Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio. It is August seventh,
twenty twenty five. We may be having small technical difficulties.
I'm not sure, but we're gonna push through. If it's
breaking up, please call into phone number five zero two
five seven seventy nine hundreds and let Shannon know. But

(00:21):
we're going to go with it. It was just we're
having a hard time pre show. That's all. So welcome
back to the sports radio. This is Sports Talk seven
to ninety KRD. We've got Shannon the dude behind the glass.
Shannon is my youngest son. Called in. Yet we have
Anthony yet or not? He's there. Anthony, Welcome to the show.
How are you. I'm doing good.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
How are you this morning?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Just maybe having a little small technical difficulty, but I
think we're fine. Anthony, I'm doing great. I mean I'm up.
I told you I stick my finger underneath my nostrils
to make sure when I said okay, I'm all good,
I've got another chance. So I'm great. That's all Anthony.
At my age, I'm great. So here's what we've got,
and there's nothing else to talk about, really, and truly,

(01:09):
there's only one thing to talk about. The First day
of school, the first day of school, Anthony, can you
believe that justin county school systems are back in? Hardin
County's back in, Spencer County's back in. There's one other
I know that's back in also. I just didn't write
it down. I'm sorry you. Oh, but schools are back,
the buses are out, kids are waiting at the bus stop.

(01:33):
I mean, it's an exciting time, Anthony. I'm gonna ask
you and then I'm gonna tell people that I'm old.
So it's a huge difference between school now and school
of and nightwent. But Anthony, can you remember your first
day of school? What year was your first day that
you remember?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh? I have to say, I feel like I really
started to remember the first day of school. I remember
third grade previous. I'd say that was probably the last one.
It was first and second grade was kind of a
blur for me. Third grade I remember. I remember pretty
well third grade at all.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I would say, Okay, where were you in the third grade?
I forgot? We moved so much to Anthony. Where were
you in the third grade? Were we in Charlotte? Were
we in Greensboro? Were we Worboro?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I was so I was at Jesse Wharton in third grade.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's right, Jesse Wharton.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Our draft, a little nap, That was a draft.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
It was a draft. I remember you when you finally
got it. When Frank left two years before you did,
you said, I'm never going to get out of elementary school.
It seemed like a long time, Anthony.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
It was so long. Kindergarten through fifth grade was the
longest time in my life, all.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Right, Jesse Warden. It was a good school, though. I'm
gonna tell you it's so funny. You said third grade.
That's what I remember. I don't know if it was
the reject of the third grade because I had to
renew the third grade any but I remember the third grade, Anthony.
And all I remember is that I wouldn't stop talking

(03:16):
in class. And back then, Anthony, the teachers would spank
your hand with a ruler. I mean I had callouses, Anthony.
It's just all there was doing. I just I was
a social butterfly. I was always in trouble, period, point blank.
I would not stop talking. I mean my hand got
whipped so much. Boy boy boy, I was just Anthony.
I just was bad, period. I just thought school was

(03:41):
to conjugate and socialize and have fun. And if you
don't remember, Anthony, we used to make those paper footballs
the triangles and we would kick the paper football's Anthony.
I probably did that from the third grade to the
eleventh grade. I'm being honest with you. I was an
expert at field goal kicking. I could kick him across
the classroom. I was bad ante. I mean, I just

(04:03):
I told you all that. It is what it is.
I was not the best student in the world. That's
all there was to it. But I remember the third
grade and I'll never forget the end of the third grade.
We are moving from Newburgh to Prospect, Anthony, and where
your grandmother used to live, where uncle Carry lives now,
and my dad going in and they're saying, mister Eaves,

(04:28):
your son did not complete the work. What do he
want us to do? And he was very simple. He says,
did he finish the curriculum? They were like no, And
I remember my dad said curriculum, Anthony. They said nope.
He says, got to redo it. And from the third grade, Anthony,
I go back to the third grade at Norton Elementary
and that's when I started taking school a little bit

