Speaker 2 (01:01):
We got Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom in just a
few minutes. If you could repeat Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom,
because he's a man with lots of wisdom, and when
we say that, we mean lots of grain his beard.
If you could repeat his words verbatim, you win one
of our final swiggies, just in time for summertime. Well
(01:23):
before we do all that, our stainless steel water bottle.
By the way, Trey is still on standby. Maybe you
had a hard hitting question we couldn't fit in last hour. Yeah,
just for you, Trey, what's up my friend?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hey mean, that's nice for you guys to keep me on.
I was gonna say, being from the New York, can
y'all help me understand the five Burroughs in terms of
who's more Yankees, who's more Meds Jet? John, I'm just
confused by question.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Great question. I would say this is by there's no
real rhyme or reason. However, when you talk about who
roots for who, there are a lot of Mets Jets,
and for some reason Yankees giants that those usually cluster together. Well,
you mean the winners and the losers essentially, I mean,
be honest, Yeah, in a way. Well, even when we
(02:11):
worked at s n Y, it was Mets Jets and
all things New York sports. So they even share sort
of a network network. But it really is that back
in the day rhyme. Back in the day, I don't
think rhyming has anything. Rhyme and a reason, but no reason.
The rhyme is the Mets and Jets and the Nets.
(02:32):
The reason is you root for losers. Well, I think Queens,
if you know the Five Boroughs, Queens is sort of
on the way to Long Island, right, so you talk
about Queens is closer Flushing Queens is closer to Long Island.
So if you grew up on Long Island, there's a
decent chance you may lean Mets Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's a flip of a coin. Jersey's like, you know,
across the river.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But I say there's more Yankees fans in Jersey though,
and you could tell them by the Guido Jersey mentality
of the twenty seven rings, the ooh, the Jersey short
type of guy does lean.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yankees a little more. I think I think.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You're gonna go like Long Island Queens that direction east
Mets Jersey and like City the Bronx, Yanks, Jets, people
with terrible taste, giants, people that like to win every
you know, ten years with a goon quarterback, but Nicks,
(03:31):
I mean everyone loves the Knicks. I don't know any
real Nets fans and any other thoughts Islanders, Long Islands Rangers.
I feel like I feel like you you nailed it.
I feel like you confused it a little bit for
other people listening. But is therest part you covered it?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Is there a stronghold of Phillies fans in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
South Jersey. There's a point in South Jersey, cherry like.
Once you get beyond like where Snooky in the situation
hung out. Once you get beyond a certain point in
South Jersey, then you start hitting people that associate more
with Philly than New York, which is a whole separate.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Conversation, right, been there, I've experienced all that. Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
They're pumping their fists and they might have a Bryce
Harper Jersey on melting melting, But you know, to bring
it full circle out here in La is there if
you're down the down the coast enough maybe Angels, But I.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Don't really know many Angels fans, right.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I mean, growing up when I was a little kid
here in southern California, it was a lot of Raiders, Dodgers,
Lakers fans. Yeah, you can see those three logos together
on one sticker.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Oh yeah, I know more Mexican dudes out here in
La named Angel than I know Angels. Fits true story,
it's true story, no Angel, Yeah, it's true and rich.
Before we get into the words of wisdom, Yeah, speaking
of baseball and speaking, I wanted to talk about going
back to an old job because it seems to be
like an underlying theme if you pay attention to what's
(04:50):
going on with Dame Lillard. The talks of Lebron like
it could be the fitting ending if he goes back
to Cleveland, or is that week because Dame beat him
to the punch? The other speculation there and then the
school was that video really quick of Dame walking back
into the locker room all emotional.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I mean, it's the.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Story book ending, you know, the what's the word I'm
thinking of the term, I'm thinking of bookends. Book You
bookend your career where you started. It's nice, you know,
we see that a lot. Dinny Griffy did that. For
a second, I forgot for a second he did. Yeah,
I'm trying to think who else did that? Who else
comes to mind? You know, they went back just for
(05:31):
the retirement purposes of calling it. Tino came back to
the Yankees, even though I still think of him as
a Mariner in a lot of ways, he did come
back to the Yanks.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It would be like if Lebron went back to Cleveland
to end his career.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, but that's the story, right, So going back to
an old job, an old X is it worth it?
Is there a reason you left? Do you want to
say you're goodbyes? There's another story today that sort of
ties into it, where for thirty five year old pitcher
Rich Hill comes back to the Major League.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Isn't that I love this? It's not like.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
He's coming back to an old team, but he is
returning back to the Bigs, and it's his fourteenth team.
So if you look at his stats, who if you
look at his Baseball Reference or his Baseball Card, fourteen teams,
which ties the most most teams played for.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
In his twenty first season.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And then I had to look it up Rich, I'm like, well,
who the hell played for more than fourteen teams? And
Rich and I had the same stupid thought, like Kenny Lofton,
like Ricky Anderson, Yeah, like who played longer team ten
and bounced around and apparently it's Edwin Jackson, right handed
pitcher from twenty three to twenty nineteen, played for fourteen teams,
and before Jackson set the record, Octavio Dotel held it
(06:54):
with appearances for thirteen different teams between ninety nine and
twenty thirteen, according to Chad Gpt. But based on that,
how do you feel about going back to an old job?
I like, you never say never, and that's why you
never burned bridges because there's only so many opportunities in
life when it comes to women.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Like we've heard stories where it works out great.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think a lot of times with women and sports
two of my favorite things. Yeah, I think that second
time around, it's gonna be hard to top the first time,
unless maybe you dated when you were young and it
didn't work out and then you guys found love again
and it's like you remember a lot of dating experts
call that the pet cemetery theory, where you go back,
(07:36):
but you know it's not the same, it's not the
same person.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I can't and you'll remember.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You start to remember why all the problems were there
in the beginning, why you left in the first place.
I can't tell you one athlete that returned to a
team and was better the second time around. Usually it's
like a beautiful farewell where it's like, hey, they're back,
but they're not what they were.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Remember Tom Seaver came back to.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The Mets for a second when we were little kids,
Like please, people come back to it team for a
second cup of coffee, as they say, right, Yeah, it's
kind of cool because I mean you see a lot
of players that leave and come back. I mean even
managers leave and come back as they have history with
that team. The old Billy Martin sort of theory. How
(08:18):
many times did he leave and come back, like at
least three or four with the Yankees going back to
an old job.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What was your experience? Is this something you recommend?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think, like I said, there's so few opportunities maybe
in your career. Even though the world's a bigger or
smaller place now, you could leave cities if you want.
