(00:25):
I wonder if you and like Iowa, Sam or Danny
would have a completely different order. Let's go back to
nineteen eighty two. Et Phone Home Et. Actually, he never
says that. It's a fun fact. Mendel home phone home Pohne.
No one has a home phone anymore. So home phone,

(00:47):
don't got one? Et. I'll be right, he.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
So.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Et. It's such a great movie came out on this
day in nineteen eighty two. If you want to go
to nineteen eighty six Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ooh, Bueler Bueller.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
We talked about that last Thursday, June eleventh, was the date, right,
that was his actual Yeah, that was the release date
of the movie. Yeah, eighty six, eighty five, Yeah, it
was the date same day Rich played Hooky last That's true.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Sexual day off Yeah et nineteen eighty two, Ferris Bueller
nineteen eighty six, nineteen ninety nine on this day, Yeah baby,
do I make you Randy? Is he talking about Randy
Johnson or Randy Quaid? Randy Vallardi? Oh okay, Yeah, it's
a misconception. Everyone thinks, yeah, baby, it's gotta be the

(01:43):
big unit. But now Yankee utility infielder Randy Vallardi number eighteen.
So Austin Powers on this day. So I just think
I just named three movies of our childhood. Yeah, but
so far the clear e T. Ferris Bueller, Austin Powers,
and the fourth movie that came out on this day.
Let's go to the two thousands, four twenty one years ago.

(02:06):
Napoleon Dynamite vote for Pedro.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Make Yourself a Casadilla.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Very good movie. That was a turning point in humor.
By the way, That's when I realized the humor is
changing a lot, because I didn't like the movie at first.
Now I love it. Cult classic, uberly successful considering the
budget it was made on. Napoleon Dynamite voted for Pedro
did all that stuff? The orders was that the last

(02:34):
if you voted or did you vote for bo Bice
on American Idol. I forget both. Yes, the order is simple.
I wonder if we have the same one or it's
completely Where do you want me to start from best
to worst? Let's start worse to first, worst to first?
What are you, Spider Harrison? Are you Casey Kaseer? Coming
in at number four, coming number four based out of

(02:56):
iaho Idaho is Napoleon Dynamite Igrade Number four is Napoleon
does as much as I like it, Yeah, I say
that respectfully. Coming in at number three, Austin Power. Absolutely,
you're on your mind. Let me finish my list. Coming
in number two Ferris Bueller's Day Off and by far

(03:21):
not even close. ET number one. ET is a magical
Mammethian movie of the eighties, as great as Ferris Bueller is,
and it's one of the classics. We discussed that recently.
ET is on another level of cinematic masterpiece that goes
down in history. It's so heart wrenching you can only

(03:43):
watch it here and there. Ferris Bueller's on all the time.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
ET was also kind of creepy though for us when.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
We were a little kid, you know our orders. Some
people were scared of our order is not terribly different.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Because are the scientists. Remember in the big suits the tunnels,
it was a little scary, it was, but it was magical.
There was an Is there a universe? Was there a
universal ride for Ferris Bueller? I see absolutely no. There
was a ride for Et for years, and you're flying
on your bicycle, riding across the moon with ET.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Give me a break. Ferris Bueller is great, but it's
a number two. Here a child known as true Barrymore
Reese's pieces getting their big break because Eminem's was like, nah,
the aliens are scary. So many great stories behind the movie.
I didn't have Ferris Bueller bed sheet. My list is
slightly different. Napoleon Dynamite, it's definitely number four. Yeah, they're
all great, though, so let's be clear on that they're

(04:38):
all good for what they are. I think Ferris Bueller
number three. Okay, you forget that Austin Powers, that was
a big deal. Mike Myers, that's number two. But Et.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
M Phone.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Et is got to be number one, which makes me
want to remind everyone. I've sat down with my kids.
My kids are eight and five. I'm surprised because I
knew you were always a Mac and Me kind of guy.
I love Mac and Me too. I would have put
that number one. I have sat down my kids. We've
watched Goonies together. Yeah, and I'm trying to go through

(05:15):
all the classics. ET's a touchy one because, like Danny
g said, it's it's gonna be a roller coaster of
they're scared, They're gonna cry at the end. The first
scary of my sister Dawn. Yes, Slothed is a little scared.
There's a little scariness of one eyed Willian all that.
My sister Dawn, when she was a little kid, wept,
wept when she saw ET, like Uncontrollable, Like don It's

(05:36):
gonna be all right. It's an emotional movie for a
little kid. So I just want to remind everyone some
of these classics. It's interesting to see what stands attest
the time. My kids really liked Goonies. My wife insisted
that they watch Homeward Bound. They like that too. It's
like Wizard of Oz. It's a little touchy because it's magical,
but it's scary with the Witch for little kids. He's

(05:57):
a time and place. My daughter watched Wizard of Oz
before I took courtesy Wicked. She's eight, which I've always
right down the red edge. That's a good age and
I'm shocked that I haven't even thought to break out ET.
Now you put that number one, so we agree on that. Yeah,
anybody else in order that differs? Or at first I
thought ET and Austin Powers were close because.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
You're out of here, mom, I forget the influence and.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Goofy ass movie. That isn't even number two, but whatever,
So one is a comedy first of all, comedies will
never be in that category. But that doesn't even come
close to ET and the magical feeling it gave to
every little kid in the eighties that wanted to ride
their BMX across the sky Man. We don't have to
fight about it, jee, I' kidding. Does anybody else agree

(06:43):
or disagree?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I think Austin Powers in Napoleon are close at four
and three.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Wow, I'm gonna give the the edge to Napoleon Dynamite though,
because like at home, we quote that movie more often,
and I think it just left more of an impact.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's funny, man. Yeah, Danny g not down with theos
ye No, I mean.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I liked Austin Powers, and then I would go ET,
It's not my baby and Ferris Bueler number one.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Wow, okay, okay, right, I could see that. I mean,
we talked about it last week, how how huge that
movie is. We said it was the number one comedy
drama teen comedy drama of the eighties. So I could
see that. But ET is like upper echelon cinematic masterpiece up.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I also feel that there's this interesting.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Dichotomy, if you will, between ET and what Napoleon Dynamite
is and how they were made, who they were made by,
and everything that came with it. So I think that
that ET is this machine, but part of what made
Napoleon Dynamite Dynamite great was the simplicity of it, and
in that aspect.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, they barely spent any money to make it.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
So so that's that's what I find is interesting in
all of this. I had fair Buler number one. I
would put Napoleon Dynamite two on my list because I
feel I reference it more than I do anything of
Austin Powers.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I see, and I was just too I don't.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
I wasn't too young for ET, I remember, But in
these other three movies would be like Wheelhouse of Teenager
early twenties where.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Rewatches, yeah, Et, you might have seen twice in your life,
not to uh date myself, and I know a shocking
being how young and sprian handsome I look and everything.
But I remember seeing Et in the theater. Yeah eighty Yeah,
I forgot I did so. I was a little eighties kid.
I was like, this is the greatest movie. I was
trying to hold back my bottle tears.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
You were the first to try Reese's pieces.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I had my little red sweatshirt. Man, I wanted to
be like Ellie Well on this day. They all came
out now before before we get to Jameis Winston in
a magical movie. Day before we get to Jameis Winston
and some NFL and some NBA finals. Does each of
those four movies have et phone?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Home phone?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Home? What he says home phone? I think there was
a Mandela effect. I think in the part where he's
in the bedroom with Elia, he says home phone. So
he's cooking convincing. Remember he got twisted to Remember how
drunk you got that guy? Remember when the Flower came
back to life. I remembers a little kid like oh
like crying.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Well, Elliott starts with an E ends with the T
E T. They're they're synced up, Yeah boy, because like
their health is is aligned?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, magical movie. If there is there a obviously we
said E T.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Phone Home?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Are there is there a quote from each of those movies,
Like that's the quote his first feel of life was
pretty fast is I'll be at phone home is what
everybody says. So I'd say probably that from Austin Powers. Yeah, baby, Yes.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
There is a quote from the beginning of E T
where Elliott calls his brother something very offensive and breath Yes,
the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's an insult that will live on forever. I call
Rich that all the time.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
There's so many from Napoleon Dynamite. Yes, if the kids
are complaining there's nothing to eat. My wife will always say,
go make yourself a damn casadilla. If you vote for me,
all of your wildest dreams will come true.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah, Pedro.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
How many times do we say I could throw football
over the mountains?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Good way.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Do you know how many people are just realizing that
Uncle Rico is the dude from the White Lotus? People
haven't put that together, Uncle Rico? Is is it Gary?
Is that who it is? Jerry Gary from the White Lotus?
Is that the character's name? What?

