Speaker 2 (00:16):
Day on the iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Do you know how Charlie Sheen got the whole Tiger
Blood winning?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Do you know who he got that from?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I saw the clips, so I had sheet, but I
did not know before I saw the guy.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Either, did I before I saw the clip of Charlie Sheen?
On Rogan you know Charlie Sheen, big baseball guy. So
he's watching highlights in the twenty teens and he sees
Brian Wilson.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
When was on top of his game. Fear the beard.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Brian Wilson, not Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, as
Joe Rogan thought, which is fair. Brian Wilson of the
Giants the beard, and then Romo had the beard. The
whole team had the beard, Everyone in the stands had
the beard. Fear the beard, very eccentric, nasty reliever. Yeah,
you're right, So the beard.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
He lived in a Volkswagen bus.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Brian Wilson impressed Charlie Sheen so much when Sheen, who
loves baseball, was watching highlights that he told his best
friend and by the way, everyone needs a friend like
Tony Todd.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
He's like, Tony, get him on the phone.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
So Tony Todd gets Brian Wilson of the Giants on
the phone for Charlie Sheen, and they're just chopping it up,
talking baseball, talking life, and Brian Wilson says to Charlie Sheen,
you know guys like us, You know, Charlie, I'm glad
you called.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Guys like us have tiger blood. We don't know what
it's like to lose. We're so busy winning. We have
a Donnas DNA.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
And when that infamous interview aired, all that stuff was
stored in his cracked out brain and it just came
spilling out and went viral in the life and life
was never the same when Charlie Sheen, like when he
got shook in that interview, that conversation where Brian Wilson
came to the forefront winning so fire because all those years,

(02:07):
you know, we gave him the credit and he made
it famous he took the ball and ran with it,
but it was from Brian Wilson, the reliever, by the way, peculiar,
awesome baseball pitcher. Are you not shocked though, that over
the last fifteen years none of us have heard that story,
Like Brian Wilson, even in an interview, hasn't ever said, Hey,

(02:28):
you know the whole Tiger Blood winning thing.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I mean, Charlie Sheen, that was like my thing.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Well, you know what was interesting too, is Charlie Sheen
told the story as if Brian Wilson was giving him
a pep talk of sorts, and that's how he perceived it,
and it fired him up and he just blurted it
out and that was it.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Brian Wilson was really good. I remember covering a couple
of All Star Games that he would appear in, but
there was there was something there. But when he said
it at first it took me a second. I'm like, ah, yes,
that Brian Wilson, Absolutely, it makes sense sense.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Hio Romo took over that role years later on with
the with the and he also had the beard. You
needed to have a beard at one point to be
a dominant closer for the giants. So really you know
what it is Brian Wilson, And if you look back,
I promise you he started the explosion of the beard.
I give him the credit, and I have for years.
The beard always existed, but for us in our generation,

(03:23):
it really wasn't that much of a thing. Everyone in
the stance they had beard night, they were growing beards.
The beard came back, he was going for the beard.
Look around now every group of buddies has at least
one or two guys with a beard. Back then, when
he had that beard, it was almost like wow, well
that's what made him stand out. He died it and
it was out of control and he was known for it,
fear the beard, and it became a trend. So I
give him not only credit for starting the beard revolution

(03:44):
all over again. I don't think we saw beards like
this since the old presidential days.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Rutherford B.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Hayes.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yes, since Rutherford B. Hayes started his trend.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
And then you got to give him credit for the
winning and a Donnas DNA and Tiger Blenna last stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
He's a trend center. Brian Wilson, who new in the
machine too.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Don't forget don't forget about that guy.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Don't remember the machine. Who's the machine? Who's the machine?
The guy in leather in the background during his interviews?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
You don't remember that, oh, Charlie Sheen interviews.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
No, just of the Brian Wilson interviews.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
The machine.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I know DJ Lay Machine Mayhew.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I know the Machines, which are a terrible WWE tag
team for a minute, the machines, which was Andre the
giant in the mass. I know Bert Kreischer the machine.
So Pat Burrell, that's what he's talking about. No, I
do know Pat Burrell, all right. So that's the backstory
that we didn't know until this past week because Charlie

(04:43):
Sheen's all over the place courtesy of his new book
and documentary on Netflix, which, by the way, we are
shouted out in which is funny. Kind of our show
name does appear in episode two of the Charlie Sheen documentary.
So we're Cadino and rich broadcasting live the Fox Sports
Radio Studio. Covino and Rich adonnas DNA. How do we

(05:04):

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Who cares Yankees play the Twins tonight? Hope all your
teams are winning. We're one day closer to Thursday Night football.
We'll talk about it, and we're gonna talk celebrating home run,
speaking of baseball and midweek major next Wednesday, words of wisdom.
We're giving away prizes like we always do. You're promising
so much. Now we're gonna get to it right now.
We're talking Luca and Pooka before that, real quick. Yesterday

(05:56):
we paid tribute to Robert Redford at the very end
of the show and we posted a clip on our
Instagram and Twitter and all that at Covine and Rich
talking about is the is he one of the goats
when it comes to sports movie actors, the natural is
Roy Hobbs.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
You know, is that the one?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Is that the king of all baseball movies?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:18):
And I bring that up because I got to give
a shout out to again multi time Emmy Award winner
John de Marcicco of the Mets sn Y. We worked
with him at SNY. John just won another Emmy Award.
I want to get him on our bonus pod over promised.
I'm sure you guys have seen on social media how
during some of the Mets games he does like cinematic.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
They get all artsy.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
He gets all artsy and cinematic where the way he
does split screens and fades and everything like he takes
it real serious. Yesterday, during Brett Badi's home run, he
had the lights at City Field and then he had
firework explosions and it looked like Roy Hobbs, like he
sort of replicated shot for shot the natural.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh really, yeah, it's pretty cool. That is very cool.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
So yeah, catch our clip at Covino and Rich we
debated it would love your input. Rest in peace, Robert
Redford and rest in peace. The days of hard work
and pride and what you do rest in peace to
the older generations that paved the way and they taught
us how to grind. Grandpappy who worked at the same
company for sixty years at the.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
Mill, real men who work until they're eighty years old. Yeah,
anyone else's grandfather?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Anyone else have a grandpappy that worked at the same
place for like fifty years and he got like a
watch when he retired.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was that generation. That was the World War Two general.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Grandpappy, he's had like mangled something like my grandpappy, Tom Cavino,
great man, mangled fingers. He was a butcher like his
whole life. My grandfather Bill Dempsey, my mom's dad. Yeah,
nine fingers.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
What is up with that?