But that's why you never burn bridges. Yet people still
always do for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Came back to the radio station.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I know this is a very la inside one, but
you may have heard of the radio show because they're
pretty famous back in the day. Kevin em Bean, didn't
Kevin of Kevin Emban is any like doing a show
on k Rock again by himself.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
There afternoons like, yeah, he's back, so it's one again.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Nostalgic reasons, Right, there's a built in fan base, there's familiarity,
there's a lot of pros and cons.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Do the pros that way? The cons is the question.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I work in Fox Sports Radio technically under the iHeart umbrella,
but I worked at a pop station in New York
Z one hundred when I was a younger guy.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I think it would be weird to go back there.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I feel like a lot of times people do
end up, like you said, at the same company, So
you never burn those bridges, like Cavino said.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But Rich Hill, how many teams? Fourteen different teams? But
he's being called up.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
The story is he's being called up by the Red
Sox to be the starting pitcher tonight, if I'm not
mistaken again for his fourteenth different team. So returning back
to the Bigs on the mount tonight, all right, I
gotta do this because when we talk about this stuff, Yeah,
I'm gonna put Isaac Lowencron on the spot because he's
a man of knowledge. You want to play a quick
round of on the road again. I'm gonna name a
(09:51):
baseball player. Oh jeez, see if you can name all
the teams they played for? Okay, all right, in no
particular order, but if you can name it consecutively, that's
that's impressive.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Do I get to phone a friend?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
All right? I'll give you one.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
How about old hass Radbourne from the eighteen ninety three
Cleveland Spiders of the players, That's.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Not who I was thinking of, But I'll give you one.
Hall of Famer hit a bird once? Oh, Randy Johnson.
Randy Johnson, give me Randy Johnson.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
We're gonna go Montreal, Okay, Seattle, Houston Astros, Yes, Arizona
diamond Back, New York Yankees, and I'm stuck after that.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He played one.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I'll give you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Oh Giants, the Giants.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Nice man, That is crazy. You got that on the
road again.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But no one's been down the road again more than
rich Hill, who tied the record today. Geez, can I
give you a tricky one? Since you're so good at this, Isaac,
I'll give you one more and then we'll do Mike
swords of wisdom. Yeah, one of my favorite sluggers. I
remember getting his upper deck and stadium club cards. Cavino
was a griffy guy. I was a Frank Thomas guy.
Frank Thomas, the big heart.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Gosh, I remember is the White Sox, But I don't.
I don't remember him playing for anybody else.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I really don't, And I throw out was he on huh?
Was he on the Orioles for a second? No, that's
really fun.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
He was a blue Jay, wasn't he a one?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
More?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He had a cup of coffee with.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Not a cup of coffee, A full season right American
League team?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh Oakland?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yah, I barely remember that. Then, eg, good one, and
that's how you play on the road again. But again,
the grand champion besides Lowan Crown is this guy Rich
hill Man Man like props to him. What's that game
that we all loved like two years ago? It was
like a little grid? Was it the baseball grid?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I forget the name of it. Yeah, I remember that
little It was a viral game for a minute.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Well they still do that, like on Baseball Reference dot com.
But there's also people that still play words or friends too.
I say, I mean some people just don't get over things.
My girlfriend still crushes candy everyone. There's people that are
doing sudoku. Yeah, but no, there was that baseball grid
game that everyone loved. Immaculate Grid, Immaculate Grid.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you know what, Rich Hill. I never thought to
use him in a bind. Yeah, I mean the guy
fourteen teams. He's forty five years old. He starts for
the Red Sox tonight. But it does make you think
it adds to the the common theme and storyline of
returning to the old job. He's back on the mound
and Dame Lillard back to the Trailblazers, Lebron back to Cleveland.
(12:34):
Maybe rumors, speculation, you know, is that a good move
or not? If anything, I'd say it signifies most of
the time, in the beginning of the end, if not
the end. You know, the crazy part about rich Hill
started in five Think of how the world has changed,
social media, smartphones, the way we communicate.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You and I officially started our show off.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Rich Hill has been around for over twenty baseball season.
So hey, congratulations, good luck, buddy boy. All right, it's
time to give away a swaggy if you could name,
well not if you can name. If you could repeat
the words of wisdom from Big Mike. He does this
every week. Sam, cue the music.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Can you know?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You notice how everyone other than us loves to remind
everyone that Mike doesn't run. I know, but if you
came here and witnessed what we witnessed, you would swear
he runs the place.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We started here, and I was like, does he run? iHeart?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I thought he was the premanent of I heart man
tiny office for a guy who runs, iHeart.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I just thought he was a man of the people.
He sent you, guys a memo your first week on
the job. Remember I run this place.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He's always yelling at people.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
All right, Well, he gives us words a wisdom. You
repeat it verbatim, win a prize. It's that simple. Take
it away Big Mike, who sort of runs his place.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
When one door opens and then another door opens, you
are probably in prison.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
If you could repeat it word for word, no mistakes.
You get one of our last swiggies. It's our stainless
steel water bottle, coveted prize Midnight black and look it's
perfect for the kids that are going back to school,
because we all know kids love to leave these in
the cafeteria at the ballpark. Water bottles are hard to
come by, and this one's a nice one.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Mike sounded like. Mike sounded like he really knew what
he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Then, I know, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Mike probably has some stories of the Big House, probably
was locked up with Nasty night at one point eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

If you could repeat it word for.
Speaker 2 (14:59):

of on the Road again?

of Rich Hill. In honor of Rich Hill, who tied
the record for fourteen different teams. Today, this guy, I'll

I was right.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
He was an All Star for this team. He played
there in two and three before he went to the Yankees.
It's a tough one, man. I'm trying to picture the
way you win this game. You just try to picture
them in the uniform.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I love that.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
We definitely here.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
See it our scoring mid Week Major Remix.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
If I go fast, we can give Spotty a full
nine minutes. It's like two minutes more than he's used
to all right, uh, before we got things of it
to the number one and only host of this segment.
We are rolling the two big red love dice at
the main studio.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I rolled an eight. Cove's got the eight. Oh, we
have to have a wrong off dude.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Last week we all picked the number eight. Remember, all right,
roll off. This is to see who gets the first take.
I got a four. Four should be able to beat
that Rich. It's dang a straight agges. That means Rich
gets to go first. And now ladies and gentlemen, the
most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Spotty boy, Hi guys, Hi spot how are you? What's up?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Mister buzzcut Hey, how's it going? Let me put the
glasses off. Spy secretly film you?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Spy who filmed me?
