Trump Is Making Our Cities Safe Again

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Carjackings are down eighty three percent. That's not good news
for Uber and Lyft because so many people were talking
about they would just take those my guests at five
point thirty. That's what she said she was having to
do there in DC where she resides. Online security reporter
Washington examiner Anna Kara Telly's gonna join us about her

(00:22):
DC crime story. But if carjackings are dropping like that, man,
you might be able to drive your own car. Wow.
Robberies are down forty six percent. I guess it was
that simple mister President bring it nationwide. Knew some he

(00:45):
did this once. You remember when the Chinese delegation came over.
President she he didn't want him driving down the streets
of San Francisco looking the way it looked. He gave
that a rub a dub scrub dub clean up job,
didn't he. Well, that's what President Trump's doing in the
District of Columbia, and they want to say it's not

(01:09):
a crime problem. I had the audio last week. Where
are you, Chuck? I don't know where he is, but
he's talking about how you walk around all the time.
I'll get up early in the morning. Oh, those golden
grams I walk around, I feel absolutely safe. Security detail
Schoomer's on the move. Yeah, he he, he's got a
security detail. Who's he fooling? I had the audio Joe

(01:33):
where you I don't know where Joe is, but I
played it where he said that he had Democrats calling
him saying that man, this place is dangerous and people
should have got involved before. But they're not going to
go publicly and say that. Right. Hey, listen, if you
live for years having to go get your right guard
and having to wait because the cvs or the Walgreens
cats gotta go behind the plexiglass, hang on, man, sorry,

(01:55):
I don't got the plexicowski. Let me go find gal up. Yeah, yeah,
the guy wants some dinner. That is kind of old. Man.
Here's the numbers, far fewer right now happening across the
District of Columbia. And this is a good thing. These

(02:18):
numbers are are are dropping because they're numbers. The final
d C crime data showed that DC's violent crime rate
fifty four percent higher than the most dangerous state in America.
Do we know what state that is? Think Walter White.
It's right, Albuquerque, New Mexico. New Mexico, the most dangerous state.

(02:40):
DC is two hundred and twenty percent higher than the
national average. DC outpaced every one of the twenty largest cities,
ranked second highest among the twenty five most populous. The
murder rate in DC one hundred and sixty nine percent
higher than Louisiana. That's the highest murder rate state, five
hundred and twenty three percent higher than the average state.

(03:03):
DC's robbery rate three hundred and seventy percent higher than Maryland,
which has the worst state for robbery, nine hundred and
fifty five percent higher than your average state. Now, they're
not setting records on rape and aggravated assaults, but they're
still one hundred and ninety one percent and one hundred

(03:25):
and forty percent above the average rate of states across America.
So not a safe place. Sounds like FBI agents and
National Guard can really make a difference. And that's not all.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Carjackings are down eighty three percent, robberies are down forty
six percent, carthf's down twenty one percent, and overall violent
crime is down twenty two percent.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Sounding pretty good, is it not? Yes? It is. This
does need to be just a carbon copied across America.
Now we got the problem of teen crime. Why don't
we rewind back three four five years in our minds

(04:11):
what happened? Well, I don't know a sixteen year old
would have been about eleven or twelve year old. Then
watching the George Floyd riots might even out been part
of it. They were on lockdown, they're addicted to social media.
They can organize. They don't have jobs. That's one thing.
These roving bands of mobs of teens need jobs. If

(04:35):
you work, that gives you satisfaction. So many of them
don't have satisfaction in life. I saw a video of
like I don't, one hundred and fifty teen mob, some
on motorcycles, most of some on bicycles, taking over a
freeway in Boston, riding on the freeway. I'm not talking

(04:57):
about on the side shoulder either, talking about out in
the lanes. Team crime out of control. Sixty three percent
of all the rest for carjackings last year in twenty
twenty four in the District of Columbia involve kids, and
it goes beyond DC. We know that smashing grabs out
here in California, the street takeovers what we saw down

