Speaker 1 (00:01):
Oh, what's going on everybody? I can't say it better
than this guy with the uh perfecto, perfectcion over here, perfectsion.
That's right, Domingo Herman, the twenty fourth perfect game in
MLB history. We will dive into that and uh look
(00:23):
at it from what would you most want to see
in person? That's the angle I want to take it in.
We are broadcasting live from the tirac dot com studios.
Tirac dot com will help get you there an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers ti rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. So the perfect Game from Domingo Herman only
(00:48):
the twenty fourth time in MLB history this has happened.
You go back to the first two perfect games. It
happened in eighteen eighty, right right, and then you go
throughout the years twenty two more so twenty four total
now and the first two were in eighteen eighty. That's
(01:09):
what blows my mind is how seldomly this happens. So
the company that Domingo Herman is in, it's top shelf,
top shelf, to say the least, So shout out to him.
That's awesome. The thing that I think of is, what
would you want to see in person if it evolved
(01:33):
your team on the losing end. What's higher than a
perfect game? Now, again, this is not ideal. Let's say
for the Oakland A's fans that are there watching the game,
or it's not as great with the A's fans because
it's a lost season. They've they've won around twenty games,
(01:58):
they're moving, you know at this point, and it's like,
just show me anything historic, and I'm in, like, even
if it involves the A's being dramatically on the wrong side.
But put any team in that situation, your favorite team,
whether it's baseball. I root for the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Diehard Cardinals. Guy. I'm going to the game on Friday,
(02:20):
coincidentally against the Yankees. My dad will be here, girlfriend's going,
you know, so we're gonna have some fun over at
the ball game. What would I want to see if
it involves the Cardinals losing, it have to be a
perfect game. Make it beyond baseball. If you go to
(02:40):
a football game, whoever you root for, and your team
is on the losing end, what would be kind of
cool to see I really don't know. I don't know
what would rival a perfect game. I think it would
be at the top of the list because it happens
so seldomly and it's one of the there's moments where
(03:01):
like Chris Berman used to say all the time, I
remember it because I was there. Remember he always used
to say that a perfect game is high on the list,
and it's it's not as bad like I think of
One of the games I went to I mentioned a
little bit earlier was the Bush Push game. I'm from
South Bend. I love Notre Dame football, and I was
(03:23):
there for that game and usc Ar Trival wrought one
at the very end terrible, you know, like it rip
your heart out type thing, but being there it was memorable.
I just I don't think of that moment and it
being like there's nothing halfway cool about it. You know.
(03:46):
It's like Notre Dame lost, they had a great chance
to win. They gave up a I don't know, like
a sixty four yard passing play on fourth and nine,
even before the Bush Push. So I don't look back
at that and like, oh it was it sucked that
Notre Dame lost, but man and part of history I
don't think of it like that. But if it's a
(04:07):
perfect game, and let's not say it's a random June
twenty eighth game, Let's say it's something significant. Let's say
it's you know, a playoff, birth is hanging in the
balance or something like that, and your team loses via
the perfect game. I still think it's one of those
(04:28):
deals where it happens so seldomly and if you love
the sport and you just I don't know. I'm not
an uber history buff at all, but when it comes
to sports and being there for history, like what Domingo
her mind did, it hadn't happened since twenty twelve. It's
been eleven years, nearly nearly eleven years. You gotta go
(04:51):
all the way back to Felix Hernandez with the Seattle Mariners.
Happened in twenty twelve for the last perfect game before
Wednesday night. So to be there to see it, Like
I'll put it this way, it's probably the best way
to put it. What would get you to cheer for
(05:12):
the other team beyond a perfect game? I don't know
what else is on the list, And I think there
are times too where you know the a's were losing
eleven to nothing. So this isn't a one nothing game
where you still have a chance, like if you're about
to get a perfect game put on you, there's a
(05:34):
good chance. It's not even a realistic shot that you
could rally come back win the game. So in terms
of what would get me cheering for the other team
when I'm at the home stadium, there's not much on
the list. There's hardly anything on the list. I would
cheer for a perfect game, even if it involved my
(05:56):
team being on the losing end.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And it was a madhouse. I mean, there aren't a
whole lot of of uh, you know, fans that come
out to these games involving the A's with their impending move.
But it was loud. How many were there, Let's say
it's I don't know, with the Yankees in town, healthier
than ten thousand. It's not a lot louder than that,
(06:23):
you know, but it is. It's a historic moment. Now,
this was the Spanish call of Domingo Herman's perfect game,
and it's sensational.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Check it out, swing a little Donald Donald affects you,
San Pyler.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
My monies that public Khana and settlements Saddle Settle Settle Benfects.
You be pet don't be them.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's great, that's awesome, And I mean that's the thing
in sports. Some of these pitchers on the perfect game
list didn't have great careers. Dallas Braden, who was on
the call on the A's side, he was in the
booth for Domingo Herman's perfect game on Wednesday. He didn't
have a stellar career. But he's on that list. He's
(07:24):
there forever. And you think about the amount of games
that have been played over decades and decades and decades
of baseball history, and you're one of twenty four right now.
That's awesome. I'm Brian no Infra, big Ben Maller right
here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, gambling is on the
mind as well. So two layers to this in terms
(07:48):
of the NFL. Where any day now, we're expecting at
the end of the week, according to Adam Schefter, the
NFL will announce the latest round of suspensions. Isaiah Rodgers,
cornerback with the He's probably gonna get popped for an
entire season, was potentially betting on his team or against
(08:09):
his team. You talk about a scarlet letter man. If
you got popped for betting against the team you were
playing on. Who you talk about all trust being broken?
How do you sell that one? And I'm not saying
he did that. I'm just saying it makes me think that,
you know, it opens up that thought where if you're
(08:30):
the guy, the first one in the NFL to get
popped and it's found out that you were betting against
your team, and especially if you were active. Think about
Calvin Ridley. He was inactive and he was betting on
his Falcons team. He's betting on them to win. Imagine
being active betting against the team you are playing for.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Picks you up going forward. So we'll see what happens.
As far as Isaiah Rodgers, if he was betting on
or against the Colts, if that even is part of
the deal, but it sure sounds like he was betting
on NFL games now if you shift it from the NFL.
There was news on Wednesday also involving college sports. The NCAA.
They weighed in and man so they amended the penalties
(09:22):
for student athletes to violate their gambling policy and some
of this stuff it's wordy, but it's like, wow, that's
really what they amended. That's the new thing. So this
is the first part of it. So student athletes that
are found to have engaged in activities to influence the
(09:43):
outcome of games they're involved with, or the athletes that
provide information to people involved in betting. You know, if
they just say, hey, you know, are starting running back.
