Speaker 1 (00:02):

Speaker 1 (00:22):
You know, I would say, I'm just hit that clip
from because even ESPO, when they're calling highlights of the
Mets are now pointing out Grimace.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
You know, there's nothing a little McDonald's can't fix, even
the New York Mets.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
They go from.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Major disappointment to maybe the hottest team in baseball at.

Speaker 6 (00:36):
All it Tuck was Grimace.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
All Tug was Grimace.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
So since Grimace throughout the first pitch at a Mets
game as some silly promotion, the Mets are five and zero,
they've won eight or the last ten.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
They're actually clicking.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
All the pieces that you thought were going to be
a potential wildcard team, Pete Alonzo Lindor, the addition to JD. Martinez,
guys like Brandon Nemo only starting to play, and as
you would say, Cavino, well we are only sixty seventy
games into the season.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, it's a long season. Not to sound cliche, but
it's true. It's a long season. Not even at the
halfway mark. We're not at the All Star break or anything.
So they could totally turn it around. If I was
another team in the dumps, I'd look for the Hamburglar
and see what he was up to. Maybe he could
throw out a first pitch to switch out the luck.
Maybe the Fries guys, guys come out of retirement or something.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
And this really is like the plot line to like
a Major League seven. Yeah, well, like Grimith signs on
as some sort of promotion and that they just go
on a tear spot.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
It's a Cavino is the first one to point out,
so I'll be putting the words back in his mouth.
Every team that has a little fun with the fans,
whether they go on a playoff run or not, there's
only some type of spark, whether it's a mascot, a slogan,
a team phrase, there's only something.

Speaker 7 (01:52):
A cowboy up theory. Yeah, the cowboys need a rally cry.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
He needs something to rally around, rally monkey he or
maybe it's a player or the death of somebody unfortunately,
whatever brings the people and the fans together, and for
some strange reason, it's this stupid Grimace thing, and it
was a cool T shirt to go along with it, right.

Speaker 7 (02:12):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's interestingly enough, some of our old pals when we
worked on the air in New York and worked at
sn Y and we're on the radio in New York City.
Some of our whole coworkers, like Salacata and some of
those real New York sports guys are mad about.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
It, Like why you're giving Grimace the credit?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
The metsa fundly play well and stupid grim I'm like,
stupid Grimace.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Let the fans roll with it.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
If they're making funny memes of Grimace poking his head out,
if they're making funny memes of Pete, Alonzo and Lindor
like chilling with Grimace. Like to me, any silly thing
that could get the fan base interested for an otherwise
disappointing first seventy plus games, Like what do you assume
the fans should latch onto this with all their might?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Like, yes, yeah, Grimis.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Hold on to whatever works, you know, don't disrupt it,
let it flow, ride it out, have fun with it.
And I think it took a lot of edge and
a lot of pressure off.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
Of the Mets.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
And if the fans are having fun with this, just
keep on rolling. And I think it's a story of
hope too, because Grimace has been getting a lot of shine. Look,
the McDonald's brand sort of steered away from Ronald, and
we've discussed this. Ronald is not the guy. When's the
last time you saw Ronald McDonald? No, right, And there's
reasons for that. Kids were scared of clowns, and clowns

(03:27):
were getting bad press. And in the past few years,
you got the Grimace shake that people raved about. You
didn't have a Ronald shake. You had that Grimace shake
that everybody loved. You have Grimace now the face of
the Mets. People loving it, so hey is to comeback
for Hey? Maybe Grimace was the star of the whole time.
Huh As see what I'm saying. You're right, You're right.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Last year, as you pointed out, you can't forget the
Grimace shake, and McDonald's had people making viral videos. It
was a hit that they didn't think would be a hit.
And now with the Mets, you're right, could it be
the Grimace was the Steve Ark, the Fawns, the Hidden
the Hidden Star the whole time.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
What is Grimas anyway?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's a purple blob. I don't know what's he supposed
to be supposed to be?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Can you look it up?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Honestly? What is Grimace? Is he a purple chicken nugget?
I heard he's not no zempic now, so he's not.
He's losing weight. But I like fat Grimace.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
I know what he is. What he is a grape
flavored dot, they do.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
But Grimace lore says he is the embodiment of a
milkshake or a taste bud.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
I mean, those are two completely different things. Purple.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I don't stretch, but I will say the Mets are
playing well. And I'm not a fair weather fan, but
I can't say it doesn't have me a little more
interested when the team finally starts playing the way it
should play, and.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
You can say it is. It's always some sort of
gesture too.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
If someone gets a hustle double and they're slide into second,
it's like they're they're grinding the pepper, they're giving the
thumbs down or something. They're doing a claw, like all
these little things they're gimmicky and their corny. But sometimes
those are the team building exercises that build the camaraderie,
the truth and started us. Time any team, any office,

