7:27 I suggest you go to the archive at WMH radio dot org and check

7:59 I'm committed to one one way deal, that's right. That hasn't always been

8:03 the case with you though correct it has not in the past. But I'm

8:07 settled down, and you're settling down. You've you've you're no longer selling your

8:13 wild oats as they say, Nope, nope, nope, settling down down

8:18 with my wonderful woman n angie. Wow, very nice. Congratulations app ob

8:24 one one year on a second try. I have to Thanksgiving and really yeah

8:31 in November. Oh wow, oh, congratulations, And we have a call.

8:35 Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Who's this, Matt, It's

8:39 Polly. Oh it's a poly c from Retrospectrum Radio with poly C. Yeah.

8:46 So I just want to clarify something. You can be a ladies man

8:50 and be in a relationship with somebody, Boddy. A ladies man doesn't necessarily

8:54 mean you're out and about gallivanting. His gallivanting days are over. Apparently he

9:01 is settling down from what I hear. M Well, very good. Mikey's

9:11 Mikey, Mikey's. I was just go ahead. I was just had to

9:16 pull over here. Ah, yes, Mike's Mike. He's been very quiet.

9:20 I think I think now that he's settling down, he's getting a little

9:24 bashful. No, Mike, listen, Mike comes in and he sings the

9:30 karaoke to the woman of his dreams. Yes, and he you know,

9:35 he even changes the words up. I don't know if you noticed that when

9:37 he did that a couple of weeks ago, and he you know, he

9:41 takes her out dining and everything. He's a ladies man. M See.

9:45 I always took ladies man to mean something a little different, though. When

9:50 when I hear the term ladies man, I don't think of monogamy. I

9:54 think of someone who's out gallivantin as you put it. Yeah, no,

10:01 that's not the way I've ever interpreted it, interpreted, interpreted that interpretated.

10:07 Well, how do you so, what does it mean to you? Just

10:09 heterosexual? You're a ladies man. A ladies man is a man who can

10:15 win the heart and the love of a woman. He's a lady he's a

10:18 ladies man. There are some men out there that women can't stand to be

10:22 around, and there are men like like Mike Martino. It's the ladies man.

10:28 This woman loves him, all right. I am going to google the

10:31 phrase ladies man and see what I can find here, because we have a

10:35 different, uh, we have a different idea of what that phrase means.

10:41 I mean, I don't know, Mikey, keep up the good work.

10:43 It says like you're romancing the hell out of her. She loves you.

10:46 Thank you polish here I will continue doing that. There's a there's a movie

10:52 from two thousand called The Ladies Man, which I don't care about. A

10:56 movie. I don't care about a movie. Check the definition of ladies all

10:58 right, I'm going a Mirriam Webster. But the film it starts Tim Meadows.

11:05 It looks great. Okay, uh okay, no, no ladies Man

11:11 with a Tim Tim Meadows from remember from Saturday Night Live. It's it's like

11:16 his one movie. Okay, now the Merriam the Miriam Webster's definition, Paul,

11:22 I will say, lines up with what you were saying. So you

11:26 were right. According to Miriam Webster, they define ladies man as a man

11:30 who shows a marked fondness for the company of women or is especially attentive to

11:35 women. So yeah, I mean that's uh, that's kind of what you

11:41 were saying. There's nothing there about not being monogamous. So okay, well

11:48 there you go, not being You're so suspicious mat with with even phrases.

11:54 Can I be honest with you? I mean, look, Paul, just

11:58 between you and me, you gotta admit Mikey's history is a little bit you

12:01 know. I mean he's uh, oh, I know it's been around.

12:05 I've heard it, I've seen it. I've been there, you've been there.

12:09 Huh, I've been jealous. Yeah yeah, but he's uh. But

12:15 it's good to see. It's good to see Mikey that you're you're you've evolved.

12:18 Yes, yes, and you're uncomfortable. I can tell. But I

12:26 pat him a little uncomfortable. But that's okay. It's okay that you used

12:28 to be not so monogamous because it just shows your your growth, your evolutionism.

12:35 So he was so in his wild oats. The guy is still in

12:37 his twenties. You know, he's gotta he's gotta date around a little bit

12:43 before he finally puts his feet firmly on the ground towards the affection of one

12:48 particular woman. So that's true. It sounds like he's doing just fine with

12:52 that. Sometimes I forget how young he is because while for one thing,

12:56 the beard and also, uh, you know, he is a he is

13:00 in the w w E Hall of Fame. He was a tag team champion

13:03 with black Jack Mulligan, So I forget that he's still in his twenties.

13:05 But yes, he is a young man, that is true, right,

13:11 So that's all. I just wanted to clarify that because you're misleading the child

13:16 with the phrase ladies. Man, you're saying he's a child. I mean,

13:20 you're you're gonna talk him out of this all you keep talking like that,

13:24 he's gonna go back to so in his wild oats and gallivanting. He's

13:28 in his twenties, he's a child. I get it. Policy, I

13:33 get it. I'm saying I'm young, but I'm kind of like instigating stuff.

13:41 Who me, You're you're suggestively instigating. I'm suggestively instigating. I would

13:48 never how dare you? How dare you? Sir? That's the thing,

13:54 Mikey before Matt Ruthy interrupted you. Yes, I'm so young, I'm so

13:58 on and that, and you always wanted and you never know any everything in

14:03 the world. So I'm still I'm safe, keep loving ear and everything.

14:07 But you know, hold off on marriage, okay, just hold off for

14:11 a little while on that. Yep. Seventy seventy five Is that a good

14:16 age? I think people are waiting longer to get married. That's a fact

14:20 statistically. So you you think you think early to mid seventies is a good

14:24 time to put a right on her finger. Yeah, I would recommend that

14:28 to any actually, in all honesty, probably in their sixties, because now

14:33 you get to that age, youre now slowing down, you're a few years

14:35 away from retiring. You you know, probably have ceased dating if you're the

14:41 average guy. I guess, I don't know. I mean, Joel Elber's

14:46 uh, you know, still active out there, if I'm not mistaken.

14:50 I haven't spoken to him in a while, though, But yeah, yeah,

14:52 I mean I think in the sixties is a good good time to get

14:56 married. Yeah, yeah, what do you think, Mikey? Uh,

14:58 probably early sixty start thinking about making an official I don't know if she's dude,

15:09 it's all about the wedding day, big and special, and I want

15:13 to get married and blah blah blah, and then the next day the wedding

15:16 days over and now you guys are married for the rest of your lives.

15:20 Yeah, do that when you're sixty. Yeah, nothing with each other until

15:26 then? Yeah, No, Then get married when you're sixty. Nothing wrong

15:28 with a long engagement, right, sure, Yeah, there you go.

