and Rich is called the United States of Whatever. It's
version five, so check out our social media pages for
updates and more, and our Fox Sports Radio clips at
Fox Sports Radio, let the Wild rumpst start. It's a

(01:21):
new day eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's Go.
My number one observation has nothing to do with the election.
It has to do with when Donald Trump's up there, Yeah,
doing is thank you, thank you. I like when he
does his dance. That's the best part, does a little dance.
I was sam I'm working on those moves. Can you

(01:42):
hit me up with some YMCA because I feel like
I like how that's his song is beyond me. But
it is Donald Trump's up there, village people style. You know,
he knows what this song kind of represents, right, I
don't think he does. Okay, just check it. I think
there's just reason to do that dance. So he's up

(02:04):
there dancing alright, everybody, thank you, thank you. I can't
take my eyes off of you. Could kill the village people,
not literally.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Whoa.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I can't get it out of my head. How humongous
Baron Trump is? Is this kid gonna be in the NBA?
Everyone on that stage is like relatively normal? Highe a
little tall? What Donald's like six two or six or three.
I mean, they're pretty tall, the entire family. And his
kid's even taller. I'm like, yo, take a seat, kid.
He's been tall for years. It's just every time you

(02:37):
see him, he's even taller and six ' nine now,
and he's wearing a suit and he's standing sort of
near the center of the stage, and whatever Donald's saying
is going in one ear and out the other, because
all I'm thinking is he's got to be six six,
six ' five.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
No, baby's sick.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
You know how tall Baron Trump is six ' nine.
I remember just a few years ago he was six ' seven.
He's a growing boy. He's a young man. It's like,
I mean, what a big fella. So that that was
my one bird brain observation with Brownie. Yeah he is, Yeah,
he is great defender of that kid, a boy. Yeah,
so hey, I did notice that as well. That was it, Yeah,

(03:18):
that was it. Okay, But my Trump is tall the end.
I love lamp. My other observation is a question for
all y'all, is it fair to compare politics and sports.
There's a lot of similarities. There's a lot of parallels.

(03:41):
Parallels for example, strategies. Hey, the Yankees lost. I was sad.
There's a lot of sad Kamala fants today. There's a
similar feeling. You're pulling for somebody, you're rooting. There's other examples.
There's plenty of parallels and analogies I can give you.
So yes, I mean, and the reality is whether your
political candidate or your team wins or loses, life goes on.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Life goes on without me.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Really why is way more important than the other. That's
maybe the major difference. But there's a lot of similar
feelings involved.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's funny.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Rich brings that up though, cove I just texted you
in the group chat. Who who's the czar of the
telestrator for CNN?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh that's John King?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
So King is in front of the board and he
made a sports analogy. He's like, so if you know sports,
and he wrote on the board, look at that thirty
one to nineteen. At the time, he's like, that's the
score right now.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
There where's Perry Lunch following a score, You're like to
look at it like a score four quarter game. And
you watch election night every four years with that same
sense where you would watch a big game, were like
I'm going to sit down and focus in on this.
You get your spot on the couch and it's a
night of watching. And I know you said one's way

(04:57):
more important than the other. Agreed. I can't debate that,
But its effect on your day to day isn't that
much different? True, Like, I know it sounds crazy about
I get it, Yeah, Bush one, if Clinton won, if
Trump won it, Biden, you know, does it really? Your
day to day has very little change. The same way

(05:19):
if like I said to my friend, I go, I'm sorry,
I know you were rooting for Kamala Met's lost two
weeks ago, I feel you were they offended by that. No,
it's not. I don't think it's the same as when
someone says, oh, I get it, I have a dog
and you're like, I'm talking about my kid. You're talking
about your dog. Well, you know, depending on who you
vote for, it could affect the future of your kids.
So people take it way serious and way too heart.

(05:43):
You see a lot of cry baby antics in both.
And I don't like the sports fan that cries about it.
I don't like the political fan that cries about it.
Because you got to move forward. Your day today is
supposed to move forward and you're supposed to hope for
the best. Here's my best its analogy I think if
you want to compare sports to politics. His courtesy of

(06:05):
mister Wonderful, He basically just expressed the same thing I
think and feel, but he said it on CNN and
I'm saying it to you on Fox Sports Radio. He goes,
the Democrats got to look at it this way. It's
a win. Much like the Yankees lost. You go back
to the drawing board and you see where they were
exposed and what the problems were, and you hope to

(06:25):
come back and make those changes and you're stronger next year.
Mister Wonderful said, yeah, Trump wins, but it's a win
for the Democrats for them to now regroup, figure out
what the American people didn't like, why they didn't get
the votes they thought they were going to get, make

(06:45):
the changes, make some adjustments, and come.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Back stronger in four years.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
And that's me that's very similar to a sports like
mentality of yeah, all right, there's some problems here, let's
fix them and come back. We'll get them next time. Yeah.
I mean, there's a lot of analogous things between sports
and politics. Yeah, you're right, but sometimes a kick to
the nerds and a reality check is what it takes
for you to make those changes. Otherwise you don't make

(07:12):
those changes, you know what I mean? Like, you're not
forced to make any adjustments if you think everything's great.
I were reminded last night that not everybody agrees with
your policies and your ways of thinking. Or maybe it's
just a slight adjustment here and there. Maybe it's a
person involved. That's for them to figure out, much like
the Yankees need to figure out the first base situation.

(07:33):
That's all. If an NFL team doesn't make the playoffs
for the third year in a row, then they have
to start saying, all right, well, because I think a
lot of people are saying, man, how did Trump win?
You shouldn't think of it that way. If you're a Democrat,
you should you should not be thinking, man, how did
Trump win? You should be thinking how did they lose?

(07:55):
And think of it. With sports, you don't say, man,
Dodgers win. You got to look at well, where did
we come up short? If you're a Mets fan, a
Guardians fan, Padres fan, and I think taking a good
look in the mirror is how you get better at
your job, sports, life, marriage, and.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
It applies to politics.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
And I think you also see sometimes what what would
be a great example other than maybe Robert Salad Danny
g hit me on, maybe like a Wade Phillips, give
me a coach that is a clear coordinating genius.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
But maybe not a head coach Josh McDaniels.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
And Bingo was his name. Maybe Kamala Harris just isn't
a president. You know, like you, these are all sports
analogies that aren't terribly off right. You find out who
you are, You make adjustments, and I think at the
end of the day, no matter who you voted for,

(08:55):
you really do have to just root for the country.
Otherwise then you're just the a hole. That's what are
you rooting against us? Now? So you could hate Donald Trump,
but well your mindset, there's hypocrisy there. I don't want
this to turn into a political show or debate. There
are similarities. Think of it as a sports team. A
lot of the criticism about Trump and Trump supporters is
that he's divisive, right, and it's divisive, and he divided

