Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah, Oh, here we go another fun week. How are
you so kiddy? Oh my god, we had a little
extra time off.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Moth of July weekend was nice. Rich Davis got his
rest in. I guess Cavino and rich In for the
Great Dan Patrick Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio MBRE.
Our show is going to be broadcasting live from the
MLB All Star Game at Land of the Ultimate Baseball Hotspot,
and he'd be part of the excitement at Capitol One
All Star Village Saturday, July twelfth through Tuesday the fifteenth,

(00:33):
head to the Cobb Galleria for Baseball Fun, live entertainment.
Rich will be juggling for you and interactive games. Buying
tickets today at All Star Game dot Com. I'm pumped
about that. I'm pumped to be here day two of
our segmented Extended Dan Patrick hat trick. Hope you had
a happy holiday weekend. Well Baseball All Star Game. Should

(00:54):
want Soto be sad? Was he snubbed?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I mean, he's had the month of as but he
was Player of the Month.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
He had a late comeback and he's been on a
tear recently, so he had a crappy start and he
was sort of enemy number one.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, and your dude, Mookie bet Danny g he was
one of the snubs. Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, that's why fans shouldn't get the final say with
these stupid votes. I always thought that was dumb because
you get a bunch of Yankees Dodgers, and I'm a
Yankees fan. You know, you get guys like happy for him,
Jazz Chisholm. Is he really an all Star? I don't know.
I mean, he's all hot, he's the opposite. He's been
hot recently, right, but he missed a lot of time.

(01:35):
He's just popular and gets a lot of votes because
he plays for the Yankees.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
He's my question.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I'm not hating. I'm just stating. We're gonna get to
a lot today. We're gonna talk bobble heads. We're about
to pay tribute to a legend, to his you know,
I think one of the goats. We're gonna talk about
a weird retirement plan for like twenty five years from now,
when you're ready to hang it up.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Weird or awesome, We'll let you decide.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
And of course we're gonna start getting into a bunch
of NFL. But I gotta ask fans voting, are we
leaving things in the hands of a bunch of knuckleheads.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Without a doubt? But is it?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
And by the way, who really does that stuff? But
is it how it should be? Much Love Island? Do
you bust out your phone and start voting afterward? Do
you vote for bo Bis on American Idol?

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Back up the no.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
My point is it is like, I don't know. I
don't put a lot of credibility into people that do that.
I don't have an official vote in anything.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Be involved and that's fun, But do you vote for it?
It's just a bunch of ninnies who keep voting and
voting and voting.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
For the part.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I have buddies that might fill out like one bracket
with their kids or something, and then but you're right,
there're the kids.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
That's fun to feel like you have a say a
lot of times, much like real life rich I feel
like my vote doesn't matter much. I'm not doing it, yeah,
but I but I do wonder do you want the
star players there, even if they're having a bunk season
like Tatis Junior is out lighted up something earned, you know,
I really do like Wan Soto had a rough start.

(03:00):
He came on obviously in June, but he's a star.
I think you earn it. You know, what about the
guys who aren't superstars but having superstar seasons? Yeah, no,
I think they could participate in a home run derby
or fan festivities if they like to.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
There's a part of it.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think it's a place that's earned, and we've disrespected
it by having the fans just voted who is a
popularity kind I get what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Not fair.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I get what you're saying, but you're telling me as
you be an Yankees fan Aaron Judge, which doesn't seem
to ever happen if he had a rough start. It
never it was bat in like two thirty. It's like, yeah,
Judge is in.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
An All Star.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I'd be like when you were a kid and every
year Calpken Junior made it every year. These guys are
up every year, I'm saying, and well they were when
you look back, they were the league leaders in most things.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Do you think every single year.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
You're saying, when the coach's son made the Little League
All Star team, what did you say, oh, politics, right,
you want those same politics infiltrating professional sports in life
when it should be about merit, not about popularity or
who you know or what you're connected to.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I mean, I think it's.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
An honor for so many players, and if they have
the stats, they should be there.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's simple as that.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
But we'll be out there because we were voted number
one show on Fox Sports Radio. Thank you guys for
sending us. Appreciate the votes. Gonna be fun. I just
hate that because, again, as a Yankees fan, you just
get a bunch of Yankees Dodgers who don't necessarily deserve
it over other people like your boy want Soto. Well,
we're talking about all stars. But there's one guy that

(04:41):
I think shockingly enough, I mean, it was really shocking.
He stole the show. Fourth of July, Coney Island. My dude,
your dude, Joey Chesnut walks away with his seventeenth hot
dog title. But here he.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Stands, quiet, of talking, still of motion, content of wearing
shy of a god perhaps, but more.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Than a man.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
With seventy point five hot dogs and buns in ten minutes.
The Nathan's famous fourth of July Champion of the world,
Joey chesnaes.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
And there it is, right, damn true legend. With his
seventeenth victory ties the Lakers for seventeen trophies.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
That comparing it, I'd.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Say this is the biggest comeback since Michael Jordan's I'm
back announcement.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I would have to say that steps right in huge moment,
wins one in sports history.

