00:00Oh, yeah, and we didn't even get to the red card. I was mad. I text you guys. What the
00:05hell is Trajan Langdon doing or more importantly not doing?
00:09Good morning. 97.1 Jim Costa, John Jansen, Heather Park, Gov and Greg behind the glass. It's a Thursday, which
00:15means two grand slam and dear John.
00:19I stuck up for Trajan Langdon for a good part of the show yesterday. Yes, you did. And I said
00:23he's going to crush this Durin thing and he did.
00:25The Lakers go out and get Kessler and it leaves the market for Trajan. He corners Durin. He's going to
00:32get him at his price. Chestnut checkers. Let's go, Trajan.
00:36I like John Collins. I actually think he is better for this team than Tobias Harris. A little younger, a
00:41little more athletic, better catch and shoot.
00:42Corner threes, all of it. I like what we're doing. We're not beholden to our own. Beef stew's gone. Trajan's
00:48setting up to add to this group.
00:51Before he pays Durin and Assar, Trajan's going to be different. He's going to scoot up from the Coney table
00:56and he's going to chart his own course in this city.
00:58I believe in Trajan Langdon. And then I get out of the gym. I look at my phone and I
01:03see an update that Jalen Brown has been traded.
01:06Leg day?
01:08No.
01:10Sorry.
01:13Trying to diffuse the situation a little bit.
01:14Damn it, John.
01:16I see that Jalen Brown has been traded for a Coney and fries.
01:21Walker Kessler was the more coveted trade piece.
01:25Boston took back a bad contract in Paul George, one of the worst contracts in the NBA, a guy who
01:30barely plays and makes a lot of money for the next two seasons and a couple first round picks.
01:37Trajan, where are you?
01:39That guy is a proven number two in this league.
01:42Hell, he's a 1A, 1B. He's a finals MVP.
01:45He was nearly an MVP last season, finishing sixth in the voting.
01:49That's a proven Robin for Cade.
01:52You've already told everybody you don't think Durin's a max player.
01:55Why not offer Durin and two firsts?
01:58Why not be involved to get Jalen Brown to Detroit?
02:01I cannot defend that.
02:03I've defended Trajan a lot.
02:04That's inexcusable.
02:06Did they have the cap space to do it?
02:09Absolutely they could make the cap space to do it.
02:11I'm just trying to poke the bear a little bit because of all of the moves that they have made
02:16and the opportunity to still free up more cash.
02:21Duncan Robinson will cost you two million bucks if he's not here.
02:25Yeah, you could also have thrown him in a trade where he counts as 14 million.
02:28They've given themselves the ability to...
02:30That's the thing.
02:31They've set this...
02:31You could throw Levert and Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland and a pick or two picks and Jalen Brown's here.
02:37And you'd have him with Durin and Asar and Cade.
02:42Yeah, but Paul George...
02:43John?
02:44Paul George may be the most valuable asset in NBA history.
02:51Can I tell you what he's been traded for?
02:53This will be good.
02:54So in his career, he has been traded for Shea Gilgis Alexander, Jalen Brown, Damanis Sabonis, Victor Oladipo, Danilo Ganari.
03:09You want to try that one more time?
03:10No.
03:11And seven first-round picks plus four pick swaps.
03:18That's what he has been worth to NBA franchises throughout the course.
03:22That alone should get him in the Hall of Fame.
03:24Yeah.
03:25I mean...
03:26Plus, he's six years older than Jalen Brown.
03:29Yeah, so I don't know if Boston viewed him as a positive in this deal, but he is regarded as
03:34a negative.
03:35That's a contract you'd have to pay to get off of.
03:38For Philly...
03:39Here's the other thing.
03:40For Philly, this faults them up.
03:42They were...
03:42I know they have him beat, so it slows him down, but they were a fun team with Max C
03:46and Edgecars.
03:46And now they're adding Jalen Brown.
03:48The East isn't waiting around for Trajan Langdon to do it his way.
03:51So, we know Toronto adds Kawhi Leonard.
03:53We see Philly going out and adding Jalen Brown.
03:56Tyrese Halliburton will be healthy, and the Pacers will be back in the mix.
03:59We know the Knicks are the reigning champs, and they're in the East.
04:01We've got to deal with them.
04:02Yeah, but Boston's not better.
04:04All right, John.
04:08Should have had leg day.
04:09Think about it.
04:10Let's say LeBron joins Cleveland or Miami.
04:12These other teams...
04:13We're not waiting around for the Pistons to slow cook, and now we're making Brad Holmes jokes.
04:18And I wanted to believe Trajan would be different.
04:23Yeah, but he got...
04:24He'll get Dern at the price that he wants to get.
04:27And that's all well and good.
04:29I was all about what he was doing.
04:33Walking arm-in-arm with Trajan Langdon every step of the way.
04:38I just pulled up Twitch.
04:41I apologize.
04:41I wasn't on Twitch earlier for all our Twitchers.
04:47They're not blaming Trajan Langdon or Boston or Paul George.
04:53No.
04:54They're blaming you.
04:55No!
04:56Oh, yeah.
04:58Uh-huh.
04:59And clearly the Pistons didn't have the corpse to trade to Boston for Brown.
