(00:51):
last four games of Day two of the NCAA Tournament.
Well underway halftime. Illinois lead Xavier by five forty to
thirty five. Michigan State Bryant is hanging tough. Kobe's got
twenty six all by himself in the first half. The
Spartans lead it by five, though thirty one to twenty six.
Late in the first half, Oregon Cruising agains Liberty twenty
(01:14):
nine to fourteen, and the marquee game of the moment
right now, Yukon in a game where, hey, this is
the first time in three years we could see Yukon
lose a game in the tournament. They lead it though
over Oklahoma thirty seven to thirty two. Still a long
way to go here, forty sevenutes to go in a row,
Still fifteen minutes left to go in the second half.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A lot of anger, a lot of sloppy play in
these late games, except for Oregon Ducks taking care of business.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Now, before we get to the big NFL story, because
it looks like the brocalypses here. You heard Steve Disager
mention it a couple of seconds ago. We talked about
it a lot last hour and really gave you a
big thing on George Foreman in the life and career
he had. Foreman heavyweight Champion, passed away at the age
of seventy six, and you know, we kind of had
fun little joke, like, you know, a lot of people
only know him as the grill guy, Like people that
(02:05):
only know John Madden as the guy the video game, right,
I don't know. He was a coach in the NFL.
Really he once really he was okay, right, but looking
this up and then a big shout out to Kirk Kretschmar,
who is our affiliate director, said, hey, look up the
money Foreman made in boxing compared to what he made
as a grill entrepreneur. And yes, in the seventies when
(02:28):
you were boxed, this is the heyday of George Forming.
You're not making nearly as much money in boxing as
you were now or the later pay per view events
going on. But according to what I've been able to find,
like Foreman made about seventy five million dollars from boxing
in his career. Okay, now, that's pretty good, right for
a guy that fought in the seventies and eight you know,
(02:48):
and then retired and then came back in the nineties. Like,
that's still pretty good for boxing when you know you're
not you're not fighting that much, you took all that
time off, that's still pretty good. But then he goes
and becomes the real entrepreneur, and after being famous for
this in the nineties, he sells his business and in
(03:08):
the end he made two hundred million dollars just off
of his grill company, just off of the George Foreman,
grill like, that's what he made. He sold the business
for one hundred and thirty eight million dollars. At the
height he was, he was clearing four and a half
million dollars a month just on grill sales because he
had a great deal. He was getting like forty percent
(03:30):
of all the ground. Everything he sold was like, oh
my goodness. So even he fought, and he made seventy
five million dollars in his entire boxing career. Then he
goes afterward, Yeah, I'm going to start a grill company
and boom, there you go, two hundred million dollars. He
was worth about three hundred million, little over three hundred
million dollars at the time of his death earlier today.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, company creates the venue and then starts going around
looking for pitchmen. And it's been widely reported that they
wanted Hogan because he would have been at the height
of his popularity.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Uh, and he wanted more.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So George Foreman, your next man up, let's go, let's
make it work. And those numbers are served. Look at
the the boxing number, try and try to corroborate it.
Seventy five million for a guy that fought in the
seventies seems high.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
So I'm trying to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And I guess at the height of the pay per
view all you needed was two or three really big
pay paydays to get you to that number, right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But it's also about all the money he made. This
is not just in the in the fights that he fought.
This is hey, appearances he made as a boxer, like
being able to do whatever, you know, appearances he made,
whatever money he made as a pitch man, whatever, endorsements like,
that's all because he was That was all part of
his boxing career at that point.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, that's the question of how do we parse that out,
because you know, part of me is like as a pugilist,
what were his painting Look at you, it's eighty one
talking about times in the seventy six wins for his
seventy six years on this earth.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
That's pretty damn good.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, not to mention the three hundred million dollars
in a sense for all the Georges and everybody else
that he left behind in a legacy larger than life,
and look spawned that whole industry. We talked about it
a little bit last hour. When you talk about you know,
late night infomercials and everything else. The George Foreman grill
(05:21):
became the standard, right because of his boxing history. He
wasn't just relegated to late night TV. He was showing
up on all the morning shows, hanging out and having
a burger with Regis and Kathy Lee and all of
those kind of appearances to where you had just references
and spawning an entire industry. Hell, he's probably should have
been getting money off of everything going on with Shark
(05:43):
Tank all these years, based on the success of the
Fuhm and Grill.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And he was fun. He was a fun guy. He
was a fun guy away from the ring. Not many
boxers are like that, right, Like boxer boxers are serious dudes.
Right when you you got to be serious for that long,
it's it's hard to really be a fun guy. He
showed up and did all his all his endorsements, all
his appearances. He was fun. He left, he was he
liked to have a good time like he was. He
(06:08):
was so personable. And now you know that's half the
battle too. Hey, I like George Forman, and not only that,
he's kind of fun and yeah, give me more, let
me have more at George Ford, give me more at
George Foreman. Like that's that's like that, that's you know,
part of your you know, part of your whole aura
and and who you are. And like I said, you
don't see many boxes you walk around and go, hey,
what a great dude. That is really easy going. He's
(06:29):
just like to hang out and have fun and laugh
and be a practical jokers. That's That's not a lot
of dudes, but that was George Foreman.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He's in your circle and he's a good time and
then when things go south, he's he's got your back.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
With that that reach that I talked about last night.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
An yeah, there was the the ninety eight inch Reach
seventy eight or reach right, so one of those of
the old Michael Jordan poster, the wingspan poster.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I mean, think about that for for George Foreman.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's how you win go seventy six and five with
sixty eight career knockouts.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But I mean just a legend.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And again we we think about the pitch Man, and
that's how a lot of folks. You go to any
thrift store, you're gonna run into a George forman grill
or three.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Pitch tam and.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Ron, Billy Mays, Sure sure, shock the fact that I
just rattled three guys off that shack.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
For N one, Shack for N one show up to
the opening of an envelope?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah true?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now wait now shock for N one or for the
general like which general?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean all the pizzas and.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
He's on the CEO for them.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What's the heat board? What's the one he does the
heat icy icy high? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Oh Man, George Foreman, George Foreman, that brought us the
you know, shack saying okay, next.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Up, sure sure, exit out about a Fresco exit swalling dome.
Jason Smith, Mike carmon the tirach dot Com studios. I'll
have more on George for because we've got to get
into when we were Kings coming up in a bit
as well. But as I mentioned, we talked about this
for the last couple of years, and now it looks
like the Brocolypse is here. According to NFL Network, who
(08:16):
Boy NFL Network in the news a lot Today or
in the rumored dues a lot Today, Brock Party lining
up to live in the neighborhood of a fifty five
to sixty million dollars a year deal with the forty
nine Ers. Now, first, I want to go way back
to last year when I said the Broclips is cut.
