Yeah. I think we're all excited for the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight. Look, if you're getting Brian to turn on a sporting event, you know it's a big deal. You know it's a big deal. I just, I think people are saying, well, Mike Tyson's old, Mike Tyson's old. If you see the look at his eyes when he looked at Jake Paul after he slapped him, he's going to hurt you. I would, if I was Jake Paul, I would have probably wet my pants a little and when I, can we stop this because this man's going to hurt me. Let me just tell you, people, if you don't know Brian by now, he doesn't get excited about a lot. No, I don't. The fact that Brian is so dialed into this, it warms my heart. It really feels like we're in the holiday spirit around here. It just, it just feels good. I don't know. I just feel, I have a little pep in my step today. It's going to be fun. Look, I'm excited and I, I, I, yeah, it may be a dog and pony show and I might be wrong, but every time I see Mike Tyson square off with him, Mike Tyson, he's a predator and that's what he looks like and it's like, he's a problem. He's going to hurt you, dude. And it's Jake Paul so it's sufferville. It's just like, yeah, you're going to get taught a lesson here really, really hard by a grownup boy. We'll talk to, uh, Lloyd Jackson coming up a little later. Um, Lloyd because Lloyd, if there is anybody in this building that day is dialed into boxing, it is Lloyd. Absolutely. So I'm excited to talk to him and get his perspective. I do. I think it's a dog and pony show, but I don't care. I'm going to be tuned in and I want to see Jake Paul leaving the ring in a pine box. Absolutely. I want him flat. Like I want to see him slap the beard off his head. It is my, it is my Cirque De Soleil theory. It's the Cirque De Soleil theory. I went, my wife and I went and saw Cirque De Soleil years ago in Vegas and I fell asleep. It was incredibly boring, but I went because I know that they can do all the stunts and tricks. I'm there to see them fall off the spinning thing just in the event that they do. I want to be there for that. This is, this is, this is my Cirque De Soleil theory with this fight. It's definitely going to watch with you. Um, she'll be, I mean, she'll, I don't know, she doesn't care if she's in the room. She'll watch. I think this is the guy thing. She doesn't care. So I, at all, I'm excited. And we'll talk about it a little later on. So excited. He's going to get the taste knocked out of his mouth. It's going to be so funny. Talk dirty to me, Brian. Brian is excited. I love it. I love it. Finally got me interested in a sport. We did it. We did it. It's only a boxer who's 25 years past. Yeah. Yeah. Just a 60 year old geriatric boxer. Is old guy. I see old guys beat young guys. That's what I want to see. Brian is an anti agent. Yeah. Exactly. What if he comes out with a walker or something? Wouldn't that be great? Just to throw Jake just to throw Jake off. I have a boo boo and I needed help getting into the ring. It'd be good. Yeah. Did you see that Jake Paul has a diamond ear cover so that Mike can't bite his ear? He's been showing that off around. Yes. It's a diamond encrusted cover for the top of his ear. I'm hoping that Mike also feeds that to him at some point in the evening. Yeah. Tyson takes off his gloves and shoves it down his mouth and then punches him a few more. I love it. Yeah, I'd love it. Be great. Whatever you're Brian, whatever you want, I want to happen. I'm excited. I'm excited for you. Um, on a, on a, on a more serious note, the moon once had volcanoes. This is a wild story. Uh, China has a lunar module that landed on the far side of the moon. The lunar soil analysis confirms that the moon surface once had erupting volcanoes. The samples suggest a billion years of volcanic activity, roughly three to four billion years ago. Now, what, what scientists say is that we know very little about the far side of the moon. But this Chinese Chang's six module landed on the far side of the moon in June and is the first spacecraft ever to collect samples from that part of the moon, which is really interesting. And, uh, and I'm, I'm going to be interested to see what other information they're able to glean from, from some of that information. Um, meanwhile, General Motors laying off a thousand white collar employees, the, uh, automaker saying today in a statement, we need to optimize for speed and excellence. This includes operating with efficiency, ensuring we have the right team structure and focusing on our top priorities. And look, GM isn't, they're, they're not, uh, they're not unlike any other automaker in this time where there is there that they are looking to streamline, they are looking to become as, as they say, more efficient. Um, but it, it feels like the industry is very much in flux because now with a, with a Trump administration incoming, what does that do to some of the standards that have been put into place? What does that do to the future of electrified vehicles here in the United States, built by US manufacturers? Um, it's a question that we have to watch very closely. But I think if you, if you, if you just, if you want to take a very surface level approach, you look at where the messaging came from for Donald Trump from this campaign and then you look at the response by union workers and maybe they are not totally in favor of where the, the auto industries and the leaders of these industries want to take the companies in terms of more electrified vehicles. Um, Donald Trump, uh, spoke at the AFPI galley in Mar-a-Lago and none other than Sylvester Stallone shared a couple of comments on Donald Trump. And here's what, uh, he said in part in a very short speech, when George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. Because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington. Congratulations. Uh, he also called Donald Trump a mythical character adding nobody in the world would have pulled off what he pulled off. So you've got, uh, Sly Stallone, very excited about a Donald Trump presidency, uh, second Donald Trump presidency. Uh, meanwhile, Stephen King says he's leaving X for everybody that cared, which I mean, to me is about zero. Nobody. Uh, but Stephen King says he's leaving X for good, saying I'm leaving Twitter, tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Uh, this isn't the first time, by the way, that Stephen King is threatened to leave X. He said that, uh, he'd be gone like Enron if Twitter started charging $20 a month for a blue checkmark for him. Uh, I guess the eight dollars a month didn't quite meet that threshold. But if they were at the end of charge, 20, that was going to be too much. He's pretty prolific on Twitter too. So he's on there all the time. Well, there's a lot of, there's a lot of publicity people that like he's mentioned movies that suddenly take off, you know, online, if he's watched it. I mean, he has got a lot of credibility and I'm hearing a lot of people are now moving to this. What's it? Blue sky. I don't think about blue sky. That's apparently a new. It's the Democrat version of X. Apparently. Oh, great. Yeah. Cause that's, cause that's what we need. If there is anything we learned from this election, it's that we all need to go our separate ways for good. Well, and I haven't read the story. So don't, I don't know what all this by the way, by the way has changed their terms of service. And that's upsetting people like AI is going to be involved or something. Yeah, it's the Gronk. Who cares? I will, I'll tell you this. If somebody like Elon Musk looked at the landscape of social media and thought it would be easier to just go ahead and buy a platform as opposed to start a new one and start from the ground up, it's probably what he would have done. It's probably not a great idea to restart a social media platform. Well, truth social hasn't gone so well. I mean, look, I mean, I don't know how well it's gone. Negative or positive about it, but nobody, you don't hear people say even any of the new sources on true social media unless