I don't want people to forget.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
We'll be in Seattle, Washington doing our show live at
the Graduate Hotel. So if you're in the Pacific Northwest
doing a little traveling, hanging with the listeners of the show,
so again, Friday, November one, be with us Seattle.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
All right, Wait, so lots to get to on today's show.
We got midweek major, like we always do midweek. First
of all, I can't believe how the weeks are flying.
I know it's so cliche, but when you have time
stamps like Midweek Major, you're like, we're gonna blow the horns.
Danny G's gonna do his things spot's gonna host. We're
gonna break it down. Are the biggest stories in one

(01:11):
of the sports pop culture? Are they midweek or major?
We do that and then it's Week eight. We're heading
into Week eight football. But what it's gotta be because
this baseball postseason has been so exciting that it makes
it feel like time's flying into football season even quicker.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh yeah, no, no doubt. But you know, Jay Stu
from The Gottlieb Show hates people like you when they
say poems.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Floyd, I'm trying to figure out whine. I think it's
because I'm so invested in baseball, way further into the
football season than we're used to. Also, we gotta talk
Bronnie James and Lebron and Jason Kelsey. Lots to get
to on today's show. But Rich, I say, rest in peace.
Fernando Veleezuela, as a chubby, half breed Mexican kid growing

(02:00):
up with sort of a mullet like he had, he
inspired not only me, but millions of people, a true
legend El Toro and guess what, sixty three minutes way young,
but still left major impact. So rest in peace, Fernando.
We hear all the time living in Los Angeles about

(02:21):
how Fernando Mania was real, and you see it in
the stands. Man, Mexican families, all families, but a lot
of Mexican families inspired by him. They became fans, passed
it down to their kids and the impact is still there,
still strong and just a sad, sad story. Man.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's it's very clear. Since moving to LA You're one
hundred percent right. Every city's got their own, not even
hometown heroes, players that made an impact. And I mean again,
you're a Jersey dude. I grew up in New York.
You move out to LA. You talk Dodgers. It can't
leave out the name Fernando Vealezuela without hearing someone say,

(03:02):
you know, he got my family involved. For the Latino community,
all the Vatos Locos with their high socks and slides
like that was their childhood hero and it was electric.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
You remember, like the analogy would be for guys that
did grow up on the East Coast when Doc Gooden
would pitch and it was a spectacle and you would
look at the you would look at the schedule to
sort of time out, when's their next start? Because I
want to go to that game, Danny g I feel
like that was a sentiment.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
A lot of people said they would schedule watch. Yeah. Yeah,
But I would also say times too, because he was Fernando.
He's on the West side, he's playing in front of
his people, he's sort of unassuming. He had all these
rookie records. So I'm not taking anything away from Dwight Gooden.
I'm just saying, I bet you it was that times too.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, And you've seen the stories about how it was
a bigger even bigger deal in LA because he came
out of nowhere. He wasn't supposed to start the season
the way he did it. There was a late scratch,
so he got the start at Dodger State and he
went on a chair five and zero a point zero
five zero er and at Shay Stadium. Rich you've seen

(04:07):
the highlights of what he did there to get that
fifth win, and he not only took LA by storm,
but the whole country and Fernando manium Man, it was
a real thing. I talked about it just last week
when we were talking about big sports moments we had
in person. When my grandmother loaded me and the other
kids up in the station wagon drove us out to
Dodger Stadium for a Sunday Day game because Fernando was

(04:30):
the picture I was like in preschool and it was
an amazing experience as a little kid.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
And dude, all these down fools out here on the
West side, Rich, think about it, that's the first time
they saw another guy. Hey, that looks like my deal,
that looks like my chubby uncle there on the mound.
And if he could do it, man, maybe I could
do it. Like that's the first time you saw someone
like that lighting it up in the way he did.

(04:55):
And that's why it's really remarkable looking back. And then
when you hear the stories about not only a legend
on the mound but in real life and what he
did for his community. Just a big loss out here
in LA. And just want to make it clear, Rich
Knight grew up on the East coast, so we admired
him from Afar, you know, since we were kids. Don't
forget too Rich. He was also a good hitter, yeah, picture,

(05:17):
Yeah he was. He was a guy that get swing
to bad And I get the vibe, like, again, not
growing up out here as a kid, I get the
vibe that it was like insanity that lasted more than weeks.
I like that because you know why, Danny, here's why
not comparing the two careers. But people question like, was

(05:37):
insanity real? We were there in New York. We were
there walking around New York City, feeling the buzz of
the garden, talking to the people, and we're like, Yo,
this is wild. So imagine Yeah, those two weeks of
insanity times an entire career. I would. I'll take that
because it was a real thing that people don't really
acknowledge unless they live in That's I mean, that's why

(06:00):
I said that lasted longer.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
You're not going to compare the two once, Matmouth and
one is a you know, not a flash of the pan,
but that vibe of insanity for like three weeks in
New York. Imagine that for years with Fernando. Now, you know,
while I was ripping off my T shirt Hulkamania style,
Danny g was ripping off his Dodgers TEA shirt Fernando
Mania style.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah. He still does that for his wife frienda. Yeah,
on special occasions. One thing all.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Of us did as kids and sports was a major
bond for us and our families. And as kids, we
would pretend we were Eric Davis with his batting stance.
There were certain pictures we would mimic their wind up
in their throw, and Fernando was one of those guys.
He looked straight up to the heavens when he was pitching,
and his wind up was one of a kind. That

(06:48):
was another thing that set him apart.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, kids, totally mimic that. I think everywhere, dude, everywhere,
but especially out here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
You know, that brings up a fun little question before
we get into Bronnie and lebron and Jason Kelsey falling
asleep and a lot of fun today. You said, kids,
mimic Fernando Venezuela.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Who would you.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Put on that list of I mean, every every city's
gonna have their guys. Like if you were a Mets fan,
you had the Darryl Strawberry stance, or you know, maybe
the Don Mattingly or you said, the Fernando wind up.
What were the universal ones over the years, Comuno, because
I love that batstance guy that used to go on
Letterman once in a while.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
They got the batting stance guy. Yeah, is still funny,
but he's like old now, he's like old. He's old.
I don't know how he gets so old. I guess, hey,
Jay Sude, time's a flying because it is so Battingson's guy.
He's still funny and he still does all his line up.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, he would start doing his Carney Lanceford. I love
that's shaking up and down.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I love it. You know, Corney Lanceford is a good one.
Uh Julio Franco, like, there's so many front Craig Council,
Wan Soto in today's world, for sure. You know, kids
loved doing that, the Soto sweep, Sodo shuffle. Uh so
I thought, your boy, your boy, you know, to mock him.
Jeter is a good one because he would always adjust
his batting gloves and on any pitch that was a

(08:11):
little inside, Geter would do that exaggerated like whoa yeah.
Nomar was another one with the batting gloves. You made
me think of somebody else. Rich I was like, that's
gotta be on the list of people we all imitated.
Not just batting stance.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Get a little side arm action Eckersley style. If you
threw a little side arm.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Aggers, we called it a little saber Hagen back in
the day. Now it's Yankees Hill because he's doing that
in the postseason. But I was gonna say El Duque
because he had that super high leg kick, and I
think a lot of kids did that in the nineties
because he was so lethal in the postseason. What's the
dance he wls? Didn't you also do the El Duque dance? Yeah?
Babos bal dukek what up? dB?

