SPEAKER_00 0:15

Hey everyone, welcome to the Voice Notes Podcast. I am Janice, your host, and with me are my co-hosts and besties, Lauren and Nikki. Each week, we bring you a relaxed chat with different takes on music, entertainment, fitness, and just all around life. So whether you're driving, you're at work, you're at the gym, or just lounging, let's get into it. We've covered a lot of music topics, but I think that I would like to talk about now something that's been on the news for so long and it hasn't been resolved yet. But Savannah Guthrie is back. I still can't get work.

SPEAKER_03 0:51

I found a mom.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 0:53

It's uh it's she went back to work. Yeah. Because that's what women do. Let's be honest. Let's be for real. Like, we're built for those houses. You gotta build those pants on and be like keep moving.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

And the first day that she went back, TMZ got another letter. Yeah, I saw that. Like, it's like it's an inside job.

SPEAKER_03 1:09

And then it was so two, yeah. Yeah, so two letters. The letter came in, it was like we didn't realize how much care she would need. It was like something very strange to the effect of like Really? Yeah, something to do with the mom's uh physicality. I agree with the inside job.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

I think it's an inside job. I think that she was probably enough documentary. We've seen enough shows or whatever. We've watched enough, you know. I mean, I don't watch the news, but I know enough to know that enough SPU. Yeah, I just I mean, I think she was probably gone around the Olympic time in that way.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

She had to like not say that she wasn't going to be in the middle. Right now, yeah, because she wasn't gonna be in Italy. She didn't go.

SPEAKER_03 1:48

Yeah, so I don't I don't think she's around anymore either. Money, maybe, but I'm like, but I don't because even even some of the videos of looking back, like Savannah Guthrie would be there with like her siblings, and she'd be like, We hear you, and we receive like your demands. It would be very it was very like odd, like the wording. And can I just say for the record that John Ramsey needs to stop? Is it John Ramsey? John's John Bonnet's Yeah, he's been saying stuff since day one. Because we know what he did. Sir, please sit down. Exactly. Sit down, sir. It's this is an over, like you're doing like a And where's he? He's coming out of the woodwork. Where has he been?

SPEAKER_00 2:25

He's always like all involved now. It's like uh that documentary was something else.

SPEAKER_03 2:30

It sure was, absolutely. John Bonnet Ramsey, yeah, absolutely. That is but yeah, Savannah Guthrie's family, it's is she's back to work though, and still can't find the mom. And it's all so she doesn't know where she is.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

No, that's what I said.

SPEAKER_03 2:46

And the TMZ aspect of it is very strange. It's so weird. Like, why TMZ? Yeah, and it's that it's like a that's like tabloid.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

It's not really Harry Levin, yeah. Yeah, Mary Levin, right? Yeah, well, shout out to Savannah. I mean, that takes a lot of strength to be kind of or you have to be like kind of normal.

SPEAKER_01 3:09

Yeah, and kind of like get on with life, even though you don't know what happened to your mom. There's like no closure. But I definitely, I'm just things that make you go, hmm.

SPEAKER_03 3:19

Yeah, I got a lot of questions. I got more questions and answers. Yeah. Um, definitely something something's inside. Somebody told me they think it's the brother. I've heard that from a few people because they were like, if you watch the brothers interviews, yeah, a few people were like, just his response and stuff like that. It's like, and yeah, there's a shock aspect. And I was talking to somebody recently, and they're like, There's a shock aspect, but when you see his face, the response is just very mechanical and strange. And I'm like, I mean, I don't want to be armchair quarterback here, like, I have no idea. But right, then you know, stranger things have happened. I mean, it's just the whole John Ramsey, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

I'm sorry. John Panny Ramsey. Yeah, things come out later on. It's like an initial. You were doing a lot of yeah, exactly. You were the first on the scene, and you moved the body.

SPEAKER_03 4:01

Yeah, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 4:02

You carried her upstairs, like and then your wife did full glam before the EMC got there? Yeah, no, no. The other um hot topic or that's been on the news is the Gilgold Beach um he finally was like, I'm gonna put it. Yeah, and you what? Have you finally excuse me?

