Speaker 3 (00:16):

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hope you had Nick Kurtz sort of weekend, which was
impossible to have. I mean, who has that great of
a weekend ever? Think about it. You're just inches inches
away from five That's what she said, right, Rich, You're
just what she said, inches away from five dons. You
have four bumps. First rookie to ever do that, six

(00:45):
for six, Like what a stud of a weekend. Hope
you had a C. C. Sabbathia eachz O sort of weekend,
some moving speeches, Hall of famers, congratulations to the whole class.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I watched some of that, Rich, that was fun too.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I mean Nicholas Kurtz, Nick Kurtz nineteen total bases. I
was talking to you earlier saying that even in your
best little league day in your grown ass, you know,
beer league softball, six for six with four home runs
is not something you could do. If I told Cavino
you're gonna play with a bunch of little leaguers today,

(01:21):
you may not even do that. It's absurd when you
think of that stat line. That's why it's never been done.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
And he almost hit five. He almost hit five home runs.
That's a weekend, man, that's a week. That's a month's
worth of stats he did in one day. That's unbelievable.
It's the greatest offensive day we've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's like, what now.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but
he did hit one of those bombs off of a
position player that was brought in to throw meat balls.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Hey ask Jazz Chism how easy that is to do? Though, right,
it's not that easy. But great point. I mean, still
part of the discussion, nonetheless, but six for six Rich
is right. You can't even do that in Sunday softball.
He did that in the MLB as a rookie. So
the best is yet to come for him. So I
hope you had a grand weekend. And congrats again to

(02:08):
Ichiro Suzuki, the consummate professional. I have so much respect
for that guy because he lives by respect and honor.
And he talked about it. C. C. Sabbathia, Captain Crunched Sabbathia,
one of my favorites. A guy you look back on
and you really say, and I hate the saying rich.
They just don't make them like that anymore. A true workhorse.
Yeah right, I mean CC.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yet as some call him, Yes, yes, the Captain Crunched Sabbathia,
who always wore his uniform like it was some comfy
pajamas for a sleepover party.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
He wore his pajamas on the mound, yet worked harder
than anyone else since then.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Two things stand out when it comes to Sabbathia.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
First of all, how much he was sweating during the speech.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
How he's one of those guys that kept the weight
on because it benefited him. And after retirement he's all
trim and slim. Number one, he's great man. One of
the most selfless acts I've seen in sports done by
CC Sabathia.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Ware.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I believe he was like an inning or a strikeout
or something away from some big bonus, but he opted
to throw at the other team because they had thrown
at his team. And I remember the Yankees did still
give him that bonus. But I remember thinking he's a
team player, and I just remember the come playoff time.
Whether it was Milliewaluk or the Yankees, like CC, Sabbathi
always seemed to be a guy in a big spot

(03:29):
that performed at the highest levels.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
And I don't know if I heard this stat right,
but he's the first Yankee starter since Whitey Ford or
something to wear a Yankee hat into the Hall of
Fame starter. I don't know if that's accurate. Maybe Lefty,
maybe that's the stat. But still, he's one of those
guys that, of course you knew he was great always,
but when you look back, you appreciate his stats even

(03:54):
more because you might not ever see it again. The
way the game is today, starters are out in the
fifth inning. This guy is pitching complete games all the time.
Two hundred and fifty one wins over three thousand strikeouts. Again,
he did it all and was happy to see him
honored over the weekend, And like I said, the whole class,

(04:14):
congrats to everybody.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Billy Wagner.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Not too many five to ten relievers in the Hall
of Fame. In fact, he might be the only one
him in Paedro. I believe as far as pitchers Dave
Parker was honored. Dick Allen and Dave Parker Son did
a great job reciting his poem, but some really touching speeches.
I do want to say there's more to life than

(04:38):
Happy Gilmore too.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Those Hall of Fames be well.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Great, but then again we do have to talk about
Happy Gilmore too. Oh yeah, coo. When I thought about
that statue, just said first pitcher. Since what'd you say,
Whitey Ford?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I probably Lefty Pitcher, but yeah, to wear a Yankees
at into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I thought about it, and in the eighties and nineties,
Ron Gidgery's not a Hall of Famer, and then Clemens
cone is pettit's not a Hall of Famer, so key
the stat.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, they're always guys. Mussina was more of an oriole
I guess.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Goos Goasage wasn't always a starter, right, he was more
of a bullpen guy. So yeah, not even tho if
he went in as a Yank.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
So yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
So it's really cool to see these guys honored. And
it was really great to see Ichi Row be the
first ever Japanese player you know who. He paid homage
to a guy that doesn't get enough credit, you know,
speaking of maybe sleeping on Sabbathia's stats, but recognizing it now.

(05:44):
He was giving a lot of props to Hideo Nomo
for just opening his eyes up to the fact that
he could be a big leaguer in the States one day.
Like it never even dawned on him to play American
baseball until he saw Nomo do it. It made it
possibility a reality and we reaped all the benefits. Man,
that guy put up some crazy numbers, some crazy stats.

(06:06):
We were honored to watch him play. Another guy that
they don't make like they used to, and who said
he appreciated his time in pinstripes. He thanked the Yankees,
even though he said everyone's there to celebrate C. C. Sabbathia.
He thanked Derek Cheter. Derek Cheeter, I'm not sure he
even applauded, which rubbed me the wrong way, But he

(06:28):
said it was an honor to play under his leadership.
And he made a joke about the Marlins two, saying
that he didn't even know they were a team, but
was honored to play for them. He just handled the
whole thing well and was really funny in his speech.
No one expected comedy from Eachi Row, but he brought
it and it does make you, again rich appreciate some
of the legends we got to see growing up, and

