(01:26):
biggest stories in sports and pop culture. But are those
stories Midweek or major? Now before we wrap up, Caitlyn
Clark and we keep seeing the highlights over and over again. Hey,
if it wasn't good for ratings, why do we keep
seeing the highlights over and over and over again? Exactly?
The question is is it bad for the league or
is drama just straight up great for the league? What
(01:49):
is your boy, Triple G say in the world of boxing?
He says Max, Max smacks. He says, I am champion,
Canelo is not. I'm real cham oh oh. Drama show,
drama show, just that some people want trauma show, trauma show,
drama show. Everybody loves drama show. And I do want
to bring in one caveat that you may have heard
(02:10):
here on Fox Sports Radio. The Gottlieb was saying that
it's bad because what about the moms that want to
take their daughters to a w NBA game you're spending
good money on bad sportsmanship, bad basketball. Sometimes, like, is
this the sort of example you want to show young
women and girls in sports fans? Period? I mean, do
(02:32):
you like it when all these girls are pulling each
other's hair? My teenage daughter sees worse on her school camp.
I mean exactly, Daddy. I mean it's just something to
keep in mind, to have a you know, full conversation here.
I happen to agree that the drama is great for
the league. And no, Rich, I don't like when they're
pulling on each other's hair. I don't know if you're
talking to me either. I'm just saying, I mean, creep. Oh,
(02:53):
I'm just saying, what's up, Dan Bayer? Guys.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I know that you're getting ready for your huge weekend
in Vegas, which also includes the Sam and Big Mic
road trip, and we're gonna hear from Big Mic in
a little bit stories. But when you guys are driving,
please don't pull as Shador Sanders what happened?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Uh oh?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
The Browns rookie quarterback cited for going forty one miles
per hour over the speed limits on Tuesday morning, going
on one hundred and one in a sixty mile per
hour zone, according to police records in Strongsville, Ohio.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I won't do that, don't I do the opposite, Dan,
I go forty one in like a sixty five? Yeah, yeah,
pans Cavino on the one on one here in LA
and be like, who's going forty in the right hand lanes.
I'm old lady, and it's Steve Cavino.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I drive like mister McGoo one oh one in a
sixty four.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't don't make foolish moves at that. I'm never
one of those need for speed kind of guys, especially
a guy with such a great life and future ahead
of him. It's like, why take any risks at all?
And you know it's speaking of which terrible story. But
you saw Henry Ruggs, yeah, yesterday speaking about regret and
he wished he could turn back the clock.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
And yeah, he got to speak to a group of prisoners,
and it's sad. We recently saw Max Crosby, his former teammate,
say that he was supposed to be out at top
Golf with Ruggs that night wasn't able to go, and
he said Ruggs had never made any big mistakes in
his young life before. Wasn't wasn't a troublemaker any that
was a really good young kid and just made one
(04:29):
dumb mistake that night Danny g by driving fast after
he drank.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We were working at ESPN not too long before this happened.
We interviewed him, and I can't say you can make
a full assessment of someone in one silly interview, but
he seemed like such a night. I mean, we hung
with the guy for a half hour, and he was
a cool young kid and I'm sure still is. But
one terrible, terrible mistake. Young men, young men especially, do
really stupid things. I keep up with Iowa news, and
(04:54):
I saw that a nineteen year old man in Iowa
was on a motorcycle. He got pulled over at a
hundred and seventy seven miles per hour. Wow, one hundred
and seventy seven. I just don't care.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
He had somebody shooting video of him doing like you know,
what do they call wheelies and stuff? Yeah, and this
guy got to one seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's insane. How do you pull him over?
