So check out our social media pages for updates and more,
and our Fox Sports Radio clips at Fox Sports Radio.
Let the wild Rumps start. It's a new day eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Let's Go.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
My number one observation has nothing to do with the election.
It has to do with when Donald Trump's up there, yeah,
doing is thank you, thank you. I like when he
does his dance, that's the best part, does a little dance.
I was sam I'm working on those moves. Can you
hit me up with some YMCA because I feel like,
I like how that's his song is beyond me. But
(02:45):
it is Donald Trump's up there, village people style. You know,
he knows what this song kind of represents, right, I
don't think he does.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, just check it. I think it's just reason to
do that dance. So he's up there dancing, all right, everybody,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I can't take my eyes off of you could kill
the village people, not literally.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I can't get it out of my head. How humongous
Baron Trump is? Is this kid gonna be in the NBA?
Everyone on that stage is like relatively normal high, a
little tall. What Donald's like six two or six or three?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean they're pretty tall, the entire family, and his
kid's even taller.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'm like, yo, take a seat, kid. He's been tall
for years. It's just every time you see him, he's
even taller and six ' nine now and he's wearing
a suit and he's standing sort of near the center
of the stage. And whatever Donald's saying is going in
one ear and out the other, because all I'm thinking
is he's got to be six six, six ' five.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, baby's sick. You know how tall Baron Trump is
six ' nine.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I remember just a few years ago he was six seven.
He's a growing boy. He's a young man, like I mean,
what a big fella. So that was that was my
one bird brain observation. U with Brownie, Yeah he is, Yeah,
he is great defender of that kid, a boy.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah. So hey, I did notice that as well. That
was it. Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, But my Trump is tall the end tall. I
love lamp. My other observation is a question for all y'all,
is it fair to compare politics and sports. There's a
lot of similarities. There's a lot of parallels, parallels for example, strategies. Hey,
(04:44):
the Yankees lost. I was sad. There's a lot of
sad Kamala fans today. There's a similar feeling. You're pulling
for somebody, you're rooting. There's other examples. There's plenty of
parallels and analogies I can give you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So yes, I mean, and.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
The reality is whether you're political candidate or your team
wins or loses, life goes on.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Life goes on without me?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Really, why is way more important than the other. That's
maybe the major difference. But there's a lot of similar
feelings involved.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's funny Rich brings that up though, Cove. I just
texted you in the group chat. Who who's the czar
of the telestrator for CNN?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh that's John King?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So King is in front of the board and he
made a sports analogy. He's like, so, if you know sports,
and he wrote on the board, look at that thirty
one to nineteen. At the time, He's like, that's the
score right now.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Where's Perry lunch? Following a score?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
You'd like to look at it like a score four
quarter game.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And you watch election night every four years with that
same sense where you would watch a big game. We like,
I'm gonna sit down and focus in on this. You
get your spot on the couch and it's a night
of watching. And I know you said one's way more
important than the other.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Agreed.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I can't debate that, but its effect on your day
to day isn't that much different?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
True? Like I know it sounds crazy about get it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, Bush one, if Clinton won, if Trump won, it Biden,
you know, does it really? Your day to day has
very little change. The same way if like I said
to my friend, I go, I'm sorry, I know you
were rooting for Kamala Met's lost two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I feel you were they offended by that. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't think it's the same as when someone says, oh,
I get it. I have a dog and you're like,
I'm talking about my kid. You're talking about your dog. Well,
you know, depending on who you vote for, it could
affect the future of your kids. So people take it
way serious and way too heart. You see a lot
of cry baby antics in both. And I don't like
the sports fan that cries about it. I don't like
(06:49):
the political fan that cries about it because you got
to move forward. Your day today is supposed to move forward,
and you're supposed to hope for the best. Here's my
best sports and alloy I think if you want to
compare sports to politics his courtesy of mister Wonderful, he
basically just expressed the same thing I think and feel.
But he said it on CNN, and I'm saying it
(07:11):
to you on Fox Sports Radio. He goes, the Democrats
got to look at it this way. It's a win,
much like the Yankees lost. You go back to the
drawing board and you see where they were exposed and
what the problems were, and you hope to come back
and make those changes and you're stronger next year. Mister
Wonderful said, Yeah, Trump wins, but it's a win for
(07:35):
the Democrats for them to now regroup, figure out what
the American people didn't like, why they didn't get the
votes they thought they were going to get, make the changes,
make some adjustments, and come back stronger in four years.
And that's me that's very similar to a sports like
mentality of yeah, all right, there's some problems here, let's
(07:56):
fix them and come back.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
We'll get them next time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean there's a lot of analogy, I guess things
between sports and politics. Yeah, you're right, but sometimes a
kick to the nerds and a reality check is what
it takes for you to make those changes. Otherwise you
don't make those changes, you know what I mean, Like,
you're not forced to make any adjustments if you think
everything's great. I were reminded last night that not everybody
(08:20):
agrees with your policies and your ways of thinking, or
maybe it's just a slight adjustment here and there. Maybe
it's a person involved. That's for them to figure out,
much like the Yankees need to figure out the first
base situation.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
If an NFL team doesn't make the playoffs for the
third year in a row, then they have to start saying,
all right, well, because I think a lot of people
are saying, man, how did Trump win? You shouldn't think
of it that way. If you're a Democrat, you should
you should not be thinking, man, how did Trump win?
You should be thinking how did they lose?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And think of it.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
With sports, you don't say, man, how the Dodger win?
You got to look at where did we come up short?
If you're a Mets fan, a Guardians fan, Padres fan,
and I think taking a good look in the mirror
is how you get better at your job, sports, life, marriage.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And it applies to politics.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And I think you also see sometimes what would be
a great example other than maybe Robert Salad Danny g
hit me on, maybe like a Wade Phillips, give me
a coach that is a clear, coordinating genius, but maybe
not a head coach Josh McDaniels and Bingo.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Was his name. O.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Maybe Kamala Harris just isn't a president. You know, like you,
these are all sports analogies that aren't terribly off right.
You find out who you are, you make adjustments, and
I think at the end of the day, no matter
who you voted for, you really do have to just
root for the country.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Otherwise then you're just the a hole. That's what are
you rooting against us? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So you could hate Donald Trump, but well your mindset,
there's hypocrisy there. I don't want this to turn into
a political show or debate. There are similarities. Think of
it as a sports team. A lot of the criticism
about Trump and Trump supporters is that he's divisive, right,
and it's divisive, and he divided the country and he
(10:20):
provided a lot of hate speech that drove a wedge
through people. If you now are a cry baby about
the results, whether be your sports team or the election,
and you're like, wow, I'm not playing and I'm not supporting,
then you're then the one choosing to separate yourself, dividing
(10:43):
you with other people, creating the wedge you're doing exactly
what you accused him of in that sense. So yeah,
united we should be, and you got to move forward
and learn from the mistakes, back to the drawing board,
much like they do in sports. And they did that
on CNN immediately after. They started saying, well, where did
we misstep? Where did they go wrong? Was it this
(11:04):
part of the policy, was it this stance, with it,
this person, this move? You try to figure those things out,
much like you do in the NFL or any other
game you're playing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And if you're a.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Person, your team doesn't win, life goes on and you
root for the best teams out of it. Do you
not watch the Super Bowl? Do you not watch the
World Series? Of course that that's the mature approach, but
it does. You know, you got to give people grace
or couple days to states. So I didn't want to
talk about the Yankees the next day, and again it's
not as serious as politics, but I didn't, right, So
(11:35):
you got to give people a day or two, let
it simmer, and then hopefully let it process and hopefully
people get on board and just deal with it and
hope for the best, like you said, and there are
very there's a lot of similarities. Put it this way,
when it comes to sports and politics, it is fair
(11:55):
to compare, but respectfully, you have to almost preface it like.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh no, that's saying there the same. Well it is.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's like when you are I think the best analogy
is I said it before when you were talking about
your kids and one of your friends is like, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I got a dog, and you're like, I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
The proper way is like, I'm not saying they're the same,
but I do have a dog, and I like, you
have to at least to address that. There's a huge
different there's commonalities, but it's not the same. Right, So
there you go. That's it. That's all the politics. You'll
get what's up, Iowa, Samuel.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I just want to go back to the life goes
on discussion if you are someone who's kind of grasping,
grappling with the results from last night. I saw a
great meme about a month or two ago. A guy
sitting in the stands at Lambeau. The sun is shining.