This is your last chance in the off season. And
(08:37):
I don't know how many forty nine Ers fans. No,
we just franchised and we don't need to extend them. Yeah,
you don't do that to your quarterback. If you want
to keep them, you're gonna have to sign him in
the off season. Tadah, here's where we are, and already
we're seeing numbers thrown around fifty five sixty million dollars,
whether this is from Brock Perty's camp, whether this is
what it's going to take to sign him. But now
the Brocalypse is here. Fifty five to sixty million for
(08:59):
Brock Party. And I'll be the first guy to tell
you I don't pay him that I don't. It's difficult
because the forty nine ers are sort of stuck because, yeah,
they've been living the last few years with Perty on
his rookie deal. It's a bad rookie deal being mister Irrelevant.
But they were able to go in. They went all
in for the Super Bowl and what happened didn't happen.
(09:19):
So they had the jettison a lot of contracts. And
now what are you gonna do when you're paying brock Purty. Right,
you already say goodbye to Deebo, Samuel Brandon Ayuka is
injured last year and other players you had to let go.
The forty nine ers era is over, and now you
got to pay your quarterback. Brock Purty is a good quarterback, right,
He's good? But is he a Is he a sixty
(09:40):
million dollar a year quarter of No? Dak Prescott's not.
And that's what he got brock Purty. I can't pay
him sixty million dollars a year. You know what kind
of deal he deserves it. I'm being this and I
say deserve, I mean this is what he's earned. Brock Purty,
on his best day over the course of the last
three years, did not put up a season like Sam
Darnold put up this year. The Vikings, he just didn't.
(10:01):
He just didn't this year twenty touchdowns. It was a
very pedestrian like season. And I think what you saw
from brock Purty is that when he doesn't have all
kinds of all pro weapons at his disposal, Christian McCaffrey
in his prime, Deebo Samuel in his prime before he's
fallen off, Brandon Ayuk in his prime, George Kittle in
his prime, Trent Williams the best left tackle in the
(10:22):
game when he's got all those guys around him. Yeah,
he's okay, right, Hey, wow, look at Brock party.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
If Brock Purdy had shown up on a different team,
I Brock Purty had shown up on the Jets, Is
he really this guy? Of course not. Brock Purdy is
a guy that plays well because you had all kinds
of great talent around him. Now, last year, what happened
when Christian McCaffrey was hurt and Brandon Ayuk was hurt
and Deebo Samuel is not the same all of a sudden,
his production got to be league average and a little
(10:51):
bit less. But he works in that system, right, So
I'm gonna be fair here. He works in that system
with San Francisco, and there's something to be said for that,
because without a quarterback is miserable. So I would do this.
I would say, Okay, Brock, here's what we're gonna do
for you, because it's very similar, and you know, for
three years. Now. Perty did get to a Super Bowl
on a load, absolutely loaded team. But if I want
(11:13):
to compare him to Sam Darnold, that's what I would
do for Brock. Party. Here we go three years and
one hundred and ten million, and I'll guarantee it all
for you. We'll go three and one ten and I'll
guarantee every say no money, do here about three and
one ten and that's what you get because party is
Perty is good. He works with this. But sixty million dot,
come on, man, bro show me something. Brock Purty's really
(11:34):
really done where you can say, wow, this guy needs
sixty million dollars in lead for three years? Okay, Yeah,
he had one really good year. He threw thirty one touchdowns,
again loaded when the team was absolutely loaded. Not loaded.
This year, not nearly the same guy. And the thing
about him is he's shown you this year he's not
one of those top elite top six quarterbacks in the NFL.
(11:57):
The list we've given you of the guys that are
so good, that are the best of the best, because
not only are they great, but they make everybody around
them better. It doesn't matter the weapons they have, they
make them all better. Brock Purty doesn't do that, right,
but he's again, I want to be fair, and it's
not like I'm saying the guy stinks. But if Sam
Donald coming off a forty four thousand yard, thirty five
(12:18):
touchdown year and the Vikings go fourteen and three, if
he gets three and one ten, okay, that's kind of
the nut. That's where I would go for brock Purty.
I see you have all of it, but three and
one ten, And I'm not gonna go further that because
what if brock Purty falls off a cliff? What if
you see that? Boy? Really we're struggling because well, you know,
McCaffrey has hurt again, and now Brandon Ayuku is not
to whatever you want to say. Everything else is happening
(12:40):
and he's not the same guy. Well, okay, well, at
least we only have two more years on this deal
before you get out of it. But three years and
one ten, that's what I would do for brock Purty.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Well, I mean, you look at your guy, Sam Donald.
You had six years of whatever you thought of Sam Donald, right,
A couple of years played extensive football on decide you
know what the coefficient is ahead of being the Jets
quarterback and how that affects your algorithm as you decide
what to pay a guy and how much that time
(13:09):
detracts from him or he should get bonus points for
surviving it. All of that to say, brock Perdy had
the twenty twenty three season, he was still a top
ten in terms of quarterback raiding guy.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You know, it's a look.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
If we're gonna use that, sometimes that becomes the be
all to end all for folks. Right of what was
his quarterback rating, I'm kind of there's noise to it
because then you go to the QBR, the one that
they made up over at the four letter, so you
can go to that, but still top ten if you
(13:43):
exclude the guys that only played one or two games,
including Jimmy Garoppolo and guys like that. But you had
a crumbled offensive line, you had a bad receiving corps,
and you're missing McCaffrey. You missed a bunch of your defenders.
Now you bring in Robert solid defense will be better.
Maybe these guys have a better year of health. And
(14:06):
brock perty still completed sixty six percent of his pass
attempts to guys that were coming off of you know,
being shot or were were youngsters like Jennings. I think
there's still an upside for him. You know, his short run.
Does he get sixty million dollars? No, but if that's
(14:27):
the market, that's the market, or fifty million or whatever
that number is.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's Sam Donald's the necessarily the right comp either, because
he had a loaded team around him.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Are you gonna penalize him?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
No? But that's what I'm saying. Okay, he's good when
he's got when he's got loaded people around him, and
that's the that's the year that that Sam Darnald had,
So okay, that's what I so, all right, then you're
good when you have You're really good when you have
really good people around you. That's that's kind of the
buddy he had the other six.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Years before that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Brock Perty's at three years with a great season and
last year was still pretty good. I mean, if we're
gonna tell me how great Matt Stafford is with twenty
and twelve, why are we gonna tell you tell you
brock Perty sucks?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Matt's talk about that?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
How about staff buddy? How about that?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Take that? Okay, well, what the hell are you talking
about man, Okay, where were the forty nine ers this year?
