[SPEAKER_03]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.

[SPEAKER_01]: I had to get it again, and now he'll be here quietly with a start to show.

[SPEAKER_03]: T.M.O.S.

[SPEAKER_03]: Classic Friday flashback.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, early for today, moments before airtime.

[SPEAKER_03]: What's yes?

[SPEAKER_03]: Moments before airtime, I was informed by my wife.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god, there's a bird in the house.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mrs. O'Mara was walking our Boston Terrier Winslow.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And a stupid chickady came flying in.

[SPEAKER_03]: And in the little sun porch area of the house, we have lots of windows.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, the chickady is not able to fly back.

[SPEAKER_03]: Help the people.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: About the bed.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's a giant, I don't know what they call the windows that are like, crescent-shaped.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not a bay window as much as it's a window.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a window above another window sort of.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, a window above another window.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's a big one.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's a great one.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it's a great one.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you went bird shopping, but we're doing a lost in America then.

[SPEAKER_03]: You don't know the movie.

[SPEAKER_03]: You're not gonna get it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, $22 for a chickity, a great one.

[SPEAKER_03]: So anyway, you lost.

[SPEAKER_03]: the chick at a egg.

[SPEAKER_03]: So here it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so very conservatively here.

[SPEAKER_03]: $2 for a chick at a lot.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to get my brother-in-law to watch lost in America.

[SPEAKER_03]: The old movie that still holds up where they drop out of society and then she loses all their money.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's very funny.

[SPEAKER_03]: So as soon as Carlos says that to me, I'm upstairs in the loft.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the law, which always manages to stay cool, comfortable, 89 degrees, no matter what the weather is outside.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's no like little ray caverns.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's always one temperature.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's the same temperature, and now consistently smells like a window for it all the time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Happy happy going crazy, happy birthday, baby.

[SPEAKER_03]: So she says this to me.

[SPEAKER_03]: I immediately go into the bathroom and grab a towel because my method of securing a bird is to throw a towel on it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the best birds having none of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we have a cheap little recliner cloth chair where this room is.

[SPEAKER_03]: We've jammed a TV in there in our little tiny house and it rocks back and forth.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not skilled to get there.

[SPEAKER_03]: So can you get on that chair and throw the towel on the bird?

[SPEAKER_03]: So Carla is trying to place

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the towel.

[SPEAKER_03]: I said, no, you're not going to be able to play.

[SPEAKER_03]: Don't catch it.

[SPEAKER_03]: The bird's not going to go here, put that over my head, so I can't see.

[SPEAKER_03]: How big of a towel is it?

[SPEAKER_03]: It's a battle.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so everybody said do it.

[SPEAKER_03]: So Carla, a tip says, no, Carla, you have to toss it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And as she tries to toss it, she loses her balance in my wife.

[SPEAKER_03]: who's extremely physically fit is going down.

[SPEAKER_03]: She is going down and she's coming right towards me.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then of course, who's fault is it?

[SPEAKER_03]: It's me because I was being impatient.

[SPEAKER_03]: I said, let's be impatient.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was trying to get you the bird.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we just leave the door open for the bird to escape.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I come up and start doing the show halfway through the show.

[SPEAKER_03]: She informs me the bird, you know, the idiot bird decided that it would stop banging its little bird brain up

[SPEAKER_03]: I literally out the door that we, it literally was going.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was horrible.

[SPEAKER_03]: I hate this story.

[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm sitting there, and I'm watching this, and the bird's going.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_03]: The bird's going, I'm picking.

[SPEAKER_03]: I flew into a door, and I just was enjoying my freedom in Maine.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not bad enough.

[SPEAKER_03]: I have to worry about Eagles and Ospreys and all these things.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm where I just need.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just was looking for seed.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was looking for seeds, but I can't.

[SPEAKER_03]: This man's throwing this, but I can't get out of my gut.

[SPEAKER_02]: and it finally flew out to do it.

[SPEAKER_02]: You might, you have two dogs.

[SPEAKER_03]: How are they handling the fact that there's a burn in your house?

[SPEAKER_03]: We remove them from that's their room.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the room.

[SPEAKER_03]: Another room that smells great.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's where the dogs hang out.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: All day long for 24 hours a day, the dogs go, to tiny little dogs that sound like this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, all day long doing this and then the bird flew out so it's a success success You know, I think the bird might be brain damage, but it doesn't matter because there's not that much brain anyone But I know you're right.

[SPEAKER_04]: You're right about the cat

[SPEAKER_03]: uh... the cat has been named uh... we have decided on a name for the cat thank you for your submissions uh... that uh... the the leader was buzz uh... i wasn't going to name the cat buzz but thank you for uh... for that in mike alston and rj ds for some reason uh... that was named and this is my cat and his favorite flavor of ice cream is vanilla

[SPEAKER_03]: This cat, uh, we really, I really love to name things as you know.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love that names.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love giving people names.

