Sports Radio, of course, presented by Express Prose. Now, yeah,
I'm reading this story more and I you know, I
hate when I what story the puppy who lost his way? No,
how does it end? The grufflo I'm reading. I don't
know what story Rich is read. There's a monster at

(01:46):
the end of this book. I'm reading more about Ryan
Garcia and the New York Mets, and I'll be honest,
I got you know, when you want to force yourself
to make it a opinion and like, I don't know,
I need more info. Well, the backstory here that the
general public, the Fox Sports Radio nation needs to know
is that Ryan Garcia appears to have lost his mind.

(02:10):
People don't know. People don't know if he's lost his mind,
he's punched, drunk, he's on drugs, or he's just trolling
everybody to sell this fight that's coming up this week. Yeah,
sometimes you could troll everyone by acting like, yo, did
he lose his mind? Is he going off the deep
end going on. He got married again? Did you see
that Covino? What dude, Yes, he's married. Yes. By the way,

(02:35):
Wan Soto just walked at the bases juiced. So the
Yankees pulling ahead of the Blue Jay. He walked to
load the bases. Oh no, wait ah, I thought the
bases were loaded. So anyway, Ryan Garcia appears to have
lost his mind. Okay, let me give you the time.
He's saying crazy things. Yesterday I saw him warming up

(02:55):
on the field, a city field, very excited to promote
the fight. And throughout the pitch you talked about old
school hip hop. Yeah, well, make like juvenile and back
that ass up for a second, because you're missing a
big part of the story. Back it up to earlier
in the day. They're promoting this fight, Devin Haney and
Ryan Garcia. You know, you know the fight they talked
about it yesterday. You know the fight that Kevito was

(03:17):
gonna force his father a lot to watch an Idaho
this week. Yeah right, I don't potato boxing party, can't wait.
We talked about this yesterday. It was kind of wild.
We got mash taters, we got Ill Grunton, we got
a they got into a tussle on top of the
Empire State Building promoting the Witches French Ruse So Empire
State Building, Little Face Off New York City Fun Vibe

(03:44):
the Fights on four to twenty. They get in each
other's face and Devin Haney straight up doesn't even mush him.
I thought at first it was a little mush action.
It was like it was like a push, but it
wasn't like a put your hand on the face of push.
Pretty much hit him in the face. Yeah, and Ryan
started screening. Ryan freaked out. Ran Garcia wanted to be

(04:05):
a little bit of a baby. He could be like,
I'm Pruven George. It really was like the Saltworthy because
if you listen back and you pull a little John
Boy action, Ryan's saying something about his mama. He says
something about his mama and talking about Haine's mom. I'm
pretty sure man, that's what I got out of it. Well,
he's talking about Haines's mom. Devin Haney does his best

(04:27):
like I'm gonna push Ryan Garcia almost off the Empire
State Building. So next stop on the promo tour with
your boy, Oscar de la Hoya is City Field. They're
gonna do some dual throw out the first pitch together
in promotion of the fight, and Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge

(04:48):
just hits a line drive down the line, balls and
no man's land. It might clear the bases. Bob Bashitt
don't know what to do with that man. Thank you,
Aaron Judge. Finally, guys batting on the Interstate Captain comes through. Well,
keep in mind, guys, this would have been their fourth
loss in a row, so I have reason to be
a little Also, keep in mind Coveno will be more
pleasant for the next hour now. Yeah, So Ryan Garcia

(05:11):
demon Haney fast forward Mets game because in an attempt
to promote this fight and the fact that there is
no love loss between these two guys, these two have
been going at it since they were little kids. They
were sort of tussling and staring each other down and
making Mets officials a little uneasy. Like think about it,
there's probably a bunch of weenies and women working in

(05:34):
the PR department. They're like, all right, guys, settled down.
They're like, we don't want a problem here. You guys
are here to just throw out the first pitch they met.
Steve Cohen the owner, they met some of the players,
and then as they're getting ready, I think there was
some odd jawing back and forth, and then Mets are like, guys,
we're just we're not doing this. And Ryan Garcia reacts

