Gad oh not to watch I was saying to eat.

always on Instagram taking little baby bites of donuts and
leaving the u for you to become fat. Here's my
Crumble reviews. Yeah, she loves doing that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And then there you are eating five left over donuts
right right.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
McDonald's today unleashes and unfurls a new mcflurry kit cat banana.
Oo oh really, KitKat ban What was that last thing

Grandma's worthers.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
What was it? Grandma's apple? Was the grandma on Grandma's diabetes.

That's what it was, Danny, Yeah, Grandma's shake. Whatever it was,
it was awesome. So yeah, there you go. Something to

Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's really like summertime, right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh yeah, so enjoy that something look forward to later on.
And speaking of double doozies, right, we have a double
doozy right now, and it starts with Billy Wagner. Oh really,
Billy Wagner, Astros Pitcher. You remember Billy Wagner, Danny g
You remember Billy You NL guys remember Billy Wagner, of course,
(02:13):
And Billy Wagner's in the news. He says the primary
reason he retired was because of his kids. And then
he goes on to say, if I don't make the
Hall of Fame because I went and played with my kids,
it's not the real hall of fame. That's kind of cool.
Like it's two part, two fold. It's like, man, you
(02:34):
live once, going out there to be great. Just stick
it out as long as you can. You got the
small window where you could compete on that level. It's
a small window in the grand scheme of things, right,
I mean, you also have a small window while your
kids are small and want to play with you. But
then yeah, exactly, that window is even smaller, and as
a parent you realize how fast it goes, so you
(02:55):
see that it's tough to balance it out. That's why
I don't want to, you know. Swing from Derek Jeter woohooooo.
I always thought the fact that he started his family
after his career was kind of cool. But then again,
they missed out on his greatness. His kids will never
really know unless they watched the highlights. Right. But also,
I mean, much like I'm not saying I had my
(03:17):
kids young. I had my kids when I was in
my late thirties, and my second kid at forty, you
felt young though I felt young.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I feel young now. But I mean, Jeter is gonna
be an older dad.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Billy Wagner said, quote, I had plenty of guests left,
so he could have played more, And he also said
I was plenty good numbers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wise, I had other responsibilities deal with.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It, and how could you not respect it? Of course
you respect it. I respect it. That's a tough decision.
You got to realize there's so many different ways to
look at this. Right. This dude from his little league
days dreamed about being a big leaguer like most people
(04:00):
listening to the show.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But he made it. He was good, he got there.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He's the point zero zero one percent of people on
the planet that got to live this dream out. And
he's calling it quits. But he's also calling it quits
for the most important reason, his children. So you know
which one's your priority. That's a question in itself, but
it really doesn't matter. This is the choice he made.
Now he still played a long time, sixteen years in
(04:27):
the bigs career era two point three. Wow, that's fantastic
for s when the Mets had When the Mets had
him in the mid two thousands, I was a fan man.
He was a little dude, and I was like, yo,
for a little lefty, this guy throws heat. So I'm
a Billy Wagner fan all right over. I think four
hundred saves over under four hundred saves? Oh he has
(04:51):
like four fifty. I bet four twenty two. I believe
nine years with Houston, four years with your Mets, two
years to Phill Atlanta when you're at Boston. So sixteen
years in the bigs now he made the in my opinion,
ultimate sacrifice. But again, he did play sixteen years. But
what a story. His kids can't ever say anything. Hey,
(05:14):
guess what, little Billy, a little nosepicker, dad quit his
big league dreams just to hang out with you. So
zip it right? Like, what a sacrifice? I think that's sacrifice.
He might as well be increed. Hey, do you guys
ever see that meme float around?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now? I just checked and it is real Danny g
being there. You're a big football fan.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You've heard those rumors where Bruce arians is so adamant
that his coaching staff never misses like a dance recital,
a kid's play, or concert saying like yo, I'll fire
you if you prioritize this over your family, with the
family first.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That meme has been making the rounds lately.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, it's it's nice, but you really can't be everywhere either.
That's the other thing. I think we put a lot
of pressure on ourselves as parents today and I'm getting
to that because you can't do everything right. You want
to do everything, but you can. You also gotta make
the donuts. You gotta put bread on the table, you
gotta beat places, do things, see a man about a horse.
(06:11):
Like my dad used to say, Hey, yay, I got
places to go, people to see Dad. Where you're going
probably at the Nudi Bar. I don't know where dad was.
It was the eighties, nobody knew now. I do think
it is wild how parents are overly accessible. I mean,
I'll go to a kid's school event and we have
(06:32):
an unconventional schedule. We're on the radio, television, the things
we do over the years. I'm shocked how you could
go to a kid's school performance at ten thirty am
on a Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And it's packed, Like does anyone work?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't know how they do it? Yeah, I don't
know how they do it. Maybe management is more understanding
more than ever before. I don't know how parents dip out.
You know, you and I have the luxury of doing
our own podcast, being able to shift our schedule around
a little bit. You know, obviously we have to be
here for Fox Sports. But our boss is very understanding
because he also has kids, so that's always great. But
(07:07):
Billy Wagner again, sixteen years in the Bigs, retired in
twenty ten. He's a one, two, three, four, five, six,
like seven time All Stars something redicular.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Counting those little stars on baseball reference.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, I am, and to me, there's no debate on
whether or not when you really look at his numbers,
he's a Hall of Famer. But I do like what
he said. If I'm not because I retired early to
be with my family, then it's not a real Hall
of fame. Then I saw another story. Remember this is
a two prong two part doozy. When I say Prong,
(07:42):
snap your fingers, snap your necks to this story, there's
about five people that get that reference rich, I do
anybody who knows Prong. The band Ludacrous Danny g sent
us this story and I thought it was kind of interesting.
Rapper Ludacrouso.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's your fat c roll out?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You know that song is about he was in the
bathroom and he was stranded because they were out of TP.
No it is, look it up. So ludicrous is in
those and he says, as crazy as it sounds. He
posts a picture of him and this beautiful young woman,
and that beautiful young woman is his daughter. And by
(08:28):
the way, rich me, as the father of a teenage daughter,
sometimes when I'm at a restaurant with her, I almost
have to preface immediately that this is my daughter. This
isn't la creepiness going on here. It's a weird place
to be in when you look kind of young and
your kid's growing up. It really is. That's just a
side note because I do look at this picture and
(08:49):
that could be Ludacris's girlfriend for all I know. But
it's his daughter.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Dude, you have to tell the waiter no Belichick.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, that's what I usually say. You like out there
the check you have any ordered? I said, no, no, no, Belichick.
This is my kid. So Ludacros posts this picture of
his beautiful daughter. He's embracing her in this photo, and
he says, as crazy as it sounds, I always dreamt
of the day I would party in Vegas with my daughter,
(09:20):
but I also had reservations on how old I would feel.
Well that day has finally come, prayers. Now, who do
you think acted more immature in the club And he's laughing,
and it's kind of a cool daddy daughter moment where
you could share a drink, share a table, popping bottles,
you're ludicrous and your daughter gets to see you in
(09:41):
your element, just hanging. Not only has celebrity, but father
daughter having fun in Vegas. Dude, So that's kind of cool.
And then that got me thinking between Billy Wagner making
this ultimate sacrifice and Ludacrous just so yearning to party
with his kid dreamt of the day. I know not
(10:01):
that our parents didn't love us. Of course they did.
My parents are my biggest fan. That's not saying a lot,
but they tune in every day. I'm not sure my
parents could love me anymore than they do. I want
to make that clear.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
But don't you.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Think the level of the level of presence, you could say, involvement,
is just so next level in today's world. It goes
back to that Sebastian Man of Scalco bit, the comedian
Sebastian or old pal where. He's like, my dad didn't
even know a school. I where is school? What?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What greater are you? And I don't even know?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
No, And it's like it's so weird, how uninvolved looking back.
So I want to make it clear. It's not like,
oh I wish my dad hugged me. Daddy wasn't there
to take me to the fair. That's not what we're saying.
We're just saying, looking back, based on today's standard, how
uninvolved they were. Think about how involved you are, How
(11:01):
involved Billy Wagner is ludicrous.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Lebron James. The dude's sticking around, his toes.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Are bending, his feet are hurting, he's got gray beard,
no more hair in his head. He's sticking around just
to play with his son. My dad never wanted to
play with his son. I think about how like I
beg my parents, like play Nintendo with me, and they
were like, yeah, no, I'll do that, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And of course they loved us. That's just the way
it was. You would beg your parents, both of them.
My mom's not off the hook. I'd beg them to
play Nintendo with me, atari with me, And now today's
parent has this crazy amount of guilt if they're not
giving their kid as much attention as they possibly can.
Maybe it's the guilt we feel because we know we're
(11:44):
on our phone nine hours a day. I don't know
know what is it's social media because you're watching these
videos where it's.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Like you're gonna miss the fingerprints on the windows one
day and you get sucked into Mike Kitt'll say, is
it that said you want to play I want to
play Mario Party? And I don't want to, but I
hear that song Yo going to missus?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, but our parents had. My son arrived just the
other day, he said, thanks father, let's play.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
My parents had that song.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Don't you think it could be a whole generation of
kids who didn't have enough involvement maybe from their parents,
and so they're like, when I have kids, I'm gonna
be more involved.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, parents said that too, though. No, hell no.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
When we were kids, CO was about to be one.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, well, hold on, I can bet you that you've
changed more COT with diapers and.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
He's not even one than your dad did his whole life.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Carry Oh yeah, yeah he was. He was saying your
dad doesn't know what school you go to. My dad
didn't know what city I lived in.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, You It's amazing how they just operated on a
different level of h disconnect.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Maybe I just feel like when we were little kids,
it was more about the adults. It was the adults world.
We were just living in it. We didn't get to
tell them what we wanted for dinner. We didn't get
to call the shots for what was on TV. We
were the remote control. We got to go over and
change the channel to what they wanted. But it was
kind of like, it's about us adults. You kids be quiet, hurt.
(13:16):
Yeah exactly. And that over time, yeah, that over time
has evolved to where the parents take the back seat
and put their kids in the forest.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's true. The kids run the house nowadays, where your
dad would kick you in the ass if he wanted to.
And I want to make it very clear, this isn't
like a woe is Me session of whaw dude. My
parents were at every little league game, every baseball game,
got me everything I wanted. That's not my point, but
(13:43):
it really is crazy to see the level of connection
versus the disconnect. Almost like like we said, Ludacrous wants
to hang dude, I don't think I ever got a
like a burger with my dad, like ever? Ever, that's
the truth. Yet I feel like I got to take
my daughter out all the time just to keep her happy.
(14:04):
It's so crazy the level of expectation that and pressure
that we put on ourselves today as parents. It's nice
to see, but it's also I think we tried to
overcorrect it and we have to find a middle ground.
Like I don't think Billy Wagner needed to retire.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't, dude.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I just wrote down four quick examples that came into
my head of things that your parents may have loved you,
but they didn't do the things that our generation does.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I got one. I read my kids books. Did your
dad read your storytime?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Never? Not what my mom did though, yeah yeah, but
my dad never.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I won what I get away with all this?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
When my kids have a nightmare, I'm laying in their
beds snuggling with them.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Did your dad do cuddle time? Now?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
My dad came bunched in in his tidy whities. Hey
you made a judge your mouth, and I remember he
was like you like this guitar I had a guitar,
my mom, my grandma.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm like yeah, and he smashed it over his knees.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He's like, well, zippy, because I'm gonna bring something else,
kind of like what so no, the answer is no.
And by the way, I say this respectfully, my dad
is awesome. My dad is the greatest. He has five kids,
he loves all of us. He's my biggest supporter. That's
not it. I'm just saying, there's just a different level
of expectation. Yo, Danny g you mentioned the food thing.
