00:00:39
Speaker 2: I We got Danny g on the phones at eighty seven to seven ninety nine on Fox Iowa, Sam doing his thing, pressing buttons. The sound architect of the show. He's a sound specialist. We got Spot on the videos getting ready for midweek Major dB, the consummate professional with your updates. Mike's hanging out and we be rocking out.

00:00:59
Speaker 1: Let's go.

00:01:00
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna get to Mike's I know you are, But what am I in a few seconds but a nerd? I did want to take a few phone calls and read some of the feedback we're talking about, is there a storyline that excites you even a little bit? And you know what, our buddy Mike and Kentucky hit us up and he said, you know what, at this point, we've had such a great NFL season that the super Bowl itself really is about eating friends. You got Green Day, you got Bad Bunny, you got you know commercial. Still it's just a hang. So Yeah, I'm really excited about Spot's buffalo dip.

00:01:36
Speaker 4: Noh, Spot, you're making the buffalo dip.

00:01:38
Speaker 1: Forget about the game.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: No, Spot makes a good strum bowling strum Bolie. We're not talking the guy in Pinocchio. We're talking about Spots strong. Yeah, but your thoughts is there a on my revenge for Seattle?

00:01:54
Speaker 4: I said it, you just want to listening?

00:01:56
Speaker 1: No, but I feel like you're not vibing it.

00:01:57
Speaker 4: No, that's.

00:02:00
Speaker 2: A little revenge for the Patriots. I think that's a great story.

00:02:02
Speaker 4: Though.

00:02:03
Speaker 2: Again, the only matchup that hasn't occurred in Super Bowl history is Broncos Ram Broncos Rams. I said it, but you weren't listening. Let's go to Arizona and say h to Chris Chris has his choice for the Super Bowl matchup. What's up, buddy, Hey.

00:02:18
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me guys, no problem. I wanted to reiterate what you're talking about about fan base is about the Patriots. It is kind of said. The thinking go back to like Atlanta. The Falcons blew that twenty eight to three lead and they haven't even snipped the Super Bowl and the Patriots have won another one. I've gone to two more and are about to go to another one.

00:02:37
Speaker 2: You know, it's wild. You know, another one Arizona. Thanks for the call, Chris. Another one we talk about all the time with Joe Burrow, with certain players that Matt Ryan for the Falcons. You get there, you almost have to win because the chance of you going back. Everyone always loves to say, well, dude, you'll be back. There's always next year. It's like a one night stand. Do you ever have a really good one night stand and you never hang out with her again? Yeah, you're like, oh, well maybe we could do this again, and just plans never line up.

00:03:10
Speaker 1: And I mean I've heard about it.

00:03:12
Speaker 6: I'm right.

00:03:12
Speaker 2: I mean they always call me back. I don't know about you. Yeah, maybe that is the problem.

00:03:17
Speaker 4: Pete in Vegas. What's up, buddy?

00:03:18
Speaker 1: What up?

00:03:19
Speaker 4: Pete?

00:03:19
Speaker 7: What's going on? Fellas came in?

00:03:22
Speaker 3: So two things.

00:03:24
Speaker 7: How come nobody is talking about the Robert Sola thing. It's just like I would be if I was on the radio as much as the local guys, I'd be happy. He already proved, you know. I mean, he's just he's not worthy of a head coaching job if you ask me. In fact, I don't think he did that greater job with our boys this year. You'll pobbly agree with me on that.

00:03:45
Speaker 4: I'm a big Niners guy. I love Robert Sell.

00:03:47
Speaker 2: I feel like you know, I don't think them being blown at the end helped cases. I mean, listen, dude, I think the team numbers wise when you ranked the run defense past defense, they really just kept people out of the end zone. I watched a team enough to know that yardage and give it up place. The Niners defense was not great, but they kept people.

00:04:07
Speaker 4: Out of the end zone. They minimized the damage.

00:04:10
Speaker 2: Robert Sell also coached a season without Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and three other key defenders.

00:04:18
Speaker 4: You know, Mikel Williams liked they had no one, so i'd Sally is a good dude.

00:04:23
Speaker 2: I wish he's stuck around now. The Niners need to do decoordinator. I don't know, is that appealing to you? Going to Tennessee.

00:04:30
Speaker 4: That doesn't seem like a team that that's not an appealing spot for me. What's up, dB?

00:04:35
Speaker 8: I don't think that. Because they're the Titans. People realize how dysfunctional that place has been over the last five years since they let go of Rabel. So now you're so it may be less dysfunctional than the Jets, which is not hard to do, but I'm not sure how functional it is. There are new people in place and new general manager, but it's been a bit of a mess over the last ever since they got rid of Rabel, and even during the end of his tenure there, it was a bit.