15:33 That'll that'll fly with her, won't't Mikey. I don't know if she's Weston,

15:39 So I don't want saving you don't want to speak for her. I

15:41 understand. No, if the girl wants to get married, married her,

15:45 I'm just giving you a hard time. Okay, I'm not I'm not getting

15:48 married till I'm sixty. Yeah, that's a good, good plan, or

15:54 I should say married again until I'm saying, oh, that's right. I

15:56 always forget that that you've already been married. Yeah, let's forget that I

16:02 was supposed to last forever. Yeah. You know, rates of marriage are

16:07 at their lowest ever in the United States. I believe more and more people

16:11 are just not kidding, and people who are getting married are waiting longer,

16:14 and people are waiting longer to have children too. You know, if you

16:18 put your ear to the ground, you can still hear my ex wife running,

16:22 no kidding. Yeah, I wondered what that sound was. I I

16:26 hear when I put my ear to the ground. So that's her here,

16:29 I'll put the I'll put the phone to the ground right now. That Yeah,

16:33 that's sir. I'll be damned. Oh, I wondered. It just

16:36 sounds like tapping or something. But she must be really far away at this

16:38 point. Wow. Sure, just don't go doing the wrong things premature like

16:45 that you think are the right things. That hurts a lot of people.

16:48 In the end. That's all there you go. I'm sure you solid mmmm.

16:53 Let your mind, Let your brain do the thinking, and no other

16:56 parts of your body. Thank you police for the vice. I'll take a

17:03 consideration. Oh in that big fan bye, all right, bye bye,

17:08 all right, always nice here from Paul C. Of course I get to

17:11 see Polly Friday Night for retro Spectrum Radio with Policy Friday nights from eight to

17:48 is on the line. Hi Shannon, Hello, I just How are you

17:52 good? How are you? That's the stupidest question to ask a host.

17:56 I'm sorry, what we gonna say? Uh? You know, if PAULI

18:03 wants to go out for lunch or just hang out or something. You know,

18:06 I'm not uh because because what was I gonna say? You will?

18:12 You would call him Texas Mike? What Casanova? I didn't. I didn't

18:17 call him Casanova. Ladies man said that? Ladies man? What is the

18:21 kid? What? What is that phrase? What does that phrase mean to

18:25 you? She had a ladies man? What do you hear? Ladies man?

18:27 What do you think a ladies man A guy A lot of ladies want

18:33 to be with? Oh okay comes to mind, all right in my head?

18:40 But mine, you know, I can dive right now. I got

18:44 it real quick. But sure, sure, but I mean I already I

18:48 already promised uh Rob Asia from GSM a drink sometime. Uh huh uh huh.

18:56 Yeah he's married, you know that, right, yes, but that

19:00 would be different because policy isn't married. And I'm glad he said a gangs

19:04 that was going to call and that is it must sound it sounds too much

19:07 like to second marriage, So Shannon, it sounds So it sounds to me

19:11 like you're making a play here. And is the idea that you're hoping that

19:15 when Paul gets to be sixty, uh, you can lock him down,

19:19 So you're trying to you're trying to get in there now and then when when

19:22 Paul is sixty, he'll ask you to marry him. Is that kind of

19:26 the long term plan? Are you? Like you know, because you know,

19:30 you know in China, the Chinese government they have these uh ten year,

19:33 twenty year, hundred year plans. So are you are you along?

19:37 Are you a long term planner? You're planning, You're planning to try to

19:41 get all to marry you in the future, is what it sounds like.

19:45 And I wouldn't have a wedding either city halled JP and just whatever. Haven't.

19:52 No, I'm not that would be my idea. But I thought I

19:56 have in mind is not. There's not it's not applicable because Jenny's a JP.

20:04 She can she can marry you, she can marry you and Paul.

20:07 Yeah, but but but the other person, and I'm not talking about Polly.

20:11 I'm just I'm just trying to say, you know, we go out

20:14 for lunch and shoot the breeze without jumping each other's bones. You know,

20:18 I don't, I don't. You'd be cool to hang out with you and

20:22 Jenny would be cool to hang out, right, But but Paul, Paul

20:26 is Paul is someone you're you know, you're single, you're looking to mingle,

20:29 and you're interested in policy. Guys are my dating app? I understand

20:36 who's single and who so right, so you're trying to you're trying to,

20:40 Uh, you want to go out on a date with Policy, is what

20:42 you're saying. You're asking him out. You're just good old fashioned female.

20:48 That was that's I put that in when you guys were thinking the names for

20:52 Texas mikes. Uh huh, okay, I know or I don't know,

20:59 selling his wild old said yeah, whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm little

21:03 goofy right now. Sure, okay, this is yeah, this is becoming

21:08 confusing, But it sounds like the main the main reason for your call is

21:12 you're trying to connect with policy so that when he is sixty you can get

21:18 married. But no, ass, this is the main reason, you know,

21:22 communicate with me for the frequencies policy, like you know, music called

21:26 Friday. Because I know you don't I can't hear you. You can't hear

21:32 me. I don't call so when when you said that? Uh? When

21:37 policy said that on Friday? You guys, Stephen, you and Mike.

21:41 Yes, it's not me, It isn't me, so right because I know

21:48 you know he's he's got to show to do. But i'd like him to

21:52 do a sexy heavy metal uh show? Uh huh? I bet I don't

22:02 know, like like well, like you don't like country music, right,

22:10 I'm not a I'm not a big fan. Once in a while I'll hear

28:42 Who's this? Hello, Matt, It's Paul c oh Hey, PAULA help

28:49 you there? Oh? Yes, yes, what's on your mouth? Okay?

28:53 I was just out grocery shopping and I was told that somebody asked me

29:00 out on a date. Yes, and then Gene Simmons of Kiss tried to

29:06 swoop in on you, but it turns out he can't. But yes,

29:08 uh, Shannon apparently is interested in you. Well First of all, let

29:14 me let me tell you this. First of all, I'm flattered with that.

