(04:07):
I want to start off with today because I don't know,
we consider ourselves experts. Some people say the greatest duo,
we see the greatest hair in radio, It's possible Covino
and Rich because we still have it. Yeah, I mean,
the competition slim, but we still have ours. And dp's
got good hair, Dan Patrick Colin, I mean there's some

(04:27):
good hair.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Do you remember when Colin in great hair?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Do you remember when Colin tried to dye his hair
when he went from Espanto Fox and then he realized, now,
just look cooler with the gray hair.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
He looks handsome now.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
He pulled to Bob Barker. He just let it go gray.
All of a sudden, he just went all gray.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
And it looks good. It looks good on him.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
My dad did the same during the pandemic. He's like, yeah,
tied to dye in my hand. So he just has
the whole Well, he looks like Mark Twain now a
little mix of Mark Twain and Albert Einstein.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
But talking hair, you gotta talk.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
About, is that a young mel Gibson, because that's what
it it looks like. Is that Adam Curry Allah the
MTV Days?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Who is that?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh that's Joe Burrow. Look at the main on that guy.
I don't know if Kenny Maine. I don't know if
he's trying to go with some jungle cat theme since
he is a Bengal, maybe he's trying to go for
some type of lion tiger type of hair.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Have you seen this, Danergy. It's unbelievable. It's everywhere. How
do you miss it?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
It looks like the old Broadway classic Cats is coming back.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
His hair is out of control now it looks like
clamorous almost. He's got like glamorous hair. Bro In the eighties,
my dad used to get his hair cut at a
place in Queen's called the Main Event, like you know,
play off the word Maine.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's where. That's where Joe Burrow's got this hairdoo from
the Main Event.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
He's got an Eric Carmen make Me Loose Control nineteen
eighties pompadoo.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's a great reference. See it.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
If you don't know alreadyou well that sweet sound. He
has nineteen eighties like hair, not even hair metal like
eighty just eighties hair like a boufont almost. It's almost
Anakin Skywalker. Like to be accurate, it's very Anakin Skywalker.

(06:14):
Oh no, it looks like the Lifeguard dude from stranger things.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yes, the dude they got put in a Trancena guy.
I remember that guy.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, for sure, it's a throwback. But look, when you're
handsome like Joe Burrow, you do whatever you want. He's
a handsome guy man, so it looks good. It's just
like whoa. It's just like when you haven't seen anybody
in a while, you know, speaking of the pandemic. Remember
I said, my dad just stopped dyeing his hair. I
remember you ran into some old colleagues that we hadn't
seen in a long time, and Rich was so thrown

(06:44):
off because so many people just let their hair grow out.
There was a guy we worked with, serious ExM that
this guy had almost like a you know, a typical
like white guy fade right like maybe like a two
clip on the side, regular guy haircut right. I saw
this guy like a year removed from COVID. He looked
like weird al yak rich heady anymore. Rich was like,

(07:06):
I had no idea who it was. And you are
taking back a little bit when you see Joe Burrow
because he had that clean cut sort of Joe Burrow
look that you know he grew it out. It's very
lethal weapon. It's very throwback. It's very Anakin Skywalker again,
still handsome, but a little shocking. Is for the new
headshots for the upcoming season. That's gonna be on the

(07:28):
scoreboard all seventeen. Oh man, it's glorious. When you see
that Joe Burrow yards touchdowns picks, the graphic will pop
up with that head of hair. So it postes two
questions that I want to throw out there here on
Fox Sports Radio. It's not all about the hair. But
there are layers to this silly conversation. Big Mike who

(07:48):
runs his place, Mike, you know Mike. Of course everyone doesn't.
It's had a confused look on everybody. Mike, you know, Mike.
It's like Stone call Steve Austin a little bit, Mike
who runs this on social media? He said, he said, guys,
there comes a time, probably in your twenties, where you

(08:09):
can no longer have like joke hare like stupid hair.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
And then layer two of this conversation is do you have.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
To run your hairstyle changes by the wife or girlfriend
and do you expect the same in return? Like it's
not asking permission, it's just the courtesy. Like if your
girlfriend is brunette and she's like, I think I want
to die my heart blonde.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Does she need to say, like, hey, honey, is that
cool with you?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Some unofficial breaking news here? Uh oh, And we'll blame
this on Bursh because he's the one that came in.
He's like, I don't mean to kill your fun, but
he said awful. Announcing just reported that that may not
be a real photo now though, right, yeah, I saw
it earlier today.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh okay, so this is breaking news. That's fine. I'd
rather be the show to break in. It's trending, it's viral,
it's all over, it's on every major sports.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, we have our crash staff age on this s
story right.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Now into the Sunday How was actually getting hyped like wow,
this is kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's bold.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
He was making Chaz Dean jealous for the record Liver
Burrow's twenty seven. And my theory is, you know, you
get your stupid hairdoos out of the way in your
teens and twenties. Anything more is uncivilized because in your thirties,
come on, you gotta have a bit of a grown
up haircut. You look at young kids today, the we

(09:39):
neils of today they all have the broccoli heads. They're
walking around like alpacas. They have the alpaca look right
if you look at it like human alpacas with the
front poof that they got going on. You do those
things when you're young. At a certain point it's over.
But that doesn't mean rich you can't pose your question.
Oh I could still pose my question. Pose like Joe

(10:00):
Burrow in his glorious hair, if you want. I mean,
if it's real. And there's a part of me that
while Joe Burrow liked it and he didn't shoot it
down because he liked all the attention, while you're telling
me it's fake, I'm saying this, Yeah, have you ever
put something out there to see the response?

Speaker 2 (10:19):
And then maybe he'll go with it?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Like what if everyone's like, dude, glorious And then and
then he's like, you know what, maybe I do want
to go with it. Maybe he has to now with
all the hype behind him. Alston, what's up Iowa?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Sam? I was gonna say, I was going to add
to this.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Mike Gundy, Oklahoma state head football coach. He kind of
did this little like faux mullet thing, got a great response,
and he went on full mullet for like a year,
ran with.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
It because you start getting attention like, ah, I'm just
gonna be the mullet guy. Yeah, it's like jo Vonn
he'd like it. You know, he got recognized as the
guy with the mullet, so he probably just was like, well,
I might as well lean into that a little bit again,
did I get got?

