match Fox twenty is Rob Thomas watched three am KLF
uh huh uh huh, three am eternal. Who's up at
three am watching baseball? Nobody so after a World Championship

(00:44):
season that the Dodgers had one for the Ages, you
would think that you, Danny g the lifelong Dodgers fan,
would get first DIBs on watching the game.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
No, were you up at three am?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Or No?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I have to admit I did get up one time.
It was a bathroom break and I checked the score,
and right as I turned it on, it was the
overthrow and Otani came around to score to take the
lead two to one, and then I went back to bed.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
You know, four to one win over the Cubs. Congrats
to the Dodgers, middle leading world champs.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Again.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
You would think that you get to watch them on

of course, you're on Tokyo Time.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Tune in Tokyo. Yes, it was my favorite game.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Let me tell you, watching a game in the middle
of the night, or as you said yesterday, sometimes there'll
be an international fight.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
All right, man, the time is all weird.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I mean, think about it when we were kids, Mike Tyson,
Buster Douglath.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
That was in Tokyo.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, but that was late at night, like around It
wasn't around three am. It was like midnight ish. But
it's sort of like when you wake up on the
West Coast and you're not quite sure what the stock
market looks like and you open your phone. You're like
a big money, big money, oh like because it's already started,
already happened, and here you are tuning in. But hey,

(02:00):
congrats to the Dodgers. You are now one to zero
on your way to winning one hundred and twenty games
and then hopefully choking in the playoffs. Again, we're broadcasting

(02:58):
and all that good stuff. Curtis of our good friends
and sponsor Tractor Supply for Life out here. You know
the chances of filling out a perfect bracket. I looked
this up because it's absurd. I broke out my t
I eighty two one. I didn't have a t I
eighty two. What did you have, a mister professor, I
had a Texas instrument little professor. Actually, yeah, the guy

(03:20):
with the mustache and the glasses, the little kid calculator.
I really didn't have a t I eighty two one
in nine point two. Oh now I'm freaking tillion quintillion.
Quinn's hold on, Now you're zero zero zero.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Your chances are zero, is what I'm saying. So chances
are zero? How many zero?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, you know, no offense to our great sponsor attractor supply,
but anyone could be like, yeah, I'll give you bazillion
dollars if you get the bracket right, because I do
think it's one and nine point two.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Bazillion.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Do you think Fox Sports lawyer like signed off on
the one million for insurance reasons?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like just in case, why couldn't we say ten impossible?
That's what.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
But it's improbable. It's not impossible. What up dB?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
They say.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
What you should do then is just double your winnings
for every game, like if you could Now there are
games at the same time, but if you just doubled
your winnings from like say, starting from a dollar, if
you got imagine being on a sixty seven game heater right.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Stead like exponential, Yes, it's it's like you ever see
those things like, hey, would you take a big sum
of money now?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Or what if I told you I'll give you a
dollar but I double whatever day.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's exactly yeah, yep, right now, I looked it up.
I was was that right that I say? It's one
in nine point two Quinn tillion. That's your chance of
guessing all sixty three games right. Once March Madws begins,
the elon On X's offering a trip to Mars, we don't.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
That's like when that's like when you buy Mars if
you yeah, that's like when we used to have the
Mountain dew and Pepsi points and they're like, yeah, you
can win this.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Jet, this fight. That's why they made that fighter jet.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
And then you're like someone actually tried to do it
and they're like, no, you actually can't have this because
that's against the law.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Honestly, when elon musk, he might as well say, yeah,
you you'll win Mars. You could win Mars if you win,
if you get a perfect bracket, Mars is your great.
I don't want to go there though, because we haven't
even sent anybody there yet. Jeff Bezos could say, you
know what, I will gift you Amazon if you get
the bracket right one in nine point two?

Speaker 2 (05:26):
What is it again?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Can I just catch in for property on Mars? I
really don't want to go quintillion. You're having a hard
time remembering that quintillion? But how often is something in
the quintillions?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I mean, but you read the fact. Is this a
part of the show today where we're all going to
go over our brackets?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
No, not at all, not, but I have to fill
mine out by tomorrow again tomorrow nacket challenge and I
bet yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
We got the first four games starting this afternoon.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
That's right. The madness begins now. Based on the madness,
We're gonna get to a bunch of today. We're gonna
talk some baseball, Tracy Mogan's vomiting. We're gonna talk about
poor Tracy Morgan. Joey Callo or is it gallow it's
Joey gallop O gallous.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
We're gonna talk about him.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
We're gonna talk about wearing your sports team's gear on
opening day, Shack Diesel trivia. I don't know how we're
gonna fit it all. And to be honest, but I
didn't want to bring up a question that I asked
you earlier, and I'll give our pals at barstool a
quick shout out. I heard them discussing this, and I said,
you know what, I've had this thought before, so I'll

(06:29):
take it and bring it to our show. The question was,
how many NBA players that are active right now if
you put them on a sixteen seed team like a
Saint Mary's or something like that would win the whole thing.
Like if you said Lebron James, you're now on numbers

(06:50):
high over seventy five, closer to one hundred, probably NBA
Danny g Like if you said, don't undermine and underestimate
next level, great, these guys are to be in the NBA.
If you took a random superstar, Giant Scalabrini could lead
one of these teams to a championship. Maybe not now,
but you know, no, now he beat the Messiah, George

(07:13):
the Messiah in a street ball game, he still could
do it. But if you took a Jalen Brunson or
you know, a superstar in the NBA and put him
on a sixteen seed, how many guys do you think
are in the NBA now that could take a sixteen
seed all the way and just cruise to winning a
national title. Like if you put Lebron James, like I

(07:35):
said on SAT, my answer seventy five because for every
superstar on every team, there's a guy who's almost as good.
There's a number two there. So I'm going seventy five.
You always talk about the NBA's top seventy five of
all time. I'm just saying seventy five just because I
don't think it's a loan number. I think these guys

(07:55):
are superstars. They've made it to the NBA. They're superstars.
They're the best, the best. So I think the number
is high, higher than you think, because again there's levels
to the game.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
About how many men's practice squad.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Think about how many great players don't make the NBA.
These dudes made the NBA and they excel in the NBA.
So you got to figure the numbers relatively higher than
you probably think. That's what I'm thinking. You're saying again,
how many players in the NBA could lead a random
team to a college championship? Right, Dann Buyer, what's your