(06:51):
Dave Parker was so close to seeing his own moment.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know, I know, you know, I think of each
Row and I feel like he's one of those guys
that I know he had little stints on different teams,
But part of me feels like all those years in Seattle, like, oh,
what if he would have been like a postseason hero
had he been somewhere else. But man, just a guy
that you're right, helped pave the way for other international players.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Eachy Row, you know, is a baseball machine. And you
tell me was he funnier than Happy Gilmore too? Again,
his speech was was all the buzz over the weekend
and to.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
The Miami Mullins.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Honestly, when you guys colled to offer me a contract
for twenty fifteen, I have never heard of your team.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Up.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
So congrats to all of them. Because aside from all
the trash TV I watched, I did get emotional doing
a little slow clap to the TV to see some
of our old school heroes recognized over the week. It
was a pretty cool class.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Before we get to your weekend and everyone's weekend of
sports and Gilmore and everything. You said it a few times,
So I want to dissect the phraser you just said,
if you don't mind, because you hear it a lot
in sports, the NBA, NFL, major League Baseball, especially when
it comes to pitchers. My dad finally got around to
watching that Facing Nolan documentary about Nolan Ryan m hm,

(08:19):
haulhol Richie, You and Covino were right. It's a great documentary.
When you say they don't make them like they used to?
Is that pretty much saying everyone now is a bitch?
Aw you calling every Is it pretty much saying you
players that are now currently playing these sports are soft.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I'll give you an example.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Look up look up CC stats, right, two hundred and
fifty one wins, But when you look through his stats,
he has like a nineteen win season and a twenty
one win season. And I forget what Negro league pitcher
it was, but there was a picture that an old
school guy who put the pressure on like you got

(09:01):
to win twenty games, You got to be in the
twenty win game club as an African American, you got
to set yourself apart and you got to win those
twenty games. Dude, who's really winning twenty games nowadays? And
that's something that he took a lot of pride in
twenty one wins to be in that elite club and
to be that it. Starters are out in the fourth
fifth inning all the time. This guy was pitching complete

(09:23):
games left and right. It's not an over you saying.
If it's true. They just don't and the game has
changed so much, but we take these young dudes out immediately,
they're not working them the way they worked a workhorse
like Sabbathia. And in each year, Row just puts up
circus numbers. Dude, he was in the MLB at twenty seven.

(09:45):
He came into the MLB and still ended up with
almost thirty one hundred hits, well over three thousand in MLB.
That's not including the Japanese League because otherwise Pete Rose
would be rolling in his grave right now. And he
still ended with a three eleven batting average played into
his later years. Each Row CC these are old school exceptions, dude.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now, I don't know if that twenty wins is that attainable.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
You're right, even at Dave Parker. Look at Dave Parker stats.
What do you play twenty one years? Nineteen years in
the big leagues.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
It's insane You brought up that twenty win goal for
a guy like CC. Yeah, it's still possible. But as
as we stand right now, two guys have twelve wins.
Two of your Yankees, Max Freed and Rodon both have eleven.
So one of those guys on track for a while,
like maybe sixteen fifteen, sixteen wins if they you know,
that's what you're sort of on track for.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, and you're like impressed. If anyone throws a complete game,
let alone a complete game shutout, it's just a it's
a different game. But it's not just the game. These
guys are not built for that anymore. We yanked them out.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
But is it always a knock on the young guys
when people say they don't make them the way.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
They used to, Like, is it a knock? I mean,
it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a
tribute to the way these guys played. It's not meant
to knock the younger guys. It's not the game has changed.
But they're also made of glass. It seems yeah, maybe
maybe better. You know, but guys like CC. Look at

(11:14):
the numbers. Look how many shutouts he had. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
It's a different company games he had, Cavin.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
You see, every guy, every guy out of your pen,
no matter who your team is, is throwing at least
ninety five back in the day. Only a handful of
guys through ninety five. So can you say it's a
different game. They don't make them the way they used to,
because you know the way they used to. Guys are
throwing eighty eight to ninety one and I was like,
that was some guy's fastball, Like we're they don't make

(11:43):
them the way they used to. But guess what they
used to. They never made them the way they do now.
Where you get a guy throwing splitters that ninety eight
miles an hour, that that was never a thing. So
it's I think it's a trade off.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Well the guy.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, they're they're not pacing themselves. They're just flamethrowers. It's
not the the art of pitching. Guys like CC, guys
like Maddox will tell you that, and that's what they
sort of frown upon, and you know, that's just part
of getting old. I guess you're right, Rich, It's a
different game. But these flamethrowers are not as crafty as
the Beastie Boys would like him to be. You know,

(12:20):
Cec was crafty and just my type. And I believe
he had thirty eight complete games. He had ten complete
games in one season. Guy that went as deep as
he could into every game. And again, a guy built
for that.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I just remember. I just remember, like my grandfather being like,
they don't make cars the way they used to. I'm like, yeah,
but guess what grandfather got Navigation in cars now and
like bucket seats and you know, like comfort back in
the day. Yeah, they might not make a car like
a big, middle Oldsmobile, but come.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
On, I believe Dan Byer wants to weigh in and
everybody could have eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Again,
I'm not trying to tear any newer generation Pitcher down.
There's pros and cons, but I'm just trying to say
that we had a pretty solid class this year, and
the speeches were great and it was cool to see
what's up there.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
Yeah, just a couple of things on that. First of all,
I do want to say, and I'm not trying to
be disrespectful to the Pete Rose fans or anybody out there.
I'm glad this weekend wasn't hijacked by Pete Rose. You
mentioned that earlier. Obviously we lost him, but the storyline
of now when is Pete Rose going to go into
the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Could have you know, we could do this over the next.

