The Drive with Josh Graham - Happy Birthday to The Drive

I drive your deal with Miranda were seven years $75 million grant partnership know about the financial has it been confirmed yet again sources telling 47 $75 million.

So now that Michael Jordan has landed a huge endorsement deal. In addition to Zion Williamson. He's landed in recent years Michigan football North Carolina basketball and football. Russell Westbrook Chris Paul Jimmy Butler, among others, is it time for Hornets fans to expect them to land stars. It's not landing stars at least getting in the room with some of these guys listen to this quote from Zion Williamson Zion told ESPN. This I felt incredibly blessed to be a part of the Jordan brand family since I was a kid, I dreamed of making it to the league and having the type of impact on the game.

Michael Jordan had and continues to have today. He was one of those special athletes.

I looked up to." How many guys do you think feel the same way Zion Williamson does there looks up the Michael Jordan what you like to play for Michael Jordan's team what you like to be in the room with Michael Jordan think that right, but I can even think what the biggest visit free agents had to Charlotte in MJ's tenure, or maybe even have failed as a Gordon Hayward visit.

I think aside from who nobody I don't think it's unfair to expect MJ to do what Pat Riley has done. Miami isn't lost Angeles, it is it New York. Yes, you don't have to pay state income tax. That's fine and they have beaches over there, but we have beaches and mountains mother believer. We've got a great stay ourselves in the in the ninth most populous city in the country and the greatest basketball player of all time running this organization so you telling me the cash-strapped Miami Heat to get visits with top players, Jimmy Butler will go out of his way to want to go to Miami. Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul. These players, even though they never went said publicly they want to be part of the Miami Heat Kevin Ryan before he chose Golden State.

He met with Pat Riley, Magic Johnson, no interest in doing the evaluating of talent overseas doing all the little things it takes to be a great director of basketball operations for an NBA team even said it himself.

I want to go back to be a Magic Johnson.

I wanted to get tweeting doing all that stuff wants to be where MJ's at it wants to sit courtside and be the face at the very top without getting involved in the basketball stuff but even Magic Johnson who was out after a year or two.

Magic Johnson landed Lebron James got meetings with players saying they wanted to be there. Now I know that Los Angeles but that's Magic Johnson and this is Michael Jordan. This is MJ your landing Zion Williamson in the show deal now start getting meetings with players.

It almost seems like MJ is more interested.

And it's more beneficial to MJ that he gets partnerships and deals with the athletes from Jordan brand. The getting them the play for the Charlotte Hornets. It almost seems that way.

We heard the rumors part of the reason they didn't trade Kimball Walker at the All-Star break was because they wanted him to be around for all the All-Star festivities wanted him to be around during this time Jordan brand doing things in Charlotte and it was Michael Jordan's big weekend he wanted Kimball Walker to be there for that type of stuff.

Am I wrong would it be reckless for me to allege that Michael Jordan's priorities might not be in this order Charlotte Hornets Jordan brand that it might be the other way around. Just not all think your outline incident not because often I've wanted this out loud for the past seven or eight years. How is how he's able to do this because if you grew up watching Michael Jordan the number one thing that comes to your mind when you think of him is that he is the ultimate competitor I'm gonna rip your throat out. When I play you that's in Asia I'm in Kobe's) are giving up even got even get to the same level as my Michael Jordan would fight you over a game of cards. So for him to just be so lackadaisical about the makeup of the Hornets and never attacked digital misspending. It's really weird he doesn't really want up with what we know from watching Michael Jordan the past 40+ years for him not to be as competitive with this you know that they were competitive with Adidas under Armour new balance.

Whoever was trying to get Zion services Studios in China.

You know that have put a deal for him. Michael Jordan got a win this week a massive wind now start doing it with your basketball team that's the Hornets fan. That's what I'm thinking right here, in addition to that Michael Jordan actually had a quote miss talking about Zion Zion's incredible determination character and player inspiring is an essential part of the new talent that will help lead the brand into the future.