Trump says, sure, nobody makes sense. So, so this will be the same thing. It's like, it's not going to work. No, I try and put whatever people could do whatever they want. We live in a great country where you can do whatever you want. Absolutely. I just feel that instead of, instead of, you know, separating like a young couple at a middle school dance, we probably should be coming together to talk about our differences. Probably should be coming together to listen to each other a little more. We probably should be coming together to figure out where everybody stands and see if we can learn from each other. We do probably need a moderator, though. All right, Chris, that's enough. We're all adults. Can we just be adults here? Can we just be adults online? You know that? No, no, too many keyboard heroes out there. The Pentagon reveals hundreds of UFO sightings, according to a latest report. These new reports of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena are now in the hundreds. The review includes hundreds of cases of misidentified balloons, birds, satellites. As some say that there is just no way to explain these things. There have been near misses between commercial airliners and mysterious objects off the coast of New York. The report has no indication suggesting that an extraterrestrial origin may be at play here, but they have not been able to identify what these objects are. This comes after house lawmakers called for greater government transparency during a hearing on unidentified phenomena. Let me ask you this. Do you think the public is ready to hear about all of this stuff? We're not even on the same page of who we're voting for, how the which country needs to go. Aliens will cause it will cause the civil war, but with transparency, I love transparency. I want everything open. I want everything through a looking glass. Nothing should be in the dark. Nothing should be hidden. I'm all for transparency, but I think if the government has information that there is some sort of alien life force and there's some sort of life and there's some sort of, you know, civilization out there that is sending in that is sending these machines to our atmosphere, I don't know the people already for that. No, I don't think they are. I'm not sure people are ready for. No, I agree with you, but it's an interesting it's all it's fun to think about. All right. So you got Matt Gates, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegzith, what what are the real realistic outlook that they get confirmed? Because now we're starting to hear some pushback from Republican senators talk about an ex on jail afternoon. So much has been made about some of Donald Trump's appointments and whether that's somebody like Matt Gates to attorney general, somebody like Pete Hegzith to be the secretary of defense or even somebody like Tulsi Gabbard. And it there does seem to be a little bit of pushback in the Senate, even amongst Republican senators. What are the odds that that Donald Trump's appointments actually make it through the process and they will be leading these departments? Let's get a an in-depth look with Mariana Alfaro, with the breaking news political reporter with the Washington Post. It's great to have you. Hi, thanks for having me. What are you hearing on the Hill or what are you hearing amongst those in the political background about some of these appointments and their odds of actually getting put through? Yeah, I mean, there's some of them that apparently will have like, you know, an easy cruising through the Senate of thinking, you know, Senator Rubio for state. I think that's one that a lot of Democrats and Republicans can agree on will go smoothly. There's been some chatter about Tulsi Gabbard, potentially also having a smooth sailing, you know, the size on her. And the legions of her family's connections to Russia, I think that that might be a bit of a hiccup for her, but from what I've heard from, so there's some both parties they seem that that might be like a hearing that is not just going to be as difficult as Matt Gates, who currently is in the center of the storm. I would say there's a lot of senators they spoke into yesterday, Republican senators just say that, you know, he deserves his time in front of the Senate, that he deserves his spare hearings and that, you know, they are willing, I mean, for example, Josh Hawley said that he is on a place where he thinks he's going to support all of Trump's nominee. So for example, Josh Hawley will turn out for him, but there's others like John Cornyn, a top Republican from Texas, he said that he really wants to see the report that the House Ethics Committee compiled on on Gates, you know, that hasn't been released yet about investigations into whether he, you know, sexually assaulted a minor. And so I think that that's a big one that it's going to be, you know, on the top of everyone's mind. I do think that, you know, despite, you know, Republican Republican saying they want to see it, there's other folks in there like Lindsey Graham says that he doesn't need to see the report that they rely on, you know, what's going to happen during the Senate confirmation hearings that they have to go through all these background reports and all these background checks. And maybe that will turn out other things that might change their minds. But for now, it seems like he's going to face a serious hearing. But again, there seems to be, you know, there's a 53 majority in the Senate. It seems like they could lose a few here and there, but it seems like that Gates could, you know, there is a chance that he can make it through. Again, it depends on the next information that comes out in the next few weeks. But then I think there's other things coming out over. I think it was Defense Pete Hetsett. There's a report on the Washington Post today that he was investigated for alleged sexual assault. Despite that, there's some Republican senators who still think that he deserves, you know, to be quoted in the hearing. And I think that it was reported himself who said he would support him. So they can afford to lose maybe three votes. But for example, someone like Pete Hetsett, I think that they would also face good odds in the Senate. How does how do the some of these appointments impact the balance of power in places like the Senate, for example, Marco Rubio, which of course would be a stalwart Republican vote. But but if he's going to be in the cabinet, it's it's going to put things in a precarious position, at least for a little while. So how did those appointments, when you're taking away from these chambers, how does that impact the the the process? Yes. I mean, Marco Rubio would be replaced by someone that the Senate that the Florida governor elect. So that would be a temporary appointment. And you know, we're talking about Ron DeSantis, who's a, you know, central Republican, you would probably name a fellow central Republican for the seat. Again, because of the majority, they hold and also remember that JD Van would be the type of voting that comes for that. So I think the Republicans have pretty good hold of the Senate, no matter what. But then if you look at the House, it gets a little more precarious there, because they are losing several members to the administration. And I think that it first of all that gates were signed immediately on Wednesday. So already, you know, we heard Speaker Johnson say that he was already calling DeSantis to make sure that they could kick start a special election, because if it happens eight weeks before, when, you know, within the eight weeks, but they have an eight-week period to replace gates. And so their special election has needs to happen. And if it happens now, they can get someone seated by January 3, which is when the new Congress is immigrated. So it's going to be really quick. So for example, in the case of gates, and I think in the case of Walt, who is also Florida Republican, who Trump also picked for his cabinet, they could get those two seats back fairly quickly, I think with Stefonic, who's