Speaker 2 (00:22):
Over the weekend, Jazz Chisholm made his New York Yankees' debut.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh Jezz Jazz Chisholm.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Now he comes out and makes his first Yankee appearance,
his first ever appearance in a Yankees uniform. He steps
out of the dugout and the Boston Dugout Yankees are away,
so they got the away jerseys on and he has
his hat turned backwards. He has this really crazy chain on.

(00:54):
Is at your chain? He lets it, Hay, it's a
noticeable chain. Okay, I don't know what it is, but
it's noticeable. I can't tell you the link and I
know my links. I don't know what kind of cheney was,
but it was noticeable. So hat turned backwards. He's got
the bling bling as the kiddo say, bling bling. He's

(01:15):
got a neon green belt on. I've never seen that ever.
Have you ever seen that with the Yankees especially? He
has a neon green belt on, he has like a
neon baseball glove, and he's you know, dabbing people up.
He's high five and he's happy to be there. He's
got that electric smile. But he brings a different type
of swag. And people said he came out like a

(01:36):
lightning rod with his hat backwards and making an immediate
impression that he was going to do things different.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Now he came out clean shaven.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Obviously those are the rules, but the conversation then often
goes like, he could do whatever he wants if he's performing,
and he could be as flashy as he wants to
a degree, because it's the Yankees, as long as he's performing.
But if he's stinking it up and he's got his
hat backwards and he's doing all these things, starsh, what

(02:07):
do you call him? It's not gonna vibe that well
with the Yankees fans because they have their traditions and
their standards that they go by. I gotta ask you
for real, though, Oh I liked it, dude, I like
to ask you for.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Real, well, would you say Yankees fans?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yes, it's like some bunk ass old Steinbrenner, like be
clean cut?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Do Yankee fans actually want that? Like you're a Yankee fan?
Are you off some flash? I want some pozzazs is
like that? Watch Mickey Manno, and I can't answer for
all Yankees fans. You think some young ass Yankees fans
care about Jazz Chishom's green belts.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I'm just telling you that it's noticeable. Okay. I'm not
saying this is right or wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'm saying you're so used to quote unquote the Yankee
way that when Jazz Chisholm comes out and he's known
for being flashy and he has his hat backwards, speculation
like when's the last time he saw any Yankee with
their hat backwards like that?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Think about it?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Remember Ken Griffy Junior never really wanted to be a
Yankee because I remember Scott Broches that guy was styling
no no, no, but hey.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
He was a great player, Scott brochees. But anyway, look
like your weird uncle. I saw some people on John
Boy talking about it. I saw Rose talking about it.
I saw a lot of people talking about the first
impression that he made with fans and with the team.
He was throwing some balls into the stands. He was
having a lot of fun. He's an electric sort of guy.
I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
My impression of him as a Yankee was he got
knocked out at second base.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh yeah, yeah he did. He had a collision at
second base, but he was okay. So agatting hat backwards,
neon glove, neon belt, and a lot of jewelry. First impressions,
Let's talk about them. I think they're important. That's why
I get on Rich sometimes when he's wearing flip flops
to work.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
You never know who's gonna be there. That I didn't
know who's gonna be here.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
And I don't wear flip fuffs wi work because I
go to the gym after wear. So you're talking about
things I did a decade ago. Dude, that's so false.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Bro, I don't think I've ever wore flipuffs here. So crocs,
whatever you're wearing, I don't like it. So because you.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Never know, I remember crocs on right now. Well, I
wouldn't brag about that's not surprising. I know, profeed, you're
the biggest fan. So eight seven seven ninety nine out fox.
Let's talk about first impressions. Are they really lasting impressions?
Can you change them?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
And that whole thought rich of Yeah, you could do
whatever you want if you're producing, but it also is
going to stand out a lot more when you're not producing.
It's like that kid, even on your little league team,
and you could think it back to your earliest days.
There was some kid who stepped up to little league,
stepped up to the plate and thought he was Deon
Sanders writing dollar signs into the batter's box. He had

(04:52):
all the high gear, and he was flashy with his
wristbands and.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
His eye black and he was striking out all the time.
I mean, like you remember that. That's embarrassing. I played
softball at Central Park once in New York City. We're
in Central Park, filled in on a buddy's team. There
was a guy in the other team. He had elbow guard.
He had like Barry Bonds. Barry Bonds had that core
like that big guard on. This had wristbands, batting gloves.

(05:17):
He was wearing stirrups baseball pants. He was on the
other team.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
This guy got up everyone just by nature be like,
you'll take a step back, maybe he's got some pop,
he must be good. He was the worst dude. I'm
not surprised. How often does that happen. So if you're
gonna bring that flash, you better be bringing it during
the game in life, whatever the case may be. Like
you ever play pool at a bar and some guy