Speaker 7 (13:23):
Couple of years before they actually decide, and that wasn't
the case. But what I think is so unique about Sabathia,
and it's a lot of different ways, is Number One,
it's one of those trade deadline deals that I look
as a Brewers fan that I think we all love
and remember and ones that stand out this trade deadline.
Probably isn't going to have that type of player, but

(13:45):
it's really cool when a deal is done at the
trade deadline for a team and then to have it
work out like it did. The Brewers were supposed to
have Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia for that stretch run
and Sheets got injured, so then that's why CC had
to take on the added role. The reason I bring
this up is because Rich your Mets were battling the
Brewers that year for the playoffs and I remember going

(14:07):
to a game in Atlanta the final week of the
year because I did stuff for college football for Fox
and I was in the South, and I'm like, I'm
going to go to the Braves Mets game and cheer
for the Braves against the Mets. So the Brewers could
try to end their drought. And that doesn't happen without
c C. Sabathia coming to Milwaukee, and so there's just
a lot of different branches of a move that can

(14:28):
be made like that. And then you know the Yankees'
success in the World Series. Cements who he is. But yeah,
that's the other cool thing about Hall of Fame Weekend
is there's different fan bases that can take in because
if a player maybe played for one or two or
three different teams that had the Effectlexabatha.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
And I think he's a great example Dan and well
said man, but he's a great example of players I
think that we took for granted because their greatness was expected.
Like if your team was in a slump, CEC was
the type of guy that you know would shut it
down immediately. Yeah, and you just expected that from him.
And when it's so expected all the time, rich you're
not as impressed and you're not surprised, but when you

(15:07):
look back, you appreciate him. And I think there's a
lot of players like that if you compare it to
today's game, like that we took for granted, and you
look at their stats later on, you're like, man, I
don't think I appreciated that guy enough.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I do that.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
I mean music too.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
We've talked about it last year in the year before,
but because there are additional playoff teams in Major League
Baseball and because it's hard, you got to be pretty
terrible to feel like you're so out of it at
this point, because with the third wild card, if you're
playing five hundred baseball, you're not out of it. You're
like a five game win streak away from, you know,

(15:42):
maybe sniffing the playoffs. So Dan, I know you pointed
out like a year ago, and I love the narrative
that you're not going to get as many sellers. And
the trade deadline used to be really exciting because, yeah,
you'd sacrifice some of these rookies. He never knew how
they were going to turn out, but you might land
to Sabathia and that changes the vibe of your team,
and right now when half the league, more than half

(16:02):
the league, is like, no, I think we could still
make a playoff run. Those trade deadline deals, I don't
think you're gonna see them the way you used to.

Speaker 7 (16:09):
I will also bring up this point because with that
year with Milwaukee, it had been twenty six years since
they've been in the playoffs. Now, with the expanded playoffs,
you're not going to have a quarter century drought. You
just it's just not gonna really happen. I mean, is
a team really going to miss the playoffs when you
have you know, six spots for I mean, this is
you know, we were talking about it at one point

(16:29):
where the league only had two spots, and at that
time around it was still tough for Milwaukee where they
expanded it to the divisional series, but it had been
twenty six years and you have a team in contention.
So Milwaukee's like, yeah, let's go out and get them.
I don't think you're gonna have that now in Major
League Baseball because there's gonna be a fan base that
is craving that sort of success.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Dare I say there's less than ten teams that are
quote out of it. You look at the American League.
I know Minnesota got you got the Twins, and the
Angels a little under five hundred, but they're only like
four games out of that third wildcard, which makes you wonder,
Like the you win eight out of ten, you're sort
of in the mix. And in the National League, other

(17:10):
than Colorado, Washington, Pittsburgh and Atlanta, the Miami Marlins are
playing hot. There's six games out of a wildcard, so
I don't think teams are quick to get rid of
that star anymore. But in right, Sabbathia is a great
example of someone that brought so much excitement at trade deadline.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
There are only four teams right now that have a
playoff drought of five or more years, and the Angels
have the longest at ten, The Pirates nine, Rocky six,
and the Nationals who won World Series in twenty nineteen
have a five season drought.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
We just took C. C. Sabbathia, each Rose, Dave Parkers,
guys like that.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
You just took them for granted.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
If you had those numbers now, you'd be like, oh
my god, sign them up, sign them up now immediately.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Each team nowadays has two guys that are batting like
two oh nine. You know it's a different game. But
again not to sound you don't want to sound too
much like the old guy and constantly say they don't
make them the way they used to, because you know
how they used to make them durable. But they all
threw eighty eight, ninety one, ninety two tops now or.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
They were pacing themselves out, dude, But again, the art
of pitching instead of just throwing your arm out.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm just saying, now you get guys out of your
bullpen you don't even know their name. They're like, it's
some young dude you don't know, and he throws one
oh one. I'm just saying, it's if someone threw one
oh one in nineteen eighty eight, it would be known different.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
But that's a different goal. And is it a counterproductive goal?
Is it really that great of a goal? You don't
think CC Sabavia at three hundred pounds six foot six,
could have threw harder. He was practicing the art of pitching,
the dying art of pitching. But again would kill for
those stats. Now and before we play last one standing,

(19:02):
give Way prizes and we give you our review, our
official review of Happy Gilmore two.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Let's wrap up with these phone calls.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Rich, Yeah, let's do it. Who we got, Who we got?
Danny g online one, let's go down.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Yeah, let's start with Matt in West Virginia. Hey Matt
your house show?

Speaker 5 (19:17):
Hey, what's up? Guys?

Speaker 8 (19:18):
First time callers?

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Hey buddy.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
So I have two points to.

Speaker 8 (19:22):
This, first one being that I kind of agree with
people being soft. I was watching a Mariners game earlier
this year, and George Kirk is only going to throw
about sixty to seventy pitches in the game, and I
feel like I throw that many playing we sports baseball
through three innings, So that didn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
But my second point is.

Speaker 8 (19:44):
Like with other sports too, specifically like football. I understand
protecting the money maker in your quarterbacks, but then you
lose that next man up mentality with stories of like
Kate cam or Nick Foles in twenty seventeen where no
one expected them to do anything in the conference championship.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
You know, yeah, you said something about the first the
first he said, a guy who scheduled to pitch sixty
pitches and then they pull them. Covino, I don't want to.
I also don't want to sound like the New Age
guy that's like, you just do get it. But now
I don't think a guy that's crafty that throws eighty
eight to ninety two even gets the look because baseball
is designed now for extra base hits and pitchers need

(20:25):
to throw a hundred. It's honestly, it's a it's a
blame that blame the system because some young recruit. Yeah,
but it's crafty.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
It's it's it's an honest speculation. It's it's fair to
speculate the weekend after you see these great skid in
and you look at their numbers, you know, because it
really was a different game, then hey, the game has
changed that much. If that's the takeaway, then that's the takeaway.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying a young kid, now,
unless you throw a certain unless you throw ninety seven,
you're not even getting a look. So they're they're conditioned
to blow out their armors. Essentially.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Who else we got Danny g All right, let's move
on to Bakersfield, California.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Andrew Drew, what's up, guys.

