Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, what's going on? I hope you're doing fantastic. Happy
early Thursday morning to you. Hope all is very well. Yeh,
I'm gonna go a little hodgepodge on you here, little
NBA playoffs, a little NFL. Let me start with ball,
you know me, love me some ball. Aaron Rodgers is
(00:25):
in the news, not for the reasons you might think,
but he's being recruited openly by a member of the
Arizona Cardinals. You've seen this story, so Kendrick Bourne. You
know when you close your eyes and think of an
Arizona Cardinal who might be recruiting Aaron Rodgers. Is it
(00:45):
I don't know. Is it Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Junior.
I don't know. No, it is wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
He's fired up X and tweeted at Aaron Rodgers, Just
Aaron Rodgers, come on, we're waiting on you. It's like, wow, Okay.
(01:06):
Then you know, it seems like he's openly recruiting Aaron.
It'd be funny if he was like, Aaron, are you
gonna be a Steeler or what. It's totally not related
to the Arizona Cardinals, but that's how it's being taken,
And so the question is would that be a good
move for Aaron Rodgers. This would make no sense for
Aaron Rodgers or the Arizona Cardinals, like it would make
(01:30):
sense for neither. It would make less sense for the
Arizona Cardinals. And this is a weird sort of like
hidden compliment. If you will, Aaron Rodgers would help the
Arizona Cardinals win some games? Why would they want that?
This is a what projects to most likely be although
(01:52):
it's not set in stone, it looks to be a
very rich quarterback class. Now I know the Arizona Car's
just spent a used a third round pick to get
a quarterback in Carson Beck, formerly of the of Georgia,
formerly of the Miami Hurricanes. Right, they drafted Carson Beck
(02:14):
with the first pick of the third round. I did
have a bet on him going in the second round,
and just to troll me, the Cardinals picked him with
the first selection of the third round. Thank you, I'll
never forget. But uh yeah, so they spent a third
round pick, high third round pick on Carson Beck. That
doesn't mean Carson Beck it's gonna be worth anything in
(02:35):
the NFL. And if the Arizona Cardinals are sitting there
high in the draft. To look at history, they used
a top ten pick to go with cleated Jesus Josh Rosen,
and the very next year they used the number one
overall pick on Kyler Murray. They've done this before. You
(02:56):
don't think they're gonna pick a quarterback if there's one
sitting right there and striking distance, great prospect could be
the savior there. Franchise. They're gonna be like, oh, we've
spent a third round pick on Carson Beck. That's not
gonna slow him down at all. So you bring Aaron
Rodgers in there, he's gonna win you a couple more games,
and you're gonna be a couple spaces lower in the
(03:17):
pecking order of the draft. Why would you do that?
That just doesn't make sense. And for Aaron Rodgers, are
you having more success with the Arizona Cardinals than you
most likely would have with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't
think the Cardinals with Rogers are gonna have a better
record than the Steelers with Rogers. So it's like, why,
(03:39):
I don't understand why he would go. It doesn't make
sense for anybody involved it's just a you know whatever.
It's a tweet that gets your mind work in a
little bit and then you're like, yeah, that's dumb. No
one really benefits. So time to turn the page. Okay,
we get to the NBA playoffs. So we had the Knicks,
the Knicks one on Wednesday night. They beat the Sixers
(04:01):
one o eight to one oh two. No, Joel Embiid
was announced just before the game, you know, a few
hours before the game, well actually earlier in the day really,
that Embiid was out as ankle and hip injuries. And
this is the stat that that blows me away the
most that we've mentioned on the show tonight. We've thrown
(04:22):
numbers and stats and this and that out there. Joel
Embiid hasn't played six games in a row since twenty
twenty three. That is unbelievable to me. We're not talking
forty straight games or you know, two months in a row,
or you know what I mean, Like, we're talking six games.
(04:45):
Hasn't played six games in a row since twenty three.
That's unbelievable to me. Man. That's injuries galore. That's lewd management,
you know, trying to lessen the workload. Of m and
now he's hurt again at the most critical time. It's
crazy and I think you do, as I mentioned at
(05:07):
the top of the show, you have to take your
hat off to Lebron James hasn't missed one playoff game
in his entire career. That is astounding to not miss one,
I mean anything, any type of scenario. It's like, uh,
remember how the Jets didn't have one interception all last season.
They're defense that have one interception, not one all seventeen games.
(05:32):
A corner jumps aroute, a defensive lineman deflex the ball,
something goofy happens, a receiver has butterfingers and it bounces off.
Just pure luck. That not one with Lebron, not one
game missed, not one time they had a three to
one series lead. And it's he's a little iffy, and
(05:53):
you know what, let's just let's let's let him take
the night off. Nothing not once. That's remark.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Now listen, I will say I think it's I think
it's irresponsible to hold everyone to the same level as Lebron.
But I'm not doing that. I'm not asking Joel Embiide
to not miss a playoff game in his entire career.
I'm not I am asking Joel and Biid to maybe
(06:23):
stay healthy for at least six games in a row.
That's I don't think that's too much to ask. I
don't think I'm being too demanding over here, right, So
I'm not holding him bid to the same Lebron level.
But some of these injuries, man, I don't know. Embiad
has had injuries in his career where it's like he's
(06:44):
clearly injured, he can't go, and no one could go
with the same injury. But he's had other injuries where
it's like no chance, know how, just no chance know how? Huh?
Really he there's a difference between being injured and hurt.
Everybody is banged up and laboring and dealing with something
(07:08):
at this point in the season, but it's like is
it so bad that you just can't do it? Or
is it bad and you're just kind of like airing
on the side of caution And I'm just not down
with that, man, I'm not down with that. You look
at Anthony Edwards. His knee bent backwards, hyper extended it.
(07:30):
He hardly missed any time at all. We didn't know
if he'd be available for the second round of the playoffs.
He played the first two games and I missed hardly
any time. He missed two games in the Denver series,
and they're still able to win that series. And now
he's back way ahead of schedule. And I take my
(07:50):
hat off to the guys that play through pain. They
play through more than just aches and pains. They are
significantly affected and they're still out there giving you but
they have I love that we did mention the Rick
Flair tweet him calling out Luca and saying, take a
cortizole shot. Get out there with your hamstring injury. If
(08:11):
you can't get out there making fifty million dollars, then
Genie bust trade this bum. We don't want them around.
Like in paraphrasing, that's basically it. It's like, not all
injuries are the same, Okay, a hamstring for Luca, his game,
his size, right, Like if it's diagnosed as an eight
month injury and he's five weeks in, and I'll do
(08:34):
the math on that one. And also I think you
gotta think long term as well, what are the realistic
chances of Luca coming back compromised and then the Lakers
beating the thunder Slim the none Okay, so I think
we got to be smart at the same time here.
Not everybody is in the same I don't know category
(08:57):
if you will, I don't know, embiid or sorry. Jason Tatum.
Jason Tatum had what the Celtics described as a knee injury.
I don't know how bad the knee injury was, if
that's what it was, because he was dealing with calf
soreness and tightness in Game six and he was unavailable
for Game seven. I don't know if it was just
(09:19):
the knee and it was that bad where he just
couldn't give it a go. I really don't know. I
just can't buy that Kd's injury was bad enough. He
played a game, He played a game and looked good
in the first half, and then all of a sudden
he was injured again. It's like that doesn't add up.