He told us he would shock the world and asked us to believe in him we do." Later on Sunday. Vaccaro was the centerpiece of the soul man 30 to 30 documentary the proliferation of shoe deals in college basketball. How shoe executives became so involved in basketball. Only Vaccaro has been really the grassroots sneaker guru of all gurus and he was talking about Zion's contract. He said something I do slightly disagree with.

He said the fact that Zion was drafted in New Orleans costing money quote. I would guaranteed 100 million.

If the would've been in New York or Los Angeles. There's a difference in cities.

There's no question about that.

I think that's nonsense playing in New Orleans did not cost Zion endorsement dollars in basketball players brand is stronger than the franchise when you watch the TV commercials it's never the Rockets versus the Lakers it's James Harden versus Lebron James. That's the way it's always been, or at least especially the last 10 years.

During the player empowerment deck and football is different in many other sports. It's different that Prescott is probably a bigger star then Matthew Stafford and Philip Rivers than Matt Ryan. You can argue than cam Newton but is not better than any of those quarterbacks. He just has to start on the side of the Summit Pl. in Dallas that mean something in basketball, not so much the biggest stars in the sport. The biggest store.

Aside from last year. Essentially, the last two decades. Played most of his time in Cleveland, Ohio and in Miami right no one thought he was losing endorsement opportunities in Cleveland. Even though he was in Cleveland many was in Miami coming to rest before going to Brooklyn Oklahoma City and Oakland Oakland boom and Oakland is the tech it's it's Silicon Valley is the center of the second yada yada yada Vaccaro did mention how you mentioned Los Angeles and New York City. He would be making much more pure in those cities. Fainthearted, one of the biggest most marketable marketable stars in the MBA and used in Oklahoma City.

Steph Curry playing in Oakland. It doesn't matter as much of the world is smaller now you know with social media and always been connected, 15, 20 years ago. Yet maybe it did matter to be in LA or Chicago or Boston or whatever, but now I mean just use your example Aaron Rodgers is probably maybe the second most recognizable football player on earth saw Tom Brady and he plays in the smallest market in the NFL in Green Bay mean that Natalie not Aaron Rodgers. It's a true breeze who just happens to be in the same damn town of Zion William San Diego 336-777-1600 on Twitter at sports triad go to Shane and Kernersville Shaner on the sports of what you got on MJ, you took the words right out of my mouth fell Jordan brand first thing I thought of you can get him for Jordan brand but we can't get Jack out. In short, that it seems to me that the MJ law that all thank you so much for the costing training camp starts at the Carolina Panthers. A lot of people seem to be concerned about cam Newton shoulder and the secondary. I want to be that concerned about it right now. I'm not all, but it's a second surgery on that shoulder since 2017. It's just like 2017 all over again. No it isn't. This surgery we had sports orthopedist Dr. David Dyer on the show not too long ago. It's not as substantial as the surgery he had in 2071. Cam had a January oh yeah, and it was in January versus the 2017 surgery which was in March, which means the surgery was less substantial and he's had more time to rest it. He's thrown sooner.

He's been throwing since April and even if it was like 2017 pamper fans are forgetting here Carolina Panthers with 11 and five in 2017 Catherine for over $3000 for winning football games last year while cams shoulder was sore. We saw that after the Philadelphia Eagles game on all or nothing. The Amazon series. Cam had a massive wrap on the shoulder and you thought that would be the point things went downhill. It wasn't that Crane the Baltimore Ravens what the top deep into the NFL at that point being that they went on to win the AFC North beat them and then beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers badly.

And yes, they had a massive losing streak down the stretch.

