Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, what's going on? Hope everything is going great in
your world. We'll get to the militia here momentarily. Or
one of the wacky conversations we had off the air.
I wanted to bring on the air real fast. So
there was another sex toy thrown on the court of
a WNBA game, another one DJ Khaled once famously said,

(00:20):
or still famously says, and I just it reminded me
of a story where I was at the Bush push
game a USC beat Notre Dame in two thousand and five,
famous game. You know, Reggie Bush pushed Matt Lionert into
the end zone. USC one fight on the whole thing.
And during that game, I was sitting on top of

(00:41):
the our standing on top of the press box, and
I saw Notre Dame score a touchdown and someone just
heaved a big gulp like this monstrous soft drink and
celebration just hurled it like I don't know, a good
forty to fifty rows something crazy, and it just nailed
this dude in the side of the head. And you

(01:02):
know how I saw moric brain works here. I couldn't
help but think we had this instance in the WNBA,
this couple of nights ago. This was another one. That's right,
Mary Mack, another one, another one that's right. Absolutely shout
out DJ Khalid. Side note, I hate when people say
Colled it's not Colled. He shouts himself out in every

(01:23):
song it's DJ Khaled. My gosh, what's that. He doesn't
do it the right way.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's actually pronounced Collin.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well, I'm going with how he pronounces his name. You know,
that's got to be the way it is. Yeah. If
Joe thiseman says pronounce it, this mean it's not these
men anymore. It's like, well, we got to respect that.
That's fine. But it's DJ Khalid. You know, like the
cal Bears, they're not the coll Bears, They're the cal Bears.

(01:51):
Embrace your inner Midwestern voice, cal you know, get into
those a's right there, Cal Khalid, that's right, deserves a
DJ aarhorn right there. I feel like I've fired up
the troops right there. Okay, So getting back to the
WNBA here real fast. So this happened a couple of
nights ago. There was a neon green sex toy that

(02:14):
was hurled from the crowd did not make it to
the court. Instead, it hit a dude and this young
girl only nine years old. It struck the uncle and
the young nine year old girl. And so the question is,
if you had to pick this is kind of like
would you rather die this way or die that way?

(02:34):
If you're at a sporting event, you're just mining your business.
I'm in Row ten cool, and all of a sudden,
you either get hit by a neon green sex toy
or you get hit by a monstrous sized big gulp.
Which are you choosing? Mary matc coop, I'm curious what
your what your choice is?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
You gotta pick one. Where are you going going sugary
soft drink? Are you going neon green sex toy? Which
is it?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Well, there's so many factors that determine the correct answer here. Okay,
the if the sex toy is used, then the obvious
answer is the soft drink.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
If it's brand new out of the package, you know,
then you gotta you know, look at you determined? You
know what size? Is it? All right? Because right then
we're thinking, is am I gonna get knocked out? Or
is it just gonna be like embarrassing because you just
got hit in the face with a sex toy?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, I can answer a couple of these questions. Okay, right,
all right, this is important because we go back. This
is the Phoenix Mercury game. This was on Tuesday. This
was August fifth, a couple of days ago. So this kid,
Caden Lopez, he's eighteen years old, and you saw the
picture all over the web, right, the neon green sex toy.
So it was a healthy size and it's just brand new, purchased.

(03:55):
You know, there's no way this eighteen year old kid,
he just bought this thing. Let's just assume this is
the case. Pretty sure it is. He bought this sex toy,
you know, and he hurls it so good size, brand new.
There you go.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think if we're talking about that specific one, I
think we have to go with the sex toy, because
if you get hit with the soft drink, full, big
gulp sized soft drink, you're sticky, you're soaked, you're at
the you know, the arena, and then you got to
get back in your car.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
If you know, if you've got a nice car with
like nice leather and tier, you don't want to get
in there with the drenched in soda.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's true, that's true, Mary Mack, What do you go with.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'd be living with both both of them. Yeah, it'd
be a bad day for everybody.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
It would be. I think it'd be a worse day
if you got hit with the green sex.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Toy, I'd have to go with the sex toy. It
would be I'm not gonna lie to I'd be so mad.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I know, you know what. I'm gonna go soft drink.
I'm gonna go with the b gulp that happened at
the Push Push game because this a couple of weeks now.
One I might have a concussion. There's a very good
possibility if this hits me in the head like it
did the one poor fan in five good chance I've
got a concussion. But I think the odds are pretty

