Welcome back to Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
To our left.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's a pleasure to meet and welcome someone we see
on social media all the time. Yeah, over eleven million
followers on all social media platforms. From sports grid give

Speaker 4 (00:37):
How are you please for having me? I'm super excited.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Pleasure to have you now. Great to see you in person.
We feel like we see you every day on our phone.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
How many people do you feel as though they recognize you?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
And I was like, I know her? Where do I
know her from? You get that a lot?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, well you look familiar.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Yeah, oh yeah, if I'm on a golf course, it
makes sense, yes, but like walking around here anywhere. But
I have the best job ever because like I can
be invisible in real life because social media fame.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Isn't real, So it's like I have that life and
then I have my real life.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You got to tell us about that again, Page Brannic.
You definitely know her again, give me prompts. Is the
new show on Sports Grit. She's a former pro golfer
turned social media superstar. Tell us about that decision, how
it happened. Was it hard to say, well, I'm going
to give up pro golf and focus on this but
still golf like, tell us about the journey.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Yeah, So I was a competitive gymnast before I switched
over to golf, and I really wanted to be a
pro athlete, and I thought that I would just be
really well suited to golf, and so I did junior
golf and then played D one golf and then two
years professionally. But that first year it's financially straining and
I didn't have any support and it just kind of
(01:50):
happened to me where someone wrote an article about me.
I went viral overnight. I went from having five hundred
followers two hundred thousand followers, and companies were and at
the time, this is almost ten years ago now, there
was no path to be a social media influencer or
content creator and especially in golf or in sports, and
so I was like, oh, I can use this to
(02:12):
my advantage to finance my golf career. And that's really
how it started. And after really like a year of
trying to balance both, which was really hard, and I
was also dealing with a lot of criticism of you know,
getting a sponsor invite or just what people said was
like special treatment in the golf industry because of my
(02:33):
following or my appearance, and it was just too hard
to handle. And I was never cut out for pro golf.
I had the physical skills to do it, but oh
my god, I'm such a head case. It was bad.
It was really bad.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Got to the most the criticism, or you know, I
think that.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Like coming from a gymnastics background, where you need to
be perfect and you're striving for perfection, and then you
go to golf, which is the exact opposite. There's no
such thing as perfect, and really you look like this
throughout your career and the highs never really outweighed the lows.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
For me, There's just.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Something about golf, and I don't know if you you've
played it, but it just makes you feel so small
about yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
For that reason, Yeah, I have not because everyone's like,
you're gonna You're gonna love it one day, right, and
then the minute you feel like I'm getting pretty good,
then you feel like you suck.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
It just eats you alive.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And especially when you're trying to do it as a living,
which most people like that's the dream job. And I'm like, well,
you know, especially for the women. And I was playing
on the mini tours. I played around twenty five tournaments.
I had a win and it barely broke even for
the year, And so you're grinding and you don't have support,
and it's just a really hard lifestyle. So there's so
much pressure on you and then me just kind of
(03:41):
being a people pleaser and wanting to do a good job.
And also it's a really unique sport too, where you know,
my parents always told me, if you work hard, you
will be successful. If you do everything that you need
to do, you will see results. And golf is like, nah, no,
you won't. You can eat right, you can, you know,
do everything, have healthy habits and work around the gym
and work card, you know, on your practice, and then
(04:03):
you know, it could be the first tea and then
it's like, you've never held a golf club before, and
I just couldn't ever wrap my head around that. And
so I decided to lean into doing social media work
for just a year or two to be able to,
you know, then maybe take a break of that and
go back to pro golf. In about a year of
just doing social media, I was like, I will never
ever go back to playing golf COMPETITIVI.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Because that just blew up, blew up. For your congrats
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Just better suited.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
So what held me back in playing professional golf actually
helped me in my social media career, where I think
I was very vulnerable, and you know, competition was hard
for me, and that vulnerability helped me build a really
great community. And so I'm just much better suited to
be doing this and I still get to stay in golf,
which I'm so passionate about. But I just was never
meant to play professional golf.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, he Hey, listen, we're here hanging with Page Sperandic
Kavino and Rich. What I love about what you do
is you don't shy away from the obvious.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You're good at golf. What are you talking? A good
looking woman and.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Like a lot of times, it's like a hesitancy where
people like, well, I don't know if I want to
lean it here, Listen, I was blessed with good looks
and I know how to play sports, and I know sports.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Why not marry the two? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I mean when I first started doing this, I again
had no idea what it would morph into, and I
was taking a more traditional route and it was so funny.
I posted a picture and I was wearing a turtleneck
and someone called me out for my wardrobe and I
was like, this isn't about my wardrobe. You're just putting
me in this box. And I got so sick of them.
(05:27):
I was like, you know what, I'm gonna lean in
and I'm gonna do that the best I possibly can.
So my social media is morphed over the years, and
it's really become this like parody of how people view me,
and if you follow me, you're kind of in on
the bit, and it's like if you know, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And I have so much fun.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
With it and I'm very self aware and I just
feel like there's so much negativity online that I want
people to come to my page and have fun and
smile and not think that I'm like trying to preach
something or do this.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Or do that, like you with the first like, I
feel like because of you, there's so many like I
have buddies. My whole algorithm is like hot girls golfing me.
You started sort of like a genre.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
No, I mean I paved a path for so many
not even just for the women, but for also my
male counterparts to be able to do this. I was
the first one to be able to monetize your social
media in a way in the golf industry that no
one had ever really done before. And sometimes I don't
always get credit for that because again of like how
(06:26):
I've built my brand in it, because it is more
kind of silly and not as like in your face
golf all the time. But I'm really proud of that,
and it's so cool that so many women now have
an opportunity to make, you know, a career.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Have you met guys that are intimidated that you are
better than them at golf, because there's a lot of
guys that would have a hard time like gosh, it's
better than me?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Like is that?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Have you encountered many of men that are insecure about
your skills? You know?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
It's funny because a lot of people, because I am
so public and I say, oh, I feel that playing
golf professionally.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
That they think that I'm a bad golfer.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And so when I meet a lot of people, they're
not nervous that they're playing with me because they think
I'm good. They think that I'm going to be bad
and I'll I'll make contact on the first show and they're.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Like, oh no, oh my gosh, and like that's the
fun part.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It's like, I I still can play at a you know,
a good level, and I'm confident in my skills, and
but most people just don't realize that I, you know,
can break seventy.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You could hustle so many people.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I'm doing it online. I mean that's the whole correct,
that's the big hustle.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
By the way, Ithoran, I'm the Cavino and Rich show,
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Uh, show me your tips. You're not shying away from.
