Speaker 1 (01:39):
In the news, we got a we got a whole
conversation based on do you want the competition sumo.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Wrestlers to get to? But I haven't. I know that's
how is that racist?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
There's gonks because they did that in the eighties and
sixteen candles every time they said long duck dong racist,
Thank you do we pretending like gongs aren't part of
the culture. Let's just say that was Rich's idea. Thanks now, Rich,
before we get into sumo wrestlers, because I do want
to talk about this.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
What if we're trying to summon the Undertaker. Yeah, that's
a gong. Come on, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, yeah, the the Undertakers. It was a different soundings,
not a gong like the Gong show.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I don't think about that.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
I thought the Undertaker would the gong. Wasn't that a
part of his bit? It was more like Dome It wasn't.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I was just sort of rolling with you, Sam. I
was trying to think about that. So Iowa said on
the ones and twos, he's on the buttons. He's the
fastest finger in the West, Ohoa, fastest dropping the West.
We got Danny g super producing at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. If you want to get involved,
Spotty Boy does our videos with Elijah and Soger the
best team in the biz. And he's getting ready for

(02:52):
midweek major DB's got your updates. And I have a question, Rich,
just to get it rolling. I want to play a
game who has a dumb question? Because sure this could
be a competition. Y'all know what time it is, keep
on rolding baby what you got so after the show,
you know it's spring training, man, you know what that means?
Time to get in shape. Otherwise you can beat a

(03:13):
fat guy on the beach again, and it's not even
fat Tuesday anymore. So after the show yesterday, went to
the gym, trying to keep my resolutions going, just trying
to get a quick workout it and I realized, Ah,
I forgot my gym clothes. And that's like sort of
the worst feeling ever because then you feel like, well,

(03:35):
not to be racist, like you and Iowa, Sam, but
it's usually a foreign guy in slacks, right, there's.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Always like a guy in slacks.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I used to work out at a gym in Jersey
City and there was the same dude that would come
after work, and I don't think he changed. He would
wear like his dress shirt. He's got his dress shoes on,
his slacks, his pleated slacks. He's got a mustache, and
he looks at you and he waves hello, and he's
on the treadmiller, he's on the bench press. That guy.
I was that guy yesterday because I forgot my gym clothes.

(04:04):
And I'm like, oh, I guess I'll just push through
it and just sort of go through the motions and
do my best, even though I'm wearing regular jeans and
a shirt, and then it dawned on me though, Hey,
at least I did it, and it could have been worse.
So the question is what's worse? Ready, what's worse go
into the gym with your regular clothes on because you

(04:27):
forgot your gym clothes, or forgetting your headphones? I don't
use headphones with the gym. Well that's just odd, So
let me talk to normal people. Hey, normal people listening.
What's worse forgetting your headphones when you're going to the gym,
or actually forgetting your clothes, because in my opinion, you
could actually push through with your clothes on without the headphones.

(04:50):
It's a boring nightmare of clanks to me, that's I'd
like the sounds of the gym. I want to.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Hear the.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Whole time.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't need That's called hard work. You should look
into that. I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, I don't need that. I don't need to hear that.
I like listening to my music as motivation to kill
the time, or listen to a good podcast like ours.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
How do you move? How do you like?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Get too craziest? Guy? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
They both sucks.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Are you trying to blurt out there. Are you trying
to get rid of this? You don't want to hear this,
you don't want to hear the guys.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I'm trying to ask, what's worse because tennis or sex go?
You know what? I think it's actually forgetting your headphones,
because that makes me want to go home and either
go and get them or call it a day and say, well,
I guess I'm not going to the gym today because
I can't push through the gym without something to listen to.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
But it's just too miserable.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
At least there's some form of music going. I know
it's it's kind of off from the distance, but at
least there is music at the gym. I know it's
the worst. You could push through both, but motivated. No
one's answering my question. I would say close. I'd say
clothes or worse to leave forgetting your clothes?