29:17 Yes. Secondly, no, all right, yeah, I'm gonna I'm

29:22 gonna have to respectfully decline. I'm very busy, and I too am a

29:29 lady's man, and even though I don't have a girlfriend right now, I

29:34 just want to keep it that way. I'm gonna wait till I'm sixty,

29:37 like I mentioned earlier, right, so so not only for marriage, but

29:44 really for any kind of companionship. You're just you're kind of in a holding

29:48 pattern with that until you're sixty, is what you're saying. Well, not

29:51 necessarily, just in this particular situation, I'm gonna have to decline. Sure,

29:59 I'll I understand. I mean, I don't know how Shannon's going to

30:02 feel, but I understand. I'm sure she'll be fine with it. She's

30:06 a good listener of the radio station, and like she said, uh uh,

30:11 we're family and all this other stuff. So oh yeah, I'm not

30:18 offended or anything by that. But at the same time, yeah, no,

30:22 I'll set with that as she did mention family, and of course we're

30:25 here in the Northeast, so that's not really I'm sorry. I don't date

30:30 family. In the South, it'd be one thing, but no offense Texas,

30:33 Mike. But in certain other areas of the country it would be one

30:37 thing. Let me put it that with But yes, here in here in

30:41 the Northeast, we don't do that. So here in good old New England,

30:45 we try to avoid those types of things. Yes, well, I

30:48 think that's wise. I think you've made the right decision, Paul. And

30:52 uh, you know sometimes so I guess you're you're putting her in the friend

30:56 zone, is what you're saying. I think the young people say that,

30:59 Yeah, you're your friend zoning her. Yes, that's right, but in

31:03 a nice way, right, I understand. Okay, there, buddy,

31:11 go enjoy your show with Mikey and listen. If you want to go up

31:15 sometime, I'll go you. But yeah, that's it, Paul, Paul,

31:19 I'm sorry I have to put you in the friend zone. I'm sorry.

31:25 I'm sorry. And I guess I'll just have to see you Friday night.

31:26 We're doing part two of of Plagiarism. Yes, I'm looking forward to

31:33 that. Last Friday Night was a lot of fun. That was probably one

31:36 of my favorite Retrospectrum radios ever. Oh awesome. Well we're going to continue

31:41 with this week, and depending on how many songs we get through, maybe

31:44 next week as well. Excellent. I look forward to that. All right,

31:48 my friend, keep it rocking, keep it rocking. Yeah, who

31:52 I've heard that somewhere. All right, Paul, thank you. Well,

31:56 there you go. Paul See from Retrospectrum Radio with Paul ec put Shannon in

32:01 the friend zone. Have you ever been putting the friend zone there? Well,

32:05 you probably haven't, Texas Mike, I have actually in the Path of

32:08 the Ladies, man, Oh you have? I have actually? Oh I'm

32:14 care we fine with it. Mmmmmm yeah. I like uh. I like

32:19 when somebody says, uh, I like you. I just don't want to

32:22 ruin our friendship. I heard that a lot in high school. Yeah,

32:27 and I understood what that actually anyway, But uh, six oh three two

32:31 five oh six o seven is a studio line if you'd like to join us.

32:36 And I see a phone number that I recognize. I think this is

32:39 our friend, Charles Richardson from the state of Florida. Charles, is that

32:43 you? Yeah? What's going on up there? I tune in, and

32:46 all of a sudden, I hear in New England bringing the diyala dy.

32:51 Where's the politics? Well, uh, yes, that will be coming up.

32:55 In fact, I'll be joined by Eric Pilcher in the second. He's

33:00 my favorite conservative, you know. But uh, you know, here's the

33:04 thing, Charles. Uh, the heart wants what the heart wants, and

33:07 uh, everyone's everybody's got a hungry heart. I think I've I've heard that

33:14 too, or that might be in a song. Yeah, so you can

33:17 go ahead, we can go ahead and relay songs that voted that lonely heart

33:22 Heart, Heart of Rock and Wall and and my my heart will go on.

33:28 I'll just I'll just say that yes, it will. Yes, And

33:30 unfortunately Sharon's heart may not even skip a beat. Or I mean there was

33:37 well one thing Shannon or Sharon, I forget Shannon, Shannon, Shannon.

33:44 Okay, Shannon, if you're listening of hey, probably a very wonderful lady

33:50 to what you've gotta understand is, Shannon, you must have more of a

33:58 uplifting voice, not something that goes well now that I want poll to come

34:08 down here and be strawberry. No, you can't do that, Shannon.

34:15 You have to go ahead and be vocal and excited that you want Polly see

34:21 to be a part of maybe Shannon's bedtime routine a little more more enthusiasm.

34:31 Well, uh, you know what I'm saying. It's like I want to

34:37 be on Polcy's arm walking through the wonderful streets of Manchester, New Hampshire,

34:44 going down to that pizza place that we all went to, and and and

34:47 sharing a slice of pizza. You have to be enthusiastic, Shannon, because

34:52 what I heard was somebody that was got ready to fall asleep with too much

34:57 sana. No, no, go ahead and give a lively boy. Well

35:01 she did. She did mention. The weather here is very dreary, and

35:05 I think it's it's dragging her down a little bit. But uh, but

35:08 but about understand what you're saying. She needs to show passion. Yes,

35:15 passion like the Rod Stewart zone. Passion. I bet you if she showed

35:19 passion, which is Polly C's middle name, the other you know that the

35:22 other one for Polly would be passionate, passionate, polic she would have landed

35:29 him outside the friend zone. But she was not passionate at all. Right,

35:34 right, say, I'd say we need to delete this record and memory

35:38 of Shannon Colin as she should try again when the weather is sunn here.

35:44 But she's already been. But she's already been friend zoned. Isn't that binding?

35:50 I don't think you can. I don't think you can reverse that,

35:52 can't you? I'm not sure? Is there are another poll that you know

35:57 about? Maybe Polly d or or Polly W. Maybe there's another Polly.

36:02 We can introduce her to Texas. Texas Mike is a catch. Come on

36:09 now, who wouldn't want Texas Mike? And you put polis C in one

36:15 side Texas Mike and the other. Oh man, I'm going to Texas Mike.

36:20 He is a stud. Well you know he is a former a WA

36:23 tag game champion with black Jack Mulligan. He's an athlete, Yes, he's

36:30 an athlete, a stud, a champion. Come on? What is Poli

36:35 c? Host the retrospect for Brady? All right? I will go with

36:38 a champion on this one. Wow? How about that? Wouldn't you?

36:45 Would you go with a champion? In this case? You gotta go with

36:47 the champion, the CHAMPI is here with the champion at the news desk.

36:52 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, love you, Texas Mike, Love

36:57 you too, Charles. Nice to nice to hear your voice, for I

37:00 haven't heard your voice and for ever, so nice nice that we connect.

37:06 Yeah, no problem. I hear my voice all the time. Believe I

37:07 get sick of it sometimes, so that's why I keep it, you know,

37:10 out of the touch of other people. Hey. By the way,

37:15 Uh, were you affected at all by that last hurricane? We got some

37:21 tropical storm winds out of bands, but nothing heavy. Good good, good.

37:24 We didn't lose power, so we're good. Excellent, excellent, Yeah,

37:29 you're good good. All right. Well listen, Shannon, I wish

37:32 you the best out there in the in the the love market. Be safe,

37:38 be careful, and show passion girl, show it to me or show

37:44 it to somebody else anyway, show it all right, Charles, thank you

37:47 for the call. All right, that was Charles Richardson from the state of

37:52 Florida. And uh, yes, passion. Uh that was on poly Sees

37:59 show recently, actually on retrospect from radio. I forget what the subject was

38:01 that night, but yes, uh that was recent. Actually it was a

38:06 Passion by Rod Stewart and Shannon is back on the line. Hi, Shannon,

38:13 Well, thank you for making me laugh. So that that was funny.

