That's uh, that is a dumb saying. Now I'm thinking
about it. You can only win my way.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh that's that's the uh your take on the game, Well,
the team who scores the most will win, you know
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, I'm only I'm not as young as I used
to be, right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
The big one in for Steeler fans is Tomlin's like
he always starts his pressers after we well we didn't
win the game today. That's always the everybody takes shots
shots at him, big dummy.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I was watching some old Steelers video last night. Came
down to the fourth quarter of the last two plays
and I can't I can't recall who it wasn't made
the reception, but it was you know, seventies era, old
grainy video footage, seventies era stuff. And then and then
the final play man runs in for the winning touchdown,
number thirty two. Franco Harris. What a machine he was.
I just I just couldn't stop staring at that. I
(01:29):
that's when I love the Steelers. I was a Steelers.
You you bring back the Bradshaw door, said, uh, Franco Harris,
Rocky Black, Oh yeah, those were the days.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That was uh, that was the era when I started
liking him when I was a kid, when I was young,
and I was well, you know, I was younger than
ten during that time. But that's when I started to
latch on and I never let go. And people because
people always say, are you from there? And I'm like, now,
I'm from here. What I'm like, Yeah, I grew up
(02:01):
mustaball what Yeah, well, how did you? I'm like, I
don't know. I just started liking them when I was
a kid.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
We're a heck of a team. It was hard not
to like them.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That was the whole you know, the coke. Hey kid,
you know, like he throws his Joe. Yeah yeah, man,
I mean that was dude, thanks me and Joe, right, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
So you know I told you that, like, you know,
I got a I got a new suit and I
had to get fitted for a new suit because the
(02:30):
one that I have is got awful because I've lost
enough weight where I'm like, all right, I'm roaring, I'm
getting a suit. And then I was like, all right,
I got a lot of decent amount of ties or whatever.
And so I started looking at ties, you know, while
I was there. And I'm not going to say exactly
where I was, but I'm like, I ain't paying sixty
dollars for a time.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Isn't it crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And this is one of the things I miss about
shot and Stein's quite frankly, because I used to go
to shot and Stein's and I would buy designer silk ties.
They were like seven ninety nine back in the day.
I had a closet full of ties back then.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That you didn't pay more than eight dollars for.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And now even cheap ties are fifty bucks, dude.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I I yeah, And some people might be laughing right
now because I said I ain't paying sixty dollars or time.
Some people are probably like, you better snap that up.
That's a great deal, Like, no, it's not not worth
not So I jumped on Amazon, and you know, I
don't know some people people get you start talking about
h I ordered it online, Like how dare you? Oh,
(03:29):
we're gonna put these brick and mortars out of it. But
here's the thing. I mean. I get that that they
have rent to pay, they have employees to pay, they
have go down the list of whatever they have to pay.
But I feel like some of this is egregious. I'm
just like, come on, man, sixty dollars for a tie?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And would you find on Amazon?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I got two ties for twenty five and some change.
Oh yeah, and they're going to be at my house
before I get home. Yeah, and I ordered them this morning.
And they both have pocket squares. There you go, matching
pocket square. No more can you ask? I understand wanting
to support local business. I absolutely do that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yes, they've got rent to pay, and employees to pay,
in insurance to pay, and all that to pay. Guess
what I got stuff to pay too. When I can't
afford fifty bucks for your tie. Yeah, there's what it
comes down to.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And here's the thing too, I don't know if they're
making their quote unquote living. I don't think they are
on selling ties because clearly, at sixty dollars a clip,
they're not going to sell enough of those to pay
the rent. So that's a side afterthought. I think that's
those are designed for people that are there, and it's like, eh,
might as well. I'm standing here and this is the
(04:35):
exact one that I want in exact color, and blah
blah blah, And so I did buy you know, I
bought my suit there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, so I did contribute to a local business and
one or two other accouterments while you were there. It's
not like you were cheap while you were in the place, right,
Although I think it was a little outrageous. You only
need to measure and him seem so many times, but
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But look, some people pay extra to have that happen.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah. I'm sure you probably did too. We just didn't
see it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
What did I say, Man, You said the quiet part
out loud. No, And then you know, they have the
great shoes there, They've got casual wear and I'm eye
on all this. I'm going back because I'm like, man,
this is some this. I'm like, I can see me
in this. I can see me in this. And then
the dress shoes though, you know, the dress shoes were reasonable,
(05:26):
you know, one thirty, one fifty, But you know what,
I went to a different place that has three letters
in the name of it, and I found basically the
same ones for sixty dollars. So you know what I mean.