Speaker 9 (21:08):
I've just been thinking about the pitch clock and how
much does that wear on the pitcher and make it
more of it an aerobic sports kind of more like soccer.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
You know you haven't heard of the playing that much though,
but you really haven't. There wasn't that much pushback. They
got accustomed to it, and I think the fans have
reaped the benefits of that, which is, I don't know,
feels more important to me. I think the games are
a lot better and quicker.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, and you know what, can you know, it's like
moving faster. They talk about how back in the day,
if you want to be that guy that's talking about generations,
back in the day games are short. They just got
long and now they're shorter again. But like when our
parents were watching baseball and the old timey times and
our grandpapies, those games moved along. They move so they're fine.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Who else we got Danny all right? Scott in Milwaukee?
Hey Scott?

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah, you doing what up? I just want to tell
you guys. You guys are incredible. I listen to you
every day.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Thanks. Thanks man.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I just want to think you.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
Guys, you are spot on with CC Sabathia, You guys
probably don't have time to bring up his stat line
for the time he was in Milwaukee. He put he
basically put New life into our franchise. If you take
a look at all the complete teams he had in
about us, not even a three month period. He was
pitching on three days the rest a lot of times.
There's nobody does that. He had no contract on hand,

(22:27):
he was free the next year. He's just unbelievable. Nobody
will ever do again what he did in that short
period of time is it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
In Milwaukee, he had seven complete games, the guy, Yeah
he did it all man, Yo, he knows eleven and
two with Milwaukee and that little stint.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
You know what a crazy stat about that is camno
As you and I both look at his Baseball reference, Yeah,
all those years are Cleveland, all those years with the Yankees.
We all remember that like half a season with Milwaukee
because he was so impactful. We're talking about the guy
that pitch for the time. He was twenty till thirty eight,
and we still remember a summer, one summer of this

(23:06):
guy's life where he pitched to a one point six
y five era. He pitched like every third day, and
he put life into an organization. It just shows you.
You always make the analogy that Nirvana wasn't around that long,
But the impact they had for rock music was amazing.
The Beatles are only around for a handful of years.
CC in Milwaukee was like a summer.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, and a guy. I think he's a prime example
of someone you just took for granted. You're like, yeay,
he's good, he's good whatever. No, he's in today's world,
he's phenomenal. That's why he's in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Again.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Back to the phones, Thanks for the call Man eight
seven seven ninety nine one Fox.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
So now Bruno in Brooklyn wants to weigh in on
Happy Gilmour too as we oh, well, as we find
out who in the studio hated that movie.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Let's move on because this weekend consisted of you know, trash,
haby a lot of that again the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Congrats to all the superstars that made and Happy gilmore to.
It's crazy to think that the original came out in
nineteen ninety six. Right, we're all in different places now.
It's a different world, different life.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, when they did the flashbacks, didn't Adam Sandler look
so young?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Danny? My wife and I had to pause and look
it up. Julie Bowen was twenty five. Sandler and Ben
Stiller were twenty nine when they filmed that movie, so
like we think of them as like back then when
you were a little kid, you weren't thinking that they
were only in their twenties. I felt like there were
grown ups when you were a teenager watching and Happy Gilmore.
But yeah, Julie Bowen was twenty five, and again, Stiller

(24:40):
and the Sandman were both under thirty when they filmed
that movie.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
So I waited all weekend to watch and then finally
got around to it yesterday, and.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Man, I laughed out loud multiple times.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
I got to watch it one more time, wrench because
I don't know, my mind was all over the place,
but I was enjoying it. I did watch the whole thing,
but I had some real laugh out loud moments. There
was lots of great cameos. Rotten Potatoes gave it what
seventy something percent, which was pretty high, and then the
Popcorn Meter was also pretty high.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
When we checked it on Friday, it was at seventy
six percent. We see what it's at today now. Went
to meter gave it a seventy something. But look, fans
have always supported Sandler. The critics never really gave him
the thumbs up. Happy Gilmore. The original was a dumb movie.
But we liked it, so I think, and I'll make

(25:36):
it short and sweet. If you didn't like it, because
you're gonna say it was dumb and stupid, What the
hell are you expecting?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
I feel like that's on you. Were you expecting Showshank redemption?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
It's happy?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore. Were you expecting Goodfellas? Like Scorsese's
not involved here. This is Adam Sandler movie. It's more
of a tribute to the original because there's so many
East REGs and cameos and shout outs to the original.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
That's more of a tribute to anything.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
But I found it to be really enjoyable rich and
I'm I'm sort of a grumpy guy.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Do you know what the total count was, Danny GC
If you could guess how many cameos there were in.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
This movie, Oh man, there had to have been like
fifty cameos.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I would think the number seventy four random appearances from
people in this movie.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
There was a cameo from cameo word.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
If the guy was alive, he'd probably been it, right.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's a cold word. Yeah, he's Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Now, so you gotta believe that from all the professional golfers,
to eminem to Travis Kelcey to bad Money, like it
was the.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Return of Haley Joe Osmon, who was the funny ass
super villain. I thought, I mean, he was great, he
was great. I thought it was so dumb that it
was funny. And that's what you expect from a happy Gilmore.
And I know for fact, Yeah, there's two criticism sitting
in the studio. One of them Spots. I don't know
if Dan Byer grees or not, because Dan Buyer's a

(27:05):
big golf guy. Will find out. But Spot earlier today
said too many cameos, too many golfers, too many unknown
people in your world. Like Spot thought it was overflooded
with cameos.

Speaker 10 (27:16):
I think, yeah, they tried to throw shiny objects at
you to distract you from the mediocre movie that it was.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
And I know, Sam, but I liked the movie. I
loved the movie. Sam hated it.

Speaker 11 (27:27):
Sam, what was your issue with I can't say the same.
I thought the movie was boring. I don't think it was.
I didn't boring. Yeah, it was very boring.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
It was just Phil.

