Now we got to talk the Sacramento as a man.
They're just the a's. They have no uh I know,
I call them a Sacramento I A A A. They're homeless.
So such a hobos.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well they're playing in Sacramento. We'll explain. Is a story
about them hobo A transition was some of their future leaked?
We'll explain. But right now we're wrapping up with your
phone calls. At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
there was a playoff baseball game between West Nassau High
School and Sewanee High School that garnered national attention for

(01:58):
which is unexpected for a three a far high school
baseball game. But it's because they had the prom and
the playoff game scheduled at the same time. I mean,
that's just terrible planning by the school district and everyone involved.
But if you read all the comments, you know they
can't have the district like coordinates six hundred different proms
for the playoff, right, Why I can't do that? And

(02:19):
then there's a lot of feedback too, like you're really
overrating what a prom is nowadays. I understand the promposals
are a big deal, but a lot of people goof
off of them and they head off to another party anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Like, but I'm saying that they go You've been talked
about it.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Promposals high school sweets, that's a big thing. I get it,
But yeah, I also think that your girlfriend would understand it.
You're committed to a team and you can meet up
later on. You think like a high school romances though,
because because guess who missed it? Five seniors missed the game, right,
and their ace pitcher who would have pitched, also missed
the game. Let me try to find he has a

(02:52):
zero nine to four era, this kid, and he missed
the game and they got clappered. Senior pitcher Fisher it
skip the game as well, and they got beat as
a result. So it became a story of what would
you do? It's not an easy decision, no, that's for sure.
I mean, but if you read the feedback, my god,
it's so divided. Well, because it's a it's a I

(03:14):
look at it this way. No bigger competitive guy than me.
But I'm going with the problem. You have one prom.
You keep saying that, but you're going to the prom,
so maybe you know, maybe you're not.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I would priority I look back and I say, it's.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Not even on.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
It's about commitment, not competitiveness.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Like you make a commitment to the team, but you
also make a commitment to yourself and your girlfriend. And
you know, like you said, you live one time. You
have one senior prom, and some people are like, didn't
even go to prod then, dude, as a high school kid,
baseball was everything to me. But you know, I think
today my high school girlfriend, I would have found it

(03:51):
very hard. I think you were just horned up because
my night wasn't that special and I had a wonderful
high school relationship. So I'm not downplaying the importance of that.
Either depends on how good you are too. Like I said,
I I really think that uh factor. Don't make it
sound like it's not like if you're a team that
like leaked into the playoffs and you were gonna get whooped,
or you know, like I said, if your scholarship here

(04:12):
is any way you were telling a sixteen seventeen year
old to me to miss a baseball game.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I don't think that was happening.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
But when all your friends are going in a limo
or a party bus, let's be honest, and you're drinking,
you're sneaking. I wouldn't have cared about that nowhere near
as much as getting my name and facing the paper for.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
The playoffs paper.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, that's that went make way more to me. You
didn't get your picture of paper in high school if
you played I lived in New York, the Daily News.
It's not the printing high school results they did for me.
You would never in the Daily News or New York
Plutar Ledgers the same equivalent, your bonehead the week ass
Jersey paper. No, it's the same thing, You numb skull,
you chud. You think the Jersey thing. You think the

(04:50):
biggest paper in New Jersey, New Jersey. You think the
Jersey has the same cloud as the New York.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's the same.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's not the same cloud because it's a different state.
But if you're making all state, what do you think
they're posting that in the newspaper. That's what I went to.
I think you go to the obviously it's online and different.
Now go to the problem and make memories. You know
you played ball bars. You're missing my point. It would
have been a tough sell to tell a kid whose
life revolved around baseball to miss the game. I don't

(05:17):
think I would have the more I think about it.
It's not an easy decision, but I don't think I
would have. So you can't tell me you're the most
competitive guy ever, but you would have chose to corny party.
I'm the one guy in the room that still plays
competitives because you're still searching for that glory. I guess no,
because you would have just sports the party bus, get
out of here. That's that's that's lame to me, now
I think about it. You don't enjoy your cumber bun.

