Speaker 1 (00:00):
Although the Lions did not win last week, but they
got rock they got Did you see that that hit piece?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I haven't watched yet, but a lot of people on
Twitter are talking about NFL Films did a one minute
to two minute piece following Brian Branch's game play and
breaking down all these elements of like where he messed
up or got exposed.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
A lot of people are unhappy. I haven't seen yet.
Did you see it?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I thought you were talking about the I saw one
of the players. Somebody came out this week. A guy
from the Indianapolis Coats Colts came out this week. I
saw that, yep, where he was talking about juju Smith
Schuster And how much of a wasn't that? Wasn't he
talking about Jujus Shuster? Yeah, saying that he's he's a
bad player. Or he said bitch, yeah, bitch, and it's
(00:47):
about Tom somebody beat his assed. That's basically what he
was saying.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
But NFL Films did something on Brian branch Man, and
I've been seeing it. I got some cases a bunch
of times, so cav.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I did not see it. But did they Were they
trying to make Brian branch look bad?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Exactly and they deleted it, and I think Dan Skipper commented,
or maybe Ragnow one of our players commented, and then
DJ Reader he actually commented on his will saying, no,
keep it up.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So then let's uh unravel this a little bit. Is
Brian Branch because I mentioned this earlier this morning that
I saw one of the sports sites say that, hey,
let me show you all the Brian Branch finds that
he's had in his career, and it was crazy, like,
(01:34):
he's probably as far as current NFL players in the
top maybe five percent of them fined by the league
for some things that he's done on the field. So
are we to say that Juju Smith Schuster is also
one of those guys that causes for issues.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I don't think he finds players like earlier in his
career when he got drafted and was playing for the
Pittsburgh Steelers, he was a young kid and a lot
of people said he lacked maturity. He was huge on
social media, huge on TikTok, so he got this idea
of being a guy that plays too much, and like
your point, that linebacker from the Indianapolis Colts, I think
(02:13):
that's what he's saying Juju does little things to get
under people's skins. He's like a little kid, and it's
about time that somebody put him in his place.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's interesting because you know those guys that are like
this and you know this in life. I mean, there's
there's those people that are that talk crap all the time.
They hold on is this if I play this, well
I get swear words? I haven't. I haven't watched it
might probably well, you know, all right here this is
(02:43):
the club that's just let's just let's start over because
I talked.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Okay, first of all, Juju needed his asthma.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Let's just let's just let's just go there.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Number one I have specifically really needs.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I think he swears like right around here. So hold
on a second, hold on already. I mean you've got
the point off. Yeah, so yeah, I think it definitely is.
I So there are those people though. It's kind of
like what we talked about earlier this morning about the
guy in the karma in the parking lot. You know,
(03:26):
but will karma come back after Juju? Smith Schuster and
the Kansas City Chiefs. They're playing the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend.
And did you see the draft I think it was
Draft Kings or whatever said that they put such a
spread favoring the Chiefs in this game, which I was
shocked to see that because the Chiefs are getting back
(03:46):
their star, you know, receiver rights plan the Raiders this
week though, Oh they are playing Eagles. They planned the
Raiders this week. When did when did the Chiefs and
Eagles play played them already this year? It was yeah,
one of the earlier games they played them. It was okay,
I'm not talking sports, No, you're good, a lot of sports.
(04:07):
Eagles destroyed them.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But look, but to your point though about the Brian Branch,
it's over the last two seasons, he's reportedly been fined
a total of one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Holy cow. Yeah, it's a lot of money. Yeah, and well,
and we're I think more so than the money being
fined because he's obviously making enough money that doesn't affect him.
He can still pay his bills. Not having him on
the field is the thing. So as a Lions fan,
you know, you want to have some depth there, and
(04:37):
we don't have any depth in that.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
What do you think that amount is equal to for
like a normal person like he's been fined over one
hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's like one hundred bucks US or no, that's like
two years. No, I think one hundred.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think she's talking about how much it affects. Oh,
we get fined, I think anna, So figure figure, you know,
sixty thousand dollars a year. Okay, you're a person making
sixty thousand dollar dollars a year or seventy thousand dollars
a year. I would say that that's like getting that's
like getting fined five hundred to one thousand dollars probably,
That's what I'm saying. So it's a it's a car payment,
(05:13):
or it's a it's a or a mortgage or an
apartment rent payment or something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But if we let a curse work go off on air,
say I say something crazy, how much you know how
much that find is? That's what I'm about to ask you.
If we don't hit the dumb button in time? How
much is how much money? Is that triple digits? That's
ah my god? Yeah, And it used to be back
in the day.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So when I got into radio when I was eighteen