(05:15):
any group of guys is struggling, it could be something
stupid like this, that's the catalyst.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
So Covino, it says he started as a bad guy
introduced in nineteen seventy one, the ambiguous blob of a mascot,
Evil Grimace.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
So they got rid of vogel Bach for this guy.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, I was, you know, by the.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Way, I think was designated for assignment. I think he
don't think he's in the bigs right now.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
I think he was.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
But you know what, let me just point out from
a real baseball perspective, J D. Martinez, if he's played
for your team, you know what the guy brings. He's ageless,
He's contributing on a high level. Alvarez back behind the plate.
The Mets have I think a top three catcher in
Major League Baseball, and Alvarez so not only calling games,
but his offense. So Alvarez, JD. Martinez, I'm not the

(06:02):
idiot that's.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Like METSA going all the way.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
But what I am.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Saying is in a cluttered National League. Let me give
you this and we'll move on from the nerdy baseball stats.
But I was saying, Danny G, have you looked at
the National League wildcard standings? I'm being serious, have you?

Speaker 7 (06:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It is silly, it's almost it's almost ridiculous. So these
are all teams that are playing five hundred or slightly
under five hundred baseball as of right now. There's one
wildcard in the NL that seems like they're legit, and
that's the Braves, who are struggling. At thirty eight and
thirty one. People thought they were a clear one hundred

(06:41):
win type of team. Right after that, you have the Cardinals,
the Padres. Let's count these teams, Nationals, three Diamondbacks, four Giants,
five Reds, six Pirates, seven Cubs, eight Mets nine. There
are nine teams within one game of each other.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Did you hear what I said?

Speaker 7 (07:05):
Nine teams in one game? Catch fire? Yeah, that's incredible.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's absurd.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Other than the Colorado Rockies and the Marlins, who are,
as my mom would say, the pits, unless you're the
Rockies or the Marlins. Funny enough, we're both expansion teams
in the same year. Right, whether whether your team stinks
or not, it doesn't matter because you're in it. And
in baseball, what have we seen over the last couple

(07:31):
of years, great teams like the Dodgers and the Braves,
and when the Mets want one hundred games, some of
these teams are getting shut out of the playoffs in
the first round or so because they're just not hot
in that moment. Baseball's not like other sports where the
best team always wins.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
You know what's wide open in the NL right now,
all of a sudden two the MVP race, now that
Bets has a fractured hand.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, Ri I was by far the leader, and I think
Bryce Harper was up there too. So that opens up
a lot of opportunity for other people. And by the way, Dan,
I'm sorry to hear about that.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
Man. I was gonna say, I.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Hope you guys had a tank Davis, Caitlin Clark, Grimace
sort of weekend, not a Mookie Betts sort of weekend.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
A big loss for the team.

Speaker 8 (08:11):
Have to not just Bets. Yamamoto too is out. Yeah,
injured rotator.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Cuff, Yeah exactly that grim News Sam on yourself, Yeah,
Robert said they'll be fine. I like that attitude, like
we're gonna be fine. Baseball teams move on. But on
a personal note, that sucks because he was having an
MVP year and you never really know. And I'm not

(08:37):
rooting against the Dodgers at all, but you never know
because he's such a catalyst, such a major part of
that lineup. Like last year when Judge got hurt, remember
when he stubbed his.

Speaker 7 (08:47):
Toe in LA. That was it.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
They went on a skid after that because it just
shook up the lineup so much. It wasn't the same.
So I'm not wishing that against the Dodgers, but I
think it just goes to show you how long this
season is and how you really never know because you
don't know where the Dodgers go from here. And I
do agree they'll be fine, but you don't know after
major injuries like that, and then you don't know if
teams like the Mets, who are full of stacked major leaguers,

(09:13):
you don't know if they can catch fire with something
goofy like this.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
And the reality is when there's three wildcards now, which
you know, great teams hate because again you're giving a
team that might not deserve to be there a shot.
But if you're a Mets fan or a Cubs fan, Pirates, Reds,
you know, Giants, all teams that are a couple of
games under five hundred, and you're like, you're under five

(09:37):
hundred yet right now, there's ninety to one hundred games
left to play in a baseball season, and you're right there.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
You could almost like you can almost.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Say, let's reset and you got a legit shot, which
is crazy to me because if your team historically was
let's say thirty five and thirty five after seventy games, yeah,
you're probably not making the postseason. Now there's two wildcard

(10:07):
spots that are both gonna be going to roughly five
hundred ball clubs if this pace keeps going, and I
think this is a chance for a team like the
Padres of the Mets or the Giants, where you have
a stacked roster that really underdelivered to say, hey we
got a mulligan, we have a shot right now to
make a playoff push and just get in.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
All you got to do is get in.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
And you have to think they have Birdie the early
bird come out maybe to throw out a first pitch.
Do you remember who Bertie the Early Bird.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Is or I don't, but yes you do.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
That's the thing.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Hold on and not the goofy up this conversation already,
but it really is ever since Grimace throughout the first
pitch and the Mets have been rallying around Grimace.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
They need Grimace t shirts. And it's like, oh, I
did maybe Bertie.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The Early Bird is the female duck with the pigtails.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yes, it looks like a pilot of sorts. I think
she was a pilot. I don't know what she had,
but uh, Birdie the Early Bird was one of those
McDonald's characters with the frying guys, Ronald Grimace, the Hamburglar.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
What I find interesting about.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
It is we grew up with all those characters, but
do they still market any of them to the kids today.

