Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh okay, oh yeah, yeah, that's the okay see, we
thought now it looks like they're gonna win it all,
but who knows now, I'm keeping on my interest. Is
jay Z gonna win his million dollar bet?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Right right?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
He?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Okayc in five?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
He needs a clean sweep now, And you know, a
lot of people around here, a lot of people around everywhere,
thought that it might be a four to five game series.
So could okay, see just dominate from this point on?
And Game three is Wednesday. I feel like the NBA
Finals also very spread out.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I get it, We're finally here, but.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Like you said, the momentum of like, ooh, when's another
game on Wednesday? Wednesday? Yeah, you got your Stanley Cup
Final tonight, game three, but you gotta wait till Wednesday,
your hump night for the NBA to continue and you're
not alone in that feeling. Rich, I'm with you on that.
I imagine any sort of basketball fan, any casual fan,
definitely must feel like, well, they're really dragging this out,

(01:20):
aren't they. It feels that way. So I gotta wait
till Wednesday. There, But I was watching. You were probably
watching while grilling up and enjoying your weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
You probably tuned in here and there.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
It's been a fun battle so far, so all tied
at one, even though okay see seemed to dominate game two.
But here's the thing. You know, who's not watching?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Your boy, Shaquille O'Neill.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Here's my boy. When I was a kid, I wasn't there,
but I'll never You just made me think of this.
He was so popular coming out of l High School
and LSU. I think he was still yeah, he was
still in college. I don't think he was even on
the Magic yet. And I remember he stopped by a
store in my hometown. It was the talk of the

(02:08):
town that Shaquille O'Neill was there, because just larger than life.
How did check end up in Union, New Jersey? Honestly,
I have no idea, but I remember when, oh maybe
he went to that. What is it the bowling Alley
strip club combo that was there? No, it was the
Union marketplace he stopped at, and that no longer exists.
But it was one of those old school marketplace, indoor

(02:30):
marketplace with a million different shops, and Shaquille O'Neill stopped
by it there. It was the talk of the town.
But you know, forever we heard about this legendary guy.
I've been hearing about this kid since I was in
junior high. That's my point, since junior high. Shaquille O'Neill
man larger than life, and he is. He's one of
our heroes. And when you have heroes like Shaquille O'Neill,

(02:51):
guys you grew up admiring, you have expectations or you
have this this thought of them. And what if I
were to tell you that Shaquille O'Neill one of your heroes,
a guy that gets paid a lot of money to
represent the NBA and analyze the NBA and sort of
still be one of the faces of the NBA. What

(03:14):
if I told you that you're watching the finals but
he's not. Yeah, he said that I'm going to be
in the Bahamas of THEO and everybody said to him, well,
there's still TV's in the Bahamas, you could still watch
the Bahamas. And I thought the response was going to be, well,
hey man, when I'm on vacation, I too, now, which

(03:35):
is sometimes understandable if you're not making millions of dollars
to do that. Right, If you're a regular dude and
you're an accountant and the boss is like, hey man,
I was hitting me up, or I expect you to
still be tuned in to the TPS reports coming in,
you could tell that boss respectfully, hey, I'm on vacation.

(03:56):
I'm tuning out. That's what I do on vacation. I
get it. But when you're Shaquille Neil and that's your
job and you're paid nicely to do that job, that's
another story. So Shack's response was something along those lines,
but it was it was, yeah, but you can't watch
the games when you're in the ocean.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
They said, if he if he's on a.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yacht, They said, NBA TV is also on in the Bahamas,
you know, And he said, not in the ocean. Not
in the ocean, And you know, it posted the bigger question,
not for Shaquille and the Neil but for everyone, every
fan when you're on vacation, is watching sports fair game. Yes,
like if you and a wife and you love here,
here's why. I also asking someone to watch a boring

(04:38):
ass like documentary about something you don't care about. You're
asking them to do something that you.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
You like to do.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
So, of course, Well, even when I'm on vacation, I'm
tuned in because that's something I like. It's only I
don't need a vacation from watching fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's only you.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
It's only a limited time of game is on. Meaning
listen if you're if you're in the Bahamas right now,
if you're in a Aruba, Jamaica, or and he plays
a beach boy song is about and you're an NBA fan,
is it really cramping your vacation? If for two hours
and fifteen minutes you're like, we watch game one, two
or three, you're like, here's the thing. I always have

(05:15):
the funny Like my wife and I will go on
vacation and you're walking through the lobby at night. Sometimes
you sit down, you watch a little of a game.
I don't find that to be what I need to
escape from. Well, you think I'm gonna bash on shack.
I'm really not. I'm just setting up the story, although
you could easily say, yeah, but he gets paid millions

(05:36):
and millions and millions and billions of dollars to do this,
so he should be watching. But sometimes even if you
do fun stuff for work, you still need a break
from it. So yeah, basketball is his life, it's his career,
and that would be a dream job for anybody, but
for him, that's still his job. And that's what I'm

(05:57):
sort of explaining.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Now.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
You could say, yeah, but he gets paid a lot,
and I get that too, and I get that side
of the argument. When I started off in radio, Danny
g could attest to this, because I believe he lived
that same life. But in the world of hip hop.
I came into radio in rock radio, strictly rock radio,
and it was going to live concerts five at a

(06:19):
seven days a week, and broadcasting from this venue and
broadcasting from that venue, and every night you're the first
one there. When you work in promotions too, starting out,
you're the first one there, last one to leave. You're
setting up broadcast broadcast booth, You're driving the van there.
It's an all day thing.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
You're hanging banners and then you're taking it all down
and breaking down all the gear after everybody's.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Long engineering equipment.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
You said it, banners have to be everywhere, you have
to make your presence, fell as the local radio station.
And you're thinking, man, but what a great gig for
a young guy starting out who loves to do that stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
When you do that for years and I did.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Concert after concert after concert after concert, the stuff that
was really fun to you and the reason why you
got involved in the first place begins to feel like work.
And I have to tell you, when I stopped living
that side of things, I didn't go to a concert
for a good It felt like ten fifteen years. Maybe
one here and there. Yeah, but I was not going

(07:16):
to concerts because to me, it reminded me of work,
and it felt like work. So what was once fun
felt like work, even though I loved it. Everything that's
fun to someone is work to someone else. Right, So
you have to imagine, no one loves basketball more than Shack,
But watching a game, calling a game, analyzing a game,
having to formulate an opinion on the game, that begins

(07:37):
to feel like work. I mean, it's true. I mean
going to a sporting event or a concert. To some
would be like, how is that ever working? Whoever? I
never got paid millions and millions of dollars? But you
know what, everything that you would think, how could this
even be considered work? I guarantee there's a male adult
film star out there. That's why I got to go
to work today. What's the scene? That's three women? Oh? Man,

