Welcome to the big suey, presented by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
Starting point is 00:01:49 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I'm a little bit worried about whether or not I'm going to have the stamina for this season because football arrived last night. And there were more games than I was expecting. I got a bit jostled by the amount of games that were there. and then in the middle of it, you have a giant transaction, and now we head into a weekend of, you know, insanity among college football games before we prepare for the, you know, when Daddy gets home. And the thing that I wanted to not just skip past because we're going to get into the merriment of football soon enough,
Starting point is 00:02:51 did you see the report on Jim Ursay? because it made me uncomfortable in a number of different ways. Jim Ursay obviously is gone, and the reports that were basically verified in the statement by the family after his death is that he was having a number of relapses, drug relapses, before he died. And it felt wrong to me to report that after his death, but it's not wrong to report that after its death. It just made me queasy and uncomfortable because he's already dead
Starting point is 00:03:22 and reporting sort of family embarrassments to me just land on the living. So I had an uncomfortable feeling with the reporting, but I can't really be mad about the reporting because these are what the facts are, and the family confirms it in the statement. But the thing that I wanted to ask you guys, because I don't think this is sort of known or talked about enough, the cults were being run by a drug addict, like the entire time. And he was recovering, but he had an assortment of issues.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I don't say that as disparagement. I do not say... Well, it was just weird considering the preamble. But I'm not saying, no, I want to actually discuss the difficult parts of this because the man in charge had a problem that often leaked out into public, but those weren't the only times there were the problems. So this gives you license now that it's out there to talk about it like this. I'm going to talk about it through the honesty of what my feelings were as I received it.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Jim Ursay to me, I'm not judging the drug addiction. This is a plague. Like, we are addicted as Americans and the globe's addicted to all sorts of things. But I wanted to have the conversation of what do you do or how do you do it when the man at the very top of the entire power chain has all manner of erratic behaviors that are tied up. And what he admitted to while living was a constant drug and drinking problem because of wherever the addictions were. as someone who climbed through the organization with no real expertise other than he was a ballboy once inherited everything. And then the top of the Colts was being run by somebody who had the instabilities that you would associate with addiction. And what I'm asking you is, what do you do
Starting point is 00:05:05 when the power structure at the very top? Like, how does all that get managed in private? Never mind when it would spill out into public so we would all find out about it. How do you manage that as an organization as a league and everything else when the very top of your pyramid in power has a problem that he cannot correct i think they managed it pretty effectively they they they won while he was there to your earlier jerry jones point jim ursay did it look there are plenty of examples uh metal arc should know well uh when someone at the top of the top of the executive chain is dealing with something you can do this effectively you can be functional. You can be
Starting point is 00:05:48 uber successful. And that's what the Indianapolis Colts were, by the way. But it's not what Jim Ursay was, not in public. Jim Mersey had messes that you did not associate with any other NFL owner. Well, what is the NFL owner's job to increase the value of his franchise and have success on the field?
Starting point is 00:06:05 And I understand there are other jobs that go there, run a good organization. I don't know anything about the inner workings of the Indianapolis Colts organization, but I also know there haven't been exposés on that franchise the way that they have been with others. So I think he was effective in his job, functional for the problems that he had. I'm sure this was a nightmare to deal with with the family.