Speaker 11 (27:35):
It was just a lot like Listen. I went into
this movie. I wanted to like it. I love Adam Sandler,
I love the original Happy Gilmore. But I just thought
that the cameos there, it was so there were so
many they were just covering up like a really mediocre,
substandard plot. The writing was mid, the acting was mid like.
It was just ridiculous the back half.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Of that movie.

Speaker 11 (27:57):
I turned it off with thirty five minutes left. Oh
I I finished it Sunday night.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
This was Friday night.

Speaker 11 (28:02):
I watched it, so I think you could't even make
it through. I couldn't make it through in my first
so I would say, like you were like, I might
go back and watch it again. I would never watch
this movie again. I don't think it needed to be made.
It should not have been made.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
It would have done more service to the original.

Speaker 11 (28:16):
It was made some fun nostalgia Forstalgia was when you
used in this way?

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
But what did?

Speaker 11 (28:23):
I have low expectations. I expected to laugh out loud.
I didn't think this movie was funny.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I even thought that Kelsey parts yeah, but his reaction
made me that's just the thing you can use a
movie with with all these cameos, it's just this.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, before I watched Happy gil Moore too, I actually
did the homework assignment which I told everyone, which was
watch the first one so it's fresh in your mind
before you watch the second one and you forget how
dumb the first one was.

Speaker 11 (28:51):
But it had original ideas. It had this idea of
this outsider who want to be a hockey player becomes
a golfer. This was just like regurgitating the same crap,
and then the whole like maxi golf part of it,
and the hips the hip flexing thing was so outlandish.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Sh that was so funny.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I didn't and I thought that was in fact that
the fact that uh, the fact that.

Speaker 11 (29:12):
Had extra torque and well, let's not give away spoilers,
although I don't know how you can give spoilers away
for a movie that's very spoiled, but that's beside the point.
I thought that stuff was so ridiculous. It was there's
nothing funny about it. I just was like I wanted
to laugh. There was only one part that actually made
me chuckle. Nothing made me belly laugh out loud. Well,
that's another part of the discussion.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Sam.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
You can't spoil something that we waited thirty years for
everyone talking about this movie. And then I don't exact
Netflix expect us not to react the Monday after No.

Speaker 11 (29:44):
No, I just if people are listening, they're like, oh,
the hip they don't know what the hip thing is.
They don't know what Maxi golf is that you had.
You had Friday Sentury Sunday to.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Watch Comino's right, I mean this was I'm not telling
you how to get a babysitter, go to the theater.
This was on Netflix. It was at your fingertips. It's
been thirty years in the making. Yeah, if you didn't
watch Gilmour this weekend, shame on you.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
We usually wait one week before we talk about something
everybody watch, but in this case we make an exception.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
But it feels like, what are we not going to
react to Sunday night football? Like you know what I mean?
Like it's a day after millions of people tuned in.
It'd be shame on us if we didn't acknowledge it.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
This is the part of the conversation then where I say, man,
can you believe Happy died at the very end?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Ah, you blew it.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Everybody awaits the opinion of Dan Byer because he's a
man of reason. He's not a movie guy. He's not
a movie guy's never really easily impressed. And he's a
man of golf. But he's also a man of golf.
And I know, I just knowing, Danny has a great
sense of humor. I imagine he appreciates Adam Sandler. So, dB,
here we go. What's your take on Happy Gilmore too?

(30:49):
As the world reacts the world, much like everything, Dan
seems to be divided on. Was it the worst thing ever?
Or was it fun?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Can I give it to you on the other side?
You know what?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Please?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Okay? All right, I can't wait. It'll be the final update.
That's what she said, right, all right, come on.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Let's get you update from say about a damn bire guys.

Speaker 7 (31:13):
Big news of the day is Colorado and football coach
Dion Sanders revealed that he battled bladder cancer this offseason.
Flanked by his doctors, Dion and the doctors had this message,
as the coach is now cancer free.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
We performed a full robot assist at laparoscopic bladder removal
and creation of a new bladder, and I am pleased
to report.

Speaker 8 (31:33):
That the results from the surgery are that he has
cured from the cancer.

Speaker 12 (31:37):
Rick was aware of what was transpiring, and uh, he's
been eight one and down there. Just a blessing came
to Texas to see me as well.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
Colorado having their first camp of the preseason today. Dion
is a full go as again he is cancer free.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Now remember next hour, we got some last one stand
and we're gonna talk about baby making the pros and
cons because someone's a girl dad. Yeah, someone in sports.
But again, the world buzzn't about speaking of the Brewers
with then the Brewers with that big win Camino. Do
you know that the top five teams in the National

(32:18):
League are all within two games of each other. It
is like you would think, like we're talking about we're
one hundred plus games into the season and Chicago and
Milwaukee you're tied. The Mets got a one and a
half game in lead on the Phillies, and right there
in the mix, Danny your Dodgers with San Diego four
games behind them. So it's just really awesome right now,
National League Baseball.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
No, I was good, No, I was gonna say we
could go to I was saying for his big hot
take on Tappy Gilmore. I just I just figured the
National League was worth noting that there's five teams that
are like within a game.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Are you right? I feel like.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
I put my I put the phone caller down, So
I thought you wanted to talk Dodgers really quick.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I don't know what you were like, loose signal in
your car and then the music just picks up again.
That's like Rich's brain just now. I don't know what happened.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
I was gonna say, Covino, I'm on the same boat
as Cove.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
My team is stinking right now.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
What do you mean go to Gilmore?

Speaker 3 (33:12):
What are you talking about? We were talking baseball. You're
the when it brought it up.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
We'll take your phone calls. I'm yeah, we'll get Dan
Byer's review. Well, let's do. Yeah, let's we'll do when
we get back dB. We're keeping everyone on the edge
of their seat. Let's wrap up this happy Gilmour talk
because it's blasphemous to expect anything other than what it was.