(04:48):
more seriously. I was like, this is crazy. I got
to redo it. So, Anthony, think about school taking a
long time. I had to redo the third grade, so
I'll never forget the grad It's burned into my brain.
But first day of school for all the kids. Let's
make sure everyone understands leave earlier for work. There's buses out,

(05:12):
parents are driving their kids, and I want to ask
you a question. Did you catch the bus to Jesse
Wharton Er? Did your mother drive you?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
The fact that you're asking me that question just let
me know how much you remember. You really think you
all were taking me to school when there was a
bus available.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
No, I don't. That's why I asked you. No, I
wanted people to understand that. Thank you, Anthony for telling
the truth. Look, no, Look was without it that privilege.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Privilege? I wouldn't say that privilege. I stand there in
the corner, in the rain, fleeting snow, catching that bus
the only time Mama took me to school. So I
got yelled at because I missed it.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yes, exactly, no, without it that I just wanted you
to tell the parents. I'm so glad. No, we had
jump on top, and I'm so glad. I just wanted
you to. I'm so glad you told the truth. No,
you caught that bus, Anthony. I walked to school first
through third grade. I had no idea. I'm just telling
you the truth, Anthony. My day across the fair exactly and.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Walked to school.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
They had transportation, I swear to you, No, they did not, Anthony.
First through third grade, we walked to Newburgh Elementary and
that was probably, honestly. And I'm gonna take you to
my home. So then i'll take you to Newburgh. The
old Newburgh has been torn down, Anthony. It's now in
middle school. But i'll show you the location. I'm gonna say, Anthony,
half a mile, but I'll let you tell me. We'll

(06:52):
do it this weekend. I'll let you tell me how
far you think it is. But at least a half
a mile back and forth day, rain, sleet ers, snow, Anthony.
We had the little boots when it was raining, and
the umbrella. We had the big coach in the winter. Anthony.
I walked first through third Maybe that's why I was bad.
I don't know. When we moved to Prospect, Norton Elementary

(07:14):
was too far from We lived on US forty two Anthony.
You know where Norton is, that's probably a three mile drive.
That's the first time I caught the bus at the
front of the neighborhood and I was like, what is
going on? This big yellow bus pulled up and I'm
sitting there waiting and everybody got on. I'm like, I
guess I'm supposed to get on, Anthony. That was the
first time I rode a bus. And that was my

(07:36):
repeat year, the third grade, my repeat year, so yep, Anthony.
And then after that I rode the bus. And one
day I stayed after school, Anthony. This is this lets
you know the different times I stayed after school. Wasn't
supposed to, Anthony, but there was an event going on.
I wanted to stay, and I stayed. And I was
probably in the sixth grade. I was old, and I

(07:57):
remember calling and Mom said you'll need to come and
pick me up, and mother, your grandmother living upstairs, told
me walk home, Anthony. I walked all the way to
Green Springs and then a friend saw me. One of
the tailors picked me up and brought me home. But
I was halfway home. I was walking period. He said, well,
you missed a bus. Walk home. That's the truth, Anthony.

(08:18):
So the reason why I'm saying this, and I had
you talk about it, and I'm glad you did. We're
going to get to break in a second and come
back because you have to leave early. I'm going to
let you hit them at the National News. Is this
for parents? This bus service that we all think that
our kids should be bussed everywhere? Yes, I know they

(08:40):
started this, but it was wrong and somebody's gonna have
to stop it. So hopefully, I'm hoping doctor Brian year
would will eventually see this calamity that we have started here,
which started through bussing, which I understand completely the process
and the thought process of bussing. But now at this
time for all the parents to know, if you want

(09:02):
your kids to go to a certain school, move in
the district. I'm not worried about who plays where on
basketball teams, how they transfer when they play. All I say,
and all I would say to is moving the district,
that's all. If you want your kid to go to Ballot,
moving the Balot district, if you want them to go
to Central Shaine for the programs that they have there,

(09:23):
moving the Shiny district. Same thing with Pleasure Ridge Park Butler,
I don't care where, but all this you can choose
your school wherever it is, and our tax dollars have
to get it there. I don't know why people can't.
Some things are simple. It's not conservative, it's just factual.
It's mathematics. If that's what you want and it's important

