It rips out, Crown crabs it seven seconds, one Westbrook
five seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
They're top about what Gordon got it? Aaron Carton with
a Dick shuck, Williams knock, No.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
God, the nugget steal Game one.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's a winner for Aaron Gordon, one.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Twenty one to one nineteen.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Well that was the call of the man who's join
us right now, Iron Eagle. What a comeback last night
for the Denver Nuggets, showing the heart of a champion
down in the second half. Iron Eagle on the call
with Grant Hill with the NBA on TNT it felt.
Now we all know Iron's, you know, broadcasting prowess. He
(00:48):
doesn't need his resume or credentials, but I'm gonna go
ahead and stole his virtues anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We know he's the voice of March Madness.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We know he does an excellent job with the NFL
on CBS, and he does the same thing with the
NBA on tnt I. And I know you probably didn't
get to watch too much of the Nick Celtics game
because you were getting ready and prepping for your game
at OKC. But last night really kind of felt like,
dare I say, made madness.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
No, I know what you're saying, Mark, I felt that
we had it on during our production meeting, you meet
with the coaches, you talk about what you're going to
do in the open. So we're watching the Knicks and
the Celtics, and when we took the court to look
at some elements and to get ready at the table,
the Celtics, and then Grant put the game on his phone.
(01:36):
So we're watching it as they're in the layup line,
as they're getting ready for the national anthem, as they
do the starting lineups, and it's all happening concurrently, so
you could feel the tension from Boston. We had no sound,
of course, and then our game starts and we turned
the game off, so we have no idea. We get
(01:58):
to the first time out and I open up my phone,
I go to the NBA app and I show Grant
the final score and we're just baffled how it happened.
So it is amazing how these games start coming at
you fast and furious, and the competitive level and obviously
the the acumen of these guys. It's something three games
(02:19):
right now that have taken place in the second round,
all three road teams have taken Game one with Golden
State Minnesota coming up tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
No question about it.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Ian last night's game though, how did and now that
you sit back and had some time to digest it,
how did Denver do it? And obviously I let's let's
just state you know what it is. I mean, not
long ago they decided to part ways with Mike Malone,
who led them to a title, and they parted ways
with Calvin Booth. They hired David Adelman, and I gotta
(02:50):
tell you, mister Kronkey right now looks like he knew
something that the rest of the world didn't because this
team is just they it literally start and you covered
it because I remember you two years ago covering the
Nuggets and seeing you down in Miami and all that.
He just starts to look like twenty twenty three all
over again. And the one guy that you had right
(03:11):
there on that call Iron he comes into the league.
He was sort of this glorified dunker on All Star weekend.
But I'll tell you, man, I don't know other than
his teammate Nikola Jokic, what player, and of course SGA
more than likely would be the MVP. What player has
improved his game more than Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, lots of unpacked there. Mark. I would start with
the adleman side of it. You know, I think what
ends up happening in sports as a fan and as
a member of the media, you might have a sense
of what's going on, but you don't really know. You're
speculating on what's happening behind the scenes. Clearly there was
(03:54):
a huge issue behind the scenes with the Denver Nuggets.
If there's a power play, if there's management versus coach,
usually one side wins. Normally someone emerges from it. In
this case, they both lost. It was Calvin Booth, it
was Michael Loan. Malone had led them to a championship.
Booth was a part of the hierarchy that helped put
(04:18):
the team together and then tried to usher in the
new era. And they get to the final stretch of
the season, there's three games left in the regular season.
They decide to part ways with both. So there's a
reason why interim coaches don't have a whole lot of
success in the NBA playoffs. You can go through the years,
it doesn't happen very often because usually that means they're
(04:38):
taking over a situation that has a great deal of
toxicity associated to it. The fact that Adelman came in
won those three games, and let's not underrate how big
those games were in terms of standing, in terms of
home court advantage, in terms of avoiding the play in.
They get the four seed that gives them home court
(04:59):
advantage in games Evan against the Clippers where they dominated LA,
and then all of those good feelings carry over into
round two. So the fact that Adelman has pushed the
right buttons, has the trust of his players, has the
built in relationship and a system for ten years, I
think it's gone a long way, and in Denver resembling
(05:20):
the group that we saw from two years ago. You
mentioned Aaron Gordon. He's been huge, He's been immense. He
has the buzzer beating dunk in game four of the
first round against LA and then gets it done again,
not a buzzer beater, but a game winner and game
one of the second round, and he really has improved.
He's improved his jump shot. You're right, he was thought
of as a high flyer and someone that would be
(05:42):
tough around the rim. But the modern NBA, if you
don't add to your game, if you don't adjust and
improve and polish your skills. You're not going to be
around for very long because somebody else is going to
come and replace you. So give credit where credit is due.
Aaron Gordon has done all the right things, and he
really has become mister Nugget in so many ways. Jokich,
(06:04):
of course, is d star. He's going to go down
as one of the greatest players of all time. But
Eric Gordon is highly popular in Denver for a reason.
I think there's been a deep connection between him and
the fan base that keeps paying off for Iron.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Eagle from the NBA on TNT does a great job
on the playoffs right now here on MJ in the
midday on Sports Radio ninety three to three KJRFM on
the Beacon Plumbing Hotline, Jokic, first set Iron, You've been
calling basketball games since you know, Michael Jordan was with
the Bulls, okay, going way back into and you know
(06:38):
when Gonzaga.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Was first becoming this right right.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
As a matter of fact, I don't even know if
you were the ones who called them upsetting. I think
it was North Carolina back in the day in ninety
nine or something like that. I mean, I just know
that you've been calling for a long time. In terms
of overall skill set, Where does Nicole Jokic rank and
iron Eagles eyes? Is he top three? Is he Numero uno?
(07:03):
Where does he rank on ein Eagles Mount rushmore of
the most talented basketball players of all that you've ever called?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, I think that's the way you have to view it.
Thirty one years doing play by play in the NBA
started in nineteen ninety four. So that's included Jordan, It's
included gob, It's included Lebron, It's included Curry and Durant.
And you're now mentioning Nikola Jokic, and he's going to
be in the pantheon. The fact that he does the
(07:33):
way he does it last night included. These are historic
performances that we now just expect from Nikola Jokic. His
numbers last night mark get forty two points, he had
twenty two rebounds, he had six assists. He's the fourth
player in playoff history to crack those numbers. And yet
(07:58):
somehow we walk away from the game and we say, oh, yeah, no,
it's just Nikola Jokis doing the Kola Jokiz things. No, no, no, no, no, no,
these are all time numbers that he puts up time
and time and time, and his shoulders so much of
the load. He is the ultimate team player. He is
the ultimate facilitator. He's someone that when you look at him,
(08:21):
you say, well, no, no, he's not he's not the guy.
You go, yeah, yeah, that's the guy right there. He's
the guy. So it's a pleasure calling his games. He
is creative, his instincts are through the roof. His feel
is extraordinary, and he deserves all the flowers. The three MVPs,
(08:41):
the championship, and then Mark, I'm sure you saw it.
If you didn't see it live, you saw it on
tape later, the demonstrative time out, how he was speaking
his mind, whom was locked in on him, Every player
was in Nobody was looking down at the ground, nobody
(09:02):
was looking out into the stands. They were all looking
at him because they respect him, His passion, his knowledge,
all of it was on display that when you mentioned
it earlier. The sequence for them to win the game
based on Oklahoma City fouling, based on miss free throws
from home grin. They get everything in their power to
(09:26):
stay in the game, and then they got the opening
to actually go and win the game, and they did.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Iron Eagle here on MJ in the midday on ninety
three to three KGRFM. And you know where you have
the greatest you know, you go from you and Grant
and then you go to the greatest studio show in
the history of sports broadcasting, EJ, Kenny, Shaq and Charles.
