On the iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good news for the Indiana Pacers. You won last night,
and you prevented the Knicks from having a breath of
hope because they thought, you know, Nix went last night,
you got a series and you're going back to the garden.
They put a stop to that right away. And I
had a thought about this. Now we all know that

(00:45):
the Indiana Pacers aren't ratings busters. It's not like OKAC. Okay,
see lighting up the numbers for networks. But I think
by looking at past ratings, this might be the lowest
ratings of the twenty first century.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
OKAC.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And at the same time, the basketball to have some
of these smaller market teams competing on this level and
showing the parody of the NBA. But yeah, for ratings purposes,
not so great. What do I care about ratings. I'm
not working for open networks gold Baby Gold. But I

(01:26):
was Sam, I mean, you're a small market, small town
Iowa boy, Iowa boar, small town Sam Javier over there.
We all agree that Indiana and OKAC cannot be what
the NBA wanted, even a little little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
No, But you know what I say to this is,
I don't give an s about the ratings because it's
seven new teams in seven years winning a championship. It's
a there's no dynasties right now. I'm all for teams
winning their first championship or you know, first in a
long time, first ever first.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Most fans are sick of the usual suspects, Yes, absolutely,
and the big market teams ratings would say otherwise because
the Golden State Warriors when they were in it, ratings.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Were high and right.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's what I met when I said good for basketball
bears nothing on me, like the ratings don't matter to me.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'll watch. I'm happy for those fan bases.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Who cares about the network's ratings.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Mancy, do you have a Paul George jersey in your collection?
Because he was a Clipper.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
He was a Clipper.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I have a Paul George.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Like a shirt.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
That's the Jersey.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
The reason I asked he has a Paul Rubens Jersey,
Rich Davis, you can have it.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Use it again.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Paul George comes up because there's a meme flying around
that says it would be fun if the finals was
okay C versus Indy, so we could say both our
small market teams built on Paul George's desire to.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Go to l Ah. I've seen that that it's actually.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Seems built on his back.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
You know, I'm I'm not gonna play guesting games here.
I'll just tell you we don't. We don't need to
beat around the bush.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I looked it up. Worse ratings in the twenty first
century since the year two thousand? Is this for the
okay see Minnesota game?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Because the Knicks games haven't been like that.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
No, I'm saying if the NBA Finals likely will be
okay see, and the people feel one way and do another,
it's like Yankees Dodgers in the World Series.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Everybody rolls their eyes like, whoa Yankees Dodgers?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
You don't say, But then the ratings show that people
tune in exactly the casual fans are watching and everybody's excited.
But the feeling if you take the temperature of the
public's opinion, of course orally yes, only.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I don't know how you take temperatures. How you take
temp you can do the thermal scan on the forehead.
I mean you to ask. I mean there must be
a debate.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Uh Rich's device takes battery.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, most people, when you get the feedback, it's like
boring dods Yankees come on.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And when it comes to the NBA.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Not to compare sports, because it's very different, but it
is cool to see the smaller market teams show that
it doesn't need to be the Lakers or a bigger
market team. We agree to keep out the twenty twenty
Bubble season ratings because that was a different type of
time and ratings were you know, skewed because of what
we were doing and watching. Ple say it doesn't count anyway,

(04:24):
so take away that year. I disagree with those people,
but ahead, no, no, I think it counted equally or
maybe even more. I'm just saying for this, I tho
that in most I was bored as hell for the
I'm saying, for the purpose of this conversation, a regular
year where they weren't you know, you know, people worried
about a pandemic.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Sure since the year two thousand. Give me your I've
been waiting for that, thanks Sam.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Top three worst NBA ratings. Some of them are predictable.
One of them was last year, by the way, Boston
in Dallas, which just shows I don't maybe viewership is
just down, but last year to big market teams last year,
that was your third lowest.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think Monci didn't we bring it up on Doug
Show last hour. It was like Spurs. It was Spurs
versus someone in the early two thousands, so it was
it was sorry, people listening now, they don't listen to
that Bronze first finals. That's why bring it up again.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Here was Lebron's first finals versus the Spurs. It was
a clean sweep Spurs one four. Oh, that was a
bad one. That was six point two million people average watch.
And the one that sort of proves this point that
Indiana versus ok C will probably be low because the
lowest was Giannis and the Bucks Millionwalk and the Phoenix

(05:47):
Suns the Sun.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
I was gonna, yeah, I'm just seen at the list
of the last couple of of.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
You know, finals, that.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Might make sense, you know, by saying this though, you're
also counting out the Knicks, counting at the Timberwolves, and
who's to say. I mean, I agree with that, but
who's to say that the Knicks don't come back to
the Garden and play.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Their hearts out. It's unlikely.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's unlikely that the Timberwolves turn it around tonight, but
it could happen. You also have to say that if
Halliburton plays the way he played last night, triple double,
no turnovers, thirty two points, twelve rebounds, fifteen assists, four steals.
If he has a game like that, Garden or not,
it's over for the Knicks.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Also, those ratings and any rating concerns the big networks
may have don't affect us the real sports fans.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
It affects the casual fans.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
That's why my mom will only watch if it's a
big time matchup.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yep, that's why a Yankees Dodgers is a big ratings
boost because casual fans like, no way, but but the
average fan is like, really, how boring is that?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I was excited about Yankees Dodgers, but I don't think
the series itself was very good.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Let's be honest.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm just saying it sounds predictable, right, So as did you.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Not see Freddy Freeman's Grand Slam? Yeah, that was great.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I'm I'm trying to point to the I was trying
to shed the bias.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Of being in LA. It was not a good series.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
It wasn't because it was almost it was almost a
sweet Have you not watched a documentary on Apple TV?

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Did you not see Fat Joe's performance?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Did you not see Ice Q brancing around Dodger Stadium?
All that is? Five times? Do you get these?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
And I hate comparing sports because again, like I said,
they're all different, but when you have big matchups and
big hype behind the matchups, you're always let down. It's
usually the undercard that that is the fight of the night, right,
So just because these are boring teams doesn't mean it's
not going to be the greatest series we've ever seen.
I know what you're saying to the app. To a
sports fan doesn't matter. But the networks rely on not

(07:53):
just the sports fans. They rely on your your aunt
Sharon to watch the NBA Finals casually. And if you
know Lebron James or Steph car or you know a
big old school superstars in it, they'll watch. But Charon
probably has never even heard of SGA in her life.
She probably thinks it's like a code for her medicareras
some here. But you know what, the show for my