(05:42):
shows up like he's Minnesota Fats and he takes out
his own pool stick and he's he's screwing it together.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
He's like, oh man, this guy means business. If you're
an athlete. If you're an athlete or you like games
and stuff, I was. I haven't had one in a
long time, but when I was younger, I had my
own bowling ball, and I always felt really weird. If
like friends would say, hey, we're all going bowling tonight.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
I would always be like, do I bring my ball?
Because then I look like that guy.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, better beat everyone ball.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
That's the point here With Jazz Chisholm, Look, he is
who he is, and you gotta love and respect that.
I think that's cool. And he said all the right things,
like it's a dream come true playing for the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
You love to hear stuff of that.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yankee fans are so arrogant, like you want because you want,
he said, but you got you.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'd being jealous, you weak Mets fan.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Has a guy ever joined the Dodgers and your first
thought is like, yeah, he said all the right things,
like he's proud to be a Dodger. That's not a
good thing to say to it over fans. But do
you understand how ridiculous that sounds? Then tell him, I'm
telling you what he said.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Why don't you tweet at him?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
You cry baby? Why don't you give him a yep review?
Sports baby? Why don't you throw your flip flop at him?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
You make it seem like everyone should be so proud
what he said?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
God like, he came out a little flashy, but ed
he said all the cool things.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
We like that as fans, do we not? So based
on that?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I want to know the added pressure on having to
deliver when you're extra flashy and first impressions.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
All right? He backed up? He backed it up right
last year in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, you're telling me going into that season when Sauce
Gardener had these big medallion, shiny jewelry, and you know
the guy calls himself Sauce, you're telling me that he
didn't come with some like you know, you made me
pretty good, you're our you're you know where. He was
a top pick for the Jets and he comes with
a name, a nickname, and a reputation.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
You don't think there's a little extra pressure to deliver.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I think so. And maybe people put that added pressure
on themselves. Look, you gotta fit that name, you gotta
fit that vibe, because if you don't deliver, it stands
out that much more. Like, again, that's another good one.
The nickname. It has to also match your right, you
have to bring it. If you're sauce Gardner, you better
bring that sauce. Don't be bringing that weak sauce.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Like.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
There's a guy who does Yankees broadcasts.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Right, he's a former player from the Rays, former Yankee
brief moment with the Yankees, but he's a broadcaster now.
His name's John Flaherty. He was a backup catcher. He
was a great catcher. He's a great broadcaster. But his
nickname is Flash. I'm like, this guy does not bring
the flash.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Like, if your nickname is Flash, you better bring some pizzazz.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
So again, first impressions, I'll give you a story, right, Flash,
I'll never forget this. Sometimes you need to tone it down,
maybe just cause you're setting weird or false or high
expectations where maybe you shouldn't. Are you gotta talk about
When spottra to get us to call him t bone, Yeah,
it didn't match his vibe.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'm like, you're a t bone.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I you got t bone. You don't see M like
a t bone TV. So we gave him a nickname,
a fit spot. I remember the first time I an
ex girl friend of mine, ex girlfriend. It was a mistake.
I think looking back, I made a mistake. You could say, nah, man,
you're being true to who you are, like Jazz Chisholm
was being true to who he was right. An ex

(09:11):
girlfriend invited me to dinner to meet her parents, and
I had never met her parents before, and they were
like all school Italian parents, like they barely spoke English
kind of family.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
And I showed up.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I showed up in my heyday of like most wheedled out.
I could possibly be this is pre Jersey Shore. This
is just I was obnoxious. You think I'm obnoxious now.
I had a chain that was so thick and gaudy,
a Gucci link silver chain. I had hoop ear rings.
I was the worst. I had a pull d haircut.
It was the weakest. But again, I'm from Jersey, right, dude.

(09:45):
I showed up at their table with ear rings on.
I even had the top piercing too. I had that
bad boy And I remember her dad like cursing me
out in Italian because I made the weakest impression.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
He thought I was like a how can I say this?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't think you can. He felt that I was
like a Beckwards mechanic. He thought I was a little foofie.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, he didn't like.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
He didn't like my vibe, but he I knew what
he was saying, like because I knew some of those
words from the sopranos, Like.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I knew what that meant.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
And I'm like, I can't believe this dude put it
this way. I left a really bad first impression.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I really did.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I should have toned it down well, presented myself in
a nice present their family type of way. Cavino, you know,
to quote what he says about the Yankees, Cavino says
all the right things, But there have been meetings where
we've gone to why does that bother? Where Cavino has
kept his sunglasses on throughout the meeting, and in name
one we were I'll tell.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
You one right off the top of my head.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I could name him, but if you want me to
name one, he went to a rooftop restaurant and it
wasn't that, And it wasn't that Sonny here, this guy,
no one else, no one else, because everyone.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Else a nerd.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's why it's a rooftop bar. That's the rooftop bar.
I'm wearing sunglasses. I'm the worst guy. Give me a break.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm listening. We got the
conclusion everyone else was a nerd.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
So what you're saying is I could have left a
bad impression on people that we were doing business.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
And that's the reminder, know you, But you don't realize that.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
What if someone's like, can you believe this guy didn't
even take his sun less off?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
And look the eyes?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
You see the fine line of being me right, Hey,
mind your business, I'm being Are you an analogy that
you'll like? Danny will like? But some people will roll
their eyes. And I don't care if you're watching The Bachelorette,
which is great television. I don't care if you hate it.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
I hate you.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
If you watch The Bachelorette, it is wild to watch
these guys come out because they all try to out
alpha the other dudes.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
And it really is about.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
First impressions these dating shows, Danny, I'm sure you and
Brenda are watching Too Hot to Handle or all these
random dating shows.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Really are the first impressions they're.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Putting out there.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Some hot girl walks, oh we were, they're adding two
new girls, they come strutting in, They're making an impression.
It's all a bad impressions, all about impressions, and you're
seeing it.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
He got his first hit at his last at bat
during his debut game with the Yankees. Let us know
what he earns his pinstripes. Well, he hasn't worn him yet,
so I'll keep you posted. But again, he came out
with all these neon colors, and again it just looks
so on.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm saying you're just not used to seeing it with
the Yankees, and I think it's refreshing.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Let me make that clear. I do.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
But again, you gotta back it up, or you gotta
or you gotta balance it. I have a question for
you though, Yeah, based on jazz chism, it doesn't need
to just be about the Yankees. This could be an
NFL locker room, This could be a baseball clubhouse, This could.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Be NBA locker room.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
When a guy joins a team, you always say this
about the workplace, like whose job is it to create?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Who to welcome? Who welcome? Who?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Is it the team to be like, Yo, welcome to
the crew, or is it the new guys job to
sort of make an impression?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Now?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Does it matter if the team's struggling? Does it matter
if the team is doing well? Like when Antonio Pierce
took over for the Raiders, he alphaed his way. I
mean he's already on the coaching staff, but Antonio Pierce
was pretty much like, Yo, alpha dog, this is my
team now, and here's how it's gonna be. And Danny,
you and the fans and the team seem to respond.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, And when somebody you're already a little bit familiar with,
like those guys knew him from being an assistant coach,
and they knew he was an alphabet. He was just
waiting his turn to maybe get the head spot one day,
and he got it and boom hit the ground running.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I'll give you a guy with a good clubhouse presence,
as they say, a guy that used to be on
your team now he's a Met, and you're like, oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Harrison Bader. Yeah, just seems like a good, solid, hardworking player.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Like there's certain guys you're like, well, if they join
a team, do they are they the one that then
sets the tone because there's also if you want to
talk your Yankees, I'll mention my Mets for a second.
They acquired Jesse Winker, formerly of the Reds Mariners.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
He was on the Brewers for a second.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Jesse Winker if you remember, you might remember this because
you were living in New York maybe at the time,
or you knew of it. He would taunt the Met
fans for fun because he's a New York guy. He
would wave at them, he would wink at him, Jesse Winker,
And there was a part of me that's like, Yo,
this is a guy that with toy with the Mets
for fun, Like if he'd hit a home run, he'd