(08:01):
this chobs for the birds. Man, I gotta go to work. Yeah,
do wait, what's your job again? Yeah? No, again, it's
a uh an orgy me and the four Chicks. Yeah,
but it's work man. For someone that is work the
same way you might say, wait, you're backstage at the
UH at the Morgan Walling concert. Wait you get you
get to UH? You working backstage on the Eras tour

(08:22):
with Taylor Swift, where every young woman on planet Earth
pays thousands, No to someone that's worked. So to Shaquille O'Neal,
it's perhaps checking out and he can't even want He
doesn't want to give two hours. Right everywhere he goes,
he's Shaquille O'Neal and people want to talk about him
basketball and finals. So hey, maybe in the ocean he

(08:43):
has to go into the middle of the ocean drinking
a click man.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
He might need to escape that.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
The only side to this argument that I see against
Shaq is all right, dude, come on you you're getting
paid millions of dollars to do what people do are
free for fun millions the millions of dollars that you
would think would require him to be tuned in at
all times because people value his opinion that much. That's

(09:11):
the thing. That's the only flip side that he argument.
I know, Dany she feels that way. My flip side, dude,
but you get paid million. My flip side isn't even
about the money. My flip side is how are you
supposed to be interested in the NBA when one of
the ambassadors of the game point so easily it is like, yeah,
I don't even want to watch, Like that's a good point,
Like this is the guy that's supposed to be hyping
you up, Shaquille, O'Neal, Barkley, Ernie, all these guys are

(09:33):
moving to ESPN, right, They're all this is these are
the faces of MBA broadcasts, and I do believe that's
part of his job. Yeah, you want him to be honest,
but as a broadcaster who talks sports. I feel like
it's even art job to hype up what's going on.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I'm not a big hockey fan.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
But yo, Game three tonight just gives you something to
be hyped up about. That's a great point. Have another sport,
like if Shaq is the guy saying, hey, I'm not
even not even watching.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
It, but sort of like puts a damper on But why.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Am I watch?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
And this was your guys' argument at the beginning of
this NBA season when everybody was down on the league
and talking about the ratings being so low, and there
were guys like Chuck coming out, you know, slandering his
favorite sport. Remember, and you said, hey, you're supposed to
be one of the faces of the league.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, you got to be the hype guy.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
If this is the league that's responsible for all that
money and that lifestyle you're living. So there's a bunch
of ways to look at it. We just want to
give you all of them, and if you just joined us.
Shaq said he's not watching the NBA Finals because he's
going to beat Bahamas and he's going to be in
the ocean. I imagine in the water, is what he meant.
On a raft the whole time somewhere on a shot perhaps,

(10:44):
And I don't blame him. I love the Bahamas man,
but your thoughts on that? Do you expect him to
be watching? You know what? I felt this way as
a kid. I felt this way about Derek Jeter. Derek
Jeter as much as I admired him and still do
one of my heroes. They always said the biggest disconnect
between Jeter and a Rod, because there was a lot

(11:07):
of conflict there and drama and competition, is that a
Rod lived for baseball. I mean he went great lengths
to stay competitive, right, He did anything possible to win
to his own detriment. But when he was not playing,
he was a student of the game, like he was
a nerd about it, Like everything was baseball, always watching baseball,

(11:28):
always talking baseball, everything baseball, baseball, baseball, and Jeter sort
of tuned out of baseball when baseball wasn't on. You've
heard him say, you know, I haven't picked up a
bat since I retired. When a Rod is still like
that guy, that's he's still working on a swing, right.
And when I heard that from Jeter, it sort of
rub me a weird way because I'm like, damn. I
imagine that Jeter was just baseball all the time, but

(11:51):
he really wasn't. Well that's the difference between you and I.
Behind the scenes. Yeah, I'm well, you know you're also
living a different life. You have a five year old
in the seven year old. You know, my sole focus
has to do with radio and parenting a teen. But
when you're a parent of a teen, they don't need
your parenting as much as a as five and a
seven year old.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I'll speaking of a Rod. Did you see what A
Rod said the other day?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
You bring up dad life, But it seemed to me
hold on that my hero Jeter didn't seem to watch
and enjoy baseball as much as I did. The fan.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's like he played it. But that's where it ends.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
But that would be like when baseball shifts to the
like NL and it's on TBS, Jeter saying.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Wait, I'm about working, i'mbout watching.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, exactly, paid to watch and paid to be an analyst.
But back in the day, they said that was the
disconnect between those two. So it's like when you hear
the stuff about heroes and people you admire, it's like, huh, really, shak,
You're not watching. You watched this whole season. You're not
watching the NBA finals? Me too at the casual fan
to watch of Shaquille O'Neal. But I think I made

(12:56):
a solid point, like for him. It's worked, though, guys,
and everybody needs a break, even if it's you up.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'll be the judge of that.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh yeah you did. No one's gonna there's no one
out there that's gonna say they love basketball more than Shack.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Get out of my face.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
The guy revolves his whole life around it and built
his whole life around them. No, Shack is an analyst,
former player. How do you feel about current players who say,
once their team's eliminated, it's like too painful to watch?
More understandable, like when there are guys that you see
it in football a lot, Danny g There's guys like, yeah,
I ain't watching the super Bowl. There are guys on
the Ravens and you know, teams that make it to

(13:31):
the AFC Championship, Josh Allen. There were guys that said, yeah,
I just time out watching.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, that I get because the wound is fresh.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know what, though, Danny, what I do respect is
the honesty, even though I'm shocked to hear that because
he's paid to watch these games, or you expect him
to watch it. It's one of those like coming of
age realities. You're like, what shack, you're not watching the finals.
It's like when I met Joe Montana, He's like, I
really don't like the Niners. I was a Steelers fan.
I'm like, what wait, Yeah, you're ruining our childhood feelings

(13:59):
here a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
It Rich and I.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
We've interviewed a lot of athletes along the way, which
is also something you can throw in this conversation. Never
in a time did you think you'd be like, oh,
I have to interview a star. Yeah, which is when
you do things per job, it becomes work. It becomes
old hat. Brett Farve's old hat. It becomes old hat
after a while. But I remember the realization of talking

(14:23):
to certain players and they didn't know all the players
on their own team. That was a big shocker for me.
I'm like, wait a second, I know all the players
on your team. Hat Doie you not know? But it
makes sense when you're in the game and you're worried
about yourself and you're still trying to maintain a career
and stay on the team. A lot of these dudes