38:17 Oh, if you're laughing passionately, yes, yes, well I can't

38:22 see the other way of laughing passionately is on Shannon unsheathed. So I understand

38:30 I ought to get my own number, but no, I just I just

38:35 wanted to hang out and listen to stories. I don't want any commitment.

38:39 Don't move in with me. I don't want to you know, a friend,

38:45 right, I could. I could die next year and just never know.

38:50 You guys said family, You're like the family I want if I could

38:55 pick one, right right? I understand, you know, so don't don't.

39:02 I don't. If I speak with the French accents, I sound like

39:06 little more passionate. Uh no, you just sound French. Oh yeah,

39:12 Well, which accent is passionate? Well, I don't think it's I don't

39:16 think it's about accents. It's just about passion. Like the Rod Stewart song.

39:21 I just listened to that a couple of times. You'll get it.

39:23 Oh, I listened to that. You know. Does anybody remember Venos in

39:30 Concord, Yes, I remember Venos. I used to live in an apartment

39:35 complex literally right across the street from Venos. In fact, I go up

50:55 quick programming notes tomorrow on the show. My friend, my old friend,

51:00 Mike Laughlin. I've known Mike for she's Oh you know what I always say.

51:07 I it's easy to remember exactly how long I've known Mike because one of

51:12 the first conversations I ever had with Mike Laughlin, it was it was about

51:17 nine to eleven. It was right after nine eleven happened, so it was

51:22 I met Mike in u September of two thousand and one. So wow,

51:27 I've known him a long time. Anyway, So he'll be here tomorrow,

51:30 and I think he's coming in for the full two hours, which will be

51:34 great. So we're gonna talk during the first hour and I'm sure we'll talk

51:37 some more in the second hour, but we'll have plenty to talk about we

51:39 always do. I've done a lot of shows with Mike over the years.

51:42 But he's also going to bring his acoustic guitar and he's gonna play play some

51:45 tunes in the second hour. So and looks like looks like this is Eric

51:51 on the phone. I assume Eric, is that you? It be me?

51:54 Yes, welcome to the program sir. Yes, tried calling, but

52:00 I figured you were on break. Ah. Yes, yes, we had

52:04 some music and commercial spots and uh, you know that goes. Yes,

52:09 I'm familiar with the biz now they call it the biz the young people.

52:16 Now, where are you right now? Exactly? Obviously you're not at home?

52:21 Or are you at home? No, I'm actually heading home from my

52:23 doctor's appointment. I'm sorry. Oh no, no, no, no need

52:27 to apologize. I was just curious. Uh yes, uh so. Oh

52:32 by the way, hello to Kevin Doherty, who joins us in the Facebook

52:36 live chat. Kevin says a lot of interesting things in there. Uh,

52:39 he says, a perfect song for the way I feel right now. Dare

52:44 one of your book faceless audience to call me? Uh six zero three three

52:50 nine one one two four five. Uh, he says, you are a

52:54 piece of Matt would be in time out if I would say what I wanted

53:00 to. Uh, and then he uses the B word. Oops, you

53:05 can say that, right. You have my number. Any questions you can

53:09 spell cell phone. I'm in all right. Very interesting comments from Kevin Doherty.

53:17 Is this like a new enemy of mass I've seen him in there before.

53:22 He's very aggressive. I don't think I know him personally, but his

53:28 comments are interesting, that's one way of putting it. Yes, yes,

53:35 so you you Eric, You've been very upset about this, uh, this

53:39 Keith Olberman Aaron Rodgers thing. Yeah, okay, I mean, look,

53:47 I'm a sports fan. I know you're not at sports ball. Yeah,

53:52 yes, true, I know who Aaron Rodgers is. He plays sports ball,

53:58 correct. Yeah. And I have a rule, and it's a rule

54:02 because of experiences I've had. Is I don't care how I feel about an

54:10 athlete or a player if they suffer a major injury, Laughing at it,

54:20 poking fun at it is off the table because that's their livelihood. If you

54:30 could no longer work, you wouldn't expect someone to make fun of you,

54:36 right, And to me, it's disrespectful and look and I get it,

54:46 you know, like the team. I mean, I'm not a Jets fan.

54:54 I'm a Patriots fan. And I said, I've said this to many

54:59 people, this is the most Jet thing that could ever happen, you know,

55:05 get finally get a quarterback after how many years and four plays into the

55:09 season, he ruptures his achilles? Are you a kiddie? But what Keith

55:19 Olberman did on Twitter is inexcusable. You do not poke fun at a player

55:30 for getting injured and in turn make it political based on their personal choice.

55:40 Keith Olberman made fun of Aaron Rodgers and called it and said he What he

55:49 did is he retweeted Internet sports doctor I believe it was doctor David chow okay,

56:00 saying looks like a list Frank injury more than likely achilles tendon rupture,

56:07 which if you saw the video, it is very disturbing. You see his

56:13 calf riffle. Yeah, I haven't. I haven't watched it and I can't.

56:16 I'm grossed out by that stuff. I mean, I was working when

56:22 it happened, and my cousin, Austin sent me the told me and I

56:25 looked at the video and I saw him trying to put weight on his foot,

56:32 and that's an indication of an achille, because when that tendon ruptures,

56:37 it's almost as if your foot is detached from your leg. You cannot feel

56:44 your foot. It is not painful, it is very uncomfortable. Yeah,

56:51 and I saw him trying to put weight on it, and I said,

56:54 oh my god, that's his achilling. It is gone. And so Keith

57:07 Olberman took it upon himself to say, let's Frank injury due to be unvaccinate.

57:16 Yeah, the exact and I have it. I have it here Eric

57:21 and Charles was asking in the Charan troops. So exactly what Olberman tweeted is

57:24 another hashtag sudden Liz Frank due to failure to vaccinate. That was his tweet.

57:34 I guess we still call them tweets. Yeah, I mean one.

57:38 Keith Olberman, I'm pretty sure has never played in athletic sport in his life.

57:46 He probably has, probably basketball. He probably played basketball in college or

57:52 something. I say that only because I believe he's very tall. If he

57:57 has, he probably failed miserably at it, much like he failed miserably at

58:00 hosts. He's late night ESPN shell that bombed out after four months. But

58:06 I digress. Yeah, to me, that that was disgusting. There was

58:15 no need for it. You do not do that. You do not take

58:20 a political shot like that, or a shot at someone's decision like that in

58:28 a situation where this individual their career could be over sure. Sure, and

58:37 you minimum trivialize it as a way to get what views on your Twitter account.