As much as I love KD, I just can't buy that.
(09:40):
There's no chance, no how he could get out there.
I just don't buy it. I don't think it was like,
oh dude, even if I you know, my life depended
on it, I couldn't get out there. It's like, I
don't think that's what it was. By the way, the
Spurs destroyed the Timberwolves, even with Anthony Edwards being out there,
Spurs won one thirty three to ninety five. That's right,
(10:02):
a thirty eight point win, so most points the Spurs
have scored in a playoff game since nineteen eighty three.
They led by as much as forty seven points. That's
that's pretty crazy. Man. The Timberwolves great Game one performance.
They won the game, that's what they They earned the
split on the road, and it looked like they played
(10:26):
on Wednesday night like they were content with that. They
were not focused. They got dump trucks. Man, they got
curb stumped, is what the It was ugly, man, it
was so ugly and it does. It was so bad.
It makes you wonder, Wow, did the Spurs just completely
(10:48):
wake up and now it's all systems go? They were
that dominant. So I'm really curious how the Timberwolves rebound
in Game three.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Going home.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Gonna be a lot of energy in the building, no doubt.
One thing that's interesting too for the degenerate betters. Not
a personal betting story, I know, shocking from yours truly,
but I did notice something that was pretty remarkable. So
I'll keep track of all the prop bets in terms
of points, rebounds, assists, you know, pr A, and then
(11:20):
three pointers. So I'll write them down for each game,
each team, and I keep track of them like game
by game of the playoffs. And I wrote down the
prop bets right before the Knicks game. Wrote them down
for the Knicks, the Sixers, and then also the Timberwolve
(11:41):
Spurs game. Now this is you know, six fifty ish
Eastern time in the Knicks game got underway about seven
to ten, right, so about twenty minutes before game time. Now,
all the bets were on bet MGM for the Timberwolves
at that time. Now, I did not go back and
(12:01):
check just before, like twenty minutes before the t Wolves
Spurs tip off, so that matters. Sometimes they add more bets.
Sometimes the numbers fluctuate a little bit. But as of
we'll call it seven pm Eastern time, like about two
and a half hours before the Timberwolves game. Right the
(12:22):
Timberwolves prop bets, I wrote them all down. There were
seventeen of them. Okay, so let's say they have points
props for all the starters except Terrence Shannon Junior. They
had Julius Randall, they had Jade McDaniels, Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley,
and they also had Anthony Edwards coming off the bench.
They had their points, They had most of those players rebounds,
(12:46):
most of those players assists, most of those players three pointers. Okay,
there were of those players seventeen total props and.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
The over.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
If you're betting the over with those props, whether it's
Julius randall's points or Jaden McDaniel's rebounds, or Mike Conley's
assists or whatever, right of those seventeen prop bets with
those players that were available on BETMGM, the over was
one and sixteen. If you just played blind unders on
(13:25):
the Minnesota Timberwolves props, you crushed it. On Wednesday night,
Randall under points, McDaniels under points, Rudy under Conley under,
Anthony Edwards under points. They're all under points. All these
got all under rebounds, assists, everybody under assists except Jaden McDaniels.
(13:46):
That was the one over, the one over, Julius Randall
under three's, Jade McDaniels under threes, Conley under threes, Anthony
Edwards under three under across the board except for Jade McDaniels.
That's pretty wild, man. And even in a winning effort, well,
that's not a great indication because it was a blowout
(14:07):
and the starters didn't play much of the fourth quarter,
so that's not a great indication. There were plenty of
unders with the Spurs as well. Oh man, the blowouts
they'll get you. The blowouts will get you. Ugh, I
ha oh oh. Can I tell you one brief gambling story.
This has never happened to me before, It might never
(14:27):
happen again. I couldn't believe it happened. So I had
in game one. So not Wednesday night, the first game
of the Knicks sixers series. Okay, I had Karl Anthony
Towns to go over his assists, to go over three
and a half assists, which he did. He got to
(14:48):
five and he easily cleared it. But I played, I
got a little greedy and went in game and I'm like,
I put a little bit on him to get to
six assists. I put a little bit on him to
get to seven assists. And these are bigger payouts. It's
like two to one and maybe like four to one. Okay,
So Karl Anthony Towns is at five assists, and so shockingly,
(15:10):
he's in foul trouble, right, he's not on the floor,
and so the Knicks are crushing the sixers. There are
about two minutes left in the third quarter, and if
Karl Anthony Towns is not getting in the game now,
he's not gonna get back in the game. Like the
Knicks are winning by that much, He's just not gonna
(15:30):
play in the fourth quarter. And so there's a free throw.
The Knicks are shooting a free throw, and I saw
someone who looked exactly like Cat walking on the floor,
and I'm like, did they just put Kat back in
the game? He's at five assists, So if he gets
one more assist, I went up like two to one.
If he gets two more assists, I win like a
four to one bet. So I'm like, I think Cat's
(15:53):
in the game. We might at least luck out and
get one more and cash one of the bets they
put him in the game. I don't know who was
shooting a free throw and from the Knicks, and the
guy misses the free throw. Kat is battling for the
rebound with a dem bonum what I call bona head
(16:15):
bona right, because Bona wrestles Cat to the floor, and
then Mike Brown is like, let's let's get Kat out
of the game. There's really no reason. He went in
for exactly no time. I get got my hope, so
it's like a tease that there's no payoff. I'm like,
(16:36):
Cat's back in the game, all right, I might get
up one more assistant win. He boxed out on a
missed free throw, ended up on the floor, and then
Mike Brown took him out of the game. It's crazy,
you know, what to be I don't know if it
was a missed free throw. I don't know. It probably was,
(16:58):
but Karl Anthony Towns didn't get fouled because he would
have been shooting free throws. It was the weirdest scenario
where my guy was getting back in the game and
then he was immediately taken out of the game and
didn't actually get one second of playing time. It was remarkable.
I don't know if that's ever going to happen in
my life again. And then he didn't come back into
(17:19):
the game in the fourth quarter and we didn't get
to the in game alternate crazy bets. So it happens
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number.
