thinking about them in sports and in life. Plus, got
to talk about the fights this weekend. I hope you
(02:05):
had a Roly Romero weekend, not an overall boxing sort
of weekend, because boxing had a horrible weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Or did it. We'll explain. I'll explain why did the
boxing game the NBA.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
When you want improvement, you got to stop treating people
like spoiled kids. I'll explain. Game seven's were unbelievable this weekend.
One in particular, like if if you're not even a
big hockey fan, you would to appreciate what the Winnipeg
Jets did.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I mean, every fan of that team was thinking, all right, man,
back to the drawing board next year. Less than two
seconds left, you tie the game, and then you win
in double overtime. A remarkable watch, even if you don't
care much about hockey. Oh mine, it's uh an Apple
Iowa Apple watch. Thanks for asking, but yeah, Rich is
(02:51):
basically saying, I hope you had a Winnipeg Jets sort
of weekend, Not a Ryan Garcia sort of weekend, props
to the Pacers and the war your sort of weekend.
So some great basketball, some great fiestas, some disappointing fights,
and even in the UFC, not that action pack. But
thank you guys. Hope you had a nice holiday weekend.
(03:12):
I say holiday because well, may the fourth be with you.
Lots of Star Wars action, lots of surveys us consider
me Hancholo. Well, Cavino on Rich we start where we
left off, so we're doing Friday show and we were successful.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Not that you care, maybe you do.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
We talked about how at the end of the show
we were all going to stay off our phones for
a couple hours and avoid the fight results and start
them at Kavino's house a couple hours later and have
our fight night. But the New York City Times Square
party had already begun and we said, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm not gonna watch us on my phone.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Cavino, just don't look at your phone for the next
two hours unless that's your daughter or someone texting you.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Let's watch the fights on delay. And yeah, that worked.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So we got to my place and immediately it was
low energy. It's like, what's going on here? And that's
what happens when you fill the place up with not
real fans, just VIPs.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
There's no passion involved.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And the truth of the matter is Turkey alask although
props to his attempt at creating great events. When you're
paying these boxers so much, you're taking the heart out
of it, the desire and fury and fight to win,
because they're just dancing around the whole time, low energy fights,
low energy atmosphere. Only two hundred and three hundred VIPs
(04:31):
were there, which translates to a boring watch for the viewer.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So fatal fury.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
There was no fury involved at all, and the only
fatal thing I saw was the death of boxing over
the weekend, or like I said, was it. I'll explain,
because man, we got some really disappointing fights, and it
really sucks when you're amped up about it. You're paying
ninety dollars for these fights, and then you're inviting people over,
and then when it's a dut of a car, do
you feel responsible as the host? Like, hey, guys, thanks
(05:00):
for coming, but some of the fights were boring. The
Camino is justifying like he's the promoter, but you know
I am the promoter rich because I've been hyping that
up on this show for months. I mean, you know
what I mean, telling friends about it, family about it,
and then you get that you're like, yo, guys, you
really embarrassed me. Yeah, you're embarrassing to me, and you
realize this is prize fighting. You should be fighting for
(05:22):
the prize. And that's where I think you get lost
when you're paying people so much, people get too content
and they get lazy and they lose that fire. I
have a theory about that we're gonna get to in
a little bit. But I mean, you are the boy
that cried Fight of the Year. You, I believe quote
Steve Cavino, Yo, if you're not like watching boxing Friday
nights when you got a watch and you're saying Devin
(05:44):
Han's fighting Ryan Garcia Tiathima Lopez, three of the four Kings, bro,
I mean, how many times did you say three of
the four kings last week? You'd never see a card
with Hearns, Hagler and Duran. That disappointing, Dude, I told
you three kings. I'd rather say Haku King Harley racing
the Macho King. Like this was the weakest crap I've
ever seen. And I will say, sometimes on paper something
(06:09):
looks cooler than it ends up being. I'm not saying
the UFC at the Sphere in Las Vegas was a fail,
but I remember thinking that was gonna be a lot
cooler than it was if you said the Tyson Jake
Paul fight. I mean, we thought that was gonna be,
you know, way cooler. And I think when you heard
Times Square outdoors some of the biggest names. Yeah, there
(06:32):
were cool moments where it's like, oh, look, Tia Femo
is getting out of an old school taxi cab on
his way to the ring and Michael Buffer is there
and yo, the return of Jim Lampley and Mike Tyson
was part of the announcing crew. That was the highlight.
