00:00:40
Speaker 3: Let me just let you know.

You know, I'm gonna call up the YouTube chaff and say, how to you guys, YouTube dot com slash at Covin on rich FSR. Back to Kavino. He's the type of guy on vacation that really does activity. He's like I saw him crocheting something with his girlfriend. He's the guy that does all the activities of the resorts. Offers macro Ma. He's macro may. I don't know what big difference.

00:01:36
Speaker 3: My grandma would be hyped Danny if the result she had crochet needles all over there right apart, very soothing.

00:01:42
Speaker 1: I think I feel like Kavino's girlfriend, as we know because we play the game, is a Kavino or Belichick. Cavino has a younger girlfriend named Jordan, who's in her early thirties. She pulls him into all these activities like let's go, you know, let's go play archery, let's go you know, boarding and stuff. He does these things so out of his comfort zone. So I'm sure we'll hear some stories tomorrow. Kevino will be back, but right now I want to continue my deep thought, and then we are going to play will Rich's mom. No, we're gonna give away some Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio, Nerve Football's. I texted my mom, I said, be ready in fifteen minutes. We're going to give you a call. We're simply gonna give my mom basic sports and entertainment questions. And it's really like, do our boomer parents know these answers? We'll do that coming up, all right, But my thought about Tyreek Hill. When you see all these guys baseball, football, basketball, whether it's Kevin Durant or Nick Bosa, Tyreek Hill, all the Tommy John surgeries in baseball ACL's achilles, it might sound like a stone ear. I promise you I didn't just take a bong rip like it's college days. I really think, man, that perhaps have we physically outgrown the nature in which these sports were designed to be played, Because in the sixties, seventies, eighties, kind of like we watch old highlights, and these guys were in shape, but they were like they had like dad bods. They weren't as big.

00:03:29
Speaker 3: They all looked like Clayton Kershaw.

00:03:30
Speaker 1: They all looked like Clayton Kershaw's man boobs. They all, you know, like Ozzie Smith was just like a skinny, slender athletic shortstop, you know. Joe Montana. Joe Montana had like my muscle mass. Like these guys were just athletic dudes.

00:03:45
Speaker 2: There were men.

00:03:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They had like dad strength. They had like you know, like your your grandpappy would they have the ability to like lift stuff and you're like, yeah, Grandpa, you never worked out, why are you so strong? I feel like athletes had that type of physique. Guys got injured, but not the way they do now. And is it because when you add size, strength, speed, athleticism, the ability to jump in ways that guys couldn't back in the day, Like we talk about all these like, hey, what if someone of this generation played this generation? I promise you everyone now would whoop anyone else in another generation. I don't care what anyone says, they would whoop their ass completely, without a doubt, the most doodoo NBA team would beat the best NBA team thirty forty years ago, just based on size, strength, ability, baseball guys back in the day, we're throwing what low nineties tops and they had what two pitches. Guys now are throwing five different pitches and you could tell by how the fatigue they can't do it for more than five or six innings. So my question is, are we just two big, wrong and fast.

00:05:02
Speaker 3: And not flexible enough?

00:05:04
Speaker 1: Two? Well, we are flexible, but is our body not designed for the speed, strength and size of how you get hit today, how fast you throw today?

00:05:14
Speaker 3: But don't we always hear that when you add the muscle mass you lose some flexibility.

00:05:19
Speaker 1: That is true, but I just think about it, Danny g like, not necessarily, but yes, there I feel like there's something to be said about what I'm saying where there's so many injuries to elite athletes. But is that maybe because when you throw one hundred and two miles an hour, you break one hundred. Every guy's got guys that could throw a hundred now and they've been doing it since they're teenagers. And wide receivers are running faster and jumping higher than they ever have, and guys that are hitting them even though you can't hit helmet to helm anymore, they're just bigger. Is there anything to this thought, Damn buyer.

00:05:55
Speaker 2: I think that there is something to it.

00:05:57
Speaker 3: Now.

