports coverage leans into.
That's the relevance of it all. You have one, and
you're allowing her to get her ass whooped. I don't
get it.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
It's weird.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (32:01):

Hello, by the way, a happy belated birthday.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
I hope you happy birthday, my guy.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
I hope you got uh got my text I sent
you on your birthday night?

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (32:42):
I wasn't sure if you didn't reply, so I wasn't
sure if you were upset about.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Any day you have been on his friends list. Man,
that's too bad you texted me.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
I did you texted me? Damn?

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Jodahs doesn't answer people's text or calls away from here either.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
It's gerald.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Y. Yeah, since you ever opened?

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Oh really? Yeah? Here back?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
It's unfortunate. Thanks, by the way, I can't I'm.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Great, wonderful.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
How did you celebrate?

Speaker 4 (33:16):
I don't want to talk about it. What's what?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Why do you want to talk about it?

Speaker 4 (33:21):
What happened? It's just I do am radio and my
birthday brings too much attention.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Oh all right, well hey, that's a good reason for me.
I mean, I'll leave it alone. Yeah, that's fine, all right,
I know though that Just tell me, just tell me
right now, act like you didn't tell me. You know
about what your birthday?

Speaker 2 (33:42):
How do you celebrate?

Speaker 4 (33:43):
That's it?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
How'd you celebrate it? What'd you do?

Speaker 2 (33:45):
But if you don't get into it.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Saturday I had lunch with my parents. Sunday I went
to a Father's Day party at a friend's house, And
Monday I had to go.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
To the Dodger gate a nice Speaking of the Dodger
why did the.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
The head two part was it.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
Became way too much because of the Otani thing, like
we didn't know, you know, and we were doing the
show from there, and it ended up being great because
it was a big day for the Dodgers. But I've
never seen Dodger Stadium ever like that, ever, not for
a World Series game, not for Otani bobblehead night. I

(34:26):
guess so Tani bobblehead night. You know, people get there
early to get the bobblehead or now they figured that
they can't do their normal cutoff of whatever it is,
twenty twenty five thousand bobbleheads. They have to give every
single person that walks in there a bobblehead or there's
going to be a war in the streets because people
line up early in the morning if not, so that's

(34:47):
kind of a thing. But I've never seen Dodger Stadium
where everybody is in their seat ready to go for
first pitch because it's so hard to get in there.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
It's such a process.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
But until everybody knew that he was only going to
pitch you a one inning, maybe two turned out to
be only one and the whole place was so anticipatory.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
It was very interesting.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
The other thing was they they they don't play the
organ or anything like between pitches when he's pitching, Like,
I guess he doesn't like it.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Oh so it's just like dead silent, dead silent, like
like golf while people were waiting for the next pitch.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
It was.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
It was a very interesting dynamic. And you know what
his walk up song is? Uh, oh.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
No, it's no big deal. I would say, what's the guy?
What what is that song called? Oh yeah, got I
forget his name? Style style?

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yeah, well that guy's I mean, I wasn't trying to
match him up. I just thought that that might be
the song that he liked. Sigh, that guy.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
I remember, there's a there's a there's a video of
that Korean guy because back then the Dodgers had.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
A horrible that's horrible, It's okay.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
The Dodgers had a Korean pit picture and they had
that guy sigh and he was very popular, and they
had that guy sigh dancing around at Dodger Stadium and
Tommy Lesworda was still alive, and there's a great picture
of Lesorda just like staring at that guy dancing around

(36:39):
and no there the song showing a toddy song is
a feeling good.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Which is really old song.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
It's from nineteen sixty Yeah, huh good, Yeah, really yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
And the funny thing is is like, I mean, that's
Michael Boublay, a relatively contemporary jazz singer, a Canadian idiot.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
But good song.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
It's a great song and it's old. It's from the sixties.
Walk out to.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
Yeah, I don't know man, the soul and not only
not only is that his walkout when he when he kids,
you know, when he pitches. They played the whole thing,
you know, so they were banging that. But that's an
old song from a musical. I would encourage others to
listen to the Nina Simone version of it.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
That's a wonderful version of it, by the way, And
that's brush.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
That's probably the first jazz version of it. I mean,
before that, it was like so many jazz standards. It
was in a musical called Smell of the Crowd.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Voice Nina Simone has huh.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
Well, Nina Simon is an interesting story.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
Nina Simone, a tall woman, was a piano player, very famous,
well not famous, but very skilled jazz pianist at the time,
and she was on tour and she went somewhere and
the guy's like whatever. The promoter or the booker was like, hey,
where is the where's her? Yeah, where's the singer? And