Like I said, everything's like you said, if you're in
on it, you're in on it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
When you talk about gimme props prop bets. Looking at
Super Bowl fifty nine, are there, bet you're already eyeing
up with with people you're talking about or no?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do you like some of the prop I love them.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They have the national anthem, the gator grade poor is
always my favorite of what color it's going to be,
I mean, always the fun prop bets. But what we
decided to do with Gimme props is people were writing
in bets that they want to see me attempt. So
the first one, the first episode that launched on February second,
our YouTube channel under lost Pages is dirty Balls.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So again having fun and it's uh, by the way,
when she said that, she looked at you, I want
you to get rich.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
She said dirty balls and just just so you know.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
To clear and so I have to clean golf balls,
dirty golf balls and a certain amount of time. And
then the second one was a double stacked burger and
I have to finish it in under five bytes.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, yeah, I'm supposed to be fun.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Supposed to be fun.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Do you ever think about how you really just this is?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I think about my digital footprint. I like shiver sometimes.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But there are times we think like we're faking life,
Like we talk about radio in sports and nonsense.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Really you are like people are betting on a cheeseburger.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Bytes hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
And it's so funny because you know, I hear people
in my industry and they're like, oh, my job is
so you know, difficult, and I'm like, we have the
best job ever. Like, if you talk to someone in
the real world with like an actually challenging job, it
humbles you real quick. And I'm so blessed to be
able to do what I do every single day. And
I never take that for granted. And I'm so appreciative
(09:16):
of my community that allows.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Me to eat cheeseburgers, Like, no, that's job.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Ever, when you walk around like a media row like
this or a big event like the super Bowl, this
is your demo.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So do you feel that everyone's looking where you're going?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like, like I wise to that, but I saw you
walk this way in every radio booth is like he
is that page?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Like oh really, yeah? Did you get that vibe? No?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I think I'm just so desensitizing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It happened on the golf course. It probably happens all
the time.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Well, you know, it's funny because a lot of people think, oh,
you must be like really confident, and I like, at
my core, I'm like deeply insecure, and so sometimes when
people look at me, I'm like, is there is there
a makeup on my teeth? Or like, is there something wrong?
And so when people are like looking, I'm like, oh
my god, like.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
There's something wrong with me, and I don't.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Think about it in like ever a positive way in
my life.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They're trying to read your shirt. That's what it says.
I just hope both teams have fun. Have fun again.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Page bread it was, I mean it was only that's.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Really tiny print, right, so you put it on. I
gotta ask you this.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You're talking about how great the career is, right, but
there has to be a weird side or tell us
how you balance out the fact that everybody wants to
know everything about you because everything's so public, right, and
they want to see what you're doing at home, and
they want to see all your videos and everything. How
do you balance any privacy when you're so public all
the time.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
When I first started doing this, I was an open
book and I would say everything that just you know,
popped into my head and I realized, like, that's probably
not the best thing that you could be doing. And
so I still want to keep my authenticity and be
genuine because that's how you connect with your audience. But
there's just certain things that I decided that I'll never
talk about, which is like friends, family, any relationships.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's just not worth it.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
And so when you go on to any of my
social media platforms, it's me and me only because I
signed up for this. But a lot of people in
my life, especially like my best friends, they don't even
have social media, and so I don't want to subject
them to There's so much good, but there is also
some bad and I've come to terms with that. But
that's not a life for everyone, and so yeah, there
is a balance, but like keeping that part of my
(11:23):
life separate, and I think it's also helped with the
hate too, because it's a persona that I play. It's
a character and it's not really me or my real life.
And I think that separation is it's my most confident, sexiest,
most playful side of me. The person I want to
be is who I show online. It's who I like
(11:45):
strive to be that confident.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's like Larry David said, he wants to be who
he is on Courage, but in real life he just can't.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And that platform, the platform allows you expects you to
do that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah at this point.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, I mean because at the end of the day,
it needs to be anentertaining right, And so like if
I'm just sitting home in sweats and doing nothing and
like reading, people are not going to find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
How do you handle hate?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I mean, it's easy to say I just ignore it all,
but there'll be times we'll do a show or an
event we're like, hey, that was good, And for every
nice person there's an a hole that's saying some stuff.
Do you just totally block it all out? Or there
times where you're like, yeah, people are pretty mean. Like
social media is not a nice place.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Again, I'm like so desensitized to it now, but I
will say that, like I've noticed that the things that
people say that bother me the most are insecurities that
I have with myself. And so you do have to
It's gonna be cheesy, but like you have to take
that journey of like self love and like figuring out
why those comments bother you. So for me, like I
feel like I failed at pro golf, and so when
(12:46):
people criticize my golf game early on in my career,
that really ate at me because I was insecure about
that and now again, it's a persona. It's this kind
of character that I play up and being able to separate,
like what I do from who I am. And it's
hard because as a content creator, you are the brand,
and so when someone is criticizing you, they're criticizing the
(13:08):
brand or this version that they think they know of you.
But I can't sit down and have an hour long
conversation with every single person I meet, and I feel
if I did, I would change or sway they're maybe
not Maybe I'm just you know, very unlikable and like
everything that people say. But like, once you get to
know someone, then you can make a full, you know,
judgment on who they actually are.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
And you just won't get that opportunity with so many people.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Paigeperanic, I'm sure you get a lot of hate, but
you get a lot of love too. You have eleven
million followers across platforms. You're a celebrity, you said, social
media celebrity.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
However you want to put it any counter? Do you
put that number of its true? Though, that's a lot
of people. Million, Yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Cover of Sports Illustrated, you know, Illustrated Model, all that
stuff I wanted to ask you. Obviously, a lot of
men are reaching out to you all the time. Let's
talk about celebrity guys and after do they hit you
up constantly? Are you've always seen it? You don't have
to give us names, but it has to be a
constant thing. Yeah, is that fair to assume.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah, a lot of baseball players and hockey players because
they love golf, and so that's always like a pretty
easy transition. And then some random people sometimes and I'm
like that was really cool that, like.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
They right, Okay, it's like I.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Just don't I throughout all of this, like I can't
believe I'm doing this, and so it's so weird to me.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So you notice that though, right, it's not like you
just see that, dude and you're like, yeah, whatever, you
notice it and you're.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Like, okay, interesting.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I ever respond, though, I ever know, because it's I don't.
You don't meet your heroes.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
That's what I've found out in this industry that most
of the time I'm often disappointed, and so I just
want to if I really respect them or like them,
I kind of want to keep it as I envisioned
them in my head.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You don't want to know that they're really a creepo. No,
but maybe they're not.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I mean, you got to respect sometimes people shooting their shot.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
They're a fan and like a and I'll.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Never like I I don't like when girls drop names
or make it into a big thing, because that's like,
it's disrespectful, Like it takes a.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Lot of like, oh I know what you mean, Like
someone would screenshot it and throw it out yeah, publicly.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah, I think that's so cringe. I agree, Yeah, because
it takes a lot of courage.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
To like slide into someone's DMS and then for that
then to be blasted online.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I'm actually I'm with you on Matt. Yeah, I think
that's a weak look. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
By the way, when you when you're around here, are
you a big football fan? Are you more like what
besides golf? What are your sports that you actually enjoy?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
So my aunt played freshl tennis. My dad played football
at pitt when they won the national championship. My mom
was afecial ballet dancer. My sister ran track at Stanford,
and so we have most of the sports covered big
sports family. Both my parents are from Pittsburgh, so I
bleed black and gold and so always been a big
(15:54):
Pittsburgh fan. But I just love sports. I it's just
it's the best.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Because you have eleven million followers and people know who
Paige Sporadic is. Do you have the ability to be like, hey,
I want to go meet Russell Wilson. I want to
you know, you.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Know, coach Tomlin, Like have you infiltrated that world at all?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Or no?