(08:33):
initial instinct on this? Hyper Comina saying seventy five percent
of teams. He's saying seventy five current players and the
current players. Okay, it's just that I'm picking any arbitrary.
He's just playing off of like the NBA's top seventy
five players. Just picking seventy five players currently a random number.
But I hear what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
So if you put Nicola Jokicic on Saint Francis, Yeah, Francis,
they win the whole tournament without a doubt, I would
say zero.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
What you don't think you'll get you?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I don't think player Carmelo Anthony did it for Syracuse
at oh three.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I know, but I'm just thinking of just one player.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
I mean, Yokich would have to have seventy and thirty
for like a Saint Francis team to make a run.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
How do you stop that guy?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
How do you stop How does a college nerd who's
good at basketball, he's good, but he's not great, who
never sees in Sniff's the NBA?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
How do you stop a ynest? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
I don't have that answer, right, but I do think
that if you run pickup games, and that's what I
go to, Like, there's when you run pickup games, at
some point maybe a team gets tired, Maybe something happens
another team that's a little bit less will grab a game,
and then that team has to leave the court. And
so I would think that at some point there would

(09:54):
be one team. I'm not saying they would lose six games,
but at one point in a game of basketball where
you only have one player of that caliber, yeah, I
would say.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I think a guy like Jo Kich is a great example.
Because the NBA they lack big men. So think of college,
there's not a lot of great big men. If you
took Jannis onto the Koupo and put him on how
about this High Point University he was in the tournament?
Could he lead them to I think Jannis could take
High Point University and be cutting down the net in
a couple of weeks from now.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Maybe you're right.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
You know where I would go the comparison because I
think that Syracuse still had top quality players around Carmello.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
They did, and they had Beheimen good coaching.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
It's Stephen Davidson. They made it to the Elite eight.
Yeah when and you talk about so like if you
put stuff on Davidson now they'd win the whole thing. Yeah,
you're probably right. So maybe I should back off my zero, like,
maybe it's not seventy five. Yeah, dah, I think yeah,
I'd go with I'd go.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
With I'm saying, honestly, my real answer, I said seventy
five DP just because it's a fun number. I'm staying
closer to one hundred, but it's probably I'm thinking sixty
like two per team. Yeah. Again, to give props, I
saw a big cat on barstool talking to Caruso about this,
and they were saying, there's probably one or two guys
per team in the NBA that are that level. Because
you got to think the best of the best nineteen

(11:19):
twenty year old college kids would be out of their
league even entering the NBA. Sure, Like, how do they
stop with Steph Curry just from lighting it up? The
NBA can't even figure it out. Some college teams going
to figure that out. Luca or Jokic or you know,
like you said, Jalen Brunson gets hot, and these guys
are putting up big numbers against others. Gay, I mean Lebron, James,

(11:40):
Kevin Durant. I think all these dudes would lead their
team to a championship. Again, it's a hypothetical. I'm not
a big fan of them, but it's a fun one.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
The reason I think that it's interesting is because don't
we always say, whoever, the best team in college football
is that, well, how would they do against the worst team?
And then then everybody comes out, all the former players
be like they'd lose eighty to nothing to the to
the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
But as a.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Golf fan, when people think that players are good, like
there is a different level to tour pro. So in
a one on one situation, Peter Jacobson is a his
career is over. He now does a lot of TV.
But he always said that he was he was closer
to Michael Jordan, or if if you were to compare
being a basketball player like Michael Jordan because he loved

(12:26):
to play golf, that Peter Jacobson was closer to being
Michael Jordan as a basketball player than Michael Jordan was
of him being a golfer.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's like, that's Scalabrini always says, I may have been
the worst in the NBA, but I'm closer to Lebron,
closer to Jordan than you are to me. Sure you
know that was his thing too, and that was always
the fun bit with Scalabrini. You know, big goofy white
guy played in the NBA for quite a while. His
whole gimmick was shutting up haters online. Yeah, he would
take like these ballers, they'd like that. You would think like, oh,

(12:56):
they'll battle him. He would blank them.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
He led him up. Yeah. So just an interesting hypothetical.
So I think it's a good.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Mix with five players as well, because there's one that
you'd still have four others around that if they were schmucks,
maybe you could.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, what about this? What if you took Now, now
I'm going off the rail, so we could stop. But
I was gonna say, what if you took a w
NBA team and put one superstar in it? Would they
run the table? Like?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
What if it was the men's turn?

Speaker 1 (13:27):
What if you took like the LA Sparks and put
Kevin Durant on, So it's Kevin Durant and the LA Sparks.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Would they win? Would they win the NCAA tournament?

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Man, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Everyone loves you. Everyone loves to chauvinistically say, you know what,
men's the high school basketball team woul whoop the w
n B A And that's likely.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
But what if you took Kevin Durant and.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Put him with Cameron Brink and the ladies for the
l A Sparks and said, all right, you're now in
the sweet sixteen, take it away. I don't know, it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Something to think about. Dumb thoughts. I had thoughts you
have when you're on edibles.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I mean, what on a random Monday night when you're
hanging around Yeah, perfect, I get it.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
So anyway, I hope you're enjoying your Tuesday. So what
if you could pick an animal to then?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, how far do you think you got if teen
wolf was on your team? But you also had to
have chubs on your team? All right? Speaking of basketball,
I'd say let's start with this, but we already started
last night. Tracy Morgan, did you see this guy? Ain't
nothing wrong with a little opulence. Astronaut Jones himself court

(14:37):
side at the next game. By the way, I don't
think enough people appreciate Astronaut Jones, one of the greatest
SNL characters, in my opinion, right up there with some
of the most legendary skitst I'm a big fan of
astronaut Jones. Hockett.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm on a rocket. Astronaut Jones is fantastic astronaut.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
He sang it at the SNL fifty so Tracy Morgan
court side, and it's a sad video because you see
that feeling that we've all had where you're like, oh, no, one,
oh no, you know what. The sad part of the
story is he barfs all over the court. He's court
side and he barfs and everyone has.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
It on video.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
My immediate thought and I feel ashamed to even think.
I was like, he probably drank too much because it
could happen to anybody. Yeah, But then I found that
he's sober, right, So I'm like, here, I am assuming, Yeah,
he probably had a little too much drink. It happens.
I'm not judging him, but it happens. It's just embarrassing
because he's a celebrity. Instead it was some bad food instead, Yeah,
he really did get food poisoning. And even when I