(05:18):
with the riots and smell a kid crime on the
rise all over the United States, and yeah, we can
send in a National Guard, we can send in an FBI,
we can send this in and we can curtail it.
And it's really though, I mean, I'm all for it,
we need this, but it's putting a band aid on
even a bigger issue, is it not? Even if we

(05:39):
do a curfew where they can't come out of their house, well,
they can be out in the day, and they're going
to have the same attitude. It all begins first and home,
and then with the schools. And when you don't have
a good home and then you don't go to a
good school, you're not going to grow into a good
grown up. Motivate them, man, give us something to get

(05:59):
up and work. I wish President Trump was doing this,
launching some kind of JFK Work Corps kind of DC.
Let's clean it up. Let's pay these kids some money
that they've never even had legally obtained. Let's let's put
a plan to put seventeen to twenty four year olds
to work in DC. Let's even bring it down to

(06:22):
fourteen to seventeen part time on the weekend and after school.
Something like that. Self esteem. I think that would cut
crimes back. We're all born with no sin in our lives,
and suddenly you're two years old. That's mine, that's mine,
that's mine. That can't continue. And that's what Nobody stopped

(06:43):
that attitude. DC police tackled an llegal alien on the
National Mall. He tried to escape. You see that, shouting
out in Spanish. Please, I'm not a criminal. I work here.
That was a translation I want to be with my family.
NBC News reporting, Hey, they took fund this guy's the
family guys like that Maryland dad. Somebody get him a margarita.

(07:05):
Where are the Democrats? Where are they? Well, it turned
out he had a little bit of criminal background on there. Yeah,
some to do with like not treating a child correctly
in the sexual arena. How dare they take somebody down

(07:25):
like that? You had the Fox News hit putting that
out as well, and they had to. They came back
on her like, no, what are you talking about. Don't
act like this is some innocent guy. DC Crime announced
the since in the seven days since they've taken over,
here's what we're looking at. Robberies down forty six percent, carjackings,
as I stated, down eighty three car theft down twenty one.

(07:48):
We need to work on that, guys. We got to
get that number up. Violent crime down twenty two, guys,
let's get that number up to carjacking numbers, property crime
down six, all crimes down eight seven days. So there
is a way to do it. Look at that impressive.
Now there's a deadline thirty days, and the Democrats are

(08:11):
going to fight this police department is under Section forty
of the Home Rule Act. Then status for thirty days.
You watch at the end of day twenty nine, crime
will drop even further and they'll still be going Nope,
this needs to end. I told you if President Trump
came up with a cure for cancer, they would defend

(08:31):
cancer hospitals that we can't lose these jobs. That's how
deranged they are. I love that Scott Jennings. They were saying, well,
don't you care about what the people of DC think.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
He's like, I don't care what they think. I mean,
these are the same people who elected the mayor and
city council that ran the city's public safety into the
ground in the first lare what they don't know what's
good for him?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
You don't care what the redomants of DC.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
I do not I do not care one bit, and
I'll tell you that I feel like I do.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Remember just a couple of weeks aater you were saying, well, secretly,
DC residents really want this because they know the crime
is so bad.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Now we actually have the number they say, will Trump's
federal take over reduced file and crime? Sixty five percent
say no, just twenty percent say yes. Would you do
you feel like the president's of federal officers makes you
feel safer? More safe eighteen percent, less safe sixty one?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Oh, so you're seeing the polls are showing that they
don't want them there, that their neighborhoods are excellent or
a good place to live. Yeah. Vice President Vance was
asked about that poll that they're talking about. They're on
CNN and they claim now they don't need this man.
Most people are saying, no, it's good, it's excellent, six
hundred and four people. I'm curious where they might live there.