(15:25):
You know how many times I stupidly catch myself asking
my kids like, is this.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay for dinner? Is Chick fil a? You're gonna do it?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, why am I asking them?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
We ask them for permission almost or for them to
tell us what to go get. Are you kidding? My
mom's favorite saying, and I'm sure you guys heard this too.
If you don't eat what I put on the table
for dinner, you're not eating.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No, my parents with that weren't that strict. But that's
the generation we grew up and for sure, like we
heard that all the time. What's the last one?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Rich? The last one?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And by the way, this all ties into Billy Wagner saying,
if I don't make the Hall of Fame because I
retire a little early to hang on my kids, it's
not a real Hall of Fame, and the double Doozy
Cavino pulled in Luda Ludacris, who said it's like a
dream come true to be able to party with his
daughter in Las Vegas. Just showing that he's different. He's
pulling out Lebron, you know, that's really what he's doing
(16:16):
in real life. And you're like, wow, man, look at
all these sacrifices. And not that our parents didn't make sacrifices,
it's just a different level of sacrifice. Of course, our
parents gave up everything. They gave up their youth, they
gave up everything to raise us. That's not what we're saying.
I gotta be respectful about that, because I really mean it.
They gave us life, you know, they gave us clothes,
(16:38):
they gave us everything they were able to give us.
It's just times changed so hard that the you know
what else happened too rich where mom took on a
lot of that responsibility. The today's mom wouldn't really do
those things unless the dad was involved. It became like
a joint project where if mom was changing diapers, mom
(17:01):
was changing diapers and dad was working or doing.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Whatever he was doing, mowing the lawn.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Right now, moms are like, come on, it's time to
change the diapers. It's like a joint mission.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
No, I don't know how that happened. So I had
the final one. I have another one. We took the
kids to a water park the other day. Yeah, and
it was almost like expected that they got a souvenir.
And I'm like, you kids don't realize, like a souvenir
that's like appetizers at a restaurant that you think this
didn't happen. How bad would your dad get? This is
(17:34):
like you know, if you're an eighties nineties kid. Even earlier,
free refills wasn't a thing. So if you're at a restaurant, if.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You're at a give me a case yourself.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
If you're at a Howard Johnson's in the eighties and
they gave you your your Shirley Temple or your your coke
before the meal came, and you finished it before the
meal came, your dad would be giving you a dirty
look because he wasn't getting you another one now final one,
and again we don't even need to say it. My dad,
(18:04):
your dad, we've done a show for years. They're two
of our biggest supporters. It's a different breed though, Big
Steve and my dad Greg listen, they're great dudes. But
I thought of this one because last night I'm down
here in Texas and I went to one of my
favorite burger places. If you know it, you know it,
Pee Terry's, Pete Terry's. I had a double cheeseburger and
(18:25):
I said, instead of the soda because I'm trying to
stay off the soda. If I'm gonna eat bad, upgrade
it to the vanilla shape.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh when I tell you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
My kids grabbed it and like, Dad, we want it,
and they finished like eighty percent of my shake. You
if your dad was having one of his favorite treats,
would he be like, yeah, take it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I can't even imagine, dude, I can't imagine. It's
just a different breed of dad, different breed of guy,
different breed of person. And it's nice to see. But maybe,
like we said, it is no overcorrection. Maybe a social
media I don't know where these pressures came from. But
maybe the pendulum swings back in the middle where there's
not so much pressure to be there for every little moment.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So the two part doozy Billy Wagner Ludicrous pulling a Lebron,
you know, partying with his daughter, but yearning and waiting
for the moment, and you know, your phone calls and
your thoughts on No, you know what, I did think
it was cool. Do you remember having your first drink
or your dad? I remember smoking weed with my dad
for the first time. I thought that was wild. I was.
I witnessed it. That was at your brother's wedding. Right
(19:31):
at the wedding, my dad's like, oh, and I'm like,
I'm gonna smoke with my dad.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
This is wild anyway. I guess we're both grown ups,
different generation.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No, I don't. I don't remember, like my first drink
with my dad, don't. I don't remember that. I don't.
I don't think so. So Ludicrous parties with his daughter now,
and to prove that there's something to it. I think
we all kind of feel that way. We all wish
we had a little bit of a Lebron moment at
some point, right some of us are gonna get it.
Some of us aren't because we're too old. Like Danny
(20:03):
g by the time you're Co is twenty one years old,
you're gonna one hundred and five.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Hey, I'm gonna be in my sixties. And I when
I saw the Luda story, that's the first thing I
thought of, is man when he's twenty one, I'm gonna
be going towards seventy. I hope I'm still here to
enjoy something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
One.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I know you're gonna be the old Little League coach, right,
but hey, you're gonna do what you can. Danny will
tell him of his club days in the nineteen hundreds.
But you know what, and to be fair, our parents
did what they could, and age did what they knew,
and they learned from an even colder, even stricter generation
(20:40):
of parents. That's really what it is.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Rich.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Our music is so good. You know, the DJ is
still going to be playing Luda records in twenty years
from now.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, by Usher, Luda and Lil John will play when
when Co is in college. So your thoughts on Billy
Wagner retiring for his kids when he still had and
he said he still had some gas and if it
costs in the Hall of Fame? Did he still make
the right decision? Your thoughts on partying with your kid,
your thoughts on the pressures of being a parent today,
(21:08):
and your thoughts on this and more. We also have
midweek major rich the biggest stories in the world of
sports and pop culture. Lots to get to.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Let's start with our friend Mason, the millennial in the
Bay Area.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
What Mason, Hey, guys, love the show, loves the vibe
you bring. I just wanted to offer this from a
different perspective, from like maybe the sun point of view. So, like,
nothing get too personal. But my dad, he was like
him and my mom were like separated for a little bit,
so that kind of created a lot of time for
(22:40):
me and my brother to spend with him, you know,
just on his own and like it was really cool,
like in the younger days, like he always made time
for us, and he's like a boss of his own
like construction company, so we always saw him as a boss,
and he like took us on the job and stuff
and always like made time for us, and like more
along in the older life, like when I was kind
(23:02):
of a teenager a young adult, you know, I got
to a point in time where like he knew I
was smoking, and like he eventually would like to party
with me, and like just recently, we're in a lake Tahoe,
And you know, this was honestly one of the best
times I've ever had with him. We were like at
the casino to like four or five am, gambling, making
(23:25):
thousands of dollars together, and like after we enjoyed this
burger at this one place.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
And it was so cool. It was just me and
him and that was.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Honestly such an awesome moment for me and him.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
So he always made time for us, and it really
impacted my life as a youth, and you know even
as a young adult.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh great story, man, thanks for sharing. Mason the millennial
everybody would win thousands of dollars, I know, right. Billy Wagner,
by the way, guys, just just you know, to make
it clear, he said he had guests in the tank
his last season, he was thirty eight, and you know
he was seven and two with a one point four
to three ERA thirty seven saved.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So he wasn't even dwindling.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
He was like still primo Billy Wagner when he said, yeah,
my kids are more important. Would you have called it
a day if you got to live the dream as
a big leaguer? I wonder how old his kids were.
That's how I need to know. I wish I knew that.
I guess we could figure that out. But yeah, yeah,
I'll look that up for you right now. That's that's
a big sacrifice, man, you know, quitting dude, leaving anything
(24:28):
moving on. Even if you felt like you were done,
it's still a big decision to make, right. Gus in
Los Gatos, what that?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Gus? What's up?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Gus Gustavo?
Speaker 9 (24:41):
Hey, I just wanted to give Billy Wagner a quick
perseverance shout out. You know, as the story goes, he
was a right handed pitcher growing up and he broke
his arm. His arm was in a cast as a
young kid. Shortly after the cast came off, he rebroke
his arm and taught himself how to pitch left handed.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's insane.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
And not only taught himself how to pitch, I mean
the guy's throwing.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yah, what is he?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Three?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (25:11):
So the guy's election. He deserves a lot of credit,
really is he should go to the hall. But that
should be on his Hall of Fame plaque, that perseverance story.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And and do we give him rich? Do you give
him extra credit for doing this for his kids?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is that something you should be like, we all respect it,
there's no question. But do you give him like even
more of a of a of a Hall of Fame
vote because of that? Like, you know what, man, you
deserve it. He's a well rounded guy. Listen, Tom Brady
finally walked away, and many would argue that he lost
that little opportunity and window because he played too long.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
May have tor part his marriage for all.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You know, by the way, I thought he was gonna say,
Billy Wagner pulled the little big league not little big
league rookie the year. But he's like he had the
cast twice. I'm like, oh my god, he took it
off and he threw a hundred. No, a lot of
people don't realize that's the kid from American Pie.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I don't think everybody realizes that or makes that connection.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
All right, somebody do some quick math here. Uh oh,
So Wagner has four kids. Has fourth arrived in September
two thousand and six. At the time, they had three
other children eight five and three in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh okay, and that's when was that eight five to
three and the one was born in six So he
played four more years so four to seven, nine, and
so his kids were twelve, nine, seven and four. That's
in the mix of dad life. So he said, I
have a twelve year old who's about to be a
teenager at nine, seven and four, I have a seven
and four year old. It's primo dad time right now.
(26:46):
So I admire Billy Wagner's decision, That's what I'm saying.
He got to admire it, and I would give him
if I was cool enough to have a vote, like, yeah,
of course, dude. I mean it's that speak for themselves.
But that just adds to the awesomeness of the story.
And again he retired in twenty ten, So that's it.
Are are parents way more involved now? Yes? Are we
(27:07):
too involved?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Maybe? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You know. So it's not necessarily pointing fingers on our
parents or their generation because they did a great job. Hey,
they raised us. I don't want to harp on this long.
I'm gonna be watching Receiver like everyone else tonight. Eight
episodes out, So you gotta watch that Knuckleback, that Nickelback
documentary on Netflix when you're done. It's pretty to download that.
I'm flying to New York tomorrow, so I'm gonna download
(27:33):
that for the flight.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But it's called hate to Love.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's interesting because they were the biggest rock band of
the two thousands and everybody just ended up loving to
hate those dudes. So that's the story. It's not necessarily
about my love of Nickelback. It's an interesting story that
you might want to check out. I saw that so
after your receiver and catching up on hard Knocks, and
maybe you could check that out.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
So receiver.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
One of the miked up moments that's gone a little
a little viral today was Travis Kelcey talking to George Kittle,
the two best tight ends in football. Arguably they know
the top five to ten. Ever they must work out.
So it comes out that Travis Kelcey is insinuating. I'm
(28:17):
pretty much saying that he paid three milli so that
Taylor could have the suite at the Super Bowl. Must
be nice, sounds about right, Must be nice.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
Well, I remember there was speculation because wasn't Olivia Colpo
and family and Christian McCaffrey's family. Weren't they talking about
like she was getting, you know, some flak because they
thought that she spent that kind of money on a
booth and she was like, we're not spending money on that,
We're not spending money on a suite, So.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I mean, Kelsey makes a pretty penny, but three million
for a suite, you're really you're rolling out the red
carpet for your your new love here.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
I do wonder though, ask you to does like Taylor
pitching because she clearly has a ton of money.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Is she being like, oh, I'll cover the bill.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
There's another story out today saying that they spend three
hundred thousand dollars a day on their romance.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
The average person, according to a meme, I saw two
hundred and fifty dollars a day, same thing on average,
just sitting around like expenses and meals.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's crazy. That's a number.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's a high number, but around there when you think
about it. When you think about it, if you have
you're on vacation, regular day, A dinner's like one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I've already spent fifteen dollars during the show.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
A lot of people don't make a lot of people
don't make two hundred and fifty dollars. That's why everybody's
in debt. It's called an average rich. Yeah, continue carry
on Travis Kelcey making grand gestures and dude, that's great,
that's grand, that's wonderful. But I'm here to tell you that,
although it's a nice thing to do, and I do
think you should go all out when you found that
(30:00):
someone and you're trying to make an impression, it really
doesn't mean a whole lot. It really doesn't. Well listen,
it's the size of your steeple, right, Like I remember
someone said, can you believe jay Z spent millions on
something for Beyonce? And my first thought was, yeah, jay
Z spending a couple mill He's like you spend a
couple hundred. If Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift to have
(30:21):
a combined net worth.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Of well, mostly because.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Of her billions and billions and billions, and I mean,
dropping three mil for a luxury suite seems crazy, but
that would be like I mean, I spent a couple
thousand dollars on a Super Bowl ticket. I mean, when
you do the math, isn't that sort of the same thing. Yeah,
you're right, it's all relative, no doubt, no diggity. So uh,
(30:44):
this is gonna require some solve for X kind of math.
