Speaker 1 (00:02):

(00:23):
she must be talking about the guy she's with. Ooh,
what does that mean? So Shack did one of those moves,
and he said, I'll do my best shock impression you
have you ever done with? No?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I understand, he said, I understand. You see him in
here every two so I know we should be fatally
should be familiar with He goes, I wouldn't have been
a low me either, wishing you all the best.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I wouldn't have been in love with me either. Yeah,
he was kind of bored when he said it, and
when he typed it, and he had his tinted sunglasses on,
and he was sort of mumbling when he said it. Understand,
So anyway, translation, because I don't know if you can
hear in that lower octave, that lowered decibel, all I
heard was the vibration of the base. I understand I

(01:06):
wouldn't have been in love with me either. Wishing you
all the best, Shack. So I was like, ooh, what
is that juice? Juicy juicy. So then it didn't take
much investigating because TMZ was all over this and all
the sports websites. We're talking Shack one of the most
dynamic superhero personalities of the sports world.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Right, this was an investigation that did not require your
John Stossel mustache.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I didn't need to be some sort of web sleuth
to figure this out. Then I realized, oh, it was
a big story. According to his ex wife Shawnee in Undefeated,
changing the rules and winning on my own terms, she's
saying publicly that the lifestyle is what kept them together,

(01:54):
not necessarily love, which is kind of sad. But again,
he said, I understand she's saying that she's unsure she
loved him at all. Again, she has kids with them,
she was married with them. The lifestyle kept them together,
she said, I was in love with the idea of
building a life together. I truly did enjoy spending time

(02:18):
with him. NBA road trips allowed me to be with
my husband and experienced the NBA life for a little while,
and the excerpt got a lot of attention. Shaqi went
to social media to say he understood I wouldn't love
me either. So here's the question. I'm want the best.
He's taking a high road, but again I gave you win.
You're gonnat freaking flaming. Shaq has also publicly discussed this

(02:42):
and talked about how he blew it with her. He
had it all, He had a mansion, he had a
he had kids, he had a family. That this is
all public information that he's spoken about, and you know,
he regrets the way he treated the relationship and how
he did sort of ruin the relationship. Takes full accountability.

(03:03):
He said this on other podcasts, other shows publicly before,
so he does take accountability there, like that he ruined
his family. She since then got married. We married in
twenty twenty two. And that's the backstory based on all
this bossip that's in the news today because again she
went public and he responded publicly, and she also said

(03:23):
she was in it for the lifestyle kind of We
post this question Fox Sports Radio Nation, do do do
do arrangements? Bother you? We need it all the time.
You see some fat, oiled up dude on a yacht.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Hello, my friend, and he's got bikini girls all around him.
When you see athletes that aren't so good looking but
they got models on their arm, hey.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You can flip it.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
If you see some old granny with a lot of
money and some young hunk lurking around the corner, are
you okay with arrangement?

Speaker 1 (04:01):
There's a few ways to look at it, though, because
sometimes it is less of an arrangement more of an
attraction based on success or power and things like. There's
still an attraction there whether or not Showny was in
love with Shack. I'm sure she was still attracted to
him in some sort of way. He's not hideous. Yeah,

(04:22):
he's Shaquille O'Neal. He's uber successful, he's a dynamic personality.
He's a super talent. Right, he's Shack. I love Shack,
so I'm sure there's a respect there. But I'm saying,
if you see something dude with wrinkley old so it's
like lady something and some a lot of your old
twenty some of year old girls, how do you know

(04:42):
you're just speculating because you think you're handsome, Dan, How
do you know she's not attracted to the lifestyle, meaning
the power and success that he provides. You don't we
don't know. Women are less shallow than us sometimes, you
know what I mean. It could be the fact that
she's attracted to this guy's success. I don't know. Oh,
we don't know. You're using success too much as a

(05:04):
synonym for money. No, see, that's how you're projecting it
and receiving the information. Maybe that success you never saw
a woman and you're like, I'm attracted to her because
she's talented, Like, yeah, her talent makes her that much
more attractive. You know. Maybe it's one of those things

(05:25):
and we just assume as men. There's no way she
likes this guy's wrinkle. Juevos, There's no way. Yeah, some
people are attracted to power. It's the power as to
what he comes with me. You know, I'll got to
sleep with that person and see him naked, and I'm
playing devil's advocate here, just brought in the conversation. Of course,
I speculate and wonder those things too, But again, I'm
not a woman. I don't think like a woman, and

(05:46):
I don't perceive these older guys in that way. Well,
if you're gonna play devil's advocate at least, could you
be Pacino. You think you're big time, I'll show you
big time. Don't mind if I do or no. But
you know what, here's the other side of the story too,
Fox Sports Radio Nation. It's kind of said when these

(06:07):
things go public, but then again there just gives and
takes and pluses and minuses. Hey, my parents are Shaq
and Shawnee. You have a pretty good life, right, but
you also have to see their public love life get criticized,
so much so that Sharif O'Neill posted on social media

(06:28):
in response to his dad because Shaq went public with that.
With the response, and Sharif said, I love you man.
You saved my life. Isn't that nice? He says, literally
the most lovable and likable person on the planet. So
a lot of people went to Shak's defense or speculated
on this, and even his son got involved on the commentary.

(06:52):
But again we're going based on what his ex wife
said that she was unsure if she loved them, and
she kind of stayed in it for the lifestyle. Lifestyle
could also mean they had a family together, but she
does also say the experience of living an NBA life.
That's a lot of what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I know you're playing devil's advocate, but a lot of
what you're saying is sort of code for.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
You're providing a good life and money. It's the truth, Listen.
I think she wanted to look, not to dissect things
that I don't fully know everything about. Nobody does except
for them. I think she probably wanted to really love
the guy, and he makes it kind of clear in
his statement that he didn't give her all the reasons
to necessarily love him that way. He wasn't very present.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Take it Asiday from Take it away from Shack for
a second.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Okay, I get what you're saying. Where power or talent
could be attractive, Yeah, there's no whole thing. A great
example would be.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
A lot of times singers like Taylor Swift is definitely attractive.
But I bet you Travis Kelce finds it more attractive
that the world loves her. She has hundreds of thousands
of people at every venue cheering her on.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
That.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
You know, that talent and that success makes her even
more attractive. She's already attractive, It makes her even more attractive.
How about Benny Blanco with Selena Gomes. You know, he's
been publicly known to say, I don't know what she
sees in me. I'll tell you what she sees. A
charming guy where it looks don't matter as much, and
you're uber successful, you're successful, you have a great personality.

