(00:25):
called it, right always, that's of your on delay. So
two phrases. Tell me what has happened on this day?
Nineteen thirty seven? Oh, the humanity?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Uh, we actually have the drop of that. Oh, that's
the Hindenburg, the Hindenburg. Let me see if we have
the Uh, yeah, here it is.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh. I thought that was when Devin Williams blue the
lead again. Stop it, I got it. Maybe I shouldn't
have been allowed to grow a beer. I was gonna
say it. It's not too soon. It was nineteen thirty seven.
But do you know that happened in New Jersey. I
think a lot of people don't realize that happened in Jersey.
All the humanity. I think a lot of people think
that happened like in a foreign country. I think people
think it happened in like Germany or Austria. That's like Hungary,

(01:08):
or when you realize that, oh it's in Jersey. Yeah,
that happened in Jersey. It's like that weird fun fact
about the Titanic, like it's not that far away. We
think it's somewhere in Alaska Titanic. I don't think it's
all in Alaska. People say in Newfoundland area, which I
will think it's like really far. It's not that far
in England. To the grand scheme of right now, the
other one I was, Sam, Yes, did you get off

(01:30):
the plane? I got off the plane m twenty one
years ago today, twenty one years ago today, I was
dragged to a stupid party that I wish I never
went through. Fifty two million people watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I always want to get off the plane. I got
off the plane.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
She got off the plane. I don't know this what
you're alluding to, Danny J Friends Friends finale. Oh yeah,
I was fifty two million people watching the Friends guy and.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
The reason is yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
The reason that's why I remember who was think had
that big song at the time, and it was part
of the finale. Well. I have a theory that if
you if you have clear memories of the finale of Friends,
you're probably due for a klonoskab because that means you're
at least forty something because that was twenty one years ago.
Back in I was dragged to a friend's party with
a bunch of people who were big fans. I'm like,
this is the big finale you're all hyped about. I

(02:21):
had no reference points, so it wasn't that much fun
for me. Do you act like that shocking? You're in
your twenties and Friends was a big show and you
were dating a hot chick. You don't think she watched Friends. Yes,
she took me to her cousin's house for a big
Friends party. I'm like, this sucks. I feel like Beeves
and buthead, Yeah, this doesn't suck. You know what, You're
like the Mexican Ross, Like, what am I doing here?

(02:42):
That's not the worst show I've ever seen. You don't
have to be old rich.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Our fourteen year old a few weeks ago told her mom,
I found this show streaming.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's called Friends. Really great show. I mean, listen, thanks
for letting us know about it. Not my favorite of
all time. But to deny the popularity of that show,
and you know what, they were the first to do
something pretty cool, which was they were all in it together, right,
Like they all said, we're going to make the same
amount of money, which takes away the drama it does
and prop to them. I can't believe it's been that long.

(03:10):
To be honest, it's a major time stamp. I just
didn't watch it growing up. But yeah, of course I
acknowledged the popularity. So that was twenty one years ago.
Today it's crazy times times applying. Do you know who
wrote the theme song the Rembrands?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Was it them?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah? His name was a Hank Rembrandt. I was I
thinking of some group named the Refreshments. No, that's that's
that's another thing. This must be a local band in Iowa.
You grew up with this the look you said, Sam
saw them at a carnival in Iowa, the Refreshment.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
This is also the twenty strikeout day game for Carrie Wood.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah right, yeah, okay, A lot has just happened to this.
Thirty second we announced on the Doug Gottlieb Show, I
think five days ago that it was the carry Wood Day.
So we've yea no, you be right, Danny, I don't
know what it says ninety eight. I'm just saying. But
the funny thing with Iowa Sam is Iowa Sam loves
these little tidbits that he throws in, and I he

(04:11):
was you weren't sure about refreshments on this one, but
I so wish you would have said, And.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Of course that song played by the refreshments, I wasn't.
But you know, my typical not smug delivery. I know,
and I know Sam is the guy you love to
hate trying not to be that guy. I love you, Sammy.
All right, now, listen, let's get into it. Last night,
the NBA talk about two games that looked like they

(04:39):
were heading a direction, and both games last night ended
up going the other way. If you had turned on
that Nick Celtics game midway through the third quarter, you
were thinking, all right, this is a clear Celtics game
one at home victory. You know, Nick's coming off an
emotional series where you know they went to Game seven
and and you're like, oh no, not not at all.

(05:03):
Boston missed I believe it was, uh, Danny check my number?
Was it? Two hundred and eighty seven three pointers? They missed? Yes?
Forty something though, right, na lived by the sword, died
by the sword sort of thing. They just threw up
three pointers and kept missing. That's really it, and they
made sixteen out of two hundred attempts. Jeez. The Knicks

(05:26):
capitalized on that, and then Jalen Brunson at the end
of regulation he probably thought, oh, I had it and
blew it, but he didn't. Went to overtime, Nicks came
out on top. And then last night I had left,
I had I had a late softball game.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Oh really quick though, you got to mention MIKEL Bridges
because of course on both sides of the floor ended
that game no doubt.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Now I'm at the ball field last night, late night game.
I hate those nine o'clock games. You're like tired, and
you're like, oh, I gotta go have a game now.
All the guys watching on their phone and you're like, oh,
get us, game's out of reach. Look at this game
one okay, see one seed, better record than everyone all
year round. They're gonna win this one. And then slowly

(06:11):
but surely, Denver's chipping away goes on a little bit
of a run and talk about mismanaging the free throw game.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
At the end, h thirteen point nine seconds left, and
they decided, you know what, we'll play the free throw game,
the foul game, and it did not work out in
their favor as home Grin clanked those two and then
of course the shot over the top of them by Gordon.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
But let's not forget tool you blew it. Let's not
forget too though. Both Teams Nix and the Nuggies stole
one away, stole one away, So those are heartbreakers hard
to recover from. Now, you got to ask yourself the
question who blew it? Who blew it? More? By the way,

(06:55):
you quoting Billy Madison or Robert de Niro in copp
lamb see I go Madison, I know you go de Niro.
De Niro says, I gave you a chance to be
real copping you blew weed? And Stallone is like, yo,
late absolutely why why are you yelling at me? Le
Yo Bobby Bobby d Absolutely no, see I go Billy

(07:15):
Madison when Ernie's on the phone with you know those
are two Veronica Vaughan. Yeah, you, But people forget the
cop landline. It's very similar. So I mean, I I
am my answer, and I'll let you know and you
tell me if you agree or not, you boo, you blewhead.
I'm going sailor. Oh that's sailor. I think Boston could

