Mike Tyson was on the show.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
If you missed it Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page for
the entire interview. It's a lot of fun. So so
I'm getting emotional thinking about the time you spent with
Iron Mike on Iron, Mic very emotional told Brett Farvre's
story takes me back to my childhood. I'll explain because
what happened between Brett Farvre and Mark Gastineau.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I think is relatable to a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think we've all been on that receiving side of
that awkwardness, and you see it with Brett Farv. It
was a really odd and awkward but real moment. If
you don't know what we're talking about. There's a new
documentary New thirty for thirty. I was gonna say docuseries,
but it's a documentary thirty for thirty ESPN.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It comes out on Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The New York Sack Exchange, Mark Gasteau was the single
season leader with twenty two and then Brett Favre took
a fall for Michael Strahan to break the record with
twenty two and a half. Now this haunted guests to
know forever. Did to stop them, prevent them from making
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
We don't know. So he confronts Brett Farv.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You hooked up with the girl ones that had that
nickname right New York Sack Exchange?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Did I?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't know, So I'll see myself, how can I?
So I'm still trying to figure it out. So it
might be the greatest joke I ever heard. It'll hit later,
It'll hit me later. So Brett Farv is there and
(03:30):
Gastono approaches him, and far is like, hey, now, first off,
he has his hand out. Hey, it's mort Gastano, and
Gastano leaves him hanging. The audio is great, but just
to know that I have to describe the power of radio,
I just want to visually describe how Farv, in a
(03:52):
friendly way, comes towards Gastono with the handout for the handshake,
immediately realizes this interaction is not positive, pulls back the
hand and then the more Gaston starts acting weird spot
you pointed this out. Far starts back back till like
he's Homer Simpson going into the bushes. You read the
(04:12):
body language there's he's clearly like because he's in shock. Yeah,
he's confused. I think he's I think he's a freed
Not well, I think just more concerned, like what's doing
until he is until one of his people saves the
situation by saying like, oh, sorry, Brett, we got to
go do this signing or whatever and get out of here.
Take a listen to the interaction. It's awkward as hell.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
That a long time ago. At least I saw you
right how you doing when you fell down for him.
I'm going to get my sack back. I want to
get my sack back. Dude, you probably would hurt me. Well,
I don't care. You hurt me. You hurt me. You
hear me, Yeah, I hear you really hurt me. You
(04:56):
hurt me, Brett.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
We got to get back to this, Bred.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm sorry so awkward man, and we're not ones to
defend Brett farre but he seemed real genuine in his approach,
you know, like, Hey, I'm Brett Fara, I'm just here
for a kind interaction and.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Man, awkward as hell, what's up? Sam?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Their interaction reminded me of like a scene late in
the film Fatal Attraction where Glenn Close like comes back
and confronts Michael Douglas, especially the yeah you fell down
for him, didn't you you?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
It's like it's very strange, very awkward. It's like very
personal and like he doesn't know what's going on. But
it's like a scene out of Fatal Attraction. It's like
Glenn Close is Mark Gast.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But it's always.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Weird when you meet someone or you have an interaction
with someone and that holds this grudge against you and
you were unaware of it. I listen, I think we
could all admit we've been there. I've been there where
I said to someone like, hey bro, and I got
hit with a yo.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm not your bro, I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
How you doing when you fell down for him?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
When you fell down for him? Can you fail down?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I've seen these interactions and they're always cringey.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It makes me think of a really cringey moment. And
I was a child, so you know, when you're a kid,
everything's more magnified, right, You remember all these weird moments.
We had moved out of the neighborhood. I was about
fourteen years old. You would have thought I was like five,
right the way I described it, But I was like fourteen.
I was a little kid emotionally, I was probably like seven.
