Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app b Surching the FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
The money these athletes make nowadays sounds like something a
boomer would say, right, the money.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
These athletes make nowadays?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
That just the headline's funny when you see the headline
that says forty nine ers lowball rock party, starting at
forty five million a year.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
And just think of that number, lowballing. That sounds just
about right.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Low balling at forty five million a year, that's a
low ball number. I guess when you think you're making
fifty to sixty with that, I think I'm.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Just saying that sounds fair, right. Oh. I agree.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
They'll probably give them more than that. But if anyone
thinks that's a lowball starting point, I'm gonna say, keep
in mind, it's called the negociation, right, So who in
any negotiations starts high. No, he's got to be a
little back and forth your boss doesn't say, here's all
the money we're wheeling out for you. You have to
negotiate for that, right, right, So I think it's a

(01:14):
fair starting point.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I don't think he's worth much more than that, especially
if you're on a nice team behind him. Well what
if my grandfather used to tell me about baseball cards,
and it applies to everything in life.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
They're worthless, switchy. No, No, They're only worth what someone's
willing to give you for them. Yeah, but Grandpa, how
they can think of the rated rookie is worth eighty
five dollars? All richie boy, who's going to give you
eighty five dollars?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well, no, I don't know, grandpa, but you'll see no one.
I'm just saying if the Niners Billy Ripkins the error card,
it's worth thirty five dollars, Grandpa said, with an infinity
on it. Oh, so with the baseball card theory, I
just look at it as well. Who's going to give

(02:01):
brock Purty more than forty five to fifty million dollars
a year? If you say the Niners say all right,
four years one eighty five, like a little more than
forty five year one, you know four years one ninety.
If he's between forty and fifty million dollars a year,
you don't think they can negotiate and settle on a
sweet fifty. That's like four years two hundo, a little

(02:24):
in between. He wants sixty, they want forty. They meet
in the middle of fifty. If brock Purty gets four
years two hundred, I think most people would be happy.
But you got to ask yourself if the niners don't.
It goes with dating, It goes to work, it goes
with baseball cards, it goes with everything in life. Your
only the market will dictate what you're worth. Right, You're

(02:47):
only worth what people are willing to pay. You'll you'll
think I'm the hottest commodity. Yeah, going to dating AP,
they'll tell you if you're a hot commodity. Go to
a bar. You'll see who hits on you. You'll see
who gives you their number, who trades DMS with you.
You're the market tells you, The dating world tells you.
Your boss will tell you, because if you don't like
what you're getting paid and you think you're worth more,

(03:08):
someone else will give it to you. But I got
to ask the question. Who's going to give Brock Party
fifty five sixty million dollars a year? If the Niners say, yeah,
we're not doing that, is some team gonna be like,
we desperately need Brock.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Listen, I love rock Party, but he's not Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
He's not Josh Allen or Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's not He's that next year.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Solid quarterback that's doing well for this team. Will that
translate on another team? That's the other risk that a
team would have to take, and that he would have
to take.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
You see that buyer.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I'd want to stay there at a sweet fifty, you
see anything as close as possible to fifty, just because
I know I fit.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
In here and I'm welcomed here.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
You see that clickbait stuff that's been going around the
last couple of days, Where are the Titans interested in
Rock Party? And I'm like, you know what if you
want to pay Brock Party, Yeah, but it's not always that.
I don't want to put ourselves in an awkward situation
rich because I would like to negotiate some day, But
you have to factor in, like, let's say someone offered

(04:08):
us more money, are they gonna still let us do
what we do. Are we gonna be as happy else?
There's so many other factors. Is he gonna shine as
bright somewhere else and fit into the system the way
he does in San Francisco. These are things he needs
to keep in mind. It's not always about chasing the bag,
because he can go to Tennessee or somewhere else and
stink it up and his career's down the drain chasing

(04:30):
the bad. So many times it's like, dude, you're playing good,
you know, stay there. If you're happy and you're playing
well and they're being fair, that's the thing. And I
think sometimes that only comes with wisdom. Sure i'd want
to get paid more, but I would factor in. But
I'm very happy where I'm at, And like I said,
I want to get in our own way and then

(04:51):
have Fox Sports say, well, then here's this right now.
Don't show you don't play your don't show us your hand.
You don't want to show all your hand. But that's
the truth. If you're happy where you're at, you gotta
fact that into the equation. I'm not sure brock Perty
can go somewhere else and light it up, and with
all these big deals. You saw Max Crosby get paid yesterday,
Danny G. And the raider is nation very happy. There

(05:13):
is a layer where once you make a certain amount
of money and again, I'm not spending nothing bothers me
more when other people spend your money, like mentally like
you should do this, you should do this. When you say, ah,
why would the athlete take more money.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
To go there?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Listen, some people really are just about the money. But
when you're making forty to fifty sixty million dollars a year,
it's not like five million dollars more is going to
make you happy.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You have so much money.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Is there all those studies that show like once you
hit a certain level of wealth, you're not happier if
you make more than that. And ask Jim Carrey, your hero,
he always told a seeing the top of the mountain,
He's seeing the top of the mountain, and it's not
always cracked up to be like DANNYG brought up recently.
That was the Aaron Rodgers story. He won the super Ball.
That was his lifelong dream as a kid playing football

(06:04):
growing up. That was the goal. Once he got there
and won, it's like, all right, well, what else is
going to make me happy. An extra five million dollars
Rich is not going to make.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Brock Purty happier.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Him playing well, being embraced by the fans and the team.
That's where it's at. So you find a compromise, you
settle at. They're offering forty five a year, Yeah, anything
close to fifty. Take it the reality. If it was
a game ghetto, if it was like dealer, no, the
obviously take you dagg in. It seems obvious, right, But
when you think about how we talk about these big numbers,

(06:37):
put a perspective. Someone that makes give me a good
round number. You know, a guy that makes one hundred
thousand dollars doing a sales job. Okay, one hundred thousand dollars,
he would work twenty years to make two million dollars.
Put a perspective. You talk about someone someone makes half
a million dollars and they're you know, balling. You know,