(05:54):
like this.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
The Mets just wasted three hours of our life to
say at the end, we can't throw the pitch for
whatever reason. There was no reason, and they kicked us
out for no reason. So everybody, I'm personally gonna say
the Mets, don't ever go to the Mets game again.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
He goes, I'm gonna expose the Mets, and he does.
He starts like tweeting all these things about the Mets.
He says, go Yankees, and by the way, mess up.
What's too exposed about the Mets. I'll expose it. They've
stunked my whole life. They gave me eighty six as
a kindergarten kid. He posted like every Mets controversy from
like Vince Coleman in the parking lot. Remember remember those

(06:30):
stories about Vince Coleman, fireworks and a fan. He posted
like every like controversial story about the What if this
is like a reverse curse?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
You know, like you know how they threw out the
goat for the Cubs and they and they had that
hundred whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Maybe this will be a reverse thing and they'll win this. Yeah,
the Mets are hot now they ride Garcia. They threw
it out. I don't know. I feel like the Mets
got a little nerdy with this, to be honest. I mean,
first of all, they're fighters, so hey, that might have
been fun. And to think that they can't conduct themselves
like professionals in that family type of atmosphere is also

(07:04):
kind of insulting, because look what just happened at the
Empire State Building. Devin Haney is not normally that type
of kid. He's a true professional here. He's a really
disciplined fighter. This is a family friendly event, and he
kicked them out. They wasted these guys on their promotional tour.
The Mets wasted three hours of their important time. They
could be training, they could be doing something else. I

(07:25):
think that was a week move by the Met if
you want to talk from a promotional standpoint, I think
the fact that this happened promoted the fight more because
if they didn't fight at the top of the Empire
State Building or get kicked out of City Field, I
don't think a lot of people even know they're fighting.
I know, and you know because we're fight fans. Yeah.
I think this is one of those where it's like, like,

(07:46):
did you even know Ryan Garcia was a city field?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Unless he said, f the Mets, I'm leaving, they probably
would have threw the baseballs at each other. That would
have been great.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Imagine that Ryan goes, how could you Mets? And he
tweets Vince Coleman. Right, he says, the Brett Sieberhiggen incident?
What's that? What did he do? I don't even know
ky Rod slugs it out.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
In the locker room, anything about Dwight Gooden, Bobby, the
Bobby Bonilla contract.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So he's exposing them. Now, you know, the whole thing
was sort of weird. I didn't know that Hany was involved.
What I thought was they caught him and d La
Hoya up to no good doing something weird, and you're like,
all right, guys, get out of here. I say, there's
a lot of rumors swirling around their lifestyle. Don't don't
let Lenny Dykstra know that people were talking about the Mets.

(08:34):
Imagine Lenny Dykstra now comes down, has a feudal Oh yeah,
oh my goodness, but yeah, that happened yesterday. So Garcia
was saying, f the Mets. If you missed it one
more time. I was saying, here's Ryan Garcia, his hatred
for the Mets.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
The Mets just waited three hours of our life to
say at the end, we can't throw the pitch for
whatever reason. There was no reason, and they kicks us
out for no reason. So everybody, I'm personally gonna say.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
The Mets don't ever go to Met's game again. I
think it's kind of messed up. You get someone there.
I get it. The Mets are trying to play it safe.
But hey, maybe Rich is right. Maybe this adds to
the promotion. So just a story about Ryan Garcia, and
it is interesting to think about, like, is he pulling
some sort of boxing Andy Kaufman here, is he pulling

(09:22):
some sort of maneuver where it's all in act because
he is really acting unhinged. It's an unhinged sort of
performance that this kid's been pulling for the past few
months to promote this fight. Now, another story Dan Byer
broke yesterday here on the show, and it was about
Applebee's and it's a hot Applebee's has partnered up with

(09:48):
the NFL. They're the official like mid level restaurant of
the NFL. I don't think they're calling it mid level restaurant,
but you know what, I think that's what it was,
the official mid level restaurant. And by the way, I
love itpple Bee's. By the way, when I go home
to Union, New Jersey to visit family and everything, it's
my uncle's number one spiy bait. Let's get involved tonight,