(14:44):
are in and out of the league and in and
out of your team. It's hard for some of the
veterans to know some of these young guys all the
time that are in and out. I'll give it that
was a realization. Oh wow, I never thought another one
of your realizations talking about being in it like this
all revolves around Shack saying I'm not watching the NB Finals,
and you'd imagine I'm not watching Why on Earth with
Shaquilla and the all not just tune in, But he's like, no,

(15:05):
I mean, I'm in the ocean. I'm gonna be doing
a backstroke.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I remember we had I'm.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Doing kind of bolls Karen Opener belly flops. We had
someone on our show once and you're gonna fill in
the blank form they go with Scooba sheck, Scooba sheck.
I remember, you're gonna film the blank and you'll remember
we had a rock band on our show, and I'm
trying to remember who it was, but Cavino started shouting
out there track listing, and then again, I don't even

(15:30):
remember that. It was uh Stone Temple Pilots. Actually, yeah,
it was STP, not the name drop, but I was
calling out there, Oh no, no, no, no, dude. It
was Third Eye Blind. It was Stephen Jenkins. I knew
his track listing and he didn't. Yeah, that song came
and then this one. He's like, you remember the order
of my CD?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I don't. Yes, it was that.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I had a similar discussion with STP, which was a
cooler band to drop. But Third Eyeblind who I did
like in college for sure. I mean Semi Trium life
is on every I was like, yeah, nineties mix and
track five was Graduate or I'm just making that up now.
It's been so long, but it probably still is. Spot
give me a fact check Graduate track five, five or six.

(16:11):
And he looked at you and he's like he's like, oh,
I don't even know. I'm like, yeah, man, it was
started with Jumper and Semi Charm Live and he was like, dude,
I don't even know that. Like you're in the band,
how do you not know your track listing. It's one
of those reality checks. Shaq is not watching the finals?
That was right, Graduate track five? Yeah, Boddy wait to

(16:32):
be on that, but yeah, just a reminder, do you
lose respect or do you understand I get it. I
kind of understand. I get it because other things take
over in life. And by the way, I brought up
a Rod before, I said, he's living that dad life
like you, you're not here yet, but I saw a
whole article about a Rod how his daughter. I believe
Vivian's twenty for the record, Cavino here, my daughter is

(16:56):
sixteen in November, so it's a whole different ballgame. He said,
he's at the dad stage of life now, where hanging
out with this kid is by appointment, and he gets
really stoked when she's like, Dad, you wanted me for coffee,
And he's like.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Get all fire it up, Like you get to the.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Stage where your daughter you only hang with there when
it's like an appointment, like Dad, you want to go
meet and he's like yeah, he gets all pumped. Yeah.
Right now I'm at the stage where I'm her personal chauffeur.
So I still see her. You're right, but she you know,
you're living your uber Steve, Yeah, you know, very much,
still a huge part of her life. But they start
doing their own thing, their own friends, their own world,

(17:31):
their own teams and whatever they're involved in. So again,
your thoughts about you're all glued to the finals. You
realize is tied at one, but Shack's not watching.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Boo for Shack. We're just not creating the illusion we
all want.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Right right, right right, So again, you know, it's just
something to think about your thoughts eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. And of course you could hit us
up at Covino and Rich. You know what it's like too. Rich.
One last personal one. I've been playing rock music for
over twenty years on serious extem every night, and there'll
be a big festival or a big concert coming up,

(18:09):
and the fans are so pumped about man, bro, are
you going. They're like, no, I'm not going. How are
you not? But you're the guy, Yeah, you're the dude.
And meanwhile, you know, they're so pumped to even have
an opportunity to buy a ticket and they're like, but wait,
you're not going to be there, and I'm like, nah,
you know, I got a life to live.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I used to feel that way about it. That's really shocked,
just living his life. I used to feel that way about.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
You when we lived in New York and Kavino's the
guy that watches one hundred and sixty two Yankee games,
and I remember there will be times we'd be living
on the East Coast and it'd be like, yeah, you
go on the playoff game. You're like, nah, but you're
the guy that watches this just happens when you're spoiled
Yankee fan, that's all. Yeah, every year is a playoff here.
That's all right. Well, so we got more Cavino and
Rich coming up. We are going to talk about kissing

(18:52):
other grown ups on the lips. As a story about
I'm on Russ Saint Brown. I want to get to
that's pretty funny camp Scataboo rookie running back. There's a
really funny story about him. So a lot of ray
was that cool new dance. Yeah, it's called the Scataboo.
See yeah, well see I was about to say, your
first instinct's usually right, and that's not always the case,

(19:14):
but usually, like I had an instinct, Rich, you had
an instinct. Most of us had an instinct that okayse
was so dominant the whole season that they're probably gonna
have their way. And then you saw Game one, maybe not,
but then you saw a Game two, You're like, that's
that's what I picked.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
The Pacers before the series started. Was that your first instinct?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It was?

Speaker 4 (19:31):
It was just because they were on a roll, and
I feel like they match up. Okay, let me ask you,
yeah enough to win.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
When Monsei, who works here at Fox Sports ready, when
she went around and asked all the employees, like, all right,
give me your prediction. Do most people say what they
think or are they try to pick like a cool,
daring pick like I said, okay, see in six. And
I felt so lame about that because that feels to
me like the obvious answer. No.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
I mean that this wasn't Lakers Celtics. So I don't
think anybody was like, you know, trying to impress her
on the camera. I think people really were picking who
they felt, you know, was gonna win.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Rich just trying to impress her by flexing a little bit.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
By the way, I should mention because Tony and Oregon
called up and he's like, I'm just curious because the
TNT crew signed off, So where did Shaq and Kenny
Smith say this? They were contracted to do pre and
post game for NBA TV, so that's where this conversation
took place.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
And Ernie made it clear that NBA TV is on
in the Bahamas. But Shaq also like, heyah man, I'm
gonna be in the water bro I'm not. I'm not
worried about that right now. And it sounds a little
weird because of Shack and he's supposed to be watching. Well, hey,
sometimes it's okay to be mentally checked out. Now I
have a story and it sort of ties together with
us a few things going on in the world the

(20:47):
sports and entertainment that has to do with just missing
something along the way or just you know, being so
in your zone. That's like not that you got your
head buried in the sand, your own bubble, but sometimes
you're in your own little bubble. Well, you don't know
what else is going on. Now, you said before Kivo,
you grew up in the world of rock radio, if

