American Steve Cabino, we be rocking. Let's get this weekend
going Thursdays to New Friday. Shout out to USA and
it's basketball to win. They compete on Friday against Saturday
(01:10):
for the goal. You know what I always said, Covino,
I'm a real American, fight for the rights of every man.
I'm a real American, fight for my rights, fight for
what's right. I'm just quoting Hulkulgan's theme song. Know what
I always say, I just read T shirts that my
dad has, these colors, don't run. What other shirts does
(01:31):
your dav have? You have them too? USA all day?
That is true and USA on assay, all the vaptos,
locals and the barrio thanks for tuning in to the greatest.
According to Mebino and I wanted Team USA to win,
but I was I was jokingly saying that if they
had lost, it just it would have been I think,
(01:52):
more fun content to talk about, like oh USA lost. Truthfully,
I don't think it makes you an American. It just
makes you excited to see a natural disaster, sort of like, oh,
this will be crazy if Serbia wins, you know, oh man,
because the news cycle gets exciting after that. I will
tell you this my observation. Lebron looking nasty, but looking
(02:15):
like old man Winter with that beard. He's gotta die
the beard. What did Emmitt Smith say? No play for
mister Gray. You don't want to advertise that you're getting older.
We all know. That's just my observation. But either way
they won this all that matters. So we have lots
to get to today. Who you want to punch in
the nose? Besides Rich Dates, Thanks, yeah, besides your boss.
(02:40):
We're gonna talk about it. Who do you want to
punch in your nose? I've a dumb sports hypothetical for you,
but I want to read the tweet of Jason McIntyre
from the herd here in Fox Sports. Sure, what do
you say? Said it's over? We lost entire quarter to go,
but we're down fifteen. And then he tweeted himself. He
tweeted himself reverse Jinks always comes through, never a doubt
(03:04):
he meant to this list. There were a lot of
people that were like, yo, with down fifteen, what is
going on here? But hey, it's a solid squad of
superstars going for the goal. They won ninety five ninety
one Team USA BRO. When they needed to deliver, Lebron
went coast to coast, Kevin Durant hit a sweet jump shot.
Like when they needed it, they got it. Yep, Caveno
(03:26):
and Rich broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studio
tire rack dot Com. We'll help you get there. An
unmatched selection fast free shipping. Free Road has a protection
over ten thousand recommended installers tire iraq dot com the

(03:46):
just bar sponsor for the studio they're hooking you up.
How about this four new tires valued at fifteen hundred

Sports Radio dot com. Every day you could register for
a new chance to win, taxes, fees, installation. All that
included fifteen hundred dollars worth of Sweet Tire Act tires,
(04:08):
all furnished by tyrac dot com. The way tire buying
should be. Now again, who do you want to punch
in the nose? Based on this Chris Carter Skip Bayless
story plus Old School and fifty hits. We do it
every Thursday. We reminisced we turned back the clock, Old
School and fifty hits. It's gonna involve movie plots that
(04:32):
wouldn't fly today. We'll explain why. But if you want
to get ahead, start and start thinking about it. By
all means, get ahead movie plots that just wouldn't fly today.
Vince Vaughn in the news this week, saying that they
don't make comedies the way they used to. They just
don't know. He said that rated AR comedies are on
life support, right, so we'll think it. When you think
(04:52):
of all the great comedies, there's a couple here and there. Well,
we'll get to it. But like the Ricky Stinicky's of
the World, and there was a movie The Wrong Missy.
There's been a couple funny ones on Netflix. But the
idea of an R rated comedy most that you would mention.
You're not realizing you're almost twenty years old or twenty
years old. People say the last great comedy was super Bad.
(05:14):
I don't know about the maybe weddings. Yeah, those are
the last great step Brothers. Perhaps, but it's been a
long time that quotable adult comedy sort of extinct for
a minute. And there's reasons. But movie plus that wouldn't fly.
We'll get to that too. But Rich, I know you
had something first. Well Danny G. Yeah, Hi, Danny G.
(05:34):
How you doing, super producer? Hey? Happy Thursday? And hi
Iowa Sam and Dan Meyer and Fox Sports Radio Nation.
Are you are you a little nervous? Dandy G? Or
no about the Dodgers. See, you knew what I was
talking about because I already knew where you were going
to look at the standings. And I'm a standings watcher.
Some people are not. My friends make fun of me
(05:55):
that I'm always looking at standings and oh who who's
this team playing next week or the week after? Sure,
but watcher so that as well. Two things I watch
all the time and standings. Here's something that the Fox
Sports Radio Nation might not know. Where we get ready
every day for the show. We have a little pre
show meeting and we go through ideas. We sit at
(06:17):
the table by the kitchen over there, and our building
is connected to a yoga studio. So you see all
these hot yoga butts one walking in and out past
our little lunch spot, and Rich Davis can't even focus
on what we're talking about because all he's doing is staring.
You think I picked that spot by accident. Yeah, I
(06:37):
bet you. Nobody knew that. But we're right next door
to a yoga studio. I'm a I'm a scoreboard watcher.
I'm a standings watcher. It's too much like I get freakswatch.
Like my buddies make fun of me because I'll be
rooting against the Padres now and they're like dude, this
a month and a half, two months left of baseball,
and I'm like, oh no, but I you know, I'm
looking at the wild card. But Danny, as much as
I look at the standings, if you would have asked
(06:58):
me this morning and again, I watch baseball every day,
I would never have guessed that you guys are down
to a two and a half game lead in a
National West. You haven't been paying attention to all the injuries.
I know I haven't, But I thought while the Diamondbacks
and the Padres have both been scorching hot, I'm pretty
sure the Padres have won sixteen of their last eighteen games.
(07:22):
I still thought in my big old noggin that one
of the Dodgers got like a five or six game
lead two and a half. You know what it is?
Holy could be real about baseball. Unlike football, baseball fans
pretty much stick to their team. You're not really focused
on the other teams. You'll see the highlights here and early.
Oh yeah, Tani wit Yard again, it's regional. Yeah, absolutely,
(07:44):
Like I watch baseball every night, I'm watching the Yankees.
You think I give a ditty squad about what the
Padres are doing? I could watch are the Diamondbacks. I
could watch the two worst NFL teams and be so engaged,
but you have a general idea. The point is, Richard,
know that this gap closed that hard. I knew it
was closing. But again, you're not. Are you really watching
a a Pirates Twins game on a Wednesday night? Most
(08:08):
most fans are zoned in on their teams, unlike football,
where you've got a pretty great understanding of I've been
analyzing the Wildcard every day as a Mets fan, like
a nerd. I'm like, oh, half a game out. No, now,
we're half a game up. Oh we're a game behind,
We're a game up. We're the two seed in the Wildcard.
All along, I'm watching the Padres and the Diamondbacks every day,
I'm like, one again, the Diamondbacks yesterday swept the Guardians,
(08:32):
the best team at that time in the American League.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How about the Padres. They've had two ninth inning comebacks
in a row.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
This morning, i was like, oh, five to four Pirates
in the ninth inning. Oh ride. And then I'm looking
at my phone. I'm like, oh the runner on first,
runner on second base is loaded. Damn Padres. They score
three in the ninth and they win again, and I'm like,
you know, they sneak it up on the Dodgers two
and a half games, and I take a look at
(08:58):
the schedules, a couple overlapping teams, but the Dodgers, who
are injured, and still you got to give the Dodgers
credit to stay in first place with all of those injuries,
and even guys that had to step away for you know,
completely legitimate reasons, like a Freddie Freeman for his child.
The Dodgers have never I feel like all season, they
(09:18):
haven't been a full capacity yet they're still in first place.
But right now by two and a half games, and
you guys play other than the Pirates coming up, the
Brewers over five hundred, Cardinals over five hundred, Mariners over
five hundred, Rays over five hundred, Orioles over five hundred.
(09:39):
You have, by no means a cake schedule coming up.
And the Padres have the Marlins, Pirates, Rockies, they have
a few. You could say, Danny Gay Dodders fans should
be scared, or you could say, hey, it's remarkable that
with all those injuries they're still able to hold that lead,
any lead at all, because that's kind of how I
feel about I hate to say the Yankees, like, you
(10:01):
know how bad they were the past few months, yet
they still have the most wins, tied for the most
wins in the BIGS, and they're tied for first in
the Al East. So you could say, man, how did
that happen? Where you can say, well, good for them
for holding on when they were down so many players
on so many crappy moments, when your Yankees were struggling
Joe Namath style, I'm struggling. I said to you what
(10:25):
I said last year, and the Yankees were struggling. No,
it doesn't matter. It's every team goes through these hot streaks.
