Speaker 2 (02:32):
So before we went on the air, I gotta tell
everybody now I have the kiss song. I was made
for loving you in my head, and so does everybody
in the studio right now, because we saw Kisses coming
to the Field Rocket Mortgage field House. Yeah, so that's
gonna be exciting. Were you in the kiss when you
were a kid?

Speaker 10 (02:51):
No, I was not.

Speaker 9 (02:52):
I was actually annoyed by all my friends who used
to paint their faces for Halloween, and he wasn't creative
at all, and I wasn't really much into their music.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I tell you funny story. Remember the platinum album?

Speaker 9 (03:06):
Yes, of course, Well, my aunt had the great idea
to she was she was living here in the US.
I was still back home when the album came out.
Remember the THELP were red, they were in black el Peace.
So my brother had requested the album. Of course, Benjamin
Leone was like a kiss fan that tells you everything,

(03:27):
and and I had asked.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
For something else, and of course they didn't bring me that.

Speaker 9 (03:31):
So my aunt had the great idea to like bring
it to the two of us, and Benjamin and I
weren't even though.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
We were forced to hang out together when we were kids.
We were only like a year and.

Speaker 9 (03:42):
So apart, you guys, but we didn't really get along well.
So one time I'm listening to my half and he
wouldn't let me listen to his half, right, So I'm
listening to his half one one time and he comes
into the music room, you know, my father had a
music room and how and he's like, well, you know,
why are you listening to my album? So take take

(04:03):
that off. You can't play my album. So he took
it off that the player turntable, and of course we
started arguing. And my first reaction when he was beating
the crap out of me, is like to reach out
and I pulled slid his LP right into the base
of the drum. The what do you call it English,

(04:25):
the bumbo, the big the big bass, Yeah, the base
and he then shattered into pieces. So that was the
end of the second side of the platinum. You know,
I didn't like kiss.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
This is why you're the black sheep of the you know,
I like that.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I'm the psychedelic sheep. I was in all colors. I
wasn't the black. I invented the next level of black sheep.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I always wish people, because you know, we visit your
folks house every year when we play Sacramento. I wish
people could see the difference the childhood photos, then garden
photos of all Rafa's siblings and then Rafa you can
just tell, like that's the bad one.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
You know, that's the demon seed right now.

Speaker 9 (05:08):
My parents, you know, we're the first generation who actually
graduated from high school.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
We get about college.

Speaker 9 (05:13):
So they're always very proud of my brothers, I must say,
brothers and sisters. They were all a little different than
I was a Victorian.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
In the classes.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
You know.

Speaker 9 (05:22):
I went to Ivy League school and got like, have
all these amazing jobs and amazing families and everything. So
my parents always had a picture of us of them
in graduation and the tie and the diploma underneath, and
and of course it was my oldest brother, like all
beautiful picture, my my sister, the nice picture of my
second brother and mine. But I was a little bit

(05:44):
under the influence on my graduation day.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
So you were a lot under the influence. I've seen
that for my picture wasn't you were a mess man.

Speaker 9 (05:52):
It actually made my parents, who like reconsider what they
were putting on display because my picture wasn't really there
the good one.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
You're a new since Hey, welcome to Winey Gold Radio.
Hey we're joined for the second show in a row
with our by our roady Nicole. Yeah right, I know
we have a roady. Yeah, take that feeder and Hayden.
Our roadie is ten times better than they still got
it another thing than you and me. I got a
road what's that they each have a roady, We only
have Nicole. And we have to talk about our special

(06:22):
guests that we have today. We've been talking halftime. We
talk halftime almost every show, and today we have the best,
the actual half. Yeah, maybe the best halftime show. Really
the best halftime show in the NBA Christian and Scooby.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
I mean, we could be better if he had a monkey.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, we're going to get to that. But we're definitely
going to get to that.

Speaker 9 (06:42):
We got to get one of those monkeys that that
Ac always talked about. When we went to Brazil.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
It was like a squirrel monkey, squirrel monkey to write Scooby,
because we can get a real, an actual monkey to
write Wow Heavy. That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
We need to talk to an actual expert about. Yeah,
monkey size and things like that, because I told you
I saw that movie Nope, and chimpanzees are totally forbidden
the Wow well because one in that movie and also
in real life they could go nuts and tear somebody apart.
You have to be careful about that. Like you can't
have a gorilla. You can't have money.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
No no, no no no, not a gorilla.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
But I'm just saying you can't have something too dangerous.
That's the that's the key. You can't have.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
I like the one that I sent us an idea,
the ones that ride the border coalis right, like they.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Have little monkeys that ride dogs. That's a great one.
But you can't have anything that could turn vicious. So anyway,
so we're gonna have Christian and Scoobyan. There isn't much
cash talk going on right now other than I guess
the draft at the end of the end of the
month last Thursday in June, we have the forty ninth pick,

(07:48):
which I guess people aren't too super excited about. But
I checked through just the forty ninth picks in this century,
the twenty first century. I went through and I looked
Isaiah Mobley think can be I think what number was
he forty nine? I think I think that kid could
turn into a rotational big man.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Needs to get the opportunity and get this to get
them inity.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
But again, you look at the Miami Heat and you
see they have G League guys that they convert into
pros man and yeah.