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Close?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Music, all right, Danny G says music. Think about when pump,
but I'm in the right clothes close are the worst? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
To me?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I am a sights and sounds of the gym. I
like to look around. I like to listen to the
the ambiance and vibe of.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
The joints, that means you stare at butcherts.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's true. This question wasn't how unique is rich everybody?
Let's talk about that. You look around not everyone's got
headphones everybody, dude nine. It's like two old ladies and
you that don't have their headphones. It does suck a
lot to not have something to watch or listen to
when you're working.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Everyone doesn't.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, yeah, so people with no music, bad music taste,
don't listen. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say, neither's that terrible,
And I'll tell you why because much like when you
have a big pimple on your nose, you think everyone's
looking at you, it's not about pats like you really
don't looking at you. You got you know, sweaty gene ass.
And I'm not criticizing you.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
But Spot's right.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
He said, how are you gonna do squats and jeans?
You think this guy's you're not, but you're not.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's my point.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Any sort of physical activity that you got to move
your arms, you got to move your legs, and you're
restricted by regular.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A T shirt.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Let me sure you could do like if you could
do a spot if he's wearing a T shirt, jeans
and sneakers. He could go on the treadmill and walk asid.
He doesn't run. He walks on like an inclined I
know he doesn't run. You feel weak as hell, and
your regular clothes at the gym, you're just walking. You
were that guy, and then you were the You were
the phone guy that you waved that if you if
you're doing curls and dips and the bench press, you

(07:24):
could wear jeans and no one would care but you. Hello,
I'm getting my steps in Hallow.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
You Steve, that's me. That was me yesterday.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
I have to get ten thousand steps a day. I
felt that lame about it. I posed a question because
a lot of the feedback came in and it was like, well,
at least you had your headphones, because that's even worse.
I'm like, let me think about that. So I did
have my headphones. That being said, my goodness, the odd couple,
what a show. Props to them, that's what he lets. Yeah,
they're fantastic. I love me some Bob Parker and Kelvin Washington.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Great show.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
So anyway, they better give you a shout out to
I don't need a shout out, gig.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Up, I'll do it. I'm going to be on their
show today an hour two sounds good.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
He's the hot seat. Tell him. I said thank you
for getting through that miserable day yesterday. So that was
just my first question to ponder. And then I got
to say, man, I saw this clip that sort of
blew my mind.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
But let me hear your question.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
For Danny g. What's your question on the hot Seat
today on the Odd Couple. Oh, I can't give away
the topics you to tune in for. Yeah, damn three
hot hot takes. I did the hot Seat about a
month ago and he got goned. Yeah. I don't know
if I can handle that pressure.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Man, you guys ever been invote to the hot seat?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
You should do it. It's fun. Just think of it.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Think of yourself as a pro wrestler.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Viina doesn't like to do anything.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
There were two characters growing up my children's book, My
Richard Scary children's book. It was Pig will and pig won't. Right,
he's a pig won't. I realized that a very young age,
I'm a pig won't. Sam Pig won't. Ask him twice,
he definitely won't do it. I don't want to. I
don't want to guarantee you'll never do it. He'll never
do it, righty, here we go. Come on, dude, do it? No, thanks,
I'll never Nope, come on, no, no, I'm definitely not

(09:02):
doing it. What was your question?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Rich?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Before we get into this, I have a football question
that's going to blow your mind. Guys, blow your mind?
What was your question? I mean, now that you're talking
about headphones of the gym and this while pale in comparison,
our good pell Jay Stu from the Gottlieb Show. Who
you know Jay Stue? Superstar actor, producer, He's done it all,
you know Jay? He looks real snooty, but he's a

(09:24):
really nice guy. Snooty, yeah, he wants so what do
you mean?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Snooze?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
So he's mean mugging everybody, but when you talk to him,
he's a really swell fella.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Your abe proman that guy.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
So Jay Stu said, if I'm looking to brought in
my terrible TV watching and I wanted to watch a
dating or reality show that's not The Bachelor, I'll tell
you what. Jay Stue went to the expert. So I
can't wait to hear what you told him. And Unfortunately
I don't watch all these shows, but I had an

(09:57):
answer for him. He's like, if you were to watch
Well show older than the Bachelor, that's pretty good, JAYSU. Right,
it's not bad.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
If you were a Walter show older than the Bachelor
in the dating world, what would it be?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
And he's like, it's like Temptation Island. There's all these
uh love Island fantasy that I said, you know what,
I feel like, Love is.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Blind might be the one.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I agree with you unless it's pretty good, unless, of course,
you just want to see hot booty and if your
objective is like hot ass, too hot to handle, or
one of those shows where no one could keep it
in their pants, if that's what you're looking for. But
if you're looking for entertainment, Danny G would you back
me up in Love is Blind might be the best
of those.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, even though this current season eight is slightly boring, Yeah,
it wasn't. Usually it's a good watch.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, Dave was the only weenie on this season that
bothered me so hard hitting questions to start the show.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
What's what's the best?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I agree with the best cheap dating show. It's just
not as trashy as the other ones. It's actually pretty
decent because this is social experiment. But love is blind
is a great answer. It's more popular and better than
The Bachelor nowadays. If that's your steeze. Too hot to handle,
if you are going like raunch, Too hot to handle
is funny because you get all these twenty somethings and

