00:00Hey, David, can you translate the audio that was in the update?
00:03Because I really didn't understand it.
00:05What was that?
00:07You didn't want to hear it.
00:08The crowd noise in the back or the music?
00:10I couldn't hear anything.
00:14And what?
00:15Be more gooder.
00:21Well, because I said in the talk back, David, did he say more gooder?
00:30And David looked at me like, it sounded that way.
00:33Well, David and his machine back there went back in time and found out that he actually said, and be
00:43more gooder.
00:46But you know what?
00:48I could easily see that as a sign tonight down at the LCA.
00:53Pistons are more gooder than you.
00:57Is this their grit?
00:58Be more gooder.
01:02Play that one more time.
01:10One more time.
01:17I know I want to fight Rico on this because I'm trying to give benefit of the doubt.
01:25No, he said that.
01:26Be more gooder than is what he's saying.
01:28Be more gooder than.
01:29Okay, David, I'm going to need you to slow that piece of audio down by just 5%.
01:33Can you do that?
01:34Let's really dig in on this for a moment.
01:36I don't want to live in a world where someone I'm about to pay $200 million to just said, be
01:41more gooder.
01:43I.
01:47Was that Durant or was that B-ball Paul?
01:50It was be more gooder.
01:52I mean.
01:53It's a name in the phone.
01:54Oh, trust me.
01:56Be more gooder.
01:56Let them win and it will be signs and t-shirts.
02:03Be more good than them.
02:07No gooder.
02:09Okay.
02:09You know, when I air check with Jimmy, he sometimes says to me, you know, your shows
02:13on Saturday, they need to be more gooder than they usually are.
02:21Well, that's one way to start.
02:23Okay.
02:24I'm moving away from this.
02:25I just, I was in disbelief.
02:27I couldn't understand it because it was really the drum core or whatever they have going on
02:31behind the scenes there.
02:32I guess they got all this stuff and no, he did not say be more grittier.
02:37He said more gooder.
02:38More good.
02:40David, one more time.
02:42Instant replay.
02:47Yeah, it's not grit.
02:48I didn't hear grit there.
02:50It almost sounds like good to them.
02:52Be more good to them.
02:56He said be more gooder than them is what he said.
03:00That's tough.
03:01That's tough.
03:02It's tough.
03:04All right.
03:05Welcome in.
03:06Again, we got a little sidetracked by the update because Rico and I were sitting here
03:10and struggling to understand what was happening mainly because of the background noise and
03:15the audio was low on the, on the microphone.
03:19And then Rico just picked up on something I didn't, which was the be more good or good or oh
03:26dear.
03:27Okay.
03:27We'll get to the Pistons later.
03:29We're not doing four hours of it.
03:31Okay.
03:36We'll get to the Pistons at five o'clock because I'm not afraid to tell you.
03:40I don't know my conviction about last series, even down three, one.
03:44I don't have that conviction here one way or the other.
03:47I do think it comes down to one or two questions.
03:51I don't have the answer to it.
03:53We'll get to it.
03:54I was, I was like one of those people in the movies at the whiteboard and the strings attached
03:59trying to figure out and break this thing down.
04:01So I'm with you.
04:02It, yeah, it could go a lot of different ways, but I'll be more good or more good.
04:09Um, okay.
04:11Can we please, so we have audio you'll actually really understand and it doesn't require decoding.
04:18This happened yesterday.
04:19And Kenny, if you wouldn't mind, I want you to name some of the particulars.
04:23Now, this is from Toronto.
04:25This is from Toronto media and Toronto is essentially the New York city of Canada.
04:31Uh, this media, as it pertains to the Toronto Maple Leafs, they don't play.
04:35Hey, and Toronto has made a very controversial hiring.
04:40Uh, is it, how do you pronounce the last name of the GM?
04:44And he basically got sanctioned for illegal scouting and different things with Arizona.
04:48They had to forfeit.
04:49Was it Jonathan Chai book?
04:51I believe it's Chaka is the way I've heard it pronounced.
04:55But again, whatever it is, the guy's name is tarnished.
04:59Okay.
05:00He did some, some things you shouldn't do.
05:03So here is, is the press conference to announce the hiring and who is the writer from the Toronto
05:10sun?
05:10Just not sure who the writer was, but somebody asked a very poignant question with a lot
05:15of details that I think are pretty important that I don't think would be, who was he asking
05:18it to?
05:19He was asking it to their president of ops.
05:22Okay.
05:22The, the, the pobo is, uh, as Rieger calls it the, the poho also, uh, yeah, him and
05:29Matt's son Dean was also there as a specialist.
05:31Shout out Nordique's legend, Matt's son Dean.
05:34All right.
05:35So here's the question.
05:36I want you to just take a listen and then I want to ask a question.
05:39Go ahead.
05:42Okay.
05:43Come on, man.
05:45You know what?
05:46All right.
05:47David.
05:47All right.
05:50That was funny.
05:52That was funny.
05:53I'm not laughing.
05:56I am.
05:57That was funny.
05:58I have the real audio.
05:59Here we go.
06:03Here we go.
06:22Here we go.
06:23Here we go.
06:28Here we go.
06:30Here we go.
06:32Here we go.
06:33Here we go.
06:33Here we go.
06:33Here we go.
06:33Here we go.
06:35Here we go.
06:35Here we go.