But he just signed break out your tia. I gotta
you know you multiply cross crossways in the X. He
just signed a two year, thirty four point two five
million dollars deal with seventeen million garant. So he spent
three million of that just to take his girl to
the to the football games. Not just any girl, and
(31:06):
I understand making. It's what I'm saying, impression. She made
what thirty four million on her last three shows. I'm
sure she had to pitch it. She would probably had
to say.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
Like, hey, listen, a lot of my security, a lot
of my friends, they're all going to be there, Ice
Spice is going to be there looking like a little orphan.
Any Maybe I'll throw in a few mill or I'll
throw like a half of it in.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Look at it this way, look at it this way. Spot.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
If you make let's say one hundred thousand dollars, ten
percent of your salary is ten thousand dollars. If you
make a million dollars, now you're talking about one hundred
thousand dollars. If Travis Kelsey spent three million, and let's
say he makes roughly between endorsements and everything, thirty mil,
that's that's still his steeped.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
Yeah, he spent ten percent of his salary on one
day steep Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
But I again, you do those things to make that
impression early on, moved.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
The dude moved the house because Taylor Swift was dating.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Dude, you don't think I did crazy things and spent money.
I didn't have to make great impressions on the women
I was with because you're trying to win at that point,
you're trying to be like, Yo, I'm the dude, and
this is why, and this is how much I like you,
and like I'm saying, although it's great, and I'm not
saying you shouldn't do those things. I don't know if
it really means a lot. Like my ex right, dude
(32:23):
did so many grand things, maybe to overcompensate for other stuff.
I have no idea, but looking back, dude got me
sweet ass tickets for me and my brother to an
All Star game, the last All Star game at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
So what year was that?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Their last All Star game at the old Yankee Stadium?
Because that meant a lot to me. She bought me, like, dude,
crazy expensive tickets. With those tickets and autograph Jeter bat
inside a case and the ball and all these extra extravagant.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Things, but look what ended up happening. Like, does it
hold any weight? Is my point? Does it mean that
you love anybody anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You know, I don't tell, so I don't think you
need to do that. I'm not discouraging anyone from showing
people that they care, but I don't think it necessarily
means a whole lot now besides football and gambling and
baseball and sports and pop culture and music. I don't
know if you realize I'm a expert in love.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Wait, everyone did this start?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Oh it's in my bio, Danny G.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I don't know if you knew that, But no, everyone's
happen there and run because he's these doctor. Yeah, they
call him doctor Love.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
He told me.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I'm just saying we've we've discussed these silly things where
I mean not silly, but everyone has their own love language.
Like some people like material things, some people just want
you to spend time with them, some people want physical touch.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Everyone wants something different. So you might have dated someone that's.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Like, I show my love by buying things and y'all
three mil three MILLI for a suite, even if you're
ball and we just did the math. It's sort of
you know, think of your salary. Are you willing to
spend ten percent of your annual income on something other
than like a home or a car?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
No, ask yourself that.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Do you think he was exaggerating a little bit? No? No,
because I'm looking right now and it says sweets there
in Vegas were eight hundred thousand to a little over
two million, depending on the type of sweet. And you
don't think the NFL would give him any sort of break.
Maybe they because he was in the game.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
No, maybe they jacked up the price because they knew
Taylor Swift was going to be there. I got Swift dollars.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
No, she made them so much.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, she did so much for the league. Maybe maybe
it's an exaggeration. I'm curious to hear you know more
about it. But hey, listen, rich people spend money. Think
about you know, people made a big deal when they
saw Jlo flying commercial because people like that fly private
all the time. You don't think it costs money to
fly private and do all these things. That's why rich
people it seems like, man, they don't have to work ever. Again,
(34:58):
when you live that lifestyle, you need to maintain some.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Most extravagant thing you did.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
You had to do something because, as people love to say, rich,
you well kicked your coverage.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Oh well, see, I mean for my wife.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I mean I was just I was flying to so
we did long distance for a little while, and I
was flying every week to see her. You've done the
same for her, love. I remember the most extravagant thing
I did. Oh boy, I'm gonna take you back. Let's
hear it from daddy still the.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay, early two thousands. You're rocking your boot cuts looking
like Dane Cook.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And my girlfriend had dumped me.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh boy, So I went to k jewelers, Yes, got
her a necklace, went to her dorm room, knocked on
the door and said take me back, and she slammed
the door on my face. Really didn't work salary at
the honestly spot at the time, when I was in college,
(35:56):
it probably was ten percent of myself. I don't know
if that's extravagant or just desperate. And everybody has a
desperation moment like that. I think we've all done something desperate,
like did they let you return it?
Speaker 7 (36:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Said, I drove home crying Danny J and uh that's
when I got into radio. So every slam jor in
the face begins with K. Is that the slogan?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah? I think it is. Every dispe begins with K.
I think so.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
So share your stories if you have an extravagant moment. Yo,
you were so head over heels, you did blank, you
went overboard. It's not spending three million for a suite,
I promise you that. But I'm sure we've all done something. Yeah,
let me ask. Let me ask Moncy Bolanos if her
or any of her girlfriends have ever had a guy
(36:42):
do something stupid where it's like, goh, that's too much.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Stop stop it.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
I mean, I think, like you said, in comparison to
what they make right. So, I did have a friend,
oh who they broke up, and he I think realized
that he was the one that messed up. So he
like bought her Drake tickets and he didn't have any
money and the seats were in the nosebleeds. But it
was like for him, it was like he he he
definitely spent you know, a chunk of his money when
(37:08):
he didn't have it, and.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Then it was like five hundred bucks he didn't have.
Speaker 11 (37:11):
That he didn't that he did not have, and he
was like definitely trying to win her back. It didn't work, you.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Know what, never does. That's a mix of desperation and
extravagant considering how much money he didn't.
Speaker 11 (37:23):
He didn't have, so for him, that was like a lot,
you know.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
What I mean?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Watzi, I have I have a female friend that every
time I see her with a new piece of extravagant jewelry.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
You're like, what do he do?
Speaker 2 (37:33):
No, the answer is her husband did something. I say,
what do you do? What do you do? Yeah, exactly, dude.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Anytime I see anybody with flowers, like walking around the street,
I'm like, it's either someone's birthday or anniversary or they're
in the dog Yep.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Yeah, you know that those people, by the end of
the day do sell those flowers because of all those reasons,
of all those reasons.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Hey, you're fat, I know you got something to share.
Speaker 7 (37:55):
Yeah, So obviously this isn't me this, but this was
something I saw around me that kind of had me
wondering on this. So no, no, no, no no. So this
girl I dated was while I was at USC She
had had a problem with someone else who was also
a student at USC who would not leave her alone.
(38:15):
I think this guy was trying to act nice, but
it was incredibly creepy. He would constantly drop off like
meals for her at her apartment and everything, and like
at one point she actually got me to like just
kind of escort him out of the apartment building.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Sure wasn't like a grubhub guy.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
No, this was not. This was not.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
But I remember his last final salvo, and this was
after she had told him off and everything was. I
was walking by the apartment complex one day and right
out in front of her door was this giant, seven
foot tall teddy Bear from one of those like giant teddies,
(38:53):
which I think go for around like three hundred dollars
or so. And I'm like, this is and and like
you know, ralphs and some pre made soup and whatnot.
I'm like, this is creepy as hell. Long story short,
I came by the next day and that thing was
in the trash uh, the trash bin. Poor poor that
thing was in the dumpster.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
You know what, women are cold blooded when they're not interested,
and it's really done that those gifts and gesture.
Speaker 7 (39:16):
This guy this was beyond this was beyond that, like
this was this was a man who was very very
unwell to keep continuing.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Here's my here's my advice. Again. As you see my
business card, it says uh, love expert, like Riches loved
mine says love tycoon. I'm sorry. You have to pull
these moves when things are good. When things are bad,
it's never gonna resolve the issues or get her back.
And that's our weird fantasy.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
You just think, you look, that's the weakest.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That's when she's like, yeah, this guy's weak, I'm not
interested anymore.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And the other guy there.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
Was something there to begin with. What I'm saying is
there was not this was the move.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I'm just saying in general, and and you gotta do
these things when when times are good. That's it. If
you're gonna make any impact, that's how you do it. Now,
the winner of all time, the winning grand gesture isn't
Taylor Swift getting a three million dollars suite for the
Super Bowl. It's not some big teddy bear in a
(40:14):
profet story. It's not me buying an exa necklace or
your ex wife Banya Yankees tickets.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
The story as far as like.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Grand gestures, whether it's good or a desperation move. Was
it Kanye who got Kenny G to play a private
awkward moment for Kim K Yeah, and I remember.
Speaker 10 (40:37):
He was surrounded by a bunch of vases so like
he couldn't move out of the room, like he was
like surrounded.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
And then he also had he also had a hologram
of her dead father, Like Kanye is a man of
grand gesture.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, but look see it didn't work. It didn't work,
doesn't mean a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Maybe, like I said, maybe it's over compensation for other things.
Doesn't matter. Those things don't matter. I'm not discouraging people
for expressing how they feel, but doesn't really mean you
care more than anyone else. It doesn't right. Well your
thoughts at Covin on rich and I want to throw
this out there real quick because I know we got
midweek major and other stuff to get to. But I
(41:18):
don't know if you saw Donald Trump. President Trump laid
out a challenge to President Biden and there's an update
which is our bring it up. So take a listen
to Donald Trump.
Speaker 12 (41:29):
I'm also officially challenging tricking Joe Old golf maats right
here on Morales Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest
tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the
great courses of the world.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
It will be among the.
Speaker 12 (41:47):
Most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the
Writer Cover or even the Masters.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
I will give him ten smokes aside, and if he wins,
I will give.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
He was one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
So is that doctor evil? It sounds so weird.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
It's such a weird just comment, I should say. He
throws the challenge out, and Biden's team responded saying, Joe
Biden doesn't have time for Donald Trump's weird antics.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
He's busy leading America and defending the free world.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
But I do ask you, on a serious note, put
aside whether you care about Biden or Trump.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
If you politics aside.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
You can see politics aside all you want. People always
bring it back to politics, no matter what. I know
you're doing it just to just to try, because I
know that's your intention.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
But good luck.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yeah, Richie just said he was leading America. He's not
leading America. Somebody's gonna tweet you that right now.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah, And then I said that I quote Trump, and
everyone's like, yeah, you're Trumper, doesn't do you know? It's
funny if here's where I think something Donald Trump said
in jest isn't isn't unrealistic. I think if Joe Biden
and Donald Trump played eighteen holes of golf and they
(43:13):
filmed it and it was a live event, I think
it would be watched more than the US Open, the Masters,
the Writers anything. I think it would be the most
watched golf event in a decade. Oh yeah, I agree
with that. Tiger Woods, since Tiger in his prime. Since
I mean, I think who wouldn't watch at least the
(43:35):
first couple holes. I would watch, and I don't watch golf.
