00:02:43
Speaker 1: It's funny would say that we're a word. There is no tomorrow.

00:02:47
Speaker 2: We're clearly on the same wavelength because brain wave, I was gonna say, when you call up with your order of the Rocky movies, Yeah, throwing your favorite line too, because I was I was just laughing at how about Pauli?

00:02:59
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't you Pauli is the guy that.

00:03:02
Speaker 2: You like snow cones? Poly Polli likes snow cones absolutely, hey, poly with snow cones. I think my favorite line is when Rocky finally made some money in Rocky two and Gazo remember the mobster guy Gazo. Yeah, he worked for Gazo said hey, rock you got some money, now, why don't you invest in some condominiums?

00:03:24
Speaker 1: And Rocky goes to be honest. I I'll use them to be honest. That to me. Yeah, just to find the innocent, lovable character.

00:03:33
Speaker 2: That Rocky about is speaking of Gazo, much like when when Adrian dropped their hat, and like in that moment, Rocky so dumbin innis.

00:03:40
Speaker 1: It was like, where's your hut? How about this?

00:03:42
Speaker 2: This is something I found out maybe five six years ago and we loved and talked about Rocky films our whole life.

00:03:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: In Rocky Won the original, he's working for Gazo. And remember one of Gazo's other goons gets into a tussle with rock and he's like, hey, Adrian, why don't you take it to the zoo? Do you remember what he says about people who like the zoo? He said something very he says something politically incorrect. There you go, let's just say than the zoo. Let's just say Gazo's other goon in the mob set take Adrian to the zoo.

00:04:19
Speaker 1: Let's just people with special needs love the zoo.

00:04:22
Speaker 2: Now, wait a few years when Rocky two comes out, where does this start and where does he take Adrian.

00:04:29
Speaker 1: To the zoo? He takes it to the zoo and he gets engaged with mister Tiger there.

00:04:33
Speaker 2: So what does Rocky really think of Adrian, that's a whole weird like what that's like the longest punchline, the longest joke that ever was?

00:04:42
Speaker 1: So your favorite parts. But here's the real question.

00:04:46
Speaker 2: Much like snowflakes, much like your favorite Tom Hanks movies, when it comes to the same ranking your top we'll say top four in the Rocky for franchise, and we're including Creed.

00:05:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, Creed one, two, and three. Rich All the lists I looked up on the internet included the Creed.

00:05:11
Speaker 1: The top Creed movies.

00:05:14
Speaker 5: Uh.

00:05:15
Speaker 2: Now, to remind people Creed, the first one is when he realizes, you know, he introduced himself to Rocky. Remember he wins.

00:05:24
Speaker 4: And the second one he finds out who his dad was, yees.

00:05:27
Speaker 2: Second one was dragos Son. Third one was when Michael B. Jordan's Creed.

00:05:34
Speaker 1: Fights his buddy who got locked up for him.

00:05:37
Speaker 2: Yeah right, because he used to listen to Ye Yeah, Yeah, and Jail. They were all really, really good. But I guess I'll kick it off Cavino here. We want to know your top four and your favorite lines. Man, I got so many favorite lines from Rocky I'm still trying to think of my favorite. I'm sorry, I'm changing off topic midstream five because with the Creed movies in your top five movies, because I think I need to throw like four doesn't do it, top five?

00:06:05
Speaker 1: Give me five? All right, I got my fire. It does sound good.

00:06:07
Speaker 2: Go ahead again on this day. This is when Rocky came out in New York City. It didn't come out worldwide until December, but this is what people started buzzing about. Rocky one is number one. That's my number one. So I'm ranking them.

00:06:24
Speaker 1: I mean hard, number one.

00:06:26
Speaker 2: Hard to argue an Academy Award winning film, but I don't agree. But I'm not doing it like a countdown style. It's my number one. Start with number one. Rocky four is my number two. And the only reason it's not my number one is because it's sillier than the first one. The first one was dark and gritty and grimy and won an Academy Award. Like you said, it's like a it started at all. But Rocky four to me, was the most fun. For example, let me give you an analogy real quick. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom wasn't the best one, but it was the most fun of all of them. And that's how I feel about living in America. You know he fights in Russia on Christmas Day. Rocky four, to me is the most exciting, most fun of all of them. So he gets rich and he has the robot. So number four is my second one. Okay, Rocky two is number three for me. Okay, Rocky three is number four for me. So it's one four to two three. You had Thunderlips and clubber lang. You have something too, had to come from prediction pain. Okay, So I got one four two three, one four to two three, And I really have an unpopular opinion here. I think really enjoy Rocky Balboa. I did because it was like the full arc of the character Adrian Dies, Rocky Balboa, Mason, the line Dixon.