Speaker 7 (11:15):
That's just weird about it. It's like, hold on, doe,
any of the kids even know what that is? What
is that purple blob that everyone's talking about?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Someone unlocked the memory for me the other day. That
was one of those like I would never have thought
about it again in my life until someone mentioned it
because I was talking about how one of my kids
go to McDonald's on occasion, they'll fight over what toy
they get in their Happy meal? Right, do you remember
the happy Meal toy where they were like almost transformers
of these characters, of like the characters and food like

(11:44):
the French the French fries turned into something, the burger
turned into something? Was that the most popular McDonald's toy
of our childhood could be they need to bring all
these characters back. Have you gone into a McDonald's. It's
like going into a sterile labs to be so cool.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
I'm gaw up with these characters. So we know Grimace.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'm just surprised that any of these kids that go
through the game cared at all. And is it the comeback?
Like Sam just alluded to, is it the comeback of
these characters? To me, I'm more sitting there comeback than
the Mets. But hey, I'm not a Mets fan. Yeah,
is this true?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Our buddy Wes in Vegas who listens on there or
our affiliate there, He said, Bubba Wallace's car is also
Grimace related.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Maybe Grimace is the star.

Speaker 7 (12:29):
Maybe he was the star all along.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Well, Hey, just wanted to bring that up. Quick baseball note,
We'll move on to the NBA and some NFL and but.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
You know what it's like, Rich, Honestly, I mean to
relate it to everyday life. It's like that icebreaker, whether
it be at the office like I mentioned before, or
maybe there's some awkwardness in the family, Like every family
needs that icebreaker or that inside joke. It's like that
inside joke that brings people together and they sort of

(13:00):
they use that as the jump off of their friendship
or their relationship moving forward.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
That's what this team needed, and if.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
That's what's working, Like I said, every team needs to
find that.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
I can't disagree with you because team building and fan
you know, and fandom rallying around something is such a
big part of sports and work and everything. Look at
I was Sam. We love I was Sam. We see
him every day, But you know what we really bonded with.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I was Sam.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Some of the dumb inside jokes from our trip to
Eugene organ together. Sure, waiting at the super slow Starbucks,
you know, having some drinks, I was Sam, Like, where the.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hell do you go?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Like all you know, you you build these and that's
you know, that's the recipe for a good clubhouse or
locker room in sports fans rally around inside jokes and stories.
Like you said, a team does some silly thing when
they get a double, a claw or some hand movement.
These are the things fans rally behind. So anyone that's
said the dumber, the better too, because this is about

(13:55):
as dumb as it gets. But that's what makes it funny.
It doesn't dumber even John Mayer. I'm calling out a
random name, John Mayer, who works with us at Serious
six Am. We have mutual friends with John. He has
even been put on social media. I believe how he's
fascinated with this whole Grimeace streak because everyone is tying
Grimace to the Mets, turning it around and listen. It

(14:18):
could be short lived and the Mets counts stink the
rest of the season. But for a team that is disappointed,
not only me, but millions of fans and queens and
Long Island and around the country that are Mets fans,
this little glimmer of five in a row, eight out
of the last ten. If you want to joke and say, hey,
it's Grimace. All Hail Grimace. The Mets even tweeted all
Hail Grimace. So roll with it, have fun with it.

(14:41):
If you want. You know, if you're stick in the
mud and you're like, oh, I don't want to see
a picture of lindor photoshop with Grimace, then you're a jerk.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I don't want to And I'll tell you. You know
who should be worried. Not the nl East, but mister Met.
I would say if I were him, I'd be worried
because what if Grimace starts making his move on miss
is Met since he's the hot thing.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Or mister Mett it's Pride Month. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
What do we know?

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Yeah, but missus stuffy if me got those uh, she's
got a dumpy back there.

Speaker 7 (15:11):
I don't know. Grima is a bit ambiguous.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
How do I trod?