I'm sorry if I'm sharing too many of these gambling
stories with you, but it's remarkable. I don't know. Maybe
hopefully you find that to be somewhat intriguing, because if
I can say with a straight face, this has never
(17:40):
happened to me before, I doubt it will ever happen again.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think that's something to share. Hey, For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, shipped fast and
free back by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation
options like mobile tire in tirerack dot com. The way
tire buying should be. Okay, we continue the hodgepodge. There
(18:07):
are a number of things that caught my attention that
I thought were interesting, one being a promotion that's a
pretty cool promotion. And this isn't just a pump up
something that is Fox related. But I caught something today
and I had to share it with everybody listening, and
also with Lorena and Coop because this might be a
(18:30):
good promotion for them as well. I don't know if
we're eligible, but I'll share it with all you guys.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian though in for
Big Ben Malor. Okay, So I heard about this promotion
that does don't even sound real, but it's really really
cool and it's it is a real thing. So Fox
won they are hiring what's known as a Chief World
(20:10):
Cup Watcher. So what you would do is, for six
weeks you would go to New York City and you
would watch every World Cup game. It's one hundred and
four games. They'll pay you fifty thousand dollars. So you're
gonna be in a custom glass office in Times Square, Lorena,
(20:34):
and like all these passers by, they're gonna be like, hey,
well look at this guy. And you know, it's this
whole thing social media, the whole nine yards, right, and
they're gonna give you relocation assistance. They're gonna put you
up in a spot you go there. Imagine if you're
this huge soccer fan. I'm not a big soccer fan,
but I do love the World Cup. And if you're
(20:55):
gonna pay me fifty thousand dollars to just sit in
this I don't know this class office thing and just
watch World Cup games. Imagine if I could bet on
all these worlds, that'd be my question, like, can I
live bet these things? Can I get a real experience
if I can do that? But it's funny I thought
of both both you, Lorena and Coop. Here it says
(21:18):
the ideal candidate this is literally it's on Indeed like
you can go on Indeed dot com, slash Fox, it's
a real thing. It says the ideal candidate is someone
who will have the following skills and experience. You are
comfortable being stared at extensively. I think that's advantage of
(21:40):
Loraina right there. Right, You've had plenty of people staring
at you right throughout the years. Yeah, there you go.
Just expect it now. Yeah, check mark to you as
far as this job opening, if you will.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Like I said, that's already sold. You just told me
the price. When I get paid, I'm sold.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Fifty g's watch soccer games, you know. It also says
you love watching sports and can sit on your couch
for long stretches of time and ask, hopefully is there
another game on after this? Now that's that's advantage me.
I can do that. I don't know as much with soccer,
but certainly football foot you give me one hundred and
four football games to watch, I'm there, but.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I'm also team couch Potato, So I'm there.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You go, you give me some snacks. I can make
this work. You absolutely could. Now I think this is
where Coop he could excel here, he says, you know
how to fill the fill the feed with fun social content.
That's a weird description. You can spell TikTok and can
confidently speak to a camera without immediately rewatching it and
(22:46):
regretting everything, Coop, that's your acting skills. Boom right there. No, Nope,
you don't think so.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I mean, it's it's different.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
So I am not because these days I feel like
what that means is like I'm not the talk to
my phone, talk to just the people out there.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
So it's not like, hey, what's up, TikTok Nation never
doing that.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I've updated.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I was, I was you know Jax and uh, you know,
liar liar and going to the beach. You want to
see you want to see me, sir? You know not
into that?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Huh Nope. I've never had a TikTok. I've never downloaded
TikTok Okay, how about this? I feel like this could
be up your ally coup the other description here. You
won't freeze up if an a list celeb or sports
legend drops by the Cube to watch a match with
you c your improv and lively banter.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah that could be you, right for sure?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
There you go. So it says last thing I'll read.
Housing and incidentals will be covered in addition to the
fifty thousand dollars salary. Not based in New York, not
a problem. We've got you covered and know you do
not have to sleep in the Cube. So they're gonna
hook you up with housing and sounds pretty awesome, right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, that does sound pretty cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So it's Fox one, So that's the new Fox direct
to consumer product. So the World Cup's gonna be on
Fox and then Fox one. So that's why the Fox
won promotion. That's what it is. Fifty g's watch soccer
games and have a people looking at you while you're
in the glass tube to put a couch in there
(24:38):
like a like a I don't know, like a lazy
boy and like a comfortable chair or something. You just
watch watch games, hang out, probably act stupid too, just
do crazy stuff. You know, I would have a I'd
have a lot of fun with that that. That'd be
a good time. All right, let me get out to
the phones here. The militia wants to check in. It's
(24:58):
been a very popular conversation tonight. Let's go to John
in Boston, who maybe getting ready for the Ben mallor
meet and greet. What's the talk top women? I want
to hear this John, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Buddy?
Speaker 6 (25:09):
All right? Brian loved the show and love the gambling
stories because I'm sixty three, I got a lot of
them myself. I no longer use the app. I do
just futures because to me, that's like investing in the
stock market. But I give you a lot of credit
for being as active as you are. First of all,
for that Fox one promotion. Yeah, this should be a
Seinfeld show, right, I mean, Kramer would be the perfect candidate,
(25:30):
go down box for like six weeks and watching soccer games.
But as far as the ladies look, I'm gonna give
you an old reference. I'm sure a lot of the
listeners will get it because I think us old dudes
listen overnight and Rock Parker would definitely get this. Gilligan's Island.
There was mary Anne and Ginger. Yeah, mary Anne was
Anne Hathaway essentially. Actually I think she was fat of
(25:52):
me at the way. Ginger was kind of like the fluozy,
real sexy type. Here's three that I'm going to take over.
Anne Hathaway right now, buck.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Duh, My girl, my girl.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I love the very tall woman, very tall.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Well, she's a very very attractive woman. I saw her
in concert last year. Fabulous, really fabulous, I believe. Yeah,
if you get a chance to go out and see
or whatever the price you think it is, she is
your voice or presence, everything is awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Sydney Sweeney Okay, the coop agrees with that. He loves
Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
All right.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
And he's my my all time favorite.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Scarlett Johansson Okay, that's a very legitimate list right there. Yeah,
atter all hotter than Anne Hathaway, who is beautiful by
the way, beautiful, but yeah, I mean absolutely yeah, no,
very well done, love it, Thank you, John, good stuff.
They see people making sense out here now finally, right,
(26:49):
like we can appreciate Anne Hathaway in her beauty but
most beautiful woman of twenty twenty six No, that's just
that's a that's an incorrect pick, right there. I don't,
I don't. I don't know what else to say about that.
I love that he picked dual Lipa. I love dual Lipa.
I always think of Loraina every time she's like, you know,
she's a very tall woman. It's like, wow, really, how
(27:12):
tall is she? Like six six and heels or what
are we talking about here? What is she five to
nine or five eight or something?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Is that very tall?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's hilarious. That's the best. Steve is in Manhattan. Let's
talk some Nicks New York next two to oh series
lead against the Sixers. What's going on Steve?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
All right? Brian? And what's what's been doing? A dry
runs of Beantown or something? He cut out to a
little early, and you know something, there are millions of spaces,
there are millions of beautiful women, but there's only one
Steve from Manhattan. I'm only joking around, but yeah, I've
always felt sorry for the beautiful woman because but the
(27:54):
thing is basketball. The necks are up to love and
I don't know about this guy on the seventy six.
It sounds a kind of fishy to me. He just
decides to take the game off, the night off and everything.
And and Joel is you know, he doesn't eveeel like
he could get up to court when he's when he's
(28:15):
playing anyway to begin with, right, looks like he's kind
of chronically injured. And yeah, it's just the Philly you know,
the Philly fans are a bunch of cycles anyway, And
they're complaining about the Nick fans buying tickets. Well, let's
face it, if if there were like ten Nick fans
for every Philly fan, you're going to have people buying
(28:36):
those tickets and going down to Philly for the game
Friday night. That's the way. That's the way I look
at it. And we're getting off to more stuff more important.
Now you're having that big shin bing up and up
in being town Friday and Saturday. Now we've got to
hope for the luck of the Irish. We got to
hope it doesn't rain or anything like that. I mean,
because Michael Lepericon has been running around like chicking without
(28:59):
his head on try, you know, trying to get everything
straightened out and everything done. And uh, you know, we
got to salute that guy. I just hope Ben and
and the Leprechaun co host the event, both events, because
that'll be off the charts, that'll be a million hits
on on YouTube overnight, and those two guys do it.