SPEAKER_03 4:20

Have you watched that documentary? Yes. Yes. Uh I was I was also an SVU years ago. Yeah. Intense. Now, here's my thing. He was like this architect in the city, right? Yes. His house, did you see his house? Yes. His house was a house of like horrors. You were like, and not because we thought he was a serial murderer, which he was just like that house on the street that like unkept and overgrown. And it was his house that he grew up in. Yes. And then then, like, the white and then the wife was like, she was like left of center, she'd be like, I'm like, you didn't know, like, whenever she went away, that's when he was like murdering women.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

How did you not know? How as a wife do you not pick up on something? She was like weird. And then she was on the phone with him, like, she's like, Oh, I love you, or whatever else.

SPEAKER_03 5:06

And then towards the end of the documentary, the daughter's like, Yeah, I think he did it. Right? He did it. Yeah. And now he's now he's he and he said, Yeah, I did it. Yeah, and then in eighth person.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:17

Yeah. He was, and that was a law and order.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

Yeah, it sure was. That's what I'm saying. It's just that these these stories that you follow, they just have some endings that are like great. Savannah Guthrie, I mean, I feel for her. I do.

SPEAKER_03 5:31

I hope that she gets the closure that she needs because I hope like you know, overthink the best situation that her mom is recovered somehow, somewhere. But the concern is that I think her mom, the Apple Watch, was disabled or taken off, and the mom, you know, like many 82-year-old people, has medications and things they have to do. So now you're how many days without her, how many months without it? Like it's rough. It's really, really rough. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

But kudos to her, she made it back to work. I hope that um, women are suffering from type of distraction, but reality is your mom is still missing. Yeah, yeah. It's still in the news, it's craziness.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

Right, yeah, definitely. She's gonna have to get on, but she's still, it's always gonna be in the back of her mind. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:11

Always. So, what else is in the news? Switching gears, if you guys want to talk about I'll tell you.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

Goff art Artemis 2. So what? And so many conspiracy conspiracy theories out there.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

I was like, what is that? Somebody I was talking to somebody today, and they were telling me how into it they are, and it was adorable because they were so passionate about it. That's so cute. And I was like, Yeah, I'm good.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

I was into it like that. I was I started following NASA. Oh, did you? Yes! Yes! Okay, flash down. I watched it live because when they came out. I was so amazed. I heard they could walk this time because they gave them special exercises. Yes. So I was amazed.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

Oh, Hail Mary. It was a very good movie. That was fantastic. Yeah. Fantastic movie. Very good book too.

SPEAKER_00 7:01

I'm working on it now. So here's the thing, right? And this is the problem I have with social media, right? Is that let's go back in history when they claim that man first walked on the moon. And I say they claim because now it's like, did they not? Did they? Did I have no idea, right? In my mind, I feel like yes, right? We did set food foot foot on the moon. Eventually. Eventually.

SPEAKER_03 7:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:23

Um at that time.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

No. If we go back to like 9 60 68 or 6.

SPEAKER_01 7:29

On that have a cookie.

SPEAKER_03 7:31

So the original, I think that the original moon landing, which Buzz Aldrin and the whole jaws like that, right? So I do think it was fake. Um I can't. So this is this is my so you contextually speaking, do I think it happened?

SPEAKER_01 7:46

Oh, like Pluto doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_03 7:48

69. Pluto's a fake, it's a fake uh. Somebody was like, what about flat earthers?

SPEAKER_02 7:53

I'm like, they just discovered another planet. It's Saida, Sayada, something like that. Sciatica. And I'm like, where did this come from?

SPEAKER_00 8:02

Like, and how what did they discover that? It's the farthest planet. The creation is grandma.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Humans are the little dusts appearing for a while. The first human moon landing occurred on July 20th, 1969. Okay, that's the Apollo 11. So that's the famous Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin landed the lunar module eagle at 4 17 p.m. Armstrong taking his historic first steps on the surface. Okay. So contextually, that was a time period where the US was in a space race with Russia. Correct. Right? So it's like one of the big in the 1960s, the Kennedy administration, which is the beginning of the 60s, you have Eisenhower who comes out of like World War II. Eisenhower is president in the late 50s, and then you have Kennedy comes in. So there's there's JFK, and then he's assassinated. The Kennedy administration was very, very much all about the moon, but like they were like space race, it was one of the many things, including civil rights, and including lots of things, including the Bay of Pigs invasion, which ultimately probably was a reason why he was assassinated, but that's all the story. By 69, the US had still not gone to the moon, but there had been Sputnik. Um that was like a Russian attempt to get to the moon. Um but to put a man physically on the moon had not happened. There's no air on the moon, and the flag is blowing on the moon. So there's like air, so that's a big one. Right. Because it's the atmosphere is different.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Um how dare they lie to us about that though. So it was aware. We even learned that in school.

