(00:22):
Let's get into this NBA last night, what was the
big takeaway? Lakers won a close one. Zion the Bummers
that he is what big takeaway ruled out for Friday?
That the Lakers are three and zero play ins right,
Golden State Warriors are zero to three. Draymond Green is
sort of torn on how to feel about the whole
thing I saw on his podcast. He's like, he hates

(00:46):
the play ins, but at the same time he thinks
it's great for basketball.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I love it, but I hate it.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, but I hate kind of like medieval times.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I love it, but I hate it because the food sucks.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I love it, but I hate it, is what he said,
and I think the takeaway is, Yeah, the Lakers move on,
but we might have seen might have seen the end
of a dynasty, end of an era, the end of
the core. The group of the Olden State Warriors. But
if you listen to what Steph said at the press conference,
it didn't necessarily seem like he thought it was over

(01:18):
or that he wanted it to be over. It seemed
like he wanted to, you know, run it back with
the same guys. He didn't make it clear and concise
that that's what he wanted, but that's what I got
from it.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
That was my takeaway.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
The takeaway according to social media is hey, Klay Thompson
should get ready to play in China.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
He's done. He was oh for ten, oh for six
when it came to three point.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Shots, and he's not the same clay that we knew,
So he's done.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
That was the sentiment on social media.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
But again according to Curry and the press conference and
everything else, it seems like he wants to go back
with his guys, but they appeared to be have done unless.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
They rebuild around them. Like we discussed yesterday.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, he was over ten overall, zero points, and Charles
Barkley said sports is not for old people, as he
was grilling them.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's it's a young guys game. Much like the rap game.
We always say, you know, you sort of play yourself out.
Everybody has an expiration date in sports, it's a little
sooner than everywhere else.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now, the crazy part is Zion they're saying hamstring. Yeah,
he's out on Friday.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Not only out on Friday, they're saying around two weeks,
but because they extend and really stretch the hell out
of these playoffs, could be back for a game five.
Now I'm looking May second is a Thursday. May first,
the first of the month is two weeks from today,
and it looks like whoever gets that final seed would

(02:49):
be playing the Thunder in a possible game five.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Danny G how pump were you last night watching that game? Nervous?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
No, it was a very interesting game because it almost
looked like the Lakers started to get bored towards the
end of the third quarter. They had an eighteen point lead.
It's like they were playing with their food a little bit.
And then Zion got super hot and obviously dropped the
forty before he got hurt, and so then the Lakers
had to scramble there at the end, and that big
three pointer from d lo uh that was beautiful to watch.

(03:19):
But yeah, the Lakers have had the Pelicans number, and
there there was some questionable coaching on the Pelican side
that I've seen some people shouting about on social media.
But now your reward is, hey, you get to fly
to Denver.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And by the way, you should have saw it earlier today,
you know, Rich and I do a Patreon before we
come here. On Fox Sports Radio, Rich was wearing a
Lakers T shirt like a front runner.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Today like it. In his defense, I've never never heard
him chair on the New York Knicks before.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
We were just messing with him though.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, no, no, listen, I'm not claiming to be a
Lakers fan, but I don't really.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's odd.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I make fun of could know for not having an
NFL team, because I think that's more peculiar.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
But I never liked the Knicks.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
When my friends were all like, yeah, you Ing and
Starks and Anthony Mason, I just didn't love that team.
I was I was watching Barkley or you know, you
were in a big Latrell spree.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Well, guy, there were guys I liked.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh those nineties Knicks teams were so fun to watch too.
That that's surprising some badass teams.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Over here on the West Side, we were admiring the
Knicks back then they were cool for sure, tough, tough team.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, I just I never gravitated towards the Knicks.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Anthony Mason and Grandmama.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, Anthony Mason, I.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Was rocking a Laker shirt earlier, and yeah, they were
busting my chops a little bit. I think you could
say you're pulling for someone and be like, well, I'm
not a fan fan.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I mean, I think that's fair.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, it was nice that the Pelicans turned it into
an exciting game there at the end. And then of
course the Sacramento Kings did the same thing in their
game as the Lakers did in the first half. They
pulled away and the Warriors could never quite get back in,
and they went away from a couple of their shooters,
which I thought was interesting. And they did a great

(05:09):
job defending well, Clay couldn't hit anything, but they did
a great job defending Curry.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, and I think that's the takeaway. Richie asked, what
was the takeaway Lakers move on? Pelicans made it closer
than it should have been at the end, and the
Warriors are done and there's a lot of question marks there.
Are they really done or are they just done right now?
And It's wild to see how players could so quickly
fall off if they're not healthy. You know, yeah, I
think that's also the takeaway k Thompson walk off like that.

