So if you could repeat Mike's words of Wisdom verbatim,
you win a Swiggy stick around for that. But the
Knicks haven't made it this far since the year two
thousand and I have to say, on a total side note,

(01:51):
I think it's so cool how the old school Knicks
have banded together to root on the younger guys. I
love when teams do that. It's cool to see that
fraternity of players, these players coming together, all these players
that were part of good teams, they were all stopped
by Jordan and they're rooting on guys like Spree Well,

(02:13):
Alan Houston Starks all these guys coming together to watch
these young dudes plays awesome to be besides Barbary the
legends coming out to see the Knicks. Now, Danny, this
is no insult to you. You're diehard, true to the
bone Lakers fan.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, but I've told you before how I had a
soft spot for the Knicks.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
When I look at the garden versus Crypto formerly Staples,
there's a sense to me that when celebrities go to
the Lakers game, it's to look at me. I'm here
right like a lot other than Jack, who historically was
always there. To me, it's a lot of look at me.
When I see celebrities at Knicks games, like Ben Stiller

(02:51):
and Challa May and Tracy Morgan and Spike Lee, I
feel like they are so invested like you and I.
Where you go you see other like Lakers. Charles Freewell's invested, Yeah,
I just did. There's a sense Charles Oakley's invest There's
a sense of fun going on at Madison Square Garden
right now. And man, you know the Pacers want to
rude that fun that goes down tonight game. Speaking of

(03:13):
the history and all those old school players, Reggie Miller
will be there. So exciting game tonight, but they weren't
in the Eastern Conference finals since the year two thousand.
What was going on in the year two thousand? Yeah, dude, yeah,

(03:34):
thank you Conan.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
All right, the number one movie. Like I said, it
was nominated for a lot of oscars, made a ton
of money. I think the second most money worldwide that year.
And I'm sorry. Bail didn't look like Bail in that
Al Davis picture, so that threw me off. Here's a
better clue for you guys. He was born in New Zealand.
The movie was set in one eighty a d. He's

(03:58):
famous for having a fit where through a telephone. Oh Gladiator, Ah,
thank you. Gladiator was the number one movie when the
Knicks were last in the Eastern Conference fin Wow.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
The second one came out and sort of fizzled. We
had recently and think of how many years we had
to wait for the sequel twenty four to be exactly
sure it came out. I was entertaining a good things
at first, and then I don't know, I just sort
of went away.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It didn't It definitely didn't live up to this. Yeah,
first one, all right, Technology advancement, Sony released the PlayStation
two Oh Crush pandicoot. Yes, and we were in the
middle of the two thousand US presidential election between George W.
Bush and Al.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Gore, we learned about hanging chat.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yes, thank you. It was so close that there was
a disputed vote count in Florida and the outcome was
not determined for over a month, leading to a recount
in a Supreme Court case.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
You know what else was popular in the year two thousand, Danny,
you could play along You're ready?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Was? That was two thousand. That was the biggest commercial
for bud Wise. Wow, that's crazy, all right?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Which artist had the number one song on the pop
charts on the Billboard one hundred? I got the top
thirty in front of me, so you guys could take
a shot at the top forty?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Is this last one standing?