Speaker 8 (23:36):
All right, I'll kick off with a story that's been
on our minds. We've been talking about a lot, so
lots about pouring up sympathy after the passing of Ozzy
Osbourne yesterday, while Braves legend Chipper Jones chimed in as well,
saying that he and Ozzie will be forever linked by
his song Crazy Train. If you don't know, Jones used
Crazy Train as his walk up song during most of
his career, even sharing a funny story rich between him
(23:58):
and Mike Piazza, who during one played appearance, said that
Piazza said that he hated the song so much, and
Jones went back to them, We'll get ready to hear
it about five more times, so we just remember sharing
that little fun moment between them. Lots of sports other
sports organizations, of course, jumping in as well, including the Patriots,
who used Crazy Train as their intro to Patriots games
for the about twenty years.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
So midweek or major.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Dude all the barn all of boar.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I mean, if you go to a sporting event, there's
a good chance, I I, Ozzy Osbourne, dude Black Sabbath
will play.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
So I think it's I think it's major.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Chipper Jones just one of many that used an Ozzy
Osbourne or Sabbath songs as a walk up as a
crowd favorite.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It was there were stadium anthems.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Man, it really a major story because there's a lot
of people like I don't know that many Ozzy songs.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yes, you do.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
If you've been to a ballgame where stadium before, you've
heard them, or you've hear heard songs that were clearly
influenced by Ozzy Osbourne. Remember they created mental music. So
if you hear ac DC, you're any band has stadium anthems,
it's because of guys like Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath,
So we have to pay homage to him in the
(25:07):
world of sports. And I find it odd that Mike
Piazza didn't like that song. No, because he's such a
rock fan.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
He missed the story.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Then I didn't understand what I miss because that means
it signified Chipper Jones getting up.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I think he just hated the song.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That's what I have you missed the story pompous dufus,
because no, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Mike Piazza, I don't
know if you got a big rock fan. Yeah, That's
why I'm finding it interesting. I think he hated Crazy
Drink because it just met Chipper Jones was getting more
at that it made him maybe not like the song.
But I am still I'm still surprised to hear that
(25:42):
because this is what Chipper said. He said, hey, Mike,
how's it going? And then Piazza said, I'm doing fine, Larry,
but I hate this effing song.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Larry. Wow, I give Chippers some profits.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You know what, playing, I will say, a fun game
to play with Ozzy and Black Sabbath. We did this
with Tailor Swift a while back, where people are like,
don't know if I know many Tailor Swift songs, and
you probably know way more than you do. It goes
the same with Ozzy Osbourne. You may say, well, I'm
not really a rock guy. If you go through Ozzie's catalog,
you'd be like, oh, my God, that's another Ozzie song
that's not strictly based on longevity. Yeah, but like Spot,
(26:18):
you're not much like me. You're not a big rock guy.
You probably know five to tab Yeah, probably good?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah right.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
And a new interview with Busting with the Boys, former
player turned broadcaster Greg Olsen addressed his feelings about getting
pushed out for Tom Brady in the main Fox broadcasting lineup.
So he said, while he'sdmitted in the past that quote
resentment felt not far off. He explained that he has
zero animosity towards Brady. He said he doesn't just sit
there saying I hope they're broadcast st stinks. He acknowledged
(26:48):
it's independent from his personal aspirations of wanting to be
at the highest level possible. Calling the Super Bowl, he
says he wants to continue to elevate his career, but
he and Brady can both simultaneously achieve what they're going for,
So no animosity.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Midweeker major.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You know, I think it's major because I sort of
thought that in my mind. I did picture Greg Olson
when he wasn't having a tie, rapt around this head party,
get a wedding like a crazy man.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I love Greg Golson.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I assumed he's probably like, god damn tom Brady, like, well,
you know what, you could coexist and both be great.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But I know what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
As long as Tom Brady exists, he will have the
number one game. And if you're a gully Golson that
strives for greatness, you want to make it to the
super Bowl as a broadcaster, as.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Long as he's on Fox, he won't do that. As
long as Tom Brady's alive sucks. Yeah, that does suck.
It's true.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Tom Brady a thorn in his broadcasting side. It's a
major story. It is because I think out how big
it was and how much we defended Greg Golson saying,
hey man, he deserved it, and a lot of people
still think that. But Tom Brady's working hard at his craft.
It's just good to hear his side the story and
how he truly feels about it.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
All Right, some Little League drama going on in New Jersey.
I don't know if he saw this. And no, Covino
doesn't have to do with your twenty seven Little League
home runs records, your records, although this does have to
do with the Little League come run so twelve year
old Marco Rocco was suspended from playing in the state
tournament final game. Marcoroccock right, It tells me Rocco Marco
(28:24):
the most New Jersey Italian name ever after he did
a huge bat flip following a home run in his
last game. So the flip earned him an injection from
that game on top of his suspension. The hadden Field
Little leager, who was playing against Harris and Little League
at the time in a twelve ye game, is fighting
for eligibility, with his family filing an emergency temporary restraining
(28:44):
order trying to get the suspension overturned. He said that
umpires sited the bat flip as a safety concern and
the Little League International told the family that the child
broke a rule. His father said, this kids played Little
League's entire life. Has always wanted to be in the
World Series. The Division game is true or the twelve
year Division game is tomorrow disgusting. This is hold on
(29:05):
with the final decision coming down to the wire. The
judge will make a decision by one point thirty tomorrow,
so it's still up in the air.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Midweaker major. This is major, and I'll tell you what
it's major.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
It's disgusting that you would suspend a kid and eject
him for celebrating in the moment at the biggest stage
where a little kid and what do they emulate these superstars?
And bat flips are a part of what makes baseball exciting.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
We want the showmanship.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I'll be honest. A great bat flip is a big
part of Major League Baseball. These kids are just imitating
their heroes. This is disgusting that they would suspend this kid.
Maybe give him a warning, like, hey, sow down, buddy.
He's twelve, his career is over.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Now you teach's gonna be flipping pizzas you teach your
kid to work hard. Mark he does, Marco Roco, He
goes pizza.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
You want silly in a regular I used to flip pets.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Now I'm flipping pizza bets Marco Rocco.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Everything Rich said, Major said, They're just trying to be
like the big leaguers.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
It's as simple as that. That's what they see. I'm
a piece of each, piece of each Some drama kicking
up probably has no basis, but former NBA player Jeff
Tige discussing the best error of Lebron James, and according
to Teague, Lebron was forced to sit out after the
(30:26):
NBA began testing for HGH over a decade ago, alleging
that Waile on the heat, Lebron was on steroids and
the reason that he had to sit out was because
when they were doing the testing, he's apparently Lebron said
that his back hurt and sat out for three weeks
and came back skinny and apparently was like, you know,
all out of it, so Teague said, when he was
in the league at the time. The DA has said
(30:48):
that Lebron had no part in any performance enhancing drugs,
and fans are even calling out Teagu's allegations as false,
saying that you don't do something like this.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
So we'll see if anything comes of it. Mid Week
Er Major some weak sauce. Okay, who are you gonna.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Believe the DEA or the retired athlete that they might
have a bone to pick well Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
This depends on who you ask.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I think it's a mid story because it's not impossible
to think that a league would protect their superstar athletes.
You don't think the NBA protected Jordan at one point.
I think they did, and again that's just conspiracy and speculation.
But it's not impossible. I mean, Lebron has done some
pretty incredible things. He's a pretty ripped and muscular dude.
(31:29):
It's not impossible. Just no one wants to believe that,
and the NBA definitely doesn't want people to think that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I mean, anything and everything is post simpable. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I mean, it's true that I learned that from Barney
Stintson once, right, But definitely a mid story because I
have seen that story on social media, so it's a
it's a growing viral story.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Yeah. More exciting Lebron's story is him wrapping in front
of Jeff Bezos and Jeff Bezos recording him.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
That's the more exciting part.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Good, you want one more reason? Do you want to
hear about fat Joe?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
They mean curse Joe of course? Yeah, so reforms for.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
The Yankees Kamala Harris. Next, Well, we may have Berlanga Berlinga.