Speaker 7 (15:16):
We know what? Dude? See how we're joking about that?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
For all we know, that's what these guys are joking about.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
Or you know, maybe they.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Know the guy underneath the Grimace uniform, Like maybe there's
fun stuff related to that. That loosened up the clubhouse,
took the pressure off it. They had fun with it.
For all we know, something goofy like that could really
be what changes the mood and vibe of that team.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
And that's what's really cool about that. Hey, and you
know what, on.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
The flip side, something like what happened to Mookie Bets
could change the vibe.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
For the worst.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Like you never know about these things. For all we know,
mister and missus met could maybe they met on thropple.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
Who knows, that could be a possible way.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
But hey, your thoughts if you want to give us
any feedback, always at Covin on Rich. Again, we're going
to get to MBA, We're gonna get to some NFL
off season stuff. But I just thought it was wild
how the NL is so watered down, and you could
argue Garbaggio, but again, something that's.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Fun story, dude, And I'll tell you what. You know,
We're very closely tied to our East Coast roots. I'm
in Jersey right now. We have, you know, Mets fans
and friends that we still talk to all the time.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
It's in our algorithm.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
I don't think everybody is aware of this stupid story,
and it's a real story. So look, we are going
to talk about the Mavericks, you know, that's the big
game tonight. We'll talk about that. But I don't think
anyone else is really focusing on this. So I'm glad
we brought it to life because it's a fun one.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
It just not to say the same thing again, but
just I'll nail it. Give me the hammer so I
can now one more time. Teams work, relationships, family. We
all rally around inside jokes and camaraderie and silly things.
And if the Mets and Grimace could get fans caring
about a team who's under five hundred, who is having

(17:02):
crap attendance, and Steve Cohen's losing the support of all
the fans, like you know, Steve Cohen's gonna turn this around, yo.
They should be stroking Grimace like Grimace. Grimace is uh
the savior? All hell Grimace. They should put up a
statue of Grimace next to Tom Seaver for the next month.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right, I'm just saying it.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
Just make sure there's no shadow.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Know what is What is the Grimace's shadow be?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
What is grim So hey, all hail Grimace, enjoy your
baseball again. You can't argue that the NL is great
outside the Dodgers, who just hit a roadwalk and the Phillies,
who look like they might be the best team in
the NL. The reality is other teams will make the postseason,
and right now there's a pretty cool sense that everyone

(17:49):
from the Cards, the Padres, the Gnats, Diamondbacks, Giants, Cincinnati reds, Pirates, Cubs, Mets,
all those teams right now started today within one game
of a postseason spot. So other than, like I said,
the two miserable places of Colorado and Miami, other than

(18:09):
Rockies fans and Marlins fans, every NL team is sitting
here in June saying.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
We're one game out.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
One game doesn't matter what happened up to this point.
We're one game out, So have at it, enjoy your baseball,
and coming up coming on, I got to ask you
about this. How do you feel about a guy like
Jason Tatum saying, yeah, if we don't win tonight, it's
not the end of the world.

Speaker 7 (18:32):
I don't like that, so we'll don't get too comfortable.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, we'll dissect that a little bit.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
And whether or not you quote unquote want this season
and this series to drag on, or do you think
there's a chance for the Mavericks to make some noise.
We'll get to all that coming up next right here
on Cavino and Rich.

Now, we are gonna play my favorite game. I don't
know about yours. We're gonna play last One Standing in.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Your favorite game is Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player.

Speaker 7 (19:49):
That's my new favorite game.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
We'll play that later this week, but for now, we'll
play that. In a little bit, we'll talk a little NFL.
Patrick Mahomes is in the news and it has to
do with a reunion. I want to get to that story.
But tonight we're looking at a game five Camino. Yeah,
and I want to know first of all, we said
Jason Tatum said, Hey, we don't win. It's not the

(20:12):
end of the world, and they're up three to one,
still Dallas backs against the wall. Is Luca playing for
his legacy tonight? Like I don't want to be embarrassed?
Is it a case of, hey, MAVs annihilated Boston in
Game four? Why can't they keep that momentum like it?

Speaker 3 (20:32):
And you have to assume that maybe Boston takes their
foot off the gas a little bit because they're so
comfortable with the lead. You know, there's so many factors involved.
They take their foot off the gas. The Mavericks have
to win, and then they win by a landslide. But
if you let them back in again tonight and they win,
I don't see how they don't have a different sense

(20:52):
of urgency. Is it the end of the world? No
world goes on. But I wouldn't want to take that chance.
The Mavericks are still a good team.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
The problem is if you give them that sliver of
hope and Dallas gets the victory tonight, then all of
a sudden, the pressure goes on to the Celtics shoulders exactly.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
So why would you?

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I mean, it's a positive way to look at it,
but I don't even like that mindset. I'm saying, you
steal a game in Boston tonight, if you're Dallas, then
you got game six at home, and now all of
a sudden you're feeling confident, like, yo, we just want
two in a row, and you're right.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Then all of a sudden they win that. Then it's
game seven. Everything's on the line one game and then
anything could happen. So again, that's why it doesn't seem likely.
But if they did happen to win tonight, they are
six and a half point underdogs in Boston. Boston's a
heavy favorite at home, which they should be, but stranger
things have happened. And I do wonder in scenarios like this,

(21:44):
do you like when the team that's down Big Danny
drags on the series or is there a party that's
like just ended and let's move on.

Speaker 8 (21:50):
I like it to drag on, drag out, yeah, because
I mean, I watched so many NBA games through the season.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
I don't want to see it end exactly yet, especially
like that.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I was reading article earlier today about how this has
historically been a you could argue an upsetting year for
the NBA. Some rough telecasts the series haven't been great,
all of them. Plus inside the NBA made the announcement
that they're done, and Barkley just announced his retirement, so
it's sort of arguably a forgettable NBA final.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
So maybe we want a little excitement.

