Speaker 2 (03:10):
No more you dollars. You know how you say stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You're like the superweight, the bowl, that's super well, you

Speaker 2 (03:15):
All the madness of a month and spring.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I don't even know the big basketball tournament, no tournament
with sixteen eight sixty nine seventy two teams.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But I remember bigger than that is when Coca Cola
went to court. And maybe when you go into a place, yeah,
and you say can I have a coke?
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Rug?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And if they have pepsi they have to say to
you have pe We don't have coke.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
We have pepsi.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And the old days, when I was a kid, they
would just giving any cola and Coke went to court
to say no when people ask for coke.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That's real though, no right, and that douse you know
they sat the same. But you heard it right. Every
time you go into a rush to say yeah, let me.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
You got a coke, so my wife only will drink
diet coke and we go places.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
She doesn't want to die. Die.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
You don't want to die for Alex, No, I don't.
I'm not disagreeing, but we all have to have a vice. Okay,
I'm not going to disagree with you. But if you
go down south to your point, everything's a cola. You
may want a fanta, but they just call it a cola.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Or a coke. Everything down there, you can have a sprite.
It's a coke.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yes, everything down south is just a coke, even if
it's completely some type of you know, the flavor drink.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's a coke. But anyway, it's here though, one shining moment.
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Let's welcome in the couple crew because we wouldn't be
able to do this fine radio program without them.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Rob g is our producer.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Look at ro Boy we get one hot day now
he over here at Miami Vice and in these streets.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, he's also ready for his big vacation coming up
for six weeks.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Six.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We don't even care anymore, No.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, I mean it's miracle. We got him to record
inside the parking today and getting ready for the opening podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Look at who says I'm going to publish it route.
They forget about that. I have it ready.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But see, has anyone been gone for the other side
of a mother with you know, maternal leaf? Has anyone
be gone for six weeks and came back? I think
this is an exit. He's just not telling them. I
know my rights, that's right, he has his rights. Alex
is our producer, I mean, our engineer. I'll get it right.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Both when he's gone, it's good, that's okay. Alex is
our engineer both mantis.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He's act the anchor desk. She'll keep us updated throughout
the program. And of course Elijah our social media Google
with it yes one day yesterday, he likes me, okay,
And he's going to.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Be gone to So everybody's leaving. You know, I'm going.
I think I'm leaving you to next Friday. Oh god,
just it's just I'm a worker. I'll be here.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I'll hold it down. This is why the odd couples
still rolling seven years strong.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We'll talk to you in a few months. That's okay.
In America, Yes, that'll be it. All right, let's go here.
I get it. Day one of the tournament.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Everybody says it's the greatest dance boys of the year.
Gig yes, overblown, overdone. And I'll say this, it's even
worse now than it was before. Maybe you might have
had some bit of a case when we used to
know who the players were and we actually follow college basketball. Now,
(06:37):
there's no way on God's green earth you could call
this the greatest day in sports. Most people don't watch
college basketball. Most people couldn't identify more than two players
or two or three players. So you're not attached to anybody.
And here's the biggest one. We used to work together.
(07:00):
We used to come into work. There was office pools
and all that. People are working remotely, they are at home.
It ain't the same. I'm sorry, America. When you talk
about the workforce before COVID, everybody went to work. Everybody
was handing out the sheets, fill out their sheet, the brackets,
blah blah blah blah blah. And I'm sorry. The first
(07:22):
day of the tournament, it didn't move for me today. Okay,
I was not moved. Doesn't mean I won't watch partake
and the games are on or but the greatest day
in sports the first day of and today you know
McNee State have the upset, but there's nothing else going
(07:43):
on that would move you. I'm just saying, if you
asked me the greatest day in sports, I say, without question,
it's opening day in Major League Baseball. And I know
the Dodgers and the Cubs opened up in Japan, and
that's an anomaly, and every once in a while they
do something to like that. I worked in some of
the greatest baseball towns in America, and you know this.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's a holiday in.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Detroit, it's a holiday in Cincinnati. It's a holiday in
New York. It's a holiday in Los Angeles. I'm dead serious,
and it means a lot to people. Of course, it's
the passage of the right of passage of spring too,
where people who have been buried in on the East
(08:30):
Coast and in these places they look forward to the
opening day. Spring is here and baseball. So if I
had to pick the best day of any sport, to me,
it's still Major League Baseball.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Over Day one of the NCAA Tournament, dar Luther Vandels
roll around is grave right now. You way, you just
disrespected one shining moment. You had your one shining moment.
Let me tell you why I disagree Baseball. But the day,
obviously it's a it's a beautiful day. You got all
these daytime games and ballparks look beautiful.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But the only reason, a couple of reasons why I disagree.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
One of your better points when you talked about March
madness is I will agree that the it was almost
better in a sense when it was pre electronic of
your jobs handing out papers or your college dorm rooms,
everybody handing out the brackets, that natural having to write
it in. I do admit that felt a little better.
But here's why I disagree with you. Baseball is for
(09:29):
baseball fans, where I think March Madness is even casual fans,
because to your point, I don't know McNee State, I
don't know you know VCU, I don't know Wafford.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I don't know these schools.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
But I'm watching, and I think you get a lot
of people men, women, young, old, who are watching because
it's it's to be to participate in this.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's something I got my bracket.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'm shooting off tweets, I'm shooting off text messages, and
I'm doing it all day.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You'd literally wake up in the morning, there's games. Please,
you did not send out tweets about today's games.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Stop its today they send out their bracket.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
No, who does that?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
People are talking about the games? Really, what game was
it to talk about? As we can let them let
me finish. As we continue to have amazing performances or
close games or buzzer beaters or or uh when we
get upsets, that's when all this stuff back.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Did you see that? You see the magical moments.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
So for me, opening day is a is a great day,
but I think March Madness appeals to many more people.
And it's also a game more participatory. You're into it,
You're invested in your bracket, You're invested in these storylines.
You know, they always find this guy's dad had a
heart attack and now he's back with this This kid
lost two fingers, but he's out here playing right now.
(10:51):
And there's always these storylines they build up the show.
So I'm not gonna obviously this opening day it's a
beautiful day. I just think this one has a little
bit more of a peal. It's an all day thing,
and again you get to participate because you have your bracket.
So for me, that's the answer. They're not in a landslide.
But I just think it March madness the start of it.
(11:13):
It's just a happy, go lucky day. Everybody's excited and
everybody again is participating, so to amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I think you're living in the past and you got
still You're still like fantasizing or romanticizing is the right
word about.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What it used to be.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
When we actually knew in Michigan in the Fab five
and they have players that we knew. And I think
that there was a moment back then when Michael Jordan
was in college and all these guys were in college
and they played for these schools and we knew that
they were playing.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I don't think that and back.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Then it was And I said this to you the
other day, the first Monday in April used to be
the greatest sports day because that was the Cincinnati Reds
opened up every major league season, the only game to
be played at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then
the NCAA Men's back Basketball Championship was that night. That
(12:02):
used to be great for me. I just can't this.
College basketball does not move the needle the same way
that you're the college basketball I was talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It was that side of the eighties nineties. There's no
denying that.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
But I don't know what really is the eighties nineties
and anything in life right. TV doesn't hit the same
big shows, don't hit the same movies. When's the last
time you had to race to the movie theater. Nothing
hits the same now because we're in and dated with
so much. We have so much going on with our phones,
we get stuff, we can get it how we wanted.
They're streaming, so nothing really hits like the era when
you were most fond of it. I agree with that,
(12:35):
but I still think March maddness matters to a lot
of people. I still think it's just a fun day
to just watch games and teams. You don't know any
games you watched today, Well, don't ask me. I literally
watched ninety percent of it because I'm always I'm around,
you know, I'm working TV. So there's TV's I'm here
with you. So saying did you stop to watch any games?
I promise you got home. My daughter's they're you know,
a little not feeling Graham sitting there with them, got
(12:55):
the their.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So you're watching Yeah, Okay, that's serious. I enjoy. Remember
we did it was one of our first ones. Gotta goes.
We did the day you shouldn't have to work.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
We did your birthday, We did super Bowl, we did Halloween,
we did March the day, day one of March Madness.
And what was the last one, Rob, I can't remember
one more day? And I said, March Madness. That was
for me, the day if I could just sit home,
eat wings, watch the games all day. That's my kind
of I love it. That's just me.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Also, but I think you're partial. Your favorite sports baseball.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
My favorite sports sport is basketball, so that also could
play a role in this.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, But I also I've covered all of that. I'm
not wrong. I'm not saying you don't know sports.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I'm saying I covered Saint John's when Mark Jackson played.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I question. I'm just saying, what's your favorite sport? No baseball? Right,
So I'm saying I covered college back.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I know you covered everything since nineteen eighty six and
eighty seven. Rob, Okay, you can't. It's okay that you
love baseball. You literally have a podcast, you have an
entire website dedicated to it, you.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Have a Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Oh, Rob, you love baseball, It's okay you should's that's
your jam. I'm a hooper and so for me March Madness.
We can see what other folks say.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:12):