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Hold on, I'm.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Confused, Like that time you believe people could run on water? Well,
why or every alien story? Why would that be a thing? Like, well, listen,
you know what I mean? Why would someone throw out
Joe Burrow with glorious mel Gibson? Here there are people
loving this Oliver social media and of course, not just now,
people have been saying, I don't think it's real. Maybe

(11:18):
it's not, maybe you styled it that way. Either way,
it's glorious. And if you haven't seen it fake a
real just google Joe Burrow hair and it's just everywhere.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Look it up.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studio tirack

Graduate Hotels, Tempe, Arizona location to twenty five East Apache Boulevard,
same fun we had in Oregon this past week Happy

(11:49):
Hour from four to six Live show again. See you
in Tempe for the Pac twelve Baseball Championship again this Friday. Now,
do you have to ask with the mission? Absolutely? By
the way, we're not the only ones. There's a whole
article here about one. I say, like, I'm looking at
other sports shows sort of in our lane.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I guess you'd say.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
McAfee was discussing this earlier as well, like people were
sort of torn on fake or not because it does
look like it very much could be real because Burrow
does have that floppy hair a bit.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
There's still arguing.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
There's still an argument going on online right now and
people are comparing and contrasting photos. And I guess a
beat writer was there at the Bengals OTAs.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, Dan Horde, he says normal hair length confirmed. This
is from Monday. He has a video of but Burrow
and it is his normal hair length.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
There's an investigation indeed, Well, you know what, Joe Burrow
could have easily ended this by sending out a tweet
or any sort of social media response. Clearly he likes it.
Clearly he's probably debating it. He's like, who knew I'd
get all this attention?

Speaker 4 (12:53):
He should have responded with a picture of his chest
hair and that's it.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh, you know, but you know what, he looked very
pretty with his hair too, so he uh, he looked.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Justin Herbert esque but better.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Herbert could do this with his hair. He looked like
her grungy.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, this is this is more like, uh, this is
more glorious sort of band. Yeah, very very like Cinderella
or White Snake or something like.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
This article says he looks like an athletic Anakin Skywalker.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Exactly what he looks like. So rich poses well to
sort of post with great hair. Number one, you get
all your bad hair choices out of the way when
you're younger. The answer is yes, But at what point
do you gotta act like a grown up?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Which was the what was the weakest hair?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
You look back on and say, well, I tried it,
Like I feel like you're a guy that probably had
a rat tail. I had a tail through like grade
school in junior high. Yeah, did you ever have do
you ever have lines in your head?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I had one line headline.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
H yeah, we did the We did the line hip
hop style, but we would do the ten. Not only
would we do the tail cove. Remember some kids would
braid the tale.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh absolutely.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
My older brother always had his girlfriend braid his little tail.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Had the tail, had the lines. But again, when I
was younger, when I was a kid, I had dude,
I had a it was a faux hawk then turned
I called it the Aztec Warrior.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I had a mohawk in.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
My thirties, and people did roll their eyes behind my
back and talk stuff behind my back because it goes
against the rule that we're establishing. Now, keep in mind,
I work in rock radio at the time. You know,
I worked at Serious XM. I'm having fun. I'm a broadcaster.
I'm not a guy who's working at the office or
anything like that. Right, So, I remember when Cavido had

(14:40):
this quote unquote like fuxhawk mohawk thing. He was actually
mad at one of our mutual friends, Nicole, who I
do another podcast with, because she said, what's Kiven not
trying to prove trying.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
To prove I was too cool for her was like,
what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, I took offense to Yeah, you get a mohawk
in your thirties, so again, you get all those choices
out of the If Joe Burrow decided to do that,
you just gotta let him roll. He's a young dude,
he's twenty seven. But there's a point in time. I'm saying,
thirties thirty five, Max, thirty five is way too old.
Thirties I broke the rule. I work in rock. I worked,

(15:16):
I still do work in rock radio. I'm not saying
that's the exception, but you see the mutants that are
involved in rock. My foehawk mohawk was pretty tame at
the time. Every rockstar from the eighties looks like an ant.
And now I'll say that an ant like I like
someone's antwer oh, Like every every dude rockstar looks like

(15:38):
everyone's ant, like Steven Tyler. Yeah that is true. Yeah,
I get what you're saying. So Joe Burrow, I guess
I'll assume it's fake. But it definitely went viral like
so fast. It was like everywhere before you knew it,
people are like, no way, So yeah, post a question,
when do you get these choices out of the way.

(15:59):
What's the expiration date on stupid hair news? In fact,
Michael runs this place said he thinks that every young
person should have stupid hair. So I look back and
look at your style, represent the times, laugh about it,
find yourself. But again, the cutoff points around thirty, so
Joe Burrow would be just under that at twenty seven.
And then when you're about to make a new hair

(16:20):
choice a la Joe Burrow, do you rich said?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Do you ask?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Do you run it by your significant other? The answer
is yes, you do, yes again not for permission. Just
speaking of no, speaking of sports hair, did we confirm
last year, did Jimmy Butler have fallout boy hair?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Or is that also fake?

Speaker 6 (16:39):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I think he just straightened it.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, I believe he made that a real look.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
But he didn't.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
He only just did it for the photo. But he
never rocked it in a game. No, for the fun
of it. It was so my understanding it was his
real hair.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Though.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Now we live in Los Angeles, now we did the
show here in LA but I grew up in New York.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
I'm a New York kid. I'm a New Yor kid
that grew up in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Do you know how many dumb buddies I had thought
they were Anthony Mason for a second.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Oh designs and there right around the time.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Danny do this is great, Right around the time when
Anthony Mason's carving all that stuff in his hair.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
He rest in peace.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, people, when he was carving all those cool designs
in his hair. I had buddies that for our high
school and junior high sports teams were doing that, like yeah,
for uh, you know, junior high baseball tournament. Yeah, and
they would carve our school's name and a baseball bat
and stuff in their head.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
He was one of my favorite nineteen nineties New York
nick players because of what he would do with his hair.
And then he played really physical on the court. So yeah,
not only did he have good style, he also had
a lot of muscle on the floor.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well what about that?