Speaker 7 (05:53):
Better than Jordan. Jordan didn't win the year he came
back a wait another year.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Seventy point five, which again his goal was eighty I
believe he said on this show, didn't quite achieve that,
but still smoked the competition because he's that much better.
And props to Miki Sudo she won her eleventh women's title,
another superstar in the game. But I'll admit, even though

(06:19):
I find this to be one of the biggest events
of the year, I.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Did not watch. I was not watching that. How dare
you not support our pal?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I mean, I'm always torn seriously when we talk Joey Chestnut,
because I do like the guy, so I don't want
to come across as disingenuous or two faced, but when
it comes to that competition, not my vibe at all.
Like I don't wake up for it. It's not like, oh,
wake up early to watch. Well, you're right, I think

(06:47):
it's the same sentiment as it's kind of gross, like
watching it's like watching a parade on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm not one of those.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Like, you know, light stomachs, sort of queasy, kind of
but I can't really watch that and enjoy it or
give it any kind of credit. I feel like things
like that are what make people hate Americans. I mean,
it's sort of disgusting. Yeah, I mean, so, you know,
I don't want to talk bad about the guy because
I actually do like Joey Chests. We've met him a

(07:14):
bunch of times.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
Yeah, big time, big time friend of the show. He
doesn't do that much national radio. He actually says nice
things about you guys. He's a stellar fellaw yeah exactly.
He takes his craft very serious, which I respect. They
really do great work, ethic, He's you know, a true competitor.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
All those things.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
I really mean that could it be could disgusting and
awesome at the same time.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know what, two things can be true? But bam,
thank you, Danny g I'll go with that. Disgusting and
awesome at the same time. Look, have we no search history. Yeah,
awesome and disgusting at the same time. I got to ask, though,
when you see his dominance and I think the over under,
I think he I think he slightly hit the under,

(08:01):
but well his personal record was like seventy six I
think dogs. Well one of the bests people. Ongoing joke went.
He showed once again he has that dog in him.
When you saw the bet that people were making was
how many hot dogs would he beat second place by
it? It was like twenty something in sports, and you know,

(08:25):
you could jokingly say sports when we talk about our
pal Joey chestnutt but in competition in sport, when was
the last time we've seen dominance on a level where
I mean, now, it's like every year this guy's gonna
win by twenty hot dogs until what one day he's like,
I have too much indigestion and he just hangs it
up because he wants to like overall dominance like Joey
Chestnut type of dominance.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
That's a good one. Tyson comes to mind.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Tyson in the mid eighties, Yes, so invincible in our
childhood brains too, in our brains, especially because we were
brainwashed by Mike Tyson's punch out. Yeah, double seven, three
seventy three, five nine sixty three. He was unbeatable because
once you got past Soda Popinski and Super Macho Man
and everybody else, right, you got to him. One punch

(09:10):
knocked you out and you're like, what knocked you down?
But eventually out? Yeah, And you saw that in real
life too, so you built this up in your brain
that he was the most unbeatable guy that ever was,
which is why you were extra shocked when he lost
to Douglas forty two to one in Tokyo. I remember
it would be when you think of dominance of our childhood,
it has to be Mike Tyson up there.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
There was a.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Point later on then, you know, fast forward twenty something
years later, women fighting Ronda Rowsey. Well, she had the armbar,
she had like an unbeatable movie. There was a moment
untill again she became vulnerable. Yah, there was a moment
in time where Ronda Rowsey was unbeatable.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
I'm gonna talk about that.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I'm gonna have to bring up Ivan Drago then too,
because there was one point where we didn't think he
was human, we didn't think he blood blood.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
And then Rocky made him bleed his own blood. I
think we just nailed it, so Tyson Drago and uh.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Don't forget Mac McClung in the slam dunk competition.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, fella, he wins.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
If we were having an unassuming like conversation, he'd be
in it for sure, Like the most unassuming dude to
keep winning.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Man overall dominant.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Moment in time. What about Oh, Babe Ruth is another one.
I mean, because what makes him legend is at the
Babe he had like more home runs than several teams
coming like the rest of the league comes. There was
a point where you would look at old stats and
heat back to hot Dogs. I think he had the
record at the time for the yeah before Joey, But