(06:27):
Your mama's still pushing you around in the stroller, Yeah,
I still. I was wearing Mickey Mouse ears, still on
the teeth, Yeah, I was wearing gosh oh yeah, definitely
still taking a bath from the sink. Big Mama's boy. Right,
But I was a teenager, that's the truth. But I
feel like I was really young. But we moved out
of the neighborhood and We're just driving down the old
(06:52):
street and my dad pulls to the side because we
see our old neighbors. We see the old neighbors, and
my dad gets out of the car. Very Brett Farvre like, hey, neighbor,
guy gas too. His name was Bill, Hey Bill. And
I'm watching this interaction because I'm like, my dad was
(07:13):
just going out and I hear my dad say never
got a chance to say goodbye, man, I just wanted
to say, hey, has a right And this guy stares
at my dad like Gastineau stares at Farv and he's like, hey, man,
get out of my face.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
My Dad's like, hey, whoa, what's going on? Was cook
you new? He's like you know what you did?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
My dad like, hey, I just can't say he was.
He's like, you sold to undesirables.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
He fell down for him.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Basically, he said some racist craziness.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I'm watching as a kid, like yo, what And
my dad like, oh wait so and my dad backed
out just the way Farv did in that situation. He said,
is your dad saw the old neighbor politely trying to
be like hey man, haven't seen you? Straight up, like
like you get away f you get away from me.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You sold out and you did this X, Y and Z.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And my dad was like what, like had no clue
what he was even talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And as a kid, I'm like, yo, man, I was wild.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And I was hurt for my dad, and I thought
the whole situation was odd because I'm like, I thought
that it was a nice neighbor of ours and he's met.
Sounds like we're not friends anymore. Sounds like Bill was racist.
You know, this is like you have a problem with
your mom too, probably, yeah, right, so exactly this is
coming from a half breed Mexican kid. So I'm watching
this like, man, that's wild. And my dad felt really
(08:34):
bad the same way. Far probably was like damn, was
not expecting that. So my dad just, you know, backpedal
back into the cars, like get out, let's.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I have that guy when you when you don't get
the reaction you think you're gonna get, it leaves you
feel in some type of way.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, man, it's a weird situation.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I remember you and I were in Vegas once with
a group of friends mixed company meaning guys knew each
other from work, personal friends. Oh that's my buddy from home,
like just a mixed group of people. Not everyone knew
each other that well. Jokes were flying, drinks were being had,
and I remember one of our buds told the joke a.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Little off color.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Everyone started laughing, and our other friend grabbed the guy
by the collar and he was like, yo, I don't
know you that way. Yeah, And I was like, Wow,
awkward burgers there are. I think we've all witnessed a
quote Gastona situation. But there's an update there is. And again,
this clip has gone so viral that Brett Favre had
(09:32):
to give us some some feedback on what's to come
and how he felt about this interaction. He said, Hey, Mary, no,
he said, he said, Hi, Mary, uh. I want to
clear the air on the footage release showing a little
dust up between myself and Mark Gastineau, the former New
York Jet back in O two when Michael Strahan sacked
(09:55):
me at the end of the game that we had
wrapped up. I was in no way trying to hurt
Mark Gastineau. I was trying to close out a game
and squeeze the last bit of fun out of a
hard fought game. I booted out of a run, thinking
it would be wide open, But then I saw a
Strayhan standing there and I ducked down. The game was over.
(10:15):
There was no need for me to do anything spectacular.
It probably wasn't Michael's best sack or tackle either. In
a different gamer situation, I would have made a bigger
effort to avoid the sack. But at no point was
I thinking about hurting Mark Gastineau. Yeah, but maybe it
did hurt Wait, maybe it did cross my mind that
(10:37):
I was helping Strayhand, but I really didn't think it through.
It wasn't my forte at the time. I just wanted
to have fun and compete. In retrospect, I understand how
Gastono feels. We played a brutal game. Gastono played during
an era where guys didn't make generational wealth. I see
how now, being the sack King would have elevated his
value at a card show, strengthening his case the Hall
(11:00):
of Fame, increasing his demands as a speaker. And as
I said to you off the area yesterday, rich Hey,
when stray Hand became the leader, he was the guy.
