Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. Yesterday we started
talking about the Portland Pickles. But I feel like that
was perfect because we let the story simmer a little bit.
We let everyone have a chance to see it, hear
about it, and make their own decision. And I want
to ask you, first and first mostly Fox Sports Radio Nation,

(00:39):
was this a staged story or not? Because that seems
to be the debate here. Instead of thinking automatically, wow,
how cool, we automatically think, oh, that's got to be BS,
that's got to be staged. But even if it was,
let's say staged, wasn't.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
It pretty awesome? That's really my spin on it.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Here the Portland Pickles, and Rich described them as like
a collegiate summer league. Yeah, it's a college d one
players that played during the summer to stay fresh, and yeah,
the Portland Pickles. Portland Pickles gave a random fan a
chance to get in the game, and apparently history was made.

(01:19):
Because people are raging about this. They gave a random
fan in that bat for fan appreciation night, So in
sort of a Savannah Banana's fashion, they're like, hey, you,
lucky fan, you get to play with the pickles tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
And that's what she says. His name, by the way,
Eli Stenhouse.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Really you get to play with the pickles tonight? Well,
Eli Stenhouse. Because I don't know why they keep calling
him Dixie and he's the media virus.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
That's his nickname.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh what's his last name? Enormous? So what's his name again, Danny?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Just so I can give him.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Proper credit, Eli Dixie Steinhaus, Eli Steinhouse. Now let me
set it up. So Steinhaus gets in here, they're like
you Steinhouse, random fan, and he's like, yo, no way,
and he reacts like anybody would being picked out of
a crowd, like me, no way. But he turns on

(02:16):
the showmanship. He takes in that bat and he gets
a walk rich and he has his sneakers on. That's important,
has his sneakers on. He's just a fan, gets a walk,
and then he steals a base and maybe he stole
a taco I don't know, on a Tuesday. But the
crowd's like, no way, this is awesome, and he leans
into it and he's doing like his Hulkster thing like yeah, flexen.

(02:41):
He waves up the crowd. Then he throw him in
the outfield.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
They throw him in left field, and he makes a
pretty easy flyball, catch little shag out there, and people like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
No way.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Now automatically, I'm thinking, what do you mean, no way?
If you're a relative decent athlete, or if you have
just minimal baseball experience, it's not that crazy to think
the guy shag's a fly ball.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's just cool to see.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I mean, if this guy's between the ages of eighteen
and thirty, I don't do we know how old he is,
because I was gonna say, regardless if he played any
type of organized baseball or softball in the last couple
of years of his life, shagging a fly ball.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Not a tricky thing to do.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm saying, if you
have any baseball experience, it's not impossible. I mean, I'm
saying it is easy man to catch a fly ball,
a routine flyball on the outfield if you have any
level of baseball.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, how like, that's not a hard thing to do.
But then Rich he gets one more at bat.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Here's here's here's where it gets good. They leave this
fan fan appreciation night. They leave this fan in for
one more at bat.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
This is like everybody's fantasy at a major league game, right,
Like the Yankees are so frustrated.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Boone's like you and I'm like, yeah, you get on
the mound.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You're like what, this guy gets another at bat and
listen to what happens.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Hey, y'all catch.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Left celler fet you kiddy gone.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
By the way, that's a collegiate league. That's a great call.
Letters one word? Is that really what he says? Four letters?
One word.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Gone. This dude hits a home run as a fan
who just entered the game, and the crowd goes nuts
and the rest is history. Again Eli Steinhaus, they called
them Dixie, So Dixie delivered. Now the story goes viral,
It's all over social media. The crowd went wild, The

(04:58):
call was great, the moment was awesome. But everyone's saying
that this Portland Pickles thing was staged.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Even if it was, you can't.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Guarantee a home run in that moment, you think it's
that easy to just hit a home run. But is
it impossible that it was just a fan who has
a good swing. Rich if they picked you out of
the stands, you're good enough to hit one out.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
If you get a hold of one, it's not impossible.
So I'm here to say, I'm Steve Cavino. I believe
that clearly this kid had baseball abilities. He had skills,
maybe even better than the team he was watching. But
he's a baseball fan. It's not crazy to think a
baseball fan has some ability.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I think they picked a dude who was pretty good,
and he had a really awesome moment.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't believe it was staged. I mean, I don't
know if it was.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
You can't stage a home run.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
You can't. You can't guarantee that.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
But however, I do think that maybe they're like, we're
gonna put this kid in.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
He could play again. This is collegiate summer ball.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's competitive, but if you played at a level, I
guess that there's a chance you can make contact if
he knows the fastball's coming. I think it's a great
fun story, but I think what you said is more interesting.
What are those fantasies we all have because anytime you
you've been at a stadium and you grab a baseball
and it's one of those displays where it's like see
how fast you could throw? I always, as a kid,

(06:26):
was like what if they see me and they're like
he's got perfect mechanics and they're like, hey, the Met's
bullpen coach wants to talk to you, or honestly, I'll
give you a sleazy one. Every time you were like,
you know, an adult establishment, you would assume like, yeah,
she you know, she's in love with me?

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Like this.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
You know, well remember that time the Hawaiian Tropics bus
broke down.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
They needed an oil boy.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, I sent them to the I sent them to
the town a couple of miles up the road. Yeah
you opity. I mean that's everyone's like.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
If you're an extra on the set and you're an actor,
or if you're an aspiring actor or actress and you're
on the set, you're wishing that like I don't though,
Scorsese makes eye contact with you and they're like, wait
a minute, Okay, you kidd You're the one hold on for.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
All the naysayers and by the way, you could share
your fantasy. That's fine, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
But for all the naysayers that are quick to say
this is a stunt, like Rich said, to guarantee a
home run, that's like, that's not a guarantee.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
If it's a stunt.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
It if it's a stunt, it was a really well
executed stunt.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay, then how do you explain this? I think you're
putting these players on the team on a pedestal and
forgetting that other people have a particular set of skills.
This guy could be a decent baseball player. How do
you explain Dave rolls on stage and he's performing, yeah,
and he's like you do you play?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
And the kid's like yeah, and he gets up there
and he shreds. He gets up there and he shreds
because he plays. You think that's stage. Why are we
putting these people on a pedestal like they're they're gods
and we can't like have any skill of our own
to hold our.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I know what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
We didn't pick a kid out of the crowd and
be like all right, guard Lebron James, Like it wasn't
it wasn't that Dan buy?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
What do you think? Man?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Well, first of all, like for a nine year old,
they have like front row tickets to the Foo Fighters.
There's got to be something like of course the drums kids. Yeah,
like that happens all the time.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, it's totally staged. That's why.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yes, yes, because it is.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
The man Beyonce brings up some girl to harmonize. You
don't think they've gone over this? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Right, Oh my goodness, No, not all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
There's there's often times at rock shows they'll see some
dude singing his heart out the whole time. They may
even hold a sign up and be like, yo, I
want to come up and play with you, and the
artists will be like can you play? And they'll be like, yeah,
I can play. All right, let's see what you got and.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
They turn it out because they could play, just like
this guy could play baseball.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
He got a hold of one. It was a cool moment.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
This is the Barry Bond steroid arguments, right, Like you
could take as many steroids, hgh, whatever you wanted, but
you still have to hit the baseball exactly. And that's
what I think Cavino is trying to say it is.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
It is Dan, And you know, I have one last point,
and I do want to talk to everybody. Was the
stage or not becomes the debate here and your other fantasies.
But if you really dissect that at bat, they weren't
trying to give them a meat ball. They were trying
to strike this kid out. They were trying to pitch
around them. Watch back the clip. I watched the ball
he hit.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
A home run on seemed like a seventy mile an
hour down the middle fastball. I'm not saying I'm hitting
it out, but I'm just saying, it's not like this
collegiate summer league. Someone threw some Adam Wainwright, you know,
twelve to six breaking ball.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
That was that bucket.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
But you're not debating that this kid was a good
ball player. Yeah, no, that's obvious, right. But is it
impossible that a good ballplayer was just a fan at
the game?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
No? Why is that impossible? Listen?