(33:40):
Was it a little long? Yeah, it was a little long.
Was there a lot of cameos? Yes, seventy four of them?
But was it still funny?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Rich?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I actually approached this movie thinking.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I wasn't gonna like it, Like I leave well enough alone,
I'm not gonna like this, and I still laughed out loud.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
It's but it's expectations, right. I have a question. Have
you ever had a late night dirty water hot dog
in New York City or Taco Bella three in the morning,
or maybe a little Gyro little Eiro with extra sauce
at like four am after a night.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Of drinking in LA It's the bacon wrapped hot dog carts.
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
You've bacon wrap hot dogs. I mean you eat it
knowing that it's gonna taste good going down. But I
may have a stomach issue in a couple hours because
you set a realistic expectation right when you sit down
to watch Happy Gilmour two. I don't think you popped
the popcorn thinking like you said, you're gonna watch some
Scorsese or you know, some ridiculously well done movies. You

(34:38):
assumed you were gonna get callbacks when you were gonna
get cameos.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Uncle Joe complains about the service at apple Bee's.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
I'm like, dude, it's apple Bee's, bro. Relax.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
He's complaining about the food quality and the service. I'm like, man,
come on, you gotta have your expectations correct now. Iowa
Sam hated it. Before we get to your phone calls
and wrap up. Yeah, we gotta get to the great
Dan Byer. The world can't wait anymore for his review.
Why don't we do it on the other side. No, no,
he's the the Gene Siskel of Fox Sports Radio and

(35:11):
the only real golf guy here in the studio right now.

Speaker 7 (35:13):
I believe that Spot had a point with the egregious
number of cameos, some that didn't resonate. You didn't know
if they were an LPGA star because there were a
couple in the movie that wouldn't resonate, and even some
of the PGA tour stars. I don't think people remember
so I knew, so I agree with Spot on that point.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
I didn't think it was as long.

Speaker 7 (35:33):
It was one of the reasons why I sat down
last night and saw it said like, all right, it's
under two hours, like an hour and fifty six, let's
watch it. I thought vern Lungquist stole the show. I
thought that Vernon Squist was the best part of it.
And if you are gonna watch it and don't have
high expectations. Just tune in for Vern Lungquist alone. I
thought that he was the best. But as a golf
fan guys, I did find the plot somewhat humorous because

(35:58):
I feel that's what live golf kind of thought to be.
So within that golf world, I thought, yeah, people see,
look at how ridiculous this is. And I feel that
that was kind of a reflection on live golf, even
though there were live golfers in the movie as well.
I thought that that part was funny. I don't know

(36:18):
if I enjoyed it, but I did not think that
it was as bad as say Iowa Sam thought or
spot disliking it.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, any other final words, I think that was well
said Dan, and I think there was a lot of
like Rocky sort of tie ins as far as plot.
And I also felt like the plot had to do
with how the bananas are changing baseball or how there's
so many spectacles in the world of fighting, right, and

(36:47):
just a different side of things that we're seeing in sports.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
I thought it was entertaining.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I thought Scotti Scheffler stole the show with one line too,
and Shoota was training all them and Scheffler thinks he's
going to do with a shuffler and they're like, yeah no,
and then the whole jail scene with him, I thought,
and John Daly living in the garage, I thought they
may have gone to the well with one too many
professional golfers. But if you're in the golf world cave,

(37:14):
you know what, do you assume that this is a project.
You jump at the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
And we can't continue on without bringing up the great
Pat Daniels, our very own Dan Patrick, who had several
cameos throughout the movie, which shows you the Sandman. Oh yes,
loves himself some Fox Sports. So look, I wouldn't be
disparaging it anyway, because I would love a cameo. But
I really did like I went there with no expectations.

(37:38):
I thought I wouldn't like it at all. I actually
laughed out loud more times than I thought, and I
thought it was dumb fun. That's exactly what you'd expect
from a happy Gilmore sequel.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Helly Joel osmond as like, like the corny villain was perfect.
I thought, like the fact that he was able to
have a little more torque because it was great, Like
that whole storyline that. I was saying, Hey, I thought
that was so stupid that it was funny.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Sam, You're gonna have a bunch of dudes on the
golf course now doing that Haley Joel Osmond sort of.

Speaker 11 (38:07):
I didn't understand casting him. I thought he was out
of place. He doesn't look like a professional athlete. He's
like four foot seven.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
It's funny. The whole like hip twisting thing I thought
was just the dumbest thing.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
I thought that was funny.

Speaker 11 (38:18):
Out God, and then there was so much CGI in
the movie of like back in the day they used
to just do practical effects for stuff. Now you have
like a CGI ball flying over the place and like
and then like there was I don't know, it was
just Sam was not feeling it.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
But you know what, But I Sam, don't you see
that if you get that, if you get that hip
surgery like Haley Joe Osmor, you could drive the ball
five rgit yards. You don't get it, Like, I very
much get it.

Speaker 11 (38:41):
I don't think there's a whole lot to get Spy,
I get it, Sam, You speak on behalf of you know,
half the world on social media because people just love
to find the things that they dislike as opposed to
what the positives were. But then can I put on
the other on the other shoe. I think people who
were like, oh, I loved it, people saying they loved it,
I'm like, I think you have the happy Gilmore Adam

(39:03):
Sandler Netflix beer goggles on.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Take them off. Watch this movie. It's not good. It's
not You're.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Supposed to take them off, Sam, That's the whole point.

Speaker 11 (39:12):
They're just all they did was all they did was
fall back on nostalgia, and the nostalgia got cheap and
it was like almost stupidly low level on.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
This time too.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Someone here is not getting a cameo in his next film.

Speaker 11 (39:22):
Listen again, I I like Adam Sandler, like, but I'm
not here to pretend to like this movie just because
like Dan Patrick was in it.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
No, but I liked it.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
I did.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
I did.

Speaker 11 (39:31):
I legitimately thought it was not entertaining and not funny.
That's why I thought it found it.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
To be boring.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
I should have told Sam prior to the show today
that his publicist is tuned in listening to us right now.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (39:42):
Sorry, I mean I saw a lot of people who
did not like the movie.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
I liked it rich, and I would never compromise our
real feelings on it.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
If we know you.