Speaker 1 (17:43):
You know, speaking of hair in the eighties and nineties,
who comes to mind when it comes to the flow
to the sound, who comes to mind a guy that
Dan Byer probably rooted for, Brian Bosworth. He had a
flat pop. Yeah, but you don't think how he long
went to the same barber forever. You don't think of
the bos with that.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Hair Boss had.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
He had a good thing going on. I had a
flattop at one point. He definitely owned the flat top.
But I think, like today, Boba Schett got some flow.
That is true, right, dB got some flow, memorable hair,
right Bosworth?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (18:16):
Absolutely, because you would also color the opponents or the colors.
So if it was the Broncos, it would be like
blue and orange or the Raiders silver and black and
Chiefs thread.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Wild the story and you confirm this, dB, is that
Agassy wore a wig?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Because I throw Agassi in this conversation, but it was
a wig.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I didn't believe it when you told me until you
showed me and looked it up because I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I did not know.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
That it's crazy, but yeah he was. Look, he was
what Balding at twenty eighth or whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
It was, and he bought him at Maury's Wigs. That's
crazy about that. I look at New York met right now.
Do you find it to be a cool look or
laying that Francisco Lindor always has like green hair, blue hair,
Now that's cool. I like, how about your boy Gary Carter?
Did he used to get a perm. Did he have
a PERM or did he get his hair straightened when
he was younger? I wonder if in the mid eighties

(19:08):
because later in his career Carter rest in peace.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Another guy that we lost had more of a comb over,
but hair lives on. Man.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
When you picture Gary Carter not only met Danny g
as an expo, do you picture that glorious eighties like perm?

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Oh yeah, I think of guys on TV that had
that white guy perm.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Like thet the kid on he is enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There were tons of guys walking around with that.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Since Gary Carter had he never wore the ear flap,
so he had that his helmet.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Like rested on the remember the greatest American hero of course,
believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
So since we're getting word, I mean, we got people
on the scene to tell us that Joe Burrow's hair
is fake. That's a fake photos photo shot. We've been duped.
We got got with the rest of the world. Possibly
possibly that's.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Because you're saying this.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
You sent the same investigator that Billy Madison had. That
the guy Billy Madison had, there's a video.

Speaker 7 (20:04):
Of him throwing at ot as today and there is
no party in the back, like it's long on top, but.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
There's no Who are we throwing in this conversation? Then?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Who gets honorable mention for the flower? Oh he's in
hair commercials for sure. Yeah, Garner Minshew with the with
the handleball mustache and the mullet.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
You know he has a look, yes, yeah, it reminds
me of Dennis Eckersley.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
You gotta think your old baseball cards has a nice
little feathered flow.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I mean Kevin's dad. The whole time I've known him,
he had long hair.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oscar Gamble back in the day, the dude had a
baseball cap sitting on the top of his afro. It
would just didn't even like cover, it just sat on
the top.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Here, we were about to put Joe Burrow in the
category of best hair ever in sports.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Scratched off the list. He was about to go into
the CNR Hair Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Man, who else comes to mind? Anyone else? I like
the Anthony Mason the I think Vander Sanders had Jerry Curl.
I think of the Yankees, I think of the Detroit Piston.
John Sally, okay.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
John Sally. Deon Sanders did have he I think he
was using soul glow. He was right, he was. He
said soul glows Jo.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
He was neon Dion Sanders for sure. So all right,
little sad that it's fake, I give you one.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I want it to be real. I'll give you one.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
You used to make fun of this guy's hair because
you said that he didn't have sideburns. Used to call
them hyde burns because his sideburns were higher than his ear. Oh,
they're called net. The proper term is negative burns.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Burns.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Jose Conseco when he had like that, Like he was
dating Madonna at the time, so he was like always
stylish for an in the nineties unless you were nine
oh two one oh, like Luke Perry before that era,
they would cut your sideburns right above your ear. Yeah,
and Kenseko was the poster boy for that.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
He wasn't the only one on that ACE team either.
Weiss had that look on.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Negative negative heideburns. Oh what about hair? Talk about an
afro on Gary Templeton.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Back in the day. That was another good one. Yeah,
Gary Templeton, remember that.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I want to have a throw off between Templeton and
Oscar Gambling.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Gotta look that up.

Fired up for Pacers Celtics tonight, Game one on the
Eastern Finals.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I need something to hype me up for that.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
No offense, Indiana, I really I was Thurston like Thurston
hell the third I was Thurston. Good one for some
Nick Celtics Boston New York rivalry because the Yankees, Red
Sox that's out there really right now, and Boston and
New York being mad at each other and fighting. That's
always good for sports. So I thought Nick Celtics would

(23:40):
have been fantastic. Hey, PACER's earned it.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
I just make fun. I think it's just four games.
James Celtics are highly favored.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
But you don't know. You don't know until it happens.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
You're not Nostra Davis. He's Rich Davis. I'm Steve Cavino.
And man, I don't know what fired me down more
the Yankees miserable loss yesterday, letting up four runs in
the ninth they had that game, or the fact that
I found out that Joe.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Burrow's hair isn't real, toy.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I want the photos that real Andre's hair was not real, right, right,
the viral photos, and I'm sure you saw on every
major social media page. I'm sure you saw it is
a fake photo. At least that's what we're being told.
And we were all duped, We all got got still
sparked a good topic. Well, No, last time that got

(24:29):
this bad really was It was balloon Boy back in
the early two thousand.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Dis a point in that weather balloon.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
He's not as a hoox. When was the last time
you were duped this?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Bad? Feels shamed? I wanted that to be true. Danny's right,
though it did spark a good cover sation.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
I told Rich this in the break, and I was
telling other guys last night on TikTok. For ninety seconds,
I thought Will Smith and Chris Rock had to sit
down interview where they were hashing it out. And then
I looked at the comments and all of them are
like nice.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Ai ai A. And then you see it and then you're.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
Like, okay. I could see how this was fake, but
I was like, how did I miss this? If this
was a month ago. But for a good ninety seconds,
I'm like, holy smokes, Jez, and you're you're a young
man and a smart guy and a smart guy.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Rich and I always talk about how during this election
year and the closer we get to November, how many
old people will be duped with deep fakes and ais
of the President's saying out landish things. Your mom, your dad,
your grandpappy. They're gonna be coming to you. They're gonna
be coming to you telling you all these things that
are just fake, like did.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
You see what Biden said? Did you see what Trump said?