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Well, he got caught gone, he got caught by a
plane helicopters. Yeah, thanks for noticing the Highway Patrol had
a plane that they spotted him with, and then eventually
he did play if you have one hundred or two
hundred thousand dollars sports car and you want to see
what it can do, rent a racetrack.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You have that sort of money where you could rent
a track for yourself, No doubt, I agree. So, hey,
be safe out there, don't pull say, get to thunder
Road or something. You know, maybe he's putting people's lives
in jeopardy. I hate that man. Well, you know what,
in a in a few minutes, we're going to go
over Mike's words of wisdom, So get ready to be
dialing eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox Big
(05:50):
Mike runs his place, drop some words of wisdom. If
you repeat it verb made him word for word, you
walk away with a caveno on Rich Fox Sports Radio,
stainless steel swig. It's the sweetest water bottle known to man.
Speaking of Mike, who runs this place? Hey, Sam dan
Byer mentioned the road trip. Are you prepared to share
a queen size bed with Mike and Vegas?
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
We forgot to tell you are accombinations, we said up.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
So from what I've been told, we only have one
cot and we'll be sharing a cot in a boiler room. Yea,
it's circa And so I said nuts to butts, Right,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's going to be like old times where we're packing room.
You know what. This is the like the secondary reason
that we have these big events. Of course, we want
to connect and have fun with our listeners and make
new friends and all that and broadcast live. But the
stories that come of it are always the best part.
So I can't wait to hear That's sort of that
side of the story.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I also don't think it should be neglected that Sam
is doing this to take advantage of Mike's handicap parking,
so that is.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Let's be real. Let's be real here. It's definitely the
pork all right. So Rich we have to talk about
Lebron and ring culture. I just want to keep people
in the loop of what's going on. He's talking about
people need to drop ring culture. But isn't he the
guy that's sort of well, I don't want to say
(07:13):
started it that, I mean, we leaned into it at
least I'm gonna discuss that. But you know what, let's
not keep this waiting any longer. It's time for the
guy who runs his place to drop his words of wisdom.
It's time for the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Just for clarification, guys, Big mic does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Life is not a fairy tale. If you lose your
shoe at midnight, you're just wasted, which actually happened Rich.
You know, we called Rich barefoot Jones for years because
he was so drunk at a party. One time I
saw him in a circle of girls like hamming it up,
like hey, Rich, what's going on? And we're thinking, I'm
(08:08):
just hanging out all these beautiful women, high ladies, and
I'm like, dude, where's your shoes? He was so drunk,
didn't realize he had no shoes on. Swear to God,
true story. That is a true story. They called me
barefoot Jones. Tree. You old the barefoot Jones for years
because somebody I lost my foot, Pops. Somebody ended up
discovering these shoes in a room and like, whose shoes
are these? But they were riches, Hey, listen, it was
(08:29):
spring break in the two thousands. What do you want
me to tell you legend of Barefoot Jones.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
We have a beautiful swiggy waiting to be won right
now in the studio lines.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now, while we wait for that winner to call in,
I do want to share something I did yesterday. That
number really quick the number again, eight seven, seven, nine
to nine on Fox. Repeat Mike's words verbatim, and you win.
I feel like I did. I feel like I did
something that needed to be done for the younger generation.
As you know, I've talked about it quite a bit.
I'll say, what you trimmed your back hair for Vegas? Now,
(08:58):
I'm gonna do that tonight. My kid, I coach both
my kids. My son Ben is five. I get so
much joy teaching these little five and six year olds baseball.
It's honestly, it's what I get what I get the
most joy out of other than, you know, just being
a dad and doing the show with you guys. Like,
(09:19):
I'm pretty blessed, and I do love coaching. I could
see why I got, like Doug gott Lee blessed doing
on a professional level right, because it really is teaching
and watching rewarding. It's rewarding, right, and yesterday it's one
hundred degrees Danny g in the valley. Can you back
me up that it's like one hundred degrees in gross
in the valley.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
It is like it's in the like mid nineties and
Sherman outside.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Like I saw the forecast, there was sunny, sunny, sweaty
ass today and then sweaty asses sway yeah, swasty weather,
swasty put in the valley, Dany like West Hills, Calabasas,
Woodland Hills. It's like a hundred yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Even last night we weren't able to open up the
windows or the sliding glass door because it's it's too
you don't get any breeze right now.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So these little kids, we're doing baseball practice for this
week's tournament, and I could see they're like irritable. Even
brought the little missing fan I have that I bought
at home. Deeply, those cooling rags that we have these kids,
My wife bought those with the kids. Is that missing thing?