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
It wasn't prepared for this. And by the way, you
probably had a lot of these on Napster in the
year two thousand.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
No dB.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Mambo number five, remember that one, of course I did,
but I think that was a little before that. It
was a nicety, a little bit of Jessica on my side.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'll give you a clue for the number one song.
He actually sings his own name in this song, I Know,
I Know.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
In the year two thousand, a lot of the charts
revolved around the re emergence of Carlosente.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
There you go, Maria Maria was number one.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
That was the number one song of the year.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
When they were in the Eastern Conference finals. Okay, two
thousand the time is that from Supernatural? This is the
top thirty two thousand.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
That was a big comeback for Carlos Santana for we
just you know, our parents got Black Magic Woman and
oh yeah come And then twenty plus years later he
did a song with Rob Thomas, Tons of due.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I was just gonna say, Richie had smooth, also smooth
in the top twenty. That was number eighteen at the.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Time, Rob Thomas, he had Game of Love with Michelle Branch.
He just had a ton of hits Santana. But wasn't
it also like a boy band era around that?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Number seven is a big boy band.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'll go with in sync.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yep, bye bye bye.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
There it is two thousand and uh and.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
A song you guys like to tell the story about
about how the song came about has to do with undergarment.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Cisco the thumbson number four.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
That was a big song.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Don't oh you guys dismissed my Mambo number five like
I was way off. It was ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
I was April ninety nine, so like we're only nine
months away.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I did it, He did it, and Rich did. He's
very pop pompous. Why because every day when I don't
do this, I'm recording for pop two K and I
know that song doesn't pop up. So I just knew
with certainty it was such a big song that if
I've never played it on serious XM, it was definitely.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Not too POD was still around that era being I
had to I.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Was Danny talks about as djaying days. I didn't DJ
like Danny, but I did have to DJ weddings and
school dances, and I played a lot of Mambo number
five at that point, so that's where it was based.
Also a lot of Bye Bye Bye at that time.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah yeah, But by the year two thousand, I think
it was Mambo number six, so you were wrong. Yeah, sorry,
Dan A year behind it?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Which which hip hop song do you guys think I
was playing the most in the club in the year
two thousand? Number one? I can get from the atl
yep oh, I.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Was going to say, my guess, is must be wrong
that I was gonna say, maybe a little Destiny's Child.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Destiny's Child is on the top forty, top ten. They
were number five with say My Name and Yeah, Sam
is right Outcast was the top of the hip hop
R and beach Art with so Fresh, So Clean.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You said Atlanta and I was like, what about in
the world of music back then, that was a little
That was one of the first country crossovers. Faith Hill,
Yeah had a big year.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Back number three, her hit song brief.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Breethe Yeah, that was that was a big one back then.
You know, in the year two thousand, I was wearing
Jinkos bro would I would have my PlayStation in my
back pocket in case I wanted to bust out a
game of Tech and two. I got to give you
guys a trivia question. What percentage of Americans do you
think had the Internet in two thousand when the Knicks

(08:33):
were last in the Eastern Conference finals? What percentage of
Americans had Internet in their house? I definitely had that
dial up going on for sure. I got mail.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, I had that. So it's probably a lot lower
than we think.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Walver, about six out of ten people did not have internet.
Crazy I let it hit you with another and mom
would pick up the phone and ruin your connection. It
was a good for a couple of people in this room.
Danny g the first of a three peep by your Lakers, Yeah,
and Cavino. The Yankees beat my Mets in the Subway Series,

(09:08):
and of course remember that my week sauce.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Game seven against the Trailblazers for the Lakers. Remember to
get to the finals.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
It was also the year then. I have my little
little sheet I use for pop two K. Let me
see what I got here. It's really interesting to look
back though, for real, because for me personally, I know
Rich lives into two thousands when he does his countdowns
and stuff. It doesn't have much of an identity for
me when it comes to this stuff. Like when I
have references, a lot of mine come from the nineties

(09:39):
grunge era, So actually, like two thousand, I'm like, I
don't know. The two thousands were very in like it
was the early days of social media internet stuff like that,
and the two thousands very identified by like your flip
phones and your and like you're yeah, but actual two thousand.
I'm a little confused. I have to take myself. I'm
in college. You're right, I'm playing PlayStation. I was listening

(10:01):
to Third Eye Blind still, Like, what year.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Was that Cove number sixteen on the top forty Billboard
chart here? Yeah, a song the Ranger, a group the
Rangers brought back to prominence, and you interviewed them with
the Holmes wide Hole po higher number sixteen. Wow. Yeah,
so that's the Creed era red Hot Chili. Pepper's other

(10:24):
side was number twenty four.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Gonna digg it on of the side. Yeah. So it's
hard to really place what was going on right then
and there because I'm either leaning too far nineties or
too far ahead into two.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Thousands, hence mambo number five. Yeah, that's You're absolutely right, Dan.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
It's very confusing to me to pinpoint exactly what was
going on at that time. But I'll tell you this.
We know the Knicks were in the Eastern Conference finals,
so it's cool to see them back, man, And that's
what was going on. Hold on, my phone's ringing. Yeah,
you're the former snake champion, right, My noki is ringing?
But were beepers still around it? Was that scared me?
It was funny. It's the first year. They always say.