(05:17):
good that you're not wearing this soft drink. You know
what I mean. If it hits you in the head,
I doubt that it's exploding and all of the soft
drink is going on you. I think it's going on
the next two rows in front of you. So there's
a good chance to get mil mild concussion, no sugary
soft drink. I think that's the better way to go.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
You'll still get hit for sure.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Maybe a little, but I don't think you're wearing the
whole soft drink, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I think you'll get a majority of it, though, Yeah,
it depends if it hits you square on and the
cup just like explode like you know, yeah, then you're
getting drenched. In order for what to happen, like what
you said, happen, it's gotta you gotta be hit like
at at a like one the end of the soft
drink so that it kind of like spins off. And then.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I had a flashback to the Red Sox fan who
got hit with a pizza. You remember that famous video
That was a funny one. Oh man, that was a
great one.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think I'd be equally mad I get hit with anything.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, I mean you'd have to be. But that's the thing,
the difference between the sex toy hitting you when you're
minding your business watching a game and the soft drink
hitting you when you're minding your business. I think everybody
feels sorry for you if the soft drink hits you,
But if the sex toy hits you, it's like everybody's
liable to just laugh at you, you know what I mean.

(06:38):
And that's not now you have to go crazy on
everyone I've been.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Bad for the uncle though. Imagine I haven't explained that
to like you'rre nine.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Years Oh man, that's a great that's a great point.
You're there like, all right, Jenny, your first sporting event.
Maybe that's a game. All right, let's let's see the
this the w NBA game. Though. Look, these these women
are really talented and boom, you're just helted with the
sex toy out of nowhere and you're you gotta.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Explain, how do you explain that one like in the
third grade. You're like in the third grade and you're
like nine, Like, imagine, wow, you go to school the
next day's supposed to learn timestable incursive and you gotta
explain how you got hit by Like.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Pretty bad. It's a good point. Yeah, you're there with
your nine year old niece. That does change the math,
right there.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, bad day regardless.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, Hey, listen, I there are good arguments on both sides.
I'll go soft drink. I'll take my chances. There's no
explanation for the soft drink. You know, crazy fans do
stupid things that games, Jenny, that's all you gotta say.
That's it. You're done. Your explanation is over, and maybe
you don't even get the soft drink on your head.
You know, I go soft drink in that one. There

(07:50):
you go, all right, militia, feel free to wait in
on that or anything else. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox is your number. Let me go real fast
curveballs this season. I'll go real fast because I want
to get the militia in here. So I'm always looking
each NFL season what's going to be the biggest surprise team?
Good or bad? So I did a couple of teams

(08:12):
last hour. High expectations, supposed to be really good. What
are the chances they fall off? Let's be positive here.
Some teams with you know, modest win totals, we're not
expecting great things most likely from them. What are their
fighting chances to be the surprise team of this season?
So I'll throw a few out here now. One of

(08:33):
the red flags is a couple of the teams on
this list they won like eight nine ish games last season.
Think about the Washington Commanders. They're coming off a four
win season and then won twelve games, made it to
the championship game in the NFC, So it might be
one of those bottom feeder ish teams. What about a

(08:54):
team like Jacksonville. They were four and thirteen last season,
only won four games. Lawrence injured for a good portion
of the season. Let's say Trevor Lawrence is healthy, Trevor
Lawrence finally turns the corner and performs like the number
one pick and the talented QB that we know he