(09:43):
A reporter asked Vance for his response to the to
the poll, and Vice President of VAN said, I'm a
little skeptical, and let me quote you here. Ready, I
don't know what pole you're talking about. Maybe the same
polls that said Kamala Harris would win the popular vote
by ten points. Boom good.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Why would they say that they're out arresting criminals. They're
arresting illegal aliens. They're getting illegal guns off the streets.
MS thirteen illegal alien was taken out off the streets
the other night. They're obviously safer. But you know, there's
another population that cares about public safety and DC.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's all the people who visit there.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
We have people that go there, millions of people from
all over the country. They deserve to go to a
national capital that's not in disgrace and despair, and that's
what they're doing in Washington. So I don't really care
about what they think.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Truth is. It is a disgrace. I no longer had
the videos before my son was coming out with grandkids
and we were going to the Grand Canyon. I was
deleting things off my phone so that I could take videos.
But I had taken some videos when I was back
there in twenty twenty one, and that was a shame
of how our nation's capital looked. Union Station, the train

(10:48):
there wasn't a whole lot to do because it was
a COVID lockdown. Going on. You couldn't go look at
the Constitution, you couldn't tour the normal places. So I
did all walking around where I could. And Union Station
up there at the big train station, it looked like
a let me just describe it as a mini woodstock
transient camp out. And I couldn't help noticing how new

(11:08):
the tents looked, as if somebody provided them, like they
were being service these to live there. But all I
got to say, with what we're seeing happening in DC,
and this is serious, Mayor Dier, watch what they do
in DC and apply it to Blackstone. This is the
Tremor Cary show on the Valley Spower talk Yeah, like

(11:31):
I used to do in the Beth Bathroom Beyond. Yeah,
I'll walk with you, my dear, in the bed bath
and Beyond. That was actually one of the stores. I
like pottery barn. I didn't like that. I didn't like
to I'll wait outside. I'll go look at some hats somewhere.
Bath and Beyond they had some things when they had
they used to kind of have electronics in there a
little bit, but then they kind of went a little more.

(11:54):
I don't know. Martha Stewart Crowd is that the way
we Now that's kind of snoop dog. Now it's a
little rough crowd. They went a little more soft, little
more ant v bed bathing beyond under the executive chairman
announce they're not going to operate or operate any physical
stores in California. Why Trevor doesn't like it and he

(12:15):
doesn't go all right, that's the reason. Enough high taxes,
strict regulations, unsustainable wage mandates making profitability unfeasible, the California
Business Plan, the California Chamber of Commerce. Yeah, they said
they're not going to open any retail stairs in California.
They said, it's not about politics. It's all to do

(12:37):
with what the policies of the Democrat Party in the
state have implemented. It is one hundred percent to do
with politics. Marcus lemonis the executive chair of B B
and B. He said, California says some makes it nearly
impossible for businesses to succeed. I won't put our company,
our employees are our customers in that position. Well, thank

(12:58):
you for being honest in that regards to Mark, because
you are correct. You go somewhere else. We'll just go
to bed bathroom beyond dot com and have it sent
to us out here. He goes on to put this
state down. Many businesses cannot sustain endless regulations at strangle growth.
Even when the state announces a budget surplus, it's built
on the backs of ordinary citizens are paying too much

(13:20):
and businesses who were squeezed until they break. Yeah, those
budgetary surpluses. Remember when game show Gavins spending the wheel.
If you've been vaccinated, you can win fifty dollars, let's
spend it. But he gave away more than that, didn't he? Yeah,
and more to inmates in prison. But I won't go

(13:41):
down that avenue at this moment. Bed Bathom Beyond CEO said,
we're taking a stand. It's time for common sense. Put
that in your campaign commercial, Gavin. He said, businesses deserve
the chance to succeed, employees deserve jobs at last, and
customers deserve fair price. California system delivers the opposite. That's

(14:05):
why bet to Beyond will serve California customers directly through
our dot com. Our terms with the best interests at
heart signed, we're out of here. You know who else
is out of their target customers are walking away. Well,
look at that go up. Yeah, yeah, they're they're not

(14:26):
doing too well and their CEO had to step down,
mister tuck it in ceo rememory. Target all heavily into
the lgbt q I A plus the whole wope going
in on all the pride merchandising, and hey, kids, if
you don't want to have dangling unmentionables, here's a little
strapping bell crow right here at Target. Get you some

(14:49):
cheetos and a and a way to strap down your
your growing natural god design breast tuck friendly swim You
don't want to be out in the summertime and trying
to act like you're a chick and have something that
doesn't look like a chick in your girl's swimsuit. So
we don't build the same amount of cloth room there