00:08:01
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good.

00:08:02
Speaker 6: Men.

00:08:02
Speaker 2: It was sad, and that's why people don't like it. It was sad, but it was real. I liked it a lot, man. I love I love your list one four, two three six is Cavino one two three, one four two three six.

00:08:15
Speaker 5: Okay.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: I hate that I'm leaving Balboa off my list because I really enjoy Rocky six.

00:08:23
Speaker 1: Rocky bat there with the with the at the cemetery with his with the chair, the chair.

00:08:29
Speaker 2: That's great, and that's a lending you said a kid. Life's not all soon. Shining Rainbow had a great speech. But here's my list. I'll do it you that I saw start at the top, unpopular opinion, the best Rocky part two, and I'll explain why, the most montages. Adrian's in the coma, and the best line of any Rocky movie is in the second one, the best little sequence.

00:09:00
Speaker 1: Iowa, Sam, go ahead.

00:09:02
Speaker 7: If you don't want me mixing with Creed no more, We'll make out some other kind of way.

00:09:08
Speaker 8: In though, there's one thing I want you to do for me.

00:09:13
Speaker 1: I got chills.

00:09:16
Speaker 9: Win waiting.

00:09:25
Speaker 1: Man, and you know what the best there is.

00:09:26
Speaker 2: They use that at all the stadiums, get everybody fired us. You know what that made me think of? Though in the original Rocky I had with his whole place stinks.

00:09:37
Speaker 5: Stinks all right.

00:09:38
Speaker 2: So I just feel like there's multiple amazing training montages Adrian and the coma just win everything about Rocky two. He does when he finally takes Apollo Creed, not the distance, he wins the fight. So I go Rocky to my second favorite Rocky movie. Much like Cavino, just a pure entertainment value of Russia and Drago, James Brown and Apollo dies.

00:10:10
Speaker 1: Rocky four is my second favorite. Then I'm going number one.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: It's crazy to put the first original at number three, but I watched it recently and I love it. But it's something so seventies and timely and awesome about it.

00:10:23
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful movie. Fly Now masterful.

00:10:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying it's three just because I'm not keeping it on one hundred percent of the time. If i'm if I find it the other ones, I will Number four Creed two, the nostalgia of Drago and his son fighting Creed trained by Rockey. The nostalgia is off the hook?

00:10:50
Speaker 1: Are you're going? Creed two?

00:10:51
Speaker 4: In there?

00:10:51
Speaker 1: Creed two?

00:10:52
Speaker 5: Wow?

00:10:52
Speaker 1: And number five.

00:10:55
Speaker 2: As much as I love mister t and as much as I love Hulk Hogan Rest in Peace.

00:11:00
Speaker 1: It was the cheesiest and Mickey dies.

00:11:02
Speaker 2: That was emotion, and Rocky is moping and crying out of the Rocky Rocky three is is number five?

00:11:12
Speaker 5: Shut out going, man, I ain't going no where. I wanted to tell all these nights folks, why you've been ducking meat?

00:11:16
Speaker 1: I always hey. They they had to calm thunder Lips in that movie. Yeah, so my.

00:11:20
Speaker 2: List my top five Rocky two, Rocky four, the o G, Rocky one, Creed two, and then Rocky three.

00:11:28
Speaker 1: I'm leaving leaving a few off there. Can I share something? I'm sorry?

00:11:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was just gonna share something real quick about Creed. I thought it was a little strange the first one. So Sylvester Stallone has all these chats with Michael B. Jordan is restaurant and it's like daytime, night time. The restaurant never has people in it. It's always vacant. I always thought that was strange, Like it's always like these heartart chats, but there's like no one eating in the restaurant.

00:11:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw in theaters saying Rocky's food is weak.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: You saying Adrian's restaurant because it was named Adrians. You said it doesn't have a good chicken palm or something.

00:11:56
Speaker 1: I'm just saying maybe it was a front for something.

00:11:58
Speaker 5: Now you know it was like, you know, the economy, So yeah, yeah, yeah's true.

00:12:03
Speaker 1: Anyone else want to throw their list out there? Danny K What you got? Man?

00:12:06
Speaker 5: All right? Five for me?

