So I saw the trailer for this Hazardous History, like
how people used to smoke on airplanes and play with
blonde darts and my yes, yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
People used to use asbestos as fake snower on the
holidays all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Hazardous History set the DVR ten ninth Central this Sunday

Speaker 1 (02:26):
What do you feel about all that? By the way,
everything everything.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I look at you and I figure your music knowledge
and Yankee knowledge, and that's it. It's funny you say
that because I look at you and I realized I
don't talk about any of those things because you know
nothing about it. That's how I feel about it.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I feel like I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Wasting my breath and they're talking about anything other than
I get it Sports with Rich You don't want to

of Hazardous History with Henry Winkler, And it's my fourth series, fourth.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Difference he's been a part of. So look out for me.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
And my favorite place to be is right here on
Fox Sports Radio with you guys, and we're getting ready
for midweek Major and Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom. By
the way, any final thoughts on Roman Anthony's good looking sister.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Do you think it's.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Distracting fun to stale fun for the family. Her Instagram
tally has doubled, Like is there more than doubled?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Is there something there or no? Or do you think
the family gets a kick out of it? Or like, oh,
your sister the think of this.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
He's a big leaguer, so it's not like he suffers
from this at all. It's like the weenie in high
school has the hot sister, because he's always the weenie
with the hot sister. This kid's in the big leagues.
It doesn't really matter. It's just you know, they're a
blessed family at this point. It's like, well, they're the
big leaguer kid and they have a hot daughters.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
The NFL.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's like at the NFL Draft wind there's always like
a hot mom or hot sister that just happens to
be cheering on.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's like, wait a minute, pause, who's that.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Roman Anthony also smash the double yesterday, drove in a
run and his mom was there all teary eyed, and
it was a nice moment. So we're seeing some young
superstars called up really early. These are really young kids
between that kid from Kansas City, Like I said, Jack gagleon.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Denzel Clark for three weeks, Roman Anthony.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Kidds, baseball's having a moment, superstars, the young kids. We're
gonna get back to the stage where you can name
a few players on each team. And I call it
the old starting lineup days where when you were a
kid in the eighties or nineties, you can name a
team and you knew the star players.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
There was a minute in baseball where you're like, I
don't really know many guys.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That's true, man, and I love every second of it.
By the way, side story to Piggyback, what Rich is
saying is, as we see low ratings in the NBA finals,
I imagine, right, even though it's been a great battle
so far, I'm not knocking the NBA, but MLB's ratings
are really skyrocketing, which is crazy because they're losing that
deal with ESPN. So we're seeing the MLB ratings really

(05:06):
going through the roof with all these young superstars. Baseball's
on the rise, NBA on the downslide. Some people say, hey,
small markets in the playoffs, your boy Klay Travis said,
it's the woke nature of the NBA.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Did you see that, Danny.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, it's probably a better possibility that it's two small
market teams, But we'll see what happens in Indiana tonight.
I think the Pacers are going to show up. That's
going to turn into a long series. I think.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I think it's the fact that the fact that it's
at Indiana is a great setting for Game three, being
that it's one one, because if it was two oh
and I don't know, then there, then they're they need it,
but they gelt split in Indiana, and sure.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
I also think this that it's not necessarily this small
market for the median you know aspect of it. But
it also just tells you on how much the superstars
matter and may tell you a little bit about Sga
on if he is that guy that will transcend that.
There's been a lot of talk lately about it, and
I feel that it's kind of been fake because there
hasn't been a lot to talk about. But I think

(06:05):
this tells you a little bit where if it was
Cleveland with Lebron, we're obviously watching because it's Lebron. For
that aspect, the schedule hasn't helped either, just a lot
of time between games.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
But I agree with everything you just said, Dan, and
I agree with other people that have said, you know,
you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth.
You can't say we don't want these super teams and
these major market teams. Rick is a real leaner.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
You can't talk out of both sides.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
You But you can't say we don't want these super
mega teams with stars in big markets. And then when
you get the two homegrown small market teams that aren't
paying a luxury tax, you like these teams do?

Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I agree with you one dred percent, Like what do
you want?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Do you know who they're giving a lot of the
credit in the MLB two besides all the obvious young
superstars we mentioned, no big credit. It starts with superstars.
It really starts with well, who is the draw Shoho
Tani worldwide superstar and Aaron Judge, who is a guy
that moves.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
The needle show?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Hey Otani, dude, when he gets his last that bat
in at a game, the stadium clears because they're all
there to see that guy. And it's happening in every stadium.
It's like like it starts rainy or something. Everybody gets
up out of the see Aaron Judges is less at bat,
or I'm gonna go beat the traffic.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
They don't leave all right.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Because of the popularity they've created, all these other young
superstars are getting that extra shine, so baseball is capitalized.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
I feel like it was about a decade, maybe eight
years since I last just went to a regular season
baseball game with the Dodgers a few months ago, and
when Otani came up, I had my phone up in
all four of his at bats. You know, so the
same thing you're saying with Judge, like the same thing
with Otani. I was the same in the same field,
just to.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Say you saw it right, Yeah it too, you like
my phone?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I got two people at bat then I snapped the
photo off Aaron Judge in Shohio Tani. I was that
the Mets Dodgers game, and no joke, I did Soto
and Otani and there's the Lindors of the world. So
I mean not to sleep on the other superstars.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
And it feels like the Pacers need Halliburton to have
another big clutch moment tonight to show some star power.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well yeah, what we're seeing in the NBA is the
I guess, the beginning or the start of what could
be could be superstars in the future.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
So hey, I'm excited about games.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Like when I play rex softball, when I'm done my
last at bat, like the eight people leave.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Let me ask you this before we get to my
chords of wisdom, which will be quick. I do want
to ask.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I was Sam, You're a huge Kaitlyn Clark fan, and
she's been on the IL which has really done damage
to the w NBA ratings and ticket prices, viewership. Take
the prices like it was like hundreds of dollars in
a you could get it. I think they pay you
to go to the games. Now, yes that's true. I'm
not true, but I think it's like three bucks. You
could get a cup of coffee, you could caramel machiato.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Costs more, you get a bubblehead.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is Kaitlyn Clark still a bigger start in that state?
If the Pacers win the NBA finals, Man.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Haliburton a bigger star than Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
If the Pacers find they would to win, He's done
some incredible things, Man, I don't know it's a tough one.
I would say no, only because she's someone responsible for
bringing an attention, attention to an entire league.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
I think in that if you're just keeping it in
the state of Indiana, though, everyone's minds are going to
be on the Pacers and on Halliburton and Siakam and
all their great players. And I think in the moment
for at least the summer, because there's seasons just getting started,
so I think it'll be a hot summer.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Is that we've hot Sacam summer. That's so stupid. Enjoy
your NBA.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Finals tonight, and uh get will better Caitlin Clark for
the sake of a whole league that is depending on you.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
It seems to be. But let's do it.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Mike's words of wisdom. We do this every Wednesday. Big
Mike wu runs this place.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Listen closely. He shares his words wisdom. You repeat them verbatim,
word for word, and you win a Caveno on Rich
Swiggy eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Listen and
call now, Oh, it's time for the guy that runs
this place.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
It's big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Patience is what you have when there are too many witnesses.
That's so easy.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
But I'm trying to figure out what it might not get.
I'm trying to figure out what it means.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I know what it means, like when you're by yourself
and no one's around, you have a short feu Yes, when.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
There's a lot of people around, you don't embarrass yourself
having short fews.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Rich was born with a short fuse, So let's be fair.
That was a good one, Davis Davis. Yeah, all right,
so we're inch worm Davis.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
You had interim Davis was a good one.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
CNR.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
We're not even gonna need the five contestants, right, because
I'm sure the first contestant is going to get this.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, whoever the lucky duck is it calls in first
and repeats Mike's words of wisdom verbatim. You'll get a
free cavino and Rich swigging while we wait for that.
Let me remind everyone one more time. A week from Friday,
the twentieth of June. Oh boy, we're going to be
having so much fun. Pull Side live broadcast at Stadium
Swim at Circa.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
That a Friday night party at the rooftop lounge.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, I'm excited about that Saturday Atomic golf with a brunch.
Hold on, it is a whole fireworks spectacular that Friday
night from the rooftop.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Would you hire the Groucie Brothers.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, and I think Robin Thicke is actually performing outside
that night. So big party night in Vegas at Circa.
So we're bringing that party to you on Fox Sports
Radio if you can't make it, but we'd love to
see you out there. All right, let's go to the
first guy through. Yeah, it should be online one with
John and Idaho Falls. John, do you think you know