Speaker 9 (08:17):
But I want to see them do it three four
years in a row. Well supposed to, because remember remember
they had Kendrick Nunn a couple of years ago, right.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, I know, But I mean again, I just think, Isaiah,
Let's let's see what he can do. Isaiah Isaiah Joe
from Okay see Leon Poe former cavalier Leon Poe, Celtic
guy Okay, good player. James Jones champ Ooh nice, nice shooter.
He was in Lebron's draft picks two thousand and three.
Jason Hart, head coach of the G League Knite. Jason

(08:47):
Jason Hart, Jason Well, Jason Hart, the coach of the
G League Knite and the Joker, probably the best player
in the NBA right now. Forty one overall, right, and
then don't forget about me. Back in twenty sixteen with
the forty third tick.

Speaker 9 (09:02):
In the twenty sixteen NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets select
Joe Chi Yochi from sin Chong, China.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
He last played for the shin Jiong Flying Tigers in China.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, okay, so Joe Chi is.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
The opposite of a point guard. He's seven to huh,
a little bit different. So what this is the guy?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
You really like?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fram Well, I like saying his nickname dom Mo.

Speaker 9 (09:28):
Wong's the big Devil kids from I like the way
from for Chila.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Answer.

Speaker 9 (09:34):
I don't think he was like willing to go into
the Yeah, I really like this guy. He was like, Well,
I like his nickname.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I know Frand knew I was going to be a
bust right there. I could tell That.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
Has to be one of my highlights of my road
adventures with the Calves. When I finally got when you
met Joji and Chi Cho to meet.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
When you it was like you could hear we are
the world playing When me and Joji he hooked up
in Houston at one time, that was, of course beautiful moment.

Speaker 9 (10:03):
The whole Chinese media contingency was like shocked to see
that they were actually fans of Joe Chi at the
Houston game.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I should have stuck with the Flying Tigers. Man, I've
been a bust in the NBA. Hey, man, why are
we talking draft? Why what do we got this guy
here for.

Speaker 9 (10:20):
The Golden They welcome up to thording his west Eugenia Monconee.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well, he's sporting something quarter have to dog him about.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (10:30):
All?

Speaker 10 (10:31):
Is not?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, it's not even it's not even close.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, what the hell was that? A mullet? You're breaking
one and gold promises here?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I know you know what you got right now? What
is the mullet? It's called what the party and.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
The Friday in the front. Business in the front, party.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
All You've got his business in the front. There's no
party in the back at all.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Party.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
No No, I know, I think, uh, I think I
feel like we talked about it for so long, like
me getting one, and then all of a sudden the
season ended, and I'm like, well, I'm not just gonna
go like walking around the offices or whatever with the
mullet for a certain amount of time, so I.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Just need to cut it.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
So I did, and I was like, I don't really
you know, I don't really want to deal with the
long hair anymore. So I know, I apologize for the disappointment, but.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
It mattered some phillips and anything to do with it.

Speaker 9 (11:10):
But we were talking about how monitors Joji's Twitter no no,
no money on the mullet.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I mean, there were a.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Couple there were a couple of people on on you know,
on the on the marketing team or digital team that
were like, you should have done it, you should have
got it.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
But yeah, I mean, I'm I'm disappointed. I think Ralph
is disappointed. But what's worse, Luke Travers, you've let us down.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
I know, he said he sent me a text, But
I still like, I still might go through with like
the barbed wire tattoo on my foreum, so you know,
maybe we could get even.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
So, what does the computer team do now that the
season there's no really.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yeah yeah, I mean, of course, like you guys were
just talking about, the draft is at the end of
the month, and we'll have you know, some draft content
and you know, over the next couple of weeks. But
right now we're we're deep into what we're calling our
player week series. We're content both on webin app and
then on social as well, and we're just going week
by week and we're focusing on a couple of different players.

Speaker 9 (12:08):
When you when are you going to have like a
beat Rider week series or like, uh, broadcaster, there's week series.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
I know there was, I don't I don't remember what
it was one or one or two summers ago. I
think there was some sort of like I think they
called it like Creators Week or content Creators Week or something,
and one of the weeks they focused on like the
graphic design team, and then I don't.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Really know, very creative by the way, but I don't
really know.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
That's not sure, that is not sure.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
I don't really know like what was after that, But
you know, I thought, like, you know, the team that
I was on, we get we get you know, a
little love no, but no, So I don't know if
it was just like, uh, you know, something they tried
and it kind of flamed out.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
But yeah, computer team, we get no respect. Really, Rodney
Dangerfield to the company, Yeah Muchacha, What do you got
for us?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Man?

Speaker 6 (12:59):
I mean you kind of talked about it, you know,
a little bit already. But the finals are starting. Game
one is is Thursday, and the day we're recording is Thursday.
So I guess and I and I think I know
the answer for you guys, because you're you know, basketball
fans of course, working in the NBA and everything. But
does the teams that are playing in the finals, not
necessarily this year, but across the board, do the teams

(13:21):
playing in the finals matter to you? Like are you
gonna watch regardless and be excited regardless or would you record?

Speaker 7 (13:26):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yes, I in any championship game or series, I like
a good guy and a bad guy.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
That's for me. I need a villain. I need to Miami.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
You think for me for sure? I mean I'm sharing
it again that I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
But you want those announcers to bring that ring?

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, so now you're talking the court? Yeah, yeah, I
go Denver.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Do you want to do you want those just stick
it in your face again.