And you know Charles obviously and a lot of people,
my producers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
He's a young Buck guy.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
He didn't get to see Charles play basketball, so we
only know them like a lot of young kids, they
only know him at chess Chuck, right, They don't know
that this was arguably the greatest rebounder under six foot
five in the history of basketball.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And this guy was a former MVP.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And to see after the game when you sent it
to them in Atlanta and Chuck, Charles just sat there
I and he just said jokich and he.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Just shook his head like he's fageless, like.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Charles Barkley of all people, Iron Eagle was absolutely he
just doesn't know the words. And when you could render
Charles Barkley speechless, Iron, You've done something.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you, Mark, this is always interesting.
This kind of goes into broadcast process, which I don't
really get into. I think there's a there's a group
of people that are interested in it, and then there
are those that don't really care because they just want
to watch the games. But I can just tell you
from a personal stamp last night as an example, the
(10:54):
fact that that arena gets as loud as it gets.
It's one of the more boisterous crowds in the NBA.
But on the flip side, it was stone silence at
the end of the game. So as I'm making that call,
first of all, you're just trying to be accurate more
than anything else. You want to be on top of
what's happening in front of you. Make sure you have
(11:16):
to score the situation right. So as Brown gets it
ahead for Westbrook, Westbrook is hovering around the three point line,
So my first thought is do they realize that they're.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Only down one?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
And I had to double check it myself in my
own head. He crosses it over to Gordon, who's now
at the three point line, and I literally say on
the call, Denver down by one, thinking Gordon is going
to drive it to the rim. He takes the three
and that's not the game winner at the moment because
there's no time on the clock. He makes the shot,
(11:49):
So you hit a certain level with no crowd noise
around you, because they are stone cold stunned in the
moment in the arena. You've got nineteen people that can't
believe what they just witnessed. But Jaylen Williams has a chance.
There's two point eight on the clock. He goes three
quarter court and it's off the mark. And the moment
(12:10):
that it hits everybody in that crowd and the Oklahoma
City sideline that they just lost this game. I ended
up walking to the hotel afterwards. You know, you're wired
after the game, and you're just trying to, you know,
get some energy and try to kill it in some
manner so you can just fall asleep. Sure, And I
walked amongst the fans back to the hotel, and the conversations,
(12:35):
the somber tone, the absolute fact that this group of
people never saw that coming was pretty hard to fathom.
And I think that's what Charles and EJ and Kenny
and Shaq were feeling watching the game. They're getting ready
to do their postgame assuming all right, okay, see up
(12:55):
one to oh Denver played well on the quick turnaround.
No completely different story, and the narrative changed of course
in this series as well, because now they have the
upper hand with a one zero lead, and they did
it in a way that can affect the team. I'm
really curious to see how the Thunder react. My my
(13:16):
general sense would be they'll play well in Game two.
They'll get this bitter taste out of their mouth and
show everybody who they are. But that was a debilitating,
dispiriting loss in the way that it happened.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I can tell you there there was a lot of
people having only been here for three months, but there
were no tears shed or sleep lost in Seattle for
the Oklahoma City Thunder here.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Last night night.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You can understand, you get say that, but I understand
to what you said. The two teams with the best
records in the NBA ok C sixty eight wins, Cleveland
sixty four wins. How much of a disparity is. And
then I mean, even though like the Celtics weren't exactly slouches,
they're defending champions. They go for and oh, and I
mean dominate the Knicks in every single one of those
(14:06):
regular season games. But how much different is playoff basketball
from regular season.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah, there is a difference, clearly. You feel the physical
nature of it. You feel the players testing the boundaries
of what the officials will call and what they won't
call given the circumstances. And then also what translates from
the regular season to the postseason. You could be a
great shooting team, as we know, and the Celtics set
(14:36):
a record to three pointers and then not hit the
side of a barn tossing the ball. Is what happened.
They missed forty five. It would be one thing, HENJ
if I said to you in a different era. If
I just said to you in a different time and place, Hey,
there's a team out there. They're gonna take forty five three.
(14:56):
You say, whoa, whoa, whoa, they're gonna take forty YEP.
If I then amended and say no, no, no, no, no, they're
not gonna take forty five trees. They're gonna miss the
forty five threes, you'd say, well, no, that that doesn't
happen in the NBA. You don't. You never get to
that point because a coach would say, Okay, we got
to stop doing that. It's not working. But we are
(15:19):
in a different age of basketball, and it's interesting that
all three road teams found a way in Game one.
We still have one more Game one with Golden State
on the road against Minnesota. There's a chance that the
road teams could open up one to zero in the
second round. And it just shows you how tight things
(15:39):
are in the NBA, how the margins are so slim,
and in my mind, I still believe in the favorites
in all of the series, but that little seed of
doubt creeps in. There's recency bias, as we know, but
you saw a structure in which all of these teams
(16:01):
could win the series and surprise everybody in the league
based on the fact that it's not far and wide
in the disparity between the upper ruschelon and the next
year iron.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Just to compound off what you said, and yes, they
did complete an NBA playoff historic forty five mysteries. The
Knicks only shot thirty seven threes, so the Celtics missed
forty five more. The forty five threes compared to the
attempts that the Knicks took eight more than the Knicks
actually took, which is that it's a different style of
(16:38):
basketball it's the Steph Curry era and Iron we always
appreciate and always like to hear your voice. And and
Greg Calin if I remember, if I'm not mistaken, I
and you know, it's probably might be a blurder for
you now. But I remember when the Nuggets won, you
said the anatomy of a comeback, and I was like, oh,
that is so great. I was like, that is just
(16:58):
that is just so so great and always a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
It had to happen, mad exact way. There was no
other way to win other than the way that it happens.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, yeah, hey, if the second, if the semi finals
and then the conference finals are anything like Game one
was in the first three games in Cleveland and OKC
and in Boston, we are in for a treat.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Agreed, agreed, great talking.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
All right, all right, Ian Egel, thanks again. I And
there he is here on MJ in the midday. Wow,
what a what just it? If you missed it? Wow,
you missed it. And I was going back and forth
with the Mariners game. So I was doing my job.
A Mariner's game was in. I was going back and forth,
but it was you know, gave. It was tough to
turn it off. Man, it was tough to and he
(17:46):
mentioned something there and that's what you want to see
from every athlete. Was Jokic, who had won three MVP
should have been four in a row. By the way,
the media just wanted to break it up and they
gave one MBD. Yokic should win four MVPs. He won
a finals MVP, and of course a ring. I love
when I see great athletes, the ones who have garnered
the respect of their locker room to get and basically
(18:08):
put all their team down and just say this is
what is yelling and saying this is what we've got
to do, and they're all sitting there like scared puppies,
just listening and like yeah, And that's what a leader does.
You need a leader to win a title. Every team
needs that guy to be able to lead a locker
(18:28):
room or a clubhouse to get to a title. If
you don't have it, you're not gonna win it, period.
I think Oklahoma City has it. They've got SGA, so
they've got one. I think Cleveland has one. Obviously, we
know the Celtics do, and you certainly know the Knicks
do with Jalen Brunson, so you gotta have a leader.
Last night was just epic television, and I can't wait
(18:49):
for tonight and tomorrow night. And that's what you want
when you get to this time of year, you want that,
all right, I.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Have an update for you.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
A lot of people you want to know what I
did on the three hundred dollars. I've got an update
for you coming up next. You might believe it, you
might not, but I got to pay off this tease.
