Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, thanks for listening to the best of Kabino and

Speaker 2 (00:16):
The iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
More said than I thought i'd be about the passing
of Ozzy Osbourne. I mean a true legend, an icon,
a guy that changed a game, impacted us musically but
also pop culturally.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And Rich, you made.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
A great analogy, like sometimes guys like Yogi bart to
tie it into sports, their personality overshadowed their greatness, and
I feel the same for Ozzy. Sometimes you think of
him as Sharon and is colorful, larger than life guy.
Of course, don't sleep on his iconic status of selling
over one hundred albums and changing music and rock as

(00:57):
we know it today, over fifty million albums old solo,
over seventy million albums sold worldwide with Black Sabbath like,
the impact is strong, slightly connected. I'm on Ozzie's boneyard.
I'm hired by the Osbourne family. On Channel thirty eight
serious XM on I'm on every Saturday Sunday morning.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, but I am like so.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
So emotionally sad and touched because he just had his
farewell show two weeks ago and it's like he almost
knew And at the same time, it's bittersweet because it's
so sad that we lost an icon at seventy six,
but it's so sweet that he had the most iconic
rockstar sendoff of all time. To be able to say
goodbye to all his fans and friends the way he
did just two weeks ago, that's insane. So rest in peace.

(01:43):
We honor him today here on Fox Sports Radio. Much
like that Yogi Barra analogy. It's dead on because it
really is Yogi bereth ten World Series one MVPs, but
because he was Yogi and everyone looked at him as
like a character.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, same with Ozzy, a character of himself.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You know, because of MTV and the Osbourne's like you said,
share uh, he became more of a character and I
think some were like, oh, that's right, he is like
a rock stars just can't believe the news because we
saw him perform his final show in Birmingham, England, in
front of his hometown, his hometown fans and friends. His
daughter got engaged backstage.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's like he.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Held on for this moment, wanted one last hurrah, and
he passed away today at seventy six and with friends
and family.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And that's not to be.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Overshadowed by the passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner as well.
Like that whole story sucks as well, so rest in
peace to him at the age of fifty four. But
the Ozzie thing, You've heard stories where a family member
holds on, like someone travels to go see a dying
relative and once that dying relative says.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
They're farewells, they were able to like people to like.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I almost feel like that Ozzie tribute event where he
performed with his favorite artist, his daughter got engaged, like
everything happened and it almost felt like all right, now
he could go. It's just such a somber feeling. We
still have the music and we're thankful for that, but
we pay tribute and honor him today. And of course,

(03:12):
like I said, if you do have series six time,
he has a channel where you'll hear it. And I'll
be playing more tonight on Turbo forty one on Turble
forty one and Channel thirty eight Ozzie's Boneyard, but we'll
also play it here on Fox Sports Radio. So rest
in peace, Ozzy Osbourne seventy six a metal icon. We
would not have the music we have today, which is
synonymous with what you hear at the stadium, if it

(03:34):
wasn't for Ozzy Osbourne. Now, where do you want to
start your foul ball dilemma? I have a great foul
ball story. I do want to talk about Derek Jeter
and whether or not he's the biggest pompous dufist in
the room or is he making the right move. There's
a Derek Jeter story we're gonna get to. But I

(03:56):
think other happy athletes.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think I want to talk about unhappy athletes.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And by the way, the Ozzy Osbourne story is a
sad one that you'll see everywhere. Just usually you hear
about celebrity deaths. Some hit you harder than others, right,
that's just a fact. Yeah, And then a lot of
times we just take these people as celebrities like not
real people. But music is so connected and sports to

(04:25):
what we love and what identifies us. The Azzi one
I wouldn't have thought hit me as hard as it's
hitting right now. Seriously, I just wouldn't have thought I
would have been that saddened by it.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I want to point out one thing as we
move on.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, we are now officially in the second half of
the baseball season, and you and I have our Mets Yankees.
Bet I'm a game and a half up, and the
Mets have been playing not great, which means your Yankees,
you think they'll make a move because we got less
than ten days made it very, very clear, which is

(05:01):
why you can't sleep on it. Brian Cashman said that
they're in the market for pitchers and a third baseman,
so I don't think there's any they should be on
the market for maybe a shortstop the way Volpi's play.
And I'm saying, like every team says, every team in
the mix, is like, we're in the market.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I mean, you got to give up stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like Eugenio Suarez is in the mix. Maybe you hear
these names all the time, but the Yankees are absolutely
looking to get some big names soon. I want to
point this out a week in advance. We're not gonna
harp on it, but I have to point it out now,
because I know what's gonna happen over the.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Next ten days.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
All your ass clown friends are gonna be on the
group chat and they're gonna be talking about who your
team should get. Yet they're willing to part with no one,
like like, you know, we should do we should go
after uh you know, see if we can get schemes
from the pirates. Yeah, and you like you want to
hear players to be named later, but you don't want
to know any of the players. It's like it doesn't

(05:58):
work that way. Like you gotta be willing to sacrifice something,
whether you're a Dodgers fan, Mets, Yankees, Cubbies, you know, Guardians, Mariners,
you name it. Every sports fan loves to talk about
what they want, but they're not willing to give anything up,
Like we really need a front end of the rotation
guy and a true third baseman. Well guess what, dude,

(06:19):
You're gonna have to give up your top prospect or
guys that are in your current starting lineup. If the
Yankees want to make the movie you're talking about, someone's
gotta go. But fans never think that, So just keep
that in mind. Over the next ten days, when your
idiotic friends hit you up and they're like, you know what,
I'll tell you what the Philly should go after blank

(06:39):
And you're like, well, you know what, You're gonna have
to give up someone pretty big to get.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
The Yankees are real high on that's your pitcher.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
He's like six foot seven, like this giant, lanky dude
named John Schlitter.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
He's pitched once for the Yankees, and he pitched a
good game, a really good game.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
But we, meaning.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yankees fans, have only seen him pitch one time on
the big stage, and everyone's like.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
No, you can't get rid of that guy.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
We've seen him once ever, but just because he's highly talented,
people are like, you can't let that guy go. Well,
we'll be hearing some big moves being made soon for sure.
Well it's gonna get real interesting over the next ten days.
But I want to talk about unhappy athletes as we
shift to the NFL. I got to answered you finished Quarterback
by the way on Netflix. Danny G was hard for