We may have the source of the curse. And that
may be because so the rapper revealed on his Joe
and Jada podcast that he hosts with Jadakiss that he
still drinks at least thirty to forty diet pepsis a day,
thirty to forty.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Dipeps a day.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
He said he developed the habit back in twenty thirteen
when he was spending four months in jail for tax evasion.
Said it was the only thing that he was able
to obtain behind bars, and the habit stuck and apparently
has no plans to stop. So maybe the source of
the Yankees losing the World Series DIYPEPSI maydewaker major damn.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I think he needs to give up the sodies. Yeah,
I mean, I know it's a diet, but I mean,
like that's a bit. It's like forty day. That's how
many I drink in six months. Right, there's water in those.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's the same saturation a day thirty.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
What'll do the math on that? That can't be good
for a lot of carbonation. Maybe he's actually wasteed than
you think. Maybe it's just all carbonated. I have a question,
hold on how many hours is a human awake usual,
Let's say sixteen hours. So this guy's averaging essentially like
two sodas an hour. Yeah, and they're caffeinated, aren't they. Yeah,
they're top soda is an hour. Those guys doing like
the Power Hour with this is ubsurd.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Gross.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, be better than that, major Yeah, don't be gross
like that. Yo, all right now he's just gross. Joe, alright,
thank you. All right, let's go to our pal in yours,
Isaac Lowing Crown for an update.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
Man.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
One Major League baseball game going on right now, guys.
The Minnesota Twins have taken a three to two lead
over the Dodgers in LA. They have just started the
ninth inning. The Dodgers got on the board first to
show hey o Tani Homert in his fifth consecutive game.
He now leads the majors with thirty seven on the mound.
Tyler Glass now struck out twelve and seven innings. We
were tied at one of the bottom of the seventh
(33:50):
when Tommy Edmund of the Dodgers had to go ahead
RBI single to put him up two to one. But
then the Twins scored two runs in the top of
the eighth for a three to two lead, and moments
ago the dodge had the bases loaded with two out
in the bottom of the eighth, but Miguel Rojas popped
out to second base. Top of the ninth atgat Dodgers Stadium,
the Twins leading the Dodgers three to two, the Dodgers
(34:10):
in danger of losing for the eleventh time in their
last fourteen Earlier, the Milwaukee Brewers had seventeen hits in
a ten two victory at Seattle. Rafael Devers two home
runs in San Francisco's nine to three win at Atlanta.
Justin Verlander his first victory of the season after an
zero to eight start on the mound, Mets over the
Angels six to three to sweep their three game series. Finally,
(34:30):
guys in the NFL, here's a peek into the window
of just how much money the NFL is rolling in.
The Green Bay Packers, being a publicly owned team, issued
their annual earnings report today. It revealed that the Packers
operating profit increased from the previous year by twenty three
(34:51):
point six million dollars. But even more interestingly enough, it
could be extrapolated from the Packers report that the NFL's
national revenues as a whole increased from the previous year
by nine hundred and thirty nine million dollars. From the
(35:11):
previous year to this year. That's even more of an
increase than my only fans based.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Ye, I knew it was close.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well, ticket prices up, concessions up, and those international games
have to be helping. And you know these mega deals
that the NFL are making, so wow, props to them.
I'll text you some ideas for your only fans. I
thank you, always open for business.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (35:31):

live from La Fox Sports Radio Studio. I have to
pull a Shepherd Smith, Rich. I hate when I have
(36:15):
to pull a Shepherd Smith. Let's have a retraction to
make We were talking about rich Hill before and my
boy Greg Mack not Craig mac Danny G's favorite rapper,
Greg mac greg mc hit me up at Covino and
Rich rich Hill took the mound. Today he returns to
the major leagues as the oldest active player in the
(36:37):
sport at forty five, for his fourteenth team tying reliever
Edwin Jackson.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We said all that, that's.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
A record fourteen different teams, but I said the Red Sox,
which he played for Royal. It's the Royals. Yeah, and
he pitched today. The team lost six to nothing to
the Cubs, So throw one more hell on his baseball reference.
That was yesterday, But still not sure what happened there
(37:05):
won't happen again, by the way. Speaking of Travis Matthew,
as Shepherd Smith said, if you watch Apple TV's Stick,
which I think is a great show, I believe the
finale is today, which is Wednesday, right, So Stick ten episodes.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Owen Wilson, Mark Maron.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
The kid that's the golfer they're mentoring is Happy Gilmore
Santy Wheeler, Santi the main character.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I was close.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
He's always wearing his Travis Matthew golf hat. So the
hats are on point. Yeah, they're so good all over
that show stick But anyway, sorry about.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
The mess up. The mess up.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Not sure what happened here won't happen again. But congrats
to Rich Hill with his appearance with the Royals, making
his fourteenth team.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I said Red Sox, which he did play for.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Well, good for you. You know our video guy spot after
watching the Cleveland Browns unveil the alpha dog uniform, the
all do do the all brad Ones.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's fo you said. You're convinced that the guy fell
on purpose into the lake. Yeah, if you look at
the alternate angle. I looked at it ESPN post.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
He doesn't he like it almost looks like an aggressive
stepped off FIM when past people I know someone for fact,
ready for fact, I'm not gonna say who, and don't
if you have an idea.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
But one of my girlfriends hot friends, they're all sitting
around like a hot tub. She decides to fall off
the hot tub.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I've seen this.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
That's all one act, bro, just to go viral. Hey,
guess what I'm hot sitting on a hot tub? Like,
why are you filming that? To begin with? Girls do
film hot tub?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
But do you know what I mean, like you capture
these sort of like things and you're like, why were
you rolling in the first place?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
All a big act for the gram. They want to
go viral, they want people to talk. They think it's
cute and guess what, it worked for the Browns. We
said it, but it work. The guy's talking about it.
I simply do hate though, that we live in a
world now where you have to assume fake. You have
to assume fake until proven like, no, it's real exactly.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Suck you, like, I feel like you have to fake.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I feel like once a week now there's a story
where someone's like, hey, you guys, got god. I think
I hate that feeling of like people are just trying
to constantly bamboozle you for clicks and likes.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I mean that's where we live in man. Yeah that's it.
Well oh sorry it was ai guys, My bad. I
don't like it. I know we talked about it like
a week ago.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
So I remember at Wimbledon everyone was falling in love
with this the hot new reporter and it turns out
she wasn't even real.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
All her pictures from Wimbledon were fake.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
She's a hot blonde girl they made up out of
thin air doesn't exist, so gross. Watch the video when
you get a chance. They unveiled the all brown uniform.
The Browns are rocking a brown helmet, jerseys, and pants.
Like I said, it looks like the uh mister Hanky
Christmas Pooh uniform. They're just all brown. And there's a
(40:06):
photographer that falls in a lake. And if you watch
a video from all the angles, now the thought is
was it a social media setup?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Well, you make the call. So thank you guys for
hanging out with us. We appreciate it all the feedback

(01:23):
before we do all that, our stainless steel water bottle.