Speaker 4 (08:54):
The late great Dan Quizenberry was the one, yeah who
went down low and that's.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Right, Yeah, he went down low under Yeah. You know,
I said Saberhagen too, because if you played RBI baseball,
you know he threw side arm like that every once
in a while. But Quisenberry was like she was at
a softball style like he was absurdly awesome. Yeah, if
you played with a ball, you had like a Quizonberry
delivery in your arsenal. Absolutely, I know I did. That

(09:20):
was a good one, Dan. Who else comes to mind
in tribute because you're right, Danny g Every kid, especially
here in La, no question, especially every little Mexican kid
in La did the Fernando Valensuay the wind up.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
So I think I mentioned before my grandpa was a
big Joe Morgan fan and Joe Morgan did that famous
elbow flap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like his back wing was
trying to take off.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know, in basketball, obviously every kid in LA and
around the country would do the Kobe or you know,
you would try to mimic like a Jordan fade away with.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
The tongue out, that sort of thing with Jordan. You
know what, man, I know this is me maybe, but
kids I played with Danny g I don't know if
it stood out to you, but they onmo line wind
up was also something some of my buddies did because
he would look backwards. That's right, yes, yes, he had
you know a lot of the Asian the way they

(10:15):
Japanese players, the way they swing the bat and the
way they even pitch sometimes it was something that stood
out to us as kids. So rich if you remember
Hadeo nomo On how he threw like that was something
that a lot of kids mimic back then. If any
others come to mind, you could, you know, give shout
outs batting stance, guys, do you know what Danny's right?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Rest in peace.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Fernando Allezuela not only a legend in LA but just
electric in the eighties of your baseball fan, if you
were a kid of the eighties like we were, if
you're in your forties, like even more so becus those characters,
the Fernandos, the Dwight Gooden's, the like you said that.
There were certain guys, the Rocket, Roger Clemens. There were
pitchers and batters. Is it a guys like Schmidt's you
know one of their baseball cards. These were the starting lineups.

(10:58):
These were the heroes that we up with.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
He was even more impactful because he opened a lot
of doors and a lot of eyes to other Latino
players and especially Mexican ones. Right, And you see that
in the stands. You see that in the culture that
was created as a result out here in Los Angeles.
You heard about it growing up, but when you see it,
you know it's real. So and the other thing. Man

(11:22):
sixty three rich just way young, Like, yeah, I don't know,
sixty three nowadays is like fifty three. It's a difference.
It's not our parents sixty three. It is a different
sixty three. Like Dan Byer announced that Luis Tiant passed
away earlier this month, legendary pitcher. He was eighty three,
and I was like, yeah, that's the eighty three. He

(11:43):
lived a good life. Sixty three. That sucks, and you
know I want to acknowledge too. I mean, we're here
on Fox Sports Radio. Fernando also did it in the
booth Man. He was a really well respected broadcaster, so
props to him. Yeah. You know, you move around quite
a bit. If you do, you go to a.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
City and you hear names that you might not have
realized were its impactful. Like it could be a country artist,
a rock star, a local broadcaster. There's people in the
community that you're like, Oh, I didn't realize what a
big deal they were. And we've been out in Los
Angeles close to a decade now, and the two names
that always come up that I'm like, Wow, they were
bigger than I thought.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Were Steve Garvey and Fernando Veleenswell yeah, but you know what,
here's the question, and I agree with you, but is
Steve Garvey on the Dodgers Mount Rushmore, Because it's been
made pretty clear that Fernando absolutely is because of his
impact with the organization, and you think about their history,

(12:43):
think about the Dodgers' history, and there's a spot for
Fernando Valenzuela on there. I don't know. If there's a
spot for Steve Garvey, you could.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Devote that Fernando's rookie year eighty one when they won
the World Series.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Who did they beat again? Dude? It's funny you say that, right,
because it's just seems so oddly timed that we're heading
into a Dodgers Yankees world series again. And as if
the Dodgers needed any added motivation, you know what I mean,
Roberts put something out there, yo, for real. Man, if

(13:16):
the dog like the Dodgers needed anything more to play for,
they're already stacked. And now they're like, dude, for Jenny,
We're do for Fernando. Now they're gonna try to fight
for Fernando. Man, Oh my goodness. I gotta tell you,
it sort of freaks me out. As a Yankees fan.
I'm like, yeah, come on, And I say that respectfully
because I think you should fight for fan of Elezuela,

(13:39):
But as a Yankees fan, I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, And just to put in perspective what you were
talking about with Garvey a little earlier, I looked up
from an LA Times article top twenty five greatest Dodgers
of all time, they have Steve Garvey listed at number fifteen.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, not to take away from him, but there's just
not enough room. Speaking of Rushmoores, by the way, we
are actually going to do one later in the show.
It's a fun one. We're not big on Mount rushmorees.
I feel like that is played out a little bit,
but it's a fun.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
One, and well it's a funny one and I know
you'll love it, but hey, let's switch gears. As we
say rest in peace to Fernando Valezuela. Last night, Bronnie
makes a debut. Now, I'm here on a business trip
in Austin, so I was out to a dinner and
the timing couldn't have been better. Danny g I'm sitting
having sushi with some salespeople and the bar TV has

(14:33):
shown the Lakers game, and I'm like, oh, I wanted
to see Bronnie's debut. And as we're wrapping up in
there and they're signing the check end of the first quarter,
and I'm like, perfect, we couldn't have been better timing.
I'm standing at the bar watching the whole second quarter.
Now I'm like, come on, already, what are they putting
Bronni and let's do this. And my takeaway, I'm not

(14:57):
gonna be as harsh as Doug Gottlieb who I believe
it's like a make a Wish story.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I'm sorry, it seems like a make a Wish kid.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I just felt like it was less about Bronnie more
about Lebron, Like, look, we're throwing Lebron a bone here.
It wasn't about Bronnie, look at you. You made your
NBA debut. It was more like Lebron your your boy
got a chance. Thank you, like thank you for everything
you've done in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
We got you.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
I mean I kind of expected it to feel like
that a little bit, because we know Bronnie's not some
all star player. He's he's a benchwarmer.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Well, I mean Big Mike who runs this place? You
know who run it?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
He runs this place the right Yeah, the older stone
Cold Seabuston, like Stone.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Cold meets Bruce Willis or something. That guy.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, he said, how often do you see a guy
get three total minutes in the second quarter? That's not
like a bench player three minute like that's It was
clearly an orchestrated listen. Media is here, fans are here.
They want to see it. Lakers are up, it's midway
through the second quarter, the Griffies are here.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, we took can't Graffy Senior off his comfy lounge chair.
Well yeah, contrived it was, but I think they balanced
it or smoke and mirrored it as well as they could,
because my gripe with it yesterday was to announce they're
going to do it to the start of the second quarter,
you know, really made it feel even more for us.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Well, they didn't announce that. That was what Windhorst was putting.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Out, okay, because that's all I was reading all day
is that they're going to put him in the start
of the second quarter, start of the second quarter, started
the second quarter. That was sort of the story. And
I was like, well, that feels kind of corny like
because it depends on where the game's at, right. So
they waited a little bit and he got in later
on in the second quarter, and then what happened was
anti climactic completely. I like the story. I love the story.

