Devino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio dot com, or
stream us live every day on the iHeartRadio app by
searching FSR gott to talk about the fights this weekend,

(00:25):
I hope you had a Roly Romero weekend, not an
overall boxing sort of weekend. Because boxing had a horrible weekend,
or did it. We'll explain. I'll explain why did the
boxing game the NBA. When you want improvement, you got
to stop treating people like spoiled kids. I'll explain. Game
seven's were unbelievable this weekend. One in particular, like if

(00:45):
if you're not even a big hockey fan, you would
to appreciate what the Winnipeg Jets did. That was unbelievable.
I mean, every fan of that team was thinking, all right, man,
back to the drawing board next year. Less than two
seconds left, you time a game and then you win
in double overtime. A remarkable watch, even if you don't
care much about hockey. Oh mine, it's an Apple Iowa

(01:08):
Apple Watch. Thanks for asking, but yeah, Rich is basically saying,
I hope you had a Winnipeg Jets sort of weekend,
not a Ryan Garcia sort of weekend, props to the
Pacers and the Warriors sort of weekend. So some great basketball,
some great fiestas, some disappointing fights, and even in the UFC,

(01:28):
not that action pack. But thank you guys, hope you
had a nice holiday weekend. I say holiday because well,
may the fourth be with you. Lots of Star Wars action,
lots of surveys us consider me Hancholo. Well, Cavino on Rich,
we start where we left off, So we're doing Friday
show and we were successful. Not that you care, maybe
you do. We talked about how at the end of

(01:50):
the show we were all going to stay off our
phones for a couple hours and avoid the fight results
and start them at Kavino's house a couple hours later
and have our fight night. But the New York City
Times Square party had already begun, and we said, no, no,
I'm not gonna watch us on my phone. Cavino, just
don't look at your phone for the next two hours,

(02:10):
unless that's your daughter or someone texting you, let's watch
the fights on delay, and yeah, that worked. So we
got to my place and immediately it was just low energy.
It's like, what's going on here? And that's what happens
when you fill the place up with not real fans,
just VIPs. There's no passion involved. And the truth of

(02:30):
the matter is Turkey alask although props to his attempt
at creating great events. When you're paying these boxers so much,
you're taking the heart out of it, the desire and
fury and fight to win, because they're just dancing around
the whole time. Low energy fights, low energy atmosphere. Only
two hundred three hundred VIPs were there, which translates to

(02:54):
a boring watch for the viewer. So fatal fury. There
was no fury involved at all. And the only fatal
thing I saw was the death of boxing over the weekend,
or like I said, it was it. I'll explain, because man,
we got some really disappointing fights, and it really sucks
when you're amped up about it. You're paying ninety dollars
for these fights, and then you're inviting people over and

(03:16):
then when it's a dut of a car, do you
feel responsible as the host, like, hey, guys, thanks for coming,
but some of the fights were boring. The Camino's justifying
like he's the promoter, but you know what, I am
the promoter rich because I've been hyping that up on
this show for months. I mean, you know what I mean,
telling friends about it, family about it, and then you
get that you're like, yo, guys, you really embarrassed me. Yeah,

(03:38):
you're embarrassing to me, and you realize this is prize fighting.
You should be fighting for the prize. And that's where
I think you get lost. When you're paying people so much,
people get too content and they get lazy and they
lose that fire. I have a theory about that we're
gonna get to in a little bit. But I mean,
you are the boy that cried Fight of the Year. You,
I believe quote Steve Cavino, Yo, if you're not like

(04:01):
watching boxing Friday nights when you got a watch and
you're saying Devin Han's fighting Ryan Garcia, Tia Fima Lopez
three of the four Kings, bro, I mean, how many
times did you say three to the four Kings last week?
You'd never see a card with Hearns Hagler and Duran.
That disappointing, dude, I told you I read three Kings.
I rather see Haku King, Harley Race and the Macho King.

(04:21):
Like this was the weakest crap I've ever seen. And
I will say sometimes on paper something looks cooler than
it ends up being. I'm not saying the UFC at
the Sphere in Las Vegas was a fail, but I
remember thinking that was gonna be a lot cooler than
it was. If you said the Tyson Jake Paul fight.

(04:41):
I mean, we thought that was going to be, you know,
way cooler. And I think when you heard Times Square
Outdoors some of the biggest names. Yeah, there were cool
moments where it's like, oh, look, Tia Fimo is getting
out of an old school taxi cab on his way
to the ring, and Michael Buffer is there, and yo,
the return of Jim Lampley and Mike Tyson was part

(05:04):
of the announcing crew. That was the highlight. To be honest,
we said there's two highlights of this past week. I
feel about this fight. The fight is kind of confusing
to me. Actually, the highlights were Roly Romero with the upset,
the return of Jim Lampley, who himself admitted it was
a snooze fest and was great with Tarvor. Yeah, he
was great with Tarvor. Their chemistry. But the return of

(05:25):
Lampley was great. And the big winner was Carlos Bake
Shop because it got lots of airtime in the background,
in the background from Times Square. Buddy the cake Boss
was really pumped. He was the big winner of the weekend.
But Jim Lampley, who like returned to form and it
made you realize his voice is so synonymous with big fights.
And he was honest. He said, if there was ever
a fight that might make you want a snooze, take

(05:49):
a little nap. This is the law. Because Devin Haney,
now we're talking about Devin Haney, Ramirez, Devin Haney. They
say PTSD from getting knocked down from Garcia. But here's
the guy trying to redeem himself and he's dancing around,
running around the whole time. Ramirez couldn't even get to him. Well, so, man,
talking about disappointing, and again you have people over, you're

(06:10):
trying to have a great time. These guys are paying
getting paid lots of money to do what and it's
just disappointing for everybody when boxing needs it most. And
then it continued Saturday night, Canelo Alvarez gets in the
ring again with an overpaid opponent, skulls there dancing around
the whole time. Boring fight made three million dollars for

(06:32):
what doing the moonwalk the entire time? You want to
see a fight? That's what it is, right, a fire
or is it dancing with the stars? And that is
disappointing on a holiday weekend, it's the biggest fight weekend
of the year. Luckily, I think it was saved or
was it? No, not at all. You said this to

(06:53):
me earlier, and I'm like, no one watches ESPN plus
Sunday Night fight. Well, it was a great fight on
Sunday Night for one of the pound four pound bests.
In a way, none even knows that guy. Do you
sound foolish? Don't even say that because he's one of
the best in the game for years. Dude just said
the other guys are the best in the game. In
a way, it fights game. There's different weight divisions, you clown,