(09:18):
the country and he provided a lot of hate speech
that drove a wedge through people. If you now are
a cry baby about the results, whether be your sports
team or the election, and you're like, wow, I'm not
playing and I'm not supporting, then you're then the one

(09:39):
choosing to separate yourself, dividing you with other people, creating
the wedge. You're doing exactly what you accused him of
in that sense. So yeah, united we should be, and
you got to move forward and learn from the mistakes,
back to the drawing board, much like they do in sports.
And they did that on CNN immediately after they started saying, well,

(10:01):
where did we misstep? Where did they go wrong? Was
it this part of the policy? Was it this stance
with it, this person, this move. You try to figure
those things out, much like you do in the NFL
or any other game you're playing. And if you're a
person your team doesn't win, life goes on and you
root for the best teams out of it. Do you
not watch the Super Bowl? Do you not watch the

(10:21):
World Series? Of course that that's the mature approach, but
it does you know, you got to give people grace
or couple days you twelve states. So I didn't want
to talk about the Yankees the next day, and again
it's not as serious as politics, but I didn't, right,
So you got to give people a day or two,
let it simmer, and then hopefully let it process and

(10:43):
hopefully people get on board and just deal with it
and hope for the best. Like you said, and there
are very there's a lot of similarities. Put it this way,
when it comes to sports and politics, it is fair
to compare, but respectfully, you have to almost preface it, like, oh,
I'm not saying there the same, Well it is. It's
like when you are I think the best analogy is

(11:06):
I said it before when you were talking about your
kids and one of your friends is like, I get it.
I got a dog, and you're like, I get it.
The proper way is like, I'm not saying they're the same,
but I do have a dog, and I like, you
have to at least to address that. There's a huge
different there's commonalities, but it's not the same.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
So there you go. That's it. That's all the politics.
You'll get. What's up, Iowa, Samuel, I just want to
go back to the life goes on discussion. If you
are someone who's kind of grasping, grappling with the results
from last night. I saw a great meme about a
month or two ago of a guy sitting in the
stands at Lambeau. The sun is shining. He's holding his
beer up to the sun, like cheers to this great

(11:46):
beautiful day. It was the same picture, right next to
each other, and he's like, my life under Kamala, and
the other picture says my life under Trump, and it's
just like it just cheer. Just the Sun's gonna come
up every day, absolutely, and just you need to just
enjoy your life.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
You're missing out.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, was there any difference when you woke up today? No,
very windy. There's a bit of a leap where we
have a chance now to move forward. It's the wind
of change. You could also look at it like a
new day to make the adjustments you need for four
years from now.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
There's a big fire by my house. I was like
rioted last night.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I mean I woke up the wind wind wind, Damn Trump?
Can you blame someone you Trump? Is it fair to
compare sports?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
He won?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I thought the other side, Where do you go?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
But you know what it's uh, it really is a
do you would you consider today a fun day or
a miserable day to you know, peak on social media.
Consider it Wednesday, like I was, Sam good one. Did
you get that from Mia Sam's joke book? No? I agree,
it's it's just another day. It's a midweek major. But

(12:56):
to make it seem like social media is not a
wild place today, that's another.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Come on, we're gonna have fun coming up later on
the show. Politician or NFL player.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Please, that's great.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
I love it. Congressman or middle infielder. I love it. Honestly.
Can we do that this week? Please? That's actually to
answer Rich's question, is it fair to compare sports and politics?
It is if you do it respectfully. If it is,
if you preface it the right way, and if you
angle it the right way.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Send it.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Not the Senate member or bullpen arm.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Do government worker or NFL player.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
It doesn't even have There's five hundred and thirty five
people in Congress, and that between the House and the Senate.
Guaranteed there's names in there. We would have no idea that.
How about a doubt you might know two names? All right,
Well they have it sports politics. Can you compare them? Yeah?
I guess so. Right, you can compare anything you want Okay, Yeah,

(13:54):
I'm just thinking if there's any other comparisons we could
make here other than express No Jerry, you see, Jerry
Seinfeld said he criticized the school system in New York.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
He said, like, if you need to take the day off,
go ahead, come on, grow up.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, like we said, people process things different. You give
him a day or two and hopefully everybody just moves forward.
There's relief in that. It was a crazy night. It
really was. And one of the things that happened to
me I found to be more interesting personally. And I'll
let you know. As the votes were going up, right
and I'm watching the results, You're like, Wow, this is wild.

(14:31):
Who's more impressive? John King on the touchscreen or Hanson
on red Zone? I don't leave out my Steve karnakiy
of Karnaki, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I don't know. Hanson does it every week, so yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Like when he goes to the Witching box.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, especially when the games get to the Witching Hour.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
They're all impressive, they really are. What's up? Dan Byers?

Speaker 4 (14:54):
I don't forget Andrew Siciliano, even though he doesn't do
it anymore, he was the original. Sometimes feel Scott Hanson
gets you know, a lot of the hype, but Andrew
was there first, and I feel like John King was
there before Kornaky came.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
You know what, and Dan Bayer I back you up because,
you know what, I've never met Hanson, but Ceciliano is
a friend of ours. Yeah, so you know what, why
would we not give him credit? Yes, I'm sure correct. Now,
while the votes are being tallied and they're going up,
I'm like, ah, man, this is cool.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
You know.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm just watching like everybody else, waiting to see what happens.
My daughter comes up to me and she says, Dad,
we have to start a fundraiser page for the cheer team.
And immediately I'm like, well, how long have you known
about this? She's like, I found out yesterday, but we
only have like two more days left to do it.

(15:46):
And then you thought again, when did you find out
about it? And then I was like, when did you
really find out? Did you wait last minute like Dad
did all the time. So I want you to start
thinking back, guys, way back on a Wednesday, when you
would go door to door just trying to earn that
little jacket you wanted. You were selling raffles doing that
sort of thing, because now today's challenge for a kid

(16:07):
most of the time is well, they got to set
up some sort of page, which she did on her own.
This is her little page. And what they were doing
was selling popcorn to raise money for the cheer team
for uniforms and travel and competition and things like that.
It's a charter school high school here in Los Angeles,
but it's part of the LAUSD school system, but they

(16:28):
raised their own money for things like that. So she
did the due diligence of creating the page. And she
asked me that you know a lot of people. Can
you send it to your friends and family for me?
And I said, sure, you're a good kid. You do
good in school, you get good grades. I mean, you
bother me, but you're still a good kid overall. I'll

(16:50):
send it out. She comes running into the living room.
I'm watching the results. She comes running in. She's like, Dad, Dad,
people are buying a lot of it. She went from
zero place and she's skyrocketed with the bullet the first
place immediately thanks to the power of our listening audience.
And I just posted a little link on our private

(17:12):
listener page, Like there's like fan pages. Believe it or not,
we have fans. I know it's hard to believe. I
look at them more like friends and supporters. So I
just posted a link. Hey, my daughter's selling popcorn, and
I made it very clear this isn't a gofund me.
But if you want some popcorn, she's selling some. Yeah. Man,

(17:33):
people came through. The support was real. I was touched.
I was honored. But she went from last place to
first place, so crushing the dreams of the first place
girl in the matter of like twenty minutes. Here's the question.
Seems unfair, but hey, man, I got some pull. What
are you gonna do? Nobody? Here's the question. Is that cheating?
Is it cheating? Not necessarily cheating? I gotta tell you,

(17:55):
it was more exciting for me personally than watching the
election last night.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
She? After a while, I'm like, I think he's winning
by a lot. If if you go to your workplace
and dug in accountings, like, hey, I want to busy
some chocolate for my kids, you know, soccer team. Hey,
my daughter's doing dance camp. Can you buy a gourmet
popcorn out.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Of a tin?