He's got a bum ankle, so you know, just so
you know, are found to give inside information or they're
(10:03):
taking part in betting. Right here, it says they'll face
a potential permanent loss of collegiate eligibility if you're found
to engage in activities that influence the outcome of games,
your point shaving, or you're providing information a by the way,
are our quarterback could have an MCL That's what I'm hearing.
(10:25):
Just you know, didn't hear it from me? You could
be done in college. That could be at permanent loss.
Gone hit it, You're out of here. And the other
part of this is student athletes. I love how they
put that quote unquote student athletes who bet on their
own sport but not involving their school. So let's say
(10:47):
I'll just use a couple of random schools, Notre Dame Okay,
say there's a football player at Notre Dame and he
bets on the Florida Florida State football game. Right, it's
a game not involving himself. That person is subject to
a potential loss of fifty percent of one season. Okay,
you compare that to the NFL Isaiah Rodgers betting on
(11:10):
NFL games, you know, Calvin Ridley betting on NFL games
full season, no questions asked in college, same situation. You're
looking at potentially half of this season. Okay, Now, this
is the weirdest part to me. So they're going to
consider the NC doable A. They're going to consider how
(11:31):
much was wagered, like the total amount over the course
of however long. They're gonna add up this cumulative dollar
value and so bets totally and get this two hundred
and one to five hundred dollars. If you're in that range,
(11:53):
it could be ten percent of the season it costs you. Now,
now if you're a totally that's more than eight hundred dollars,
it could result in the loss of thirty percent of
the season in terms of your eligibility. Who who came
up with this? Who who came up with This is
(12:16):
the thing, man, you ever subscribe to the Kiss method,
Keep it simple, stupid, you know. I feel like policies
should absolutely adhere to that you know, standard where in
(12:37):
order for people to remember what's what, you gotta make
it simpler than this. I'm not saying this is equals
MC squared or something, but it's so wordy and so convoluted,
and so it's like, just simplify this stuff. What was
Who's gonna know that? If I say, you know, three
(12:58):
weeks from now, all right, pop, is how much of
the season could you be ineligible for if your bets
total between two hundred and one and five hundred dollars,
what's the percentage there? Like, who's gonna remember any of that?
This is what it boils down to. If you're a
college athlete, probably better to not bet on sports period.
(13:19):
That's just all these penalties and any inside information. Don't
do it, don't place bets. It's just as a college athlete,
you're better off not doing it. In the NFL, they
give you more wiggle room. Just don't bet on the
NFL in any capacity, games, the NFL Draft, what have
anything with NFL. Don't do it. And then for whatever reason,
(13:41):
don't bet at the facility. That's it. But man, like
all of these bullet points and subheaders and it's just
too much going on. It's like the NFL's policy should be,
don't bet on the NFL, don't bet at the facility,
no inside information. You gotta chance for players to remember
(14:02):
three things. I'm not saying players are stupid. I'm just saying,
if there's too much thrown at you, it's not all
gonna stick. And what's the point of having a policy
that doesn't stick. I would just keep it as simple
as possible. And they're not. The NFL, isn't the NCAA isn't.
Now with that being said, I go back to something
(14:22):
Bill Belichick said, and this makes all the sense in
the world. You could apply it to the gambling situation
here and now. Now what Bill Belichick was talking about
at the time. He was talking about the new helmet rule.
So if you dropped your head and you initiated contact,
they were throwing penalties. They're calling penalties for doing that,
(14:43):
and so there's a lot of pushback. There was a
lot of why is this the rule? And this sucks?
I don't like this, and this is what Belichick said about.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It, it doesn't really matter whether I like the rule, don't
like the rule, or what I think the rule should
or should be, or should or shouldn't be called. That's
not my job. My job is understand the rule and
to coach it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, that's it. I think that with the gambling stuff
going on here, there's a lot of oh the NFL,
how could they take money from sports books and yet
they're punishing players and what's up with that? And why
this and all that and ba ba ba. It's like
Belichick just said about the helmet rule that applies to gambling.
It's not what you think about it. It's not about
(15:22):
what you think the rules should be and the guidelines
ought to be, and it's just what they are. And
these teams, man, they gotta get it through to their
players what they can and can't do, because you're seeing
players get popped left and right, and depending on how
prominent a player is, that could turn your season sideways.
(15:46):
So I think there should be less time belly aching
about what should and shouldn't be from a team perspective
and just coach them up and say, all right, guys,
here's what we're looking at. Okay, like, don't do this,
don't do that, and we're all good, good, all right
now under practice. But yeah, yeah, it's less belly aching,
(16:06):
more just enforcing the rule even if you completely disagree
with it. That's a better approach for these teams. But
as far as the leagues, like the NFL, NCAA is
too convoluted, man, too much going on. We've got a
lot to get to coming up around the corner here

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Let's see concert wise? CARDI like a hip hop artist
movie car Cardi b is a definite yes, definite Yes,
you wouldn't be there. I would not be Yeah, that's
what I thought, a good call. But I I could
see myself at some hip hop concerts. I get down
(19:33):

of a hip hop fan than a country fan. So
but rock and roll and grunge, blues.

Speaker 8 (19:49):
But I can even you know, we we've joked about

a little party? Yeah, man, I can get down to
some of that stuff though, too. It's good that gets
gets in the mood.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I love that song. It's a great song, classic.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No idea what you're talking about. Yeah, you don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
No, it sounds awful, honestly, Oh it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
It's a great, great song. It's a pick me up,
turn on my boots. It sounds like every country song
ever written. No, you talk about his pickup truck two, Yeah,
he does mention his pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Come on, let's go, man, see mud on my wheels?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh, John party, let's go.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
How do you not like this.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
Because it sounds like every country song ever, Brian, Let's
not forget that we're from the heart of the country
where this stuff plays a lot more often.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
In these California guys.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
They can't relate.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Man such haters over here? Fun?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Does he talk about drinking beer also?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
But I don't think he does. No, I don't think
he does. That would be a fantastic karaoke song. I
don't know the verses as well, but that chorus is tremendous.
Do you like any country coup? Nothing?