(15:11):
because there's nothing there on the girls, So we're gotta
gotta tuck that away. How comfortable would that be jumping
off the diving board, running in the sand, running up
to get a snoke on as a kid, and you're
tuck friendly with it all tucked back up and under.
How insane? Tuck friendly? Well it's only cost them twelve billion. Hey,

(15:37):
you still want to push that Pride merch on kids
looked like some moms decided they didn't want to roll
around in their red carts. Nah. Here's what the outgoing
CEO said. I think those are good business decisions. It's
the right thing for society and a great thing for
our brand. When he was talking in twenty twenty three

(15:59):
about tuck mobility nowp this is from this is CNN.
Target reported sales fell for the third straight quarter. Target
stock among the worst performing companies on the S and
P five hundred this year. Well, they got a new guy, yet,

(16:20):
maybe he'll do better. He he started as an intern
and worked his way all the way up to the
top after twenty years. I like stories like that. Target
went down nine percent in February, went down four point
seven percent in July. Walmart foot traffic is rising, So
there you go. That's where people are are headed off to.

(16:41):
I am truly excited. I I'd rather meet a triple
a catcher for the astros than a famous singer. I mean, like,
you know, take take any of your famous singers and okay,
let's just say Blake Shelton. I like country music and
Blake Shelton. I'd rather meet a triple A catcher and
talk to him about his career. This is the Trevor

(17:05):
Jerry Show on the Valley's Power Talk. Slimmer Now, Kenny Wiggins,
thank you so much for joining us here. As we'll
call this the pre pre pre pre kickoff. I like
a thing. You like that. I like them now. I'm
sure in high school, man, you had a lot of
basketball coaches coming after you. At six six, right, I
played basketball as well you did.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Oh yeah, I was a big basketball I'm a basketball
player in a football player's body.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
That's okay. Let's say, gun to your head. You had
to pick one sport to play forever, which would it
be basketball or football?

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Basketball? For sure?

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Wow? Did you have colleges coming after you had of
high school?

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Yep? I had some D one offers, nothing too big.
But once they found out I was I was playing football,
They're like, all right, yeah, you should probably go play football.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now let's go back in the in the game. You
were born in Elk Grove. Yep, I lived Elk Grove
over a LAGOONA by I five and that McDonald's okay,
you know right there.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yep, I was off the ninety.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Nine off that you were the other side of Elk Grove. Now,
how'd you get to Fresnoy State? How did all that
work out?

Speaker 6 (18:02):
So?

Speaker 5 (18:03):
I honestly, I didn't play offense my junior year of
football in high school, so I was, you know what,
I was like, I want to go do some summer camps.
Do a come down to Fresno, do a camp to
get better at offense because I knew I was gonna
play offensive line that next year. Was in a in
a skilled camp for three days in the middle of August,

(18:25):
full pads, one hundred and ten degrees like a normal
August day, and in in Fresno and coach He'll end
up offering me in a full ride scholarship right there
on the spot because he saw how tough I was.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I was.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
I was whipping on some dudes they had already offered
and everything, and they were just he was like, we
want you.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
You.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
You're a guy never even thought about even thinking about it.
I was going to get a scholarship off.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Or anything that did you put the hand out like
Kramer deal. No.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
I was kind of like, I was in shock. I
remember I was packing my car up to head back
down back up home, and he pulls up in his
golf cart and he's like, come talk to I know,
I want to come talk to you, and called my mom.
He's like, hey, we're gonna offer him the full right scholarship.
And I was just like whoa, Like what what just happened?
Like I didn't think I was that good?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Uh, but you go and deflate the basketball.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
No, I still played. I still played. Uh but uh yeah,
that was kind of how it all happened. And had
some other other schools come after me after that, but uh,
Presdent was the first. So I kind of fell in
love to coach Hill and and still to this day
I love that man.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Former NFL. We're talking with Kenny Wiggins. The best book
I ever read about sports was Drew Rosenhou's a sports agent. YEP,
tell him out how he would hustle to go recruit
that that whole game that we don't see when we
listen to it or watch it on TV.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, it is definitely a business. It is a people
think it's just going out there and play football, but
there's a whole, entire business side of it that's that
I didn't I knew nothing about. And luckily I had
a good agent on my side as well. That kind
of handled all that stuff for me and kind of
broke it down and told me what it was really like.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
C k You get scouted, No, no, No, I played soccer.
You were soccer guys. Soccer guys the football around here.
You got some spiral to your game.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
I could play a little football, you know what. I
did play freshman football and then I ended up playing
soccer the rest of the years.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah. And of course your daughter now collegiate star. Right,
that's something else. Uh you mentioned the heat, Kenny, Hey,
have you ever had a point? I'm sure you have.
Have you passed out or you remember? The hottest it's
ever been in football gear?