years old and I'm fifty five right now, when I
got into radio. You didn't have to pay those fines.
The radio station company had to pay those fines. And
then they switched the rules on that. I don't know
when it was, but they switched the rules on that
that they said that the FCC felt like people weren't
(05:55):
paying their fines, like coward Stern was getting away with
not having to pay fines because you know, or whoever
the company was that he was working for at the time,
CBS was paying the fines for him. So then they
made the rules you had to actually pay the personal
fine like you personally. Yep. So you so you get
do you have a farm or so? So you have
(06:19):
you had. There's a thing that you have to be
fined by the company too, so you have to actually pay.
I don't think I have to pay the whole thing,
but you have to get paid some of the other things.
I need a payment plan that's well, just like Ford credits,
not going to get paid for that f one fifty
in the parking lot, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I would cry, I need you all on these numb
buttons expeditiously.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, But what would you do, Kevin? Here's the deal.
What would you do? Because I've had bill collectors come
after me, and they always like disguise themselves. What would
you do if all of a sudden, the FCC bill
collectors are following you out to the parking lot here
in Eastern Market to get their money.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm gonna go to Steve and just get another car.
Keep him guessing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm gonna call him a geb at the front door
or security guard, and I'm gonna say tell him I'm
not here, and then let me out the back door.
My favorite bill collector story ever for you guys. I
owed money to j CP j C. Penny call JCP
at the time, it was legit j C. Penny. I
owed on a credit card, and they were calling my
(07:24):
house so much that Chelsea would always have to answer
the phone, to the point that I literally could not
answer the phone. Wow, at my own house. It was
when you had a home phone. You had a cell
phone too, but they didn't have my cell phone number,
and they would call the house. And Chelsea was finally
fed up with it. She turned me into the bill collector.
He's right here and he doesn't want to talk to you.
(07:45):
What did you get from J C. Fiddy's honestly, probably
a pair of Corduroys. It was like not even, but
it was not even a big bill. Yeah, text, you
don't have to call textor Chelsea Elsea, it's we do
that too much for her. But I it was probably
like a two hundred and fifty dollars missed payment or something.
(08:08):
I had no money. We've got married with we had
a baby right away. We could barely afford the freaking
you know, baby food from Gerbers. But it was one
of those situations. Though, I'm not gonna lie to you.
If you're a bill collector, call you for sure. They
own my ass right now. So when a bill collector
calls you, what do they say? I don't answer. I
don't answer. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Sometimes, like if there's a phone number that pops up
on my cell phone and it's not saved, I'm not answering,
so they don't even get the chance. And now with
the ability to read voicemails while there's while they're like
leaving them, I'm never answering.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
OK, I'll get to you when I get it. You
don't have to call me.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I know I owe you, Mojo. I owned the Schwan's
person money one time. Oh really, my mom and they
knew where we lived, so there was Swan. Swans is
like a delivery of food. Okay, so it's just like
a big truck truck.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, the guy would come to drop off like like
ice cream and stuff. They come to our house with
just looking for the bill. And Zach, the Schwan's guy,
didn't turn it into the credit company. He actually personally
was coming. The Schwans guy wanted to beat your ass. Yeah,
that's a different level. I love it. Could you imagine
(09:19):
that all of a sudden, little Zach answers the door
and San man, my mom's not home right now. Oh
my god. You ain't living until you owe a bill collector,
and the bill collector comes after you. And you know
what's funny about these the bill collectors. I bet you
the bill collector guys or some little guy in a room,
(09:42):
you know. And I'm collecting for serious satellite radio. You
haven't paid your bill in a while. What's going on?
How you doing? Melissa?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I was just gonna mention Kevin because he mentioned about
a firm and Carl and I was like, don't forget
about after pay.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I need all three of them. Hey, have you ever
had a bi collector come after you, Melissa.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I have not, but my sister did because she did
like a debt consolidation loan thing, and she was saying
it was the worst thing ever. She didn't answer them,
though she never answered them.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You know what, it's always the sister that has somebody
coming after him. My poor sister had to Pat had
to fight the bill collectors for me and and and
I felt so bad for her and Chelsea. You know,
I said to Pat one time Pack had a phone
call because that was her phone, the phone I lived
with Ann Pat before you know, I got married. And
Pat answered the phone, Hello, like is this Tom?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So aw you doing? And my my sister, Patt knew
all the lingo too. This is Tom. Please stop calling me,
you know what I mean? Like she do all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
The guy would go, yeah, sorry, I was gonna say,
my sister and I our phone numbers are very similar,
like our last four digits are off by like two numbers.
They were calling me or so I was calling my
sister to the point where I was like, call these
people back. They keep calling me and it's not even me.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Now, I'm telling you my family would turn me in
right away. You should just turn her ass in. Yeah,
where's she going to be tomorrow? I'll tell you where.
What's up Teresa? How you doing? Hi?
Speaker 5 (11:16):