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Because they worked hard, they fought in wars.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Different generation and that generation taught our parents to work
hard and pick a career and.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
They taught us.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
But study show our grandparents have the most influence on us.
So we saw, we know their story and they sort
of instilled that work ethic to us. But the newer generation,
I'm not saying they got it wrong, but they think different.
And we're seeing it in two related stories, and both

(08:24):
of those stories are from superstar athletes.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Luca and Pooka, Luca and Pooka, Luca.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
And pook Interestingly enough, Cavino and by the way, they
said this separately. It just so happens to rhyme. It's
not like they were hanging out. They're not a new
tag team duo coming down the aisle. Yes, total coincidence. Guy,
So I'll start with Pooka. You could take Luca. Okay,
Actually I'll start with Luca. Luca says, and this is

(08:50):
according to Bleacher Report and a bunch of other sources,
says he doesn't want a Lebron length career. Laker's Luca
dancik Is is not eyeing a Lebron length career. He's
very interested in ownership moving forward, like this is just
a means to an end, just his pathway to something bigger. Yeah,

(09:11):
I'm sure he loves basketball, but it's not the be
all end all. He wants to be a businessman. This
is just part of the journey. Like we always say it.
I forget who originated it, but we always say because
when these dudes retire, athletes retire, they're young. They're an
old man on the court, but a young man in life.
I think that's a Derek Cheater thing, because I remember
when Jeter retired he was like, man, old ass. Derek

(09:33):
jud It's like, oh there's Derek Juden's like forty old
on the field, young man in life. So it's like, well,
Luca is making all this money, but what's he going
to do after that? Well, he doesn't have his eyes
set on playing forever like Lebron did.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, thing Rich I was just going to say.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
In the article, he says that he looks up to
Lebron as a role model for building a successful business
portfolio and he wants to learn more about that from Lebron.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh good for him, man, but this disappointing for us,
right because you want to see the journey as a fan.
But you also talk about you and Danny g both
watch at Shack documentary on Netflix where Shack is involved
in a million businesses. Now Pooka Let's book Let's Shift
to Pooka La Rams. Pooka Toakua said he wants to
retire from the NFL around thirty years old, similar to

(10:22):
Aaron Donald Nakua who is twenty three at the time.
And he said this, said he wants to have a
big family, and we talked about this with Pooka at
the Super Bowl on Radio Row saying how long term
effects of football injuries, wanting to have a big family,
wanting to venture into other things play a factor.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
And to go back to that, you know what plays
the biggest factor? You said, Shaq.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Shaq played a long career, long enough that he played
for every color of the rainbow.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
He did.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's the funny meme, right, he played for every color
of the rainbow. He played a long time, so he retired.
Then he got into all the business stuff and the
Papa John's and the insurance and the Icy Hot and
rebock and everything else such a fat Burger or whatever.
He owns. He owns everything. What this is is when
you overpay athletes, they don't need to play anymore. And

(11:09):
you can say that's good or bad, depending on how
you look at it. I think we as fans get
chipped and that's just selfish on our part. Good for
them on wanting to make moves, but you're cutting their
career short, their priorities, not you know, creating that legacy,
breaking records. It's like getting out because they don't need
to play. They've already got their bang. Generationally, there's two
layers here. Let me break it down. Generationally, you talked

(11:32):
about our grandparents, the World War Two, the greatest generation,
then our parents boomers, then here we are, and then
you know your kids are living a way different life.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Generationally, your grandfather may have worked at the same company
for fifty plus years, retired, like he said, got a watch,
and he's like, I worked for the electric company and
he died five years old. They die five years later
because he had no purpose. Younger people now are like,
I want to live, man, I want to swim in
a sinote and tulu and they're traveling. I'm backpacking through
Europe and I and they'll have like six hundred dollars

(12:04):
to their name. You know what, let me make this
clearage because I don't want to talk out them all
shied through my mouth. I think they got it right,
you gotta you know. I had a friend with tell me,
don't love your job, job, You're love about it job,
your love work life balance is great. I'm saying selfishly
as a fan, I don't like it. I think there's
a balance that I'm good for them on realizing like, yeah, man,

(12:27):
I don't need to put my health in jeopardy. I
don't care about the records or playing twenty years I got.
I got hundreds of millions of dollars. You need one
big contract and then call it a day and invest
in something and that's it.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Cove think about the.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Younger person mentality and our grandparents' mentality. Much like so
many things, I feel like our generation perfectly sits in
the middle where it's like we have the work ethic,
but we still appreciate and understand the importance of living
life and leisure and all that. I think a twenty
year old may have it wrong where they're like, who
cares about work? I just want to like see the
pyramids and swim a I guess that snote in Mexico.

(13:02):
Yet our grandparents won a backpack in Europe. I feel
like my grandparents went on one vacation to like the
Poconos for two days. My parents my grandparents went the
Hawaii one time, and that was like the thrill of
their own and by the way, that is and I
was like for an anniversary that their kids.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Sent them on.

Speaker 7 (13:16):
My grandparents drove to Canada one time and they thought
they were world travelers.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, so our grandparents got it wrong, but I think
the younger kids now may have it wrong as well.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
The middle ground seems about right.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
But based on what you guys were all saying, if
a guy like pukin the Kua could sign one big contract, right,
a guy like Luca who you know how much money
he's making, but a wide receiver in the NFL. If
you're elite, you see guys the jamar Chases and Justin
Jefferson's of the world, they're making like forty something million
dollars a year. You signed one big contract, that is

(13:47):
the equivalent of winning the power Ball, That is the
equivalent of winning the Mega millions? Why play another side
ten years? If you could just like sit back and
let your money invest in something and then watch your
money grow you are a workhorse or a fanatic, or
like a sports junkie, like a Bradi or Lebron. That's
like out to proof to the world there you know

(14:08):
something special and generational.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I think a guy like Pooka and the Kua is saying, yo,
within the next ten years, I have hundreds of millions
of dollars.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
I guess, well, here's the problem I could get If
I could get out of this game before I have
made your leg or back or head injuries. God, dude,
got stitches on the field. What was that two weeks ago. Yeah,
it's not an easy lifestyle. You're putting your body through
a lot of trauma, a lot of wear and tear. Yeah,
so I understand selfishly as a fan, I don't like it.
The problem lies with not everybody of that generation is

(14:39):
Puka or Luca and a lot of these young people
have that same mentality without the fundage behind them, without
a nest deck to sit back on, or with data.
What would your dad say, pot the busy right, so's
the problem. It's a different mindset. It works for them
because they make lots of money.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
You question their passion. I mean, I'm I'm I'm not.

Speaker 8 (15:02):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't want to put you on the spot.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
But when you hear a guy say, yeah, I want
to retire when I'm thirty, I.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Do because we grew up.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
But here's.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Anything.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Here's the guy getting on the field, dude, here's talking
about it yesterday for the love of the game. What
happened to that? You don't have that same love and
desire when you're getting paid millions and millions of dollars.
You're not playing to when you're you're sort of just
sitting back. You don't have that same fight and that
same hunger. Unfortunately, ask yourself this baseball, football, basketball, You
could you pick your sport hot dog eating.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
When do you remember.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
At first players being looked at as investments, Danny g
Is there a guy that stands out like a quarterback,
a point guard, a baseball pitcher where it's like, remember
the narrative started like, well, we don't you know, he's
an investment? When When when did we start looking at
athletes as investments? Because that's a turning point, it really is,
because before that, you'd sign a guy he made millions,

(16:00):
but a couple of million dollars. Back then, when you
were kids in the eighties, it was a big deal
in like a Nolan Ryan or Dave Winfield or Mike Schmidt,
someone made like a million dollars. Now your middle reliever
makes like eight million dollars. Your star player makes twenty
five thirty forty million dollars.

Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yeah, I can't think of the Dodger pitcher. It was
nineties and he got his own plane, private plane in
the contract.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Do you remember that an.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
Investment, and I remember the LA sports scene was saying, well,
this is an investment for the Dodgers because his contract
was so lucrative and it had so many perks involved
in it.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I mean, I know, no, no, I I'll look it
up right, And I know it was before this, but
Mirfield was one of the first to sign a million
dollar deal though, so that's a good one. But as
a Mets fan, I remember specifically this is like ten
years ago, and I know it was way before then,
but I remember, like a Matt Harvey guys like that,
They're like, oh, he is an investment.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
It was Kevin Brown. I remember that huge contract he
was given in nineteen.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yep, what's up, Dan Bayer guy, Guys, it was Kevin Brown.
Kevin Brown, Kevin Brown.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Just heads up.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
He was Kevin Brown who had the Jet.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Kank you buddy, So what are your thoughts Fox Sports
Radio Nation. Of course, we're torn because selfishly, as fans,
we want to see these guys go for the records
and play out their career. But a younger generation's mindset
is no, I want to live my life, and now
we're seeing that infiltrate into the sports world where they

(17:35):
do have the luxury of being able to say, nah,
I got plenty of money. I'm going to retire probably
a good five to seven years earlier than they would
have if they were still just playing for the paycheck
or for the love of the game. They're taking the
blueprint of I don't want to say Lebron, but maybe
of a businessman put it that way, and using their

(17:56):
money to invest in something. The money's just substantial. I
think that's what it is. It's almost too substantial. If
in twenty twenty five, which is where we're living, if
athletes made two, three four million dollars a year, and
after agent fees and taxes, they only played four or

(18:18):
five years in a league, then they're going to try
to play as long as they possibly can, because after
that life could get scary. But when you're making, like
I said, mega million powerball money a year, you only
need one big contract. Like we're saying it's a couple
million dollars a year, I'm certainly not saying that's chump change.

Speaker 7 (18:38):
I still remember my grandmother reacting to the news on
TV that Dave Winfield signed that one million dollar contract
and her saying to play a kid's game, and then
as I look up Kevin Brown, he was the first
one hundred million dollar man in baseball.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, well, and that seems like a small contract. Now
when you think about they've got it, they've got it right.
But the bottom line is they got it right. You know,
just it hurts as fans to see because you want
to see them play. You know how they have every
right to want to start a family and keep their
health in check. Calv You know how when we see
those memes and they're real, they're not just like the

(19:15):
memes on social media. How salaries versus the price of housing,
how it's substantially percentage wise has gone up. Like your
dad may have made, you know, forty thousand dollars or
thirty thousand dollars and your parents bought a house for
eighty thousand dollars. Now you can make six figures and
houses are millions of dollars. Like it's it, don't math.

(19:38):
I think when we were younger, an athlete may have
made ten times more a successful person. Right, Let's say
in the eighties, a six figure job. In the eighties
you were balling, So imagine a six figure salary in
the eighties It's like Dave Winfield makes a million, that's
ten times when guys in the NBA are making sixty

(19:58):
million dollars a year. Again, it's with endorsements and everything. Endorsement,
it's the incentive to continue playing.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
They play five years and be like yo, peace out, suckers. Yeah,
so I get it.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
This is the downside of spoiling these athletes. But again,
in the same breath, good for them, Good for them,
you would probably do the same. It's a great conversation.
Would you want to play till you're forty something or
if you're Puka? I love his answer. He wants to
be able to walk and raise a family if you
value family. But guess what, you could also start a family.

(20:32):
He's still very young.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Guy.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Derek Jeter started a family after his playing days. He
played for twenty Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
But if Pukinakua wants to start a family young, not
in his forties, he's you know, if he says he
wants a big family and wants to be around. If
he's saying yo, like thirty, I could check out and
be even a lot of tread on the tires. He's
still got a lot of gas in the tank and
the other analogy I want to throw in there. You know,
there's still a lot of playing left in your in
your in your legs, in your heart. That also it's

(21:00):
like you think Canelo needs to fight, no, but he's
still he still has more fights on his contract. I
think people that get to that level for the really
love it. I also think it's unique. Could we know
that there are people that think that way, meaning like
they prioritize other things because I think to get to
that level, you almost need to be obsessed with tombra,
so obsessed because like I think about some of the greats,

(21:22):
like the Dan Patrick's to Howard Stern's, the you know,
like even like Rogan, who's a young guy. Seacrest has
like all these jobs. They don't need to do all
that those people all have. Like Howard Stern's about to
figure out this new deal with serious ex am. We've
all seen the headlines.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Is he even?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Is he coming? Howard Stern has made hundreds and hundreds
of millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Five hundred million in his last contract. He's seven, is
getting like almost one hundred million dollars bonus is a year.
He's his kids are grown, he has mansions, hundreds of
millions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
He doesn't need to do it. So it's almost like
Tom bradyus, like you're obsessed with it.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, you gotta stay hungry, like d Snyder said, like
Sebastian Maniscalco said, stay hungry. But it's hard to stay
hungry when they're feeding you so much money. And that's
really what it comes down to. It really isn't good
for them. I want to give you two of my
observations if you don't mind. As far as Luca and

(22:16):
Puka go, they're saying they plan on retiring early. They
don't want a long ass career. They don't care about
breaking records. They made their money and they want to
be businessmen and raise their families.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
And that's great. That is great.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
As fans, I think we're a little like ah no,
because our work ethic might be a little different. The
first time, I want to say, the first time I experienced, like, hey,
my work ethics different than a younger generations is when
like five o'clock hit and you had in your brain like,
I guess I stay until they tell me to leave.
Oh yes, But the other the generation was like five o'clock,

(22:48):
I got my backpack on, I'm ready to go. We
had an intern and we're still friends with the guy
till this day. I kuld Mike and I remember he
was editing all the stuff for Spot and our show
could be known Rich.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
He's in the middle of.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Editing five o'clock, hits kid his backpack and he's like,
all right, see you guys were like, are you in
the middle of like editing the clips for us?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
And he's like yeah, but it's five o'clock.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Wow, And he's like, yeah, my hours, my internship hours
are done. And I go, oh, yeah, I guess that's
that's how some look at it.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
And I had.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Another, you know, example, but it slipped my mind. But
another thing that does come to mind is a younger
person has this mentality of yeah, I'll work extra are
you paying me? Where we just so willingly did over
time or worked that extra day and didn't ask questions.
But did that make us dumb? It kind of yeah

(23:41):
in a way, But it does show you the difference
in work ethic that we grew up with versus a
younger generation. Now we're starting to see that spill into sports,
where it's like it's more about life less about the job.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
Yeah, and I wouldn't say dumb rich because it also
gave us job security.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
You it was like a.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
We had this belief that it would pay off, and
for some people it did.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I think it paid off in the sense of.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
You overall would be better at your job and you
got better by working hard. But there were times early
on in my career where I remember being like, oh,
work on the holiday, and I'd be like, yeah, the
boss is really going to be impressed, and I'm like,
then I realized later in life, like the boss is
sitting in his Hampton's house and does give a crap
that I'm the one working right now. He's not listening,
he doesn't care. And then you realize, ah, I'm a fool.

