Speaker 3 (00:59):
But what?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh? Yeah, well you know what. Let's walk out first
into our Thursday night. How about that? And then I'll
talk about you. But what have you ever wiped a
piece of dry toilet paper and wondered, is this as
good as it gets? It's not switched to life changing

Get it, pants down, pants down? You ever want to
wipe it? A dry piece of toilet paper in your
phone dies too? It's like, man, is this what am
I supposed to do? Is this as good as it gets? Man?
So we do it every Thursday. We go all school
(01:44):
and you know that throwback Thursday phrase? You know when
that started? By the way, think you guess? And how
to be into social media? Think about in the early days.
Two thousand and nine, oh six, Oh wow, this will
be the twenty year anniversary of us using the phrase
throwback Thursday. Tvt and we throw it back old school
(02:07):
and fifty hits on the clock. Lebron so much going on.
Lebron James has a trading mark. Yeah, that and Taco Tuesday.
And today we look back. I think we kind of
have to look back. I'm saying starting from ninety two,
I'll explain why. But the reason we're talking about reality
shows today is because on this day in two thousand
(02:30):
and four, they're saying one of the best reality shows
arguably debut and that is Apprentice with Donald Trump. Right,
that was before The Apprentice with people were divided on him.
They said, hey, you know, he's a hell of a
TV show host. So we liked this show, The Apprentice
debut to know four. But I'm gonna even add to
this fired fire. Oh poor Michael Daniels that you fired.
(02:54):
You're fired? Who does a better? Who does it better?
You're fired? Donald Trump fired? Or Vince mc mann. I
think Vince. I was gonna say, your old boss from
Z one hundred. Yeah, that's true, that is true. You
know I got you know, I got fired once because
I got caught on another radio station. I was cheating
(03:16):
on a radiole story anyway, But based on that, we
want to throw it back to some of your favorite
reality show memories and your favorite ones. Really, but it's
not just the Bachelor, I'm sure, jeez, I give it away.
It's not just The Apprentice today. The Bachelorette debuted on
this day, no way.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, and a different year.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Your favorite show I Love New York debute on his day,
and I wanted to let everyone know, what are the
chances of only show's debuting on this day? I probably
just had what that like Winter lineup hits? Right, Eh, yeah,
that's pretty wild. But Isaac Lowne Crown's favorite show, and
I believe I was Sam loved it as a kid
three and three quarter stars Star Search, Oh with Ed McMahon.
(03:53):
They are revamping it and it debuts on Netflix January twentieth,
and it's so weird. Jelly rolls a judge, Sarah, Michelle
Geller and Chrissy Tiagan and it's hosted by Anthony Anderson.
Weird if you mean the slim and Trim Anthony Anderson.
Have you seen him? You mean the slim and Trim
Jelly rule. Yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of weird says
that show sponsored by Hols Epic seriously. So, based on
(04:16):
all these anniversaries and the anniversary of the Apprentice on
this day, all those years ago, what were the OG
favorites the greatest? Because it really changed everything the way
we watched the TV. You know, for me, I said,
it goes back to ninety two because I associate the
real world with one of the first like real nonscripted shows.
(04:37):
In that way, you could say game shows or competition
shows are the original reality shows. But the real world
for me on MTV ninety two sort of changed the
game as far as what people wanted to watch. Kaminos
a big Johnny bananas guy. No, my sister is actually yeah,
but no, I think it really changed. It changed MTV
(04:59):
has it. That's when we stopped watching videos.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
And for our age group, we weren't out of the
house yet. We were maybe getting towards that point, but
it was interesting to see others who were a few
years older than us, you know, living out on their
own for the first time.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Now, when you talk about the best reality shows of
all time, you could include reality like dating and game
shows or following people around. I'm gonna give you my two.
I don't want to take the answers, but I have
to throw it out there. I have two distinct favorites,
ones in the dating world and ones like following people
around it. Okay, and I know Covino is gonna agree
with me. Based on Whirred Grew Up, I think the best,
(05:34):
hands down reality show. Yeah, we don't pump our gas,
We pump our fist Jersey Jersey. Sure, yeah, two thousand
and nine. Those clowns kept our interest on a whole
new level. And the reality pun intended is if you
grew up on the East Coast, you knew people like that,
but the rest of the country was like these people
(05:56):
for real, true story. We actually wrote a song. We
have a band, or had a band called the Dirty
Jersey Poets, a Ticklesack spin off, and we wrote a
song called we don't pump our Gas, we pump our
fists because we don't pump our gas in New Jersey,
we pump our fists, and they used it for the
Jersey Shore, they used it on the show. We got credited,
(06:17):
and every stupid parody song was actually on the soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Of The Jey Create I remember.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You can find it somewhere online if you look hard enough.
And we know what's interesting about that is being in
radio for as long as we've been, we've interviewed a
lot of really famous people, and at their height, I'm
not sure there was anyone bigger than Getting Snooky and
Paulie d And it was like they were the biggest
gets at that time. Sam. At that time, I was Sam,
(06:44):
I know you could roll your eyes to this, but
I promise you when when we were booking big guests,
He's right, Like what it was like snookies in today?
It was a big deal. People were like, wait, snookies here?
It was. It was a big deal. So I'm gonna
go my favorite following people around reality show. Okay, Jersey Shore.
That's great, and I'm gonna go more current from my
(07:04):
favorite dating show. I'm fascinated and still think as far
as dating shows, Love is Blind there's something about it.
These dopes go in a pod, they talk to people
without seeing them. You said it so matter of factly,
like your dad, Oh, love is blind blind because they
they clearly once they see each other it's not gonna
(07:25):
work out. But that like attempt to be like we
really clicked in the pods, you know, when they see
each other and it's like, yeah, you're not hot enough.
And it's because it's an experiment that we all got
to witness. I always wondered, that's ridiculous, and you know
it's again it's a dating show. You could say, oh,
how real is it? I'm going Jersey Shore and Love
(07:45):
is Blind are my answers. Well, I don't know if
I have favorites. I never really loved the world of
reality TV. But there's one I want to give credit to.
Right again, we're talking about it because The Princess debut
on this day in two thousand and four, along with
a few other shows. I mentioned Real World ninety two
people debate that was the start of this. But we
(08:06):
got to credit the late great Ozzy Osbourne for allowing
the cameras in sha his household and seeing a completely
different side of Ozzy. Like you know, on paper, you're like,
that's gonna be weird, and who cares about his kids?
And they made it so entertaining. I remember coming home
from work and I'd see my family cracking up, my
younger siblings cracking up, laughing. All of a sudden, Ozzy
(08:29):
Osbourne became like this, this wholesome dude that everybody loved
and got a kick out. The Prince of Darkness. Was
that like comedic relief yea and amazing yeah, And you
realized how charming he was. And I think a lot
of people saw what it did for his family and
his career, and they followed suit and that really opened
the doors for a lot of other families and unlikely
(08:51):
situations to happen in the world of reality TV. And
that debuted March fifth, two thousand and two, like hoaging
those best. Yeah, there was a lot of shows and
families that follow after that. So I want to give
credit to the Osbourne's other families, you know, I'll throw
it one more out there. And then the phones were
all lit and by the way, you got a credit MTV.
MTV played a big part in a lot of this stuff,
(09:11):
and so there was a ruined the videos, but it changed.
It became a movement. Cavino used to make fun of
me because I would always se the same name in
the credits. There was a woman, Sally Salsano.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Sally.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Every every reality show at that time was like produced
by her, so I was like, she must be making
banks was one more. I didn't really watch it, but
I was fascinated. I thought it was a cool concept
when they took the Cole Ritchie in Paris Hilton and
put them in like the country life and made them
do like milk and cows and all that crap. Someone
could produce the show about us doing that, for sure,
(09:41):
Simple life. I thought it was a cool concept. I
didn't watch it, but I feel like the girl I
was dating at the time loved and I feel like
a lot of girls in college were like, I'm rich
and I to a Lascar race and we could recreate
this show.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, I was on the phones. I don't think you
guys mentioned this one. I just got one because I
remember thinking to myself and I was I think we
were probably in our li eight twenties when this was
on Rock of Love.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Do you remember the like the Brett Michaels.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yes, my grandmother would call them hussies, but they were
like rock like party.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They were rock Hussies. It was the equivalent of like
like Flavor of Love rock a love like Yeah, it was.