00:12:08
Speaker 4: Rocky two, that's your fifth favorite? Are you going Okay, I go five to one here. Retirement made you soft. Number four for me Creed three. Saw it at the theater with Brenda, and when we walked out, she said, I think I've seen all the Rocky movies with you now.

00:12:23
Speaker 5: That was my favorite. And Rotten Potatoes agrees. They give it like an eighty nine. Damn.

00:12:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's your number four. Yeah, three is really good. Maybe to rewatch it. I think I've only seen it one time, so maybe I need to rewatch.

00:12:34
Speaker 5: You know.

00:12:34
Speaker 2: The beauty about the Creeds though we're not like sick of them by any means, Like I could watch any of them right now, like you said, And yeah, and I feel like it's the first time again.

00:12:43
Speaker 4: I'm a little biased because I love the Creed movies. Number three for me, though Rocky four wore that VHS tape out as a kid.

00:12:49
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:12:50
Speaker 4: Number two Creed Wow, Yeah, that just I mean everything that we talked about so far, with Michael B. Jordan's performance, Yeah, and he moves to Philly and just that whole movie Matt had me.

00:13:05
Speaker 5: You know, they are great.

00:13:06
Speaker 2: And for the record, yeah, I want everyone to know we're all fans of all of them.

00:13:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, that whole Creed movie had me hyped up. And then number one, I gotta go og Rocky from nineteen seventy six where it all started.

00:13:18
Speaker 5: None of this would be possible, you.

00:13:20
Speaker 1: Know what, Danny g I'll say this.

00:13:22
Speaker 5: All I want to do is go the distance.

00:13:24
Speaker 2: Even the worst, even the worst Rocky year Creed movie, isn't that bad. People love to take a big dump on Rocky five, right, like Rocky five stinks Tommy Gunn, George Washington Duke. I'll tell you what that's because his son was extra annoying in that movie, you know, rest in Peace. I say that respectfully. But it wasn't any didn't fight and Stallone didn't. That was the one that I think what the same people were not behind it. But it wasn't as bad as we remember. I saw it maybe within the last five years, and I'm like, you know what, it was a bad I think if he had fought Tommy Gunn in the ring instead of that weak ass like go for it, like fight, I think we would have liked it more. I really do. Rocky five wasn't that terrible. I'm with you, though, it's not that bad. I remember it. It's the worst of all these great movies. Yeah, it's not that bad at all. And you know what, one of the ways I knew my wife was the one besides, you're gonna tell that story on Fox Sports Radio.

00:14:18
Speaker 1: Oh no, another reason? Oh another res Oh okay, I was like, damn.

00:14:22
Speaker 2: Besides the first time I got with her, I was like, oh my god, holy moment, I'm out at my league.

00:14:28
Speaker 1: Jesus.

00:14:29
Speaker 2: No, besides that, besides looking in the mirror and saying, is this true? No, When I was at work one day my wife was visiting me when I was living in New York. We were dating and she had not seen any of the Rocky movies. And I jokingly said, like, how on earth have you not seen the Rocky movies? And I'm joking, was like, I don't know if I could date you. She's like, all right, I'll watch the first one. My wife, when I was at work, popped in This is DVD times. We're talking late twenty twenty Ten's right, popped in Rocky One throughout the day, binge them all because she got into it and loved them all.

00:15:03
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I think I love this woman. Wait, but you didn't watch with her?

00:15:05
Speaker 2: No? She was she was at work all day. She was visiting in New York homework, but didn't want to see her face when she watched him. I saw her face with the other thing a right, Like you know what, can I give a fun fact? And if you're a fan, this is common knowledge. But in the first one, he meets Adrian at the pet store and everything. It's Pollie's sister.

00:15:28
Speaker 3: Are you hungry?

00:15:29
Speaker 1: How about that turkey scene? That was a weird scene. Remember she's busted.

00:15:34
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he calls Adrian, Uh, Paulie has a batty Leo Paully's Christmas time. It was like, you know, when you're I'm wearing my sweater, absolutely what's going on? You know, we joke about how like on social media they pointed out like Zach Morris's trash and certain characters are like Pollie, remember how it was like, you know, Ralph macchia was the bad guy and it was actually, you know, Paulie was so flawed man. Like you know, we always talk about how maybe John Lawrence was right. Yeah, and Daniel Arus's Huck Paully did nothing but get in the way. Rocky did everything to help this guy. But he loved Rocky though that he did. He did love Rocky, loved him, but he wished he could be him. He was, he was drunk. He lost Rockies millions. He you know, I just so Paullie. He knew Adrian through Paulie. He'd go see Adrian at the pet store. Remember he buys cuff and Link. Yeah, he's my turtles, Cuff and Link. He's feeding cuff and Link. He has those turtles till this day. So the movie came out on this day in nineteen seventy six. He still has those turtles. True story, look it up.