(10:09):
And I know he's gonna say apple Bee's cause it's
just that's the spot. Is this the same uncle that
doesn't know how to use a QR code and has
a flip fund. Well, I'm telling me you said that
text him on.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
So this makes us laugh because we have a host
here at the network, Brian know. He swears by Applebee's.
It's his favorite.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I like it too. I'll be honest, Listen, we grew up.
I'm not we're not playing too cool for these restaurants
because we grew up with all of them. Applebee's is
a good hang my favorite by far when it comes
to this sort of genre, this this particular type of
restaurant I worked at Bennigans for years. So Benigans was
and still is my favorite of all those. I like
Chili's appetite if you are too cool for any food

(10:51):
for that matter, like those who are our date spots, like,
I'm fascinated when people are too cool, like dude, I'm
good for a nice fast food, I'm good for a
super expensive restaurant, and I'm good for a mid level
chain restaurant. I mean, who are you you? You would
happen rich What happened after our generation when when the
Weienials started going out and they were legally drinking and

(11:12):
going on dates, they sort of abandoned those mid level
restaurants that we would go to, like a Friday's.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
I was gonna say, Fridays just shut down almost forty
of their location.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
And it makes sense because the generation younger than us
saw those as overpriced and lame, and they'd rather go
to some sort of local artsy Veng's ear type of
what would you call those type of restaurants spot like,
they would rather go to that or some high end
place like a local spot like well that's a coffee

(11:42):
shop fan goes here? Yeah, that type of scene. They
would rather have gone to that local type of spot,
or like an expensive spot, that mid level spot started
to be. Yeah, because kids place dating. Kids are like,
if I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go to a
sassy place on a date night, or I'm gonna just
like get grub Chipotle. By the way, Applebee's was named
yesterday the official grill of the NFL named the official grill.

(12:06):
And then there's another layer to this story.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
George Foreman must be upset now from the state of
California exactly.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
So, just recently here in California, they raised minimum wage
to all the fast food restaurants to twenty dollars. And
that's controversial in itself. Rich and I have debated this
on our Patreon. We have clips on it at Cavino
and Rich I thought it was kind of odd to
give twenty dollars for an entry level job. How do

(12:32):
you expect someone to live It's entry level, dude, it's
entry level, and that works. You're not meant to live
on entry level jobs. Minimum tim wage was created at
a minimum you could live. As a result, small businesses
go out of business and they raised the prices of
your hamburgers at McDonald's. And since they've raised the prices
at all these fast food restaurants. Now they're saying, kids

(12:55):
are more likely to say no to McDonald's, no to
In and Out, no to Carl's Junior, and yeah to Applebee's,
yes to Chili's, and yes to all these fridays and
mid level restaurants that we grew up loving again. So
it might be the resurgence and comeback. It's the return
of the Oh wait, no, wait, yeah, let's just say
what I think he did. Yes, it's the return of
the Apple. It's the return of the mid level. And

(13:16):
the one thing we could agree on with the minimum
wage and the race is that if you are going
to increase minimum wage and fast food places are jacking
up their prices. I was saying the other day, said
he can't go to Taco Bell and get all his
fixings for less than twenty bucks. You, I guess, choose
not to gorge. I could. I could eat like a
reasonable person and have you know healthy places the.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Menu items have gone up, yes they have, But you
want something all a card, it's eight dollars.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I go to Chipotle, I always say for my wife
and I for the two of us, two burrito balls
and a sot of chips and Guaucus thirty five dollars
easy you go to you go to like five Guys Burgers,
people will say alone if you get yourself like a
twenty five Bucks by yourself, if you get a double
double on fries and a drink, it's twenty so on
the Bucks. So what people are doing and it makes sense.
It's not the sassy restaurant. Covino brings it up and

(14:05):
you're seeing it now. We might have the resurgence of
that mid level restaurant from our teenage twenty year old
years when we would take a girl to Fridays. What
the thinking is, if I'm gonna pay twenty five dollars
for two burgers, I might as well go to Applebee's.
I might as well go to Beginninggains. I might as
well go to Chili's. Because fast food prices are now