(14:22):
wave at the fans.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
And now he's on the team, You're the king of that.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
Rich with Richard Sherman going from the Seahawks to the Niners,
you know, like I mean, it's just happening with all
of your guys.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
I would say this that if you acquire a player
like the Yankees did with Jazz, that is enough to
say we want you.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Like, I don't think that they have to go out
of their way. I do think I want.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
Jazz chiers On to be like, man, I'm excited to
be a Yankee, Like, I'm with that. Like, I think
the team going after you and acquiring you says enough
of how they already feel about you. Because if they
didn't want you, if they didn't think you were important,
they wouldn't have traded for you in the first.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
If you're a trade deadline Act quisition, Dan Bayer, you're
so right deeed being nail the two. If you're a
trade deadline acquisition, there's even an extra sense of Yo,
we want you, so bring We're looking at it like
we're a playoff team, we're up sellers, we're buying, and
we're buying you because we think you. Jassishm will help
this team get to the next level. So he should
come in there with it with a little flash, with

(15:21):
some flash, but also a sense of you know, they
want me, so I'm gonna bring me. So think about it, guys.
First impressions. We're seeing it now with the trade deadline,
new players on new teams.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
You've been there at your workplace. It's that interesting balance
of you're bringing you, how much of you should you bring?

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Right?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
But if they want you and they hired you to
be you, you bring all of you because they need you.
And then there's that balance of well, who is warming
up to who? It should be a mutual thing, but
it doesn't always work that way. It isn't There's some
people there that are a little reluctant, like who's the
new guy? I don't know if I like him yet,
and they have this vibe about, well, he's got to
win me over. I don't play that game. I don't

(16:00):
like it. But you got to put your best foot forward.
It's got to be a respectful situation. And we're gonna
see it go down even more come tomorrow when the
deadline is and we're gonna talk about Aaron Rodgers in
a little bit on the show. But you know, elite
quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins, who now has
a new team do they make an impression right away?

(16:22):
Like do they bring what they do to that new
team or do they try to fit in? You know,
I want to know Danny G too, because Danny G,
you're a flashy type of guy. Right if you started
a new job, are you rolling in all Raiders gear
and sunglasses?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Because that could rup other people away? Right?

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Oh, you have to you start out conservatively, Like I
picture it like this, the way we get all dressed
up fresh for the super Bowl when we're on the
set on our big Fox Sports radio stage. That's when
we like set our outfits out the night before and
who you are? Yeah, and you get your chain ready
and your best sunglasses and all that. But you know
I'm going to a brand new job like that or.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Because think about what happens in real life? Or did
you hear about the new guy who you mean sunglasses?
I mean, like, is that the impression you want to give?
But in this case, Dan Byer made it very clear
that's who they wanted, So for him to show up
any other way it would have been odd. And don't
let it be mistaken. He came out in his first

(17:21):
appearance in the Yankee uniform hat backwards like that intentionally,
you know how, this is who I am, this is
how it's gonna be.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
You know how.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
There are certain comedians. I remember Jimmy Fallon talking about
how he always feels like there's a sense that he
has to perform.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, like if there's an event, then.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
The always looking for the punch, Like there's always someone
like hey, if someone's singing on stage, there's always a
like he feels the pressure like should I get.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Up there and join in? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Do you think players in any sport that are known
to be like I said, those locker room clubhouse guys,
is there a pressure ference makers? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Like even though he's not an elite guy, but Gardner
Minshew when he joined the Raiders day an g. Do
you think there's a sense where they're like where he
is thinking to himself, Well, they wanted me, so I
got to bring the Minshew mania.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Is there? Yeah? For sure. Did you see his photo
shoot on Raiders media Day.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
See that's a great example, right, he feels like, well
they want me, so.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
He posed like an animal.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
I got to bring me first impressions, making them work
for you to your advantage. Stories If you want to

Speaker 1 (19:17):
I have a question for everyone in the room and
the answer will let me know the type of guy
you are.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
And it has to do a jazz chisselm. Believe it
or not. Okay, give me enough.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
If you were to play softball, or if you were
to go to the gym and play some pickup hoops.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
If someone said to you, Cavino, yeah, I gotta ask, like,
what position do you play? What is your answer? What's
the right answer? What position? Whatever position you want me
to play.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Right answer, and I nail it when there's new guys
that joined Damn, like a softball team that I play on,
or any rex sports.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
If someone starts saying things.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like, oh my god, I'm probably I only play third
base or short and uh, you know, I'm usually batting
at the heart of the lineup.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
That guy is a they guy's paying the.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
S He's also setting a weird first impression right, so
now he has to deliver.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I just want to say that anytime you're new in
the world of sports, or even at your company, if
the boss is like, hey can you do this or that? Hey, yo, boss,
whatever you need, I'm the guy or woman for the job.
Whatever you need, I could do it.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
If you start barking out orders right away, I think
he'd come across like honestly like a pain and jazz
Chisholm another notch in his backwards hat.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Mm hm.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
He said, listen, I'm open to move anywhere if you
want me to play third, Because apparently Glaber Torres is
being a little whiny baby boy.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
About saying drama.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
He's saying that he's a second baseman and he doesn't
want to move to third if they need him to
play there.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Chisholm said, listen, I'm up to playing third base. I
want to do anything I could do to help this
Yankees team win, you know how. Glaber Torres on the
other hand, said, yeah, I'm.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Not moving the hot corner. Yeah, that's an odd way
to handle this new guy coming no offense.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
You're not a Rod and Jeter when you had two
Hall of famers on the same side of the infield
and it was like, all right, you know a Rod
will play third it's Jeter's team.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
But what did Yogi say?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
The game is ninety percent mental and the other fifty
percent is physical labor. Torres is sort of a head case.
When they moved him to shortstop, he couldn't handle it.
So that's where it's coming from, I think. But that's
not how you approach things now. Before we get into it.
It's music, it's sports, it's work, it's anything. If someone
if the boss or someone that's running in you're the

(21:44):
new one, the newbie, and they ask you, yeah, where
do you play?

