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

Speaker 1 (00:23):
All right CNR on Fsrright, I hate you with a.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Fun fact to start the show.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I mean, is it really that fun?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I mean, arguably like mildly fun fact.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm not even certain it's a fact. If you probably
got it on TikTok or something.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, is it about you on Broadway again? No?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
No, not my day's on Broadway, Danny J. A term
was developed today in eighteen seventy seven, and I know
you love these stupid ass fun facts from back in
the day. It was the Cincinnati Inquirer who termed this
phrase that we still use today in the world of baseball.
Slightly different though, they refer to this area where the

(01:03):
late fans would gather and they would they would push
them all together like cattle.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
What do you think the area is? The bullpen?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
The bullpen, and then they later use that term to
you know, stignify where the relief pictures would warm up,
but the bullpen originally whereas where all the late comers
of the game would hang out down the line by
the outfield. I heard your doctor when you were born
came up with the term little number.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Is that true? Stop it there? I got some boy like,
how do you know the little number? Little number?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
And then that's how that came to be a lot
of people don't know that. So that's Rich Davis. I'm
Steve Cavino. Thanks for the fun fact. I do often wonder, though,
ri'ch where those sayings came from or how they started.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, I mentioned that yesterday, not to overdo it, but
that documentary about Spaulding and Rawlings and Wilson on the
History Channel. Yeah, it does make you realize that these
sports are not that old. Like we've we've talked about
how nacho chips and pizza and all these things were
developed in our parents' lifetime. So these things, pizza is
the biggest mind blaster. I think our parents didn't grow

(02:11):
up ordering pizza.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
That's really thought. What well know what I thought.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Super Bowls are numbered, correct, you you're gonna be if
you knock out one, live a nice long life. You
could make it to like Super Bowl one hundred.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You know, in the future.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
And you know, kids are gonna say, you believe torpedo
bats were invented when our parents were old. That's a phrase.
It one away already. Who cares about torpedo bets? I
don't know the little leaguers of the future. Let me
start by asking a Rando question based on your New
York Yankees, and then we're gonna get it to NBA. Listen,
last night just proved that is it a bunch of
road dogs in the NBA road teams winning? All four

(02:53):
road teams won for the first time ever. And that's
the beauty of sports. There's always something you've never seen before,
like last night's Yankees game. Speaking of the Yankees, Aaron
Judge hit a bomb. Aaron Judge is the bomb that
as high ne as far that is gone all rise.
The Judge hit a bomb, or as Michael Kay would say,

(03:15):
see ya. And this kid made a really great catch
in the outfield. And as I explained to Rich and
everybody else, who's willing to listen, if you're catching an
Aaron Judge home run in today's game. That's the equivalent
of catching a home run.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
From Baite Ruth.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's the equivalent of catching a home run from a
showhil Tani, a modern debut Ruth.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's no one bigger or better.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
And as the saying goes nowadays, Aaron Judge might be
probably is the greatest right handed hitter these eyes have
ever seen. So when you catch a home run, line drive,
home run opposite field from Aaron Judge, that's a big moment.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I mean that ball only goes.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Out of Yankee Stadium, by the way, just for the record,
that's a that's a a fly ball to right field.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
It's a frozen rope. And where that came from.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's red and nine in the score. But any other stadium,
I'm rich the frozen rope. So that was a rocket
out of Yankee Stadium. Some kid catches it him and
his buddy's go ballistic. Has everybody seen this clip or no?
Danny G you see this one?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Sam?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
You see this one? Iowa, Sam's on the ones. That
two is Danny G super producing. This is here. This
is a great junky. Ya'll reenacted for you. Okay, can
you imagine the feeling of a line drive home run
coming your way. You're one of fifty five thousand people. Ah,
you brought your mitt like a twelve year old. Ah,
catch it, line drive. You feel like the chosen one.
You snag this home run.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
You and your friends, God. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
While they're celebrating this moment, Michael Ka is like, and
a nice catch from the fan. But what you don't
see is that when you're jumping around like a bunch
of idiots, which I totally understand because I would do
the same thing, the ball squibbles out of the guy's
glove and it rolls on the fence. It like bounces
on the fence, dude. This guy, a guy right next

(05:03):
to him, picks it up and puts it in his pocket, Like.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
What didn't see anything? Dude.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
It was the most heartbreaking clip because I was like,
you gotta you gotta give the guy the ball back,
and the kids were after their celebration, they look in
their glove and they're like, what happened to the ball.
You've always been the type of guy that says, find
there's keepers, losers, weepers, And I've always said that if
I caught a home run or even a foul ball,

(05:31):
I'm not giving it to the kid next to me.
You know why, because I've waited my whole life for
that moment. So I'm gonna keep it, give it to
my own kid, even if my kid's not with me.
I'm gonna give it to somebody, my nephew, or keep
it depending on what it is.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Babani or Judge home run.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
This one Judge home run, right, and he's having a
magical season, MVP already putting up crazy numbers. He's batting
four hundred, hitting bombs. And as a guy that says,
you know, I would keep it and not give it
to a kid, I'm not saying I would take it
from a kid. I would have to say in this moment,

(06:06):
if someone dropped this ball that they caught, you would
have to automatically give it back to them. Now, this
guy played it off like yeah, I don't know what
you're talking about. And it happened also quickly, but John
Boy broke it down and went viral on social media.
Everybody was talking about it. It does pose the question
of what would you do? And I will tell you

(06:28):
that the guy that ended up retrieving the ball, the
guy right next to the kids, he gave it back
as of today, but I really do believe he did
it because of social media pressure. Everybody zoomed in on
it and saw that the guy caught it because MLB
even acknowledged it and they wrote finders keepers. I do
wonder your thoughts on the whole finders keepers, losers weepers?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Was that your Yankees thought or question?

Speaker 1 (06:53):
It was?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Actually? Okay? You know, our dumb brains are on the
same page. Nice. Well, that was one of the bigger
stories last night.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
But I think when you think about that phrase finders keepers,
losers weepers, it brings up another story that I saw
in the news, and it does go back to well,
if you find it, is it yours? In fact, there's
two other stories. Did you see that Brinch truck in Chicago?
They forgot the latch the back of it. Three hundred

(07:18):
thousand dollars was just blowing around the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's crazy. If you pick up a stack, Danny g
are you giving it back?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's like those dumb machines radio stations used to have
at remotes, Yeah, where they contestants go in and try
to grab as much cash, blowing around as they could.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Because there's a few stories that has to do with
finders keepers, losers, weepers.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
One the Aaron Judge home run ball.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Famit snags it, just dribbles out of his glove and
the guy next so sneaks sneakily gets it. Second story,
if a bank truck doesn't latch the door and hundreds
of thousands of dollars are just out there, are you
giving it back? I would try to keep that unless
it was traceable, because I'm like, whoa.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, they couldn't trace the cereal.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, then in that case, you're doing the right thing
by giving it back if they can find out it. Yeah,
I mean it feels it feels like, oh, you buy
a really nice purchase with cash real quick, Like oh, let.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Me buy a car cash?

Speaker 1 (08:21):
You go by if they could trace it back, like
who's the JABBRONI that you know paid with this money?