To be honest, we said, there's two highlights on this
past weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I feel about this fight. The fight is kind of
confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Actually, the highlights were Roly Romero with the upset, the
return of Jim Lampley, who himself admitted it was a
snooze feast and was great with Tarvor. Yeah, he was
great with Tarvar. Their chemistry. But the return of Lampley
was great. And the big winner was Carlos Bake Shop
because it got lots of airtime in the background.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
In the background from Times Square, Buddy the cake Boss
was really pumped.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He was the big winner of the weekend. But Jim Lampley,
who like returned to form and it made you realize
his voice is so synonymous with big fights.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And he was honest.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He said, if there was ever a fight that might
make you want a snooze, take a little nap. This
is the law because Devin Hany, Now we're talking about
Devin Haney, Ramirez, Devin Haney. They say PTSD from getting
knocked down from Garcia. But here's the guy trying to
redeem himself and he's dancing around, running around the whole time.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Ramirez couldn't even get to him.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, so, man, talking about disappointing, and again you have
people over, you're trying to have a great time. These
guys are paying, getting paid lots of money to do
what and it's just disappointing for everybody when boxing needs
it most. And then it continued Saturday night, Canelo Alvarez
gets in the ring again with an overpaid opponent, skulls
(08:07):
there dancing around the whole time. Boring fight made three
million dollars for what doing the moonwalk the entire time?
You want to see a fight? That's that's what it is,
right a fire or is it dancing with the stars?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And that.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Is disappointing On a holiday weekend, it's the biggest fight
weekend of the year.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Luckily, I think it was saved or was it? No,
not at all?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You said this to me earlier, and I'm like, no
one watches ESPN Plus Sunday Night fight. Well, it was
a great fight on Sunday night, the pound for one
of the pound for pound bests. In a way, none
even knows that guy. You sound foolish. Don't even say
that because he's one of the best in the game
for years. Dude just said, the other guys are the
best in the game. In a way, it fights game.
There's different weight divisions. You clown, so in a way,
(08:55):
fought Cardenas Sunday night as part of a big fight.
We keep watching game seven's hockey or in basketball, or
you think they're watching in a way on ESPN Plus,
will you snorting pixie sticks before you came here? Let
me finish for him to say, at least all hyped up,
you can't win in a way one even when he
thought he wouldn't. This guy Cardenas gets in the ring,
(09:16):
knocks down in a way second time in his career,
in a way comes back in a battle. Again, this
is Sunday night. My point in bringing this up is
this was a Sunday Night fight and it was one
of the best fights I've seen in a long time,
and it was on ESPN Plus and nobody saw it.
So I agree with you in a way. In a way,
you get a car in a way, thought came back,
(09:39):
fought like a real champion, two people really fighting with
pride on the line, fighting for the prize, a real battle,
and people are like, oh man, thank god, we got
at least one good fight. But you know who saw that,
just real true boxing fans. No one else saw that.
It was on ESPN Plus. When you mentioned great basketball,
great hockey, the last of us, a bunch of other
(09:59):
things going on on a Sunday night, who was really
watching that? Actually I agree with Rich but he didn't
even let me say it. You know, I agree with him.
It was a great fight, but nobody watched the fights
we were hyped for and paid ninety bucks for wah Wa.
So it's just really disappointing as a fighter. You know
what you're the question is, how do you fix it?