(21:10):
you grew up in the world of sports, and you're
if you're so in your little zone, sometimes you miss
huge things.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
That are just outside you guessed that your bubble.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Maybe you're so committed and dedicated to what you do
you don't see anything else, you don't care about anything else.
That might be the reason sometimes people don't even know
the current biggest songs in the country because they're so
in a zone of other things or they're laying Yeah,
I get it. I remember one of the moms on

(21:39):
my kids baseball team. We put her in charge of
the kids walk up music one day and she was like,
Danny g wh I'm talking like the biggest songs in
the country that the kids wanted.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
To walk up too. She's like, what's that song? And
I'm like, how do you How do you not know?
That's like your mom, you're living.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, this is like you not knowing about downtown La.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, but I didn't realize downtown La was in disarray
until late last night. We were in a group tax
last night and one of our buddies says, Hey, is
it time to move out of La or what? And
he sent some imagery from the protests and Rich's like, what,
what's going on? Well, because of the high taxes, he says,
high taxes. I was like, what you think, Guys, Like, no,

(22:22):
the protests and the violence that's going on right now
that they're showing on the.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
News well like five years ago Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
So he's like, no, now that you had just missed
it yesterday, you missed it for three whole days, and
Rich's in La. I was on the East Coast flying
and I knew about again what was supposed to be
peaceful protests, and it wasn't as bad as the news
made it out to seem, but still was pretty bad for.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
That portion of the one on one freeway right and
parts of Compton, I guess. But like, there's other parts
of southern California where you could be like Rich and
you didn't even know anything was going on. But for
a lot of people outside of Cali, like a friend
of mine in Nashville, he texted me, are you guys
safe when you're going to be moving out of California? Like, bro,
not all of us are on fire here this as

(23:09):
we had the fires too, Remember, everybody thought all our
houses were on fire.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
How in the world, though, could Rich live three days
in Los Angeles with all these other parents and people
he was dealing with throughout the weekend and literally no
one brought up the protests to Rich at all, not once,
not once on his phone. When he's looking at all
this mindless stupidity on social media, your algorithm must be

(23:34):
that of a little baby boy.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Also makes me feel like you don't watch regular TV
at all.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
I don't really watch TV, but some miss I stream things, right,
I mean, do you watch TV?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
What are you eighty?

Speaker 1 (23:47):
You missed the protests and the city that he lives
in for three days that's.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Called Dodger Baseball. We have Spectrum TV and you have
to turn the channels to get.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
There and that, and that is why I have to
bootleg the mex Dodgers for those three days a year
because I have the MLB app I pay for.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Obviously Rich doesn't do it. But do you other guys
ever feel like you just need to check in with
the news at all like I do. Like I may
not watch the news, the six o'clock news every night
or the eleven o'clock, but if I've gone four days
without watching, like the fifth day, I'll be like, all right,
at least I want to see what the top stories
are or what's going on, Like I feel I need
to check in.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I do. Yeah, Yeah, you nailed it, that's exactly I guess.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
During the week I did that every day, right, prepping
for all the shows and things we do. But on
the weekend I was just live news though now I've
never watching the Yeah, I mean I do exactly what
Dan just did. I'll throw on whatever. Yeah, it's not
just CNN, not just Fox. And I also like the
feeling of something live, like what are they talking about
right now? Right? Absolutely, that's it. I watched. I watched

(24:49):
Pete Alnzo crush the Rocky single handling. I watched I
watched the Mets all weekend. I watch the NBA Finals.
I had a barbecue and a pool party at my.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
House or my kids. I was coaching that you were
pulling the shaquill one. I was coaching game. Hold on,
we're living life.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I was living life.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I was living life.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
I just live in life. So sometimes you miss things
so hard you missed three days of it. That's living
some pretty hard life right there. But meanwhile, he showed
me like three dumb videos that he saw over the weekend.
It's still not as bad as a certain New York giant,
you know, But yeah, you can miss things for a
couple of days. But there's a story I want to
get through next and it has to do with Cam Scataboo.
And I'm also going to tie in another young player

(25:28):
in the NFL JJ McCarthy. I'm going to tie him
into this. It's when you miss something along the way,
like what where's the disconnect. We'll get to that, but
let's go to our buddy Dan Buyer for an update.
dB in no hoops tonight, but they will be skating
in South Florida.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
It's Game three of the Stanley Cup Final between the
Oilers and Panthers. Eight o'clock Eastern Time series tied up
at a game of peace. The Oilers Ryan Nugent Hopkins
considered a game time decision, did take part in the
morning skate for Edmonton. But again Oilers and Panthers tonight
from South Florida in Game three of the Stanley Cup Final.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Tire Rex Play of the Day OKC evens up the
NBA Finals.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
The Oklahomas Any Thunder clap back at the Pacers after
receiving a massive gut punch a game in which they
let throut until they were three tenths of the second
to playing game one of the Halliburton Rainbow Jumper, losing one.

Speaker 8 (26:29):
Eleven, one ten.

Speaker 9 (26:30):
They show that rebounding prowis unbeaten following losses. That remains
intact as the Thunder win Game two Big One twenty
three one oh seven over the Indiana Pacers.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
That is courtesy of WWLS Thunder Radio Network. The finals
moved to Indy on Wednesday. Now we got to wait
till Wednesday. That is a bummer, man. That's a tyrech
play the day if we get of tires? Did anyone
watch any of season two of Tires? Hell? No? On
Netflix with Chane Gillis. I'd have to watch season one.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
You know, Shane Gillis, does he like me?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Because then it'll determine my answer. I'n't asked him. Yeah,
well when do you find out? Let me know? Okay,
fair enough, He's all right, He's all right. Your buddy
John love it. Oh that's the ticket?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is in season or no?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Like Geene Gillis, I like some of his stuff, but
I don't know in personally. So anyway, I hope you
enjoyed the finals this weekend. And I am everyday people.
Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis. Did you appreciate my dude,
Pete Alonzo of given props to your favorite bowler of
all time? I did. He's like, who do you think
you are?