00:05:01
Speaker 2: Of a You've seen I'm sure dB more than all of us because you're on the lookout all day. The Harbaw Giants thing seems like a really good marriage so far. The fans are embracing the players were there before his opening presser, giving him bro hugs like it seems like Harbaugh's ready for the challenge.

00:05:18
Speaker 1: Oh.

00:05:19
Speaker 2: I grew up knowing them as the New York Football Giants, Like everything seems right. Do you think if he had waited a little longer and knew that McDermott was out, do you believe that he would have sniffed out that Buffalo job or.

00:05:29
Speaker 8: Now I'm I'm sure, And I think that Kevin Stefanski the same thing of him. Maybe going to Buffalo could have been an option. But my opinion about the Harball deal with the Giants is it's just such an easy hire. There's no like, if you're Joe Shane, like, yeah, we're gonna hire him. Was it the right hire? I have no idea. We think it's gonna work, but it just was a very very easy hire. And sometimes those don't work out as well as you would have hoped, but we'll see.

00:05:55
Speaker 2: Kevin stefanskas saw a big Cat, asked him a really hard hitting question if he dyed his beard gray because he's such a young guy, but he's got that gray beard, and he's like, I was like, I thought, you know me, I think that's a great question.

00:06:09
Speaker 4: You might nothing, but I was like.

00:06:10
Speaker 2: Why would someone die their beard? Great wisdom? Yes, what do you think about?

00:06:16
Speaker 6: Why?

00:06:18
Speaker 4: What do you think? Dion?

00:06:19
Speaker 2: And and you know, we talked about Lebron and some of these NBA guys that are young men, and you know, black dudes could die.

00:06:25
Speaker 4: They were black and they looked twenty years younger.

00:06:26
Speaker 2: Speaking to Stefanski, Baker Mayfield called him out. I thought that was pretty cool. That's another great storyline that they have to face each justice. I'm ready to see you twice a year, coach. Let's go. You remember me, the guy you let go, the guy you threw away like doodoo diapers something like that. He goes, let's go, can't wait to see you again. So Mayfield calling him out as the new Falcons coach. Well, speaking of wisdom and doodoo diapers. Kidding Mike, what's up, buddy?

00:06:54
Speaker 4: Thanks Rich? Yeah, very nice. I love that introduction. Man, Mike, Mike's love.

00:07:00
Speaker 2: Mike's a guy that welcomed us more than anyone when we started here years ago now and we've been best pals ever since. Big Mic, who runs his place, has words of wisdom.

00:07:09
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome Mike, everybody.

00:07:12
Speaker 4: I a super Bowl matchup. You want to see her?

00:07:15
Speaker 6: What?

00:07:15
Speaker 4: As long as the rams are not in it, I'm good, okay, Yeah that's yeah. My rams need to uh.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Go away, and I may tell Pooky you said that. I want to make this very very clear though. Today we're playing for mini balls we got and we're double l I guess it's Mike Skim.

00:07:33
Speaker 4: Like, come on, you looks up with that. That's a soft ball. I should have let that one go.

00:07:39
Speaker 1: They're the same.

00:07:40
Speaker 2: They're really cool though they're cn R n fs are many turbo footballs, and we're throwing in koozies. So it's a little bit of a make your hands big. Yeah, yeah, I got a little hamburger hands.

00:07:49
Speaker 1: So look at this. I could fully grip this week.

00:07:51
Speaker 2: You know, that's how an NFL, that's how an NFL quarterback feels with the real football.

00:07:54
Speaker 1: But I want to make it clear.

00:07:56
Speaker 2: Today we're playing for mini balls and some koozies, and you get to see Mike if you play along now on YouTube Covino and rich FSR on YouTube, it's like seeing Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget for the first time. You're like, that's Mike, that is that's Mike right here.

00:08:12
Speaker 4: I'm right here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:08:13
Speaker 2: And for the record, they did show Doctor Claw on Inspector Gadget.

00:08:17
Speaker 1: Finally they did.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: It's time for something we do every Wednesday, Mike's Where's a wisdom?

00:08:22
Speaker 3: It's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:08:25
Speaker 8: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

00:08:39
Speaker 4: It's great to be here, gentlemen. And this is many of you know. We launched a new show here at Fox Sports Radio this week. Stug gotts place. I know he does not, but he will find out.

00:08:53
Speaker 1: No, let's make sure Stu Gott's and company know who runs this place.

00:08:56
Speaker 4: That's right, And this is in honor of the new show. Oh okay, every great beginning starts with confusion and someone pretending they know what's going on. I like that.