(07:14):
so in a way fought Cardenas Sunday night as part
of a big fight with people watching game sevens in
hockey or basketball, or you think they're watching in a
way on ESPN Plus, were you snorting pixie sticks before
you came here? Let me finish for him to say,
at least all hyped up, you came win in a
way one even when he thought he wouldn't. This guy

(07:35):
Cardenas gets in the ring, knocks down in a way
second time in his career, in a way, comes back
in a battle. Again, this is Sunday night. My point
in bringing this up is this was a Sunday night
fight and it was one of the best fights I've
seen in a long time, and it was on ESPN
Plus and nobody saw it. So I agree with him
in a way. In a way, you get a car

(07:57):
in a way thought came back, fought like a real champion,
two people really fighting with pride on the line, fighting
for the prize, a real battle. And people are like,
oh man, thank god, we got at least one good fight.
But you know who saw that, just real true boxing fans.
No one else saw that. It was on ESPN Plus.
When you mentioned great basketball, great hockey, the last of us,

(08:18):
a bunch of other things going on on a Sunday night,
Who was really watching that. Actually I agree with Rich,
but he didn't even let me say it. You know,
I agree with him. It was a great fight, but
nobody watched the fights we were hyped for and paid
ninety bucks for wah Wa, So it's just really disappointing
as a fight. But you know what, you're the question is,
how do you fix it? You might have answered, well,

(08:39):
you're you're the fool that bought into you watch all
these crap fights with garbage. But just because Terrence Crawford
comes out there and he's like, oh wow, Canelo Crawford's
gonna happen in September? Are you gonna fall for the
bait again? That's where I'm getting at. So was it
at this pointing weekend? Was it redeemed? In two ways?

(09:01):
It was? On Saturday after the Canelo fight, they announced
that Canelo Crawford's finally happening. And what's wild about it
is Crawford's coming up in wait to one sixty eight
to fight Canelo. Yet he's the bigger guy. That's what's
crazy about it. Crawford's coming up in wait to finally
fight the super fight for the super middleweight championship one

(09:24):
sixty eight. Yet he's bigger than Canelo, but he's mean
mugging Canelo. Canel's smirking at him, and you're like, this
is what it's about. Because these these two guys have
too much dogging them, too much fighting them to give
you a disappointing fight, it has to be a great fight.
If not, that is the fatal fury of boxing. That's

(09:44):
the final punch for boxing. That's the death of boxing
if this doesn't deliver. So it was announced that that
fight's going down one sixty eight on September twelfth, Canelo Crawford,
So there's something redeeming. And then, of course the Sunday
Night fight that nobody saw. I don't know how you
fix this, and I'll I'll give you my analogy. I'll
give you my analogy. When you pay NBA players forty

(10:05):
fifty sixty million dollars a year and you allow load
management to happen, I know, the NBA sort of you know,
put the smack down a little bit. When you pay
boxers a huge purse from Sheikh Ali A Babwa. His
name is Turkey Ala Chic, his excellency, mind you Turkey
Ela King, I'll have that on Riye Turkyo tool from

(10:28):
Benigans Bennigans was fantastic. But if this the CHIKH is
paying tens of millions of dollars, if Shoba, if the
NBA is paying tens of millions of dollars. But the
players and fighters get away with this, they will not change.
It's like my kids. If I tell my kids, yo, hey,
stop fighting, listen to dad. If you don't stop listening,

(10:51):
I'm gonna take away your Pokemon cards and your iPads.
If they know that Dad's not really going to take
away their iPads, They're not gonna lie listen. And what
motivation do these fighters have to put on a fight
when tell me the last time they was like, wow,
that's a fight last Sunday this Sunday night in a
way versus Cardinas. Dude, it was Sunday night on ESPN

(11:14):
plus it was a bad outside that someone watched. Like
when was it the big paper Connor Ben and a
big pay per view bang? You know two weeks ago?
Tell a big pay per view pype fulfilled like a
name that anyone in this room, those other than you.
I mean, these are big names, bro, just because you
don't know them. In boxing or in fighting. These are

(11:34):
big names. I'm talking about big names that like Danny,
dan by Er Me Samuel and we're sports fans, like
we know that the last one. I don't know the
last one, but thank you, dad. But I watched so
many good fights, dude, so you're asking the wrong guy.
It's just that these are the fights that even the
casual fans should be pulled into. And they they're dunds.
So that's what makes it bad. You got actual fight

(11:56):
fans saying, you know, dude, you got to watch this one,
I think, and then it doesn't deliver. It doesn't look
good for boxing, I'll admit it. But how do you
fix it? Right? That's the question. Box. No, the Turkey
alis chic guy's doing everything he can to provide a
great event, but he's overpaying these dudes. These are paydays
that these fighters have never seen. If he made them

(12:17):
more KO incentive or punch that incentive or knockdown incentive incentivized,
maybe you'd see more of a battle instead of just
handing out millions of dollars to these dudes. Hey, listen,
if you get a knockout, Hey, if you knock this
dude down, Hey, if you hit X amount of punches
on the punch that maybe you incentivize the payday. It's

(12:37):
prize fighting. He could do whatever he wants. He's paying
these dudes an exorbitant amount of money to do what,
so he could call the shots if he wants to.
And I think after that it only seems like they're
taking advantage of this dude. He has to do something
like that if he's going to really change the game. Plus,
Dana White could also change the game. You know he's
involved now, and he's also involved in the promotion of

(12:57):
Canelo Crawford. I'm hearing. So he's going to do something
to fix it. They gotta do something to fix it.
You gotta incentivize. You mentioned your kids, just anybody, basketball players, fighters.
When people are spoiled like that, they lose their hunger,
their desire, their fury, and that goes to anything in life.
You want to see the lazy guy at the office.

(13:18):
He's overpaid, he's content, he's not working hard. He lost
that hunger. I see it all the time. Why do
people get lazy because they have no incentive? How many
times as a husband get a gut and stop being
romantic for his wife how many times as a wife
put on a couple pounds and stop shaving her legs.
So if these dudes are making millions and millions of

(13:39):
dollars just for showing up, of course they're gonna dance
around because he doesn't want to get his ass beat
by Canelo. And I'm saying he's not as easy as
you think to correct this. So it is because he's
the guy paying them. You think the Sheikh could just
come out and be like, yeah, she don't like it,
like rock the Casba, he don't like it.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, Alpharez Crawford is going to be at Allegiance in Vegas,
so right off the bat, that's going to be so
much better. We missed that crowd noise, you guys. Buddy
who was there, he told us, he said, man, this
feels like a COVID event.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well that's what kay. He's like, Yodis reminds me COVID.
But that was one of the first things that Ryan
Garcia said. You don't want to make excuses for the kid,
because I mean, dude, after that long year layoff and
all the criticism you got about Ostereen, and if there's
ever a time to prove that you were still the
guy it was that weekend, right, he said, it felt surreal,
like it felt like a sparring match because there was

(14:33):
no real fans there. So you lose a little bit
of the authenticity when you try to put on a spectacle. Unfortunately,
so yeah, props for trying, but it didn't work out.
All in all, was a failed experiment. And I gave
you my suggestions. We got that Canelo fight, there was
a good fight on Sunday. How do you fix the problem?

