Speaker 4 (01:56):
I think it was it was it you were daddy,
someone said me, speaking of Leonardo DiCaprio is fifty one today.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Did you see that his yacht in.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
The French Riviera was actually the only people responding to
some SOS call. So some little dude both gets picked
up by Leo and it's just it's a yacht of ass.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So he went from someone went from like dying, you know,
drowning in an ocean to partying with hot shrieks.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It's like, uh, it's like when Harry and Lloyd got
pulled over by that uh that bus of women and
dumb and dumber.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
How cool is that?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So, John Gruden, we got to get to this because
we got Shack Diesel, Whack Diesel waiting in the lobby
to give away some prizes. We're gonna do some trivia
here on the show this hour. He said some things
about Thursday night football and if you missed it, hit it.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sam.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Let's start with Thursday night football.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Man, what a treat.
Speaker 8 (02:49):
It is.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
No preparation, no time to recover, no chance get rid
of these Thursday night games.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Jump them.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
It's not fair to the players. It's not heard of
the coaches who goes out and tries to perform at
a high level.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
With no preparation.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Dump these games.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It'll never happen.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But he does make a solid point and as a result,
Like I said, we're getting an over I don't want
to see an oversaturated football season. But it definitely a
watered down product on Thursday Night, and it's been showing lately.
All the primetime games lately have been weak because you're
not getting enough preparation, not enough rest, and it just
(03:30):
doesn't feel big.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It feels weak.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's more always better.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
No, Like if I said, hey, you're gonna get more pizza,
but it's like trash pizza. If I said, you know,
you're gonna get more loving, but it's not like quality,
it's like lazy rich.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Don't I call this the peeps theory, bro, the Peep's theory.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You nailed it. When we were kids.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Every Easter you look forward to getting that little package
of peeps from the Easter Bunny.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Easter Bunny, we'll bring you peeps, yellow ones, blue ones,
pink ones. But it was one once a year, and
you'd look forward to him. When they started putting them
out for every holiday and all the time and easily available,
you're like peep suck.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I used to call it the Wizard of Oz theory.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Do you remember around Thanksgiving time they'd air The Wizard
of Oz? There was like a big deal and you
sit there with the whole family because it was a
special moment. Then they started airing it all the time,
and it's not as special.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's just not as good. That's just how it is.
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Supply and demand, I don't know, but the less of it,
the more you want it. And football it seems to
be almost a little too much. Not complaining, just displaining
what John Gruden's saying here. And as a result, with
recovery time, we're not getting the product that we're supposed
to when it comes to the NFL.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
And if you're wondering, did we just make an analogy
using peep Sex, Thursday Night Football and the Wizard of Oz,
You're damn.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right we did, and we just made the Babagan boom.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
So any other rules or I guess you would say,
chang that didn't work in sports in life where you're like, yeah,
that that just didn't work.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, we're witnessing a failed experiment that hopefully they can
improve on. I don't know how. I don't know how
you speed up recovery or make it better. That's for
them to figure out. It's not my job. But we're
witnessing a failed experiment that's going to continue. What are
some other ones that come to mind that maybe went
away eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
You know, if people are on hold, they're saying they
know how to fix thirsday football. But let me hit
you up with one more sure. I think during the
playoffs now you might say, you might say, oh, that
was a strategic move by Fox and TBS. Have you
noticed that during the postseason they really made that X
strike zone so faintly light, Like I feel like, it's
(05:49):
not our job to be the.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
At home umpire. You follow what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
During the regular season, you think it's too light? No,
I liked it. I thought it too.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I think during the regular season they realized, like, listen,
we're not supposed to be at home umpires where every
pitch we see if the umpire just got it right
or not. Like I like the faint little strike zone
where you could sort of see but it wasn't a
distinct like bordered square.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, the failed experiment being like too much of that
then you got it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Didn't see the post though, you didn't see the postseason.
The pitch clock countdown because you don't want to be
reminded of these things, but you want them to be there.
So I think that's what baseball learned the year. Like
the rules are good, you just don't need to show us.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Eh failed, Let's go to the phones. What do you
think about Thursday night football? How do we fix it?