It's coming up next on MJ and the Midday ninety
three to three KJR FM. Remember yesterday, you want to
know what happened about a girl that I went out
(19:20):
with one time, one time and she got a dui
and she asked me for three hundred dollars. So Christopher
Kid has access to the conversation back and forth, and well, yesterday,
(19:45):
right when the show is starting, as you can see
Christopher at ten oh one, why don't you read.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Her question to me right when our show started yesterday?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Are you able to lend me three?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
What's the word before three three hundred? What's the word?
She puts that in there?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Oh? Sorry, my brain, I just ignore it.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
But go ahead and read it verbatim are you able
to lend me like three hundred dollars till next Friday?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And I probably didn't need the like in there. She
could have just put three hundred dollars next Friday. I said,
let me see what I can do. I have a
lot of bills that I have to pay for. So
after the show she responded, at go ahead.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Chris, Okay, I got five hundred so far, need four hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I will pay you back for sure. I'm a little
confused now, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
So she was able to raise five hundred and then
she needed four hundred, but for me she only needed
three hundred. I know, I'm confused too. She needed three hundred,
which I thought that was it. She said she got
five hundred, so she must have raised that, and then
she said, so.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I need four hundred.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
So initially she asked for three hundred, and then Chris,
at about twelve fifty six pm, when the show is
ending yesterday, what are those two texts?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What do they say?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
I need two seventy two? Have to have that before
two thirty pm.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So I was literally on the precipice of then moowing
her the money.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
As soon as she said that she has five hundred. Right,
I'm like, no, no, this is this is sketchy.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What are you doing? Right, So you don't need my
three hundred? Right, you got five hundred.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You're better than me, right, I don't know what, but here.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Was the part Chris that okay.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So then it was I got five hundred, so so far,
then need four hundred. I'll pay you back for sure.
Then I didn't respond because I was during the show.
And then at twelve fifty six pm when we were
going off yesterday, she put I need to seventy two.
Then she put me on the clock like a draft pick,
(21:57):
have to have that before two thirty. And I'm like, oh,
so what two thirty one? You don't need the money.
So I didn't actually even look at my text until
three o'clock because I'm not you know, I just didn't.
And at three o'clock I'm like, oh, well, it's past
two thirty. I guess you don't need the money anymore,
so you're.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Not I'm done talking to her, Right it doesn't make sense?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, it doesn't, Chris. Are you proud?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Are you proud of me? For not setting it one
thousand ver?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Thank you, Chris?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Thank you now that I see more context into this,
it doesn't it doesn't add up. If she said, hey, Mark,
I'm in a pinch, I could really use three hundred dollars.
That seems more reasonable. Not saying that you should do
that or you would have right, but then to say
I got five hundred, So then why you need you
need four hundred more?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
You need nine hundred dollars?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
The math is not mathing Now. I went to WSU.
I'll be the first to tell you I suck at math.
I took communications for a reason. Okay, there's a reasons
behind all of this.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But she needed three hundred and then she said she
ended up she got five, so she raised five hundred
some way somehow.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Can we call her and then you will be instead
of you'll be LJ. Just change your voice and we'll
be like, hey, we got a prank call saying that
you tried to hustle somebody for nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Can you give us an insight?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, I don't want to get I don't want to
get iHeart into any issues. So we're gonna we're gonna
pull me an issue, right, right? I I right? I
see what you mean just to see hear what she said?
I then then it then okay, let me go in
my text here. Okay, so I because now now you
got me wondering.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
It doesn't make sense. What do you mean you got
me wondering?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Mark?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
She said, I need three hundred dollars from you, then mentioned, oh,
by the way, I got five hundred.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Unless she's saying she has five hundred in our account.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well that could be it. That could be it, but but.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Why this You need four hundred now?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So so yesterday at ten oh one, as the show
is starting, are you able to lend me like three
hundred till next Friday? So then during a commercial break,
I said, let me see what I can do. I
have a lot of bills that I have to pay for.
So she responded right away, of course, okay, I got
five hundred, so far need four hundred. So three hundred
went to four hundred. Then she put I will pay
(24:02):
you back for sure. So here's a couple of things here,
just on the context, and Chris can back me up
on this. That's why I wanted you to read the
word like, are you able to lend me like three hundred? Now?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
What do you need?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Do you need three hundred or do you need like
three hundred, because I don't know what like three hundred is.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Anywhere from three hundred dollars at three hundred and ninety
nine is what I'm getting, okay, great?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And then at you know, then at ten fifty nine,
well I got five hundred, so far would she claims
she'd had nothing need four hundred?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I will pay you back for sure. That's another thing.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
When someone says, either listen like you tell them, bro,
I will pay you back. You don't need the for
sure in there, that's when it's a little sketchy, the
like three hundred and the for sure. It's those little
red flags. Well, these are actually turning into big red flags.
And then then was the end of the beginning, the
beginning of the end for her at twelve fifty eight PM,
(25:00):
so within one hour she needed four hundred, So she
must have been able Chris to raise let's do the
math here, one hundred and twenty eight dollars within an hour,
because she needed four hundred at ten fifty eight, and
then at twelve fifty six she needed two seventy two,
So it went down from four hundred to two seventy two,
(25:21):
somebody loaned her one hundred and twenty eight dollars. That's
a rather odd to go from. Usually would go from, hey,
all right at four hundred, now I'm down, I need
two fifty.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And then it was like, oh, have to have that
before two thirty.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
And then I'm like, okay, well I found I got
this after two thirty. I'm like, well it's after two thirty.
I must have missed the deadline. I guess you don't
need anymore, so you'll be proud of me. Four nine
four or five to one the free agent text line.
I didn't send her shh n A nothing ish nothing
she got like it's like one of the old Seinfeld
(26:00):
episode No sup for you, No SUP for her?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Right, she got no sup. She got no sup for her.
That's what I'm really curious. I kind of want your
text her back and be like, hey, you got anything
taken care of?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I want to know these answers because it doesn't add up.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, well, if anything, just ask I need a thousand
dollars them J do you have it or not?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And here's another thing too, this four two five got
a great thing. UI cost costs way more than three hundred.
None of it made sense. Did she get a DUI?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Let me look it up.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
They actually costs like close to like ten grand?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Okay, here it is fines and fees, right, a first
Well that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It's a first. Oh it's her first first ever?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, okay, a first time? Do you?
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Washington State can result and finds ranging from three point
fifty to five grand.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I would say it's more in the latter in but yeah,
but anyway, I think the two five three this could
be the what do you say?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Text of the day. You got no business lending money
to her? But even more, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
What kind of choices are you making the women you
choose to go out with?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Hey? It was it was it was one date? That
it was one date? Oh Keith, Keith is so funny. Mark.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Are you sure she isn't a Nigerian prince that scamp
from back in the day? Oh boy? Yeah? Yeah, Well
she was trying to work me. But let's just say,
you know, Mark, MJ. She's working you one day?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Does not?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I warrn't asking you for money? Any money? Chicksty's day?
I swear no.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I know.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Man, Well that's the luck to her, Yeah, I wish
her luck.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I yeah, I wish you should have just been honest,
like if she needed a thousand dollars, just come out
and say that.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, that's what she's insinuating.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Do you know what they say though in terms of asking,
because I don't ask for big money. I don't I
try to. I'm just someone who just just lives within
my means. And if I can't afford to pay for it,
my entire.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
She didn't plan on gett a DUI no, no, I
got it. Thing, no I get I got it. But
if I can't afford.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
To. Oh oh, I got to read this one too,
from the two five to three. So this chick you
went on a date with can't manage her alcohol intake
or money. That's why you always have the person you
go on a date with show you their credit report.
Oh amen to that. So my credit report's out sting.