(09:45):
to you move. So that's why we've got so many
buses out here again, we're going to see them on television.
Marty Polio called wh E L L Anthony over the
calamity of the last two. I got it, I understand it,
and he's the superintendent. He has to take it. He does.
I'm with that. I've been fired from numerous jobs from

(10:09):
the best record that Charlotte Hornet's ever had. I lost
my job to a North Carolina anti fired me after
eleven years, and I turned that program around and I did.
The bottom line is good decisions have to be made
with our money. So the forest bussing has stopped, but
now they're going to have to start to narrow in
and hone in where kids go to middle school, elementary school,

(10:32):
and high school. Parents movie where you want your kids
to go to school? Simple, flat dam fact second, make
the schools in your district the best that they can be,
demand certain things. I'm with that. Also, I understand tax base,
I understand the ptas. I don't want to try to
think I don't. Oh, I do. I understand the difference

(10:54):
in the money which has to be spoke about publicly,
which I understand, and I'm with you on those things.
But again, we've got kids going way too far, Anthony.
That's all. But it is the first day of school,
in an exciting day. We have to get our kids
back to community schooling. Anthony. I was bad, but I

(11:15):
never said a word back to a teacher in my life,
not one time. I'd have got my head knocked off,
period point blank. Not at Newburgh Elementary, African American based school,
and not at Norton Elementary, primarily a white school. I
knew the one rule that there was going to be

(11:35):
and that was the one. And I mean I'd have
got my head, as you well know, knocked off, period
point blank. So if we can get that aspect with
the parents too, parents driving your kids in, don't believe
your kids. They're not telling you the truth, period point blank.
Back your teachers and our grades may start to go up.

(11:58):
So first day of school. Do not drive around those
buses when those bus signs pull out and stop stop.
I mean, I see so many people, Honestly, I see
people out here in Prospect arrogant driving around the buses. Yes, Prospect.
So anyway, first day of SCOOPID and Just County school System.

(12:18):
Best of luck to all the teachers the administrators. You know,
we're always talking about our students. If we can get
our students one hundred percent to respect our teachers and administrators,
our schools would be a lot better. Just the fact,
just throwing it out there at your parents. So Anthony,
we're already at seventh oh seven eighteen Shinnon take us away.

(12:41):
When we come back, Anthony, you've got your segment. This
is E Sports Radio. We'll talk to you all in
a minute. Welcome back to Sports Radio seven twenty two.
Can't believe I said August the seventh, but it is Thursday,
one day away from the weekend. Tomorrow will be thank god,
it's fright, Anthony. I'm gonna throw it to you for

(13:02):
you have to run off the work. Half day's work
man half day pay Ranthony. Remember everyone knows.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Half half days work. That's that's not a different treatment. Okay,
because I have I have multiple responsibilities, because you know,
I'm not highly demanded right.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Now, there's nothing wrong with it. I tell everybody have
a side gig. When you're young, under forty, you should
have two jobs. You should have a job and you
should have your own business that you're growing. Always teach
your kids that always have a side gig. My dad

(13:37):
told me that a long time ago. You all don't
know what gig means. That's a job. Always have a
side job. Say any national news, what do we have
going on?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Then we got a lot going on. We keep on
forgetting to talk about it, even though we talk about
it every morning. We talk about Tyron Stoves handing out
bags out at the Louisville dirt Ball that just happened
on last week. And we always the conclusion of obviously
everyone knows that he's from Kentucky. The big decision on
where he's gonna go when that selection they comes around
Kentucky or U of L. And one of the big

(14:09):
things is it up in the air right now is
that he is a Nike athlete, which Kentucky U of
L happened to be Adidas, and I hate to say
it as as silly as it sounds, a lot of
schools will defer away from schools that are sponsored about
certain brands, even if that's not even their own brand sponsorship.
Some players just strictly don't like playing in Adidas. Some

(14:32):
players don't like playing an under armor, some players don't
like playing in Nike. You'd be surprised. And that's obviously
that makes a big decision for a lot of kids
in their school selections going forward. Because even when I
was in AAU, we played responsored by Adidas. This is
before Adidas had more players signed under them, they had
more shoe options at the time when I was there