Speaker 4 (10:41):
I don't think that guy's had a lot of roles.
He has the hair in White Lotus?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Right, is exactly he's bald and obviously, honestly in Napoleon
Dynamite he looks like he's wearing a wig there too.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
But yeah, my wing guy, all right? What's the quote
from faris Bueller?

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Then?

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Is it life moves pretty fast? Or is it just
Bueller's a l I think it is Bueller. I think
it's ben Stein, you know what? You know it might
be You're right, because honestly, that one, that's the one
you might call it the most because if someone's not here,
like where's Danny? Would be like Bueller Mueller, like you
would say that till his day?

Speaker 4 (11:13):
All right?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
So, and by the way, I think it's Greig from
the White Lotus? Is Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Well for Pedro originally carrier? Hey, you know what, I
have large talents? That's my favorite quay. Do the chickens
have large talents?

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Maybe we have to watch a magic one of those
magical movies after the NBA Finals game or if okse
he's up twenty five at half times, you can watch
them et tonight with your kids. Yeah, but e T
you gotta bust out the popcorn. Everyone's gotta shut up.
You gotta pay attention. No talking over the movie, no
busting out the phone. You know what I mean. It's

(11:51):
one of those special ones. Now, we ended yesterday's show
with this, so we have to continue today. We got
to talk over promise and by the way, if you
have any thoughts on these movies eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. But we talked about Jameis Winston and
what a colorful guy he is, and how funny he
is and how great he is just as a personality.

(12:14):
The story was that former New Orleans Saints running back
Mark Ingram shared that Jameis Winston once gave a speech
that started with the prayer. So you can imagine that, right,
they're all praying. He's doing his thing, but the prayer
to end here, Yeah, you can totally see him doing that.

(12:36):
The prayer ended with him singing the Monday Night football
theme song. So talk about a roller coaster again of emotions.
He went from Ephesians four thirty two to Faith Hill. Yeah,
are you read it? He went from Corinthians to Hank
Williams Junior, And that's Jameis Winston in a nutshell. Hey,

(12:58):
I'm in a nutshell Austin Powers quote. Hey, loop it
back around, HB done, come back there you go. So now,
based on that, because that sounds kind of odd, There's
been some great speeches in sports history, in TV history,
but we want to go over some of the worst ones,

(13:18):
because how can you take anybody serious when they're doing
this full on prayer into that goofiness which is the
theme song? And again, I get it, Loosen everybody up,
It's fun, it's memorable, it's all those things. But based
on that, some of the worst speeches that come to mind.
Did he do the Monday Night theme in spoken word? Like?
Are you ready for some football? A Monday night party?

(13:41):
We got Frank Alan dan to get a kickstart? Like
did he say it in words? Song? No, it says
oh singing singing. It ended with him singing the Monday
Night football theme song. You can imagine what the other
teammates must have been thinking, like watching this go down,
but this guy is so in his zone, as we've
come to notice in the past few years. So that's

(14:04):
the story of Jameis Winston told by Mark Ingram And
when it comes to by the way, it ties into
your previous discussion Writch about the movies. When you think
about the worst speeches, the one that comes to mind,
I think for most people, and correct me if I'm wrong,
because we open it up to everybody. Eight seven to
seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, I think the worst speech

(14:24):
is from one of my favorite movies. Didn't come out
on this day, but we all saw the wedding singer
Steve Bmi as Cindy Scott and Cindy's wedding. Yeah, when
stevemy does his speech, I think that's everybody's reference to,
like the worst speech ever, because it's sod. My brother

(14:48):
Harold asked me to be the best man at his wedding.
I was like, oh, of course, man, because you've always
been there for me. That's right.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
That's in rehab And at the time I couldn't find.

Speaker 7 (15:04):
My car.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
Because Harold, you know, he's always been the dependable one
and I've always been the screwed up one.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Right, Dad, Why can't you be more like your brother
Harold would never beat up his landlord. But uh, a
little newsflash, Pop, Harold ain't so perfect.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Remember a time in Puerto Rico when we picked up.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Those two.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, I guess they were prostitutes, but I don't remember paying.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Okay, I'm not that. I'm a person too, Pop, I'm
a person too.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
You're a more.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Okay, the best man, everybody best man.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
The better man, and he like stumbles off the stage,
like the way he falls is so great, like Steve
BUSHMI own that worst best man speech ever. I think
that's a lot of our generations go to when you
have the thought of worst speeches ever. It could be
in your personal life. It could be from a movie.

(16:19):
It could be something you saw at a sporting event,
could have been in a huddle you were in. Bro,
did you see that clip from like a month ago
on social media where the dudes at his anniversary party
but he knows his wife was cheating on him. It
was his fortieth birthday. It was his fortieth birthday. Yeah,
it was the fireman from New Jersey. If I'm not mistaken.
He was from. Was it Bayone or Belleville or Bloomfield?