So I always live within my means. I don't ever
go out. I don't live above it. I just I
just don't do that. I just don't think that's you know,
(28:28):
if I can't pay for my entire credit card statement
balance at the end of the billing cycle, then I
don't buy it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's how I live.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I've never paid for interest on a credit card bill
in twenty five years, never list since I was twenty
one years I never ever ever paid got it from
my mom. It was instilled in me. If you can't
pay for all of it by the time of the
end of your credit card statement billing cycle, don't buy
it at all. Okay, fair enough, But they're not wrong.
(29:00):
They are not wrong on this. This is so I
hope text line, because I try to do the best
for you.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I try to make you proud.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I didn't send her a dime and when she gave
the half to have that before two thirty, you know
what that sounds like?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Here's my thing. You got a dui on Saturday. Why
do you need it before two thirty?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Just saying from the outside looking in, sounds like you
needed it that maybe you needed to buy something before
two thirty that wasn't going towards your legal bills.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I don't know, you tell me what choose. It's just
kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And here's the thing too, there was no you know,
like kind of thing where you know, hey, I'll give
you guys one better. When I was in Florida before
I met with a girl. She asked me, this is
in Tampa. She said, Hey, by the way, I never
met her, never seen her, never met her once. She said,
(29:57):
for a first date. Do you mind paying my baby
sit her fee for the night. It's seventeen dollars an hour.
We've never met. We weren't dating. It was my first day,
she was. I'm like, just suffice to say, we never
went out. So yes, you gotta you gotta just kind
of weed them out or let themselves weed themselves out.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So I hope you're proud to meet text line, I'm
here to make you and from the four two five, Yeah,
I kind of agree with this. This sounds like a
drug addict move. What exactly is she paying for?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Here?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
If you get a DII a DUI, you don't pay
the next day, you get a court date and you
go from there. What exactly is she paying for? That's
what you need to find out. Well, no, I don't
need to find out because I don't care. I didn't
pay her anything, so you know, m Jay almost said
the same thing happened to me like twelve years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Was this chick? Was this chick a freak name Andrea. No,
her name is not Andre.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
You gotta love the text line, I'll tell you, man,
the text line will keep it real and they will
keep it fun. The lines the one lighters on the
text slide are something else.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, yeah, I'm hoping. I hope you're proud of me.
She did and gay.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah you start. You need it before. You just got
a DUI twenty eight hours ago, and you need it now.
I will say this, Chris, I will say this. She
did tell me this, which I should give some context.
Her car got impounded and it was nine and when
you get impounded for duy, it's a lot that So
that's what.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I think she should have just said that from the rip.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
She well, she didn't.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
All I need one thousand dollars because my car then impounded.
I'm gonna get a DUI. Can you help Oh I
don't have a thousand dollars. I can't help you. Right,
That's it's really that simple. That would have been the
comp She like three hundred. Oh, by the way, I
have five hundred, but I need four hundred and now
I need seventy two before two thirty.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, I need the impound close at two thirty. So
this is not adding a sketch sketch.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
To say the least.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
All right, Uh, coming up now, Wow, it is unbelievable.
Now after rookie Mini Caamp certain someone's picking a certain number.
Will tell you who and what number he picked. Coming
up next on MJ in the midday Aaron Goldsmith at
the top of the hour right here on ninety three
to three kJ RTHM. The finest time in the life
(32:18):
of Shadour Sanders. We all know what happened. Revision is history.
Now it has been scrutinized, psychoanalyzed, and critiqued in every way,
shape and form. So not here to go through all
that again. Shadour Sanders, though, has picked a number to
(32:42):
where as he will try to become the next starting
quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. His mentor and a guy
who his father put him in touch with that he's
known since a very young age is Tom Brady. So
the Cleveland Browns put out rookie Jersey numbers before GTA six.
(33:05):
They'll be rocking these through camp. Dylan Gabriel will be
number five and Shoulder Sanders chose number twelve of his
idol tom Brady. Tom Brady was picked with one hundred
and ninety nine pick in the sixth round of the
two thousand draft. Twenty five years later, Shoulder Sanders is
one hundred forty fourth pick in the fifth round of
(33:26):
the twenty twenty five drafts.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I don't have an issue with it. I don't. I
think they're gonna sell a lot of jerseys. I really do.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I think it's I wouldn't be surprised if should Dour said,
let me tell you something. The NFL has been around
for a long time, and the NFL draft's.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Been around very long as well.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
They just topped the highest ratings in Day three of
NFL draft history because of Shaduur sanders precipitous drop to
the fifth rown one hundred and forty fourth overall.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay, so that tells you right that in there he
moves the needle. Whether you like.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Them, some people do or you don't. A lot of
people don't. I don't mind it. I don't mind it.
If you're gonna be great, try to be like the best.
I mean Lebron James in honor of his idol War
number twenty three for Michael Jordan. I don't have a
(34:31):
problem with it. Don't have a problem with it. I
mean not doing that hoholkan bears. But Lebron I will
say that he you know, there's only one twenty three,
but Lebron he represented that number his career.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
He did.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
So it's not the number that player makes the player.
It's the player who makes the number. Okay, and the
Cleveland Browns interesting draft class. I don't like Mason Graham
out of Michigan, but we'll see what happens here. I
like the linebacker out of UCLA and quid Shaw Judkins
who wear is gonna wear number ten?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
The one guy though, I have to tell.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
You, and you might think I'm shocked that you might
be shocked that I'm gonna say this, kid, if you
ask me today, who am I betting on? Like, just
pretend this is the Cleveland Derby, Like we just had
the Kentucky Derby, right, and we're betting on two horses.
You're betting on number five. Dylan Gabriel are a number twelve.
(35:29):
Shoer Sanders. I think Sheder Sanders has a much bigger
upside than Dylan Gabriel. I'm betting on Shoder Sanders. I
really am. I don't know how Dylan Gabriel got drafted.
He's short, he's left handed.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Is he accurate? Absolutely when you're throwing.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
The one thing though about the NFL and Tim Tebow
found this out the hard way, and a lot of
college quarterbacks who tried to make the jump to the
league found this out the hard way. In the NFL,
who are the who are the guys that Tim Tebow
is throwing to at Florida, Percy Harvin, pre serial killer,
Aaron Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
David Nelson?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Who is the guy, uh that was with the Eagles
that Riley Cooper, Riley Cooper, Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps out
of the backfield.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
You throw to an area, you throw to an area
you don't.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Need to throw to us. In the NFL, you need
to throw to a spot. You have to have pin
point precision. Tim Tebow found that out the hard way
that the league. You better be able to throw the spiral,
and you better be able to throw it tight inaccurately,
because if you don't, the league will not be there
long for you. So Shader Sayers number twelve, I don't
(36:48):
have an issue with it. Hey try to be like
your idol and represent number twelve. And I'm gonna tell
you probably surprised they said that. I think he's gonna
last longer than Dylan Gabriel in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I go, I think he is upset.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I think now if he listen, if he can go
in it with the right frame of mind, you've been
humbled and your world can crashing down, and you can
come in it with a good attitude. Now that's the
biggest question. Will he have a good attitude. Well, I
wouldn't bet on that either, but I think his pro
potential is higher than Dylan Gabriel. I don't like short,
(37:25):
lefty quarterbacks. I just don't. I'm not a fan. Michael
Vick was, but Michael Vick was one of the maybe
the grace athlete who ever played the quarterback position. Then
Lamar Jackson came around, and Lamar Jackson can throw the ball.
So like, I just don't like lefty quarterbacks. I'm not
fans of them unless it was Steve Young or Michael Vay.