Speaker 1 (25:38):
No? Mom, Rogan said, Joe Rogan fool a lot of people, Yeah,
not just old people. And Dan I said that during
the break to you. Yes, Kivino and I agree that
right up there. Because of his popularity, Joe Rogan the
deep fakes all the time, all over the place because
people want to pimp their product, like, oh, I got
my new protein powder.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
What if I have deep fake? Joe Rogan talk about it.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
When RFK Junior surges in the polls a week before,
you'll know why.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
And by the way, speaking of RFK Junior, we are
gonna get to his possible VP candidate that didn't happen,
but we'll talk to Aaron Rodgers in a few minutes.
But one last note about hair before we get Dann
Buyer's update. Everybody, Sewan who listens out here in LA
or Buddy Weller, what's up, Sewan? Hey, Sean listening while
he makes his deliveries? He said, can we shout out

(26:25):
all the Shawn's.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Tons of Shawns.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
You gotta bring up old school wrestlers if you're gonna
have hair conversations.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
The eighties and nineties.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Every wrestler from Brutus to Barbara Beefcake to Ravishing, Rick Rude,
Ultimate Warrior, they all had crazy hair.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
The Red Rooster. They're professional wrestlers, they had like rock
star hair. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I don't know who said it, but there was probably
a meeting in like eighty five where Vince McMahon's like,
all right, you're all gonna have long hand.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Like you're in Twisted Sister. Yeah. I was just part
of the vibe.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
There had to be some ka territory you had to have,
like Jake the Snake hair kind of to survive in
the WWF.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Last Thursday during Old School and fifty hits. Remember when
the caller brought up Coming to America as a great
movie in that year, we were speaking of that we
didn't get to and it made me think of one
of the best hairdoes of all time. Do not let
him sit on your couch the Dean Sanders.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, baby, my dad owns soul Globe. I mean, there's
a fun fact.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
You know, who's getting their haircut in the barbershop In
one of the famous scenes in Coming to America, a
famous actor before he's famous, he's sitting in the chair
well before. Right as Eddie Murphy goes in to get
his hair cut at the barber shop, it's Academy.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Award winner Cuba Gooding Junior, a very young Cuba getting
juniors in one of the other barber chairs.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
He's sitting there and wasn't our senior? Our senior Hall
and Eddie Murphy both in like old man makeup?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Right, that's yeah, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Celtics cover the double digit points bread tonight is a
Is this a bunk series did when we robbed the
Nick Celtics?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Or Am I overstating this?

Speaker 1 (28:08):
No?

Speaker 4 (28:09):
I think and I'm doing this on purpose because it's
a bad Sam is the one known for bad puns.
But I think the pace of the Pacers could bother
the Celtics a little bit.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay that listen, anything that excites me, if you tell
me this series ago six or seven, that's one thing.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I just I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I just feel like I feel like coming off that
emotional comeback winning that series against the Knicks could leave
them just dominated the first two in Boston and then
if they're down two oh to Boston, I just can't
see them.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
They're scrappy though, they kind of remind me true the
Eastern version of the t Wolves, and they have a
decent defense. Now, we talked about this a little bit
in the hallway yesterday that at the halfway point or
the in season tournament, I think was the time where
their coach gathered the team and said, if we could
just have a decent defense to add to our glorious offense,

(29:02):
we will go far. And sure enough, that's what happened
the second half of the season.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm hoping for an exciting game, something to look forward
to later on Game one Eastern Finals. And like I said,
the most cliche but truest thing in sports is styles
make fights. Styles make games. And speaking of rich not
to spread rumors again like Joe Burrow's hairdoo. But apparently
it's confirmed that Tyson Fury, speaking of fights, is saying

(29:27):
he wants that Alexander Usik rematch.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Well he should.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
It was I thought it was seven to five or
six six plus the knockouts forward in Saudi Arabia and
people are saying, hey, it's a good move because it
was a close fight. Like we're just saying, so maybe
you tweak a few things and you come out victorious.
So they're saying in October, we'll keep your post that
Dan Byer always has updates for you. Again, we have
prizes for you here on the Cavino and Rich Show.

(29:53):
So we're playing some whack Diesel Shack Diesel trivia next hour.
As a big fight fan like you are, you know,
you got me involved. If Tyson Fury would win a rematch,
then you're looking at one of those classic trilogies which
I think every fight enthusiast loves.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Right, two great fighters and you want.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
The rubber match split and then they have the rubber
match and it'll be huge and they'll get paid fifty
million dollars by some Saudi prints, and yeah, his excellency,
and what's great for heavyweights is great for boxing as
a whole because that's what brings, you know, most of
the eyes and most of the excitement. So that's word
on the streets. But again, you never know what to
believe in today's world of reporting and social media. But

(30:33):
we'll keep you posted here at Covino and Riches where
you could chime in at Steve Cavino at Rich Davis
and we still have so much to get to. Yeah,
we're gonna get to quarterbacks and NFL on a second,
but I do want to say one thing cano because nowadays,
which with every pitch in baseball being put in the
K zone, so we could tell even more so when

(30:54):
umpster a little off instant replaying football and basketball now
with even more enhanced replay, referees and officials are really
more scrutinized than ever before. And I'm not saying it's unfair.
They get paid, it's their job. Technology is caught up.
I think you have to give credit where credits due.
And the referee for the Usik Fury fight, there was

(31:17):
a moment where he could have very well stopped that
fight and said, yo, Fury's getting his ass, well stop
couldn't and waved his hands. I don't know how he was,
but they let Fury get through that moment where you
were like, no way is he gonna last this round.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
So it was a great nonstopage.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
So if we're going to criticize refs and officials for
bad calls and stoppages, I think you got to say
that was pretty cool how he let them fight, because
Fury did recover and towards the end, I think if
that fight went fifteen instead of twelve rounds. For all
we know, Fury could have ended up winning that fight.
Oh yeah, he got a chance. I think that was