(08:36):
Women are a lot less shallow, I think when it
comes to that, and we, just as men, think, there's
no way, how could she not like me? How does
she like that guy? Go to Vegas for a weekend
and do a field study and I've done it.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
See some hot girl with a glistening, looped up body,
legs are shiny, she got glitter on or restlesses.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh, she's looking perfect.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
And then you see some she let's say she's twenty eight,
and you see some fifty eight year old guy that's
like guys belly sticking out the buttons on his shirt,
hanging on for dear life.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
And it's like, hello, everybody, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (09:16):
What is it your first assumption? Guys got money? Why
are we pretending that's not the case. And there are
some women.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
That guy with with table service and a cigar and
the gold chains and hairy chest.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, that's the meme goes for every group of girls
you see on a yacht, you gotta remember someone's someone's uh,
someone's falling some guys. One of those girls is fat
guy and a speedo paid for it. One of those
sugar daddy, Yeah, one of those girls is falling on
the grenade. When you see five hot girls on a
yacht and there's one beefy guy with Harry Backer.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Hello, everybody. One of those girls is like, girls, I'll
do it. Guys. We got to like be honest here.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
It's for every person that is attracted, Like no, I
really do love them for their power and their success
and who they are.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
There's a lot of people that are in it for
the money. You ever see an NBA or NFL draft,
Who's let me mis get around the lobby of the hotel,
it's always a bunch of women like, oh, let me
a lot of what you're millionaires, there's a lot of Again,
we're asking you Fox Sports Radio Nation if you're okay
with the arrangement. I'm not saying Shaq and Shawnee's wedding
was an arrangement, but it sounds like it sort of

(10:25):
became one right because he had it all. But she's
she's published. She we're just taking a word she said.
She's saying she was in it for the lifestyle, not
because she loved them. But I'm sure it got to
that point. Rich knock on Wood would never root against you,
but anything could happen. Yeah. I never thought i'd be

(10:46):
forty something and divorced and single again and whatever. Let's
say you're an old guy, You're not too far off
the mark. Let's say in five years you're like seventy five,
you fucking least solicited to this guy and you end
up divorced. Are you caring why this hot, young hot
he's with you? Or are you just appreciating the moment?

(11:07):
Do you really care if she loves you or you
just hey, you love her. I'm okay. I didn't say
I want to make it clear. Hold on, let's make
it clear again. I got I gotta be yeah, but
my point is outside looking in you you may get
weird stares and criticism, but everyone in that moment they don't.
I mean, the people were speculating on they don't care. No,
I'm saying I better, I just must not be clear

(11:29):
in what I'm saying. I'm okay with arrangements. I just
don't like when people.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Deny them okaying, Like, listen, I'm in my early forties
and I have two little kids. If my wife left me,
she always jokes that I'd probably end up with some
twenty something year.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Old floozy, and she's probably right, And a part of
that would be I'd be okay with her being like, yeah,
he's like older than me, he's sort of handsome, but
he has a good job. Like, I'll be okay with that.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
I think arrangements are part of life, business relationships. Everyone's
selfish in some capacity. What are you getting out of
this now?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I'm not saying.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
I don't want to de romanticize every relationship, but every
marriage is you're being there for each other. Danny, you
and your wife Brenda, you get something out of it
with each other besides your love. I mean, you guys
are a team. If you didn't pull your weight on
the team, it wouldn't work.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, we got a kid out of it who doesn't
let us sleep.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
So what I'm saying is when you see some hot
young something with some rich old guy or vice versa,
you gotta remember they have to pull their weight for
what they're bringing to the table. He might bring Harry
back and a belly, but he might be worth twenty
eight million dollars.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
She might be unemployed, but she might got she might
have perfect cheeks. We're gonna take your phone calls, in
your not deny the truth, phone calls and feedback on
social media at Cavino and Rich Not everybody could chime in.
If you chime in on the future, you know, we
appreciate that. We read all the feedback throughout the night.
But against Shawnnie O'Neill or the woman known formally as

(13:05):
Shany O'Neill since remarried Keon Henderson in twenty twenty two,
and Shaq, who's currently single, supports it. He says, I'm
happy for her. I hope this gentleman treats her the
way she's supposed to be treated. I'm a still lover.
I'm quoting Shack, and you know, since we're using him
as the jump off an example for the story, I

(13:26):
do want to say I think that Shack handles this
the right way. He knows he wasn't there the way
he should have been, and he takes accountability. And I
love that he took the high road today. So if
we're going to use him as this jump off conversation
and his story is the example. Then I got to say, hey,

(13:47):
props as well for at least saying all love shack,
because that's got to sting a little bit when the
mother of your kids goes public and says, yeah, I'm
not sure if I ever loved the guy. Hey, my
ex might feel that way about me. But doesn't you
know everybody to read about it. It's a tricky one,
but your thoughts would love to hear at eight seven, seven,

(14:07):
nine to nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Are you okay with arrangements? Do they bother you? It's
really none of our business. But to be in denial
of it is also a little silly. Yeah, to pretend like,
you know, there's a whole world know. I know you
and your girlfriend love a lot of those trashy reality shows.
What do you think the Housewives and Wags and all

(14:30):
these shows are based on hot middle aged women who
married powerful men.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, but again we're assuming that they're not attracted to them.
They're attracted to that power. They're just attracted to things
that we're not necessarily attracted to. We're attracted to like
the talent I've been with with and personality. You know,
we're not as shallow as we make it out to be.
When I was completely single, rich, I remember meeting girls
I saw on bumble and I got there and I'd

(14:58):
be kind of disappointed. I'm like, you know, like your pictures.
But after a few drinks and getting to know them,
and then a few more drinks and a few more drinks,
But after getting to know them, they're like, you know what,
They're kind of cool, and they become more attractive to you.
Of course, I don't think all these women are as

(15:18):
in it just to take this guy's money as we think.
I think there is some attractive attraction there. Remember adding
Nicole Smith used to say it all the time. We
used to say, how in the world could she be
attracted to that ninety five year old guy? You believe
you believe you believed her when she was like I
like his power. He was like a vegetable hot You

(15:48):
were the guy that bought that.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's such a You also bought swamp Land from America
Strada in two thousand and two.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
So what I'm trying to say is I think the
same way I find the personality or the talent or
the success attractive women find that power, that money, it's all.
It's all part of the bundle of money, part of
the bundle, part of the bundle. I think some of
these women look beyond it. Some of them are there

(16:16):
for the wrong reasons. What would you call a really
old woman like a saber tooth tiger and not a cougar?