(38:14):
they were like, well, we don't sing and we don't
have a singer. She just plays the piano. And they
were like, if you don't have a singer, yelling and paid.
So she started singing and she became you know what
she is today, Nina Simone, one of the great jazz
voices of all time and a.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Very unique voice.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
She's gone now right, Oh, yeah, she's been.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Dead for she's gone. She shot. She shot a child,
her neighbor. She's too loud. Yeah, she shot very good, LeVar,
she shot.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
I liked them, feel like I know a few things
like you not as much as you, but I'm not.
It's not a competition, no, But she shot me. You know,
most people don't care about playing off of you though. Yeah,
most people don't care about you know, dead jazz artists
from decades and decades ago. But she shot a neighbors
child in France because the kid wouldn't shut up. And
the funny thing was in France, they were like, it's

(39:06):
Nina Simone. It was a low caliber pistol, you know,
but she was a volatile lady. The first song she
sang was a very famous called I Loves You, Poor
Yee from Porgy and Bess, which is a very famous
one of the very first operas American written operas, at

(39:27):
least that we remember, by George and Ira Gershwin.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
So Nina Simone with.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
The Baltimore but that's my favorite of verse.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Oh yes, that's a good one. Yeah, we wrote that song.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
Randy Newman I think wrote that song or somebody very yes,
somebody weird that you wouldn't think of. I knew the
guy that wrote I Will Survive. Hmmm, and he was
a little old You think it would be like a
big fat black lady, right.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
You know, big old, right, old juicy one, right, you know,
a huge.

Speaker 6 (40:06):
Yeah, the right I Will Survive was actually an old
Greek guy with a big gray afro named Dino Ficaris.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Well, it makes sense these days.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
He also wrote Reunited and it Feels So good. Oh wow,
that makes sense these days once again. So so the
Greek tani was doing the warm up pitching and they
were playing the.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
And then everybody got pumped up when.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
Everybody had a real bond dignity.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Hey, why did they Why do the Padres have such
a red ass? Is it because they're they peaked and
now they're starting to uh come all the way back down,
so they're throwing at Otani.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Well, you know, you get like after like.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
A big event like that that only lasts like five minutes,
you know, kind of like watching one hundred.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
Meter final in the Olympics.

Speaker 6 (41:09):
Yeah, there is a little bit of a letdown, like, oh, okay,
watch no playing baseball. You know, when's he going to
pitch again? Well maybe an inning in a week, So okay,
So you got to come on to the next thing.
And the next thing is a nice Well they call
it a bean ball war, but it's not really a
bean ball unless somebody throws it at.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
The other guy's head. That's what bean balls are.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
And people have been nailed in the ribs or in
the middle of the back and they threw it out
of Tawny's leg. That was interesting, And then Dave Roberts
went out there, so that made it compelling. Yeah, Dodgers
Padres is a great modern day rivalry. It's not what
the Dodgers Giants is it doesn't have the great history
of that. And the Giants are playing well, and they

(41:51):
just traded for that guy from the Red Sox Devers
and he's going to be good for them, so that's
kind of interesting. The Giants are sort of popped up
Buster Posey's doing making moves, but the Dodgers padres is
a thing and it's fun to watch Manny Machado and
Tatis and these guys go at it with the Dodgers.

(42:12):
But the Dodgers, I think, have won four of the
last five, you know, so they have their number a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
So maybe that's why they have a red ass. But
it makes it interesting.

Speaker 6 (42:21):
I mean, we're talking about baseball here in the middle
of June, and normally that's kind of a spin your
wheels time for the sport. And there's stuff happening in
La Shoe. Eotani's pitching, that's a big deal. So it's
something to embrace this time of year and not as
much we have to lament usc status like I.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Usually do, which is interesting. I guess a segue from
that is, I mean, obviously this isn't the seemingly which
is crazy to think that We're not in a very
very fast time for sports, even though you know, we
got game Game six coming up tomorrow with the NBA Finals,

(43:04):
and to have these conversations the Stanley Cup just wrapped up,
To have these conversations surrounding baseball at this time of
the year, with the championship rounds of other sports going on,
and if to.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
Be in LA where you're you're locally.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Covering these things at you know, such a close eye,
how does that like, does it feel different like from
year to year? Petro's like this time last year, Is
it different from where we're at right now today? Is
it like more excitement?