(07:42):
very well recover. I think the Knicks are a great team.
I'm rooting for the Knicks. I think everyone is, except
Dave Portnoy, like, unless you're a Celtics fan in your diehard,
I think everyone's like. Celtics won last year. They have
a dynasty over the years. I feel the same way
Danny g felt. He hit us immediately with the text
you know we're watching the game, but to hit us
with man, they're showing signs of life where it looks

(08:03):
like they really could win. They might have that chance
to win, and we haven't said that in a long time.
About there's the Celtics fans that are still saying, oh, gentlemen,
sweep while you give the other team one game and
if very well could happen, the Celtics are your defending champions.
But our parents grew up with the Celtics dominating. We
grew up in a time of Larry Bird, We saw

(08:24):
Kevin Garnett. We've seen this team win throughout different stages.
The Knicks in our lifetime have never won the Starks
and Ewing Days, then you could say, well Era Spree
just they can never put it together. Then the Carmelo
playoff run, Oh yeah, that's right, the Carmelo era. Yeah,
they had some good squads and they had some fun

(08:44):
players to watch, so they gave you some reason to
root because they had fun players and you believed in them.
But they never amounted really too much. So I think
that that series is going to go six or seven regardless.
I could be totally wrong. I love they match up well.
I think it's fun to watch. The Knicks are for real.
But the Celtics again defending champions, I think they may

(09:07):
look back at that game that's why the series went wrong.
But I think Okase, for as dominant as they were,
and I know regular season at this point means nothing,
but we got to remember they were roughly twenty games
better than anyone else, Like it wasn't even close like
their one seed status. I bet you if you look
back over the last ten twenty thirty years of the NBA,
the difference between the one seed and two seed very

(09:30):
rarely is it that steep like Okse was. They pretty
much clinched the one seed like a month ago. To
make the point too, though, we're super pumped about this
because there's nothing really like playoff basketball, Like the regular
season is just for the most part, and then when
you see how intensive cats in the playoffs, you're like, damn,
why don't they play this way throughout the entire season?

(09:51):
This next level excitement. And the analogy goes, if your
woman is capable of freaky, deaky things in the bedroom,
but she reas derves it for holidays and your birthday
and things like that special occasion, it makes you think, well,
if you're capable of this, yeah, why not all the time?
What do you do You're naked hanging from the chandelier
and man, the stuff you do on vacation hunt. That's

(10:13):
how the NBA playoffs makes you feel. It's like, if
the NBA is capable of this, and I understand they
have to tiptoe around and not get hurt throughout the
regular season your kids getting in the way. That's just
such a major contrast from playoffs to regular season. So
of course you're pulled in and excited about it. It's
the time to tune in, guys. These games are insanely intense.
I've always said that the NBA Playoffs are like hotel sex.

(10:36):
So I've said it my whole life, but it really
is like amped up to a new level. That's it. Really,
NBA playoffs are like hotel sex. You nailed it, and
you wonder why can't it be like this all the time? Yeah,
vacation like vacation sex. Geez, Now I'm thinking dirty thoughts
and how much I love the NBA playoffs because don't
tell me you don't think why can every day be

(10:56):
like that?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Look at you prime to go? No, I'm just saying
that's how you you're sitting there because don't tell me
you're not watching these games. Like if the games were
this exciting all throughout the season, you'd be a hell
of a bigger NBA fan. We'd be talking about it
every day. And that's how it's been pretty much our
whole life. Well, it's nothing like NBA players the playoffs.
Like I said, why is hotel sex like the NBA

(11:20):
playoffs Because this preparation that goes into it. What happens.
You're going to Hawaii for a week, your wife's the spot,
and you're gearing up for it. I think the teams
have geared up for this moment and you're they're going
all out, holding back nothing. But it's so evident, man,
so evident they're they're doing whatever it takes. Yeah, now,

(11:43):
I think, okay, see back to them twenty games better
than everyone else. It was a joke how good they
were in the regular season. But it seems like an
easy argument to make. So I again, a young team,
they're playing a team with I'm with playoff swag and experience.
You said you took the words out of my mouth.
I think it's it's easy. It's an easy argument to
say best team, but young team. So when you lose

(12:06):
Game one to the team that won the NBA title
two years ago with You're possible, you know what I
call that? MVP you o kids now Yo, kich Sga
you are arguably your two best players. I call that
a mola ram. You know why Why Because the Nuggets
took their heart out, Goli mal It took the heart

(12:26):
out of this young TV yesterday. That's how I feel
about it. Could they turn it around be fun to see,
but to me, that's a heart ripper.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
It was the mismanagement of the clock, right rich that
I mean it has the Thunder winning this bad competition.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
When when you when you blow a game one, and
you can think of many series in the past where
one team had Game one sort of not in the bag,
but under you know, under control, and then they let
it slip away and that could really change the series.
I remember there was one NBA Finals where Lebron and
the Calves had Game one. When Lebron was with the Calves,
they had game one under control, and they let it

(13:01):
sip away to Golden State. One of the many years
they lost to the Warriors in the playoffs in the finals,
but game one on the road picking up a w
against ok See, that's got to give Jokic and his
you know team, and of course confidence in their coaches.
How about that look with Westbrook hitting Gordon with the
open three, and you take that every time, as he

(13:22):
said at the end of the game, like when you
got that open shot, you take it, and he made
it coming in clutch. You got to give props to that. Again,
that all comes with the composure and experience of being
there before. And the Thunder again have their back against
the wall saying oh nom schev home nom schevi, homnum schev,
and you got Aaron Gordon and Jokic being like gott him.

(13:44):
So it was heartbreaking, heart ripped out yesterday. But man,
we reaped all the benefits because that was fun to
watch as again a fan with no horse in the race.
That's just great basketball. Yeah, So hey, your thoughts at eight, seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox if you had to say who
blew it? Which goes to show you with all the criticism,

(14:05):
NBA still got it. You know, we spent a lot
of the year like, man, what's going on the NBA.
We've been We always do that. Yeah, but when it
comes to playoff time so exciting and I know Rich
you were making that case you know on our patreon
about hockey as well. But man, some great, great games
yesterday and again we'll take your feedback. So it's your
question who blew it more? The Celtics or the thunder Man.