a New York Republican, and she's been named a UN ambassador. Again, there's a different map there because it's New York. And so it would depend on the Democrat governor there. Happy Hokel. Happy to replace that seat. So it is a matter of making, you know, the Republicans need to be very careful with the majority. I know that Johnson has asked the president to stop picking from his cabinet, but you know, the president will do whatever he wants to do. But I think Republicans still are already aware that they were going to be playing with a very, very, very minor majority this time around and more precarious than the last time. And I think, you know, from what I've been hearing about Republicans in the house this week is that they're really trying to achieve more unity than they did last time. And I think Johnson has proven to be a leader that more members across the board trust in, or they like kind of feel like they can work with him more. Donald Trump has talked about a number of different ways potentially to get these confirmations through. Is there any indication how that process is going to work yet? Yeah. So he's been talking about recent appointments, which is something that I think we haven't really talked about since like Obama era. I mean, Trump also brought it up in the 2020 when he was, you know, trying to get his cabinet back in 2016, but I think it was a big issue back in the Obama era where Obama was trying to get some nominees through that were being blocked by the Republican Senate. Back then the Supreme Court said that he might have over passed his like constitutional authority to do recess appointments. But what a recess appointment is basically is that when the Senate is on recess, the president can say I'm going to name these people to my to federal offices because the Senate is out. And there is a certain level of how that should be allowed. But when it comes to big cabinet positions, it is the Senate's role basically to like background check these folks and make sure that they are that the president isn't committing a mistake. And that is something that you know, Cornyn said to us yesterday and then hell he was like, we are job as the Senate committee is to make sure that these people don't cause problems for the president in the future. But if the president comes in and asks for a recess, it is possible that they could skip through the same. It's very interesting. Mariana Alfaro with Washington Post, thank you for your time. Appreciate it. We'll take a break. Morning. All right, eight hundred eight five nine zero nine five seven eight hundred eight five nine zero WJR. Today is America Recycles Day. And look, I think that it's fair to be good stewards of our environment whenever possible. And that includes just separate your papers from the rest of your garbage. You know, some people, they go the whole way. They've got compost, but the realities are, we are all very busy. And just like when you do your laundry, you separate the whites from the colors, just do the same with your garbage. If you've got plastic, put it aside. If you got paper, put it aside. It's very simple. And it really can go a long way. Tom Emric is the COO of shoe pan recycling and joins me this afternoon. Tom, it's, it's great to have you back on. Thank you. That's nice to be back. So I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, go ahead. No, I just I was listening to your to your lead in there. And I thought comes to mind you can never do wrong by doing the right thing when it comes to recycling. That's kind of what it what it boils down to. Yeah, no, and I think it's exactly it. And it doesn't take a lot. It doesn't take a lot of of effort or energy, but it really can go a long way. And when it comes to recycling, for example, plastics, it, it, I mean, they've been able to take old water bottles, old, whatever, turn them into clothes, turn them into shoes, turn them into whatever. And, and, and we just keep that type of system going. It goes a long way into helping our environment. And it goes a long way to, quite frankly, cutting down on the use of a lot of these things. Yeah, 100% recycling or the plastics industry has done a phenomenal job, increasing the recycling from over the years, the aluminum industry, which is where we're in both areas, but we're very heavily involved in aluminum. You're reducing greenhouse gases every with every container, every plastic bottle that gets recycled. So we have an exciting story to tell in our industry. And it's actually quite gratifying to see that there's a day that's being singled out to kind of call attention, draw attention to a very, very worthy effort that we can all do a better job at. So give me an idea of what happens when, when the recycling truck comes picks everything up. What's, what's the process and how does shoe pan get involved? So, well, there's, there's a, super does not get involved with when the recycling truck picks up curbside recycling per se, unless we're buying the material at the other end. So we're, when a recycling company, because that's, excuse me, recycling truck picks up your recycles at curbside, they're going to take it back to a Murph operation material recycling facility. They dump it, they separate the containers, and they'll bail the aluminum with aluminum and paper with paper and cardboard cardboard. Well, if there's glass of the program, they'll separate that out. And as a, as a industry, gotten very, very more sophisticated with for technology over the years to where we can make a pretty good good end product. And what we might do if it's aluminum cans or other little scrap, well, we might buy that material and then we set it to a mill for it to be melted and recycled. Our primary footprint in Michigan, where people would know us the most is through the deposit system, where we handle a large percentage of all deposit containers in the state of Michigan. Yeah, and getting those back in a timely manner. I know it's something that you guys have dealt with for a while. Oh, yeah, it's been, it's been an interesting couple of years and I, you know, if you're listening, I'd just seen billboards around the state that say take them back. Since the pandemic, we've had a pretty serious decline in the number of deposit containers that have been returned in Michigan. So we are working with the state with a relatively aggressive, probably too aggressive a term, but a pretty comprehensive ad campaign to kind of remind Michiganers that it's important to take your miles of cans back to your dears or your local retailer. And let's get those things picked up recycled and do the right thing by our environment. When it comes to the rules and regulations that are in place, whether it's at the federal or state level, how does that impact our recycling habits? Well, that's kind of a federal level. There really isn't any recycle. There's not much of a recycling legislation, but usually it ends up at the state level. And some states will mandate certain things can't go to the landfills and others do not. Michigan has very few regulations. The biggest piece of legislation to Michigan that the earmarked, if you will, for towards recycling really is our deposit law. Well, look, I think you put it best doing the good thing is never a bad idea. And I think that we all can take those little steps in making sure that we were keeping our environment, that we are being environmentalists when it comes to making sure that these things get to where they need to go in a proper way and and and used efficiently after that. Tom Emmerich with shoe pan, thank you so much. Really appreciate the time. Thank you. Appreciate it. You have a great day. You do the same. 800-859-0957-800-859-0WJR. I wasn't actually even totally going to bring this up. But I've got a caller on the line that Brian says I need to get to. It's Granny G in Southfield. Hello. Who is this? Hi. Hi, grandma Taylor. How are you? Okay. I had to repeat my name to name the job who it was. I didn't know it first, but my producer says you got to take this call. When