Speaker 3 (02:36):
What don't we do?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Geez, I'll tell you what we don't do. Negotiate and
let me explain.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Let me.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'll wrap this up real quick, and I guess I
we'll move on to other stuff. But before I came
to the show today, I was at the car dealership
with my wife. I figure, from Mother's Day, maybe you
just got weak skills. Man, you gotta really be willing
to walk. I'll buy a new car.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Now. I'm not buying part new car from Mother's Day.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
But my wife's been wanting to upgrade to the three
row because we got kids and sports and activities, and
as your kids get older, a lot of dads know
you need more space for like chunk sports equipment, lugging
other people's kids to practices and dance class and all
this stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
So we're getting the three rows.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I think now, I said, negotiating at a car place
seems to be a thing of the past that your
dad and Grandpapy would do, and my name with cash can't.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
My dad always negotiates cash money. Now that works some places.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You know he might might have worked done around the house,
and if you give your contractor cash money, he might
lower the price.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
But you're saying at the dealer, shit at the dealership.
I think it's sort of like, hey, here's the price,
take it or leave it.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
And I say that because back in the day when
we learned about negotiating, the same thing applied for hotels airfare.
Your parents were guessing because well, you went to a
travel agent and they tried to help you. But right now,
if you wanted a flight, you'd go to Kayak, you'd
go to price Line, you'd go you go to all
these places and starts cross referencing, hotels, dot Com, Hotels, Tonight, Expedia,

(04:04):
those things are there.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
To be tools to help you.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Right now, if I was trying to find the trade
in value of my car, there's like twenty websites that'll
tell you the trade in value of your car. So
when you hear your dad or grandpappy talking about, yeah,
I was negotiating this plymouth in nineteen eighty something, there's
no internet, so negotiating meant more I think nowadays.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
It's different with pre owns, but a brand new car,
I think the wiggle room is not that much.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's like, here's the MSRP. If that's I would say that.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, I think your business means a lot more to them, though,
because not a lot of people are buying cars, not
as much as they used to, because interest rates are
so high and people.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Are paying to you. You said it right there.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Interest rates, Well, that's where a lot of the negotiating
is because when they're saying thirteen, I'm saying no, I'm
not paying more than eight, is right I was at
last time, and my credit's better now you should be
going down, not up.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Right, which is wild and uh, and that's what the
banking person.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
But if you could buy it outright and avoid that completely.
It makes a lot of sense now, like interesants is
so high. If you have that money, I'll screw it.
Then I'll just buy it. But why do I want
to get ripped off paying all this crazy interest?

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, Rich that salesperson though they always disappear into the
back to talk to the financing manager, the finance manager
about that interest rate and then come back. That's still
part of the game.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, But again, Danny, that's different than the price of
the car. You're right, yeah, the with the with the
economy now, interest rate is more of the issue.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
But if you're saying.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'll buy the car in cash, which I know not
everyone could do, I'm not saying I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
But if you can't, I can't. It is going to
save you a few bucks and at least you got that.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
But I think the idea of like I think my
wife was like, will you throw in like I don't know,
like certain sport package, or will you throw in the
special like car cover, the seat covers for kids making
a mess, or can you give me the sport Matt Carr.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
It's like she's trying to get exit.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
You know, I got some though, you yea, you always
try to get your extras, like Rich is saying, But dude,
inventory is so low at so many places for whatever reason,
that they're willing to buy your crappy car back more
more willing than they used to. So maybe you get
more for your trade and then you used to be
able to get it.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
All right, let's go to Andrew and Fort Lauderdale. Andrew,
Am I totally wrong? Am I right about there being
not that much wiggle room for a brand new Carson?