That's it, not fans. Coming up next, the voice of
(37:46):
the Mariners that you watch every single night on Root Sports,
Aaron Goldsmith for the first time right here on MJ
and the midday ninety three to three kJ r at
them
It rips out, Crown crabs it seven seconds, one Westbrook
five seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
They're top about what Gordon got it? Aaron Carton with
a Dick shuck, Williams knock, No.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
God, the nugget steal Game one.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's a winner for Aaron Gordon, one.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Twenty one to one nineteen.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Well that was the call of the man who's join
us right now, Iron Eagle. What a comeback last night
for the Denver Nuggets, showing the heart of a champion
down in the second half. Iron Eagle on the call
with Grant Hill with the NBA on TNT it felt.
Now we all know Iron's, you know, broadcasting prowess. He
(00:48):
doesn't need his resume or credentials, but I'm gonna go
ahead and stole his virtues anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We know he's the voice of March Madness.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We know he does an excellent job with the NFL
on CBS, and he does the same thing with the
NBA on tnt I. And I know you probably didn't
get to watch too much of the Nick Celtics game
because you were getting ready and prepping for your game
at OKC. But last night really kind of felt like,
dare I say, made madness.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
No, I know what you're saying, Mark, I felt that
we had it on during our production meeting, you meet
with the coaches, you talk about what you're going to
do in the open. So we're watching the Knicks and
the Celtics, and when we took the court to look
at some elements and to get ready at the table,
the Celtics, and then Grant put the game on his phone.
(01:36):
So we're watching it as they're in the layup line,
as they're getting ready for the national anthem, as they
do the starting lineups, and it's all happening concurrently, so
you could feel the tension from Boston. We had no sound,
of course, and then our game starts and we turned
the game off, so we have no idea. We get
(01:58):
to the first time out and I open up my phone,
I go to the NBA app and I show Grant
the final score and we're just baffled how it happened.
So it is amazing how these games start coming at
you fast and furious, and the competitive level and obviously
the the acumen of these guys. It's something three games
(02:19):
right now that have taken place in the second round,
all three road teams have taken Game one with Golden
State Minnesota coming up tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
No question about it.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Ian last night's game though, how did and now that
you sit back and had some time to digest it,
how did Denver do it? And obviously I let's let's
just state you know what it is. I mean, not
long ago they decided to part ways with Mike Malone,
who led them to a title, and they parted ways
with Calvin Booth. They hired David Adelman, and I gotta
(02:50):
tell you, mister Kronkey right now looks like he knew
something that the rest of the world didn't because this
team is just they it literally start and you covered
it because I remember you two years ago covering the
Nuggets and seeing you down in Miami and all that.
He just starts to look like twenty twenty three all
over again. And the one guy that you had right
(03:11):
there on that call Iron he comes into the league.
He was sort of this glorified dunker on All Star weekend.
But I'll tell you, man, I don't know other than
his teammate Nikola Jokic, what player, and of course SGA
more than likely would be the MVP. What player has
improved his game more than Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, lots of unpacked there. Mark. I would start with
the adleman side of it. You know, I think what
ends up happening in sports as a fan and as
a member of the media, you might have a sense
of what's going on, but you don't really know. You're
speculating on what's happening behind the scenes. Clearly there was
(03:54):
a huge issue behind the scenes with the Denver Nuggets.
If there's a power play, if there's management versus coach,
usually one side wins. Normally someone emerges from it. In
this case, they both lost. It was Calvin Booth, it
was Michael Loan. Malone had led them to a championship.
Booth was a part of the hierarchy that helped put
(04:18):
the team together and then tried to usher in the
new era. And they get to the final stretch of
the season, there's three games left in the regular season.
They decide to part ways with both. So there's a
reason why interim coaches don't have a whole lot of
success in the NBA playoffs. You can go through the years,
it doesn't happen very often because usually that means they're
(04:38):
taking over a situation that has a great deal of
toxicity associated to it. The fact that Adelman came in
won those three games, and let's not underrate how big
those games were in terms of standing, in terms of
home court advantage, in terms of avoiding the play in.
They get the four seed that gives them home court
(04:59):
advantage in games Evan against the Clippers where they dominated LA,
and then all of those good feelings carry over into
round two. So the fact that Adelman has pushed the
right buttons, has the trust of his players, has the
built in relationship and a system for ten years, I
think it's gone a long way, and in Denver resembling
(05:20):
the group that we saw from two years ago. You
mentioned Aaron Gordon. He's been huge, He's been immense. He
has the buzzer beating dunk in game four of the
first round against LA and then gets it done again,
not a buzzer beater, but a game winner and game
one of the second round, and he really has improved.
He's improved his jump shot. You're right, he was thought
of as a high flyer and someone that would be
(05:42):
tough around the rim. But the modern NBA, if you
don't add to your game, if you don't adjust and
improve and polish your skills. You're not going to be
around for very long because somebody else is going to
come and replace you. So give credit where credit is due.
Aaron Gordon has done all the right things, and he
really has become mister Nugget in so many ways. Jokich,
(06:04):
of course, is d star. He's going to go down
as one of the greatest players of all time. But
Eric Gordon is highly popular in Denver for a reason.
I think there's been a deep connection between him and
the fan base that keeps paying off for Iron.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Eagle from the NBA on TNT does a great job
on the playoffs right now here on MJ in the
midday on Sports Radio ninety three to three KJRFM on
the Beacon Plumbing Hotline, Jokic, first set Iron, You've been
calling basketball games since you know, Michael Jordan was with
the Bulls, okay, going way back into and you know
(06:38):
when Gonzaga.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Was first becoming this right right.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
As a matter of fact, I don't even know if
you were the ones who called them upsetting. I think
it was North Carolina back in the day in ninety
nine or something like that. I mean, I just know
that you've been calling for a long time. In terms
of overall skill set, Where does Nicole Jokic rank and
iron Eagles eyes? Is he top three? Is he Numero uno?
(07:03):
Where does he rank on ein Eagles Mount rushmore of
the most talented basketball players of all that you've ever called?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, I think that's the way you have to view it.
Thirty one years doing play by play in the NBA
started in nineteen ninety four. So that's included Jordan, It's
included gob, It's included Lebron, It's included Curry and Durant.
And you're now mentioning Nikola Jokic, and he's going to
be in the pantheon. The fact that he does the
(07:33):
way he does it last night included. These are historic
performances that we now just expect from Nikola Jokic. His
numbers last night mark get forty two points, he had
twenty two rebounds, he had six assists. He's the fourth
player in playoff history to crack those numbers. And yet
(07:58):
somehow we walk away from the game and we say, oh, yeah, no,
it's just Nikola Jokis doing the Kola Jokiz things. No, no, no, no, no, no,
these are all time numbers that he puts up time
and time and time, and his shoulders so much of
the load. He is the ultimate team player. He is
the ultimate facilitator. He's someone that when you look at him,
(08:21):
you say, well, no, no, he's not he's not the guy.
You go, yeah, yeah, that's the guy right there. He's
the guy. So it's a pleasure calling his games. He
is creative, his instincts are through the roof. His feel
is extraordinary, and he deserves all the flowers. The three MVPs,
(08:41):
the championship, and then Mark, I'm sure you saw it.
If you didn't see it live, you saw it on
tape later, the demonstrative time out, how he was speaking
his mind, whom was locked in on him, Every player
was in Nobody was looking down at the ground, nobody
(09:02):
was looking out into the stands. They were all looking
at him because they respect him, His passion, his knowledge,
all of it was on display that when you mentioned
it earlier. The sequence for them to win the game
based on Oklahoma City fouling, based on miss free throws
from home grin. They get everything in their power to
(09:26):
stay in the game, and then they got the opening
to actually go and win the game, and they did.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Iron Eagle here on MJ in the midday on ninety
three to three KGRFM. And you know where you have
the greatest you know, you go from you and Grant
and then you go to the greatest studio show in
the history of sports broadcasting, EJ, Kenny, Shaq and Charles.