Speaker 6 (16:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I again, like I just have such imposter syndrome that
I don't even ask or try to do or facilitate
those things. Like I probably could have taken advantage of
like opportunities and I just have never done it. But
I love Mike Tomline so cool. I think it maybe
it's time the Steelers has done But like I've always
(16:33):
loved him as a coach.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
When he finds out who'll be sligning into your DMS next.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Day, hateful, Like, hey, wait, before all this happened for
you and the GOULF, what was like your last regular job?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Okay, so I this is gonna be crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
My parents always said that if you gave your all
to sports, that you'd never had to work a job,
And so I was able to commit to sports get
a full ride scholarship, and so I never had to work.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
And then right out of this no, I.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Worked at my sister's frozen yogurt shop for like a
week and then I couldn't figure out the cash register,
so I just started like giving people free yogurt, and
I got fired by my sister. But I know, I've
never worked like a real job, which I'm lucky that
I fell into what I do today. But there are
so many college athletes who are not able to get
(17:26):
internships or not able to get jobs, and they're thrown
into the workforce with really no skills other than what
they learned through athletics. And it's actually a pretty big problem.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Wow. I do tell my kids.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I tell my daughter, I'm like, if you get a scholarship,
all this money dad saving, you could use it for
whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So scholarships are a big deal. That time.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Story because you know, you said you didn't really have
to work, but what you've done is you've built an
empire here. I'm not downplaying that, but she did get
fired by her sisters.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, past that, I know.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I don't even have a college degree because this happened
in my senior year, and so I wasn't able to graduate,
and so I really had to like fully lean into
this or else, like I mean would have Mountain.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Let me ask you one more thing, Paige Sperannic here
with Kevin on Rich Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Let's say you're on a date, hang with friends.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, you're going mini golf, top golf, any of these things?
Are you Are you able to check out and be
casual or you like looking at people's grips, people's swings, like,
are you able to step aside from golf?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Funny enough, I am terrible at mini golf, terrible. I
am so bad at it. I don't know why. It's
like it's the same thing. I can't figure it out out.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Of a windmill or clown's mouth, and you're off, Oh,
I just lose it.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Like my mind goes in wild places and I just
can't figure it out. And they're like, we'll bank it
off here, and I'm like, that's not real golf, Like
I can't do that.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
No.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I try to have as much fun as possible. But
if someone's asking for, you know, swing tips, I will
always help them.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And my last question again, Page Peranic, you said you
like to have fun aside from golf. What's like your
perfect night? What do you like to do? Do you like
to binge out on shows? You like to be lazy?
You like, like, what's your thing?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I get home?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah, it's so funny because I the persona that you
know has kind of been created online is people think
it's like fun party girl, like doing all these cool
events with like a listers and athletes. And my go
to night is home with my dog eating ice cream.
Like what binge watching a show or reading a book,
(19:25):
and like that is what I love top time.

Rich was uber giddy in that interview, and the reason
(22:03):
is underscore Page dot Renee. She's got four million followers
on ig over eleven million followers on social media. She's
a looker, she leans into it. She was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Listen, I was trying to get at the fact that
I love when talented, good looking women in sports lean
into it because it's like, the reality is what do
men like sports and women? So to pretend that's not
the case is silly. I love that she leans into it.
You know who else leans into their looks? Isaac lohen Kron.
Let's go for an update.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
What's up? I love leans into those looks. What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Do you know it?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
It transcends the radio airwaves? He leans so rough elbows
upside to side.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, didn't think I knew that?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Did You got no?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
But you impressed me always.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
What can I say?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Guys?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
We will start with a story already out of Philadelphia,
this one not involving the Eagles. It's in the NBA
where the Philadelphia is seventy six years and I was
a short time ago that Joel Embid will be available
tonight against the Dallas Mavericks after missing fifteen games due
to a spring foot and knee swelling. Meanwhile, today we
got to hear verbally from Luka Doncic for the first
(23:20):
time since the Big trade as the Los Angeles Lakers
held his introductory news conference.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I mean, everybody was surprised, so you can imagine how
surprised I was. I was almost aslip so when I
got a call, I had to check it was it
was April first. I didn't really believe it at first,
and it was. It was a big shock. It was
hard moments for me. It was it was home.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Meanwhile, today, New Dallas maverick Anthony Davis described his reaction
to the trade.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Everyone else, like I said, I didn't know.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
I was actually at home about to watch a movie
with my wife and I got the phone call. So
I had no idea what to me Now is you know,
I'm kind of over into on a getting ready to
play without.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
No word how the movie came out. Anyway, Finally, guys.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
What movie was?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
That's why? Is it? The new Camerads Jmi FOXX movie?
Speaker 8 (24:09):
That's That's what I wanted to know. Okay, it'll be
hard pressed to beat any given Sunday, well, speaking of
any given Sunday. Finally, in the NFL, regarding the perception
that the Kansas City Chiefs purposely get favorable calls, NFL
Referees Association Executive director Scott Green issued a statement today saying,
(24:30):
and I quote, it is insulting and preposterous to hear
conspiracy theories that somehow seventeen officiating crews consisting of one
hundred and thirty eight officials are colluding to assist one
team unquote. To find out how that statement went over
with the public, we checked the comments section and at Underscore,
(24:55):
mister c Underscore commented, quote, not all refs are in
on it. They change the outcome of several games a
year with key calls or no calls in critical moments.
We all know it, and to pretend it doesn't happen
is ridiculous unquote. Then finally, at Vista Underscore Test two
(25:16):
added quote, this is like a cop pulling over a
pothead for speeding, and the first thing he says is,
there's nothing illegal in my car, sir unquote. Guys, the
key to knowing that you're getting a great perspective on
social media is if the username has at least one
(25:36):
underscore in it.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Back to you, guys, no doubt you always to hear
from you, And by the way, it isn't Isaac. You
gotta admit it's pretty funny that they even Roger Goodell
and people have to address this.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's wild to me.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
It's unprecedented that the executive director of the Referees Association
has ever issued a statement. The NBA Referees Association has
a notable presence on social media, but not in the NFL.
But you know what will add fuel to it is
if the Chiefs benefit again on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
I know.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
You know what's interesting to me is that, as far
as I know, aren't referees in the NFL, unlike other
sports where in the off season they're judges and lawyers
and make you like men of honor.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
No is that's sort of the difference too.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't know, I know things about that, but that's
bs men or men men of honor.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Look what happened in the NBA. You know, you can't
just credit that. If it happened in the NBA, It's
possible anywhere. You know, just because of what they do
or whatever doesn't mean they're great guys. I'm not buying
into it. I'm just saying that doesn't really hold a
lot of weight with me.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah. I like you very much, buddy, appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
We're live from New Orleans, Cavino and Rich and if
you just joined us, well two things tomorrow. We feel
in for Colin cow Herd, in for Colin on the Herd,
and we're still doing our regular show. So join us,
call in, get involved and stick around because lots of
people stopping by the show live, lots of interviews. And
if you just joined us now, we had Kurt Shilling
(27:06):
on before, and that's always interesting for me too because
while I'm a big base we're both big baseball fans
out but you always hear, you know, rumblings about Kurt
Shilling and the type of guy he is, and everything
couldn't have been cooler. I found it extremely charming, And
I think the lesson there is you got to always
make your own opinions for yourself, right, even if that's
(27:27):
the problem.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I think a lot of times these days is that
if you disagree with people on a couple issues here
or there, like you discount that person.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You don't care about his political beliefs. The guy was
a great ball player, he's fun to talk to you exactly.
And we just were joined by Paige Sporadic, the sports
illustrated model, pro golfer turned influencer and that was a
lot of fun too. So again, catch it on the
podcast and thanks for being here super Bowl week with us.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Because of Super Bowl Week, obviously everybody's talking Eagles Chiefs
and something you promised, something we promised yesterday was what's
a bigger motivator? Everybody keeps talking about the three peat.