SPEAKER_03 9:28

Moon landings were fake. So it was done in a way to because remember, propaganda, and like it's 69. So for the times, contextually, now we get news immediately. And it's like, guys, immediately, right? We have TikTok and it's like on accident we have right now. Yeah. Back then, it was still it was very much like nightly news. I mean, JFK, the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald was on TV actually. Watching the news that night is what they did. And you know, Jack Ruby walks up to Lee Harvey Oswald as he's being walked down in Dallas and he shoots him on national television. That's not fake. That's actually what happened. That happened, yeah. But later on in 69, like with everything with the moon landing, there was so much hype around it, and it had happened because it was a way for the US to achieve the space race and beat Russia because the US and Russia were still in this cold war. So, like after World War II, there's that, but the Cold War was like all the nuclear, nuclear um expansion, the nuclear programs, um, and space was part of it. So, to kind of just achieve it and learn it and beat them to it, you had this whole huge event that happened, and so later on, I guess I don't know who went to the moon after that. Like then there's Apollo 11. Well, Apollo 11 is the same.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

It was 11, 12, and wasn't it 13?

SPEAKER_03 10:43

Well, it went up to 13, didn't it? There was the one that Tom Hanks was in the years later. That's 13. 13, Apollo 13's one where wait Tom Hanks in the movie.

SPEAKER_00 10:51

The movie, he didn't go to the moon.

SPEAKER_03 10:54

He did a lot of things.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

No. There were later moon adventures that yeah, by that point, yes. But no one actually set foot on the moon because this is what they want to do next initial 28. I think they want to do that next.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

This this whole Artemis? Artemis 2. Artemis II, they flew around. They flew around, which was beautiful. But here's the thing of the moon.

SPEAKER_00 11:16

People were like, That's not real. That it's AI. And I'm like, listen, I get the whole thing of AI and how you AI is a powerful thing. But I believe this time was real. That they didn't have a lot of things.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

This was real. I thought so.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

Yes, I believe it wholeheartedly. And when they were showing you thought it was AI up there? Yeah, it's a whole controversy. And when they showed the earth, the whole the world is flat was like a well. That to me is the most ridiculous thing ever.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

I mean, that the world is flat. That has never been true. Right.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Exactly. So it's like you had all these just so in it, wait, in addition to so let's say 69, April.

SPEAKER_03 11:59

So they said the first one was 69. 69, right?

SPEAKER_00 12:01

Which you're saying never really happened. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:03

But then later ones, so Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, Apollo 17 are all American men have set foot on lunar surface. So they were able to do it. Oh, afterwards, it's possible. Okay. Moon landing, a whole thing like that. Okay. It's just that the first one. Yeah, we're just thinking about the very fake.

SPEAKER_02 12:23

With the flag. Allegedly. Like we are alleging. Orchestrated. We are not making it. Making it a fast orchestrated. Orchestrated for publicity.

SPEAKER_00 12:31

We gotta go back and look at that. You gotta watch it. But I have to say, I was so impressed, and I yes, I was heavily into it. I actually got very emotional when they showed the picture of the earth because it just shows how we are just specks.

SPEAKER_01 12:47

Dust. Dust. And how creation is just so massive and gorgeous. So it's like we don't know the like I don't even know the percentage that we don't know. Right? That we do know. The percentage that we don't know is like infinitely higher.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

And to see the craters, the actual craters are in the moon as they walk, like they're you know, they're traveling around it. And the mere fact that it took them exactly 10 days and they come back. And the splashdown was so perfect. Oh good. The parachutes coming out, the second set of parachutes.

SPEAKER_01 13:23

Me too.