(08:14):
aunt Sharon. The people listening to this would be excited
just to see a great series and the team.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Right the Pacers are a fun team to watch.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
They are that when they locked down on defense and
with that offense, they have their fun team to watch.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
They're a fun team to sort of get annoyed by too,
and butt Head's really fun to watch. So I mean,
sorry not butthead. I was thinking chet Holkrom.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
He's the coolest. The Thunder Thunder, same thing.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
They could lock their defense down and obviously they have
a ton of scoring. And I do think the Thunder
annoy the fans right now because of Shake gilg just Alexander, Like,
there is a side of it that people are not
wanting to.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Watch the touchy fellas because.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
They think he's you know, going for the foul and
not going to score.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, that's very not especially on the big stage right now. Yeah,
and if you watched the game last night, the Knicks
fought hard. I thought they fought hard but just fell
too short. They just lost the game. I thought they
were coming back at one point, and just when you
thought they were coming back, the Pacers shut them down.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
And again they could never get that one big stop
on defense. Exactly couldn't get that stop. They were better
last night. It's the story of Game four in the
Western Conference Finals.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Every time Minnesota, Minnesota show some fight and might come back.
Last night, yeah, but anytime Minnesota had showed any sign
of like ooh, they were within five. You know, again
the butt head chet, you know, found the way to
get a big rebound, or Williams hitded a.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Three, or you know, Anthony Edwards was playing like ass
that day.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
So the Tea.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Wolves also blew them out in the first game back
in Minnesota, so they are capable.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
But blowout winds are hard to gauge.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
That was such a wire to wire win where it's
like Minnesota when they get tested, they seem to not
be able to come out of it.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Do you want these things to extend? Or you sort
of like, uh, I don't know, do you do? I mean,
as any fan, if you don't have a if you're
not a Pacers fan, you won't you don't want to
see another game.

Speaker 7 (10:14):
I do.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
There's a part of me that's like, uh, I don't know.
I want to see, like you want the Timberwolves to
win tonight. See a squirrel or like some woodland creature
get hit on the side of the highway and it's limping.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Like someone can shoot it so much for that.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Someone just hit it, someone just running it out of
its misery? Like what do going back to the man?
Is the mix our show and fight? We're hoping the
world's fight?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Sorry interrupt it. No, it's it's fine. I'm being serious.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Like, for instance, Cove, if you're a Knicks fan, for real,
they were in the game for the Burrier.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
All the games they were in the game. They lost
one one, thirty one twenty one yesterday, but.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
They were they were close to quote em Hammer. Look
at these oys, man.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
I don't like looking at you. Look at me first.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't want to look at me in the eyes
and tell me that if you're a Knicks fan, it's
weird looking you in the eye. You're a hyper Look
at his size nine head, right, yeah, I know his
pupils are all tiny. He got crazy eyes, a tiny pupils.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Drunk.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
I hate you guess no.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
But if you're a Knicks fan, are you pumped about
a Game five of the Garden when you're down three
to one. I'll be the first to tell you I've
been to a playoff game where my team is down
three to one or two to oh, and you're you're
there like.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah, But we tune into time.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
The beauty of sports is we tune in to watch
the unimaginable, unexpected, the miracles, Like if the Knicks were
to come back, that's why we watched, Like, yo, can.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
You believe that?

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Dude?

Speaker 4 (11:33):
And they were down three to one?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Insane.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's not impossible to take one at the Garden, and
it's one game at a time. Look, I hate to
sound cliche, that's just how it is. So again, rare.
It happened in basketball, but we've seen it in baseball.
And they go back to the Garden. I think they
got a shot or do you think it's over eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. I'm not saying a shot
to win it. That would be awesome to see, just

(11:58):
for comeback purposes, they got a shot at the next
game at the Garden. The Knicks are favored by four
and a half at the Garden on Thursday night, and
I think tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Night, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I think they have a better shot than the Timberwolves
tonight at the Thunder, So I think there. I think
there's a deeper fork in this series the Knicks place.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Maybe I'll give you this if the Knicks win tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
What it does, though, I guess you could say, instead
of running over the struggling deer that you hit on
the highway, if you want to keep it going, extend
the life of the series. I guess there's something fun
about all right, Well, then Saturday night we have something
to watch. Saturday night would be Game six in Indiana,

(12:42):
and then you're really locked in because you're like, oh
my god, if they steal this, then game seven's at
the Garden. So that's what you got to get it
as the casual sports fan. So again Rich is saying,
the Timberwolves and the Knicks are on life support. Stick
a forking? Should we stick a forking the plug? Do
we pull the plug? Do you call it today? Or

(13:03):
do you root for a few extra games just to
give us something to watch, something else to root for.
I think the Knicks were playing pretty tough the Pacers
just seem to be a little bit better and they're hitting.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Really big shots.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Dude, Halliburton, we were talking before the game how it
was like almost a perfect game, right, thirty two points,
no turnovers. He was hitting circus shots at the end too,
taking real deep threes in the zone. I'm just thinking
about how my point is he has to play like
that again and again to beat the Knicks. The Knicks

(13:36):
are tough. Well, do you think that he's gonna play
that good all the time. If he does, that's how
legends are made. Then you just gotta uplug the guys like, yeah, wow,
that was amazing. I'm thinking of everything's a matter who
you rooting for and moving forward. I'm thinking of every
angle to try to stay interested. And I got one.
If the Thunder win tonight. And by the way, Halliburton's
papa was there to watch the whole thing. Oh did

(13:59):
he get anyone's face?

Speaker 2 (14:00):
So he's good. He was good. I think he flipped
the bird to Schalla.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
May if the Thunder win tonight, here's advantage East, because
I mean, what did I say? I feel like, okay, Se'
is just gonna murder everyone anyway if they win tonight.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I don't know if I believe that the way the
Pacers are playing, if the Thunder feel the Thunder, if
the Thunder win tonight, they have to sit around for
eight days because Game one of the NBA Finals is
not until next Thursday. So if the Indiana Pacers and
the Knicks battle for seven, you could say, oh, they
get tired out. But that might that might keep those
teams like fresh and like they're head in the right place.

(14:38):
If a young OKC team sits around for eight days
while this other series unfolds, maybe that is advantage East.
I'm just trying to think of a way that this
Finals is exciting. Plus Midweek Major, we do it every Wednesday,
so Wednesday that feels like a Tuesday. So we go
over the biggest stories in sports and pop culture?

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Are they?

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Mid Week and Major? Will discuss all right? Now, can
we talk about Miles Garrett?

