Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Hello, everybody walking to the second half of our doubleheader.
We had the Motor City Mad Mouse Show earlier with
myself and former New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway. Tonight
we have myself, Candy, George, Jacob Crisser, and possibly Willy
ef the night and the title of the show, what
would you buy ten billion dollars? Why would I lead
off with something like that because our we're gonna talk

(00:44):
about the Lakers want to take everybody for being back house.
I want to send a cecil shout out to Stephen Reichel,
who did a really good job than Troop. Jad Wyatt
sat in with for well, they all did a good jubble.
Candy and I were out in Europe doing ear thing,
and everybody else up is fated to try to keep
everything going. Tottenuity wis with that said, well theft he

(01:04):
maybe on a little bit later. He had another commitment tonight,
but we got to kick things rolling nevertheless. You see
the title you mentioned the cruise. But before we left,
the Buck family then earned an agreement to sell with
your ownership to Mark Walter, the CEO and chairman of
diversified holding company t WG Global, for ten billion dollars.

(01:26):
Jerry buff purchased the Lakers for sixty seven point five
million in nineteen seventy nine. George Dykorn, what are your
thoughts about what took place with the Lakers here in
that sale.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
That's an awful lot of money, my friends, That's an
awful lot and I think you know, when you got
Lebron James, they're still driving that ship. Of course you're
going to have a huge, huge paycheck and to buy
the team. I mean, now, the NBA obviously has grown,
Let's just face the facts. I mean, we have seen
the vision ratings go up, and the number of teams

(02:02):
and the playoffs, and then they're trying to extend a
lot of things. But as far as the Lakers go,
I think that that again is one of the jewels
I call them, for lack of a better term, that
you're gonna see for purchase. And obviously, you know, I'm
not gonna get off on a tangent, but you got
the Yankees and and you know the Dallas Cowboys and
that kind of stuff. But the Lakers, they are definitely premiere.

(02:24):
Are they worth that much? I could never afford it.
I think it's insane. To be honest with you. But
people around the league and people that are more in
tune with it might say that maybe it's a steel
even I don't know, but I just know this. The
Lakers haven't done anything guys for years now, Okay nothing

(02:44):
and I'll leave it at that. No.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
A couple of years ago they won the title COVID,
but they still want No. Number seventeen. Maggie Johnson did
predict that when the Boston Celtics is going to be sold,
that Lakers will catch much bigger return than they did,
So I would think that's or something. All right, take that,
what do you think?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, George, that's only two or three no day and
then you got so you know it's but no, I
brought this up earlier and enough to shoot camera thing.
It's like they got this with Lebron. It's like you
had this with Lebron. You've won a recent bubble ring,
but it's still a ring. You've got all this, you

(03:25):
get yourself a time while you can't do it, and
see people forget with these sales, what these what these
teams are trying to do and He's always trying to
do when they sell it like you're here. For instance,
the Pittsburgh Pirates fans keep saying sell them team nutting.
Now about nutting, it's like, okay, you have one player,
maybe two, and and you might have to trade them

(03:49):
just to try to get more things in the first place,
if you keep me in bed, So what would he
have to be able to get a value that he
would want in the first place? That goes to all
these other bad teams when they say something like this.
So it's like, and as much as I this is
the truth. The mccaskey's are old, the old dusty ashtrays
are dead.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Is dead.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
So it's like they're gonna sell. The mc caskie's gonna
sell eventually. They're hoping. As much as I can't stand
call Williams, are hoping he succeeds. So they have value.
It's the truth. They're really because you want to be
able to have value, to be able to get something,
then you have to have to do this. The Lakers
are value, no matter what. If a Yankee sold to
be twenty billion. It's just the ways of the things. Yes,

(04:32):
it's just it's just, I mean, no matter what the
thing is, it is what is on television, it's like
what gets on and the.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Bears would be pretty close to because they've been so.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I mean, they've been around since nineteen twenty. You're getting
those type of deals. But and then the Lions was
shock yet because they're the four family hypothetical. So remember
this type of deal. That's what you have. It's the
fact that what can you get for the value? And
the Lakers are value.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know, you bring up a couple of interesting points
in there and alternately candy. In a minute, you think
of would other franchises that could be left worth that
type of money? The only ones that I can think of, Well,
we know the Knicks will be worth a boatload of money.
I think I definitely believe that they'd be worth a
boatload of money. And we know about the Yankees, but
I'm talking about the NBA. Per say, I don't know
if you can do much more than the NIXT because

(05:25):
they have to garden and everything else to connect it
with the properties as well, so you can purchase that
property as a whole. But you have the south Ks,
the Lakers, and I think the Knicks will be the
only one that could supersede that ten billion total. I
don't know, And well, and we'll come over the other
answer to that question for the headline in a minute.
But what do you think, Candy about the return on

(05:45):
Eventstan I'd say one thing, the Buck family Geni bus
made a good deal there when you bought it for
sixty seven point nine million dollars. That what I said earlier.
It's sixty seven point five excuse me, and you're getting
ten billions a pretty the ROI let the little championships
to go with it, Candy ticket from there.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Ten billion dollars.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
I work in a bank and I can't imagine that
kind of bunny like that many Candy.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
No. Sorry.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
And the interesting part is is Genie is actually going
to remain governor even after the sale is complete, so
she's gonna be still representing the team. You know, last
year the Celtics were sold for six.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Point one billion.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Now we're talking about and let's be completely honest, he
already owned part of the makers, so this isn't like
he bought the whole thing. He already owned part of them.
So ten billion. They're saying that the eventual value the
team could be twelve billion or more, you know, just

(07:04):
because he's he bought a majority. Now to get him
and did ten billion dollars. But it just what it
does to me is that it tells me that there
is such a big diverse where there's there are some

(07:27):
people that are so rich and then there's the other
end of the spectrum, and it just really, uh.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
It amazes me. I mean, you know.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
What other teams could be worth, like, yeah, the Yankees,
the Dodgers, I mean, at some point are going to
be up there. What other big teams are going to
be worth that kind of money? And where does it stop?
Like where I mean does it stop? Like will it
come to the point where you won't have people one