I think most people would. I agree with that. Rich
Let me ask you a question and we'll take some
phone calls and feedback on this as well. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine one Fox, would you rather see this
eighteen holes of golf or another debate?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Well, we're going to see the second debate, and so
what would you?
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Yeah, and he said one of the most highly watched
sporting events ever, something along those lines. I think Tyson
Jake Paul would have more of a viewership.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Imagine and they put it on one car together.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
I'm just doing out there the begad day of sports
for added debate and speculation, I do I think Tyson
Jake Paul November fifteenth would have more streamers. You're assuming
that everybody cares about these dudes, and look, we care
more about politics than we ever did before. I know that,
but I don't know if everybody be tuning in the
way you think. No. I listen to see who's competent,
(44:34):
to see the issues, to hear people out. The debate
is more important, right, But if you're telling me people
whenn't watch Donald Trump and Joe Biden golf, I'm intrigued what.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
They would wear.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
I want to say they're golf outfits. I want to
see what clubs they're using. I want to see who
their caddies are.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
What if they had like random like.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Wait, who's his caddy? Dana White's caddy? Who's he bringing?
Like who's gonna be walking the course? It would be
a major event and as much of a circus as
this seems to be, it sounds just about right like
this could or would happen. I'm surprised that it's been
dismissed like that again, isn't it didn't Biden?
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Wasn't he the one that sort of brought it up?
Speaker 1 (45:15):
If I'm not mistaken, he said, And Trump said he'd
give him ten strokes.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
It's like almost fake. I can't even believe it's real.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
But just you know, a good question to ask your
your wife or girlfriend of your buddy tonight if you're
getting some drinks, Hey, would you watch for real? If
Trump and Biden golf? And I think most people would say.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
Here in the studio, a little survey of our own,
I'd watch Danny J I'd watch the first couple holes
spot Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Oh yeah, of course probably not. No, I knew you
were gonna say that. I don't know why. I just
knew it. I mean I knew, I knew it before yesterday.
Speaker 10 (45:48):
I wanted narrated by Rob Wriggle and Joe tessitur like, uh,
Snoop Dogg just for a Snoop dog color comment.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
MANSI would you watch, of course?
Speaker 11 (45:57):
And I make a bingo game out of it?
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Real, by the way, I would have bet. I would
have bet my life.
Speaker 7 (46:05):
And you have a reason why back, dude, I because
this is obviously a stunt that they've set up that
either like there's there's no right way to turn this
down at all, and to be honest, no, I just
know I don't even like the celebrity boxing matches. I
want to watch a real sport. I'm sorry. I want
real competition, real athletes out there. I don't need this.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
You know what the other you're really downplaying entertainment factor.
Speaker 7 (46:30):
I've got other things entertain me. If I'm not gonna
do the faux half sports.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
I'm not going to say that our country should revolve
around a stupid golf match between Biden and Trump. I
I do agree that's silly, right, But Nate Diaz fought
Mosby Doll in the boxing ring this weekend. The fight
meant nothing, but it was super entertaining. So you're you're
missing out on that fun just on your stance.
Speaker 7 (46:51):
No, I'm watching COPA Euros and anime loser.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
I want to thank you for filling in yesterday. I
thought he was busy taking jim selfies him and Spot.
I don't know who posts more jim selfies.
Speaker 10 (47:07):
I had shoulder surgery six months ago and I finally
feel normal.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Cut me some slack we should have a Jim Selfie off,
let's do it. I was gonna say, you and VJ.
Vernon Husky should do who has more kissy faced jim Selfie?
How don't do kissy faces?
Speaker 2 (47:21):
All right, well he do it. It's come on Week
Major in a second. I know, I okay, you know.
Speaker 10 (47:25):
I would like a little bit of time to give
you a story, maybe two hit it.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
Week where mid Week Major Major. I love that we
throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like the kids.
Speaker 5 (47:45):
Say, that's some week definitely.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Major seeing our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
Remix because we are running, we are running late.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Oh Rich has another story.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
It's hey, Danny g you got moneyball Mallard's ass penny?
Speaker 3 (48:03):
I do right?
Speaker 2 (48:04):
All right, nice.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this segment, we are gonna not roll
the Big Red Love Dice because Dicky Tajos is in Texas.
There them something else I almost swore on the radio.
My bad. All right, I have the butt penny here
from Ben Mallard. I'm editing.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
We're calling at that.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
Yeah, I know this is the famous Benny versus the
Penny penny. All right, rich you're away, You go ahead
and call though I'll go tails. It is tails as
all right in now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous
person from Scotch Playing's New Jersey besides Judy Bloom. Spotty boy,
you're trying.
Speaker 10 (48:47):
To deny me from sharing all the drama in one
of the four major sports, and that would be hot
dog eating. Oh boy, I don't know if you've heard
about this. All eyes were on the Joey Chestnut lists.
Nathan's hot dog eating contest is passed forth before the
July Patrick Bertolletti earned the top spot with fifty eight
hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
Well in fourth place. Here's where the drama starts.
Speaker 10 (49:06):
Nick Wherry, who is also the husband of the women's
champ Miikiy Pseudo, is facing allegations that he cheated to
boost his numbers. His tally at the end was forty
six point seventy five, but apparently people are accusing him
of walking around picking up empty plates, pulling the stack
over by him, and then demanding a recount, putting him
(49:29):
up to fifty one point seventy five, and apparently once
you get above fifty, it's like a covenant spot.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
It's the next tier up.
Speaker 10 (49:35):
So he's denying the allegations, of course, saying he would
never do such a thing.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
They reviewed footage, but they're sticking by the decision.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Midweeker major Wow, he's the Houston Astros of hot Yeah,
my goodness, I think this is the most non story
of all time.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
He's fourth place on a hot.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
Dog st wife when Rich and I agree, it's fact.
This is super weak.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
He honey, and still coming forth right.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
That's the weakest. That's the weakest story ever. So And
you know what, though it is a big story for
whatever reason today, maybe Major League eating is really going
next level.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Man. People love drama.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
Man all over the headlights.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
It really is all over.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
So all right, he had forty six point seven five
in reality, they're saying, but fifty one if he cheated,
what was the winning fifty eight? So okay, Patrick Bertolotti.
Bertolotti had fifty eight. Yeah, this is the weakest story. Okay,
I'll take place, beat it all right, let's continue with
the weak stories. I don't know if you saw this
funny clip floating of it. It's on a twin Star Joe.
Speaker 10 (50:39):
Ryan must have been feeling the heat was a little
hot and sticky at Chicago, because he was caught on
camera dousing his nether regions in baby powder during the
top of the seventh inning. After Carlos Korea hit a
home run. The cameras followed Korea back to the dugout
where he was chatting with Ryan. You can see Ryan
he get rabs his waistband, yanks it out, starts dumping
in the baby powder just as he's casually talking to Korea.
(51:01):
That just you know, lets the band go and what
keeps going? But they did draw attention to it midweek
or major.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
It's funny. I think it's sort of like the week.
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
I'll tell you why, because first of all, I don't
know if he did it for the cameras because that's funny.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Then it's major and it's like, yo, good move. But
what is he a schoolboy?
Speaker 1 (51:19):
I put powder on my son's privates after a pool
day in chasing.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
What is he doing?
Speaker 1 (51:24):
Yeah, I'm not into this chalkiness, This powdery feeling not
my vibe. I think this is a mid story. I
don't think it's weak. It's mid and I'll give it
a mid because it did go extremely viral. I think
it's funny. It's relative proximity funny, meaning it's sports funny.
Sport's not that funny. But when you see something like this,
you're like, oh, wow, did you see that? I can't
(51:44):
believe I saw that. But I'm with Rich, like, who
does that? I don't like powdery huevos. You know, I'd
rather rocket bat wing than that cakey mixture that form.
No thanks, all right?
Speaker 2 (51:56):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (51:57):
The revelations are rolling out thanks to HBO's Hard Knocks
off season with the New York Giants, and Giants fans
are not too happy. The latest episode shows the Giants
GM doing whatever he can to keep Saquon Barkley as
part of the team.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
However, when the.
Speaker 10 (52:11):
News originally broke, Barkley had posted on Twitter that he
never got an offer to go back to the Giants,
so fans are calling him out posting this clip.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
It's going viral midweek or major?
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Well, I mean I think it's major because you're able
to see like who's bs and or not?
Speaker 2 (52:29):
Right? Like are these people men of their word?
Speaker 1 (52:32):
The reality is Saquon's at a better place if the
Giants are going to compete. It's got to be on
the arm of Daniel Jones anyway, So we shall see
I guess right, story not yet total. This is very major.
As Warner Wolf used to say, let's go to the
video tape. Video proves and says otherwise. So it makes
Saquon Barkley look like a liar, liar pants on fire,
(52:54):
and it shows you how we never really know the truth.
And that's what's cool about Hard Knocks. Everybody sleeping on
this giant story. Oh the Giants, Who cares? I don't
give about Daniel Jones. Yo, you were seeing some really
juicy stuff on the first two episodes.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
I thought the first one was juicy.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
Danny G said the second one was even better because
you're really hearing stuff that you're like, wow, I can't
believe I'm hearing this.
Speaker 10 (53:18):
We were saying that Danny and I were saying that
this season is a little bit juicier because they did
start back in January, where they usually start a little
bit further into the season.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
So rich you're hearing all the management and the GM's
talking about like what to do with the players and
get rid of them, and it's really crazy to hear
them talking about these people like they're like they're not people.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
And then the second episode you hear Sat Kwan give
his word, So yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Think it's I think it's major. I also heard, also heard,
could you say the word juicy twelve times? Juice?
Speaker 1 (53:48):
Juice juicy?
Speaker 10 (53:49):
He's like David Swimmer, all right, last one, wrap it
up with us. The grumpiest man alive is apparently a swifty.
Bill Pelicheck joined Travis Kelce Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in
Kelsey Sweet at Taylorsoft's Ara Tours' performance Aristur performance in Amsterdam.
Onlookers said that they saw the coach bsing with Mahomes
(54:10):
and Kelsey having some fun. However, no photos of surface
and we're there's no word as to whether or not
his twenty three year old girlfriend was there, but it
makes sense that she would have been the inspiration to
get him to go to a Taylor's with concert, or
maybe his heart's just softening now that he's a retired
midweek er.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
Major. I think it's major. That was his girlfriend's first CD.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
Right, Taylor chefs Man, you know say the same thing.
This is extremely major because you're just clearly seeing him
cater to his twenty four year old girlfriend. Next, he's
gonna be going to see Jojo siwas and going to
Camp Flogna to see Tyler the Creator, just to appease
his his twenty four year old girlfriend. I hear he
chose Kendrick over Drick now seriously. Yeah, he's all involved
(54:54):
in invest he's doing TikTok dances. This is his life now,
and we're gonna see more and more of this side
of Belichick. You have to look, if you're going to
date a twenty four year old girl, then that's gonna
be your life. I mean, you see the stuff I
deal with with the age difference of my girlfriend. Nowhere
near that age difference. But that's just it comes to
the territory. I heard Bill Belichick comment that he goes
(55:17):
the concert was definitely not skimmitty toilet skimbity.
Speaker 2 (55:21):

else later on tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Gad oh not to watch I was saying to eat.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh, let's hear it. I know that you and your
girlfriend are big on sampling treats. I know your girlfriend's
always on Instagram taking little baby bites of donuts and
leaving the u for you to become fat. Here's my
Crumble reviews. Yeah, she loves doing that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And then there you are eating five left over donuts
right right.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
McDonald's today unleashes and unfurls a new mcflurry kit cat banana.
