of Fernando Danny g it's his last game, probably not
as a Raider, right, So are you gonna be locked
in like watching or watching every little, every little strategy
of his game?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I almost Sam and I texted about both he and
his coach just a couple of games into this college season.
That's how long Raider fans have been licking their chops
about Fernando Mendoza.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
So I think Fernana Mendoza, Kurt Signetti, the center, Pat Coogan,
and then maybe like Charlie Becker or Elijah Surratt, they
should all go to the Raiders. Just keep that go
just the Indiana Hoosier to the Raiders train. I mean,
how much of a likable coach and quarterback combo is that?

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Like? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It really is, Like if you could pick that up
and place it somewhere else, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't think kurtz Signett's going anywhere. That's what I
was gonna say. He loves it in Indiana.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Change the culture. I love the pictures of what Indiana
football looked like a couple of years ago. They show
like empty stands and no one caring. And now it's
one of the hottest football scenes in all of college sports. Well,

we got Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom. Wait, he's not

(03:30):
the attention. Huh yeah, Big Mike in the broadcast.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
In the broadcasting biz, we call it put it in
the can. He left one in the can. Yeah, he
loves doing that. Oh, that's when he met when he's okay.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, though a.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Few of those over the years.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Around here.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's our way of giving back to you Fox Sports
Radio Nation your chance to win a CNR n FSR
Nerve Football with the Turbo Grip. And if you could
repeat Mike's words verbatim, that means word for word, that
means you win a prize. So write the number down

ninety nine on Fox and be dialing if you can

(04:09):

guy that runs this place.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. I
just want to point out something picture Mike pre recording,
pre record, like meaning I need to need to do this.
He's just trying to give back rich I know. I'm
sorry I don't and spread his wisdom.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Starting your day with an early morning run is the
best way to make sure that the rest of your
day can't get any worse than it started.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Can't disagree. I would go past this Jim Danny. When
I lived in Hobok in New Jersey, I would pass
this gym when I was on my way to do
morning radio. It's like five am, and I'd see people
on the treadmill through the window, and I'm like, they
are psychopaths motivated this. It's a treadmill, though, if you're
jogging on concrete it's snowy. Those are people on a mission.

(05:20):
They're trying to prove someone wrong. They're trying to show
an X what they're really made.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
You do, get your workout in the morning, you feel amazing.
The whole day were exhausted by seven pm, but you
feel amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
It is a good feeling of like got that out
of the way, and hey, if you could repeat that
word for word right now, you win a prize. You
want to give it again one more time. One.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Starting your day with an early morning run is the
best way to make sure that the rest of your
day can't get any worse than it started.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Thank you, Mike, Thank you Mike. So we're taking your
phone calls for the CNR and FSR Nerve Football, and
you can always qualify for ner Football if you say
something nice in our reviews on our podcast, Apple Podcast.
If Danny g hits you up, you could win a football.
But while we get the phone calls going eight seven
seven ninety nine one Fox, let's talk about Sean Payton

(06:14):
because I don't know. I feel like the press either
they are easier targets than ever or people are just
fed up with stupid questions. I don't know. I don't
know what's going on, but I don't know if this
is much of a stupid question as much as Sean
Payton not having patients with someone I'm not I'm not
insinuating he was a stupid question so I don't want

(06:35):
to tell it that way. It's like from his perspective,
like you want to. He doesn't want to be bothered
with your stupidity.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
He got into it with a reporter, like he'll get
a little testy with reporters. That happened earlier this season
and kind of it's win semi viral.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, I mean I was. I was hard on the
traditional reporter the other day when you and I were arguing, Sam.
But they do have a job to do and they
are trying to get the real story. Rob Parker and
I we're chatting about the minute you start paying people
like McAfee does with Aaron Rodgers, then you're not getting
the true story because it's more than a fun celebrity
guest opposed to reporting. I get what they're trying to do,

(07:07):
But tem Payton, I don't know. Is this a good
look or not? Take a listening green Law back of
this games ability to attack Don Hill and in the
run games, how is that the timing of it?