Where did Matt Stafford have the rams within one play
of beating the Eagles? Right, that's the argument.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You want to go with, really how Brady was with
his twenty and twelve.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But that's the aream we want to go with, right,
we're talking about what that's what I want to go
with is that when everybody was there, brock Party couldn't
get the forty nine ers near the playoffs and Matt Stafford,
with a good last half of the year, had that
within a play of beating the Eagles who won the
Super Bowl in the playoffs. Yeah, I think you want
a different, different comparison there. Exit out about a Fresca
(15:45):
exit swollen dough. We'll continue this debate though, because the
Brocolypse is it's absolutely worthwhile. Exit. How about a Fresca
exit swollen dome. The Jason Smith Show is my best

Danny Hurley doll that he is sticking with pins for
Yukon right now, trying to hold on a one point
lead over Oklahoma with under ten minutes left to go
in the second half.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'm just trying to get some drama pumped into this
because there hasn't been much. We had moblins, we had
a water bottle, you got the student manager from McNee State. Yeah,
you got a couple of coaches leaving for their jobs
and trying to kill their athletic directors in the process,
and everybody doing their finger wagon. But beyond that, there's
(17:35):
not really been a lot of drama. So this would
actually give us some juice.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I miss moblens. I was hoping we'd have more mobile,
more moblans. Yes, but there is drama, Like the biggest thing.
We got drama right now. Halftime two fifteen Michigan State
and Bryant, And I'm a little nervous. I got Michigan
State in my final four. They lead Bryant thirty three
to twenty eight, Like this is.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, I mean the friend was not good the first half.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
This is not good. This is NNG for tom Izzo,
man not good.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Well, what was interesting to watch as this game developed
was just it was like they put a lid on
the basket for one but just the number of extra
shot attempts going up for Bryant in that first half.
So for tom Izzo's squad, look, he had a couple
of calls going against him where I thought he was
going to go punch the official. Fortunately he did not.
(18:29):
They had a big block at the rim, and I
don't think I've seen Izzo sprint like that in twenty
years to get in the officials ear But shooting thirty
four percent from the field in the first half, yet
we've got ourselves a three point game as things get
underway in the second.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And a great stat that was just thrown up by
TNT Oklahoma leads Yukon forty six. It is the first
second half deficit for Yukon in their last eleven NCAA
tournament games, which tells you again people forget how dominant
Yukon was on their way to winning back to back championships.
(19:10):
They had. They didn't trail in the second winning two championships,
they didn't trail in the second half of their games.
I mean, that's incredible. And here's the first time right
now they trailed by point. Now they just hit a shot,
so now they're up back up by one. There's a
timeout on the floor. But that's the first time they've
trailed the second half their last eleven NCAA tournament games.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
We'll have to see how Hurley and company I deal
with adversity historically and in recent history that has not
gone well for Danny Hurley.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Now you mentioned amer Kan, it's time to talk about this. Yeah,
it's okay, it's time to talking about this kid. Not
not the GM of the of the Steelers, not the
owner of the of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is the
He has been the stars so far. Actually, he and
Cooper flag Key and Cooper fleg have been the stars
of the NCAA tournament so far. And he is mcneice's
(20:02):
equipment manager. And going into yesterday you probably saw his
name for the first time because he's the first ever
equipment manager to sign multiple nil deals. What does this
guy do that that's that's so great? Well, look, he's
a student manager and which I look, I actually have
student manager college stories coming up in a couple minutes.
(20:23):
But he's a student manager and he hit it big
about a month or two ago because he brings out
a boombox, uh playing songs for McNeice when they warm up,
and it just so happened that moment went viral and
it took off for him from there. And you see
him he's always rebounding and helping the guys, getting them
in a positive frame of mind on the court. And
it's awesome. The players say great things about him, and
(20:44):
he takes his job seriously, but he helps helps get
him in a great frame of mind. And look, I
mean he brings out a boombox and he's got three
nil deals included with Buffalo Wallwall he just.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Signed a deal with They made a training guard of
him today.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, yeah, this is I look at this and I go,
this is America, man.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
This is greatness, and the uh, what the hell are
we doing about America?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Here? Here's I think about amir con.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Socks of this guy for crying out loud.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The cheerleaders are wearing socks with his picture on him
like that, cheerleaders are wearing socks. I mean, I don't
get it. I'm happy for him, of course, but I
really I don't get this. And I know this is
a time where where celebrity in this country is unpredictable.
Like who would have thought, like, wait, hawk Tua has
her own crypto for like fifteen minute.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Wait disappeared. I don't want to go that was. But
what I'm saying is you no.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But no, but what I'm saying is a moment, a
moment like that where you would think, Okay, yes, it's
on Twitter for fifteen minutes and it's fame. No no, no,
Like this was a fifteen minutes of fame thing. Obviously
something completely different. This is him, you know, do working
hard at at what he does as a student manager
for McNeice. But it's like one moment like Okay, Greg,
he brought out a boombox. Nope, suddenly he's the guy.
(22:00):
He's the he's the student manager of all student managers.
And you it makes you just go, I don't understand.
It's the greatness of America, but it's also boy. You
like to think that I can go somewhere and I
can work hard and I do this, and I do.
I know it doesn't work hard, but it's like the
guy brought out a radio and now he's got nil
deals in a trading card.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Like I give my daughter's ideas every day and they
look at me. He's going, shut up, old man, we're
not doing this. We're taking this path and this is
where we're going about. I don't know, you're both smart
and funny. There's money to be had out there if
you're willing to act the fool just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I'll tell you, the world of a student manager has
come a long way in the last few years.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Man, if I was eighteen again, think about all the
opportunities that are out there.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
You mean it's a student manager just in general.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Okay, the amount between social media quote influencers.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I mean, the money's there man.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh yeah, no, I think about something like this. You
talk about opportunities that are there right in college. Just
think about this for a second. Like when I was
in college, like the biggest thing I could do, and
it was a big deal. Like I did the morning
show at the radio Jason Mason Z eighty nine Jason
Mason Music mixes the Difference on Z eighty nine, right,
And that's what I did. And you could work at
the radio station, the top forty radio station, or you
(23:13):
go to the talk station and you did sports, right,
that's where the two that's where you went, right, That's
that's all you can do. And then trying to get
a job outside of college, like the guy that ran
w a e R, which is the big sports station
in Syracuse, right, the guy that ran it, right, he's everything.
When he graduated college he was. He took him a
(23:34):
while to get a gig, like at a an FM
combo station in Norwich, New York. Right, Like that was
his gig after cut, and it's like and this was
a really smart dude and he knew everything, and he
was one of those guys you see is you know, boy,
he's going places. He's a really smart guy, and you
see the opportunities, Like that was his opportunity, right. It
took me. I couldn't get out after hosting the morning
show at Z eighty nine, oh by the way, highest
(23:55):
ratings than the station ever had still to this day,
when I was a morning show host, by the way,
I couldn't get no, no, no, I'd absolutely document it.