58:46 All Right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate

58:51 Eric and I'm not. Look, I mean, he's Alberman's a weird dude.

58:55 In fact, I remember a particularly disturbing story about him throwing a temper

59:00 tantrum at Tim Russert's funeral because he was unhappy with the catering that was provided.

59:05 So I'm not I'm not saying any of this to defend Keith Olberman.

59:08 But when when I when I saw this online, my first thought was he

59:15 isn't He's not. This was just my first thought. I'm not saying this

59:19 is my first impression. I'm not saying this is right or wrong or anything.

59:25 I'm just I'm just telling you how I took it. My first my

59:30 first thought was he's not really taking a shot at Aaron Rodgers. Maybe I'm

59:35 maybe I'm reading too much into it. But this is just how I took

59:37 it. I took it as he's using this as a way to make fun

59:44 of all the people who like, you know, when DeMar Hamlin, when

59:49 DeMar Hamlin went down, and when DeMar Hamlin went down, if I mean

59:54 interject, yes, yes, to be fair, you're a witness to this

59:58 as well. I went after another sports journalist who tried to trivialize the DeMar

1:00:05 Hamlin situation. Oh sure, sure yeah, but when okay, but when

1:00:12 when DeMar Hamlin went down. What immediately happened is every every uh COVID denier,

1:00:22 anti vaxer, conspiracy theorists that I, for whatever reason have the misfortune

1:00:29 of having to look at when I go on social media, whether I'm connected

1:00:34 to them somehow or they just show up on my feed. But all of

1:00:37 a sudden, as soon as DeMar Hamlin went down, every anti vaxer on

1:00:40 social media was was immediately posting things like see, we told you this proves

1:00:47 it the vaccines are bad. He would take unacceptable as well, right right,

1:00:52 But what I'm what I'm saying, though, is that's how I took

1:00:57 Olberman's tweet, is that he was saying is that he was satirizing what the

1:01:02 anti vaxers do whenever, whenever an athlete or anyone else so much as even

1:01:08 sneezes, all the anti vaxers on social media go, oh see, we've

1:01:14 been vindicated. This proves the vaccines are dangerous. And that's that's how it

1:01:17 would be. That's how I took it, That's how I took Oliver fair

1:01:22 Matt, Yes, Aaron Rodgers as an individual wasn't outspoken against the vaccine.

1:01:30 It would be fair if Aaron Rodgers hadn't rightfully gotten in trouble with the NFL

1:01:37 for saying I've been immunized right when a reporter asked, have you been vaccinated?

1:01:45 Right? And I'm not excusing Aaron Rodgers and him doing that, he

1:01:50 endangered his teammates, yeah, members of the media, and the staff of

1:01:55 the Green Bay Packers with his imanism Asian thing. Oh yeah yeah. But

1:02:01 and if Keith Olberman hadn't had a history of this, he would get the

1:02:07 bod benefit of the doubt. But sadly Keith Olberman does. And when you

1:02:14 have that history, it goes back to Jason Aldean and Jason Alban's wife.

1:02:20 When you have that history, over time, you lose that benefit of the

1:02:23 doubt. Sure. Sure in public opinion, Well, I am not an

1:02:30 Aaron Rodgers fan. Personally, I think the guy is a scumbag for what

1:02:37 he did. Yeah, I agree. I agree. At the end of

1:02:39 the day, I won't. I cannot make light of or or laugh at

1:02:47 an injury. Yeah, A major one. Like if it's a cramp and

1:02:52 a guy leaves, it's like, okay, come on, kind of mean

1:02:55 up a little bit. But this is a major injury. This has ended

1:03:00 careers. Yeah, and Aaron Rodgers is thirty nine years old. His career

1:03:07 could be effectively over because of this. And so to even think it's oh

1:03:15 for Keith Olberman to even think at this point in time, right after this

1:03:19 injury happens, being a former sportscaster, Yeah, that it would be that

1:03:23 it's okay acceptable to take this shot. Whether it was satire or not,

1:03:30 it was in horrible taste at the very least, right, I mean,

1:03:37 so, yeah, that's my issue with it. Yeah, No, I

1:03:40 understand, and I don't. I don't necessarily disagree, I just but like

1:03:45 I said, my first thought when I saw it was, oh, he's

1:03:49 not In other words, I guess in my mind, I'm thinking the target

1:03:52 of the joke isn't Aaron Rodgers. The target of the joke is the anti

1:03:57 vaxers. But it is distasteful. But I do agree with you though it

1:04:00 is distasteful to use somebody's injury to take that shot. I do agree with

1:04:05 you. Yeah, And again benefit of the doubt comes into play here.

1:04:12 Keith Olberman has lost that in many people's eyes. Yeah, his attitude,

1:04:18 such as the Tim Russer situation, such as the way he when he left

1:04:25 the ESPN, how he thinks he said about people. See that. A

1:04:30 lot of a lot of this I don't know about Eric, So I'd be

1:04:33 I'd be curious to hear you expand on some of it, because a lot

1:04:36 of it I don't see. My my uh perception of Olberman. Obviously,

1:04:42 I knew he started out as a sportscaster and then he took another shot at

1:04:45 it, and but my be because I'm not a sports guy. Uh.

1:04:51 Most of the Olberman content that I've consumed over the years was when he did

1:04:56 his show Countdown on MSNBC, which actually started out The original reason it was

1:05:00 called Countdown was because it was the Countdown to the lead up to the Iraq

1:05:04 War, and then they kept the name and they kind of kept the format

1:05:08 and it lasted a long time. But so I'm I don't really know much

1:05:13 about what he has said. Got tired of stick, Yeah, he got

1:05:15 He got forced out because he got caught. He violated their policy. This

1:05:21 was what broke the straw that broke the camel's back. From what I remember,

1:05:25 he violated their policy by donating money to a campaign, which is actually

1:05:30 against the policy of the NBC News division. You're not allowed to do that,

1:05:34 and he got caught doing that. It's against journalists some ethics. Yeah,

1:05:40 you're you're not. So if you are a political reporter, political commentator,

1:05:46 and it's an unwritten rule of journalism, you are not to show support

1:05:54 publicly, right obviously you know there are exceptions like if you're a columnist or

1:06:00 something like that, fine, but if you are a political reporter, you

1:06:06 are not to show favoritism towards one candidate or another. And the reason why

1:06:15 that used on Olberman is quite simply because his show has all candidates sought it

1:06:23 and if it's found out, oh he gave money this candidate, Am I

1:06:27 going to get a fair shake when I go on his show, I'm not

1:06:30 going I disagree a little bit because I think they were. I think they

1:06:35 were using that as an excuse me I rid of him, because they were.

