"Think it's unfair because Mac Jones doesn't have any offensive weapons. But he didn't have any last year and he had the best rookie season probably. Yeah. Tua has two unbelievable weapons. That actually too fast for his arm. Yes, they are. And then Jalen hurts as a talented roster as well. So we're just taking all of that out of the equation. Todd, quarterback, you're going to take first recency bias. I'm going to go with Jalen hurts. All right. And then second, tua. All right? See, no Connor, patriots apologist. I'm going to go with actually take two a last because of his injury history. Then I would take mccorkle. I would have him at second. But I would take Jalen hurts, not because of necessarily recency bias. Some offers a little more. Marv. I am going off a recency bias, and I'm going to say Jalen hurts first. To a second Mac third. Paul. I'm going to go to alas for the same thing. The injury and he doesn't seem to be, I think, I don't think it's going to get much better. Jalen, I think they're all three B level passers. So based off them never being great passers hurts is a dangerous runner. I would take that. It's a necessary weapon. Yeah, I would take hurts, it feels like it doesn't matter what my roster is going to be like. I can tap into those abilities. He's better at doing more things than the other quarterbacks are. Mccorkle can't run to a dozen run that much. It'll extend a player to, but Mac would probably be the better passer here, but yeah, I would go, I'd go Jalen, then Mac and then to yep. Mac Jones rookie year stats, he had 3800 yards, 60 8% passer, 22 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Those are pretty high end for rookie. On an average team. Yes. And they made the playoffs. I don't know if he got enough credit for what they did. But I tried to watch the Steelers of the Patriots. I was bored. And it's rare when I watch a football game and I go, this is not fun. Not fun.

"Ends October 10th back with Alex barth of 98 5 the sports hub and you can follow them on Twitter at real Alex barth, apparently doesn't know how to center himself on his camera as we're doing. Podcast. Are you with us? Yeah. Okay. You could move over to your right just to see, I get because there's this. I don't have like a perfect way to balance everything here. Way to prep for this podcast, I appreciate it, Alex. You come through for us all the time, you're awesome. All right, let's spend some time as we wrap it up on the Tampa Bay Rays and the things that the Red Sox is going to have to do. First of all, they're starting pitching is going to have to control the top 5 batters in their order which figure to be. Randy, rosarina, playing left field, wander Franco, the super sensation rookie that was brought up in mid season and he hasn't disappointed. He's their shortstop. DH Nelson Cruz, who has experience up the wazoo. This will not be in a bigger than life situation for him batting third. Batting fourth cleanup is third baseman yandy Diaz and batting 5th, second baseman likely to be batting 5th Brandon Lau with a lot of pop. He had three homers in a game I believe recently against the New York Yankees a blowout win as the Tampa Bay Rays clinched a hundred win season in the best record in the American League. That's one thing. And the other thing is their rotation. The Red Sox are going to face Shane mcclanahan in game number one. And he it seems like we say this every year, Alex barth, about Tampa Bay pictures. He had a breakout year as a young picture in the ray's rotation. He's a left hander he had a ten and 6 record this past year, 3.43 ERA. He starts game one a little more than a year after he became the first picture in MLB history to debut. Make his debut in the postseason. He posted a 3.01 ERA with 99 strikeouts over the last three months of the season. And, you know, he is a guy that is really, I think in a try and give Tampa Bay a boost right out of the gate. Yeah, I mean, I think they've got a bank on him because without glass now. And we talked about this a while ago, like, I thought Tampa was out of it without glass now, because I wasn't a huge fan of their pitching rotation now. Mcclanahan's come on and sometimes it's hard to project with rookies right and he's obviously been that guy. So he checks a box, but Ryan Yarborough struggled Michael walker's struggle. So if you can, if you're the Red Sox, and this is obviously easier said than done. If you can take a game started by mcclanahan, you really put the raisin corner. It's not impossible for the Red Sox to win it if they lose game one. But it kind of becomes tough for the race to win it, right? If they lose it because then they're pitching potentially against totally blown up. So mcclanahan is a pivotal player in this series. I don't have a splits in front of the Red Sox when it pulls up right now because I'm actually curious, but I think this first game is going to tell us a lot..