And you know Charles obviously and a lot of people,
my producers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
He's a young Buck guy.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
He didn't get to see Charles play basketball, so we
only know them like a lot of young kids, they
only know him at chess Chuck, right, They don't know
that this was arguably the greatest rebounder under six foot
five in the history of basketball.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And this guy was a former MVP.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And to see after the game when you sent it
to them in Atlanta and Chuck, Charles just sat there
I and he just said jokich and he.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Just shook his head like he's fageless, like.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Charles Barkley of all people, Iron Eagle was absolutely he
just doesn't know the words. And when you could render
Charles Barkley speechless, Iron, You've done something.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you, Mark, this is always interesting.
This kind of goes into broadcast process, which I don't
really get into. I think there's a there's a group
of people that are interested in it, and then there
are those that don't really care because they just want
to watch the games. But I can just tell you
from a personal stamp last night as an example, the
(10:54):
fact that that arena gets as loud as it gets.
It's one of the more boisterous crowds in the NBA.
But on the flip side, it was stone silence at
the end of the game. So as I'm making that call,
first of all, you're just trying to be accurate more
than anything else. You want to be on top of
what's happening in front of you. Make sure you have
(11:16):
to score the situation right. So as Brown gets it
ahead for Westbrook, Westbrook is hovering around the three point line,
So my first thought is do they realize that they're.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Only down one?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
And I had to double check it myself in my
own head. He crosses it over to Gordon, who's now
at the three point line, and I literally say on
the call, Denver down by one, thinking Gordon is going
to drive it to the rim. He takes the three
and that's not the game winner at the moment because
there's no time on the clock. He makes the shot,
(11:49):
So you hit a certain level with no crowd noise
around you, because they are stone cold stunned in the
moment in the arena. You've got nineteen people that can't
believe what they just witnessed. But Jaylen Williams has a chance.
There's two point eight on the clock. He goes three
quarter court and it's off the mark. And the moment
(12:10):
that it hits everybody in that crowd and the Oklahoma
City sideline that they just lost this game. I ended
up walking to the hotel afterwards. You know, you're wired
after the game, and you're just trying to, you know,
get some energy and try to kill it in some
manner so you can just fall asleep. Sure, And I
walked amongst the fans back to the hotel, and the conversations,
(12:35):
the somber tone, the absolute fact that this group of
people never saw that coming was pretty hard to fathom.
And I think that's what Charles and EJ and Kenny
and Shaq were feeling watching the game. They're getting ready
to do their postgame assuming all right, okay, see up
(12:55):
one to oh Denver played well on the quick turnaround.
No completely different story, and the narrative changed of course
in this series as well, because now they have the
upper hand with a one zero lead, and they did
it in a way that can affect the team. I'm
really curious to see how the Thunder react. My my
(13:16):
general sense would be they'll play well in Game two.
They'll get this bitter taste out of their mouth and
show everybody who they are. But that was a debilitating,
dispiriting loss in the way that it happened.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I can tell you there there was a lot of
people having only been here for three months, but there
were no tears shed or sleep lost in Seattle for
the Oklahoma City Thunder here.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Last night night.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You can understand, you get say that, but I understand
to what you said. The two teams with the best
records in the NBA ok C sixty eight wins, Cleveland
sixty four wins. How much of a disparity is. And
then I mean, even though like the Celtics weren't exactly slouches,
they're defending champions. They go for and oh, and I
mean dominate the Knicks in every single one of those
(14:06):
regular season games. But how much different is playoff basketball
from regular season.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah, there is a difference, clearly. You feel the physical
nature of it. You feel the players testing the boundaries
of what the officials will call and what they won't
call given the circumstances. And then also what translates from
the regular season to the postseason. You could be a
great shooting team, as we know, and the Celtics set
(14:36):
a record to three pointers and then not hit the
side of a barn tossing the ball. Is what happened.
They missed forty five. It would be one thing, HENJ
if I said to you in a different era. If
I just said to you in a different time and place, Hey,
there's a team out there. They're gonna take forty five three.
(14:56):
You say, whoa, whoa, whoa, they're gonna take forty YEP.
If I then amended and say no, no, no, no, no, they're
not gonna take forty five trees. They're gonna miss the
forty five threes, you'd say, well, no, that that doesn't
happen in the NBA. You don't. You never get to
that point because a coach would say, Okay, we got
to stop doing that. It's not working. But we are
(15:19):
in a different age of basketball, and it's interesting that
all three road teams found a way in Game one.
We still have one more Game one with Golden State
on the road against Minnesota. There's a chance that the
road teams could open up one to zero in the
second round. And it just shows you how tight things
(15:39):
are in the NBA, how the margins are so slim,
and in my mind, I still believe in the favorites
in all of the series, but that little seed of
doubt creeps in. There's recency bias, as we know, but
you saw a structure in which all of these teams
(16:01):
could win the series and surprise everybody in the league
based on the fact that it's not far and wide
in the disparity between the upper ruschelon and the next
year iron.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Just to compound off what you said, and yes, they
did complete an NBA playoff historic forty five mysteries. The
Knicks only shot thirty seven threes, so the Celtics missed
forty five more. The forty five threes compared to the
attempts that the Knicks took eight more than the Knicks
actually took, which is that it's a different style of
(16:38):
basketball it's the Steph Curry era and Iron we always
appreciate and always like to hear your voice. And and
Greg Calin if I remember, if I'm not mistaken, I
and you know, it's probably might be a blurder for
you now. But I remember when the Nuggets won, you
said the anatomy of a comeback, and I was like, oh,
that is so great. I was like, that is just
(16:58):
that is just so so great and always a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
It had to happen, mad exact way. There was no
other way to win other than the way that it happens.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, yeah, hey, if the second, if the semi finals
and then the conference finals are anything like Game one
was in the first three games in Cleveland and OKC
and in Boston, we are in for a treat.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Agreed, agreed, great talking.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
All right, all right, Ian Egel, thanks again. I And
there he is here on MJ in the midday. Wow,
what a what just it? If you missed it? Wow,
you missed it. And I was going back and forth
with the Mariners game. So I was doing my job.
A Mariner's game was in. I was going back and forth,
but it was you know, gave. It was tough to
turn it off. Man, it was tough to and he
(17:46):
mentioned something there and that's what you want to see
from every athlete. Was Jokic, who had won three MVP
should have been four in a row. By the way,
the media just wanted to break it up and they
gave one MBD. Yokic should win four MVPs. He won
a finals MVP, and of course a ring. I love
when I see great athletes, the ones who have garnered
the respect of their locker room to get and basically
(18:08):
put all their team down and just say this is
what is yelling and saying this is what we've got
to do, and they're all sitting there like scared puppies,
just listening and like yeah, And that's what a leader does.
You need a leader to win a title. Every team
needs that guy to be able to lead a locker
(18:28):
room or a clubhouse to get to a title. If
you don't have it, you're not gonna win it, period.
I think Oklahoma City has it. They've got SGA, so
they've got one. I think Cleveland has one. Obviously, we
know the Celtics do, and you certainly know the Knicks
do with Jalen Brunson, so you gotta have a leader.
Last night was just epic television, and I can't wait
(18:49):
for tonight and tomorrow night. And that's what you want
when you get to this time of year, you want that,
all right, I.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Have an update for you.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
A lot of people you want to know what I
did on the three hundred dollars. I've got an update
for you coming up next. You might believe it, you
might not, but I got to pay off this tease.