(14:25):
approaching the prices of those mid level restaurants, especially if
Chili's or Applebee's or Benigans or Hula Hans. If they're saying, hey,
we have a happy hour special and our happy hour
special has like five dollars apps, people are gonna go
there and say, what damn, I'm gonna. I'm going back
to Fridays, going back to shitt And by the way,
if you had to name your top few items off

(14:47):
of those mid level restaurant the Jack sauce at TJA Fridays, Oh,
Jack Daniels Jack, the Jack Daniel sauce. By the way,
Friday's also has good frozen margarita's, the seasoned fries at
Red Robin. I feel like Danny J. I feel like
every time I've gone to Red Robin, it's been followed
up with a terrible bathroom, visitors saying it's so true.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Look at they just signed a contract Red Robin. H
you just said Chili's.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
How dare you? I like?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I like it too? I don't like myself. Twenty five
minutes later, do you know how Boys to Men redid
the Baby Back's ribs song? Yes, Boys to Men just recently,
so that don't add to the hype again, But Danny
J mentioned Chili's. Danny, they have like a caso dip?
What is it like a fundato caso dip? That's fantastic,
Dan Buyer, What is your go to on those.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
It's you were talking about Chili's They took off the
original chicken crispers.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
From their menu from a year ago, and there was
an entire outrage for it.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
I know, the baby back is more of the like
the standing thing in their chips and salsa, but the
original chicken crispers from Chili were It's the only thing
I would get the Southwest.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I got it well for years, guys. I worked before
I got into radio, and I would tell all the customers.
I would tell my colleagues, I can't wait to leave
this place. You could all kiss my ass. Tell me
a radio star like whatever, you got to pick up
a table nine. So I worked at Bennigans for years.
I worked at Benigans. I bartended at Bennigan's in Springfield,
New Jersey. It's no longer there, but Bennigan's does still exist,

(16:29):
not as many as there used to be because again
a lot of these went away. Coming back though. The
Turkey o tool was the ultimate you know what turkey
sandwich with the honey mustard on the pretzel roll. The
pretzel rolls spot I believe was it Swiss and Turkey? Yeah,
Swiss and Turkey on that pretzel roll with that so
with that honey mustard, the monte Cristo was famous, but

(16:52):
it wasn't my favorite. I used to Yeah, I was
very famous, and I used to The sampler was famous
at Benigan's, and I used to always eat the Health
Club chicken platter, but their honey mustard was to die for.
So again, if you just joined us the fast food prices,
it joined us. It's Fat Guy Radio. We're talking about food.
Welcome the Fat Guy Radio. Everybody. Uh, fast foods have

(17:15):
hiked the prices up to offset the minimum wage of
twenty dollars. So casual dining chains like Chili's and Applebee's,
they're saying are going to reap the benefits. And it
just coincides, coincidentally with the big announcement yesterday that Applebee's
was named the official grill of the NFL. Apple Bee's
the go to casual dining destination for game day. And

(17:38):
it's kind of cool because again, it's like Bulby by
the Way game when I play, Yeah, and I figured
you want to see right tribute Yankees Way. So I
was kind of cool to see our teenage years, our
childhood places sort of come back. Yeah, because the prices

(17:59):
aren't going to be that differ than fast food.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Price like you can get a look at a Friday,
you can get a basic cheeseburger with fries for dude,
and that's like regular price. I imagine there's happy hour
in Woodland Mills. They shut our Fridays down.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, that's yeah. But again, if this is a trend
and we start jacking up these prices at Taco Bell
and and and in and out, this is gonna come
back and that and that NFL announcement was peculiar, but
that'll bring more people back to these restaurants a.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
Whole On a second, isn't that just the isn't that
just Applebee's paying the NFL bowtload of money to say, yeah,
we're the official grill pretty much. But the promotion, Yeah, yeah,
I didn't see the connection at all. There'll there will
always be some advertisement running. It's like these cleats are
the official cleats to the NFL. This gum is Big
Red is the official gum or the NFL is an