(11:16):
they're there.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
To just like get naked, and then.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
On episode one it's like, this is a trick you're on.
Too hot to handle, And the reaction they give when
they're told they're unable to hook up it almost as
if you took away food from them or.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Drink, Like, I don't know if I'm gonna survive. I
haven't gotten any in twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Wait, I can't.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I can't get any moody. How were all I live?

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Like?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
They're ridiculous? There's no sex? Oh man, god, what's wrong?
I think I'm dying. What's the matter. We're totl gotten
any in two days. We were told for the extent
of the couple weeks around this island, we can't have
so yeah, because it is very sexual. If you want
ultra trash, that is the way to go. Too hot
to handle. If you want a decent show, but still trash.

(12:00):
I would say love is the blind? Is the answer?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Today is the blind?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
So we ask you two hard hitting questions to start
the show. But now the real Meat, Now, I gotta
say Dan has had another dating show, The Real Meat
spelled me e t oh okay. Yeah, that one's on
Meat of Wisconsin. Yeah starts uh starts next fall.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
The real Meat Now.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Stan Byer dropped this little nugget in his update yesterday,
and Rich wasn't listening because Rich doesn't pay attention.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
That wants to tell jokes all day.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
You know, Rich, the regular Luise regular Louis c k
over here. So Dan Byer said, hey, guys, I don't
know if you saw this, but there's this clip of
Micah Parsons and he's trying to wrestle a sumo guy
and he can't even budge him. And I remember looking
it up because we're doing the show. I'm trying to multitask.
I'm like, really, that sounds interesting. So I looked it

(12:54):
up real quick and I'm like, that can't be it.
During Dan Buyer's updates, you're usually cleaning your sneakers with
that's the respect you get.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
That's called multitasking.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, and that's also a great cheap skate tip of
the day. Use the company's wipes to clean your sneakers.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Okay, fair enough.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
So he's talking about this, I'm looking it up and
I'm saying to myself, this can't be it, because when
I'm picturing a sumo wrestler and an NFL player, I'm
assuming like this has to be some sort of Yoka
zuna six hundred pounds sumo wrestler if a NFL superstar
can't budget them, managed by mister Fuji or so. Yeah,

(13:34):
So I'm like, hey, you know what, I'll look it
up later. I'll look it up later.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
This can't be it.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
So, dude, I looked it up and I'm like, oh no,
that was it. There is a clip and again Dan
Buyer said it, but until you see it doesn't register.
You got to see it with your own two eyes.
They're on this Tokyo trip. They're on a trip, and
Micah Parsons is with a sumo dude. They're in their
sumo diapers and everything. You know those things they wear

(13:59):
at Asumo diapers called sumo dipa, Well, that's the technical term. Yeah,
And Michael Parsons is full on trying to budge this
sumo guy, but full on, like using his legs, running
as hard as he can, and the sumo guy doesn't budge.
He slides maybe half an inch, not even, but his
legs and knees never buckle. And Michael Parsons is like,

(14:20):
it's not fair. I need someone my size, but this
dude was barely bigger than him. Like he wasn't some gigantic,
you know, super sumo guy that you have in your imagination.
He's like an average looking sumo dude and he couldn't
budge him. So it dawned on me. I'm like, yo,
I know it's probably been thought about before, but if
they could teach these guys some technique, I'll never downplay

(14:42):
the technique an NFL player has in the skill level
that they possess. But if they can't budge a sumo dude,
you can't teach this dude a few tricks and get
him on the line somewhere. If you and this has happened,
if you find some seven foot dude, a new Bau
living in the jungle somewhere, you try to train that,
do you know how to play basketball. You've seen rugby

(15:03):
guys the NFL has experimented with, Like, yo, these are
some tough sobs. Can I tell you? When we were kids,
they is the thing they handed out called the Weekly Reader.
Ye way back on a Wednesday, we would all get
the Weekly Reader, and the story was that they found
a seven foot dude in a jungle and they're teaching
him like fighting a line or something stupid like that.
They're like, and they're going to teach him to play basketball.