It was all these like not you know, not to
be rude, but formerly huge rock stars Brett Michaels and
then Flavor Flavor on the hip hop side. Do you
want to date a former like rock star or hip
hop star? And the girls like went out for those
(10:32):
shows were even crazier than Like The Bachelor. In fact,
we met one of them in Vegas. This is a
girl's on Flavor of Love. If she was on Flavor
of Flow, Yeah, her name is Ice, which is not
a great name to have. Now, my flavor flav gave
her that name on the show, and she's now a rock.
She's a rock hoast for iHeart and and she she
(10:53):
metastand she's like, hey guys, I'm Ice and you know,
and she straight up the first thing she said was like, yeah,
I got that name was a I was a flavor
of love. She said it changed her life. Yeah, so
it prompts to her. Yeah, it's insane. So what were
your favorites? What do you think maybe never got enough
credit or your favorite moments as we look back at
at something that really changed the way we watched television
(11:13):
reality TV, which I got. I was saying, I have
a quick one.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
I'm not a huge reality TV fan, but I actually
sought out this show. It was on True TV. It
started in twenty ten. Not Pond Stars, but hardcore Pond.
It was following this guy less Gold than his family
and it was right off of eight Mile in Detroit.
And it was so funny because these people would come
in to sell something at this pawn shop owned by
less Gold, and it was like clearly staged, like a
little bit like they'd pay these people but they'd have
(11:38):
the funniest interactions these like people who are like on
drugs or they're just like down and out trying to
sell some fake watch and they'd have these big blow
ups with less Gold in his family, and it was
just like so entertaining.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Oh you know, it's another good reality show, if you
want to call it that. There was one where I
believe someone got stabbed on the show. Do you guys
remember watching Cheaters? Oh?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah, that I think, Yeah, that was Joey Greco.
But wasn't that We found out it was actually stage.
He might love that a lot, like a blood packet
or something. But he was on a boat and he
gets stabbed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
By a guy.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I do remember that, but you know, based on Sam Star,
I do remember hardcore pawn by the way, I was
a big fan in the early days of pawn Stars,
before Rick became a sort of a jerk in my opinion,
scamming people. Yay, I'll give you two dollars for it.
That started in two thousand and nine. I just remember
(12:28):
getting a real kick out of like chum Lee and like,
look at these guys man. Then they started slaying it
and they became superstar celebrities. But I was a big
fan early on there, and when it comes to those
type of shows, I'm also a big fan of American Pickers.
So shout out to Mike Wolfe. I like that show
on the History Channel. Let me hit you up with
what might be the original? I don't I don't necessarily
consider that a reality show. People, So well, I'm with
(12:50):
you with the Jersey shore Rich. That might be my
all time favorite when I think about it, Danny, we
all say real world, right, like when we're talking before
the shows, like, well, Michael, it's the real world for
that style, we have reality TV. Would you go back
even further and say, well, as far as reality goes,
was there reality? Remember Cops Cops was on when we
were kids. Hell, you and you could argue that was real?
(13:10):
I mean it was real. What you're gonna Donna do?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
And you Big Mica, who doesn't run anything, brought up
the great point of like America's funniest videos and shows
like that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He said, camera.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, all the way back because those shows did have
a slice of reality.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Boo baby, do you remember the theme song? It was
really If you could give me the first line of that,
I'll buy you lunch, I'll give you. Don't look it up, America,
look at you.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
But that was like the last line, America, America, this
is you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That was the story is from your friend next door.
They never tell camera. It's the red, white and blue,
the fun of things you do, America, this is you.
We gotta get a life. I know we do. Let's
(14:08):
go to Fred in Virginia. Beat that fred what's up, buddy, Freddy?
Fred Ward?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (14:20):
I was calling about the news drops that he dropped
with about the Detroit Lions bringing in Mike McDonald mcdame. Daniel,
all right, now you guys are on reality shows. Hard
Knocks has got to do one if he goes Troy.
My god, Hard Knocks is already great. I was gonna
mention that, but like, think about the two of those
(14:42):
guys together.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
By the way, Daniel, I love that call, and I
love the tie in. I love how you brought that up.
But you know what I give credit to and I
could be way off on this. Before Hard Knocks, you
know what really changed the game. I think when it
came to inside look at sports twenty four seven, bah Yo,
twelve four seven would get you so high for those
Mayweather fights and Pocky own Man. Those were voiced by
(15:07):
Lev Shreiber, right, and he did a stellar job. He
would they would get you so high for these fights
that you probably normally wouldn't care about joy.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
There would be no Hard Knocks without twenty four.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We're all on the same page. Twenty four seven. It
was great, And you know, it's so funny. I was
gonna bring up hard Knocks because I was going to say,
recently in the world of sports, I think receiver and
quarterback on Netflix have been great, but they're just really
you know, a different spin on really hard knocks, right,
but you're just following around some players. But with He's right,
Dan Campbell, Mike McDaniel, and we saw what a character
I'm Aoran Saint Brown is on receiver. Like if they
(15:40):
did hard Knocks, I know there's a criteria, and I
think that you missed the playoffs, right, So the Lions
did miss the playoffs. The Lions would be a very
interesting follow That was a great great, Yeah, that's awesome. Yoh, Fred,
thanks brother. Let's add a trip in Vegas who we
saw a couple of days ago. It's up Trap Trip.
It was great. Hanging man. What's up?
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Hey, good afternoon. Great to hear. I just want people
and know live. Your hair looks even better than on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It's a shame that I'm covering it with a Yankee
hat for there. Yeah, thank you the best air and radio.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
No shame in a Yankee hat. So I'll give you
four quick ones and I'll let y'all comments, not in
any order. I was going to say American Idol Storage
Wars deadliest catch in Fear Factor.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yoh, Joe Rogan, who is like, you know, top of
the Game of podcasts are crazy crazy Joe Rogan Yo.
Fear Factor was his first gig when he had hair.
I showed my kids a clip of that. I'm like, hey,
but it's back with Johnny Knox. I know, yeah, it's
coming back. The preview was on. I showed my kids
and I go, my daughter's name is Emmy. I'm like, Emmy,
if I told you, I'd give you like hundreds of
(16:39):
dollars to buy a bunch of toys or whatever you wanted,
but you had to like going a little tankful of
like snake. She's like, I don't know, yes, no, yeah,
Like it's funny to show was so groundbreaking. Where it
lost its way in my opinion is it went from
fear factor to like gross factor, like how gross are
you willing to get? It wasn't It wasn't like the
(17:00):
eat this disgusting pistacle, you know, like it's like, oh
my god, you know, for the sake of conversation, Really
that boy, it did go from like tank of snakes
to eat testicles. You really did very quickly. Yep, me yum.
I asked my boy, chat GPT. You know what was
the first reality show? Chad GPT says An American Family
(17:21):
nineteen seventy three PBS, often called the first modern reality
TV show, found real life daily experiences of the Loud
family for several months, but it was defined as the
first reality TV show. Earlier predeces precursors Candid Camera nineteen
forty eight, seven Up nineteen sixty four, UK show Queen
(17:41):
for the Day nineteen fifties. But they do go back
and they say, bottom line, American Family nineteen seventy three
is like the official one. But Real World and Survivor
were the game changers, is what it says.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Speaking of Survivor season fifty, Oh, it's about to debut
season five.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh bitty, like maybe like two or three a year.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I would say if there was a Hall of Famer amount, Rushmore,
Propes would be on there, his whole career, his whole longevity.
How he still keeps the who was the first guy?
Richard Hatch or something. I was just going to ask
you a trivia question. He remember he didn't pay his
taxes and he went to jails.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh, you made me think of some other one. Remember those, uh,
those like average Joe shows or whatever where millionaire Joe millionaire?
You remember that one.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I thought you were going to talk about the Petros.
Those are more of the game.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That was a great Petros uh that I remember that
being a great show because it was the first time
where it's like, yeah, some dumb JABBRONI could actually test
his skills against like a retired player. I love that show.