Speaker 5 (16:22):
What you call?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Everybody knows? Yes, you know, we got tons of phones,
so let's go to them.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Then we got Isaac for an update, and then I
had a random question, not sports reltter at all, but
it's fun. It has to do with negotiating. What's up
Stella Minnesota? You're alwa with comede on.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, it's exciting.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
It's so exciting to talk to you days.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
So listen.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
I kind of feel sorry for Shack, but apparently aren't
these high profile.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Marriages kind of arranged anyway?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Feels like it, right, We do that a lot.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
And then so I saw this video with Shaq and
his wife and they were having an interaction and Jack
was they were making Shack's breakfast and the way they
treated him, she didn't seem like she even liked him.
On that video that I saw, she was kind of
putting him down. But I think if these are arranged,
then he knows and she knows, and that's just the

(17:21):
way it goes. And I think that when she left,
when it was over, she should have kept her mouth shut.
I don't think that that was warranted. I don't think
she should say that.

Speaker 8 (17:29):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
It's ridiculous. It's kind of sad.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
She has the right to speak her side of her
life and her story. But where I think it gets
questionable is when the kids have to read that. So
wait a second, Mom never really even loved dad. And again,
we're not putting words in her mouth. It's what she said.
But what I choose to believe in this is only speculation,
is that they were in it for the right reasons.
He was all about her, and he's talked about that

(17:53):
he had it all. She was loved her. Yeah, he
loved her. She was fine as hell. She was the
mother of his kids, and he blew it. I think
she was also with him in the beginning because he's
shack and he's awesome. Keep in mind by that things
got different over the years. That's why when you hear stories,
whether you love or hate him, when you hear about

(18:13):
Patrick and Britney Mahomes and how they went to a school,
danced together and now she's my high school sweetheart.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Didn't she jokingly says she had a crush on him,
and then he's like, I like her too. And that's
why those stories feel good because it's like they liked
each other before it all mattered, before money and fame
and all that came into the mix. Which is why
you see a lot of athletes Danny g more so
than anyone else in society, that you see a lot
of athletes with their early girlfriends.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah. Trust.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, I was just going to say, that's the one
person they can still trust all the way.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Usually you go to a baseball you probably have friends
for the wrong reasons, never mind women for the women
right who were just maybe they don't even know what
they're attracted to at that point. That comes along with it. Yeah,
who knows, no doubt that.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
I mean, there's even family members who turned rotten once
you get fame and money.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
You ain't kidding. So when you see those baseball players
are NBA stars that have that high school sweetheart, there
is something pretty sweet about it because they didn't know
it was going to pan out Adam and flow Rider.
What's up at him?

Speaker 4 (19:22):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Guys? Heyboddy, what do you think?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
I just feel bad for her Shack's wife, now that
I think about it, you know, seven to two, sweaty
all over.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
Yeah, that's disgusting.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
Did I would have left them too?

Speaker 1 (19:32):
And he's admitted he has stinky feet, He's talked about it.
He gives his pedicure person on one thousand dollars a pop.
I got to stink his read over next question. So no, look,
I'm sure she was very attracted to him early on.
That's just my guess. I don't know. What do I know?
Rick in Seattle? Hey, Rick? Hey, Rick?

Speaker 8 (19:53):
Hi, what's up y'all?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Hey buddy? What do you think?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
So?

Speaker 8 (19:56):
Look, man, I think arrangement. I think people may not
want to admit it, but I feel like a lot
of relationships are an arrangement on some level. I mean,
I feel like, at least a serious relationship, like most women,
they expect the guy to have a certain amount of income,
to take care of a certain amount of bills, and

(20:18):
you gotta love each other. But at the same time,
if you a bum, you ain't getting no love. So
I think arrangements are the thing, and people just need
to be open about it.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's to take that is true. I'm sure my girlfriend
loves me, but if I was a bum, I doubt
she'd be with us. So think about it, right.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Every relationship, whether you want to look yourself in the
mirror and think it or not.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Then again, when my girlfriend met me, this is the truth,
Danny G. You probably don't know this. When she met me,
I was going through a divorce, I had a kid,
still have a kid. I was broke, I was in debt,
and I was living with my sister. Dude, so she
met you at your lowest. Yes, she has credit, which
but did like you always keep that in mind.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
But that proves she's a good woman. But from an
outside of perspective, you don't think there's.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
People that are like, she's in her early thirties, covitos
in his for like, you know, there's a decent age difference.
You're a divorced guy. There's probably people that are like, oh,
that's why she likes him. No, because I'm not a millionaire,
so she could have actual millionaire. She's hot. She doesn't
need to be with my thousand hair ass. You know

(21:24):
that's that's you hyping me up, and I appreciate that.
But I don't think anyone looks at me like, yeah,
she's winning for the money. What money? When I signed
that Colin Colin Coward contract. Maybe keeps stumbling like that,
you're not getting I know. I'll never do stars.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
So there you go. Shack always love hearing about him.
But yeah, this was a It was very uh.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
I thought he played it perfectly. Yes, it was like
if your ex comes publicly out there and says some
stuff like that about you, even if it's true and
it's not meant to hurt feelings or whatever, how are
you supposed to handle it? He was like, yeah, I
wouldn't love me either.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Well, speaking of celebrity athlete x'es, we'll go to Isaac
for an update. But did you see gizl not happy?
It's coming out more and more that you're saying her
name wrong. I'm sorry, gizzzzz. Based on what you were
saying about the kids hearing, do you think Tom Brady's
kids are like what.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Does the trainer do to her? Exactly? But you seem
to be okay with it? Mom? Is it true? Isaac?
What's going on man, Hey, buddy.

Danny G's way after party always turns out you twisted
a little bit singing karaoke.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
It's true facts, all right, yo. Before we get to
NBA playoffs. And by the way, last night, I think
it was a good night to sort of casually watch
because they were like paul Y D's hair in the
two thousands blowouts.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
I can't let yesterday was not was not fun NBA.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
So hopefully tonight we don't get two point two games
that were thirty point differences. Tonight you got Pacers in
the Knicks, which should be good.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Get balled it with a O case's win streak. Man,
they're still undefeated in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Un so you got one seventeen ninety five over the map.
So yeah, playing big props to the Celtics in the thunder
and tonight's game should be fun. Man, I'm gonna be
glued to that one for sure. We'll talk about it.
But ritch you wanted to talk negotia. Yeah, you know,
by the way, basketball at the Garden still's got that
buzz we talked about how as much as you hate
to say it, football is a little more fun when
the Cowboys are good. NBA is a little.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
More fun when the Knicks are good. That excitement at
the Garden it adds to the playoff fun, all right. Negotiating,
I Gus had a thought for you guys, because before
I came to the show today, I was at the
car dealership and I feel like, what used to be
something your grandpappy and your dad would talk about, ah