(14:56):
Are we just suckers though? To say, I think the
Canelo fight's gonna be done. The Crawford Canalo Fight's going
to be a real good fight, I'd like to think,
because these are two dudes that don't back down, and
they don't back up. I'm just saying, we thought the
fights on Friday were gonna be good. We thought the
Saturday fight was gonna be good. How many times does
the fight have to suck? How many? How many? How
many times? Before it's just like, all right, dude, I'm

(15:18):
not gonna watch It's true yet, no, I look again,
Because these are the ones that you got casual fans
tuning into, you expect them to deliver. There are great
fights in between. I mentioned Connor Ben Chris Hubank. That
was two weeks ago. It was one of the most
fantastic fights. It just wasn't big enough names for the
casual fan. So great fighting exists. It's just incentivize the prize,

(15:43):
the payday because there's no reason face someone to be
embarrassed if they're getting paid millions of dollars. Anyway, Fans
have been saying that for years. Could the Sheikh be
the guy that does it? How many times have you thought,
I don't mind these athletes getting paid tens of millions
of dollars, But uh, what if a professional baseball player
was incentivized where it's like, if you hit forty more

(16:06):
home runs, that's what another ten mil kicks in, or hey,
one hundred got to just based on results, Man, it
would be collusion. But if all the teams got together
and said, hey, we got to make this incentive based now,
I don't know where you would even start. I guess
the she can because it's his own lead, his excellency. Yeah,
I make it make it happen that way. Otherwise you're
people are not gonna want to buy the pay per

(16:26):
view if that's the result we're getting. We're getting these lazy,
low energy fights with lazy, low energy fans. So that
was the weekend guys. It was really disappointing. I agree
with rich On that Devin Haney because tia Fimo fought great.
Barbosa couldn't do anything to him, though, so it was
a dominating fight, kind of boring. It was the first

(16:46):
fight no one cared. Devin Hany Ramirez was one of
the worst fights ever, to the point where Jim Lampley
couldn't pretend and lose his own credibility in pretending that
it was a good fight. He admitted that it was
a snoozefest. Even Mike Tyson was at a loss for words. Yeah,
I don't know what to say right now because there

(17:07):
was nothing to say. So yeah, devn Haney Ramirez I
think was the worst fight because Devin Haney just ran
the whole time again a guy with tons to prove,
and then Ryan Garcia just got his ass whooped by
Roli Romero and didn't do anything. So disappointing weekend of fights. However,
props to the Pacers and the Warriors because and we're

(17:27):
also comparing it to NBA playoffs, which is heating up
right now. But that was sort of my point, like, yeah,
if it's not going to deliver, you think anyone, Like.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
All the two Game sevens in the NBA were both
kind of snoozers. They are the standout game I was
trying to convince you guys to turn it on. Last
night was the double overtime Winnipeg Jets game.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
When you know there's a fine, fine woman who you've
had your eye on for a long time, you finally
get with her and it's a dut and you're like,
what that's how you felt? It's not what I had
in mind. Man, she brought no action. What is going
on here? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Your dog Theo had more energy than all the boxers combined.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
My dog Theo was more exciting and entertaining. My dog
Theo humping on Danny G's leg was more fun than
watching these fights. Seriously, he had more fun than anybody.
I mean, thank how the company was good and I
have a story that I'm gonna I'm gonna save our
Friday night because the fight's stunk. But there was a
story and this is a great what would you do?

(18:29):
And it has to do with pizza and I can't
tell you the last time I've been this aggravated. Tell us, please, though,
to wrap up this out of the story, how much
you paid for the pizza, because it really adds to
the disappointment. Before you tell us what hell, I'll tell
you how much I paid for the pizza, and then
I have a story when we come back and between.

(18:49):
And then here's the problem nowadays with pizzeri is I
don't want to sell like an old guy. Nowadays, I
call the pizzeri we love, Yeah, my guy. We don't
got delivery guys. You're gonna have to go through Uber
eats or grub hub or door dash, which stinks because
that's like you're adding a step, and you're adding a
step of someone that doesn't give a crap, like if

(19:10):
you work at a restaurant, you want to make sure
your food gets to the person quick and fresh, door Dash,
Uber Eats, grub Hub. I don't trust any of this,
which is why I never use it. But I had to.
And after all the fees, taxes, tip which they make
you include. Hold on, we have exclusive audio rich that'll
be uh ninety four dollars close not far off. Two

(19:34):
pies a large regular pizza, large cheese and a large
Sicilian seventy eight dollars. I did the quick math. Seventy
eight dollars for two pies, plus the ninety nine dollars
we paid for the fight. It's one hundred and seventy
seven dollars. Good math, bro, You need to calculated for that.
But you know how good that pizza has to be

(19:55):
to even balance out the disappointment of that night. You
get all your friends together for this level of disappointment,
it's it's horrible, but that's a lot of money to spend.
This pizza story is a top level John ki Yones,
what would you do? And I'll tell you that story. Yeah,
these fights, man, how do you fix them? They were

(20:16):
so weak? But we did get the Canelo Crawford announcement.
We did get a good fight on Sunday that had
nothing to do with the previous card we talked about.
But you just said it. The coolest part of the
whole thing was an announcement. Yeah it was. It was
a disappointing weekend of fights. However, you had your derby,
maybe you made some money. You had some great basketball.
I'll tell you what ratings was the Kentucky Derby highest

(20:39):
rating since nineteen eighty nine. Seventeen plus million people watch,
So people were interested in the Funny House Kryptonite come on?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, and a peanut allergy was involved.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yes, I know, yeah, we might get to that if
we have time. But your phone calls eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox? How do you fix these disappointing fights?
Plus Rich has a story? Everything about fight night was disappointing.
Johnny Minnesota? Has that your answer? Hey, Johnny, He's gonna
solve boxing. What's up, Johnny? You're on the CNR show.
Oh you got can you hear me loud and clear? Oh?

