Speaker 1 (00:22):
My wife and I taking the kids out for ice
cream the other night, and the question is where do
you go? I said, all right, kids, we're going to
Coldstone Creamery and my wife said, now, Basketting Robins.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
And I'm like, are you nuts?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Would anyone in this room choose basking Robins over Coldstone Creamery?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah? Thirty one flavors, let's go. It's simple. I don't
worry creamery. They mix it all up and it bubble.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's what I want to avoid. Sometimes I want to
be eat and out, like, hey, let's get out of here.
You get your cotton candy ice cream because kids always
love cotton candy ice cream. I'll get my chocolate chip
or cookie doing bounce. I don't need the whole song
and dance all the time. Every once in a while,
it's nice, like if you don't get ice cream all
that often, or it's a special event, or the kid
just performed that in assembly, or he won a game

(01:11):
and you want to get him something extra.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I think Coldstone creamy is a little extra. I don't know.
I kind of like it. I don't love it or
gotta have it, Dann Bye.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I feel like you're gonna be team rich on this Coldstone.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
This is I'm sorry. I can't just give you a
one word answer. I feel that there are almost two
different entities. Whereas Coldstone is like a five guys and
Baskin Robbins is McDonald's. So there is a bit of
an upper tier of burger. But it also just kind
of to what Cavino is saying, there's a difference means
to the occasion of what yeah, like yeah, it depends,

(01:44):
But if you're choosing one, I think Coldstone, like quality wise,
has got to be better.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, Danny g what do you think Coldstone? But I
have left Coldstone before and felt very fat.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You gotta have it, you gotta love it, like it,
gotta have it. It's too rich.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
So the smallest serving Coldstone will offer you, that's what
I would take. I would say, like for a weekly thing.
If you went once a week, it would be Baskin Robbins.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I also like to share though, the fact that when
I was a kid, Baskin Robbins was the big deal.
So I like to share that with my kids. Hey,
when Aunt Sharon took Dad the Baskin Robins, that meant something.
So here you go, let's share this experience together. They
had thirty one flavors back then.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
That was a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Divers not grow up with the frozen yogurt boom on
the East Coast.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, well that's our choice these days. Remember back of
the day. For a minute in the two thousands, pink
Berry was oh.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, there's still some.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
Location Frozen Yogurt Land and all this stuff. Perfet what's
the what was the Wasn't there like a Dippin' Dots place?
Or am I tripping? You mean the ice cream in
the future. Yeah, I loved Well, first off, I love Dippin' Dots,
But like, why don't we have Ben and Jerry's in
here as an option?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, Ben and Jerry, there's one right across the street
from the Fox Sports radio studio.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
But yeah, it's the same thing you get in the
Tubb at the store, like you can get fish food
in a waffle cone.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
I'll tell you why it's not an option because Rich
started the story saying, I'm going to Coldstone and his
wife said, we're not going to bask in Robbins, right,
that's right. I then didn't jump in and say why
aren't we going to Menchies?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Tell you if I was on the East Coast, Damn Bayer,
I would say what about Carvel or mister SOFTI I'm saying.
I said, it was like seven o'clock, our kids bedtime soon,
but dad wants ice cream. Everyone hop in the car,
and I was assuming Coltstone would be like, yay, right,
So if you have thoughts, we're not asking for dairy queen, right,
it's one of the other it's one of the other Sparfell.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Even do anything besides Fudgie the Whale.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Fudgie the Whale is great Puss and the flying Saucers,
And yeah, I love Carville Tom Carvell's legend on the
East Coast.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
But Rich, I think that.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
If you want simple, you want in and out, you
go basking Robins if it's a special occasion, and again
you want to impress the kids it's almost like the hibachi,
the teppanyaki of ice cream. You're making it in front
of you. It's a big deal in line too, though.
It's always busy at Coldstone, and it's supposed to be
an experience, meaning if you remember when you tip at Coldstone,

(04:14):
they were supposed to sing for it and ring a
belt or something. Yeah, it was supposed to be like
a whole extravaganza. So if you go there for that fun,
I get it. However, I will say this, they're both
really expensive. You think one is more expensive than the other, Dude,
they're both pretty feat The Coldstone's a little more expensive.
And I say this in a disgusted manner. For ice

(04:36):
cream servings two adults, two kids, cups forty bucks at
Coldstone Creamery.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
But it's so good. That was question one. You know,
Can I answer your question?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yes, what dad wants takes a back seat to what
WiFi and the kids want. If you could do both,
why not if you have time, But they take precedence.
So there's your answer. Well, if you want to know
the answer, if you really give a crap, which you
probably don't. We went to because I'm like, well, I'm
gonna get Coldson. If you dopes want bask and Robbins,
I'll stop at both. But I'm not giving up that

(05:06):
cake batter ice cream at Coldstone.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's so creamy and good.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
I get if you're gonna pick act, you want what
you want. Yeah, it's almost like there are times by
kids like I want McDonald's. I'm like, dad doesn't want
that crap. I want Chipotle, So you go to both?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay? Question one? Question two?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Have you ever bought the jersey or apparel of a cool,
funny minor league baseball team? Like I know, for a minute,
what was the the modesto nuts? Think about nuts on it. Yeah,
for a long time I wanted that one. I used
to rock the Greensboro Bats a lot because they were
a Yankees minor league affiliate and I had gone to

(05:40):
the stadium when I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, No, you know what, if you need options, I
think there are a lot of fun options and fun hats.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Why do you got one?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Because I remember at one point, remember when Robinson Cano
played for those like the SpongeBob team.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
For a minute, yeah, they had those uniforms.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
There's a new minor league team they're doing a weekend
special event the more Head Morehead City Marlins.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Already, I'm in tell me more.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
The Morehead City Marlins that play in the Coastal League
in Florida for the weekend are changing their name. They
are the Morehead City Booty Divers. Oh, I gotta get one,
and k Hernandez has to get one too, because he
was caught wearing a hat that said it but it
had nothing to do with base Yeah, but the Booty Divers,

(06:23):
meaning it looks like a pirate diving for booty best.
I mean, if you could get a Booty Divers jersey.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's fun.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, that's fun and funny, except for when you're picking
your kids up at school, then it may seem inappropriate
because that happens once in a while. I know you
got a little story about that, and I've done that too.
You're wearing something dumb because your friends gave it to you,
or it's like a gag gift and you have fell
sleep in it. You show up at the school and
you don't realize you're wearing it. You're like, oh, you
like this.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
This is the Crystal Coast Booty Divers. I do like that.
That's so cool, right, I'd get a T shirt. I
would get that. I have two.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I think it's it's all fair game with minor league stuff.
I really do, because I'm a Yankees fan and I
don't wear other teams. There's other hosts here that should
rename remain nameless, even though we already mentioned him who
wears all different hats. I'm like, dude, choose one, pick one,
because you're a sports guy when it comes to minor