(08:02):
per Like that's why there's groups that are buying them
more so nowadays.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Because not one person can afford them, you know.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
And that was the point I was making candy with
something like that, and it's a consortium now all of
these Yeah, and well realize, realize the big thing about
this is it's like so many people that are worth
like say the Elons and all that stuff worth that
however much. Remember it's based on value. They don't have
that much liquid, right, They're not buying this team's off

(08:35):
of liquid cash. They've never you can't get that much,
So you're getting it based off of everybody else's in
the first place. I mean remember Shack the sold four
percent of the Kings years ago, got about two.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Hundred million out of it.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, yeah, So.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's like you're just getting you're getting your end and
you and personally to me, if I Bill Maher also
sold the Hiss five percent of them and he got
about two hundred million two for the Mets. So it's
like a lot of these now are It's one thing
if you're like they talk about Bob Nutting and stuff

(09:12):
like that, but it's.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
One thing no matter what.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
The whole thing with Pittsburgh, they are the last of
a thought process of this is an owner that wants
to win. That's what the Pittsburgh wants. This is the
last of that because they're going for value and they're
going for money and be able to sell off their
end and stuff like that. Yeah, and see the pirates

(09:37):
act and the fans act like that because it is
one owner. But they ain't gonna be that way much longer.
It's going to be because the money is just so
much and there's not that much cash.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
That's a good point. Well, think about what's happening on torone,
but make believe garden, sports, entertainment and buying all that
out too. Yeah, and I'm only all the way take
the You're totally on target with that. So let's go.
Let's have a little fun this whole thing. What would
you buy? Or ten billion dollars candy? Ten billion? A painter?

Speaker 5 (10:06):
I mean, man, I don't know what I would buy? Like,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
I mean, you invested obviously? Is is the Lakers the
thing that invested?

Speaker 5 (10:17):
And I don't know.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
If I bought, i'd buy probably a couple of different sports,
you know, and probably some good businesses.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
I mean, I don't know. You know, is Apple for sale?
And how much would you you know?

Speaker 3 (10:31):
They'd be worth three hundred billion? They wouldn't give her ten.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Right, but you know what an investment like that, something
to make more money?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Okay, all right? What about you, Jacob?

Speaker 4 (10:46):
The Bears?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
What about George?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I would buy? You know, I love my baseball, the
Detroit Tigers and a boy.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Okay, okay, Scott? Would you buy?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I would buy a nice piece of property with a
lot of land out in Iceland. Iceland, it was so
serene out there. I didn't want to come back. I
really wanted to stay up there. I see why people
that get away from all this nonsense. Even though I
couldn't get new service on my phone and I'm giving

(11:23):
a like for a riot act about who's who's passing
and who is it? And then I enjoyed it up there.
It was still nice to be away from all this
or two weeks, it really was. I only I love
doing what we do here on the network. I zero
problem with that. And if that, if that wasn't and
I will act for money, not tell you what I
would do. I would if that's a little bit of

(11:43):
money in the Chelsea Football Club out in the United Kingdom,
because they're my new toy out in there.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Tell me, yes, I saw, I saw the pictures. You
guys were there. That's great, unbelievable, that's great.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
What I do.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's like, I do eight billion for that, and do
the other two billion. But after the new stadium for
the whole thing with the battery and the in Atlanta,
do that kind of a battery around the new Chicago
Bears Stadium and make money in real estate.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, I don't know. Chelsea was my new toy for
the end of the trip, and I don't like the Iceland.
I didn't really particularly like the last day when it
was raining and it was cold. But there's nothing about
Iceland I didn't like out there. It was just so
up there, and I was there before a lot of
people made it there. Candy will say, yeah, I know
you even stopped talking about that forever, but just let

(12:35):
everybody know. For all of u folks out there listening
for the first time, I had a lot of good
videos coming from the European trip there and Iceland, So
stay tuned. After we get back from Motown, we're gonna
start working on some of that stuff. So Iceland and
my new toy, the soccer team, Chelsea Football Club. I'll
take it. No big deal, all right, But since Kennedy
presented the question, I'll make sure everybody had it was

(12:56):
in an answer, and we'll see if Bully gets a
chance to answer to those same questions. That was fine,
no bigtail, Well place him next week. Next topic of
the night, Ryan Harper blast today players are being selfish.
It's all about what they do, it's not about what
the team does. Harper has an issue with today player
not knowing the history of the game. So all right, George,

(13:21):
what do you think.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Well, I have a lot of respect for mister Harper, obviously,
and I think when you take a look at what
he's saying, I mean, he's not too far from the truth.
I mean, there are there are You can't lump everybody
in Okay, you can't lump everybody on a even on
a team, and I mean, but so many of them,

(13:44):
we see that they lack of respect, they lack the
respect of the history of the game. And that's what
really bothers me too. So I'm glad Ron spoke out
because what happens is the whole me generation. When that
whole me generation started and kicked off, if you will,
in the NBA and in the Major League Baseball other
leagues as well. I mean, you saw what happened. You know.

(14:08):
They all want to be number one, they all want
to be uh paid the most. They all want to
have the spotlight on them and all the big contracts
for advertisements and stuff. But get back to reality, and
the reality is it takes a team, and it takes
every player on that team. I know everybody has superstars.
I'm not dumb. I know that. But what Harper is

(14:30):
kind of saying, is hey, look, you know, learn about
the history. My god, the guys that played this sport,
you know, the Bob Coosey's for example, and and and
the Larry Birds, as you always talk about, Jacob, and
what a great the Larry Bird, magic Johnson era, and
many many more. But the fact the matter is is
that more people, yet more players have a history and

(14:52):
a respect for that history. Know a little bit what
what what worked back then? Okay, now it's not going
to maybe be this right now, but nowhere you came
from nowhere. The position was of this sport that you're
participating in the NBA, for example, and you'll you'll be
better off for it, better educated for sure.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Good point, all right, Jacob, It's all started because Ace
Bailey over in. I believe utah v Ace Bailey. I
know it's with him because he didn't know John Stockton
was when he walked by him.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, and he said, and he said.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
To himself, and he said to himself that he was
born in two thousand blah blah blah blah, and two thousand,
two thousands, that he grew up with Kobe and Lebro
and all that kind of stuff like that. But see,
here's where the issue goes. I have tried and I will.
There are and you brought Larry Birds. Let me bring
up this other idea. Okay, I there are a bunch