(15:25):
That was the story we were told when we were kids.
That they're also a movie with Billy Crystal, but I'm serious.
That was what it was, what was told in the
Weekly Reader. And I remember talking to our teachers about it.
That guy was minute ball because he had the natural
gifts and the height. They just had to teach him
the skill. And now his son is doing his thing.

(15:46):
If these sumo dudes are that strong from their years
of training and they have this particular set of skills
where they can't be budget, you can't teach them a
little dip and rip and get them on the line
to protect the quarterback or something. You can't teach him this.
Michael Parsons looks like a little baby boy trying to
budget this dude in this clip. I couldn't believe it.

(16:08):
I showed it to Rich. Rich please back me up here,
Dan Byer, you were right. I'm sorry I downplayed your story,
but I couldn't find it in that moment. Until I
saw it, it didn't really register.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
It is a It is a great video. And Michael
Parson's like, I need a different weight class so that
this guy was outside of his weight class, not by much.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
He was, yeah, like that's what I'm saying. You're picturing. Well,
this guy must be yokazuna. Yes he's not. Do you
have the sound I was laughing at him. Here's the sound.
You could hear everyone they're like, oh, I can't budge him.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Class.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
We class. But meanwhile, Michael Parsons is a star in
the league. Here's how I see it. He's a star
in the league, and he's a specimen. He's a built dude, right,
and he's going all in. He was committed, he was trying,
and to my knowledge, it's probably just some random sumo guy.
Is he a superstar? I don't think so. I know

(17:11):
the movie I'll think it of was not Lilly Crystal
do you remember the air up there with Kevin Bacon. Yeah, dude,
he found the dude. Yeah that's right. Yeah, they could
play basketball. Listen, the forty nine has tried this, and
I'm sure other teams have where it's like, you know,
there's a badass rugby guy that has no fear, he's tough,
he plays rugby. That hasn't necessarily translated to the NFL.

(17:34):
But I don't see why soccer kickers haven't necessarily translated
as well as you would think as NFL kickers. I
remember there's a story a few years ago about some
sumo kid they brought into a college camp. Like I've
heard the story before and obvious, you know, the thought
has been there before, but when you see this, you're like, man,
they got to figure that out. These dudes are too

(17:54):
big and too strong. You know who was actually a
sumo champion, Because there's a part of you racist that
things all sumo wrestlers are Japanese or of Asian descent.
You know who's a sumo champion? I saw this on
a wrestling documentary. Remember the Big Beefy wrestler Earthquake.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think his name is John Tenta he was a
sumo champion, and I saw a very similar footage where
big bohemoth guys probably a comedian earthquake too. He could
have been a sumo wrestler, but do you know what earthquake?
The wrestler could not be moved and they were like, hey,
do you want to wrestle? Because he just had athleticism.
I think what you're saying sounds hilarious, but there's something

(18:38):
to be said about if sumo wrestlers cannot be moved
by Micah Parsons, Like, why wouldn't someone say at least
try Hey, there's millions of dollars involved. We need to
beef up our offensive line. Do you want to be
the National Football League? Think of culturally right, the discipline
involved in everything these guys do. They can't figure out

(19:01):
some minor techniques.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
There's run blocking, there's and it's not just it's not
just power on power. A lot of guys are gonna
have that swim move, so they gotta have good feet.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
How about this?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
You ever see the here's my reference point, which is
absurd and ridiculous. You ever see the hashpipe video by Weezer?
Imagine this, there's a bunch of sumo dudes. You're like
dun dun d d pushing their hands up. All they're doing.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
You don't think these guys's just there's.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Similar to the over bum bum bum bum bum bum
boom bum. You don't think they could protect the quarterback,
get their feet a little quicker. Come on, man, I
think there's something there. When you see the clip, I
know it sounds ridiculous, like, oh yeah, great thought guys,
sumo dude, watch the clip and you'll think twice about it.
After watching the clip. There's no difference from what Cavino's