Speaker 3 (21:15):
I'm from Minnesota's way up north? Dog?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
So anyways, that why why do they put boring fights
on like that?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Everybody knows what's gonna happens, good outcomes already foreseen.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
And the best fight of the year so far was,
like I said earlier this afternoon, Mike Tyson beaten some
YouTube dude up from Nickelodeon.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Man, what's up?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
And that fight sucked. So it's not saying a whole lot,
but again, these are there's a lot of good fights
that just aren't as highly promoted. In between good fighting exists,
but those fighters actually fighting for something, their prize, to
be a name in the sport, to get out of poverty.
They're fighting for something. These dudes we saw over the weekend,

(21:58):
they're not fighting for any That's why you get low
energy out. I promise you if people and I wonder
if the pay per view numbers stunk or they were great,
we'll find out. But if people had him paid for
those fights, you were turning them off like they were
that bad. And you know, NBA, NHL way more exciting.
The fact that we're talking about boxing is because of
the letdown. It needs to be fixed. However, as the

(22:22):
meme goes, sorry, Houston Rockets fans, you got the number
two seed, went all this way not to lose to
Steff but to Buddy Healed. Yeah. Some exciting basketball for sure.
But Rich, don't forget you promised the pizza story. So
we were hanging out with our guy. It was me,
Danny g Rich, our buddy Al and our buddy Pete

(22:42):
pizza by So this is where he gets aggravating us
could be So I ordered the pizza ahead of time
to get to Kavina's. I'm leaving my daughter's dance class,
and I'm like, a right comin by my way. Danny
G's on his way. Perfect, we'll watch the fights. I
ordered the pizza at five point thirty. This is all unnecessary,
but it makes sense because you'll be even more aggravated.
Ordered it at five point thirty. They said six point

(23:04):
twenty delivery. I said, perfect, that's around the time we
were all getting to Cavinos. Anyway, six point twenty. I
get an alert on the phone again, as I said before,
after what is it? Seventy eight dollars or two pizzas? Sorry,
it's now six forty. I'm like, oh, twenty minutes. I
find that's a big deal. Six point fifty six fifty

(23:26):
seven o'clock inching up like a traffic app. Dude, it's
it's like the minutes on ways when you're waiting for
your car, Like just the longest seven minutes ever. Finally
it's seven fifteen, an hour and a half hour. Forty
five minutes later, a buzzer for Covino's condo. Oh, pizzas here.
Guy can't figure out the door. So I'm like, I'll

(23:47):
go down and get the pizza. Maggravated to begin with,
I look over Covino's balcony, and I'm like, Na, my
eyes must be deceiving me because I think I see something.
I'm like, no, this can't be true. I must not
be seeing this correctly. I go to Camino's front door.
This pizza delivery guy has our two pizzas. Dan Bayer

(24:09):
Iowa Sam Danny Gen knows the story, I ask you not.
He's holding these pizzas under his arm like attract books,
like they're LPs, like like he's carrying his social studies vertical,
like he's carrying a surfboard, vertical pizza boxes. I damn
lose my mind. I'm like, your guy, have you ever

(24:30):
f it held the pizza box in your life? I
opened the pizza. They've slid all to one side, and
everything's a mess. He's half crust. And this guy apathetically,
he apathetically looks at me. He apathetically looks at me like, hey,
my friend, what do you want me to do? Mike again,
I don't know, hold it the proper way, I said

(24:51):
to this guy. My whole lot, just the right way,
that's all. And I'm a pretty calm guy with customer
service and delivery people, I said, to him multiple times,
like are you eving kidding me? Have you ever in
your life? There's no excuse for that. Held the pizza
box ties together is people, not carings. But that's like
that's like you get your money back kind of egregious. No,
but it's a third party guy. He doesn't care about

(25:12):
the company, he doesn't care about your experience. He's acting
like he's never held a box of pizza in his life.
We don't know, and that's what he does for a living.
We don't want a col zone. We want pizza. We
don't want to fold it over. By the way, it
didn't dawn on me rich because I'm not a grub
hub kind of guy or door Dash whatever company is.
I didn't realize that they almost completed door trash. Door

(25:33):
Trash is right. They cut out the middleman, so it
actually an actual delivery guy from the pizza place is
non existent.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
But your job is to deliver the food intact, like
it's very basic thing.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
So two layers to this again, it would be like
someone delivering a birthday cake, a sheet cake and holding
it inside face to me, it's like, have you ever
held a pizza box? But I do ask a question
before we move on, you go to damn Buyer's update.
As John king Yonis would say, what would you do?
You wait an hour and a half for pizza and

(26:06):
the guy's holding him, Like I said, like social studies books.
I mean, you want to karate kick the guy. But
that's not a proper thing to do.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
You can't do anything with DoorDash. But I would call
the pizza company and I would say.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Hey, listen, here's what happened, and this is how you're
being represented. Man, Yes, that is true. They have the
right to know that. Yeah, not even to get money
back or anything. I think I'm gonna call him today. Man, No, lesson.
I don't need anything free. You should Yeah, that's that's
a good point. I think you should too. Yeah, not
that you want anything, because luckily it still tasted good

(26:36):
because it because it was so late already nothing melted off. Yeah,
I said. The benefit was is that it was it
was like, already get a little cold, because this guy
stunk so much that like he probably made five stops
before he came host, Like I benefited from the pizza
not being fresh out the oven. So I ask you,
what would you do other than want to karate kick

(26:58):
this guy and not do it. Probably me take take
away the tip. But I just couldn't do that. I
went on the app and I'm like, I pulled Dave
Portnoy and killed him with kindness. Yeah, I'm like, you
know what, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to
be the better man. Maybe he had a bad day.
Maybe this guy's never seen a pizza box in his life.
Maybe he's from another planet.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
In the words of Rob Parker being quoted by Steve
di Seger, or maybe reverse that.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I ain't pay I ain't paid for that. And it
was just the disappointing icing on a disappointing fight night.
So that was it. That was the fight weekend. But again,
Derby basketball, there was a lot of other highlights we're
going to get to. And speaking of highlights, our boy
Dan Byer's got some right now, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (27:41):
We got some We got some takeout pizza with some
other stuff last night from a spot and when I
was carry out, I picked it up and I felt
like there was a manager there. So I told the
guys that go we come to this spot special guys,
Oh thank you. Maybe the manager will here shoot the guys, right, Yeah,
do you ever have that that's just it's not rubbery

(28:02):
because it's overcooked.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
It's just like that tight something something's wrong with him.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Yees.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Half of our boneus chicken was like that. It was atrocious.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
I know that feeling.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Every bite is like you don't want to like bite
because you don't know what you're gonna bite. It was,
it was, it was awful. And so I called him
back and said, I lied.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I lied.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
That did not happen tonight, No ordering pizzas. Tonight Eastern
Conference semi Finals Game one Nixon Celtic nights Man. Maybe tomorrow,
Maybe on a Tuesday, Nixon Celtic seven o'clock Eastern time,
nine thirty Eastern. Nuggets and Thunder will start their Western
Conference semifinal series. Jazz signed coach Will Hardy to a
contract extension that keeps him in Salt Lake City through