you asked when I said why I was calling. And what did you tell him? I said I was calling the wish you had the birthday on the air. Well, that's very nice. Thank you. This is this is grandma Taylor. This is my one of my wife's grandmas. So a loyal listener. You're the one. Thank you. That's very nice. Thank you. Thank you. We'll see you soon. Thank you. All right. We'll talk to you later. Oh, that's very nice. You know, it's funny. So my birthday's tomorrow. And I'm not much of a birthday guy. I don't. My wife's a big. She loves birthdays. She does all the birthday stuff. And she, you know, she said, what do you want to do? I'm like, nothing. I'm going to be 36 with this nothing. But I will say what is fun is the birthday stuff for my kids. Like they're excited now for my birthday. And they're excited for the cake and the ice cream and all that stuff. But you ready for this story? So the kids asked me, what do I want for my birthday? I said, all I want for my birthday is for you to make me a birthday card. Draw a picture of us. Color it. Right. Happy birthday. Six and two, right? Just scribble some stuff on a piece of paper. But Jake says to me, he says, Dad, what do you want for your birthday? I said, just make me a card. He said, do you like Michigan? And I said, I do like Michigan. Yes, I do. He said, do you like to play checkers? I said, of course, sure, I love to play checkers. He said, would you like to play Michigan checkers? And I said, you know what, that would be a lot of fun. I should ask for that for my birthday. And he's like, yeah, you should. Yeah, you should ask for that for your birthday. And I was like, all right, I'll, I'll, I'd like a Michigan checker set. And he's like, okay, it's great. So all the stuff that I as a, you know, jaded middle age 30 man, don't care about. Now it's fun for them, which is fun for me. So that's cool. All right, we'll take a break. Come back for more here on Jay afternoon. All right, Tyson. And whatever his name is Jake Paul tonight. Hi, Ken Brown. Hello, how are you? You're putzing around? You want to come in? I just came in when I heard that they were talking boxing. Yeah, we're talking boxing. Lloyd Jackson from Jay morning with us. Lloyd, what's up, my friend? Hey, guys, how you doing? All right, before we get before we get this going, I got to play this audio. So Mike Tyson was interviewed by a child. Okay. This girl, she, she was what? Lloyd, what do you think she was? 1213? Well, maybe something like that. All right. So Brian, I had 13 before the other. By the way, she did a tremendous job. Okay. She did. But she's got Mike Tyson on the other mic. And Mike has no idea that he's talking to a little kid. Here's the question and the answer from Mike Tyson. Listen to this. Well, in your return to the ring for this fight, you are setting a monumental opportunity for kids my age to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for the first time. So after such a successful career, what type of legacy would you like to leave behind when it's all said and done? Well, I don't know. I don't believe in the word legacy. I think that's another word for ego. Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's just some word everybody grabbed on to someone said that word and they weren't grabbed on the word. So now it's used every five seconds. It means that's literally nothing to me. I'm just passing through. I'm going to die and it's going to be over. Who cares about a legacy after that? What a big ego. So I'm a die. I want people to think that I'm this. I'm great. I'm nowhere nothing. We're dead. We're dust. Absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing. Well, thank you so much for sharing. That is something that I have not heard before. Someone say that as an answer. Can you really imagine somebody say I want my legacy to be this way when I get dead? Why do you want to think? Do you think I really want to think about you? How what's the adapter? I think I want people to think about me when I'm gone. Who the **** cares about me when I'm gone? My kids, my little grandkids. And again, thank you so much for sharing that. She's like, I got to get out of this. Let me leave this guy alone. Hold on, man. Hold on. Get her name. That child is scarred for life. My man's been using his own supply. She was all the way to man. All right. I thought it was. She did a great job, though. Because I mean, she was wonderful. She did a great job. All right. Is this a dog and a pony show tonight, Lloyd? Yeah, it's a lot of that. You know, they're both going to make good money. But, you know, more than anything, you know, big Paul is not a true boxer. He's a good promoter. I give him that. He's a good promoter. He knows how to promote himself. But as far as a fighter is concerned, the only real boxer you've ever fought was Tommy Fury, who is Tyson Fury's brother. And he lost that fight in the decision. He didn't get knocked down or knocked out. It was a decision. But everybody else's fault has been MMA fighters and and people who don't. Basketball players and basketball player. Okay. So yeah, this is, you know, this is, this is going to be, I think Mike, you know, Mike's going to try to get him in the first round. Mike's going to try to take it off. But between one and three, I think they Paul goes to sleep. All right. So, so you've got two minute rounds, which is shorter than normal than a normal sanctioned boxing match. You've got 14 ounce gloves. So it's a glorified pillow fight. How do those things factor in to this fight? Well, you know, in a normal fight with two like normal boxers, yeah, you know, it factor them. But when you got a person like Mike Tyson who throws every bunch with bad intentions, you know, I don't care if he had those, you remember those gloves that you could blow up and put on your hand and just be it, you know, I don't, that wouldn't say Jake Paul tonight, you know, and the only way Jake Paul wins this fight is if he goes into the later round six, seven, eight, while it might get a little windy because Mike is 58 years old, he will get winded because he's just not used to going, even when he was in good shape back in the day, he didn't like going long. That's why most of his fights ended very quickly because he didn't train well enough to go into those later rounds. So I think that's the only way Jake Paul gets away with it if he goes to this. Yeah, I was telling Chris earlier, Lloyd, remember, we wouldn't saw Mike fight Galata. We were back in the day and we went to the palace and the palace and Galata quit. Remember, we were sitting there like, you just quit because he wasn't taking it anymore. And that didn't have nothing to do with speed. That was just strictly power, strictly power. And that's what Mike still has. It's just like the Rocky movie. When Rocky fought the light heavyweight champ, remember in the movie? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And he said, you have nothing left but power. You have no speed. You have no endurance, but you have and that's what Mike's got. And I don't, like I said, it's an all fun and games that you get hurt and get hit. And I think Jake Paul in this little experience of YouTube and when you start getting hit and with a real boxer, no matter how old he is, all that changes. Exactly. Exactly. I agree. 