Speaker 1 (18:16):
When when the responsibility gets thrown at the parent. Does
that destroy the whole point of raising the money because
this isn't it's like her is the point or is
the point raise as much money as you possibly can?
So again, and there's a difference between go fund me
because you're just asking for a handout, or you're actually

(18:36):
getting something overpriced granted, but you're getting something back like
a T shirt or a chocolate bar or some popcorn
for that money funding something for the kids.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
All right, Well, like her dad is Tony Danza.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
I know you guys argued over this when the whole
Lissa Milano thing happened, But that.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Was the difference because she was looking for a freebiest
right to send the She's when a rich shot break
the news to you. I'm on the radio. I don't
get anything rich in my life. Is this nerd nick
to my left? But yeah, I mean there's a big
difference between who's the boss money and radio guy money. Wait,
we do nicely, you know, we live in our life.

(19:16):
You know, I didn't start in a sitcom with Tony Danza.
And also you know two other sitcoms. Samantha, you're begging
for money, when when Samanda was begging for money when
a rich celebrity is like, give money so my kid
could go on a trip. That's way different than hey,
you want to buy cookies from my kid's fundraiser, because
you're getting cookies essentially the girl Scout cookie model. Right,

(19:39):
So based on that, and I'm seeing all the support
and I was very thankful and grateful and and as
you know, was my daughter. Do you feel you're taking
away their hustle by doing that sort of thing for them?
So we will take your feedback on that. Plus, of
course we dive in head first to the NFL. Life

(20:03):
goes on when your team loses, when your political hero loses,
whoever that is. We have lots to get to Midweek Mature.
All right, we'll talk sports and pop culture. Cavino and
Rich to worldwide leaders of nonsense and speaking of kids,
have a story about my pin in the ass, I
mean my kid, But Rich, I thought of another similarity

(20:26):
before we move on. You started off the show with
is it fair to compare sports and politics? Well, they're
not the same. That's how you started off, right, Well,
it's not the same, but you know, we make some changes,
we regroup, and we get them next year or four
years from now. If you consistently lose, you got to
address big issues, right, well, where did we slip? Where
did we mess up? So there's that game plan strategy

(20:48):
that is similar but much like the sadness I felt
recently when the Yankees lost and life went on. And
by the way, much like sports politics similar in that
parties looking for their next big young star. Yeah, that's
a similarity for sure. Who's that next? Uh, who's the
franchise guy or girl? Who are we recruiting? Who's that guy? Well? Anyway,

(21:12):
what upset me most about the Yankees right invested just
like you were last night. I was invested all year,
but I was upset that they didn't show up. Man,
they didn't show up. You have to look at it
this way. I think Kamala fought a pretty good fight
with her limited time. She did well, she did well

(21:32):
in the debates, and she showed up. Think of what
she was left with. It started off with Joe Biden.
She had to pick up from there. So that being said, yeah,
he won significantly, but she still showed up. And I
think there's a good feeling in that. Like, you make
those comparisons too, so is it fair to compare it's

(21:53):
not the same, but there's a lot of similarities, a
lot of parallels. Now, while this was going on and
the votes are coming in, my daughter was part of
this cheerleading fundraiser and she started at the bottom and
now she's here. She started at the bottom because she
hadn't opened up her little store, her online store. Each
kid had to open up an online store to raise money.

(22:16):
They're selling popcorn for the cheer team. She came up
to me, Dad, I started my page, She wrote her
little bio, added her little picture.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Thanks for the purchase.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
You think you could send it to some friends and family. Now,
if she wasn't a good kid, I'd tell her to
beat it. But she is a good kid. At least
she does a kid. No, I'll tell you what I mean.
She is a pain of my ass. She's a teenage girl,
so of course she's a pain of my ass. That's
sort of her job. But she does what she's supposed
to do. She gets good grades, she stays out of trouble.

(22:49):
And I'm like, you know what, sure? And I posted
it on like just a Well, we do a Patreon
Monday through Thursday, so I just posted it on like
a Patreon group page called the Carl Page. Before you
knew it, she was top of the ranks. She's in
first place, she has more sales than everybody. Fifty percent
of the profits go to the cheer team. But it
does post a question of are we taking away the

(23:12):
hustle that we developed as kids going door to door
trying to sell little leagraffles by this Little League sticker, yeah,
or fifty to fifties, or trying to sell a chocolate
bar for your basketball team. Are we taking away that
hustle from today's kid by doing the work for them now?
I think no, because I let it be known to

(23:35):
her rich. You have to position these things right away.
I'm only doing this because you do your part. That's
the only reason Dad's helping you in this way, because
you do your part. Otherwise you'd have to go door
to door like that did, and call up family members
and things like that. I think you have to establish
it that way. And I look at it this way.
My mom did so many book reports for me, so

(23:56):
many dioramas, and make me any less of a guy.
I have great work ethic, I don't think so. As
a parent helping a kid out, yeah, you do everything
you can to help your parent, to help your kid out.
There is a layer where it's like, well, the whole
point is for her to learn responsibility and do it. No,
the whole point is for them to raise money.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
I know.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
But I guess you would say the secondary would be
to gain responsibility. But the reality is, if your daughter
had the insight to say, you know, dad might feel
to help, isn't that her using her resources? I think so,
I think, And you know, now the kids are like,
how does Melody know kids from Wyoming? How does she

(24:39):
know people from Texas and Minnesota. It's like, well, because
her dad's on a national radio platform, that's why cheeter. Yeah,
but it's all relative to the size of your steeple.
She's only so cool as cool as she is until
Maryo Lopez's kid is selling popcorn next, right, So the
question here Fox Sports Radio Nation is are you taking

(25:02):
their hustle away by doing these things for them? But
I also want to differentiate the difference between a fundraiser
like this when you're buying something and a GoFundMe when
you're just asking for money. Yeah, that's that's trashy. There's
a big difference if you're just like, give me money.
I wouldn't have felt right about that.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
No.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
But if you're saying, hey, my kids selling chocolate or
cookies for their school, Yeah, here's twenty bucks. Or is
that the same thing to you? No, no, no, no, I
don't think it is. I don't even think it's in
the same ballpark. No, it's you're buying an overpriced candy
bar or you're getting nothing. So your thoughts, any thoughts
from you? Sam? Is it fair? Or did I cheat?

