Speaker 1 (00:22):
American Icon. A true legend in the world of sports,
in the world of life. Not only a legendary boxer,
but turned out to be a greater man. The Great
George Foreman passed away at seventy six. As of now,
his family still hasn't disclosed what caused the death. But
I mean, the guy had a tough life. He lasted
seventy six years in boxing years, that's like one hundred

(00:44):
and seventy six years. And let's not forget he fought
some of the toughest dudes on the planet. Some people
just remember him as a spokesman for the Grill or
Mini Key. I guarantee it the highest form of guarantee.
In fact, George Foreman endorses our show.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Hey, this is George Foreman.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You're gonna log a Cavino and Rich show.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I guarantee it.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Say, look at that, even back in the day rest
in peace, but even before the grill, the baddest man
on the planet, as Stephen A would say.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
He was a bad man.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
People feared George Foreman. He was like a fighting robotist.
Style was unconventional. He had crazy power, laying out legends
like Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, you name it, and then
became the oldest heavyweight. He was like a totally different guy.
I didn't even know it was the same George Foreman.
I'm like, that's the same guy that fort Ali.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
You kidding me.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
He came back at forty five and beat Michael Moore,
ended up seventy six and five, rich eighty one total
fights seventy six and five and lost most most of
those in the end of his career, but again became
heavyweight champ again at forty.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Five years old.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
There's a lot of people, and I'd imagine most people
forty and younger that don't even know, Oh, George Foreman
with hair, which is wild. And I only know that
George Rummand through highlights. I don't remember a you know
in real time George trumm with hair. If I say,
in my lifetime pictured George Foreman. It was always shaved
head with the smile. Well again, it's generational because he

(02:17):
was already a legend, and then he retired, he found God,
he became a preacher. He had a whole second part
of his life. He became a spokesman. But before that
he was probably the most feared boxer in the heavyweight division.
So when Ali beat him, it was like a miracle.
People were scared for Ali's life at that point, and
Ali did the rope of dope, tired out George Forrman.

(02:37):
George Forman hit him with everything he had, and then
the story goes rich. Ali said to him, that's all
you got, George, and he crushed Foreman's spirit. He ends
up losing. Ali pulls off a miracle. And that's what
makes Muhammad Ali a legend because Foreman at that time
was knocking out everybody. And like I said, he lost
five fights, but most of them at the end of

(02:58):
his career. He lost to Evander Holyfield. Think about that,
just for one second. A guy that fought Ali, he
lost to Muhammad Ali also lost to Evander Holyfield in
ninety one. He lost to Tommy Morrison in ninety three,
he fought Tommy the Duke Morrison bro Tommy Gunn and

(03:19):
he lost to Shannon Briggs in his last fight in
ninety seven, but again he beat Michael Moore to become
the oldest heavyweight champion till this day at the age
of forty five, a record that Klitchko's chasing. Now, Klitchko
says he wants a title fight at forty eight. But
a guy that fought Joe Frasier, a guy that fought
Ken Norton's and Ali's of the world. If you were fighting,

(03:42):
he was fighting the Shennon Briggses of the world. Now
I pose this question to you, if you only know
him from the grill? Is the grill the greatest infomercial
item of all time? Because, dude, it was a game changer.
It gave every bozo like me the freedom to make
some rubbery chicken at home.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It worked. I used it all the time, Dude, I
was that guy.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
As long as it was slanted rights they as the
joker has to be on an angle. Get that an angle,
the grease catcher, and remember the little older You could
never find the grease catcher.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Not only could you not.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Find that, remember the tool that came with like a
little uh, little cleaning spativity.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah, do you know, rich I read over the weekend
that when it first came out, the Forming Grill, it
wasn't selling well. Then he got on QVC and was
so good with the host and he at one point
he grabbed a burger and ate it, and that's what
blew it up.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
There was one point during the primode days of the
form and Grill, probably in our college days, where George
Foreman was making five to ten million dollars a month
off the grill. Over one hundred thousand I'm sorry, correction,
over one hundred million George Foreman grills have been sold.

(04:58):
We all had one. Everyone had one, and I had
the og one because then there was different variations of him.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
They had a deluxe one that pivoted dude.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
The premise of it was so simple. There was no
on off switch. It was plug it in, it gets hot,
and you cook some food. Had it in the dorm room.
Had it in my first home. Any thermometer, Nope, just
turn it on. I think it moved out to California
here with me. I had it for years. But the
point is it worked, and we trusted George Foreman, his smile,
his face, everything about him. He went from the meanest

(05:27):
man on the planet to the most likable guy that
we all trusted because we all had that grill.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Dude, I guarantee it.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Besides your rubbery chicken. It made really good turkey burgers.
That's what I used it for when I was a.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Bachelor, Burgers, casadilla's warming up anything. The form and grill
was in every college dorm house, frat house, sorority house
for a good decade or so. You know, Michael Scott
loved to wake up to the smell of bacon cooking
in the morning, so I of course had to post
a clip of him burning his foot on the George
Foreman grill from the Office as my tribute to George.