He's holding his beer up to the sun, like cheers
to this great beautiful day. It was the same picture,
right next to each other, and he's like my life
(12:50):
under Kamala and the other picture says my life under Trump,
and it's just like it just cheer. Just the sun's
gonna come up every day, absolutely, and just you need
to just enjoy your life as you're missing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, was there any difference when you woke up today? No,
very windy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There's a bit of a leap where we have a
chance now to move forward. It's the wind of change,
and you could also look at it like a new
day to make the adjustments you need for four years
from now.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
There's a big fire by my house. I was like
rioted last night.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I mean I woke up the wind wind wind, damn Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Can you blame someone you on? Trump? Isn't fair to
compare sports?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
No, he won? I thought the other where do you go?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But you know what it's uh, it really is a
do you would you consider today a fun day or
a miserable day?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
To you know, peak on social media?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Consider it Wednesday? Like I was Sam good one? Did
you get that from Mia Sam's joke book? No?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I agree, It's it's just another day. It's a midwek major.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
But to make it seem like social media is not
a wild place today, that's another.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Come on, we're gonna have fun coming up later on
the show. Politician or NFL player.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Please, that's great. I love it. Congressman or middle infielder,
I love it. Honestly. Can we do that this week? Please?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's actually to answer Rich's question, is it fair to
compare sports and politics?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It is if you do it respectfully.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
If it is, if you preface it the right way,
and if you angle it the right way.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Send it. Not the Senate member or bullpen arm.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Do government worker or NFL player.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It doesn't even have There's five hundred and thirty five
people in Congress and that between the House and the Senate,
guaranteed there's names in there.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We would have no idea that. How about it down
you might know two names? All right, Well they have
it sports politics. Can you compare them? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I guess so right. You can compare anything you want.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Okay, Yeah, I'm just thinking if there's any other comparisons
we could make here other than to be expressed. No,
you see, Jerry Seinfeld said. He criticized the school system
in New York. He said, like, if you need to
take the day off, go ahead, come on, grow up. Well,
like we said, people process things different. You give him
(15:12):
a day or two and hopefully everybody just moves forward.
There's relief in that it was a crazy night. It
really was, and one of the things that happened to
me I found to be more interesting personally.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
As the votes were going up, right and I'm watching
the results, You're like, Wow, this is wild. Who's more impressive?
John King on the touchscreen or Hanson on red Zone?
I don't leave out my Steve Karnaki.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of Karnaki, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't know. Hanson does it every week, so.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, I like when he goes to the Witching Box.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, especially when the games get to the Witching Hour.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
They're all impressive, they really are. What's up, Dan Byers, I.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Don't forget Andrew Siciliano, even though he doesn't do it anymore.
He was the original truth. Don't feel Scott Hanson gets,
you know, a lot of the hype. But Andrew was
there first, and I feel like John King was there
before Kornacky came.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
You know what, and Dan Bayer, I back you up
because you know what, I've never met Hanson, but Ceciliano
is a friend of ours. Yeah, so you know what,
why would we not give him credit? Yes, I'm sure correct. Now,
while the votes are being tallied and they're going up,
I'm like, ah, man, this is cool.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'm just watching like everybody else, waiting and see what happens.
My daughter comes up to me and she says, Dad,
we have to start a fundraiser page for the cheer team.
And immediately I'm like, well, how long have you known
about this? She's like, I found out yesterday, but we
only have like two more days left to do it.
(16:46):
And then you thought again, when did you find out
about it? And then I was like, when did you
really find out? Did you wait last minute like Dad
did all the time. So I want you to start
thinking back, guys, way back on a Wednesday, when you
would go door to door just trying to earn that
literally jack you wanted. You were selling raffles, doing that
sort of thing. Because now today's challenge for a kid
(17:06):
most of the time is well, they got to set
up some sort of page, which she did on her own.
This is her little page. And what they were doing
was selling popcorn to raise money for the cheer team
for uniforms and travel. And competition and things like that.
It's a charter school high school here in Los Angeles,
but it's part of the LAUSD school system, but they
(17:27):
raised their own money for things like that. So she
did the due diligence of creating the page. And she
asked me, Dad, you know a lot of people. Can
you send it to your friends and family for me?
And I said, sure, you're a good kid. You do
good in school, you get good grades.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Bother me, but you're still a good kid overall. I'll
send it out. She comes running into the living room.
I'm watching the results. She comes running in and she's like, Dad, Dad,
people are buying a lot of it. She went from
like zero old place and she's skyrocketed with the bullet
the first place immediately thanks to the power of our
(18:07):
listening audience. And I just posted a little link on
our private listener page. Like there's like fan pages. Believe
it or not, we have fans. I know it's hard
to believe. I look at them more like friends and supporters.
So I just posted link, Hey, my daughter's selling popcorn.
And I made it very clear this isn't a gofund me.
(18:28):
But if you want some popcorn she's selling some Yeah, man,
people came through. The support was real. I was touched,
I was honored. But she went from last place to
first place, so crushing the dreams of the first place
girl in the matter of like twenty minutes. Here's the question,
seems unfair, but hey, man, I got some pull.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
What are you gonna do? Nobody?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Here's the question. Is that cheating? Is it cheating? Not
necessarily cheating? I gotta tell you, it was more exciting
for me personally than watching the election last night. Is
itch Wow, I'm like, I think he's winning by a lot.
If if you go to your workplace and dug in accountings, like, hey,
I want to busk some chocolate for my kids, you
(19:08):
know soccer team. Hey my daughter's doing dance camp. Can
you buy a gourmet popcorn out of a tin? When
when the responsibility gets thrown at the parent, does that
destroy the whole point of raising the money?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because this isn't it's like the hardest.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
The point or is the point raise as much money
as you possibly can? So again, and there's a difference
between go fund me because you're asking for a handout
or you're actually getting something overpriced, granted, but you're getting
something back like a T shirt or a chocolate bar
or some popcorn for that money, funding something for the kids,
(19:48):
all right.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, like her dad is Tony Danza.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I know you guys argued over this when the whole
Lissa Milano thing happened.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But that was the difference because she was looking for a.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Freebies right fundraiser to send. She's when a rich can
break the news to you. I'm on the radio. I
don't get anything rich in my life. Is this nerd
nick to my left? But yeah, I mean there's a
big difference between who's the boss money and.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Radio guy money. Wait, we do nicely, you know, we
live in our life.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know, I didn't start in a sitcom with Tony
Danz and also you know a two other sitcoms. Samantha,
you're begging for money, when when Samanda was begging for money.
