Speaker 1 (00:22):
I gotta just bring this up because it's ridiculous. I
feel like a trick is being played on our buddy
Bursch here at work?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Is he getting got Gotti? Bursch got him? Is right?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
I walk into his studio because Bursch does a great
job pulling clips and editing and putting out the social
media posts. I go, Bursh, what's what? He's scared of vampires?
What's going on here? He has no joke ropes of garlic?
I'm like, dude, relax, what is it? The nose ferratu?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Is he s he around here? Somewhere? I am looking
for Bursh?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
How he keeps the chick chat away from his edits.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Brush.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
All you need to say is Rich Davis shut up
a little bit. You don't need to hang garlic in
your office. This guy has silver bullets. Crucifixes garlic. We're
trying to figure out what's going on, and word on
the streets is he's eating chunks of garlic, garlic clothes.
He's non on garlic as we speak, because Ben Mallard

(01:27):
told him it helps with a cold.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
But he looks miserable in there, just trying to get
through it, like whatever his little cold symptoms that were
coming on. Because I get it. We all know that
feeling where you're like, oh man, my gross kids are sick.
I feel something coming on. I want to stop it.
It's a preemptive measure. Some people take airborne. Some people
say that's bs. Other people say, oh, we get some
vitamin C. Why don't you tell him if you rub
onions on the bottom of your feet it helps cure

(01:51):
the cold quicker?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
What do you That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I almost feel as though Ben Maller, Ben Maller, through
another one of our great producers, Brie, Yeah, they're both
in this, has told.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Bursch to eat cloves of garlic.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
His office smells, he looks miserable, and I can only
believe they're playing a trick on him. I should tell
him what my grandma told me you gotta rub your
belly and say sana sana colito. Did you say most
Latinos just rub icy hot everywhere, vix vapors rub it
on your feet, your chest, Yes, and as u Chris

(02:28):
Rock often said, you know, just the tuss and get
the tussin tussing for everything. So get him some icy
hot and tussing, but not icy has always Vix has
always vix.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Has anyone ever tricked you?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I know it's a random question, but I almost feel
like that's something like one of your college bros or
one of your buddies when you played high school or
college sports and be like, oh, you're feeling this.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do this.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
A lot of people swear by like a garlic and
I've heard mixing honey with garlic, like letting them seep together,
creating a concoction that it can help kind of.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I have a sore throat in this business for all
these years. For me, I used a concoction of like
ginger and lemon, ginger and honey that kind of vibe,
that kind of tea. And he said he was having
a sore throat, So the whole garlic thing was a
little odd.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I like garlic, so it wouldn't bother me as much.
But he's eating it.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Raw by then, I like it a bread and Italian food.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
No.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Mahler has raved about this on our network for years.
He says he takes the garlic clothes, he sucks the
juices out of it, and it kills whatever is starting
to infect his throat.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Helps with inflammation.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Probably Thatler's like a seven He's a seven foot goon,
so no one has to breathe directly in his mouth like.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Area right, poor bur I walked in, I'm like, why
are you so set?

Speaker 6 (03:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
That's why, because he was trying to eat these Now,
are there other things that you've tried because some boso
at the office suggested it. Hey, I'll give you a
story that really worked and it was wild. You're not
gonna believe me, Danny G dan Byer, I want all
of your attention. I was going through a really tough
time finance for multiple reasons, mostly my ex and we're

(04:03):
not going to talk about that. But I was flying
back and forth and I had to sell my place
on the East coast. Let the record be stated. I
did not bring up his x y yea, But you
were here he did it.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I know he was.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
The mini said, I was going through financial times of
like Mercedes truck, second house sold. Okay, all the things
that your ex I was paying run drive for choices
that I was making. Right, I'll take responsibility and accountability.
But I had a house on the East coast and
it wouldn't sell. It wouldn't sell, and it was a
townhouse in a whole townhouse community, and everyone in that

(04:33):
community was.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Short selling their property and I was not.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
So I was at regular price, what the regular value
was trying to compete with other places in the area
short selling their properties.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
So no one was buying my place. My place was
double the cost of every other place.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
A colleague of mine, a makeup woman named Angela, is like,
here's what you gotta do.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
She's like, you gotta be careful, be careful with those
makeup conversations. Oh yeah, they're being recorded. I heard.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
She goes, you gotta find a statue of Saint Joseph.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
She's like, you know Saint Joseph. I'm like, yeah, what
about him.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
She's like, you gotta buy one of those statues and
bury it in the front, in the front lawn or whatever,
and say this prayer.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm like, what prayer? I knew nothing about this, but
I was so desperate.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I was all here was to micheleta High May She said,
you have to repeat after me in John Be's Mecca
leta high Micha.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Heiney, ho are you pt w Herman upside down? Right?
So she was kind enough. She knew every day I'd
come into the makeup chair.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Basically your makeup person that a gig like that is
like your psychiatrist, right, They just listen to all your problems.
And I'm always telling her about this dilemma I'm in.
If you're a good guy. She eventually bought me a
Saint Joseph's statue and it came with the prayer and everything,
and I read it and it had rules to it,
like you gotta bury it now after midnight. It had

(06:06):
all these different rules to it, bury it upside down
and say this prayer, and you gotta believe. And I
was so desperate to sell this house. Years had gone by,
no one was buying it. I buried the Saint Joseph,
I said the prayer after midnight.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I did the sign of the cross and the moon.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
The moon just like the instruction, then your curb appeal
go down, I asked you not.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I sold that place two weeks later.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Not coincidence. I couldn't sell it for years, statue, not coincidence.
It was just some zany thing that I heard or
I thought was aany at the time, Like, yeah, right,
tried it worked, so hey, maybe Burch is on the
right track. Eating raw garlic in the office, even though
offensive to everybody else.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Hopefully it helps him.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
If you have and I know there's so much NFL
to get to, but I find this to be actually
more interesting in the moment, if you have an odd
home remedy that you swear by it. I mean, these
things happen in sports, to be honest. Someone gives some
weird advice and they tinker with their batting stance turns
out to work.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
A man, would you believe it?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
There was one time, honestly, there was one time that
I thought I was gonna be unable to fight, and
this old Asian guy was like, and he runs his
hands together. You know what this is interesting?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Miyagi? Do you know this?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I've heard of him of Miagi? Do Crotha, Yes, it's
big out here in the valley. I had such an
issue early on in my baseball career. Yeah, probably in
my prime of twelve ish, I think Little League. I
just kept upper cutting the ball, cutting up, popping up,
popping up, popping up, dropping that back, dropping that back elbow,

(07:49):
and I had a coach say, look, this will probably
help you fix it. Just keep your bat level from
the start because you're getting two hurky jerky going for
the fence. Just bat level back and just swing through forward,
so you know, like almost like the wally back. I
cut down my motion instead of doing all this right,
I just went from here to here and boom mine.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Drive boom frozen rope boom mine drive, slumpbuster.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Small adjustments, small advice, sounded dumb at the time, ended
up working.