(16:59):
I don't want to take away from the story. I
think it's a very you know, I'm gonna say on
a way back Wednesday, a precious moment like those little
figurines your aunt collected. It is a precious It was
a precious moment. In fact, I want a precious moment
of the precious moment. But it was anti climactic in
the sense that he comes in. It was a cool
photo op, a cool moment. I watched it, we all

(17:19):
watched it. Wow, man, we're watching history. This is the
first This is the Griffy Griffy junior of NBA. Lebrony
did it. Man, your son's in the league. This is great.
I can only imagine how you feel. But then they
go on a seven zero run and then a seven
to two run, and Reddick's forced to sort of make
a move because the team had to get back in

(17:41):
the game again. Like so they took him out real quick,
which took away from the moment. But he took him
out so that it wasn't the story.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, lebron had one highlight play while his son was
on the court, and I wish Bronni would have made
that one three that he tossed up.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, that would have been though.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
He really he didn't have enough time in the game
to get into the flow of the game and do anything.
So for the haters, It was perfect because you either
went to bed last night or woke up with all
the memes and the stats saying, here's Lebronni's stats for
the game, and yeah, obviously they weren't good.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, Yeah, Reddick took him out so that the story
wouldn't be Yeah, and the team came back when Bronni
was in, So just as they started heating up the Timberwolves,
that's when he took him out. And you really can't
say anything bad. You can't say anything good. It was
a moment. And look, he's got to get his feet
wet in the NBA and Rich. As far as you're
saying it's more about Lebron, I do want to say

(18:36):
that you got to give Bronnie some credit for even
wanting to play with his dad, because who wants to
play in your dad, especially if you is Lebron's shadow.
I'm not saying he has a choice here, but even
my cutters like I would never want to play with you. Dad.
You're annoying. Most kids don't want to deal with their
parents at all. I mean, his dad's Lebron James, but

(18:57):
still it's his dad. Bro It was again. I also
love the story. It is a precious moment.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
But I think Bronni ends up being one of those
g leaguer back and forth on the team, not on
the team, and he'll get other opportunities with dad, but
he's not ready yet. And Dan Bayer I heard him
on the Gottlieb Show earlier.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yo, dB. What they scrolled on like the bottom third?
You made me laugh.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
You were saying how they said it's something about like
Kobe and his dad, they're just shy.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
So?

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, and this is true. I read it and I
wanted to get a screen grab and I never could.
Someone put on the bottom scroll that as soon as
Bronni would score a point that he and lebron would
would surpass Joe and Kobe Bryant being Bryant as the
highest scoring father son duo in the NBA, or would

(19:48):
pass them at least on that.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
List, which didn't like, what are we doing here? You know?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So Bronnie scores two and two toron thousands and thousands,
that's the points?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
What a random stat Hey, Rich, Remember when I was married,
I'll bring up my divorce today. You bring it up
all the time. Oh perfect, great. My ex worked in
music management. I had a full on boy band living
in my home. Dan Byer's like, really didn't know that
about you? What are you talking about? I never heard

(20:24):
this one. Iowa Sam. His hatches flew off. He's so
shocked he didn't know that. Guess what? Because I was
trying to be supportive. You do those things? Full on
boy band lived with me for years, Guys, years, I
was raising teenage boys and I had my own kid.
Just to be a good supportive guy. We all do
those stupid things for the women, and they turned in

(20:48):
to in sync. Yeah, okay, true story. You wish, I do.
I wish, but yeah, you do things for those you love. Listen,
maybe I would be getting out support.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Jason Kelsey, Dude, I think he also enjoys Taylor Swift.
It's his probable future sister in law. I'm sure it's
a fun show. I've only heard magical things about it.
But he's at one of Taylor's shows and it appears
as though he's sleeping and everyone's like.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
How dare he? And here's how he.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Responded on his New Heights podcast, Take a listen.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
I'm holding Ellie. I feel like I'm a like kind
of in a fishbowl. Like everybody's staring at me. So
I just sit down and then I'm just like sitting
here and I'm just like feeling it, and I'm like, oh,
I'm tap of my thigh and I'm just like in
the moment, listening to the song. And then all of
a sudden, I go on Twitter and I see this

(21:43):
picture and I'm like, dude, what the like, I'm not
even sleeping, and I could prove it to you.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
There's evidence in this photo that I'm not evidence evidence. Look,
that's hilarious. So again, Jason's sleeping at the concert because
his brother. They're all wrapped up in this world right
now of the Swifties, their Swifties by nature, because they're
just they're family. That's just how it is, that's how
it works. And Rich you're not necessarily innocent here, Well.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Hold on, let me let me go on to say
why Kelsey's innocent. The rest of that clip goes on
to say that if his eyes were closed and he
said he's feeling it, the still photo has his hand
above his knee and he's saying, no sleeping man can
have a levitating hand. So they caught him mid slapping

(22:38):
of the knee.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
But he was still nodding off, right, are they hanging
in there in the zone, in the zone he saw,
Oh I get it, like his eyes are shut because
he was just vibing so hard. Okay, all right, But
he does make a point. Why would his hand be
out there unless he's having a weird dream. Right, So
his his side is that he's playing air drums, he's

(23:01):
slapping his knee. His fanast song is a knee slapper.
So Rich, I got to call you out. I remember
one time we were doing this nerd Fest. Do you
remember this spot remembers us? You were there? God, I
do remember this. Cavino and Rich were assigned to like
go to some nerd convention in New York City and

(23:21):
broadcast live or it had to be a live broadcast.
We weren't just showing up for meat. I think I
know what it was.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was some like electronics convention, but it wasn't like
cool new tech.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
It was like it really was like honestly nerd Fest.
It was nerd Fest, like two thousand and eight, right, Yeah,
nerd Fest. And we were there with our technology boot
cut jeans and our graphic T shirts, our affliction t's.
We're like, what a bunch of nerds? What is this? Nerds?
So it was early two thousands. You're like, look at
all these nerds. Why are we broadcasting here? These people
look like they know things.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
Nerds, but you remember what was it many they like
technology and then okay, video games?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Wow nerds. Dude. I put on my best professional face
and I'm like, hey, here we are live from Nerdfest
awake because it was Rich. Do you want the ear? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (24:06):
It was the two thousand and seven Digital Life Expo.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
So I was close nerd Fest two thousand and seven
Digital Life Expert. This is how far I go back
with this bozo. So he's wearing some weak ass, you know,
button down probably from Men's Express unless it was still
structure back then. You know, Rich was wearing his shoes
from Aldo, and we're there broadcasting from this event. I'm like,

(24:31):
where's Rich. Rich fell asleep at our event, at our
live broadcast because he was so bored by the nerdy
atmosphere we were surrounded by. You don't believe me. We
got picture, photo evidence. I got photo evidence of you
sleeping at that event. What they're calling today, Jason Kelce.