And you know, if I have a good idea since
(29:23):
since a lot of people are going in not familiar
with the area and everything, I think everybody if they
go to the Red Sox game Friday night, all of
you know, Ben Mall, the militia, the buchanibricame, everyone should
wear it, Bucky Den jersey when they're in Fenway Park.
This way in case somebody gets lost, you could easily
locate them and find them, you know, inside or outside.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
They're part of the militia, grew right there. Yeah, sure,
you know, And I.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Don't think anybody would be bothered by that or anything.
And I personally would wear a Babe Ruth jersey, I know.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I know, Yeah, that's you know, and they won't get
accosted nothing like that, right, Nah, No way, completely safe.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
When Bay, when Bay played for Boston, they didn't even
have numbers, but I would still put the.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Number three on it for me, just to make sure, yeah, just.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
To make sure everybody knows exactly where I'm coming from
because those told off Philly fans, the boys, the Red
Sox fans could be crazy too. Remember that guy, was
it a couple of years ago? He hit the guy
in the face with the pizza.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh, I do remember that because that was on was
that Patriots Day? I think that might have been that day.
But yeah, he threw a huge slice of pizza and
hit the dude in the shoulder and kind of like
the neck or whatever. That was wild. That's crazy.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Now, I'm a former Brian On right, he slide wrapped them.
But still, the thing is everyone knows I'm a former
historian and everything. Now, in nineteen eighty six, when the
Mets went up to Beantown right to Game three, Ron Darlings,
I think it was his first wife or his first
ex wife, she got robbed. They pickpocketed her like six
(31:00):
underd bucks. Now nineteen eighty six, wow, I mean that's
a pre dawn good score. You know, people back up,
He'll realize people carry cash with them back then. They
carry credit cards too. And so that's why I'm telling
people be a little careful when you're around the ballpark
and you never know who you's going to run, right,
round to. But I know the Leprechaun is in charge
of everything and the guy's doing a yeoman's job, and
(31:22):
I really, I really we should tip our hats to
the guy and really give him a round of applause
for doing what he's done. Because they dropped the football
a couple of times with the where the location was
going to be, and then they set it up and
then it wasn't the location. I mean it sounds like
something like like the Met organization or the Jet organization
(31:43):
would be running their nonsense like that.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You know, Well, I'll tell you what, Steve. I appreciate
you checking in and I'll make the smooth segue. You're
giving your flowers the bouquets to Michael Leprecaun and he's
with us right now. Right, let's go to Mike the Leprecaun.
You're getting the festivity all squared away for the Mallard
meet and greet in Boston. What's going on my cover things?
Speaker 4 (32:06):

bit more, but it's okay, I don't care. Wow, Yes,
they're all sacked for No, they're all sick for Boston.
So for any p one listing in Worcester. We're going
to show up at three thirty. I have tickets to
pass out and if it rains, if it's a rain,
(32:26):

and we have planned the down the street on Canal
Street and then there's a big party. So it's all sad.
But I do have a I bet on. By the way,

Speaker 3 (35:41):
We got him in though. Congratulations.

(36:04):
good stuff. So we'll close it down in great fashion
right around the corner. I'm Brian though in for Big

Speaker 1 (36:25):
It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian no in for
Big Ben Malor. By the way, Uh, Coop, I uh,
I saw something that maybe you'd be interested in it.
I don't know. Every now and then, our musical tastes
clash every now and then they sync up. And I
(36:45):
saw that The Stones Rolling Stones releasing a new album
pretty soon here, and I bring that up because your girl,
Sidney Sweeney and one of your girls in the top five. Unfortunately,
we learned that Ann Hathaway is in that top five,
or so you say, you know, I don't know. It's
a working list. I'm not sure. But Sydney Sweeney was
(37:07):
featured in one of Rolling Stones videos, like a recent
song Angry. So I don't know if you're in the
market for a Stone's new album coming out, and it's
due out in a couple of months, and I think
it's called Foreign Tongues. I think that's the new Rolling
Stones album. So what do you think? Interested in that
(37:29):
at all?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Eh?
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Nothing? Huh?
Speaker 7 (37:35):
I mean, look, I like the Stones, I guess, but
I don't know if I want to listen to the
album from the ninety year old Stones.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I mean, all right, yeah, I mean I thought Angry
was a good song, but yeah, I don't know what
the whole album will be like, but it comes out
July tenth. If you're interested Stones new album, Foreign Tongues
saw that and thought of you thought, uh, you know,
maybe be something that piques the interest. Now, there was
a tweet here, I like this nine oh four ray
(38:09):
hit me up on X and just put gambling story
is cool, But what was the off air story with Coop?
We never paid that off. Cooper's like, hey, everything off
the ear doesn't have to make it. Let me do
my coop and press. You want to do your Coop
I pression, Lorena, you want to try.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
To hear it.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
It was so good, right, there was it?
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know, everything off the air doesn't need to make
it on the air. No, we were talking about Anne
Hathaway and uh, you know, Coop was still trying to
sell me on anne Hathaway and I'm like nah, and
he was like, well she looked good naked in that
one movie. I was like, hold on, wait, what what
(38:54):
was going on here with what Love and other drugs?
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Good movie.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
So I had to google. This is journalistic research here,
you know, I have to know what Coop is talking about.
And maybe there's a stone that I was left unturned
and we can't have that. So I looked and I'm like,
what in the hell is this? What is this like?
(39:20):
If I'm like, you're hotter with the robe on, and
that's bad, that's a bad sentence to say. But it's true.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
It's just true. It's a horrible take.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
It's not a horrible take. Listen, beautiful face, beautiful face,
very talented, outstanding. But I'm just telling you what I
see in still shots. That's all I'm telling you. I'm sorry.
I had no idea. That's why I love about sports
radio so much. I had zero I didn't even know
she was named People Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman of twenty
(39:57):
twenty six. Coop told me that I had I had
no idea that was even a thing, and we've weave
that into like the last three hours or so. I
had no idea that's what it would turn into. I'm
probably very responsible for that, but let the record show
I should have put my list together. I do love
John from Boston put his list of what he considers
(40:20):
hotter women than Anne Hathaway Dua lipa. I love that
he went with dua my girl, what Sidney swinteye, Scarlet Johansson. Yeah.
As much as I respect Anne and her talent and
she's hot right now, you know she's doing big things,
movie out, very successful, we could have gone in a
different direction. I feel like I feel like, let me
(40:41):
put this last thing. I'll say it gives me Lebron
like vibes from this standpoint, Okay, Lebron is an amazing
basketball player. But as soon as someone is like he's
the goat, it's like it's like it's hit the brakes
hard on that. That's why I feel like Anne. Anne
(41:02):
is amazing, She's just awesome. But as soon as almost like, yeah,
most beautiful of twenty twenty six. It's like, hey, safe
travels Coop and Lorena have fun in Beatontown.
