here in Los Angeles wherever you are. Thanks for rocking
out with us. Now, Rich, you gotta tell us about
your flight and all your observations, and then maybe we'll
talk some Glaber Taurus.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, we got glaber.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
We're going to talk about gross gluttons in the NFL,
a lot of NFL today.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
We're gonna talk girly drinks. We're gonna talk the Jets.
I want to start with the Jets before I tell
you a little observation from my travels.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I gotta tell you the Jets, who we have been
very hard on, they stink. They stink, stink stunk. Aaron Rodgers,
the failed experiment DeVante.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Adams is like, why did I even do this? What's
going on?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
They stink worse than those pennies the gym teacher would
give you back in high school.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh it's field hockey week.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
No thanks, the funk of forty years man, people's bel
from nineteen sixty something.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
The Jets stink more. I'll do a call back to
yesterday show.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's stink more than that kid that would put his dirty,
sweaty T shirt in the same plastic bag for a
month during pe class.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Stink more than that freedo feeling that freedo smell you
get at a gym, like in a locker room, like
your dog's paws, or like a little kids jumpy jump
because all their little feats like Cheetos. Thanks so stink.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
The Jets stink, But I'll give the Jets credit for
one thing and one thing only. I want to thank
the Jets.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Stink like Pablo Sandoval after a hot yoga class.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
My goodness, stink. I gotta thank the Jets for one
thing and one thing only. They got in my head
last year during something we all watched Hard Knocks HBO.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, so after tonight show, I'm in New York City
for a day by myself before I meet up with you.
And some of the guys were doing a little weekend
guys trip. We're going to the Dolphins Raiders game, a
little South Beach hang. I'm in New York for forty
eight hours. No one's really available on a Wednesday night,
Like a lot of my friends like, yeah, dude, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Man.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I saw you like a couple of weeks ago when
you were in town for the Mets. Yeah, I can't tonight.
So I said, hmm, what could I do in New
York City By myself and not get in trouble.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I bought one ticket.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I'm gonna go see Back to the Future on Broadway
right after the show tonight.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Are you serious?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I bought one ticket, one ticket in the orchestra. You know,
it's like going to a sporting event. If you get
one tickets, that drops the prices. I'm sitting orchestra for
eighty buckeroos.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Dude, Wow, you know what that means for the rest
of the weekend, because I am meeting up with Rich
in Miami tomorrow. The rest of the weekend, I got
to hear about how great Doc Emmett Brown was, great Scott,
how fantastic Marty McFly was, and man, you should have
seen Biff. He was fantastic. But have you seen Biff
on Broadway? For all I know, it's gonna stink. I mean,

(04:55):
do you trust anything the Jets say at this point?
My goodness, George McFly, what fantastic sick. I'm gonna have
to hear Rich Rich's review for the rest of the weekend.
But you're right, in Hard Knocks, they all went to
see it as a team and they were sort of
blown away by it.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
So with that said Danny G.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I was Sam, if you were in New York City
by yourself and had no plans, is it a week
move or so.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Of cool to be like, yeah, I'm gonna go see
Back to the Future on Broadway?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well riches score is still a thing?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Or no scores?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Is that still a thing?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well?

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I mean I didn't. I'm not gonna tell you what
I'm gonna do after the Broadway. I'm just telling you
what I'm doing from like seven to nine.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Wow, Hey, now that's funny.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Man.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
You and I have talked in the past about going
to sporting events, concerts events by yourself, and I'm like,
you know what, seven to nine, seven thirty to nine
thirty probably a two hour show. Who doesn't love Back
to the Future?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Is not that? I think it's a boss move? I
really do. I think that's dope, because who doesn't love
that movie? I've heard great thing, Like we said on
Hard Knocks, the Jets were freaking out about how great
it was they went to see it as a team.
If you missed that episode, and my only I said,
I guess question would be I can't even watch a

(06:16):
Netflix series without running it by my girlfriend. It could
be anything. It could be Hulu's Aaron Hernandez story. I'll
watch it and my girlfriend will be like, why didn't
you ask me first? So don't you feel a little
weird going to see that without your wife? Who you
know would.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Want to do that?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Anytime I come to New York with my wife, ninety
percent of the time it's with my kids and the whole family,
and that just want to be the one I'd probably
end up going to see, like Lion King or something.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
All right, well, fair, it's just a fair question.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
But yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
It's a reminder if you're ever out of town for
work and listen, I'm not breaking the glass. I'm not
like some visionary I just want to throw it out
there because sometimes we forget you're in a random town
for a business trip and you're like, yeah, what am
I gonna do to that? I guess I'll scratch why
I asked in the hotel room and look at smut
on my phone.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
No, no, no, you could do other things.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
And I have decided to take the advice of the
worst team in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
In fact, I don't know why I'm taking their advice, because.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Rich is gonna be walking the streets they say, the
city lots of rajo all broad wait, broad wait, taking
in a crisp New York City air, looking at the lights,
feeling like you're going back to the future. You're gonna
be loving it rich, You're gonna be loving this show.
And then you know what, it is a real reminder

(07:33):
of how cheap life is when it's just you. Dude,
you You're like, oh man, paying for just me is great, Danny,
g I gotta ask.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
I mean, you got a step kids, you got a
little baby, you got a wife, ioa sam you ro solo?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Often do you realize that advantage? Caveno's right, Like when
I went to the Mets Dodgers playoff game at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I took my wife and my kids. As we pointed
out on the show, that was like a couple thousand
dollars day. I went to New York to the games
by myself. It was like a two hundred dollars day.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Dude, if you don't travel for work, paying for yourself,
just for yourself is like a lost art that you
probably haven't experienced in years. The only time I get
to experience that is like a work trip, and it's
a beautiful feeling. And it's also a reminder. You're like, oh,
even though things are a little more expensive now, lunch
is only like thirty bucks. I mean that sounds expensive,

(08:30):
but it really is. But if it's you and your
wife and your kids, it's like a one hundred and
thirty bucks. You know, it's like, Wow, I go liberating.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Chick fil A. Could you know? Chick fil A for
my wife and me and my two kids, Chick fil
A is like sixty bucks.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's what I mean. But you realize when you're by
yourself that you could have a nice time. You can
enjoy the play. But even a drink, even a little
dinner afterward, even a lap dance is not that expensive
when it's just you.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, when we keep our receipts from our business trips
like Seattle, I was adding him up and I'm like,
that's it because it was just me.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
But you're right.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
In Chipotle, Rich, we went there a couple of nights ago,
split a bowl my wife, he and I got one
for our teenager. Thirty nine bucks. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Hey, Rich,
do you buy back to the Future T shirt or something?
It could be one of those nerds.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I think I might be.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, listen, it would only be one person, even if
it's an overpriced forty dollars T shirt.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Guess what, I'm one guy today?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Hey, Rich, what happens if this replaces Hamilton for you?
Because Hamilton's your favorite?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I am Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Hear what happens? Like your whole identity changes. It could
change tonight.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Are you gonna wear your orange life vest?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Let me tell you, Yeah, I am about the navy.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Of all all the movies of our childhood.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Back to the Future's top five I would imagine for
any guy thirty five to fifty something, right, I mean,
if you don't put Back to the Future in your
top five, you must be on crack or something.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I would imagine that most people, this is for real,
real t. Most people listening to the Fox Sports radio
had no idea. It was a Broadway play and one
of the first times I heard about it was on
Hard Knocks. And the Jets are so weak. I'm not
saying they probably have a bad gauge of what's good
and what's not, but I'm wishing you a great time, Rich, So.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
There you have it.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I figured i'd bring it up because we heard about
it from the Jets. But like you just said, I
don't know how much you could trust the Jets, But
I don't remind me you thought they were going to
be good. There's no shame in your game if you're
out of town. Hey, let's say a business trip takes
you to Minnesota, go see the Tea Wolves by yourself.
Is there any shame in that? Hey, your conference is
over at six pm. You have a night in Minnesota solo.