It's coming up next on MJ and the Midday ninety
three to three KJR FM. Remember yesterday, you want to
know what happened about a girl that I went out
(19:20):
with one time, one time and she got a dui
and she asked me for three hundred dollars. So Christopher
Kid has access to the conversation back and forth, and well, yesterday,
(19:45):
right when the show is starting, as you can see
Christopher at ten oh one, why don't you read.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Her question to me right when our show started yesterday?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Are you able to lend me three?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
What's the word before three three hundred? What's the word?
She puts that in there?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Oh? Sorry, my brain, I just ignore it.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
But go ahead and read it verbatim are you able
to lend me like three hundred dollars till next Friday?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And I probably didn't need the like in there. She
could have just put three hundred dollars next Friday. I said,
let me see what I can do. I have a
lot of bills that I have to pay for. So
after the show she responded, at go ahead.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Chris, Okay, I got five hundred so far, need four hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I will pay you back for sure. I'm a little
confused now, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
So she was able to raise five hundred and then
she needed four hundred, but for me she only needed
three hundred. I know, I'm confused too. She needed three hundred,
which I thought that was it. She said she got
five hundred, so she must have raised that, and then
she said, so.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I need four hundred.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
So initially she asked for three hundred, and then Chris,
at about twelve fifty six pm, when the show is
ending yesterday, what are those two texts?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What do they say?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
I need two seventy two? Have to have that before
two thirty pm.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So I was literally on the precipice of then moowing
her the money.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
As soon as she said that she has five hundred. Right,
I'm like, no, no, this is this is sketchy.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What are you doing? Right, So you don't need my
three hundred? Right, you got five hundred.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You're better than me, right, I don't know what, but here.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Was the part Chris that okay.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So then it was I got five hundred, so so far,
then need four hundred. I'll pay you back for sure.
Then I didn't respond because I was during the show.
And then at twelve fifty six pm when we were
going off yesterday, she put I need to seventy two.
Then she put me on the clock like a draft pick,
(21:57):
have to have that before two thirty. And I'm like, oh,
so what two thirty one? You don't need the money.
So I didn't actually even look at my text until
three o'clock because I'm not you know, I just didn't.
And at three o'clock I'm like, oh, well, it's past
two thirty. I guess you don't need the money anymore,
so you're.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Not I'm done talking to her, Right it doesn't make sense?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, it doesn't, Chris. Are you proud?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Are you proud of me? For not setting it one
thousand ver?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Thank you, Chris?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Thank you now that I see more context into this,
it doesn't it doesn't add up. If she said, hey, Mark,
I'm in a pinch, I could really use three hundred dollars.
That seems more reasonable. Not saying that you should do
that or you would have right, but then to say
I got five hundred, So then why you need you
need four hundred more?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
You need nine hundred dollars?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
The math is not mathing Now. I went to WSU.
I'll be the first to tell you I suck at math.
I took communications for a reason. Okay, there's a reasons
behind all of this.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But she needed three hundred and then she said she
ended up she got five, so she raised five hundred
some way somehow.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Can we call her and then you will be instead
of you'll be LJ. Just change your voice and we'll
be like, hey, we got a prank call saying that
you tried to hustle somebody for nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Can you give us an insight?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, I don't want to get I don't want to
get iHeart into any issues. So we're gonna we're gonna
pull me an issue, right, right? I I right? I
see what you mean just to see hear what she said?
I then then it then okay, let me go in
my text here. Okay, so I because now now you
got me wondering.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
It doesn't make sense. What do you mean you got
me wondering?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Mark?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
She said, I need three hundred dollars from you, then mentioned, oh,
by the way, I got five hundred.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Unless she's saying she has five hundred in our account.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well that could be it. That could be it, but but.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Why this You need four hundred now?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So so yesterday at ten oh one, as the show
is starting, are you able to lend me like three
hundred till next Friday? So then during a commercial break,
I said, let me see what I can do. I
have a lot of bills that I have to pay for.
So she responded right away, of course, okay, I got
five hundred, so far need four hundred. So three hundred
went to four hundred. Then she put I will pay
(24:02):
you back for sure. So here's a couple of things here,
just on the context, and Chris can back me up
on this. That's why I wanted you to read the
word like, are you able to lend me like three hundred? Now?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
What do you need?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Do you need three hundred or do you need like
three hundred, because I don't know what like three hundred is.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Anywhere from three hundred dollars at three hundred and ninety
nine is what I'm getting, okay, great?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And then at you know, then at ten fifty nine,
well I got five hundred, so far would she claims
she'd had nothing need four hundred?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I will pay you back for sure. That's another thing.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
When someone says, either listen like you tell them, bro,
I will pay you back. You don't need the for
sure in there, that's when it's a little sketchy, the
like three hundred and the for sure. It's those little
red flags. Well, these are actually turning into big red flags.
And then then was the end of the beginning, the
beginning of the end for her at twelve fifty eight PM,
(25:00):
so within one hour she needed four hundred, So she
must have been able Chris to raise let's do the
math here, one hundred and twenty eight dollars within an hour,
because she needed four hundred at ten fifty eight, and
then at twelve fifty six she needed two seventy two,
So it went down from four hundred to two seventy two,
(25:21):
somebody loaned her one hundred and twenty eight dollars. That's
a rather odd to go from. Usually would go from, hey,
all right at four hundred, now I'm down, I need
two fifty.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And then it was like, oh, have to have that
before two thirty.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
And then I'm like, okay, well I found I got
this after two thirty. I'm like, well it's after two thirty.
I must have missed the deadline. I guess you don't
need anymore, so you'll be proud of me. Four nine
four or five to one the free agent text line.
I didn't send her shh n A nothing ish nothing
she got like it's like one of the old Seinfeld
(26:00):
episode No sup for you, No SUP for her?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Right, she got no sup. She got no sup for her.
That's what I'm really curious. I kind of want your
text her back and be like, hey, you got anything
taken care of?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I want to know these answers because it doesn't add up.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, well, if anything, just ask I need a thousand
dollars them J do you have it or not?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And here's another thing too, this four two five got
a great thing. UI cost costs way more than three hundred.
None of it made sense. Did she get a DUI?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Let me look it up.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
They actually costs like close to like ten grand?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Okay, here it is fines and fees, right, a first
Well that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It's a first. Oh it's her first first ever?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, okay, a first time? Do you?
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Washington State can result and finds ranging from three point
fifty to five grand.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I would say it's more in the latter in but yeah,
but anyway, I think the two five three this could
be the what do you say?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Text of the day. You got no business lending money
to her? But even more, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
What kind of choices are you making the women you
choose to go out with?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Hey? It was it was it was one date? That
it was one date? Oh Keith, Keith is so funny. Mark.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Are you sure she isn't a Nigerian prince that scamp
from back in the day? Oh boy? Yeah? Yeah, Well
she was trying to work me. But let's just say,
you know, Mark, MJ. She's working you one day?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Does not?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I warrn't asking you for money? Any money? Chicksty's day?
I swear no.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I know.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Man, Well that's the luck to her, Yeah, I wish
her luck.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I yeah, I wish you should have just been honest,
like if she needed a thousand dollars, just come out
and say that.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, that's what she's insinuating.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Do you know what they say though in terms of asking,
because I don't ask for big money. I don't I
try to. I'm just someone who just just lives within
my means. And if I can't afford to pay for it,
my entire.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
She didn't plan on gett a DUI no, no, I
got it. Thing, no I get I got it. But
if I can't afford.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
To. Oh oh, I got to read this one too,
from the two five to three. So this chick you
went on a date with can't manage her alcohol intake
or money. That's why you always have the person you
go on a date with show you their credit report.
Oh amen to that. So my credit report's out sting.