Every team goes through the well, they won ten of twelve,
they're on fire, and then you go through a stretcher.
Your team drops eight of ten against what you would say,
these are the bottom feeders. What's going on? So well?
The Padres could now go from looking unbeatable for all
(10:47):
we know they get swept by the Marlins that nothing
would shock you in baseball, but the Padres, Danny g
you may root very hard for my Mets, because the
Mets play the Padres four games at the end of
August and those four games down in San Diego, I'm
thinking about going. They might mean a lot, not only
for my Mets, but you might be putting on a
Pee Alonzo jersey.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That with that four day weekend, Let's go Mets, right, Yeah,
I mean, look, it's hard to note what your identity
is when you haven't had your healthy lineup in. Not
just the pitchers who more than half of that bullpen
has been out. A Gratarol came back a couple of
nights ago, eight pitches in pulled a muscle and had
to be helped off the field. And not just Bets
(11:29):
being out four months, but a lot of people forget
Munth si'es.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Bat has been missing.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So yeah, it's almost like you need a little launching
pad for them to get back into the thick things.
And hopefully opposite of what happened last season, the Dodgers
sat for too long cold going into the playoffs, even
if it's wild Card, they go in on a hot streak.
That's all you can hope as a baseball fan.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Noo.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It reminds me of Cavino, you know how a lot
of times because the NBA is a lot of injuries
and load management and all that. Yeah, that's sometimes the
playoff rolls around and you're like, yo, is this like
only the eighth game that these guys have started together.
I feel like come playoff time, you might see a
Dodgers team that out of one hundred and sixty two games,
you might see some crazy stat like they've only fielded
(12:12):
this line up thirty times out of one hundred and
sixty two games.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Bro, there's only two starters right now that are reliable.
So that's scary going into the home stretch.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But when you thought a lock of all locks was well,
the NL West, that's the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks and the
Rock and the Padres are both eight to two in the
past ten games. They're both lighting it up. The Dodgers
got a little cold, and they are both unstoppable. So hey,
you got a really exciting playoff race in divisions. And
(12:42):
if you notice the Phillies, even the players, the NL
West is heating up right now. And you know what,
can we know your division? You're in a dead tie
right now, sixty eight or forty seven Yankees and Orioles tied.
And you see Hollidays streaking baby Holiday hitting bombs for
the Orioles, Yeah, both sixty eight and forty seven. And again,
(13:07):
like I said, there's two ways to look at this. Wow,
the Yankees, the Dodgers, they're still holding on, so I
think the positive is well, then when they get the
team back and they start to gel and create that
chemistry again, they're even better than you think. They're able
to hold on at their worst. What does it say
for the other teams? This was their chance to take over?
(13:28):
Then what about the AL West? Houston and Seattle within
a half a game of each other. And then if
you look at that wildcard in the AL, the AL
West is equally as close. You're right. You got the Yankees,
who for some reason they're listing them as the wildcard
I guess for tie breaker and purposes as of now.
But you got the Yanks are O's. Then you got Minnesota,
(13:50):
Kansas City, Boston, Seattle, Tampa. There's a lot of teams
that are fighting for those wildcards. So all you could
say is that baseball, which for so many teams used
to be boring, lame. After the All Star Break, I'd
say seventy five percent of the league's Yeah. The only
downside is he didn't see a lot of movieig moves
being made at the trade deadline because so many teams
(14:12):
are holding on. They're not sellers because they're still in
the mix. But it gets more exciting as we move on. Yeah,
no doubt, no diggnity, no doubt. So hey, watch keep
an eye while you're getting ready for football, because I
know that's king. We all care about football way more.
But if you're a casual or diehard baseball fan, NL
West went from yeah it's a Dodgers and maybe someone
(14:34):
else will lock up a wildcard to whoa not so fast?
Speaking of football, per Danny G suggests you on I
did tune into Hard Knocks last night, and you know
Hard Knocks Chicago Bears starring Kayleb Williams and only Caleb
Kayleb Williams documenter. But there was a portion of the show.
We're gonna save this for over Promise because it's very visual.
(14:55):
I can tell you to join us on Fox Sports
Radios YouTube page seven p Eastern four pm on the
Mess on the West, We're gonna talk Matt Eberflus's beard.
We're gonna talk beards on over Promise because the only
side story about the bears aside from Caleb Williams was
how different he looks with the beard. It's like Simone
(15:17):
Biles got some time too, little bit. Yeah, no, I
of her husband, you know, not intended, because they showed
a lot of highlights of her too. What's what's crazy
to me is I think and we'll take this to
overpromise later on, because like Kevino said, it's on the
Fox Sports Radio YouTube page. This is more of a
visual conversation, so I know we're gonna save it. Yeah,
so let's say that because the visuals are very funny.
(15:38):
But sometimes a guy with a beard is more deceptive
than a girl with her without makeup. Like you ever
see a girl on Instagram and she's all done up
all the time. Take this as your cue to maybe
reinvent yourself or something, because he went from a tired
fifty four year old coach to wall. Look at this guy, confidence, lick, beard,
(16:01):
new vibe about him, and that's the kind of vibe
you want for this new young team moving forward. The
guy is not the Matt Eberflus you remember. It's so
crazy to see the difference some facial hair. Man. It
sounds ridiculous, but if you did watch Hard Knocks, Eberflus
went from it was the takeaway nerdy looking dude to like, yo,
what's it. He took a picture of Ryan Reynolds to
(16:22):
the barbershop, Yes, and he grew beard, and his wife's like, oh,
Danny J. My line, he looks good. I mean he
looks a lot different, that's for sure, there's no doubt.
So I speaking of football, we will talk some of that.
Think about that though, guys, A beard could help you dramatically,
where like I said, picture that Instagram girl who is
always done up and you may have seen her without
(16:43):
makeup and you're like, oh god, no, that's for us, dudes.
That's one of the only things we could do. You know,
the face saying don't do it, But I'm saying, take
the ownership of men often criticize women. You don't look
like that with your eyelashes and your plumped up lips
and your makeup and everything else and your your hair extensions.
(17:08):
Guess what, eber Flus doesn't look like that either, underneath
all that beard. But it's working for We don't know
what Danny G's hiding or spot, what the heck are
you hiding? Under there, So we're going to discuss that
in further detail. But you brought up football, rich and
I know you're excited about it, So definitely tune into
not only Hard Knocks Chicago Bears now, but over promised
(17:30):
later today our bonus podcast. We'll be discussing it right
after this show, perfecto. And like we said, Dodgers, Padres,
Diamondbacks definitely something even if you're just a casual baseball fan.
I promise you take a look every date, the standings
and the highlights, because that is going to be tighter
than you think. Now, a couple things we were talking
(17:50):
about baseball. We walked in right as team USA. Break
out your best Hacksaw Jim Duggan, don't shout out to
the host. Don't act like you were rooting for USA.
And speaking of hack slogem Duggan, Yeah, better ho hack
slogem dug In or ThunderCats. Well good one ThunderCats. Huh
(18:15):
Hacksaw or Thundercat. Think about it, that's the debate. I
am not ready to half I'm gonna throw back Thursday.
But what I am ready to do is present you
with a hypothetical that has to do with basketball and baseball.
I'm combining two things, okay, two things, I'm sorry, which
two things basketball and baseball? So sort of like basketball,
I guess you're right, sort of like baseball. Acting like
(18:37):
he's a no vator or something. But we watched Team
USA ninety five, ninety one and now bider as my
buddy Rob just texted me thirty two point fifteen in
the fourth quarter, which is what the US needed to do.
And by the way, if you think that they're just
going through the motions, there was a lot of passion.
There was so much passion involved, which is great to see.
(18:58):
You know, USA did not want to lose that game.
They came through clutch when they had to. The big
name stepped up. But the Serbian team they were crushed understandably,
But you know, it is interesting to see how much
heart is on the line, how much pride is on
the line. Then you may think obvious because it's the Olympics,
but we watched it and we're like dangs as that.
(19:20):
As the meme goes, Team USA, the dream Team in
ninety two faced like a handful of NBA players across
the whole Olympic spectrum. Yeah, that's starched. Now, every team
in the Olympic Basketball Men's division has NBA players that
you know Bogdanovich, you'll getch like they weren't playing against
(19:40):
some dude that's a plumber and when he's not on
you know, Team Serbia. No, it's definitely more of a
worldwide game. Now these are bawlers. Now two questions before
I get to my baseball basketball hybrid hypothetical. I'll give
them props because I saw the guys that Barstool did
this in their office, like they went around asking people.