We have lots of phone calls. Now's your time to
call it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and
of course at Covino and Rich. You want to start
in Seattle. I want to ski Dattle to Seattle. What's
ski daddle to Seattle with them' Steve?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Steve Largent?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 9 (06:55):
Hey guys, everything's great here with the exciting Seahawks. And
I just I don't know. I suspect that this has
been really analyzed, but it seems like this there's such
an obvious fix to this, and that is to not
start the Thursday night games until a few weeks in
the season when the buys start, and then from that
(07:15):
point on you only can test the Thursday night games
between two teams that have been on a buy the
prior week.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Now, and you know what, what you're saying makes a
hell a lot of sense. And I know that there's
a panel of schedule gurus, Dan Bayer, you could confirm this.
There isn't there like a panel of people that make
the schedule every year. This isn't some AI generated thing like,
it's a panel of people. And I wonder if they
could throw that in or if they've thought of that already.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
They used to do that.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Now there are a lot of computers that will that
will print out a bunch of different schedules for you.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh wait, so they took those jobs too. The really yes,
Oh my god, what are you gonna tell me next?
Speaker 11 (07:52):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
What are you gonna tell me next?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
NFL football's aren't weave together by a bunch of old ladies.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
See that right?
Speaker 10 (07:59):
Yes, because for us thinking like there's only like one
or two or three possible schedules, they do have a bunch. Now,
there's a lot of stuff they have to work around,
you know, facilities, they have to work around concerts, there's
TV stuff with the New York market, the Florida market
has three teams, so you're moving teams around in that way.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
But yes, now it's kind of done by.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Computer AI taking her jobs.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Failed experiments, Jam Allen Iris Sports, but it could be
anything any failed experiment eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Let's go to David in Missouri. You're on the Cavino
and Rich show. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Was that about?
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Hey, guys, So that previous color took my idea kind of.
But instead of eliminating Thursday until the Bibley's kick in,
how about having the former playoff teams from the previous
season play while you're waiting for the buys to kick
in That way, I mean, they're already their ex playoff teams,
so they might be well led machines, better product on the.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Field, but they've also also played a couple extra games
more than anyone else, So you could argue that is
the opposite sidehould.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Be it should be the teams who didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Maybe yeah, but that would other.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Maybe not be the greatest games. Yeah. I mean it's
hard because the NFL is not going to eliminate games.
They're always trying to add more games.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Maybe it's like a second string game for second string
players only, and like if they add an eighteenth game,
you gotta play your second string too. Another question for you, guys,
I don't know any solution that would make sense to that.
I think we're just gonna have to deal with the
fact that it's just a watered down product.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
You want to know, it's absurd.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
Sorry, rich I was just gonna say there are situations
too where a team will play on Thursday or have
a bye, and then they won't play until that next Monday.
Like this, This happens more than you would think. So
not only does the team have a really long week now,
then they have a short break, they have a short
week coming back on the other side. So there's there's
not a lot of rhyme or reason for why these
(09:53):
matchups are placed when they were when you're trying to
determine rest because they can't even get that straightened out,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
There's there's you're one hundred is that right? Because it's
now now it's a little too much.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
I think we figured it out. They should rehire humans
to make the schedules rather than these computers in AI.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, maybe you missed the human element.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
In things coved that are currently happening. And I wonder
if either one of them will be looked back and say, oh,
you know, maybe we should change that. The mid season
tournament in the NBA. It's a couple of years in
do we care enough? Will that continue where we're gonna
look back to me? I can't remember those like four years.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And that's a good one, dude.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I feel like for me personally, I I it gives
me no excitement, not really now, Danny, how do you
feel about the in season tournament?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, it has a soccer vibe to it, right, like
they're trying to emulate something soccer does are very European.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, I'm not feeling.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Along along those lines.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Though.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
There's been news over the last couple of weeks that
there's an NBA Europe League that is about to be unveiled,
maybe as soon as twenty twenty seven, where you would
have twelve teams in Europe play each other in different cities.