(07:16):
league stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I think you rock whatever one you want.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I have two embarrassing stories about wearing things and not
realizing it. So I told the story back in the day.
It's embarrassing. I can't believe I'm even saying alluding to
this on Fox Sports Radio. But when I was a
pre teen teenager, I've told the story like a lot
of young dumb boys. Let's just say you've you've done
things to the cushions of your couch. Let's just say

(07:39):
when people say you love it at Levitt's, Rich really.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Loved it at Levitt'zez, I say, I was an amped
up thirteen year old.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
When Rich went to Ashley Furniture. He was pretending it
was Ashley for real. Let's just say when my parts
are at our childhood couch, I cried.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Now.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So I jokingly told the guys this story, thinking what
was I thinking?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Who knows? So one of our listeners made me a
shirt that says rich took the love seat.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Literally it said hetero sectional and it was a couch
with an opening, and I wore it to the gym
and someone was like, what's with the shirt.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I'm like, oh, I didn't realize what shirt I was wearing.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Point is, you can't wear a booty diver's shirt to
school assembly or to pick them up. Do you mean
like my wife around the holidays or even to the gym,
because you might see like one of the parents that
you know there and you feel embarrassed. My wife, my
wife is not like some dirty minded person. I bought
her a novelty shirt because I saw it on sale,
like H and M or something. It was a red

(08:41):
sweater around the holidays and it sparkles. It said tinsel.
I'll just say it starts with a T tinsel to time,
tinsel time. And she's like, oh my god, you're so dumb.
She was scrambled to get the kids ready for school
one morning, threw it on and we're doing kid drop off,
and I'm like, babe, do you know what you're wearing.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
She's like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
That's my only warning with the new hair has our
fair game if you want to mix it up a
little bit, because you got to find some new hats
every once in a while to match your kicks.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
I mean, this is kind of cheating because of my hometown,
but I had I had plenty of mud Hen's stuff
growing up. But there was one night, and I think
it was when the Tigers sent down Jose Valverde or
actually I think Justin Verlander might have been down there,
because they did a lot of promotional nights and I
think they had like, Okay, one time, it was a
hot dog night, and I really wanted a hot.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Dog jersey the hot dogs. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
The other I think when Verlander was like rehabbing in Toledo,
they had a Jurassic Park night involving one of those
like inflatable t rexes waddling up to the mound to
hand him the ball.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
That's funny, See, I like that. I was gonna buy.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
We went recently through the Mets a's game in Sacramento
and they play at the Sacramento River Cats Stadium, and
they had the river Cats gear there, and I was
thinking about it. Hey could buy one get away with
it doesn't matter, no doubt. So anyway, Rich, great question.
Any other final thoughts before we move on?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I was the you know, done minor league teams and
ice cream. I'm done well.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Speaking of ton, you know what I did last night.
I don't know if you noticed, but check out my
gleaming chicklets. Check out these pearly whites that I got
going on. They're extra sensitive today. You know what I
was doing. You look like Matt Dillon and something about
Mary Well. See, I use my whitening strips on my
actual teeth. Rich uses them in places that we can't
even see.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
You're not supposed to put them on your you know, yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Rich uses them in all these weird places. I was
putting them on my teeth right every single got my
teeth cleaned. So I was like, you know what, I'm
goan to use those whitening strips, but you're supposed to
keep them on for like forty five minutes. You forgot that, dude.
I passed out last night. I woke up at like
five in the morning. And I still had them on.
And now my teeth are like so sensitive. When I

(10:54):
breathe in, I could feel it hurts your.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Gum, dude, my gums and my tonight.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
I I drink anything, my teeth like, oh tonight when
I'm reading my son a bedtime story, can you just
stand above us? Yeah, and I mean my teeth are
you know, fluorescent white right now? But guys, just the warning.
And of course I had a forty five minute timer set.
Must have slept right through it or shut it off.
I woke up. I must have had it on for
like six plus hours, dude, and my teeth are listening

(11:21):
though hurting. I mean, yeah, these chompers are listening. But
thank you for listening. So that's just my stupid story.
Don't let it happen to you. And let's get into it, man, buddy,
we're gonna play Belichick or Cavino coming up. Let's dive
into it like the booty divers, the booty divers of
the Coastal League. Here's my question. I want to start
with something that this part of the story is not

(11:45):
new news. Lawrence Taylor, as we know legends, I mean
in our childhood, he's the real LT. I mean not
only was he epic in real life, I mean the
guy can block extra points in tech Mobile. By the way,
dB Danny g Prefet. That was one of the coming
of age stories in our life when we started to

(12:06):
notice that younger generations thought LT meant Ladinian Tomlinson were like,
hold on, it does not, but to.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Them it did.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I remember Ladanian Tomlinson went to the Jets. We were
working at SNY in New York. We were asking people
on the streets, Yeah, who was LT. And we did
like a man on the street thing based on age.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was generational.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
People were saying Ladanian and other people were saying, of
course Lawrence Taylor, and I believe he was on the
cover of Madden and everything at one point, right, So yeah,
the younger kids jumped on that so hard. LT to
them is la Danian Tomlinson. Well, we're talking about Lawrence Taylor.
We're talking about Danglee Earring, Lawrence Taylor, who did more
cocaine in the eighties. Him or Keith Hernandez. It's a

(12:46):
great New York question. Definitely Hernandez. Allegedly we're talking number
fifty six LT. Now we know the story of Abdull
Carter very excited Giants fan, bas this guy's going to
make a difference in New York, New Jersey. When asked,
is it cool if Abdull Carter wears your number fifty six?

(13:08):
Lawrence Taylor was pretty much like, yeah, kick Rock's kid,
get your own legacy, get your own number. And I
actually liked his comment. Wasn't it something about create your
own path?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
He didn't.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
He wasn't rude about it, but it was pretty much
like fifty six, And in fact, it's insulting to his honor.
I think Abdul Carter, hey, I wish him all the best,
but I think that's a disrespectful request. Why do you
think they retire numbers in the first place, Not so
some young JEBBRONI can come out.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
And take it.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
You know, do you know we know what this happens
at school with your kids or you know, maybe with neighbors.
You know, when someone ask you something so ballsy that
you're almost taking aback, like you go, so, yeah, I'm
glad Lawrence Taylor didn't react like, hell could I guess
you know this? You know the honor that I earned, Yeah,

(13:56):
you're trying to take it away.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
How about you beat it?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
He could have, been, in my opinion, should have been
a little more rude about it. He said, hey, listen, youngster,
create your own path, gets your own number. I don't
like it, you know, from the get go, and I
wish nothing but the best to Abdul Carter. I think
he overstepped here. I think someone should have told him, like, no,
that's Lawrence Taylor. He's a legend. What do you have
in your mind? But then again, I heard Jonas, our coworker,