Speaker 5 (08:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I would feel too risky to keep that when I
would want to keep it. And then there's another story.
It was like a local story. Some old guy, some
old guy who needed money, he was broke, already looked
like a broke Santa Claus.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Some older dude goes to.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
A thrift shore, a thrift shop like a good Will,
and he buys a couch, like an old couch you
see in your grandparents' basement.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
It was orange and brown, you know that rangy.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Brown couch that everybody had in the eighties with the
wagon wheels on it and flowers and his orange and brown.
This guy bought a couch and he sit on it
and he's like kind of uncomfortable, and he opens the
cushion on the ottoman, and inside the cushion was forty
three thousand dollars and he couldn't believe it. One would
think that, oh my god, good karma's finally coming back

(09:16):
to me. The gods have spoken, today's my lucky day.
But this guy felt an immense level of guilter or something,
because he then reached back to Goodwill to see, well,
who donated this couch and returned every penny He returned
every penny that just happened.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
They better have given him a big reward.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Dude, I said, give him twenty percent, give him thousand.
And the guy even said he needed it, but he
felt better returning it to its rightful owner. Apparently like
the person's grandfather stuffed that couch at forty three thousand
dollars and nobody knew about it, so he had no
legal obligation to return that money. But that's another current
story that just went viral this week. So what would

(10:00):
you do and do you believe in finders keepers? I
think Dannyg's wife Brenda would divorce him if he gave
them money back.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'll tell you what. In that case, I'm keeping that money. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I think I'm keeping that money. You buy a couch,
you feel like, whoa, why is that not your destiny?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Man?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I guess that's whoa.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Grandpa.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
He probably put the money in there, he had, you know, dementia,
forgot about it. It's your money at that point, it's
been so long that the serial numbers are no longer traced. Well,
that's your cash.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
And by the way, it's different the grandkids or whoever
ended up getting that money back, the kids of that guy,
they had no idea that this money ever existed. They
didn't know where it came from. But this guy who
bought that couch from the thrift shop said he felt
like it was the right thing to do. And I guess,
you know, from a moral standpoint, maybe it is from
a moral standpoint in each case is therefore me ask

(10:47):
you from a moral standpoint?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
You see, this happens every year. There's at least one
of these stories. Someone's an estate sale.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Or yard sale and they find a painting and they're like, yeah,
ten bucks, and they don't realize it's like a million
dollar painting or.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah to me, alway's very similar. That's an old box
of nineteen fifties baseball cards.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, twenty bucks. That happens on pun Stars every once
in a while. Rick X like he's some righteous dude
where some guy wants, like, you know, take fifty bucks
for it, but Rick knows it's worth you know, a
few thousand, And because he's on TV, he's like, I'll
tell you what, man, it's worth a little more than now.
I have my guy come in and appraise and and
because he doesn't want to rip him off on TV.

(11:29):
That's really what it comes down to. But it's sort
of that same thing. What would you do in these situations?
A seven seven ninety nine on Fox, the baseball dude,
I would have gave it back.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm happy to hear today that he did.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
I do feel that he felt the social pressure to
do so, though, because it looked like on TV that
he had no intention of giving that ball back. He
was trying to play it off. Too many people saw
it the couch money. If I bought furniture or bought
anything from a garagea like you said, rich and ended
up being valuable to me, that's just man, that's just
look on your side for once, Dan, need your prayers

(12:04):
were answered. You could pay off your debt, you know
what I mean, whatever the case is, like, oh my god,
that's my kid's college money.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
To me, that that's when you keep it.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
What if something was accidentally stored inside your purchase like
last year, Oh no, this lady who flipped home, she
bought a dresser and it was taped up from moving,
and the person she bought it from they didn't they
didn't remember that they had packed the family's china inside
the dresser and then tape the dresser up. So she
gets this dresser home that she bought online from. The

(12:34):
person opens it up and there's this expensive china, all
these dishes in china inside the dresser, and she got
a hold of the person she bought it from and
she returned the family place.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I said, case by case, China to me means Diddley squad.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
She could have sold it. That's worth a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I get all that, but that to me seems like
a family heirloom of sorts that I wouldn't give a
didly squat about family pictures? Almost Yeah, like you know
what this is probably meant for you, guys, and it
was probably passed down.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
The cash money that's universally good for everybody.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
Well, how much was is a random home run ball worth?
It's probably not worth really anything, so he should give
it back.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's mental and he did as of today. But man,
what a funny clip, guys. You gotta see if you
haven't seen it, the quickness of the guy next to him,
because again.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
It squibbled would squibble be the word?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, squibbled it along the top of the wall, and
some other guy snagged it.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Kind of wild to see. What would you think? You say? Yoink?
He yanked it? He yoinked at.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
When I bought my house, the same family had lived
there forever, like since it was built. So when we're
going through the attic with our contractor, I did find
stuff that I put aside. I'm like, let me call
the og owner if I can and be like, hey,
do you want like your kid's high school yearbooks from
the seventies and eighties.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I thought I was doing a good deed, and like
now you throw it out. So sometimes people just don't.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Want that crap when you think they might trash and
treasure all that stuff. But yeah, money, man, give me
three thousand dollars. There's a lot to give up if
you found it. Give me the ruling on not forty
three grand in a couch or in a vase or something.
I feel like it's also the plot line of like
a comedy where you take the cash, you think it's yours,
and then you gotta knock on the door. It's like
the mo Like it's like some some mobsters, like, yeah,

(14:27):
you got on money. You bought that couch. You were
not supposed to buy that, and you already spent the money.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
Have you guys ever seen the movie A Simple Plan
with Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
First of all, I would just loves the band.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
A Simple Plan is an excellent movie. It's about these
two friends who find this plane crash in the woods,
and like Maine, they find like two hundred thousand dollars
in cash in a bag. And it's not the people
coming after them. It's what happens between the two friends
and how they try to divvy up the money and
all kinds of chaos and suits. It's a fantastic movie.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
But Sam, if you found money knee, wouldn't that be
like a modern day version of like you found the treasure,
you found hidden treasure. That's your treasure, one eyed Willy's
treasure found bizarre Wisch.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
This is this is my wish. This is my treasure.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I think that's way different than the ball, way different
than anything else. That's my money. I try to be
a good person. I want to do the right thing,
as Spike Lee said, But in this case, I'm keeping
that treasure I found it.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
If you felt guilty, couldn't you just replace the money
with a whole bunch of io us?