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Do you want him to attack Downhill? Is that you're like,
what do you know about attacking Downhill in the run game?
You don't know? All right, that's right. I have him
attacking downhill. It's good to have a healthy Trey green
Law back in the game.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, it's just very uh Kurt, very combative, very condescending.
For sure, that reporter couldn't have gone home feeling cool
about himself. No, what do you know about tacking down hill?
Do you said? Not much? That's why I'm asking you
about it, sir. You are the you know, you are

(07:49):
the you are the coach of the Broncos. Sometimes as
an interviewer, you're asking questions so that people could explain
right their side of things. Maybe maybe you're giving them
the opportunity. Maybe this is a storyline and he wants
to give Sean Payton the opportunity to clear it up.
You know, that's sometimes my method of questioning, like, Hey,

(08:09):
I just I want to give you this opportunity to
make it clear what is the strategy or what's going on?
And man, he didn't seem to have patience for it.
What do you know about it?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Now?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I'm asking you. Don't want to be combative and put
your you know, your career or access in jeopardy. But
you know, if I'm that reporter, I almost want to
be like, yeah, you're the coach of the Broncos. I'm
asking you a question, dope.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
What do you know about attacking downhill?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
And well, do you know about tacking downhill? I don't.
I'm a reporter for the Denver Bumblebee. You know I've
played seventh grade football. Please explain attacking down hill? Better
reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
You know, well, not as much as you because you're
the coach. Yeah, you make twenty million dollars to coach
the Broncos. Yeah, I'm asking you a question on the same.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
On this flip side of that, though, I get why
coaches get like frustrated with like these maybe these terms
that are used in questions like these reporters think that
they're like, really.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Are we living in such a gotcha culture that every
coach thinks that what are you trying to get me
on something like what do you do? You know what
I mean? Like you're trying to set me up like
c you don't know anything about attacking down here. If
you asked Jordan Love after that loss, hey, do you
think Matt Lafleur should keep his job? That's it. That's
a trap. A whole question if you ask some very

(09:23):
necessary question. But but but I could see after the game,
I could see where someone will be like, well you
asking me? Or when should or Sanders? They would ask
him like what do you think of the play calling?
But do you know you're trying to get me? This
was a hey, you got a big you got a
big defensive piece. I'm a big Green laugh and Niners guy.

(09:44):
Right before before he went there was a Niner asking
about defensive strategy and Trump Payton jumping like that. I
just think, I get it's a long season. But Isaac,
you've been in these reporting room more than more than
any of us.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Lord, I have so many stories. A lot of times
you can ask a perfectly good, legitimate question and basically
have your face chewed off by the person you ask
it to if they're in a bad mood at a
bad moment. I will give you an interesting footnote that
reporter tweeted about this in a reply quote, this was

(10:19):
a funny moment. We joked about it after It's all good.
But having heard what you just heard there, does it
come across that way?

Speaker 1 (10:27):
No, not at all. But maybe they did joke about it. However, Yeah,
I wouldn't want to be talked that way, especially publicly,
like that, like, all right, geez.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Like, what do you know about attacking downhill in the
run game? You don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's a great response, though, imagine if you use that
in your real life though. Man Rich asked me a
question on anything. Could you know? How do you feel
about us doing our bonus podcast? Do you know about
bonus podcasts?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Shut up?

Speaker 7 (10:54):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Next question Coach's carus Sam from the Davenport Yes, Interbutney
contribute kids.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
What do you know about Taylor Ham? What do you
know about tailorm? Shut up? I mean, what do you
know about sandwiches? Next question? This guy calls the tailor
funk roll Taylor hand. What do you call? Shut out
of my fax? That is like, really, it's rude, dude.
This is straight up rudely and I'm glad that it
wasn't more than that. According to By the way, I
don't know how much I believe that reporter. He's just

(11:21):
trying to Maybe he's just trying to say the thing
of it and save face and not rub this guy
the wrong way, trying to stay in good Yes, he's
trying to stay in in the scene.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
There Actually, apparently this was his follow up question.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
You hold your head up all right?

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Man?

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, So your thoughts on that, and we'll take more
phone calls. And we're still looking for a winner for
Mike's Wednesday Words Wisdom? Who do we got, Danny J.
Let's start with John and Montana? All right, John, John Montana,
what's up, Bud? I think I was Sam pulled a
muscle over here? What's up? What's up? Bud?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
No?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't know, but I had a cramp in my
rib cage is very hurt a lot. I was like
having an attackle here, we need to bring in I
don't know I need. I'm sorry, I'm up trying to distract.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
All Right, We're good now. Who's to Who's Sam's backup?