Speaker 7 (08:18):
I'd rather look good and hit two hundred than look
weird and hit three hundred weird.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I got photos of it too, because and then people
would like imitate me, like that's how I battled back.
Don't make me look like Craig Council for an extra
twenty points.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
So yeah, it does apply to sports because you're like, really,
and then somebody these Oldzheimer tricks work. They can be ridiculous,
like eating garlic. But you're right, there's like real slight adjustments.
Like you saw the picture on the Mets Manaia he
dropped his arm angle slightly and just that slight, that

(08:54):
slight angle. He went from an era in the forest.
The second half of the year he was like unhittable again.
And sports it can be a little adjustment. But I
want to hear the ridiculous ones like, hey, you got
a sore throat, eat raw garlic. Like you're like, you're
preventing you have vampires.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, I'm reading here online that garlic. Also, they claim
that it cures athlete's foot.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Is that why he has them around his angles?

Speaker 5 (09:18):
There's like anti bacterial properties associated with garlic. So maybe
because athlete's foots of bacteria can kill it.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Can I tell you something.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
When my wife was pregnant with our first kid, my
daughter Emmy. You know how every guy listening, you know
how your wife is toward month eight or nine where
they're like, I just want this baby out of me.
They are sick of being pregnant. We went to a
pizzeria in Burbank, California that is known for like if
you eat this salad, the salad dressing like induces induces

(09:50):
where there's pictures on the wall of all these women
that were like, my baby came two days after I
had this salad. So I remember going to Burbank being like,
are you out of your mind? But I didn't say
that because my wife was like nine months pregnant. But
I'm like, Urel, let's go get that salad. People will
do crazy things, So shout out to Burr. She does
a great job.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
He every day. But I'm in his office and.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
He's got like, like I said, garlic hanging from like
his bedfriend.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, he had it around his necklace today. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
So did you grandma ever give you a spoon of
sugar for your hiccups?

Speaker 6 (10:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
That can't be true, but my mom and grandma both
did that.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
She had diabetes, so I heard it helps the medicine
go back. By the way, my mom and grandmother both
that's weird. Here's a spoonful of sugar.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, yeah, you take sugar for everything.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
A lot of grandma's and old people have these old
school remedies that could be to vinegar.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah or is it all bs? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I actually tried that recently. I didn't know I had
a clog in my turlet. Nothing crazy happened. It was clogging, right,
and it wouldn't fix. And I read that terraino is
no good for the turlet and it's bad for your pipe. Right,
So I'm like, I tried the dish washing soap and
hot water, and then I tried vinegar and baking soda.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
To try a plunger. I of course try to plunge her.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
And you know, after after a few days, try sticking
in your arm that you try sticking your arm down it.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, been there, done that. I like the preface. Nothing
crazy happens.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Something happened, crazy happened. There was a work poot stuck
in there. But anyway, I did eventually get it working
without any you know, weird things. So anyway, I did
vinegar and baking, so right, you know, listen, we're all listen.
My feeling is that if you hit her, i'd forty.

(11:36):
Every guy and girl is trying to find different ways
to I guess better their health.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I see all these idiots that you see on social media,
like first thing when I wake up, and I've tried.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Them, Like I have a lemon tree in my yard
and all these lemons just go to waste. So I'm like,
you know what, maybe every morning I'll have warm lemon water.
I did it for like a couple of weeks, and
I'm like, I feel nothing different.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
But bring those lemons in, we'll eat, We'll take them.
You know, you want to make a lemon some lemonade.
Oh yeah, there's some free lemons in here right now.
But I want more. I'll bring listers for everyone waste.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
But yeah, no, So I mean these little tricks, what works,
what doesn't. Again, we'll get to NFL and all the
other stuff. But it was funny. We walked in here
today and Bursch's in a pool of garlic.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, he's just trying to ward off the kavorka.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Remember that episode of Seinfeld, Kramer has to wear the
garlic necklace because.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
He's got the kavorka and he has to get rid
of it. It's like the peel. Sometimes, when you're desperatet,
you'll try anything. So Ben Maller could have told him anything,
and he would have gave it a go. That's the
point here. We'll take a few phone calls and then
we got to talk Jade and Daniels because there's a
funny story about him.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
We gotta get to him and.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
How he's going to watch the super Bowl or is
he going to watch the super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I want to take a few phone calls. Let's go back.
Danny G's on the phones.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's our number,
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Or hit us
up at Covino and Rich.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Start with Dave and Ohio, what's up Dave?

Speaker 8 (12:56):
Hey, how you doing? Guys?

Speaker 9 (12:57):
Love the show Man?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
What's up? Brother?

Speaker 9 (13:00):
So I'm on the phone with my mother one hundred
years ago, talking about whatever.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
And looked down.

Speaker 9 (13:06):
I got this ward on my finger, and I'm telling
my mom, man, I've had this wart on my finger.
I've tried Compoundzbie, I've tried, everything's examined, just keeps coming back,
coming back. She says, cut a potato in half, rub
it on the war, and got outside and buried the potato.
So I think, well, you're nuts, but laughingly cut potato

(13:28):
and half rub it on the ward, take it outside.
And it was thunderstorm that day. I remember out in
the rain.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
My wife called me crazy.

Speaker 10 (13:37):
Buried the potato.

Speaker 9 (13:39):
About a week the wart's gone and I thought it
was the acid from the potato or whatever whatever.

Speaker 10 (13:44):
It was hadn't be back, never came back.

Speaker 11 (13:47):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Boy, whoa. I love that story. Now I'm thinking, can
I use that on my ward? Say? Is that why
you put a potato in your pants?

Speaker 10 (13:56):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Sam Matt where you guy?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I heard if you rub a potato on it and
put it in your pants, well I heard, it gets it.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
It goes away real quick.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
And then if you bury the potato, will it grow
a potato? Like the will it we get more potatoes.

Speaker 11 (14:08):
Out of this?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Why do you have to bury? That's the weird, that's
that's the I think you could have just robbed the potato.
But thanks for sharing, man, Trevor, real quick in Waco,
and then we'll move on, does it Jaden Daniels super
Bowl Store and you're like, wow, does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
It does? What's up, Trevor?