(25:42):
Do you take away a kid's drive and hustle? I'm
telling you, I'm looking back. My mom helped me with
so many projects growing up.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Same, right? Like did she do the work for me
a lot of times? Probably? Did it make me a
bad guy? I don't think so. I always have this debate.
In fact, I could look back and appreciate, Hey, my
mom helped me out. I have this internal debate. How
about when you had a type and I I type,
my you make a mom type? Yeah, because she worked
at at an office and had that equipment.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
What was that joined at my mom's office for getting
some homework done?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You guys, moms would type your book reports. I would
go there, my mom loved me. Was the resources. You know,
in resource, I was using my resources. My mom was
my personal second. I mean my mom would type some
stuff out. My mom could type very fast. I mean
typewriters back then too, electric typewriters. My mom. My mom
did her fair share of But what do you call
with a shoe box? And you made like a scene, Diama,

(26:36):
what's the thing on the on the coat hanger?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
A mobile?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
A mob a mobile mobile, bio mobile. My mom did
all that stuff. But typing, Wow, you guys got your
mom at a different level.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I was using resources, so she was a great typer.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Man.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
If the bigger question is taking away your kids? If
the bigger question is are you taking away your kids? Hustle? Right,
It's like you always talk about how who are the
best fighters, the fighters that are trying to find their
way out of a bad situation. Right, is the Julio
Cesar Chavez junior effect. He doesn't have the fight his
dad had because he was raised with a silver spoon. Yeah,

(27:13):
he was right with Ricky Schroeder. You got to ask yourself, Dan,
like Danny g you and Brenda love to take the kids.
I'm sure when you get the opportunity and have the
funds to go to like Disney. Now, if you buy
the VIP like park Hopper pass and you get to
cut all the lines, that's what you want to do
because you don't want to wait. But you're teaching your
kids the wrong lesson if they never have to wait

(27:34):
in lines.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
It's one of the hard parts of being a parent
because you want to teach them a good lesson patience kids,
but you also want things to be smoother and a
little easier for them than it was for you.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I don't want to wait two hours. I don't want
to wait two hours for Splash Mountain. But guess what
is there a lesson in your kid waiting? Or is
that just no?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
It sucks no matter what.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Right by looking back, there was a prideful feeling you
had when you sold a certain amount of raffles for
Little League or fifty to fifties or stickers, whatever it was,
and you got that Little Little League windbreaker that you
earned because you sold X amount. There was a sense
of pride you did learn. But again, I think it's
how you position these things. I told my kid I

(28:18):
would not be sending those out to our listeners and friends.
If you didn't do your part, it's a good hypothetical.
Let me let me ask you guys one sports related
question with way your mom never covered your books as
a kid. Yeah, with the newspaper bags from with the
supermarket backs. Yeah, so she was doing It's not like
they didn't do stuff for you, right, Yeah, my mom
did a lot of typing. That was good. I oh, yeah,
I didn't get in on that scam. You should have, Danny.

(28:41):
Let me ask you. Because you've attended a lot of games.
I'm sure, Dan Bayer, you're a man. You're a man
about town. You've been to plenty of stadiums and sporting events.
You know how you may have bumped into one person
in your life that's like, oh, yeah, we were a
Nielsen family and you're like, oh, you're one of.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
The people that rated shows.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Have you ever met you were a Leslie Nielsen family?
Does that? Yes? I love Naked Gun please squad, I
feel you. Yeah, I mean my whole family loved it.
Does anyone in the room.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
He's talking about the rating system?

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Oh, the Nielsen ratings. Has anyone ever met someone that
actually won the stadium fifty to fifty because sometimes you
go to Dodger Stadium or big event, it'll be like
the fifty fifties up to four hundred thousand dollars and
you're like, you know, someone's walking away with two hundred g's.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
At a Brewer game a year or two ago, a
friend of mine from high school's dad won.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yeah, that's nice to know because I always think it's
just a scam. Yeah, Like, how do you know if
they gave it away or not?

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, you get you a little print out you I
gotta take twenty bucks worth and you're like, man, when
did they even call these numbers? Maybe I want anyone
who I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It was at a Brewer game.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
It was a regular season Brewer game, so it's not
NFL where there's eighty thousand. And it may have been
like a mid week so there may you know, made
twenty five thirty thousand there, but.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
The winner is Fred Molltor Like, this is rig Man,
Paul's Grandpapy won. This ain't even fair. So I just
figured I throw it out there because every time I
go to a Stateu'm like, man, some lucky person here.
Imagine you go to the game and you walk away
with a few hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's awesome. Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Well, hey, let's go to the guy who knows someone,
Dan Bayer, what's up, DV.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
I always liked Fan Appreciation Day at the end of
the Major League Baseball season, where they would give fans
prizes throughout. Yeah, you know, like you could you could
have won a car if you went, Hey, I got
I got one last question, Dan Bayer. You're you're a dad.
What's more important than these things? The actual cause, which
is to raise money, that's the whole goal, or to

(30:37):
teach your boy, want to teach you a lesson? It's like,
I think the goal was to raise money. The goal
wasn't really to teach your kid to lesson.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
I think it's to teach a lesson. It was very
difficult for me when I was younger to speak to
adults or to talk or to call up and say, hey,
I'm having a and my mom wanted me to do that.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
So that's what I would have to do.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
I would have to whether it be you know, selling
booster buttons for Little League, that's the thing that.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
You would do.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
You would be and it was the easiest sale in
the world, but it was the climbing of the wall
of talking to an adult or being uncomfortable or being
able to present what you are selling.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
You said that, you know why, I'm gonna take some
dB advice because it's a great point Melody. Call your
grandma and ask her. Call whoever and ask him, call
call Rich and ask him. You know what I mean, Like, yeah,
that's that's some great advice. I do, I do. See
both they're.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Going to say, yes, it's more of just learning that
skill to be able to do so.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
And now he's on the radio.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Forty eight Good news for you, Rich forty nine ers
running by Christian McCaffrey. No setbacks from that workout Monday.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Now this would require I was saying, do you have
your grito? On standby Gus? Today is National Nacho Day.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
You know the origin of nachos.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Because I mean, I don't know anyone that doesn't like nachos. Well,
I know, four nachos equal one tortilla. So for every
four nachos you eat, that's one tortilla, Fatty. So look
at it this way. I'm gonna drop a fun fact
about nachos. I do have one pet peeve about nachos.
If you go to a sports bar and they don't

(32:24):
tell you it's like cheese whiz, I'm definitely upset. I'm
expecting melted cheese naziz is better than the nacho cheese,
and they can it's more flavorful than that fake nacho cheese.
I don't. I don't want like pump cheese. I want
melted I want melted cheese, like cheese that was felvita,

(32:45):
grated and then melted. There's places that do both get
I have this theory a wise man chooses nachos, and
I've been on a quest for thirty something years for
the most mega dope chose in all the land. May
I go?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Don't?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
It's a fun game now. If you wonder why is
today Nacho Day? I don't know, but I have the
story in the origin of nachos, and that alone is
worth a quick little breakup, a little uh, a little
palate cleanse. Here on Fox Sports Radio, cavinon Rich, would
you believe that nachos didn't exist until nineteen forty three?