(11:06):
The year two thousand sort of changed, Danny. The cell
phone from like, yo, you had to be like a yuppie,
like a like a rich person to have a cell
comb pilots a thing. No, because in the year two
thousand it went from what do you got a cell phone?
What do you must be like a rich kid? To
like the regular like nerds were riding around on razor
scooters at the office because it was like the dot

(11:26):
com boom. What year was that? No, that was the
the dot com bubble, the dot com bubble. How about
this song? You remember this song the dot com bubble burst?
How about this song in the year two thousand do
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do? Because
everyone was rocking that Nokia right where you know what.

(11:48):
Disc men were still a thing. They had to be,
because I remember taking the bus in the early two
thousands and I still had my discman. Let me hit
you up with one more. We talked recently, Danny, remember
about like the worst business deals. Yeah, two thousand was
the year where Netflix said, Hey, Blockbuster, do you want
to buy us for fifty million? Dollars and Blockbuster is like, nah,
we goold. That was the year where where everything we

(12:12):
do now would have been Blockbuster. But if you're thinking
like damn man, that was a long time ago. Yeah,
that's how long it's been. And that's why you're seeing
the Nicks celebrate in this way. So whose sign are
you on tonight? Pacers? Nicks? And now it's time to
give away a swiggy. Now, this guy's words of wisdom

(12:32):
are incomparable. How could one measure up to Mike who
runs his place? Never heard of? The last week was
my favorite? What was it? There's no such there as
fake breasts, because if you could feel them, they're real life.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
That was it, I mean, not verbat so you didn't
win to swig at the gist of it.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
You got the gist.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean, this guy brings it.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
So I was saying, without further ado Mike's words of wisdom,
it's time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mic does not run this place.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
It's big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday and
Apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw
it hard enough. By the way, that's an easy one.

(13:32):
Be dialing now at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
I mean, those are wise words. But if you can't
remember that one, you're the hoist guy pulls out an
Apple a day reverence. Yeah, he needs to make these harder,
even longer and more complicated. So if you can read that,
repeat that verbatim, you win a swiggy Be dialing now
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And Gee, let's

(13:55):
go back to the two thousands for a second, because
I know you were running the clubs. We were all
younger men, and you know, if you're in your forties now,
two thousands were your twenties. You were acting the fool.
Well you you were ordering Yager bombs and you were
partying Thursday nights. You were, you know, getting Christal champagne
and the vip like yaha bomb. I'm assuming those biga
bombs those were Danny Vodka. Red Bulls. Was that was

(14:17):
that around year two thousand. I think there was just
starting to get some stick. Yeah, you gotta look up
when Red bull started because it might have been more
mid red Bulls giving me wings but Danny g that's
when you were in the VIP booth and it was
a fun year. Girls always wanted to go to the
VIP the DJ booth.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
I was running the radio station Q one oh four
seven oxnar Ventura, Santa Barbara, fifty thousand watts of all
the flavor, hip hop, R and B and old school.
It was fun. It was a fun time and really
good hip hop and R and B at that time.
If you look at the list, Rich and one morn Yeah,
go for it. The late great Aliyah, I feel like,
oh yeah, she was. She was definitely on there. She

(14:55):
she had to hit try Again and does yourself Up
and Try Job Rule Jah Rule was in the top
ten with a couple of songs y Cleft, Jean Erica,
but I Do Trick Daddy, Big Timers, Nelly, Ludacris, MP,
Let's see Big Timers, Mystical.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Oh, big Timers the way did Big Timers? Who sampled
Gilligan's Island Heat It UPO Yeah, number one, I'm Still Fly?
Who sings I'm Still Fly?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Remember there were a lot of songs karaoke, there were Rich,
there were a lot of club songs, like that at
the time, I remember ying Yang Twins whistle why you'd tork?