(24:33):
So different work ethics. Pooka and Luca both saying yeah,
as soon as they can get out, they're out of
the lead.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
But I don't question their current work ethic. I just
I look at it and then saying like, as from
a business perspective, sign a big contract, make all that money,
and then get out healthy, and they're not wrong. It's
just different, you know. Be a dad, be a husband,
be a businessman. Why would you not want to do that?
If you've made hundreds of millions of dollars, why keep
going out there and getting banged up? It's like you

(25:02):
and I were talking about Terrence Budd Crawford. There's an
instinct right now to be like, all right, undefeated, he
beat Canelo.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Walk away?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Or is it tough to walk away when you know
that the next time you fight there's tens of millions
of dollars waiting for you.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
How do you say no to that? You can't? Let's
say how to Matt and Sency. Then we'll go to
dB for an update. What's up? Matt?

Speaker 8 (25:24):
What's not? CNR? You guys are great?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Thanks man, you.

Speaker 8 (25:26):
Got a question? So what Phuka coming out and saying that,
what why would the Rams want to sign him to
that long term deal? If you know, say they guaranteed
him all this money and then all of a sudden
they go six and ten or five and eleven, and
then he's promised all that guaranty money and then he
just wants to say he and cleans up and be done.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
No, I think you're not getting those long, long MLB
type of contracts in football anyway, right for a wide receiver.
So I think if he says thirty ish, if he's
still in his twenties, I think I think it does
take the fight away, though, when you over pay athletes,
and good for them, like I said, it's they earned it.
I'm the NFL makes billions. Who's gonna get the money,

(26:06):
Cherry Jones. I'm not saying they're not deserving, That's not
my point. But how do you have that same fight,
hunger and desire to fight for your job, to keep
your job, to break those records when you're like think
from a boxer's perspective, like you said, the ones that
really take it to crazy levels, of the ones that
are fighting, fighting for their life, you know, not the
ones that are sitting pretty like. It just doesn't work

(26:29):
that way.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Your boy Puka signed a four year deal.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
And good for them.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
By the way, I wonder if this would change if
they were making w NBA money, you'd see a lot
more fight.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I bet you see you see something different. It's different,
all right.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Well, with that said, let's go to our buddy in yours,
Dan Bayo. Let's get update what's going on with friends?

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Four four hits combined between the Giants and Diamondbacks and
their scoreless affair. That's in the ninth inning right now
in Arizona. Bottom of the ninth inning, Khalil Max headed
the i R for the Chargers. But the line, we're
not going to miss the season. So for that elbow
injury Monday night and the win against the Raiders not
believed to be a season ending injury. It was announced
today that Patriots wide receivers Stefan Diggs and girlfriend Cardi

(27:10):
B are expecting their first child together. And guys, who
was Kevin Brown? Was Kevin Brown's yea thank you?

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
By the way, move on tempered Kevin Brown, Move over
Taylor and Travis because you got you know, Cardi B
and Stefan Diggs. You got Madison Beer and Justin Herbert.
You got Josh Allen and Haley Steinfeld. I think the
athlete celebrity combo is stronger than ever in the NFL.
The pizza favored combo is still the best, still best,
Come on TV.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Won one piece of insight.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
If you are the forty nine ers and you're the
front office, it's a division matchup against the Cardinals, do
you try to push along Purty or based on how
mac Jones played pretty solid. Do you just play play
it safe and go with mac Jones. If you're a GM,
I would play Purdy.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
And the only reason being is this finish line with
Kittle was after week five, so because of the short
week that they're gonna have with the Rams that week,
that was kind of the goal. Like Kittle wouldn't play
in week five, they probably wouldn't play in week four.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
That was the reason.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
But if Purdy is well enough, Division Game Cardinals two
and zero right now.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
You could jump out to three and oh and your
team's not one hundred percent, that's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
I think.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
I think our instincts say played safe long season. But
if he is, if he's ready to go and is
able to go, and you aren't risking further injury, then
I say play party.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Thank you Dan Buyer for a great update, and it's
time for our tire IRAQ play of the Day show,
Hey Otani Show, Hey O'tani was in the middle of
a no hitter until that Jabbroni Dave Roberts pulled him

(28:51):
for the Dodgers bullpen blue yet another lead. Otani created
a new fifty to fifty club, the.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
One old pitch.

Speaker 10 (28:58):
Otani blumpses in the air deep bright field Number fifty
emphatically leaves the yard on a night he started the
game and through five no hit innings, he then comes
up to the plate of the eighth and launches home
run number fifty on.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
The season, fifty home runs, fifty stolen bases, fifty strikeouts,
and as courtesy of AM five to seventy Dodgers Adio Network,
and that's our tire rackt play of the day. Well
not fifty stone bases this year. Well he's going for it, right,
it's a different fifty. It's not even like close, I know,
but he's fifty fifty two stole bases. But no at
different fifty fifty tirack dot com the way tire buying

(29:38):
should be. Danny, you hit usself last night. I was like,
Danny's one that wrote this JABBRONI. Dave Roberts isn't the
third time the Dodgers had a no hitter going and
Dave Roberts's, you know, making a move that ended up
not being the.

Speaker 7 (29:48):
Right in just a matter of a couple of weeks.
That is the third blown no hitter for the Dodgers
in the wild.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
That is wild and by the way, he speaking of baseball,
I've been keeping an eye like we all have on
that Diamondbacks Giants game because that has wild card Chase implications.
Dbacks at home had the bases loaded, one out, bottom
of the knife, zero zero strikeout and a dribbler back
to the pitcher. They're going to extras in Arizona, so

(30:16):
extra innings. Zero zero fought through eight innings, one head.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Is it really true? I thought it was more of
a little number. It was a little number to the picture.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, and number Verlander, who seemed to have found his
groove towards the second half of the year. He's three
and ten on the year, but he threw seven innings
of hitless baseball, of runless baseball. You give up a
couple hits, but Verlander showing up when they needed him nice,
which is pretty cool. Speaking of baseball, this is kind
of funny. It's funny to me. First of all, I

(30:46):
gotta say props to Michael Kay. I have been a
fan since he was the young guy in the broadcast booth.
My dad's a big fan.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
I told you.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
My dad listens to us and he somehow feels like
Michael Kay's his friend.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
He used to listen to Michael Kay on the radio
calling the game. Yeah, you know he still has his
own radio show, but calling the game. And then he
started Yes and center Stage and he was the voice
of the Yankees. He was that young dude. And now
you know, blink and he's been doing it for one
hundred and twenty years now. And I bring that up
because is this old guy energy or is he right

(31:18):
on here? Baseball? Everything we talk about it is a
kid's game.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Well, let's meal.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
I think you were throwing a little old guy energy
moments ago when you keep saying work ethic when it's
not work ethic, it's it's some of these young players
want to get out early when they're healthy, they've made
their money. I don't think you and I always argue off.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
He said, they're not wrong. I just don't. It's not
work ethic. It's it is. It's not you and I
are it is.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It is because I take things from a personal standpoint too.
You think the young people we work with in this
industry have the same work ethic as you.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
No, But I don't even treat the studio the same.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I think you and I argue a lot of times
about I'm a big work, smarter, not harder guy and
cutting corners and the results show, Oh you think they don't,
but they do.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
That's called it's called a cheap effort, and.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
It does shot the old buffoon that's like, I just
keep my money under the mattress, and I'm like, why
are you invested in something I don't trust the banks? Well,
guess what if I'm so wrong? You know, we're talking
about professional athletes here, but most young people don't have anything.
They don't have any money. But if anyone should be
working hard, it should be them. I would in question
pookin the coup is work ethic. I think he's smart.