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I was arbitrarily picked once and I said this, and
I was not in on it. I was not like
in the media at the time. It was like we
picked Rich Davis. I was a college kid and I
had the chance to shoot three pointers during a TV
timeout in the Carrier Dome up at Syracuse, every three
pointer was like one hundred bucks. And I have told
the story, and I was honest where I air balled

(10:18):
the first one because I had never shot a basketball
with a clear backboard with twenty thousand people in an arena.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I hit a couple.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I think I walked to it with like three or
four hundred dollars. I got hot for a second, but
then cold again. If they would have accidentally picked like
some kid that played high school basketball, I get what
you're saying.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
You could arbituily pick a win.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Just because a guy shows a little bit of skill
level that means a staged or no, that dude.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
They picked the dude who was a fan. He's at
the game and he actually is pretty good. You know,
that's not an impossible thought. And then again, like you say,
you people are throwing the word stage out there, like
it's so easy to just come up there and can
I ask you?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Can I ask you a real question? And it's a
little dirty, so part of me. If you got kids
in the car I mean, I would expect nothing less, right,
I smut Davis.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I would say I just looked at me and gave
me like them tumba like, no, no, careful, Rich, Let's
just say you're scrolling around some inappropriate Let's say you
stumbled across some inappropriate content on the internet.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Cavino, Okay, it's happening, and it's uh so and so
with a fan.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Do you believe some of those women will like film
with a fan or do I believe it? Or do
you think it's like a professional but he's calling himself
a fan for the video?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
No?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean I believe there are stage moments like that
for sure.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Like when some buses were driving down the box it's like,
hey you, hey, kid, want to get in the bus
with these ladies? Like, do you think that kid is
arbitrarily on the street.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, a lot of those are stage. There's no question
about that. That's just the gimmick, right, like, hey, we're
picking people up. Today's your lucky day. Yeah, right, a
lot of that stage. But I do believe that there
are times that they throw offers out there to fans.
How about the cash cap? Do you think that's always stage?
Let's hit up our guy, Ben Bailey.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I do remember that show, and he said it wasn't
He said they would randomly pick people.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Damn Buyer, you're a great golfer?

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Is great?

Speaker 2 (12:20):
A good word can I say?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
But if you were covering that's why I was silent.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
If you were covering some big golf tournament for Fox,
which I'm sure you have over the years, Dan Byer,
big shot here at Fox Sports dB.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
If if they were.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Like, hey, we're going to do a media contest for
ten grand, then we pick a name out of the
hat from Fox Sports, Dan Bayer, Do you think you
could hit a putt in the pressure situation?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Would you would we be shocked or you think you'd like,
that's possible.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
It's doable, Like I like in this situation, it's a
great hit a bomb like it was. It wasn't cheap,
it wasn't just over the left field, wasn't a Bartolo
cologne like just throwing the bat out.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
It was a shot.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
And so like that's that's like the part. And I'm
gonna get to your I'm gonna get to your question.
But like for Caveno to think that they're just gonna
like put some sixty two year old with arthritis in
his knees is the fan of the game, Like it's
that that's not going to happen. You want the fan
to be able to do something, and he did something extraordinary.
I don't know how you could stage a home run,

(13:26):
but I think that you pick someone that can be fun,
because that's what these minor league, summer league baseball leagues
are all about.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
So you're saying they may have knew the possibility was there.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, like the Yeah, they knew that the kid didn't stink,
just like they knew that the nine year old can
play electric guitar at the concert.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
But at the Ryder Cup in.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Twenty sixteen in Minnesota, a fan was heckling the European
team and they called him out. They said, all right,
one hundred bucks, you make this putt justin Rose. I
even think you could probably see the video. Put one
hundred dollars down, said all right, hundred bucks. If you
make this pot, it's yours. The guy came out. If
it doesn't go in the hole, it's forty feet past.

(14:07):
But it went in like it was cooking, and everybody
went nuts. That to me is the randomness of it,
of in a spur of the moment thing. I just
don't think that this level of athlete that was playing
in the game. Was I don't think that that was
a coincidence.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
It was random, but not. Yes, Okay, I'll give you
an example.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
I don't want to create a I don't want to
kill the illusion of all of our hopes and dreams.
But I've been in the audience on the Price is Right.
Before the price is right, they go to every audience
member and they're like, hey, tell me your backstory, tell
me about your life, tell me a fun fact.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
They interview everyone. It's not arbitrary.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Come on down the late great Rod Roddy. It wasn't
picking out of a hat. It was oh, Dan Byer,
he's here with his you know, family in town, and
you have a fun fact about you. They are finding
interesting pe people in the crowd, so it's not arbitrary
when they say they're not people. Yeah, so I agree.
It's that's part of pre screening. Man, that's not It's