Oo oh really, KitKat ban What was that last thing
I did? Like Grandma's house, Grandma's mothballs. It tastes like caramels. Yeah,
Grandma's worthers.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
What was it? Grandma's apple? Was the grandma on Grandma's diabetes.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's what it was, Danny, Yeah, Grandma's shake. Whatever it was,
it was awesome. So yeah, there you go. Something to
wet your whistle later on. If you're anything like me
in the summer, all I want to do is sit back,
eat ice cream and watch baseball.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's really like summertime, right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh yeah, so enjoy that something look forward to later on.
And speaking of double doozies, right, we have a double
doozy right now, and it starts with Billy Wagner. Oh really,
Billy Wagner, Astros Pitcher. You remember Billy Wagner, Danny g
You remember Billy You NL guys remember Billy Wagner, of course,
(02:13):
And Billy Wagner's in the news. He says the primary
reason he retired was because of his kids. And then
he goes on to say, if I don't make the
Hall of Fame because I went and played with my kids,
it's not the real hall of fame. That's kind of cool.
Like it's two part, two fold. It's like, man, you
(02:34):
live once, going out there to be great. Just stick
it out as long as you can. You got the
small window where you could compete on that level. It's
a small window in the grand scheme of things, right,
I mean, you also have a small window while your
kids are small and want to play with you. But
then yeah, exactly, that window is even smaller, and as
a parent you realize how fast it goes, so you
(02:55):
see that it's tough to balance it out. That's why
I don't want to, you know. Swing from Derek Jeter woohooooo.
I always thought the fact that he started his family
after his career was kind of cool. But then again,
they missed out on his greatness. His kids will never
really know unless they watched the highlights. Right. But also,
I mean, much like I'm not saying I had my
(03:17):
kids young. I had my kids when I was in
my late thirties, and my second kid at forty, you
felt young though I felt young.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I feel young now. But I mean, Jeter is gonna
be an older dad.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Billy Wagner said, quote, I had plenty of guests left,
so he could have played more, And he also said
I was plenty good numbers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wise, I had other responsibilities deal with.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It, and how could you not respect it? Of course
you respect it. I respect it. That's a tough decision.
You got to realize there's so many different ways to
look at this. Right. This dude from his little league
days dreamed about being a big leaguer like most people
(04:00):
listening to the show.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But he made it. He was good, he got there.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He's the point zero zero one percent of people on
the planet that got to live this dream out. And
he's calling it quits. But he's also calling it quits
for the most important reason, his children. So you know
which one's your priority. That's a question in itself, but
it really doesn't matter. This is the choice he made.
Now he still played a long time, sixteen years in
(04:27):
the bigs career era two point three. Wow, that's fantastic
for s when the Mets had When the Mets had
him in the mid two thousands, I was a fan man.
He was a little dude, and I was like, yo,
for a little lefty, this guy throws heat. So I'm
a Billy Wagner fan all right over. I think four
hundred saves over under four hundred saves? Oh he has
(04:51):
like four fifty. I bet four twenty two. I believe
nine years with Houston, four years with your Mets, two
years to Phill Atlanta when you're at Boston. So sixteen
years in the bigs now he made the in my opinion,
ultimate sacrifice. But again, he did play sixteen years. But
what a story. His kids can't ever say anything. Hey,
(05:14):
guess what, little Billy, a little nosepicker, dad quit his
big league dreams just to hang out with you. So
zip it right? Like, what a sacrifice? I think that's sacrifice.
He might as well be increed. Hey, do you guys
ever see that meme float around?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now? I just checked and it is real Danny g
being there. You're a big football fan.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You've heard those rumors where Bruce arians is so adamant
that his coaching staff never misses like a dance recital,
a kid's play, or concert saying like yo, I'll fire
you if you prioritize this over your family, with the
family first.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That meme has been making the rounds lately.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, it's it's nice, but you really can't be everywhere either.
That's the other thing. I think we put a lot
of pressure on ourselves as parents today and I'm getting
to that because you can't do everything right. You want
to do everything, but you can. You also gotta make
the donuts. You gotta put bread on the table, you
gotta beat places, do things, see a man about a horse.
(06:11):
Like my dad used to say, Hey, yay, I got
places to go, people to see Dad. Where you're going
probably at the Nudi Bar. I don't know where dad was.
It was the eighties, nobody knew now. I do think
it is wild how parents are overly accessible. I mean,
I'll go to a kid's school event and we have
(06:32):
an unconventional schedule. We're on the radio, television, the things
we do over the years. I'm shocked how you could
go to a kid's school performance at ten thirty am
on a Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And it's packed, Like does anyone work?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't know how they do it? Yeah, I don't
know how they do it. Maybe management is more understanding
more than ever before. I don't know how parents dip out.
You know, you and I have the luxury of doing
our own podcast, being able to shift our schedule around
a little bit. You know, obviously we have to be
here for Fox Sports. But our boss is very understanding
because he also has kids, so that's always great. But
(07:07):
Billy Wagner again, sixteen years in the Bigs, retired in
twenty ten. He's a one, two, three, four, five, six,
like seven time All Stars something redicular.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Counting those little stars on baseball reference.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, I am, and to me, there's no debate on
whether or not when you really look at his numbers,
he's a Hall of Famer. But I do like what
he said. If I'm not because I retired early to
be with my family, then it's not a real Hall
of fame. Then I saw another story. Remember this is
a two prong two part doozy. When I say Prong,
(07:42):
snap your fingers, snap your necks to this story, there's
about five people that get that reference rich, I do
anybody who knows Prong. The band Ludacrous Danny g sent
us this story and I thought it was kind of interesting.
Rapper Ludacrouso.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's your fat c roll out?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You know that song is about he was in the
bathroom and he was stranded because they were out of TP.
No it is, look it up. So ludicrous is in
those and he says, as crazy as it sounds. He
posts a picture of him and this beautiful young woman,
and that beautiful young woman is his daughter. And by
(08:28):
the way, rich me, as the father of a teenage daughter,
sometimes when I'm at a restaurant with her, I almost
have to preface immediately that this is my daughter. This
isn't la creepiness going on here. It's a weird place
to be in when you look kind of young and
your kid's growing up. It really is. That's just a
side note because I do look at this picture and
(08:49):
that could be Ludacris's girlfriend for all I know. But
it's his daughter.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Dude, you have to tell the waiter no Belichick.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, that's what I usually say. You like out there
the check you have any ordered? I said, no, no, no, Belichick.
This is my kid. So Ludacros posts this picture of
his beautiful daughter. He's embracing her in this photo, and
he says, as crazy as it sounds, I always dreamt
of the day I would party in Vegas with my daughter,
(09:20):
but I also had reservations on how old I would feel.
Well that day has finally come, prayers. Now, who do
you think acted more immature in the club And he's laughing,
and it's kind of a cool daddy daughter moment where
you could share a drink, share a table, popping bottles,
you're ludicrous and your daughter gets to see you in
(09:41):
your element, just hanging. Not only has celebrity, but father
daughter having fun in Vegas. Dude, So that's kind of cool.
And then that got me thinking between Billy Wagner making
this ultimate sacrifice and Ludacrous just so yearning to party
with his kid dreamt of the day. I know not
(10:01):
that our parents didn't love us. Of course they did.
My parents are my biggest fan. That's not saying a lot,
but they tune in every day. I'm not sure my
parents could love me anymore than they do. I want
to make that clear.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
But don't you.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Think the level of the level of presence, you could say, involvement,
is just so next level in today's world. It goes
back to that Sebastian Man of Scalco bit, the comedian
Sebastian or old pal where. He's like, my dad didn't
even know a school. I where is school? What?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What greater are you? And I don't even know?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
No, And it's like it's so weird, how uninvolved looking back.
So I want to make it clear. It's not like,
oh I wish my dad hugged me. Daddy wasn't there
to take me to the fair. That's not what we're saying.
We're just saying, looking back, based on today's standard, how
uninvolved they were. Think about how involved you are, How
(11:01):
involved Billy Wagner is ludicrous.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Lebron James. The dude's sticking around, his toes.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Are bending, his feet are hurting, he's got gray beard,
no more hair in his head. He's sticking around just
to play with his son. My dad never wanted to
play with his son. I think about how like I
beg my parents, like play Nintendo with me, and they
were like, yeah, no, I'll do that, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And of course they loved us. That's just the way
it was. You would beg your parents, both of them.
My mom's not off the hook. I'd beg them to
play Nintendo with me, atari with me, And now today's
parent has this crazy amount of guilt if they're not
giving their kid as much attention as they possibly can.
Maybe it's the guilt we feel because we know we're
(11:44):
on our phone nine hours a day. I don't know
know what is it's social media because you're watching these
videos where it's.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Like you're gonna miss the fingerprints on the windows one
day and you get sucked into Mike Kitt'll say, is
it that said you want to play I want to
play Mario Party? And I don't want to, but I
hear that song Yo going to missus?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, but our parents had. My son arrived just the
other day, he said, thanks father, let's play.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
My parents had that song.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Don't you think it could be a whole generation of
kids who didn't have enough involvement maybe from their parents,
and so they're like, when I have kids, I'm gonna
be more involved.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, parents said that too, though. No, hell no.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
When we were kids, CO was about to be one.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, well, hold on, I can bet you that you've
changed more COT with diapers and.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
He's not even one than your dad did his whole life.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Carry Oh yeah, yeah he was. He was saying your
dad doesn't know what school you go to. My dad
didn't know what city I lived in.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, You It's amazing how they just operated on a
different level of h disconnect.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Maybe I just feel like when we were little kids,
it was more about the adults. It was the adults world.
We were just living in it. We didn't get to
tell them what we wanted for dinner. We didn't get
to call the shots for what was on TV. We
were the remote control. We got to go over and
change the channel to what they wanted. But it was
kind of like, it's about us adults. You kids be quiet, hurt.
(13:16):
Yeah exactly. And that over time, yeah, that over time
has evolved to where the parents take the back seat
and put their kids in the forest.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's true. The kids run the house nowadays, where your
dad would kick you in the ass if he wanted to.
And I want to make it very clear, this isn't
like a woe is Me session of whaw dude. My
parents were at every little league game, every baseball game,
got me everything I wanted. That's not my point, but
(13:43):
it really is crazy to see the level of connection
versus the disconnect. Almost like like we said, Ludacrous wants
to hang dude, I don't think I ever got a
like a burger with my dad, like ever? Ever, that's
the truth. Yet I feel like I got to take
my daughter out all the time just to keep her happy.
(14:04):
It's so crazy the level of expectation that and pressure
that we put on ourselves today as parents. It's nice
to see, but it's also I think we tried to
overcorrect it and we have to find a middle ground.
Like I don't think Billy Wagner needed to retire.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't, dude.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I just wrote down four quick examples that came into
my head of things that your parents may have loved you,
but they didn't do the things that our generation does.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I got one. I read my kids books. Did your
dad read your storytime?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Never? Not what my mom did though, yeah yeah, but
my dad never.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I won what I get away with all this?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
When my kids have a nightmare, I'm laying in their
beds snuggling with them.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Did your dad do cuddle time? Now?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
My dad came bunched in in his tidy whities. Hey
you made a judge your mouth, and I remember he
was like you like this guitar I had a guitar,
my mom, my grandma.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm like yeah, and he smashed it over his knees.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He's like, well, zippy, because I'm gonna bring something else,
kind of like what so no, the answer is no.
And by the way, I say this respectfully, my dad
is awesome. My dad is the greatest. He has five kids,
he loves all of us. He's my biggest supporter. That's
not it. I'm just saying, there's just a different level
of expectation. Yo, Danny g you mentioned the food thing.