(06:02):
And speaking of which I don't even think you realized
that you just mentioned the Office.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Guess what today is the twenty year anniversary The.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Office debuted on this day in Oh wow, FuG at
that I was here an anniversary guy. You really are
tying it all together at a coincidentance tied together. So
George Foreman again, you knew him as a boxer.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Maybe you just knew him as a spokesman.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
But he was legendary at both and we all had
that grill and the guy was a true legend. And
if you've never seen it, if you want to pay
some tribute to George Foreman in your own time. It
sort of went under the radar because it wasn't a
big budget behind it. But Big George Foreman the Movie,

(06:44):
The Miraculous Story of the once and future Heavyweight Champion
of the World, came out in twenty twenty three, a biopic.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
It was pretty good. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
So if you have time when you're done with The
Bachelor tonight, when you're done catching up on the White Lotus,
check out Big George Foreman the movie. You learn something
about the guy again. He was a great dude, great
family man. He named every one of his kids George
and Georgina after him. And like I said, it's kind

(07:15):
of crazy growing up rich. I was so confused at
that time in my life. I was like, wait, the
guy that fought Ali, because it looked nothing like that guy.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
That's the same guy fighting now.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
It felt like two worlds apart, two different people from
two different life He reinvented himself, so it's was an
amazing life.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
What you pointed out was interesting because we remember that
forty five year old George Foreman in the nineties getting
the title back him. When you watch old videos of
him with Ali, you had that crazy, sneaky power bro.
It's like, wait a minute, that it seems like two
different people. It makes you think of like, how like
a Nolan Ryan. I looked a statup. Nolan Ryan has

(08:02):
faced nearly twenty percent of all Hall of Fame members.
Like Nolan Ryan was pitching the guys in the sixties
and the nineties, like his span like this. He was
on that sixty nine team with Tom Severs, so he
was probably playing against Let's.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
See what year did like Mantle retire? Did He never
faced Mantle?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Okay, but I know Mantle played into the mid to
late sixties guys like that though, So it's it's it's
wild to think that Foreman and then he was knocking
out Robin Ventora. So yeah, his career spack in a
lot of like legendary guys to recent history guys. Simple
fact that he fought Evander Holyfield and Muhammad Ala exactly.
So when you think of George Foreman, unfortunately and Fortunately,

(08:44):
the grill is.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
A big part of it.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
It made him, he said in an interview once it
made him over two hundred million dollars. I think it
was a half a billion dollar industry at one point, right,
Danny g the grill.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, it earned five hundred million dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
And to think that Hulk Hogan missed that opportunity, that's
how the legend goes.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
We even talked to the Hulks about it. There's like brother.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Some people say that's not a completely true story. But
the story that Hogan tells and some tell is that
they were looking for endorsers for this product line and
they were gonna give the Hulkster first shot at the
grill and either he missed the caller didn't get back.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
To this agent called him, right, yeah, I missed the call.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And then they're like, all right, Foreman, you get the
grill and the Hulkster got like a blender. Yeah, and
it didn't work out the same way. Look, Foreman was
great at it too, though it doesn't mean that the
Hulkster would have had the same impact. Foreman was trustworthy.
We liked them, and the grill works, so you got
to give her credit where it's due. What's up, dB,
I was.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
Just gonna say, like in the pantheon of infomercials, I mean,
that's it's it's got to be like that. Maybe the
Ronco said it and forget it. Yeah, and the.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Snuggie but like what like the chop Shot Slapshop, but
also the show.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, yeah, they're all up there.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I can't imagine they're above the George flem Flex Seal
Flex Seal tell you, Phil Swift and Billy Mays was
a big guy in that industry.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
Feel it made you trust the infomercial because if you
got the George Foreman grille and it was amazing because
I do you think that there is mistrust in it
and it worked like it did for so many of us.
As you guys have just been discussing, I had one
as well. It also put trust in that whole medium
that well, maybe now I can buy this or I
could buy that.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You know, that's a great point. We did.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
He he was so credible and you believed them for
whatever reason because he seems so believable and like such
a nice guy. Again, total personality transformation, the baddest guy
to the nicest guy. It did open up a lot
of other options in the world of infomercial items, but
to me, that's the king. To me, that's the number one.

(10:58):
And you know, we often when we talk about celebrity
sports endorsements, rich we always bring up Shack because what
he's done is amazing, and we always talk about OJ
and how impactful he was. But dude, George Foreman was
right up there with the best, if not the best.
When you think about that grill, it made the average
idiot feel like they could cook. Yeah, the average that is,

(11:21):
And that's me all the way. That was comno picture
nineteen year old Cavino at Montclair State in his frat house, like, guys.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I'm making murders. Like for the first time ever, this
guy felt like he was a chef.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
I probably romanced a young girlfriend of mine through the
help of the George Foreman grill. It made it easy
though for my dad. My dad used the George Forman
grill all the time, and weird kids it was. It
would a little light would come on when it was ready, right,
and then you put the stuff on and you just
watch that grease strip on down.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
That was it, and you know, spot you played it.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's the fat remember that fat spot.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Pointed the out earlier that it was a time where
people were less informed about health, so you were just assumed, like,
look at all the grease drip, it must be so
healthy you getting rid of all the grease. In fact,
because of the slant of the angle, the word lean
sold millions clean angle. It was all about the angle
of the grill had have gravity bringing the grease strip.