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Please, because Miles Garrett. This is a story that Danny
g and I. Oh, by the way, I had one
last thing because I have my little notes here. I
don't know what sort of scribble scrabble you got going on,
but I take notes. Rich's playing Hangman and Tic tac
toe and doodling doodle boy. I did want to point
out that everybody's everybody's raving about Halliburton, and jeez, Luise,

(15:23):
he's playing big for real, so I can't take that
away from him. But Sam's also playing really great. He
even had the postgame interview last night, said lots of
great things, and he's in a really great space. I
think his performance gets lost with Halliburton just playing so light.
So out, what are you writing down over there? What
are you about to pass the Danny? Let me see
that note. Ps, I'm horny. S give it back. I

(15:46):
want to shout out with the class. Yeah, give it back, man.
That was for the Revolting Blob, not for Danny. So anyway,
it's Cavino and Rich, Thank you guys for hanging out
with us. Siakam Halliburton. These guys are knee Smith. They're
looking unstoppable right now. But I think the Knicks could
win one more game at the Garden. Give the hometown

(16:07):
fans something to cheer about. Give Shalla what do we
call him, Shamalama ding Dong Timothy shallow May something to
cheer about.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
And then again, it gives you something to watch Saturday night.
It gives you that hope maybe they'll force a game seven.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
And a side note, I don't know if you saw it,
but Timothy Shallow May went on record. I think he
did an interview on series XM or other stomping grounds
where we play music. It was an interview on Series XM,
I believe, where he said that he would do his
next biopick if he could as Ernie Johnson, and they

(16:41):
had a run in at the game and he says
to him, Ernie, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do a
biopick of you, man, and he goes to shame shallow May,
you do you made me the coolest grandpa that ever was,
and they embraced and had a moment. Really cool to
see the total side story. But regardless of the markets.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
And Ben Stiller's standing next to that as the whole time,
what about me?

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
No one cares about Ben Stiller. But I think, aside
from the markets, I don't think you need big markets
to have a nice battle in the NBA finals, Oh
no doubt. I was just talking about the general ratings
for like the casual person, no man, But like I said,
I hate comparing sports. But it's like sometimes the headlining
fight is the weakest fight of the night, and it's

(17:26):
the undercard that really delivers, no doubt. So it's all
about the matchups and we'll see what happens now, Miles Garrett, Danny.
From the minute I saw the story, I was like, yeah,
everyone's gonna see it my way, and of course we
start talking about this before the show and the way
of the Danny and I completely disagree. Yeah, you're wrong
on this, Miles Garrett. You know one of the best

(17:48):
players in the NFL. Wrong is Rich's middle name, Miles Garrett.
You know the guy who is currently in Japan hanging
out with his new girlfriend and he decided to not
go to a voluntary By the way, we emphasize that
word voluntary. Is it weird that when you see Miles Garrett,

(18:10):
I always think of Missus Garrett.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Voluntary but not voluntary. The coaches and owners want you there, ah, yes.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
No, yeah, yeah, sorry.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
People may have missed what you said because my Missus
Garrett joke really slayed, so you might want to repeat that.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Everyone was in the car was slapping their knee, like
did he say, missus gart Man? I think of missus
Garrett too.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Bro, let's stop the Reddest show for a nineteen eighties joke, right.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
So I actually backed Danny up.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
It may be voluntary, but yeah, I think it's understood
that you got to be there if you're a leader.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
If you're if you're a veteran, and you're getting paid
the most. In fact, what was Garrett's new contract from
the Browns?

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Rich? Do you remember?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I think it was one beating clo that's a good yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
I mean I maybe somebody passed them, but at the
time it was the largest contract for a defender.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
But I look at it this way, one hundred million dollars.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
I'm pretty certain that we live in a world now
where there is a complete emphasis on work life balance
more than ever, not just you at your workplace like
athletes and celebrities. Just everybody's excused to be lazy. Bro,
is because work ethics down the drain. So you're trying
to justify it, like I choose life. No, you're choosing
to be a jerk. That's what you're choosing. No, I

(19:34):
mean you're choosing I choose life. No, it's because you
chose to be an underachiever and you don't like your job.
And that's why I feel like people really crutch on
that as a reason for really putting in less rich.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
He had months, all this quiet, he had us to
travel by the way, he had months off to go
do this.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Keep in mind, I was the guy that did not
have a problem with Aaron Rodgers chilling in Egypt last year,
because when you're a veteran and you've been there, done that,
you're not a rookie.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
If they said, hey, we're doing some.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Voluntary exercise at work, guess who doesn't show up? Colin
cowhard You know why, because he's like, I'm Colin Cowherd.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yeah, and you and other people don't really appreciate that.
And look at looking back at Aaron Rodgers, maybe he
should have showed up to get some rapport with his
new teammates. That we're the that's the thing, the revolving door.
Its new players, new coaches on the team every year, right,
so you're there to build chemistry and camaraderie. If you say, okay,

(20:29):
he's always going to be ready to go. He's one
of those players always in shape. It's not about him
needing to go to be in shape. Okay, I understand that,
and I'm with you on that, But to go and
be a leader this argument, rich of yours, I don't
get it because if our boss, Scott Shapiro said, Rich Davis,
I'm going to give you record breaking money for a broadcaster.
Oh keep coming, And now I'm going to do a

(20:51):
walkthrough for the show you're on with the new people
involved and people that used to be on the show.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
We're all going to do a walk through. I would
like you to be there.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
If you have other things that are more important, maybe,
but i'd like you to be there.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
I think you would be there.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Ah, Danny when you put it that way, But how
about this, What if it happens to be the same
day as my kids' school play?

Speaker 2 (21:11):
To Miles Garrett, this.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Is not Yeah he was chopping for houses in the
Anime Awards show, that's different.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
But the Anime Award Show clearly means something to the
woman he's dating and happy relationship.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
That's not a college graduation like Alex Korra.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
It's not nothing rhymes with a relationship.

Speaker 8 (21:30):
Bro.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Yeah, Rich, I get the work life balance and I'm
all for that, But if you're a leader on your team,
you need to be there.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I agree, And I learned this lesson at eight years old,
so I completely disagree with whatever Rich is about to say.
Then don't call it voluntary, call it a mandatory meeting.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
How about you don't call it volunteer here it's not okay,
But I call that eight years old, I was playing
little kids soccer the Union Soccer League Union, New Jersey,
and all the little kids show up for practice and
getting ready for our first game. And I remember the
coach saying this, and it rubbed me the wrong way
at eight. So if you expect me to feel any
different at forty eight, you're not gonna get it. Because

(22:12):
I remember the coach saying, yeah, we have this other
kid on the team. I'm like, well, where is he at?
His name is Anthony. I'm like, okay, where is he?
He's not gonna come to practice. Let's just say he's
very good. He was like, what, so he's better than us?
And he showed up to the games, and you know what,
Yeah the kid was really good, and yeah we won

(22:33):
the championship, and yeah we probably won every time that
kid was on the field. But you know what, we
nobody bonded with that kid nobody at all, and nobody
liked him, and honestly, it ruined the team chemistry because
everyone's like, what does this guy think he's better than us?
It's like the guy that backs in at his parking
spot thinks he's better than you. What does Miles Garrett
think he's better than you? Because he's getting paid more,

(22:55):
he's part of the team. I just don't get it.
I'm on team Danny G when it comes to them now.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
And we're also.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Assuming everybody knows the story, they're not going to badmouth
the guy. Dude, I'm badmouthing my teammate forty years later.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, And part of this rich is because of the
union's agreement with how many days out of the year
the players are needed there to practice. Right nowadays, players
work out on their own. If he was doing that,
if he was off in another state, like you know,
some of these guys have private trainers and companies that
do this for them. If he was doing that, I
get it. But he's not.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
He's at an anime award show.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
And this is when.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Other people start looking at you like you don't have
that same hunger that you used to have. This is
where the cracks start seeping into the armor, Like, what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Man?