(15:49):
of let's see influencers, mcs, rap guys, all that kind
of stuff like that, who look at they have their
own YouTube channels and they look at old Larry Bird
things and absolutely, oh my god, this trucker looks awesome
and that's our head. But it's like, oh my god,
he might I thought he was old. I thought he
was just a shooter. Oh my god, he's gotten the
swag and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
They do that.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I've told them over and over and over and over
to watch the seven games of the nineteen eighty four finals.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I've told them.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Too, and as I said, because it is the greatest
finals and we will ever see over. I've had one
take me up on it and he couldn't get through
five minutes. And you know why, it's because of the
the standard definition television and the short shorts. The it
is the idea of something like this they can't get past.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
They weren't born around that.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
We saw the short shorts, we saw standard death, we
saw blurringness on our TV. We saw the you know,
it's like we saw how Boston Garden was lit, and
we saw.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
How LA was lit.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
La was lit like a movie Boston Garden was lit
where he saw the fans give a point, and it's like,
we saw all those deals were dark in the stands
and do all that. You don't have that anymore. They're
not used to it. They're not used to standard depth,
they're not used to short shorts. They make fun of
it and they laugh at it. So they're not gonna
get up to the history because they're gonna their history

(17:19):
will go from like two thousand and three and four
two thousand and one, when the long shorts came in.
They're gonna stick right there. It's because what they're used to.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
What about you, Candy, What do you think? Candy? Andy? Wow, Candy, yep,
what do you think? Were you absorbing all of that?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:46):
I was?

Speaker 6 (17:47):
I was.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Repeated again. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, okay, I'll pull a sponge out of the kitchen.
The minster she absorbs the next one, I guarantee it.
But what do the players actually know the history of
the game.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Oh, We've talked about this numerous times. Before.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
Most most players do not know the history and can't
go back and tell you some of the greats that
have played before them, whether it be baseball, basketball, football,
any of them. We've talked, We've talked with the young
players and they can't name some of the big names.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
It's it's sad.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
But then again, do they know history of the United States?
Are they even United States citizens playing in here? Do
they know about our history or do they?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
You know?

Speaker 6 (18:44):
So it's sad because somebody paved the way before them,
and it would be nice if they knew that who
they were.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Well, you know what, I'm going back to topic, can
feel with this one. George knows where I'm going with this.
Mike Moroth, Troy Person will remember that story. I was
asking Mike Morock if you knew who Mickey Loland didn't
know he was. Troy Purstall said, you don't know who
Mickey Lolach is. No, I don't know. I'm gonna tell you.
Troy personal gave him a history lesson like you wouldn't believe.

(19:18):
And I said, yeah, so I have to Troy. A
lot of these guys don't know the history games now
they don't.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Well remember this, Scott we all have gray hair, so
we thought.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, Well, on Monday, I saw a lot of my
gray hair get cut off of it. It looked like
white and silver before I came back to Detroit. But
I'm with you, But let me tell you that when
I was talking to Troy Percival over at Tropic Canada
Fields and Mike Moroth didn't know who Mickey Lowland was
and they were wearing the number twenty nine, it became

(19:49):
a bit more magnified. But Ron Harper's that on a
lot of these players don't know came before them and
why they're earning all this money. Ever heard of taint
the lay? They never knew who take till they was
they Now now they're reaping the benefits of everything that
the modern enda has to offer.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
I heard one guy say one Scott, what the heck
is Who's Laurence O'Brian, Why is this? Why is this
named after some irishmen Larry? They had no clue who
the former commissioners were. But that's kind of a funny
thing I heard as of aside a couple of years
back from one of the players. Really dumb, but do

(20:29):
some research you'll know who Lawrence O'Brien is.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, let me tell you, these player should be able
to do research. We could have their cell phones with
them in their pocket, let alone by the locker room.
So the research is a lot easier now than they entergy.
Yeah that too, but they should be able to do
a lot more now than they ever have. All right,
next topic before we go on to the station brink
shake Gilderness. Alexander had opportunity to get a five year,

(20:55):
three hundred million dollar contract, but instead he's going to
take a four year deal worth two hundred and eighty
five million. And if that isn't enough, his teammate chet
Holmgren get two hundred and fifty million for five hundred
and thirty five million for both of these guys. So
you know the fact that it is is he could
have had that three eighty million in twenty twenty six,

(21:15):
he took the lower amount of money. Now, Oklahoma City
has a really good nucleus for a while. Don't take candy.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
They do they do normally you go to me, last,
go to me last.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Okay, Well, I don't know. I have to make sure
that I had to make sure we can keep you
with it.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
So I'm here I'm here, all right, we'll go.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
To We'll go to Jacob. That was an old trick,
by the way, I learned from Colonel K many years
ago when I was in here. You know, I'm having
fun with the candy. Everybody gotta get the Colonel K treatment. Tonight.
I had a hard time keeping attention with the guy
that only wrote five novels. He called on me, But
after a while we got along. God, I gotta be
for the class. I could say another story about it

(21:57):
down the road, but I used this one time to
stay for a week, and I got the message, stay
with the program. Okay. Well, I haven't feeling that Andy
will stay with the program because she'll do a station
breaks when we're done. All right, Cake, you know where
I'm going with it. They go, okay, see except for
a while.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, in a way, Shay for sure, because he's he's
stayed healthy.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
I'm not sure about Chet and.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
I and I still don't understand how the I absolutely
still do not understand how the parents named him Chet.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
He sayds like a seventy year old at.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
A blue dress festival, right, that name for a young
kid like that, But for home grin, I'm not sure
about him because he's already gotten but he's already that size,
and he's already had been out for a year of
the foot entry.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Right, It's like they're doing this and now see this
is what owners do.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
They do it the right now why you can't do
it and they're afraid that he might get healthy and
go somewhere else, you know, so you can lock him down.
The problem is, it's kind of like the whole situation
with Tyler for football, Tyler Schuck and Michael Pennix, they
went out three and two times in college alone, you know,

(23:08):
for the year, and it's like if you're trying, but
then but then they'll have short term they'll have this
short memory. When they want to be able to lock
him down, they have one time only and look what happens,
and then they can get hurt again. Chet Holger, I'm
not sure. I'm really not sure, just because that height
and he and for his height, he plays so diggy.