00:09:14
Speaker 2: No, it reminds me of Mike. Like becoming a parent for the first time, and how your parents were just learning as they went.

00:09:20
Speaker 4: To that's something you realized. I'm sure you.

00:09:22
Speaker 1: Realize that it's their first time through all this too. What did they know?

00:09:24
Speaker 2: The dam buyer, Mike, all of us all of a sudden, Dad's do you remember thinking that thought like, oh my god, my parents were just sort of like figuring.

00:09:32
Speaker 4: Out idea, sort of winging it like I was.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: I was older and had more money than my parents had when they had me, So I'm like they they were really just winging it.

00:09:41
Speaker 9: I understand now, I understand why my mom accidentally dropped me on the tile floor.

00:09:46
Speaker 4: She said it was an accident.

00:09:48
Speaker 2: She sent it all right. So you know what, if you could repeat Mike's words of wisdom word for word, let me give it to you one more time, one more time. Every great beginning starts with conf fusion and someone pretending they know what's going on.

00:10:06
Speaker 6: That's a good one.

00:10:07
Speaker 2: I like it because you're right some people I often wonder too in life are these people just playing pretend? Especially when I go like big meetings, Like what is this idiot now? He's just pretending to be important act as if you know.

00:10:20
Speaker 4: It reminds me.

00:10:21
Speaker 2: Of my favorite Barack Obama quote where he's like, you know, when he became president sort of out of nowhere. I mean, he was a local guy who became President's like all these world leaders and CEOs and billionaires.

00:10:31
Speaker 4: He goes, they all all they are They're not all that.

00:10:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, a bunch of people pretending to be adults.

00:10:36
Speaker 4: I think about that. All right, Thank you big Mike, Thank you are welcome. John.

00:10:40
Speaker 2: If you could repeat that word for word, Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom, we figure we passed on that wisdom to you, a guy with a real gray beard in wisdom. Mike call us now at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox for your chance to win again a seen our mini Turbo football and we'll throw in some koozies to a CNR prize pack. Well, let's turn the page while we get a winner like Metallica or Bob Seegerica.

00:11:05
Speaker 1: All right, let's do it.

00:11:06
Speaker 4: Metallica version is better. Let me play that next.

00:11:08
Speaker 2: Let's get ready for spots midweekly load some holloway East. Yeah, I'm sorry, continue man, you and I were Sam, what a ride on the road again?

00:11:25
Speaker 1: They riot.

00:11:28
Speaker 4: The stage, they rack.

00:11:31
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead continue.

00:11:32
Speaker 6: I had to turn my headphones down.

00:11:34
Speaker 1: He said, like Metallica's I was doing my best.

00:11:36
Speaker 4: Just can't help it.

00:11:37
Speaker 10: Man.

00:11:37
Speaker 2: Do we need to do a Cavino on Rich Fox Sports Radio Karaoke Night, Yeah, where we invite listeners to watch you and Sam do at the rock that is a fantastic idea.

00:11:47
Speaker 4: But don't tell don't don't tell me I have we want to go up there now. Yeah, when you tell me.

00:11:53
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it, turn the page.

00:11:57
Speaker 2: We are going to turn the page to Spot's midweek major and a little bit so old, back to NFL and all the stories in the world of pop culture.

00:12:04
Speaker 4: Spot.

00:12:04
Speaker 2: I do want you to include the Beckham story in your midweek major because I'm so fascinating, fascinated by David.

00:12:09
Speaker 11: Well, thanks for letting me know. Now, I feel like I need an hour to research it. Dude, There's so much to it. It's complex.

00:12:15
Speaker 2: I'm got you do it, you know what, Maybe I will, But right now I want to talk about I want to talk about dude, ungrateful Lebron. This is a story out of TMZ that I thought you guys would get a kick out of. Genie Buss and this this sort of tracks because it makes sense. Maybe you I'll ask former Fox Sports radio host Jay Moore what he thinks. Genie Buss felt that Lebron James was ungrateful after the Lakers drafted bronni In this whole message, it goes on to say that when they went ahead and drafted Lebron James his son, Bronnie. Geenie thought that'd be more of a like thank you, more of like a we.

00:12:58
Speaker 4: Went out of our way like Lebron just so of was like, yeah, go cool.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: I could see that, because Okay, when you're Lebron, you I'm not even saying it's a personality flaw. It's just like, by default, you feel entitled to me that sort of treatment because you mean a lot to the organization.

00:13:17
Speaker 4: Let me read this to you, Mike, and then your response. OK.