But one balance and you be Cleveland one a couple of inches you beat the Redskins cam Newton barely overthrowing Jerry is right against the lion. So what you had the losing streak act like you were close by cam Newton was giving you a chance. He had MVP like numbers at six into with a bum shoulder and even if it was like 2017, which it isn't. Pamper for over 3000 yards in that season. Carolina went 11 and five. You are listening to W SES Winston-Salem W COG Greensboro WPC in Burlington W MFR Highpoint signals make up the triad sports live with Josh Graham sports 920 really is siding day reporting training camp Carolina water quality means summer is almost over all is almost here. Spartanburg be enjoyed by the Carolina Panthers are good men. I understand you are in Spartanburg right now pay me the picture and try to get a lick under our fingers on the guitar. Very cool. Thank you for that very welcome docket.

Now from the give stadium pressbox or some thumping music going on on the PA cabinet on this field right now.

The practice sessions will begin tomorrow with a welcome Panthers party here at give stadium your humble correspondent arrived earlier this morning, checked into my dorm room 109 was saying got everything that minimum-security feel to it. Got the bid and pillow in the Baker picture of my wife and you know all the things you gotta bring like that every year and the weather here is fantastic, you know will get hot but there is a call way you guys are probably feeling daring to try a lower humidity is in the upstate of South Carolina. Two of the players are thrilled by the sly little break in the heat and humidity. The players probably of most interest is cam Newton's, and specifically his right shoulder, but let's take a break from talking about cam because there are some other players.

I don't think fans are that specifically knowledgeable about, at least not yet. One of those players.

The guy was slotted to line up across from Eric read that being second-year safety Rochon called and out of Tennessee.

What the coaches see in him a lot of improvement from his rookie year. He 61, 278 Lane are deftly longer and later, and then read you read is is a little bit more robust of guilt but the coaches really like that.

The steps that they called and has made in terms of its clich�, but I don't know a better way to say it, of the way the coaches said in the players and their nomenclature that the game slows down for you at some point your your last just out there in panic mode trying to survive and more playing intuitively freely with your instincts. Luke equally uses film study of legendary is trying to export that I think Alden is body and I think the best could be yet to be relational man what you think with the secondary. I just think that there comes a time where you have to trust your scouting. You have to trust your coaches trust the development that they instill or that they build in some of these players. I think fans are concerned with the secondary because they don't know many of these names they haven't seen them out on the field yet they knew Mike Adams. They knew The monoline, but if the track record tells us anything about the way the Panthers have drafted specifically in the secondary. I think we should give golden and corn. Elder the benefit of the doubt, and more importantly the scouting staff that the pointers don't you think so I get on me that felt good, and love to agree with the premise of your question, but we both know how brutal the National Football League is nobody gets the benefit of any kind of doubt, for very long, especially in the backend of an NFL defense. You gotta be able to run you cannot hunt interceptions. At the risk of defensive integrity. Just thinking about other deep needs to talk about it.Josh coupon Seymour what about this young man could be. Now for golden 24-year-old from Notre Dame.

He's got a one that that that iconic got all my little personal watchlist thinking that okay. He's going to be an NFL somebody now is the time for Islam and the Panthers desperately need what he could bring to the secondary.

What about Ross Cockrell 27-year-old Duke University graduate from Charlotte kidney could he stay healthy and contribute. I think I think to be a lot of lot of questions.

It did with safety this year for the Carolina Panthers diminishing story to watch what about second round with the tackle Greg little Greg little his name little because little is not a huge man a lot like Taylor Mouton and he's introspective.

He's quiet but yet he does talk and when he talks, he says things he's up for those who do not know rookie out of Mississippi from Allen, Texas second round draft choice of the Panthers and and he won't have much of a chance to get the break-in. It will be expected to come out very quickly here in and show everybody why he was a second-round pick the voice of the Carolina Panthers but mixed in with the seer on the sports of heavily featured in the Amazon series, all or nothing. Have you had a chance to watch it upstream to the eight episodes.