(23:29):
It's like, for instance, I loved Bill Walton and the
way he moved, the way he moved on to the thing,
especially as the Celtics, and yet he had foot problems
and he and he had the live speet history chet
Holdinger plays hard and he's gonna and he's already been
out for a year with a foot injury. I don't
know how many how long does it take for he

(23:50):
gets another injury and then they're having to pay him anyway.
But they'll be great. I just don't know if they're'll
be set for many more of the titles.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
One of that group, one more than they had with
Kevin Durant, George continuing, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Oh yeah, and I and uh, Jacob is spot on.
I mean, sta my god, averaging thirty points a game
practically this season. Obviously he's quite a bit more talented
than chet Holmgrum, but you know, chet you know where
there's fifteen points a game and was a very very

(24:27):
influential part of that Oklahoma City Thunder run to the championship.
But I agree, I mean, you know, you're comparing, you know,
two guys here of different abilities, obviously in different quality characteristics,
And I agree, I mean I have seen this two before.

(24:48):
Like you said that owners, once they get that first championship,
they obviously they hope for more. I mean, but they
are sometimes a little bit more generous, and you know,
I want to make sure these guys are signed, locked
in for X amount of years. It happens all around us,
and the NBA is no different. I mean, obviously every
team's got it set of you know, must have players,

(25:11):
But there's no arguing with the fact that the thunder
have a bright future and it was a great, great series.
It was a great run this year by Indiana and
to a lesser extent, the Knicks. But there's gonna be
There's gonna be a lot of players, not just these
two that want their great salary increases. So it's not

(25:34):
gonna just be these guys. But again, Sga is unbelievable.
I mean, this guy's a superstar, no question about it. Chat.
I really haven't followed much of Chet's career too much,
but again, he was an integral part of this championship season.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
We know that, you know, yeah, I know that. So
the reality of the situation is at Sam Prince, he's
done a good job with that team, he really had.
And I'm take up on this one. I understand giving
Shade the cash, and he could even even have more
money if he had he gone next a year at

(26:12):
the original figure that I just sent out there for
In that being the three hundred and eighty million bucks,
but he also realizes he wants to win championships there
as well. In Oklahoma, City's a small market, so a
petitive that they lock up a lot of their players
over a sustainable period of time so that they can
keep it rolling. So I see both sides with Chet.
Because of the injury the first year, they think fits

(26:34):
a little bit of a stretch what they want to
keep their contact. I totally get it, all right, can't
to go ahead.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
Chet is twenty three years old. He was the number
two selection in the twenty twenty two draft. He suffered
the second major injury of his NBA career after he
broke his pelvis in early November. He also missed his
entire rookie season due to a laguermentier in his right foot.
He missed time because.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Of a hip injury already.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
And I mean he's seven foot one center. Yes, he
has done some amazing things, but that's a lot of
money for someone. I mean, he blocked eleven shots in
the Finals alone, including five in Game seven, the most
by any player in an NBA Finals Game seven since

(27:26):
blocks became official in nineteen seventy four. He's one of
just three players all time with one hundred and fifty
made three pointers and two hundred and fifty blocks through
the first two seasons.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
So I'm sorry, go ahead, no, go ahead, go ahead cha.
You know the thing.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
About that, this is why I don't like to have
no role playing anymore, because there's not roles in the NBA.
Why I don't like to have to no role play
because if he got himself hurt again.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
You can make him into the mark Eaton.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
You can just move right under the basket and the
mark because he can block shot and he's really, really,
really good at He had like three or four game
this year, and and I'm like, that's what you If
he would hurt himself and he slowed down for that,
with his with his ability to be able to block
shots and put that defense, you could have just made.

(28:17):
But we have no role players anymore, and they and
the coaches don't put the coach a role And that's
what I don't like.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, good point to the way around. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
He contested ninety three percent of opponents' shot attempts as
the closest defender, the second highest rate in the league
since the start of last season, and led the NBA
and field goal percentages allowed on layups and dunks last
season among players to contest one hundred plus shots or more.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, well, all the numbers you're reading on Candy, the
biggest trick is keep his kid on the floor. He
bort the money. If he isn't, then those stats don't
lean off a lot going in to the ability to
defend their title. All right, non sports topics of the night.
I know we like to go ahead and get to those.
So we're going back to the Netherlands, Candy, I know,
I know that place all too well. In the Netherlands,

(29:11):
employee can be answered up to two years while we're
receiving seventy percent of their salary as sick pay. Oh
my god, can you imagine that they had that in
the United States? My goodness, seventy percent? Really seriously, really,
and now that we have somebody that's in the financial business. Okay,

(29:32):
The US Treasury Department will officially end the penny production
at twenty twenty six. The penny production at twenty twenty
serres kind of are we gonna replace them with anything? Candy?
What do you think? Can you imagine the penny not
being there? Who would they use, so they gotta route
up these numbers. I don't even know. I'm lost. Start
with the nether lens of first, one little thing about

(29:54):
the Netherlands I was impressed about because I couldn't believe
how many bicycles that they were riding out there, and well,
how many bicycles About a million bicycles run a candy
you remember.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
That there was, Yeah, it was almost more bicycles than
they had people.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
It was.

Speaker 6 (30:08):
It was unbelievable how many bicycles. And that's how they
get around that and boat because there's so many canals
over in the Netherlands.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
But now back to the financial question about the penny,
do you have an answer for that one?

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Wait a minute, Can I talk a little bit about
the actual sick pay and employees are their employees In
the Netherlands, employees are entitled to up to two years
of sickly with a minimum of seventy percent of their salary.
Employers are obligated to continue paying wages during this period,
with many companies opting to pay one hundred percent of

(30:45):
their salary in the first year. This system aims to
support employees well being in recovery while ensuring that they
have time to reintegrate into the workforce. O. You know,
that is a huge benefit for them. Every country is

(31:06):
different and so you have to take the good and
the bad. And when you're comparing apples to oranges, you
got to compare apples to apples, and not just but
kudos to them. And as far as the penny is concerned,
we all know that there are how many places that

(31:27):
are cashless society already. You go to stadiums and it's cashless,
So the penny is useless in a cast cashless society.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
You see pennies being thrown all over.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
You see them, you know, you walk through how many
parking lots and you'll see a penny here or a
penny there, And actually it costs the government more to
make a penny than a penny is actually worth.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
So do I do I understand it? Yes? Do I
see the nickel coming soon down the repace?