Loud the kid, and.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
He said something to have to come from? That was

about that life. Oh yeah, all right, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:39):

Don oh for sure the best best sports show on

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Tell him, Don Man, we appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
I Rob, you almost had me.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, I was ready.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
I was ready to agree with you, because I love
Opening Day. But then Kelvin came in with a great
you know, counter argument. Yeah, you counter punched them, that's right,
And I said, well, I gotta agree with count. I said, no,
I can't go in and disagree with Rob again. But
then I thought about it. Sports is it's like Baskin
(17:01):
Robbins thirty one flavors. You can't have one great day.
You've got Super Bowl, you know, you got Dame Seven's
you right, stuff, It's so many greatest days in sports.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Well, I mean, let me say is it real quick?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're you're in Boston, opening days of holiday in Boston,
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Let's just be on it.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Real absolutely absolutely hit the strip, He grabbed some beers
and walk in half tank before the games.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's true. Don't let him persuade you that real quick.
What's your greatest day? Oh? We lost him?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
His point was it? Ever, it's there's multiple days in sports.
That was That was his basket robin taking. He didn't
want to disagree with you.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
All right, Mark, and Indiana, you're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Mark?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Hey, I've been teaching in Indiana for twenty nine years
seven Indiana, and it is a fight on on the
March Madden this Thursday and Friday to keep kids off
their computers and off their phone. MLB Opening Day doesn't
even touch the radar anywhere around here.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well I figured that in Indianison, j'all don't have a
baseball team.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
But that's okay. But that's a point of this though.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Why I understand Mark, I said saying much manness, Thank
you buddy, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Appreciate you. Mark. Let's go chet off the bang lab.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Mason Mason in the Bay Area, you're in the couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
What's up, Mason?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (18:23):
First off, shout out to you guys for working on
this day. Man, I took a little TV time out
from listening to this Arkansas Kansas game, and man, what
a great question.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
To open up the show with. I love I absolutely
love Opening Day, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
But there's two parallels with these these two days.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Is that there's hope.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
There's definitely hope on both of these days. But compared
to Opening Day, there's not that drama. There's not the
chance of a season ending on opening Day. And that's
the thing that kind of draws me a little more
to the March madness side, is that you got all
the drama, you got, anything can happen, as well as
(19:07):
the hope.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
I love Opening Day. It's a fresh start, it's spring
the freaking grass. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We're with you, man, Thank you so much, Mason, appreciate you. Mason.
Speaker 1 (19:19):