Football is adjusted and we do have a guy that steps in there that his best spent best spot with all of his position tracks on the offensive his best ball at the bay march spot which is right guard. And of course you can tell. I'm talking myself into it because This was a unfortunate Working real hard yet. I'm still the guy that won't he's going to be tested right up until game time and maybe we can get a couple of negative tests out of it. So you know. I'm always looking for that thrown in there somewhere. Do you ask well if you could test two negatives if he can get two negatives over the next couple days then he could play. Don't hold out for that. Don't hold out for that. Had one do it since training camp. But if we get to baghdad's he's doing all the right things and As as a lot better as to count his cell count but some of the things. I do to do that but michael. I'm worried about some serious. What are you doing back. I will tell you one thing so you know i. I've always tried to help you as we move long. 'cause you have helped me so happy when i need right now but now. This guy's crafty he. No we know we know that Feather need help. They don't take this stuff up. Well we need the jazz this thing get more cowboy here and get more involve what he's up to something. He's trying to do the wrong thing the right way. I'm not going to let him. That's why i came to stop it right here at the game going to let it get into your michael urban mystic. Wherever you get your cannot get into question here. Who is that. That would be stephen speech. Every fate listen all jerry's this jerry you you spend a lot of money. You spend a lot of money jerry. Last time i checked. I see that running. Back ezekiel elliott. He's big cd lamb. Big time big. Time amari cooper big tom. That prescott is back finally got that contract off saying is understand. How good that. Martin is but based on the pieces that you put around these guys we should it be overly concerned about zack martin. Or anyone play on dallas cowboys office. Is that correct sir. Told now he'll pat. He must have been listening to me. Talk to my guys that's right. I told him isn't it. Hey stuff when it's not there by. I've watched him. why game. okay okay. They needed some help and they brought them. They brought the man over Nobody nobody nobody understands Some of the things about the cowboys in there. They must be slipping a little bit. They need some uptakes. Michael put some cowboys on you know how to do. We needed some america's team in our life. Just fix it is. This is this is gonna ask the question. Why don't you ask him about that defense. Could you do that. What no listen. I i say jerry. Listen and i did. I just told him. I believe this defense is going to be in a whole new place when we talk about what we saw last year compared to what we saw what we will see. The crux of defenses about couldn't activity and communication and dan. Quinn has been doing a great job with those guys. Can you speak to the defense and.

"Could definitely say dan. I don't know what it's like the smell and otherwise breath get them. But you got one more here for two years. I said the gap between trevor lawrence and dustin fields wasn't what everyone was making it out to be whether it up i take. Nfl live. i screamed at like stephen. A smith and poked pooped on. It may be too early to say. I was right but i was reading. You know what everybody's been. Pooping on me for two years y'all been poop in on adjusted fills party but i am here to say more meatloaf mom because it's showing and they're gonna be like off. Well it's only two games boy wait. That's a lie coming out of high school. One eight one beat on a top. Espn three hundred. Then you get to college. The only difference between these news is that dabo. Sweeney was smart enough to put trevor lawrence on the team and make him the starting quarterback over kelly bryant and kirby smart was not smart enough to justify fills over jake from when we watch these news in college. You could see the talent. And it's only two games but when you're watching trevor lawrence compared to justice field. I don't sit there and go. Wow look at this transcendent talent and look this dude. Who belong to be eleven. That's not the way it works. It's closer than folks state. This whole draft is closer to folks state. And i don't necessarily know. Trevor lawrence ends up being a star or jeff or feels ends up being star. But i know it won't be because trevor lawrence is way more talented. Okay all right. Let's bring everybody back in and grossart with you on this one because look trevor. Lawrence is in a rough situation. Tested fields is in a great one. But maybe it's a little bit better if they switch teams. Do you think that lawrence would be better position for long term success in the. Nfl is a good question. I think long term. We can really know. I think maybe short-term because i think the bears have a better defense this year than than jacksonville but long term. I think there are legitimate questions about both coaching situations right. I mean we don't know the security of the coaching staff in chicago. They could be on thin ice hot. See whatever you wanna call it so. We don't know how that plays out for.