Any other kid coming up who was interested in stats
and football, they don't know Gas to know because Strayhand
was the sack leader, like Gas, You know, dude, who
remembers the second place guy?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Nobody.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I didn't really know much about Mark Gastino either, like
just his playing style.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
But if you knew he was the single season sack leader,
you'd at least maybe Noah's name.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Well, I went and watched like his highlights from the
nineteen eighty four season. He was a beast. This guy
looked like a Hall of Famer. But how long was
his success state sustained? You know, That's what I want
to know. It was a smaller window. He was a doe.
You watch this guy. He was beast. He was a
piece savage.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And then, as we discussed yesterday, he had a reputation
of being selfish because his sole focus was going after
the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
But then there's a flip side to the argument, where well,
maybe he was a pioneer because he was sort of
a pass rushing specialist before it was even really a thing, Right,
So he had this stigma about him. Oh, he's a
selfish player, and I get all that. There's two ways
to look at a lot of this story, which makes
it really interesting because there's a lot of people saying, dude,
get over it. I do think there was people's first reaction. Yeah,
(12:13):
but I do feel like it's an odd resentment. Now, however,
Farv goes on to say in a statement, I realize
now the potential financial implications because football is far more
business oriented than when me or Mark played. So when
you think about it, SPA, can you a quick check
of Mark Gastono's salary, because he's he got up. I
(12:35):
could promise you nobody wasn't getting Nick Bosa money. I'm
sure he wasn't getting Christian Jones money. But you know,
he was very popular pop culture wise and on the
East Coast where and grew up.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
By the way, he played for ten seasons he had
his career. That's a long career. He had a total
of one hundred and seven and a half sacks. Six
of his ten seasons he had seven or more sacks.
One of those seasons, of course, twenty two in nineteen
eighty four. He also had twenty sacks in nineteen eighty one,
and he.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Was dating Hollywood women he was dating. Wasn't he dating
like Brigitte Nielsen at one point? Or am I making
that up? Known as the Gastono deal. He signed a
three point seven one million dollar contract in nineteen eighty four,
which average to about eight hundred thousand dollars a year,
which back THENDS a lot, but not a lot when
you think about what a lot back then.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, But if that's making eight hundred thousand dollars a.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Year, if that record stood longer, maybe involved in more conversation.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
It stood for eighty four to two thousand and one,
or why to say, why did Farv say oh two?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Whatever?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
It was a one oh two? He did say O two.
But it stood for a generation. Essentially, it stood for
sixteen years, seventeen years?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
What it was? Well, far On to say that he
belongs in Kenton.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Wow, that's really big of a guy who gets a
lot of bad press. To be honest, I mean, I
mean deservingly. So I'm not defending far I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
By the way, can I defend far for a second?
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Sure, a guy who took vicious, violent sacks over his
entire career crumples into a ball to give the record
to Michael Strahan and we're gonna like dump on Farv
that guy. No quarterback has been more abused by defensive
lineman than Brett Farv.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Yeah, but as Buyer pointed out on yesterday's show, a
tight end was blocking.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Sure, but your average NFL plays six seconds guys, you know, yeah,
that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
This was gifted. Okay, it's what's about Farv's playing career.
It's more about his time off the field. That's why
it gets a hard one.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
But Brett Fav took the most vicious, violent sacks and
ones that led probably to his Parkinson's diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Swindling charities and all that ruining people's lives.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah, I think that they said that they'd make a
donation to the gas to no fun, they'd get it
from the Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Hey, they both both of those guys put their bodies
in jeopardy and their health and jeopardy for the game
of football. So I see where Farv respects it. But
it's going to be an awkward thirty for thirty to watch.
It premieres on Friday. That's the update, your thoughts, your feedback,
everything at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio or
(15:15):
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
We want to call and say what's up. You know,
I I thought about it a little more.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But I do stick with my original feeling, which was like, yo,
get over it, dude.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But again, he doesn't. He doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
He didn't make the equivalent or even with inflation, nothing
close to NFL money now back then. Yeah, don't get
me wrong. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is great, But
he was an elite guy. Guys now do you see, well,
like guys like I said, Bosa and Chris Jones and
you know JJ Watt towards the end of his career,
like these guys were making legit. Dude, If he was
(15:52):
doing it now, he definitely have like a cool, a
cool sort of contract with some sort of hair product.