(10:43):
wasn't there you know who did stats back then? Elias
from the sports bureaus like Grandpappy. Yeah, back then there
were stats where like A and easier from the sports
beer Babe Ruth, I'm not even joking. I believe he
had more home runs than the rest of the league
at one point. I'm pretty sure there were times where
I was like, ah, Mabe Ruth had this many home

(11:04):
runs and the rest of the league had the same.
The babe was in bombs Michael Phelps in the Olympics
at one point where it was like, yo, he's just whatever.
There's no one that's gonna outswim Michael Phelps in his
prime like whatever the race was, whatever the stroke was,
and he did it on a worldwide level, right, worldwide
dominance too. So yeah, he always had dominance. And that's why. Again,

(11:25):
these are legends that we talk about all the time,
but Joey Chestnut is superior in that world. I know
it sounds ridiculous obviously, guys, but it is true. It's
like my joke here, I say all the time I go,
even when I'm late, I'm still the earliest one, even

(11:45):
Joey Chestnuts. And I say that, uh disgruntled every day. Yeah,
Joey Chestnut, even with a meager performance. But by the
way you get here, earl every point, yea, the people realize,
twenty minutes, is you just fixing your hair? Yeah, okay,
twenty minutes, it's definitely Yeah, is fixing my pompa door.
I was hit twenty minutes before you, guys, Yeah, you

(12:07):
were fixing your hair. But his seventy point five is
still way more dominant than anybody else. I'll give you
the dubbest analogy. It would be like, by the way,
how many dogs did you have this weekend?

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I had too? I was sixty eight and a half shy. Yeah,
who passed the record in the studio? Sam Danny g
not six? I think? Wait, you were at my house
and you had not you had a hot dog.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You had two hot dogs and an Italian sausage, and
you might have a second one.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
You matter have five.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I think I had four total this weekend, Like in
two days, I had a total count of four dogs.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
How about you, Daddy J.

Speaker 7 (12:45):
I didn't overeat this past weekend.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
I mean that was in two days. That's not over.
So what you made it sound? Saturday and Sunday had
two on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I had two on so yeah, that's not bad at all.
Yeah about you, Sam? Were you the league leader in
the clubhouse?

Speaker 4 (13:00):
I had a couple. I had two or three on
Friday nights.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I mean, since this show is all over the place,
we're consuming dogs. Since uh, you know, this show just
takes its own path, let me ask you about hot
dogs for a second.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Sure, wait a second. I wasn't in the show notes.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
When you know, we've we've talked to our buddy Rob Parker,
who left to buy those uh New York City brand dogs. Yeah,
red onions. He does the red onions with the is
it the Sabrits subrette subrette?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah? Those New York get it right, bro.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Rob Parker, who works here at Fox Sports, always loves
those red onions on the subrette. New York City hot dog,
that's the boiled hot dog. I feel like the only
time you could boil a dog is those New York
City carts. When you get a barbecue, go with them
because you're drunk or out of desperation.

Speaker 7 (13:52):
That's why when I can't they push grills the way
they do in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Rich, Yeah, I'm you're outside Dodger Stadium'm sorry, outside like Staple.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Center of Roger Stadium.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
You got all those you know, those men and women
making those bacon wrap ones.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
I got to ask, though, are you one of those people?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Because I went to I went to a barbecue on
Friday and then I had a couple of people over.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
On Saturday, Cavino and his family.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Stop Bi, I just throw the dogs on the grill
Nathan style, flip them a couple of times. Nice Crisp,
are you one of those people that start cutting into
the hot dog? Making those crisscross designs? And because I
had an uncle Mario, we call him Mario, but the
world says Mario. So Uncle Mario on the East Coast

(14:36):
always cut the ends. And when he crawled up a
little bit, he said, that's when he knew they were done.
But that just became sort of what I saw growing up.
And that's really my I mean, you could tell when
the dog's done, regardless, I get it, but that was
sort of the thing like, and I guess it heats
up the inside. I don't know the thinking behind it,
but I cut up the dog a little bit. But

(14:56):
there are some people that are like criss crossed the
whole damn dog.