(12:17):
Mike's words of wisdom?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I do? All right, hold on, wait for your music.
That's going to make you sound very smart. Here we go.
Patience is what you have when there are too many witnesses.
That's a winner. That's a winner. Oh, I finally get them. Like,
if you lose your cool, you'll be you'll kill everyone. Okay,

(12:41):
he's easy.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
John.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
We're gonna mail a swiggiatzi there in Idaho Falls.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
All right, that's interesting from Mike because as you get older,
you have no patience. My dad goes to get a haircut,
and if there's two people sitting there ahead of them.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
He's like, I got I'm leaving two people.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, I'm serious, my dad, My dad, I'll come back,
and he's got like, you know, the hair's all grown out,
like Ben Franklin on the sides, like that, you're gonna
get a haircut.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, it would do many people today.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
But then it goes in reverse once you have another
little kid, Cove, I hope you join Rich and I
with you know, another toddler in your life.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I hope so too. Just her perspective. I can't
wait for communal change diapers again one day.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Uh care Coe's new thing. He loves markers and colored markers.
He's been coloring with He's lefty and right so he's
got a colored marker in both hands and this morning
he was coloring his tongue.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think we're gonna say the couch because my kid
has colored our couch. So that's why they make them
non toxic.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Fly man, you know it's funny you speak about patience.
I shouldn't have given him my black marker from patients.
He or she who masters patience could master anything, and
you're you're right about how you got better quote than Mike.
We go through stages of patients and you could talk
about this. Honestly, you could tie anything into sports because
a fan base. If you can master the patience of
a rebuild and what it takes to win, you gotta

(13:58):
trust the process as a Yeah, sometimes trusting the process
doesn't work, but patience is very difficult in sports, in marriages,
with your kids and your job. Patience is a lost
virtue these days, no one has patience, especially when with
people you don't know you have. People have like no patience.
It's a time. It's a prime now society. We want
everything next day, if not the same day. We want

(14:20):
everything on demand. We want a haircut now like we
want everything now, and as you get older, it's even
more of that. I get aggravated the other day the
Starbucks mobile app was down, and I'm like, you expect
me to.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Go in order and wait five minutes for my coffee?

Speaker 3 (14:35):
How many times have you changed the brand on your
Amazon order because you see that the one you're looking
at it's not going to come till Saturday.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
You're like, Saturday, I want it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Spot was ordering some of the stuff for our our
convention in Vegas, and you're right if it doesn't, if
it's not here tomorrow, you're like, this can't. So patience
next is what you have when there are too many witnesses.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Patience is what you have when there are too many witnesses.
Oh interesting, All.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Right, let's make it to like declaration right now. Mike
needs to make these harder and longer.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, agreed, But I will say one thing about patients. Oh,
when it comes to patient.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
But Inituator Davis know about that.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You would say how your dad wouldn't wait at the
barber shop. My dad doesn't we anywhere like you would
think he would just chop it up talking about the
Yankees or a fight or something. If the barber chairs
that riding, Dad can have a physical ailment. And if
there's people in the waiting room at the doctor, like dad,
why didn't you stay?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Too many people to wait whom I got time for that.
If it's my time, if it's time to go, it's
time to go.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Is that why elderly people run through stop signs because
they're just like, I'm not stopping.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Time is taking away now, dude.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
They're saying, my mother in law, if we try to
go out for breakfast, if there's like if we go
to ihop, and they're like, there'll be a party of eight,
you know, cause some grandparents, kids, everyone, man, that will
give us like twenty minutes unacceptable, And then you drive
twenty minutes, wait, waste thirty minutes, spot twenty minutes and
you go you're on like spot number four and you're like, hey, Cindy,

