(00:23):
Fox Sports Radio today. That park because it's too dreary. Now,
this is good, this Preverdent parking garage. You know what
it all ties together. I had to park on the
fifth floor because all these damn yoga people are taking
up the spots where.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
They're supposed to park. Eighth floor and higher.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Really yeah, some bs, So tell them I got a problem.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
They do not follow.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Is that warrant explanation?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Here at the Fox Sports Radio studios, we share the
building with a yoga studio, That's the true story.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
So they do they high up all the good spots.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I come in the parking garage on the first and
second floor, You'll see some cute girl coming out of
her car with her yoga. Matt, you're telling me they're
supposed to be on the eighth floor. I don't think
they got the a.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
They're supposed to be on the eighth floor and the
very top of the I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Gonna tell you, Grandma Lama ding do. Well, here's what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Because I must have showed up at a time right
when a class let out and the new people that come,
so every spot was taken.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I had to go up to the fifth floor. Woe
is me?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I know I do that every day, so I don't
get door dinged.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, Danny g and I show up around the same time,
but he comes into the studio fifteen minutes later.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Because he parks on level twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So yeah, but look at your doors.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm balancing my phone, my keys, my gym clothes. I
liked all these things in my hand. What are you
practicing for a halftime show? Yeah, I'm gonna be balancing
plates on my head at the halftime at the Lakers
Can tonight, they called me the Blue Panda.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
I heard Atlanta's looking for a new show.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
So as I'm balancing all my stuff, I said, you
know what f the elevator. Elevators for weak asses forzy
to go down the stairs.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
And if you can't walk downstairs, then.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Don't know what to tie.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
You just slide down the armor.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
So as I'm balancing all my stuff on the fifth floor,
my phone scoots out of my hand and falls in
the little crevice from the fifth floor down to the
first floor, the little crevasier, like this is a crevice

(02:39):
of this isn't a big human, luckily, thank god, couldn't
fall down this because it's just a space between the
stove and the counter where all the rice falls, you know,
where all the remnants fall when you're cooking and when
you move into a new house, like, oh my god,
it's like the space between your car seat and the
and the the what you even call that the glove

(03:01):
compartment where everything seems to fall.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, where you have.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
To like jam your hand in again anything quarter In
slow motion, I see my phone go bloop bloop, and
then dude, that sucks five floors down and I see
it land right on the face. So now I have
to walk down five flights of stairs knowing what awaits

(03:27):
me at the bottom. I'm like, come on, no wammy,
no wammy, no wammy, there's broke. I pick up my phone.
Screen is shattered. I can't even see anything. It's on
like some frozen screen.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
There really is, and.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
You finally upgraded last year the Apple.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
The only bright side to this whole story is that
for the first time in my adult life, I must
have been like a cheery mood. I let the little
nerd at the Apple store convinced me to get Apple
Care for the first time in my life because I
remember the phone. The phone was like fifteen hundred bucks
and he's like, wow, sir. I'm like, yeah, a little
dweebus And he's like, you know, I have up to

(04:11):
nine bucks a month and I'm like, you know what,
I got a little fingernose picking little kids. I'm like,
for the first time of my life, no joke. But
like a couple months back, sure, I'll do Apple Pay.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, that's either. I think it's ninety nine bucks to
replace you know what, wows.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Pain in the ass, and I'll have to go to
the Apple store after work today. It's quick too, but
no more like, how much did it cost to get
that insurance nine bucks a month? It's just nine extra month. Yeah,
it's like nine ninety nine. It's just because at first,
I'm like, why do I keep getting charged nine to
eighty nine?

Speaker 5 (04:41):
More?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
iPhone storage and I'm like, oh no, that's right, I
did the Apple Care.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'm not endorsing apple Care. Maybe you're not careless like me.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Maybe you're not dropping phones down at elevator banks and stairwells.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
But when I tell you it was.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
The you could have just took the elevator like the
rest of us, instead of showing off.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
They think you're better than us. All I kept thinking
was I going to take what if it takes?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I'm thinking, what if it takes like a nice infield bounce,
Like I just want to stare at your phone as
it leaps five stories and then now for the next
two hours, I will we ever think your phone couldn't
take you anymore? And it just ended at all. It
just decided to call the day. I a I'm a jumper.
It was so sick of listening to Rich, so wait

(05:28):
to say I never thought of Rich's phone.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Was like this guy never shuts up. Am I so
irritating that my phone took.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Its own life and needs a piece of quiet? Please babe? Wait? Wait,
so spot you said it was ninety nine dollars to
replace your screen. I think, so okay, But then if
it's nine dollars a month for this that would be
nine times twelves, one hundred and eight.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
No, but I'm saying, like I think my top shot
it's not just a screen, because it's not a crack
if you see anything, it's a crack screen where my
phone's like dead. No, no, no, they're going to have
to replace the phone. That's with Apple Care.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
If you didn't have Apple Care, you would have to
just brandy oh flat out.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Okay, So just a reminder in insure. I'm not saying
I'm not endorsing apple Care. I'm just saying, for the
first time ever, I think I'm gonna go to the
Apple store and not have a problem. For all I
know they're gonna bamboozle me and be like, oh sir,
still fifteen hundred bucks. But doesn't cover uh you know, oh,
it says here, Oh doesn't cover phone suicide.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh wait, no, sorry, uh you know, bonehead behavior not
covered here under a oh you sign the Apple agreement.
Oh oh it jumped into a crevice, I says right
here on mine eighty three.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yep, we don't cover that.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
By the way.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's how it usually is with any health insurance or
car insurance or anything. It will always not cover the
one thing that happens to you. So I guarantee I'm
gonna go to the Apple store in the back. Oh,
it says you didn't read in the Apple you know,
one hundred page agreement that you just checked.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
It says exception starewell crevices.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I'm hoping don't tell them how it happened.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Just say it happened. Yeah, hoping you're all good them.
But in all seriousness, that was that was a week
ass story. I hate that, man. But the only silver
lining it just reminds you, like how dependent we are
on our phones, because it's like our lifeline to everything.
Could I your bank account, your kids calling you in
an emergency, your sports updates, your social media, absolutely everything.