(14:29):
That's a good one. I'd have to say the thunder
because more on on the line and at stake for
them to come back. When the Celtics have that experience
and have that confidence and inner belief of we've been
there before and we got this and we're the champs,
I think more for them more props to them. I
think the Thunder in a tough response. It's almost like

(14:49):
a like a mulligan like Celtics have been there, like
we'll start over fresh now. So I'm going to say
my answer to Thunder blew it more and the Thunder
haven't been this offident and uh, you know, projected to
be this good.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
The Thunder also were in position to win, like the
Knicks had a chance at the regula at the end
of regulation with a shot to win that Brunson's just
didn't go down. Now, granted the Celtics smiss to shot prior,
but Knicks could have got the ball back.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
But it seemed the Thunder and prime spot and let the.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Nuggets hang around a little bit more than they should
made some bad decisions of the final seconds and a
comeback comes back to bite.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Him, you know, for you know, for serious X M.
Covino and I do some music stuff overthing. He's on
the rock channels. I'm on the pop channels, and uh
not to break the glass. Once in a while, I
record stuff early, you know, for the next day if
I'm busy and I had to go back and change
things because when that game before I left for softball
last night late night, I'm like, a ten point lead

(15:47):
second half, you took a chance. I did the old
hey and congrats last night counting chickens, you know, congrats
to the Knicks and congrats to the uh the thunder,
and then I had to go back and be like, well,
mean changed that. Wow, I think we've all that I'm broadcast.
I think he also have to give props to not
only you know, Aaron Gordon and Murray and the usual
suspects Jokic, but Russell Westbrook's energy throughout this run has

(16:10):
been really contagious too. I think he's playing with a
lot of contagious energy, keeping the team hype, making great decisions.
We saw that last night. It just again, it's just
something I'm noticing, playing with the next level intensity.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
I also do want to say the energy is right
that it happened the kerry Would game. It did happen
how many years ago? Nineteen ninety eight, twenty seven years
ago today. Jay stew qualified it as saying that when
he brought it up last week, he was saying, this
was the week at the kerry Wood game anniversary. Will

(16:47):
do you guys don't have an eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Today, I would say eight years would be twenty seventeen. Yeah,
on this day.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
Sports are pop culture related like neither Iowa, Sam?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Do you know eight? No? Yeah, well it's my anniversary.
I got married and I heard you, uh, your wedding band,
the Refreshments.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
The Great holds forgetting, thanks for forgetting Sam. That was
one thing Dan just told me this, like within the hour.
I said, oh, how many years are you celebrating?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Eight years?

Speaker 2 (17:25):
And I flopped on that. I looked up the Refreshments.
They wrote the song called Yahoos and Triangles, which is
the theme song, and the King of the Hill.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it was two.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
It was two bands to start with r E two
nineties shows, and I just got.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Let's not overlook what Dan Bayer just said, not about
in the Thunder, not about the Celtics. We wouldn't know
it was TB's anniversary. But that was just to prove
that I was Sam didn't care or listen to something.
Within the I asked Dan how many how many years?
You said eight?

Speaker 2 (17:56):
And then I just forgot it just went out one
year in one You not care.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I did care have the anniversary though, thank you? That
is pretty cool man. Eight years ago today, any big plans,
some hibachi tonight or left over tacos.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
I said, I go, we're gonna get We're gonna go
to a hibachi, or we're gonna watch your Rocky marathon.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's all we're gonna do. You think she's never done.
I love that dB. Enjoy your anniversary. Thank you guys
like the NBA playoffs with your anniversary. Yeah, you know
what I mean. Dan's having some fun tonight. I know,
have fun. Respectfully, I know you're a big Kaitlin Clark fan.
Ioa Sam you bet you Today's Angel Reese's twenty third birthday.

(18:35):
Concress her nemesis. What you get her Reese's puffs? To
see you see her on the cereal in the supermarket.
That's a pretty cool endorsement. I'm a peanut butter crunch guy. Sorry,
I wanted to bring something up before we get to
your phone calls on who blew ish.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
You?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
I gave you a chance to beat the Nuggets in
you blue way. I'm going Sandler, that's my den like
that Celtics or Okay, see we'll take your feedback. But
I want to say there's a viral clip going around
today and oh the crabs in the airfryer. No, but
that's weird. I did see that crabs in the air
live crabs in the airfier sweep in the nation. People

(19:15):
think they're crying, but they're not. They don't have vocal cords,
but it looks like these crabs. But it still seems
extra cruel for whatever reason. Yeah, I mean, oh, I know,
is it how many don Zimmers? Can one hundred Don
Zimmers beat one Pedro Martinez? Was that funny? That's my
favorite new hypothetical. How many? Yeah? Could it one hundred
Zimmers or as one Pedro? I got it broken down

(19:36):
for you, can one hundred don Zimmers beat one Pedro Martinez?
Because Don Zimmer was seventy two at the time, which
put it in perspective, that's like our dad's age. Now
he looked way old, right, and Pedro was thirty one
in two thousand and three. So can one hundred and
seventy two year old Don Zimmers bet one thirty one?

(19:57):
Healthy Jerry Curl Having Pedro Martinez in his prime, now
I'm gonna say I'm taking the Zimmers, especially if he's
wearing those army helmets. Remember Don Zimmer with the Army
helmet in the dugout. He's a rhino. I think it
would take fifteen zimmers to beat up a pedro. Two.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, okay, I have a new one for you guys.
I came up with this one. Could one hundred Robin
Venturas beat one Nolan Ryan?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh no, yeah, yeah, I think you need like three
of them?

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Three No.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
I was gonna say a viral video today and it's
the ultimate in as they say, f around and find
out oh boy at the Pirates game and again all
this is a legend and what we're just seeing from
a YouTube clip, So what do we know the real story?
But apparently some fan was, you know, annoying some female fans.

(20:44):
The usher steps in and they take it to the
concourse and this fan bearded dude spits in this guy's face.
Ultimate insult, keeps spitting. Wow. This dude working at the
stadium has the look on his face like I've had enough. Yeah,
I mean that's I mean, what's more insulting than that.

(21:04):
Not only does he go to punch his guy and
punch him, he stands up, you know, he's in his
takes his belt down and he's like, yeah, mother. It
starts whipping the guy. This guy's been suspended from P
and C and the Pirates. But I'll tell you what, man,
You're working in a stadium, probably not making the greatest wage,
and someone thinks they could spit at you. I think

(21:27):
that's worthy. I think it's worthy to lose your cool.
He was pretty kind busting out the belt, and I
think that's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Actually, guy whooped his ass, specifically who got P and
C suspended the employee.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
But you know what, it's sam A lot of times
people think because someone works somewhere, they could do whatever
they want. Let me tell you a quick story. I
was working in New York City and behind the counter
with some like young hustling Latino kid. And was this
when you worked at the sex shop? Where in New

(22:01):
York City? This isn't Midtown? This is this had a
little deli, a little place. You weren't working, You're just there. Yeah,
I'm going to get a little muffin and a coffee.
And the guy behind the counter, young kid on his hustle,
some douchey corporate banker guys like, oh my muffin and
coffee players And he starts mouthing off to this kid.