Speaker 9 (13:57):
Yeah, but you know, I don't know if you'd marks
the beginning or the end or it's is just in
between of an era. But we don't have those dynasty
teams right now, you know, with the Warriors going down,
with you know, the Lakers and on the East really
really hasn't been a dominant team after after we went

(14:17):
to fourth straight finals. But Denver has been the best
team all year long. I don't care that Milwaukee won
twenty whatever in a row that they did, and they
have the best record and everything, but to me, the
best team this year.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Has been the Denver Nuggets. Hands down.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
It was the best team with the best player.

Speaker 9 (14:36):
I think the system, best game, best team, AF four,
best everything, you know, And I think you have a
group of guys in Miami, and you were talking about
the undrafted guys and all this, but they're having in
as a group like the year of their lives. When
you talk about Max Strus, when you talk about Gay Vincent,
when you talk about Kaylen Martin, who should have been

(14:57):
the m v P.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I have a beef with with Jimmy.

Speaker 9 (15:00):
Yeah, Jimmy, well, Jimmy Newton hasn't really been like ah
but he but yeah. But on the other side, you
have guys that are playing what they're capable of. I
don't think you're getting anything next to from coward Pope.
That's that's what he That's what he can do, right,
that's what he is or or what's his name Brown,
Bruce Brown, Bruce Brown and Porter Junior or sometimes he's on,
sometimes he's I think that the Nuggets with Mylan and

(15:22):
at the head of the thing, they've just been really
good and fun to watch too. I mean, I want
the Joker to win the MVP of the Finals. I
wanted to win the title so he can shove it
to Screaming A Smith and everybody else that that that
didn't vote for him for MVP.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
I mean, I want him. I just want him, so
I just want him to have it so you know,
he can put it in a Bead's face. No, I'm
not the biggest in Bead fan.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I don't know, but I'm not.

Speaker 9 (15:47):
I'm not picking too much of MBIs because he had
nothing to do with it. That more than all the
ex players in media that really I have never seen,
and I know we're in the era of social media
and all that. But I have never seen a media
paying for somebody to win one of those titles.

Speaker 10 (16:04):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Is it just because he won the last two and
they're like, oh, let's.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Change it up, but that's yeah, Or.

Speaker 9 (16:10):
You know he can win three in a row because
only Will Chamberline, he's not he's breaking all the Will's records. Yeah,
in the postseason.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, So I mean is I don't know.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
I feel like it's the same thing that happened, you know,
what was happening with Lebron and even Jordan, Like you
can't and.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
You give the same guy the m v P every single.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Year if he is. I don't think there's.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Much, but maybe they'll say there is, like jokers fatigue,
like you voter fatigue.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
What do you you both think Denver wins?

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yes, I think so. I think I don't think that
it's like a walk in the park.

Speaker 9 (16:42):
And I don't think, you know, like both teams are
just one one ankle twist away from from everything changing, right,
But I don't.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
I don't see how Miami.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
Can do you think I probably know the answer, but
that your answer doesn't change. If Tyler hero plays at
all does it.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
No, I don't think, because I don't think. I don't.
I think the Celtics lost because they just go to
make shots, right, Oh my god. I don't think Denver
is gonna go three for thirty one.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeah, they made like seven. Boston made seven threes over
game six and seven.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
I don't think that was you know.

Speaker 9 (17:12):
And and Miami hasn't been able to win at home
consistently in the playoffs. The Nuggets are on defeated at home,
and so I don't know, it's not a walk in
the park, but I think Denver should be hanging with I.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Think Denver takes game one too, even after not playing
for a week and a half in Miami coming out.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
You know, Miami of course just played.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
But I was thinking about those times when we were
going in the final, we were sweeping everybody, and it
wasn't really.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Like an issue. The time off. Yeah, no, they all
spend it well. They all know what to do, right.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You get you get, you get your body healthy.

Speaker 10 (17:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
I don't think they got I don't think they'll fall
out of a rhythm. They don't seem to be that
type of team. I mean, they're two well coached and
like you said, their system is great, so no, I
think I think the laft will mean nothing to them.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
And our next guest is actually going to be doing
the halftime show's the game one. That's great time if
you're going to be joining us from them.

Speaker 9 (18:08):
But he's actually gonna be only believe it or not
only his second finals game. We'll talk to him about it.
But the other one was here in Cleveland, you know what,
you know what I have to ask him what the
what his game day is like? Do you think Scooby
is taking a napp right now?

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:23):
And the players do it.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
The players get I wonder like Scooby's gotta getting nervous
and like pacing around.

Speaker 9 (18:30):
And well, now he's Scooby and Milo. Now he's two
dogs because he Scooby does the show, you know, which is.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
No person He does the halftime show, and Milo the
little one who is really not ready for prime time.

Speaker 9 (18:48):
That's the dunking Okay, okaying that time now, so it's
it's actually.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Christian and Person.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, but he kept the name Scooby. Cooby was the original.

Speaker 9 (18:59):
Okay, Percy Person is the one doing the show, the
halftime show when now, all right, we'll get and by
the way, I like that mascot in them.

Speaker 3 (19:07):

crazy though, he's really athletic. He's really good and he
has like a have you ever seen him with his
mini Rocky hit? Yeah, a little version.

Cavs knows him personally and says he's the great.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Well he the father was one of the guys that
was one of our mascots for a time. Who is now?

What is great lyrics?