(15:08):
still sort of random. They're just doing a little bit
of due diligence.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
I'm talking to three guys here. Sorry, I just want
to make this point. Three guys, if you would take requests,
how legitimate are requests in radio?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Not at all?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Hey, Anny, any that taking me my favorite lot, Yes,
I said for twenty years. Yeah, I'll try to get
that on for you. Yeah right right, Oh you want
the most popular song in America, You got it. We
only play it three times an hour already. But you
know what it's going to be coming up later on.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
That's the funniest thing.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Can I hear Taylers Swift? You know you could always
say yeah, yeah, we'll get that on for you. Way
to ruin the secret, damn.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
But hold on.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I do have one last little nugget for the story,
and I want to hear from everybody again. We're talking
about the Portland pick holes and Eli Steinhaus, who is
the random fan on fan Appreciation Day that went yard
in dramatic fashion, the crowd wind nuts.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
It became such a story. I'm assuming most of.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
You saw it scrolling doing the ball scroll that the
club offered him a contract. Now I read that it
was a one day contract, but I saw the video.
The video made it seem like they gave him a
contract for the end of the year till the end
of the year, and he accepted. So that's where the
story ended as far as I know. But was it
staged or not? Is the question.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think it's a great story. It's funny regardless of
whether it's staged or not. But again, oh, by the way,
do you know why people think stage too rich? Because
when they see the clip of the home run, he's
wearing cleats. That's why I pointed out before that he
was wearing sneakers in his first that bat. But it's like,
is it that hard to believe that they gave him
a pair of spikes in the clubhouse? Like, because in

(16:42):
the second at bat that he takes he's wearing cleats.
I think if you put one hundred guys of his
level talent up there, only a couple will get lucky
and rise to the occasion and hit a home run.
Even if it's a fastball that.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Was Jazz Chisholm, you're not guaranteeing a home run. He
only hit three in the home run derbit. Know what
else is funny too? He shows he comes out there
in shorts because a en, he's just a fan.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
He's like hey, and.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
He steals second and slides into shorts. He put on
a show for the fans. It was kind of funny
to see.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Not even joking when I say this, If this kid
is a ballplayer that played at some collegiate level, or
you know, maybe he got scouted in high school, never
made it. Just a dude that knows how to play ball.
Do you think this is a window to a Bananas tryout?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I do, Yeah. I thought about that.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I showed the clip to my parents and they said
the same thing, like, maybe maybe Banana's life. Yeah, maybe
the passion level and he seems like a charismatic young dude.
Maybe maybe this gets him a tryout with the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, he's got to learn how to do a cartwheel
or a flip or get some skills on stilts, But yeah,
I think it it it earns him a tryout, for sure.
It'd be a good story.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
If he's real.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
I just got off the phone with the Portland Pickles
front office and nobody there can give me this guy's
contact information.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
They were like, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
This just feels it feels very minor league baseball, where
this is what they do to get attention.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Hello, Pickles. Sam heard me talking to them.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
You know, you know that is true, and it's a shame.
That's why we bring it up.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's a shame that we have to always approach every
fun story from a skeptic standpoint because everything's in attention
grab or an attempt to get likes on social media.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
This is what you thought about Roll, This is what
you thought Covino about the Browns photographer supposedly falling in
the water.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Now yeah, yeah again, yeah exactly. I'm like, you know
what this is stage? I did think that was stage,
because everything, unfortunately, is used as a way to go viral.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know what I want to I just I'm gonna
take the approach I like, which is I want to
believe it. I want to believe in alien walked in
front of a ring doorbell Compton. I want to believe
that Rudy really was carried off the field Like that,
don't ruin it for me, Joe Montana and your facts.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Did you see that alien in Compton?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, that's I want to believe in it.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
I'm telling you, it's so much more fun to believe it.
That's what I'm saying. That's it's more fun.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Like every time a story comes up, skepticism is as
you say, could you know the lead vibe?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
But even if staged, they pulled off one of the
coolest what would you even call this stunts?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Stunts in.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
A long time that we've seen in years because everything
has to go perfect. I've seen, I've seen the opposite,
and the opposite sucks.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
How many times have you been to a Lakers game,
or I'm sorry to say a Clippers game or some
game where they're like, at halftime, we're gonna have this
person shoot or we're gonna get people if you could
do a lay up, a free throw, and like they're
just a hopelessly terrible athlete. Yeah, they can't even make
a layup. Cavino and I were in Vegas once and
I won't throw the sponsor under the bus, but we
didn't event where they flew us out to Vegas to
host this cool event and it was with NBA legend

(20:08):
John Sally. They set up this whole big ass setup
for a fan to take a million dollar shot, right
And when I tell you, Danny, this million dollar shot
was throw it over a volcano, over a car one
hundred yards away, and then they handed the basketball to
some little old lady and I'm like this, well, like,
what have.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
We been doing here, kim me? Do do you remember
that one.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
It was.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
It was a I was like, this is this is
the if they give it to a young kid, and
it was a half court shot.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Make it fair, make it fun. And I like this
story a lot. It's a good I'm glad you brought
it up. Yeah, I forget chasing, forget chasing MJ as
the big whale. We want for an interview on the air.
I'm not going to rest until I get Dixie on
the show.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Dixie.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, I was gonna say Danny crossed off stallone and
Jordan and all the other wishless guests Tom Brady, No, no, no, Dixie.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Let's wrap up the phone calls. Was this Portland Pickles
story where the random fan hits a home run? Was
it staged or not? Or what are your thoughts?

Speaker 3 (21:12):
I think it was.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think it could be staged, but also an amazing
coincidence that the guy delivered. It could have very well
been like, yo, he looks athletic. Oh he struck out. Okay,
So you and I actually do disagree because I believe
that they did pick a fan. You think it was
arbitraarers could be, but they picked a fan who could
actually play.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
And I don't think that's impossible to believe.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Okay, that's enough.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
You know, our buddy Mike and Cincinnati said Cavino probably
also believed. This a great old school reference. If you
watched wrestling, remember the wrestler earthquake. Yeah, remember how he started.
Jimmy Hart picked like just a fat guy in the
stands and he's like you, and then then it was
like a plant the whole time, like he became a heel.
Not everything staged, but you know, maybe this was. Let's

(21:58):
go to Pat in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Hey, Pat, how you guys doing. I just wanted to
share a story. I played a three inning game in
Camden Yards with Scott McGregor, a former major league pitcher,
throwing pretty fast, and I'm a twenty year old guy.
Hit one off the wall, so and a bunch of
people actually did well. No one hit it over. But

(22:20):
it was a regular baseball game. We all played the field,
so hitting a ball out, you know, is probably yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I do you know, not too kiss ass, but you
know who we should probably ask later our boss. I
don't know if he wants it out there, but he's
done like fantasy camp, like when you wear former big
leaguers pitch against you, you could you take swings like
and I'm sure some of those guys that you got
the money and time and you are in shape enough
to go to like a professional Major League Baseball fantasy camp.

(22:49):
You know, you don't think some of those thirty forty
fifty year old guys could still rip the ball.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
I do.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think we're giving way too much credit to there's
still mere mortals and these are co lead you athletes.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Man, they just picked a dude who was good, if
not better. Yeah, okay, it's a great point. It's a
great point. Let's say how to Eric in Illinois.