There is the talk of possibly having those teams play
US based NBA teams down the line, where you could
(11:12):
have some sort of tournament. So I don't know how
we want to get used to the NBA Cup or
how because there could be changes.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
If this NBA Europe.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Cool, well, he works off as time goes. You give
it time to develop and figure out, like I felt
that way Dan about like the World Baseball Classic. At
one point, I'm like, yeah, I feel like I'm the
only one that cares. No one's really caring. They made
some cool adjustments, they got better players and better teams
and some better competition, and now I'm looking forward to it,
Like the World Baseball Classic to me is not a
failed experiment, Like I'm actually looking forward to that. And
(11:43):
there was a long time where no one was really
or felt like no one was really caring or watching
that much. Rich in our industry We've mentioned this a
few times, but in our industry broadcasting, you got to
remember like the Jack FMS, right, which in concept and
theories sounded kind of cool. It's like, yeah, throw it
on shuffle man, It's like shuffle for your car. Just
(12:04):
shuffle radio station Jack FM. And I always think of
Dining Dave David Lee Roth in the mornings zity bittybop,
busy busy bop, good morning. I always think of Diamond Dave,
and everyone thought like his dynamic character and personality would
would replace Howard Stern. But then he got all like
serious and it wasn't the David Roth everybody wanted, so
(12:25):
failed experiments.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I'm just trying to think about the different one.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
You know, the Jack FM One's funny because I think
every city there was there might still be a JACKFM.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But the concept was the copod on shuffle.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
But then everyone the answer was, well, you don't want
to listen to someone else's iPod on shuffle.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, you like your iPod on shuffle. You don't like anyone.
I would hate Rich's iPod on shuffle. And that's what
Jack FM. And it still exists, I believe, but.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Too much count and Crow's and Proclaimers or what.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Like, you know you want to get it.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
It also sounded too recorded on those radio stations, not
enough lot elements.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So kind of a fail experiment. Good in theory, good
in theory.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
What about?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I mean, we love football more than anything, right, I mean,
it's still no matter how big baseball had a season
this year, the NBA's pop into but football is still king.
Any Anything other than the NFL and your college football
that we're used to just doesn't work. Xfl usfl uxfl any,
(13:24):
whatever they're trying to do, it just doesn't ever work.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And I don't think it ever will.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I agree with you yeah, we are seasonally conditioned to
be like I like football from like the beginning of
the school year, like August September until February. Then I
like basketball and baseball and hockey. Like we don't want
football in the summer. I think we figure that out
no matter how many iterations. And I think when it
comes to All Star games, I think we're realizing that.
(13:49):
That's why they keep fiddling with the Pro Bowl and
NBA All Star Weekend. They're trying to figure out what
will stick because it just seems like it hasn't again.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And we have to keep in mind John brew And
saying this, that's that says a lot about how coaches
really feel about it.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And he's also it's also like NFL public enemy number one,
so I think he likes to mix stir it up too.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But he started up.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But I don't think anyone would disagree. Like the product
hasn't been good. It hasn't. You're just watching it because
it's the NFL playing and simple because there's like nothing
better to watch on a Thursday night.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
But we are prisoners of the moment here a little bit,
because if you, I know, it feels like now what
week are we going into eleven. But remember we started
out with some really good primetime games.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, but as the season goes shows there you go.
I mean, and you're seeing that, like you know what
you're seeing that firsthand. There's a lot of speculation today,
like the Steelers, like they look beaten and defeated because
they're older in the season is going on, and that's
why you're getting this product. You know, there's there's mileage
by week eleven. So yeah, your Thursday night product is
(14:55):
gonna suffer a little bit. Alejandro, Alejandro and fillmore California
Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
What do you think about what John Gruden said?