So I'll ask you, I like the guys at Barstool,
(20:02):
if Team USA, now the twenty twenty four team were
to play the nineteen ninety two dream team, not who
would win? What do you think Vegas would have the
odds at, what would the what would the points spread be?
And those guys were picking some people picked favorites and
underdogs all over the board. I would say, it's almost
like you're playing the mons Stars, because I think today's
(20:25):
team is just too big and two athletic compared to
that team Physically. I'm not saying they're a better team
with better chemistry, but if you're just looking at them,
they're both great teams, but one of them is way
more athletic, your size, more more athleticism involved in today's game,
today's players. I'm not want to get into those, Like
(20:45):
what if Tyson fought all Leo or so I'm saying
based on that they would have the advantage. They would
be odds odds favorite, but they would give me your
give me your pointspread. I don't I don't know. I mean,
no one think about this. It's an imaginary scenario. What
says you. I'd say that this current team would be
favored by eight. I was thinking ten, but I thought
(21:08):
maybe that's too much. Twenty twenty four, there were people
that were like dream team by twelve, and I'm like, here,
just delusional. You're being a prisoner of your childhood and
your past. I think it might be like current team
by four and a half or something like that, Like
you know, it's team chemistry versus like pure athleticism and
size with today's team. But today's team looked like they
(21:28):
were playing with a lot of heart.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
One of the other things I think they have Toway
is where guys like Magic and Bird were in their careers.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
There is no one on this current USA team aside
from Lebron, that is really like in their sunset years.
Katie maybe obviously on the downside of his career, but
still a star in the NBA and top ten player
in the NBA, where Bird at his back issues, Magic
obviously stepping.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know, being out of the game, and like there's.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
There was Michael, there was Patrick Ewing, you know, there
were other players, but this is twelve guys we think
are near the maybe not Derek White, but.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
When you saw when you saw like towards the end
of the game, when they really had a step on
it to win, and you see Steph, Lebron and Kad
playing at an elite level. Yeah, you can't tell me that,
Like they'd get killed by Jordan Pippin and you know,
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. It would be a damn
good game. And right, a lot of those guys were
past their prime in ninety two. If you want to
ask me who I'd be rooting for, then I'd be
(22:31):
prisoner of my childhood. Absolutely you had a question.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, I think realistically though, you have to look at
that point and I just think the newness of those
guys playing together.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Burd and Magic were never on the same side. Ever,
there was never a reason for them that.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
In fact, they were on the polar opposites both geographically
and just of their entire careers. And then for them
to be in the same uniform with such a newness
and something that was so original that we just ate
up every second of and it still hasn't worn off
after thirty two years.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's true. It's true. So think about that, and I'm
gonna give you the other hypothetical. Now, I'm going to
give you a second to think about it. Hypotheticals, but
that is a fun one, Like what would then how
popular the team team was? What would the points Meyer
just say? Like that was shocking just for us to see.
Of course, you know, all these greats assembled on one team.
So props to our dudes over barstool for that one.
(23:21):
But here here's my hypothetical for you. I saw this
like some kids playing a basketball court. If I were
to say, you have two options, I'm just gonna give
you a million dollars or does this have to do
with baseballs? Yeah, into a basketball. I saw this too.
I did, okay, million dollars, Danny g iwa Sam, I'm
gonna give you a million bucks, or I'm gonna give
(23:43):
you a bucket of ten baseballs and you have to
make a full court basket throwing a baseball. And if
you get if you get one of the ten in
fifty million dollars, are you taking your chances or just
taking the original million? Think about it. We'll get to that.
We'll get to who you want to punch in the face.
(24:04):
We're going to get to a bunch of stuff, old schooling,
fifty hits all here, Fox Sports Radio, coven On Rich.

Playing some old school ski lo Djiowa, Sam on the
Ones and twos, Covino and Rich on your Fox Sports
Radio in about twenty minutes, eighteen minutes old school and
fifty hits speaking of old school hip hop. I know
(26:06):
you're getting ready for breakdancing tomorrow. Huh so you're getting
ready for it and locking, but old school in fifty hits,
we're gonna talk movie plots that just wouldn't fly today.
We'll explain, so stick around. We do that every Thursday.
And remember, right after this show. Over promised our bonus podcast,
we'll talk old school, old school sports shout outs in
(26:28):
hip hop songs. There's a couple funny ones and more
right after the show on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
We're live from the tyrack dot com studio and right
thanks to Rapid Radios, the official communication device of Fox

the nose. Do you have an answer to the hypothetical?
I have two answers for you. Okay, you know I
was thinking about it. My first instinct when you said,
because we watched the USA pull out a really close
win over Serbia, but they stepped up when he had
(27:12):
to ninety five ninety one. Now they play for the
gold on Saturday against France. I hate hypotheticals. I really do. Like, man,
who do you think will win? Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali?
Would Roger Clements strike out Bibe Ruth ten? People love that,
but I'm like, I tune out of those. I think
the dream team one versus today's team is a fun one,
(27:35):
and I just think size and athleticism puts today's team ahead.
I don't think the thought of the matchup is as
fun as the hypothetical of what would Vegas set the
points spread out? Because yeah, because I immediately thought ten.
But I have to take it back, and I actually
agree with Dan Byer. I'm gonna go eight because you
can't deny the the chemistry of that team. They were ballers.
(27:56):
You know, we're just about to make it clear you're
saying the current team by yes, current team by eight.
But then guys like Len hit us up Lent from Idaho?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
What up? Len?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Not buying it? The toughness, the attitude, the never lose
attitude would be far superior. Just the toughness and tenacity
of yesteryear's team would beat today's team. And listen, Lent
shares the sentiment of a lot of people. But I
just wonder if that is glorifying your childhood the same
way you you know, someone would be like, yeah, dude,
(28:27):
Metallica is the greatest, like like you know, but that's
why he makes a point. That's why I'm going from
like ten to like eight. I still think today's team
would win. Like, you don't think Big too strong, You
don't think Lebron James is a superior athlete to any
of those guys. Damn buyer, what do you think about?
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Could you imagine bookmakers being like, well they want it more? Yeah, no, no,
it does not work like that.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Motivation is sometimes brought into it, but that's usually when
the line is set in trying to determine, all right,
how is this team good affair?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That team good affair?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
They may win nineteen ninety two may win, But when
you're talking about setting the line and how it would
lay out, I just don't see any way why this
how this stream team would not be favored of that game.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And dudes where ballers though, And that's why it's fun.
It's not to knock on them, but just look at
like physically, look at them compared to this team. Doesn't
mean they couldn't win, like Dan said, but I think
that's how it would size up and with the conditioning
that they have today, if those guys lived in a
different era. Oh yeah, that's why I'm etheticals for the
(29:30):
most part don't intrigue me. But that team was so
good that I could actually see them competing now. Your
other hypothetical is based on a viral clip which I
also saw. Again, if I offered you a million dollars,
no strings attack, no strings attached, would you take it?
Or would you take ten opportunities to throw a baseball
into a basketball net full court for fifty million dollars.
(29:53):
I'm taking my ten shots. I'm taking my ten shots easy,
and I'll explain why anyone else have a thought on this.
Taking the money guaranteed, Really you're gonna take one million.
Then I get to practice the bait throwing. You're talking
about throwing baseball's full court for the fun of it
until the opposite know. Sam, you've down a baseball before,
no practice. Here's ten shots. You can either throw them
(30:13):
in and get one in for fifty million for just
I've thrown a baseball, but I don't know if I've
tried to throw a baseball full court into a basketball
hoop a little practice. I'm not sure I'm taking the money.
The guy in this real hits it on his first try.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
That's why there's no question. And after seeing that, I'm like,
I could do that. The question is would the nerves
get to you? If there was a real fifty million
dollars on the table, would your nerves get to a problem?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Bit it's a mind game, then, so these dudes, I
just took the hypothetical. I guess he made the first shot.
I would take my chances for the fifty million on
this normally the true reasons I much more trust my
baseball and throwing ability. Now, listen, you haven't played baseball
a long time. I play softball every week. I know
softball baseball different, but I'm throwing every week of my life,
(30:57):
and I never stopped from the high school to college
till now. I'm still throwing a ball every week. We
throw football around the studio. There's two reasons why I
would take the ten shots at fifty mil, because fifty
mil is substantially life changing, where a million dollars is not.
So that's number one. Number two. A basketball court is
(31:18):
ninety four feet long, which means it's only four feet
longer than base to base in baseball. So that's like saying,
can you throw a strike from second base to first base?