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yes? Well we have the right person on the show
over there. Yeah. As far as the Netherlens is concerned,
that was pretty interesting to sell the bicycles running around
As far as the pennything, and I couldn't give an
answer anywhere close to candy. So I'll say my voice
when I need it, probably for the next topic. But
she's right. The cash list places, certainly the gate, the

(32:22):
needs and penny area chores.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Go ahead. Well, I'm glad to hear that you guys
had a nice time there, you know, the Europeans. Yeah,
it's a different type style for a lot of people,
a lot of countries that is. I remember one of
my one of my brother in law brothers in law, Phil,
he went there and he told me how clean it
was in Europe, how clean it was in Scandinavia. And

(32:46):
he says, man, I come home and I see this,
and the streets are dirty here in Metro Detroit. Blah
blah blah. But the fact of the matter is is
they do have a different respect for their environment. They
have due respect for their proper pretty whatever. And like
you said, they're cutting back on emissions, they're cutting back
on all the cars there. Some of these countries are

(33:07):
very small, as we know, and the Netherlands included, So
it's interesting to hear that from you guys. You know
that the bicycle is one of the most favored forms
of transportation, and I think we're spoiled in America. We're spoiled.
Everybody wants to get out and run and get a
new car right when they are able to drive. Some people,

(33:30):
some people wait a little longer. Some of them get
them as gifts. But to see that, and you saw
it firsthand, I like that, I do. And that sounds
like a really beautiful country, the Dutch, the Netherlands, as
far as the penny goes. Yeah, and Candy, you alluded
to it right at the end of your statement that

(33:50):
the nickel is costing us even more than the money
we lose on the penny in manufacturing the penny. So
whether it's Trump or whoever is the president, whoever's gonna
put their eyes on the next coin to go. The
speculation is that it will be the nickel. But the penny. Yeah,
you know, and you're right you said about the parking lot,

(34:11):
you know, and you see a shiny penny, they're supposed
to pick it up for good luck. That's an old
wise tale, you know. Pick that penny out, put it away,
stick it somewhere in your pocket and keep it. That's
that your good luck charm. You hear all kinds of
things like that. I'm not too thrilled about it going,
but I can understand it's time has run its course.
It really has.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Yeah, hey, Jacob, Well, for one thing, if you want
to be able to use something for pennies over the time,
you can get a bunch of rolls of pennies and
hoard them and they need to use them for weapons.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Put but knuckles.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Here's the deal. Also, it wouldn't do. You want to
know why it works in the Netherlands and it doesn't work,
and we're not gonna I mean, I'm not gonna go
into politics and I'm going to go in a common
sense thing when it comes the humans. You want to
know why it would work in the United States that
will work in the Netherlands as far as with the
two years and all that kind of uff, because here's
the thing with it to the because in the Netherlands,

(35:13):
how big are there like in Europe for instance, how
big are their flats? How what do they own? Not
they are in comparison to us, they're a minimalist country.
They're whatever you can be able to do two years.
And you ought to know what they're gonna do for
those two years for their recovery and doing stuff that
they're gonna go to museums. They're gonna go hike, they're

(35:36):
gonna do the bicycle as you will. To be able
to do stuff like that, they don't. They buy what
they do need, their food, their everything. That's all stuff
like that. You do this in the United States, and
you're gonna get a bunch of lazy people that buy
bye bye bye bye. Especially if you said cars, which
depreciates the menu. You go off the lot and it's

(35:59):
like and the biggest thing about and everything that you
buy will appreciate the man you take out of a package.
You go off with a lot. That's what the Americans do,
and then they throw away the trash. So you couldn't
do that here in the United States because.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
People are too spoiled.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
If you made the United States like Europe, it's already
way too big for that. And the people and a
bunch of generations of people that just get things all
the time.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Look at look at just a I'm trying to think
a just.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Like any coffee shop. Look at the it's not just
a coffee shop. Look at the sandwiches. Look at everything
you get. Everything is piles on the I mean the McDonald's,
the Big Mac, every everything, the extra everything's extra in America.
It's like go to Europe. You go to Europe, you

(36:51):
go to London and stuff. You can't get ice in
your drink. They don't use that kind of thing, that
kind of water. It's like here we loaded. I don't
like ice personally, but a lot of people do. It's
a different world in that type. So it works there
because the people have the minest to.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Make it work.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
You know. The interesting and part of what everybody says
here talk about carts appreciate. I don't know how much
a bicycle to it would appreciate out there. That's curious
of the matter. Yeah, well I will dog matter. We
have a station break ahead.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
Back to you, Scott.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
All right, two more tops get to tonight. Deon Sanders
get this. We talked about them yesterday on Inside the
Fiction mentioned a little bit of a dating history and
that says makes a big league debut on May nineteen
eighty nine with a New York eight. The later that
year made his NFL debut, kicking off an incredible two

(39:03):
sport career. So what are your thoughts, Candy about Deona
Sanders a two ford athlete. Well, we see what he's
trying to do with Colorado, but let's just go back
in time. Fact that he played for the Yankees and
he fact that they played football.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
You know, there's a there's.