(05:38):
It's just it's sort of sad. But there's a party
that wonders. I wondered listening to stuff talk. Does is
he saying all the right things right now? Or does
he really believe that if they're all healthy, they could
run it back? And how cool would it be if
you have no team in the race. How would it
be to see a team come back like that, healthy
and win again? You know, are they done?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Really done? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It was fun watching Kaminga and it was Jackson Davis.
I was thinking about him, like the Warriors need to
go back to him.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Man. You know what it's like.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
If the Pelicans win the playing game on Friday, like
the Pelicans without Zion, I mean, yeah, Ingram and McCollum.
They got other you know, they have other, a couple
other fun guys to watch, but the them winning would
be like you know, when your team is in the
postseason but then they lose their star and it's like, well, it'sn't.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Even worth it anymore. Yeah, No, it's the worst.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
But if he comes back, like you said, in a
few weeks, I thought they were going to revaluate him.
That's what I thought that in two weeks a little real.
But you know what, do you think he's trying to
get back asap. I mean, that's why I wouldn't count
him out. Yeah, they might not even make a game five.
But two weeks from today, just for the record, would
be whoever wins the playing game on Friday, the eight
seed would be playing the Thunder. Yeah, two weeks from

(06:56):
today Wednesday, May first. So if you're saying two weeks
he's being a you evaluated, then that's just in time
for a game five.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Maybe they're hanging in there.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
And the excitement continues tonight, or you may say the
lack of excitement based on the teams that are that
are competing. He's a good game with the Sixers, Hawks, Bulls,
some good stuff to look forward to, and of course
there's some baseball that excites me as well.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
The Yankees.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
If they lose today four in a row, which is
leame is Anabolis and your Mets have completely turned it around.
They're flipping the script. Yeah, playing really well. So you
got some great basketball, you got baseball.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
You were the one.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
You got a great fight this weekend. It's a good
time for sports. You were the one that told me,
don't panic, it's still early. And since you said that,
your team started stinking of mine started winning.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Now I do want to talk.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I have a baseball thought for you a little bit,
but I want to talk about this duo thing that
you and Danny g sent me. Well, I like the confidence.
It's not confidence, there's some truth to it. I mean,
we're talking about ultimate competitors. Jamal Murray believes that when
it comes to duos, that he and the Joker are

(08:12):
the best pair in the league, better than Damian Lillard
and Giannis, better than Lebron and Anthony Davis, better than
Luca and Kyrie.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I think we're the best duos what he says.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I think they're in a bigger market and people have
more interest in Lebron and a d in La or
what Dame and Giannis could be, or what Luca and
Kyrie could do.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
If we're talking about the best duos.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Getting the job done and how they play for each
other and with each other, I think me and Jokich
are undoubtedly number one, and you say confidence. I say
the proof is in the pudding. Proof is in the playoffs,
proof is in the championships. Proof is in the results,

(08:58):
special teams, special A, special players. Yes, brother, So I
think the proof is there. I don't think he's talking
just out of confidence. I think he's talking out of facts.
But there's something really or less exciting about them. And
like Danny G pointed out, it's like we talked about
last year. I was like, what the jokers boring? And

(09:23):
you know what a real down you know, a real
NBA fan would be like, you're just stupid, and uh,
you know you don't appreciate good basketball. I'm just saying, like,
does flash we're talking flash? Boring is the wrong word.
It's it's they don't really play. I'll take fundamentals over
flash any day if the results mean, you know, a championship,
of course. But I think that's why if you're going

(09:44):
to try to figure out why it's everything he said.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
He reminds me of Tim Duncan. I thought Duncan was
a boring player. What do they call it?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Fundamental? There's no fun in fund that.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
But it's like I wasn't excited to go turn the
game on when he was playing right.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Right, the contrary to what you might think, you're right,
there is no fun in fundamentals unless it's your team
and they're winning exactly, But there's again truth to be told.
He makes a point when he's saying, hey, they're big
market teams, but the one part he left out is
and we're not as exciting to watch for whatever reason. Right,
So based on that, and you could debate that in itself,

(10:25):
you have any thoughts on that, because they are really
underrated when you think about it. Yeah, when you think
of duos, you'll name like four or five other duos
before you name the actual ones that win, and Jamal
Murray and the Joker are probably the number one duo
that there's some truth to.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
That, but I mean in basketball circles, they've been getting
their praise and even of course even last night at
the podium, Lebron was just glowing about them. He said
that they're the defending champions. They know how to win. Yeah,
he said, they've been extremely dominant on their home floor.
They've got an m v P on their team, they've
got a closer on their team, they got high level players,

(11:05):
high I Q players and they've got a hell of
a coach.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
But even though rated Danny G still underrated, well, I
mean jokers about to win another m v P. They
did a little little, quick, little quick poll from some
of the voters and they're like, I'm like, very likely,
more than likely that wins the m v P again,
which would make him a three time winner, which is