(15:40):
heard food poisoning, I thought to myself, yeah, likely story.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
He was boozing, that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Sober. Yeah, So I'm happy to hear that he's okay.
But it doesn't take away from how embarrassing that way.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Paul Pierce wheelchair was awesome. They pull out a wheelchair
for the guy and.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
They wheel him off the court because he barfed all
over him.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know, I just wanted to let him know. It
could have been worse.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I thought about this, What if Tracy Morgan getting sick
at the garden maybe I'm pregnant, created a ripple effect
a la Goonies. This was horrible. All the people started
getting sick and throwing up all over each other. Car
I never know so bad of my entire life. Imagine

(16:28):
Tracy Morgan, maybe I got morning sickness at the nighttime.
Maybe eighteen thousand people are like, no, that's.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Infamous scene from stand By Me. Yes, oh contest, yeah,
Lar lares. So it really is the worst. I mean,
that's the downside of being a celebrity.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
You can't pick your nose, you can't really do anything
in public, you can't throw up courtside at MSG.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
And he is famous and this is a winning Knicks team.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, you imagine there would have been more vomit had
this been the nixt what six seven seasons exactly.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, to put a little bow on the conversation, we
wish Tracy Morgan well, and he did tweet from the
doctor's office saying that on the bright side, the Knicks
are now one to zero in games. He's vomited, so
congratulations to the next Yeah, we're happy. By the way,
just so you know, we're fans. Rich and I fun fact,
actually got to sing Astronaut Jones with Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
One of our favorite bits on SNL. We had him
on the show.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, and we said we're a big fan of Astronaut Jones.
We sang it with he started just singing it. We're like,
let's do it anywhere every word. I was proud of myself.
So I'm a big fan. But I did think immediately
that man, he must have had a little too much
of the uh Grandpa's coll syrup of the costs here,
like Jason stut We were talking about this with Jason Stewart,
producer of The Gayleep Show, and he's like, no, he

(17:46):
had to be on drugs.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
Like, oh, I don't know, maybe he was just sick.
He's like, no, he's on drugs, or hey, he's sober.
I guess again that's where he goes food poisoning.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
But you know what, what Jay Stu said and what
Cavino thought is the common sentiment, like when someone gets.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Sick, you're like, yeah, either be drinking or boozing or drugging.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's like no, like he just got caught in that
moment that unfortunately, we've all been in our very own
Colin Cowherd, what like a month or so ago, remember
right before the shower, Yeah, yeah, mid show, Colin's like no, yeah,
first segment of the of the show. Remember that, He's
like Eagles chiefs in a week. All right, we gotta
go to break guys. I'm right, guys, my stuff. Oh
hold up, I'll be back like it happens.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
No, I had eleven minutes coming back from Iowa. I
had eleven minutes to catch my connecting flight, and I
had to go from one concourse to another so I
wouldn't go down on the train.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
I was sprinting.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
I had about fifteen gates to go with about one
minute left, and I was like, I have to stop
because I almost booted.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
It right there.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
And I almost threw up right there in the airport
because I was cardio is your reason? Well, yeah, that
was obviously an issue, but I was really booking it
and I almost booted it. Imagine that I was sam like,
on you know that that moving walkway, That's what I
was on.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I was like, I felt bad that.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
You're running an incredible rate, Harry.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
But the Knicks actually had to come out and say
we'll invite him back to the garden, and I was like, oh,
that's that stinks that they had to put out a
state welcome back.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
And by the way, it wasn't just a little bit.
I don't know if everyone saw the clip, but it
was projectile. Yeah, it was pretty significant. So a real
embarrassing moment because again they had to like pause for
a little bit clean up. It was court side, right
on the court nosebleed. He also had a nosebleed like
with it, so it's fit like, yeah, park serious, it was,

(19:31):
so there was there was genuine concern at one point,
and it was really serious. He had his face in
the towel and the wheelchair there. But at first I
really did think it was like a Paul Pierce sort
of moment where it was like kind of stage like,
all right, let's get him out of here. But he
really was sick, as the story goes, so wishing him
well and have to acknowledge it and we're all human

(19:52):
and things happen, and there you go, no doubt giving
away prizes Today on a Tuesday, Iowa Sam has a
hot take about the Dodgers game. It's three am. There's
a Tiasca Hernanders.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
I have a hot little takyo about that game in Tokyo.
I just want to share. It's actually your take. You
on it'll takyo about that game in Tokyo. Me and
Bershing are kind of co sign on this opinion. But
it's not a whole like like I know, people are like, well,
it's you know, why is it getting Opening Day started
like this? And it's not a lot different than like
Notre Dame going over to Ireland and playing a game

(20:26):
over there and that's week zero? Like this is this
looks like college football to me.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I don't hate it. I don't hate at the same
way the NFL when they had the game between the
Eagles and the Packers started.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Where was that in Brazil?

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Right? I mean I get it, you're trying to expand
the game. I don't hate it.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
It's a week zero of baseball and people celebrate opening
Day differently for MLB, like it doesn't have the same
hoopla around college football when you start on like the
first Saturday of September or late August.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I agree, there is there is something special about opening
day baseball, and I think that's why, like old school
fans like opening.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Day is every one's playing at the same time on
the same day. It's going to be more and more
like college football, where it's gonna be like week zero,
week point five, and then the actual start.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
I don't hate that.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
What is weird though, is it's like it's an extension
of spring training almost because you start, then you seems
like you stop again and start.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's that was my take.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's the part that is hard. What's weird to me
is that while.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
The Dodgers already have a you know, a win in
the you know, a w in the win column, other
teams are still like, it's spring training, guys.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's weird.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
It's just it's too far away though, to you can't
fly over there, play a game and then just get
right back in the I've actually been in Japan and
went there when I was a teenager, and the jet
lag is real.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
It is very real. Is that when you were modeling
internationally I was in.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
I was.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
Little blonde kid, fifteen years old, and I was taller
than most of the men there. Yeah, I was like
tall people, but I was like towering over them.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
But just to think, like, right now as we speak,
the Angels and Reds are playing in a meaning in
this game. Yet ten hours ago, Dodgers are you know,
playing for something seating the Cups?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, so they played its official but they played at
three am.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah. Now, Rich, before we get into the Joey Gallows
story and reinventing yourself, Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
The Dodgers Jerseys.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Can I just tell you as a Yankees fan, I'm
never the pessimistic type of guy. I'm never the fan
that says they shook and mad about it. But I
really do think that unless they make a significant move,
and again we're talking about the team that played the
Dodgers in the World Series, unless they make a significant move,

(22:42):
soon their seasons washed before it even starts. And you
see a lot about this on social media, my algorithm especially,
but I don't hear a lot of people on Fox
Sports necessarily talking about it. How significant the injuries have
been for the Yankees. They're the that you think have
a shot to come back. You and I bet one

(23:04):
thousand dollars on who'd have a better record. The Yankees
are the Mets, you know, sort of liking that bet.
You got no heel, right, who was the rookie of
the year last year? At least no heel for now?
No heel on the heel, no heel. You got Clark
Schmidt who's saying he can't be ready because he's clawed injured.