00:13:20
Speaker 2: Genie buss So the pick of Bronni as a major gesture of loyalty to the James family, and she expected a little appreciation from Lebron, but gratitude, but instead, you believe he shrugged it off, and it really irked Genie.

00:13:35
Speaker 4: So what what bothers me the most about this is the fact that when they did draft Bronni, they tried to pretend like it was a reasonable draft pick. And now she's turning around and saying, well, obviously we would never have drafted him. But if Lebron she's talking out of both sides of her mouth right now, that's absolutely ridiculous. I have she's crazy.

00:13:57
Speaker 2: They're saying, of course, a lot of uncertainty when they drafted Bronnie because you so very little of him in college. It seemed like a pickfoil Lebron. But you're right now, So by Genie saying that there, they are just just confirming that they made that peck just for lebron. That's sort of on her. And here's why. First of all, people stink. It's not just lebron people stink, And that's why you have to I learned this from Ivan Drago.

00:14:18
Speaker 1: Remember him, former champion Russian boxer.

00:14:20
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, you see the snow in Russia. It's almost like Rocky Ford thirteen feet of snow. True story. And by the way, I'm so confused what's real or not because there's pictures on social medium.

00:14:28
Speaker 4: Like is that real?

00:14:30
Speaker 2: Like the abounable snowman. No, that's fine, that's not true, the snow monster. Okay fu, but there is thirteen feet of snow. But what did he say besides I must break him? He says, did Yabian fight for you? Do for you and worry about you? And I say this because when you do the right thing sometimes in life, do them because it's the right thing for you. You know in your heart of hearts and soul of souls that I'm doing this because I know it's the right thing, not because you want some sort of thank you or some sort of gratitude, some sort of pat on the back, like do it because you know it's the right thing to do. And Genie Buss did this clearly for all the wrong reasons, just to show a gesture to Lebron, to be like, hey, here's what we're doing, Lebron, because when you do it for those reasons, you're never when you do it for the thank you, you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. Now listen, don't I don't think it was well, I want to say, for all the wrong reasons. Lebron James is a big part of the organization, so she but when you're looking for that gratitude oftentimes in life because people think you don't get it, and I got stories, You got stories. Genie Buss has stories.

00:15:35
Speaker 11: There's a little bit more to it as well, all of the systeming sort of from background investigation from the sale of the team. So it dates back to I believe the Westbrook trade. Like her annoyance is that Lebron never takes accountability when things go wrong, despite his huge influence over the team.

00:16:00
Speaker 2: Got so if Lebron's like, I want to be involved in the decisions, and then when the decisions don't go right, Lebron's like, well, what not my vault?

00:16:06
Speaker 11: And apparently after that in twenty twenty two, because they didn't make the playoffs the previous year, Genie Bus consider trading him or not renewing his contract.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: Well, Geni Buss then should have just done this just out of kindness. Hey, Lebron means a lot to our organization. We want to show the loyalty to him. We're going to draft his son and leave it at that. You shouldn't expect anything else in return, honestly, because that's just how life is and how people are. I have a quick story i'll share with you as an example. I found get this. This is no joke, No, lie, I found a watch. I was walking my dog with my I was playing with Mayo Yo.

00:16:43
Speaker 6: On the street. Corner.

00:16:44
Speaker 4: Man, you're.

00:16:46
Speaker 1: I'm a former Duncan champion. No, I'm actually walking the dog.

00:16:50
Speaker 2: And I see my dog poking around underneath the table at a outside sort of restaurant, and what are you poking at. I look under there and there's a watch. But it's not just a watch. It's not a Swatch watch. It's not some old Cassio, it's not some sort of fossil from nineteen ninety something. It's a Cardier watch. And I looked at it. I'm like, man, this is a nice expensive watch. This is someone's expensive watch. I looked it up. It was a thirty thousand dollars watch.

00:17:18
Speaker 4: Dang.

00:17:19
Speaker 2: But dude, I did the right thing because I knew it was the right thing to do. I didn't do it for a reward or a thank you or a pat on the back. It hurt me and paining me to do the right thing, but I did it for me. And I handed it back to the owner of the restaurant. I said, hey, oh, I tell you can say you give it to your girlfriend for Christmas. I thought about that long and hard. I thought about that long and hard. But here's where the story ties in. I gave it to the owner and I said, this is a really expensive watch. Man, someone's going to be looking for it. He's like, wow, man, thanks, because most people stink and they would have kept it and sold it right.

00:17:51
Speaker 1: I went back to that restaurant like a week later. I'm like, hey, that watch man.

00:17:56
Speaker 2: You know, I was like a thirty thousand dollars watch I returned to you guys, for all I knew so much from the restaurant, could have kept it.

00:18:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, whatever happened? He was, would you believe?