(24:55):
I got another story too.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Listen, I'm the type of guy I've got to fall
asleep on the job.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I can't fall asleep on a plane.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
So keep in mind, it has to be boring as
hell for me to fall asleep, because again, I wish
I was one of those people. I'm flying back to
La tonight. You don't think I want to be able
to just get on that flight and be.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Like, ah, shut I the whole time.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I'll be wide awake. So for me to fall asleep,
it's got to be.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Mad, you know what. Rich, It's so funny looking back
and thinking about that XPO because it was at some
convention center in New York City. I forget which one
it was at center, It's Jacob David Center. But there
was something really glum and gloomy and really boring just
about the atmosphere that would put anybody to sleep. I
remember it was like a hazy, boring vibe in the air.

(25:42):
Rich was out in the first commercial break. I'm like,
where's Rich. He's sleeping, you know, on the side somewhere
at a convention. I'm like, what is going on? All right?
We got more next the communo and yeah, that's a
true story. We got the photo evidence and how about this.
This is a terrible story and we want to hear
yours eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Did you

(26:02):
ever pull at Jason Kelce? You embarrassed by it? Is
there evidence? Or where you feeling the vibe? You really
weren't sleeping, You were just resting in the moment. We
worked at SNY Danny g We did a TV show
live Covino and Rich talking nonsense on SNY, Home of
the Mets, Jets and all Things New York Sports, NBC
affiliate in New York City, so we did a live

(26:25):
TV show in Times Square and the show was so
much fun. It was so goofy. I can't believe looking
back that we did this every day live. One of
the camera dudes was our buddy, and like, what's he doing?
In between? He just fell asleep, like he had like
a bender the night before or something, and we were

(26:47):
like laughing about it, like, yo, let's call him, Let's
call him Jason. Yo, Jason fell asleep. The camera dude
zoomed in on him because we were just having so
much fun, like, yo, jeez, sleeping, look kill zoom in,
zoom in live on TV. The camera guy zooms in
on him. He gets fired because that was the last

(27:09):
not because of that, because it was the last straw
of of you know, his hand, because of that. Yeah,
you guys in the coffee, ye think I put him
in a sleeper hole. He was sleeping there in the
middle of the show. But we thought it was funny.
We didn't know he had like a whole like a
book on him already. We didn't know he was in trouble.

(27:29):
It's not like you hired Teddy Biassi to put him
in a million dollar dream.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
We felt by the way. We felt terrible because we
were like, yo, look at him. We were having fun
with it because it was a fun show. We didn't
know he had a bad reputation already. Better not does
off there, Dan Byer, We did some electronics expo and

(27:53):
it was boring and rich David fell asleep. It was
boring as hell, dude, it was I was the rich.
You were probably hungover. We were in our early Here's
how you could know.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Your bachelorette conversations are boring. That was actually pretty inno.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
No, here's how you could justify things like this though
we were in our twenties, probably were out late the
night before. You know, Rich was probably boozing and schmoozing.
We ended up doing his lame ass event and Rich
fell asleep at it. True story, Yeah, true story. Had
this ever happened?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
You know, it's funny we interviewed she must have been
like some tech girl or like some representative or something.
We're interviewing some girl and you Rich is like perked
up up in a seat, like really alert, like looking
over like really engaged. Yeah, but yeah, any sort of
learning learning from experts.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Have any of you guys ever fallen asleep on an
overnight radio shift?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yes, you know what. You always feared it though. That's
what you would bring your own timer, right, like an
egg timer or something. Man, Yeah, that's scary.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
It's the scariest feeling when you snap out of it
and you wake up. You're not sure how long there's
been dead air.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Don't feel like worlds. Danny just took the words right
out of my dreams like that.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
If you ever worked night, middle of the night, three
four am radio, there are times where you like you like,
you snap out of it, and Danny, you're right, you
don't know if you've been sleeping two hours or just
like five seconds.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
You just see like a light Yeah. Yeah, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
It's like that feeling where you're too tired to be
driving and you snap out of it and you're like,
oh my god, I'm never going to do that again,
And a few minutes later you start doing it again.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Well, yeah, that's that's when you got to pull over.
Danny'd be like, yea, I'm gonna I need a cup
of coffee or something. Yeah. I used to bring it
my own personal timer with me because I was so
fearful of that. If you have any stories to share,
you know, you don't want to pull a Good Fellas
and fall asleep at the getaway car.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Oh and by the way, we had an overnight DJ rich.
He fell asleep for one hour and fifteen minutes. What
the police officer was one of our regular listeners. He
pounded on the back door of the radio station and
that's what woke up our overnight DJ.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
So was dead air for an hour. Yeah, oh my.
We have a friend. His name is Human Newman, and
he thought it'd be real funny, like real great radio.
He's like, does anyone even care about what I'm doing?
So he decided to do every radio break of him
snoring just to see if anyone noticed, right rich As
the legend goes and and the story goes like no

(30:14):
one even picked up on it. Like at the end
of every song where he was supposed to talk, he
was just snoring and no one cared. No one cared
at all.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
He would store for twenty seconds, hit the next song
thinking someone would be like, was that radio guy snoring?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
And no one cared. He was at least hoping for
a reaction. No one gave a Diddley squad about it.
So again, you're Jason Kelsey moments, and you gotta give
him credit, like I said, for making his brother's world.
His brother who made his world about Taylor. She's the
star of the family. You know these things are gonna happen.

(30:49):
He's been there and done that. It's gonna be boring.
It's like you as a kid. Let's say you're a
teenage kid and you go to your sister's dance recital,
Like after you see their performance, you really care about
the other.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Once you go to a school thing. I bet my
daughter's in second grade. Every grade does like the Christmas
or holiday show. My daughter's class went first, and I'm
like perfect, I'm like, do I have to stay?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
How about this rich? How about when you were a
kid in high school or something and your teachers doing
the overhead projector routine or he has some sort of
slide show that was nap time, you're watching some slim
good body video. You're trying to stay awake. You're like
a teacher's calling you out, kicks your leg or something. Dude,
it was impossible for me to stay awake during those

(31:34):
boring classroom moments. That's really funny.