(25:47):
the autumn negotiating.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Didn't you have to sit there with them as kids
and deal with this awkward ordeal of your dad threatening
to leave and the good bad cop between mom and
dad I did, no, Stephen, stay sitting there, da, we
don't got time for this. I'd fall asleep inside the
conversion vans. I'd be so bored sitting there all day.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Well, Dad negotiated, but eating the over salted popcorn they.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Heard out for free. There's only a few places that
I remember, like negotiating is a thing. Like the mattress
store is one where, for some reason, I don't know why,
but you could go to a mattress store and be like,
what is the mattress about eighteen hundred bucks? How about
sixty hundred? How about the minute you get off the
plane in Mexico?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Oh, foreign countries. I even tell the kid, like, get
out of here. Dollar for that gum, I'll.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Give you a quarter you're getting you negotiate with the
little he's selling chiclay for his family. Hey, dude, I
negotiate with everybody, especially on vacation.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Forget about Cavino bought a pretty cool necklace with an
Aztec calendar. Yeah, and his girlfriend told me that she
was cringing the whole time when he was negotiating.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, they're like that it was my friend and kid.
I was like fifty yeah, all the time. My girlfriend's like,
this isn't like the negotiating type of place. I'm like,
everything is a negotiating type of place.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
How Covino's salary is second best at the network behind
Colin Cowhart.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
And I'd be a good negotiator. People don't realize.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
I bring this up because I feel like, because of
the Internet, because of social media, and because of transparency,
I think the art.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Of car negotiating isn't much of a thing anymore. You
go to a dealership now, they're like, yeah, here's a
sticker price MSRP. We could throw this and we can
throw that in. We really, what makes you think we
can't budget that much off of this?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
And then I wonder, let me ask you guys, do
you go in with the hey, listen, I'm ready to
make a deal if you give me the right deal.
Or do you go in with the hale like I'm
not ready, I'm just looking. And another tactic I was
talked to my wife about. I'm like, do we go
in there looking like we're broke?

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Like put away flip your if you have a nice ring, ladies,
I was telling my wife like, don't let them see
a nice diamond ring. So happy and if you took
your sweatpants off and put on your weaker sweatpants, what
do you do? That's funny, that's the truth. But do
you act broke? Do you rich?

Speaker 2 (28:00):
I think I think salespeople are savvy enough nowadays to
realize it doesn't matter how you're dressed.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
You know, you could be a multi millionaire and be
looking like a bomb. I would say, it doesn't help though,
to come in there super flashy. It's not gonna help. Yeah,
they might try to, you know, but what makes you
think there's no wiggle room anymore?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, they're gonna smooze you a little bit different. But
I mean the first thing you got to do is
don't tell them what your budget is.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, nanny, that's a good one. Here here's something that
someone told me what. I'm always going to ask you,
what are you looking to pay him money? Nothing? You
know what? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:30):
When they ask that, never answer, you know why, cause
you could be like, well, I want my car payment.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
You could say three hundred or five hundred.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
And what they'll do is they'll manipulate the numbers so
that you'll get the number you want, but that'll make
more of a down payment, or you know what.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Annoys me is they go behind closed doors and they
have these negotiations, like you're playing dealer, no deal, Like,
who's the guy that they're talking Howie Mandel called the banker? Yeah,
but I want to know why you think there's no
wiggle room?

Speaker 12 (28:55):
Though?

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Why do you think there's no Because it goes to
the fact that you could buy through websites, the fact
that you could buy through apps, the fact that there's
a million ways to just look at sticker prices. You
could compare and contrast.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
You could say, all right, I'm going to BMW or
Hondo or Toyota Mercedes. You could call one dealership and
be like, hey, do you have this class car?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
What color? All right? Cool? Call the other dealership against
Tory have things to do with that.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I don't know, you know what, I'm curious if you
guys had any insight, because I feel like the last
few times I've gone to get a car, it's less
of that cat and mouse, like here's what I'm willing
to pay or I'll walk a lot.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Of times they're like, hey, listen, man, this is the price.
Like maybe that's their tactic.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
I don't know, No, I understand what you was saying.
The last time I purchased a car, we got it
from my girl. It was just we sat at the desk.
We had already worked out the numbers on the internet
and got there. They put everything in. It was it
was like done in an hour. It's crazy, that's my point.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Much like what are they call it for when you
pay child's abort a disimeters? This so mass it's almost
like an equation. And let me know if you agree
or not. Eight seven seven, nine nine hundred. Box is
negotiating cars like an old thing of the past.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
I figure from mother's day. Maybe you just got weak skills. Man,
you gotta really be willing to walk. I'll buy a
new car now. I'm not buying part a new car
from mother's day.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
But my wife's been wanting to upgrade to the three
rows because we got kids and sports and activities, and
as your kids get older, a lot of dads know
you need more space for like chunk sports equipment, lugging
other people's kids to practices and dance class and all
this stuff. So we're getting the three rows, I think now,
I said, negotiating at a car place seems to be

(30:40):
a thing of the past that your dad and Grandpappy
would do, and my name Jesus's with cash, can't My
dad always negotiates cash money. Now that works some places.
You know, he might might have worked done around the house,
and if you give your contractor cash money, he might
lower the price.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
But you're saying that the dealer shit at the dealer shit.
I think it's sort of like, hey, here's the price,
take it or leave it.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
And I say that because back in the day when
we learned about negotiating the same thing applied for hotels airfare.
Your parents were guessing because well, you went to a
travel agent and they tried to help you. But right now,
if you wanted a flight, you'd go to Kayak, you'd
go to price Line, you'd go you go to all
these places and starts cross referencing hotels, dot Com, Hotels Tonight, Expedia.

(31:25):
Those things are there to be tools to help you.
Right now, if I was trying to find the trade
in value of my car, there's like twenty websites that'll
tell you the trade in value of your car. So
when you hear your dad or Grandpapy talking about, yeah,
I was negotiating this plymouth in nineteen eighty something, there
was no Internet, so negotiating meant more I think nowadays.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
It's different with pre owns, but a brand new car,
I think the wiggle room is not that much. It's like,
here's the MSRP. If that's I would say that.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Well, I think your business means a lot more to them, though,
because not a lot of people are buying cars, not
as much as they used to, because interest rates are
so high and people are.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Saying to you, you said it right there, interest rates, Well,
that's where a lot of the negotiating is because when
they're saying thirteen, I'm saying I'm not paying more than
eight is right where I was at last time, and
my credit's better now you should be going down, not up.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Right, which is wild, and that's what the banking person.
But if I could buy it outright and avoid that completely,
it makes a lot of sense now, Like interest rates
are so high, if you have that money, we'll screw it.
Then I'll just buy it. But why do I want
to get ripped off paying all this crazy interest? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Rich that salesperson, though they always disappear into the back
to talk to the financing manager, the finance manager about
that interest rate and then come back that's still part
of the game.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, but again, Danny, that's different than the price of
the car. You're right, yeah, with the with the economy now,
interest rate is more the issue.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
But if you're saying I help the car in cash,
which I know not everyone could do, I'm not saying
I'm doing. But if you can't, you can't. It is
going to save you if you bucks and at least
you got that.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
But I think the idea of like I think my
wife was like, will you throw in like I don't know,
like certain sport package, or will you throw in the
special like car cover, the seat covers for kids making
a mess, or can you give me the sport matt
car mats?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Like yeah, I got some, though you you always try
to get your extras, like Rich is saying, but dude,
inventory is so low at so many places for whatever reason,
that they're willing to buy your crappy car back more
more willing than they used to. So maybe you get
more for your trade and then you used to be
able to get it. That's true.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
All right, Let's go to Andrew and Fort Lauderdale Andrew,
Am I totally wrong or am I right about there
being not that much wiggle room for a brand new car.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
You're not that far away. I'm actually on my way
to the Bruins and Panthers game.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
To nice brother.