(14:18):
on two pros and a cup of Joe, said, is there.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Any harmon asking? Yes? Okay, there, you know.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
It actually is a good point, but you'd be surprised
as to what you'd get when you ask that. There's
true to that, for sure, but you're asking almost them
almost to take back an honor. It's like, I just
don't I don't think that's fair at all to Lawrence Taylor,
or to the organization or anybody.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
And Taylor added, he said, I'm hoping that he's not thinking,
oh I just got shot down by LT.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
No, it's not like that, man. It's hey, I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
I mean, I'm the guy that that I am, and
it's going to take two of the two of us here.
I'm going to be two steps behind you and make
sure you don't fall. Yeah, so saying he's got to
be a supportive, but just make your own mark with
your own number.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Dude, Even in high school, I didn't. I took my
jersey when I left the team. It wasn't retired, obviously.
I'm like, I don't want no one taking my jersey,
my jersey beat it's okay, kidding, Yeah, No, I'm serious.
Stole my jersey. And you know because in high school,
remember back in the day, they just recycled him for
the next like five.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
If you took your jersey, there'd be no other number sixteen. Yeah, exactly,
Hey where's the men's large sixteen?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
And I was like, who's gonna stop me? I don't
want someone else wearing this. I was the og original
Ocho Sinko. People don't realize that in the Union Little League,
in a new jersey, no one could wear Cavino's twenty three.
Uh I'm sorrying how many twenty seven Lit League home
run jersey? That's right, No one can have that one
my all star jersey. My point is you're very territorial

(15:50):
about your number, especially when you're a legendary guy whose
number was retired. They held a ceremony for you. You're a
legend in that city. For some I don't want to
see he'son nobody, but he hasn't done anything yet New
York to ask for that member, it's a bolder reyqu
I mean, listen. One comes to mind for me, and
I'm sure you know Dan Byer is a man of
sports knowledge and history. Can you think of a guy

(16:10):
that changed teams and had to pivot other than Joe Montana?
Because when Montana went to the Chiefs, I believe Len
Dawson was number sixteen and then Montana rock number nineteen.
He didn't say, hey, can you retire sixteen?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
And that's Joe Montana.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Have there been other guys that you could think of
that had to like pivot, like guys went to the Yankees.
A Rod number three was like, I can't be babe, Ruth,
I'll be thirteen.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'll answer your question by not answering your question. Remember
the old Pro.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Bowl when we would you would have guys of the
same jersey number that would go to the Pro Bowl. Yeah,
in the you'd have to change numbers at that time.
If there were two twenty nine's on the field, you know, sorry,
Eric Dickerson, you may not have tenure over that person
and you may have to so in those games they
would make them change. I do remember Peyton Manning did

(16:58):
not have to pivot. The Bronco retired Frank Trapuka's number eighteen.
So when Manning went from Indianapolis to Denver, they asked
and he allowed him to wear eighteen. In fact, used
it as as a way to hey, if you come here,
you can have eighteen.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
If you signed with the Broncos, there you go.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
So so there have been a couple times it goes
both ways. But here's the update on this story, because
that part of the story is not necessarily new. Abdul Carter,
if you put your thinking cap on, just google image
him at Penn State, he wore number eleven.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I grew up in the eighties in New York.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
There are a heck a lot of eleven jerseys because
it was that blonde haired stud who gave can Be
No a stink palm handshake one time. Oh bro, you're
gonna bring that up. Let's preface by saying Phil Simms
is a new York legend and a hell of a broadcaster,
and what a fella nice guy. Actually, it was nothing
but kind and generous to us the times we've met.

(17:53):
And I'm not saying anything. You brought it up.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I just said, I want to preface your story.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Phil Simms, number eleven has said it would be an
honor Abdull Carter for you to wear my number eleven
for the New York Giants.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I got you. So it's the other side of things. Now,
Phil Sims saying I would love this.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I don't have a problem with that. Now, eleven is
a story number at Penn State. Yeah, it's LaVar Arrington.
You just mentioned two pros. The long list of guys
who have worn eleven, just like eighty eight is with
the Dallas Cowboys. When you wear eighty eight, like Drew Pearson,
like Michael Irvin, like Des Bryant, like Ceedee Lamb, there's
something do it. Some guys don't rock like that. For

(18:35):
Phil Simms to be like, Okay, that's cool. I think
that's cool of Phil Simms. But it's not like eleven
is Abdull Carter's number. That's Penn State All American linebacker.
It's like Syracuse number forty four four. The QUS is
a big deal. Yes, absolutely so, I see it. I
don't think that's a little weird.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Even though Phil Simms is definitely a legendary guy in
New York for the Giants, he's not Lawrence Taylor. But
that's not even my point. My point is if he
feels one way, and he feels okay giving up that
number eleven, like Dan Byer said, Hey man, that's really cool.
It's really nice of him. But that doesn't mean that
Lawrence Taylor's in the wrong for not wanting to. No,

(19:13):
of course, it's like a total preference thing. Lawrence Taylor's like, Noah, man,
that's my number. No way, make your own path. If
Phil Simms wants to do that, that's on him, and
I'm all for it. I'm surprised, though, I'm surprised to
hear it. Well, you know, I don't think there should
be any pressure for these retired guys to give up
their number.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
We're gonna go over all your feedback.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
If you want to chime in, Hey, Most Interactive show
on Fox Sports Radio eight seven, seven, nine to nine
on Fox at Covin on Rich.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
But right now, your phone calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Let's go to you guys, everything from minor league jerseys
to my deep thought about Coldstone versus Baskin Deep are
you joking me? Abdul Carter asking for jersey numbers. Let's
go to Drew in Vegas. What's up, buddy boy?

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Hey, I just want to give your heads up. You
had mentioned the more it's Marlins.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Yeah, yeah, that's not Florida.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
That's actually North Carolina. I was born in Morit City.
I just want to give a shout out home, yoh.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Shout out to you.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I thought it was for some reason, I thought it
was Florida. But you know what, You're staying corrected, So
I stay corrected. But I'm still going to get the
booty Divers jersey.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, hey, thanks, we appreciate it. Hey Drew, She was like,
the booty Divers are from.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
North Carolina, right, Dustin and Virginia. It's up Dustin, basking
Robin versus Colstone.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
It's it's like to the point of, you know, a
different occasion l roday overs the taco bell. I'm with it,
depending on the situation, if you need to be in
and out or not. And and the retiring jerseys. I mean,
if you had a zero and a double zero, you
only got one hundred and one. Eventually, with position based numbers,
we're gonna run out right.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Look at the Yankees. I know, I had give Camino
crap all the time because I'm a Mets guy. He's
a Yankees guy. But you know, Yankee, I see Yankees
running like number eighty two, like they're wide receivers.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Like eventually you might need to say and reset, you know,
like as Waldo Cabrera wearing number ninety five just ninety
nineteen alignment or a or an infielder. Those numbers and positions, Yeah,
we have to think of them differently. Now, Yeah, ninety
nine is a baseball number.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
Why is zero a number for a Jersey's good? I'm
still trying to figure that out. Why zero.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I had a buddy in high school who thought it
was cool.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
He wanted to be nine, so he would he would
specially order the nine.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
People like people have the preferences.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's pretty amazing. In basketball, our jerseys were it was
either ten through fifteen, twenty through fifteen, or twenty five,
thirty through thirty five. Then ever went past six. We
didn't have single digit jerseys. It was just and to
Coveno's point in wanting his number, the smaller you were,
the smaller number that you got.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
That's what it used to be.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
If you were fifty four, you were probably six four
and you know, two hundred and fifty pounds.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
You were the husky kid in the little league. You
were number fourteen. If your teens were husky from J. C.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Penny.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yes, yeah, because the littler kid wore number one, and
exactly that's usually how it went, right. It's funny you
would say that because I as you know, as if
I don't mention it once a show. You know, the
number one coach here on Fox Sports Radio, Rich Davis,
So I've heard, Yeah, I coach five and under t ball,
little kids, pony ball, all their jerseys, like Dan Bayer said,