lot of a lot of people. John, Yeah, we're under
the gun here.

call back later on last call. All right, we have
Jimmy King knows a little something about marsh mad As.
We'll talk to him in just a little bit. Right now,

I'm actually shocked that you don't know. I thought you
would say Opening Day.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
I know.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
But that caller how he said, how it's like one
and done and it's like the drama.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
He he made me think. Oh, I was in listening
to you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I only listened to the callers.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'll make you out of I'm sorry, so into one
of you closer than me.

of the sport because really we're you know, we're lucky
to be able to to be able to play and
(21:43):
to celebrate the beginning of the season. It's special for
any sport. So I don't have any particular one, but
I enjoy them all. For instance, like open a day
for baseball, that's that's a great day to go out.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know that in Detroit it's a holiday in years.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Yeah, it's called a Detroit. But I'm actually at Dallas
where it's nice and sunshiny right now. So that's why
I'm really you know, enjoying the spring break and spring
weather that we're getting right now.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Hey, Jimmy, let's talk about, of course, the Michigan Fab
five and what it means to be a part of
that and how big it was. And the thing that
I always say is, you know, you guys are in
basketball lore for just you know, the group that was there,
what you were almost able to get to. But there's
something there, the big shorts, all that there walking around
(22:36):
like rock stars, people like were caught up in it,
and it was worthy of that. But not being able
to finish the deal or win, where does that fit in?
Because I think that's what stops people from really being
able to put the Fab five where they should be
in basketball. And now, did you not win a championship?
(22:58):
All right, and we got that, but you guys, which
is shocking, didn't even win a Big Ten title when
you were together. Why do you think that that's fair
to look at the big the Fab five? Is that
that's just not getting like if Lebron was in Miami
and they went to four years and they didn't win,
you know, you wouldn't look at it the same way.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Well, the difference I think is one, it was it's
not professional sports. So the the uh, the long lasting
effect I think it has for fans, particularly uh for
college is one thing. And it and it could get
(23:37):
brought back up repeatedly around this time for through March madness.
And you know, people I think are attached to feelings
and more to how you made them feel in those moments.
And that's the reason why you know, I feel like,
you know, we're always you know, pushed to the front
because we you know, people remember how we made them
(23:59):
feel in those moments, not necessarily that we won. Obviously
we didn't and and lost in in in in some
you know, horrific and you know terrible fashion that that
also is remembered. But when you're in it and you're
playing it, you know, it's it's you know, it's it's
(24:22):
what you think you're supposed to be doing. That's what
we felt we were supposed to do. We we were
intentional about, you know, changing the aesthetics of the game
and bringing our own flavor and making the mark in
that way as well, not just winning the Big Ten
championship or winning the national championship. You know, it was.
(24:47):
It was more to it for us then than just that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But but Jimmy, if I were to say the Fab
five success or failure, which one would it be?
Speaker 10 (24:59):
So says for thirty years for now, people I still
get called for appearances, speaking engagements.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I get all that, but but isn't it about winning?
And I mean it, I'm not trying to be little
the fast far I'm not.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Of course, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Jimmy, you know me for one hundred years.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Of course it's always about winning and and but that's
why we were a little different, in a little special
in the senses that we didn't win anything, but we
are still remembered, as you know, people who who changed
the game, who had the opportunity and probably should win.
But it also points to how hard it is to win,
(25:42):
how difficult it is to win, and the best teams
don't always win in college basketball. Winner is a one
and done format.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Jimmy King our guests on the Odd Couple, member of
the Fab five, Michigan Fant five a right, Jimmy, let
me jump on the other side of this. I'm born
and raised in Antarburm, Michigan. So you guys in your
prime doing your thing. I was give or take ten
eleven twelve years old. Uh, Eric Riley lived in my neighborhood.
How about that? So I'm very fond of you, and
I think what I would want to add to this
(26:10):
conversation is nobody remembers who won in two thousand and two,
you know two thousand and three. There are teams that
are nothing about to remember you memberable. I think the difference.
I get what you're saying winning winning matters all, but
I think.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But if they win, it just it's solidified what they want.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
Look three guys for most, but for most. But I
think that's why we were a little And.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's what I'm adding to this. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
So this is what I'm saying, Rob. There are teams
who won, they just won and you go, okay, wow,
like an Arkansas team one with Carlos Williamson. Does anybody
ever bring up that Arkansas won in like ninety four? No,
And but you bring up the Fab five all the time.
There's documentary, there's books, there's movies. There's probably gonna be
some films come. Everybody says that they're the that and
that's fine because there's a story, there's a legacy to it.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
He took it to the game. See how you taking such as?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
So that's my point out, So so Rob, that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I totally get the want and win.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
But there's teams who wanted nothing memorable about them and
they had a style of fashion. I want to ask
you this though, Jimmy, So you guys part of the
issue with Michigan, you got, oh, Chris Webber's taking this
or this person's taking that.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Now these kids can eat, make money, do all that.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Do you feel like, man, I want to jump into Dolorean,
back to the future and go back in time. Do
you just say, hey, it's just the way it rolls.
What do you think about all this now?
Speaker 10 (27:31):
I wish I could jump into de Laurier and go
back at time because the way these kids right now
are able to play four or five, six, seven, eight
years college crazy. Yeah, I think I would. Yeah, and
also have the opportunity to get paid. I mean, that's
that's the dream. And then have the opportunity to play
at the next level is even better. So you know,
(27:54):
I love that these kids get the opportunity to you know,
capitalize off of their own talent. And and that's what
it's about. That's what we advocated for, that's what we
pushed for, you know, going down the road. I hope
they make it better for the kids coming behind them
and the opportunities that they have and and and not
(28:17):
abusing you know, with in front of them. And and
I think it's great. You know, it's all going to
shake out probably you know, in the next few years
as far as regulatory things go. But but I'm excited
and I'm happy for them. But of course I wish
I had that opportunity because it would have changed it
(28:39):
to have changed you know, a lot of dynamics, uh
moving forward, and you know, with my family and generational
you know, impact and wealth.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
We got one last thing you got about a minute
you talked about how hard it is to win, and
and it is hard to win. People don't always understand that.
But can you believe it's been twenty five years since
tom Izo won a national championship.
Speaker 10 (29:00):
I know That's why I don't I don't as great
as a coaching, and I loved Tom. Tom is a
great guy. He's a great mentor of mind. If people
don't know, he's not just a you know, an advocate
or or adversary on Saturdays and Sundays or during the
week one against one of the best rivalries. But outside
(29:22):
of that, he's always been, you know, in my corner
and in all of our corners, regardless of where we
went to school. But you know when you say twenty
five years that you never know is wide opened. This
might be this year might be pretty good, talented team.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's unbelievable how fast time goes by.
Speaker 10 (29:42):
Absolutely, I'm looking at I got, you know, my nephew.
I was just sitting up here with my nephew and
he's talking about, you know, the birth of his which
he don't know his his baby son or boy in September,
and uh and I'm thinking like, man, I remember we're
putting diapers on you man, I remember before you know.
(30:03):
It's just it's just so wild. But yeah, time don't
stop from no man, it does. Enjoy it while we're here.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yes, sure, Jimmy, you're the best. Appreciate you man. You're
going to j R.