Is that what Covino uses on his hair that have mercy?
(10:23):
So you'll love this because it's a move that these
kids probably would never do. In between infield practice and batting.
I'm like, kids, come with me, because I know why
the snackhack. There is a hose and I was like,
all right, let's go, and I sprayed all these kids
down with the hose and then is it true you
(10:43):
also spray to mom with a white T shirt on?
But I mean that is accidentally creep o. And then
my son goes, I want to drink of water, and
all the kids, one at a time, took a simple water.
Hey that's generation X is bragging round. Yeah the ho
that's old school dandy. Some of the parents made eye
contact with with me. Like tastes like rabbit, like well done,
(11:05):
like because these little kids are freaking spoiling pampers right
by the time they see what it's like to have
rust in their mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
And you know what, this tastes calcified. It's let's taste
like coins. It's yeah, it tastes a little different. Coach Rich, Hey, kids,
are you sure that's well pump? You'll live now you're
gonna have a reputation. You poison the kids. I poison
all the kids in the alley. But bodies can't handle that.
But I will say I think it was one of
those cool little memories. I'll remember these little kids all
(11:35):
drinking out of the hose like we did in the
eighties and nineties. Now every kid has our own little
water bottle and Stanley cup and all the different things.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So exactly. All right, let's get a contestant. I have
given you time to think about this. Mike's words of wisdom.
If you can repeat it verbatim, you win that prize. Again.
Let's get a contestant and do this. Who we got there?
All right, Mike and Mississippi. Mike, you think you got this?
Speaker 3 (12:00):

Speaker 7 (12:10):
If you lose a shoe at midnight.

lost it. He had it is one word, ship up
on one word. It's got to be verbatim. We can't
(12:34):
just be handing out swiggies. This is like the Stanley
Cup of the Covino. And Rich show. Life's not a
third I think is that Part's right? Okay, hey, let's
get someone else. We got to get a winner here.

part of the day. Well you know what again, play
again next week. Thanks for calling. I know it's a
lot of pressure to call on the radio, but you
get to win this prize and you learn a little something.
(13:28):
Some words of wisdom The numbers eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox if you could repeat it verbatim, eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.
We're gonna get more phone calls, but let's dive into
this Lebron James thing, Uh, yeah, this is wildly funny
to me because when when someone's uh, you know you
(13:50):
guys jokingly call me double talking David she which I
never double talk. I try not to. When people say
something Davis and then people say the complete opposite, it
makes me laugh. Lebron James, Well, hold on, You're allowed
to change your mind, You're allowed to evolve. Yeah, because
(14:10):
our famous example is before we became dads, we used
to say, I'm never gonna have a toy castle in
my living room ever, get your toys out of my
living room. Yeah, And of course life takes over and
you realize the kids take over, and you realize that
you just want to have a fun family. Yeah, and
what you used to say changed, and that's okay. I
(14:32):
remember when Cavino was a dad and I had not
become a dad. Jet we all went out to a
Japanese restaurant, big group of people, and Covino's daughter left
her little toy chopsticks at home and Cavino lived like
two blocks away. Kevino I was like, yeah, bro, let
me just turn around. I gotta get her chopsticks. And
in my mind, I'm like your kid will just deal.
(14:53):
Everyone judged me, like, man, what a weeny daddy is?
Just tell your daughter to deal with it. And now
I realize that if my kid left something they wanted
behind and I was a block away, you damn well
know I'm turning around because it's just saving me the hassle.