(07:27):
three D for so long. It's so good. Yeah that's
what she said. But yeah it's so good, Danny G.
Oh Wow, Yeah, it's so good.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Danny G.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
You really find Jared Goff like to be the most
endearing dude.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
He really.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
He really like exemplifies like the what if situation, Like
he thought his life was over when he was traded,
but it turns out he is so embraced in Detroit
and it's the best thing that ever happened to him and.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Him and his very hot wife.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
If you realized last week they welcomed a baby girl,
so he's a new dad. What felt like a nightmare
as it happened turned out to be his greatest blessing
and his life has been amazing ever since. So you
really find him endearing and relatable, and he teaches a
true life lesson, like you think your life is over,
maybe it's just starting. And Cousins is like the biggest
lovable goofball ever and you see his ups and downs

(08:27):
and where's he gonna play this year? How's that going
to work out? You're left on that cliffhanger and Joe Burrow,
I say this respectfully, he's the least likable of all
those dudes, but he's the biggest star and so cool,
and I say that with respect.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
This is the other two dudes you want to give
a hug Joe Burrow's just the man.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I though it was cool to see the relationship between
the Burrows and the Chase family. Yeah, I also coming
up through LSU and Now and the Pros like two
families that are like, yeah, we're sort of intertwined forever,
so we might as well get along and hang. Burrow
is so cool, like we're really living in a great
time and we're so fortunate to have these young stars
who were just bringing it now. I'm glad you brought

(09:07):
up Kirk Cousins because I think he applied to this conversation.
You mean, the guy who gets his haircut at Great
Clips and loves it. The guy who when he's unleashing
and unwinding, drinks Roy Rogers and says they're the best
drink ever. I think it's interesting because you saw it
unfold on one of the early episodes a quarterback and
in real life like last year, so it's not like

(09:28):
this is anything new. But to see the insight of
Kirk Cousins, Danny you saw in the first episode or
so where he's like, listen, we didn't necessarily want to
leave Minnesota, but they gave us no choice. They offered
him like a year to year type of situation, and
they wanted more longevity, he wanted more job security. He
wanted like four I think four yeah, and Atlanta stepped
up and said, Yo, we'll give you that money. Then

(09:50):
he felt misled, and that all sort of ties into
the conversation. I want to start with today, which is
unhappy athletes. I sayhe happy because the main headline today
in the world of sports is unhappy wide receiver McLaurin
of the commanders, the Commander's whereas Trump wants to call

(10:11):
him now just kidding the Redskins.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
He's a no show at camp and this guy.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Is a star, but he's gonna lose fifty thousand dollars
a day for every day he continues to not show
up at camp. Well again, because it's a business and
it's a contract dispute. That's why he's unhappy. Terry McLaurin, Yeah,
signed a three year contract. Now this three year contract
he's in the final year. It's a three year, sixty

(10:40):
eight mil. Now at the time, pretty solid contract. But
since then you see other wide receivers getting significant money
where that looks like not the best deal.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Now, yeah, McLaurin has outplayed that contract.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Now McLaurin has outplayed guys that are making ten million
dollars more a year. And for the sake of conversation,
you know, this is the business of professional sports. There
is a business side to this that's equally, if not
more important. So I know people are thinking like, hey,
it's a contract, that's a job.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm fascinated though on both sides of this.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
It's also a child's game that we all dreamt of
playing at this level. I'm gonna pose the question and
then I'm going to give you both sides, Like the
question really is do you get it? And let me
give you both sides, the side of the organization where
they could be done with a player that has been
loyal and great and a contributor. But the minute a
team feels like this guy is not going to give

(11:37):
us what we need, they are so quick to dump
a player like he's a pile of doodoo on the
side of the road, throw him at the window like
a straw wrapper, like a straw rapper, like some litter buck,
like just throwing some trash. That must be your move.
I know, clearly Rich is the litter buds throwing out

(11:58):
straw rappers, some debris. Yeah, cigarette rich is probably throwing
out all those straws to killing all the turtles.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Don't pollute.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I know, I've learned. I learned that. I give a hoot.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
That's such a random example, you know, that's what he does.
He probably takes a lot of pride in that too.
Pride and littering, because.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, why would you that, I'm thinking of something.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
You're you're driving down the street. What do you see
people throw out the car window? Used to be cigarettes,
but now like it is straw wrappers because they probably
dissolve in like, yeah, it's biodegradable. I do that with
like banana peels, like like I'm living in a car.
You want people to help someone's in a slip on
it and I'm driving my car. Driver Cavino's responsible for

(12:39):
the o'doyle family dying. But you do that right, racing
And if you're if you're eating an apple right, you're
not tossing it into a bush.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
You're like I squirrel of grabbar? Who cares? That's that's
not littering. I mean, I I agree that, Uh, I
would just squirrel on to eat a banana peel an apple.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
That's biodegradable.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Squirrels need popasium sam. But anyway, back to your story,
do they owners because the lowers, you know, low potassium
in a lot of squirrels. Owners very quick and management
very quick to cut a guy. He could have been
a guy that's been on the team ten years. He
could be up for uh, you know, bonuses. They're quick
to be like, I don't care about the player, and

(13:19):
you see that all the time. They throw them away
like yesterday's doodoo diapers. Yeah, I hope you don't throw
those out the window. But then on the side of
the player, I find that wild when a player signs
a contract and then mid contract they're like, yeah, I
don't really love what I signed, let's reopen this, or
I'm not playing, And I almost feelink you have to

(13:39):
understand both sides, like they're both equally sort of gross. No, yeah,
I mean equally accountable for sure. But again that's the
business side of things, and that's why these star players
have star agents.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think that's why when you reach.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
A certain level in life period, you have agents do
your work because you don't want to it gets too murky.
You don't want to mix the negotiation with the player.
You just don't. That's the agent's job. That's why it
gets to that level. Yeah, now, I listen. That's why
even at our level you could say we're minions in
the game and grand scheme of broadcasting. But at this

(14:19):
level of the game, like you don't want to talk
money with your boss, you leave that to the agents,
You leave that to the negotiators. You know, that's not
where he should be stepping in. But look, if something's
not settled and it's not right, he doesn't want to
show up in the meantime. That's where we're at. And
he's sacrificing fifty thousand dollars a day, and you got
to ask yourself, that's the business side. Has has he

(14:41):
proven enough?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Side?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Has he proven enough? Because Danny, you said he is
an accomplished receiver. They haven't won a Super Bowl. I
always say when a player hasn't won a championship or
something of that caliber, like let's say some guys on
a Rinky Dan contract in the big picture, but they
win a championship for that city. I find it more
acceptable to be like, let's open this bad boy. Commanders
had a good year. They made it to the NFC

(15:04):
Championship game. But you're on year three of a contract.
You think it's automatic that Washington should be like, all right,
we're gonna make you happy, we'll reopen it.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Is that the standard?