(15:25):
You know how many times I stupidly catch myself asking
my kids like, is this.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay for dinner? Is Chick fil a? You're gonna do it?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, why am I asking them?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
We ask them for permission almost or for them to
tell us what to go get. Are you kidding? My
mom's favorite saying, and I'm sure you guys heard this too.
If you don't eat what I put on the table
for dinner, you're not eating.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No, my parents with that weren't that strict. But that's
the generation we grew up and for sure, like we
heard that all the time. What's the last one?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Rich? The last one?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And by the way, this all ties into Billy Wagner saying,
if I don't make the Hall of Fame because I
retire a little early to hang on my kids, it's
not a real Hall of Fame, and the double Doozy
Cavino pulled in Luda Ludacris, who said it's like a
dream come true to be able to party with his
daughter in Las Vegas. Just showing that he's different. He's
pulling out Lebron, you know, that's really what he's doing
(16:16):
in real life. And you're like, wow, man, look at
all these sacrifices. And not that our parents didn't make sacrifices,
it's just a different level of sacrifice. Of course, our
parents gave up everything. They gave up their youth, they
gave up everything to raise us. That's not what we're saying.
I gotta be respectful about that, because I really mean it.
They gave us life, you know, they gave us clothes,
(16:38):
they gave us everything they were able to give us.
It's just times changed so hard that the you know
what else happened too rich where mom took on a
lot of that responsibility. The today's mom wouldn't really do
those things unless the dad was involved. It became like
a joint project where if mom was changing diapers, mom
(17:01):
was changing diapers and dad was working or doing.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Whatever he was doing, mowing the lawn.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Right now, moms are like, come on, it's time to
change the diapers. It's like a joint mission.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
No, I don't know how that happened. So I had
the final one. I have another one. We took the
kids to a water park the other day. Yeah, and
it was almost like expected that they got a souvenir.
And I'm like, you kids don't realize, like a souvenir
that's like appetizers at a restaurant that you think this
didn't happen. How bad would your dad get? This is
(17:34):
like you know, if you're an eighties nineties kid. Even earlier,
free refills wasn't a thing. So if you're at a restaurant, if.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You're at a give me a case yourself.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
If you're at a Howard Johnson's in the eighties and
they gave you your your Shirley Temple or your your coke
before the meal came, and you finished it before the
meal came, your dad would be giving you a dirty
look because he wasn't getting you another one now final one,
and again we don't even need to say it. My dad,
(18:04):
your dad, we've done a show for years. They're two
of our biggest supporters. It's a different breed though, Big
Steve and my dad Greg listen, they're great dudes. But
I thought of this one because last night I'm down
here in Texas and I went to one of my
favorite burger places. If you know it, you know it,
Pee Terry's, Pete Terry's. I had a double cheeseburger and
(18:25):
I said, instead of the soda because I'm trying to
stay off the soda. If I'm gonna eat bad, upgrade
it to the vanilla shape.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh when I tell you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
My kids grabbed it and like, Dad, we want it,
and they finished like eighty percent of my shake. You
if your dad was having one of his favorite treats,
would he be like, yeah, take it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I can't even imagine, dude, I can't imagine. It's
just a different breed of dad, different breed of guy,
different breed of person. And it's nice to see. But maybe,
like we said, it is no overcorrection. Maybe a social
media I don't know where these pressures came from. But
maybe the pendulum swings back in the middle where there's
not so much pressure to be there for every little moment.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So the two part doozy Billy Wagner Ludicrous pulling a Lebron,
you know, partying with his daughter, but yearning and waiting
for the moment, and you know, your phone calls and
your thoughts on No, you know what, I did think
it was cool. Do you remember having your first drink
or your dad? I remember smoking weed with my dad
for the first time. I thought that was wild. I was.
I witnessed it. That was at your brother's wedding. Right
(19:31):
at the wedding, my dad's like, oh, and I'm like,
I'm gonna smoke with my dad.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
This is wild anyway. I guess we're both grown ups,
different generation.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No, I don't. I don't remember, like my first drink
with my dad, don't. I don't remember that. I don't.
I don't think so. So Ludicrous parties with his daughter now,
and to prove that there's something to it. I think
we all kind of feel that way. We all wish
we had a little bit of a Lebron moment at
some point, right some of us are gonna get it.
Some of us aren't because we're too old. Like Danny
(20:03):
g by the time you're Co is twenty one years old,
you're gonna one hundred and five.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Hey, I'm gonna be in my sixties. And I when
I saw the Luda story, that's the first thing I
thought of, is man when he's twenty one, I'm gonna
be going towards seventy. I hope I'm still here to
enjoy something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
One.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I know you're gonna be the old Little League coach, right,
but hey, you're gonna do what you can. Danny will
tell him of his club days in the nineteen hundreds.
But you know what, and to be fair, our parents
did what they could, and age did what they knew,
and they learned from an even colder, even stricter generation
(20:40):
of parents. That's really what it is.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Rich.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Our music is so good. You know, the DJ is
still going to be playing Luda records in twenty years
from now.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, by Usher, Luda and Lil John will play when
when Co is in college. So your thoughts on Billy
Wagner retiring for his kids when he still had and
he said he still had some gas and if it
costs in the Hall of Fame? Did he still make
the right decision? Your thoughts on partying with your kid,
your thoughts on the pressures of being a parent today,
(21:08):
and your thoughts on this and more. We also have
midweek major rich the biggest stories in the world of
sports and pop culture. Lots to get to.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo?
Speaker 7 (21:47):

You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you

Speaker 7 (21:56):
Let me put this into context.

Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Anyway, just listening to the Paully and Tony Fusco Show
on iHeartRadio, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yea, let's go to the phone, buddy, yea, thanks some feedback.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Who do we got, Danny guy.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Let's start with our friend Mason, the millennial in the
Bay Area.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
What Mason, Hey, guys, love the show, loves the vibe
you bring. I just wanted to offer this from a
different perspective, from like maybe the sun point of view. So, like,
nothing get too personal. But my dad, he was like
him and my mom were like separated for a little bit,
so that kind of created a lot of time for
(22:40):
me and my brother to spend with him, you know,
just on his own and like it was really cool,
like in the younger days, like he always made time
for us, and he's like a boss of his own
like construction company, so we always saw him as a boss,
and he like took us on the job and stuff
and always like made time for us, and like more
along in the older life, like when I was kind
(23:02):
of a teenager a young adult, you know, I got
to a point in time where like he knew I
was smoking, and like he eventually would like to party
with me, and like just recently, we're in a lake Tahoe,
And you know, this was honestly one of the best
times I've ever had with him. We were like at
the casino to like four or five am, gambling, making
(23:25):
thousands of dollars together, and like after we enjoyed this
burger at this one place.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
And it was so cool. It was just me and
him and that was.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Honestly such an awesome moment for me and him.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
So he always made time for us, and it really
impacted my life as a youth, and you know even
as a young adult.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh great story, man, thanks for sharing. Mason the millennial
everybody would win thousands of dollars, I know, right. Billy Wagner,
by the way, guys, just just you know, to make
it clear, he said he had guests in the tank
his last season, he was thirty eight, and you know
he was seven and two with a one point four
to three ERA thirty seven saved.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So he wasn't even dwindling.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
He was like still primo Billy Wagner when he said, yeah,
my kids are more important. Would you have called it
a day if you got to live the dream as
a big leaguer? I wonder how old his kids were.
That's how I need to know. I wish I knew that.
I guess we could figure that out. But yeah, yeah,
I'll look that up for you right now. That's that's
a big sacrifice, man, you know, quitting dude, leaving anything
(24:28):
moving on. Even if you felt like you were done,
it's still a big decision to make, right. Gus in
Los Gatos, what that?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Gus? What's up?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Gus Gustavo?
Speaker 9 (24:41):
Hey, I just wanted to give Billy Wagner a quick
perseverance shout out. You know, as the story goes, he
was a right handed pitcher growing up and he broke
his arm. His arm was in a cast as a
young kid. Shortly after the cast came off, he rebroke
his arm and taught himself how to pitch left handed.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's insane.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
And not only taught himself how to pitch, I mean
the guy's throwing.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yah, what is he?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Three?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (25:11):
So the guy's election. He deserves a lot of credit,
really is he should go to the hall. But that
should be on his Hall of Fame plaque, that perseverance story.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And and do we give him rich? Do you give
him extra credit for doing this for his kids?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is that something you should be like, we all respect it,
there's no question. But do you give him like even
more of a of a of a Hall of Fame
vote because of that? Like, you know what, man, you
deserve it. He's a well rounded guy. Listen, Tom Brady
finally walked away, and many would argue that he lost
that little opportunity and window because he played too long.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
May have tor part his marriage for all.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You know, by the way, I thought he was gonna say,
Billy Wagner pulled the little big league not little big
league rookie the year. But he's like he had the
cast twice. I'm like, oh my god, he took it
off and he threw a hundred. No, a lot of
people don't realize that's the kid from American Pie.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I don't think everybody realizes that or makes that connection.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
All right, somebody do some quick math here. Uh oh,
So Wagner has four kids. Has fourth arrived in September
two thousand and six. At the time, they had three
other children eight five and three in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh okay, and that's when was that eight five to
three and the one was born in six So he
played four more years so four to seven, nine, and
so his kids were twelve, nine, seven and four. That's
in the mix of dad life. So he said, I
have a twelve year old who's about to be a
teenager at nine, seven and four, I have a seven
and four year old. It's primo dad time right now.
(26:46):
So I admire Billy Wagner's decision, That's what I'm saying.
He got to admire it, and I would give him
if I was cool enough to have a vote, like, yeah,
of course, dude. I mean it's that speak for themselves.
But that just adds to the awesomeness of the story.
And again he retired in twenty ten, So that's it.
Are are parents way more involved now? Yes? Are we
(27:07):
too involved?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Maybe? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You know. So it's not necessarily pointing fingers on our
parents or their generation because they did a great job. Hey,
they raised us. I don't want to harp on this long.
I'm gonna be watching Receiver like everyone else tonight. Eight
episodes out, So you gotta watch that Knuckleback, that Nickelback
documentary on Netflix when you're done. It's pretty to download that.
I'm flying to New York tomorrow, so I'm gonna download
(27:33):
that for the flight.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But it's called hate to Love.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's interesting because they were the biggest rock band of
the two thousands and everybody just ended up loving to
hate those dudes. So that's the story. It's not necessarily
about my love of Nickelback. It's an interesting story that
you might want to check out. I saw that so
after your receiver and catching up on hard Knocks, and
maybe you could check that out.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
So receiver.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
One of the miked up moments that's gone a little
a little viral today was Travis Kelcey talking to George Kittle,
the two best tight ends in football. Arguably they know
the top five to ten. Ever they must work out.