Speaker 7 (33:56):
Yeah, So, let me kind of say it is the
basis of a car deal works. I've been selling cars
for forty years. First of all, the majority of factory
authorized retailers that you go to have one price. Selling
customers do not want to negotiate. They simply don't. Well,
if you feel that everybody's paying the same for the car,
you feel a little better. Well, the way it works
is lessing one percent of the dealership prop that comes

(34:18):
from the selling of the car. There's very little margin
of a car. If you take the car that just
twenty thousand dollars, the dealer owns that car for about
eighteen nine. He's working with a small mors. The majority
of top of them, the dealershould come from the service department.
It's called fixed operations. That's where the real shop that comes.
As far as the interest rate, the dealer does determine

(34:39):
the rate of interest. The dealers structure the deal. He
submits it to a bank, you know, as so when
you have dis credit and the bank comes back with
an interest rate. The bigger banks are more competitive. You've
ever stown a credophile, you know, the Bank of America,
it's the list. If you have a little bit of
a credit challenge, and you know, they may have some
lenders they work that work of on the line, but

(34:59):
very little with very little market in the car.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Hey, thank you, Andrew.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Then that was what I was thinking, because a new car,
you're right the service center and they'll be like, hey,
do you want the tire package? Do you want this
thing where if something ever goes wrong with your car,
they try to sell you on those extras, and you
try to ask them for extras.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
It's almost like how movie theaters don't make barely any
money off the actual tickets of the movie. They make
their money off concessions.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's why popcorns thirteen bucks. Yeah, let's have it to
Travis and Washington. Stay, what's up, Trav.

Speaker 9 (35:28):
Hey, there's more of a tip than a negotiation tactic,
because yeah, there is really no wiggle room. But if
you can wait until the end of the year, because
dealerships are going to have a thousand you know blowout
sales throughout the year, but the end of the year
blowout sale is always the one where they're trying to
mark down the price to move the car, to get
it off their books so that they can get the

(35:49):
next year's model in. So if you can wait until that.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Time, gotcha. Thanks for good tip. And by the way,
we are accepting tips now ten. You just have to
ask a few questions first. Let's get the screen's going
to ask you a question, So bring our show's card
slide to you.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
G Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, if everybody is accepting tips, so are we. Thank you.
Matt wrapped us up in so Cal. It's how Buddy
Yo yo.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Covino and ranch as always natural content backed by Sincerebs.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Hey, honestly, I think there is a wiggle room and
I think there's a technique to it, because the last
two cars that I bought, I think it's who you
bring with you. I brought my brother in law, who
absolutely loved this stuff. I just sat there and did
absolutely nothing. And to me, it's like there's levels to it.
It's like you know, playing video games and jumping leaders.
If you don't get by the first two lines of

(36:42):
at least the first two lines of defense. Then I
think you're getting screwed. But it's like, I mean he
went in there and like right away, we sat down.
I just watched and it got to the point where okay,
we got to the third or fourth guy and it's like, okay,
you gotta be ready to walk. And I got two
victories in my book and I did absolutely nothing. So
I definitely a wiggle room, and there's definitely technique.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I think there's way more wiggle room to wrap it
up with pre owns, right because that they're just sort
of not guessing, but they're making up the price.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Spot. I want to wig it just a little, a
little bit, just a little I've always said that.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
You have Spot, and I, uh, you And I looked
at cars and I remember this is when we first
moved to Los Angeles. Cavino, Spot and I all moved
out here at the same time, and I remember some
of the salesmen.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Were like, don't leave. They're very like, don't leave, like
what can we do to get you to not leave
without the car?

Speaker 3 (37:32):
And then do you start, like, you know, being preposterous,
like all right, knock up another five grand, and it's like, really,
just a silly game that I think the wiggle room
is what you think. Even though we're monthly payments to
be zero, but I'm gonna have to have up payments.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
That's responsible. Damn. All right, Well, thank you guys for
hearing me out there.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
I just thought it was interesting because you know, you
don't go get a new car that often, and when
you do, you realize, like, oh, nowadays, in twenty twenty four,
it seems like they're very much like, here's what it is,
you take it to leave it.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Another interesting thing in twenty twenty four, if you buy
a pre owned they do not fill the car up
with gas you need to leave. Remember that was always
a thing like you left a lot with a full tank.
They only do that for brand new cars.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Wow, what it's weep. By the way, that's one of
the best expensive.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
That's one of the best rebrandings in the history, even
more so than the The Twelfth Man in Seattle, even
more so than the Steph Curry Warriors, the best rebranding
in the last twenty something years. Calling used cars certified
prehance it sounds way nicer.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
You get a nice little warranty with it too.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah, it's still like like, yeah, it's us a used car. No, no,
not a used car, certified, pre certified, pre owned. Sounds
way nice, thank you.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
The best rebranding was Crocs.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
That's a good one, too fine. They were garbage, would
have never had a kid's love. I would have never
been caught dead in those And now I like, take
out the trash.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Were you're talking branding, I see. The best rebranding is
they got a new nine inch nails logo and they're
kind of sweet looking. I looked at the what is
it the tell you ride, but I was like, I can't.
I still can't find myself buying a key and this
unless they're gonna give me a free one.

Speaker 12 (39:11):
The quality of Kias now is much better than they were.
I drove a Kia Turbo Tikia Soul Turbo, but they.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Love that car. They had a weak sort of stegment.
Now they're cool as hell.

Speaker 12 (39:21):
I mean, they're actually really good value and they they
don't like that. I'm not gonna name my current car,
but my Keia needed almost no up keep compared to
my That was not an iron car.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
I agreed, he looked great, loved it. He was a
fast little guy, so that's Iowa Samuel, Danny g is
here Cabino and Ritch. Sam You don't want to tell
people you drive a volkspagn Rabbit.