(16:08):
we would have been sitting.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
So yeah, patience the end.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Now, coming up, we are going to talk about wasted
talent in sports. You see it happen in baseball, football, basketball,
that star player that spent one too many years on
that bunk last place team. There's a guy in Major
League Baseball now that I mean callo.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
You know what I'm calling it.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
He's getting the Jacob deGrom treatment. The run support is
non existent. So well, we'll talk about wasted talent. And
of course, coming up next, our buddy spot has Midweek
Major all the stories you might have missed in the
world of sports and entertainment. That's next right here on
Fox Sports Radio. Wow, Patience, Patience, bro.

Speaker 1 (16:57):

it was a lost virtue? What's wrong with Rich? Back there?
Someone someone ripped in the studio. Someone cropped us in here,
and I've got that foot in there all shows and
Spot just walked around lifesol but like spreading a lot
to the point where I just breathed in.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey spotty boy.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Hi boys speak really slow to use all my time.

Speaker 7 (20:08):
So former head coach Tom Tivodoo has finally smoken out
for the first time since his firing, and through a
full page ad in the New York Times. So Timbadeau,
who was fired on June third, thanked the New York
fans by saying to the best city in the world,
with the best fans in the world, thank you. Went
on to say how grateful he was for the opportunity,

(20:29):
thank the players in the coaching staff, and then ultimately
and the end, thank the fans for believing in him
and supporting him from day one. Fans took to social media,
posted the full page ad on social saying that it
was a very classy move and really appreciate it. No,
as you know, no word yet as the worries head
of but midweek or major. I think it's major because

(20:51):
it sucks to lose your gig. But when you see
that everybody around your colleagues, your players, and your friends
and family, everyone the fans all reach out to say, yo, this,
this is messed up.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
This doesn't seem right. It makes it a little bit better. No,
I think so a bit. And the fact that he
had this sort of send off, I think it's it's major.
It's a big story. You know what really shocks me
that this was eight days ago, that it happened. It
feels like forever right the world sports ever Seriously, the
world of sports moved so fast. There's always a news

(21:24):
story every day that that seems like it was at
least a month ago. But he got fired in twenty
twenty two. Seriously, So I'm gonna go mid d.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Major, that's so mad. Yeah, Major, I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'll tell you what mid in that so many people
take out full page ads when they leave a city.
What's major about it is it's usually a free agent
that leaves the city on their own accord, and they're
trying to just make nice by being like, yo.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
What to thank Philadelphia for? All the time? Baby?

Speaker 2 (21:49):
He got an outcry of love, like a little bit
of vindication was the word I was looking for. But
I'm saying, with everyone being surprised by his departure and
his firing, he's leaving with Grace and Clay, and you
know what everyone says back, Everyone will look back at
the Thibodeau tenure as a Knick's head coach and say,
you know, it was a good chapter.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
And they're always going to think it may have been
cut short.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
So I think there's a classy move and if anything,
he's making himself look better.

Speaker 7 (22:18):
Major ad minutes, we said Wow, I think that's the
first multiple.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, because it's the major about it and there's up
the mid about. I'll take it.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
All right, Well, you mentioned it earlier and I'm just
going to go with it anyway. Bill's QB Josh Allen,
is gushing over his new wife, Haley Steinfeld. So during
press this week, Alan was asked about how some of
the milestones over the last few months affected him, including
winning NFL and VP his three hundred and thirty million
dollar contract extension. He said, quote, They've all been big,
but none other than marrying my best friend. She makes

(22:50):
everything easier. I don't really focus on other stuff. That
was the most important decision I'll make in my life,
and I made the right one, as you know. They
tied the knot on May thirty first, even California in
a special secret ceremony with several teammates and attendance, and
of course I don't know if you saw that Larry
David in attendance. So some fun people at their reading
good week because that dude parties. You should he should

(23:15):
go to every wedding. I'll beg look up Craig Olson
at a wedding.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
If you that was McCaffrey's had a tie around his head.
This guy parties. It's major. It's a bit eye rolling.
Who's having a better year than that? Guys like my goodness.
But hey, I'm not hating. I'm just stating. I'll applaud him.
That's that's incredible. And he's saying and doing all the
right things. There's no doubt about it. That's like the

(23:40):
nicest thing he could possibly say about the woman he
just married. So I think that's great.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
I think it's major, definitely major spot.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Can you give me the quote one more time that
she makes everything easy and better?