Speaker 7 (31:37):
I got some real quick. I would always have choir
right after lunch, and I'd always eat like a turkey
sandwich with triped to fan in it and drink like
a milk and there was something about like the singing,
and I would just doze off. It was hard for
me to stay awake that high school feeling. Dude, it's
a turkey and milkman, turned hold on, I was preparing
your lunch, by the way, That's what I.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Haven't had there so much tripped to faint in this
turkey that he passed out mid high No, like.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Turkey man, he's full of trift.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
That's so funny, man, So you know, are you the
inventor of the Jason Kelce. I want to hear your moment.
You ever go to a movie or a concert and
you couldn't stay awake and you paid all that money,
Let's hear about it.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, what's the one where Ben Affleck where there's like
a plane they're trying to get away at the end.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
He won awards. I don't know, man, Argo Argo, I fell.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Asleep during that movie. That's how I forgot. I woke
up and I'm like it was the end of the movie.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
I'm like a man, what happened? Kavino?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
I know you saw the good news that Andy Dalton
and his family they're good, right.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, No, that's very good news, because that's scary. I
got in a car accident not even a month ago.
Everybody heard about it, and this one seemed to be
a little more severe because his whole family was there,
and now he has a sprain thumb, so he's out
this week. But again they're happy to be alive, in fact,
to be safe, as she put out there on social media.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Now this did get us thinking because Andy Dalton arguably
one of the more successful redheaded athletes.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
In sports today. I mean, he's an NFL quarterback.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
I mean, that's that's pretty top of the line as
far as success. So I ask you, can you come
up with a better mount rushmore redheads than I can?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Because I feel like I nailed. I feel like I got.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
It in sports or period in life, the entertainment space.
So I don't want you to be like you know,
you know, you could add Oliver from Brady Bunch, but
I would not.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
That's not a good one. You mean, are you thinking
of Opie? Are you thinking of Richard Cunningham and pie haircut?
He had like a little blonde bowl cut, So forget
him then. So I think Canelo Alvarez is a legend,
Vato Loco forever and the fact that he's Mexican with

(33:59):
red head, you know, makes him extremely unique. Think about
his story. His story is sort of like Rudolph the
red Nose Reindeer. He was the laughing stock of the
of the Mario and now he's the fighting pride of
of Mexico. Like now he's their hero with red hair.
How about Duco? As we head into the world series

(34:20):
another red hair? What are you would adjusted Turner on
the list too?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
This is an elite list and I got all right,
Conan O'Brien. Okay, well, let me tell you what I got,
and you tell me if you could debate this Conan O'Brian.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I got Conan O'Brien. Wow, it was just a guy.
I'm a huge Yeah, but I didn't know he was
on your mount Rushmore of celebrity redheads. Hey, I was saying,
do you know what year I started liking Conan O'Brien, Man.

Speaker 7 (34:50):
Let me take a let me take a guess here,
and uh you know, hold on, yeah, how about this year?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Man? How'd you guess?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
So I'm gonna go Conan O'Brien, Canelo Alvarez.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Oh wow, Louis Kenny, you're crazy for that one. That's
controversial and Ed Sheeran. Oh my goodness. I mean every
list is made with the intent of garnering some sort
of reaction. Come on, Louis c k Now, I don't
know if you really believe that, dude, or if you
really are leaning you're gonna say he's bigger than Bill Burr.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Bill Burr's a ginger. Yeah, Bill Burr shaved his head
though it doesn't count no more.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Hey, I'm a Louis ck fan. In fact, he's another
redheaded half kind of sort of vato loco forever. But
he's on your Mount Rushmore. Dude, what about? What about? Uh?

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Sam Darnold? What do you want me to put a
Ron Howard on the list? I'm telling you who I
know what?

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Hold on? Hold up for you to put Louis c
K over Ron Howard? Tells me you don't put much
thought into this is the king of all redheads. There's
no one more Mastadon and Memethean than Ron Howard in
the ginger world. He's the most successful by far of
anyone we mentioned. Yeah, you know what Luis c K

(36:14):
does me makes me do all the time laugh. Yeah,
but that's not bigger than Ron Howard.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Canello has brought me joy watching some great boxing. Conan
O'Brien laughs for decades. And Ed Sheeran is one of
my favorite artists. I mean, he's defied all Okay, So
redheaded guy is awesome.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
This isn't like the real redhead mountain. This is like
Riches Mount Rushmore. Because you know, I love Ed Cheron too.
He might be on it because he's so damn talented,
But I'm thinking David Bowie was was that a red wig.
Is he the most famous I don't know, is he
the most famous redheaded guy in music? Think about it?

(36:52):
I don't know. You gotta throw Howdy doty in consideration here.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
How could you guys leave Queen Elizabeth off this list?

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Fergie ye Rich? Sorry read who's redhead?

Speaker 1 (37:05):
I mean, I feel like I feel like I've thought
this alchemy can put no effort.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Rich wants to put a little Old for Nanny on there.
Son will call. I'd say you have to have Ron Howard.
If we're making a universal one, that's yours, Rich, and
I respect. Everybody's entitled to their own top four. I
found a list of redheads their own you know what.
I want to hear your list here?

Speaker 7 (37:27):
Iowa saying there's a lot of women, especially, but like
Danny Bonaducci's on there, Yeah, Julianne Moore.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Christina Hendricks is on mine for too, not parts of
her body, her head like Marsha Cross No, her talent
and her beauty.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
Okay, Adams are saying is redhead.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
She's a natural blonde though. You know, Amy Adams is delightful.
She might be on my my Mount Rushmore too. She's
super talented. Who else Isla Fisher. She's a redhead. Yeah,
some people get those two confused. Okay, so mess what
we're asking here in tribute to the good news.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
Nicole Kidman, the really good news. She's like a strawberry blonde.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
About Andy Dalton. Okay, by the way, did you hear
the Nicole Kidman story?

Speaker 6 (38:13):
Oh yeah, Steamy, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
So throw that at midweek major just if he has
a bonus?

Speaker 6 (38:18):
Okay, Okay, that has nothing to do with anything, but okay, yeah,
pervert alert. There's so many other stories I could include,
but sure I'll include that one.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
The junk show was yesterday in honor of damn it
Andy Dalton.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Maybe maybe that aligns with me putting Luis c km
I list Andy Dalton.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
He's fine. The family was involved in a car accident.
There is an update to that story. Dan Bye already
mentioned it. But that means that Bryce Young does get
the start, his first start since week two. So we
got Bryce Young starting. Andy Dalton's all good, his thumb
is recovering, the family's fine. His wife put out an announcement.

(38:56):
But because of the Andy Dalton story, we're like, is
he like a Mount Rushmore athlete redhead? Kind of guy.
So that got us thinking of your red headed ginger
Mount Rushmore Dalton, was that practice today? Yeah, that's great news, man,
Yeah really, because it could be really scary. So he
was checked out. Everything good based on that.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
Not necessarily true, but that's okay. Sprain thumb. He's going
to try to be the number two quarterback. But Spot,
if you want to do my job, that's totally fine.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
To practice facility a day after shot Park crash.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Scary moment for sure, everyone was, okay.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
This is the head coach coach in the accident.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
He did sprain his thumb.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
So Price will be playing this week and we'll be
evaluating Andy day to day going into this weekend to
see if we can get him up as the two
on game day.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
There it is there is Should I say he was
going to be the QBA? He said, everything fine, Spot,
That's all I'm saying. I'm just trying for what you're
doing is you're forgetting that Spot is the know it
all of the show. Come on, how dare you he
doesn't drink the club? Stick to the real news. Yeah,
the Kuksheiser spot. So based on Andy Dalton, do you

(40:00):
respect or disrespect Riches? Mount Rushmore. Do you give it
the boom or the doom. I'll give it the Boom's
genrich again? What's your four by four coden? Oh, Bry,
I like the cod one. I can agree on that one.
Yah say Canelo Alvarez. I can't deny Canelo and his
his impact on the sport.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Take away his creepy moment. Think of how Louis c
K has made you left?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
No way? And I love Louis c K. No, and
he has a tainted history. No way, He's on the
creepo list who so so based on that, there's someone
else way more deserving than Louis c K. For as
much as I like him.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
Okay, Rupert Grint, he's a redhead.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
I do.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
Ron Weasley from Rupert Grint, from uh Ron Weasley?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Ron Weasley, Yeah, he doesn't make it. He makes mountain nothing.
Don't you get Carrot Top? He's not on my mountain?