(16:41):
I forget where he was from. But yeah, he's celebrating
his fortieth and everyone at first thinks he's goofing around.
He's like, yeah, I know, I know, because you're a
huo and he goes off saying like I know you
did this, I know you did that, and he did
goes off on the wife and everyone's like, oh my god,
is this for real? And he used that opportunity when viral. Yes,

(17:02):
it broke the internet, as they say, Jersey fireman, and
it was an absolutely true story. When things like that happen,
your first thought is this is stage, this is fake,
this is for the clicks for the gram. But this
was a real one. Look I'm from Jersey. And it
got around where everyone's like, yeah, I know that dude,
and yeah, it's real And this is what happened, absolutely
real story. If you haven't seen it, it's the most

(17:23):
awkward thing you've ever seen because everyone's there to celebrate
the guy and he pulls a bouchemy and like, yeah, yeah,
thank you everybody for coming out to my in laws.
I love you guys and everybody. Can you believe we're
all here? And by the way, I know, no, you
know what he does? He has her like there, and
he gets down and he takes her ring off and

(17:43):
says he has a new one for her. But he
does yeah, and he takes it and he's like, yeah,
I know what you did, and this and that and
calls her out real awkward man. Yeah, that has to
be down in the history books. I will say this,
the key to speeches while we take your feedback, I
think is not to make it about yourself at all.
I know it was a movie, but before he even

(18:04):
went off, what makes the Steve bouschemything funny and relatable
is that we've all been somewhere where someone does a
speech and somehow they start making it about them all
the time. Every time. I always find it odd with
awkward part of what even when a bride'smaid's like I
remember when me and j Etica we're in second grade,
we were at my house or a slumber part. It's like,
no one cares about you or your summer party. We're

(18:26):
here for her wedding. To that dude wish them well
toasted and called a day. Let me please express this.
I don't think I've ever said this on Fox Sports Radio.
People who know me and have grown with the show
on Patreon know this, but that's why I got married
in Vaguus and Elves was there. The whole formality of
the speeches and first dances, and I get it special

(18:47):
on all that, but it's so awkward to me. It
makes my stomach turn. So I wanted to avoid all
of that. So you thought having Elves Marriy you was back.
I just wanted to get it out of the way, dude.
I didn't want to deal with any of that stuff
because it's so awkward. Ibout some speeches from coaches to
bring it back to sports. This made me think of
like five six years ago on Hard Knocks. Remember John

(19:09):
Gruden when he was going off in front of the
team at practice, saying, everybody's got a dream of making
it in the NFL, or I got a dream of
winning the Super Bowl, or I got a dream of
being in the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
But I'm not really into dreams anymore. I'm into ef nightmares.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
He said, you got it, and you got to someone's dream,
You got to take their job, you got to take
their heart.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Yeah, that took a turn.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
That was a hell of a cool speech. I remember that,
and was it You don't think it was cool?

Speaker 4 (19:34):
It was a little awkward. Hey, it took weird turns.
I'll just say that.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, Cruden's back in a big way. People forgave him.
Do you remember that story from a few years ago
when Marshawn Lynch got in trouble for cursing at little
kids in his speech, like and they didn't like his
coaching style, Like do you remember that? Yeah, And the
parents had an issue with it, and we're like, we
talked about it, Richin, We're like, it's football, it different
sort of setting. But the parents were real offended with

(19:59):
how he he was addressing the kids in those speeches
and huddles because he was cursing at them, and that
became an issue and a little awkward.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
I imagine, all right, well, hey.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Your thoughts on jamis the worst speeches anything you want
to bring up? And you know, it sort of ties
together with something baseball legend Adam Wainwright says that he
brings up every time he talks to kids when he coaches,
and it's on his own kids and it has to
do with what he emphasizes. He said, Hey, this is

(20:30):
what he'll say for kids. I have three rules, and
I'll give the kids a little speech, be a great teammate,
have fun out there and play your hardest, weirdest, weakest
speeches of all time. I'llah Jameis Winston's story. I agree
with you. By the way, the most memorable bad speech
is from the movie The Wedding singer Steve Blucemi. It's

(20:52):
the number one answer on the board, at least for
our generation. How many times do you jokingly say the
better man? Yeah, that one is quoted all the time.
But Dan Bayer during the break checked out Nick Galante.
He was a Belleville firefighter who basically called his wife
out for being a cheating, no good for nothing in

(21:12):
front of everybody, and that went viral recently. Really awkward
speech that he made. But it made me think of
some other stuff too, before we move on what you
got recently. In the fight game, you always see some
weird things happen because people are a little punch drunk.
Anthony Joshua when he lost a fight a few fights back,
he got on the mic and started saying some crazy stuff.

(21:34):
It was like someone grabbed the mic from this guy.
That's why announcers and interviewers never want to give up
their microphone, because you never know what these guys are
gonna do with it. This guy made an ask himself
in front of everybody, if you want to laugh, U
boxer Anthony Joshua, he's on the list. Yeah, you know what,
I would have put on the list because people have
isolated these because they're just so ridiculous. Have you ever

(21:55):
really listened to some old school wrestling promo speeches from
back of the day. Oh yeah, some of them are great,
Like the Ultimate Warrior. It was just gibberish.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
He's just gibberish. Warrior.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
He's saying nothing, But dude, Anthony Joshua did that in
real life. And speaking of boxing, you can't forget when
Tommy Gunn was doing his speech and he thanked George
Washington Duke instead of Rocky Malbou. That was really awkward.
It hurts my heart that it was an awkward moment.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
Guy.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
So I'd like to thank one man who helped get
me here. Rocky's about to stand up. You know he's
toking about me, absolutely, mister George Washington Duke. Ohan, It's okay,
it's okay, So share your stories and your thoughts awkward speeches.
Maybe it was at your wedding. Every wedding I go
to every one. Those speeches are awkward as hell. I

(22:49):
mean the groom usually nails it with the best man's speech.
It's a lot of times to me, now I sound sexist.
It's usually the maid of honor who goes on and
on with like notes about oh, come on, like you're
not thinking the same man, Ladies, I want you all
to know that's Rich Davis. Everybody night, moving along, gus
it loves got those California that is the cats. Everybody,

(23:12):
what's up? Man? Hey, hey guys, Hey, guys, love the show,
and I agree with you. That's usually the time to
run to the bar when the maid of honors up.
But so.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Both of you are sexist.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
My dad, believe it or not, shout out to Father's Day.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
He used to say the.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Same thing to me.

Speaker 8 (23:31):
Play hard, have fun.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
But the last thing he would say was win.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
And I'm wondering if parents even broach that subject with
their kids anymore, if winning even matters. But it's interesting
you would say that because Rich Davis winning is coach
uh in president sports history, Rich.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Davis Women of three twenty five.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's true. No, I you know, I talked about it
quite a bit because it's a big part of my life.
Now I coach my daughter softball, but right now I'm
coaching my sons. Five you let me repeat that, five
you all stars. I don't know how they even make
a kid that's five in All Stars. It seems like
the kids that were just interested, they wanted to keep
playing for another month. We have our first tournament this week,

(24:16):
and it's the first time these kids are gonna play
where a score is kept. So frankly, if you guys
have any advice, I would love to hear it, because
I keep telling them, Hey, we're here to have fun,
We're here to learn the game. I love baseball. I
want you to love baseball the way coach does. We're
gonna have fun. We're gonna play harder than the other team.
We're gonna hustle, We're gonna make friends, and this is

(24:39):
gonna be one of the best times of your life.
But I have not talked about winning because I don't
I don't know. I mean, the other team's gonna try
to win. But I've talked to the other coaches. Hey, kids,
you want to be a winner, you want to be
a wiener, and see what they say. It's a good one. Yeah,
that's how it would start. Yeah, I want to be
a winner. I have said to the other because we're
not weenies. I have said to the parents, every kid's

(25:00):
gonna play. No one's gonna sit or anything like that.
They're five. But I have said to the parents, I mean,
you put money and time into this. The other team's
gonna try to win, So we're gonna try to win too.
I know winning isn't everything at five, but we are
also going to try to win, plant the seed and
set the foundation. And I said, you know why, I

(25:20):
guess if they win, they're gonna feel good about themselves.
We went from worse speeches to actually great, motivational, actually
simple teachings, but meaningful teachings of Adam waen Wright. He
says for the kids, I have three rules. One be
a great teammate, Two have fun, and three play your hardest.