Speaker 1 (23:50):
What was it? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (23:51):
She said, he said she makes everything easier. I don't
really focus on other stuff. That was the most important
decision I'll make in my life when I made the.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Right Choosing the right spouse is crucial to general happiness,
general happiness.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I love this.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Because the opposite is the equally terrible. Marry the right person, good,
good job, marry the wrong person. You see this clip
of Alec Baldwin marry the wrong person in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Man, Sorry, you're the one that brought it up.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
You see that clip of Alec Baldwin from maybe like
a month ago, where he's on a red carpet.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
And what's his wife? Hilario? Yeah, cuts him off, puts
her hand in his face, and you see the look
on his face like I hate her. Marrying the wrong
person that makes your life more difficult will bring you down.
Has Joff Allen seen sinners yet? Though?

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean, let me tell you, good for Josh Allen.
He's just a Lombardi Trophy shy of hitting all the
goals in life.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Now?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Can she make it easier for the Bills to win
a Super Bowl? I mean, happy, happy life at home?
Sam makes going to work easier. I remember when I
was dating someone that was a pain in my ass.
I would shove grumpy to it was the same guy.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
True story, good good, Oh you did? Next story? All right?

Speaker 7 (25:07):
Angel Reese, your favorite, has been named Sportswoman of the
Year at the B and T Awards for the third
straight year in a row, beating out some serious hold
on beating out I'll get there, beating out Simode Files,
Cocoa Golf and several fellow NBA players, and given Reese's
lackluster performance of late, left fans scratching their heads. Yeah, well,
Reese is one of only three women to win the

(25:29):
award more than once, and check out her company.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
The other company.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
The other two Serena Williams, who won it sixteen times
and Naomi Asaka who won it twice. Fans were upset
because Goff just won the French Open dominated there and Biles,
of course gold medal winner is dominated. And then fellow
nominee boxer Clarissa Shield even spoke out saying, still don't
know how I didn't win Sportswomen of the Year. Congrats

(25:52):
to Angel Reese. I just thought Accolades mattered so for comparison.
By the way, the man the Sportsman of the Year,
Jalen Hurts so mid week or major.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Week, week week all around.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
I mean nothing against the b ET awards. I saw
a lot of the highlights of som Riah Carrie won
her first for her iconicness.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I mean she's an icon y. Yeah, she's an icon.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
But Angel Reese three years in a row, Simone Biles
Olympic gold.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I know she was some controversy. I mean yeah, right,
she was a.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Lot spoken about the transgender stuff that she got in
some hot water, and Coco Goff just won. So how
is she not the person I don't get ridiculous, it's
it's really weird. This is major because people keep putting
this woman on a pedestal that she doesn't deserve. She's
a great athlete, but you talk about the best, that
would be like me saying, you know the greatest fighters

(26:46):
all Lei Fraser, Tyson Fury, you know, Lennox, Lewis and
Glass Joe Like, she doesn't fit remember Sesame Street.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
One of these things is not like the other. The
others are.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Accomplished, thee that of the other nominees.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I guess right.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
I would get it after she won the national championship
with LSU. I'd even get it after maybe last year
where she was really good double doubles, you know all that,
But three years ago.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I don't get that.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Well, I'm guessing the thinking is that often she may
appear to be overlooked I when it comes to Caitlyn
Clark and the love that she gets. So this is
their way of giving back to her. But she's won
it twice already. I disagree with it. But who the
heck am I?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah? Who cares what I think?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I will say this though, I do love following these
guys on social media.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
I showed spot.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
They bet a prop bet every day for Angel rees
to miss her first shot, and she always misses her
first shot.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
And these guys keep dumbhitting. She hit a three yesterday,
I know, but it's just very funny. You shouldn't be
surprised that when she's hitting threes.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
That's the thing exactly all.