Speaker 7 (14:59):
And I'm like, I mean, they're getting fancy with My
mom liked him burned the same way you like your steak.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I like him little Chrispy myself, Yeah, thank you. But
Joey Chestnut King said, Joey, he just houses him. He
put himself in a league of his own. I think
we can move along anyone else. So like dominance, like
overall just straight up dominance.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
When they came in.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I think we dained it. I mean you could. I mean,
Andrea the Giant, maybe you're forgetting people. Oh, the Hulkster
in the eighties, before hul Cogan lost to the Ultimate
Warrior in WrestleMania six, there was a good There was
a good six seven year run. Where as far as
sports entertainment, they made us as children think that the
Hulkster was unbeatable, right, I mean that was that was

(15:43):
the whole gimmick of the Hulkster.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Unbeatable. He was about to get off.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
You would be, he would be, you know, down for
the count, and then he would hold up Brother U
two and then he starts changing.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
I wanted to switch to a real sport.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
You guys didn't mention Tiger Woods.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
The Tiger in his prime. Yeah, how Oh that's a
good one. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
I mean he's the great one for a reason. His
numbers are just so far superior than most. How about
bo Jackson intech mobile like unseconble unstoppable intech mobile.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Him and Marcus Allen. Yeah the Raiders, right, am, I right?
Tech mobile? All right? So think about it.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Joey Chestnut again, but flex is his dominance once more,
even his at his worst. I mean, he's still so
far superior. It sounds ridiculous what we're saying. But if
you want to consider hoto geating a sport a competition,
he's great at it.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
But I'm saying he is not just winning winning.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
He's not just fall to Charlie Sheen in the two
thousands winning. He is dominating on a level where it's
like you, you would think that some other JABBRONI would
figure out how to do it, like, come up. You
know there's glory involved. There's a lot of competitive eaters.
There's people that do this.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
We know that.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yet no one's close, no one's in the ballpark, no
one's even like within ten hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Of this guy. Ballpark pun intended. Yeah, so you know about.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
It, Like you said Tyson in the eighties where he
would get in the ring with other heavyweight champion level
fighters and they look scared and losing around. It's like
men playing with boys. It's like Sandler playing dodgeball with
a bunch of kindergarten kids. It's a Cramer doing karate
with eight year old It's so funny would say that,
because that's what I was about to say a few
minutes ago. Like when you look at Chestnut and how

(17:31):
he just whoops the competition. That would be like if
you were like, all right, kid, you want to do
you want to play one on one.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Basketball and you're playing against like your eight year old kid.
By the way, there's a video that I love.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
It's so funny of this little kid and he throws
the whiffle ball to like his older brother or his
uncle or something, and instead of, you know, just like
hitting it like a normal person would, he just hacks
it like he's Jim Tome and he's a bomb over
the house and a little kid starts crying.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
It's the best.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
I don't know if there's something weird inside, but I
love seeing a kid how upset like that.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's so funny to me.

Speaker 7 (18:04):
Look up at the monitors right now. Wimbledon is on
seventy three singles titles, twenty three doubles, thirty nine Grand
Slam titles.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Serena Williams, Oh yeah, but I was saying email dominant.
I mean that is a great answer, and much like
I mean Serena being so dominant. It's sort of you
know when you say Shank is a big man, like
they didn't know how to defend that guy when he came.

(18:32):
It was his biggest criticism like himself. Yeah, like he
had so much dominance and so so much potential to
be even more dominant.

Speaker 7 (18:41):
H I think I think of a chem Elijah On too.
He was unstoppable man.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
But I mean, obviously everyone's gonna be like Michael Jordan
because the minute he did get past the Pistons and
the Celtics in the East, the minute that happened in
nineteen ninety You know what once once the ninety ninety
one season sort of happened, Well, I Michael Jordan was.
Michael Jordan was unstoppable until he decided to hang it
up in ninety eight. But there were other back but
there were other greats not as great. But again, Alajuan,

(19:08):
when it comes to Tyson, when it comes to Babe Ruth,
when it comes to Chestnut, and we say that facetiously
but seriously at the same time, again, what makes them
is how far they separate themselves from the next second
place person is Katie Ladecki? Are we forgetting to give
her props in like the swimming world?

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Right? What's up? Spotty?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I was gonna say Aren'tie leaving out three time consecutive
sportswomen of the Year Angel Rees, that's true, yeah, three
two times.