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Of course, do you remember the song? This might be
a very East Coast club song, but do you remember
feel So Good by so Nick?

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yes? Oh yeah, that was in the top twenty of
the Billboard show.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Just reminiscing, just to bring it back a little bit,
only because if you wonder why New Yorkers are climbing
up light posts like they're from Philadelphia, like they're they're
degrading themselves like they're from Philly, it's because there's an
excitement level about the Knicks that hasn't been around. This
is before so social media, before smartphones, before any of

(16:02):
the things that you do on a daily basis. Could
we know that's the last time the Knicks were relevant?
I think it was the first season without you ing.
Gotta double check that, because I'm looking at the roster too.
In two thousand, Alan he did in ninety nine two
thousand or two thousand and two thousand and one, Yeah,
because there's the ninety nine, ninety nine, two thousand Charlie
Ward I think was on that team. But it's been

(16:24):
a long ass time, guys, all right, So again, Mike's
Wednesday words of wisdom. Let's see if he could do it?

Speaker 3 (16:35):
All right?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Can you repeat it verbatim for your chance at the
coveted Swiggy.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Right, I'm going to go to the studio lines Ryan
and Pennsylvania has the first shot at it.

Speaker 1 (16:44):

the guy look, not the guy with the long hair
like your an with a hat on the baseball player.
I was thinking Cleveland, Indian and played a year in Philly.
He got around towards the end and he's still playing

(20:12):
three hundred and twenty eight career home runs and you
know he's in the as they say, the Hall of
very Good. Do you think his parents named him after
Carlos Santana knowing this, I mean, he's a Dominican guy,
but he's not that old, so I mean he was.
It's a very common name. You can probably need, like

(20:34):
twenty Santana's in MLB, Carlos Santana, Johann Santana. Carlos is
probably a common name. I guess you're right. I mean
he could. He doesn't have to be. I mean, Will
Smith's in the NFL, right, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
I need you to That was for the East Coast

you know you've made it to the middle of the
work week. Coveno and Rich are going to roll the
two big red love dice over there to see who
gets the first tape.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I just rolled a big fat four. And by the way, Danny,
better than the middle of the work week, knowing that
you have a holiday weekend coming up, it makes it
feel a little better.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Here goes to the ritual.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Seven. I'm getting ready for our Vegas trip.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Baby. Perhaps that means Rich gets to go first. And now,
ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom
from Scotch Plains New Jersey spotty boy.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Hi, guys, you know I only roll seven on the
first one, only the six and eight all day rol six.
We're gonna take over a craps table and make millions.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
We're gonna do something, I'll tell you that much, all right,
We'll start off with the Buffalo Bills, who have been
chosen by the NFL and the Home Box Office to
be the center of the Training Camp edition of Hard Knocks.
Roger Goodell made the announcement during spring meetings, saying the
reigning AFC East champs will be documented as they prepare
for next season. Of course, series will focus on team practices,
possibly get some offscreen drama.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Maybe we'll see the future Missus Allen running around.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
NFC East also getting their treatment for the in season
for next season, focusing on multiple teams including the Giants, Commanders, Cowboys,
and Eagles. Hard Knocks Training Camp put the Buffalo Bills
premieres August fifth on HBO. Max Is that what it's
called now? By then, I'm pretty sure our Home Box Office,
Maximilian as I call it, Yes, this is I'd.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Be mid okay, they do it every year. The Bill's
a good choice. Harley Steinfeld. I hope there's a little
involvement to bring some you know, some pop culture fun
to it. And by the way, rude of you to
bring up the Bills and not wish Josh Allen a
happy twenty ninth birthday.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh is that today?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Josh Allen turns to twenty nine today. I don't want
to get twenty I didn't get my alert, didn't get
your Josh Allen alert. Well, mister t turns seventy three today,
I put it in the pool. Well, I hope Josh
Allen gets my edible arrangement and sent them a balloon.
So I think this is edible, major, major spot. And
I'll tell you why. AFC's Champs, Josh Allen Superstars. It