Speaker 8 (14:25):
Hey, what's going on? Guys? Thanks for taking my call again?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
No problem? What's up?

Speaker 8 (14:29):
I don't have any personal well, I mean this kind
of plays into a personal story, but real quick, uh,
Martin Grace, I want to say he played for the
Cups back in the day. I think he was on
the Jim Rome Show. He said, anytime your team or
you're in a personal swump, just find the gnarliest, fattest
chick you can find at the bar and lay the

(14:51):
wood to her.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And yeah again, the slump buster.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, and I know it sounds a little off color,
especially in today's world. It's a true story that he tells.
So that is an old story and it's gone viral
recently on social media. And what was said then on
Rome Show just hits the ears so different in today's
sensitive weenies these days, I know, but you know, you know,

(15:17):
it apparently worked the same thing with the legend of
the Golden thong for the Yankees. You heard that story
right where Jeter was going through a slump, and he
doesn't say who it was, but everybody knows it was
Giambi that told him that anytime I'm in a slump, I.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Wear this gold thong.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
So Jeter wore it. In the first pitch he saw
a home run boom. Sometimes these things work, these little tricks,
and maybe garlic is the key here.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
If you got a sore.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Throat or something, well, hey, Jaden Daniels, let me set
this up. Jaden Daniels says, I'm not bitter. I'm bitter.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Is that what your therapist said? Don't be bitter, be better?
Daniels says, I'm not bitter. We had a great season.
I'll probably watch the super Bowl. So I gotta ask,
do you assume that the NFL watches the Super Bowl?
All these players on the losing teams if you lost

(16:17):
in the playoffs, Divisional round championship, didn't make the playoffs?
Are you assuming all the players are like, yeah, I'm
home in If it's making news that he's probably gonna watch,
then most people would assume that there's a lot of
bitter players who didn't make it that don't watch, because
why would this be news otherwise? I heard my dude
debo in the forty nine ers Deebo Samuel said, Yo,

(16:38):
I hate the Chiefs, and I have plenty of good reason.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
They beat me in the Super Bowl twice.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
So we have other examples of things that you do
or maybe don't do. In regards to as Janiel Daniel
Jayden Daniel's update pat Riley that guy is gonna be
wearing his Travis Kelce jersey listening to Taylor Swift on
the way to the stadium so maybe that's why they're
going to go at three chief. I was no sense

(17:04):
at all. Does chief Pete fall under that? Like, is
anything dash pete? But you heard when they won in
their transfer the chief pete the three chief chief pete
three fumbling first of all three chief makes no sense whatsoever?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Not the first time. Yeah, but chief pete? That is
that a loophole or what? I don't know?

Speaker 7 (17:24):
Is it better than six burg six when the Steelers
when they're six, they called it the six.

Speaker 12 (17:30):
Trademarking, it depends on the trademark rules, and trademarking can
be like very loose depending on the interpretation. So like
the dash pete might be part of the trademark, it
might not. Like any iteration of three peat may not
be able to be used without some sort of licensing issue.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Well, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Pat Riley owns multiple trademarks of the phrase three peat.
The letter the word three pete three pete spelled different ways.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
He he has it covered. Chief pete might not follow out.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, yeah, it says the three you're right rich three
p t h r ee three pete together with no
hyphen and then the number three for three P.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, legend has it that the Los Angeles Lakers guard
Byron Scott was the first person to ever say, yo,
let's go for the three peat back in the eighties
Lakers days, which became the motto of the eighty eight
eighty nine Lakers their quest for three in a row. Riley,
head coach at the time, said hold on, I want
a trademark that and.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Goes on the trademarket.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Church Jackets had jewelry, mugs, posters, everything is sold over
the last thirty years.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I know who reaps all the benefits.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Riley would like an organization like the Chiefs avoid using
that terminology thing because it is owned by or would
they like buy would they pay pat Riley to be
able to use that works.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I would just roll a chief peep.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
It sounds ray, but it makes no sense. But if
you avoid the money, I mean Yanks chief piece sounds right.
When the Yankees won three in a row, chief makes
no sense, yo. When the Yankees won three in a
roun in the nineties, ninety eight, ninety nine, two thousand,
they did not avoid saying three people, No baby, Riley
got paid.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I never thought about it. Can you say it?

Speaker 5 (19:09):
But you can't put it on a shirt like can
you say it?

Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's like camera, It's like, Michael Buffer, don't do it.
Don't do it. He gave me posistionion. No, I don't care.
He did well you couldn't do. Don't get your figure
off that dumb button.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
We hung out with Michael Buffer at a Super Bowl
a couple of years ago. You know, I know where
you're getting at, and I go, could I say it?
He's like, go ahead, you could say to him in
that room, but don't say it here.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's scared listening. Now you got me scared, Sam, They're
always listening.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Let's take one quick phone call talking about like random
remedies for your problems, your illness. What are these random solutions?
And then we got to talk Jayden Daniels YEP eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
We got DJ DJ Different. What's up?

Speaker 11 (19:56):
Hey, Hey, you got to thank you for taking my call.
Look here, I took up ballet back in the day,
and also when Lence Swan did ballet dancers to help
you keep the balance. And now tell my ballplayers to
do it, and I say, I think of weird or quirky.
But one ball player made the big difference. In his
game and they copied off his teammates.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
So that's a great that's a great example.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Like honestly, Lynn Swan taking ballet, which was the let's
be honest like back in the day, like you said, ballet, guys,
it was a foofye ballet. No, it's a very common one. Again,
a weird solution to make that improvement. Vasili Lomachenko, one
of the pound four pound greats, credits his amazing footwork
in the ring to dancing. So you know, you hear

(20:42):
these things all the time, but thanks again. You want
to chime in hit us at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio. Now, Jaden Daniels says he's probably gonna
watch the super Bowl probably. You assume, like, why wouldn't
you watch the super Bowl? Probably, But he was on
to explain that he's not bitter about it. Says he's

(21:05):
gonna watch despite the feeling of being sick after the loss.
So he says, I'm not a bitter individual. I'll probably
tune in, which which would have you not imply that
most of the losers that didn't get there don't watch
because they're bitter and it upsets them.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, that's that hair.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, listen, if you lose a game the way the
Bills lost, man Josh Owen had the first down kind
of you know, three point game for the fourth time.
The damn Chiefs keep getting their way. That's one thing
when you're the Washington Commanders and you way overplayed your

(21:44):
whole season. Yeah, but they really underplayed that game. The
game you're playing with house money. None even expected you there.
It's a great foundation to build on. Definitely, you lost
by thirty.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Can you really be bitter again?

