John Brincus lost John Brancus of ESPN's Sports Science over
the weekend, always a real nice guy on our show.
And if we do have time, we'll pay a little
bit of a tribute of some of the things you learned.
Either way, I wanted to get that out. He was

(01:44):
always a nice dude. Mental health is wealth. Lost his
battle with depression at the age of fifty four, but
really always a kind guy and always enjoyed what he
did on ESPN. Well, on today's show, let me give
you a little tease, all taste of what's coming up.
We are gonna give away prizes with last one standing.
We're gonna talk about those weak ass bets you've made,
or the times in life where you've thrown away money,

(02:05):
where you've invested in the dumbest thing, or maybe just said, wait,
I just gave money to this guy for what and
it didn't work out, So we'll talk about wasting money.
We're gonna talk about Livvy Dunn. She's calling out all
the middle aged creepers. I say, sure, but I have
a questions like you. I have a question to start
the show with that has nothing to do with Libby

(02:27):
Dunn's the perfect gymnast body or Josh Allen's wedding or.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Anything perfect gymnast body. Oh you said it that way.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I mean, yeah, Rich was one of those creepers in
our pre show meeting.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, just because he was smiling when he said it
doesn't make him not a creepy.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Perfect I'm sorry. What is she like? Not in shape?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
She not the you know, sports illustrated, violented gymnast, beautiful gymnast.
But what has she been known for over the last week?
I don't know, posing for Sports Illustrated looking at all?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Good looking?

Speaker 5 (02:59):
No?

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah. As we were discussing the story about creepers. Rich
was showing us pictures on the song. Look at this one,
Look at this.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Lucky Paul skeins.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Anyway, we'll get to all of that, but I do
want to start with a question that might sound like
a no brainer. So I'm gonna take an element out
of it, because sometimes a hypothetical is too easy because
it's like, well, obviously this one for you know the
financial reason. So I'm taking away money.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
How about that.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Salary taken away? Okay, salary taken away? Currently in twenty
twenty five, right now, right now, would you rather be
a Colorado Rocky or Savannah Banana?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Right now? On do Ste Junio?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Would you rather be a Banana or a Rocky? And
I said the caveat take the salary away, because you
could say, well, obviously, Rich, you know you're a major
league baseball player. With any tenure, you'll make millions. Blah
blah blah. I get it, So take away the millions
of dollars. I'm talking about simply the fun playing ball.
What's going on? Would you rather be a Savannah Banana

(04:03):
or a Colorado rock It's a great question because we're
coming off the weekend where there was so much buzz
out here on the West Side, so much buzz period
for the Savannah Bananas. They played in Anaheim, sold out crowd,
The Great Hambino was there. Patrick Renna showed up and
he was calling his shotol the Hambino from you know,
the Sultan swat the Great Hambino.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
From the Sandlot. I'm baking like a toasted cheeseer out here.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
And there was a lot of pressure on him to
at least make contact, and he did, but the crowd
went nuts. There's always a sold out crowd nowadays. They
sold out Fenway. They're selling out everywhere. So think about
all the buzz and all the fun they're having. Women
love them, by the way, Women love the Savannah Bananas.
And the Colorado Rockies are nine and fifty right now,
last in the and the NL West got a factor

(04:52):
in how much it sucks to lose?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Can you repeat that record for the people in the
cheap seats.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
They're nine and fifty, double that up there on pace
for being eighteen and one hundred with like forty games
to go.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
They're on an eight.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Game losing streak, third fastest team in MLB history to
get to fifty losses.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
They're one in nine in their last ten.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
So think about how dismal, les miserables, how frustrating it
must be to make it to the big leagues, right
like you're one of the few, You're you're one of
the chosen. You made it to the big leagues and
you're playing for this team where it's almost like bittersweet
because you're playing major League Baseball. But you're the weakest,

(05:32):
You're the worst. I'm a big baseball fan. Everyone on
that team probably hates each other. You and I are
big baseball fans. But my son, his first year in
T ball, he happened to be his team is the
Rockies and he's like, Dad, who's on the real Rockies?
And I'm like, no one knows, buddy, Du're The only
thing cool about the Rockies is that their logo is CNR,
Covino and Reto.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
But I got to ask for real take away the money.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Would you rather still be able to say I'm a
big leaguer, I'm on the Rockies? Or is there something
so cool about being a Savannah banana right now? And
I say that because everywhere they go they sell out.
As as Drugo's wife said, oh I'm sorry, his trainer.
Everything he hits, he destroys. Everywhere they go.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
They sell out.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Our buddy Drew Mack and Nashiell just hit us up saying, guys,
three weeks ago they sold out Titan Stadium, which held
sixty plus thousand people in minutes.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
The type Titan Stadium.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
We say they're the current day Globetrotters, but I'm not
sure the Globetrotters could ever do that ever.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
This weekend, could they? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
This weekend in Los Angeles, you had the Yankees coming
to town, and I'm not saying it was a bigger ticket,
but I heard just as many people talking about how, hey, my,
you know, one of the kids went down to Anaheim.
The you know you Savannah Bananas were playing where the
Angels play.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
It almost had equal level of chit chat.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
By the way, that's a goofy point, but a true one.
It really is. We're out here on the West Coast.
I went to the Yankees game yesterday, the World Series rematch,
a World Series rematch where the Dodgers just embarrassed the Yankees.
But then the Yankees won the last one with Yamamoto
on the mound, So that was cool. I was there,
it was a beautiful day, and you're right, Rich, there

(07:15):
was more buzz about the Savannah Bananas than there was
about the Yankees Dodgers. That's no joke, at least from
what I experienced and what I heard people talking about
in my algorithm. In my algorithm, I saw more people
commenting on Patrick Grenna the Great Hambino than Sleeping in
the dug Way. Maybe because both Judge and Show. Hey,

(07:37):
well they put on a show the first two games,
but they were both hitless in yesterday's game, so they
were like an O for eight combined yesterday or something
like that. But either way, we do post this question.
I would even well, I don't know, I was pushing it.
You think Savannah Bananas could beat the Rockies at this point?
I mean just a spirit alone, you know, they could,
you know what, maybe on spirit alone. Maybe if they