You might have answered, well, you're you're the fool that
(10:23):
bought into you watch all these crap fights with garbage.
But just because Terrence Crawford comes out there and he's like,
oh wow, Canelo Crawford's gonna happen in September. Are you
gonna fall for the bait again? That's where I'm getting at.
So was it a disappointing weekend? Was it redeemed in
two ways? It was? On Saturday, after the Canelo fight,
(10:45):
they announced that Canelo Crawford's finally happening. And what's wild
about it is Crawford's coming up in wait to one
sixty eight to fight Canelo.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yet he's the bigger guy. That's what's crazy about it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Crawford's coming up in wait to finally fight the super
fight for the super middleweight championship one sixty eight. Yet
he's bigger than Canelo. But he's mean mugging Canelo. Canal's
smirking at him, and You're like, this is what it's about.
Because these these two guys have too much dogging them,
too much fighting them. To give you a disappointing fight,
(11:18):
it has to be a great fight. If not, that
is the fatal fury of boxing. That's the final punch
for boxing. That's the death of boxing if this doesn't deliver.
So it was announced that that fight's going down one
sixty eight on September twelfth. Canelo Crawford so there's something redeeming.
And then of course the Sunday night fight.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
That nobody saw.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I don't know how you fix this, and I'll give
you my analogy. I'll give you my analogy. When you
pay NBA players forty fifty sixty million dollars a year
and you allow load management to happen, I know, the
NBA sort of, you know, put the smack down a
little bit. When you pay boxers a huge purse from
(11:59):
Chic Ali about his name is Turkey Ala Chic, his excellency,
mind you Turkey Ala king Ah. That on riye Turkyo
tool from Benigans Bennigan's was fantastic. But if this the
CHIC is paying tens of millions of dollars, if Sheba don't,
if the NBA is paying tens of millions of dollars,
(12:20):
but the players and fighters get away with this, they
will not change. It's like my kids. If I tell
my kids, yo, hey, stop fighting, listen to dad. If
you don't stop listening, I'm gonna take away your Pokemon
cards and your iPads. If they know that Dad's not
really gonna take away their iPads, they're not gonna listen.
(12:40):
And what motivation. Do these fighters have to put on
a fight when tell me the last time they was like, wow,
that's a fight last Sunday this Sunday night in a
way versus Cardinas. Dude, it was Sunday Night on ESPN plus.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It was a bad upside that someone watched, Like when was.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It the big paper Connor and a big pay per
view bag you know two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'll tell a big pay per view pipe fulfilled like
in his room, those other than you.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean, these are big names, bro, just because you
don't know them in boxing or in fighting, these are
big names. I'm talking about big names that like Danny,
Dan Bayer, Me Samuel and we're sports fans, like we
know that the last one. I don't know the last one,
but thank you. But I watched so many good fights, dude,
so you're asking the wrong guy. It's just that these
are the fights that even the casual fans should be
(13:31):
pulled into, and they they're duds. So that's what makes
it bad. You got actual fight fans saying, you know, dude,
you got to watch this one, I think, and then
it doesn't deliver. It doesn't look good for boxing, I'll admit, it,
But how do you fix it?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Right? That's the question. Box.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
No, the Turkey alis Chic guys doing everything he can
to provide a great event, but he's overpaying these dudes.
These are paydays that that these fighters have never seen.