(19:50):
saying when they find like a seven footer that's never
played basketball and it's like, hey, let's let's see what
there's something here? Or again rugby players. Does that translated
to the NFL soccer kickers? You know soccer guys that
have a striking foot and you're like, yo, maybe this
guy could kick sixty our field goals.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
When you brought up your Niners trying out rugby players
made me think of the famous drop we have the
aus muffed it. That was your guy, Jared Haynes. After
he muffed a punt.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Jared.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
They said, you know what, you know? That was the
forty nine ers theory. This is I remember I was
living in LA because I remember they signed them, and
I remember where I was. I was living in Trimnoak,
so I had to be within the last ten years.
The Niner side, Jared Hayne, and their whole thought was
this guy can't be stopped on the rugby field, so
he could be punt return, kick return special teams. This

(20:46):
guy's as tough as they get, and it just didn't
really translate to the NFL. But based on the Micah
Parsons clip, you don't think this could be an international opportunity.
We've seen what Shohey has done internationally for baseball. I
don't think what you're saying is funny or crazy. This
could be if they found the right guy, that could
be a great story. I mean, yeah, great experiment for somebody.

(21:08):
Yeah it's funny, but I think there's nothing crazy about it.
When you first say, like, really, Comuno Sumo Wrestlers's lineman.
But if you see this Micah Parson's clip and you
can't budget them, and then you're thinking, like, well, all right,
imagine if it's Nick Bosa or Max Crosby or Miles Garrett,
if there's guys that could that could you know, get

(21:28):
in the way of these beasts in the NFL. There's
got to be a team that's investigated and said, ah,
there's a reason, and here's the reason. Because technique, that's
what I would imagine. Yeah, I think the NFL people
possessed the years of technique that shouldn't be her mind.
And it's not easy to learn and pick up. Sumo's
all balance though, and like and technique. So it is

(21:50):
an interesting thought.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
And listen, the movie The Replacements is way ahead of you, guys,
because they had an offensive tackle named Jumbo Fumiko Fumiko
Jumbo Fumiko, who is a titious nman, a big Japanese guy.
So they were well ahead of you.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, watch the clip Fox Sports Radio Nation again Michael
Parsons with the sumo. Dude, he can't budge them, And
let us know what you think. Is it possible? Do
you give these guys more credit than you originally would
have thought. You're not the first to think of this, obviously,
but I just no, no kidding, Yeah, it's an easy
thought to happen.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
When you see it, it's different.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
There's a huge Reddit thread that pops up immediately, and
here's the title. Why don't NFL teams recruit or train
sumo wrestlers in guard positions? And they said civil wrestling
is based on power, explosiveness, low center of gravity, balance
and quickness, all the attributes of alignment. Yo, for real,

(22:49):
watch look like I said, watch this clip. Get back
to us at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
and again we're gonna talk some fighting. There's big news
in the world the fighting. You know what some of
the answers and some midwe major, Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 2 (24:16):
You know what that looks like to me?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Good pass protection from the sumo guys in this video,
the Weezer hashpipe video. Great pass protection. This clip has
gone viral. dB mentioned it yesterday, but you have to
see it with your own eyes, otherwise it doesn't register
one ear out the other, and your visual is probably off.
When Dan Meyer said there's a clip of Michael Parsons

(24:39):
versus a sumo guy, and he couldn't budge him, I
really did picture this gigantic sumo dude. Yeah, he's not
that big. In my opinion, Michael Parsons looks bigger and
he can't move the dude. So the obvious thought comes
to mind, why are they not investigating it at least
on another level to be an NFL pass protector lineman something,

(25:00):
and Rich says he has the answer. First of all,
there's a take two and take three, and Parsons does
better as it goes on and he starts moving the guy.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
But it's a battle.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
So when you're talking about one of the elite defenders
in the National Football.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
League against some random sumo dude not like the guy.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, but you know, we're not the only ones that
have seen this. Dan Byer pointed out the Kelsey bros
were talking about this, and they were saying that in
the NFL we might not know this.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
We're not players. There have been some.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Coaches that have shown footage, especially if this guy Taka
Noyama Shuntaro. Now this guy apparently has such technique that
his footage is shown too. Linemen to talk about balance.
Here's the problem. Well, there's a ton of money to
be made in the NFL. We as Americans are culture

(25:57):
that is money hungry, and we care so much about
money But in Japan, if you're a sumo champion, you
are treated like a god.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Right, there's more class than that.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
They are way more interested in being honored.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
There's no way you could lure them in. They don't care.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Like you tell some Japanese sumo champion, like, come to
the NFL, make ten million dollars, they'd be like, my
honor is more their honor, and the and the the
clout that goes along with this way more important to it,
much more than to be a sumo champion or sumo
superstar than being some dude in the NFL. But when