When a rich celebrity is like, give money so my
kid could go on a trip, that's way different than hey,
you want to buy cookies from my kid's fundraiser, because
you're getting cookies essentially the girl Scout cookie model, right,
(20:38):
So based on that, and I'm seeing all the support
and I was very thankful and grateful and and as
you know, was my daughter. Do you feel you're taking
away their hustle by doing that sort of thing for them?
So we will take your feedback on that. Plus, of
course we dive in head first to the NFL getting
(21:01):
closer to Yeah, I know it's hard to believe.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Week ten.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Week ten of the NFL a great game that kicks
things off on Thursday, Cincinnati and Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So we'll do a little.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Peak at Week ten. Spot's got midweek major. We'll talk
about chasing money. And I have the perfect way to
get your mind off of politics if you're in a
bad mood or a good mood today, because today.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
This is a sensitive day, Rich, I feel it in
the air.

in the ass, I mean my kid, but h rich,
I thought of another similarity before we move on. You
started off the show with is it fair to compare
(23:24):
sports and politics?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, they're not the same. That's how you started.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Off, right, Well, it's not the same, but you know,
we make some changes, we regroup, and we get them
next year or four years from now. If you consistently lose,
you got to address big issues, right, Well, where did
we slip? Where did we mess up? So there's that
game plan strategy that is similar. But much like the
sadness I felt recently when the Yankees lost and life
went on And by the way, much like sports politics
(23:53):
similar in that parties looking for their next big young star. Yeah,
that's a similarity for sure. Who's that next? Who's the
franchise guy or girl? Who are we recruiting? Who's that guy? Well, anyway,
what upset me most about the Yankees? Right invested just
like you were last night. I was invested all year,
(24:14):
but I was upset that they didn't show up. Man,
they didn't show up. You have to look at it
this way. I think Kamala fought a pretty good fight
with her limited time. She did well, She did well
in the debates, and she showed up. Think of what
she was left with. It started off with Joe Biden.
She had to pick up from there. So that being said, yeah,
(24:37):
he won significantly, but she still showed up.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And I think there's a good feeling in that.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Like you make those comparisons too, so is it fair
to compare? It's not the same, but there's a lot
of similarities, a lot of parallels. Now, while this was
going on and the votes are coming in, my daughter
was part of this cheerleading fundraiser and she started at
the bottom and now she's here. She started at the
bottom because she hadn't opened up her little store, her
(25:06):
online store. Each kid had to open up an online
store to raise money. They're selling popcorn for the cheer team.
She came up to me dad, I started my page.
She wrote her little bio, added her little picture. Thanks
for the purchase. You think you could send it to
some friends and family. Now, if she wasn't a good kid,
(25:27):
I'd tell her to beat it. But she is a
good kid.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
At least she does.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You're a kid, No, I'll tell you what I mean.
She is a pain in my ass. She's a teenage girl,
so of course she's a pain of my ass. That's
sort of her job. But she does what she's supposed
to do. She gets good grades, she stays out of trouble.
And I'm like, you know what sure? And I posted
it on like just a well, we do a Patreon
Monday through Thursday, so I just posted it on like
a Patreon group page called the Carl Page. Before you
(25:54):
knew it, she was top of the ranks. She's in
first place. She has more sales than everybody. Fifty percent
of the profits go to the cheer team. But it
does post a question of are we taking away the
hustle that we developed as kids going door to door
trying to sell little legraffles by this little League sticker, yeah,
(26:15):
or fifty to fifties, or trying to sell a chocolate
bar for your basketball team. Are we taking away that
hustle from today's kid by doing the work for them?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I think no, because I let it be known to
her rich. You have to position these things right way.
I'm only doing this because you do your part. That's
the only reason Dad's helping you in this way, because
you do your part. Otherwise you'd have to go door
to door like that did and call up family members
and things like that. I think you have to establish
it that way. And I look at it this way.
(26:46):
My mom did so many book reports for me, so
many dioramas, and did it make me any less of
a guy? I have great work ethic, I don't think so.
As a parent helping a kid out, Yah, you do
everything you can to help your parent to help your
kid out. There is a layer where it's like, well,
(27:07):
the whole point is for her to learn responsibility and
do it.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
No, the whole point is for them to raise money.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I know, but I guess you would say the secondary
would be there you go to gain responsibility. But the
reality is, if your daughter had the insight to say,
you know, dad might feel to help, isn't that her
using her resources? I think, so I think, and you know,
now the kids are like, how does Melody know kids
from Wyoming? How does she know people from Texas and Minnesota.
(27:35):
It's like, well, because her dad's on a national radio platform,
that's why.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Cheater.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, but it's all relative to the size of your steeple.
She's only so cool as cool as she is until
Marriyo Lopez's kid is selling popcorn next, right, So the
question here Fox Sports Radio Nation is are you taking
their hustle away by doing these things for them?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
But I also want to differ.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Actually, the difference between a fundraiser like this when you're
buying something and and a GoFundMe when you're just asking
for money. Yeah, that's that's trashy. There's a big difference.
If you're just like, give me money, I wouldn't have
felt right about that. No. But if you're saying, hey,
my kid's selling chocolate or cookies for their school, yeah,
here's here's twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Or is that the same thing to you? No? No, No,
I don't think it is. I don't even think it's
in the same ballpark.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
No, it's you're you're buying an overpriced candy bar or
you're getting nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
So your thoughts, any thoughts from you? Sam?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Is it fair or did I cheat? Do you take
away a kid's drive and hustle? I'm telling you, I'm
looking back. My mom helped me with so many projects
growing up. Yeah, same right?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Like did she do the work for me a lot
of times? Probably? Did it make me a bad guy?
I don't think so. I always have this debate. In fact,
I could look back and appreciate, Hey, my mom helped
me out. I always have this internal debate. How about
when you had a type? I h I type myself.
You make a type? Yeah, because you worked at at
an office and had that equipment.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
What was that joined at my mom's office for getting
some homework done?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You guys, moms would type your book reports. I would
go there. My mom loved me.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Was the resources, you know, research, I was using my resources.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
My mom was my personal secred. I mean my mom
would type some stuff out. My mom could type very fast.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I mean typewriters back then too, electric typewriters. My mom
did her fair share of what do you call with
a shoe box? And you made like a scene, what's
the thing on the on the coat hanger? A mobile,
a mob a mobile mobile, bio mobile. My mom did
all that stuff, but typing, Wow, you guys got your
mom at a different level. Huhs resources. So she was
(29:45):
a great typer man. If the bigger question is taking
away your kids, If the bigger question is are you
taking away your kids? Hustle Right, It's like you always
talk about how who are the best fighters, the fighters
that are trying to find their way out of a
bad situation, right, like the it's the Julio Cesar Chavez
junior effect. He doesn't have the fight his dad had
(30:05):
because he was raised with a silver spoon. Yeah, he
was Ricky Schroeder. You got to ask yourself, Dany, like
Danny G you and Brenda love to take the kids.