(06:58):
they're the VP of their company making half a million dollars.
It would take them forty years to make twenty million dollars.
It's about fair, though, Rich, It's about fair or not.
Can't compare rock Party in his career in professional sports
to anyone else no fair, and it does.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
It sounds fair.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I know you're saying you can't compare, But what I'm
saying is one year of Rock Party making fifty million
dollars after taxes, agent fees, all that, Let's say he
comes away with twenty something mil. Twenty something million dollars
is probably ten times more than most people will make
in their whole life.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, sad.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
So with that said, happiness where you'll win, all these
other things have to play a role. And if Brock
Party is not a flashy guy and he's a humble guy,
let's say he buys a house in the Bay Area
or wherever he wants to live, a five to ten
million dollar house. He could pay paid in cash and
still be like, yeah, I'm good for the rest of
my life. No one's gonna say poor brock Party.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Look at him. He's not OnlyFans now, He's gonna be
just fine.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Also, a big part of your happiness for us, it's
our bosses and who we work for. In the NFL,
it's your coach, is coaching staff, especially your head coach,
your offensive coordinator in his case, you know, a defensive
coordinator for like Hendrickson, and in Cincy. If he leaves
and goes elsewhere, Okay, but are you going to get
along with the coaches the way you do in Cincinnati?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, coaches that believed in him and banked on him,
like Rock Party. I'm not saying he owes anything to
John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, but they certainly had his
back to get him to this point exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's all we we can move on to.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
But it's interesting because he's a very specific story though
too rich.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I just saw the headline as I walked in the studio.
This is not what I planned on starting with, but
I saw the headline. It said Rock Party getting lowballed,
And I'm like, when you tell me that this guy's
gonna probably end up with four years, a couple hundred
million dollars, that's the lowball. Like these guys are living
in a fantasy lowball. He was mister irrelevant. That's great,
This is this great story continues. That's amazing when you

(09:02):
talk about people winning the power ball. Yes, this is incredible.
This is the continuation of an incredible story. He's getting
what That's great. Take it, Brock, You're the man, and
Tom Brady historically has been known to be the guy
that takes a little less money for the greater good.
And look what it got him, more contracts, longevity, by

(09:24):
the way, championships. That's how you do it. You follow
the blueprint. There's not necessarily a blueprint in life, right,
but Tom Brady did leave a pretty nice blueprint on
how to win. And if that's how he did it,
and he's one of the goats, is brock Party better
than Tom Brady?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
In fact, I know so, so I would say that's
great footsteps to follow. Now, talking about the NFL, let's pivot, Pavot.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
You don't watch Friends. You never saw the you know
I know the reference. Though I'm not a bozone, give
you no. It's too busy getting booty. When everyone else
was watching Friends in the ninety I know they were
carrying a couch up the steps. What would he do?
I've seen it, Well, he do, I've seen it, Pimott.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Let's pivot to the bigger stories in the NFL, in
my opinion, which is all these superstars demanding trades or
asking their team like, y'all you gotta trade me. D Bo,
Samuel dk metcalf Trey Hendrickson.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
These are Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, these are big name guys.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
And you said in the NBA Jimmy Butler is the
new way in sports if you're a superstar, if you
just part of my language, if you just bitch and
complain enough, is that your way to get what you want? Like,
don't we teach our kids in the opposite Like like
that would be like telling your kid, like, stop crying
and I'll get your basket Robins, you want to go
to Coldstone Creamery, simmer down?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Like that's bad parenting. We're giving it to bad parenting.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Bitch and complain, My dad would say, bitch and moaning.
Is that is that the way? It's been the way
for a minute now? No, I don't think this is
anything new. It's a matter of do you give into
it or not? And the phrase of the years, could
I look at it this way? If they're a discontled employee, get.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Then beat it.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's like Aaron Judge recently said when asked about the
facial hair right, the facial hair change.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I heard he has a fou minchew. No is that true?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
He said he's choosing to not have facial hair, at
least for now. He does in the off season, but
he said, look, the greats before me did it that way.
In respect to them and the traditions, you know, I'm
fine with them. I'm cool with it, he said. But
if that was the determining factor of you wanting to
play here or not, then maybe.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
You shouldn't play here.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Like, if that's really what it means to you, Like,
then you're not thinking big picture of what it really
means to play for this team, then you don't want
to be on this team anyway. Even Johnny Damon said
that recently. He's like, yo, man, I loved my beard,
but I wanted to play for the Yankees. If you
really want to play for that team, you're not gonna
act this way. So as an owner who's paying you

(12:04):
ridiculous money, I would take the approach of, like, then
beat it. If you're on a relationship who's acting a
whole hum about you, it's like, I know it's it's
easier said than done, but it's like, well, if you
don't want to be with me, I want to be
with someone that wants to be with me, So then
go in and see if the grass is greener. And
that's what these owners are doing. And I'm glad it's
not a matter of them giving in. It's a matter

(12:25):
of them saying.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
No, beat it. I get out of my face. I
see what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
But I know we've always heard the phrase squeaky wheel
gets the oil that goes back generations, right, Like, YO,
complain enough that you know you'll get attention.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I hate it, Richard, but it's true. I know what
you're saying.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
You're saying, Yo, you don't want to be in this
marriage or relationship, or you don't want to be at
this company, or you don't want to be part of
this radio show or TV show. If you don't want
to be here, get out.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
There's the door. But that's the reality. There's contracts, Dude,
like a guy.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
If you're telling me, DK Metcalf just is like, yeah,
I'm sort of done. Okay, heres dictate this Fox Sports
Radio Nation. If you're a small business owner, pretend you are.
If you're not, you have a disgruntled employee. He can't
be replaced.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Beat it.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
You want that guy working for your company when you're
trying to put a good product out there. That's really
what this is on a grander scale contract or not.
If this guy's unhappy, he's not producing for you. You
want a sour Jimmy Butler in your locker room bringing
down the vibe of everybody. I know it's sad to say, well,
then that player wins because they pout and they get
what they want. But is that what you want as

(13:34):
an owner? How would you handle it then? Because I
would be like, then then get go go. You know what,
what everything you're saying, hope that karma gets that. I
don't disagree with you, I know, I just think he's
supposed to. It sucks because what you're saying is if
you're a big enough star, pout and get what you want,
and then just what I agree you're saying, if you're

(13:55):
I look at it as I'm hoping the other owners
see the attitude and the character this person has, because
what do you think that guy is going to change
all of a sudden because he's somewhere else. No, because
eventually he's gonna get to another place and pout again
and then pad again. That's just the way someone is
at that point. So they're basically advertising like, Hey, I'm
I'm a problem person. I'm problematic. I'm really they're holding

(14:17):
up some difficult I'm not being a sour forty nine
er scent, but I have said to you guys, what
did I say all last year? I said, yeah, I
love Deebo, but it seems like he's his vibes are
are off.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I said all.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Last year, I said, Deebo doesn't have that smile. He's
not But then you.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Threw him a pass on our super Bowl stage. Yeah,
but you don't know what. We're downplaying all that. I
was the reason. I was like, you know what, I
know this guy.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
There's a reason that we Covino and Rich have some longevity.
It's not because we're the greatest broadcaster. I like to
think that, hey, we're entertaining, right, but we're easy to
work with. I think that's very undermined and downplayed in
life and in sports. You know these guys. There's so
many players that were great, but they were difficult. Terrell