(10:41):
Your options are sit in your hotel and do nothing,
or like, let me.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Get one solo ticket.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
There's something to be said about listen. I love hanging
around a lot of people. You know that you make
fun of me.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Just go to a park.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
You make fun of me constantly for being the guy
that's always having parties hanging out with people. Always need
to be around friends.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
There is a fun art to doing something solo, and
the business trip is a perfect opportunity. Oh way, dude,
I'm an Anaheim randomly.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
On a business trip. Let me go catch an Angels game.
There's always a way to do something cool.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't make fun of you for having parties and
make fun of you for having no chill whatsoever. That's it,
so have a great time. Keep us posted. Let us know.
Can't wait to hear the review on the Fox Sports
Radio program. No, seriously, I give you. I'll give you
one more reminder in life lesson based on Riches's story
right here. Yeah, you take a movie like Back to

(11:35):
the Future. Even the critics say that this is the
closest thing to a perfect movie. If there is such
a thing, is such a gauge of who is the
a hole in the room, who's the contrarian, who's the
guy you just can't be friends with? If you say
to so, hey, man, you like Back to the Future
and they say no, that's a great indicator that they

(11:58):
just suck.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, you're not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I mean, have you ever met somebody that said no,
I don't, not that I can think of, But I
can think of some people that probably don't like it.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
To me from you don't like Back to the Future,
you're probably the You're the problem.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Seriously, So anyway, we move on.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I just, uh, I thought of you guys, because I
know we joked about how the Jets raved about Back
to the Future, and as I thought, I.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Think the Fox Sports Radio Nation would have liked to
hear more about what you're doing after the play. But
that's a cool story, Rich, Well.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I mean again, solo act, who knows what I do?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
What if you get there and there's a stand.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
In, well, I mean that doesn't really matter to me
because it's not like it's Michael J.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Fox anyway. You know, it's like it's gonna be guy,
I don't know, you're a better guy.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
You can still relate that to sports. You go there
thinking that your favorite players playing or the superstar of
the team's playing, and they're not. It's always let go.
I I made that you don't need to know the
star to feel a little bit of disappointment. If there's
an understudy, he's like, oh this guy, better bring it.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
I remember being a little boy going to a Mets
game and be like, yeah, Keith Hernandez and I look
up at Chase Stadium scoreboard.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's like first base number five, Dave Maggot.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
In what Maggett? Better have a game? So, Rich, I
wish you a good cast and a good time.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Well, back to the future and then Rick's cabaret from
your past.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
There you go, you know.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
What, Hey sounds like a hell of a solo night
and you're ready. Tell Rick, I said, I'll get you
guys all the details tomorrow. All right, So a lot
of NFL today and Danny g I thought of you immediately.
I go to lax last night and I'm thinking of myself.
All right, let's try to make this painless. I hate

(13:45):
the overnight flight. I want to pass out on this fight.
So you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure
I'm sleeping, so I take the appropriate steps.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Sleepy time for me.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Stamp one.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
So I see at the Hudson news stand they had
uncrustables for two ninety nine Bronco.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yo. You might say that that's a ripoff, but for
airport prices, I almost felt like that was a steal.
I know that sounds ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's a little peanut butter and jelly, but I feel
like at the airport that would be ten dollars just
because it's the airport.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, that doesn't sound right. I imagine like a pack of
gum costs to ninety nine at the airport. So I
looked it up. Come on, Sangwich two ninety nine. That's
a wheel of a steal of a deal.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I mean at Walmart, at Target, at the supermarket, if
you buy a ten pack of uncrustables is ten dollars,
so they're a dollar each.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So I thought three bucks. I know it sounds ridiculous,
it didn't feel that bad.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Two ninety nine. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
One uncrustable at the Burbank Airport is eight ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Jeez, So Danny, I buy one, and I immediately think
of you in Cove because we joked about how the
Denver Broncos claimed to go through seven hundred uncrustables?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Was it a week or a month?

Speaker 5 (15:03):
What was it one week?

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Weekly?

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Yeah, so just and that was just the immediate players.
That wasn't counting the rest of the staff.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
So here I am at the airport. I house one
uncrustable in thirty seconds. I'm like, uh, not enough, I
go I go back and.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Get a second one. I house a second one.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
As I'm about to go back for the third one,
my wife happens. My wife happens to FaceTime me with
the kids to say good night. I'm like, all right, dad,
can't be a piece of crap slob, thank you for calling.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
You just stopped me for having my third uncrustable.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I hope they don't FaceTime you after the play tonight.
I'll either so so rich.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
We were debating whether or not the FSR staff, way
less than the total Lobroncos players could out eat them
in one week with uncrustables, Danny.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
This is why I bring it up, because after I
had a couple of crusts for the first time, maybe
in five years, last night. I'm not my family was
ever an ncrustable family. I've had them, but after having
up because.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
They didn't exist until I don't know, fifteen twenty years ago,
maybe tops.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
And I looked on their website. Think they got honey
and peanut butter ones. I got raspberry once I got
in the Tello ones Now so I looked up uncrustables,
and after eating two of them, I'm pretty certain if
I was not stopped, I could have easily threw down
ten of them.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Uncrustables were first developed in nineteen ninety five Smuckers and Crustables.
They're basically pbj's guys. If you don't know, if you're
the one guy that doesn't know, without the cross, their
shaped like little circles. Little kids love them. They must
have all sorts of preservatives because they last a long time. Well,
but nineteen ninety five they were created, So of course
he didn't have it.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
We were in high school. But our little brothers and
sisters we remember them having it, right, Yeah, of course.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
And if they had those lying around you definitely, you know,
Jack a few for your for your day, but you
had three last night one sitting.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
I was about to have three, and I realized I
could have had ten. And I found that meme again.
And it's not only the Broncos who put down seven
hundred uncrustables a week. You know, other teams are on
this list energy The Seahawks have three hundred and twenty.
The Jacksonville Jags average about three twenty, the Miami Dolphins
over three hundred. There's a lot of NFL teams that
are just going through uncrustables because the peanut butters got protein.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's a good snack. They are only a couple hundred calories.
NFL players are twenty year old kids, they're children that
are housing uncrustables.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah. Actually, I have a little bit of a correction.
Not sure what happened there won't happen again. They were
developed in ninety five. Which is what I said. But
Smuckers didn't buy them until nineteen ninety eight, so you
probably didn't really see them. They were developed in North
Dakota ninety five, but you probably didn't see them until
the late nineteen hundred and nineteen ninety eight, early two thousands.