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Why is he not here? He used to be here
all the time. And it's not a good look when
you are being paid what you're being paid now. The
backstory is this the newest sports power couple may have
launched at an event this weekend because Miles Garrett and
his new girlfriend Chloe Kim are the new power couple

(24:03):
and they were getting cozy at the Anime Awards. And
in a related story, Miles Garrett was posting on social
media that, Hey, Tokyo, Japan, I'm trying to buy a
place here asap. Hit me up if you know someone.
I have nothing against. Miles Garrett seems like a swell fella.
He's a stellar athlete, very handsome, happy for his new relationship.

(24:23):
Everybody's entitled to be happy in their relationship and happiness
is a major factor. But he's also getting paid lots
of money. He's also part of a team, and when
he starts separating himself from the team, that's a me thing,
and me things don't really vibe with the team game
Alla Aaron Rodgers, and he's still getting backlash even though
he's not even a Steeler yet, so I don't think

(24:47):
somebody you brought up other radio personalities. I worked with
a lot of people who thought who they were and
they didn't show up to the company Christmas parties.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm not a fan of that. I hope to never
be that guy.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Rich and you say that you know these are the
luxuries that that being a veteran buys you. I think
that's that shows that you're not as focused and committed
as you used to be. It's all the things that
got you to that point. Now all of a sudden,
you abandon those things because you got paid. I look
at what makes you the best well rounded person, will

(25:19):
have you deliver the highest quality product on the field.
I look at this, Garret's still gonna be great. I'm
not a happy Miles Garrett is a better Miles Garrett.
I look at it like if you they said don't
go to your award show with your girlfriend, you better
be here, you clown. Then all of a sudden, Miles,
Miles Garrett's already starting the season being like, you know,

(25:40):
these sons of your they want me. I'm trying to
re establish my relationship. I met a woman. I love
this life after football that relationship is not paying him
that sweet salaries meet it At this stage, there's only.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
So much money you need. Life takes precedent.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Then take a pay cut if you're not gonna be
showing up. And that's nothing this you could insert any name.
This isn't targeting Miles Garrett. He's a great player, he's
a great guy. Has nothing to do with that. Has
he ever not seared anybody? Has Miles Garrett ever? Yeah,
but you're a leader, and you're a veteran, and you're
not there. This is a team game, This isn't an
individual sport. So I guess you could say the problem

(26:16):
does lie in in what it's called a voluntary practice.
But I think as a leader, it's almost understood and
implied that you should be there.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Hey, Manzi Sunday at six am.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Uh, there's gonna be a voluntary Fox Sports Radio little
instructional breakfast, voluntary Sunday morning, six am.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
You're gonna go. It's voluntary. It's you know, no, I
have work. I can't go voluntary. Hey Comino, would you
go to something that was voluntary?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
But I also would never defend something I wouldn't do,
and I would show up if I was getting paid
like that and I was the leader in the clubhouse
or locker room or whatever sport we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Up, Can I just say that whenever Miles Garrett goes
to practice or goes there's two things on his checklist.
Sacked the quarterback and stop the running back. And it's
different for a quarterback. You're learning a playbook, you have
new guys to throw to, you have an offense to learn.
Being a defender, a defender like him, and just being
an edge rusher. Your job has literally just sacked the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And you make money to question Miles Garrett in any
way as well, because no one's ever questioned his intensity
on the field. He's one of the best players of
this generation. And I know it's not just about the contract.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
He literally said I don't want to be on this
team anymore, and he wrote a letter about it.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Right, but then money.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Exactly, And that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
So you got all that fat money in your account,
now show up for the team. Whether it's involuntary voluntary,
who cares. You're one of the leaders, You're one of
the highest paid players in the world, and.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
They have a short shelf life. I mean, the guy's
gonna be retired in and.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
It's like every single day of the year he's had
months off to go do his personal.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
But that wasn't when the Anime Awards were Danny, they
were now. And if that's what he wants to do
with his girlfriend, listen. I learned a lot of lessons
over the last five years, and one of those big
lessons has to be that you could love your job,
then I'll love you. It might be a little different
your Fox Sports Radio. We have a great relationship with
our bosses, but that I mean, who knows if those

(28:17):
bosses will be here in five, ten, twenty years, I hope.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
So listen, I'm tweeting that out. Rich David says, bosses
five years left.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
So look at this, look at it this way. You
choose work over personal? Well does work always choose you?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
You said? The NFL cuts players, They pay him in
a ridiculous amount of money. Doesn't matter. He earned that money.
He earned that money.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
You break you.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
They don't pay him because you're comparing like other people
who were working as an accountant somewhere to what Miles
Garrett does.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
The guy's getting paid, bro, that's a beat.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
If the dude answer, if the dude at the warehouse
chooses to be with his family, Come on, he's not
getting paid with this guy's getting paid. He can't sack
the quarterback. Yeah, but you can't compare it. And people
aren't going to notice these things. Look, what are your thoughts?
This isn't anything personal on Miles Garrett, not for me anyway.
If Miles Garrett, this is a matter of like, how
does it look in your opinion when superstars on the team,

(29:11):
leaders on the team don't show up to these voluntary practices.
The Cleveland Browns should be counting their lucky stars that
this guy decided to stay with this bunk organization.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Let's be real, he didn't have a choice. They refused
to trade him. They flat out said, we will not
trade you. And that's why they gave him that ransom
that they gave him.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
You know, and I never like anyone acting like they're
they're better than anybody. I think that's where you lose people. Honestly,
I think it's screamed so many differents. If you're not
as hungry as you used to be, you're not as
committed as used to be, you're not as cool as
you used to be.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh Crushia.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
What if you asked every single one of his teammates
and they were all like, yo, he's a leader, not
need a bandmouth. The guy that would be I would
also be counterproductive. You think they're pumped about it. You
think the guy that's there busting his ass is pumped
at the other guys aren't there ti Iraq play of
the Day. The Knicks could not get stops when they