(23:49):
could be a weak ass team. This is a great team.
This is an intriguing season. So when I first saw
this rich, I was like, ooh, yeah, yeah, and it
gets me excited about it. So because sometimes you're watching
team that you don't care at all about. So I'm
actually excited about this. And you know what, I'm sure
they will also highlight the Bill's mafia, which could be fun.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
The fan base is insane, so I think it's would
be a great season.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
I'd sticking in the NFL. Jalen Hurts, doubling down on
his absence from the White House last month, as he
claims as he said he had scheduling contacts that he's
really busy. Super Bowl Champion Eagles QB invited to the
White House along with the rest of the team on
April twenty eighth. Many were in attendants, including Saquon Barkley, who
went on to have a round of golf with the President.
But Hurtz commented in a press confidence conference yesterday saying

(24:33):
he just simply wasn't available, going out to say, I.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Don't think that's pertinent.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Everyone who went was available, or that everyone who went
and was available seemed to enjoy themselves. So even if
it's not political, really sticking to his guns, Midweek or Major,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Go major, definitely Major. And I'll tell you why not
because I care. I listen, no matter who the president is,
I would go because I honor the seat that the
man Holtz and maybe a woman one day, right, I
think the president it's a big deal. I would sit
down with Obama, Trump, Bush, Clinton, anyone. I think it's
an honor. Lincoln, Lincoln Taft, who got Starfield, Garfield Coover.

(25:12):
I just find it odd when he's like I was busy.
In my mind, I'm like, yes, Van Buren to quote
peee Herman back in the day, busy doing what is
he doing?

Speaker 2 (25:20):
What he's taking his bath? Francis is busy.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I've seen this when people go to the Oscars or
a wedding or big event. It's like, oh, they were
busy that day. What is busier and more important than
going to the White House and being honored by the President.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
It's a wildly weird excuse.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
If he asked me, you could say I'm not a
fan of Trump and he didn't want to go, that
would be okay with that. To say you had plans,
that's like, hey, uh.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Where at Penny Hannah?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Cancel him? How what is going on? I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, I agree with Rich. It's major.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's like I was visiting New York once and I
was like, Dad, I'm, you know, visiting from LA three
thousand miles and he's like, oh, well, you know what,
come a little later in the day, I have a
dental cleaning. I'm like, oh, I got a doctor's on.
Point's very hard to get it. What is more important
than this honor? I booked it six months ago. Rich
can't again unless it was like something health related, and

(26:13):
if you really want to squash the story, what were
you doing? Why the big mystery? I'm with Rich, I'd
respect it more if he just came clean and said, yeah,
I don't like Trump all right.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
Still speculation around the engagement between legendary NFL coach Bill
Belichick and his twenty four year old girlfriend Jordan Hudson. Well,
Bill may have confirmed it in his own way. As
you know, Bill has eight Super Bowl rings, six with
the Pats, two with the Giants. Well, he debuted a
new boat on the waters off the swanky island of
Nantucket in Massachusetts with the name in Roman numerals one

(26:45):
plus eight rings, alluding to the fact that there may
be an extra ring having to do.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
With his engagement. No, I see. I think this is major,
but I am interpreting it differently. Oh, these with a younger,
more vibrant woman.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Oh you think that ring?