Speaker 11 (39:50):
Guys liked it, and there are people who liked it,
it's fine. I just the way the movie was constructed.
I just thought it was all over the place. I
just thought it was a sloppy mess.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
The same Listen, it's the same way where there's any
sequel or spin off or jump off.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
So don't make it. So don't make it. It's just stan.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
If you're a fan of that brand or that movie,
you're gonna love it. Like any cheap reference to Leslie
Nielsen that they make in the New Naked Gun movie,
I am gonna love every time. On Fuller House, when
Stemo said have mercy, I liked it. You're hitting me.
Maybe I'm the dopey demographic, but I think I love.

Speaker 11 (40:28):
When they go to the well on that craft think
we're in the age of reboot and it's just it's
just this is so stale.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
It's so I was saying. I was saying, if they
showed some rkle reboot and Jalia White as a grown
up was like gotten ey cheese, I'd be the guy
that says, yeah, gott ey cheese.

Speaker 11 (40:42):
Like, I don't see the I don't see there's any
ingenuity in there. There's no innovation.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
It's just this. It's a stale regurgitation of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Watched the gumber reboot.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah, I didn't know. I did not see that.

Speaker 7 (40:55):
I may I may have brought this up before, And
I think Danny g can maybe back me up up
on this. It reminds me of when so like when
Tupac died. One of the things was was there's all
these unreleased tracks. Well there was a reason like those
didn't make albums, Okay, like they probably weren't better stuff.
So then when you start releasing all of this old stuff,

(41:16):
maybe it wasn't as good as the stuff that you
put out. And I feel that's a little bit about
like this, like after like after so long, there's only
so much that can can match up to It may
not be like exact, but there are only so many
jokes that you can do. And yeah, maybe if you're
like trying to go back to the well, it's just
not going to be as strong as the original.

Speaker 11 (41:35):
I think that this movie violated a big rule of
comedy is that it was too long, It was bloated,
There were scenes that could been cut out. A good
comedy follow the ninety minute rule. Even if they got
it down to ninety minutes, I think it's I don't
think I would have liked it anyway.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
All right, Sam, Yeah, I saw it wasn't even a movie.
I think it's just a matter of how much do
you want your nostalgia bone to be tickled, massaged, carressed.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Stroked would be the stroke.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah. The movie Love actually was a holiday classic. I
know Covino hates it. I love it. That's irrelevant, that's
not the pub that's not the story here. But speaking
of Liam Neeson, who's going to be in the New
Naked Gun, Spot remembers this. Do you remember, like maybe
five years ago for a charity they did like a
ten maybe a ten to fifteen minute short of where

(42:22):
all those characters are now from Love actually?

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Yeah, yeah, of course, and.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
It was like really well done. For Red Nose Day,
they did like a where are they now? You know
that I feel it in my fingers that that character
the singer they had where Liam Neeson is the sun everything.
I don't know why you wouldn't want to see that
if you loved Sandler and Happy Gilmore. If you watch
it as much as all of us did in college

(42:47):
and high school, why would you say, like, now, you
know what, why would you not want that?

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Well, I'm sure millions of people did watch I can't
see how many. So congratulations because I'm sure when all
said and done, huge success. Yes, And speaking of Fantastic
four made a million dollars more worldwide than Superman's debut
over the weekend, So COVI weekend for movies and box
office and goofy shows.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
I must be a simpleton with this stuff because I
know that they're in the process of making a new
lethal weapon that they're going to involve Mel Gibson and
Danny Glover. You're telling me you're not gonna be waiting
for Danny Glover to say I'm really too old for this,
you know, like they did that.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
It was called lethal Weapon four. It came out like
twenty years ago.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Enough with this, all right, fine.

Speaker 11 (43:37):
Like Danny Danny Glover literally is tool for this ish weah,
and that was one of my favorite film tres. I'm sorry.
I know I sound very negative. I know I and
I don't want to be insufferable with how negative I am.
It's good that people liked it. I love the original
Happy Gilmore. I just found it to be boring and
not funny.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
By the way, I get it. Everybody saying, you know,
I get it. That's there comes a time where it's like,
all right, the nostalgia has been overdone, and I feel like,
you know where we saw that with one of our
legends that passed away recently. There was a point where
anytime Hulkogan came out and they hit real American and
he came out and posed everyone ate it up and
then eventually was like, all right, I think we've done

(44:16):
this too many times.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Well, yeah, he got booed at his last public appearance,
but that was probably for other four reasons.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Yeah, who knows.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
So again with Cavino and Rich Thank you guys like it,
don't like it? Check it out. It's on Netflix. But
people were enjoying it and all over the place with
it over the weekend on social media. We'll wrap it
up with your phone call at eight seven seven ninety
nine one Fox.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Yeah, Nick and Boston, you're on the show.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
It's up, Nick, Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yo?

Speaker 5 (44:46):
I feel the same way. Having Gilmar was fine, but
I think the best entertainment for the weekend was definitely
Finel on Saturday Night with Naburgainsey. Most specifically, they had
Dana car playing Joe Biden. Maya Rudolph was in there
playing Kamoa. But the best part about that whole episode
was the sushi Glory Health Well.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Speaking of going back to the well too many times,
did Nate Bargsey do the old George Washington thing again?

Speaker 3 (45:13):
That was a repeat? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Okay, yeah, all right, okay, so yeah, I know everybody
loves what he's on there. I didn't watch it, but
speaking of some SNL cameos in Happy Gilmore and Bad
Bunny was also the big name involved as the caddie.
So enjoy it your feedback at Covino and at Fox
Sports Radio. Now Rich, Yes, Buddy, I know we're talking
Baseball Hall of Fame and all the moves being made.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
What Thursdays the deadline? Right?

Speaker 2 (45:40):
And Sandler and Happy Gilmore. Over the weekend, your boy
became a girl, Dad Brock, Purty Brock and what's his wife?
Jenna welcomed Millie Joelene Purdy and life just became a
whole lot sweeter. As they said in the post, So

(46:02):
congratulations to Brock Purdy. Now you have to ask yourself this,
and it's a pretty simple question. My first reaction is this, congrats,
It's amazing. It's a wonderful experience. Rich and I both
girl Dad's Rich also has a little son. Danny G
has a little terror named CoA, and a bunch of

(46:22):
grown step sons that give Danny G weggies at night.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah, Danny's g step sons are like Sandler sons and
happy to get more, tim.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Can I can I share with you the one scene
I did laugh at? Yes, Oh yeah, I guess.