[SPEAKER_03]: I racked my brain.

[SPEAKER_03]: I did the old thing I did with Winslow.

[SPEAKER_03]: I looked up famous manners, people from the state of Maine.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's a, that's a, a very, very unrewarding task.

[SPEAKER_03]: There are a lot of people up here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Unleaving your thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm serious.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, boy, girl, we never, we never found them.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a boy.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's a boy, a lot of people didn't know that.

[SPEAKER_03]: So there were a lot of female names, too.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Tina, what's that?

[SPEAKER_04]: What's that?

[SPEAKER_04]: Tina, well, you could have called, oh, you can still can.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yo, ho, yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, no.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is my cat timbre.

[SPEAKER_03]: Boy, he's a lumberian would be great.

[SPEAKER_03]: Timbers a good cat in Timbers.

[SPEAKER_02]: Timbers when you come.

[SPEAKER_02]: Timber.

[SPEAKER_02]: Timber.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's so few people that are famous for Maine, you know?

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, these are names.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really a lame state.

[SPEAKER_03]: I vote.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you see, you get, you ask for a famous man as you get a lot of pictures of Patrick Dempsey.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I'll take you down.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's Anna Kendrick.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, Lister.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but but we're talking about two people.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean scientifically 150th of all celebrities should come from Maine

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, the famous author is a he's a known maner.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, which is great, but I mean everybody should have an author the three that I really discern Yes, most famous entertainment people from Maine show this Patrick Demsey and a Kendrick.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, and Judd Nelson

[SPEAKER_02]: Judd Nelson, well, and then he had a three, he had a great year in 1986, he made it there.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is what I, and maybe maybe I should know more about it, and I'm sorry for being so ignorant.

[SPEAKER_04]: The idea that Maine is a beautiful state.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's gorgeous.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a gorgeous place to play.

[SPEAKER_04]: The problem I have is why why is the population fleeing Maine and why do they have a bill in place where if you go to Maine They'll give you what is it $10,000 in tax incentives just as they're industry They've lost they've lost industry up here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're not jobs up here.

[SPEAKER_03]: What's that?

[SPEAKER_03]: What was the industry?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you had paper time you you had a

[SPEAKER_03]: pine you had paper mills and and and you know saw mills that type of thing was a big deal in main but i mean uh it's my it's lb tourism can't sustain ll being a wonderful company up here uh uh i'm trying to think of it might be vick for the drumstick maker that was up here oh they may still be uh they may come you missed two two main celebrities that i'm surprised to not pop up

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and John O'Hirlie.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, John O'Hirlie.

[SPEAKER_03]: That when I saw John O'Hirlie, you know, I'm John O'Hirlie.

[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to the dog show.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's what he does now.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's really, you might you're right though.

[SPEAKER_02]: It brought up 10 celebrities.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I went down to like, click for more.

[SPEAKER_02]: And the only option he gives me is show less.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's why there's nobody stunned.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that a few people.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's basically the population.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think it is as far as the arts and literature.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got your Stephen King.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you got Henry Wadsworth long fellow.

[SPEAKER_03]: I want to hear about my long fellow.

[SPEAKER_03]: Andrew Wyatt the painter, E.B.

[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't write it up with it.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was an Earl Grey.

[SPEAKER_03]: Go with Timber.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I didn't want to go with Smokey because we had a family cat named Smokey.

[SPEAKER_03]: Who was also Grey.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, man.

[SPEAKER_03]: Grey.

[SPEAKER_02]: You need to clean out my litter box.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so right now it's all right.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's subject to change.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't take delivery on the cat until like four or all because this cat is still on the teeth.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know how about Cameron Cameron Gray.

[SPEAKER_03]: You go.

[SPEAKER_02]: Cameron the cat.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cameron the cats pretty good.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's really good.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: No one else needs to know that, but Cameron.

[SPEAKER_03]: John Pop and Litty and all that crap.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_03]: John Pop's labor saving cart.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I can name him after somebody that went to work at the NRA.

[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I can't happen.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, just can't let that happen.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right, they look, your career takes you where it takes you.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to blame those.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[SPEAKER_02]: I wonder, who are there other famous people named Gray?

[SPEAKER_02]: We have Earl, Earl Gray.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jennifer Gray.

[SPEAKER_04]: Jennifer Gray, but that's a Jennifer is technically a girl's name.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you can do what you can do this.

[SPEAKER_04]: Mike, you can, you can make a name that's for a girl work for a guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: How about Zane Gray?

[SPEAKER_03]: Zane Gray.

[SPEAKER_02]: Zane is a great name.