So I tried to prevent a meltdown, and it was
sort of my fault. I was really the ones that
(15:13):
forgot them. Yeah, and I remember saying, I remember saying Kevino,
I'm sorry, Bud, you were right back then? Or how
about this one?
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I just didn't know. You evolve, you change, You're allowed
to change your mind. I'm just saying for the sake
of conversation, to keep that in mind here and then
tell me how you feel about all this. I used
to say, I used to have a rule, guys that
you would I could never travel more than twenty minutes
for booty. That was the rule back in our twenties.
Remember that, I said, I'll never travel when twenty minutes
for booty And then I met someone else traveling across
(15:40):
the country every weekend like an idiot. Yeah, so you
change your mind. It happens. Lebron James slams the NBA's
obsession with ring culture. It's just weird to me. Yeah,
Lebron on ring culture, this is what he said. I
don't know why it's discussed so much in our sport.
You're telling me iverson Barclay Nash weren't fing unbelievable. They
(16:04):
can't be talked about with these guys because they didn't
win rings. It's like saying Peyton Manning camp in the
same room as Brady or Mahomes because he only has
one ring. Yeah, yeah, Peyton has two. So Lebron's wrong
with the quote. First of all, Barry Bonds never won
a World Series. You can't sit here and tell me
he's not the greatest player to ever touch a bat.
(16:27):
So when you hear that quote, you got to say
to yourself, he mean, we are obsessed with ring culture.
But hold on, is Lebron the guy that's like, how
many were gonna win? Not three, no four, not five,
not six, not seven, like, and that was also the
guy that sort of started the trend three not four,
not five, not six, seven, not seven. I mean he's
(16:47):
the guy that he's the guy that at that left
his hometown team to go play and start and create
a super team for the ring. So that's the part
of the story. It's like, dude, you're the guy that
created that culture. He built a super team to win
a couple, then he went back to his hometown to
(17:08):
win a ring, which was glorious for Cleveland, and then
he went to the Lakers to win for the biggest
dynasty maybe other than the Celtics and NBA history. So
when you hear everything laid out, is he allowed to
change his mind? Does he make a point or is
he the biggest double talker? Sort of hedging what he
put out there, because guess what, he doesn't want to
(17:31):
be compared as the guy who has less rings than Jordan.
He's basically saying without saying, I'm still the greatest that
has ever played the game, despite who has more rings
than me. Now you can say, yeah, Robert, or he
has more rings than him. Does that mean he's a
better player?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But how many great players out there don't have rings?
Think about it? Not that many. I mean it's the
ultimate rationale, right, We all do this in life. If
something works out in our favor, then it's the most
important thing. But if it doesn't, you'll say to yourself
like that, it doesn't really matter anyway. And it's also
the source. It's it's Lebron. He's the poster boy for
(18:08):
rings mattering, in my opinion, and that's that's what makes
it interesting. If we were up for an award for
I don't know, the dopiest radio show, if we won,
you'd be like, dude, awards matter, look at this. If
we didn't win, you'd be like, the stupid award award anyway.
And I think that's what Lebron's doing now because while
he is way accomplished more than most people in any
(18:30):
sport in the history of athletics, he still is shy
of of the other greats, and I think it's easy
for him to now say the rings matter. Come also
on the Lakers for that same reason. I mean, you're
in the game of wins and losses, and you're in
(18:50):
the game of championships. If Lebron had six any championships mattering.
If Lebron had six and he was tied with Jordan,
or had seven one more than Jordan, and had the
same as Brady Head in the NFCA A matter, he'd say,
your baby ring culture that's what it's about. Yeah, that's
that's You're about winning. Your narrative goes along with how
(19:10):
you do. That's just a fact. All right, let's get
a winner for the SWIGI. More people are saying they
could nail this. Mike's words of wisdom.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
We have three contestants left to play, because remember we
agreed five tries at this.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Okay, yeah, you get five chances. If not, you just lose.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yeah, we're on the third try right now. It's cruise
in San Diego?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
What of Cruz?