Speaker 5 (06:30):
You're not that far away. I'm actually on my way
to the Bruins and Panthers game too.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Nice fund brother.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah. Yeah, So let me kind of say it is
the basis of a car deal and really how it works.
I've been selling cars for forty years. First of all,
the majority of factory authorized retailers that you go to
at one price selling customers do not want to negotiate.
They simply don't. Well, if you feel that everybody's paying
the same for the car, you feel a little better. Well,
the way it works is lection one percent of the

(06:56):
dealership propic comes from the selling of the car. There's
very margin in a car. If you take the car
that this twenty thousand dollars. The dealer owns that car
for about eighteen nine. He's working with a small morge.
The majority of the top of them. The dealers to
come from the service department. It's called sixed operations. That's
where the real the real shop that comes. As far
as the interest rate, the dealer does determine the rate

(07:18):
of interest. The dealers structor of the deal. He submits
it to a bank, you know, assuming you have different
credit and the bank comes back with an interest rate.
The bigger banks are more competitive. You've ever still a
credit file, you know, the Bank of America. It's truist,
right if you have a little bit of a credit challee,
and you know, they may have some lenders. They work
as a work along the line, but very little, very

(07:39):
little margin in the car.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Say thank you, Andrew.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Then that was what I was thinking, because a new car,
you're right the service center and they'll be like, hey,
do you want the tire package? Do you want this
thing where if something ever goes wrong with your car,
they try to sell you on those extras, and you
try to ask them for extras.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
It's almost like how movie theaters don't make barely any
money off the actual tickets of the movie.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
They make their money off concessions.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's why popcorns thirteen bucks. Uh, let's have it to
Travis and Washington state.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
What's up, Trav.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Hey, there's more of a tip than a negotiation tactic, because, yeah,
there is really no wiggle room. But if you can
wait until the end of the year, because dealerships are
going to have one thousand, you know, blowout sales throughout
the year, but the end of the year blowout sale
is always the one where they're trying to mark down
the price to move the car, to get it off
their books so that they can get the next year's

(08:29):
model in. So if you can wait until.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
That time, gotcha.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Thanks for good tip. And by the way, we are
accepting tips now ten. You just have to ask a
few questions first.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Let's get the screen's going to ask you a question.
So bringing our show's card slide to you, gay. Yeah,
if everybody is accepting tips, so are we. Thank you.
Matt wrapped us up in so cal it's our.

Speaker 7 (08:50):
Buddy yo Comino and ranch as always natural content backed
by since your bs. Yeah, hey, honest, I think there
is a wiggle room and I think there's a technique
to it, because the last two cars that I bought,
I think it's who you bring with you. I brought
my brother in law, who absolutely loved this stuff. I

(09:11):
just sat there and did absolutely nothing. And to me,
it's like there's levels to it. It's like you know,
playing video games and jumping leaders. If you don't get
by the first two lines of at least the first
two lines of the fence, then I think you're getting screwed.
But it's like, I mean, he went in there and
like right away, we sat down. I just watched and
it got to the point where okay, we got to
the third or fourth guy and it's like, okay, you

(09:33):
gotta be ready to walk. And I got two victories
in my book and I did absolutely nothing. So I
definitely think I definitely did this wiggle room, and there's
definitely technique.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I think there's way more wiggle room to wrap it
up with pre owns, right because they're just sort of
not guessing, but they're making up the price.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Spot. I got to wheel it just a little little bit.
I've always said that.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
You have spot when I, uh you and I looked
at cars and I remember this is when we first
moved Los Angeles, Cavino Spot and I all moved out
here at the same time, and I remember some of
the salesmen were like, don't leave. They're very like, don't leave,
Like what can we do to get you to not
leave without the car? And then do you start, like,
you know, being preposterous, like all right, knock up another