he's on the podium and he's just like, and.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
We want to take up here and we want to
take that and I want to say, Rob Parker, guess
what that would be. I don't have to worry about
that now.

Now, the Knicks lost last night, but uh minus seven

best bet. The Bucks playing nobody on the Lakers. I'm
taking the Bucks minus seven and a half. That spread
had to go up by now, the points spread there.

a half, and the New York Knickerbocker's minus seven and
a half. And come, remember one thing, what's that I'm
not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling you

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Rob.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I was trying to do it on my phone and

st around and couldn't finish it. So I'm a little
sad and disappointed in myself. So I have a bracket,

So here's the guy who you know, March Madness is
the biggest day it and but he doesn't have a bracket.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I do have it in and agreed I kill racket.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Should drive off the road, stop your car, get out,
and put your head down in shame.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I have a brain. No, no, you did not.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
It wasn't important enough for you to make sure you
got your bracket in. He's so caught up on a tournament.
And Thursday is the greatest day in the world. You
should have been up at two o'clock in the morning
doing your bracket.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
I have no I do. I have a bracket, but
I'm saddened. I'm sadden right now. When they go there,
they're gonna see Rob and they won't see me.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Alex Chris Bousor would have got his bracket in on time.
I'm just saying he would have. I can't even want
to drive your knees.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Maybe he would have. Yeah, but you know what, I'm
mad enough to do to admit it. One thing I like,
even if you got to do it. You know.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Four times a show is that you can own up
to when you make a mistake? Yeah, okay, I can
four times a year. No a show when you when
you're gonna start owning up? I own up all the time,

your face and told you that Eli was not about
to make the Hall of Fame.