(33:24):
I mean, pizza didn't exist until the fifties. That is true,
So I'm not that surprised, So we've come a long way.
That's why we went to war. Yeah, over nachos, because
there were no nachos. So when you think about it,
tortilla chips didn't exist until seventy years ago. They did,

(33:44):
we wouldn't have to fight the Germans, the Germans and
the Javanese. Okay, here's the origin. The Germans first created
in nineteen forty three. Feel free for mariachi music, Sam
if you want. This is a great story because we
got give credit to a guy that doesn't get any
love when he should, guy that changed our life. Actually
he does, you just don't realize it.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
In nineteen forty three, a guy by the name of
Ignazio Nacho, which is a nickname for Ignasio. Yeah, but
not everybody knows that, so he does get credit every
time you order nachos. The guy's name was Nacho, but
we worked at ESPN. One of our buses Ignasio, I
mean Nacho. There's millions of Ignacio's all over the world.

(34:28):
Nacho is the nickname. Yeah, so Ignasio anaya no it
is Nacho created the original nachos in nineteen forty three.
I feel like I'm at a Mexican restaurant. Right now,
here's the story. Good old Ignasio was in the kitchen
at a restaurant, the Mayer d and one evening a

(34:52):
group of army wives came in, had had the munchies
right around closing time, and Nacho is the only guy left,
and he said, I can think I can make you
up something. He cut tortillas into four, put cheese, jalapagnos
and some toppings, melted it served it to the women.

(35:13):
The women said it was the greatest little snack they've
ever had. People from all around came to have quote
Nachos special, it's Nacho ordinary snack or something. So since
nineteen forty three, this guy has not got the credit
he deserves. So today we say thank you. Or it's

(35:35):
named after Nasio. You just didn't know. He's a notch
man Rich wants.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
To be man.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
So happy Nacho da and thank you, Ignacio, Nacho a
naya for nachos. Covino and Rich and I gotta say,
I don't know about you. I don't know if I've
officially taken the temp mature of the room. But how
exciting to have him back. Oh no, I'm talking about
Christian McCaffrey this week, maybe I can't talk a Trump.

(36:09):
I can't wait, dude, after after eight grueling weeks, nine
weeks of being like, Yo, what's doing with McCaffrey. Well,
in fact, someone wants to talk McAffrey. Let's go to
my dude, Harrison in the Bay Area. McCaffrey back, is
this where the Niners turn on the gas? What's up? Harrison?

(36:29):
But before I, uh, before I go on, I just
want to say I got touched Mahomes here and uh,
you know, last night was a great victory for America.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
And shout out all the MAGA crowd out there.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
We did it after eight long years?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
His mom did?

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Uh? Did mahomes That's mine? I'm not a bad Mahomes
my guy guy. Did his mom or wife say anything
on social or No? Has anyone been monitoring the Mahomes family. No,
but clearly they're happy. She was rocking the hat this weekend.
Ye know who's happy? Nick Bosa?

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Wow, Covino, you have competition. What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
What do you mean Nick Bosa's happening? Anyway, We're getting
ready for midweek major The biggest stories in the world
of sports and pop culture spot are the politics related
because again I feel like a lot of these things
are touchy today, today, tomorrow. You just got to deal
with it. I want you to avoid two things in

(37:28):
Midwek Major. You don't want to hear every athlete's reaction
the rection no no, no, you start over what I'm
requiring you to avoid today in Midwek Major politics and
peanut the squirrel?

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Can you can you deal with avoiding those two things?

Speaker 1 (37:42):
More about nachos because it's not it's national nacho. Then
can we move this to next hour? Oh wait? Actually,
which I enjoyed your story of Nacho Ignacio the nacho man,
because you think about it, it's been seventy years and
if you want to tie it back to sports, go
to the ball game. What's better than the guy who
comes down he has nacho Nacho ser nachos in helmets

(38:05):
every concession stand. It's just part of the festivity, is
part of the game. You go to a what would
they serving a helmet if soup?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I mean, don't you get excited though?

Speaker 3 (38:19):
When they're loaded nachos, like they have more than just
the two generic ingredients like you see in some concession stands,
like just the melted cheese and chips. No, give me
some sour cream, give me some hal some guawk. Yeah,
you gotta load it up.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
And the biggest takeaway from the story is who knew
that Nacho Libre's name was Ignasio Libre? Did you know?
Migueljlapenno was the first one to add I don't think
the average I don't think the average white boy knows
that Ignasio. The nickname for Ignasio is Nacho and Ignasio.

(38:54):
What was his last name? Anaya? Ignasio? Anaya invented him
on this day, nineteen forty three, nineteen forty three. If
you enjoy some mega dope chose on his behalf today
if you missed it, The quick of it is that
he served them late night, when everyone else had left
the restaurant. He cut tortillas into smaller triangles, put cheese

(39:16):
and some toppins, somejlapagos and a few things on, serve
them to a bunch of army wives. They loved it,
and they were raving about nachos special. Did he bread
like Wilde? So he did? He also invent the tortilla chip.
I'm confused. It's around the same time. The Nacho Special
was also a sex move, but I gave it the
old if this is something he panted years ago. Because nachos,

(39:40):
if you ever go to like an authentic Mexican restaurant,
nachos are basically like half a tortilla fried with like
beans and cheese on top. They're not what you think
of as nachos. Why trying to ruin my store x
mex Because it's like that time. These are delicious. What
do you call them nachos? No? No, no, I made them.
I made them there mind?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
How do you guys take your nachos? By the way,
what do you leave off? Medium rare? Don't know?

Speaker 1 (40:05):
I mean like people say like I'll take black beans
like nobody. I'll be honest, I prefer beef. What do
you do I prefer? Do you like a spicy, simple,
simply medium rare with some melted cheese. I don't like
the cheese, whiz and I think, give you.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
What about like vegetables?