(31:53):
is it referee Mark Nelson? I know they joked about
how he was a really tiny guy for two guys
of that size, but he was fantastic, So give credit
words due. The point is we're not supposed to know
their names because they're not supposed to be in the way.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Of the fight. If you know their name, that means
they did something wrong, right, exactly A right.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Well, let's say, what's up to super Rassite who wanted
to chime in quickly in Detroit?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
And then we'll talk to We'll talk to NFL quarterbacks.
It's uper Cide.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Hello, everyone, what's hot? My name is? What my name?
Miss who? Hold on?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Hold on riverside, hold on second, you're you're you're silly.
Intro didn't make me think of something. Did you see
Eminem and his daughter got his daughter got married? Yeah, Eminem,
Doctor Dre Fitty sent and Dandy g one thing. I
told Cavino, I can't I can't take the image. Seriously,
can you picture Eminem? Even though he's such a great

(32:50):
dad to his daughter, Haley. Can you picture him slow
dance into like butterfly kisses or something like eminem seems
too cool to do any of that.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Stuff, yeah, I said, But I said, bump the slow
dance and you got to crank the music up. So anyway,
where was this that? Anyway was this? Where was this wedding?
I didn't know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Sorry, man, let me tell you something.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
I ain't want to be invited. Man, me and him
are kind of adverse everies. Anyway, Man for the throne,
you know what I'm saying. So trust, trust, and believe,
and m got his got his little throne. But I
got to make sure my throne.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Is a master, all right. So get to the meet. Yeah,
let's what's the what's the meat the NFL.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
Let's get to the NFL and then we go to
the playoffs. Real quick, go to the NFL. I didn't
want to ask you guys this question. If you're real
connoiseurs of real gaming and nflers, what do you think
about that two hitted monster that's going to be over
there in the Ravens in the run game. I mean,
a two hitted monster that can possibly get two thousand
yards combined together with Lamar and with Henry. But I

(33:53):
say they're going to need another monster over there, some
type of two hitted monster over there. As far as
the wide receiver, I stay bringing Antonio Brown.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Antonio Brown is in the news today as well. He
filed for bankrupt He filed for bankruptcy. So Antonio Brown
would take anything, So Racide, thank you for the call.
You know what.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Concise for Racida. I like what he calls something.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
As far as Baltimore goes, business ain't booming. It's it's
interesting to think Derrick Henry with Lamar Jackson in that team.
It could be, it could be ridiculous, it could not be.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
We don't know yet.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
That's the thing, Like you know, all of a sudden,
we watch Week one to be like, yo, they're unstoppable.
When you mix up that downhill run game of a
big beast like Derreck Henry and then Lamar's elusiveness and
ability to also throw the football.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
It could be unstoppable or it just might not click.
We don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
And that's why we want to get to Aaron Rodgers next,
because I want to talk about expectations.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Dany g before we get into Aaron Rodgers and some.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Quarterback stitches in the NFL stitches you couldn't fit in
the situations. You're right, as I said it, I wanted
to bunch myself quarterback situations. Hold on, het me slap myself.
I started watching a show did really sucks? I know
Kenny Dich would always say, I don't know if it's
like trying to be cool or way he goes. I
made a reservation. I could say, shun was just too

(35:15):
much reservation?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Where bro? Sorry?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I sorry, I got the riz that you don't have, Danny.
I started watching a show with the WiFi that you recommended.
I know it's not Friday and it's not weekend hobnobbin,
but last night I watched three episodes of The Big
Door Price. Oh yeah, and I'll tell you what get
you thinking?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
What a show? Huh?

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
It's uh.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
I would say it's one of the most what's the
word I read? It makes you think about your own
life through the characters on that TV show. And not
every show you watch really make We watch a lot
of senseless reality TV, so not a lot of shows
make you have critical thinking like that one.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah, and you know what it applies honestly two sports.
And I'll tell you why because the show Big Door.
What is the Big Door Price? The Big Door Price,
it's a machine that gives you a car in a telephon.
The morpho let you know the full potential of your life.
And when you think of sports, it's like the greatest

(36:18):
example of circumstances, luck, timing everything where there's a different
timeline where Tom Brady was Shannon Sharp's criticism to Shaquille
and the Ole in their recent beef that he didn't
maximize his fullest potential and if he did, he would
have been an even more unstoppable force with more championships
and MVPs. I mean, there's a world in which Drew

(36:41):
Bledsoe didn't get laid out and Tom Brady never got
that chance.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
There's a world where that scenario.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
You know, like if you think Butterfly, So it's a
good show if you need something new to watch, because
I know right now sort of a lull in TV,
you'll you watch Ashley Madison documentary and fight with your
spouse about.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
It and rich wait till you see the blonde girl
in town that gets the card explore.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Oh I can't wait. She she has an interesting thought
on how to make that her potential.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
I'm excited to watch, all right, Willison, where you can
watch this Stenhouse Kyle Bush fight.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
I like that one, the ball, the NASCAR brawl, the ages.
I see that. I don't want to sound like a caveman,
but fights in sports are so good. I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
When you see baseball players, even in football, when guys
are hitting each other in the helmet, which seems meaning
was like punching helmets.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I don't know why.

Speaker 8 (37:29):
I just it.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
It excites me to see a sports fight.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
I mean, people go to hockey games and NASCAR events
to see crashes and fights.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Let's be honest.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Yeah, there's a NASCAR series on Netflix and they do
it like twenty four to seven style. Oh really, And
just the tension you feel between some of the drivers. Man,
it's what drives that sport really.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Shake and bake. All right.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Aaron Rodgers talking about a controversial guy. Aaron Rodgers. I
want to talk expectations, but let's clear something up. We
talked before about how this present, an actual election is
going to get people fighting and confused.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I mean, it is, it really is. It's gonna be
a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
You might want to take yourself off of Facebook because
that's where it gets the weakest.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
And Twitter X.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
I would say Facebook, but Facebook because it's like your
family members are involved too, and you're like ugh and
all of a sudden, like your high school friend and
your aunt are arguing andres to stop with your political
opinion Doug from high school? Am my a my aunt Sharon?
Or fighting on Facebook? I know it's all stop it.
But r f K Junior, the third party candidate, will
not have a big enough percentage to join in on

(38:34):
the fun debates. But there was the rumor that his
VP candidate could have very well been Aaron Rodgers. And
this is what Aaron said about it.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
How seriously did things get up with RKA about being.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
A running man?

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Obviously we having kind of chances off he.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Says that can watch.

Speaker 10 (38:52):
Yeah, I love Bobby.