If he made them more ko incentive or punched that
incentive or knock down incentive incentivized, maybe you'd see more
of a battle instead of just handing out millions of
(14:07):
dollars to these dudes. Hey, listen, if you get a knockout, Hey,
if you knock this dude down, Hey, if you hit
X amount of punches on the punch that, maybe you
incentivize the payday. It's prize fighting. He could do whatever
he wants. He's paying these dudes an exorbitant amount of
money to do what so he could call the shots
if he wants to. And I think after that it
only seems like they're taking advantage of this dude. He
(14:28):
has to do something like that if he's going to
really change the game. Plus, Dana White could also change
the game. You know he's involved now, and he's also
involved in the promotion of Canelo Crawford. I'm hearing, so
he's gonna do something to fix it. They gotta do
something to fix it. You gotta incentivize you mentioned your kids,
just anybody, basketball players, fighters. When people are spoiled like that,
(14:51):
they lose their hunger, their desire, their fury, and that
goes to anything in life. You want to see the
lazy guy at the office. He's overpaid, he's content, he's
not working hard. He lost that hunger. I see it
all the time. Why do people get lazy because they
have no incentive? How many times as a husband get
a gut and stop being romantic for his wife? How
(15:13):
many times as a wife put on a couple pounds
and stop shaving or legs. So, if these dudes are
making millions and millions of dollars just for showing up,
of course they're going to dance around because he doesn't
want to get his ass beat by Canelo. And I'm
saying he's not as easy as you think to correct this.
So it is because he's the guy paying them. You
think the Sheikh could just come out and be like, yeah,
she don't.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Like it, like rock the Casba. He don't like you
like it?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well, Alpharez Crawford is going to be at a Legion
Stadium in Vegas. So right off the bat, that's going
to be so much better. We missed that crowd noise.
You guys. Buddy who was there?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He told us, He said, man, this feels like a
COVID event.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well that's what Alay. He's like, Yodas reminds me COVID.
But that was one of the first things that Ryan
Garcia said. You don't want to make excuses for the kid,
because I mean, dude, after that long year layoff and
all the criticism you got about Ostereen, and if there
was ever a time to prove that you were still
the guy, it was that weekend, right He said. It
felt surreal, like it felt like a sparring match because
(16:13):
there was no real fans there, so you lose a
little bit of the authenticity when you try to put
on a spectacle. Unfortunately, So yeah, props for trying, but
it didn't work out. All in all, was a failed experiment.
And I gave you my suggestions. We got that Canelo fight.
There was a good fight on Sunday. How do you
(16:33):
fix the problem? Are we just suckers?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Though?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
To say, I think the Canelo fight's gonna be dope.
The Crawford Canelo fight's gonna be a real good fight,
I'd like to think, because these are two dudes that
don't back down, and they don't back up. I'm just saying,
we thought the fights on Friday were gonna be good.
We thought the Saturday fight was gonna be good. How
many times does the fight have to suck? How many?
How many times before it's just like, all right, dude,
(16:58):
I'm not gonna watch true?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Oh yeah, no, I look again.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Because these are the ones that you got casual fans
tuning into, you expect them to deliver. There are great
fights in between. I mentioned Connor Ben Chris Hubank that
was two weeks ago. It was one of the most
fantastic fights. It just wasn't big enough names for the
casual fan. So great fighting exists. It's just incentivize the prize,
(17:23):
the payday, because there's no reason face someone to be
embarrassed if they're getting paid millions of dollars. Anyway, fans
have been saying that for years. Could the sheikh be
the guy that does it? How many times have you thought,
I don't mind these athletes getting paid tens of millions
of dollars, but uh A, what if a professional baseball
player was incentivized where it's like, if you hit forty
(17:45):
more home runs, that's what another ten mil kicks in,
or hey, one hundred.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Got to just based on results. Man, it would be collusion.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But if all the teams got together and said, hey,
we gotta make this incentive based now, I don't know
where you would even start. I guess the shek can
because it's his ownly, his excellency. Yeah, I make it.
Make it happen that way. Otherwise you're people are not
going to want to buy the pay per view If
that's the result we're getting. We're getting these lazy, low
energy fights with lazy, low energy fans. So that was
the weekend guys. It was really disappointing. I agree with
(18:16):
rich on that Devin Haney because tia Fimo fought great.