(12:21):
And now it was the whole premise of why it
worked it and it did.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Lean what was it?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Fat grilling machine, Lean mean grilling machine, Lean mean grilling
machine and Tomino. As you pointed out, you would always
lose that stupidttle tray to catch the fat. You never
find it. They'd be lost in mom's tupperware somewhere. You
could the tray. You can find that tray. And before
the air fryer, you probably still had a Foreman grill somewhere.
So it's it's definitely a big loss just an American culture,

(12:47):
but in the world of boxing.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You know, it's funny. I want you to think about
it for a second. For real.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
If you've moved to a lot, you know, after college,
or your apartments and houses before you got married, how
long did the Foreman Grill.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Come with you? Dude? It lasted a long time.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I feel like the Foreman Girl lasted until I moved
across the country.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
It's still in my garage in its box.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You have one.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, one of our buddies hit us up earlier and
they said the air fire sort of replaced the George
Foreman grill. But there was a time where everybody had one,
especially every college kid. Every family had one, but especially
if you were, you know, going on your own for
the first time, that was the go to item.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I mean, we moved.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
This summer will mark ten years that we've been out
here in Los Angeles. I probably, I think that's when
I said goodbye George Roman Grell.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
So I was like third.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I was in my third early thirties when I said
goodbye to the Foreman Girl.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Your point was so spot on as well. There was
nothing like the spark that came from your outlet as
you plug plugged it in or unplugged it.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
But it was also no temperature.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
That's the great thing about it was it wasn't like
it didn't innovate. Because mine had a bunwarmer in the
later days, and then a plastic lid that you could
put your hamburger buns.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
I know, I set my girlfriends on it. Yeah, you
missed out the button warmer. They actually called me the
bun warmer.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
But yeah, no on off. But we're gonna add this
bun warmer to it as well.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
So you gotta give there's a comedian.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We gotta give him props because he does a whole
bit on it on how like there was no it
was clearly designed. He says it was clearly designed by
a boxer because there was no one that helped him
out with the product. He said, there was no on off,
it was just the plug, there was no thermostat. Who's
the comedian, let's give him credit.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
I know the guy's name who actually did invent it,
Michael Boehm. And he tinkered with like lawnmowers and things
that were electric. Uh it says here other than the lawnmower,
which was gas powered obviously, but says he he was
a lifelong inventor. Wow, so he's the guy who came
up with it. He made a lot less money than
Big George did.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
And props again to Lachlan Lachlan Lachlan Patterson, who does
a whole routine on it, about how it was the
most simple design but it worked because it had the angle.
The whole thing, the whole thing was premised on the
angle of the grill.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I'm not saying. I'm not saying I'm gonna get one
in honor of the lake great George Forman. Now what
do they go for now?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
But I'm looking right now, there's a pretty sweet, newer
looking one, like a new one you could buy right now.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Do you see the one on the stand? Is that
what you're talking about?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm seeing on at Walmart and like Target right now
in Amazon for thirty four to thirty five bucks, and
it looks at a pretty but it looks like a pretty
nice one.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Rich there's one it's like eighty bucks now, but it's
actually on a stand. You could put it on your patio.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But you know what, here's here's something interesting though, Like
I have a teenage daughter, right there's a comfort knowing
that me, the biggest bone, had used it and I
was okay with it. I would feel comfortable with her
cooking something up if I wasn't around, because I know
it's kind of safe and easy to use. I should say,
what do you think it cost when we bought it
back in the day, what was it like? Fifty bucks

(15:48):
could have been It could not have been that because
every college kid had nine ninety.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
It was on sale usually for like thirty nine.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh you needed the bed, bathroom beyond coupon. That's why
you need that twenty percent off. But I feel like
fifty would have been too high for a price point. I
bet you was twenty nine or thirty nine dollars, because
are that's so cheap? Really twenty nine bucks for that thing?
But it was two sizes. There's no way that bigger ones.
How many times did you make like a hot sandwich?
I go pen like you play like a piece of

(16:15):
bread and some you know, cheese and cold cuts and
just smush it down, warm it up. Well, I'm telling you, man,
go buy yourself a new one for your teenage kid
for nostalgic reasons.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
And watch the movie.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
If you don't know a lot about the man, it
drives me bonkers when people say I didn't even know
he was a boxer. Come here, let me karate kick you.
Watch the movie. Learn something about the dude. He was
one of the best fighters, pure raw power, dude power
like no one else in boxing is called Big George
for him, and it came out in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I think you'll enjoy it. You'll learn a little something
about the guy. Did you guys?

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I mean Cavino grew up in Jersey, I grew up
in New York, dB Danny g Guy as Iowa Sam
Group in Iowa. We were all over the country this show.
What's the George Foreman Mnicky Muffler commercial? On every commercials?
Do you ever watch it in your life?

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Was that a big part of you childhood? Yeah, you're
not gonna pay a lot for this.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
I don't recall, I remember, but I wouldn't think that
it would be over and over.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh it was like I feel like that was in
heavy rotation where we grew up because of that and
because of the Grill success. For years on this show,
if Rich and I were trying to make a statement,
since day one of our show, we always said the
highest form of guarantee was the George forman guarantee. So
if I was like, dude, the Yankees are gonna have
a better record than the Mets this season, I guarantee it.

(17:37):
My guarantee means nothing. But if I said, I George
Foreman guarantee it, it's like an undeniable highest of high guarantees.
And then we always said the George Zimmer guarantee was
second to that. That's the Men's warehouse. You're gonna love
the way you look. I guarantee it. Guarantee you're gonna
like the way you look. And then oh, the Tommy
Boy in a box guarantee, the Tommy Boy Callahan breaks guarantee.