Speaker 7 (23:08):
Eric, you're on, buddy, Hey, good afternoon, good show.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Thanks man, always always trying our best.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
What's up, man, you're good enough.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
I just when you brought up the fact that he
was given a contract when I was a kid and
I'm seventy three to the Cardinals if you caught a
foul ball, that you were supposed to hold it up,
and then the hushers would of course come over and
check and see if you're okay, but they would offer
you a workless but a contract with the Cardinals for
catching the foul ball. And I just always thought that

(23:38):
was cool.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
That is pretty cool. By the way, I love his endorsement,
We're good enough, Dandy.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I was actually gonna text you new production Covino and
Rich they're good enough.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
I mean, honestly, it's pretty fitting. I'll take it. I
like it.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I appreciate that. And by the way, I do think
that's pretty cool. It's like Rich Davis and myself we're
both words of Scotland.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
I don't know if you guys know that.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, true story, because we actually own one foot right,
one foot wall.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
We both own one foot of property in a field
somewhere in Scotland. So we're official lords by definition if
you we own a square foot of land. We have
a car that says we are lords of Scotland.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Wow, sounds like a bad morning show bit.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
I'm an official Duke of Hazzard, Kentucky. Seriously, I've got it.
It's one z but I've got the proclamation well, as
is my wife and son.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You know, speaking of you, said the Duke of Hazzard. Coincidentally,
today is the twentieth anniversary. Twenty years ago today, in
five Jessica Simpson came out in those Daisy Dukes just
a little time stamp. That was twenty years ago, the
remake of Dukes of Hazzard, which is damn times flying.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Coincidentally, I spent extra time in the bathroom today with
a whole other story.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh that was a Duke of Hazzard's Taco Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Bro Let me hat you up with something. Then we'll
go to dan by Front. Up.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm gonna pose a question. I'm gonna let you simmer.
I'm gonna let you think about this, and then we'll
go get Dan's update. You mean Duke of Hazard, Kentucky
Dan Byer, Yes, Duke.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Thank you. It's in my Twitter profile by.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
The way, so Cove, we made a bet in the
beginning of the season one thousand dollars whoever had the
better record Mets or Yankees, and then we up the
ante one hundred dollars additionally for each game that the
team is better. So let's just say the Yankees had
a fifteen game better record than the Mets. That's fifteen

(25:34):
hundred bucks. No, I'm sorry, that's twenty five hundred dollars.
If they're three games better, thirteen hundred. As of right now,
with fifty games to go, the Mets have been playing
not great.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
But like I said earlier, they're losing. The Yankees are
losing in dramatic, unbelievable, embarrassing fashion, like you can't write
it worse than they're playing right now.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, much like our good friends at DraftKings or all
the great gambling sites out there.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
They give you payout options.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
If you're trying to do it like a dealer or
no deal with me.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
If you get let's say you have a six leg
parlay and you've hit four of them, they'll be like, hey,
if you want to cash out, now, here's the offer.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
So the Mets are up three games on.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
The Yankees, trying to cash you out.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Bro, the Mets are up three games on the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I'm gonna give you the chance right now, because if
the season ended today, you would owe me thirteen hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I'll give you that you might.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'll give you the best bud discount since we've known
each other for years. I'll kick off five hund though,
if you want to end the bet now eight hundred.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I don't feel like that's a solid deal. I don't
do it.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
The banker's ripping me out. If you're only up three games,
you're up three games. You're not really cutting me a deal.
If you said five four hundred, that might be like deal.
I'm out of it because the Yankees suck. But like
you're only up three games, you're overly confident to even
think that's a deal. I thought I was being very generous.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I don't think your team is all that good. I
know my team's better than they just have like a
curse on him or something.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I got alright, So no deal. Well let me think
about it. Don't you go open another suitcase? Then let's
go to damn Bier.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
The duke. What's up? Duke?

Speaker 4 (27:19):
What's up? You know had aduceive hazard? Is that what
you called it earlier? The deuce of all right, we
got a bunch of news in the NFL. All corners
of the NFL, Shoudoor Sanders is going to start a
quarterback for the Browns and their preseason opener coming up
Friday against the Panthers. Other quarterbacks on the roster, ding
dub Joe Flacco's a veteran. He's not going to play,

(27:41):
so it goes to Shodoor Sanders. Of course, the team
signed Tyler Huntley yesterday, Colt said. Coach Shane Steiken says,
Anthony Richardson is going to start against the Ravens Thursday
and play into the second quarter. He'll be relieved by
Daniel Jones, who will finish out the first half.

I'm Cavino.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
That is Rich Danny g super producing on the phones
at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And before
we talk bone, Rich, let's take one last phone call
about your pickle. That's what I said. They want to
talk about Covino's pick and the quote unquote stage home
run that's gone viral.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's a really cool moment, no matter how you look
at it. What's up, Chris?

Speaker 8 (29:15):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
So? Uh?

Speaker 8 (29:17):
Yeah, apparently not only is he a fan, he's a
intern for the Pickles, and he's the starting second baseman
for Lois and Clark College.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Oh do you team up in a big moment? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (29:33):
You know.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Do you think that's why the team wouldn't get me
his contact info?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Maybe because he's Yeah, I mean, listen, it's just a
good story. It worked out right. It's like they took
a funny chance. I got this kid could play. We'll
have him be the the fan of the day. I
think it's like half stage and God, they got lucky Covi.
You know, again, these viral moments happen, and a lot
of times they just get lucky.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
And I think it was a great.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Lucky moment for that organization and if you haven't seen it,
definitely check it out.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And Rich before we talk NFL. Yeah, I did find
that promo interesting of two pros and a cup of
Joe when they were talking about the Speedway Classic Baseball game.
You were trying to figure out the correlation between racing
fans and baseball fans, Like, if you were to cross

(30:19):
examine sports, baseball fans are most similar to what other
fans like. It's easy to say, like maybe fighting in
UFC have a great crossover of fans, like boxing in
UFC or boxing in soccer, because so many Hispanics love
so many Latin American countries love boxing also loves soccer.