(32:27):
So when you say, oh, they don't got the same
work ethic, the game doesn't seem to mean as much.
They want to live more and it's a kids game,
so she'd be having fun. But speaking of old guy energy,
I sort of do agree with Michael Kay here, and
this has to do with home run celebrations and the
props that they use, not bat flips, none of that,
none of the show. But the dug crops in the dugout?

(32:49):
Is it hokey or awesome? Take a listen to Michael Kay.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
I don't know why they don't do it, But let
me ask you a question.

Speaker 11 (32:55):
Don't you think that's hoky?

Speaker 12 (32:56):
Sure, well that's why I wonder why the Yankees don't
do it, because.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
I know why should they do something?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Hoky?

Speaker 11 (33:02):
I mean, you think the Mariners are going up, up
and down the dugout with that trident is cool? You
think the Red Sox putting on the Wally the green
monster hat or head that that's that's that's that's cool.
I don't think it's cool. The Yankees. They they all
jump up and down. The guy high fives everybody on
each side as he goes to the end of the dugout.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
That's their celebration.

Speaker 11 (33:24):
But the prop thing, Hey, maybe they end up doing
it one day, but I'm I'm looking at it going
I think that's weak.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
And I agree with him. Who is Michael Kay Wally
the green head Monster?

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Michael?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
What are we twelve years old? Michael Kay? Who?

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Again, I said, I'm a fan of what he does.
My dad likes him, which is proof. You know a
lot of times when some when someone here's a hot take.
I think Michael Kay is better than Gary Cohen just saying, oh,
you're the one guy in the industry.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
I'm the guy speaking truth. You're the one dentist that
doesn't recommend something.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm telling you the truth. That's my opinion.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I want a conversation for another day, because I think
everybody has a preference to their own broadcaster for their team.
Of course, nine out of ten dentists recommend Colgate. Cavino
is the one that doesn't. I recommend Michael Kay over
Gary Cohene. You're the one guy anyway, Long sturry short
is that Michael Kay is a sixty seventy year old man.
He's not the gauge of cool. So when he's like,

(34:21):
that's weak, that's not cool, I'm thinking, you're right. The
twenty five year old home run hitters in the Mariners
dugout yep. But putting on a goofy helmet or a
trident that's cool.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I think it is.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
I think it is very very cool.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
I think which we're always celebrating and doing a cool
dance and high five, and I think.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
It's the coolest in fact. So we're gonna argue about
this next.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Clearly, it's fun. It is not just I'm not the
fun police. We're talking about corny. No, Yes, who is cool?

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Orange?

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Cooler you are?

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Bryce Harper? Who's cooler you?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Or Francisco Lindor who's cooler Steve Cavino or Shoe a Otani.
You're not the freaking president of cool Pal. I probably
could tell you this. Those guys a hell of a
am I the president? I'm also a client.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Let me ask you.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I could tell you I grew up around a lot
of cool people.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Putting on a putting on a big goofy waally the
green monster hat after you just hit a four hundred
foot bomb like a g sort of waters down the
product in my opinion, Yeah, you did something. You just
did something so cool, and you did a really cool
backflip and you really owned it and did a sweet trot.
And then you go and do some goofy thing like

(35:31):
that and you put on a stupid helmet, and I
tried it. I do think it ruins it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
It's corny. It's corny.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Does it also bother you?

Speaker 12 (35:38):
Then?

Speaker 7 (35:38):
When a college football team, because several do this where
if a defender on their team gets a turnover, they
run to the sideline and they pronounced them the king,
and they put the chain on them and sit them
on the throne.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's cool as hell. Cavino would be like, bro, No, look,
look am I mad about it?

Speaker 7 (35:54):
No?

Speaker 1 (35:54):
But do I agree with what Michael Kay said about it? Yes,
all the slame stuff comes out, and say yes, pun
and headed. Next year he'll come around to it, just
like the Yankees with the facial hair and everything. It's
it's it just takes guys like Camino extra minute to
realize how lame they are.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I mean, are we grown men or are we little boys?
I could see a little league team doing it, and
I understand this game we do my son's fall ball team. Yeah,
and your son's five. These guys are grown men. We're
on the Mudcats.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
They're young men.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Our team is the Mudcats. So you want to compare
Bryce Harper to your five year old son? And okay,
that's what I did. Was on Amazon. I ordered a
huge stuffed animal catfish, the Mudcat. And when the kids
get a big hit or do something cool, I go, yo,
go hit the mud Cat, and they and the kid
that has the best game, I go. Coach Rich says,
you could take home the mudcat until the next practice.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Kids have fun.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
It's a kid's game. They're adults. They're there, they're barely
is something years old?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Is it corny?

Speaker 5 (36:48):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Both could be true. It is corny, dudes. I'm sorry
to break the news to you if your team does it.
So you think last year when the Mets were holding
the OMG sign, that was corny. Yes, grimace all the
gimmicky stuff. Yeah, celebrating, no home, no saying. You can't
celebrate when these dudes are trotting around and pointing and pitflexing,
that's all fun. You got to bring probably you, Carrot Top,

(37:10):
you got to bring props into the act. Now, Oh
you know, now you're too cool for carat Top. He
does his own thing.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I like Carrot Top. Are they doing comedy?

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Hey, Danny G play the clip, Big Sexy Ryan, play
the clip one more time in case people just joined us.
Michael Kay going on a rant again. Do I take
pride and sounding like the old guy?

Speaker 8 (37:29):
No?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
But I do agree.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Before he played, I will say I'm a firm believer
in when when there are people, when we have conversations,
I'll see feedback. And there are times where I'm like
I'm glad that person disagrees with me, because if they did,
I would feel like I'm wrong. Michael Kay is a
legend in his world, but if I agreed with Michael
Kay on what's cool, I would feel like I was wrong.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
I don't know why they don't do it, but let
me ask you a question.

Speaker 11 (37:57):
Don't you think that's hoky?

Speaker 9 (37:58):
Sure?

Speaker 12 (37:59):
Well, that's why I wonder why the Yankees don't do it,
because I know why should they do something.

Speaker 11 (38:04):
I mean, you think the Mariners are coming up up
and down the dugout with that trident is cool. You
think the Red Sox putting on the wally the green
monster hat or head that that's that's that's that's cool.
I don't think it's cool. The Yankees, they they all
jump up and down. The guy high fives everybody on
each side as he goes to the end of the dugout.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
That's their celebration.

Speaker 11 (38:26):
But the prop thing, Hey, maybe they end up doing
it one day, but I'm I'm looking at it going
I think that's weak.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
I don't think it's necessary.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
You think the samurai helmet from the Angels when they
would do that better, Isn't that cultural appropriation.