SPEAKER_00 13:24

It was beautiful. I probably was watching and I shout out all those the Navy SEALs, the Coast Guard. It was so they landed back safe. Perfect, yes, good, perfectly done. And then they had the um like the um health individuals go in first to make sure that they're good because that's a whole different like dynamic. Yeah, yeah. So they wanted to make sure they wanted to make sure they were okay. So for them, I think it was like probably a good 45 minutes to an hour before they actually.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

I think it should be physical and mental talk to about it too. Yeah, I agree with that.

SPEAKER_00 13:58

I don't know if he was the captain or not, but he was the um the the the black astronaut. Okay. And how many was up there? Four. Four. Oh female, yeah, three males. Oh, good for them. Good. And it was the um the man of color, if I could say that, the black guy. Um he's very careful about what people say to you.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

Black astronauts. Thank you very much. Why are you gonna sound black?

SPEAKER_05 14:30

I know, right?

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Sound like a he was. I love when he came back and they were in um they were interviewing him, and he said how he want he didn't want this to be uh look at look at the black astronauts and the fact that you can achieve that, or being a woman and woman power, and you can achieve that. It's about the human aspect and the fact that as a human you can go up there and see creation in that way. Yeah, and in my mind, I'm your dreams can come true, but it's just it's just it was just awe-inspiring. You know, you're so used to seeing things on movies or or like video things like that, but to actually see it as it was happening, it was beautiful. So I was heavily into it. Oh, that's good. Do I feel it actually happened? Yes, I don't believe any of it was AI generated.

SPEAKER_03 15:24

I think it yeah, and just recently, all that happened. Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna publish the photos.

SPEAKER_00 15:29

I think that's the geographics from the photos. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

Yeah, I'll watch it.

SPEAKER_00 15:32

I definitely believe it.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

Um I was watching TV uh coming in.

SPEAKER_00 15:37

Listen, YouTube, shout out to YouTube because YouTube was the place, and I was like I said, I followed NASA, so you could watch it live there too. Um, but following NASA is backing me up right now.

SPEAKER_02 15:48

I did not follow NASA, but I think of the Milky Way in the Milky Way. I mean, it's really into it.

SPEAKER_04 15:58

Yes, that and TMZ. That was my two golds of methods. I'm sorry. It was I was really into it. She's sending me all of the messages. She's like, why are you not excited? I was like, no, I thought you guys would be into it, but no. If you love it, I like it. You need a t-shirt. I need to get you a t-shirt. If you love it, I like to like it.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

I'm here for you. I love passion and other people. I love passion in other people.

SPEAKER_03 16:27

Because I want them to enjoy my passion. You know what I mean? Because when I started explaining to you my theories in the 1960s, your eyes lost a lot. I was like, when I start getting into sports and everything, now you guys know.

SPEAKER_01 16:40

You know, everyone has passions about something. But I love how we all embrace it with each other.

SPEAKER_00 16:44

So it was very interesting. I'm so glad I was part of um history, so to say.

SPEAKER_03 16:49

We were able to see that. The photos, listen, the photos are gonna be out of control because I think they were photographing for so beautiful. Um oh my goodness, somebody told me that one of the one of the astronauts was like, we have to take the photos for whatever, how are they gonna publish outlet? And I do think it's National Geographic or Time Magazine. So it's gonna be funny.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

Yeah. So shout out to Artemis crew. Happy they made it back safe. Thank you for showing us the beautiful images of the moon. Because you know I'm a moon girl. Oh, yeah. I love the moon. Um, so it was it was really deep. They look beautiful. I want to go to sports. Let's get this going. March.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

March Madness was where it is at. My bracket blew up the first day. I was so, so mad. But March Madness, um, it was so I had Arizona winning the entire thing. And of course, they decide to play the most horrible game when they went to the final four and did not get to um get to the final, but that was a good thing. Um that was, yeah. I I love myself some some some March Madness. It was, it was, it was really, really good. It was good. Um, and I um I only watch um I only watch the the men. I don't watch Oh, I watched the women. But the women I didn't know they played. Um yeah. Yeah, it was I watched the women's. Yeah. It was great. It was great. It was really, really, it was really, really good. And the favorite to win was Yukon because they always they always win.