By the way, Trey is still on standby. Maybe you
had a hard hitting question we couldn't fit in last hour. Yeah,
just for you, Trey, what's up my friend?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hey mean, that's nice for you guys to keep me on.
I was gonna say, being from the New York, can
y'all help me understand the five Burroughs in terms of
who's more Yankees, who's more Meds Jet? John, I'm just
confused by question.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Great question. I would say this is by there's no
real rhyme or reason. However, when you talk about who
roots for who, there are a lot of Mets Jets,
and for some reason Yankees giants that those usually cluster together. Well,
you mean the winners and the losers essentially, I mean,
be honest, Yeah, in a way. Well, even when we
(02:11):
worked at s n Y, it was Mets Jets and
all things New York sports. So they even share sort
of a network network. But it really is that back
in the day rhyme. Back in the day, I don't
think rhyming has anything. Rhyme and a reason, but no reason.
The rhyme is the Mets and Jets and the Nets.
(02:32):
The reason is you root for losers. Well, I think Queens,
if you know the Five Boroughs, Queens is sort of
on the way to Long Island, right, so you talk
about Queens is closer Flushing Queens is closer to Long Island.
So if you grew up on Long Island, there's a
decent chance you may lean Mets Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's a flip of a coin. Jersey's like, you know,
across the river.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But I say there's more Yankees fans in Jersey though,
and you could tell them by the Guido Jersey mentality
of the twenty seven rings, the ooh, the Jersey short
type of guy does lean.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yankees a little more. I think I think.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You're gonna go like Long Island Queens that direction east
Mets Jersey and like City the Bronx, Yanks, Jets, people
with terrible taste, giants, people that like to win every
you know, ten years with a goon quarterback, but Nicks,
(03:31):
I mean everyone loves the Knicks. I don't know any
real Nets fans and any other thoughts Islanders, Long Islands Rangers.
I feel like I feel like you you nailed it.
I feel like you confused it a little bit for
other people listening. But is therest part you covered it?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Is there a stronghold of Phillies fans in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
South Jersey. There's a point in South Jersey, cherry like.
Once you get beyond like where Snooky in the situation
hung out. Once you get beyond a certain point in
South Jersey, then you start hitting people that associate more
with Philly than New York, which is a whole separate.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Conversation, right, been there, I've experienced all that. Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
They're pumping their fists and they might have a Bryce
Harper Jersey on melting melting, But you know, to bring
it full circle out here in La is there if
you're down the down the coast enough maybe Angels, But I.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Don't really know many Angels fans, right.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I mean, growing up when I was a little kid
here in southern California, it was a lot of Raiders, Dodgers,
Lakers fans. Yeah, you can see those three logos together
on one sticker.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Oh yeah, I know more Mexican dudes out here in
La named Angel than I know Angels. Fits true story,
it's true story, no Angel, Yeah, it's true and rich.
Before we get into the words of wisdom, Yeah, speaking
of baseball and speaking, I wanted to talk about going
back to an old job because it seems to be
like an underlying theme if you pay attention to what's
(04:50):
going on with Dame Lillard. The talks of Lebron like
it could be the fitting ending if he goes back
to Cleveland, or is that week because Dame beat him
to the punch? The other speculation there and then the
school was that video really quick of Dame walking back
into the locker room all emotional.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I mean, it's the.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Story book ending, you know, the what's the word I'm
thinking of the term, I'm thinking of bookends. Book You
bookend your career where you started. It's nice, you know,
we see that a lot. Dinny Griffy did that. For
a second, I forgot for a second he did. Yeah,
I'm trying to think who else did that? Who else
comes to mind? You know, they went back just for
(05:31):
the retirement purposes of calling it. Tino came back to
the Yankees, even though I still think of him as
a Mariner in a lot of ways, he did come
back to the Yanks.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It would be like if Lebron went back to Cleveland
to end his career.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, but that's the story, right, So going back to
an old job, an old X is it worth it?
Is there a reason you left? Do you want to
say you're goodbyes? There's another story today that sort of
ties into it, where for thirty five year old pitcher
Rich Hill comes back to the Major League.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Isn't that I love this? It's not like.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
He's coming back to an old team, but he is
returning back to the Bigs, and it's his fourteenth team.
So if you look at his stats, who if you
look at his Baseball Reference or his Baseball Card, fourteen teams,
which ties the most most teams played for.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
In his twenty first season.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And then I had to look it up Rich, I'm like, well,
who the hell played for more than fourteen teams? And
Rich and I had the same stupid thought, like Kenny Lofton,
like Ricky Anderson, Yeah, like who played longer team ten
and bounced around and apparently it's Edwin Jackson, right handed
pitcher from twenty three to twenty nineteen, played for fourteen teams,
and before Jackson set the record, Octavio Dotel held it
(06:54):
with appearances for thirteen different teams between ninety nine and
twenty thirteen, according to Chad Gpt. But based on that,
how do you feel about going back to an old job?
I like, you never say never, and that's why you
never burned bridges because there's only so many opportunities in
life when it comes to women.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Like we've heard stories where it works out great.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think a lot of times with women and sports
two of my favorite things. Yeah, I think that second
time around, it's gonna be hard to top the first time,
unless maybe you dated when you were young and it
didn't work out and then you guys found love again
and it's like you remember a lot of dating experts
call that the pet cemetery theory, where you go back,
(07:36):
but you know it's not the same, it's not the
same person.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I can't and you'll remember.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You start to remember why all the problems were there
in the beginning, why you left in the first place.
I can't tell you one athlete that returned to a
team and was better the second time around. Usually it's
like a beautiful farewell where it's like, hey, they're back,
but they're not what they were.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Remember Tom Seaver came back to.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The Mets for a second when we were little kids,
Like please, people come back to it team for a
second cup of coffee, as they say, right, Yeah, it's
kind of cool because I mean you see a lot
of players that leave and come back. I mean even
managers leave and come back as they have history with
that team. The old Billy Martin sort of theory. How
(08:18):
many times did he leave and come back, like at
least three or four with the Yankees going back to
an old job.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What was your experience? Is this something you recommend?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think, like I said, there's so few opportunities maybe
in your career. Even though the world's a bigger or
smaller place now, you could leave cities if you want.