(09:15):
is but hasn't realized that potential got Travis Hunter to
go along with Brian Thomas Junior. Looks like Travis Owner
is gonna play wide receiver a good amount of the time.
You'd have to give him a fighting chance to be
a candidate for the biggest surprise team in a good
way fighting chance. Another team, I think you'd have to

(09:35):
say the Patriots. Now, the red flag is there are
a lot of people that are relatively high on the Patriots.
So sometimes those teams disappointment. Another four win another one,
another four win team from last season. And what's really
interesting and a little bit peculiar if you look at

(09:55):
their similarities to last year's Washington Commanders. Lot of similarities, right,
So you think, like the Commanders leading into last season,
four win team, Patriots leading into this season four win team,
Commanders had a last play schedule last season. Obviously, the
Patriots have a last play schedule this season. Another thing,

(10:17):
Washington got all these free agent acquisitions last season, really
upgraded their roster, had a lot more talent than they
did during the four win season. What did the Patriots
do this offseason? A lot of free agents that they
picked up a lot more talent on that roster than
they had last season. Something else that's even stranger. So

(10:38):
the Patriots this season. The two divisions outside of their
own that they play AFC North, NFC South. Who did
Washington play last season? You guessed it, same two divisions
AFC North, NFC South and Washington. They were led by
a rookie quarterback, Jade and Daniel. Guess what, the Patriots

(11:01):
have a quarterback that was taking one selection after Jaden
Daniels and Drake May who played pretty well all things considered,
didn't have many weapons around him. What if he takes
a big leap forward? So yeah, I'd have to say
the Patriots have a fighting chance as a candidate for
the biggest surprise team in a good way. Again, we're

(11:22):
not racing to the betting windows saying this is going
to happen. We're just trying to open our mind up
to the possibility that it indeed happens. Okay, a couple
other candidates. How about the Falcons. Michael Pennick Junior started
three games last season. Let's say he's way better than
Kirk kirk Cousins was last season, and Kirk Cousins was

(11:45):
bad last season. He had some rough outings. They play
in a trash division. What if all of a sudden
they have a pass rush. They drafted two you know,
defensive like rush ends in the first round. They picked
up Leonard Floyd free agent. Like, maybe their pass rush
is much better. Maybe Michael Pennix is much better this

(12:06):
season than their quarterback play last season. I'd have to
say they're at least a candidate. I like the Arizona Cardinals.
I think that Jonathan Gannon has done a very good
job thus far. They doubled their win total last season
compared to the previous year. They upgraded the defense. I
like some of their acquisitions drafted. I mean, every team

(12:27):
has a draft picks, but I think some of theirs
could pan out. What if Marvin Harrison Junior takes a
big leap forward, It's not hard to see that happening.
Trey McBride is one of the better tight ends. Kyler
Murray's all right, he's good ish, you know, above average.
Let's say he has a really good season. He's fully
capable of having one. I think Arizona's live to win

(12:48):
that division. Biggest surprise team. Again, we're just trying to
open our minds to the possibility. And one other that
no one would like. How about the Boys? Their win
total is seven and a half. You gotta love the
over They won seven games last season and Dak played

(13:10):
eight games. He missed over half the season. Like imagine
if he plays a full season. They threw his stats
up there. The last three seasons, he's played at least
sixteen games. He's thrown for at least forty four hundred yards.
He's put up real numbers if he plays a full season.
Dallas is absolutely live to be an eight to nine team.
I know that, you know, the Eagles are good, Washington's

(13:32):
really good, some really good teams. But how many teams
are putting up a lot of wins if their quarterback
misses nine games? Not many, not many? So I think Dallas,
they've got a talented roster. They won twelve games the
previous three seasons and then the wheels fell off. They
only won seven last year, but to be one win

(13:55):
away from hitting the over seven and a half last year. Right,
That wasn't their win total last season, but it's their
win total this season. They were one win away from
exceeding that number last year and Dak missed eight games.
Man Like, I love the Cowboys at least over seven
and a half. Biggest surprise team. It's a stretch, but

(14:17):
we're just looking at possibilities here. I love trying to
It's the needle in the haystack. Who's going to be
the biggest surprise team, the biggest curve ball this season.
I love that stuff all right. All militia, all day
long coming up next, and we also have coop Scoops
right around the corner as well. Looking forward to that.