Speaker 3 (27:34):
I am?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
They did the lip reading in the dugout. It was
great pet Alonzo. To think that any team in baseball
could have had him for like nothing. Dude's hitting bombs,
and I mean you, your own team didn't want it,
That's what I'm saying. Then they finally were like, all right,
let's do it Pete. But every other chance in Major
League Baseball had the opportunity. Yeah, because I think every
other team was, like the guys a New York Met,

(27:55):
Why aren't the Mets signing him at any given moment.
You should look at your own team before you point
fingers anybody else. You guys didn't want him. Hey, as clann,
he's on the Mets doing better than everyone else. Yeah,
and you didn't want him. That's the point. I'm just saying,
your Dodgers, your Yankees, your the Yankees. Anybody got Goldschmid
at that point. But what I'm saying is anyone could
have had Pete Alonzo, and to think how good he's playing,

(28:18):
he was just up for gress. You can't be saying
that when everyone was saying it to you about your
every Mets fan wanted him. The Mets just knew that
the market somehow wasn't. But you're calling out every other
team when everyone else was like, how do you guys
not want him? Hey, dummy, the Mets got him. You
mean the number two all time home run hitter for
the New York Mets. About the past, Darryl Strawberry, But yeah,

(28:39):
we knew that rich.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
The Dodgers have this guy named Freddy Freeman at first.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yeah, the Yankees had just sign. You're telling me when
Michael bunk ass Conforto's in your lineup, you could have
made room for Pete Alonzo. You know, Michael Canfordo who
bats one ten.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
You mean.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Your Mets, who had him already and needed a first baseman.
Point the finger yourself. You're the guys that were hesitating
on them, you dumbass. All I'm saying is that everyone
else had the chance. The Mets almost blew it and
somehow recovered, But everyone in the it's like you you
know what it's like.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
It's like dating a girl.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
That's beautiful, she's hot, she's smart, your family lovers, she's
perfect for you, and you almost let her get away.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Luckily somehow, you know.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
You broke up for you broke up for a week,
and she didn't meet anybody new, and you thank God,
we're back together.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
The Mets could have very easily lost. Peter Lonzo.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Search over promised on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page later
on when you're done with your Stanley Cup Final, no diggity,
no doubt, I'm ready for an overtime simply said that
we got three games in a row in the Stanley
Cup Finals overtime something. Because what does every hockey fan
love to say? A all hockey playoffs? Nothing better? Ah,
and they love to say overtime game seventh hockey Say

(29:59):
so sory, that's not true. What's up, Canada? Hopefully your
oilers give you some joy. Uh here's what I want
to get to this hour, kissing other adults on the lips.
There's a story with the amanaa Saint Brown. I know
you love that classic Tom Brady story. So I'm a
dumb thought on that. But Camps Scataboo is in the news.
And when I say news, I mean my dumb algorithm.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
The all scataboo.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
See they just swinging match that band a nikedlay in
my pocket, dear, But do do do do do do do? Do?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
All the kids doing the scabbadoo all scannaboo. So Cam scataboo.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
If you don't want to do scataboo, see why don't
you do to twenty three skadoo Arizona State.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Lovable guy.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
People honestly gravitate towards his energy, his vibe. Dany g
I would I would say a lot of NFL fans
are like, man, if my team could pick this guy
up in a later round, please, because just his vibe
seems like someone you want in the locker room.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah, he's already turning heads at the OTAs.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, everyone's saying, like, yo, he's just one of those guys,
as they say in baseball clubhouse guy, locker room guy
in the NFL, Right, he's one of those guys. A
lot to him in the family to make it to
the Giants too, though, I thought that was cool, But
I thought this is interesting when asked about his division
and now being you know, proud to say he's in

(31:16):
the National Football League, to think that camp's got about
can't name the teams in his divisions. He knows how
to knock your blockoff, he knows how to play football.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Do you know what thing that matters?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
I'm not surprised, is my point, because you already explained
why when you're so focused and your laser focused and
you got blinders on to make it in the NFL,
being a fan in that way and knowing that stuff
isn't always the priority. It's like Anthony Edwards, remember he's
so focused on basketball and being that guy he didn't
even know who A Rod was.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
That was a great one, but he knows who the
other NBA teams are.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
I don't know. I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I'm a sports fan.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
How do you not know a That is an interesting
one because that's when I was part of the group
that was wanting to buy the tlves. And if you remember,
Anthony Edwards is like again, A Rod never heard of him? Yeah, Like,
I'm not I'm not making excuses for it. I'm just
saying we see it often. It happened to me recently.
I built a career in radio. I would debate that

(32:18):
most people don't love radio the way me and ll
cool J love radio. Danny G. I know you do,
But I got into radio not to be the center
of attention because I loved radio, loved it.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
And you were talking about some love line show the
other day, I'm like, I never.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Heard of it.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Oh, Camino never heard of Delilah?

Speaker 8 (32:35):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Never did?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
How did you not know who Delilah? I want to
bring it up because it's part of the iHeart family?
Is it? I don't even know?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
But still it was And I'm like, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I'm not I don't know that. I don't know that. Yeah,
she used to be Premiere Networks. Yeah, I'm like, I
don't know. I never listened to these love line shows?
Was it?

Speaker 3 (32:52):
My thing?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
My point is I'm not proud to not know.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I'm saying that sometimes you're so laser focused on what
you're doing that you're not worried about what people.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
But you guys cared about that show.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Give me a break. I cared about my show. In
my path, you got to ask yourself my influences. Does
that does that mean you're laser focused, Danny? Or does
that mean you're not honed in on the bigger picture?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
The dudes in the NFL? But I think you like
football more than him.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
Okay, but again, Delilah's not your cup of tea. You
knew about all the other rock shows though, Yeah, but
that that seems like common radio knowledge right the way
you guys described it. That's a big time show. So
I admit, like, how did.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I not know that?

Speaker 4 (33:29):
But no, no, what surprises me though it's in his lane,
like you could argue a Rods outside his lane.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
That's basically yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
But he was he was, He wasn't. He wasn't an
NFC guy. He was an AFC guy. Not not to
throw you under the bus, but you also probably couldn't
name our competition right now. Do you know who was
the ESPN lineup?

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Is?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
I know Siddana, we gotta beat that. He's local.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Give me, give me, give me who's the ESPN's.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Like national guys that you would probably say, sting, who
is it?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Clinton Yates? I'll beat his ass, let's go. He's your friend.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I love all those guys, but I'm worried about me
doing my best, but not worried about them. But the
things about you that are camp scataboo, like we were
so focused you don't know, hold on, I'm so focused
that or let's say, let's put it this way. I
was such an al kid growing up when it came
to baseball. I couldn't tell you all the I know
all the NL teams, but I wouldn't know all the

(34:19):
NL divisions because.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
I never watched NL Baseball series.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I never watched it ever.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Never I watched AL baseball my whole life.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Why would I watch NL baseball to watch your boring
ass mets, that boring ass coverage our whole childhood.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
No thanks, So I didn't know anything about the NL
other than.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
You know, any award winning But let's go with the
S network, Ryan Tannehill, if you watched Hard Knocks, which
holds the lamest candle to Gary Cohen every day because
he's the best there is. Yeah, what did he say
to you when you worked at US? In what NBC
Sports Right is gonna get baseball? Gary Cone is gonna
end up being their national broadcast. I'm not defending Scataboo