Speaker 6 (39:18):
Only a handful of people that had actually tried playing
multiple sports. I think it honestly is better for their career.
I've been one of those that have said that kids
should not be.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Focused only on one.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
Sport, that it helps to develop different muscles. You use
different muscles, you don't strain certain muscles as much because
you're constantly only doing one motion, whether it be a picture.
I mean, you look at you look at the pictures
these days, and we're talking about they're already having Tommy
John surgery. Uri Prez his rookie season and he went

(40:00):
down already with And I think a lot of it
has to do with the main focus of as parents
when their kids are starting to grow up and they
start to decide, you know, I love baseball, and then
they only play baseball and they don't play some of
these other sports. They're not using all of their different muscles,

(40:23):
and they're constantly using the same muscles because they're constantly
practicing the same sport over and over and over again.
I think that's leading up to some of the injuries.
So Dion was good for him that he was a
multi sport and he could make it in the multi sports.
There's only been a handful of people that have done him.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
He did it.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
Oh, I'm going to try and think of some of
the other ones that have done it.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Well, okay, okay, I mean well the only the other
ones that did it. I thought it was good at
it with Bo Jackson. Oh yeah, yeah, Jackson to me,
and a lot of the good ones that made it. Unfortunately,
those two they didn't. They didn't. They weren't able to
play both to them for a long time. Ultimately, another
one that actually showed bay ball over football is Kirk

(41:13):
Gibson of the Tigers. So those are a few of
the teams that stand out. Kurt Gibson obviously was a
wide receiver I believe for Michigan State. Notted to play
with the Tigers, you know, so all much longer his
baseball career ended. So that's a good point in Indiano
where you were leading to it. The point is that
Dion Sanders, to me, of all the met people I mentioned,
I think was the best athlete of the group because

(41:34):
he was fast is what he was. And when you
play the quarnerback position and you could go out there
and play baseball gave him. John Elway, believe it or not,
was prepared to do it too, but he used at
his leverage to go ahead and get out of Baltimore
so that he could play with Dever, but he used
the Yankee for a period of time as well. So
go ahead, George.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah. And the other one is the local guy, Rick
Leech University of Quarterback and then he played baseball. Remember
Scott in the in the in the in the American
League for a while. Yeah. But when you look at
the total picture here, I mean prime time did it
and he listened. You know, you just look at this.
Fourteen NFL seasons, you know, won two Super Bowls. He

(42:19):
played for Atlanta, San Francisco, Dallas, Washington, Baltimore and then
Major League Baseball, as you mentioned, the Yankees and the Braves,
the Reds, some great franchises, San Francisco Giants.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
He did get to one World Series in ninety two,
but they didn't win it. But yeah, this is he,
you know, talk about a throwback player that that was
so talented. He he was, he really was. And I
know that his career in both sports was was off
the charge. As far as I'm concerned. He's not a

(42:52):
superstar in both sports, but boil Boy, he contributed mightily
to his teams. He really did. I've always admired him
and being able to do the over the course of
several seasons is quite remarkable, And like you said, it's
not too often that this happens. Oh, and I kind
of do an honorary mention Jacob jacob'donald, NBA referee and

(43:13):
American League umpire.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
O'donald mentioned out of that one because I was talking
about an athlete, not an umpire. Oh okay, okay, yeah,
that's sorry. You put it up there. Now you have
to figure out what the hashtag is kidding.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
But yeah, yeah, lots of admiration for me on what's
been said about his careers.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, I thought about Ripley too, but I think I
have one for you.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
I who you come up with him? Forty six years?
Does that after a while? Okay?

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Bo Jackson himself said that you couldn't do the two
sport athlete anymore because there's too much competition too sports.
You can be benched on two sports right becaus of
everybody else.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
It's the unfortunate part.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
But but the biggest thing with it was I always
believe that with with the Falcons getting Dion Sanders by itself,
knowing that the Braves eventually got Dion and everything right,
the city of Atlanta can find more ways to screw
up the most perfect golden dumb the goose you could

(44:23):
ever see in your darma.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Really, oh my god, like.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
If they would have just all they've had to do
is build around that. And he stays there and he
he enters in Michael Vick. Now imagine that part the
last of Deayon Sanders at the beginning of Michael Vick.
And that's the point I make, is that the Falcons

(44:50):
can mess up a I mean, they.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
Can mess up the biggest golden goose alive.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
They really do.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
And then it's and in truth, it should if they're
going to do the two sports, that should have been
since the minute he went into the brakes, he should
have been both spots for good. Everybody knew he wanted money,
everybody knew what primetime was, but.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I maybe it was.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
Because the city wasn't as big then.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Now it is built for something like this, just to
be honest, it's built for this this kind of world.
Now the way Atlanta is, But you could have built
it faster with something like that, especially the nineteen ninety
one Falcons and the way that they were. It's like
and the kind of and the potential star power of
that team, and I mean they they were like Alan

(45:36):
iverson of their day, the way they changed things, and
it's just like and then they and it was dead
in two years.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
And it's like.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Atlanta just keeps They've kept doing it. They keep doing it.
And they could have they could have had Don for
a lifetime.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Just all they had to do.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Is pay.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Okay, all right, and guess what you want, Candy.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
So I want to just add, yes, we talked about
Bo Jackson. The one thing Dion Sanders did. The reason
why he was so unique is because he played for
both NFL and MLB simultaneously and even playing in both
leagues on the same day. Now, there's a couple other

(46:25):
names that I'm gonna throw out there that you can
hashtag mister Scott.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
One being Brian Jordan.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
He had a successful career both playing baseball and football.
Dave Winfield played both basketball and baseball. He was drafted
into the n B A a B.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
A MLB and NFL.

Speaker 6 (46:49):
Danny Ainge played professional baseball also while having a distinguished
NBA career. We all know Jim Thorpe also played professional
baseball alongside he did track and field and football as well.
Michael Jordan obviously played baseball and basketball. And we can't

(47:11):
forget the latest one. Mister Tim Tebow played NFL and
baseball as well.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I got one more for you, Dave, Dave de Buscher,
remember that name, Dave de Buscher a pitcher for the
White Sox, I believe, and then played for the Pistons
and the Knicks. Dave de Buscher.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Well, let's go ahead, let's go to the chat room.
Now we have a lot of activity, Katie, go ahead,
read out Ciberruci's I like this one.