(15:01):
Owens comes to mind. He could have still played. He
just was a headache. After a while, people stop wanting
to work with you. I know people in my life
that are super talented, but guess what, they're not working
and they're not finding jobs. You know why the foot gold.
So as an owner, you've had enough of this guy, right,
this this guy doesn't make or break your organization. Guess

(15:22):
what the Bengals go on with or without this dude, right,
And he's advertising he's difficult.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
So yes, someone else will pick him up, but he's
going to be difficult somewhere else. But COVI.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
You know what if a player does it respectfully, Like
we don't know how Hendrickson is handling this in Cincinnati,
maybe he went to the owner and the general manager
in a respectful way and said, yeah, that's different. Yeah
I did on, But he's not going through the media
and he's not pouting and he's not.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
But still, I don't want to play here. You're never
going to get the production out of that dude that
you're paying him for. Like I said, I hate to
bring it back to relationships. If they're a woman in
your life and I've been there, I've been through divorce
and everything else, and she's like, I don't want to
be here anymore. You're never going to get that production
out of her. If she doesn't want to be in

(16:10):
this relationship, that's not it's not a mutual.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Of respect at that point.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
You know, if you know a player on your team
or an employee of your company is out the minute
there contract or agreement is up, they got to be
in at mentally, and you're just short abiding time, Like
you know, that's why a lot of times contracts they'll
open up early and be like, yeah, you know what,
we'll buy you ad or get out of here, because
you're right, it's you know, like your senior year. How

(16:37):
towards the end you sort of give up. That's that's
the mindset too, when a contract's coming to an end
and you're like, yeah, I know, that's why it's more
than money, man, because these players in anything that you're
involved in, but these players particularly have to be drinking
the kool aid of whatever that team is. It's like
it's like, you know, who's done a great job of that.
Baker Mayfield, I don't know. He comes to mind and

(16:59):
me because whatever team he's on and what we've seen
him on four teams, you didn't see him drinking the
kool aid of these teams making the best of that situation.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Like that's what they have to do.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
But it's so money driven that it no longer becomes
about the team, it becomes about the money. But that's
the problem. So you want these players to really buy
into that organization. This is a tricky one and if
they're not beat it And this is where we get
your feedback. Next eight, seven, seven, nine, nine on Fox Debo,
DK Trey, Jimmy Butler NBA. When players, I hate the

(17:36):
word demand is strong. But when they demand the trade
or asked did the team, sometimes it's time to move
on Rich like danyg insinuated, that's fair. Sometimes it's time.
Shohio Tani, it was time for him Ivan he outgrew
that city.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
It was his time. He you know, filled out his time. There.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Other times people are pounting until they get their way.
If someone requests the trade, yeah, there's different ways too.
It could be a veteran that's like, yo, I'm not
even sniff in the postseason. Yeah, Damian Lillard did everything
he could right that. Yeah, that's fair. We're not criticizing
that type of situation, Danny. There are veterans that have
been stars that are like, listen, with the teams I've
stayed loyal to, I'm not sniffing the postseason. I would

(18:16):
request a trade because I just want a chance to win. Dude,
it could be as something else that we often forget
to factor in, like, hey man, my family's not happy
out here and it's going to tear my marriage apart.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
These are real things that we never factor in. Yeah,
it could be.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
It could be a player that played his whole career
on the West Coast got sent to the East and
he's like, yeah, I'm not vibing. My family is.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
My wife's just not happy.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Everyone's not happy, and you know what, that could play
a role. And we'll take your feedback next. How do
you think it should be handled in the NFL, in
the NBA, in any sport for that matter, where someone says, yeah, yeah,
I settle, want out, but they're still under contract, do
you because what happens always too Danny.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
You're seeing it with the Niners.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
You're seen with the players the teams that trade the star
are don't really get the proper but rich what we're
seeing the proper back end of the trade whippery slope
when this I don't know if we could backtrack to
find when this really started, you know, but when this
started to be a thing, it was problematic because you're like, well, wait,

(19:19):
they're under contract, so they pouted to get their way.
This is the problem because you're like, well, why is
this happening now? Is because been we've they've been given in.
It's become a thing. It's become the norm. No one's
honoring their contracts.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't know your thoughts. Where did this begin?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Let's start with Ryan in Million Wauk on Line one,
Ryan give you know on rech with somebody.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
Hey, how are you guys?

Speaker 2 (19:43):
What's up? Brother?

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (19:44):
I was just thinking back to like whiners and where
it started.

Speaker 7 (19:49):
I'm pretty sure, but not certain. I'm a big James
Harden fan, but I think when James Harden was with
the Sixers and wanted out, that might might have been
a starting point with the whining.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yo, dude, Honestly, this is why I love talk radio.
It's like we're chopping it up at the barber shop
and I got these thoughts and sometimes I can't pinpoint them,
but we're having a collective conversation and you just read
my mind.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Dude. I think that's the one.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Party was one of the guys where he was like like, man,
that's kind of wild what these guys are doing. And
it becomes a thought of are you on the players
side or the owner's side, because it's kind of cool
that they're pushing back and sticking it to the man,
but we had never seen that. But then it becomes
a normal thing and that's why we're dealing with it today.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's wright.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean, listen, I know our buddy Trevor and Waco
wants to chime in. That's a great one man on
this side of like, if you put this in perspective
of small business, like let's say let's say you own
a bakery and one of your employees is like you.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
I want to get out of here. I want to
work for the other bakery.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Like there comes a point where you're like, well, then
I don't want your complaining ass here. Then go Trevor
your thoughts, buddy, Yeah, going, guys.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
First off, I want to say, great job on the show.
I've been listening for quite some time and I do awesome.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
And it's interesting thanks man.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Running this topic of discussion. And I get when I
call in the go all dances of the phone. So
I think that type of selfless leadership and that type
of selfless behavior and the team is, uh, it's a
pretty pretty interesting you hear that peek selfless.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Let's explain, Danny G stepped out. Yeah, Danny G stepped out.
So Rich answered the call selflessly. I ran to get
my phone charger and I told Rich. Rich watched the
phone for two minutes. So we tell trev We tell Trevor,
you had to go to the bathroom. Trevor, what's your
thoughts on the small business side of this man? If
you're a small business owner, do you want this disgruntled
guy on your team.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
I'm starting, you know, I'm starting a small business and
I'll keep it short. But ultimately, something I learned the
wrong time ago was a couple of things with these
athletes that are complaining. If you're constantly complaining and no
one else surrounds you, he's about the same issues. And
the pallma calling in the mirror, first team checking me
if you are complaining. I always tell my team members, Hey,

(21:59):
if you have a phone, there's no issue with I
don't have an issue with you trying to make this
operation better from being a solution, right, always doing a
solution to the problem. And I think those two things
a key. You want to hear feedback from your employees
because sometimes you.