And so what do you do?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Ron?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Are you hiding? Are you hiding from him? Or are
you letting them go to voicemail like cav was talking.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
About all let them go to voicemail? Or sometimes when
I do answer, I'll just disguise my voice for a
minute and then typically they'll they'll ask like, hey, is
Ron there. I'll give a little random name and then
they just usually hang up. What they'll call back like
two weeks later.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Let me hear you disguise n.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
I had a collection company called me and they used
like a demon voice, and he would say, you owe
us money and if you don't pay, we're gonna have
the collection agency come after you. And he said, it's
such a demonic voice. My daughter, she must have been
about four or five. She started crying because she thought
somebody was after us at the time.

Yeah, and she was. She was terrified, but the voice
scared her so badly. Oh that's fun. Made my baby cry.
You know what we need to do. This is how
we need to pay any unpaid clients that advertise on
this radio station. We're gonna have a demonic voice call
up there. U O us money, pastor we ran your
(15:34):
ads last night and you didn't pay. Uh. I remember
one time in my career, a sales rep asked me
to call the client that was they were like late
two years or whatever on a payment for years or
something like. It was probably long. No, they were late,
and the sales rep had to like give back their
commission money. And the person was somebody that I knew
(15:57):
that was a friend of mine. And so what I
did was they wouldn't take their calls. So I called.
I pick up the phone. They call up and I
won't say the guy's name. Anybody was a good buddy
at the time, and I said, hey, man, what's going on.
He's like, oh, nothing, we should grab lunch. I go, yeah,

iHeart sales.
Although the Lions did not win last week, but they

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Okay, first of all, Juju needed his asthma.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Let's just let's just let's just go there.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Number one I have specifically really needs.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I think he swears like right around here. So hold