Speaker 3 (21:48):
What do you do? That's your opportunity to say, I'm
a team player, y'all, I could do it all. You
want me to play infield? Outfield, whatever you need.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Imagine if that's how he came into Fox Sports Radio.
Just to put in perspective like I only do afternoon mornings, maybe.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Nights, weekends, get out of here. I don't do that
me weekends, not overnights. I can so the medical things.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Only do the Dan Patrick ty.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, yeah, Look, I'm just saying, put that into your
own perspective, your own life.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's not how it really flies. I can't do a
show until I have my coffee. But just to show
you the opposite Labor Torres.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Who this is the funny part.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
He leads the American League in errors by a second baseman. Meanwhile,
he said, quote, I'm a second baseman. I play second base.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well hold on.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
That ties into the Aaron Rodgers story we're getting into later,
Like if you're the guy making all these errors, can
you be calling the shots. We'll explain when we talk
Aaron Rodgers. But before we get to Dan Byer, quick
story about my first impression about Rich. We got our
first impression of Jazz Chisholm with the Yankees. My first
impression of Rich I hadn't met him. I had mutual friends.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
You're like, oh wait till you meet Rich Davis. What
a guy. They're gonna love him.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
He loves women in baseball like you. I was like,
Oh cool, can't wait to meet this guy. So I
go to this place called the Planet in Hoboken, which
was a hot spot back in the early two thousand
two Hoboken, New Jersey. And I'm there and I walk
into the place and I'm like, yeah, where's Rich Davis?

(23:18):
And the mutual friends point up at the stage like
he's up there, and I swear to God, I look
up at the stage and Rich is on stage throwing
T shirts out to like all the people there, like
like whizzing them out there like like a cartoon can.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
And pouring shots down people's mouths.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Shot right. So I'm like, oh, what a clown man.
Oh I didn't know Rich was working. I assumed he
was working, right, Oh, he's he's at this is a
radio event because he was a top forty DJ in
New York City. I'm like, did he have sparklers too?
It was obnoxious. It was like he was on the
stage throw basically throwing shirts at people, and the spotlight

(23:54):
was on him. I'm like, that's Rich Davis. And he
gets down from stage, He's all pumped about it, and
I'm like, hey man, nice to meet you. I was like,
I didn't know you were working tonight, and he's like,
I'm not. He wasn't even.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Working, guys.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I was friends with the manager of the and I
threw a model. I would do that in exchange you
with my friends drink for free tension seeking ham.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
This guy is he wasn't even working that night. He
was just playing up the crowd. That's my first impression
and lasting of Rich Davis. I should have known back then.
You should have you know what. I have my impression
to you. But I want to go to Dan Buyer first. Heyb,
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
I did like the higher pitched I am. That was.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:37):
That was that was nice. Oh man.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
All right, let's talk some Olympics because today the US
women's national basketball team took on Japan and group player.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
Look inside and Wilson's traditionships through the contact.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
Asia Wilson twenty four points has heard it on NBC.
They topped Japan today one or two to seventy six.
Brand of Stewart twenty two points for the Americans as well.
US men's basketball coach Steve Kurt told reporters that Jason
Tatum will play in their game Wednesday against South Sudan
after not playing at all.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Tatum, how come it was such a big deal? Is
it a big deal though he didn't play in that last.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
Game because he's Jason Tatum of the world champion Boston Celtics.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
But can't he have a day off without it being
a big deal.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
There's a lot of all stars and minutes orre you know,
maybe the matchup didn't make sense, and I don't know,
I feel like it's a non storry at you guys.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
You guys sound like sensible basketball fans who watched the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Absolutely just making sure we didn't miss anything.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
No.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I saw on social media a lot of chirp. Honestly,
it's my whole problem.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
Like I get so tired of the NBA and all
the drama for the nine months that it takes place.
So then we go to the Olympics. How about just
cheering for Team USA and enjoying it. But instead it's this,
what didn't Tatum play out? Oh, I'm mad about Haliburton
not playing.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
The hell, well, I'm sure they'll get minutes. Curs that
even felt silly about it?

Speaker 3 (25:58):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Aaron Rodgers angry at sloppy Jets offense after being stepped
on in practice. He was stepped on by one of
his linemen. He was sacked on back to back plays.
Balls are tipping off the fingers of his receivers. So
Aaron Rodgers apparently not hurt, but very angry. Monday was

(26:21):
that kind of day, the first this summer in full
pads and tempers were flaring.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Tight end.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Tyler Conklin said, Yeah, it was a little frustrating as
an offense, especially after having some really good days together.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
We're excited to put the pads on and do it,
and it just didn't work out. They had a bad
day out there. I guess you could say now, Aaron Rodgers,
I don't want to talk out of both sides of
my mouth here. It's okay to speculate, but to explore
all angles. When Aaron Rodgers took his trip to Egypt, yeah,

(26:54):
to check out the pyramids.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
He missed some mandatory camp.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Dates and he downplayed saying like yo, I don't know
why Robert Saal even said anything. It was while it
was unexcused, he knew were good, and I even backed
up Aaron Rodgers saying, listen, he could be a peculiar guy.
People can bust his chops, but it's Aaron Rodgers missing
a couple days of practice is not gonna make one

(27:18):
of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
And we've seen its stayed for superstars before. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
I always love to go back to the example of
Roger Clements towards the end of his career didn't go
on road trips if he didn't have to. He's like, yeah,
I'm not gonna travel if I'm not pitching, right, So
I get it. I was actually I would laugh at
the people that said Aaron Rodgers needs to be there
at the practices because my thought was, it's Aaron Rodgers.
This is a guy that battled back that if the

(27:44):
Jets were any good last year, he would have actually
been able to somehow recover from the Achilles and play
at the end of the year.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
But it just wasn't worth Well.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
You could have laughed at me because I think you
lead by example, and I think leadership starts at the
top with the guy like Aaron Rodgers who wants to
show the team like, yo, I'm here so you gotta
be here, and I'm gonna work hard, so you work hard.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
But to quote Aaron Rodgers, it was a bigger deal
outside the building than inside the building. Ye yeah, I
believe that. I mean that's with everything, right, everything.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
You know, a guy like Aaron Rodgers, and he's not
Tom Brady level because Tom's got those seven rings, six
more than Aaron has. But when you're dealing with an
elite QB like that, those young players on the team
look up to them. I don't think they're saying, well,
Arizon here, what do I gotta be here?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I i' you're twenty two and you just made the roster.
Aaron Rodgers is you know, almost forty, and he's one
of the best. However, boy, this is where I'm not
talking out of both sides, but I have to mix
something clear. You can't be Aaron Rodgers now and get
all critical. It's like the boss that's not involved in
the project at work and then comes in he's like,
what the hell's going on here?