I couldn't get I couldn't get a part time gig
at a country music radio station like I couldn't get
I couldn't get a gig somewhere in western New York
when I was trying to get a gig outside where
(24:16):
I had a headhunter. Look, that was paying like one
hundred dollars a week to look for jobs for me. Back,
this is back what you didn't set having an agent
in the nineties. And he was like, yeah, if you
could leave tomorrow. I may have you a gig you
could start Monday. I'm like, yeah, let me know. They
went with somebody else. It was a part time gig
at a country music station doing middays. I couldn't get that. Now.
Now kids are coming out of college, what's your resume. Well,
(24:37):
let's say I did the Lacrosse National Championships for ESPNU,
I did the Women's Final four sideline reporter for ESPN two.
Like all, it's like, oh my goodness, And I'm not
upset about it. You know, this is not but this
is just you talk about the opportunities that are up
there for people now, that just I mean, it didn't
even I couldn't even have thought about something like that,
(24:57):
that that would be out there when I was going cod.
This is just in the nineties, right, This is not
like forever and a day ago. Oh yeah, okay, it's
thirty years ago, but like this, this is still it
still seems like it's somewhat of the modern era. And
the best I could hope for was maybe I get
a gig in Springfield, Connecticut, right, Like, maybe I get
a gig, Maybe get a gig in Valdosta Georgia, and
I work my way all the way up and I
go from Valdosta, Georgia to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and
(25:20):
then I go to Hartford and then I go I
mean that that was the thing instead of oh yeah, yeah,
this kid in college is doing games for ESPN and
they hire him right out of college. Oh he did
a great job for US an Espno. Here here you go,
twenty three years old, you're calling national games. I'm like, wow,
that was just not out there when I was there.
And it's it's there for everybody. The land of opportunity, man,
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I remember that attempt to try to get into radio
all those years ago, same kind of things. You had
a couple of great calls, and then are you willing
to take this or maybe even pay to be on air?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Not? No, I'm good. Would you pay to be on air?
Or the old doing the on air gig and doing sales?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Like yeah, doing sale?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Or you were going to be driving the promo bus
around and then show up at all the car dealerships
and you're driving the butser am, I getting no, you
got to just show up and you're the guy doing
the hype. I was like, okay, am I getting paid
for those? No, that's that's an extra part of the gig. Yes, So,
(26:20):
but I tried the country music route, and now I
may try it again before I'm done, you know, with
this on the CV and and all the pop culture
we talk. I mean that could work, I think, But
no being a YouTube or TikTok star and then parlaying
it or or you know, some of the fast track
ways folks can get find their their way on air anymore,
(26:42):
even in our current business.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Really kind of got a curiosity.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Now. The whole thing is because I could actually take
you inside what it is to be a student at Oh,
let's go. My best friend in college, right, we were
best friends all three years in college. He was the
student manager for the football team. It's here. He was
one of the man at like they had like five
or six student managers, and he was one of them
because he did it in high school and it was
you know, it was part of his deal when he
came to He went to Hartford for a year and
(27:09):
then he came to Syracuse. He was a student manager
at Hartford, transferred to Syracuse student manager for the football team,
which meant he would travel to some of the games,
always worked all the home games and did all the stuff.
Like I was excited when he would come home with
a hat, like he would come back you go, hey,
I got a hat for it. Oh really, yeah, yeah,
I got a hat. It was like some dusty hat
that someone had left behind in a closet somewhere. I
(27:30):
got a hat for it. Like, oh wow, that's awesome.
Like there was there was. There was no such stuff
of like, oh, hey, here's a whole bunch, look look
at this. Here's a brand new Derek Coleman forty four Syracuse, Jersey,
or here's It was just like, oh, here's a dusty hat.
Oh oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Like that's what they got, Like I think he got
(27:50):
you got you got fed, and they took you to games.
But it took up a lot of time and and
it was and it wasn't like it It doesn't nearly
like it is now where hey, here's video of you,
you're on TV anything else. Sometimes there would be because
he was in his last year, he held the wires
for the head coach, Paul Pascaloni, like that was his
job with so when he walked up and down the sideline,
(28:13):
he would hold the wires for him like that was
a job. That is a job. Game day. Hey, look
there he is there, Scott, Hey, look there is there.
He goes but like this like you i'd expect now,
like student man with all here, here's all these T
shirts I got. Here's our here's our NCAA tournament t
shirts they had. He was like twelve, they had twelve
extra ones. Here's us, here's us Like he would he
would come back like with a hat or like a
pair of shorts, like once like once every six months.
(28:36):
And I was like, oh man, this is awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
What'd you get a second taco a?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Maybe maybe someone didn't like the part of their meal,
but yeah, nowadays you get extra sets of gear and
everything else.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah, and nil deals.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Evidently the best thing he ever gave, the best thing
he gave. He gave me a pair of shorts. Right.
It was Syracuse basketball all shorts that I don't know
where he got him. Uh. He used to like to
say this, Oh this fell into my bag, right, That was.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
What you're saying, is like the mailbox ended up in yours.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
He would say, he said, oh, this fell into my
bag today and he gave me a paracharts. He goes down,
Here's the thing. I don't know if they're men's are women's.
I go, what do you mean? He goes, well, because
they were, you know, they were here. They were in
a closet, but it was near where you know, some
men's stuff were and some women's stuff where we were
cleaning it out getting so so I don't know. I'm like, well,
I can't tell him, Like, well, I can't really ask
me this men's are women's shorts.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And he said, don't wear them anywhere near campus, you know,
he said.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Wearing me just sai if you don't. But where you
got him, you just say you found him. I said, yeah, sure,
no problem. Uh So I say, no problem. So I
wore him, and I was so excited the first day
to wear I'm like, please, nobody, come and tell me
I'm wearing, you know, like Michael Scott when he's wearing
the pants some women's pants. Those are women's pants, Michael.
And I'm like, okay, please don't, please, don't tell me.
And the first day I wore him, we went to
the dining hall and I sat down, I don't know
(29:56):
what happened. I sat down, and when I got up,
U my friend said, oh, dude, what happened. What You
ripped your shorts right down the middle? Yeah, very funny, No, dude,
look what And sure enough I hewed three four inch
rip right down the middle of the back of the shorts.
And I was like, how did I do that? And
I look and I must have snagged it on something.
I'm like, they're ruined because I'm not gonna sew them right,
(30:17):
I'm not gonna sew them. I'm twenty one years I
don't know how to sew. I'm not gonna do it.
I didn't learn how to sew it until I was
like thirty. So I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing.
So I wore those shorts. I was so worried about them,
and I wore them and then I ruined them by
sitting there, and then I couldn't wear them anymore and
I threw them away.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Now we need to sing the SpongeBob when I ripped
my pants song.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
This See this is when your mom's philosophy. If I
don't want to wear that shirt it's too good, I
want to save it for something good. You don't want
to wear it all the time, because if you wear
something you really like too much, something could happen to it.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Save it for good, Save it for good, Save it
for good. Uh. Time now to find out what's trending

of joking. So Jason is bringing it to television. Yeah,
I could be on board with this. Why not Okay
the Great Mouse?