(07:21):
It dawned on me already, and that's that's sort of
where I was going with this. Of course, I want
to share my clumsy story to make everyone feel okay,
because that happens to everyone at least once in their life.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
But it didn't make me realize the.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Minute I sat down about about forty five minutes an
hour ago, when I got here to prep with you guys.
Since then, do you know how many times I've picked
up my phone out of just pure habit to look
up a stat a game time.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Oh wait, our group chat for the show.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, when we were prepping, I'm like, oh, Danty sent
me that.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Oh I can't go.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
You don't realize you are a prisoner to your smartphone, iPhone, Android,
whatever you have.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
When I tell you out of that.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Even in nervous conversations when you're at the school talking
to parents, how many times you just look down at
your phone to look down at something. Yeah, it's just
a part of what we do and what we've become. Unfortunately,
for good and bad, I didn't know what I just did.
We become robot Sam. I just looked at the screen.
I saw ooh, my mets are up one nothing. I
grabbed my phone to see how they scored the run,
and I'm like, but.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
I'll never know.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
I saw this like the parental challenge you're gonna have
to do, like what little kids are being forced to do. Now,
there's a lot of schools and parents take an initiative
where they're forcing their kids to a put the phone
down during dinner, right, so you get socialized.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's a common one.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
But they're also having their kids order at restaurants now
so they can have face to face, eye to eye
contact like normal humans. So parents are forcing their kids
to be like, no, no, we're going to drive through.
You order, Come on, Gregor's talking.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Gregor's I don't know how to do it, talk to.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Another human, little Timmy, and you know, because they're so
used to communicating through text message and everything else. You know,
there's a whole study where young people are facing all
sorts of anxiety when it comes to answering phone calls.
So it could be a potential job, but they're scared
to answer the phone because they don't have phone communication skills.

(09:16):
They get anxiety when it rings. There's so much involved here,
you know. The Yankees also did like a fun you know,
when the players show up to the stadium, there's always
some social media person that does something fun with them.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
I guess how many jelly beans during this jar?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't know how many unanswered text messages do you have?
Some of the players had like thousands, and some had
a you know, just a few. Mine's not cleared of
anxiety because we're constantly communicating on our phone, so it's understandable.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Unanswered text messages, unanswered.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
A text message are. We're not talking about email. No, No,
their text messages are like our regular people emails.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Getting back to people. You're not responding. You got to
communicate better. Email is one thing. You get a bunch
of junk email like fine, but well they're popular pro ballplayers.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
So rich it to be just by habit looking at
our phone the whole time. Yet it's completely cracked and ruined.
So it is.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
That's the story. No message dates for you.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's good for you.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Luckily I got the game on here in the studio.
But let me tell you too.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
I love he'll give you the updates, but I will.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
Say it is Alonzo RBI double on the top of
the first by the way.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Thank you, thank you, Polar bepeat And as.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
If they're not have an iPhone, you got an Isaac.
But you know what, Rich, you're gonna have to take
what I call the old fashion. Later on, you're gonna
have to use the bathroom and sit there lonely with
nothing to look at, nothing but the tiles.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
You read the back of the the can.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's it. They can, that's it.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
That's just you and your thoughts and the old number two.
That's it.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
There you go just just a reminder that we are
so addicted to our phone, sports.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Scores, social media, text messaging. Oh, by the way, did
you notice notice this?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Speaking of your phone, our instinct to tie it to
sports is to check your scores and things like that.
Not to dump on anybody, but to just talk about
my observations and what everyone's witnessing. Everybody knows that ESPN
is not partnering up with MLB. Major ball dropped worse

(11:15):
than Aaron Judge in the World Series as far as
your ball dropped. Yeah, because baseball is hot right now?
You notice that, like you have to scroll further to
find the MLB section.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Right, they've I tell you, I think we've moved.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Okay, I'm glad est enlisted baseball under like women's soccer. Yeah,
it's not smack talk, you know. I use the app,
I look at it, I get my and I've noticed, like, ah,
how weak, yo. You can't disrespect baseball like that. Baseball's hot, right,
Baseball just got a butt lift and you're you're dismissing it.
Come on, base baseball just got some sweet betoks and

(11:54):
you're putting it up and you're putting it underneath the
tennis highlights. Have you seen the torpedo bat that guy?
So you're skinnier now and you're dismissing it? Back guy,
LiPo section. Now here's here's the dilemma of how addicted
to our phones we are. I know this is hinfo,
unnecessary information, but after the show, I had a plan.

(12:17):
Now tell me do you We'll just say do deviate
deviate from this plan or not. My buddy asked me
if I could fill in on a softball team tonight.
So I was gonna go to the ball field of
Seam and fill in Frank.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I was gonna you know, that season, getting some swings in. Yeah,
so my buddy fill in Phil. So my buddy said
seven thirty games. So I'm like, dude, I'm in perfect.
I got no plans tonight. It's the one day I'm
not coaching or doing anything. I'm like, I'm in Yeah,
but aren't those nice beautiful nights when I have nothing
to do?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
I like to do, nothing but just a beautiful night. I said,
it's a nice beautiful night. I'll be outdoors swinging a
bat in the poll, meaning like when you got hey,
I got nothing to do that to me, is the
beautiful part of the night. I don't need to fill
that up with nonsense. That's the beauty. I'm looking at
it as all right, I'm gonna go get some swings
in tonight. It'll be nice. I haven't played since the holidays.
It's been a couple month layoff, and I was going

(13:06):
to go to the gym right after our show. So
my plan was go to the gym, go pick up
my family dinner or whatever my wife's cooking, and then
go to the game. There's no way I could wait
till tomorrow. Would you be able to go like twelve
hours without a phone?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Like I feel like this has to doubt Trump. By
the way, it's also irresponsible. You have two rugrats at home,
so I would say irresponsible and really irresponsible for you
to play softball when you got to go replace your phone.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
You have to do that. I know it sounds desperate
and annoying, but you have to do that. I go
to the gym first. I can't go an hour. No, Yeah,
you can go to the gym.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
When we were kids, we'd.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Be unreachable for days out the world we live because
you know what you do you're starting to set panicing
for other people, like he's not getting back to me.
I had artificial I had to call my wife from
the Fox Sports landline four times before she was finally like, hello,
who is this.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm like, Babe, it's me.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
And then I don't want to buy whatever you're selling.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
I did where at work? I don't have a phone.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
How are you going to talk about the show's video
clip after the show if you're not available?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, I was spot going to figure out what to edit.
So what you just said is wild. Listen, We're gonna
get to other stuff, but thanks for letting me vent.
My thought is could I go to the gym for
an hour after the show? That's it, and the debate
is well, I don't know the crazy part about you.
How your dad would leave work hit a newdie bar,
not come home till.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Three am and we didn't know where.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
We were playing whiffleball on the side piece for an hour. Yeah,
see it is mistress. We were playing whiffletball or street
football or basketball in our friends driveway and you were
just waiting for dad to get home from work. It
could have been five six thirty seven. You didn't know
you Mom was on standby with dinner, and you were
playing until dad came home. Dad left in the morning.
Maybe he called mom once from work.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Like secretary was in on it.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, so it's just funny to think I'm debating. Can
I go an hour?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes, you can go on out.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Guess what there our cell phones were back then the
sun set a tough time to go back, street lights
turning on.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
There you go, all right, Well, he thanks for hearing
my boring story out. But I thought, you know, I
think we've all been there. You know, Rich, I'm gonna
grip my phone extra tight now. I want everyone to
do that. Ye make your phone.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
You never know what it's gonna hold your phone close.
So who had a worse day? Rich Davis with no phone?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Like we said, Raphael Dever's got to watch him and
Russell Westbrook had a tough night last night. But Danny
g you got some updates, breaking.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Breaking news from Fox Sports Radio, not a legit breaking news,
with some funny breaking news. Now our boy burst just
came in right now. Guess what Big Mike, you know,
Big Mike who runs this place. Who he had to
go to the garage to turn off somebody's car. Not
only did Rich's car phone commit suicide, Rich's car is

