Hello, Michael.

0:01.0

How are you feeling today? How old? Good. Pretty good. Losing the boys. Get that thing about 25, 30 games in where your voice starts to go a little bit. But other than that, pretty good. You should get an endorsement with Alijans company. You guys sell everything. I'm just listening to it. You actually sell the temperature. That's really amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, listen, when you're...

0:22.0

I have a good sales staff.

0:22.9

They go out and sell the temperature.

0:24.2

Oh, well, their hands are tied a little bit right now, but we'll get into that later. Speaking of selling things, do you guys do promos for the Toucher and Rich show anymore during Saltix games? No, we haven't done one, no. I noticed that. Well, thank God we're on the air. I was actually watching the scroll on NBC Sports Fawson the other day. It was like, Inside Edition coming on. Felger and Madge, your favorite radio show. You used to do the touch on which program was Scala. It was magic. And there was like nothing. Well, it's fun because not only does being on TV take away radio listeners that make our income, we don't get promoted. That's fun. But other than that. For the numbers here in the morning. Well, you know, just listen, just throw in, just throw in a couple, you know, shout-outs. I could give a rat's ass what the numbers in the morning are on TV. I want to put ears on the radio, baby. All right. I'll work on that. Well, that's, we used to have one that we read all the time.

1:14.5

I know. on that.

1:29.0

We used to have one that we read all the time. I know. I know. Then you got the management. I know. Well, check that out. Please, that would be good. Speaking of your own network, I was watching something last night. And they had a question I found kind of interesting, and I want to get your opinion on it. So Giannis de Nicopo is unbelievable.

1:47.0

And I was telling John this yesterday, is that he's got that thing that I think only LeBron James and the NBA has. And that is the ability to, you can't stop him. When he speeds up and comes at you, there's nothing you can do. And he's so young. And I think you might have even said on the broadcast in three years, it's his league.

1:49.6

Today is his 24th birthday. Yeah, I mean, that's absurd how good he already is.

1:52.0

So if you had to choose right now a player for the team, would you choose Kyrie Irving or Giannis de Nacompo?

2:17.8

This is kind of like questions with Brandon. Yeah, dumbass. I'd not to take either of the compo because of his size. Yeah. Now, do you think that he is somebody? I mean, his size is unbelievable, but do you... I think it's his league as soon as LeBron steps aside. That's how good I think he'll be the number one player in the league from the time he's about 25 to 26 until he's about 31. Just imagine if he could knock down a jumper. Well, you know, there was a play. I wish we could call up these plays instantaneously so those folks who are watching on TV could hear it. There was a play I saw the other night with him, where somebody made a steel at the top of the key, and they threw a pass to him, and he got the pass at half court. And one step over half court when the ball got to him, he dribbled the ball once and dumped it and didn't travel. That was from a few games ago, right? That wasn't his last one. Yeah, I saw that.

2:51.5

That was crazy.

2:52.6

Yeah.

2:53.0

Crazy.

2:53.3

There's nobody else in the league who can do that.

2:54.7

What do you think he would be like with a good coach? What do I think he'd be like with a good? I don't think Jason kids are bad? Yeah, I don't think Jason kid's a good coach. Oh. Well, I don't have much opinion one way or the other on Jason.

3:07.6

I think he's doing okay.

3:09.3

I think his development has been pretty good so far. You know, I mean, if he plays for Brad, it's a whole new world. But it plays for Pop, it's a whole new world. But, you know, this Brad and this pop, and if I thought about it hard enough, probably one other guy, and then there's a drop off to kind of the rest of the rest. Van Gundy. Yeah, yeah. I like him. Yeah. Well, what he's done with just drumming and his free throws is impressive. Yeah. Again, I know people think I'm crazy. I think Detroit's going to be a major factor at the end of the year. No, no, no, that's no question. As I said, that's the only team I've seen the Celtics have no answers for.

3:43.0

They struggled a little bit since the Celtics game, actually.

3:45.2

Yeah, you guys are going way over. Well, at least against the Celtics, it's a matchup that's tough. Well, I mean, we leave after this game with Dallas tonight. We go to San Antonio and then play in Detroit.

3:55.5

And those will be two real good tests for this team.

3:58.4

Those are probably the two toughest road games have had,