Speaker 6 (47:43):
I would buy the Florida Panther Hockey Club and twenty
thousand teslas to give away.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
The Actually he might be able to. Then we see
the prices rate, Katy, when we were over on the cruise,
you know what is this maybe one of your better
here coming up with that twenty thousand tesla's going with
the Florida might What if he's in the ballpark with
that number, I don't even know And Brian pettittt thanks
a lot for joining us. I appreciate it so great stuff. Okay,

(48:12):
everybody use get their take on Dion Sanders everybody and
my mission anybody. So in my town, I'm gonna actually
start off with this one though. Here's what we got
going for you. I can even see these articles in
South Florida Triview. The first one I have is Florida
State University had an additional football game times and the
first one here, lets you go to the May thirtieth,

(48:34):
twenty twenty five edition of the South Florida Tribune online
Florida State Football's home game on September six against East Texas.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
A and M.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Yes, they have an East Texas A and M. We'll
begin at twelve pm and air on the a SEC network.
It wasn't Now it's okay, So go to the May thirtieth,
twenty twenty five for FSU's football and you'll be able
to see the other two games. The other thing we're
gonna mention is Michael Kelly accept the same role as
athletics right there at the US Naval Academy. Did a

(49:02):
great job, believe in the us f pole. So those
are my two I prefer Mike Town. What about you, Jacob.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Well, let's see, I'm here in Atlanta right now. They're
already talking about selling off with the Battle with the
Braids at this point in time, already, which it's unbelievable
searing how many division titles they've had, you know, and
all that kind of stuff and the struggles that they've
had right there, and I'm just like, see, I was

(49:32):
joking with my nephew that they were going to trade
off Counya because I was just thinking of a distraction thing.
But they might very well do it. They might very
well do it. And it's like they're gonna send themselves
for years and and then you can lose, and then
you can lose Snicker, which he's been with the it's
not just that the brains.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
He's been with the.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
Organization all of life. So it's gonna be something completely different.
So it's interesting to see that they're probably gonna have
a set win year. I would never have believed it's
started this year.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
George.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Well, now, there's quite a few things in Detroit going on,
I guess, but one of the ones that is rather
interesting is you might have heard, of course that the
WNBA is expanding and Detroit is getting a team again.
And one of the sites that they're considering to build
their practice facility in Detroit is the old former Uniroyal

(50:30):
Tire Company site, which if any of you remember in Detroit,
there's a bridge that goes to an island called Belle
Isle and right near that bridge, on a street called
Jefferson is this prime property. And believe it or not,
this property once once the city was told Jerome Bettis
was going to come back and build sky scrapers and

(50:55):
housing units and department towers on this property. Well it
never happened. So if mister Gores and and all the investors,
including Sheila Fordham and all the other investors in this project,
you know, approve of this, it would be a wonderful
addition to Detroit's waterfront by the Detroit River and by

(51:18):
the city He's uh famed island of Belle Isle. Is
to put this practice facility on the on the site
that they're thinking about. The other thing is kind of
a sad note. And and and I know Scott will
remember this. We used to every summer have a boat
race in Detroit and these boats were fantastic. These were

(51:38):
called hydroplanes, unlimited hydro planes. And yet on a down note,
another summer is coming and going and there will be
no racing on the Detroit River, which was one of
the toughest and most exciting river courses for these powerful
boats called the unlimited hydro planes, Miss Miss Budwise, Sir,

(52:00):
and and so many other great boats. There usually were
about ten, ten or twelve of them at the most times.
But Detroit again cannot get the money, they can't get
the sponsorship. Nobody wants to come forward to bring back
the gold Cup. It's called the Gold Cup of hydroplane
racing in Detroit. And that's that's a downer for me

(52:21):
because there used to be a summer tradition to have
those races right near the same area I'm talking about
Belle Isle and East Jefferson.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Well, when you and I worked at the wh and
Deep Jenna with on as a guest until he was
something that was killed, So.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I remember that. Yes, they were.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Big back then, Jim Hendrick, I think past. Yeah, Sanmerson
had gotten to that part. Yet, all right, can they
give me those stop working on your countertowns?

Speaker 6 (52:51):
So well, the mighty Brewers with their whole payroll of
one hundred and eight million dollars swept swept the LA
Dodgers that have a payroll of three hundred and forty
million dollars.

Speaker 7 (53:13):
Really a small market team taking down such a big
market and big payroll.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
Kudos to the Brewers.

Speaker 6 (53:33):
Now, as for the Milwaukee Bucks, I'm not exactly sure
what you're doing in this offseason. All I'm gonna say
is I hope you're not angering Giannis too much because
he has been faithful to Milwaukee. Milwaukee has been faithful
to him. But and here's where I'm gonna say, here's

(53:55):
one of those that he hasn't been vocal about coming
out and saying, oh I need him to stay on
the team, and him to stay on the team, and
that like some of the other superstars. But in the
same breath, Milwaukee, he is the face of your franchise
and you need to make sure you keep him happy.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
However, that is okay, all right, great point, totally wrong.
Final topic of the night. Indiana Pacers assistant coach Jenny
Boucek is only one of fifteen women coach again on
an NBA team coach in the NBA Finals and raising
her daughter as a single mom. That's impressive, isn't it, Candy?

Speaker 5 (54:40):
That is very impressive.

Speaker 6 (54:42):
I'm just waiting for the first female NBA head coach
to be named.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Yeah, she thought that was gonna be Becky Hammond, but
I thought it would be all right, Jacob with your thoughts.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
This is the thing.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
We've got this right now, I would say about Becky Hammond. Also,
like here's an other thing too. Quit going after and
I'm saying this quick, going after Don Staley. She coaches college.
She coaches college. She has not coached men. I mean,
quit doing this based off of an idea or we
have to be double why it's what's gonna happen is
like it's gonna be like the whole kim Ink situation

(55:17):
with with the Miami. It's like, you get something along
those lines, and you're going to get somebody you get
something along those lines. She got them to a playoff.
She built it into a playoff. Look what they did
with her, and they're going to do the same.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Like this.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
If you're going to get a new NBA head coach
for a woman, make it somebody who's actually coached men.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Becky Hammon, who what was this like? Jamie Jamie, what
the lady the dumb for Indiana. Yeah, yeah, let her
be her. Let it be anything.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
It's like I mean, if it works, it works. They
quit going after. They keep talking about, well when you
go after Don Santy. No, she's the coach. She has
coached the college, and she has coached college women's basketball
in the most brilliant manner. But those finals and with
those wins and with those everything, do not get that wrong.

(56:15):
But she has not coached pro She has not even
coached w NBA. She has not coached men. And the
ones that we have talked about have And.