Speaker 5 (20:27):
Had to have been one of a camp day in Fresno,
that's for sure. I Mean there's so many of them
kind of just all blends together. But at that time
of life, it was just what you did, right, It
was just it was just, Hey, we got practice at
three o'clock on a Wednesday, at August fifteenth, you know,
So it's it's that there's going to be one hundred
and fifteen outside and deal with it. You know.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
I was in the parking lot last August. There was
some event out there, and it was so maybe it
was July, but I saw all the football players running
up and down those stairs and coaches with the whistle
and I was in the car with the air on
because it was so hot outside. I said, when they're
in the end zone and the lights are going off
celebrating a touchdown, you never see all the work. Oh yeah,
that goes into it. CK and I've been talking about
what three four years now, name image and likeness one

(21:12):
of our favorite converts. I went one time to c K.
I don't know a couple of years ago, I did
a Jerry maguire, Hey, let's walk, let's start our own agency.
We've been promoting ourselves our whole life. Let's go. There
have to be you know, smaller players that might not
could take with our startup company here. But talk about
what it was like having to play football, having to
keep your grades up, wanting to go out and buy

(21:33):
a pizza, and I mean that's a tough boogie.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Yeah. So when it was when I was when I
was playing, there was no nil. I had a scholarship
check and that was it. I couldn't even take a
free drink from a from a.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
You didn't get your Eric Dickerson corvette.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
Oh no, definitely not not me. But yeah, it was tough, man,
it was. I remember sitting there and sometimes the bank
account would hit thirteen bucks on the on the middle
of the month, and I'm like, I can't put gas
in my car for the rest of the month.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
But I'm out here and you look up at a
pack stadium in ten twenty eight bucks.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Yep, And and all these guys are are making I
mean not making money, but I mean the university is
is is benefiting from all of us, right, there needs
to be I always thought there should be some sort
of compensation for the players or whatever, and and thank
god there is now. It's a little bit like the
Wow Wow West right now where they're they're going crazy.

(22:28):
I always had there there should be like some sort
of of payment or or or stiping stipe, not even
stiping or even like kind of like a percentage of play, right, Like,
so if you go out and you play, you get
you get the pool from this.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Pool, pay for pay for play, pay for.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
Play, right Like. The the NFL is a player performance.
That's what I'm that's what I'm looking for. The NFL
has something like it, right, where a lot of guys
that are are lower on the on the salary scale
and they play a lot, they come they come around
and they say, Okay, here's a two hundred thousand dollars
bonus at the end of the year because the amount
of plays that you played versus the amount of salary

(23:06):
cap or versus amount of money you took from the
salary cap. So it's kind of something like that where
if you're playing a lot and you're making the university
a whole bunch of money, you might as well pay
these players to keep them happy. Right, Like I couldn't.
I couldn't buy dinner sometimes, right, I'm having to. We
got breakfast for free, But then I'd pack a whole
bunch of stuff and put it in my backpacks because