SPEAKER_03 18:26

I think Michigan won.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

Um no, you sell UCLA, uh, the Bruins won for the girls. Oh yeah. Who won the boys? Um uh Michigan. Michigan. Yeah, Michigan. Um, but the the the the girls was uh a good one because South Carolina snapped Yukon's 54 game winning streak. Oh my god. I was so wanting them to I wanted them to go all the way up. Yep, so they snapped their um there's they snapped their winning streak and then um they didn't play well in the final against uh UCLA, so uh the Bruins won with that.

SPEAKER_03 19:02

But now do they get paid now? Because I I read that there was a girl, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Some of the years they were so happy you brought that up.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Some of them get paid more than the professionals. Do you know that some of them were only making sixty thousand dollars a year? The women basketball players. That's a shame. So there was someone, and I forgot her name. Pay Despair. She fought and fought and fought and fought for them. Now they're getting the pay as the male basketball player. As a male.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

How do you not pick this? All goes back to the whole and women thing and how women are just not. Women are always underpaid, they're paid like a third of what men make or something like that for the same decision. Yeah, play hard. You ever watch a women's basketball game? They played. No, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

I've never as much as I love sports, I never watch so much. The only women's sports that I love to watch is tennis, of course, or um volleyball. Or um yeah, beach volleyball. I do watch the hockey in um in uh in the Olympics and of course the skiing and all of that, but I have never been into the women's basketball. But my dad, he likes that better than the men's. I have to say I agree. The the men's, the professional, yeah, yeah. Um the professional in college, but colleges, yeah, they're good. Yeah, I don't I don't I don't watch it. Yeah, yeah. But um Marcia Madness was uh uh good times, but I want to talk about um Don Saley. Please I love her, I respect her. I've always respected her. Like I like I say, I don't watch I don't watch uh the games or whatever, but I've always respected her. Um she won Coach of the Year, she was one of the first one women to win coach of the year over all of the males that's in the in the league. And she just she just always keeps it real. She loves her she loves her team. She loves, you know, she loves she she's just a a a genuine good woman, you know. And um Who does she coach for? Who's she South Carolina? She's the one, yeah. Her team is the one that beat um beat UConn. And then uh UConn's coach was a butthurt and like a sore loser um because he lost, um, they lost and he was uh complaining about Dawn and saying that she didn't um say she didn't say hi to me, she didn't shake my hand, before the game, before the game, even even though she did, you know, there's video good to know that it's not just every other business world the same thing happens. Like, good to know that it's exactly synonymous through all the facts. There's video of her shaking everyone's hand in warm-ups, and it included him. But everybody's gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_00 21:39

Yeah, he just met the job. Yeah, but the way she handled it, Philly was perfect. She was not playing. She sure was, but I'm in his face. Yeah, looking at Philly.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

Dawn Staley.

SPEAKER_00 21:52

And she even said in an interview, she's like, I'm from Philly. So it's like she went in on him. And I love when all the other women come. Came and the ref even high five her, yeah. Yeah, the ref even high-five to her, like they knew she was in the right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:07

And she was not dumb at me on the court. Exactly. You know, thinking you somebody. Right. Like, what are you talking about? And I love offending. I love beating lips. You better love beating lips.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

What are you talking about? What are you talking about? What are you coming to me like that? Oh my gosh. She was, you gotta look it up on YouTube.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

You just gotta watch it.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

She just informed WNBA player. Yeah, herself. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Most of the time the coaches have played played ball before. Of course, that got me more intrigued about her. So I learned so much about her in 24 hours because I researched everything about her. And then I decided to follow her. Oh, I follow her already.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

Even though I don't watch women's basketball, but I just like her. What? Yeah, women like her. I respect her so much. Because I also watched the Espies.

SPEAKER_04 22:51

Oh, you do?

SPEAKER_01 22:53

Well, it's important. Why am I supporting the show?

SPEAKER_04 22:57

Yeah, why am I supporting it?

SPEAKER_01 22:58

Yeah. So yeah. And that's when I um that's when I first heard about her um a while ago. And I just I just always liked her. That's where she um she won Coach of the Year. She won like um like a women's sportsmanship uh award or whatever like that. But I was like, I just like this, I just like this lady. Yeah, I really do. I respect her a lot.