Speaker 12 (39:42):
Well, outside their little lying scandal, Volkswagens are actually pretty
good cars.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
I don't drive a rabbit, though. It's okay that you're
drive any Suzu Amigo Suzu, I find those. There's no
shame in your geometri the fact that you drive a probe.
I'm not judging Geo Metro, you know from a two
thousand totally fine Dodge On. Yeah, it's okay you have
a Pontiac on fire Man. My girlfriend had a one
in two thousand and two. Huh, I saw you in

(40:07):
a Saturn in the garage. All right, let's remember some
old cars. We gotta talk Well, I don't know, it
was getting late early. Do you want to talk fights
Rich Do you want to talk Austin Rivers? Well, I
think I'm gonna get into midweek. May.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I think this Austin Rivers thing is interesting because did
the Ryan Garcia thing. It's still we're still not certain
the story is that Ryan Garcia. It looks like he's
like sort of innocent, like one of the drug tests
came back good for him, but the story's not rich.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Sample B the result the official results for sample B
of his urine test come back May twenty second, but
to see if he comes back positive for ostereen. But
he did come back negative for Nirando starone. Narando starone.
Wasn't that the Italian kid in Spot's home room? Narando starone,

(40:58):
that's what stillung uses at hotels. Absolutely, no Rendo tone. Absolutely,
so it did come back that he was cleared of
the ped nineteen Rando stone and like the other levels
are so minuscule, they're trying to argue that that doesn't
even matter. That could have been in like a random
vitamin he was taking.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
So you know, we don't know the full story. So
as Corporate America would say, can you know, put a
pin in that and will circle back.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
It's looking good for Garcia at the moment because social
media has basically declared him innocent. Well, but no media
circle back on zoom, he'll circle back, put a pin
in it. But there's a viral meme going around based
on a quote of Austin Reeves. Is there actually audio
of it as well?

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Let's then let's hear it buddy from the McAfee show,
take a listen to Austin Rivers.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
We got to get you outside of that football lane, man,
where the guaranteed contracts are, where the best athletes in
the world are. That's us. I could take thirty players
right now in the NBA and throw them in the NFL.
You cannot be thirty NFL players to put him in
the NBA. WHOA on the court, Let's just let's all RelA,
you get a break every play. I got to just
catch the ball and run the north or south.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
All was McAfee wearing a tank top west standing.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
That's my guess. Yes, okay. By the way, JJ Watt
responded to that, I don't know if you saw it.
You don't got a job in either right now, go
ahead and try it. So it definitely ruffled some ridges.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
As I say, so, you could take thirty players in
the NBA throw them in the NFL, but you can't
take thirty players in the NFL and throw them in
the NBA.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Now, I'll be honest with you. You could take some
of the NFL players and maybe get him in the NBA.
Maybe there's some great athleticism in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
We recently talked about the NFL Draft where he saw
a video of guys playing, you know, high school or college.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
I'm not saying Pooka Nakua could be in the NBA,
but the dude could ball. You don't know. I don't,
but you're saying throwing in the NBA where he could hang,
I think could hang. We're talking Odell Beckham junior. Dude
got some skills, would only get into an NBA during
garbage time. But I do, for the most part, agree
with Rivers here. I think the athleticism in the NBA,

(43:19):
all the athleticism it requires to be in the NBA,
would translate quicker in the NFL. These dudes are quick,
they have good hands, they're tall as hell.

Speaker 5 (43:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
That's like saying you don't think Lebron could play, could
have played, or could play in the NFL if he
dedicated his time to that. It's and those are That's
just one obvious example. It's a tricky argument, right. It's
a tricky.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Argument because some sports require such a skill that is
just not easy to obtain.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
The NFL learn the playbook.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
And I'm certainly not making it seem like Austin Rivers did,
which is like, all you gotta do is catch the
ball and run. But if you have size, strength, speed,
all the intangibles, if you're an athlete, I think you
could be trained to be an NFL player quicker than
other sports.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah. Now this couple requires a level of skill baseball requirement.
Let me skill. Let me throw your curveball literally pun intended.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
I don't think you could take any NBA player or
NFL player and put them in the batter's box and
expect them to hit over.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I mean we've see one hundred, we've seen the greatest
NBA player try to do it.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Michael Jordan defied all odds by batting like two in
the minors. Again, specific skill, So it's skill versus size, speed,
and strength, right, I mean athleticism.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Yeah, like just prove athleticism. And I think that there's
some truth to what he's saying. And that's not to
minimize or downplay what it takes to make any but
there's truth to it. Without put you on the spot,
it's probably a quick Google spot if you want to
do it. Someone, please just look up the size and
weight of Carl Anthony Towns. What's cats numbers?

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Because I think a guy with that size and strength
if taken under someone's tutelage and said, you know you're
gonna be a tight end.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
You don't think a guy like Carl Anthony Towns got it?
What is he? What is he dan to?

Speaker 2 (45:16):
He is seven feet tall anyways, two hundred and forty
eight pounds. Yeah, that's not too tall for the NFL.
There's a certain cutoffs, like you're not you can't have
a tackle being taller than like six ' eight.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
But if you but if if Kat beefed up, it
was like six feet. If if Kat was seven foot
to eighty eight put on forty pounds of beef, you
don't think after a year of training he could play
in the NFL. Well, yes, what would he play though?
Tight end? I think tight end he'd be a goal
line threat.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
But I'm just saying I hate to say it, but
what Austin Rivers said is such a blanket statement.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
But he's sort of right. You know what, though maybe
their speed is in as elite as some of the
speed we see in the NFL, Well don't know.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
I also think there's levels to this because you could say, well,
some NFL guys could play in the NBA, but for
forty two, forty three minutes. We talked just last week
about how many miles?

Speaker 1 (46:10):
What is it, Sam? Eight miles? Yeah, it's like they
run on average like eight miles a game.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
I mean the NFL, you get to come off the field.
And what happens to defense is when they stay on
the field too long.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
They win died. They're breathing heavy. They can't do it.
Imagine running up and down a basketball court for eight miles.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Now I look at Isaac Lowankron and my first thought is,
I mean, the guy could probably fight. Hey, Isaac, you
ever hit a punching bag for like a couple minutes.