Appreciate you guys being a patient with me. Jibber jabbering
over here. Alright, let's get a nick over in Berkeley.
Let's hear what he has to say. What's going on?

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Nick?

Speaker 7 (16:00):
Hey doctor? No, check it out, man, there's a deal.
So the Niners about to win the West and the
rest of the teams ain't got nothing coming. Cardonins ain't
got nothing coming. And I'll be happy to bet you.
I'll bet you some food if you want. But let
me tell you something. If the Bengals can get any
type of defense, Burrows is the man. I'm telling you, man,
he has bombs away if they could just if they

(16:20):
could just keep him, you know, like a little bit
rested instead of you know, I mean just going three
and out all the time. Man, Like it's just crazy, man.
And then like I don't know what what what you
know new quarterback and the Steelers is gonna do Rogers.
He's a quitter. Miners made him quit all the time.
So I think I think, you know, the Ravens and
Lake Equids, and then with the Chechens, I like those Colts.

(16:42):
I think that da Golt just going edge him out
and then going toft West. They got to go with
the Broncos because you know what, the Chiefs got exposed
to the Super Bowl, man, and that that double hands
head flapped them homes. He can't live that down for
a while, man, And I'm tired of seeing you know,
Peppermin Patty and cheating Andy Ree you know, always win
the West, So come along, you've got to fuck up,

(17:04):
you know. And the Broncos did really good against yesterday,
so they ship Greenlaw and in one or two gages
on a couple of leg defensive stop, you know what
I mean. And as far as the Eagles go, but
they gonna be I don't know. I think the Cowboys, man,
the Cowboys might, man, I'd like to pick on that one.

Speaker 8 (17:22):
And then as far as the.

Speaker 7 (17:23):
Lions, Vikings, Packers and Bears, I like those Bears to
sneak in there. But I think the Packers don't win
that division. I don't know why. I just think they're
gonna do it. And then I love you tick them
with the Falcons because that left you be slinging it. Man,
he's fought, he's gonna fire the last season. And then
you know, of course with my Niners, we're about to

(17:43):
let the rest of these teams down because we got
solid back and we got the news defenders that are
flying around the field, so we're about to.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Let them have it. Man.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Okay, you love you some underdogs there, Nick, I appreciate
you checking in. Loves the long shots man, that's uh, listen.
I love the exercise trying to find the curve ball.
But it's hard. It is hard to find the biggest
surprise team in a good way. It's hard to find
the good teams, you know, falling off significantly. It's not

(18:11):
easy to foresee that because like the biggest surprise who again,
who was saying last season, Washington, They're gonna win twelve games,
make it to the NFC Championship game. Exactly. Nobody was
saying that, So it's really tough to pinpoint that. So
I'm just thrown out possibilities, willy nilly. That doesn't mean
I'd be betting on all this stuff to happen. The

(18:31):
Colts have virtually no shot to win their division. You're
gonna have Danny Dimes most likely behind center most of
the year. Yeah, good luck with that. I mean, it's
not a tough division. But again, the Texans, I think Jacksonville.
I can absolutely see those teams winning the division easier

(18:52):
than I can the Colts. The Broncos. Like that's let
me just focus on one point, because I could hit
on every one of them, and I'm gonna take ten minutes,
and I want to do that. But this idea that
the Chiefs were exposed in the Super Bowl and they
got exposed by the Eagles. How many teams have the
talent that the Eagles had on that roster. How many

(19:16):
teams have a two thousand yard running back, like the
number two scoring defense in football, best offensive line, some
of the best weapons to throw to. Who has all that?
Who has a pass rush like the Eagles had last season?
Who has all of that? And also the Chiefs they
made this draft pick with Josh Simmons out of Ohio State.