(23:24):
You got Jean Carlos Stanton with bad elbows. How much
Tennis was this guy playing in the offseason? No Garrett Cole,
no Roger, no Rerun, no Rent. It's not looking good
for Los Yankees. Derrett Cole out for the season. Maybe
they should shut shaving again. Their best slugger, the only
guy that really stepped up last year in the postseason.

(23:46):
Stanton out at least for now. I don't know how
they're gonna do it unless they make a significant mood.
If they got no one at third base, they got
nobody at third base. DJ. You're banking on DJ Lemayhew
and his hurt tootsies, if it makes you feel any better.
Wan Soto has five home runs in spring training and
he's bat in like four hundred, oh and Clay Holmes
is starting on opening down. That's the reason I bring

(24:08):
it up. When you got teams that are so uber
stacked nowadays in a very competitive Al East. Obviously, right,
those are good teams in the Al East. But you
got the Dodgers, you got the Phillies, you got the Mets.
The Mets really have a golden opportunity to seize this moment,
not only because you have won Soto, but because all

(24:28):
of these stars and the Yankees don't look like they're
gonna be able to step up. So as a fan
for the first time where I'm actually really usually anticipating.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
The star, I'm like, man, they're doomed.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Nah, listen, man, as less something happens the Yankees, Dodgers,
there's teams that always have high hopes every year, but
when you are riddled with injuries, no matter what sport
it is, you got to just keep in mind. So
many teams make the playoffs now, and baseball has caught up,
not necessarily to the level of the NBA or the
NHL where under five hundred teams make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
But dude, it's it's March.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
What is it March? Eighteenth.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
But Garret Cale's not coming back. Dude.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
He's got Tommy John. He's got the surgery. So it's
not like, oh, well you get him in the postseason.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
This is on Tommy.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Huh Tommy, Yes like that, Hey, as the as the owner, John,
you got the Tommy Tommy John. That sounds like he's
got appendicities. He's got Tommy John, Tommy John, Tommy John.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah. You know, I'm not as optimistic radio head style
as they usually am. That's great, but you just.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Blew my mind that we all say Elton John, but
we say Tommy Tommy John. Two people with John last name.
But we've decided the emphasis. Yes, we've determined that somehow
Elton John, but it's Tommy John, Tommy Yeah, Tommy John. Interesting.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
But anyway, I think, uh, I think we did a
time out to go to Dan Bayer.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
It annoys me when people call him the Green Bay
Packers's green Bay emphasize the bay.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Where are they from? Are you the New Orleans guy
or New Orleans?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
I was New Orleans until I was told this.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Not No one says Louisville better than Dan Byron Louisville. Yeah, els,
he's the League leader. You're Manzi Blago. So I love
when she says timber Wolves that's my favorite. That or
Cardinals the rule, Cardinals little.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's a me and Moncey combo. Uh there, Now, Rich,
you want to tell us about your problem?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
You got a problem?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
For Rich is saying he's got a problem.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I do have one question and it's a yes or no,
and then we could I could tell you my problem.
You brought up Tracy Morgan and astronaut Jones, those two
astronauts that were just saved. Do you think at any
point they were like so lonely that they were like,
you want to have space love.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
She looks like she aged ten years on the one trip.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
So you think she's like, I look like amazing quickly,
I might as well try to make love to this man.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You think this happens at all?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Nothing?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
No? Can you take your space suit off and do that?
I mean, how do you bathe have a sports related
space question? Did you see that clip of the dude
that throws himself a pitch, hits it, and then catches it.
Are you talking about a Bugs Bunny cartoon? No? But
you know with the gravity of outer space that no

(27:31):
It's so cool because I would want to do that
if I was floating around in space. I love Dan
Buyer throwing his headphone, so clearly he has some outer
space insight.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Now let's talking about space Love here. No, the thing
that I was going to say is that the thing
is there's cameras everywhere. They're being watched, so that would be,
I think the tricky part, except if you were I
guess to relieve yourself. I don't know what they have
for a bathroom.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Only fans in out of space think of the money,
the profits.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Being a little awkward taking off your space pants in
front of all those people.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
But they're not in there. They're not in the space
walk outfit the whole time.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
They're there like in like a polo shirt, so they're
not like they're not geared up for two hundred and
fifty five straight days.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I'm just saying, if people get you know, if people
get all riled up after two weeks on a reality
dating show, imagine nine months you and one other person,
they they must start to look good no matter who
they are. That's all I'm saying. So Space Love here
on being known.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Right, they have vacuum toilets with a funnel for urination
and a seat for number two.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
It's like the perverted bugs. Bunny thought. Remember when the
guys were stranded on the island. The fat guy looked
like a hamburger, and then the skinny guy looked like
a hot dog. Because they were on the islands. They
were so hungry. Yeah, they were so hungry they wanted
roast rabbit. If you're trapped in space, even with the
most average looking person, after a while, they might start
looking pretty gig.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
It's true.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's richest thought here. I love my women looking like
broom Hilta. Yeah all right, so sorry, let's go back
to my Dodger thought.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
I walk into work today, Danny G's got his Dodgers
hat on. Big Mic who runs his place? Who you
know the guy that runs I Heart and Premiere Radio
Networks com I think you got a raise, isn't he?
And a promotion?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
It doesn't even run everything then, and he runs pawn Stars.
He runs Premier Networks as well.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, so Big Mike, Danny G and R. Pal Bersch
Editor Supreme, and I'm sure a bow as well. Everyone
is wearing their Dodgers gear.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's Opening Day. But I ask you this, since the
game was on at three am.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Had the Dodgers lost, would you have worrior Dodgers?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
It's still Opening Day even after an l It's just
one game, So who cares if you lose the first game?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's not a big game. I think as a fan
you have to rock your gear on Opening Day. That's
a fair thought. I'm just saying, like, for instance, regardless
call me a man with mil Jevos, but when the
forty nine Ers lose, I mean we do behind your
back all the time. Every time I leave the studio
and Dan Buyer comes in here. Is that what you
guys say?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
M hm, Okay, there he goes the man with no uvos.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
If the Niners lose a close game on Sunday, I'm
not wearing a forty nine Ers T shirt or a hoodie.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Why has it affect your fandom the one game play?
You're not right? And isn't that when the team needs
their supporters the most?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Then you know, maybe I just suck. Yeah, we tell
you that all the time when we talk about fair
Weather fandom. We thought about this so many times. So
like a real fan is a fan no matter what
win or lose, I know, and that's what you're celebrating.
Take the temperature of the room, meaning like, if if
the Mets get eliminated in a Game six against the Dodgers,