(07:58):
on stilts with flaming bats.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know, but I think that question sort of
goes to, you know, when they could beat the Panthers,
and it's like, no, the Panthers or whoever would be you.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Know, taking it overboard, because they really stake you got
that just a couple of weekends ago they beat your Yankees.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It was heartbreaking to get their ninth win, I know,
and that feels like forever ago, Danny, that was the
last time they wont you're comparing now, that sounds like
you're comparing the Rockies like the Washington General. I'm joking,
but the Rockies or the Bananas, My ego gets in
the way if you take money out of it. There's
still so much clout and and and cool.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
And saying that you're major league, big leagueer yees.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
So you could maybe be the one to help them
turn it around.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, I would have to still pick the Rockies, even though, well,
Savannah Bananas, they really are rock star. Let me give
you the flip I was gonna say, if you're a
Savannah Banana and the people that follow them are starting
to really know the guys on the team like household names. Right,
If you go to an arena or stadium or ballpark

(09:05):
where fifty sixty thousand people are watching you, music's playing,
they're getting involved, how does that feel versus eight thousand
people maybe watching you lackluster performance in Colorado? Yeah, they're
pulling a way bigger crowd and they're pulling way more women.
That's the truth. So if you're a single guy on

(09:26):
the prowl, did you call me the purv earlier? I'm
just saying that has to factor into it, because you're right,
eight thousands show up to see the Rockies.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
You get sixty.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
How many thousand people to watch the Savannah Bananas, And
a lot of them are.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Families, but beautiful women.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Even my girlfriend's like, I want to see the Savannah
Bananas and I'm like, for what, why?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Who's in your algorithm? Your Savannah Bananas not good enough? No,
But DANNYJ.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Women find these guys high and they're entertaining, charming.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
They think it's like a fun event because they're hearing
that it's the thing to go do, and they are
seeing these reels.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
The hot ticket, it's the hot ticket, and it sounds
like such bs. But on social media, the popular guys
on the Bananas have like millions of followers, where if
you're saying you're on the Rockies, like again, you could
be a big baseball fan and and maybe name a
few guys on that team.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
It really is a I'm just.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Giving the Bananas some AMMO because it seems obvious that
playing in the Big leagues would be the number one answer.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Everybody out the dream said take the money away.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, but you can't take away my child the dream
of wanting to play Major League Baseball. And that's why
we have to always keep in mind that you want
to you want to be on the team with the
worst record in baseball history. No, I'm saying, people on
sports radio US included, are always talking about these guys
who we dreamt of being someday. So always keep that

(10:54):
in mind. Like what we say is really coming from
a place of no matter what, they're still doing what
we all do dreamt about doing. So I would say
Rockies all day. Even though this savan and bananas are
the hot answer.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
You know what adds to the allure of the bananas too.
You know how, there's if there's a girl that you're
like feeling it about, but like let's say, she can
sing really well, she has a talent, and that sucks
you in, makes her even makes her even hotter. The
savanna bananas, let me get Don't get me wrong, they're
very attractive, yeah, but that fellas handsome fellas, but the
fact that they can like dance and do you know,

(11:25):
flips and they fun have bats on fire. It's like
that element just makes them like a hundred times more alluring.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Hey baby, I can do a backflip.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Hey on exactly.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
And along those lines, guys, as you're talking about this,
I'm doing some random Twitter research and a young lady
posted about a banana named Jackson Olson.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Quote.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Just met the modern day prince charming Jackson Olson. He's
even more perfect and charming in person. And he promised
me more Jonas Brothers bananas content is coming.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Whatever you know, you know is not getting that attention
Hunter Goodman, And you're thinking, who's Hunter Goodman?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Who the guy with the highest batting average.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
And most home runs on the Rockies with a two
sixty five batting average in seven home runs.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Two sixty five nowadays is like three point thirty, So
that's not too bad.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
So answer the question, Isaac Loncron, would you rather be
money aside a banana or a Rocky.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
I'd rather be a banana than a Rocky. And we
did not arrange this before, but for reference, Jackson Olsen
I'm looking at it right now has four times more
ex followers than Hunter Goodman.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Not making that up, which matters in today's world. I
know there's a lot of people like, who cares? Hey,
people care. Sixty something thousand people are going to see him.
They sold out Anaheim this weekend, The Great Hambino, the
the Sultan of Swat. So you say Rocky Isaac, I
say Rana Danny J. What says you? I'm with Covino.

(12:55):
I would go Rocky Isaac. Lonecron and me are on
the same page because I rather be a Savannah banana
for real, dude, for real, for.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Real, for real.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
We get there appeal.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Good one.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
My wife if town without banana, well rich loves karaoke.
So there hold on in itself. I like we knew
his answer would be a banana.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Putting on a show. And I feel like this is
a show tap dancing putting on a show. And you
know what, I went to the Yankee game yesterday and
it was a great game against the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I like, they're doing something. I'd never seen this before,
Danny you probably saw. It was called cardio cam. You
know how every stadium does the Great City Subway Race
or the Sausage Race or kiss cam. They did cardio cam.
And he had all these little fat Vato kids running
as fast as they could in place, and they were
going down the stadium. Was so much fun and I
was dying and you're trying to put that up against
Theva bana. But I was telling my girlfriend like, oh,

(13:48):
that's funny.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
She's like, why don't they have cheerleaders. I'm like, why would.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
They have cheerleaders? And she goes, well, I don't know,
entertainment factor. It's a ballgame and you're having fun and
there's fifty thousand men.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
She's looking at all the Japanese advertisements at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
They have cheerleaders in Japan. She's like, maybe they would
do that, just make it more entertaining, like the Savannah
bananas and like they do in Japan.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm like, well, you know what, maybe based on all
the popularity the Savannah bananas have given and how good
that is for baseball, I imagine because little kids are like,
oh the bananas, They're gonna get into baseball. I hope
as a result, maybe baseball MLB takes a page whatever
it is, but takes a page for the entertainment value
of the game.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
You know, I don't know what that.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Is, but maybe they do learn something from it because
there's a lot of people showing up. You know, who
is down in Anaheim? Who not at the Yankees Dodgers,
at the Bananas game? Our buddy coach ball game? Coach
ball game? Who was getting all these kids involved in
the game. I was Sam, what is your answer? Would
you rather be a Rocky or a Banana? I would
rather be a Rocky.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
I think you know, if you don't have the pitching
to be a good team or even a decent team,
but every game you can go to the plate and
you can try to get hits, you can try to
it runs and maybe eke out a couple of wins.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
This isn't football I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I'm saying, if money's not a fact, right right, if
you could chump to the ballpark every night and play
with sixty thousand people, music's playing, cheerleaders, bats on fire, stunts,
all the stuff versus all the Rockies are nine and fifteen.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Back to course I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Is you can you have the chance to probably eke
out a couple more wins for the Rockies and you're
still a big leaguer. You're a big league and your
your career is not going to be defined just this one.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's a matter of how much that means to you,
because if you're going to compare fun to misery, you
can't even compare the two. It's how much fun the
bananas are having and how miserable.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Do you think the Rocky?

Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's fun being a banana. But would a Rocky take
switch places with a banana?

Speaker 5 (15:43):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Never, No, a banana switch place the Rocky. You know
why though, money only? Or you get dream come true?
Money only? No, they weren't. I'll tell you why, money only?
Because the goal is to play baseball professionally the and
you play the game you love, a children's game that
you get paid for. What do you rather do? Have

(16:03):
fun or be on a dreadfully worst team in the
history of baseball? Yeah, I'm sure tensions high in Colorado,
but I'm keeping my answer, which is Colorado Rocky. They're
nine to fifty right now. Tell me give me a
reason other than the money.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Pride?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
But what is that even because you're playing with the
best and that was the goal to make it to
the big leagues.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
You made it, but you're paying.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
And day out is fun versus not? I know, I
mean you asked me for my answer. I don't think
there's a right or wrong hand that might rather have
way less fun just to be like a big league. Yeah,
that was the goal, was your goal to pitch on.
S Still, what if I telled you you're the main
Savannah banana, you make five million year versure a millionum?

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Money was not a fact? No, no, but let's say,
but let's say money was.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
A factor and it was equal money, and all of
a sudden the bananas were making as much. There's credibility
and clout in being a big league. I think that
makes the conversation different. Yeah, oh it does, of course
it does. So because if money didn't play a fact
or in the beginning, why am I saying now when
the bananas make money?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
You're like, well, now hold on now.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'm not changing my argument, but we do open it
up to Fox Sports Radio Nation.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
It's a changing world.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
No all, I'm saying. I'm not saying one way or
the other. Rich, I'm just saying, you said, no money
involved in this scenario.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Saying the only reason why most people would say, well,
still the Rockies, because if even if you're a bunk
ass Rockies player, you're still making millions.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
No, in my mind, I'm thinking you just get to
hear your your name announce and you walk up to
bat in a major league game in a beautiful stadium.
I know they're losing, but have you ever with two
thousand people there? Okay, Rich, but let me tell you this.
When we go do remotes, we do the same exact show,
whether there's ten or two hundred, So that doesn't change

(17:47):
our experience.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, I have a way better talk about the two hundred.
Wouldn't you think? I think that it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
It doesn't make the experience any less beautiful. Though, if
that's your dream to get to the big time, it
would be eighty two twenty. That would be my guess.
We should put up a poll Fox Sports Radio dot com. Honestly,
we're coming off a pretty significant weekend Yankees Dodgers. Yeah,
and Rich.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Isn't that far off? And saying that there was so
much buzz and just check social media? Yeah, and the
banana bananas.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Rich, I think the listeners are going to agree with
you because of fun. I think because of the fun aspect,
a lot of people click on.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
How many people listen would be I think eighty percent
of the Fox Sports listeners would be like, yeah, I'd
rather be in a big leagues.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Give me a break. You're choosing prestige over popularity. Yeah, man, yeah,
that's every kid's dream to play in the big leagues.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
You have a doubt, I'll give you this. Every kid
was your dream to play? Uh for the Bananas, they
didn't exist. Yeah, because and I still wouldn't think that
if you ask kids. I think it would be different
if you asked the kid. Kids now are like, yo, man,
these guys are I talked to one of the parents
at the school this morning, Hey, how was your weekend?
We took the kids down to Anaheim, went to see

(18:58):
the Savannah Bananas, and I said, how was it?

Speaker 1 (19:01):
You know what the dad told me?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
He goes, I'll be honest, it's gonna be tough to
bring them to a Dodgers game now because there's so
much excitement every inning, music, fired, leaders dancing that he
goes to get my little boys to be as engaged
as the Savanna Banaza.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Dodger Stadium is loud and fast moving. That cardio cam
was pretty fun. Yeah, yeah, but they got they.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Guess which had the balls under that That's not the
only form of I mean they roll ice Cube out
in a low ride. You're in the World Series, not
just the World Series home opener, and there's lots of big,
popular giveaway nights at the stadium.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
That stadium is rocket.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I think for a lot of people listening right now,
who can they more candies? You were Max Munsey go
to the big screen.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
You're talking like it's like a boring baseball team in
the nineteen seventies.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I think there's a lot.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Of people listening probably right now that are shocked by
the popularity of the Bananas. Not everybody lives in social
media world that we live or has kids that are
in tune with this stuff. So we're just telling you
they're the modern day Globetrotters guys, and what we say
is true. Man, this is a real thing they got
going on. I'm amazed by what they've accomplished in such
a short period of time. I think it's an incredible story.

(20:16):
I'm a fan of what they do, but I would
still pick the Big Weeks over that.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
I have two thoughts, geheads fotty. You think of how
the world has changed though okay, it's changing, okay, right,
In order to in order to be popular, Let's say,
even like twenty years ago, you used to have to
be either a movie star, a musician, or maybe even
on TV barely on TV now.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Somebody or a morning show DJ right show J Yeah,
like Jack.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Now it's like, if you're an influencer, you can be
more popular than a person that's in a blockbuster movie
over the weekend. So it's like the times they are changing.
I know baseball has made efforts to be a little
bit more excited.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
You asked me in my forties.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
If you ask a ten year old nose picker, I
don't know if that's what you're talking to, But if
you ask a ten year old, they may have a
different answer.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Like Rich, I'm not going to change my mind. Two layers.
Number one, what's the most popular form of boxing?

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Now?