Speaker 8 (22:13):
Can improve efficiency.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
But yeah, and that's all great advice, and I appreciate
the call man and thanks for the kind words. But
as much as I want to say we'll beat it,
then you also have to think about, what's that old expression,
you got to keep your pimpan strong, rich, the owner's.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Got to stay strong here, and like the heat did.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Stand their ground because if the player chooses to continue
to go down that path, right, they're just diminishing their
own value and eventually they're going.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
To realize that.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
So it's counterproductive for them in the long run to
continue being that way.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yes, there's something else rich too, really quick that came
to mind because it happens a lot in our business,
philosophical differences, and you saw that with Kawhi Leonard in
San Antonio he had the quad injury.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Wait a second, was it Kawhi Leonard or Harden? That
really rubbed me to that? I think the.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
First one that came to my mind was Kawhia his team.
He wanted his own doctors and his representatives were causing
a problem with the Spurs medical team and there was
a big beef there and that forced him out of set.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Another really good one Danny g and that's when we
all began scratching our heads and we started seeing a
new way of players making demands. And if you really
want to backtrack and get to the core of well, why,
it's because they're really well paid and they have the
power to say, yeah, I don't need to do this.
I already got millions of dollars. So that's really where
the problem lies. You gave these guys so much money

(23:40):
that they're like, I don't need you know, I got
They're just as much in demand and in power of
the situation, and you know, it becomes a stickery, slippery slape.
And you got to ask yourself, am I on the
side of the player or the team?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Did you say it's stickery and slippery? I mean that up.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I like that stickery, you know, before we go to
DV in a second, I just I thought of other
examples throughout life, not just sports. Those are some great
and that actually looks them up to get out of
a deal with Warner Brothers. Remember Prince the artist formerly
noticed Prince and he was a symbol that was his.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
That was his work around. No I forgot him. Tell
me about him. You might have know this guy. But
I heard of him. Yeah, I think I remember. I
have one now.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I guarantee you don't know Ernest Hemingway. This goes back
a long time. Apparently he wanted to get out of
a publishing deal, so he wrote a stinker of a
book so the company would be like, oh, Hemingway doesn't
have it anymore?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Is that way?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
And in the world of radio, do you remember, of
course famous on the East Coast, Opie and Anthony. The
only way they could go to a better job offer
in New York was if they got fired, So they
faked the mayor's death in their city, knowing we're.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Gonna get fired, got the big job in New York City,
let's fake his death. Opie.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay, yeah, I heard he's back on radio and Jeremy
Piven this is alleged, but do you remember he faked that?
They say he I have faked mercury poisoning because he
didn't want to be on a Broadway show he signed
up for and he apparently wasn't happy with it. So
the whole week of the run of the show, they're like, oh, yeah,
Pivvein's out with mercury poisoning.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
He had too much sushi.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Here's Here's where it's confusing though for the fan, right,
because you always want to have the side of the employee, right,
screw the owner, these rich dudes signing checks. But as
a fan, you're rooting for that team, right, So it's
always your you're as a fan, you're in the middle
here exactly. You want to root for the small guy,

(25:33):
but you also want to root for your team. You
all guys vested up your team, like boh, I get it, dB,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
My friend.

Speaker 9 (25:41):
Fellas very rarely do I like it when people use
real world and sports together, And this is one of
those opportunities where I hate it the most. I just
don't think it's I just don't. I think it's apples
to oranges, to grapefruits to bananas. I think it's so
different because there's so many different angles to it. It's
tough to use the bakery thing. If there's a bakery

(26:04):
across the street that's paying you five dollars more an hour,
what are you gonna do, you know, like that to
make your money? Yeah, yeah, exactly, you're gonna leave, you know.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
So you think the athletes are are taking advantage of
the situation.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
Sometimes, I do think it works both ways in professional sports.
I just I don't think that it's an apples to
apples when we talk about someone trying to support their family,
you know, you know that's true a week.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
In a real life situation.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
So you're saying the local baker is not the same
as Miles Garrett.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Correct. Yes, yes, you're saying Prince.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
The artist probably knows Prince is not the same as
the guy work at the hosts to Donuts.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (26:41):
George Michael famously had a dispute with Sony you know,
refuse to promote, and he ended up having to pay
lost the lawsuit, you know for it for the violation
of his contract.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Taylor Swift re recorder all her albums so that people
would stop taking money from her.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
Sure, sure you guys touched on it, but for those
that missed it. Bengals defensive Entrey hendrix In has gotten
permission from Cincinnati to seek a trade. He is entering
the final year of his five year deal and he
signed with the Bengals. Final year would be twenty twenty five.
Led the NFL. In sacks, we're.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Gonna celebrate someone's birthday about that. To make everyone feel
a little better. Nice, but a quick phone call from
Seawan and Sacramento Sean, make it snappy.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
What's up? Man? Don't make it snappy? This guy always
brings it. What's up? What's up?

Speaker 10 (27:28):
And make it quick and I'll bring it to the
same time, Fellas. First of all, my brother from another mother, man.
And second of all, can I just say Danny G
did y'all proud yesterday?

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Man?

Speaker 10 (27:38):
He came on a hot seat with the Odd Couple
and it was a bigger robbery between Tane Davis or
Roach over the weekend. They totally stole my man's win.
I don't know who's going on with Alex Teischer, but
that brings up a bigger point man, Nanny G pointed out, that's.

Speaker 11 (27:52):
A big vanilla funny slim whatever his thirty eight nicknames are,
is calling everybody out about his little basketball one shot
take to get some tournament action between YouTube, the Odd
Couple and the big Vanilla funny and playing show during
the tournament.

Speaker 10 (28:06):
That's wh who got the sweetest jumper?

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Man, I'm trying to see it, Fellas.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I mean, uncontested, Cavino's pretty good, but you get in
his face, you'll block him every time, but it's.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Been a minute since I've been shooting.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Look, I love Big Vanilla Husky, Funny Poppy, the.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Guy with the million nicknames. I love him. I think
he's a great broadcaster.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm not sure I have the energy for this dude,
to be honest, so I gotta figure it out. If
you want it, Sean, We're gonna have to shootout company. Yeah,
if the demand is there, I'm down.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'll tell you this.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I love his show though, Big Vanilla, the Husky Poppy.
He said that he'll beat anyone in Fox Sports ready
on physical challenges, and I was like, if it's baseball related,
I'm confident I'll beat anyone here.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
If it's basketball related, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
We got a guy named Doug Gottlieb who played college
basketball and as a coach. And then I said, if
it's football, we got LeVar and Brady Quinn.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I said, the only thing VJ.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Vernon Husky will win is a selfie Jim hose down
because the guy posts a lot of Jim selfiees.