(19:38):
Only reason he fell he had a knee injury. Scared
a lot of teams off. The Chiefs love this guy.
They're raving about this dude. So this idea that the
Chiefs have been exposed, they get Rashie Rice back, They've
addressed their offensive line, you get a healthy Hollywood Brown,
you got so many weapons, they had a top five

(19:58):
scoring defense. Also idea, they've been exposed and now all
of a sudden, what the Raiders are going to take
him down? Get out of here. It's like not every
team is on the same level as the Eagles. They
would have to be on a similar level for the
Chiefs to be truly exposed. I don't buy it at all.
Mahomes is thirty five and five in his career against

(20:20):
the AFC West and just because they got blown out
in the first half by the Eagles, like all of
a sudden, the Raiders and the Broncos and Chargers have
their number. I don't buy it at all at all.
I don't think they've been exposed whatsoever. But hey, that's
what makes it interesting. That's why we watch. We'll see.
Oh we got helmet Man. Let's go to him. Helmet Man,

(20:40):
you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
The morning?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Top of the Morning to you too, helmet Man, what's
going on?

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Buddy?

Speaker 8 (20:50):
This character this is enough character assassination against OJ sippsgg
off his marriage for seventeen years. There's no witness that
ever came in court.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
That Helmet Man, Are you serious right now? What are
you talking about? Dude? This is the worst call of
all time.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Has been watching the OJ trial for like the past
two years.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
What are you talking about, helmet Man?

Speaker 8 (21:25):
This was a person that deals with sports his name.
That's why I've been doing this for a long time.
Didn't he tell you before I came on? He told
you that I was going to talk about J. Pipson.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, he didn't tell me that, but he certainly didn't
tell me we were gonna make no sense while talking
about the O. J. Simpson trial. Like, what are you
doing here, helmet ryant?

Speaker 8 (21:49):
If you listened all the time, you know, talk about that?

Speaker 1 (21:56):
All right, I'm listening for a good point, helmet man,
I'm on the prow for a good Well, you gotta
good point here. What do you have for us?

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Well, you want to talk about the Oiols and the Ravens?

Speaker 6 (22:08):

Speaker 6 (22:10):
Oh? Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I got you?

Speaker 8 (22:14):
Yeah, the Orioles is fifty something wins and fifty something losses? Okay,
the Ravens. Did their quarterback get injured? I heard somebody
was telling me the quarterback got injured.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
I don't know. It's not Lamar Jackson, so it doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
Oh it's not Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
No, Lamar didn't play.

Speaker 8 (22:45):
Oh yeah, because preseasons. Yeah, well, how about the Oils.
What do you think about the Oiols?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't think much about him. To be honest with
your helmet man. But hey, listen, man, I appreciate you
checking in. I love you, dude. But man, rough one,
we start off with like o J is man, he's in.
He's been targeted this poor O J. Simpson, and then

Speaker 2 (25:31):
All right? Thank you? Brian. All right, So, as always
on this segment, we're gonna start off in the theaters
and there's a couple new movies this weekend of notes.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
The first one is Freaky Your Friday. That's right, Jamie
Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back for a sequel
to Freaky Friday, the original two thousand and three films.
So it's been it's been twenty two years. Wow, Wow,
no kid, Yes, but I never saw the crowd's loving