Speaker 5 (21:18):
I can get down with some Johnny Cash.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
There you go. Good.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
That's about the extent of it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I like how Iowa Sam says California. I'm from central California,
So that's that's about as Midwest as you can get
for California, Central America ever hung out in Fresno. I
have not. Okay, well Brian and I have, so yeah, yeah,
it's it's not it's California, but it's not really.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Californiaah, it's more like a you know, a grarian, you know,
farming Central Valley.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It's it's it's red in the in the blue state.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
You might hear a little John Party play, for sure,
playing John Party Plane at the party.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
John Party, you know, rolling down the road, cranking it up,
Coop next to you, just giving that disgusted look like,
oh gosh, you're just taking up space right now. Polluting
the air with this awful music. Uh yeah. Hey, by
the way, Eddie, I wanted to mention this to you, so,
uh you hear about this new There's a pepsi condiment.
(22:22):
It's gonna be set for the fourth of July. Yeah
you saw this. I have not seen this, okay, Eddie,
so get ready. It is the Pepsi Colotchup. So it
is the world's first pepsi infused condiment. It is a
mixture of pepsi flavored ketchup that you could put on
(22:45):
your hot dog.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh, that sounds terrible. It's called it col It's called colchis.
It sounds terrible. The name of it sounds terrible, and
the description sounds terrible.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think right, it's cola and ketchup colotchup.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It sounds like that. I don't want to have or
have you.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
Ever had a colatch. It's like it's like a type
of Danish I think you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Know when you said that, Iowa, it does sound like
some sort of you know, medical Yeah, yeah, I get
your coach, get it checked, man, you know, can save you. Yeah.
Some of these quotes are hilarious, Eddie. So one of
these is, uh, we invented pepsi colatchup to reinforce just
(23:31):
how well hot dogs and pepsi go together. And unapologetically
mouthwatering creation that seamlessly merges a condiment with the ultimate
hot dog pairing beverage delivered delivering a unified taste experience,
is what they're going that. I don't know. Maybe these
pepsi people came up with the gambling policies in the
(23:52):
NFL and the nc double A, with the punishments and
all that. That's a lot of words and none of
it's going to stick with you at all, none, But I.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Do like the name, isn't isn't ketchup already like acidic enough?
What you're adding cola to it, which is also a cidic.
I'd rather just wash down the hot dog with pepsi,
not have it in my condiment.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah there.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Do you know about Do you know about Eddie's Uh,
Eddie's sort of a pickle policies, Brian pickle guy?
Speaker 5 (24:22):
You like pickles?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Love pickles?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Yeah, like a dill spear. Oh love it? Yeah, Eddie, Eddie,
what are you?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
What are your thoughts on that it's the devil's fruit?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
He's not wrong they're discussing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Nothing grosses me out more than my wife and I
have season passes at Disneyland. We go to go every Friday.
It's like our getaway from people just launching those Oh
my god, it is devils, Oh my god, it is.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
And it's the worst because it's not like you. You
go somewhere and you ask for no pickles, and if
they don't do no pickles, the sandwich is ruined. Because
you can't just take a pickle off of the sandwich.
It contaminates the entire thing with it.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
There's nothing worse than biting into a cheeseburger when they've
left a pickle on there and you've asked them not to.
Oh god, but it adds a requisite crunch crunch.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I love that ad bacon for crunch.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, that's not a bad call at all.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
No, how about both?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
No sign me up for both? All day I feel
good about myself. Normally I'm the one that sounds like
you guys like oh cross hate it, terrible, awful yuck.
And for one time I'm on the other side of like,
no way, give me more. Throw some more on that
sandwich over there.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I love chicken sandwiches. God, I hate when they
insist on putting pickles on them. Just awful.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I didn't realize this is as hard hardcore of a take.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
I love dill seasoning, though, How can you.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Hate pickles but love dill seasoning.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
It's or like the herb like dyl it is. It
smells so good.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Well does love herbs.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
By the way, I don't know if you've sampled these
other pepsi products here, Eddie, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'm not a pepsi pepsi guy.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh really, okay, I didn't know that. You're like Roy Williams,
the old North Carolina head coach, big coch. Yeah, all
about Coca cola. But there was pepsi infused pepperoni. I
don't know about that. There was also Peep's flavored pepsi.
I've seen these cans. I have not tasted that.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I would like to end this conversation now.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's grossing you out there.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
It's really terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You have room for one more or No, I've never
heard of this one. This is the worst sounds more. Okay,
So the company called on fans to mix its cola
with milk to create eight pilk that's the real thing.
During the holiday season.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I don't know. I'm I'm I'm the oldest guy on
the show.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
Here.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
There was some sitcom where one of the characters drank
milk and PEPSI is anybody that, yeah, milk and pets
like lavernon Shirley or something like that. That was their drink,
their famous drink.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That was sort of like it was Lavern and Shirley,
No kidd and that was pretty like the Arnold Palmer.
That was the weird blend that didn't take off.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Pet and milk was the favorite drink of Peenny Marshall's
character on the Classics sitcom with Shirley Coop.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
The things that are stored in this brain, it's just
it's just terrible. It's terrible that that is taking up
space of something that could be beneficial to me, but
that's in there.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Did you experiment with that?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
No, no, no, I don't know. You just said that
sounded terrible. I'm sure she didn't either in real life.
It was just a quirky thing about her character. I
guess that is.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's a random fun fact right there.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You're welcome, Thank you, Eddie, appreciate it. Pil pilk.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
They never called it pilk though on the show. I
don't think.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Like the advanced, the advancement here, like we're coming up
with new, improved, So we got a name for it.
That's terrible. That's an awful idea. I can't imagine that's
good at all.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
Listen to the ball Tony Fusco Show on the I
Hot Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I saw the riddle here, Eddie, Yes, staring us in
the face. It was the last guy before Wednesday to
do it, had to beat Felix Hernandez, right, the other
Latin pitcher to go uh perfecto.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Well maybe that was the obvious one. The obvious one.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I don't know, Dennis Martinez, Felix Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
And do you remember where Dennis Martinez was from.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't off the top of my head.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh wow, yeah, not a lot of big leaguers from Nicaragua,
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Shout out to him. Very nice. Wow, no kidding, fun
fact right there. He was a really good picture Dennis Martinez.
Remember he had, did he not Eddie? You remember this?
That huge tobacco like he was a guy that he
went all in on tobacco.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I had a golf ball in his mouth.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He dude, he had like if you took the whole
thing of Big League two, you know, the packets, Yeah,
and put that in the side of your mouth. That's
basically what he had with actual tobacco. He had the
whole thing going over there. But entertaining pitcher. By the way,
a couple of tweets rolling in here at the no
show we were talking about you know, if you're a
(30:17):
fan of the home team, and the opposing team does
something historic. Now, what is on your list that you
would actually cheer for other than a perfect game? I
don't know what there would be, but there are a
lot of A's fans cheering for Domingo Herman on Wednesday
night as he went perfect, though, which is totally understandable,
(30:40):
especially in their situation. The team's about to move and
they've got about twenty wins. Of course you would cheer
for a perfect game. I would cheer for a perfect
game even if the stakes were a lot higher. But anyway,
Kathleen checked in and said, Brian, she was at the
Brewers Yankees game at the Old County Stadium and Reggie
(31:02):
Jackson got a standing ovation by the Brewers fans. So
every now and then it happens. Gary checks in and said,
I attended the Randy Johnson and Mark Burley perfect games.