Speaker 2 (21:07):
You could deny. You could be like like this weekend,
Cavino goes, you know, did you ceo who Charlo fought?
Who Charlo won? Caleb Plant lost?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah? Guess what? Char Yeah Charro from.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
The eighties from Yes gets Elder abuse.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Charlo Caleb Plant, I guess what?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
People were more talking about Jake Paul fighting Juliar Caesar calls.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Ninnis whatever, man, then that's the world you want to
live in and throw right hand.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Wrap it up by answering this question, we'll take your
feedback next. If you were offered today, Steve Cavino, Yes,
to throw out the first pitch at the Savannah Bananas
game or a Colorado Rocket is the easiest answer.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
In the world. Colorado rocketes.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Are you seriously talking to a guy in his forties,
I'm not ten years old.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
You would. Yes, that's Major League Baseball, so you tell me.
You know the logo MLB. I appreciate everything the Bananas do,
but I'm not trying to be a circus site series
right now. Yes, one hundred percent. You had got to
be honored. I would have a great time. That's not
to downplay the Savanna Banas. I admire everything they do,
but we're talking big League Baseball.

Speaker 9 (22:17):
Yes, pack you get out of here. Man, that's cool.
A pac Stadium with the hydro. I don't care about that.
I would love to be a part of it. I'm
not trying to downplay it.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
In fact, like I said, I often promote this banana Bananas,
but that's not Major League Baseball.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Hey, it's gimmicks.

Speaker 10 (22:36):
Game.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's like playing flag football.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now back to your phone calls eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox over the weekend, a World Series rematch.
I went to yesterday's game. I had a great time,
but you know what it does lack.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
And baseball's popping. You know, we're big baseball fans.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Baseball's definitely popping baseball, but it does lack entertainment factor.
It does showmanship, and that's where the Savana Bananas are
really slaying it. Yeah, really doing a great job. So
I commend them, but based on their appearance here in
La and Anaheim actually over the weekend, my play was

(23:17):
over the weekend, I heard equal number of people buzzing
about and Savannah Bananas are down in Anaheim.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
They sold the place out. It's nuts, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
As many people were talking about that as the Dodger Yankees,
which was.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Like a little note.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I was like, you know, so Rich is saying, would
you rather have fun with the bananas who are selling
out sixty thousand plus. Everybody's loving them. Women love them,
families love them. They're having a blast. Fouled you fun fun,
have a miserable time.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
You're also out though, if you pop up in a
fan catch of this that's true, Yeah, that's fun?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Or would you rather have a miserable time losing? But
you're in the bigs with the Rockies who are nine
and fifty, right, and the rub was takeaway money because
you can't be like, well, I want to be a
big the money. If the Rockies didn't make a lot
of money or the Bananas were all millionaires too, then
then the conversation is different. But we're taking away money.
So Mike, who runs this place, came in. Mike just

(24:11):
a little while ago. They got it, which just here Basically,
what you're asking is would you rather be a WWE
champion or a gold medal winner in wrestling? It'd rather
be Gino Petrevio from Georgia by Russia, because you know what,
instead of John Cena, I could easily explain this if

(24:33):
money's not a factor. I'm more into real winning than
pretend winning. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Hit hit the Kurt Angle theme because he was both. Yes,
I think this is fair to say. When I think
of Steve Covino on your take on this, you suck
because I choose to be a professional. I don't know,
so I don't think I'm alone here.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
You suck.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I think more people would choose the big leagues than
the Savannah bananas. And I say that respectfully. You know,
let's go to Trip in Vegas. I'm just saying money aside.
There's something really fun exciting about going to work every day. Hey,
trip Banana, let's go to trip Trip. Are you at
the real winning or pretend to stop it?

Speaker 11 (25:20):
Oh? No, absolutely would want to be a Rocky. And
here's why. If you're a Rocky, you could always be
a Savannah Banana. But it doesn't go the other way around.
And also, I drop the the w w A champions
than a gold medal winner.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
So you're mixed on it, right, I mean okay, but
if you're a Rocky, right, you can always be traded.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Who's cooler and you're playing with the p in the world. Dude, No,
I could ever take.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
That away from you have a baseball reference, some gold medal,
gold medal winning grappler, or you know, stone cold Steve Boston,
who's cooler?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
A gold medal winter man. You go down in history, dude,
you leave your mark. That's all it wels.

Speaker 11 (25:58):
Does.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Stone Cold Steve Boston one of the greatest and retainers,
Dween the Rock, Johnson, Hulk Cogan, come on.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Again, but one's real once pretend who cares rich?

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Since eighteen seventy six, there's been twenty thousand Major League ballplayers.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Think about that, and only forty seven bananas. Not a good.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Rich is a class his uncle was Boso. Rich is
a clown. So I'm so surprised that you really want
to be this van.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
You'd rather be a bench player on the mill? Woud
you rather be a bench player on like the Milwaukee
Bucks in the eighties? Or do you rather be Curly Neil,
the most famous gulb trotter I'd rather.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Be in the eighties? Would you have rather been Michael
Jackson or weird Al Yankovic eat it?

Speaker 9 (26:38):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
No? No?

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Yeah? Because it Jack They're They're the comedy version of
the real thing man.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
But Danny, give me someone that's not one of the
greatest three entertainers of all time. If you told me,
do I rather be weird Al? Or I don't know,
give me a real performer, a seagull, pros Perlman, the violinist.
Would you rather be yours? Yes it is it's not Hey, guys,
fight nice man it's not We're supposed to be having

(27:06):
fun like the bananas, Sean and Sacramento.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Do you rather be a banana or a Rocky?

Speaker 12 (27:13):
Yeah? What's a banana?

Speaker 11 (27:15):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
There's a big weekend for the bananas, Manana bro Pozzi,
it's a it's a huge.

Speaker 12 (27:22):
Weekend, man, and Rich I gotta I gotta give.

Speaker 11 (27:24):
It to you.

Speaker 12 (27:24):
Man. I was just telling Dady, you gotta be stirred
up on this topic.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Bro.

Speaker 12 (27:28):
I'm glad you took that Tativa edible earlier and you
had this whole conversation. But I can't agree with you
on this one.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Man.