Barbosa couldn't do anything to him, though, so it was
a dominating fight, kind of boring. It was the first
fight no one cared. Devin Hany Ramirez was one of
the worst fights ever, to the point where Jim Lampley
couldn't pretend and lose his own credibility in pretending that
(18:36):
it was a good fight. He admitted that it was
a snoozefest. Even Mike Tyson was at a loss for words. Yeah,
I don't know what to say right now because there
was nothing to say. So Yeah, devn Haney Ramirez I
think was the worst fight because Devin Haney just ran
the whole time again a guy with tons to prove,
and then Ryan Garcia just got his ass whooped by
(18:58):
Roli Romero and didn't do anything. So disappointing weekend of fights. However,
props to the Pacers and the Warriors because we're also
comparing it to NBA playoffs, which is heating up right now.
But that was sort of my point, like, yeah, if
it's not going to deliver, you think anyone.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Like all the two game sevens in the NBA were
both kind of snoozers. They are the standout game I
was trying to convince you guys to turn it on.
Last night was the double overtime Winnipeg Jets game.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
When you know there's a fine, fine woman who you've
had your eye on for a long time, you finally
get with her and it's a dut and you're like,
what that's how you felt?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It's not what I had in mind. Man, she brought
no action? What is going on here?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, your dog Theo had more energy than all the
boxers combined.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
My dog Theo was more exciting and entertaining. My dog
Theo humping on Danny G's leg was more fun than
watching these fights. Seriously, he had more fun than anybody.
I mean, think how the company was going. And I
have a story that I'm gonna I'm gonna save our
Friday night because the fight's stunk. But there was a
story and this is a great what would you do?
(20:09):
And it has to do with pizza, And I can't
tell you the last time I've been this aggravated. Tell us, please, though,
to wrap up this ound of the story, how much
you paid for the pizza? Because it really adds to
the disappointment. Before you tell us what hell, I'll tell
you how much I pay for the pizza. And then
I have a story when we come back and between.
(20:29):
And then here's the problem nowadays with Pizzeri is I
don't want to sound like an old guy. Nowadays, I
call the Pizzeri we love yeah, my guy. We don't
got delivery guys, so you're gonna have to go through
Uber Eats. Or grub Hub or door dash, which stinks
because that's like you're adding a step, and you're adding
a step of someone that doesn't give a crap, Like
(20:49):
if you work at a restaurant, you want to make
sure your food gets to the person quick and fresh, door.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Dash, Uber Eats, grub Hub. I don't trust to any
of this, which is why I never use it. But
I had to. And after all the fees, taxes, tip
which they make you include old on we have exclusive
audio rich that'll be uh ninety four dollars close not
far off.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Two pies, a large regular pizza, large cheese, and a
large Sicilian seventy eight dollars. I did the quick math.
Seventy eight dollars for two pies plus the ninety nine
dollars we paid for the fight. It's one hundred and
seventy seven dollars. Good math, bro, You need to calculated
for that. But you know how good that pizza has
(21:35):
to be to even balance out the disappointment of that night.
You get all your friends together for this level of disappointment.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's it's horrible, but that's a lot of money to spend.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
This pizza story is a top level John ki yonees,
what would you do? And I'll tell you that story next.
And of course we'll get into a bunch of sports.
What does Aaron Rodgers doing? This guy engaged or what
is he gonna play in the NFL? We'll talk some
NFL I know Danny g love Aaron Rodgers. We'll talk
about some of those game sevens. We'll talk NBA playoffs
and all all fun stuff coming up here on Sinko DeMaio.

and match all you on hit pick six and that's
twenty five times your cash and if you beat your competition,
(22:54):
you can be looking at five hundred times your bag
in your pocket. You'll give you another one joker. What

We'll thank us later. Thanks again to Travis Matthew. But yeah,
these fights, man, how do you fix them? They were
so weak? But we did get the Canelo Crawford announcement.