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Now?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Do we just accept these guys saying I don't want
to play out my contract.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Well, we see this in every major league right now,
when a player is going into the final year of
their deal. If you want to keep that player happy
and on your team and as a leader, you usually
go in and rework things and extend it.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
But you might argue, well, good, because what are you
going to take the side of the team, Because a
lot of times it's like what you are you rooting
for the billionaire owners or are you rooting for.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
The player to get what they deserve.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just think it's interesting that if you are at
all productive during your contract, you never see it through.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's like halfway through.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
That We live in a world where we see athletes
take this stand where you would assume, or we were
led to believe that they should just be grateful and
happy for most of our life to be playing a
kid's game and getting paid this amount of money. But
in every other job in the world, we should always
take the side of the smaller man, meaning versus the corporation, Like,
why wouldn't you have the players back as opposed to

(16:10):
the multi billion dollar organization.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know, you should always have their side.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's like if I was in a dispute, would you
have Fox Fox's side or Steve Cavino's side?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's the way you have to look at things. I mean,
for instance, I'm a big Mets fan. As you know,
Pete Alonso got a pretty team friendly deal because no
one really wanted him at the time. And now you're like,
oh crap, Pete's playing great and thirty I'm sorry, twenty
nine teams other than the Mets are thinking, yo, we
could have got Pete Alonzo for like not a lot.

(16:43):
You could have found room in your lineup for Pete Alonzo,
first base, DH somewhere. Now, Pete Alonzo's having his best
year and now the chatter is.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Well, they better open up his contract now to make
him happy.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
You know, side the contract, he has leverage, he's he's
put up the stats. They have a new quarterback. That
quarterback needs someone to throw to. Right, he has all
these these reasons to maybe fight for more and they
aren't able to get it done. What would you all
right put yourself in his situation. That's really what it is.
And I don't like these crybaby athletes that demand more.

(17:14):
But if you deserve more than maybe you should fight
for it. And you have that that applies to everybody
and you have a very little window of primo earnings exactly.
It leaves a bad taste. But that's just business, right,
But when it's done aside is the ugly side. But
if it were you and you were in the middle
of a contract negotiation and you're not getting what you want,
and I say you the collective you listening and you rich,

(17:36):
would you show up to work in the meantime? That's
really what it comes down. But does a little caveat
to what you said. You said if you're in the
middle of the negotiation. He's in the middle of a contract,
but it is a negotiation. Now then it's aciation because
they've sort of reopened it because he said because he
said so, yeah, so the bigger contract don't mean squad.

(17:58):
I know it's I know it's a vague question, but
my question to everyone, ad, we love the feedback you
know the most interactive show here on Fox Sports Radio
eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox. The big question
is do you get it? Like, do you understand both
sides of this? Gross Like ownership could dismiss someone just
like that, but a player in the middle of contract
would be like, well, you know what, I while I

(18:19):
did sign the contract, I now don't like it.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm gonna sit.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
I know that players think to themselves, I can only
get this deal right now, but I'm gonna ball out
and I'm gonna get paid way more and hopefully by
that team. And we see what Trey Hendrickson is going
through with the Bengals right now. Seventeen and a half
sacks last season, seventeen and a half sacks is season prior,
and he's saying that they are giving him an offer

(18:44):
that's atrociously low. So sometimes being top in the stats
still doesn't make your way with a new contract.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
And then if if a guy's on your team right
and you know he's like unhappy, does that also sit
weird with you? What if the commander is like, yeah, yeah,
like we got it, but it's always gonna sit weird
with us because this is sort of a new side
to sports that we've only experienced in like the past
ten years or so. He's pros ain't loyal because it's
a business and we've been saying that for a good

(19:12):
five to ten years now. Where you're seeing people you
assume should be or should be happy and well compensated,
they feel they deserve more and they're taking a stand.
It's just something our eyes and ears are not accustomed
to yet. Mancie, what were we gonna say?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
No, I don't worry about it.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
No, I was just going to add that Tray Hendrickson's contract,
the problem is guaranteed money. They don't want to give
it to him past the twenty twenty five season.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
But that also goes to the food though.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, that also goes to like, well, teams are looking
for shortcuts. If a guy's not performing, they're quick to
want to get out of that deal and somehow find
the least amount of might of pay. So when a
player is over delivering Carino, maybe it's not weird for
them to want to open a contract mid mid contract essentially.
So it's just interesting. I saw the headline unhappy. I'm like,

(20:04):
unhappy You're in the middle of this seventy million dollar contract.
But it leaves a bad taste in the average fellows
math because you're such a fan of what they do,
and everyone under the moon would probably trade places with
those type of problems, you know, when everyone's hard on
the grind and live and check to check and just
trying to make ends meet. You know, you don't want
to hear about unhappy unhappy athletes, But when you think

(20:26):
about the position they're playing and the stats are putting
up and the money that's being made on their behalf
for major organizations and franchises, it makes sense. It's just
from a fan perspective, nobody wants to hear that, including myself.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
You're unhappy. Let me tell you about my life.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
See how unhappy you are, And that's how everybody feels,
you know what I mean. So that's why it rubs
people the wrong way. What I've heard once someone once said,
pay us what you owe us. Kidding wwwnba. By the way,
there's so many layers to that. That's why you were
wearing those T shirts this week, you know what. There's
so many layers to that. Because they did sign these

(21:05):
big contracts for broadcasting rights and all this, and the
teams are evaluated, are valuated, you know, significantly high. But
you always hear people say that leak has never turned
to profit. So but it's also shame on the athlete,
shame on the artist who signs the contract and then
never sees the money they signed it. You know, there's