Speaker 10 (46:35):
I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
You know what I was wrong? You're right. But have
any of you guys ever at the gym just for fun,
like yeah, for Cardio today? Those are heavy. I'm just
gonna hit the heavy bag. I've made love to the
punching bag.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
I've I've I've hit like a heavy game complaints. I've
hit a heavy bag for five minutes, and I feel
like I've went through a war.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
So when you hurt, your hands hurt.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
When you see these guys going twelve rounds of heavyweight
boxing or middleway by while getting punched. While getting punched,
like if I told you put on these sparring gloves,
just hit the bag for five minutes, you'd be breathing heavy.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Keeing aditioned for it, you know. And that's not again
to downplay that. And again they say Austin Rivers don't
out specific numbers. When I say I kind of agree
with him. I just mean I think there's more NBA
players that could make it in the NFL than vice versa.
You know, spotches him in the article Thank you Spot
WWE wrestler Gable Stevenson. I don't know the guy well,

(47:33):
but he looks like a beast. Former US Olympic heavyweight
wrestler gold medallist is getting some interest from NFL teams
because what does he have? Size, strength, athleticism.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
So I'm not saying the NFL is easy by any means.
I don't want that to I don't want to come
across like I'm saying that at all. But what I
am saying is what could translate. And I think if
you got those god given intangibles, you could be worse
with where you were. I don't think you could just
teach someone how to have a good jump shot or
hit a curveball. You could teach someone to be strong,
fit and play football.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
In fact, the only story that comes to mind right
off the bat of Hey, we found the guy who's
giant and we're gonna teach him to play basketball is
the Minu Bull story. You know, and that was a
rare story. Hey he's a big giant dude in Africa.
You know what, if you're the guy you're gonna teach
you how to play basketball, think of how many times spot. Yeah,
you don't really hear that that much because it takes

(48:28):
such a skill level amount of skill.

Speaker 12 (48:31):
Due to play in the NBA. Hey, I to make
a quick correction. I'm sorry, this is I was way off.
So the average the distance of someone doesn't tweet at
me the average distance an NBA guy.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
I don't know where I got eight miles from.

Speaker 12 (48:41):
It's between two and a half and three miles, So
please don't tweet at me that I was way off,
because I was way off. So I just want to
you just had m andem on it, right's Yeah, that's
still shot after three miles, So I just want to
correct that still off.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
There's still more miles than all of us running a month.
Whatever that to get off your shirt.

Speaker 12 (48:59):
Brou I was saying, you just I don't know about
that from I don't know I got that anyway, but
from destroy.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
I don't want it to make it seem like I
think anyone could play football. Don't get it twisted. I'm
not saying that. It's just what could you be trainable in?
And the best example of the way you're not saying it.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
We're just sort of agreeing with Rivers a little bit.
A little bit.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
I think Rivers is right in that all these sports
are way out of the caliber of a regular guy
to he.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Just made a blanket and it's just statement. Again. He says,
I can take thirty players, thirty players right now from
the NBA, throw them in the NFL. You can't take
thirty NFL players put him in the NBA. Oh you
know what, then I will say I agree with him.
I'm really I don't think either is possible. I'll give
you the example.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
There's someone in this room that doesn't have an ounce
of athleticism, but he's a great guy. He's sitting two
people to the right of me. No to oh spot
oh Spot because Spot's a big guy. Spots like six
to one, two hundred pounds. Spot was approached, but you
were a chubby your guy.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Let's take that. You were chubby your guy.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
In high school, the football coach approached you NonStop like, oh,
Christian spat you should join the football team because back,
for the most part, if you're big, that's like a
big part of it.

Speaker 13 (50:07):
I just wanted to play the trumpet. Yeah, it's like no, no, no,
I could teach you the footwork to be I just
want to play the trumpet. I just want to play
when the stats go marching. Then, So with that said,
to play, let's go band in the in the worst
way my contribution to the team. All right, Well, hey,
your thoughts you agree with Austin Rivers or not. Will

(50:28):
take your feedback and Spot, you know, the trumpet player
not football you mad me.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Non athletic chubby guys. You call that fast that guy
he's got way low my weight, which felt great. I said, ahead,
that's what friends do. Yeah, come you know? And rich
is this sports right here? Two in a room? Is
that who sings wiggle it? Dude? When he says as

(50:54):
a grooves you feel the tension in the air and
now you'll hide sprockets. It gets me so hyped. I'm
not even kidding. I want to do the running in
right now. This okay, do it? You getting down because
the sound is just your tight dude it. Rich says,
there's no wiggle room, but we say wiggle it just
a little bit, shake it, don't break it. You took

(51:16):
him by the nine months to make it. Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. We got Iowa Sam on the ones
and twos with the wiggle it. We are running super late.
We got to get it to midweek Major real quick. Though.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Sean hit us up in southern California. He just had
to wrap up that last conversation. Could NBA players play
in the NFL? Could NFL players hop on the NBA court?
He goes, forget all that, try to put a pair
of ice skates on any of them. Hockey is the
most specific.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Sport, and then tell him to fight fighting. Yeah, that's
you go to a hockey game.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
You're like, man, these guys are moving so fast on
skates and doing a skill.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Yeah. And for the soccer fans who listen to our show,
talk about a lot of running. Yeah, those guys can
have taco bell every night and brought it off zones.
We are live from the Tirack dot Com studio and
again next Friday, May seventeen, taking our radio show to Eugene,
Oregon Live for two to four pm Graduate Hotel sixty
six East Sixth Avenue, kicking off the Oregon Washington State

(52:15):
triple header weekend. So come out and have fun as

make note that we're doing the same exact thing the
following weekend, May twenty fourth teenp Arizona, so we'd love
to see there. Bring some friends again. We're Covino and Rich.

(52:35):
Details at Covino and Rich and your thoughts on the
whole Austin Rivers comment about football players and basketball players
continue there at Coveno and Rich. But it's time Midweek Major.

Speaker 5 (52:48):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
week where mid Week Major A oh, I love that
we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 7 (53:01):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 6 (53:02):
We definitely neat.

Speaker 5 (53:04):
To see in our score midweek major Oh.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Remix because we're running late. When you hear the horns
come in, that means you know we have made it
to the middle of the week.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Before we hand things over the number one host and
only host of the segment, we are gonna roll the
big red love dice in the main studio.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
This is to see who gets first. Take nine. Baby
Gravino got nine. Now Rich roll within an eleven? Yeah,
Rich first? All right in Now.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person from Scotch Plains,
New Jersey besides Judy Bloom Spotty boy.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I love how I prep all day and only get
to read one story.

Speaker 13 (53:45):
If you finally got around to watching the Greatest roast
of all time, that Netflix roast to Tom Brady, your
experience may be a bit different than those who watched
it live. A few of the moments, apparently from the
live stream, we're edited or adjusted for replay, most notably
Kim Kardashian when she was introduced by Kevin Hart.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Got tons of.