So it comes out that Travis Kelcey is insinuating. I'm
(28:17):
pretty much saying that he paid three milli so that
Taylor could have the suite at the Super Bowl. Must
be nice, sounds about right, Must be nice.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
Well, I remember there was speculation because wasn't Olivia Colpo
and family and Christian McCaffrey's family. Weren't they talking about
like she was getting, you know, some flak because they
thought that she spent that kind of money on a
booth and she was like, we're not spending money on that,
We're not spending money on a suite, So.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I mean, Kelsey makes a pretty penny, but three million
for a suite, you're really you're rolling out the red
carpet for your your new love here.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
I do wonder though, ask you to does like Taylor
pitching because she clearly has a ton of money.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Is she being like, oh, I'll cover the bill.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
There's another story out today saying that they spend three
hundred thousand dollars a day on their romance.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
The average person, according to a meme, I saw two
hundred and fifty dollars a day, same thing on average,
just sitting around like expenses and meals.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's crazy. That's a number.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's a high number, but around there when you think
about it. When you think about it, if you have
you're on vacation, regular day, A dinner's like one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I've already spent fifteen dollars during the show.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
A lot of people don't make a lot of people
don't make two hundred and fifty dollars. That's why everybody's
in debt. It's called an average rich. Yeah, continue carry
on Travis Kelcey making grand gestures and dude, that's great,
that's grand, that's wonderful. But I'm here to tell you that,
although it's a nice thing to do, and I do
think you should go all out when you found that
(30:00):
someone and you're trying to make an impression, it really
doesn't mean a whole lot. It really doesn't. Well listen,
it's the size of your steeple, right, Like I remember
someone said, can you believe jay Z spent millions on
something for Beyonce? And my first thought was, yeah, jay
Z spending a couple mill He's like you spend a
couple hundred. If Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift to have
(30:21):
a combined net worth.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Of well, mostly because.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Of her billions and billions and billions, and I mean,
dropping three mil for a luxury suite seems crazy, but
that would be like I mean, I spent a couple
thousand dollars on a Super Bowl ticket. I mean, when
you do the math, isn't that sort of the same thing. Yeah,
you're right, it's all relative, no doubt, no diggity. So uh,
(30:44):
this is gonna require some solve for X kind of math.
But he just signed break out your tia. I gotta
you know you multiply cross crossways in the X. He
just signed a two year, thirty four point two five
million dollars deal with seventeen million garant. So he spent
three million of that just to take his girl to
the to the football games. Not just any girl, and
(31:06):
I understand making. It's what I'm saying, impression. She made
what thirty four million on her last three shows. I'm
sure she had to pitch it. She would probably had
to say.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
Like, hey, listen, a lot of my security, a lot
of my friends, they're all going to be there, Ice
Spice is going to be there looking like a little orphan.
Any Maybe I'll throw in a few mill or I'll
throw like a half of it in.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Look at it this way, look at it this way. Spot.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
If you make let's say one hundred thousand dollars, ten
percent of your salary is ten thousand dollars. If you
make a million dollars, now you're talking about one hundred
thousand dollars. If Travis Kelsey spent three million, and let's
say he makes roughly between endorsements and everything, thirty mil,
that's that's still his steeped.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
Yeah, he spent ten percent of his salary on one
day steep Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
But I again, you do those things to make that
impression early on, moved.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
The dude moved the house because Taylor Swift was dating.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Dude, you don't think I did crazy things and spent money.
I didn't have to make great impressions on the women
I was with because you're trying to win at that point,
you're trying to be like, Yo, I'm the dude, and
this is why, and this is how much I like you,
and like I'm saying, although it's great, and I'm not
saying you shouldn't do those things. I don't know if
it really means a lot. Like my ex right, dude
(32:23):
did so many grand things, maybe to overcompensate for other stuff.
I have no idea, but looking back, dude got me
sweet ass tickets for me and my brother to an
All Star game, the last All Star game at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
So what year was that?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Their last All Star game at the old Yankee Stadium?
Because that meant a lot to me. She bought me, like, dude,
crazy expensive tickets. With those tickets and autograph Jeter bat
inside a case and the ball and all these extra extravagant.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Things, but look what ended up happening. Like, does it
hold any weight? Is my point? Does it mean that
you love anybody anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You know, I don't tell, so I don't think you
need to do that. I'm not discouraging anyone from showing
people that they care, but I don't think it necessarily
means a whole lot now besides football and gambling and
baseball and sports and pop culture and music. I don't
know if you realize I'm a expert in love.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Wait, everyone did this start?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Oh it's in my bio, Danny G.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I don't know if you knew that, But no, everyone's
happen there and run because he's these doctor. Yeah, they
call him doctor Love.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
He told me.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I'm just saying we've we've discussed these silly things where
I mean not silly, but everyone has their own love language.
Like some people like material things, some people just want
you to spend time with them, some people want physical touch.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Everyone wants something different. So you might have dated someone that's.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Like, I show my love by buying things and y'all
three mil three MILLI for a suite, even if you're
ball and we just did the math. It's sort of
you know, think of your salary. Are you willing to
spend ten percent of your annual income on something other
than like a home or a car?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
No, ask yourself that.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Do you think he was exaggerating a little bit? No? No,
because I'm looking right now and it says sweets there
in Vegas were eight hundred thousand to a little over
two million, depending on the type of sweet. And you
don't think the NFL would give him any sort of break.
Maybe they because he was in the game.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
No, maybe they jacked up the price because they knew
Taylor Swift was going to be there. I got Swift dollars.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
No, she made them so much.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, she did so much for the league. Maybe maybe
it's an exaggeration. I'm curious to hear you know more
about it. But hey, listen, rich people spend money. Think
about you know, people made a big deal when they
saw Jlo flying commercial because people like that fly private
all the time. You don't think it costs money to
fly private and do all these things. That's why rich
people it seems like, man, they don't have to work ever. Again,
(34:58):
when you live that lifestyle, you need to maintain some.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Most extravagant thing you did.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
You had to do something because, as people love to say, rich,
you well kicked your coverage.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Oh well, see, I mean for my wife.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I mean I was just I was flying to so
we did long distance for a little while, and I
was flying every week to see her. You've done the
same for her, love. I remember the most extravagant thing
I did. Oh boy, I'm gonna take you back. Let's
hear it from daddy still the.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay, early two thousands. You're rocking your boot cuts looking
like Dane Cook.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And my girlfriend had dumped me.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh boy, So I went to k jewelers, Yes, got
her a necklace, went to her dorm room, knocked on
the door and said take me back, and she slammed
the door on my face. Really didn't work salary at
the honestly spot at the time, when I was in college,
(35:56):
it probably was ten percent of myself. I don't know
if that's extravagant or just desperate. And everybody has a
desperation moment like that. I think we've all done something desperate,
like did they let you return it?
Speaker 7 (36:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Said, I drove home crying Danny J and uh that's
when I got into radio. So every slam jor in
the face begins with K. Is that the slogan?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah? I think it is. Every dispe begins with K.
I think so.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
So share your stories if you have an extravagant moment. Yo,
you were so head over heels, you did blank, you
went overboard. It's not spending three million for a suite,
I promise you that. But I'm sure we've all done something. Yeah,
let me ask. Let me ask Moncy Bolanos if her
or any of her girlfriends have ever had a guy
(36:42):
do something stupid where it's like, goh, that's too much.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Stop stop it.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
I mean, I think, like you said, in comparison to
what they make right. So, I did have a friend,
oh who they broke up, and he I think realized
that he was the one that messed up. So he
like bought her Drake tickets and he didn't have any
money and the seats were in the nosebleeds. But it
was like for him, it was like he he he
definitely spent you know, a chunk of his money when
(37:08):
he didn't have it, and.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Then it was like five hundred bucks he didn't have.
Speaker 11 (37:11):
That he didn't that he did not have, and he
was like definitely trying to win her back. It didn't work, you.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Know what, never does. That's a mix of desperation and
extravagant considering how much money he didn't.
Speaker 11 (37:23):
He didn't have, so for him, that was like a lot,
you know.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
What I mean?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Watzi, I have I have a female friend that every
time I see her with a new piece of extravagant jewelry.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
You're like, what do he do?
Speaker 2 (37:33):
No, the answer is her husband did something. I say,
what do you do? What do you do? Yeah, exactly, dude.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Anytime I see anybody with flowers, like walking around the street,
I'm like, it's either someone's birthday or anniversary or they're
in the dog Yep.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Yeah, you know that those people, by the end of
the day do sell those flowers because of all those reasons,
of all those reasons.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Hey, you're fat, I know you got something to share.
Speaker 7 (37:55):
Yeah, So obviously this isn't me this, but this was
something I saw around me that kind of had me
wondering on this. So no, no, no, no no. So this
girl I dated was while I was at USC She
had had a problem with someone else who was also
a student at USC who would not leave her alone.
(38:15):
I think this guy was trying to act nice, but
it was incredibly creepy. He would constantly drop off like
meals for her at her apartment and everything, and like
at one point she actually got me to like just
kind of escort him out of the apartment building.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Sure wasn't like a grubhub guy.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
No, this was not. This was not.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
But I remember his last final salvo, and this was
after she had told him off and everything was. I
was walking by the apartment complex one day and right
out in front of her door was this giant, seven
foot tall teddy Bear from one of those like giant teddies,
(38:53):
which I think go for around like three hundred dollars
or so. And I'm like, this is and and like
you know, ralphs and some pre made soup and whatnot.
I'm like, this is creepy as hell. Long story short,
I came by the next day and that thing was
in the trash uh, the trash bin. Poor poor that
thing was in the dumpster.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
You know what, women are cold blooded when they're not interested,
and it's really done that those gifts and gesture.
Speaker 7 (39:16):
This guy this was beyond this was beyond that, like
this was this was a man who was very very
unwell to keep continuing.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Here's my here's my advice. Again. As you see my
business card, it says uh, love expert, like Riches loved
mine says love tycoon. I'm sorry. You have to pull
these moves when things are good. When things are bad,
it's never gonna resolve the issues or get her back.
And that's our weird fantasy.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
You just think, you look, that's the weakest.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That's when she's like, yeah, this guy's weak, I'm not
interested anymore.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And the other guy there.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
Was something there to begin with. What I'm saying is
there was not this was the move.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I'm just saying in general, and and you gotta do
these things when when times are good. That's it. If
you're gonna make any impact, that's how you do it. Now,
the winner of all time, the winning grand gesture isn't
Taylor Swift getting a three million dollars suite for the
Super Bowl. It's not some big teddy bear in a
(40:14):
profet story. It's not me buying an exa necklace or
your ex wife Banya Yankees tickets.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
The story as far as like.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Grand gestures, whether it's good or a desperation move. Was
it Kanye who got Kenny G to play a private
awkward moment for Kim K Yeah, and I remember.
Speaker 10 (40:37):
He was surrounded by a bunch of vases so like
he couldn't move out of the room, like he was
like surrounded.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
And then he also had he also had a hologram
of her dead father, Like Kanye is a man of
grand gesture.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, but look see it didn't work. It didn't work,
doesn't mean a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Maybe, like I said, maybe it's over compensation for other things.
Doesn't matter. Those things don't matter. I'm not discouraging people
for expressing how they feel, but doesn't really mean you
care more than anyone else. It doesn't right. Well your
thoughts at Covin on rich and I want to throw
this out there real quick because I know we got
midweek major and other stuff to get to. But I
(41:18):
don't know if you saw Donald Trump. President Trump laid
out a challenge to President Biden and there's an update
which is our bring it up. So take a listen
to Donald Trump.
Speaker 12 (41:29):
I'm also officially challenging tricking Joe Old golf maats right
here on Morales Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest
tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the
great courses of the world.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
It will be among the.
Speaker 12 (41:47):
Most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the
Writer Cover or even the Masters.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
I will give him ten smokes aside, and if he wins,
I will give.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
He was one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
So is that doctor evil? It sounds so weird.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
It's such a weird just comment, I should say. He
throws the challenge out, and Biden's team responded saying, Joe
Biden doesn't have time for Donald Trump's weird antics.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
He's busy leading America and defending the free world.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
But I do ask you, on a serious note, put
aside whether you care about Biden or Trump.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
If you politics aside.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
You can see politics aside all you want. People always
bring it back to politics, no matter what. I know
you're doing it just to just to try, because I
know that's your intention.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
But good luck.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yeah, Richie just said he was leading America. He's not
leading America. Somebody's gonna tweet you that right now.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah, And then I said that I quote Trump, and
everyone's like, yeah, you're Trumper, doesn't do you know? It's
funny if here's where I think something Donald Trump said
in jest isn't isn't unrealistic. I think if Joe Biden
and Donald Trump played eighteen holes of golf and they
(43:13):
filmed it and it was a live event, I think
it would be watched more than the US Open, the Masters,
the Writers anything. I think it would be the most
watched golf event in a decade. Oh yeah, I agree
with that. Tiger Woods, since Tiger in his prime. Since
I mean, I think who wouldn't watch at least the
(43:35):
first couple holes. I would watch, and I don't watch golf.