(30:08):
needed him in the fourth quarter, and the Pacers slammed
the door shut man Haliburt.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
He got it in topping for three, Toppin'.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Three. Nothing better than Toppins and Indiana a three to
one courtesy of Pacers ready on network. And that your
ty Iraq play Oh the Day, fins. I made a
list of things that all make me feel the way
that Miles Garrett's decision makes me feel. Now again, it's

(30:47):
not personal. Miles Garrett is a great player, but when
he started acting this way, not showing up for voluntary practices,
it shows me they're not as hungry as they used
to be. How about the guy that doesn't go to
the award show to accept his award. I'm here accepting
on behalf of SO and so. Thank you very much. Like,
where's that guy? He's too good for everybody? That's how

(31:09):
I feel. He didn't show up for his own award.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
That guy backs his car in a parking space. Yes,
Sir Anthony Hopkins would rather be resting at home.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
How about the guy that doesn't go to his prom
or doesn't go to the reunion. It's like, oh, well,
you're too cool for everybody. You're too cool to show up,
didn't have a date, they didn't lie. I don't like
that the guy who doesn't show up for his diploma.
Rich always defends that guy. I'm like, dude, that was like,
you're part of the graduating testing. You're not going with
them exactly?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
You're so cool? Are you serious?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yes? And Rich didn't learn his lesson.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
He didn't show up that last day to his radio
job when they threw a party for him, and he
wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Exactly as I also didn't go to my college graduation
because he's work in. That's what I'm saying, dude. Just recently,
my daughter is the wrapping up of the school year. Right,
she got a four point zero and they were given
out award. No thanks, you no, thanks to me, And
she's like, Dad, I'm not going. I'm like, why not.
She's like, no one's going. I'm like, yo, you worked hard,

(32:07):
you're going. You're accepting your accolade. Don't be too cool
to accept your accolade. Don't be cool to go to
your your involuntary your voluntary practice to show that you're
part of the team, team sport man. Don't call it voluntary. Then,
Miles Garrett, go hang out and enjoy life with your
new girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
You're in love.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Athletes, Happy athletes have plenty of time. Life so much
more important. You're in an ota. You're applying regular uh not logics.
For a guy who lives a ridiculous life, it doesn't
matter to me.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Rules don't apply.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I feel like the same rules apply to family and friends,
and those type of things are way more important.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
You live. Target's just the job to them.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
It shouldn't be that way for a guy who's playing
NFL Football's playing a kids game, getting paid millions and
millions of dollars. How do you not see that? To
live one life? And you're right if you're talking about Hank.
It goes back to a story we talked about last week.
When Alex Korra, manager of the Red Sox, sat out
skipped out of game managing the Red Sox because he
wanted to make sure he was there for his daughter's

(33:14):
college graduation and be there for the lunch and the
dinner with the family, because you know why, life is
more important than one voluntary practice. For Miles Garrett to
think any other way is ridiculous. Why call it voluntary
if it's not really voluntary? It shows me that he's nice, hungry,
he's used to. Like I said, I don't want to

(33:35):
keep repeating myself. But was he there previous years?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah? Maybe he dinner plans.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
No, that's what happens when you start getting too big
for your briches.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
No, it happens. That's what happens when this is no
longer your priority. But shouldn't be your priority. Your fasih shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Why are you paying him so much money because you
expect it to be their priority? Now, oh my god,
you're so wrong, dude. If you don't believe me, let's
go to the phone call.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
And he's missed multiple practices.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, eight seven seven ninety sure, I'm sure he's gonna
be real. I'm sure he's gonna be real slow to
the quarterback this year because he went to an anime
convention with the love.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Of his luck.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Well, with that line of thinking, punters and kickers shouldn't
go to these things because hey, all they do is
kick the ball.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Hold on, you know what this causes? Would discord be
the word?

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, because if you remember the Mark Gastino documentary, his
whole his whole responsibility was just, you know, go for
the quarterback right as an ed rusher quarterback quarterback. But
how did his other teammates view him as a selfish player?
They ever vibe the way they were supposed to. It
was all about me. It was all about Mark Gastano,
and they hated him. They didn't like him. Even years later,

(34:38):
they had animosity towards him because all he cared about
was what about what he was doing?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
No, not about what the team.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Was has ever said that about Miles Garrett, But it
could apply the same way if you go on what
Sam was saying before, like he doesn't need to be
there because his his sole purpose is about getting the quarterback,
not about what the team is doing.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
That's that's a great way to rub the team the
wrong way.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Rich.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
There have been team reporters for the Browns that have
said Miles Garrett frequently shows up late.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
They should be lucky, they should really lucky. He plays
for that crap organization.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
So why didn't they just trade them? Yeah, why don't
they just trade them?

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Well, I think you know the answer to that.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Because they want him stopping you can't talk. I understand.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
No, I understand they want him, But that doesn't mean
so you're giving all the power to the player that's rich.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
You are, you can get rid of him. You don't
if you own your team, I don't think you would
feel that way, though.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Hey, I have a question. If you're a Browns fan.
First of all, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Secondly, secondly, do you want Miles Garrett on your team?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
The answer is, oh my god. Yes. If the answer
was no, you would have requested.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
You would have took his trade request instead of making
him like the highest paid defensive player on Earth, because
he brings it when Sunday is here, no one puts
in more effort than that guy. The fact that he
wants to go to win anime convention with his girlfriend,
let him be.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Leave Miles Garrett alone. It is It is interesting though
this is from PFT. They say it's well known within
the Browns that Garrett is frequently late to the facility.
He has skipped mandatory team activities. He skipped mandatory ones
rich on multiple occasions, writes Jason Lloyd at the Athletic
dot Com. But it said it's worth pointing out why
is this coming out now after they just signed him

(36:16):
to a record contract.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
And Danny g I just want to make it clear
this guy's living the dream. I have nothing against Miles Garrett.
I said the same thing. We said the same thing
about Aaron Rodgers last year. Got to stay consistent on
how you feel about these things. It's about this particular incident.
Is he a great player? Of course he is. Do
I think this is bad?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Look?

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yes, I do, simple as that. And that's just my
stupid opinion. What's yours? Eight seven seven ninety nine, Ol Fox,
Let's go to Steve in Reno.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
What up?

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Steve?

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Hey, guys, how are.

Speaker 8 (36:46):
You hope you're having a great afternoon?

Speaker 4 (36:48):
You too? Man?

Speaker 2 (36:49):
You hate your name's making a big comeback because of minecraft. Huh.
Steve's at a chicken because of me, not because of you.
What's out?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Buddy?