00:05:57
Speaker 4: I don't know is to jump off point the Neighbor's injury, because I think that is separate from say pitchers in baseball not being able to get a grip and throwing out their elbow because of the amount of for how hard they throw in what they're trying to do with a baseball. Maybe there's maybe there's some similarities with that. I do think at some point that the physical nature of all of these athletes has gotten to a level where maybe we had never seen before. But like Malik Neighbors tearing out his knee, I just think is we just thought that fake AstroTurf in this fake grass stuff was going to be sufficient. And it's back where we started in the mid to late eighties when we started to take that turn away from astro turf, when it started to get so bad.

00:06:46
Speaker 1: Now. Cavino, as you know, is a big boxing guy, and he loves to point out that, you know, we've got stronger and bigger, and physiques are more impressive. Your brain, the human brain hasn't changed. Yes, you know, let's get to this, so guys, you get hit now, it's different than getting hit in different generations. I feel that everyone's bigger and stronger, and it's unbelievable to think that people don't talk about this. More like, again, look at all your baseball pitchers. These guys are ripped. They're throwing one hundred miles an hour. Mechanically, they're probably you would argue, oh, they're probably more mechanically sound than ever before. They know every angle. There's no more old school like Satchel Page wind up. They realize, well, that's not the way you're gonna get momentum. There's pitching coaches for kids. My kid is five, Sam, he plays pony ball. Not the next step above Shetland is when they don't do the coach pitch and the t ball pinto the kids are pitching, and the best ones have pitching coaches at seven or eight years old. That's the kids sports world specialization. The kids sports world filters then into travel ball colleges and the pros. And I just feel like there's something about almost like we've overtrained. We're too strong, we're too fast, we're too everything, and it leaves us so susceptible to just getting injured all the time.

00:08:18
Speaker 5: I think you look at players like football from the nineteen twenties or like its inception all the way to the fifties. Guys weren't weight training, and they were playing a lot of times both ways, so they were like out of weight. They weren't all bulked up specializing in one position. I feel like football players who played in that era, they a lot of them just lived like long, normal lives. Like Johnny Lujack played way back in the day. He died a couple of years ago at the age of ninety eight, and he played football for a long time. And I think guys today, a lot of football players, maybe they played in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, they might be dying in their fifties, sixties, seventies because they just take so much abuse over the course of their life.

00:08:54
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like like a wide receiver, now correct me if I'm wrong. I could be completely wrong. I don't think though. I don't think that though. When we were kids. If you're kid of the eighties and nineties, Andre Reid, Michael Irvin, Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, like you know Chris Carter. Yeah, they got banged up. But you name every team in the NFL, and I could almost feel like you could tell me how they've missed a year or half a year because of some legitimate major injury. It is wild to me. It used to be the anomaly when when a running back would have some crazy knee injury. Now it's everyone, and it's like, hey, we'll see you next year because medicine is so great. But guys are being torn apart, and I want to take your feedback.

00:09:37
Speaker 4: I think guys are asked to do more from you know, certain aspects if you're I don't know why. I feel that quarterbacks were only suffering maybe a knee injury here there, or.

00:09:52
Speaker 1: Like a like if Joe Montana got smushed, Yeah, a.

00:09:56
Speaker 4: Shoulder, you know, graphic and gruesome that as that injury was. Like, those were the type of injuries. Now with guys being more mobile and moving around and doing those things. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know if there's scientific data that has that information. But I do think that you are doing more so you are more susceptible to certain types of injuries.

00:10:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, quarterbacks just.

00:10:20
Speaker 4: Run are more mobile and run more than they did, you know, thirty forty years ago.

00:10:26
Speaker 1: The routes, receivers are running the crossover dribbles and quick movements. These NBA players are making the one hundred and two mile an hour fastballs, pitchers are throwing. There just seems to be so much more stress on the body because we're demanding more that everyone just can't and don't give me this, bs it. Guys are just tougher back in the day. No guys ruppering his achilles or you know, acl injury and just keep playing. Don't tell me guys are so tough that they played a season you know, terribly injured. Well it wasn't. Don't give me that bs Yes, dandy, Oh that was me. Oh what's up? Sam?