(10:16):
five grand, And it's like, really just a silly game
that I think the wiggle room is what you think?
What even though we're monthly payments to be zero, but
I'm gonna have to have a payments.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
That's it's possible.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yea, all right, Well, thank you guys for hearing me
out there. I just thought it was interesting because you know,
you don't go get a new car that often, and
when you do, you realize, like, oh, nowadays, in twenty
twenty four, it seems like they're they're very much.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Like, here's what it is, you take it to leave it.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Another interesting thing in twenty twenty four, if you buy
a pre owned they do not fill the car up
with gas.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
You need to leave.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Remember that was always a thing, like you left a
lot with a full tank. They only do that for
brand new cars.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
What it weep, by the way, that's one of the
best expensive.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's one of the best rebrandings in the history, even
more so than the The Twelfth Man in Seattle, even
more so than the Steph Curry Warriors. The best rebranding
in the last twenty something years calling used cars certified prehance.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
It sounds way nicer. You get a nice little warranty
with it too.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, it's still like like, yeah, it's us a used car.
No no, not a used car certified, pre certified, pre owned.
Sounds way nice, thank you.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
The best rebranding was Crocs.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's a good one too, is fine. They were garbage.
Would have never had a kid's love. I would have
never been caught dead in those And now I like,
take out the trash.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
War you're talking branding, I see. The best rebranding is Kiya.
They got a new nine inch nails logo and they're
kind of sweet looking.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I looked at the what is it the tell you ride,
but I was like, I can't. I still can't find
myself buying a key and unless they're gonna give me
a free one.

Speaker 8 (11:50):
The quality of Kias now is much better than they were.
I drove a Kia Turbo Tikia Soul Turbo. Yeah, but
they had loved that car. They had a weak sort
of stegment. Now they're cool.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Hell, I mean.

Speaker 8 (12:01):
They're actually really good value and they don't like I'm
not gonna name my current car, but my Keia needed
almost no upkeep compared to my That was not an
iron car. I agreed, he looked great, loved it. He
was a fast little guy.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
So that's Iowa, Samuel, Danny g is here, Capino and
Rich Sam.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
You don't want to tell people you drive a Volkspeging Rabbit.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Well, outside their little lying scandal, Volkswagens are actually pretty
good cars.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't drive a rabbit, though.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's okay that you're drive any Suzu Amigo Suzu.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
I find those. There's no shame in your geo, the
fact that you drive a probe.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm not judging Geo Metro, you know from a two
thousand totally fine dodged on. Yeah, it's okay you have
a Ponty x on fire man. My girlfriend had one
in two thousand and two. I saw you in a
Saturn in the garage. All right, let's remember some old cars.
We gotta talk well, I don't know, it was getting
late early. Do you want to talk fights, Rich, Do

(12:56):
you want to talk Austin Rivers? Well, I think they're
gonna get into midweek.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
May.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
I think there's awesome Rivers thing is interesting because the
Ryan Garcia thing, it's still we're still not certain the
story is that Ryan Garcia. It looks like he's like
sort of innocent, like one of the drug tests came
back good for him, but the story's not Rich.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Sample B the result the official results for sample B
of his urine test come back May twenty second, but
to see if he comes back positive for ostereen. But
he did come back negative for Nirando starone Narando starone.
Wasn't that the Italian kid in Spot's home room.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Narando starone, that's what stillone uses at hotels.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, absolutely, Norando starone. Absolutely. So it did come.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Back that he was cleared of the ped nineteen Arando starone,
and like the other levels are so minuscule, they're trying
to argue that that doesn't even matter. That could have
been in like a random vitamin he was taking. So
you know, we don't know the full story. So as
Corporate America would say, can you not put a pin
in that and circle back. It's looking good for Garcia

(14:03):
at the moment because social media has basically declared him innocent.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Well, but national media circle back on zoom.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Will circle back put a pin in it. But there's
a viral meme going around based on a quote of
Austin Reeves. Is there actually audio of it as well?
Then let's hear buddy from the McAfee show. Take a
listen to Austin Rivers.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
We got to get you outside of that football lane, man,
where the guaranteed contracts are, where the best athletes in
the world are.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
That's us. I could take thirty players right down in
the NBA and throw them in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
You cannot take thirty NFL players and put them in
the NBA.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Whoa five on the court. Let's just let you get
a break every play. I got to just catch the
ball and run the north or south.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
It ain't was McAfee wearing a tank top? Well standing,
that's my guess. Yes, okay. By the way, JJ Watt
responded to that, I don't know if you saw it.
You don't got a job in either right now. Now
go ahead and try it. So it definitely ruffled some ridges.
As I say, so, you could take thirty players in