If you're playing shortstop or third base? Can you feel
the ground ball and throw a strike to the first
baseman and a basketball or a soccer ball or a
kickball would bounce around a baseball hits a backboard and
(31:42):
just drops. Yeah. The guy that does it, he takes
the physical challenge, double their style. First shot. He tells
Mark Summers, I'll take the physical challenge. He hits it
off the backboard, no bounce, goes right in, and then
he pulls the orange flag out of the big rubber nose,
and you give there's a big second pancakes and he
pulls the flag up there and he wins the physical challenge,
Dan Bayer, did you think about it? Would you take
(32:03):
the million or the double Dare physical challenge? And what
physical challenge would you want to do on Double Tack
Well Sunday Slide. I would also. You used to think
my family would suck on this show, right. I used
to be like, I wonder how bad? But I thought
of what friend I would go with? Not him?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Oh, I'd go with him for sure, but I wouldn't
go with him. I also wouldn't be good in the
peanut butter and jelly finding the flow to pick your nose.
I thought the hamster wheel or the the jumping in
the ball pit was pretty easy.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That stuff that I could handle. I would I would
probably have to go for the fifty million. Yeah, yeah,
that's like a life changing opportunity.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, there's It's just like it's the game show dilemma, right,
how many times you're gonna be on the prices?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Right? How many times you're gonna play it's funny? Or
here's a show I watch on Amazon with my wife
sometimes just because it's easy background. See, I'm a Pellette
cleansed type of guy. Like if I watch a serious
deep like crime show. I can't go right the bet.
I'm like, Rich has to watch Nard Sharks. I'm like,
put on something nonsense. There's a show called The One
Percent Club hosted by Patton Oswalt on Amazon. Yeah, and
(33:14):
my wife and I there's a point of the game
where the people could be like I'm out and they
get a thousand dollars and I'm like, why would you
do all that to be like, oh, now, thousand dollars?
Like go for the hundreds of thousands, Like what are
you doing? That show needs a lot more money. Yes,
I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I've seen like the Australian version. Jim Jeffries, comedian host
the television as well. But yeah, to that point, if
there was something on the back end, like if you
didn't make it, then you couldn't say, I don't know,
watch baseball for a year or like ten years or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Then you have a real decision. But I think that
you have to go for the fifty million. Agreed, Hey
can buy it? Before your update, I saw Jim Jefferies
in an elevator at Serious XM one time, and I
saw him. He's in his leather jacket and his pompadoor
and he's just sitting there. I'm like, yo, I'm like,
Jeff Jeffries Man, I love you, dude. And he's like,
(34:06):
it's Jim. Nice to meet you. I could be to
walk away with shame. A huge fan Jeff Jefferies, jeffries Man,
I love you, dude. It's Jim. That is great. At
least you didn't call him Greg Jeffries your favorite future star.
All right, damn Bier, let's do this. What do we
got updated time? Yeah, it's uh we are.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
We are following the story that is Team USA and
what a game it was today in Serbia at one
point down seventeen, but in the end, what's up.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Short in the United States trailing by as many as
seventeen to the gold medal game.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
NBC Universal Peacock USA Network with that call as the
United States top Serbia ninety five ninety one, outscoring Serbia
in the fourth quarter thirty two to fifteen. Steph Curry
at thirty six points, Lebron James nineteen points, twelve rebounds assists,
Joelle Embiid the only other American in double figures, but
the Americans will move on to face France in the
(35:06):
gold medal game on Saturday, after the French dropped Germany
seventy three to sixty nine. Another story that we've been
following throughout these games is American spriner Noah Lyles come
to find out after he won bronze at the two
hundred meters that he had COVID, which is maybe one
of the reasons why he did not get the double gold.
He was the gold medal winner and the one hundred
meter in that photo finish, but settles for a bronze
(35:26):
in the two hundred meters. Some news in the NFL,
Nick Foles is retiring, the Super Bowl fifty two MVP
quarterback for the Eagles, calling it quits after eleven years
in the league. Falcons wide receiver Rondelle Moore out for
the season with a knee injury. He was placed on
ir Saint Sun linebacker Pete Werder to a three year extension.
Rich's Niner Son veteran wide receiver Chosen Anderson to a
(35:47):
contract in Major League Baseball. The Padres dropped the Pirates
today seven to six. San Diego keeps rolling winners of
their last five. Different story for the Braves, they've lost
five straight. They fell to the Brewers Hockey completes the
sweep sixteen to seven. Giants just won an extras against
the Nationals nine to five, and Rich's Mets about to
close out the Rockies up nine to one right now
(36:08):
on the top of the ninth inning at Cores in Denver.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Guys, back to you. Yeah, we talked about how hot
the Padres and Diamondbacks are. You could say how cold
the Braves are. Because if the Mets win today and
they're up like seven or eight one over the Rockies
right now, like Dan said, the Braves would be out
of the wildcard situation. Yeah, would you have ever thought that?
Like that seemed like the lock Like it was like
got Phillies and Braves and whoever else. But thank you.
(36:33):
And by the way, Braves are four and six in
their last ten. For those outaware of the name change,
chosen Anderson. Robbie, Yes, Robbie Anderson. But yeah, then the
Niners are looking for solutions in case Ayuk is definitely
out right trying to find all the leverage they can exactly,
Thank you, dB, and happy National Pickleball Day. Now we're
gonna do old school. When fifty hits, you got to
(36:55):
stick around for that movie plots that just wouldn't wouldn't
fly today. Really, we get to it next right here
on Fox Sports Radio live from the tire rack dot
Com Studio. Yeah, maybe to rules all right, Hey CNR
on FSR, did you know that this was considered by many,
(37:20):
but really by me to be the greatest oo yeah
yeah in all of rock music. Rich might be the
best ooh yeah that I've heard you ever hear the
joke that James Hetfield is the greatest dad because he
never says no. He just says yeah. Yeah. Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio on the Pool. Yeah, he
(37:42):
never says no. And we're live from the tire rack
dot Com studio. Now we have lots to get to
next hour. People you want to punch in the nose,
but right now, look at the time, there's a certain Yeah.
What we're gonna do is go back.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday Old
School went fifty at fifty after CNR give you the
time capsule topic and we reminisce together. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, I'm trying to check my IMDb right now, not
my personal one, though you will see that. I'm on
Grand Theft Audio audio and oh, no, grand theft oto.
But I was looking up Tutsi to see what year
it came out, and he guesses, Tutsi, No, No, I
(38:38):
mean eighty two, yeah, eighty two. Really maybe it was
just a little pumpkin pie haircuted kid. And I remember
how big that was when you're a kid, like everything's
big to you. You, Danny are a couple of years
older than me. I missed Tutsi along the way, but
I know today Dustin Hoffmann, well, that's the point celebrates
a birthday turns eighty seven. Yeah, dude, he's one hundred
(39:00):
and eighty seven. Hold on correction, so he's eighty seven today.
Legendary actors Dustin Hoffman and one of the biggest movies
in the early eighties was Tootsie Again eighty two. And
Vince fun was also in the news this week saying
comedies are on life support. There's just a blueprint that
people follow. They take the safe route. They don't take risks,
(39:24):
they don't lean into the funny, they don't take chances
for political correctness reasons. They just don't want to do
anything that could cost the studio money. They take the
safe route, and as a result we lose when it
comes to creative Yeah, he was just saying, like, if
you're a movie director or producer, you just don't want
to get fired. You don't want to get canceled. You
want you don't want to be pushed aside. So it's
(39:46):
safer to follow a more current day blueprint, which could
lead to a lot less funny and by the way,
for the younger people listening, Yeah, Dustin Hoffman, he's gay.
Lord Falker's dad didn't meet the f walk I walked, me, me,
me me. For people like Rich Davis only know him
(40:06):
as such. Well, I'm saying for people that didn't watch
the Graduate in Tutsie and movies from the seventies and eighties,
graduate saying it graduate is a classic I know, so
Dustin Hoffman, No, you're right, I'm like kidding, but don't
forget hook Yeah, I mean mine, mine, mine now now
now sort of a legendary guy now versus Cramer marathon Man.
(40:26):
Let's think about it, because Danny g was pretty adamant.
He's like Tootsie would never fly today because he dresses
up like a woman. That's the premise of the movie.
I forget like what he was trying to do, but
it was very misdoubtfire. Yeah, well to missus Doubtfire out. Now,
imagine like posing and dressing up as an old lady
so you could see your kids in the middle of
a custody battle like that. I don't think that would fly.