I'm sure when you get the opportunity and have the
funds to go to like Disney. Now, if you buy
the VIP like park Hopper pass and you get to
cut all the lines, that's what you want to do
because you don't want to wait. But you're teaching your
kids the wrong lesson if they never have to wait
(30:28):
in lines.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
It's one of the hard parts of being a parent
because you want to teach them a good lesson patients kids,
but you also want things to be smoother and a
little easier for them than it was for you.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Age.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I don't want to wait two hours. I don't want
to wait two hours for splash Mountain. But guess what
is there a lesson in your kid waiting?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Or is that just no? It sucks no matter what?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
But looking back, there was a prideful feeling you had
when you sold a certain amount of raffles for Little
League or fifty to fifties or stickers, whatever it was,
and you got that Little Little League windbreaker that you
earned because you sold X amount. There was a sense
of pride you did learn. But again, I think it's
how you position these things. I told my kid, I
(31:12):
would not be sending those out to our listeners and
friends if you didn't.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Do your part.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's a good hypothetical. Let me let me ask you
guys one sports related question. With the way your mom
never covered your books as a kid. Yeah, with the
newspaper bags from with the supermarket backs. Yeah, so she
was doing It's not like they didn't do stuff for you, right, Ye,
my mom did a lot, but typing that was good.
I oh yeah, I didn't get in on that scam.
You should have, Danny. Let me ask you, because you've
attended a lot of games. I'm sure, Dan Byer, you're
(31:38):
a man of the You're a man about town. You've
been to plenty of stadiums and sporting events.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You know how.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
You may have bumped into one person in your life
that's like, oh, yeah, we were a Nielsen family.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And you're like, oh, you're one of the people that
rated shows. Have you ever met you were a Leslie
Nielsen family? Does that count? I love Naked Gun, please, squad,
I feel you. Yeah. I mean my whole family loved it.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Does anyone in the room he's talking about the ratings, Oh,
the Nielsen ratings. Has anyone ever met someone that actually
won the stadium.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Fifty to fifty?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Because sometimes you go to Dodger Stadium or big event,
it'll be like the fifty fifties up to four hundred
thousand dollars and you're like, you know, someone's walking away
with two hundred g's.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
At a Brewer game a year or two ago, a
friend of mine from high school's dad won.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, that's nice to know because I always think it's
just a scam. Yeah, like, how do you know if
they gave it away or not?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, so you get you a little print out you
I gotta take twenty bucks worth and you're like, man,
when did they even call these numbers?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Maybe I wanted anyone who I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
It was at a Brewer game.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
It was a regular season Brewer game, so it's not
NFL where there's eighty thousand. And it may have been
like a mid week so there may you know, maybe
twenty five thirty thousand there.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But the winner is Fred Molltor Like, this is rig
Man Paul's grandpappy one.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
This ain't even fair.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
So I just forgured I throw it out there because
every time I go to a state, I'm like, man,
some lucky person here. Imagine you go to the game
and you walk away with a few hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
That's awesome. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Well, hey, let's go to the guy who knows someone,
Dan Byer, what's up, DV.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
I always liked Fan Appreciation Day at the end of
the Major League Baseball season, where they would give fans
prizes throughout. Yeah, you know, like you could you could
have won a car if you went.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Hey, I got I got one last question, Dan Byer,
you're you're a dad. What's more important than these things?
The actual cause, which is to raise money, that's the
whole goal. Or to teach your boys or to teach
kid a lesson. It's like, I think the goal was
to raise money. The goal wasn't really to teach your
kid to lesson.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
I think it's to teach a lesson. It was very
difficult for me when I was younger to speak to
adults or to talk or to call up and say, hey,
I'm having a and my mom wanted me to do that.
So that's what I would have to do. I would
have to whether it be like selling booster buttons for
Little League, that's the thing that.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You would do.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
You would be and it was the easy sail in
the world.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
But it was the climbing of the wall of talking
to an adult or being uncomfortable or being able to
present what you are selling.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Glad he said that, you know why, I'm gonna take
some dB advice because it's a great point. Melody, Call
your grandma and ask her, Call whoever and ask Hyell,
call Rich and ask him. You know what I mean, like, yeah,
that's that's some great advice.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I do, I do.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
See both they're going to say, yes, it's more of
just learning that skill to be able.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
To do so.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
And now he's on the radio.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Forty had good news for you, Rich forty nine ers

moment in life right now. There's a lot of sad
people today. Rich especially feels a little hard to be
grateful sometimes. Well, there is, however, one thing in life

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Now we talked first hot or if you missed it,
if you want to catch on the pod later. Is
it fair or not to compare sports and politics? Well,
we gave you all the parallels. There's a lot of
similarities in parallels and takeaways you get from your team
losing and the changes made and.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
A lot of parallels.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
But yeah, or is it more like when people say, oh,
you got kids, I got a dog. It's like I
don't know the same or not catch it on the
podcast before I missed it. Now before we get to
Juan Soto, before we get to week ten of the NFL,
I figured I break things up with a a fun story.
Now this would require I was Sam, you give your
(37:55):
grito on standby? I guess today is a National Nacho Day.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
You know the origin of nachos.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Because I mean, I don't know anyone that doesn't like nachos. Well,
I know, four nachos equal one tortilla. So for every
four nachos you eat, that's one tortilla fatty, So look at.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
It this way.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I'm gonna drop a fun fact about nachos. I do
have one pet peeve about nachos. If you go to
a sports bar and they don't tell you it's like
cheese whiz, I'm definitely upset. I'm expecting melted cheese.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Naz is better than the nacho cheese, and they can
it's more flavorful than that fake nacho cheese.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
I don't want like pump cheese. I want melted I
want melted cheese, like cheese that was felvita, grated and
then melted. There's places that do both. I have this
theory a wise man chooses nachos, and I've been on
a quest for thirty something years for the most megadope
chose in all the land.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Mago dope. It's a fun game. Now.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
If you wonder why is today Nacho Day, I don't know,
but I have the story in the origin of nachos,
and that alone is worth a quick little breakup, a
little uh, a little palate cleanse. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
cavinon Rich would you believe that nachos didn't exist until
nineteen forty three? I mean, pizza didn't exist until the fifties.
(39:33):
That is true, So I'm not that surprised, So we've
come a long way. That's why we went to war. Yeah,
over nachos, because there were no nachos. So when you
think about it, tortilla chips didn't exist until seventy years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
They did, we wouldn't have to fight the Germans, the
Germans and the Japanese.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Okay, here's the origin. The Germans first created in nineteen
forty three. Feel free for mariachi music, Sam if you want.
This is a great story because we got to give
credit to a guy that doesn't get any love when he.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Should, guy that changed our life. Actually he does, you
just don't realize it.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
In nineteen forty three, a guy by the name of
Ignazio Nacho, which is a nickname for Ignazio.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yeah, but not everybody knows that, so he does get
credit every time you order nachos. The guy's name was Nacho.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
When we worked at.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
ESPN, one of our buses Ignasio the Nacho. There's millions
of Ignacio's all over the world. Nacho is the nickname. Yeah,
so Ignasio anaya no it is. Nacho created the original
nachos in nineteen forty three. I feel like I'm at
a Mexican restaurant. Right now, here's the story. Good old
(40:49):
Ignasio was in the kitchen at a restaurant, the Mayer
d and one evening a group of army wives came.
Men had had the munchies right around closing time, and
Nacho was the only guy left, and he said, I
can think I can make you up something. He cut
(41:10):
tortillas into four, put cheese, jalapagnos and some toppings, melted
it served it to the women. The women said it
was the greatest little snack they've ever had. People from
all around came to have quote Nacho's special, It's Nacho
ordinary snack or something. So since nineteen forty three, this
(41:36):
guy has not got the credit he deserves.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
So today we say thank you. Or it's named after Nasio.