Speaker 3 (28:47):
No, It's like me, dude, can I explain you.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I'm the perfect example because I was a lazy kid
growing up who really did nothing as far as to
help my family with anything.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I mean, I did a lot of stuff for me.
But let's say my.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Dad was painting the living room, I'd be the kid
who just woke up around two o'clock and then walked
in and till my daddy missed the spot, and it's.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Like, hey, why don't you get out of your mindy business?

Speaker 3 (29:12):
I kick you, right, Dad, you missed a spot.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
And that's when I learned early on, Or like if
my dad was mowing the lawn and I just woke up, like, yeah, hey,
what about that spot over there?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Hey, why don't you kiss up? Right? What I learned
is I don't really have much of a say if
I'm not helping out.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I mean, listen, we're going on a guy's football trip,
and Kevi, you knows how good at booking stuff. So
I booked your airline right and your hotel. Now I
did that because you're my boy, and I know you
hate doing that stuff. You can't now be like yo, bro,
I gotta you know. I don't like alliel seats like
you gotta.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Be a matter of like is it sort of like
beggars can't be choosers sort of thing?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
In a way, but a way, I just think Aaron
Rodgers and you know, Danny backpaper or not, Like, I
don't think the him missing the mandatories that big of
a deal. But I think day one in pads, he
can't be complaining because it just doesn't optically look right
because you're the dude that just mispractice.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
At least wait till we get to the first your
first preseason game, and after that game, if you want
to say something, maybe, But this goes back to last week.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
We were talking about Aaron Rodgers off the air.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Remember we're saying he's the guy who wants everybody to
look at him because he knows he affects the conversation.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
He gave that away his Egyptian cat shirt last week.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
And it bugs me because there's some days where you
guys in our group chat were preparing show notes and
topics and you guys are like, did you see Aaron
Rodgers said this and he did this?

Speaker 3 (30:39):
And I'm like, oh man, I don't want to hear
about him right now because that's what he wants.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
Yeah, right right, you're feeding I feel like we're feeding
into what exactly he wants.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
He laughs like, ah, I got even talk about him again.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Glabor Torres can't talk about who should be playing second
base when he's making all the errors. I can't be
telling my dad he hung up the picture crooked when
I didn't help him at all.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Where do you want to start, Danny G? You want
to start with t Sean? Where do you want to go?

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yeah, let's start. Let's keep it on the Rogers topic.
Sean in sack down.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
What's up? Sean?

Speaker 10 (31:08):
Yeah? My fellow tire rag mags what up?

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Y'allo?

Speaker 10 (31:13):
So, man, I feel like Aaron Rodgers is pulling the
ultimate jerk move, and you know what, it kind of
reminds me of man And I hate to bring this
to a relationship topic like my matter rich always does.
But like your girl is getting dressed or strolling on
her phone, not really paying attention, and then she says, hey,
where do you want to eat today? And we could
go wherever you want to eat, wherever you want to go,
And you picked the grossest hole in the wall bar

(31:36):
where you know you and your boys are good to
hang out with. And all she does is complain that
is stink and the food is bad. Why would you
choose this place? You did nothing You had every little
bit of time to sit there and try to help
plan and get us together and put together with a
nice consensus, and you did nothing. And you want to
see her complain?

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Come on, man, let me what's a great example.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
If you're planning, let's say, a vacation or a dinner.
Like just said, you plan this whole vacation. You got
no help from anybody else. Those people who didn't help
really don't have a whole lot of room to complain.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
But it's a bad look.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
He's the quarterback, but he's a quarterbaveat and he's Aaron
Rodgers and the Jets will go, but he's on how
he goes?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Can we borrow a page from the sports story here?
And next time you plan a trip or you do something,
can you just be like, oh, listen, are you essentially
the quarterback of that situation?

Speaker 3 (32:27):
No, man, I'm running this show. You do it.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Next time, I'm gonna tell my wife I'm allowed to
complain Aaron Rodgers of this quarterback.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
That's really the flip side of it is like, oh,
I'm the quarterback. Let's say, what's up to Bruno in Brooklyn?
What's up Bruno?

Speaker 7 (32:43):
Brothers? Hey, man, I love the topic because it's it's
deep in my hard as a diehard Jet fan for
a thousand years.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
And what I want to.

Speaker 7 (32:50):
Say is this, I think I think Rogers has got
this point of deal where that offensive line got his
bought kick last year. He's a little gunshot. I have
to get this leg torn up. And I think he's
concerned because Hackett they haven't. I mean, I guess it's
a practice, but Hackett is not a good coordinator. I
think he's worried he's going to get trashed again this year.

(33:11):
So I think he's really in a bad position in
his mind. He's thinking, we got to improve this out
to the point where he hasn't been there a week
is going to change who this guy is. Yeah, but
I agree same time he has concerns over last year
and he should.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
I mean, even though he's played in the league for
roughly two decades, Aaron Rodgers has every reason to be
a little gun shy. You're right because what happened his
first series is in New York Jet blown coverage, blown,
you know, and he gets and every Achilles to express
where the problem is because it's practice, and that's what
you do.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
You call out the issues. You call out the problem
so that you can fix them come game time. That's
a practice is four, so you got to keep that
in mind as well. This is the time to iron
out these problems. It might hurt some feelings, but what
you're a grown up, you're a professional.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Get it right.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Let's get it right so that we don't have to
have these conversations. And it's suppose these frustrations when it
matters during the actual game. Thank you man eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich If
you want to chime in some more now, Rich, I
know you have a story about a celebrity you ran into.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
I do, but I want Dan Byers thought. Just to
back that up.