Speaker 7 (27:54):
Right, Next, since you mentioned sports betting, we'll stick with that.
So according to a recent anonymous poll by the Athletic,
it seems that MLB players aren't too thrilled with legalized
sports betting. So one hundred and thirty three players were
polled as part of this poll from the Athletic and
asked the question has legalized sports betting changed how fans
treat you or your teammates, and a whopping seventy eight

(28:15):
point two percent said it has, saying the situation has
become way more negatives, especially on social media, citing how
people wouldn't say stuff to your face, other fans yelling
stuff in person about bets they've taken, demanding like over
unders on certain stats to players. One other player even
said they got a VENMO request saying, quote, you owe
me nine thousand dollars because you blew the game. I

(28:37):
need you to send me money or I'm going to
find your family. And this isn't an isolated incident. And
then yeah, an related story. Actually, golfer Scotti Scheffler said
that he had to delete his Venmo because people were
either sending him money or requesting money based on sports betting.
So it seems like sports betting has kind of gotten
personal attacks on players, and I'm sure it's got across

(28:59):
all sports.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Made for me.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Wow, this is major because this now becomes such a
big part of why people watch, and I get it.
It adds to the excitement. It's a lot of fun
when you have action on the game. But get a
life loser. You're taking it out on these professional athletes
because they didn't deliver. Who wants to deliver more than them?
But the one's out there doing it. I just don't
understand that mindset. I don't get it, and I don't

(29:22):
respect the people that take things to that next level.
I think this is absolutely major. It's the part of
gambling we don't talk about enough. This's fun to wager,
this fun betting on football and basketball and hey.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Doing our DraftKings pick six, which I love.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh, you know, Soto over a one and a half bass,
Aaron Judge a home run, tattoos.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Not handling like a like a degenerate.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
But but you know what you lose, you lose with
grace a lot. I'm like Thibodeau. I'm a graceful guy.
No one's forcing you to bat. But you know what
I will say, there are days where I'm like, oh
man tattoos or you know a guy who bet on tattoos.
You I know, But what I'm playing yourself in the head.
But what I'm saying is I am a mature adult.
So it is Damn Bayer, Danny g You everyone in
the room, for the most part mature adults. What I'm

(30:06):
saying is that most people aren't. So you're gonna hold resentment.
If you missed a six out of six pick six
parlay because uh Bogarts comes up.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Short, You're gonna be like, goddamn Buguart, and you're gonna
be all you know, You're gonna be rude about it.
H And it's terrible. It's the bad part of sports gambling.
I hate this. I hated hated.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
When you have that and then you have social media,
that hate is gonna go there towards that guy because
of these things. But the other day de Gram through
his first game where he didn't have a strikeout. I
guarantee this someone that was mad at the ground because
his strikeout over under hit the under. Yeah, I forget that.
You know he won or whatever it can, It doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
Did you guys see that Gabby Douglas was heckled by
some moron and he like got her to screw up
her performance so he could win a bet.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
It was. That's gross.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
It's not necessarily the problem with gambling. It's the problem
with people. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Well, thank you, fut
that was a fun Thanks for making me some time,
No problem.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
And let's go to Dan Bayer for an they d B.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
What's going on, my friend, guys in the NBA, it's
Game three of the finals tonight between the Thunder and Pacers,
tipping off from Indianapolis at eight thirty Eastern times.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Series is tied up at to a piece.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
By the way, remember the other day, I was mad
that SGA's over under was thirty one and a half
and I bet the over and he hit thirty one.
Shouldn't be mad at SGA. I'm just an idiot, so
see that he ties it all together.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
The game tonight tipping off again eight thirty Eastern Sunday
was the admiration. When it's the eight o'clock eight thirty
Eastern time tonight. The Star Tyre's Halliburton did admit yesterday's
dealing with a lower leg issue. Shams reported that it
is an ankle issue, but he's not on the injury
report and will start tonight. The Sons and Kevin Durant,
along with his reps, have begun talks on moving Durant