(15:52):
also trying to commit suicide out there running all the gasoline. Rich,
you left your car running?

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
There's no way.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah there.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Are you sure it's his?

Speaker 8 (16:04):
Not mine?

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Because I'm like, is it mine? It can't be bye?

Speaker 4 (16:06):
I think I have to use my key to take
it out.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Are you serious?

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Isla?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I assumed it was Riches because the type of day
he's having. I guess it could be Covenos too, because
you guys are copycats we have.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Is it a black cart or like a silver? Oh
it's black?

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Oh it's smart running? Are you serious? This is the
dumbest show of all time.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
My car is running in the garage with the hell
it's trying to get away from you.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
I say, never is be the smartest person in the room.
See guys, carbon monoxide poisoning.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Oh my goodness. Yeah, it's trying to drive away on
its own.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
They're alive. What I've had enough on this guy. He
keeps farting on my seat. Wow, please get me away
from these guys. This show's not good for a reputation. Huh.
I believe it's It's just how terminator start.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Is I was in such a rush to get here
today and have fun with you guys, I must have forgot. Yeah,
that's what it is. The cars reveled and the phones
are built. What a bird brain, I feel like, So
rise up the machine.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
You can't be can't be too hard on Westbrook? Now
is that even possible?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
But anyway, Russell Westbrook, I gotta thank Danny g again
with the assist. Everybody should have a friend. Everybody should
be that friend, and when something cool is going on,
you will let your buddies to it. If there's a
no hitter you know in the works. Hey, there's a
no hitter. You know you want your friends to tune in,
not miss out on it. Hey, yo, the fight's starting.

(17:36):
Oh thanks man, thanks.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Well, no hitter. You can't say the word. You just say,
oh man, he's throwing a Gymah you got.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
My buddies will always be like you might want to
turn the game on. There you go.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
But Kavino's right. We have a good buddy on the
East coast that will always hit us up with the Hey, uh,
just so you know, fights about the main cards about
to start, and when you have that friend, because sometimes
he's foreign. Fights that Saudi princes put on, they ended
up starting like two in the afternoon on a Saturday,
exactly right, So you need that that update. The head's up.
So Danny g hit us up yesterday with the yo man.

(18:11):
This is one hell of a game, m all right, cool.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, there were there was four minutes left in the
fourth quarter and there had already been like sixteen or
seventeen lead changes. Winds up going to double overtime.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Double ot and I was able to tune in to watch.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
It turned out to be a horrible night for Westbrook
for several reasons. Bad decision making lost the game for
the team and ruined Jokic's night, like the Joker had
a night sixty one points, playing his heart out, like
it was a battle. When you take a game that
far into it and you get double overtime, like losing

(18:52):
hurts that much more and.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
You don't want to make a stupid mistake.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
And it all happened so fast it's hard to say
it was like a mental error, but like you don't
foul in that moment, and Westbrook found Alexander Walker on
his three point attempts, a three point attempt with point
one seconds left, and he gets his shots. They win
the game, one forty one thirty nine.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
So Westbrook jumped into the shooter's landing space, jump.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Right into him, And yeah, it was an easy call,
but it was suspenseful too because they were it felt
like forever before they were deciding on what to happen.
They kept showing close ups of Westbrook's face and he
was just hoping that something went his way.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Nine, big big win from Denver and deflating loss. I'm sorry,
big big win for the Timberwolves and big big loss
for the Nuggets.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
Wolves.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I said Timberwolves and tribute. So nine, the Timberwolves win. But,
like I said, multiple layers to the story in regards
to Westbrook. Now, he's a great player, he's allowed a
bad night, but it was such a big night for
Jokic sixty one points. And that makes us think about
when people ruin the moment, because that's the story today.

(20:12):
He ruined the game. He had a big game, sixty
one points in Westbrook ruined.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
The for him.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
It could be a beautiful night out with your friends
and one of your buddies just drinks too much and
what started out as a fun night of everyone at
the bar having drinks watching the ball game. And this
happened in your twenties, lot, I think back to your
college days, in those days where.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Oh, it was a great night until bart got into
a fight.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, or oh, man, Drew's been drinking too much and
then we got to carry him out of here.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
He yacked all over.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Hey, you know what makes me think of there's a
one of my favorite movies in fact, that they're redoing.
They're redoing a classic. Everybody, I don't know if you
know this. We're talking about ruined the moments again Westbrook. Essentially,
he ruined the game and he ruined Yokic's moment. No
one's didn't care about his big night when they lost
the game. Remember in the movie LaBamba, Richie Vounds is

(21:02):
having like this big showcase. The record label guy's there,
all his friends are there, He's performing, come.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
On, let's go, let's go, let's go a little bit.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
He's doing all his songs.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
By the way, one quick stat for you guys, not
only did he ruin a sixty one point night, he
ruined NBA history because the joker, the triple double. Yeah,
I mean it was an over sixty point triple double,
which has only happened a handful of times in NBA history.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Sixty one points, ten rebounds, ten assists. Yokich was putting
on a show, and again the back and forth battles down.
You tell me Russell Westbrook is Bob from Obamba. That's
exactly what I was getting at. You.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Remember, so Richie Vallens is having this this show of a.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Life ole dun Richy and his fly du his mom
rented out the VFW hall, all his friends were there,
and Bob comes in all drunk with his motorcycle friends
starting fights. That dude's my brother, and he's punching people
on the face and he ruins Richie's whole night. Much
like another movie, A Star is Born with Lady Gut Guy.