(05:39):
I'm trying to win a game at that stage of
my life. No, cumber Bun, I said, what'd you say,
cinnamon buns? Cumber Let's go.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
To your phone call. Let's start with Boise Bob, Boise Bob.
What's up? Man?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (05:53):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Fella's rich? I can't I can't believe.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
I get to crack you twice in the same week.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Hey, well, you have to remember when Rich thinks to
everything he says is correct because he's rich. I mean facts. Yeah,
but that's not true. Hey, Boise, Bob, just here as
you said. It doesn't mean because he rich is so
high in himself, He's like it must be great because
I said it. That's not how it works. There's two
sides to the story. You think you're not the most
arrogant guy, because if you've got to put yourself in
a in a kid's mindset whose life revolves around sports,

(06:22):
a boy, a boy that revolves around you think boy
cares about dancing at a prom, dancing, or like getting
booty from his high school sweetheart, drinking and drinking in
a limo drink. The news to you high schoolkids are
getting booty regardless of the problem. Okay, you know what,
I want to slim your head against the counter. Let's
go the phone call Hey care for Yeah, Bois, Bob
is still there?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh Bob? Hey, sorry, sorry, Mom and dad are fighting. Hi, Bob.
Good Rich's problem is he's too busy trying to make
sure out of a ran on somebody's wrist so he
can get.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
A little action.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Dude can chase tale the rest of your life. You
can only chase glory but a few moments in your lifetime,
no matter how big that glory is, for you.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
To go play the game.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Man. That's how at first I saw how difficult of
a decision this is for high school kid. The more
I think about it as a seventeen year old or
a kid playing varsity, there's no way I'm missing that game.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
You need some Albundie stories, Rich, All right, let's go to.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Vegas, especially if the team is counting on you, because
there's one picture who.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Was the ace?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
If he's such an ace that we'd be hearing about
this kid getting a scholarship, you be hearing about this
kid he's already been drafted.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Dude, he had an under one era. He's their guy.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't know how competitive this you said, this is
like a small town matter because it's all they know.
So you know, it might not in the grand scheme
of things. Yeah, a big deal, but it's a big
deal to them in that town of wherever they are
in Florida. Let's go trip in Vegas is back trip.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hey, gentlemen, Rich, you know I love you. Cavino here
my guy always. Hey, I had a chance, I already
had everything booked for the prom done, We got invited
to this prestigious golf tournament, and then at that tournament,
I actually signed my letter of intent and we won.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
So I could care.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Like the callers said, glory is glory. I mean, girls
come and go. What happened to glory was what was
exciting for me.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
But you're guaranteeing some type of glory. What if they
would have got whooped? What if it was like a
lackluster game.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
They like, like, we don't know until you play the game.
I mean I can't.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
It would division based on what if we lose. It
would have eate me alive to not be there for
the team. I think, all right, And like I said,
what would you tell your kid, because you know we're
adults now, I would have I would leave it up
to my kid, Hey, this is your decision, but I
would I think I would have advise my kid to
wear the com you made a commitment to this team.
I would tell my kid, you have one problem. You're

(08:42):
not going to want to look back and be like
I skip my prom. Yeah, but like I said, I
think they party afterward the game is like are they
are they? I mean that again this is just poor scheduling.
I'm sure there should be some adjustment made eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. It's a national story for
a reason. For a reason, one.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Less called let's go to Alabama. Todd, We're never going
to agree. Guys, what's up Alabama? Hey, guys, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (09:10):
And so I I played a baseball playoff game and
went to the prom same night.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, we started at one o'clock, moved up, game ended
up being thirteen innings.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
We won.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, that's what I'm saying that they should make some
type of compromise to kids, basically say move the game up. Yeah,
they can say to live the perfect life of Alabama.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
What's the name?

Speaker 7 (09:37):
Todd?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Toabama? Toad Alabama. Todd got it right. I mean they
should move the game. This should not be an issue
to begin with. I think it's awful to put a
kid in that scenario. Choose your senior prom or play
in a playoff game like that's that's something a kid
shouldn't have to choose. Schedule makers put it in AI,
make it work.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who else we are wrap it up with Hi?

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Yeah, we wrapped it with Todd.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Thank you, Todd. Now there's another baseball story which is
kind of funny. This is funny and it involves I
called them the Sacramento As because they play in Sacramento,
but legally it.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Might be going the mud Skippers stadium.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
What's it called the what I always forget like some
sort of like catfish?