We had a premier party that my wife and I went to uptown and I would expected Mike, I just thought, okay, this will be sort of a staff event and will be a cash bar and will will watch few episodes and go but oh my gosh, there is the road there is a red carpet, there is cam Newton and Luke equally Christian McCaffrey good selection of players. There is David Tepper was there, the producer of the series was there the Q&A afterward with Shannon spake the former NASCAR. Phil reported he did a fine job with overall and I saw cam couple hours ago at lunch and he was wearing this, he had no shirt on. He had a white jumpsuit kind of a, I told David little bit ago. Sort of a run DMC looking sorted jumpsuit on only cam could do this kind of thing, showing off all the sediments again and just, I mean just hate this is yet another reminder of how unfair genetics is but I think cam what you think of all or nothing to got a bagel megawatt smile and he said man may collect it, but I gave everybody a great insight fans a great insight into, what we do and how we do it, but I'm still trying to get still trying to get over my language and fincas language in the version we saw there's a clean version that will be a lot of blue things blip doubt but it's real is raw. Josh is fully got me to seek God get out there and they become different.

They throw a switch to they become different kinds of love of animals out there that different species in a way Luke equally. By the way, said that it was a voiceover that was dropping all those that found it wasn't him, Inc. equally great regard to damage carefully, but also he does it in a honest waitlist let you know that this is this is a really apologize for it. But anyway the way, does but yeah have you seen much of it yet.

I watched the entire thing and I had to because a lot of people were bugging me. In addition to seeing a lot of Mick mixing there's a few instances where my my mug into the camera shot and I just want to apologize to Jeff Pazo's and all the folks at Amazon for that well. I look forward to seeing that I don't think you see me, but I think you hear some Holland radio call a lot a lot of Mick mixing we hear and since we started with Johnny be good. I got to know and you mentioned your wife to get the photo there it in your in your living quarters at Wofford College. What's the go to song on the guitar, you play to impress, I will play the guitar very well. I like working on electric guitar got vaccinated years ago with this idea of set up of an electric guitar, several decorated guitar players that I was in band with awesome players, monster players, but had no idea how to set the action. How nothing about neck relief. They didn't really know about pick up tight and and and I thought how can this be, how can you have this command over this instrument, yet not know how it works. So I got interested in working on guitars and taught myself few course fee scale. I like blues guitar, Logan is devoted by lot better hardware than me, but the full 12 bar blues occupy get the rule 12 bar blues in either ear. 840 right now and not embarrass myself too much close with this meant this. I'm not big into anniversaries and birthdays any of that today marks the one-year anniversary of the show being on the air in the sports but I remember it, I was scrambling around this time a year ago where I learned I had to do essentially a two hour on air job interview in a studio. I never been in before with people I never worked with before and Mick mixing was able to pick the phone up and who knows Mick might've been the reason I got the job at that. So I appreciate no surprise, you got to get you that they thought if this is that God on his Rolodex. We gotta move all and for someone else but proud of you young man. I think you're doing great and I hope you're enjoying is much as I know people enjoyed you keeping them some company ownership enjoy Wofford College. Thanks for doing this Mick got a big mix in the voice of the Carolina Panthers pending a little bit of time with us know it really was a scramble like situation like imagine you have a job interview.

But you're like two hours away. For it and you get told how you got a be here at 6 o'clock and oh yeah maybe a few hundred people were to be listening in on it and they will know at least your loved ones who might be tuned in that this is a job interview essentially for you on the air very public way that happens. So I speak a few phone calls.

Unfortunately at Harding at the news and record and Mick mixing pick up the phone and we did� Where a few hours notice without a shower without any clue what is good to talk about middle of the summer here. We are. Thank goodness for Mick mixing. That's what I gotta say that Dick is a lecture on vacation and listening. Driving back from Wilmington you want to admit your first thought you wanted to admit my first floor think I could do it very well. I wasn't sure my very very first thought and I'm so glad you don't do this anymore as much as you are that first time he's probably rattled nervous and everything else, but throughout that first show you rattled paper into the microphone literally every 10 minutes and was driving the car, like who is this guy got misty rewrite little that I know I did up spending the next year of my life which you and put not quality. Sports an assignment quite the radio marriage could the best North Carolina bread baseball player currently be in the Biggs.