That's pretty cool. Casey car Haller says I could stomach
a Chief's loss via seventy yard field goal. Okay, all right,
(31:25):
like not quite Denver over there, you know, at the
elevated sea level. I don't know if someone's going for
seventy at Arrowhead, but I understand it. I get it.
I don't even know this is true. The Russian kid
checked in and said pre Joe Burrow era Duncan Donuts
was giving away free donuts on Mondays if the Bengals
(31:48):
won a game on Sunday, and wow, that hard times
for the Bengals for They're like, if we win, free stuff,
you know, just come on in get your stuff. I
thought they're doing that now because they're actually.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
The charger side of thing. If you get they get
an interception, you get a chicken sandwich from Popeyes. We
took advantage of that.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Wow, No, kidd, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Absolutely, that's a.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Really good giveaway like that. Let's get out to Michael.
He's in clear Water. Wants to check in here, Michael,
you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Bud?
Speaker 10 (32:21):
Hey, Brian, My apologies. I'm on allergy meds and if
this comes across as a fever dream, you know, blame
it on the prescription med. But yeah, I'm a big
Tampa Bay Bucks fan obviously, and I imagine we have
tropical storms and hurricanes out in the golf all the time.
So here's the Scenariobrian, you get a big storm out
in the golf, but it's not enough to hit the
(32:43):
Tampa Bay area and postpone the game, right, and it
comes down to overtime. Let's say they're playing a team
I despise, like the Chicago Bears, and it comes down
to overtime and there's a gust from the storm front
that allows the Bears kicker and overtime to win the
game with a seventy nine yard record setting field goal.
(33:05):
It's win date, and I have the perfect position to
see it barely clear the crossbar. I think that would
resonate with me forever. I wondered if you found that
something you would like to see in personally, I think
that would be a loss I could live with.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You know now that you're I appreciate you checking in, Mike,
and you made perfect sense, you know, on the allergy
meds and everything. I thought it was well reasoned, but
I hadn't thought about it like that where you think
about just crazy wind and some insanely long field goal
where you know, seventy seventy nine sounds obnoxious, but I'd
(33:42):
be quite the you know, the windstorm right there. But
you guys got me thinking where it would be cool
to see that. I mean again, if This is like
the last second field goal and your team loses and
it's heartbreaking. But you saw a history, it'd be a
little bit like I think this sucked actually, But wasn't
(34:05):
it the record breaker where the Ravens kicker against the Lions.
Remember how it hit the crossbar and then barely Doington?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It was crazy Tucker?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, Justin Tucker.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That guy's awesome. He's reach and that's the Steeler. Fancy
that about a Ravens player. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Uh, the only I went. I took my sister to
a Ravens Lions game, not that one, Eddie, but won
before that and Tucker. I forget how many field goals
he made that that day. He made probably four or
five field goals, very low scoring game, and the Ravens
won because of Justin Tucker. He's amazing, amazing kicker.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Has anyone on the staff seen a no hitter?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
By the way, No, I haven't, are you?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I came close? Uh? I was in San Diego for
a Pirates Padres game. Uh Chris Young you remember him?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Oh? Yeah, like the Padres real tall guy.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah was I'm looking at two thousand and
six and he was two outs away and I actually
was cheering for him to get it against my team
because screw it, you know, yeah, right, yeah, And then
Joe Randa had a pinch hit to run Homer with
one out in the ninth, and that was that.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It's always funny when your guy breaks up the no
hitter and people are like, dude, come on, we wanted
to see history.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Like, yeah, it was. It was like to take the lead,
I've been all right, but they still lost six to two.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So I was like, that's funny when it works out
like that. But hey, we're brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Got any love for skid row over there, Eddie?
Speaker 2 (36:40):
A little bit. That's kind of from my like my
high school days. I listened to all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
I could just picture you just raising hell with some
skid row in the background, you know, just something obnoxious.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, drinking beer in an orange grove. I was raising hell.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Right, Yeah, yeah I can. I could see it there, Eddie.
Where are you are you? This is a terrible question.
Are you originally from Fresno.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Like central California? Yes? I was. I was born in
Hawaii military kid, but moved to Central California. Was raised
in a little town called Porterville.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Porterville, Yeah, okay, I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah really that's surprising.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, how far away? Is it from Fresno?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Not, it's a it's about equidistance from Bakersfield to Fresno,
like kind of right there.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like doable. I've heard of it. No
I've ever been there. But by the way, what do
you think about this? So there's a story that MLB
they're thinking about maybe reducing the schedule to one hundred
and fifty four games, so they'd, you know, chop off
eight games. The reason would be to make room for
(37:52):
more international games where you just had this London series
with the Cubs and Cardinals, and you would make more
room free up the schedule, more traveling, showcase the game overseas,
that sort of thing. I don't know, Eddy, I don't
know why you have to reduce the season to make
this happen. Well, we just had the London series. It's
(38:15):
still one hundred and sixty two games. How many series
is each team gonna play internationally? Probably only playing one series.
I doubt you would do more than that. I don't
think you have to reduce any games. And it makes
sense to go and play overseas, that's fine. I get it,
growing the game all that, but I don't think you
have to reduce the schedule to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean, I wouldn't think so. Like I guess, just
to travel, you know, is time going to help. How
much time do you need off before you go to
London and come back. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, you'd have to be going I you know, I
don't know where their their plans are where. It's much
more travel than London and all that. I just think
it can be done without reducing the schedule. A lot
of talk about reducing the schedule, and I just I
don't think it's realistically going to happen, all right. Coming
up next, some hideous sports takes and a funny cameo
Oh, what's going on everybody? I can't say it better
than this guy with the uh perfecto, perfectcion over here, perfectsion.
That's right, Domingo Herman, the twenty fourth perfect game in
MLB history. We will dive into that and uh look
(00:23):
at it from what would you most want to see
in person? That's the angle I want to take it in.
We are broadcasting live from the tirac dot com studios.
Tirac dot com will help get you there an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers ti rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. So the perfect Game from Domingo Herman only
(00:48):
the twenty fourth time in MLB history this has happened.