And the next day you came on the air, it
was like, hey, y'all, come about the day Eli?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Anyway, you just move right.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Past it, Lamar Jackson and told that man for two months, No,
Josh Allen was gonna win the m v P and you,
and then it came out and Rob spun it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
They got it wrong, he got it wrong, anyone else,
Robie he did. Look at me, and you know what,
I gotta give it to you. You were right.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
You wouldn't know because because what because what happened?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I had in there, what had happened, what had happened
when that happened?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Weapons and Robb g and I said, when you be
your first time first team all Pro, don't tell me
you didn't have doubts about whether or not he's gonna
win the.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
M v P.
Speaker 5 (36:31):

Speaker 5 (02:57):
That's right, one shining moment. Shout out to Luther RP,
Luther Vandross. It's here, It is here, march met cann't
even say that. I don't even know what you're allowed
to say.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
No more you dollars. You know how you say stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You're like the superweight, the bowl, that's super well, you
can say.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
All the madness of a month and spring.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I don't even know the big basketball tournament, no tournament
with sixteen eight sixty nine seventy two teams.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But I remember bigger than that is when Coca Cola
went to court. And maybe when you go into a place, yeah,
and you say can I have a coke?
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Rug?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And if they have pepsi they have to say to
you have pe We don't have coke.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
We have pepsi.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And the old days, when I was a kid, they
would just giving any cola and Coke went to court
to say no when people ask for coke.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That's real though, no right, and that douse you know
they sat the same. But you heard it right. Every
time you go into a rush to say yeah, let me.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
You got a coke, so my wife only will drink
diet coke and we go places.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
She doesn't want to die. Die.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
You don't want to die for Alex, No, I don't.
I'm not disagreeing, but we all have to have a vice. Okay,
I'm not going to disagree with you. But if you
go down south to your point, everything's a cola. You
may want a fanta, but they just call it a cola.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Or a coke. Everything down there, you can have a sprite.
It's a coke.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yes, everything down south is just a coke, even if
it's completely some type of you know, the flavor drink.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's a coke. But anyway, it's here though, one shining moment.
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Let's welcome in the couple crew because we wouldn't be
able to do this fine radio program without them.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Rob g is our producer.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Look at ro Boy we get one hot day now
he over here at Miami Vice and in these streets.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, he's also ready for his big vacation coming up
for six weeks.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Six.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We don't even care anymore, No.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, I mean it's miracle. We got him to record
inside the parking today and getting ready for the opening podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Look at who says I'm going to publish it route.
They forget about that. I have it ready.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But see, has anyone been gone for the other side
of a mother with you know, maternal leaf? Has anyone
be gone for six weeks and came back? I think
this is an exit. He's just not telling them. I
know my rights, that's right, he has his rights. Alex
is our producer, I mean, our engineer. I'll get it right.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Both when he's gone, it's good, that's okay. Alex is
our engineer both mantis.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He's act the anchor desk. She'll keep us updated throughout
the program. And of course Elijah our social media Google
with it yes one day yesterday, he likes me, okay,
And he's going to.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Be gone to So everybody's leaving. You know, I'm going.
I think I'm leaving you to next Friday. Oh god,
just it's just I'm a worker. I'll be here.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I'll hold it down. This is why the odd couples
still rolling seven years strong.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We'll talk to you in a few months. That's okay.
In America, Yes, that'll be it. All right, let's go here.
I get it. Day one of the tournament.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Everybody says it's the greatest dance boys of the year.
Gig yes, overblown, overdone. And I'll say this, it's even
worse now than it was before. Maybe you might have
had some bit of a case when we used to
know who the players were and we actually follow college basketball. Now,
(06:37):
there's no way on God's green earth you could call
this the greatest day in sports. Most people don't watch
college basketball. Most people couldn't identify more than two players
or two or three players. So you're not attached to anybody.
And here's the biggest one. We used to work together.
(07:00):
We used to come into work. There was office pools
and all that. People are working remotely, they are at home.
It ain't the same. I'm sorry, America. When you talk
about the workforce before COVID, everybody went to work. Everybody
was handing out the sheets, fill out their sheet, the brackets,
blah blah blah blah blah. And I'm sorry. The first
(07:22):
day of the tournament, it didn't move for me today. Okay,
I was not moved. Doesn't mean I won't watch partake
and the games are on or but the greatest day
in sports the first day of and today you know
McNee State have the upset, but there's nothing else going
(07:43):
on that would move you. I'm just saying, if you
asked me the greatest day in sports, I say, without question,
it's opening day in Major League Baseball. And I know
the Dodgers and the Cubs opened up in Japan, and
that's an anomaly, and every once in a while they
do something to like that. I worked in some of
the greatest baseball towns in America, and you know this.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's a holiday in.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Detroit, it's a holiday in Cincinnati. It's a holiday in
New York. It's a holiday in Los Angeles. I'm dead serious,
and it means a lot to people. Of course, it's
the passage of the right of passage of spring too,