(15:08):
the NBA throw them in the NFL, But you can't
take thirty players in the NFL and throw them in
the NBA.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Now, I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
You could take some of the NFL players and maybe
get him in the NBA. It maybe are there some
great athleticism in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
We recently talked about the NFL Draft where he saw
a video of guys playing, you know, high school or college.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm not saying Poka Nakula could be in the NBA,
but the dude could ball. You don't know, But you're
saying throw them in the NBA where he could hang.
I think could hang. We're talking Odell Beckham junior. Dude
got some skills You've would only get into an NBA
during during garbage time. But I do, for the most
part agree with Rivers here. I think the athleticism in

(15:56):
the NBA, all the athleticism requires to be in the NBA,
would translate quicker in the NFL. These dudes are quick,
they have good hands, they're tall as hell.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
That's like saying you don't think Lebron could play could
have played or could play in the NFL if he
dedicated his time to that. It's and those are That's
just one obvious example.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's a tricky argument, right, It's a tricky argument because
some sports require such a skill that is just not
easy to obtain. The NFL, learn the playbook. And I'm
certainly not making it seem like Austin Rivers did, which
is like all you gotta do is catch.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
The ball and run.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
But if you have size, strength, speed, all the intangibles,
if you're an athlete, I think you could be trained
to be an NFL player quicker.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yes, than other sports.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, Now, basketball requires a level of skill. Baseball require
let me skill, Let me throw your curveball, literally, U
pun intended. I don't think you could take any NBA
player or NFL player and put him in the batter's
box and expect them to hit over.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
I mean, we've see one hundred.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
We've seen the greatest NBA player try to do it.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Michael Jordan defied all odds by batting like two hundreds
in the minors. Again, specific skill, So it's skill versus size, speed,
and strength, right.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
I mean athleticism.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, like just brew athleticism, and I think that there's
some truth to what he's saying. And that's not to
minimize or downplay what it takes to make any but
there's truth to it.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Without put you on.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
The spot, it's probably a quick Google spot if you
want to do it, someone, please just look up the
size and weight of Carl Anthony Towns.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
What's Cat's numbers?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Because I think a guy with that size and strength,
if taken under someone's tutelage and said, you know you're
going to be a tight end, you don't think a
guy like Carl Anthony Towns got it?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
What is he? What is he?

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Dannag He is seven feet tall anywaighs two hundred and
forty eight pounds.

Speaker 8 (18:00):
But that's not too tall for the NFL. There's a
certain cutoff, like you're not you can't have a tackle
being taller than like six ' eight but you But
if Kat beefed up that was like six feet. If
Kat was seven foot to eighty eight put on forty
pounds of beef, you don't think after a year of
training he could play in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, yes, what would he play though? Tight end? I
think tight end? He'd be a goal line thread.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
But I'm just saying I hate to say it, but
what Austin Rivers said is such a blanket statement.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
But he's sort of right.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
You know what, though maybe their speed isn't as elite
as some of the speed we see in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
I also think there's levels to this because you could say, well,
some NFL guys could play in the NBA, but for
forty two forty three minutes. We talked just last week
about how many miles? What is it, Sam?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Eight miles? Yeah, it's like they run on average like
eight miles a game.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
I mean the NFL, you can to come off the field,
and what happens to defense is when they stay on
the field too long, they win.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Did they're breathing heavy? Can't do it?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Imagine running up and down a basketball court for eight miles.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Now I look at Isaac Lowankron and my first thought is,
I mean, the guy could probably fight. Hey, Isaac, you
ever hit a punching bag for like a couple minutes.

Speaker 9 (19:14):
I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
You know what. I was wrong?