SPEAKER_00 23:17

Out of all the coaches that I've watched, she struck me more. Just her vibe. She is just this woman like that.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

You see like her Wikipedia entry? Like first round, first round draft pick, ninth pick, 1999, point guard, which is just nothing to sneeze at. And has done the work.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

That was like I gotta say, though, WNBA, the the the um the girls that play in both college and um professional, professional, they are beautiful girls.

SPEAKER_03 23:47

Oh, yeah, they're stunning.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

They are beautiful girls, and they have so their makeup is so different because they're athletes, right? So they look a little bit more rough. Yeah. So when you see them being interviewed without their text or whatever, yeah, they are smart girls. You hear intelligent, yeah, intelligent, yeah, smart, and the fact that they could play that game with this basketball. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 24:09

I've yeah, I've just never gotten in, I've never gotten into it, but I respect it for sure. Yeah, they're very talented, very, very talented. But yeah, going back to the pay, even like Michael Jordan, like he got 90% of his money from endorsement. His base salary was chump change, quote unquote. But all of most of his um pay came from his endorsement. So yeah, the pay is always you know, pretty much low. Um, but now college players they get paid, and that's a huge they were not getting time.

SPEAKER_03 24:45

So the university was a very long time. Because I I mean March Madness has been around forever. Oh, forever. Yeah. I remember one of my friends made a bracket on the water in high school. Like it's been forever. Oh, yeah. So I saw a report a few years ago. I think the push was that the players had to be compensated because the universities were making money because of uh, I guess, commercials and things like that, right? But the students were not, and then they were like, How is that fair? Because they're they're they're endorse like their images, their likenesses are being used on all this, and they're not making money. And these are college kids. And I guess the idea was for a while, well, a lot of them are on scholarships, a lot of them, whatever. But you are making money.

SPEAKER_01 25:25

But so now they're getting like they're they're getting paid through like endorsements and um appearances and like different things or whatever. They're working, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:34

They're working as harder or even as harder than professional athletes because you know, um, they're learning still to play and they're in college and they're have to, you know, maintain um their academic status in order to still play, you know.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

So and a lot of them are uh it's much more entertaining, much more talented sometimes than you know the professionals. Sure.

SPEAKER_00 25:55

So what else is going on in sports?

SPEAKER_01 25:57

But let's see what else is going on in sports. My favorite redhead, Yannick Center, he got another uh trophy today. He won in Monte Carlo. I love him. I love a good ginger. What did you post? 49ers, too.

SPEAKER_03 26:11

You had a 49ers.

SPEAKER_01 26:11

Oh, 49ers, yes, my 49ers. Thanks for paying attention. I didn't know what it was, but it was there. 80th anniversary 80 years. So um, and uh my boy that was doing the um the video that I posted, it was my favorite um niner, Jerry Rice, and his number is 82. I had that jersey. Oh, nice. Um, so yeah, it's a it's a pretty pretty major milestone.

SPEAKER_00 26:37

So I know you don't like baseball, right? You're not you're not a big fan. I like baseball. I'm not a big fan. I'll go to a game though. Okay, yeah. So do you feel like summer is a break for you when it comes to sports?

SPEAKER_01 26:48

Summer is a break for me.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

Yeah. Because there's not a lot going on.

SPEAKER_01 26:51

Only only really only really tennis. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Okay. Yeah. So because basketball hits. Basketball is over. Yeah. I only watch um the um, and I'm talking about professional basketball. Yeah. Uh I only watch the finals. Okay. Yeah. Oh, you don't watch it?

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Oh, actually. Oh my god. I feel like I'm constantly watching it.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

It's not like it was before. Yeah. I used to watch all 82 games religiously, especially when Michael Jordan was still playing. That was the Bulls was. I sent you the interview. I love the interview. Well now I'm gonna talk about it. Yeah. Oh, you need to send it. Now I'm totally gonna get into NASCAR because he owns a team. He's so smart when he eats. Yeah. And he talks, he talks about, they asked him who does he think is the goat. Loved his answer. What did he say? Loved his answer. He says that there's there's no such term. Yeah, there's no such term.

SPEAKER_00 27:41

I feel like it's seasonal.