Speaker 9 (15:05):
All right, No, to be honest with yes, we're talking
about games and stuff, right, putting everything in Europe and stuff.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (15:12):
Can you imagine what it would be like if you
had the Chievans plane on Medica in the US.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I think there would be long term if this did
work out, there would be some record breaking games if
they're really if some sports went global Comino after a while,
if it did build up, it would be what we
view with sports now, even to the next level.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I just don't know if the interest is there. I
don't I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Like Disneyland open, Disney World opens in other countries, it
works out well, like half the time France, Japan. Yeah,
like not everywhere, not everywhere, So you.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Don't know, you know, to just go off the bye
week conversation that you guys are having as well to
look ahead. I think we all expect the NFL to
go to an eighteen game schedule at some point, which
would very likely mean two buys per team. You could
then do what you guys have been talking about what
the callers feedback on social media as well have said
(16:13):
of if you now have two buys to work with
when giving teams Thursday night football, you'd be able to
work with that. I don't know what you would do
in weeks eighteen and nineteen at the end of the season,
or what you would do in weeks one and two
when you wouldn't want to necessarily give a team a
buy that early or that late, but it would give
them more flexibility. But it would also, guys, because of
(16:34):
the conversations of having the Super Bowl beyond President's Day weekend,
so everyone has that Monday.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Off following, Oh, that would extend it to that it
would oh wow, So there's more multiple reasons there maybe
make that.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Happen, Yes, but you would also likely have to start
the season a week earlier. So because not only are
you adding a game, you're adding a buy so you're
actually adding two weeks. If you added one at the
back end of the schedule to make it President's Day weekend,
you're likely to have to start the NFL on Labor
Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You know what I said, Dan, Let's let the robots
worry about it. Yeah, the robots, I'm sorry, can't compute schedule.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I mean, I mean at this point, just kill one
of the preseason games. Well, they would, they would.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
In preseason eighteen regular twenty total and like Dan said,
one week in the beginning, one week at the end.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Perfect though, any other any other failed experiments come to mind, I'm.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Sure that algorithm of like Dan said, international games combined
with Thursday night and buys and rest, there's you know, yo,
let's put AI to the test.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Let's go absolutely.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know, I'm thinking, like I'm really thinking of failed
experiments in sports, So I'm like focusing on sports. How
about the baller brand sneaker? Like that was the weakest
ever ended up costing his son's career to some degree,
you know, getting hurt as a result. But remember so
much hype around those step sneakers and the ball brand,
(18:01):

Speaker 1 (18:01):

Talking about failed experiments at sports before we get into
shock diesel trivia, Can I hit you up with the
white Sox uniforms where they wore shorts and collars.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh that's the best. Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Those weak guess shorts that they had were cool.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You can't look cool?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Where that so memorable? Though? You could actually say it worked?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Maybe so right, you know you could say.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I mean, there was a lot of moves in sports
that seemed like experiments, Like I felt like even Pitt,
like the Yankees with Jaba Chamberlain, I thought that was
like a failed experiment.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Karl Malone to the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Carl Malon, Yeah, you know what I mean, because they
built all the Jabba rules around the guy and he
never really panned out to be what everyone thought he
was going to be. Like, there's so any thoughts I
have about failed experiments in sports. If you want to

Really good game today. And I feel, you know, the
great competition all around. There is a dirty feeling when

the seventy six ers tonight against the Celtics, dealing with
Niee soreness, so this could keep him.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Out a little while.
Speaker 10 (29:18):
Grizzlies forward Brandon Clark's going to be out a while,
six to nine weeks to be exact, following a knee scope.
That was the message from the Grizzlies today. Former Nicks
guard Michael Ray Richardson, also played for the Nets during
his career, died at the age of seventy. Former NFL

Giants head coaching vacancy. Belichick, right now, we know it

I've been done this real before. I'm focused on the
way for us.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
That's it, and that's my commandment of this team and
next week it'll be to our next opponent and so forth.
Speaker 12 (30:38):
But you know I'm here to do best I can
for this team.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
It also wasn't a no. That was not a no.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Guys, Back to you, nice current on to Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Two things, Dan Bayer, I just want to let you know,
I know you've been leaning more Kavina lately. Did you
notice who when you started your update took their headphones
off and just was doing something else.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I was engaged.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I was listening switching headphones. Okay, interesting, I put on
my better ones for your update, Dan.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I want that in crystal clear quality. I want that high.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Depth, and I want to bring up one of the
thing you said, cfl. I want to just encourage everyone. Cavino,
I know, I'm pretty sure you watched the John Candy documentary.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Of course I did. Yeah, it's called like me.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
That it's on Amazon Pip and he was.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
He really did. He liked him, it really was.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
It was a beautiful documentary.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
But I'll be honest, as a young boy, I didn't
know what what involvement he had with the Argonauts and
Canadian football I had.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Did you know that? Like, were you that aware that
John Candy was so involved?