Speaker 2 (19:17):
You're right, But have any of you guys ever at
the gym just for fun, like yeah, for Cardio today,
those are heavy. I'm just gonna hit the heavy bag.
I've made love to the punching bag. I've I've hit
like a heavy complaints. I've hit a heavy bag for
five minutes, and I feel like I've went.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Through a war.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Hurt, your hands hurt when you see these guys going
twelve rounds of heavyweight boxing or middleway, but while getting punched,
while getting punched, like, have I told you put on
these sparring gloves, just hit the bag for five minutes,
you'd be breathing heavy.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Keeping additioned for it, you know. And that's not again
to downplay that. And again they say Austin Rivers just
don't out specific numbers. When I say I kind of
agree with him, I just mean I think there's more
NBA players that could make it in the NFL than
vice versa.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know, spotches him in be an article, Thank you, Spot.
WWE wrestler Gable Stevenson. I don't know the guy well,
but he looks like a beast. Former US Olympic heavyweight
wrestler gold medallist is getting some interest from NFL teams
because what does he have?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Size, strength, athleticism, yep. So I'm not.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Saying the NFL is easy by any means. I don't
want that to I don't want to come across like
I'm saying that at all. But what I am saying
is what could translate. And I think if you got
those god given intangibles, you could be worked with where
you I don't think you could just teach someone how
to have a good jump shot or hit a curveball.
You could teach someone to be strong, fit and play football.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
In fact, the only story that comes to mind right
off the bat of Hey, we found the guy who's
giant and we're gonna teach him to play basketball is
the Minu Bull story, you know, and that is a
rare story.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Hey he's a big, giant dude in Africa.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know what, if you're the guy you were going
to teach you how to play basketball, think of how.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Many times spot.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, you don't really hear that that much because it
takes such a skill level amount of skill due to
play in the NBA.

Speaker 8 (21:12):
Hey, I to make a quick correction, I'm sorry, this
is I was way off. So the average the distance
of so someone doesn't tweet at me, the average distance
in NBA guy, I don't know where I got eight
miles from. It's between two and a half and three miles.
So please don't tweet at me that I was way off,
because I was way off, so I.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Just wanted to you just had eminem on here.

Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, that's still after three miles, so I just want
to correct.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
That's still way off. There's still more miles than all
of us running a month.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Get off your shirt, bro, I don't know I got
that from. I don't know I got that anyway, but
from the destroyed I don't want it to make it
seem like I think anyone could play football. Don't get
it twisted. I'm not saying that. It's just what could
you be trainable in? And the best example, by the way,
you're not saying it. We're just sort of agreeing with
Rivers a little bit.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
I think Rivers is right in that all these sports
are way out of the caliber of a regular guy to.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
He just made a blanket and it's just statement.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Again.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
He says, I can take thirty players, thirty players right
now from the NBA, throw them in the NFL. You
can't take thirty NFL players. Put him in the NBA.
Oh you know what, then I will say I agree
with him. I'm really I don't think either as possible.
I'll give you the example.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
There's someone in this room that doesn't have announce of athleticism,
but he's a great guy. He's sitting two people to
the right of me, Isaac No to oh Spot, Oh Spot,
because Spot's a big guy. Spot's like six to one,
two hundred pounds. Spot was approached, but you were you
were a chubby your guy. Let's make you were a
chubby your guy. In high school, the football coach approached
you NonStop, like, oh, Christian, Spot, you should join the

(22:41):
football team because back for the.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Most part, if you're big, that's like a big part
of it. I just wanted to play the trumpet.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Yeah, it's like no, no, no, I could teach you the
footwork to be I just want to play the trumpet.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I just want to play when the States come march
it then, So with that said, I wanted to play.
Let's go band in the in the worst way. My
contribution to the team. All right, Well, hey, your thoughts,
you agree with Austin Rivers or not, will take your
feedback and Spot, you know the trumpet player. Not football.
You want me non athletic, chubby guys.

Speaker 3 (23:12):

Speaker 10 (27:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Before we hand things over the number one host and
only host of the segment, we are gonna roll the
big red love dice in the main studio.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
This is to see who gets first. Take nine, Baby
Gravino got nine.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Now Rich roll with an eleven? Yeah, rich girls first?
All right in Now, ladies and gentlemen. The most famous
person from Scotch Plains New Jersey besides Judy Bloom Spotty boy,
I love how I.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Have prep all day and only get thread one story.

Speaker 12 (28:23):
If you finally got around to watching the greatest roast
of all time that Netflix rose to Tom Brady, your
experience may be a bit different than those who watched
it live. A few of the moments, apparently from the
live stream were edited or justed for replay, most notably
Kim Kardashian when she was introduced by Kevin Hart got.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Tons of.