Speaker 1 (10:16):
What is it? MUD's Mudcats?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Mud?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Not the Mudcats. It's not Sacramento mud Skippers, the scaley Weggs.
I got it.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I always forget rich and I have been there there
again to watch them play.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
It is Sutter Health Park, Yeah, yeah, but what is
the name of the team that plays there, The mud Chickens. No,
it's like the mud Mud Mud is it Mutter crust Grabbers,
the tough Mutters?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So they play at a minor league stadium in Sacramento?

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Is the river Cats?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
River Cats?

Speaker 7 (10:49):
There?

Speaker 5 (10:49):
It is?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
That was way off.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
They played at the river Cats same and it's such
a great vibe because all the old people in the
community are there welcoming you to the ball.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
People sigure your score.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
The people that scan your tickets were like, like really
nice seniors that like can't like they're probably have a
great time with the bulgey.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
My name's Zebeneezer and.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
It's a really cool ballpark feel, and that's what they're
playing until, of course, they make Vegas their home.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
But much like the Tennessee Titans, who weeks ago shipped
out merch to fans that had a new logo on
it and then the team's like, oh, yeah, by the way,
that's our new logo. It's very Houston oilers like it
was a little I guess you would say, what a misstep.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
There was a posting, and the story today is did
the A's really leak the Las Vegas name change in
a job posting?

Speaker 7 (11:50):
So we don't know if this is legititer or.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
At least a placeholder name, because there are jobs posted
to work for the new Vegas baseball team that'll be
there soon the now A's soon to be Vegas whoever. Yeah,
and the job postings were listed under hey, do you
want to work for the Las Vegas black Fire?

Speaker 7 (12:10):
That was what was in the location on the job posting.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
And people like they were removed and reposted without the
blackfire after people caught win. So you know, we speculated,
we said, my I remember the answer I went with.
I was like they should call themselves the Aliens because
they could keep the A logo the Las Vegas Aliens,
but go with the a's But.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Vegas kid in the backyard saw Alien. Yes, tall, you could.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I mean they already.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
There's so many like Area fifty one, the Vada references
like make the stadium almost spaceship, like I mean, the
Raiders stadium looks like a room, but you know, like
just I think it's a great angle.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
The Vegas fifty ones said death Star Rung. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
So so is it gonna be the Las Vegas Black
Fire or now that they get a public response, does
it backfire because I don't see people really saying that
they love it. I think it's actually pretty cool, though,
saying some are saying that might be just like like
a people holding place, like a holding place, like a
marketing firm holding name Vegas black the Las Vegas Blackfire.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
I know Danny g looked it up and he said,
it's some sort of firm out there, But like, is
that a reference to gambling or is there some some
sort of Vegas reference that I don't know to that.
I do think it's wild that they can't keep the
A's the Athletics without some type of like, do you
think this is an opportunity for that franchise to restart

(13:40):
or do you think it would be a shame to
lose a franchise with such a legendary color scheme and
name as the Athletics, that that green and gold, that
green and yellow, this class I mean that. Why did
they say they can't keep the color scheme? I mean
they could keep remember say they couldn't keep the name.
Then we talk about the very few teams in sports
with green, right, yeah, they were the only Yeah in

(14:03):
baseball they're the only team. Yeah, So unless you want
to count like the Mariners got a hint of green,
I think.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
And an update on this, MSN is reporting that the
term Blackfire in Vegas refers to a coworking space located
near the A's Ballpark Experience Center.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
So very specific, so like a little placeholder of a name.
But but I do wonder what would it take and
should they try to somehow work out a deal to
keep the A's colors and name. It makes me think
of you know, you got to keep things like this
top secret when it comes to naming a team a business,

(14:39):
a baby, a baby, especially because I remember my mom.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I acted.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I made the accident of telling my mom, and now
you're looking back at you know she was right, because
I'm happy with what I went with. But we made
the mistake of telling my mom what we were thinking
about naming my daughter back in the day. And I
sort of slipped in conversation. She's like, what, you're gonna
name her of that? And I don't want to say
it to offend anybody. She goes, that's a She's like,

(15:07):
that's an ugly girl's name. Let's see, let's just put
it that like she said something along those lines. I'm like, oh,
she sort of ruined it for me. Now, ugly girl's name.
I'm not gonna now now I can't name her. That's why.
That's why sometimes you don't leave it up to You
don't name it up to people. You just decide to
put it out there just to see what it was.
Sort of buzzed that they gather people. To me, it
feels more like a placeholder. I'm just more intrigued. Besides