That was a good one.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know. I'm sorry, Coven.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I was just going to say one thing that is
interesting about reality TV. It's one of the genres where
you could go from making fun of a show or
making fun of your wife or your girlfriend or boyfriend
for watching one of them, and then suddenly you get
pulled in so true, like ninety Day Fiance Brenda loves
that show and I just looked it up.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That debut in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Dude, people that love that show, Oh love it show.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I made fun of her at first. I'm like these
losers traveling to these other countries. And then I'd be
looking while I was in the kitchen, what what what
you watch?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You watch? You're watching that fact guy with no neck exactly.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
In San Diego, quick story man, the first half of
our show together, Rich and I. He'd come in talking
about the Bachelor all the time, Bachelor, and I beg,
you are the biggest weenie? Was like talking about the Bachelor.
Started dating a girl who was obsessed with the Bachelor,
and sure enough pulled me in and I sort of
take it back. I get the intrigue.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Now, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I hate myself for it, but it's true.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I don't know if this is technically a reality show,
but very fascinating a show called Junkyard Wars where they'd
build like machines out of junk in like just like
build like a hovercraft or like a go cart, and
they'd have to like compete. Yeah, and it was just
they had to do in ten hours or like twelve hours.
They build these can Draft's had a crap that see
it sounds like a fun concept.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Fun You know, Trip brought up one that I think
we got to readdress because it changed everything. Yeah, there
was star search shows like that, but like American Idol
really did revolutionize, like it. I props the seacraft and
everyone's still doing it. It's fun to watch here in
the uncleman man gets no credit. I'll watch a highlight
here there. You know, Lionel Ritchie and you know other
(20:24):
people are on the panel now. But that original American
Idol team, you know, now it's run its course, probably right,
But remember back then nobody would actually become a star.
The bummer with that show now is you win it that?
You win it now and no one knows you two
months later. But back then, remember Kelly Clarkson was like
some country bumpkin that was on a plane, never on
(20:44):
a plane, and Carrie Underwood was like some small town girl,
and Klay Aiken was a dufist. They give up like
lightning in a bottle. You couldn't have predicted that that
cast of Simon cow and Paula Abdul hadn't done anything
in years, you know, not a well known see Cress
and the Reality. Though no one would have thought it
would taken off like it did.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It was right before you could get famous from YouTube.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, and Kelly Clarkson think about it, got a daytime
TV show, probably has about fifty songs. If people know
she has a Vegas residency. She was like a game changer.
Rich because so many shows like that or a spin
on that followed, right X Factor and all those shows. Yep,
I put this in the category. I think MTV really
put out a lot of fun stuff at the time.
(21:28):
And you know, of course in the eighties we had
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leech, but.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Chris Robert Wishes and damn it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But Cribs was a lot of fun too, Man, you
don't we got to take a little peek, because tell me,
you didn't want like those man caves and their setups.
Watching that, it really made you dream big when you
saw how some of these athletes and superstars were living.
You know, you know the progression. It was Lifestyles of
the Rich and Famous, then MTV Cribs and then every
idiot just fake breaks back their life on Yeah Yeah,
(22:02):
we made it.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Do you guys remember kind of that stage kind of
like Cribs, but a very short lived show called Room
Raiders where a woman would go into a guy's house
and look through his close and be like, can I
date this dude? Break out like a black find like
stains and suff one like a date my mom that
was insinuated, Sam.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
The stains were insinuated, the stains and stuff. They couldn't see, stains, stags,
lots of stains, you know, stays U let's wrap this
with John and Montana, John Covino and Retchrands a buddy.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Hey, guys, I was just hearing that said the uh
season fifty coming up for Survivor, which is awesome. One
new one I'm bullying about right now is uh the
Traders on Teacak season four coming up tonight.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
That's probably one of the best shows up there.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Isn't Traders like it's all like the villains from former shows.
It's like girlfriends of It's like the douchiest of douches
and they're all against each other, which is like probably
a cool concept. I'd imagine, you know, Traders is all
the lists celebrities, what is it like Jack's from vander Pump.
He's probably on an event, probably Johnny Bananas in the
mid Way. It's it's a big one man vander Pump.
(23:10):
Now that you bring it up, you know that. Also,
all these shows debut around this time. I saw that
the other day, So hey, enjoy your reality TV in
honor of so many of them started on this day,
from The Bachelorette to The Apprentice to you name it,
Flavor Love, all all this day. So all right, listen,
let's get back to the NFL. I can't believe we
have all these coaching vacancies. You know, Danny, we talked
(23:32):
about how two more coaches could be fired if things
don't go well, like maybe not, but Lafleur and McDermott
they're saying this possibility a little bit of a stretch,
a little bit. But you realize, as of right now,
a fourth of the league will have a new head
coach next season. Eight out of thirty two coaches will
be brand new. Yeah, that's crazy. Which is I wonder
(23:55):
is that some type of record? You know, I'm gonna
look that up and we will talk some NBA because
you know, if you if you don't know what we're
talking about. There's a clip of Wemben Yama. I don't
know how you've missed it, but he there's balls stuck
in the rim, right stuck in the net. There's like
three or four balls stuck in the net. So Wemby
(24:17):
decides that he's gonna like karate kick him out. And
his toes are practically hitting the rim. And you have
to ask yourself stuffing balls and rim, have you ever
gotten your ball stuck?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
And no?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Have you ever seen anyone kick the rim? He crati, Yeah,
he's kicking the rim. He gets his legs up that high.
That's insane. He could be a rocket. So you know,
we're going to talk about like the craziest sports flexes,
the craziest sports flexes, because that might be like a
top three for sure. A little Wemby, some more NFL

row or so behind them, and I was like, who's
Covino talking to? For five like it was like a
New York to La fight. I'm like Covino on the
Exhibit or best Bros. It was so cool. Well, I
had a like immediate connect. I was like I pulled

so I want to talk some of the craziest sports flexes.
I know you have some things on your mind. Rich Yeah,
I mean this this Wenby thing. You know you saw
it before me because I was like, wait, what are
you guys looking at here? And I'm like, is wait
(30:22):
is his foot what? Well, like put it in perspective
growing up, this is when you realize, well, I guess
I'm never gonna make it in the NBA. Like if
you could touch the rim, that was an accomplishment first,
Like you hit the bottom of the net, You're like,
all right, I'm getting some ups here. Can you not
tell us he touches rim just standing up, not toilet. No,
(30:46):
you're just thinking playground, right, Honestly, you're nazier high school.
You're absolutely right if you're just horsing around with your
buddies at gym class or at the playground. Started with
the botry. I got the bottom. I'm not gonna be shit.
None of my friends could slam dunk. But it was
a breaking right to be like Yo, you could touch
touching rim was like all right, touching rim was you
had some up touching touching rim. At you were like
(31:08):
roughly six foot and and like you had some some
skills like I could touch rim. Started mass producing those
adjustable rims everyone had. When he lowered down to eight feet,
he starts slamming, jamming, rip rorn and ramming. All right,
that was a game changer. But for most regular people
you barely touch rim. And now you got freaks in
(31:28):
the NBA, like women and Yama. This dude could lift
his leg karate kicks. He could karate kick the rim.
Do you understand what we were saying here? That's that's im.
That's why I put it in perspective. We couldn't even
jump with our hands held high and hit the rim barely.
This guy lifts his leg up krank a little crane
kick like Daniel l Russo he touches it with his
(31:50):
big toe. Look at it this way. We've seen things
where it's like yo, You've seen a guy hit his
head on the backboard where you're like, yo, he's so
tall that he went up for a rebound and misjudge
it and he you know ups. You know sometimes I
used to pray for ups. You've never got any, Danny.
You've seen guy like players like hit their head Oh yeah,
on like the lower part of the backboard because it's
just you know, they're so big, but.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
They Lebron was trending the other night because on one
of his dunks his head was at the rim, just
above the rim, and people like this freak is forty
one in his head's above the rim.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Still by the way, blast man. But you know what,
that's something you can improve on if you work. You
worked hard enough at it, you know, you could always
improve your your jumps for sure. And it didn't work
hard enough. I'm not a I'm not trying to be fattest.
Would that be the term? Mm hmm yep, fattest. It's
like racist but against fat people. You ever see on
social media, there'll be a funny clip where like some
(32:42):
let's say, some big fella tells his wife or someone
like I could still jump, and then he jumps and
he gets like two inches off the ground. Yeah, he's like,
I could do it, and he jumps like two inches.