(31:44):
out of Phoenix this offseason. The Rockets, Spurs, Timberwolves, Heat
Nicks were named as possible destinations. Mark Stein MBA insider
reported the Mavericks tonight the next permission to speak with
a coach Jason Kidd about New York's coaching vacancy, So
then the NIXT pivoted to the Atlanta Hawks. ESPN says
the Hawk said, no, you can't speak with Quinn Snyder.
This on the heels of yesterday us finding out that

(32:05):
the Rockets and Timberwolves also denied the next permission to
speak to Ema Udoka and Chris Finch. Celtics guard Jalen
brown head arthurro scopic surgery on his knee. He's expected
to be ready for training camp. Raider signed veteran linebacker
Germaine Pratt to a deal. Eagles signed first round pick
linebacker Jehad Campbell. That means four first rounders remain unsigned.

(32:25):
And how about some day baseball A stat that only
interests me right now. But of the six finals from today, guys,
the losing team scored two runs in all of them. Okay,
so Pirates beat the Marlins five to two, not the
only five to two game, as the Blue Jays won
in Arizona five to two in the Desert today.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
Lorez has already had some monumental Grand Slams this year,
and now he swings might have another high drive.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Left field way back and gone his nineteenth don't run
up this season and he.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Takes two nothing deficit and turns it into a four.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
To two lead.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
You Hennios Warez. Third Grand Slam of the season. Diamondbacks
as a team have eight of them. Diamondbacks Radio Network.
They beat the Mariners today five to two. Guardians down
the Reds eleven to two. Phillys took care of the
Cup seven to two, Kyle Schwarber home run number twenty
one on the season, and the Braves beat the Brewers
in Milwaukee six to two.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Right now, the Dodgers lead the Padres four to two
in the ninth, the eighth. What's going on? You won't
get into Anaheim Angels on top of the A six five?
And that's so weird? Can you not just went to
the bathroom for a number two? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Damn bire that's crazy, man, Man, who'd you hit up
your pal elias at the sports for that one?

Speaker 4 (33:41):
I just really realized that I kept on saying two
to two to two to two.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Wow, So who is the one team that ruined it? Angels?
And A's right now six to five in the eighth
say someone's met at their prop bepicause of that, right altogether?
Thank you, buddy, Thank you. Dann Bayer Uh wasted talent
in sports? Who do you look at as the poster
boy of wasted talent? As show? Hey, hits a line
drive double to the gap? Did you see that? My

(34:08):
goodness is so good? Man? Oh triple what? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
I'll tell you nine out of ten big leaguers, Danny,
that's a stand up double yo. I can't even believe
he got the third on that because he hit it
so hard.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
All right, So poster boy of wasted talent? Who is it?
And let's chop it up and think of some others?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
And what do you do? How do you turn that around?
We discuss it next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
So sad.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Brian Wilson music, legend of Beach Boys, eighty two years old,
passed away, so many great songs.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I only know. I think this is a top five
song of all time? Awesome?

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, did you vibration? See the movie and Mercy the
Brian Wilson story. John Cusack played Brian.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Uh, you know, I don't think I have, but maybe
a good watch yet on your list to pay tribute?
Ko Como wouldn't be nice. California Girls, Barbara Ann, so
many hits, so many great songs, such as legendary artist,
We say rest in peace, Brian Wilson of the Beach
Boys again, Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Ready

(35:22):
for a new job, Let Express Employment professionals help. While
Express helps people in all industries find work, are sweet
spot as logistic roles and Express never charges job seekers
a fee. Go to expresspros dot com. When you bring
up the Beach Boys every time I think I hear,
wouldn't it be nice? I think of fifty first dates
with the Sandman, Drew Barrymore and Sean Aston sand That

(35:46):
was a good one, all right, Hey, listen, Danny said,
you have a tweet about the beginning of our show,
and then we got to talk about wasted talent before
we get out of here.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, really quick, before we get to our last topic,
social attainments tweeted, he said, Danny Telsey, and are they missed?
June eleventh, nineteen ninety three, Jurassic Park was also released
on this state. Sad we opened the show today with
four classic movies that were all released on the state.
Ferris Bueller et. Austin Powers, Napoleon Dynamite, What Where does

(36:14):
Jurassic Park?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Rings have a different color?