You just didn't know.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
He's a show notcho man.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Rich what's to be man?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
So happy nachoda and thank you Ignacio Nacho a naya
for nachos.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Let's Go.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
My number one observation has nothing to do with the election.
It has to do with when Donald Trump's up there, yeah,
doing is thank you, thank you. I like when he
does his dance, that's the best part, does a little dance.
I was sam I'm working on those moves. Can you
hit me up with some YMCA because I feel like,
I like how that's his song is beyond me. But
(02:45):
it is Donald Trump's up there, village people style. You know,
he knows what this song kind of represents, right, I
don't think he does.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, just check it. I think it's just reason to
do that dance. So he's up there dancing, all right, everybody,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I can't take my eyes off of you could kill
the village people, not literally.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I can't get it out of my head. How humongous
Baron Trump is? Is this kid gonna be in the NBA?
Everyone on that stage is like relatively normal high, a
little tall. What Donald's like six two or six or three?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean they're pretty tall, the entire family, and his
kid's even taller.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'm like, yo, take a seat, kid. He's been tall
for years. It's just every time you see him, he's
even taller and six ' nine now and he's wearing
a suit and he's standing sort of near the center
of the stage. And whatever Donald's saying is going in
one ear and out the other, because all I'm thinking
is he's got to be six six, six ' five.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, baby's sick. You know how tall Baron Trump is
six ' nine.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I remember just a few years ago he was six seven.
He's a growing boy. He's a young man, like I mean,
what a big fella. So that was that was my
one bird brain observation. U with Brownie, Yeah he is, Yeah,
he is great defender of that kid, a boy.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah. So hey, I did notice that as well. That
was it. Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, But my Trump is tall the end tall. I
love lamp. My other observation is a question for all y'all,
is it fair to compare politics and sports. There's a
lot of similarities. There's a lot of parallels, parallels for example, strategies. Hey,
(04:44):
the Yankees lost. I was sad. There's a lot of
sad Kamala fans today. There's a similar feeling. You're pulling
for somebody, you're rooting. There's other examples. There's plenty of
parallels and analogies I can give you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So yes, I mean, and.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
The reality is whether you're political candidate or your team
wins or loses, life goes on.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Life goes on without me?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Really, why is way more important than the other. That's
maybe the major difference. But there's a lot of similar
feelings involved.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's funny Rich brings that up though, Cove. I just
texted you in the group chat. Who who's the czar
of the telestrator for CNN?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh that's John King?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So King is in front of the board and he
made a sports analogy. He's like, so, if you know sports,
and he wrote on the board, look at that thirty
one to nineteen. At the time, He's like, that's the
score right now.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Where's Perry lunch? Following a score?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
You'd like to look at it like a score four
quarter game.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And you watch election night every four years with that
same sense where you would watch a big game. We like,
I'm gonna sit down and focus in on this. You
get your spot on the couch and it's a night
of watching. And I know you said one's way more
important than the other.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Agreed.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I can't debate that, but its effect on your day
to day isn't that much different?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
True? Like I know it sounds crazy about get it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, Bush one, if Clinton won, if Trump won, it Biden,
you know, does it really? Your day to day has
very little change. The same way if like I said
to my friend, I go, I'm sorry, I know you
were rooting for Kamala Met's lost two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I feel you were they offended by that. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't think it's the same as when someone says, oh,
I get it. I have a dog and you're like,
I'm talking about my kid. You're talking about your dog. Well,
you know, depending on who you vote for, it could
affect the future of your kids. So people take it
way serious and way too heart. You see a lot
of cry baby antics in both. And I don't like
the sports fan that cries about it. I don't like
(06:49):
the political fan that cries about it because you got
to move forward. Your day today is supposed to move forward,
and you're supposed to hope for the best. Here's my
best sports and alloy I think if you want to
compare sports to politics his courtesy of mister Wonderful, he
basically just expressed the same thing I think and feel.
But he said it on CNN, and I'm saying it
(07:11):
to you on Fox Sports Radio. He goes, the Democrats
got to look at it this way. It's a win,
much like the Yankees lost. You go back to the
drawing board and you see where they were exposed and
what the problems were, and you hope to come back
and make those changes and you're stronger next year. Mister
Wonderful said, Yeah, Trump wins, but it's a win for
(07:35):
the Democrats for them to now regroup, figure out what
the American people didn't like, why they didn't get the
votes they thought they were going to get, make the changes,
make some adjustments, and come back stronger in four years.
And that's me that's very similar to a sports like
mentality of yeah, all right, there's some problems here, let's
(07:56):
fix them and come back.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
We'll get them next time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean there's a lot of analogy, I guess things
between sports and politics. Yeah, you're right, but sometimes a
kick to the nerds and a reality check is what
it takes for you to make those changes. Otherwise you
don't make those changes, you know what I mean, Like,
you're not forced to make any adjustments if you think
everything's great. I were reminded last night that not everybody
(08:20):
agrees with your policies and your ways of thinking, or
maybe it's just a slight adjustment here and there. Maybe
it's a person involved. That's for them to figure out,
much like the Yankees need to figure out the first
base situation.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
If an NFL team doesn't make the playoffs for the
third year in a row, then they have to start saying,
all right, well, because I think a lot of people
are saying, man, how did Trump win? You shouldn't think
of it that way. If you're a Democrat, you should
you should not be thinking, man, how did Trump win?
You should be thinking how did they lose?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And think of it.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
With sports, you don't say, man, how the Dodger win?
You got to look at where did we come up short?
If you're a Mets fan, a Guardians fan, Padres fan,
and I think taking a good look in the mirror
is how you get better at your job, sports, life, marriage.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And it applies to politics.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And I think you also see sometimes what would be
a great example other than maybe Robert Salad Danny g
hit me on, maybe like a Wade Phillips, give me
a coach that is a clear, coordinating genius, but maybe
not a head coach Josh McDaniels and Bingo.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Was his name. O.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Maybe Kamala Harris just isn't a president. You know, like you,
these are all sports analogies that aren't terribly off right.
You find out who you are, you make adjustments, and
I think at the end of the day, no matter
who you voted for, you really do have to just
root for the country.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Otherwise then you're just the a hole. That's what are
you rooting against us? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So you could hate Donald Trump, but well your mindset,
there's hypocrisy there. I don't want this to turn into
a political show or debate. There are similarities. Think of
it as a sports team. A lot of the criticism
about Trump and Trump supporters is that he's divisive, right,
and it's divisive, and he divided the country and he
(10:20):
provided a lot of hate speech that drove a wedge
through people. If you now are a cry baby about
the results, whether be your sports team or the election,
and you're like, wow, I'm not playing and I'm not supporting,
then you're then the one choosing to separate yourself, dividing
(10:43):
you with other people, creating the wedge you're doing exactly
what you accused him of in that sense. So yeah,
united we should be, and you got to move forward
and learn from the mistakes, back to the drawing board,
much like they do in sports. And they did that
on CNN immediately after. They started saying, well, where did
we misstep? Where did they go wrong? Was it this
(11:04):
part of the policy, was it this stance, with it,
this person, this move? You try to figure those things out,
much like you do in the NFL or any other
game you're playing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And if you're a.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Person, your team doesn't win, life goes on and you
root for the best teams out of it. Do you
not watch the Super Bowl? Do you not watch the
World Series? Of course that that's the mature approach, but
it does. You know, you got to give people grace
or couple days to states. So I didn't want to
talk about the Yankees the next day, and again it's
not as serious as politics, but I didn't, right, So
(11:35):
you got to give people a day or two, let
it simmer, and then hopefully let it process and hopefully
people get on board and just deal with it and
hope for the best, like you said, and there are
very there's a lot of similarities. Put it this way,
when it comes to sports and politics, it is fair
(11:55):
to compare, but respectfully, you have to almost preface it like.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh no, that's saying there the same. Well it is.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's like when you are I think the best analogy
is I said it before when you were talking about
your kids and one of your friends is like, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I got a dog, and you're like, I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
The proper way is like, I'm not saying they're the same,
but I do have a dog, and I like, you
have to at least to address that. There's a huge
different there's commonalities, but it's not the same. Right, So
there you go. That's it. That's all the politics. You'll
get what's up, Iowa, Samuel.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I just want to go back to the life goes
on discussion if you are someone who's kind of grasping,
grappling with the results from last night. I saw a
great meme about a month or two ago. A guy
sitting in the stands at Lambeau. The sun is shining.