I've heard nobody except for me, bring up the fact, well,
what about the revenge game for the Eagles? I mean,
(28:14):
I get it, it's an obvious, but that's not a
motivation that should be talked about.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'm not trying to shut you down by any means.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't care because you can't because I find it
to be a motivator. That's my opinion that you're gonna
like stop me from believing that good.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
There's so many players that sit there and watch themselves
lose a game and they're watching another team celebrate, and
they sit there and they take it in. They say
the same thing all the time. I want to remember
this because I never want to feel it again. You
don't think that's a major motivator for Jalen Hurts and
his Eagles to not want to lose again. Bro, I'm
not saying that makes it an unbeatable motivator. But that
(28:51):
is damn well a great motivator. In fact, that would
make them hungrier than a team that won twice already.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
How do you say essence Fanish again?
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Actually, yeah, it means no. I think it's Rico Davis.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
That's sure.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Cabasa is so up your movie.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I'm not trying to shoot you down or anything, but
people who lack are motivated more than.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
People that have.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
And guess what, these Chiefs have two super Bowl championships
in the past two years. So to downplay the hunger
an appetite of an Eagles team that lost to this
team is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
That's not playing the heart of a champion because the
challenger was beat that's horse crap.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I'll give you're not a bad team. They got Saquon Barkley.
Now you don't think that they're leaning into that. You
maybe crazy, Maybe you need to listen to it. Who's
more motivated in the boxing ring the guy that's fighting
for something or the guy that was raised with a
silver spoon in his mouth. The guy that wants something
because he lacks it is always more motivated than the
guy that already has it. And guess what, the chiefs
(29:54):
already have it.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
There's one there's one caveat one rub to your stupid thought,
and it's about a savor. The boxing ring and the
UFC octagon are different. That is a one on one sport.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Some guy that you know was broken, came from a
small little village somewhere, might have heart, might have a
you know, more motivation. There's fifty plus guys on this team.
And when you say someone wants it more to motivated,
what's the greater motivator?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well, and I'll tell you straight up, there's another company
here that let me go. If you don't think that
that's greater motivation for me to kick their ass, then
you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It doesn't matter what motivates you, it's how it motivates you.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I think what Jalen Hurts experienced definitely motivates him, maybe
even a.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Little more than Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Every time there's a big maybe every game seven. You
can't act like you're so certain. What's a bigger motivator?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Every end of a World Series, NBA Championship, NHL Stanley Cup,
super Bowl, there's always a couple players on the losing
team and Danny Becker. There's always a couple of players
that like let the confetti fall in their head. Well,
there's always some clown on the top row of the dugout.
It was my boy Soto last year. There's sitting in
the top row.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Like, dude, I get it. You're no more motivated than
the guy that walked back in the locker room. Didn't.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Don't give me these theatrics that oh Jalen Hurts really
don't get in two years ago.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It doesn't guarantee that they're gonna win. But if you
don't think that hunger is greater, then you've never been without.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
Okay, rich let me ask you this question really quick.
What if you had a mansion already and you were
just striving to add on to the mansion as far
as the guy that wants it, or you're in a
one bedroom, crappy apartment in Resida, California.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
That but that I get what you're saying on paper,
that's a beautiful argument on paper, guys, But in reality,
sometimes so much is.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Better and and like, I don't care. That is the reality.
But you're not. We're not saying who's better. We're saying,
what's the bigger motivator.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
The guy that.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Wants that mansion's more motivated than the guy that has it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You don't think Mahomes wants a three p You don't
think think that rich person is like I got a
stay ready, now hold on.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's not about Mahomes not being motivated.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I think people are more focused on the three peat
and motivation for the three peat than a motivation of
Jalen Hurts wanting to revenge that loss.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No one's talking about that. You don't think.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Revenge is a great motivator, I promise you every day
I wake up with that motivation revenge every body every
day thinking I can't wait for everybody to kiss my ass.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It's a great motivator, dude. And I don't think anyone's
talking about that enough.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
I just feel like revenge in sports is a great thought.
But I think the reality is Tella will always win.
And to say that someone's not motivated when they're an
elite level, it doesn't matter if they won zero times
or try to go for a three so much.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Is straight better.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I get it that you're right about that, and I
think the other question here is, well, maybe that extra motivation, right,
that extra I gotta win.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I can't lose again. I can't. That could take them
out of their focus, out of their game.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Where Mahomes is cool, collected because he's been there, done So.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
You're telling me, then, well, hold on, I should be
excited because Juan Soto stood on the top row of
the dugout last year and the Yankees lost the World Series.
He should be fired up going into the season as a.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Met absolutely think you know, hey, he wants to lose again.
World Series of busts.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
So you think he wants to lose again.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It's not about me being right, it's about you downplaying
this motivating factor.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
All right. You give me a headache. I give you
a headache every day.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
Now, this is a good debate. And I haven't heard
anybody else talking about this.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yea, everybody's talking about the three rep.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
No one's talking about this guy, you know, avenging the
major loss that probably haunts him every day.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
You know what, hold on, we'll wrap. We got more time.

Colin on the Herd and of course.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Our regular show. So we're doing five hours of radio
from Radio Row here.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
We're working twice. Yeah, we're working twice tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
But again, lots of guests, lots of people stopping by,
so definitely join us.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Manyana here from New Orleans. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Now, any final thoughts on anything we saw last night
at opening night or do you want to continue arguing
about motivation because I feel like we're going to bang
our heads together. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It's the fact that you downplay the flip side. Everybody
can see the side that you're talking about. Why is
everybody ignoring the other side. There's so many people that
are motivated because they want things, because they felt what
it was like to lose. You know, after a while,
Mahomes and Travis and those guys, they're just sitting around
(36:00):
to win, and that's when they get punched in the
face by a team that is really driven to not
lose again, So it could happen. I don't understand why
nobody's talking about that side of motivation. No, I again,
Jalen hurts his motivating. You're out of your mind. With
that said, he knows that sting of losing.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
If I were you DraftKings sportsbook on you look at
a prop bet for Jalen Hurts MVP if he's been there,
got burned.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
And again with Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
That's what I was gonna say, Cove. I think that's
the difference between this matchup. The last time these two
teams met each other in the Super Bowl, Saquan was
not there running the football for the Eagles.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
The Chiefs defense amazing. Can they stop Saquon?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Daddy?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I was gonna say no until until I heard that
you bumped into Chris Jones at CBS and yeah, you
gave him a pep talk.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
That's a true story. Yep, that's a true story.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
She's like, Yo, you gotta stop Saquon. And now I'm like,
there's no way Saquon is gonna go for a hunt. Though, yes,
christ Jones got a pep talk from Danny.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
The other night, I was on Canal Street here in
New Orleans and I'm in CVS late night and the
Chief had just arrived a few hours before that.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
And I'm standing in the aisle there and Chris Jones
is right right next to me.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Did he forget his toothpaste on it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
I didn't.
Speaker 11 (37:10):
So I chatted with him and you know, yeah, you
saw the tears you know, in the in the championship
game and Mars, so I was.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Hoping mid conversation he wasn't going to burst into tears.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It's funny, Danny did say. Chris Jones said, if I
wasn't in the game, I'd definitely come on your show.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
So that's that is cool.
Speaker 10 (37:26):
He was.
Speaker 11 (37:26):
He was a nice guy, by the way. Did he
look gigant, Yes, he was three times the size of
any other customer in the CBS here.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
You probably saw had him, you know, above the shelves
and everything, and you know he's an intimidating fellow.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah, and he makes that Chiefs defense go, well.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Hey, thank you for hanging with us today.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
A lot of fun and it's only Tuesday, Like you said,

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, well you look familiar.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Yeah, oh yeah, if I'm on a golf course, it
makes sense, yes, but like walking around here anywhere. But
I have the best job ever because like I can
be invisible in real life because social media fame.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Isn't real, So it's like I have that life and
then I have my real life.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You got to tell us about that again, Page Brannic.