(25:41):
Those are my three rules. Every time we get out
of the car and they save them back to me,
and I think it's a great way to play the game.
So those are his three rules. Adam weien Wright couldn't
agree more famous MLB cardinal be a good teammate, you're right,
try hard. And you know, I believe it was Derek
Jeter who always talked about no one will out hustle him. Right,

(26:06):
it's hard to beat someone that never quits sexually, Babe Ruth.
But what a Cheeter had another one too, like no one.
Maybe I'm giving Jeter Babe credit. Babe Ruth said hot
dogs are great. See he said I have another hot dog? Yeah,
And he also said hard to beat somebody I never
give us up right, I'm sure Jeter has some motivational.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Never let the fear of striking out keep you from
playing the game, as Babe Ruth.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Oh, there you go, see, Babe Ruth. You ever watch
a babe documentary? Cavino and I watched one where all
the players that played with Babe that were somehow still alive.
This documentary might have been twenty years ago. They all
respected and loved the babe so much no matter what
he did, that they oversaw all the things he did.
It was like, yeah, the Babe slip of my wife,
but that's the Babe. Would you believe the babe kick

(26:52):
me in the wave of kick me in the balls
and then took my gal Oh man, the Babe he
was a hell.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Of a guy. I learned a lesson that day, last
of my life.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
The absolute opposite of Nikolante. Yeah, one hundred for opposite.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yes, all right now, I want to bring up one
thing that ben. We're gonna get to Dan Buyer's update,
but let me just throw this out there. I have
a story about Roman Anthony. He is the young stud
prospect on the Boston Red Sox. There's a wild stat
about him. And also is that a character on Spartacus
Roman Anthony thoughts about him and not just about him.

(27:29):
We'll get to this next. Let's say hi to Dan
Buyer for an update. D Babe, boy, what.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
An amazing five minutes it's been for Danny g. Okay,
Tiascar Hernandez just hit a three run home run for
the Dodgers. They leave the Padres for one of the
sixth and the Raiders who have signed free agent linebacker
Jermaine Pratt, who's just like you all the Cincinnati Bengals. Yes,
so yeah, maybe by the end of the update the Lakers.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Will do something.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Why Danny G was thrusting in the other studio.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Mix, so this is that will get back to the
NFL and baseball at a second, But we start with
the NBA Game three of the Finals tonight, thunders and basers,
eight thirty Eastern time.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, Rich, I'll turn it over to you because now
it is time for our tire rack play of the day,

(28:52):
second first pitch. McNeil lin drive base hit, So extra
innings lasted one pitch I saw, and your boy Soto
hit another opposite feel blast. He's heat in right now,
and that's your tyract play of the day. I'm Covino
Dad is Rich Danny g Sam Bayer spot is getting
ready for midweek major and we have one call now. Yeah,
to wrap up this Adam Wainwright best speech sort of

(29:14):
thing about the kids. By the way, you mentioned my
dude Sodo. No what he did last night for the
first time as a met not the Soto self smile.
I don't know, but there's videos of him smiling where
it's funny how people trying to paint this picture that
he hates the Mets. Wan Soto for the first time
last night. Did the cool thing he did last year
is a yankee where he sees a pitch that he
gets beat on. He looks at the picture and goes, okay,

(29:37):
and the next pitch hit a bomb.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Could you do that? He said?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay, guys want he said, okay, I'm just kidding, Guya.
I don't like him anywhere. Man, Is this the real
mcgiver or is this mcgruber.

Speaker 8 (29:53):
Let's hey, hey, hey, that's my nickname. It rhymes with
my first name. But anyway, I love Adam Wainwright. Great
advice for coach. When I was in high school football
in practice, quarterback through an interception and had his helmet on.
Thank God. But the coach got so mad he head
butted him and broke his own nose. So don't be
that guy.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, have fun. I do wonder at what level do
you start emphasizing winning. And that's a conversation we've had before,
and I think it's up for debate. I remember, winning
is fun. It's part of the fun. Listen, that's what
I said to losing. That's what I said to the parents.
I go, listen, Winning's not everything. They're so little, but
I promise you this, if they win, they'll be really

(30:32):
fired up.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Remember Billy Bob and Friday Night Light. His big speech
was about excelling. He put the emphasis on that rather
than winning.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, winning, Maybe I just play some Charlie Sheen clips
with the kids winning winning, Yeah, why don't you tell
them about the Tigers. But yeah, there you go. I
want to bring up Roman Anthony young Studs, your favorite
new rookie. I'm a big fan of this Royals kid
that everyone's talking. It's funny. Kagliani funny. Our video guy

(31:02):
spot loves how. For some reason, in baseball it's appropriate
to call young player studs, young study. I don't know
why it is. This kid Jack kag young stud Yeah,
young studdy young studd Well. But there was a lot
of coverage on his kid from Boston for sure, and
Anthony there was a couple of funny stories. Number One,
people have to point out when he was born, the

(31:25):
Red Sox lineup was all the people you Jason Verattak,
Kevin Hoppy Man. It was like he was born. It
was that era. Yeah, so you're like, wait, he was
born in a time that I feel like was yesterday.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I hate were you born yesterday? It seems like it.
In his first game, he makes an error, he lets
the he plays a grandble to the outfield on his
to the cyber the The whole team was pumped about
him being there. They gave him a standing ovation and
his debut. But while everyone is talking about this kid,
you know who stole a lit his spotlight, Leah Anthony,

(32:04):
his hot sister. And I gotta ask if you, oh yeah,
if you have a good looking sibling, would you laugh
about this? Be mad about it? Be happy about it?
Like if you're a hot sister, take some of the thunder.
Do you care or not. I'm gonna be on a
new show premiering this weekend. So set the dvr. I'm

(32:26):
gonna be on les. You're selling your old domatically mustache clubics.
I'm selling. I'm finally selling. I have an appointment with
Chum Lee and Rick and all the mustache hair experts
that are gonna Oh, I'm sorry, you're Derek gear stirrups.
You're beyond pond stars. No, I'm gonna be on a
new show, a brand new series on the History Channel

(32:47):
called Hazardous History, hosted by the one and only A
let me tell you something cunning, am Hi, Henry Winkler,
the Fonds, and your boy Covino is one of the
main contributors. I'll be on the first episode, and I'll
be on some episodes more than others throughout the season.
So I saw the trailer for this Hazardous History, like

(33:09):
how people used to smoke on airplanes and play with
blonde darts and my, yes, yeah exactly. People used to
use asbestos as fake snow er on the holidays all
the time. Nic Hazardous History. Set the dvr ten ninth
Central this Sunday on the History Channel. What do you
feel about all that? By the way, everything everything, I

(33:29):
look at you and I figure your music knowledge and
Yankee knowledge and that's it. It's funny you say that
because I look at you and I realized I don't
talk about any of those things because you know nothing
about it. That's how I feel about it. I feel
like I'm wasting my breath and they're talking about anything
other than I get it sports with Rich. You don't
want to waste your intellect on me? Yeah, because you
never you look at me crossied like you don't know
what I'm talking about. So that's Rich Davis. Oh, I'm