(21:27):
a part of an old school part of me is
like tough tatas you signed it, you did it to
How many times do you hear about a music artist
that was bamboozled? I understand, but they told the opportunity
that was presented to them at the time. The best
example is your pal missus Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift and
screwdter Braun made a deal.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Again, they didn't have to make that deal.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Taylor Swift is McLaurin signed the deal halfway through, was like,
I don't like this deal. And then she and what
she did was She's like, all right, well then I'm
gonna re record all my music. And the fans were
there and have to be at a certain level to
pull that off. And it's a question of is Nicklauren
at that.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Level that's really it, Taylor Swift level.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, Cove, I understand what you're saying, but at the
same time, if you see other players on your team
that are having their deals reworked, but the team won't
renegotiate with you, that's where we get into the weeds here.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, honestly, think about it.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
At your own job, whatever you do for a living,
if you asked your boss for a raise and it's
like these these salaries are public, we'd all feel that
way if we all knew what everybody made.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh, that is true, that's a big part of it.
Rich and I.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
You know, we've worked in radio a long time and
one time we saw what other shows were making and
it did make you feel that way. So that's that's
to your point, Danny G. It's like, you know, you
you make these deals and you're supposed to be content
with them, and you're like, hey, then you know these
are the moves I made. Let me do my best
and put my nose to the grind. But then when
you really know that you're putting in more effort and
more results and other people getting paid more, it rubs

(22:57):
you the wrong way. And you do see other people
you're that's all they make. They're better than that person
that makes one. It changes It changes things when it's public.
Do you think you would want to know? If I
said Moncey Danny Jaber, if I said I have a
spreadsheet in front of me right now that includes the
salaries of every on air host and producer at Fox
Sports Radio, take a look, would you want to or

(23:18):
did it bother you?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'd want to know. You might still bother me, but
you don't want to know.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Sometimes you got to reluctantly tip your hat and say, well,
I guess that dude either has a better agent or
he's just better at business.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Right.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
But I think you get a lot of information knowing that.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
I think there's too many feelings involved with all those
numbers and everything this sort of job and what they
do too, even though it's public, so it's different for them.
You have to be laser focused in on what you're
doing and what your show is doing.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
But it's an old school mentality, Danny g And that's
that's the world we're living in now, and that's why
there's a weird contrast and feeling that we get. Like
Rich and I, we realized that we made probably three
to four times less than this other show made, that
we were on the same channel on and in my opinions,
guy sucked and I'm like, what, I can't believe that.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Then you see someone else.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
But we did something on the school where we were
mad about it and we just put our nose to
the grind and worked hard, like, hey man, I guess
we got to live with it. In today's world, if
you know your worth and know your value the way
McLaurin does, you could make some moves and you could
you could be that guy who makes the change and
to show that it's not just athletes. One last thought,

(24:25):
I know we're running late. I saw a study that
said Generation Z gen Z one of their one of
their commonalities in the workplace is that they don't even
want to take a job interview if you're not transparent
about salary upfront, Like you know, when you see.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
A different, different mindset.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
You know, sometimes when when you look online and you
see something, it could be a workout plan, real estate something,
if they don't show the price right away, and you're
clicking around like what's the price, and they're like call
us and find out no, no, no. Generation Z younger
people twenty year olds are like none of that bs
how much before even before I even sit down with you,
what is the job pay?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm old school.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm not saying it's the right way because there's a
different way now. But your results will will come if
you continue to work hard and deliver. But you also
have to capitalize when you don't sign the contract. Yeah,
but I understand how people think today. That doesn't mean
I need to agree with it. Well, based on that article,

(25:23):
I is also telling you, guys about where younger people
gen Z are saying, I want true transparency. What does
everyone make? I want to know what my coworkers make
before you even sit down and have a conversation. New employer,
what's the starting salary? Because I don't even want to
People are saying I don't even want to waste my
time on a zoomer meeting if you don't tell me

(25:44):
the money upfront. Younger people don't have time to Let's
say you're clicking on a service, a plumber, an electrician.
Give me the price now, don't be like, well, call
and get our estimates.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
I want to know people want transparency.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Go to a restaurant and the prices aren't on the menu,
or you go to a food truck and the prices
aren't and you're like, oh, they got to be high.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
They're not listed, They're gonna be h.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
The most you know what, the two scariest letters that
you can see on the menu when you're on a
first date.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Two scariest letters that you could see on a menu
when you're on a first date trying to impress.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
When it says market price MP, market price and then
the girl with it's like, oh the lobster MP. You
tell me that my two letters not MP. Let's go
to Josh in Jacksonville. Josh your thoughts when when players
are trying to open contracts mid contract, I mean, you
got to understand it, right, it's the it's the game now.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
No, I understand it completely in a long time list
our first time caller.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh thanks, I appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (26:44):
I'll take them the time. And I mean I understand them
wanting to open up the deal, but I mean more
to the point of the younger generation wanting transparency when
it comes to say, like, I'm not with understand knowing
what other people make because at the end of the day,
there's no shortcuts of success. It's hard work, that's all
there is. The leaders to the grindstone but obviously times
more important.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Eating.

Speaker 7 (27:03):
It's the only universal thing we have and everyone has
the same amount. So I'm all for transparency when sitting down.
I mean, whether it be in real estate or in
a salary position. I think that knowing upfront what the
base is is important because why am I going to
sit there and wat thirty minutes out of my day
to do that? But I mean, I understand players, but
if you sign a contract, you should fulfill it. So

(27:27):
that's also my gripe with the NFL being one of
the only big or the only big sport that doesn't
provide guarantee money all the way through. Yeah, so that's
all I got.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, you know, I'll tell you what a guy that
bes the guy that benefited from the generosity of his team.
You could say they would have absolutely lost him had
they not done this. But you know that brock Party
could could have played one more year making like low
s money for the forty nine ers. But they said
he brought us to a Super Bowl NFC championship game.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
They rewarded him.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
But if you want to play logistics and you want
to be accurate, brock Party could be making very little
money again this year.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
But nine what we.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Would call the forty nine ers doing the right thing,
the right and you're keeping your workers and employees happy,
and you know that's what you want from a workplace,
but that workplace being your your forty nine ers. So
we're talking about unhappy athletes. By the way, it's the
story of Terry McLaurin, of the commander's receiver, who wants
to reopen the contract. And uh, we're going to get
to the rest of your phone calls and feedback eight seven,

(28:26):
seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich after
Monsey's update.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (28:32):
Oh, what's up?