"Morning having practiced with cameras to start all week and find out. He's not going to be able to play the game that that level of i don't want to i mean unreliability and it's not a comment on the player but my point is like you can't be sure you're going to have it. That has to work in the favour of the other guy. If it's a close competition. So i think the fact. That cam was away this week. Plays into this in ways that maybe not everybody wants to talk about but are going to be a factor in decision making for the patriots and other teams all year. Quick push back on that because ryan tannehill who people say it's vaccinated. He's out for ten days as well and will migrate. Bowl is a coach who is out for as well. So there are breakthrough cases as well. That people need to understand that. Even though when you're making these decisions you may say well. This player vaccinated or not. But you don't know especially with with with but you don't know who's going to be available or not available and so i think when it comes to bill belichick and decide who's going to be the starting quarterback people talk about availability shore. But it's also dependability. Will be dependable. And i think that cam newton is dependable. It's proven over a decade. It just shows you how tight this quarterback battle seems rc. You talked about in your as we talked about this before the show. You talked about this being a good opportunity but a hard opportunity. This quarterback situation. What did you mean by that. Well what i mean by that. Is this a good opportunity for for. Bill belichick one. Because he's damn bill belichick he can do. What the hell he wants to do. Like we sit up here in in ne- goes talking about who running upstairs. I in fact newton. Don't warm more money. none of that junk matters. What matters is bill. Belichick thanksgiving this team. The best opportunity to win and i didn't go to practice right. I'm a patriot. I don't have one of those those red coats that you get when you name goes about her and all that stuff. Tom brady ain't touchdowns. I didn't get sex and so i don't have that inside. Look all i know is what i see in the game when you watch the game. You see that cam. Newton is very capable of running this offense and so is mag jones and so this allows bill belichick to make the best decision for his team. The one thing i know is this if you go to mack jones early. It's hard to go away from him if he doesn't play well. That's not the same thing with cam. Newton cam newton has shown that he can do this cam. Newton has shown leadership. I'm bill belichick. I start cam. Newton knowing that i have a very dependable associates and i guess available as dan graziano says mac jones behind cam newton. Not a.

Third time stanton's homered in three consecutive games against yankees tack on another to take a two lead early top third. Joey gallo of bomb right centerfield his thirtieth of the year yankees up six to nothing and they are feeling it. Gallo at member of the yankees ninth-inning here. We go aaron judge as fought back to tie it at six. He's the plate with a runner on third and judge coming through fighting off cutter into right field yankees back on top seven to six. Then we take you to the bottom of the night. Aroldis chapman had his struggles. This season going for the save against matt olsen gets into the ground out the second and new york seals the victory seven six. It's twelve in a row for the bombers and they are peaking at just the right time and again twelve in a row is the yankees longest win streak since they won thirteen straight back in one thousand nine hundred sixty one. That team won the world series and over the last hundred years. This is the yankees ninth win straight of twelve plus games. They reached the world series in seven of the previous eight seasons winning at all five times so we go from baseball to football and it is one of the big story lines in training. Camp cam newton.

"With Jack on a M Tampa Bay. Just put some of that glory days. Food in my mouth. Yeah, You did. What you to that new segment. It's called throwback with Jack, where we take a look back in the past, and I think it's very appropriate considering the Tampa Bay Lightning who are just so so good. Playing tonight to try to go up three to nothing in their first playoff series this year to try to think back to the origins of the Lightning, Jack Yeah, I remember. Well again is Phil Esposito that brought a mayor and got him here and got Jeff Vinik interested in it, And that's how it happened. But A lot of folks were thinking, you know, Hockey is never gonna make it in the Tampa Bay area or anywhere in Florida because we don't spend time ice skating. You don't have ice rings around and it's just not gonna be popular here. And obviously we were a little bit wrong about that. But at the time, uh, the area where Emily Arena is now they call Channel side and all that area. They were just a few old Um, where houses and most of them were abandoned warehouses, bunch of big concrete buildings down there 12 story buildings and that was it and you could barely drive through there. And obviously it's changed pretty considerably, but That ultimately led to