Starting point is 00:06:27 And to your earlier point, I actually do think the media did a really good job in respecting the privacy because it was painfully obvious to everyone what happened there during the NBA final. Oh, but it can be painfully obvious. And yet still, we have not talked enough about an NFL team was being run. run the entire time by somebody who could not manage an addiction. And I say that not at all as a disparagement. I really don't. When I say drug addict, I'm just stating a matter of facts that the family would tell you about Jim Ursay. I just can't imagine. This wasn't, I will not identify this as functional drug addiction. Like, he had a problem that ended up in all manner
Starting point is 00:07:10 of headlines, and I just can't imagine how much they kept out of the headline. I don't think there's anything special about the Indianapolis Colt situation. I look at what's going on with X and Tesla. You can be effective in making money and securing government contracts and have a noticeable problem. And I would say maybe it's not always noticeable. When you look at addiction numbers with the very top line wealthy, it probably stands to reason that there are other owners dealing with similar problems, not just in their family, but they themselves, that have been able to keep it private and no one ever has any suspicion because we're none the wiser because the train keeps moving along.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I would be really curious, though, okay? And let me make it just slightly more personal because I have told you before that the nightmare of my brother's last few years had some stuff in it that I simply didn't recognize, okay? So lest you think I'm just raining down judgment on the dead, I'm telling you that I had the emotional reaction to that headline of like, ooh, don't love. that for the family, having all that in public, because I remember standing in like two o'clock in the morning, the police all around me and being like, I hope this doesn't end up in public because I'm like, that would be terrible. And I just was wondering, I legitimately was asking
Starting point is 00:08:26 the question of the audience, because I don't think it's thought about what do you imagine the practical difficulties were of having somebody in charge of your organization at the very top of power who had a problem that he could not control that ended up in all manner of family pain and recklessness. I can't imagine like Peyton Manning was covering up a lot of stuff there, but Bill Pollyan must have been covering, I'm not saying covering up crimes. I'm saying covering up problems because it must, it seems to me practically very hard to have that being doing the decision making when it can't be trusted to not be erratic. I don't feel like I have enough information on what the dynamic was in terms of decision making. Yes, he's at the very
Starting point is 00:09:07 top of the chain, but he also empowered other people to make decisions too, and I don't know what they ran into. It was very clear from erratic behavior and what's been reported out there. This was not easy to deal with, certainly for his family. I'm sure some of that bled over professionally. The Indianapolis Colts organization seemed to have navigated it pretty well from everything that I can tell. Look, every football game is a grind. And if you're like Dan and the crew, you know there's no such thing as one size fits all. Your sleep should be just as custom as coach's game plan. That's where sleep number comes in. You get to call your own plays. Softer, firmer, cooler, warmer, your side, your comfort, change it whenever you want.

Starting point is 00:12:48 All right, let me segue into something else here that has to do with how things are kept public and private when you are wildly famous, okay? Let's make this about Michael Jordan and a story that's not being covered very much presently. And I figure that all things that got you real Michael Jordan honesty, I figured that that would be big news in this day and age, but evidently not if it's in NASCAR. Like, you think the last dance showed you Michael Jordan's real personality? NASCAR lawsuit, you might see a little more of Michael Jordan's personality. I can make the argument that what Mike Ryan is about to read here has more real and honest Michael Jordan than we've seen just about anywhere outside of his Hall of Fame speech when he just sat over the microphone. and spit at everyone in the crowd that he wasn't that happy and he'd annihilate them all over again if he could. If we were to guess some of the most powerful people in sports, people would
Starting point is 00:13:41 certainly guess Michael Jordan before the Franz family that runs NASCAR. However, Michael Jordan has repeatedly run into L after L, after L, after L, after L in the courts challenging the France family NASCAR and their charter system. For the uninitiated charters and NASCAR essentially franchise fees. You have a big buy-in at the start of the season to allow yourself to basically bypass qualification and be guaranteed slots in every race. They don't hand them out to everybody. There are plenty of race teams that still have to earn their keep and earn these charters. Mike, if I can just stop you for a second, Tony, can you get the gearhead, please, because we never talk this much NASCAR without having, you know, properly adorned accompaniments
Starting point is 00:14:27 because we're a big, you know, network and all that. The argument that, uh, front row motorsports and 2311, the racing team co-owned by Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin and some other investors would argue is this is really unfair. The revenue split is not justified, and now NASCAR would say out of the other side of their mouth, we have a 50-50 revenue split for the available revenue. While that is true, the bulk of the revenue that NASCAR gets goes to the tracks. And NASCAR owns many of the tracks, especially the big moneymakers. and Penske owns a massive track so you're never going to get them to cross one of the picket lines and that was the trouble that Michael Jordan of all people ran into he could not get buy-in from Hendrick motorsports Joe Gibbs racing Penske because the current dynamic with the france family
Starting point is 00:15:19 works for those legacy motor clubs you're having trouble with the hat you're having trouble with the helmet just the headphones underneath can you read can you read some of the stuff that is being alleged in lawsuits? So private text messages came out. And you have to keep in mind here, Denny Hamlin is in an awkward situation. He co-owns 2311, but he races for Joe Gibbs racing. And Michael Jordan is really upset that Joe Gibbs decided to not join him in this fight because the only shot that they have against the France family that runs NASCAR is all the teams holding the line. And that line quickly got broken. So Jordan, this is a private tech. message. Gibbs signed