Speaker 11 (38:53):
We had a couple of really nice conversations. But there
were really two options. It was retired and be his VP,
or keep playing. And I want to keep playing.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
You know, do you think that if RFK Junior had
a real shot, That's what I was gonna say, you know,
if there was a real chance to make a change
and help lead this country.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
And it was a real chance at that.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
That would have been a more honorable, you know, situation
for him to be in then playing football, right, but
there was no shot. There was no shots. He made
the right choice give up football to to not have
a shot at being vice president or like what if
Aaron Rodgers was asked to be the VP for Trump
or Biden?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Different story?

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Will the politics line up? You know, would that have
been a possibility. So yeah, I would have been a
different story. Unfortunately those are the two guys you got
to deal with now. He also said, because this is
almost a triple doozy of Aaron Rodgers news because, as
Dan Bayer said, no restrictions at practice after the Achilles tear,
no restrictions. So he's feeling good, he's playing well, and

(40:02):
he loves football more than the opportunity of not re
let's just say running as VP.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Because he would have had no chance to win.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Now, the next tier of this is all right now
that he's back on the field. I just wanted to
get that RFK thing out of the way because he
finally addressed it. But now that he's a full participant
year two, it's almost like last year was a sad mulligan. Right.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Take two. Last year was like the worst case.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Scenario for any Jets fan, right, like, almost it's almost
comical him running out there at the USA flag four
plays later.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Like really, that's it?

Speaker 8 (40:42):
What?

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, that's the weakest.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
So it's it almost seems like a comic Almost sounds
like a comical nightmare for Jets fans. So now that
that's all side year two, Take two, the team made
some improvements. The Zach Wilson arras behind us. Throw Aaron
Rodgers in there. You got some weapons. Now, what what

(41:06):
is the expectation, whether you're a Jets fan or just
a football fan in general. I talked to my brother
during the break exactly where they were. My brother hit
me up during in the AFC. Yeah, my brother hit
me up during the break and he's like, you gotta
talk about Aaron Rodgers. Hey, Jimmy, haven't talked to my
brother in a minut I go, what do you think
he's high on it? He goes, Aaron Rodgers is going

(41:27):
to be added to a team that was good, that
had trash in the quarterback's position. So my brother think
be better than the Dolphins and the Bills, Dolphins, he thinks,
and they know and I steel I feel like maybe
the Dolphins take a little step back and the Bills
are solid.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
And I would you be shocked if the Jets win
ten or more games. I would not.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
But here's the question I got to ask for the
people playing along at home, they were seven and ten
last year. You think they're under five? What are the
no I think they're pretty much where they are.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Maybe eight wins? You so you think under five hundred
for Aaron rod under five? Yeah? Probably?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah, I think just just about five hundred, little under
five hundred.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
What are the.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Realistic expectations? Because the third part of the Aaron Rodgers'
situation here is that he's saying he loves the pressure.
Not only does he love football, but he loves the pressure.
Take a listen.

Speaker 11 (42:21):
If I don't do what I know I'm capable of
doing that, we're all probably going to be out of here.
So I like that kind of pressure. Though it's a
tough market to play in. It's not for everybody. I
realist that opportunity.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
He wants it. He likes the pressure.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
David Bowie style, Billy Joel style, sir sly he welcomes
the pressure. So what does a successful Aaron Rodgers season
look like to you? Eight seven, seven, nine nine on
Fox Danny g the realistic expectation and what does it
look like to us? What the expectation is. He's playing

(42:57):
in New York, they're paying him big money, He's Aaron Rodgers.
The expectations is playoff or bus that's the way. So
you're saying playoff for absolutely.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Of the playoffs?

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Yeh, I don't think that's the So you think those
are two separate questions. You think ten and seven Jets
team that loses in the wildcard rounds as a fail.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yeah, I feel like they need to go deeper into
the play.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
I think it needs to be mahomes Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers,
Jets like like divinion around him in at the tail
end of his career to not do that. So you're
thinking a divisional weekend in the AFC should look like this,
mahomes Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, yeah,

(43:38):
ding ding ding, those are the expectations. I just don't
think that'll happen. And Joe Burrow's hair, by the way,
Joe Burrow's hair am I rooting against him? Not, I'd
be awesome to see. But I still think, you know,
even though they made improvements for whatever reason, just like
the Knicks still were the Knicks when it all came
down to it, the Jets will be the Jets.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Man.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
I think they're going to be better than they might be,
just as good as the dolphin. They're not gonna get
past Buffalo, so well, hold on, let me, let me,
let me throw something at you. This will take two minutes,
but I think it's a fun exercise. Squaw thrusts go.
I'm kidding, kurpies, a fun exercise. I heard our pals,
Jason Fitz and Gargano, the fellas. I was listening to them,

(44:18):
what's up, fella. My drive from Eugene to Portland, I
happen to catch those dudes, great guys, Gargano and Jason Fitz,
great dudes. And they were going game by game of
the Chargers schedule. And I know it's so hard, the
season and preseason hasn't even begun. But if we just
take a casual look at the Jets season and say

(44:40):
win loss, win lots. Sure, let's let's just do that,
and then we'll move on, because I'm curious if we
play it out that way, strength of schedule, wise and
Danny I was Sam dan Byer correct, as if you
feel like we're way off, Okay, let's try to get
a consensus. Forty nine Ers loss, right, yeah, no way
you would think so. At the Titans, I think that's

(45:01):
a win. Yeah, it could be at home against the Patriots.
Win at home Pats, yeah, at home against the Jets,
at home against the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I think that's a win. At the Vikings in London. Well,
it's the London game. You never know about London games.
Let's just give it the benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Four and one Bills, No. Four and two Steelers, we
don't know. That's a tough one. I mean we're talking
about the quarterbacks the win. Five and two, give him
the win, all right, Patriots?

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Do they?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
It's no longer Belichick, So it's a bad Patriots seems so, alright.
Six and two Texans, I'll give them a loss. Cardinals,
I'll give them a win. Now there's seven and three.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Colts. I think they got that. No, Richardson healthy, all right,
we'll give him.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
All right, we'll give him a loss. But We'll give
him a win at home against the Seahawks. Then they
played the Dolphins. Let's let's split it with the Dolphins
one and one. Let's say they lose to the Jags,
they lose to the Rams, win against the Jags.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
We'll get it ten and ten and seven, eleven and six.
Is that fair?