Speaker 8 (22:23):
Well, I think I think Cove, you know, I think
Luca made this up. He said it's not over till
it's over.

Speaker 7 (22:29):
I think he did. Yeah, they were Yogi or it's
one of them, Jo, But yeah, of course. But I'm
with you, Danny g All.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
The way man drag it out from a selfish standpoint
gives us something you have.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
No if you're not a Celtics fan, why wouldn't you.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Want to see him drag it out and pushing to
the limits here. I absolutely want to see that.

Speaker 9 (22:50):
You know.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
I'll give you one terrible analogy and then we'll go
to our best Bud Dan Buyer for an update. Sometimes
you think a lead and listen because historically a three
old lead, it doesn't You don't come back from.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
That, but but you do, and there's always a first.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Like we've all done it, and even dumb things like
rex sports, like you could be playing, you know, pick
up basketball at someone, or you can playing softball and
you're up by ten runs, and all of a sudden,
instead of trying to score on a double from second,
you like, yeah, i'll stop a third, I'll be polite.
And then you're like, you know what, you know, unless
you're up by twenty five runs or your u But

(23:25):
that's why, like sometimes when people say, is is it
wrong to pile on or not? Points wise? And I'm
always torn on that because anyone could come back like
I don't like the idea of taking your foot off
the guests too soon.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Exactly right, So I would like to see the Mavericks
drank it out tonight.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
To answer the question, all right, let's go to Dan Bayer,
what's going on.

Speaker 11 (23:46):
I do think the other team needs to wave the
white flag like they're not going to try, like they
understand it's over. Then you can stop at third. But
like the Mavericks are going to keep trying, and the
Celtics should obviously keep trying.

Speaker 7 (24:00):
I hope everybody got a chance to relax.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Enjoy a cookown of barbecue surveys up perhaps, and I
hope you had a Gervante tank Davis Benavidez sort of
weekend Caitlin Clark with twenty three points and it went
over the sky sort of weekend. By the way, they
play again on Sunday this coming weekend in Chicago, so
that'll be interesting.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
You think Angel Reese got some juice behind what she said?
When do you think she has any right to say
that some people have their own special whistle?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Insinuating as toutely not. She took her head off.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
What is she talking about?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
That was like a that was like a Marty Janetti
Rockers clothes line. That was like a that was like
a Holkster clothes line.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I'm not saying it was deliberate, but it was aggressive.
It was clearly a foul. So there was no special whistle.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
I mean, we all know I was Sam's feelings.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I was Sam off the airs that Angel reas suspended
for the year, right, I did not say that.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
And by the way, hopefully you had.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
A Stallion's type of weekend, Yo, Stellion, the Birmingham Stallions.
They won the UFL championship, And uh, you know, I'm
not trying to sound rude. I didn't even I was
unaware that the season had come to an end that quickly.
I knew the championship happened this weekend. I'm like, ohyeah,
me who won?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
So I had a wild Stallions type of weekend.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
Did you guys see Tom Brady was down there on
the field reporting during the championship, really getting some reps in. Yeah,
he walked up to the booth, he went down with
a mic.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
How do he look?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Do you look like skinny like Tom Brady?

Speaker 6 (25:31):
Handsome?

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Some squid word a little bit, yeah, something like that.
But yeah, Hey, so hey Birmingham Stallions. They're saying that
there's gonna be you know, there'll be guys that use
that league effectively and they'll they'll get tryouts for teams
and it'll it'll be it'll be used in an effective way.
So I just wonder if people actually pay attention to

(25:56):
the games other than just have a beg great tape
for these guys, because right now, just great tape for
these guys to you know, pitch their you know, their
NFL teams with their agent.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
You know.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
I'll be honest, I had it on, Rich I had
it on.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
I wasn't Yeah, I had it on, but I wasn't
really watching it, you know. And if it gets your
attention and good, if you enjoyed it anning great, but
I did have it on, so yeah, I hope you
had a stallion.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
Absolutely sort of weekend.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
And again the sad story about Mookie Bett's hand fracture,
broken hand. He's out until further notice, no sign of
him coming back anytime soon. But we're live from the
ti raq dot com studios and we got last One
Standing next hour again your chance to win some prizes
here on the show, giving away some swiggies.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Plus we already talked about the Mavericks.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
But I am excited about the game tonight, probably going
out with some friends here in Jersey since I'm in
town to watch the game.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
Even more reason to say why not drag it out?
Just gives you something to do.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Well, because if they win tonight, then the intrigued is like, oh,
game six in Dallas, then you start they just start playing.
You know, these old mind games are yourself like, and
then they could push a game seven and then.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Who yeah, but dude, if they win convincingly like they
did a last game, yea, then it's like mate, whoa
momentum shift a little bit and you don't know what
porzingis is up to, so you know, anything could be
a momentum shift. We discussed that with your mets, like
how they turned it around out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, we're gonna get to all that.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
And like you said, some last ones standing, did you
go to and I'm asking the general you anyone want
to chime in or Danny g Sam Dan Bayer Cavino spot.
Did you guys go to any of your high school
or college reunions?