Speaker 6 (40:55):
What about carrot guy? Could buy a car there?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Carrot Top on the show at the Super Bowl and he's,
you know, been entertaining with props for forty years.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, yeah, is looking at Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I heard the voice. I didn't know where it came from.
Uh carrot top. I love carrot top. I can't deny
carrat Top. He's he's been around for so long, dude,
he was doing Johnny Carson and we still talk about
it's like sixty years old. That's his name too, Like
I mean that it's it's insane.

Speaker 7 (41:28):
What I don't get about a carrot top is the
top of a carrot is actually green.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Oh that's funny. But here's here's what I say to carrot. No, no,
it's not, it's not don't, don't, don't. It's a carrot
is green. Carrot top over Louis c k just because
he has such legacy and he that's his name. It's
not like Louis c K is like, yeah, I'm ginger
Man or anything like that. He owns that gingerbread man. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
How about how about three time Olympic gold medalist Sean White.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah, I thought immediate ginger. He's a true carrots part
of his nickname. Well, hold on here. The only way
that he's not on the on the Mount Rushmore because
he's like a legitimate bona fide medalist superstar. All this right,
if you look at recent pictures of him, is sort
of he he's sort of abandoned or he outgrew it,
like his hair is brown now he could run from it.

(42:18):
But you know what, rich if you were going to
do a legitimate list, not just riches list, right, you'd
probably have Sean White, Ron Howard Man, Conan, and Canela.
I think those are the four most mammoth redheads I

(42:40):
think in history of awesome? Is is Mike Schmidt too old?

Speaker 7 (42:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:46):
He did have ready here? Huh. I think he's like
brownish red mustache? Is it red? You think if we
did this like forty years ago, he'd be like right
at the top. You know, there's those debatable people when
you look this up, because we asked Micha who runs
this place before? Who? Yeah, and he doesn't run this
place just for anybody who's listening.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
He doesn't have any power whatsoever here Fox Sports, Right, Chuck.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Naris came up more like he's not a redhead. But
Chuck Naris always comes up like he's a ginger. He's
not a ginger. So I feel like Mike Schmid is
one of those borderline guys. Yeah, you know, I feel
you on that.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
It's like, I don't know because I agree Mike Schmidt,
Madmot damn By. If I considered him a redhead, I
might put him on the list, but he's too he's
too Strawberry Blot Hall.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Of Famer, five hundred home runs, legendary third baseman. Yeah,
if we really fell into that cratic category, he I'm
knocking out somebody and putting him in. All right, So
if there's any other honorable mentions based on this Andy
Dalton news that we got today and again the update
was because Dan announced this yesterday, but the update is

(43:48):
that Bryce Young gets to start because of the thumb.
What are your thoughts? Who would you add or take off?
Who are we forgetting Pete in Vegas? You're on the
Cavino and Rich Show eight seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
My guys are forgetting a great met Labron Derange, Rusty Stop,
Oh my.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
God, how could I mister met himself forget Rusty Stubb
In eighty six they all come out with ginger wigs
to pay tribute to him.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
He's in the conversation. He could be on your Mount
rushmore he's not on the Mount Rush. He's on the
ginger bench.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Yeah, yeah, I mean there's a difference watching with all
due respect to the redheads out there, there's levels. He's
a ginger when you are like orange hair, that's a
little bit of a rougher life to be at the
man and be an orange haired guy. That's so, that's
like Rusty stob Ed Sheeran. I mean that's a different level.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
So you get extra level credit when you're like when
you lean real the orange. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
I was at a funeral once and I wondered if
someone there was Rusty stab So I had to look
it up, like I because of the red hair factor.
To your point of I'm Michael, he's probably a little
bit older.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
By the way. It wasn't him. It was not him.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
But to what Rich is saying, like when they have
the red hair, yeah, oh wow. I wasn't borderline at all.
I got his rookie card. It's one with those multiple faces.
I think it's a nineteen sixty three special. You want it, Rich,
I'll sell.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
It to you. Him Howdy Duty and who else? No
I do, I haven't. Who else are we forgetting? Who
else comes to mind? Is uh Pete in Vegas still there?
And no? Who do we got? Danny g.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
The phone lines are actually starting to melt right now,
so I'm getting the.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Hot topic of the day. Yeah, are you who? I thought?
We went dummie fishing. We caught million, We caught a
million dummies. Look ahead. People are like, I know, redhead.
I just want to nominate my boy Fred.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Let me tell you it's uh, here's red. You know,
it's nice to know we call him Fredhead. I know,
you know Andy Dalton can't with that red and his
family's fine, but hey, it got us thinking of all
the redheads out there, and Ed Cheran and Conan our
heart to take off my list, Caveno and Canelo. So
it's that fourth spot I think I'm really looking for.
If you don't, because.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Louis c k I feel you, you know, I might
not be the one growing up in New York. DJ
red Alert he had red hair and freckles. DJ red Alert.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Give him problem that for also for diversity, like we
don't have any black eyes of red hair on this list.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
That's a good one. How often how often do you
look at a man's shoes and how often do you
see a man of color with red hair? DJ red
Alert had red hair and freckles like red from show
Shank I know. So anyway, give us your your nomination.

(46:45):
I guess for an official not your personal, an official
top four. You know what, Rich, when it comes to
your personal cheering might be on that one. Bro he is,
he's a beast in the music world and he garners
a lot of respect, so I would not. Oh well,
what about See this is very male driven in this conversation.

(47:10):
What about Why am I turing a black in her name?
Ruma has it? Yeah? What about Adele? She's a redhead?
Is she not? What about you? Was talking about Ginger?
Ginger from Gilligan's Island. You're talking singers? Just made me
think of Rick Astley. He wasn't never give you up right,

(47:33):
So we're forgetting we excluded women. I'm sexist, hoast like
Lucille Ball by the way, does she dye her hair? Yeah?
O my god?

Speaker 6 (47:43):
And white so much that every's going off the rails?
Are I started downhill?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
How do women not count? Did we say a couple
of Yeah, we named some females, yeah, but Rich was
like Louis c. K And we just named like like
three legendary redheaded women.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
You know the less You know that's funny. Can I
make an observation? I'm curious if anyone else can relate
to this. Anyone else's grandfather or an older generation have
something about redheads. I feel like my grandfather always used
to be like all redheads World War two, the greatest
generation of men World War two.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Type of folks loved redheads.

Speaker 6 (48:20):
Less than two percent of the world's population is ginger.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Did you know that? Yeah? I think they're gonna be
extinct eventually. Seriously, I read that somewhere, because you read
that somewhere. He read.