Speaker 6 (38:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
I wouldn't take that chance nowadays.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
And by the way, he goes on to say, what's
wrong with I don't know the actual art of celebrating
watching people cheer in their moment and showing pure natural excitement.
And by the way, the giants, uh, look like they're
took the lead making some moves here one nothing and
they got first and second, nobody out in the top

(39:02):
of the eleventh. All right, now, I do want to
get feedback from the Fox Sports Radio nation. Is it
cool or hoky? Can I give you a couple examples
of what teams have done in the last couple of years. Yeah,
But then I want to get into Mike's Wednesday Words
of Wisdom. Ah, you know what, Let's hit us up
with Mike's words wisdom and that went phone call. Well,
we'll try to get a winner going, and then I

(39:23):
will go over some of the dugout celebrations around the MLB,
and you tell me if you think they're hokey or cool.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
Deal.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Deal, all right, let's do this every week. Mike, who
runs his place, gives us his words the wisdom. All
you got to do repeat them verbatim and win a prize. Mike,
who runs his place, Let's do it. Mike's words of wisdom.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
He is not in charge of everything.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
He has no power over really anybody here.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
He does not run this place.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom, Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
No matter what you're feeling, never used the bathroom in
a dream. It's a setup.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
That A mean.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
I'm still absorbing that one. I'm still processing. Do you
want to play one more time Danny here?

Speaker 4 (40:28):
I think that is easy.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, you just have to repeat it verbatim for a
CNR bribery ball. That's our nerve football, and you get
to take one home before the holiday season. So call
now if you could repeat it verbatim eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox, or if you want to chime
in about these home run celebrations again eight seven seven

(40:51):
nine to nine on Fox. By the way, no one's
saying you can't celebrate. Oh yeah, celebrate your heart out.
I think that's great, but I think it gets a
little corny when you're when you do an these childish stinks.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
I do.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Let me give you a couple around the league. The
Mets this year have held up a humongous flip flop corny, hokey,
as Michael said, and then they post for like h
then they pose for a group photo.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
That's the deal.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Like Soto and Lindor, they all like they do like
a post or with the flip flop. Yeah, sometimes with
the I don't reference. I don't know how can I
say that's cool? It sounds sounds so lame. Cincinnati Reds
they got the Viking players wear a Viking hat and
a cape. The Detroit Tigers the pizza party inspired players

(41:37):
receive pizza on a stick that's been something. The cheesehead
for the Brewers, the Golden trid ends for the Mariners,
as you know. The Angels since the O Tiny days
have done the samurai helmet. The Orioles do the hydration
station where they do like a water beer bong. See you,
none of this is fun to you. You're not a
clubhouse guy. Huh, you don't bring the fun. It seems

(42:00):
your own business.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
That's not true at all. You don't like the padres.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Who is it?

Speaker 2 (42:06):
He's a polaroid camera to take a picture of the
guy that hit a home run.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
I mean he could do all this stuff without props.
That's really the point here. So what are your thoughts
on it? Eight seven seven ninety nine on box. You know,
I'm not trying to be like the no fun guy.
That's not it at all. I think you could celebrate,
do the moon walk through the worm in the dugout.
I don't care. Do the robot have fun? But when
you do all this stuff, I think it's coin it does.

(42:31):
I think it takes away from the really cool moment.
Let's say something corny. Let's say Aaron Judge because he's
doing his little gretty thing the dugout. I agree, it's corny,
but corny doesn't need to be bad. Corny sometimes is fun, right.
It's like people do the cupid shuffle at a wedding.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah, I call it the stupid scheffle. I hide when
that happens. Well, most people enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
In fact, I would say nine out of ten people
enjoy these moments or else they want to be moments.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Right, you're also the number one.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Buster point dexter fan because you're feeling hot, hot, hot
on the congo line, I'd rather go to the bathroom
than join that party, you know.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
So let's say Aaron Judge, different strokes for different folks.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Let's say Aaron Judge every time he hit a home
run he had a prop in the dug at like
a gavel, and he hit it like a judge, and
everyone pointed at him. You would be like, lame. You'd
probably be coming in here being like, you know, the gavel, bro.
You think, if you are going to like everything your
team does, that doesn't mean it's inaccurate assessment. If he
put on like a stature of liberty hat and had

(43:27):
like a gavel and he's like the judge says he
wear the white wig, yes, sad, he would think that's
cool as hell. All right, your phone calls will pick
a winner, and your thoughts on this. I actually agree
with Michael okay, I really do well.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
By the way that.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Game that we've been keeping track of Diamondbacks, it could
be all over. They still get their bottom of the
inning their home team. But the Giants, I believe three
nothing now still know outs a couple of runners on base,
so that the Giants have unloaded in the top of
the eleventh and let's be honest, the battle to see
who could possibly catch my.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
New York Mets.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Neither do but a big game in the desert some
worth jevor fear the Mets have that flip flop? Yeah,
how do you beat a team with a flip flop?
All right, let's say hi to Mike in Tulsa. Who's
going to give it a shot at Mike's words of wisdom?
What's up Tulsa?

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Hey, Hi guys, No, thank you Mike.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah you called us, Thank you, buddy, Mikey you ready

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Yeah, congratulation, congrats man, you just want to you're the man.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Never use a never used the bathroom in your dream.
It's to set up, get it, you're the bed. Oh
I didn't get it? How do you not get that?

Speaker 1 (45:31):
You don't get anything? Because you know what I was thinking.
I was like, you know what I was thinking about
my dreams. I was taking it more literal. You ever
use your phone in your dream? They say, you don't, right,
It's like one of those I've never ever I've always
been in the moment in my dream. I've never like
looked at my phone like I do in real life
in a dream.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
You ever think about it? You even have it?

Speaker 1 (45:48):
A really you ever happened to be having a really
like kinky wild moment in a dream and then someone
wakes you up and you're really mad they woke you up,
And then you try to go back to sleep to
get back to anywhere, and it's your dog licking your
foot step.

Speaker 13 (46:00):
You say you once had a dream where you ate
a giant marshmallow and you walk up and your pillow
was gone.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
You went there, You went there with the mom joke.
That's not even a dad joke. So yeah, that's a
good one.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Congrats man, congrats and thanks for playing Mike's Wednesday words
of wisdom. We still got midweek major Spottleby tell jokes
and me, whoa you.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
Ever went coming up? You ever went back to high
school in a dream?

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
For some reason, I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
We all have the same few dreams, like going back
to high school or college where it's like the end
of the semester and you're like I haven't gone to
one class and you have that panicky school you have
enough credit dream all the time. Still that's something to
do with a wiggle but missing like a loose teeth.
Well that's bad. That's like money or something falling, falling,
but the whole like you know, I graduate pants, that's

(46:54):
a that's a big one. Man, enough pants now, Like
I still I still have dreams that I have stuff
in my room and I got to get it out.
You're U stuff it in dorm room like in my
dreams like I'm not done with school yet, like I
don't have enough credits and my stuff is still there.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
And then and then in broadcasting, some of us have
nightmares about dead air or equipment not working.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
Is I'm like, wake up, wake up, It's got to
be a dream.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Running down the hall to stop the dead air. You
can never make it. Has anyone else ever had this dream?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Because I know tug about dreams is the lowest form
of conversation, but we are Fox Sports Radio. Has anyone
ever had a dream that they were playing high school
or college sports again but they can't find their equipment?

Speaker 8 (47:32):
No?

Speaker 1 (47:33):
But have you know what I've had where I've had
this dream where I was back in high school? They like, oh,
you know what, the game starts one where I couldn't
find my tuba. Really, oh I looked that up too.
Both of them, not prepared for sports, can't find tube.
Oh it means you're both lame. Actually says here, says
here in my dream book. But I have had to
tie it back to sports because it is Fox Sports Radio.