To think, like just a regular guy, if we went
to the basketball court right now at the gym across
the street, if I told you Covino take off from
the free throw line and see if you see like
(33:02):
how close you would even get. And then think like
Michael Jordan and guys like that were taking off and
dunking from there and doing fakes, and you jump, your
feet are on the ground like that quick. So when
we're seeing guys like when min Yama now able to
put their foot up to the rim. What are some
other crazy sport flexes that come to mind? I got
a few. I got some fun ones and some legit ones.
(33:24):
Like what comes to mind immediately is Kurt Hennig how
he would throw a pass and catch the pass to
himself because he was mister Perfect, because he did everything perfect.
I'll give you one for real. I'm not saying mister
perfect wasn't real. I'm just wait a second. You know
how he bowled the three hundred was perfect a pool,
It was a great gimmick, mister perfect three point shot.
(33:44):
I'll give you one that I always was fascinated by
because as a kid, you didn't realize how how strength
was needed. When Bo Jackson would break a bat over
his knee, sports or just like break a bat, you'd
be like, you know, like you thought about that, and
you're like okay, and then you hold the back and
you're like, yeah, right, he broke it over his helmet,
over his helmet. We did it this year. You know,
(34:05):
I'm gonna miss him a lot. Polar Bear, Pete Pete
Alonzo did that this year. And when you see one
of these big, strong guys break a baseball bat, you're like,
it's like a strong guy ripping a phone book. You
know if you if you pretend if you tried to
do that, you'd probably roll around in pain. So we'll
get to your phone calls, your feedback, and we got
more you know, crazy sports flexes next. But we got
(34:27):
I low now with an updates a glowing krawn.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Do you mind if I real quick give you my
sports flex?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I would love it.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
This is not so much as a flex is just
a great story. But back in the sixties, during the
peak of Muhammad Ali, the top player in the NFL
and arguably the greatest running back of all time, was
Jim Brown. Jim Brown made it be known that he
very seriously wanted to box Muhammad Ali. He thought he
could legitimately beat Muhammad Ali because he was such a
(34:55):
great athlete. Remember, he was like an epic lacrosse player
in addition to being a running back. So the two
of them happened to be in London at the same time,
and Ali tells him to meet him in Hyde Park,
which is a famous park in London. So there they
are Alie and Jim Brown, just the two of them,
face to face, no handlers, know nothing, and before Jim
(35:15):
Brown says anything, Ali starts lightly slapping him, just slapping
him like this, and Allie's hands were so lightning fast
that Jim Brown realized right then and there, yeah, there's
no way I could ever He saw all the flex
up close with literally the greatest of all time back
(35:37):
to you. All right, we'll quickly run through what happened
in the NFL today. Another busy day. The Miami Dolphins
firing head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons, but NFL
media reporting the Detroit Lions already reached out to McDaniel
about their offensive coordinator job. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired
offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard as well as special teams coordinator
Thomas mcgahey. NFL media just reported, guys, the Tennessee Titans
(36:01):
will interview former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head
coach Mike McCarthy for.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Their head coach.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Who's interviewing McCovey, the Tennessee Titans, Oh, interesting, Yes, the
Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, they have interviewed Broncos defensive coordinator Vance
Joseph and Bronco's offensive assistant and former NFL quarterback Davis
Webb for their head coaching job, and have also requested
an interview with forty nine Ers defensive coordinator Robert Sala. Finally, guys,
(36:29):
you know, with the Buffalo Bills moving out of High
Mark Stadium after over fifty years. Buffalo Toronto Public Media
reports that a collectible company that's been contracted to sell
souvenirs from the stadium, including seats, pieces of the field,
things like that, is considering selling urin old troughs from
(36:50):
the stadium's men's rooms.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Wow. Good, I need a new Bethtube. Keep that in
mind for the special Bills fan in your life.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Back to you.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
That's a good one, Isaac Date, Great seeing you today,
Buddy Bloe, great story too, thank you. You know what,
there was another great story as far as sports flexes
that I will let you know next. It has to
do with a bunch of like superstar athletes racing each
other when we were kids. Can't wait. We'll get to
that and more next on Fox Sports Radio. It all
comes down to this one game, the best of the
best playing for the Lombardy. So if you're watching at home,
(37:21):
watch it like it matters on the TCL Ultimate series,
the QM eight K or the QM nine K. This
is the super Bowl, guys. Bright stadium lights, fast cuts,
big hits, bigger debates, was he in? Did it move?
Did he crossed the goal line? TCL brings the ultimate
brightness and Ultimate Black level, so the picture stays perfectly
clean from kickoff to the final drive. It's so clear
you could smell the fresh cut grass. You see the
(37:44):
ball spin on a deep shot, the toad drag on
the signline, no blur, no hold up, run it back
and go big. The Ultimate Series is available in a
massive ninety eight inch class, so every seat is a
great seat, not just for the people in the middle.
If you can't be in the stadium, TCL Ultimate Series
is the next best seat available at all major retailers.
TCL is the official TV partner of the NFL. Here
(38:06):
for Super Bowl sixty. Oh yeah, yeah, you know this
boy exhibit. Hey yeah, we're getting closer and closer to
game time. Yo, who do you got, Old Mess? You
got Miami? What you got, dude? I want to see
Carson Beck go off. You know our buddy Michael Yo,
(38:29):
comedian and host. He's going to the game, and I
know he's a listener to our show and a longtime friend.
Michael Yo is like, you better show Miami some love tonight.
But then again, our super agent Sean Wyman, his son
goes to Old Miss, so he's going to be at
the game with his son. So we got friends that
are pulling for old Miss. We got Miami friends, so
it should be a good one tonight. Like I said, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
(38:50):
If you're a football fan, you got to be excited
more than you've been in a long, long ass time.

the sports flexes like just you know, like when people
are just so athletic, like well, the first time you
(39:54):
see some of these, you're not sure if they're real,
Like Michael Jordan taking off from like beyond the free
throw line, like you know bo dk Metcalf chasing that
guy down. Remember, oh my god, Yeah, I was gonna
say Bo Jackson breaking a bat over his knee or
head or anything. In the eighties, like there are feats
of strength and ability where you're like what and you know,
(40:14):
sometimes you forget how strong and athletic people are. Danny
Isaac told the story about how Muhammad Ali was just
joking around with Jim Brown and Jim Brown was like,
I could fight you in within two seconds. Jim Brown.
The legendary stories like no, I'm not even gonna joke
with you. Like you ever see like Ryan Garcia like
midair hitting a water bottle and just keeping it up
(40:36):
because he's so fast. There's a story asset from the
eighties and no one ever realized. You know, people discount
the athleticism of hockey players because around skates there was
a race like a charity of something like star race.
Wayne Gretzky dusted Haele beyond Borg and Sugar Ray Leonard
(40:57):
in a foot race like this. But they this footage
of and Wing Gritzky like as if he's a championship runner,
just just them. That's insane. So that's a that's a
big time flex. We mean three come to mind for
me and we'll wrap it up with your calls. Each
row playing like target practice with the bats. When he
knocks those bats down from the outfield, that's It's like,
is that real? You ever see David Beckham, who we've
(41:19):
interviewed and he's sickening handsome, but when he hits the
he's kicking soccer balls on the beach and he's hitting
him into the garbage cans. And how about the first
time you saw Tiger Wood's dribbling like the golf ball
in his club and like the first time he saw that,
You're like, is that real? Josh? And iwa real quick,
what's up? Josh?
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Guys?
Speaker 8 (41:38):
My sports flex as a kid gave me the ultimate false.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
Sense of hope when I saw spud Web at five
foot four.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Isn't that wild to think? A guy that tiny got
those ups like his body is winning dunk contest, no
less offs and real Chris and Alabama. What's up, Hey, guys,
we're cut to real quick. We got a roll, So
what's your sports flax?
Speaker 8 (42:00):
Not so much a flex as a brag. We're about
the guy that got his yunk caught on the pole vault.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
By the way, that's the perfect that's the perfect way
to wrap up our show. A guy in the Olympics
who got his junk stuck on the pole vault, and
Sebastian Maniscalcol talks about it on his new special. He
does like I mean, like I told everyone, when it happens,
you rather that happen than actually win because oh he won?