the family right now forgotten what it was called A purse, but in a couple of things is like Thunderdome at one point Palace, the ice Palace malice that was first concert I ever went to Backstreet Boys at the Ice Palace. Really? Yeah. It was the same Pete Times Forum at one point. Yeah. Safety Times Forum, and that was how they sold him on that on getting that was The fact that she could have concerts and do a lot of other things there. Um, And of course, there was no interest in the N B A at that time here. It's amazing to think we got in NHL team before we got an MBA team. Yeah, well, we still don't have an NBA team we had. Most people aren't even aware that the Toronto The Raptor Raptor played their home games here. For what is it too much? Three months longer than that, actually, and they're done now the regular season just ended. They didn't make the playoffs. But if they would have made the playoffs, they would've had playoff games, basketball playoff games and Amalie never. So I didn't even know they were playing here. It Emily Really, I never saw in the paper anything these stories about the Raptor local team. We never announced any scores on here here because I didn't know they're here. Think about it. We had the Raptors here. We have the Blue Jays here still and so much Jason here until June for S so that's two Toronto teams that we've claimed as our own for a little bit. Yeah, there had enough to Buffalo. After that. I don't know why they're doing that. But for Phil Esposito have the foresight to look at this area and look at the market and say hockey will work here and like you said, I'm sure at the time people scratching their heads, saying it's Florida. It's not gonna work here to be crazy. She'll never happened. Did it Not only not only didn't work, Jack, they're amazing that the best organization only in hockey, maybe in all of sports. Jeff Vinik is by far Stoner in sports, not just for the team, but for the community. What he's done for the community and again. He's the reason we have all these tall buildings. Everything happening down there and again, they want to call it. Water Street. That's nonsense. It's Vinick Bill, anyway, you look at it. It's Vinick Ville. But I mean talking about coming here in 1970 when there was one tall building the old exchange bank building and Again down in that area. Nobody ever went there. That was kind of down behind the dam Shandy and our old TV and radio station Wofl and W F L a TV and you No way on down there, but Nobody ever went down there. That was just totally ignored. And now it's booming. And now all the kids were playing hockey. The lightning with their community effort to get the kids involved, really a great job, And that is a throwback Thursday. Look back with Jack Harris, coming up in just a little bit will catch up with the stress. We haven't talked with them in a while. They have something really cool.

Thanks for joining us on a M. Tampa Bay, and this is a huge, huge event for visit Tampa Bay and for our Tourism and everything obviously would be so much better, but one for the pandemic, but Even given the exposure we're going to get because of this thing is huge. Well, good morning and thank you, as always, for having beyond you know, it's huge for all of us. Even in spite of the pandemic, you know, I think most American cities that they could they would change places with us in a heartbeat. Whatever whatever it produces, it's going to be more than what we had. And so the hospitality industry is awfully optimistic. You know the headlines that are being written the media exposure we're getting We show so well, things are going so well. I think there's a great way to balance the economy and economic impact with public safety, health and welfare, and I think we're going about it the right way. Oh, yeah, undoubtedly. And what about hotel occupancy game week Because normally that's a huge thing, but obviously because of the pandemic It's been impacted. Yeah, you know, back in 2000 and nine, which is well, also in unusual year because of the recession, hotel occupancy was a little higher than 86%. We came into this week at about 53%. But all indications are that occupancy is picking up so the good thing is we have data that we can compare how we perform. You know, this year versus last year and then versus our prior Super Bowl. Santiago. I'm picking up my friend at the airport tomorrow. So should I expect some super packed lines? How is traffic going there? You know, I think the airports such does such a great job preparing, you know, it's one of the best in the country, even when it's busy. It isn't so I would expect that things are going toe Flo very, very smoothly. I know they have a plan for you know, larger incoming crowds closer to Game day and then obviously, Monday is usually the busiest day for an airport of the whole city, so I would expect that you'll be fine. Either way. And I know they're going to take, you know lots of lots of care of people coming in and leaving so they're fantastic out there. I am sure it's gonna be fine, Awesome. Santiago, one of the things we've been hearing a lot about regarding With ties to the Super Bowl. 55 is the NFL and its involvement in