00:18:05
Speaker 4: Man?

00:18:06
Speaker 2: Like later that day, a guy came back for to watch, and I thought he was gonna be so pumped to get it back. And he never even looked up at me from his phone. Had his head and his phone the whole time.

00:18:15
Speaker 1: He was like, hey man, oh yeah, thanks. He was like, yeah, man, some guy returned this today.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: He's like, you didn't. He's like, we found your watch. Some dude was nice enough to return. He's like, hey man, thanks and walked out the restaurant. Not a thank you, not like wow man, not like hey, do you have his numbers so I could thank you? But again, I wasn't expecting that. But it proves the thought of people's think. Don't expect that from people.

00:18:40
Speaker 6: It's weak.

00:18:40
Speaker 9: This this makes me think of when you're somewhere where there's a tip jar, like a sandwich shopper or the frozen yogurt place by my house. I make sure to throw in some tip money and they see it. And when they don't even acknowledge it or nod their head or say oh thanks or any it bugs me. I'm like, you could knowledge money just went in your tip.

00:18:58
Speaker 1: You know what it went into.

00:18:59
Speaker 2: It went in to your your danny g soul of souls of doing the right thing.

00:19:04
Speaker 4: You need to go to cold Stone Creamery because if they see a tip go in, they are required to sing a thank you.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: They used to. I don't think they do anything. Yeah, now I've gone there. I tip a couple of bucks. When my kids are you know, picky about I won't for cotton candy ice cream with this. I always throw a couple of bucks. And in my mind, I'm like, where's the soul they're supposed to say? You do these kind gestures because you, Yeah, you want to do for yourself the right thing, for your soul, for your kindness.

00:19:33
Speaker 1: Because that's who you want.

00:19:34
Speaker 2: I want to thank yourself when you're doing things, because you're expecting some sort of thank you. Jeanie Buss, you're not gonna get it. You're gonna be let down. But people are good at that, but ungrateful lebron as the conversation started, it's a it's a bad feeling. Cavino's right that some people are gonna be ungrateful. That's why you have to do it, just because you know you're doing the right thing. I'll tell you a quick twenty second Sorry, we'll move on to midwek Major get a winner a FK. I'm at the airport New York City, John F. Kennedy Airport, and you know those like I don't know who uses them, but people use those like things to push your luggage, like those little metal push carts.

00:20:13
Speaker 1: You mean who uses them? You've never used one of those ever?

00:20:15
Speaker 4: You can rent them. They're like the rent to card.

00:20:17
Speaker 2: People traveling, I roll my suitcase and I have a backpack or something like how often what luggage do you have? People that are going on excursions, like masscursions where.

00:20:26
Speaker 4: They've got a bunch of kids who can't roll.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: The family travel and everyone travels with a little little book back like you.

00:20:34
Speaker 4: I saw some.

00:20:36
Speaker 2: JAMBRONI get in a like a nice black suv, like a like a nice car pulls up.

00:20:43
Speaker 4: This guy loads his bags.

00:20:45
Speaker 2: And I see that he left a MacBook and a MacBook case and all this stuff on the cart. The car starts pulling away. I run up to the car, and on the side of the car, I'm like, yo, yo, yo, yo, guys, you forgot I hand this guy his computer and everything.

00:21:02
Speaker 1: Much like thinking you saved his career.

00:21:04
Speaker 12: I'm thinking you're like Lloyd Christmas trying to get the briefcase back to Mary swontsor you're like, no.

00:21:09
Speaker 2: Maybe it was a drop ransom, maybe I was Christmas. But when I tell you, Mike, I was still disappointed. I didn't want to reward I didn't, but this guy was like, oh thanks, Like this guy would have went into New York City, Long Island, Connecticut, and then he would have been like, where is my laptop, my bag and everything. Rich thinks he saved his life and this guy gave him a how do you do? This guy gave him the hight time like yeah, later.

00:21:31
Speaker 12: You know why that guy owes you a thank you though, because you could have just done the easy thing. Was just like, it's not my problem. You went out of your way to try to help somebody people.

00:21:38
Speaker 2: Shopper respondes, Oh my god, that's so awesome. Thank you so much. You're aware of what's going Wow. I really appreciate that, but there were so many times in life you don't get that, and it's a it's a crappy feeling of being let down.

00:21:50
Speaker 4: What you're saying is Lebron James should be singing the Coldstone Creamery song to Genie.

00:21:55
Speaker 2: But yes, I think you're right, but i'd like to see that. I think, and we also that I might have actually in the Lloyd Christmas in that stuff.

00:26:08
Speaker 9: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch plains New Jersey spotty boys, guys.