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yes, you should unless you're a weenie, unless you have
some weird, crazy resentment. And I noticed probably people in
the studio like, no I didn't go. Yeah, I want
to know the story. I do, because if you're sort
of pumped and you had friends and you're doing well,
then why wouldn't you go for a good time, unless,
of course, you live on the other side of the
world and it's just not worth your money. I do

(28:01):
understand that that's understandable, That is totally understandable. But I say, yes,
I went to my ten year high school reunion. I
went to my twenty high school reunion. Rich and I
hate to date myself, but believe it or not, I
know you're thinking, dude, you.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Look so great.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
How in the world could you have your thirty year
reunion coming up, and I do why know that sounds gross?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
We're way younger, I know.

Speaker 7 (28:24):
Isn't that gross?

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Guy?

Speaker 7 (28:25):
Yeah, it's gross. And I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
I haven't heard of people about it. But if they
were to do it, why wouldn't I go?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Damn by you were? You raised your hand?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
There?

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Did you go?

Speaker 9 (28:34):
Or no?

Speaker 11 (28:35):
I was a weenie according to Cavino, because I didn't go.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
There is wen biby.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'll tell you why, Dan, Because let's say we went
to school together. It'd be great to see you man,
just for that minute. And I know closed the yearbook.
Who cares? With social media? You see people? And if
I didn't care about you, then why do I care
about you now? I don't know something brings you together.
It's like that brat Pack documentary. They hadn't seen each
other in third years, but there was something there that still.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
Had them. Had they shared a moment together? Yeah, that
was the moment.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I guess a lot of people do say if I
didn't care about you, then what do I care about
you now?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
And I hate that mentality. And I'll tell you why.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Because we all grow, we all change, we all mature,
and I'll be honest. I went to my ten year
and a couple of years back when I had my
twenty I went to my twenty and ten, and I
really enjoyed it and say I ended up talking to people,
believe it or not, that I didn't talk too much
in high school.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Which you know, I don't want people to think that
we're the guys who were like super pou. I was
sort of reluctant, like like whatever. But I really did
have a good time. That's the thing I'm coming from
perspective of, you know, I'm glad I went. I'm not
one that's like super excited about it. I'm glad I
went because I had a good time.

Speaker 7 (29:52):
Patrick Mahomes, Actually we're in the middle of that right now.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, you know, before we gets back to Mahomes, I
want to go around the room for a second, sure
and just bring a cup both sports notes up that
I think we'll get people excited in the studio. Number one,
your boy Garrett Cole set for a season debut on Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
Can't wait for that. That's big news.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
If the Yankees aren't good enough already, add Garrett Cole
to the mix.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
You know, the Red Sox had their number over the weekend,
and there was that debate of the Yanks are sitting
pretty right, so do you continue pushing a guy like
Garrett Cole in the minor leagues just to ramp it
up a little bit and take your time with the guy.
But if he's not gaining anything in the minor leagues,
just do you throw him out there? There was that

(30:36):
debate and they're going with him on Wednesday, so.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Well, we talked about my Mets and all held Grimace
the other team. I love the forty nine Ers, Dan Byer,
I'm sure you saw this in your update. Well, you
know they re signed Juan Jennings and their first round
draft pick, Ricky Piersoll Brandon Ayuk saying forty nine Ers
quote don't want me back? Is there any more to

(31:01):
that story other than a.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
There to me?

Speaker 11 (31:04):
I I didn't see that story, and I'm talking as
a newsperson on why I didn't include it because there
was no context to it.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah. I saw that.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
It was like, do you mean this season or permanently?
Are they in negotiations?

Speaker 6 (31:16):
Yeah, he was talking to Jade and Daniels.

Speaker 11 (31:19):
And what was odd was it came from Ayuk's Twitter account,
but he was being filmed on his phone, so somebody
was filming him.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
It just felt very strange.

Speaker 11 (31:30):
I don't And again the offer of the reports were
that they've offered him what twenty six million dollars and
he doesn't want that, So I don't know if that's
really them not wanting.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Him the right amount of money for Ayuk because I
think he is elite, but not top guy elite. So hey, listen,
they were former teammates at Arizona State, Jaden Daniels, Brandon Ayuk.
And again the forty nine ers seem to have backup
plans if him or Debo were to go, because again
they've they've they're pretty forty nine or wide receiver heavy

(31:59):
right now. Yeah, so all right, thank you dB. Now
back to Mahomes. Dan Byer, the weenie by the way,
that didn't go to his reunion.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
According to Cope, well, I had a feeling. I'm not
saying Dan Byer is a weenie at all. Dan Byer
is one of the coolest guys we work with, no doubt,
most knowledgeable, but I have to ask why so, Patrick Mahomes,
here's the backstory, is skipping his reunion and he does
feel bad.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
He's like, send in all my best and my classmates.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I wish you could be there, But the reunions as September,
so you know i'mna be doing my football thing.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
So September White House High School class of twenty fourteen
has the reunion minus the most popular student, Patrick Mahomes.
Guess what, He's got big things going on. He wishes
he could be there. Get a perspective.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
I first thought though, was why not make it during
the Chiefs bye week? And I'm being serious because the
high school could pick that when the reunion is. I mean,
it's not like it's not like the high school like
this is the week.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
This the only week. Like if you want the.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Biggest star from your high school's history to be there,
why don't you ask Patrick?