Speaker 1 (21:57):
This is not this is not a man a couple
and a couple bad plays.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh, then he dropped the ball.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
There's nothing close about that Eagles Commanders game, which I would.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Have been closer than it turn it over three times now, but.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I think that makes it easier half close to say
I could still watch right.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Actually, no, the first half wasn't closed. It was twenty
seven to twelve, and then they kind of made it
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
They were slop.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, so Excess is probably going to watch and it
makes me think of so many different things, like you
always hear actors who just are exposing themselves more and
more all the time, and how weird they are and
how weird Hollywood is, actors often say, and it makes
me roll my eyes and it makes me want to
karate kick them by the way that they don't watch
their projects. I've never seen it, you've never seen it.

(22:41):
Let me punch you in the face.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
It does.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
It makes me feel that way. I don't watch the movie.
I don't want you know.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
In fact, I don't even have a TV. Come here,
let me smack you. Come here now, let me strangle you.
It's annoying. Things like that bother you. And it makes
me think of this too. For him to say he's
probably going to watch it just in sinuates again, there's
a lot of pain for a lot of players, right.
It hurts them to watch because they're all playing for
the same goal to make it there, but they didn't.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
So there's that feeling.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
It's kind of like, do you follow or do you
watch what your ex is up to on social media?

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Do you do those things? Or is it too pain
or is it too painful?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I've heard retired athletes say, once I was done with
the game, I almost I don't want to miss credit this,
but I feel like it was Jim mcmahonish someone that's
like yeah, I don't watch anymore. Like someone we interviewed,
I'm like, really, really, didn't your mom not want to
see or go back to her old town or see
the old house that she grew up in because it
was too painful?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah? I thought I was.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I thought I was doing something nice. Danny and I
took pictures of my mother's childhood house and found all
these old home videos from my mom's childhood and I
put them together as a like a surprise Christmas gift.
I thought I was gonna be the greatest son on
planet Earth. My mom was like, cried, why would you
do that? I could see the videos being hard to watch.

(24:02):
I can't see that. Some people have to move forward.
But again, athletes, x's old jobs. Like listen, if you
worked at a company or better, let's say you worked
at Netflix when you got fired. Are you like if Netflix,
I'm not subscribing, or are you like, well that's still Netflix.
That's a good one. Yeah, that's another good one. Often

(24:25):
I Hey, we worked at ESPN. I still tune in
at night to see what SVP's up to, right, Like
I have not.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
It's too painful, That's what I mean. Like is it
case by case. I have a question. You worked at
Serious XM doing the rock music stuff for twenty years
since you were twenty something. Yeah, if and when that day,
hopefully he doesn't, hopefully you keep working there. But let's
say down the line they're like, yeah, Covina later, are
you gonna be like, oh my? You know, I guess
it all depends on how it ends, and maybe Jaden

(24:55):
Daniels is feeling how you described. It's like, you know what, man,
there's so much positive to build off of. It ended
when it was supposed to that maybe it'd be foolish
for me to not watch. We're not asking Jane Daniels
said that he's probably gonna watch the super Bowl because

(25:15):
he's not a bitter guy. Here's what would make sense
to me. If you ask Jade Daniels to go back
and watch the game he lost. I could see him
not wanting to watch that, right, Like, Hey, here's your
worst performance. Would you want to see that in life,
at work, in the bedroom. No, no one wants to
see that or really of that. That's not what you're

(25:37):
asking these players to do. You're saying, hey, watch the
super Bowl, which is a national holiday at this point almost,
which is the sport you built your life around.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, you didn't make it. But what a sports bak
I have to beat to not watch? Could I ask you? Arguably? Yeah,
the lamest question that has to do like analogy. But
you see my difference there.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yes, we're not saying, hey, watch your worst performance. We're saying,
watch two teams go for the game for the Super
Bowl something you were after it? Yes, but it's almost
like the season continued. So here's my lamest analogy.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Sure, if you were on the Bachelorette okay, and the
girls like.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Sorry, Steve, you don't get a rose? Are you? Do
you want to watch the season after you to see
who she chooses.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yes, you'd have to be the biggest baby in the
world to be like, well, I'm not watching.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
In fact, Bacheler just started this week new season, right.
I always love the first week because it's corny and
cringy as hell, Like, I'm Jess the guy from Idaho.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
I brought you a potato drama. I brought you a
potato rub it on your ward? I just how are
you such a football lover? Where again, you built your
whole life around it? And now you're not going to
watch the biggest game of the year, something you were
playing for. But it's just so weird to me.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
There's one person I'm giving a free pat too, who
Josh Allen. Why if Josh Allen's like, I can't stomach
it because this guy beat him four times in the postseason.
Oh okay, Yeah, I see what you're saying. Like Jayden Davi,
he hates the sight of Patrick.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Mahone, But you got to face your fear. Yeah, what
do you think about that?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
I mean, because clearly there's a lot of players in
the NFL they're like, I'm not watching because they're so
bitter that they didn't they didn't make it. Do you
commend the fact that they're so passionate that they just
can't or do you think that's baby talk?

Speaker 2 (27:28):
It is. I wouldn't want to run from it. I
would want to face it head on.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know, the World Series, you guys battled it out.
Danny's Yank, Danny's Dodgers, Cavino Yankees.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I'm a Mets fan. I watched.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I mean, I know I'm a fan, but I'm saying,
sometimes fans will check out my team's out of it.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
I'm out of it sports baby mentality. That's how I feel.
I'm down. Let's say what's up to Brian in Ohio?
What's up Brian Kevino.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
On Rich Hey, what's up? Guys? Hey man, I got
three names on the free peat. Maybe saying back to
back to back. You don't have to pay Pat.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
It's worthy, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
When I was in school, we went to the state
championship in football. We lost, and I didn't really want
to watch football for a while after that, you know
what I mean. So I kind of get James Daniels
kind of being checked.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Out and exhausted.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
It just reminds you of, you know, painful memories James
and Virginia. Your thoughts, Man, would you assume that NFL
players collectively all watch a Super Bowl with their friends
and family?