Let it marinate, John, let it breathe for a second.
Go ahead, John, it's all you. Starting your day with

(13:00):
an early morning run is the best way to make
sure that the rest of your days can't get any
worse than started and done.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Here we go, and you're wiser for it. Yeah, congrats.
We will be getting your address when the shipping comes in.
You get a Turbo football there in Montana.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Thanks buddy, easy, I would have got it. I wonder
if these guys play like Patton Oswalt and Big Fan
and just start writing it all down fair. That's cheating.
Whatever your method is, that's fine. Appreciate it. Thanks for playing.
We do this every Wednesday and coming up. Remember we
still got midweek major the biggest stories in sports and
pop culture. But any final thoughts on Sean Payton, Like

(13:47):
we said about what was her name, Lisa Turtle, No,
we said it about the other reporter earlier this week,
Lynn Jones, Lynn Jones, you know who. Whether or not
etiquette was vi in that moment, like kindness never goes
out of style, like people being rude just for being rude, Like,
what do you know about downhill? Well, what do you

(14:07):
know about punching down? Because I think you're just bullying
a goofy reporter right now, That's what it sounds like
to me. So I don't think kindness ever goes out
of style. He didn't have to be a jerk. Click
dom well sound Look, whether he was being mean or not,
it sounds jerky, doesn't it. Listen, we bust each other's
chops all day here, but in day to day life,

(14:29):
I very much judge people on how they treat staff
at restaurants, how they treat workers at stores. That's the
ultimate that's the ultimate test of how you are as
a human. That in returning your grocery card. You know,
there's a little test in life, like are you a
good person taking up two spaces with you know, parking
your car like you just don't care? Do you look
at the waitress in the eyes when you order? Do

(14:49):
you say thank you?

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Like?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
These are things you teach your kids, right, may I
versus I want? And I know that sometimes a coach
or player doesn't necessarily want to talk to the press
or a reporter. Yeah, but I know, I notice when
someone is there to do the they're they're in the moment,
like I'll give you a great example. You know who
I noticed that thank you, appreciate it and was sweet.

(15:10):
Tamiko Ryan, Demiko Ryan's when he there's certain I mean
coming off a win, but it was at halftime. There's
there's coaches and players that you know go the extra
mile to say thank you, gracious, courteous, respectful, There's there's
you know, those are all good things. See listen, there's
no need for him to be this way unless they
have a previous relationship where you know, this reporter is

(15:32):
a past or something. I don't know, you know how
we love but in that moment, that's what we joke about.
How back in the day we gave Manny the pass
the front Manny being Manny, Manny ramires. One person gets
the rude to press pass because it's funny. And that's
one and one person only. Everyone else to me, step
up your game. And this is a guy that it
almost became a right of passage as a reporter to

(15:55):
have this guy be mean to you. Do you know
what I'm thinking of NBA? Uh? Is it? It's a
Craig Sagar and Greg Povich, it's Popovich. Yeah, it's definitely
probably when you're Papa. We were talking about boy George
Sadano and you know he's a good Palavars and it's
like being dissed by Eminem. Yeah, it would like you

(16:15):
weren't a reporter in the Envy until Popovich like gave
you a short answer and told you to beat it.
But other than Popovich, because we all know what a
great human Popovich is, so I think other than Greg Popovic,
everyone else.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I think if Bobby Knight was rude to you too
when you report that was a badgeob if you threw
a chair at you, if he hits you over the
head with a chair, he was just like buddy.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
But Craig Sager, though, like dearly departed Craig Sager we
all loved, had this amazing suits him and Papovich would
go back like it was.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Just it was like a bit and by the way,
deel no and does everybody have a bad day? Absolutely
mostly great bit with the it is what it is.
So we got to point it out. Wasn't there a
great bit with the late Craig Sager where was a
Kevin Garnett. People went in on his suit. Yes, yeah,
he calls out him never to wear it again. It's

(17:06):
really fun moment. So hey, just be kind, as you said, Camo,
there's no uh, there's nothing to it. Be kind. That's
great right there, I was saying, coming up, We're gonna
give him extra time because he really wants you know,
he's really feeling the love today our video, guys, Spot
is going to do Midweek Major, but we're going to
give you eight minutes. Yeah, extra time stot for all

(17:29):