fighting human trafficking. What's the deal on that? Well, you know, our county has a task force that was set up. You know, some some months ago. And they've done a fantastic job of bringing together a law enforcement survivors. All of the organizations that really are doing a yeoman's job. Preventing human trafficking. And you know what I found. I'm on that task force. And you know, we've had our agency support the marketing efforts that you're seeing all around town and the Super Bowl embraced the Hillsborough, Connie. Task force to be the task force to work with him during the Super Bowl, and you know it's the Super Bowl helps you, you know, highlight the issue, but it's something we don't want to tolerate in this community any day, not not just Super Bowls. So I can tell you the campaigns will live on. We will continue to combat that issue and again, it's It's the spirit in the attitude of this community that we're not gonna buy it. You know, we're not going to tolerate it, and so Really, really proud to have been engaged in the campaign that you're seeing all around town now that will live on and we're going to stay on it. And we have so many opportunities to highlight that problem, because, as you know, we've got WrestleMania right down the road and so many other big events conventions, But it's an everyday problem. It's not Not a problem associated Really, with anyone big event. It's an everyday problem. We have to be aware of. Well, what are some of the big events along with Super Bowl? Obviously they're impacted by the cove it But what are some of the big events that people can look forward to? Well, you know, there are so many first associated with this Super Bowl. The NFL experience that is happening out of Julian Be Lane Riverfront Park over a quarter six in part technology village, which is the site of the old, You know, Trump Tower Project. I think all of those areas are fantastic. They're free and open to the public got to make sure that there are opportunities to get in because they are mindful of crowd management and all of the things we're practicing to be safe. Those are amazing, and then obviously they're going to be opportunities. Toc the game in a safe and responsible way, and I can't tell you the buzz here. The media attention We've gotten since last Sunday after that win has been tremendous and national News International news. Everyone is really excited that the Buccaneers air in the Super Bowl and that we're hosting this year. Well, for sure. And by the way, uh, Aaron Jacobson, our partner there.

You hear the keyword you texted to 202 100 for a chance to win. I wish that we had the opportunity to do. We can't because we're employees. But it really is. It seems pretty simple. You texted and I've seen so many people with $1000. I wanna bring this up again because It was a story on on channel 10 about the Buccaneers and them getting their name and everything because they talked about how The Buccaneers were named that in a contest And I just wanted to mention that it was our contest on the morning show on W F l A in our listeners might have been You who sent in suggestions for names and we got hundreds of them. And I've forgotten who all awas Sure I was a little involved in it. But we had a group together that narrowed it down to 10 names the top 10. And we had three Sports writers for the papers, one for them from the Clearwater son No. No longer around one from the evening independent, which was the same Peter afternoon paper no longer around. And Tom McEwen from the Tampa Tribune no longer around. And we had three lists of the top 10 names for them to go through and place him in the order, which they liked him best. In other words, put their favorite at number one and Your worst favorite out of those 10 at the bottom. And it turned out the term buccaneer was the only one repeated on the three. Tom McEwen had it his number one And the sports reporter from the old Clearwater son headed his number 10. So it won the contest, which did him the Buccaneers, which is funny, because it doesn't mean it was the most popular name. It just was the one that was seeing the most. Yeah, and so it became the Buccaneers and I wasn't aware of this. But at one point The University of South Florida was debating whether to name them the Buccaneers or the Golden Brahmans, and this would have been back in the sixties and they let him vote. They voted for the Golden Brahmans instead of the Buccaneers and cow. How How could anybody go Golden Brahmins? That's better than bucking the years. Well, the funny thing is, we did did USF basketball games That was their first real sport. We did the games and they're called the Golden Brahmans and We made him drop the golden partner's calling the Brahmins. Yeah, I can't imagine being a cheerleader for that team. That was what was ridiculous. It was tough on another golden robins air coming out here and So we just dropped it and called in the Brahmins and later on, he became the bulls, which is much better Be there all day. Give me a G.

Home says it's clear that Brady does it the right way. You can hear all the action from Super Bowl 55 starts at four o'clock on Sunday on her sister station. 98 Rock.