That's where will begin sharing with Darren Vaught next is 609 20 now back to drive with Josh Graham one year anniversary I'm not celebrating things so top 10 list surrounded we don't have any desert here to celebrate Darren Vaught thinking out here sharing with Darren so I figured I'd come up with a list of desserts you should've brought my hand deserve it very fun to play along. Dennis's wordplay. Aaron has gotten very good tries to guess what's on the list and it sounds like Darren who hates this segment really feels like he can do what I do as well as I can write you through about 20 years ago or 20 units ago you said that it's absolutely true here's here's how I envision the segment going so I played basketball in high school and went to a high school bit is a perennial state contender in the sport of wrestling so we had a a wrestling coach who would claim he would he would poach athletes from the basketball team to join his wrestling team and turn them into state champions and he I remember specifically in gym class one day I was shooting basketball. He walks in. His name was Coach Boyd.

He says there let me show you how easy this game is and he takes the ball from me unsuspecting looking guy doesn't look like a Hooper right walks up doesn't dribble with the ball in his hand walks up to the top of the key fires up of three drills it nothing but net is like.

A dessert is something you serve a plate after a meal have to be on a plate discovering something that can be serving plate, cupcakes not on a plate could be doughnut with you kaput.

Josh's tapping the Josh's East Carolina University roots here. I legendary baseball coach Keith declare excellent really good one very much Darren, thanks for being here buddy, always a pleasure Darren Vaught on Twitter at Darren Vaught's another Sharon next why Zion sneaker file signed yesterday rain Charlotte hornet here on 922 the drive Josh Graham rating don't reverse the windmill started. You are going. Today we took off so uncomfortable right now. I didn't want to do anything for the one year anniversary. I regret telling was the one year and he of the show being on the air pulling clips that are just friends worthy and awkward that when you just heard came from the ACC tournament I asked as I been doing all year long directed all year long for RJ to great Zion thongs usually lowballed him to Clemson reverse study stuff. The most noteworthy notoriously gave it a five.

Zion got out of his chair in the locker room and I really didn't do anything was what RJ said.

He gave that wanted 10 Coach K didn't want to hear anything of it. Meanwhile, what you can't see because it's audio Zion was so thrilled with the fact that RJ finally gave them the got it but coach K shut it down and I go straight into my laptop to type RJ and Kam did their identity. Darren Vaught was right next to me at the ACC tournament. He said Josh Josh, coach K is staring a hole into your soul right now so I look back on YouTube.

I looked at the click that right there.

We shut everything down Shirley enough as the next reporters asking a question coach K's eyes are just starting my way and I bet you, knowing you that's not even the last of the clips you have here. I bet you have other moments I was I was at odds with coach Davis. I do have one more because you and Kay I don't know why I have no idea how the season began with you and him, had dislike back-and-forth thing going on and he challenged you a little bit. He challenged me. It's funny Carolina fans: to the show and alleged that I root for Duke Duke when coach K is spiking a volleyball verbally in my face and this right here. I got a feeling I know what clip it is.

It's you should know right there I was in the locker room. They nearly lost to Georgia Tech at home I go to Zion and I ask hey what's happening you're playing the five areas we are playing the five like I didn't know I was five and playing it. This is really where I just brought with Zion said to coach K and coach just wasn't having as far as we don't happen we don't number guys.

Is that what he sent you want to name it, you can invent some right now to share your chance. What you say right now my follow him forever. Better not say I'll just say that he was one of the five players on the court playing mostly inside and guarding their center.

That's not a good name for that.

Instead that's what he did is now Nazi. You you you have something there come out right away. So next time if there is well. I have to ask I have to answer your question first. Next time, if there is one yeah that was a was let you know what I have to answer your question first. Next game and sitting front row. He walks in, looks at me, gives me a finger donning does hey you got a new thing for me your gun with dagger to coach yeah what I did what I came up with something brilliant.