(17:56):
Cod These guys totally grew up with them.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
That was my freshman year of college. So you're right,
I'm a little out of the window much like you. Yeah,
but our younger siblings love them. So I just there's
no real, no real question other than uncrustables. When you
hear those Denver Bronco numbers, it's not a joke because
I think any guy listening now, you and your officemates,

(18:20):
you and the guys on the work on the at
the mill, you and the guys at the factory, on
the construction site, at the doctor's office, and the.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
School wherever the hell you work. I could promise you your
staff could put down hundreds of uncrustables.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, I mean, you got to figure their NFL monsters, right,
big giant linemen. They're probably they look like little bites
to these guys, first of all, and they're burning calories
like crazy. So it doesn't matter how many they eat.
So you have to factor if it was your warehouse,
your factory, your company, your office, if there was no

(18:52):
consequences or ramifications of stuffing your fat face, how many
could you pound? Probably more than you think, Probably probably
in the hundreds. I bet not two, not three? Yeah,
not four, no five, Nope, not six? Yeah, not seven.
Lebron has seven at a sitting. So that's that's all

(19:12):
I gotta say.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
All I gotta say about on crustables is that stat
that we read a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
EJ.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Cone eats twenty at a time. Another one, another one. Seriously,
so give me the rest of those stats. Though. I
know you said you had other stats because the news
was seven hundred in one week from the Denver Broncos.
But then all of a sudden, other teams started talking about, well, yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
We eat them too.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
It seems like everybody eats them because they're they're easy
to get from craft services or I don't know how
that works, but it seems like everybody has those on
standby because they're easy to serve.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
The Broncos have doubled every other team, but there's a
hell of a lot of NFL teams that are putting
down a couple hundred at least a week between their players.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Whitweans.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
You know, you got fifty plus guys maybe practice squad dudes,
each guy having a couple of week. Cardinals, Steelers, Giants, Falcons.
There's teams when they're doing their craft service inventory. Uncrustables
are all the rage among twenty something year old grown
men that are beasts.

Speaker 7 (20:12):
What about gogert, gun, crustles and gogert is that those
just go together.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
They're very mobile. The Giants are the league leaders of gushers. Sam,
I don't know if you saw yeah gusher. Yeah they
go fruit by the foot.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
I hear that the Titans have more fruit by the
foot than anyone.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
The four hundred packs of gushers a day, which is crazy.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
So hey, happy eating, enjoy no real lesson other than
I was right, you were right, We're all right. That
number seems fair because I bet you you could do
it at your office.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
The end.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Thank you. So Rich Davis is in New York Adventures.
I feel like I'm exhausted now after hearing all his
travels and tickets and sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know, you know why I was exhausted. Two rows
ahead of me.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
I had the blow your nose guy, So anytime I
felt like I was fall asleep, he did like the
honking blow.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know, was like, ah, I'm like, really, du.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Come on, do you have a handkerchief? He might, you know,
did he find it up and put it back in
his pocket?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Anyway, Hey, Riches in New York, and when we said
we're gonna talk labor Torres, I didn't actually mean glabor Torus.
This's what he's doing on social media. We'll get to
that midweek major and more. All your phone calls and
feedback next, hit us up at Kobino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio. Let's talk about what's going on here.
I definitely want to hear from you too, Danny G

(21:30):
because you're the resident Lakers fan. But we already heard
he's going through the G League and that he's only
traveling here and there.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, no, here's here's the let me give you the lowdown.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, Ronnie James won't play in G League road games
at all, and his Lakers' experience is already getting weird.
According to SB Nation, Bronnie's G League assignment is coming
with what they're saying is undeserved star treatment he's getting
like Roger Clemons don't have to travel with the team
when he's forty, treatment.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Which rubs my butt the wrong way. And I'm not
even on the team right, So when I hear things
like that, I'm like, well, why would he even accept
that sort of treatment if he wants to be accepted
as as your favorite eighties movie, just one of the guys.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Well, you know what, let's hear Brian Winhurst talk about this.
He had thoughts.

Speaker 8 (22:24):
Take a listen, I'm going to apply the brakes on
my everything's fine on the brownie front with this thing
that's now happening, which is that from my understanding, he's
only going to play in the South Bay Lakers home games,
that he's only going to kind of be a part
time G League player and he's not. He's not getting

(22:44):
on United airlines and going to fly and go see
these these other teams, the others. He's playing this road
games now because honestly, like I know, he was getting
so much bestial treatment and nepotism. That's fine, Honestly, I
don't I don't care. Like I said, it's normal now
I think it's actually detrimental to him. I don't like that.

(23:04):
I don't know whose idea it was. Obviously the Lakers
are fine with it, they're doing it. I've now on
this particular instance, I think that's gone too far, and
I don't think that benefits Bronni. I don't think it
benefits the South Bay Lakers, and I don't think it
benefits lebron at that point.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Could there be anybody under the moon that doesn't agree
with that? You know, you already have this moniker of
Nepo baby, but then you lean into it with special treatment.
I find it odd that Bronni would, even, like I said,
accept that sort of thing to not want to travel
commercial or take flights with his teammates. I understand that
he could do something different, but to actually have these

(23:45):
demands is odd to me, and I think it's just
going to rub the league the wrong way, and he's
going to be a even more of a target as
a result, making it harder for him to develop, because
everybody's gonna want to beat this guy if they haven't already.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Everyone has their own blueprint to success. Some people grind
in the minor leagues for ten years before they get
their shot. Some people get called up and they're eighteen
and boom, now you have it. Some guys are first rounders.
Some guys are on practice squads for years and then
they finally find their way to the league for you know,
four or five years and hope to get their pension.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Right.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Everyone's got a different path. But when you're not flying commercial,
when you're not hanging with the team, when there's a
layer of oh, it's Lebron's kid, he's too good, he's
not We think he's gonna sit in row twenty seven
F on this commercial Continental Airlines the continentally United Airlines flight.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Dude, I think he just went back in time. You
know what I'll give you, Scott. Take it to JW
and you see someone getting special treatment, it's gonna bother somebody,
right again, everybody has their own path, like you said,
so we get that, but take it back to the weakest,

(25:00):
meaningless levels of your life. If you ever played sports
as a kid, did you ever play sports on a team, soccer, football,
whatever it was? And then there was one kid that
only showed up to the games, and it was because
he was in some travel league and he was really good,
and he didn't practice with the rest of the team.
I remember that when I was a kid, and when
I was a little kid, I'm like, f this kid,

(25:22):
he thinks he's better than me. He's never a practice,
he doesn't come to practice. He only comes to these
games once in a while because he's so good. He
wasn't that good to be getting that treatment. And that
was from a little kid's perspective. Do you imagine how
these dudes who want that opportunity feel when this dude
doesn't want to travel with them. I'm not saying that