I'm sure he had a sweet eighties mullet.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He would have his own mullet product.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
You're doing kidding, But I do feel little sympathy for
him the more you hear about it, and his health
is shepardized too. I think he has some sort of
dementia or something going on. Yeah, you know, you watch
a documentary that comes out on Friday, and we'll reassess
on Monday and see how we feel about how they
package this New York sack exchange. It is interesting, and
(16:25):
he did date Brasghee Nielsen. I'm looking at all his pictures.
Look at him, man, Like the dude was a for
guys like Sam who were a little younger, Like he
was one of those Hollywood, big name superstar NFL dudes.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
In twenty sixteen, he was diagnosed with dementia, Parkinson's disease
in Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Okay, so factor all of that in the guy who
played his butt off, as he puts it, for the NFL,
maybe he does deserve more consideration.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You can see how that haunts him.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It does seem odd to us, as we established yesterday,
but that's all he knows.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And that's what he lived for. Think.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think one of the callers yesterday sort of shed
some light on a perspective that changed my mind a
little bit, which was taken to a different sport. If
some guy had tied the Maggio's fifty six game hitting shriek,
and the picture on the other team was like, here's
an eighty mile an hour flat fastball about it, like.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
We'd all be like, oh, that's cheap, exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And that's why I guess the NFL should have did
something about it. It just feels like It's a really
interesting story because hold on, when did straighthand break the record?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Four?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, it was a one? Wasn't it one? Or the
first confusion? Okay? So his record would have stood until
TJ Want.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Did what Jared with Jared Allen? Did he break the record?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Here?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Was that twenty twenty two?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Jared still would went on a good little more years
or so so and again then you would probably have
heard the name. It would have been a statue you
would have been aware of. He's still the single season
sack leader, but he didn't have that. So it's an
interesting story. There's lots of ways to look at it,
for sure, and I think we covered most of it,
(18:11):
but he get the update.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Can I flip it real quick or just ask what if,
like somehow the NFL in that moment did intervene and
they didn't call it a sack? Would we be saying
that Michael Strahan was.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
The one was robbed? Should he be the sacks sack? Right?
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Like?
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Oh No, that was a sack. That was a textbook
definition sack, even though it was week.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
What if we go back?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Kavino recently brought up the movie Mister three thousand with
Bernie Bernie Williams with Bernie Mack. Bernie Williams not in
that movie, No, but I think he should be in
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Bernie Mack.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
What if they went back to the tape and tried
to find a way where like, well, there's a half
a sack he could have been given. Well there's another
half a sack in eighty seven you could have been
if they what if they missed her three thousand the
opposite and all of a sudden, like hey, come to
find out cast had twenty three sacks.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That would be cool. I bet you there's something there.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So many times was.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Like, there's a group sack we need, there's ten thousand,
we need to find three sacks right now, please find
the form.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
We tell you.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Though there are a fan of group, there are sacks
on the beach, there are definitely times where there's a
there's a group tackle and someone's getting the credit full
or half a sack.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
What if you went back and really examined it and
they made a case like no, that game against the
Steelers in eighty six gas he was robbed half a sack.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Like that would be a hilarious layer of this.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
I was just looking at Iowa Sam Sex on the beach.
Just to top Spots, I have a group sacks. It
had nothing to do with anything, but Iowa Sam had
to get his pun in first group sacks it meant
nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
An did you ever watch us Sacks in the city
or nothing? Pretty good videos?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
The play one loot, They deserve over, they deserve each other.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Me Dan and Spot would just go back and forth
like a pun.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Here's the thing is is Spots was fitting it said
group sacks, but yours was SATs on the beach.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
My jokes never have anything to do anything. Sam would
be like.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Sam would be like, you know what great song of
is let's talk about sax Baby on a serious note.