Starting point is 00:16:00 with NASCAR in their charter agreement. Teams are going to regret not supporting us. And then he likened the losses that he had in this lawsuit and with NASCAR to casino level losses. So Michael Jordan is here playing a
Starting point is 00:16:19 game now and you have competitor Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin in the very awkward situation, who's been pretty public about his dislike for NASCAR, is employed by the guy that he co-owns his business with it but like he he's employed by joe gibbs racing and his co-owner is calling him a okay but there's better the you skipped over michael jordan's text saying i've lost that in a casino no i didn't see morton also no i'm saying
Starting point is 00:16:49 give that no i know you said it but i want the context for it when we're talking about the amount of money because yes he said that but i don't think people know the amount of money that you're talking about when he says I've lost that in a casino. I've lost that on the financial risk of hiring a driver. I've lost that in a casino. Let's do it. Also adding, this is just a hobby. I can only play so much golf. And the internal text that leaked from NASCAR liken it to let's get back to the old days, good old redneck racing. This is an ugly, ugly fight. And the France family is very well politically connected. They make some of the largest political contributions there is. So Michael Jordan is actually running up against real power.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Michael Jordan, famously not political, made a big deal of the one political type of donation that he made. He's running into people that have the stroke politically, and he is catching L after L. And NASCAR loved having Michael Jordan in the family, brought extra eyes, didn't think that they would run into somebody with bleep you money and a bleep you attitude, and it still hasn't mattered because NASCAR keeps winning. I wish, though, that we got some honest look, some honest look. Wright Thompson has written some stories, but at Michael Jordan, how he feels about the fact that once he got to power, like real power, like Tom Brady has now and stuff, that all he did was lose. Like, he won money. Like, however it is, you do the measurements, I don't think he's doing the measurements the same way we're doing the measurements. Like, he wants to win money, but he just is addicted to winning.
Starting point is 00:18:24 We were talking about before the idea of the... gambling, competitiveness, Michael Jordan, however it is that he's trying to fill, whatever it is that it was being Michael Jordan, would be fighting with others over money. But always losing? Like, because since he left the power of having the power on the court, I told you, he had to pack up his boxes and was an employee at the end. Abe Poland, one of the worst basketball owners in the league. Get the bleep out of here. I profited off of your last tour. Get out of here. Has taken nothing but losses from owners since in every way. Has No meaningful ownership win as Tom Brady now gets into the game to fight on. No, I'd like to compete up here too with Peyton Manning on what ownership looks like. He crossed the threshold of having Bleep You money that he can lose money, not really feel it ever. And so he's here for the fight. And it's actually pretty funny because Michael Jordan doesn't really want to show us a lot of his personality. The competitor and the joy in competing comes out in NASCAR.
Starting point is 00:19:26 It doesn't come out in any of his other interviews since he played. Even when he played, he wasn't this emotional. When Bubba Wallace won at the Brickyard, Michael Jordan was elated because there was a run where Denny won, where Bubba won, where they were winning after all these things became public in this lawsuit, and he's going to keep trying. They're actively competing in this season, and it'd be great. They have two playoff drivers in Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace. And if Denny Hamlin wins, that's also a big bleep you to the system. They're doing this as a bleep you, not even to make money because they understand they're not going to win money.
Starting point is 00:20:00 They're doing this to compete and go up against the power. And it's pretty cool for Michael Jordan at this stage in his life to be an underdog. Those private texts are the most I've heard from Michael Jordan in a decade. Right? Like he said Fers and the P word. I'm like, oh, there's Michael Jordan. Until this year. What the hell is he going to say on NBA?
Starting point is 00:20:17 I like the idea of him like throwing down his phone after he texts that. And his wife from Kendall looks him like, what's wrong? Sweden, he's like, ah, NASCAR. And then they go out on the yacht and they just jump back into the ocean and live their luxurious lives again. And forget about it five minutes later. He's right about that. She is from Kendall.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I know that he's probably right about most of that. But I remember thinking to myself, as I've told you guys, that it, when you've been a symbol for youth and vitality, it must be hard to just age, right? Like, as he has been, just whatever he feels like at 60, when he was the same. symbol on earth for youth and vitality. When you're always a winner, always a winner and you're addicted to competition.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I wonder if jumping off of that yacht into the ocean, Michael Jordan still feels like a winner when he loses in every boardroom. Like I understand I think he's fine. I think he's doing just fine. He turns around and looks his wife, goes to his own private golf course where drones deliver your food
Starting point is 00:21:18 and he's like, yeah, I'm good. It may be ridiculous to say, and I would love ask him, but given that he's been... I don't think we're going to get the chance. He's so separated from the back, the two, three-peeds, right? He's run into real adversity here in NASCAR. I think he might admit, given his passion for the sport, which it seems from the interviews
Starting point is 00:21:44 he's given, he likes NASCAR more than he likes basketball. If he wins this Cup championship this year, I think he may say this is the most reward. achievement I've ever had in sports. That's insane. Because a France family is trying Michael Jordan in ways that he hasn't been tried. And again, he's been chasing that since the 90s. He hasn't been winning.