00:26:16
Speaker 1: Thanks for leaving me a whole six and a half minutes.

00:26:18
Speaker 10: What's up?

00:26:18
Speaker 11: But alright, let's jump right in. So Rich, I know you wanted me to go over the Beckham drama that's on you. There's too much there, Okay, so thus ongoing, but I will give you some other drama, some Taylor Swift drama.

00:26:29
Speaker 4: I know we all love that.

00:26:31
Speaker 11: Luckily Travis Dunn for the season so he can focus on getting dragged into all this drama. So, as you know, Taylor was caught up in knee lawsuit involving her friend and actress Blake Lively and actor director Justin Baldoni. Over the movie it ends with us that whole thing. The thing was dismiss but documents were just released that show a text exchange between Blake and Taylor where Taylor says, quote, I think this bee knows something is coming because he's gotten out any violin. Obviously, things said in private, you don't expect them to go public. But the whole text exchanges there. Now, fans are taking to Travis's social media to call out Taylor, posting comments about his fiance, saying things like quote, I hope the Kelsey family had no knowledge of Taylor Swift's wrongdoings, Otherwise it would be so disappointing that you two decided to get married. The Kelsey family seems so sweet. Other people are just saying that watch out, Taylor. You've seen Taylor's true colors. You should run.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: This is well, this is major, definitely like major bs, and I'll tell you why, Like this is a No one would ever want their private text messages shown. Imagine if this group chat on our show was shown. My goodness, but you know what Taylor Swift, her friend Blake Lively, whether their friends are not anymore, she had her back. I just think we were deceived to think like Tror. Taylor made it seem like, oh my god, it was bamboozled. I don't want to be involved. Meanwhile, she was sort of involved in the whole thing. But what does it have to do with Ay the pre bananas or her relationship with Travis kelce You or your wife never lied to someone else, doesn't have anything to do with Travis Kelcey leave Travis alone.

00:28:09
Speaker 4: This is man.

00:28:10
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. First, I'll say I'll start with a compliment. Congratulations Taylor Swift. She's in the Singer Songwriter Hall of Fame. I guess to be there. But guess what she's not little miss innocent? Okay, because the text messages have come out and she was talking smack. But who gives a daily squat The minute you say Baldoni and Lively, I'm tuned out.

00:28:30
Speaker 1: I don't give it. I don't give a terrible terry funk about that story.

00:28:33
Speaker 2: But you know what, Cam I agree? Do you expect everyone to be a little angel? That's like saying none of us here has ever texted someone something. You'd be like, ooh, come on next doors.

00:28:42
Speaker 11: All right, keeping with the drama, but over to Baker Mayfields during US some drama on social media over new Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski.

00:28:52
Speaker 1: With the new hiring.

00:28:53
Speaker 11: Longtime Falcons reporter d Orlando Ledbetter published a story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution claiming Stefanski had a dumpster fire at quarterback in Cleveland with both Mayfield and Watson as failed qbs. So Mayfield couldn't let this one slide immediately reposted to Leadbetter's post on X saying quote failed is quite the reach. Pal still waiting on a text slash call from Stefanski after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Oh, he said, can't wait to see you twice a year, coach. As you know, Mayfield spent two seasons with Stefanski on the Browns was traded to the Panthers in twenty twenty two. So a little bit of beef drama there, midweaker, major.

00:29:33
Speaker 2: Major because it took a storyline. The NFL is all about storylines and battles and feuds, right, That's what that drives it the great football, but also the storylines, and the NFC South is one of the more boring conferences, if not the most boring.

00:29:48
Speaker 4: So you put a.

00:29:48
Speaker 2: Little Baker Mayfield Kevin Stefanski feud in the mix. Now, all of a sudden, the Tampa Bay Bucks now spot, said Steven Kofanskis. He said, Okay, I was speaking quickly. I corrected myself in the moment. Stephen Fanci as a cool dark beard. Okay, Rich, slow down, Oh that's cabino.

00:30:05
Speaker 1: No.

00:30:05
Speaker 2: But I think it's major only because it gives you a little hype to a meaningless Falcons Bucks rivalry that really doesn't exist. Now what's exciting to me? So I say major? Absolutely major. Some people think there's such thing as bad motivation. I think anything that motivates you is great motivation. And if this motivates Baker Mayfield even more to stick it to Stefanski, I love it. I use this as motivation in my life. Every day. People say to you, say to me, Carino, what's with the chip on your shoulder? I'm like, it's not a chip, isn't Tostito and everybody that's overlooked me. It fuels my fire every day to prove them wrong and beat their asses. So props to Mayfield for calling them out. Give him fuel, give him fire, give me that which I desire.