What are people going to talk about that? Or you're
you're win in pole vaulting? No one cares. All right,
We'll see you guys, enjoy Miami. Oh miss at Kavino,

Oh? Yeah, well you know what. Let's walk out first
into our Thursday night. How about that? And then I'll
talk about you. But what have you ever wiped a

phone dies too? It's like, man, is this what am
I supposed to do? Is this as good as it gets? Man?
So we do it every Thursday. We go all school
(01:44):
and you know that throwback Thursday phrase? You know when
that started? By the way, think you guess? And how
to be into social media? Think about in the early days.
Two thousand and nine, oh six, Oh wow, this will
be the twenty year anniversary of us using the phrase
throwback Thursday. Tvt and we throw it back old school
(02:07):
and fifty hits on the clock. Lebron so much going on.
Lebron James has a trading mark. Yeah, that and Taco Tuesday.
And today we look back. I think we kind of
have to look back. I'm saying starting from ninety two,
I'll explain why. But the reason we're talking about reality
shows today is because on this day in two thousand
(02:30):
and four, they're saying one of the best reality shows
arguably debut and that is Apprentice with Donald Trump. Right,
that was before The Apprentice with people were divided on him.
They said, hey, you know, he's a hell of a
TV show host. So we liked this show, The Apprentice
debut to know four. But I'm gonna even add to
this fired fire. Oh poor Michael Daniels that you fired.
(02:54):
You're fired? Who does a better? Who does it better?
You're fired? Donald Trump fired? Or Vince mc mann. I
think Vince. I was gonna say, your old boss from
Z one hundred. Yeah, that's true, that is true. You
know I got you know, I got fired once because
I got caught on another radio station. I was cheating
(03:16):
on a radiole story anyway, But based on that, we
want to throw it back to some of your favorite
reality show memories and your favorite ones. Really, but it's
not just the Bachelor, I'm sure, jeez, I give it away.
It's not just The Apprentice today. The Bachelorette debuted on
this day, no way.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, and a different year.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Your favorite show I Love New York debute on his day,
and I wanted to let everyone know, what are the
chances of only show's debuting on this day? I probably
just had what that like Winter lineup hits? Right, Eh, yeah,
that's pretty wild. But Isaac Lowne Crown's favorite show, and
I believe I was Sam loved it as a kid
three and three quarter stars Star Search, Oh with Ed McMahon.
(03:53):
They are revamping it and it debuts on Netflix January twentieth,
and it's so weird. Jelly rolls a judge, Sarah, Michelle
Geller and Chrissy Tiagan and it's hosted by Anthony Anderson.
Weird if you mean the slim and Trim Anthony Anderson.
Have you seen him? You mean the slim and Trim
Jelly rule. Yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of weird says
that show sponsored by Hols Epic seriously. So, based on
(04:16):
all these anniversaries and the anniversary of the Apprentice on
this day, all those years ago, what were the OG
favorites the greatest? Because it really changed everything the way
we watched the TV. You know, for me, I said,
it goes back to ninety two because I associate the
real world with one of the first like real nonscripted shows.
(04:37):
In that way, you could say game shows or competition
shows are the original reality shows. But the real world
for me on MTV ninety two sort of changed the
game as far as what people wanted to watch. Kaminos
a big Johnny bananas guy. No, my sister is actually yeah,
but no, I think it really changed. It changed MTV
(04:59):
has it. That's when we stopped watching videos.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
And for our age group, we weren't out of the
house yet. We were maybe getting towards that point, but
it was interesting to see others who were a few
years older than us, you know, living out on their
own for the first time.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Now, when you talk about the best reality shows of
all time, you could include reality like dating and game
shows or following people around. I'm gonna give you my two.
I don't want to take the answers, but I have
to throw it out there. I have two distinct favorites,
ones in the dating world and ones like following people
around it. Okay, and I know Covino is gonna agree
with me. Based on Whirred Grew Up, I think the best,
(05:34):
hands down reality show. Yeah, we don't pump our gas,
We pump our fist Jersey Jersey. Sure, yeah, two thousand
and nine. Those clowns kept our interest on a whole
new level. And the reality pun intended is if you
grew up on the East Coast, you knew people like that,
but the rest of the country was like these people
(05:56):
for real, true story. We actually wrote a song. We
have a band, or had a band called the Dirty
Jersey Poets, a Ticklesack spin off, and we wrote a
song called we don't pump our Gas, we pump our
fists because we don't pump our gas in New Jersey,
we pump our fists, and they used it for the
Jersey Shore, they used it on the show. We got credited,
(06:17):
and every stupid parody song was actually on the soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Of The Jey Create I remember.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You can find it somewhere online if you look hard enough.
And we know what's interesting about that is being in
radio for as long as we've been, we've interviewed a
lot of really famous people, and at their height, I'm
not sure there was anyone bigger than Getting Snooky and
Paulie d And it was like they were the biggest
gets at that time. Sam. At that time, I was Sam,
(06:44):
I know you could roll your eyes to this, but
I promise you when when we were booking big guests,
He's right, Like what it was like snookies in today?
It was a big deal. People were like, wait, snookies here?
It was. It was a big deal. So I'm gonna
go my favorite following people around reality show. Okay, Jersey Shore.
That's great, and I'm gonna go more current from my
(07:04):
favorite dating show. I'm fascinated and still think as far
as dating shows, Love is Blind there's something about it.
These dopes go in a pod, they talk to people
without seeing them. You said it so matter of factly,
like your dad, Oh, love is blind blind because they
they clearly once they see each other it's not gonna
(07:25):
work out. But that like attempt to be like we
really clicked in the pods, you know, when they see
each other and it's like, yeah, you're not hot enough.
And it's because it's an experiment that we all got
to witness. I always wondered, that's ridiculous, and you know
it's again it's a dating show. You could say, oh,
how real is it? I'm going Jersey Shore and Love
(07:45):
is Blind are my answers. Well, I don't know if
I have favorites. I never really loved the world of
reality TV. But there's one I want to give credit to.
Right again, we're talking about it because The Princess debut
on this day in two thousand and four, along with
a few other shows. I mentioned Real World ninety two
people debate that was the start of this. But we
(08:06):
got to credit the late great Ozzy Osbourne for allowing
the cameras in sha his household and seeing a completely
different side of Ozzy. Like you know, on paper, you're like,
that's gonna be weird, and who cares about his kids?
And they made it so entertaining. I remember coming home
from work and I'd see my family cracking up, my
younger siblings cracking up, laughing. All of a sudden, Ozzy
(08:29):
Osbourne became like this, this wholesome dude that everybody loved
and got a kick out. The Prince of Darkness. Was
that like comedic relief yea and amazing yeah, And you
realized how charming he was. And I think a lot
of people saw what it did for his family and
his career, and they followed suit and that really opened
the doors for a lot of other families and unlikely
(08:51):
situations to happen in the world of reality TV. And
that debuted March fifth, two thousand and two, like hoaging
those best. Yeah, there was a lot of shows and
families that follow after that. So I want to give
credit to the Osbourne's other families, you know, I'll throw
it one more out there. And then the phones were
all lit and by the way, you got a credit MTV.
MTV played a big part in a lot of this stuff,
(09:11):
and so there was a ruined the videos, but it changed.
It became a movement. Cavino used to make fun of
me because I would always se the same name in
the credits. There was a woman, Sally Salsano.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Sally.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Every every reality show at that time was like produced
by her, so I was like, she must be making
banks was one more. I didn't really watch it, but
I was fascinated. I thought it was a cool concept
when they took the Cole Ritchie in Paris Hilton and
put them in like the country life and made them
do like milk and cows and all that crap. Someone
could produce the show about us doing that, for sure,
(09:41):
Simple life. I thought it was a cool concept. I
didn't watch it, but I feel like the girl I
was dating at the time loved and I feel like
a lot of girls in college were like, I'm rich
and I to a Lascar race and we could recreate
this show.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, I was on the phones. I don't think you
guys mentioned this one. I just got one because I
remember thinking to myself and I was I think we
were probably in our li eight twenties when this was
on Rock of Love.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Do you remember the like the Brett Michaels.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yes, my grandmother would call them hussies, but they were
like rock like party.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They were rock Hussies. It was the equivalent of like
like Flavor of Love rock a love like Yeah, it was.