00:11:05
Speaker 5: I just think Also, guys in the last forty years are you know, eating more protein. They're just bigger, they're stronger, and yeah, like you said, our skull and our brain are the same, but they're getting hit and it's more like a collision than it was in the past than it does more damage to the body, like offensive linemen in the fifties, or like in the two hundred and two hundred and fifty pound range.

00:11:24
Speaker 2: Now they're over three hundred pounds.

00:11:26
Speaker 4: So in the in the game of football, and I don't know if this is like this in any other sport. I don't think that there is, because I think football is so unique. I think that football was has just gotten more complex, got more complicated throughout the years. Yes, it's not just hand off to the running back, throw the ball to the tight end or wide receivers.

00:11:47
Speaker 2: So there are.

00:11:47
Speaker 1: There are schemes that cuts the athleticism everything, But the athleticism is the word, right, because all all this, everything I'm saying cross sports comes down to the athleticism that's needed to play in today's professional sports world.

00:12:00
Speaker 4: Yes, And I think forty years ago and I just used that as an example, I don't know how many times we were talking about ambulance balls and I'm talking about the throws that the quarterbacks make where their wide receiver is going to get killed. And someone like Jack Tatum in the nineteen seventies and Danny's Raiders made a living off of that, right, crushing a wide receiver wide receiver on a slant. Now that's kind of been eliminated. Teams aren't doing that as much anymore. So, someone may say, well, they look at what Jack Tatum did to these guys in the nineteen seventies. With all that being said, I do think NFL teams now are so deep in trying to find any edge that they can get that they push those lines to maybe you end up putting guys in tough spots because you're trying to get any advantage that you can get.

00:12:49
Speaker 1: It's amazing when you always hear it. At the combine. They'll be like, man, this guy's three hundreds of then pounds and he runs a whatever forty and you're like, wow, you know, my dude, big Trent Williams and the Niners just seems like, how can he be that big and strong and that agile? And I heard o'givem props. I think it was Nick Right or Brew who used to do Brusard, who used to do odd couple. On FS one, they were talking about how for the Ravens, can the Ravens whether this Lamar might be injured storm and it's like they were talking about, how have you load up that line, fall back and get all these all these guys who were named it are all six three six four, three hundred pounds full back. You know the size of Derrick Henry, and you're thinking, like, these guys are just they should not be that fast and agile for their size. It's it doesn't make sense to me. Let's go to Nick and Alabama. You're on with coven On Rich. What's up, Bud.

00:13:46
Speaker 6: I appreciate each guys taking my call.

00:13:48
Speaker 1: What's up?

00:13:48
Speaker 7: Man, I didn't think I really didn't think you'd take it. I listen to you guys all the time.

00:13:53
Speaker 3: I love you. Thanks for.

00:13:56
Speaker 7: Listen, guys. I think you're missing the boat.

00:13:57
Speaker 1: Oh, let's hear it.

00:14:00
Speaker 6: Look, I mean I played I played sports, and I quit college football because my coach, God bless them, Gary Barnett, wanted me to take steroids. And that was back in nineteen eighty two. But I was a cop for thirty six years, and I've seen people destroy.

00:14:17
Speaker 7: Themselves because they take body enhancing drugs, whether it be testosterone, dianabol testosterone, hgh whatever. Here's the problem. There's the part that nobody wants to talk about. When you grow the muscle so fast, the tendons don't grow. You have to understand, like you can have the biggest quad in the whole world, but the tendons that are around it. The steroids don't make those grow like that.

00:14:49
Speaker 1: So whether it's illegal or illegal enhancements or supplements, you're saying that our body's not designed for that, like our buddy Mauser and hit us up in and said he goes. It's interesting because all these injuries happen. Yet we could all agree that equipment in all sports has gotten safer. Helmets, padding, baseball, basketball, compression. This that like the equipment and everything that the pictures don't throw complete games any longer. Yeah, pictures so well, they average five six innings, so it's a very different game.