Speaker 7 (33:05):
When?

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Could you make it right? Exactly right? And he wants
to go. That's why this is a story.

Speaker 7 (33:11):
Now. The whole story is.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Dude, when your kid has a birthday party, you ask
her best friends first, like is this date gonna work
for you? Because we're not gonna have a birthday party
if her best friends aren't there.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
There's always somebody that doesn't make it. He actually wants
to go that's the thing. Yeah, you know, some people
don't go because they're too cool.

Speaker 7 (33:30):
Is Dan Byer too cool? I can't wait to hear again.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Maybe the travel was too much, maybe something was going on.

Speaker 6 (33:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
But Patrick Mahomes wants to go. And he said his
wife's was last year, so she graduated the year before.
She's on year eleven as he goes out to say,
Brittany Mahomes, So you know he'd want to go, but
that's when football starts, so he can't as of now.
And I'm here to say that I'm not one of
those guys that looked forward to going or anything like

(34:00):
that at all. But I did go, and I did
have a good time ten and twenty, and believe it
or not, I graduated high school in ninety four, which
I hate to admit.

Speaker 7 (34:09):
So if they had another one, I'd probably still go.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
And I'm not some raw raw hometown even though I'm
proud to be from Union, New Jersey.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
My family still lives there. You know.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
I'm not some dude who lives through the yearbook and
peaked in high school.

Speaker 7 (34:24):
So I want to go back and relive the glory days.
That's not it.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
I just I don't want to be too cool, and
there is a part of me that's like, yeah, why not?

Speaker 7 (34:33):
Why not? And I want to know why Dan Bayer
didn't go.

Speaker 11 (34:39):
Well, you mentioned travel. I mean mine is back in
Wisconsin and that's I go back probably about two or
three times a year, you know, I get various seasons
and whatnot. So at that point, I think we had
we had a gosh, where my thirtieth is next year,

(35:00):
So I don't even I assume that they had a
twenty fifth. I don't even know if they did or not.
To be honest with you, I think that they had
a twentieth though that I ended up missing. But yeah,
just it wasn't as important to me unfortunately, as as
it is to you, to you guys. And it's nothing
against them, you know, it's not you know, the people
that I still talk to and keep in touch with,

(35:21):
are you know those people? And it's not the well
if I didn't talk to you then and talk to
you now sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
It's just yeah, no, really for you to travel three
thousand miles essentially, I.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Do honestly, Dan, I do understand. Yeah, I understand where
you're coming from. And social media has really changed that. Yeah,
undred percent, our parents would go.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
To their reunions and be like, I didn't see this
person in thirty twenty years, and now it's like you
go on Facebook, you can see him. I get that
angle of it.

Speaker 11 (35:49):
So here's just like I went back to my hometown
once and I was standing in line, and my hometown's
like nine ten thousand people, and I was standing in line.
We have a Walgreens in town, and there was a
girl ahead of me who I went to school with
that I am Facebook friends with that I recognized, but
she didn't recognize me at all. Yeah, and your point

(36:13):
of you guys of like not knowing names and whatnot,
Like I was kind of like, well, if she doesn't
recognize me and we're Facebook friends, and it's probably not
that important to her that I'm randomly in Walgreens. So
I just didn't say anything to that point. And so
that's kind of my point about it, of like I
don't even know if i'd register with half of the

(36:33):
people that were even at the reunion that they have
now it's going on so far that you've kind of
forgot about it.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
There's so many layers to it, whether it's Mahomes or
just you know you or I.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I think that could be.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Out of context too, because sometimes you don't expect to
see people you know in absolutely whatever, So out of context,
you're not really in that mindset of did I know
this guy?

Speaker 7 (36:54):
Do I know this guy? It's all these factors.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
But you know what, your answer is understandable because sometimes
there's a level of resentment sometimes that keeps people away
from these things, and that opens up the conversation to well,
it's not Patrick Mahomes in this case. But there's always
somebody that doesn't show up, whether it be a reboot
of a TV series or like I mentioned before, that
brat Pack documentary rich that I watched over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
It could be a team.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Okay, we're getting together the eighty eight Dodgers, and there's
always someone that sits it out.

Speaker 11 (37:26):
Yeah, there's a difference between the brat pack and the
three hundred kids you went to high school with.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
You're part of the popular brat pack in Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
I'm just I'm just saying, like to go back and
you were Andrew McCarthy to catch ump.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah, there it is the broad bat what it is.
That's fair enough, don't you.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Realize there's always someone that sits it out, like in
that case it was Judd Nelson and Molly Ringwald.