Speaker 10 (21:24):
That's great lyrics?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
The worst that they were too bad. I can't understand
them when you're singing.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Alright, this is Brad Darty, former Capital near legend. Oh
my goodness. And I never listened to Wine and Go nowhere.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
Now back to Wine and Gold Radio.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
That was delicious. All right, Welcome back to the Wine
and Gold Radio Radio and rap. We have a special
guest this week. I know, man a budget for the offseason.
I've been man, We're we're we're really yeah, we're really
broken it here in the offseason, we have to welcome
the halftime act, maybe the d half, the best half act,
the best halftime act in the NBA. Christian and Scooby Christian,

(22:12):
Welcome to Wind to Go Radio.

Speaker 7 (22:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Well, thanks guys, thanks for having us on. Scooby doesn't
have much to say, but I'll definitely have a lot
to say, so I'm happy to be here with you guys.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
So you're joining us from Denver and you guys are
doing Game one of the NBA Finals.

Speaker 10 (22:29):
That right, That is correct?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
So yeah, you know at this point, our friends, they're
not even they're more than friends. Our family from Denver,
we've worked here for you know, I can't even count
how many, but a lot of years, just like our
family over in Cleveland, which actually Cleveland and Denver are
the only two teams that we worked the Finals game with,
so this is super exciting.

Speaker 10 (22:51):
But yeah, they reached out to us.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
We've known for a couple of weeks, but you know,
we didn't know what they were coming because the Celtics
were making it interesting. So it was kind of funny
up but stressful the to not know when we were
coming here. But we're here, we're excited and we're super pumped.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Obviously, make sure Scooby paces himself because of the altitude,
you know, yeah.

Speaker 10 (23:11):
I know, right, Yeah, No, he's fine. Yeah, he's a
he's an all that he's used to it.

Speaker 9 (23:17):
We were talking about this and I know we know
players and we have some kind of like pregame routine.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
What do you do?

Speaker 9 (23:24):
Are we like ruining you nap time or or what?
What what does Christian and Scooby and Milow do now
with you know, on game day?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, So for for the boys, for Percy and Milo,
who are essentially the Scoobies on stage.

Speaker 10 (23:39):
Obviously they perform as the stage name Scooby.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
But for them, I feel like, whether it's a game
there or non game there, their routine doesn't change. They
just snap all day and then it's it's Milo's it's
on his watch whenever he decides he wants to play,
because he's the very playful one. So then when we
start here the little squeaky noises, we know that he's
decided that it's time for him to play right right now.

Speaker 10 (24:05):
But yeah, they don't. They don't have much of a
routine during the day.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
When we do get to the arena though, they've kind
of gotten like now they understand like, Okay, we're in
an arena.

Speaker 10 (24:14):
I think they know what's going on, like and then
they kind of know the routine.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I usually like let them out to do their business outside,
usually right around tip off, so they get that out
the way. But uh yeah, for them, I think they're
just they get super excited when we get in there.
Out For me, sometimes I not, but I don't like to.
As a performer, we are, and I'm sure like you
guys perform on the radio as well. You you fall into,

(24:40):
you know, like creatures of habit. I purposely try to
break the habits because I don't want it to ever
be like, oh my god, I didn't get my nap today,
I'm gonna have a bad show type mentality. So I
actually during the days, you know, I'm pretty pretty open.
Like it's not I don't have a specific routine for
warm up. I do, but even that, sometimes I'll purposely

(25:02):
try to, like, you know, instead of doing three of
this thing in a row, I'll be like, today, let's
just do five or two or something to switch it up,
so it's not exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
So you go, you travel obviously from NBA around NBA
Arenas and the dogs are Chuaha's right, yes, and notous,
notoriously loud, and you know, I mean they're kind of
high maintenance dog. People would think of them as high
maintenance dogs. I know you own you have chiuahwas how

(25:33):
do you kind of keep them quiet? I mean, how
do they how how are they with travel? How are
they in the hotel room?

Speaker 3 (25:40):
How is it?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
What's it like traveling with them?

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Well, so I'll connect this question with kind of the
question I get asked most, which is how do I
train them? But all that that you just mentioned is
actually probably the most training that I do with them,
because the trick wise, like I feel like they're pretty
smart dogs and they pick they can pick up the
tricks rather quickly. But you're right, putting them in front
of a crowd of twenty thousand people, that's the real

(26:04):
trick right there, which a lot of people don't notice
or I guess don't think about when they're watching them
do these feats or these actual like tricks, you know,
like they're on my feet or they are my back
doing a trick.

Speaker 10 (26:15):
So for that, it starts, it starts young.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
You know, Milow was probably three months old when he
did his first flight. And his first flight, actually you
just made me think of this was here to Denver
his first flight. We came, we had a Nuggets game
and I brought him and so, uh, he came here
and you know, like getting him used to that, or
when they're doing the starting lineup and it's really rowdy,

(26:38):
you know, like that's when I'll kind of want him
to be at his most comfortable. So when he was
a puppy, I would hold them, keep them close to me,
be petting him, giving them treats while everything all this
commotions going on, and that just kind of starts getting
them used to being like, okay, like this is normal
stuff like. And so that way, when he's a full
grown pup, that's just second eight. He doesn't even think

(27:00):
about that. It's just his normal environment. So that is
key in the training essentially.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
That was actually that was gonna be my next question.
How do they react to keep a dog calm when
you have twenty thousand people screaming. There's the arenas are
so loud, there's explosions, there's I mean, there's just so
much that would rattle any dog of any breed. How
do you keep them calm through all that?