1:06:38 They were, as you said, sick of him. I don't.

1:06:40 I there were many other things that occurred before that. Yeah, because I

1:06:44 don't. I don't think it was a matter of anyone questioning whether they'd get

1:06:46 a fair shake, because his show was very much opinion driven, you know

1:06:50 what I mean. That was not it was not a straight news show.

1:06:54 It was clearly he's liberal. Instructors said that, and it's something things that

1:07:00 I have taken to heart in journalism. Reason why you're fired isn't the reason

1:07:06 why you're fired. The reason why you are fired occurred five instances prior.

1:07:14 It just wasn't a good enough reason. Then. Interesting. Interesting, Yeah,

1:07:20 there's always the hope. Oh he'll they'll write the ship, they'll write

1:07:25 the ship. We'll live out this contract. We don't have to go through

1:07:29 U Core impossible buy out in whatever out. So yeah, there, it's

1:07:35 always the situation of the reason why you are fired isn't the real reason.

1:07:41 There's other things. That's why it's so interesting. When these cases do go

1:07:45 to court, you really hear the examples come out, right, you really

1:07:50 hear the examples like like you, they break out ratings and as as a

1:07:58 total blemish on the posterior, society likes to falsely bring up all the time,

1:08:03 they actually have actual numbers, unlike that individual who who cannot count to

1:08:10 five if he spotted him two, three and four. So but I digress.

1:08:15 Yeah, yeah, they actually have actual ratings numbers in the lawsuit deeps

1:08:21 like, oh, well, we could have fired him for this, right,

1:08:26 I don't think. I don't think there was any litigation though with Olberman

1:08:29 when he left MSNBC, right, I think I think he just left.

1:08:31 I think they paid out. What's that Piern gobbled him up and that's what

1:08:38 led to him getting his own late night talk show on ESPN. Now see

1:08:43 that again. Because I'm not a sports guy, so I know he went

1:08:45 back to ESPN. I remember he had been there before too, and I

1:08:48 remember I do remember him saying in in uh, he probably not. He

1:08:55 probably never said it on his MSNBC show because I don't know why I would

1:08:58 have come up did But while I remem remember, you know what I'm what

1:09:00 I'm gonna what. I'm referring to his complaints about ESPN from the first time.

1:09:04 He said they didn't pay him enough, and he was always complaining about

1:09:08 the money him enough, and that they used him as a second fiddle.

1:09:14 I mean, when you've gotta look at who he was the host on the

1:09:16 show with, yeah, to fully understand why he was second fiddle. Co

1:09:24 host was Craig Kilborn. Oh, yeah, that's right, because I remember

1:09:30 Craig Oh, you know what, I remember when Craig Kilborn, who young

1:09:35 people probably don't even realize. Craig Kilborn was the original host of The Daily

1:09:40 Show, and I remember him to do that, yes, and I remember

1:09:45 him making jokes. He did he would work it into the into the opening

1:09:49 segment. Occasionally on on the Daily Show, he would take a shot at

1:09:54 at ESPN, just kind of it never came off as mean spirited or anything,

1:09:57 but he he would take a shot at them about the money, about

1:10:00 about the lack. Because Ehman stayed on and they paired him with Dan Patrick.

1:10:06 Okay, I know who that is. Yeah, that's when they realized

1:10:12 that Keith Olberman wasn't the star. Keith Olberman thought he was okay, and

1:10:18 they they basically said when they went to renegotiate with him, Keith wanted star

1:10:25 money. And they're like, hm, hm, we have these three guys

1:10:30 that just came in to the business that are killing it in ratings. Maybe

1:10:35 you've heard of him, the late Stuart Scott rich Eisen. I don't know

1:10:44 who that is. I know who rich Eisen is because only because he also

1:10:46 has a he has a separate podcast that he does away from sports that I've

1:10:49 actually listened to. Yeah, three pillars of Sports Center in the nineties,

1:10:56 Okay, in the late nineties, early two thousands, they were them and

1:11:00 Dan Patrick were the four pillars, and there were other guys that came into

1:11:06 that contributed greatly, but those were the four star and they're like, you

1:11:12 know, Keith, uh, people really aren't liking the late night show.

1:11:17 They're not really watching it, and our test audience says, you're really not

1:11:23 the star. They like Dan Patrick more than you. Here's basically, they

1:11:30 said, we're going to give a renewal on your current contract with incentives,

1:11:36 and you're going to have to work weekends on some pregame programs for college football

1:11:45 and MLB. And he said absolutely. Not only hacks do pregame shows,

1:11:54 which, if you looked at it now, pregame shows are some of the

1:11:59 most popular or sports talk shows on TV. So yeah, another strike against

1:12:05 Keith Moron. So how did he how did he leave there? Did they

1:12:10 fire him? It was it was his deal ran out, There was no

1:12:15 no means to negotiate. Thank you, forget you, goodbye was basically it.

1:12:23 He went to MSNBC. MSNBC okay, and then MSNBC got tired of

1:12:30 him, and ESPN wanted a late night sports talk show that really talked about

1:12:36 issues political issues that could tie into sports, and the two people they thought

1:12:44 of were stephen A. Smith and uh Keeth Olberman. So they went to

1:12:51 stephen A and they're like, hey, stephen h we know your early evening

1:12:59 talk show by out, how would you feel about going to late night?

1:13:02 Stephen Ay said, well, you know, I think this first take thing

1:13:09 it's gonna take off, so I'm gonna ride this wave. Is that the

1:13:13 show he's on now? Yeah, he was on it with Skip Bayliss originally,

1:13:17 but he's like, I think it's really gonna take off and I'm gonna

1:13:21 ride this out. Thanks, but no thanks Yeah, so they went to

1:13:26 Oberman. But the problem is they launched it during the during the MLB playoffs,

1:13:33 and that year specifically, you had a lot of teams on the West

1:13:40 coasts that we're in it. You had the Oakland A's, the Los Angeles

1:13:45 Dodgers, the I think the Los Angeles Angels to Anaheim made it that year.

1:13:54 So you had a lot of late night games. So these people were

1:13:59 watching these games, they weren't watching Olberman. Oh okay. And conversely,

1:14:05 he really just kind of turned it into countdown with a little bit of sports

1:14:10 really and so people were like, uh, no, what'd you do with

1:14:16 my sports center? I assume he didn't. But he didn't bring over like

1:14:20 the worst person in the World or anything like that, did he No,

1:14:27 he did do the worst, the Worst, the three worst people of the

1:14:30 day, and a lot of them were political. He called it the worst

1:14:33 the three worst People of the Day on that show. Yeah, and a

1:14:36 lot of it was political, like he would have one sports person in two

1:14:41 political people. I'm sorry, isn't your audience? Yeah. I used to

1:14:46 like that on his MSNBC show because I thought it was humorous. Because I'll

1:14:51 give him credit, Yeah, because because like four and outs four nights out

1:14:56 of the five in any given week. The worst person would would be Bill

1:15:00 O'Reilly or George Bush. Yeah, yeah, but it was. But when

1:15:08 he did it in sports, it was funny because some of the people you're

1:15:11 like, oh, yeah, that person is a scuzzball. Yeah, that's

1:15:14 funny. And but like even when he like, some of his interviews were

1:15:20 just cringe. He had people, he had athletes on there, and they

1:15:27 weren't athletes that were normally political, and he would try to talk about the

1:15:30 political scope and by accident, these athletes came off as just total idiot.