(11:28):
putting him again in in more and more rare company,
a lead company. So remember he should have won that
year embiid one God boring. Boring is the wrong word
because I don't want to be the I don't want
to be the bird brain.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
It's not boring to dominate.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's not as uh flashy, not as prime time, not
as big time.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's it's definable, but not because I don't want to
be that dope.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
That's just not as flashy. They're boring.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
That's a that's a lame that's a lame answer. I
think it has to do with the flash, I really do.
I think, like, uh, stick with that. They're just not
as flashy, that's all. And I know, flesh, it's just
an observation because we could say, hey, flash doesn't matter
as long as they're winning, we.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Get all that.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
But based on what Jamal Murray's saying, you got all
these big names, big markets, big duos, and they may
be overlooked and they're the best. Based on that, are
there other underrated duos that come to mind? And by
the way, think of the flash sometimes flash we always
say about fajitas. You go to a Mexican restaurant. You
look up, someone's some waiters carrying a sizzling plate. That sizzle,

(12:39):
that flash gets all the attention. Everybody's like, I'll be honest,
anytime I've ever ordered fahetas, I'm like, that was all right.
That was a mediocre I'm telling you. Sometimes sometimes it's
all flash, no substance.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
And you're right. You rather the quote no flash boring
nuggets rather the substance. Right, So we'll get that one.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
There's no question, especially you know, when we're talking about
winning and competing in sports. But based on that, who
comes to mind as far as underrated duos?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
A It could be I don't know a particular radio duo,
Oh no, I have a you're thinking of you?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I want it could be anybody, but it could be
Mongrel and Bart in the mornings. It could be on TV,
it could be in sports, it could be anywhere. It
could be in cartoons.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't care. It could be anything. Maybe like I'll
give you one.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Like people love to talk about The Simpsons run, people
love to talk about Man.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
South Park really pushed the envelope. They're the best. I
always thought Beavis and butt Head were funnier than all.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Of them, and I think we saw some of that
on You're Gonna Put Beams in Buttet.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I always thought as an underrated.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Due I think they were properly read epitome of pushing
the envelope at that time. I think when you said
South Park, I you're gonna say Trey Parker and Matt
Stone underrated. I think everything they do is gold. Why
do you think SNL went so viral this past weekend
Because there's a specific generation that appreciated Beaves and butt
Head and what they did and what they brought and

(14:04):
how edgy they were at the time. I'm a big
If you ask me who I like the most, it's
my guy Beavis and butthead, you know. So anyway, I'm
just trying to open it up and not take anyone
else's answer and I'll agree with me, fine, but you're
your most under Again, it's underrated because I think when
it comes to those cartoons, everybody wants to say South Park.
Everybody wants to say the Simpsons, Yo, the Simpsons, no offense,

(14:26):
haven't been good? Like who are the duo's we're talking duos.
I'm saying the duo's Beeves and Butthead, you bozo. Yeah,
but there's no duo on the Simpsons. I'm saying that
they get the credit, you dunce. And my favorite is
the duo known as Beavis and Butthead. So I'm giving
them props duos. I'm not comparing them to duos. I'm

(14:50):
comparing to them to their contemporaries. If you say big
duos like yeah, we don't want to hear the Michael Jordan,
Scottie Pippen like that, that's not the obvious ones, hey,
the underrated ones. I mean, what comes to mind as
far as underrated duos. I would have to say Jack
Tripper and Larry Dallas. They that's a you know, because
who brings that up? No one brings it up, and

(15:11):
that is fantastic When we were kids, I'm like, man,
Larry's a hell of a friend. What knocks on the door,
knocks on the door, Jack, I got some girls down
at the Regal Beagle. That's a friend. What a squad
right there? Yeah, what a wingman. They were always down
for each other. They're always down to go out Regal Beagle.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Let's go. You know what, that's a great one. Rich.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
So your thoughts underrated duos, TV, music, sport and entertainment
based on the Joker and Jamal Murray being the number
one duo in the NBA, and so would argue underrated.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Michael runs this place. Actually hit us up, who Mike?
And he said, have you guys ever heard of Electra
Woman and Dinah Girl? Underrated?

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I looked it up. It's from the seventies. It's ridiculous,
very funny. But again, who talks about that?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Right? I got one.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I can't say that I'm a fan, but I was
shocked when I found this out in recent history. Okay,
common knowledge to some, I get it. But you know
the song Surf City, Surf c I've heard that song
for years and swear it was the Beach Boys, two
Girls for Revery Boy. You know a song, right, of course,

(16:26):
it's not the Beach Boys. It's Jan and Dean.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Who's Dean? Who's Jananden?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I mean, I know I've heard of them, but when
you look them up, they have to Half the songs
you think are the Beach Boys are Janandine. And it's
wild because when you read about them, and I've heard
of Jenadine obviously, but I always thought the Beach Boys
pioneered that sound. When you look them up, it's just
Jen and Deine pioneered that California signature sound. The Beach