(25:43):
he's not special. I'm not saying because he is Lebron's kid.
That's the truth, and they're not. But he has to
be conscious of the fact that he's rubbing people the
wrong way.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
You made a great point, Cono, which one. I'm trying
to make it relatable.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
But I actually did have that one kid, and I
remember going to the coach and my parents like, how
come he doesn't have to practice? No, I mean, he's
a special boy. I'm like, what, I'm not get out
of here with this guy.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
I mean, are you a special He's a special boy
like you are, Steven, just in a different way.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
And I was like, what this team.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Every adult everyone listen, everyone's got their own path.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
But what you described, I love your example because even
for adults to play rec league sports.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
I know you hate my softball analogies, but there are guys.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
But there are guys that are good athletes that they'll
show up once in a while and they're like, oh,
he's bat and third playing shortstop, and it's like, hey,
we're all a bunch of grown men.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
This guy. So this guy shows up when he.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Wants and everyone's kissing his ass, don't.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's almost a little eye rolly.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
And I think Bronni's way too young if I were him,
and I'm not, but if I was, I would have
to wear with all to say, look, I get it,
lebron is the goat. He's my dad, but I don't
want that special treatment because it just puts a your
target on my back. He needs to be a man
and step up and say, look, he's already getting some breaks,
but this is this is a break too far.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
It would be better off.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
He'd be better off on a different team's G league squad, honestly,
so he could develop away from his dad. We all
knew this was orchestrated from the beginning. It was a
cool moment when he took the court with his dad
and all that. But again, the Lakers spent seven point
nine million dollars on his contract. Let that sink in
for a second four years or almost eight million dollars guarantee,

(27:31):
and how about this bully guarantee.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
He sort of is a traveling circus because when he played,
they were selling out so well.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
That that's the only thing that helps his teammates there
on the on the home floor for the G League.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
He traveled with them, he was selling out.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
But as much as his behavior is going to alienate teammates,
I think the only upside for them is you have
more eyes on you and your performance that people are there.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
In the performance world star athlete, even in our world
radio host, TV host, podcast or whatever it is. The
goal is you never want to seem elitist. You know,
there's no better compliment than oh, he's like one of
the guys, And Bronnie is not like one of the guys.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
If he's not flying commercial. It's almost like imagine if Comino,
imagine if you said doll.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
I mean he doesn't show up to the company Christmas
party because he's too cool.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Imagine if you went to a theme park with your
kid and their friends and it's like, oh, one of
the friends, Oh, they don't wait in line, so their
dad came and there they got the par copper. You'd
be like, but all the kids are they're they're hanging
like right, Like listen, what was the big criticism of
what was the big criticism of russ when he was

(28:45):
making his way in Denver?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Remember the hole he had his office. We've talked about this, like.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
You're not doing a good job of being one of
the guys. And right now the Lakers sit at six
and four, right in the middle of the pack. Now,
if the Lakers were, you know, ten and one and
tearing it up, then man Lebronsoa deserves it because it's like, yo,
take care of my son.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Look what I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
But when you're like middle of the pack, it's like
I said, it's like when the Hawt girls looks fade.
You put up with a little less. The Lakers are good,
they're not take care of my son good.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Then when are exceptions? Okay, I'll rocket Roger Clemens and
things like that.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I don't know when you're when you have the most,
say young's out of anyone, and people are just lucky
to have you.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
No, I agree with you, but I'm saying there are
exceptions to the rule. Is he the exception? So think
about that. Fox Sports Radio Nation and hit us up
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. What you know
about Carne? Fox Sports Radio? Hey, Rich, good for you

(29:47):
living life in New York. You deserve it.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Good for you.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Take yourself around of sausage. You deserve it. It's my favorite.
We all a fortunate out take. Treat yourself yourself a
round of sausage. Does anyone know the reference? I just
found out today, but apparently it's viral and everywhere. Treat
yourself a round of sausage.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, the puzzle on Wheel Fortune was clearly think. I
was like three letters away.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
It was give yourself a round of applause, and he's like,
I look to solve treat yourself around sausage.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
A round of sausage. Here you go. I gave you
a round a plus for a stupid answer. All right,
that's a viral clip today.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
Secret answer better?

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh it was. It was a great answer. If you're
a fatso thinking about sausage anyway, Cavino and Rich Fox
Sports Radio, Danny G's on the phones at eight seven
seven ninety nine, Oh Fox Iowa. Sam is here playing
some what is that filter? Crystal method? And Spot getting
ready for midweek Major? Think about Bronnie.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Rich, Yes, I'm thinking about it right now.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Are you thinking about Bronnie your sausage? Do you think
about it? That's thinking about Brownie.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
I'm thinking about something that early.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
We joked about Spot getting ready for midweek Manager, and
we joked about him I doing squad thrusts.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I I saw a stat that I want to throw
by you.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
It has it has to do with testing your fitness,
and I'll get to it right after we get our
Bronnie calls. Just remind me it's it, it's it's I
want to see where you think you're at fitness.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
I don't want to be unfair to the kid because
he is Lebron's son and maybe he has earned in
some weird ways, some different sort of treatment. But we
have to keep in mind this it's a team game.
That's what it is also.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Going to be.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
He's also going to be treated differently than other G
leaguers in public and stuff like that, right.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
And he brings more value there. There is a different
caliber of attention that he warrants and he gets because
of who he is.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
And he had a crazy good comeback story almost dying
on the court exactly.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
So like I'm not trying to say see anything away
from him or be unfair, but it is the story today.
So I will say almost that it is a team game,
and when you're playing with the team, you have to
be respectful of the other teammates. If he was a
fighter rich or you know, he was playing a solo
game like that tennis or something, Yeah, it's then.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
Whatever, But this is a team game, spotty. If your
dad was Larry Bird, you'd get preferential treatment.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
That is true.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
True, your dad is Larry Bird.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I never knew that, did you, Papa? Yes? Dad? All right,
let's go to the phones. Who do we got, Danny
g Let's start with Bill in South Dakota. Hey, Bill,
Bronnie James not traveling with the team. What do you think?

Speaker 9 (32:29):
Well, I think that maybe the Lakers don't really want
to see him much on the road, or they've already
made their decision on him.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I just think he's too much of a side show
and again traveling commercial. I know that sounds ridiculous because
none of most of us have only flown that way,
including myself. But Bronnie James is not sitting, like I
said in Row thirty one, b middle seat, like it
just that's not the life he lives. And he's too
popular to sit with an unknown G League player, And

(32:58):
so you got to understand that part of it. But
you're creating distance between the other teammates when you get
that treatment.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, when it's a game of chemistry, I feel like
that interferes if you're he's not a fighter or something.
All right, who else do we got?

Speaker 5 (33:12):
Steve in Ohio?

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Hey, Steve, make it snappy? What's up, hey man?