1:15:41 See. I didn't realize anything, Like I didn't I didn't know any of

1:15:44 this. I just assumed that when he went back to ESPN and did this

1:15:46 show, that he just went back to doing doing a sports show and left

1:15:50 the politics behind. I had no idea that he brought that with him to

1:15:54 that show. That's interesting. Yeah, Like he would talk about the he

1:15:58 had a player if if Charles, I assume you said, Charles, you

1:16:06 met Charles Richardson, Yeah, yeah, the still in the chat, he

1:16:11 might be able to help me out with this. I think the really bad

1:16:15 one was he had, like I want to say Willis mcgayh. He's on

1:16:21 the show a former University of Miami running back. And I'm not dogging Willis

1:16:29 mcgay he's at all And I'm not trying to be disrespectful towards him. He

1:16:33 he's an athlete that had a major injury that derailed his career. His career

1:16:40 could have been so much better than it was if he hadn't loansk me out

1:16:43 in the National title game. Well, like he's asking him social economic questions,

1:16:54 and you're like, you see Willis mcgahey's sitting there like just geer in

1:17:00 headlights. Yeah, like what are you doing? Like you're he he thought

1:17:09 he was going to be on there, I think to talk about his new

1:17:11 deal with the Baltimore Ravens at that point. Yeah, and he wasn't.

1:17:17 And he's asking him about the socio economic climate and Liberty City, my Florida.

1:17:29 You really think he wants to talk about that when football season's on the

1:17:32 horizon. He just signed a new deal and you're just basically asking him in

1:17:38 the widest way possible, Yo, homie, tell me about the hood you

1:17:41 grew up in. Right now? What about those what? What about his

1:17:45 commentaries that he used to do on on MSNBC. Did he bring that over

1:17:48 too, because those were he wouldn't eat those were political commentary too in regards

1:17:56 to sports, because and it was it was it was really just dry.

1:18:00 It wasn't entertaining. But but those would that those would be because I was

1:18:06 interested, But then I was I would often fall asleep watching it because it

1:18:12 wasn't entertaining to me. Oh, Charles, I answered your question in the

1:18:16 chatroom, he says, sorry, Eric, after he did Sports Center and

1:18:19 was let go, I could really care less about Keith Overman, of course,

1:18:25 but I wish I could say the same, Charles, I really really

1:18:29 do. But yeah, but it was just bad. It was bad.

1:18:34 Oh how long did that last? Just that that? I want to say

1:18:40 six months? Oh that's eighty Oh. I think it started in October of

1:18:45 twenty thirteen and lasted till maybe early December, not even six months. I

1:18:54 don't think it was really short because ESPN's just like, no, Baben moved

1:18:59 it to ESPN two after two weeks. Oh really, yeah, They're like,

1:19:04 oh, no, I bet he didn't take that well. I mean,

1:19:11 I mean, look, and a lot of a lot of his supporters

1:19:14 will say, well, you know, if they wouldn't have preempted him,

1:19:17 they didn't preempt him. He aired at the same time every night unless a

1:19:21 game was on that channel that preempted him, and then they would move him

1:19:27 the ESPN News Charles says, uh uh. He had a two year contract

1:19:33 between twenty thirteen and twenty fifteen where he brought on his political sports showed to

1:19:39 ESPN. Okay, yeah, so I don't even think he lasted the contract.

1:19:47 Wow, I just think it was real acrimonious falling out. So I

1:19:54 remember when again, somebody who thought he was better than what he actually was,

1:20:00 he does well, he certainly comes off that way, and then he

1:20:02 had that Yeah, because I remember too. The next the next time I

1:20:06 saw him and paid any attention to him was after Trump got elected in twenty

1:20:11 sixteen. He had a short lived thing that he did on YouTube which was

1:20:15 really just his his comment like it was similar to his commentaries from MSNBC,

1:20:20 just without the multiple camera angles. And but that didn't last very long either,

1:20:28 well, because at some point the novelty was gone. I think it

1:20:32 was called the Resistance, and it just yeah, and it just didn't last.

1:20:36 But he wasn't saying anything interesting either, Like he wasn't saying anything that

1:20:41 anybody else who wasn't happy about Trump wasn't already saying. So it was kind

1:20:45 of like, alright, Keith, we get it, but you know,

1:20:47 why are you even bothering at this point? Nothing new to the table,

1:20:51 right. The great thing, the thing he had going for him when he

1:20:55 was on MSNBC is he brought something too different to the mix. He left

1:21:02 MSNBC, they just replaced him with Rachel Maddow. Yeah, she became,

1:21:09 and she was she was already very much ascended. But yeah, she became

1:21:14 the star because if I remember correctly, her show had aired right before his

1:21:18 show, because I seem to remember there being a crossover from her show and

1:21:21 his show, and then and then he left and she became. She became

1:21:26 the star. That's that's the major thing to take away from this. So,

1:21:32 I mean, and Keith Olberman has taken shots at Aaron Rodgers and a

1:21:38 lot of people have, okay, and rightfully, So again I'll say this,

1:21:42 almost everything is on the table with me when it comes to pro athletes.

1:21:46 The things that are not why and if they suffer a major injury,

1:21:54 Yeah, those are all off the table, like leave them alone, right,

1:22:00 Like, if you want to tweet a player because he dropped three passes,

1:22:05 keep it respectful. I don't care about that. Right. They're getting

1:22:11 paid millions of dollars to catch a football, and fans pay some of that

1:22:15 salary when they buy jerseys, when they buy shirts, when they buy hats.

1:22:20 So if you're going to be on social media to have fans pump you

1:22:24 up when you fail, you're gonna have to expect some backlash. I have

1:22:29 no problem with that, right, But when a guy gets injured, that's

1:22:32 when, okay, you need to back off. Now you mentioned is this

1:22:39 a pattern with him? Has he done this before because earlier you you mentioned,

1:22:45 or has he done he has taken shots at other I want to say,

1:22:50 right leaning athletes. He took a shot at He's taken a shot at

1:23:00 Penn State University over the Jerry Sandusky situation. When they fail. He said

1:23:06 things like the ghosts of Sandusky strikes again. And it's like, really,

1:23:15 these players had nothing to do with it too, These coaches had nothing to

1:23:19 do with it. Three of the current administration had nothing to do with it.