(22:05):
I know it was a remake, but Bradley Cooper's character
like you know, the Wash Country Star. Remember they're at
the award show and he like stumbles on stage at
the Grammys, or you ever go to a wedding and
someone like makes a fool of himself on the dance floor. No,
it ruins the whole night, and ride's all mad about it,
Uncle Hank. Yeah, Hank dranks so a little too much.
Here's the challenge, Fox Sports Radio Nation based on Russell.

(22:27):
Let's take some heat off of Russell Westbrook. Let's talk
about other ruined moments could be in sports. Oh, I
could think of a few sports examples, could be in
life times at the moment was ruined eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fix. I love for an update, Isaac
lowing Kron, what's up man?

Speaker 7 (22:44):
All right, guys, We'll start in the NBA, where ESPN
reports that the NBA is looking into Memphis Grizzlies guard
John Moran for making finger gun motions towards the Golden
State Warriors bench during their game last night. Here now
a Fox Sports Radio simulation of the alleged incident.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Man, what's gonna happen to shoot at McGavin on the
PGA tour? Then I'll be checking his Twitter feed. He
has a great Twitter feed out there, by the way.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
NBA also reportedly also looking into a prior gesture that
was made before that by Golden State's Buddy Healed. In
Major League Baseball, multiple outlets report that Arizona Diamondbacks all
star second baseman could tell Martee has agreed to a
new six year, one hundred and sixteen million dollar extension.
On the field right now, the Mets stake to an

(23:31):
early lead at Miami and an RBI double by Pete
Alonso on the top of the first inning. However, unfortunately
rich they are now behind two to one to the
Marlins in the top half of the fourth.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
The terrible error by Mark Vientos, and he's a chance
of redemption now he's up with a runner on third,
two outs. He they so man on third, bouncer to
him at third, through to home. Had this guy an
easy rundown. He overthrew the catcher about like ten feet.
So Mets have had some week defense over the first
week of this sea. That's pretty good for a guy
who doesn't have a phone right now. I'm good for you.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Some good insight.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Earlier in today Saint Louis Cardinal's caatchery von Herrera three
home runs and six RBI and a twelve five win
over the Angels.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
What else comes to mind when it comes to ruined moments.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I have a few sports ones when we throw them
at the out, he said, Russell Westbrook, you got the
other Russ Russell Wilson, everyone in Seattle, the twelfth Man.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Everyone's all fired up. We're about to win back to
back Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You know the glory of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson
in that whole squad got ruined by a New England
Patriots interception on the one yard line.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
I start thinking of.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Things that are forgotten because it never mattered, like you're
Andy Chaves moments on my list. Andy Chavez made arguably
the greatest catch in playoff baseball history, jumping over the
fence ice cream coning a Game seven ball, and then
the Mets lose in the ninth inning in Carlos Beltrend's

(25:03):
downlooking ruining that moment. Meaning if the Mets ended up winning, right,
it all goes back to that Andy Chavez moment, like oh.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Man, when he made that catch, that was it?

Speaker 1 (25:13):
The best example because they lose, it's a forgotten highlight.
The best example is what you just said, meaning you
may not even remember that catch, but I promise you this,
if the Mets go on to win that series and
maybe even win the World Series, we're calling that a
top five greatest catch of all time. And it's double
forgotten because it turned out that it didn't matter, and
you never want to look back and remember the highlight

(25:35):
because they lost.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Anyway, I wanted to think outside the box on a
couple here ruined moments for sure. How about Warren Beatty
and Faye Dunaway announcing La La Land as the winner
for Best Picture and the cast gets up there on
stage and then they have to explain to them it's
a mistake. It spot it is supposed to be moon
Moonlight Moonlight.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
And Steve Harvey, Steve Harvey wrong, Miss Universe.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
That was embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
And how about a dozy that lives on, that lives on.
I got one in the same vein as your Andy
Chavez moment, plus the rest of your phone calls.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
We're gonna get to that.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Ruined moments in sports and in life based on last
night's Westbrook Found you know when it comes to sports. Yeah,
we mentioned that yesterday, so it was fresh on my mind.
Some of the greatest teams of all time fell short
in the final game of the final series. The fact
that the Warriors seventy three and nine, the most unbeatable
regular season team in NBA history, Lebron just the huge

(26:36):
comeback down three to one. Oh yeah, yeah, we mentioned Seattle,
we mentioned the eighteen and oh patriot atriots.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, those were ruined moments for sure.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Because they could have made history. Yeah, history, that's how
I say it, dude. They ruined history's.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Story.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
We got Danny g on the phones at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. I was Sam, always great
to know. I love some tractor supply.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
What what do you love?

Speaker 4 (27:05):
I mean, I'm from Iowa, going there and spend that
one day.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
What does your family grow? Anything from? Arugula? It is
any nice?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Wait, it's a vegetable vegeta in the movie.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
I don't know, sir, are we missing anything here? Yeah? Arugula?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
What's a rugla? It's a vegetable. If you don't know,
you know what? Eight seven seven nine nine on Fox.
I will be generous enough to give away a swiggy
for the first person that knows that movie. First person
that knows that movie A arugula, it's a vegetable.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
I know.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Lowen Cron knows. He's on your updates, Spott. He's getting
ready for midweek Major and Rich. While we get ready
for the phone calls, do you know it's Shohei o
Tani MVP Bobblehead Night for the first forty thousand people
at the stadium today, So major, major traffic jams and
people freaking out the damage.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
He's gonna go to the Apple store right next to
down your stadium.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
My true story. I left CoA in his stroller in
for a place in line this morning. I hope the
people pushing it.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Do you know again a d radio It's finest. Did
you know what Dad got arrested? He went to run
an errand and he left his kids at the McDonald's playplace.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Did he went for a job interview or meeting?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
And he's like, no one, I'll no, he just dumped
his kids at the McDonald's like ballpit, and he thought
no one would notice.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
That's what our moms used to do with us at
toys r us.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Hey, look around for a while. I'm gonna go to
cal door. So hey, drive safe and look out for
stories later on. Because I'm predicting. You know, we're talking
about ruined moments. It's supposed to be a nice family night.
I think some fights there's gonna be thrown down. Oh
you know people for these baba heads.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah, it's the first forty thousand and these are so exclusive.
One of the reasons why a lot of people save
one from their family and then they'll sell. They'll resell
the other for triple the the price, so what it
should cost.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
We'll keep you posted on that.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
But speaking of baseball and ruined moments, all because Westbrook.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
He ruined the great game with a weak.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Ass foul, He ruined Jokic's triple double, he ruined Jokic's
sixty one point night, because the Nuggets ended up losing.
Other ruined moments in the world of sports and life.
Now Rich you meant that you mentioned Andy Chavez's catch,
It's forgotten because the Mets lost that series, so a
ruined moment. If they would have won, that would have