Speaker 13 (54:05):
But if you watch it now, when she the announcer,
she walks up and just starts talking there's no booze
what gives. But some of the other awkward moments were
kept in, like when Brady jumped up about the Robert
Kraft fa The Aaron Hernandez thing was left in, So
who knows if they'll continue editing.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
MA I'm sort of torn, but I gotta say week week,
I'll tell you why we're rewriting history.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
I don't like who people do that. It's like Alicia
Keys hit a sour note at the Super Bowl halftime show,
and when you watch the replay, they fixed the note, like, that's.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
Not what happened. Kim got booed. Love it or hate it,
it happened. So I don't know why we're adjusting it Netflix.
I'm not feeling it. I think it's weak.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
It's not weak at all. Oh, but it's not mid.
So I'm just going with major by default because the
whole event was major. It was live. It aired live.
If you missed what happened live, that's on you because
it was live. So if they have the option to
edit it up for your viewing pleasures later on, they
clean it up, they make it shorter. It was three

(55:08):
hours long. Oh is it sort of make it bearable?
They did that with the Chris Rock Special to the
Air live. He flubbed the line the.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Edited so that not booing somebody that'd be like, you know,
Roger Goodell always gets famously booed.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
It's endaring, that's part of it. Why are you going
to take out the booing of Kim K. Look, it
wasn't you yelling stuff. That's best off. He cuts out
all my bad jokes. Ye, you'll miss that joke later.
You get a better product, is cleaned up. You have
the option. You had the option to see it live.
You chose not to. There you go, all right?

Speaker 13 (55:41):
Uh On to Travis and Taylor news because we get
that every week. Actors and singer Jhona Kramer Rich. I
know you're a big fan of her.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
She's super hot.

Speaker 13 (55:49):
Getting some flak for comments she made about Travis Kelce
on her podcast wind Down.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
She had some skating comments about.

Speaker 13 (55:56):
Kelsey's partying ways and drinking, saying that he drinks way
too much, he always seems drunk whenever she sees him partying.
He just always seems drunk and thinks that he's gonna
be a bad influence on Taylor, saying that already she
feels like she's drinking more since they started dating. Kelsey responded,
it was the greatest thing. He's like Johanna, who had
no idea who Jonna Kramer is. And I believe he

(56:18):
has no idea why she's even chiming in on his
life midweek Er major dude.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
I think she's super hot, and with all due respect,
she's been divorced three times and she's like thirty or something.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
So it's like a it's like a fat trainer at
the gym. You taking advice from that guy? What does
she talk about relationship? Stay in your lane? You don't
even know him. I think it's weak. Yeah, I think
it's weak too. She doesn't know the guy, and it's
on her podcast. It's like, so she basically said it
in her basement and everyone's making a big deal about it.
And we all know podcasts are like opinions go on.

(56:49):
Everybody has one oka and much like her opinion, it thinks. So, yeah,
why should Kelsey pretend like he knows her? No offense,
She's a good looking girl, she's a great actress, but
who cares what she thinks about his relationship and ship?
True or him? All Right?

Speaker 13 (57:02):
The Indianapolis Star columnists who had the awkward encounter with
Caitlyn Clark a few weeks back.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Remember you made that like heartthands thing, like I hope
you do that to me.

Speaker 13 (57:11):
Well, anyway, he's been slapped with the suspension the team
Greg Doyle gave him, or they gave Greg Doyle two
week suspension from the Star. He's returning next week, but
apparently he will not be attending any of the Indiana
Fever games over the summer, and he'll just be reporting
on it from his home watching them on television. So

(57:31):
he's still gonna be doing his column, but not attending
any games Midweek or major.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Is that a reward? Oh, it's not not going to
the Okay, I'm sorry mid dude.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Those guy's assignment is the Indiana Fever until Katelyn Clark
was on the team.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
That seems like a punishment, like he blew his one
chance to be part of something relevant. This guy's a bozo,
but I sort of feel bad for him. It's a
mid story. He's really weak because he was part of
the Weakens in the na Fever Press and now he
finally has a chance to be part of something cool,
part of something big and bleway. They're being a little

(58:09):
hard on him. They are. This is so weak. Yeah,
I think it's very weak because it's way over punished.
He was awkward in the moment, but he apologized immediately.
They made a big deal about him. I think they're
really overprotecting her at this point, and she's gonna have
to deal with a hell of a lot more than that.
And they're suspending a guy or not suspending a guy,
but they're not letting him cover for he got here
two weeks suspension and he doesn't get to do live

(58:31):
in games. Yeah, coverage that is lame more quickly because
this is so sad.

Speaker 13 (58:39):
The Oakland A's as they plan their move, fans are
just abandoning the team left and right. Stats have been
released regarding fan attendance. Apparently, current attendance is about six
thousand fans per game, and they released stats saying that
five hundred and fifty three sports teams in US based
leagues are averaging more fans per home game, including this
is such so sad. Three indoor football leagues, two college

(59:02):
wrestling teams, a professional women's volleyball team, thirteen minor league
baseball teams, eleven minor league hockey teams, and the list
goes on, and the LSU gymnastics teams because of Libby done.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
Because it's just so sad.

Speaker 13 (59:18):
And there was a poll put out by a Vegas
tourism in account apparently like fifty to sixty percent of
people don't.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Even care that their movie to Vegas. Maybe I'm gonna
I'm gonna say it's a week on behalf of them?
Can you did you see? I think they're five hundred again?

Speaker 3 (59:32):
They won today and there's a lot of memes saying
are they the real life Cleveland Indians when the owners
in the movie Major League.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Tried to lose? Yeah, they're just below five hundred, just
below one game below. I think it's Super Week because
that's an organization with a lot of great history. Ay,
think about the nineteen eighty nine team, all those big
stars that played in the late eighties, the Bash Brothers,
Dave Stewart, Bob Welsh, all those dudes, they had some
great histories to see where they are now. And it's
so sad to think that the Savannah Banana probably have

(01:00:00):
a bigger turn out that way by far than the
Oakland Athletics it's about time they rebrand them, sent them
in Vegas. People will show up for them. Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Sacramento is the biggest winner in this. They're the most excited.
And if we had a baseball team in southern California
with a crappy owner and we knew they were moving away,
we wouldn't go to the games either.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
By the way, they's are doing better than the Angels.
And in the last place, Houston Astros who knew. Thank you, Spot,
thank you. Let's go to ilo Osa.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Glone problem.

Speaker 10 (01:00:29):
What's up about right, guys? I have a crazy new
detail about show. Hey, o Tani and I have a quiz. Finally,
we have a boxing story for you too that involves
the quiz.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
There was a.

Speaker 10 (01:00:41):
Famous trailblazing female professional boxer during the nineteen nineties named
Christy Martin. You guys remember her, first woman boxer to
appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, first woman boxer
to be signed by Don king Well. Deadline Hollywood reports
a new biopic about Christy Martin is in the work.
With the two of you to guess who will be
portraying Christy Martin.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
I know, I know, I know. It is all right,
go Sydney sweet you all right and her speed about
those things like sugar Atte entered. That's a movie quote.
I hope you guys now, Okay, you wait, Sam, I
think you have to dump yourself. That's from liar Liars.

(01:01:28):
Yes on that note, Isaac, thank you more. Next, can
you don't Rich? On Fox Sports Radio