Some brand like something no one ever heard of some name David Glenn heard that he goes five fortress. This might be Monday, Wednesday will what I just got to react or just we just rejected Flatley we just dismiss it and general typical Coach K -like tone.

How would that go if I actually gave him an answer to his question that he was asking no no no no no that's probably the case for Mark to join us and just a bit from sports channel 8. Here are the three players at Panthers training. I think that are facing the most pressure and it obviously starts with cam Newton.

He has the throwing shoulder that was operated on for the second time in three years. I'm not not terribly concerned about the shoulder been very clear about that. It's it's not a substantial of a procedure as 2017. He actually performed pretty well with a bum shoulder for over half the year last year before. Just got into a situation he couldn't play much longer. I want to be that worried about cam even though your hearing Ron Rivera talking about Groundhog Day pitch count pitch count for cam Newton already in The first practice being tomorrow Sean Dalton's the next guy by the people concerned about the secondary for the Panthers in my mind. I think it's just that time for Carolina to start relying and trusting their coaching staff. The developmental team. Their scouting department because they've given you no reason to believe they're not worse trusting the secondary they shed some older bodies, Mike Adams, who was starting to cross from Eric Reed, who signed a three-year contract. Contract extension this off-season Mike Adams closer to 40 than he is 30.

He was reliable was there for a number of years.

So since it's a different name filling that spot.

Obviously they're going to be some? The player that's filling that spot is where Sean Dalton second your player third round draft pick out a Tennessee you might remember if you're in SEC football fan and giving the double double middle fingers the double bird buy one get one free special Alabama fans.

So yes and swagger, and you can expect that from people in the secondary but when it comes to the secondary.

It's time for Carolina to play Cornell during the place of The mono and Tomato like he wasn't too old to be re-signed.

That's not why he didn't get respect pieces. A little pricey for a guy who's not to be playing outside because you have Dr. Jackson and James Bradberry playing nickel for you support elder has been here for two years already.

This is good to be his third year.

It's time for him to step in if not more experience came on Seymour, who's back from injury and with golden third round draft pick in the paper scouting department, especially with that position has done an excellent job since Ron Rivera's arrive. I don't think anybody would dispute that since Rivera has arrived in Charlotte look at all these corners who have been great for the Panthers, who were taken in the first round.

Josh Norman on a coastal fifth round draft the two starters right now.

James Bradberry, Dante Jackson. Both were second rounders, so I want to be that concert I would be concerned about the secondary. This present moment. Then you got Greg little massive dude words from Mick Nixon. It's just funny that this guy's last name is little because little he is not second-round pick out of Ole Miss first round grade for the Panthers. They felt like they got a steel trading up to get them at the beginning of the second round they needed a starter Carolina needs to get something out a little and Darrell Williams will see if Darrell Williams could be playing left guard versus right tackle the same way with Mouton Taylor Mouton was going into his second year is Greg little good to be playing left tackle right out of the gate. The Panthers really think a lot of him and there's a chance he could be starting game one yeah little bit of death guys what the play last year Greg Van Rhoton Tyler Larson but those of the three players that are feeling the most pressure going into training cam Newton Sean golden and Greg little drives brought you apart by her friends at Twin Peaks Restaurant Find Them Haynesville Blvd. in Winston-Salem.

Try the 29� draft beer that is in a 22 ounce man size mug. That's the way to go perfectly to watch sports football gets near talking about preseason games before we know in the play for you is to go to Twin Peaks when fixing strengths, scenic views is cam Newton the most polarizing North Carolina sports figure ever will discuss with sports channel lite sperm.

Our next 620 Sports Channel Ln. now joining the show someone I'm very proud of what I learned recently have opportunities in Raleigh. I'm not sure he could talk about right now so I don't know for putting him in an awkward spot at sports generally on Twitter. This is a guy who has a radio show.