(18:00):
There were other ones to show name if guarantee holds
some weight.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Rich Back to your point about it being affordable, you're right.
In nineteen ninety four when it debuted, it was nineteen dollars.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
In ninety nine six, dude, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
The version we all bought a little later was thirty
nine dollars something like that.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
The price of the lap dance. You get one of those,
a lap dance or a former girl. That's a tough decision.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Do you remember the one I'm guessing you're picturing silver
with a black handle. Yes, okay, that was theatre and
white with the black hand.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
The white one is what I bought later, but I
remember that og version.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Gee, I had the silver with the black cand.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I remember seeing the ads for the one you're talking
about rich.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Wow, just to think it's crazy to think that this
guy won a pedition one of the greatest heavyweight boxes
of all time, you know, Muhammad Ali, a vander Holyfield,
he is what.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Was his record seventy and five or somebody to say
he said was he only lost five fights seventy six
and five.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I believe.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Meanwhile, the guy made his fortune as the face of
a real It's unbelievable. You know, Dan Byer made a
really great point that may have opened the door for
you know that that genre of sales and infomercial items
that we lived our entire high school years and college
years and growing up years were staying up late and

(19:19):
watching all these stupid things, probably because he made it credible. Well,
you know, I guess a lot of times you buy
things like that and it stinks. The former girl lived up,
hence the success. It lived up. You saw it, and
you're like this guy making burgers and kissadias and chicken.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You got it.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
You brought it home and you're like, wow, iought I
bought one that did not work. You brought up some
of these other ones. I remember buying the flavor Wave oven.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
And the flavorwave of it was like you could put
a frozen steak on you and you have a sweet
ribbi in ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
It defrosted. Every tried to.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I tried to make a canoe out of a flex seal.
I tried to sail on a screen window and it
didn't work. Man, I was so disappointed. Take one quick
phone call, move on. Who do we got here? Dennis
in Anchorage, Alaska? What's up, Dennis.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
I have a story about George Foreman. And I had
a friend and co worker who was a cutman and
he was re expected to the boxing world. And he
told me about once when he was with George while
he was training during his comeback part of his career.

(20:33):
My friend was holding the heavy bag on one side
while George was hitting away. And I want you to
think about how dense and thick you know, a heavy
bag is. Yeah, And my friend said that every single time,
every single time George hit the bag, my friend's hands hurt.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Dude, that's insane. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
And his power was so unconventional the way he was
he would slug in the way he hunch from all
those weird angles. Just a crazy fighter and a crazy career,
and he'll be missed. We're seeing our live from the

But before dB gives us update and before we play
our games, last one standing giveaway prizes. Not only rest
in peace to George Foreman, but my heart hurt over

(21:38):
the weekend when I found out Brett Gardner's son passed
away sort of a freak moment, died in his sleep.
They were vacationing. Brett Gardner one hundred percent heart loved
watching him. Played almost twenty years for the Yankees in
the organization, he played fourteen years with the Yankees. First
part of the story is I hated to send off.

(21:59):
I hated how the Yankees just let him go, never
gave him a send off, never a thanks for your service.
But he always played hard, always gave one hundred percent
that dude won the World Series in two thousand and nine,
on vacation with his family in Costa Rica and his
fourteen year old son, they all fell ill, like mysteriously
ill from something they ate or something that happened, and

(22:22):
his son ended up passing away over this weekend and
they put out a statement and just knowing the guy,
feeling like, you know the guy that's the power impact
of sports. I never met Brett Gardner, but I watched
his whole career when he was a young man. I
watched him won a World Series, I watched him retire.
I rooted for that guy. You like that guy. I
liked his heart, the way he played the game. You

(22:44):
just wish this type of guy happiness in the latter
part of their life. And then you hear a story
like that and it's so unfair and you're like, oh,
I don't know how you go I don't know how
you go on after a tragedy. Even they said rich like,
we don't have any answers. We're searching for answers. They
don't know what happened. And his kid apparently was he
looked just like his dad was a great athlete, a fiery,

(23:07):
feisty young man. The Yankees put out in a press release,
the little kid grew up in Yankee Stadium. But like
I said, it's the impact of sports. I never met Bret,
but my heart goes out to his family and man
prayers to them.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
I felt the same exact way as you, Rich. If
something happened to my son CoA, how could I even
get up the next.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Time and continue on?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Then? Feels like you so much into their lives, you
have so much hope. Where's his life going to lead?
He's fourteen? Yeah, a total nightmare, dude, terrible. Yeah, I
felt so bad about that. I will let me bring
him back to forming to cheer you up one last time,
and then we'll move on. I do want to talk
about the people you should not sleep with, so we're
gonna keep it light here in a little bit. But

(23:50):
I want to quote our pal Jim Lampley, who we
catch up with every time we go to a nice
fight weekend in Vegas. He tells the great story and
you can catch his whole interview on the Fox Sports
Radio YouTube page US. Sitting down with Lampley, he tells
the story of why he screamed out while calling the fight.
It happened because Foreman, when he made that big comeback

(24:14):
at forty five years old. Lampley interviewed him before the fight,
like they all do, said how are you gonna you
know your age, how are you gonna do this? And
Foreman told Lampley that's going to come a point in
this fight where Moore is going to just leave one
moment of vulnerability open, and in that moment it happened.