(22:23):
And this kid eventually was like, yo, man, you can't
talk to me like that. He hops over the counter,
rips off his little little pastry shirt he had. He
had a tank top on and he was all tatted up.
He's like, yo, man, let's go respectfully, my guy, let's go.
And I remember thinking like, yeah, just because someone's on
the other side of the counter, people are so bold,
and especially when they don't care about their job. Yeah,

(22:43):
part time nonsense. You know. This guy's like, yo, you
think I care about this job? And I let you
disrespect my mama for a part time job. And all
I kept thinking was like, I got a front row seat.
I just watched, dude. I used to sit at a
broadcast booth at every live show broadcast. I remember, I
tell you the payoff to that story. Though, The douchey
corporate guy back down and he's like, well, you're lucky.

(23:08):
I gotta go. I have a very important meeting. And
he ran away. And he ran away y with very
important I'm an important meeting with very important people. So yeah,
he's traightened out real quick. But you know, we forget.
Sometimes they did the beat it dance when they weren't
really fighting. They were just like sort of dancing around.
But Danny, you've noticed that, right, Like sometimes people talk
to an employee as if like.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
We've all seen the viral eclipse of McDonald Some McDonald's
employees jumping over.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
People don't care. They think because you're behind the counter
that they could say what they want. As if you
can't reach over and punch him in the nose, again,
you're risking your job. But again, I'd be at a
live broadcast. I'd be at a corn at Madison Square
Garden and there would be fans coming up to you, guys, suck.
Your radio station sucks, and they would take all their

(23:58):
anger out on me. I'm just sitting there like at
a broadcast. You don't know how many times I just
wanted to step over and karate kick him, but my
job was too important. I looked at it like a career.
I know those rules of what we could say and
can't say on Fox Sports Radio. I'll say what they want,
but I will say this, Sam, get the finger on
the button in case I say something, because I know
there's rules about bathroom stuff. Cavino has a story where

(24:21):
some disgruntled rock fan was like k Rock sell out
your mainstream. The guy climbed on top of Cavino's K
Rock van, pulled down his pants on the hood of
the car. On the car. Yeah, he said, they were
the number two stations in town. Yes, the number two. Yeah,
because a lot of those college stations in New Jersey's WSOU,

(24:43):
they have their metal fans that looked at like terrestrial
commercial radio as like you gots suck. But it's wild
to think that because someone's working, there's an odd feeling
like you could be terribly rude to them.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
I thought that guy worked at carri A p. I'm
not sure I like it.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
It was that woman from Delco. Actually, I don't know
if you saw that. Yeah, that was really well. Yeah
with that damn Virol. Let's get to your update, guys.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
It's been a crazy afternoon in the Champions League semi
final between Barcelona and inner Milan.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Right now they are.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
In extra time and in stoppage time in extra time,
so one hundred and twenty minutes have gone by inter
Milan leads seven to six on aggregate. They lead this
second leg four to three, but just two minutes of
extra time, so Barcelona time running out for them inter Milan,
Oh so close to advancing to the Champions League Final.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
The Knicks came all the way back against the Celtics.
Mike Cowbridges finished off Boston on both sides of the court.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Hit it, Sam White has the ball, holes it high it,
throws it to Brown let wing, stripped bike, brunches hags
onto it, took it away, throws it down court and
the New York Knicks stunt the Celtics one oh Wait,
one oh file the final. The nex saved their biggest
comeback of the season for the biggest win of the year.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
From forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. And
by the way, that's courtesy of Knicks Radio Network. Your
tirect player of the day. Oh, I hope you had
a New York Knicks Nuggies sort of night. And thank
you guys for hanging out with us on this safe
demio as we get ready for Shack Diesel Trivia next hour.

(26:33):
Your chance to win a Swiggy the coveted Swiggy by
answering some multiple choice questions, but any final thoughts on
who blew it? Rich who blew it? I gave you
my answer. I feel like you didn't give your you
post questions.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I gave the.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Answer dummy answer it I said, okay, see blew it
because oh I thought you're saying okay, see, I didn't know.
I thought you kicked into old school gangster asha if
you thought I was pretending to be a gangster from
the nineteen twenties, my apologies. That's my answer is okay.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
See.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
It's because with SGA and that you know, they're younger
than the Nuggets. So there's a part of me that
thinks just because you're a superstar athlete does not mean
you're immune to subconscious pressure. Yeah, we agree that you know,
you might have been twenty games better than everyone in
the regular season, and SGA is arguably your MVP, him
or Yokic. Right, So what do you think about what
Dan Patrick was talking about today about guys like Aaron

(27:23):
Gordon being in the Hall of Good, the Hall of
very good, not a Hall of Famer, but like moments
like he had last night put him in the Hall
of very good. He's a champion. Cut shots. You and
I invented this. So as much as I love Dan Patrick.
In fact, he's, uh, you know, one of the guys
we look up to very much. But you and I
for years have been saying every sports hall of fame
very Rocky Balboa statement, he's like one of the guys

(27:46):
we look up up to very much. I look up
doing I look up to very much. But I think
for years, for years, I know, I know we're not alone,
but you and I have been saying that every hall
of Fame, music, sports, anything should have a wing where
it's not necessarily deadic catered to the greatest, but sometimes
the greatest moments, like in the rock and roll Hall
of Fame, like there should be a one hit Wonder

(28:07):
section in the in the world of sports, there should
be a section where it's like, Yo, this play meant
so much like a tyree, it's a Hall of Fame moment.
Like David's not a Hall of Fame player, but that
moment is a Hall of Fame moment. So yeah, the
Hall of moments, it should be a wing. I agree,
and Gordon has a few of those. Man, there's big
game players and I you know, since I'm the number

(28:28):
one coach here in Fox Sports Radio, I talked to
my kids about I talked to my kids about being
big game players because we started doing you know, our
playoffs with the girls softball, my daughter, and I'm like, yeah,
girls in baseball, in women's basketball, basketball, for men. You know,
there's something as a big game player where in games
like this you step it up because you see it

(28:48):
ever thrive under the bright lights in those pressure moments,
the big shot bobbies of the world. I mean to me,
it just says so much about who you are to
be able to step up when it counts. I mean,
to perform well when it doesn't matter, yeah, good for you,
but it's a next level accomplishment when it matters. Now,
I wanted to bring up one thing, and then I

(29:08):
know we're going to talk about times you covered for
someone in a big spot. There's a couple of stories.
But Kivino, I think I told you this once before.
Is it okay to teach little kids to play angry
in today's world? I don't know, Like he's weeny parents.
So today I have decided my son, yesterday we're doing
a little batting practice. I say yes, I say be careful,

(29:30):
so I'm trying. I think I'll tell you what I
did pass along a little info to some of the
other parents coaching. So I realized my son got really
mad at my daughter. He picked up a baseball and
threw it to me with the speed and intensity he's
never thrown a baseball before. Pay, mad, I go do
that again, Cause why I'm mad? I go throw mad,

(29:54):
I go pick up every ball there and throw it
to me. Mad. Yo, dude, he threw it twice as
far as he does when he's playing around in t
ball and I go, Yo, show me a mad swing.
He takes a bat. He's like, ah, isn't this the
teaching methods of Coach Klein from the Water Boy? You
think you're an original? Didn't he tell? Then he tell
the water Bobby Bouche the water sinks. Yeah, sucks sucks.