Speaker 8 (46:18):
Like?

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Just to what with the would they the most casual
of It's fair like.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
We're also guessing that Aaron Rodgers stays healthy again, no
restrictions at practice.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
That was the update today. Give her take.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
I mean, I know it's a it's a big but
I know, Cavino, it's a ridiculous look six months in
the future, but based on what we know from last season,
what's happened.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
No, that's a fair look, right, dandy.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yeah, I could see ten and seven, ten and seven
playoff team, and you're right for it to be considered successful,
though they would need to be a little better than
that or win in the first round and at least
be able to say the Jets won a playoff game
with a guy they spent forty to fifty million dollars
on at the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
I'm the positive.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
I love the two things he's quoted as saying in
the p twenty four hours though, you know, the choice
to continue playing football was easy for him as opposed
to getting into politics, and it's because he loves football.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
I love football.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
That's great to hear. He's you know, older now in
the game of football, he still loves it.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
That's what you want. I love the pressure.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Well, guess what, there's gonna be a lot on you
this year because everyone waited an extra year for you
to be healthy and the expectations are high. He loves
the pressure. That's what you want to hear. He's going
to thrive under this New York pressure. That's great New
So I'm wishing all the best for him. I'm thinking
closer to five hundred rich as opposed to ten and seven.

(47:38):
But we'll see Dan Bayer. Anything anything stick out to you.
Are you and Aaron Rodgers optimistic? Are you thinking under
five hundred like Convenice?

Speaker 7 (47:46):
No, I'm not an I don't think it's under five hundred.
I just the expectations you guys plunted out earlier last
year at this time, I think Super Bowl was something
that they would have hoped for and maybe wasn't too
far out of the realm of possibility, but just even
his own health, even though he's doing stuff at practice.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
I think playoffs is what you got to expect.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Remember the year behind, Like had he played last year,
they would have probably played over five hundred football. We
think they would have built that chemistry looking to be
in better position this year they're starting.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
It's almost like take one.

Speaker 7 (48:23):
This is take one, even though it's really take two
with a guy who's got now injured achilles, I have
no idea on how he's going to respond to that.
So I think I think playoffs especially too, because of
their playoff drought that they have, which I believe is
the longest in the NFL. And so just to just
to be able to if you could just knock that
hurdle aside or you know, jump over that hurdle, it's

(48:45):
probably the better analogy, I think is what we should
ask for the Jets this year.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
And all the growing pains we would have saw last
year and all the you know, working out the kinks
and creating a chemistry we're gonna see this year.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
Now.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Earlier today, we saw a story that I think everyone
saw on social media yesterday. Man, it was everywhere yesterday
was everywhere this morning, and I looked in my inbox
and it turns out that the mom in this story
has been a longtime listener of our show. I love
that and she's like, hey, did you see this. I'm like, yeah,
I did. Why She's like, that's my son, and I

(49:25):
was like, well, your son has a set of huevos.
We're talking about one of the greatest promposals in recent history. Now,
if you don't know, these prom posals are next level,
extra and elaborate nowadays, So how do you compete in
this world? How do you let this young woman know
that you want to take her to the prom? And

(49:45):
the coolest way possibly if some of the old heads
don't know. Nowadays, kids don't just ask each other to
the problem. There's like an elaborate like display a love
or affection, like a you know, something showy.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
It's like a gender reveal. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
And there's a kid named Jake Portella in Jersey that
pulled off possibly the coolest one ever. We have him,
his girlfriend and the mom on the phone. Let's say
first hello to Lauren. Hi, Lauren, how are you?

Speaker 8 (50:13):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (50:13):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Lauren? First of all, thanks for listening, I heard you
you like you're a fan of our show, and we love.

Speaker 8 (50:18):
You for that very much.

Speaker 10 (50:20):
A long time Carl here, Well.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Not only were we pumped to see the story, we
were extra prompt to know that you know, you're the
mom of the kid who came up.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
With this crazy plan.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Now, yes, I want to talk to Jake too about well,
how he came up with the plan, but when he told.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
You about it, what were your thoughts?

Speaker 1 (50:39):
And again otherwise, what to get Bryce Harper to ask
his girlfriend to the prom? Well, I was.

Speaker 10 (50:49):
Impressed that he was willing to go to such great lengths.
I mean, he told me that it had to be
a proposal, and I was like, do you want me
to go to the store? You know he mentioned to
like Philly's. I'm like, can you get like some Philly swag?
And he was like, no, no, no, that will not do.
And uh and he you know, he definitely really up

(51:10):
the ante here.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
You know, I would have been impressed if he got
the Philly fanatic to show up. You know, yeah, he
was thinking big. You gotta give him credit for it.

Speaker 10 (51:19):
I was gonna get like balloons or something like Philly
balloons or like a fuff animal and he definitely, you know,
he definitely had bigger dreams than I did.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
So if you want to hand the phone over to Jake,
your son, he's right here.

Speaker 12 (51:31):
He's right here, Jake.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (51:34):
Man?

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Now?

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Tell us how this all went down, because we've seen
the video of Bryce Harper. Did you go to Bryce
Harper's house?

Speaker 12 (51:40):
Yeah, I'm just knocked on his door.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
I mean that's.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Bold, dude, you got you gotta tell me like the mindset?
Did you ask your mom if you if you thought
if she thought it was a good idea? Did you
ask anybody? Did you just boldly go there?

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Yeah? How'd you get the address? And like, what was
the thought process here?

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (51:58):
Well, I know someone who's his neighbor who like, so
I was basically just thinking of a Phillies player to
get Yeah, because she's a big Philly fan. And my
one friend happens to be neighbors with Bryce Harper, and
he was like, he's a cool guy. You know, you
might as well try.

Speaker 10 (52:13):
And he lives we live in the same town, so
it's that kind of helps to sort of know things
because we all live in the same town.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Yeah, but I imagine like his house is hard to
get to know, Like do you ride your bike there?

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Like high school? A high school senior, So you drove
over there. Knock, knock, knock. Bryce Harper answers the door.

Speaker 12 (52:35):
Jake, Yeah, it was him.

Speaker 8 (52:37):
I was a little shocked.

Speaker 12 (52:38):
I thought he's gonna like send someone else answer the door.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
But dude, wait, hold on, you weren't nervous. I would
have been so nervous to do this.