(14:52):
is mainly just Derrick Rose because he was the only
shoe line with Adidas. Now you got a little more versatility.
But at the time, people will did this Adida school
or didas a U. I'm not gonna lie. I hated Adidas.
I was like, I hope I never have to play
Adida shoes ever again in my entire life.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Mm hmm, don't don't.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Don't don't ask Frank that Frank. Frank's career about got
ended in the Adidas he used to work. He used
to work out and kill himself in Adidas. So if
you asked him, if you're asking a guy like Frank,
would you want to come play at my school with
some Adida shoes, he might have had to think about it.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
He was clumsy shoes. It wasn't the shoes, Anthony, your
older brother was clumsy. But go ahead.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Is that bad?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Is that bad?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Ankle support?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
You got them Steph Curry angles.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
He needs ankle braces, tape hot.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
To absolutely coordination. He got it from his mother. He
didn't get it for me. He's uncoordinated. He could shoot, though, Anthony,
I loved Adidas. Were them in the National Championship Game
in nineteen eighty That's how long I have them in
my closet. I'm gonna weare them today. I love Adidas
All Stars, but I did when the Nike paid me.

(16:10):
I want people to understand when Nike paid me as
a pro, I wor Nike, Anthony. It's all about the
dollar in sports, It's all about the dollar. But right
now Stokes is he has a Nike contract, so we
have to wait and see him pulling for Louis Well, Antony,
I mean I'm pulling for Louis will have to wait.
Got Mark L. Brown? Can we pull up another coup?

(16:32):
Kentucky's after him though, Kansas, Oregon don't what You all
sleep on my man, Kyle Arkansas don't sleep on him?
So how good is he? Anthony, I don't know anything
about Tyren Stokes. Is he a good player?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
He's pretty good. He's versatile, obviously, he's pretty big. He's
about sixty eighty six nine. He's athletic, can support at
all three levels. He played in the ey eyb L
Curtain and actually watched a couple of their games. They
had him live on YouTube and I'll watched a few.
He was a double double machine. He led the ey
bill him for about seven games, averaging about twelve rebounds

(17:08):
the game I think six or seventeen points across the board.
So he was very solid and prost even outside of
his scoring, He's a good pass He draws two defenders
in a lot of the scenarios, so it was a
lot easier for his teammates and score. But he also
did play with the number one point guard in the
class of twenty twenty six, who actually signed the Missouri
over Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Oh got you well?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Good the left headed run kid, and I'm going blank
on his name. The players on the same team, Tyres Stokes.
He's going to Missouri next year. So Missouri is up
and coming with some players. So they got the number
one kid in the recruiting class next year, and he
averaged thirty in the ybl sarch.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, there's a lot of parody nows and the college
basketball is I mean, last year's tournament was fantastic. Last
year's football was fantastic. I enjoyed them. I don't care
what people say about the players are moving around. I
thought they were exciting years. And you can change the
direction of your program quickly. So good. What else do
we have? Congratulations to Stokes. I'll talk about him more

(18:08):
on another day. When we're talking about players from this
area doing well, I'm going to go all the way
back to the Randy Waddell Jimmy dan Connor days forward
and let people understand how good this area used to be.
But go ahead, and what else do we have? Yep?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Obviously, and then we also had I think they had
a closed indoor scrimmage for the Hoosiers yesterday, so they
opened their Puerto Rico exhibition for they played the university
at dbaiom On. They did win that game ninety eight
to forty seven. Their freshman forward Trent Sizzley did lead
all their scoring off the bench with twenty one points,
and then Sam Alexis added double digital production with ten

(18:43):
points as well for their first game gearing up for
the season, so it's a good win for him. They
did leave in second chance points twenty to three on
that end. And obviously it's early in the season, but
you still like to see wins like that. You like
to see good production from your young guys, then even
your veterans earlier on in the season, you know, I mean,
I know sometimes it's hard to basically judge on the
competition level, but all you can say sometimes is a