Speaker 11 (37:50):
Yeah, but they're not reuniting with the entire crew and everybody.
So that's that's I mean, there was five or six
of them that all had the pretty much exact same experience.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Well, I think a lot of times, and it is
I'll be honest, if you are of note, and I'm
not saying I am or you are anyone.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
But when you go Patrick Mahomes, well he is.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
He's clearly of note, the most you know, one of
the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
There's a weird stance, Danny G.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Do you feel like if someone doesn't go back, it's
considered one of two things, like, Yo, they think they're
too cool to go, but then if they go, it
could be like look at them showing off, Like I.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
Think it's sort of one of those shind line to walk.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
I missed my ten, but most recently my twenty happened
and they actually asked me to DJ the graduation, so
I went, but I was behind my turntables the whole time.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
So have you working on your bib?

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (38:44):
It was unique because I was playing the music for
everyone else to have fun.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Yeah, that's kind of cool. Y, they knew what you
were up to and that's your thing.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
So hey, guys, your thoughts on this? And I agree
with rich Actually.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
How did they not rearrange who's the president of class
of twenty fourteen White House High School? Where they can't
rearrange this reunion for Patrick Mahomes?

Speaker 7 (39:06):
In fact, I think I think like.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
He should be the guest of honor where that's the
mandatory thing if he's willing to go, and that's what
he's saying he would do if he didn't have his football.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Season, And there's always got to be a reason. And
sometimes you have to be empathetic and understand why someone
would or wouldn't want to go. Like if someone feels
like they're it sounds terrible, but if someone feels like
they're a disappointment, like oh, I was valedictorian and now
I suck, or you know, I was the prom king
and the captain of the football team and now I'm
fat and bald and divorce three times. Like there's reasons

(39:38):
why people don't want to have small talk because what
of those what are those events? Usually can be no, hey,
how are you? If how are you is if the
answer is pretty terrible.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Pal you have that look forward mentality. You don't want
to look back. You close the year book years ago,
blah blah blah.

Speaker 7 (39:53):
So you're talking.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
You know, that's one reason and the other the other
thing is you may not want to go because it
it does no good for you.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
But then then there is a layer.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Of like I, if you do go and you're you
are successful, there is a sense of is that person bragging?

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I'll give you a quick story and then we'll move on.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
It's kind of depressing to see how old everybody else got. Yeah,
at least that's our mindset, no matter who it is.
It's like, man, I hope I don't look that old.
Well to that point, showed it with a cane at
my last one, Colvino, to that point.

Speaker 8 (40:27):
The age we remember those kids, They have kids that
are that age, some of our classmates.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
By the way, who'd you go to high school with? Klessey,
Freddy Blassie Cane.

Speaker 7 (40:38):
Mister Fuji dude.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studio tyrack

what are your thoughts about this my home story? I
actually think it's it's it shows you what a humble
guy he is. It makes me like him even more.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
I saw clip by the way with uh I have
a funny story, But I saw a clip with I
believe it was Bradley Cooper mm hmm. And it's not
the clip where he's in this audience, so one of
those actor studio things. You've seen that clip, right, Yeah,
I saw cled of Bradley Cooper talking about how his
high school friends are the ones that humble him most.
So he goes to these things and no one treats

(41:18):
him special, and he loves it like they like, he's always.

Speaker 7 (41:21):
Good to remember where you came from rich And yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
That's that's a nice part. Maybe bump it to the
one or two old teachers that show up, but don't hesit,
don't shy away to something about it.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
That grounds you too, you know, forget about just being humbled.
It's like, you know, I didn't realize they'd care that much,
But it was really nice. To see and talk to
or catch up to or or sort of let bygones
be bygones. When I ran into so and so, it's
sort of healthy, I think.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I think there's a layer of hey, we're all adults,
this is fun. Get over it. It's different, you know,
seeing uh, you know, seeing so who you went to
high school with on Facebook with their kids is different
than having a drink and catching up and be like, hey,
you know I haven't seen you. You know, like a
real conversation is nice, you.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Know what happens to every once in a while. I
was like, you know, I really I used to have
a crush on you, and you have to play the like.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
No way, no way, really, now you got to hide
an affair you're going to have.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
Now you got to hide an affair. I get it.
That's why they probably don't go.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
Don't let Facebook, don't want social media.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
He was the leader of the brought pack Rich.

Speaker 8 (42:30):
I've heard people say that Facebook is the reason that
they don't go because they already keep tabs with people.
Not everyone's on social media. I talked to several people
that I went to school with that were not on Facebook,
and so I did lose touch with them, so you'd
be surprised at how many people just avoid social media.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
How did they know about the reunion? Then, because it's
the only thing that's on Facebook, they're the ones that
have to be tracked down by the class president.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
I was going to say, though, guys, think of how
the screet a woman would be that's not on Facebook.
I'm kidding.

game that's sweeping the nation.