Speaker 6 (33:17):
Maybe Brownie, it's not that he's too good for the
rest of the team.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Maybe I have something to do with security. Like when
he's on airplane, they need special guards and bodyguards and
things like that for him to walk through the airport.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Hey, that's super fair. But then why doesn't somebody like
just come out and say that because we're not the
only one.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
I think the Lakers could afford to spend on that
if they needed to. They're given the kid eight million bucks.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
True. Yeah, guys.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
It's like one of my pet peeves when people say
dumb things like, you know, Taylor Swift her private jet
emissions and this, and I'm like, yeah, we get that,
But you think Taylor Swift should fly like Jet Blue flight.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Whatever you're on.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
I know, no, absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
That would be chaos. It would be hectic. So there
are except but is it a distraction? Is Lebron good enough?
And does this Lakers seem good enough to roll out
the red carper for Brownie? Two quick things I saw
on social media while.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I was doing the doing the scroll.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
I know it's generational, and you know time's moving fast
and you might feel like you're twenty, but you're like
you might be thirty, forty, fifty sixty. You know, times changing,
and we're realizing our kids are learning different things in school.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
This guy buys tickets to see Back to the Future
tonight on Broadway, and all of a sudden he's all
about time travel and time flying. Great Scott marn thinks
he's an expert now or something.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Let me tell you about the Libyans.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Let me tell you about the flux capacitor. So I
saw a clip from the forty nine ers locker room.
You know me, big Niners guy. I want to defend them,
but I can't. They have Deebo, Samuel, Ricky Piersoll and
a bunch of these young dudes on the team and
they're telling them right, San Francisco, forty nine ers write

(35:02):
the word football incursive in script and none of them
know how to do it well.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
And F is a little tricky, but I know how
to do it. Capital F is a little trick.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
The capital F is a little tricky, right, almost like
a tea in a way, right.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
Yeah, Rich, this is not surprising at all. Did you
hear that some of the states had problems at the
polls because the youngsters, like the ones that had just
turned eighteen and that age area, needed to sign in
cursive after they voted, and they couldn't do it, so
they needed assistance. They just don't teach cursive writing in
school anymore. Capital F is a little sailboat, it does,

(35:40):
you know? I haven't written one in a while.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Interestingly enough, that was like such a thing that maybe
you didn't. I feel like I took pride in making
sure my penmanship was on point, and now it's like
you know, kids type and you get a times change,
but the same way youngsters might not know how to
tell time on a clock with hands because everything is digital.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Don't be shocked.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
If your niece, your nephew, your neighbor who's a high
school kid or a college kid, if they don't know
how to write in script cursive, don't be shocked.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
It's just generational. It's like Mike who runs his place.
He's so old. He writes in calligraphy with a feather pen,
so like he probably looks the way we write and
thinks we suck.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, he sent us the Tiraq commercials in hieroglyphics.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Exactly, so he writes he does that by candlelight. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, so Mike so old. It's just generational.
What's up, Dan?

Speaker 10 (36:28):
Yeah, I just want to say, you guys definitely don't
suck in Mike's eyes, because I got a text from him.
You guys are in his profile picture on his phone.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yes it is.

Speaker 10 (36:40):
It is Dard Cavino and Rich with the Fox Sports
radio graphic in the background. Yeah, like, no, no Spotty,
no Danny, nos Iowa, Sam or Me, no Debbie his wife,
but Cavino, Mike.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
And Rich, even my girlfriend doesn't have me on her phone.
That's great. That's a test. Honest, I might need to
delete my kids and put my back on you know,
I think we all should.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Now.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I didn't know that. Mike's great. Wow. So back to
the story though, Rich, I don't want to get two
off track, Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
So I just thought that was interesting because, you.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Know, and I didn't know what camera you were peering in,
and I didn't know if it was the forty nine
or shower cam that you were watching.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
No, it was locker room footage and they were just
doing those you know, they'll ask the player's funny questions.
And it just struck me that I wonder if the
Fox Sports Radio Nation realizes these kids are they're they're that,
they're kids.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
They're twenty three, twenty two, twenty four. They never learned cursive.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
No, that's it. Schools mostly stopped it in the year
twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Which is true, but it's also what you apply yourself to. Like,
I have a fifteen year old daughter. Guess what she
could write in cursive? Because I guess that was more
important to her. Some people are like, for what and
they don't care? Right, So anyway.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
I mean you really did bring up a good point though, Danny,
what is the future of the signature? Oh yeah, what
is the future of this like symbol?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah? Like is it just you just print your name?
Prince was the future?

Speaker 6 (38:07):
I mean kids just write out their name, you know,
like right, that's their signature.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
Like there's no cursive for them.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
So my signature is just like a very fast scribbling
version of my iPads all the time now for paying
for stuff, and you can never get your the right
like you know lines in there.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I was clue. I have an interesting thought.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Who will be the first young superstar in sports whose
memorabilia has an odd signature because they don't have a signature,
Like what if it was one of these young stars,
like they don't have a signature. Sports memorabilia is based
off of signature.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
I got a good story coming up for you in midweek.
Major about this? Oh yeah, stick around, stick around. There's
a team all right, Well, teaking of young players. Ronnie
James is all the buzz now. I'm trying to wrap
my head around.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Why it's such a big story today, because it was
announced a few days ago that he was only going
to play home games in the G League, and I'm
thinking that it became more of a headline today and
correct me if I'm wrong, because the story or there
was speculation that it was due to him not wanting
to take commercial travel with the rest of the team.

(39:20):
Is that the difference, because didn't we hear this like
two three days ago?

Speaker 6 (39:24):
Yeah, this was a few days back. But people weren't
sure about the details of this story.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah, And that seems to be part of it, Like
whoever got that juice out of it is what makes
it sound bad because when I first heard about it,
it didn't rub my butt the way it's rubbing it today,
Like I'm like, all right, you know, he's only going
to play the home games but still be around whatever.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
It didn't bother me. No.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
No. If he was like, yeah, Bronnie, don't do middle seat,
can you deal with that?

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (39:49):
It's just the yo, Bronnie, don't do middle I mean,
I'm sure they're flying, Like if my first class here's
a question spot. Yeah, I had a friend pose this
question to me. One of my buddies. His credit card rewards,
oh got him a first class upgrade, but not his
wife and kids.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (40:08):
I was like this close when we went to Seattle
for graduate hotels to getting an upgrade to first class,
and I would have said to the three of you
buffoon's later, I'll be enjoying my free breakfast and cock
files in first class.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
We expect that from you, because thanks, you're in a hole.
But Bronnie James, O, but COO. If Bronnie James is
sitting first class, you know, patting his head with a
towel like he's a you know, Robbie hard in the
wedding singer and the rest of the teams back with
Julia Gulli and coach, is that a bad luck?

Speaker 2 (40:38):
There's two ways to look at it. Man, Like we said, Nick,
who do you think you're better than us? Is a
team game. But the truth is the kid's been famous
since he was a kid, since he was a baby.
The other guys have not well, and we like they
are the same. Is also not true in Cove. We
still don't have all the details. Yeah, wind Tours came
out and said something, but we don't know if this

(40:59):
is Ronnie's doing or if this is from the Lakers
and these are his marching orders from the team. That's
why I'm trying to figure out, even from my standpoint,
like why are we all mad about this today when
they said this like a few days.

Speaker 7 (41:11):
But he has the he would have the option to say,
I want to fly with everybody else.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
I want to be with everybody else, all right, So
your feedback, your thoughts eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
And remember we got midweek major this hour. The stories
in sports and pop culture are they midwek or major?
Who do we got? Danny g I love wait?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
I mean, I can't wait.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
Let's go to Cincy.