Speaker 1 (40:21):
You know, a good shredded chopped onion. Okay, you can
think if you at a restaurant or like a Buffalo,
Wild Wings or a Hooters or something, sometimes it gets
a little too messy when you put too much on it.
It's part of the game. In my opinion, you get beans.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Beans on there, Yeah, everybody, beef and sour cream on there.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
I think we could all agree on that, right, at
least we could all on this day, on this very sad, emotional,
divisive day of aftermath, we can all agree that nachos
are great. Thank you, thank you to Ignacio and Iya.
Some people are ecstatic today, some are sad today, but
everyone could agree that nachos are awesome.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Oh yeah, let's share some, right.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Have you guys ever seen It's a clip I think
from uh I watch a show where it all silks
forever Carnal. I think it's It was either it was
either Community or what's the show where everyone did fantasy
football together? The League? The League? It was one of
those shows where someone got no, I'm sorry, it was
King of Queens. Someone got mad that you can't take

(41:21):
the middle nacho that has the biggest clump of cheese,
that's like the nucleus of the nachos, Like, you can't
be the jibbroni that comes in and goes for the
four chips that are connected to the globe. That's the best,
that's the best. Almost you gotta politely, like work around
that bad globe. What's better that random curly fry in
your fries or that awesome nacho glob the glow which

(41:46):
came out first Saving Silverman, or that episode of King
of Queens. Because in the movie Saving Silverman with Jack
Black and there's you know, Jason, No, no, no different, Jason,
they talk about the nacho. Oh, it's all one nacho.
It's all one nacho. If you just pick it up,
you can't be the guy. That's the lesson to be
learned here. Forget Trump or Kamala or anything of substance.

(42:08):
We're talking nachos, guys. And you can't take the nucleus,
you can't take the nacho clump. And today was the
day nachos were invented. Seventy one years ago changed the game. Actually,
i'm sorry, eighty one years ago changed the game.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Where does it rank in football food?

Speaker 1 (42:25):
It's up there, Danny goes. When you think about it, it
could be a hole in the wall or a chain restaurant.
What's going to be consistently on every appetizer menu? Wings, nachos, yep,
maybe mazzarella si.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
That's pretty amazing. When you think about it all because
this should make a Hulu movie about this guy.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Why so Spot could debate it like you did.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
The Victoria needs to get on this stat lie he
stole he stole that valley? How is there not of
all the dumb food documentaries I watch on like the
History Channel, like The Food That Built America? How is
it not a special on Ignacio Nacho Anaya? By the
way you look them up, you can see that guy.
You you owe him some respect today. Yeah, but it
looks like a picture that should be on someone's old
friend in the eighteen hundred. I mean it's an old picture.

(43:06):
So anyways what a picture is oval? That means it's
an old picture. Thank you guys, and thanks for celebrating
not your day with us. But you got it? Tim?
What do you got there? I was saying, hey, hey,
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (43:23):
If you get the nacho stuck together? And that's one nacho.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
It ties together because Jack Black played who he played?

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Who not Jo le Bray.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Here you go there it is. Well, hopefully you're having
hopefully you're having a bitcoin type of day. What take
a look at your cryptough? Hey, Spot's gonna get to
midweek major But I did want to bring up one
baseball story before we get into a little midweek major
In Week ten of the NFL, a lot of Wan
Sodo news, I'm sure in Covino's feed because he's a

(43:56):
Yankees fan and I'm a Mets fan, So of course
I'm going to get the oh, Uncle Steve, Steve Cohen's
gonna spend whatever he can. I gotta ask, whether it's football, baseball,
basketball your sport of choice, do you ever get upset
if the player leaves your team? But it's clearly because well,

(44:17):
they're making a business choice the most money. Like, I
know you were really but her because we've been friends
a long time. When Robbie Cano left the Yankees to
go to the Mariners, you felt like betrayed. Well, it
was also a time where the Yankees had this level
of prestige to Pinstripes. He could have been the face,
the next face of the Yankees, and the fans loved him.

(44:38):
It's not like they were offering him chump change, but
they were also offering him to be part of a
winning tradition, a pride for organization. They would offering him
the face of the franchise. It's new York City. You're
not asking a guy to move to some crappy city
at the time, right, So you have to factor in
all those things. And he clearly chased the bag and

(44:58):
karma worked against him. He battled injury. He was never
the same in Seattle. He's never the same with your
Mets or the SpongeBob SquarePants that he played for. Later on,
he had an amazing offseason this past year in Mexico.
I don't know if anyone followed that, but Robbie Cano
was never the same guy, and you could say that's karma.
I don't think any decision should be based solely on money,

(45:21):
and no matter whether you play professional sports or you're
just a guy who works at the factory, you know
what's best for your family, what's best for your living situation.
There's so many factors school systems. Is it always about
the bank? If it is, I think that says a
lot about your character. No agreed to one hundred percent priorities.
And I don't just say this because we're happy here

(45:43):
at Fox Sports Radio. It's a lesson that we learned.
I know, if a competitor was like Covino and Rich
will give you a little more money to go somewhere else,
I'd say, little more money, No thanks, I'm happy, I
love our crew, we work with good people. I feel comfortable. Money.
You can't refuse. Money is a different story, life changing change,
the stars of my family and future generations to come. Yeah,

(46:06):
that's different, right, you might have no choice in that
in that case, But a little more money, I don't know, man,
You got a factor in so many different things. You know.
If you're talking like a regular person's job and now
we'll give you five percent more, ten percent more, that
should never be the real reason why you you make

(46:27):
a move, right, No way, man. I'll tell you what.
Rich and I worked the job for the money, and
we were unhappy. And if they came back again and said, yo,
we'll double what you're making now, well double's kind of strong,
but i'd have to factor in. Well, I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Happy, man, And he said, do you double?

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Sorry? Double?

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Later, Danny g nice knowing you yall stay in touch.
Let me know how cold is when he grows up.
But I wouldn't solely go just for the money, because
I realized that I was just doing it for the
check and it wasn't fun at all. It wasn't good
for my mental health. And I'm not one of those,
you know, cry babies about work, but it really was
a tough work situation. It was stressful. It took up

(47:14):
a majority of our day. I wouldn't chase the bag
again if that opportunity came. We did that just for
the money. So ask yourself this question. You're one so
ta And by the way, I still agree. Even though
the Yankees fell short, his at bat in the ALCS
was a top three at bat of all time, all time.