00:30:47
Speaker 7: Eh.

00:30:48
Speaker 11: Yeah, since you stole my other Lebron story, here's another one for you.

00:30:54
Speaker 1: So Lebron and Nike, I don't know if you.

00:30:56
Speaker 11: Saw this, facing backlash after their tone deaf plan to honor Martin Luther King Junior. So the Nike Lebron twenty three quote Honor the King features a turquoise green colorway front, which matches Memphis's Lorraine motel.

00:31:13
Speaker 1: So think about that.

00:31:14
Speaker 4: Okay, honoring the place he got killed, Honoring.

00:31:16
Speaker 11: The place doctor Martin Luther King was assassinated on April fourth, nineteen sixty eight.

00:31:22
Speaker 1: So this shoe also has like.

00:31:24
Speaker 11: A quality written on the heel commemorates Lebron's points that he scored on Memphis in two thousand and eight. But the shoes are focusing on the plate to honor Martin.

00:31:35
Speaker 4: Luther King, the place he was murdered, assassinated.

00:31:38
Speaker 11: So a lot of people are coming out immediately backlash tone dev I'll say, mid, I'll tell you.

00:31:43
Speaker 4: What that's so mad because we always we always.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: Say the same thing on the show. We're consistent in saying I look at intention and no one's intending to be disrespectful.

00:31:52
Speaker 4: It may have missed the.

00:31:52
Speaker 2: Mark, and oh yeah, no, that I think about it, maybe it shouldn't be the colors of the place he got assassinated. I don't think the intention was bad. The intention was a tribute, So I'm.

00:32:02
Speaker 4: Okay with it.

00:32:02
Speaker 1: But yeah, you don't want to miss it right, get it right?

00:32:04
Speaker 2: Though, I agree with Rich there's no mal intent, right, it's I think it's a major story.

00:32:09
Speaker 6: Actually, Martin Luffer King.

00:32:10
Speaker 2: Needs to be honored the proper way, better than that Spencer's gift item.

00:32:14
Speaker 4: I saw the Martin Lufa King. It's better than the lupa. You know. That's it. That's disrespect.

00:32:19
Speaker 2: Remember in a related story, I think it was in like somewhere in Florida or Florida City or something like that, where they did the embracing arms and it was like the weirdest tribute to Martin Luther King. It's like, I get the intent was good, but if you're going to take the time to honor someone's life, someone significant, do it right.

00:32:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, do it all right?

00:32:35
Speaker 4: Thank you?

00:32:36
Speaker 1: Spot all right.

00:32:37
Speaker 11: By the way, I hear the theater here in la is doing a Lincoln promotion. If you want to head to the theater, get some box seats.

00:32:44
Speaker 4: Stop it stipid. All right, God, let's go over to the real news.

00:32:47
Speaker 6: Damn buy TV.

00:32:48
Speaker 4: What's going on?

00:32:49
Speaker 2: Name?

00:32:50
Speaker 4: How wonderful?

00:32:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, great to see you as well.

00:32:54
Speaker 8: Cavino in a great mood because Cody Bellinger is back with the Yankees on a five year deal worth one hundred and sixty two million dollars, has a full note trade clause opt outs after the second and third year of that deal. The big news in the NFL today is what went on in Buffalo tough to describe, so we'll let Bill's audit Terry Pegoula explain why he fired Sean McDermott on Saturday.

00:33:15
Speaker 10: I did not fire a coach based on a bad officiating decision. I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall year after year.

00:33:23
Speaker 8: Now, Pagula was flanked by new team president Brandon Bean, who got a promotion from being the team's general manager. The topic of conversation that came up was about Keon Coleman and the drafting of the wide receiver in the twenty twenty four draft in with the first pick in the second round.

00:33:38
Speaker 6: Here was Pegula on that selection.

00:33:40
Speaker 10: The coaching staff pushed to draft Kon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice. He's taken for some reason, heat over it and not saying a word about it.

00:33:52
Speaker 8: By the way, Coleman's still on the team, So you still remember on the Buffalo Bills, Brandon Aiyuk's not going to be a member of the forty nine ers any longer. GM John Lynch, confirming that Ayuk has played his last snap as a Niner. Lynch also weighing in on the electrical substation next to the team's practice facility.

00:34:11
Speaker 6: Here's a bit of that. You may have heard it earlier, but here it is again.

00:34:14
Speaker 14: You have to look into everything, and so our guys have been We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone to see does a study exist rather than a guy sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and by coming up with a number that I have no idea what that means. That's what we know exists. We've heard that debunked, you know. So yes, we will look into it. We have and we'll always speak cognizant of things. I know that a lot of games have been won at this facility, you know, since it opened.