Speaker 5 (36:48):

so maybe the copyright issues.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (36:56):

(00:51):
last four games of Day two of the NCAA Tournament.
Well underway halftime. Illinois lead Xavier by five forty to
thirty five. Michigan State Bryant is hanging tough. Kobe's got
twenty six all by himself in the first half. The
Spartans lead it by five, though thirty one to twenty six.
Late in the first half, Oregon Cruising agains Liberty twenty
(01:14):
nine to fourteen, and the marquee game of the moment
right now, Yukon in a game where, hey, this is
the first time in three years we could see Yukon
lose a game in the tournament. They lead it though
over Oklahoma thirty seven to thirty two. Still a long
way to go here, forty sevenutes to go in a row,
Still fifteen minutes left to go in the second half.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A lot of anger, a lot of sloppy play in
these late games, except for Oregon Ducks taking care of business.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Now, before we get to the big NFL story, because
it looks like the brocalypses here. You heard Steve Disager
mention it a couple of seconds ago. We talked about
it a lot last hour and really gave you a
big thing on George Foreman in the life and career
he had. Foreman heavyweight Champion, passed away at the age
of seventy six, and you know, we kind of had
fun little joke, like, you know, a lot of people
only know him as the grill guy, Like people that
(02:05):
only know John Madden as the guy the video game, right,
I don't know. He was a coach in the NFL.
Really he once really he was okay, right, but looking
this up and then a big shout out to Kirk Kretschmar,
who is our affiliate director, said, hey, look up the
money Foreman made in boxing compared to what he made
as a grill entrepreneur. And yes, in the seventies when
(02:28):
you were boxed, this is the heyday of George Forming.
You're not making nearly as much money in boxing as
you were now or the later pay per view events
going on. But according to what I've been able to find,
like Foreman made about seventy five million dollars from boxing
in his career. Okay, now, that's pretty good, right for
a guy that fought in the seventies and eight you know,
(02:48):
and then retired and then came back in the nineties. Like,
that's still pretty good for boxing when you know you're
not you're not fighting that much, you took all that
time off, that's still pretty good. But then he goes
and becomes the real entrepreneur, and after being famous for
this in the nineties, he sells his business and in
(03:08):
the end he made two hundred million dollars just off
of his grill company, just off of the George Foreman,
grill like, that's what he made. He sold the business
for one hundred and thirty eight million dollars. At the
height he was, he was clearing four and a half
million dollars a month just on grill sales because he
had a great deal. He was getting like forty percent
(03:30):
of all the ground. Everything he sold was like, oh
my goodness. So even he fought, and he made seventy
five million dollars in his entire boxing career. Then he
goes afterward, Yeah, I'm going to start a grill company
and boom, there you go, two hundred million dollars. He
was worth about three hundred million, little over three hundred
million dollars at the time of his death earlier today.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, company creates the venue and then starts going around
looking for pitchmen. And it's been widely reported that they
wanted Hogan because he would have been at the height
of his popularity.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Uh, and he wanted more.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So George Foreman, your next man up, let's go, let's
make it work. And those numbers are served. Look at
the the boxing number, try and try to corroborate it.
Seventy five million for a guy that fought in the
seventies seems high.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
So I'm trying to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And I guess at the height of the pay per
view all you needed was two or three really big
pay paydays to get you to that number, right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But it's also about all the money he made. This
is not just in the in the fights that he fought.
This is hey, appearances he made as a boxer, like
being able to do whatever, you know, appearances he made,
whatever money he made as a pitch man, whatever, endorsements like,
that's all because he was That was all part of
his boxing career at that point.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, that's the question of how do we parse that out,
because you know, part of me is like as a pugilist,
what were his painting Look at you, it's eighty one
talking about times in the seventy six wins for his
seventy six years on this earth.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
That's pretty damn good.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, not to mention the three hundred million dollars
in a sense for all the Georges and everybody else
that he left behind in a legacy larger than life,
and look spawned that whole industry. We talked about it
a little bit last hour. When you talk about you know,
late night infomercials and everything else. The George Foreman grill
(05:21):
became the standard, right because of his boxing history. He
wasn't just relegated to late night TV. He was showing
up on all the morning shows, hanging out and having
a burger with Regis and Kathy Lee and all of
those kind of appearances to where you had just references
and spawning an entire industry. Hell, he's probably should have
been getting money off of everything going on with Shark
(05:43):
Tank all these years, based on the success of the
Fuhm and Grill.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And he was fun. He was a fun guy. He
was a fun guy away from the ring. Not many
boxers are like that, right, Like boxer boxers are serious dudes.
Right when you you got to be serious for that long,
it's it's hard to really be a fun guy. He
showed up and did all his all his endorsements, all
his appearances. He was fun. He left, he was he
liked to have a good time like he was. He
(06:08):
was so personable. And now you know that's half the
battle too. Hey, I like George Forman, and not only that,
he's kind of fun and yeah, give me more, let
me have more at George Ford, give me more at
George Foreman. Like that's that's like that, that's you know,
part of your you know, part of your whole aura
and and who you are. And like I said, you
don't see many boxes you walk around and go, hey,
what a great dude. That is really easy going. He's
(06:29):
just like to hang out and have fun and laugh
and be a practical jokers. That's That's not a lot
of dudes, but that was George Foreman.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He's in your circle and he's a good time and
then when things go south, he's he's got your back.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
With that that reach that I talked about last night.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
An yeah, there was the the ninety eight inch Reach
seventy eight or reach right, so one of those of
the old Michael Jordan poster, the wingspan poster.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I mean, think about that for for George Foreman.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's how you win go seventy six and five with
sixty eight career knockouts.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But I mean just a legend.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And again we we think about the pitch Man, and
that's how a lot of folks. You go to any

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Oh Man, George Foreman, George Foreman, that brought us the
you know, shack saying okay, next.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Up, sure sure, exit out about a Fresco exit swalling dome.
Jason Smith, Mike carmon the tirach dot Com studios. I'll
have more on George for because we've got to get
into when we were Kings coming up in a bit
as well. But as I mentioned, we talked about this
for the last couple of years, and now it looks
like the Brocolypse is here. According to NFL Network, who
(08:16):
Boy NFL Network in the news a lot Today or
in the rumored dues a lot Today, Brock Party lining
up to live in the neighborhood of a fifty five
to sixty million dollars a year deal with the forty
nine Ers. Now, first, I want to go way back
to last year when I said the Broclips is cut.