(23:28):
I didn't have enough money to go out and spend
it and buy lunch and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
When you go on the road. Would they give you
an allowance kind.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
Of No, I mean they would they would give us food, right,
they would pay for they would make our meals and
have our meals and stuff for us.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
But well, I guess my question. They wouldn't give you
twenty dollars for lunch and you'd go to McDonald's for
three and pocket seventeen.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
No, no, no, they would they would have. They would
supply all the meals for us on.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
The road and back. Then you could go to McDonald's
for three bucks.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
That's crazy because like with my daughter and her team now,
I mean, well, actually both my daughters played college soccer,
ones at Oregon, the other one played at Santos A State.
They did get style to go on the road. So
anytime they played on the road, however, many days that
they were gone, they got X amount of dollars. If
they used it, they use it. If they didn't use it,
that's all for them. But that's crazy. They must have

(24:12):
changed that rule since you played, and where we are now, I.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Think it's a little bit different. I think if you
don't supply the meal, then you have to give the stipend. Yeah,
but if you supply the meal, then they don't have
to get the stipe. Okay, so you got one hundred
guys on a trip, that's true. You're gonna do family,
family style meals right instead of giving them all thirty
bucks to go spend.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Whereas the soccer team has thirty players, maybe the travel
team is twenty two, so yeah, it makes a lot
of sense.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, so that's kind of where that's at.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Former NFL for US and No State. Kenny Wiggins is
our guests. What team was the I can think back
over my radio career and not counting here and working
with c K. I'll say Magic V Film and Colorado
Springs my favorite station, c K. In your Cavas Square,
Where was the sweet spot where you had the most fun?

Speaker 6 (24:57):
San Francisco Wild one oh seven to Wild ninety four.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Not easy, Kenny Niners, Ravens, Chargers, Lions, Giants. What was
that week?

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Answer? That is a loaded question because I grew up
a forty nine er fan, like I grew up Grove
hour and a half from from the stadium in the
practice facility, went to the Super Bowl and in twenty twelve,
which was which was a great experience, but I didn't play,
so like I was just on practice squad. Got down
to San Diego. Loved San Diego. San Diego is the best, best,

(25:30):
best city in America, right, I love it. I would
love to get back down there and have a place.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I mean, I don't know why. Yeah, you're gonna.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
He has a great story about dropping off of a
teammate and stock. Yes, we won't get into that today.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Now we're good.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
We're good. And yeah. So San Diego. San Diego is
my favorite city in the world. Played a lot of
football there, loved my teammates there. Didn't really like the
organization that much, right, organization was kind of still are
still are Detroit. Love Detroit. Loved the organization. We just sucked.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
So, Like, I think I have a a calendar. My
parents lived in Detroit. My still got family there. But
it was a year they were like, oh and sixteen.
I have the Lion's calendar from that year.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
I wasn't there that year, but uh we only I
think we won like five and and four games. But
the two years I was there so but loved the
city of Detroit, loved being out there on the on
the lakes, fishing and stuff like that. Played a lot
of football there, the ice Fish, no ice Fish. I
got out of there before everything pros Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
So and Giants. It was.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
It was a storied franchise. It was during COVID, so
it was like a very weird situation to be a
part of that. Driving around Times Square with nobody in sight. Wow,
is the craziest thing I ever seen. But yeah, it was.
It was fun. It was a it was a short
time there, but uh, it was. It was cool.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Here's a question I've always wanted to ask a professional athlete.
I'm glad I thought of it. The attitude of the fans.
Do you pick it up in the stadium? Like difference
between San Diego and Detroit. Yeah, definitely more of a loyalty,
I would say in some of those other cities.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
San Diego did not have any any fans, right they
it was it was an away game when you were
a home so we played Pittsburgh or whatever it was,
there would be a hundred terrible terrible tower or hundreds
of terrible talents. It really is. But and then you
then you go to a place like I always thrived

(27:37):
in those situations. I loved the hostile, hostile environments. My
favorite place to play was the oakn Coliseum when I
played the Raiders. And that was unbelievable because grewup forty
nine er fan hating Raider fans, like, and they're on
top of you. You're literally scoring a touchdown and they're
three feet from the back of the end zone in
the black hole. You're over there flipping them off and