Speaker 6 (48:33):
It was like.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Bigfoot than redheads. Yeah, yeah, I can't believe of all
the things that we talked about today, I've had more
bigfoot sightings than redhead sightings. I really thought we were
onto something when we were talking about Fernando Allen's way,
when we were talking about Bronni. But now you bring
up redheads. Phones light up. Yeah, we have loaded lines

(48:59):
when we come back. All right, So we got breaking
news from Dan Byer and we get to your phone calls,
is Covino and Rich what's up? dB? Freaking news from
Fox Sports?

Speaker 4 (49:13):
You guys want to know how I know it's the
NBA season. Zion Williamson out tonight for the New Orleans Pelicans.
He's gonna miss their season opener against the Bulls because
of an illness.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Oh you don't say wow? How about Kawhi?

Speaker 4 (49:26):
Kawhi could miss multiple weeks. According to Shams, he's already
ruled out for tonight.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
But have you have you seen that funny meme going
around because it can't be real, but some guy wagered
like ten cents in Vegas to win like a half
a million dollars it was for Kawhi to play over
seventy games.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
That's actually Hillary ten cents for That is funny.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
That is very funny.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Let's do it, do it, Sam Covino and Rich get
you over the middle of the week when.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Mid Week Major.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
I love that we throw sports and pop culture headlines
and topics at the fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 5 (50:11):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 6 (50:12):
We definitely here.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
To see it. Our scoring mid Week Major remix because we've.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Got to give Spotty at least six and a half
minutes here.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
What's every week before we hand.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Things over to the number one and only host to
the segment. You hear the horns, you know you've made
it to the middle of the week.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Now.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Rich is in Texas, Covino's here at the home studio.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
So Cove, I'm gonna have you call heads or tails
in the air.

Speaker 6 (50:38):
Go tail, It is actually tails body.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
So Cove gets first take.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey, Spotty poor Alright,
I feel like.

Speaker 6 (50:56):
Hey, guys, I like this is kind of fresh hot
off the press. So we'll see it's juicy. We'll be careful.
Dampire is gonna yell it. He might actually Last week
we talked about Robert Salle going to shop at Whole Foods.
Spotted at Whole Foods this weekend, know where. He was
spotted at Packers practice on the sidelines checking out the
offense for the U as they were practicing for Sunday's

(51:17):
game versus the Jags.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
He sure it was him and not another built. It
was him.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
He was spotted there at the facility, longtime friend of
coach Matt Lafleur.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Lafleur spoke after practice saying he has.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
A quote fluid role with the team, just hanging out
this week, giving a second set of eyes. Nothing really
long term. He was staying with Lafleur for the week,
so just showing up a practice. Who knows, maybe more
permanent role in the future, maybek er major.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Look, a lot of these jobs in the NFL, jobs
in life are are built on relationships. So is it
true they have a friendship. Of course they have a friendship.
But that's how things get rolling, that's how conversations start,
that's how people get jobs into the next level. I'm
rooting for the guy. I think this is major. By
the way, root for the guy. I don't like how
the that's handled this situation. I feel like he was

(52:02):
the escapegoat to the whole Aaron Rodgers situation. So I'm
hoping this pans out good for him. I think there's
smoke there rich eventually maybe some fire in Green Bay. Listen.
You know me, I'm a Robert sala fan. I feel
like he was a scapegoat.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Like you said, he'll land on his feet, and you
know what, some people don't want to be away from
the game like we suggested, Maybe he.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Just take the rest of the year, regroup. He'll get
a defensive coordinating job somewhere. But he's back at.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Actually, no, what it reminds me of remember when the
charges got rid of Anthony Lynn and Kyle Shanahan's like, Yo,
you're gonna be my assistant coach and we'll figure it out.
He ended up being the forty nine Ers running back
coach and now he's with the Commander. So a lot
of these guys can be don't want to be on
the sideline for a minute.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
How about when Chunk was seen with Slock and Chunk said,
you're gonna live with me?

Speaker 6 (52:46):
Now?

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Remember that? Yeah, all right, that great joke.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
The fifty to fifty home run ball finally has a
new owner. Despite some of that ownership controversy over who's
snagged the ball, the actual owner decided to forego his
free what was it like a photo op in a
bag of peanuts and hand it over to Golden Auctions.
Earlier this week, Ken Golden spoke that it could go
for his high at ten million, while the auction closed

(53:12):
last night four point three nine two million dollars, making
it the highest price ball not only in baseball, but
in any sport, breaking McGuire the record for McGuire's ball
midweeker Major Major again.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Mark McGuire's seventieth home run sold for three million this
sells for over four When all said and done, this
was a major moment in sports. We don't even know
who got the ball. That's a mystery in itself. You
have to imagine some super rich Japanese baseball fan. But yeah,
it's a legendary moment, and there's still controversy behind. You

(53:45):
know what happened and how we rechieved balls Moving forward,
it's a big story. Props major. You said you said
retrieved balls. He retreat balls. Listen, this is major.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Balls major simply for the fact that someone's family stars
have changed because someone caught a damn home run in
the stands crazy like Kvino. Imagine all of a sudden,
someone in your family's, like our family bank account now
has an extra close to five million dollars in it.
This is life changing because someone got lucky right place,
right time.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
It's like winning a mini lottery. I think it's awesome.
You know what the weakest part of the story is, though,
The only weak part about the story is ken Golden
overshooting the estimate by saying ten thousand, then it makes
I mean ten million, because then it makes it look
not as valuable as he thought out.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
No, no, maybe it's like the old Trump part of
the deal where you overshoot and get what you really want.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Anywhere it is.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Maybe, so he's the expert. I love his shit. Rich,
this one's for you.

Speaker 6 (54:41):
Fresh off the NLCS appearance, the Mets have made it
clear that they plan to spend some big bucks in
the off season. Of course, with Steve go cohing behind them,
and they freed up about one hundred and fifty million
in salaries, they're going to be spending a ton of
money Sterns. David Stearns said, quote, the entirety of the
player universe is potentially accessible to us. There's an enormous opportunity.

(55:03):
I envision us taking advantage of that opportunity and being
aggressive in certain spaces. Of course, there's no secret that
they have their eyes on Juan Soto Orioles Pitcher, Corbyn Byrns.
So we'll see how goes Midweek or Major Rich. You
take this one.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
I feel like David Stearns is gonna invite Wan Soto
up to the game show booth.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Big money, big money, big money, big money.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Stop no whammys yo, heya with your owner.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
I'm going to the yakeys. I hope he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
But when your owner and GM are talking about how
we're freeing up a lot of money and we're gonna spend, spend, spend,
and the team already has a good vibe, it makes
Met's fans really excited for the future. And that's what's
the problem with baseball. A lot of teams owners and
gms don't want to pony up. That's why you gotta
love Uncle Stevie Cohen.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Yeah, I agree with everything Rich said. Very major because
there's major money involved, which involves major superstars. And if
you look at the track record, I know Soto's really
fitting in New York in the Bronx right there with
all those Dominican fans Washington Heights. But guess what city
Field is not that far and they got a lot

(56:10):
of money to spend, and he seems to chase the bag,
as they say nowadays. You know, he's been on three
teams already. What's stopping him from a fourth? You know
he's going to negotiate, And I think this is very major,
all right. I guess I could squeeze it one more so.