You definitely know her again, give me prompts. Is the
new show on Sports Grit. She's a former pro golfer
turned social media superstar. Tell us about that decision, how
it happened. Was it hard to say, well, I'm going
to give up pro golf and focus on this but
still golf like, tell us about the journey.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Yeah, So I was a competitive gymnast before I switched
over to golf, and I really wanted to be a
pro athlete, and I thought that I would just be
really well suited to golf, and so I did junior
golf and then played D one golf and then two
years professionally. But that first year it's financially straining and
I didn't have any support and it just kind of
(01:50):
happened to me where someone wrote an article about me.
I went viral overnight. I went from having five hundred
followers two hundred thousand followers, and companies were and at
the time, this is almost ten years ago now, there
was no path to be a social media influencer or
content creator and especially in golf or in sports, and
so I was like, oh, I can use this to
(02:12):
my advantage to finance my golf career. And that's really
how it started. And after really like a year of
trying to balance both, which was really hard, and I
was also dealing with a lot of criticism of you know,
getting a sponsor invite or just what people said was
like special treatment in the golf industry because of my
(02:33):
following or my appearance, and it was just too hard
to handle. And I was never cut out for pro golf.
I had the physical skills to do it, but oh
my god, I'm such a head case. It was bad.
It was really bad.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Got to the most the criticism, or you know, I
think that.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Like coming from a gymnastics background, where you need to
be perfect and you're striving for perfection, and then you
go to golf, which is the exact opposite. There's no
such thing as perfect, and really you look like this
throughout your career and the highs never really outweighed the lows.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
For me, There's just.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Something about golf, and I don't know if you you've
played it, but it just makes you feel so small
about yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
For that reason, Yeah, I have not because everyone's like,
you're gonna You're gonna love it one day, right, and
then the minute you feel like I'm getting pretty good,
then you feel like you suck.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
It just eats you alive.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And especially when you're trying to do it as a living,
which most people like that's the dream job. And I'm like, well,
you know, especially for the women. And I was playing
on the mini tours. I played around twenty five tournaments.
I had a win and it barely broke even for
the year, And so you're grinding and you don't have support,
and it's just a really hard lifestyle. So there's so
much pressure on you and then me just kind of
(03:41):
being a people pleaser and wanting to do a good job.
And also it's a really unique sport too, where you know,
my parents always told me, if you work hard, you
will be successful. If you do everything that you need
to do, you will see results. And golf is like, nah, no,
you won't. You can eat right, you can, you know,
do everything, have healthy habits and work around the gym
and work card, you know, on your practice, and then
(04:03):
you know, it could be the first tea and then
it's like, you've never held a golf club before, and
I just couldn't ever wrap my head around that. And
so I decided to lean into doing social media work
for just a year or two to be able to,
you know, then maybe take a break of that and
go back to pro golf. In about a year of
just doing social media, I was like, I will never
ever go back to playing golf COMPETITIVI.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Because that just blew up, blew up. For your congrats
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Just better suited.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
So what held me back in playing professional golf actually
helped me in my social media career, where I think
I was very vulnerable, and you know, competition was hard
for me, and that vulnerability helped me build a really
great community. And so I'm just much better suited to
be doing this and I still get to stay in golf,
which I'm so passionate about. But I just was never
meant to play professional golf.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, he Hey, listen, we're here hanging with Page Sperandic
Kavino and Rich. What I love about what you do
is you don't shy away from the obvious.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You're good at golf. What are you talking? A good
looking woman and.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Like a lot of times, it's like a hesitancy where
people like, well, I don't know if I want to
lean it here, Listen, I was blessed with good looks
and I know how to play sports, and I know sports.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Why not marry the two? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I mean when I first started doing this, I again
had no idea what it would morph into, and I
was taking a more traditional route and it was so funny.
I posted a picture and I was wearing a turtleneck
and someone called me out for my wardrobe and I
was like, this isn't about my wardrobe. You're just putting
me in this box. And I got so sick of them.
(05:27):
I was like, you know what, I'm gonna lean in
and I'm gonna do that the best I possibly can.
So my social media is morphed over the years, and
it's really become this like parody of how people view me,
and if you follow me, you're kind of in on
the bit, and it's like if you know, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And I have so much fun.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
With it and I'm very self aware and I just
feel like there's so much negativity online that I want
people to come to my page and have fun and
smile and not think that I'm like trying to preach
something or do this.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Or do that, like you with the first like, I
feel like because of you, there's so many like I
have buddies. My whole algorithm is like hot girls golfing me.
You started sort of like a genre.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
No, I mean I paved a path for so many
not even just for the women, but for also my
male counterparts to be able to do this. I was
the first one to be able to monetize your social
media in a way in the golf industry that no
one had ever really done before. And sometimes I don't
always get credit for that because again of like how
(06:26):
I've built my brand in it, because it is more
kind of silly and not as like in your face
golf all the time. But I'm really proud of that,
and it's so cool that so many women now have
an opportunity to make, you know, a career.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Have you met guys that are intimidated that you are
better than them at golf, because there's a lot of
guys that would have a hard time like gosh, it's
better than me?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Like is that?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Have you encountered many of men that are insecure about
your skills? You know?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
It's funny because a lot of people, because I am
so public and I say, oh, I feel that playing
golf professionally.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
That they think that I'm a bad golfer.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And so when I meet a lot of people, they're
not nervous that they're playing with me because they think
I'm good. They think that I'm going to be bad
and I'll I'll make contact on the first show and they're.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Like, oh no, oh my gosh, and like that's the
fun part.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It's like, I I still can play at a you know,
a good level, and I'm confident in my skills, and
but most people just don't realize that I, you know,
can break seventy.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You could hustle so many people.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I'm doing it online. I mean that's the whole correct,
that's the big hustle.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
By the way, Ithoran, I'm the Cavino and Rich show,
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Uh, show me your tips. You're not shying away from.
Like I said, everything's like you said, if you're in
on it, you're in on it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
When you talk about gimme props prop bets. Looking at
Super Bowl fifty nine, are there, bet you're already eyeing
up with with people you're talking about or no?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do you like some of the prop I love them.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They have the national anthem, the gator grade poor is
always my favorite of what color it's going to be,
I mean, always the fun prop bets. But what we
decided to do with Gimme props is people were writing
in bets that they want to see me attempt. So
the first one, the first episode that launched on February second,
our YouTube channel under lost Pages is dirty Balls.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So again having fun and it's uh, by the way,
when she said that, she looked at you, I want
you to get rich.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
She said dirty balls and just just so you know.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
To clear and so I have to clean golf balls,
dirty golf balls and a certain amount of time. And
then the second one was a double stacked burger and
I have to finish it in under five bytes.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, yeah, I'm supposed to be fun.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Supposed to be fun.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Do you ever think about how you really just this is?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I think about my digital footprint. I like shiver sometimes.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But there are times we think like we're faking life,
Like we talk about radio in sports and nonsense.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Really you are like people are betting on a cheeseburger.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Bytes hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
And it's so funny because you know, I hear people
in my industry and they're like, oh, my job is
so you know, difficult, and I'm like, we have the
best job ever. Like, if you talk to someone in
the real world with like an actually challenging job, it
humbles you real quick. And I'm so blessed to be
able to do what I do every single day. And
I never take that for granted. And I'm so appreciative
(09:16):
of my community that allows.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Me to eat cheeseburgers, Like, no, that's job.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Ever, when you walk around like a media row like
this or a big event like the super Bowl, this
is your demo.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So do you feel that everyone's looking where you're going?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like, like I wise to that, but I saw you
walk this way in every radio booth is like he
is that page?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Like oh really, yeah? Did you get that vibe? No?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I think I'm just so desensitizing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It happened on the golf course. It probably happens all
the time.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Well, you know, it's funny because a lot of people think, oh,
you must be like really confident, and I like, at
my core, I'm like deeply insecure, and so sometimes when
people look at me, I'm like, is there is there
a makeup on my teeth? Or like, is there something wrong?