It's only it's only skin deep on my joke. Okay,
you like, I feel like I can't had a problem the
voice of reason here. When you hear Brett Farre's update
and statement about this clip that went viral, do you
(20:35):
feel that to be genuine or he needs some good
pr so he's going to say the nice thing here.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I feel I feel that it is genuine. So the
funny thing about it is I haven't heard anybody really
stick up for gastone and in fact, former players have
taken the opportunity to pile on Gaston and in the
documentary even as former players don't want to say on
what a self player he was. So that's the interesting
(21:02):
turn from it is there aren't a lot of people
lining up being like, yeah, Mark, we got your back.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
They're not denying though, how great he was.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
They're saying he was, you know, they're saying he was
one of the best athletes they played with. He was great,
but he was a jerk, a selfish jerk.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Basically.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Now, let's go to dug in Vermont Real quick and
then we'll break come back with a little midweek major.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
What's up, Dougie, doug.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Hey, Wow, thanks, well take my call. I've been listening
to you guys for a long time.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Thanks man, Thanks buddy.
Speaker 9 (21:30):
Hey, yeah, just to pipe in on a little bit
on this. I'm sixty, so that'll give you. I was
watching that game with my family and friends, and I'll
tell you what it looked like. As soon as Brett
Barb took that took that hike, he was looking for
straight hand to and he started hugging him as soon
as he as soon as he could as soon as
(21:50):
he got clear and straight hand didn't even know that
he was going to come hugg him like that. But
I mean, you've got to watch that game and Brett
Farre's recollection. It's like a PR move, is right, because
he that wasn't anywhere close to what happened, is what
Brett was talking about. You really have to go back
(22:11):
and watch that game and you would clearly see that
you know, that shot shouldn't have counted.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm glad, Doug, Doug, thank you again for the call,
Doug from Vermont.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Appreciate you calling and listening.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I'm glad he brought us back to that moment though,
because I do remember thinking and just banter amongst my
friends and all that stuff, like, you know, it was
kind of weak, right?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Was that was weak? Did he?
Speaker 2 (22:34):

I love that we.

Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like the kids.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
We definitely see it our scoring Midweek Major. I gotta
go quick here because I want to give Spotty a
whole eight minutes wow before we over. The only host
of the segment and the number one host we like
to roll the two Big Red Love dice at the
main studio to see who gets the first take.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I just rolled the six rich Roll Rickroll. He got
eleven man and ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
The most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Points
New Jersey, Spotty boy, where shall I start?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
With aliens?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
By the way, that joke will get old until Judy
Blooms people reach out for self?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Who's Christian spotty herself?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
All right, aliens, You guys are gonna love this. You
talk about aliens constantly, we do constantly. Well, with all
the recent alien sightings in the news, the UAPs whatever
flying around New Jersey, we may have a way to
contact them, and that's through none other than Aaron Rodgers.
He revealed the Jets can be revealed during his pat
back of the appearance this week that he plans to
(26:05):
have a Friday night pay Attention to this five E
experience okay, which means it's a meditation circle followed by
calling in the aliens using little green laser pointers and
then they summon the aliens and then they talk to.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Them eight fall with big eyes.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
So if you recall on last season's Hard Docks, he
talked about having an alien sighting back in two thousand
and five, So are key to speaking to aliens?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Aaron Rodgers maybe carome Major. I think this is major.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Guy can't play five hundred football anymore, but he's contacting aliens.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Aaron Rodgers has a career after football.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
He is gonna lea He's gonna lean into, you know,
like his relationship with RFK and Rogan and back and
all the stuff he does. I think we're gonna see
Aaron Rodgers even more after football.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think this is great.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Hush anybody that could communicate with aliens. If it's Aaron Rodgers,
so be it Major and my book because I don't
care about his football cleer anymore. I want to see
what he does after football. And it's like Mike Tyson
said with ayahuasca and Toad Venom earlier this week, I
try everything, do everything. I hate to be scared of death.
He said he was scared of death because he's seen things.