It's like, man, do.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You have a favorite brand of dress shoe?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
No, because I don't really wear dress shoes much. You know,
you see me, I come in here, I look homeless.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Mate, there are two for me that and here's where
I'm really old. I'm a big four shine guy. Yeah.
And Stacy Adams, believe it or not, Yep, yep, those
are the two that I I find that I'd like most.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, I'm absolutely my cousin God rest his soul was
a Stacy Adams guy. He loved Stacy Adams, he would.
And then the Flora Sheim were they're there. I did
look over. Some of the ones that I got are
not Flora Shim and they're not Stacy Adams. I'm not
even sure what the brand is. But they're fantastic shoes.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
As long as you're happy with them, they're comfortable, they
look good, and you're happy that you own them, that's
what matters.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Here's the thing. If I'm an attorney and I'm wearing
a suit every day, and you have to have three
or four or five suits, you know, because you literally
wear them every day, it might be okay to get
them a little lower end. But if you and didn't
have a really good one, if you've got a huge
trial like you got you got three thousand dollars one
or you know whatever, if you're an attorney making some cash.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I have spent a great deal of time in the
courthouse lately, and I must tell you there's some frumpy
but attorneys out there. Oh yeah, looking terrible. Oh yeah,
I'm just you know, I'm thinking that, really did.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
They say dressed for the job you want, not the
one you have.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
There are standards on what you, as a citizen and
should wear into the courtroom or must wear into the courtroom.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, and some of.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
These attorneys at I see walking through the courthouse and
how on oif do you get up in the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well, it looks like they just got up in the
morning and then had that on all night too, and
they woren't smokes. Oh you're like, uh, you own an
iron or a comb for that matter, or a call.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, some of them have been really outrageous.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Anyway, I just thought, you know, I got a I
can't be the only one that's got thoughts on really crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I mean, you've showed me the suit. I have not
seen you in the suit. I want to see how
you look.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'll do that a page. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Hey guys, let's say practically every day.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I appreciate your show.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Thanks babe.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Years ago, I had a boss of mine. It turned
me onto this place up at one sixty one and
seventy one. I believe in my mind that's where it's at.
It's called K and G Men's Mark.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's actually Morse in seventy one. I spend a great
deal of time.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
More there you go, Thank you, thank you. So I'll
tell you a story. So I go up there. Believe
it or not. I've got a key line tuxedo that
I traded a case of beer four years ago on
Saint Patti's Day. I always wear and I but I
didn't have a key line, a line tie. So I
wanted to K and G Men's Mark. They had one
(08:26):
left and I think it was like on clearance for
like three dollars ninety nine. So yeah, you can get
you can get some really good deals up there.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay for the ties, the necktie.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, for everything, well not just ties, but suits and
dress shirts, dress pants. They do have some shoes, I think,
but they you know, it's a it's a nice place.
You know. You can really save a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Up there, K and G.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, that that blue suit and I'm wearing fast my
Facebook profile a blue suit on Yeah, that's from KG
I called Superman blue.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I have not warned for quite a while because it's
actually a Shawn Comb's designer suit. So so when did
he got in all that stuff? I'm like, I'm not
even wearing this suit anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh just the karma thing.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I just I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's not like people can see the tag and they're like, Chuck,
you really supporting that guy? Like how about this a
long time ago?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And now it's in a box with a bunch of
other stuff. I'm probably gonna yard sale or something because
a bunch of fat clothes, car fish shorts and stuff
that I can't wear anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That suit ain't fitting you. That ship sailed my brother.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So if he wants some stuff I sweated in. I'm
waiting for my yards.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Listen. Can you hear the people moving towards your your.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yard, surrounding the house right now, waving dollars like I'm
a stripper.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That won't be the first time that's happened to you.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Back when I was a stripper.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah. Uh So, to assure the Columbus Fury continues to
operate in Columbus, Franklin County's giving the volleyball franchise five
hundred grand. They get this, Columbus Mayor Andrew Gentther wants
the city to provide the same. It's a total of
a million dollars in case you can't do that math,
and it's in grants that are going to support the
(10:10):
team during the upcoming twenty six volleyball season. And the
let's see the current majority owner of the team seeking
a new majority owner. And this was the spokesperson for
Ginther that was saying this, and I'm like, what, hold
on a minute. The spokesperson for Ginther is giving us
(10:31):
information about what the Columbus Fury is doing as far
as looking for ownership.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What well, he speaks for the Haslims all the time too,
doesn't he?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I Yeah, what is wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I know, doesn't wrong at all. No, especially when they're
giving away half a million of your dollars with no
expectation of repayment.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The agreement requires the team to maintain operations, so in
Columbus through twenty thirty, that's the tradeoff. They're saying, you
have to maintain operations here or the league's going to
be responsible for refunding the city's Grand Ginther gave a
nod to the Fury during his State of the City
address when he and his wife Shannon declared their aspiration
(11:11):
for Columbus to become the nation's capital for women's sports.