where people who have been buried in on the East
(08:30):
Coast and in these places they look forward to the
opening day. Spring is here and baseball. So if I
had to pick the best day of any sport, to me,
it's still Major League Baseball.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Over Day one of the NCAA Tournament, dar Luther Vandels
roll around is grave right now. You way, you just
disrespected one shining moment. You had your one shining moment.
Let me tell you why I disagree Baseball. But the day,
obviously it's a it's a beautiful day. You got all
these daytime games and ballparks look beautiful.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But the only reason, a couple of reasons why I disagree.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
One of your better points when you talked about March
madness is I will agree that the it was almost
better in a sense when it was pre electronic of
your jobs handing out papers or your college dorm rooms,
everybody handing out the brackets, that natural having to write
it in. I do admit that felt a little better.
But here's why I disagree with you. Baseball is for
(09:29):
baseball fans, where I think March Madness is even casual fans,
because to your point, I don't know McNee State, I
don't know you know VCU, I don't know Wafford.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I don't know these schools.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
But I'm watching, and I think you get a lot
of people men, women, young, old, who are watching because
it's it's to be to participate in this.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's something I got my bracket.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'm shooting off tweets, I'm shooting off text messages, and
I'm doing it all day.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You'd literally wake up in the morning, there's games. Please,
you did not send out tweets about today's games.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Stop its today they send out their bracket.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
No, who does that?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
People are talking about the games? Really, what game was
it to talk about? As we can let them let
me finish. As we continue to have amazing performances or
close games or buzzer beaters or or uh when we
get upsets, that's when all this stuff back.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Did you see that? You see the magical moments.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
So for me, opening day is a is a great day,
but I think March Madness appeals to many more people.
And it's also a game more participatory. You're into it,
You're invested in your bracket, You're invested in these storylines.
You know, they always find this guy's dad had a
heart attack and now he's back with this This kid
lost two fingers, but he's out here playing right now.
(10:51):
And there's always these storylines they build up the show.
So I'm not gonna obviously this opening day it's a
beautiful day. I just think this one has a little
bit more of a peal. It's an all day thing,
and again you get to participate because you have your bracket.
So for me, that's the answer. They're not in a landslide.
But I just think it March madness the start of it.
(11:13):
It's just a happy, go lucky day. Everybody's excited and
everybody again is participating, so to amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I think you're living in the past and you got
still You're still like fantasizing or romanticizing is the right
word about.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What it used to be.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
When we actually knew in Michigan in the Fab five
and they have players that we knew. And I think
that there was a moment back then when Michael Jordan
was in college and all these guys were in college
and they played for these schools and we knew that
they were playing.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I don't think that and back.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Then it was And I said this to you the
other day, the first Monday in April used to be
the greatest sports day because that was the Cincinnati Reds
opened up every major league season, the only game to
be played at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then
the NCAA Men's back Basketball Championship was that night. That
(12:02):
used to be great for me. I just can't this.
College basketball does not move the needle the same way
that you're the college basketball I was talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It was that side of the eighties nineties. There's no
denying that.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
But I don't know what really is the eighties nineties
and anything in life right. TV doesn't hit the same
big shows, don't hit the same movies. When's the last
time you had to race to the movie theater. Nothing
hits the same now because we're in and dated with
so much. We have so much going on with our phones,
we get stuff, we can get it how we wanted.
They're streaming, so nothing really hits like the era when
you were most fond of it. I agree with that,
(12:35):
but I still think March maddness matters to a lot
of people. I still think it's just a fun day
to just watch games and teams. You don't know any
games you watched today, Well, don't ask me. I literally
watched ninety percent of it because I'm always I'm around,
you know, I'm working TV. So there's TV's I'm here
with you. So saying did you stop to watch any games?
I promise you got home. My daughter's they're you know,
a little not feeling Graham sitting there with them, got
(12:55):
the their.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So you're watching Yeah, Okay, that's serious. I enjoy. Remember
we did it was one of our first ones. Gotta goes.
We did the day you shouldn't have to work.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
We did your birthday, We did super Bowl, we did Halloween,
we did March the day, day one of March Madness.
And what was the last one, Rob, I can't remember
one more day? And I said, March Madness. That was
for me, the day if I could just sit home,
eat wings, watch the games all day. That's my kind
of I love it. That's just me.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Also, but I think you're partial. Your favorite sports baseball.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
My favorite sports sport is basketball, so that also could
play a role in this.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, But I also I've covered all of that. I'm
not wrong. I'm not saying you don't know sports.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I'm saying I covered Saint John's when Mark Jackson played.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I question. I'm just saying, what's your favorite sport? No baseball? Right,
So I'm saying I covered college back.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I know you covered everything since nineteen eighty six and
eighty seven. Rob, Okay, you can't. It's okay that you
love baseball. You literally have a podcast, you have an
entire website dedicated to it, you.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Have a Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Oh, Rob, you love baseball, It's okay you should's that's
your jam. I'm a hooper and so for me March Madness.
We can see what other folks say.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:12):