SPEAKER_01 27:42

Yeah. Um, because he in in his mind, he was like, you you can't really he can't really compare because there's one um one guy, Bill Russell, who played for the Celtics, I remember, who won more titles than him. Yeah, he won 11 titles. You know what I mean? So he's like, I um he's like, I I don't believe in that.

SPEAKER_00 28:02

I just feel that it's what people make it. It's what people it the fans make it to be. That's it. Because, and I know we're gonna have a separate podcast, and we're gonna definitely have we're gonna get into that. There's gonna be a whole podcast on Jordan versus LeBron, and I look forward to that. But I feel like yes, LeBron may be the headliner out there now because he's well known, but there are so many other good Yeah, the guy on the Knicks, he is so good. Is it Jalen? Jalen Bronson? Yeah, and I'm like, yeah, I'm watching a game with Keen, and I'm like, this guy is good, but then there's that other who's the other kid that he's just super huge. I forgot what his he's just so tall. Another great player, and I'm like, Oh, yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of good players. It's just that the fans highlight that one part, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

And also I just I I really get into it because people that watch basketball today and didn't watch it previously. They have nothing to fall back on. You you know, nope, just no. You just can't, you just can't. No, you just can't. It's just like those Seattle Seahawk fans. Yeah. That I'm like, calm down, did you ever know they were in a different conference? Yeah. When did you become a fan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In 2020. In 2022?

unknown 29:19

No.

SPEAKER_01 29:19

Yeah. So anyway, that's where I get into like, yes, let's remember history here. Yeah. Yeah. But the the interview, it's so, so good. So so good. Yeah. He talked about NASCAR, he talked about his uh expectations of expectations of his kids. Yeah, um, yeah, it was such he eloquent, he just worded it eloquently, and like it was just such a great answer. And also, um, she was like, Do you miss basketball? And he said, Yeah, he, you know, he does. He's like, um, but he didn't miss everything that came along with it after a while because he was he was it. Nobody could tell me that that's a hill I'm dying on. Yeah, nobody can tell me anything about Jordan, you know what I mean? So um, but he said he doesn't miss any of that. But the competitiveness, he he is, he will go down as one of the most fierce competitors I have ever seen.

SPEAKER_00 30:14

So let me ask you this though. Okay, there were so many players during that Jordan era like Larry Bird, Isaiah Thomas, yes, Scottie Pippen. There were so many Magic Johnson. Yes, so it was like I need to understand what made Michael Michael. And I know we're gonna get into absolutely I can't wait for that. I can't wait for that episode. I cannot wait to get into that because I'm gonna get into that.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

I have his book and all it and also um the documentary on the Bulls, you will see how he was. Yeah, also before when he was on North Carolina Tar Hills. That's why I don't like Duke.

SPEAKER_00 30:50

Yeah, because I'm a Tar Hills fan. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

Um James Worthy, him and James Worthy were on on the same team. So you will see the death of how he became who he was in all aspects of his life. Yeah, I really feel too his someone killed his dad because of who he is and who he was. He he's very transparent too about his gambling.

SPEAKER_03 31:16

Yeah, you know, um, absolutely hundred percent. He was definitely gambling, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:22

Yeah, yeah. It's a gambling problem, like you know, so all he's very he's always been transparent. Always been transparent about everything, you know what I mean? He was like, Yeah, I was hard on them because I was hard on myself, you know. I expect he has such high expectations and standards, which reminds me of myself a lot, you know, that it's sometimes it's unre unreasonable. Yeah, you know what I mean? And one of my favorite quotes by him is like, you know, I I fail all the time, you know. But he was like, I will never not try. I will never not try. He was like, Yeah, I'm I miss I miss all the time, you know. Um they rely on me for that last that last shot. Yeah, and I missed. But you know what? I still try. Yeah, but yeah, I cannot wait to talk about that more.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

Yes, we are definitely gonna have a future episode about that.

SPEAKER_01 32:09

It's gonna be I can go on and on. That's where my passion comes out. Yeah, yes. One of my passions, anyway.

SPEAKER_00 32:16

I I love meeting people, and not to say, you know, men should be the only ones in sports, but when you meet a female who's heavily into sports like that and can hold her own. Oh, thank you.