This is your last chance in the off season. And
(08:37):
I don't know how many forty nine Ers fans. No,
we just franchised and we don't need to extend them. Yeah,
you don't do that to your quarterback. If you want
to keep them, you're gonna have to sign him in
the off season. Tadah, here's where we are, and already
we're seeing numbers thrown around fifty five sixty million dollars,
whether this is from Brock Perty's camp, whether this is
what it's going to take to sign him. But now
the Brocalypse is here. Fifty five to sixty million for
(08:59):
Brock Party. And I'll be the first guy to tell
you I don't pay him that I don't. It's difficult
because the forty nine ers are sort of stuck because, yeah,
they've been living the last few years with Perty on
his rookie deal. It's a bad rookie deal being mister Irrelevant.
But they were able to go in. They went all
in for the Super Bowl and what happened didn't happen.
(09:19):
So they had the jettison a lot of contracts. And
now what are you gonna do when you're paying brock Purty. Right,
you already say goodbye to Deebo, Samuel Brandon Ayuka is
injured last year and other players you had to let go.
The forty nine ers era is over, and now you
got to pay your quarterback. Brock Purty is a good quarterback, right,
He's good? But is he a Is he a sixty
(09:40):
million dollar a year quarter of No? Dak Prescott's not.
And that's what he got brock Purty. I can't pay
him sixty million dollars a year. You know what kind
of deal he deserves it. I'm being this and I
say deserve, I mean this is what he's earned. Brock Purty,
on his best day over the course of the last
three years, did not put up a season like Sam
Darnold put up this year. The Vikings, he just didn't.
(10:01):
He just didn't this year twenty touchdowns. It was a
very pedestrian like season. And I think what you saw
from brock Purty is that when he doesn't have all
kinds of all pro weapons at his disposal, Christian McCaffrey
in his prime, Deebo Samuel in his prime before he's
fallen off, Brandon Ayuk in his prime, George Kittle in
his prime, Trent Williams the best left tackle in the
(10:22):
game when he's got all those guys around him. Yeah,
he's okay, right, Hey, wow, look at Brock party.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
If Brock Purdy had shown up on a different team,
I Brock Purty had shown up on the Jets, Is
he really this guy? Of course not. Brock Purdy is
a guy that plays well because you had all kinds
of great talent around him. Now, last year, what happened
when Christian McCaffrey was hurt and Brandon Ayuk was hurt
and Deebo Samuel is not the same all of a sudden,
his production got to be league average and a little
(10:51):
bit less. But he works in that system, right, So
I'm gonna be fair here. He works in that system
with San Francisco, and there's something to be said for that,
because without a quarterback is miserable. So I would do this.
I would say, Okay, Brock, here's what we're gonna do
for you, because it's very similar, and you know, for
three years. Now. Perty did get to a Super Bowl
on a load, absolutely loaded team. But if I want
(11:13):
to compare him to Sam Darnold, that's what I would
do for Brock. Party. Here we go three years and
one hundred and ten million, and I'll guarantee it all
for you. We'll go three and one ten and I'll
guarantee every say no money, do here about three and
one ten and that's what you get because party is
Perty is good. He works with this. But sixty million dot,
come on, man, bro show me something. Brock Purty's really
(11:34):
really done where you can say, wow, this guy needs
sixty million dollars in lead for three years? Okay, Yeah,
he had one really good year. He threw thirty one touchdowns,
again loaded when the team was absolutely loaded. Not loaded.
This year, not nearly the same guy. And the thing
about him is he's shown you this year he's not
one of those top elite top six quarterbacks in the NFL.
(11:57):
The list we've given you of the guys that are
so good, that are the best of the best, because
not only are they great, but they make everybody around
them better. It doesn't matter the weapons they have, they
make them all better. Brock Purty doesn't do that, right,
but he's again, I want to be fair, and it's
not like I'm saying the guy stinks. But if Sam
Donald coming off a forty four thousand yard, thirty five
(12:18):
touchdown year and the Vikings go fourteen and three, if
he gets three and one ten, okay, that's kind of
the nut. That's where I would go for brock Purty.
I see you have all of it, but three and
one ten, And I'm not gonna go further that because
what if brock Purty falls off a cliff? What if
you see that? Boy? Really we're struggling because well, you know,
McCaffrey has hurt again, and now Brandon Ayuku is not
to whatever you want to say. Everything else is happening
(12:40):
and he's not the same guy. Well, okay, well, at
least we only have two more years on this deal
before you get out of it. But three years and
one ten, that's what I would do for brock Purty.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Well, I mean, you look at your guy, Sam Donald.
You had six years of whatever you thought of Sam Donald, right,
A couple of years played extensive football on decide you
know what the coefficient is ahead of being the Jets
quarterback and how that affects your algorithm as you decide
what to pay a guy and how much that time
(13:09):
detracts from him or he should get bonus points for
surviving it. All of that to say, brock Perdy had
the twenty twenty three season, he was still a top
ten in terms of quarterback raiding guy.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You know, it's a look.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
If we're gonna use that, sometimes that becomes the be
all to end all for folks. Right of what was
his quarterback rating, I'm kind of there's noise to it
because then you go to the QBR, the one that
they made up over at the four letter, so you
can go to that, but still top ten if you
(13:43):
exclude the guys that only played one or two games,
including Jimmy Garoppolo and guys like that. But you had
a crumbled offensive line, you had a bad receiving corps,
and you're missing McCaffrey. You missed a bunch of your defenders.
Now you bring in Robert solid defense will be better.
Maybe these guys have a better year of health. And
(14:06):
brock perty still completed sixty six percent of his pass
attempts to guys that were coming off of you know,
being shot or were were youngsters like Jennings. I think
there's still an upside for him. You know, his short run.
Does he get sixty million dollars? No, but if that's
(14:27):
the market, that's the market, or fifty million or whatever
that number is.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's Sam Donald's the necessarily the right comp either, because
he had a loaded team around him.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Are you gonna penalize him?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
No? But that's what I'm saying. Okay, he's good when
he's got when he's got loaded people around him, and
that's the that's the year that that Sam Darnald had,
So okay, that's what I so, all right, then you're
good when you have You're really good when you have
really good people around you. That's that's kind of the
buddy he had the other six.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Years before that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Brock Perty's at three years with a great season and
last year was still pretty good. I mean, if we're
gonna tell me how great Matt Stafford is with twenty
and twelve, why are we gonna tell you tell you
brock Perty sucks?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Matt's talk about that?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
How about staff buddy? How about that?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Take that? Okay, well, what the hell are you talking
about man, Okay, where were the forty nine ers this year?