Speaker 6 (41:33):
Justin Hey, justin signature Urchy, Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 11 (41:36):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Man?

Speaker 4 (41:39):
So I got to just put it like this. Bronnie's
a big deal, no doubt. All right, But there was
another guy that was a big deal. Maybe all heard
of a Michael Jordan, right, you know, he decided he
wanted to go play Triple A baseball and learn a
kind of thing and try to get you know, his
true passion out there and you know, play some base

(42:00):
He rides a bus six six, riding a bus for hours,
going to different places with the whole team, trying to
fit in with everybody.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, we're all on the same train track of thought
because that's exactly what I was thinking before too. I'm like, yo,
Michael Jordan wasn't too good for that weak ass baseball team.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
He played like he did pimp out their equipment, but yeah,
he was still willing to be one of the guys.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah, I say, his way to contribute.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I remember, Yeah, Jordan just made sure and I heard
some great things about Max Scherzer. When there are certain
baseball players, when they do a rehab assignment, they buy
every one of the teams for lame Mignon's. They bring
iPods and not iPods like new iPads and new uh you.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Know, like new pilots. Is that true?

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Anybody the Nokia flipfallsberries? No, but you know, like Max
shars A, I did, I read. I read an article
about him among other veterans. So listen, veterans can make
that move. Bronni's in a unique scenario, because how often
is that everybody moven twenty two year old, the guy in.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
This position, Okay, how often, and again we're breaking it
down from all angles, how often is it the goat's son?
He's not, yeah, but he is in some ways an exception.
So yeah, it does look bad. But I'm trying to
trying to get you to look at the other side too.

(43:22):
Not everybody's Lebron's son, that is true. And and we
don't know he's not asking for this. Like Danny G said,
we don't have all the details. Let's go back to
the phone. Who do we got, Danny g Mitch and Jersey, Hey,
Mitch Gota gool, Yeah, got gool.

Speaker 9 (43:41):
Have Brian play with the varsity team. He could be good.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
You never know.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Please be sick, guys in the bench nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
come on whyd in the set week.

Speaker 9 (43:51):
He's such a big deal.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
It was there love the Cliffers didn't have the the
you know what to drift and.

Speaker 9 (43:57):
Now the other teams. Let him play, let him get
experienced with it with the Lakers.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
You know, it's that fine balance for any parent rich
to wanna again help your kid have an easier path,
but also let them fight for themselves for the life
lessons that are involved there. You know it's Lebron James
also has to feel like a little weird about it too,
because it's tough. It's tough for anybody like you don't
want your kid to get favoritism because you want him

(44:24):
to earn things, but at the same time you want
them to have a better road than you had. So
it's an interesting store. I feel like he's developing Jaden
Smith syndrome. Oh no, I won't say that he's just
starting a weak ass karate Tel Like I get the
same vibe. Don't you get that same.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Vibe that there is something.

Speaker 7 (44:44):
Like I picture Bronny being like you know how on
Key and Peel where they portrayed what Jaden Smith was like,
like he had no grasp on reality. That's how I
picture Bronni James.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Yeah, spot, you're right, do something oddly like they're cut
from a similar cloth.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
You know.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
I wanted to bring up an analogy, can you that
I think could put a little bow on this conversation.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
He's not an annoying guy though, rich he doesn't seem
like an annoying kid.

Speaker 6 (45:04):
No, And when you see Starting five on Netflix, he
seems like a really nice kid.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I really think he's a likable kid. But I get
where you're coming from as far as treatments concerned.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
Sometimes like it's not you, sometimes it's your scenario and
you know your Lebron's son, like you know, there's plenty
of great that comes along with that. There'll be some negative, right,
like getting down in your heart on a kid who's
a pretty good kid. I think a lot of times
when special treatments, there no one cares if you deliver.

(45:34):
I made the dumb analogy before.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Like, so when the Hawk Chicks looks fade, you want
to put up with less crap because it's like, oh, well,
you know when you were you know when you're twelve, you're.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Willing to put up with a lot for a hot
piece of booty. Now look at I'm gonna name three people.
I'm gonna show you the response of society and the
public and the sports public based on their performance. We
turned and a lot of people want it to turn
a blind eye to the potential piece of trash. To
Shaun Watson is but when he started stinking, it was like,

(46:06):
well he stinks on the field, then I'm not defending him.
F that guy, Aaron Aaron Rodgers really high maintenance dude.
But if the Jets were seven and two right now,
everyone will be okay with Aaron Rodgers. You know, when
Aaron Rodgers appears to be a paint of the button,
high maintenance when they're a terrible team and the opposite.

(46:30):
To prove the point, Travis Kelcey starts aiding Taylor Swift.
It could be argued as the greatest distraction the league
has ever seen.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
But what happened? Can we know?

Speaker 3 (46:40):
They won a Super Bowl? He's playing great. They're nine
to zero, like we put up with stuff.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
If people deliver, Oh that is true, absolutely right. If
Brownie James delivered, we would have a lot to say
about it. Hey, maybe this works for him in the future.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Even I said before, if the Lakers instead of six
and four, were you know, nine and one, or they
were you know, let's say after twenty games, they were
sixteen and four, and it's like, man, the Lakers are
lighting it up.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Who would care about what they're doing with Bronnie James.
They're just not good enough to be playing this little
game here, all right?

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Back to the phone calls, dannyj Let's talk to Miguel
in Oregon on a Miguel, what up?

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (47:26):
Yeah, so you know, hearing about this, it's not surprising.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
But at the same time, I wouldn't say it is.
But you know, starting back when he was doing his workouts.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Rich Paul said to everybody, you know, he's not going
to work out for any team that's going to give
him a two way deal.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
And those only teams that he worked out for were
Phoenix and for the Lakers.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
And that's because I believe in speculation. Of course, they
knew what he was and they knew that.

Speaker 6 (47:51):
He should have stayed in the league longer.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
And so it doesn't surprise me that they're trying.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
To he's going to get that treatment because he's Lebron's son.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
But yeah, and he's a superstar by default, whether he
earned it or not. And we're talking professional sports. Newsflash,
all superstars get special treatment. And if there's someone important
in the company that you work for, I bet you
their son who works who also works for a company
gets some special treatment.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
It's not that far off from the reality we all
live in. It just rubs people the wrong way.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
People don't like to talk about nepotism and other industries
like hey, I handed over the dental office to my kid,
or oh the law firm is now my son's or
daughters like that, that's nepotism.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Or how about Billy Madison when he took over that company.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
I do. That's the best example.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
Hey, Rich, I have good hearing. Is that New York
sirens behind you?

Speaker 1 (48:43):
It is New York sirens behind me?

Speaker 3 (48:45):
This I'm on the thirty seventh floor, Danny G. I'm
on the thirty seventh floor of a New York City
high rise in Times Square, and still you can hear sirens.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
I heard that as well. Back to the phones. Two
more phone calls on.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Hold on, take you guys, Hold on second, stop breaking
a law.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
So again, Bronnie James is not traveling with the G
League team only home games. But I think why it's
getting so so much speculation today is because of a
travel commercial travel.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Yeah, all right, now that's that's that's the ambulance for yeas.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
All right, let's talk to Daniel in Florida.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Daniel, my brother.