Speaker 12 (29:04):
Honestly, I don't even know if you win against that.
There might be a guy in the back I put
up against him.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
You know spots right there, Spot, I think you'd win.
In fact, VJ would win nothing. That's hil there. I
got him.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, I don't competing and broadcasting, but hey, if it's
gotta happen, it's got to happen. Sorry, if it's mini
golf or whiffle ball, I got my money on Cavino.
There you go, and again we're Covino and Rich. Shout
out to the big Vanilla Funny and shout out to
the odd couple. Danny g The hot seat was fun.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, it was a good time. I gotta listen back.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I love the odd couple, and I love you guys
for hanging out with us.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
But look it is time. Let's go. There's a surgeon. Ya.
What we're gonna do is go back.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty at fifty after cn R give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, okay, so we I love to reminisce on a Thursday,
throw it back and get you involved.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
There was a movie that came out when we were kids,
nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Nineteen ninety six. That's also when Swingers came out. I
remember because I was way into that movie. I was
in college at the time, not to date myself, but
I remember watching this. It got five percent on Rotten Potatoes.
But we all saw it. I'm talking about Kazam. And
the reason we bring up this terrible movie is because

(30:30):
today is Shaquille O'Neills fifty third birthday.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Jack Love Shack Baby. I can't believe love fifty three
happy birthday. I'm still still handsled, and I'm still strong,
and I'll still be Vanilla Funny in basketball.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
So I look at it this way, Vanilla, do you
meat that Funny fifty three a legend? But he had
a stinker known as Kazam.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
You know I'm sick and tired of you. If you're fired,
get out.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
So when you think of the weakest movies most of
us have seen, what comes to mind because I feel
like Kazam because of Shak's popularity, so many people like, oh,
shacks in a movie.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'll just check it out. Can I kick it off? Please?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Do? Besides Kazam, the weakest movies we've all seen again,
we want your feedback. At eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, No Holds Barred, Hulk Holgan and Zeus Tey
Zeus Lister. Oh that was such a great answer, Tokyu.
We'll take your feedback back CNR on FSR hang type.

(31:40):
To be fair, we know how great Shaq is. We
know the championships. We know his swag, his humor, his charisma,
his shimmy, his endorsements. We know that in foo snickings
he's done at all. He's a generous guy with dude. Butiously,
when you look it up, guys, he owns Krispy Kreme,

(32:04):
he owns Krispy Kremes, he owns Anti Ann, seventeen different
Anti ANNs, Big Chicken, co founder Papa John's all over Atlanta.
Five guys, one hundred and fifty five locations.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Great, and you know that makes him a lot of money. Seriously, dude,
like he's like thirty dollars to eat there by yourself.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
He's involved in so many things. Five guys one hundred
and fifty five. Hold on, that is seven hundred and
seventy five men. Yeah, he owns that many forever twenty
one he's involved with He owns the rights to iconic
names like Muhammad Ali who you just mentioned, Rich Michael Jackson,
Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe O'Neil is the second largest individual

(32:46):
shareholder in Authentic Brands Group ABG. Like he's doing it all.
So not only is he a businessman, he's a business man.
So before we crap on his movie, I give your props. Well,
we're always singing his praises. He's on our show once
that week. That's true. And that fan Sandy g that
probably is the biggest L he ever took, that weak ass.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Movie, for sure.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
And he said the reason why he did it at
the time was before the payday and they gave him
seven million dollars to go do that.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Well you know what, then, I guess, uh, yeah, I
can't blame it if it was an L for the viewers,
but not for him, not for him.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I mentioned No holds barred to get it going, and
we get to your phone calls next, I bring up
No Holds Barred because we remember, if you watched even
casually the WWF when you were a kid, they hyped
this up like it was gonna be the biggest movie
that ever was because Vince McMahon produced it. If I'm
not mistaken up the whole scene of Hogan and the

(33:44):
trailer in slow motion jumping on the hood of the car.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Uh. That was such a flop.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
They even had Zeus Tiny Zeus Lister, if I remember correctly,
headline SummerSlam. They were trying to bring the characters into wrestling,
and you put it up before the week. A scene
from that movie when Hogan grabs the guy out of
the car.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Take a listen, how stupid the guy.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Now, even no Hol's Barred scored higher than Kazam ten
percent on Rotten ten five more than Shack's movie. So
now we go to your riches. One automatically come to
mind for you. I have my favorite bad movie, but
I want to give the phone calls a shot before
I before I point out what I consider.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
A family favor to my household.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
But I know in the first one I told you
in our aprecial meeting. Do you think a listener will
have that one?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
You know what, Danny, that's that's mine. So okay, we
agree on it, you and I, Danny k.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
And I have one of the same awful movies that
our families both seem to watch a lot. Let's go
to John and Illinois. What's the weakest movie we've all seen?
What's up, John?

Speaker 8 (35:00):
I love you on the way home.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Thanks.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
So sticking with the theme, Uh so two of them
would be uh Airplane with Kareem and then Kral with Wills.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
You know the Airplane was a good movie. That's not
a I don't think that's a bad movie. Maybe, Yeah,
that's what was the second one? Anybody knows. I don't
even know what Wilt Will Chamberlain was in a movie?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, what what movie was at you?

Speaker 12 (35:28):
That was the second Coney in the Barbarian movie.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
You're probably right about that about it? Okay, the movie Airplane?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
I happened to love some air Yeah, so I appreciate
the phone call, though.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Let's go next to do we got trip in Vegas?
What's up, buddy? Hey trip?

Speaker 7 (35:49):
Hey guys, thanks for taking my call.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
No problem.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
I got two one of spoof, but the other one's
blackfa the worst movie ever made. One would be Dracula
Dead and Loving It was horrible. But next movie is
the worst movie ever made. Battlefield Earth with Deandra Volta.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Battlefield Earth not a good one.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I don't know if it's his worst though, because you
know he was in a movie that Fred Durst of
Limp Biscuit produced like a few years ago. Look it up.
I had never heard anything about it, so it had
to be horrible. But thank you, Trip, I appreciate it.
Let's go to that John and Virginia Beach. John, what's up,
buddy boys?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Rich? What other movies match that stink level? How you doing? Man?

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Don't?

Speaker 4 (36:31):
All right?

Speaker 5 (36:32):
A lot of hype in this movie, but I didn't
see anything in it.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
The Blair Witch Project.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
You know, people loved it, and I listen, it's not
gonna go down as one of the worst ever. I
agree with you. I thought it's stark. I personally loved it.
Really you loved it. I did that now, I mean
loves a strong word. I liked it a lot.

Speaker 12 (36:49):
I think it's just gonna go down as being like
that was the first that we had of those like
discovered cam Quarters style movies. Yeah, I think that's I
think that's why people remember it and like gravitate to it.
But yeah, I don't know about the substance itself. First
of its kind, he had its place. I could see
how it's polarizing. Now I can see how you hated it.
H Let's go to Kyle, New York City.