(33:51):
Coffedo star of Hazardous History with Henry Winkler, and it's
my fourth series, fourth different series I've been a part of.
So look out for me and my favorite place to
be is right here on Fox Sports Radio with you guys,
and we're getting ready for midweek major and Mike's Wednesday
words of Wisdom. By the way, any final thoughts on

(34:14):
Roman Anthony's good looking sister. Do you think it's distracting
fun to the fale, fun for the family. Her Instagram
tally has doubled, like is there more than doubled? Is
there something there or no? Or do you think the
family gets a kick out of it? Or like, oh
your sister thinks he's a big leaguer, so it's not
like he suffers from this at all. It's like the
weenie in high school has the hot sister, because he's

(34:36):
always the weenie with the hot sister. This kid's in
the big leagues. It doesn't really matter. It's just you know,
they're a blessed family at this point. It's like, well,
the big leaguer kid and they have a hot daughter.
The NFL. It's like at the NFL Draft wind there's
always like a hot mom or hot sister that just
happens to be cheering on. It's like, wait a minute, pause,
who's that? Roman Anthony also smacked the double yesterday, drove

(35:01):
in and run and his mom was there all teary eyed,
and it was a nice moment. So we're seeing some
young superstars called up really early. These are really young kids.
Between that kid from Kansas City, like I said, Jack
Gagleonzel Clark for three weeks, this Roman Anthony kidds. Baseball's

(35:22):
having a moment. Superstars, the young kids. We're going to
get back to the stage where you can name a
few players on each team and I call it the
old starting lineup days where when you were a kid
in the eighties or nineties, you can name a team
and you knew the star players. There was a minute
in baseball where we're like, I don't really know many guys.
That's true, man, and I love every second of it.

(35:44):
By the way, side story to piggyback, what Rich is
saying is, as we see low ratings in the NBA finals,
I imagine, right, even though it's been a great battle
so far, I'm not knocking the NBA, but MLB's ratings
are really skyrock which is crazy because they're losing that
deal with ESPN. So we're seeing the MLB ratings really

(36:06):
going through the roof with all these young superstars. Baseball's
on the rise, NBA on the downslide. Some people say, hey,
small markets in the playoffs. Your boy Klay Travis said,
it's the woke nature of the NBA.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Did you see that, Danny, Yeah, it's probably a better
possibility that it's two small market teams. But we'll see
what happens in Indiana tonight. I think the Pacers are
going to show up. That's going to turn into a
long series.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
I think I think it's the fact that the fact
that it's at Indiana is a great setting for game
three being that it's one one, because if it was
two oh and so, I don't know, then they're they
need it, but they could split in Indiana and sure.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
I also think this that it's not necessarily this small
market for the Median you know aspect of it. But
it also just tells you on how much the superstars
matter and may tell you a little bit about Sga
on if he is that guy that will transcend. I
know that there's been a lot of talk lately about it,
and I feel that it's kind of been fake because
there hasn't been a lot to talk about. But I

(37:04):
think this tells you a little bit where if it
was Cleveland with Lebron, we're obviously watching because it's Lebron.
For that aspect, the schedule hasn't helped either, just a
lot of time between games.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
But I agree with everything you just said, Dan, and
I agree with other people that have said, you know,
you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth.
You can't say we don't want these super teams and
these major market teams. Rich is a real leaner. Maybe
you can't talk out of both sides your real but
you can't say we don't want these super mega teams
with stars in big markets. And then when you get

(37:37):
the two homegrown small market teams that aren't paying a
luxury tax, you're like, these teams.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
Do yeah, I agree with you on percent, Like what
do you want?

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Do you know who? They're giving a lot of the
credit in the MLB two besides all the obvious young
superstars we mentioned no credit. It starts with superstars. It
really starts with well, who is the draw and it's
show Heretani worldwide superstar in Aaron Judge, who is a
guy that moves the needle?

Speaker 4 (38:06):
Show Hey Otani, dude, When he.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Gets his last a bat in at a game, the
stadium clears because they're all there to see that guy.
And it's happening in every stadium. It's like like it
starts rainy or something. Everybody gets up out of the
sear Aaron Judging is less at bat or I'm gonna
go beat the traffic. They don't leave all right. Because
of the popularity they've created, all these other young superstars
are getting that extra shine, so baseball is capitalized.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
I feel like it was.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
About a decade, maybe eight years since I last just
went to a regular season baseball game with the Dodgers
a few months ago, and when Otani came up, I
had my phone up in all four of his at bats,
you know, so the same thing you're saying with Judge,
like the same thing with Otani.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
I was the same in the same field.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Just to say you saw it right, Yeah, it too
like my phone, I got two people at bat. Then
I snapped the photo off Aaron Judge in Shohi Otani.
I was at the Mets Dodgers game, and no joke,
I did Soto and Otani and then's the Lindors of
the world. So I mean not to sleep on the
other superstars.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
And it feels like the Pacers need Halliburton to have
another big clutch moment tonight to show some star power.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Well, yeah, what we're seeing in the NBA is the
I guess, the beginning or the start of what could
be could be superstars in the future. So hey, I'm
excited about games like when I play Rex softball, when
I'm doing my last at bat like the eight people. Yeah,
I got it. Hey, let me ask you this before
we get to my Chords of Wisdom, which will be quick.
I do want to ask, I was, Sam, you're a

(39:35):
huge Kaitlyn Clark fan, and she's been on the IL
which has really done damage to the w NBA ratings
and ticket prices, viewership. Take the prices like it was
like hundreds of dollars in no you could get it.
I think they pay you to go to the games. Now,
yes that's true, I'm not true, but I think it's
like three bucks. You could get a cup of coffee,
you could caramel machiato, costs more. You get a bubblehead.
Is Kaitlyn Clark still a bigger start in that state?

(40:01):
If the Pacers win the NBA finals, Man Haliburton a
bigger star than Caitlin Clark. If the Pacers fine, they
wan to win. He's done some incredible things. Man, I
don't know. It's a tough one. I would say no,
only because she's someone responsible for bringing an attention attention
to an entire league.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
I think in that if you're just keeping it in
the state of Indiana, though, everyone's minds are going to
be on the Pacers and on Halliburton and Siakam and
all their great players. And I think in the moment
for at least the summer, because there's seasons just getting started.
So I think it'll be a hot summer.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Is that we've.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Hot sakam summer.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
That's so stupid. Enjoy your NBA Finals tonight, and uh,
get will better Caitlin Clark for the sake of a
whole league that is depending on you. It seems to
be uh, but let's do it. Mike's words of wisdom
we do this every Wednesday. Big Mike WHU runs this place.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Listen closely.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
He shares his words of wisdom. You repeat them verbatim,
word for word, and you win a Caveno on Rich
Swiggy eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Listen and
call now.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Oh it's time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mic does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
Patience is what you have when there are too many witnesses.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
That's so easy. And I'm trying to figure out what
it might not get. I'm trying to figure out what
it means. I know what it means, like, when you're
by yourself and no one's around, you have a short few. Yes,
when there's a lot of people around, you don't embarrass
yourself having short fews. Rich was born with a short fuse,

(42:01):
so let's be fair.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
That was a good one, Davis. Yeah, Davis, Yeah, all right,
so we're inch worm Davis. You had was inchterim Davis
was a good one.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
CNR.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
We're not even gonna need the five contestants, right because
I'm sure the first contestant is going to get this.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, whoever the lucky duck is, it calls in first
and repeats Mike's words of wisdom verbatim, you'll get a
free cavino and Rich swigging while we wait for that.
Let me remind everyone one more time. A week from Friday,
the twentieth of June. Oh boy, we're going to be
having so much fun. Pull side live broadcast at Stadium
Swim at Circa that a Friday night party at the

(42:45):
rooftop Lounge. Yeah, I'm excited about that Saturday Atomic golf
with a brunch. Hold on, it's a whole fireworks spectacular
that Friday night from the rooftop would you hire the
Groucie Brothers. Yeah, and I think Robin Thicke is actually
performing outside that night, So a big party night in
Vegas at Circa. So we're bringing that party to you
on Fox Sports Radio if you can't make it, but

(43:07):
we'd love to see you out there. All right, let's
go to the first guy through. Yeah, it should be
easy online one with John and Idaho Falls. John, do
you think you know Mike's words of wisdom? I do?