(40:51):
How about any movie where someone dresses up with the
sensitivity of sexuality and transgender this and that, like any
lady bugs. Wasn't the girl pretending to be a boy
on the Soccer Show? You though? How oh you could
say how insensitive we were back then or how serious
we are now. The whole premise back then was like, yeah,
Dustin Hoffin was he was such a great woman in
(41:11):
that movie. He played such a great woman, didn't he.
And the same thing with Missus Downfire? Yeah, you know, hey,
oh man, Robin Williams is so great as Missus Downfire.
Some people really would or might be I'm not saying definitely,
but might be offended by that. Todays row by the
way I just looked at up to see was since
he was given a ninety one percent on Rotten Potatoes,
(41:33):
So people still love it all right? So now, based
on all that what Vince Wand said and Dustin Hoffin
in this thought, movies that wouldn't fly today based on
the plot line. I think not only plotline, but scenes
like can you think of a scene from an old comedy?
Way Line has stated like like I'll give you the like,
you know what, I have a perfect answer, and I'll
(41:55):
save it and we'll take all your feedback. Movies that
wouldn't roll today more Next on Senor m

I'm Steve Cabino. Yeah, yeah, And that is the backwards
un American Rich Davis who was rooting for Serbia. Totally true.
And I'm here to say USA all day. He's almost
(00:50):
like Rich was rooting for a no hitter against his Mets.
He's backwards on American Rich Davis done. That's right, all
American Steve Cabino, we be rocking. Let's get this weekend
going Thursdays to New Friday. Shout out to USA and
it's basketball to win. They compete on Friday against Saturday
(01:10):
for the goal. You know what I always said, Covino,
I'm a real American, fight for the rights of every man.
I'm a real American, fight for my rights, fight for
what's right. I'm just quoting Hulkulgan's theme song. Know what
I always say, I just read T shirts that my
dad has, these colors, don't run. What other shirts does
(01:31):
your dav have? You have them too? USA all day?
That is true and USA on assay, all the vaptos,
locals and the barrio thanks for tuning in to the greatest.
According to Mebino and I wanted Team USA to win,
but I was I was jokingly saying that if they
had lost, it just it would have been I think,
(01:52):
more fun content to talk about, like oh USA lost. Truthfully,
I don't think it makes you an American. It just
makes you excited to see a natural disaster, sort of like, oh,
this will be crazy if Serbia wins, you know, oh man,
because the news cycle gets exciting after that. I will
tell you this my observation. Lebron looking nasty, but looking
(02:15):
like old man Winter with that beard. He's gotta die
the beard. What did Emmitt Smith say? No play for
mister Gray. You don't want to advertise that you're getting older.
We all know. That's just my observation. But either way
they won this all that matters. So we have lots
to get to today. Who you want to punch in
the nose? Besides Rich Dates, Thanks, yeah, besides your boss.
(02:40):
We're gonna talk about it. Who do you want to
punch in your nose? I've a dumb sports hypothetical for you,
but I want to read the tweet of Jason McIntyre
from the herd here in Fox Sports. Sure, what do
you say? Said it's over? We lost entire quarter to go,
but we're down fifteen. And then he tweeted himself. He
tweeted himself reverse Jinks always comes through, never a doubt
(03:04):
he meant to this list. There were a lot of
people that were like, yo, with down fifteen, what is
going on here? But hey, it's a solid squad of
superstars going for the goal. They won ninety five ninety
one Team USA BRO. When they needed to deliver, Lebron
went coast to coast, Kevin Durant hit a sweet jump shot.
Like when they needed it, they got it. Yep, Caveno

in the nose? Based on this Chris Carter Skip Bayless
story plus Old School and fifty hits. We do it
every Thursday. We reminisced we turned back the clock, Old
School and fifty hits. It's gonna involve movie plots that
(04:32):
wouldn't fly today. We'll explain why. But if you want
to get ahead, start and start thinking about it. By
all means, get ahead movie plots that just wouldn't fly today.
Vince Vaughn in the news this week, saying that they
don't make comedies the way they used to. They just
don't know. He said that rated AR comedies are on
life support, right, so we'll think it. When you think
(04:52):
of all the great comedies, there's a couple here and there. Well,
we'll get to it. But like the Ricky Stinicky's of
the World, and there was a movie The Wrong Missy.
There's been a couple funny ones on Netflix. But the
idea of an R rated comedy most that you would mention.
You're not realizing you're almost twenty years old or twenty
years old. People say the last great comedy was super Bad.
(05:14):
I don't know about the maybe weddings. Yeah, those are
the last great step Brothers. Perhaps, but it's been a
long time that quotable adult comedy sort of extinct for
a minute. And there's reasons. But movie plus that wouldn't fly.
We'll get to that too. But Rich, I know you
had something first. Well Danny G. Yeah, Hi, Danny G.
(05:34):
How you doing, super producer? Hey? Happy Thursday? And hi
Iowa Sam and Dan Meyer and Fox Sports Radio Nation.
Are you are you a little nervous? Dandy G? Or
no about the Dodgers. See, you knew what I was
talking about because I already knew where you were going
to look at the standings. And I'm a standings watcher.
Some people are not. My friends make fun of me
(05:55):
that I'm always looking at standings and oh who who's
this team playing next week or the week after? Sure,
but watcher so that as well. Two things I watch
all the time and standings. Here's something that the Fox
Sports Radio Nation might not know. Where we get ready
every day for the show. We have a little pre
show meeting and we go through ideas. We sit at
(06:17):
the table by the kitchen over there, and our building
is connected to a yoga studio. So you see all
these hot yoga butts one walking in and out past
our little lunch spot, and Rich Davis can't even focus
on what we're talking about because all he's doing is staring.
You think I picked that spot by accident. Yeah, I
(06:37):
bet you. Nobody knew that. But we're right next door
to a yoga studio. I'm a I'm a scoreboard watcher.
I'm a standings watcher. It's too much like I get freakswatch.
Like my buddies make fun of me because I'll be
rooting against the Padres now and they're like dude, this
a month and a half, two months left of baseball,
and I'm like, oh no, but I you know, I'm
looking at the wild card. But Danny, as much as
I look at the standings, if you would have asked
(06:58):
me this morning and again, I watch baseball every day,
I would never have guessed that you guys are down
to a two and a half game lead in a
National West. You haven't been paying attention to all the injuries.
I know I haven't, But I thought while the Diamondbacks
and the Padres have both been scorching hot, I'm pretty
sure the Padres have won sixteen of their last eighteen games.
(07:22):
I still thought in my big old noggin that one
of the Dodgers got like a five or six game
lead two and a half. You know what it is?
Holy could be real about baseball. Unlike football, baseball fans
pretty much stick to their team. You're not really focused
on the other teams. You'll see the highlights here and early.
Oh yeah, Tani wit Yard again, it's regional. Yeah, absolutely,
(07:44):
Like I watch baseball every night, I'm watching the Yankees.
You think I give a ditty squad about what the
Padres are doing? I could watch are the Diamondbacks. I
could watch the two worst NFL teams and be so engaged,
but you have a general idea. The point is, Richard,
know that this gap closed that hard. I knew it
was closing. But again, you're not. Are you really watching
a a Pirates Twins game on a Wednesday night? Most
(08:08):
most fans are zoned in on their teams, unlike football,
where you've got a pretty great understanding of I've been
analyzing the Wildcard every day as a Mets fan, like
a nerd. I'm like, oh, half a game out. No, now,
we're half a game up. Oh we're a game behind,
We're a game up. We're the two seed in the Wildcard.
All along, I'm watching the Padres and the Diamondbacks every day,
I'm like, one again, the Diamondbacks yesterday swept the Guardians,
(08:32):
the best team at that time in the American League.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How about the Padres. They've had two ninth inning comebacks
in a row.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
This morning, i was like, oh, five to four Pirates
in the ninth inning. Oh ride. And then I'm looking
at my phone. I'm like, oh the runner on first,
runner on second base is loaded. Damn Padres. They score
three in the ninth and they win again, and I'm like,
you know, they sneak it up on the Dodgers two
and a half games, and I take a look at
(08:58):
the schedules, a couple overlapping teams, but the Dodgers, who
are injured, and still you got to give the Dodgers
credit to stay in first place with all of those injuries,
and even guys that had to step away for you know,
completely legitimate reasons, like a Freddie Freeman for his child.
The Dodgers have never I feel like all season, they
(09:18):
haven't been a full capacity yet they're still in first place.
But right now by two and a half games, and
you guys play other than the Pirates coming up, the
Brewers over five hundred, Cardinals over five hundred, Mariners over
five hundred, Rays over five hundred, Orioles over five hundred.