Speaker 8 (36:57):
So rich. He literally said two minutes ago that Miles
Garrett is giving his all to his team. So there
was another defensive end that got a buttload of money,
not as much as Miles Garrett. He for a hot
minute check my timeline. I believe Max Crosby signed his
deal before Miles Garrett did. Max was like the highest

(37:19):
paid defensive end for all of maybe thirty hours, then
Miles Garrett got his Max Crosby is the first in
the building and the last in the building to leave
every day, and he is the leader of that team,
and he's set in a tone for a team.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
You know what that you know what?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
My favorite dush and Ei Twains song is Steve. That
don't impress me much.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Really, I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
You are a losing team and they're not going to
win more because he's by the last guy in the
Miles Garrett. His contract is it's a four year deal.
He doesn't have plenty of life to live.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
Rich.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
How do you.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Turn around a losing record? Rich by not caring and
having leaders that don't show up because just by saying
by throwing a team off, by off this topic, by saying,
well they don't matter, they lose. Okay, we could say
that for a lot of teams last year. That doesn't
mean you don't want your leaders showing up right now? Yeah,
just I know that we're at all is Miles Garrett?

Speaker 1 (38:17):
You know what a you know what I said when
I argue with my wife and we can't agree. Hey, Danny, hey,
fair enough, Miles Garrett's twenty nine?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Manzie ever get hit with a fair enough? You like
to wait minute?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Hey, he'll be thirty, fair enough when this contract ends,
so he doesn't have plenty of life to live. You're again,
you're comparing like you're you're applying regular life rules to
guys who don't live conventional lives, who live superstar lives.
The same rules don't apply. The least he could do
when he's making what is it again, one hundred and

(38:48):
sixty million dollars forty million per year. The least he
could do is show up and maybe even take it
east if he wants. But he's there. That's the least
he could do. So the end, am I man at him?

Speaker 6 (39:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Am I losing sleep over it? Not a wink, but
that's how I feel about it. I have a question,
what if we let's say it was Max Crosby and
cinemles Ga let's just change the player and Max Crosby
missed a voluntary Raiders walk through with the new coachings.
Tell me why because guys anime con beau, Why because
math in the family? Because Max Crosby said, Yeah, it's

(39:24):
my my niece's communion and I want to be there.
It's more, it's important to me, it's my niece. I
think what I think the reason why matters more. Anime
convention holds no weight for me. None anime convention. If
you're going to go to a convention, at least go
to SoCon What what's so?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Coon?

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Look it up?

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Like I can't say it. I'm hanging out with all
the people in the Saw movies. Yeah, anyway, Snoop Dogg.

Speaker 6 (39:58):
Heard it.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
What's up, Adam? You're on C and R. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 6 (40:02):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (40:02):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (40:02):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (40:03):
What's up? Buddy boy?

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (40:05):
This whole conversation reminds me of a famous line from
mad Men. You guys fans of that show, of course.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
In fact, I'm loving John Ham's new show on Apple
TV is so freaking to the finale, Danny g the
finale Friday is gonna be awesome.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
Yeah, right. So there's a scene where Peggy is subordinate
complained about working all night all weekends after getting a raise,
and Jon Ham just looks at it and goes, stop it.
That's what the money's for.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Man, Hey, listen, everyone's gonna have a different opinion on this.
I just think that as life goes on, the one
thing this generation realizes that previous ones didn't, and that's
the importance of family and private time. You're applying regular
life stuff. This guy doesn't live a regular life. What
if he wants to, then, then don't accept one hundred
and twenty three point five million dollars guaranteed This.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Money could take care of his grandkids grandkids. I think
that's what makes it different.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
But because he's so spectacular of an athletic human being,
that disqualifies.

Speaker 6 (41:11):
No.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
You have a different responsibility though. When a company is
paying you that much money, you just do. I'm not
saying fair or foul, but that's how life is. If
our boss came to me and said, I'm now going
to pay you as the top producer in the country,
but I'm I'm expecting a lot of you as a leader.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Now I would have to live up to that.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
That's not when you slight, when you start doing less,
that's weird man. As a Yeah, if you had a
small business and guys start doing less all of a sudden,
that's not going.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
To rub you the wrong way. See what Joey thinks
in Seattle. Hey Joey, what's up buddy?

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yo? What's up?

Speaker 4 (41:45):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (41:45):
Thanks for taking my call. Man, love you guys, problem,
thank you. Hey, let's let's not forget dude.

Speaker 7 (41:50):
This guy said Mason Rudolph dropped the N bomb, and
he didn't.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
He's a scumbag. And what do is you like? Fourteen
year old Japanese girl anime convention? Come on, man, what
does he.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
By the way, anime not my thing? Anything to do
with anime. I'm like, who clicks on?

Speaker 6 (42:08):
That?

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Not my thing? I just I don't get it. But
to him, if.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
That's not true, I saw you slip alex tyshert to
twenty a couple of weeks ago, and I think it
was for some anime.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
By the way, that's just that's a topic of itself
for for a more boring day, because we have a
lot to get to. But Alex Tyshirt, one of the
guys that runs the boards here for the odd couple.
He grows strawberries at his house. And yeah he because
he's you know T shirt guy Carris on a blender foot.
He supported the local farms. I didn't know he cruel.
You know Rich, he gets him from a stand by it.

(42:42):
He grows stuff in his backyard and he gets from
local farms.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
So why don't we spice it up to nine? I
think I'm our.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Only T shirt. I saw Rich give him a twenty.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
I gave him money.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
He goes illicit anime, I got this stuff.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
I get money. Hasn't brought me struwberries that I gave
him with twenty like four months ago.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
Nice, Sure, it was.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
All right.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Uh you know what I'm doing with this. I'm doing
you guys in fact. But you know what we could
do right now? You want to do a little words
of wisdom?

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Oh we have gay.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
This is like the most coveted prize I've seen, like
trash radio prizes over the years. This is the complete opposite.
This stainless steel swiggy is so nice. It's it's like
a glimmery black It's like it's like I don't use mine.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I have it like on display at home. I don't
use it's too nice to use.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Almost you just play a glass with your own name
on it. Yeah, I'm proud of it. You're such an
egos really nice. Yeah, I open I mean, I keep
it in the cabinet. Everyone's try I open it up
and look at it. Do you have a portrait of
yourself in your living room in a speedo?

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (43:39):
So if you want one of these swiggies, the number
is eight seven seven nine nine on Fox, and the
rules are simple. You just have to repeat exactly what
Big Mike says, word for word for vatom.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
It's something we do every Wednesday. It's Big Mike's words
of wisdom. Let's do this. It's time for the guy
that runs this place.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
Just for clarification, guys, Big mic does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. Common
sense is like deodorant. Those who need it the most
never use it.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Oh man, that's an easy one. It's a good, good quote.
Changes lives.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
But that's it.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
If you can't repeat that verbatim, you shouldn't be playing
this game. By the way, I just got word that
Big Mic, who I guess sort of runs this place,
is going to be live in Vegas with us for
our big event. And he said he's going to do
Words of Wisdom live. We're gonna give away a bunch
of prizes solf.