Speaker 12 (27:35):
It feels like, you know, the guy who plays baseball
wants to end up a Rocky because he knows the Covinos.
When he knows he's playing against the best in the world,
he reached his dream goal. And I bet you there's
a couple of Savanna bananas right now who are tired
of hitting the gritty from first to second, who are
tired of hitting the tachas slide in between and and not.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Be taken serious.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yo, dude, Yeah, that's a great point.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Sean. You just hit the nail on the head.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Ready.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Here's why I'm right I said before, Yeah, I'm into
real winning, not pretend to winning, right, And that's no disrespect.
I admire what they're doing. I can't make that any
more clear, but I guarantee you I George Foreman guarantee
the highest form of sports guarantee there is. I George
Forman guarantee you that every Savannah Banana would trade places
to be in the big.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Leagues, every one of them for the Monday. There is
the proof for the money, no for the dream. They
all wanted to play in the big leagues, but they
weren't good or not.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right now, there's a layer of social media entertainment selling
out arenas, stadiums everywhere. The Savannah Bananas are hot right now.
And you know, I want to give one quick music
analogy and then we'll go to Isaac for an update.
You're you rather be the authentic rocker that plays in
front of thirteen people at a club instead of the
rocker that's like, Hey, we're gonna give you a pop

(28:48):
image and he's playing so far.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
They're so high right now, think about it. Think about it.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
We'll get to rest your feedback and other hard hitting
issues here on the scene. Our experience first Isaac the guy's.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
The best hold on.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
I got two theories on this.

Speaker 8 (29:06):
This is really interesting. The other part of the question is,
would the Rockies want to trade places with the Bananas?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Never?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I mean, I mean, if I get if money wasn't
a thing, and you see how much fun people are having,
we forget.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Man. Sometimes you see someone you think they're living the
greatest life, but they're having a boring life.

Speaker 8 (29:24):
I'm just saying, there you go.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
It speaks to something I think all of us and
I include listeners, can identify with.

Speaker 8 (29:32):
Would you go to a high, high, high paying.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
Job that sucks the soul out of you, but you
get a humongous ginormous paycheck or a considerably less paycheck,
but you love your coworkers, you have fun.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Dude, one of the dudes on one of the coaches,
that's what's going on. One of the dads on my
kids baseball team. And I won't come out. But he's
a surgeon guy. Probably is a beautiful house, makes a
ton of money, but the guy is the most stressed,
tired guy.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
He looks miserable all the time.

Speaker 8 (30:05):
Anyway, that guy, anyway, back, anyway, back to you.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Time for our tire IRAQ Play of the Day. The
Mariners walked it off against the Twins yesterday.

Speaker 13 (30:19):
One one time, bottom of the ninth inning. The stretch
the two to one pitch, swinging the ground, bowl up
the middle base hit, the Marinis win it. Randy and
Rosa right now jumps on first base. Oh, walk up single.
Julio scores and the Mariners win it two to one
over the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Seattle now sitting atop the AOS thirty two and twenty
six courtesy of the Mariners Radio Network.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
And that's our TIRACT play of the day.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
And there's another Randy in Seattle, Randy Johnson. Perhaps you
heard of him. Oh, I think you can say Randy Watson. No,
Randy Johnson, Randa Watson. They're retiring as number fifty one
and twenty twenty six announced it quite the honor and
well deserved and long overdue if you ask me, Randy Jansson,

(31:09):
great mullet, great mullet, great baseball name bird killer. I'm
not even joking. That was a great walk off. Aros
Reina one of the best in the bigs. You see
the best rain Budy. But the reality is a bigger moment.
This weekend. To wrap it up was Hambino, the Great Hambino,
Patrick Renna from the Sandlot. I was never getting it

(31:30):
at bat for the Savannah Banana. I'm not gonna downplay
the amount of pressure he probably had on him to
make contact in that moment. I thought that was big.
And he's a real good dude. I'm glad he had
that awesome moment. Anyway, Hey, enjoy both, as you said,
as a little tortilla girl said, and Steve Kuvino, the
grown tortilla.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Boy, crunchy or soft tortilla? Why not both?

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Why not both so you can love the Bananas and
the Rockies. Baseball is popping right now because not only
the Savannah Banana's popping. I was looking at the NL
standings and I don't care about your Yankees in the AL.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
The NL right now, Danny.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
G is it could it get hotter than Dodgers, Padres, Mets,
Phillies and the Cubs are right back in the mix.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
They're all like practically at the same record.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Logjam, dude, it's a logjam in the best way that
if you're a baseball fan, come October, knock on wood,
I hope we get all those teams going five or
seven games right the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
The Cardinals are hot to a wild card pos four
games behind the Cubs.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
So, by the way, as far as the right market teams,
no offense to the small market teams. But if you
told me the NL was going to be Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Cubs, Cardinals,
that is like, that's like the dream that Rob Manfred
has every.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Night when he goes to bell.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
I had a nightmare watching the Yankees lose to the Dodgers.
And what I have learned from watching them he was
thinking of sugar plums in his sleep. No, but what
I learned watching them closely is that they're just so
impossible to be. I think even with their worst out there,
they had no ace on the mound, they had no
Mookie bets he stubbed his toe or whatever. They're the

(33:07):
team to beat man.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
They're so good.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Well see how the metsi's do this week.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Because the Mets won two out of three in New
York and now they play the next four days. They're
so good here at Dodger Stadium. So as a Mets fan, Danny,
I'm hoping for a split, Like there's no you know
if you can get if you can beat the Dodgers
split split. In fact, there you go, thank you, thank you,
Sam Quick NBA question Rich. Yeah, as we get ready
for Thursday, Pacers Thunder super pumped about that.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's on Cinco de Junio. You tell me the truth.
By the way, what do you mean when you said
you're super excited about it?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, because ratings doesn't equal anything as far as we
might get a great matchup, I mean some great games.
Mildly excited about it. The networks are probably not excited
about it. What do I care about what they think?