00:16:43
Speaker 10: So he had to he had to sell his dog to finance the film. But then he's got the turtles from the film. He's got the turtles from honor of his dog.

00:16:50
Speaker 1: Still he bought the dog back.

00:16:51
Speaker 5: Oh good.

00:16:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was actually really bumming me out.

00:16:54
Speaker 4: With doesn't want to make you like love him that much more like he's got to be one of our favorite actors of all time.

00:17:00
Speaker 2: Let me give you another awesome fun fact about stallone. Yo absolutely came out on this day. Stallone stayed true to his formula. Carl Weathers was a football player. He's a raider. Danny j You know that His formula was, there's a lot of charismatic athletes that deserve a shot and deserve a chance. Hey, I deserve a shot, absolutely, And he got his shot. He gave Carl Weathers the shot. He knew that was Apollo Creed the minute he met him.

00:17:24
Speaker 5: You know the story.

00:17:25
Speaker 2: But he stood with that formula for every single movie, including the Expendables. He brings real fighters and real athletes into his universe, and that's something.

00:17:35
Speaker 1: He's stayed true to all those years.

00:17:38
Speaker 2: You know, Mike, get us up in Kentucky, and he said, for all the times you've quoted all those stupid Rocky commercials like yo smell manly, remember like he did the Beast after shave and all that. All those funny Rocky scenes were Part two when he was Remember, he was like he was trying to make a buck.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: After after his fame. So even those little.

00:17:56
Speaker 2: Comedic scenes where Rocky couldn't read those Part two when you had that stupid rubber nose on. Let's uh, where do you want to start, Danny Jay? You tell me, let's start with Roger and Tacoma.

00:18:06
Speaker 1: Roger, what's up? Roger?

00:18:08
Speaker 9: Hey, how are you doing?

00:18:09
Speaker 1: What's u?

00:18:09
Speaker 5: Buddy?

00:18:09
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, let me say this unequivocally, Rocky Balbo is the greatest cinematic character of my lifetime.

00:18:17
Speaker 1: I couldn't disagree.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: And by the way, the biopic is making news today because they just filmed the Ippolito guy. What's his name something Ippolito.

00:18:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

00:18:26
Speaker 2: They just filmed his scene of running up the steps in Philadelphia and it's all over the place.

00:18:31
Speaker 5: That was on GMZ.

00:18:32
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean, I don't think you could care for a character more than people care for Rocky Balbo. Sure, well, I'm going to give you my five.

00:18:41
Speaker 11: I have a hard time splitting one and two because they're both equally as important. I think I'm going to give it the two because it had more of the one liners that you all remember and more of the comedy, and it was better scripted. But one introduce you to the character of Rocky Balboa. And so it's really hard for me to take one and not put it at one, but I'm going to do it.

00:19:02
Speaker 7: But by a hair uh.

00:19:04
Speaker 6: And then now I'm gonna go.

00:19:05
Speaker 11: With three at three and I'm probably gonna I'm not a huge Rocky four fan like many other people, so I'm gonna go with Rocky Balboa at four good ones because I got emotional.

00:19:17
Speaker 6: I don't know about you guys, didn't you get emotional when he's what.

00:19:21
Speaker 1: Do you call him? We're gonna hit him with uh like not thunderbombs? What do you call? I gotta look it up that I forget now.

00:19:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I mean I because we see the arc of the character and it was like, this is the end of Rocky about Boa and I almost start crying.

00:19:37
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:19:37
Speaker 11: You know that's how much you start to care about skid. But as far as the one liners, he had many, most of them into but I'm gonna give you a couple of them.

00:19:43
Speaker 6: First one is when.

00:19:44
Speaker 11: The report said do you have anything drogatory to say about the Champan to rock Yeah, he's great.

00:19:49
Speaker 2: You know.

00:19:50
Speaker 6: That was a great one.

00:19:52
Speaker 11: An underrated one was when he's talking to Adrian when she didn't want him to take a fight.

00:19:56
Speaker 3: He says, Adrian, I never asked you the stuff being a woman. Please please don't ask me stop being a man, and.