1:23:24 It was horrible. What happened. It was awesome what happened, but

1:23:28 dog let it go, let it go. Like, feel for the victims,

1:23:36 absolutely, because that is something that victims may never recover from. Okay,

1:23:44 And I'm not going to go into detail on any experiences anything like that.

1:23:50 Yeah, I'm not people anyone wants to ask me questions that can be

1:23:55 done on a private forum. Yeah, but in ali from I'm an open

1:24:00 book, I won't do it. Yeah, I will say this that.

1:24:05 Yeah, feel for the victims, but don't use what happened to the victims

1:24:11 to take a shot at an athletic program. Yeah that no one else,

1:24:16 no one is there that had anything to do with it. Yeah. Paterno's

1:24:21 dad, Sandusky's victim. Feel Sandusky still alive. Ready's just in prison.

1:24:28 Yeah, he's in prison, and the administration is there. Paterno has passed

1:24:32 away. His son isn't coaching anywhere. The Matt Matt mcquery, the coach

1:24:44 that saw the assault allegedly, And I say allegedly because we have to.

1:24:51 I'm not. That's not me saying I dispute that it happened. It's just

1:24:56 covering basis because it's an alleged sighting Okay, allegedly he isn't coaching anymore,

1:25:04 so why do that, right? And so, yes, he has had

1:25:11 a history of doing these things. So we circle back to that benefit of

1:25:15 the doubt thing. Oh you lose that over time. By the way,

1:25:21 Charles says in the chat that I had no idea about this. Charles says

1:25:27 he still does a podcast on iHeart Radio called The Countdown with keep Olberman podcast.

1:25:31 I had no idea. So Olberman must own the intellectual property then to

1:25:35 use that name the Countdown. I just assumed ms thinking you can own countdown

1:25:42 as an intellectual property. Well, if you think about it, how many

1:25:45 shows are called countdown? Yeah, that's true. You're right, that's a

1:25:48 good point. Yeah that that word has been used a lot in a lot

1:25:51 of Yeah. TWE Network had a show called countdown. That's that's true.

1:25:57 Now, you're right, and there's there's countdown radio shows. Yeah, that's

1:26:00 true. I'm sure he just tried. Yeah, it wouldn't shock me,

1:26:04 and he tried to take some intellectual unbridge to it, just the ego he

1:26:12 has. Yeah, that just doesn't sit right with me. I mean,

1:26:18 if I can, I'll be I'll try to be brief the reason why it

1:26:24 doesn't is I was never allowed to play football. I mean I was allowed

1:26:30 in the same lot, but I was never allowed to play organize football.

1:26:34 Growing up, I was always too small. I was a late bloomer.

1:26:40 I was. I didn't I didn't develop until junior year of high school.

1:26:46 Okay, I was a late bloomer. And you know, back in the

1:26:53 state of Iowa, you had to be a certain height in a certain way

1:26:56 to compete at each grade. I was always under that way, and I

1:27:00 was well under that high Oh. I love the game of football. Yeah,

1:27:09 So what happened is of summer in my freshman year. The spring before

1:27:15 my freshman year, the middle school I was at had one of the assistant

1:27:19 freshman coaches there. He's like, you love football. Have you ever thought

1:27:25 about being a manager? And I'm like, you mean, like a like

1:27:30 a water boy And he's like, well, yeah, kind of. And

1:27:34 I'm like, no, I'm not doing that. I'll get made fun of.

1:27:39 And he's like, no, you won't. You'll be a part of

1:27:40 the team, You'll travel with the team. I'm like, I'm not interested.

1:27:43 Yeah, I'm like, look, I'm just gonna write for the student

1:27:46 newspaper. And that'll be that. And he goes, we'll get you a

1:27:49 jersey. I'm like, what, yeah, you'll you'll get a game jersey.

1:27:57 Oh yeah, I okay, I'm in then. Yeah. But I

1:28:02 actually was treated as a member of the team, like the players treated me

1:28:10 as a member of the team. Is like it like if I you know.

1:28:15 Like it was so cool, And I became close with one of the

1:28:19 players. His name was Francis. Francis was a great running back. His

1:28:29 freshman year, he already had colleges in Iowa offering him scholarships. Wow,

1:28:35 how good he was. Like, we had low end assistant coaches from the

1:28:41 University of Iowa at our freshman games to see him and a couple other players.

1:28:45 Yeah, our sophomore the summer of our sophomore year, we had training

1:28:50 camp. At practice, he had what is called a non contact injury.

1:28:58 He plainted his knee on a cut. It twisted in his knee exploded.

1:29:02 Oh god, I remember I was. We had a hill that went to

1:29:11 the locker room from the practice field. I was walking into the locker room

1:29:14 and I heard him scream, oh God all the way UPO. Yeah,

1:29:18 I ran down and when I got there, he was laying there and you

1:29:23 see his knee the size bigger than a softball and touching it in it's jello.

1:29:33 And I will tell you he was never the same after that. He

1:29:39 was never the same athletically, and more importantly, he was never the same

1:29:45 personally. Yeah. Like he played, he played with a level of fear

1:29:54 after that. Yeah, that is why major injuries hit me so hard because

1:29:59 I know what they can do to athletes. That's yeah, that makes sense.

1:30:03 That makes sense because you're taking a piece of them away. That totally

1:30:12 makes sense. People don't a lot of people don't see that if they don't

1:30:15 follow sports. They're like, oh, they're just they're just making millions of

1:30:19 dollars to play a game. Okay, but you have fix years to make

1:30:29 your living and save up for your retirement. You know what a pro football

1:30:33 player has on average to make their money. I know it's a short make

1:30:41 high end money. It's a short window to eight years. Yeah, six

1:30:46 to eight years. And to be fair, yes, could this be some

1:30:51 some of their choice. Absolutely, but think about this, they are rain

1:31:00 to be only football, Thank heavens. It has changed so much since I

1:31:06 grew up, and the colleges are now trying to get them to declare majors,

1:31:12 come back in the summer and take exams and really gearing them up for

1:31:15 life after football, or they can become commentators. There's symposiums about them buying

1:31:23 into businesses and everything like that. Yeah, thank Heaven's that's fair. But

1:31:27 next time you want to say, oh, well, they're just making millions

1:31:30 of dollars to play a game, I really want you to think about what

1:31:34 I just said. Their window to make their money is a lot shorter than

1:31:39 it is for you, me and the listeners. That's a that's a great

1:31:45 point. That's that's ah, that's absolutely a great point. Eric. Absolutely,

1:31:50 Hey we are we're already almost out of show, and I would like