(29:32):
went down, like you said, as one of the greatest
catches of all time. I have a story that happened
in two thousand and one in the world of sports
two thousand and one, and I'll tell you that right
after the phone call. I know what, before we get
to the phone calls about ruined moments, do we have
a winner for who knew the irugula reference?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
They had the first one to get in on that.
Mike in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yo, Mikey, what's uping man? What movie? The following quote

Martin Steve Martins in the like Witness Protection Program. He's
he's like Henry Hill, basically, yeah, I have seen that,
and he's, uh, you know the guy, his parole officer,
I guess is Rick Morani's great eighties movie.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
And he goes to a supermarket in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Think about it.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
He's like a New York East Coast Italian guy. He's
a mobster.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, And he goes to the supermarket and he's looking
for a rugala.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Congratulations, brother, hang on the line. We'll send a swiggy

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah. You missed My favorite line from that movie when

he says, in case I want to read it.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
More than once, the best life is Sarah, you have
thirty nine covey, What if I want to read it
more than once?

Speaker 4 (31:12):
All right?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Ruined moments?

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Could you know?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Want to go to Matt and not Alaska. I want
to tell my story. Tell me, tell your story. The
Matt could stand by, So Mattie, Matt and everybody else
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We're getting to
your phone calls other ones that come to mind, sports
or personally. In two thousand and one, you remember the

(31:34):
Yankees nightmare. I think the world for the first time
was pulling for the Yankees to win the World Series.
It was a rough year, nine to eleven. Just happened,
Yankees got a chance to win it all. Alfonso Soriano
hit a go ahead home run off of Kurt Shilling
in Game seven against the Diamondbacks, and the Yankees brought

(31:57):
it up last night.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Paul o' neial was talking about it last night.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yankees were play in the Diamondbacks as we speak, and
even he said, like that home run, had they won
the World Series, would have gone down as one of
the most historical go ahead home runs in World Series history.
Alfonso Soriano would have forever been a Yankee legend.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
But he went on.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Meanwhile, people forget he was the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
People forget not only that he was a Yankee, Like,
they forget this moment because they want to forget the
fact that the Yankees lost.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
It was a nothing burger.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
What could have been the most heroic moment ever is
almost forgotten completely. Not to rub it in being that
you're a Yankees fan. Take me back twenty four years.
Are we mid game late innings? When did Soriano hit
the bomb?

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Again?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Try to forget I got the facts here though. Crucial
Game seven, Soriano hit an O two pitch from Shilling,
given the Yankees the lead, and eventually they lost the game.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
It was an.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Eighth inning, okay, and it was I think they went
three to two or something like that, ahead the Yankees
two to one, went ahead, two to one. Your facts
about your own team. That's what I hit about Yankees fans.
They win so much, They're like, I don't know the details,
it was just another year. Well, I'm proving the point too.
These are moments that you forget because they were unimportant
to you as a fan.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
It's a ruined moment. What could have been.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
It should have been a historical moment for Yankees fans
ended up being ruined by Gonzo's weak ass blooper. That
was the best weak ass hit and for Dad get it.
There's two sides every story. For the Diamondbacks, man, you
got the best of Mo Rivera with a bloop single.
Who would he do when they win? But that moment,
which was I remember the moment obviously like no way,

(33:44):
Sorriana and everyone's cheering going wild.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
They lost forgotten.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
That's like one of the most forgotten moments, so forgotten
fans even forget and for real, that's like the tree
You're asking me the score in the moment and everything else.
I don't forget the moment, but I don't try to
relive that day. I don't try to relive that Game seven.
I just know in my head, in my heart that
Soriano was this close to becoming a here edgend a hero,

(34:11):
a hero.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
John in Idaho Falls, What's up?

Speaker 4 (34:13):
John?

Speaker 6 (34:15):
H The tough Bool game with child Woodson in a
fumble hit on Tom Brady. That was a great moment,
and they took it back with the tough rule.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Raiders would have went to the super Bowl or advanced, right.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
And yeah, well they had a super Bowl caliber team.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
They would have advanced in the next round. And by
advancing to the next round, that Raiders team had a
trajectory of winning that. You know, keep in mind they
were like a year removed from being in the super Bowl,
so that that Raiders team got the short end of
that Woodson would have been you know, that would have
been a memorable Raiders moment. Ends up the creation of
a weak tuck roll Matt in Alaska.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (34:48):
What up?

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Matt?

Speaker 8 (34:49):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (34:50):
Boys?

Speaker 5 (34:50):
He? I heard on the Dan Byer Show that some
Los Angeles Dodgers fans got to the game eight hours
early only to find out that the Dodgers are actually
giving bubbleheads to everyone that comes tonight. Talk about being angry. Anyways,
My moment.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Is, oh my god, that's the worst.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, because I read forty thousand this morning, I.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
Did do, I did do.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
The Dan Bier Show said that everybody's getting one. Uh
not Dan bra Doug Gottlieb. Jim Joyce, first base Empire dude.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Number one answer yeah game, oh.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Caller dude is now not in the record books because the.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Answer on the board, without a doubt Jim Joyce, who again,
he he couldn't have been more sympathetic to the mistake.
He admitted his error in that moment. I always argue
he went with his gut and what he thought in
the moment was right. I would argue, could you know
that perhaps that made it even a bigger moment in
sports history. So maybe there's like a layer where it's
like I couldn't name all the perfect games in MLB history,

(35:54):
but I can name the one that was robbed that
was a heartbreaker.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, well you're putting it in the Pete Rose category
where maybe it was better that he didn't get in
because he got more attention.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Maybe so, And they both handled it so well, like
the way, Yeah, the way they handled that was was
almost like.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Shocking.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Baseball should have fixed that though, Why can't they? Yeah,
even the year before that, they should have fixed it.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Honestly, Daddy, Sometimes we forget it's a game and there's
no like statute of limitations. It's not We're not in court.
This is not you know, charges against someone. Hey, we
realize it was wrong. The replay now, I know you
can say that's a slippery slope of like, well, then
let's replay this and that.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
But why can't we just all agree it was a
perfect game. Jim Joyce ruin the perfect game. Man, that
was tough.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
But they go down and a lifetime like moment, you know,
and we you and I were watching that, Rich together.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
We were comino.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
They were there forever linked, much like you know for
years Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckden would do autograph signings together,
Jim Joyce and Galarraga forever almost like uh brothers in
a way, right, like connected Yeah, connected through history for sure.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Rich.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
I know you have like personal other personal examples. But again,
it happens in sports, it happens in life. Someone has
a little too much to drink at the family reunion.
I'm in a good mood, so I'm going a good mood,
So I don't want to talk about how Spot gave
the worst best man speech at my wedding.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Like he made wife.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
It was like a failed roast instead of the best
man speech. But we won't talk about that. Oh yeah,
we don't have to talk about it. Let's get back
to the phone. Let's go to Todd in Missouri.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Hey, Todd, Hey, Todd, how much we Brick messed that?