The greatest line I heard from mister T was he's
on Larry King and Larry King said, all that jewelry
you had on? Is that real? And he looked at
Loud the kid, and.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
He said something to have to come from? That was

about that life. Oh yeah, all right, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Funny people you do.
Speaker 5 (15:40):

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Let's go truck or Don in Boston. You're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Trucker, Don?
Speaker 7 (16:17):

Speaker 7 (16:18):
You thank you for taking Michael. I always appreciate it,
you know that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh yeah, thanks for the support. You know that.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Don oh for sure the best best sports show on
the radio.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Tell him, Don Man, we appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
I Rob, you almost had me.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, I was ready.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
I was ready to agree with you, because I love
Opening Day. But then Kelvin came in with a great
you know, counter argument. Yeah, you counter punched them, that's right,
And I said, well, I gotta agree with count. I said, no,
I can't go in and disagree with Rob again. But
then I thought about it. Sports is it's like Baskin
(17:01):
Robbins thirty one flavors. You can't have one great day.
You've got Super Bowl, you know, you got Dame Seven's
you right, stuff, It's so many greatest days in sports.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Well, I mean, let me say is it real quick?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're you're in Boston, opening days of holiday in Boston,
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Let's just be on it.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Real absolutely absolutely hit the strip, He grabbed some beers
and walk in half tank before the games.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's true. Don't let him persuade you that real quick.
What's your greatest day? Oh? We lost him?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
His point was it? Ever, it's there's multiple days in sports.
That was That was his basket robin taking. He didn't
want to disagree with you.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
All right, Mark, and Indiana, you're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Mark?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Hey, I've been teaching in Indiana for twenty nine years
seven Indiana, and it is a fight on on the
March Madden this Thursday and Friday to keep kids off
their computers and off their phone. MLB Opening Day doesn't
even touch the radar anywhere around here.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well I figured that in Indianison, j'all don't have a
baseball team.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
But that's okay. But that's a point of this though.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Why I understand Mark, I said saying much manness, Thank
you buddy, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Appreciate you. Mark. Let's go chet off the bang lab.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Mason Mason in the Bay Area, you're in the couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
What's up, Mason?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (18:23):
First off, shout out to you guys for working on
this day. Man, I took a little TV time out
from listening to this Arkansas Kansas game, and man, what
a great question.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
To open up the show with. I love I absolutely
love Opening Day, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
But there's two parallels with these these two days.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Is that there's hope.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
There's definitely hope on both of these days. But compared
to Opening Day, there's not that drama. There's not the
chance of a season ending on opening Day. And that's
the thing that kind of draws me a little more
to the March madness side, is that you got all
the drama, you got, anything can happen, as well as
(19:07):
the hope.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
I love Opening Day. It's a fresh start, it's spring
the freaking grass. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We're with you, man, Thank you so much, Mason, appreciate you. Mason.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
All right, all right, I'm sorry, man, I know a
lot of a lot of people. John, Yeah, we're under
the gun here.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah, we'll try to get maybe if you want to
call back later on last call. All right, we have
Jimmy King knows a little something about marsh mad As.
We'll talk to him in just a little bit. Right now,
it's what's training with Manzi Blano Monty.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hi, guys, happy third. You know it? You know it?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh yeah, I don't know, guys, this is a sophie's choice.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
This is a good comb.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
I'm actually shocked that you don't know. I thought you
would say Opening Day.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
I know.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
But that caller how he said, how it's like one
and done and it's like the drama.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
He he made me think. Oh, I was in listening
to you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I only listened to the callers.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'll make you out of I'm sorry, so into one
of you closer than me.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It did add to it because I love Opening Day.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'm in Los Angeles. It is all the time. Yes,
rob g. Nobody goes to work.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, Lakers, Dodgers, Lakers for opening I'm just.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Saying in La, Yes, yes, you might study show for
study show. No, not to get all nerdy, but like
billion tickets are sold and I'm gonna give you the
example in twenty twenty, when the Dodgers and Lakers both
won the championship.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Who had higher TV ratings? Dodge Dodgers will watch this
thing they did.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
Welcome in Jimmy King to the couple, Rob and Kevin
on a TV things Jimmy Michigan Fab five.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
What's up Jimmy? Now, we're just arguing with my brothers.
We're going good, Jimmy. We're just arguing like we always do. Man.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
But how big of a day is it for you?
We were just talking about big sports days. You got
Opening day in baseball. Some people maybe say the Super
Bowl is the biggest day. Some people like me would
say it's the opening day of the tournament. What about you,
how do you feel about today?
Speaker 10 (21:22):
Well, anytime that you know, we get a chance to
celebrate or or to have a new season or new beginning,
I love it, whether it's baseball, basketball, or football, regardless
of the sport because really we're you know, we're lucky
to be able to to be able to play and
(21:43):
to celebrate the beginning of the season. It's special for
any sport. So I don't have any particular one, but
I enjoy them all. For instance, like open a day
for baseball, that's that's a great day to go out.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know that in Detroit it's a holiday in years.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Yeah, it's called a Detroit. But I'm actually at Dallas
where it's nice and sunshiny right now. So that's why
I'm really you know, enjoying the spring break and spring
weather that we're getting right now.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Hey, Jimmy, let's talk about, of course, the Michigan Fab