Speaker 3 (19:29):
About those locals forever? What's going on.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Business?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Cruciso. I think I'm speaking with Nikolo.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And that's right, that's me.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Looking looking forward to the Padres Dodgers tonight. PRIs really
need one. I tell you what, if the game gets
out of hand, there's gonna be another plunkin. So it's
either gonna be Mooky Freeman or Otani.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Just heads up, Yo, Danny, he's called out what Dodger
he's gonna hit tonight? He's not sports of wisdom.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
They can have a pro eight in San Diego with
a big sign that says we plunked a Dodger's cruise.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
You got the words wisdom.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I sure do it. But also head to a big
mic who runs a place.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Big like that. He's giving Mike shout outs. Let's let's
hear the words of wisdom. Cruise, all right, life is.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Not a fairy tale. If you lose your shoe at midnight,
you're just wasted.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, I make you right on the outside, finally the inside,
finally win something nice. Cruisito, all right.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Cruise, hang on the line and get your info and
we're gonna mail a C and R swiggy tea there
in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Thanks Cruise, he's got there, he's got the Swiggee. Thank you, buddy,
thank you. Congrats. That's great. So we got a winner.
And again, guys, don't feel bad if you lost. Culture.
It's not about winning. It's not about winning. You know.
That's the funny thing about it. Your five year old
team that you coach. It's not about winning. He's about fundamentals.
(21:05):
But you know what, though, if we were winning every tournament,
I'd say it's all about winning. Again, you change your
narrative to what works for you. It really is the truth.
But I'm okay with that. But what's interesting about the
Lebron thing is He's in the profession of wins and
losses and winning. That's the whole point of what he
does and the whole point of what he did in
(21:29):
this league. So that's what makes it interesting. I don't
want to I'm not saying I'm calling him out or
mad at him or anything, but it's like really winning.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
I mean, as a Lakers fan, I don't like hearing that.
I'd rather hear him say, you know what, I want
to win one more ring before I go out.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You know what that's I'm sure he feels out, Danny
g that's a really great point, Like, who the heck
wants to hear that? And I wanted to really dissect
a few more things before we move on. Yeah, Like,
you don't want to hear your boss be like, yeah, listen, man,
give him my employees raises. Is that really what it's
all about? No, you don't want to hear that. Listen.
Think about it again. Barkley and Nash. You know, of
(22:09):
course they were great, but I think we'd hold them
at a higher echelon if they did win. You know,
you always bring up the fact that they didn't. That's true. Well, hey, Spotty,
I could see him he's doing squad thrust in the corner.
He's getting ready winning midweek major. All the stories that

nice and high quality. You don't want anyone touching you.
Sometimes it just depends who right. So again, I'm Covino,
stop rubbing off. That is Rich, Danny g Sam Bayer
spot everybody at Covino and Rich. We do this every Wednesday.
We call it mid Week Major.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Coveno and Rich get you over the middle of the
week when mid Week Major Major. I love that we
throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas,
and it's like the kids.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
We definitely here see it our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
I gotta go really quick here to give Spotty a
full eight minute run.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
All right, you hear the horns. You know you've made
it to the middle of the week.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this segment, we roll the two big
red love dice over there in the main studio, I
roll the seven.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Oh is that a good precursor you give me in
Vegas in less than twenty four hours. Oh, I'm not
a big gambling man. I'm there to schmooze and booze.