Speaker 5 (37:43):
Man?

Speaker 6 (37:43):
He clicked the shot on the possession before, missed the layup,
or they could have.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
Just ran the box. So wait, say it again, but.

Speaker 6 (37:52):
Just how much west Brook He missed that lay up
on the possession right before he could have just ran
the clock and or at least not missed the layup.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
So he just really messed that up.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yeah, and the coach defended him almost, you know, doubled
down on both of his mental errors.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, so he just had a rough night.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I don't know what was going on there. Drew and Sincy,
what's up? We'll take like three more?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (38:13):
Drew?

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Hey guys? Hey, the Super Bowl fifty one Patriots and
Falcons obviously most known for the Falcons blowing the game,
but deep in the fourth quarter, Julio Jones had one
of the most incredible catches. I don't know if you
all remember, I do remember this. Seven yards down the sideline,
perfect most guy got both seat and bounds. And what

(38:36):
did the Falcons do? Sack penalty, punt, and the rest
is history.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, when you I remember that moment only because that's
that's the part you remember where all the Falcons needed
to do was put any points on the board just
to distance themselves a little more, and the fact that
they weren't field goal range and somehow sack penalty just
pushed themselves back.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
I was like, oh my god, the Patriots are going
to do this. That was terrible.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Uh, let's go to Neil in Tennessee, Neil Covin on
Rich You.

Speaker 8 (39:04):
Guys, I don't know if would have made a difference, but.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
The Weber time out in the championship game, say it again.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
The Weber Chris, Yeah, that was That's always going to
be we talked about for sure. I actually, you know
our last call that reminded me of something else when
I was playing high school football.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
There was.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I forget what the play was, but it was a
winning touchdown on our end. It was a JV game,
and then there was a clipping call on me that
took it back.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
We ended up losing that game.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
So I was like, oh, it was like this heroic
touchdown at my buddy Tom scored and I and everyone's
mad at you. Dude, when you get called for something
like that, there, everyone's mad at you for that. You
feel like the worst because you ruined the party. You're
like the uh, like the tight end on the Ravens. Yeah,
I was like what Mark? And you know there are

(39:57):
sometimes when something gets blown, there is a silver lining
because you never know. Is that Tom Brady?

Speaker 4 (40:04):
You know?

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Tom Brady tells that story on his documentary The Story
of the Chinese Farm, Or how in the moment you
might think something's bad, but it might be good, and
something good might actually be bad. It's a great what
do you call it? A great fable? There was the
New York Yankee. I can't quite remember which Yankee. You'll
fill in the blanks. He would have been on a

(40:28):
plane that crashed in New York had the Yankees won
the World Series, and he forever thanks Marianna Rivera for
blowing that game. There was a Yankee. Let me explain
Game seven, the Yankees lose. He was going to his
playing Let's just say his travel arrangements changed because it
was wait around for the parade or go home. Wasn't

(40:51):
that the Seth MacFarland story too. Seth MacFarland just overslept
for nine to eleven. But Yankee avoids plane crash one,
not nine to eleven. Remember a month later, a plane
crashed in the Rockaways off of the right off of JFK.
There was a New York Yankee that was going to
be on that plane, but said, I don't need to
be on that plane anymore, no parade.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
I'm going rod.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
That's the story of Enrique Wilson, Crede Wilson. Yeah, he
was a great player.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
He's just a utility guy and he played big, played
well for for the Yanks. He credits Mariano's blown save
for saving his life. He was booked on a plane, yeah,
flight five eighty seven. He was booked on a plane
that crashed every Yeah, flight five eighty seven.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
And because the Yankees weren't gonna have a celebrating prey like,
he booked the plane ticket assuming the Yankees We're gonna
win and have a parade. When the Yankees lost Game seven,
he's like, I'm going back to his home country.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
So ruined. Yeah, I believe he's a Dominican.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Dominican ruined moments in sports. We saw one last night,
you know, Russell Westbrook feels bad enough, but the fact
that he also ruined that night for Joker makes it worse.
And that's really what it comes down to. So we
gave you plenty of examples and we'll take one last

(42:07):
phone call. Now you can chime in at Covino and Ritch.
And just for the record, I've looked at my phone
eight times during the conversation realizing I don't have a phone.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Yep, Rich broke his phone today. I was like, you
know that, Yankee, hold on me, oh phone?

Speaker 1 (42:19):
All right, Uh, let's say hi to Jason and Missouri
and then Spot's got midweek major coming up.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
What's up, Jason, Thanks for hanging with Covien on Rich.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Hey for me, and don't ask me why I'm a
Seahawks fan in the middle of Missouri. But this stupid
pass play at the end of the Super Bowl when.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
You've got would dude, that would make me sick.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Listen, my team has lost a lot of dumb games,
but that, to me, Seahawks fans honestly must think about
that way more than we think.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
That really was one of the most sickening ways to
lose a game.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
It really was.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
You have Marshawn Lynch. I don't need to repeat it.
It just if you're a Seahawks fan, how do you not.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Annoyingly think of that.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
It's just a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
That's gotta be number one as far as like what's
going on. You probably still wake up.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Some days wondering if you could if that really happened.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Pete Carroll better make wiser decisions with Ashton Genty, I know.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Right, So I think that's where they're going. You know,
we gotta talk about him too, if we have time.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
This is my nightmare.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
So, by the way, he's smaller than I thought I
was looking up. He's only five nine, Danny, dude. He's
not big in stature. He's not a tall guy, but
he's built like a rotten brick, a brick.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
They in fact, they showed him at his pro day.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
He's a brick.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
You should have sawt Like people were blown away because
you know it's they're just basically in their speedos running
around and he looks like he's built out of bricks.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
All right, Well listen, we're gonna talk to some NFL
as well. M Plus, we got spots midweek major. Now
it's time for Spotty Boy, and it's Midweek Major, Covino
and Rich you over the middle of the week when mid.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
Week Major Major, Oh, I love that we.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
We definitely mature to see it. Our scoring mid Week Major.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
I'm gonna still go fast because we're gonna do the impossible.
It gives Spotty ten minutes, yes, ten minutes, all right.
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of the segment, we roll the two big
red love dice in the main studio.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, buddy, I just rolled the twelve, So Rich, I
don't know if I want to do you go for it?