Speaker 10 (37:08):
All right?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
How you guys doing what's somebuddy movies that stink that
we all saw?

Speaker 13 (37:12):
Okay, teen Wolf two is unwatchable.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah that's what. Uh Jason Bateman in that one.

Speaker 13 (37:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's unwatchable.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (37:20):
But I also wanted to say that you guys told
me about a movie, uh, the the movie about It's
got Danny tray Hill, uh the brother Blood Buddy. Thank
you so much for telling me, because, like you said,
it was awesome, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna watch it.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
And it was.

Speaker 10 (37:37):
It was awesome.

Speaker 13 (37:37):
I mean, and it's such a great cast. Oh, I
mean it was.

Speaker 10 (37:40):
It reminded me of Breaking Bad.

Speaker 13 (37:42):
When they do that thing with a when they do
all that that stuff at the one time, all at
the same time in the prisons, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Dude, I'm so glad you like that. The only criticism
is it so long. But it's the hardest Disney movie
you'll ever see blood.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
And Blood Out? Is it on Disney Plus? Yeah? It is.
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Teen Wolf two, by the way, eight percent on Rotten Potatoes.
That's gotta be Jason Bateman's worst because he's you know,
he's good.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
I'm gonna throw a movie out there.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
It's not my answer, but I can't imagine the rating
on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm sorry, Potatoes is very good. Please
look up the rating on this one. Do you remember
Anthony Anderson did Kangaroo Jack? Of course I do remember.
He was like on some Safari or something. O'Connell, Jerry O'Connell,

(38:28):
Anthony Anderson and a kangaroo. I watch it as a kid,
but I remember, even as a kid.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Remembering like kiss well Rich. I don't think this is
very good.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
It's still better than Kazam according to Rotten Tomatoes nine percent. Though,
I mean these are all great answers, because these are terrible.
I have the answer that I think it's gonna be
hard to beat. And I know this because Danny g
and I both one of us living in New York,
one of us living in California growing up, both watch
this with our families a hell of a lot and

(38:56):
it's awful.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Not et Mac and Me, The Broke Et, The Broke
e Te. I watched Mac and Me. It was such
a bad ripoff. What's your guests?

Speaker 1 (39:07):
What's your guest on Rott oh Man, Mac if Kazam,
If Kazam, was five percent and teen Wolf two is
but nine or whatever?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
What do you think this one is? Mac and Me?
I'd be surprised if it's above seven percent.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Dude on the head people, What did I win? Seven
nineteen eighty eight Mac and Me?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
I think maybe our family acquired it on VHS or
something where we be at my grandparents house and I
remember always thinking like, I'm looking at my little brother.
It's just like, we're gonna watch Mac and Me again.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
I guess. So it was so bad that it was
almost good in a way.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
My aunt would say, rewind that part and we'd be
busting up laughing, because the famous scene where the fake
et is dancing on the tabletops inside of McDonald's. Each
each part of that long scene, every time they go
to the little alien guy, he's a diff diferent size,
it's a different person in a different costumes.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
It's so bad that you're right it might be good.
Do you guys all know about singing the Super Bowl? Right?

Speaker 2 (40:09):
You guys all know?

Speaker 1 (40:10):
You guys all know about the Paul Rudd prank. It's
one of my favorites. It's a running joke when he
would go on Conan O'Brien show. Every time Paul Rudd
would go there to promote promote a movie, like Hey,
Paul Rud's here to promote a you know, forty year
old Virgin.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
He would always.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Play a clip from the movie, but it would always
be the same clip from Mac and Me with the
kids going down the hill in the wheelchair, and Max's like, uh,
that's honestly the extent of my knowledge of this movie
other than I remember it coming out well. But there's
a lot of like trashy horror movies too. You know,
I'm looking up some movies, like I had answers written down,
and I'm surprised that they were ranked way higher than

(40:47):
I thought. Like I wrote down like Amazon, Women on
the Moon, Killer Clowns from Outer Space, and surprisingly they're
like sixty percent and above on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
But I got one, and I'm right on this one.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
I'm trying to think all the trash like HBO movies
you'd watch as a kid. You guys, remember Goolies and
they would come out of the toilet like they're like
the weak ass gremlins, Like.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Google, They're not critters, they're not gremlins.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
They're Google Coolies seven percent, so I think a lot
of us probably saw that at one point. You definitely
remember seeing that little monster out of the toilet when
you were at Blockbuster, walked past it, all right, seven
percent got I got two and the phones are hot,
so we got about everyone, but I got too, while
Danny g gets the next round. I want to see
if anyone could beat Kazam though five percent. No one's

(41:35):
beat it yet, kind of hard to beat.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I got to look up.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
I remember watching this movie in high school at theater
with my friends, and we were even teenagers, and we acknowledged,
this is the worst movie we've seen. Cuba Gooding Junior
played a mute and he went on an adventure with
Paul Hogan. It was called Lightning Jack.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Do you remember Lightning Cat First Lightning Lightning jan eight. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
I remember being like Junior, dude, you're right on. You
know it got six percent. Honestly, it's not as easy
as you think to think of movies this, yeah, because
the ones other ones that I thought were terrible actually
score pretty decent.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Lightning Jack.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
I don't want to give away what I think might
beat because I am, but I have to only because widely
considered over the last fifty years. Every time I jo
Ohio wanted, you know, let's let's go to Josh and
Ohio online one. I'll give it to him. But I
don't think it was the worst movie of all time.
But Josh, what do you got man?

Speaker 6 (42:36):
I mean it was kind of a heartbreaker because we're
all the same age. We all want to do. Let's
just be honest. Wanted to see the Girls from Bayside naked,
and we all rushed out to see Jesse's Fano and Showgirls,
and that movie was so bad it took away from
Jesse being hot.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Hold on, I hope Rich's dad isn't watching h because
isn't he surprisingly a huge fan of this movie?