(28:45):
twenty thirty one. The NFL Draft will be held in Washington,
d C. On the National Mall between the Washington Monument
and US Capital. Announcement made today by President Trump in
the Oldville Office Oval Office, that is, he was standing
next to NFL Commissioner Roger Good and Commander's owner Josh Harris.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Now that's gonna be so optically cool, isn't it. Justice
the show we talked recently about how big the NFL
Draft got damn by her Like, now it's going to
be in the mall there in DC, absolutely a couple
of years away. Next year is going to be in Pittsburgh.
But then in twenty twenty seven in DC.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
And the big news breaking within the past hour, the
Baltimore Ravens have released kicker Justin Tucker after thirteen seasons,
eight of those in all Pro. The team today released
the statement announcing the release. GM and Executive VP Eric
DaCosta called it a football decision. Sixteen massage therapists have
accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior from sessions from twenty

(29:37):
twelve to twenty sixteen in the Baltimore area. Again, Justin
Tucker released by the Ravens today. Guys, back to.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
You, big Hill. You think he'll kick this year? Someone
will pick him up? Or what? Too much drama? No?

Speaker 5 (29:49):
No, I don't touch Yeah no, who wants that? The
Ravens are letting him go? I mean for anything that
has a connection to him. By the way, he also
hasn't been as good as he once was, saying that
played into it.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
But in the NFL you lose a step. Yeah you know, yeah, yes, absolutely, yeah.
And plus Rich, if it was like one or two people,
you may think, yeah, well, let's see what happens, right,
team sixteen people, you got to say, where there's smoke,
there's gotta be some fire there, right. I don't know.
I definitely wait to see what happens. I don't think
the story will have a happy ending. Oh boy, hey

(30:22):
he's denied the allegations. Just for the record, Yeah, I
have some Phil Sims on your mind. Well, there are
three football updates, like three things that we've talked about
that I want to just sort of give you the
follow up on. So many times we talk about something,
there's updates, but much like everyone, we've moved past the story, right,
And that happens a lot where there's a hot story

(30:44):
and that's like, oh yeah, whatever happened with Mike last week?
We talked about Abdul Carter and at first him asking
for LT's number, and Lawrence Taylor is like, nah, he
with grace, Yeah, he said lose my number, brouh. And
then Phil Simms Giants legend. I say that kindly said, hey, dude,

(31:06):
you can have number eleven if you want. Apparently, Phil
Simms was outvoted, out voted by his family said no, no,
you're not doing that. So now Abdul Carter so of like, man,
I don't got no number. What have I just got
my shirt on my back with my name. Just kidding.
He'll find his own number, which I think is the
right path through this young man. Anyway, he's gonna be
a great player in the NFL. Get your own number.

(31:26):
Number two. Remember when Joe Burrow had his house unfortunately
broken into, and everyone's like, oh wow. His employee Olivia Ponton,
the supermodel, and it was like, wait, what she doing
hanging around Burrow's house. She's the one that reported it
to nine one one when they were away. Well, he
shut up to a Miami hotspot with her for the

(31:47):
weekend and I was like, yeah, look at him with
his employee. Then there's a house sitter, Yeah, his house sitter.
They're looking all happy. So Joe Burrow enjoying his off
season and Aaron Rodgers, I'll say we talked about the
Kentucky Derby highest ratings in over thirty something years. Wow,

(32:09):
Aaron Rodgers had what appeared to be a wedding ring
on and God Danny g hates nothing more than Aaron Rodgers' speculation.
But you have thirty seconds to talk about him. Maybe
it's a promise rate. You don't know Aaron Rodgers not
only has he not made a decision on the Steelers yet,
even his best bros like McAfee and aj Hawk, they're
all like, yo, bro, we don't know. We don't know

(32:31):
what's going on with this guy. So is Aaron Rodgers married?
Who knows? Is he gonna play in the NFL? Maddid?
Who knows? Aaron Rodgers? A mystery of the world. And
speaking of Belichick over the weekend, I saw man his
story doesn't go away. Ggi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are
now a couple and there's a twenty year age difference.

(32:51):
And to that, Belichick's like, all right, hold my beer. Yeah,
but twenty years way different, right, way different, And optically
it's not as bad. Yeah, no doubt have been undressed,
no doubt. But hey, as we look at your feedback,
let's take one quick phone call from Ryan and the
cues said, uh, he had a thought on the pizza story.
As you heard last hour, our pizza showed up and

(33:13):
the guy's holding them like textbooks pizza boxes. What's up right?

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (33:18):
I just wanted to call in and mention that Third
Rock from the Sun. Back in the nineties starring John Liscow,
they did a bit where he would come home with
a pizza and set it down on the table vertically
and opened the box.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Ruined every time.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
And they were.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Right, they didn't know, and so that just made me
think of it.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Wait a second, So what you're saying is we were
visited by aliens. Oh my god, that makes the story
way cooler. You know, you just made our Friday story
way colder. Chrich was he like eight or nine feet
all with big eyes? Oh my god, Danny, you know what.
We had terrible fights to watch, but we got pizza
delivered from an alien. You know, today, after twenty two years,

(34:06):
is the final day of Skype. Skype called it quits today.
And when you think about it, when you were making
a FaceTime sort of call, that was your go to
place for a long time. Video calls were done in
one capacity at one point of Skype. Skype, that's all
we had Skype or FaceTime. Maybe right, face time came

(34:27):
after FaceTime came after Skype was the og. Well, if
you want to be accurate about it, I believe Pee
Wee Herman invented it. First. Pee Wee Herman had that.
Nobody had that video messaging. He had that video call
screen back, So fair enough. Before all that, it was
Pee wee Herman. But after Pee Wee Herman. By the way,
his documentary looks really good. It does. End of May,
Skype was the og when it came to video calls.

(34:51):
So COVID came around, and you would think, all right,
let's all get on Skype to talk to our friends
and family because we're all here quarantine and coworkers and
co workers. Skype. That's what we had our meetings on. Yeah, man,
we'll skype somebody whatever. I was in a long distance
relationship Skype. Everything was Skype. And then when you needed

(35:12):
video calls because we were all again quarantined, all of
a sudden, zoom became a thing, and you're like, well,
what happened to Skype. Here's what happened to Skype. He
dropped the ball. Yeah, so let's look about the biggest
fumbles in life because today, after twenty two years, it's over.
Stick a fork in it. Skype is just a memory.