05:04Kosta jinxed the Pistons the same way he jinxes all our teams.
05:08Followed up by...
05:09That's a good point.
05:10The Kosta jinx strikes again.
05:14I'm not even allowed to believe in our teams.
05:16That's what you're telling me.
05:18It's the Kosta jinx.
05:20I'm not even allowed to believe in.
05:20It was a Kosta lock, they're saying.
05:22Oh, God.
05:23Look, if you think I was irate, imagine being a fan of the Celtics.
05:27Oh.
05:28You thought you were getting Giannis, and you traded him for Paul George.
05:33Right.
05:34And there is one notable Celtics fan who works at this station.
05:37What was his reaction?
05:38He was spiraling.
05:40I was texting him, and he was making some colorful analogies that are not safe for radio involving chainsaws.
05:45And I just...
05:46We don't need to go there.
05:48Let's get to Heather with the news.
05:51Good morning, you guys.
05:53Good morning.
05:53This news is brought to you by Fusion Energy.
05:55Gee, well, you probably saw the daredevil couple that took their love to new heights when they climbed to the
06:01top of the Empire State Building and then got engaged.
06:04And then got arrested.
06:06Yeah.
06:06Love story.
06:07The couple that gets arrested together stays together, even though they might be separated for 90 days.
06:13Yes.
06:13So, they obviously, they scaled the antenna to the top of the Empire State Building.
06:17They hoisted a flag that said, when the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.
06:23Then, they kind of climbed down from the very top to this, like, landing, got engaged.
06:28She said yes.
06:30Oh, happy.
06:31Fireworks went off.
06:32And then, they were arrested.
06:34They were identified later as this Russian couple that are known, like, these Russian climbers.
06:38They were featured on a 2024 Netflix documentary, Skywalkers, A Love Story.
06:44Like, this is what they're known for doing, like, embarking on these dangerous climbs with little to no safety equipment.
06:50Was he able to get on one knee?
06:51He did.
06:52Yeah, he got down on one knee.
06:54Shihad?
06:55They were charged with felony burglary, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and then, of course, other offenses as well.
07:03No word exactly on how they were able to get access to this antenna because it's not open to the
07:09public.
07:09Like, it's not something, obviously, people can go do.
07:13But the proposal did take place about 1,300 feet above the streets of New York.
07:19So, congrats to the happy couple.
07:21Tom was saying there's a nickname for them?
07:24Yeah, I don't remember what it was.
07:26Ring Kong?
07:29Okay.
07:32Let's see.
07:33Michigan health officials are investigating what appears to be this major outbreak of a parasite that's causing severe gastrointestinal illnesses.
07:41How do they describe those gastrointestinal illness?
07:44Well, extreme, explosive, watery, diarrhea, yes, and stomach cramps, lots of other things.
07:54Let's see.
07:54As of Tuesday, more than 170 cases of this parasite.
07:59I could be saying this wrong.
08:02Cyclosporiasis.
08:03I'm sure you nailed it.
08:03That's the official name of it.
08:04Have been reported in just the past nine days.
08:07So, this is across, you know, Wayne, Monroe, Washtenaw, Livingston, Jackson, Lenawee, all over those counties.
08:14Now, for comparison, Michigan typically sees about 50 cases of this the entire year.
08:20Yeah.
08:21So, the illness is caused by a microscopic parasite, which is usually spread, I guess, through, like, food or water
08:29that's been contaminated, like, with feces.
08:32Oh.
08:33I guess.
08:33Like, you're not going to spread it person to person.
08:35Oh, okay.
08:36You're going to get it.
08:36Whatever.
08:37But, yes.
08:37Unless you're at a concert.
08:39Yeah.
08:41Where feces is being spread around.
08:43Yeah.
08:43Yeah, I guess.
08:44But you're still not.
08:45Like, if I dropped a pretzel on the ground and it landed in, like, particles of poop and then I
08:54ate it.
08:55Why would you do that?
08:56Well, you're talking about a concert.
08:58Right.
08:58So, okay.
08:58And I ate it and I get sick.
08:59Why is it going to be a pretzel?
09:00You wrote a pretzel for me.
09:01I would spread it to my husband if I were to kiss him.
09:05It sounds.
09:05You know what I mean?
09:06Right.
09:06Unless you still had poop on your leg.
09:07I guess so.
09:09That's such a gross.
09:11Anyway.
09:12And that's the only way for it to exit the body?
09:16Sounds like it.
09:16Yeah.
09:17Because the symptoms can include prolonged watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, bloating, loss of an appetite, yada, yada, yada,
09:25yada, yada, yada.
09:26So.
09:26Something to look forward to.
09:27Wash your hands.
09:29Yeah.
09:29Be safe on there.
09:30Drink bottled water.
09:31I guess.
09:33Don't pick up a pencil or a pretzel at a concert.
09:35That fell onto the floor where somebody pooped.
09:38So.
09:38Yep.
09:39Yeah.
09:40All right.
09:41That's Heather.
09:41Thank you, Heather.
09:42Yes.
09:43We did not make that easy for you.
09:45Oh, we're not going to make the next segment easy for you either.