"M. Tampa Bay on this Monday, January 11th. I'm Ryan Gorman with me this evening, James Berland er on the board. We've got a packed show for you coming up as the House moves to impeach President Trump for a second time. I'll check in with staff writer for the dispatch Sarah Isgur about the article that's been drafted and the process moving forward Plus Washington correspondent for Business Insider. Tom Lobianco will join me. He literally wrote the book on Mike Pence, so we'll find out from him what the vice president has been thinking during what has easily been the most tumultuous week of his political career and the publisher of Lord Politics. Peter Schorsch is gonna come on. Talk about Florida's role in the big National story lines have transpired since last Wednesday. So all of that and more On the way And as you can tell, we have a lot of national news to get to. So I wanted to start out with something local. Our top story today. The Bucks advance to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. I think this is a new story for the Tampa Bay area. I know it's sports. But the Bucks advancing, moving through the playoffs with the Super Bowl here in Tampa, two huge story Of course, this all comes after lightning won the Stanley Cup. The Rays made it to the world. Syriza, unfortunately, didn't Ring home a championship, but They got their tremendous shortened season for the race. Now, the Bucks getting one step closer to being the first team to play a home Super Bowl game. Now. Don't know if you feel the same way. That was not a great game. The Bucks played against the Washington football team. I was sitting there watching it on Saturday night, and it didn't go at all. How I was hoping it was going to go. I was hoping Against this Washington team that was seven and nine during the regular season. That played a stinker of a final game against the Philadelphia team that had just given up I was hoping the Bucks would come out, dominate early and then get some of their starters out of the game, including Tom Brady. That wasn't the case. The Bucks defense made this. Hi, Nikki Guy look like some Pro bowl quarterback. Don't worry came from But what a story. Guy wasn't even in the league in November. It was like studying for tests and stuff. Mm. Doing? Online classes. All of a sudden, he's in the NFL. He's starting in a playoff game, and he plays like that. What a story. I mean, I wanted the bucks to win. But while I'm watching this Hi, Nikki Guy I'm kind of room form. It's just It's incredible. The offense looked a bit off. I don't understand. I've watched every single game. The Tampa Bay Bucks have played this season. I understand. It's An offense that is bit different with Tom Brady quarterback. You've got some new guys mixed in like Gronkowski. Tom Brady and coach Arians. They have a little bit of a different philosophy on What the offense should be like. There was no priests. I get all that. But We're in the first round when the wild card round of the playoffs and for this offense with all those weapons Was more what? Maybe I'm in Kansas City. But outside of them who was more weapons than the bucks have on offense. Evans to Godwin to Brown now, unfortunately, Jones was hurt couldn't play. It's still you've got Leonard for Nets that bad back up running back. Very solid offensive line. You've got drunk. You've got Miller, You've got parade. Then, of course, the greatest quarterback of all time. And for them tow struggle like they have. They've had a couple of games down the stretch A T end of the season where they were doing things much, much better scoring a lot of points. But like I said, leading into the playoffs When I talked about this briefly last week, they're also playing against some teams that weren't so great. Now they got the win. That's all that matters. Even if you beat a crappy team by one point Accounts. They're going up against a New Orleans Saints team. They have not played well against this year. Saints have had their number. So they're gonna have to step it up a notch and the defense not super impressive against Hi, Nikki. Can you imagine what Drew Brees could do to them if they play that way this coming week? And then after that, if they are to beat the Saints, and I'm assuming, I don't know what the line is out of Vegas, But I'm figuring Gonna be underdogs. On into New Orleans. If they are to pull off the upset win that game, then they would take on the winner of the charges Packers game And I don't know. Obviously the Packers win the Packers have the home game. In the NFC championship. I gotta be honest with you. I don't know if the Chargers were to win in the books, but the charges if I don't know if it's possible to have a Tampa home game unless it's the Super Bowl. But the task in front of them is what's going to be a really difficult game against the New Orleans Saints, possibly the best team in the NFC. I know the Packers have the best record, but the Saints when they're clicking, probably the best team. It's an exciting time for Tampa Bay. I tell you what, throughout the course of 2020 the one great story. One sports was back up and running again. The one thing that we could really Turn two and get away from it all was sports. And here in Tampa, it was fun to watch again from the lightning winning the Stanley Cup championship to the Rays going all the way to the World Series, having just Incredible regular season..