(47:54):
Have you ever had that super sweet dream? Is only
second to that really hot sexy dream where you're actually
we're playing professional sports and then you wake up and
you're like, I'm not and it feels so real, like,
oh man, I did make the big leagues. That's roight,
I forgot And you're replaying that moment you're like in
the outfield or something. I've had that dream a few times, dude,

(48:15):
for real, it's the coolest feeling.

Speaker 9 (48:16):
Man.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
That's not Cavino, that's l Tuve. Hey, it's not Rich
as Eli Manning. What's up Dan Byer?

Speaker 3 (48:23):
You guys ever had a dream where you're thirsty?

Speaker 6 (48:27):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Those are the worst.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
Like you're in your dream you're jugging like a two
liter of water and then you're just thirsty as heck.
So I keep water by the side of the bed.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Oh yeah, Dan wakes up like he's in the like
Chevy chasing vacation. But the way, it's Kevin. Guys, it's
Kevin Brown. Let's hand it over to our video guy,
our pal with Midweek Major Spotty.

Speaker 12 (48:55):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
week when mid Major, Oh, I love that. We throw
sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas,
and it's like the kids.

Speaker 8 (49:08):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 5 (49:09):
We definitely see it our scoring Midweek Major.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
Ah yeah, guys, ready, it's Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (49:19):
When I say cove you say ven o cove Vena, Yeah,
not venoe fine wine.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Can I just have more time?

Speaker 6 (49:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (49:31):
You get ten ten minutes is almost too much for
Spotty Boy. We're gonna roll the two big Red Love
Dice in the main studio.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
I just hold a six, all right. That means Cove
gets first take.

Speaker 7 (49:42):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey, Spotty Boy.

Speaker 13 (49:50):
Hi, guys, sit down, Hi spot step up, take a seat.
How are you you ready?

Speaker 9 (49:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Ready?

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Receive?

Speaker 6 (49:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
You don't see that interesting? Are you gonna bring the
boom like my?

Speaker 6 (50:00):
I definitely am all right?

Speaker 13 (50:02):
Starting off with Patrick Mahomes officially over the sports hill
today as he turns the Big three to zero.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
I saw that.

Speaker 13 (50:08):
And to celebrate, a star studded collection of a list
athletes and celebrities recorded messages for the Chiefs QB. Some
of those big names include David Beckham, Kane Brown, Bobby Wit, Junior,
Peyton Manning, Pat McAfee, Rob Riggles, Big Chiefs fan, Kevin Richardson,
Eric stone Street, all Big Chiefs fans. Even coach Andy

(50:30):
Reid got in on the fun with some former players
as well, Chad Hanny, Alex Smith, Mitchell Schwartzeer, give me
the whole list. But his wife Brittany jumped in with
their kids as well. But of course, notably missing, and
people pointed this out, is Bud Travis Kelcey and Boo
Taylor Swift didn't record a message for him. Of course,
they were seen out over the weekend at their new
steakhouse fifteen eighty seven Prime, where Kelsey looked like he

(50:53):
was a member of ACDC. Remember that, Yes, yeah, so
But anyway, Happy birthday, Patrick mahomes Midweker.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Major min Although I get it right, it's very noticeable
by the way. It was like a montage of birthday wishes.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Are you jealous?

Speaker 1 (51:07):
I am a little jealous. I've never even gotten a
cameo from anybody. I'm gonna get you a cameo from
cameo sword up. I just think people really need to.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Get a life. I'm serious about that. What does that mean?
That speculate like, where's Trevison Taylor?

Speaker 4 (51:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Don't they have a steakhouse in partnership together? Aren't they
business partners? And you think there's trouble in Paradise because
they didn't leave a stupid birthday message. If I didn't
give a video birthday message to Rich doesn't mean I
don't like them anymore.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
So corny people just love.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Drama and controversy. I don't think there's any drama or controversy.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
That's what I mean. People are looking for it. However,
while there is no drama or.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Controversy, I think it's major in that this guy doesn't
have time to do a twenty second happy birthday message.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
I know this to be fact because when my wife
turned forty, it's major that they didn't leave a video message.
That's major. You had your chance, clown, But I'm asking
you you believe what you're saying. I do it away
because when my wife turned for forty last year, I
had her friends and family leave little messages. I put

(52:19):
together a little similar video montage, and you, I am,
have you ever done anything consider it for someone else? No,
So maybe you don't understand. I left a message for
mahomes and they didn't use my montage, Like, hey man,
I just want to say happy birthday to you, bro
your mind inspiration, Happy thirtieth. My reasoning is that it's
amazing how close family friends and family members like. There's

(52:42):
such a pain the ass to just do a ten
second message. I remember hitting up like my wife's one
of her best friends, like, yeah, can you just grab
your phone now and do it? Hey, happy birthday Sarah
the Big four. Oh I love you Like some people
can't do the simplest thing. It's wild to me.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
I know it's not major.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
They're best friends, they've won three bowls together, they have
a steakhouse, but.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Is that any indication of their relationship. That's point.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
I mean people over speculating because they have no lives.
Mid You know how it's kind of weak and how
easy it is. If I said, Danny J.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
By the way, I hate it. There's so much pressure
to it, Like there's something I have stage fright with you.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
If you were to tell me to record a message,
you tell me if Danny G's wife said, Hey, it's Brenda,
it's Danny GE's birthday coming up. We're doing a montage.
You want to just grab your fun and be like, Yo,
Danny G. My god you happy birthday, love you man
the end send How is that so hard? Travis is
lazy as hell. Next fright frightens me, so you know,
I'll take a pause on the more. Travis and Taylor News. Okay, please,
I'll go to another story. Who's going first?

Speaker 12 (53:40):
Me?

Speaker 4 (53:41):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (53:41):
So this one you'll love this one.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Comino.

Speaker 13 (53:43):
So, there was speculation that the November fourteenth fight between
Jake Paul.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
And Tank Davis may not be going down.

Speaker 13 (53:49):
Well, it turns out speculation was due to a location change,
so Paul's promotion company MVP pulled its request to host
the bout in Georgia, withdrawing submissions and permits and rules
for and rule waivers. It seems the bout is officially
being official. It's been a confirm relocated to Miami at
the Cassea Center, the home of the Miami Heat. Paul

(54:11):
addressed to change on social media, saying, new city say mission,
seek and destroy the Tank. I'm bringing the Heat and
Miami will see me take down this angry elf. While
the while the world watches live on netflixs midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
It's major.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
I personally feel it's mid because I'm a real boxing fan,
but it's major because the numbers don't lie. Shakira's hips
and the numbers don't lie. One hundred and twenty five
million people tuned in to watch Paul versus Tyson compared
to the forty one million that watched Canelo Crawford, and
by the way, forty one million still really really successful.
That's a lot of numbers, a lot of people, but

(54:47):
when you compare it to the mamythity and magnitude of
Paul Tyson. So there's gonna be a lot of people
amped up and ready for this fight. But the story
was USA Today. It wasn't like a rumor USA Today
and other news sources in U it was off because
it'll weight discrepancy.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
So the fact that it's back on and now in Miami,
that's cool.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Rich and I are actually going to be away that weekend,
so it gives people something to do and something to watch.
It's entertaining and I think it does bring a lot
of eyes to boxing. I think it's it's a win.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Bro party in the stage where the heat is on Miami.
I think it's great.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
I'm glad the fight is on because, like you said,
this is a weekend. Selfishly, we're gonna have like a
guy's weekend and that Friday night now the something to
watch before you go out or.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
After a nice dinner. So Jake Paul, whether you love.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Him or not, three times as many viewers when he
fought Tyson is the biggest fight of the century. According
to Kavino, those things, those things bring people together, That's
really it. Yeah, so I think it brings people together.
I think it's I think it's major because, like again,
Jake Paul Tank Davis will have bigger numbers than Canelo
Crawford and I don't think it should, but it will.