Speaker 8 (28:28):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (28:29):
Thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. Happy Wednesday, Man, Sanders.
I appreciate it, man, you know, for me Man as
a commanders man, I think it's great, man, because just
how you got to speak things into fruition. Sometimes you
gotta visualize things into fruition, and watching the game seems
like a great way to imagine what it would be
like for you to be there if you're playing. Now,

(28:50):
going to the game would be a different story. I
think it would be crazy to go as a player
if you're not in the game. But one last thing, man, Rich,
I got to take a little humbridge with you, man,
because I think that Washington game against the Eagles was
a little bit closer. And I'll give you two plays, man,
the fourth and five when it's fourteen to twelve, they're
the holdings, you know what I mean, And then at

(29:12):
the end of the third quarter to Austar Exma Pumble.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
So, dude, listen, the game was closer than thirty points.
But I think Washington should just be very proud of
where they are. It's like, so when your team comes
from the expected.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
That team from the Commander, you get the NFC championship
game when.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
You're four and thirteen, and then go to the championship
game and you got a young quarterback that you know
you could trust moving forward. I don't think Commander's fans
are very upset right now. I think they're very optimistic.
So you gotta look at it that way.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Now, we got.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Midweek Major with spot More NFL and the latest in
the NBA, Adam Silver with an idea.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
We want your thoughts next.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Your ex girlfriend an ex wife's social media account?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Do you look? I know I don't, but some people do.
Some people do.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
He doesn't mind watching the Super Bowl, implying that a
lot of people don't want to want watch it. What
about actors who don't watch their projects? I've never seen
it with your thoughts on that. I saw a real
cool video of Ray Ramano. I'm sorry only do it
by a rare Romano.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
That's a great impression by the one.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's got a close your nose. Yeah, hey, it's me
Ray Romano, who I loved on obviously Everybody Loves Raymond.
I loved him on that Netflix show. I'm drawing a
blank on the name of it spot. Can you please
tell me Ray Ramono Netflix, Lisa Kudro.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think it's called the schnaz Sna.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
But that was a no good deed. I believe, no
good deed. Yeah, I guess I was thinking of another show.
But Ray Ramano recently said he went back and watched
every episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and he he he's
like I got time on my hands these days, and
he rated each episode.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Like, oh, that was a really good one. Oh, that
one's sort of stunk, Like he went back and he
has like a chart. Yeah, that's what I'm doing these days.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Funny I saw recently have Zoe b Chanel saying that
she's never seen the movie because someone asked her, like
it was around the holidays, like.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Do you watch ELF every year? She's like, actually, I've
never seen as. Give me a break, Mark. Come on,
come on, you're really missing out.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
After the super Bowl, when you guys get a few
days off, I want you to pull a Ray Romano
and rate every podcast I've ever published.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Danny, I'll tell you what I actually do. Listen a lot.
I don't mind.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
You could post our podcast and insert me saying like
I am Rich Davis and I am a huge weenie
and I wouldn't even know because I lived it, so
you can make fun of me.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I don't go back.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
That's not out of bitterness, now, that's out of like
I lived it right right, that's the pee Wee Herman theory.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
So because he didn't watch his big adventure, he lived it. Yeah,
lived it. Let's take your phone calls in this hour.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
We got Midweek major the biggest stories in the world
of sports and pop culture, and we still got to
talk NBA. Adam Silver, he said some interesting stuff here
on the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
So how about this?

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Phone calls will hit up the Adam Silver story and
then Spot's got midwek.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Maker and we'll do that, all right, Dwayne, what's up? Dwayne? Odessa?
You're on a coveno on Retchay, Buddy.

Speaker 8 (32:05):
Hey, guys, I have to admit I'm probably the biggest
sports baby. After my team is out of the NFL,
I shut it down till August. Get to admit it.
But that's just the way it goes.

Speaker 9 (32:17):
I haven't watched a Super Bowl in probably twenty five
years old.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Must be a coup. Let's figure it out twenty five
years Odessa.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I he is a huge fan of the Tennessee Titans
or the Giant.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
That's so weird because he's from a huge football town
er Meian Panthers. Baby, But you don't want you don't
watch the biggest game, Dwayne. Are you a Cowboys fan?

Speaker 1 (32:37):
No?

Speaker 8 (32:37):
I'm not at all.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Who's your team?

Speaker 8 (32:40):
Yeah, I'm a Vikings fan.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
I appreciate your honest sportared history, right, but I just
I just can't wrap my head around that like how big.
It's like, you're a great guy. I'm not judging you
for me. For me, it feels very baby. I mean
we are in a group chat Covino now with some
of our our pals.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, and our buddy Mike.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
In Kentucky, who he has his take of Like he's
so like he's the guy that's fed up with Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelsey and he's like, oh the triefs.
He's like, I'm not watching the super Bowl. Everyone on
this group Threat is busting his ball. He's like, what
do you mean you're not watching the super Bowl. It's like,
maybe I'll take my kids bowling. I'm like, stop being
a loser. Watch the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
You're not on the team. What do you do?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's even weaker so they could show Taylor Swift the
whole time. I'm like, why do you care so much?

Speaker 2 (33:27):
You don't have to be clued into it, but like
to ignore it. It's odd.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
However, if if you're a man, I was gonna say,
if you're a woman, that would have been sexist. If
you're a woman or a man that doesn't like football,
I do hear it is a great day to go
to a theme park. I've heard like Disney World, Disneyland Universe.
So like, if you really are that like apathetic, I
don't give a crap, that is a good day to
hit that up.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Makes sense? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Uh, Richard in Florida, what's up, buddy boy?

Speaker 13 (33:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (33:56):
Man, I know what it's like to sit there and be,
you know, right there before the Super Bowl when those
guys lose, and they lose and look like they've been
lost their dog. You just made a super Bowl, you
just finished second in the US Open, you just won
three million dollars, but you lost. I was in a
World Series of Poker, won half million dollars, very thrilled,

(34:17):
very happy, very well adjusted, twelve million dollars first flies.
But to be within, to be within two tables of
the bracelet, to be sitting there with a bracelet that day,
it was like I'd lost my dog. So I totally
get it. But jayde Daniels, you lose by thirty, You're okay, Yeah,
sit there and you're Josh Allen and you lose that.

Speaker 11 (34:36):
I mean, I don't know how you get up in
the morning. Now.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Of course, Richard, I feel you one hundred percent of
that As a Niners fan. I watched Receiver on Netflix
and they go through the emotions of Debo and Kittle
because those are two of the receivers they followed, and
you could see when you lose the Super Bowl in overtime,
you kick a field goal, but the other team responds
with a touchdown. You can't get closer to winning a

(35:00):
Super Bowl. You were in the red zone. I settle
for a field goal.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
It's a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I like having these conversations because it does make you
explore and I am understanding a little more why it's
so hard, and I get it. You're not supposed to
like it because you didn't make it. And then I
started thinking based on what he said just now, and
it was a great call. Thank you you think Eric
Stultz Ever sat there and watched back to the Future
and said to himself, you know, Michael J. Fox did

(35:25):
a really great job. I'm happy he got It's a
good question.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I know.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Like so I can see that, like when you come
so close to getting something great, it is kind of
hard to find the joy in the project or game
that went on without you.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, were rich artists who pass up on songs and
another artist as a huge Mungus hit with that song.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Can they ever hear that song and can not be mad?