(09:39):
You have, by no means a cake schedule coming up.
And the Padres have the Marlins, Pirates, Rockies, they have
a few. You could say, Danny Gay Dodders fans should
be scared, or you could say, hey, it's remarkable that
with all those injuries they're still able to hold that lead,
any lead at all, because that's kind of how I
feel about I hate to say the Yankees, like, you
(10:01):
know how bad they were the past few months, yet
they still have the most wins, tied for the most
wins in the BIGS, and they're tied for first in
the Al East. So you could say, man, how did
that happen? Where you can say, well, good for them
for holding on when they were down so many players
on so many crappy moments, when your Yankees were struggling
Joe Namath style, I'm struggling. I said to you what
(10:25):
I said last year, and the Yankees were struggling. No,
it doesn't matter. It's every team goes through these hot streaks.
Every team goes through the well, they won ten of twelve,
they're on fire, and then you go through a stretcher.
Your team drops eight of ten against what you would say,
these are the bottom feeders. What's going on? So well?
The Padres could now go from looking unbeatable for all
(10:47):
we know they get swept by the Marlins that nothing
would shock you in baseball, but the Padres, Danny g
you may root very hard for my Mets, because the
Mets play the Padres four games at the end of
August and those four games down in San Diego, I'm
thinking about going. They might mean a lot, not only
for my Mets, but you might be putting on a
Pee Alonzo jersey.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That with that four day weekend, Let's go Mets, right, Yeah,
I mean, look, it's hard to note what your identity
is when you haven't had your healthy lineup in. Not
just the pitchers who more than half of that bullpen
has been out. A Gratarol came back a couple of
nights ago, eight pitches in pulled a muscle and had
to be helped off the field. And not just Bets
(11:29):
being out four months, but a lot of people forget
Munth si'es.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Bat has been missing.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So yeah, it's almost like you need a little launching
pad for them to get back into the thick things.
And hopefully opposite of what happened last season, the Dodgers
sat for too long cold going into the playoffs, even
if it's wild Card, they go in on a hot streak.
That's all you can hope as a baseball fan.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Noo.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It reminds me of Cavino, you know how a lot
of times because the NBA is a lot of injuries
and load management and all that. Yeah, that's sometimes the
playoff rolls around and you're like, yo, is this like
only the eighth game that these guys have started together.
I feel like come playoff time, you might see a
Dodgers team that out of one hundred and sixty two games,
you might see some crazy stat like they've only fielded
(12:12):
this line up thirty times out of one hundred and
sixty two games.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Bro, there's only two starters right now that are reliable.
So that's scary going into the home stretch.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But when you thought a lock of all locks was well,
the NL West, that's the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks and the
Rock and the Padres are both eight to two in the
past ten games. They're both lighting it up. The Dodgers
got a little cold, and they are both unstoppable. So hey,
you got a really exciting playoff race in divisions. And
(12:42):
if you notice the Phillies, even the players, the NL
West is heating up right now. And you know what,
can we know your division? You're in a dead tie
right now, sixty eight or forty seven Yankees and Orioles tied.
And you see Hollidays streaking baby Holiday hitting bombs for
the Orioles, Yeah, both sixty eight and forty seven. And again,
(13:07):
like I said, there's two ways to look at this. Wow,
the Yankees, the Dodgers, they're still holding on, so I
think the positive is well, then when they get the
team back and they start to gel and create that
chemistry again, they're even better than you think. They're able
to hold on at their worst. What does it say
for the other teams? This was their chance to take over?
(13:28):
Then what about the AL West? Houston and Seattle within
a half a game of each other. And then if
you look at that wildcard in the AL, the AL
West is equally as close. You're right. You got the Yankees,
who for some reason they're listing them as the wildcard
I guess for tie breaker and purposes as of now.
But you got the Yanks are O's. Then you got Minnesota,
(13:50):
Kansas City, Boston, Seattle, Tampa. There's a lot of teams
that are fighting for those wildcards. So all you could
say is that baseball, which for so many teams used
to be boring, lame. After the All Star Break, I'd
say seventy five percent of the league's Yeah. The only
downside is he didn't see a lot of movieig moves
being made at the trade deadline because so many teams
(14:12):
are holding on. They're not sellers because they're still in
the mix. But it gets more exciting as we move on. Yeah,
no doubt, no diggnity, no doubt. So hey, watch keep
an eye while you're getting ready for football, because I
know that's king. We all care about football way more.
But if you're a casual or diehard baseball fan, NL
West went from yeah it's a Dodgers and maybe someone
(14:34):
else will lock up a wildcard to whoa not so fast?
Speaking of football, per Danny G suggests you on I
did tune into Hard Knocks last night, and you know
Hard Knocks Chicago Bears starring Kayleb Williams and only Caleb
Kayleb Williams documenter. But there was a portion of the show.
We're gonna save this for over Promise because it's very visual.
(14:55):
I can tell you to join us on Fox Sports
Radios YouTube page seven p Eastern four pm on the
Mess on the West, We're gonna talk Matt Eberflus's beard.
We're gonna talk beards on over Promise because the only
side story about the bears aside from Caleb Williams was
how different he looks with the beard. It's like Simone
(15:17):
Biles got some time too, little bit. Yeah, no, I
of her husband, you know, not intended, because they showed
a lot of highlights of her too. What's what's crazy
to me is I think and we'll take this to
overpromise later on, because like Kevino said, it's on the
Fox Sports Radio YouTube page. This is more of a
visual conversation, so I know we're gonna save it. Yeah,
so let's say that because the visuals are very funny.
(15:38):
But sometimes a guy with a beard is more deceptive
than a girl with her without makeup. Like you ever
see a girl on Instagram and she's all done up
all the time. Take this as your cue to maybe
reinvent yourself or something, because he went from a tired
fifty four year old coach to wall. Look at this guy, confidence, lick, beard,
(16:01):
new vibe about him, and that's the kind of vibe
you want for this new young team moving forward. The
guy is not the Matt Eberflus you remember. It's so
crazy to see the difference some facial hair. Man. It
sounds ridiculous, but if you did watch Hard Knocks, Eberflus
went from it was the takeaway nerdy looking dude to like, yo,
what's it. He took a picture of Ryan Reynolds to
(16:22):
the barbershop, Yes, and he grew beard, and his wife's like, oh,
Danny J. My line, he looks good. I mean he
looks a lot different, that's for sure, there's no doubt.
So I speaking of football, we will talk some of that.
Think about that though, guys, A beard could help you dramatically,
where like I said, picture that Instagram girl who is
always done up and you may have seen her without
(16:43):
makeup and you're like, oh god, no, that's for us, dudes.
That's one of the only things we could do. You know,
the face saying don't do it, But I'm saying, take
the ownership of men often criticize women. You don't look
like that with your eyelashes and your plumped up lips
and your makeup and everything else and your your hair extensions.
(17:08):
Guess what, eber Flus doesn't look like that either, underneath
all that beard. But it's working for We don't know
what Danny G's hiding or spot, what the heck are
you hiding? Under there, So we're going to discuss that
in further detail. But you brought up football, rich and
I know you're excited about it, So definitely tune into
not only Hard Knocks Chicago Bears now, but over promised
(17:30):
later today our bonus podcast. We'll be discussing it right
after this show, perfecto. And like we said, Dodgers, Padres,
Diamondbacks definitely something even if you're just a casual baseball fan.
I promise you take a look every date, the standings
and the highlights, because that is going to be tighter
than you think. Now, a couple things we were talking
(17:50):
about baseball. We walked in right as team USA. Break
out your best Hacksaw Jim Duggan, don't shout out to
the host. Don't act like you were rooting for USA.
And speaking of hack slogem Duggan, Yeah, better ho hack
slogem dug In or ThunderCats. Well good one ThunderCats. Huh
(18:15):
Hacksaw or Thundercat. Think about it, that's the debate. I
am not ready to half I'm gonna throw back Thursday.
But what I am ready to do is present you
with a hypothetical that has to do with basketball and baseball.
I'm combining two things, okay, two things, I'm sorry, which
two things basketball and baseball? So sort of like basketball,
I guess you're right, sort of like baseball. Acting like
(18:37):
he's a no vator or something. But we watched Team
USA ninety five, ninety one and now bider as my
buddy Rob just texted me thirty two point fifteen in
the fourth quarter, which is what the US needed to do.
And by the way, if you think that they're just
going through the motions, there was a lot of passion.
There was so much passion involved, which is great to see.
(18:58):
You know, USA did not want to lose that game.