(16:55):
Boys just took it and ran with it and became
monsters with that that genre, within that within that time.
But Jan and Deane, I'm gonna say, because who brings
them up? Nobody? Nobody to our generation. If you're older,
it might be common Knowledgy're like, yeah, of course, but
nobody talks about them because they talk about the Beach Boys. Well,
let's see bo knows hit us up. He said, Hubs

(17:18):
and Crockett.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
That's a good one. They got. They got some love
from the eighties.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
And the word we might be looking for not boring
is This is from Jonathan Campbell on Twitter Methodical thought out.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Did they just play a like a yeah and that
I don't want to use the word. Well.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
They have some really good shooters on their team, though,
so I don't.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, that doesn't mean you stink like dude. You know what.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Floyd Mayweather got all the criticism about about being a
little boring at times, but guess what, he was fifty
and oh and arguably one of the greatest fighters of
all time. So it's not necessarily a knock. It's just
it doesn't provide for the most exciting games, exciting style in.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
For casual basketball, Like I had the Nuggets on TV,
like I guess it was a week and a half
or so ago, and my wife was watching with me,
and whenever Joker had the ball, whether he was dribbling
or he was under the basket, she's like, this guy
is the MVP. He looks like he's like half trying.
It looks like he's half running. And it's true, he

(18:19):
just looks like he's playing with no effort, which is
no knock against him, but he also looks kind of clumsy,
like heavy footed almost, and and.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
If he's playing with flippers on his feet. If anything,
it's a compliment because you know, he plays at such
an elite level and it doesn't look like it. Yeah,
and again the quote was, I think we're the best duo.
I think these other cats Lillard, Giannis lebron Ad people

(18:47):
have more interest in them because of the bigger markets
Luca Kyrie. If we're talking about the best duos getting
the job done, it's it's them. They're undoubtedly number one
according to Jamal Murray. So based on that underrated duos
your calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox's Cavino
and Rich Let's go to Vegas.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
What's up? True? True on? What's up?

Speaker 4 (19:10):
How you guys are doing? Man, it's my first time calling.
I just want to say I love you guys this show.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Hey, thanks man, hold on, you're calling from Vegas. Let
me get brow next free.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
But I am not a Raiders fan. Sorry, I am
a giant fan from New York. Original cool. Sorry to
hear that, so.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Is your favorite duo?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Them? Is your favorite duo of the mullets of Mark
Bavarro and fil McConkie's hair.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, that was a good duo.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
No, but my my pick is since your show is
sending around pop culture, Yeah, I'm gonna say Batman and
Robin because I think that they were a crucial part
of pop culture. In sports, when you have what was
especially basketball, when you have like two solid players, they're
always referenced.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
As you say, they're underrated.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Under Batman takes the lead and people forget about Robin Otherwise.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
I don't think they're really that underrated. They're pretty rated.
But I appreciate you. True.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Let's go to John and Hey Carolina, John, you're all
with c and Ry?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Thank you? Man? What's up? What's your duo? That? I
mean your parents? That's your parents? Answer that?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
But you know what, I also think that pretty d's
like the top rated duo. Answer Like, I feel like
if you google the top or most popular duos of
all time, Abbott and Costello might be the number one.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
I'll give you one.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
How about this Larry and Belkie, Kate and Ally.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Let's go to Josh in Ohio.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Hey, Josh, Hey, thanks for taking my call, first time
calling in.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
How about w W the Rockers?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
The Rockers? Dude?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I like the Rockers, So I like that answer. Yes,
didn't Martin Chanetti on a podcast like Admit to Murder?
Then he's like just kidding. I think something like that happened.
I used to like the Rockers I did. That's see,
that's a good answer, because when you talk about tag teams,
you know, it's always the same answer.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's always the same people. I used to like Strike
Force back in the day. Yeah, it's because you look
like Tito Santana. Yeah, I like them. Let's go to
Dan Bayer for an update.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
And by the way, do you remember how the Rockers
broke up in wrestling member Shawn Michael.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Stay felt the need to see other Rockers?

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Remember he threw Shawn Michaels through Janetti through the glass window. Yeah,
at the Barbershooters Prudence's barbershop? Yes, you remember?

Speaker 3 (21:29):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (21:29):
Was it?

Speaker 7 (21:30):
Bobby Heenan that then said, like, why did the window
get in the way?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Jeannetti tried to jump through the one of the best
dumb moments in wrestling history.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Oh so great, Jeannetti trying to get out of there.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
You guys touched on the play in games happening tonight,
there's more news in the NBA Raptor Center. John day
Porter band for life for violating the league's rules on gambling,
while Pelicans forward Zion Williamson's been ruled out of their
play game Friday against the Kings because of his hamstring strain.
If they advanced, don't expect Zion to shoot up for
the Pelicans anytime sooner.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
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 the end of this book.
I'm reading more about Ryan Garcia and the New York Mets.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
And I'll be honest, I got you.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Know when you want to force yourself to make an
opinion and you're 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.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
People.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
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?