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:46):
A lot of times I feel what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
A lot of times. If they are successful on their own,
they have the ability to say, eh, what are you
gonna do? But if they don't have success, I heard
too recently. I mean we all know that it wasn't
a Prince who gave nothing compares to you to Sinead o'connam, Yeah,
because he thought man who knew and ended up being
as bigger, bigger than most of Prince's singles.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
I heard recently Britney Spears.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
And her team said now we don't want this song,
it's trash, and they gave it to Rihanna. That song
is Umbrella. Yeah, that was supposed to be a party Spars.
Do you think Amanda Seyfried watched Wicked? Because she was
very close to getting that arian Like, do you think
she watched it?

Speaker 2 (36:28):
I was like, you know, she really did a great job.
Or is there you see those things on TikTok? I
recently saw all.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
The so maybe I gotta look at it from that perspective.
If you had a good team and it bothers you,
maybe you can understand why they don't.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
They don't watch, but I mean, it's funny. You should.
You'd be shocked.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
I mean, I know it's a random movie, but I
believe it was just celebrated its twentieth anniversary last year
Mean Girls. I just saw one of those TikTok clips
of all the young hot actresses at the time that
were auditioning, and they were all big names, and even
the dude, the dude that got the role in Mean Girls,
who I don't really even know who that was A

(37:07):
listers were lining up for those roles. So it is interesting,
very similar to be an actor who passed on a
role or just came so close. It's sort of like
an athlete getting to the championship and losing, Like do
you really want to live it?

Speaker 4 (37:20):
All?

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Right, We'll take one more phone call on again. The
story was Jade, and Daniels said today that he's not bitter.
He was sick to his stomach when they lost. Not
bitter is probably going to watch the Super Bowl. So
I thought was like, well, why wouldn't you? But I
guess we're kind of explaining why Jake got You don't
have to agree with it, but at least we got
to the bottom of it.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
What's up, Jake fort.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Lodo deal, Hey, it was going on, fellows.

Speaker 15 (37:42):
A big fan of you ors just stumbled on to
you guys recently driving around here in South Florida.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Thanks man, love the show Man.

Speaker 15 (37:48):
You guys are awesome. Two quick things. As a Cowboys fan,
I will definitely be hate watching and Rudy Piefs and
all the twisties out there. Unfortunately, I know a lot
of people don't want to hear that, but it's just
the way it is, you know, as a Cowboys fan,
it's just that there's no way I can look for
the Eagles. Yeah. And also going back to the previous

(38:08):
tech and you guys came out with the Crows and Remedy,
and one of you guys mentioned that was it on
Shaker money Maker. That is actually off of the second album,
Southern Harmony and Musical Companions. And I just say this
to say, if you guys are CROs fans or not,
I've seen them a few times. I've never seen a
band sound better live than they do on a record.
If you've never seen them live, do yourself, davor and

(38:30):
check them out.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Jake, you're not the first to say that. I've heard
many of rock fans say Black Crows are one of those, like, yo,
if you could see them live, even unreal if you
listen to Hard to Handle. There's two versions of it.
There's the album version and then there's a live version
with the horn section, and you're like, man, that live
version is so much better than the regular asse. Yeah,

(38:51):
there's a horn version of that song that's way more
powerful and cool.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
And their band has history on this time slot right
here on the network. It's Steve Gorman, their drummer used
to be on the air talking sports.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
He unfortunately is not their drummer anywhere.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Kind of cool pushed him out, but yes, Steve Gorman, very.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Well, thanks for the yeah, and they're a great, great band.
Thank you Jake for the call. Thank you guys for
hanging out with us, Fox Sports Radio. And by the way,
speaking of the Super Bowl, do you guys have plans
you guys were doing a party in my place or
what do you do?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
You have super Bowl plans? Not yet?

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I mean we're gonna be there for the whole week,
obviously broadcasting the actual game. I don't know, going to
Magic Mountain, Yeah, man, I am going to go to
a notts very farm now that you mention, yes, come,
we'll see you.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Make on that.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
I hit Disney with spot make your strum bold, drop
it off it and go well together.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Want to be on Space Mountain?

Speaker 6 (39:45):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
It's actually you know what, It's not a terrible idea,
but I can never miss the super Bowl. That sounds ridiculous, right,
Let's uh, let's shift our attention one second to the
NBA only because listen, if you if you've if you
ask me personally, what am I interested in? It's like football, football, football,
Baseball's coming, Baseball's coming, football, football, baseball.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oh yeah, you've been talking a lot about shrinking about that.
And so Rick moranis over here.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
No, no, no, not not honey kids.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Although he does talk about all those He loves that
movie too huge, Rick Moranas fan, did you know that?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I mean, who is not? Who isn't exactly? But let
me tell you.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
I see you guys, you feed into my add and
then you blame me when.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
I go on a tangent. So f you all.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
I watched Honey as Shunk the Kids a couple months
ago with my children. You know, we always talk about
what movies stand the test of time. Back to the Future, Goonies,
you know, there's always those Home Alone. There's movies that
are any generational love my kids loved Honey, I Shunk
to kids.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
You forget it's like an hour and forty minutes. Rick
moranis remember There in the Grass with the Ant. People
forgot about that one.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
They made all the sets by hand, and I've seen
some behind the scenes from that movie.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
It is incredible these so it really is.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Danny g you're still mad at them for replacing Captain
EO to Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Dan Bayer, you guys both have little kids when they're
a little older.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
It really does hold up. But to the NBA, now,
HONEYT shrunk the kids?

Speaker 2 (41:17):
What's up? Brick Moranus, Adam Silver.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
I credit this guy because he is trying to figure
out solutions to the NBA losing videowership. Like he's not
just sitting on his hands. Seems proactive and open to suggestions,
and that's really cool.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
I think that's all you really want.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
And he's open to good conversations. I've heard among Colin
and Dan Patrick. Listen, it's not easy as just saying,
move the three point one, do this, do that. It's
this is a like if you're going to make a
change to something, it has to be completely thought out
while pros and cons and what we'll do.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
And there's the latest one. Take a listen, Adam, CBIA.