Speaker 7 (19:39):
You're also leaving out thirty times last one standing champion
Dan Byer.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Oh yeah, domination just dominates us. Every week game is
coming up an hour three.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know what if you if you want to chime in,
Hey at Covin and rich In for Dan Patrick as
we get our week started.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Now it's uh, you know what is now that the
fourth of July is over?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I mean, Richie, I gave you twenty minutes to bring
it up, and I didn't want to say it and
pat myself on the back like Barry Horwitz. I didn't
want to toot my own horn. But how about me
and Little League? When I was twelve, twenty seven little
league home runs? Dude, the next kid had like five.
This is this is never gonna go Come on, bro,

(20:18):
my twelve year old season. Actually, when I was twelve,
I hit fourteen, right, but I hit twenty seven total.
I hit fourteen home runs in little League. I mean
his kid next kid had like four. Do we need
to follow that up with the reminding people that don't
know you that Cavino is the same height now.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, when he was twelve, that's the point. I was
so dominant.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I was like, I was huge, you know, Covino. I
was a huge fourteen twelve year old. You the b
I never really grew after the biggest Latino kid ever.
They thought, they thought Danny Almonte got a questions. Yeah,
Steve Covino asked my parents for the birth certificate every game.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
He was like Giant Gonzalez when he was twelve. Yeah,
never grew another end. I was hitting bombs. But then
everyone caught up to me. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
He went from I mean when we're talking over the dominance,
we got to bring it up. He went from Giant
Gonzalez to uh Eltuve, Yes, exactly stopped.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
I mean, but you know what, you're really painting an image.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
That at like five to six, which is not the
case here when you have to add. But I don't
want to flex like the guy on Love Island and
brag about my five to ten.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
It's not quite the flex.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
Hey, guys, breaking news can sam not the official sound
that we have, But can somebody do like a drum
roll on their chest or their belly? Who had the
most off dogs?

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Do it? On your belly.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Joey Chestnut just texted me back he is joining us
in hour three.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Look at that. We get to chop it up with
a champion. I'm curious who he puts on that list,
So you know what, There you go, joe I want to.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
See how he's feeling today.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, how do you think Joey is feeling three days later?
What did he? What did you? What did he?

Speaker 2 (21:54):
What do you think he does for the last two

But always a pleasure to wake up bright and early.
You know it, buddy for DP, It's an honor to
film for Dan Patrick. And shout out to the dan Etts,
Fritzy and Malvin and all our pals.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
We appreciate you guys letting us sit in.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's funny because every time I think of Dan Patrick,
which is often, I do think about how cool it
is that he's in Sandler movies and this.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Sandman and Happy Gilmore team that's a couple of weeks away.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I know we're pumped about that. And just the other
day we were talking about old school jams, old school
summer songs and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
And our video guy Spot brought up jock Jam.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, and he's like, do you think you can name
every song as it happens?

Speaker 4 (23:55):
And I forgot that who like kicks off that song?
Welcome to the big Show. Dan Patrick is the guy
in Jockjam that you listen to.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
What, by the way, you're thousands of his audience that
they're probably like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
No, duh, what time? Maybe they forgot when was the
last time you thrown the jockjam? Danny G ninety.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Style when I jam, it's not normal with the jock jam. Yeah,
now it's been a minute. Did you know that Danny G?
Like off the top of your.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Head, I did know that. Yeah. See that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Like, you're talking to his audience, so they're probably like, yeah, dude,
welcome to the show.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
It's because we're radio nerds that we were always in
charge of the music, even when we were in school.
So we had the Jockjam CD and you just put
that bad boy in and there was your soundtrack for
whatever event was going on it.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
By the way, it's muscle memory. I'm not I'm not
saying let's do it now.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
But when you're bored as hell later today or something
at work, put on Jockjam and you will somehow know
every transition from song to song to song. It was
just part of your well like workout mix. And you
played in the the locker room at school in high
school like that was just part of it. No, no,
I worked out to the rocky soundtrack. Bro, I don't

(25:02):
know what you little boys did.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
I'm just kidding. You worked out. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
By the way, Rich is going to tell you next
how Dan Patrick also hosted Sports Centership stick around for him.
By the way, as far as domination, we are gonna
have Joey chestnutt give us a little recap hour three.
Joey Chestnut's gonna call in. But Mike, who runs his place,
the guy who runs iHeart and everything he said. Any
of that he said, Michael Phelps is a great answer,

(25:29):
because you know who else is. For a moment, Bolt,
We're saying Bolt and Pele back in the day, was
like the one soccer man amongst the boys. That sort
of thing is the point. He definitely has that sort
of dominance in his game, in his sport. Yeah, it's
less about oh he keeps winning. I'm just saying he
took it, not a year off, but he had his