(30:41):
There's probably a lot of crossover fans in my mind,
Like I mean, I'll give you one again. It's the
closest to football. These are all stereotypical.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
But I would say college football and NASCAR to me
has a big crossover.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, I never really looked at it that way. How
about wrestling in NASCAR?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Yeah, I would think so it's you know, uh, it's
kind of interesting because maybe like bad, I would say
all four major sports have pretty good crossover.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Now of fans.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, hot dog eating and oh hey that's not one
of the form majors. Major, but anyways, something to think about.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, so bon Nicks, we gotta talk, gotta talk some NFL.
And bon Knicks is getting an endorsement from his coach,
like a good coach should write, show confidence in your
young star. But it's not just like, yo, my young
star is good. Bone Knicks is being called the next
big thing.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
He's being called elite. And remember you can't spell elite
without eli.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
According to Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos,
on bon Knicks, he's gonna be one of the top
four or five quarterbacks in the league the next two years.
So he's saying this year and next year, you're gonna
see bon Knicks. In that conversation with the you know
Lamar's and the Joe Burrows and the Mahomes and the
Josh Allens, he's pretty much saying, put bow Knicks right

(32:07):
up there with them. And it did get me thinking
that that first of all, that's the confidence you want
your coach having your quarterback. When a coach has his guy,
and that seemed to be the scenario for Champagne that
he Bo Nicks was the guy he wanted, and that's
sort of why it all makes sense there in Denver, Right.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
Yeah, he went out and knew that that was his guy. Remember,
he even didn't let everyone else in the organization know
he was going to target him because he wanted to
keep it private.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
So Bo Knicks is who Peyton wanted got him. Now
he's saying, I knew all along what everyone else is
about to find out. I got one of the best
quarterbacks in the National Football League. He feels that way
about Bo Knicks.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
It's a great endorsement.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Like you said, Rich, but quote unquote, the next big
thing isn't always a guarantee.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
So I'm glad you said that.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I want this conversation to go in a more fund
I want to talk about the not so next big
things we are going to get to, Like you said,
some trivia giveaway, some prizes. We'll take your phone calls
on the not so next big thing. But I just
read something that got me excited as a forty nine

(33:17):
percent as we talk about football, Danny, this should get
everyone a little scared in the NFC West. Maybe maybe
not everywhere, but Robert Sala apparently is devising new defensive schemes,
and people are saying, Niners training camp. This guy is
like a madman on a mission to prove like he's
the best defensive mind in football.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
That's what happens when you leave the Jets.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
They're saying he's cooking up some stuff. They're saying they're
seeing schemes Dan Bayer they've never seen before. We're talking
the nineer is going to revolutionize defensive football.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
If I'm gonna have to deal with this propaganda fest
for the next twenty five weeks, I don't know what
I'm gonna do with myself.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Oh my goodness, tell.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
You Robert Salah is gonna do you know how Bill
Wallash years ago invented the West Coast Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Robert Sala's got something cooking.

Speaker 7 (34:03):
I know.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Like Cavino always starts the show and he like cheers
for everybody's favorite teams, even if they're not.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
You know, if they're not playing.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Is like, there's no way that I can even root
for anything possibly good, remotely good happening to the forty nine.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Erst Come on, Wow, thanks d bat dude, thanks Debate. Well,
you know, Cavino, I gave you the offer and you declined.
If you're joining us now, I say, Cavino, if you
want out of this Mets Yankees, bet, I'll give you
a five hundred dollars discount eight hundred bucks right now.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
And you said no.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
You gave me the deal or no deal. And I'm
saying no deal because you're only up by three games
and it's like fifty games left. Why are you so
overly confident in your crappy Mets? And I get it.
It's not that I don't want out of it, because
I do. I think the Yankee suck. I just feel
like you gave me a bad deal. That's really it.
I'm not a sucker. So yeah, I'm saying no deal
for now. But if you have any thoughts eight seven

(34:54):
seven ninety nine on Fox, And if you want to
chime in about Bonnicks eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Are you play hold on?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Are you highly confident at least though that the Yankees
will find a way to turn around enough to make
the postseason or do you think one of these teams,
like the Guardians or someone might sneak up.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Dude, head of the Snake cut it. I know, Judge,
boom back tonight. Booney needs to give some repercussions or
consequences or something because they're playing like like.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
As if this were the eightiess brot straight cheeks. If
this were the eighties, Steinbrenner would have hired and fired
Lou Penela and Billy Martin three times.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Ready.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
I like Boone, I'm never that guy that's like fire
them at never, But it's like, enough's enough. I've never
seen such amateur baseball and and just mental errors and
just unbelievably terrible. Not to harp on your Yankees, but
they are making some little league plays where guys are
getting like ges Chishom got doubled up on an infield
pop up the other day, Like, I mean.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
He had a he had a decent excuse that was
like the tip of the iceberg. He said that he
thought he was getting deeked, like they were gonna let
the ball drop and try to go for the But
it's horrible guys, I mean, teams lose and then there's
like really bad, heartbreaking losses. That's what the Yankees have
been doing constantly. Now back to the NFL, Sean Payton

(36:12):
thinks that bow Knicks is going to be elite, says
he's going to be one of the top four or
five quarterbacks in the league in the next two years.
That's courtesy of Yahoo Sports Charles Robinson and I got
another update too, rich in regards to Bo Knicks spent
time with Drew Brees this offseason. Broncos coach John Payton
revealed that Nicks visited Breeze four or five days for

(36:35):
four or five days to learn from him and discuss
the offensive scheme.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Nicks also works with.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Tom House, a well known throwing coach, as part of
his offseason development. So he's putting in the work and
that's why he believes in him. That's his guy, and
he's hyping him up as any good coach, shit.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Coach, right, Think about what we're talking about here. I
don't think it's Blind's confidence. I don't think it's BS either,
because if Bo Knicks is the guy that chempayge and
wanted m hmm, Sean Payton, I mean, clearly you could
see what he did with Drew Brees back in the day.
He knew what he had with Breeze. They won a
Super Bowl, they were elite for years. In fact, many

(37:12):
think they should have won more than won Super Bowl
in New Orleans with that Saints team. If if Trump
Payton feels like he could replicate that, and he sees
what he saw in Breeze and he's having him sort
of mentor bon Knicks that that does bide well for
Broncos fans. But here's the question. The question isn't is
bon Nick's going to be elite and great? The question
is when you say that someone's going to be the

(37:34):
next big thing, what are other things that come to
mind that were not quite the next big thing? Athletes, bands, products,
things that you thought were going to be the next thing,
and it just like fizzled.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Can I rattle off just the first things that came
to me because I hate a little pocket of thought
and I just wrote all this stuff down.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
One of the first ones, speaking of the Yankees, Jaba Chamberlain. Man,
he was supposed to be the next big thing. He
had his own set of rules, he changed the game,
he was on a pitch count. Everyone babied him, and
he really, I mean, he fizzled.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Remember him and Hughes and all those young guys that
were coming up the same time.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Phil Hughes Jaba Chamberlain was one of those dudes. And
I'm not hating on him. I'm just stating, you know,
I really feel like he was that guy because so
much was surrounded around that guy, Greg Odin. I just
remember him being supposed he's supposed to be that the.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Guy and he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
And Zion I still feel is that guy.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Can I well, Zion was supposed to be a generational guy.
He's still a guy that could take over a game.
But when Zion was ripping through his shoe with Duke
and we were at ESPN at the time, remember being
in the newsroom and everyone's like, this guy, who's gonna
be the.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Next next big thing?

Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's really what I remember when the when the draft
happened and everyone was hoping the Knicks got that pick
because they've you know, had fantasies about what if Zion
played at the Garden He's the next big guy.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
That's a great example.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Y two K. Remember the hype about Y two K.
We survived it, but we survived it was like all
that hype was the next big thing and nothing, it fizzled.
How about this as far as products mini discs that
was supposed to be the next big thing.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Mini discs fizzled, could you know?

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, it's It's funny you would say that because I
thought of one in the world of like you know,
like technology and a couple of sports ones, and I
got a bunch of music ones. When I think back
to my baseball card collection, I got a future standy
g put it best, he goes. When there was a
future star or rookie that you believed in, you would
have pages of your baseball card books because you would

(39:38):
you would keep the doubles.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Of that guy.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
You know who comes in mind for me, your boy
Greg Jeffery. Dude, that was the one that we said
Greg Jeffers. Yes, I had an entire plastic sheet of
his card. Dude, we all have the same thought because
he had so much like Lennydistra promise right, and he
was the next guy. There was a there was another
guy and he wasn't on my team. But I remember

(40:00):
stacking my book with Tod van Poppole. Yeah, Todd van Poppole.
And you know what, can you know a Yankee that
hurt his hands in a bar of feud, bar brawl
or something. Brian Taylor was a pitcher that apparently through
one hundred miles an hour. I remember getting his stadium
club card and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna put this.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
In a screwcase.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Speaking of the stadium club card, I think we all
think of Greg Jeffries too, because that was sort of
simultaneously when score became a thing. The score cards future
Greg Jefferies' future stars. You got all those scored Greg
Jeffries cards. So yeah, and again that's not to hate.
I'm saying it didn't match the hype, right, bands coming

(40:41):
up in radio, Guys, I've worked in rock radio for
most of my career.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Right, And of course.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Rich and I do a talk show, and we work
in sports and everything else. Rich did pop, I did rock.
In the world of rock, I can think of three
bands that were supposed to be the next big thing,
and they had good careers, but.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
They weren't the next big thing. Remember the band Fastball.
Of course, the way he made up them mine and
they started packing read that long the worst way. I
remember in all the meetings I'd sit in, everyone was
raging about Fastball and how are they going to be

(41:21):
the next big you know what else?

Speaker 3 (41:22):
They say different They.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Also saying, am I had of my head?

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Am I head of my mind and he won't come
see The road that they walked on was peved and go.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
And I liked those songs. And by the way, one
hit two hits better than no hits. I'm just telling you.
They were supposed to be the next big thing. I
got two more the Darkness. When The Darkness came out,
it was like, oh my god, they're bringing back this
old school rock sound.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
It's a party rockets, hold on different could I was
sam hit those high notes that The Darkness hits.

Speaker 9 (41:53):
You know, I'm a big Darkness fan. I saw them
in concert. I would argue that, yes, they had that
big hit. Believe in a thing called give Me the
high Notes.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
It's a great song.

Speaker 9 (42:02):
They are still very popular, especially in Britain. Uh They're
like they're like one of the bands that the British
I don't know, government or whatever, just call and me
like we need to perform to.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
The I'm not hearing a word you say until you
give me some.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
High I can't do it. It's gonna break. I did it.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
There was a big charity concert just recently. I forget
which one it was, but they performed. There was a
tribute show or something they performed.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Who was it?

Speaker 2 (42:33):
I saw it too. Sam was like a month or
two ago. Who were the talented? And they were fantastic.
But after that, you're they never catalog goes deep. No, well,
they have some really good albums.

Speaker 9 (42:43):
I'm still a huge darkness fan, and I know they
never exceeded the Sam.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
You're the only huge darkness fan that I.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Know, except in Britain. Apparently in Britain which is where.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
All our biggest for the darkness.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Okay, I got one more band right and again stellar band.
But they were marketed as the next Guns and Roses.
And I use this as an example all the time,
and I actually liked this band a lot. Buck Cherry
was supposed to be the next Guns and Roses. They
have a great career and they're super talented and I
love their hits.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
But they are far from Guns and Roses.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Guys, I'm just telling you they were supposed to be
the next big thing and weren't. And Rich, I want
to call you out because you used to rock that
shirt brand called Rule because you said it was going
to be the next big thing and it did not
Rule at all.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
I'll give you one that I feel like Luckily, I know,
I don't think you are spot because you guys were
my buddies at the time before streaming took over everything,
when you had your wall of DVDs in your apartment
and you felt so proud of it, you had all
the DVDs in alphabetical order. And then we had a decision.
I was like, oh man, are we gonna start doing

(43:49):
Blu rays or HD DVDs? And within a year neither
because we started streaming things. But do you know anyone
that invested big into like I got Blu rays.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
They fizzled. It's the way of the future, fizzled.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
So if bow Nicks is the next big thing according
to Sean Payton, and nobody's rooting against them. We love greatness,
we root for greatness, Sam roots.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
For the darkness and great Well, I'm still with them.
I'm still with them. What hey, I like that song too, Sam.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
But what are some other things that we're supposed to
be the next big thing that ended up being not
a thing? How about pomp Pilots. They were big for
a minute and then like.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Not at all. I'm I'm trying to think of it that.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
You know what, there's a whole category that we're gonna
mentally start unlocking some memories now of like technology and stuff.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
I also do want to say that where Sam is
on the darkness, it's a good place to be because
not everybody is. They're not bandwagon. So if you love
them as much as you did, you're through and through
with them. And so I know you want to say
that they're you want to stand up for them, yet
think it's a good place to be in a fan
because then they're not going to be mainstream, which is

(45:05):
what you a lot of times don't want with your
favorite bands.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
See there you go, they go.

Speaker 9 (45:12):
They've posted videos back when I Believe In a Thing
called Love came out and they were in front of
like one hundred thousand people performing, and now they're doing
much much smaller venues.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
So you remember they pulled that nine year old kid
on stage and it was just like randomly yeah, randomly
high voice. It was amazing, it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Are they cooler than me?