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Not your day?

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Rich?

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Well, well, yeah, that means Covino's gonna get the first take.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey, Spotty Boy.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Hey guys, thanks.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Punk, How are you all right?

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Uh? So, one Atlanta Hawks fan is gonna have to
stay off his feet for a while after Tuesday night's game.
During an intermission in the Hawks versus Trailblazers game at
State Farm Arena. Two fans were invited on the court
to participate in a basketball version of Tic Tac toe.
So while one of the opponents was about to hit
a few layups before his competitor, his knee gave out

(45:13):
while he was approaching the basket. He was running up
and just like immediately went to the ground and slid down.
Fan was laying down the court clutching his knee in
pain with an apparent ACL injury. Ah my neck.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Now, I was gonnay question before Comino goes Midweek Major.
I know you get first take on this, but just
for people that don't understand, if you get a layup,
then you get to run and put an extra o down.
So it's like a race of layups because if you
get a shot that you get to.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Play Tiktac toe.

Speaker 8 (45:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
So the game, so there's urgency is there was urgent
rider right, so that he was running up slip fell.
Emergency personnel came out, had to like surround it him
on the court. The game had to be paused, like
they couldn't even continue with the game. And something that
was just supposed to be in the intermission. Even the
nearby players were just staring at this whole thing in disbelief.
The man is actually a season ticket holder. The Hawks

(46:02):
said they reached out to him, said that he's in
good spirits and expects the full recovery.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
No word on who's cover of the medical bills so.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Midweek or major major, because it brings up so many
questions like who should cover the medical bills? And that's
the Hawks in our opinion, in my opinion, but there's
so many major moments here. He's a season ticket holder.
How embarrassing like he falls and it looks like he slips, which,
in my opinion, again gives more reason for the Hawks

(46:30):
to cover these bills because I think they could be
facing potential lawsuit because he could be like, yo, I
got hurt in this game. Look on the video I slipped.
And I think it also leads to another conversation of
is it even worth it having the fans out there
on the court, Like have the unicycle person with the
balls on their head, it's just as good, Like I
think this may lead to other conversations where it's not

(46:52):
even worth it. I think it's major. Yeah, I think
the Atlanta Hawks. I think the Atlanta Hawks need to
cover one of this.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
It's all optics, right.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
You're a billion dollar franchise, you have personnel, medical teams
on staff for the players. This is a give this
guy free medical coverage. I have your people take care
of his acl on. Maybe, but maybe it is the
last we see if something specifically like this. But I
think you know, a basketball team is a great example
of someone that does have on standby on retainer. I

(47:24):
guess you would say a whole crew of medical personnel
cover this guy's bills.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
And with the little slippy dippy as I wrote that.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Slippy dippy, the fact that body said his knee gave out,
but it looks like he slips. Yeah, it looks like
there might have been some sweat or condensation. So with
that being said, Hawks cover it, do the right thing.
And I agree that there is something a little embarrassing.
It reminds me a couple of weeks ago, almost as embarrassing.
I was at a Nicks game a few weeks ago
with my buddy Tracy, and he threw up on the court.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
You're so embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
By the way rich The latest valuation the Hawks h
three point eight billion.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
You are a three point eight billion dollar company.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Essentially, Yeah, hey for the guys, going to handle it
and make it right and avoid a pr nightmare.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
Kind of a bad reflection on humanity. Though humans can
no longer step flood on a court without hurting themselves.
I know they're very slippery the game, all right, we
sooke yesterday. How Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam commented on DeShawn
Watson being a swing and amiss for the team when
they acquired him as with a five year, two hundred
and thirty million dollar contract. Well, Watson appears to have

(48:32):
fired back on social media after the comments went public
with a cryptic post on his Instagram filled with photos
of him training at the team's gym, with the caption
maybe if I weren't built for this, I'd let it
phaze me. Watson is still recovering from his torn act
lists his achilles, and nowhere on whether he'll start next season,
but Cleveland does have the second overall picked in the
in the upcoming draft, so we'll see how that plays out.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Midwek or major everything.

Speaker 8 (48:55):
Major, definitely major.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Major on every level. You got an owner talking about
a player that's still on the team. Awkward burgers, right,
You see a sense of honesty. That is refreshing because
we're not even it's refreshing and awkward.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
You're like, Wow, he's.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
Talking that kind of smack about a current player, a
player that deserves to be smack talked about, in my opinion,
so much expectation placed on him to be one of
the worst quarterbacks in the league.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
And embarrassment. Talk about embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
That's an embarrassment in itself, and then he has the
nerve to fire back. Dude, you stink everything about this
is major. I think it's major because the guy is
still on the team. But I wonder if there is
a way for Deshaun Watching to massage the situation just

(49:46):
sort of again. That's why I'm saying, I don't know, dude,
when you already have a bad reputation, like I would
just deal with it.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
I wouldn't be.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Talking back at the owner and firing back or anything
like that. He's in this position, like your money because
of a reputation that he sort of set for himself.
Collect your money, and you know, be thankful that you
sort of bamboos with everyone.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
And dude, do we love comeback stories?

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Of course?

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Hey, you know how you shut everybody up, Wow, deliver
all right.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
As you know, the A's have left Oakland as they
prepare to move to their future home in Las Vegas,
but they have their few season pit stop in Sacramento
at Sutter Health Park. Venue shares as a minor league
venue that shares it with the river Cats capacity of
fourteen thousand. Well, one feature they seem to be missing
is a bathroom for the visiting team. You may have

(50:38):
there was a clip floating around where Cubs outfielder say
A Suzuki was forced to run across the outfield. They
called it the Walk of Shame, in the Walk of
Shade in between innings to make a trip to the
bathroom because the visiting dugout is not connected to the clubhouse.
In addition, apparently the A's are gonna have to use
a metal shed to have their press conferences. So so
far things are going great in Sacramento. They lost eighteen

(50:58):
to three in their home open or Midweek or Major.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
I think it's major. These are major league ball players, right.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
You don't have these things figured out before you have
the Cubs come and visit.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
It's embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
They did work for a couple of months straight on
upgrading the stadium.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
To at least you know, have it somewhere near. You
would think bathroom would be important, But I'm just honestly like,
especially for these high profile players.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
I mean it would it would. I know, the game's
early to two hours and something twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
It would look it would look trashy, but like put
a portage out of the dug house something, grab a
metal bucket from that shed and they can go in that.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Cubs are dominating, looking really strong out there though.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Nice job spot, so we got to.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Be out first.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
But it had to go.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
It's all good.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
We're going to actually be out there on the thirteenth.
Rich and I are going just to watch a game.
I hope there's a bathroom we could.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Use, man, I hope there's a place for Francisco Indordo
drop a deuce.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
He's gotta try to cross the outfit. We know what
he's doing. Bad, all right, stick him with baseball. I'm
not everyone a fan of the torpedo bats that are
all the rage with the Yankees and is probably going
to be spreading to other teams.