Speaker 10 (27:27):
Well?

Speaker 1 (27:28):
And so, just like I said, by putting them around
it as much as possible from a young age to
get them used to it. But at the same time,
you know, they are live animals and there's obviously things you.

Speaker 10 (27:38):
Can't prep for.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
I remember we did a halftime show at Okay See
once and they have a blimp there in the arena,
and I never had thought about or anything. And when
we were performing, this was like five six years ago,
I noticed that person who he's the older one now,
he was like looking around and he was super distracted.

Speaker 10 (27:55):
And then that's when I noticed the blimp, and.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I was like, oh, you know, sometimes certain things you
can't prepare it for, so like you know, the pyro
that goes on like some arenas have it, some arenas
don't like so that kind of stuff. You know, That's
why being around as much of this kind of commotion,
you know, is the best because that way they can
just kind of be used to anything and everything. But

(28:18):
you know, there's certain things you can't you know, you
can't prep for or for, like see ahead to like
that like that blimp, or and even little nuances that
they have. So Percy I'd say, was, you know, he
was super quick and easy to teach everything and perform
and milo the tricks.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
He picks up very fast. But one of the things with.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Milo in the beginning that it kept I kept wondering
what it was is he would walk funny, like really
low to the ground. It almost looked like, you know,
it almost looked like he was scared of walk, and
so I was like, what is going on with this
little guy? And then you realize, like on him, it's
either the reflection or what I noticed was it's the hardwood.

(28:58):
Because even in our kitchen, he wouldn't want to go
to the kitchen and we were like, what's going on.
We were like, maybe the oven freaked them out, like
the noise of the snakes or something. But then it's
it's the wood. So you know, now if you notice
now when I do halftimes and stuff, I have a
little rug.

Speaker 10 (29:14):
But it took me a while because I was like,
I didn't know, and I was.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Like, oh, maybe he's just like feeling the floor out,
or maybe it's like, you know, he's just getting comfortable.
But really, if I, like, I wish I would have
picked up that quicker, because then even the beginning, when
we put the rug out, he was like totally good.

Speaker 10 (29:31):
But you could see when he go to the edges
he like so you know, so it's just little things
like that that you gotta.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
That's the key with working with animals is you you
gotta Essentially, you gotta listen, but not verbally. You got
to listen with your eyes and obviously listen with with
their actions and take your time with them to know
what you know. And even when we work at the
Residency show in Vegas, it's funny because the crew always
has to know which dog I'm using because when I'm
using Percy, there's no carpet.

Speaker 10 (29:58):
When I'm using my Low got to put the cart So.

Speaker 9 (30:02):
I know you're being asked this many times, but I
wanted to. I wanted to check with you and for
you to tell us a story because we all know
that there was something going on there that uh, America's
got talent, right yeah, yeah, so you should have won
that show, you you know, but you were a finalist.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
But we'll let that slip. And how has that grown?

Speaker 9 (30:24):
Where is Christian Scooby now from tell us about the
beginnings of your your idea of working with the dog
and then going to the show and from where you
are now they're even doing bad bits, but now not
just halftime shows, not just basketball shows, but you're doing hockey,
you're doing NFL, you're doing MLS. I mean, it's unbelievable
that I'm happy that finally people are realizing what I

(30:47):
have known for a long time, that you're the best
show in town.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
But how do you how did that come about?

Speaker 10 (30:51):
Man? I? Well, thanks, Ran, Well, yeah, you know, really
it started.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
So I'm a fifth generation performer on my mom's side,
So my parents were performers when I was growing up,
so I learned everything as a kid, like I was
surrounded by jugglers and unicyclists and everything. So I can
I can unicycle, not Red Panda level, I can uticycle.
I again, you know, I can juggle, I can, you know,
do a little bit of everything. But I wanted a pet,

(31:18):
and since we were always traveling, we got my parents
got a Chihuawa because it was a small dog and
they were like, okay, this will be easy to travel with.

Speaker 10 (31:26):
And Scooby, that was the o G.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Scooby, So the original Scooby always would do this this
move with his pos you know, we would teach him
to sit to lay down little stuff in the house
and give him treats, and he did this thing when
he would sit up with his paws where he would
move him up and down and it was almost like
he was like begging us for the food. So we
started saying that that's We were like, that's how he
says please. So actually, even now the command for that

(31:49):
trick with us is pleased, like that's what I say.
I'll be like, oh, Percy, stay please, and that's what
he does. So it's evolved throughout the years. But anyway,
one time I was just laying on the floor or
on my stomach, like watching TV and my dad was
eating and Scooby sat on my back and started doing
the please, and my dad got the idea. He was like,

(32:10):
I want tomorrow when you go practice, because I was
already practicing handstands, It's like, why don't we take him
and we'll see if he does that while you do
your handstand trip or your horizontal And I was like,
all right, let's try it.

Speaker 10 (32:19):
So we took him and he did it. He didn't hesitate,
he did.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
It right away, so we gave him a treat and
then it just kind of was one of those things
where it was like, what else can we try to
come up with? And little by little, obviously it evolved
and then we created the act, the routine, which was
way more simpler than than it is now. But then
we got a chance to perform it. And then after
that obviously performed that for three or four years or
so I did. I actually did America's Got Talent when

(32:43):
I was fourteen. That was my first time on it.
And but then, yeah, you know, the saying goes people
run away to join the circus, I kind of did
the opposite.