Speaker 6 (56:23):
Baker Mayfield. I don't know if he saw the clip
floating around where people were calling him out for slipping
a nicotine patch into his mouth. Yeah, well, Zin, the
brand behind the pouches is not actually I guess not capitalizing,
but using his opportunity to send out a good message.
They actually chastise the Bucks QB for releasing a state
by releasing a statement saying Swedish Match, which is the

(56:44):
brand behind Zen, appreciates its loyal customers and encourages them
not to show the product in any situation where someone
under twenty one years old could see it. So they're
just kind of giving him a little bit of flack. Also,
NFL policy states you kind of any alcohol or tobacco
on the field or during interviews. So who knows if
a fine will come down as a result of that

(57:05):
midweek or major?

Speaker 2 (57:06):
Uh? Major? Because I feel that any young person, especially
a young person that continues to make these mistakes and
dabbles with nicotine knowing how bad it is for you.
We've seen so many horror stories in our lifetime. Like,
to me, that's just foolish, and I think we should
learn from other people's examples. You know, you got to

(57:27):
be a total speaking of redhead legends, you gotta be
a total Bozo to dabble in that aura today, great
redheaded legend Camino. By the way, there's no uh, this
is only nicotine, there's no I know. But still, like
you're you're a professional athlete, man, don't you want to
like put the best fuel in your body? Why are
you doing this on the field on the sideline And

(57:47):
you know I'm a Baker fan. I'm just saying I don't.
I don't really condone any of that behavior, period. Man.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
I think it's sort of mid because I think, I mean,
if you're gonna go around the world up sports and
see who's chewing on some chew or they're drinking or
smoking weed in the NBA, like people do things.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Man, there we're grown ups going.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
Just put a niccoderm CQ patch on your throat or something,
I don't know, just on your neck or whatever.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
All right, thanks weird, I.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
Have lots more. It can be more time next week.
Thanks next week.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
It's more time for spot. Just one more minute, that's
all I ask for. Thank you. All right, dB, take
it away, guys.

Speaker 4 (58:20):
We've got some news coming up for Sunday night football.
Rich is Niners taking on the Dallas Cowboys on the
Niners side of things, said coach Kyle Shanahan says that
Deebo Samuel does have a chance to play on Sunday
despite being hospitalized earlier this week with pneumonia. On the
Cowboys side of things, the four Worth Star Telegram is
saying that kicker Brandon Aubrey miss practiced today because of

(58:42):
jury duty. In fact, Aubrey's been picked to serve on
a twelve person jury for a felony case and could
miss other practices this week.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
It is not expected to.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Affect his game availability for Sunday, but the Cowboys could
be without their kicker because of jury duty.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
That is wild, get it, dude? I mean, like, is
he is he that committed to his community?

Speaker 4 (59:05):
He was, like you would think that would be the
excuse to get him out of it. I played for
the Cowboys and it's kind of the on season right now,
but he wanted to keep his commitment and ended up
getting picked for the jury. So he's one of the
twelve on the jury.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
By the way, I don't want to chase it, but
I've never ever done that ever? Am I the only
guy here? I've not ever done it?

Speaker 4 (59:25):
I've done I wasn't picked for a jury, but I
went in and was questioned.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Yeah, I've never done that either, either that or I
ripped the envelope up. Just never. I think we've all
said it, right, I mean, I'm kidding.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
I just got my very first one in the mail
and it says that I'm due there November twelfth.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
I don't have to kick for the Raiders that week?

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Is it also like a little insulting if they don't
pick you, Like, what's wrong with me?

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Am I not a citizen good enough for this? You know?

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Man?

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Yeah, it's quite a process. Now Rich his whole Cruden store.
Maybe we discuss it tomorrow or on over promised.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Yeah, we can get into it a little more then.
I just thought it was interesting if people don't know
we're talking about John Gruden said he roots for your Raiders,
Danny g even though they did him dirty and all
the allegations and the old emails and everything came out
while he was on the Raider's clock, he still feels
as though he has a soft spot for them, like

(01:00:24):
that's his team still and he's all about it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Yeah, I mean I can see that from his time
there in the black Hole in Oakland.

Speaker 6 (01:00:31):
Did I see his son also, and yeah, it's still
on the staffs on the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Staff so yeah, he's weight training, you see him. He's Yeah,
it's hard. It's hard to root against like the organization
that your son works for and that you were such
a big part of. Already, I could see that they
did him dirty. So maybe there's some resentful feelings, like
I got resentful feelings to other places and people that
did me dirty, But that doesn't mean I'm rooting against them.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Well, and it's the NFL who threw him under the
bus there with those emails. We never got to the
bottom of that really, and I'm not sure what the
latest is with that lawsuit and everything, but I wonder
what the trajectory of the Raiders would be had that
never happened to Gruden, because you remember the team was
starting to finally trend in the right direction.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
It was a huge setback. It was so like so
many third lines to that story. And they still wound
up making the playoffs that season.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
Remember, and if you remember Danny g he was a
big part of their future plan.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Like it wasn't just oh he's our coach. That was
like the ten.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Year deal, like Groot's part of it. And yeah, man,
it's it's it's wild to think that it just all
went south.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
But it begs the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Question when you leave a job, when you leave relationship
and people go in a different direction, do you root
against him or is that like sort of salur grapes
Like you almost like want your exes to be happy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Maybe you're not as happy as you are.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Maybe you want them to be like with someone maybe
can you know, slightly less handsome you, I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
You're Yeah, that's that's usually my preference. So I don't
want them to be with Guston like, oh man, that
makes me feel great. I want them to be with
some some wenus. Yeah, I don't want them to be
with while and I want them to, you know, be happy.
But I think it also matters like who did the
breaking up. That's really what it comes down to. If

(01:02:22):
you did the breaking up, of course you want them
to be happy if they left you in the dust.
It takes some time. It takes some time, and you
wish them well and you won't get health and good
vibes for everybody, But how do you root for your exes?
Is the question? Which is right? You know, when I
look at social media now and I see all my
exes and their happy marriages and and their kids and

(01:02:45):
beautiful families. I like to take some of that credit.
To be honest, I'm like, haven't I been such a
bad boyfriend? They would have never found that guy? That's
it right there. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm just kidding,
but my real feelings are like, hey man, it's really nice.
I'm glad they're happy. I'm glad they had everything worked
out for them. I think that's a healthy mindset to have.
I mean, could you know you just prepared them for

(01:03:06):
didn't want. One of Comito's exes once said thank you
for being with me because I found out what love
Wasn't that's true, I swear to God. Yeah, I got
to like a long letter written to me. I said that.
I was like, that's great, thanks all for that. Hey, listen,
be John Gruden, be better than that. Correct proof of
the success of your exes, your old jobs. We'll see
you guys tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Until then, have a good night, ribadreci baby, See you
in the Promise Land.