(55:54):
So hey, something to watch November thirteenth, enjoy, all right,
and I believe that's a Friday the thirteenth, right, fourteenth?

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Oh, sorry, fourteenth fourteenth?

Speaker 6 (56:05):
Alright?

Speaker 13 (56:06):
A new Sea rich Her careers up. A new season
of Dancing with the Stars just kicked off. Few notable stars,
of course, I'm ready for Topega, Topega, Robert Irwin, Daniel Fisher.
You mentioned Eddie Richter, Alex Earle, Hilaria Baldwin, Corey if
Alex is like the hot influence of course yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (56:25):
But noticeably missing and that would be Bill Belichick's twenty
four year old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. So apparently Hudson was
supposed to be featured this season, but two days before
the cast was announced, the deal was called off. So
get this, apparently, and the tracks Apparently, Hudson wanted way
too much creative control over her appearance. She refused to

(56:45):
do certain interviews. She wanted to choose her partner. She
wanted to choose when she would rehearse so she could
attend Belichick's games. She also didn't like how Dancing with
the Stars was pushing her relationship narrative between.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Her and Bill.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
So yes, the You'll fizzled out.

Speaker 13 (57:00):
I guess we all avoided some unnecessary drama midweek or major.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
It's it's mid, Okay, it's mid. First of all, its
mid because I don't care about Corey Feldman doing the
chat chat. That's number one. I don't speak for yourself.
But it also shows you that she doesn't need that money.
She's got Belichick money, she's got a lot of his
investment properties. She doesn't care. So hey, if you want
her on the show, you gotta play by my rules

(57:25):
a little bit. She doesn't need it. I think that's
what it says.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
I don't really care.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
At least Corey Feldman was a child star Topanga Daniel
Fischel doing the passa dobla.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
Hey, it'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
I think it's I think this is major because the
fact that ABC.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Was going to put Jordan Hudson on a primetime show
about dancing with stars.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
What's star?

Speaker 3 (57:51):
She's sleeping with it all?

Speaker 9 (57:53):
Guy?

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Yeah, but she's a big name, but a star stars stars,
wouldn't she accomplish.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
She's got bill. Yeah, that's a pretty big accomplishment, more
than you've ever done.

Speaker 6 (58:07):
Good Night, everybody. I'll uh, you know what, I'll wrap
it up with.

Speaker 13 (58:24):
Let's see Kaitlyn Clark fans, Kaitlyn Claire fans are grumpy
over the treatment that her Rookie of the Year predecessor
Page posts. Yeah, follow up, Yeah, Paige Beckers. I didn't
know if it was the predecessor was right, Paige Beckers.
So Beckers was handed the honor in special fashion ahead
of her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, which I
know you love when they do their spirit walk.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
The tunnel where everyone dances, you see con try to
do that? Do I have to wear a samurai helmet?

Speaker 13 (58:53):
So at the end of the spirit tunnel as they
call wm A Commissioner Kathy Engelbert was there waiting to
hand Eckers the honor, and then fans noted how when
Clark received it last year, she got like a phone call,
FaceTime call that was just put over the speakers during
a fever practice. They did note that the Fever was
actually in the playoffs last year and that the Dallas

(59:15):
Wings are not this year. But people still think that Clark,
as much as she pined, the game should have gotten
a little bit more of a little bit more respect.
By the way, Becker's received sixty five out of the
seventies sixty seven votes and it needed Clark got sixty six.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Well, congrats to her. Again.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
This goes back to the first story. This is mid
because you're looking for drama. Why are we looking for
drama all the time? Get a life?

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Get a life.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
This is like a non story that we're trying to
make a story, and every experience is going to be different.
With that said, I'll just add this one quick thing.
It's the evolution. Yeah, the game's getting The WNBA is
growing every year. That would be like someone saying back
in the eighties and nineties the NFL draft was like
low key. Now it's a big, huge event. Yeah, things
get bigger as things grow. So Caitlin Clark got a

(01:00:02):
FaceTime and a how do you do this?

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Gets an appearance on a daytime talk show. Who cares
like things evolve?

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Yeah, deal with but good stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Yeah, thank you Fy. That was fun made me laugh today.
All right, let's go to Dan Buyer for an update dB.
What's up man, guys? The game finally ended in Arizona.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Giants could a five to one win in eleven innings,
So right now is the standing sit for Riches Mats
two game cushion over Arizona, two and a half over
the Reds and Giants after the Red speed the Cardinals
today six to two.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
I brought that up, and there's something else we want
to bring up, but Danny whispered in my ear. It's
not official, but I think it's worth bringing up, just because.

Speaker 7 (01:00:44):
It's rumored on several sites, but no official numbers are
out yet.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
That's what I was gonna talk about before I brought
up the wild card. It's not official, but we might
have an ultimate fail on our hands. You know, sometimes
someone overestimate. It's how many people are going to show
up at an event, or how many people are going
to go to a concert. You see a lot of
artists unfortunately cancel their tour, and you're like, why they
cancel their tour and they don't like to say it,

(01:01:11):
so they'll always like sneaker out with like oh illness
or a family matter or something. And it's usually because
they can't sell tickets or a movie totally flops because
eight hundred people went to see it and you're like, wow,
that movie made only a couple million dollars and it
had an eighty million dollar budget.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
You're like, oh, you know you you mentioned my love
of limp biscuit before.

Speaker 6 (01:01:31):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Fred Durst put out a movie and John Travolta was
the star of the movie. I think like thirteen people
saw that movie. I don't know it existed. Yeah, they're
saying Angel Reese, now, this is just this is rumor,
nothing confirmed yet.

Speaker 7 (01:01:46):
Yeah, and there's also a report saying this might be
misinformation from hater misinformation.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
It's being reported that only a couple hundred pair of
Angel Reese's sneakers have sold, which is crazy because if
you watch that docuseries, this can't be true, right, You're like,
no way, because Shaq puts so much into getting Angel
Reese involved, and they put so much into that shoe

(01:02:16):
and if this is true, it's not true.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
And it might not be true, but it's it's social
media rumors, which again are so ify. But do you
know what, do you doubt it? Ryan Danny J Do
do you know anyone that's going out to buy the
angel reeses?

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Like this?

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Would not shock me?

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
I don't know, man, do you know anyone?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Do you know anyone that we about five hundred and
fifty pair?

Speaker 7 (01:02:35):
She's nothing, She's one of those but she's one of
those players people love to hate. So I can see
how this misinformation is out there from writers.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
That's interesting in itself.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
This might be just a bad rumor to you know,
ruin her image, tarnish her image and her star power,
but would shock you though, It would make me wonder
if if it was real. I'm like, well, is it
just a weak ad shoe or do people or people
look at Rebogky like that's just a week?

Speaker 6 (01:03:03):
Ask you?

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Or is it a sign of her likability and star power?
I think that's what the question. I think that we