Starting point is 00:22:11 In fact, everything he's done outside of the shoe business, but in sports has largely been viewed as an embarrassment. The comeback with the Wizards, he missed the playoffs. The ownership was Charlotte. Disastrous didn't make nearly enough money when you see these valuations. I wonder how much he doubts himself somewhere inside of all of this because it's kind of why I was asking you what I was asking you the day about Andrew Luck because people think that some people just have it figured out because they got money
Starting point is 00:22:35 in power and then all of a sudden they're walking into boardrooms all over the place and oh my God I'm getting my ass kicked everywhere. I'd be curious for an honest answer on where do you have doubt over the last 20 years on like I don't really belong here. I've got a bit of imposter syndrome. I would love for our guestbookers to try to have a go at Denny Hamlin. Now, there's certain things that he can say because this is presently tied up in litigation, but Denny doesn't really pull punches. He has his own podcast. He's supremely outspoken, and he has to be political in navigating. He's part of the old guard with Joe Gibbs Racing, racing for another team, but understands the underdog nature of trying to be one of the other teams. There's talk that they would take on private equity and try to secure other racetracks to come up with a circuit that competes with NASCAR.
Starting point is 00:23:18 NASCAR is a big-time television property. Huge. Dwarfs the size of the contract that Formula One just got with Netflix or Apple, I'm sorry. They're really big and they are really politically plugged in. This would be a massive upset. And again, just fascinating to see Michael Jordan at this stage in his career go up against so much adversity, be at the bottom of a mountain, try to win an underdog battle. I am ashamed of myself for going this far into the show without mentioning that Kyle Schwabber hit four home runs last night. I feel like we should just stop whatever it is that we're doing whenever that happens and just sort of genuflect as a show. You know, Square guy hits four home runs in a night. We should treat it with more respect than talking about this stuff before we get to that.
Starting point is 00:24:06 But that's enough about that because I've got to get to the boldest take here. And there's a lot of a lot of show we're going to stuff here into the last 13. minutes of what we're doing here. So let's go to boldest take first here. Are these calls getting any better because it has not been consistent? I'm not feeling good. Yeah, they're good. They are 9% good. They're 9% good. I think it's 24% good. 91% bad. The boldest take is presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country. I've been a fan for a long time, but Dan, my hot take is you were so far out of line what you did at Greg Cody stealing his laptop and pushing the man that if he went full,
Starting point is 00:24:45 severed on you, I would have been just fine. Jim Rome learned. You need some smoke sometimes, Dan. That was too far. They're clearly purple. So why do we call them red onion? Hey, this is Chris in the panhandle on a tin can with string. Tinge in the pool is the perfect crime. Wimbenyama and digwoodala. Wembenyama and digwoodala. Wembenyama and digwoodala. What's the worst part of the last. I'm Dan, this wasn't very funny. Hey, this is Mark on a sat phone. David Sampson looks like the kid you had to have a play date with after his mother called your mother.
Starting point is 00:25:32 That was a good impression to you, Dan. 96% bad on that particular batch, and I'm giving you generosity with the 4% good. The Cody Draft last night, the much talked about, much threatened Cody draft. I cannot tell you that we will have a funnier moment this month than Greg Cody becoming enraged with us because we were going to leak that his rankings of the dolphins this season were 14 instead of 17. The amount of content that we got out of his rage, the fact that, Your father, a man of words, a man who's made his living on words, cannot express to you the indignance and seriousness of the most serious things in his life without saying it's going to be his life, it's going to be his granddaughter's life, and it's going to be he's going to take away the draft that the greatest punishment that he can rain down upon you as you're looking at him and saying, this threat doesn't mean it. anything like i can go and i i can do the draft at someone else's house your your threat oh i got to go
Starting point is 00:26:50 to twin peaks now chris like he was yelling at you as if he thought it was the greatest of threats that he could hit you with and it was an empty it only he cares about it that way you don't care about it that way right there were four other houses we could have had it out could have gone to a bar it was not the threat he thought it was but last night we had the draft the running joke last night was my dad not knowing what position anyone plays in a sport that he covers. Like a guy will be drafted. David and Joku, a tight end. He'll be like, he's looking to cross off his list and he has the position.