00:20:05
Speaker 1: So that one ones.

00:20:08
Speaker 11: So yeah, anyway, rocking about fantastic.

00:20:10
Speaker 6: I just I love him as much as you guys love that.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: That's great here man do we agree that the greatest montage is there's no wee zoo way out. That's the best man. But he's in his car and he's looking through the rear view. Remember one was it hurting bombs? Ah right, No, No, it wasn't Mick. It was the it was the black dude, the trainer that was in every movie, Duke Duke. Remember, he's like, we're gonna hit him with boss, allright, Mike and Fresno, it's not Mikey, Mike, heybody.

00:20:39
Speaker 7: I was born in seventy two, so Rocky was prime childhood for me. So slipping the video disc in on saday, having to put it back in to flip it over the side B and then putting those u upper gloves on when the movie was over, and going outside and beating.

00:20:56
Speaker 9: The crap out of your friends.

00:20:59
Speaker 12: You know, prime childhood.

00:21:01
Speaker 2: You know you have one of those you know those those those bouncy punching things you had. I had one of Rocky balbo one on the other it was either like.

00:21:09
Speaker 5: To blow up, come back up?

00:21:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, know I had a Yeah. What's your favorite one?

00:21:15
Speaker 5: Mike?

00:21:16
Speaker 6: All right?

00:21:16
Speaker 7: So my favorite is going to be number two after that is number three after that is number Uh. I gotta I gotta go, I gotta take it back do number one, you know what I mean. Then I'll go uh you know uh more and then uh Rocky uh uh, I gotta go Rocky as my fifth.

00:21:39
Speaker 12: But you know what, it's a favorite line. Yeah, my favorite line.

00:21:42
Speaker 1: Is just a single word to win.

00:21:44
Speaker 7: Because when you guys played that when she said that, I get the chills every single time.

00:21:49
Speaker 2: Great spot makes one of me because I almost like want to shed a tear with during that scene. It's so emotional when when Adrian, because you know, Rocky says we'll find another way, and in that moment, Adrian realizes I married a fighter. He's gonna fight like you know, It's amazing to see the arc of the character though. It really is, And that's why I'm excited about the biopic and and how they made it because Sylvester Stone really is his story.

00:22:15
Speaker 1: You know, he's the underdog. He made it happen. He became a superstar.

00:22:19
Speaker 2: What about what about We're talking about all the great scenes with Adrian and Rocky. What about I'm afraid, right, I'm afraid? When he was afraid?

00:22:26
Speaker 1: Oh so good of.

00:22:29
Speaker 2: Lang and I think this is common knowledge if you're a fan like we are. He was at the Muhammad Ali fight when Chuck Webner went the distance. So the whole premise was based on the bayone bleeder. Chuck Webner going the distance.

00:22:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what.

00:22:43
Speaker 1: Crazy Kamed Ali.

00:22:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know, Muhammed Ali cherry picked this dude and his dude, like you know, it was supposed to be an easy fight. And Webner. The debate is did he really knock him down or did Ali slip? But it appears he slipped, and he was aspired to write this underdog story but to see how how down on his luck he was in the first one, to where he's a ripped, shredded heavyweight champion superstar by the you know, by the fourth one especially, I mean, and then he loses it all again by the fifth one. It's just crazy to see. It's a great, great series. We'll take the rest of your feedback and we are going to dive into some NFL.

00:26:18
Speaker 1: Sam, do you see this bad boell?

00:26:19
Speaker 10: Yes, I've seen it before, but i've uh oh, that's yeah. That has to do with the Rocky films.

00:26:26
Speaker 2: It's the silhouette of the haircut of all Rocky's opponents.

00:26:30
Speaker 5: There you go.

00:26:32
Speaker 2: Rocky's hair was the poofiest. His hair was the poofiest and Rocky three oh yeah, he had major eighties poofy. Yeah, yeah, he did, no doubt. Fun fact, since we're talking about it, Rocky Balbo came out on this day, old school and fifty hits came out on this day in the premiere. The premiere worldwide in December, so we're ranking our favorites. Ken Norton, the actual professional boxer, was supposed to be Apollo Creed and he dropped out. Carl Weathers came in, and then Carl weather said something about he would have done better if there was a real actor playing Sylvester Sloan. He didn't know that Sylvester Sloan was the writer and gonna be playing Run. And that's when Stallone goes, oh, he's perfect, Yeah, yeah, because he wanted that. Muhammad Ali he was arrogant guy and man, just the chemistry everything about it. Such a great franchise and I feel blessed to have watched it and lived it with you guys. Yep, let's do three quickies that will go to Monzi for an upday. We'll get back into some NFL. Let's start with our buddy Trip in Vegas.