He's holding his beer up to the sun, like cheers
to this great beautiful day. It was the same picture,
right next to each other, and he's like my life
(12:50):
under Kamala and the other picture says my life under Trump,
and it's just like it just cheer. Just the sun's
gonna come up every day, absolutely, and just you need
to just enjoy your life as you're missing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, was there any difference when you woke up today? No,
very windy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There's a bit of a leap where we have a
chance now to move forward. It's the wind of change,
and you could also look at it like a new
day to make the adjustments you need for four years
from now.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
There's a big fire by my house. I was like
rioted last night.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I mean I woke up the wind wind wind, damn Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Can you blame someone you on? Trump? Isn't fair to
compare sports?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
No, he won? I thought the other where do you go?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But you know what it's uh, it really is a
do you would you consider today a fun day or
a miserable day?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
To you know, peak on social media?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Consider it Wednesday? Like I was Sam good one? Did
you get that from Mia Sam's joke book? No?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I agree, It's it's just another day. It's a midwek major.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
But to make it seem like social media is not
a wild place today, that's another.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Come on, we're gonna have fun coming up later on
the show. Politician or NFL player.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Please, that's great. I love it. Congressman or middle infielder,
I love it. Honestly. Can we do that this week? Please?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's actually to answer Rich's question, is it fair to
compare sports and politics?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It is if you do it respectfully.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
If it is, if you preface it the right way,
and if you angle it the right way.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Send it. Not the Senate member or bullpen arm.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Do government worker or NFL player.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It doesn't even have There's five hundred and thirty five
people in Congress and that between the House and the Senate,
guaranteed there's names in there.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We would have no idea that. How about it down
you might know two names? All right, Well they have
it sports politics. Can you compare them? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I guess so right. You can compare anything you want.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Okay, Yeah, I'm just thinking if there's any other comparisons
we could make here other than to be expressed. No,
you see, Jerry Seinfeld said. He criticized the school system
in New York. He said, like, if you need to
take the day off, go ahead, come on, grow up. Well,
like we said, people process things different. You give him
(15:12):
a day or two and hopefully everybody just moves forward.
There's relief in that it was a crazy night. It
really was, and one of the things that happened to
me I found to be more interesting personally.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
As the votes were going up, right and I'm watching
the results, You're like, Wow, this is wild. Who's more impressive?
John King on the touchscreen or Hanson on red Zone?
I don't leave out my Steve Karnaki.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of Karnaki, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't know. Hanson does it every week, so.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, I like when he goes to the Witching Box.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, especially when the games get to the Witching Hour.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
They're all impressive, they really are. What's up, Dan Byers, I.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Don't forget Andrew Siciliano, even though he doesn't do it anymore.
He was the original truth. Don't feel Scott Hanson gets,
you know, a lot of the hype. But Andrew was
there first, and I feel like John King was there
before Kornacky came.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
You know what, and Dan Bayer, I back you up
because you know what, I've never met Hanson, but Ceciliano
is a friend of ours. Yeah, so you know what,
why would we not give him credit? Yes, I'm sure correct. Now,
while the votes are being tallied and they're going up,
I'm like, ah, man, this is cool.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'm just watching like everybody else, waiting and see what happens.
My daughter comes up to me and she says, Dad,
we have to start a fundraiser page for the cheer team.
And immediately I'm like, well, how long have you known
about this? She's like, I found out yesterday, but we
only have like two more days left to do it.
(16:46):
And then you thought again, when did you find out
about it? And then I was like, when did you
really find out? Did you wait last minute like Dad
did all the time. So I want you to start
thinking back, guys, way back on a Wednesday, when you
would go door to door just trying to earn that
literally jack you wanted. You were selling raffles, doing that
sort of thing. Because now today's challenge for a kid
(17:06):
most of the time is well, they got to set
up some sort of page, which she did on her own.
This is her little page. And what they were doing
was selling popcorn to raise money for the cheer team
for uniforms and travel. And competition and things like that.
It's a charter school high school here in Los Angeles,
but it's part of the LAUSD school system, but they
(17:27):
raised their own money for things like that. So she
did the due diligence of creating the page. And she
asked me, Dad, you know a lot of people. Can
you send it to your friends and family for me?
And I said, sure, you're a good kid. You do
good in school, you get good grades.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Bother me, but you're still a good kid overall. I'll
send it out. She comes running into the living room.
I'm watching the results. She comes running in and she's like, Dad, Dad,
people are buying a lot of it. She went from
like zero old place and she's skyrocketed with the bullet
the first place immediately thanks to the power of our
(18:07):
listening audience. And I just posted a little link on
our private listener page. Like there's like fan pages. Believe
it or not, we have fans. I know it's hard
to believe. I look at them more like friends and supporters.
So I just posted link, Hey, my daughter's selling popcorn.
And I made it very clear this isn't a gofund me.
(18:28):
But if you want some popcorn she's selling some Yeah, man,
people came through. The support was real. I was touched,
I was honored. But she went from last place to
first place, so crushing the dreams of the first place
girl in the matter of like twenty minutes. Here's the question,
seems unfair, but hey, man, I got some pull.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
What are you gonna do? Nobody?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Here's the question. Is that cheating? Is it cheating? Not
necessarily cheating? I gotta tell you, it was more exciting
for me personally than watching the election last night. Is
itch Wow, I'm like, I think he's winning by a lot.
If if you go to your workplace and dug in accountings, like, hey,
I want to busk some chocolate for my kids, you
(19:08):
know soccer team. Hey my daughter's doing dance camp. Can
you buy a gourmet popcorn out of a tin? When
when the responsibility gets thrown at the parent, does that
destroy the whole point of raising the money?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because this isn't it's like the hardest.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
The point or is the point raise as much money
as you possibly can? So again, and there's a difference
between go fund me because you're asking for a handout
or you're actually getting something overpriced, granted, but you're getting
something back like a T shirt or a chocolate bar
or some popcorn for that money, funding something for the kids,
(19:48):
all right.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, like her dad is Tony Danza.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I know you guys argued over this when the whole
Lissa Milano thing happened.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But that was the difference because she was looking for a.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Freebies right fundraiser to send. She's when a rich can
break the news to you. I'm on the radio. I
don't get anything rich in my life. Is this nerd
nick to my left? But yeah, I mean there's a
big difference between who's the boss money and.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Radio guy money. Wait, we do nicely, you know, we
live in our life.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know, I didn't start in a sitcom with Tony
Danz and also you know a two other sitcoms. Samantha,
you're begging for money, when when Samanda was begging for money.