But that being said that that season he did he
actually he made NFL history, being the first to throw
thirty touchdowns and thirty.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Interceptions in one season. So he didn't Mickbusters cover the
whole week in the Knees Burgess Meredith theory. I think
they did good. Weaker major man, Yeah, Rich, I'm sorry weaken.
I mean I think it's weak. We no abstaining from
I don't know to marry guys like I do that automatically.
But you know what, a guy in his youthful prime,

(24:06):
like young Studeley Jameis Winston, was like, no, can do
ladies like come on, give me a break? And he
was and he was married at the time. You're saying
engaged engaged. Oh man, Isaac, I'm gonna.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Go to you what.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
I have a tidbit about this that's related to sports entertainment.
So remember the movie Ali starring Will Smith. According to
the guy who trained Will Smith for that picture, Will
Smith vowed to abstain himself for the whole period he
was training for and filming the movie Ali for similar

(24:40):
reasons as it related to playing a boxer and playing Ali?

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Is why Jada decided to just get with everyone else?
Is that why she had entanglementsments with nobody? I passed
to you. I think it's some mid story. Is that about?
There's any truth to it? So I think it's just
sort of a waste the time. However, I also respect
the I guess commitment and dedication to greatness. Like you're

(25:07):
eliminating distractions. So I do understand that, but I mean,
at what cost? Don't you want to be closer to fiance?

Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:14):
And truthfully, like if you don't have there's no proof.
If you don't have kids, those are real distractions. Imagine
being with your significant other without kids around. What would
you even do? Who knows? I know all right? Home owners.

Speaker 8 (25:28):
Homeowners in New Jersey already starting to capitalize on the
upcoming World Cup festivities this year, starting off in June,
as soccer fans from all over the world head to Mexico,
US and Canada. MetLife will host the final game, which
will take place on July nineteenth, and airbnb prices are
already skyrocketing, so some of the some of like the examples.

(25:52):
They gave a seven bedroom property in Jersey City, which
isn't far from the Meadowlands where MetLife Stadium is, going
for twenty seven thousand dollars for three nights, a four
bedroom home in midtown Manhattan if you wanted to stay
in the city going for almost thirty k, and several
two to three bedrooms that are within five minutes of
MetLife Stadium going for at least twelve thousand dollars for

(26:15):
the weekend. The World Cup takes place from June eleventh
to July nineteen, sixteen venues across North America, So if
you're near a hosting gun, you maybe consider letting one
of your places doing it up on the AIRBNBA Midwica.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Major, Dude, that was a long winded spot. Jesus, I
got twelve minutes, major, every major. My wife and I
have talked about this for real because the Olympics come
out here in twenty twenty eight. They do, and I
live in the valley. We have a five bedroom house
with like a finished garage. You could also call that
like a six bedroom. My wife and I have talked
about like pay for the kids college, because they were saying,
like out here in LA when the Olympics here, they're saying,

(26:49):
you might be able to rent your house for fifty
to one hundred thousand dollars for a.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
Month if you have five or more bedrooms. Events will
be spread all over the LA County areas.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Right know what else is going to be spread legs
over Rich's bed? Who cares? I'll go buy a cheap
bed for my Kiya. You want some other strangers dropping
in your kids room? Yeah, I'll give us the first
time for everything.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
It's your whole. An episode of Room Raiders after the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
There, I'll bring the black line into this. Guys, I
would really care. I told my wife, I'm like, I'll
go do the show remote for a month. I think
the boss would understand. I'll give them a cut. I'm
gonna rent my couch show for eighty dollars a night.
If anything, I was saying, I'll go, I'll live with
I'm gonna live with you. Now, I'll live with you. Well,
ret my apartment, I'll pay your rent for the month.

(27:33):
I'm and double I'll live with you. My wife could
go live with the kids. Because it's some serious money,
and in a time where everyone claims to be broke,
they got all this coin to be buying tickets tickets
alone are expensive, and then renting out houses for thirty
fifty thousand dollars off. These are teams in facility. That's
crazy due that this kind of money could be made.

(27:55):
So I guess if you have the opportunity, you definitely
have to consider it. I also have to take some
at profit and use it for a real deep cleaning afterwards.
Of course, if you think they're going to respect your home,
I think you're crazy. There's a matter of dude, a
couple thousand dollars. If they've dent the wall chip of
the sanctity of your your kids are raised, soccer hooligans
are gonna be ramming their head through your wall. Sad Please,

(28:15):
I've already been in touch with the Norwegian louge team.
All right, next story is alright?