(24:35):
I'll take the punch and knock him out. And man,
it was legendary so quick hat It shows you the
power that he had. And you know what, Richie made
me think of something else too. Jim Lampley great blow
by blow commentator, but George Foreman also did a great
job in that ring as well, pun intended. He was
a great analyst, great broadcaster. So he had a great life.

(25:00):
Can I ask you seventy six years what other are
completely foolish irrelevant type of question? Sure, right at my alley,
I guess mufflers Was there a big demand back in
the day, like have you ever had a car where
like the muffler was? The issue was that a very
eighties like seventies eighties problem like the fact that there
was major campaigns like you're not going to pay off

(25:22):
for a muffler, I guaranteed have you ever bought a muffler?
Maybe maybe Foreman changed that game too man, But I'm saying,
like the way cars are built now, have you ever
heard any of your friends be like brought the cars
of the shot back in the seventies eight, you always
see people like with their muffler dragging around. Yes, the
muffler dragging on the ground fell off a couple of times.
What I'm saying is like, have they solved the muffler issue?

(25:44):
I think yees an issue?

Speaker 7 (25:45):
We solved it gives I think they changed the undercarriage
of vehicles so it's not just dangling there. Maybe because
it was like there was a bracket that held it
in place. Now it's like unders you would know if
your muffler need to be not if he was dragging,
but E would know it needed to be replaced because
it would make an awful sound.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Bro, you're more of a housing underneath your vehicle.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Now you're just post us Another question, what happened to
white petrified dog Douchie right now? And what happened to
dragging mufflers apparently used to be what was in your
dog's food that made it white, and that went away
and people.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Who taking the cadmium and forever.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm not trying to be funny. I'm being serious. Like
the muffler. There were multiple companies that did these commercials. Listen,
we've all brought our car to the shop and had
to pay a lot of money for something.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I'll tell you what. It's never been in my lifetime,
the muffler.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
I would have never thought I would be googling this
ever in my life, but it says mufflers have evolved
over time. They used to be simple perforated pipes and
now they're more sophisticated designs incorporating fiberglass.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna credit George Foreman. He changed a muffler game.
And we wouldn't have air fryers if it wasn't for
the invention of the grill, which led to that.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
You're not going to pay a lot for your muffler. Amazing.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I guarantee, Rich, in twenty years of working with you,
that might have been the greatest observation you ever had.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Flourishers, what's the deal? Why let's go to DV for
an update.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Dan Byers guys news in from the NBA, and there
will be an Anthony Davis signing tonight in Brooklyn, as
the Dallas Mavericks forward will play his second game in
a Mavericks uniform, returning from an adductor strain that's kept
him out since February eighth. Anthony Davis to play for
the Mavericks tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. By the way,

(27:26):
the Mavericks right now currently tied in the tenth spot
in the West with the Phoenix Suns, so the final
spot in the playing tournament.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
There's a few stories we got to get to. And Rich,
I know you even dying to talk about who not
to sleep with. And Rich is the expert.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I knew Rich nearly two thousands. This guy, he'd see
what anybody, stop it, stop it. I'm not correcting you,
I'm just saying stop it.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Stop it. So I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
I saw in our article this was on TMZ Sports
and say no more. It's just, uh, you're not You're
not wrong, but just say no more. The player on
the Miami heat heimi hakis Heimi Hawkes.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
From Camaio, California.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
He man there's not a lot of Vatos in the NBA,
a lot of Mexican dudes, so you got to give
them props. Now, I know that not allot of guys
with their socks high, not a lot of down fools.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
It's got to be racist.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Mexican might be a high joke. I thought it was
gonna be a high joke when it was a sock joke.
So Jimi Hawkes rumor that you know, was he getting
on with Eric Spolster's ex wife, And it just got
me thinking of like, who are the people that you
should always avoid putting yourselves in stupid intimate situations with?

(28:54):
And I would imagine if you're a player in pro sports,
your head coach's ex wife or worse, her current wife,
his current wife. This is apparently a rumor that she
has since been like, that's ridiculous, no way, it's all rumor.
But she was on a podcast saying after her divorce
from Falstra that it might be fun to date younger

(29:16):
guys because she could sort of like play with them.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
So it reminds me of that time where who is
the rumor of who was sleeping with Lebron's mom? Delante
West Delonte West. Thank you Dan for filling in my
bird brain thought. That's one like, don't sleep with the
mom of a teammate, don't James, don't sleep with your

(29:41):
coach's wife or ex wife. You know it's a The
list goes on on. This is a list of who
not to sleep with. I'll give you another. If you
have a favorite bar or restaurant in town that you
really enjoy, Like, you have a seat at the bar,
you check out all your games there after work their cheeseburger.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh they got great apps.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Don't randomly sleep with the hostess or waitress because then
you sort of can't go back there. Yeah, so start
thinking about who to avoid in the bedroom and other rumors.
Remember Corey Perry apparently slept with Connor Bedard's mom. Remember
that room of that hockey rumor? Yeah, don't sleep with
the rookie stars mom. Yeah that's another pat move. But

(30:24):
again that turned out to be a rumor. We'll take
your thoughts and phone calls next at eight seven seven
ninety nine one five.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Who is it most important to keep it in your
pants with? We'll get to that.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Plus, like I said last one standing, I don't know, man,
I saw a plot line last night that I'd never seen.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
I was like, WHOA, wow, just saying enjoy that show.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Now, I feel all okay that I just finished Temptestion
Island instead. Yeah, well, enjoy your white Lotus. That's going
down a weird path but interesting. And enjoy your madness.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
And right now we're talking about the worst person to
sleep with, to have familiar relations with, I'd say, if
you're the president your intern, that would be a good one, right,
and stay away from that.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Maybe maybe that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
I did not have sexual I mean, by the way,
that was the first time ever the term sexual relations
was was used. According to my knowledge, I think you're right.
That is a that is a fun fact. I did
not have sexual relations with that woman.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
We were not have sexual relations for that woman.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
What was that me?