00:27:33
Speaker 3: Hey Trip, Hey, gentlemen, I got a great story of Alvalboa, so it would go to Valboa one and then three. But when that's but when Valboa premiered, they hit the premiere here in Las Vegas, and my boy's wife ran the uh, she ran the events and the Aladdin, so we got all access passes. So we went to the premiere with the movie.

00:27:54
Speaker 13: With the cast. Then they did the actual red carpet with the time.

00:28:00
Speaker 3: I'm on crutches.

00:28:01
Speaker 13: I had booked my foot in a basketball game. We're on the red carpet with Tommy Hearns. We're right behind Rocky, and people like who is this guy?

00:28:10
Speaker 6: Who is that guy?

00:28:10
Speaker 13: And then we get to the after party and I was like, you know, oh, I got hurt during casting. I'm a small role. It was the craziest night though, to be on the actual red carpet.

00:28:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I loved about Balboa Rocky six the fact that they very much made it feel like an HBO pay per view fight like they updated We're like, you know in the seventies and eighties, they were more like movie fight scenes.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: They made Rocky Balboa.

00:28:35
Speaker 2: They broke out all the people, you know, from Jim Lampley to Max Kellerman and you know, remember they would have like you know, ESPN and Fox on TV.

00:28:44
Speaker 4: Oh, hearing Lampley talk about the movies when he was being interviewed by you guys in Vegas, that was awesome.

00:28:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean It's just it was a special one. I agree. All right, ron in Rochester, what's up, Ronnie?

00:28:54
Speaker 9: Hey, you guys. I got two stories of head apartment in New York City and I was running now and this guy up the city one in partments for his daughter. And Bert Young showed up my door. He looked really good. I took him out to my balcony overlooking the river. He's like this jus spectacular, but he.

00:29:10
Speaker 3: Never took it.

00:29:11
Speaker 9: But then in ninety six, I was in Atlanta at the Golden Gym getting to work out in Deulph. Lungan was there and I'm six two. He's not even close to six two.

00:29:18
Speaker 2: By the way, you know, not to get all pervy on you guys. Do you know who hangs out and they like they're hot and they work out together. Have you seen Dolph's daughter and I believe Van Dam's daughter are friends and they're like two hotties that are like fitness buddies.

00:29:35
Speaker 1: No, you creep? Well, you know what after you creep?

00:29:38
Speaker 5: We were talking about Bert Young.

00:29:39
Speaker 2: Well, hold on spot for the I was about to say, Bert Young, out of all the people in the film, was an actual boxer. PAULI was a boxer, had a military boxing record. Queens Yeah, thirty two and two. Man, he was the real fighter of all. For the people that are smart enough to watch, uh to watch here on our YouTube page, Spot, can you put up a picture real quick of Drago's daughter and van Dam's daughter together?

00:30:02
Speaker 1: Thank you?

00:30:02
Speaker 5: Spot put a photo of Burt Young and stuff big exactly?

00:30:07
Speaker 1: Wrap it up. Prince in Tampa, what's up?

00:30:11
Speaker 7: All right?

00:30:12
Speaker 12: You guys are gonna laugh, You guys are gonna have a good time with it. I have never seen any rocky movie?

00:30:20
Speaker 3: Oh not even Creed.

00:30:21
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, that's great because wait where are you from? A Prince in Tampa? Man, which one would you recommend him to want? It's interesting Creed, Creed, Prince, how old are you?

00:30:33
Speaker 11: Uh?

00:30:34
Speaker 12: Thirty two?

00:30:35
Speaker 1: Thirty two? Not that it matters to you. White guy, A black guy, black guy, black guy.

00:30:40
Speaker 2: I feel like the Creed movies are really contemporary and any of them can watch them, but I feel like they really do have a they have a different field, they have a different feel to them. A very great and Michael B. Jordan's like a freaking awesome leading male.

00:30:52
Speaker 1: I'm able. Could you appreciate those without knowing the original characters know.

00:30:55
Speaker 2: What Prince again, race Creed pun intended. None of this matters. I think Creed pun ated.