five and what it means to be a part of
that and how big it was. And the thing that
I always say is, you know, you guys are in
basketball lore for just you know, the group that was there,
what you were almost able to get to. But there's
something there, the big shorts, all that there walking around
(22:36):
like rock stars, people like were caught up in it,
and it was worthy of that. But not being able
to finish the deal or win, where does that fit in?
Because I think that's what stops people from really being
able to put the Fab five where they should be
in basketball. And now, did you not win a championship?
(22:58):
All right, and we got that, but you guys, which
is shocking, didn't even win a Big Ten title when
you were together. Why do you think that that's fair
to look at the big the Fab five? Is that
that's just not getting like if Lebron was in Miami
and they went to four years and they didn't win,
you know, you wouldn't look at it the same way.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Well, the difference I think is one, it was it's
not professional sports. So the the uh, the long lasting
effect I think it has for fans, particularly uh for
college is one thing. And it and it could get
(23:37):
brought back up repeatedly around this time for through March madness.
And you know, people I think are attached to feelings
and more to how you made them feel in those moments.
And that's the reason why you know, I feel like,
you know, we're always you know, pushed to the front
because we you know, people remember how we made them
(23:59):
feel in those moments, not necessarily that we won. Obviously
we didn't and and lost in in in in some
you know, horrific and you know terrible fashion that that
also is remembered. But when you're in it and you're
playing it, you know, it's it's you know, it's it's
(24:22):
what you think you're supposed to be doing. That's what
we felt we were supposed to do. We we were
intentional about, you know, changing the aesthetics of the game
and bringing our own flavor and making the mark in
that way as well, not just winning the Big Ten
championship or winning the national championship. You know, it was.
(24:47):
It was more to it for us then than just that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But but Jimmy, if I were to say the Fab
five success or failure, which one would it be?
Speaker 10 (24:59):
So says for thirty years for now, people I still
get called for appearances, speaking engagements.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I get all that, but but isn't it about winning?
And I mean it, I'm not trying to be little
the fast far I'm not.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Of course, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Jimmy, you know me for one hundred years.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Of course it's always about winning and and but that's
why we were a little different, in a little special
in the senses that we didn't win anything, but we
are still remembered, as you know, people who who changed
the game, who had the opportunity and probably should win.
But it also points to how hard it is to win,
(25:42):
how difficult it is to win, and the best teams
don't always win in college basketball. Winner is a one
and done format.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Jimmy King our guests on the Odd Couple, member of
the Fab five, Michigan Fant five a right, Jimmy, let
me jump on the other side of this. I'm born
and raised in Antarburm, Michigan. So you guys in your
prime doing your thing. I was give or take ten
eleven twelve years old. Uh, Eric Riley lived in my neighborhood.
How about that? So I'm very fond of you, and
I think what I would want to add to this
(26:10):
conversation is nobody remembers who won in two thousand and two,
you know two thousand and three. There are teams that
are nothing about to remember you memberable. I think the difference.
I get what you're saying winning winning matters all, but
I think.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But if they win, it just it's solidified what they want.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
Look three guys for most, but for most. But I
think that's why we were a little And.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's what I'm adding to this. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
So this is what I'm saying, Rob. There are teams
who won, they just won and you go, okay, wow,
like an Arkansas team one with Carlos Williamson. Does anybody
ever bring up that Arkansas won in like ninety four? No,
And but you bring up the Fab five all the time.
There's documentary, there's books, there's movies. There's probably gonna be
some films come. Everybody says that they're the that and
that's fine because there's a story, there's a legacy to it.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
He took it to the game. See how you taking such as?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
So that's my point out, So so Rob, that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I totally get the want and win.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
But there's teams who wanted nothing memorable about them and
they had a style of fashion. I want to ask
you this though, Jimmy, So you guys part of the
issue with Michigan, you got, oh, Chris Webber's taking this
or this person's taking that.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Now these kids can eat, make money, do all that.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Do you feel like, man, I want to jump into Dolorean,
back to the future and go back in time. Do
you just say, hey, it's just the way it rolls.
What do you think about all this now?
Speaker 10 (27:31):
I wish I could jump into de Laurier and go
back at time because the way these kids right now
are able to play four or five, six, seven, eight
years college crazy. Yeah, I think I would. Yeah, and
also have the opportunity to get paid. I mean, that's
that's the dream. And then have the opportunity to play
at the next level is even better. So you know,
(27:54):
I love that these kids get the opportunity to you know,
capitalize off of their own talent. And and that's what
it's about. That's what we advocated for, that's what we
pushed for, you know, going down the road. I hope
they make it better for the kids coming behind them
and the opportunities that they have and and and not
(28:17):
abusing you know, with in front of them. And and
I think it's great. You know, it's all going to
shake out probably you know, in the next few years
as far as regulatory things go. But but I'm excited
and I'm happy for them. But of course I wish
I had that opportunity because it would have changed it
(28:39):
to have changed you know, a lot of dynamics, uh
moving forward, and you know, with my family and generational
you know, impact and wealth.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
We got one last thing you got about a minute
you talked about how hard it is to win, and
and it is hard to win. People don't always understand that.
But can you believe it's been twenty five years since
tom Izo won a national championship.
Speaker 10 (29:00):
I know That's why I don't I don't as great
as a coaching, and I loved Tom. Tom is a
great guy. He's a great mentor of mind. If people
don't know, he's not just a you know, an advocate
or or adversary on Saturdays and Sundays or during the
week one against one of the best rivalries. But outside
(29:22):
of that, he's always been, you know, in my corner
and in all of our corners, regardless of where we
went to school. But you know when you say twenty
five years that you never know is wide opened. This
might be this year might be pretty good, talented team.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's unbelievable how fast time goes by.
Speaker 10 (29:42):
Absolutely, I'm looking at I got, you know, my nephew.
I was just sitting up here with my nephew and
he's talking about, you know, the birth of his which
he don't know his his baby son or boy in September,
and uh and I'm thinking like, man, I remember we're

Speaker 1 (34:26):
It wasn't important enough for you to make sure you

mad enough to do to admit it. One thing I like,