When a rich celebrity is like, give money so my
kid could go on a trip, that's way different than hey,
you want to buy cookies from my kid's fundraiser, because
you're getting cookies essentially the girl Scout cookie model, right,
(20:38):
So based on that, and I'm seeing all the support
and I was very thankful and grateful and and as
you know, was my daughter. Do you feel you're taking
away their hustle by doing that sort of thing for them?
So we will take your feedback on that. Plus, of
course we dive in head first to the NFL getting
(21:01):
closer to Yeah, I know it's hard to believe.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Week ten.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Week ten of the NFL a great game that kicks
things off on Thursday, Cincinnati and Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So we'll do a little.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Peak at Week ten. Spot's got midweek major. We'll talk
about chasing money. And I have the perfect way to
get your mind off of politics if you're in a
bad mood or a good mood today, because today.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
This is a sensitive day, Rich, I feel it in
the air.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Today is a very special day, and I'm going to
explain why. And it has to do with one of

and speaking of kids, have a story about my pain
in the ass, I mean my kid, but h rich,
I thought of another similarity before we move on. You
started off the show with is it fair to compare
(23:24):
sports and politics?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, they're not the same. That's how you started.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Off, right, Well, it's not the same, but you know,
we make some changes, we regroup, and we get them
next year or four years from now. If you consistently lose,
you got to address big issues, right, Well, where did
we slip? Where did we mess up? So there's that
game plan strategy that is similar. But much like the
sadness I felt recently when the Yankees lost and life
went on And by the way, much like sports politics
(23:53):
similar in that parties looking for their next big young star. Yeah,
that's a similarity for sure. Who's that next? Who's the
franchise guy or girl? Who are we recruiting? Who's that guy? Well, anyway,
what upset me most about the Yankees? Right invested just
like you were last night. I was invested all year,
(24:14):
but I was upset that they didn't show up. Man,
they didn't show up. You have to look at it
this way. I think Kamala fought a pretty good fight
with her limited time. She did well, She did well
in the debates, and she showed up. Think of what
she was left with. It started off with Joe Biden.
She had to pick up from there. So that being said, yeah,
(24:37):
he won significantly, but she still showed up.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And I think there's a good feeling in that.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Like you make those comparisons too, so is it fair
to compare? It's not the same, but there's a lot
of similarities, a lot of parallels. Now, while this was
going on and the votes are coming in, my daughter
was part of this cheerleading fundraiser and she started at
the bottom and now she's here. She started at the
bottom because she hadn't opened up her little store, her
(25:06):
online store. Each kid had to open up an online
store to raise money. They're selling popcorn for the cheer team.
She came up to me dad, I started my page.
She wrote her little bio, added her little picture. Thanks
for the purchase. You think you could send it to
some friends and family. Now, if she wasn't a good kid,
(25:27):
I'd tell her to beat it. But she is a
good kid.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
At least she does.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You're a kid, No, I'll tell you what I mean.
She is a pain in my ass. She's a teenage girl,
so of course she's a pain of my ass. That's
sort of her job. But she does what she's supposed
to do. She gets good grades, she stays out of trouble.
And I'm like, you know what sure? And I posted
it on like just a well, we do a Patreon
Monday through Thursday, so I just posted it on like
a Patreon group page called the Carl Page. Before you
(25:54):
knew it, she was top of the ranks. She's in
first place. She has more sales than everybody. Fifty percent
of the profits go to the cheer team. But it
does post a question of are we taking away the
hustle that we developed as kids going door to door
trying to sell little legraffles by this little League sticker, yeah,
(26:15):
or fifty to fifties, or trying to sell a chocolate
bar for your basketball team. Are we taking away that
hustle from today's kid by doing the work for them?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I think no, because I let it be known to
her rich. You have to position these things right way.
I'm only doing this because you do your part. That's
the only reason Dad's helping you in this way, because
you do your part. Otherwise you'd have to go door
to door like that did and call up family members
and things like that. I think you have to establish
it that way. And I look at it this way.
(26:46):
My mom did so many book reports for me, so
many dioramas, and did it make me any less of
a guy? I have great work ethic, I don't think so.
As a parent helping a kid out, Yah, you do
everything you can to help your parent to help your
kid out. There is a layer where it's like, well,
(27:07):
the whole point is for her to learn responsibility and
do it.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
No, the whole point is for them to raise money.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I know, but I guess you would say the secondary
would be there you go to gain responsibility. But the
reality is, if your daughter had the insight to say,
you know, dad might feel to help, isn't that her
using her resources? I think, so I think, and you know,
now the kids are like, how does Melody know kids
from Wyoming? How does she know people from Texas and Minnesota.
(27:35):
It's like, well, because her dad's on a national radio platform,
that's why.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Cheater.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, but it's all relative to the size of your steeple.
She's only so cool as cool as she is until
Marriyo Lopez's kid is selling popcorn next, right, So the
question here Fox Sports Radio Nation is are you taking
their hustle away by doing these things for them?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
But I also want to differ.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Actually, the difference between a fundraiser like this when you're
buying something and and a GoFundMe when you're just asking
for money. Yeah, that's that's trashy. There's a big difference.
If you're just like, give me money, I wouldn't have
felt right about that. No. But if you're saying, hey,
my kid's selling chocolate or cookies for their school, yeah,
here's here's twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Or is that the same thing to you? No? No, No,
I don't think it is. I don't even think it's
in the same ballpark.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
No, it's you're you're buying an overpriced candy bar or
you're getting nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
So your thoughts, any thoughts from you? Sam?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Is it fair or did I cheat? Do you take
away a kid's drive and hustle? I'm telling you, I'm
looking back. My mom helped me with so many projects
growing up. Yeah, same right?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Like did she do the work for me a lot
of times? Probably? Did it make me a bad guy?
I don't think so. I always have this debate. In fact,
I could look back and appreciate, Hey, my mom helped
me out. I always have this internal debate. How about
when you had a type? I h I type myself.
You make a type? Yeah, because you worked at at
an office and had that equipment.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
What was that joined at my mom's office for getting
some homework done?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You guys, moms would type your book reports. I would
go there. My mom loved me.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Was the resources, you know, research, I was using my resources.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
My mom was my personal secred. I mean my mom
would type some stuff out. My mom could type very fast.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I mean typewriters back then too, electric typewriters. My mom
did her fair share of what do you call with
a shoe box? And you made like a scene, what's
the thing on the on the coat hanger? A mobile,
a mob a mobile mobile, bio mobile. My mom did
all that stuff, but typing, Wow, you guys got your
mom at a different level. Huhs resources. So she was
(29:45):
a great typer man. If the bigger question is taking
away your kids, If the bigger question is are you
taking away your kids? Hustle Right, It's like you always
talk about how who are the best fighters, the fighters
that are trying to find their way out of a
bad situation, right, like the it's the Julio Cesar Chavez
junior effect. He doesn't have the fight his dad had
(30:05):
because he was raised with a silver spoon. Yeah, he
was Ricky Schroeder. You got to ask yourself, Dany, like
Danny G you and Brenda love to take the kids.