Where did Matt Stafford have the rams within one play
of beating the Eagles? Right, that's the argument.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You want to go with, really how Brady was with
his twenty and twelve.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But that's the aream we want to go with, right,
we're talking about what that's what I want to go
with is that when everybody was there, brock Party couldn't
get the forty nine ers near the playoffs and Matt Stafford,
with a good last half of the year, had that
within a play of beating the Eagles who won the
Super Bowl in the playoffs. Yeah, I think you want
a different, different comparison there. Exit out about a Fresca
(15:45):
exit swollen dough. We'll continue this debate though, because the
Brocolypse is it's absolutely worthwhile. Exit. How about a Fresca
exit swollen dome. The Jason Smith Show is my best

Danny Hurley doll that he is sticking with pins for
Yukon right now, trying to hold on a one point
lead over Oklahoma with under ten minutes left to go
in the second half.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'm just trying to get some drama pumped into this
because there hasn't been much. We had moblins, we had
a water bottle, you got the student manager from McNee State. Yeah,
you got a couple of coaches leaving for their jobs
and trying to kill their athletic directors in the process,
and everybody doing their finger wagon. But beyond that, there's
(17:35):
not really been a lot of drama. So this would
actually give us some juice.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I miss moblens. I was hoping we'd have more mobile,
more moblans. Yes, but there is drama, Like the biggest thing.
We got drama right now. Halftime two fifteen Michigan State
and Bryant, And I'm a little nervous. I got Michigan
State in my final four. They lead Bryant thirty three
to twenty eight, Like this is.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, I mean the friend was not good the first half.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
This is not good. This is NNG for tom Izzo,
man not good.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Well, what was interesting to watch as this game developed
was just it was like they put a lid on
the basket for one but just the number of extra
shot attempts going up for Bryant in that first half.
So for tom Izzo's squad, look, he had a couple
of calls going against him where I thought he was
going to go punch the official. Fortunately he did not.
(18:29):
They had a big block at the rim, and I
don't think I've seen Izzo sprint like that in twenty
years to get in the officials ear But shooting thirty
four percent from the field in the first half, yet
we've got ourselves a three point game as things get
underway in the second.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And a great stat that was just thrown up by
TNT Oklahoma leads Yukon forty six. It is the first
second half deficit for Yukon in their last eleven NCAA
tournament games, which tells you again people forget how dominant
Yukon was on their way to winning back to back championships.
(19:10):
They had. They didn't trail in the second winning two championships,
they didn't trail in the second half of their games.
I mean, that's incredible. And here's the first time right
now they trailed by point. Now they just hit a shot,
so now they're up back up by one. There's a
timeout on the floor. But that's the first time they've
trailed the second half their last eleven NCAA tournament games.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
We'll have to see how Hurley and company I deal
with adversity historically and in recent history that has not
gone well for Danny Hurley.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Now you mentioned amer Kan, it's time to talk about this. Yeah,
it's okay, it's time to talking about this kid. Not
not the GM of the of the Steelers, not the
owner of the of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is the
He has been the stars so far. Actually, he and
Cooper flag Key and Cooper fleg have been the stars
of the NCAA tournament so far. And he is mcneice's
(20:02):
equipment manager. And going into yesterday you probably saw his
name for the first time because he's the first ever
equipment manager to sign multiple nil deals. What does this
guy do that that's that's so great? Well, look, he's
a student manager and which I look, I actually have
student manager college stories coming up in a couple minutes.
(20:23):
But he's a student manager and he hit it big
about a month or two ago because he brings out
a boombox, uh playing songs for McNeice when they warm up,
and it just so happened that moment went viral and
it took off for him from there. And you see
him he's always rebounding and helping the guys, getting them
in a positive frame of mind on the court. And
it's awesome. The players say great things about him, and
(20:44):
he takes his job seriously, but he helps helps get
him in a great frame of mind. And look, I
mean he brings out a boombox and he's got three
nil deals included with Buffalo Wallwall he just.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Signed a deal with They made a training guard of
him today.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, yeah, this is I look at this and I go,
this is America, man.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
This is greatness, and the uh, what the hell are
we doing about America?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Here? Here's I think about amir con.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Socks of this guy for crying out loud.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The cheerleaders are wearing socks with his picture on him
like that, cheerleaders are wearing socks. I mean, I don't
get it. I'm happy for him, of course, but I
really I don't get this. And I know this is
a time where where celebrity in this country is unpredictable.
Like who would have thought, like, wait, hawk Tua has
her own crypto for like fifteen minute.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Wait disappeared. I don't want to go that was. But
what I'm saying is you no.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But no, but what I'm saying is a moment, a
moment like that where you would think, Okay, yes, it's
on Twitter for fifteen minutes and it's fame. No no, no,
Like this was a fifteen minutes of fame thing. Obviously
something completely different. This is him, you know, do working
hard at at what he does as a student manager
for McNeice. But it's like one moment like Okay, Greg,
he brought out a boombox. Nope, suddenly he's the guy.
(22:00):
He's the he's the student manager of all student managers.
And you it makes you just go, I don't understand.
It's the greatness of America, but it's also boy. You
like to think that I can go somewhere and I
can work hard and I do this, and I do.
I know it doesn't work hard, but it's like the
guy brought out a radio and now he's got nil
deals in a trading card.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Like I give my daughter's ideas every day and they
look at me. He's going, shut up, old man, we're
not doing this. We're taking this path and this is
where we're going about. I don't know, you're both smart
and funny. There's money to be had out there if
you're willing to act the fool just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I'll tell you, the world of a student manager has
come a long way in the last few years.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Man, if I was eighteen again, think about all the
opportunities that are out there.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
You mean it's a student manager just in general.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Okay, the amount between social media quote influencers.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I mean, the money's there man.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh yeah, no, I think about something like this. You
talk about opportunities that are there right in college. Just
think about this for a second. Like when I was
in college, like the biggest thing I could do, and
it was a big deal. Like I did the morning
show at the radio Jason Mason Z eighty nine Jason
Mason Music mixes the Difference on Z eighty nine, right,
And that's what I did. And you could work at
the radio station, the top forty radio station, or you
(23:13):
go to the talk station and you did sports, right,
that's where the two that's where you went, right, That's
that's all you can do. And then trying to get
a job outside of college, like the guy that ran
w a e R, which is the big sports station
in Syracuse, right, the guy that ran it, right, he's everything.
When he graduated college he was. He took him a
(23:34):
while to get a gig, like at a an FM
combo station in Norwich, New York. Right, Like that was
his gig after cut, and it's like and this was
a really smart dude and he knew everything, and he
was one of those guys you see is you know, boy,
he's going places. He's a really smart guy, and you
see the opportunities, Like that was his opportunity, right. It
took me. I couldn't get out after hosting the morning
show at Z eighty nine, oh by the way, highest
(23:55):
ratings than the station ever had still to this day,
when I was a morning show host, by the way,
I couldn't get no, no, no, I'd absolutely document it.