(35:32):
It's just an old thing that we used to use.
So when you think of other fumbles, the biggest fumbles
in life, aside from the butt fumble, which is the
king of all fumbles, I'll give you one Roger Roger
Craig fumbling in nineteen ninety when the Niners are trying
to three feet aside from Mark Sanchez, what are other
fumbles in life holding the extra point? It could be, yeah,

(35:55):
it could be. It could be sports related, that's fine,
but it could also be just life real or business related.
Because when you think of Skype, because Skype should have
been and could have been that brand we all went
to and said, Zoom took over out of nowhere. What
were other ones that totally blew the opportunity? I think
I'll give out the obvious one, Rich because Blockbuster is
always the company that comes to mind. I know the

(36:16):
details and all this because I am two thousand's boy.
I'm also on serious exam Pop two K and I've
mentioned this quite a bit over the years, the way
Skype's at a loss to Zoom and you're like, how
did that happen? You were the guy Skype? How do
you let that slip by? Like? How how do you
let COVID and a pandemic happen five years ago and
not be the video purs This was your the moment

(36:38):
you've been waiting for. You would think, right, it's like right,
like I almost like that company is like one day
the world's gonna need us. And what they weren't ready?
That's that's really the bottom line. Yeah, infrastructure wasn't there,
people weren't in place, they weren't ready for the moment,
and zoom take took over. So I'm gonna give you
the two best examples that I could think of. And then,
whether it is sports metaphorically a fumble or an actual

(36:59):
fun the biggest fumbles of all time, it could be
an athlete that missed an opportunity, an opportunity to buy
a team or do something, and maybe a big trade
wasn't executed, the biggest quote fumble shack Max says Skype
not delivering in that moment or failing in that moment
is only second to maybe Falcons pats, you know what

(37:23):
I mean? In the Super Bowl, how do you blow
this opportunity, your your Skype. You know how they always
say this things like uh brands that are synonymous that
you actually say the brands like band Aid is actually
a brand, or Xerox, Q top, Q Tips, Kleenex. You
would Skype was what you sort of said? Skype? Yeah,
I'm gonna skype, you know, skit on Skype. We're gonna

(37:45):
Skype tonight, or we're gonna skype the meeting Skype, Skype, Skype.
What was the I remember the uh samdad do do doo? Dude,
dude do do do doe? No Skype? Yeah, it was.
You know, I'm saying not anymore. The two that come
to my from me Blockbuster if you it's been set
in documentaries and it's you have the you have this

(38:08):
sound effect? Oh yeah that was it? Which one was
I deal with it? I don't know, maybe your own
little jingle someone skyping your out, but but you never
hear that again. Yeah, it's like that's gonna be put
that in the archives with the AOL signing on sound
Blockbuster Blockbuster Video. Back in the day when they had

(38:31):
a chance to pivot to digital, they thought their better
move was no, no, no, no late fees. They banked
on that. They banked on no late fees. Wheneveryone there
were internal people saying, like digital, we gotta go digital.
They said no, no, no, no, you know how we're gonna
We're gonna take it to the next level, no late fees.

(38:52):
Not only did the company lose money. At one point,
Blockbuster was approached by Netflix twenty five years ago in
the early days of Netflix when you were mailing the
early days of like mailing a DVD, and Netflix said listen,
if you want, you could absorb us for fifty million dollars,
and Blockbuster said, now we're good. Everybody made it a

(39:14):
block bus. Block Buster could have absorbed Netflix. Everybody had
the card. We were all invested with their streaming and
mail infrastructure, and Blockbuster could have acquired Netflix for fifty
million dollars. And Blockbuster was so cocky and said, nah,
we're good. You know this Skype story. I bet you, Blockbuster,

(39:36):
this is the best news Blockbuster gotten a long time,
because Skype. This Skype story is just as bad. It
really is. We didn't even know what Zoom was, and
all of a sudden it was like a thing. You're
not the market cap for Netflix is today. Guess what
four hundred and sixty two billion, dude, and't think of
how a weak Netflix was too? Yes, like they were
they were sending DVDs to people you had. I had
to sign it too, Netflix to my Xbox three sixty

(39:58):
when I first got it. But the but you knew
that there was something digital going on, and you knew
that they're mailing DVDs. But the simple effacted Blockbuster. How
many times have big companies acquired little companies just to
remain the brand leader, right like you just want to
absorb so that you are still the brand leader. Fifty
million dollars, no thanks, and Netflix is now worth four

(40:19):
hundred and eighty two billion dollar market cap. I got
a sports one and another one to go along with this.
When you're talking about biggest fumbles in life or missteps
however you want to describe it, for Skype not to
be what Zoom is today, Man, what a disappointment twenty
two years of business ended today. The classic one has
to be the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth, right, Like,

(40:42):
what a misstep that was because the Yankees built their
whole legacy around that guy. Then Betts, Yeah, there's a
lot of classic examples, you know, in sports history, certain
people were passed on. There's always classic classic examples there.
I mean, I think every team can name one legend

(41:02):
that got away exactly. I mean, you could say the Mets,
Nolan Ryan, the Mets, why I get whatever, get out
of here, Nolan Ryan. The Red Sox got David Ortiz
because the Twins were like the Twins, like, yeah, he's
not even gonna start. I mean, they didn't pass on them,
but they got rid of him. He was just in.
I think he hit eleven home runs with the Twins.

(41:22):
When it comes to Skype, I think of MySpace because
MySpace was something great at one point social media. MySpace
never even made it to something on your phone ever,
and I thought it had such a perfect infrastructure for
the time because you could personalize it. You made your
top eight, you were communicating with people, You're meeting people

(41:44):
all over the country, flirting with women, making friends. And
then all of a sudden you let all these bots
and fake profiles infiltrate the system, and somewhere along the
line it lost its way and Facebook took over and
my Space was gone. Danny g I would have put
you in my in my top bay back then, we're boys.
Like my Space was fun, dude, it was that was

(42:07):
of course there was friends through other things, but my
Space was huge.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, And as the meme says, we were all computer
programming our front pages.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Remember that's what I'm saying. We're yeah, we're learning coding
person lines with our favorite songs. Everybody had a certain page.
It was fun. MySpace was dope. Facebook came along and
wiped it. But it's even worse the misstep. It's even
worse than that because I know them sold out and
made he made some cash. Yeah, but but listen, as
similar to my Blockbuster Netflix story, at one point when

(42:37):
they were both present in the in the social media space,
Zuckerberg said, hey, listen, MySpace, if you want to buy us,
the price tag is seventy five million dollars. And MySpace
could have acquired Facebook another misstuff for seventy five million dollars. Tom,
I hear Tom's doing just fine. Yeah, of course, and