Have any men decided to play for the Fury yet?
Have we had that yet? I want to see how
how welcoming.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm just bypassing the automatic response Shannon joke. I was
going to make not about his wife, by the way, right,
just about the name.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah. As I'm looking at the Columbus Fury pictures here.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'm by the president city council print.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yes, yes, look at this picture. Okay, that's typical of
the pictures. What do you see?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, it's it's a very tight shot, so you can't
see the other empty part of where they're playing. There's
an average of three to four thousand people in attendance.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, they've got all these pictures out there as if
they're packing the house, and they're not. They're not. So
here's here's the deal. If relatively good looking women by
most people's standards, in little bity tight shorts are not
drawing enough people to pay their bills, why does it
make sense to put taxpayer money into it. I'm just saying, guys,
it doesn't make look for better or for worse. We
(12:17):
are what we are as a species. If this is
not drawing enough people to pay the bills, why should
we pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
The Franklin County Commissioners voted unanimously. This was a meeting
a couple of days ago yesterday to approve five hundred
grand in grants for the Greater Columbus Sports Commission to
support the Columbus Fury, both the city and the county.
You're going to pay half two fifty each and then
the other half next year. The Franklin County Commissioner Eric
Erica Crawley said that it's a great investment. She goes
(12:51):
on to say it drives dollars. People come, they want
to see the Fury play and then they spend their money,
So it's an economic development driver. Well, then why does
the team need money if it's an if it's such
a yes, a development. Wait a minute. They were nine
to nineteen. They ranked last among all eight teams in
(13:13):
the league. They sold an average of four thousand tickets
to each home game. And get this, the Columbus Fury
CEO David Payson, he declined to talk about why the
team needed the money. They did put out a statement
as far as he decided to not talk about it,
but they did put out a statement. They said, well,
(13:34):
it was in an email, and so they talk about
how they're shared you know, it's a shared commitment to
furthering women's sports in Ohio. The proposed bridge in funding
for the Furies temporary measure that allows the organization to
continue providing life changing opportunities to women in sports. Again,
I ask you, have any men tried out for the
(13:56):
women's volleyball League. Where are the men who want to
come as women? Where are they now? Let's see how
welcoming they are.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I would remind you too, that four weeks ago, when
the WNBA was looking for a new place to put
a franchise, Columbus, Ohio was not even considered because this
mayor and his wife, who wanted to make Columbus a
prominent place for women's sports, didn't even bother to approach
the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
That's too big of a that's too big of a
of an undertaking. Well, this is a little easier to control.
From their perspective.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It claimed to be hungry and refused to get up
off the sofa and go to the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I agree with you, et cetera.
I the way I view that is, they're going it's
easier to control something fledgling like this as opposed to
I mean, the WNBA is this this entity, albeit way
smaller than the NBA, but much larger than pro volleyball,
(14:54):
women's pro volleyball, you know. So, but those are just
a couple of the things that is happening, you know,
in the middle of all of the other craziness that's happening.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
In our world, and sadly, this will probably happen with
or without, you know, our approval of citizens. It'll just
it'll happen because they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know there were three and nine,
did you.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I had no idea. Yeah, I didn't know they had
nine games on their schedule.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm not poo pooing them necessarily, it's just this plan
and then the people want to say, oh, yeah, this
is a great idea, great investment. Meanwhile, it's tanking. Now
will it catch on? I don't know. It remains to
be seen.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe like the WNBA, maybe it's making strides, but it's
still insignificant when compared to the NBA and this Maybe
one day women's volleyball will be a big thing, But
for the moment, it either stands on its owner it falters.