(19:04):
win is a win. Win is a win. Them as
they go. You can't be like, oh, they only won
by fifty, well, I mean, it's still a fifty point win.
I don't know why you hating on them.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
So yes, I'm gonna give the win.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm giving everybody their due diligence until I'd say, honestly,
more so the regular season non conference in basketball, I
will say for a lot of the bigger schools is
a little bit tougher. There's a few schools, like in
non conference non conference football, to have tough schedules like Texas,
Ohio State coming out Week one, number one and two
by far, probably the National Championship game in Week one,

(19:36):
So everybody's excited about that. But you'll have other teams
that are in the top twenty that play a team's
full of walk ons for five weeks and then they
go into conference.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
We we're gonna get into that, Anthony. I'm gonna talk
about that when you leave today, and I want people
to understand your conference schedule. You do not select a
lot of people get upset about it, but it's just
the fact they're given to you. Some years are favorable,
some are not. I mean some people, I've got some
teams that have super tough schedules this year. I've got
which college football team has the toughest schedule in twenty

(20:07):
twenty five, LSU Oklahoma Wisconsin lead the way, Anthony, LSU leads,
So I mean, they just it is the luck of
the drone sometimes, but you have to take advantage of
those challenges. So yeah, I can I can't wait. I'm
happy for coach Deverisee at Indiana. I want them to
be good. We've got PK's doing a great job. Polk's
doing a great job. I want Indiana back Anthony so

(20:30):
that it's like it used to be. The Triangle. Anthony
College basketball ran through this area. I you Louisville and Kentucky.
Kentucky seventy eight, Louisville eighty, Indiana eighty one, Louisville eighty six.
I mean Indiana. It's smart. I mean Anthony had ran
through the triangle, and I think it's the way it's

(20:51):
supposed to be. You know, I'm a boy from Kentucky,
so it is what it is. So we're already at
seven thirty. You've got to get ready to get out
of here. Don't you gonna leave me?

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, it's about time for me to hit the road.
And I got it. I got responsibilities.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Busy week, your usual.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
So busy that works, But I'm I'm needed there and
I got to help my coworkers, so I got to
be there early and on time.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
There you go, get on out, young fellows, have a
safe day. Be safe. There's buses out there. It's seven thirty.
This is Eve Sports Radio for numbers, five zero two
five seventy nine hundred. I'm not gonna tell you what
we're gonna talk about when we come back from breaking,
but we're gonna have some discussion. Talk to you all
in a minute. Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio. Seven
thirty four. First day of school. That's an exciting time.

(21:39):
You've got first graders on their first opportunities to walk
in school doors. I love the way that they're greeting
the kids now as they come in with the high fives,
making them feel welcome. A lot of kids, it's the
first time, if they did not go to kindergarten, that
they're going into a school building so large a lot
of kids, it's intimidating, and we have to make sure

(21:59):
we nurture that. Secondly, first day of school, what are
the responsibilities and accountabilities of our parents. And here's the deal.
We always want to grade the kids we grade. We
love grades in America. I so do. I I understand.

(22:23):
I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It's just all
that I know. There are other systems, but it's all
that I know. So I'm ignorant to the fact that
it's all that I know. I think we need to
get a grading system on our parents. We understand that
there's a no phone ban use. They can take their

(22:44):
phones to school, they just can't have them out and
use them during class. I'm not even sure. Some of
the school systems said that they can't have them in
the hallways, okay, which I'm one hundred percent with. Have
a hard enough time reading and writing as it is,
and we all know it. Every parent knows that. So

(23:08):
I don't know what the issue is with getting our
kids to understand the importance of going to school. A
lot of thought processes school year round, shorter days but
all year round, instead of sending home homework. If the
parents are ill prepared to help the kids, you're just

(23:30):
setting the kids further and further behind because if they're
not getting the support that they need from the house.
And let's just be honest with this, some or not,
we do not want to ever be honest. It's like
those days have ended. Then we end up in this situation.
So I've never met Brian Nearwood. I'm going to I'm

(23:52):
going to set up appointment with him, and he's busy now,
so he doesn't need to be talking to Jerry Eases
and people like myself. He's busy doing what he has
to do. But before it's over, I will sit down
with him John Marshall, I know him really well. Second
in charge. It'sficaty school system will make sure that that happens.
But I just want to throw out to all the

(24:12):
parents taking their kids. Should we grade you? That's the key.
If we can get our parents truly involved at a
high level, a really high level, it would trickle down
to the kids. But no parents want to be graded.