Speaker 4 (56:26):
And there's the thing.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
If you're in that fraternity or sorority, if we can
add to it or whatever we say, if you're in
that world, then you're gonna then you're in that thing
where they say she's that good.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
She knows how to coach men, and she knows how
to get them, and they listen to her.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
You that's where I'm saying, right now, get one of
them if you're gonna do that. And we said Becky
Ham and she she coached the summer league to a title.
That so she coached men. And that's the point about it.
It's like, go get somebody who's already done it.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Yeah, I thought for sure she had a shot at
that San Antonio job. I really do. One other name
worth bringing up would be Nancy Liberman too. I think
that if there's any person took both sides, it would
have been Nancy Leberman. But that's just another name, George.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
I played with men and the pro and semipro leagues,
so she knows how to deal with men too, exactly.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
That's my point. Thanks for making it for me, Go ahead, George.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Yeah, Nancy Lieberman of course.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
At one time she was involved with the Detroit Shock
as well, and then, as you guys mentioned, the assistant
coach uh with Sacramento Kings. But no, I mean, yeah,
Becky is the one that I kind of had my
eyes on, you know, and I think she, you know,
did a good job in the summer League there, and
also she had been working to uh obviously for San Antonio.

(57:54):
You know, it's it's an opportunity. The door is open now,
not as wide open as some people would hope. But
the fact of the matter is is that the Jenny's
appearance Boushek as assistant coach of the Pacers is great
to see in the NBA finals. Before that, I think
she was with Sacramento and also the Dallas Mavericks for

(58:16):
a while. You know, it's a great opportunity to see
and I really think it will be a little bit
more commonplace. We do need to see if they can
become a head coach in the NBA, of course, that
would be wonderful. And one of the other things, like
you just got to slide this in, guys and Candy,

(58:37):
that what really bothered me is the fact that the
NBA is now have at least a half dozen female officials.
Did you, guys know that not single one of them
made the playoffs this year? Not a single female referee.
And I'm sorry, Silver, that's a bonehead on your part
and your officiating staff that you did not see the

(58:58):
wise And I'm not saying give her a job, get her,
give her a playoff appearance, but the NBA referees. You've
done a good job the NBA developing these great women officials,
but my god, they couldn't even make the playoffs. That
bothered me. But anyways, that's the topic point, George. Assistant

(59:20):
coaches and it's great to see the women there.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
I agree, And George, you brought that up with the officials.
This is what I have to say all the time.
And Candy's heard me say this before, like that, with
all these type of things. A lot of things that
they do is a pandering and the boneheaded stupid thing
to get people that keep from having the mobs going.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
And you've heard me say that before.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
It's not real.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
This is the thing.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
If the NBA women officials are that good, you put them.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
In the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
If people believe that, you put them in the playoffs,
If they believed in them, as coach is truly, you
put them out there. Everybody does this to avoid mobs
and avoid just to avoid the issue that they have.
They don't believe in it. They don't believe in it.
They don't believe in the deal. And it's like I
think of I think of Bruce arians he was the

(01:00:18):
first coach to put women in there, because you know
what it was. It wasn't a pandering thing, it wasn't
a thing. It's like she knows her stuff the end,
and it's like you just and Adam Silver needs to
be the same. They know their stuff the end. Everything
the end. There doesn't need to be excuse me, there
doesn't need to be mob ruled. There doesn't need to

(01:00:40):
be anything. We are changed world. Just do it or don't.
Just don't be a liar about it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
Well, let me make one point very clear about Jenny Bussey.
He works with Rick Carlisle. If there's anybody that could
probably be the mentor of a female coach, Rick Carlisle
is definitely the type of guy who could do it
any nearly history by being able to become one of
just a few coaches and win a championship to sparate teams.
So Rick Carlisle is a heck of a coach. Albe

(01:01:08):
and I know them pass are making the whole show.
Chances we're not gonna talk about that tonight. But Rick Carlile,
Jenny Blusset, she she's like best bet to probably get
one of these jobs if it does come about. We'll
see how this one plays. And that's really want I
want to go any clothing thoughts on this before we
wrap up the show.

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):
Nope, no, I talked about it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Well, we'll go to our last day of break and
then we'll call it a night. We have a couple
of shows tomorrow night as well, so go ahead, Candy,

Go ahead, Jacob lead off.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
This is the final part of it, right, Yeah, I'll
let you well, I've.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
Got some of the perfect and then I've got to
but i gotta just take it off.

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
I gotta take it out after this here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Okay, I've been watching one woman and I'm watching Ben
Shelton right now, and this kid and I've been watching
the last couple of years. This kid's exciting. Do not
get that wrong. So This is not an insult toward him.
This is the coach and me. I wish I had
a chance to coach a kid like this because so

(01:04:09):
exciting to watch play and he's got a lot of energy.
But if I was to have a chance at coaching
this guy, first thing I'm absolutely going to say is
conserve the energy. You try to annihilate everything. It is

(01:04:30):
your energy, it is your youth, it is all that.
But here's the issue with this. One of the other
players from our past that is about to be retired.
I can tell you that Grigor Dimitrov, he was leading
two sets to none. Again, you know, they almost have
an upset. I guess the number one player and then

(01:04:52):
his torus.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
Peck while he was up and the other guy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
And goes on.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
He he used to annihilate every ball, and now he
has had to get out of He has had to
withdraw from the last five Grand Slams because of injuries.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
He used to annihilate everything. This is gonna happen to you, Ben.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
This is one of those where I would love to
be able to get you some top spin. I'd love
to be able to get you some touch, to be
able to you know, to use your You have great power,
and I don't want you to lose the great power,
but use it to finish game matches, not gonna get
back and forth over and over and over again and
annihilate everything because you're gonna get yourself hurt. And that's

(01:05:37):
a lot of athletes also, and because then it shows
the idea of life that we are. Everything is on
TikTok and everything is on YouTube, and people just want
the twenty second reels and we have. It is a problem.
It's like you could if you give yourself more variety,

(01:05:58):
you win, but the athletes care or do they want
to get on reels, and that's where the problem lies.
And I feel for this because the injuries are going
to build up on this kid, and I just say,
I wish I could be able to coach him before
it's too late, and of course I never will.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
When you get a point, all right, want you everybody
they hold, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
Well I am on substack now, I was just under
the old pal.

Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