100%. So does, is there a switch that gets flipped in Mike's head when he gets in the ring? Like understanding he's 58. Understand. I understand all that. That flipped years ago. I know. I know. I know. I know. On his podcast, he's, you know, he's stoned. He's high. He's just floating around. But I'm just saying, when you get that doing that in that square, listen to his interviews the last couple of weeks, he's getting that surly back. And then he said, I gotta turn into that guy again. Yeah. And he's turned into that guy. He said he hasn't smoked weed in a while. He's preparing for this fight. He hasn't smoked. Yeah. He's back to off his med. All right. So 58 year old Mike Tyson. I mean, what, what kind of damage can he do with 14 ounce gloves on? Oh, he can do some damage. He definitely can do some damage. And he will do some damage. Yeah. You know, if he hits him in the kneecap, right, it's all it's like 12 miles to get you a seven day hospital's day, 14 hours might get you a three day, right? Yeah, right. But you, but you're going to the hospital. If he hits you. Yes. Yes. Yes. Especially if it's a Mike Tyson hit me. All right. So is Lloyd Jackson put money on this fight? How do you approach it? You're the boxing aficionado. How do you die? You're approaching it? Well, now, I have Mike winning in the first three rounds. You know, Mike, if Mike went to one, two or three, I'm good. I also, but I also bet. Oh boy. That, that, that Jake Paul will win in the first round. Oh, yeah, I see that. Of course I am. I did that because first of all, the, you know, the money is right on that. Plus, if Mike comes out and starts throwing crazy and starts being wild and Jake just gets lucky and gets it hitting with a good shot, you know, anything can happen. Who knows? And I just want to cover myself. But I believe truly first three rounds, Mike, this guy is going to be on, you know, looking up at the skylight of the Texas stadium looking through the lights at the stars. All right. To me, this is, this is what I'm calling my Cirque de Soleil theory because when I went and saw Cirque de Soleil, I know they can do the stunts. I want to see if they fall. Like to me, I know that this is a dog and pony show, but I still want to see Mike Tyson put Jake Paul in a pine box. All I say, go watch on YouTube and Archie Moore fight when he was like 50 something years old fighting and then come tell me that the older guy still can't fight if he knows how to fight. And Archie Moore was fighting actual, yeah, but just from a 40 something, but those guys were fighting actual real fighters. Right. Jake Paul's not a real fighter. So he gave him 10 years for that. And this is going to be like that. You know, real, real fighters, real fighters, you know, had amateur fights that went through the Olympics. He did it the right way. This guy just decided, you know, know how to cover up when you heard the whole thing. Yeah. This is this is this. Like I said, this YouTube stuff stops tonight because Mike don't follow scripts. All right. I hope not. If they told Mike, this is how we go do the giveable buddy, like you're working the midsection. That's it. I hope so. No, I hope so. All right. Lloyd, we're going to be tuned in. Thank you, my friend. Have a nice weekend. Hey guys, you too. All right. That's Lloyd Jackson from JR morning. You want money? Of course I am. I'm not putting money on. It's like been on wrestling. It's kind of alive. It's kind of hot. All right, KB, I'll talk to you. All right. All right. Take a break. Come back for more three o'clock hour coming up. All right. Three o'clock on this gray Friday afternoon. It's good to have you.

Donald Trump is getting praise from Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders says he will quote, absolutely be willing to work with president elect Donald Trump, especially if the Republican follows through with a proposed credit card interest rate limit in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, I believe. Bernie Sanders said if Trump, for example, follows through on his proposal to limit interest rates on credit cards to 10%, which is what he campaigned on. Absolutely. I will be there. I think it's a good idea. I think it's time we told the people on Wall Street. They cannot change. They cannot charge the desperate working class people who have a hard time paying their bills, 25, 30, 40% interest rates. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. This is the weirdest avengers I've ever seen. I mean, just wild, wild. So I guess that's a thing now. Bernie Sanders is going to work with Donald Trump on credit card interest rates. Okay. How about this? An American Airlines flight had to perform an expedited climb earlier this week, Wednesday, to avoid mountainous terrain in Hawaii. The flight which left in the early morning hours was hastily ordered to make the climb to avoid crashing into a mountainside in Hawaii. The FAA said that an air traffic controller instructed the flight to quote perform an expedited climb after the crew did not make an assigned turn while departing from Honolulu International Airport. The FAA is investigating the incident and said the controller's actions ensured the aircraft remained safely above nearby terrain. It's truly one of my great fears of something like that happening. Pilots, you're going to have to climb incredibly fast to avoid hitting a mountain. Hope that's okay. And did they warn the passengers or did we just climb? Just climbed. Okay. Well, then you're going to have, I would be sitting in there when they, the climbs, I'm being very happy that my pants were washable. I was going to say, if you watch the Lions game on Sunday, you may have seen something a little amiss with James Houston, the Lions edge rusher. Okay. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I would look it up. I do know what you're talking about. That would be me. Yeah, me too. If that was something that that this plane that these pilots had to do. I'll leave it there. If you're interested in finding out, all you got to do is look it up. James Houston, uniform, Sunday Texans. That's your Google prompt. Hey, Alexa, what happened to Chris Houston, James Houston's pants against the Texans? I just, I hope somebody heard that. Alexis, I heard some, but some Alexa is now telling people that James Houston may have had a slight stain in his, in his pants. The RFK junior nomination to HHS secretary is being looked at critically by folks to put it lightly. And now you can add Mike Pence to the name of skeptics, because former vice president under Donald Trump said in a statement on the appointment, I believe the nomination of RFK junior to serve as secretary of HHS is an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of pro-life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and our nominees for decades because Robert F Kenny has supported abortion rights. So that the fact that he is at HHS is a problem. Again, if I may, throw this into the conversation. If you go across that bridge over there to the great city of Windsor and you try to buy fruit loops, you cannot. They don't exist in the same format as they do in Detroit, across the waterway. If you go across to Windsor and ask for a mountain do at a restaurant, they won't accommodate it because they don't view it as a pop. They view it as an energy drink. All I'm saying is, I think it's, I am okay with the fact that somebody is looking at our food system, for example, and going like, yeah, we don't need this in our food. This is, you can't find this anywhere else in the world that doesn't exist. They have laws against fruit loops, for example. I think it's, look, I understand RFK is a lightning rod. I understand that this is somebody who has drawn criticism, particularly from the left. I think it's fair to look into our food system and the things that are allowed here that aren't allowed elsewhere. I don't have much of a problem with it. Now, if we start getting real wacky, and we're, you know, that's a different story down the road, but I don't have much of an issue with it. U.S. retail sales are up in the month of October. They rose just slightly under a half a percentage point, according to the Commerce Department. And it's because more and more people are starting to shop for Christmas, for Hanukkah, for the holiday seasons earlier, that more and more people are starting to shop earlier. Also, Donald Trump has met with the president of Argentina. And when this guy was elected in Argentina, he is like very much a kind of the conservative of the Argentinian political landscape. And he came in and is just ripping off, you know, the waste, the wasteful spending in Argentina, very similar to kind of how Donald Trump views regulations and a lot of bloat. And now, of course, Elon and Vivek are going to lead this