But that's why you never burn bridges. Yet people still
always do for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Came back to the radio station.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I know this is a very la inside one, but
you may have heard of the radio show because they're
pretty famous back in the day. Kevin em Bean, didn't
Kevin of Kevin Emban is any like doing a show
on k Rock again by himself.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
There afternoons like, yeah, he's back, so it's one again.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Nostalgic reasons, Right, there's a built in fan base, there's familiarity,
there's a lot of pros and cons.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Do the pros that way? The cons is the question.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I work in Fox Sports Radio technically under the iHeart umbrella,
but I worked at a pop station in New York
Z one hundred when I was a younger guy.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I think it would be weird to go back there.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I feel like a lot of times people do
end up, like you said, at the same company, So
you never burn those bridges, like Cavino said.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But Rich Hill, how many teams? Fourteen different teams? But
he's being called up.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
The story is he's being called up by the Red
Sox to be the starting pitcher tonight, if I'm not
mistaken again for his fourteenth different team. So returning back
to the Bigs on the mount tonight, all right, I
gotta do this because when we talk about this stuff, Yeah,
I'm gonna put Isaac Lowencron on the spot because he's
a man of knowledge. You want to play a quick
round of on the road again. I'm gonna name a
(09:51):
baseball player. Oh jeez, see if you can name all
the teams they played for? Okay, all right, in no
particular order, but if you can name it consecutively, that's
that's impressive.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Do I get to phone a friend?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
All right? I'll give you one.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
How about old hass Radbourne from the eighteen ninety three
Cleveland Spiders of the players, That's.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Not who I was thinking of, But I'll give you one.
Hall of Famer hit a bird once? Oh, Randy Johnson.
Randy Johnson, give me Randy Johnson.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
We're gonna go Montreal, Okay, Seattle, Houston Astros, Yes, Arizona
diamond Back, New York Yankees, and I'm stuck after that.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He played one.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I'll give you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Oh Giants, the Giants.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Nice man, That is crazy. You got that on the
road again.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But no one's been down the road again more than
rich Hill, who tied the record today. Geez, can I
give you a tricky one? Since you're so good at this, Isaac,
I'll give you one more and then we'll do Mike
swords of wisdom. Yeah, one of my favorite sluggers. I
remember getting his upper deck and stadium club cards. Cavino
was a griffy guy. I was a Frank Thomas guy.
Frank Thomas, the big heart.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Gosh, I remember is the White Sox, But I don't.
I don't remember him playing for anybody else.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I really don't, And I throw out was he on huh?
Was he on the Orioles for a second? No, that's
really fun.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
He was a blue Jay, wasn't he a one?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
More?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He had a cup of coffee with.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Not a cup of coffee, A full season right American
League team?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh Oakland?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yah, I barely remember that. Then, eg, good one, and
that's how you play on the road again. But again,
the grand champion besides Lowan Crown is this guy Rich
hill Man Man like props to him. What's that game
that we all loved like two years ago? It was
like a little grid? Was it the baseball grid?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I forget the name of it. Yeah, I remember that
little It was a viral game for a minute.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Well they still do that, like on Baseball Reference dot com.
But there's also people that still play words or friends too.
I say, I mean some people just don't get over things.
My girlfriend still crushes candy everyone. There's people that are
doing sudoku. Yeah, but no, there was that baseball grid
game that everyone loved. Immaculate Grid, Immaculate Grid.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you know what, Rich Hill. I never thought to
use him in a bind. Yeah, I mean the guy
fourteen teams. He's forty five years old. He starts for
the Red Sox tonight. But it does make you think
it adds to the the common theme and storyline of
returning to the old job. He's back on the mound
and Dame Lillard back to the Trailblazers, Lebron back to Cleveland.
(12:34):
Maybe rumors, speculation, you know, is that a good move
or not? If anything, I'd say it signifies most of
the time, in the beginning of the end, if not
the end. You know, the crazy part about rich Hill
started in five Think of how the world has changed,
social media, smartphones, the way we communicate.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You and I officially started our show off.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Rich Hill has been around for over twenty baseball season.
So hey, congratulations, good luck, buddy boy. All right, it's
time to give away a swaggy if you could name,
well not if you can name. If you could repeat
the words of wisdom from Big Mike. He does this
every week. Sam, cue the music.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Can you know?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You notice how everyone other than us loves to remind
everyone that Mike doesn't run. I know, but if you
came here and witnessed what we witnessed, you would swear
he runs the place.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We started here, and I was like, does he run? iHeart?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I thought he was the premanent of I heart man
tiny office for a guy who runs, iHeart.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I just thought he was a man of the people.
He sent you, guys a memo your first week on
the job. Remember I run this place.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He's always yelling at people.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
All right, Well, he gives us words a wisdom. You
repeat it verbatim, win a prize. It's that simple. Take
it away Big Mike, who sort of runs his place.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
When one door opens and then another door opens, you
are probably in prison.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
If you could repeat it word for word, no mistakes.
You get one of our last swiggies. It's our stainless
steel water bottle, coveted prize Midnight black and look it's
perfect for the kids that are going back to school,
because we all know kids love to leave these in
the cafeteria at the ballpark. Water bottles are hard to
come by, and this one's a nice one.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Mike sounded like. Mike sounded like he really knew what
he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Then, I know, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Mike probably has some stories of the Big House, probably
was locked up with Nasty night at one point eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

If you could repeat it word for.
Speaker 2 (14:59):

of Rich Hill. In honor of Rich Hill, who tied
the record for fourteen different teams. Today, this guy, I'll

Gary Sheffield was a brewer, andre and a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (15:59):

I think Dodgers, he said, we said that already. Well,
I was right.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
He was an All Star for this team. He played
there in two and three before he went to the Yankees.
It's a tough one, man. I'm trying to picture the
way you win this game. You just try to picture
them in the uniform.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now you give us a hand.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, nationally Oh that narrows the National League East, not
the oh Nationally East.

nine minutes. It's like two minutes more than he's used
to all right, uh, before we got things of it
to the number one and only host of this segment.
We are rolling the two big red love dice at
the main studio.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I rolled an eight. Cove's got the eight. Oh, we
have to have a wrong off dude.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Last week we all picked the number eight. Remember, all right,
roll off. This is to see who gets the first take.
I got a four. Four should be able to beat
that Rich. It's dang a straight agges. That means Rich
gets to go first. And now ladies and gentlemen, the
most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Spotty boy, Hi guys, Hi spot how are you? What's up?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Mister buzzcut Hey, how's it going? Let me put the
glasses off. Spy secretly film you?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Spy who filmed me?
Speaker 8 (23:36):
All right, I'll kick off with a story that's been
on our minds. We've been talking about a lot, so
lots about pouring up sympathy after the passing of Ozzy
Osbourne yesterday, while Braves legend Chipper Jones chimed in as well,
saying that he and Ozzie will be forever linked by
his song Crazy Train. If you don't know, Jones used
Crazy Train as his walk up song during most of
his career, even sharing a funny story rich between him
(23:58):
and Mike Piazza, who during one played appearance, said that
Piazza said that he hated the song so much, and
Jones went back to them, We'll get ready to hear
it about five more times, so we just remember sharing
that little fun moment between them. Lots of sports other
sports organizations, of course, jumping in as well, including the Patriots,
who used Crazy Train as their intro to Patriots games
for the about twenty years.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
So midweek or major.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Dude all the barn all of boar.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I mean, if you go to a sporting event, there's
a good chance, I I, Ozzy Osbourne, dude Black Sabbath
will play.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
So I think it's I think it's major.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Chipper Jones just one of many that used an Ozzy
Osbourne or Sabbath songs as a walk up as a
crowd favorite.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It was there were stadium anthems.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Man, it really a major story because there's a lot
of people like I don't know that many Ozzy songs.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yes, you do.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
If you've been to a ballgame where stadium before, you've
heard them, or you've hear heard songs that were clearly
influenced by Ozzy Osbourne. Remember they created mental music. So
if you hear ac DC, you're any band has stadium anthems,
it's because of guys like Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath,
So we have to pay homage to him in the
(25:07):
world of sports. And I find it odd that Mike
Piazza didn't like that song. No, because he's such a
rock fan.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
He missed the story.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Then I didn't understand what I miss because that means
it signified Chipper Jones getting up.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I think he just hated the song.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That's what I have you missed the story pompous dufus,
because no, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Mike Piazza, I don't
know if you got a big rock fan. Yeah, That's
why I'm finding it interesting. I think he hated Crazy
Drink because it just met Chipper Jones was getting more
at that it made him maybe not like the song.