So I always live within my means. I don't ever
go out. I don't live above it. I just I
just don't do that. I just don't think that's you know,
(28:28):
if I can't pay for my entire credit card statement
balance at the end of the billing cycle, then I
don't buy it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's how I live.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I've never paid for interest on a credit card bill
in twenty five years, never list since I was twenty
one years I never ever ever paid got it from
my mom. It was instilled in me. If you can't
pay for all of it by the time of the
end of your credit card statement billing cycle, don't buy
it at all. Okay, fair enough, But they're not wrong.
(29:00):
They are not wrong on this. This is so I
hope text line, because I try to do the best
for you.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I try to make you proud.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I didn't send her a dime and when she gave
the half to have that before two thirty, you know
what that sounds like?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Here's my thing. You got a dui on Saturday. Why
do you need it before two thirty?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Just saying from the outside looking in, sounds like you
needed it that maybe you needed to buy something before
two thirty that wasn't going towards your legal bills.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I don't know, you tell me what choose. It's just
kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And here's the thing too, there was no you know,
like kind of thing where you know, hey, I'll give
you guys one better. When I was in Florida before
I met with a girl. She asked me, this is
in Tampa. She said, Hey, by the way, I never
met her, never seen her, never met her once. She said,
(29:57):
for a first date. Do you mind paying my baby
sit her fee for the night. It's seventeen dollars an hour.
We've never met. We weren't dating. It was my first day,
she was. I'm like, just suffice to say, we never
went out. So yes, you gotta you gotta just kind
of weed them out or let themselves weed themselves out.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So I hope you're proud to meet text line, I'm
here to make you and from the four two five, Yeah,
I kind of agree with this. This sounds like a
drug addict move. What exactly is she paying for?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Here?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
If you get a DII a DUI, you don't pay
the next day, you get a court date and you
go from there. What exactly is she paying for? That's
what you need to find out. Well, no, I don't
need to find out because I don't care. I didn't
pay her anything, so you know, m Jay almost said
the same thing happened to me like twelve years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Was this chick? Was this chick a freak name Andrea. No,
her name is not Andre.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
You gotta love the text line, I'll tell you, man,
the text line will keep it real and they will
keep it fun. The lines the one lighters on the
text slide are something else.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, yeah, I'm hoping. I hope you're proud of me.
She did and gay.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah you start. You need it before. You just got
a DUI twenty eight hours ago, and you need it now.
I will say this, Chris, I will say this. She
did tell me this, which I should give some context.
Her car got impounded and it was nine and when
you get impounded for duy, it's a lot that So
that's what.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I think she should have just said that from the rip.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
She well, she didn't.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
All I need one thousand dollars because my car then impounded.
I'm gonna get a DUI. Can you help Oh I
don't have a thousand dollars. I can't help you. Right,
That's it's really that simple. That would have been the
comp She like three hundred. Oh, by the way, I
have five hundred, but I need four hundred and now
I need seventy two before two thirty.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, I need the impound close at two thirty. So
this is not adding a sketch sketch.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
To say the least.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
All right, Uh, coming up now, Wow, it is unbelievable.
Now after rookie Mini Caamp certain someone's picking a certain number.
Will tell you who and what number he picked. Coming
up next on MJ in the midday Aaron Goldsmith at
the top of the hour right here on ninety three
to three kJ RTHM. The finest time in the life
(32:18):
of Shadour Sanders. We all know what happened. Revision is history.
Now it has been scrutinized, psychoanalyzed, and critiqued in every way,
shape and form. So not here to go through all
that again. Shadour Sanders, though, has picked a number to
(32:42):
where as he will try to become the next starting
quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. His mentor and a guy
who his father put him in touch with that he's
known since a very young age is Tom Brady. So
the Cleveland Browns put out rookie Jersey numbers before GTA six.
(33:05):
They'll be rocking these through camp. Dylan Gabriel will be
number five and Shoulder Sanders chose number twelve of his
idol tom Brady. Tom Brady was picked with one hundred
and ninety nine pick in the sixth round of the
two thousand draft. Twenty five years later, Shoulder Sanders is
one hundred forty fourth pick in the fifth round of
(33:26):
the twenty twenty five drafts.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I don't have an issue with it. I don't. I
think they're gonna sell a lot of jerseys. I really do.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I think it's I wouldn't be surprised if should Dour said,
let me tell you something. The NFL has been around
for a long time, and the NFL draft's.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Been around very long as well.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
They just topped the highest ratings in Day three of
NFL draft history because of Shaduur sanders precipitous drop to
the fifth rown one hundred and forty fourth overall.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay, so that tells you right that in there he
moves the needle. Whether you like.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Them, some people do or you don't. A lot of
people don't. I don't mind it. I don't mind it.
If you're gonna be great, try to be like the best.
I mean Lebron James in honor of his idol War
number twenty three for Michael Jordan. I don't have a
(34:31):
problem with it. Don't have a problem with it. I
mean not doing that hoholkan bears. But Lebron I will
say that he you know, there's only one twenty three,
but Lebron he represented that number his career.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
He did.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
So it's not the number that player makes the player.
It's the player who makes the number. Okay, and the
Cleveland Browns interesting draft class. I don't like Mason Graham
out of Michigan, but we'll see what happens here. I
like the linebacker out of UCLA and quid Shaw Judkins
who wear is gonna wear number ten?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
The one guy though, I have to tell.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
You, and you might think I'm shocked that you might
be shocked that I'm gonna say this, kid, if you
ask me today, who am I betting on? Like, just
pretend this is the Cleveland Derby, Like we just had
the Kentucky Derby, right, and we're betting on two horses.
You're betting on number five. Dylan Gabriel are a number twelve.
(35:29):
Shoer Sanders. I think Sheder Sanders has a much bigger
upside than Dylan Gabriel. I'm betting on Shoder Sanders. I
really am. I don't know how Dylan Gabriel got drafted.
He's short, he's left handed.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Is he accurate? Absolutely when you're throwing.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
The one thing though about the NFL and Tim Tebow
found this out the hard way, and a lot of
college quarterbacks who tried to make the jump to the
league found this out the hard way. In the NFL,
who are the who are the guys that Tim Tebow
is throwing to at Florida, Percy Harvin, pre serial killer,
Aaron Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
David Nelson?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Who is the guy, uh that was with the Eagles
that Riley Cooper, Riley Cooper, Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps out
of the backfield.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
You throw to an area, you throw to an area
you don't.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Need to throw to us. In the NFL, you need
to throw to a spot. You have to have pin
point precision. Tim Tebow found that out the hard way
that the league. You better be able to throw the spiral,
and you better be able to throw it tight inaccurately,
because if you don't, the league will not be there
long for you. So Shader Sayers number twelve, I don't
(36:48):
have an issue with it. Hey try to be like
your idol and represent number twelve. And I'm gonna tell
you probably surprised they said that. I think he's gonna
last longer than Dylan Gabriel in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I go, I think he is upset.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I think now if he listen, if he can go
in it with the right frame of mind, you've been
humbled and your world can crashing down, and you can
come in it with a good attitude. Now that's the
biggest question. Will he have a good attitude. Well, I
wouldn't bet on that either, but I think his pro
potential is higher than Dylan Gabriel. I don't like short,
(37:25):
lefty quarterbacks. I just don't. I'm not a fan. Michael
Vick was, but Michael Vick was one of the maybe
the grace athlete who ever played the quarterback position. Then
Lamar Jackson came around, and Lamar Jackson can throw the ball.
So like, I just don't like lefty quarterbacks. I'm not
fans of them unless it was Steve Young or Michael Vay.
That's it, not fans. Coming up next, the voice of
(37:46):
the Mariners that you watch every single night on Root Sports,
Aaron Goldsmith for the first time right here on MJ
and the midday ninety three to three kJ r at
them