You go back to the first two perfect games. It
happened in eighteen eighty, right right, and then you go
throughout the years twenty two more so twenty four total
now and the first two were in eighteen eighty. That's
(01:09):
what blows my mind is how seldomly this happens. So
the company that Domingo Herman is in, it's top shelf,
top shelf, to say the least, So shout out to him.
That's awesome. The thing that I think of is, what
would you want to see in person if it evolved
(01:33):
your team on the losing end. What's higher than a
perfect game? Now, again, this is not ideal. Let's say
for the Oakland A's fans that are there watching the game,
or it's not as great with the A's fans because
it's a lost season. They've they've won around twenty games,
(01:58):
they're moving, you know at this point, and it's like,
just show me anything historic, and I'm in, like, even
if it involves the A's being dramatically on the wrong side.
But put any team in that situation, your favorite team,
whether it's baseball. I root for the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Diehard Cardinals. Guy. I'm going to the game on Friday,
(02:20):
coincidentally against the Yankees. My dad will be here, girlfriend's going,
you know, so we're gonna have some fun over at
the ball game. What would I want to see if
it involves the Cardinals losing, it have to be a
perfect game. Make it beyond baseball. If you go to
(02:40):
a football game, whoever you root for, and your team
is on the losing end, what would be kind of
cool to see I really don't know. I don't know
what would rival a perfect game. I think it would
be at the top of the list because it happens
so seldomly and it's one of the there's moments where
(03:01):
like Chris Berman used to say all the time, I
remember it because I was there. Remember he always used
to say that a perfect game is high on the list,
and it's it's not as bad like I think of
One of the games I went to I mentioned a
little bit earlier was the Bush Push game. I'm from
South Bend. I love Notre Dame football, and I was
(03:23):
there for that game and usc Ar Trival wrought one
at the very end terrible, you know, like it rip
your heart out type thing, but being there it was memorable.
I just I don't think of that moment and it
being like there's nothing halfway cool about it. You know.
(03:46):
It's like Notre Dame lost, they had a great chance
to win. They gave up a I don't know, like
a sixty four yard passing play on fourth and nine,
even before the Bush Push. So I don't look back
at that and like, oh it was it sucked that
Notre Dame lost, but man and part of history I
don't think of it like that. But if it's a
(04:07):
perfect game, and let's not say it's a random June
twenty eighth game, Let's say it's something significant. Let's say
it's you know, a playoff, birth is hanging in the
balance or something like that, and your team loses via
the perfect game. I still think it's one of those
(04:28):
deals where it happens so seldomly and if you love
the sport and you just I don't know. I'm not
an uber history buff at all, but when it comes
to sports and being there for history, like what Domingo
her mind did, it hadn't happened since twenty twelve. It's
been eleven years, nearly nearly eleven years. You gotta go
(04:51):
all the way back to Felix Hernandez with the Seattle Mariners.
Happened in twenty twelve for the last perfect game before
Wednesday night. So to be there to see it, Like
I'll put it this way, it's probably the best way
to put it. What would get you to cheer for
(05:12):
the other team beyond a perfect game? I don't know
what else is on the list, And I think there
are times too where you know the a's were losing
eleven to nothing. So this isn't a one nothing game
where you still have a chance, like if you're about
to get a perfect game put on you, there's a
(05:34):
good chance. It's not even a realistic shot that you
could rally come back win the game. So in terms
of what would get me cheering for the other team
when I'm at the home stadium, there's not much on
the list. There's hardly anything on the list. I would
cheer for a perfect game, even if it involved my
(05:56):
team being on the losing end.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And it was a madhouse. I mean, there aren't a
whole lot of of uh, you know, fans that come
out to these games involving the A's with their impending move.
But it was loud. How many were there, Let's say
it's I don't know, with the Yankees in town, healthier
than ten thousand. It's not a lot louder than that,
(06:23):
you know, but it is. It's a historic moment. Now,
this was the Spanish call of Domingo Herman's perfect game,
and it's sensational.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Check it out, swing a little Donald Donald affects you,
San Pyler.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
My monies that public Khana and settlements Saddle Settle Settle Benfects.
You be pet don't be them.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's great, that's awesome, And I mean that's the thing
in sports. Some of these pitchers on the perfect game
list didn't have great careers. Dallas Braden, who was on
the call on the A's side, he was in the
booth for Domingo Herman's perfect game on Wednesday. He didn't
have a stellar career. But he's on that list. He's
(07:24):
there forever. And you think about the amount of games
that have been played over decades and decades and decades
of baseball history, and you're one of twenty four right now.
That's awesome. I'm Brian no Infra, big Ben Maller right
here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, gambling is on the
mind as well. So two layers to this in terms
(07:48):
of the NFL. Where any day now, we're expecting at
the end of the week, according to Adam Schefter, the
NFL will announce the latest round of suspensions. Isaiah Rodgers,
cornerback with the He's probably gonna get popped for an
entire season, was potentially betting on his team or against
(08:09):
his team. You talk about a scarlet letter man. If
you got popped for betting against the team you were
playing on. Who you talk about all trust being broken?
How do you sell that one? And I'm not saying
he did that. I'm just saying it makes me think that,
you know, it opens up that thought where if you're
(08:30):
the guy, the first one in the NFL to get
popped and it's found out that you were betting against
your team, and especially if you were active. Think about
Calvin Ridley. He was inactive and he was betting on
his Falcons team. He's betting on them to win. Imagine
being active betting against the team you are playing for.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Picks you up going forward. So we'll see what happens.
As far as Isaiah Rodgers, if he was betting on
or against the Colts, if that even is part of
the deal, but it sure sounds like he was betting
on NFL games now if you shift it from the NFL.
There was news on Wednesday also involving college sports. The NCAA.
They weighed in and man so they amended the penalties
(09:22):
for student athletes to violate their gambling policy and some
of this stuff it's wordy, but it's like, wow, that's
really what they amended. That's the new thing. So this
is the first part of it. So student athletes that
are found to have engaged in activities to influence the
(09:43):
outcome of games they're involved with, or the athletes that
provide information to people involved in betting. You know, if
they just say, hey, you know, are starting running back.
He's got a bum ankle, so you know, just so
you know, are found to give inside information or they're
(10:03):
taking part in betting. Right here, it says they'll face
a potential permanent loss of collegiate eligibility if you're found
to engage in activities that influence the outcome of games,
your point shaving, or you're providing information a by the way,
are our quarterback could have an MCL That's what I'm hearing.
(10:25):
Just you know, didn't hear it from me? You could
be done in college. That could be at permanent loss.