Speaker 9 (49:25):
What's up, hey, guys, Thanks for having me on. I
really think that it's it's a mistake on the organization's part,
because you know, you need that that travel time, you
need to get into the swing of you know, playing
games on short rest or whatnot, and he needs it.
It's pretty clear that he's not, you know, skill wise,
he's not at par yet and I just feel like
taking away that away element from is doing him at disservice.

(49:48):
So I feel like he's not going to be able
to get the full experience because he's Lebron's son or whatnot,
and and they're kind of sheltering him from the reality
of the NBA.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, Battle battle test, he is not.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
He's not going to go through the ringer at all,
and that usually doesn't help people.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
What else do we got?

Speaker 6 (50:06):
And last, but not least, he claims his name is
Patrick in Kansas City, Patrick, KC.

Speaker 9 (50:12):
What up? Hey, Oh my god, it's the Patrick.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
This is a PM from k C.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Yeah, what a buddy.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
You know about the name, it, image and likeness, right, yes.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
Yeah, I hit putting a little skit on over there.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yeah every uh every tiesday and it's better than this.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Man.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I'm sorry, buddy, I'm sorry. Patrick. Won't happen again. Thank
you by thanks for to call man. Appreciate you so
your thoughts broke broke broke, Patrick brous Patrick, if you
want to leave your feedback because and again we just
gave you several ways to look at it. If you
want to chime in and hit us at Covino and

(50:58):
rich at Foxs Radio.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Now, before we get.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
To spots Midweek Major, I want to throw something out there,
because you know, we're a show talks about sports, life, lifestyle, fitness, entertainment.
The Mayo Clinic put out of study and depending on
your age, Depending on your age, they tell you how

(51:23):
many push ups you should be able to do as
a man. And listen, we live in a country that's
maybe not the most physically fit. But I'm going to
give you the age of thirty five, forty five, and
fifty five. They go by ten year increments for some reason,
I'll give you. I'll give you twenty five, just to
get give you the base. They say at twenty five

(51:45):
years old, to call yourself fit, you should be able
to do twenty eight push ups.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
In a row. Is that what we're talking here?

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Okay, over a two hour over the course of a week.
Did I do about fifty push ups at night?

Speaker 5 (52:01):
Right?

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Or what?

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Every night? But I don't do them all at once.
I break them up and like, I don't know, I
do like twenty then like during commercial breaks, yeah, commercial
breaks when I'm watching Shark Tank.

Speaker 7 (52:12):
So yeah, didn you used to do them every time?
Aaron Judge hit a home run, which is why I
got a little chubby in the off season.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yeah, and the off season that game a lot of way.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
Kid.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
So thirty five years old, thirty five years old, Yeah,
you should be able to do.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Twenty one push ups?

Speaker 3 (52:27):
I got I can do now if you're forty five,
which I'm closer to forty five.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
They're saying the magic number is sixteen.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
I got it.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
And if you're fifty five, you should be able to
do twelve push ups.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Well, I could do twenty eight and I'm not twenty
five years old in a row, in a row without
a doubt? Are these I got a question. There's a lot,
and I don't look like ravishing rick rude on the juice.
There's a lot of variations to a push up. There's
arm distance, angle. Are you going chess to the floor?
That's true, you know. Yeah, my girlfriend corrected my forms

(53:05):
trying to push up. Highly insulted by it.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
Yeah. These have to be in good form.

Speaker 7 (53:09):
Yeah, these have to be like perfect form, So I
can I'm good for about five.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Hold on, where did she correct your form in the
better room or where.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
No doing push ups?

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Oh? Okay, so think about that and just that's your
way to assess yourself. But might it might remind you
that you need to go back to the gym.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Thirty five you should be able to do twenty one
push ups, forty five sixteen push ups, and if you're
in your mid fifties, you should be able to do
twelve solid push ups.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
It's time.

Speaker 11 (53:41):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week.
We're in mid Week Major.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
I love that we.

Speaker 11 (53:48):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas,
and it's like the kids.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 11 (53:56):
We definitely padre see in our score Midweek Major.

Speaker 6 (54:03):
We're gonna go quick here because I want to give
Spotty nine minutes.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
No, yes, yes, man, I would have prepared better. You
hear the horns. That means you one story.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
You have made it to the middle of the week
before we hand things over to the Number one and
only hosted a segment. We usually roll a big red
love dice, but Rich is in New York City, so
Covino's in the home studio Cove.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
I'm gonna have you call heads or tails.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Here heads I win, tails, Rich loses.

Speaker 6 (54:28):
I have Ben Mallor's famous penny call it tails.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
It is tails.

Speaker 6 (54:34):
Oh that means Cove gets to have the first take, and.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
I'm rolling my eyes like Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 6 (54:42):
Ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person from Scotch Plains,
New Jersey besides Judy Bloom Spotty boy, Hi.

Speaker 7 (54:49):
Guys, treat yourself around a sausage, all right, Rich you
kind of alluded to it, but we're all excited for
this Friday's fight.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Obviously, Jack paulwait Tyson? Who can wait?

Speaker 7 (54:59):
Tyson himself calling it the what is it? The biggest
fight in the history of the universe Universe all time? Well,
Jake isn't taking any chances when it comes to his ears.
As part of his fight day style, Paul secured a
new watch valued at seven million dollars and alongside two

(55:19):
diamond crusted ear covers valued at one hundred thousand dollars each.
Of course, with the amount of money that he's receiving
for these fights, I'm sure it's.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Just a drop in the bucket for him. So midweek
er major, Okay, hold on, let me get this string. Yes,
but he bought himself a seven.

Speaker 7 (55:35):
Million, seven million dollar watch, and who knows if they're
actually like buying these or.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
If they're giving them, I don't know, two diamond crusted
ear covers. So they're like, you know, have you seen
the ear covers.

Speaker 7 (55:44):
They're like they're almost like elf covers, Like they go
over the cap of the ear.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
It's not the whole ear, just the tip of the ear.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Here.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Look, I think that's great that the top of the ear. Yeah,
I think it's great. Like, this is entertainment, this is showbiz.
This is selling a fight. You know, he's a bit
of a clown, but he's doing all the right things
as far as getting people's attention and doing it big.
He's started poking fun at Mike Tyson. Whatever gets this

(56:11):
dude to get out there and find his fighting guts.
We want to see the old Tyson. If he can
get under Tyson's skin, we reap all the benefits. I
think he's great.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Yep, I agree with you, Major, Major, because we're already
intrigued by this fight.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
The only thing that might be lacking is a.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Little bit of animosity, because you know that Jake Paul
and Tyson sort of respect each other, and sometimes it's
a little too like tickle fight, Like, hey.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Good with that, Jake Paul.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
I like you.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
I want them to hate each other a little more,
and I want Jake Paul to poke him as the
fight gets closer.