(22:20):
I got.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
The little jerseys.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
And if there's a big kid on my team, I
had a call the next league up.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
That's also the Rockies.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
It'd be like, hey, you got a bigger Rockies jersey
because one of my one of my kids is husky.
And then you'll get a call from someone from a
higher league, like we got a.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Little guy, do you have a kid drown uniform? You're right,
so that is how it is.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
And by the way, if you just joined us and
you don't know the story. Abdul Carter now with giant
war number eleven in college. But he asked Lawrence Taylor, hey,
can I wear you're retired number fifty six? You know
that honor bestowed upon you? Can I reverse the honor?
And where your number? Because a lot of years have passed,
I get it to him. He's like, yeah, Lawrence Taylor,

(23:01):
I guess it's okay to ask. Like, yeah, I agree
with Jonas like there's no harm in asking, but.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
That's a bold ask.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
And Lawrence Taylor said, beat it in a nice way, kindly,
and then Phil Simms said, hey, you were number eleven
in college. You can wear my number eleven, which, by
the way, is an odd gesture to me, to be honest,
there's like, way too kind.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
It's like take my wife sleep with it. Yeah, he
was like, way too willing.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
You guys are are way more lenient than I am,
because I'm gonna sound like get off my lawn, guy,
But I do think it's too much to ask. You
don't understand the history. You don't understand who Lawrence Taylor's
and that's fine. It wasn't this generation. He wasn't born.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
It does sound tone deaf to us.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
I agree, yes, But there's also the fact of I
think it's disrespectful to Michael Strahan, Justin tuck Ocu Manora,
other great Giants players who didn't ask for Lawrence Taylor's
fifty six or kept their own numbers. So for Abdul
Carter to think like I'm next, and it's like, hold up,
super Bowl forty two and Super Bowl forty six were

(24:00):
one because of their defensive lines and for what they did.
And so I think I think that there's nothing he
intended to hurt anyone's feelings by it. I just think
that you're not understanding history in doing so.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Maybe this leads to Rich's other thought, Abduel Carter wish
him nothing but the best, right.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think he overstepped a little bit.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
But maybe these younger kids, these weenials, are just wired
with this sense of entitlement. It's not like, yeah, I
hate that word too, justarely used that word. But maybe
it's just something in them and in their generation where
they don't really care the word entitlement does rub me
the wrong way because I don't think that's necessarily it.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
We'll get to that next.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
I want to say, why is it that all these
younger generations expect to be, you know, head of the
company before they did anything. Think about it, because we're
going to dive into it next. Let's say had a
Raffi real quick that we will go to Dan Baier
for enough day Raffi and Idaho wrap this up?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Man? What's up?

Speaker 7 (24:54):
Fellas? Hey, you're talking about the misunderstanding generationally about the
LT initials.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
My uncle was always quick to remind me an ice
Cube song when he says freaking brothers everywhere like mj
that I wasn't corrected. It was Michael Jordan, but Magic Johnson.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
And you know what, Dan byer Brow went up during
the commercial. I agree. When I hear people talking about
AI like artificial intelligence, I still think Allen Iverson. When
I hear someone say you, well AI, yeah I went
with you, I'm like Allen Iverson. Oh no, no, AI,
okay AI is taking over AI take it.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Over your shore.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
It's a d or ap just because some people insist, no, no,
it's his initials. Adrian Peterson. Do you use Anthony Davis? No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
People don't realize Dan Byer not He's a robot and
he's giving your update right now, Ai Dan Byer.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Greg Popovich will no longer be head coach, off to
San Antonio Spurs.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
That's all robots, remember we thought back of that. No,
that's how robots sound, dude. That's that's it. Greg Popovitch
stepping down his head coach of the Spurs. He's going
to move into a full time role of seam president
within the organization. Interimd coach Mitch Johnson will become the
team's full time head coach for Popovitch. He's seventy six
years old, spend twenty nine years as head coach, has

(26:07):
the most career wins of any coach in NBA history,
five NBA.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Titles as well.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Greg Popovich calling it quits coaching, but now team president
of the San Antonio Spurs.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's a cool pivot for him and the team treated
him the right way, and coach pop around the league
is such a respected guy.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
So I like this move a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Hyping you up for the fights this weekend, and I'll
talk about it again in weekend hobnobbing. Right now, we
got to talk about well, like we always talk about
jan Z, what a bunch of wienies. Well, see, it's
very easy. It's very easy for every generation too. No,
it's very easy for every generation to make fun of
the younger generation, the greatest generation. Our grandparents made fun

(26:51):
of our boomer parents who were hippies, and then they
make fun of us, and then we make fun of
the younger generation.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's cyclical. Your music stinks, ours is better. You don't know,
you don't get it, mom and dad. Like this has
gone on for the history of life.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
But there is something to be said about this younger
generation where I argue sometimes maybe they got it right.
There is a big emphasis on work life balance. There
was a big emphasis on mental health, and you know,
work isn't life. You know, you got to live it up.
Or you could say that's just being lazy and doing
the bare minimum. No guy is in to get ahead

(27:26):
putting his backpack on because the five o'clock whistle rank.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's like, yeah, but you're not really done with your work. Well,
this is shit.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Or Sanders's story that was my first taste of it,
Like just because let's say it was five I see
all the youngsters like all right, later like, hey, but
we're in the middle of something.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
You're not done. I get it. We had an intern
once I know what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
That our producer video guy Spot was teaching this kid
how to load stuff in the system and soundclips and
doing everything. And he grabbed his backpack and he just
started leaving. And we were like, did you fit now?
But it's five o'clock later bye, and you're like, wow, man, oh,
I have putting a little extra in.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
But then I'm.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Thinking, like, well, just because I was raised to overwork
and put that extra effort, and you're still always going
to lose to the guy that is willing to put
the extra in. But is that extra you're just giving
more time to the man when like, are you seeing
the benefit or you're more committed, or you're hungrier and
you know you have greater work ethic. I'll always hire
the guy with greater work ethic faster than the guy