And so when people are like looking, I'm like, oh
my god, like.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
There's something wrong with me, and I don't.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Think about it in like ever a positive way in
my life.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They're trying to read your shirt. That's what it says.
I just hope both teams have fun. Have fun again.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Page bread it was, I mean it was only that's.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Really tiny print, right, so you put it on. I
gotta ask you this.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You're talking about how great the career is, right, but
there has to be a weird side or tell us
how you balance out the fact that everybody wants to
know everything about you because everything's so public, right, and
they want to see what you're doing at home, and
they want to see all your videos and everything. How
do you balance any privacy when you're so public all
the time.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
When I first started doing this, I was an open
book and I would say everything that just you know,
popped into my head and I realized, like, that's probably
not the best thing that you could be doing. And
so I still want to keep my authenticity and be
genuine because that's how you connect with your audience. But
there's just certain things that I decided that I'll never
talk about, which is like friends, family, any relationships.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's just not worth it.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
And so when you go on to any of my
social media platforms, it's me and me only because I
signed up for this. But a lot of people in
my life, especially like my best friends, they don't even
have social media, and so I don't want to subject
them to There's so much good, but there is also
some bad and I've come to terms with that. But
that's not a life for everyone, and so yeah, there
is a balance, but like keeping that part of my
(11:23):
life separate, and I think it's also helped with the
hate too, because it's a persona that I play. It's
a character and it's not really me or my real life.
And I think that separation is it's my most confident, sexiest,
most playful side of me. The person I want to
be is who I show online. It's who I like
(11:45):
strive to be that confident.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's like Larry David said, he wants to be who
he is on Courage, but in real life he just can't.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And that platform, the platform allows you expects you to
do that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah at this point.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, I mean because at the end of the day,
it needs to be anentertaining right, And so like if
I'm just sitting home in sweats and doing nothing and
like reading, people are not going to find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
How do you handle hate?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I mean, it's easy to say I just ignore it all,
but there'll be times we'll do a show or an
event we're like, hey, that was good, And for every
nice person there's an a hole that's saying some stuff.
Do you just totally block it all out? Or there
times where you're like, yeah, people are pretty mean. Like
social media is not a nice place.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Again, I'm like so desensitized to it now, but I
will say that, like I've noticed that the things that
people say that bother me the most are insecurities that
I have with myself. And so you do have to
It's gonna be cheesy, but like you have to take
that journey of like self love and like figuring out
why those comments bother you. So for me, like I
feel like I failed at pro golf, and so when
(12:46):
people criticize my golf game early on in my career,
that really ate at me because I was insecure about
that and now again, it's a persona. It's this kind
of character that I play up and being able to separate,
like what I do from who I am. And it's
hard because as a content creator, you are the brand,
and so when someone is criticizing you, they're criticizing the
(13:08):
brand or this version that they think they know of you.
But I can't sit down and have an hour long
conversation with every single person I meet, and I feel
if I did, I would change or sway they're maybe
not Maybe I'm just you know, very unlikable and like
everything that people say. But like, once you get to
know someone, then you can make a full, you know,
judgment on who they actually are.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
And you just won't get that opportunity with so many people.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Paigeperanic, I'm sure you get a lot of hate, but
you get a lot of love too. You have eleven
million followers across platforms. You're a celebrity, you said, social
media celebrity.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
However you want to put it any counter? Do you
put that number of its true? Though, that's a lot
of people. Million, Yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Cover of Sports Illustrated, you know, Illustrated Model, all that
stuff I wanted to ask you. Obviously, a lot of
men are reaching out to you all the time. Let's
talk about celebrity guys and after do they hit you
up constantly? Are you've always seen it? You don't have
to give us names, but it has to be a
constant thing. Yeah, is that fair to assume.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah, a lot of baseball players and hockey players because
they love golf, and so that's always like a pretty
easy transition. And then some random people sometimes and I'm
like that was really cool that, like.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
They right, Okay, it's like I.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Just don't I throughout all of this, like I can't
believe I'm doing this, and so it's so weird to me.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So you notice that though, right, it's not like you
just see that, dude and you're like, yeah, whatever, you
notice it and you're.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Like, okay, interesting.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I ever respond, though, I ever know, because it's I don't.
You don't meet your heroes.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
That's what I've found out in this industry that most
of the time I'm often disappointed, and so I just
want to if I really respect them or like them,
I kind of want to keep it as I envisioned
them in my head.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You don't want to know that they're really a creepo. No,
but maybe they're not.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I mean, you got to respect sometimes people shooting their shot.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
They're a fan and like a and I'll.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Never like I I don't like when girls drop names
or make it into a big thing, because that's like,
it's disrespectful, Like it takes a.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Lot of like, oh I know what you mean, Like
someone would screenshot it and throw it out yeah, publicly.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah, I think that's so cringe. I agree, Yeah, because
it takes a lot of courage.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
To like slide into someone's DMS and then for that
then to be blasted online.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I'm actually I'm with you on Matt. Yeah, I think
that's a weak look. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
By the way, when you when you're around here, are
you a big football fan? Are you more like what
besides golf? What are your sports that you actually enjoy?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
So my aunt played freshl tennis. My dad played football
at pitt when they won the national championship. My mom
was afecial ballet dancer. My sister ran track at Stanford,
and so we have most of the sports covered big
sports family. Both my parents are from Pittsburgh, so I
bleed black and gold and so always been a big
(15:54):
Pittsburgh fan. But I just love sports. I it's just
it's the best.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Because you have eleven million followers and people know who
Paige Sporadic is. Do you have the ability to be like, hey,
I want to go meet Russell Wilson. I want to
you know, you.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Know, coach Tomlin, Like have you infiltrated that world at all?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Or no?
Speaker 6 (16:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I again, like I just have such imposter syndrome that
I don't even ask or try to do or facilitate
those things. Like I probably could have taken advantage of
like opportunities and I just have never done it. But
I love Mike Tomline so cool. I think it maybe
it's time the Steelers has done But like I've always
(16:33):
loved him as a coach.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
When he finds out who'll be sligning into your DMS next.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Day, hateful, Like, hey, wait, before all this happened for
you and the GOULF, what was like your last regular job?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Okay, so I this is gonna be crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
My parents always said that if you gave your all
to sports, that you'd never had to work a job,
And so I was able to commit to sports get
a full ride scholarship, and so I never had to work.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
And then right out of this no, I.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Worked at my sister's frozen yogurt shop for like a
week and then I couldn't figure out the cash register,
so I just started like giving people free yogurt, and
I got fired by my sister. But I know, I've
never worked like a real job, which I'm lucky that
I fell into what I do today. But there are
so many college athletes who are not able to get
(17:26):
internships or not able to get jobs, and they're thrown
into the workforce with really no skills other than what
they learned through athletics. And it's actually a pretty big problem.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Wow. I do tell my kids.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I tell my daughter, I'm like, if you get a scholarship,
all this money dad saving, you could use it for
whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So scholarships are a big deal. That time.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Story because you know, you said you didn't really have
to work, but what you've done is you've built an
empire here. I'm not downplaying that, but she did get
fired by her sisters.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, past that, I know.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I don't even have a college degree because this happened
in my senior year, and so I wasn't able to graduate,
and so I really had to like fully lean into
this or else, like I mean would have Mountain.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Let me ask you one more thing, Paige Sperannic here
with Kevin on Rich Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Let's say you're on a date, hang with friends.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, you're going mini golf, top golf, any of these things?