(15:29):
this name Carino do if you were a fan of
that franchise, or you are in Vegas and You're like, sweet,
were getting a baseball team. Do you like the idea
of a fresh go or do you like the idea
of no?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Man, those are historic colors and.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
The athletics if rebranded a little bit could be cool.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Or do you say no, no, that's I don't want
you like, do you look at that.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Vegas doesn't have any sort of uniformed color. I mean
they're black and gold and black and silver and right,
so there's no uniform uniformity, like like a Pittsburgh would have.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
Keep the colors. They can change the name, but keep
the A As you said, that would be dope.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, because there's always that balance cove of keeping tradition alive,
but also like starting fresh, like Vegas has an opportunity
to really rebrand like new merch, new vibes. You know,
Vegas has a baseball team. Do you want to shed
all of the history of the A's Or you're like, no, no,
there's a lot of legacy there. The Bash brothers, Dave Stewart,

(16:27):
Reggie and Jacksony go back to catfish like Raleigh Fingers.
I mean, as much as you can, just because you
want to pull that that fan base. You know you
want to keep as many fans possible as you can
and win over some new ones.

Speaker 8 (16:40):
One reason to maybe keep the name was it's not
exclusive to Oakland. They were the Athletics and previous stops
in Kansas City and Philadelphia, so it's a name that.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Has traveled to different spots as well.

Speaker 8 (16:52):
So why it would stay with Oakland wouldn't have been
in tradition with the actual nickname if you kept it
in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
I'm curious if you surveyed all Athletics fans, would they say,
you know, they're moving to Vegas, we're pumped about it.
Keep the name or do you think the baseball world
would benefit more Camino from like a fresh new like yeah,
they're the you.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Know, the Vegas Alien invaders or something.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Right.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Well, my understanding was they couldn't keep the name like
I would negotiating, I would at least keep the colors,
to keep some of the tradition, because I don't know
if you followed what I said. If you're starting a
new franchise, you still want to get as many old
fans as you can, not just new fans, so you
want to keep the old Dave Stewart, Dave Parker, Ricky
Henderson fans, the Rolly Finger fans from yesteryear, and then

(17:40):
went over new Vegas fans as well.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
So keep the.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Colors, change the name, and you know, start something new
at the same time. But as of now, the rumor
is Vegas Blackfire.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Was this leaked?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Was this sort of testing the waters to see what
the feedback was. I don't hate it by any means,
but you guys or just a placeholder? And Cavino do
you think I mean, what did the million Dollar Man
teach us when we were.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Kids that everybody has a price?

Speaker 2 (18:07):
So I mean, if they want the athletics name, yeah,
they can negotiate, They could get it. It just has a
lot of money. There's a lot, there's a lot of
flow flowing around. So all right, your thoughts on that.
And plus next we play Brainwave. You want in eight seven, seven,

lines right now. Then I'll explain the rules. Isaiah and
Boise was the first three.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Hey, Isaiah was all on yo.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Longtime listener?

Speaker 7 (22:43):
Love you guys, Thank you, Thank you brother. What do
you do for living there in Idaho?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm an insurance agent.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
And by the way earlier, I have your back, Rich
I'm totally on board with you.

Speaker 7 (22:53):
I didn't get to go to prom and uh and
I've got your back on that one for sure.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well you know, I thought about it. More people don't
want to go to prom. Probably sucked at baseball. Get
out of here, all.

Speaker 7 (23:05):
Right, here we go. I have five rounds ready to go.
Our contestant needs to win two of them to be
the champ and walk away with a CNR prize pack.
I'm gonna ask a question and then give three debatable
answers to choose from the six of us in studio.
Are going to write down our answers on these dry
erase boards. Hold them up, boys, So get onto our
YouTube channel right now. Then on the count of three,
caller shouts out his answer, Isaiah, you got a match

(23:26):
with four out of the six of us to win
the round or no matter his answer, if all six
of us match, he automatically gets that round. Are you ready?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Ready, let's go.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
All right, here we go Round one. Let's start with
the relationship category.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Love it, Let's go.

Speaker 7 (23:42):
And by the way, Bursch is here on his last
day at FSR.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh, this is a bye bye Bersa moment.