(47:36):
When he sized up every pitch and then went yard.
That was a masterclass in hitting. It was Now again,
sports is a little different because you have a shelf life, right,
I get that. And you could also say, well, there's
no shame in negotiating to raise up your worth and
your value. Right. That's just good bargaining. That's just good negotiating,

(48:00):
And I feel like that applies to everybody. You want
to get the most out of your time, but I
think you should try to do that where you thrive
the most and where you're the happiest. And if you
could get a few extra bucks by trying to see
what else people are trying to offer by seeking your value.
I don't see any crime in that, so I don't

(48:21):
see any harm in what Soto's doing. But if he's
truly happy in New York, then I think you stay
in New York. He was accepted there now an he
thrived there. What it does a crosstown team like the Dodgers,
let's be honest, reaped the benefits that Otani.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
All he had to do is just so to drive
up the coast a little bit.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Drive up the hot the freeway, and I think that's
what makes his case different. And I think the Mets
also makes Soto's situation different. Still New York, but it
is a different franchise. Let's say want Soto. I'm just
pulling out numbers because I'll give you a generic offer
that i've seen. If they saying six hundred and eleven
so for thirteen years, let's just give a generic number,

(49:00):
ten year, five hundred fifty million year for ten years.
But they are saying thirteen years, it could be more,
but let's just say just for that to make the
numbers easy. If I said, Yankees offer Juan Soto ten years,
five hundred million, fifty million dollars a year. For ten
years to play baseball. Wow, what a world. If the
San Francisco Giants are like, oh yeah, ten years, five,

(49:24):
twenty five, who is it for you or me to
be like stay? It's only only twenty five million different
twenty five million dollars in more than most people will
see that. It's all ego driven, honestly because at that point,
how much money do you need? And that's just your
agent trying to get every penny out of this organization
for their own ego. You know, I don't think that

(49:47):
these things should factor. If he doesn't want to live
in San Francisco again, what's best for your family, what's
best for your living situation, All these things should factor
just as much as how much money I'm getting. Yeah,
damn buyer, Dann. You guys are both married dudes with
lovely families. Have you had the conversations with with the
wifies of, Hey, if it's Fox or ESPN or CBS

(50:09):
or NBC or play by play or anything in the
sports world, do you have like those preliminary conversations of like,
here's the money you would have to take, missus Bayer
for us to uproot the fam and move. Have we
all had those convers How about longevity. I think your
your job safety and your longevity with that company is

(50:31):
also as important. How many more years do you getting? No, No,
I haven't had those conversations.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, they do get two personal this stuff.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
So yeah, yeah, I mean my situation is a little
unique because we have a teenage daughter who shares time
with her dad here in southern California. So until she
is graduating high school, say we can't we can't up.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
By the way, is another layer of this that a
lot of people don't realize. What if a player is
playing closer to his actual hometown and he's like, yeah,
I could go chase money, but you know, like my kids,
grandparents and cousins are like, you know, a city away
opposed to you know, let's just say Wan Soto's roots
are in New York and he's like, you know, I've

(51:22):
met people, my family feels comfortable. Now you got a
lot of Dominican support there, that's for sure. Where am
I gonna bear to the Washington Heights area? Basically, the
question is based on the offers we're seen on the table.
The projected offers of one hundred and thirteen million was
it one hundred and what million for thirteen years? Do
you blame your favorite players of millions lots of millions

(51:45):
for thirteen years, do you blame your favorite players for
taking the money? I think if again, if you're a
crappy organization, right, and you know that guy deserves better treatment,
like like oh Tani, you think that guy should state
and with the Angels, that dude deserve to win. It's
kind of like goodwill hunting. You do wish well for

(52:08):
those people who deserve it, like nah Man Otani gave
us everything he could with the Angels, Go and win
a championship. Buddy, you've earned it and you deserve it.
You gotta want these people to thrive and strive. If
they're really chasing a championship, that's different. That's not chasing
the bag, that's chasing the chip, and that's what sports
is all about. So you really have to ask yourself, well,
what are they doing and if you know that it

(52:30):
was just for the money, And with Kenoe that was
a great example, that's exactly what it was.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Beat it.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
I lost respect for you. You're right about it being
a more than ten year deal. I'm here in thirteen
because he's twenty five, and there's gonna be a deal
that they're saying would get him from twenty five to
thirty eight, a thirteen year deal. But from everything I'm reading,
the starting point, just say the starting point is ten years,
five hundred million. Wow, who's willing to go from there?

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Right? Yeah? The last number I saw was six hundred million.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Yeah? Was that it? It's like six hundred thirty years insane? Yeah,
I mean, he's twenty five. You also have to keep
that in mind. So my point is, if the guy's
already set up like Soto set up, they could win
in New York. It's not like there's some they just
played in the World Series. If he was playing for
some Dodo team, I had no shot. If you're Mike Trout,

(53:25):
if you're my yeah, again, if you're like a Mike Trout,
you're like, yeah, man, I'm sort of wasting my career
here with the Angels and Anaheim. Then you could see
that guy wanting to leave and go for the victory
for the legacy, for the ring. Those are things that
are much different, in my opinion, Rich than chasing the money.
They're close in New York. What do you mean they're close,

(53:47):
meaning they a couple adjustments in their playoff team right
possibly back in the World Series. Exactly. Yeah, that would
be a reason. If you are a player that cares.
And from what I'm reading, according to ESPN yesterday on
Soto's number one priority, then this is all lip service,
I believe. But number one priority winning? Does he gotta
say that? Well, then he shouldn't looked too far away.

(54:11):
I don't know how much I believe in the.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Half of me believes that Rich. He was the last
Yankee out there watching the Dodgers celebration.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
She was. I respected that. Wow, spot, did you just
go get us na Nacho Day? We got nachos? Everybody,
wait before you take it first flight, who do you
have to say a prayer for for? Was it? Agnacio Anaya? Amen? Cheers, man, cheers,
not your tears? Nice? Well, Hey, happy National Nacho Day.

(54:45):
And let's get into a mid week major.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the week.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
When mid week major, I love that we throw sports
and pop culture headlines and topics at the felt and
it's like the kids.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Say, that's summit. We definitely lead.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
To see it. Our score midweek major yeah, let's go.
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (55:14):
When I say co, you say ve no co rito cono.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
When I say Rich, y'all say Davis Rich Davis rich DearS.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
It is about that time? Do you say rich dufus?

Speaker 3 (55:27):
When you hear the horns hit, you know you've made
it to the middle of the week. Before we pass
things over to the number one and only host of
the segment, we like to yeah, thank you, Spotty for
those nachos. We'd like to roll those big red love
dice over there in the main studio to see who
gets the first take.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
I just rolled a two. I rolled the snake guyes well,
my eleven wins though eleven all right, certain boards, those
are worth a lot.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Riche's gonna get to go first.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
And now, Ladies and Germs, The One and Only the Man,
the Myth the mini series, the most famous person from
Scotch Planes, New Jersey besides Judy Bloom Spotty boy?

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Am I really not allowed to talk about politics? Is hot?