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, just as good as this is good? All right?
So all right break it down this way.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
You walking down the street, Yeah, you see a twenty
dollars bill on the floor. Do you immediately pick it
up quickly and put in your pocket or do you
look around like hey, it's like, do you look at
the vicinity, like maybe that lady dropped it, Like how
quick are you to just put in your own pick
it up? And you do the you know, over each shoulders,
So anyone, Yeah, first you make sure it's not on

(15:53):
a string so you don't get punked. Yeah, yeah, there
or something right now, you gotta look over each shoulder.
I do wonder to what extent would you say finders, keepers, losers,
weepers when it comes to I mean anything for that matter.
Are you if you're in a hotel room and the

(16:14):
previous person left something there, you're not taking it? Yet
people do because the reality is people take things all
the time. We're giving ourselves a lot of credit and
we shouldn't. We're just being reasonably good people. How many
times have you left something in a hotel room? Called
back ten minutes later? They're like, yeah, can't fight it
all the time. That's like something stupid charger charge. I
left my laptop charger yep, really because I left an

(16:35):
hour ago, someone took it.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
You know, I left. I left a leather jacket of
the close at a hotel.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
That's my point. That's caramel work in your to your advantage.
So how many times that happened to you in your life, right,
and you're like, man, I just can never do nothing.
Now you walk in and you have this prize there,
Why are you gonna give it back? This is this
is how life makes things even for you. Man, that's

(17:01):
my money.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
My mom.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
My mom recently found a gift card laying in a
parking lot and just for the heck of it, she
picked it up.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
And went into that store and it had like eighty
bucks on it.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
And I was like, I was like, I don't think
that's a I think that's a fives keepers, because what
do you do you?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Hey, did anyone drop a gift card?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Is that why your mom's wearing work boots from work
boot Warehouse.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I didn't tell you where have the gift card?

Speaker 3 (17:27):
All right?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
So your thoughts at eight seven, seven, nine nine one
Fox Really funny story out of Yankee Stadium last night.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yankee fan gotta see the video catches the home run.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
In fact, we'll put it on our Instagram story at
Covine on rich guy catches the ball in celebration, squibbles
out of his glove the guy next to him in
the slickest way possible. I will say, I'm real grabs it,
puts in his pocket and again, hold on, you don't
see it in real time. That's the thing. Because I
saw this in real time and didn't notice. I thought, man,
what a great catch. You didn't see it until they

(17:57):
slowed it down an instant replay. So what are the
rules of finders keepers, losers weepers. We'll get to that,
Plus we'll talk some NBA and Tom Brady has finally
talked about Shador Sanders. We're wrapping up our John Kenyonis
segment of the Day with what.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Would you Do?

Speaker 1 (18:16):
It's a tough one because I think it's so finders keepers,
losers weepers is a great phrase from our childhood. But
I got one for you. I got a scenario when
I was a kid. We all experienced. I think this
is a relatable one. I think we've all experienced this.
We got into baseball cards. For me, it was around
eighty six, right, and I got way into it. Oh,

(18:38):
I was a year later, by eighty seven hours, I
was neck deep into those wooden I was gonna say
one I was. I was an eighty seven kid. Border
my basement paneling matched the baseball cards. Yeah, those eighty
seven tops with the wood border, so I got way
into it. Any adult that would listen to me, I
would tell him about my baseball cards. And I found

(19:00):
out through a family member that Uncle Victor and Uncle
Angel used to collect cards all the time.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
I'm like they did.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, they're probably uh in the basement in an old
house that my grandma still owned but she rented out.
Probably in there somewhere. Dude, thirty forty years must have
gone by. Fifty years must have gone by since anyone
ever cared. So I was a little kid that took
it upon myself to go rummaging to try to find them.

(19:28):
Even though my uncle Victor and Angel had their own
kids and maybe they rightfully belonged to them.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
They didn't care about it. And I'm the one going.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Into another town in the basement of another home to
try to find these in old cigar boxes, in old
storage boxes and bins.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
They're not finders keepers mind macs. I'm the only kid
that cared.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Is that the same day you found one eyed William's map,
It's the same day I found the treasure. But dude,
I can't tell you how many sixty three mantles I'm
trying to think sixty four Maris Mantles Clementes that I
got because I was the only kid willing to look
for him.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
I mean, you can't.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
I was supposed to find him and give them back
to my uncle that didn't care about him. Didn't tell
anyone though, did you.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Hell? Yeah, told your cousins. They were too little care.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I was the only only when I wanted them. I
hope they're not listening now because they're gonna try to
cash in on it. They come knocking forty years later.
But that's not finders keepers. I think finders keepers losers
reapers is a case by case thing. You know, you
do have a moral obligation sometimes if you have a conscience,
that also applies. But sometimes I think karma works to
your advantage and you got to like live in relation

(20:34):
of those moments. I think it's also you could say
it shouldn't matter, but I think it matters who the
OG owner is, Like Danny the one where it's, uh,
the guy found forty something grand than a couch cushion.
If you found out who the og owner that couch was,
and it was like the Buxtons who live in Calabasas,
I'm keeping the money. If someone from the Gambino crime Fami, yeah,

(20:55):
you might be like, oh oh, but if you find
out it was like, yeah, single, single mom just donated
that cow, which because she needed the cab. Like, I
think it really depends. I think it's not supposed to,
but it does. You know what happens too though sometimes
and Rich I know you alluded to this before, but
I gotta mention it again. You think you're doing the
right thing and then that person's like, yeah, whatever. You

(21:17):
ever hear that story that Tom Sigura tells. Comedian Tom
Sigora talks about that he was in a cab or
something and he found someone's license. You hear that one
and he's like, you know, I felt this moral obligation
and maybe keep it, and I had this kid's license forever.
He goes, I asked you not Like years later, he's
being waited on. He goes, hey, you're justin and the

(21:39):
guy's like, yo, so what He's like, I got your
license because like, can you mill it? You got it
with you? Can you mail it to me? Like he's like,
do you realize the the coincidence here? Dude?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
I got your license? You're waiting on him? How were
you not thankful in this moment.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Sometimes you think you're doing the right thing and you
think you're gonna get all this prey or the gods
are going to smile on you and you're granted great,
you know, karma for the rest of your life.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
They don't care. I have nice things before and thanks Steve.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
You said that, you said he had a moral obligation
to keep it or send it back.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Tom Square kept it because he was like, you know,
I guess I'm throw it in the mail one day
or whatever. The kid ended up waiting him, waiting on
him at a table. Did he actually send it back
to the guy?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
It's a comedy bit, stah, Sam, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
It.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Like if he kept it, then he's not doing him
any favors. It's a true story though, right if you
keep it keeping someone else's.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
But the point is he's like, you don't find it
crazy that I remember your face and I have your
license and now you're waiting on me. And the kid
was like not thankful and didn't care at all, And
was it a trifold wallet or it's altails?

Speaker 2 (22:47):
That same feeling.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
We're at a counter and you don't have to tip
You put a five in the tip jar and they
don't even acknowledge it.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
They don't even.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
Look my hand there and take it back. I'm like, yeah,
you want to take it back. Yeah, at least at
least nod your head and say things. When you do
the right thing. You do want it, and you shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I know that's not the reason to do it, but
you do want to at least get a little satisfaction.
It's not satisfaction. What you want is like the story
you told when you gave that. Well, you want acknowledgment
that you did the right thing, Like if you let
someone cut in front of you in traffic. All I
want is a little wave. When I don't get to wave,
I'm like, when I don't get to wave, I'm like
you son of them? I cut them off again, speed

(23:28):
up to cut them off again. Spot's very spiteful. I
will say this, I have two stories. We'll wrap it
with this, but cominals, right, I have two particular stories
that Mine's not a comedy bit though like Tom Sigar,
But it was not a comedy bit. It's a real story.
But finders keepers is the question again? Some kid ended
up snagging someone else's home run ball from Aaron Judge
last night. Another guy found forty three thousand dollars in