(30:38):
I'm not wearing my Mets jersey that next day. It's run.
Its course, great season, but I'm not rocketed the day
after an l I My thought is, you go to
the gym, you walk going around town. If you wearing
a losing jersey, I just feel like you give it
a day rest if you're a guy that wears a
lot of sports gear. So it is an interesting question

(30:58):
that only pertains to this particular moment because they played
at three am.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
So by the time you woke up, you did have
a decision.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, everyone else next week, when it's really Opening Day
could wake up, you know, put on their jeans and
their Jordan's and put on their baseball shirt. Yeah, you
don't know what's gonna happen, but you knew what happened.
But of course the Dodgers win, so I know. But
I had the Dodgers loss with Big Mike could be like,
I'm gonna wear my salmon button down instead.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
He said no, Actually he said.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Your team, plus you're you're representing the fact that they're
defending champions, your thoughts, your feedback, will take it next
at Covino and Rich something else. I actually saw more
than the highlights of this first game of the Major
League Baseball season. I'm seeing this all over social media.
In fact, I posted it on my Instagram story at

(31:46):
Rich Davis. If you want to follow along what Sam
Rockquall's monologue on episode five of The White Lotus. So
I heard it's great though the Happy Gilmour two trailers out,
yeah and bad Bunny and John Day and you saw
a shoot up, you saw Julie Bowen looking hot. You
saw Honestly, I.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Hope this is not bad. I'm gonna be so let down.
My observation is this, and already take of it what
you will.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
It seems like it's more heart tugging or heartfelt based
on the trailer. I'm not saying that's an accurate assessment,
but based on the trailer, seems like a heartfelt sort
of movie as opposed to like a stupid comedy that
we were used to in the first one. But my
feelings on Happy Gilmore too, to be honest, won't really

(32:34):
change much. Even if the movie stinks, then nostalgia alone
will be worth any of our hour and forty five minutes. Like,
no one's gonna watch this. Let me check that, no
one if you're thirty five to fifty something years old,
and the saying man when I was in high school,
when I was in high school in college, nothing meant
more to me than Billy Madison Happy Gilmore wedding singer.

(32:57):
Nothing that meant more to you than boobies did when
you were in high cool. Maybe that boobies and Sandler
movies and Big Daddynody magazine day wasn't more important, But
maybe you're right hiding my nudy magazines inside sports illustrated covers. Yeah,
playing high school baseball wasn't more important. Sandler movies are
up there. But the point is the Sandman brought us

(33:19):
so much joy with again, those are my That's the
trifecta for me. Billy Madison, Happy Gilmour wedding singer Danny
g said, Big Daddy, some people of the you know
water boy, but Sandman meant so much to us that
I refuse to be disappointed because in my mind, worst
case scenario, it's the only reason we fill in for
Dan Patrick to be honest, hoping that Sandler is listening

(33:40):
and he'll put us in a movie someday. Yeah, Dan
Patrick's gonna have a cameo on the new one. So
my feelings are are simple, Yes, we know, so are
your thoughts. Even if it's a hunk of junk. The
nostalgia alone will be enough for me to be excited
about July twenty fifth when it and I will be

(34:01):
very excited to watch it.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
And everybody's watching, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
And I was gonna say, if you're a grown man
or woman that says no, I'm going to pass on
this one. We are cut from such a different cloth.
It's unbelievable because this movie, it passes on a Netflix like,
it's so easy for you to watch.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
You're the same JIBBRONI that sleeps through New Year's You're
that guy a ton of call, go went to bed.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
I don't think we're gonna hear people passing on it
Rich It's just almost like sacred ground. So just I
don't want to be disappointed, and don't want to be
disappointed that much.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
An analogy maybe not the best one because I don't
put them in the same category. But when Eddie Murphy
came back to do Coming to America the second one,
that wasn't the best, but I loved every second of
it because of all the callbacks from the first one.
It it just hit in the fields. As they say,
it got your nostalgia going. And come July, if some

(34:53):
grown man's like, I'm not gonna watch, there's a good
chance I might give you a little punch of the neck.
Little I do believe can get your.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Head on your Yes, I hope it's good. The trailer
looks nice.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Even if it's not good, again, in an hour and
forty minutes you'll be like, ah, that nostalgia felt good. Yeah,
I'm not really expecting much. In fact, I don't even
care if it's good or bad. So your homework assignment tonight,
even though we don't like doing homework, is to watch
the trailer, make an assessment for yourself.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
It's available now.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
And then, of course, watch episode five of The White
Lotus because everybody's talking about.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
It, and fill out your Fox Sports Radio bracket.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
There it is, and do that too. And not only
Danny g fell out the bracket. Watch that White Lotus
monolog you speak of, I mean everybody else is talking
about it. So yeah, there's two of the movies I
want to bring up real quick, right quick. There's a
movie can you find Me? The title comane I'll keep
forgetting no, like eighty Years of Lies and Deceit. There's

(35:50):
a movie that debuted its south By Southwest that pretty
much insinuates aliens are among us. And they're saying it's
the most convincing legitimate talking heads in this documentary about UFOs,
aliens and how it's pretty official. They're here and they're saying,

(36:11):
this movie is anyone that's watching it at the age
of disclosure, anyone that's seen this at a film festival,
if you're into like aliens and UFOs, they're saying. People
are reacting like, oh, no way, they might be, So
it looks really dope. Though people are, like Rich said, reacting.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Interviews with thirty four members of the US government, military,
and intelligence community.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Man, they're saying, it's a it's really a cover up.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Because it's been a race to reverse engineer all the
UAPs and UFOs that with other have, Yeah, we have
in our possession. It's a it's a it's a race
to reverse these with other countries. So Gilmore trailer, this
movie that who knows when this is coming out? South

(37:03):
By Southwest, this docu series, documentary, and on Netflix. They're
saying they spend so much money on the Electric State.
Is anyone planning on watching this? Millie, Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt?
It's trending number one. It's like Robots in the Future.
Who else?