(35:00):
at all. It's odd. That's why it's a story, and
that's why it's surprising. I'm just trying to explain that
sometimes it happens. Well, sometimes you're so focused on your own,
your own path, that you really are blinders on Ryan Tannehill,
there was a series you might have heard of it,
Hard Knocks. There was a season of Hard Knocks back
of the Day where a Buddy Mauser and Cincinnati just

(35:20):
hit us up. He's a Dolphins fan. He goes Ryan Tannehill,
same thing. To quote him. I'm so lost on divisions.
I only know the teams in my own I couldn't
name the others.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
I hear it in.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Fighting all the time, where you know, you grew up
and you admired all the legends or whatever, and these
young dudes they grow up in a ring, but they
don't give a diddley squat about what this guy did
and who he was. All they're trying to do is
beat that next opponent's ass. And I do understand it.
It's shocking for me to hear as a fan, but
I kind of understand. So again, I want to make

(35:53):
it clear not defending it. I'm just trying to just
sort of explain it your thoughts to use any respect
the guys in the NFL. He loves football more than you.
I don't lose respect. I just find it funny. It
is funny that these are things you don't learn along
the way. I was found it hilarious when they would
always be a player that didn't know the overtime rules,

(36:15):
or every so often you see a wide receiver who
doesn't get hit by contact, but because he goes down,
he thinks the plays over and every five years or
so there's a guy that is a turnover.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, you hear a lot of stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
JJ McCarthy. I know it's not the same, but there
was a clip recently where he was with Justin Jefferson.
It was at the Warriors Wolves game. This is a
little while back in the first round of the playoffs,
and dude never had Mike and Ikes before.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Yeah, they were miked up courtside and he's like, you've
never had Mike and Ikes? Justin Jefferson asked him.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
He's like, no, I find that more odd, to be honest,
but it's just funny what you miss along the way
three for three for five bucks, get some red hots,
some Mike and Ikes and maybe some Swedish fish.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
But what is your admissions, candy? How could you have
never had that?

Speaker 1 (37:01):
Some good and plenty, you never had Mike and Ikes.
That's a true story, by the way. That's another one
we'll throw in there just for fun. JJ McCarthy never
had Mike and Ikes, and jeff Justin Jefferson was like,
you never had Mike and Ikes? Well, what is the
one for you? Let's let's let's admit it. Something you
missed something. I said that we were talking radio and

(37:24):
someone brought up a very popular radio show. I wasn't
trying to undermine or downplay any show, but it was
a popular show. I'm like, I never heard of it.
I didn't grow up in that world of pop radio.
She was a pot on radio, or I didn't listen
to that stuff. But I'm saying I don't. You don't.
It's not about it.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
See that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Some people say, well I don't listen to it or
that's not what I watched. But to just not know it,
like you never heard like the Lilah, Like you never
heard ever in your lefe.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Nope, and you work in radio, you know you know
what I missed along the way here.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
And maybe because I don't watch The Voice, but any
I think he's got like eight of the top ten
songs right now on the Billboard one hundred. Uh oh,
I never Morgan Wallen came from that show The Voice.
Oh yeah, I knew that. I just saw a clip
recently where he's young baby face on that show and
with his mom there with him, and I'm like, I
didn't know.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
He came from that. Guess what, Danny g you just
taught me something because I don't know that I knew that,
and I'm the guy who likes country the least. But
it's that he was discovered on the voice. Yes, yeah,
Waite who turned their chair around Gwen Safani, Well, so
you're telling me that. No, Hey, sometimes you just don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
You just missed something along the way, like and I remember.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Sometimes it's sometimes it's ignorance and stupidity and all that, right,
but sometimes it's like, yo, I was focused on winning
and doing my own thing. And that's where I think
a lot of this comes from, Like the Anthony Edwards
story that we mentioned before that he didn't know a
Rod yet because his life revolved around well, first of all,
he's younger, but his life to revolved around basketball. You know,
it's not like he said Michael Jordan, He's like, I

(38:55):
don't I don't like baseball. I didn't know. I don't know.
What do I know about a Rod? I don't know,
but just from a pop call reference, I was surprised.
You know what a lot of us is.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
It has to do with the laser focus on what
you're doing.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
What would be disappointing to most fans, like not disappointing,
like you should be all bummed about it, but you
would be. You would be. You would be shocked how
little your current players know about your team's history. Like
if you if you asked the current New York Yankees
roster Cavino, if you gave them Yankees trivia, you'd be
so sad at how bad they probably would do, without

(39:29):
a doubt, without a doubt, because you're more of a
fan than they are. But they were a fan of
winning and playing and making it to the bigs. We
had the pleasure of having Mike Tyson on the show.
You can't even ask him about it when he's here,
But we had Mike Tyson on the show several times.
And the very first time we had him on, I
was like, yo, Mike, and he was like, what's up.

(39:49):
And I'm like Mike, He's like, what's up? And I'm like, dude,
I used to play your game, dude, And he's like,
I never played the game. I don't. I couldn't even
tell you anything about the game. He recently like once,
but when we first interviewed him, he had never played
his own game.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
He didn't know any of the characters. I was like, yeah, man,
dumb flamenco.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
He was looking at me like I was I was
speaking another language.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Let's right. A camera crew was with him when he
played it for the first time. Reason, yeah, not that
long ago.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
But what did he say?

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Covido goes the first guy you beat glass Joe, and
what did he say?

Speaker 1 (40:20):
He said, yeah, I know this is way swear I swear.
He said, yeah, I know, blast Joe and that's it.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Blast Jake, blast Joe.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
And dude, I sat there like, you mean, I was
so disappointed. I'm like, I could tell you the code
to fight you right now. But you never played your
own game. And there was another story about that recently
where someone didn't play their own game.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Who was it?

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Oh, Ralph Maccio wasn't in an interview recently and they
were talking about Karate Kid two and it was a
very popular Nintendo game and he was like, yeah, I
never played it. You never the game you were on
that we all played when you were kids. He's like, not,
I never played it once. Wow, Well, hey man, you
should probably check that out. But interestingly enough, back to

(41:10):
what I said, if you quizzed the current Laker roster
Danny j about Laker history. You would also be probably
disappointed in the general lack of knowledge. It's I listen,
when I go on for a job interview, no matter
where it is, I'm not patting myself in the back.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
But I was taught to very much learn about where
you're going. Do your homework. Do your homework.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I remember we had an intern interview once when we
worked at Sirius XM. We had an intern candidate come
in and they were straight up like, yeah, I never
heard of this company. Was Cyrus, like, you're here for
an internship interview? That was wrong with you? And I
just think it's terribly It's not a bad reflection, it's

(41:56):
just odd. Like I remember, you guys made fun of
me that I was watching. I remember one of the
big shows at the time on Netflix. We were all
loving House of Cards and I didn't realize that Claire
Underwood was Jenny from Forrest Gump. And it never clicked,
like it just never never done them mere like, wait.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
That's Jenny from f oh.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (42:21):

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Thank guys.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Oh by Mike by Mike. Uh, you know what, Let's
go to Dan Buyer's update. Let's do that now, and
then uh, let's get into this kissing on the lips.
I'm on a Ross Saint Brown story that I think
is hilarious.