All right, then a ritual I win, I win.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Alright, that meets con gets first take. And now, ladies
and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from
Scotch Plains New Jersey Spotty boy.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
BI guys, let's do this. Let's jump right in so
leading with the La Sparks.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
I know you guys are all about the WNBA well
knows drama when there's drama. Here's a little bit of
social media drama for you. The La Sparks social media
team getting flak for their choice of a game day
graphic that's now gone viral amongst their fans, who thinks
it attracts all the wrong attention. So ahead of last
night's game against the Seattle Storm, the team released a
graphic with game day info where to watch the game,
(25:47):
and rather than like one of the players wearing a
jersey or an action shot, it actually featured Sparks rookie
Ashley Barker sporting a black top bikini. Ooh, I'll spitting
a basketball and are bigger fans calling out the team
in the comments for posting thirst traps standing against what
the NBA players stand for or have been trying to
avoid for their entire career, also calling out comparison, saying
(26:10):
you know they would never have Austin Reeves on the
Lakers page shirtless, so you know, just to promote the game.
So as of now, the post is still up, has
plenty of comments if you want to go read them,
But midweek or me, no.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I gotta see the picture. But base only say is
it really that riskue or is it just a bikini?
Shows it's not pockative, just hotes lean into that zip
it zippy, I get first take here. So she looks hot,
lean into it. You're trying to attract fans. It's not
over the top. It's not x ratus, not r rated.
(26:43):
She's good looking. Why is that a bad thing? I
don't get it. I smell jealousy here and be if
guys are going to tune in because they think they
who cares? As long as they're tuning in, and then
you provide a great product and some good basketball to
win win for everybody. In fact, on the show Power
Moves right now now with Shaquille O'Neal, the story about
him and promoting Reebok on Netflix, he's taking all these
(27:06):
sexy pictures of Angel Reese, So what lean into it? Somebody?
These girls are good looking. That's a that's a bonus.
I say this story itself is weak. It's a good story,
but the whole, like premise of the story is weak.
That yeah, the premise of like why are they doing it?
That's weak. I think the story's made because it's a
(27:29):
good idea. You're right, what's wrong with being hot? Did? When? Did? When?
Did looking good go out of style? I look at
it this way. How many straight men are watching the WNBA?
Not many? You try to lure some straight men to
watch women's basketball. You have other demographics already watching. You
want straight men. I don't know why you would say
a good looking photo of someone that she voluntarily took
(27:51):
that the organization posted. Lean into it, and don't tell
me men never pose quote sexy. It was okay when
Jeter and a eight round lookating at himself in the mirror,
kiss himself in the mirror. Yes, remember that weird SI
photo shoot where all those rookie shortstops had no shirt
on too? I remember? And it's the wallpaper on your laptop, right,
so you know what, Actually, Rich, I sort of take
(28:12):
back what I said. The story's weak, but it is major. Yeah,
it's a major story.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
I'm looking at this and it's you know, it's a
bikini that has a lot of cloth on it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I'll just say that. So it's it's fine. It's clothee.
Is that what you're wearing to the pool on Friday?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Yes, clothee bikini, Clothee bikini, a lot of material.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
All right, you guys, good now, I'm good. All right.
I think the WNBA sometimes is its worst enemy. Yeah.
They don't embrace their stars. They push away from positive promotion.
I don't get it. Wnba is like they try to
sink themselves all right to.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
FIGHTE What you think of his son's performance? Lebron has
definitely made history playing with Bronni playing with the son
Brownni on the court. But his other son Bryce also
following in dad's footsteps, recently accepting a scholarship offer from Arizona.
So could Lebron be playing with his two sons at once?
What do you think, Lebron?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
What do you think? No?
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Lebron spoke out saying it's absolutely unrealistic. Acknowledges how insane
it will be played to play his twenty third season
at forty two years old. Hasn't given a specific timetable
or date on the end of his career. I know
he's been talking about it for years now at this point,
currently need nursing a knee injury, ready for getting trying
to get ready for training camp in September, but said
that it is very unlikely that he will play with
(29:24):
his two sons on the same team.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Midweek er Major, it's a mid story. Let Bryce do
his own thing. Let's not rush him and make the
same mistakes just to get some ratings and to create
a story, because it's not about a family affair here.