00:15:21
Speaker 5: Rules have been changed to make the game. A lot of games safer, Like my friend's father was a center for IOW in the early nineteen seventies and they're terrible, and you were allowed back and then to like when the center was snapping the ball, you could push the center's like face down into the dirt, like you could just like pile drive him and he and my friend's dad he's passed away now. He he had nerve damage in his shoulders and neck and he developed Parkinson's later in life. You wonder if maybe the rule changes help people, but they have too much weight on their frame and like our collar mentioned the tendons issue.

00:15:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bob in Texas, you're all with Kevin on retch. What's up, Bob?

00:15:57
Speaker 8: I think when you compare generations, it's like find China against Stoneware. And the players today have been more specialized and they play less sports when they're younger and everybody's a pitcher for the rest of their life or they're a receiver for the rest of their life, and they don't get they're not as much all around athletes and well rounded and maybe not choosing the right sport. But if you look at some of the players today, they could not play in the seventies because they couldn't throw a complete game.

00:16:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're bigger and stronger. They just don't have me. I don't know that they're just it just it makes no sense because if the guys are bigger, faster, stronger, and more agile, how are they also more fragile. That just doesn't make sense.

00:16:44
Speaker 9: There's also there's muscles, and then there's joints, and it seems like a lot of these issues are happening around the joint, and you know there's the hamstring strange obviously, but like at the so the joints aren't being strengthened it And I'm reading a couple of things and checking out AI and seeing all the all these different sort of effects that are having on it, and a lot of it is players are training for explosiveness, not for joint stability. Different to protect quarterbacks.

00:17:15
Speaker 1: Like we said, that's a great answer, that's already a great answer. Yeah, the the fic is on are you are you an explosive off the off the snap, but the explosiveness versus like you said, stability joints stability.

00:17:27
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, like you know, locking in a knee versus just like getting a good explosive jump. Protecting certain players in the way that the routes are designed to protect those players are creating more awkward collisions. So that's creating more awkward injuries.

00:17:41
Speaker 4: What was what was the jumping off pointr.

00:17:44
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill and neighbors. You could say, well, all the all the guys. It seems like every year or so, multiple elite guys. Den I'm just saying every year, multiple elite guys are out. And I just feel like when we were kids, and I'm not doing the oh back in the day because I don't think those guys are certainly not stronger, are better, and not tougher. It just there's something to be said about like these guys are so big and so strong and so fast, yet they're also fragile.

00:18:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and that's why, like I think, like Tyreek's situation last night is different than Malik Neighbors. Tyreek's injury came on grass, like as we're talking about, like a like a playing surface sort of thing. I think Melik neighbors injury is directly related to the playing surface that he played on, which is different to what we are you know, to what we are talking about.

00:18:27
Speaker 9: And you know what is a huge part of strength, conditioning and muscle building and all that is recovery time. And if you're constantly playing, if you're constantly training, if you're constantly you know, conditioning, I don't know.

00:18:41
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus told me, Tyreek's gonna be ready for a week exactly.

00:18:44
Speaker 9: Like if you're not giving yourself, like you know, I roll my ankle, I'm out out of the gym for two weeks. It's like you got to give yourself that proper time, and they are not allowed that proper time to let things set in and strengthen properly before going out and active.

00:19:00
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you guys letting me he's a great time. I'm glad I appreciate you guys let me before you know, I was gonna say, I'm glad you guys let me air out this thought because I do feel like we don't talk about it enough and I hate the old and I'm glad we didn't go back in the day people were tougher, because that's not where I was going. I was just going that everyone's bigger, stronger, and better. Now, why are we so hurt? I don't remember when you were a kid in the eighties or nineties, an NFL season or an MLB season didn't go by where multiple ace pitchers or quarterbacks or wide receivers were all out with like big acl Achilles, Tommy John. It just wasn't a thing.

00:19:37
Speaker 2: I'll tell I'll tell you this.

00:19:38
Speaker 4: Just saw John Carlo Stanton grounded into an inning ending double play.

00:19:42
Speaker 1: Oh, they could have threw that ball to the center fielder and then first base, he still would have been out. That guy slow as hell. Yeah, look, but they threw that ball at first base. He was halfway down the line.