(28:30):
who's quick to leave beat it. Then here's my question
to you. Do we just continue to mock younger generations
or do we adjust? Because I saw an article this
is interesting, let me ask you a lot of companies,
and this is the question, Yeah, why does the older
generation have to adjust to the younger general because they
have the workforce you're hiring.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's why. Yeah, you're hiring, but which means you're the superior.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Let me reference two articles and then Denny has you
know details on this Shadora Sanders perfect example.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Two articles I read recently.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
One of them was all about how if you want
to hire someone of this younger generation. They're all about transparency.
Don't don't tell me about a job without listing the salary,
how much you pay me, because I'm not hanging out
at your company for fun. I want to get paid.
So before I interview, before I do anything, how much

(29:20):
you're paying. And some people are saying, well, that's entitled
rubs me the wrong way. Gen Z would say, no,
I just want transparency. I'm not going to come there,
interview and do all this and then you decide what
you're gonna pay me.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
What does this job pay? And I sort of understand it.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I mean it's a little bold for someone with not
that many options. It just sounds like a little bold.
Another man at that listen to this article how to slay.
This is written from gen Z's perspective, because you could
tell by the headline how to slay summer employment. If
you want to attract our generation gen Z, keep these
things in mind. Number one, when we excel, let us

(30:01):
know if we do a good job, gen Z wants
a pat on the back. Part of positive reinforcement, they
want a ton It's good. Hey, I can relate to that.
Who doesn't like to be told they're doing a good job?
But is it needed and necessary all the time? Now
there's a few others. I'm gonna get to all them,
so how to handle gen Z? And that's a bit

(30:22):
much so rich. I mean, we all like that, but
it's like necessary. Do you want to employ productive young
people or not? So we're gonna get to all this
plus some NBA, NFL, a lot of fun Friday. Let's
go to this thought of and again it's so easy.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
It's like it's almost.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Lazy to be like man the kids nowadays, because that's
the generational thought for hundreds of years. Your grandparents though
your parents are lazy hippies in the sixties, they thought
we were entitled kids in the eighties and nineties, and
now you're like kids nowadays are only on their iPads. Meanwhile,
your parents are yelling at you for being un Nintendo.
If it was raining out, how many times do your

(30:59):
parents say in or out?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
In or out? Now we're like the kids don't play
outside anymore, imber Rich.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
When we uh entered the workforce and we were the
young guy, younger guys, we're still the young guys.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Please Noah.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
All these old school guys here in sports, but they
would call us, Oh, those metro sexuals. What do they
know for that? I'm like, why am I metro sexual?
Because I comb my hair? Now now you're a caveman.
Now I'm a cave compared to a twenty year old.
And I went from metrosexual guy to cave man. Well,
I bring this up because there's a shador Sanders stories.

(31:36):
We're gonna get a story we're gonna get to. We
talked about Abdul Carter asking for LT's number, and it
alsot of ties together because there's a different mindset a
young among younger people, and the question is do you
adjust to them or do you just continue to mock
it and be.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Like no, no, r a way.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
And I just feel like there's got to be some
type of compromise. And I found the great article and
it's all based on how do we try to accommodate
and blend in with the younger generation gen Z? An
article written by a twenty something said how to quote
Slay Summer and hire the right gen Z kids? Because,

(32:13):
like I said, there was one article about kids don't
want to hear about money. Afterwards, kids now were like, yo,
how much you paying men? Don't beat around the bush,
don't don't say well, you're gonna do this, and then
how much are you paying me? Which you know what,
as a guy who's done pretty decent in his career,
there's a lot of jobs that I've taken because it's
a great opportunity. And then you worry about the money.

(32:35):
But then I think that way mindset so up. Yeah,
well let me tell you, as an older person who's
not that old, just the generation above you, I got
an opportunity coming up. You know what's least you know
what's more important to me, the opportunity. They don't think
that way though, Okay, well then you know what, maybe
they should.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
How much you're gonna pay me?

Speaker 7 (32:54):
Now?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Look at how many kids a run OnlyFans. We did
the math the other day.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I want the opportunity so then you could pay me
more later on. And again. I don't want to scare
everyone with a daughter out there, but eighteen to twenty
five year old women, when you do the math, this
is a true fact. Eighteen to twenty five year old women,
one out of ten has an only fans page. They
want money now. They want money. They don't care about like, oh,

(33:19):
this is good for your future. They it's a different generation.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
For what though we're paying their cell phone bill, their
insurance packages.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
You got teenagers. I know you're thinking, like, what are
they doing?

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Let me give you a couple of highlights from this
article and then this Shador Sanders perfect example number one.
If you're trying to hire gen z, these are funny
things to me when you're emailing them, don't give a
thumbs up emoji. They think it's passive aggressive and it
hurts their feelings. Emojis are cringey.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Don't do that.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
You'll upset them, and exclamation points could trigger them. Emoji's
being a cringey is the only one. I'm okay, fine,
that's a little immature, right. If you're an older person
otherwise so far I hate all these You know.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Why are you going to read into an emoji? Dude?

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I was told once if you text or email back
a younger coworker like thumbs up, they don't take it,
it's like, all right, good.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
They take it as how passive aggressive?

Speaker 4 (34:15):
No, that's that's ridiculous, because not everything is a heart,
every message.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
As a fonsie, yeah, thumbs up. They take it as like,
oh my god, why is it passive aggressive?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Number two, don't think I'm going to work for your
company if it if it's at least not partly remote,
I'm not coming to some place five days a week.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's it. That's a gen Z saying.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
COVID really made everybody lazy, though not just gen Z.
But they're saying remote. They don't want to be fully
remote because they want to have I guess, some interaction
to maybe move up the ladder. But GENA blame them
for feeling that way. But to call it out as
a demand, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
You can't.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Nobody from Nowhereville beat it. Like for you to even
suggest that this sounds okay, some twenty seven year old
twenty two wrote it twenty two. Yeah, But you said,
how old is the person that wrote it's a twenty something?
You like early? What else what I'm talking about? So
for you to give this any validity as a joke
to me, like, what do they know about anything?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Here's what I think is interesting about this is if
it's getting to this point of the interview, these are
your most qualified candidates, So it's not like you're just
walking in blind with one hundred other candidates. And I
think why they feel that they have some power is
if they got this far in the interview, they must
be better than everybody else.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Precisely, Dan Buyer's right on they say.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
The article says, as we focus on seasonal hiring for
the summer, your best employees. If you're trying to hire
twenty something year olds for your business, or interns or
part time workers, they are going to demand these things,
so be prepared. They don't want to work someplace every day.
Part of it has to be remote. Number three work
life boundary. When I'm not at the office or not

(36:02):
on the clock, I am not going to respond to
your emails or messages because I'm not working.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Do you imagine if I get night you and I
didn't text each other about the show because we were quote.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Off the clock, No, our show wouldn't work.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
That's we rely on a lot of industries rely on. Like, yo,
you get that email?