Speaker 3 (36:17):
That changes every should have been a top five today,
not a top four.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Jurassic is two behind e t or maybe one for
some listener here sat that one is number one.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
To me, it's definitely up there, no question, especially when
you put yourself in the mindset of seeing it for
the first time.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
Right, there's another Jurassic Park movie coming out like in
a week or right now, right.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Now, those movies do so huge. Thank you for chiming
in now.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
The saddest thing in the world talking about the sad
loss of Brian Wilson and Sliced Stone this week. The
saddest thing in the world is what wasted talent. And
if you don't believe me, maybe you believe I don't know,
Robert de Niro.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Remember, the saddest thing in life is wasted palace.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
You could have all the talent in the world, but
if you don't do the right thing, then nothing happens.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
But when you do right, well, guess what good things happen?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I mean you're listening, Collojuro. That's a Bronx tale, a classic.
And that's the biggest takeaway. It's the whole point of
the movie. It's one of the best takeaways of the movie.
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent. And when
you think of sports, when you think of life, who
comes to mind, because we're here to say that there's
a new poster boy in town.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
For sure.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Well I don't think a poster boy. I think a
guy that was town's being wasted rich. But you could
look and say the trajectory is not good, like I
think we're still too early because he's still so young.
But mister Paul Skeins, mister Livy Dunn, Paul Skeens one
of the best young pitchers the game is seen in
a while. The run support he's getting might even eclipse

(37:50):
what I would call the Jacob de Gram treatment, where
remember when Jacob de Gram would win like ten games
for the Mets and his ERA would be one point something,
he had zero life support. How many times de Gram
would take the hell for the Mets seven innings and
one run and get.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
The loss, and look how it worked out for him.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
He eventually won with Texas, and you know he's still
doing his thing. Maybe he goes back to the Mets.
Paul Skeens has a one point one two e RRA
and his last seven starts one point one two e
RA in his last seven starts, and he has realistic
but this one win to show for it in seven starts.
I know he said the one win, that's a joke.

(38:29):
He gave it away. But I'm not saying you give
it away bad way. But give me the e RA
in the seven starts again, one point one, one point
one in seven to one two, Yeah, one point one
two and seven starts. Realistically, you gotta get five wins
out of that, Yes, you could say maybe say you
would say five to I was being casual by saying

(38:50):
five six if you said maybe one of those starts.
The game was notted up at one one in the
sixth and he got pulled er five in the fifth inning.
One point one two era and seven starts and the
guy comes away with one w So is he winning
in life? Is he getting paid? Is he with Livy Dunn?
Is he in the big leagues? Is his career trajectory
on a great path? Yeah, because he's gonna end up

(39:12):
somewhere else, just like the Grom did, and he's probably
gonna win. That's great and hopefully that's the Yankees for me.
But as of now, all this effort is being wasted.
They're not winning. As a result, he's not getting any wins.
You know, he's getting a lot of strikeouts, and his
ra tells a different story, and that story tells that
he plays for the weakest team. And really, you gotta wonder,

(39:33):
is he gonna be there to stick around for a
Pirates rebuild?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Because I don't think they'll even do that.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Bob Gibson, historically, by the way, in nineteen sixty eight
and sixty nine, had nine losses and thirteen losses with
erays of one point one two and two point one eight.
So that's a guy that would pitch the whole game
and the team wouldn't even do anything for him. So
Bob Gibson, Jacob Degram, they're saying Randy Johnson at a time.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
So hey, there you go. Well comes to mind.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Let us though, all right, we'll see guys tomorrow or
Rivedecci baby, see you in the Promised Land, right,