Are you Are you able to check out and be
casual or you like looking at people's grips, people's swings, like,
are you able to step aside from golf?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Funny enough, I am terrible at mini golf, terrible. I
am so bad at it. I don't know why. It's
like it's the same thing. I can't figure it out out.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Of a windmill or clown's mouth, and you're off, Oh,
I just lose it.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Like my mind goes in wild places and I just
can't figure it out. And they're like, we'll bank it
off here, and I'm like, that's not real golf, Like
I can't do that.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
No.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I try to have as much fun as possible. But
if someone's asking for, you know, swing tips, I will
always help them.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And my last question again, Page Peranic, you said you
like to have fun aside from golf. What's like your
perfect night? What do you like to do? Do you like
to binge out on shows? You like to be lazy?
You like, like, what's your thing?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I get home?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah, it's so funny because I the persona that you
know has kind of been created online is people think
it's like fun party girl, like doing all these cool
events with like a listers and athletes. And my go
to night is home with my dog eating ice cream.
Like what binge watching a show or reading a book,
(19:25):
and like that is what I love top time.

for performance s triven styles to everyday essentials for men
and women. Travis Matthew, as you covered, visit Travismathew dot
com and received twenty percent off your first order when
you sign up for email. Again live from the ti
rack dot com studio. I'm Cavino. That is Rich And
for those who don't know, yes, what Were's a reason
Rich was uber giddy in that interview, and the reason
(22:03):
is underscore Page dot Renee. She's got four million followers
on ig over eleven million followers on social media. She's
a looker, she leans into it. She was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Listen, I was trying to get at the fact that
I love when talented, good looking women in sports lean
into it because it's like, the reality is what do
men like sports and women? So to pretend that's not
the case is silly. I love that she leans into it.
You know who else leans into their looks? Isaac lohen Kron.
Let's go for an update.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
What's up? I love leans into those looks. What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Do you know it?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
It transcends the radio airwaves? He leans so rough elbows
upside to side.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, didn't think I knew that?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Did You got no?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
But you impressed me always.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
What can I say?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Guys?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
We will start with a story already out of Philadelphia,
this one not involving the Eagles. It's in the NBA
where the Philadelphia is seventy six years and I was
a short time ago that Joel Embid will be available
tonight against the Dallas Mavericks after missing fifteen games due
to a spring foot and knee swelling. Meanwhile, today we
got to hear verbally from Luka Doncic for the first
(23:20):
time since the Big trade as the Los Angeles Lakers
held his introductory news conference.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I mean, everybody was surprised, so you can imagine how
surprised I was. I was almost aslip so when I
got a call, I had to check it was it
was April first. I didn't really believe it at first,
and it was. It was a big shock. It was
hard moments for me. It was it was home.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Meanwhile, today, New Dallas maverick Anthony Davis described his reaction
to the trade.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Everyone else, like I said, I didn't know.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
I was actually at home about to watch a movie
with my wife and I got the phone call. So
I had no idea what to me Now is you know,
I'm kind of over into on a getting ready to
play without.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
No word how the movie came out. Anyway, Finally, guys.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
What movie was?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
That's why? Is it? The new Camerads Jmi FOXX movie?
Speaker 8 (24:09):
That's That's what I wanted to know. Okay, it'll be
hard pressed to beat any given Sunday, well, speaking of
any given Sunday. Finally, in the NFL, regarding the perception
that the Kansas City Chiefs purposely get favorable calls, NFL
Referees Association Executive director Scott Green issued a statement today saying,
(24:30):
and I quote, it is insulting and preposterous to hear
conspiracy theories that somehow seventeen officiating crews consisting of one
hundred and thirty eight officials are colluding to assist one
team unquote. To find out how that statement went over
with the public, we checked the comments section and at Underscore,
(24:55):
mister c Underscore commented, quote, not all refs are in
on it. They change the outcome of several games a
year with key calls or no calls in critical moments.
We all know it, and to pretend it doesn't happen
is ridiculous unquote. Then finally, at Vista Underscore Test two
(25:16):
added quote, this is like a cop pulling over a
pothead for speeding, and the first thing he says is,
there's nothing illegal in my car, sir unquote. Guys, the
key to knowing that you're getting a great perspective on
social media is if the username has at least one
(25:36):
underscore in it.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Back to you, guys, no doubt you always to hear
from you, And by the way, it isn't Isaac. You
gotta admit it's pretty funny that they even Roger Goodell
and people have to address this.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's wild to me.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
It's unprecedented that the executive director of the Referees Association
has ever issued a statement. The NBA Referees Association has
a notable presence on social media, but not in the NFL.
But you know what will add fuel to it is
if the Chiefs benefit again on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
I know.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
You know what's interesting to me is that, as far
as I know, aren't referees in the NFL, unlike other
sports where in the off season they're judges and lawyers
and make you like men of honor.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
No is that's sort of the difference too.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't know, I know things about that, but that's
bs men or men men of honor.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Look what happened in the NBA. You know, you can't
just credit that. If it happened in the NBA, It's
possible anywhere. You know, just because of what they do
or whatever doesn't mean they're great guys. I'm not buying
into it. I'm just saying that doesn't really hold a
lot of weight with me.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah. I like you very much, buddy, appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
We're live from New Orleans, Cavino and Rich and if
you just joined us, well two things tomorrow. We feel
in for Colin cow Herd, in for Colin on the Herd,
and we're still doing our regular show. So join us,
call in, get involved and stick around because lots of
people stopping by the show live, lots of interviews. And
if you just joined us now, we had Kurt Shilling
(27:06):
on before, and that's always interesting for me too because
while I'm a big base we're both big baseball fans
out but you always hear, you know, rumblings about Kurt
Shilling and the type of guy he is, and everything
couldn't have been cooler. I found it extremely charming, And
I think the lesson there is you got to always
make your own opinions for yourself, right, even if that's
(27:27):
the problem.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I think a lot of times these days is that
if you disagree with people on a couple issues here
or there, like you discount that person.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You don't care about his political beliefs. The guy was
a great ball player, he's fun to talk to you exactly.
And we just were joined by Paige Sporadic, the sports
illustrated model, pro golfer turned influencer and that was a
lot of fun too. So again, catch it on the
podcast and thanks for being here super Bowl week with us.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Because of Super Bowl Week, obviously everybody's talking Eagles Chiefs
and something you promised, something we promised yesterday was what's
a bigger motivator? Everybody keeps talking about the three peat.
I've heard nobody except for me, bring up the fact, well,
what about the revenge game for the Eagles? I mean,
(28:14):
I get it, it's an obvious, but that's not a
motivation that should be talked about.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'm not trying to shut you down by any means.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't care because you can't because I find it
to be a motivator. That's my opinion that you're gonna
like stop me from believing that good.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
There's so many players that sit there and watch themselves
lose a game and they're watching another team celebrate, and
they sit there and they take it in. They say
the same thing all the time. I want to remember
this because I never want to feel it again. You
don't think that's a major motivator for Jalen Hurts and
his Eagles to not want to lose again. Bro, I'm
not saying that makes it an unbeatable motivator. But that
(28:51):
is damn well a great motivator. In fact, that would
make them hungrier than a team that won twice already.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
How do you say essence Fanish again?