Speaker 2 (36:19):
It was sent at seven forty eight pm. I was off.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Who did I hire that? As my dad would say,
the Queen Aesibah, I don't get it, dude, like I
get it like that.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
There's last minute changes too, Like our boss and the
sales department, sometimes there'll be some last minute changes or additions,
and we have to be open to communicating no matter
what time.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, it's a job, man, It's it's not super fun time.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Work life balance is big to them, meaning if they
have an important event, there is no negotiation, like if
I if they have a friend's wedding or bachelor party
or something like, yeah, it can't work. No, Like it's
not up for debate, like hey boss, I'm not working
that day. Mixed in with if I'm not feeling it.
The company has to be okay with mental health days.

(37:08):
Different generation, man, you gotta like sound more like demands
than requests. Mental health dy doesn't bother me that much.
I mean again, it sounds soft, but I think everybody
needs a day for whatever reason, right, personal day, whatever, Yes,
and I'll give you one more. Hey, nothing wrong with
a break or a refresher. So it's just how it

(37:29):
sounds to me. But so far, only two of these
are tolerant, by the way, and it's not to sound
like we're grumpy middle aged men. It just it's a
very different generation and it will tie directly to this
story Danny G has on standby about shad Or Sanders
one less one And this is interesting because every industry
is different companies. This is from a gen z or.
Companies need to be clear right away about their social

(37:52):
media policies. Because I'm going to check my phone throughout
the day. What's your policy on it? I think it's
a fair question.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
It's a fair question.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, Like what if a company says like, yeah, I
don't want you checking social media throughout the day?

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Is that a deal breaker? I mean, how bad do
you want to work here? How bad do you want
this job? You know? Go start only fans and if
you're so interested in doing another thing I want to
attend to all Right.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Well, with that all said Danny G, this Shaudor Sanders
story maybe sheds a little light on why he was
passed up in the draft, not because of race, not
because of talent, not because of it, because of perhaps
an attitude that teams were not really vibing with.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Yeah, this was reported by sports Kia Sports Keydavia Fox
Sports yesterday. A team with a top seven pick in
the twenty twenty five NFL Draft requested that shad Or
Sanders study its playbook for their interview session. Shador arrived
unprepared and used his time to instead question the team's leadership,
asking their strategy to support.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Him, and it ties perfectly into the article.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
There's been a lot of smoke around this story. So
where there's smoke, there's fire for sure, right Like, we
heard that from several sources. So imagine that some dude
comes in and he starts calling shots on you. And
that's why Rich is saying, well, who's supposed to accommodate
who in this situation. I'm just saying, we shouldn't be shocked,

(39:21):
And I'm not coming down on should or Sanders.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
What I'm saying is we.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Shouldn't be shocked based on the article I just talked about,
based on the mindset of a twenty something year old.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Now I'm not saying that's right or wrong.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
I'm just saying Shadoor Sanders is in line with the
mindset of most young people the end, instead of saying
I prepared the bi pre instead of saying I prepared
the playbook, he came in there thinking, all right, well,
what are you gonna do for me as your next star?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Kid, but we have an organization here, Yeah yeah, yeah,
but how are you gonna support me? And that's the
mindset of so many younger people. That's a horrible mindset
for a team sport. It's not about me, it's not
it's about the team. And he's already separating himself when
the season hasn't even started, when you're not even on

(40:11):
the team yet. Yeah, So that's a really bad look, dude,
Like there are there is an etiquette and I don't
care what the new generation thinks, it doesn't make it right.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yeah, there's a whole lot to be said.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
And you know, to end this conversation on a note,
when you and I started here, did we start calling
shots or did we prove ourselves a little first and
then maybe try to make a few changes here and
there where we thought they could benefit us and the team.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Yeah, great, because there's an etiquette involved.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Yeah, it was like three weekends you worked before you
started threatening the bosses.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, can you not anyone two weekends before we requested
an aquarium in the state.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Can you know wants a fish tank? Cell? Bad?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
But but I will say there is something to be
said to not be one sided. How many generations work work, work, work, work,
and really their work life balance.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Thinks like, how many how many.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
People in our grandparents and parents generation realized I spent
fifty years working for.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
This company, And there's validity to that point there.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
And I think that we, you know, as the generation
above them, we're learning from them too, but they also
need to learn from us.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
So where the parents in this.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
I have a twenty two year old stepson and he's
been interviewing for summer jobs right now, and Brenda and
I have been giving him pointers and talking him through
it and talking about it, and he's not making any
of these demands in his interviews, and.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
He'll stand out for not doing it, I think. So
I don't know, man, this whole thing upsets me.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
People with a good, strong work ethic, How could this
not annoy you?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
And it supplies in everyone's life and in sports, And
the question comes down to this in the article, if
you're a veteran athlete, are you supposed to bend backwards
to make sure this guys okay? Or should this guy
accommodate to an established team? And I think it works
that way. Yeah, it is a bit of a compromise. Yeah, right,

(42:08):
we all want to be respectful. But for everybody to
have to bend over backwards to accommodate a generation with
all these demands, that's odd. I think there's a phenomenal
balance that I'd like to think. If you're roughly forty,
I like to call our generation the in between ers.
We really are because we lived a life before social media,
but we know social media we lived.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
We were fluent in an old guy and younger guys.
And I think if you're.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Roughly four, I would say, like if you were born
in the late seventies to late eighties, if you are
fortysh or so, again, you're the type of person that
grew up without social media, without these things, but you
also understand it, and I think you don't want to
make the mistakes of past generations where it's like I'm
gonna work till eighteen hours a day and never see

(42:54):
my kids like your parents or grandparents may have done.
But you also don't expect to start out to come
but he has a VP like a twenty somethings saying, though,
when you talk about work life balance, and Danny g mentioned, yeah,
we're all realizing that there has to be a better way.
But guess what, you still have bills to pay, So
unless you want to drown in debt, go right ahead,

(43:17):
So you still have to work and make ends. Me. Hey,
your thoughts on this hard hitting conven on rich conversation
here See how Shadoor sanders not necessarily him, but that
generation will rub other people the wrong way all the time.
Well and again remember that old saying, Hey, welcome to
the real world. We all had to make adjustments. I
was a spoiled kid. You know what, I realized I

(43:39):
had to work a little harder when I got into
the real world. You got to make adjustments. There was
just because things went a certain way for you growing
up and everybody coddled you home doesn't mean the real
world works that way. So your boss has to accommodate
you and not use exclamation points because you're upset by them.
Get out of here with that two points, and then
we'll move on. We'll play a little Bell or Cavino.

(44:01):
We'll talk a little NBA this weekend. But two points.
I saw a video why don't you go for three?
Like Jalen Brunson, you know that left handed, nice little
three pointer. I saw a video within the last year,
and I felt bad for this girl. But at the
same time I left, you said the same one I'm

(44:21):
thinking about. It was a girl on the East Coast,
lived in New York and she had started her first
job in New York City, and she went on a
rant where she was almost in tears, saying.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Hell, eight hours there it was two much.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
I have to take the train to Manhattan and then
I work eight plus hours. Then I take the train back.
When am I supposed to go to the gym? When
am I supposed to go out for drinks with my friends?