Speaker 5 (44:45):
Now, it's not really gonna make sense sense The live
broadcast is a Friday, Yeah, but we.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Can switch it around for him. He needed more incentive
to visit us in Vegas. In fact, let me say this,
We're doing a live broadcast. We're gonna be there in
Vegas at circa June twenty first, twenty second, twenty third,
I'm sorry, twentieth twenty first, twenty second. And if you
want to know all the details, we talk about it
in depth on over Promised Episode ninety three on Fox
Sports Radio's YouTube page. So if you were on the

(45:13):
fence before the fact that we will be giving away
more swiggies and Mike's gonna be there, jeez, man, big
parties on Friday there, Miles Garrett is not gonna be
there Friday. No, sorry, he won't make it. By the way,
how do you feel like one of your family members.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I can't make it.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I have something and that you don't deem important. Tell
me why that's I think that matters. And by the way,
you're forgetting the major factor here, how much he's getting
paid to be that guy. What if his girlfriend's like Miles,
this means so much to me, And what is he
gonna be like no voluntary Browns need me?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
This would mean so much to me. You know what.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
I was watching Tony Reality on the Dan pat Show
talking about his rules on the scoring system when it
came to around the horn, and he said that he
hated he wouldn't give points. In fact, he'd give negative points.
When people use the word optics, but it really comes
back to that, give me a synonym for optics.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
It's a bad looker. It's just a bad tone. We're
here minus two. I know optics.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
It really is, especially when you're a leader of the team,
if you're nobody from Nowhereville, if you're a special teams guy,
I mean, who cares if you're there or not? But
you're still trying to prove something. I get it, so
you should be there, but it's not going to have
as much of an impact as Miles Garrett. Now we've
argued for a good half hour on this and we
have like a Sam, can you give us a solution here?

Speaker 2 (46:44):
I think it is optics though, ask uh, the.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Orchestraate, the people organizing this anime convention.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
Just move it to rural Ohio.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Yeah, that fixes everything because then he can go and
he can be at Voluntario.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
There you go. I was Sam, you I need you
to come up with a solution. Thank you, buddy.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
All right, So to Ohio.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Hop on eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is
the number if you want to repeat verbatim Mike's Wednesday's
words of Wisdom for a swiggy eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. And remember coming up we have midweek majors,
so we're still going to go over the best stories
in the world of sports and pop culture.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
You want to uh, where do you want to go?
You want to go to Michigan or mississip Uh.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
Michigan was first.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
All right, let's go to Michigan.

Speaker 1 (47:30):

Mike's words of wisdom. Let's go to a pistol Pete

to make you sound very intelligent. Hit the chime, Sam,

Yes, all right, brother, go.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
Common sense is like the odor end.

Speaker 7 (48:03):
Those who need it most don't use it.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
No, No, it's got to be verbailibati.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, all right, Hey, thanks for playing, man, I would
be terrible at this game.

Oh okay, what a fail, Cliff. Oh Cliff, I love you, buddy,
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Hold on.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I love that guy's notes and his bars, but not
his phone calls. His notes got you through. His notes
helped me out. Cliff's notes, Big time, Big Lee and the.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
Sly Stillone movie Cliffhanger.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Today today is the anniversary of that movie. Did you

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Hey, thanks for playing man. That's how you do it.
You know what it's time, Let's do it midweek Major
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
The week where mid Week Major I love that we.

Speaker 6 (50:20):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like the kids say, that's summit.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
We definitely here seeing our scoring Midweek Major I gotta
go fast to get spotty eight full minutes here you
hear the horns. That means you made it to the
middle of the week. Before we hand things over to
the number one and only host of the segment, we
like to roll the two big red love dice over
there in the main studio, A fat seven Chris, Now

(50:49):
time for a rich role.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Wow nine little Skinny nine Though, nice skinny, What does
that mean?

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Skinny nine?

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Man nine? Double talk? Davis getting ready for Vegas. Let's
go all right. That means he gets first take, ladies
and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Skiddy night.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
The most popular.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
Person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Spotty boy, guys, let's stump into.

Speaker 7 (51:14):
This all right, Hi, Indy five hundred took place over
the weekend, and racer Connor Daly revealed he had no
choice to ignore the call of nature that struck him
during the race, So during Monday's victory banquet, Dally, who
actually finished eighth in.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
The race, revealed that a number one was the issue.

Speaker 7 (51:31):
So the race on Sunday was delayed forty five minutes
due to weather and they had to sit in their
car waiting for the weather to change. And he said
he had to go really really bad and obviously they
can't get out, so he said he just peed before
the race began and sat in it. Can I say
that I can right the entire race? So yeah, he
revealed it was the first time he's.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Ever done it.

Speaker 7 (51:50):
Hopefully the last time he's ever done it. But he said,
you know, it's just had to answer the call major.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
Good week of major.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
I think it's major. I mean, how oft they have
to so oh yourself at work?

Speaker 4 (52:02):
I did it right now.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
I mean there was a picture you see saw burn
number one. There was a picture that recently made the
last out of an inning. There was a picture that
was going to clean this up out of an inning,
and he ran right to the dugout and I get it, man,
it's gross. I know it's tricky what we could say
on the radio, so I don't want to misspeak, but listen,
if that's the worst thing you gotta do. Maybe it's

(52:25):
part of the job, right people in it's mid mid
Maybe it's make your mind, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Isn't it?

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Us do that all the time.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
And also Ernie from Uh Yeah Runners do do this
all the time. And find myself I did say, do
do I find myself in these situations? Just in road trips?
So you gotta travel with a peebot, the pea bottle.
You gotta have the pee bow on standby. I call
mine Peebo Bryson, so I have it on standby. But

(52:59):
in the middle of a com petition like this is understandable.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Like you said, people in track meets, it happens. You
don't have time to stop still, time for love, doctor Jones,
no time for bathroom breaks. It's just something that comes
to the territory.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
I guess all right.

Speaker 7 (53:13):
Tom Brady, as you know, has several accolades under his
belt or around his fingers, whatever you want to say.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
But he may have a sight set on one more.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
As you know.

Speaker 7 (53:20):
NFL owners voted last week to allow their players to
compete for the gold medal in flag football in the
twenty twenty eight Olympic Games, taking place right here in
Los Angeles. Well, sources close to Brady Tom Brady have
said that he's looking to step out of retirement for
the games and bring the US for Gold. Brady will
be forty nine at the time this takes place, his

(53:42):
fiftieth birthday taking place just three days after the closing ceremony.
And of course you remember this guy flag football QB
Darryl Doucett. Remember he's the guy that said he's better
than Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, well he's chirping loud but offering
a challenge to Brady.