Speaker 7 (23:47):
His better half is here to witness this relationship category question.
Which of these is worse when trying to watch a
show with your significant other her face is stuck in
her phone, she starts comparing scenes to your personal life,
or she keeps getting up to do other things. Which

(24:08):
is worse? Oh, face in her phone starts comparing scenes
to your personal life, or she keeps getting up to
do other things.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
And the question is when you're watching a show with
your significant right when you're watching a show, HM, got.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
It all writing our answers down.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
And let me know when you're locked in yes, yes,
like all right, and we need Isaiah's answer on the
count of three, one, two three, stuck in face stuck
in the.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Phone, face in the phone.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
All right. We start with Steve Covino.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I mean, I think everybody's face is stuck in the
phone nowadays. So I'm saying getting up, because that's even
more rude. Now, like if you're getting up doing things that,
to me, that's more rude. So I said getting up.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
This guy's a clown, Isaiah. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
When you're watching a show and you're trying to follow
a plotline, even if it's a reality show, and you
look over to me, you're putting your phone down. The
guy that had fourteen hours on his phone last week, Dude,
I put my phone.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Down, and I'll turn to my wife. But can you
believe and she's looking at her phone.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I feel disrespected phone.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
All right, that's just the way of the world. You know.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
They're actually making shows that are dumb. You could watch
along with your phone.

Speaker 7 (25:19):
All right. We go to Dan byer facing phone. There
you go, all right, two points four we go to
bursh uh yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
So this was this was hard to answer with my
wife standing right in front of me. So I think
probably what would be the worst out of these three
is like when the villain in a show does something
and she turns to me and she's like, oh, this
is like the time when you did.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
This, right, huh yeah. Isn't that terrible? So I said,
personal life on this show, oh, sort of like what
she watches Bridgerton, and she's like, you are not.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
I was close to agreeing with Bursch because I don't
like those comparisons either, because it takes you out of
the fantasy of the show too. But I also said
facing phone because I do cove I do put my
phone away. When we're trying to watch an episode of
you Know, Your Friends and Neighbors and I look over
and she missed something because she's looking at you know,
online shopping.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Ny. What I'm saying is I sometimes look at my wife.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Cavino makes one of because I say I look at
my wife but for a reactionually, oh my.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
God, babe, And if she's not feeling what I'm feeling,
because she's scrolling.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
All right, well, it all comes down to Iowa Samuel,
right now, I.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Thought it did?

Speaker 9 (26:28):
I think though, when you're actually missing part of what
you're watching, that's the worst. So I said, keep leaving.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
So Isaiah doesn't get that round. But sorry, Isiah, got
a few more here, a few more trust Isoa.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Sam's girlfriend goes out to the shed in the backyard.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Yes, are you all right? Round two? Let's go to
the lifestyle category. This is fitting because of what's happening
on our show next week. Which is the better vacation destination, Rome,
Maui or Tokyo. These are all listed as a top
three favorite destinations, Rome, Maui or Tokyo. Let me know

(27:11):
when you're locked in?

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Locked in?

Speaker 7 (27:14):
All right, Isaiah?

Speaker 1 (27:16):
One?

Speaker 7 (27:16):
Two, three, go Maui, he says, Maui. We go in
reverse order. We start with Iowa sam been a Mali
beautiful spot. But I said, of Rome, food man, come
on the story. But history man, nothing beats Maui. So
he gets a point from me. All right, what say
you burshuh?

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Yeah, I figured you would say Maui. I think that's
a strong answer. I was in Tokyo A couple of
weeks ago and I loved it.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
Yes, was your honeymoon?

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Right? Yes? Yeah it was?

Speaker 7 (27:51):
dB.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Give me Rome. That's all right, Jim Romero, alright, mathemat
he's out right. But what you say, Rich, I mean Maui.
I'm with you, bro.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's where Rich does his favorite sex move. That's when
the kids are sleeping. I call it the Maui plowy.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
You don't have to beat that, Salmon. I'm letting it go.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
Would you say? Covino?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Tokyo's great? I've been there.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I'm actually going this week and then I'm going to
Korea after that. Wow, Now he's great. I've never been
to Rome. It's got to be Roman. It sounds like
more historical. And I don't know it's You're not going
to North Korea?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Are you?