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (33:51):
We might get a great matchup, we might get great games.
I think we will. I think it's gonna be exciting matchup,
just not big in the ratings.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
It's going to be fast paced on the floor, and.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
You see two young teams going at it. I think
we're going to see some battles, man.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
And I'm not saying it's the gage of it, but
it'll be the lowest ratings of the twenty first century.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Right.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
But therefore, you're you're down selling, downplaying the fact that
we're going to get some really sweet matchups. I think
we're gonna get battles, and it's going to be exciting,
so we'll have exciting things to talk about.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
I'm gonna watch that.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Sounds so dramatic. Rich, You're like the lowest ratings of
the twenty first century. That under sells like how good
this is going to be? I mean, are you working
for the network? I'm not so what do I no?

Speaker 4 (34:33):
I think it's I think it's kind of refreshing that
there's new blood in the finals and that one of
these small markets is going to get to hoist the trophy.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's the thing, right, The parody of the NFL based
on the finals, the parody of the NBA. You mean
what I say, I'm so used to you saying that. Yeah,
the parody of the NBA. The Western Finals MVP when
they announced it, Eastern, Yes, Eastern, Pascal Si, he's the winner.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Do you think Tyrese Halliburton really thought he was gonna win?
It was when award? Do you remember in Rocky because
I was shocked myself that it was.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Do you guys remember in the movie Rocky five, which
I know we all agree is the worst Rocky, But
do you remember when Tommy Gunn wins the belt and
He's like, I want to thank the man that helped
get me here, and Rocky Balbo is watching like he's
going to sue me, and he's.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Like, mister George Washington, Duke.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
I feel like Halliburton thought they were gonna say.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
I think he was kind of playing it up to
the camera. He knew the camera was on a movie.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I don't know, look like.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
He was being kind of joking because his his teammate
was ribbing. I'm like looking at him, like, really, they're
gonna diss you like that?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, but even I thought I hit you up immediately,
I'm like, shock them all right?

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Deserving for sure.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
It was really close.

Speaker 11 (35:51):
Close.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
It was off by one, but I thought that it
was going to be Halliburton, just because of the moment
he had and you know, the way he played. He was,
to me, the leader of the series, so he was
the face of the series too. You know, it was close,
but I really thought he would win it. I mean,
the first of all, the choke, right, and just his
feud with New York fans and everything. I thought Halliburton

(36:14):
meant more to the bigger picture. So did Halliburton really
think he was going to win the Eastern Finals MVP.
It was Rocky Balboom or did he just play it
up or was that just the weird new incidence that
he looked like with these Yeah, you know the hand shape.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
But the assist leader, the assist leader in a series
never gets as much love as the scoring champion in
a series.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
But props to Siaka though man was awesome well.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
And Halliburton that the way they beat the Knicks on
Saturday was getting that.

Speaker 11 (36:43):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
I was going to say pace because you know, we
got the double entendre there, but the pace of this
rich is going to be what is interesting because you
saw when Indiana ran down the floor for those easy
layups for Siakam and other guys on the court. That's
when they were at their best. In fact, check out
these numbers for Halliburton. He had sixty three assists this series. Wow,

(37:04):
the most assists in a conference final series win since
Magic Johnson in nineteen ninety one. So the way he's
been getting everybody involved in I think Covino that's why
he probably really truly doesn't care all that much because
they like the fact that the focus is not just
on one player on their team.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Well, his reaction went viral over the weekend, But congrats
again to them and looking forward to Thursday, for sure.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Did you say Thursday? I did.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
I'm going to try to take a flight to Portugal
to watch the Harlem Globetrotters more my speed. You know,
the international superstars of basketball, the Harlem Globetrotters.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, and every one of them.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
We've interviewed the Harlem Globetrotters, We've done videos high down
and they're great in their family, fun and their legends.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
They've been around forever.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Every one of those dudes would trade everything to be
in the NBA. So your thoughts, your participation, it's all
welcome at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Not
right before we get to a little more NBA and
what's going on in the world of sports on this day.
A couple of things we could look back upon. It

(38:08):
was the day that George Herman, Ruth, Babe Ruth, said
I'm done with baseball. He announced his retirement from Major
League Baseball. Was he the ham Bino or Bambino? I forget,
I believe Bambino, but double check that. So it was
the grave of the great Bambino. George Herman Ruth retired
from baseball announced it today was also the day in

(38:30):
the year two thousand and two for a lot of
HBO fans.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Everyone loves the Wire.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
It's one of the bag you know, most talked about
shows ever that debuted twenty three years ago. But I
want to give everyone a quick quiz in the studio,
does anyone know what comedy this fun scene is from?

Speaker 8 (38:49):
Good On Excellent and Garry on the kick drum. Come
come on the kick Come Come that's Gary.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Come come with the kick drum. Come Come, Come with
a drum.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Garriott, Vince Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston as the Breakup.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
The break Up.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
John Michael Higgins nineteen years ago six. Can you believe
that it's freaking fine?

Speaker 4 (39:12):
Remember a lot of people didn't like the way that
movie ended. It did read it was too realistic.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Yeah, yeah, newsflash, I know twenty years a litter spoiler.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
They broke up. Everyone expected like they're gonna get back together,
and it's like no. The movie is called The Breakup.
Move Yourself because they see each other life.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
They cross paths at the end of the movie and
you think, oh, this is gonna be sappy. Where they
get back together. They realize their life was better together.
It's not like that. They they brought like peace out.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Never thinking of the future.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Raptep teppyrap tep, tap yourself, come come on the kick drum.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
That's funny, man tell yeah, how many years ago? Nineteen
years ago? Owner of a lonely but nineteen years ago?
Can you believe that? Six? So I still feel like
underrated one?

Speaker 2 (39:59):
And all right, Danny G I liked it because it
was a realistic ending. Not every ending has to be cheesy.
I still believe in that the meme that says wasn't
thirty years ago in nineteen seventy.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
I that's that's how I act in my mind. Yeah,
the seventies. You well, three years ago.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
If you need something fun to watch tonight, maybe check
that out because you got no NBA.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Or the finale, Danny of Friends and Neighbors.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Oh man, you watch John Hamm is a g of course,
and I did not want that season to come to
an end.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
The problem is I say things in Covino just because
it's me. He's reluctant.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
So maybe if you tell Cavino while he waits for
the NBA finals, John Hamm, your friends and neighbors.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Please can you tell him it's a.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Good job, Cavino, that's the best show streaming right now.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Honestly, Well, I got Apple TV because the Yankees and
Dodgers were on Apple, So I want to buy it
by for anything else. He want to buy for anything else.
But he's like the Yankees are you bought it for
one game? I did nine ninety nine for one game
for one month. So this is the guy that want
to check out something you you ain't started, Severns when
you when you inkid him when you say that you
watch one hundred and sixty two Yankee games. Huh, I
mean it's just fun to have on I hear you. Yeah,

(41:07):
I love it. So before we get into the last
one standing, let's do a choose your own adventure rich
you want to talk about show? Hey, sleeping on the job?
Livvy done. We got a guy fired for sleeping on
the job, not meaning I know, fun story.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
By the way, what was shoe hay O Tani doing there?