It was all these like not you know, not to
be rude, but formerly huge rock stars Brett Michaels and
then Flavor Flavor on the hip hop side. Do you
want to date a former like rock star or hip
hop star? And the girls like went out for those
(10:32):
shows were even crazier than Like The Bachelor. In fact,
we met one of them in Vegas. This is a
girl's on Flavor of Love. If she was on Flavor
of Flow, Yeah, her name is Ice, which is not
a great name to have. Now, my flavor flav gave
her that name on the show, and she's now a rock.
She's a rock hoast for iHeart and and she she
(10:53):
metastand she's like, hey guys, I'm Ice and you know,
and she straight up the first thing she said was like, yeah,
I got that name was a I was a flavor
of love. She said it changed her life. Yeah, so
it prompts to her. Yeah, it's insane. So what were
your favorites? What do you think maybe never got enough
credit or your favorite moments as we look back at
at something that really changed the way we watched television
(11:13):
reality TV, which I got. I was saying, I have
a quick one.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
I'm not a huge reality TV fan, but I actually
sought out this show. It was on True TV. It
started in twenty ten. Not Pond Stars, but hardcore Pond.
It was following this guy less Gold than his family
and it was right off of eight Mile in Detroit.
And it was so funny because these people would come
in to sell something at this pawn shop owned by
less Gold, and it was like clearly staged, like a
little bit like they'd pay these people but they'd have
(11:38):
the funniest interactions these like people who are like on
drugs or they're just like down and out trying to
sell some fake watch and they'd have these big blow
ups with less Gold in his family, and it was
just like so entertaining.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Oh you know, it's another good reality show, if you
want to call it that. There was one where I
believe someone got stabbed on the show. Do you guys
remember watching Cheaters? Oh?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah, that I think, Yeah, that was Joey Greco.
But wasn't that We found out it was actually stage.
He might love that a lot, like a blood packet
or something. But he was on a boat and he
gets stabbed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
By a guy.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I do remember that, but you know, based on Sam Star,
I do remember hardcore pawn by the way, I was
a big fan in the early days of pawn Stars,
before Rick became a sort of a jerk in my opinion,
scamming people. Yay, I'll give you two dollars for it.
That started in two thousand and nine. I just remember
(12:28):
getting a real kick out of like chum Lee and like,
look at these guys man. Then they started slaying it
and they became superstar celebrities. But I was a big
fan early on there, and when it comes to those
type of shows, I'm also a big fan of American Pickers.
So shout out to Mike Wolfe. I like that show
on the History Channel. Let me hit you up with
what might be the original? I don't I don't necessarily
consider that a reality show. People, So well, I'm with
(12:50):
you with the Jersey shore Rich. That might be my
all time favorite when I think about it, Danny, we
all say real world, right, like when we're talking before
the shows, like, well, Michael, it's the real world for
that style, we have reality TV. Would you go back
even further and say, well, as far as reality goes,
was there reality? Remember Cops Cops was on when we
were kids. Hell, you and you could argue that was real?
(13:10):
I mean it was real. What you're gonna Donna do?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
And you Big Mica, who doesn't run anything, brought up
the great point of like America's funniest videos and shows
like that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He said, camera.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, all the way back because those shows did have
a slice of reality.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Boo baby, do you remember the theme song? It was
really If you could give me the first line of that,
I'll buy you lunch, I'll give you. Don't look it up, America,
look at you.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
But that was like the last line, America, America, this
is you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That was the story is from your friend next door.
They never tell camera. It's the red, white and blue,
the fun of things you do, America, this is you.
We gotta get a life. I know we do. Let's
(14:08):
go to Fred in Virginia. Beat that fred what's up, buddy, Freddy?
Fred Ward?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (14:20):
I was calling about the news drops that he dropped
with about the Detroit Lions bringing in Mike McDonald mcdame. Daniel,
all right, now you guys are on reality shows. Hard
Knocks has got to do one if he goes Troy.
My god, Hard Knocks is already great. I was gonna
mention that, but like, think about the two of those
(14:42):
guys together.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
By the way, Daniel, I love that call, and I
love the tie in. I love how you brought that up.
But you know what I give credit to and I
could be way off on this. Before Hard Knocks, you
know what really changed the game. I think when it
came to inside look at sports twenty four seven, bah Yo,
twelve four seven would get you so high for those
Mayweather fights and Pocky own Man. Those were voiced by
(15:07):
Lev Shreiber, right, and he did a stellar job. He
would they would get you so high for these fights
that you probably normally wouldn't care about joy.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
There would be no Hard Knocks without twenty four.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We're all on the same page. Twenty four seven. It
was great, And you know, it's so funny. I was
gonna bring up hard Knocks because I was going to say,
recently in the world of sports, I think receiver and
quarterback on Netflix have been great, but they're just really
you know, a different spin on really hard knocks, right,
but you're just following around some players. But with He's right,
Dan Campbell, Mike McDaniel, and we saw what a character
I'm Aoran Saint Brown is on receiver. Like if they
(15:40):
did hard Knocks, I know there's a criteria, and I
think that you missed the playoffs, right, So the Lions
did miss the playoffs. The Lions would be a very
interesting follow That was a great great, Yeah, that's awesome. Yoh, Fred,
thanks brother. Let's add a trip in Vegas who we
saw a couple of days ago. It's up Trap Trip.
It was great. Hanging man. What's up?
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Hey, good afternoon. Great to hear. I just want people
and know live. Your hair looks even better than on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It's a shame that I'm covering it with a Yankee
hat for there. Yeah, thank you the best air and radio.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
No shame in a Yankee hat. So I'll give you
four quick ones and I'll let y'all comments, not in
any order. I was going to say American Idol Storage
Wars deadliest catch in Fear Factor.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yoh, Joe Rogan, who is like, you know, top of
the Game of podcasts are crazy crazy Joe Rogan Yo.
Fear Factor was his first gig when he had hair.
I showed my kids a clip of that. I'm like, hey,
but it's back with Johnny Knox. I know, yeah, it's
coming back. The preview was on. I showed my kids
and I go, my daughter's name is Emmy. I'm like, Emmy,
if I told you, I'd give you like hundreds of
(16:39):
dollars to buy a bunch of toys or whatever you wanted,
but you had to like going a little tankful of
like snake. She's like, I don't know, yes, no, yeah,
Like it's funny to show was so groundbreaking. Where it
lost its way in my opinion is it went from
fear factor to like gross factor, like how gross are
you willing to get? It wasn't It wasn't like the
(17:00):
eat this disgusting pistacle, you know, like it's like, oh
my god, you know, for the sake of conversation, Really
that boy, it did go from like tank of snakes
to eat testicles. You really did very quickly. Yep, me yum.
I asked my boy, chat GPT. You know what was
the first reality show? Chad GPT says An American Family
(17:21):
nineteen seventy three PBS, often called the first modern reality
TV show, found real life daily experiences of the Loud
family for several months, but it was defined as the
first reality TV show. Earlier predeces precursors Candid Camera nineteen
forty eight, seven Up nineteen sixty four, UK show Queen
(17:41):
for the Day nineteen fifties. But they do go back
and they say, bottom line, American Family nineteen seventy three
is like the official one. But Real World and Survivor
were the game changers, is what it says.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Speaking of Survivor season fifty, Oh, it's about to debut
season five.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh bitty, like maybe like two or three a year.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I would say if there was a Hall of Famer amount, Rushmore,
Propes would be on there, his whole career, his whole longevity.
How he still keeps the who was the first guy?
Richard Hatch or something. I was just going to ask
you a trivia question. He remember he didn't pay his
taxes and he went to jails.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh, you made me think of some other one. Remember those, uh,
those like average Joe shows or whatever where millionaire Joe millionaire?
You remember that one.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I thought you were going to talk about the Petros.
Those are more of the game.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That was a great Petros uh that I remember that
being a great show because it was the first time
where it's like, yeah, some dumb JABBRONI could actually test
his skills against like a retired player. I love that show.