(27:15):
Now he's no longer scared of it. Maybe Aaron Rodgers
knows and has seen some things, and if he can
do it, I'm all for it.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
I think he could replace George Nori on Coast to
Coastes that'd be incredible, all right to.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
A tag of aoloas not taking anything to you, not
taking any chances. After the recent burglaries of fellow QBS
Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes, during today's press conference, uh
he issued a warning to burglars to think twice before
targeting his home because he's fully prepared. He said he's
increased security not only for him his family and also
(27:52):
for his home, hiring personal security for his wife when
she travels, as well as having someone patrol his home
when he's out and about, and went on to say, yes,
they are armed, so do not go anywhere near my house.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Maybe with your major I.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Mean pretty major, I mean better protection than his offensive line,
right right, Yeah, with all those concussions, Alison, I think
it is frightening if you're a player now to know
that you could be targeted because people know you're playing.
That's scary stuff, especially families with kids and their wives
are home. Like, I think every player is going to
(28:28):
take these precautions major, especially come from a guy who
was a little reckless in my opinion, a guy that
wanted no extra protection on the field with his helmet
is saying, yo, we need guns at home.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I think it's actually a pretty cool story.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I think I'm just gonna have Victoria's Secret Models houseton.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Your wife will love that, all right, Okay, As we know,
Caitlyn Clark and Taylor Swift I both had quite the year,
Taylor wrapping up her Errors tour and Caitlyn Clark recently
being named Times Athlete of the Year.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Well.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
In her interview with Time, Clark revealed that Swift actually
reached out to Clark when Clark attended to Error shows
Eras Tour shows in Indianapolis, saying that the singer gave
her a couple of bags of swag and a personal
note saying that Clark was inspiring to watch from afar,
and also said that Swift and Travis are excited to
attend a Fever game once things settle down, and also
(29:18):
invited Caitlyn Clark to sit in the.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Suite with them during eight Chiefs game.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
So a few more games left in the season, we'll
see if that happens midweek or major.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I mean it's major because it's the two biggest women
in sports and entertainment talent around.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
And Kayla Clark's a Chiefs fan and She's a Chiefs fan,
so it's like it's this weird synchronicity going on.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Wow, Oh my goodness, just Tingley, this is huge news. Listen.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I think Kaitlyn Clark deserved, by the way, the Time
magazine Athlete of the Year because who has done more
for their sport and sports and Kitlin Clark. I mean
I have come down a lot of times, been all
tough on her actually in the past year. But I
mean NBA ratings are down. We were talking about how
they're losing viewership. The WNBA, with the help of Kaitlyn Clark,
is only growing. They're going in different directions. Congrats Kitland
major on every level of major for real. I mean
(30:03):
you got the person of the Year, the athlete of
the year, I'm sorry, and the biggest pop star in
the world.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That's a huge story. I think it's cool and that's
really it, Okay, I mean for their thoughts.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Now, let me tell you the reach of this goes
so far that Kylie Jenner debuted her podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Actually Kyla Kelsey, and that's gonna be my next story.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Kylie, Kylie Jenner, Kelly, wife of Jason, debut brand new podcast.
Not gonna Lie last week and the numbers are in.
After just one episode, the new podcast shot to the
number one spot on podcasts on both Apple and Spotify,
dethroning none other than mister podcasts himself, the Joe Rogan Experience.
Many fans are scratching their heads over this because the
(30:44):
podcast racked on YouTube just over six hundred thousand views.
The average Joe Rogan podcast gets like two million. Plus
he has fourteen million subscribers on Spotify alone.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
So is it the tailor shift effect? Who does I mean?
It's gotta be a major.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
It's major because it shows you that the the wife
of an NFL center has the number one podcast of
the week, even if it only lasted a week or so.
Because of the connection to Taylorswift. It's major. Not to
take anything away from amer congrats, but we have to
remember that just because they have the most viewers doesn't mean.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
It's the best podcast.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You know, and you can say sour grapes when but
I doubt her show is that good, by the way,
at least right now, I'm not wishing anything bad, you know,
against it.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
On iHeart Podcasts, over Promised with Cavino and Rich Is
still number one.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Okay, hasn't been de perfect all right. Finally here's the kicker.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
A high school football coach in New Jersey lost his
job after asking his players to work out and lift
weights in the off season.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 8 (31:40):
Coach Jim clearly was let go from Park Ridgehigh School,
which is actually the home of James Gandolfini, after four
to four and one season first season as head coach.