Speaker 10 (32:52):
Ran away from the circus quote quote, I didn't actually
run away. I thought about it, but I never actually
did it. And I actually went to college.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I got my degree in broadcast journalism, and I kind
of stayed in shape throughout.

Speaker 10 (33:07):
I was recruited there to do like their circus program.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
And yeah, so I got my degree, and then shortly
after when I started doing halftime shows and America's Got Talent,
and Scooby was already getting older at this point. And
then obviously the act has evolved, and each each dog
that has worked with us is kind of like, you know,
brought their new trick. You know, Scooby didn't do the
trick where he walks on the basketball, but Percy, when

(33:32):
we were training with him, I remember I wasn't even
training at this on this particular day, but I had
him with me, and that some kid was like dribbling
in basketball and Percy was watching it. And then then
in the same gym there was another kid like walking
on top of this sphear ball, and I was like,
I wonder if he'd walk on the basketball.

Speaker 10 (33:49):
And that's kind of how I got that idea for
that trick.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
And then obviously that became kind of like Percy Staple
and now.

Speaker 10 (33:57):
Mylo does it, and then Mylot now that early he
always is playing.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
So I've got him like a set of sports balls,
like a baseball, basketball, football to play around with. And
he had a plush basketball and it was always squeaking,
and I was like, I wonder if I could do
any trick with a little plush basketball.

Speaker 10 (34:13):
And then he's the one that does the dunk. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Yeah, that's really that's what makes you Christian the best
in the league because just your athletic performance that alone,
I can do that, I can't do it, but other
than you, and not a lot of people can. Uh,
just that alone would be a great act. And then

(34:36):
having to do all the you know, having to train
the animal and then have have they ever not reacted?
Has have the dogs ever kind of froze up it
got stage freight or anything like.

Speaker 10 (34:47):
That, not that like froze up to where they've reacted.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
But in the beginning with Milow, like I said, I
would notice him very distracted with the with the floor,
and so that was something like a like that was
probably in my what's it been like now, probably like
fifteen years of working with chihuahua was the biggest hurdle
because I didn't like, I couldn't figure out what it was.

(35:12):
And so that time that I couldn't figure out what
it was, I was just thinking like, Oh, he'll get
over it, Oh he'll get used to it. And really
I wish I would have I mean, again, there's no
way of knowing, but I wish like if they would
have been able to speak, if they would have told
me from day one, I would have put in the
rug and then he almost wouldn't have.

Speaker 10 (35:28):
Had that like thought of it.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
So that was the only time where I feel like
he was I would say slow where he was kind
of like, you know, a little bit hesitant because he
would be nervous that he would be going to the
floor and so I was like, Okay, so now as
it's already been probably a year or so that I've
had the rug, he's way more relaxed now like now obviously,
But that took a while, and that was where I

(35:52):
was just like, hmm, that's what it was. So Other
than that, though, I mean the way we like quote
unquote train with him too. Like people will ask like
how many hours day or and I'm like hours, I'm
like no, way, Like at most I'll spend.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Like ten minutes, right, yeah, Wow, they get bored.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah, I mean the max I've spent with him, it
has probably been like twenty minutes practicing if that, because
it's just you know, like you want them to be
having fun and to treat it as a game.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
So can I send my dog to you because she's
a lunatic and I can't get her to do anything.

Speaker 9 (36:26):
I know you want to talk to Christian about his
broadcasting career, but we need to we need to post
ten seconds to let our affiliates identify themselves.

Speaker 11 (36:35):
This is jed Asman and you're listening to Wine and
Gold Radio yet Cleveland, Ohio, America, Macedonia, Turkey, istanbul All
Hurd let's get it, baby.

Speaker 9 (36:51):
You want to talk to Christian about his broadcasting career.
He does have an NBA broadcasting career. A.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
You're talking about the incident, Yeah, the Indian game. Oh yeah, right.
I wanted to ask you this earlier in that.

Speaker 9 (37:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Actually we have met once before and it was.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
It was in Denver too.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
No, no, it was in Indiana.

Speaker 9 (37:11):
No, no, no, but before he was acting in Denver
and you were like, dude, is that the guy sitting
next to you, next to guy with the dog?

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Right, we sitt right on top of the on top.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Of the well, the thing on one thing we always
laugh about with Rafa. Christian, you probably know this since
you know Rafa and that he's the guy who just
things happened to and people know. And one time he
gave a guy the Heimlich maneuver in the media room.
I mean, he's the guy things happened to. And one day,
so we're in Denver watching the game and all of
a sudden, I'm looking at Rafa and is it And

(37:39):
I'm like, isn't it the halftime dude?

Speaker 3 (37:42):
The next day the guy with the jualas it was.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
And then the next time we met it was in
Indiana and Larry Nance tipped in.

Speaker 9 (37:51):
The game winner, only game winner of his only game
winner of his career, and you were sitting right next
he were sitting right next to Rafa, So.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
You have some Christian ascal.

Speaker 9 (37:59):
He was in my eat my game up and the
whole the whole season because I used that highlight for
I'd use that play for the highlight and you can
hear he voys going rebound.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
You actually did the game with me that day.