Speaker 13 (31:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
But he looks like John Madden out there on the field, doesn't.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I know he did.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So if you need something to watch John Candy, I
think we forget how legendary and what a monstrous part
of our childhood he was.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
So if you need a documentary to watch, and.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
They talk about his journey into sports and what a
big football fan he was as well.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
So John Candy I like me on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Really great watch for sure?
Speaker 6 (32:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
So, Rich, I want people to start thinking about the
weirdest job, maybe weirdest interviews that you ever had, weirdest job,
weirdest interviews, because there's a listing they're listening out there
is kind of weird. But you gotta be fast. You
gotta be fast to get this job. You gotta be
able to sprint. We'll tell you. But think about your
(32:24):
weirdest jobs and your weirdest interviews. And we're gonna take
your phone calls right here on the Cavino and Rich Show,
live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
So you're telling me this guy wasn't a superstar? Did
he drop.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
DJY Mornings with Diamond, Dave Covino and Rich on Fox
Sports Radio. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
I want to think whacked diesel by the way for
stopping by. He said he had a cold. If he
sounded funny, that's why it was great to have him.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
I have a question about failed experiments. Yeah, I don't
know how we all look back at this. It might
be different if you ask every single person in the studio,
because right now, I think in the last thirty years
sports have become more funny. I'll be honest, Like light
shows like ours, you know McAfee's you know doing it.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, this has always been our brand. This is always
what we've done for over twenty years. It just somehow
now fits into the way our culture has.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Gone a little bit.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I mean we didn't even just to fit in.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
We started by.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Doing like a like a guy lifestyle show, and then
we found the sports world. But I feel like McAfee, barstool,
what we do. I just feel like there's a lot
of light shows. Dennis Miller doing Monday Night Football. Do
you look at that as they injected some humor into
Monday Night Football? Or do you look at that as like, YEO,
what a dumb experiment.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I look at it as like it just didn't work.
You know, it was just a personality clash. Snarky at
it hit a couple, hit a couple like them. But
his snarky attitude didn't vibe with the casual beer helmet
wearing NFL fans. You know, the face painted NFL fan
wasn't fib is his snarky attitude. We're live from the
Fox Sports Radio studio, and getting a new job could
(34:18):
be much easier with Express employment pros. With Express, you'll
have a local connection to the job market, gets started
at expresspros dot com to find a location near you
as www dot expresspros dot com. And that ties right
into what we're talking about, because maybe the Braves should
go to expresspros dot com. The Atlanta Braves are looking
(34:42):
for a new mister Freeze. Does everybody know who mister
Freeze is? Because I think they should, but I don't
think they do. Is this the.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Dude, because I didn't see the story now you and
Danny were talking about it. Is he the guy that
gives like the random fan, like a halfway major head
start and then he catches them.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yes, that's exactly who it is.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
So the Braves have posted a job opening and they
might have to go to expresspros dot com because they're
looking for a new mister Freeze. Now, it's it's very
rare that someone beats mister Freeze, but that's exactly what
it is.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
It's that race you see on the warning track where
some goofy fan gets ahead start, some forty something year
old guy pulls a hammy, falls on his face, and
mister Freeze goes, you know.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Flying by him.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Shoo, dude, I mean, I don't know if Antonio Brown
beats the charges, maybe that's his only option.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, he could be the next mister Freeze. They're looking
for Get this rich you should sign up a mascot sprinter.
You're at the school mascot in your kid's school.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
I have dressed up as the mascot, but I mean
you have to wear all spandex.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I need to do it. So I need to do
some ab work before I.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Rock that cost.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
That's some outfit. Yeah, you can't look like a It's
not a sausage race. It's mister Freeze. So here's the
qualifications of the responsibilities, right, Atlanta braves part time work,
which probably means mister Freeze gets no benefits.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
He's got bad teeth.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Event guest relations, fan development, mascot. Here's the responsibilities as
racetracks the Freeze entertain fans while performing in the racetrack
Beat the Freeze in game promotion. This promotion requires the
performer to sprint while racing a fan on the field,
must be physically able to participate in the racetrack Beat
(36:25):
the Freeze before Braves home games. So that's really the qualifications.