Speaker 4 (43:39):
I think that's a good question.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
But what's happened over the years is and we had
a little bit of this conversation I think a couple
of weeks ago or last week, and I've repeated a
couple of the points that you guys made to people
talking about.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Them in season.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
You're hoping, if you're a sports league, right you're hoping
that you remain relevant throughout.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
You know, something happened.

Speaker 6 (44:03):
Somebody scores a bunch of points, somebody hits a bunch
of home runs, there's a fight, you know, there's something
something to talk about.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
But part of the art of these sports leagues or.

Speaker 6 (44:16):
Whatever is keeping themselves relevant a year round on the calendar.
Colin Cowher had Jim Harbaugh on yesterday, and Jim Harbaugh
was at the Dodger game and he asked him about
Shoe Hayotani and he's talking. You know, it's the most
animated he got in the whole interview, talking for two

(44:37):
three minutes about how impressed he was.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
With Shoe Heotani.

Speaker 6 (44:42):
The NFL has become masterful and handling their off season,
the draft, all of these different things. The Aaron Rodgers
drama seemingly there's always always something to talk about, and
you can be so stupid like ESPN and even put
up a chiro that says, what's Dak Prescott's legacy right now?

Speaker 4 (45:04):
You know?

Speaker 6 (45:04):
I mean they're having these conversations in June when guys
are running around with no pads and helmets on for
like two or three days. I remember basketball did a
much better job for a long time. Remember when they're following.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Kawhi Leonard around Canada and a great helicopter.

Speaker 6 (45:24):
Remember when DeAndre Jordan was dating Doc Rivers' daughters, so
he could become you know, stay with the Clippers.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
You know, you remember they had the emojis, Like different
players are posting emojis on Twitter trying to land de
Andre Jordan and Mark Cuban went after christ Gizard afterwards.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
It's great.

Speaker 6 (45:42):
Geeor McGee's doing videos about Andre Drummond like he's gonna
somehow make a difference for the Lakers, you know, I
mean the off season things become a deal. And look
at baseball. When the Dodger signed not Tani, it was
like a Japanese party. And then they signed Yamamoto, Japanese party.

(46:03):
They signed Roki Sasaki, Japanese off season party.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
By the way, I remember being on the air when
Gordon I remember being on the air when Gordon Hayward
signed with the Celtics, and and some guy from Utah
called in and said he was driving across the state
line to go buy booze because he was so depressed
about Gordon Hayward. Those are the good old days.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
Yeah, but you know, like it's something to do in
the off season, and I think we did you make
this point. I mean, college football's offseason sucks.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
College football's offseason has become like the worst thing ever.
It's become something so unsavory that nobody even wants to
deal with. You know, the transfer portal makes people sick,
the NIL makes people sick. All the different confusing conference changes,
and everybody's suing each other.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Every commissioner's campaigning for their conference to get more automatic quality.

Speaker 6 (46:55):
And every commissioner and the SEC's campaigning to leave the NCAA,
which is inevitable.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
I mean, you know, it's just not as fun as
DeAndre Dordon Jordan and Doc River's daughter.

Speaker 6 (47:09):
That's a fair Like I'd almost rather listen to Steve
Kerr and Popovich bitch about politics, and I don't want
to hear those guys like, you know, I mean, you
guys are basketball coaching, Like what's going on?

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Like seriously, why do you have to do that?

Speaker 6 (47:24):
Like it's like a press conference, like you're sitting in
the White House, like give an oppresser.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
So what do you think about this new policy change?
We'll let me tell you. Thanks Steve Kerr.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
So, you know, I mean, it is interesting how how
damaging our off season is becoming college football. I don't
really think it effects when the game start. I think
people get really excited, like all of us and want
to see what happens. And when the teams put are
put together, then that's it. It should be it and
we should play. But they've got to figure out a

(48:01):
better off season because everybody else has it figured out
way better than we do, even punk ass NBA.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
That's interesting.