(23:51):
a couch this week and he gave it back.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
There's all sorts of stories. I have two quickies. One.
I was at jfk US at the airport.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
And when I tell you I'm getting in, I'm getting
in a car service. I see some guy get out
of the car I'm getting into. He left his laptop
bag in the back of the car. I actually there's
a car in front of me about to pull away.
I go to the driver.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Wa wa wa wa wa.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Wait up, wait up wait didn't this happen with Lloyd
Christmas and Mary Swanson? Are you just repeating gumb and dumber?
This guy's just stealing movie plots every day. We had
some dumb and dumber references already. Yeah, yes, say it
was water boy. Now he's quoting dumb and dumber SAMs tonight.
I was way off Swinson Sweat, Swappy sweat. He actually
gets it right for a second. Yeah, he's like Swanson Swanson. No,

(24:41):
I can't be up, Sam, No, I would saying I
asked you not. This is a true story. It does
sound like Samsonite. I saw the guy's laptop. I stopped
the car service from pulling away. I'd stopped the guy.
I'm like, yo, guy, you left your like, your MacBook
in the car. Weren't you telling him to pull up?
And he said no, it's a card again with thanks. No,

(25:03):
he didn't even say thank you. He goes, oh, that
is you were paying it forward. Paying it forward is
when you do a favorite.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
For That's how you keep people's uh, the hope of society,
for society intact.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
That's karma and God or whoever you believe, or saying
you should have kept it, dude, I'm not going to
keep his MacBook. I'm just saying I saw Carl pulling away.
I'm thinking this guy would have went on his business
trip and like, where's my MacBook? What I had to
call Uber, you know, lift locate his laptop, get it chipped.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
I saved this guy a hell of a hassle.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Remember the time Dave Coolier left his iPad in the
bathroom and we had to track him down and be like, yo, dude,
we got your iPad. True story. Swear to God, Dave Koway,
I think you just wanted to name drop uncle Joey.
It's true, though, Remember we had to cut back. He
lost his iPad in the bathroom, a serious exam and
it was Dave Kolier's what was he doing with?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I called him up.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I was like, hey, Dave's me.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
It out. I was like, blow me down. Cool, Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well less quickie. Then we'll get the damn vine for
an update. But along the lines of find there's keepers
you would think, I was, Sam, you made a great
point as much as I, you know, busted your chops
about the cigar story. Well, I just want to know
if he actually did ever return it. But the reality
is a lot of times, Sam, because that's the only
thing that would matter, a lot of.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Times, you're right.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
You do these things because you're like, you hope that
people do the right thing right, Like the whole thing
is like, if you do the right thing, you hope
that one day, godid you leave your wallet somewhere someone
else does the right thing. I found someone's cell phone
at a restaurant. No one claimed that this restaurant was closing.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I took it.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I called the person I found, I went through their
phone and I called a friend of theirs. I answered like, hey,
I found this person's phone, I'd like them to get
it back.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
You know, I know what it's like if you lose
a phone. Do you know the response the game? He
was like, where are you? Can you bring it to me? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Wellcause you guys live out in the Northeast and everyone
this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
This girl's like, I'm on the Upper east Side. Can
you bring it up here? I'm like, how about I
throw it in the river? I'm in town Manhattan. I
held on to it.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
The next day.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
She's like, yeah, like I was gonna get a new
phone anyway, where are you? You can't come up here.
I'm like, I can't come up here? Say that's what
I mean. Sometimes it's like not worth it. I told her.
I'm like, so I left it at wherever I was.
I went into that store and I'm like, I found
the swnge and I told her it's at this store.
I'm not I did more than enough out What do

(27:29):
you do? Finders, keepers, losers, weepers. It is case by case.
That's what we're getting at. And don't expect you know
you're doing it for the wrong reasons. If you expect
some sort of applause. Guy, you know, sometimes you're just
not gonna get that. But I guess the world or
universe knows you did the right thing, and there's some
peace in that. And major props to the guy that

(27:49):
gave back the forty three thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
That's a that's a bigger guy than me. I'm not
sure I would have done that. Let's go to our
pal and yours stand by your for an update, dB.
What's going on manus you had to trade in the NFL?

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Today?

Speaker 8 (27:59):
Is the Dallas Cowboys acquired widers here George Pickens in
a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are getting
a third round pick in twenty twenty six and a
fifth rounder in twenty twenty seven by sending Pickens to Dallas.
Cowboys will also get a sixth rounder in twenty twenty seven.
What does that mean for part of the deal. I
don't think it means anything. You've been all for Rogers.
I think that it's Pittsburgh acquiring DK Metcalf and them

(28:24):
focusing on him being their number one wide receiver and getting.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
A third round pick.

Speaker 8 (28:29):
It may be a longer I'll I'll say this in
connection to it, because this was a deal that was
done after the draft. They're not going to get the
pick until next year. They obviously have their eyes more
on the future. So if Rodgers is only there for
this year, this deal does not help them in twenty
twenty five. Makes sense, but more of a long term

(28:49):
sort of play. But Pickens is only a couple of
years in the league, so he's he's got a lot
of football ahead of him.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
He's good for a thousand type of yard season.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
I think he's got extreme talent, but there's just there've
just been gaps in places that you gotta show up.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's time for our tire RAQT play of the day,
and I'm sure you can guess it. Mister O rated
at it again?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Overrated? Yeah, was that it again? Four seconds to go,
Haliburton for three, three ball up top.

Speaker 7 (29:25):
Indiana by one, one and one, ten seconds to go
inbound Merrill didn't get it off and this rivals the
Milwaukee finish.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
You have got to be kidding. We felt the same way.
You gotta be kidding.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
They were winning that game, didn't Weren't they winning the
game every moment? I think until then Tyre's Haliburton game
winning three Pacers win one twenty one to nineteen. Man,
that is your tireract play of the day for over
forty years, man tyres Haliburton. Then his dad wasn't even
there to see it. He's been helping customer find the
right tires for how, what and where you drive, ship

(30:02):
fast and free back by road hazard protection for free
convenient installation options also available. That's tire rack dot Com,
the way tire buying should be now cove tonight. Speaking
of the NBA, Nick Celtics, Nuggies, Thunder, they're expecting home
teams to step it up tonight. In fact, if you
look on DraftKings anywhere right now, both double digit favorites,

(30:26):
Like they think Boston is coming out strong tonight. So
they are ten and a half point favorites over the
Knicks and okay, see double digit favorites over the Nuggies.
So if you think that game ones were no surprise,
home teams step it up again, I mean, well I
have to at this point. Yeah, And I'm saying like
Vegas is saying, like yo, home teams are going to
dominate tonight, so we'll see. Now, I want to throw

(30:48):
a little fun fact out there that'll make you feel
old I know no one likes that feeling. Is it
really that fun though, I guess it's really it's not
a fun fact. Really we've seen Remember when you were
a kid, it was always wild to you to realize
some of your coaches used to play in the big leagues.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Like I'm a Mets fan, I remember be like, wait,
Davy Johnson was on the Orioles. Wait, Sparky Anderson played baseball.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Because they looked like they were one hundred and five
years old, you can never imagine that they played ball.
I remember even thinking like, wait a minute, Lou Penela
was also a player at one point, Sweet Lou. Yeah.
But when you're a kid, it never dawned on you that,
oh wow, these managers were players when our parents were kids.
And then you started seeing generational guys like oh, Griffy