(43:00):
or justin Timberlake bought my Space to at one point
to try to save it. But it was such a
great time at one point, and then they had a
chance and they blew him just to give you the
math on that. Yeah, seventy five million dollars. MySpace said no, no,
we're We're good. So Facebook, that's cute, We're good. The
again market cap for Meta which is now Facebook, Instagram

(43:24):
and everything they own under that Zuckerberg, which would have
the guy would have taken seventy five mili one point
five trillion. Yeah, talking about miss it's the richest. Meta
is now the richest company in the United States. But
how do you think the world? How do you think
my Space fields? When when whoever was running MySpace at
the time said no, we don't want to acquire you

(43:45):
for seventy five million dollars, that might be the biggest
business wonder of all time. And by the way, on
the day where Skype is done, and it should have
been everything that Zoom is today when they had their
opportunity during the pandemic. Was that other one that had
a chance, that had a thing for a minute, like
the party room what was it called where everyone was

(44:06):
getting together part house party? Remember house party was a
thing for a second and people were hopping on just
to get together and have like a social night via
the computer. Like everybody had a drink in their hand.
Everybody had a dream. Hey, I guess we'll do this.
It's kind of fun. They had their moment, but Skype
really blew it. So the other missteps are biggest fumbles

(44:28):
in life. What else you got, Danny G. Toys r Us.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
You hear the stories about how they didn't innovate, so
they died. They did not capitalize on the online retail boom.
They they dragged their feet. They didn't want to have
a big online presence. They they had a presence, but
they didn't aggressively embrace e commerce.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, they believed that, you know, kids want to come
in there and see the toys and the and the uh,
just this experience of going to Toys.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
R US exactly, And so they left the market open
for the competitors Amazon, Walmart, Target, and they fell apart.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Yeah, it's a great one. Honestly, Toys r US. You
would think, how are they gonna fall apart? Now your
kids think of the toy store, you know what they think?
The toy store is going Mom to Target. Yeah, a
couple of stopping at Walmart.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
They've got a few miles. Let me give you one Mark,
let me give you U is all of us new parents.
We wish we could bring our kids to a real
toys You remember the thrill of man toys r rush.
The world's ever changing.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
I'm gonna give you one fumble, but since it's baseball related,
I'll say this is a good bak. This is a
little bok so to speak. The Yankees. I love this.
I don't know why. I bring it up at least
once a year. One of the greatest bargains ever. I can't.
I can't believe this was even real. In nineteen seventy three, CBS,

(45:45):
led by head executive Michael Burke, sold the Yankees to
George Steinbrewner Senior for ten million dollars. Like you if
your early fifties, to think that the Yankees sold in
your lifetime for ten million dollars, that's insane. To think
they are now worth eight and some people value possibly

(46:06):
up to ten billion dollars that the Yankees are worth now.
So one of the most storied expensive franchises you know,
almost were ten billion dollars. CBS just unloaded them to
a private buyer for ten mili Your Yankees, dude, It's insane.
There's also so many classic examples of people that passed

(46:26):
on legendary acting roles, and that could be you a
legendary opportunity you missed out on. So the biggest fumbles
in life missed opportunities. Skype goodbye. It was nice knowing you.
You should have been everything that zoom is. You already
had a head start. Everybody had it downloaded, everybody knew
what it was, everybody had a screen name, everybody had

(46:47):
it on their phone. How did you mess that up? So?
What else comes to mind? Sports in life? Hit us
up eight seven seven ninety nine on five. Do you
ever see someone get you ever see someone get a
chance and then the chance is taken away because something
happens personally for them before they even get a chance.
Do you remember, I'm guessing you do. Because he was
a Yankee and a Met and an Astro and a

(47:08):
cardinal Little Loto Texas ranger Carlos Beltron. Carlos Belton was
named the manager of the Mets then and then his
ties to the cheating Astros it made him have to
step aside. So he never got a chance to manage
a game in the majors. Yet maybe he will get
that chance at one point. But I think to myself. Like,

(47:29):
that's a guy who was like, this is my dream job.
I love it, and before he started he couldn't even
do it. Eighty seven seven ninety nine, h Fox, Let's
go to Mike in Virginia. Mike, you're all at CNR.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Hey, what's up, guys. One thing I can always think
of in a sports related at football is the first
time the Buffalo Bills went to the Super Bowl, led
by the Jim Kelly and Derman Thomas. That Super Bowl
was literally hand you know, hand wrapped to them. And yeah,
it just went why right? That was it? And then

(48:06):
ever since then they you know, they went all four
for the Super Bowl and now they're just trying to
but that literally was they were the best team in football.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
That was the year. Listen, they played better teams that
You could argue that back to back Dallas Cowboy years
when they lost two in a row to them, Cowboys
were a dynasty better team. You could argue when they
lost to the Redskins better team. But that season against
the Giants, that was a Jeff Hostetler backup quarterback. Bill's
dominated he is supposed to win that game. That that's again,

(48:36):
in fact, the Giants found a way to beat the
Niners in the NFC Championship that year, so the Giants
weren't even designed to be there. So yeah, that is
a Buffalo fumble for sure. I would say nineteen eighty
four NBA Draft, you can't hate on the Rockets choosing
a laja On, but the Blazers with Sam Buie's got

(48:57):
to be in the conversation passing on Michael Jordan. That
has to be a classic example of Oh my goodness that.
I don't think that's the one you ever get over ever, No,
like you have the chance to get Michael Jordan. We
get it, hindsight's twenty twenty. But you had that opportunity.
So Skype, we don't know what you did wrong. But

(49:17):
Zoom took the balls as a as they say, took
the ball and ran with it. Who else we got?
Boise Caleb, you're on with Hey Caleb, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Guys? So Covino he actually took one of mine, But
Portland actually stumbled two more times. They drafted LaRue Martin
over doctor J and then Greg Odin over Kevin Durant
as well.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Wow, yeah that and owed him. He looked like he
was forty five years old. Then hobbling around, I almost
felt like I saw that one coming. Yeah. That was
a shame, man, that was that really was a shame.
The poor guy just had bad knees too, So yeah,
that's bad. Marley in Rochester. It's up, Marley, Marley. I

(50:02):
have some things.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
One on the technological side, I live in Rochester.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
So hey, Kodak, you.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
Know, hey, whatever happened to Kodak?

Speaker 4 (50:11):
Man, it was supposed to be giants in them?