(24:55):
We did get a good fight on Sunday that had
nothing to do with the previous card we talked about.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
But you said it the coolest part of the whole
thing was an announcement.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah it was. It was a disappointing weekend of fights. However,
you had your Derby. Maybe you made some money, you
had some great basketball. I'll tell you what ratings was
the Kentucky Derby highest rating since nineteen eighty nine, seventeen
plus million people. Wow, so people were interested in the
funny house Kryptonite?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Come on? Yeah, and a peanut allergy was involved. Yes,
I know.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah. We might get to that if we have time.
But your phone calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox?
How do you fix these disappointing fights? Plus Rich has
a story? This heat's the story. Everything about fight night
was disappointing. Johnny Minnesota has that your answer? Hey, Johnny,
he's gonna solve boxing.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What's up, Johnny? You're on the CNR show.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Oh you got can you hear me loud and clear? Oh?
I'm from Minister, that's way up north dog. So anyways,
that why why don't they put boring fights on like
that everybody knows what's gonna happ and as good outcomes
already foreseen. And the best fight of the year so
far was, like I said earlier this afternoon, Mike Tyce
(26:10):
beaten some YouTube dude up from Nickelodeon What's Up?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And that fight sucked. So it's not saying a whole lot,
but again, these are there's a lot of good fights
that just aren't as highly promoted. In between, good fighting exists,
but those fighters are actually fighting for something, their prize,
to be a name in the sport, to get out
of poverty.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They're fighting for something.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
These dudes we saw over the weekend, they're not fighting
for anything.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
That's why you get low energy out.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I promise you if people and I wonder if the
pay per view numbers stunk or they were great, we'll
find out. But if people hadn't paid for those fights,
you're turning them off like they were that bad. And
you know, NBA, NHL way more exciting. The fact that
we're talking about boxing is because of the letdown. It
needs to be fixed. However, as the meme goes, sorry,
(26:59):
Houston Rockets fans, you got the number two seed, went
all this way not to lose to Steff but to
Buddy Healed.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Some exciting basketball, for sure. But Rich, don't forget you
promised the pizza story. So we were hanging out with
our guy. It was me, Danny G. Rich, our buddy Al,
and our buddy Pete Pizza Pa. So this is where
he gets aggravating as could be. So I ordered the
pizza ahead of time to get to Kvenas. I'm leaving
my daughter's dance class, and I'm like, all right, comino
(27:29):
by my way. Danny G's on his way. Perfect, we'll
watch the fights. I ordered the pizza at five point thirty.
This is all unnecessary info, but it makes sense because
you'll be even more aggravated. Ordered it at five point thirty.
They said six p twenty delivery. I said, perfect, that's
around the time we were all getting to Covenos. Anyway,
six twenty, I get an alert on the phone again,
as I said before, after what is it? Seventy eight
(27:49):
dollars or two pizzas? Sorry it's now six forty. I'm like, oh,
twenty minutes. I find that's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Six point fifty seven o'clock inching up like a traffic app.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Dude, it's it's like the minutes on ways when you're
waiting for your car. Like this the longest seven minutes ever.
Finally it's seven point fifteen an hour and a half hour.
Forty five minutes later, a buzzer for Cavino's condo. Oh,
pizza is here. Guy can't figure out the door, so
I'm like, I'll go down and get the pizza. Maggravated
to begin with, I look over Covino's balcony and I'm like, Na,
(28:29):
my eyes must be deceiving me because I think I
see something. I'm like, no, this can't be true. I
must not be seeing this correctly. I go to Cavino's
front door. This pizza delivery guy has our two pizzas.
Dan Byer, Iowa Sam Danny Gen knows the story, I
ask you not. He's holding these pizzas under his arm
(28:52):
like a track books. Yeah, like they're LPs, Like like
he's carrying his social studies verdict. Like he's carrying a
surfboard vertical pizza boxes.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I damn lose my mind I'm like, your guy, have
you ever f held a pizza box in your life?
I opened the pizza.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
They've slid all to one side and everything's he's half crusted.