Speaker 12 (28:43):
But if you watch it now, would she announcer. She
walks up and just starts talking. There's no booze what gives.
But some of the other awkward moments were kept in,
like when Brady jumped up about the Robert Kraft fame.
The Aaron Hernandez thing was left in, So who knows
if they'll continue editing made for Nature.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
I've said a torn but I gonna say week week.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
I'll tell you why we're rewriting history. I don't like
who people do that.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
It's like Alicia Keys hit a sour note at the
Super Bowl halftime show, and when you watch the replay,
they fix the note like that's.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Not what happened. Kim got booed. Love it or hate it,
it happened.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
So I don't know why we're adjusting it Netflix.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
I'm not feeling it. I think it's weak. It's not
weak at all. Oh, but it's not mid.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
So I'm just going with major by default because the
whole event was major.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
It was live at aired live.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
If you missed what happened live, that's on you because
it was live. So if they have the options to
edit it up for your viewing pleasures later on, they
clean it up, they make it shorter.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
It was three hours long. How was it sort of
like make it bearable?

Speaker 1 (29:49):
They did that with the Chris Rock special to the
aired live. He flubbed the line the.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Edit is so not booing somebody that'd be like, you know,
Roger Goodell always gets famous booed. It's endaring, that's part
of it. Why are you going to take out the
booing of Kim k.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Look, it wasn't yelling.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
She's best off. He cuts out all my bad jokes. Yes,
you'll miss that joke later. You get a better product,
is cleaned up. You have the option. You had the
option to see it alive.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
You chose not to. There you go all right?

Speaker 12 (30:20):
Uh to Travis and Taylor news because we get that
every week actors and singer Jona Kramer Rich, I know
you're a big fan of her.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
She's super hot.

Speaker 12 (30:27):
Getting some flat for comments she made about Travis Kelcey
on her podcast wind Down. She had some skating comments
about Kelsey's partying ways and drinking, saying that he drinks
way too much, he always seems drunk whenever she sees
him partying. He just always seems drunk and thinks that
he's going to be a bad influence on Taylor, saying
that already she feels like she's drinking more since they

(30:50):
started dating. Kelsey responded, it was the greatest thing. He's
like Johanna, who had no idea who Jona Kramer is,
and I believe has no idea why she's even chiming
in on his life.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Midwek er major dude.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I think she super hot, and with all due respect,
she's been divorced three times and she's like thirty or something.
So it's like a it's like a fat trainer at
the gym. You taking advice from the guy. What does
she talk about relationship? Stay in your lane? You don't
even know him. I think it's weak.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, I think it's weak too. She doesn't know the guy,
and it's on her podcast. It's like, so she basically
said it in her basement and everyone's making a big
deal about it. And we all know podcasts like opinions
go on everybody has one, okay, and much like her opinion,
it stinks. So yeah, why should Kelsey betund like he
knows her? No offense? She's a good looking girl, she's

(31:35):
a great actress, but who cares what she thinks about
his relationship true or him all right?

Speaker 12 (31:40):
The Indianapolis Star columnists who had the awkward encounter with
Caitlyn Clark a few weeks back. Remember you made that
like heartthands thing, like I hope you do that to me. Well, anyway,
he's been slapped with the suspension the team Greg Doyle
gave him, or they gave Greg Doyle two weeks suspension
from the Star. He's returning next week, but apparently he
will not be attending any of the Indiana Fever games

(32:03):
over the summer, and he'll just be reporting on it
from his home watching them on television. So he's still
going to be doing his column, but not attending any
games Midweek or major?