Oh, what's going on? I hope you're doing fantastic. Happy
early Thursday morning to you. Hope all is very well. Yeh,
I'm gonna go a little hodgepodge on you here, little
NBA playoffs, a little NFL. Let me start with ball,
you know me, love me some ball. Aaron Rodgers is
(00:25):
in the news, not for the reasons you might think,
but he's being recruited openly by a member of the
Arizona Cardinals. You've seen this story, so Kendrick Bourne. You
know when you close your eyes and think of an
Arizona Cardinal who might be recruiting Aaron Rodgers. Is it
(00:45):
I don't know. Is it Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Junior.
I don't know. No, it is wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
He's fired up X and tweeted at Aaron Rodgers, Just
Aaron Rodgers, come on, we're waiting on you. It's like, wow, Okay.
(01:06):
Then you know, it seems like he's openly recruiting Aaron.
It'd be funny if he was like, Aaron, are you
gonna be a Steeler or what. It's totally not related
to the Arizona Cardinals, but that's how it's being taken,
And so the question is would that be a good
move for Aaron Rodgers. This would make no sense for
Aaron Rodgers or the Arizona Cardinals, like it would make
(01:30):
sense for neither. It would make less sense for the
Arizona Cardinals. And this is a weird sort of like
hidden compliment. If you will, Aaron Rodgers would help the
Arizona Cardinals win some games? Why would they want that?
This is a what projects to most likely be although
(01:52):
it's not set in stone, it looks to be a
very rich quarterback class. Now I know the Arizona Car's
just spent a used a third round pick to get
a quarterback in Carson Beck, formerly of the of Georgia,
formerly of the Miami Hurricanes. Right, they drafted Carson Beck
(02:14):
with the first pick of the third round. I did
have a bet on him going in the second round,
and just to troll me, the Cardinals picked him with
the first selection of the third round. Thank you, I'll
never forget. But uh yeah, so they spent a third
round pick, high third round pick on Carson Beck. That
doesn't mean Carson Beck it's gonna be worth anything in
(02:35):
the NFL. And if the Arizona Cardinals are sitting there
high in the draft. To look at history, they used
a top ten pick to go with cleated Jesus Josh Rosen,
and the very next year they used the number one
overall pick on Kyler Murray. They've done this before. You
(02:56):
don't think they're gonna pick a quarterback if there's one
sitting right there and striking distance, great prospect could be
the savior there. Franchise. They're gonna be like, oh, we've
spent a third round pick on Carson Beck. That's not
gonna slow him down at all. So you bring Aaron
Rodgers in there, he's gonna win you a couple more games,
and you're gonna be a couple spaces lower in the
(03:17):
pecking order of the draft. Why would you do that?
That just doesn't make sense. And for Aaron Rodgers, are
you having more success with the Arizona Cardinals than you
most likely would have with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't
think the Cardinals with Rogers are gonna have a better
record than the Steelers with Rogers. So it's like, why,
(03:39):
I don't understand why he would go. It doesn't make
sense for anybody involved it's just a you know whatever.
It's a tweet that gets your mind work in a
little bit and then you're like, yeah, that's dumb. No
one really benefits. So time to turn the page. Okay,
we get to the NBA playoffs. So we had the Knicks,
the Knicks one on Wednesday night. They beat the Sixers
(04:01):
one o eight to one oh two. No, Joel Embiid
was announced just before the game, you know, a few
hours before the game, well actually earlier in the day really,
that Embiid was out as ankle and hip injuries. And
this is the stat that that blows me away the
most that we've mentioned on the show tonight. We've thrown
(04:22):
numbers and stats and this and that out there. Joel
Embiid hasn't played six games in a row since twenty
twenty three. That is unbelievable to me. We're not talking
forty straight games or you know, two months in a row,
or you know what I mean, Like, we're talking six games.
(04:45):
Hasn't played six games in a row since twenty three.
That's unbelievable to me. Man. That's injuries galore. That's lewd management,
you know, trying to lessen the workload. Of m and
now he's hurt again at the most critical time. It's
crazy and I think you do, as I mentioned at
(05:07):
the top of the show, you have to take your
hat off to Lebron James hasn't missed one playoff game
in his entire career. That is astounding to not miss one,
I mean anything, any type of scenario. It's like, uh,
remember how the Jets didn't have one interception all last season.
They're defense that have one interception, not one all seventeen games.
(05:32):
A corner jumps aroute, a defensive lineman deflex the ball,
something goofy happens, a receiver has butterfingers and it bounces off.
Just pure luck. That not one with Lebron, not one
game missed, not one time they had a three to
one series lead. And it's he's a little iffy, and
(05:53):
you know what, let's just let's let's let him take
the night off. Nothing not once. That's remark.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Now listen, I will say I think it's I think
it's irresponsible to hold everyone to the same level as Lebron.
But I'm not doing that. I'm not asking Joel Embiide
to not miss a playoff game in his entire career.
I'm not I am asking Joel and Biid to maybe
(06:23):
stay healthy for at least six games in a row.
That's I don't think that's too much to ask. I
don't think I'm being too demanding over here, right, So
I'm not holding him bid to the same Lebron level.
But some of these injuries, man, I don't know. Embiad
has had injuries in his career where it's like he's
(06:44):
clearly injured, he can't go, and no one could go
with the same injury. But he's had other injuries where
it's like no chance, know how, just no chance know how? Huh?
Really he there's a difference between being injured and hurt.
Everybody is banged up and laboring and dealing with something
(07:08):
at this point in the season, but it's like is
it so bad that you just can't do it? Or
is it bad and you're just kind of like airing
on the side of caution And I'm just not down
with that, man, I'm not down with that. You look
at Anthony Edwards. His knee bent backwards, hyper extended it.
(07:30):
He hardly missed any time at all. We didn't know
if he'd be available for the second round of the playoffs.
He played the first two games and I missed hardly
any time. He missed two games in the Denver series,
and they're still able to win that series. And now
he's back way ahead of schedule. And I take my
(07:50):
hat off to the guys that play through pain. They
play through more than just aches and pains. They are
significantly affected and they're still out there giving you but
they have I love that we did mention the Rick
Flair tweet him calling out Luca and saying, take a
cortizole shot. Get out there with your hamstring injury. If
(08:11):
you can't get out there making fifty million dollars, then
Genie bust trade this bum. We don't want them around.
Like in paraphrasing, that's basically it. It's like, not all
injuries are the same, Okay, a hamstring for Luca, his game,
his size, right, Like if it's diagnosed as an eight
month injury and he's five weeks in, and I'll do
(08:34):
the math on that one. And also I think you
gotta think long term as well, what are the realistic
chances of Luca coming back compromised and then the Lakers
beating the thunder Slim the none Okay, so I think
we got to be smart at the same time here.
Not everybody is in the same I don't know category
(08:57):
if you will, I don't know, embiid or sorry. Jason Tatum.
Jason Tatum had what the Celtics described as a knee injury.
I don't know how bad the knee injury was, if
that's what it was, because he was dealing with calf
soreness and tightness in Game six and he was unavailable
for Game seven. I don't know if it was just
(09:19):
the knee and it was that bad where he just
couldn't give it a go. I really don't know. I
just can't buy that Kd's injury was bad enough. He
played a game, He played a game and looked good
in the first half, and then all of a sudden
he was injured again. It's like that doesn't add up.
As much as I love KD, I just can't buy that.
(09:40):
There's no chance, no how he could get out there.