06:55okay now that that's pretty funny but it begs a question
07:03that's it no no i know that was the best part and this isn't an eiserman thing this isn't
07:10a langdon thing it's not a scott harris thing it's not a brad holmes thing this is a comprehensive
07:15thing do you as fans even want that anymore see this this is where we get to you know the
07:24old
07:24school way of doing things and then the new school that was very old school right there
07:29that's a hockey reporter for the toronto sun oh and again he he has to have receipts if he's saying
07:38i talked to you know 15 to 20 people in the hockey world this is what they said what's your
07:44response
07:45bottom line is that's old school you're putting them on main street the organization made a decision
07:51that is controversial at best or being viewed as a sham at worst that's a great question that's old
07:59school the new school would be is this higher good greater the best ever two four eight see this is
08:05where i want to know from you guys because i want to land the plane a perfect example i think
08:12we we
08:13talk pretty honestly about the pistons right so yesterday we had a lot of ticket text well geez
08:17mike's being mean what the hell does that even mean i picked you to win the series i told you
08:22you come
08:22back from 3-1 i'm relieved i'm not happy here's why that's not me but what we've done now and
08:29i think
08:29specific to detroit we we don't we don't have that we don't have that because we don't have strong
08:35newspapers well i mean and and if you want to know there's our station but our station's too nice
08:39period i'm viewed as mean because everyone else is too nice i'm not mean it's sports none of this is
08:47real we're not we're not talking about world hunger we're not trying to broker middle eastern peace
08:53it's sports the team is the enemy and until they deliver what we want we're not going to be nice
08:59that's old school the new school is you're in bed with the team rubbing its feet so my question to
09:07you
09:07as an audience as fans as customers when you hear that audio from toronto do you even desire that anymore
09:17or do you like just being told what you want to hear so i did that's i thought the question
09:23was
09:24hilarious i love the that's it that's it that's it that was the answer to uh we listen to we
09:31must
09:31have talked to different people that's that's it that's great and by the way i will say if you
09:37wanted sports i i think the the new hiring would only further austin matthews representation
09:45getting him out of town i know we're not going to do that today but if i'm repping austin matthews
09:51and they just hired a guy who was illegally scouting and sanctioned and all this crap i'm out of here
09:57they didn't hire a serious hockey man but go ahead rico do people still want that no people don't want
10:06that my people want people want you to agree with them people want to hear that their team is the
10:13smartest their team is the best and we have they want validation for their feelings so when national
10:18people and local people will say in the same things that they believe and think about their teams
10:24that's what people want so that's why you'll search it's almost like trying to find that fifth
10:30doctor to finally say no no it's okay to do heavy drugs and do whatever and you'll live a long
10:35time
10:35because everybody else told you this is a horrible idea that's what people are right now with their
10:41opinions they want validation so i'm going to go to whatever website or whatever paper or whatever
10:49writer or whatever host will say what i want them to say and that's my guy they're smart they know
10:56the
10:56truth rather than just hearing the truth rather than just having somebody asked a difficult question
11:03because you know what if you ask that question here in this city you're going to get frowned upon
11:09by not just the team and their people but a lot of the media in the room is going to
11:15look at you
11:15like what's your agenda that's the that's the thing it takes a comprehensive approach where
11:20everybody's got to be on the same side that's just i mean look and when i when i made a
11:25comment about
11:25the newspapers who are we kidding they've been in bed with u of m for 50 years the blue wall
11:30is very
11:30real their case closed the prosecution rests its case so i i just to me no i don't i don't
11:37think
11:38people want it now i think some do i don't think it's a majority anymore and look i'm just gonna
11:44do
11:44what i do until it's not desired anymore and i'll walk away and that's fine but i'm this new wave
11:51of
11:52radio host the new wave of writer the new wave of tv oh my god it's it's like characters from
11:58a lego
11:58movie what the team can't always be right guys go ahead and hustle up that same game parlay on the
12:05screen for us again like what happened to just talking about what happens mike i i'm with you
12:11that a lot of people just they don't want to hear the truth they want to hear what they want
12:15to hear
12:16and if you tell the truth you're a hater you're this you're that i mean look long gone are the
12:22days
12:22of drew sharp to me was like the last writer who would just go out there and tell you something
12:27or
12:27ask a difficult question at a press conference that made people uncomfortable because that's actually
12:32what you're supposed to do but see for for us it's like you talk to the fans we talk about
12:37the news
12:37of the day i'm i'm talking to my customers i've given up on all meat i mean dude look at
12:41espn look
12:42what espn has turned into please yeah you can't even they don't even talk sports they talk narrative
12:47bruh they sponsor wrestling okay you win uh and they're owned by the nfl so right off the rip
12:53you've been compromised right goodbye and script writers fabulous but i would like for instance
13:00how does eiserman not get questions like that considering he's being mocked nationwide
13:06that so things like that but guess what when i ask is this what you want anymore here's what you
13:12get
13:13so it makes it a simple discussion we could laugh about it and we can go damn that was a
13:19hard
13:19liner question i don't think i think in a toronto in a new york in a boston you know the
13:26markets are
13:26dwindling where that's still desired and i don't think detroit wants it anymore because i don't
13:31think this town really wants a championship i think this town just wants to be relevant
13:37is that it is that that's it no you're right this town they want you just to uh agree with
13:45them and
13:45say all the cute little slogans and and actually be a part of the team all right we'll hear from
13:50the
13:50people maybe uh but we got a lot of other stuff to do today but i i thought the audio
13:54was interesting
13:55to start the show 97.1