I think most people would. I agree with that. Rich
Let me ask you a question and we'll take some
phone calls and feedback on this as well. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine one Fox, would you rather see this
eighteen holes of golf or another debate?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Well, we're going to see the second debate, and so
what would you?
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Yeah, and he said one of the most highly watched
sporting events ever, something along those lines. I think Tyson
Jake Paul would have more of a viewership.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Imagine and they put it on one car together.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
I'm just doing out there the begad day of sports
for added debate and speculation, I do I think Tyson
Jake Paul November fifteenth would have more streamers. You're assuming
that everybody cares about these dudes, and look, we care
more about politics than we ever did before. I know that,
but I don't know if everybody be tuning in the
way you think. No. I listen to see who's competent,
(44:34):
to see the issues, to hear people out. The debate
is more important, right, But if you're telling me people
whenn't watch Donald Trump and Joe Biden golf, I'm intrigued what.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
They would wear.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
I want to say they're golf outfits. I want to
see what clubs they're using. I want to see who
their caddies are.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
What if they had like random like.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Wait, who's his caddy? Dana White's caddy? Who's he bringing?
Like who's gonna be walking the course? It would be
a major event and as much of a circus as
this seems to be, it sounds just about right like
this could or would happen. I'm surprised that it's been
dismissed like that again, isn't it didn't Biden?
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Wasn't he the one that sort of brought it up?
Speaker 1 (45:15):
If I'm not mistaken, he said, And Trump said he'd
give him ten strokes.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
It's like almost fake. I can't even believe it's real.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
But just you know, a good question to ask your
your wife or girlfriend of your buddy tonight if you're
getting some drinks, Hey, would you watch for real? If
Trump and Biden golf? And I think most people would say.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
Here in the studio, a little survey of our own,
I'd watch Danny J I'd watch the first couple holes
spot Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Oh yeah, of course probably not. No, I knew you
were gonna say that. I don't know why. I just
knew it. I mean I knew, I knew it before yesterday.
Speaker 10 (45:48):
I wanted narrated by Rob Wriggle and Joe tessitur like, uh,
Snoop Dogg just for a Snoop dog color comment.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
MANSI would you watch, of course?
Speaker 11 (45:57):
And I make a bingo game out of it?
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Real, by the way, I would have bet. I would
have bet my life.
Speaker 7 (46:05):
And you have a reason why back, dude, I because
this is obviously a stunt that they've set up that
either like there's there's no right way to turn this
down at all, and to be honest, no, I just
know I don't even like the celebrity boxing matches. I
want to watch a real sport. I'm sorry. I want
real competition, real athletes out there. I don't need this.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
You know what the other you're really downplaying entertainment factor.
Speaker 7 (46:30):
I've got other things entertain me. If I'm not gonna
do the faux half sports.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
I'm not going to say that our country should revolve
around a stupid golf match between Biden and Trump. I
I do agree that's silly, right, But Nate Diaz fought
Mosby Doll in the boxing ring this weekend. The fight
meant nothing, but it was super entertaining. So you're you're
missing out on that fun just on your stance.
Speaker 7 (46:51):
No, I'm watching COPA Euros and anime loser.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
I want to thank you for filling in yesterday. I
thought he was busy taking jim selfies him and Spot.
I don't know who posts more jim selfies.
Speaker 10 (47:07):
I had shoulder surgery six months ago and I finally
feel normal.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Cut me some slack we should have a Jim Selfie off,
let's do it. I was gonna say, you and VJ.
Vernon Husky should do who has more kissy faced jim Selfie?
How don't do kissy faces?
Speaker 2 (47:21):
All right, well he do it. It's come on Week
Major in a second. I know, I okay, you know.
Speaker 10 (47:25):
I would like a little bit of time to give
you a story, maybe two hit it.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
Week where mid Week Major Major. I love that we
throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like the kids.
Speaker 5 (47:45):
Say, that's some week definitely.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Major seeing our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
Remix because we are running, we are running late.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Oh Rich has another story.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
It's hey, Danny g you got moneyball Mallard's ass penny?
Speaker 3 (48:03):
I do right?
Speaker 2 (48:04):
All right, nice.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this segment, we are gonna not roll
the Big Red Love Dice because Dicky Tajos is in Texas.
There them something else I almost swore on the radio.
My bad. All right, I have the butt penny here
from Ben Mallard. I'm editing.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
We're calling at that.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
Yeah, I know this is the famous Benny versus the
Penny penny. All right, rich you're away, You go ahead
and call though I'll go tails. It is tails as
all right in now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous
person from Scotch Playing's New Jersey besides Judy Bloom. Spotty boy,
you're trying.
Speaker 10 (48:47):
To deny me from sharing all the drama in one
of the four major sports, and that would be hot
dog eating. Oh boy, I don't know if you've heard
about this. All eyes were on the Joey Chestnut lists.
Nathan's hot dog eating contest is passed forth before the
July Patrick Bertolletti earned the top spot with fifty eight
hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
Well in fourth place. Here's where the drama starts.
Speaker 10 (49:06):
Nick Wherry, who is also the husband of the women's
champ Miikiy Pseudo, is facing allegations that he cheated to
boost his numbers. His tally at the end was forty
six point seventy five, but apparently people are accusing him
of walking around picking up empty plates, pulling the stack
over by him, and then demanding a recount, putting him
(49:29):
up to fifty one point seventy five, and apparently once
you get above fifty, it's like a covenant spot.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
It's the next tier up.
Speaker 10 (49:35):
So he's denying the allegations, of course, saying he would
never do such a thing.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
They reviewed footage, but they're sticking by the decision.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Midweeker major Wow, he's the Houston Astros of hot Yeah,
my goodness, I think this is the most non story
of all time.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
He's fourth place on a hot.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
Dog st wife when Rich and I agree, it's fact.
This is super weak.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
He honey, and still coming forth right.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
That's the weakest. That's the weakest story ever. So And
you know what, though it is a big story for
whatever reason today, maybe Major League eating is really going
next level.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Man. People love drama.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
Man all over the headlights.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
It really is all over.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
So all right, he had forty six point seven five
in reality, they're saying, but fifty one if he cheated,
what was the winning fifty eight? So okay, Patrick Bertolotti.
Bertolotti had fifty eight. Yeah, this is the weakest story. Okay,
I'll take place, beat it all right, let's continue with
the weak stories. I don't know if you saw this
funny clip floating of it. It's on a twin Star Joe.
Speaker 10 (50:39):
Ryan must have been feeling the heat was a little
hot and sticky at Chicago, because he was caught on
camera dousing his nether regions in baby powder during the
top of the seventh inning. After Carlos Korea hit a
home run. The cameras followed Korea back to the dugout
where he was chatting with Ryan. You can see Ryan
he get rabs his waistband, yanks it out, starts dumping
in the baby powder just as he's casually talking to Korea.
(51:01):
That just you know, lets the band go and what
keeps going? But they did draw attention to it midweek
or major.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
It's funny. I think it's sort of like the week.
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
I'll tell you why, because first of all, I don't
know if he did it for the cameras because that's funny.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Then it's major and it's like, yo, good move. But
what is he a schoolboy?
Speaker 1 (51:19):
I put powder on my son's privates after a pool
day in chasing.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
What is he doing?
Speaker 1 (51:24):
Yeah, I'm not into this chalkiness, This powdery feeling not
my vibe. I think this is a mid story. I
don't think it's weak. It's mid and I'll give it
a mid because it did go extremely viral. I think
it's funny. It's relative proximity funny, meaning it's sports funny.
Sport's not that funny. But when you see something like this,
you're like, oh, wow, did you see that? I can't
(51:44):
believe I saw that. But I'm with Rich, like, who
does that? I don't like powdery huevos. You know, I'd
rather rocket bat wing than that cakey mixture that form.
No thanks, all right?
Speaker 2 (51:56):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (51:57):
The revelations are rolling out thanks to HBO's Hard Knocks
off season with the New York Giants, and Giants fans
are not too happy. The latest episode shows the Giants
GM doing whatever he can to keep Saquon Barkley as
part of the team.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
However, when the.
Speaker 10 (52:11):
News originally broke, Barkley had posted on Twitter that he
never got an offer to go back to the Giants,
so fans are calling him out posting this clip.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
It's going viral midweek or major?
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Well, I mean I think it's major because you're able
to see like who's bs and or not?
Speaker 2 (52:29):
Right? Like are these people men of their word?
Speaker 1 (52:32):
The reality is Saquon's at a better place if the
Giants are going to compete. It's got to be on
the arm of Daniel Jones anyway, So we shall see
I guess right, story not yet total. This is very major.
As Warner Wolf used to say, let's go to the
video tape. Video proves and says otherwise. So it makes
Saquon Barkley look like a liar, liar pants on fire,
(52:54):
and it shows you how we never really know the truth.
And that's what's cool about Hard Knocks. Everybody sleeping on
this giant story. Oh the Giants, Who cares? I don't
give about Daniel Jones. Yo, you were seeing some really
juicy stuff on the first two episodes.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
I thought the first one was juicy.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
Danny G said the second one was even better because
you're really hearing stuff that you're like, wow, I can't
believe I'm hearing this.
Speaker 10 (53:18):
We were saying that Danny and I were saying that
this season is a little bit juicier because they did
start back in January, where they usually start a little
bit further into the season.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
So rich you're hearing all the management and the GM's
talking about like what to do with the players and
get rid of them, and it's really crazy to hear
them talking about these people like they're like they're not people.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
And then the second episode you hear Sat Kwan give
his word, So yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Think it's I think it's major. I also heard, also heard,
could you say the word juicy twelve times? Juice?
Speaker 1 (53:48):
Juice juicy?
Speaker 10 (53:49):
He's like David Swimmer, all right, last one, wrap it
up with us. The grumpiest man alive is apparently a swifty.
Bill Pelicheck joined Travis Kelce Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in
Kelsey Sweet at Taylorsoft's Ara Tours' performance Aristur performance in Amsterdam.
Onlookers said that they saw the coach bsing with Mahomes
(54:10):
and Kelsey having some fun. However, no photos of surface
and we're there's no word as to whether or not
his twenty three year old girlfriend was there, but it
makes sense that she would have been the inspiration to
get him to go to a Taylor's with concert, or
maybe his heart's just softening now that he's a retired
midweek er.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
Major. I think it's major. That was his girlfriend's first CD.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
Right, Taylor chefs Man, you know say the same thing.
This is extremely major because you're just clearly seeing him
cater to his twenty four year old girlfriend. Next, he's
gonna be going to see Jojo siwas and going to
Camp Flogna to see Tyler the Creator, just to appease
his his twenty four year old girlfriend. I hear he
chose Kendrick over Drick now seriously. Yeah, he's all involved
(54:54):
in invest he's doing TikTok dances. This is his life now,
and we're gonna see more and more of this side
of Belichick. You have to look, if you're going to
date a twenty four year old girl, then that's gonna
be your life. I mean, you see the stuff I
deal with with the age difference of my girlfriend. Nowhere
near that age difference. But that's just it comes to
the territory. I heard Bill Belichick comment that he goes
(55:17):
the concert was definitely not skimmitty toilet skimbity.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
Ohio, riz on that all right, I'm on, Si take
it away, please,