Gone hit it, You're out of here. And the other
part of this is student athletes. I love how they
put that quote unquote student athletes who bet on their
own sport but not involving their school. So let's say
(10:47):
I'll just use a couple of random schools, Notre Dame Okay,
say there's a football player at Notre Dame and he
bets on the Florida Florida State football game. Right, it's
a game not involving himself. That person is subject to
a potential loss of fifty percent of one season. Okay,
you compare that to the NFL Isaiah Rodgers betting on
(11:10):
NFL games, you know, Calvin Ridley betting on NFL games
full season, no questions asked in college, same situation. You're
looking at potentially half of this season. Okay, Now, this
is the weirdest part to me. So they're going to
consider the NC doable A. They're going to consider how
(11:31):
much was wagered, like the total amount over the course
of however long. They're gonna add up this cumulative dollar
value and so bets totally and get this two hundred
and one to five hundred dollars. If you're in that range,
(11:53):
it could be ten percent of the season it costs you. Now,
now if you're a totally that's more than eight hundred dollars,
it could result in the loss of thirty percent of
the season in terms of your eligibility. Who who came
up with this? Who who came up with This is
(12:16):
the thing, man, you ever subscribe to the Kiss method,
Keep it simple, stupid, you know. I feel like policies
should absolutely adhere to that you know, standard where in
(12:37):
order for people to remember what's what, you gotta make
it simpler than this. I'm not saying this is equals
MC squared or something, but it's so wordy and so convoluted,
and so it's like, just simplify this stuff. What was
Who's gonna know that? If I say, you know, three
(12:58):
weeks from now, all right, pop, is how much of
the season could you be ineligible for if your bets
total between two hundred and one and five hundred dollars,
what's the percentage there? Like, who's gonna remember any of that?
This is what it boils down to. If you're a
college athlete, probably better to not bet on sports period.
(13:19):
That's just all these penalties and any inside information. Don't
do it, don't place bets. It's just as a college athlete,
you're better off not doing it. In the NFL, they
give you more wiggle room. Just don't bet on the
NFL in any capacity, games, the NFL Draft, what have
anything with NFL. Don't do it. And then for whatever reason,
(13:41):
don't bet at the facility. That's it. But man, like
all of these bullet points and subheaders and it's just
too much going on. It's like the NFL's policy should be,
don't bet on the NFL, don't bet at the facility,
no inside information. You gotta chance for players to remember
(14:02):
three things. I'm not saying players are stupid. I'm just saying,
if there's too much thrown at you, it's not all
gonna stick. And what's the point of having a policy
that doesn't stick. I would just keep it as simple
as possible. And they're not. The NFL, isn't the NCAA isn't.
Now with that being said, I go back to something
(14:22):
Bill Belichick said, and this makes all the sense in
the world. You could apply it to the gambling situation
here and now. Now what Bill Belichick was talking about
at the time. He was talking about the new helmet rule.
So if you dropped your head and you initiated contact,
they were throwing penalties. They're calling penalties for doing that,
(14:43):
and so there's a lot of pushback. There was a
lot of why is this the rule? And this sucks?
I don't like this, and this is what Belichick said about.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It, it doesn't really matter whether I like the rule, don't
like the rule, or what I think the rule should
or should be, or should or shouldn't be called. That's
not my job. My job is understand the rule and
to coach it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, that's it. I think that with the gambling stuff
going on here, there's a lot of oh the NFL,
how could they take money from sports books and yet
they're punishing players and what's up with that? And why
this and all that and ba ba ba. It's like
Belichick just said about the helmet rule that applies to gambling.
It's not what you think about it. It's not about
(15:22):
what you think the rules should be and the guidelines
ought to be, and it's just what they are. And
these teams, man, they gotta get it through to their
players what they can and can't do, because you're seeing
players get popped left and right, and depending on how
prominent a player is, that could turn your season sideways.
(15:46):
So I think there should be less time belly aching
about what should and shouldn't be from a team perspective
and just coach them up and say, all right, guys,
here's what we're looking at. Okay, like, don't do this,
don't do that, and we're all good, good, all right
now under practice. But yeah, yeah, it's less belly aching,
(16:06):
more just enforcing the rule even if you completely disagree
with it. That's a better approach for these teams. But
as far as the leagues, like the NFL, NCAA is
too convoluted, man, too much going on. We've got a
lot to get to coming up around the corner here
and feel free to check in. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox is your number at the no show
(16:28):
is where you can find me on Twitter. We'll get
to coops scoops or coops poops. I don't know, maybe
it'd be a two to one in the next hour.
Looking forward to that. Right around the corner here. Oh,
we got a lot to do. We got a potential
reduction which doesn't make any sense to me. And I mean,

Why not?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I could? I could envision that. What could you not
see Iowa Sam at concert wise? Hmm?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Let's see concert wise? CARDI like a hip hop artist
movie car Cardi b is a definite yes, definite Yes,
you wouldn't be there. I would not be Yeah, that's
what I thought, a good call. But I I could
see myself at some hip hop concerts. I get down
(19:33):
some some some hip hop. I'm not really, I'm more
of a hip hop fan than a country fan. So
but rock and roll and grunge, blues.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So you'd be at you'd be at a hip hop
show sooner than Coop would be at a country show.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yes, or I would be at a country show.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
But I can even you know, we we've joked about
it was that guy, uh dirt of my boots, you know,
a little party? Yeah, man, I can get down to
some of that stuff though, too. It's good that gets
gets in the mood.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I love that song. It's a great song, classic.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No idea what you're talking about. Yeah, you don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
No, it sounds awful, honestly, Oh it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
It's a great, great song. It's a pick me up,
turn on my boots. It sounds like every country song
ever written. No, you talk about his pickup truck two, Yeah,
he does mention his pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Come on, let's go, man, see mud on my wheels?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh, John party, let's go.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
How do you not like this.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
Because it sounds like every country song ever, Brian, Let's
not forget that we're from the heart of the country
where this stuff plays a lot more often.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
In these California guys.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
They can't relate.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Man such haters over here? Fun?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Does he talk about drinking beer also?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
But I don't think he does. No, I don't think
he does. That would be a fantastic karaoke song. I
don't know the verses as well, but that chorus is tremendous.
Do you like any country coup? Nothing?