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Is that a reward?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh, it's not not going to the Okay, I'm sorry,
mid dude. Those guys assignment is the Indiana Fever until
Kitlen Clark was on the team. That seems like a punishment,
like he blew his one chance to be part of
something relevant.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
This guy's a bozo, but I still feel bad for him.
It's a mid story.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
He's really weak because he was part of the weakss
Indiana Fever press and now he finally has a chance
to be part of something cool, part of something big,
and he bleway.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
They're being a little hard on him. They are, this
is so weak.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yeah, I think it's very weak because he's way over punished.
He was awkward in the moment, but he apologized immediately.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
They made a big deal about him.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
I think they're really overprotecting at this point, and she's
gonna have to deal with a hell of a lot
more than that. And they're suspending a guy, or not
suspending guy, but they're not letting him cover for he.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
Got two weeks suspension and he doesn't get to do
live in games.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, coverage that is late.

Speaker 12 (33:15):
More quickly because this is so sad the Oakland A's
as they plan their move, fans are just abandoning the
team left and right. Stats have been released regarding fan attendance. Apparently,
current attendance is about six thousand fans per game, and
they released stats saying that five hundred and fifty three
sports teams in US based leagues are averaging more fans

(33:35):
per home game, including this is such so sad. Three
indoor football leagues, two college wrestling teams, a professional women's
volleyball team, thirteen minor league baseball teams, eleven minor league
hockey teams, and the list.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Goes on, and the LSU gymnastics teams because of livey done.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Because it's just so sad.

Speaker 12 (33:56):
And there was a poll put out by a Vegas
tourism in the count apparently like fifty to sixty percent
of people don't even care that they're movie to Vegas
media Cremaji.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'm going to I'm gonna say it's a week on
behalf of them, Cavino, did you see I think they're
five hundred again? They won today and there's a lot
of memes saying are they the real life Cleveland Indians
when the owners in the movie Major League tried to lose?

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah, they're just below five hundred, just below one game below.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I think it's super Week because that's an organization with
a lot of great history. They think about the nineteen
eighty nine team, all those big stars that played in
the late eighties, the Bash Brothers, Dave Stewart, Bob Wells show,
all those dudes, they had some great histories to see
where they are now, and it's so sad to think
that the Savannah Bananas probably have a bigger turn on
that way. By far than the Oakland Athletics. It's about

(34:44):
time they rebrand them, sent them in Vegas. People will
show up for them, dude. Sacramento is the biggest winner
in this. They're the most excited.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
And if we had a baseball team in southern California
with a crappy owner and we knew they were moving away,
we wouldn't go to the games either.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
By the way they're doing, they's are doing better than
the Angels. And in the last place, Houston Astros who knew,
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Spot, thank you. Let's go to Ilo ours a glowing crawm.

Speaker 9 (35:07):
What's upout right, guys, I have a crazy new detail
about show. Hey Otani and I have a quiz. We'll
start with the Otani story. Epem Zuhara, Tani's former translator,
reached a plea deal today with federal prosecutors. He'll plead
guilty to charges of bank fraud and to subscribing to
a false tax return. He'll be rained next Tuesday, faces

(35:30):
up to thirty three years of prison.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Now.

Speaker 9 (35:33):
In the plea agreement document, it was revealed today that
in September of last year, Mizuhara legitimately needed sixty thousand
dollars worth of dental work. Otani agreed to pay for
the dental work and authorize the check drawn from a
business account. Mizuhara instead paid the dentist from Otani's debit

(35:57):
card account and pocketed the sixty thousand dollars check. Otani
wrote for the dental work himself.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Wow, what a fiend?

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Should I stop using by the way instead of c
our Show? Should I start using epe as my code
for Jeffkings I have might must be how bad do
your teeth have to be? Sixty grand? He'll have the
best teeth in prison. I'll tell you that. I just
love to upsell, I guess. In the NBA, The Athletic
reports that Milwaukee Bucks forward Fanasis on Tetkumpo has sustained

(36:26):
a torn achilles tendon and will undergo surgery. Fanasis on Tetekumpo. Finally,
we have a boxing story for you too that involves
the quiz. There was a famous trailblazing female professional boxer
during the nineteen nineties named Christy Martin. You guys remember her,
first woman boxer to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated,
first woman boxer to be signed by Don king Well.

(36:49):
Deadline Hollywood reports a new biopic about Christy Martin is
in the work. So I want the two of you
to guess who will be portraying Christy Martin.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I know, I know, I know it is all right,
go Sydney sweet you all right?