00:31:03
Speaker 5: You like that.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: Go back and watch all of them, dude, I feel like you'll love them. And the Creed movies are almost like updated with more of an urban lean to them.

00:31:11
Speaker 1: And they're so good as well. You know what I'm learning from this. They know what they've done, Prince.

00:31:15
Speaker 2: They took the Rocky soundtrack and honestly they took those old themes and training montages and sort of put a hip hop twist to it.

00:31:23
Speaker 12: Yeah, in Creed watch the Rocky movies and it worked my way.

00:31:28
Speaker 5: To create all right, man, let this be a warning.

00:31:30
Speaker 2: The original, the one that won the Academy Award that came out on this day.

00:31:34
Speaker 1: It is slow and is gritty, and it's very seven.

00:31:37
Speaker 2: I must feel like I want Prince to check in once a week having watched one a week.

00:31:42
Speaker 5: I like this. It's like giving you a homework assignment, Prince.

00:31:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, Prince, I feel like you know when you want to when you try to show your girlfriend or wife like a movie she's ever seen. I feel like Prince and I are new pals and like all right, Prince, next week, call back with your review of the first let us know when you watch the first one, and keep in mind that it is slower than the rest, but it's a different time and it's a different style of movie. All right, enjoy, Thanks for to call. And what I'm learning from all this is when you include the Creeds, it's it's an even more difficult discussion.

00:32:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, what's upside with Sammy?

00:32:12
Speaker 10: So this is this is sort of running with a prince on the line there watching them. Sequentially, there's actually a scene from Saved by the Bell where a c. Slater is dating Jesse Spano and I think they have a bet between each other and if she loses, he's like, you gotta watch Rocky one through five, And like, I swear that's a line right out of the show, is it really? And Psyche you guys, you know you obviously have the Mario Lopez doppelganger kind of thing going.

00:32:35
Speaker 1: So it's funny.

00:32:35
Speaker 10: There wasn't actually a scene where he says you gotta watch the Rocky movies one through five.

00:32:38
Speaker 5: It's fun?

00:32:39
Speaker 1: How fun with that? Mama?

00:32:40
Speaker 5: All right?

00:32:41
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Mancy Manzi you're a Rocky fan at all. I feel like you've set this one out.

00:32:46
Speaker 8: I did sit this, so now I've seen the first one, I think. So my brothers watched them, and I watched my brothers watch them, but I they did not resonate with me.

00:32:57
Speaker 2: Well, you know you're you're also younger, you're like in your thirties. Yeah, you know that some old bitty I'm not.

00:33:01
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were, you.

00:33:03
Speaker 2: Were born after most of them came out, so that might be a factor as well.

00:33:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think at the time, like I said, I think it's a boy movie. Not that I wouldn't enjoy it, but I do think that it was a boy movie. Like my brothers were watching it, and you know, I never went back to to.

00:33:16
Speaker 4: Give it a go, but off the air, I was telling her that Creed could work for her because that's not so much a quote unquote boy movie.

00:33:24
Speaker 8: Think the time it was you know what I'm saying.

00:33:26
Speaker 1: When it first came.

00:33:27
Speaker 8: Out, I think it was pushed for boys.

00:33:30
Speaker 2: You know, I know what you're saying. Yeah, some idiots would be like thing as a boy or girl movie. But I know what you're saying, It's a boxing movie.

00:33:37
Speaker 8: And the like I saw a million dollar baby it was about but there was a girl, you know what, Like I feel like, yeah, so I did not have much to say, but I'm glad for you guys that you enjoyed it.

00:33:46
Speaker 1: It's a great secrets. Did you look up Brandon for me?

00:33:49
Speaker 8: Yeah?

00:33:50
Speaker 1: I don't have good news for you.

00:33:52
Speaker 8: It's it seems as though like nobody wants to really say anything. And there's a forty nine Ers insider that's like the Kyle Shanahan has not said that he's not not coming back, but they.

00:34:05
Speaker 1: Don't think he's coming back this year.

00:34:07
Speaker 8: So they did not open his window, which they could have this week, and they didn't, And so there's an inside who's just kind of like it doesn't seem like it's good news.

00:34:16
Speaker 1: Geez, sad, I'm sorry.

00:34:17
Speaker 2: I was, you know, I was thinking for some like late season, like oh wow, it's almost like picking up a cool player later in the year.

00:34:24
Speaker 1: But I no.