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Kihu Kwan short Round, He's in it, He's in it. Well,
now I'm watching.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Woody Harrelson, John Carlo Esposito from Breaking Bed, Stanley Tucci,
Anthony Mackie, Jenny Slat. It's like a star studded they're
saying it's on the people that create all the Marvel movies.
So the budget's astronomical, but as you call it, rotten
potatoes not tomatoes, given it like fifteen percent so far.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, so a high budget stinker is what it sounds like.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Have you even seen the trailer for The Dandy? I have, Yeah,
the Robot movie. Someone left a comment on one of
our fan pages. We have fan pages, believe it or not,
what do you know, Carl pages.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Most of the quote unquote fans are complaining, I.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Know Cochino and Rich Listener pages if you want to
complain as well on Facebook. The Carl's Cavino and Rich
Listeners shout out to them. It was like something along
the lines of Netflix putting out all these high budget
films that you essentially are paying for and that's why
they jack up the prices. Never really looked at it
that way, like, oh, there's another high budgeted movie that

(38:18):
is gonna stink that we're paying for. Well, when you
hear that they give like a Chris Rock or Chappelle
or someone like twenty million dollars for comedy special, where
do you think they're get them twenty dollars a month?
It was like it broke the glass on me. I'm
like really, yeah, wow, I didn't want to pay for
this stinker.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Have you guys noticed this trend of End of Time's
shows like Silo, Paradise, Zero Day, A lot of the
plots right now are they just go world.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
To an end?

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah? You know what, I'll name drop. We had director No,
he's not a director, ron Is. His brother is Clint Howard.
Cli We had Clint Howard on our show. She get
paid extra up for having to read this Bozo's mind
can we put that in my next contract. Covino gets
extra for having to read Rich's mind. We had we

(39:10):
had Clint On Clinton's brother is his brother who's best
known for being the mutant fan in The water Boy.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Clint House has this, He has this favorite famous line
with exchange with another f.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Fan seen since Joe Montana.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Joe Montana was a cornerback. He was idiot, that's it,
I said.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
I said, that's one of my favorite lines from the
water Boys. Clint is Ron's brother, and he's in all
those movies. And Cavino asked him, is Hollywood showing us
all these disaster movies to prepare us for something real
that you all know that's happening. He looked at Cavino.
I thought I was hitting him with a doozy and
he's real. He looked at him and he's like, are

(39:53):
you kidding me? And seemed disgusting. Sidetrack, Ron, Howard's your brother?
How come when all these movies come out? Are you
trying to do? You guys know something, you have connections.
What are you trying to prepare us? You know? He
made me feel so dumb looking back, It was sort
of a dumb question that was a good Clint Howard impression.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Are you.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Are you e f in kidding me?

Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's what he said, So.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Bad Joe MONTAGNAE look out for all these new movies
and trailers as we get ready for the madness in baseball,
and of course check Diesel trivia on the show today. Now,
speaking of baseball, rich there's a story that's sweeping not
necessarily the nation, but my algorithm after all the UFO stuff,

(40:42):
after all the white lotus, after all, give me no,
that's another viral story right now. Tom My algorithm is
now because I'm coaching and I looked up one time,
like drills to do with t ball kids. My algorithm
is all these blowhards that are like, here's the he
was out of. It's all batting stances.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
And how do you know that college baseball player celebrating
with the white line.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
By the way, that's a new celebration. That guy is everywhere.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
You're right, the cocaine snort celebration. That guy should be
applauded for creativity, not for insinuating drug use. But that
was apparently it's a second time it's been done. In soccer,
there was a legendary moment where a soccer player, kneeled
down and did like he was pretending he was snorting.
The line not to condone drug use, but that was

(41:31):
pretty damn creative. No, I mean it was a good one.
He went viral, like we said, and that's viral moment itself. Yeah,
that's how you make it in today's world. Was enough
for whatever punishment he got from the team. I want
you to look up Joey Gallows stats because again he's
all over. My algorithm is baseball time. I'm a baseball fan.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
You say gallow or callo Joey Gallo.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Joey Gallo who was hitting bombs with the Rangers with
the Yankees stunk it up, they got rid of them.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Who Nationals picked them up?

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Then? No, the White Sox in there somewhere in there,
I don't know. He was all, ok, here, we're just
naming teams. Jeez, this guy's been the Banana. He played
for the Bananas for a minute. So Joey Gallop only
thirty one years old for the thirty one years old,
born in nineteen ninety three, So he's a young man.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
He's the same meat as my little brother. That's the
other thing. We have this like We have this belief.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
That because they're superstars, they're larger than life and they're
older than they really are. He's a kid. When he
was born, I was graduating high school. Not to date myself,
but that's the truth. I was ready in college, so
he's really a kid. He's only thirty one, ten years

(42:48):
in the league, already two hundred and eight career home runs.
Joey Gallo never known for his batting average. In fact,
I want to hear it. Embarrass singing stat for a
guy with such power numbers. His career batting average makes
you want to Tracy Morgan blah one ninety four. So

(43:10):
he's on the interstate below it. But again, he did
his He had a two forty home run seasons, almost
three so hitting bombs. He released by the White Sox.
He's a fun fact about him in twenty twenty one.
I don't know if this has ever been done. This
might be one of those trivia night stats. He led

(43:31):
the league a couple of years back in strikeouts and walks.
I don't know if that's ever been done. Matt, think
about that, who would always lead the league in walks?
Got with a good eye and good control, right like
a like a Juan Soto or Tony Gwinn type. You
think those guys ever led the league in strikeouts. I mean, dude,
he's a former All Star, right, Yeah, that's why the