Speaker 13 (42:01):
Is the only league that plays forty eight minutes. I
am a fan of four ten minute quarters. Putting inside
what it means for records and things like that, I
think that a two hour format for a game is
more consistent with sort of modern television habitat.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
So two hours, not two and a half hours. That
was on our pal Dan Patrick this morning. I don't
I just wonder if that solves anything. Take away two
minutes of a quarter. I know you're saying too, I
think it helps. I think he's onto something there. Again,
the question is would the NBA benefit from shorter games.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
But two minutes a quarter?

Speaker 1 (42:37):
You know too, I think a lot of these sports,
and we've seen it in baseball work would benefit according
to today's attention span. I mean, so, I know a
fourth quarter two minutes is like when your wife says,
I'll be ready in two minutes. Yeah, but don't you
judge what movies you're gonna watch based on the length
of time I do.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
I'll take a look at it. How long is it?
I don't know if I'm in the mood for that.
I'll be honest.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
I need it around one thirty to one, like forty eight,
you know. Anything more than that, I'm like, yeah, I'll
be honest. I YouTube clip and it's more than ten minutes.
I'm like, yeah, that's gonna be rough. Kevino's right about
the movies. If my wife and I saw a Wicked
in the theater with my daughter, my wife still doesn't
seen it. And every night, when it's like ten o'clock

(43:19):
and the kids are sleeping, I'm like, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Just find the way.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
I can't even believe that, for as much as you
talk about that movie, your wife hasn't seen it.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
I took my daughter with her, like palate, I can't
it's streaming on TV, though, I can't believe she still
doesn't see it.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Well because every night, my point is, it goes to
what you're saying, it's two hours in like fifty minutes.
So when my kids finally fall asleep and they're done.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Saying, mom, dad, I need water, what about to watch
a quick forty eight minute episode or something.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yeah, when when when ten o'clock hits and the mic,
you know, pop an edible time watching it, we go
to bed. You think two hours and fifteen minutes a
wicket on a weeknight, it's gonna work.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
You're right, And that's the thinking behind it. So and
I get what Rich is saying.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
To Rich is saying, yeah, but it's that gonna solve
the I think it solves one of the problems. I
don't think that changes everything. That's just part of it.
But at least he's open to the games are one
hundred to eighty eight instead of one fifteen to one hundred.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
I mean, think about some boxing matches where at the
start there's that feeling out before the either boxer really
starts to throw their punches. Some NBA games can lag
a little bit in the first quarter because the teams
are just kind of feeling each other out. There's some
sloppy beginnings sometimes. I think with this the beginning of
each quarter, you'd have to come in a little more focused.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
I know, I know, I kind of like it to
go with your analogy.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
When we watched Mike Tyson, Jake Paul Now, I know
that wasn't a legitimate like like regular fight, two minute rounds,
you say they should get Rosie Perez, But those that
help didn't say that quick. Those quick rounds what was it,
two minutes? Round eight rounds eight?

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Eight two minute rounds, yeah, eight, yeah, those fault two
short yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
The eight two minute rounds did feel like, oh geez,
we're already ending the rounds.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
I mean, listen, I'm not you know me, I'm never
the guy that's like stupid idea because I always go
by it.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
But again, you're coming from that.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Older guy perspective, right, young people, yeah, very slightly older.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I'm middle aged, grown man.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
The NBA's in the business age of getting new fans
and younger people and next generation, and I would say
their opinion matters a lot. And I wonder how they
felt about the rounds and the Tyson fight. You know,
their attention span is non existent, so what may seem

(45:33):
a little too quick to us might be right on
target for most people. You're younger, Are you trying to
say what might be right for you may not be
right for some.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Something like that, different strokes for different phone. What's up?
I watched an episode the other night.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
Arnold was having bad dreams because he was worried that
mister Drummond was gonna be injured.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
There it was the whole deal. At least it wasn't
the Dudley Bike Shop. Oh that's the worst. I was
to say that.

Speaker 7 (46:00):
One of the things that when you play video games,
you always had to adjust early on on how long
your quarters should be for like a football game, because
you wanted realistic stats, but you can't play a fifteen
minute quarter because it's just way too much, and then
then the game's altered with it. I remember when Little
League Baseball came out on Nintendo and I'm playing my
buddy and it's a six inning game. Amazing because every

(46:25):
it wasn't elongate into a nine inning on RBI or whatever.
When it was six innings, it was great. And that
sense of urgency just to shorten anything, I think is
pretty valuable. And if this would do it, then buy
all means.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
And it was the same thing with baseball and everything
else is affecting the stats moving forward. And he addressed
that on the Dan Patrick Show, and honestly, as Gary
Vaynerchuk said, and we quote him, all the time, innovate
or die. Let's leave this guy plenty of time. It's
time for spot and Midweek Major.

Speaker 16 (47:03):
Coveno and Rich get you over the middle of the
week when mid Week Major, I love that we throw
sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas,
and it's like the kids.

Speaker 15 (47:16):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 9 (47:18):
We definitely leader.

Speaker 16 (47:20):
See it our scoring mid Week Major.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Can we give Spotty at least eight minutes?

Speaker 11 (47:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Wow, we're gonna say time.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
But something that's never been done on in Week Major.
I just frold the twelve, so he's.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Not gonna go Wow. Just hold on, buddy, You're not
gonna meet me. Not even worth this. You just mix it,
just give up, just give out. I rolled the twelve.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Three referees gave that dice. Some refs gave that dice
to Coveno. Speaking of all right, and now, ladies and gentlemen,
the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch plains
New Jersey, Spotty boy.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
All the hot takes. All right, you just said the reps. Dang,
thanks for the jump off, as the chief said to
New Orleans.

Speaker 12 (48:01):
The narrative continues that the refs are always lean in
favor of the chiefs Well. Dean Blandino, former NFL head
of officiating, has said that the narrative is absolutely preposterous.
Blendino actually is on our team. Fox Sports analyst oversaw
the refs from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen, and he
said that there's absolutely no word from Roger Goodell about

(48:21):
this narrative or this script. He said, if there's a
room somewhere at the NFL offices where they're writing the script,
they never invited me, and I was the head of officiating,
I feel like I'd be a pretty important contributor to that.
He didn't meet that admit that teams sometimes do get
breaks and things lean in their favor, but there's no
script at all.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Midwiker Major.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
I think it's major because it's a stupid story that's
always discussed.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
It always comes up after a big game.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
People really seem to believe it, and we often say,
if they're innocent, scream it from the mountain.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Listen, this is weak. Why is it weak?