I'm sure when you get the opportunity and have the
funds to go to like Disney. Now, if you buy
the VIP like park Hopper pass and you get to
cut all the lines, that's what you want to do
because you don't want to wait. But you're teaching your
kids the wrong lesson if they never have to wait
(30:28):
in lines.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
It's one of the hard parts of being a parent
because you want to teach them a good lesson patients kids,
but you also want things to be smoother and a
little easier for them than it was for you.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Age.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I don't want to wait two hours. I don't want
to wait two hours for splash Mountain. But guess what
is there a lesson in your kid waiting?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Or is that just no? It sucks no matter what?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
But looking back, there was a prideful feeling you had
when you sold a certain amount of raffles for Little
League or fifty to fifties or stickers, whatever it was,
and you got that Little Little League windbreaker that you
earned because you sold X amount. There was a sense
of pride you did learn. But again, I think it's
how you position these things. I told my kid, I
(31:12):
would not be sending those out to our listeners and
friends if you didn't.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Do your part.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's a good hypothetical. Let me let me ask you
guys one sports related question. With the way your mom
never covered your books as a kid. Yeah, with the
newspaper bags from with the supermarket backs. Yeah, so she
was doing It's not like they didn't do stuff for you, right, Ye,
my mom did a lot, but typing that was good.
I oh yeah, I didn't get in on that scam.
You should have, Danny. Let me ask you, because you've
attended a lot of games. I'm sure, Dan Byer, you're
(31:38):
a man of the You're a man about town. You've
been to plenty of stadiums and sporting events.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You know how.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
You may have bumped into one person in your life
that's like, oh, yeah, we were a Nielsen family.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And you're like, oh, you're one of the people that
rated shows. Have you ever met you were a Leslie
Nielsen family? Does that count? I love Naked Gun, please, squad,
I feel you. Yeah. I mean my whole family loved it.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Does anyone in the room he's talking about the ratings, Oh,
the Nielsen ratings. Has anyone ever met someone that actually
won the stadium.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Fifty to fifty?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Because sometimes you go to Dodger Stadium or big event,
it'll be like the fifty fifties up to four hundred
thousand dollars and you're like, you know, someone's walking away
with two hundred g's.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
At a Brewer game a year or two ago, a
friend of mine from high school's dad won.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, that's nice to know because I always think it's
just a scam. Yeah, like, how do you know if
they gave it away or not?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, so you get you a little print out you
I gotta take twenty bucks worth and you're like, man,
when did they even call these numbers?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Maybe I wanted anyone who I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
It was at a Brewer game.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
It was a regular season Brewer game, so it's not
NFL where there's eighty thousand. And it may have been
like a mid week so there may you know, maybe
twenty five thirty thousand there.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But the winner is Fred Molltor Like, this is rig
Man Paul's grandpappy one.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
This ain't even fair.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
So I just forgured I throw it out there because
every time I go to a state, I'm like, man,
some lucky person here. Imagine you go to the game
and you walk away with a few hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
That's awesome. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Well, hey, let's go to the guy who knows someone,
Dan Byer, what's up, DV.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
I always liked Fan Appreciation Day at the end of
the Major League Baseball season, where they would give fans
prizes throughout. Yeah, you know, like you could you could
have won a car if you went.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Hey, I got I got one last question, Dan Byer,
you're you're a dad. What's more important than these things?
The actual cause, which is to raise money, that's the
whole goal. Or to teach your boys or to teach
kid a lesson. It's like, I think the goal was
to raise money. The goal wasn't really to teach your
kid to lesson.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
I think it's to teach a lesson. It was very
difficult for me when I was younger to speak to
adults or to talk or to call up and say, hey,
I'm having a and my mom wanted me to do that.
So that's what I would have to do. I would
have to whether it be like selling booster buttons for
Little League, that's the thing that.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You would do.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
You would be and it was the easy sail in
the world.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
But it was the climbing of the wall of talking
to an adult or being uncomfortable or being able to
present what you are selling.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Glad he said that, you know why, I'm gonna take
some dB advice because it's a great point. Melody, Call
your grandma and ask her, Call whoever and ask Hyell,
call Rich and ask him. You know what I mean, like, yeah,
that's that's some great advice.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I do, I do.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
See both they're going to say, yes, it's more of
just learning that skill to be able.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
To do so.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
And now he's on the radio.
Speaker 6 (34:31):

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Now we talked first hot or if you missed it,
if you want to catch on the pod later. Is
it fair or not to compare sports and politics? Well,
we gave you all the parallels. There's a lot of
similarities in parallels and takeaways you get from your team
losing and the changes made and.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
A lot of parallels.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
But yeah, or is it more like when people say, oh,
you got kids, I got a dog. It's like I
don't know the same or not catch it on the
podcast before I missed it. Now before we get to
Juan Soto, before we get to week ten of the NFL,
I figured I break things up with a a fun story.
Now this would require I was Sam, you give your
(37:55):
grito on standby? I guess today is a National Nacho Day.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
You know the origin of nachos.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Because I mean, I don't know anyone that doesn't like nachos. Well,
I know, four nachos equal one tortilla. So for every
four nachos you eat, that's one tortilla fatty, So look at.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
It this way.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I'm gonna drop a fun fact about nachos. I do
have one pet peeve about nachos. If you go to
a sports bar and they don't tell you it's like
cheese whiz, I'm definitely upset. I'm expecting melted cheese.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Naz is better than the nacho cheese, and they can
it's more flavorful than that fake nacho cheese.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
I don't want like pump cheese. I want melted I
want melted cheese, like cheese that was felvita, grated and
then melted. There's places that do both. I have this
theory a wise man chooses nachos, and I've been on
a quest for thirty something years for the most megadope
chose in all the land.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Mago dope. It's a fun game. Now.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
If you wonder why is today Nacho Day, I don't know,
but I have the story in the origin of nachos,
and that alone is worth a quick little breakup, a
little uh, a little palate cleanse. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
cavinon Rich would you believe that nachos didn't exist until
nineteen forty three? I mean, pizza didn't exist until the fifties.
(39:33):
That is true, So I'm not that surprised, So we've
come a long way. That's why we went to war. Yeah,
over nachos, because there were no nachos. So when you
think about it, tortilla chips didn't exist until seventy years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
They did, we wouldn't have to fight the Germans, the
Germans and the Japanese.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Okay, here's the origin. The Germans first created in nineteen
forty three. Feel free for mariachi music, Sam if you want.
This is a great story because we got to give
credit to a guy that doesn't get any love when he.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Should, guy that changed our life. Actually he does, you
just don't realize it.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
In nineteen forty three, a guy by the name of
Ignazio Nacho, which is a nickname for Ignazio.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yeah, but not everybody knows that, so he does get
credit every time you order nachos. The guy's name was Nacho.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
When we worked at.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
ESPN, one of our buses Ignasio the Nacho. There's millions
of Ignacio's all over the world. Nacho is the nickname. Yeah,
so Ignasio anaya no it is. Nacho created the original
nachos in nineteen forty three. I feel like I'm at
a Mexican restaurant. Right now, here's the story. Good old
(40:49):
Ignasio was in the kitchen at a restaurant, the Mayer
d and one evening a group of army wives came.
Men had had the munchies right around closing time, and
Nacho was the only guy left, and he said, I
can think I can make you up something. He cut
(41:10):
tortillas into four, put cheese, jalapagnos and some toppings, melted
it served it to the women. The women said it
was the greatest little snack they've ever had. People from
all around came to have quote Nacho's special, It's Nacho
ordinary snack or something. So since nineteen forty three, this
(41:36):
guy has not got the credit he deserves.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
So today we say thank you. Or it's named after Nasio.
You just didn't know.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
He's a show notcho man.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Rich what's to be man?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
So happy nachoda and thank you Ignacio Nacho a naya
for nachos.