Speaker 6 (48:10):
Well we have is Lebron's podcast, you know this time
of year, So wait for him to say something stupid
and then you know we have to make twenty minutes
out of it.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
He's coming back, Well, his podcast came back the other day.
Is he coming back?

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Oh? I don't care as.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
Long as he says something on this podcast stupid and
we can make fun of him for ten minutes. Steve
Nash yesterday the low energy podcaster Steve Nash out of
the South Bay by Way of Canada, Lebron said the
A all be all like A and B like the
letters in the alphabet, as opposed to the end all

(48:47):
be all, you know, because he's trying to sound smarter.

Speaker 4 (48:51):
Uh, and I got him like ten minutes out of
that time.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
Hey, I even say it like Andre Nicotina, a all
y'all f around with a y'all all up in my knees.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
All must have been crazy, y'all. That's really good. That's
that's like a really fire bar right there.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Bro. Thank you Nicotina Ao for yo.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Hey, what was the name of the woman you mentioned earlier?
That that shot?

Speaker 4 (49:19):
That kid?

Speaker 2 (49:20):
The tall woman? Who is Anna Simone? Speaking of tall women,
what do you make of the treatment of Caitlin Clark
by the w n b A and the rough housing
that is going on?

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Can I admit a guilty pleasure? Yes?

Speaker 3 (49:34):
You like it?

Speaker 4 (49:36):
I watch Kaitlin Clark highlights.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
Hey, like when the fever's over, Like when the game's
over and I see the fever have played, you know,
because it pops up somewhere Caitlin Clark hits eight point shot,
you know, or something like that. I go back on YouTube.
I mean there's a They do an incredible job on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Yeah they do. You know. They these are up ten minutes.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
The people that cut highlights, they're up ten, fifteen to
twenty minutes after the game is over. Sometimes Quicker and
I watched the highlights, and last night I watched the
highlights of her game. I was like, where's the whole fighting?
They only cut out They cut out all the mid
parts they only showed people making shots, so I had
to go back and look at that as well.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
They didn't show any of the rough housing.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
Well I found it. Oh yeah, but I didn't know that.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
They call the three white chicks that play for the
Indiana Fever trace La Chase.

Speaker 4 (50:32):
Did you guys know that?

Speaker 3 (50:34):
I know they look like they're pretty good looking girls.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Somebody did mention that.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
I say that from pretty girls tough.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
One of them from Stanford and one from miszoois Sophie.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yeah, she's from Missoo.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
The other one is from Stanford Hall or something, and
then the other one is is Caitlyn Clark.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
And they all are pretty white.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
You know. I mean Kaitlyn Park's real, like she never
left the gym, like you could tell, like she's translucently.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
White and uh and they call him the translation.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
That's interesting.

Speaker 6 (51:09):
The one thing I really am impressed with Caitlin Clark
I think when I watch you know, I'm no, I'm
not you know, Nay Smith or anything, but I watch
a lot of basketball and we do sports. Is just
I mean, the way she sees she sees the floor
and the way she distributes the ball is really the
wildest thing. In the world, which makes her so hard

(51:31):
to deal with because you try to double team her
because you know she's going to try to get that
shot off and she finds people like, you know, it
looks too easy, and it's pretty amazing. I love watching her,
and it's I mean, I hate to be such a
bandwagon guy because it's.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
Not like I was like, oh my god, I want
to watch this Iron Scoo.

Speaker 6 (51:52):
Tape, you know, or I wasn't watching you know, Sue
Bird or I mean, I came from usc where Cheryl
Miller as a legend, and I watch a little Juju
I guess before her leg fell off in the and
that was tough to watch.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
But but yeah, I watch her.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
I'm I'm on the hype train, you know, and I
have been for a couple of years. I've been watching
her highlights since maybe her senior year at Iowa or
her junior year, and I just I love to watch
her compete.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
She's great, she really is. I wish I could say something.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Snarky, can I can I ask this.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
To you?