Speaker 7 (56:45):
Yeah, all right, Well over to Tyson, who, in a
recent interview in Interview magazine with fellow New Yorker Rosie
Perez kind of has spoke about his inspiration behind the fight.
Spoke about his usage of toad venom, which we've heard
in the past. How he, you know, smokes toad venom,
and he went on to say that his fight with

(57:07):
Jake Paul will affect culture. This is beyond him saying
it's going to be the fight in the history of
the world. It will affect culture, and it's gonna make
the uh And it's about making the biggest impact before
you die. He revealed that while smoking toad venom, this
is what gets interesting, he spoke to God and God
was the one that told him that he had to

(57:28):
fight Jake Paul. Also went on to say that he
doesn't care about his legacy. Legacy just sounds like ego,
who cares about what people think about you when you're dead.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
So I feel like he's just he spoke to God.
He's ready for this, you know.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Nature.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Mike Tyson might be one of the most ferocious guys
of our lifetime. Yes, but he talked that Dith, I
wonder what God sounds like, Like, would it be a
big surprise? He was like, I need you to fight
Jake Paul. He's like, okay, God, I didn't expect you
to found like that. I think that's gonna make Mirchael.

(58:02):
Why'd you make me down like this? God, I need
to know. Don't worry Michael, just fight him. Wow. I
think it's a cool story, man. I think that it
is gonna be I don't know culturally impactful, but as
far as people getting together, I mean, by the millions
to watch this. You know how the Philippines traffic stopped,

(58:23):
there's no one on the road. Everyone would gather anytime
poky Ol fought like no one was out. Everybody was
watching to fight. In a way, everybody's gonna be watching
this fight because he transits generations and the intrigue alone.
You don't need to be a sports fan. Granny's gonna
come out of her bedroom just to watch with you.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
As as I said to.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
You, Coch, I mean it's on Netflix. Who doesn't have Netflix?
If you don't like, you're stealing your friends passport or something.
Everyone's got Netflix or.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
You know, so yeah, so the servers could handle it.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
It's gonna be highly viewed. And uh, you know what,
I think it is interesting and.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
It's almost intriguing to me when higher thinkers like Aaron
Rodgers and Mike Tyson are you know smoking you know
frog venom and you know iyahuasca and all these things
like makes you wander at some point in your life,
will you want to do that stuff?

Speaker 9 (59:14):
No?

Speaker 7 (59:14):
By the way, look up how they extract the toad venom.
It's quite interesting. He went into very graphic detail about it.

Speaker 5 (59:20):
All right.

Speaker 7 (59:20):
Anyway, Uh onto the next there's a new Queen of
Christmas and his name is Jason Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
This is great.

Speaker 7 (59:28):
Kelsey's new Christmas song Maybe This Christmas was also features
music legend Stevie Nicks of fleetmand Mac is currently charting
higher than Mariah Carres. All I Want for Christmas is
You Congratulations, which has dominated the charts pretty much for
the last thirty years when it came out. There's course
still time in the season for the song to take
its rifle place on the charts. But Kelsey on the
New Heights podcast really enjoying his moment to shine. So

(59:51):
maybe This Christmas appears as part of a Philly Special
Christmas album which goes to the Children's Christman Treatment Children's
Crisis Treatment Cent in Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Midweek or major. I think we got three in a row,
three majors in a row to beat Mariah Carrie, the
Queen of Christmas Temporary. I don't care if it's the
weakest song ever, you still did it. And we often
talk on the Covino and Rich Show how hard it
is to break the Christmas code, right, I mean, people
put out Christmas music all the time, so for them

(01:00:21):
to actually make impact with their song just goes to
show their popularity. And if you'rekno going Mariah carry off,
I'm all for it. She's annoying, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
She is going to be angry when she's thought out
as the as the memes go, when we're ready for oh,
is she thought out?

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:00:35):
They show you know how there's a chart that spikes
every year. The song spikes every year. It's currently on
the upward spike.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
So she's thought, oh boy, Well, anytime a diva gets
knocked down a peg, it's kind of fun. So great, Yeah,
I think it's.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Major too, COVID. I think we're dealing with a lot
of great stories.

Speaker 7 (01:00:51):
This week's fun all right, great, Well, I mentioned earlier
we were talking about signatures and cursive, so Fanatics has
come up come under a lot of scrutiny this season.
Of course at the start of the season with their
crappy uniforms that were see through in very lightweight, which
everyone hated. Well, the final nail in the coffin has
been hit as Fanatics has released the twenty twenty four

(01:01:11):
Dodgers World Series T shirts, which feature design on the
back of the trophy and all the signatures.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
Of the team, well, at least it was supposed to be.

Speaker 7 (01:01:20):
It turns out it was the signature of the twenty
twenty three Texas Rangers, and in the upper right corner
you can see, speaking of signatures, it's like the most
basic cursive of a role as Chapman's signature. So it's
like it's clear that it's not Most of the signatures
are very nondescript, but it's so clear that it's none
of the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
So I went to the website just to double check.

Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
It seems like they've updated the design, so I don't
know if this was a glitch. I don't know if
this was a mistake, but it seems to be rectified.
But yes, people were posting their shirts online that they
got the wrong signatures on the back.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Of their shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Maybe come in. I think this major. I think is
weak that this happened. But what's major about it is
it's still World Series. How does something like that even
get through? Like, isn't there a guy and inspector of
fifty three that looks the names? It's like due Chapman
man on the Dodgers. This is incorrect. Back to the
drawing board, spot everyone. You know what the problem is here?

(01:02:15):
This is major again. I'll tell you why.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
This is a phrase attention to detail, whether it's a statue,
a monument, like you said, a T shirt. How are
we just letting these things slip by?

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Like remember like old school newspapers, there were proofreaders and editors, Like,
is no one catching these things?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
I don't understand that. Yeah, I'm with you, that's what
Stat's why it's major to me. I just don't even
get that. All right, woman to squeeze in one more?

Speaker 7 (01:02:40):
Yeah, if you can just do all right, Tom Brady
always a major story. Hopefully we live up to the hype,
letting some of his humanity shine through admitting that he's
made mistakes as a parent. During a twenty twenty four
Fortune Global form in NYC, he was asked about motivating
his own kids given his success, huge amount of success,
and he said, all the parents of the room know,
being a parent is probably the hardest job of all.

(01:03:02):
We screw up a lot, and I've screwed up a
lot as a parent. I don't want to seem like
some sort of expert, because I certainly am not. So
he went on to just say that he supports his
kids and whatever endeavors they do, and admits that being
tom Brady's son, for his sons is definitely a difficult thing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
It sucks to be tom Brady's son. Midweek or major.
It's a mid story, but it's major of him, yes,
to acknowledge that. You know, I think I think it's
well said. I agree. Can you imagine Tom Brady's your dad?

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Well, I think also not easy being tom Brady's kid,
but I think it's it's major in that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Listen, even if.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
You're Tom Brady, parenting is the hardest thing, Like just
the minute you think you got one of your kids
or your kids figured out, like oh oh I'll do this.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
You know, they change a game, you know, like they
mix it up. So being a parent not easy.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
So it's nice to know even the goat on the
field is not the goat parent.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Thanks guys, thank you, Spotty boy M.