(18:57):
official ladder of the ncaatment.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, yeah, Dan Bayer. When you made that announcement yesterday, though,
I was like, well what is that? I really did think, well,
what does that mean? It's just they've entered a multi
year partnership agreement designating Applebee's as the official grill and
bar of the NFL.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
But I wonder if this will bring those businesses back,
because I also saw that Red Lobster is gonna they're
on the brink of declaring bankruptcy.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yes, I saw that.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
So some of these mid level places like Friday, it's
got a whole Friday a bit longer.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, exactly are there is Olive Garden half a step up?
I think it's I think it's along there. It's just
that brand. It's just a challenge like Boston Market. I
think it's like, you know, it's a step food also
fall out of times Boston markets market back. Just the
Boston Market isn't that same category as Panera bread where
you bring the number to your table, like it's that

(19:50):
in between.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
I read an article that recently about Boston Market that
at the start of twenty twenty three, they had three
hundred locations across the country.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
They're down to like twenty seven. Sad. Yeah, dude, yeah,
that's sad. So everybody's going to Applebee's. That's why. Okay, okay.
Based on the announcement, right, Dan and Fox Sports Radio Nation.
Who wins the mid level restaurant Wars? When all said
and done, we know Taco Bell wins the fast food
wars in the future. According to demolition Man, who wins

(20:21):
the mid level restaurant Wars Applebee's with the momentum of
the NFL Chili's. Does Fridays make a comeback? Does Peegans
come back from the woodwork? Correct me? I mean I
could be wrong. In fact, I'm usually wrong, So there's
a good chance of this with's here. I think Applebee's
and then in the prime of all those restaurants, when
I say nineties, early two thousandday Fuckers, Foot, Rutgers, Hula Hands,

(20:43):
I mean my.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Sister Rutgers was a step down, kind of like Boston Market.
Now I BJS is in like thirty States.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yes, that's something. Oh but that's house House House, Okay, Brewhouse,
go ahead, rich. My thought was back then. I don't
know why I thought TGI Fridays was the benchmark. I
don't know why. I feel like it was good. I'm
with you. I thought that was like one it was
coming wrong when you look back at the day, I
was all like, I loved Applebee's and Hula Hands, and

(21:10):
all the others. But I thought Fridays was sort of
like the thing. And you're right, they have a pretty
decent menu, and you would take a date there. That
was what we did.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Rich's point about the Jack Daniel sauce was, I wouldn't
get the Jack Daniel sesame strips for the advertiser and
the chicken breast Jack Daniels.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
For the meal. Yeah, and you would drink it by
the glassy seriously, do shots of it. And they had
this sweaty like margarita thing frozen. I don't know what
that was, but it was not a magical like a
Texas roadhouse.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
No Riches, that's a little step up because rich is
a good cuts of meat. On Friday nights, Fridays would
bring a DJ in and people would start dancing by
the bar. So Fridays was so popular they try to
turn it into a little club at the end of
the Friday night there.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
That's so funny. Hey, you know what, If anything, it's
just a good reminder some of these places were very
important to our childhood and then our back teen in
twenty years when you were going on your first dates.
Because fast food is getting so expensive, we might see
the re emergence of the sit down mid level restaurant,
the Applebee's, Friday's Chili's of your Life. Now coming up,
we're gonna do midweek major What stories are we missing?

this NFL season and some Fridays, go to the go

(24:59):
to Fridays, get a like an old school fattening mud
slide and some cheese sticks. I'm always seeing what I'm
always confused by Bourbon Street Steak's twenty dollars and fifty
nine cents. See you're spending more at five Guys.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Jazzed up with Cajun spices and buttery garlic and parsley
serve with sizzling and sauted mushrooms, onions and garlic mashed potato.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
For twenty dollars. We gotta go. We just looked it up.
There's one in Northridge. We should have a show dinner there.
We should, you know, after we take them Bayer to Hibachi. Yeah,
we gotta do that before any other hang we do.
We do now before we get into midwek Major. There's
one restaurant in that world. My instinct is it's one
step above. Okay, but it might be my favorite. You could,

(25:43):
you could say it's a step above yard House. Definitely
a step above. Yeah, it's a fancy five. I really
enjoy use you're you're duped by decor. It's Fridays with
like sleek decor. That's what I'm saying. I'm glad you
said that, because in my mind, I'm like, is Yardhouse nicer?
They like the Tacos exact thing?