Speaker 8 (28:20):
Uh, Tom Brady to any Tom Brady news, I know
you love, but turning into a bit of a grumpy
old man screaming at the cloud. So while appearing on
the Spit and Chickletz podcast, host Ryan Whitney was talking
about players coaches quote players coaches being replaced by disciplinarians,
and Brady did not hold back. Going on this rant
about the quote younger generations. He said that the generation

(28:43):
is so soft. He said, they're just unwilling to take
criticism for lack of performance. Why do we allow this
with parents? Why do we allow it in schools? Why
do we allow it with coaching? Where it's okay to
mess up and screw up in front of your teammates
because you're not prepared or you didn't put the effort in.
Why can't we call people out on that? Why do
we have to apologize for trying to get the best
out of somebody. That's what needs to change.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (29:06):
He went on to say that this just fractures the
teams for people involving people who aren't involved with the
inner circle of a team.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Soaker major, I say it's mid Tom Brady has plenty
of other fun story surrounding him from a sorry sorry
Alex wasn't involved, sitting clons weren't involved. I mean, I
think it's a major because this great advice, so who
is coming from It's a guy who's who's proven to
know a little something about great But he was telling
you if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes.

(29:35):
Should follow that blueprints not being a WEENI about it.
Did you win the role of the dice? But you
were done? You said you spoke your mind. Don't you
mean you actually? I cut you rich Hotlans not involved.
You were very whole home and you passed it off
to me. Listen, I'm I'm the number one coach here
on Fox Sports Radio. Oh no, and I'm gonna tell
you this now you are facts. I always was. Hey,

(30:00):
so you defending Doug. He's doing really well? He is.
I'm proud he's succeeding. Go Doug. Yeah, I'm now friends
with Stu Gott. Sorry. So here's my thought. My thought
is there comes an age where this matters. Right, Like
I coach kids are five six, My daughter's eight, he
plays eight U softball. It's still I go by this

(30:21):
the words of my pal coach ball game. Hey kid,
I love watching you play. Are you having fun? Yes?
You get to an age twelve thirteen, eleven, twelve thirteen,
that's when it's like, all right, are you in this
to win it? Do you want to learn competitiveness and
you want to learn how to be a winner? Things change?
But when kids are ten years old or younger, accountability
are kidding me? They're you know, half the kids run

(30:43):
to third base first. You could now answer, I already
stoke my mind. The guy created the he knows the
way to do it. So why wouldn't you take his advice?
You know better than Tom Brady? In my face, what
do you know about winning? What do you know about
attacking down hill, you know about attack of that hook,
get ahead of Here's Tom Brady, dude. Listen to what

(31:03):
he says, does your does your sons ate you?

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Or what is it?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
What does he play? Does he have more rings than
Tom Brady? No? But I think that that comes a
distinct agent. I think we have to ask eleven can
I can I make one final point though? Yeah? You know,
in situations like this when it comes to coaching or bosses,
tough bosses, tough instructors, are they just being jerks or
are they trying to bring out the greatness in you?

(31:27):
It's sort of like the Devil Wears Praduct? Was the
boss a jerk or trying to bring out the greatness?
In the movie Whiplash? Was JK. Simmons a jerk? Or
was he trying to bring out the greatness in Miles Teller? Both?
You know, it takes a lot to be great. It
takes a lot of dedication, a lot of commitment, a
lot of sacrifice. And if Tom Brady's saying, hey, sometimes

(31:48):
this tough love is needed, I think it probably should
take his advice.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
All right, Hi, gonn squeeze one more and my Miami
Hurricanes running back Mark Fletcher Junior been dominating in his
team's run to the national championship. This Monday right and
reveals that his mother has been his biggest supporter, so
much so that she drives to every game, no matter
the location. He said that she really does not not
only love to support her son, but loves the travel involved.

(32:14):
So this season Miami had four road games, racking up
about seventy five hundred miles in her travels. But in
the postseason, in the three games in the post scenes
and there were two games in Texas and one game
in Arizona, racking up a total travel of seventeen thousand miles.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Just to go out and support her son.