Speaker 1 (50:15):
I do I do wonder with the advent of cameras
on smartphones and now the camera on your phone is
better than any handheld camera you ever had. Do you
think there early on was an opportunity for Kodak to
partner up with an Apple or a Samsung. You think
early on they had to the league leaders. It was
name recognition when it came to I'm sure at some
point there was a there was a collaborac moment. Sure

(50:38):
what I mean? We used it as an adjective. I mean,
pitbull rhymes it twice in the same verse. I was
just gonna say that I looked it up.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
It says Kodak did arguably blow a major innovation chance
by failing to adapt to the digital photography revolution.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
They failed to adapt. That's probably you know, that's the
case for so many people, just in life. Rich We've
seen people in radio refusing to adapt in their career fizzles. Yeah,
Hey remember that kuy who did those great countdowns or whatever. Yeah,
he refused to adapt. So that's why he never heard
of him again. You know who I thought did a
great job adapting. I've said this before, but David Letterman.

(51:17):
Letterman had the wherewithal to say, we live in a
social media world now where late night clips exist the
next day, my snarky interviews and you know, top ten lists.
It's time for me to retire and come back in
a couple of years with a fun interview show like
Letterman read adapt Yeah, Letterman reads it perfectly. I always
give that guy credit for that because he stuck her.

(51:38):
He could have stuck around too long, and he never did.
Eric in Virginia, it's up Eric.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
With the biggest fumbles.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
If I'm not mistaken, I think y'allhoo had the chance
to buy Google for a million dollars at one point.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
I think you are correct in that one as well. Again,
how about Jeeves Jeeves probably had a shot ask everything
that guy.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Here's the thing though, can I just interject this, you
don't have necessarily the direction or the vision if you're
going to buy that company. Sometimes, like the people who
were running the original small company that eventually blows up,
they stay with that company and they make decisions based
on not getting acquired by a bigger company, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
So like maybe you don't.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Maybe Facebook and Meta if it was bought by MySpace
doesn't come up with the like button and like you know,
Messenger and stories and you know, it doesn't necessarily evolve
the way that it did just staying on its own.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
What did Zoom offer that Skype couldn't? You know, I
really think this Skype story is as colossal as Michael Jordan.
It's up there with Blockbuster because I think we have
a new one because Blockbuster is always the one, Like
Blockbuster could have been Netflix, and they blew it. This
Skype opportunity, This was everything they asked for and he
blew it.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Like the infrastructure was already set with Skype to help
out with COVID related.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
What did Zoom offer that Skype didn't? Nothing? Check out?

Speaker 2 (52:59):
What y'all who had to do. In ninety eight, they
passed up the one million dollars they declined. In two
thousand and two they offered three billion dollars, but Google
countered with a five billion dollar request.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
And now it's probably even worth it, you know, a
billion times that.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
I'll give you just a quick one, a fumble recovery
if you will. NFL remember back in the mid nineties,
the NFL is expanding. A lot of people are scratching
their head how Jacksonville ended up getting a team, because
at that point it seemed there were other markets, specifically
Baltimore was a team and Saint Louis at the time.
Now we saw the Rams end up moving to Saint Louis.

(53:35):
Baltimore obviously gets the Ravens. But because those two groups
couldn't get their stuff in order, Jacksonville was ready. There's
no way the NFL puts a team in Jacksonville nowadays,
like it just doesn't.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
There's absolutely no way.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
But because maybe Baltimore and Saint Louis didn't have everything
that they needed, Jacksonville took the opportunity and here they
are thirty years later.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Dude, that really is the moral of everything we're getting
at right now. When opportunity knocks, you have to be
ready to answer. That's really what it comes down to.
Skype was not ready for that opportunity, even though they
had everything or seemed like they had everything lined up.
I have arguably the best example I'll give you next,
and it has to do with sports. I watch a
great documentary and there's it just shows you everything in sports,

(54:18):
in life. It's a matter of opportunity and really seizing
that moment. We'll get to it next. Sinko demaiya, We'll
get to it next, Sinkoma. Come on to try to
hear on Fox Sports Radio. There was one that real
quick twenty seconds. We have a buddy, Danny g. This
is a true story. Our buddy Sean in New York
was pulled into some seminar in the two thousands. He's

(54:42):
the type of guy that listens to street people like
handing out flyers. Was it to sell cut co knives? No, No,
some guys like come in here, let me tell you
all about bitcoin. And our buddy Sean, I asked you not,
was told like, hey, to get started, we'll give you
like fifty bitcoin for like ten bucks, and he was
like uninterested, and he looks back. He remembers clearly just

(55:04):
saying there's so many about it.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
He's going to be telling that story to his grandchildren.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Stock Opportunity. Yeah, they were like, dude, we'll give you
fifty to start for ten bucks and you can help
mine it. He's like, what does mining mean? Like, so
we have a buddy that would have been like one
of those crypto billionaires. True story. Everybody has their own.
So let's get to these callers. This is your chance
to go home a champion on this cinco. To MYO,
all you have to do is do your best greto.

(55:30):
That's it. Now, what's a grito? It's a celebration cry
of it's a party shout. It's a party shout. You
hear it at all the fiestas, and Sam, you won
last year with your legendary grito. That just sounds like
a crazy person. Honestly, I lost my voice from screaming
at the disappointing boxing matches this weekend that I can't

(55:52):
even do one. Rich. I know you could represent pretty good.
You're the fourth of next to uh. Yeah, all you
have to do is that and you can take home
a swiggy for your ice Colt surveys at tonight. All right,
that's our stainless steel water bottle. Let's hear your best one.
Let's do it quick, Let's get the fiesta go. It's

(56:12):
our way of saying, here's a freebie. There you go,
San Diego, Alex here on, what's up Alex? Hey Alex?
Alex had excuses? I think, what's up Alex? He said
he had a sore throat. I'm like, why'd you call that?
Let's go to New York, New York and Greg, what's up, hey, Greg,

Greg, hang on the line. That's our way of just
being generous to hang. Yeah, it's it's a celebration. We're
giving back to you guys. Thank you. Tony and Kansas City.
Kansas City best known for their burn ends, but today
for their grito's. What's up, Bud?

more heart and you get a swig just a little.
It was good. Yeah, I want to hear a little commitment.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
All right.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I'm just picturing this guy, you know, in his car
or whatever, in his driveway doing that. Hell yeah, you win.
What I'm picturing is when these president show up, guys
telling their wives how they want it. I'm sorry, how
did you win?

Speaker 2 (57:36):
This? Win?

Speaker 1 (57:38):
To you ever hear like a gritos it's like a cry,
like in a love song, and it's almost like a yelp.
It's like a heartbreak sort of. I'll take one of those.
Kansas City is a winter hang on, Tony. Hey, go
to Bob in Florida. What's up, Bob? Hey Bob? You