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Is he going off the deep end?

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Going on? He got married again? Did you see that Covino?
What dude?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yes, he's married.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Random.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
By the way, Wan Soto just walked at the bases juiced,
so the Yankees pulling ahead of the Blue Jay. He
walked two loads the bases. Oh no, wait ah.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I thought the bases were loaded. Said they're gonna lose.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
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 on the field a
city field, very excited to promote the fight and throw
out the first pitch. You talked about old school hip hop. Yeah,
well make like juvenile. Back that ass up for a second,
because you're missing a big part of the story. Back

(24:36):
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 gonna force his father allowed to
watch an Idaho this week. Yeah right, I don't Potato
boxing party, can't wait.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
We talked about this yesterday. It was kind of wild.
We got mash Taters, we got Ill Grunton, we got.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
They got into a tussle on top of the Empire
State Building promote.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
The Witches French rug so.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Empire State Building, Little face Off New York City Fun
Vibe the fights on four twenty. They get in each
other's face and Devin Haney straight up doesn't even mush them.
I thought at first it was a little mush action.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
I was right to the face.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
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 screaming.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Ryan freaked out.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Ryan Garcia wanted to be a little bit of a baby.
He could be like, I'm prout in Georges. 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, something about his mama and talking about
Hane's mom.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I'm pretty sure man, that's what I got out of it.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, he's talking about Haines's mom. Devin Haney does his
best 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.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
They're gonna do some dual throw out.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
The first pitch together in promotion of the fight, and
Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge just hits a line drive down
the line, balls and no man's land. It might clear
the bases. Bob Bashett 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

(26:31):
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 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

(26:54):
other down and making Mets officials a little uneasy. Like
think about it, there's probably a bunch of we and
the women working in 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 the

(27:16):
Mets are like, guys, we're just we're not doing this.
And Ryan Garcia reacts like.

Speaker 10 (27:22):
This, 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 3 (27:38):
Because I'm going to expose the Mets. And he does.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
He starts like tweeting all these things about the Mets.
He says, go Yankees, and by the way, up, what's
too exposed about the Mets. I'll expose it. They've stunk
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.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Remember those stories about Vince.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Coleman's fireworks and a fan He posted, like every like
controversial story.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
What if this is like a reverse curse, you know,
like you know how they threw out the goat for
the Cubs and they and they had that hundred whatever,
Maybe this will be a reverse.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Thing and they'll win this. Yeah, the Mets are hot now.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
The Rye Garcia they threw it out, like 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 kind of insulting, because look
what just happened at the Empire State Building.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Devin Haney is not normally that type of kid.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
He's a he's a he's a true professional here. He's
a really disciplined fighter. This is a family friendly event,
and they 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 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

(28:59):
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 would even know
they're fighting. I know, and you know because we're fight fans.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I think this is one of those where it's like me, like,
did you even know Ryan Garcia was at City Field?
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 3 (29:21):
Imagine that.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Ryan goes, how could you Mets? And he tweets Vince Coleman, Right,
he says, the Brett Saberhiggen incident.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
What's that? What did he do? I don't even know
k Rod slugs it out in the.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Locker room, anything about Dwight Gooden, Bobby, the Bobby Bonilla contract.
So he's exposing them.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Now.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
You know, the whole thing was sort of weird. I
didn't know that Haney was involved. What I thought was
they caught him and De 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 their lifestyle. Don't don't let Lenny
Dykstra know that people were talking about the Mets. Imagine
Lenny Dykstra now comes out as a feudal Oh yeah,

(30:04):
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 10 (30:14):
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 kicks us
out for no reason. So everybody, I'm personally gonna say
the Mets don't ever go to the Mets game again.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Messed up. I think it's kind of messed up. You
get someone there. I get it.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
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?

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Is he pulling some sort of maneuver.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Where it's all in act, cause 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.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
About Applebee's.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
And it's a hot Applebee's has partnered up with 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.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
And by the way, I love Applebee's.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
By the way, when I go home to Union, New
Jersey to visit family and everything, it's my uncle's number
one spy bait.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Let's get involved tonight.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
And I know he's gonna say Apple Beasts because it's
just that's the spot.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Is this the same uncle that doesn't know how to
use a QR code and has a flip fund? Oh,
I'm tell him you said that? Text him on.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
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 restaurant.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
I like it too. I'll be honest. We grew up.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
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 Bennigans was and
still is my favorite of all those.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
I like Chili's appetite.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
If you are too cool for any food for that matter,
like those were 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 sassy, expensive restaurant,
and I'm good for a mid level chain restaurant.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I mean, who are you you?