Speaker 7 (31:29):
I never told anybody to lie, not a single time.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Never half thumb. When I tell my lies, I always
give the half thumb.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Get the half.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's my girlfriend's like, I know you're lying. I'm like,
how she's like the half thumb. I'm like, ah, dang it,
so worse people to sleep with. How about having entanglements?
Does that count? Entanglements? Is another. What does that mean, Oh,
you're not supposed to sleep with your kid's friend. Yeah,
that's a good one. Jana Pinkett Smith with her entanglement rich.

(32:00):
But it doesn't even have to be you know, it
doesn't have to be sports related, and that's why we're
talking about it. Apparently, Haimi hakes Fato Loco of The Heat,
there was a rumor, just a rumor, though that's still
like he slept with Spolstra's ex wife.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
But it got to be such a thing.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
She actually had to address it on a podcast and
she put it to sleep and said it never happened.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
So what comes to mind.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
It's it's a simple case of all the answers probably
go back to you don't do number two where you eat.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
That's really what it comes down to. What they say,
don't dip your pen in company, and that's the one.
But and don't steal your buddy's pen.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
And I would imagine, you know, coworkers, especially subordinate, you
will get fired, don't you know, don't don't be doing
that at work. But when it comes to who you
should stay away from intimately, I really think that if
you're a professional athlete, someone on the coaching staff's wife
or ex wife is up there. It's got to be
up there. What that is going to create such a rift?

(33:09):
Didn't that happen in Major League? Who's up to whose wife?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Dorn?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, that guy Dorn's Well, Dorn was up to know good.
But remember Dorn's wife got it on with the wild thing.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, she tricked wild thing though.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
So I mean, these things do happen.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
And I would say, anybody from a place that you frequent,
you know, if it's a play, a restaurant, a bar,
a story, you go to a lot, because then if
it doesn't work out, you can't really go back. I

(33:44):
would say something like that is probably something you stay
away from. Who not to sleep with your buddy's mom
Stiffler's mom? Yeah, yeah, I think a cinematic justice though.
I think here's a good one. I guess, unless you're
going to marry her. Unless you're going to marry her,

(34:06):
never try to have a little something with one of
your buddy sisters. That's the thing you can't avoid. Try
love's kiss, right, What is true love? If it's true love,
you have to go to your buddy like, hey, listen, buddy.
I would never just want to get with your sister. Hey, buddy,
I think I love her. I think this is destiny.

(34:27):
Then I city your destiny, destiny, you're my density. Then
I think there's exceptions there because you do hear nice stories, right, Rich,
But the worst people to sleep with.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Something to think about.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah, oh no, Rich, you know I have to remind
you of what you said off the air. You said
the bartender at your favorite place. I said that on
the air too.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I didn't hear you saying yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I said at the end of the last hour, I said,
if you freak with the spot, well you go to
watch the end of the game, or you get a
quick drink, or that's why you meet clients, or you
go to the same coffee shop every day, and it's
like the perfect if. It's like the Starbucks are coffee
being on the way to work where you don't want
to have to go to a different location.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Don't mess around there.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, because then you have to find a whole new spot,
or wait that that person leave or get fired. So
the thing is, it was just a rumor anyway, but
not one you want going around about you again, Think
about it, Think about it. If there was a rumor
about you sleeping with your boss's X. That's something you

(35:29):
want to put out right away? Yeah, I mean, listen,
there were rumors about this. There was a lot of
fun storylines in the show Running Points with Kate Hudson
on Netflix that was based on Genie Buss, like just
be careful, you know again where you dip your pen
so to speak. Now, speaking of that, Rich, speaking of
who you date and who you get with, how much

(35:53):
of us, say, does mom Dukes have how much of
a say does your mom have wheen?

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Or now?

Speaker 1 (36:01):
I mean you want your wife to get along with
your mom? When I was twelve, I mean, it's still
important to have or try for harmony in your life.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
You want them to get along.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
You want your parents' approval, You want your mom to
not like your wife.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Not something you've cared about.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
I mean, I mean you could say that, but this
guy just oozes douche and because he smiles, he thinks
it's okay. It's not what I was reaching for, Rich,
I mean, it happened, But what are you gonna do.
It's not like my mom hated my ex from the
get go things of all. But what happens is is

(36:39):
it a priority? Yes, of course it's a priority. You
wouldn't you rather them get along. Not everybody's gonna get along,
but you would rather them get along.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
But I think as a grown up, once you're I'll say,
I'll even I'll even categorize grown up like out of college,
once you're like twenty something, Yeah, you would. Everyone wants
peace and harmony, everyone wants people get along. But to
run your love life and sex life by your family
is odd. It's like, on, I don't think it's I