Speaker 2 (42:57):
My dad, who's like, ah, I thought it was a
good movie. I gotta be honest. I love it, Like
I think my dad just likes boobs.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
But you know what, Showgirls, it's it's there, but it's not.
It's twenty three percent, right. I mean, everybody knows it
wasn't a good movie that was.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Critically acclaimed as the worst movie of all time.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
That wasn't my answer. My answer, I'll give you mine.
I thought I think this might be the one. I
never hated it, but when we were kids, even our
parents and your neighbors would joke about how bad this
movie was. I know where you're going, and if you
grew up in La shout out to Rick D's Howard
the Duck.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Howard the Duck.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Wait a second, did Disco Duck have anything to do
with that movie? I think it did, right, I wasn't
think so.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I don't think I think they're just two terrible duck
related things.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Was the Disco Ducks at a featured no dass quantastic
quack quack quack quacko related I didn't know that came
out in eighty six.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Did Disco Duck come out in the eighties. I don't
think so. Maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
They both suck. I agree with you Rich Howard the
Duck thirteen percent. But where Rich is right on it
is that it's synonymous with like one of the worst
flops of the eighties. Lea Thompson was in it, one
of the worst movies. When you have this conversation, this
movie always comes up. Can I give you one more?
I don't know if it was so bad, but I

(44:14):
know box office wise. I remember when we were kids.
People talking about how this movie lost millions because it
costs so much to make, yet made no money. Can
you look up water World? Oh well this No, no,
there's no way that Rotten Tomatoes has water World as

(44:35):
something low.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
No way, because it's gonna be low. It is low. Yeah,
but it was criticized for losing money, not for such.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
And they do have the water World show at Universal,
so that, by the way, is still fantastic.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
It's probably probably the favorite thing at Universal Studio.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Of our great show. Yeah, our good pals. Mike is
one of the stunt guys in that show. Water World
nineteen ninety five forty five percent on the Tomato meter,
but again, with was highly criticized because of how much
money it lost.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Let's go back to the calls. At eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox is Shaquille O'Neal's birthday, his fifty
third birthday, and we always hype on his doubus because
he's a usually successful guy. Today we're clowning his l
and I'm sure he'd be okay with it. It's his
birthday and we're talking about Kazam In reality, he won anyway,
because he can made seven million for it, and it

(45:24):
might be the only thing Shaq's done when we could
all be like, yeah, that was that was not good
because Shaq, Let's be honest, he's a winner. Let's say
five percent on the tomato meeting. Now, let's go rapid fire.
John in Pennsylvania, Covino and Rich, what's the worst movie
we've all seen?

Speaker 10 (45:41):
The worst movie in the history of the world, Son of.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Kong, Son of Kung. I don't know if I've seen
the nineteen thirty three movie, because I used to like
that of Kong. Yeah, like the old black and white
one or.

Speaker 10 (45:57):
Yeah, not the original King Kong.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
The Son of Come.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah, when I was when I was little, I liked it.
I probably wouldn't like it now, but I got under five.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Yeah, thank you. John Ray in Northern Cali, Raykevino, and.

Speaker 11 (46:11):
Rich, guys, first of all, shout out Howard the gut because.

Speaker 7 (46:16):
I'm calling from Pedaloma and this that's where.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
This movie is.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
By the way, for the record, for the stat Boys
at Home, Disco Duck came out in nineteen seventy seven, Okay,
And the other.

Speaker 13 (46:26):
Movie I was gonna mention was Adventures of Pluto nash.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Oh that was Eddie Murphy, Right was Eddie Murphy Adventures
a Pluto?

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Nash? Am I wrong about why?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
I'm a hold that is Eddie Murphy, Randy Quaid and
Rosario Dawson and that got let me look it up
for you real quick. Six percent? Man, that was a
good one. But you know what, I never saw that one.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
I don't think I did either. Yeah, I'm actually glad
I never did.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Dub Metrius from Tulsa? What's up Demetrius? By the way,
hold on, it was real quick. Yeah, Shack, can't feel
that bad if a great like Eddie Murphy is capable
of making something so terrible. Eddie Murphy arguably one of
the most talented guys of our time, funniest dudes.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
He was in a movie that bad.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
That's crazy, Like, there's no redeeming parts of Pluto, Nash,
What do you got Demetris?

Speaker 11 (47:17):
Two of them, Joe Versus the Volcano and Down Periscope
with Kelsey Grammer bad.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Movies, but I don't think they're under ten percent.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
I bet I think Joe Ver's Volcano is bad for
like a Tom Hanks movie, right, like bad for him.
I'm trying to find it though, Yeah, it's not even
on the Potato meter. It has to be right, what
do you got for fet all?

Speaker 11 (47:40):
Right?

Speaker 12 (47:41):
So I think it might get propped up a little
bit above ten percent. But I've got one with two
big hitters and at Carl Urban and Dwayne the Rock
Johnson Doom. Yeah, with like the weird first person scene
they try to do because they're trying to emulate the
video game and everything.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
It was not good, you know what I'm trying to
I'm very curious.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
I'm sure you could categorize it Camino when we're when
we're done taking the phone calls, there's got to be
a way where you could find out what the lowest
rated movie.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Yeah, well I looked it up, and I'm trying to
find on this list ones that we've all that we
could say most people have seen. I don't know if
this would qualify, but return to the Blue Lagoon, the
nineteen ninety one version, Oh, the ninety one version, zero percent?

Speaker 2 (48:28):
That percent? Amato, man, Like, how bad can a movie be?

Speaker 1 (48:33):
But I think what makes the Shack one special And
I said that for real, is that a lot of
people have seen it.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Because we're like, oh, Shack, I love Shack. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
But you know what's interesting about it. When you say Kazam,
I automatically think Simbad because of the Mandela effect. I
think of Wait, was he in a genie movie Shazam?
And people are like, no, he was, and people are
beg nah, he was never in a Geni movie.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Wait, Simbad wasn't a Genie movie. Cove. Here's another one
with zero percent, Problem Child from nineteen nine. Yeah, John Ridder,
I love Problem Child. They ranked that number seventeen on
their Worst one hundred.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
You know, I feel bad about that because we all
love John Ritter and he never really translated to the movies.
I know the way he should, of course, But I'm saying,
of all those bad stinkers we talked about, I'm not
saying Problem Trial was good, but Problem Trial deserves to
be zero percent.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
And one more number nineteen on their list, the sequel
to Saturday Night Fever Staying Alive zero big fat wo.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
I'm gonna I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
I'm gonna stick up for Problem Child and say, while
not great, it was John Ritter with a kid that
just caused mischief.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
It was such a cheesy nineties movie. Certainly not deservant
of zero.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Then again, you're thinking on behalf of your at your
old perations, you know of a ten year old. So
we'll wrap it up with your phone calls eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox The Weakest movies that could
match the stink level of a Kazam.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Right after the show, we go live with our bonus.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Pod in thirteen minutes on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
We're going over the greatest comebacks. There's an old heavyweight,
former heavyweight champion looking to make a comeback. A few
comebacks in the world of fighting, and we're going over
some of our favorite comebacks. We'll talk about reasons you
fell in love with sports. Was there a specific athlete

(50:26):
or a moment, the reasons you fell in love with sports,
the reason you're listening now, There had to be an athlete,
a person, or a moment that got you there. And
the most famous name changes in sports, because today's the
anniversary of when Cash's client became Muhammad Ali. So that's
on over Promise Live in thirteen minutes on Fox Sports