I So there are those people though. It's kind of
like what we talked about earlier this morning about the

collectors are following you out to the parking lot here
in Eastern Market to get their money.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm gonna go to Steve and just get another car.
Keep him guessing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm gonna call him a geb at the front door
or security guard, and I'm gonna say tell him I'm
not here, and then let me out the back door.
My favorite bill collector story ever for you guys. I
owed money to j CP j C. Penny call JCP
at the time, it was legit j C. Penny. I
owed on a credit card, and they were calling my
(07:24):
house so much that Chelsea would always have to answer
the phone, to the point that I literally could not
answer the phone. Wow, at my own house. It was
when you had a home phone. You had a cell
phone too, but they didn't have my cell phone number,
and they would call the house. And Chelsea was finally
fed up with it. She turned me into the bill collector.
He's right here and he doesn't want to talk to you.
(07:45):
What did you get from J C. Fiddy's honestly, probably
a pair of Corduroys. It was like not even, but
it was not even a big bill. Yeah, text, you
don't have to call textor Chelsea Elsea, it's we do
that too much for her. But I it was probably
like a two hundred and fifty dollars missed payment or something.
(08:08):
I had no money. We've got married with we had
a baby right away. We could barely afford the freaking
you know, baby food from Gerbers. But it was one
of those situations. Though, I'm not gonna lie to you.
If you're a bill collector, call you for sure. They
own my ass right now. So when a bill collector
calls you, what do they say? I don't answer. I
don't answer. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Sometimes, like if there's a phone number that pops up
on my cell phone and it's not saved, I'm not answering,
so they don't even get the chance. And now with
the ability to read voicemails while there's while they're like
leaving them, I'm never answering.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
OK, I'll get to you when I get it. You
don't have to call me.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I know I owe you, Mojo. I owned the Schwan's
person money one time. Oh really, my mom and they
knew where we lived, so there was Swan. Swans is
like a delivery of food. Okay, so it's just like
a big truck truck.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, the guy would come to drop off like like
ice cream and stuff. They come to our house with
just looking for the bill. And Zach, the Schwan's guy,
didn't turn it into the credit company. He actually personally
was coming. The Schwans guy wanted to beat your ass. Yeah,
that's a different level. I love it. Could you imagine
(09:19):
that all of a sudden, little Zach answers the door
and San man, my mom's not home right now. Oh
my god. You ain't living until you owe a bill collector,
and the bill collector comes after you. And you know
what's funny about these the bill collectors. I bet you
the bill collector guys or some little guy in a room,
(09:42):
you know. And I'm collecting for serious satellite radio. You
haven't paid your bill in a while. What's going on?
How you doing? Melissa?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I was just gonna mention Kevin because he mentioned about
a firm and Carl and I was like, don't forget
about after pay.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I need all three of them. Hey, have you ever
had a bi collector come after you, Melissa.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I have not, but my sister did because she did
like a debt consolidation loan thing, and she was saying
it was the worst thing ever. She didn't answer them,
though she never answered them.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You know what, it's always the sister that has somebody
coming after him. My poor sister had to Pat had
to fight the bill collectors for me and and and
I felt so bad for her and Chelsea. You know,
I said to Pat one time Pack had a phone
call because that was her phone, the phone I lived
with Ann Pat before you know, I got married. And
Pat answered the phone, Hello, like is this Tom?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So aw you doing? And my my sister, Patt knew
all the lingo too. This is Tom. Please stop calling me,
you know what I mean? Like she do all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
The guy would go, yeah, sorry, I was gonna say,
my sister and I our phone numbers are very similar,
like our last four digits are off by like two numbers.
They were calling me or so I was calling my
sister to the point where I was like, call these
people back. They keep calling me and it's not even me.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Now, I'm telling you my family would turn me in
right away. You should just turn her ass in. Yeah,
where's she going to be tomorrow? I'll tell you where.
What's up Teresa? How you doing? Hi?

you letting them go to voicemail like cav was talking.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
About all let them go to voicemail? Or sometimes when
I do answer, I'll just disguise my voice for a
minute and then typically they'll they'll ask like, hey, is
Ron there. I'll give a little random name and then
they just usually hang up. What they'll call back like
two weeks later.

did was they wouldn't take their calls. So I called.

at the time, and I said, hey, man, what's going on.