I couldn't get I couldn't get a part time gig
at a country music radio station like I couldn't get
I couldn't get a gig somewhere in western New York
when I was trying to get a gig outside where
(24:16):
I had a headhunter. Look, that was paying like one
hundred dollars a week to look for jobs for me. Back,
this is back what you didn't set having an agent
in the nineties. And he was like, yeah, if you
could leave tomorrow. I may have you a gig you
could start Monday. I'm like, yeah, let me know. They
went with somebody else. It was a part time gig
at a country music station doing middays. I couldn't get that. Now.
Now kids are coming out of college, what's your resume. Well,
(24:37):
let's say I did the Lacrosse National Championships for ESPNU,
I did the Women's Final four sideline reporter for ESPN two.
Like all, it's like, oh my goodness, And I'm not
upset about it. You know, this is not but this
is just you talk about the opportunities that are up
there for people now, that just I mean, it didn't
even I couldn't even have thought about something like that,
(24:57):
that that would be out there when I was going cod.
This is just in the nineties, right, This is not
like forever and a day ago. Oh yeah, okay, it's
thirty years ago, but like this, this is still it
still seems like it's somewhat of the modern era. And
the best I could hope for was maybe I get
a gig in Springfield, Connecticut, right, Like, maybe I get
a gig, Maybe get a gig in Valdosta Georgia, and
I work my way all the way up and I
go from Valdosta, Georgia to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and
(25:20):
then I go to Hartford and then I go I
mean that that was the thing instead of oh yeah, yeah,
this kid in college is doing games for ESPN and
they hire him right out of college. Oh he did
a great job for US an Espno. Here here you go,
twenty three years old, you're calling national games. I'm like, wow,
that was just not out there when I was there.
And it's it's there for everybody. The land of opportunity, man,
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I remember that attempt to try to get into radio
all those years ago, same kind of things. You had
a couple of great calls, and then are you willing
to take this or maybe even pay to be on air?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Not? No, I'm good. Would you pay to be on air?
Or the old doing the on air gig and doing sales?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Like yeah, doing sale?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Or you were going to be driving the promo bus
around and then show up at all the car dealerships
and you're driving the butser am, I getting no, you
got to just show up and you're the guy doing
the hype. I was like, okay, am I getting paid
for those? No, that's that's an extra part of the gig. Yes, So,
(26:20):
but I tried the country music route, and now I
may try it again before I'm done, you know, with
this on the CV and and all the pop culture
we talk. I mean that could work, I think, But
no being a YouTube or TikTok star and then parlaying
it or or you know, some of the fast track
ways folks can get find their their way on air anymore,
(26:42):
even in our current business.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Really kind of got a curiosity.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Now. The whole thing is because I could actually take
you inside what it is to be a student at Oh,
let's go. My best friend in college, right, we were
best friends all three years in college. He was the
student manager for the football team. It's here. He was
one of the man at like they had like five
or six student managers, and he was one of them
because he did it in high school and it was
you know, it was part of his deal when he
came to He went to Hartford for a year and
(27:09):
then he came to Syracuse. He was a student manager
at Hartford, transferred to Syracuse student manager for the football team,
which meant he would travel to some of the games,
always worked all the home games and did all the stuff.
Like I was excited when he would come home with
a hat, like he would come back you go, hey,
I got a hat for it. Oh really, yeah, yeah,
I got a hat. It was like some dusty hat
that someone had left behind in a closet somewhere. I
(27:30):
got a hat for it. Like, oh wow, that's awesome.
Like there was there was. There was no such stuff
of like, oh, hey, here's a whole bunch, look look
at this. Here's a brand new Derek Coleman forty four Syracuse, Jersey,
or here's It was just like, oh, here's a dusty hat.
Oh oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Like that's what they got, Like I think he got
(27:50):
you got you got fed, and they took you to games.
But it took up a lot of time and and
it was and it wasn't like it It doesn't nearly
like it is now where hey, here's video of you,
you're on TV anything else. Sometimes there would be because
he was in his last year, he held the wires
for the head coach, Paul Pascaloni, like that was his
job with so when he walked up and down the sideline,
(28:13):
he would hold the wires for him like that was
a job. That is a job. Game day. Hey, look
there he is there, Scott, Hey, look there is there.
He goes but like this like you i'd expect now,
like student man with all here, here's all these T
shirts I got. Here's our here's our NCAA tournament t
shirts they had. He was like twelve, they had twelve
extra ones. Here's us, here's us Like he would he
would come back like with a hat or like a
pair of shorts, like once like once every six months.
(28:36):
And I was like, oh man, this is awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
What'd you get a second taco a?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Maybe maybe someone didn't like the part of their meal,
but yeah, nowadays you get extra sets of gear and
everything else.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah, and nil deals.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Evidently the best thing he ever gave, the best thing
he gave. He gave me a pair of shorts. Right.
It was Syracuse basketball all shorts that I don't know
where he got him. Uh. He used to like to
say this, Oh this fell into my bag, right, That was.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
What you're saying, is like the mailbox ended up in yours.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
He would say, he said, oh, this fell into my
bag today and he gave me a paracharts. He goes down,
Here's the thing. I don't know if they're men's are women's.
I go, what do you mean? He goes, well, because
they were, you know, they were here. They were in
a closet, but it was near where you know, some
men's stuff were and some women's stuff where we were
cleaning it out getting so so I don't know. I'm like, well,
I can't tell him, Like, well, I can't really ask
me this men's are women's shorts.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And he said, don't wear them anywhere near campus, you know,
he said.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Wearing me just sai if you don't. But where you
got him, you just say you found him. I said, yeah, sure,
no problem. Uh So I say, no problem. So I
wore him, and I was so excited the first day
to wear I'm like, please, nobody, come and tell me
I'm wearing, you know, like Michael Scott when he's wearing
the pants some women's pants. Those are women's pants, Michael.
And I'm like, okay, please don't, please, don't tell me.
And the first day I wore him, we went to
the dining hall and I sat down, I don't know
(29:56):
what happened. I sat down, and when I got up,
U my friend said, oh, dude, what happened. What You
ripped your shorts right down the middle? Yeah, very funny, No, dude,
look what And sure enough I hewed three four inch
rip right down the middle of the back of the shorts.
And I was like, how did I do that? And
I look and I must have snagged it on something.
I'm like, they're ruined because I'm not gonna sew them right,
(30:17):
I'm not gonna sew them. I'm twenty one years I
don't know how to sew. I'm not gonna do it.
I didn't learn how to sew it until I was
like thirty. So I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing.
So I wore those shorts. I was so worried about them,
and I wore them and then I ruined them by
sitting there, and then I couldn't wear them anymore and
I threw them away.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Now we need to sing the SpongeBob when I ripped
my pants song.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
This See this is when your mom's philosophy. If I
don't want to wear that shirt it's too good, I
want to save it for something good. You don't want
to wear it all the time, because if you wear
something you really like too much, something could happen to it.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