(37:08):
think for you to not care is more odd than
car It's like on that too many times do you
see on Love is Blind or any dating show? I
was like, I want someone that gets along with my
family because I'm a family person. For you to not care,
you're basically advertising that you don't care about any family time.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
You know what it's I'm.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Glad you said Love is Blind because I was going
to bring up a people value their time with their family,
So if someone's not going to fit in, then that's
a priority for them. You downplay the importance of that,
but if you do, not always gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
But it's very important.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
If you do watch dumb shows like Love is blind.
There were two storylines this year that caveman looking dude
you know, didn't get along with the girls, Dead of
a sister And do you remember Danny, that one guy
that's the biggest weenie Dave I believe his name was.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
I've always talking about his sisters.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
I wonder what my sister would think. That's I sucked.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, I agree with it, but I mean remember he
was like, yeah, but I don't know if my sister's
going to approve of you a.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Weenie, right, notagine you meeting a woman. I mean, like,
my sister's gonna like it.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Your sister and your parents, I mean, sister still matters too,
because you want harmony. Look, I've been in a situation
where my ex did not get all my sister. That's
not a fun place to be in. So for you
to act like you don't care, that's more odd to me.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
I live it. I'm telling you it's a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
And the reason you bring this up is because NFL superstar.
I say that because he has emerged as a young
star in the NFL. Jaden Daniels the Stars. There's this
vibe that his mom is on standby and she's Mom's
like the she's the defense. She sits between him and

(38:43):
girls he's interested in. Right, Danny was there was there
a clip of him with Juju Watkins?

Speaker 7 (38:48):
Right?

Speaker 5 (38:48):
Yeah, mom travels with him a lot. There's a reason.
I'll get to that in a second, but yeah. Jaden
Daniels was in La Saturday afternoon to support Juju Watkins
in the USC Trojans. Juju is one of the country's
best female call college basketball players. After USC's first round win,
Watkins had twenty two points and an injury scare in
the game. Then she was seen sliding into the stands

(39:09):
to sit next to Daniels. They were chatting it up.
She was making them laugh. Then Daniel's mom, who doubles
as his agent, sat in between the two of them.
Cameras caught her breaking up the conversation with a wave
of her finger. She looked right at the camera and
waved her finger like, oh no, uh uh, she's not
getting a piece of my son's money. I look at
it this way.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Not only is she his acting manager and agent and
everything that always works out well doesn't matter, is still
his mom. There's an ultimate respect there between them, and
he's only twenty four years old. I think I'm not
saying that he should only get with people his mom
approves of. Nobody does that, But when it comes to

(39:49):
being serious with somebody, I think that could be an
important factor.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
If you're close with your mom.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Dude, when you say that, you just advertise I'm not
that close to my mom.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Because you're close to your mom, you want her to
like the person.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
But this is a trust me, like you said, from experience,
not to quote when they don't not to quote a
fictional show again, but Danny, I know, I feel like
you're the only other.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Person that watched Running Points. And dude, he's twenty four.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Why shouldn't a mom be out there protecting their kid
from the vultures. Not to say that Juju Watkins is
one of those people. She got that state farm money.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
She's got money.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Ye yeah, So.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
I'm not saying that's the case here, but I'm saying
she should be happy better than the mom to prevent
how many of these young athletes with these fat contracts
go down the wrong path and they're just with the
wrong people. Well, you see, you've seen the lobby of
hotels during the NFL and NBA Draft. There's trifling hose
just waiting for their payday. They try to seduce these men.
It's a thing, it really is now and it's so

(40:46):
easy to get caught up in.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I was saying, just bleep me out. What did I
say to hear the vulgarity out of Rich's mouth? It's disgusting?
What did I say? Uncensored? Listen to the podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, that's a guard tool, trifling h's Well, you know,
man about this, say trifling Hussies. That's how to hear
what Rich said. Be sure to catch the podcast unedited uncensored.
You ever see Yeah, do you ever see the see

(41:19):
the You ever see the hotel lobbies of an NBA
or in an NFL draft? Yeah, but this is a star.
No I know, No, I agree. I'm saying I think
he should be the mom should be pleased. This is
a young woman of of mary skill. But she's just
showing like, hey, you're gonna have to get through me first.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, she's sending a message to all female I.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Got his back.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
But to reference us again, our Danny, I think you're
the only other one that watched Running Point on Netflix.
The character that's played by Tom Hanks, kids Chet Hanks,
the star player on the team. He had the overbearing
mom that would go everywhere and try to, like, you know,
go into practice and help coaching, and like tried to

(42:03):
get him endorsements without his permission because she was just mom.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
She was there.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
So it's interesting, right, because a lot of times when
the mom's that close, you look at it as a
soft move, and I don't. Because let's say, let's say
my daughter, she's in entertainment, she wants to be an actress.
Let's say her her career takes off, she becomes the
next Uh had a Montana Hanna Montana. But by the way,

(42:29):
today you love anniversaries. I was Sam today. It was
nineteen years ago, Hannah Montana debut.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Are you serious?

Speaker 1 (42:35):
How do you know this? Why do you know that everything?
I was Samo two k? Yeah, exactly, Pop two K
nineteen years huge?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Mind?