Starting point is 00:27:24 So he's always like, what position is he? He won't like that from you. He's an expert and he won't like that you just did that. That was an undercut of the highest order. I mean, it was a running joke. It's like, he's asked, Drake May. You're saying, you're beginning the football season by accusing your dad of faking knowledge about football. It's not that he's even faking.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I think he knows what position a lot of these guys play, but he just gets into this mode of, I'm not thinking about the NFL, I'm looking at a list of names, and I need to know where to look. His brain turns off from what I actually know about football, and it just goes to, I don't see him where, what position and joke?
Starting point is 00:27:58 He gets panicked, and it's like, David and Joku, think for a second. You know who this guy is. He's a tight end, dad. I would classify him as weapon. My mind is also geared towards the NFL, Chris, especially that week four matchup between the, Packers and the Cowboys. We talked a lot about what this means for the Cowboys. We haven't talked
Starting point is 00:28:15 at all about what this means for the Packers, and I'm sitting pretty on a ticket that had the Packers as NFC champions, and I'm pretty happy about that. You may want tickets to that Week 4 showdown between Green Bay and Dallas. Why don't you take the guesswork out of buying NFL tickets with Game Time? Download the GameTime app, create an account, and use a code, Dan. For $20 off, your first purchase. Terms apply, swipe, tap, ticket, go. a little detail from this Micah Parsons extension with the Packers 136 guaranteed
Starting point is 00:28:46 that was kind of not that surprising 120 at signing is he literally just going to get a wire for $120 million Oh, Dan as I work They just wire you the money They'll take the taxes out of it I don't think that guaranteed money
Starting point is 00:29:02 gets there as Gary I think it runs through a system of they start tracking it immediately on that stuff That's the most I've ever seen in terms of, like, right at the front. That's crazy. Yeah, I don't think I've, let me run a Google. I don't think I've seen that much money as a signing. So do they like, is it like an HOA for the Packer since they're like owned by everybody?
Starting point is 00:29:25 So like, you know, like we're going to read, you know, finish the parking lot. Now we're going to need, you know, 40 grand from everyone's like, oh, guys, Michael Parsons, $120 million. We're going to need a, we're going to need about $7 million. from each of you now. I think it's cute being team owner. Time to cash in. I don't know how any of that works, but I really would like an understanding
Starting point is 00:29:47 of how it's any different for the Packers. Like Game one, there's a collection basket going around. Like, Lambo, feel like, oh, it's made it up. Do you think most people know? Do you think most people listening to this know that the Packers are owned by the surrounding community? Like, do you think the majority of people listening to this know this?