Speaker 10 (38:13):
I did. I did the game that that day. Actually
I didn't perform halftime.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
You allowed me to run a game with you, and
I was still living in my college town, so I
did the like two and a half hour drive to
come hang out and call the game. And there was
a super great experience one that later, when I'm a
full time broadcast, I'll always I'll always remember and I'll
never forget that you gave me that opportunity because that

(38:37):
taught me exactly how fast the game moves. How you
know they always say, like when you're playing basketball and
you moving the ball, like the ball moves quicker than
the man, And I feel like the ball moves quicker
than your voice.

Speaker 10 (38:50):
When you're broadcasting it.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
It is so fast, and so that that was like
a big like slap in the face of reality of like, hey,
this career is like it's not just sitting there and
chat up some basketball, Like you got to be on
your like on your stuff here to know. And so yeah,
respect for Rafa with that, and I mean other broadcasters too,
because it's like you, like I said, it taught me
the art form to another level that I had an experience.

Speaker 9 (39:14):
I know you're a big time guy now in terms
of entertainment, but the cherry is always open for you
whenever you want to come into Hey.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
Well, I don't have any sources, but when the Vegas team.

Speaker 9 (39:25):
That one day, pitch for that job, man, pitch for
that and you can't have somebody else do the halftime show.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
But will you go down on the floor or you
guys could reverse roles? Yeah, oh you want me to
do the halftime show?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I'd like to say that.

Speaker 9 (39:38):
Hey, speaking of halftimes, you know we are we are
big promoters of halftime show halftime entertainment here and and
we're trying to get Adam Hines to get a monkey
somehow in some way, right, So what is your favorite
halftime show other than Christian and Scooby.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Ah, that's a good question. So I I'll say I've
seen her a lot, but I have respect I'll say
for entertainment for me person entertaining wise, I have the
most respect for Red Panda because how long she's done
it and how sweet of a person she is, and
the fact that she's you know, the experience because you know,

(40:20):
I wouldn't be doing it had not been for people
like her, had not been to.

Speaker 10 (40:24):
People like quick Change. So those people, there's got to
be a respect that us.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
I'm not even the young crew anymore, but us younger
generations got appreciate because if it's not for them, we
wouldn't be here. But entertainment wise, like, I don't like
that's a good question. I feel like there's probably you know,
anything acrobatic. Usually as an acrobat I want to see
just because that's like my like field.

Speaker 10 (40:51):
But also I mean, I'm you know, I don't mind.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
When it's like not let's say a performing act or
I should say, like a like an acrobatic act sometimes
when they have like singers or stuff like that, or
you know, even like before it was always and by
now like I mean, like I know him now, but
I did a gig with Simon says. I was like, yeah,
I was always like, this guy's just playing a child's game,

(41:14):
like you know, but there's a certain like he's like
a comedy in a way quick quick, so you kind
of learn to appreciate that kind of stuff. So I
don't have like one particular but when if you ask
me that, I guess the one I would say would
be just Red Panda, just out of pure respect.

Speaker 9 (41:29):
Of course, Red Panda the O g O halftime show
because people don't think that it wasn't the norm to
have an entertainment show during half right, like the quick
change was awesome. What about the new the new generation?
Do you like the I think it's the Bello brothers,
the brother sisters.

Speaker 10 (41:49):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I've seen them performing. They just did
a gt.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
SO, but they so they do a I think they're
they're good performers, but their act is a very like
it's a traditional circus act, like you know, hands hands,
hand to hand stuff, So I mean they're great at
what they do. I also seen this guy, I don't
know his name, but I saw it was on Twitter.
I don't think you guys maybe have seen him aet
either and I don't know if it's going to be

(42:15):
something that pops off.

Speaker 10 (42:16):
But he was juggling hats like and it was like
on the CBS broadcast and it was like and that too.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Like when I was a kid, there was an older
juggler at one of the circuses that I was at
that was juggling hats but like not like it was
like a sombrero hat.

Speaker 10 (42:34):
And it was like different, So I like different stuff.

Speaker 9 (42:37):
What about what about the brother I think their I
think their brother and sister that the skate over the
circle and they do something really like crazy yea swings,
I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Also there's dual transcend also who does that? And they
were also a g TV bore and there there a
wife and a husband too.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
You're the only show. You're the only show that I
approve of that I cannot air. I have to describe it.

Speaker 9 (43:02):
I'd like halftime show that I can actually air and
take a break during the during half.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
I want to back up just real quick too, because Christian,
you're you know, you're an animal expert and a halftime expert.
Can we eventually live our dream and see the monkey halftimes?

Speaker 3 (43:18):
They're a monkey show.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
This happened. Can we have a monkey halftime show?

Speaker 1 (43:23):
This can happen. We need Adam Hines to get whatever
he needs to do to get the chimpanzee over to
the Rocket Mortgage fieldhouse.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
See that's the we can't. We can't have a chimpanzee.
We already ruled that one out. I don't understand why,
because again I watched the movie Nope, and a chimpanzee
could attack at some point, like if there was that
blimp like in Oklahoma City and it got the chimpanzee.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Yeah, you get the guy from every every which way, but.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Love like Booby's not going to run into the crowd
and start ripping people out, but a chimpanzee could. So
no chimpanzees. But we're thinking like either a little monkey
or an orangutang like from any which way but loose.