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Yes? So it's not a diss.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I'm just saying they were supposed to be the next
huge thing.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
This happens a lot. I know you came up in
hip hop radio there's a rapper. I'm sure that the
whole label vouches for but the fans just don't attached
like you.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
There were so many corporate made groups when hip hop
was hitting really big in the late nineties and early
two thousands. A list that's so long rich it would
take up the rest of the show.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
I'm thinking along the lines of like two thousand's pop groups.
Like back in the eighties, there was always someone that like,
you know, who is this? You said you had a
CD back in the day. I remember there's a CD
you said, and on it it said Nirvana's favorite band.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Oh it was the Meat Puppets, So yeah, I remember you.
You'd spend your hard earned money on CDs and I'm
in there at Compact Discworld or Sam Goodie Coconuts, whatever,
and I remember seeing the Meat Puppets. They have like
one good song at the time called.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
They also did Lake of Fire, which they covered much better.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Absolutely, But on the CD it said they're my favorite
effing band, Kurt Cobain. So I'm like, yo, I gotta
get them, like that's an endorsement, and they have fizzled.

Speaker 9 (46:44):
They rendition of Lake of Fire I do not like
it all. I like the Nirvana went much much more.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Puts that much pressure on on that moment, you know.
So that's why we have these these conversations with thoughts,
because they were so hyped at one.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
Point, and all three of us came up playing music
full time. I think backrich to the had to been
like the year two thousand are right around there. But
the record company for Little Bow Wow, remember them just
trying to sell me on them and their main I
think it was like the vice president of their label
at the time, he told me I was making a
huge mistake not playing his record because he's going to

(47:19):
be one of the most legendary MC's by the time
his career is done.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
But Bow Wow, you say, huh, let's go to the
phone calls. I'll give you one more and then we'll
take the feedback because I have to mention it. It's
a guy that was dating supermodels. There were chants in
stadiums when Steven Strasburg would pitch Harvey's better kids wore
Batman mesks to City Field. That's right, Matt Harvey went

(47:46):
from must watch pitching to you know, accusations and lost
you know arm injuries. Everything went wrong from Matt Harvey,
he got dumb bite, dark Knight, Like I also think
that's part of it. When you have a cool nickname
and you don't live up to it.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
That also gives me the same feeling, like like Hensley
Bam Bam, Muleins, you better be hitting bombs with nicknames
Raheem the rocket ismail, like you better be the rocket.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
It's you know, Kevin, it's it sucks because the Mets
had a couple of these more recently, and he played
for your Dodgers, Danny, he got a stint with the Angels.
Noah cinder Guard or six six long blonde hair, had
like the promise where people thought he was gonna be
the guy for years no matter where he ended up,

(48:34):
and it just sort of failed. That's a bummer when
you see stories like that.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Who else comes to mind.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
When you think of grand openings, grand closings, they're actually
probably never opened at all. They just never really took
off the way you thought they would. The next big
thing that wasn't in music, sports, entertainment, technology, Let's say,
how to Dave in Seattle. What's up, Dave?

Speaker 6 (49:00):
I just want to drop one for you.

Speaker 8 (49:02):
On some wrestling.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Remember, Lex Luger was supposed to be the next Paul Colgan.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Lex Luger was someone they put a lot of hypehind Well,
the ultimate warrior. They thought, would you know, take over
for Hogan and the fans just didn't seem to give
a crap about the ultimate warrior, you know, to be
the main guy.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
I got one for you, Rich When we were kids,
the Nintendo Power Glove was supposed to be the besknees
next big thing video gaming. It never and it never
worked the right way. Yeah, it stunk, so just like
never took off.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Robert Saint Louis.

Speaker 8 (49:35):
What's up, buddy, Hey guys, I got a couple music
and a couple athletes.

Speaker 7 (49:40):
So athletes. Remember Freddy I do? I think he was
like the youngest player ever drafted for MLS now. I
know it's a fringe sport in the US, but he
was like sixteen to seventeen years old and on the
cover of Sports Illustrated.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
I'll tell you that, I'll be honest. I don't know,
but no, he's absolutely correct.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
And just by him saying Freddy a dome made me
think of Felipe Lopez, who was a top high school
basketball product, same thing.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
He ended up going to Saint John's and he thought.
You know, this is in the.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
Nineteen nineties when Lopez came in and you thought he
was going to be the next big thing on the
cover of SI.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
I remember that happened.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
I was living in New York at the time, and
I remember, of course, Felipe Lopez, Man, I you know
the kids, that the kids are both in the NBA
and have had stints already. But didn't you think we'd
be more influenced by the Ball family. Remember when LeVar
Ball just came out of nowhere and he was the
most loud mouthed dude talking about his kids. Now he's

(50:35):
like Missy, he's had his leg amputated, and his kids like.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Like I would say, done all right, but not to
the level we thought.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
I thought LeVar Ball was gonna be part of like
our daily conversations.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Bonzo obviously dealing with injury and things like that. But
I'm with you, Rich, I thought for sure we'd be
talking about them a lot more.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Let's say, how to Tim in Texas. Hey, Tim, I
don't know why.

Speaker 10 (50:59):
The first thing that came up to my mind as
Zion Williamson. It's just because like he was so hyped
up when he was in high school. I know he's
still playing, so he might have a chance to still
be the next big thing, and I hope he does.
But so far he's just not meeting expectations.

Speaker 8 (51:15):
He'll go at all.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Yeah, we mentioned that briefly, but I'm glad we're all
on the same page there. And again, it's not to
throw shade or sneak this or talk smack about anybody
because they've had They had to have been that good
or leave that much of an impression on somebody for
us to even think that, Well, like you know, who
else comes to mind for you?

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Ahold just design for the second communo. Just to be fair,
he's a two time NBA All Star and he just
turned just turned twenty.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Five, but he hasn't met the hide.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
But I'm saying we expected I and off the court
stuff has not been in his favor. All I'm saying
is that I don't know if we could officially say
the story's done on Zion Williamson when the guy again
twenty five. He is a two time All Star, right
team right cast. Who knows if you know he could
turn around. I know you're saying though at a colle
chiefs supposed to be immediate impact, but that'd.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Be cool if he did turn it around.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
And as I was saying, you had to have some
sort of credibility to even gain this reputation of the
next big thing, right like Kevin Moss. If you guys
remember in the nineties, that dude came out and he
hit twenty one home runs faster than anybody ever did it.
Twenty one home runs and like just a not even
half a season, and everyone's like, he's the.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Next big thing.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Dude, He's the.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Next first baseman, yank.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
That guy was grand opening grand clothes and he was
out of baseball in like three years. So and I'm exaggerating,
you know, just to show you that it doesn't always.
I'll lock his stats up, but he was not the
next big thing.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Just to show you that sometimes the hype does deliver.
I would have to say, you gotta get props to
show Heo Tani because he could have been that meaning
absolutely Japanese player who pitches that hits like it had
all the ingredients to flop.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
But the fact that he delivered, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
He's overman called it.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Remember, Yeah, it's like there were people that thought this
ain't gonna work.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
I apologize if I repeat anything you guys said, But
that's what I actually admire Bryce Harper with that because because.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
I'm with you, Dan, I remember the stories where he'd
have the eye black, you know, as a young college
player and everything.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
Like he he's lived up to it for for what
he was hyped to be.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Now brought some of the hype.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Yeah, he was such a young kid and he was
supposed to be that next guy and he ended up
being that dude.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Yeah, that's really cool.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Brice Harper coined the phrase that's a clown question. If
I correct if I say that, Yeah, yes, some reporter
has him a dumb question. Dude, that's so old, that's yeah,
that's a clown question. Uh, I'm gonna bring that back, Manny.
What's up El Paso?