Speaker 3 (43:20):
All right, hold on, wait for your music. That's going
to make you sound very smart.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
Patience is what you have when there are too many witnesses.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
That's a winner. That's a winner.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Oh, I finally get them. Like, if you lose your cool,
you'll be you'll kill everyone.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Okay, I easy, easy, John, We're gonna mail a swiggy
out there in Idaho Falls.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
All right.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
That's interesting from Mike because as you get older, you
have no patience. My dad goes to get a haircut
and if there's two people sitting there ahead of them,
he's like, ah, I got I'm leaving two people. Yeah,
I'm serious. My dad will come back and he's got like,
you know, the hair's all grown out, like Ben Franklin
on the sides like that, you're gonna get a haircut. Yeah,
it would do many people today, But then it.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Goes in reverse once you have another little kid, Cove.
I hope you join Rich and I with you know,
another toddler in your life.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Yeah, I hope so too. Just her perspective. I can't
wait for communal change diapers again one day. Uh care.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Coe's new thing. He loves markers and colored markers. He's
been coloring with He's lefty and right, so he's got
a colored marker in both hands, and this morning he
was coloring his tongue.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
I think we're gonna say the couch because my kid
has colored our couch. So that's why they make them
non toxic. Frankly, man, you know it's funny you speak
about patience. I shouldn't have given him my black marker
from patients. He or she who masters patience could master anything.
And you're you're right about how you got better quote
than Mike. We go through stages of patients, and you
could talk about this. Honestly, you could tie anything into

(44:52):
sports because a fan base if you can master the
patience of a rebuild and what it takes to win.
You gotta trust the process as Yeah, some times trusting
the process doesn't work. But patience is very difficult in sports,
in marriages, with your kids, and your job.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
Patience is a lost virtue these days, no one has patience,
especially when with people you don't know you have.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
People have like no patience.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
It's time. It's a prime now society. We want everything
next day, if not the same day. We want everything
on demand. We want a haircut now like we want
everything now, and as you get older, it's even more
of that. I get aggravated the other day the Starbucks
mobile app was down and I'm like, you expect me
to go in order and wait five minutes for my coffee?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
How many times have you changed the brand on your
Amazon order because you see that the one you're looking
at it's not going to come till Saturday. You're like, Saturday,
I want it tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Spot was ordering some of the stuff for our our
convention in Vegas, and you're right if it doesn't, if
it's not here tomorrow, You're like, this can't. So patient
is next is what you have? When there are too
many witnesses.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Patience is what you have when there are too many witnesses.

Speaker 6 (46:01):
Oh interesting, all right, let's make it to like declaration
right now. Mike needs to make these harder and longer. Yes, agreed,
But I will say one thing about patients. Oh when
it comes to patient.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
But Intuator Davis know about that.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
You would say, how your dad wouldn't wait at the
barber shop. My dad doesn't we anywhere like you would
think he would just chop it up talking about the
Yankees or a fight or something. If the barber chairs
that riding, dad can have a physical ailment. And if
there's people in the waiting room at the doctor, like, Dad,
why didn't you stay? Too many people wait whom I
got time for that? If it's my time, if it's

(46:35):
time to go, it's time to go.

Speaker 6 (46:37):
Is that why elderly people run through stop signs because
they're just like, I'm not stopping.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Time is taking away now, dude.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
They're saying, my mother in law, if we try to
go out for breakfast, if there's like if we go
to ihop and they're like, there'll be a party of eight,
you know, I cause some grandparents, kids, everyone, man. That
will give us like twenty minutes huh, unacceptable, And then
you drive twenty.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
Minutes, wait, waste thirty minutes, spot.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Twenty minutes and you go you're on like spotting number
four and you're like, hey, Cindy, we would have been
sitting just walked around lightesol, but like sprained a lot
to the point where I just breathed in and I
was like, I'm like, I'm sitting far in the corner.
And they blamed me for it, like it could reach
them from here. I don't know. Well, anyway, thank you
guys for hanging out with us stuck in a studio,

(47:27):
you stank ass and Rich. If you think we stink,
you're right, jeez. Always happy to be hanging with you guys.
Now we have more to get to wasted talent. Yeah, life,
and in sports, there's one poster boy when you think
about it, in the world of sports, who is now
the biggest face when it comes to wasted talent. But

(47:50):
right now it's time for Midweek Major.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
week where mid Week Major. I love that we throw
sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas
and it's like the kids say, that's so we definitely major.
See it our scoring midweek major.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Oh that was for Game three of the NBA Finals,
Getting ready and a spot.

I feel like we have too much time for you today.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Yeah, I don't want it.

Speaker 7 (48:32):
I don't we do these two so much going on?
You know what, you know how you you take take
the time away from me. I'm just gonna not use
it all today.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
I feel like we could just roll those two big
red love dice over there very casually.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Let's do it man protesting, let's go five man. That's weak.
That is weak.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
I'm walking away from that table three. Perhaps that means
Covino gets first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the
most famous person besides Study Bloom from Scotch plains New
Jersey spotty boy.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Hi boys, let's speak really slow to use all my time.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
So former head coach Tom Tibodoo has finally smoken out
for the first time since his firing, and through a
full page ad in the New York Times. So Thibodeau,
who was fired on June third, thanked the New York
fans by saying, to the best city in the world,
with the best fans in the world, thank you. Went
on to say how grateful he was for the opportunity,

(49:33):
thank the players, in the coaching staff, and then ultimatelyn
and thank the fans for believing in him and supporting
him from day one.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Fans took to social.

Speaker 7 (49:41):
Media posted the full page add on social saying that
it was a very classy move and really appreciate it.
No as you know, no word yet as the worries
head of but midweek or major. I think it's major
because it sucks to lose your gig. But when you
see that everybody.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Around your colleagues, your players, and your friends and family, everyone,
the fans all reach out to say, yo, this, this
is messed up, This doesn't seem right. It makes it
a little bit better. No, I think so a bit.
And the fact that he had this sort of send off,
I think it's it's major. It's a big story. You know.

(50:19):
What really shocks me that this was eight days ago
that it happened. It feels like forever right the sports ever, Seriously,
the world, the sports moved so fast, there's always a
news story every day that that seems like it was
at least a month ago. But he got fired in
twenty twenty two. Seriously, so I'm gonna go mid and major.