(26:05):
this one so far. It's got great audience scores, but
I never saw the original. My wife is like, we
have to go see this. I'm like, well, I haven't
seen the originals. She said, well, no, no, I'm gonna
make you watch the original and then we have to
go see this, So you're gonna you're gonna like it,
trust me. Like Jamie Lee Curtis is great. I do
like Jamie Lee Curtis, but I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
You don't sound too fired up for this, like double
feature homework assignment.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I'm not super fired up about it. But we'll see. Maybe,
you know, maybe on a future edition of Coop Scoop.
I will let you guys know what I thought if
if she does get me to go to this movie.
Also in the theaters this weekend is the movie Weapons Now.
This one has taken the movie world by storm. It's

(26:51):
got great critic reviews, great audience reviews. It's got a
ninety seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes right now. It is
a horror movie that stars Garner of Ozark's fame. It's
also got Josh Brolin in it, and it is a
Benedict Wong. Also, it is creepy, it is weird. Wow.
But it was really good. I really enjoyed it. I

(27:13):
highly recommend. I saw it earlier on I saw.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
It on Thursday, nice right before the show. Huh, yes,
it was.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
It was great. If you were into horror movies that
are kind of disturbing, I would say, go check that out.
It's a great one.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
I never finished Ozark. I don't know why. Very good
first season. I didn't finish it. I need to do that,
I think.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, I definitely do. Ozark was a was a great show.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I'll watched it all the way through. It was it
never really fell off too bad. Moving over to television though.
Speaking of television, the big thing to point out is
this Tuesday, August twelfth, we have the premiere of Alien Earth.
That's right, I'm stoked about this one. Brian, have you
seen the Alien movies? No, you haven't seen any of

(27:59):
the movies?

Speaker 6 (28:00):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Wow, I know, all right. Well, anyway, the forty six
year old Alien film franchise moves to television for the
first time. This is a prequel series. It's created by
Noah Hawley, who also he created the TV version of
Fargo for FX back in the Day, which was fantastic
the first season of that show one of the best

(28:22):
seasons of TV ever, by the way. But yes, Alien
Earth on FX and Hulu, eight pm, Tuesday, August twelfth.
This is the first entry in the franchise to take
place on Earth. Well, yes, and there's a rival mega
corporations that govern Earth, and there's a crash on Earth.

(28:44):
And then of course the soldiers that investigate the crash,
you know, you know what they find.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Of course, where was everything else? There? Coop, where was everything?
If not on Earth?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Some of them were just in space, like on space ships.
One of them was on another planet. All of them
are on other planets.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Was it a real other planet or like a fake
fake other planet.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I mean, maybe it's some planet in some galaxy that
i've you know that it's actually been named by some scientists.
But it's not any like, not any of our home planets. No, no,
no Milky Way planets.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Gotcha?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah? And uh yeah so the uh this cast is
led by Sidney Chandler, who I I'm sorry, I don't
know who that is. But Timothy Oliphant is also in
this show. Big fan of Timothy Oliphant.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Man, I would take this to heart. If I'm an
actor and you don't know anything about this person, you know,
I'd be like, Man, I gotta step my game up.
Coop knows a lot of actors, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
All Now you've good like made me feel bad. So
have to google her real quick and see if I
recognize her.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
No and no, giant, No, that's even worse.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
Man.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
She's known for a show called Sugar, which was on
Apple TV plus that for one Sea and I did
not watch that one.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Where does Sugar the System of a Down Song rank
for you among their other songs? Oh?

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Hi, very right, it's a great song. Great song, yes,
last but not least, I want to mention. On Wednesday,
August the thirteenth is a R rated animated comedy on
Netflix called Fixed and it Is. It spends a day
in the life of a good dog bull played by
Adam Devine, who has just twenty four hours left until

(30:30):
being neutered. Oh no, so he goes on one last
adventure with his pals.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Wait, what's the movie is? It strays? Yes, right right
with Will Ferrell and did you like that one?

Speaker 2 (30:43):
I didn't see that one actually really there with some
funny parts and met and I just never got around
to it. But this one, apart from Adam Devine, it's
also got Catherine Hahn who I love, Idris Elba, Fred Armisen.