They came through clutch when they had to. The big
name stepped up. But the Serbian team they were crushed understandably,
But you know, it is interesting to see how much
heart is on the line, how much pride is on
the line. Then you may think obvious because it's the Olympics,
but we watched it and we're like dangs as that.
(19:20):
As the meme goes, Team USA, the dream Team in
ninety two faced like a handful of NBA players across
the whole Olympic spectrum. Yeah, that's starched. Now, every team
in the Olympic Basketball Men's division has NBA players that
you know Bogdanovich, you'll getch like they weren't playing against
(19:40):
some dude that's a plumber and when he's not on
you know, Team Serbia. No, it's definitely more of a
worldwide game. Now these are bawlers. Now two questions before
I get to my baseball basketball hybrid hypothetical. I'll give
them props because I saw the guys that Barstool did
this in their office, like they went around asking people.
So I'll ask you, I like the guys at Barstool,
(20:02):
if Team USA, now the twenty twenty four team were
to play the nineteen ninety two dream team, not who
would win? What do you think Vegas would have the
odds at, what would the what would the points spread be?
And those guys were picking some people picked favorites and
underdogs all over the board. I would say, it's almost
like you're playing the mons Stars, because I think today's
(20:25):
team is just too big and two athletic compared to
that team Physically. I'm not saying they're a better team
with better chemistry, but if you're just looking at them,
they're both great teams, but one of them is way
more athletic, your size, more more athleticism involved in today's game,
today's players. I'm not want to get into those, Like
(20:45):
what if Tyson fought all Leo or so I'm saying
based on that they would have the advantage. They would
be odds odds favorite, but they would give me your
give me your pointspread. I don't I don't know. I mean,
no one think about this. It's an imaginary scenario. What
says you. I'd say that this current team would be
favored by eight. I was thinking ten, but I thought
(21:08):
maybe that's too much. Twenty twenty four, there were people
that were like dream team by twelve, and I'm like, here,
just delusional. You're being a prisoner of your childhood and
your past. I think it might be like current team
by four and a half or something like that, Like
you know, it's team chemistry versus like pure athleticism and
size with today's team. But today's team looked like they
(21:28):
were playing with a lot of heart.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
One of the other things I think they have Toway
is where guys like Magic and Bird were in their careers.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
There is no one on this current USA team aside
from Lebron, that is really like in their sunset years.
Katie maybe obviously on the downside of his career, but
still a star in the NBA and top ten player
in the NBA, where Bird at his back issues, Magic
obviously stepping.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know, being out of the game, and like there's.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
There was Michael, there was Patrick Ewing, you know, there
were other players, but this is twelve guys we think
are near the maybe not Derek White, but.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
When you saw when you saw like towards the end
of the game, when they really had a step on
it to win, and you see Steph, Lebron and Kad
playing at an elite level. Yeah, you can't tell me that,
Like they'd get killed by Jordan Pippin and you know,
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. It would be a damn
good game. And right, a lot of those guys were
past their prime in ninety two. If you want to
ask me who I'd be rooting for, then I'd be
(22:31):
prisoner of my childhood. Absolutely you had a question.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, I think realistically though, you have to look at
that point and I just think the newness of those
guys playing together.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Burd and Magic were never on the same side. Ever,
there was never a reason for them that.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
In fact, they were on the polar opposites both geographically
and just of their entire careers. And then for them
to be in the same uniform with such a newness
and something that was so original that we just ate
up every second of and it still hasn't worn off
after thirty two years.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's true. It's true. So think about that, and I'm
gonna give you the other hypothetical. Now, I'm going to
give you a second to think about it. Hypotheticals, but
that is a fun one, Like what would then how
popular the team team was? What would the points Meyer
just say? Like that was shocking just for us to see.
Of course, you know, all these greats assembled on one team.
So props to our dudes over barstool for that one.
(23:21):
But here here's my hypothetical for you. I saw this
like some kids playing a basketball court. If I were
to say, you have two options, I'm just gonna give
you a million dollars or does this have to do
with baseballs? Yeah, into a basketball. I saw this too.
I did, okay, million dollars, Danny g iwa Sam, I'm
gonna give you a million bucks, or I'm gonna give
(23:43):
you a bucket of ten baseballs and you have to
make a full court basket throwing a baseball. And if
you get if you get one of the ten in
fifty million dollars, are you taking your chances or just
taking the original million? Think about it. We'll get to that.
We'll get to who you want to punch in the face.
(24:04):

the nose. Do you have an answer to the hypothetical?
I have two answers for you. Okay, you know I
was thinking about it. My first instinct when you said,
because we watched the USA pull out a really close
win over Serbia, but they stepped up when he had
(27:12):
to ninety five ninety one. Now they play for the
gold on Saturday against France. I hate hypotheticals. I really do. Like, man,
who do you think will win? Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali?
Would Roger Clements strike out Bibe Ruth ten? People love that,
but I'm like, I tune out of those. I think
the dream team one versus today's team is a fun one,
(27:35):
and I just think size and athleticism puts today's team ahead.
I don't think the thought of the matchup is as
fun as the hypothetical of what would Vegas set the
points spread out? Because yeah, because I immediately thought ten.
But I have to take it back, and I actually
agree with Dan Byer. I'm gonna go eight because you
can't deny the the chemistry of that team. They were ballers.
(27:56):
You know, we're just about to make it clear you're
saying the current team by yes, current team by eight.
But then guys like Len hit us up Lent from Idaho?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
What up? Len?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Not buying it? The toughness, the attitude, the never lose
attitude would be far superior. Just the toughness and tenacity
of yesteryear's team would beat today's team. And listen, Lent
shares the sentiment of a lot of people. But I
just wonder if that is glorifying your childhood the same
way you you know, someone would be like, yeah, dude,
(28:27):
Metallica is the greatest, like like you know, but that's
why he makes a point. That's why I'm going from
like ten to like eight. I still think today's team
would win. Like, you don't think Big too strong, You
don't think Lebron James is a superior athlete to any
of those guys. Damn buyer, what do you think about?
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Could you imagine bookmakers being like, well they want it more? Yeah, no, no,
it does not work like that.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Motivation is sometimes brought into it, but that's usually when
the line is set in trying to determine, all right,
how is this team good affair?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That team good affair?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
They may win nineteen ninety two may win, But when
you're talking about setting the line and how it would
lay out, I just don't see any way why this
how this stream team would not be favored of that game.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And dudes where ballers though, And that's why it's fun.
It's not to knock on them, but just look at
like physically, look at them compared to this team. Doesn't
mean they couldn't win, like Dan said, but I think
that's how it would size up and with the conditioning
that they have today, if those guys lived in a
different era. Oh yeah, that's why I'm etheticals for the
(29:30):
most part don't intrigue me. But that team was so
good that I could actually see them competing now. Your
other hypothetical is based on a viral clip which I
also saw. Again, if I offered you a million dollars,
no strings attack, no strings attached, would you take it?
Or would you take ten opportunities to throw a baseball
into a basketball net full court for fifty million dollars.
(29:53):
I'm taking my ten shots. I'm taking my ten shots easy,
and I'll explain why anyone else have a thought on this.
Taking the money guaranteed, Really you're gonna take one million.
Then I get to practice the bait throwing. You're talking
about throwing baseball's full court for the fun of it
until the opposite know. Sam, you've down a baseball before,
no practice. Here's ten shots. You can either throw them
(30:13):
in and get one in for fifty million for just
I've thrown a baseball, but I don't know if I've
tried to throw a baseball full court into a basketball
hoop a little practice. I'm not sure I'm taking the money.
The guy in this real hits it on his first try.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
That's why there's no question. And after seeing that, I'm like,
I could do that. The question is would the nerves
get to you? If there was a real fifty million
dollars on the table, would your nerves get to a problem?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Bit it's a mind game, then, so these dudes, I
just took the hypothetical. I guess he made the first shot.
I would take my chances for the fifty million on
this normally the true reasons I much more trust my
baseball and throwing ability. Now, listen, you haven't played baseball
a long time. I play softball every week. I know
softball baseball different, but I'm throwing every week of my life,
(30:57):
and I never stopped from the high school to college
till now. I'm still throwing a ball every week. We
throw football around the studio. There's two reasons why I
would take the ten shots at fifty mil, because fifty
mil is substantially life changing, where a million dollars is not.
So that's number one. Number two. A basketball court is
(31:18):
ninety four feet long, which means it's only four feet
longer than base to base in baseball. So that's like saying,
can you throw a strike from second base to first base?