Speaker 10 (44:05):
Maybe if we get a strong enough monkey, I can
do the role of Scooby on top of it.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Playing h're brainstorming here.

Speaker 9 (44:17):
He speaking of speaking of you being a broadcaster as well.
What you thought in the finals. Have you been happy
with the playoffs?

Speaker 1 (44:24):
And well, look, I've been very happy with the playoffs
because I'm a big fan of homegrown teams. I'm you
probably by now can kind of tell it for people
listening because you already know this raple, probably, but I'm
very old school, like I want to see the teams
do well that like drafted their guys. That's why like's,

(44:46):
that's why like, let's even though he left and came back,
but that's why lebronze championship in Cleveland is to this day,
I think the most special of all of his. That's
why derk Novinsky's championship is super special.

Speaker 10 (44:58):
So to me, I just think that I'm a big
fan of that.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
So when I see like a team like Denver who's
got jo Kischen Murray, guys they drafted, like, I'd like
to see that. And you know, so it just even
you know, Boston, like I would normally be rooting for
the Celtics because they're the same.

Speaker 10 (45:18):
They drafted Jalen Brown and they drafted Jason Tatum smart smart.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
But as a as a growing up a Raptors fan,
it was like in me to not like them because
we were in the same division. So I was, you know, like,
so the fact that the heat won, you know, I
like because it's also like I do like the Heat culture.

Speaker 10 (45:37):
Like I said, it's old school, you know, like nowadays.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
I was just thinking about it these some of these
young guys, Like I don't know how Heat culture is
gonna continue to evolve moving forward. When these guys I
feel like aren't gonna be okay with some of the
Heat culture stuff. Like it's like it's hard, like they
treated like a job like that, you know, like a
regular job. But obviously, as we know, a lot of
like in the players field, it's not uh, you know,

(46:00):
they're not treated like regular employees. And I feel like
the Heat do that, and that's why guys like Jimmy
Butler for as much as you know, that's why he
didn't work out, let's say in Minnesota, when he's surrounded
by certain guys that aren't gonna fit that culture. So yeah,
I'm very happy as a basketball fan. This is gonna
be great basketball. And that's what I feel like I

(46:22):
love to see, you know, Like obviously, like if the
Lakers at this point with the last four teams remaining,
it's all gonna be great basketball. But I do feel
like Lebron the Celtics, it was gonna be more overshadowed
by the headlines and and the stuff that's not basketball,
and here it is gonna be basketball.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Who do you think is gonna win the White Denver?

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Well, you're right on that though. I do think it
will be Denver. But I don't think it's gonna be
a quick series. I think Miami's gonna find like so,
I just think, you know, I could see it going
six or seven. But you know, I do think Game one,

(47:06):
obviously is the one. I want Denver to win the
most because we'll be there and I want to see
the crowd get going, and it's the first finals game
ever in Denver, so you know, and they've been waiting
nine days for this. So I just I think tonight
might be you know, I don't know. They haven't played
in nine days. Miami might be tired, So we'll see
how tonight goes. But Miami has a sneaky way of

(47:29):
taking game once. They've done it every series this this playoffs,
so we'll see. But I do think I would say,
oh man, I want to say Denver and let's go seven.
Let's make it dramatic Denver seven.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Hey, are you what are you wearing tonight? Joker or Murray.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
I have a Joker jersey with me just in case,
but I'm hoping they give me one of the new ones.
I asked, but you know they might be sold out
that We walked around town and uh, you know, the
finals Gears like all gone. People are exciting. They bought everything.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
I have to say. They have some of the coolest jerseys.
Then were does they do have cool jerseys?

Speaker 2 (48:10):
And I just have the visual of Christian and the
dogs walking around downtown Denver and they like celebrity carry
about to say it because you're like celebrities walking around
and be careful.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
With the muffings over there. Man, don't let Scooby have
a muff in there.

Speaker 10 (48:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, no, they gotta be careful. That might
be an extra ingredient.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
It'd be the greatest halftime show of all time.

Speaker 10 (48:35):
That would be the show. Freeze up.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Wow, man's gonna come in.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
School's gonna come walk in and in the back to
West on the front to Christian.

Speaker 2 (48:51):

game prep coming up. This is a big one tonight. Man.

Speaker 9 (49:18):

Tree impacting somewhere somewhere.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Impacting society in a positive way. And then another guy
who impacts society in a positive way just by being himself,
d Mac.

Speaker 9 (52:30):
One of the I was gonna say, who would that be? Demac, who,
by the way, the other day was they were you know,
my desk is near the the video group, which are
very creative. Yeah, and they were editing a video of
the night that Elliot castro Nevs came to the arena
and who was introduced as Eliostronova.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
That's a subject for a show.

Speaker 9 (52:55):
And that was the day they had the kid race
the toddler or the oh, the the baby and the
kids didn't move for you know, you know why.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I have a theory on this because they had the backtrack.
They had a baby race at halftime, and only one
baby actually move, moved and the one that won. And
I said, the problem with that was because the baby
started with d MAC. Instead they should have d MAX
at the flash line because what baby wouldn't crawl to
d MAC, right, So that was the problem that he

(53:25):
started with.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
I mean, only one baby running away from DMAT.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
So we have to take DMC. And then of course
the dynamic duo of Dirty Court and Marty hell And
might be the guy forget that is he in pickleball
season or is it off season? He's actually working with
drey Not and Rick Rihanna who are creating a pickleball league.