[SPEAKER_02]: Zane with that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Zane Gray.

[SPEAKER_03]: Gray guy?

[SPEAKER_03]: Zane might be there.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Say I've already made more promise with you guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I did in the car.

[SPEAKER_03]: Driving back from my house with the other day.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to take a break.

[SPEAKER_02]: TEMOS classic.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is not political.

[SPEAKER_03]: This, but this is a current event subject that I'm watching.

[SPEAKER_03]: Real Sports last night and this message goes out to Gary Betman, commissioner of the NHL, get on board with concussion protocol.

[SPEAKER_03]: You dig.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Is he just turning a total blind eye to it?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And this is then these guys it doesn't matter what sport you play these guys are suffering the same injuries This is sport my kid is playing okay, and and I don't want hit I don't want Mrs. Omera to freak out and pull him out of hockey and when you see Some of the collisions that are on the ice in the NHL and you better go to the bottles Yeah, you can stack these collisions up

[SPEAKER_03]: with any collision in the NFL and they are they're equal to if not worse based on head on head collisions and I have to say this I have to walk the walk and I for years I have never said this but if you need to remove fighting from the uh... what no

[SPEAKER_04]: That is at the heart of the game.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's not the heart of the game.

[SPEAKER_03]: Heart of the game is scoring goals.

[SPEAKER_04]: But the no, the fight is the, oh, that is.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, people, that's why you have an enforcer.

[SPEAKER_04]: You taught me that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but the fact is that it's.

[SPEAKER_03]: brain injury and it is a sport.

[SPEAKER_02]: But they can build equipment.

[SPEAKER_03]: Don't do this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Don't please.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Please.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really being serious.

[SPEAKER_03]: First off.

[SPEAKER_03]: But they can build equipment.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mike.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mike.

[SPEAKER_03]: To let them absorb the blows to that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, you do not remember called helmets.

[SPEAKER_02]: Do you remember at WJFK we had a helmet.

[SPEAKER_02]: And we took turns putting it on and hitting each other on the head.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it still affects your balance.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're all wearing helmets when they get hit.

[SPEAKER_03]: I have a solution, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: The husband involved calling Carrie?

[SPEAKER_04]: No.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: The hockey.

[SPEAKER_04]: The hockey gloves, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: Globs.

[SPEAKER_04]: The gloves.

[SPEAKER_04]: Globs.

[SPEAKER_04]: As soon as the enforcers are about to fight, they give them the cartoon one.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, like Bob Hope, that you see a net security event.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's how they fight.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I want to test.

[SPEAKER_02]: On skates.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like who's here?

[SPEAKER_02]: Sugar Ray Leonard, isn't he?

[SPEAKER_04]: Wild.

[SPEAKER_03]: The weights on the cartoon-sized gloves is gonna bring me Oscar, you know, and Rob along for the sports duck station.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sam Rogers.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can't why?

[SPEAKER_03]: What?

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'll break you news, Mike.

[SPEAKER_04]: Break the news.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: A big shout out to Listener Witton, who's wife was here yesterday visiting.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hello.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hi.

[SPEAKER_04]: I said, where's Mike?

[SPEAKER_04]: I said, Mike was employed, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's right on.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I don't know, South.

[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, they've got to be aware of all contacts sports that these young men are getting hurt and might be affected.

[SPEAKER_02]: Why is the NHL, you know?

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I believe it's really interesting.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like what the NFL did first.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's how they played it first.

[SPEAKER_03]: And they're just behind the curve on this.

[SPEAKER_03]: And they're denied their indenial about it.

[SPEAKER_03]: But you look at the head.

[SPEAKER_04]: can collision who's that can't be asked from the pens that stayed out forever for a super cross yeah that guy number one people save some for dad now people were questioning why everything okay just check hop but no I remember when Sidney Crosby made a big deal and for almost a year he was out the whole season

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, the thing about concussion protocol and I learned this from watching a little of this documentary last night is that the recovery process is almost as important as you know preventing these injuries if they're going to happen inevitably now the fact is there it is I said it again.

[SPEAKER_03]: when you get a guy that has a head on head collision or shoulder to head or bangs is head against the boards.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's extremely important to take him out of the game and give him the proper amount of recovery time.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the initial sign.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it has to be done right away, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: That's that it helps the situation.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I just don't want to see

[SPEAKER_03]: based on our diversions that we like, like football and hockey, any of these sports, if we have the science and we have the knowledge that this is eventually going to make a 40-year-old man put a shotgun in his mouth and pull the trigger.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think we have to do well everything we can as human beings.