(30:20):
This guy's trying to see Coach Clin's playbook. That's happened already.
So wait, I hate him. I hate him. I hate
you're telling me that I'm taking a page out of
our buddy, Henry Winklers. What water sucks?

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Iowa hawkeyes in the field too all Henry Allian Winkler's
head with Iowa, you.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Know the best part of the movie. And he thinks
he invented. I thought I did. I guess not but angry.
What I told my son was, I'm gonna tell the
other boys on my team on my kids t ball.
Did that make your son? Bobby? So I told him
to go I always, I go, give me a hole.
I go, who's angry? He goes to the Hulk. I go,
Hulk throw incredible hulk. So you don't realize sometimes that kids,

(30:58):
kids are half ass in it until you tell them, like,
come on like that. Yeah, they don't understand the word
hustle in intensity? Do you understand that? Next Jinks There
is one though, I want to recommend to all the
sports fans out there and Dan Byer, I feel like
this would be right up your alley, Danny g your

(31:18):
men of history, your men of knowledge, maybe you two.
I would say, Now it's the mega brands. Oh yeah,
mega brands, the mega brands that built America. And there's
an episode all about Spalding and Wilson and dude, you
don't realize how innovative some of these men were in
the early part of the twentieth century. The late nineteenth century,

(31:40):
where you know, people were playing baseball in every game
in every league, had a different ball, a different size,
a different weight. They were playing bare handed. It was
a weakness, like you were a weenie if you were
a glove. And then Scalding Spalding was so respected as
a great athlete that he came out there wearing gloves
and people are like, well, Spalding, like I Votani came

(32:01):
out wearing you know something, people may say, well, if
he does, it's like when Ernie Petere's pants and Billy's
like if he and your pants was cool, consider me
Miles Davis, Yeah, same thing. It's like that because it
was cool immediately once it happened. And Spalding he was
that good. I don't want to give away the whole documentary.
But Spaulding then wore two like almost driving gloves that
turned into one with bigger fingers. And then who decided

(32:24):
to connect the fingers of the glove and make a
pocket of a baseball glove. I don't know these two brothers,
the Rawlings brothers. So honestly, if you're a sports fan,
this is right up your alley. And Wilson's involved. Enrique Wilson, right,
Oh no, not former utility infielder. He invented it a

(32:45):
mea factory who was trying to figure out what to
do with other parts of the animal, or maybe leather
sporting goods. And let's just say the NFL and the
then AFL, we're using a rugby ball, and Wilson's like, listen,
I can make you throw this thing better. I could
reshape it. Trust me, I'm Wilson, And to this day,

(33:07):
the Duke the Wilson Football is the official NFL football.
I only gave a couple fun facts. I promise it's
an hour of cool documentary knowledge. And that's the I
believe Mega Brands That Built America is. It's a great series.
I love the reenactments. I love all those shows. The
blank that Built America are all great. The foods that
Built America? But which is right? The Mega brands won

(33:27):
the one about sporting equipment. So I watched. I watched
the nacho, the Minato libre one. No. I watched the
Tostito paste salsa one once and I thought that was
that was fascinating because you realize that, you know, a
little white guys like me, hot sauce was not a thing.
And when they made salsa, they're like, we need to
make it bland and like, yeah, but bland sounds like

(33:48):
a negative word. American taste buds were not ready for that,
and now we're a customer, we're used to it. So yeah,
they had a they had to prepare the bland taste
buds for what we love today. So they about that.
Mild was the word they came up with because they
couldn't say Americans were allergic to spicy. Well, they couldn't
be like, let's make it blands for the white guys.
So they're like, well you mild, mild, there you go.

(34:12):
So these are all great things. That's the mild Rich
Davis was Sam's I mean, you got to watch these things.
I can't say basic or bland, but there he is,
the mild Rich days.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
I'm sorry I missed the network or streaming service. What
was it history check? Oay, okay, so if.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
You got Hulu, I feel like I just look on
Hulu like on demand, and it's so good. He's not
lying the blank that built America. They're all great and
it's no commercial. I mean, I watch a bunch of
dumb stuff on every streaming service. But if you just
want something light in the background, learn a little something
mm hmm. So you're saying you're Mile Davis. Like if that,
if that's what's cool, consider me Mile Davis, mild mild,

(34:46):
Sam I like it. So we're Cavino and Rich. We're
gonna play some games this hour again, giveaway prizes, like
we said, Shack Diesel trivia, doing that to get you
fired up for the NBA playoffs. But something we've been
meaning to get to. And it feels like these stories
keep piling up in the past few weeks. So perfect timing.
Now covering for somebody in a big moment. Do you

(35:07):
have a story of your own? I'd love to hear
about it. Did you Wally Pip the person I want
to hear. I want to know the story. Did you
Drew Bledsoe the moment? Did you step up and Tom
Brady the moment? Would it be a Tom Brady, No,
it would be drew Bledsoe. Well, here's the thing. If
they always called it a Wally Pip, wouldn't it be
a drew Bledsoe? Then it would be a drew Bledsoe.

(35:28):
So the times you had to cover for somebody in
a big moment, because these are frantic situations, but could
read the fine who you are and could be a
big moment for you, depending on the story in the
moment right. Most recently, Dennis Scott because the technical difficulties,

(35:49):
had to cover for Spirodd's and Candice Parker. So they
were having and he's what like a color commentator, he's
usually down sideline, dude, and they were having technical difficulties,
so he had to do the play by play and
step up. The main booth was cut off. And by
the way, you may think, oh, he's a broadcaster and
he's he's former player, but I'll tell you what. These

(36:14):
are separate skills. Guys. It's like it's like asking an
outfielder to play second base, you know what I mean, Like,
it's just not something that you do. Rich and I
are on the air every day just for fun. One
time we try to do baseball play by play and
we could pretend all day and we watch baseball. It's
not He's not easy to do that if that's not
your skill. It's like us trying to do what Dan

(36:34):
Byer does as an anchor. You know, that's not something
that we do. It's a different skill set.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
He had start he had to start reading off the teleprompter,
and then he jumped into the play by play.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Dude, that's scary, especially when you're not used to that.
And we've seen so many moments right a dance drab.
I started every time by going, it's up day time.
I'd have a whole gimmick. The start is the easy fire.
At the you gotta time that out. At the end,
Rich would go whoa, I'd go shaze. That music would

(37:04):
make me when Dan Byer goes, I'm Dan Bayer dun
dunt dun dun liking that hits perfectly. That's a skill, right,
it is not even skills. So you may think to yourself,
like a big deal. He had to do the play
by play. He's a basketball guy. If that's not what
you do, and if you've never done it on a
big stage like that, you know that's like you again
playing a position or doing something you've never done before.