(25:50):
other obligation. You would think that some other grown man
would be like, you know what I could get within
twenty hot.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Dogs in this guy can't do it like legend.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
But it's not even like, oh he won again him
buy three hot dogs. He it's like Tyson knocking out
other heavyweight champions in sixty seconds. It's that type of
I know it's hot dog eating versus boxing or you know,
that's what the sport needed someone like him to bring
it even more into the mainstream. That's why we talk

(26:21):
about him. That's why when it comes to competitive eating,
how many names do you really know? Crazy Legs, Kanti
and Joey Chesnut? Yeah, like you only know really Joey
chest Like the average fella is only gonna know, yeah,
Joey Chestnut because he's that legendary when it comes to
hot dog eating and competitive eating period. Aken Covino and

Speaker 4 (26:52):

Speaking of.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Speaking of domination and and speaking of just something something special,
I'll give your boy credit. Yesterday he wasn't as dominant
as he's been over the last you know a couple
of months.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
But what would the Yankees be doing without Max Freed
right now?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Oh, he is the only shining light. Well, Aaron Judge too.
He's on you know, his own personal record pace of
home runs. He's still dominant. But the Yankees are stinking
like a blink. And that's just the truth. And in
the eighteen hundred, so think of how smelly that is. Yes,
Mary Todd, what no for real? But Max Freed is

(27:37):
the stopper every team needs one, you know, he stops
the bleeding. He comes out there. He's eleven and two,
by the way, and he probably should be uh twelve.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
And one, I guess.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I mean, I look, he had one stinker, But I
look at Max Freed for the Yankees, and I you know,
I'm not gonna say I told you so, but I'm
a National League fan more than American.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
I'm a Mets fan. And when you guys got Max Freed,
I was like, man, you again.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
You were like, good, guess sometimes you need to see
a player day in day out to understand how great
they really are. He's dominant, and you knew if he
got a chance for a team like the Yankees. As
much as I hate, he was going to dominate Southern California.
Kid lives out here on the way, you know, grew
up out here. I believe right in Santa Monica, played
played out here.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
He's incredible to watch. And yesterday with.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
The Yankee and this is so important for any team
in any sport to have, you said, the guy that
stops the bleeding, because the Yankees have looked like trash.
And I was like, oh, man, Max Freed yesterday.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
I'm a Mets fan.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I'm like, well, today is the day the Mets lose
because Max Freed. They're not going to lose seven to row.
Max Freed your only savior. They're just not playing baseball.
And someone said, it's like someone pulled the plug out.
It's like it's like they forgot how to play. They're
not really playing the game. It's just it's so weird
to see a team go from dominant to just crash overnight.

(28:55):
There's a way someone flipped a switch. When you watch
the Yankees, and again I'm a big Mets fan, they
they were stinking they won, you know, four in a
row until the Yankees won yesterday. So the Mats are
trying to get back on track. Baseball's hot right now.
Your Yankees when I watch that team a little closer
when when they're playing you know, my team, where I'm

(29:15):
just watching a Yanks game, I feel like, if if
you could pitch around Aaron Judge, the lineup's not as
scary as it looks like. They like, that's the Ron
Washington way of the game. He's like, the Yankees might
beat me, but I'm not gonna let Aaron Judge beat me.
And that's why he's he's gonna break records, I think
for intentional walks this season because he's already up there.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
We're only halfway there.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Intentionally walked a million times and that's been the trick,
and no one else steps up and now Anthony, Guys
like Anthony Vaalpi are taking the heat like there was
a point yesterday, and again, I don't expect everyone to
have watched the Met Yankees game, but it was the
national game of the week yesterday that was on.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
It was free on MLB Mets Yankees. I mean, it's
still got clout.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
There was a point where it was a close enough
game and I was like, all right, first paces up
White pitching to Aaron Judge, and Mendoza decided, yeah, I
pitched him first pitch, didn't even get all of it,
just sort of got enough of it to run home run.
Just like that, I'm like, there's a way if you're