Speaker 6 (28:32):
Guys, Welcome back, Thank you, miss Jack my exact amente.

Speaker 8 (28:39):
Also Elhenniel, Ohenniel, Ohenniel, el Henniel, Henielhennie.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
No one taught me that.

Speaker 8 (28:47):
Yes, oh I see you, Genioshennie Ohenniel.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, I'm not that Costa Rican. No, I'm just telling
I'm just telling you what is El.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Henye Ozzie was one of those big personalities the TV
showing up his musical career really was, and it really was.
Or you could argue, and this by no means I
don't want you to interpret this as me taken away
from his musical legendary career. He was influential in creating

(29:18):
a different sound for rock music that that dark, almost scary.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
That's what people need.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Metal sound, where you take for granted now is metal
or hard rock. It had never been done that way ever.
And it goes back to Black Sabbath, seeing a horror
movie titled Black Sabbath and saying, hey, if we could
capture the feelings that are ignited by this film and
incorporate that in our music, somehow, we could be onto something.
And they changed the game forever with these dark, dreary

(29:47):
chord progressions, and then they infiltrated the mainstream to some
regard with that sound and it changed metal and rock forever.
But I think Ozzy doesn't get enough credit because not
only did he create a sound in music for those
rock lovers.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
That had never been heard.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, the Osborne's were the first reality family followed around,
So he paved the way in the rock world and
reality TV. He was Adam the Cole Smith and what
the Cole Ritchie and Paris Hilton that's hot and the
Osbourne's that was That was the family before the Real
Housewives were a thing before people were watching Love Island
and all this stupid crep. The Osbourne's were America's first

(30:27):
reality TV. Remember, Ozzy Osbourne had a great level of
mystique in mystery behind him before he lets you into
his personal life in that way. So he opened up
his home in his heart so that people could see
him as a regular man. You know, you could say
it added to his story or it took away from

(30:48):
his mystique. Either way, we we reaped the benefit. I
think again, I think that show, whether you're watching or not,
made Ozzie a more lovable mainstream guy too many. It
really did, because I can guaranteeundbreaking a lot of your
moms and sisters, and for the most part, a lot
of people that didn't like metal or hard rock got
to see a different set of Ozzie and listen, he's

(31:10):
been a big part of a lot of people's lives.
Rest in peace a legend seventy six years old. Pastaways
and we'll be playing some Ozzie throughout the day, and
like I said, catch me on Turbo forty one on
series sixth tonight, I'll be talking more about it and
Ozzy's Bonyards channel thirty eight on series six, if you
want to check it now. I do want to get
to this Derek Jeter story. Oh it's wild. We are

(31:32):
going to give away some prizes. It's a misstep, I understand.
I think I have a good grasp of what's going on. Well,
you know what, since you're I think it's a misstep.
I do, since you're mister Yankee, since you're uh, we're Pinstripechnyes,
why don't you give everyone the quick cliff notes of
what's going on with Derek Jeter. We'll discuss coming up.
Yankees haven't had an Old Timers Day really since like
twenty nineteen. They had like one other one I think

(31:53):
just recently, but they haven't done it the way they
did it in the past since pre COVID. It's the
twenty fifth end of our three of the two thousand team,
Derek Cheeter was the captain. That's when they beat your Mets.
Guess what they're getting back together? Cheater is a no show?
What are your thoughts? And I do want to acknowledge

(32:14):
man Malcolm Jamal Warner too. That's a big loss, so
sad and I hate to say this too, but it's
something your parents always say, or my dad always says, yeah,
it happens in threes, so hopefully nobody's next.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yeah, it's true, though it's weird whole adult lives. We've
seen it, right, really is. And I will say, be
careful if you have any ties to Covino because first
you're in Costa Rica at the same time. How to
double check that story, like what does where cove is?
And then you're on Aussie's boneyard and yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Dude, I'm safe if you know Covino. I know I
was doing boneyard from Costa Rica. So anyway, it's a sad,
somber day, but we carry on. And that's the beauty
of sports because I'll tell you what, I'll be zoning
out to night watching the Yankees and doing my best
to enjoy the night as I hope you do as well.

(33:05):
I hope you had a great taco today. On a
taco Tuesday that feels like a Monday for us. It's
going to be back from our vacation. And we had
an USAK type of weekend. I did watch that. I
did watch that heavyweight fight. He yoh, that guy's so unefeated.
Still right, big weekend for Usik and of course the
Pachiall fight ended in a draw. We we love a

(33:25):
good fight, we love some baseball, and we love the
ti Iraq play of the day. Speaking of baseball, we're
live from the Fox Sports Radio studio show. Hao Tani
did something no one's ever seen in forty six years,
giving up a home run in the first inning and
then doing this in the first inning.

Speaker 9 (33:44):
The two to one and Otani bless it tosses a
bad that ball is weak on to the batter side.
We had a Unicorns sunning in Los Angeles. Two strikeouts
in the top of the first, Hey, go ahead blast
hit the bottom of the first, two one.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Dodgers s out of here.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Hey, they snapped their skid with a five to two
win over the Twins. That's courtesy of AM five seventy
out here in La Dodgers Audio Network, and that is
the tire rack player of the day. That is pretty
remarkable to give up a home run and hit a
home run in the same inning. That's you know, when
they said it happened forty six years ago, I'm guessing
that was a dude that hit a home run and
he was like a position player that pitched, because who

(34:26):
else would.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
It be like a Fernando Valance, like one of those
pitchers that yeah, very rare, very rare.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Maybe there were there were a couple of guys that
hit one or two home runs here there. But it
has been forty six years broadcasting live from the Fox
Sports Radio studios. The numbers eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. And this hour we're gonna play Showtime Homes Trivia,
giving away some prizes here on the show while we
have them, and we got to talk Derek Jeter.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
It is a theme.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
The theme is Ozzy Osbourne, of course, rest in peace.
Also unhappy after.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, what's what's everyone so unhappy?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Is Derek Jeter unhappy? Or is he pulling a business move?
A lot of business and sports going on on today's show.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I look at it this way.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
There are times where someone is not available to accept
their Academy.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Award or their Grammy. Yeah, what are they doing? My
first thought?