Speaker 11 (53:53):
Guys? How are we doing? Man? Okay, just clear they
even ahead. But Ben Hayden's right now. Commercial christ.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Crystal PEPSI was going to revolutionize the cola game with
the Cola Wars and as far as.

Speaker 11 (54:08):
As far as Portstephane's that lives up to the name.
And I'm a big national fan baseball fan. But Dale
earnhard living up to the name Intimidator two. But then
he started to for he was always wreaking. Harry.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Yeah, it's a good one. You know what we're gonna
do now, We are going to welcome a guy that
I believe is hitting us up from Chiefs training camp,
a guy that is here every week. It's time for
Mahomes Showtime Trivia.

a dB choose whether he would love to travel to
beautiful Boulder City, Nevada, OH, Crossville, Tennessee, OH or El Dorado,
California listening in on our Sacramento a film. All those
places sound very warm, very hot. But let's go to Tennessee, Tennessee.

first contestant with two correct answers is the champ. If
there's a tie, we have a tie breaker question. Your
name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait
until all three possible answers are read. If there's two
wrong answers in a row, we move on to the
next question. Are you ready? Let's get it home?

Speaker 7 (56:51):
All right?

Speaker 1 (56:51):
I'm here training camp Mahomes Patrick Mahums here, and this
team I'm about to talk about thinks they're going to

quoted saying about Andy Reed? Coach Reid has such big
energy around him.

Speaker 3 (57:50):

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Sometimes all he has to do is give our team
a certain look.

Speaker 3 (57:55):

He understands how people learn, understands how to get people
to get the concept of what the.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Great teacher, understands how people learn, understands how.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
To get people to get the concept of what the
play is.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
That's the trick.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
You need to understand what's going on and then execute.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Understand, then execute.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
So barbecue restaurants coming anytime soon from not every time soon?

training camps than thank you Patrick, big takeaway? Thank you
Patrick for Patrick either big takeaway? Cause you know who

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
Oh god, man, oh man, I swear he said be
And Marion Hampton's all right, I mean I'll find someone
else with credibility.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Who are you co host with? Yeah, little Harmon, he's
the real answer. I'm gonna call him.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Well, I'm watching my Yankees and my fingers crossed. Hard
Knocks preseason Buffalo Bill's premieres tonight on HBO Max. If
you want to get hype for football, if Show Time
Mahomes trivia from training camp didn't get you hyped, maybe
Hard Knocks will get you hyped tonight. I'm pumped out.
I'll watch that for sure. I have to catch up
on certain shows. But Hard Knocks following around a real competitor,

(01:01:17):
a real a team with real high hopes this year,
So we'll see that. Should be interesting to see what
Buffalo is up to. I think it's also crazy how
we're getting so close. Man, less than fifty games left
in the baseball season, and before you know what, those
Pennant races are going to really start heating up. Pressure
is going to be on.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
So baseball is popping, football getting ready, And I want
to bring up one quick thing has nothing to do
with baseball, football, or anything that we're loving in the
world of sports. Just a reminder to all the idiotic
guys out there. Two people have recently talked about women

(01:01:57):
being too old for them, and it never gets that's
a good response.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
So you might think it. In fact, we all may
think it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Women.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
You may think it too. It's like a DiCaprio.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
It's like a woman saying I won't date a guy
under five eleven or six foot or five ten.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Women have their own rules, and no one seems to
care when a woman says, I've got the rule of sixes.
And that's how it goes. There's there's rules women have.
Women are picky as hell. They could say they don't
want a short king. But if you said, all right,
well I don't want a girl that weighs a certain amount,
you're the worst guy on planet Earth. So there is
a double standard where women are allowed to have preference. Guys,

(01:02:36):
you gotta be careful. And I saw two people The
Golden Bachelor, I said about a week ago, mel Owens,
who's gonna be the new Golden Bachelor, said if any
woman they cast is over sixty, he's immediately cutting them.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
People are like, what a jerk? So not a good look.
Even if he did it, don't say it. And the
second one was remember the rapper trick Daddy from the
two thousands, Yeah, take it to the house.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
Take it to the house. He had a couple hits.
Trick Daddy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
Oh no, He said that any woman over thirty five
is washed.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
He said damaged goods, damage goods, And the internet went
wild about it. And he's getting all sorts of backlash
for saying he's not into women over thirty five.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Even if he believes that and feels that, don't we
realize those things that we shouldn't say, just knowing that
it's just a trigger.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
You know, it'll trigger people like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Just don't give your age or weight preference on a
on a woman.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Guys, can we do that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
It's the record, he's he's fifty two, so he's saying
women over thirty five damage doesn't want it. And Rich
you're making a good point. It's one thing to think
things sometimes, but to say them, it's like, yo, dude,
you need to chill because you know you're gonna get backlash.
But the truth is probably doesn't care. I mean, honestly,

(01:03:56):
what is trick Dad? Who's trick Daddy got an answer to?

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
If anything, if trick Daddy says some outlanda's crap and
gets some buzz, that's really better than any press he's getting.
So if anything, to go along with your sentiment, is
it staged to get buzz? Because is anyone talking about
trick Daddy? So maybe, you know, maybe this gets people
laughing enough we're like, oh man, he's crazy that I

(01:04:20):
don't know. Yeah, it's it's the cheap and easy way
to get some free publicity because who was talking about
him otherwise?

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
All right, well, and it seems to be the way
of the world. If it bleeds, it leads. It's sort
of like that American Eagles story. It's like, how do
you get good press? I don't know, make up a
story about how this is Nazi propaganda. If you like it, yeah,
if you like blue jeans on exactly exactly, I will
have a great Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Enjoy your baseball. We're getting closer and closer to football.
Three more preseason games on Thursday. I know it doesn't
mean much, but it gets us more on the mood
for football season. So we got three more on Thursday,
your Raiders playing on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Five more Sundays until the regular season.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Five more Sundays, huh uh until my until my niner
shocked the world with that Robert Salad. There we rob,
that's my talking point. Oh year, that Robert Salad defense.
We'll see you guys later.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
Are Riba there, chi baby, see you in the promise,
Go Robert Salad.