I just don't buy it. I don't think it was like,
oh dude, even if I you know, my life depended
on it, I couldn't get out there. It's like, I
don't think that's what it was. By the way, the
Spurs destroyed the Timberwolves, even with Anthony Edwards being out there,
Spurs won one thirty three to ninety five. That's right,
(10:02):
a thirty eight point win, so most points the Spurs
have scored in a playoff game since nineteen eighty three.
They led by as much as forty seven points. That's
that's pretty crazy. Man. The Timberwolves great Game one performance.
They won the game, that's what they They earned the
split on the road, and it looked like they played
(10:26):
on Wednesday night like they were content with that. They
were not focused. They got dump trucks. Man, they got
curb stumped, is what the It was ugly, man, it
was so ugly and it does. It was so bad.
It makes you wonder, Wow, did the Spurs just completely
(10:48):
wake up and now it's all systems go? They were
that dominant. So I'm really curious how the Timberwolves rebound
in Game three.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Going home.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Gonna be a lot of energy in the building, no doubt.
One thing that's interesting too for the degenerate betters. Not
a personal betting story, I know, shocking from yours truly,
but I did notice something that was pretty remarkable. So
I'll keep track of all the prop bets in terms
of points, rebounds, assists, you know, pr A, and then
(11:20):
three pointers. So I'll write them down for each game,
each team, and I keep track of them like game
by game of the playoffs. And I wrote down the
prop bets right before the Knicks game. Wrote them down
for the Knicks, the Sixers, and then also the Timberwolve
(11:41):
Spurs game. Now this is you know, six fifty ish
Eastern time in the Knicks game got underway about seven
to ten, right, so about twenty minutes before game time. Now,
all the bets were on bet MGM for the Timberwolves
at that time. Now, I did not go back and
(12:01):
check just before, like twenty minutes before the t Wolves
Spurs tip off, so that matters. Sometimes they add more bets.
Sometimes the numbers fluctuate a little bit. But as of
we'll call it seven pm Eastern time, like about two
and a half hours before the Timberwolves game. Right the
(12:22):
Timberwolves prop bets, I wrote them all down. There were
seventeen of them. Okay, so let's say they have points
props for all the starters except Terrence Shannon Junior. They
had Julius Randall, they had Jade McDaniels, Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley,
and they also had Anthony Edwards coming off the bench.
They had their points, They had most of those players rebounds,
(12:46):
most of those players assists, most of those players three pointers. Okay,
there were of those players seventeen total props and.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
The over.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
If you're betting the over with those props, whether it's
Julius randall's points or Jaden McDaniel's rebounds, or Mike Conley's
assists or whatever, right of those seventeen prop bets with
those players that were available on BETMGM, the over was
one and sixteen. If you just played blind unders on
(13:25):
the Minnesota Timberwolves props, you crushed it. On Wednesday night,
Randall under points, McDaniels under points, Rudy under Conley under,
Anthony Edwards under points. They're all under points. All these
got all under rebounds, assists, everybody under assists except Jaden McDaniels.
(13:46):
That was the one over, the one over, Julius Randall
under three's, Jade McDaniels under threes, Conley under threes, Anthony
Edwards under three under across the board except for Jade McDaniels.
That's pretty wild, man. And even in a winning effort, well,
that's not a great indication because it was a blowout
(14:07):
and the starters didn't play much of the fourth quarter,
so that's not a great indication. There were plenty of
unders with the Spurs as well. Oh man, the blowouts
they'll get you. The blowouts will get you. Ugh, I
ha oh oh. Can I tell you one brief gambling story.
This has never happened to me before, It might never
(14:27):
happen again. I couldn't believe it happened. So I had
in game one. So not Wednesday night, the first game
of the Knicks sixers series. Okay, I had Karl Anthony
Towns to go over his assists, to go over three
and a half assists, which he did. He got to
(14:48):
five and he easily cleared it. But I played, I
got a little greedy and went in game and I'm like,
I put a little bit on him to get to
six assists. I put a little bit on him to
get to seven assists. And these are bigger payouts. It's
like two to one and maybe like four to one. Okay,
So Karl Anthony Towns is at five assists, and so shockingly,
(15:10):
he's in foul trouble, right, he's not on the floor,
and so the Knicks are crushing the sixers. There are
about two minutes left in the third quarter, and if
Karl Anthony Towns is not getting in the game now,
he's not gonna get back in the game. Like the
Knicks are winning by that much, He's just not gonna
(15:30):
play in the fourth quarter. And so there's a free throw.
The Knicks are shooting a free throw, and I saw
someone who looked exactly like Cat walking on the floor,
and I'm like, did they just put Kat back in
the game? He's at five assists, So if he gets
one more assist, I went up like two to one.
If he gets two more assists, I win like a
four to one bet. So I'm like, I think Cat's
(15:53):
in the game. We might at least luck out and
get one more and cash one of the bets they
put him in the game. I don't know who was
shooting a free throw and from the Knicks, and the
guy misses the free throw. Kat is battling for the
rebound with a dem bonum what I call bona head
(16:15):
bona right, because Bona wrestles Cat to the floor, and
then Mike Brown is like, let's let's get Kat out
of the game. There's really no reason. He went in
for exactly no time. I get got my hope, so
it's like a tease that there's no payoff. I'm like,
(16:36):
Cat's back in the game, all right, I might get
up one more assistant win. He boxed out on a
missed free throw, ended up on the floor, and then
Mike Brown took him out of the game. It's crazy,
you know, what to be I don't know if it
was a missed free throw. I don't know. It probably was,
(16:58):
but Karl Anthony Towns didn't get fouled because he would
have been shooting free throws. It was the weirdest scenario
where my guy was getting back in the game and
then he was immediately taken out of the game and
didn't actually get one second of playing time. It was remarkable.
I don't know if that's ever going to happen in
my life again. And then he didn't come back into
(17:19):
the game in the fourth quarter and we didn't get
to the in game alternate crazy bets. So it happens
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number.
I'm sorry if I'm sharing too many of these gambling
stories with you, but it's remarkable. I don't know. Maybe
hopefully you find that to be somewhat intriguing, because if
I can say with a straight face, this has never
(17:40):
happened to me before, I doubt it will ever happen again.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think that's something to share. Hey, For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, shipped fast and
free back by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation
options like mobile tire in tirerack dot com. The way
tire buying should be. Okay, we continue the hodgepodge. There
(18:07):
are a number of things that caught my attention that
I thought were interesting, one being a promotion that's a
pretty cool promotion. And this isn't just a pump up
something that is Fox related. But I caught something today
and I had to share it with everybody listening, and
also with Lorena and Coop because this might be a
(18:30):
good promotion for them as well. I don't know if
we're eligible, but I'll share it with all you guys.