00:19:49
Speaker 4: But also if you were to talk about who was the maybe best fit, who's the best in shape baseball player? And John Carlo, Yeah, who's always hurt? John Carla the best example of a guy that with his shirt off. Do you tell your wife, Hey, I'm here, sweetheart, listen ill, hey, honey money not to give Ben Sheets, you know, not to have him catch astray. But I covered the Brewers twenty some years ago, and Ben Sheets in the locker room was great, magnificent. And Ben Sheets with his shirt off, wasn't John Carlos Stanton like not even close, not even close to it.

00:20:28
Speaker 1: Dude, Kershaw mahomes. Look at all these guys that seems like.

00:20:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right, Kershaw is catching strays, you know, for for for what he is, you know, what he looks like. So there's yeah, it's it's an interesting And there are guys that play the same sports in that way, I feel like everybody in the NFL kind of looks the same, you know, like in like in some way or another, I mean taking out the lineman.

00:20:50
Speaker 1: But but situations, we'll get a you know, we'll get another hunk who is married to Olivia Culpo has a baby now, my guy Christian McCaffrey means there anyone more ripped and conditioned than him. Yeah, he's always always fighting the injury bug because he's just such a competitor and the quickness and as the spot said, the emphasis on explosiveness that is such a big part of it. Wrap it up, Dan in Idaho. Then we're gonna play a game, giveaway some prizes here. What's up, Dan?

00:21:22
Speaker 8: Hey, you know, one of the things I've always said, especially with the achilles, the knee injuries, the acl is just what did we do twenty thirty forty years ago as kids?

00:21:32
Speaker 7: What did we do every day all day, especially in the summers.

00:21:36
Speaker 8: We rode bikes, and no kids ride bikes anymore. And I think that's a big part of why there's so many lower extremity in bro.

00:21:46
Speaker 1: Dan, I love your thought that that's interesting. It's almost so ridiculous. No, but it's almost so ridiculous, actually, but it's so ridiculous that it almost goes along with my thought, like we're trying to come out with an answer, and Dan, I'll be honest, that's one hell of a contributing answer, Like why it makes no sense? Did you know Tyreek kill not ride enough? Did he not play, you know, ride bikes on the neighborhood? Did he not have a mongoose or.

00:22:09
Speaker 2: A GT Some college dude needs to do a study on that, or a huffy or a swin?

00:22:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's your huffy?

00:22:14
Speaker 8: Uh?

00:22:15
Speaker 5: You know, Nick Bosa? Will you not ride in your I don't know. I don't know how much bike riding has fallen off over the years.

00:22:22
Speaker 1: It has quite a bit.

00:22:23
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

00:22:25
Speaker 1: Take So hey, listen, we'll take the rest of your feedback. Dan Byer's got an update coming up.

00:22:30
Speaker 4: Is aren't a huffy anymore? That's that's all we have to say. You gotta be a little more huffy.

00:22:33
Speaker 1: Ye, I'm gonna get my mom on the phone because we're gonna use Oh I have her on the phone right now, Thanks Matt. Because my mother, we're gonna play a game called will Rich's Mom.

00:31:18
Speaker 4: He had a solo home run for the Yankee store at top of the Red Sox won nothing in the top of the third inning and game one of their American League Wild Card Series. It is a best of three matchup in the other ALWC. The Tigers top the Guardians today by a score of two to one.

00:31:34
Speaker 1: Scooball cat bet someone a coffee. I'm sorry, Dan buy Friend throt will Cavino wear his vulpy T shirt tomorrow to work?