Starting point is 00:30:03 Like, my dad is a quote-unquote owner of a horse and he yearly has to send it. in like 500 bucks to throw for medical stuff. No, it's not that. I know it's not that with the Packers, but I'd actually be curious. No, I, no, it might not be. We should get the Packers owner on an aspect. It's literally one of like 80,000 people we could talk to.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You know a Packers owner? I know a Packers owner. Can you get them on in six minutes? Poner. Let me ask Lewis. There's like thousands of Packers owners. Vlad Guerrero Jr. got a $325 million signing bonus. Wow! So does he play for free?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah, how does that work? Well, I don't know. Is this signing bonus is extra, right? Hmm. Is this deferred? No, what do you mean the signing bonus extra? No, you sign, you get that money. You get that, again, though, I believe that goes through a transaction state where the government does take it before, wherever it is.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Like, whatever you think, that signing bonus isn't going to end up being $120 million that's not taxable. Prior to this, the biggest record signing bonus in NFL history was a Packers' teammate of Michael Parsons. Jordan Love got $75 million. There's a signing bonus, it's a bonus. It's not for work that you've completed, right? So like, let's say, you know, you go to like the BVI to sign your signing bonus. What's to say if it just all of a sudden ends up, you know, at a peel box or whatever, you know? Cayman's.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah. Billy, how do you imagine this would all work since you're hypothesizing that we can move 120 mil quietly? I'm asking questions. If people move 120 mil like this all the time. Barlins used to be registered at a P.O. Box, Andy Slater, Sleader scooped us on that. Don't look at the $1.1 billion in wire transfers, please. Mike Ryan mentioned the idea of analyzing this from the Packers side of this. But, Chris, was there anything else from your father's draft last night worth.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Recapping, I'm sure our audience wants any information that is worth having on the Lobos and the Greg Cody family extravaganza that he cares so much about that he puts it in the same place that he puts his life, your daughter's life, and places. You don't have to keep mentioning that. I mean, but that's the priority is in your dad's life. So what is, what came from last night that was worth talking about? I would say, I'm getting told in my ear that we can have a Green Bay owner on the phone in two minutes if we want. But I would say outside of his lack of knowledge being a running joke, just the way he
Starting point is 00:32:38 announces every pick. The Lobos would welcome to the team. Like, you know, most people just say a name. Like Terry McLaurin, but my dad is, the Lobos, welcome to the family. I heard behind you here, Billy, okay. Now Billy, you're, Billy, you just did,
Starting point is 00:32:55 I heard you say, do we want that? Now that we got the Packers owner on the line, and you're the one who said, let's get a packer's owner on the line. Like, you're the one who said... He wants it? I provided, Dan.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I know, but this is this. It's the Billy conundrum. Earlier this week, he said he didn't want to be married to takes. Yeah. Doesn't do consequences. He doesn't do consequences, but he says, I'm the friend who just says shit when he told Tony get a Packers owner. You just say, oh, we should get a Packers owner on.
Starting point is 00:33:26 And then it goes off, you know, but I told you, I always got a guy. You always say, oh, you don't have a guy. I got a guy. What do you want? You want that? you hear so are we going to talk to lewis's friend that is the moving that you just almost literally moved the goalpost like you're what you're saying your words have stopped meaning anything when you go from saying tony get a packer's owner we get him in two minutes and
Starting point is 00:33:48 then the next thing i hear behind chris cody is do we even want that you're helping produce the show you produce those two minutes and then i get those two minutes tony produces the show and you're like i don't want it that way i'm just saying do we want It's, I mean, Lewis has confirmed in my ear. He's an actual owner. Okay, so great, bring him on the air. But for the record, I said, should we do this? I don't want, I don't want.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Well, you're the one pushing for this guy now. I don't want to talk to one of these. You want to talk to Pepper, whatever his name is. His name is Anthony. I want to know how it. Friends call him Pepe. I know, I want to know how it really works to own the Packers, but this person's not going to know. He's a sweetheart, I've been told.
Starting point is 00:34:27 He's not sending in a bunch of money. He's not, he's not going to have any answers to any good questions. Dan, he's got a plaque that says he's an owner. He's a quack? That's what he said? No, that's you. I said he's got a plaque. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:39 So which would you guys prefer here? I'm going to do Fridays throughout the football season. Which would you prefer here? You guys make the decision because I don't want to kill the vibe around here. Well, just an update, Cam Newton is indeed wearing a poncho. Oh. Were there half times in the draft yesterday? No, that's another thing.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Oh, I stopped that. Would you prefer two minutes of us breaking down this Michael Parsons trade from the Packers' perspective? We've really normalized how Cam Newton looks. It's ridiculous. Or would you prefer to put on Lewis's friend possibly Pippet to ask him to get a Packers owner? Us landing an owner. I mean, that is big. Okay. Day after the trade?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah. All right. Well, you guys go ahead. Anthony joins this show to break down the big trade. All right. I will be back. Fine. You guys. How do you feel about? Michael Parson. Go ahead. All right. Get him on.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Who is? Fine. Instead of breaking down the trade from the Packers' perspective. Michael Parson. You guys want to talk to one of the eight, there are more than 80,000 Packers owners. Not undercut it. I got him in a second. Dan, here you go. You ready? Oh, wow. I got a packer's owner. All right. All right. So find out how this.
Starting point is 00:35:58 All right. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan. Twero, what's up, buddy? Good to see you. Anthony Twero. He's a Packers owner right now. Very excited. Obviously, he's got the cheesehead going. He's got the 12 jersey, which is an interesting choice. But the point being, now you're the proud, I wouldn't say owner, but you have Micah Parsons on your team as the owner of the Packers.