(37:25):
The like oh man, So Dennis Scott stepped up for
Spiro DUT's candas Parker tech difficulties in an NBA playoff game.
Big moment. Now. Just this weekend, Kentucky derby Mike Turrico
apparently had a penut allergy. Yeah, bad reaction to it.

(37:46):
And I don't know that could be severe. I don't
know how bad it was, but because of that, Ahmed
Faried had a step in.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah, Soko tweeted that he was okay, he lived through it,
but he said he was grateful to the broadcast team
for stepping up for him.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
So think about that. You know, these are great opportunities,
unfortunate for them, but opportunities are knocking for these other people.
And I think everybody has a moment or could think
of a sports moment maybe where hey, that guy wasn't ready,
but he had to get in there and do his
thing and he had to step up, and you know what,
it was a big moment for that guy. My career

(38:24):
have a stupid, stupid story, but it gave me the
chops and understanding of Okay, well, I guess I could
do this coming up in radio. I remember I was
at Jones Beach, New York, great concert venue, outdoor venue,
and it was for I don't know, like a this

(38:45):
big festival concert that Kay Rock New York was broadcasting
from right And this sounds stupid now, but back then
it was a big deal. Booker who's an iHeartRadio host
Chris Booker was supposed to interview Collective Soul. So this
is like the late nineteen hundreds, right, but again, Collective
Soul not the biggest fan in the world. But after

(39:06):
sh Shine is a good song. Love that song? Are
you kidding me? The world? I know? Make you cry? Right?
December hit me up with some Collective Ay my contagious
has it?

Speaker 4 (39:18):
The guy?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah? Right, So they had a bunch of hits heavy,
let's gel so but Shine is a good one. And
for whatever reason, Chris Booker is stuck in traffic. I'm like,
oh man, I was the only idiot there first to
be their last to leave when you're coming up, right,
that's just the role you played. I'm hanging up banners,

(39:40):
the only guy there. Bull was like, yeah, this is
your time, stay. You got to interview Collective Soul. I
mean again, looking back, it's Collective Soul. Whatever. We've done
this a million times. But when I'm a young kid
and I'm buying their CDs, They're the biggest thing in
the world to me, right, it's the world I know.
And I'm like, oh man, I remember being so nervous,

(40:01):
but I had to do it, and I had to
step up and fill in for Booker and it was
just on those recording It wasn't a live broadcast. But
I had to step up with the Moran system, as
Danny g probably remembers. You remember those like handheld recording
devices and you had to be so careful and certain
that you were recording it and the levels were right
and just pray that it came out okay. And I'm recording.
And I did that interview a Collective Soul and I

(40:21):
was just like barely twenty man if that. And I
just remember at the time I had to step up
because he was late or didn't show up or was
sick or whatever the case was. And for me at
the time, it showed that I'll step up if needed
and I could handle these things. I mean, I sucked,
but I still did it, and it showed me that, yeah, man,
maybe I can do this in the future. Who knows.

(40:43):
And that's happened twice in the broadcasting world in the
last week. So just in the last week, just coincidentally,
you know those times you covered and you know, maybe
got an opportunity. I have an example for like every
part of life. It happened to me in sports too,
I got more star I have a sports example, because
he's a young award winner, a guy that we think
of as one of the most dominant pictures of our generation.

(41:06):
Jacob de Gram got called up as a spot starter.
He was a minor league shortstop who was transitioning to pitcher. Yeah,
and you think about if the Gram has a bad start,
what do they do? Yeah, go back to the miners
and see what happens. Jacob de Gram took that and

(41:28):
ran with it and became a generational pitcher. Oh yeah, again,
that's stepping up in the moment, you know, taking that
moment and as what we're talking about the times you
had to cover for somebody, how about this one? It
could have been a Nightmare's let's go back roughly, you know,
forty to fifty years LA Lakers Jack McKinney gets in

(41:49):
a bicycle crash. We saw it on Winning Time. Pat
Riley was, you know, a young, hungry assistant that gave
pat Riley his way in the door and never looked back.
In fact, the team was then given to him. Do
you have a personal story, Rich I do, but it's
a really corny one though I want to hear it.

(42:11):
That's I mean, you're the corniest guy now, so I'm
brand as far as I'm concerned. Let's hear it all right, Well,
it's a really corny example. Guests for real, like go
like corny. Like it makes sense because it reminded me
that I don't really I don't get scared at broadcasts
or anything like that. I don't think my collective Soul

(42:32):
story was the coolest we compared to the story. I
can't wait. Let's hear it. So. I was in a
school play my senior year. Why are you laughing at
the start of the story, because he's probably like the
fill in for little Orphanani. That's when Rich saying tomorrow
and everybody cried. They gave him a standing up and

(42:52):
the rest is history. Now the night of the performance
the hard Knock life for me. So it's a corny
play too. Anything Goes?

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
I was in the Broadway show Anything Goes as a
senior in high school. And the girl that was the
opposite lead of me, I was the lead guy. She
was the you know, the actress. She had like a
laryngitis anxiety attack combination where a concert we had a
duet and as corny as is, like I would sing

(43:25):
a line, she would sing a line. I would sing
a line, she would sing a line, and that was
like the that was like the main song in Anything Goes.
She gives me a look like my voice is gone.
So right there on the song, instinctively I look down
and you know, like the pit conductor for the band, yeah,
looks up at me and just points at me. And

(43:46):
for the rest of the song, I sang my part
and her part and made it seem like it was
just my song. And at that moment, I'm like, I
think I could be a professional broadcaster. Wow. And then
for the following show, for the encore later on, Rich
painted one side like a woman and he would just
flip side and again he won a high school acting award. Wow, dude,

(44:08):
that's a pretty cool story though, because that happened like
live in the moment, She's like, I can't sing. She
tried to get the first line of oh that is yeah,
that's a matter of nerves and yeah, and I was
just like all right, and I just started singing her
words step up. You know again. You see this in
real sports all the time, in real life all the time.