I would imagine you have to be at a certain
level of fit and fast to be mister Freeze. It
doesn't say exactly what, but you can't just go there
and be, yeah, I'm kind of fast. You probably have
(36:46):
to have a pretty stellar one hundred yard dosh forty
times at least.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Rich really quick. The first kid who commented on this
post says, what are the hours?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Exactly? What a weird job?
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Shit dandy g like we all know, like red Panda
who balances plates or you know people that do juggling
acts at halftime.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Let's let's be real here.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
We know that the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders got a big
raise because of the show that Cavino loved on Netflix America.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, so let's do it.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Eighty won home games for the Braves.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I think they quadrupled their pay if I'm not mistaken.
I forget the exact stat but it was significant, and
you know, it was a tough pill to swallow, but
still prideful for people that just missed that window. Dancers
for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, the dance squad or cheer team,
whatever you call it, who had given years up making
peanuts and then all of a sudden, these other dancers
(37:38):
come around, they're making decent money.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I have a question.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah, eighty home games, eighty one home games. I'm gonna
I'm gonna throw a number at you, and you tell
me if you think that's way too little or maybe
way too much. Just for okay, just remember this person
needs to be unbeatably fast, right.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Because that's all get physically fit.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Yeah, so unbeatably fast with the whole gimmick is like, Yo,
they don't lose.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I actually, I imagine you have to be able to
represent the organization in a particular fashion. That's that's cool
with them, you know what I mean, Like if you're
mister Freeze, like you have to be that and be
working well with kids and families and things like that.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
All right, here's here's my number. And now you might
say way too little. I'm not churee. You may save
me way too much because he's doing one race a night.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Ye part time, right, and you get all this coverage
on Sports Center and everything else.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
If they pay him two fifty a game, that's twenty
thousand dollars for the baseball season? Is that way too little?
Speaker 6 (38:35):
Man?
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I was thinking less than that one race, that's it.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
But what are you gonna give them what are you
gonna give him twenty bucks?
Speaker 1 (38:42):
No, yeah, you're probably right, probably like two fifty.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
So let's say they pay him two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Maybe even three hundred through was three hundred times eighty,
I'd pay with than that twenty four thousand.
Speaker 15 (38:52):
You have to make yourself available for all these games
and like at different times, and you can't have another job.
That's like he has the stadium the time. I know,
but it just feels like it's a job that you
really have to slice out a chunk of time for.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
So if you want to do fifty thousand dollars, if
you want to do fifty thousand dollars, cove by let's
say eighty games, because you miss one, right, that's six
twenty five game. You think they're gonna pay something ude
six to twenty five games to run a race in
between half an inning.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
For one race.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
If you're a guy with some speed, that's that's a
good gig. That's not a bad part time.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Especially your Sam's right, you have to be You have
to drive to the stadium, park, go in, put on
your uniform, your your little spandex.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Eighty one times every years.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
You got to warm up.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I can't, we can't.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
We can never go out for dinner because, uh, I
guess Sam, I'm at eighty one braves games. I don't know, honestly,
Sam and Danny g throw number. What do you think
is a fair number for mister mister Freeze?
Speaker 15 (39:50):
I'd say anywhere three to five hundred appearance.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
How how much you page? How much is too much?
How much is rich? Get paid to be mister cheese?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
What if I sold?
Speaker 9 (40:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
As you go to it?
Speaker 11 (40:06):
Why here at the Sausage Trust, make some noise for
mister cheese, So to cheese. Let's say.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
That's funny as hell.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
All right, Let's say you go to a kid's birthday
party and they got some woman dressed up as Elsa
doing face paint, and she's like, I'm Elsa, like some
blonde woman.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Yeah, I've I've hired that for my daughter's party.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Is probably like a G Yeah, like five hundred two
thousand dollars to hire some woman party?
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Yeah, I think I heard Elsa for at least at
least a G plus means what.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
About some dude that makes balloon animals and does car
tricks with the kids?
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Like you.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Gotta remember mister Freeze might make I don't know. That's
a good question. Your thoughts at Covin and Rich, how
about that?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
How about that? And think about your weirdest jobs. Hit
us up at Covino and Rich your weirdest interviews, and