(24:32):
Oh if I told if you had a principal stand
up the first day of school and said every parent
had to show up with their kid and said that
we're going to give the parents a grade, you would
see our community go crazy. I just wanted to talk
to you all for a moment, truthful, adult to adult.
Oh you'd hear the gymnasium, the cafeterias, the auditoriums go crazy.

(24:57):
The parents would tell you, no way, you can't grade
up us. But the first thing that happens, parents is
that when we grade your kids, you're in the principal's
office upset about the grade. When you're right, they shouldn't
be grading the kids. They should be grading the parents.
I've had ladies calling to my show. Don't say we

(25:19):
have bad kids. I'm with that. We don't wrong. We
do have some bad kids, not many, though. We have
more bad parents and we have bad kids. So first
day of school, we're here. All the issues that we're
going to see on the buses, the issues when I
have parents beating up bus drivers, Come on, guys and women.

(25:46):
The bottom line is, until we truly get our discipline
back in our school system, that's where it should be
the toughest. I mean honest with you. Not two o'clock
at night Bartstown Road. Okay, I'm talking about in the
school system, when everybody is sober, when everybody's there pushing
supposedly in the right direction, where everyone is supposed to

(26:08):
be driving this bus, towards the success of the kids.
If I came great to parents, then dang, they shouldn't
be in the school system. I'm gonna be straight with you.
My dad, who's no nonsense. I had a hard time
reading early on after school was over in Newburgh, and

(26:30):
a small little table in the kitchen when mom was cooking,
I'd have to read all the green eggs and ham
over and over and over again, and she would correct me.
Everyone remembers those books. Don't think that you have in parents,
you have you know, you have all the mathematics, which

(26:50):
I didn't have much more problem with. I was okay mathematics,
but just the reading part early on was an issue,
really was. That's why I had to be held back
to the or great not a problem and you have
to continue trying and continue trying, so I tell parents today.
Still today, I make myself read thirty to forty five

(27:11):
minutes a day. That's why I buy the carrier. Guys,
I don't care it's Dale News. It's just the practice.
I don't care it's Dale News. I know it's Dale News.
I know I can get a snapshot of something on
the internet, but it's only a snapshot to make yourself
sit down and read the article and read the book,
to make you concentrate, focus on what it says. It's important.

(27:33):
So parents, if I was Brian Yarwood last week, I
would have been trying to have seminars with the parents
and first thing I would have liked to see the
ones that's shown up. So that may mean that sometimes
I have to go to the parents summer working, I'm standing.
That means that some of the school system, my teachers,
instead of having in house come to the classroom, there

(27:56):
should be time for the teachers to go to the
home sit down with the parents and the kids, saying
this is what they need to work on. Maybe we
should limit and shorten our days so that our teachers
could get out in the community. That's why it's important
to have community schools to where it's in a radius
that you can get to a lot of thought processes.
I'm just throwing out there for you all because I'm

(28:19):
telling you across the board, our school system is not
doing well. And all we do is critique the administrators,
the teachers, the student help, the teachers, assistants. Oh, we
wear them out. All parents, we stand up and drive
them crazy. The grade should start with you. My dad

(28:42):
was not upset with Newburgh Elementary School when they told
him I didn't finish the curriculum. He was not. He
went up to the teacher. We got in that car
and he said we've got to get to work, and
he was going to make sure that I took it seriously,
and he did. That's all. It was a reflection on

(29:04):
my dad. He took it seriously and like I told
you all, I'm being honest with you now. I was,
and my dad was brilliant, My sister and brother brilliant, guys.
I'm just telling you Fio chemistry knew all of it
in the sixties, knew it all period, point blank. Rand
Hugh Manna William Cherry hired my dad in the sixties.

