the most important beefs and fights of the twenty first century.
We'll get back into it right after this.

It's time to go into the schedule Worburg Machine.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
For those are the audience who don't know, would you
guys give a description and tell the Metroplex a little
bit about Gina Miller and who she is.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Gina Miller is. She's a former sports reporter.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I think she was at WFACBS eleven and she left
that and went to go work for FC Dallas and
she's basically DFW Sports Media Royalty. She's a class act.
Anything she touches turns to gold. FC Dallas is so
fortunate to have her, and she's a legend. Yeah, I
(00:57):
can't add anything to that. He nailed it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
She is someone that Ben and I I have worked
with and actually look up to.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
She is a beast.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Okay, yeah, she's great. But I just wanted to set
that up. So we had Gina on the show back
in twenty twenty one. And while she's on hold about
to come on the show. Were You're also going to
hear the voice of our good friend Jeff Cavanaugh on
this clip as well, I think.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
And we were talking about something and.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We were about to bring Gina live on the air,
so she's on hold, and usually when you're on hold,
you can kind of hear what's going on on the
radio station. This is something that happened four years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Ben need hopes.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Sorry from the beginning, Man, it's a good setup.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't want to go on now we're good.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I had too many slow ones in that one, I
think for for Ben's taste, I think Ben needed more.
But he was very high on the imagined dragons and
the last one and imagine dragon, these nuts on your face.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (01:55):

the classiest, loveliest people in the history of DFW media.
Speaker 2 (02:03):

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Pause from the content that was happening, and just to
remind her, as you're out there celebrating the fourth be
careful with fireworks.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
So she was not about to take the bay and
play into that mess.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I later followed up with her and apologized, and she
was unaware of whatever aired. It was like then I
made it worse by pointing out something that she did not.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
No, how did you start that?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Ben?
Speaker 4 (03:05):

at one time had to do a long apology to
Del Harris when he was an assistant coach for the
MAVs and he had no idea what we were talking
about as we waited fifteen minutes on the apology. He
was so confused by old who was it that demanded
that apology happen?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Was it Cuban? It's no, it's Keith Grant. He didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He just said, you guys need to apologize to a
lot of people. Till we started seeking the people out.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
One by one. Yes, and man, we stood there.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Del Harris was talking to a writer from the LA
paper that covered him when he was the coach of Acres,
and for fifteen minutes, Del Harris was telling a story
about how many cranes there are in China.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, and I mean it was insane.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Me and Ben were like just standing there patiently, like God,
I can't believe how terrible the story is that he's telling.