That was a good one.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know. I'm sorry, Coven.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I was just going to say one thing that is
interesting about reality TV. It's one of the genres where
you could go from making fun of a show or
making fun of your wife or your girlfriend or boyfriend
for watching one of them, and then suddenly you get
pulled in so true, like ninety Day Fiance Brenda loves
that show and I just looked it up.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That debut in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Dude, people that love that show, Oh love it show.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I made fun of her at first. I'm like these
losers traveling to these other countries. And then I'd be
looking while I was in the kitchen, what what what
you watch?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You watch? You're watching that fact guy with no neck exactly.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
In San Diego, quick story man, the first half of
our show together, Rich and I. He'd come in talking
about the Bachelor all the time, Bachelor, and I beg,
you are the biggest weenie? Was like talking about the Bachelor.
Started dating a girl who was obsessed with the Bachelor,
and sure enough pulled me in and I sort of
take it back. I get the intrigue.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Now, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I hate myself for it, but it's true.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I don't know if this is technically a reality show,
but very fascinating a show called Junkyard Wars where they'd
build like machines out of junk in like just like
build like a hovercraft or like a go cart, and
they'd have to like compete. Yeah, and it was just
they had to do in ten hours or like twelve hours.
They build these can Draft's had a crap that see
it sounds like a fun concept.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Fun You know, Trip brought up one that I think
we got to readdress because it changed everything. Yeah, there
was star search shows like that, but like American Idol
really did revolutionize, like it. I props the seacraft and
everyone's still doing it. It's fun to watch here in
the uncleman man gets no credit. I'll watch a highlight
here there. You know, Lionel Ritchie and you know other
(20:24):
people are on the panel now. But that original American
Idol team, you know, now it's run its course, probably right,
But remember back then nobody would actually become a star.
The bummer with that show now is you win it that?
You win it now and no one knows you two
months later. But back then, remember Kelly Clarkson was like
some country bumpkin that was on a plane, never on
(20:44):
a plane, and Carrie Underwood was like some small town girl,
and Klay Aiken was a dufist. They give up like
lightning in a bottle. You couldn't have predicted that that
cast of Simon cow and Paula Abdul hadn't done anything
in years, you know, not a well known see Cress
and the Reality. Though no one would have thought it
would taken off like it did.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It was right before you could get famous from YouTube.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, and Kelly Clarkson think about it, got a daytime
TV show, probably has about fifty songs. If people know
she has a Vegas residency. She was like a game changer.
Rich because so many shows like that or a spin
on that followed, right X Factor and all those shows. Yep,
I put this in the category. I think MTV really
put out a lot of fun stuff at the time.
(21:28):
And you know, of course in the eighties we had
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leech, but.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Chris Robert Wishes and damn it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But Cribs was a lot of fun too, Man, you
don't we got to take a little peek, because tell me,
you didn't want like those man caves and their setups.
Watching that, it really made you dream big when you
saw how some of these athletes and superstars were living.
You know, you know the progression. It was Lifestyles of
the Rich and Famous, then MTV Cribs and then every
idiot just fake breaks back their life on Yeah Yeah,
(22:02):
we made it.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Do you guys remember kind of that stage kind of
like Cribs, but a very short lived show called Room
Raiders where a woman would go into a guy's house
and look through his close and be like, can I
date this dude? Break out like a black find like
stains and suff one like a date my mom that
was insinuated, Sam.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
The stains were insinuated, the stains and stuff. They couldn't see, stains, stags,
lots of stains, you know, stays U let's wrap this
with John and Montana, John Covino and Retchrands a buddy.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Hey, guys, I was just hearing that said the uh
season fifty coming up for Survivor, which is awesome. One
new one I'm bullying about right now is uh the
Traders on Teacak season four coming up tonight.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
That's probably one of the best shows up there.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Isn't Traders like it's all like the villains from former shows.
It's like girlfriends of It's like the douchiest of douches
and they're all against each other, which is like probably
a cool concept. I'd imagine, you know, Traders is all
the lists celebrities, what is it like Jack's from vander Pump.
He's probably on an event, probably Johnny Bananas in the
mid Way. It's it's a big one man vander Pump.
(23:10):
Now that you bring it up, you know that. Also,
all these shows debut around this time. I saw that
the other day, So hey, enjoy your reality TV in
honor of so many of them started on this day,
from The Bachelorette to The Apprentice to you name it,
Flavor Love, all all this day. So all right, listen,
let's get back to the NFL. I can't believe we
have all these coaching vacancies. You know, Danny, we talked
(23:32):
about how two more coaches could be fired if things
don't go well, like maybe not, but Lafleur and McDermott
they're saying this possibility a little bit of a stretch,
a little bit. But you realize, as of right now,
a fourth of the league will have a new head
coach next season. Eight out of thirty two coaches will
be brand new. Yeah, that's crazy. Which is I wonder
(23:55):
is that some type of record? You know, I'm gonna
look that up and we will talk some NBA because
you know, if you if you don't know what we're
talking about. There's a clip of Wemben Yama. I don't
know how you've missed it, but he there's balls stuck
in the rim, right stuck in the net. There's like
three or four balls stuck in the net. So Wemby
(24:17):
decides that he's gonna like karate kick him out. And
his toes are practically hitting the rim. And you have
to ask yourself stuffing balls and rim, have you ever
gotten your ball stuck?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
And no?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Have you ever seen anyone kick the rim? He crati, Yeah,
he's kicking the rim. He gets his legs up that high.
That's insane. He could be a rocket. So you know,
we're going to talk about like the craziest sports flexes,
the craziest sports flexes, because that might be like a
top three for sure. A little Wemby, some more NFL

so I want to talk some of the craziest sports flexes.
I know you have some things on your mind. Rich Yeah,
I mean this this Wenby thing. You know you saw
it before me because I was like, wait, what are
you guys looking at here? And I'm like, is wait
(30:22):
is his foot what? Well, like put it in perspective
growing up, this is when you realize, well, I guess
I'm never gonna make it in the NBA. Like if
you could touch the rim, that was an accomplishment first,
Like you hit the bottom of the net, You're like,
all right, I'm getting some ups here. Can you not
tell us he touches rim just standing up, not toilet. No,
(30:46):
you're just thinking playground, right, Honestly, you're nazier high school.
You're absolutely right if you're just horsing around with your
buddies at gym class or at the playground. Started with
the botry. I got the bottom. I'm not gonna be shit.
None of my friends could slam dunk. But it was
a breaking right to be like Yo, you could touch
touching rim was like all right, touching rim was you
had some up touching touching rim. At you were like
(31:08):
roughly six foot and and like you had some some
skills like I could touch rim. Started mass producing those
adjustable rims everyone had. When he lowered down to eight feet,
he starts slamming, jamming, rip rorn and ramming. All right,
that was a game changer. But for most regular people
you barely touch rim. And now you got freaks in
(31:28):
the NBA, like women and Yama. This dude could lift
his leg karate kicks. He could karate kick the rim.
Do you understand what we were saying here? That's that's im.
That's why I put it in perspective. We couldn't even
jump with our hands held high and hit the rim barely.
This guy lifts his leg up krank a little crane
kick like Daniel l Russo he touches it with his
(31:50):
big toe. Look at it this way. We've seen things
where it's like yo, You've seen a guy hit his
head on the backboard where you're like, yo, he's so
tall that he went up for a rebound and misjudge
it and he you know ups. You know sometimes I
used to pray for ups. You've never got any, Danny.
You've seen guy like players like hit their head Oh yeah,
on like the lower part of the backboard because it's
just you know, they're so big, but.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
They Lebron was trending the other night because on one
of his dunks his head was at the rim, just
above the rim, and people like this freak is forty
one in his head's above the rim.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Still by the way, blast man. But you know what,
that's something you can improve on if you work. You
worked hard enough at it, you know, you could always
improve your your jumps for sure. And it didn't work
hard enough. I'm not a I'm not trying to be fattest.
Would that be the term? Mm hmm yep, fattest. It's
like racist but against fat people. You ever see on
social media, there'll be a funny clip where like some
(32:42):
let's say, some big fella tells his wife or someone
like I could still jump, and then he jumps and
he gets like two inches off the ground. Yeah, he's like,
I could do it, and he jumps like two inches.