And this guy apathetic, He apathetically looks at me. He
apathetically looks at me like, hey, my friend, what do
you want me to do? I'm like, again, I don't know,
hold it the proper way, I said to this guy.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Not a whole lot, just the right way, that's all.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
And I'm a pretty calm guy with customer service and
delivery people.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I said to him multiple times, like, are you efing
kidding me? Have you ever in your life?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
There's no excuse for that. Held the pizza box ties together?
Is people not caring? It is buttic. That's like you
get your money back kind of egregious. No, but it's
a third party guy. He doesn't care about the company,
he doesn't care about your experience. He's acting like he's
never held a box of pizza in his life. We
don't know want it, and that's what he does for
a living. We don't want a calzone. We want pizza.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
We don't want to fold it over.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
By the way, I it didn't dawn on me rich
because I'm not a grub hub kind of guy or
door Dash whatever company is. I didn't realize that they
almost completed door trash. Door Trash is right. They cut
out the middleman, so it actually an actual delivery guy
from the pizza place is non existent.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
But your job is to deliver the food intact. Like
it's very basicure thing.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So two layers to this again, it would be like
someone delivering a birthday cake, a sheet cake and holding
it inside face to me, it's like have you ever
held a pizza box? But I do ask a question
before we move on. You go to damn buyer's update,
as John king Yonis would say.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
What would you do?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
You wait an hour and a half for pizza and
the guy's holding him like I said, like social studies books.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I mean, you want to karate kick the guy. But
that's not a proper thing. You can't do anything with
door Dash. But I would call the pizza company and
I would say.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Hey, listen, here's what happened, man. This is how you're
being represented. Man, Yes, that is true. They have the
right to know that. Yeah, not even to get money
back or anything. I think I'm gonna call him today him. No, listen,
I don't need anything free that you should Yeah, that's
that's a good point. I think you should too, Yeah,
that you want anything. Because luckily he still tasted good
because it because it was so late already nothing melted off.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, I said.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
The benefit was is that it was it was like,
already get a little cold, because this guy stunk so
much that like he probably made five stops before he
came toast, Like I benefited from the pizza not being
fresh out the oven.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
So I ask you, what would you do other than.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Want to karate kick this guy and not do it,
probably take take away the tip.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I just couldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I went on the app and I'm like, I pulled
Dave Portnoy and and killed him with kindness. Yeah, I'm like,
you know what, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna try
to be the better man.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Maybe he had a bad day.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Maybe this guy's never seen a pizza box in his life.
Maybe he's from another planet.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
In the words of Rob Parker being quoted by Steve
di Seger, or maybe h reverse that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I ain't pain paid for that and it was just
the disappointing icing at a disappointing fight night.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
So that was it. That was the fight weekend.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
But again, Derby basketball, there was a lot of other
highlights we're going to get to. And speaking of highlights,
our boy, Damn Byer's got some right now, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
We got some We got some takeout pizza with some
other stuff last night from a spot and when I
was carry out, I picked it up and I felt
like there was a manager there. So I told the
guys that go, we come to this spot special, Oh
thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Maybe the manager will here shoot the guys right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Do you ever have that chicken that's just it's not
rubbery because it's overcooked. It's just like that tight.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Something something's wrong with it.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Yes, half of our bonus chicken was like that. It
was atrocious. Every bite is like you don't want to
like bite because you don't know what you're gonna bite.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
It was. It was. It was awful.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
And so I called him back and said I lied.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I lied. That did not happen.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Uh tonight, no ordering pizzas Tonight Eastern Conference Semi Finals,
Game one, Nickson Celtics Man Taco. Maybe tomorrow, maybe on
a Tuesday Nixon Celtics seven o'clock Eastern time, nine thirty

And the big news breaking within the past hour, the
Baltimore Ravens have release kicker Justin Tucker after thirteen seasons,
eight of those in all pro. The teams that I
released the statement announcing the release, GM and Executive VP
Eric DaCosta called it a football decision. Sixteen massage therapists
have accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior from sessions from
(34:13):
twenty twelve to twenty sixteen in the Baltimore area. Again,
Justin Tucker released by the Ravens today. Guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Big hill. You think he'll kick this year? Someone will
pick him up? Or what? Too much drama? No?