Coming up. I'm probably knowing for Big Ben Malor. This
is Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian though in for
Big Ben Malor. Okay, So I heard about this promotion
that does don't even sound real, but it's really really
cool and it's it is a real thing. So Fox
won they are hiring what's known as a Chief World
(20:10):
Cup Watcher. So what you would do is, for six
weeks you would go to New York City and you
would watch every World Cup game. It's one hundred and
four games. They'll pay you fifty thousand dollars. So you're
gonna be in a custom glass office in Times Square, Lorena,
(20:34):
and like all these passers by, they're gonna be like, hey,
well look at this guy. And you know, it's this
whole thing social media, the whole nine yards, right, and
they're gonna give you relocation assistance. They're gonna put you
up in a spot you go there. Imagine if you're
this huge soccer fan. I'm not a big soccer fan,
but I do love the World Cup. And if you're
(20:55):
gonna pay me fifty thousand dollars to just sit in
this I don't know this class office thing and just
watch World Cup games. Imagine if I could bet on
all these worlds, that'd be my question, like, can I
live bet these things? Can I get a real experience
if I can do that? But it's funny I thought
of both both you, Lorena and Coop. Here it says
(21:18):
the ideal candidate this is literally it's on Indeed like
you can go on Indeed dot com, slash Fox, it's
a real thing. It says the ideal candidate is someone
who will have the following skills and experience. You are
comfortable being stared at extensively. I think that's advantage of
(21:40):
Loraina right there. Right, You've had plenty of people staring
at you right throughout the years. Yeah, there you go.
Just expect it now. Yeah, check mark to you as
far as this job opening, if you will.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Like I said, that's already sold. You just told me
the price. When I get paid, I'm sold.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Fifty g's watch soccer games, you know. It also says
you love watching sports and can sit on your couch
for long stretches of time and ask, hopefully is there
another game on after this? Now that's that's advantage me.
I can do that. I don't know as much with soccer,
but certainly football foot you give me one hundred and
four football games to watch, I'm there, but.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I'm also team couch Potato, So I'm there.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You go, you give me some snacks. I can make
this work. You absolutely could. Now I think this is
where Coop he could excel here, he says, you know
how to fill the fill the feed with fun social content.
That's a weird description. You can spell TikTok and can
confidently speak to a camera without immediately rewatching it and
(22:46):
regretting everything, Coop, that's your acting skills. Boom right there. No, Nope,
you don't think so.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I mean, it's it's different.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
So I am not because these days I feel like
what that means is like I'm not the talk to
my phone, talk to just the people out there.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
So it's not like, hey, what's up, TikTok Nation never
doing that.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I've updated.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I was, I was you know Jax and uh, you know,
liar liar and going to the beach. You want to
see you want to see me, sir? You know not
into that?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Huh Nope. I've never had a TikTok. I've never downloaded
TikTok Okay, how about this? I feel like this could
be up your ally coup the other description here. You
won't freeze up if an a list celeb or sports
legend drops by the Cube to watch a match with
you c your improv and lively banter.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah that could be you, right for sure?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
There you go. So it says last thing I'll read.
Housing and incidentals will be covered in addition to the
fifty thousand dollars salary. Not based in New York, not
a problem. We've got you covered and know you do
not have to sleep in the Cube. So they're gonna
hook you up with housing and sounds pretty awesome, right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, that does sound pretty cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So it's Fox one, So that's the new Fox direct
to consumer product. So the World Cup's gonna be on
Fox and then Fox one. So that's why the Fox
won promotion. That's what it is. Fifty g's watch soccer
games and have a people looking at you while you're
in the glass tube to put a couch in there
(24:38):
like a like a I don't know, like a lazy
boy and like a comfortable chair or something. You just
watch watch games, hang out, probably act stupid too, just
do crazy stuff. You know, I would have a I'd
have a lot of fun with that that. That'd be
a good time. All right, let me get out to
the phones here. The militia wants to check in. It's
(24:58):
been a very popular conversation tonight. Let's go to John
in Boston, who maybe getting ready for the Ben mallor
meet and greet. What's the talk top women? I want
to hear this John, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Buddy?
Speaker 6 (25:09):
All right? Brian loved the show and love the gambling
stories because I'm sixty three, I got a lot of
them myself. I no longer use the app. I do
just futures because to me, that's like investing in the
stock market. But I give you a lot of credit
for being as active as you are. First of all,
for that Fox one promotion. Yeah, this should be a
Seinfeld show, right, I mean, Kramer would be the perfect candidate,
(25:30):
go down box for like six weeks and watching soccer games.
But as far as the ladies look, I'm gonna give
you an old reference. I'm sure a lot of the
listeners will get it because I think us old dudes
listen overnight and Rock Parker would definitely get this. Gilligan's Island.
There was mary Anne and Ginger. Yeah, mary Anne was
Anne Hathaway essentially. Actually I think she was fat of
(25:52):
me at the way. Ginger was kind of like the fluozy,
real sexy type. Here's three that I'm going to take over.
Anne Hathaway right now, buck.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Duh, My girl, my girl.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I love the very tall woman, very tall.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Well, she's a very very attractive woman. I saw her
in concert last year. Fabulous, really fabulous, I believe. Yeah,
if you get a chance to go out and see
or whatever the price you think it is, she is
your voice or presence, everything is awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Sydney Sweeney Okay, the coop agrees with that. He loves
Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
All right.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
And he's my my all time favorite.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Scarlett Johansson Okay, that's a very legitimate list right there. Yeah,
atter all hotter than Anne Hathaway, who is beautiful by
the way, beautiful, but yeah, I mean absolutely yeah, no,
very well done, love it, Thank you, John, good stuff.
They see people making sense out here now finally, right,
(26:49):
like we can appreciate Anne Hathaway in her beauty but
most beautiful woman of twenty twenty six No, that's just
that's a that's an incorrect pick, right there. I don't,
I don't. I don't know what else to say about that.
I love that he picked dual Lipa. I love dual Lipa.
I always think of Loraina every time she's like, you know,
she's a very tall woman. It's like, wow, really, how
(27:12):
tall is she? Like six six and heels or what
are we talking about here? What is she five to
nine or five eight or something?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Is that very tall?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's hilarious. That's the best. Steve is in Manhattan. Let's
talk some Nicks New York next two to oh series
lead against the Sixers. What's going on Steve?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
All right? Brian? And what's what's been doing? A dry
runs of Beantown or something? He cut out to a
little early, and you know something, there are millions of spaces,
there are millions of beautiful women, but there's only one
Steve from Manhattan. I'm only joking around, but yeah, I've
always felt sorry for the beautiful woman because but the
(27:54):
thing is basketball. The necks are up to love and
I don't know about this guy on the seventy six.
It sounds a kind of fishy to me. He just
decides to take the game off, the night off and everything.
And and Joel is you know, he doesn't eveeel like
he could get up to court when he's when he's
(28:15):
playing anyway to begin with, right, looks like he's kind
of chronically injured. And yeah, it's just the Philly you know,
the Philly fans are a bunch of cycles anyway, And
they're complaining about the Nick fans buying tickets. Well, let's
face it, if if there were like ten Nick fans
for every Philly fan, you're going to have people buying
(28:36):
those tickets and going down to Philly for the game
Friday night. That's the way. That's the way I look
at it. And we're getting off to more stuff more important.
Now you're having that big shin bing up and up
in being town Friday and Saturday. Now we've got to
hope for the luck of the Irish. We got to
hope it doesn't rain or anything like that. I mean,
because Michael Lepericon has been running around like chicking without
(28:59):
his head on try, you know, trying to get everything
straightened out and everything done. And uh, you know, we
got to salute that guy. I just hope Ben and
and the Leprechaun co host the event, both events, because
that'll be off the charts, that'll be a million hits
on on YouTube overnight, and those two guys do it.