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I don't know that TB yard House. Is it next
level or not?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Really?

Speaker 4 (26:08):
I think it is like when I think of Fridays,
I think nineties, two thousands and yeah, because of it
decre you know Yardhouse, and that yard House feels at sleeker.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I could take you to a yard House and serve
you everything off the Friday's menu and you would think
it was fans.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
This is where I disagree, though, because it is the time,
like you can't get a flatbread at TGI Friday's, right.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
You can get you can't get nice uh fish tacos
it yeah Fridays like you. When was the last time
you look at the Friday's menu? Better? Yeah? When the
last time you were there? Good years went off? The
one eighteen in Porter Ranch there is yeah after Sorry,
sorry we made you guys hungry. Let's love in fact,
let's play midwek major, Come.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
On, Covino and Rich, get you over the Middle of
the week where mid Week major Major. I love that
we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Says week definitely major. See it our scoring Midweek major.
Ahah yo, I recognize that you the guy that DJ'd
at Friday's in early two thousand.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
I did Moonlight there as a DJ. All right, Uh
you hear the horns. That means you've made it to
the middle of the week. Before we hand things over
to the number one and only host segment, let's roll
those big red love dice in the main studio.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
All right, This is to see who gets first first take. Sorry, yeah,
I think I got it. I just rolled it, all right,
I go first, Cavino first, and now.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Ladies and gentlemen. The most famous person from Scotch Plains
New Jersey besides Judy Bluem true spotty boy. There's a
whole list of people. By the way, now, I think
it's just a whole list of people. Just take all right.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
ESPN's Draft Knight coverage is getting a new edition in
the form of legendary coach Bill Belichick.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
You appeared on Pat McAfee's show today and McAfee announced
that he, McAfee and Belichick will be hosting Draft Knight
coverage for ESPN next Thursday, April twenty fifth. Belichick's's he's
looking forward to seeing it from the other side, and
it'll be fun to.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Be in Detroit. I think that's out of that. So
we'll see how the the personalities work together or clash.
Been week or major? Oh, when you sit a new addition,
I thought you had enough date on Bobby be Sorry,
so you had an update on Johnny Gill. No good one.
I think this is major. I think it's wow because
we all wondered where he'd end up. Right, speculation about

(28:45):
the Eagles we heard about just today and you know,
where's Bill belichicking end up? And I don't know Draft
Knight coverage on the other side of it, it's kind
of cool. I don't think he's going to be very
good at it. I don't unless we see a completely
different side of him. Well, I agree with Kevino, but
I do think maybe maybe he leans into it, Maybe
he goes sleeveless like McAfee and we see some some

(29:09):
different side. Imagine the whole time Belchick's standing up with
no sleeves and he pulls a McAfee. Major in that alone,
because there's major intrigue on. Hey, are we gonna see
a different sign that we always wondered about? But you
know what, can we know Bill Belichick, who has has
been on the other side, like you said, for the
last twenty plus year, thirty years, forty he's been in
football since our childhood. It's good. It might be interesting

(29:32):
to see his perspective, like what are teams doing right now?
He'll have a little additional perspective. I think it's really
cool still mid but I like it all right.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Caitlin Clark's Rocky contract getting a lot of buzz this week,
have lot of hype.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, people don't understand economics. That's everyone's weighing in on it,
including all the way up at the top. President Joe
Biden tweeted, and or what is it xt? I don't
know he x he xed, and I quote.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Women in sports continue to push new boundaries, but right
now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women
are not paid their fair share. It's time to give
our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure
women are paid what they deserve.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
The President not understand economics. He didn't seems mention the WNBA,
but everyone knows that that's what he's talking about. It's
major because it's the president responding to the Caitlin Clark stories.
That's an idiot on the view. What is going on?
What doesn't he understand about? Well, you gotta fill the seats,
you gotta sell tickets, you gotta boost the ratings. There's