Speaker 5 (48:53):
What's up, guys. The Nick Chubb signing in Houston is official.
The running back passing is physical with the Texans, so
he is now under contract on a one year deal
that could pay him as much as five million dollars
in twenty twenty five. Right now, Kirk Cousins is still
the quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons albe at the backup
to Michael Pennix Junior, but he is expected to attend

(49:14):
the team's mandatory mini camp this week despite his unhappiness
in Atlanta. That's according to the Athletic Packers today released
corner Jay R Alexander and the Bengals are letting go
of veteran linebacker Jermaine Pratt, and the Colts announced the
new ownership plan following the passing of Jim Rsey. Ers's
three daughters will each have an ownership stake, with carly
Ers Gordon being tabbed as owner and CEO of the franchise.

(49:37):
You guys mentioned it. No game in the NBA Finals tonight,
but there is NBA news. Cavaliers guard Darius Garland's going
to miss the start of next season. He'll need four
to five months to recover following toe surgery. ESPN reported
that news. ESPN also reporting Hawks are hiring Pelicans GM
Bryce and Graham that is, to be their senior VP
of basketball operations. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark won't play

(49:59):
tomorrow against the Dream, the fifth straight game she's missed
because of a restrained quad. The Red Sox are calling
up top prospect I'll feel the Roman Anthony. He is
in the lineup tonight, batting fifth and playing right field
against the Tampa Bay Rays. While on the ice, it's
Game three of the Stanley Cup Final. Oilers and Panthers
eight o'clock Eastern Time series tied up at a game apiece.
Ryan NuGen Hopkins of Edmonton is considered a game time decision.

(50:21):
Nugent Hopkins was on the ice for their optional morning
skate earlier today, but still awaiting a final word on
whether he will skate tonight.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Guys back to you, Yeah, thanks, d B Dby. What
do you think about the risk reward on that Nick
Chubb deal?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
I you know, people might not realize because time is
a flying He's a couple of years removed from fifteen
hundred yards twelve tondies like the last two seasons.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
He has been banged up in some injuries and obviously, yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
That significant knee injury that we saw that was just
gruesome for him to even come back and play. I'll
tell you the Texans are trying. Joe Mixon was very
good for them last year.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Twenty nine years old, still under thirty. But you get
ruesome injury. Maybe Nick Chubb needs some like Derek Henry
sort of motivation. Do you hear that story over the
weekend with Sandler?

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Yes, it was on the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I'll put you he said he'd put him in a
movie if Henry rushed for two thousand yards. That was
very own dan Patrick. Yet Dan Patrick was talking to
Derrick Henry and the and the bet was if he
gets two thousand rushing yards again.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Right, yep, Just like you don't watch the news, Cavino
only pays attention to DP when he's on.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
It's exactly.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
There was a story about Derek Henry. You know, maybe
on the show We're filling in for fourth of July
week that show. But two thousand yards it's a lot
with Lamar there. But if anybody can do it, it's
Derrick Henry.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Thank you, deep appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Damn Now I gotta ask only because this seems to
come up every so often, and it has to do
with kissing other grown ups on the lips.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
And Tom Brady got so much crap for this.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
No, here's the difference.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
You mean kissing kids on the lips.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
He was kissing his son. He was a little boy
at the time. So I don't want to sound like
a contrarian or I'm condict contradicting myself here because I
didn't really have as much of a problem with that
as the rest of the world did. That's his little son.
You take as much love as you can get out
of these kids before they tell you to beat it.
Grown ups are different. I think though, the people that

(52:26):
gave Tom Brady a lot of crap were because his
son was not such a little boy.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
He was a like twelve or thirteen.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
He was a kid. Yeah, he was a little boy. Yeah,
but when you say a little boy, you men say
like four or five. He was a preteen, probably teenager.
So what his son? I agree, yeah, I get it,
but I also understand that culturally it's different for everybody.
But people were making it out like he did something wrong.
It's tom Brady's son. Beat it well.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Again.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
This subject comes up again in the form of Amen Ross.
Saint Brown, during a podcast, talked about him kissing his dad.

Speaker 6 (52:57):
I kiss my dad and lives growing up until I
would say what, like until I got to high school.
But then in high school I think a few times
I kiss him on the lips, like when I what
was it when I graduated? I think when I committed
so a lot of people think it's weird. I kissed
my mom on the lips too. I kissed my brothers

(53:18):
on the lips when I was growing up. My dad
made us do it so we get in fights. After
the fight was over, he would make us kiss each
other on the lift somebody after kiss that's funny.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
I didn't have a fight sometimes, just kiss on the
That was gonna be my plan. If you try to
beat my ass, I was going to kiss you, but
not my dad made us do it, So I think.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
I mean, it's not a thing I think in America really,
but yeah, I think it's a In Germany, it's kind
of normal. So it was normal for me growing up.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Well that explains it. Like we said, cultural differences, I
get it. But to be clear, there's a big difference
between sixteen seventeen. He said high school, right, Tom brady
Son was eleven. I just I just double checked. He
was eleven years all the time.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
So it makes sense now because he said they do
that a lot in Germany.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
So yeah, that makes sense. And if you remember, I
don't know if you remember, though, I'm gonna rost sat Bred.
If you watch Receiver, his dad, you know, lived overseas
and he's a big weightlifter. I look at this interestingly.
And military dad, right, and military dad. I remember they
were working out in the garage when he was like
a little kid, but like super strict and by some
times like big cat with that courtesy a bar, still right,

(54:30):
I think.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
So my thought is this, why do we have such
a problem with it?