Speaker 1 (27:03):
I think. I think the ring is somewhere in his panthalonis.
I think for my hands need a little help.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
Four.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I don't think it's an engage ring. I think it's
that mooink Wow. Geez wow. That's a that's a hot take.
It that's a hot take right there. I'll take it, and.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
I agree with Rich.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, a major story because it's Bill Belichick and he's
seventy four years old. She's twenty four married? Mat what married?
He's going here? It's a very odd story, of course,
that applies a marriage one plus eight rings? Well, what's
the other ring? Give me a break. I just find

(27:48):
it very odd at this guy seems to bechlass ring.
He just seems to be so smitten and it's really
tough to see it. Such a guy that I don't
know your story because you're not going to tell me
that she's not going to have involvement on his decisions
because all wives do. What's that irish promise ring? That

(28:10):
clitter ringling?

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Al my purity ring? Jonas brothers, There you go.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
The White Sox beg you got a higher power to
lead them to victory this season. So pop Leo the fourteenth,
as you know from Chicago, a Chicago White Sox fan.
His brother revealed it. We saw the footage of him
in the stands at the game one of the two
thousand and five World Series. Well, the team capitalizing on
their connection by highlighting the pope and his attendance with
a graphic installation at ray Field. The Socks unveiled the

(28:41):
attraction ahead of their matchup against the Mariners, which featured
the new Pope waving in front of the Chicago skyline
with a photo a photo of him in the stands
at the two thousand and five game, also a frame
jersey next to it with the name Pope Leo went under.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Of course, the number is fourteen socks currently fifteen and
thirty five.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
So maybe they'll turn it around for the rest of
the season midweek or major.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Dude, you ain't turn around the Saint Angels in the outfield.
You never know. I don't know, but you know, it
is pretty cool. Listen, if the Pope rooted for my team,
I would imagine they would, you know, do something. I
think it's a classy little touch. And the White Sox
they need a little something. I think I would say
it's for the mid.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I think it's it's a mid story. I agree with Rish.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
They could have made it cooler by having like a
sacred seat spray paint that one seat that he sat
in gold and it's like you're a lucky fan. You
get you're like blessed by the God. Would say, did
like Pope foam hat night. Yeah, you got to lean
into it a little harder, like oh, the Great Pope
race the Great Hope. If you're sitting in a sacred
seat and give away prizes. You win a trip to
the Vatican. Oh my god, you get free tickets forever

(29:43):
and ever.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
You gonna lean into it, man, I love it all right.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Travis Kelce backtracking his stance on playing the season opener
in South Powderdo, Brazil, after facing backlash for throwing a
bit of a tantrum after the game was announced, as
you recall complaining about the heat being that close to
the equator, saying you didn't want to put on his uniform.
He's played in Jacksonville in September and it's effing miserable.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
All that kind of stuff.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
Well, on this week's new podcast, he made a turnaround, saying,
talking about the excitement for being in a bunch of
primetime games, you can't wait to see all the brazil
fans enjoying American football. And then Jason went on to
say how apparently they were told the weather in some
palow in Brazil or in September it is very nice,
so they're very excited about it midweek or major you know, EU,

(30:28):
this is very nice to but cheeks out there, I mean,
I don't want to say it.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Don't tell me say this. I think, uh, I think
this story has nothing to do with his take on
Brazil in the Games. I think the take you said,
he said uh back one too many times? Backtracking you
said backtracking, you mean it's harry back. All I'm thinking
about is Travis Kelsey's harry Back. And maybe I was
going to be maybe this is good news for all
the harry Sasquatches out there, because if Taylor Swift could

(30:52):
get with a guy that's got a harry Back like that,
maybe it's like, uh, you think she shaves us back?
I bet you. I guarantee you. I bet you. If
people want to see that, honestly, wax it do something. Travis,
You're two hands up to a harry Back. That's my take.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I agree with you on that. I'll agree with rich
on that.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
I don't have a hairy back button. What do I
push here?