Department of government efficiency that's going to be an outside group that's going to look into the government spending. And this president of Argentina, calling Donald Trump's electoral win the greatest political comeback in history, praising Elon Musk for saving humanity, and very much on the same similar path as as Donald Trump in this potential in the second administration may be under. Also speaking of Donald Trump, he was spoke at the AFPI gala at Mar-a-Lago yesterday and Sylvester Stallone spoke and compare Donald Trump to George Washington, saying that when George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world because without him, you could imagine what the world would be like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington. Congratulations. Saying that nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off and what cabinet position does he get now? It would have to, I mean, be something with fictitious boxers, right? The office of fictitious athletes? I don't know. You know, it's weird. I never understood the city of Philadelphia and the Rocky statue. Do you know how many famous people have come from Philadelphia? How many great boxers, real boxers have come from Philadelphia? Yeah, but people don't know who those are. To idolize a movie character as like the thing is wild to me. Isn't there a statue of RoboCop somewhere? Not yet. Oh, I keep looking. I will visit that over and over. Really? Absolutely. You're a big RoboCop guy. Absolutely. All right. Have you seen the Rocky statue? I've never seen a Rocky movie. Yeah. Well, so, so no, never into Philadelphia, but I would see the statue, but I've never seen this. This is one of my hot takes. I don't think Rocky's very good. Ah, so it's one of my, it's one of my many hot takes. Dave will be over here. Oh, Dave knows. We've gotten into many arguments about it. We've gotten into many arguments about it. All right. We'll take a break. Remember, going back to the dark ages of the Detroit bankruptcy, well, uh, Judge Gerald Rosen is has a new book out that's called Detroit resurrected a bankruptcy and back. We'll talk to the judge coming up on the other side here on Jay afternoon. So it, uh, boy, in the grand scheme of things, it really just wasn't that long ago. I mean, you're talking 11 years ago when Detroit spiraled into bankruptcy coming off of the reception or the, the recession at the end of, of the 2000s Detroit was in a mess. They were in a really, we were in a really bad spot and crime was rampant. The infrastructure was crumbling and they're just, they didn't seem like a great direction. Fast forward 11 years, it is a remarkable comeback story and, and how far and the perception of Detroit is really remarkable. And the chief mediator in the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history was Judge Gerald Rosen. And he's got a new book out. It's called Detroit resurrected to bankruptcy and back and the good judge joins me here this afternoon. It's great to have you. Chris, how are you? I'm, I'm well, uh, in part because of the, the steps that have been taken to bring Detroit back from, from the dark ages. What do you, when you look back, it's a great story. It is. It's, it's the greatest of all stories. Everybody loves a comeback story. And when it involves a city that was once the, the, the shining beacon on the hill to the depths of despair that we fell to, um, the, the, the turnaround is remarkable. When you look back, when you look back into those early days of where Detroit had fallen, what was your perspective on the city and of the situation that we had found ourselves in? Well, it was pretty bleak. Uh, when I was first appointed as the chief judicial mediator by Judge Stephen Rhodes, uh, back in July of 2013, Detroit was flat broke and flat on its back. And, uh, not only as you, as you talked about were city services not being provided. In fact, there's a term used by bankruptcy experts called service delivery and solvent, which basically means that the city really wasn't a city at all. Uh, there were no services, uh, being offered consistently throughout the city. But in addition to that, uh, the city had very few assets that could be monetized to pay creditors. And that was a, that was a very serious challenge for me. And, and then once, once you got your feet under you and you understood the, the, the depths of, of, of how broke the city truly was, when, when did that, when did the, the, the decision start to be made of, okay, well, here's what we need to do. And of course, then there was, you know, uh, the, the, the state appointed emergency manager. And when did you kind of start realizing and putting the pieces together of how we get out of this? Uh, well, actually I can remember exactly almost, uh, after I was appointed, I was on a long planned golf trip with my 15 year old son down in Florida. And I had taken a lot of reading with me, uh, about the city's fiscal distress. And, uh, I, one of the, one of the things I had taken down to read was Kevin or Kevin or was the emergency manager. I had taken his, uh, proposal for creditors, which was really much more than a proposal. It was a deep dive into the city's fiscal and financial dysfunction. And, uh, I was reading it and, uh, it really hit me when I got to the section on assets and saw that there were almost no assets. And of course, my job, my deliverable as the mediator was to, was to get settlements with creditors and to get settlements, you have to have either money or assets that can be monetized into money. And, uh, I realized the only asset, the only real asset that the city had was the, uh, wonderful collection of art at the Detroit Institute of Arts. And all of the creditors and even the city were talking about liquidating that. I thought that would be just a shame. So I immediately began thinking about a way to monetize the art without selling it or in any way, or in any way losing that incredible collection that we have, which is a real gem for Detroit. And that was, that was how it started, really. Um, if I could, if I could make just a, yeah, one correction, the name of my book is Grand Bargain, which is what this became known. It's called Grand Bargain, the inside story of Detroit's dramatic journey from bankruptcy to rebirth. Uh, the book that you talked about, Detroit resurrected to bankruptcy and back was by Nate Bomi. And it came out about eight or nine years ago. And it's sort of a precursor to, to my book, because when Nate wrote his book, of course, the rebirth was just getting started. It was right after the bankruptcy ended, but, you know, fell fast forward nine years later. And we're, we're really hitting on all cylinders now in the resurrection and rebirth of Detroit. I apologize for that. So Grand Bargain in the book. And, and so when you look back at everything that has transpired since, when you look back at, at, you know, uh, the NFL draft most recently, or all of the restaurants that have come to town or the way that, that, uh, that the city government has operated over the last decade. Do you ever sit back and go, Oh my God, I cannot believe we're here or I can't believe it's, this is happening already. Um, the, the, the great relationships between the city and the state and the business community. Did you, did you anticipate this kind of fast track resurrection? Uh, I didn't anticipate that would happen this quickly. And you know, the things that you're talking about, uh, like the, uh, rebirth of the restaurant scene, uh, the rebirth, the rebirth of activities in Detroit and people coming back to Detroit and the kids are coming back. The kids that went to, you know, LA and Florida and Chicago and New York, they're coming back to start businesses too. And that's, that's happened. It's all happened much more quickly, but you know, there's a more fundamental rebirth to Detroit. And that is the financial and infrastructure piece of it. Uh, I wrote an epilogue to the book about four, three or four months ago. I thought I could write the epilogue in, uh, maybe two or three days. And it