(27:58):
call them names, doing all that kind of stuff. And
it was a lot of fun. I loved playing there.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I got to live in the Buffalo area a little bit.
And on a Sunday morning, even if the bills were
three and eleven, that grocery store, we'd be packed at
seven am getting all their food ready. Boy, I bet
Detroit was kind of similar some of those cities like that.
They love their teams.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, Detroit loves. Detroit is a football town for sure,
but they don't have the tailgate stuff like Buffalo did.
But Detroit showed out for their fan for for their
teams and everything, and they were great. That's a really
cool stadium because it's indoors, so it's not you don't
really have to battle the elements. But yeah, Detroit was
a lot of fun, big football town. They loved you

(28:43):
when you win, and they hate you when you lose.
That's for sure.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Well, see, kay, I don't know if we've had this conversation,
I'd bring Kenny into it here since we're all together.
The new stadium, the talk about it, Shakira being so
successful with that concert of multi use valley stadium I
got to tour the locker room. I've never been out there,
and I'm gonna probably guess the mulldogs this weekend going
into Kansas, they're going to see something shining spectacular with

(29:07):
a new stadium and come back that that has to
look a little different. Do you think we're ever gonna
get there in ten years? Maybe a new stadium. It
seems like it's coming around a little bit more.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
We need we need it for sure. We need upgrades,
one percent.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Grade or a new one.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
We don't think there's going to be a new stadium.
I think I think you got to upgrade what we have.
I don't see us building anything new with the amount
of money that would take for us new stadium. But uh,
it needs to happen, and I hope it does because
we're long overdue and I don't know when or what
that will take.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
You know, it's good that you brought up Kansas because
I think we should take something similar and do that here.
That's not a new stadium, it's an upgraded stadium.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
They do a public private partnership kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Basically, it's David Booth Memorial is the name of the stadium.
David booth donated three hundred million dollars and it was
a five hundred million dollars innovation. It's not even completed yet,
so what we're gonna see, it's only halfway done. So
this weekend, when the Dogs are on TV, half of
the stadium will be complete, upgraded, jumbo tron, all those things.

(30:15):
We'll see a lot of niceness, but I believe the
east side will still be your traditional bleacher seating.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
All right, well, gentlemen, does anybody have anything to say
before we we end this conversation here? Anything burning on
anybody's heart or chest for this year? I know we
got a new quarterback that has a famous dad that's
gonna add some excitement to the to the arena. I
would think all I got is go Dogs, Go, Dogs,
Go Dogs. In Ck and Trevor are gonna go to

(30:43):
Fashion Fair tomorrow. We're gonna be at the sports station
three to six for simul casting with Ck and myself
Fox Sports thirteen forty k on Sports. We're gonna do
it before every Fresdent State football game this year, and
we're gonna have some tickets to give away. And my
neighbors said, I can borrow the cornhole game, So I
think set up throwing a football around and breaking stuff.
I think we'll go cornall.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Simple fun, having a good time, and we're all getting
ready for the big game that's gonna be happening this
Saturday against Prisno State and Kansas. You're gonna be able
to listen to it on our stations and of course
only one of five games on national TV this week,
so the Dogs is gonna have a big spotlight.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Kenny. I always say I'd rather meet a triple A
catcher for the Astros than Janet Jackson or Ain'tbody famous.
So that's what it means to meet pro athletes. It's
an honor, dude, and thank thanks for your dedication and
thank you for your time. No problem, man, No problem,
you bet you woo. Can we do one more? Go Dogs,
Go Dog, Go Dogs. The assistant Trevor Cherry Show Mondo

Zalle's Power Dog. We were normally gonna have food and drinks,
but then we thought, yeah, you're right, oner, you probably
don't want a whole lot of food being passed around
with like T shirts and sweatshirts hanging most clothing shirts
don't a lot people go around grubbing on food. Yeah,
you know, leaky tacos, you know, stuff like that. So

(32:05):
we'll have sports stuff to give away, and we're gonna
be doing this before every Frezene State football game. So
we'll have some places where you can also sit down
and eat and we do not have to worry about
you rubbing it on a you know, a thirty eight
dollars sweatshirt there or something as well. Hi U triple

this article with this saying it's also for those cheering

worried less about the highly trained athletes. I'm more worried
about you and I yeah, that's right. You know. The