00:34:26
Speaker 8: I UK Week twelve kicksoffs soon, guys. It's the Texans and the Bills at a fifteen Eastern time. It seems as though wide receiver Keon Coleman, who was a healthy scratch last week because he missed a meeting is going to be a healthy scratch again for tonight's game. Also, I ha's been an NFL Network reported that Texan's running back Joe Mixon is not expected to return this season because of his foot injury. This has prompted Mixon himself to quote tweet and say, now, I get everyone's looking for splash news and clickbait, but I'm just curious Ian from NFL Network, how do you know more about me than me? So that's I don't that's the latest on that one. Joe Burrow a full participant for a second straight day. Colts have added Daniel Jones to their injury report with a calf injury. Packer's running back Josh Jacobs return to practice as a limited participant with that knee injury. NBA News King Star center Demonta Savona suffered a partially tormentiscus and his left knee.

Speaker 1: He's going to be reevaluated in three to four weeks.

Speaker 8: You one last story in two seconds. So apparently Cowboys wide receivers d Lamb and George Pickens missed the first series against the Raiders on Monday because they missed curfew after having dinners and drinks at Red Rock Casino. Social media has come out and uncovered this information, and apparently Lamb was seen vomiting at seven thirty am on Monday.

00:36:14
Speaker 1: But he has denied that he was throwing up.

00:36:17
Speaker 8: They said it's even disrespect to suggests that because he knows how to hold his liquor. Calvin Watkins, who covers Dallas Cowboys for the Dallas News, has that details.

00:36:24
Speaker 2: That was an interesting story, Monzee, because we did wonder where like it must have been some type of internal discipline that the two star receivers were sitting out the first series and they.

00:36:32
Speaker 8: Didn't say anything after the game. But social media has found this information perfect.

00:36:36

00:38:08
Speaker 1: Now, Rich get this.

00:38:12
Speaker 2: You keep listening to Mancy and Perfet and Dan Meyern, you keep hearing about all these injuries. We talked about football, how no team is really dominant, inconsistencies, injuries big part of that. Yeah, Well, just teams that there's a lot of teams that we thought would be dominant that miss are missing pieces. But the NBA, you know, we talked a lot about Lebron this week. Austin reeves, this is staggering the number of NBA stars that are currently out with injury staggering and needs to be pointed out. You hear them in the updates, but when you hear them collectively, you're like, no way, give me a list, read me a laundry list of NBA All Stars. When you hear them altogether, it's a different story. Kyrie Irving, acl Anthony Davis, Caff, Jannis Groin, Jalen Brunson Ankle, when benam Calf, Joel Embiid Knee Tatum, Jason Tatum, Achilles, John Morant, Calf, Jalen Williams Wrist, Leonard Kawhi, Leonard Ankle, Lillard Achilles, Trey Young, Knee, Bonchero Groin, Halliburton Achilles, out of bio toe, Drew Holliday, Calf, Sibonus. You heard Manci talking about it, Knie Murray, Achilles, Tyler Hero Ankle, Zion Williamson, Hamstring. It's like these are big, They're not just random people. These are superstars of the NBA, the biggest names in the NBA all out with injury.

00:39:36
Speaker 1: It's in sane.

00:39:38
Speaker 5: Oh you forgot Kawhi, Leonard fraud.

00:39:40
Speaker 2: By the way, Danny, he just named like twenty all stars. Yeah, everyone killing on the name, I think. And by the way, the exception of one might have been an All Star at some point in their NBA career. There's there's a new person added like every two minutes. So that's just as of right now. It's insane. So you got to point that out. We were talking about all the NFL injuries, what gives and what gives in the NBA. You know, my theory, my theory that you guys all make fun of me for, is that we have evolved as humans. We're bigger and stronger and faster than ever before. But you know what hasn't changed, like what a ligament is capable of, and and when you are that when you're making these fast twitch movements and you're moving at the size and speed guys that are six six two hundred something pounds of muscle and speed, our human body is just maybe not capable of sustaining how quickly we play spats sort over that level of explosiveness, the explosive moves, but your body and your tendons can't handle your You can't strengthen your tendons like that.

00:40:46
Speaker 5: I bet you if Reebok pumps came back some of these injuries.

00:40:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, solution, it's really funny. I thought that's a solution. And by the way, there's so many other names too. I didn't even get to like Nesmith and Brawn and Castle. And it's insane what gifts. Over promise we'll get to all the stuff we didn't get to, So hang tight, more convene on Rich until then

00:41:04
Speaker 1: I'll read it there she maybe see you in the over promised lamb oh