If you're playing shortstop or third base? Can you feel
the ground ball and throw a strike to the first
baseman and a basketball or a soccer ball or a
kickball would bounce around a baseball hits a backboard and
(31:42):
just drops. Yeah. The guy that does it, he takes
the physical challenge, double their style. First shot. He tells
Mark Summers, I'll take the physical challenge. He hits it
off the backboard, no bounce, goes right in, and then
he pulls the orange flag out of the big rubber nose,
and you give there's a big second pancakes and he
pulls the flag up there and he wins the physical challenge,
Dan Bayer, did you think about it? Would you take
(32:03):
the million or the double Dare physical challenge? And what
physical challenge would you want to do on Double Tack
Well Sunday Slide. I would also. You used to think
my family would suck on this show, right. I used
to be like, I wonder how bad? But I thought
of what friend I would go with? Not him?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Oh, I'd go with him for sure, but I wouldn't
go with him. I also wouldn't be good in the
peanut butter and jelly finding the flow to pick your nose.
I thought the hamster wheel or the the jumping in
the ball pit was pretty easy.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That stuff that I could handle. I would I would
probably have to go for the fifty million. Yeah, yeah,
that's like a life changing opportunity.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, there's It's just like it's the game show dilemma, right,
how many times you're gonna be on the prices?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Right? How many times you're gonna play it's funny? Or
here's a show I watch on Amazon with my wife
sometimes just because it's easy background. See, I'm a Pellette
cleansed type of guy. Like if I watch a serious
deep like crime show. I can't go right the bet.
I'm like, Rich has to watch Nard Sharks. I'm like,
put on something nonsense. There's a show called The One
Percent Club hosted by Patton Oswalt on Amazon. Yeah, and
(33:14):
my wife and I there's a point of the game
where the people could be like I'm out and they
get a thousand dollars and I'm like, why would you
do all that to be like, oh, now, thousand dollars?
Like go for the hundreds of thousands, Like what are
you doing? That show needs a lot more money. Yes,
I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I've seen like the Australian version. Jim Jeffries, comedian host
the television as well. But yeah, to that point, if
there was something on the back end, like if you
didn't make it, then you couldn't say, I don't know,
watch baseball for a year or like ten years or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Then you have a real decision. But I think that
you have to go for the fifty million. Agreed, Hey
can buy it? Before your update, I saw Jim Jefferies
in an elevator at Serious XM one time, and I
saw him. He's in his leather jacket and his pompadoor
and he's just sitting there. I'm like, yo, I'm like,
Jeff Jeffries Man, I love you, dude. And he's like,
(34:06):
it's Jim. Nice to meet you. I could be to
walk away with shame. A huge fan Jeff Jefferies, jeffries Man,
I love you, dude. It's Jim. That is great. At
least you didn't call him Greg Jeffries your favorite future star.
All right, damn Bier, let's do this. What do we
got updated time? Yeah, it's uh we are.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
We are following the story that is Team USA and
what a game it was today in Serbia at one
point down seventeen, but in the end, what's up.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Short in the United States trailing by as many as
seventeen to the gold medal game.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
NBC Universal Peacock USA Network with that call as the
United States top Serbia ninety five ninety one, outscoring Serbia
in the fourth quarter thirty two to fifteen. Steph Curry
at thirty six points, Lebron James nineteen points, twelve rebounds assists,
Joelle Embiid the only other American in double figures, but
the Americans will move on to face France in the
(35:06):
gold medal game on Saturday, after the French dropped Germany
seventy three to sixty nine. Another story that we've been
following throughout these games is American spriner Noah Lyles come
to find out after he won bronze at the two
hundred meters that he had COVID, which is maybe one
of the reasons why he did not get the double gold.
He was the gold medal winner and the one hundred
meter in that photo finish, but settles for a bronze
(35:26):

on the top of the ninth inning at Cores in Denver.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Guys, back to you. Yeah, we talked about how hot
the Padres and Diamondbacks are. You could say how cold
the Braves are. Because if the Mets win today and
they're up like seven or eight one over the Rockies
right now, like Dan said, the Braves would be out
of the wildcard situation. Yeah, would you have ever thought that?
Like that seemed like the lock Like it was like
got Phillies and Braves and whoever else. But thank you.
(36:33):
And by the way, Braves are four and six in

Thank you, dB, and happy National Pickleball Day. Now we're
gonna do old school. When fifty hits, you got to
(36:55):
stick around for that movie plots that just wouldn't wouldn't
fly today. Really, we get to it next right here
on Fox Sports Radio live from the tire rack dot
Com Studio. Yeah, maybe to rules all right, Hey CNR
on FSR, did you know that this was considered by many,
(37:20):
but really by me to be the greatest oo yeah
yeah in all of rock music. Rich might be the
best ooh yeah that I've heard you ever hear the
joke that James Hetfield is the greatest dad because he
never says no. He just says yeah. Yeah. Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio on the Pool. Yeah, he
(37:42):
never says no. And we're live from the tire rack
dot Com studio. Now we have lots to get to
next hour. People you want to punch in the nose,
but right now, look at the time, there's a certain Yeah.
What we're gonna do is go back.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday Old
School went fifty at fifty after CNR give you the
time capsule topic and we reminisce together. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, I'm trying to check my IMDb right now, not
my personal one, though you will see that. I'm on
Grand Theft Audio audio and oh, no, grand theft oto.
But I was looking up Tutsi to see what year
it came out, and he guesses, Tutsi, No, No, I
(38:38):
mean eighty two, yeah, eighty two. Really maybe it was
just a little pumpkin pie haircuted kid. And I remember
how big that was when you're a kid, like everything's
big to you. You, Danny are a couple of years
older than me. I missed Tutsi along the way, but
I know today Dustin Hoffmann, well, that's the point celebrates
a birthday turns eighty seven. Yeah, dude, he's one hundred
(39:00):
and eighty seven. Hold on correction, so he's eighty seven today.
Legendary actors Dustin Hoffman and one of the biggest movies
in the early eighties was Tootsie Again eighty two. And
Vince fun was also in the news this week saying
comedies are on life support. There's just a blueprint that
people follow. They take the safe route. They don't take risks,
(39:24):
they don't lean into the funny, they don't take chances
for political correctness reasons. They just don't want to do
anything that could cost the studio money. They take the
safe route, and as a result we lose when it
comes to creative Yeah, he was just saying, like, if
you're a movie director or producer, you just don't want
to get fired. You don't want to get canceled. You
want you don't want to be pushed aside. So it's
(39:46):
safer to follow a more current day blueprint, which could
lead to a lot less funny and by the way,
for the younger people listening, Yeah, Dustin Hoffman, he's gay.
Lord Falker's dad didn't meet the f walk I walked, me, me,
me me. For people like Rich Davis only know him
(40:06):
as such. Well, I'm saying for people that didn't watch
the Graduate in Tutsie and movies from the seventies and eighties,
graduate saying it graduate is a classic I know, so
Dustin Hoffman, No, you're right, I'm like kidding, but don't
forget hook Yeah, I mean mine, mine, mine now now
now sort of a legendary guy now versus Cramer marathon Man.
(40:26):
Let's think about it, because Danny g was pretty adamant.
He's like Tootsie would never fly today because he dresses
up like a woman. That's the premise of the movie.
I forget like what he was trying to do, but
it was very misdoubtfire. Yeah, well to missus Doubtfire out. Now,
imagine like posing and dressing up as an old lady
so you could see your kids in the middle of
a custody battle like that. I don't think that would fly.
(40:51):
How about any movie where someone dresses up with the
sensitivity of sexuality and transgender this and that, like any
lady bugs. Wasn't the girl pretending to be a boy
on the Soccer Show? You though? How oh you could
say how insensitive we were back then or how serious
we are now. The whole premise back then was like, yeah,
Dustin Hoffin was he was such a great woman in
(41:11):
that movie. He played such a great woman, didn't he.
And the same thing with Missus Downfire? Yeah, you know, hey,
oh man, Robin Williams is so great as Missus Downfire.
Some people really would or might be I'm not saying definitely,
but might be offended by that. Todays row by the
way I just looked at up to see was since
he was given a ninety one percent on Rotten Potatoes,
(41:33):
So people still love it all right? So now, based
on all that what Vince Wand said and Dustin Hoffin
in this thought, movies that wouldn't fly today based on
the plot line. I think not only plotline, but scenes
like can you think of a scene from an old comedy?
Way Line has stated like like I'll give you the like,
you know what, I have a perfect answer, and I'll
(41:55):
save it and we'll take all your feedback. Movies that
wouldn't roll today more Next on Senor m