Speaker 4 (35:18):
All is he doing?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
As pee Wee Herman said when Francis Buxton was busy.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Remember, I'm here to see Francis.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Francis is busy, busy doing what Francis is taking his bath?

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Remember that? Really where are they hosing him down? Busy doing? What?
Where are they hosing down Jeter? Because you can't be
that busy?

Speaker 1 (35:41):
To me, I look at like again accepting a Grammy,
an Academy award.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I'm here on their behalf.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
What are they doing that's more important than this? What
could Derek jitza number two? What could he be doing?
We'll be careful, remember he works for Fox Sports. He
might be listening. Could he be doing on this day
that's more important than going to the twenty fifth anniversary
of the two thousand World Series champions the first Old

(36:07):
Timer's Day. Put it this way, whatever he's doing, they
would have made an exception. If it was a major
broadcast that he's a part of, they would have been like,
all right, we understand, you gotta go there to celebrate
the anniversary Yankees. Old Timer's Day is the twenty fifth
anniversary of the two thousand World Series Championship Yankees when
they beat Riches Mets. And he was the captain of

(36:31):
that team. He's the Yankees captain. He's still the captain.
Aaron Judge is the current captain, but Derek Jeter is
the captain and he's not going And it makes me
think of two things.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Maybe his daughter has a dancer recitle.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
My only thought is what if one of his kids
has like something ridiculous, like one of his kids has
a gymnastics meet, and you know what, He's like, I'm
a dad, now this is my priority.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
It was a Derek Jeter.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Saying I want no part of where this organization's going
right now. These are not my Yankees or just a
business move. My thought is this, And I gotta give
Kevin Clancy because that was his side.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
He's a Red Sox fan, so I could see.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
I mean, he's he's a Yankees hater, so I could
see where he's coming from.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
There.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
It's like, I don't want any part of this crap
Yankees team right now. Anthony Volpi is not something I
stand for. He's getting buried in social media. But my
question based on this in Sinuate that Derek Jeter thinks
he's too cool for the pinstripes of twenty twenty five,
like get out of here.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I mean, I hate the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
It's a I think it's a solid or common thought
that people could be like, well, these.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Are not my Yankees.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Why would I why would I go back to that
is this a misstep or a business move, Like, Hey,
I'm not defined by my past. I'm the I want
to be. Derek Jeter, the TV producer, Derek Jeter, the
Turn two Foundation president, Derek Jeter, the broadcaster for Fox Sports.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Not the old timers.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Not the old timer you know who's taking weak ass
swings and hacks and being honored for something I did
twenty five years ago. I happen to feel like I
understand that he's looking forward.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's that's my opinion.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
I don't know any fact, but knowing him and knowing
how he is and knowing how he always.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Viewed baseball, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
I think he's like focused on what's at hand now
and he's trying to be the best at that, and
he's not trying to look in the past. He's proud
of what he did, but been there, done that, I'm
moving forward. Doesn't want to be defined by it. So
I understand what I think he's doing here. But I
do feel as a fan that it's a major misstep
to not be there with your capadres, your brothers, the

(38:43):
guys you won and fought with, the Core four, a
twenty team that beat the Mets in a Subway series.
I think as a fan that's a misstep because we
want to see him, So all your personal things aside, Yo,
we're fans of you, dude, you got to show up
that team. This is like and they talk about and
I'm gonna give you the corniest analogy. This is when

(39:03):
they talk about like an in sync reunion and they're like, yeah,
but we're still trying to get Timberlake to sign on.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Because without Timberlake is really an in sync reunion.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
You got you're saying the Bam Tino and and all
these other Lance Pass and Joey fat You're saying a
rod or Lance Pass and Joey fatone.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yes, I don't think so, Bro, there's a lot of
stars on that to not tell me?

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Manzi, would you agree that Derek Cheeter is the the
justin Timberlake? There's a lot he is the justin Timberlake,
But there's a lot of stars that played on that team.
Isn't that what everyone criticizes Derek Jeter for playing alongside
a lot of a lot of big stars.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
I've found a couple of reports.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Okay, he's missing it for his daughter's birthday.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Oh, man, I'm sorry, you could celebrate that.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
According according to two I found two that are saying this,
He's decided to stay home to celebrate his daughter, Bella
Rain's eighth birthday.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
My daughter is eight.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
We could have it another day. Did he already hire
the magician? Is going to lose the down payment on
the on the the captain Crossbones could come another day
and perform as magic tricks like as a fan, like
you got a responsibility as a captain of that World
series team? Do you have a responsibility to your family? Absolutely?

(40:25):
And Rich and I are the first people to say
put your family first.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
They're only little once.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
But guesse, why when they're that little you could celebrate
their birthday anytime?

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Fa My friends planned like a reunion vacation on my
daughter's birthday a few years back.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
We went on the vacation and we had a birthday
party in cake like the next day or something like.
I do understand, but again I don't have to agree.
I have a friend to the other side. I have
a friend Monci. You know her, our friend Shannon. You
party with her at my house. One of our best hoals.
Our friend Shannon is one of those type of people
that if her birthday falls on a Tuesday, she's the

(41:04):
one that's that's when we celebrate, like dinner. It's like, yeah,
why don't we why don't we go Uh, why don't
we go out this weekend? Yeah, but my birthday's Tuesday.
I'm like, yeah, I know, your birthdays Tuesday. But Friday
night I'll get a babysitter and my wife and I
will join you.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah, but my birthday's Tuesday. Derek Jeter, I know what
to me.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
He's in the doghouse for some reason. And you know,
this is another thing where Derek Jeter puts his career
before his family. So he's like, I can't. Maybe he's like,
maybe he learned from Tom Brady. Hey, maybe he learned
from Tom Brady. Not, you know, not the pres of
scoring like extra bonus points that we don't know about.
Like everybody has the reasons, everybody has their things. I
get it, and like I said, I understand, I just

(41:46):
don't agree.