(26:37):
you see again one of our stars versus some random
sumo guy, it's amazing to see the thought obviously is there,
and your thoughts on other things translating. I know we
have a phone call about rugby translating in the NFL,
vice versa all that other stuff. Every team's gonna have
one sumo wrestler by twenty thirty, He'll say. I'm just saying,

(26:57):
if they were able to nab that one dude, right,
it makes it such an international move. Now you have
everybody in Japan excited about American football in the NFL.
It's the next step it's the next step for international expansion.
Now baseball. Baseball's huge already in Japan, which is why

(27:17):
the Otani's and the uh you know, the players over
the years didn't know you know, Judeo Nomo's and chie
Decki Metsui, like, it makes sense because baseball's the biggest
sport there. They don't have the NFL, So unless there's
an intrigue, like it would be like me telling you, hey,

(27:39):
go to this country and do something you have no
interest in. But what you do where you live, you
have honor, like Silmo wrestling has honor. So it's an
interesting one, very interesting and you got to see the
clip to see what we're talking about. But stick around.
We got midweek major coming up. We're gonna talk fighting
real quick phone call now eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. What's up Nick in Virginia? What's up about?

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Hey, how you fellas do it?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
We're good man? What's up?

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Well, just kind of going with your conversation. So the
Eagles left tackle Jordan Malita actually was a rugby player,
and I can't remember if they drafted him like seventh
round or signed him as a free agent, but yeah,
he was rugby player. He spent a couple of years
on a practice squad with Jeff Stotlin, and then he's
been our left tackle for like three or four, three
or four years now.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, I know the rugby scene is one that's been
investigated and Kevino's right. For years it was like, oh,
if you're a soccer player, that's you're you're you got
a superfoot and you're a striker of sorts. When you
assume maybe that guy could kick sixty yardfield goals, yeah,
I mean, you see kickboxers, turnboxing, turnboxer, you see a
lot of other moves being made.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
This would be a really cool one. I would love it.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
It would be a great story. We can only dream
and fantasize, but surprising to see what's.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Up, you know, and a lot of guys who wrestle
in high school going to make great offensive tackles and
offensive lineman cause, like you know, staying in the United
States domestically, wrestling and being an offensive lineman have share
a lot of components.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, there's there's a balanced technique, all those things. So
all right, there you go, think about it. Sumo wrestlers
in the NFL, could it be Let's go to the
guy that showed us the clip yesterday, Dan Buyer, for
an update.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
What's upde Well, see.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
If they can block Max Crosby, because the Raiders defensive
end is now the highest paid non quarterback in the
National Football League. Gets a three year deal worth one
hundred and six point five million dollars, the average annual
salary breaking down to about thirty five and a half
million per season. Crosby gets ninety one million dollars guaranteed.
Danny's Raiders were busy. They also signed free agent guard

(29:38):
to Alex Kappa today and are likely to.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
Release quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
The Eagles are bringing back linebacker Zach Bond after an
All Pro season. He gets a three year deal worth
fifty one million dollars to stay with the Super Bowl champions.
The Seahawks have given wide receiver dk Metcalf permission to
seek a trade elsewhere. Seattle also released wide receiver Tyler Lockett.
The Jaguar Ours let go of wide receiver Christian Kirk.
While we had another trade, and it involved the Bears

(30:04):
getting an offensive lineman, and a pretty good one. The
Chiefs traded All Pro guard Joe Tooney to Chicago for
a twenty twenty five fourth round pick. The thirty two
year old Tony was a first team All Pro this season.
He's entering the final year of his contract. Speaking of
offensive lineman, Joel Botonio is going to be back with
the Browns for a twelfth season. Bengals defensive end Sam
Hubbard announced he's retiring at the age of twenty nine.