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Blandino even has to say this, Yeah, Gladiator, he has
to say it's not scripted.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Are you a bird brain? You would think it's scripted?

Speaker 1 (49:08):
How many people save your hand up your ass, you
know I mean, and by the way, he says, it's preposterous,
but it's not impossible.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
As we discussed yesterday, it happened in the NBA. Fixes
happened in the NBA. Don't I don't think there's a script.
I don't think there's you know, I don't think it's uh,
you know, all rigged.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
But teams do get good calls, and the Chiefs have
got good calls. Yet there's guys like Nick right on
FS one where it was like the stat show that
in fact, the Chiefs get less calls, like you could
you know, you could make an angle anyway you on.
Not in the playoffs, though, Rich, look at the stat
I just sent you. He just sent this a stat
in playoff games since twenty twenty one, the Chiefs have

(49:47):
had zero games with more penalties than their opponents. Zero
ten games where the other team has had more penalties.
You could say discipline, or you could say mahomes hangs
with the Chiefs like all the meme says. So maybe
it's not scripted, but as we suspect, it calls go
certain teams ways because I only have like two more

(50:09):
weeks of Kelsey and the Swift News.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Let me work it all in now, ye.

Speaker 12 (50:13):
So first, apparently Taylor Swift huge fan of our boyfriend,
not only on the field but off the field.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Apparently she listens to the New Heights podcast. Did you
know that?

Speaker 12 (50:23):
Were you waiting to hear that? Kelsey Brothers shared? The
Kelsey Brothers shared the big news this week. Apparently one
of their interns ran into Swift, and Swift had nothing
but glowing reviews about the podcast as she listens every
week as a huge fan, loves it, and the interns
were really thrilled that she listens.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
And gave them compliments. So we'll point on this midwek
or maybe oh, I think it's it's a mid story.
Here's why I would assume she did. If she loves
Travis the way you assume she does, why don't you
support the things that they're into it? I know she's
busier than most, but you don't think Rich's wife and
my girlfriend listened to the show pretty much every day?

Speaker 2 (51:01):
They do? Yeah, this my mom listens every day week major?
Can one of the answers be stupid?

Speaker 1 (51:08):
When you care about somebody, you you pay attention to
what they're up to do. We think she sits on
a throne of diamonds and just a laser all day.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Like, what's what I picture?

Speaker 1 (51:18):
What do we think that she doesn't listen to podcasts
and music and things. I think her her man has
a top rated podcast, You Shocked the tailor shift listens,
Danny G's wife listens here.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
And there my wife, what you were saying? Your girlfriend?
It happens. This is ridiculous next door? I picture like
talking to cats all day? Is that weird? All right?

Speaker 12 (51:38):
And more importantly, I know there's been speculation after this
Super Bowl they go for the Chief Pete if you
know three chief, the chreef, three chief, whatever you're calling it,
the chief, that this might be the end of Travis
Kelsey's chief's career. He may be calling it quits, and
that he may propose to his girlfriend. Where the odds
are in for that, and apparently at plus seven fifty odds,

(51:58):
people think that trave this may propose to Taylor, so
at plus seven to fifty odds, But on the other tip,
it's minus fifteen hundred that he will not propose to
Taylor at the end of the game.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
If the Chiefs Wain in the celebration. All the company's
coming down. So what do you think of those odds?
Mid Week or major? I think the storyline is major
because we've already established millions of people tuned in because
of a whole Taylor Swift Swifty Travis Kelcey romance.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
It's made millions of dollars for the NFL.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
I think it's major because if this were to happen,
that has to be the end of his career. I
think if he gets engaged in the Super Bowl, such
a cliche sort of thing, I don't want to see
him back after next year. It's kind of like, that's
a perfect way to just end this.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Is I'll say this is major because.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
If Travis Kelcey three peats with Mahomes and then proposes
to Taylor Swift, could we then say goodbye to this
chapter of our football popcas That's I think.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
That would be the perfect then lowers the door, like,
even if.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
You hate the Chiefs, if I told you the Chiefs
winning means Travis proposes, they get married and you never
have to hear about it again.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Would we sign up for this? That's kind of what
I was getting at.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
I was trying to be nice about it, Like, I
think that's just a perfect way to end it.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
And we could say all right later on to.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
The next but I think Travis is too much of
a team player to take the focus off of the team.
So even though it's minus fifteen hundred, he's not gonna prepare.
I don't know the Sappy Ones and the Swifties would
eat this up.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I know they really were, but it's.

Speaker 12 (53:30):
Yeah, it's all celebration after that. You don't want to
distract from that. I agree, all right, we'll shift over
to MLB. I don't know if you saw this. So
Trevor Bauer, uh, I hold all right, was sup and
very loud on X this week, having a lot to
say about his skills on the mound, saying that they're
just as still just as good, if not better than anyone.

(53:52):
I claim that on a global scale, he is second
in popularity only the show. Hey Otani, that's that's how
popular he thinks he is. And he says that he
could I see. He said, there's only twenty players that
could possibly even twenty players in the world that could
even go up against him.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Everyone else just sucks. So Trevor Bauer is.

Speaker 12 (54:15):
Just going hard on Twitter saying, you know, still saying
that he could play in the league. He said he
would play for free, that he is worth is fifty million,
but he would absolutely gladly pay for free, and they're
just throwing that all away for a chance to take
Trevor Bauer midweek er major.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Mid Okay, he may not be guilty of everything, but
he's also not like the most innocent guy, and he
rubbed so many people the wrong way in his career
that you know, you reput you so elie in the bed.
He make all these things right, and I know he
didn't completely make his own bed, but he added to
it a little bit right, well, he does. I think
he's also big dreaming to think that he's second to

(54:51):
show Heltani. So that also makes it mid because I
could think of like four or five people off top
of my head that I bringer him, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Alonso,
I mean, so many big stars in the world.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
I think this is major.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
I think I think Trevor Bauer is a top ten
to fifteen starting pitcher in baseball.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
If he was allowed back in the league, which.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
He is allowed, no team's gonna take a chance, because
whether smoked this fire and whether he's innocent or not,
it's just it's too risky and rich. He was almost uh,
he's lights out wherever he plays. He was almost a
liability before these accusations and all that stuff because.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
No one liked him. Yeah, so all right.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
I don't know if they'll read the tweets on your
own time or the exes whatever they call them.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Thanks buddy, Yeah, thanks guy.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Thanks. The Trevor Bower story is a shame because he
is is. He's good, he is talented. Yeah, he really is.