(29:26):
Just being straight with you. So for my dad was
like when I used to look at Anthony and Frankie
athletically saying, God, you don't get it naturally. Well, my
dad was looking at me, don't you get it naturally?
This is easy. It wasn't easy for me. But he
did not crucify the school at all. Point blank. He said,

(29:47):
we have to get to work so doctor Brian yerewould
get enough guts to have a seminar until the parents.
We want to grade you if you all don't help
us with the success of your kids, period point blank.
That's the only way this turns around. Well you will.

(30:07):
You're going to see on the news, and this is
from Lively Shyly to thirty eighth and Broadway to Prospect.
You're going to hear parents talking about what their kids
can wear and what the hair looks like, what they
can have their ear pods in or not, if they
can talk on their phone when they're going to talk

(30:28):
about their education period. Point let me say this to
you again. What they can wear, can they have their
ear pods in or out? What their hair? News are
you leave them alone? That's their expression. Can we express
something through our education process to where we're getting smarter

(30:53):
not dumber? Or is that a little too hard? So
the parents still flecked with all the garbage, just just
adult talk, just thinking out loud. That's all just thinking
out loud. So now we're at seven forty four, we're

(31:14):
gonna go to break again. We've thrown out some of
the issues. That's why community schools are important. Teachers could
get to the homes of the parents with the kids
so that we could have more communication and dialogue that
would help push the kids along. Got me, which means
grading the parents. I'm telling you all parents and we're

(31:37):
the worst. We stink. But see, parents have never coached.
Parents have never been in team sports where you have
to pull together, you have to do it right because
you got a critique every aspect. That's why people are
so nervous when they hire a new Kenny Payne, can
he run an organization. He never had an opportunity to
run an organization. I agree with That got me doctor Yearwood,

(32:00):
fourth largest school district in Missouri Texas schools for twenty
two years he has been a superintendent. So yes, that's
why we're always concerned when it comes to our sports program.
We want to make sure that they can do the
things that they have to do well. All my teachers,
your coaches, and your students are your team. And if

(32:25):
your parents aren't helping pull in the direction with your
team like they would a sporting event, then they're not
helping you. So after the break, we're going to discuss
a little bit more about where we are and what
we have to do with our school system for our kids,
because I'm going to tell you I get so tired
of people telling me about private and public schools. We're

(32:48):
going to discuss that after the break. This is the
Sports Radio. Don't turn me off. Stay on with me
on numbers five zero, two, five, seven, one, seventy nine hundred. Welcome,
Welcome back to Anish sports radio. It is seven nine guys,
it's August the seventh, and it is the first day
of school. That's all that I can say. I just

(33:11):
want to continue on the thought of what's transpiring and
what's going on, and why our school systems are going
in the wrong direction, and they are absolutely and we
always like to throw out all the things Democratic cities,
Republican states, we're still under part educating our youth. So

(33:33):
the first point I want to throw out at parents
is I tell everyone the bhysic success I ever had
was redoing the third grade. Let me say that to
you all again. That was the best success story I
ever had, was redoing the third grade. Let me say

(33:56):
that to you one more time, because a lot of
people don't understand that you have to redo it exactly.
That is what put me on the trajectory to where
I am today. Let me tell you what it did.
It embarrassed me, Yes it did. A lot of parents
will say and tell you you shouldn't embarrass my kids.
They'll tell you that and heartbeat, they'll tell you that

(34:18):
you shouldn't embarrass my kids. What you'll see on television today,
people are going to be upset about which bus stop
it didn't stop the right place when their kids are
going five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten miles away from
their homes, and they're going to be upset with the system.
The system, the system. It's always easy to hit the system.