Speaker 2 (44:44):
When am I?

Speaker 1 (44:45):
And it's like, yeah, wow, that's well. We can't put
it all on the generation too. We can put it
on on on the parents that might be asked for
not preparing them properly for these type of things. So
but the reality is what it is. But don't be
to adjust. You have to, I don't know, get a
little tougher, but also don't be shocked too if because

(45:05):
of NIL and the way things are now a little differently,
don't be shocked if players want to really call their
shots more and more. I think we're going to get
to a point where college players are going to be like,
now here's a list of teams and cities I want
to play for, and that's how I'll enter the draft process. Like,
let me ask you this, so rich back to the
other not just your top picks, Like if should Doris

(45:26):
Sanders really wanted to play for that top seven team
in the NFL draft, shouldn't he have learned the playbook
a little bit? So what it doesn't that show the
employer or the team that he's really not that interested.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
I guess this is I'm struggling this because it feels
like the idea of I'm not going to play for
a certain team is pretty old.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
For the NFL.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
We had it with with River. Yeah, like this this
is not a new tail.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
It's not a new thing. But you can name like
we can name them.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
On one hand, I just don't think we're going to
get an entire generation. Shad Sanders just feels like that
in not comparing him to the skill of Lway or
Eli or any of that, but like, yeah, there's always
a couple guys who think they can dictate terms and
some have it drop into the fifth is pretty much
assigned to everyone that like, you can't dictate.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Terms, perhaps profed. There's where we end.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
We say Chador is exhibit a of what happens now
if you try to dictate too much without your shot,
but it Mike go bad without without the A plus talent,
you can't do this.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
It's time to play. I think America's new favorite game.
Is it Steve Cavino or Bill Belichick? Steve Covino and
Bill Belichick has some things in common. Bill Belichick's the man.
They both have younger girlfriends named Jordan. He the man
if that was my daughter. They both have a powerful
presence in the sports world. Were harder. So you can

(46:48):
do that. When you're seventy two, you tell us, is
it Steve Cavino or Build Belichick. I'm not mad at
him at all. I want to know what it is.
I think this is a.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Brainch nyg of me being high on the beach on
vacation in Mexico.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Well, in fact, half an edible. Yeah, when this became.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
A thing, everybody was on vacation, including myself, including Bill Belichick,
who was hoisting his girlfriend up in the air playing airplane.
That's what maybe think of the game, because I got
a text message from Cavino and he was like riding
ATVs with.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
His girlfriend Jordan.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
And then I looked on social media and I saw
Belichick on the beach picking up his girlfriend Jordan, and
I said this my friends, Danny G do your magic,
and Danny G made it a game.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
Yeah, what started from Rich's late night edible mind has
turned into an on air game I put together a
few times. Now, let's meet our contestant on the studio lines.
I'll use Dan Buyer for this, dB. Would you love
to travel to beautiful Lexington, Kentucky, Madbury, New Hampshire, Phoenix,
Arizona or surprise Arizona?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Undressed?

Speaker 3 (47:50):
I'm sorry, the Ponies are on in this week and
we just said to Kentucky Oaks, we're going to Lexington.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah, that's right, little ways away from Louisville. Is that
why you're wearing that hat today.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
Sorry, Reese, it is your city's time to shine this weekend.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
What's up?

Speaker 9 (48:07):
What's upad?

Speaker 5 (48:08):
Heck?

Speaker 9 (48:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (48:09):
What do you do for a living there in Kentucky?
I am a.

Speaker 7 (48:12):
General sales manager at a new car dealership.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Just wow, nude, I'm gonna go there right now.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
All right, Reese, Here's how Covino or Belichick works. I've
done extensive research on both coach and Coveno and their
two young girlfriends. Each member of the crew are going
to read a fun fact and you gotta tell us.
Is it Steve Covino or Bill Belichick? You have five
chances to get too correct?

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Orris Swiggy? Yes, sir, let's go all right, here we go.
Rich Davis is going to read the first fun.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Hh here you go. Is it Coveno or Belichick? Reese?
This guy's Jordan recently.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Went along as his date to an NHL playoff hockey game.
This Jordan went with her man to an NHL playoff
hockey game?

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Is it Covino or Belichick?

Speaker 9 (49:05):
I'm going to say Covino.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
No, oh for one, Sorry, It's all right. What was
the event again?

Speaker 1 (49:14):
NHL hockey game? You think i'd go to a hockey game.
You're ready your mind.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
I'm the laziest guy you ever meet. You still have
four chances here, Buyer is going to read the second
fun fact.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
All right, His Jordan is currently getting certified to add
Pilate's instructor to her resume.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Is that Covino or Belichick? I'm going to say that
Covino and you are.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
That's a true question, because you could see Belichick's girlfriend
doing that sort of stuff. In fact, you know, I
feel like they were doing some plot's moves in the sand. However,
I did see your Jordan on Instagram on a Plate's
machine like yesterday. So I have one of those reformers,
one of those ploty machines at my house. Let me
just swing back and forth on while you watch the fights. Yeah,
it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
All right, Reese, you're halfway to one of these beautiful
C and R swiggies. And I have the third fun
fact here. He wore number sixty two and played center
in junior high school. He wore number sixty two and
played center in junior high Covino or Belichick.

Speaker 9 (50:14):
I'm gonna say that, William Belichick.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
No, I got the video proof. Yeah, what high school
has a five to nine center A kid who was
this size in junior. Yeah, I didn't grow after that.
Seven Yeah, sixty two center, bro. And by the way,
some kid hit me up like a year ago asked
if he could have sixty two.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
I told him, hell no, that's what. So what's funny?
I saw the video Kavino has been doing that.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
You know when you take your old VHS tapes and
use those companies like I Memories to make them digital.
Covino showed me video of him playing, and I'm not
gonna lie. I'll give him props.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
He laid some kid.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Out him like that's you black and people of center. Yeah,
not a lot of glory, but I was one of
those kids.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
It was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
I just now you just sit around scratching your belly
watching Yankees, Kay Union, New Jersey nationally round number three
USA today.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Now there's two chances left for Reese to get one correct.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Perfet has the fourth fun fact.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
All right, get it together here his Jordan designed a
leather jacket using old football patches.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Oh, Coveno or Belichick, I'm gonna go with a bit.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Who's that Coveno?

Speaker 4 (51:32):
No, no, no, this is coming down to the wire now.
Last one. Spotty's not here, so I'll read the fifth
and final fun fact. Okay, Reese, listen closely. He uses
just for men Coveno or Belichick.

Speaker 9 (51:54):
I'll go with Belichick, Sorry, Reese, I use dark brown black,
the one with the Mexican guy on the cover.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
And people don't know he made Cavino looks like a
dead ringer from Mario Lopez. But if he didn't do that,
he'd look like Caesar Malan.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
Yeah, And if Belichick took care of himself, I'm pretty
sure he'd go to a salon money man.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Is that our first loser?

