Houston to talk to the Touchdown Club and we have
a lot of audio from there. We'll also continue the
(00:20):
conversations about the NBA and you'll have the world's strongest take.
But right now I want to get into this conversation
because it is taking over the internet. It is the
story of one hundred men versus one gorilla. Mark, You
and I we've had our hands in the dirt before.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We went around.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We've done some things in our lives. But I promise
you there is nothing on this earth that scares me
more than having to face a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And that's just the first man. That's the first guy.
That is just the first man. Hey, that first dude. Oh,
(01:19):
he's so brave.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
He gonna the most of the stories are gonna be
told about the first guy.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, Hey, if.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You're viewing from a farm, if you in that line, you.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Are taking off. Hey, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I'm gonna tell you what I would do. All right,
come on, I would be in the last twenty five.
I would put a five the twenty five guy command
those team together, and it's like, hey, y'all on legs,
y'all on arms, and I'm gonna just jump and get
the real neked choke and we're gonna see if we
can do this. You gotta have a strategy on. You
(01:56):
gotta have a strategy. But I'm gonna tell you a story.
I went to the New New York City Zoo when
I first moved to Harlem in two thousand and one.
And in the zoo like they had a I think
he was six hundred pounds, six hundred pounds, mainland guerrilla.
(02:19):
He was sitting kind of on his ledge, you know,
mind his own business, watching everything. He realized that he
was the king of that place, of course, and at
some point he got bored with people taking pictures and
looking at him, and he reached.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Up with one hand.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And pulled himself up on a ledge and grabbed the
floor and laid on top and got some son.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Now, let me go back and tell you what I
just said.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
He's six hundred pounds. He reached up with one arm,
grab this ledge and pulled himself up and assisted himself
with the other hand. Now, if you have the strength
(03:14):
to do a one arm pull up and you weigh
six six hundred pounds, yes, I don't know a lot,
but I know strength.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.
Let me tell this something. I don't want none of that.
They will pull your arm. Oh thank you. Grab.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I'm talking about like a cook chicken wing, Not like
a chicken wing that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You have to prepare it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm talking about you know how you go to your
favorite wings place and you just pull a wing apart.
That's that's what they're gonna do to you. So this
one dude posted on social media. I tweeted out the
the if, y'all, god, this is funny.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I pulled up. I pulled up.
Speaker 1 (04:04):

what would happen.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
If one hundred dudes tried to fight this.

from Baltimore, thirty Somemoens, twelve Chicago brothers, five dudes from

Kickoff on a Texas Tuesday edition of the Morning Kickoff
Right here the Sports Radio Am thirteen hundred Zone. Welcome
back to our number two of the morning kickoff right
here on sports Radio AM thirteen hundred to Zone and
hour one. We talked about coach Sark meeting with the media.
(07:43):
We also figured out that Miami went fishing a long
time ago, as they got destroyed by fifty five points
last night against the Cleveland Cavalions.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We should have had the Cleveland Cavaliers go ahead that gorilla.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We also just finished up talking about one hundred men
trying to take on one gorilla.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Can we get this two more minutes? And who would win? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Because my boy ike long time listeners, He's locked into
the show every single day. He said, the only way
that this could happen is if them people are on
bath salts.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Let me go get some medicated before I go over
here and slap this gorilla. I'm gonna tell you what's
gonna happen in real life. In real life, what would happen.
The first guy would go up there and he would
throw his best punch and that gorilla would eat it
(08:53):
like a candy. I mean listens, and then that would
be ninety nine people running over each other trying to get.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
To Antonio that's the way people would slow down. People
wouldn't even slow down. They got to San Antonio. Exactly,
why are you running? You when you see me run,
it's time to go.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hey. If you see me run, I tell you all
the time, I don't even exercise because I don't plan
on running. I'm plan on fight.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Exactly. I'm a standing fight.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
If it's a gorilla, like I'm I'm gonna be blown up,
it's gonna be a track meet.

one of the craziest stories ever.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
One hundred men trying to fight one gorilla.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There is no way that is humanly possible, because that
gorilla will tell you apart period.