Speaker 12 (37:04):
And her speed about those things like sugar atte entered.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
That's a movie quote.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
I hope you guys now, okay, you Sam, I think
you have to dump yourself.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
That's from liar liars on that note, Isaac, Thank you,
thank you more.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Next, Cavin on Rich on Fox Sports Radio, speaking of
Sidney Sweeney some old school Dolly parton.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Iowa.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Sam got something on his mind. Fox Sports Radio, Covino
and Rich live from tire rack dot Com studio. And
again not this Friday, Next Friday, Eugene, Oregon. Here we come,
Graduate Hotels Live broadcast, see you there. Details at Covin
Oenrich at Fox Sports Radio. And then on the twenty fourth,
the week after Tempi Arizona. So again this is your

(38:08):
invite and we'reking two to six there. Yeah, we're working
two to six when we're out there. So hope to
see you there and thank you guys, again for hanging
out with us now, I.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Think when we're there. Yeah, you're a big sneaker guy.
I'm guessing I got some Nike stuff over there now,
just bought some sweet one.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
I'm in the mail right now. Bro, I can't even
tell you what I've.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
The Graduate Hotels in Eugene. Yeah, the front desk is
all Nike shoes.

Speaker 10 (38:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Well, each Graduate hotels sort of a homage to its hometown,
shrine to its hometown.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Rich last time I was in Oregon, I got this
sweet Nike bag. So yeah, there's definitely some Nike items there.
You don't see her around the rest of the country.
It's I be honest, the truth.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Is not easy to get in and out of Eugene, right,
I mean you've have to fly to Portland, rent the
car and do it, or maybe deal with some Connector flights.
For the most part, I feel like Cavino could spend
the whole afternoon looking at sneakers if you really wanted to.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Again, I don't want to, because I just bought it.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
You know, I spent five grand in eugen weren't cheap either, man.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Did you get those?

Speaker 6 (39:15):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (39:16):
What did you get?

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Let's just say there's some Patina involved, and Mike Wolf
of the American Pickers would love them. They're patina og
Jordan wants. Look, I'm serious. Yeah, I'm not even kidding.
You gotta see them. They're like brownish and black and gray.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Real nice. They were made in an old barn.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah, that's their call though, the patina og Ones or whatever.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Well way, thank you guys for hanging out with us.
Now tomorrow which you gotta talk more, maybe about this
Ryan Garcia.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, the Ryan Garcia thing.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
We'll get to and did We of course didn't get
to everything we thought. We thought we were going to
get to. What celebrity athlete do you want to see
roasted next?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
And who would do it? Does a guy like Lebron
have the wabos to do it?

Speaker 1 (40:00):
The guy we started our show off with has to
be in the conversation. I'm talking Shack Heel O'Neill, So
we'll maybe talk about that. We talked about arrangements, but again,
other things we didn't get to, the theatrics of sports
and all the fanfare and how it's getting.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Someone say, out of control. I think the I think
the world of sports is headed towards more showiness. You
haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg. We talk
about how we go to fights. The ring entrances are
like fifteen twenty minutes. How long will you think it takes,
like a guy like Tyson Fury to come down to
the right.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
We know why.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
There's a story that your boy, Edwin Diaz doesn't have
the greatest I know, reliever entrance in baseball anymore. In fact,
it's coming out of Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
So we'll get to that tomorrow a lot that we
didn't get to today on the show now tonight, of course,
I want to watch Pacers Nicks like everyone else, but
you know what, you know what I think I want
to watch and it got god awful reviews, But I
think I want to watch the Pop Tart Mary Seinfeld movie.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Did you watch it or not? It's good, all right,
it's a good movie. Yeah, I've heard.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
I'd like to hear that you said that, because everyone
I've heard talk about it say it's like awful.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
The cast is huge, but they're.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Saying that there's a lot of cameos and surprise appearances,
Like there's a lot of people in that movie, not
just not just Dame Schumer and Seinfeld and Gaffickin and McCarthy.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