Speaker 6 (52:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:22):
In this game, you know what I think? For fet
Jinxton with that Beck song, and we came back with
so even bear oh man.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
But at least he's got some festivities going on there
in Lexington.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Hey, Babby, thanks for playing the game this sweep in
the nation. We appreciate it, all right, Reece, have a
great weekend.

Speaker 9 (52:38):
Brother, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Yeah, thank you, man, you can play again next week.
Love you buddy later A right, Kentucky, dew and Louisville.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
So that's just to clarify that but I don't want
anybody in Kentucky to be offended. Both are great cities.
Was in Louisville last year at Keenlin for the two
years ago for the Breeders Cup. It was a great,
great event. The Kentucky Oaks ran today, uh lotter rain,
so it was muddy good cheer. The favorite ends up
winning today at Churchill Downs, and of course he run

(53:06):
for the Roses tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Now it's time for this week's pro the week and
it goes to, oh, we're debating. Copper got his first
two home runs, Soto get out of here at City Field.
It has to be the guy with the winning shot
last night Jamon Brunson.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Forty points, not again, not again.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
The Pistons follow one sixteen, one thirteen and the mid
Knicks move on again. He had forty points, seven assists,
but he came up big, looking cool in the clutch
and like Danny G said before, you know, after missing
a pretty bad shot right there, he came through when
it counted, and props to him.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
He's our express pro pro of the week.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
I mean thing beside, I would have liked, like, I
don't know, I hope this is a rivaler three years
because it's a great I could have taken eleven games
of that. That was just chippy, hard basketball across the
up and down the court, you.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Kid, and that really was a fantastic series. Nothing to
be ashamed of your Pistons fan. In fact, what a
great turnaround from where they were. Hi, exactly. Congrats again
to Jaalen Brunson Express Pro Pro the week.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Let's do it. We can hob nobbin for the weekend.
You're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing?
You ever done anything dangerous? You ever dance with the devil?
In the panel line?

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Friday brings us we can hob all right, Well, the
main card just started.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Okay, I'd love it. You're actually agreed to put down
your phone.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Well, you saw I put a reminder. I put a
little setting on my phone and says, don't bother me
about the fight.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
I'm on delay.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Oh my god, you did. Yes, I do not disturb.
Don't give me any fight updates. I'm on delay. If
you hit me out with a fight update, that's like
hit me up with the next girlfriend ex wife update.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
You're not my friend anymore. I don't want to hear it.
I want to know, but it starts tonight. Fatal Fury got.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
TiO Fimos, you have Fimo Lopez and Barbosa.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
They're in the ring in Times Square. Don't tell Cavino,
don't tell me.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Then you got Hani Ramirez, Ramirez former champ. He's got
that left hoo just like Garcia did. And we know
Hani susceptible to it.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Yep. But this is.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Haini's comeback fight since he was embarrassed by Garcia.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
He's got to win. He's got to show up.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
And then Ryan Garcia tonight fighting Roly Romero, and Romero's
got a puncher's chance. He's strong, but I think Ryan
Garcia is gonna dominate him. As you were just telling
me off the air, this is a great fight night.
But I think what's even more important is the result
of these three fights will tell you where this division
is going exactly.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Yeah, a lot of implications moving forward.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
So watch this fight and enjoy, and then if you
bought the bundle, there was a fight bundle you could
buy tomorrow night on Treste Mayo sau Canelo Alure versus
William Skull, who's very big compared to Canelo, but Canelo
says he doesn't care. He's over six foot tall Williams Skull,
so he makes Canelo look tiny. So old canell Alva

(56:11):
sixty two two two. He's the WBAWVCWBO champ super middleweight champ,
and I'll trying to be unified because Skull is the
IBF champ. So if Canelo wins, if and when Canelo
dominates tomorrow, he's the unified super middleweight champion. You might
be the IBS champ. After all the taketos you're gonna
eat this weekend as possible as possible. Jimi Mungia also

(56:32):
fights on that car that's tomorrow night. And then if
you want to get even more hyped about the NBA
playoffs this weekend or the fights coming up, we did
a special yesterday on our bonus pot over Promised. That's
on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. We do it once
a week things we can't fit into the show because

the NHL.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
You're a big hockey fan.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Avalanche at the Stars five o'clock West Coast time, and
that game is in Dallas, and that's a Game seven.
And how could you not be interested in the Clippers Nuggets?
You were talking about even matchups for fet they're both
fifty and thirty two. The series is tied.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Three to three.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
It's in Denver, Clippers Nuggets. Who knows what's gonna happen,
But that's four thirty West Coast times seven thirty on
the East Coast.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
I know one person who's gonna be biting her nails
non stop her out here, that friend of ours monse.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Danny g. What's your read on that. You think y'all
get stepped up or you think the Clippers steal this one?

Speaker 4 (57:52):
They've had trouble in game sevens. I feel the Nuggies
coming on.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
I'm excited, and you know, it's also a fun show.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
I watch it for years, and I dipped way for
a minute because I thought lassie'son stunk. But now it's back.
You with Joe Goldberg. I hate the name Bronti of
the lead woman on the show. But you know what's
cool about the show is like, everybody know what Joe
Goldberg looks like, but when he puts a hat on,
nobody recognized me. I wonder, like, are you guys confused
when I come in with my hat on?

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Wait, that's Joe Goldberg. He's got a hat on.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
But you is back in the final season on that
food you know what, it unravels pretty good, man.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
I enjoyed it.

There's a twist midway through the final season. You're like, ooh.
Also on Apple TV, Danny g I.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Gotta say it every.

Speaker 1 (58:33):

That's a prefet. I know you're into that. Sub Is
that Marvel correct Thunderbolts? I am not into Marvel. No,
I this is Thunderbolts, thunder Marvel. I saw it is Marvel.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
I've seen the commercials for it, but I can't tell
you a dang thing about it.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Profet, biggest Marvel fan, I said, what did I say?

Speaker 1 (59:23):
I was saying, like I was, Sam, you strike me
as a big and He's like, no, not at all.

Speaker 5 (59:27):
So my read was wrong. But yeah, Thunderbolts is saying
that's like, that's like a Papa Bear question around here.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
So, uh, one hundred million dollars they're expecting this weekend,
so that should be your big movie.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Thunder.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
Sinners is apparently coming to seventy millimeter Imax like that
that that movie cannot be stopped.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
It just keeps going. I was just gonna say, is
that expected to be Sinners three weeks in? Yeah, Cinners
looks good, but yeah, this should be the one. Wow.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
And there's a like end of the World type of
show with aliens, and I feel like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
I'm not ever since what happened at the end of
episode two, I'm sort of taking a time out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
I yelled at for spoiling that because I had played
the games. You know what, I think you can say
it now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Let's just say someone died and I don't know how
to handle it, so you know who knows.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I'd have a great week. All died your NBA.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Enjoy everything, draw your fiesta, endow your fights, see you