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Actually, yeah, it means no. I think it's Rico Davis.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
That's sure.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Cabasa is so up your movie.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I'm not trying to shoot you down or anything, but
people who lack are motivated more than.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
People that have.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
And guess what, these Chiefs have two super Bowl championships
in the past two years. So to downplay the hunger
an appetite of an Eagles team that lost to this
team is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
That's not playing the heart of a champion because the
challenger was beat that's horse crap.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I'll give you're not a bad team. They got Saquon Barkley.
Now you don't think that they're leaning into that. You
maybe crazy, Maybe you need to listen to it. Who's
more motivated in the boxing ring the guy that's fighting
for something or the guy that was raised with a
silver spoon in his mouth. The guy that wants something
because he lacks it is always more motivated than the
guy that already has it. And guess what, the chiefs
(29:54):
already have it.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
There's one there's one caveat one rub to your stupid thought,
and it's about a savor. The boxing ring and the
UFC octagon are different. That is a one on one sport.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Some guy that you know was broken, came from a
small little village somewhere, might have heart, might have a
you know, more motivation. There's fifty plus guys on this team.
And when you say someone wants it more to motivated,
what's the greater motivator?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well, and I'll tell you straight up, there's another company
here that let me go. If you don't think that
that's greater motivation for me to kick their ass, then
you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It doesn't matter what motivates you, it's how it motivates you.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I think what Jalen Hurts experienced definitely motivates him, maybe
even a.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Little more than Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Every time there's a big maybe every game seven. You
can't act like you're so certain. What's a bigger motivator?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Every end of a World Series, NBA Championship, NHL Stanley Cup,
super Bowl, there's always a couple players on the losing
team and Danny Becker. There's always a couple of players
that like let the confetti fall in their head. Well,
there's always some clown on the top row of the dugout.
It was my boy Soto last year. There's sitting in
the top row.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Like, dude, I get it. You're no more motivated than
the guy that walked back in the locker room. Didn't.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Don't give me these theatrics that oh Jalen Hurts really
don't get in two years ago.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It doesn't guarantee that they're gonna win. But if you
don't think that hunger is greater, then you've never been without.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
Okay, rich let me ask you this question really quick.
What if you had a mansion already and you were
just striving to add on to the mansion as far
as the guy that wants it, or you're in a
one bedroom, crappy apartment in Resida, California.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
That but that I get what you're saying on paper,
that's a beautiful argument on paper, guys, But in reality,
sometimes so much is.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Better and and like, I don't care. That is the reality.
But you're not. We're not saying who's better. We're saying,
what's the bigger motivator.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
The guy that.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Wants that mansion's more motivated than the guy that has it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You don't think Mahomes wants a three p You don't
think think that rich person is like I got a
stay ready, now hold on.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's not about Mahomes not being motivated.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I think people are more focused on the three peat
and motivation for the three peat than a motivation of
Jalen Hurts wanting to revenge that loss.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No one's talking about that. You don't think.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Revenge is a great motivator, I promise you every day
I wake up with that motivation revenge every body every
day thinking I can't wait for everybody to kiss my ass.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It's a great motivator, dude. And I don't think anyone's
talking about that enough.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
I just feel like revenge in sports is a great thought.
But I think the reality is Tella will always win.
And to say that someone's not motivated when they're an
elite level, it doesn't matter if they won zero times
or try to go for a three so much.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Is straight better.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I get it that you're right about that, and I
think the other question here is, well, maybe that extra motivation, right,
that extra I gotta win.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I can't lose again. I can't. That could take them
out of their focus, out of their game.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Where Mahomes is cool, collected because he's been there, done So.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
You're telling me, then, well, hold on, I should be
excited because Juan Soto stood on the top row of
the dugout last year and the Yankees lost the World Series.
He should be fired up going into the season as a.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Met absolutely think you know, hey, he wants to lose again.
World Series of busts.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
So you think he wants to lose again.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It's not about me being right, it's about you downplaying
this motivating factor.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
All right. You give me a headache. I give you
a headache every day.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
Now, this is a good debate. And I haven't heard
anybody else talking about this.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yea, everybody's talking about the three rep.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
No one's talking about this guy, you know, avenging the
major loss that probably haunts him every day.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
You know what, hold on, we'll wrap. We got more time.

Boy hanging out with us, and of course Mike who

I thought it was really nice Iowa, sam Yeah, Brake.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
During the break, Cavino said he misses you and rather
hang out with you than Paige Sperannic.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Right right, He didn't say that no, no, I thought

Speaker 2 (34:59):

Speaker 1 (35:05):
We appreciate everybody in the future on the podcast. Thank

Colin on the Herd and of course.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Our regular show. So we're doing five hours of radio
from Radio Row here.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
We're working twice. Yeah, we're working twice tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
But again, lots of guests, lots of people stopping by,
so definitely join us.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Manyana here from New Orleans. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Now, any final thoughts on anything we saw last night
at opening night or do you want to continue arguing
about motivation because I feel like we're going to bang
our heads together. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It's the fact that you downplay the flip side. Everybody
can see the side that you're talking about. Why is
everybody ignoring the other side. There's so many people that
are motivated because they want things, because they felt what
it was like to lose. You know, after a while,
Mahomes and Travis and those guys, they're just sitting around
(36:00):
to win, and that's when they get punched in the
face by a team that is really driven to not
lose again, So it could happen. I don't understand why
nobody's talking about that side of motivation. No, I again,
Jalen hurts his motivating. You're out of your mind. With
that said, he knows that sting of losing.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
If I were you DraftKings sportsbook on you look at
a prop bet for Jalen Hurts MVP if he's been there,
got burned.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
And again with Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
That's what I was gonna say, Cove. I think that's
the difference between this matchup. The last time these two
teams met each other in the Super Bowl, Saquan was
not there running the football for the Eagles.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
The Chiefs defense amazing. Can they stop Saquon?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Daddy?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I was gonna say no until until I heard that
you bumped into Chris Jones at CBS and yeah, you
gave him a pep talk.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
That's a true story. Yep, that's a true story.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
She's like, Yo, you gotta stop Saquon. And now I'm like,
there's no way Saquon is gonna go for a hunt. Though, yes,
christ Jones got a pep talk from Danny.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
The other night, I was on Canal Street here in
New Orleans and I'm in CVS late night and the
Chief had just arrived a few hours before that.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
And I'm standing in the aisle there and Chris Jones
is right right next to me.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Did he forget his toothpaste on it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
I didn't.
Speaker 11 (37:10):
So I chatted with him and you know, yeah, you
saw the tears you know, in the in the championship
game and Mars, so I was.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Hoping mid conversation he wasn't going to burst into tears.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It's funny, Danny did say. Chris Jones said, if I
wasn't in the game, I'd definitely come on your show.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
So that's that is cool.
Speaker 10 (37:26):
He was.
Speaker 11 (37:26):
He was a nice guy, by the way. Did he
look gigant, Yes, he was three times the size of
any other customer in the CBS here.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
You probably saw had him, you know, above the shelves
and everything, and you know he's an intimidating fellow.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah, and he makes that Chiefs defense go, well.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Hey, thank you for hanging with us today.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
A lot of fun and it's only Tuesday, Like you said,
can you know tomorrow a double dip? We got our
show in for Colin than our show then Thursday Friday.
Each day just gets more and more jam packed with
some of your favorite NFL stars, baseball, beautiful women that