Speaker 8 (50:37):
That's so mad.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Yeah, every major.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
So I'll tell you, we'll tell you what mid in that.
So many people take out full page ads when they
leave a city. What's major about it is it's usually
a free agent that leaves the city on their own accord,
and they're trying to just make nice by being like, yo,
what to thank Philadelphia for all the time? Maybe he
got an outcry of love, like a little bit of
vindication was the word I was looking for. But I'm saying,
with everyone being surprised by his departure and his firing,

(51:03):
he's leaving with Grace and Clay, and you know what,
everyone's back. Everyone will look back at the Thibodeau tenure
as a Knick's head coach and say, you know, it
was a good chapter, and they're always gonna think it
may have been cut short. So I think there's a
classy move and if anything, he's making himself look better.
Major ad minutes. Well, he said, wow, I think that's

(51:25):
the first multiple. Yeah, because it's the major about it,
and there's up the minut about.

Speaker 7 (51:30):
I'll take it all right, Well you mentioned it earlier
and I'm just gonna go with it anyway. Bill's QB
Josh Allen, is gushing over his new wife, Haley Steinfeldt.
So during press this week, Alan was asked about how
some of the milestones over the last few months affected him,
including winning NFL MVP his three hundred and thirty million
dollar contract extension. He said, quote, They've all been big,

(51:51):
but none other than marrying my best friend. She makes
everything easier. I don't really focus on other stuff. That
was the most important decision I'll make in my life,
and I aid the right one. As you know, they
tied the knot on May thirty first, I believe in
California in a special secret ceremony with several teammates and attendance,
and of course I don't know if you saw that
Larry David in attendance.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
So some fun people at their reading. Good week pretty
because that dude parties. You should. He should go to
every wedding. I'll look up Craig Olson at a wedding
if you never was. McCaffrey's had a tie around his head.
This guy parties. It's major. It's a bit eye rolling

(52:32):
because who's having a better year than that? Guys My goodness.
But hey, I'm not hating. I'm just stating. I'll applaud him.
That's that's incredible. And he's saying and doing all the
right things. There's no doubt about it. That's like the
nicest thing he could possibly say about the woman he
just married. So I think that's great. I think it's major,
definitely major spot. Can you give me the quote one

(52:53):
more time that she makes everything easy and better?

Speaker 7 (52:54):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (52:56):
She said, he said she makes everything easier. I don't really,
folks on other stuff. That was the most important decision
I'll make in my life, and I made the right one.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Choosing the right spouse is crucial to general happiness, general happiness.
I love this because the opposite is the equally terrible.
Marry the right person, good, good job, marry the wrong person.
You see this clip of Alec Baldwin marry the wrong
person in Vegas? Man, Oh, sorry, you're the one that
brought it up.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
You see that clip of Alec Baldwin from maybe like
a month ago where he's on a red carpet and
what's his wife? Hilaria? Yeah, cuts him off, puts her
hand in his face, and you see the look on
his face.

Speaker 8 (53:36):
Like I hate her.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
It. Marrying the wrong person that makes your life more
difficult will bring you down. Has Jo all seen sinners yet?

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Though?

Speaker 1 (53:45):
I mean, let me tell you, good for Josh Allen.
He's just a Lombardi Trophy shy of hitting all the
goals in life.

Speaker 4 (53:51):
Now?

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Can she make it easier for the Bills to win
a Super Bowl? I mean, happy, happy life at home?
Sam makes him going to work easier. I remember when
I was dating someone that was a pain in my ass.
I would shove grumpy to work and it was the
same guy. True story, good good, Oh you did next story?
All right?

Speaker 7 (54:12):
Angel Reese, your favorite, has been named Sportswoman of the
Year at the B and T Awards for the third
straight year in a row, beating out some serious hold
on beating out I'll get there, beating out Simode Files,
Cocoa Golf and several fellow NBA players, and given Reese's
lackluster performance of late, left fans scratching their heads.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (54:30):
Well, Reese is one of only three women to win
the award more than once. And check out her company.
The other company the other two Serena Williams, who won
it sixteen times and Naomi Asaka, who won it twice.
Fans were upset because Goff just won the French Open
dominated there and Biles, of course, gold medal winner is dominated.
And then fellow nominee boxer Clarissa Shields even spoke out saying,

(54:54):
still don't know how I didn't win Sportswomen of the Year.
Congrats to Angel Reese. I just thought Accolades mattered. So
for comparison. By the way, the man the Sportsman of
the Year, Jalen Hurts, so mid week or major.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Week, week week all around. I mean nothing against the
b ET Awards. I saw a lot of the highlights
of som Riah Carrie won her first for her iconicness.
I mean she's an icony. Yeah, she's an icon. But
Angel Reese three years in a row, Simone Biles Olympic gold.
I know she was in some controversy. I mean yeah right,
she was a little spoken about the transgender stuff that

(55:32):
she got in some hot water and Coco Goff just won.
So how is she not the person I don't get ridiculous. Yeah,
it's it's really weird. This is major because people keep
putting this woman on a pedestal that she doesn't deserve.
She's a great athlete, but you talk about the best,
that would be like me saying, you know the greatest
fighters all Lei, Fraser, Tyson Fury, you know, Lennox, Lewis

(55:54):
and Glass.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Joe Like.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
She doesn't fit. Remember Sesame Street won these things. Is
not like the other The others are accomplished class show.
They called her the Joe of that of the other nominees.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
I guess right.

Speaker 6 (56:09):
I would get it after she won the national championship
with LSU. I'd even get it after maybe last year
where she was really good double doubles, you know all that,
but three years ago I don't get that.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Well, I'm guessing the thinking is that often she may
appear to be overlooked I when it comes to Caitlin
Clark and the love that she gets. So this is
their way of giving back to her. But she's won
it twice already. I disagree with it. But who the
heck am? I?

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Who cares what I think? I will say this though,
I do love following these guys on social media. I
showed spot they bet a prop bet every day for
Angel Reese to miss her first shot. And she always
misses her first shot, and these guys keep dumb shitting.
She hit a three yesterday, I know, but it's just
very funny. You shouldn't be surprised that when she's hitting threes.
That's the thing exactly all right. Next, since you mentioned

(57:00):
sports betting, will stick with that. So, according to a
recent anonymous poll by The Athletic, it seems that MLB
players aren't too thrilled with legalized sports betting. So one
hundred and thirty three players were polled as part of
this poll from The Athletic and asked the question has
legalized sports betting changed how fans treat you or your teammates,
and a whopping seventy eight point two percent said it has,

(57:20):
saying the situation has become way more negatives, especially on
social media, citing how people wouldn't say stuff to your face,
other fans yelling stuff in person about bets they've taken,
demanding like over unders on certain stats to players. One
other player even said they got a venmo request saying, quote,
you owe me nine thousand dollars because you blew the game.

(57:42):
I need you to send me money or I'm going
to find your family and this isn't an isolated incident.
And then yeah, an related story.