(30:18):
an American League team, if you're the Tigers, if you're
the Astros.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
You walk them.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
I hate that game, but as part of it, there's
a part of me the things that come to postseason.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
You better hope guys like Volpi and gold Schmid and.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Who's those damn who's your host mustachio guy Lefty Grisham, Well,
uh those, if those guys are cold, I would walk
Aaron Judge. I know it's boring as hell for baseball,
but I would walk him every at back strategy strategery.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
No, No, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Man, And uh I did see that over the weekend.
That if the team is called Aaron Judge, just walk them,
walk them every time. But speaking of your Yankees is
a more interesting story. Let's about base well, more about
people's fandom of Seinfeld.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, this is wild.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I think the story Danny g super producer, correct me
if I'm wrong. There's a great chance that I will
be August twenty. First is George could stands a bobblehead,
now you got it right. And tickets. The story is
that tickets are less expensive than for what the bobbleheads
are going for on the black market, so people are

(31:28):
willing to pay slowed down black market to be like eBay, no, no, no,
no black market spot. It's in the dark, it is, yeah, no,
because people are trying to get their hands on these
illegally because there's such a hot item.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
I was walking down the street.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Someone like pulled me into like a door and I
had to go down the stairs and down an alleyway.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
And in the Bathtom, I got that.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
You think I'm just it's the whole thing of George
with bobbleheads. Yo, you think I'm kidding, I'm gonna throw
something at you.

Speaker 7 (31:56):
I think the greatest Seinfeld episode ever it's.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
One of the bad Yeah, so again Yankees George Kastanza
bomblehead pre sales for the actual biblehead.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah, the bibblehead is more than sleeping the desk.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yes, yes, but they're going for more than tickets to
that day's game.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
The average ticket price for that game on like stub Hub,
let's say, was about fifty dollars. The average pre sale
price and I don't even know how you pre sal
something you don't have your hands on on eBay was
well over two hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Because you got these like, uh for references, hold these
trash bag ticket holders that just want to sell.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
It for reference. They recently did an Aaron Judge Aaron
Judge special like Superman promo. Bibblehead, I'd walk them that. No,
he flies that leaves tall buildings in a single band.
That was only about one hundred dollars on eBay. Costanza
Costanza cast and again this goes back to something we've

(32:58):
ranted about before. And our boy Evan Roberts also brought
this up. It's only giving out to the first eighteen
thousand fans, which makes boneheads want it even more. Yeah,
I say boneheads respectfully because I don't know why you
would want this silly thing anyway to me. Yeah, I'll
give him props. I heard are old. We used to

(33:19):
work with him at Maxim Radio back in the day
at serious XM.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Evan Roberts is now on in New York City. Wfan,
What the hell is a Maxim? You remember magazine?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Remember when print media was the thing.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Evan went on a rant and I saw him about
a year ago saying, how when they do a giveaway
at a stadium, whatever the sponsor is, you tell me
you can't pony up and make sure everyone that enters
the stadium gets that, like you like honestly, print more bubbleheads,
print more banners, make make more crappy, not just for.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Like goofball collector. But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
You're taking your kid there and now you got to
sit with their sour puss for the rest of the
day because they didn't get one because dad was late.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I just remember my daughter her, that's not fair.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
My daughter went with her friend who a Dodgers game
out here because it was like hello, kiddy night, and
they had to leave early because we got.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
To make sure we get them. And I'm like every
and it brings out the worst.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
It's like, you know when TVs are on sale for
Black Friday, you know you get people fighting over to
the hottest Christmas gift. It's it brings out the worst
because everyone's trying to get there and cause a rut
GISs just to get their hands on the stupid bobblehead.
And if you don't get one, your whole days were owin.
Do you remember? So I hate that. It's a trash move.
Do you remember when they did the bubblehead?

Speaker 3 (34:31):
It was show Hey and his Dog, Show Hey, Oh,
Denny and his dog.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
It was and his puppy.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
There was a line for like probably the night before.
People were lined up just to be first into the stadium.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
It was show Hay oh Tony predict it should be
something like, you know, all children under fourteen or something
ridiculous like that.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
They got to figure that out.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
You mean, these billion dollar teams and billion dollar companies
when you're already making the money on concessions of tickets everything.
I am a firm believer that every kid, that every idiot,
that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying every every kid
goofball there should get one. I'm saying every kid should
definitely be guaranteed that they get it. Well, then again,

(35:10):
I don't want to raise the softy pants either. Right hey,
let you know, you don't always get what you want.
Kids scramble am a ding dung. I get it. It's
a decent life lesson. But you're going there? And why
did they stop that promotion at Domino's Rich? Remember it
was like get your pizza in thirty minutes or less
or it's free because because people were dying in car

(35:33):
crashes exactly, everyone was trying to, you know, get the
pizza there on time, and they were crashing their cars.
You got all these maniacs trying to get to the
stadium in time and early enough to get this dumb
ass bobblehead. And I have to ask you, what are
you doing with it? Grown ups? I might be the
most immature guy you know. Let's just say I'm forty
something years old. No one interrupted you that, right, fair?