(31:32):
and Griffy Junior. I don't know if we've ever seen
this in the modern era. If we have police jump in.
When we were a kid, give me one of your
favorite I was gonna say, fat, that's not nice, but
I'll say, give me one of your favorite fat sluggers.
Steve BALBONI, good answer, another one. I'll give you his

(31:56):
initials CF if you're gonna give me the fun fact
that his grandson is also in the big leagues. We
talked about that already. Karate kick he's got Arizonaly. Yeah,
and and but he hit a home run in his
first at bat as a quote pro. That's Prince's son. So, Cecil,

(32:16):
you hijacking my thought.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
We hijacking your thought. I'm going to have told you this.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Cecil, Cecil's son, Cecil and Prince both who ended up
with three hundred and nine home runs. Prince is long
retired now and his son's already doing it on a
professional level. Guess what his son's name is? I forgot
such a young kid. Name is Jaden Jaden fielder Jaden
twenty years old. Well, could possibly be the third generation

(32:44):
slugging fielder. And there's another one. Prince has two big boys.
Oh boy, yeah, so amazing to see that legacy continue
on off the top.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Of your dome. Any others come to mind as.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Far as legacy, well as far as family legacy, Well,
I'm saying Frek Boone was named a hitting coach for
the Texas Rangers, like out of nowhere, apparently like Bruce
Bochi like hit him up, like Hey, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (33:07):
He's like, yeah, I gotta deal on some white walls. Yeah,
call you later.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
And all of a sudden, Brett Boone is now coaching
in the BIGS and dB you saw that story?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, did you hear John Morossi story? What is?

Speaker 8 (33:21):
He was covering the Yankees game and Aaron Boone said, hey, man,
if you hear anything about that Rangers hitting coach, hit
me up, knowing all along that it's going to be
his brother. Oh and then so then when Morosi got
the news, he was like, ah, no, you know anything,
hit me up.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
That's so cool.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, Brett wasn't He ran into somebody somewhere like.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Hey, what are you doing, Bret?

Speaker 1 (33:40):
He's like, you know, just doing the podcast life Brett
being Brett Boone And next thing you know, Bruce Bochi's
on the phone with him, and out of nowhere, he's
the hitting coach of the Rangers.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Because they had to shake things up a little bit.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
The Matthews family in the NFL, I believe they're three generations,
but three three's a lot, right. I get those extended families.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Where are just a bunch of athletes.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
The lighters are still doing it and now their kids
are in the league. So yeah, it's crazy to see
how genetics are passed on in sports.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
No doubt.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
And you wonder is that That's what you ask yourself
the most. Is it nature versus nurture? Is it because
they've had every every like cool? It's boring answer of both.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
It really is. Yes, it really is nature and nurture.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
But but again, generate three generations of fielders, you know,
would be really crazy. If his son ends up with
three hundred and nine home runs in the BIGS, that'd
be the coolest, right, that's spot He's getting ready for
midweek Major This hour the biggest stories in sports and
pop culture, and we're giving away prizes in just a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom? Who Mike?

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Who runs his place? If you could say his words,
repeat his words of wisdom, verbatim verbatim, you could win
a prize. Now, one last follow up to the should kids,
and you know even high school kids? It should you
teach athletes to play angry. It's interesting because this is
a Tom Brady Shador Sanders tie in. I want to

(35:01):
throw in there, but I said that to my son, Yes,
I go, you know, Steve and I talked about you
on the radio.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
You talked about me.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
I said, yeah, how you know when you like essentially
hulk up and you play mad.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Oh, I thought you were gonna tell him that he
was conceived during a crazy night of hotel sex. Yeah,
that's all ties together during the NBA playoffs, I think in.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I think the Bahamas. I think that's the we do.
Is that why his name is kyleik so his middle name?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I was. I was telling my son.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
I go, yeah, you know, Steve and I agree, you know,
there's nothing wrong with playing aggressive, right, you don't mad aggressive?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
And he goes, so when I play.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I run like this, and he just runs so fast
through the house, and I go, yes, nonetheless, dilly dally.
I think every parent could relate to seeing a kid
run down to first base.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Oh, and they're skipping around and.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
You're like, that is the slowest I've ever seen you run.
You run faster through the living room, kid, what are
you doing? So if you want to see that whole
clip Atkovino and rich Now, I said, it ties into
Shador and Tom Brady. How this is how okay to
play angry? Okay okay to play Matt Yes. In fact,
okay to play with a chip on your shoulder. Tom

(36:11):
Brady texted Shador Sudor has a whole can of pringles
on his shoulder, man that he should use his draft
in the slide as motivation. In fact, you should, Yo,
you're in the NFL. You got drafted, Tom Brady said,
I was one ninety nine. In fact, take a listen
to TB.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Twelve Elephant in the room should r Sanders. What happened Tom?
Why did he go so late in the draft. It's
a good question. I was.

Speaker 9 (36:36):
I wouldn't have part of any evaluation process or to
get pass otherwise.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
I know, well, everyone's got every you know.

Speaker 9 (36:43):
That's a problem with media is everyone can just say
whatever they want. I actually texted Shudor because I'm know
him very well. Wow, And I said, dude, like, whatever
happens wherever you go, that's your first day.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Day two matters more than the draft.

Speaker 9 (36:55):
I was one ninety nine. Yeah, so who could speak
on it better than me? Like what that really means?
Use it as motivation. You're gonna get your chances. Go
take advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Hey, speaking of Skip Bayless, what he said was via
at Real Skip Bayless. It's now pretty clear Tom Brady,
who mentored Shador, told the Raiders not to take Shador
duly noted and by the way, that SoundBite was courtesy
of Impulsive the Impulsive podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
It's weird.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
I rather hang out with the fake Skip Ells, not
the real one, right. I will say, I think there's
something to be said about playing with a chip on
your shoulder using it as motivation. In fact, Tom goes
on to talk to in the Impulsive podcast that was
Ja Logan Paul's podcast about how even Aaron Rodgers slid
down the first round. Even sliding in the round, you

(37:46):
think you're gonna get drafted in. Those are great motivators.
You get passed up for something motivators. Early on in
my radio career, Danny g Spot give you know, we
all been there right where, and they called you Richiet
the Bull. When I was in Syracuse. That was one
of my nicknames. How embarrassing, Richie the buzz. Richie I
got passed up.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
I wanted the lad because everybody knew he was full
of bs. That's why. Because I was from New York
and I had my accent was strong, and I sounded
like a guy.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
In the mob or something. So how many times have
you been like, all right, I want that gig. I
thought I was going to get the ten pm like
late night you know, timeslot they gave it to someone else.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
They have the Jay Lenna. He's still richest job too.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
I just remember thinking like, all right, I hate this place,
but I'm gonna work here. I'm gonna end up somewhere
better and tell them all to you know, I say
that all the time, Dude, I think are great, great motivators.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
I don't care what it is.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
I know that feels like negative energy, but if you
could use that as motivation, I think that's great motivation.
I've used that with ex girlfriends, ex wives, ex jobs,
people that told me to kick rocks. I use that
every day as fuel to my fire all the time.
You don't think shador is, I say absolutely. And dude,
if that's how Tom Brady became Tom Brady, that's great.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Wis.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
There's a famous eighties rap song about this from Bismarcky
called Vapors Make people catch the vapors.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Let me tell you thattch the vapors. Danny, I've always
said that. You've never said that. I've always seen Knew
the Vapors, bro bis Mark the late Great you only
knew him from just a friend and part of Yo
Gabba Gabba Catch the Vapors Don't Spring Again, which I
had never heard that song, and I liked that boy
Knows is Spring Again. That's not rules, but I think