Speaker 6 (34:25):
No, I don't touch you. Yeah, no, who wants that.
The Ravens are letting him go. I mean for anything
that has a connection to him. By the way, he
also hasn't been as good as he once was, not
saying that played into it.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
But in the NFL, there's a step. Yeah, yeah, yes, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And plus Rich, if it was like one or two people,
you may think, yeah, well, let's see what happens, right,

things that we've talked about that I want to just
sort of give you a follow up on. So many
times we talk about something, there's updates. But much like everyone,
we've moved past the story, right, And that happens a
lot where there's a hot story and that it's like,
(37:18):
oh yeah, whatever happened with Mike last week? We talked
about Abdul Carter and at first him asking for LT's number,
and Lawrence Taylor is like, nah.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
He with grace. Yeah, he said lose my number, bruh.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
And then Phil Simms giants legend I say that kindly
said hey, dude, you can have number eleven if you want.
Apparently Phil Simms was outvoted, out voted by his family.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Said no, no, you're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
So now Abdul Carter so like, man, I don't got
no number? What have I just got my shirt.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
On my back with my name? Just kidding.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
He'll find his own number, which I think is the
right path for this young man. Anyway, he's gonna be
a great player in the NFL. Get your own number.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Number two.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Remember when Joe Burrow had his house unfortunately broken into,
and everyone's like, oh wow, his employee Olivia Ponton, the supermodel,
and it was like, wait, what she doing hanging around
Burrow's house. She's the one that reported it to nine
one one when they were away. Well, he shut up
to a Miami hotspot with her for the weekend. Andon's like, yeah,
(38:21):
look at him with his employee. Then there's a house sitter. Yeah,
his house sitter. They're looking all happy. So Joe Burrow
enjoying his offseason. And Aaron Rodgers, I'll say, we talked
about the Kentucky Derby. Yeah, highest ratings in over thirty
something years. Wow, Aaron Rodgers had what appeared to be
(38:44):
a wedding ring on and God Danny g hates nothing
more than Aaron Rodgers' speculation.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
But you have thirty seconds to talk about it. Maybe
it's a promise rate. You don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Aaron Rodgers not only has he not made a decision
on the Steelers yet, even his best.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Bros like McAfee and aj Hawk, they're all like.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeo, bro, we don't know. We don't know what's going
on with this guy. So is Aaron Rodgers married? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Is he gonna play in the NFL? Maddid? Who knows?
Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2 (39:13):
A mystery of the world, And speaking of Belichick over
the weekend, I saw.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Man, this story doesn't go away.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
GGI Hadid and Bradley Cooper now a couple and there's
a twenty year age difference. And to that, Belichick's like,
all right, hold my beer. Yeah, but twenty years way different, right,
way different, And optically it's not as bad.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, no doubt undressed, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
But hey, as we look at your feedback, let's take
one quick phone call from Ryan and the cues said
he had a thought on the pizza story.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
As you heard last hour, our.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Pizza showed up and the guy's holding him like textbooks
pizza boxes.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
What's up? Right?
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (39:51):
I just wanted to call in and mention that Third
Rock from the Sun back in the nineties starring John Liscow.
It a bit where he would come home with a
pizza and set it down on the table vertically and
open the box. Ruined every time.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
And they were.
Speaker 7 (40:12):
Right, they didn't know, and so that just made me
think of it.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Wait a second, So what you're saying is we were
visited by aliens.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Oh my god, that makes the story way cooler. You
just made our Friday story way colder. Rich was he
like eight or nine feet all with big eyes?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Oh my god, Danny, you know what. We had terrible
fights to watch, but we got pizza. Delivered from an alien. Yeah,
that's pretty cool after all.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
More Cinar