We are closer to the weekend than right now than
we were earlier this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:06):

I'm really old. I'm a big four shine guy. Yeah.
And Stacy Adams, believe it or not, Yep, yep, those
are the two that I I find that I'd like most.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, I'm absolutely my cousin God rest his soul was
a Stacy Adams guy. He loved Stacy Adams, he would.
And then the Flora Sheim were they're there. I did
look over. Some of the ones that I got are
not Flora Shim and they're not Stacy Adams. I'm not
even sure what the brand is. But they're fantastic shoes.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
As long as you're happy with them, they're comfortable, they
look good, and you're happy that you own them, that's
what matters.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Here's the thing. If I'm an attorney and I'm wearing
a suit every day, and you have to have three
or four or five suits, you know, because you literally
wear them every day, it might be okay to get
them a little lower end. But if you and didn't
have a really good one, if you've got a huge
trial like you got you got three thousand dollars one
or you know whatever, if you're an attorney making some cash.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I have spent a great deal of time in the
courthouse lately, and I must tell you there's some frumpy
but attorneys out there. Oh yeah, looking terrible. Oh yeah,
I'm just you know, I'm thinking that, really did.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
They say dressed for the job you want, not the
one you have.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
There are standards on what you, as a citizen and
should wear into the courtroom or must wear into the courtroom.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, and some of.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
These attorneys at I see walking through the courthouse and
how on oif do you get up in the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well, it looks like they just got up in the
morning and then had that on all night too, and
they woren't smokes. Oh you're like, uh, you own an
iron or a comb for that matter, or a call.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, some of them have been really outrageous.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Anyway, I just thought, you know, I got a I
can't be the only one that's got thoughts on really crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I mean, you've showed me the suit. I have not
seen you in the suit. I want to see how
you look.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'll do that a page. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Hey guys, let's say practically every day.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I appreciate your show.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Thanks babe.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Years ago, I had a boss of mine. It turned
me onto this place up at one sixty one and
seventy one. I believe in my mind that's where it's at.
It's called K and G Men's Mark.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's actually Morse in seventy one. I spend a great
deal of time.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
More there you go, Thank you, thank you. So I'll
tell you a story. So I go up there. Believe
it or not. I've got a key line tuxedo that
I traded a case of beer four years ago on
Saint Patti's Day. I always wear and I but I
didn't have a key line, a line tie. So I
wanted to K and G Men's Mark. They had one
(08:26):
left and I think it was like on clearance for
like three dollars ninety nine. So yeah, you can get
you can get some really good deals up there.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay for the ties, the necktie.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, for everything, well not just ties, but suits and
dress shirts, dress pants. They do have some shoes, I think,
but they you know, it's a it's a nice place.
You know. You can really save a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Up there, K and G.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, that that blue suit and I'm wearing fast my
Facebook profile a blue suit on Yeah, that's from KG
I called Superman blue.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I have not warned for quite a while because it's
actually a Shawn Comb's designer suit. So so when did
he got in all that stuff? I'm like, I'm not
even wearing this suit anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh just the karma thing.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I just I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's not like people can see the tag and they're like, Chuck,
you really supporting that guy? Like how about this a
long time ago?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And now it's in a box with a bunch of
other stuff. I'm probably gonna yard sale or something because
a bunch of fat clothes, car fish shorts and stuff
that I can't wear anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That suit ain't fitting you. That ship sailed my brother.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So if he wants some stuff I sweated in. I'm
waiting for my yards.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Listen. Can you hear the people moving towards your your.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yard, surrounding the house right now, waving dollars like I'm
a stripper.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That won't be the first time that's happened to you.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Back when I was a stripper.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah. Uh So, to assure the Columbus Fury continues to
operate in Columbus, Franklin County's giving the volleyball franchise five
hundred grand. They get this, Columbus Mayor Andrew Gentther wants
the city to provide the same. It's a total of
a million dollars in case you can't do that math,
and it's in grants that are going to support the
(10:10):
team during the upcoming twenty six volleyball season. And the
let's see the current majority owner of the team seeking
a new majority owner. And this was the spokesperson for
Ginther that was saying this, and I'm like, what, hold
on a minute. The spokesperson for Ginther is giving us
(10:31):
information about what the Columbus Fury is doing as far
as looking for ownership.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What well, he speaks for the Haslims all the time too,
doesn't he?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I Yeah, what is wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I know, doesn't wrong at all. No, especially when they're
giving away half a million of your dollars with no
expectation of repayment.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The agreement requires the team to maintain operations, so in
Columbus through twenty thirty, that's the tradeoff. They're saying, you
have to maintain operations here or the league's going to
be responsible for refunding the city's Grand Ginther gave a
nod to the Fury during his State of the City
address when he and his wife Shannon declared their aspiration
(11:11):
for Columbus to become the nation's capital for women's sports.