Speaker 12 (52:45):
I wouldn't say the nerves didn't kick in until he
actually agreed to do it, because I went into it
with like low expectations, Right, maybe I might as well
just like try my best, and I was pretty confident
with it. I'd say, hey, but once you said yes.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
That was yes nervous Jake, correct me if I'm wrong here,
because I did talk to your mom, Lauren. I was
told that, like your initial thought was maybe to exchange
information so you guys could coordinate like a later date.
Like that was sort of where you were going for, right,
And then what happened?

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Yeah, So yeah, my.

Speaker 12 (53:20):
Original goal was to like like schedule for the next
couple of days and make a poster in time.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (53:26):
I was like, oh, that's like tradition to make a poster. Yeah,
but he gave me the opportunity. He was like, let's
just do it right now. And I couldn't turn that down.
So I figured, I don't think a poster matters for this.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
No, So he was just there chilling.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
He's like, let's go now then, and how far away
with like how far away is is Julia's house?

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Like where he was down for that?

Speaker 12 (53:47):
Only a couple of blocks? Yeah, real short drive. Wow.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
So it just all sort of logistically worked out perfect
for you. And did you interrupt his workout dinner? Was
he watching American Idol or something like?

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (53:59):
What was he doing?

Speaker 12 (54:01):
I honestly have no idea. He didn't seem busy or anything.
I mean I had to go on a day obviously
when they weren't playing, so I thought I'd have the
best chance of him answering.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Hey, dude, on a serious note, like we were talking
about we were talking about Joe Burrow's hair and his
flow and how handsome he looks and everything earlier, like
when you see Bryce Harper, you're a young guy. When
you see Bryce Harper open the door and he's got
that beard and that jolly and that main are you
just like sort of like, whoa, that's Rice Harper.

Speaker 12 (54:32):
Yeah, no, he's Yeah. I guess one way to say
is like intimidating, especially when he just opens the door
and you're just staring right at him.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Oh god, it's Bryce Harper. So me thought you were
selling cookies yourself. Yeah, I'll sponsor your run walk, So
you got Bryce Harper. And then he agrees to go
right now, go with you to your girlfriend's house. Now,
your girlfriend's on the phone. Put on Julia if you
don't mind, Julia. You answer your door and there's your boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
But he he has Bryce Harper with him.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:03):
Yeah, I have to say, the first thing I saw
was Bryce Harper, and then my world was immediately blown.

Speaker 10 (55:12):
I had to shut the door really quick to recalibrate.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
Oh back up again, and I just was absolutely hysteric,
immediately started crying.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Now, now this video is everywhere and the reaction and
Bryce Harper, this whole thing is so priceless. So I mean,
no matter what you're checking, ESPN, Fox Sports, please, it's
everywhere right now, so definitely check it out. But I
want to know, like, were you sort of taken back,
like were you sure it was him? Did you think
it's an imposter, Like did you know it was him
when you saw him? And did you get any sort

(55:43):
of warning like we're on our way?

Speaker 5 (55:46):
I saw.

Speaker 6 (55:47):
Oh, I had absolutely no warning. But I mean, how
could he really? I mean, it happened so quickly that
you know, it just really was a complete complete surprise.
But you know, I just saw I saw the mark
under Bryce's eye and I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
That's him, Julie mark. He was wearing his eye black birthmark.

Speaker 5 (56:12):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Yeah, Julie, I can only imagine.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Is it safe to say your your boyfriend, Jake, your dude,
may have given you a top five proposal of all time?

Speaker 2 (56:21):
This is this goes down right, I mean in the
in the books.

Speaker 6 (56:23):
I mean, I think it's top two.

Speaker 10 (56:26):
And it's not number two.

Speaker 6 (56:27):
I really don't know how.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Especially considering you're you're such a big Phillies fan. Oh
and you know what I noticed too. So Bryce asks
if you'll go to the prom with Jake, and you
hug Bryce first?

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah, you hugged Bryce first. I don't blame you, but
tell me your thought process.

Speaker 6 (56:50):
It's Bryce Harper, like the chosen one standing in front
of you.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
You're like you're not going to try to You're not
going to try to, like.

Speaker 6 (56:58):
You know, if he's real, you know what.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
I think there's a great story, Julie Jake. One last question.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yeah, because when she asks he asked her to the
promlemt she says, yes, everybody hugs and everything. It appears
that maybe your dad comes out to shake the hand
of Bryce Harper.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
How cool was that?

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Your dad must your dad must have been in shock, like,
why is Bryce Harper in my porch?

Speaker 5 (57:24):
Mark? Mark is here?

Speaker 12 (57:25):
Who's Julia's dad?

Speaker 5 (57:27):
And I'm that who's Jake's dad?

Speaker 6 (57:28):
And we have no clue what the hell.

Speaker 8 (57:30):
We've done here?

Speaker 2 (57:32):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
And I guess everybody's just hitting you up since because
it's gone so viral. It must be a cool feeling.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 9 (57:39):
It was.

Speaker 5 (57:39):
It was surreal seeing him standing there. Uh and uh,
you know, I just wanted to shake his hands.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
And that's part of the clip. And Jake.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
I give all the credit to Jake for having the
thought to do this, h the confidence to knock on
his door, to make this happen for Julia, to make
her real special. What was the little one on one
you had with Bryce?

Speaker 5 (58:03):
You know?

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Before he went on his way, did he wish you
good luck? Like, did you say thank you? What was
the little one on one interaction?

Speaker 12 (58:10):
I mean, you know, he's a busy guy. He got
out of there really fat. Oh yeah, basically he walked
out and I was like, thanks so much, man, like
I appreciate it, Like you really just like made my entire.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Year with this.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
It's the coolest Jake, You're the man, Lauren, thanks for
being a listener, and Juliet, I have a great time
with the prom You have the coolest proposal story of
all time. Now and as a Mets fan, I hate
to say it. Your phillies, phillies, Your phillies are.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
So damn good. They are so damn good.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
And I know, well, let me tell you your team.
Your team's the best in the National League. And Bryce
Harper's really likable dude. So hey, congrats and we'll chat soon. Okay, guys,
okay later, thank you, thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
And again, Bryce Harper couldn't get any cooler.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I think he's one of the most underrated stars in
the MLB, and this makes me like him even more.