Speaker 8 (32:32):
Fletcher said he did offer his mom plane tickets to
go see him play, but she is not a fan
of flying, so she decided to drive. Luckily, the final
is only about a half hour away, so not many
more miles there.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Made mature this a week as story week, I thought
this was a very swing fluffy way story. No, get
on a plane, dufus wich, it's his mother. I'm let
me horrible human. Let me let me rephrase. I deal
with this sometimes with my mother in law I'm in
caliph you here. My mother loves in Texas, and I
will volunteer, like Cindy, you're such a great grandmother to

(33:06):
our children. I will plane tickets on me and she'll
choose to drive. She's like John Manning, she doesn't trust
to play. What I'm saying is you can't then feel
bad for someone that's like, been on the road for
two days when you offered to buy them a plane ticket,
Like you know what I'm saying, Like if I if
Kavino's like I'm hungry, and I'm like, dude, I offered
to stop and get you a sandwich, Like you can't
complain when someone offered you something, right, I mean, if

(33:27):
he offered his mother plane tickets, God bless her. I
love that she's there for her son. So I don't
want to spend anything negative on a beautiful story. But
I can't feel bad for someone that drove thousands of
miles when someone offered them a plane ticket for free,
seventy five hundred miles for hurricane away games. And I
think this is a mid story, not because yeah, not

(33:47):
because it's not beautiful, but because in the story, the
mom says that she truly loves driving.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
She loves.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Traveling for the game. So that's what she loves to
do it. She loves to do it. Let's do it.
How about it? And you know, good luck to hurt
her Son National Championship. Thank you so much, Spotting, Thank
you spot Hots up guys, Hot Sunday chocolate chocolate all right,
Isaac lohecron, what's up.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Man hi lo?

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Alright, Let's get started with a busy day in the
world of sports. All sorts of things to tell you
guys about. Starting with the news out of college football,
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore announced that he will return to
the Ducks next season. In Major League Baseball, Big signing
the Boston Red Sox inking left handed pitcher Ranger Suarez
to a five year, one hundred and thirty million dollar

(34:36):
deal in the NFL. Former Baltimore Ravens head coach John
Harbaugh has been meeting with the New York Giants today
at their facility. At last report, he is still there.
I will double check just to make sure the deal
is Steve Tish, he's one of the co owners of
the Giants. A plane that he owned went from New
Jersey to Baltimore this morning, was on the ground in

(34:57):
Baltimore for forty five minutes, flew back to New Jersey.
It landed there nine hours ago and as of now,
that plane is still there in New Jersey. Speaking of
the Ravens, they interviewed Brown's defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and
Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter for their head coaching job.
Pittsburgh Steelers requested interviews with Mintor Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores,

(35:19):
Rams passing game coordinator Nate Schielhouse, and Rams defensive coordinator
Chris Shula. Meanwhile, former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel
will interview Friday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator job. Finally,
we have a National Championship game. Parking update. I'm looking
at the secondary market, not for tickets for Indiana against Miami,

(35:43):
but rather parking spaces in the parking lot of Hard
Rocks Stadium. Cavino and Rich would you like to take
a guess as to what they're going for right now
in the stadium parking lot on the secondary market? One
parking pass.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
My favorite show in the eighties two to two seven,
two hundred and twenty seven dollars rich two hundred and
twenty eight.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Dollars lowest price right now, seven hundred and forty seven.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Dollars lowest price. That's good, but don't worry.

Speaker 6 (36:10):
If you are right across the street, that price goes
down to a much more manageable three hundred and ninety
four dollars.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Back to you, man, where's the running backs? Mom gonna park?

Speaker 6 (36:21):
He ever Glades?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Perhaps? My goodness, thank you, Isaac. And by the way,
pitching people are so desperate for starting pitching. Ranger Suarez
is good, don't get me wrong, but the guy's never
won more than twelve games. We'll talk about a guy
that goes like twelve and eight, twelve and dollars like
with Eer in the threes, which is great, but to
make that type of money, like, honestly, people take big
chances on good starting pitchers. Yep, really as well, there's

(36:43):
very few Garrett Coles, very few. Garrett Cole's not even
playing for another month or two after the season starts.
Seeing what rodn But I'm saying, like Scoop Bowl and Skins,
there's very few guys of that caliber. So hey, anyway,
we got more CNR we got a little NBA news.
We'll get to next. That's to do with Giannis. So
hang tight more CNR neck. Have you ever wiped with
a piece of dry single ply toilet paper and wondered

(37:06):
is this as good as a cat's? Uh? Well it's not.
It's a lot better thanks to the wet extra large
cleaning power of dude wipes. You said it, buddy, and
uh we say actual large. We mean business. No matter
what the size of your mass top to bottom, dudes
has you covered for a confident clean They comfortably clean
up whatever TP leaves behind. No maintenance wipes, no irritation,

(37:27):
no debris. It's time to make the trade of the
season and switch from old fashioned TP to wet extra
large dude wipes and start experience. Yeah, think about it.
Are you Abe Lincoln? Are you spartacus is twenty twenty six? Yeah, dude,
you need some dudes wipes And they come to a
variety of sense. Remember and Spartacus, they use a stick.
It would not be called flavors their sense. There's sense.