Speaker 5 (21:18):
I can get down with some Johnny Cash.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
There you go. Good.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
That's about the extent of it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I like how Iowa Sam says California. I'm from central California,
So that's that's about as Midwest as you can get
for California, Central America ever hung out in Fresno. I
have not. Okay, well Brian and I have, so yeah, yeah,
it's it's not it's California, but it's not really.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Californiaah, it's more like a you know, a grarian, you know,
farming Central Valley.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It's it's it's red in the in the blue state.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
You might hear a little John Party play, for sure,
playing John Party Plane at the party.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
John Party, you know, rolling down the road, cranking it up,
Coop next to you, just giving that disgusted look like,
oh gosh, you're just taking up space right now. Polluting
the air with this awful music. Uh yeah. Hey, by
the way, Eddie, I wanted to mention this to you, so,
uh you hear about this new There's a pepsi condiment.
(22:22):
It's gonna be set for the fourth of July. Yeah
you saw this. I have not seen this, okay, Eddie,
so get ready. It is the Pepsi Colotchup. So it
is the world's first pepsi infused condiment. It is a
mixture of pepsi flavored ketchup that you could put on
(22:45):
your hot dog.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh, that sounds terrible. It's called it col It's called colchis.
It sounds terrible. The name of it sounds terrible, and
the description sounds terrible.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think right, it's cola and ketchup colotchup.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It sounds like that. I don't want to have or
have you.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
Ever had a colatch. It's like it's like a type
of Danish I think you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Know when you said that, Iowa, it does sound like
some sort of you know, medical Yeah, yeah, I get
your coach, get it checked, man, you know, can save you. Yeah.
Some of these quotes are hilarious, Eddie. So one of
these is, uh, we invented pepsi colatchup to reinforce just
(23:31):
how well hot dogs and pepsi go together. And unapologetically
mouthwatering creation that seamlessly merges a condiment with the ultimate
hot dog pairing beverage delivered delivering a unified taste experience,
is what they're going that. I don't know. Maybe these
pepsi people came up with the gambling policies in the
(23:52):
NFL and the nc double A, with the punishments and
all that. That's a lot of words and none of
it's going to stick with you at all, none, But I.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Do like the name, isn't isn't ketchup already like acidic enough?
What you're adding cola to it, which is also a cidic.
I'd rather just wash down the hot dog with pepsi,
not have it in my condiment.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah there.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Do you know about Do you know about Eddie's Uh,
Eddie's sort of a pickle policies, Brian pickle guy?
Speaker 5 (24:22):
You like pickles?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Love pickles?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Yeah, like a dill spear. Oh love it? Yeah, Eddie, Eddie,
what are you?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
What are your thoughts on that it's the devil's fruit?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
He's not wrong they're discussing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Nothing grosses me out more than my wife and I
have season passes at Disneyland. We go to go every Friday.
It's like our getaway from people just launching those Oh
my god, it is devils, Oh my god, it is.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
And it's the worst because it's not like you. You
go somewhere and you ask for no pickles, and if
they don't do no pickles, the sandwich is ruined. Because
you can't just take a pickle off of the sandwich.
It contaminates the entire thing with it.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
There's nothing worse than biting into a cheeseburger when they've
left a pickle on there and you've asked them not to.
Oh god, but it adds a requisite crunch crunch.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I love that ad bacon for crunch.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, that's not a bad call at all.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
No, how about both?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
No sign me up for both? All day I feel
good about myself. Normally I'm the one that sounds like
you guys like oh cross hate it, terrible, awful yuck.
And for one time I'm on the other side of like,
no way, give me more. Throw some more on that
sandwich over there.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I love chicken sandwiches. God, I hate when they
insist on putting pickles on them. Just awful.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I didn't realize this is as hard hardcore of a take.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
I love dill seasoning, though, How can you.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Hate pickles but love dill seasoning.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
It's or like the herb like dyl it is. It
smells so good.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Well does love herbs.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
By the way, I don't know if you've sampled these
other pepsi products here, Eddie, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'm not a pepsi pepsi guy.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh really, okay, I didn't know that. You're like Roy Williams,
the old North Carolina head coach, big coch. Yeah, all
about Coca cola. But there was pepsi infused pepperoni. I
don't know about that. There was also Peep's flavored pepsi.
I've seen these cans. I have not tasted that.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I would like to end this conversation now.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's grossing you out there.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
It's really terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You have room for one more or No, I've never
heard of this one. This is the worst sounds more. Okay,
So the company called on fans to mix its cola
with milk to create eight pilk that's the real thing.
During the holiday season.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I don't know. I'm I'm I'm the oldest guy on
the show.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
Here.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
There was some sitcom where one of the characters drank
milk and PEPSI is anybody that, yeah, milk and pets
like lavernon Shirley or something like that. That was their drink,
their famous drink.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That was sort of like it was Lavern and Shirley,
No kidd and that was pretty like the Arnold Palmer.
That was the weird blend that didn't take off.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Pet and milk was the favorite drink of Peenny Marshall's
character on the Classics sitcom with Shirley Coop.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
The things that are stored in this brain, it's just
it's just terrible. It's terrible that that is taking up
space of something that could be beneficial to me, but
that's in there.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Did you experiment with that?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
No, no, no, I don't know. You just said that
sounded terrible. I'm sure she didn't either in real life.
It was just a quirky thing about her character. I
guess that is.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's a random fun fact right there.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You're welcome, Thank you, Eddie, appreciate it. Pil pilk.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
They never called it pilk though on the show. I
don't think.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Like the advanced, the advancement here, like we're coming up
with new, improved, So we got a name for it.
That's terrible. That's an awful idea. I can't imagine that's
good at all.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
By Fosco Here with Tony Fusco. Yeah, of course you
know us as the host of the number one rated
Polly and Tony Fusco show world Right now. We all
know you're sick and tired of these stupid sports shows
where the hosts say stupid things like Tom Brady's the goat.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Or Lebron James is good at basketball, which he is
clearly not.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
See, we give you smart takes.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Yeah, and we also bring on so called famous guests

Speaker 1 (28:56):
You're off the show.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Listen to the ball Tony Fusco Show on the I
Hot Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I saw the riddle here, Eddie, Yes, staring us in
the face. It was the last guy before Wednesday to
do it, had to beat Felix Hernandez, right, the other
Latin pitcher to go uh perfecto.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Well maybe that was the obvious one. The obvious one.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I don't know, Dennis Martinez, Felix Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
And do you remember where Dennis Martinez was from.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't off the top of my head.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh wow, yeah, not a lot of big leaguers from Nicaragua,
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Shout out to him. Very nice. Wow, no kidding, fun
fact right there. He was a really good picture Dennis Martinez.
Remember he had, did he not Eddie? You remember this?