Speaker 1 (31:15):
It's a mid story, major carry back. I'm supposed to
care that he is okay with Brazil. Brazil is awesome.
I've never been there, but I've always wanted to go.
But his hairy back is a pretty mid story. Save
your bag, dude, half Sasquatch, half Croatia. I guess all right, well, hey,
thank you Spotty, great midweek major. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Let's go to Dan Bayer get an update. What's doing dB.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Guys on select Sundays this year? Just on the White
Sox thing. The White Sox are doing a pulp promotion
Section fourteen. All you can eat wine and bread. So
that's why Select Sundays this year. Section fourteen they actually
hand out water and it turns into one for Leo
the fourteenth. The White Sox today were not blessed with
a victory. They lost to the Mariners six to five

(31:59):
in a busy day in baseball. We'll get to that
in a sec, but first, the headlight of the day
is shay Gilgess. Alexander is set to be the MVP
of the NBA. ESPN reporting that he'll become the seventh
straight winner of the award that was not born in
the United States. Nothing official yet from the NBA, but
SGA is set to be the MVP. Tonight, it's Pacers
and Nicks eight o'clock Eastern time in Game one of

(32:20):
the Eastern Conference Finals. Now SGA and the Thunder one
game one of their Western Conference Finals show down with
the Timberwolves. Last night, Sports media Watch says ratings for
that game were the lowest rated conference final game won
since twenty twenty one, and we're down twenty four percent
from a year ago. The tush push play in the
NFL will remain legal in twenty twenty five after not

(32:42):
enough voters voted to ban the play made famous by
the Philadelphia Eagles. Twenty two owners voted to ban the play,
but twenty four were needed to make it illegal next season,
so it sticks around. Titans quarterback cam Ward signed his
rookie deal four years, forty eight point seven to five
million dollars, all of it is guaranteed on the ice.
Western Conference Finals Oilers and Stars eight Eastern in their

(33:04):
game one, while the rest of the action on the
diamond in Minneapolis. Today, the Guardians just topped the Twins
five to one. That Wins won the game that was
delayed on Monday six to five earlier, so a bit
of a split today. Cubs down the Marlins two one.
Pirates were three to one victors against the Reds. Tigers
won in Saint Louis five to one. The Royals doubled

(33:24):
up the Giants eight to four in one of three
games that finished eight to four Today, Rays beat the
Astros by that score. In the Orioles snapped the eight
game slide, winning in Milwaukee in eleven eight to four.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Guys. Back to you, Thank you Dan, Dan Bayer, Thank
you dB. Again. We're Covino and Rich and the twenty
twenty five NFL schedule is out. Schedule watch it, don't
miss a snap snap down thead. Tick pick today for

What's worse this? Or to Macharena?

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Oh this by Mile, They're equally terrible. They're fable is bad.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
But this song is trash. If I'm anywhere and this
song comes on, I take a bathroom break, I feel
like you're insulting Dan Bayer. He loves a song? No,
I told Dan he needs to stick around to hear
his uh his callback oh.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Rumor spreading this is Dan Byer's favorite song.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Oh Man, Dan is very Dan hag in the name
to the buyer. Number five Okay, that's not the case here.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
The problem is his Rich has been lippy all week,
like his his forty nine ers. Oh that's a win
against the Seahawks. It is slippy even yesterday when like
I guess, like Tom Seavers I said that, I said that.
So this is the third straight day where like he's
popped off, and here's the deal. Nobody except Cavenos sometimes

(35:02):
in spots, sometimes calls him out on it.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
You know, Sam's just like Rich.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
So when Mambo number five was released in April of
ninety nine, because I thought it maybe two thousand, trying
to add something to the show.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I don't think I should be ridiculed by No. That
was years and years. You saw the real side of Rich,
is what you're saying. Yes, yes, the real the unto
Rich Davis story to come out. This welcome why Dan's
always been a Cavino guy.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
You're officially part of the crew. Now got frustration towards
Rich like that oficially part of the crew. It took
four years, Lovedy, you've seen it. You see what we
see the third time he's triple crown. But I just
won the Belmont by you know, giving me a very discissive.
He does not see it.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
He doesn't see that. He doesn't Oh God wrong again anyway.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
It's like how we were running really late for last
one standing on my day and Rich wanted to talk
about butterflies or ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yes, seriously, yeah, I mean this is how rich it is.
So again we're Covino and Rich. I'm here pampas Rich

forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find the

sure to join us and we'll figure out a way
to give way more prizes tomorrow. Do you think the
Nicks hold court and win game one at home tonight. Man,
that's tough, I do, Rich, I think that personally. But
what I can guarantee is what we said last time, electricity. Man,