It really is about rings. Whether he wants to say
it's not, it is. It's about winning. So we're not
(29:48):
trying to just fit his son into the team just
for the story. They got to fit the right players
in there to win. Yeah, this is week. It would
be pretty cool for a dad to play with his
two sons. But that just now we're pushing it, you rushing. Yeah,
it's unrealistic, but hey, a cool thought, right, And by
the way, I looked up that picture. It's not even
(30:09):
like a bikini. It's a coffee bikini. It's almost like
a tos Sam said. And it's like a handkerchief made
into a bikini. And she's like, she's attractive, and it
says game danger has a basketball. Everyone's such a loser.
I'm so Aggrid, Who would be mad at that? I love?
I love your passion? All right.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Well, the twenty twenty five Club World Cup that's soccer
rich is currently underway with games playing all over the
US several stadiums. So after several games in one huge
factor has fans very concerned, and that is the heat.
So eighty thousand fans were at the Rose Bowl this week,
got a preview of that heat. As you know, it's
it's you open the door out here, it's it's sweltering.
(30:46):
But it also has fans actually looking ahead more concerned
about next year's feet for World Cup, which will take place,
as you know, across three countries, the US, Canada, and Mexico,
with eleven of those stadiums in the US, so five
of them have roofs, with the rest being open air.
Seven of them likely to experience extreme humidity and tempts
at least in the nineties. They're actually looking at some
(31:08):
of the games coming up and a lot of the
players are saying they're not used to playing in heat
like this, So looking ahead to next year, maybe they'll
have to make some accommodations for the people. World Cup
actually takes place around this time. The dates line up next.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Year, so midweek or major Well, his parents say, right,
every dad says, it's not about the heat, it's the humidity.
There you go. It's not the heat to catch you
as I tie my Nike Monarchs and pull my pants
up real high. That's the truth. But it's a mid story, dude.
(31:41):
I would say week, but I understand the importance of soccer.
I think it's kind of mid Listen, just hire coach Rich.
I'll spraining down with water and have them drink out
of a host. They'll be fine, goods, fuck or good.
I'm fine. Okay, Now, let's go to Dan Buyer for
an update. Spot is already on the flight to Vegas.
I feel like you hated all my story, so we
(32:02):
just want it. I got more, man, that's fine, I
love them, he goes, let's got that.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
dB guys sooner Sanders was gone flying down the highway

(32:49):
being valued at ten billion dollars as part of this sale.
Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton a game time decision for tomorrow's
Game six against the Thunder.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
They got to be as I as I want to
be aple to understand the risks, as the right questions,
but I'm a competitor. I want to play.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
I'm gonna do everything in my power to play, and
that's just what it is.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He's got a calf strain with the Thunder up three
to two, trying to close out the finals as they
play in Indianapolis. College World Series. Coastal Carolina Louisville eleven
to three today to advance to the best of three
championship series. Coastal has won twenty six straight games and
will face either LSU or Arkansas in the final. Raven
Sound Corner Jay R. Alexander to a one year, four
million dollar deal that could be worth six million dollars
(33:31):
in incentives, and the College Football Playoff will require schools
to provide injury reports prior to playoff games as for
a new format for twenty twenty six that has still
not been decided by the committee.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Guys, back to you, Thank you, Dan Bayer, Hey dB,
is it you probably this is more of a legal question,
but you think we'll see the cop dashcam footage of
Shador Sanders because I feel like how he treated the
police officer would be a big story if that came out. Oh,
I'm I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah, I'm sure it probably will if.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
He was all humble and like I'm sorry officer versus
like I'm sure Sanders, Dion's my dad, and like any
sign of do you know who I am? Yeah, I
think that's the star.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I don't know if people will change their opinion of
Schador Sanders. I just think that somebody will try to
access that footage without it. If you don't like him,
you know you're not a fan. You're gonna be like,
why was he speeding? Even if he was very nice?