(39:35):
it's okay to use motivation. I think we've all been
passed up for something, you know, maybe a girl, dumb shit.
Maybe something happens where you get motivated, and there's nothing
wrong with that. So the way Tom Brady always seems
to play, you know, played with a chip on his shoulder,
I think it's good. Shador could come out and be like.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yo, you think I'm a fifth round there, I'll show
you what a fifth round there looks like. That's great.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
In fact, sometimes I'd rather that than be the the
first pick. You could only let people down use it
as motivation. I sort of like where the shad Or
Sanders story is going to go, because I think it'll
be fun to watch him now compete.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Tom Brady said, look, he'll have his chance.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
He'll definitly have his chance, and that day one chance
is way more important than where he ended up in
the draft. No, getting very cool to hear that, and
we got to get into the words of wisdom. Mike's
Wednesday words Mike, who runs this place?

Speaker 2 (40:32):

I just said it was short.

Speaker 10 (41:41):

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Your favorite anniversaries?

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Yeah, No, that says nothing to my wife or me,
or a birthday or work. This is the anniversary of
the greatest home run in the twenty first century in
Major League Baseball. Hello, looking for his first hit of
the year, drives one deep la field.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
That goes up to back near the walls. It has
done it impossible. What's happened? Now?

Speaker 1 (43:33):
They leaned into the campiness and cheesiness of the moment, right,
so great?

Speaker 2 (43:37):
That's yeah, that's part of the fun. But even like
that Cohen, that's why you know the best.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Do you really think he got caught up in the
in the hilarity and excitement or he did that on purpose?
Caught up because Bartolo Bartola Cologne has said that his
productive years. You know, he always thinks of himself as
a Cleveland, Indian. He thinks of himself on many teams,
but he said the New York based for some reason. Yeah,
the Mets embraced him as almost like a mascott with

(44:04):
an the Yankees. Remember he did play with the Yankees.
But there was something very mascottish about Bartolo because.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
He was a bigger dude, but yet so good robbery arm.
He still had it, he still had some junk, and.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
He was at the he was at the later part
of his career where he was almost in on the
joke like, yeah, I'm a big guy, but I'm good.
So when he hit that solo home run, I think
every Met fan felt like Gary Cohen on that call.
And that was nine years ago today and happy impossible happened.
So happy anniversary to one of the greats. Well, I

(44:35):
have a question, but the great personalities in baseball part
he was one of the greats. And you mentioned that
he identified as an Indian. Yeah, you know, that's how
I look back too. I remember a young, slender, more
slender in shape Manny Ramirez as an Indian and Bartolo Cologne.
But by the time he hit the home run, he'd

(44:55):
been around a long time. Ye who were some of
the greatest old guys to ever do it? Because there's
another story about an old guy, and that old guy
is Justin Verlander. I don't hate this story, even though
I say old on the When I say old, yeah,
you mean on the field, but a young man in life.
He's forty two years old. But that's pretty that's way
up there in today's game for a picture. Yes, I
mean he's no necro or Nolan Ryan or anything. But

(45:17):
you know Charlie Huff who was eighty five years old
when he was playing with the Rangers, or.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Don't they talk about like Satchel Page. Wasn't he like
a like?

Speaker 1 (45:24):
He was like old timers age when he was playing
still in the Bigs. But I think when you look
at what Verlander's doing, I don't even get mad, cause
you know, you would think as a Mets fan, I
would I would not like it because they Mets paid
him all that money and nothing really happens.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
I always root for the old guy.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
And if the old guy in sports, I know, forty
two is such an old guy, I.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Think it's a great story.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
And if Verlander's the eras in the twos and he
found his his last four starts, last four starts two
point seven two seven.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Year old era.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
So props to Justin Ver laughs to him, because there's
a part of you that has to root for the
older guy, even if not on your team or not
necessarily your guy. Like there's a party, he was like,
oh yeah, makes you feel like you could still do it.
So props to him, and of course Bartolo clone who
did that in his older age.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
And if there's any.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Other older guys the greatest ever do it older guys
that come to mind, aside from the classic George Forman moments.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I mean, I know he's physical.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
I know he's fifty one now, but as of a
couple of years ago, Bartolo was still pitching I believe
in like Dominican leagues for fun once in a while,
and he was still in his late forties.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
He was still throwing strikes.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
He's just one of those guys. Yeah, so hey, Bartolo,
you the man. But let's get our contestant. Danny G's
got all the lines lit up.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Yeah, I was answering all these lines. You guys had
to have brought Lebron into the conversation right twenty eight
five and five, I mean.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
For his age. I'll bring it up by saying this.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Of course he took the team deep this year, right
and it was a crazy season.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Not deep enough.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
But did you see how ratings dropped almost forty percent
after the Lakers y.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Yeah there's there's a stack. Yeah there's a stack going
around saying thirty eight percent. I couldn't find the source
on that, but we've seen that floating around on social media.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
But it still goes to.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Show you the old guy still has that star power
for sure, because once the Lakers are out, people aren't
as tooman as they were.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
But not only the star power.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
When Danny talks about how we take for granted, we're
going to look back one day and be mad at
ourselves for not giving Lebron James enough credit.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
There's people that are gonna hate on him regardless. But
everyone loves to glorify Michael Jordan rightfully. So you know,
the goat Michael Jordan. Six NBA titles, you know, Sneakers,
Air Jordan, everything, right, space jam. The world loved Michael
Jordan be like Mike Gatorade, but by the time he

(47:47):
played for the Wizards, that was like Lebron like five
years ago. We make it seem like Michael Jordan came
out of retirement when he was like fifty.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Michael Jordan played for the Wizards in his thirties. Yeah,
and there were no expectations for Michael Jordan and to win.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
But again it's also a different time. At the end
of his career, conditioning wasn't what it is.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
But we can't hold now, we can't hold Lebron James
to an absurd standard for what he's doing at forty,
when Michael Jordan looked like ass in his thirties. True,
what are we doing with that? I'm older and older forty? Yeah,
so I think we stalled enough.

Speaker 4 (48:20):
Maybe people. Yeah, I got a little little confused. I
got the contestants here. Let's start with John in Montana.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
I don't even have to go fast because they've almost
given you too much time.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
So what I got to do with all the five
pressure ten minutes? I haven't got a couple of stories.
You hear the horns?

Speaker 4 (50:57):
That means you have made it to the middle of
the week before we hand things over to the number
one in only Hills to the segment, we'd like to
roll the two Big Red Love Dice over there in
the main studio.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
I just rolled seven May seven out, seven out, Yeah, buddy.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Right now, time for a ritual getting ready for our
show's convention in Vegas or what rituals? Almost all? What'd
you get over there?