(37:48):
Mink chill shade shaped butter made from one hundred percent
plant based natural fibers, joined the movement for a Cleaner
movement and Live skid Free available at Amazon and all
major retailers. Dude Wipes Best Clean pants down. I didn't
know Rich had a twin brother until I saw this
video Covino and Rich. Oh, people don't know Rich is

(38:09):
the third proclaimer Covino and Rich jokes on you. You
know there's two on a Fox Sports Radio. Rich is
the third Property Brother. A lot of people don't know
that actually the fourth, because there's three of them already.
What do you know about the property You know there's
already a property you know there's a property brother, a
third one that looks like all goth no joke, he's
like like a punk rock guy Duke. It almost feels

(38:32):
like an SNL bit if you've never looked us up.
There's a third property brother that looks like the Property Brothers,
but he looks like he should be in Fallout Blame
and Rich is the fourth. We're live in the Fox
Sports Radio studio. I'm a big fan of the Property Brothers.

Loewencrown that MANSI walks in the update booth and immediately
like lysol's the whole place like he stinks or something.
I mean, I wipe down the microphones, the counters. I mean,
it's like.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
It is.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
It's everyone is sick.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Bree is literally dying at home. So I usually wipe
everything down when I leave. And when I walk in.
You treated that Fox Sports Radio news anchor little booth
like Isaac's ahobo from skid Row. No, that's you just
making stuff Upcus, you just making stuff up. I let's
see what Danny g does in here every day. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(40:01):
I wipe it down. All the time.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, I have to lias all the chairs I'm gonna
sit in because I think about what these chairs have
been through.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
I don't blame Danny g I have a theory that
people the weekend people here at Fox Sports Radio, and
God bless them all very talented. But do they gnaw
on the armchairs? Because do you gaw on the chairs?
I don't sit on that chair. I sit pieces of
the arm missing.

Speaker 8 (40:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Husky got on your hand every he's a dog. Seriously,
do you guys so fired up and man, they start
biting on the chairs and ripping them. Steve Hardy was like,
I don't get it. So look if people treat things
that way, I don't. I don't blame you for white point.
There's like no virus, r sv blue, COVID, whooping cough.

(40:51):
It's all going around. It's all going on. I've I've
had the I've had like tuberculosis for a few weeks.
You can hear my voice.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
I I even put hand sanitizer on these pens. Every
single pen looks like a dog chewed on it.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
That's also true. Yeah, I know who who does? There
are pens for all of us to use, don't put
them in your mouth. He will go unnamed. He will
go and name. But I know people, we work with bros.
People they chew on the arm rest, they chew on
the pens. So people are just spitting everywhere, shouting all that.
If you know when I are both pen chowers, I'm

(41:28):
I'm a pen I do put the pen in my mouth. Yeah,
but you know what I'm like when you guys all
have these terrible germs. I'm the guy that would I
lived in New York City most of my life, going
to work back and forth. You put your hands on
a subway handle and then bite your nail and look
in your finger. I have the immunity of Like, if
this is zombie virus, I'm surviving, is what I'm saying.

(41:48):
You're not You're not that guy anymore. You're in LA.
It's not like that soft out here. You're soft. Yes,
like the rest of us. This is possible. Hey, you
know what, we have a limited times, So maybe we
push this Giana story back to tomorrow. But then maybe
they'll boo him more in Milwaukee and they'll be more
juice to the story. I think he's saying the right
things just to save face. Like you know, I still

(42:08):
want to play here in Mediawuaukee. But when they're booing
him and he's booing them back, that's not a good look.
I think this relationship's done and he'll end up somewhere else.
All right, Well, listen, Hopefully by the time we talk
to you next, tread Warner will give everyone the thumbs up,
and Kyle Tucker will be in New York met We
could all dream and hope right and tomorrow we do
a little show and tell more reason to check us

(42:29):