(30:31):
a reason when ben Yama's making what he makes because
he sells tickets, he puts asses in the seats, TV contract,
he has sponsorships. Yeah, he's creating revenue for the NBA.
Once the WNBA can prove that they could do that,
then she'll get a bigger contract. I mean, that's just
how it works. It doesn't make sense, man, I don't

(30:51):
understand why anyone's man about it. I'm rooting for women's
sports as hard as anyone. Yeah, of course, you know,
I think it's a great thing. But we do have
to remember it's basic economics, and you know what it's like.
I'll give you the analogy. Remember when twinkies were taking
off the shelves and like, we're discontinuing twinkies and everyone's like,
what do you mean you can't do that? And then
you asked the person what was the last time he

(31:12):
had a twinkie? I bought one and they were like, oh,
I don't know. Like as a kid, Well, if you
haven't supported it, why you mad if it's going away?
If you've never watched the game, been to a game,
bought a w NBA jersey, or did any of that,
how can you say anything? Support these women and do
the right thing and they'll get you about it? All right?
Absolutely great? All right, nearly. I'm gonna say major because

(31:35):
Joe Biden is a knucklehead. If he's saying that, I mean,
clearly the guy doesn't understand economics. I'll just leave it.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Theres frea economics, right, all right. Newly retired Jason Kelce
has lost his Super Bowl ring in the most Kelsey fashion.
So during a live broadcast of their New Heights podcast
last week, there was an event that it was in Cincinnati,
so it evolved a huge vat of Cincinnati, you know
the Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Three Way, which has to do with chili rich three
Way please.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
In the vat was a sock with championship accessories, some
fake rings, but Kelsey's actual ring was mixed in with
the chili. So students had to jump in and like
find all this stuff despite their past double deer, yeah,
like double deer.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
They couldn't find They couldn't find the ring. They even
brought in a metal detector to try and find it.
No one found it and everything has since been thrown out.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
So Kelsey revealed on the podcast He's like, yeah, I
think I think it's just in the trash somewhere. His
brother called him an imbecile and f an imbecile, So yeah,
his ring's officially gone. He's like, maybe I'll have another
one made if it's possible.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Who knows. Midweeker major, it's major it's your super Bowl ring,
his only super Bowl ring, his twenty seventeen super Bowl ring.
They can't find it. They did find an orange flag, though,
which is ironic. I'll get it, but I mean, how
careless could you be? Don Sunday flot List? Could you be?

(33:01):
And He's gonna go to his insurance as a result,
he said, And Travis was like, well, I don't know
if that's gonna work when you're admitting how you lost it.
He's like no, because I knew where it was, and
it doesn't matter where I put it. I knew where
it was. We just can't find someone has you know
what It reminds me, He's saying, I don't reminder, remember

(33:21):
that time you found a finger with a ring on
it in your hot dog? Yes? Oh wait, no, that
was naked gun. But by the way, I'm not interested anymore.
I just found out a Cincinnati three way is with
March shot and chrisba I'm out, No, it's.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
With chili spaghetti, and that's that's skyline Chili isn't it's
a Cincinnati three And it was.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
A giant vat and his ring was lost in there somehow,
and it's ridiculous. I'm gonna think that's so mid made
to lose, like one of your prize possession, it could
be replaced. I lost my wedding ring. I'm not devastated
about it. My wife lost her to Spot lost his
in the the GNC, but not a GENC, the actual

(34:03):
GNC in Greece. I was like, Spot, no, you're buying creatine.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Well, you know what can't be replaced, the one and
only damn buyer. Let's hit up DC for an update.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Hey dB, thank you very much, guys, and uh, there's
a reason why three way you knows, Uh, we'll stay
away from Cincinnati and everything that comes with it. I
had a way not always the navigation ones in Cincinnati
when I landed, take me, and the direction was, now

(34:33):
take the ferry across the river. That's my lasting memory
of Cincinnati today in Toronto, guys.