Speaker 1 (54:37):
The more I think about it, is it like our
weird American like awkward ways? Because I think my son
is five, I still kiss my son on the lips
every night? Can I buddy, gimmim a we'll peck on
the lip.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Same with my daughter.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Now, I'm sure that won't last forever. But why is
that weird to people? There's all sorts of reasoning. I
remember that when this Tom Brady story came to be
and came to light again, I grew up in a
super affectionate family, but I would feel weird if my
mom or dad would kiss me on the lips at
a certain age. So I think it stops when you

(55:11):
start realizing that.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Yeah, a lot of families are just anti with that too.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
Like I dated a girl back in the day and
she said that when she was a little kid, her
aunt kissed her on the lips and she got a
cold sore.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Oh dude, I was just gonna say that. Danny, thank
you for giving a real life example. You know, adults
carry things that little kids do not. And then it
also there was a story I remember, got the herp
don't go kissing anybody you don't know what you got
her or if a breakouts about to happen.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Right, rich some people carry germs and they don't know
those germs are inside of it, and.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Little kids are so susceptible to these things.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
And next thing you know, your kid has cold sores
because Aunt Cindy wanted to be affectionate. And then the
other side of the story is and again I didn't
grow up this way. But the story I remember when
the Brady thing happened was, you know, you shouldn't be
kissing or the thought was you shouldn't be kissing these
little kids on the lips because it confuses them that
other adults are also allowed to kiss them on the lips,

(56:05):
and that could send weird signals to other kids where
they think that's normal and that's not good. But a
stranger ever tried to do that. It's interesting, right because Danny,
you and I were talking before the show about there's
always different do these things? Do these things self correct?
Meaning like it's a given that a few days a

(56:26):
week my son ends up in me and my wife's
bed in the middle of the night.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
He'll wake up in the middle night run and ends
up sleeping in our bed.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Sounds like a little sea block. Sounds just like that. Actually,
that's just like you. You nip off the old blockhead.
So I can't tell you Rich was the biggest sea
block there ever was in his heyday. It's true.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
So your brother's right on that, your son's right on
the same panth But.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
I look at it this way. My son's not going
to be, you know, running in our bed at three
in the morning when he's thirteen.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
You know, you naturally grow, you age out of these things.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Like my kids still want to take a bath together
and play with their little bath bombs and their little
Scooba divers and stuff like.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
That's not going to be forever. They're gonna realize eventually.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
My daughter's be like, yeah, I'm a little old now
I don't want to take a bath at my brother,
but now they want to do it.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
I think kissing your kids they your kids. I find
it weird. If you think it's weird to kiss your kid.
I agree there your kid.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
For the record, I agree with Rich. But because again
it goes away on its own. It happens so fast.
My daughter is going to be sixteen. I don't kiss
her on the lips anymore. But when did it end?
Probably like I don't know. Maybe I don't know Tom
Brady's kid age. Yeah, eleven and eleven, maybe tennish elevenish night.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
You know what, I think, it's the same affection when
you kiss them on the.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Chance when Christmas changes, let's just say, yeah, you know,
if there's kiddies listening, when when the Christmas holidays a
different changes and things become a little different, they start
growing up a little bit, right, start becoming aware.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
I don't want anybody kissing my two year old the lips.
I don't do it, nobody in the family.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
No, you don't.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
On his cheek, Yeah, you know, no raspberries on his belly.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
Yeah. People are very particular about it.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Yeah, that's crazy. Everyone everyone's different.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Like my girlfriend grew up. Her family didn't do that,
so they think it. Like I come from a very
affectionate Mexican Italian household. Everybody's a little wand kissy and
my mom's mothers, your grandkids. My girlfriend's family did not
raise their kids to be like that. I don't think
it's a little overly affectionate. I remember dating an Italian
girl where her like dad and uncles and stuff would

(58:37):
kiss me on the cheek during holidays, and I remember
feeling their man stubble on my face, being like, oh,
but that's like on the cheek. Listen your thoughts weird
to kiss your own kids a little. I think the
Saint Brown's story is definitely a little more interesting than
the Tom Brady one because he had he said.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
He was in high school school graduating, Yeah, so, and
then when he committed to the college he chose.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Now. Do I think that that's confidence in that love?
I think it's love. Do I think there's anything like
strange in that and like a perverted way? Absolutely not.
That's not my point.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
I'm just saying that I wouldn't want my dad kissing
me when I was in high school. I eat it.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Yeah, I'm undrest Saint Brown talking about, you know, kissing
his kid. Let's go to Bruno in Brooklyn.

Speaker 10 (59:24):
Bruno, what's up, buddy, seeing our gentleman? Hey, I'm all
I love it just real quickly here, listen, we did
it with our kids. We had a boy and a
girl there's a difference with the boys and the girls.
In the house is one environment, but it's always situational,
meaning you're bringing your kids to schoo when they're young.
It's one thing I bring in my kid the ball
practice when he's young, eight nine, He's like, pop's no way,

(59:47):
you know, because he knew, you know, guys were getting
on our cars and looking. The girls were a little different.
They were a little bit more comfortable with it. That's
the way we used to handle it. I'd always look
around and say, listen, what's going on, and he'd say
if he show, nobody was going cause he'd actually give
me a kiss on the left.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
So we did.

Speaker 10 (01:00:01):
We can start kids on the list and then when
they weren't ready for it, they didn't didn't have girls
are they'll do it a little longer. But the boys
definitely was all about where we were and what was
going on around us.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Yeah, would you say was the appropriate time for it
to stop? Age wise?

Speaker 10 (01:00:15):
It depends on the child, you know. I know my
kid was was was quitting probably somewhere in the ten
eleven range.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Yes, my boy, that's why I was light.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
He got all that flat. Yeah, Brady got unnecessary crap
for that because you kiss him. To me, it showed
he was a loving dad. But there is a point
where it does stop. Sull ry show rye in DC.
What's up?

Speaker 8 (01:00:37):
What's going on with others?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Man?

Speaker 8 (01:00:40):
First of all, I just have to Mary Meg playing.
Did he we talk about kissing children? And through me?

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Well, officially it was yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I thought about that, and I was like, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (01:00:53):
I just had to mention that. But I will say
I didn't come from an affectionate family, so like to me, like,
I don't see the like the point in doing so necessarily.
But let me say this. I didn't get kissed this
from my mother or my father, like you know, they
were kind of emotionally distant in general. But up until
he made me stop, I kissed myself in the forehead

(01:01:13):
every time, you know, he went to bed for you,
went to school, things of that nature.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I think you could do that all way.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Beautiful. Yeah, I think that's great. And look, here's here's
my take on it. I think if we could all
acknowledge that there's cultural differences here, right, the people that
have an issue with it, why can't they acknowledge the
fact that well culturally, there's a difference there. That you
show your kids some extra affection once in a while. Great, hey, listen,
have a wonderful Monday night. We'll see tomorrow or even

(01:01:39):
there you maybe see you in the Promised Land. Goodbye, guys,