(44:28):
We have two stories in the past few weeks that
were sharing with you. Times you had to step up
in those moments, and you know their nerve wracking. Sometimes
you deliver, sometimes you don't. But if you don't, were
you really expected to anyway, right, So it might be
a little embarrassing, you know, it wasn't on you. I
have a good fictional one, but it's a great example
of this. I actually liked your story, by the way.
It's just corny because yeah, it's high school. I got

(44:49):
a high school one too. We all watched. I mean,
I don't know if you did. We talked about friends earlier.
How I Met Your Mother was one of my favorite
shows in the two thousands, and there's an episode where
Robin Chabotsky played by Kolbe smoulders. Robin is a news
anchor on the local like Channel one local news. It
was a big New Year's Eve event and that you know,

(45:11):
the funny guy that's like the sexual harassing balls She
had Samby Rivers on New Year's Eve, the big ball
drop broadcast. He dips away to get with some woman
and like someone's on in five four three and she
grabbed the mic and that was like her big break.
So it's like, you know, a lot of times. You know,
you gotta take that moment and run with it. A
la Tom Brady, A lah, you know Lou Garriy, Lou

(45:35):
Gary Golla, Me and the Broadway Show. These are all
great moments and shaking de gram. I mean, how many
times do you see dude? We're talking about him during
the commercial break in the hallway, Me and Big Brandon here,
both Niners fans. Brock Perdy could very well be a
backup quarterback, maybe not even the league, making seven eight
hundred thousand dollars as a backup, maybe a million Jimmy

(45:57):
g goes down before that Trey Lance doesn't work out.
Brock Purdy seized his moment more than anyone else. I
can't even think of him the last five years. The
guy's gonna end up making over fifty million dollars a
year because he was given an opportunity and he was ready.
That's purty great. Yeah, he might be like the greatest
answer of that since Tom Brady. I know that sounds

(46:19):
crazy because he hasn't accomplished that much, but Rich is right.
He would have been just a regular quarterback. Mister. No
one talked about man barely getting by talk about he
would have been forgotten. We're talking about shad Or Sanders
in the fifth round, and I was like, oh my god,
brock Purdy was the last chosen in the draft, last
person chosen, Like, all right, and the draft is wrap

(46:40):
it up? Who's funny, mister irrelevant? Brock Purdy, he didn't
think it was that funny. He got a chance, and
you know what he was probably thinking. He had faith
in himself and said, if I ever get a chance, man,
I'm gonna show them what I got. Even as you said,
they would always talk about in in practice, Guys like
Fred Warner and respected defenders would say, when this kid
gets a chance, you see he wants it. There was

(47:01):
an American League Legion championship game I was in and
it was from thirteen to sixteen. The team I was
on and the sixteen year old All State All American
I'm not exaggerating, like All American, All State athlete that
I played with. M You're probably on the thirteen year
old team as a six year old. You're like Daniel Monte. Yeah, no,

(47:21):
I was. That was thirteen, right, And the guy pitching
the championship game was the guy you had all the
confidence in the world in like, oh man, he's pitching.
He's no longer alive unfortunately, you know, but shout out
to him. But he's pitching the championship game. And he
comes out and like the second inning with like elbow
flare up. It's like the same. No, it was like
the first inning, second first inning, and they're like, Covino,

(47:44):
I'm thirteen year old kid. I'm like, I'm pitching the
championship game. Had no. I was not expecting that dude
pitched it won it. And again that's just one goofy
little story that happens time and time again, over and
over and over. But again the times you had to
step up in Live and deliver, hit us up at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, and now, well

(48:08):
you know, I thought it one more. I'm sorry, just
one more quickie. Because it doesn't always work out. I
just want to give you the flip side. We're talking
about the people where you get an opportunity it doesn't
work out. You know who we always forget who unfortunately,
the spots starter that gives up six runs in the
first inning, the backup not always a good the backup
quarterback who throws three picks, and is like, all right,
he's never going to get another chance the NBA. You know,

(48:30):
player that gets a shot in the G League to
be on the squad plays the thirteen minutes, you know,
turns the ball over and gets no point. So I
don't want to bring up weird memories, but I heard
of broadcast recently where some guy was like, you can't
be broadcasting here, and an anchor that works here had
to take over the broadcast like mid broadcast. It was
pretty sweet, you know, it was a pretty sweet transition,

(48:52):
like almost like flawless scene in the middle of an interview,
in the middle of an interview.

Speaker 5 (48:56):
Doo, And that guy is still at the anchor desk
to this day after that, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Looking at this guy right now. He had a great job.
Not all heroes wear capes.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
I know.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
But again, that's like stepping up. You see, these things happen.
And that's what happened twice in the past few weeks
again Dennis Scott and who was it again for I'm
in for Reid. You know what, backup quarterbacks in college,
a lot of times someone goes down and you hope
that maybe that guy has his opportunity. You see it
at Alabama all the time because they have but you know,

(49:25):
they're pretty deep. Next guy up gets a chance, whether
it's young or before that too. You know, it's always
a guy that's getting a shot. I always think back

on the board. So far as we go to round two,
Round two? What was I once quoted saying about leadership? Hey,

slammed them awake with a monster dunk. B our coach

I say about leadership? Damn buyer. I'm gonna say, B
No Austin.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
For the steel Yeah, see yes, sir, generals don't panic,
then the troops never panic.

Speaker 5 (54:29):
I just couldn't think that Shack or Danny g would
make up that quote. Shack had such a hard time reading.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
But I have something in my eye.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Dan Rich and Austin both on the board as we
moved around, hold and didn't.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Shack also say a go with the general and save
some time?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Okay, al right? Just checking round three?