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Nine?

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (51:26):
No?

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Show off? All right?

Speaker 11 (51:29):
That means is a ritual when you click out a
link and it's just be like, hey, guys, that means
Mile Davis gets the first take Davis, ladies and gentlemen,
the most famous person besides Judy Bloom where he just
got back fromhim.

Speaker 10 (51:43):
Scotch points in the jersey spotty boy, it's no longer
my home. It's sad, all right. I'll start with the
serious one. So new footage has emerged in the incident
of the Pittsburgh Pirate fan falling onto the field during
last week's game at P and C Park. There's actual
an angle from behind that shows Kevin Mark what is

(52:04):
his name, jumping up in excitement just like you thought,
and the momentum curling him overwards. He lands on his
belly like, his midsection lands on the railing and then
he continues to tumble over. So the twenty year old
former college athletes suffered a broken neck, broken clavicle, and
broken back from the twenty.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
One foot fall.

Speaker 10 (52:23):
He since commented on the incident, saying he's got a
long road to recovery, has thanked everyone for the support
over the last week.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
They raised about fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
I think gonna go fundme.

Speaker 10 (52:32):
Also took his first steps on Monday since the incident,
So yeah, update midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I'm gonna go major because this guy could have very
well died.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
And this has happened at ballparks before, the tragedies that
have happened in NHL arenas baseball stadiums. You know, a
puck hit someone, someone falls out of the stands, Yo,
he landsed on his neck, broke his neck, and you know,
it could have been tragic. The fact that he took
his first steps, Yeah, get him in tragic. It was

(53:02):
he turning into Trump or what's going on.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Because he kicks into it. That's not true. I said
it could have been tragic, could have been, could have been.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
No, it was the most the most tragic I've ever seen.
So I think it could have been very tragic, but
it was. It ended up being a story where the
guy's walking again at the end. All right, Well, I
actually agree Rich Major buddy A hit it again because
I agree it's it's major, and I think there's gonna
be major repercussions, Like how do you prevent this from

(53:35):
happening moving forward? Just like MLB made the adjustments with
the netting around the ballpark.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
I'm gonna have to do something.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
I disagree because all he did when you see it,
it answered the question of did he try to jump?

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Did he fall over? Was he that drunk? What happened?

Speaker 1 (53:49):
When you see this clip, and I totally implore you to.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Check out the clip because it's not a gruesome clip.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
If you see the still image, it looks like he's
trying to climb the fence. It does. But what he
does is he holds onto the bar, the railing, and
he like leaps with his legs, look like the frog,
like a leap frog. He leaped frogs in enjoyment and
in jubilee, and as a result, because he's so drunk,
he falls over. They can't allow that sort of thing
to happen. Ever, again, I'm happy to hear he's all right.

(54:18):
I don't know if he's gonna make a full recovery.
Broken neck. I don't know how smar that is.

Speaker 10 (54:23):
I mean, it's yeah, it's just gonna take time. There's
no I believe there's no paralysis.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
But well, I'm glad to hear that so very major
that we can maybe learn from this horrific mistake. But
I don't think they're going to change anything in ballparks
because the reality.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Is giving out.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Not many people jump, as you said in Jubilee, like
that like you jump in cheer. They're not gonna put
big barricades and balls up because I'm going for foul balls.
Though the people fall from the rafters at ballparks like
multiple times per year.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
It feels like both.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Legs and both knees were like up in the air.
He jumped in such a way where he had no
balance and move forward. I feel like I have a
mild fear of heights.

Speaker 10 (54:56):
But anytime I'm in the upper deck like or in
the upper tier nose bleeds of any sort of stadium
or arena, I always like have that nervous sinking feeling
in my stomach, like butterflies in my stomach anytime I
get close to the edge.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
But no, you gonna be like that fat woman that
fell on Reggie Jackson and naked gun.

Speaker 10 (55:12):
Yes, I would also the angle. The angle is so
you feel like it's so easy to fall.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Major news for the Pirates as an organization as well,
you know, because they would not want to hear they're
terrible news. Don't worry, Yeah, but still happy. He's all right,
all right, we'll stay. You know what, we'll stick in ballparks.

Speaker 10 (55:32):
So, if you're a Milwaukee Brewers fan and a hot
dog enthusiast, which I know you're hot dog enthusiasts, you're
in luck. So last week, the Milwaukee Brewers officially launched
the Hot Dog Club. I don't know if you've heard
about this. We all know how expensive hot dogs can
be at a game. Well, for the low price of
fifty nine to ninety nine, you're entitled to one free
hot dog for every Milwaukee Brewers regular season home game

(55:54):
as a may second available for purchase at the American
Family Field. So the membership assle clubs with an exclusive
hot dog Trucker hat, hot Dog Club Trucker Hat member
only experiences, and the top dog recognition if you consume
the most hot dogs redeemed. So I think I did
the math correctly. There's that's a potential of sixty eight
hot dogs left in the season.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Well, Rich, as the president of the Weenie Club, how
do you feel about this? I think this is major news.
I think it's a great deal when you think about
Dodger dog and dog. Yeah, not cheap they're not cheap,
so I think sixty bucks. I feel like sixty bucks
is four hot dogs, five hot dogs. So if you
could have unlimited and you get a hat, you get
you got a hat, and you get a hat like

(56:34):
a shape like a stupid hot dog. I bet it's
a great hat. I think it's a hat I would
shaped like a hot dog. I think it's stupid. Honestly,
this is so weak. Hot dog club is like a
fat guy club. That also, I want to say that
it's studies say that you lose thirty minutes of your
life for every hot dog, So I mean, now you're
just like gluttonizing Joey Chestnut relaxed, enjoy the game. All right,

(56:57):
great dog. How was joy chest that still alive of that? Think, well,
he's going to keep it down thirty five years old. Yeah,
I just think one hot dog is enough. All right,
good you guys.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Something to say about that hot dogs talk.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
I'll just get add on to it.

Speaker 8 (57:16):
Some guy went and wanted his hot dog and they
charged him the sale.

Speaker 10 (57:20):
They off I was going to add that on. That's
why the story was in the news. But yeah, now
they have since fixed that error, so now it's actually
just fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Ninety nine for your hot dogs. All right?

Speaker 10 (57:30):
Uh well, we mentioned Tom Brady on Pulsive podcast earlier.
Another thing he mentioned continues to express regret over his
Netflix roast.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
I know it's been about a year.

Speaker 10 (57:39):
It actually happened last May, and appearing on Logan Paul's
and Pulsive podcast, he said that his kids were very
upset over some of the jabs made his expense, which
ruined his overall experience on the roast. He said immediately
following the roast, he was like on cloud nine, really
enjoyed it, but the things flipped the next day when
he talked to his kids. His kids basically said, like
why would you go on stage and let people do that?

(58:01):
Like what was the point of that? So that really
soured the moment for it. He really He's mentioned this
in the past, but even a year later, still regrets it.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
So Midweek or Major, I think it's mid I'll tell
you why. That's okay, We've seen roast before. What did
he think was gonna happen?