Speaker 5 (56:06):
This is hot off the press? Hot off the press
happened today? Rich with your forty nine ers.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Nick Bosa himself was asked about crashing as you remember
what was it last week brought Party's interview with his
maga hat Yeah, Maga maga. Well, as we know, the
NFL prohibits players from wearing any personal, non approved messages
on the field or during interviews. Well, when he was asked,
he said that hey, if it comes, it comes. Speaking

(56:33):
about the fine, it was well worth it. He does
have yet to be contacted by the NFL or receive
a fine, but he is prepared for it. He didn't
really comment on the election results because he was asked today,
but he did have a kind of a smug look
on his face. So I imagine he's happy. Midweeker major.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I think it's I think it's mid.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Okay because you know, guess what more people voted for
Donald Trump th Kamala Harris. So to think it's like
crazy that an NFL player supported, you know, the Republican candidate.
Nick Boss is gonna be happy as well as seventy
something other million year voted. A lot of people just
weren't allowed to express their feelings and express the fact
that they were voting for Trump. That's why people are

(57:12):
so shocked and surprised by it, because if you admitted
that you're voting for Trump, you were deemed like this
bad person. Yeah, and it seems like a lot of
people voted more than you thought.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Nick Bosa owned it.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
I think it's sort of mid as well. Spot how
much fine? Now, that's the thing like looking at whatever
it is, I'm sure is chump changed for an NFL player.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
Last time I checked caliber, I believe the finds were
somewhere around like twelve thousand for the first offense.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Okay, I think it was like twelve thirteen thousand or
something like that, which is nothing to get his little point.
Who was recently we had the player that were the
EyeBlack that said something, Yeah that was I think that
was the third thirteen for the first defense. So for him,
that's that's zilch so mid story. He got his point
across it for Nick. Both over to the other other

(57:59):
eye roll folks. Travis Kelsey, of course, sticking up for
his big bro Jason after he was involved in that
verbal altercation turned into phone smash last weekend. In the
PI latest episode of New Heights, of course, opened up
addressing the moment Travis acknowledged how the magnitude of his
relationship with Taylor so just taking a toll on Jason

(58:21):
h and feel, but feels it isn't as big of
a deal as everyone's making it out to be. He
went on to add that if some quote effing clown
came up to talk about your family and you reacted
in a way to he reacted in a way to
defend his family, and he used a word he regretted
and he's owned up to it. Jason, of course, addressed

(58:42):
the incident on Monday Night Football this past week, saying
he regrets saying that midweeker major this said nothing burger okay?
This week? Speaking of burgers, I think you told me
to avoid politics. You know, there's a can feel the
guilt burgers that Travis has for putting his brother in
the situation. I mean, they're reaping the benefits of it,
don't get get it wrong, but there's some negative that

(59:04):
comes along with it, and we witnessed it, yeah this weekend.
But you I always say when it comes to these
social things, I always ask myself who's offended, who's mad?
And I've only found one person that's mad at Travis.
I'm sorry, Jason Kelsey, and that's Harvey Levin at TMZ.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
He's the only guy that I saw.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
I'd be like, oh, you know, we usually be held accountable, dude,
I think most other people would have been held accountable
in a different way. But on the flip side of that,
you could say, well, we all know Jason Kelsey for
being and love Jason Kelsey for being the every guy,
so maybe he's earned that pass in this situation, and
we all played dumb to like like these are doing

(59:41):
better than anybody I know, you know, just we're professionals
at that. But it's a matter of context matters, and
it actually was factored into this situation, which was kind
of refreshing because usually when stories like this happened, context
never matters, and it did in this one. And I
think that Travis just feels a little bad that, because
of his popularity, put his brother in this situation. Yeah,

(01:00:03):
the sorry, you know, Dodgers not only cost the Yankees
their twenty eighth World Series title, but also cost a
fan it's official two fingers. As you recall, the video
went viral of.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
The Dodgers fan lighting off fireworks at the postgame celebration,
and you saw it went off.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Just a little bit too early exploded.

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
The guy was trying to walk off an explosion of
his hand well, his father, Kevin King Senior announced officially
at his twenty five year old son, Kevin King Junior,
lost his index and middle finger on his left hand.
I underwent two surgery, still has to undergo another surgery.
No word on whether he'll whether or when he'll be
back at work, but a GoFundMe has been set up

(01:00:45):
to help with his medical bills, which have surpassed ten
thousand dollars. Maybe he should sell popcorn Midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
I think it's uh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
I think it's major. It's a reminder for you know,
no offense to this kid, A reminder for dopes not
to play with fireworks, right, I mean, like, what are
we doing? Your team wins and your lighting off explosives
then also you almost blow your hand off. I mean,
I'll give this guy a high three.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Was this the Dodger's eighth championship? What it was? Right?
So he has as many fingers as championships. Maybe it's
the curse of this guy. Maybe you'll never win, that's it.
Maybe you'll never see nine because this bozo went and
took things too far. Right, Now, that's the curse of
the King, it's the greatest point you've ever made, so

(01:01:32):
I think it's a major story.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
In fact, let's go Yankees, eight trophies, eight fingers.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Hey, Like we said about the political situation, you go
back to the room and fix your problems Yankees next year.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
This twenty five year old never see the old school cartoons.
Everybody knows you put a trail of gunpowder right to
the explosives.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Or light it and throw it. Don't just like look
at it lighting. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad
for him. No hold in your hands, Yeah, put it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
On the ground and light it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
You don't have to hold it just to.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Light it anyway. Next all right.

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
As we discussed or has been mentioned, Bob Costas officially
stepped away from calling play by play, especially after the
extensive backlash he received this past postseason. Willkasa sat down
with MLB Network's Tom Berducci earlier this week to talk
about the decision and didn't hold back on the reason
he decided to step away. He said, I felt that
I couldn't consistently reach my past standard. I have too

(01:02:29):
much regard for the game, for the craft, and whatever
my own standard has been to hit beneath my lifetime
batting average. I just felt like the past couple of
years I couldn't quite reach that. So he's acknowledging that
he has been slipping a little bit in recent years,
kind of echoing the sentiment that a lot of people
have been having watching. It's sad, but at least he's
acknowledging it, stepping away midweeker Major.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
It's mature, but I hate it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
So it's a weak because I love Bob Costas and
we talk about what a great legend he is.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
But the fact that he had to man up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
And be like, I'm not the broadcaster I once was
in regards to play by play. So it makes me
sad a little bit, but you know it doesn't. I
think he's taken the high road because he's Bob Costas,
and you know, we did speculate. I remember Dan Bayer
saying maybe he did lose a little bit of speed
on his fastball. I don't think that was really even
the factor whether or not he did. I think the

(01:03:20):
world changed too much around him where our expectations were different,
and he can't. He's not able to meet our current
day expectations, our tastes of change. That's all all right,
thank you spot Thanks guys, appreciate you. We'll wait no
more time for midweek major. But next week, what was
your next story? Give me that story? What was it?
I was going to be either about Donald Trump talking

(01:03:41):
about Kaitlyn Clark in the pay in the w NBA
or the McDonald's ice cream machines now could be fixed.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
WHOA, that's a major story and you led with what
you led with.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Sorry, Donald Trump and Kaylyn Clark came up in the
same discussion. Yeah, I know nothing of this on your
own time about salivating, that's like a major story.