(30:26):
Spends seven seasons in the league. The Cowboys reworked the
contract of quarterback Dak Prescott, freeing up more than thirty
six million dollars in cap space, and the Celtics take
on the Portland Trailblazers tonight. Boston will have Jalen Brown, However,
they will be shorthanded without Jason Tatum, Drew Holiday, and
Christaps porzingis all up been ruled out.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Guys, back to you, Thanks Dan Buyer.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
And by the way, thinking about this, rich, there's gonna
be one sumo dude in the future. World's a smaller place,
social media and other influence down there, there's gonna be
one dude who feels like it's not in his sumo
heart to wear that diaper and be a sumoch champion.
He wants to be in the NFL. Remember like the
elf that wanted to be a dentist. You know, Yeah,
he's the one Sumo guys like I need to be

(31:09):
a line I don't want to make toys. I want
to be a dentist. I don't want to wear a diaper.
I want to block. Yeah, because he sees the clips.
I'm telling you, it's the story into making. It will
happen one day and I will quote this moment when
Steve Cabetto called Ita. I just wanted to say that,
in the world of baseball, not a big signing, but

(31:30):
a vibe signing, as I call it. The San Diego
Padres took a minor league, major league type contract out
on Jose Glacias. Oh my god, I'm sorry the Padres,
the Padres. Aren't you sad about that?

Speaker 2 (31:44):
But you should be.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
He was the heart of your team. I mean, so
spray paint your omg RN signs mustard, yellow and brown.
So Jose Glacias biner league, major league joint contract offer
from the Padres.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
So look at that.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Maybe he'll bring some of that magic down to the
San Diego area.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
I mean, you hope not. Candalita as a Mets fan.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Again, if you knew to our show, Rich loves his
Mets and Iglesias was a big part of that team.
He just thought it was an interesting move because he
was such a big part of the team, vibe wise
and the reality Kuvino the Padres got him on a
minor league deal, so like the Mets couldn't. I really
feel he earned just that by being a vibe guy.

(32:28):
I know that sounds ridiculous. Latino vibe is sort of
why I thought Soto was choosing that team, and I
thought he created a lot of that fun and a
lot of that hype for your clubhouse.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
I think he should have kept him.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
But you know what I'm saying, Like, I know, no,
I wouldn't count on Soda bringing vibe.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
He could hit, he's not bringing vibe.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I know that. You know, no one gets a free
pass in professional sports. But if there were gonna be
a guy that got a minor league deal based on
just the vibe he brings. And he's a clubhouse guy,
and he came in clutch and he bat it over
three hundred. It's not like he batted one twenty. He
bat it three hundred, and utility guy and but the
Mets decides to go to a different direction. So hey,
congrats to Jose Gleasias bringing his pit Bull remix Oh

(33:08):
My God to San Diego. All right, So, coming up
on the CNR Show Gram Program Live from the tyraq
dot com studio, big news in the world of fighting.
Dana White signed a super sweet deal with Turkey Ala
Chik starting a new fighting league. I'm a big boxing fan.

(33:30):
I'll never say that boxing needs saving, right, I think
they're doing just fine. But I'm not against this at all.
And I'm posting a question, can he quote unquote save
boxing because people love to say that, Oh boxinga plus
sports power couples. There's a new one, it seems, and

(33:50):
it got me thinking, I have some thoughts about KD
and Angel Reese will get to all that coming up
right here, can we know Rich Fox Sports Radio, Hang tight,
Welcome back to the show, Covino and Rich, the world
famous CNR Live from the tyrack dot com studios. Hope

(34:12):
you're having a great one, Happy Ash Wednesday. Let me
give you a trivia question. Sure on this day twenty
three years ago, that would be two Okay, A very
popular show debuted that sort of changed reality television, The

(34:35):
Real World No before two Osbourne's Sharon, Here you Go.
The Osbournes debuted twenty other brainbusters.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
That's impressive. That a guess.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
I mean, I didn't have to give you a hint.
Twenty three years ago. You were away younger man. You
might have been in high school, you might have been
in college. Yeah, because at this old age to actually
work for Ozzy Osbourne, I'm on Ozzie's boneyard every weekend.
Hey you like me now? Hello?

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Dad dye?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
That's right, that's series six thirty eight. What do you
pay like way, old guy Rock? I do? I call
it old stinky Uncle Rock and then people hit me
up like old stinky Uncle Rock. Well, yeah, well I
guess that means you're the old stinky uncle. If you
don't think it's you with you ac DC Black Sabbath,
Black Sabbath, by the way, reuniting for the first time
in twenty years this July with Metallica and Pantera and

(35:27):
Anthro that's my calendar, by the way, if you want
to know what Old Ozzie's last performance, Yeah, I thought
Ozzie was returning from touring. Yeah, this is the last
show July fifth in Birmingham. If you want to know
what old stinky Uncle Rock is, just listen to Cavino
on Ozzie's Boneyard, or just listen to any old sportsky show.
It's the music they come out of commercials too. There
you go, I indulge in some of that too. Give

(35:48):
me some back in black. You know it's an old
guy radio host when coming out of commercials.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Back in Black hits without a doubt, Classic.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Da It. Welcome back to the sports that Owl, Welcome
back to the fan. That's uh Iowa Sam on the
ones and twos. We got Danny g super producing eight
seven seven ninety nine m Fox. We got Midweek major
coming up next hour. But I'll set this up. Get
the wheels turn in a little bit again. Covino and Rich.