Speaker 11 (46:34):
So there was the hal l doll they brought home, Yes,
and they started kicking it around, beating it up, and
they kicked its head off, and then the ballet teacher's
reaction actually made me laugh.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
So I did like that. I thought Boban was funny too,
And you guys are accurate. That does look like my house.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
That right.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
So Danny G has a you know, a whole big, giant,
blended family, but one little rugrat who just got his
first haircut named CoA.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
So cute.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Even though he's what, he's not even two, and he's
six feet tall. It's a big dude. He wears Danny
G's boots. That's how big he is.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
But my first thought, Rich is congrats to the party family.
He's gonna be extra motivated this season, like your boy
Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Right, McCaffrey and Purty both had baby girls in the
last month, which is like, you know, if the forty
nine ers aren't motivated, what will motivate them more?

Speaker 12 (47:26):
So?

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Yeah, let's lead with the positive.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Hey man, they're gonna bond over that chemistry of being
new dads. They're both dads now, they'll talk about it
and bond over it. Maybe build build on that. It's
a great motivator because Yo, s gets real. Life gets real.
When you become a kid, you're responsible for another life. Right,

(47:48):
You're like, Yo, I can't slip and trip and fall
back and mess around like you get next level motivated.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
But then, Danny G.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
There's a flip side, and that flip side is how
tired were you for the past two years when you
were pulling those late nights as a dad.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
I'm still pulling weird out, Ye, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
And I understand they have a luxury that most parents don't,
which is help and everything else nanny.

Speaker 4 (48:13):
But you know what show has been covering this. I've
been watching the Nelly and Ashanti reality show on Peacock,
and Ashanti had her first with Nelly, and it's just
showing how difficult it is for her to pick up
where she left off with her career now that she
has a newborn.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
It's not easy. So that's the point. That's really the point.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Like everybody loves to see the positives, as we should
when it comes to being a new parent, and there's
so much blessing involved and so many exciting things, but
let's be real about the fact that it's not always
that easy. That doesn't mean that you want to hear
people project their experience on you. I know, it's one
of Rich's pet peeves, like, yeah, good luck, sleeping man.

(48:55):
You know, some kids aren't as bad as other kids,
so you may have a completely different experience. But based
on that richest team, the forty nine ers, brock Purty,
big deal, big contract, now has lots to prove.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
He's a new dad.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Do you think there's I don't know, more motivation or
more distraction at home when it comes to playing professional sports,
Cause you gotta still be there to some degree. I
know you're focused on football and that's what brings home
the bacon, but you still got to put especially in
today's world. I'll give you an example. Our dad's maybe

(49:30):
never or rarely touched the diaper. Okay, they helped out,
they got home from work, they helped out.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Let's let's say that.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Today's dad. I see it with my sister and my
brother in law. They got to do everything together. So
it's not like mom's changing a diaper or dad's changing diaper.
They do it together. Everything's together, everything's like a you know,
it's way more teamwork. We saw his kids, Yeah, way different.
So I know he's brock party. I know he has

(50:00):
luxuries that we don't have. I know Christian McCaffrey has
family and luxuries and things like that. But he's still
going to be more hands on than people probably realize
because he's a regular dude and these guys are brand
new parents. So more motivating or equally distracting when you

(50:20):
think of the possible negatives wouldn't be the word. But
let's say added responsibility.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
That and your life is filled with more meaning you Yeah,
you have more of a purpose and so right there.
I know that your head if even if it's slightly twisted,
it goes straight immediately.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
But you know what, with that purpose, you're not just
focused on football anymore. Right, So, like, again, I'm playing
Devil's advocate, cause you know I've been there, We've all
been there. How do you think this is going to
affect the team? I think it's going to affect them
in a positive way. Rich To be honest, I think
and McCaffrey are going to bond over this.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Well, listen, what other than sports teams that you root
for and what you're going through in life is the
number one thing that bonds people. Like That's how a
lot of your friendships as an adult are based on, Like, oh,
my kids and your kids play Little League together, daughters
are in the same dance class, and oh do you
remember when your kid did this? My kid's doing that.
So I think new dads are more motivated than ever

(51:25):
I remember.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
But there are challenges, dude, there are sleepless nights, there
are distractions. Again, not from a negative place, it's just
the responsibility of being a parent.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
I think truthfully that when you are at that level,
and I'm sure you pointed this out at this level.
I'm not saying they're not involved by any means. I'm
not saying that at all. But if you are Christian
McCaffrey or Brock Party, if your brock Party is you
just signed the contract where you're making fifty plus million
dollars a year, you have an overnight nanny, you have
someone that is doing the two am diaper changes and feedings.

(51:58):
Your wife could handle it, your mother in law, your mother,
someone could handle it. I promise you, brock Party is
gonna kiss that baby, hold that baby, be prideful, be
as involved as he could be. But I promise you
brock Party is not gonna be tired in the huddle
because he was doing a three am diaper change. Again,
he wants.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
To The pros are obvious.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
It's a blessing and we congratulate them, but it does
change your perspective a little bit. Football becomes football, work
becomes work, and you realize there's more important things in life.
So hey, wishing them all the best as they make
those adjustments, as we all have. But congratulations to Riches boys. Again, football,
what do we thirty seven thirty eight days away now

(52:38):
thirty something days away. So enjoy it. Why you can
you have some football freedom. We got to do it.
Every Monday, we play Last one Standing.

the Bengals on there now the Bengals were number thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Okay, yeah, you know, watching quarterback you realize how Joe
Burrow still put up such great numbers. But man, they
came so close, so many games, but the team around
him was playing like ass for so long, poor.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Defense struggled throughout the year, and a lot of one
score games.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
And by the way, if you haven't watched Quarterback, I
must watch them. When you're done with that, there's a
show called Building a Band that I highly recommend. It's
not that shabby. If you like trash, reality TV is
a singing competition. Actually Building a band not too bad.