That huge tobacco like he was a guy that he
went all in on tobacco.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I had a golf ball in his mouth.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He dude, he had like if you took the whole
thing of Big League two, you know, the packets, Yeah,
and put that in the side of your mouth. That's
basically what he had with actual tobacco. He had the
whole thing going over there. But entertaining pitcher. By the way,
a couple of tweets rolling in here at the no
show we were talking about you know, if you're a
(30:17):
fan of the home team, and the opposing team does
something historic. Now, what is on your list that you
would actually cheer for other than a perfect game? I
don't know what there would be, but there are a
lot of A's fans cheering for Domingo Herman on Wednesday
night as he went perfect, though, which is totally understandable,
(30:40):
especially in their situation. The team's about to move and
they've got about twenty wins. Of course you would cheer
for a perfect game. I would cheer for a perfect
game even if the stakes were a lot higher. But anyway,
Kathleen checked in and said, Brian, she was at the
Brewers Yankees game at the Old County Stadium and Reggie
(31:02):
Jackson got a standing ovation by the Brewers fans. So
every now and then it happens. Gary checks in and said,
I attended the Randy Johnson and Mark Burley perfect games.
That's pretty cool. Casey car Haller says I could stomach
a Chief's loss via seventy yard field goal. Okay, all right,
(31:25):
like not quite Denver over there, you know, at the
elevated sea level. I don't know if someone's going for
seventy at Arrowhead, but I understand it. I get it.
I don't even know this is true. The Russian kid
checked in and said pre Joe Burrow era Duncan Donuts
was giving away free donuts on Mondays if the Bengals
(31:48):
won a game on Sunday, and wow, that hard times
for the Bengals for They're like, if we win, free stuff,
you know, just come on in get your stuff. I
thought they're doing that now because they're actually.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
The charger side of thing. If you get they get
an interception, you get a chicken sandwich from Popeyes. We
took advantage of that.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Wow, No, kidd, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Absolutely, that's a.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Really good giveaway like that. Let's get out to Michael.
He's in clear Water. Wants to check in here, Michael,
you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Bud?
Speaker 10 (32:21):
Hey, Brian, My apologies. I'm on allergy meds and if
this comes across as a fever dream, you know, blame
it on the prescription med. But yeah, I'm a big
Tampa Bay Bucks fan obviously, and I imagine we have
tropical storms and hurricanes out in the golf all the time.
So here's the Scenariobrian, you get a big storm out
in the golf, but it's not enough to hit the
(32:43):
Tampa Bay area and postpone the game, right, and it
comes down to overtime. Let's say they're playing a team
I despise, like the Chicago Bears, and it comes down
to overtime and there's a gust from the storm front
that allows the Bears kicker and overtime to win the
game with a seventy nine yard record setting field goal.
(33:05):
It's win date, and I have the perfect position to
see it barely clear the crossbar. I think that would
resonate with me forever. I wondered if you found that
something you would like to see in personally, I think
that would be a loss I could live with.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You know now that you're I appreciate you checking in, Mike,
and you made perfect sense, you know, on the allergy
meds and everything. I thought it was well reasoned, but
I hadn't thought about it like that where you think
about just crazy wind and some insanely long field goal
where you know, seventy seventy nine sounds obnoxious, but I'd
(33:42):
be quite the you know, the windstorm right there. But
you guys got me thinking where it would be cool
to see that. I mean again, if This is like
the last second field goal and your team loses and
it's heartbreaking. But you saw a history, it'd be a
little bit like I think this sucked actually, But wasn't
(34:05):
it the record breaker where the Ravens kicker against the Lions.
Remember how it hit the crossbar and then barely Doington?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It was crazy Tucker?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, Justin Tucker.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That guy's awesome. He's reach and that's the Steeler. Fancy
that about a Ravens player. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Uh, the only I went. I took my sister to
a Ravens Lions game, not that one, Eddie, but won
before that and Tucker. I forget how many field goals
he made that that day. He made probably four or
five field goals, very low scoring game, and the Ravens
won because of Justin Tucker. He's amazing, amazing kicker.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Has anyone on the staff seen a no hitter?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
By the way, No, I haven't, are you?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I came close? Uh? I was in San Diego for
a Pirates Padres game. Uh Chris Young you remember him?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Oh? Yeah, like the Padres real tall guy.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah was I'm looking at two thousand and
six and he was two outs away and I actually
was cheering for him to get it against my team
because screw it, you know, yeah, right, yeah, And then
Joe Randa had a pinch hit to run Homer with
one out in the ninth, and that was that.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It's always funny when your guy breaks up the no
hitter and people are like, dude, come on, we wanted
to see history.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Like, yeah, it was. It was like to take the lead,
I've been all right, but they still lost six to two.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So I was like, that's funny when it works out
like that. But hey, we're brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Got any love for skid row over there, Eddie?
Speaker 2 (36:40):
A little bit. That's kind of from my like my
high school days. I listened to all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
I could just picture you just raising hell with some
skid row in the background, you know, just something obnoxious.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, drinking beer in an orange grove. I was raising hell.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Right, Yeah, yeah I can. I could see it there, Eddie.
Where are you are you? This is a terrible question.
Are you originally from Fresno.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Like central California? Yes? I was. I was born in
Hawaii military kid, but moved to Central California. Was raised
in a little town called Porterville.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Porterville, Yeah, okay, I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah really that's surprising.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, how far away? Is it from Fresno?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Not, it's a it's about equidistance from Bakersfield to Fresno,
like kind of right there.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like doable. I've heard of it. No
I've ever been there. But by the way, what do
you think about this? So there's a story that MLB
they're thinking about maybe reducing the schedule to one hundred
and fifty four games, so they'd, you know, chop off
eight games. The reason would be to make room for
(37:52):
more international games where you just had this London series
with the Cubs and Cardinals, and you would make more
room free up the schedule, more traveling, showcase the game overseas,
that sort of thing. I don't know, Eddy, I don't
know why you have to reduce the season to make
this happen. Well, we just had the London series. It's
(38:15):
still one hundred and sixty two games. How many series
is each team gonna play internationally? Probably only playing one series.
I doubt you would do more than that. I don't
think you have to reduce any games. And it makes
sense to go and play overseas, that's fine. I get it,
growing the game all that, but I don't think you
have to reduce the schedule to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean, I wouldn't think so. Like I guess, just
to travel, you know, is time going to help. How
much time do you need off before you go to
London and come back. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, you'd have to be going I you know, I
don't know where their their plans are where. It's much
more travel than London and all that. I just think
it can be done without reducing the schedule. A lot
of talk about reducing the schedule, and I just I
don't think it's realistically going to happen, all right. Coming
up next, some hideous sports takes and a funny cameo