(36:18):
We go to any big fight that we can. We're
trying to get to this May second card with Tiafima, Lopez,
Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Rollie Romero. I hope Tank Davis
gets on that card, the four Current Kings, that's May second.
So we're trying to go. When you head up your
boy Jim Lampley, he's gonna be back calling the fight,
which is awesome. I'm gonna do that right now. But

(36:40):
the big story today is can Dana White save boxing again?
I don't think it needs saving, but it does need structure.
It needs changes, no doubt, no diggity. So this is
the story. Per Ring Magazine, TKO Boxing Promotion has done
a deal, a multi partnership between TKO and Turkey Ala Shek,

(37:03):
that super rich Saudi dude that's making all these big
fights happen. No start date has been announced, so again
Turkey alask who's the guy, and TKO, led by UFC's
Dana White and WWE's Nick Kahn, fighters signing schedules. Locations

(37:24):
to be announced really soon. What does that mean. I'll
explain all that to the best of my abilities. This
is a new story as of today, but from my understanding,
this will be huge. This will be a game changer.
This knocks the whole boxing world upside down and it
turns boxing into what UFC has become, meaning there's just

(37:44):
one belt for every weight division. Dana White promises the
best fight the best, a brand new boxing league. So WBA, WBOBC, IBF,
none of this matters anymore. It's your whatever the name
of the lead is right, you're that champion of that
weight class, best fight the best. They start from the

(38:05):
ground up. They follow the same UFC model and they
go after young talent and sign other dudes. So it's
gonna be really interesting to see how this shakes things up.
Because the biggest criticism would you say, shake it up
or shake it up? Shake it out? Shake it up,
shake it up, Turkey ala chic. The biggest criticism is, well,

(38:28):
we're not getting the fights we want and there's so
many belts.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Is stupid?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Right? You got four different champions in one different weight class.
I mean I follow boxing pretty closely. Your guy that
follows it way close can he knows the biggest boxing fighter.
I follow it because it's like anyone else. That's not
true at all. I'm a fan watch You watch fights
every weekend, the matter how big or small. That doesn't
mean you watch like everyone else. In a quest is inaccurate?
In a quest to MBGA make boxing great again? Is

(38:56):
this what is gonna there's a hat. You didn't see
female wearing that hat? No, Segas, you are a super fan. No,
because it's viral today because our press conference is promoting
the May second fight that you should also be promoting
if you want to go not downplaying. Can he will
he save boxing? Is the question, Dana White. I think

(39:17):
it's going to be a great move. That's just my
personal opinion. I think it's gonna shake everything up and
we're gonna finally get to where we need to be
in the world of boxing. I think the criticism that
there's too many belts is a very fair one, Danny.
You can never have enough belts, I mean, and they're
gonna spread the wealth, be nice leather one and nice.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Uh you know j C.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Penny. I haven't have one that is like an old
school GM seat belt, a nice little uh buckley. Would
we go to all these fights in Vegas? Yeah, I
know you feel the same way I do. Since you
don't watch every week like Cavino. There'll be two guys
fighting and you're like, they all have what they both
have three belts each?

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, that's it down.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Wait, this guy's the WBO, but he's the WBF. But
they're in the same way class But not really. Here's
my question, though you might not even know the answer
to this much like how with what happened with the PGA,
are they gonna have to get fighters, like how the
Live Golf Tour sort of stole the fighters. Uh to
my understanding, Yeah, I think they're gonna your players are
gonna have to just surrender their belts and get signed

(40:23):
into this new league.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
But again, they're starting.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Dana White is really just on a quest to start
from the ground up and get a lot of young
talent out there and get them known, market them, and
spread the wealth to all these fighters. Again, that seems
to be the plane. It's what he's saying. But you know,
more details as time goes on. I think this could
be huge in the world of fighting, and I can't
wait to see how it shakes things up and what

(40:46):
happens to these other sanctions Your thoughts at Covie and
Ratchew will take your feedback at eight seven, seven, nine