You can listen to on Saturdays and as a podcast or sports team, like the radio show. Hey sperm are.

It's good to have you with us. How are you I'm doing very classic millennial moment you hear a song you think you know all you that you got a good something else you know when I know the real version better than the dog so that you have a little like Madonna there. How often does that happen to you.

Are there other songs because another. When I think of right off the bat is ditties I'll be missing you with the police. Every breath you take one to admit him all bare my soul and on your show forgot what I was like 13 or 14 years old, God our producer and in the later when I learned that it often thought that came a few years before that, let's do an ultimate radio segue here cam Newton often is been labeled a superfreak by many different people. He he is trying to recover from a shoulder procedure for the second time in three years. You are someone I go to as a foremost authority on all things North Carolina sports fan. You have a great pulse on North Carolina sports fans is cam the most polarizing sports figure you've seen in this state, and FL and in the Canberra elevated and that after talking to folks in Charlotte off the court. Folks like George anymore polarizing for being you know terrible person that the governor and now there's a question about that you will love and revere him about the state. The way he handled himself in many aspect, but also based on some people find out I think judging what you think of this person with the name Subcategory that fake main top cam Newton and it's more about the status of their support of the history of North Carolina, not necessarily in the past 15 or 20 years, and much of the past 50 or six years but Dean Smith. He was just incredibly cold again. I put you in different categories acclimated here young person but you're younger you don't quite remember the being revered freaking Dean Smith being hated what they thought was a double standard became famous for. Talk about double standard that Dean got treated by the a few key officials or whatever it was timing of games all the things I think he was very cold and probably had more people that will and would take care of them deftly brings out the hater detractor earlier in my life and then later got away from being polar because today I think still that same thing where he is. If you were lining up troops behind the military background he knew how to draw a line and say were going to battle and Jordan lie with me on the part of those who love you want to go to war with them, but then I was just Betty and some of them were the same God that were loving that hated the way he handled himself early in his career, and the general people who hate to think that Mike may athletes on the field upon somebody level to be God.

Somebody bigger than perhaps I should frame it differently. I think when you talk about Dean Smith among North Carolina fancies universally approved and Coach K the same way for Duke fans among Panther fans is is you is his approval rating where you'd expect it to be or not high enough.

I know that we are even in a year before the election year. We are all swept up in the talk of approval rating and that I know exactly what what cam is tracking out right now and by the numbers on cam of the fark you think it should. But your point is well taken up a lot of people who have to be like 1/3 guy nebulous term to cam I would naturally go to war for him in the way I would bother God, peppers, or Ms. Mike today dumping dumb things right.

All our backup done is done is brought criticism by without a doubt, when either bit or did it over the top of the top your baked into the criticism, rather than just probably a lot of the language of the vitriol because of it.

Probably not, especially unique about that.

Yes, I'm a fan of the team, but I still like that cam that there's not many guys that equation quite like you does hey sperm are with us from sports, generally a great follow on Twitter at DH PIV at sports channel late on twitter as well. What see your somebody to give you a platform here to talk about things that I know you're passionate about. That is, music and film music in the theater and you haven't seen lying King yet. You told me before coming on. I saw lying King last night. The live-action remake and before the movie began. I saw the trailer for cats Taylor Swift and Randall Wilson and Jennifer Hudson.

I had goosebumps.

I almost. I'm not afraid to admit I was emotional want to get in a movie theater.

So much so that I whispered to a complete stranger to my right in the theater saying wow that looks good. What's your excitement level for cats in the lion King. I live for me. I all going to be how can you be more excited than the cartoon I don't understand exactly what the drawing pays. That's the problem about animal I can go watch planet Earth will do a lot cooler thing than say yeah line snakes chasing the mongoose in whatever way I feel like an animal can do mortgage at the cats start me as interesting because on the I'm not a big catch. The musical God Lloyd Webber little bit of Jesus Christ superstar. Look at the all-time great cats were never quite my thing sort of the 80s you know everyone was on cocaine naughty costume and that was all a big thing but the trailer that we saw what the musical was don't like to go. I'm fine with that and you're not like Musical to be weird and you know you make actors and actresses will be half Injured to the dogs that we won't know until the dark about how true they are to get your part.