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Right? Your mom did your laundry until you were twenty eight,
And I'm telling you, what are you doing all these bobbleheads?
You a bobblehead craze.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
You bragged maybe like five years ago that you learned
how to make a scrambled egg for your daughter. We
all have our things that we collect, and I get that,
but the craze for bobbleheads is just beyond me. And
I'm a sports fan, all right, So what do you

hope you have backed it up. Terry, I hope you
enjoyed it reverse. I hope you had some OO and
O and I hope you enjoyed the farewell to Ozzy Osbourne.

(38:14):
I want to talk about that for a second too.
But Ozzy Osbourne, huh yeah, quits. Yeah, he's done. His
daughter stole his moment.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Get out of here.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
That's not even possible. But I know what you mean.
Didn't Ozzie have his farewell? Ozzie's final bow? The reunion
of Ozzie Whiplack Sabbath, first time since two thousand and
five they've performed together, all original members. It was their
last performance in Birmingham, England, and tons of superstars were

(38:43):
there for the moment. Yeah, tell me if you can
name five Ozzis.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Ozzie conseko one, Ozzie Smith, yep, Oswaldo Cabrera, He's Osbourne.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
So that's three Ozzy Osborne. He can say Ozzie Smith,
Ozzie and Harriet.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Right? Who came up with that one? Your grandma?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
You said, you didn't say there was a time span.
I had a more Ozzie Ozzie the cat, how about it?
How about NFL? Ozzie knew some.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
Ozzi supposed to get him too. You got some assies,
he got some good ones in the mix.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
But when you think of Ozzie, I guess Ozzy Osbourne
is the number one Ozzie. I think so you know,
Rich jokingly said Ozzie Smith is the most famous Ozzie.
I'm like, well, you know, he's a legend for sure.
Thee No, but Ozzie Osbourne. They formed Black Sabbath in
nineteen sixty seven, so I mean they say the Godfather's

(39:54):
a medal for a reason started something completely different.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
I mean they.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Started Ozzy Osborne's to playing music before we landed on
the moon.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
So I get it.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
And I just thought when he did his final show
this past weekend, I saw one clip on social media
where I guess his future son in law proposed to
Kelly Osbourne backstage, and I'm like.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
This is Dad's final moment. What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (40:17):
You knuckle ahead, taken the moment. I was saying, isn't
that stealing the moment.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
A little bit? It's like getting engaged.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
It was a one hundred thousand people there for Ozzy,
so I don't know how you steal that moment with
a backstage announcement, you know what I mean. The thinking was,
I want to do it in front of her family
and friends and make it special. It's a special day.
I'm sure he had Ozzie's consent. Oz He's sitting there.
Sharon's all happy about it.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
I don't think you have a blessings. Yeah, he doesn't say,
he's like you will.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
He actually says you're not going to marry my daughter
before he proposes, and he got a nice laugh out
of it. But I don't think you could steal a
moment when something that big is going on.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
So you ever see those stories were at a wedding, someone's.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Like we're having a baby, or like someone announces a
baby and it's like, oh, yeah, well, well you marry me.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
Like you know, there are times when you let it breathe.
I get it. Though.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Maybe it's just a nice family moment for everyone, right
Ozzie's last show, daughter gets engaged. I think on a
smaller level, yes, that would be stealing the moment to
make some sort of announcement a birth announcement at someone
else's event or someone's wedding, or get engaged at someone
else's wedding. Yeah, that's inappropriate and potentially stealing the moment.

(41:36):
This was just like an ancillary prize or something. This
was just an extra bonus. That would be like when
Clayton Kershaw struck out number three thousand, like two minutes later, like,
what are the players like proposed to his girlfriend?

Speaker 4 (41:52):
I mean, stealing the moment is a thing, by the way.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
To put it in perspective too, why Ozzy Osbourne is
such a legend and why Black Sabbath gets his it.
They they formed the nineteen sixty seven Rod Carew and
Tom Seaver were the rookies of the year. That's how
long they've been doing. Come on, yeah, you gotta give
him credit.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Well said.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
We're gonna get to a bunch in for the great
Dan Patrick. We'll talk to some NFL, tell a little
All Star game, Baseball all coming up right here, Fox
Sports Radio, Monday.