And you know, if I have a good idea since
(29:23):
since a lot of people are going in not familiar
with the area and everything, I think everybody if they
go to the Red Sox game Friday night, all of
you know, Ben Mall, the militia, the buchanibricame, everyone should
wear it, Bucky Den jersey when they're in Fenway Park.
This way in case somebody gets lost, you could easily
locate them and find them, you know, inside or outside.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
They're part of the militia, grew right there. Yeah, sure,
you know, And I.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Don't think anybody would be bothered by that or anything.
And I personally would wear a Babe Ruth jersey, I know.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I know, Yeah, that's you know, and they won't get
accosted nothing like that, right, Nah, No way, completely safe.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
When Bay, when Bay played for Boston, they didn't even
have numbers, but I would still put the.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Number three on it for me, just to make sure, yeah, just.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
To make sure everybody knows exactly where I'm coming from
because those told off Philly fans, the boys, the Red
Sox fans could be crazy too. Remember that guy, was
it a couple of years ago? He hit the guy
in the face with the pizza.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh, I do remember that because that was on was
that Patriots Day? I think that might have been that day.
But yeah, he threw a huge slice of pizza and
hit the dude in the shoulder and kind of like
the neck or whatever. That was wild. That's crazy.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Now, I'm a former Brian On right, he slide wrapped them.
But still, the thing is everyone knows I'm a former
historian and everything. Now, in nineteen eighty six, when the
Mets went up to Beantown right to Game three, Ron Darlings,
I think it was his first wife or his first
ex wife, she got robbed. They pickpocketed her like six
(31:00):
underd bucks. Now nineteen eighty six, wow, I mean that's
a pre dawn good score. You know, people back up,
He'll realize people carry cash with them back then. They
carry credit cards too. And so that's why I'm telling
people be a little careful when you're around the ballpark
and you never know who you's going to run, right,
round to. But I know the Leprechaun is in charge
of everything and the guy's doing a yeoman's job, and
(31:22):
I really, I really we should tip our hats to
the guy and really give him a round of applause
for doing what he's done. Because they dropped the football
a couple of times with the where the location was
going to be, and then they set it up and
then it wasn't the location. I mean it sounds like
something like like the Met organization or the Jet organization
(31:43):
would be running their nonsense like that.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You know, Well, I'll tell you what, Steve. I appreciate
you checking in and I'll make the smooth segue. You're
giving your flowers the bouquets to Michael Leprecaun and he's
with us right now. Right, let's go to Mike the Leprecaun.
You're getting the festivity all squared away for the Mallard
meet and greet in Boston. What's going on my cover things?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Well, but I know I like Chris Plank a little
bit more, but it's okay, I don't care. Wow, Yes,
they're all sacked for No, they're all sick for Boston.
So for any p one listing in Worcester. We're going
to show up at three thirty. I have tickets to
pass out and if it rains, if it's a rain,
(32:26):
I spoke to the manager yesterday or the managing events guy,
and we have planned the down the street on Canal
Street and then there's a big party. So it's all sad.
But I do have a I bet on. By the way,
I'm a betting guy too. I don't beg much. I
beg Mike, let me.

fortunate timing.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
We got him in though. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (35:43):

shoot horn as much good stuff as we can before
we have to hit the road, and Lorata literally hitting

(36:04):
good stuff. So we'll close it down in great fashion
right around the corner. I'm Brian though in for Big
Ben Malor. Sorry it's not Chris Blank. Keeple locked right
here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
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

Speaker 1 (36:25):
It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian no in for
Big Ben Malor. By the way, Uh, Coop, I uh,
I saw something that maybe you'd be interested in it.
I don't know. Every now and then, our musical tastes
clash every now and then they sync up. And I
(36:45):
saw that The Stones Rolling Stones releasing a new album
pretty soon here, and I bring that up because your girl,
Sidney Sweeney and one of your girls in the top five. Unfortunately,
we learned that Ann Hathaway is in that top five,
or so you say, you know, I don't know. It's
a working list. I'm not sure. But Sydney Sweeney was
(37:07):
featured in one of Rolling Stones videos, like a recent
song Angry. So I don't know if you're in the
market for a Stone's new album coming out, and it's
due out in a couple of months, and I think
it's called Foreign Tongues. I think that's the new Rolling
Stones album. So what do you think? Interested in that
(37:29):
at all?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Eh?
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Nothing? Huh?
Speaker 7 (37:35):
I mean, look, I like the Stones, I guess, but
I don't know if I want to listen to the
album from the ninety year old Stones.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I mean, all right, yeah, I mean I thought Angry
was a good song, but yeah, I don't know what
the whole album will be like, but it comes out
July tenth. If you're interested Stones new album, Foreign Tongues
saw that and thought of you thought, uh, you know,
maybe be something that piques the interest. Now, there was
a tweet here, I like this nine oh four ray
(38:09):
hit me up on X and just put gambling story
is cool, But what was the off air story with Coop?
We never paid that off. Cooper's like, hey, everything off
the ear doesn't have to make it. Let me do
my coop and press. You want to do your Coop
I pression, Lorena, you want to try.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
To hear it.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
It was so good, right, there was it?
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know, everything off the air doesn't need to make
it on the air. No, we were talking about Anne
Hathaway and uh, you know, Coop was still trying to
sell me on anne Hathaway and I'm like nah, and
he was like, well she looked good naked in that
one movie. I was like, hold on, wait, what what
(38:54):
was going on here with what Love and other drugs?
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Good movie.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
So I had to google. This is journalistic research here,
you know, I have to know what Coop is talking about.
And maybe there's a stone that I was left unturned
and we can't have that. So I looked and I'm like,
what in the hell is this? What is this like?
(39:20):
If I'm like, you're hotter with the robe on, and
that's bad, that's a bad sentence to say. But it's true.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
It's just true. It's a horrible take.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
It's not a horrible take. Listen, beautiful face, beautiful face,
very talented, outstanding. But I'm just telling you what I
see in still shots. That's all I'm telling you. I'm sorry.
I had no idea. That's why I love about sports
radio so much. I had zero I didn't even know
she was named People Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman of twenty
(39:57):
twenty six. Coop told me that I had I had
no idea that was even a thing, and we've weave
that into like the last three hours or so. I
had no idea that's what it would turn into. I'm
probably very responsible for that, but let the record show
I should have put my list together. I do love
John from Boston put his list of what he considers
(40:20):
hotter women than Anne Hathaway Dua lipa. I love that
he went with dua my girl, what Sidney swinteye, Scarlet Johansson. Yeah.
As much as I respect Anne and her talent and
she's hot right now, you know she's doing big things,
movie out, very successful, we could have gone in a
different direction. I feel like I feel like, let me
(40:41):
put this last thing. I'll say it gives me Lebron
like vibes from this standpoint, Okay, Lebron is an amazing
basketball player. But as soon as someone is like he's
the goat, it's like it's like it's hit the brakes
hard on that. That's why I feel like Anne. Anne
(41:02):
is amazing, She's just awesome. But as soon as almost like, yeah,
most beautiful of twenty twenty six. It's like, hey, safe
travels Coop and Lorena have fun in Beatontown.