(36:57):
the garden's gonna be hopping, and it's gonna be fun
to watch. It's gonna be fun to see all the
old heads they're representing. Do you want ratings, all the
latrell spree wells out there ratings? No, you do. I
have an idea. You sit Halliburton's dad in between all
the old school Knicks, yeah, okay, and Halliburton's dad right

(37:18):
next to you. Yeah. I mean that'll go well ratings.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Now, Rich, are you keeping your wallet closed tonight because
you got burned last night?

Speaker 1 (37:26):
You know what? Now that you said that MVP? MVP? Yeah,
thirty one points when it was thirty one and a half.
All right, what have we got here tonight? Jalen brunts
in twenty eight and a half.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
I'd say, just under all right, don't let that half,
uh yeah, don't let that half get you?

Speaker 5 (37:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Alright, Karl Anthony Towns ooh twenty two and a half.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Bet you bet you? He scores twenty three points?

Speaker 1 (37:56):
All right, I'm gonna go over Halliburton eight and a
half over over only we'll do one more Turner. We're topping.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Who do you want to do, I'd say Miles Turner.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Miles Turner is fifteen and a half under. Okay, I'm
just totally went with I went arbitrary with you. Guys.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Get this draft, Kings pick six, HiT's yours, Taco Beltimore's right.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Fair enough. So we got we got Brunson under twenty
eight and a half, we got Kat over twenty two
and a half, Halliburton over eighteen and a half, and
Miles Turner under fifteen and a half. Ten bucks pays
eighty All right, cool, that's reason to have fun and
enjoy the game. Thank you guys for enjoying the show.
I hope you enjoyed the show. Anything you miss catch

(38:49):
it on the podcast. Now, we got two minutes left, Rich,
which means we'll probably have to continue this conversation tomorrow.
But all show Rich has been teasing Patrick Mahomes is
two new weapons this offseason. Yeah. Now, again, this is
a legend, and this is rumor. This is just based
on what the eyes could see. Because I don't know
if I necessarily agree with you evidence the people that disagree,

(39:12):
because guess what, the lovely I enjoy her very much
on quarterback. I got a new respect for Britney Mahomes.
But there's photos now you know she was in Sports Illustrated.
There's a lot of before and after. There's a lot
of before and after, and I think she's a new mom,
and when you're a new mom, they get big. Others
are saying, she got the babies get big, but you

(39:34):
got some bazoombas mansy, that's the proper term. I think zooms.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yes, I'm here, I'm listening.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
What do you think you're you're you guys, you're a woman. Absolutely,
it's got them both. Oh so they got big girls,
she got them and they got bigger. Yeah. Yeah, so
she's looking real good, milky zoomas. I'll say, yeah, I'm
not complaining, just saying I think she's looking good and
I'm glad you guys are noticing. But I think some
of your business. I think Brittany Mahomes looks great. But

(40:05):
I think this goes into a conversation tomorrow about your
thoughts on as we all get older, mommy makeovers. You know,
if you're a dad, and you're getting older, Like where's
where do you draw your own personal line? Like cam
you know you're a guy in the entertainment world. Is
Cavino ever gonna.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Get bro tox yo?

Speaker 5 (40:21):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (40:21):
You better chill? And where's gonna get it? And here's
the other question we'll post tomorrow. What's worse the women
that deny the work or men that deny their steroid use?
How many beefed up guys have beefed up guys totally
cleaning about it. How many women out there getting these
things done lying about it? So we'll get to all

(40:43):