Speaker 4 (53:58):
He said, you know, he wants the team to win.

Speaker 7 (54:00):
If Brady wants to step in, if he can put
up the numbers, if he's got the skills, He's willing
to step aside and let Brady lead the team of Gold.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
So we'll see who knows major.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
It's major because it's Tom Brady, does it. Pardon me, though,
that wonders if the young stallions of the NFL want
to do this. Is it respect or a waste to
have a fifty year old guy doing like what if
what if Lamar Jackson wanted to do it? Or what
if you know, Jady Daniels wanted to do it, like
do we automatically give it to Tom Ready for all

(54:30):
that he has given the NFL.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
I mean, you mentioned.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
These NFL superstars, and I think it's cool that they
all want to represent the country.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
By the way, I think this is major as well,
every major.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Don't skip out on Daryl do Set the third. He's
the guy that built the league, built the team to
this point, right, and now you're gonna look past the guy.
I do think it's a different set of skills that
he possesses.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
As we watch.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
He's not Tom Brady, but he has a different set
of flag football skills that I think, all right, Liam Mason.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
I got a spiny, spishal set.

Speaker 7 (54:59):
Of he's got nunchuck skills flag football skills.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
I think it does. I think there is just a fame.
So I don't think who wants to watch Duncan Ducet
or whatever his name is, Darryl do Set. Who wants
to watch him?

Speaker 1 (55:12):
You want to watch him or Tom Brady. I think
he deserves the opportunity. Let them compete. I do like
that part of the story. You'll let him compete and
made the best man win. But don't be surprised if
it is Darrell do set the third All right, well,
it was.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Only a matter of time.

Speaker 7 (55:24):
I think they're coming for US boxing in UFC may
have some new competition in the landscape. So video has
surfaced this week of humanoid robots. Yes, you heard that,
humanoid robots fighting it out at the China Media Group
World Robots China China Tournament Mecha Fighting Series. Yes, that's
a real thing.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
So.

Speaker 7 (55:43):
According to the CMG, the tournament is the world's first
combat sports event centered around robots. The robots, which were
all created by the company Unitree Robotics, are currently controlled
by humans in real time. I see hear that currently
who knows the robots are capable of straight punches, punches, sidekicks,
aerial spin kicks, and can even get up after being

(56:05):
knocked down. But in the extream, experts say that these
robot battles provide a high pressure, fast paced scenario to
test robotic structure, motion control, and AI decision capabilities. Basically,
they're training these robots to take over society.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
This is major, Danny, have you ever seen the MBA
in the basketball shooting robot that doesn't miss?

Speaker 2 (56:28):
I'm sure they deal with field goal kicking.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Like if there's robots they're talking about Jokic, oh, the
actual robot. If there are robots they could fight, is
that gonna be a big spectacle in the next five years,
Like first Human versus Robot boxing?

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Is Jake Paul gonna fight a robot? You know that?

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Remember I said it yes in my response. I also
think very major in a world where in a world.
Just today, the rumor broke that tia Fimo Lopez was
scheduled to fight Devin Haney in August, but it was
called off before is even announced.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
I'd rather see a robot.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Rather, you know what, Yeah, screw it.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Let these robots fight, I've often said jokingly Rich, I'll
watch bugs fight on National Geographic. I'll watch bums fight
on the corner here on Ventura. I'll watch any fight.
So to think I won't watch two robots fight. I
think that's awesome. The footage looks great and it reminds
me of the BattleBots stuff we used to watch on
G four TV.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
I think it's really cool.

Speaker 7 (57:26):
There was that movie with Hugh Jackman called Real Steel
where he was a former boxer that trained a robot boxer.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
I forgot about it.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Wait, so this could be.

Speaker 7 (57:35):
Honestly, if a boxer gets injured, he could put his
robot in and just like train his robot.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
I think it's cool. Well, like a butterfly stinging like
a bee?

Speaker 1 (57:44):
My favorite robot story since remember Rocky's robot Happy Birthday?

Speaker 6 (57:47):
Paul?

Speaker 3 (57:48):
Well, do you guys remember if Lady and play Vladi
and Paler from BattleBots one that could not be stopped?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (57:55):
I thought that was pretty cool. Is this is that
but stepped up where they're actually boxing? Really cool? All right?

Speaker 7 (58:01):
Well, seems the interest in the Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson
saga has become one man's obsession. Have you guys been
following this? So sports journal journalist Pablo Torri, who hosts
Pablo Tory, finds out you' probably seen him on Around
the Horn, has been focusing all his attention on this
unfolding saga.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
So apparently, Tory has.

Speaker 7 (58:19):
Made public multiple public interest public records requests to UNC's
football program and says that if UNC is unwilling to comply,
will actually sue the University of North Carolina. They haven't
till this Friday to release the information. He also, uh,
they remember that uh Airbnb ring camera video that was
leaked where Belichick was on the porch shirtless. He got

(58:43):
more of that video and has released that video on
the line.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
He is really just going as far as possible.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
This is major. All right, you can take it. Let
let me tell you what.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
I've always enjoyed his like investigative, Like you know, he
investigates fun, quirky sports stories. I think Pablo's a super
talented guy. But you ever watch a crime show where
the detective becomes obsessed with the case and it almost
like there's chain smoking cigarettes in it.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
I can't get enough.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
I think Pablo Torri is almost bordering on like obsessive
now with this stocker, to the point where Jordan Hudson's like, yo,
beat it, dude, like she's responding back.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
I think that would has fuel this latest thing though.

Speaker 7 (59:23):
Yes, but you know said that everything he says is
factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory, and target it.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
But also puble To is getting a hell lot of
clicks and views and listens and all. This probably the
motivation behind it. But but I think it's it's I
think it's really weak. Actually, it is like that detective
though could be in a show where they seem obsessed
with it. That's how this is feeling now. I've always
with the strings on the wall. I've always been a
follower of Pablo Tory and watched what he does on

(59:51):
Around the Horn. I've read his articles. I think this
is way beneath him. This feels like tabloid journal journalism,
something you read from the Inquirer, something you would do. No,
but I mean airbn b footage leaning into that, it
feels like an invasion of privacy to me, even though
I don't know is that public once you step out
of the house. How would you feel if your Airbnb

(01:00:11):
footage was out there?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
I hate that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
You guys have heard of the Papa Rozzi. How about
the Pablo Rozy.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
I'm not afraid of it, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I like Pablo. I just don't like how the lengths they're.

Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
Going Sam play the rim shot on yourself. I'm done,
such a good segment. You had to end it like that, right?

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
Alright?

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Steanky fun

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
Proby sucks