Speaker 9 (34:38):
Genio at second, three to two runners go the pitch
line on the ground, past the diving of Clement into
left field. It kicks off the sidewalk. One run scores,
two run score. Stopping at third is Soto. Judgees given
the Yankees the lead and the top of the ninth
a two run single for the captain and the Yankees
or I had six.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
To four, they would win by that score on the
Yankee the Radio network. Elsewhere, on a busy day in baseball,
the Nationals top the Dodgers to nothing. Royals took game
one of a doubleheader against the White Sox four two.
But they're playing right now in the sixth then Chicago's
up won nothing in that contest. Rangers best of the
Tigers five to four. Braves needed ten to got past
the Astro, sweeping that series five to four. Giants three

(35:18):
Marlins won. Rich Is Mets top the Pirates nine one,
Brewers playing the Padres one nothing, and in Baltimore one
two pitch, five ball right field.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
This one is way up there, kill up looking at
back Centric village to red walk up and the Orioles
so I.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Bet against Minnesota wbal and the Orioles Radio network comes one.
In Arizona five to three. Mariners dropped the Reds five
to one. In the A's doubled up the Cardinals sixty
three hoops. Tonight Heaton six Ers seven Eastern Hawks and
Bulls nine thirty Eastern Time Raptor center Johntay Porter banned
for life for violating the NBA's rules on gambling. Pelicans
forward Zion Williamson's been ruled out of their playing game Friday,

(35:55):
and we'll miss two weeks because of a hamstring strain. Finally,
Champions League Barron Munich can re al Madrid onto the
semi finals.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Guys, back to you, thank you, damn byer by the
way to know your Al East. I think is gonna
be really exciting this year. Baltimore and the Yankees are
both really good. Yeah, and don't discount Tampa, who's always
in the mix for some reason. No matter what they do,
they they find a way to be The Blue Jays
play them, and the Jays are over five hundred and
their I mean, while the Yankees lost their first series
against them. Yeah, look at them. So all right. Well,

just not flashy, but they win. They get the job done,

(38:16):

they're the best and you gotta love that. Speaking facts,

That might be a little step up. I like you
think it's a little Their happy hour is amazing. And
they got those TV dinners let's go. Oh yeah, yeah
they I've never bought one of those. Yeah, now they're great.
We talked about Ryan Garcia, we talked about the NBA,
we talked about Jamal Murray and yo kids. We talked
about it all, but we didn't talk about the story

(40:39):
that I thought was fake. And I'm like, yo, you
for real, Danny G. I'm pretty sure you said this
to me too. The woman who took her dead relative
in the bank to try to sign off on a loan.
I saw that. That's real. That's not it was life
imitating art. It was straight up weekend at Bernie's. He
could not believe that the Berties too right when they

(41:02):
went to the bank, by the way, for only thirty
four hundred dollars. Though, so imagine taking that risk, wheeling
in it. That's any in Brazil. I get it, but
it's not thirty four thousand, like you're really taking a
major risk. You're wheeling in a dead guy. I kept
trying to be like, no, he's alive, Like he's just
not making any facial she was saying.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
I was like, you know, he's alive. Uncle, Are you listening, Uncle,
are you listening? And she puts the pen in his
hand for him to sign off a loan orbid. Yeah,
it's really weird. It's a real story. By the way,
she should have put sunglasses on him. She should have
put sunglasses on this little pulley system like we get
the birdie's with the arms. The bank teller and this
was in Brazil, by the way, the bank teller was saying,
he doesn't look right. Yeah, no, he's always like that.

(41:44):
He's so cold. He keeps falling back. Yeah, the neck.
She's like, uncle, if you don't sit up straight, I'm
gonna have to take you to the hospital. Too late.
The guy's dead already, and you should go to the hospital. Yeah,
she knows he's dead. By the way, if you don't
know the story, this woman wheeled in is dead guy
so that he could he could sign off on some
money for her. So wild, I can't even believe it's

(42:06):
a real story. She's going to be charged for fraud, embezzlement,
and theft. Yeah, theft of the weekend in Bernie's movie script.
Bernie's tooty too, but yeah, you know what, we got
to get out of here. So I don't think this
time for Super receed because that guy does his own show.
He's gonna go on for more than super thirty second.

(42:26):