Speaker 7 (57:50):
Actually, golfer Scotti Scheffler said that he had to delete
his Venmo because people were either sending him money or
requesting money based on sports betting. So it seems like
sports betting has kind of gotten personal attacks on players,
and I'm sure it's got across all sports Midweek or May.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Wow. This is major because this now becomes such a
big part of why people watch, and I get it.
It adds to the excitement. It's a lot of fun
when you have action on the game, but get a
life loser. You're taking it out on these professional athletes
because they didn't deliver. Who wants to deliver more than them?
They're the one's out there doing it. I just don't
understand that mindset. I don't get it, and I don't

(58:26):
respect the people that take things to that next level.
I think this is absolutely major. It's the part of
gambling we don't talk about enough. This's fun to wager.
This fun betting on football and basketball and hey doing
our DraftKings pick six, which I love, Oh, you know,
Soto over a one and a half basis Aaron Judge
a home run tattoos is not handling like a degenerate.

(58:48):
But but you know what you lose, you lose with
grace A lot of I'm like Thibodeau, I'm a graceful guy.
No one's forcing you to bas But you know what
I will say, there are days where I'm like, oh, man,
tattoos or you know a guy who who bet on
tattis you, I know. But what I'm putting yourself in
the head. But what I'm saying is I am a
mature adult son wired, Danny g You. Everyone in the room,

(59:08):
for the most part mature adults. What I'm saying is
that most people aren't. So you're gonna hold resentment. If
you missed a six out of six pick six parlay
because uh Bogarts comes up short, you're gonna be like, God,
damn Boguart and you're gonna be all you know, You're
gonna be rude about it. H And it's terrible. It's
the bad part of sports gambling. I hate this. I
hated hated day. When you have that and then you

(59:30):
have social media, that hate is gonna go there towards
that guy because of these things. But the other day,
d grom through his first game where he didn't have
a strikeout. I guarantee this someone that was mad at
the ground because his strikeout over under hit the under.
Yeah forget that, you know he won or whatever it can,
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (59:44):
Did you guys see that Gabby Douglas was heckled by
some moron and he like got her to screw up
her performance so he could win a bet.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
It was.

Speaker 4 (59:53):
That's gross.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
It's not necessarily the problem with gambling. It's the problem
with people. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Well, thank you about that.
Was that's fun. Thanks for making me some time. No problem,
and let's go to Dan Buyer for an update. D B.
What's going on, my friend, guys in the NBA.

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
It's Game three of the finals tonight between the Thunder
and Pacers, to being off from Indianapolis at eight thirty
Eastern time. Series is tied up at a piece.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
By the way, remember the other day I was mad
that SGA's over under was thirty one and a half
and I bet the over and he hit thirty one.
Shouldn't be mad at SGA. I'm just an idiot. So
see that he ties it all again, So sad. Brian
Wilson music legend of Beach Boys, eighty two years old,
passed away, so many great songs. I only know. I

(01:00:38):
think this is a top five song of all times.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
Awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Yeah, did you vibration? See the movie Love and Mercy
The Brian Wilson Story. John Cusack played Brian.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Uh, you know, I don't think I have, but maybe
a good watch?

Speaker 8 (01:00:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
On your list to pay tribute Kokemo. Wouldn't it be nice?
California Girls, Barbara Ant so many hits, so many great songs,
such a legendary artist. We say rest in peace, Brian
Wilson of the Beach Boys Again, Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. When you bring up the Beach Boys
every time I think I hear, wouldn't it be nice?

(01:01:12):
I think of fifty first dates with the Sandman, Drew
Barrymore and Sean Aston sand That was a good one.
All right, Hey, listen, Danny, you said you have a
tweet about the beginning of our show, and then we
got to talk about wasted talent before we get out
of here.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Yeah, really quick, before we get to our last topic,
social tainments tweeted, he said, Danny Telsey, and are they missed.
June eleventh, nineteen ninety three. Jurassic Park was also released
on this state. Sad we opened the show today with
four classic movies that were all released on this date,
Ferris Bueller Et. Austin Powers, Napoleon, Dynamite, What Where does

(01:01:47):
Jurassic Park.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
As have a different color that changes every sh should
have been a top five today, not a top four.
Jurassic is two behind Et or maybe.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
One for some listener here sat that one is number one.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
To me, it's definitely up there, no question, especially when
you put yourself in the mindset of seeing it for
the first time.

Speaker 6 (01:02:07):
Right there's another Jurassic Park movie coming out, like in
a week or right now, right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Now, those movies do so huge. Thank you for chiming
in now. The saddest thing in the world talking about
the sad loss of Brian Wilson and Slice Stone this week.
The saddest thing in the world is what wasted talent?
And if you don't believe me, maybe you believe I
don't know, Robert de Niro.

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
Remember, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
You could have all the talent in the world, but
if you don't do the right thing, then nothing happens.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
But when you do right, guess what good things happen?

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
I mean you're listening collojural. That's a Bronx tale, a classic.
And that's the biggest takeaway. It's the whole point of
the movie. It's one of the best takeaways of the movie.
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent. And when
you think of sports, when you think of life, who
comes to mind? Because we're here to say that there's
a new poster boy in town. For well, I don't

(01:03:00):
think a post a boy. I think a guy that's
being wasted rich. But you could look and say the
trajectory is not good, Like I think we're still too
early because he's still so young. But mister Paul Skeins,
mister Livvy Dunn, Paul Skeens one of the best young
pitchers the game is seen in a while. The run

(01:03:20):
support he's getting might even eclipse what I would call
the Jacob de gram treatment, where remember when Jacob de
Grom would win like ten games for the Mets and
his era would be one point something he had zero
run support. How many times de Grom would take the
hell for the Mets seven innings and one run and
get the loss. And look how it worked out for him.

(01:03:41):
He eventually won with Texas, and you know he's still
doing his thing. Maybe he goes back to the Mets.
Paul Skeens has a one point one two e R
and his last seven starts one point one two ERA
in his last seven starts, and he has real estate.
But this one win to show were in seven starts.
I know he said the one win that's a joke.

(01:04:02):
He gave it away, But I'm not saying you give
it away in a bad way. But give me the
e RA in the seven starts again, one point one
one point one in seven point one two. Yeah, one
point one two and seven starts. Realistically, you gotta get
five wins out of that. Yes, you could say, you
would say five to I.

Speaker 8 (01:04:21):
Was being.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Casual by saying five six if you said maybe one
of those starts the game was not en up at
one one in the sixth and he got pulled er
five in the fifth inning. One point one two ERA
in seven starts and the guy comes away with one
w So is he winning in life? Is he getting paid?
Is he with Livy Dunn? Is he in the big leagues.
Is his career trajectory on a great path, Yeah, because

(01:04:45):
he's gonna end up somewhere else, just like the grom did,
and he's probably gonna win. That's great, and hopefully that's
the Yankees for me. But as of now, all this
effort is being wasted. They're not winning as a result,
he's not getting any wins. You know, He's get a
lot of strikeouts, and his er tells a different story,
and that story tells that he plays for the weakest team.

(01:05:06):
That's really you gotta wonder is he going to be
there to stick around for a Pirates rebuild, because I
don't think they'll even do that. Bob Gibson, historically, by
the way, in nineteen sixty eight and sixty nine had
nine losses and thirteen losses with eras of one point
one two and two point one eight. So that's a
guy that would pitch the whole game and the team
wouldn't even do anything for him. So, Bob Gibson, Jacob Degram,

(01:05:29):
they're saying, Randy Johnson at a time, so hey, there
you go, wells comes to mind. Let us know, all right,
we'll see you guys tomorrow. Or rivendecci baby, see you
in the Promised Land.