But I am still I'm still surprised to hear that
(25:42):
because this is what Chipper said. He said, hey, Mike,
how's it going? And then Piazza said, I'm doing fine, Larry,
but I hate this effing song.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Larry. Wow, I give Chippers some profits.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You know what, playing, I will say, a fun game
to play with Ozzy and Black Sabbath. We did this
with Tailor Swift a while back, where people are like,
don't know if I know many Tailor Swift songs, and
you probably know way more than you do. It goes
the same with Ozzy Osbourne. You may say, well, I'm
not really a rock guy. If you go through Ozzie's catalog,
you'd be like, oh, my God, that's another Ozzie song
that's not strictly based on longevity. Yeah, but like Spot,
(26:18):
you're not much like me. You're not a big rock guy.
You probably know five to tab Yeah, probably good?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah right.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
And a new interview with Busting with the Boys, former
player turned broadcaster Greg Olsen addressed his feelings about getting
pushed out for Tom Brady in the main Fox broadcasting lineup.
So he said, while he'sdmitted in the past that quote
resentment felt not far off. He explained that he has
zero animosity towards Brady. He said he doesn't just sit
there saying I hope they're broadcast st stinks. He acknowledged
(26:48):
it's independent from his personal aspirations of wanting to be
at the highest level possible. Calling the Super Bowl, he
says he wants to continue to elevate his career, but
he and Brady can both simultaneously achieve what they're going for,
So no animosity.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Midweeker major.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You know, I think it's major because I sort of
thought that in my mind. I did picture Greg Olson
when he wasn't having a tie, rapt around this head party,
get a wedding like a crazy man.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I love Greg Golson.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I assumed he's probably like, god damn tom Brady, like, well,
you know what, you could coexist and both be great.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But I know what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
As long as Tom Brady exists, he will have the
number one game. And if you're a gully Golson that
strives for greatness, you want to make it to the
super Bowl as a broadcaster, as.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Long as he's on Fox, he won't do that. As
long as Tom Brady's alive sucks. Yeah, that does suck.
It's true.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Tom Brady a thorn in his broadcasting side. It's a
major story. It is because I think out how big
it was and how much we defended Greg Golson saying,
hey man, he deserved it, and a lot of people
still think that. But Tom Brady's working hard at his craft.
It's just good to hear his side the story and
how he truly feels about it.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
All Right, some Little League drama going on in New Jersey.
I don't know if he saw this. And no, Covino
doesn't have to do with your twenty seven Little League
home runs records, your records, although this does have to
do with the Little League come run so twelve year
old Marco Rocco was suspended from playing in the state
tournament final game. Marcoroccock right, It tells me Rocco Marco
(28:24):
the most New Jersey Italian name ever after he did
a huge bat flip following a home run in his
last game. So the flip earned him an injection from
that game on top of his suspension. The hadden Field
Little leager, who was playing against Harris and Little League
at the time in a twelve ye game, is fighting
for eligibility, with his family filing an emergency temporary restraining
(28:44):
order trying to get the suspension overturned. He said that
umpires sited the bat flip as a safety concern and
the Little League International told the family that the child
broke a rule. His father said, this kids played Little
League's entire life. Has always wanted to be in the
World Series. The Division game is true or the twelve
year Division game is tomorrow disgusting. This is hold on
(29:05):
with the final decision coming down to the wire. The
judge will make a decision by one point thirty tomorrow,
so it's still up in the air.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Midweaker major. This is major, and I'll tell you what
it's major.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
It's disgusting that you would suspend a kid and eject
him for celebrating in the moment at the biggest stage
where a little kid and what do they emulate these superstars?
And bat flips are a part of what makes baseball exciting.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
We want the showmanship.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I'll be honest. A great bat flip is a big
part of Major League Baseball. These kids are just imitating
their heroes. This is disgusting that they would suspend this kid.
Maybe give him a warning, like, hey, sow down, buddy.
He's twelve, his career is over.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Now you teach's gonna be flipping pizzas you teach your
kid to work hard. Mark he does, Marco Roco, He
goes pizza.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
You want silly in a regular I used to flip pets.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Now I'm flipping pizza bets Marco Rocco.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Everything Rich said, Major said, They're just trying to be
like the big leaguers.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
It's as simple as that. That's what they see. I'm
a piece of each, piece of each Some drama kicking
up probably has no basis, but former NBA player Jeff
Tige discussing the best error of Lebron James, and according
to Teague, Lebron was forced to sit out after the
(30:26):
NBA began testing for HGH over a decade ago, alleging
that Waile on the heat, Lebron was on steroids and
the reason that he had to sit out was because
when they were doing the testing, he's apparently Lebron said
that his back hurt and sat out for three weeks
and came back skinny and apparently was like, you know,
all out of it, so Teague said, when he was
in the league at the time. The DA has said
(30:48):
that Lebron had no part in any performance enhancing drugs,
and fans are even calling out Teagu's allegations as false,
saying that you don't do something like this.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
So we'll see if anything comes of it. Mid Week
Er Major some weak sauce. Okay, who are you gonna.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Believe the DEA or the retired athlete that they might
have a bone to pick well Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
This depends on who you ask.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I think it's a mid story because it's not impossible
to think that a league would protect their superstar athletes.
You don't think the NBA protected Jordan at one point.
I think they did, and again that's just conspiracy and speculation.
But it's not impossible. I mean, Lebron has done some
pretty incredible things. He's a pretty ripped and muscular dude.
(31:29):
It's not impossible. Just no one wants to believe that,
and the NBA definitely doesn't want people to think that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I mean, anything and everything is post simpable. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I mean, it's true that I learned that from Barney
Stintson once, right, But definitely a mid story because I
have seen that story on social media, so it's a
it's a growing viral story.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Yeah. More exciting Lebron's story is him wrapping in front
of Jeff Bezos and Jeff Bezos recording him.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
That's the more exciting part.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Good, you want one more reason? Do you want to
hear about fat Joe?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
They mean curse Joe of course? Yeah, so reforms for.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
The Yankees Kamala Harris. Next, Well, we may have Berlanga Berlinga.