Speaker 1 (32:32):
You would happen rich What happened after our generation when
the weenials started going out and they were legally drinking
and going on dates. They sort of abandoned those mid
level restaurants that we would go to, like a Friday's.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
I was gonna say, Fridays just shut down almost forty
of their location.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
And it makes sense because the generation younger than us
saw those as overpriced and lame and they'd rather go
to some sort.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Of local artsy van goes ear.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
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.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
A well that's a coffee shop, fan goes here, Yeah,
that type of scene.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
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 kidsway stadium 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 Hub Chipotle. By the way, Applebee's was
named yesterday the official grill of the NFL named the
official Grill.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
And then there's another layer to this story. George Foreman
must be upset now.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
From the state of California exactly 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.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Expects someone to live.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's entry level, dude, it's entry levels. You're not meant
to live on entry level job. Minimum minim wage was
created at a minimum you could live. As a result,
small businesses go out of business and they raise the
prices of your hamburgers at McDonald's. And since they've raised
the prices at all these fast food restaurants, now they're

(34:21):
saying kids are more likely to say no to McDonald's,
no to in and Out, no to Carl's Junior, and
yes 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, wa, yeah,
just say what I think he did? Yes to me,
turn of the Apple. It's the return of the mid level.

(34:43):
And 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.

Speaker 9 (34:58):
I guess choose not to gorge. I could eat like
a reasonable person and have you know healthy places.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
The menu items have gone up, Yes they have. Can
you want something all a card? It's eight dollars.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
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 guacus thirty five dollars.
Easy 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 something bucks.
So what people are doing and it makes sense, it's
not the sassy restaurant. Covina brings it up and you're

(35:32):
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.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
What the thinking is, if I'm going to pay twenty.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Five dollars for two burgers, I might as well go
to Applebee's. I might as well go to Beginnings, I
might as well go to Chili's. Because fast food prices
are now 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 we have a
happy hour special, and our happy hour special has like

(36:06):
five dollars apps, people are gonna go there and say,
what damn, I'm gonna I'm going back.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
To Fridays, going back to shitt And by the way,
if you had.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
To name your top few items off of those mid
level rocks, the Jack sauce at TJ Fridays, Oh Jack
Daniels Jack Jack Daniel sauce. By the way, Friday's also
has good frozen margarita's, the seasoned.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Fries at Red Robin.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
I feel like Danny g.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
I feel like every time I've gone to Red Robin,
it's been followed up with a terrible bathroom visitors saying it's.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
So true, look at they just signed a contract.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Red Robin Robin, Oh, you just said Chili's. What is that?
I like it too, I don't like myself. Twenty five
minutes later, do.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
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.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Now, but Danny Jeep mentioned Chili's. Danny, they have like
a caso dip? What is it?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Like a fundato caso dip? That's fantastic, Dan Buyer, what
is your go to on.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
Those it's you were talking about Chili's They took off
the original chicken crispers.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
From their menu from a year ago, and there was
an entire outrage for it.

Speaker 7 (37:18):
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 That's the only thing
I would.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Get, Yo d the Southwest egg rolls to which are.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I got it?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Well?

Speaker 1 (37:34):
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, not as many

(37:57):
as there used to be, because again I 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 it ye spot, I believe.
Was it Swiss and Turkey? Yeah, Swiss and Turkey on
that pretzel roll with that with that honey mustard.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
The Monte Cristo was famous, but it wasn't my favorite.
I used to Cristal.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Yeah, I was very famous, and I used to The
sampler was famous at Bennigan's. And I used to always
eat the health Club chicken platter, but their honey.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Mustard was to die for.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
So again, if you just joined us the fast food prices,
it joined us.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
It's fat Guy Radio. We're talking about food. Welcome to
fat Guy Radio, everybody.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Uh, fast foods have 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 apple Bee's was named the official grill
of the NFL. Applebee's the go to casual dining destination

(39:02):
for game day. And it's kind of cool because again,
it's like Bulpy by the Way game when I play, Yeah,
and I figured you want to see right tribute.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yankees way.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
So I was kind of see cool to see our
our teenage years, our childhood places sort of come back. Yeah,
because the prices aren't gonna be that different than fast
food price.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
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.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
They shut our Fridays down.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, that's 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 and that NFL announcement was peculiar, but
that'll bring more people back to these restaurants.

Speaker 9 (40:02):
A whole lot A second, isn't that just the Isn't
that just Applebee's paying the NFL boatload 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. They'll there will
always be some advertisement running. It's like, these cleats are
the official cleats of the NFL. This gum is big
Red is the official gum of the NFL.

Speaker 7 (40:24):
Is an official ladder of the NCAA gonment, Yeah there is, Yeah,
Dan Byer.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
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 2 (40:43):
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. Yes, I saw that.
So some of these mid level places like Friday, It's
Friday a bit longer, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Exact, there is Olive Garden half a step up. I
think it's I think it's along there. It's just that
brands it it's just a talleng like Boston Market. I
think it's like, you know, it's a step.