But he was shocked when he approached the administration saying,
I want to ask my players to work on the
off season, and they were saying, you can't require them
if they would, I don't want to work out.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
They don't have to work out.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
He said it was too much to ask of students
at this level of a small school. So was let go,
and he said responded by saying, this is the standard
at most schools now, most programs around the area, so
MIDWEK or major.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
This is the weakest sauce of all time. We I mean,
we call it gravy. It's the weakest gravy and sauce
of all time. I mean, to tell kids to work out,
it's a bad thing. Tell my high school coaches this
in my high school baseball coach made us pass a
fitness test to even try out because we were lingering
around five hundred and he's like, you guys are not
(32:35):
going to compete unless you get stronger. Yeah, and you're
teaching these kids super weak sauce like which said, baby ween,
you're teaching them discipline, You're keeping them accountable, You're getting
them prepared to not make it mandatory.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Is lame as hell. So yeah week super weekly. Right,
thank you, Spotty, Thank you guys. Soun. Let's go to
Dan Bayer for an update. What's up dB?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Hey, guys, do you remember the nineteen sixty home run
derby show where they would have two outs? Yes, hank
Aaron also was it was all you would have hank
eron against Willie Mays or Tarmin Giller group Rocky Colorvito
passed away yesterday at the age of ninety one. He
was the last living player to have participated in that show.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Wow, you know they would play it on ESPN Classics
all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I would love it.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yes, yes, I don't remember it just for the record,
because it was, like he remembers, like I was watching
it when it aired.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
It aired in nineteen sixty and if you do a
deeper dive. The host of it was great. He had
a heart attack soon after the filming of that. They
didn't know, they didn't. They decided to cancel the series
because they didn't have a host.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Ye know what I loved about it too, is how
the players talked back then.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, gee, what was the name of the host again?
Do you remember? It was like gosh, you may have
been like, I can't pig God or Mark.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
The way the players talk, they had that old school
way about them, and they're weird kid.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I had a home run, see pretty much.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
It was a little bit of that. Boy, he's a
really good player. He's got that really good swing. I
really got I really got a load onto that water
of left field. Yeah it was Mark Scott, Mark Scott Marks.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
That was yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
So that's uh, but yeah, I just wanted to I
knew the baseball guys I knew would know that show.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
All right.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
The big news is Bill Belichick is going to be
the next head coach at the University of North Carolina.
Board of trustees expected to finalize his contract tomorrow morning,
according to WRAL in North Carolina. Credit to Inside Carolina,
who'd been all over this story from the get go.
They were the first ones to report the contact and
also reported today that the sides were finalizing a deal
(34:37):
contract for Belichick three years, thirty million dollars to be
the new head coach at the University of North Carolina.
The nc DOUABLEA tournament could be expanding. N Cuba President
Charlie Baker says they're having productive talks on expanding the
field from sixty eight to either seventy two or seventy six,
and an expanded field could be happening in time for
the twenty twenty six tournament. FIFA announced that the twenty
(34:58):
thirty World Cup will be held across Spain, Portugal and Morocco,
with three one off matches to be held in South
America to honor the one hundred Anniverse one hundred year
anniversary of the event. The twenty thirty four World Cup
will be played in Saudi Arabia. No practice today for
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, while Giants quarterback Drew Locke is
in a walking boot, so you're likely to see Tommy
Devido get the start for the Giants against the Ravens
(35:19):
in week fifteen, and no Trent Williams for the Niners tomorrow,
while Nick Bosa and Isaac Grendo are considered questionable after
limited practices. Today, finally Red Sox acquired White Sox pitcher
Garrett Crochet.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Guys, back to you just shows you how wacky the
NFL is.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Dan Bayer Niners are three point favorites at home in
this game. Meanwhile, the Rams just come off of beating
the Bills. The Niners got whooped by the Bills. The
Niners have injuries, Rams have injuries. It's just the NFL.
At the stage of the game, there's a handful of
teams that are as unpredictable as could be.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I would stay away from this game.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah, even in week fifteen, we still have no idea
what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
But what's doing?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Thank you dB, we got more Kavino and Rich and
coming up, we got to talk about the most searched
athletes of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
So hang time more next.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
What come O come out? The late Great d MX
arguably the best version of Rudolph the ren those Reindeer.