We may have the source of the curse. And that
may be because so the rapper revealed on his Joe
and Jada podcast that he hosts with Jadakiss that he
still drinks at least thirty to forty diet pepsis a day,
thirty to forty.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Dipeps a day.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
He said he developed the habit back in twenty thirteen
when he was spending four months in jail for tax evasion.
Said it was the only thing that he was able
to obtain behind bars, and the habit stuck and apparently
has no plans to stop. So maybe the source of
the Yankees losing the World Series DIYPEPSI maydewaker major damn.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I think he needs to give up the sodies. Yeah,
I mean, I know it's a diet, but I mean,
like that's a bit. It's like forty day. That's how
many I drink in six months. Right, there's water in those.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's the same saturation a day thirty.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
What'll do the math on that? That can't be good
for a lot of carbonation. Maybe he's actually wasteed than
you think. Maybe it's just all carbonated. I have a question,
hold on how many hours is a human awake usual,
Let's say sixteen hours. So this guy's averaging essentially like
two sodas an hour. Yeah, and they're caffeinated, aren't they. Yeah,
they're top soda is an hour. Those guys doing like
the Power Hour with this is ubsurd.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Gross.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, be better than that, major Yeah, don't be gross
like that. Yo, all right now he's just gross. Joe, alright,
thank you. All right, let's go to our pal in yours,
Isaac Lowing Crown for an update.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
Man.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
One Major League baseball game going on right now, guys.
The Minnesota Twins have taken a three to two lead
over the Dodgers in LA. They have just started the
ninth inning. The Dodgers got on the board first to
show hey o Tani Homert in his fifth consecutive game.
He now leads the majors with thirty seven on the mound.
Tyler Glass now struck out twelve and seven innings. We
were tied at one of the bottom of the seventh
(33:50):
when Tommy Edmund of the Dodgers had to go ahead
RBI single to put him up two to one. But
then the Twins scored two runs in the top of
the eighth for a three to two lead, and moments
ago the dodge had the bases loaded with two out
in the bottom of the eighth, but Miguel Rojas popped
out to second base. Top of the ninth atgat Dodgers Stadium,
the Twins leading the Dodgers three to two, the Dodgers
(34:10):
in danger of losing for the eleventh time in their
last fourteen Earlier, the Milwaukee Brewers had seventeen hits in
a ten two victory at Seattle. Rafael Devers two home
runs in San Francisco's nine to three win at Atlanta.
Justin Verlander his first victory of the season after an
zero to eight start on the mound, Mets over the
Angels six to three to sweep their three game series. Finally,
(34:30):
guys in the NFL, here's a peek into the window
of just how much money the NFL is rolling in.
The Green Bay Packers, being a publicly owned team, issued
their annual earnings report today. It revealed that the Packers
operating profit increased from the previous year by twenty three
(34:51):
point six million dollars. But even more interestingly enough, it
could be extrapolated from the Packers report that the NFL's
national revenues as a whole increased from the previous year
by nine hundred and thirty nine million dollars. From the
(35:11):
previous year to this year. That's even more of an
increase than my only fans based.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Ye, I knew it was close.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well, ticket prices up, concessions up, and those international games
have to be helping. And you know these mega deals
that the NFL are making, so wow, props to them.
I'll text you some ideas for your only fans. I
thank you, always open for business.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (35:31):

live from La Fox Sports Radio Studio. I have to
pull a Shepherd Smith, Rich. I hate when I have
(36:15):
to pull a Shepherd Smith. Let's have a retraction to
make We were talking about rich Hill before and my
boy Greg Mack not Craig mac Danny G's favorite rapper,
Greg mac greg mc hit me up at Covino and
Rich rich Hill took the mound. Today he returns to
the major leagues as the oldest active player in the
(36:37):
sport at forty five, for his fourteenth team tying reliever
Edwin Jackson.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We said all that, that's.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
A record fourteen different teams, but I said the Red Sox,
which he played for Royal. It's the Royals. Yeah, and
he pitched today. The team lost six to nothing to
the Cubs, So throw one more hell on his baseball reference.
That was yesterday, But still not sure what happened there
(37:05):
won't happen again, by the way. Speaking of Travis Matthew,
as Shepherd Smith said, if you watch Apple TV's Stick,
which I think is a great show, I believe the
finale is today, which is Wednesday, right, So Stick ten episodes.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Owen Wilson, Mark Maron.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
The kid that's the golfer they're mentoring is Happy Gilmore
Santy Wheeler, Santi the main character.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I was close.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
He's always wearing his Travis Matthew golf hat. So the
hats are on point. Yeah, they're so good all over
that show stick But anyway, sorry about.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
The mess up. The mess up.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Not sure what happened here won't happen again. But congrats
to Rich Hill with his appearance with the Royals, making
his fourteenth team.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I said Red Sox, which he did play for.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Well, good for you. You know our video guy spot after
watching the Cleveland Browns unveil the alpha dog uniform, the
all do do the all brad Ones.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's fo you said. You're convinced that the guy fell
on purpose into the lake. Yeah, if you look at
the alternate angle. I looked at it ESPN post.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
He doesn't he like it almost looks like an aggressive
stepped off FIM when past people I know someone for fact,
ready for fact, I'm not gonna say who, and don't
if you have an idea.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
But one of my girlfriends hot friends, they're all sitting
around like a hot tub. She decides to fall off
the hot tub.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I've seen this.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
That's all one act, bro, just to go viral. Hey,
guess what I'm hot sitting on a hot tub? Like,
why are you filming that? To begin with? Girls do
film hot tub?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
But do you know what I mean, like you capture
these sort of like things and you're like, why were
you rolling in the first place?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
All a big act for the gram. They want to
go viral, they want people to talk. They think it's
cute and guess what, it worked for the Browns. We
said it, but it work. The guy's talking about it.
I simply do hate though, that we live in a
world now where you have to assume fake. You have
to assume fake until proven like, no, it's real exactly.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Suck you, like, I feel like you have to fake.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I feel like once a week now there's a story
where someone's like, hey, you guys, got god. I think
I hate that feeling of like people are just trying
to constantly bamboozle you for clicks and likes.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I mean that's where we live in man. Yeah that's it.
Well oh sorry it was ai guys, My bad. I
don't like it. I know we talked about it like
a week ago.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
So I remember at Wimbledon everyone was falling in love
with this the hot new reporter and it turns out
she wasn't even real.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
All her pictures from Wimbledon were fake.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
She's a hot blonde girl they made up out of
thin air doesn't exist, so gross. Watch the video when
you get a chance. They unveiled the all brown uniform.
The Browns are rocking a brown helmet, jerseys, and pants.
Like I said, it looks like the uh mister Hanky
Christmas Pooh uniform. They're just all brown. And there's a
(40:06):
photographer that falls in a lake. And if you watch
a video from all the angles, now the thought is
was it a social media setup?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Well, you make the call. So thank you guys for
hanging out with us. We appreciate it all the feedback