(43:51):
Yankees got him when they got him, but he didn't deliver.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Then he was on the Dodgers and Minnesota and conrestionals released.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
So here's the if I'm wrong, Covino was Gallo the
guy that had such a rough run with the Yankees
that he like apologized and he was all like sad
about it. Yeah it was, Yeah, it was sad. It
was bad, Like he lost his mojo completely. When he
was with the Yankees. He batted one fifty nine twelve
home runs.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Sorry to hear that, I know.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
So he was recently released by the White Sox, and
Gallo announced his plan to transition what to pitching to pitching.
He had expressed interest if things didn't work out with
a major league team, he would start pitching. Is according

(44:41):
to assistant GM Josh Barfield, and according to Joey Gallo.
So now you're seeing all these photos of Joey Gallo,
you know, getting ready to pitch, and he looks frightened
in all the pictures I'm looking at. I'm like, well,
that's not a good start. He needs to put some
confidence on. And you can only root for the guy
because it's a story. I love stories like this. He's

(45:03):
got to reinvent himself at this point. I know you
and I has a cannon. I need a big dude.
I know he has a good arm, and I know
you and I know the answer. So let's see if
Iowa saym or Danny g configured it. And I know
the record buyer probably not. He's a six foot five,
two hundred and fifty pounds beast to don who has
a cannon of an arm.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
So if you can get his mechanics right, you know
he could throw some heat. I know that. Dan Bayer
definitely knows. So does Danny g Or.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I always saying, remember the guy that did the opposite
started as a pitcher and then transitioned to a position player.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
It happened in the last twenty years. He's common knowledge.

Speaker 6 (45:38):
No.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, The cardinal yes initials are a, oh Man, rick
and keel. Yeah. Remember that he was He was a pitcher,
lost his mojo, couldn't find the strike zone, and transitioned
to a position player. Played the outfield, you know, had
a little bit of a run. Joey Gallo is trying
to do the opposite. He's he's a guy that was

(46:00):
hitting forty home runs and he's like, yeah, done with that.
I think I could get on the hill. So you
could only root for this, and it's an interesting story.
Is he throwing junk though? Is that he'd like discover
a knuckleball or something, or is it he's a professional ballplayer.
You got to imagine every stage of his career until
the major leagues, he was probably throwing cheese, throwing gas

(46:24):
in the miners, in high schools. As the story goes,
We've we've talked to him about this back in our
SNY days in New York. Jacob de gram before he
was a cy Young Award winner making forty million plus
with the Rangers. Now, Jacob de Grum was a great
hitter as a pitcher. You know why because in the

(46:45):
miners he was a shortstop and they sort of said, hey,
you got some mechanics and you got an arm, and
they made Jacob de Grum into a picture in the
minor league system. So Joey Gallo just not cutting it
anymore as a hitter in the bigs. Right, his production
has gone down. He said goodbye outfield. There's been a

(47:05):
nice run and he's going to the mound. Let it
be clear. Rooting for him sounds cool. Hope he could
make it work. I doubt it's as easy as it sounds,
just because he has a strong arm. You know, you
can't undermine what real pictures doesn't have accomplished it. You know,

(47:26):
you know, no one in the room has brought up
yet what it really puts some perspective what Otani does.
Oh yeah, yeah, no doubt. That's amazing. Like we're talking about, like, man,
is it possible, Yeah, it's possible. Does a guy that
does it name show Toni at an elite level? But
we're rooting for him. It makes you think though of
other people that reinvented themselves. And it's also inspiring because
sometimes in life, you as a regular fella, have to

(47:47):
do that over and over again. And maybe you've seen
it in your own life. You've seen a family member
lose a job or their positions obsolete because times have
changed and they got to figure out some new sort
of skill, or you know, they put it to the test.
He're like Damn, that was pretty cool. What stories come
to mind for you? And they're always fun, they don't

(48:08):
always pan out. We saw Tim Tebow try to make
that transition and it was fun to see, but it
didn't pan out.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
I got one that definitely comes to mind.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
And we all have, like you said, we have those
personal examples in life like this is not my example,
by the way, but out of college. Buddy, who got
into radio? When when you and I were on our
early days of radio. He was on in Nashville and Pittsburgh.
He was a radio DJ Danny like all of our pals,
you know, growing up radio DJs. He got fired from
his last gig and he's like, I'm done, and now
he owns like salons around the Midwest, like him and

(48:40):
his wife own like seven salons. So people transition from
to job, and you know, it's cool to see someone
have success. Glo's lucky that he's young enough to still.
You know, I'm sticking in baseball at this point. The
basis switch the baseball transition that comes to mind for
me being a National League fan. We saw Smaltzy go
from dominant arder two dominant closer. I mean, maybe you

(49:03):
don't remember it was ticking along those lines too Maddix though,
because he he went just all out crafty after a while,
like some players can't reinvent their game once they lose
their fastball, and then other players they make that that
transition to no, I'm now a knuckleballer, where I'm now
a crafty junk thrower, and it works for them. But yes, Smultz,

(49:24):
he became a dominant reliever for sure. But the crazy
part about Smaltz, honestly, if you have a chance and
you're just putting around later, look at John smaltstats in
the mid to late nineties, like I'll give you nineteen
ninety six, caive you twenty four and eight with a
two nine ERA two hundred and fifty three innings burning

(49:44):
innings Like this guy was eating innings dominant right. There
was a time in the early two thousands fifty five saves,
forty five saves, and then you know what the crazy
part is, he then went back to starting. I don't
know if everyone remembers that's Maltz went back to starting,
and then in two thousand and six he had a

(50:04):
league leading sixteen wins as a starter. So he went
from that'll be like Marianna Riverra being like, you know what,
I'm going to win twenty games now. So that's insane players,
people that just reinvented themselves in this sort of respectable way.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Danny G Yeah, really quick. I was thinking of an
NBA player, Ray Allen. Early on, he was a high
scorer and then he transitioned to being a catch and shoot,
three point specialist.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Three point assassin, transitioned this game. Anyone else come to mind? Yeah,
I mean you think of the sport, and again, it
doesn't even have to be sports, you know, it's just
that pivot that some people need to make sometimes just
to extend their career or to last in the game.
You know, it's not my typical example. But I just

(50:50):
heard this story recently, and I never really knew the
real answer. Like a lot of people criticized boxer Pauli
Mallanaji for not having any power right, and he explained
recently and he's like, no, man, I busted up. I
busted up my hands so many times, and he did too.
I need to reinvent my game. So you know, I
didn't have that not got power anymore. So I was