00:34:41
Speaker 4: But yeah, we aren't going to turn a blind eye. We'll look into everything.

00:34:44
Speaker 6: It is your answer, Rich, So they will look into it.

00:34:46
Speaker 4: Will they get to get the MythBusters?

00:34:49
Speaker 6: Maybe a three part episode.

00:34:51
Speaker 8: Eagles interviewed Matt Nagy for their offensive coordinator position as the Chiefs manted official Eric b enemy will be the oc INKC Piston's one of k Cunningham. Tonight, out against the Pelicans because of an illness.

00:35:02
Speaker 2: Back to you fellas, thank you, dB, and I do have a retraction Rich the embrace that Martin Luther King statue, that weird statue that's in Boston.

Why are we rooting against the underdog to play big in a big moment?

00:35:48
Speaker 4: That's kind of cool? You're going double dog either.

00:35:49

Now, you know, in relationships, in business, in life, the blueprint a lot of times is there. You see other people make a mistake and you're like, all right, I know not to do that, yes, but yet people still will make that mistake. You could say, Danny, I'm sure you've seen this with your step son's right where you're like, yo, my man, don't do that. They do it, and you're like, man, I told you, I mean, tell me the story of your life.

00:39:07
Speaker 6: Not to do that they got.

00:39:09
Speaker 9: What's the old cliche, they have to learn by making their own mistake.

00:39:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm guessing. I'm guessing it's not the FAF. I'm guessing it's not the first time, Danny, that you've you've said something to one of your sons and he just didn't listen and then something happened. Nope, noubt not register. You've seen it in sports. And I bring this up because I'moran Saint Brown, who I love. I would love this guy on my team detroit lyon.

00:39:30
Speaker 1: You love his upbringing and his discipline and militant ways.

00:39:35
Speaker 4: I just feel like his dad's his dad.

00:39:36
Speaker 2: His story was he made him catch at least two hundred passes a day every day. I feel like his dad's a bit much. But I feel like the discipline I try to. I try to teach my kids a little. My wife's a little soft with the kids, so I try. I can never get to the Amoran Saint Brown's dad's level of discipline.

00:39:53
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's normal anyway.

00:39:55
Speaker 2: Good luck co parenting, because I had a co parent, could never discipline my daughter the way I wanted to, because she'd run back and tell mom and you know when you have different houses, it's just never never on the same page. Back to Amor on Saint Brown. He was in an interview and he started talking about Lions fans and talking about Dan Campbell.

00:40:12
Speaker 4: Just take a listen to Aman ra B.

00:40:14
Speaker 1: I see crazy Lions fans talking crazy, like, oh why would we do this?

00:40:18
Speaker 4: Like, Bro, do you guys like have no trust in Dan in the Lions?

00:40:24
Speaker 1: Like do you think they would just hire a random dude?

00:40:26
Speaker 4: Like be for real? Like you think they don't know what they're doing, They don't do their research.

00:40:29
Speaker 1: Interview like most of you guys don't know really much about anything about any ball.

00:40:33
Speaker 2: He says, Lion fans don't know ball. He talks about them, criticizing Dan Campbell, and then he repeatedly continues to say, Lion fans, relax, relax. I think he's saying, trust the process. We know they know more than you do. He's a big enough star where if you want to interpret it as just playful, you can because you don't want to not like him.

00:40:54
Speaker 4: But the Lions are good.

00:40:56
Speaker 2: They missed the playoffs this year, but he's a good player on a team that you know you would think go maybe be back next year.

00:41:01
Speaker 4: Right, this happened to the Mets.

00:41:03
Speaker 2: Do you remember the hobby bias experiment and you remember they turned on the fans where they started doing the thumbs down thing to the fans. You you, as a player just lesson learned. You can't toe that line and Rod, because if you start turning on the fans, it never ends. Well, it's not like the fans like, man, you're crazy. They'll take it personally. They're rooting for you with their bloods. I'm just playing devil's advocate.

00:41:27
Speaker 4: The fans don't know. But he shouldn't.

00:41:29
Speaker 1: Said, customer is not always right.

00:41:31
Speaker 4: I don't.

00:41:31
Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to that.

00:41:32
Speaker 2: I know there's a customer's big headed idiot and he's he's trying to point that out in a nice way, saying, we're professionals, we know what we're doing.

00:41:40
Speaker 4: Just trust this. That's fair.

00:41:41
Speaker 2: Okay, but you know, maybe we touch on this a little more tomorrow. Always running out of time, We'll see you then

00:41:46
Speaker 1: You in the promise play goodbye, guys,