Speaker 6 (34:16):
We're talking about practice, not a game, right, were not
a game. We're talking about practice, not a game.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Practice. There it is there, It is all right, yoh dB.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know what's funny about the Jets is that because
you know, we're sort of soft launching Aaron Rodgers back
into NFL Super Quarterback play. Yeah, they start out against
my forty nine ers, which is like it's like welcome back,
no soft launch, no, But then then they have a
couple of games against some teams that the Jets should

(34:48):
possibly take care of. Titans, Patriots, Broncos are next on
the schedule, but they do start primetime Monday night against
the forty nine ers, like welcome back Aaron Rod the
one good thing.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
And I was actually about this today.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
It's funny because I'm like, at least because it's in
San Francisco, right, at least it's on grass. They're not
putting them on an artificial surface where who knows what happens.
It's doing him no favors with the forty nine Ers
being his opponent, but at least he's starting on grass.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Nick Moosa is licking his chops already. Nick Bosa is
watching these highlights saying who he is?

Speaker 6 (35:21):
Yeah, gosh, you get past that. You got Titans, Patriots
and Broncos and Vikings in your next four weeks.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yes, Jets could get off to the hot start, absolutely, so
thank you better if they're going to win the Super Bowl,
like USA today said.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
That's true, Tea and Georgia, what's going on? Man? T
had to thought about first impressions?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
What's up? What's up?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Fellas?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
CN, how y'all feeling today?

Speaker 3 (35:41):
We're good? Man?

Speaker 4 (35:41):
What's something all right? Listen. So I'm a big advocate
for first impressions. I have the first time I've listened
to your show maybe a year and a half ago,
and I think it was like literally the intro to
your show that got me hooked into it, because again,
the worldwide leaders nonsense has got to be one of

(36:01):
the greatest pull lines I've ever heard in my life.
And so I had to figure out what was what
was that I had to listen to, and then y'all delivered.
So not saying that y'all are complete nonsense, it's just
you know, yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yeah, sports is fun, man, There's room for all of it.
That's how I see it. But that's also a great reminder,
and you hear a lot of athletes say it. You
never know when someone's watching you for the first time,
when someone's listening for the first time, or when you're
actually making that first impression, which.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Is why you always got to bring your a game. Man.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Can't take days off, can't be lazy about stuff. So hey,
thanks a lot, man, I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Take Now, there's a Lebron James story and it sort
of ties into a thought about how to take pictures
or not with a famous person.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Actually, there are two stories that there a Snoop Dogg
story that's right with Simone biles mom.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Simone biles mom back in the day has a story
where they had met Snoop. Now this is before I'm
guessing Simoon Biles is a yeah, it's like ten years
per star. This is you know this before she's one
of the you know, top Olympians you can name off
the top of your head.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
You said times square, I think twenty ten.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, so she's a little kid and Snoop Dogg apparently said, yeah, yeah,
one second.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
He see it, give me, give me two minutes and
I'll take that picture with you.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
And I never came back right, bounced, bounced, and she
remembered and now tells the story when she sees Snoop
carrying what looks like a big joint but it was
actually the torch, which I thought was funny, Like I
was like, man, Snoop Dogg, people, man, he's really smoking
that on TV say he's really pushing the limpits crazy
for this new NBC.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
My goodness. So that was one story. Snoop Dogg.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
You never know, and I'm sure you know no hard
feelings now, but it is funny to think that Simoon
Biles is probably a top three Olympian that you can
name R and Snoop disturs again. She called him out
on it all these years later as they were taking pictures.
And the other story involves Lebron James and I know

(38:15):
you wanted to talk about that. Lebron, you have it
in front of you.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
Who is.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Who is the Olympian that he took a picture?

Speaker 8 (38:23):
In?

Speaker 2 (38:23):
The USA track and Field athlete Charlie Hawkins. She shared
a throwback and a current photo with Lebron after the
opening ceremonies. Again from fan. It was just a fan.
She was there at an event with her dad or
something like that. As she tells them the story, Cherry
Hawkins was there, She's a little kid, and she takes
a picture with Lebron James and now they're teammates and

(38:44):
they take a picture all these years later. So it
poses the question based on something that happened to Rich
over the weekend of when's an appropriate time in place
to ask people for a quick selfie?

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Is it okay? Sometimes?

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I was at the airport two weeks ago Nork Airport
went home to visit the family. And I'm there with
my kid and I'm just hanging around at the bag terminal.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
But do you beatlejuice? Just hanging around. I was by
that conveyor thing.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I was by the bag baggage claim and you know
the bage that thing that the bag, you know the treadmill.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
For the pluggage. Yeah, that thing. And I'm just looking
at this dude. I'm like, who is that guy?

Speaker 2 (39:34):
And I'm like, oh, it's Tommy Cutlets. And it was
Tommy DeVito of the New York Football Giants and he
was there with two botch of loops, two of his buddies.
Well he's not still on the Giants, is he? Well, Tommy, yeah,
I think so.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, but he's not on the team. He hasn't made
the team as far as I know.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
So Tommy DeVito, who was the talk of the town
last year, was at the airport, the Nork Airport, and
I'm sitting there and I'm sort of sizing them up,
because that's what you do. I wasn't checking him out here.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Tommy DeVito quote according to NFL dot Com as of
hours ago. Because the Giants are still trying to put
together their roster.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
It would be a.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Gamble for the Giants to cut me. It will be
a gamble, a gamble you don't want to take, right.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
He did say that it was like a slick manager.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, yeah, Pauli Walnuts his manager. Yeah, he said, hey,
you gotta take him, but don't. Oh what do I know? Oh,
so Tommy DeVito is saying, not just happy to be
in camp, he's battling for a spot.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Yeah. Yeah, he's third because they got Tyrod Taylor.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
I looked it up when when I was at the airport,
so I was like Melody.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I go to my daughter. She's like that, who is that?
And I'm like, that's Tommy Cutlets. She's like, who is that?