(51:10):
just going for like I had to be a guy
that just went for the points because he lost the
power in his hand because he broke it and mangled
it so many times. He became a guy that was
that was looking for the big punch to the guy
that was just trying to outpoint everybody using his slick
boxing abilities because he had no other option, you know,
So he did have to reinvent himself. He had no

(51:32):
no longer had a power punch, So I didn't know
that until recently. So it's usually an injury or or
the job is just not even there for you anymore.
Where people have to reinvent themselves, become crafty. And you know,
I wish Joey Gallo all the luck in the world.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah, I think it'll be a fun start to follow it.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
So who else comes to mind when it comes to
reinventing their game their career. I don't know why I
kept thinking about Mike Hampton. I felt like he was
one of those Ricky and kielg rick Kale comes to mind, Yeah,
Deema Samuel comes to mind. Danny g and I were
just talking about this during the break. He used to
be an elite wide receiver that would also carry the
ball and now he's just a mediocre wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
But you know what it is.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
It all stems from having the raw talent yourself. As
it doesn't even have to be in sports. It could
be in everyday life. Like another recent one. Again it's
not my go to example, but Trent Resnor, I keep
seeing this clip was in a band called Slam Bamboo.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
You can look it up.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Trent Reznor of nine inch Nails Slam Bamboo Because at
the time, like new wave, synthpop was the thing. He
was a talented guy in a goober eighties band. But
you know what he's like, I still got talent. I
need to pivot and reinvent myself. He became this this
rock god in the industrial movement, an Academy Award two

(52:54):
yeah like yeah again with his scores and stuff like that.
So a guy that reinvents himself. According to The Times, I.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
Will nominate Jason Kidd. When we knew Jason Kidd coming
from college to the NBA, his nickname was actually Asen
Kid because they said he had no j he had
no jumper, he couldn't score. You look now, he made
himself a three point shooter at the end of his
career and we did a game time or whatever. The
last one standing Jason Kidd is like second all time

(53:22):
and you know, or in top five and three pointers
made in your in the NBA, So it's yeah, he's
one that he adjusted his game.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
And you bring up Trent Rez there.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
I listen. I'm not saying she's at the top of
my list, but how can you ignore the fact that
Beyonce just won Best Country Album at the Grammys me,
because that's debatable.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
It's a horrible example.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, horrible example.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Maybe she paid, she paid for that. Maybe you don't
like it paid for that?

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Travis La, what's up? Travis?

Speaker 7 (53:51):
I kind of agree with he's switching genres a little bit.
Isn't really like a big reinvention. But what I was
gonna say, if Danny j Super producer ever has to
reinvent himself, he can sell bootleg raiders merch on the
Strip's true.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
I mean he does that already. Yeah, the whole story.
Trevor Downtown l A. Well, we'll take one more from Trevor.
They'll play our game.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
What's up, trev Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (54:16):

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Yeah, yeah, right, all right, Andy, stay on the line.
We're gonna send you a swiggy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Earlier in the show, you were saying how you were
concerned about the health of your New York Yankees. It's
really disheartenings when you see so many big names, like
we're talking key players, we're talking the biggest slugger on
the Yankees. No Carlos, And you were talking Garrett Cole,
we're talking the rookie of the year. You got no

(01:01:00):
on the Heel. But I listen, I got no third baseman.
I look at it this way, other than Garrett Cole,
which is a huge loss, but then again, he hasn't
been the best playoff pitcher for you guys, but nonetheless
a big loss. Other than Garrett Cole, all these other
people at some point you would assume will be back
this season and over one hundred and sixty two game
stretch with three wildcards, Dude, Luis Heel is out for

(01:01:22):
three months, I know, but anytime season Schmidt, who knows.
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
I'm just saying when there's.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Gonna be a third wildcard that goes eighty six and
seventy six roughly and slides into the playoffs, and how
wildcard teams have had success. I don't look at it
as man, my team needs to win one hundred games.
Look at the last five plus years of baseball. Yeah,
the Dodgers were dominant last year, but other than a
couple teams that just dominated a lot of times, it's

(01:01:51):
who's hot in October. So when people are worried about
baseball in March and April, it's hard for me not
to be like relax, like I get the can here
with Garrek Cole because he's out and he's your ace.
That sucks. But other than that, if Stanton's back in
six months, you know when that is September, you're still fine.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Like baseball is a long ass season.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
When I say long ass, you ever seen that picture
of John Lennon's long ass with Yoko Ono on that
album cover?

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Somebody stop him?

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
Have you ever seen that? I think the caffeine is
kicking him. Sorry, go on, sorry, no, carry on John
Lennon's ass. Tell us I've never seen that album cover
where they got it's not real, But just saying you
know what I'm man, you guys, By the way, it
really is worth the Google sirt.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
It is rich is not.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
It's so unnecessary to bring up right now, but it's
so worth it. Search John Lennon's long ass crack.

Speaker 5 (01:02:47):
I've seen longer cracks at the Grand Canyon's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
It's a really funny image. But it's Google image. It's
John altered. It has been doctor Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
John, John Lennon's long ass. And the reason I bring
it up is because I said the baseball season is
like So's because of course it's doctored. But John Lennon's
long ass crack. That's how long the season is, Danny g.
It's March. You're chilly. Guess what you're gonna go right now?
You got a little hoodie on?

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
You know why the story is as long as John
Lennon's ass crack. You wear a hoodie? You know why?
You know why, you dumb ass, you're in a hoodie
because it's chili like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
You know, teams don't come down to one game in
those beginning of the season. Games do matter. I know
what you're saying, but it's silly, maybe because you're wearing
a hoodie because it's chilly out. You're gonna go through spring, summer, everything,
and then when it matters, it'll be called against Rich.

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
I feel like Rich cried about the Mets for four
months last year, and they went and look around the far.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
They went memories spot. I was crying about those, like
to give up f the Mets, and then all of
a sudden, Grimace comes out and not to girl, and.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
You know, the destiny's changed.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
So listen, if I were you other than Garrett, call,
just remind you self that's the season is like John
Lennon's as crack long, long and strong, really long, long
and winding road, long and winding.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
The football season's like yokos.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
If you see that image exactly, every game that is
were right goes like football. We'll see you guys tomorrow
at Kobe norn Rich and I will see that everyma there,
Chie Baby.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
See you in the Promised Land. Good Bye, goodbye, guys.
I'm going home.