Speaker 10 (41:46):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
I put my kids to be there.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I put my kids before anything. I have never missed
a school player performance or any of these things I have.
I've done the show from home on those days if
I needed to because I know being a parent is
the most important thing you could to be. There is
more important than anything.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Yep. But he's a retired athlete. He has plenty of time.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Exactly, So this rare occasion of we're celebrating essentially you
twenty five years ago. You are the two thousand Yankees,
the captain, the guy that hit a solo home run
and I believe Game three was the only run of
the game most he loved the Yankees of all time.
So again, reschedule the ELSA face paintings. I mean, I'm
a biased fan. Guys, again, I'm a Yankee fan. I'm

(42:28):
a Derek Jeter lover and supporter, Like I love this,
do we know? So I've turned it over to the
Fox Sports Radio Nation and your thoughts eight seven, seven
ninety nine one Fox. I narrowed down to this is
the captain misstepping year, something he rarely did in his career.
I think he is. That's what makes it such a
story and so odd. We rarely saw Derek Jeter misstep

(42:50):
ever in his career, and I think he is. Why
now now? Or is this a clear business decision of
Hey man, I don't I don't do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
I don't live in the past.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I live in the future, and I don't want to
be associated with the hal Steinbrenner Yankees. I'm a George
Steinbrener Yankee, and I moved past that because I'm looking forward.
These other guys, they live in the past. I'm Derek Cheeter.
I live in the feuduve I move forward. A common
conversation Cavino and I have had over the years, not
only here at Fox in general, is I'm a guy

(43:21):
that likes to still actively play sports.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Cavino likes to say I left that, I put it
behind me.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I left that in the past, like Cavino played high
school in college baseball, and then it is like that's it.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
I still play.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Softball, you know.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
I mean, they won't want to go to a high
school reunion because I'm past.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
But my point is.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
I still enjoy swinging a bat throwing a ball. Jeter
might think, Hey, listen, man, my last at bat at
Yankee Stadium was a walk off single. I left as
magical as I possibly could have. I didn't even want
to swing a bat in that stadium again. Yeah, but
he doesn't have to there. You could just go you
go there and you honor the fans and the team.
You don't have to play, And I don't think. I

(44:02):
don't know if they are suiting up and playing. Not
everybody does even when they do that. But when they
do that, Derek Jeter is still in shape. You could
tell five broadcast when he's sitting there with a rod
and big poppy. You know that Derek Jeter can clearly
still hit a home run out of Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I mean no, I don't blame saying never.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
He's never wanting to take a swing again because he wants.
He's such a prideful guy. He wants to be remembered
as the guy that that Like you said, Rich left
his last game with a walk off single. Everything was storybook,
everything was grand. I wouldn't want to leave any other image.
You want to like a fat old guy around in
the bases at how you want to be remembered.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
No, he's Derek Jeter. He wants to be remembered on
a high regard.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
I get all that, but he should still be there
and prioritize his teammates and what they accomplished twenty five
years ago for the team and for the fans. Regardless
of whatever else is going on, unless it's like a death.
You you saw the buzz when they had like Fernando
Night out here in La at the Dodgers scheme. You
saw how when they retired David Wright's number at City

(45:03):
Field over the weekend. These generational legendary players mean so
much to the fan base, so much that if Derek
Jeter went to Yankee Stadium and they broke out the
old cassette tape, yes, I said, cassette tape of Bob
Shepherd saying, now batting number two, Derek jetera number two,
the place would.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Go banana sEH.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
The guy that has to be Jeter is what would
cause some people to say, y'all spend five hundred for
a ticket. Him not going is a major fail. I
don't care how you slice.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
It or dice in it. Career of no missteps. This
might be the first trust me.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
When there's story is about paternity leaving players dipping away
for their kids. I get it. I got two kids
that I prioritize, so I get it. But you can
reschedule your kid's eighth birthday party. Bruno and Brooklyn, let's
start with you. Is Jeter misstepping or do you get it?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Man?

Speaker 10 (45:55):
No, I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Man.

Speaker 10 (45:56):
As a lifelong Yankees fans, he's not only not gone,
and he was not just a captain. He was the
quick essential nucleus to that team. Number one, number two.
Is there a better player on that team? Someone could argue,
Judge in the last twenty five years. I don't believe.
So This was one of the biggest players, forget about
the Yankees of all time in the sport. He should

(46:18):
be there. I don't care what his excuses. He's retired,
he can move things around, he's not driving a truck
for a living. He could be there.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, he has that luxury. Agreed, Man, I hate to
say it. I'm his biggest fan. I agree with you.
I do, I do. I can't defend it, like, yeah,
I want to see Luis Sojo because he was a
big part of the team. But he's not very cheater
and he's not bigger than the rest of the players. Dude,
we're talking a team with Paul O'Neill, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez,

(46:46):
Jorge Posada, Conseko was on that team. David Justice, who
you hear with Rob Parker, I'd love to hear his
take on that. You know, I got a justice. I
got to throw it out there because I mentioned this
to you recently. They recently released a list of the
most games played by each player on each team, Like
who are the top guys that suited up? Who has

(47:08):
played the most games in Dodger Blue, who's played the
most games as a Brewer, as a met And as
far as the Yankees go, with all the legends from
Mantle to DiMaggio to Maris to Reggie, to Don Mattingly
to Aaron.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Judge, Clemens Cone, They're all going to be there.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Derek Jeter has played more games as a Yankee than
any other person that put on the pinstripes, twenty seven
hundred plus games. Mickey Mantle's number two with twenty four
hundred sometime games, all time hits. And again he was,
as our last friend just said, the nucleus of that
two thousand team. Look when Nay won in ninety six,

(47:47):
he was a rookie, he was young by two thousand.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
That was his team.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Surrounded by stars, but that was his team. If anyone
should be there, it should be him. I remember one
time we were all and of course this all changes, Rich,
we do hear something else, like someone sick? Right, that
changes everything. Yeah, we're going as of right now and
what we know. Yeah, one time Kavino and I were
offered a guest on our show What I mean back

(48:12):
in the day and now we love to do fun interviews.
In fact, our Zach Brown interview from the All Star
Game is available on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page.
Great guy, Zach Brown. Back in the day. I remember
one of the talent people at Serious ex Am. We're like,
Covino and Rich, you guys want to have the Foo
Fighters on? And we said, hell, yeah, we'd like to

(48:34):
interview and hang with the Foo Fighters. Maybe they'll do
a live performance. And then they whispered, oh but without
Dave Grohl, and I'm like, I'm sorry, can you say
that part again?