Starting point is 00:36:22 How do you feel? Michael Parsons. Yeah, I'm excited, man. I mean, Super Bowl, right? Like, that's, we have to be up there with the Super Bowl face. I mean, we jumped to the top of the NFC North. The lines are no longer the ones that they're expecting to win the division. Now it's us.
Starting point is 00:36:40 So we're Super Bowlbound. I mean, come on. Anthony, I have a question. What was it like dealing with Jerry Jones to make this trade happen? It was, it was rough, guys. It was rough. If you heard what he told Michael Parsons telling him, hey, it's either a fifth year option or you leave, you're done.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I mean, it was very, it was very difficult. difficult dealing with a guy like Jerry Jones. Let me tell you. Toro, get the plaque that you have there that says you're a Packer's owner. Where is it? That's actually at my shop, at my business. I don't have any proof. I just got a guy in a Packer's jersey with cheese on his head.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I don't have a second job. I don't have a proof that this guy's an owner. Come on, man. Shareholders since 2019. What does that mean? I made this happen. What does it cost you per year? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:37:26 So it literally means that I can just say I'm a shareholder. That's all it says. So that's all I can do with it. Do you have to pitch you in money for the $120 million signing bonus? So I pitched in $385. See? Wow. Dan?
Starting point is 00:37:43 It's a type. Exactly. That's what it was. So how does that work? What is that? What is that money? That was basically, so to buy in, to get one share, it was like $3.30 plus tax and fees or whatever. And then we get no dividends.
Starting point is 00:37:57 We get nothing. I get to be a part of the shareholders meeting, though. every year that's pretty cool big call right it's a very big call you ever speak up you ever speak up in there uh i i was the one that told brian hey brian let's let's go get this guy man congratulations this is going to make news congratulations we're very happy for you it's such power it's so great to have the fans have this power where they can just say hey get me micha parsons and then they got him like a fan he told brian minority owner your thoughts on Jim Mersey. We've got best musical performance here to put at the end of this segment. It's
Starting point is 00:38:36 the most anticipated suey category we do every year. And you were clapping back there, Chris. Clapping? It's that good a category? Because it's over. The sueyes are over. Oh, that's why you are clapping. I actually, the sueyes make me feel good about what we do around here. Sometimes you can get lost in the grind. And it makes me feel like we did some good work this year. It makes it feel like we have a good show. Every year, I'm always fascinated to learn what the strongest category is because it shifts. Now, it may very well be the one that you're about to play. I don't know what it says about us that I think it's clearly the best mistake category that we played. Worst mistake was. That was, that was, that was, it's a big year for mistakes. Did you guys have a
Starting point is 00:39:14 winner? Did you guys come away with a consensus winner on big mistake? Because we didn't talk very much. We keep saying the categories are loaded. But anytime I asked a question of, hey, what was the best in that category? I never all week got an answer from anybody that said, this one thing. thing was the best thing in that category. So what do you nominate on worst mistake? I have to re-listen to it. You made zero sense when speaking to Ron McGill one time. That was funny. Anytime Christmas speaks is funny. I like to mean trying to say not my first rodeo. That one was strong. Bull by the horns or whatever he said. Yeah, well, yeah, he got caught up in the air at the end of that. Greg talking over Diana. Yeah, that was strong.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Dan's Beastie Boys. Larsa Pisson. Funny. Yeah, I was wincing a lot during that one. John Skipper saying any NBA star could walk in and he'd recognize them and then mispronouncing all three of their names. I got Wimba Yarnia. We're going to get. We're going to get. Fubu is great. That was a good one. That was a good one.
Starting point is 00:40:16 So we got the owner of the Packers, huh? That was a great idea, Billy. Good consequence. What I get is right, huh? I don't feel like I have any more answers to my questions. It's really easy. Shareholder, you tell Brian, hey, get Micah Parsons. He gets them.
Starting point is 00:40:29 You're happy. Yeah, I guess everybody would be happy. You want to make it simple? You want to make it difficult, Dan. What do you want? We could have broken down that trade very easily that way. Hey, there's a player. Every team would love to have him and every team would lose to lose him. They'd hate to lose him. Wow, another nominee for next year. Write it down.