Have any men decided to play for the Fury yet?
Have we had that yet? I want to see how
how welcoming.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm just bypassing the automatic response Shannon joke. I was
going to make not about his wife, by the way, right,
just about the name.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah. As I'm looking at the Columbus Fury pictures here.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'm by the president city council print.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yes, yes, look at this picture. Okay, that's typical of
the pictures. What do you see?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, it's it's a very tight shot, so you can't
see the other empty part of where they're playing. There's
an average of three to four thousand people in attendance.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, they've got all these pictures out there as if
they're packing the house, and they're not. They're not. So
here's here's the deal. If relatively good looking women by
most people's standards, in little bity tight shorts are not
drawing enough people to pay their bills, why does it
make sense to put taxpayer money into it. I'm just saying, guys,
it doesn't make look for better or for worse. We
(12:17):
are what we are as a species. If this is
not drawing enough people to pay the bills, why should
we pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
The Franklin County Commissioners voted unanimously. This was a meeting
a couple of days ago yesterday to approve five hundred
grand in grants for the Greater Columbus Sports Commission to
support the Columbus Fury, both the city and the county.
You're going to pay half two fifty each and then
the other half next year. The Franklin County Commissioner Eric
Erica Crawley said that it's a great investment. She goes
(12:51):
on to say it drives dollars. People come, they want
to see the Fury play and then they spend their money,
So it's an economic development driver. Well, then why does
the team need money if it's an if it's such
a yes, a development. Wait a minute. They were nine
to nineteen. They ranked last among all eight teams in
(13:13):
the league. They sold an average of four thousand tickets
to each home game. And get this, the Columbus Fury
CEO David Payson, he declined to talk about why the
team needed the money. They did put out a statement
as far as he decided to not talk about it,
but they did put out a statement. They said, well,
(13:34):
it was in an email, and so they talk about
how they're shared you know, it's a shared commitment to
furthering women's sports in Ohio. The proposed bridge in funding
for the Furies temporary measure that allows the organization to
continue providing life changing opportunities to women in sports. Again,
I ask you, have any men tried out for the
(13:56):
women's volleyball League. Where are the men who want to
come as women? Where are they now? Let's see how
welcoming they are.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I would remind you too, that four weeks ago, when
the WNBA was looking for a new place to put
a franchise, Columbus, Ohio was not even considered because this
mayor and his wife, who wanted to make Columbus a
prominent place for women's sports, didn't even bother to approach
the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
That's too big of a that's too big of a
of an undertaking. Well, this is a little easier to control.
From their perspective.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It claimed to be hungry and refused to get up
off the sofa and go to the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I agree with you, et cetera.
I the way I view that is, they're going it's
easier to control something fledgling like this as opposed to
I mean, the WNBA is this this entity, albeit way
smaller than the NBA, but much larger than pro volleyball,
(14:54):
women's pro volleyball, you know. So, but those are just
a couple of the things that is happening, you know,
in the middle of all of the other craziness that's happening.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
In our world, and sadly, this will probably happen with
or without, you know, our approval of citizens. It'll just
it'll happen because they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know there were three and nine,
did you.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I had no idea. Yeah, I didn't know they had
nine games on their schedule.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm not poo pooing them necessarily, it's just this plan
and then the people want to say, oh, yeah, this
is a great idea, great investment. Meanwhile, it's tanking. Now
will it catch on? I don't know. It remains to
be seen.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe like the WNBA, maybe it's making strides, but it's
still insignificant when compared to the NBA and this Maybe
one day women's volleyball will be a big thing, But
for the moment, it either stands on its owner it falters.