"FM 6 22 on a M Tampa Bay and we're joined right now by Brandon Stickney, Who's a former prison inmate, and he's written a book called The Five People. You'll meet in prison. And Brandon. Thanks for joining us on a m. Tampa Bay. Um good morning. Thank you. Covert is apparently having quite a While making an impression in the prisons right now, I know I saw that right now. That virus is covert is the leading killer of the state's law officers. And particularly in the prisons because the prison officers air having trouble trying to isolate That is true there there about 11,000. 256 and that is infected inmates and you add those numbers up with the officers and the guards and other prison staff. Now this is going out throughout the entire prison. This is about 17,000 people and new numbers air coming out on the seventh of this month, so it may be even higher. It's quite quite dangerous inside of a prison and this is like everyone out there. Every Floridian Must pay attention to these stories because the staff have to go home, right? They have to go home every day. They're not staying in hotel rooms. They're going home to their families. And And if they have the infection, then it's spreading around with the families. And that's how the prisons are actually kind of pod, actually, or playgrounds for covert because there is no social distance. So what's the answer? What should be done? And now that we're getting to the end of this year? How do you think the vaccine should be distributed? Well, I think with vaccine distribution, that's a very political question, because do we do we vaccinate the prisoners? I think that's a good idea. So maybe we can stop the flow off covert getting out of the prisons and into our communities. They're not top priority that there They're not. They're not well what people in the public normally say I hate prisoners. Let him rot. We spend so much money on them. They got three TV Baba Ba, and that's uh Not kind of inhumane, but at the same time we're looking at the critical nous of Giving the vaccine to the law enforcement people and they definitely need it up front line policemen they are out. It was the public every day going everywhere And but But the thing about prison is it's It's breathing in there, The numbers are getting higher and higher they're bringing in the National Guard. And because so many prison guards are sick right now. Yeah. And then the National Guard is gonna be in the same position because they're gonna be in the same position that prison guards were On, but ultimately you hope that we'll have enough. Vaccine that we can get through with the elderly and people in hospitals and things like that and ultimately down to the prison level. Yeah, it seems like the question is which one is it Seems like, you know, Cove. It is obviously spreading faster than the vaccine. So the federal level we really, really need to catch up with some of these other countries out there that are reporting better numbers. But the thing I'm kind of worried about is not all Prison wardens, at least in my experience are completely 100% truthful. So are the numbers in these prisons actually higher. Do we really have a good grasp on how many people have it because you could be tested for it, and your test results can come in within an hour, or it could be five or six days. So the report. Even if they're telling the truth, the report coming from some law enforcement of the prison is is probably not accurate, because if if it could take five days to get the results back What they're saying today is gonna be the same by base. For now, By the way, Brandon spent 19 months in prison on a minor drug conviction. Where was that in in New York. That was in New York state, and then I need they. Once I got out of prison. I need a safe place to stay. I came down to Florida and stayed with my parents. And I was with them for for for two years, and it was a safe house and I worked on the book. During that time. It was actually it was very nice to get into kind of a new surroundings. Positive people. Alcoholics Anonymous. And just let some great people there, including the people from Florida cares. There are prison reform, and they're working very, very hard to make life in the prisons in Florida. Ah, little bit easier on the inmates. That's it is. It is tough down there. And now it's even tougher with with covert because there's no social distancing. There's no one to go. You're always about 2 ft, away from maybe less than the other prisoner. Especially when they're moving them in a bus because the bus is very tight and you're shackled and they got a hand out your meals. You could be on the bus for three anywhere from three hours to 12 hours. So if you don't think that this is another way that covert is getting out of the prison is when they're moving prisoners anywhere for any reason. It's just what you get one guy on the bus, and he's very guaranteed so close to everyone else that he's gonna spread that. Well, we appreciate your joining us, Brandon Stickney. And the book is the five people you meet in prison when this is all over brain and I want to have you on on here. Some crazy prison stories. Okay, Yeah. Yeah, I wanna find out any of them. Want to find out who those five people are? You met there, But thanks for joining us on a M. Tampa Bay this morning. Thank you very much. By the way, I don't know if we mentioned or not Sue Carlton to the nice story in the Tampa Bay Times this morning, but Um Pat Frank. Eyes retiring today at the age of 91. She's been a state lawmaker, Hillsborough County Commissioner County court clerk. Um on. There's been talk of naming the courthouse after which she has, uh In fact, Hillsborough County. School board.