The original is pretty cool. N I heard a creed
Ai version of Higher mixed with Rudolph that went viral.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
That was pretty good. Here's a hemish Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I was like, he's a reindeer. Yeah, it was pretty
much that pretty much that look it up.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It's funny. It's on barstool back page or something today.
Either way, we're Cadino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
What what barstool? Yeah you could. I thought that site
was banned.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Is that where you have destined meetings about sports and
maybe on a different you meet up until discuss your
fantasy league? Yeah? Is barstool backstage?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Got it all right? Way off, I like barstool Backpage.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
There is way is that where you can get employees
to give you a massages.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
There was a creed version of the house for you.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Oh boy, all right, well, hey, there was a list
that came out because it is that time of the year.
People were doing countdowns and lists and end of the
year recaps, and you know, I saw how much of
this year sadly had to do a politics that of
like the top twenty five moments of twenty twenty four,
so many of the things revolved around Trump and Biden
(37:31):
and commmel And honestly, the standouts are like Huck to.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
A girl, It really was there.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
When you look at the moments of twenty twenty four,
you'd be sadly, you know, you'd be sent realized that
its ending on a real odd note, with a bunch
of thirsty chicks searching Luigi Mangione. He's a murderer, but
because he's like attractive, like people are like, yeah, slow down,
he murdered somebody. Geez, women love this dude, so slay.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Now, who comes to mind Robin Hoody in twenty twenty
four as the most searched the most trending athlete according
to Google.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I think you'd be surprised, yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I saw that there was a meme and it said
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul among the top search and
I'm like, you know what, then we were right on
the money because we talked about those two a lot,
and we looked it up. Mike Tyson was number two,
so sometimes the number two is better than number one.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I've heard that's true, Mike. No, thanks Mike, because Jake
Paul was number five. Now, because of that cano, my
brain automatically said, well, Kaitlyn Clark right, and it wasn't
Ray Gun by the way the break Dancer heard either
Caitlyn Clark and Ray Gun surprisingly not even in the
top ten according to the school stats. Yeah, yeah, no,
(38:52):
Kitlyn Clark, Bunch Clark wasn't top ten in Google search,
a bunch of I wouldn't say their household names, but
their worldwide names.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
So Simone Biles is number four, she's on there, but
number one, number one is Iman Khalif. Oh, and it's
a big story. You forgot your fat straight before you
talk about that story? Very true. I wasn't Algerian boxer
who we speculated.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Is it a woman? Is it a man?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
You remember the whole story, and she was indeed a woman.
There's a lot of scandalous she won the gold medal.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
It had the chromosome story everybody.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
But it's crazy to think that as big as the Tyson,
Jake Paul's story was. I mean, first of all, it's
crazy to think that Jake Paul is in the top ten,
right with all these giant names in the world of
soccer and Olympics and everything else, he's up there in
the top ten. It does show you how popular, how
impactful Jake Paul is.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
But when you think about this.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Tyson Paul circus that we dove into for so long
that Iman Khalif was still the number one search term
and name in the world of sports. It was a
big so she's a man, and then I was like, oh, hold,
not so fast, she's not the you know that was
that was controversial.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Do you remember athletes.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
In all sports sort of put their two cents in
prematurely because we all got the story. They're like, yeah,
she was a biological dude that was beating up women
in a sport. And then we were quickly told that's
not necessarily true. Look at the facts, and the facts
were that she was not born man.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Everyone saw a headline, they didn't read the actual story,
and you know what that sort of defines twenty twenty four.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Scotty Scheffler's on there too, at number eight. So Scottie Scheffler,
the top ten are route. Maybe we'll talk more about
it tomorrow if we don't get to some things, it'll
be on overpromised our bonus podcasts. Searched that and enjoy
watch watch that Megan Fox robot movie, and then uh
to ask you what you could get a robot or
(40:50):
the Mike Tyson interview on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page
perfect all right until then, Rima there she may me
you and the Promise Land