Speaker 9 (41:08):
Food also fall out of that times Boston Markets market back, just.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
The Boston Market is in that same category as Panera
bread where you bring a number to your table, like
it's that in between.

Speaker 7 (41:18):
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. They're down to like twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Sad. Yeah, dude, yeah, that's sad.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
So everybody's going to Applebee's.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
That's why. Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Based on the announcement right Dan and Fox Sports Radio Nation,
who wins the.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Mid level Restaurant Wars?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
When all said and done, we know Taco Bell wins
the fast food Wars in the future, according to demolition Man,
who wins the mid level restaurant Wars? Applebee's with the
momentum of the NFL Chili's? Does Fridays make a comeback?
Does Pegans come back from the woodwork?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Correct? Me?

Speaker 1 (41:58):
I mean I could be wrong. In fact, I'm us
really wrong. So there's a good chance of this here.
I think Apples then in the prime of all those restaurants,
when I say nineties early two thousand foot Rutgers, Hula Hans.

Speaker 7 (42:10):
I mean my Sisters was a step down, kind of
like Boston Market.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Now BJ's is in like thirty States.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Yes, that's something that's house house.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Go ahead, Rich.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
My thought was back then, I don't know why I
thought TGI Fridays was the benchmark.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
I don't know why. I feel like it was good.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
I thought that was like one it was comeing wrong
when you look back at the day.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
I was all like, I loved Applebee's and Hula Hands
and all the others, but I thought Fridays was.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Sort of like the 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 7 (42:46):
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 for the meal more.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah, and then you would drink it by the Yeah, seriously,
do shots of it.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
And they had this sweathy like margarita thing frozen. I
don't know what that was not a magical look a
Texas roadhouse.

Speaker 9 (43:08):
No Riches, right, that's a little step up because Rich
those a good cuts of meat.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
On Friday nights, Fridays would bring a DJ in and
people would start.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Dancing by the bar.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Yes, so Fridays was so popular they try to turn
it into a little club at the end of the
Friday night there.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
That's so funny.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Hey, you know what, If anything, it's just a good
reminder of some of these places were very important to
our childhood and then our vacteen 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
Chilis of your life.

Speaker 8 (43:47):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
week where mid Week Major.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
I love that we.

Speaker 8 (43:54):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
The kid say week.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
Definitely see it our scoring Midweek major.

Speaker 11 (44:07):
Ahead one yo.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
I recognize that you the guy that DJ'd at Friday's
in the early two thousands.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I did moonlight there as a DJ. All Right, 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 hosted this segment. Let's roll
those big red love dice in the main studio, all right,
this is to see who gets first first take.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Sorry, yeah, I think I got it.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
I can just rolled the all right, I go first,
Cavino first, and.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person from Scotch Plains,
New Jersey besides Judy Blue Spotty Boys.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
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 6 (44:56):
ESPN's Draft Night coverage is getting a new edition in
the four I'm a legendary coach. Bill Belichick, Oh you
appeared on Pat McAfee's show today, and McAfee announced that he,
McAfee and Belichick will be hosting Draft Night coverage for
ESPN next Thursday, April twenty fifth. Belichick's's he's looking forward

(45:17):
to seeing it from the other side, and it'll be
fun to be in Detroit.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
I think that I'm just out of that. So we'll
see how the the.

Speaker 6 (45:24):
Personalities work together or clash mid week or major Oh
when you sit in New addition, I thought you had
up date on Bobby be sorry.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
So you had an update on Johnny Gill, no good one.
I think this is major.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
I think it's mayow because we all wondered where he'd
end up, right, speculation about 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, that's kind of cool. I don't think
he's going to be very good at it. I don't
don't unless we see a completely different side of him. Well,

(45:57):
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 different side. Imagine the whole
time Belichick'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?

Speaker 3 (46:17):
But you know what, can we know?

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Bill Belichick 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.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
It might be interesting to see his perspective, like what
are teams doing right now he'll have a little additional perspective.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
I think it's really cool still mid but I like
it all right.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
Uh, Caitlin Clark's Ricky contract getting a lot of buzz
this week out a hype.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah, people don't understand economics.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
That's what 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 he xed,
and I quote 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 It's time to give
our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure

(47:04):
women are paid what they deserve.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Just the president not understand economics.

Speaker 6 (47:08):
He didn't specifically mentioned the WNBA, but everyone knows that.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
That's what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
It's major because it's the president responding to the Caitlin
Clark stories.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
That's some idiot on the view. What is going on?
What doesn't he understand about?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Well, you gotta fill the seats, you gotta sell tickets,
you gotta boost the ratings. There's 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

(47:42):
bigger contract.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
I mean, that's just how it works.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
It doesn't make sense, man, I don't understand why anyone's
man about it. I'm rooting for women's sports as hard
as anyone. Yeah, 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 remember
when Twinkies were taking off the shelves and like, we're
discontinuing Twinkies and everyone's.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Like, what do you mean you can't do that?