Speaker 4 (41:25):
For real?

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Like he wasn't really sleep and was he taking a
little bit nap his eyes?

Speaker 4 (41:30):
He does have a newborn at home. I know, I
know he's not getting a lot of sleep.

Speaker 7 (41:34):
I mean he was sleep in a Savannah Banana's game.
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
When you when your team's down there, teams ahead by
two touchdowns, he seemed to.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
Tow rat kill. He closed his eyes and then a
few seconds later he opened him up, so he wasn't
in a full nap.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
There's a viral image of show hey like sleeping with
his head resting on the dugout. We gotta go, We
gotta got fired once. I'll tell the quick story. One
of our producers who we love, was like, take it
a little nap, and we thought it would be funny,
sort of sipping back on Grandpa's cough syrope. Though you

(42:09):
know he was having some hard nights prior. But this
guy like dozed off in the TV studio and as
a joke as we went to commercial, we're like, pant
to him, it's funny, like making fun of ourselves, like
our guys sleeping.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
We thought it was funny. Everyone thought it was funny.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
But that was the boss's final straw, like the job like,
oh no, yeah, we felt so bad. Unintentionally, listen, it
would have happened that because we liked him as a dude,
like we didn't care negotiate for him to get his
job back.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
No, that was like the final straw.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Yeah, we're looking for a reason and we we provided
the reason.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Unfortunately, careful, careful, Sam, they have a lot of cameras
on you right now. I'm standing up. I'm not gonna
fall No.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
This is also coming from the clown Rich Davis to
Banana Top Banana who fell asleep during the live broadcast,
that like nerd Con, we were at what convention were?
We were at the most miserable convention one time and
we looked at We're like, where's Rich He fell asleep
because it was the most glum boring convention we had
ever broadcast At Serious sex A one time, they like,
can you guys do your show live from It wasn't

(43:07):
Comic Con. It was really something like it was like
nerd tech Con. Coon, Yes, you'll do. It was like
nerd Tech Con. And I did fall asleep.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
He fell like.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
We have pictures that we still, like, you know, passed
around till this day as a joke. Anyway, Uh, choose
my own adventure. I'm not gonna choose sleeping. I'm gonna
choose Josh Allen and Haley Steinfeld.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Okay, Josh Allen, they got married over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
You're your you know, top level. Some argue the best
quarterback in the National Football League Josh Allen thirteen and
four last year, one game, shy. I have a Bill's
Super Bowl appearance. I think he'll get there in the
next couple of years, I hope. So for the Bill's sake,
why are you talking like Donald Trump? You said three

(43:56):
things in a sense like Donald Trump. Do you think
you are you have an identity crisis or show? Hey,
oh Tani, for the Bill's sake, listen back to that.
Everything you said was in Trump inflection. This guy, who
are you? This guy who goes doesn't realize when he
goes into Sebastian Metascal.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
All the time.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I'm watching China over the weekend, Haley Steinfeld. Haley Steinfeld
and Josh Allen tie the knot over the weekend. Yeah, now, hey,
congrats to them.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
It just brings up a story that Danny g sent us.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Yeah, some JABBRONI Now listen, you could argue that every
time I do a parlay that's over four legs, I'm
throwing away my money. You could argue that anytime you
see some guy that's like I did a twelve for twelve,
you know football parlay. Yeah, good luck with that, buddy,
You're not winning. It's funny because we're seeing some Bill's
highlights on right now in front of us. There was

(44:59):
a better in Illinois that wagered one hundred dollars on
the Bills to have the worst record in the NFL
this year this coming season. The potential payout seventy five
thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
But you're basically, in.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Danny G's words, saying, here, here's one hundred dollars. You're
throwing one hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Give me that dollar, bro, please.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yeah, it's safe to.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Say, Josh leg broken, you know, in the first game
of the season, like what happened to Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
But I even think then, Danny, they might be like
six and the left right seven.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
They still may not be the worst team. You're right,
but without being the show. That's like, everyone give us
your worst bet, because everyone's got a bed bet they made. Listen,
we've all made dumb bets.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Like there have been times, Danny where a good team
is losing like fourteen nothing, So I'll go live bet.
I'll be like, they'll come back, and the odds are
pretty decent, like, oh, the Chiefs are down, you know,
twenty one to seven, you'll bet they'll come back, and
a lot of times they don't.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
You're like, what an idiot I am?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Baseball teams losing four to one in the eighth and
you're like, ooh plus nine hundred, let me put twenty
bucks on it. It never really works. But I want
to ask you betting aside, what was the worst money
you ever just quote threw away? Like, Danny, you were
telling me a story about one of our radio.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Pals FSR alumni, your old pal.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Why am I forgetting his name at all?

Speaker 4 (46:25):
I thought you were being dramatic? Yeah, so did I
play Travis?

Speaker 1 (46:29):
You know what I kept doing.