Speaker 6 (30:56):
Wo.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, so's some big names in this one.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
And that's It's been a lot of stuff, man is Yeah,
a ton of stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's right, And that is Scoop's going entertainment.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Very well done by you. Okay, fixed, it's the what
a premise? Right, You're gonna get neutered tomorrow? Man, Let's uh,
you know, these poor dogs they don't they don't know that.
Imagine if they did, it'd be a disaster, you know,
crazy craziness, good stuff. I like that could but I

(31:27):
feel like you rescued us we were heading down the
wrong path over there. It's when you're like, all right,
that's great, let's move it along. Hang up. Yeah, that's
not great and the not great sign all right? Coming
up next, we'll close it down in style. I've got
a crazy story for you, uh related to the sports world,

(31:48):
where it's just it sounds made up but it's actually real.
I'll throw it your way next. I'm Brian though in
for Big Ben Mallard. This is Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live there.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
It is.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
That's tradition, right, They're very well done. Marymack I was
thought about this earlier in the day. I'm like, what
if Mary, Max's gonna hit me with some Josh Turner.
It's the only proper way to end a show. Fantastic.
I'm probably no in for Big Ben Meller here on
Fox Sports Radio. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what

(32:30):
and where they drive, shipped fast and free, backed by
free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tyraq dot com. The way tire buying should
be all right, So there's this wild story out of
the NBA, at least connected to the NBA. So there's

(32:51):
this like kleptomaniac. Basically, this guy was stealing jerseys like crazy,
more than four hundred game used jerseys. This guy was
a security officer. He's also a sixty two year old
retired member of the Miami Police Department, and so he's

(33:15):
been accused of stealing all these jerseys. He even stole
Lebron James jersey from Game seven of the twenty thirteen
NBA Finals. So the crazy part of this story law enforcement.
They raided his house in April and they seized almost
three hundred items that the Heat confirmed had been stolen

(33:37):
from their arena. So he was part of the game
day security detail and he had access to this secured
equipment room. And so in this equipment room they had
hundreds of game warn jerseys other memorabilia that the organization
was going to display in a future Miami Heat museum.

(33:59):
So this guy, you could picture of game day kind
of looks to the right, looks to the left, kind
of sneaks into this room and he's like, oh, grab
five jerseys today, maybe another five tomorrow. He accumulated all
these jerseys. So they raid his house and there are
like three hundred jerseys sitting around there, and he's like me,

(34:20):
not me, I didn't you know that sort of thing.
So over a three year period he sold one hundred
one hundred stolen items. He made about two million dollars.
And then you get into a ship these across state
lines all this stuff. What's funny to me is either

(34:41):
he didn't understand the value or he was just trying
to fly under the radar. Not quite sure which, but
the the Lebron Game seven jersey, he sold that one
for about one hundred thousand dollars. That same jersey was
part of an offe and it sold for three point

(35:03):
six eight million dollars. It sold for you know, three
point six million. He sold it initially for one hundred
thousand dollars. So that part of it just cracks me up.
This dude's like either trying to fly under the radar,
has no idea what the value is of it, or
it's like, I got all these other jerseys, What do

(35:23):
I care if I sell it for undervalue? Just give me,
you know, give me six h six figures over here.
I'm good. I don't know what he was thinking. But
and he eventually got busted. So there's that.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
The funny thing at the end of the story that
I was reading said there were similar charges with another guy.
So this guy, Richard Brennan Glebenski, he was a former
Augusta National employee, is working over there and he pled
guilty to stealing items with an estimated five point three

(36:00):
million dollars from the country club. He stole. Arnold Palmer's
green jacket was part of what he stole. Five point
three million dollars worth of stuff that he stole, and
he got busted and get this, after all the stealing
the amount of money five point three million dollars, he

(36:21):
received a twelve month prison sentence in March. And so
they were just comparing the two stories to one another.
You know, I'm not I'm not saying a you know,
do crime over here, but you stole five point three
million dollars worth of stuff and you got to do
one year in the clink. There are a lot of

(36:44):
other crimes you could commit and you're doing way more
than one year, so that I don't know, maybe theft
is the way to go. That's wild, man. I can't
imagine these guys getting away with it for as long
as they did, stealing that amount. The guy stole four
hundred jerseys? How did they not find him out? How

(37:04):
did not figure out it was that guy earlier? That
is crazy to me?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Wow, wild you could steal someone's jersey? Who would it be?