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Now, which former NBA player has the highest career free
throw percentage? He Mark Price, b Steve Nash or c
Rick Barry Austin.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
I go Steve Nash, yes, but Austin. It walks away
with a C n R swiggy Steve Nash. He also
gets shout outs from who Steve Nash gets a show.
Oh that's a good leasure, eminem no Steve, oh no,

(55:26):
I forget. But she got a big dumper. What's her name?
You know the girl she sings? Uh, there it is,
shouts out Steven shatover.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
From the line.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
You know what's so funny? I was so sure of myself.
And by the way, congrats Austin, you got that swiggy
with the swaggy when you were saying that question, Shack,
I wrote down before you even give the answers that
I wrote down Mark Price. I was for certain because
don't you remember we were kids like that was the
one thing he was known for, Like free throws.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
That was Steve Nash highest free throw kind of the
opposite of me. But thank you, guys. I have to
work tonight. I have things to do. It's always fun.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Well to specify to for former players, because obviously Steph
Curry is tops on that list.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
It'd be realistic, guys. I'm not saying any of us,
Shack baby later be realist. Realistic. None of us here
play pick up basketball like we're Jason McIntyre from The herd.
None of us are coach Gottlieb that have you know,
constantly on the court with their their team. If I

(56:37):
gave you one hundred free throws, yeah, but I played.
If I give you a hundred free throws and you
put money on the line, like money on the line,
what would you guess would be your percentage out of
one hundred shots free throw? Bike? Do we get any
practice or warm up? Or is this coming off the bench?
You can warm up? If I said, Danny, you can

(56:58):
warm up right now we started four o'clock Pacific yard,
Like twenty minutes a warm up. You could shoot around, dribble,
get some water, whatever you need to do. But I said,
in twenty minutes, right now, I'm gonna give you one
hundred free throws. You could take a couple of breaks.
They don't need to be all in a row. Give
an hour, take a hundred free throws? How many are
you hitting? I would do it for fun, but how
many things you're getting?

Speaker 3 (57:19):
I would say we'd be lucky to get forty out
of the huntre Danny's correct, I'm.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Thinking over sixty. Because once you get in rhythm, once
you find out real Yeah, a rhythm is gonna get.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
I think in our heads we think we could get sixty,
but realistically forty.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Really.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
I don't remember when in the season it was, but
I distinctly remember at one point in high school I
saw my stats and I was a fifty seven percent
free throw shooter. Oh really, yeah, I and I felt
I was I was good. Yeah, Like no, I didn't
think I was good. I was just appalled at how
bad that it was. I'm like, wow, I'm that only

(57:52):
fifty seven percent? Yeah, I you know, dB.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
I was going to say, I would be very impressed myself,
and I consider myself I'm a pretty athletic, active guy, right,
I would say I'd be impressed if I could hit
fifty percent, Because Steve Nash ninety percent. That is pretty sweet.
I think you're It's like one of those things where
the average idy of things they could do more than
they can athletically, which is why they have shows like
remember Pros Versus Joe's Petros was the host of that.

(58:19):
I don't know, it's it's a good question. In fact,
I feel like, if we're bored one day, why don't
we take the physical challenge? Go across the street? Twenty
four hour fitness shoot some out of one hundred. I
would do it for the fun of it, just to
answer the question. Let's let's take the physical challenge. Who
would come in last place? VJ Husky spot VJ Husky

(58:41):
would come in last place. He'd be like, ah, my
muscles are hurting. Ah, I told you, I told you,
I told you my muscles hurt. You would get tired.
The only reason I lost because my muscles are too big.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
I think Vj's hooper, guys just hating vj's hooping went
way more often than we think. I think I'd probably
be the one who'd end.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Up in last Really, come on, Sam, you tell let's
do it one day. Speaking of Preset Fox Sports Radio,
one of the other shows we're very friendly with, great guys.
Kelvin and Rob Parker love the odd couple great guys.
I want to settle a debate. I'm sure they may
tell you about this on their show at some point.
Kelvin put on Instagram story settle a debate. Do adults

(59:23):
eat cereal with milk on a daily basis? How often?
And the options were yes all the time, some days
rarely or what am I a kid? I saw this
rarely for me. However, I'm a former serial killer when
I was a kid. That's all I ate. Don't tell
my mom that though, she's offended. So there's a couple
questions here. Number one, what are the foods that were
out of your life for decades? Then you have kids

(59:46):
and it re enters because that's cereal for me, Like
I probably went twenty years of my life probably from
twenty to forty without cereal, and then now your kids
are in the mix. Come back? Yeah, like fruit roll
ups are in my pantry. You're eating gushers again. Ye,
So I'm gonna go. I'll rare on occasion, maybe a
late night edible or if I'm just got the munchies
or something, I'll pour a bawl of cereal if you

(01:00:08):
had to give me your go to cereal mm hm,
like my one to live on. I'm so torn because
my debate, my inner debate, is fruity pebbles or cinnamon
toa's crunch And I can't decide. But hold on, here's
my question. Is it without any repercussion? Like I could
just eat them for those of my life and no calories.
It's like when you it's like when you go to

(01:00:29):
a if I had to stay healthy out and pick
the lame choice. When I when I, when I, when
my wife and I are like a bakery, I always say,
look in the bakery thing. If calories didn't matter, what
would you house right now? So it's the easiest question again, formercy,
I'm like the dexter of cereal. I house this. I'm
a serial killer. My answer is cocoal pebbles number one,
all day, eat it by the box because it always

(01:00:50):
came in a like slightly smaller box. I would eat
them at a box sitting, so you go because you
get that chocolate delicious milk at the end. Coco pebbles
my answer number one on the board. I mean I
would I would argue that cocoa and fruity pebbles are
equally good. See but to me they taste like tricks
a little bit fruity pebbles. I don't not like foody pebbles,

(01:01:11):
But coco pebbles is my answer. I'd say Cocoa puffs
is right up there. You're the puff kind of guy, huh.
For coco puffs, I would say, what's your go to
sugary terrible for your cereal?

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
This is gonna sound lame, but my favorite cereal is
rice checks, which is like people make checks mixed popul
rice checks with like two percent milk. To me, it's
just something satisfying. We used to put spoonfuls of sugar
on top of that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Cereal in my family, Cheerios or rice crispies like plain
seal cinnamon, like honey nuts. My family we ate bootyos.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Broo frosted flakes was a go to too when we
were kids.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
But I mean, I feel like I'm the only one
that even brought up cinnamon toa's crunch? Is this not?
You know? Crunch is good? Yeah, we have that in
our pantry right now, cinnamon toes. It's gonna be calling
Danny's name late tonight. Like you know what I eat,
the healthy granola cereal. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
My favorite sugar's is a special K with the chocolate
and strawberries special. It's like a divorced mom's favorite cereal.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
That's it. That is a good one like that one.
But yeah, my answer Coco pebbles. What's your answer? And why?
Because they post this Kelvin post. Yes, I say cereal
for an adult like once a week. My dude Kelvin
k dub live on Instagram. Vote for yourself. Are good
friends at the Odd Couple who are on Fox Sports
Radio right after us. But I'm gonna go some days.

(01:02:29):
I'm gonna vote some days remember that variety pack. Yes
some days.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
Because you have little rug reds and Rob Parker loves
to save money, I think that he would probably get
corn flakes and put his own sugar on top.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Parker jacks Wait is Rob the type of guy that
buys the store brand like I like tasty Ohs, not
not cheerios, tasty taste. We'll see you guys tomorrow. See
you in the promise Land lit It guys,