[SPEAKER_03]: In 2018, we've got

[SPEAKER_03]: God, we got to get our you like the movie because you were with this isn't gladiator man.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I mean I ask you a serious question because you are the one that has been and I am serious about a hockey enthusiast your entire life you understand the game you understand the fact but here's I probably got a concussion myself back in high school when I had my head down and I hit probably

[SPEAKER_03]: one of the biggest guys in the Connecticut Valley conference.

[SPEAKER_03]: I remember his last name was Kennedy and he was high school student.

[SPEAKER_03]: He was using him and head down and I went down and you know how you lose your breath that you fall and get your back.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was maybe a concussion.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was just I was out for a little bit and then woke up and these guys it happens multiple times during

[SPEAKER_03]: But you talk about, you know, maybe if we eliminate fighting, that would be a step.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it would.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's, but it's just head blows.

[SPEAKER_03]: You're, you're getting blows to the head when you're like boxing.

[SPEAKER_02]: But isn't the game based on, I mean, just the fact that you're on skates and you're on ice and you're fighting for the same little disc, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to, you're

[SPEAKER_02]: As in fuck you Oscar, no, you've done it.

[SPEAKER_03]: You've never ever to do it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Guys still get concussions right in the NFL.

[SPEAKER_03]: Guys will still get concussions in the NHL.

[SPEAKER_03]: You just rewee eliminate.

[SPEAKER_03]: the chances of this happening is frequently minimized.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, yeah, you minimally try to look to that.

[SPEAKER_03]: And also, then you're also going to do that if the commissioner of the NHL is denying that it ever has technology and science will get us there.

[SPEAKER_04]: I hope so.

[SPEAKER_04]: But if you look at your modern, I think Jerry McWyer was on for some reason.

[SPEAKER_04]: I thought Tom Cruise had died for a day because every Tom Cruise Christmas movie was on AMC for some reason.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, oh my gosh, because he's got a movie coming out.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's all I was, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: Right, that's what I'm talking about.

[SPEAKER_04]: The Jerry McGuire glamorizes, essentially that concussion protocol, not the protocol, but the concussion, because at the end of that movie, you have Cuba good in junior sitting there laying down, getting knocked out, and then getting up and dancing.

[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And going back into the game.

[SPEAKER_04]: And then getting a multi-million dollar contract.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Out at the end of that

[SPEAKER_03]: science and knowledge and all of these things change the way we look at our sports and everything else in life and I really really think that I was stunned that they especially with the big daddy league, the NHL, the NFL, accepting the reality of this traumatic brain injury.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we don't know, you know, well, they're obviously using the same playbook because it took the NFL for ever to do it.

[SPEAKER_02]: They took they made a major motion picture that I still feel that somehow the NFL quashed because we all saw it in a theater, but then it was gone.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no one talked about it.

[SPEAKER_04]: They're still, look, they're still an issue.

[SPEAKER_04]: They're still working on it.

[SPEAKER_04]: At least there's a protocol in the NFL.

[SPEAKER_04]: If you look, if you watch modern day soccer, Premier League soccer, and I know this is, you know, not

[SPEAKER_03]: But if you want some of them, they also have head injury.

[SPEAKER_04]: They have some of the players now wear helmets.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like saw helmets because the heading of the soccer ball has been known to cause it or the goal is to bump in heads.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it's so simple when you think about this.

[SPEAKER_03]: And look, it's great that we have diversions.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's great that we love sports.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oops, I caught myself, but you have to realize that's another one that I'm going to have a nervous break.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, my God, you're doing great.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got this.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got this with traumatic brain injury.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't need it in these sports to enjoy it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's the plan I want.

[SPEAKER_03]: And if I'm saying that, a guy that for years and years said I like old school, I hate the people that bitch about fighting in the NHL, if I can come around on that, you can come around on that as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'd like to enjoy sports with the knowledge that these guys at the end of their career are not going to be in a situation where their neurons are so messed up that they end up doing damage to themselves or they just die in general it's terrible and you take it one step further you don't need that as the example being said for the youth of today that that's what they need to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: This comes down to one word, this comes down to empathy.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is just empathizing with our fellow human beings and enjoying their athletic prowess and enjoying the fact, he still have a real tough hit out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can still check guys off the puck.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can do so much, and I know the sport, but when I've got a four year old who is starting out and playing the sport, I don't wanna have him in a situation that if we can avoid injuries to his brain,

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's not, and then by the way, the NFL is doing this and little league football is doing a lot of parents that aren't having their kids play by soccer now.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how the chips are going to fall with Mrs. O'Maro with this when she finds out about the fact that this particular sport can cause brain injury as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I just wanted to say that

[SPEAKER_04]: start hitting themselves.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're not hitting.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I saw some.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's fine for a couple of years off.

[SPEAKER_02]: I saw some pretty wicked hits and some bad injuries of, you know, at the varsity high school football level.

[SPEAKER_02]: Solutions.