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Though?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Like in any sport man, I don't even know. Mary's
like that. I'm not trying to back out of the
question because I just wouldn't steal, you know what I'm saying, Like,
it's not mine. I just I wouldn't do it. But yeah,
but if I could have someone's jersey, Yeah, let's say
I acquired like someone boosted it and just happened to

(37:33):
sell it to me at a discount price. That sort
of thing. I don't know. I'm not a huge jersey guy,
you know, Mary, Like, I wouldn't be dying. Some of
that stuff is just so weird to me. I'm a
huge sports fan, but some of these sports fans that
are like, ooh, I bought like Michael Jordan's mouthpiece, or
it's like, what's wrong? What's wrong would you do?

Speaker 6 (37:55):
Like?

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Why would you extreme?

Speaker 1 (37:57):
It's weird, right, A lot of that stuff is just odd.
I'm sure listen, if it's a game warn I'm sure
there are many jerseys I would enjoy having, but I
don't think I would get to an alarming level. You coop,
there anything on your list you would love to have?

Speaker 2 (38:12):
She asked me this, and without hesitation, my answer is Kobe. Ah, yeah, yeah,
And I agree with you for the most part. But
Kobe is the exception. If somebody told me, like, hey,
I've got this, you know, game worn mouthpiece from Kobe,
I would I would take that. I would. I would

(38:33):
put it in a in a vacuum sealed box, and
I would put some spotlights on it and display it
in the center of my living room.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Man, Okay, that's where you just that's he's you.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Know, he's the one athlete that like I grew up
idolizing from, you know, from my childhood. That was you know,
whoever wanted to be.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Absolutely man, I get it. There are a lot of
athletes I've loved over the years. Obviously loved Jordan. You know,
if he gave away there was a famous story where
he gave the equipment guy. I think at Salt Lake City.
He gave him his shoes and it was one of
the famous games. I can't remember if it was one

(39:16):
of the finals games, and he gave them his shoes,
and after a long period of time, I think the
guy eventually sold them and it was okay, it was
an all right, it was kind of like agreed upon.
But it's amazing. Think about that level of fame where
you could be like, here you go, equipment guy, here
are my shoes. They'll probably be worth like four million

(39:38):
dollars in you know, a handful of years. Here you go,
here's four mill just for being you. That's crazy. That's
the amount of fame. That's the level of fame that
they're on. Speaking of that level of fame, I'll give
you one more crazy story before we get out of here.
So Tiger Woods. He was the apple of a duchess's eye.

(40:01):
So Sarah Ferguson, she was the Duchess of York and
following her divorce of Prince Andrew, she had her eye
on one Tiger Woods. So there's a new book coming out.
There's an excerpt from a royal biographer, this guy Andrew Loney,
and he's got this new book coming out and he's

(40:22):
got these details. There are claims that Ferguson confided in
Piers Morgan, and she found that Woods found him to
be gorgeous, and she made this fifteen, one hundred mile
trip to meet him. All these days she's at golf
tournament's hanging out and Tiger's just basically like, I'm a
little busy. Probably wouldn't work. He's got a duchess that's like, hey, Tiger,

(40:43):
what's up? Like can we hang? And he's like, nah,
I'm kind of busy with golf. Right That is a
different level of fame right there. It's been fun. Militia
have a great weekend.