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Someone's getting no horses. So I showed her a picture.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
I'm like, he's the quarterback of the Giants and she goes, well,
you're on Fox Sports Radio. Why don't you go and
say hi? And I'm like, I'm sitting there debating. I'm like,
I feel like it's such like a fanboy, Like what
a nerd? I feel like he's a young dude. I'm like,
I'm there with my daughter. Yeah, but I feel cool
in my own right.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
I don't want to be like submissive to him, like, yeah,
you're a great third string cornerback.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
It's a third string quarterback. He should have been asking
you for your autography.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
My ego says the same, Danny g But I know
that's not true.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
I mean, take your sunglasses off when you went over
to approach him.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
So my daughter was like, Dad, just take a selfie
with him. It'll be good for the show and it'll
be funny. He'll appreciate it. And then I have that
internal debate of well, how could he not think it's
cool in front of his boys that another grown man
who I think is cool me wants a photo with him.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Right, But dude, I gotta tell you, I chickened down
because I didn't want to bother him in his personal
moment at the airport. But what I did observe too
rich is his real life. Like he was picked up
at the airport by his parents.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
That sweet, just the same way my dad will picking
me up his parents. He was sitting there waiting with
his bags and then like his parently Tommy give him
a hug.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
You know, those bags in the cars could have had
a conversation about football.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
About cutlets got Jersey parents.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I mean the point is I didn't do it because
I was like, well, what what's the etiquette?

Speaker 3 (42:17):
So let's break it down.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
I could have had a funny photo to share with
you guys, could have posted it on I should have
did it for the gram. But I here's what I
feared too. Can you imagine if he was like, hey,
I'm a little busy in front of my daughter, I
would have felt this big. I would have felt so lame.
If Tommy DeVito was like, yeah, how about no, I
would have been like.

Speaker 7 (42:38):
What dude.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
I would have felt so dumb about that.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
And I didn't want to take that risk of him
dissing me when I was just kind of just being
I would have just been nice about it.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
That's called Kaepernick, by the way. I didn't want what
we're gonna cut the Caepernick? And then Rich had a
story too this weekend. I'll give demmired that I blow it.
I went for the photo op.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
No.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
I think he played the right move. I had a
similar situation with Tarrell Owens at an airport. Star yeah,
big star, but just sitting there chilling by himself, and you,
to your daughter's credit, you know she feel's dad's a
big deal Fox Sports Radio. There's a connection. And I
thought to myself, Okay, should I this was years ago.
Should I go over there and say, like, would I

(43:19):
get the behind the velvet rope treatment?

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (43:22):
To like respect, I left him alone, and about a
year or two later, we had him on radio row
at the Super Bowl in Houston, and I asked him.
I said, I saw you at the airport and I
thought about going up to you and talking to you,
but I didn't. Did I make the right move? I
didn't get done with oove in move before He said, yes,
you did not want to, And I thought about him, like, yeah,

(43:43):
it would totally have been for me like that, It's
all about me, not about Tarrell Owens. So to your point,
I think you made the right move with the veto.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
I think there's there's levels of fame, celebrity and athlete
where I think there's some people that like it and
some people that are annoyed by it. We've said the
story a million times, but Tony Danza, hey, oh hey, Tony.
Tony Danza loves to tell the same thing to us
every time we see him, which is probably every five years.
We'll have him on for something, right, Tony Danza, who's

(44:13):
the boss taxi angels in the outfield.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
It's Tony Danza, my guys, he said, Hey, rich guys, Hey,
my guys.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
He always tells us I'm the perfect level of fame
and we say, Tony, what do you mean by that?
And Tony Danza loves to say, every time I could
take my metro card, see this, I could ride the
subway in New York, walk down the street in La.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
You know, people say hey Tony.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
They never stop me, they never bothered me, but everyone
loves to say, oh hey Tony.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Hey Tony Dany and it's ill, oh hey, oh hey
see you my guys now de la Mona Jennadin.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I think just the regular guy, I just the regular game.
I think if you're the hot person at the moment, listen,
if you're Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, don't bother them.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Talk to a girl.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Talk to a girl in two months is going to
wish someone no way, right, but even more of a
gamble if you oh it's hok to a girl and oh.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
I got to start is the best story ever. This
is why you don't want to take the risk, right,
My first diss. First, I'm a Niners fan. As you know,
we're in the VIP section, So I'm not saying that
because I'm important. I'm saying it out of context to
show you that I'm not just like cold approaching someone.
We're in the VIP section of a Super Bowl party

(45:25):
and I'm a Niners fan. And at the time, Kaepernick
was the quarterback before all the Kaepernick drama, he was
just the forty nine Ers quarterback.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
That's it. He was just a guy, just the guy,
not the face of like a whole costs. He was
just a dude. And I waited for his boys to
dip away.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
I waited for just a moment, whereas Kaepernick by himself
and he was just scrolling on his phone and I go, yo, cap,
big fan. Rich I work at the time, ESPN, work
at the ESPN Big Fan You okay, get a quick
selfie and he goes.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Yeah, nah nah and walked away, and I was like,
oh no oh. And then I was like, yeah, you'll
see what happens to you. And I feel like I won.
You'll see that car Let me tell you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
You gotta know there's a time and place and I
think that's what to was getting at with Van Byron.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
It's a better story of begetting this thing.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, but this is why I like, I thought that
Tommy DeVito won was a risk. And again there's more
to this story. You don't want to get this by
the guy. Because we were at say Stadium. This is
before City Field, I believe it was Shae Stadium. Right,
We're at a Mets game and we see this guy