Speaker 3 (52:31):
You say you watch that, because that's exactly you kind
of said it exactly the same way I said it.
Am I off, I know Jordan didn't shoot like like
Caitlyn Clark shoots because it just wasn't the necessity back then.
But everybody tries to make the comp of Angel Reese
and Caitlyn Clark and put them together and say that's

(52:52):
the comp is bird Magic and Caitlyn and Angel Reese.
I think the comp from what I'm seeing and how
she's getting banged up but still trying to figure it out,
still producing her points and still adjusting and adapting is
to Jordan. And I know it might sound crazy, but
when you really think about it, when did you have

(53:14):
a player that hit met the caliber of what Michael
Jordan was to the NBA when he got there? And
what has that been post Jordan? Right, yeah, there's nobody.
There's been nobody. Way, yeah, there's been nobody where you're
just like this person is, you know, six feet.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
Above sea level and everybody else is under under the water,
all right, you know.

Speaker 6 (53:36):
And in the sports pantheon, I mean it reminds me
of you Saint Bolt, you know, running one hundred and two.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
I mean he's winning, yeah, he's wincorns.

Speaker 6 (53:48):
Yeah he's winning, but he's also fifteen or ten meters
faster in one hundred meter race than the other ten
fastest guys on Earth, which is that's stupid, Like you're
not supposed to be that much better than everybody else.
Those guys are hauling ass. I mean, it's not like

(54:08):
he's out there running against the West Torrance Sprinting Team.
No offense to the Warriors. So that's kind of what
it like. That's like I saw something, Dominique. Well, we
are talking. It's so crazy that Michael Jordan played so
long ago comparatively to how much stuff, Like most stuff
we mentioned from Michael Jordan's era to anybody that's not

(54:32):
you know, your age or or around there, they.

Speaker 4 (54:36):
Don't know it.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
You know, they don't ever seen You don't know what
the gobots are. You know, they got no love for Mask.
You know, they don't understand the real characters of G. I.
Joe like Zartan.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Yeah, come on, commander baby, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
They can tell you what happened between Jordan and the
bad boys.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Right, are you talking about mask Eric Stoltz?

Speaker 6 (54:59):
Are you talking no about talking mask Eric Staltz, the
modern day ellanphant man. I'm talking that the toy mask anyway, exactly.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
No one remembered with Jim Carrey.

Speaker 6 (55:09):
No, No, like that was that was like that was
a cartoon called Mask and it was like this giant
mechanical mask and a sweet car would go around it
and the dude would kick ass and the mask.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
See.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
I think that that was misleading though, because I know,
but that's.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (55:26):
It makes my point that people don't remember anything from
that era. There was the kid in the movie that
ended up like, you know, passing away at the end
of the movie. That share was the mom like there's that.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
He looked like Brian Scalabrini or boiler alerting. Yeah, he
did look like scalabrin yeahaction.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
I don't care about spoiler alerts.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
So you go, you go. You know what I'm saying.
You know, if you're gonna I mean, it's a thirty
year old movie. If you're gonna say the guy.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
That big hitted boy dies at the end is what
it is he did, and he did he don't so
to the elephant anyway. Yeah, that was a really sad
movie man.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Yes, no doubt. So what I'm saying is super sad
movie man, Like.

Speaker 6 (56:11):
Michael Jordan's the only thing any of us, anybody remembers
from that era.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
We don't remember a lot of the stuff, and it's.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Because Jackson had the elephant Man's bones.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
He did.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Yeah, I'm dang used a couple.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
The elephant man's name. I believe Joseph Merrick or John Merrick.

Speaker 6 (56:28):
Anyway, it is important to understand that Michael Jordan is
so transcendent that no one ever says anything else about anybody.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Else from any other era.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
I remember Dominique Wilkins saying the other day, like people
don't understand what it was like competing against that guy,
Like we were great, but his eyes were red. He
was crazy, you know. And uh, and I think that's
what you know. I mean, I think you're right. You're
looking at somebody who's must watch television every time she's

(57:04):
playing basketball for basketball types. And I think, Kayln Clark,
I think that would be the comparison, you know, much
like me to some other stiff white running back ware.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Petros. It's always fun. We appreciate it. Thanks for doing it,
and we will have this conversation again next Wednesday.

Speaker 6 (57:25):

the group home and woke up early out at Anah.

Speaker 2 (57:30):

Fox College Football analyst. It is two pros and a