Speaker 5 (52:13):
Well.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Philly's reliever Matt Strom posts on his x account, sharing
his thoughts, which just seemed to be catching win and
going viral. He said, let them use whatever they want,
but let's allow pitchers to use whatever hitters have in
the on deck circle and not check us like we're
criminals every time we walk on or off the field.
He said, I'm just a picture, but I'm assuming better
grip helps you swing harder. So he's looking for some

(52:35):
fair balance here between pitchers and hitters. He said, the
Umps conduct numerous hand checks on pitchers throughout the game
for sticky substances. He's not saying, he specifically said, not
looking to bring back some sticky stuff, but we will
still want to have that better grip, just like the batters.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Maybe major that's.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Called cheating, and everything that they did with the bat
is legal on every level. Stop comparing it with steroid
usage and anything like that. Pine tar is also a
legal substances the beginning of time with baseball, So to
all of a sudden expect pitchers to be allowed to
spider tack or pine tar or anything a farm subs

(53:15):
is on a ball just to balance out the torpedo bat.
It's just silly talk. Yeah, agreed, I think it's I
think it's weak.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
I think it's you know what, I think.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
It's a week two because there's still this misconception by
some bozos that the Yankees or anyone for that matter,
is doing anything wrong. You know who I feel bad
for the most Not the Yankees, not the creators of
the torpedo. Bet, I feel bad for all the parents
of these like over zealous travel baseball teams. Every little
kid's probably like, I need a torpedo, Bet, I need
a torpedo. You know, there's a speculation, you know how

(53:46):
they gave credit to that physicist that designed it. Let
Met Easton had a version of a torpedo bat years ago. Yeah,
the more you're seeing things, it was like under our
nose the whole time.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
All right, let's see, I mean it's in full swing,
so we'll go to March Madness. It can be quite
a time for college hoops fans, but not so great
for their relationships. I know, pretty obvious there, but in
a recent survey of one thousand couples, apparently twenty eight
percent of fans have said that fights have been started
because of the tournament, and as far to go, as
far as one sportsbook Betty bet Us is offering the

(54:22):
College Basketball Championship twenty twenty five. Prenuptial agreement might be
a bit late for that, but the Hoops and Harmony
contract has couples decide how many games they are allowed
to watch. Each party has to agree to coordinate viewing schedules,
prioritize shared activities and responsibilities, and apparently, among the gen
Z range, which is eighteen to twenty four, they one
in four have said they've thought about ending their relationship

(54:45):
because of the tournament. Twenty six percent of couples say
that watching habits sports watching habits are a relationship deal breaker,
and people and how they feel neglected during games, and
twenty four percent of men are unwilling to budge on
their viewing habits.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
So not in a great time for dating.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Midwek er major Well, in the grand scheme of relationships,
it's major, But I think the story's kind of midky
because I think young people, you said, from the ages
of eighteen to twenty four, they're willing to break up
over anything.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
The relationships don't matter. Yeah, they're so fickle.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
If someone blows their nose the wrong way, they have
to move on because they can't get past it. So
I'm not surprised by this. No, this is weak saus
first of all.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Yeah, but it is major that relationships can't withstand anything.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
If you're fighting over every March mad this game and
guess what, get a life.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Honestly, get a life.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
I do think you have to date someone a full
calendar year before you marry.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
Them, because I think you do need to see their habits.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
But how about this, when you're like vetting someone to date, Hey,
do you like March Madness? Do you like sports? They
say yes, Then that's a good starting point.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Yeah, Ashton Genty, I want to put that conversation off
till tom because the draft is in three weeks. In
the meantime, you check out Ashton Genty and see how
how stacked this dude is as five foot nine full
of muscle, as Danny and others have described the possible
speed of a McCaffrey with the muscles of a DK metcalf.

(56:15):
So we'll talk draft and some prospects tomorrow. And again
the rumor is Raiders Ray.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Yeah, well, the story was about the general manager's son
and what he said.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Yeah, well, we'll get to that tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
I don't want to rush that, but in honor of
the late great Val Kilmer, quit just go around the room.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
And when I say Val.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Kilmer, I thought it was interesting that every obituary led
with something different, Like the New York Times Kilmer coma Batman,
you know, the New York Post about have said top Gun.
Someone else said, you know, for playing Jim Morrison. When
I say Val Kilmer, what do you.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Think of man? I think Iceman, top Gun. That's like
to me, his.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Most famous role was in Tombstone personally, but I think
of The Doors because it was always crazy uncanny for
me to see not only the performance, but just how
much he looked like Jim Morrison and became Jim Morrison.
Like he looked more like Jim Marrison than Jim Morrison
to me, Like when I think of that Doors poster
and album cover, I think of Val Kilmer's face about

(57:15):
I hate to say this, I've never seen that movie. Yeah,
he did a great job to me. To me, I
think Iceman, and I think how even when he was
sick at the end, he was in the new Top
Gun Maverick movie and he had a pretty cool moment
there with Tom Cruise. So I think Iceman, and I
also think Batman.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
I think of him as an action star. Actually, late
eighties a movie we had on a VHS tape that
we wore out Willow Oh No, that's right.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Loron Anything Come to My Field, Heat and the Saints.

Speaker 4 (57:45):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Shoe, great movie, So many great movies.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
I want to go way.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Back, the film Real Genius, good one where he was
in college. He was like a smart guy. The guy
from White Lotus is in that movie. Sorry, yeah, what
you got saying with Michael Douglas, The Ghost and the Darkness,
excellent movie.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
See that Man's so many and if you want to
chime in with yours, hit us up at covene on Rich.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
We actually posted a picture of us with him.

Speaker 4 (58:09):
All Right, we'll see you tomorrow. I'll read it.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
There you baby, Are you in the Promised Land?

Speaker 4 (58:11):
God bye,