And then if he wasn't nice, there's more ammunition. If
you like Shador Sanders, you're gonna figure out ways to say, well,
at least it wasn't fifty over.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I'm being facetious, but that's true. I agree with you,
but I I do think there is a layer where
his humility, as your mom would say, she hates when
we say humblenessed his humility and humble behavior. Versus if
he's like, you know, I'm sure to have Sanders. I'm
the new Browns quarterback. What are you doing? You know? Like,
if he's like that, hey we got more Cavino and
(34:57):
Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hang tight, everyone,

(37:12):
I gotta ask have you gotten friends jobs before? I
think we all have, right, I mean or put in
the good word good word, definitely, But it's really on
them and their qualifications. Right you could you could give
someone the recommendation. Yeah. Do you see what happened in
the NFL. This is a pretty cool story. Lamar Jackson
told Ravens GM Eric DaCosta, go get Jaii, Alexander, that's
(37:36):
my boy, go get them yo. We got to play together.
They were teammates in college and Da Cosca DaCosta delivered.
I love that and cool. You got to think about
some of those old camaraderies people had in college. I
always think about how there's such an understated vibe that
Burrow and Jamar Chase play together like people forget that
(37:58):
there takes a minute to get that chemistry. They had
it at LSU and it just translated right to the NFL.
Imagine that if he also had Justin Jefferson. My point
is also looking out for your boy and built in
chemistry and just goes to show you the poll that
Lamar Jackson has and keeping your quarterback happy. All these
factors matter. They're not often discussed, but I think it's great.
(38:21):
And it also shows how when it's Aaron Rodgers we
make fun of it. When it's Lamar Jackson, like that's cool, right,
I think it's It almost felt like Aaron Rodgers demanded
and they weren't athletes in their prime anymore, where Lamar's like, Yo,
this guy is my guy. Let's go. Yeah. It feels like, hey,
what do you think? Like, absolutely, get him, that's great.
I'd love to play with him. Who wouldn't you know?
(38:42):
Rich You often say that we craftily, you especially, have
positioned yourself in a situation where you're working with friends,
and it makes it that much better. I feel that
way genuinely, like I enjoy Danny G's a friend. I
was Sam dan Byer Moncey, who's here. I feel like
(39:04):
if you work with people you consider friends, the people
that you actually enjoy to be around, you're going to
be better at your job. I think a clubhouse in
a locker room where teammates that genuinely like each other,
the team's going to be better. I think he would
you just stick your neck out for when it came
to actually getting hired. As far as interns, the ones
that we felt like they were great people, they were friends.
They worked hard, but they were friends. They became friends,
(39:26):
and you want to work with those people. It feels
less like work when you're going through the hallway and yo,
what's up man? Or your buds feels less like work.
Like I love that, Like iwa Sam will text to
something stupid at like ten pm, like the funny name
or something. You know how many people we have in
this business that we've crossed paths with us that are
really just friends of ours because we worked with them
and we or we helped them get a job along
(39:48):
the way, they were our pals. I like this Lamar
Jackson story because I feel like, honestly, the product that
any company, any sports team is going to be better
when you surround yourself with people that are just fun
to be around. Spot. I mean he knows this, but
when Spot used to interview all our intern and producer candidates,
(40:09):
the number one qualification isn't oh where'd you go to college?
When me see your resume? Was do you want to
hang out with this person every day? And do they
are they a good person? We would have interns sit
in the studio with us for a full show and
can you be around bad jokes? Well, that's the thing.
If they laughed at our bad jokes, or if they
acted like they got a kick out of what we
did and they got it, we like them. If they
(40:31):
sat there with a resting bee face the whole time,
you know, smug and board. Who wants to be surrounded
by that guy? Oh yeah, I don't want to hang
with you. There's some people around here. I'm sure you
don't want to hang with No, but it's true, fortunately
not at our network. Like honestly, if there was a list,
it would be a very short list. It's a short
I mean it's a short one.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
There's always a list, right, what I'm saying the majority
is likely tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Are you there, MS like