(34:38):
Always you have to get back to when they hire
a new coach, which is what we've done, and the
new coach has to come in and put in a
new system. Everybody has to pull in the right direction.
So what does that coach do He fires all the staff. Well,

(34:58):
you can't do that just because for all the teachers.
But truly we should follow the all the parents. That's
where the that grade should come into play and it
should work its way back parents, administrators, teachers, students. If
the parents took school seriously, we wouldn't have kids wrestling

(35:20):
and arguing with teachers in the classroom about putting the
phones down. We wouldn't. Come on, guys, this is a joke.
The things you're going to hear parents, and I'm telling
you today because they're going to be on the news
today at six five thirty, four thirty eleven tomorrow. Just
listen to the comments you're going to hear from the parents,

(35:40):
and the last thing they're gonna be talking about is
a success in the classroom, telling you it's a joke.
It's embarrassing parents. We're a bunch. Honestly, I hate to
tell you, Frankie, to tell you we're a bunch of
class clowns. I want people to listen to the news
today and don't sit there and go, Brian yourwood boy,

(36:02):
he started off on a bad day. Don't do that.
Sit back and listen to what you're gonna hear come
out of their parents' mouths. That's all I want you
to do. Call me tomorrow and tell me if you
disagree with me, sit there with a pure heart and
a pure spirit and see what they say, and then
go boy boy boy. Their kids truly have a chance.

(36:24):
If that's the thought process of a parent, they don't.
So that we've defined that. Repeating the third grade is
the reason why I live in Prospect. Me and dollar
homes over five cars can do pretty much what I
want to do, and I want to do it pretty
much as long as God gives me my old pretty much.

(36:44):
And my largest success was being held back in the
third grade at Newburgh Elementary School. That's why I love Newburgh, y'all.
Don't hear me say anything negative about Newburgh. I love
that community. Love it dearly visit biggest success story. It
has been held back. Next step, I want to talk

(37:05):
to you all, especially all my east Enders, about the
discrepancy of money. Busy happened because the money was not
divvied up properly. Tax base means things. Companies are in
certain areas, they are larger tax bases. That means their
school system has more. They leveled it out. Let me

(37:25):
just make this real quickly. They try to level it out.
The lower zip codes some of the revenue from their
zip codes got me. They did. Sounds like a great idea,
it was. Let me tell you what happened. Then the
state legislature said, hey, if that's true, then the lower
zip codes in the state should get some of the

(37:46):
Johnson County revenue. And they do, which leads me to
this thought process of schools free. All parents should have
to go to a simmer for school starts justin county
and doctor herew and should tell them, I'll sue. If
you live in an apartment, you're paying property tax in

(38:08):
your rent. If you have your home, you're paying property tax.
Have your business your parent property tax, you're paying sales tax.
You're paying into this system. This school is not free.
I hate that. I'm telling you it's comical. I was
in Atman Greensborough and all the kids told me this
school is free. When I asked them, what's the difference
between private and public? Free? They pay? I like share,

(38:30):
get my head going, and that's what we say. All
schools are private schools. All schools should have the stringent
rules of private schools, every one of them. If the
parents don't want to meet them, then teach kids, period
point blank. But when testing time, they have to be
fairly on board in life. Teach kids. If your student

(38:55):
that when the teacher says put your book down, do X,
turn your phone off? Do teach them that? Then take them,
take them, don't send them and disrupt kids that are
going to try. The ones that are going to try
do not have been tested and afftitude and don't want
to stand up and tell other students to shut up,

(39:16):
so they're effective. And it's funny. Class clowns like jer
Eves when I went into these class and body of
a nose rent and a clown. Oh, the class clown
loves to interrupt everybody. But the student that wants to
get it done doesn't have the to say shut them
and sit down. He doesn't want to have to deal
with the blowback. The teachers don't have to deal with

(39:37):
the blowback. Things. Shit, I got one minute, I need
one hour. They don't want to deal with the blowback,
so administrators deal with the kids. They don't want to
follow the rules. The most stringent rules should be at
elementary schools, middle schools, high schools. That's where I'm telling
you the most stringent rules should be. People should have

(40:01):
to follow the rules, and the parents through the mold.
So this is the sports radio is seventy fifty six.
Do me a favor. Listen to what you're gonna hear
on television and on the radio the next three days
from these parents when they start complaining about different things.
This is the sports radio. I'd love to grade the parents.

(40:22):
Talk to you all tomorrow. We'll be back in sports.
Love you, Bye bye,