(50:48):
Radio's YouTube page, Episode eighty three, Join us Live. I'm
Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis and Russell Westbrook rull.
We were talking about movies that were bad.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
I think there's a movie that a lot of people
love that came out on this day. If you want
to feel old on this day in nineteen ninety eight,
The Big Lebowski.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Oh wow, ninety eight. Lady, you're a bowling fan. Yeah,
I love bowling Big Lebowski. The dues shout out to
Norm Duke. Uh, nineteen ninety eight. So you're talking, holy crap,
almost thirty years ago.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
So the Nuggets beat the Kings one sixteen one ten.
Russell Westbrook had twenty five points. We talked about the
specimen that he is rich. We saw him up close
and personal. I'm surprised that's not my kid's favorite basketball
team because all they want is Nuggets.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Yeah, Nuggets, every kid, Muggy Nuggets, Nuggies.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
So the story goes Altitude Sports reporter Scott Hastings is
interviewing Russell Westbrook and they see a special fan in
the stands.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
And if you missed it, prefet take a listen. God,
you got one of your favorite favorites from South Korea.
Cam over there, he's jumping up and down. He's all
excited for you. I appreciate you, brother, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Man.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
I'm bye, I got nothing jersey swing I'm bringing over
to you. Man, appreciate it. Everybody, What do you think
about Russell Westbrook? Tonight, crowd goes nuts. West goes jersey off.
The happiest man in the buildings in the South Korea
here too, and he's on a mission, Westbrook taking off
the jersey. He's heading to.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Kim and the guy goes nuts. He's like, oh my god,
oh my god. He starts freaking out. He's hugging a
sweaty Frussell Westbrook. You know. And and by the way,
Russell Westbrook ripped like shredded. Yeah, it's easy to take
off your jersey when you're ripped like that. You know
what a flex.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
If I was ripped like that, I'd be like, anyone
want my shirt? Shirt? And you know, good for him.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
But this dude again, this fan traveled six thousand I'm sorry,
six how much miles from Tokyo and he's holding up
signs like I'm your biggest fan. He's wearing a Westbrook
jersey and just seeing how well how he was in
his interaction seems so genuine to me. Not that I
ever thought anything bad about Westbrook, but he won me

(53:06):
over in this moment. So it made me think about
other moments you've seen or heard that just made you
think differently about that guy. I made you like him
in a different way. I have a take on this,
and this is not to take any humanized It's not
to take anything away from Westbrook. Yeah, but there are
so many times where I get it, and I truly
do athletes are in the zone. But there are times

(53:28):
where I don't give me a baseball player that's sort
of like a quiet dude. Maybe now currently because I
was gonna say Bryce Harper, but he's real. I think
he's great with the fans.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Like I don't know, pick anybody, uh, your boy McNeil.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
McNeil, no, Jeff mcdeial, find anyone when they're walking towards
a dugout and all the fans like, you.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Know McNeil, mcdeil.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
But yeah, unless you're zone than it's Game seven of
the World Series. I'm shocked that there's not more acknowledgment.
Or a pitcher leaves a game and he's headed twos
a dugout and he pitched a gem. I'm not saying
show up the other team, but there's just not enough
like warm fan interactions. Yeah, like if there I love
that KG clip that you brought up recently, the KG
clip where that the guy dances with his shirt off

(54:13):
like twenty years ago and then then comes back. KD
returns to the t Wolves at the end and the
guy does the same dancing. KDI gives a little point like, yo.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
My guy.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
I just and I'm not saying, you know, it's community.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
You know, we make that analogy where when like an
Academy Award winning actor does a bit on a late
night show and we're like.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Oh my god, they were great, and it's like, well,
they should be great. They're in a Academy. Well, Tom
Cruise was really great with Fallon. He should be. It's
Tom Cruise.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
I'm just saying, unless you're zoned in and it's the
fourth quarter of Game seven, or it's the World Series
or the Super Bowl, if you're walking towards the dugout
or the sidelines or court side and fans are like, well,
it's broke, well's I would assume.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Why wouldn't you be like, yeah, what's up, guys?

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Yeah, away from the moment, But but it is interesting
we don't see these things more often. That's why I
love when we shouldn't be surprised. That's why I like
the fact that it's a big deal that the Yankees
do roll call and they shout out the player's name
until they do a little hat tip.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
The athletes are nothing without the fans. But it was
nice to see so this dude. Honestly, what makes it
great is this dude traveled six thousand miles from Tokyo.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
It's a great moment that he's hugging it.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
He's like, he is so clearly in awe of his hero,
who is Russell Westbrook. So it was nice that Westbrook
acknowledged him, gave him the jersey off his back, signed it,
and it was a story and I am surprised we
don't see this more often. But what any other stories
come to mind? I think Russell Westbrook did the right thing,
and it makes me really think it's a cool moment.

(55:42):
What I'm saying, you know what the point is though,
rich to point is, and they discuss it on that broadcast,
is like it's the power and influence that the athletes
have on the fan. These little gestures mean so much
like when you see that clip and it's a famous
one of Don Mattingly eating popcorn out of the little
kids popcorn bucket, you don't think that little kid for
the rest of his life was impacted from the clip, the.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Moment, the memory. Don Magne is a hero.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
But I think we we we do such a crazy
job of putting celebrity, an athlete and all this such
a pedestal that but that's the power of an impact
that they have no I know. But I think because
we put so many people on a pedestal, we forget
sometimes when they do very human things. Were like, oh
my goodness, I'll give you one. Yeah, I'll give you
what I saw. And you could say, well, she's royalty.

(56:26):
But you know me, I hate the British family, the Roches.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Allergic. I'm allergic out. I don't know why any American
would care when I say the royal family rich thanks
George Brett and Dan quisenbar. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
I can't understand one percent how anyone cares about the
royal family here in the United States.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Like to me, quick, Kate Rince of bo Jackson and
Brett Saberhagen, But I saw it was it Kate Middleton.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Is that Wait, who's the one that's not hated, Not
Megan Kate. Milton's liked, right, They like Milton.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Yeah. Like she's walking in like an air.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Like a public area with her guards and you know,
the guys with the funny hats and all that crap,
and some kids like princess and she stops and like
is like, hey, what's up, little guy? And I was like,
and they made it seem like the biggest deal, Like, wow,
a human stop to say hi to a kid. That's
what we should be doing, right, But so isn't it
refreshing to see Westbrook do it? That's all right, we

(57:17):
shouldn't be surprised. I like your point, but it shouldn't
be a thing. We should see more of it. In
the same time, came from uh, you know, Ireland to
go see Lebron James and he's like, I came from Ireland,
like Lebron.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
James, like, my guy, thank you, will we give you
a hug? All right?

Speaker 1 (57:32):
So let this be the star of maybe more human
moments from athletes we admire. Well, with that said, have
a great night and we'll see tomorrow a Riva there
she baby, We'll see you in the over promised land. Goodbye, goodbye,