00:31:41
Speaker 4: Yes, yes he will, Yanks listen and somebody on the screen right now is wearing a vulpe jersey with vulpe on the back of it, which I think we've talked about, is so annoying because the yeah, the Yankees don't have vulbet on the back. What do Yeah, sorry, tire, that's all right, that's all right. Trek scoobl fourteen strack in seven and two thirds for Detroit today is there up one to zero and the National League Cubs beat the Padres three to one. Saya Suzuki and Carson Kelly hit back to back home runs for Chicago in the fifth inning, giving the Cubs the lead they would never relinquish that Reds and Dodgers coming up at nine Eastern time tonight coming up on Thursday forty nine Ers and Rams on Thursday Night Football. Earlier today on cambi Are in San Francisco, forty nine Ers GM, John Lynch said he expected Party and wide receiver Ricky Piersoll to be questionable. No practice for either today. That also includes wide receiver Juwan Jennings. Party did meet with the media, says that it's toll right now, feels better than it did after week one, but also said that if there was a game tonight, he would not be able to play, gives him forty eight hours likely to be questionable for the game against the Rams. Tyreek Hill had surgery on his injured knee. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says the realistic goal is for him to be ready by the start of the next season. Dolphins are signing wide receiver, said Rick Wilson, junior Off the Saints practice squad. Raiders tackled Colton Miller headed to I are with a high ankle sprain and hairline fracture in that ankle. Former Syracuse basketball star Lawrence Moten died at the age of fifty three and Minnesota Links forward and the FISA Kllier r at a statement today saying that there is a lack of accountability from the WNBA's front office, saying.

00:33:15
Speaker 2: This, I'm concerned about the future of our sport. Everyone deserves to hear the truth.

00:33:19
Speaker 1: We have the best players in the world, we have the best fans in the world, but right now we have the worst leadership in the world.

00:33:25
Speaker 4: That from the Link Star. Collier's scathing words directed at Commissioner Kathy Engelbert, saying that the league believes it succeeds despite its players. She complained about the officiating, the TV deals, how they treat their star players so lot in that statement from Collier earlier today, Back.

00:33:43
Speaker 1: To you, Rich Dan, thank you around the room. Dumb question before we go to break. This might be the dumbest question of the day. Turf toe real big story this year, Brock Purdy, you know, seems to be a struggle early on and Joe Burrow. The extreme case of that is what has now sidelined Burrow for the foreseeable future. If you asked one hundred Cincinnati Bengal fans, if it meant Burrow being back in action, would you lick his toe once a day? How many? How many people would say yes?

00:34:18
Speaker 3: Not many?

00:34:21
Speaker 4: Know where you're going with I thought you were going to say, like the red That's where I thought it was going.

00:34:25
Speaker 1: Think about like Bengals fans that paint their face like they're damn Bengal, like the diehard fans, And you said, hey man, he's got to lick his toe once a day and he'll be back.

00:34:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's gonna be a few of those fans that'll do it.

00:34:36
Speaker 1: What about I think I think fifty percent of Bengals fans because that's a fan base that's thought this was the year they were Thurston. They were like Thurst and Howl the third they thought this was the year that they were going to get to the next level. And then Burrow's out. So I guarantee I changed my answer. Seventy out of one hundred Bengals fans would lick Joe Burrow's toe once a day for the rest of the season if it meant him being healthy.

00:34:57
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm sticking to it, Depraved.

00:35:00
Speaker 1: All right, listen, we got more Cavina on rich We'll give you some playoff updates in the world of the wild Card and talk a little more NFL. No more toull licking, So don't worry. That's all coming up right here, Cavino and rich Man the best two hours of the day. Hang with you, guys, Unless, of course, I'm coaching my kids hit like a nice double, then I'm proud of them. You can't conditionally be proud of your kids off. That's something I'm learning to right Hey, cavin on rich Fox Sports Radio.

All right, I wanted to re angle my dumb question. There was actually a better note. A better question was posed by Danny and Io Sam. I said, turf toe. Huh, it's a big problem this year. Brock Purdy. Who knows what's gonna happen in the next forty eight hours or is it gonna be Mac Jones on Thursday Night? And then I said the Bengals whole season got flipped upside down because Joe Burrow. It looks like most of the season he's out and it's all turf toe. This is not good. And we describe turf toe take your thumb and pull it back until it hurts, and that hyper extension and snap of that tendon would be the equivalent to what turf toe on your big toe is. And I said, put a Cincinnati Bengals fan licked Joe Burrow's toe once a day for the whole season if it meant Burrow's back. A better question was posed, that's not as weird. Would you would you endure that injury if it meant Joe Burrow didn't like If I said, hey, you're Bengals fan. You have turf toe for the next three months, but Joe Burrow's fine? Do you think fans would take on the pain for the player they root for. Do Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays mean that much to you? Like Danny g if I told you, you know, the Raiders weren't a better spot, but uh, you know genty out it pull the grond muscle. If I said, Danny, he's fine, but that means you pulled the grind muscle.