Speaker 7 (28:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Actually yeah, I'm getting a Kim Jong un haircut.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
By the way, please support our show next week when
Dan Byer and Moncy Phil d it. All right, so
we go to round three. You need to get on
the board here, Isaiah. I'm gonna go to the sports category.
All right, listen to these choices and I'll repeat them,
but listen closely. What's worse being the pitcher who gives
up a clutch homer and and then the hitter bat

(28:57):
flips being the defender in the who gets dunked on
and posterized, or being the linebacker who gets trucked and
pushed backwards into the end zone by a running back.
Sorry one more time. Yeah, so the pitcher who gives
up a clutch homer and they hit her bat flips
on you being the defender in the paint who gets
dunked on and posterized, or being a linebacker who gets

(29:19):
trucked and pushed backwards into the end zone by a
running back, which is worse. Locked in All right, all
writing our answers down, Locky.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Doodl, Dan, let me know when you're locked unlocked locked.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
Isaiah on the counter three one two three, dunked on posterized,
he says, posterized. Do we start with Steve Covino.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It's gotta be dunked on, posterized. That's a lasting image.
You're posterized. You're embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
It's like you just got dunked on.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Boom, all right, Rich, you know now that you're saying it.
They make posters of dunks like I remember my friends
would have the John Starks dunking over Jordan Poster.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
But I feel like you.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Could just be badfooting and it's it's not as embarrassing.
I feel like, if you're a pitcher on the mound
and you give up a key home run, to me,
that's like, oh, there's no more empty feeling if you
were pitched in any level. If you give a home
home run up, you feel like a piece of garbage.

Speaker 8 (30:19):
All right, we go to Dampier Lucky to save had
all three of these happened to me and my my
high school career. Posterize the point, and we go to.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Bersh I said, dunked on, No, that's what we need
one more.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
I also said poster just for fun, Sam, what did
you say?

Speaker 1 (30:41):
I also said the defender in the pain getting dunked on?

Speaker 7 (30:45):
All right? Halfway halfway to see an our prize pact
for Isaya in Boise. We go to round four the
music category. Which of these instruments is the most impressive
to shred on in front of a live audience the drums,
the saxophone, or the piano?

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Easy?

Speaker 7 (31:03):
You think?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
So?

Speaker 7 (31:04):
There's a lot of arguing online about this music category.
Which of these instruments is the most impressive to shred
on in front of a live audience. The drums, the saxophone,
or the piano.

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Locked wait, there's a there's an instrument missing where that
term shred actually comes from.

Speaker 7 (31:20):
That would be a runaway Okay, thanks, So we're all
writing our answers down all right, all right, and Isaiah,
we need your answer on the counter three one two,
three drums, he says, drums. All right, we go in
reverse order. We start with Io Samuel.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
I think this is a personal favorite, I said, the saxophone.
No Clinton, I love you, I love Kenny g I
love a good sax solo. Man, it gets me going?
Is that Baker Streets?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Can you isolate that? But the way a good sax
solo gets me going?

Speaker 7 (32:03):
But the question was the most impressive. I feel like
there's a lot of impressive drummers, but when someone really
gets going crazy on the piano, we were just talking
about still dri I said, piano. All right, we go
to Bursch.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
I think when you go to a show where there's
a drum solo baked into the show, where the rest
of the band leaves and there's I've never been to
a single show where that's happened, and it's not been impressive.
So I said, drums, I said, drum.

Speaker 7 (32:29):
Point all right, TV.

Speaker 8 (32:30):
I've never been to a show where I didn't leave
when the drum solo started.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
So I said, sax saxophone.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Say well, I feel like you could fake a drum solo.
You could give me a pair of drumsticks that I
could be like. And I played the saxophone in high school.
Not impressive, Billy, Joel, He's a piano man. Alicia Keys
plays a piano. There's nothing more pressive than someone on
a piano. Guys are bavoon talk good? Jar is number one.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Piano's drums easy, It's the easiest.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Answer is drums. There's nothing more impressive. Dan, I can't
believe you get up in the middle of the drum, Soel.
Sometimes they have dueling drum players. Sorry, dueling drum bar.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's a doing piano bar, you clown, Who do you are?
A crocodile rock boy?

Speaker 7 (33:12):
Nobody hears on the same brainway. Yeah, Isaiah, I'm sorry.
There's only one category left. You need to to win,
so that ends your run. Here gives us a couple
of minutes to say goodbye to Bush doesn't didn't.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Thank you, guys, this was the last one.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
No, no, they're right. I'm so sorry. You're right.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
TV.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
All right, so here we go.