To think, like just a regular guy, if we went
to the basketball court right now at the gym across
the street, if I told you Covino take off from
the free throw line and see if you see like
(33:02):
how close you would even get. And then think like
Michael Jordan and guys like that were taking off and
dunking from there and doing fakes, and you jump, your
feet are on the ground like that quick. So when
we're seeing guys like when min Yama now able to
put their foot up to the rim. What are some
other crazy sport flexes that come to mind? I got
a few. I got some fun ones and some legit ones.
(33:24):
Like what comes to mind immediately is Kurt Hennig how
he would throw a pass and catch the pass to
himself because he was mister Perfect, because he did everything perfect.
I'll give you one for real. I'm not saying mister
perfect wasn't real. I'm just wait a second. You know
how he bowled the three hundred was perfect a pool,
It was a great gimmick, mister perfect three point shot.
(33:44):
I'll give you one that I always was fascinated by
because as a kid, you didn't realize how how strength
was needed. When Bo Jackson would break a bat over
his knee, sports or just like break a bat, you'd
be like, you know, like you thought about that, and
you're like okay, and then you hold the back and
you're like, yeah, right, he broke it over his helmet,
over his helmet. We did it this year. You know,
(34:05):
I'm gonna miss him a lot. Polar Bear, Pete Pete
Alonzo did that this year. And when you see one
of these big, strong guys break a baseball bat, you're like,
it's like a strong guy ripping a phone book. You
know if you if you pretend if you tried to
do that, you'd probably roll around in pain. So we'll
get to your phone calls, your feedback, and we got
more you know, crazy sports flexes next. But we got
(34:27):
I low now with an updates a glowing krawn.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Do you mind if I real quick give you my
sports flex?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I would love it.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
This is not so much as a flex is just
a great story. But back in the sixties, during the
peak of Muhammad Ali, the top player in the NFL
and arguably the greatest running back of all time, was
Jim Brown. Jim Brown made it be known that he
very seriously wanted to box Muhammad Ali. He thought he
could legitimately beat Muhammad Ali because he was such a
(34:55):
great athlete. Remember, he was like an epic lacrosse player
in addition to being a running back. So the two
of them happened to be in London at the same time,
and Ali tells him to meet him in Hyde Park,
which is a famous park in London. So there they
are Alie and Jim Brown, just the two of them,
face to face, no handlers, know nothing, and before Jim
(35:15):
Brown says anything, Ali starts lightly slapping him, just slapping
him like this, and Allie's hands were so lightning fast
that Jim Brown realized right then and there, yeah, there's
no way I could ever He saw all the flex
up close with literally the greatest of all time back
(35:37):
to you. All right, we'll quickly run through what happened
in the NFL today. Another busy day. The Miami Dolphins
firing head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons, but NFL
media reporting the Detroit Lions already reached out to McDaniel
about their offensive coordinator job. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired
offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard as well as special teams coordinator
Thomas mcgahey. NFL media just reported, guys, the Tennessee Titans
(36:01):
will interview former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head
coach Mike McCarthy for.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Their head coach.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Who's interviewing McCovey, the Tennessee Titans, Oh, interesting, Yes, the
Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, they have interviewed Broncos defensive coordinator Vance
Joseph and Bronco's offensive assistant and former NFL quarterback Davis
Webb for their head coaching job, and have also requested
an interview with forty nine Ers defensive coordinator Robert Sala. Finally, guys,
(36:29):
you know, with the Buffalo Bills moving out of High
Mark Stadium after over fifty years. Buffalo Toronto Public Media
reports that a collectible company that's been contracted to sell
souvenirs from the stadium, including seats, pieces of the field,
things like that, is considering selling urin old troughs from
(36:50):
the stadium's men's rooms.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Wow. Good, I need a new Bethtube. Keep that in
mind for the special Bills fan in your life.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Back to you.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
That's a good one, Isaac Date, Great seeing you today,
Buddy Bloe, great story too, thank you. You know what,
there was another great story as far as sports flexes
that I will let you know next. It has to
do with a bunch of like superstar athletes racing each
other when we were kids. Can't wait. We'll get to
that and more next on Fox Sports Radio. It all
comes down to this one game, the best of the
best playing for the Lombardy. So if you're watching at home,
(37:21):
watch it like it matters on the TCL Ultimate series,
the QM eight K or the QM nine K. This
is the super Bowl, guys. Bright stadium lights, fast cuts,
big hits, bigger debates, was he in? Did it move?
Did he crossed the goal line? TCL brings the ultimate
brightness and Ultimate Black level, so the picture stays perfectly
clean from kickoff to the final drive. It's so clear
you could smell the fresh cut grass. You see the
(37:44):
ball spin on a deep shot, the toad drag on
the signline, no blur, no hold up, run it back
and go big. The Ultimate Series is available in a
massive ninety eight inch class, so every seat is a
great seat, not just for the people in the middle.
If you can't be in the stadium, TCL Ultimate Series
is the next best seat available at all major retailers.
TCL is the official TV partner of the NFL. Here
(38:06):
for Super Bowl sixty. Oh yeah, yeah, you know this
boy exhibit. Hey yeah, we're getting closer and closer to
game time. Yo, who do you got, Old Mess? You
got Miami? What you got, dude? I want to see
Carson Beck go off. You know our buddy Michael Yo,
(38:29):
comedian and host. He's going to the game, and I
know he's a listener to our show and a longtime friend.
Michael Yo is like, you better show Miami some love tonight.
But then again, our super agent Sean Wyman, his son
goes to Old Miss, so he's going to be at
the game with his son. So we got friends that
are pulling for old Miss. We got Miami friends, so
it should be a good one tonight. Like I said, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
(38:50):
If you're a football fan, you got to be excited
more than you've been in a long, long ass time.

the sports flexes like just you know, like when people
are just so athletic, like well, the first time you
(39:54):
see some of these, you're not sure if they're real,
Like Michael Jordan taking off from like beyond the free
throw line, like you know bo dk Metcalf chasing that
guy down. Remember, oh my god, Yeah, I was gonna
say Bo Jackson breaking a bat over his knee or
head or anything. In the eighties, like there are feats
of strength and ability where you're like what and you know,
(40:14):
sometimes you forget how strong and athletic people are. Danny
Isaac told the story about how Muhammad Ali was just
joking around with Jim Brown and Jim Brown was like,
I could fight you in within two seconds. Jim Brown.
The legendary stories like no, I'm not even gonna joke
with you. Like you ever see like Ryan Garcia like
midair hitting a water bottle and just keeping it up
(40:36):
because he's so fast. There's a story asset from the
eighties and no one ever realized. You know, people discount
the athleticism of hockey players because around skates there was
a race like a charity of something like star race.
Wayne Gretzky dusted Haele beyond Borg and Sugar Ray Leonard
(40:57):
in a foot race like this. But they this footage
of and Wing Gritzky like as if he's a championship runner,
just just them. That's insane. So that's a that's a
big time flex. We mean three come to mind for
me and we'll wrap it up with your calls. Each
row playing like target practice with the bats. When he
knocks those bats down from the outfield, that's It's like,
is that real? You ever see David Beckham, who we've
(41:19):
interviewed and he's sickening handsome, but when he hits the
he's kicking soccer balls on the beach and he's hitting
him into the garbage cans. And how about the first
time you saw Tiger Wood's dribbling like the golf ball
in his club and like the first time he saw that,
You're like, is that real? Josh? And iwa real quick,
what's up? Josh?
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Guys?
Speaker 8 (41:38):
My sports flex as a kid gave me the ultimate false.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
Sense of hope when I saw spud Web at five
foot four.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Isn't that wild to think? A guy that tiny got
those ups like his body is winning dunk contest, no
less offs and real Chris and Alabama. What's up, Hey, guys,
we're cut to real quick. We got a roll, So
what's your sports flax?
Speaker 8 (42:00):
Not so much a flex as a brag. We're about
the guy that got his yunk caught on the pole vault.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
By the way, that's the perfect that's the perfect way
to wrap up our show. A guy in the Olympics
who got his junk stuck on the pole vault, and
Sebastian Maniscalcol talks about it on his new special. He
does like I mean, like I told everyone, when it happens,
you rather that happen than actually win because oh he won?
What are people going to talk about that? Or you're
you're win in pole vaulting? No one cares. All right,
We'll see you guys, enjoy Miami. Oh miss at Kavino,
(42:29):
che let us know who you got a right a
riven there at you baby, see you in the over