Speaker 9 (46:33):
Travis Matthew saying it's so true in my mind. I
was going Travis.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Travis Matthews our incredible sponsor, Clayty Travis is a show
that Danny g once produced.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
Yeah, he told a story on the air about how
his wife was mad at him because he took a
bunch of their savings and invested in this pants company
that he thought was going to be thriving within a year.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Other right, wing was Glenn Beck.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
He did.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
I think he had some success with jeans, so maybe
that's where.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
He was.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Jeans. Yeah, I don't know, maybe that's what he was doing.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
Yeah, Needless to say, he did not get his money
back from that investment.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
I heard those Glenn Beck jeans came with a lifetime guarantee.
But lifetime guarantee, no booty for a lifetime guarantee.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
You're probably wearing them right now, Trump Delivery.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
I'm wearing Glenn Beck jeans. The best gene I'll give
you on how I threw away money. If everyone has
a story, I'll share. Everybody has a story. It's like
it's like throwing away one hundred dollars betting against Josh
Allen had the worst record.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Honestly, that's just asked.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
That would be like saying, I'm betting on Patrick Mahomes
to have statistically the worst starting quarterback season in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
It's just not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
My example would be in spot you remember this because
you may have done the same dumb thing.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
In the early days before it was iHeart iHeart, which
we work for now with Fox Sports Radio Premiere. iHeart
used to be a company called clear Channel. Do you
guys remember when clear Channel was a big company. Yeah,
back then they started selling like hey guys, dot COM's
are going to run out and everyone's going to start
going to websites dot cc okay, and they like I remember,

(48:19):
people talked about it, like you can buy the domains,
and I mean, how many people lost money buying domains?

Speaker 1 (48:26):
For sure? But I bought like I was like, what
kind of dogfood? Dot c C? And I'm like, someone's
gonna give me a million dollars for this domain? One day.
I probably spent one thousand dollars as a twenty something
year old buying buying domains.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Dot You're still the owner dot c sty've since expired,
I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
But I was convinced that we were all going five
guys couldn't get their own web.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
I thought that dot CC's we're gonna take off. You
know what you can take. Can't blame you many. I
wasn't this stupid.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
You were involved in this involved thanks spot Rich is
the problem food dot see spot the guy that I
believe when we both bought a bitcoin when it was
seven thousand dollars, you said it's not going anywhere and
you sold it.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
For a loss. I am Matt stupid.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
With it? Were at now one hundred and four thousand dollars?

Speaker 1 (49:18):
Who bought pizzas with bitcoin? The guy who bought pizzas
with bitcoin? That guy, I'm suppose he hasn't hung himself.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
So we asked you Fox Sports Radio Nation in tribute
in honor of the guy that just threw one hundred
dollars bill right out there.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
At one hundred dollars for Josh Allen to be the
worst essentially.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Again to win. Was it seventy five thousand dollars? Potential
payout of seventy five thousand dollars? What's the what's the
time you threw your money away? I'd have to say
I went on a streak at one point. Maybe it
was your ex wife. No, that was that was a
whole different lifetime, even before that. Maybe it was under

(49:59):
the influence the time of life I was in college days. Right,
you're up late, you're watching infomercials. It's that sort of
mindset and you're like, yeah, man, I think I'm gonna
buy and sell properties no money down. And we've talked
about the archestrata. No, not orchestrata, what swampland swamp land
in Florida. No, remember, like Carlton Sheets. I always bring

(50:21):
this up. Carlton Sheets, would you know, try to sell
you on his business plan and you could be a
business owner, no money down like the Don Lapriz of
the world. All these infomercial items later and I remember
spending like three to five hundred dollars on these programs
where I was gonna buy and sell real estate you're
classified ads and be a businessman. I think I bought

(50:41):
all of them. These little people were selling real estate programs.
I bought that one. I brought every infomercial item possible. Uh,
just because I wanted to find a shortcut, I guess
in life.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
So throwing money away Carlton Sheets.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Not only did I not make my millions buying and
selling real estate with no money down. I don't think
I ever opened the vhs that came in. I don't
think I ever looked at it, but I had it
there like yeah, but no motivation ever to even move
forward on it. So just basically through my money, why period,
I got one that I guaranteed, this one at least

(51:14):
at least one guaranteed, but perhaps thousands listening that dove
into this a little bit and they're like, what was
I doing? Because I think we all believe for a
second that it was going to go somewhere. Do you
guys remember a couple of years ago when digital art,
NFTs and all that stuff started taking all over. Did
you know anyone that was like, I bought the NF.
Remember you could buy like moments like the NFT of

(51:36):
Jordan's dunk by sports clip, like digital sports moments, and
it's like, I own the NFT.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Even then, Gary Vaynerchuk probably still believes in it.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
You know, Gary Vee that for all his great steps,
that was a misstep because I don't see that coming there.
I was gonna say, is there any sign of that
coming back at all? Spot didn't Jake Paul and the
Paul brothers do all that? Like the monkey that that
that famous monkey art, like that board ape, the board Ape.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
I believe it'll come back, says I'm Gary Vee.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
NFTs are still a thing, but the initial hype obviously
has subsided. They're now being used in a broader range
of apps, including gaming, digital identity, and as a way
to represent real world assets.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I bought the one of the doink off of Cancico's head. Yeah,
I own twelve grand for it. It's not worth four dollars.
That's a good one, but nft. So the anniversary I
think was last week of that clip. I got one
that that's not wasted money. But Spot had money and
didn't cash out. You didn't buy any infomercial stuff that
you regret though.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
I bought a flavorwave of him. Did it work? No,
it didn't.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
But our video producer Spot there was an app. No joke,
I was saying, maybe two or three years ago, crypto
is still flourishing, but you know, all these little cryptos
were popping up.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
There was one.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
There was an app called step in where you would
earn crypto when you would just walk. You'd actually earn
money by walking. Lost at least two and at one
point Spot was like my walking made my walking stepan
account had like twenty five grand in it.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
And then like I made one thousand dollars a day as.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Fall as taking a thousand dollars a day, but never
cashed out, and then all of a sudden it was like, oh, no,
four dollars. So I mean I lost money on that too, though,
yeah I did. I was like, all right, you know what, though,
it got me out. I was taking walks every day.
I remember Commuto hit up. He's like, I just made
one hundred and fifty bucks. Oh yeah, that was a
thing for a minute. Your biggest waste of money, throwing

(53:26):
money away. I'll love this better. Yeah, from Illinois.

Speaker 9 (53:30):
I think.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Worse than all that is betting one hundred dollars that
Josh Adden the Bills will have the worst record in
the NFL. Yeah, that is impossible. You can say one
hundred possible, but it's but it's impossible. It's just one
hundred dollars. And I say that lightly. You're right, people
have checked the check, but it really is. You might
as well have given n Iowa saying one hundred dollars.

(53:52):
And now it's time for the last one Standing.

Speaker 5 (53:55):
You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia lot.
Put your electronic devices down and pick your sports knowledge cnrs.