Speaker 8 (33:33):
This is your last chance. Looks like somebody start a
vacation early. Yea, no, thank you for keeping the score.
All right, here we go, last chance. We'll go back
to the sports category. Which of these cities would you
rather live and play pro sports in? Good Saint Louis,
Buffalo or Salt Lake City?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Oh boy?

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Which of these.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Cities or through good cities we have affiliates?

Speaker 7 (33:56):
Would you rather live and play pro sports in Saint Louis,
Buffalo or Salt Lake? All right, lock, all right, we're
all writing our answers down. Everybody locked, yep, all right,
Isaiah on the count of three, one, two, three, salt Lake,

(34:16):
he says, Salt Lake. Steve Covino, we start with you.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Dang, I said, Saint Louis, big Sportstown. I don't want to.

Speaker 7 (34:24):
Be in Buffalo A little bit of bandit't lately though?

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Buffalo Buffalo is too cold. Salt Lake, No, I mean beautiful.
I went to St. Louis still, yeah, Dan byer, have
you guys been to Saint Louis. Yeah, I almost got
killed under the arch. That place is awful. Give me
Buffalo and Bush.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Love Bill's Mafia. The food in Buffalo is fantastic. I
went Buffalo all over.

Speaker 7 (34:50):
Well, I gave you a point. Isaiah, I said, Salt Lake.
You ever been to Canyon Lands in Utah? Beautiful? What'd
you say for fun? Iowa?

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Sam?

Speaker 7 (34:57):
I said, Buffalo Ah.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Sorry, on a different wave, I should say.

Speaker 7 (35:06):
Isaiah, thank you for listening every day in Idaho and
playing the game.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
You guys, Thank you man. Have a great, great weekend.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
And like Danny G said, this is a farewell and
a goodbye to our good pal Burshie boy, Ryan Burschingery.
Uh tremendous run here at Fox Sports Radio. He was
walking on in these hallways long before we got here. Yeah,
and Jay Stu, I know you, Uh you wanted to
say your own farewell, Ja Stu.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Let's talk about Jay Stue to the show. First of all,
thanks for having me on your show.

Speaker 7 (35:38):
I love being on this program. I will be on
the program all next week with Dan Byron wants to bond.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
All right, that's j Stu. But it's not about me.
I'm not gonna make this about me. I'm gonna make
it about Ryan Berschinger. I'm gonna speak for the network
here for a second and say that nobody is nicer
and nobody laughs at your jokes harder than Ryan Berschinger
job so interpersonally, he's just a great to have around
and he's going to be missed professionally speaking. The very

(36:05):
first person that I met when I walked in the
building at Fox Sports Radio five years ago with Ryan Berschinger.
He was assigned with teaching me the ropes, showing me
the place. It realized it kind of it dawned on
me like six months later that Ryan Berschinger could do
my job, and he was told to train this new
guy to do a job that he was qualified to do.

(36:26):
He was completely gracious and unselfish. He could have resented me,
he could have sabotaged me, but he was so generous
and that lived out for the next five years. He's
a professional, he's proactive. He takes the initiative in this
creative space that we all exist in. You want somebody
to bring you ideas, you want somebody to ask you

(36:48):
if they could help. Ryan Berschinger does that. Anybody could
just show up and do what they're supposed to do.
Ryan Berschinger went above and beyond that, and he became
the one word that all of us try to become
when we leave a shop, and that's irreplaceable. If that's
a word. Yeah, that replaced Thank you.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Hey, you all said Jay stew And, Man, you're gonna
be miss Ryan for sure. But I don't want to
take any time away from dB because you guys had
a long run too, right, I mean over ten years
together working?

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Yeah we did.

Speaker 8 (37:21):
Yeah, So I've loved working with Ryan throughout those years,
even when he started as an intern. So I know
he's off to bigger and better things, but he is
someone that I trusted wholeheartedly when we were ever doing
shows or working together. So he will be sorely missed.
He's made a lot of friends here, we saw with
everything that I told him, I said, I'm going to
miss him more as a worker than an actual friend,

(37:43):
because that's how good of an employee he was.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, I gon to miss him laughing at all my
bad jobs. You're were right about that, Jason. I thought
the same thing, like, what a guy to laugh at
my bad jokes?

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I also thought Covino was throwing to me because they
do have an update to do.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