00:37:34
Speaker 3: Now this is gonna have to be for a playoff winner, a championship.

00:37:37
Speaker 1: Yeah no, yeah, Now you're not that you're what is your team one in three, two and two?

00:37:40
Speaker 3: What they yeah? One and three?

00:37:42
Speaker 1: Like for you, it doesn't apply. But there are times where you're in you're in playoff mode. Like I you.

00:37:48
Speaker 3: Know, if you said in order to win a playoff game, then you'd see me coming into work on crutches. I know that.

00:37:54
Speaker 1: I still think the Phillies are one of the favorites to really take the World Series. I think they're really well balanced squad. Yet, know, Zach Wheeler, what if I told some of these bonehead, die hard Phillies fans, who, by the way, they really are the most passionate. You gotta respect Philadelphia sports fans. Do you think someone that would take on the injuries of players missing if it meant that guy's healthy. And I think the answer is yes. People paint their face, people spend thousands of dollars, people buy jerseys, people get tattoos. You tell me they want to endure an injury, Dan Byer.

00:38:28
Speaker 4: Someone ate horsepoop after a celebration, of course, so they had already won to do it. Yeah, Like, if that allowed you to win, tells you everything that you need to know.

00:38:40
Speaker 1: I guarantee you go up to the Bay Area. I'm not saying I would do this. I got other things going on. I got to be Coach of the Year for sports and I like to stay active. But I guarantee there's Niner fans that if you said, hey, would you take on Bosa's acl I bet you they would. I bet you this in die Hard Bang Bang Niners gang people that say, yeah, dude, I'll take on the injury in some hypothetical world.

00:39:03
Speaker 2: Transfer it from him to me.

00:39:05
Speaker 1: But well, because think of it, we're so diehard, Sam. It's not like people break their TVs. People cry, people are emotional, you see how I mean? Sports bring out so much passion in people. And I really think that, like, if you told me what would I do for the Mets to have made the playoffs this year, and instead of just sitting around today and then playing I probably would have taken on a little something maybe who knows. Just saying this conversation could become very morbid. It can become I mean, no one's saying they're gonna take on any deadly things, but I mean, like, like, if you know, if I told you I was gonna win some big thing, but Sam, you have to break your big toe.

00:39:46
Speaker 5: I think you'd break your big toe. Well, Danny brought up to this scene. Go ahead, Danny, you can oh my casino. Oh yeah, the guys like where they say like, you can walk out of here with the money, but we're gonna break your knees or we'll break your hand and you get nothing with something like that. Yeah, and the guy's like, yeah, take the broken hand. Yeah, they smash his fingers with the hammer.

00:40:03
Speaker 1: If I like Sam, if I told you, Iowa like shock the world like next year and there's the undefeated football playoff and won the whole thing. But we got to smash your hand with a hammer.

00:40:13
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

00:40:14
Speaker 3: See, but that heals. It needs to be something that lasts forever, like herpes.

00:40:21
Speaker 2: Never handed out herpes.

00:40:22
Speaker 1: We're giving Sam.

00:40:23
Speaker 2: I just want a broken hand. This is I'm not going to consider that other option.

00:40:27
Speaker 1: This is a simple hand injury.

00:40:29
Speaker 2: Thank god Cavino's back tomorrow.

00:40:30
Speaker 4: For the record, Sam would get herpes if I would wuld score thirty or more in a game.

00:40:35
Speaker 2: I go out and make bad.

00:40:36
Speaker 1: Decisions, right Yeah, all right, Hey, guys, I want to thank all of you for holding down the four. Dann Bayer, thank you for being a fantastic co host, and Danny g just being the best producer in the biz. And I was Sam. You bring the joy and spot.