took me three weeks because so much has happened. It's 20, the epilogue is 20 some odd pages. And just as an example, I, I sent the epilogue over to Mayor Duggan for him to read to make sure I didn't miss anything because he's of course been such a big part of the rebirth. And, uh, I, he invited me over to his office and while I was there, his chief of staff, Stephanie Washington came in and said, Mayor, we've just heard from Moody's that Detroit's credit rating has been increased again. This is the 10th increase in the city's credit rating in 10 years. That's almost unheard of. And it puts Detroit right at the top in credit rating of the major cities in the country. And that's a, that's a very fundamental change. And it's important because the, the higher your credit rating, the higher a city's credit rating is the better terms it can borrow money on. For example, if it has to issue bonds to do, to do projects and work and of them, there are many parts of the rebirth that are miraculous. And that is certainly one of the parts, the fact that the, that the city's credit rating is now so high at the beginning of the bankruptcy in July of 2013. Detroit was at junk status and falling. Well, uh, it's a, I can't wait to read the book. It's the grand bargain, the inside story of Detroit's dramatic journey from bankruptcy to rebirth. Where can we get the book? Thanks for asking. I did a radio show last week and forgot to tell people that my publisher, my publisher wasn't very happy. So, uh, grandbarganbook.com, again, grandbarganbook.com. And if I could just talk about the grand bargain in 20 seconds, because what the grand bargain really was was sort of a triple bank shot, which began early one morning at the beginning of the bankruptcy as a doodle on the cardboard backing of a legal pad and became sort of a triple bank shot that monetized the DIA's art by raising $820 million from 13 philanthropic foundations from the state and private donors and locked it off, locked the art off from all of the creditors in perpetuity and gave all of the arts proceeds to the city's civilian and uniform retirees to dramatically reduce their pension losses. Yeah, and it was executed perfectly. Can't wait to read the book. Judge, thank you for your time. Best of luck. And we'll talk soon. Thank you very much, Chris. Yep, you got it. We'll take a break. Come back for more next right here on W.J.R. So one of the, the things that's interesting to me in the aftermath of the election. And this is something that we've talked a lot about. And I told you why I think Democrats lost, told you why I think Donald Trump won. And now you're starting to see members of the Democratic Party speak out in ways that we really haven't heard before. And that includes John Federman, the senator out of Pennsylvania. This is somebody who was very much a, he told the party line in terms of messaging. He was kind of your, your normal company man, right? Well, John Federman has been speaking out against Democrats and not quite so much in favor of Donald Trump or for Donald Trump or for Republicans. But he has very much softened his tone and his stance on a lot of issues. And in it, a lot of it started particularly around Israel and Hamas. But one of the things that Federman has said now to NBC News is that Democrats need to stop, quote, freaking out over everything Donald Trump does. It's not even what you might say as a candidate. He said in the interview, all of the very hard left kind of quote woke things Republicans used in advertising this year are unloaded on the backs of all of us in purple states. And we're paying for all the things that our colleagues might say in these hard blue kinds of districts. I've said this before. It's like clutch those pearls harder and scold louder. That's not going to win. And that's been demonstrated in this cycle. And that's kind of what I told you the Wednesday after the election. It's what I've said since is Democrats need to take a hard look in the mirror at their messaging at their approach and their way of addressing the American people instead of just demeaning somebody. How about we talk about what you want to do? How about we talk about what you want to do in detail? Because in my view, they were light on substance and heavy on well, everything else. And so John Federman has kind of emerged as this person who is kind of being honest, somebody who's taking a more sensible, logical approach. And I got to be honest, it's refreshing. It's different. It's new. It's good. I like it. I like when people, particularly people in power, particularly people who have been voted on by the American people or by people in your state. I like a little bit of accountability. I like being able to that that that self reflection. And I think the clutching of pearls is exactly right. Don't whistle past the graveyard. Don't just say, Oh, well, we lost because of X, Y, and C. No, why? Why did you lose? Why have you become the party that you in the decades of past that you you've hated? You've now become the party of elites. You've now become the party of of of people who are so out of touch with the American people. And I think John Federman is a great example of being able to look yourself in the mirror. And, and, you know, if you got a couple pimples, you got to cover it up, right? If you got the warts, address it. To me, we have a real opportunity here, I think, for our politicians to reflect and look in the mirror and say, here's what's wrong. Now, it's easy for a party in power not to do that. It's easy for them to, to say, well, look, we were elected to do a job and we're going to do it. And you will never hear anything else in a sitting administration or an upcoming administration that would, that would have any sort of different, differing messaging. But for the Democrats to, to, I think, what needs to be done is pull back towards the middle, pull back towards actual policy, pull back towards and away from the coastal elites and these people that they have despised for years. To pull back from that, John Federman seems to be leading that charge. Now, if you ask me, do you think that the majority or most people will will come to that same conclusion? No, of course not. Of course not. But when you've got somebody like Bernie Sanders saying, well, if Donald Trump wants to lower the interest rates on credit cards to 10%, I'll support it. I'm for it. I think it's a great idea. And then you've got Federman out here beating this, this kind of anti-party drum of why they've been unsuccessful about why they lost this election and why if they continue down this trajectory, they would lose future elections. I think that there is a tremendous amount to be learned. And if the party is willing to take a hard look in the mirror, then maybe they find themselves in a more advantageous position in the future. I mean, look at Michigan, for example. Yesterday, we talked about who might run for governor and the prospects of it. We talked about Mike Duggan. Hey, Brian, how many calls did we get from conservatives saying that they would vote for Mike Duggan? A ton. A ton. And text. A lot of people say they would vote for Mike Duggan no matter what party they are. Because Mike Duggan is not an ideologue. Right. Mike Duggan does not toe the line of what the Democratic Party has become. He's a Democrat, sure. But he has shown his ability to work with everybody and bring Detroit back from the depths of this despair that we were in. And so there is an opportunity here for Democrats to look around the country, look at people like Mike Duggan, look at people that are that don't just spout out the company lines that they've that they've paddled. Yeah. And it shows that people want somebody who will get stuff done. It doesn't matter what party they want. A sane person. Yeah. True. They want somebody that can offer solutions. They don't want they don't want people that that that poo poo the issue of inflation and that the economy is so great, but but at the ground level when they get home from work and got to find something to