If you hate that I'm not a big Fan but I find it weird only people like you like that? I will be confused now with adaptation of the weird play weird in love itself. I the lion King people are working to build up into because Beyonc�'s dated big-name domicile go in and be willing to give you you can't o'clock Jonathan Taylor Thomas and make the magic that you did young for the back of the day you will know how to start his career to turn out when you first got it out of all try to go pick people that everybody excited to see that I hate on the whole remake genre in general like good blog topic unto risk involved in doing live-action and looking year from now 830 that you ever had it with like he didn't need the hype. There I said it just didn't animals, animals don't about and I need that in a movie. I almost laughed when Fosse died in's spoiler alert Vaasa.that's symbol was looking at yeah sorry for this Simba staring into his his his father's dead corpse and it looked like he was being emotional bodies of real life action lion and Lions not cry and narrator coming over the top like that young guy and see the ball and then I now decide to go with God Matata that's gotta be applicant for something else about blowing up your fears right know about it all right now� Laptop for little while everybody calm down. Oh my God, he's just dropped the bomb on everybody here the control room strong word all know me has to be some language from the one I think that's what we talked about on marijuana and I don't mean to anybody in your control or you celebrate here the perhaps the little celebration on the drive down to celebrate right now on the judgment. I don't know what you're trying to cool and the gang much like riding a wave is impossible to have a frown on your face when you're on that cool and the gang celebration actually actually have something here to commemorate a time when he's home was on our show is leaders here and we gave you one of his singles were in the bottle and time I called for the movie they had to get Renate but I think they are making one from and I don't think there's any music and I don't think the plot is the same as it was 20 years ago, so I don't know how to do live-action remake memory of Dr. cartoon's ability to really get a recall to getting abused Aladdin and lion King. 20 years from now so that the shallow is not of the bubble for a future line can cartoon just know hey sperm are as noted wordsmith on twitter at DH PIV and I don't think there's any better way to sum up what he sperm are is in the sentence he gave a short while ago that I'm not much of a cats the musical kind of guy that is that Steve Smith laughing at it is that without one. I saw pays for doing it. I think that really any thing to have you guys going to close the back.

At about doing it another 2025. Maybe regarding you.yet thanks and understand.

I hope that your position there is comfortable with all you want to be on Twitter at DH when a guy is excited about cats musical are you I really am.

I'm not. I'm not a big cats.

The musical you are.

I would love to meet someone who just classifies them so if you're one of these people as a cats the musical kind of guy 336-777-1600. We will make room for you.

Hard network breaks be damned will make room for cats. The musical time to guy Billy, cats, musical, does remind me I worked at. Again, 2400 people in Colorado and we were playing. It was a country station a.m. country station in the middle of nowhere. There were towels and turkeys in God knows what other animals you'd find on a given day guy calls me at 9 o'clock in the morning and he says and he is the biggest country drawl you can think he got this man, can you stop playing this crappy music. I said I started. I don't think the music but is there anything specific you'd like to hear listen here man I just have myself a rough day this is not o'clock in the morning.

I just have myself a rough day and I really like tears in Katy Perry right now when I can. Turns out on the country format. You can't really fit Katy Perry in many places risky.

She put out a single, not too long ago. It's not good that's we got to get to the house. Always talk about cats in the line King and anything else I want to go find out how the lion King actually did at the box office this weekend and I'm to break down exactly what it did as much as you are disappointed in the movie there was many many people who were not disappointed is exactly what I expected it would be with, lowered expectation patients were low yet so there's plenty people, who apparently enjoyed it when I go over the buckets of money. The Disney has brought in over a three day stretcher one movie ticket to the house next