(46:35):
and he's somebody who is that guy? And he has
all these pins on his jersey, all these pins us
Mets jersey now, and in the back of his jersey
he says, pin Man.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
I'm like, yo, Rich, check it out. Pinman.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
I never heard of pill Man, I had said to Cavino,
I don't really know much about Pinman. But coincidentally, the
night before, during the Mets game, Gary Keith and Ron
the Mets Brooks pointed out Pinman and they go, hey,
pin Man, one of the super Mets fans here at
Chase Stadium. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's so
funny they mentioned him last night.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Yeah, but every every team has their super fan that's
kind of like locally famous. This guy's not even really
locally famous. I never heard a pin Man and met fans.
No cow bell guy, right, I never heard a pin Man,
but they had just did a feature on him.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
He's no marlins Man, no no violator, He's no Clipper
Darrel or anything. Right.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
So Rich puts his pride aside and he marches right
up to him here like.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
I'm gonna they hide a pin Man, and I watch
and witness this whole thing, and he's like, hey, pin Man,
nice to meet you. I thought you featured this week.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
And the guy turns around and he goes your number
fifty three, and Rich was excuse me, He's like, you
had a fifty third person to tell me that today,
Nice to meet you. And he turns around.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Totally totally Rich, Rich, way to meet him.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Wait, yeah, he's like number fifty three he gave Rich
like I got number.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
He was out of DELI told him.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
To beat I got this by pinmaner your number fifty
fifty third guy to dumb me that for you? Yeah,
go for you? Yeah, I see you later. All right,
But listen the reason we're talking about this. If you're
just joining us, there's two fun stories. One where a
Snoop Dogg apparently dissimone Biles for a picture a decade ago.
We were at a party one time and I saw

(48:21):
this is true. I never told you this one Danny
g We saw Rich remembers. It was Jason Witton, Shannon
Sharp and.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
Sol This is great.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
It was like, yo, we're three legendary tight ends and
we're posing for a photo.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
And I was like, yo, I got a joke. I
was bold. I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe
I was buzzing. I was like, I gotta jump in
this photo and I and Bozos, Yeah, no, it's me.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
It was just me, three legends and me, and I
was like, this would be the greatest photo ever. This
photo needs some They get done taking their picture and
then I was like, yoo, what moren He goes to
jump in and they all look at him and like
they denied me.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Was dispersed.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yeah, I can't even say that they were rude about it.
I was in the wrong.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I would like, who am I to think I should
be in a photo with these three guys.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
They dismissed me so hard, But I learned a lesson.
That's the point. It was a good laugh.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
At least it was a good laugh, but The point
is there's a time and place and we're trying to
wrap up and figure out the etiquette in today's world
because it is a different world. There's not a need
for an autograph.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
You're gonna want that selfie, and then there's times that
just a simple hello is good enough and I'll give
you my story in thirty seconds.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yesterday I go with my wife.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Grandma and Grandpa got my kids, so my wife and
I were actually able to just spend time us, which
was wild. Anyone with kids knows that feeling.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
We'd go to breakfast yesterday at a place in Tarzana, California,
Mortz It's like an.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
Old school East Coast feel diner out here in La.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
There's a bakery Bee's Bakery connected to it, legendary place.
I'm sitting there having my little bacon, egg and cheese,
and guess who walks up in sits at the counter
like the diner counter by himself, m pain, mister T.
And I'm like, yo, it's mister T. He's all friendly looking.
I taken upon myself to be like, yo, mister T,

(50:17):
what's up? And he was so happy that I said
hello to him, and he goes, oh, God bless you. You
made my day, and I go, are.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
You kidding me? Clever Lang in the flesh? Maybe he
thought you were Eli Manning.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
His shut up, his face said, his face lit up,
and we talked to like five minutes, just like small talk.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
Mister T.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
You gotta remember this goes with my theory of who
is the person? Because mister T now someone bothered him
in nineteen eighty six when he's bea Baracus and he's
a Hulk Cogan's tag team partner and he's a Clever Lang.
That's one thing, but you don't think nowadays, mister T
loves a forty year old guy nostalgia.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
How'd you know it was him? He was wearing just overalls,
just overalls and a mohawk.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Pain mister T. Uh, I didn't you thank him for? Like,
hey man, you're I'm always a fan, and you.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Know what I did? I was like, my wife's like
you take a picture. I'm like no, no.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I pat him on the back of my way and
I have a great day, mister T. Don't bother anything.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
That's enough. That's enough. With that said, let's play a game.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Mm hmm, all right, Summer Games Trivia meet the contestants. Coveno,
two time gold medalist, Rich, three time bronze winner. Okay, buyer,
he's taking the podium ten times. Spotty is a one
time silver medalist, and Robin Texas is our contestants trying

Speaker 5 (52:58):

Unfortunately that's a few more days away.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
All right? Round two?

Speaker 5 (53:09):

said if you failed to prepare, you're prepared to fail
a Mia ham b Mark Spitz or see Mary lou rettin.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Mark spitz Rich, Mark spitz Rich, you are right Spitz
on that swamp. Yeah, there you go, yep.

Speaker 5 (53:30):
Mark Spitz said that you fail to prepare, you're prepared
to fail.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
All right, so far Rich on the board. Go a
podcast withalk to a girl. As we moved around? Three, Rob,
is your buzzer working?

Speaker 4 (53:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:44):
All right, go out swinging, Rob. Here we go Round three.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
Why did the Beijing Olympics two thousand and eight begin
at exactly eight oh eight oh eight pm on eight
eight eight A. The number eight is considered lucky in China.
BA had hosted a total of eight games or C
to honor China's eight provincial sectors.

Speaker 7 (54:07):
No see see oh Rob, No.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
Unfortunately, I'm glad you swung. But no, I don't know
what he guessed. I gotta be honest. That was it
Coveno Covino for the steal b.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
God.

Speaker 5 (54:23):
The number eight lucky is pronounced in Mandarin. The way
it's pronounced it sounds similar to the word for wealth
or prosperity, so they consider it lucky.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Can you pronounce that?

Speaker 4 (54:33):
No?

Speaker 3 (54:33):
I can't. All right, only rich on the board as
we moved around four Ni sanchi, I don't know. Yeah,
that's all I know.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
What were the only Olympics in which the distances and
the throwing events were measured in yards? Oh A nineteen
thirty two La Games, B, the nineteen oh four Saint
Louis Games, or C the nineteen sixty eight Mexico City Games.
It has to be rich trying to get the win.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Here. I'm gonna go nineteen oh four Saint Louis Games.

Speaker 5 (55:05):
And you are right, Yeah, come on, boom, rich wins, Yeah, boom.
Nineteen o four in Saint Louis they measured the throwing
events in yards.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Wow, rich with a big wind. You know why I
figure that.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
I figured that was when you were arrogant enough to
not realize the rest of the world.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Uses a differents so imperial. Hey Rob, nice try man,
appreciate you playing.