eat or got to go to the grocery store, can't afford it. That's what they want. It's very simple. And and I am I'm happy and I'm excited quite frankly to see that there are people out there that are willing to do that and are and are willing to my bad or bad. We got to figure it out. This doesn't work. We're going to figure it out. I appreciate the fact that that happens and that that and that is happening with at least some elected officials. All right, we'll take a break. Come back for more here on Jay afternoon. All right, Michigan football off this weekend. They've got to buy Michigan State will be taking on Illinois and Champaign Urbana and the Lions at home to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lots to talk about. Let's bring in Steve Courtney, my friend. Happy Friday to you. Oh, happy Friday back at you there, my good friend. Yeah, lots of exciting football action going on. As you mentioned, you're Michigan football Wolverines enjoying a bye week. Can't lose. No, no, they will lose this weekend. They will host the four and five as it stands right now, two and four in the conference, Northwestern Wildcats next Saturday in a squared quite the duty for Northwestern tomorrow. High noon, they will be hosting number two Ohio State. But listen, earlier this week, Chris, you and I were discussing the situation involving the highly touted QB out of Belleville High School Bryce Underwood. He committed last January to LSU. Brian Kelly, I'm not sure why. But anyway, your Wolverines have stepped up according to reports to the tune of 10 and a half million dollars. Now, there seems to be some breaking stories here. News, if you will, apparently Underwood is sticking to his commitment with LSU. Even though Coner Stallions is currently on the Belleville High School staff, there's, there's lots of undercurrents here. Yeah, that's okay. I'm not, I'm not broken up about it. He'll have a fine career. I'm sure it owes you. You say that with a whole lot of conviction, my friend. Look, I, um, I have a, I have a real problem with with the NIL period that the types of shenanigans that are happening. I just, I, you know, you pay a kid 10 million bucks and you'll never be able to live up to that. So I just, I'm okay with it. I, this, this is out of control, out of control. Yeah, it's, and there's no end in sight. No, we have discussed it time and time again. You know, I think previous times, Chris, we were hopeful anyway that some parameters via the NCAA or elsewhere would be drawn up. And so far that has not been the case. No. Meanwhile, all the best of my Spartans, they are in Spain or Bana to take on the fighting Alana. Both these clubs coming off by weeks, they will be in Champaign or Bana tomorrow. 230 is the kick. Of course, you will hear it right here on WJR and for the Spartans, three games remaining on the schedule. You win two of the three. You become bowl eligible. That would be somewhat of a special mark for first-year head coach Jonathan Smith, who said you can only win one at a time. We've got a lot to play for these last three games. I know our guys understand that it's not easy to win, but we have an opportunity in front of us to win more than we lose for the entirety of this season. More good news. Starting quarterback Aiden Childs has been a participant in practice. His status has yet to be clarified. It's looking pretty good. Remember, he was escorted to the locker room with a forearm injury during that the third quarter of the Spartan's loss at the hands of the Indiana Hoosiers last week. So they've got Illinois next on tap. You'll hear that on WJR. That's a 230 kick. And then they've got Purdue at home and then Rutgers at home. So it's doable. It is the Purdue tilt because there's college football pretty much every day of the week will be a week from tonight as a matter of fact, certainly looking forward to being back on the banks of the Red Cedar. Now the Lions getting together with the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday at one o'clock. And you know the story, the Lions have won seven in a row. When they knock off, not if when they knock off the Jaguars on Sunday, that will be the Lions longest winning streak during the Super Bowl era. It would have been nice to get a little help last night from the Washington commanders. That did not take place. The Eagles beat them 26-18 in the city of brotherly love. Philadelphia hanging around. They are now eight and two. Be hard pressed to have the Lions come up with a bigger finish than they did in Houston last Sunday night, winning that 26-23. Yeah, Jared Gough throwing five picks. But two off deflection, one a Hail Mary. You could easily say, okay, he had a couple of interceptions. But nobody is more certain that there's some cleaning up to do on that offensive side of the ball than Jared Gough himself. There's a million things we can improve on that I can improve on that we're going to have to improve on if we want to continue on the trend. Well, remember, remember, Steve, Taylor Deckard didn't play in that game. Right. And he's good. And that is a huge, huge issue. If you don't have one of your stalwart on the offensive line playing and sounds like he's going to give it a go. Sounds like he's planning on playing this week. But yeah, I mean, anytime you lose those guys up front that have been so dominant when they are together. And look, injuries happen. This is something you got to deal with during the regular season and they were able to weather the storm. But but when you don't have a guy like Taylor Deckard in the game, that's a problem. Well, Lions Nation collectively, looking forward to the Lions debut of D. N. Zederius Smith. He was on hand in Houston. And we got a firsthand account, I think of what he's going to be like as a teammate coaching up the D line all over the place. It was nice to see it's going to be great seeing him in the Honolulu blue and silver. Meanwhile, the Jaguars at two and eight are a complete mess. Once again, they're starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He is going to miss his second straight game as a matter of fact with that shoulder injury. So the work will fall to Mac Jones. Made his first start with a jags last week. Didn't go well at all through for 111 yards, two picks in that ugly 12 seven loss to the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. Lions, by the way, Chris, favored by 14. It's unbelievable. It's an unbelievable spread in the NFL. And then of course, we've got this fight tonight. Yeah, little fight, Tyson and and Jake Paul. I am I'm going to be dialed in. I'm ready to go. I don't really care about the undercards. I don't really care about any of the other matches. I just want to tune into the to the big guns at the end of the night. Yeah, the coverage on Netflix getting underway at eight and they are anticipating the main bout getting underway somewhere around 10 for research purposes. I will be at a pub. I hope you're sitting down for that piece of news. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it. And it got off to the start. You kind of thought it would at the way in with the Tyson slap of I just by the way, I did see a video. So Jake, Paul, this is pre slap right before they get up to the stare down for the picture. Jake Paul is like on all fours crawling to him. And then as soon as he stands upright, he steps on Tyson's foot. A little just ever so slightly, just like the the big toe stepping on Tyson's foot. And that's what prompted the slap. So look, if that's what's going to ignite this thing, I'm all for it. Well, again, you know, reading today, Mike Tyson, 58 years old. And there's so many people concerned about his welfare. Not me. I don't put him in a box, Mike. Well, I don't think Tyson would have signed off on this if he thought for a second that something that he couldn't do it. Well, yeah. And just want to see a great fight. I would love to see the old Mike Tyson. I would love to see that by the way. Let's go see your set of sets. Let's do it. Mitchell, I'm in the crew coming up. See you.