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Why didn't we just wait till next year and then
been the whole twentieth.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
You think that when my daughter is a young woman
on her own, as her dad, I'm still not gonna
like be there to protect her decisions or at least
have her back or let someone know that she's accounted for.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
That's all the mom's doing here. It's your kid.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
What's Beyonce's dad's name again, wasn't he always known as
like a pain in the ass dad. Beyonce's dad is
Matthew Knowles.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
Yeah, he was longtime manager.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yeah, I know that's like, uh no, no, I just
think there's a level of like keep you distanced, but
look out, you can't control it. That's let me must
be real about that. You're never going to be able
to control other people, period. But you've got to hope
for people to get along and great decisions. And as
a parent, I don't I don't blame the mom at all.

(43:32):
He's a young man. In reality, he's still a young guy.
Good luck to Jayden Daniels and Juju Watkins and maybe
the mom could live with him too when they basically
and now it's time is it time? No? No, no,
time for last one.

Speaker 5 (43:51):
You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia lot.

Speaker 2 (43:55):

Do you think Colin's like my eyes and my my hair?
He does have great blue whyes looks it looks good
with that blow. So it's always an honor feeling for Colinists.
Now for us, and uh, before we go, Rich Mookie Betts.

(58:08):
You know we told the horrible story, horrible story of
Brett Gardner's son, former Yankee Brett Gardner. His son passed
away over the weekend and he was only fourteen years old.
The whole family fell ill on vacation, and I guess
it really really got to his son, his fourteen year

(58:29):
old son, Miller Gardner, who passed away, they say peacefully
in his sleep. When I hear what's happening in the
MOOKI bets by no means am I saying that it's
the same thing, But it would scare the hell out
of me because it seems like he doesn't know what's
going on, meaning like is this some sort of food
poison in John? Like, what's going on? He lost twenty
three pounds? I heard twenty five too, but I saw

(58:50):
twenty three pounds in two weeks. And when they're asking him,
are you okay, He's like, well, right now, I'm okay,
but I was throwing up earlier, Like the dude's.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Not okay, non stop vomiting, dude, he went he.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Weighs what one hundred and fifty seven pounds?

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Now that that reporter that was asking him like she
was awfully comfortable being close to him, I'd be like
when he's like, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Was throwing up moments ago, how you doing? What point
is I?

Speaker 1 (59:11):
I just hope it's not something serious, like like like
he has you know, like a sort of a parasit
a mystery illness or like you know, like you know,
I'm not I'm not combining all these stories respectfully. I'm
just saying I don't discourage international travel.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
That's you know, see the world, but ladly careful.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Lately there's been stories where do you see some of
these girls were on vacation and they had a drink
that had what was it methanol in it?

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Yeah, something like that. It was, yeah, and that that
they they both passed away.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
You know, we don't know anything about Brett Gardner's son,
which is such an awful story.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Mookis sick, like we don't know about. What we do
know is everybody there got sick.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Yeah, just be careful, man, It's just it's a sad story,
terribly sad story. And on a lighter note, the Mookie thing.
But Mookie is you know a star player that down
twenty something pounds like that, And he even said like
he said something about like he feels like his body
is eating itself or fighting itself. He can't keep anything down,
can't keep anything down. I mean, you think about a

(01:00:11):
guy who hits home runs in the big leagues. He
weighs one hundred and fifty something pounds. I think he
says his normal weight's like one seventy five.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Right, even that's light. Yeah, he's not a guy who
has a lot of weight.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
That's scary about it. This guy's supposed to play professional
sports at a high level. Yeah, when you're the Dodgers,
when you're the Dodgers. I'm not trying to, you know,
tell the Dodgers brass what to do. But give this
guy a couple of weeks, like you're gonna win one
hundred and twenty games. You're two to zero already coming
back from Japan. Because there's there's you know, people saying like, yo,
they're gonna throw him in the lineup on opening day,
Opening days.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
A couple of days away, let this guy wrest rich.

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
Maybe what they should do is, you know, they're two
and oh, but maybe they should go back to spring training,
which is a way.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
That's what they're doing tonight, which is changel weird.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Yeah, I know, I said that last week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
It's the weirdest thing in all sports to me, how
could you start the season in internationally and then go
back to playing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Exhibition freeway series. It doesn't count, it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Doesn't even matter. It's wild to me. Well, anyway, Mookie
feel better, and some tragic.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Stories and just yeah, I think that's a great warning. Hey,
international travels, great, have fun in Japan, have fun in
Costa Rica wherever you're going, but be careful, man, you
just who knows what the heck you're eating.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Now there's a story. We're gonna a story we're gonna
get to tomorrow. Two part story. Part of it has
to do with you, part of us to do with
Dan Bayer, and it's it has to do with let's
be honest, like sort.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Of a whole neighbor behavior.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yeah, Dan Buyer's got a really juicy story he had.
He had a bit of a squabble with his neighbor,
and so did I actually, but his involved sports, and
we'll tell you that tomorrow on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
It is a juicy one.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Yeah, you can confirm juicy juicy. I could see both sides,
but I'm team Bayer on this one. Has to do
with rules of neighborhood sports, which we all played as kids,
rules of decorum, and I mean, listen, when you were
a kid. You gotta remember your kid mindset versus your
adult mindset are completely different. I take pride in my

(01:02:11):
lawn and my flowers and everything now, but I was
a kid, I was like, you were playing man hunting,
hide and seek and run through neighbor's yards with no
regard what a little jerky are. Yeah, yep, so hey,
we'll get to that tomorrow on the show. If you