Speaker 1 (58:16):
I mean he said, one rule, don't talk about Robert
Kraft's you know massage.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Stuff, right, that was the one rule.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Besides that, did you think people were gonna talk about
your ex wife and the jiu jitsu guy and Bill Belichick,
and you got what you thought you were gonna get.
And again he loved it until you realize sometimes as
a parent, you may not care, but your kids care.
And that's that's where it hurt him, right, I mean, like,
you know how many times have you thought like who cares?

Speaker 5 (58:42):
Then?

Speaker 2 (58:42):
And you're like, mom my daughter does. Right.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
That's why I think it's major. As a parent, I
can relate. It was all fun and games until they
didn't get it. So I don't think Tommy Tommy did
anything wrong at all. Maybe you should have discussed with
his kids ahead of time, but they grew up in
a culture where maybe they don't get it we're bullying's
me and they don't understand the purpose of a roast
and they don't see the fun in it when it's

(59:04):
at their dad's expense. So I just think it's a
generational disconnect, and for that reason I do feel bad
about it.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Almost Dad, why would you stay up there and get
bullied not realizing all that's what people do. I've been
doing for years and we don't get it.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
It's a sign of level at the same time busting
chops like yeah, kid just may not understand.

Speaker 10 (59:22):
In the ongoing Bill Belichick, Jordan Hudson, and Saga Hudson
subtly firing back at haters who are saying she's a
distraction to the legendary NFL coach. So after that awkward interview,
which is just lingering in our minds Hudson, this is
the way she's doing it, and in twenty twenty five,
this means something. She's been reposting or liking a bunch
of comments that support her and Bill, mostly directed against

(59:46):
barstools Dave Portnoy, who leaned into the clips saying that
the interview and moment was very awkward for the coach.
She also reposted to a clip of RG three calling
her a distraction. Kind of her way of just acknowledging
that she's not a distraction, so may not be making
outright comments, but this is the way she's speaking back
Midweek or major sort of over the story.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
I'm gonna say mid because I say that's the story
you shouldn't have brought up. I just think I'm so
over at this point. I have a better question for
everyone in the room. Now, if you don't want to answer.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
You don't have to.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
But what if you found out there was like a
leaked OnlyFans of her and Bill are you watching?

Speaker 10 (01:00:21):
I mean, you take a pre for you to be
thinking about it. I mean I used to go to
what's that rotten dot com? I used to go to
that website?

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
Why not? But if there was like, oh my god,
a leak of Bill Belichick at her, are you clicking
on the link?

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
I mean I often visit Lemon Party.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
You can't say that would no, I wouldn't. Okay, so yeah,
probably not. I would have to say this is a
mid story. It's still a huge story. People love talking
about Belichick. But I want to make it clear that
you know she's angry with Dave Portanoy. I think he
handled it pretty well. He said, I know them. He's
a super fan of Bill Belichick and his legacy. He's

(01:01:00):
one of the biggest Patriots fans. You know, he goes
I know George down personally. He didn't say anything bad,
he just said that, but that moment was ad Look,
you not got to call Charles Barkley said the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
You know, hey, I know them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
It was weird, like he just commented that it was awkward.
So Dave Portnoy is h in a lot of news
this week. Actually, he's got really bad to deal with it. Yeah,
he's got his own things going on. He just said
he thought it was an awkward moment. Yeah, I'll squeezing
one more.

Speaker 10 (01:01:28):
So you know, we all know the dramas surrounding Shadoor
Sanders in the NFL draft, uh slipping all the way
down to one hundred and forty fourth pick. Well, one
fan didn't take it too well and identify identified Georgia
man is suing the NFL for one hundred million dollars
citing emotional distress he was forced to endure while watching
Sanders endure the slide. So he's distressed over watching Shador

(01:01:53):
Sanders bro being distressed.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
This guy gets a way, old guy gets a dollar.
I'm retiring.

Speaker 10 (01:01:58):
Oh he's not going to The fifty five year old,
self professed Colorado football fan filed the suit last week,
claiming NFL owners were colluding with each other not to
draft and saying that they can't get away with it.
They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. It
has to stop. But the man is apparently representing himself,
so you know if he's going to take on the
NFL lawyers.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
I don't think this is going to work out anyway.
Midweak major week, major week and not major.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
It's week. We nothing about it anything other than the week.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
The end the week is Actually I hate the story.
I hate this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Guy, your emotional damage, but you.

Speaker 8 (01:02:31):
Know what I think?

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
It was also interesting as we go to dB for
an update, how often do you hear about a fifth
round draft pick them announcing what.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Number they're going to be wearing. That shows you this
should nor Sanders hype.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
People also would have a top three selling Jersey's draft.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
He's moved up since we reported on that list. He's
now the number one draft pick Jersey. That's crazy. What's
your most prized possession? And I ask you this because
there was a story about my.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Bike, one particular, one particular baseball card by the way
baseball cards popping. Yeah, we haven't seen a boom of
baseball cards like this since the mid eighties. Two things
I made the pee wee reference my bike. That bike
sold for one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in
auction to title together, and I posted a video of
my kids I did that trend last night where you

(01:03:20):
have your kids finished the like the old phrase, and
you could see while my kids are answering, my son's
going through his baseball card.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Book because the back.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
So let's take you back to eighty six, probably your
primo days of collecting, right eighty seven ish? What borts baby?
What would be your prize collection? Your prize card? Because
there was a card so highly coveted that it needed
police escort through Denver.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Yeah, so there was a whole Brinks truck and police
squad and motorcycles and dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
You were protecting a.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Forty million dollar card owned by a Denver attorney, a
private collector in Denver, just to be put on display.
But again, this card so valuable, it was a police
escort and it was the Mickey man Ol Rookie. But
again it was great. So it poses like a lot
of questions, like for fun, can you imagine if you
had anything even remotely as valuable where you need police escort.

(01:04:19):
The most rated thing and valuable thing I have was
Conseco's rated Rookie in eighty six. I often want suppose
the question like when when you have a good card
Is it really worth getting it graded? Or do you
pull what Danny g does and you just buy it
graded from the shop?

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Buy it graad.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
I think if you have it from your childhood, your
only option is to get it graded if you plan
on selling it. Otherwise you might be wasting your money
to grade if you don't plan on selling it. But
what makes this card forty million dollars? For real?

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
It's like perfect mint, that's perfectly mint, and it's graded.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
I you know, hi, it's an.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Official graded card forty million dollars. If you got a
lottery ticket.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
There's some states that make you claim your name and
tell you who you know something you could do an
anonymous Some you could have someone else claim it. There
are state I think California is one of them where
you would actually have to go and be like Dan
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
You know Danny Gradio. They announce it. You have to
announce your name. Would you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Would you hire someone to like escort you with that ticket?
Would you just put in your pocket, like if you
had one hundred million dollars Mega million's ticket? Are you
just putting in your back pocket?

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
And like driving to the lottery station.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
You at least find your neighborhood debo. Yo, guard Maybe
I'm a thousand dollars to guard you for a day.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Yeah for real, Like no, because he's want to cut.
He's gonna want to cut.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Like what would most valuable item nice mo t need
require an escort?

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Like you know, most.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
People have nothing nothing. Honestly, that's a great reminder. None
of us have anything the end. That's it. But uh hey,
hold on your baseball cards. My eighty six Mets baseball
signed by the whole team.