Speaker 2 (48:44):
The Food Fighters? Yeah, but without Dave.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Chris Schiafflett is awesome and all, but he's not He's
not Dave Grohl. I mean, I love Pat Smear, he's
a legend, he was in Nirvana, but he's not Dave Grohl.
But we did have Taylor Hawkins Rest in Peace, Yes
we did. But but it is it's it's like, yo,
he's the main guy again.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Don't tell me we're gonna have the food fighters. Don't
tell me instincts performing a live in Timberlake's not on board.
Don't tell me that they're doing a Destiny's Child reunion.
But Beyonce sitting it out the Yankees twenty teen without
Derek Jeter is the most blaring omission of anything you
could think of. Honestly, I can't think of. It'll be like, hey,
we're doing a reunion of the eighties forty nine ers.

(49:24):
Oh yeah, but Joe Montana's not gonna be there. What hey,
We're gonna do a whole bit where he used to
joke growing up on the East Coast, they used to
joke a lot about like there would be a Howard
Stern Show appearance.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
But it's like bab ba booie. It's like, no, they.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Were thinking it was a Howard Stern Show appearance, not
a bab a booie showing, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
you came because you thought it was Howard back in
the day. You're expecting the main guy to be there,
or it's not the same, or it's just like almost
false marketing.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
It's like, what the two thousand Yankees being.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
On Derek Jeter is not there? Then you hear that
Mons's disappointing Monty in your update. Aren't they gonna be
doing a big new England Patriots dynasty, like big big event.
No Tom Brady, no Tom Brady, no Tom Brady. At
that point you cancel it on Eddie in Jersey, your
thoughts on Jeets, which, by the way, as a Mets fan,
I respect Youter.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
I like him a lot.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
I think he hasn't really taken many missteps, and again
one of them as a dad of an eight year
old daughter, which is the reason he's missing, I would
I would change on my daughter. All right, you know what,
I'm actually gonna shift my thought a little bit and
then we're gonna got through the phone calls. I think
this is a mess step, but I think, knowing Jeter,
Captain Klutch, it's calculated. No, it's there's a real reason

(50:43):
that we just don't know yet. And I hope it's
nothing you know, bad or tragic or anything like that,
but we might have to come back and say, oh, okay, figures, I.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Knew Derek Cheeter wouldn't let us down. Like that, keep
that in your back pocket? What's up?

Speaker 4 (50:56):
Ed Duardo?

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Hey Eddie, Hey guys, he's got to be there, no excuse.

Speaker 10 (51:01):
But I do have a theory on what this might be.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Yeah, he might be thinking, I'm fifty one this year.
I'm not an old timer. Fifty one is the new
thirty five nowadays. And maybe maybe Derek Dear is the
one to think of himself as an old timer, like
he's not old yet.

Speaker 10 (51:17):
He still got it.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
He doesn't want to be one of those old timer
guys and then get on the field and so he
can't do his thing.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I'm a big believer of that, and I'm with him
on that, and I understand that. And dude, I would
never want to be painted as the old guy in anything.
But they're honoring his team. That's where you lose me. Yeah, right,
that's the thing. I agree, because when I have like
friends that let themselves go a little bit, I guess
I'll say and they'll say things like.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Man, we're old now, I'm like, speak for yourself. Yeah
you know, Yeah, I'm with you on that.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Rich.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:52):

correct answers is the champion. If there's a we have
a tiebreaker question, your name is your buzzer, but you

to the next question. Are you ready?

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Yeah, buddy, but just get it over right. It's always
a pleasure to be here.

Speaker 1 (54:12):

no one on the board yet. Let's go around too,
all right?

Speaker 1 (55:06):
What was that once quoted saying about leadership. Leadership is
not about being in charge. It's about showing up when
your team's being honored for the two thousand World Series. No,
I'm sorry, It's about taking care of those in your charge. B.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
I had a picture of.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
He led by example and he inspired me.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Props to my pops or see my friend Max Crosby
is the epitome of a leader. After he sacks me,
I smacked him on the butt.

Speaker 5 (55:38):
Moncy, Okay, yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking
care of those in your charge.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
You didn't say props to my pops. I never said
props to my pops.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
Embarrassment.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
It's not true that you slept Max Crowsby on the butt. No,
he's got a nice honey. I'll get him props for that,
and you love my dad, but I need him out.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Of the news.

sound too confident. I know it wasn't the other guy.

Speaker 4 (56:32):

He was a little worried.

Speaker 4 (56:35):

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Man?

Speaker 10 (58:15):
Hey? Uh?

Speaker 7 (58:17):
The thing came up today on local radio of is
Jorge Posada or swore a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 9 (58:25):
If you had to pick one, Pisada is absolutely a
hall or you said, did you say Sally press.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Or who? They might both be hall.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
I think they're both both stellar. Think of how much
credit cal Raley gets, Oh for a catcher for a catcher.
Look at the steady numbers Pisada put up as a as.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
A hitter for a catcher. Yeah, no, they're both great.
Why not both?

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:54):
I mean, of course, I said, but I think they're
both Hall of famers. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
One was a member of you and by the way,
score four and and Hory Posada doesn't get credit. He
was like the backbone for that. They were like great players.
They're sort of like wimpy players, right, and they led,
They led by this. They were all like, uh, living
in that Yankee code of professionalism. Posada was the only
spine that that team has. You see Posada? Who I
think Pisada should be in the athlete. Well, you can

(59:22):
talk about both of them, how do you what do
you call Covino tonight? You guys can talk about al catchers.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
Can't pelleve Patrick Mahomes got booted out of the studio
for this.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Yeah you got you guys done flirt and I got
I got things to do.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
But have you seen them? Have you seen Hornada? By
the way, on social media? Hot wife? Whoa mamasda is?

He was funny, Like he'll make sexual references to his
wife all the time, and he's funny and he's like
slapping ass like yeah, yeah, they have a really funny relationship. Well,
she's great, I think Matt Lyon it's a great follow
on Instagram.

Him and his wife are really funny as well. They

part of the recruiting.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Has not spoken to Lebron James Wow, yep, bank to
you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
You weren't here the day we speculated, would Clipper fans
embrace if Lebron just from a recu No.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
No, go away, go away? Come on, No, we're good.
We have enough old players. We don't need you too.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
He'd look good in one of your five altern alternatures.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:00:59):
No, he already has enough alternative jerseys.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
He's been with enough teams.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
When I moved out to LA, someone told me it
ain't cool to Clip and that always stuck him a head.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
So that's fine. We don't need him. We don't need
Clip either.