Speaker 1 (48:06):
And then you asked the person what was the last
time he 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?

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Support these women and do the right thing.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
And now get at about it, all right, absolutely great,
all right, nearly, but I'm gonna say major because Joe
Biden is a knucklehead.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
If if he's saying that.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
I mean, clearly the guy doesn't understand economics. I'll just
leave it there freeconomics, right, all right. Newly retired Jason
Kelcey 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

(48:55):
Cincinnati chili, you know, the Cincinnati three Way, which has
to do with chili rich Sincinnati since.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Three Way please.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
In the vat was a sock with championship accessories, some
fake rings, but Kelsey's actual ring was mixed in with
the chili.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
So students had.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
To jump in and like find all this stuff despite
their passage double deer, Yeah, like double deer. 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. 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,

(49:33):
his ring's officially gone. He's like, maybe I'll have another
one made if it's possible. Who knows, Midweeker Major, it's major.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
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,
but I mean, how careless could you be, Sunday carylss
could you be? And He's gonna go tos and insurance

(50:00):
as a result, he said, and Travis was like, well,
I don't know if that's.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Going to work when you're admitting how you ost it.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
He's like no, because I knew where it was, and
it doesn't matter where I put it.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
I knew where it was. We just can't find someone
has landfast reminder. Remember that time you found a finger
with a ring on it in your hot dog? Yes?

Speaker 1 (50:21):
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 Chris Sba.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
I'm out, No, it's.

Speaker 9 (50:31):
Chili spaghetti and that's that's Skyline Chili, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Cincinnati three, there was a giant vat and his ring
was lost in there somehow, and it's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
I'm gonna think that's so mid made to lose.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Like one of your prize possession. It could be replaced.
I lost my wedding ring. I'm not devastated about it.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
My wife lost her.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Spot lost his in the the the gen C, but
not a gen C, the actual.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
In Greece.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
I was like Spot, I thought you were buying creatine. Well,
you know what can't be replaced, the one and only
damn buyer. Let's hit up DC for an update.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Hey dB, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
And uh, there's a reason why three.

Speaker 7 (51:14):
You know, 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, take the ferry across the river.
That's my lasting memory of Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Getting ready for the games tonight, any plans we're going out,
Rich and I are going coincidentally, we were talking mid
level restaurants. We are going to yard House. Well you
know what, watch we have a friend in town, so

games are over, That's what I want.

Speaker 9 (52:14):

Speaker 9 (52:50):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
How is everybody?

Speaker 3 (52:55):
We're hungry? Did you see did you see this story?

Speaker 1 (52:58):
First of all, what is your favorite chain restaurant in
the realm of Applebee's Fridays?

Speaker 3 (53:01):
Like, What's Hane Restaurant. It's a close one, because you
guys know, I love pizza.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
I love Bejay's Bury brew House, the pizza place.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
I also really like Lazy Dog. Yeah, Lazy Dogs great.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
I've been to Lazy Dog for the first time. That
might be a little step up.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
I like, you think their happy hour is amazing. And
they got those TV dinners let's go. Oh yeah, yeah
they don't. I've never bought one of those. Yeah, now
they're great.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
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
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.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Off on a loan.

Speaker 6 (53:47):
I saw that.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
That's real.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
That's not it was life imitating art. It was straight
up weekend at Bernie's.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
He could not believe that Bernes too right when they
went to the bank.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
But by the way, for only thirty four hundred dollars though,
so imagine taking that risk wheeling in it. That's gun
in Brazil, I get it, but it's not thirty four thousand,
Like you're really taking a major risk.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
You're wheeling in a dead guy.

Speaker 9 (54:10):
I kept trying to be like, no, he's alive, Like
he's just not making any facial yes, she was saying, right.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
I was like, you know, he's alive. Uncle, are you listening, Uncle,
are you listening?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
And she puts the pen in his hand for him
to sign off alone orbid.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yeah, it's really weird. It's a real story. By the way,
she should have put sunglasses on him.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
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.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
Doesn't look right. Yeah, no, he's always like that. He's
so cold.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
He keeps falling back.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
Yeah, the neck.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
She's like, uncle, if you don't sit up straight, I'm
gonna have to take you to the hospital.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Too late. The guy's dead already, and she should go
to the hospital. Yeah, she knows he's dead.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
By the way, if you don't know the story, this
woman wheeled in his dead guy so that he could
he could sign off on some money for her.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
So wild, I can't believe that's a real story.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
She's gonna be charged for fraud, embezzlement, and theft.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Yeah, theft of the weekend in Bernie's movie script. Yeah,
we Bernie's too 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.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
He's gonna go on for more than.
